Aiming to continue with the motivation and focus I had in the last round
Target for the round is to weigh in 139 (or less)
Nothing in the diary that should distract me so all set for a good round.
R77 start weight - 140.2lb
05/13 - 139.9lb (-0.3lb) Ooohhh happy with that weight to start the round. Means I have actually lost over the weekend (no big family dinner last night!) and am back under 140!!! Definitely a great motivator! Food planned and prepped and a decent walk planned for tonight so all good Now to stay under 140 ....
05/14 - 138.7lb (-1.2lb) - Oohhh..... Got on the scales twice to make sure! Am assuming the big drop was only because I had planned a bolognese pasta bake for dinner last night - didn't have as much pasta left as I thought so hubby and girls got the pasta bake and I had the bolognese meat sauce with a salad so dinner was very "light". Either that its the stress of my daughters GCSE Exams getting to me which started yesterday for the next month! Happy for today though! Food planned and prepped for the day and gym tonight for an hour .....
05/15 - 138.9;b (+0.2lb) Slightly up from yesterday but didn't expect such a big drop yesterday so very happy that my weight today has stabilised at this - 1lb down on the round so far and sitting at my round target! May well re-set my round target tomorrow. Food plan and prep sorted for the day so all good. Onwards and downwards.
05/16 - 138.6lb (-0.3lb) Loving this round so far Although I don't know why I''m surprised - the reality is I am meal planning and prepping, staying focused and logging everything I eat and honestly sticking to my daily allowances - and SURPRISE!!!!! - the weight is coming off. I'm thinking there's a link 
????
Burger night tonight so a higher carb (still within allowances) day which usually means a slight up on the scale the next day (albeit a temporary one)
Have decided to reset round target to be under 138 ...
05/17 - 138.8lb (+0.2lb) Weighed in but never had chance to log in here! Happy though as my weight seems to have stabilised about here after the big drop at the start of the round
05/18 - 138.7lb (-0.1lb) Slight drop so 1.5lb so far this round - all good. Food planned for the day as busy day ahead laying our new underfloor heating
05/19 - 138.8lb (+0.1lb)
05/20 - 142.0lb (+3.2lb)
05/21 - 141.4lb (-0.6lb) Weighed in just never got on here to log. Temporary weight gain mainly caused by a carb overload over the weekend. Hubby and I were very engrossed nearly all weekend laying the underfloor heating and my 11 year daughter took it upon herself to make us lunch both days which consisted of sandwiches and crisps one day and a ploughmans lunch the next with lots of bread and cheese - yummy! She also made a lovely sponge cake for us to enjoy mid afternoon with a cup of tea. Love her to bits xxxxx
And I did also have a couple of glasses of wine after we had finished on Sunday. So not a real gain but whenever I've overdone the carbs it always takes a good few days to get back to "normal" and expecting the "whoosh" probably Thursday so final round weigh in won't be what I had hoped it would be but its only timing so not concerned.

I am in for another round and have struggled through the beginning of last round and the end of round 75. When I started the first round I never imagined I would still be here. I am 52, 5’1.5” and still in the obese category but I am working on that. I have only been with MFP since February of this year when started using MFP site steady (joined 2016 and didn’t use much and then used off and on) and the weight loss is slowing down already. I definitely need to keep moving (exercising and walking, etc.) in order to see the scale go down. It is tough some days not seeing it move or only seeing a small weight loss. I stick with it though, I have to. As they say slow will keep the weight off.Round 68 SW: 225.8 – EW: 219.8 (↓6lbs)Day/Weight/Comment

I'm not liking this trend, but it's not a surprise given my food and alcohol consumption over the last week. I decided to see it as a diet break or holiday, which is how it felt having my friends and kids over.
Now, I will prioritise myself, diet and exercise for the next 3 days! I know what to do and this was a good reminder why I need to log and not let my mouth have free reign over what goes into it.
I'm glad I weighed every day (even if I didn't post) as it shows the consequences of my behaviour. Weekly trend weight is up by 0.7kg.

05/14 - Travelling - Got a stomach bug; Walked!
05/15 - Travelling - Stomach issues continue; Walked!
05/16 82 Kg - I think this is because of the stomach flu. I tend to put on weight midcycle, and then lose it again closer to my period. So this could be that as well. Clothes feel looser though.
05/17 82.2. Why the chocolate at night? Also did not walk because I was too tired from the travel.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/13: 169.0 well this reflects my weekend including a drink/eat whatever I want mother's day yesterday! Plus TOM started yesterday.
05/14: 167.8 Getting closer to where I was. I walked 4.5 miles yesterday. It felt really good. Eating was on point!
05/15: 167.0 Back to the number I was most of last week. Now to lose from here. Planning a walk this morning. My husband joined MFP last night! He doesn't have much to lose but he wants to work out together a few nights a week! He hasn't exercised since before our wedding 9 years ago. This will help me meet my goals and get him back into a healthier mindset. We certainly aren't getting any younger...
05/16: 166.4 yes! Had a great day yesterday. Exercise is good for so many reasons but it also helps me stay with better choices for myself. I start a four week golf group lesson today. Stepping outside my comfort zone as I don't know anyone else doing it.
05/17: 167.4
05/18: 167.4
05/19: 167.4 Frustrated to say the least! My eating has been good. I've been active and exercising. Oh well, keep on keeping on!
05/20: 167.4 Another great day of eating within calories. Got a walk in and was up and active outside. I'm scratching my head here...
05/21: 166.6 finally! Another solid day yesterday except less movement as I worked. I also tweaked my neck last night so stiff, painful neck today. It happens about 3-4 times a year. I'm over it and getting a referral for PT today.

Late to the party this time.
I've struggled the last few rounds. My winter blues did not go away but descended into a bigger problem. On Tuesday evening I realized I had eaten 5 chocolate bars and a package of candy in one afternoon! So my goal for this round is to stop the sugar/chocolate binges and get back to tracking. yesterday was my first day "back"

Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 – 143.5 – Glad to see I went down a pound.
05/14 – 143.5 – Although I’m glad I’m not up from Sunday’s calories, I am noticing that my trend weight has gone up a pound. I’ve gotten a little lax in measuring and weighing my food, so I’m going to start paying more attention.
05/15 – 142.5 - Drank plenty of water yesterday and stuck to 1400 calories.
05/16 – 143.5 – Well the body is going to do what the body wants to do…I drank plenty of water and kept at 1400 calories.
05/17 - 142.5 - Very busy day today, but also a lot of sodium, so we'll see what happens tomorrow.
05/18 - 143.5 - I almost forgot to weigh this morning. This was after breakfast and several cups of coffee. I've had a semi high calorie day, but I've done a lot of physical work today too. We'll see how this all plays out tomorrow.
05/19 - 144.5
05/20 - 144.5
05/21 – 145 – No surprise here, other than I’m surprised it’s not higher. My husband and I worked on a rental house we’re getting ready to sell from Friday through Sunday. We ate pizza and tacos for supper those nights. Then my husband wanted to take another day off work and drive to Amish country for some Amish cooked buffet food yesterday. It was delicious. My nsv was that for dessert I had one piece of German chocolate pie. In the past, I would buy a whole pie, take it home and piece on it the rest of the week. I am now at the top of my maintenance range, so I’m going to be watching my calories and water very closely the rest of this week. I’d like to get down a couple pounds before the picnic season hits full swing.

Round 6! I'll be continuing my goals of tracking at least 10,000 steps a day, tracking my water intake, and exercising when I have it on my calendar. I'd like to lose 2 lbs this round.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/13 179.0 lb I'm both happy with and suspicious of this weigh-in. We celebrated a rainy Mother's Day at my parents house where I had three beers, a cheeseburger, and pasta salad. Then, my boyfriend and I drove home separately because I needed to drop off my brother and he needed to let out the dog. I decided to surprise him with some cannoli chips and dip and he decided to surprise me with a cheese pizza for dinner. 🤦♀️ I only got in 8,226 steps due to the rain and had about 40 oz of non-calorie drinks. I have a light day of calories already logged in my diary to hopefully maintain this weight, but I won't be surprised if it creeps up as my weekend choices catch up with me.
5/14 180.6 lb 11,788 steps were tracked yesterday and I had 73 oz of water and non-calorie drinks. I'm planning on going to the gym after work today. Breakfast and lunch are light to help with whatever calories are in the dinner provided by the boyfriend. I haven't really discussed my weight loss goals with him and I don't have any expectations for him to get a healthy meal for us. He and I eat differently; he will stop when he gets full and I'm a lifetime member of the clean plate club.
My thinking is that since I'm looking to create long term habits, I should be learning to make the appropriate exercise and food choices to have a few higher calorie meals a week. So far, I'm enjoying the progress I'm making.
5/15 179.8 lb 19,874 steps and 66 oz of water and non-calorie drinks were tracked. I burned 350 calories on the elliptical at the gym, which was great because dinner was homemade steak and cheese sandwiches with tater tots and one beer. I've got a staff meeting this afternoon, followed by a long dog walk (about two miles if my Fitbit is accurate), and I'm ending the evening with pub trivia with the family.
5/16 179.6 lb Onward and downward! 14,268 steps and 59 oz of water and non-calorie drinks were tracked. We blew the final question at trivia, as we typically do, and I felt satisfied with two beers instead of my usual three. I'm planning on walking the dog for two miles and doing level one of the 30 Day Shred after work and then I'll be making chicken lettuce wraps for dinner.
5/17 179.6 lb We have about a month left in the school year and it certainly feels that way. I tracked 16,032 steps yesterday and had about 70 oz of water and non-calorie drinks. I've been drinking way too much Coke Zero, so I'm going to try limit myself to two cans a day. I walked the dog for one mile and did my workout after taking an unplanned afternoon nap. I'll be heading to the gym after work today and then I'll be preparing turkey meatballs over zoodles for dinner.
5/18 178.6 lb Feeling pleasantly sore today. I met my step goal with 13,640 steps, burned 350 calories on the elliptical, and had 61 oz of water and non-calorie drinks. I'll be doing lots of yard work today to get it ready for a get-together next weekend and I'm looking forward to a dinner out with my boyfriend tonight.
5/19 178.8 lb 12,945 steps that were mostly yard work. Dinner was mussels, fries, beer and ice cream, so I was basically eating at maintenance by the end of the day. I only had about 40 oz of water. I'll be walking around a botanical garden with my mother today followed by a late brunch, so I'm hoping to maintain this weight for the next couple of days.
5/20 179.0 lb Same weight as last Monday, but I'm much less suspicious of it. It's been nice to be consistently out of the 180's. The gardens were beautiful yesterday and brunch was a delicious treat. 11,164 steps were tracked and I had about 30 oz of water. I'll be taking the dog for a long walk between school and the last jazz band rehearsal of the year. Meals are already logged for today with room for a beer or two if I want.
5/21 181.6 lb Not at all worried. I can think of several possible reasons for the uptick: my TOM is due either today or tomorrow, I need to drink more water, two restaurant meals over the weekend are now showing up on the scale, stress from thinking about our spring concert this Thursday. It's all good. I tracked 12,557 steps yesterday and had 40 oz of water and non-calorie drinks. I had a funny NSV yesterday. I have two pairs of size 16 dress pants that are too big, but I've still been wearing because I don't want to buy new ones for the last few weeks of school. I was playing with my dog in the backyard and they definitely slid off of my bottom as we were running around! Good thing we were in the privacy of the backyard!

Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 - 183lb - after the success of round 76, I let myself have a day of relaxed (but not crazily so) eating before I go hard again this round. Ate over my goal but not more than 1700 calories in total. Back to normal restrictions today!
05/14 - 182lb - sub-goal achieved! Onwards and downwards next sub-goal is 12.5 stone (175lb)!
05/15 - 182lb - made good food choices yesterday, though ate a little later than normal. Looking forward to seeing 12-something (stone) on the scale!
05/16 - 182lb - good food choices yesterday. Still can't go to the gym because of my back but I'm keeping on the food thing! The scales flipped between a couple of numbers so hopefully I'm not far off the next loss!
05/17 - 181lb - bingo! Pretty much same as yesterday, good food choices but no gym. Back is feeling a little better so perhaps next week... Also scale was flipping between 180 and 181 so just maybe...
05/18 - 180lb - hey look at that! Stuck to the food plan yesterday very so very pleased! Also tried some light basic yoga and completely screwed my back up again... Ho hum! But focus on the positives
05/19 - 182lb - totally deserved... Massive salty meal out with friends, beer etc. But its a temporary gain and it'll come off again in a day or two. Onwards and downwards!
05/20 - 182lb made some poor food choices again yesterday, but will be good today! Scale jumped between 181 and 182lb though so that's an improvement. I'd really like to end this round 181 or below.
05/21-181lb and flickering between 180 and 181. Had a good food day yesterday and back seems to be improving a little

Lost down to 180 doing lazy keto last spring, but the summer vacations came and then the holidays
and I put all of the weight back on. I am going to be consistant with tracking my food...good or bad...and
get healthier this year.

05/13 188.8 Not surprised by this gain. Ate tortilla chips for Mother's Day. Oh well, onward and downward.......
05/14 189.8 Uh oh!! I've got to get serious if I don't want to get back into the 90's! There will be a drop tomorrow.
05/15 189.0 Gotta keep it going down! Lot's of water, steps, and no wine today!!!
05/16 188.4 Not sure how I had a drop, because I went out to dinner last night. Had seared tuna and spinach, but also had a few bites of desert and wine.
05/17 188.0 Going to keep the scale going down over the weekend! Goal is to end lower than last round.
05/18 187.8 I thought I would have more of a loss than this. I got 16,000 steps yesterday and was good on my food and water.
05/19 186.6 Went out to eat last night but had my dish without the rice. Got 13,000 steps and lots of water.
05/20 188.0 Don't know what caused that jump. Walked 13,000 steps yesterday and was good with food and water.

05/13- 164.8I indulged in some yummy food for mothers day and Im ok with this.
05/14-164.6 eh 🤷
05/15165 wah wah.... I know this is because I probably doubled my sodium intake last night. But tell me who would say no to roasting hotdogs on the fire with family when its finally nice outside !!! Todays plan... Water water water
05/16-164.6 this is kind of frustrating, but ill keep pressing on.
05/17-163.2 there's the loss i've been waiting for!
05/18-163.2😊
05/19-163 so close! Today might get tricky, fry out at church again.

Boing! I ate properly, so just one of those things. It's a beautiful day here, so I'm going for a long walk and the to the nursery for some new perennials & annuals. I might even do some work later. Yeah!
5/16 - 157
Another beautiful day. I have two meetings today near our beautiful river greenway, so I'm planning to go early to both to walk first. Yeah!
5/17 - 157
Happy to stay steady since we had a potluck last night and I ate well. :-) I have today planned out, and hope to get a long walk in this morning before the next round of rain. Weekend coming!
5/18 - 157.6
There's the potluck. That's ok. Have a lovely weekend, all!
5/19 - 157
Yesterday was hot and gorgeous and I got two nice walks in plus some garden time. Yay! Today is rainy, but that’s ok. Enjoy, all!
5/20 - 160.4
Gaaa. But ok, I did have some snacks & goodies at the social hour yesterday, so some of this is water. But I really have to stop this trend, get back in control, and lose the weight I've regained over the winter and spring. This is no good, and I don't understand why I'm sabotaging myself like this. I see my integrative doctor this morning - following up re. inflammation and vit. levels (both of which are much, much better) - and I'm going to talk to her about it (though she's quite overweight herself - go figure). Anyway, I keep saying "next round I'll do better" and then I don't. Gotta stop making excuses. (OTOH, I can't actually have gained 3.4 pounds in 8 days, so there's that.)

Ending weight round 76 - 143.7
UGW - somewhere in the mid-130's. Will see what's attainable when I get in the 130's
Goal for round 77 - continue the momentum from 76 and end with a loss. I’ve been up and down through the challenges and would like to see a steady decline, no matter how small.
5/13 - 143.5. Got in a 4 mile run and did tons of walking and was on my feet all day. But most of that was at a music festival. Did not hydrate at all, can feel that today (and not from alcohol, only had one beer. Barely drank any water while there). No good food choices so I tried to stick to smaller portions. Got home at 2am so not nearly enough sleep last night. Hopefully won’t let that derail me too much today. All worth it to see Foo Fighters 😊.
5/14 - 143.5. Pretty happy this is the same as yesterday, fully expected a gain. I feel bloated today. Wins yesterday - long walk with dog. Other than that I rested and ate too much. My husband and I both took the day off post-concert so we went out to lunch. Back to tracking, hydrating, and a solid workout today, 8 days left in this challenge to hopefully see a decent loss.
5/15 - 143.7. So surprised it's not higher. Wins yesterday - HIIT class and 2.5 mile walk. Food intake was terrible, I grazed all day long. Super stressed about work stuff (company going through a merger, had several meetings in the morning and my job is looking less and less stable) so I gave in to stress eating. Really need to reign that in today and stay on track for these last 7 days!
5/16 -145.1. Wow. 2 days of stress eating can do a lot of damage. Need to find a better outlet for stress. Work and family stress at the same time - time to pull out my stress management tools and avoid the pantry. Did get a 4 mile run and a 3 mile walk in yesterday but clearly ate too much and didn't drink enough water.
5/17 - 144.0. Much better day. Wins: RPM class and over 4 miles walked. Hydrated well. Ate better - had a little bit of junk at Bunco but was within a deficit. I guess some of that jump in weight was bloat so that helped make a drop for today. Now to work on the weight. 5 more days, if I focus I can do this.
5/18 - 143.1. Back down. Wins yesterday - hydration, 3 mile walk, core circuit, tracked calories and ended in deficit (even with steak for dinner!). Will be outside in the heat all day today and tomorrow. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!!
5/19 - 142.9. Wins yesterday: HIIT class and 2.5 mile walk with dog early morning. Hydrated well because I was outdoors in 92 degree weather all day. Didn’t eat the best but I was still in a deficit. Hard to stay focused when you’re hot and miserable and kind of bored between your kid’s games 😊. Another day of it today, goal is to stay hydrated and in a deficit. And making sure my kid stays well hydrated in this heat too!
5/20 -144.0. UUUGGGGHHH. Yesterday was the perfect storm of my gym rest day so not as much movement, dehydrated I know because of the heat and humidity (thanks, North Carolina weather), and a dinner higher in calories and sodium than I've been having lately. I wasn't necessarily off plan and my calorie count wasn't too high, so I'm hoping it's just those reasons that I'm up again. Weighing daily is a roller coaster!
5/21 - 143.5. Down from yesterday which is great, but annoyed that I'm where I was 9 days ago. I need more discipline! Wins yesterday: 4 mile run, 45 min hot yoga class. snacked a bit too much in the afternoon but had a lighter dinner so I evened out. Attended a visitation for a friend of the family who passed away so was a bit of a stressful day, but I didn't turn to food too much which was a pleasant surprise.

05/13-325.4- I know it’s only .2 up from yesterday and that it’s a normal fluctuation but it doesn’t make me feel better about it. I would love to start a round at or under the previous one.
05/14- 325.2- got married yesterday and went about 700 calories over my allotted, but you don’t get married every day. I expect an uptick in the next couple of days.
05/15- 324.2- lowest weight I’ve seen since starting this! Woo hoo!
05/16 323.8- hoping this isn’t a false low! I went a little overboard on the peanut butter (my biggest weakness) so I’m surprised to see this number!
05/17- 324.2- so it was a false low, but that’s okay! Going to stay on track today!!
05/18 323.8- maybe not a false low after all! Woo!
05/19- 322.6- I went over my calories yesterday, ate poorly, but did yoga... so maybe it all balances out? Here’s hoping!
05/20- 322.4- I was expecting a gain today or yesterday to be a false low, but hey, I’ll take it!!
05/21- 322.0- woo hoo! I had a fairly good day yesterday and kept up on my water. I didn’t get my yoga in, but I will today!

5/18-162-Salty dinner with beers last night....and that was even after I walked 7 miles and cleaned the rain gutters. Oh, well, so what...I am just thankful I am in good enough shape to do all of that. I will head out for a big walk this morning before my quilting class.
5/19-I refused to weigh after poor choices.
5/20-165-Ugh! At least the weekend is over and my goal is to not drink alcohol during the week and eat well. I got a big walk in this morning.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/12 151.2, second day back from vacation. Yesterday was at 153.5 so happy to see some of the weight was water. My TOM is coming this week so just hoping to be back where I was at the end of Round 75
5/13 150.5, another nice drop. This is my first time tracking after a vacation. I’m truly amazed how much sodium is in restaurant food. Only .7 lbs away from where I was before the 10 day trip. I am also encouraged that if you go back to eating right, vacation gain isn’t the end of the world and it’s ok to loosen some of your reins.
5/14 149.3, new low! My TOM will be later this week so I expect a temporary gain over the next few days, but encouraged that I can get to this number again by Sunday.
5/15 149.6
5/16 149.3, have a basketball game tonight but will limit drinks to 1-2 and have a light lunch
5/17 148.4, feeling good going into the weekend. Hoping to see a 148 number (or below) at the end of the round
5/18 149, the weather is going to be terrible over the weekend so have to be creative in getting my steps in. Meals should be good since at least dinner is prepped for the weekend
5/19 148.3, going to a rumble class (a new boxing type studio ) for the first time. I’m really excited, but also nervous since I have never tried this kind of class.
5/20 147.4, the class was good, but really challenging. I’ve been doing a lot of cardio exercises (elliptical and spinning, but not much strength so mountain climbers, burpees, etc are still difficult but easier than ten lbs ago!
5/21 148.3, meals all prepped and planning on doing 70 minutes at gym before I head to Nashville for the holiday. This was a reset round as will be the latter part of next round.

This is going to be a good round, I can feel it! I'm so close to my next goal and to the 180's. This round, I am starting a brand new exercise plan. I'll be training for a 5K! Finally, I've been wanting to do this for awhile and because of the weight I had gained, it was difficult to run for extended periods of time. I want to run the entire 5K, so I found a conservative plan that takes 16 weeks. Let's do this!

Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 - 195.0 (A gain that was expected from the huge brunch to celebrate Mother's Day for my MIL and SIL. I tried to compensate with a healthy dinner of chili chicken kabobs, green beans and rice with some homemade pesto. It's the end of my workout break, so I'm going full swing today!)
05/14 - 193.2 (I'm at my last official Friday weigh in already and its barely Tuesday! I started with a 55 minute TurboFire workout last night and boy am I sore this morning! Especially my back and my thighs/calves...Most likely I'm below this weight because of the soreness and TOM is a couple days late so I'm waiting for that to start. I made some delicious chicken and cheese crepes last night. OMG first time making savory crepes and I'm in love!)
05/15 - 193.2 (Stayed the same! TOM still has not showed up and my soreness was worse than yesterday! I'm sure I will be a higher weight from all that water retention. Yesterday I started my 5K training. The plan I found had me just walk for the first week. I did a nice 25 minute walk around my hilly neighborhood and I worked out my calves even more! I made a delicious potato corn chowder with a dinner roll for dinner last night. It was delicious!)
05/16 - 193.4 (Now that TOM has been 5 days late, I'm not concerned!!
Hopefully it's because of a new workout plan or maybe stress...I'm holding onto weight and TMI have not had a bowel movement since Monday morning. Anyway, last night I did a 55 minute TurboFire workout and I'm still very sore since Monday's workout. I also made some pasta last night for dinner.)
05/17 - 192.8 (Finally back in the 192’s. I’m now on the 6th day of my missed period but finally got the chance to go to the bathroom! I’m hoping it’s because of my increase in intense workouts and how I lost all that weight last week that I gained from my diet break. I’m just going to wait it out. I had chicken stir fry yesterday and did not do a workout last night.)
05/18 - 192.2 (TOM finally arrived last night right before bed 🙄 so annoying being 6 days late! First time it’s that late in 16 years! I had a bean and cheese burrito last night and I did a 30 minute walk. Hopefully next Friday I can make my goal!)
05/19 - 193.8 (I had a good food day yesterday. I ate a sandwich with a serving of chips and didn’t do a workout. Hopefully soon I can start to get closer to my goal.)
05/20 - 195.2 (My hubby's grandmother is in from Philly and there's been tons of food and treats lately. At least I was tracking calories and staying to plan. She also noticed that I lost 27 pounds from the last time I saw her! I did a 30 minute walk yesterday and had some fruit, potatoes and baked French toast for dinner. I'm hoping for a good ending to this round and the TOM weight to start to fall!)
05/21 - 192.6 (Yesterday was such a bad day. I had to leave work early for shortness of breath. I was put on oxygen and given counseling for an anxiety attack linked to my PTSD. What's scary is that I do not know what triggered it. I am having a hard time breathing but doctors won't do anything for me. The closest therapy session for me is in mid-July. I'm hoping these thoughts will all go away )
