Hello Friends! Hope all is well. Sorry I have been MIA. Hope to join you all soon

I have my weights...I have been comfort eating so I am up. Having real life pain right now. If I don't join you all next round, I will before month end for sure. Not sure I will try to catch up at this point.

What do you all normally do when you miss rounds? Do you go back and try to catch up? or jump in when you can? For me I think I am just going to jump in when I can...... There are only a few more days left on this one so I think I will wait until round 68 starts?? Please message me if possible or reply here. I will see messages sooner.....

You all are rocking just being here gain or lose. If you are losing.....awesome indeed.....whoohooo and by all means .....Keep up the good work! :flowerforyou:

Have a great weekend everyone!

@IsMollyReallyHungry

I would not go back & try to catch up old rounds with your notes. I would just jump in now. start logging & weighing. Make your new goals. If you keep a spoiler, just skip the round numbers you missed, but continue listing the ones you do participate in like this:

Round 60 EW 200.0
Round 61 EW 198.7
Round 62 Did Not Track
Round 63 EW 201.6
Round 64 EW 200.1

Then take it from there. What really counts is that you are logging & participating when you can. Welcome back!

Mini target for end of Feb - to get into the 160's. This may be ambitious, but I think it will help keep me focused and on target.

SW for round: 182.8
GW for round: 179.2lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
02/02 - 181.4lbs - Whoosh! I was back to being good yesterday and had a snow day with my daughter so we played in that loads and made her first snowmen and did snow Angel's etc, so I got some natural, fun exercise in
02/03 - 182.02lbs - not surprised. Had sisters 40th birthday party last night, so had quite a bit of alcohol. I clocked up over 16,000 steps with all the dancing, but it was very energetic, so I expect the calorie burn was good. Hopefully undo some of the calorie damage of the alcohol and I'll see a better number on the scale tomorrow morning once I've stopped retaining water.
02/04 - 183lbs
02/05 - 182.2lbs - having trouble posting. TOM.
02/06 - 181.8lbs - back on track and seeing the number fall
02/07 - 181lbs - still coming down, which is great started with another cold though. Not so great.
02/08 - 180lbs - wahoo. Really pleased with this. I guess my weight on Monday was mostly water weight as have had such a whoosh since then. Really want to get into the 170s by the end of this round! Fingers crossed. We're going out for a curry tomorrow night to celebrate DHs best friends 40th birthday (so many 40ths this year). Hopefully I don't do too much damage. I will be driving, so not drinking, so it'll just be the calorie dense food!
02/09 - 180lbs - just want my cold to go away now! Lol

Day/Weight/Comment
02/03 169.0 - Yay! glad to be in the 160s again!!!
02/04 170 Sunday was bad... tried to do a cleanse and instead totally broke it and ate quaker rice chips...
02/05 170.6
02/06 169
02/07 168.8 - yay! i’ve been eating mostly clean the last few days and doing my isagenix shakes mainly for breakfast and lunch... i’m up early today-5am and motivated. Need to either get to the gym or go to my basement for a workout. There was an ice storm yesterday so usually i would lean to the gym but basement is looking good when i think of the roads.
Also 168.8 has been my “all time” low since I started this year... So I really really want to move past it and down to the low 168s and then 167!
02/08 169.8 - Feeling so defeated and frustrated. Up a pound??? wtf??? I feel like i did everything right yesterday except I didn’t follow my diet by the book. I went off the rails with a pad thai lunch instead of shake or bar. But i went to the gym in the morning so thought i had wiggle room there.
02/09 167.8 a big YES!!! and silent cheering today as the scale shows me the 167s and also lower BMI and BF #s. So the big thing I did yesterday was deciding to try my program cleanse. You’re supposed to cleanse once or twice per week which is eat basically nothing but a special juice all day. However I broke my fast in the evening because my hubby made a delicious dinner from a meal kit service we just started (the kind where they send you a box of ingredients every week and recipes. So obviously the cleansing will create a big loss... But even a half day cleanse worked on me! I still have to lose and maintain while eating normally. Still would like to get into the 166s before this challenge ends! only 3 more days!!!

I am going to avoid it at all costs for a week then experiment again. If that's the case this has been a life long issue that could potentially be sorted with just being more mindful and noting what I eat..Fingers crossed!

Round 66 ~|~ End Goal: < 165
01/01: 165.1: Goals ✅ Almost made it! Lol!

Round 67 ~|~ End goal: <164
02/02: 164.6: Goals Now why couldn't that have happened yesterday? Lol! Spent 4 hours walking round Belfast City with my daughters. Some offbeat food choices, but well under goal. Mostly water weight, I think.
03/02: 164.8: Goals ✅ Family visits today. Didn't over-indulge. Took it easy exercise wise.
04/02: 164.9: Goals ✅ I had meetings before/after lunch, but was able to fit in some exercise. Walked my steps up after dinner.
05/02: 164.8: Goals ✅ I had meeting in the morning and evening. Felt a bit bleaugh! In the afternoon and took it easy, then Will Power decided to desert me after dinner, and because I had spare calories, I ate a few snacks when I was out and before bed. It will have consequences, but the beauty of life is that we get a fresh start every single day.
06/02: 164.9: Goals: ✅ Planning to walk and go to the gym later. (I walked over an hour at the mall + some more later on the treadmill at gym, also did stationary bike and weights circuit.)
07/02: 164.9: Goals: I have a dance class this morning, and planning a arms session later. ✅All in all, a good day. Our daughter came for dinner, but she's doing Slimming World, so there were no temptations.
08/02: 164:8: Goals: ✅ *sigh* Plateaux are the pits! But they are a part of the process which we have to accept. This, too, shall pass! Noticed this morning that my muscle mass has increased from 27.2 to 27.4 which could explain this plateau. Had an busy day, but stayed up way too late.
09/02: 164.9: Goals: Gym session with my PT this afternoon.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
• A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
• Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
• The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
• Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
• The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
• When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
• Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Round 61 11st 12lb (-1 lb)
Round 62 11st 11.6lb (-0.5lb
Round 63 11st 11.8lb (+0.2lb)
Round 64 11st 8.0lb (-3.8lb)
Round 65 11st 6.8lb (-1.2lb)
Round 66 11st 6.6lb (-0.2lb)

Not weighed since since last Tuesday, so I could be lower - hopefully so

Day/Weight/Comment
02/02 Unable to weigh. Arrived back home this afternoon so I will weigh in again tomorrow morning.
02/03 11st 5.0lb Very happy with this...now to be careful as I have been invited out to my daughter's house for the day including lunch
02/04 11st 5.8lb Well, some weight put on. It was difficult to estimate the food I was given but I refused a pudding which was 333 calories! My son on law opened a bottle of champagne which only he and I had - he had bought it for us to share on New Year's day but as my daughter was not well, I didn't go there. I ended up drinking 3 glasses of that...fatal.
02/05 11st 5.6lb Ate just under mfp calories and none of my exercise calories which were higher than usual. Hopefully it's water retention which has kept my weight up - I had some crisps before bed. I treated myself as my net calories were quite low. Bad idea.
02/06 11st 6.2 Again - ate under my mfp calories and none of my exercise calories. No salty foods and ate nothing in the evening. My neighbour brought me round some flavoured water which had nil calories! However, I had a long session at the dentist having a root canal treatment and my face was swollen still in the evening, so maybe that contributed.
02/07 11st 5.4lb Finally going back down. Eating at 1200 only gives me a deficit of 200 from my maintenance level, so ignoring the first 300 exercise calories is the only way to get a 500 deficit, and I don't get that many exercise calories every day.
02/08 11st 5.4lb Happy to have stayed the same today - weighed this morning, only just found time to post it

02/09 11st 5.0lb Pleased to see I'm back to this weight after 6 days of fluctuations.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/03 – no scale, went over calories and had beer, but planning on a walk in the morning.
02/04 – 194.7 – I’m actually ok with this. I gained less than a pound. Didn’t eat like a wanted, but went on an hour hike, so didn’t really go over my calories. No alcohol. Hopefully if I drink all my water and stay away from salt today it will come back down.
02/05 – 194.9 – up a little, but still under 195. I had 2 beers last night and a hamburger and tater tots. I did start C25K and drank all my water. Also did 20 squats.
02/06 – 194.2 – on the right track and hopefully tomorrow will be 194 or below. I recorded all food, drank all water, and no alcohol, but no exercise.
02/07 – 193.6 – YEA! Recorded all food, drank all my water, no alcohol, and did 2nd day of C25K.
02/08 – 192.2 – I’m very happy. Recorded all food, drank my water, no alcohol, but I didn’t exercise. C25K again tomorrow.
02/09
02/10 – 193.1 – Sad!! I recorded all food, drank all my water, no alcohol and did C25K. I felt like I did a good job yesterday so this was surprising. Maybe tomorrow.

How quickly 10 days flies!!! Had to have some supportive self-talk this morning ... you know when you want the scale to move faster than it does. Up & down it goes where it stops at this end of this round or on my official Monday weigh ins ... nobody knows.

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine. - John C. Maxwell

My goal for 2019 is to get into ONEderland. Changing my life.
Plans:
- Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target 70k steps per week
- Drink more water (target min 64 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
- Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018)

Round 67: My focus is to continue tracking streak, drink more water and be active every day in some way shape or form!

Posting weight each morning, and comments for the previous day.
2/2 - 237.4 - walked 1+ miles 3x, bike 12 min, steps 12873, 80oz water, track, V, AF; Developed a schedule for daily/weekly routine for the first 4 months of retirement that includes exercise every morning and then weekly - meal planning + grocery list, anti-procrastination projects, vacation planning, gardening, culling through boxes of pictures, spanish lessons etc. Setting the time aside.
2/3 - 237.5 - walked 2.5 miles before brunch, steps 12373, 80oz water, track V, AF; Wonderful brunch which included Chantilly cake to celebrate my retirement. I believe this is the last celebration but of course will not be the last food challenge in 2019.
2/4 - 236.7 - walked 3.5 miles, steps 12171, 80oz water, track, V, AF It was a good day.
2/5 - 237.4 - walked 2 miles, 15 min bike, steps 13601, 48oz water, track, V, AF It was a good busy day. Don’t get discouraged that the scale went up … keep focused.
2/6 - 237.8 - walked 2+ miles, yoga, planks, hand weights, gardening, steps 14056, 64 oz water, track, V, AF. Snacking and 2nds on pasta were my downfalls.
2/7 - 236.7 - walked 4+ miles, 15 min bike, steps 15560, 64 oz water, track, V, AF. Felt like I accomplished a lot today. Anti-Procrastination Day!
2/8 - 236.3 - walked 3+ miles, yoga, planks, hand weights, steps 13843, 80oz water, track, V, 2 glasses wine. Bunco and held it together. Helps that the hostess is doing WW and everything was healthy/low cal.
2/9 - 236.5 - walked 2+ miles, 15 min bike, 12279 steps, 64oz water, track, V, 2 glasses wine. Busy day dealing with finances for retirement, etc. Feel like I’m accomplishing something each day since beginning of my retirement Feb 1 but the scale is moving SLOW. Don’t get discouraged!

Day/Weight/Comment

02/02 – 144 – I had a very stressful day at work, culminating with the office landlord deciding to change out the ceramic tile in the lobby right outside my office door. 4 hours of a jackhammer banging on tile. I couldn’t leave because I’ve got 9 corporate tax clients sitting on my desk. After I gave the owner a piece of my mind, he sent the workers home for the day. When I got home, I took my cue from @deepwoodslady and played some heavy metal music on my Alexa and danced while I did dishes. Although I can see the irony, that music can really relieve some stress and I burned some extra calories.
02/03 - 144 - I'm sick again with a chest cold and so my husband made some good homemade food for us today. My weight will probably be up tomorrow, but it will be worth it.
02/04 – 145 – No surprise, I had less than 2000 steps in yesterday since I spent a good portion of the day in bed. The good news is that I’m feeling better and am able to come into the office. Back to the food logging, water, and steps.
02/05 – 145 – I was hoping all the water I drank yesterday would get rid of that pound, but I should know by now that’s not how my body works. A former co-worker is stopping by the office today with samples from her cupcake business. I am budgeting my calories for ONE mini cupcake. I’m posting this to keep myself accountable, because her cupcakes are incredible.
02/06 – 144.5 – The weight is slowly heading back down. I did manage to eat only one mini cupcake yesterday.
02/07 – 144 -
02/08 – 142.5 – I think my scale got “stuck” on this number this morning. I'll believe it if I see it again tomorrow. I’ve still been sick the past couple days with bronchitis and although I ate very little on Wednesday, I made up for it yesterday. I went to the Dr. on Wednesday and got some antibiotics, so I’m hoping I’ll keep getting better and be able to start getting my steps in.
02/09 – 143.5 – This weight makes more sense. I’m still coughing, but I’m definitely feeling better. We have a catered lunch at the office today and I’m making spinach lasagna for some friends and family tomorrow. The sodium alone will probably raise my weight over this weekend, but I’ll eat lightly the rest of the weekend to minimize the damage.

@tiabirdie56 – I’m going to jump on your Vitamin B train and say that when I started taking a vitamin B complex a couple years ago I could not believe the difference they made in my mood and energy levels. I was struggling with a lot of family and work stress. Tax season was coming up and there were a lot of family issues I had been “elected” to deal with. I felt overwhelmed and consequently I couldn’t get myself motivated to do anything. My SIL recommended a vitamin B complex. She even warned me to take them in the morning because I might have trouble sleeping with them. I bought a generic brand from Amazon and started taking them with breakfast. Within a few days, I felt my mood lifting and my energy levels were better than they had been in years. I don’t know how I would have handled that year without them. I had always taken a multi vitamin, but the extra B kick makes all the difference. I call them my legal speed. I’m going to look into the Methyl B information you’ve provided.

Round 66 Start: 323.5 End: 318

This round covers my pill break (02/01-02/08), due to PCOS I can have a lot of water weight increase. I'm willing to eat up to maintainance some days, if needed - basically giving myself extra leeway to cope with period cravings!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/02: 319.5lbs (+1.5) - Happy enough with this, ate pretty much right to my calorie goal yesterday and I think this may be around my actual weight.
02/03: 319.5 (+0) Yay for consistency.
02/04: 318.75 (-0.75) Going the right way, surprised as I'm feeling bloated as hell today.
02/05: 317.75 (-1) Wooshing! Feel like death today though.
02/06: 318 (+0.25) Happy enough, staying stable, and feeling better today again. Fish and chips tonight for my brother's birthday, will be nice! Babysitting my nephew too for a couple of hours.
02/07: 318.5 (+0.5) Earlier weigh and a gigantic meal last night, within my calorie goals though so should all even out. Yoghurt with fresh banana and a cup of tea for breakfast though, should start my day well without being too heavy. Expect to be down again by the end of the round. Had a lovely time yesterday though!
02/08: 314.5 (-4) Period was probably hiding my loss. My actual calorie deficit currently puts me at a 1.5lb/ week loss, possibly moving enough to make ~2lbs a week. Not sure how much water a person can have to lose for this whoosh! I did weigh twice to check. Very nice to see!
02/09: 314.5 (+0) Seeing this two days in a row is amazing. Nearly 12lbs since my starting weight, 14.5lbs from where I've been sitting on average for a while/where I was after Christmas, 21.5lbs from my heaviest. Having lost a stone from where I've sat for so long is an amazing feeling. Overdid it yesterday, but I don't want to overeat, because I know I'm getting there. Pretty happy overall!

@quiltingjaine @jaccimc63 and @tiabirdie56
My doctor prescribed both B12 and D3 during my last physical. I too take it in my morning. I have felt so much better and my symptoms disappeared!
The issues I mentioned which I thought were early signs of diabetes (it was not in my case) ... tiredness in the afternoon, tingling and numbness in one leg/foot, blurred vision, etc. The results of my full lab workup indicated that I was severely deficient in D3 and in B12 even though I was taking daily vitamin for women over 50 and Caltrate.

My doctor prescribed B12 methylocobalamin 2000mcg per day.

@ghy5 It's Calories In, Calories Out - just shorthand for the basic way you lose weight, having more out than in.

Don't think anybody else already replied, sorry if I'm doubling up! There's a useful thread on all the terms in the getting started forum too, worth a peruse!

Round 67 SW: 216

02/02—215.8—This was a very late weigh-in.

02/03—215.2—Also a later weigh-in than normal. Did a ton of exercising yesterday and was basically a single meal all day at a great Mexican restaurant.

02/04—216—Early weigh-in. Had a good eating day. Did another round of my push ups challenge. I'm a little achy today in my shoulders and my head. Bleh. My head feels like a sinus issue. BLEH! Oh, I'm complainy!

02/05—215.6—I was half expecting a gain despite being within calories. Lots of different weigh-in times this round so it's harder to discern a pattern. Tonight, I'm hoping to try another push ups test to see if I can do 45!

02/06—216—I feel like a hovercraft hovering over this number! I didn't do the push ups last night. I felt an all-over ache that just made me think I needed to get some more rest. Tonight's the night!

02/07—214.4—I DID 46 PUSH UPS IN A ROW LAST NIGHT. Of course, my reward is that now I have to do a harder workout... This was an early weigh-in so I'm very pleased at the number on the scale. Got a lot of exercise yesterday between cardio and strength. Plank jump-ins are rather evil.

02/08—213.8—Early weigh-in. Got a lot of walking in. No other exercise. Ate well, too. I'm in a good place!

02/09—213—30 minutes later than yesterday's weigh-in, so I feel good about this number. Got lots of exercise yesterday. Today will be high in exercise minutes of all sorts!

Disappointed with the last round as didn't feel the scales accurately reflected my 10 days. Going to try and change up my diet a bit this round and try and get out walking a bit more (already do 10k+ steps a few days a week so going to try and achieve this every day) along with keeping up my weekly swim one day a week and twice weekly gym PT session. Here we go!!!!

Round Target - lose 1.50-2lb

02/01 - 149.90

02/02 - 149.00lb (-0.90lb) Yay - off to a good start. Was a good food day and also walked 13k steps yesterday too - more of the same then I guess

02/03 - DNW - 10,561 steps

02/04 - 150.40lb - AARRGH!!! Back up we go again. Hoping this is just the weekend taunting me....... Found this pretty easy last year, but not so far this year ? Not doing anything really that different (have gone back and looked over my food diaries - is it that "(peri)-menopause thing" that makes it so much harder ? May investigate this a bit more.....
Didn't have my fitbit on yesterday but was busy all day cleaning and doing housework (builder are still going!). Planned walk later for the school run and then another one later on too. Hoping to see a drop tomorrow

02/05 - 149.90 down 0.50lb today but back to this number AGAIN! Fourth time in two weeks I've seen this number and would love it to be the last! Did my planned walks yesterday (14K steps in total) - unlikely to be so many today but will get in what walking I can and I am also at the gym tonight for an hour. Food all planned for today, will aim to drink more water as been a bit lax on that front recently and hope tomorrow sees another drop - anything less that 149.90lb - please!!!

02/06 - 150.40lb - here AGAIN!!!! Beginning to think my scales may be stuck in some horrendous loop
8,020 steps yesterday plus a weights session at the gym so that was all good and so was my food (I thought). Decided last night to go back to one of my earlier food diaries when I was losing weight relatively easily and repeat it today and see what happens...... I refuse to give up though - 5 days left of this round to crack it! Also planning a walk later after work .....

02/07 - 149.50lb down 0.90lb - OK this is good, heading in the right direction and my scale didn't stop on 149.90 again! Did my 10,000 steps yesterday and my food was spot on. Food planned for the day and will also be at the gym tonight for an hour - I shall continue my quest .....

02/08 - 148.70lb down 0.80lb - ok this is better. 7500 steps yesterday plus a tough HiiT session at the gym. No change in calories consumed but was grabbing convenience foods like bars or shakes for breakfast rather than preparing something (lazy I know!). As a result eating less overall carbs and more protein? Could this be the answer or at least part of it......

02/09 - 147.60 down 1.1lb - ooohhhh exciting - and continued to stay away from the meal bars / snacks and had a high protein lower carb day (still had an apple, we had (wholemeal) wraps for dinner so still eating carbs). Got in my 9k steps so a good day. Off for a swim now Have a great weekend people

02/08 169.8 - Feeling so defeated and frustrated. Up a pound??? wtf??? I feel like i did everything right yesterday except I didn’t follow my diet by the book. I went off the rails with a pad thai lunch instead of shake or bar. But i went to the gym in the morning so thought i had wiggle room there.

You probably are retaining a bit more water because of the pad thai and the gym exercise. When we first change our eating habits, many of us lose a lot of water weight (which isn't fat) and many of us will gain that water weight right back if we deviate from our plans. But that doesn't mean we aren't losing fat. Water is not fat!

Weight loss is not linear, and a lot of that has to do with water. Some days we have more of it in our systems, and some days we have less of it. Demanding a loss day after day will make you very frustrated. Instead, you should be looking at your trends. Try averaging a week or 10 days and see which direction you are heading.

You can do this! Remember, the scale gives you data. It's your tool, not your enemy!

When back to look for this. Thank you!
