@aFit50 A friend of mine keeps telling me I’m “tiny” but I still see that FAT girl in the mirror. On Friday, when we met our friends for lunch, they both mentioned how slim I am. I have to admit I can see it when I look at my side view in the mirror but straight on, I’m still MENTALLY the fat girl. We’ll get there mentally but it takes time.10

@quiltingjane - thanks! They are definitely extra calories I don’t need with such a high deficit right now. I will add back very mindfully. I am not really into hard alcohol - easier for me to just go without. I’ll keep that in mind for my upcoming conference in a couple weeks though, where I know the beverages will be flowing. Editing to add - you do look tiny in your profile photo!

5’7, female, 38 years old
SW: 210.8
GW: 140ish
R64: 207.8-200.8 (-7.0lbs)
R65: 200.8–200.6 (-0.2lbs)
R66: SW 200.6 GW 197.x
Daily goals: drink 100oz or more of water; no alcohol; stay around my 1200 calories; dedicated 1hr of exercise 8/10 days; 15k steps; 3k calorie burn via Fitbit
1/23: 198.8 - thank goodness! 🤩 Onederland! This was the woosh I was expecting all last round. Hit all my goals yesterday.
1/24: 198.2 - met, and exceeded, all my goals yesterday. Tried drinking 150oz of water, which is recommended for my weight by a lot of calculators, but had to get up 3x during the night, so I’ll stick with the 100oz still, which allows me to sleep through the night. I made oatmeal chocolate chip walnut cookies with the kids yesterday AM, and have so far resisted having one. Normally I would crave one for breakfast with my coffee, but sweet doesn’t sound *as good* in the AMs after trying to do high protein in the mornings for the last month (this is a great NSV for me!), and I know if I start my day with one, it could all go downhill fast. Also, I tried switching 1 of my coffees for 1-2 black teas over the past week, and I was getting headaches, so I am back to coffee with milk (the only time I ever get headaches, for the last 20 years, has been from lack of caffeine.)
1/25: 196.6 - whoa, totally unexpected, but I’ll take it! Had a stressful day, and got some very bad news. Hit all my goals, but didn’t eat nutritiously.
Also, today marks 1 month since I started. I’ve lost 14lbs total, have only had alcohol once (next round I’ll start adding it back carefully - I credit alcohol calories with a majority of my weight gain), feel like I mostly have a good and sustainable routine with getting to the gym (making it routine is always hard for me), and I have more energy in general. I think I’ve lost at least two inches off my waist, but I didn’t measure right away, so I won’t officially measure again until next week. My skin is the most noticeable difference too me - it looks great and glowing with all the water and workouts. This group has been super motivating and inspirational and I appreciate you all! Having a place to report in is definitely helping me stick to my daily goals more than I would have otherwise.
1/27: 197.0 - 😆 oh boy! This is why I didn’t change my goal weight for this round after getting in the 196.x. Was under calories yesterday, and had an extra active day with my kids (and a nap 🎉), but didn’t have dedicated exercise, only got 80oz of water, and my Fitbit needed to be recharged, so I imagine I was close on steps and calories burned but just don’t know for sure.
1/28: 197.2 - I expected this. Extra active day yesterday, hit all my goals, but food was high in sodium. Pre-made steak, chicken, and black beans to use for meals all week, so I feel good about that. However, I am feeling extremely anxious today about some projects I need to start/complete in the next couple of days, so I hope I can handle them well. Hugs appreciated - my stomach is in knots over here.

Please join us! Starting on 01/23 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 66
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

01/23 129.5 Awake before 5AM again. UGH. I think it’s the neighbor’s dog. Once I sat down with my coffee I listened to it barking from 5:15 until about 6:30 — nonstop!
01/24 130.5 Had Greek salad with gyro, half for lunch, half for dinner yesterday. Finally some bathroom action! Mammo and Dexa this morning, DGDs basketball and cheer tonight.
01/25 129.0 Didn’t go to b-ball because the check engine light went on in my car. Will take it to dealer as we head out of town for the day. Lunch over the hump in Pahrump!
01/26 128.5 Spent a few hours visiting with our friends yesterday and had a wonderful steak salad, well, half of it. I will eat the other half today.
01/27 128.5. Went to the movies to see The Upside (excellent) and picked up BBQ from Tucky’s for dinner.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/23 - 179.6 lbs / I've been doing pretty well so far today. I took a 15 minute walk during my break & I've had 32 oz of water so far. Hopefully, I do well during the whole challenge.
01/24 - 179 exactly today. I did a little cardio when I got home yesterday & didn't have a big dinner.
01/25 - So today I weighed in at 180. I did really good with my calories yesterday, and I worked out after work. Not really sure why the scale doesn't reflect the hard work, but then again I did have a little fried food for dinner
01/26 - 180.6 today. Yesterday was not great calorie wise & tonight I'm taking my mom to a seafood buffet for her birthday. I'll just start fresh tomorrow.
01/27 - 180.2. I did go to the buffet yesterday but amazingly I stuck to only one plate
which I couldn't even finish & I didn't have drinks afterwards. I didn't keep track of my meals but I think I did ok in terms of calories. I didn't work out yesterday but today's a new day & I'm ready to start over again.
01/28 - 180.4 / I'm starting to feel really stagnant now. I'm just glad it's Monday because I tend to eat better on days that I work. Hopefully, I at least get down to 178 by the end of this challenge.

01/23 222.4 lbs
01/24 222.6 lbs *sick, so no walking or exercise the past couple days. I met my daily goal for water intake and food, so I'm considering it a win.
01/25 222.2 lbs Slow recovery, so still no exercise today. But I'm holding steady with water and no wine. Hoping to get out walking tomorrow.
01/26 223.4 Yikes! Wrong way!
01/27 222.4 Back to the start, but ready to start exercising again. It's a gorgeous day for a walk outside!
01/28 223.4 How?? I had a great day; closed all my circles, drank all my water, 10K steps. My scale seems to love this number. My monthly goal was to lose 8 lbs, so I'm determined to get this down in the next 3 days!

Round 66 (My 20th)
01/23 143 Late posting but I'm going to try not to forget a day this round 🙂. Still grying to focus on IF, for the most part have done well. Also could do better with water intake. Good luck friends!
01/24 143 Tonight we are going out to eat to a wing place, so there may be a temporary gain tomorrow.
01/25 143.5 I expected a little gain, had a cocktail and wings last night and wing chips. Was so good though!
01/26 144 LNS got to me last night, I didn't just snack, I had pancakes! Drinking lots of water today.
01/27 144 Well I'll never reach my goals if I keep eating like I have this weekend. We had fast food last night. Going to the grocery store today because I'm out of a lot of healthy foods, that should help for sure. Time to make things better this round. My husband has taken a lot of work off lately just to burn some of his vacation time, and it's so much harder for me to stay on track when he's home. He goes back to work tomorrow, so this coming week should be better.
01/28 143.5 Was under a few hundred calories yesterday.

Goals:

Short Term Goal: Lose 2 pounds this round.
First Long Term Weight Goal: To weigh 175 by Valentine’s Day 💗💗💗 I hope to achieve this by losing about 1.5 pounds per week (or 2 lbs per round).
My Second Long Term Weight Goal: To weigh 155 by my Birthday on May 10th by sticking to my plan to lose 1.5 pounds per week (or 2 lbs per round).
My third Long Term Weight Goal: To weigh 145 by the 4th of July using the same plan as above.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/23 ….. 187.1 ….. This thing we always hear about it being hard to lose weight in the winter…. Well, they ain’t kiddin’ folks! It’s not just the holidays! It’s being stuck in during these snow storms & much much more.
01/24 ….. 186.8 ….. Yesterday was great. Right on plan. IF 18:6 Over six hours of sleep which is phenomental for me! 21 Net Carbs. 1062 Calories. 16,231 steps. 6.93 miles of activity. 13/13 steps hours on fitbit. I danced 53 minutes (my son danced 39 of them with me!) Sample song: Beautiful Loser by Bob Segar.
01/25 187.3 Pool Hall & potluck at the Moose went well last night. I was a bit over on carbs and calories but ate way less than my old days. No dancing yesterday but I did get in a 35 minute walk. IF 16:8. 10,193 steps total. 4.34 miles. 12/13 step hours. 2301 calories burned. 4 hours 30 minutes of sleep.
01/26 ….. 187.1….. 14 Net Carbs. 1365 Calories. I burned 2604 calories. 13,363 steps overall. 5.71 miles overall. 13/13 step hours on fitbit. Slept 4 hours 23 minutes which is typical. My awake/eating window is bigger than normal due to such little daily sleep so I keep it in check with 16:8 IF. I aerobic danced 53 minutes. One of the songs was “Give credit where credit is due” by Meghan Trainor.
01/27 …..186.9 ….. 12 Net Carbs. 1144 Calories. I burned 2549 Calories for the day. 13,155 steps overall. 5.58 miles overall. 13/13 step hours on fitbit. I slept an amazing 7 hours 57 minutes last night (which I haven’t done in years!) IF 16:8. I danced for 55 minutes. One of the songs was “Born to Run” by Bruce Springsteen. I danced in two different sets. My eating plan was fantastic all day, and my macros perfect. I am so thrilled to see so many folks getting into new decades this round. I’m not there yet but I’m working hard on it and have felt so wonderful these past few days! I hope my level of enthusiasm & dedication continues. Right now, in the words of Bruce himself, “I’m on Fire”. Watching your journeys helps a lot. If YOU can do it, then I can do it! Remember also, if I can do it then YOU can do it too. Supporting eachother is a big tool in our toolbox and I’m feeling pretty handy right now. Hope your Sunday is going great!
01/28 …..186.7….. Fat is melting away in a slow drip but I’ll take it. All this new muscle movement in the dancing is likely adding a bit of water, but if it is needed for recovery or for muscle building then that’s okay. I may have a cup or two of double threat water today using the Parsley sprigs & lemon. I had a Long work day yesterday but got in lots of steps, then a couple of sets of dancing later, some with son. Great numbers to report: 10 Net Carbs. 1040 Calories. I burned 2853 calories for the day. 22,158 total steps & 9.39 miles! Yay me! 13/13 step hours on fitbit. IF was at 21:3 because of late start eating & time restraints. I slept 5 hours 27 minutes. I danced for 150 minutes and my son danced 53 of them with me! One of the songs was “I Can’t Get Next To You”, by the Temptations. We are expecting 8 more inches of snow today & its already started so I must go shovel in a few. I have to keep it clear around the cabins & office. I’ll also check in the cabins that are empty to see if anything froze last night since it went down to -8 degrees below zero F. I hope you all will have a great week & will find your most favorite ways of fitting in some fitness during the winter months when Mother Nature doesn’t make it easy. Have a great week everyone!

About me: 62, 5'7", hit maintenance in March 2018 and, typical yoyo, currently bouncing back up over original goal weight of 130. Want to get back to 127-128.
Crept back to JGM10D quietly and somewhat inconsistently in Round 60 but now I am back (for reals!)
1/23 - 133.6 - yesterday (again) way over calories due to low-sleep-induced sugar, and way under step goal. Poor sleep leaves me depleted and with very sub-par ability to govern myself.
Today, however, is the start of a new round and time to remind myself that every day, every moment, is a new chance to choose.
1/24 - 134.4 - yesterday was pretty good, honestly a bit over maintenance but at least I logged and did not totally abandon sense. 5500 steps only though.
1/25 - 134.2 -
1/26 - 133.6 -
1/27 - didn't weigh - yesterday doubtless over on calories, but 13/13 hours active on my fitbit, 11K steps, walked 2 miles, and got on my road bike for 40 minutes and climbed a hill till I couldn't.
1/28 - 135.0 and deserved. Food has been all over the map but mainly, over. On the brighter side, got on my road bike again for 40 minutes, and went farther up that hill before I couldn't.

ROUND 24 FOR ME.
01/28 …..186.7….. Fat is melting away in a slow drip but I’ll take it. All this new muscle movement in the dancing is likely adding a bit of water, but if it is needed for recovery or for muscle building then that’s okay. I may have a cup or two of double threat water today using the Parsley sprigs & lemon. I had a Long work day yesterday but got in lots of steps, then a couple of sets of dancing later, some with son. Great numbers to report: 10 Net Carbs. 1040 Calories. I burned 2853 calories for the day. 22,158 total steps & 9.39 miles! Yay me! 13/13 step hours on fitbit. IF was at 21:3 because of late start eating & time restraints. I slept 5 hours 27 minutes. I danced for 150 minutes and my son danced 53 of them with me! One of the songs was “I Can’t Get Next To You”, by the Temptations. We are expecting 8 more inches of snow today & its already started so I must go shovel in a few. I have to keep it clear around the cabins & office. I’ll also check in the cabins that are empty to see if anything froze last night since it went down to -8 degrees below zero F. I hope you all will have a great week & will find your most favorite ways of fitting in some fitness during the winter months when Mother Nature doesn’t make it easy. Have a great week everyone!
Donna - your dancing has inspired me. I was dancing in my car yesterday (you guys do it too- don't lie ) and thought of you. I could dance for an hour at my house. I'm going to make up a mixed tape (ok a playlist but I'm an 80's girl and call it a mixed tape) for myself to dance to. I don't know how many calories I'll burn but it has to be better than sitting on my booty.

@FarmerCarla & @quiltingjaine I also watch My 600 pound life (the new season just started recently). I actually try to keep a few on my direct TV dvr as a tool to combat LNS. When I'm feeling strong (like right now) and I get horrible cravings to get into my son's snacks I just turn an episode on and all the cravings go away lol. I also watch "Skin tight" which I believe is also on TLC. It's only an hour long.
@Roxmom66 Congrats on the new low weight. Way to Go!!!
@shunggie I agree with @quiltingjaine. I don't think it's the zoodles themselves. They have never caused me an issue either. It must be another ingredient. When you are able, try zoodling at home & see what happens. They are a great item in most any diet plan you choose.5 -

Ultimate Goal Weight - 120
Day/Weight/Comment
1/22 162.3
01/23 162.6 Hoping to get back on track today with food and eating. Last month I was on a juice fast for three days during my time of the month, so it was hard to see what the weight fluctuations looked like. I started today so will start tracking that going forward since I already can feel myself retaining water more than usual.
01/24 161.6 Had a great day yesterday, but all day today I have had a splitting headache so was unable to go the gym. I have been drinking a lot of water and did stay in my calorie allowance, so hoping for a good weigh in tomorrow and for this headache to leave.
01/25 161.7 Thankfully, I woke up with no headache so already starting off today on a better note. Planning on 45 minutes at gym on cardio machine and 10,000+ steps.
01/26 161.3 Tomorrow and Monday I am going to try to exercise 60 minutes to make up for missing today's 45 minute exercise session. Stayed in calorie count, but didn't get step or exercise count because I had an off site meeting today.
01/27 160.8
01/28 161.2 I meal prepped lunch for the first time. It was the first time I used my instant pot to cook chicken breast and it was easy. I have been unsure of the machine up until now, since I am only cooking for myself and my husband and some things seem to take as long as cooking via another method. This was relatively quick, especially with multiple portions.

From Round 64: When my weight is 153.2 or less for 7 days in a row, I will get a pair of new jeans, a new bra, and a top. 8/8 DID IT!! ❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣
Off to shop for these. Wish me luck (I hate to clothes shop - too many bad memories- time to turn that around, too)
Hubby is even coming with me for first time ever!)
Shopping Update: Gave hubby the option of sitting at a coffee place, which I took, and in an hour LOL bought the cutest bra! Nice to have colors to choose from now! Found two tops - one a ballet tea & the other a white long-sleeved ribbed sweater, both marked XS Petite LOLOL I’m 5’8.5 and 151-2 lbs, but they fit & looked good! Struck out in the jeans- all were cropped, so I went to hubby who was on phone & happy, so I dove in again...headed to restroom after perusing necklaces (not “gave me joy” so I resisted...and discovered another dept. “A regular department” sales lady said. Tried on jeans, but all were too tight- decided I’d truly online store & sales lady. She hells me & locates the next size up on computer (they go by waist measurement! And they have one that she hunts for & finds. Got it! Expensive. Will look today to see if I can find any discounted. Tags still on.
Anyway: mission accomplished!
Things I’m dealing with today:
How can I lose 76.9 lbs and have a BMI of 22.7 and be in largest sized pants in a “regular department”? Size 12 in
(Non-regular?) department..it’s all so confusing...
And my body positivity started to fail me with my above bell button pooch, not a muffin top, just the front. I think this means: get thinner & keep exercising lol
And now I need to pay attention to what I wrote a while ago:
You have accomplished great things with your health. Do keep this in mind! You are winning the war, if not each day’s battle! You are stronger & more robust than you think❣6 -

I usually measure in stone and just convert that to pounds for the site, however I’ll be switching my scale to pounds so I can get the oz reading each day.
01/22 – 132lb (pre-scale change)
Day/Weight/Comment
01/23 -131.8 (Been 9st 6lb for a few days so don't know rate the oz's have dropped. Will be interesting to see)
01/24 -132.2 (Had quite a bit of salt yesterday, so may be water retention.)
01/25 -131.4 (That's better. So that would mean I'm 9st 5lb now right? Had real tasty food yesterday. Pork
tenderloin stuffed with garlic, kale, mushrooms and chorizo. Served with wild mushroom gravy and veggie mash, for lunch. Keto crème brûlée for desert. Then had a mini omelette (mushroom, bacon, bell pepper) with guacamole for dinner. Satisfying day
)
01/26 -131.4 (Had a nice massage yesterday. Late birthday treat. They had a lot of sugary snacks on hand in the waiting area. Biscuits being offered, chocolates on the table, gummy sweets to the side; It was a challenge to resist free offerings. Then when I had a cup of tea, 2 little biscuits with dark chocolate and coconut covering were served beside it. Warred with myself for 5mins before I ended up having them. After searching for them online, 2 of them come to 7g carbs. So much for such small biscuits. But I was able to resit asking for more or going 'oh well might as well splurge now and have that chocolate too'. I managed to keep to my carb limits for the day.)
01/27 - 130.8 (Surprising, considering I snacked on some nuts late last night. Stressful time with my 6 months old nephew as he has a cold and wouldn't stay asleep for long. Sister out for the night with friends. )

OSW: 252
Round 66 SW: 214.6
01/23—216.8— Not an unexpected bump. I'm back to retaining water, have some digestive funkiness, and TOM looms. I didn't get 45 to continue to the next round of my push ups challenge, but I'm stoked because I got to 40. (42 if I count the two terrible ones at the end where I lost my form and nearly faceplanted.) So I went from 31 to 40 in ten days. Progress!
01/24—215.8—Had a lot of guesswork in my calories yesterday. I estimated high but lunch was plain chicken breast on plain salad. (I hate conference food!) Today will be more sedentary than yesterday, so I'll need to be mindful and keep moving.
01/25—216.6—TOM and non-ideal eating. Boo. I ate back all of my exercise calories, which I don't tend to like to do. I don't feel great, but I don't feel terrible either, which is a win!
01/26—217—This was after drinking a couple of glasses of water.
01/27—215.8—Late weigh-in. I felt really awful this morning so I went back to bed.
01/28—216.2—Rocky weekend for how I was feeling, but I ate well and got in a lot of moderate exercise minutes. I don't work for the US federal government, but a lot of my work is in reaction to what the federal government does, so it's possible this will be a real sprint of a week as the end of the shutdown might mean a ton of new things to respond to. Whee!

LNS=Late Night Snacking
I'm not sure about EW. I might recognize it in context. W often means "weight."3 -
welcome @mammy2one EW is end weight and LNS is late night snacking. There is a list somewhere. I will post it when I have time - if someone doesn't beat me to it.. This is a very responsive and supportive group!4

Goal this round: To get out of the 160’s or at least consistently not above 160. Right now even ½ lb. per round would seem great. This is the same goal as last round but I made it down .4 so will keep working from there. My short term goal is to be down at least 6 lb. by the end of March. That is just .8/Round but for me would be great progress.
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128; Hoping to be under 140 by end of June. (Not sure if this is possible for me but even well down in the 150’s would be better than where I am at now.
Day/Weight/Comment
01/23 – 162.8 – Good day yesterday with no LNS. Maybe a lag on the blip up I was expecting from Sunday.
01/24 – 162.8 – Good day and good workout at the gym. Maybe a drop in a day or so.
01/25 – 161.8 – Here we are back at start finally. Unfortunately had a funeral yesterday (very elderly father of a friend) and the usual food afterwards. Kept it minimal but have no idea of the cals. and am sure it put me over. I guess we’ll see.
01/26 – 162.4 – Got a call during supper, finished later and, of course, ate more and did not track. Not likely too wildly over. So resolve for today is to track all. Such a pain but just have to get over that.
01/27 – 162.6
01/28 – 162 - Felt hungry just as I was heading to bed last night. In the past I would have thought, “Better eat something or I won’t be able to sleep.” What a lie. Slept great and actually stomach feels better than when I cave to LNS.

@shunggie, I find line dances can be really useful for times when you want to move but tend to run out of inspiration. The Wobble is one of my favorites to keep me moving (you can use it with lots of music, not just the original song).4 -

Last round I finally reached that elusive 140's decade that had been haunting/teasing me for the last couple of rounds. I hope to see a new low of 147/146 this round and continue to drop my 10 day average. I do have a 3 day family ski trip this weekend, so I am going to try and work around that and focus on my goals. I do not ski (not coordinated enough for that) but everybody else does. So I do a lot of reading, people watching, shopping, and drinking in the lodge. This round ends on a Friday, which is usually one of my lowest days of the week. So I am excited to see how this round goes.
Last 5 rounds:

Day/Weight/Comment
01/23 -148.8 Back to normal after my weekend blip. Doing good today and have my lunch and water mapped out. DH and I have dinner plans with all 5 of our kids tonight. It is really hard to get everybody together anymore now that they are so busy with there own lives. We are going to Red Lobster so should be easy to stay in calories as long as I stay away from the rolls. 2 more days and we will be on vacation.
01/24 - 149.4 Up just a bit probably from dinner last night. I cheated and ate 1 of the roll (worth it), other than that did great. Work half day today, then my son has an orthodontist appt and my daughter has a cleaning at the dentist. Tonight packing and getting ready for out trip. Will weigh tomorrow, but the hubby said the scale is not coming with us, lol. So no weigh in after that until Monday. Hopefully it's not going to be to terrible.
01/25 - 149.4 didn't do great last night. Had a left over roll from Red Lobster and 2 beers. Lol, DH and I started our vacation a bit early. The rest of the day was good and I had a low calorie dinner. Leaving in about an hour and will try and update, but won't have weights. Hope everybody has a great weekend and hope my weight isn't to terrible on Monday.
01/26 - VACATION - no scale
01/27 - VACATION - no scale
01/28 - 153.4 totally expected. No where near enough water this weekend and extremely tired. Our weekend vaca was so busy and over so quick. Had fun though and glad we got to spend time with the family. Drove home last night and I could tell I was dehydrated. Although I did sleep great for the first time since Thursday. This bump will be gone by tomorrow. Water, clean food, and sleep tonight are my goals. Looking to finish this month and 10 day challenge off right this week. Looking for my 147.xxx to pop up on the scale!
