08/13 …..196.6 …..
08/14 …..197.8 …..
08/15 …..195.4 …..
08/16 …..196.0 ….. My own fault on a busy day yesterday (and today too). Moderate calories & too many carbs. Luckily I burned over 2700 cals, over 15,000 steps & over 6 miles walked. Slept over 6 hours people! Amazing. I walked 131 minutes yesterday & I painted cabins for 102 minutes so the extra calorie burn over my normal work was 1,111. That is all that saved me. Have a good weekend everyone & forgive me for tomorrow as I went to the fish fry tonight. I only ate half a meal but it was still too carby. But we’ll talk about that tomorrow! For now I am still trying to focus on the 10 day goal. 2 pounds, 2 pounds, 2 pounds. I have just one pound to go.
08/17 …..196.2 ….. TMI would help. OMAD yesterday along with a late-night approved snack. I am Proud of my restraint yesterday when out to dinner with a friend. Ate half my fish dinner & brought the other half home to my son. The scale rewarded me with only a small fluctuation which is more likely because of TMI (as quiltingjaine has so aptly named it). Yesterday’s stats: 1235 Calories In / 3188 Calories Out. 88 Net Total Carbs. 21,564 Total Steps & 9.14 Total Miles. 13/13 fitbit Step Hours & I slept 5 hours & 26 minutes & woke up refreshed & feeling great. I did 100 minutes of vigorous yard work, 81 minutes of heavy rigorous tourist cabin cleaning & I walked my neighborhood for 104 minutes moderately briskly including “the hill”. Total extra calorie burn was 1518. A beautiful sunny and warm day in Northern Michigan. Sadly I have a lot of indoor work to do. I hope to get out walking later.

11: 230.7 Day trip across the state today, but I feel pretty confident about managing my food intake and the timing.
12: 231.6 Kept to calories and IF schedule, but had fast food for supper. I couldn't find a decent restaurant easily from the interstate. Then we were just in small towns and reaching the end of my eating window. It's all good though.
13: 231.4
14: 232 Yesterday was a really good day health wise. Anyone else have stalls or gains during ovulation?
15: 232.1 Same deal as yesterday. I have a feeling there will be a nice whoosh before this round is over!
16: 232.5
17: 230.3 And there it is! 229.4 is my goal for this round. I feel more hopeful that I'll actually reach that now.

08/11: 313.4 lbs (-1.3) ... a good way to start out the round! Completed Couch to 5k W1D3 this morning.
08/12: 313.9 lbs (+0.5) … small fluctuation, I’ll attribute to it a bigger dinner last night (steak!), though I was still under my budget. 6 mile bike ride this morning.
08/13: 313.2 lbs (-0.7) … good stuff! That matches my previous low. Letting myself rest a bit today cardio-wise.
08/14: 312.5 lbs (-0.7) … that’s a new low for me, and under my goal for this round… just need to hold onto that loss and not fluctuate up too much in the next six days. Completed Couch to 5k W2D1 this morning. I was very winded by the end of the jogging intervals, but I made it through them! Joined a gym this week and I’m going to check it out and poke at some strength training tonight for the first time.
08/15: 312.3 lbs (-0.2) … continuing my downward trend. It’s been a good week. Didn’t accomplish much at the gym, it was fairly overwhelming - so many machines/devices in there that I don’t have the faintest idea what to do with - so I just walked on the treadmill for a while and watched others. Signed up for 3 personal training sessions to get me started.
08/16: 312.9 lbs (+0.6) … small uptick. Honestly, I expected more than this. I forgot about dinner and didn’t eat until almost 10pm, which definitely showed on the scale this morning. I still have some soreness in my left leg and my stomach felt off this morning, so I decided to push my next run off a day.
08/17: 310.6 lbs (-2.3) … nice! Beat my previous low by 2lbs. Still need to run today, didn’t get to it this morning. Planning to do so this afternoon.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/11 – 132.6 – Went to a birthday party and enjoyed a piece of cake. Following the kids must've helped balance it out.
08/12 – 133.0
08/13 – 132.4 – TOM. Didn’t eat enough calories yesterday and fell asleep early.
08/14 – 132.0 – Most of my calories were at the end of the day yesterday, which isn’t my normal but has happened a couple of times recently. I was having a busy, stressful, not good day. Used to be I would have eaten, instead I didn’t want to eat anything.
08/15 – 132.4
08/16 – 131.6 – Yesterday I scheduled my biometric check (for my employer’s insurance) for 9/11. I am actually kind of excited about it this year. 1-I am finally in a healthy weight range, 2-It is almost 4 weeks away so I am hoping to be in the 120s by then, 3-My fasting glucose was borderline last year, and after having gestational diabetes 3 years ago, I am hoping to see that come back in the normal range.

Sleep 7+ hours every day
3 day juice pressed juice cleanse from Monday-Wednesday to counter the music festival food
08/11 139.5, walked 32,000 steps yesterday during the festival, and woke up thirsty so need to drink more water. Today I’m on one stage mostly so my legs can have a much deserved rest!
08/12 140, had a really fun weekend, but got sunburnt so aloe is my best friend right now. Back to regular eating and exercise.
08/13 139.7, back on my way down. It should be a good day of eating and have a exercise class after work. I have a happy hour with my sorority alum group in the city so going to join for a bit, but will get a club soda since had too much drinking over the weekend and really want a good sleep so can power through the rest of the week and make up for the weekend.
08/14 139.4, busy day at work, but signed up for a spin class with a friend that should hold me accountable. It is harder for me to cancel on a friend at the end of the day, even if I really dislike working out after a long day.
08/15 139.1, almost back to where I was at the end of the last round and hope to see that by Saturday. I have a happy hour tonight at a really nice venue so will save a bulk of my calories for some cheese and wine! Planning on doing 70 minutes at the gym to counter some of the fun I’ll have to tonight
08/16 139, fun night last night but staying home and refraining from drinking this weekend. Glad to be back to where I was at the end of last round.
08/17 138.9, off to the gym for 90 minutes (just elliptical) and then going to finally see spider man before it leaves theaters. Have work to do later tonight so dinner is already prepped at home.

Round 86
Finally back. Got upper dentures on the 12th. Thought I would lose weight because it was hard to eat, but I think I managed to consume more : grimace : and definitely some stress eating leading up to it. Just thankful that I’ve had a partial for years so I know I will adjust over a few weeks. Have to start keeping track of the calories so my weight doesn’t balloon.

08/11 - 131.8 (+0.5lbs) - DOMS from leg day 😓... loads of water retention. I’m sure it will come down in a few days.
🥘 Food was pretty good for most of the day but I did end up eating some sugar last night at a birthday party. I passed on all the alcohol and cake. So even though it’s not as clean as I’m used to, I did really well. That being said.. macros were a bit more off than normal, over on carbs. 😣
🏋🏻♀️ 1hr 5min strength.

🥘 Food was ok, more added sugar than I’d like. I bought protein shakes w/sugar by mistake and will never do that again 🤦🏻♀️ that being the case carbs were higher than I would have liked. Still in a deficit though.

08/14 - 131 (-0.8lbs) -
🥘 Food was pretty good. Still getting rid of those protein shakes with cane sugar 😒 it’s really messing up my macros but I can manage. I was pretty close on macros, still hard to pack in all the protein but I’ll figure it out eventually.
🏋🏻♀️ Day off strength.
🏃🏻♀️ 1hr cardio.
🧘🏻♀️ 30min yoga.
👣 12,995 steps.

🥘 Under cals and macros were super close, just a little over on fat but over all very good day for nutrition.

8/11 - 158.5 - holding steady with very gradual loss. Last day with mom quiltingjaine here. She flies home tomorrow leaving me with a freezer full of keto meals/entrées.
8/12 - 158 - and then the tummy revolted. And then quiltingjaine & I had a carb-full meal before she left to go home. Been eating some emotions today. Tomorrow it’s gym & sun and clean eating.
8/13 - 158 - glucose was up, but the rest of the numbers are good so far. May not get much sun today, but I’ll still hit the gym & watch my mouth!
8/14 - 157.5 - baby steps. Baby steps. Watched my food & got in a good workout yesterday. Rest day so errands today. And preparing for the next major life change - taking the baby to college.
8/15 - 157 - busy day of packing & loading ahead. 3 busy days ahead! I will be getting in my gym time today though.
8/16 - 157.5 - traveling the next few days, so no scale. Have to own my eating.
8/17 - No Scale - move in day at ISU. Blood numbers are good though. No gym, but we’ll be busy all day.7 -

Day/Weight/Comment:
08/11 - 137.4 lbs: I've been off track for a while, just riding it out.
08/12 - 138.0 lbs: TOM finally started, that explains the week of cravings. I think I'm over it. Of course, I start every day strong and sort of go off the rails around 3pm. Need to break that habit!
08/13 - 137.8 lbs: Feeling pretty good about where I'm at today. I did not go off the rails at 3pm yesterday for the first time in a long time, progress! Spent a couple hours cleaning out the garage instead and before I knew it, it was after 5pm. Maybe I just need to distract myself each day around 3pm... Heading out to play some pickleball in a few. Enjoy your day everyone!
08/14 - 137.4 lbs: Back to the start. Been yo-yoing here for a while (looks like 2 months at least) but I think I'm going to get past it, feeling good. Played a bit in the sun yesterday and will play again tonight, making a big salad for dinner. Have a great day, guys!
08/15 - 138.0 lbs: And the yo-yo continues. I ate pretty well yesterday, even had a protein smoothie for dinner after working out. Will just keep on keeping on. I'm in a good frame of mind to stay on track and haven't gained too much during the fall, looking forward to an upcoming loss... I can feel it coming .
08/16 - 137.2 lbs: Yes, finally broke through (and TOM is gone). Taking the day off from working out and plan to do some yard work, house work, organizing, etc. Will be working out a ton over the weekend. It's also usually easier to eat well over the weekend because I'm so busy, looking for a strong finish for this round! Might even reach goal - 4 days to go. Off to work...
08/17 - 137.2 lbs: nice to still be here. Played in the sun 3 hours today. I’m beat and looking forward to doing it again tomorrow. If I can eat well tonight, I think I’ll see it on the scale tomorrow.

08/12
08/13 185.8 Well I'm just gonna jump right in here. It has been a long summer and i'm glad the kids are getting back to school now. I had to have surgery (2x!) for breast cancer and getting started with radiation next week. But overall I managed to maintain my weight and now I'm ready for the scale to start moving downward again. I would like to get close to 170 by the end of the year which might be a bit ambitious but I need my clothes to fit me again and all of my "big" stuff is feeling tight.
08/14 186.8 I'm not sure where this bump came from except that I actually put too much salt in my zoodles last night. Drinking water for sure. Did 45 minutes of hiit at the gym so that was good! Trying to think about how I can eat successfully tonight at the kid's back to school swim pizza party.. I'm bringing watermelon as my side contribution.
08/15 186.4 still hanging here. Radiology appt today was mainly just for informational purposes and appointment setting so I still don't know what my schedule will be with it. Feeling pretty good overall though. My youngest daughter is on the heavy side (she's 11) and we talked a bit about how sugar can cause inflammation in your body, which ended in a challenge for us both to avoid refined sugar until her birthday in 1 month. I am excited to see the changes in both body and awareness this will bring for us both!
08/16 185.0 much better! maybe my goal for this round is still attainable. Off to the gym this morning to get my steps in, with some light weights. I'm not trying to make any gains for the next couple of months but I AM trying to stay in the habit of physically getting to the gym.
08/17 184.8 did some (hot!) gardening this morning, bathed both the dogs, and I'm calling that a work out. Overall a good day, getting ready to send my daughter off to college and I think I'm having a nice gin and tonic tonight. I plan on measuring the drinks so I can accurately log them. No fudging the numbers if I want to stay accountable!

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/11 130.6 Stuck! I was at this weight all last round.
08/12 131.8 Expected this. To get out of my stall, I ate a few hundred 'extra' calories yesterday (kinda- I'm usually a couple hundred under, so I made sure to use them all).
08/13 130.4 Hey there 130-point-something, my old friend, how ya been? Knew I'd see you again.
08/14 130.4 Asking for a friend, does CICO even work for losing the last 5-7 lbs??
08/15 129.6 The 120s!!! Nice to see- very nice- but here's why I'm not too excited about it: I barely ate yesterday! Hey, we can all bust plateaus if we don't even eat a measly 1200 calories, but OBVIOUSLY that's a failing plan. It's honestly a little depressing because I only broke into the 120s after barely eating, so how the heck am I supposed to get there eating normally?!
08/16 130.4 Surprise, I ate yesterday! Like a real, live human! Expected, yet I *was* hoping to see another 129. Even though the difference between yesterday's and today's number isn't even a pound and I look exactly the same, I like the lower number better, ha. It's kind of similar to how when you see something marked $5.99- intellectually, you KNOW it's 6 bucks, yet on some level, you're thinking, awesome, only $5. For me, anyway, my feelings about weight loss aren't always guided by rational thinking. Probably the biggest gift of this challenge beyond losing weight is gaining insights into how I think, which should help me maintain eventually.
08/17 129.2 Oh, the torture of waking up to this weigh-in on a Saturday morning with the entire weekend stretching before me! And we're having fried catfish sandwiches tonight. I'll log the best I can and try to stay within calories.

Hi everyone. Glad to see everyone back again for another round and that we have so many new people joining. Last round I finally got into a new decade (139.6) but messed up right away and killed that weight,lol. Stress got me for a couple of days so I am back at it again and will try to get back down.
Round 83: 146.3 - 145.9 Avg 146.72
Round 84: 145.9 - 143.7 Avg 144.28
Round 85: 143.7 - 139.6 Avg 142.35
08/11 - 141.5 up a bit today, not unexpected. Got into a bit of an argument with my husband last night and ate my emotions today. Men just drive me crazy with how simple they think sometimes, at least that is the way husband is. I crave carbs and comfort food when I am upset, so I consoled myself with them. We have been married so many years we hardly ever argue and when we do we make up fairly quickly, but he just makes me so angry sometimes. Uugghhh
08/12 - 145.0 so here is the rest of my emotional eating on Saturday and I was horrible yesterday. Of course we have already made up, but then he took me to lunch to apologize and I had 2 bloody Mary's so the sodium and carbs are through the roof right now. Water, water, and water today to get me back down. 5.4 pounds from Saturday morning to Monday morning is such a bummer. I have been doing this long enough to know not to freak out though and within a couple of days I will be back down. One weekend of emotional eating and drinking and this is what happens. I have to learn how to deal with things a little better I think, lol.
08/13 - 145.0 I am thinking this is all hormonal. I have been extremely sensitive and moody the last couple of days. I also wanted salt/sour things all weekend and couldn't satisfy my cravings. There is no reason for my weight to be this high and still be up other than stupid hormones. I know when just looking at my husband annoys me that there is something else going on. I am actually feeling a bit better today and can see how crazy I have been the last couple of days. I should have known when the scale jumped up almost 6 pounds over night and has stayed there something else is influencing it. Hopefully by Thursday or Friday I will be back to normal. Just have to stay the course at this point.
08/14 - 142.7 back down and feeling back to "normal". I am not mad at the world anymore, lol, and can actually think straight again. I love being a woman sometimes! Hopefully I will be back down to my 140/141 tomorrow and be able to hold steady there the rest of the round. I have 1 more round after this one to try and get into the next decade and stabilize before birthdays, vacation, and 3 day weekends take over for a month. The end of August and first half of September are going to be challenging, but I think I am up for it.
08/15 - 142.7 same as yesterday which is good, because I was not great last night. 3 beers, a half a piece of lasagna, and a garlic knot for dinner. Thankfully I started with a huge salad and I had only had 300 calories all day before that. It was so nice outside last night my husband and I sat out in the back yard and just enjoyed the evening. That's where my 3 beers came in, lol. Oh well, hopefully I can keep it together this weekend because I haven't accomplished much this week. I am still up about 3lbs from the ending of the last round, so if I can get rid of at least 1 more pound I will be happy. These last 5-7 pounds are really stubborn.
08/16 - 142.7 I have not been on track all week. I craved carbs and fast food all day yesterday and ate them. I don't know what is going on with me, but all I can do is keep going. I have planned today, so I should stay on track. My 2nd youngest is turning 14 on Sunday and we are having his party tomorrow. Will try to make good choices and if I can hold steady through the weekend then I can start fresh on Monday. All I can say is that at least I am not gaining anymore. I am still up about 3 pounds from the ending of the last round, so my work will be cut out for me in the next round for sure!
08/17 - 142.1 having my sons 14th bday party today and hoping to stay on track. Was great until I got home last night and had a couple of beers again. The weather is so nice and it’s killing me, lol. Monday I am back on track and getting rid of these last couple of pounds.

08/11 - 207.6! Wow! Haven't seen a drop like this in a while. Very happy! Hoping I can maintain but probably wont tomorrow, cheated a little today on my macros but stuck to my calories. Had a special occasion today, so not holding the macro cheat against myself. Will do better with macros and exercise for the rest of the week though! Until then, grateful for the loss I had today
08/12 - 207.8! Up a little but so happy to see this number on the scale. Trying to do a good job of sticking to keto. Today is the first day of my fourth week and the first time I'm struggling with cravings. I just want a sandwich! Grr... Maybe it's a side effect of resisting so many temptations this weekend. Trying to stick to my macros and calories and to continue resisting. I'll try to find something keto friendly to scratch this itch so I dont obsess over cravings. Doing a youtube hiit workout today, love them
08/13 - 207.2! Back to my lowest weight in two years 🤩 frustrating how much easier it is to stick to diet and exercise goals when the scale shows progress, but awareness of this type of thing is the first step to changing. Still, I'm very motivated to stick to food and exercise goals today. Made an epic fresh tomato sauce w lean ground beef and zoodles. Excited to have it again for lunch today
08/14 - 208.6... *sigh* literally for the entire month of August, my weight has been bouncing up and down 1.5 lbs. Gotta keep working hard to get it back down low. I hope I can push through this plateau soon. It's been exactly two weeks of the same yo-yo despite strictly following keto. Will try not to let this bring me down. Had a good workout with my personal trainer today and will stick to calories/macros and hope for the vest tomorrow.
08/15 - 207.8! And back down goes the yo-yo... Had a good day yesterday, hoping for a other one today. Will probably make today a rest day bc I am so sore from yesterday, but will fit in some gentle yoga to stretch and work hard to stick to macros today. Gotta work hard to hopefully end this weight flux and keep pushing onwards and downwards
08/16 - 206.2!!! Wow, what a drop. So so happy but also nervous this is just a fluke and I'm about to fluctuate right back up tomorrow. Fingers crossed... In the meantime, sticking to my macros and exercising and hoping to maintain this loss through tomorrow and beyond
08/17 - 206.6! Up a little bit but not in the 207 or 208 range like I expected! Super happy 😊 stuck to keto and spent the whole day walking around. Was super hard because I was at a festival where all the food was fried, but I managed to resist temptation! Hoping to keep this new 206 development for weigh in tomorrow

08/11 130 Only a small bounce up. Considering a few extra carbs yesterday, this isn't surprising. Hopefully todays carbs and slackardly behavior don't do me in for tomorrow.
08/12 130 Had an easy day yesterday. I only got in 7,000 steps. I did take a 30 minute hilly walk and do 10 minutes of hula hooping. Happy that the number didn't go up. It's been a really looonggggg week. A week ago Friday I had a breast biopsy and last Tuesday I got the results that it is invasive lobular carcinoma. So far, I don't have any details other than a diagnosis. I'll meet with the team of doctors this Wednesday and find out prognosis and treatment options. Wednesday seems REALLLLY far away still (although my son starts school Tuesday and that seems really soon!) The good news is that this cancer is really hard to detect and I'm pretty sure that they are thinking it is really small still. Waiting is just so hard! Luckily, too, my good habits have been pretty much sticking with me.
08/13 129 That was a nice thing to see this morning! Yesterday I did a strength class, zumba, and a short walk. Only had one cookie and half a scone along with the healthy stuff.
08/14 130 Meeting with the docs today.
08/15 130 I managed to deal ok with food and stress yesterday. We met with the doc team yesterday(surgeon, medical oncologist, radiology oncologist, 3 residents and a med student and a nurse practitioner all crammed into a regular patient room!) They confirmed that they think the cancer is small and stage 1 with no lymph involvement, but because cancer is present at one biopsy site, and pre-cancer at the other two, the solution is mastectomy (or double mastectomy). I still need to meet with genetics doctors and plastic surgeon(s) (I guess there WAS a limit to how many people fit in the room!) before the surgery is scheduled. I am trying to deal with the inability to plan anything until the dates are set and meanwhile trying to distract myself with long walks and lots of zumba. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!
08/16 130 Interesting. My weight is NEVER this level.
08/17 131 Went to the improv last night. I had a glass of wine and then we went out for a late dinner and I had half of a gyro sandwich and half of a falafel sandwich. Not surprised to be up with late dinner and carbs! I was pretty much at calories, so it should go away.

10th round for me. The start will be a challenge as we have one last trip with family to the mountains before school starts! Will take my road bike and hopefully will keep active or use the fitness center if there is a chance!

- start doing pushups
Day/Weight/Comment
08/11 130.6 Well I expected that after a record 3 pound loss at the end of last round that my weight would go back up - expect that a large part of that drop was water weight from being out in the sun/heat the last 3 days. Ended up with less exercise yesterday, but quads and right ankle definitely needed a rest. Was doing fine on food and even managed to fit in a tablespoon size scoop of homemade garlic ice cream, but DH opened a bag of fake fritos late last night after watching a movie, so yesterday ended up being sort of a cheat day - I definitely need one now and then and probably was under calories if I ate back exercise calories. Anyway expect the weight will stabilize over the next 10 days if I can keep up activity and log food while out of town. NSVs: MFP prediction for today was 133.5, so clearly under that and still tracking a 1.2 lb loss over 7 days and 5 for 30 days! Also while packing for trip to mountains, found a small black sleeveless silk dress in my closet that fits perfectly! Goal is to stay active on trip to the mountains and wear it out for dinner!
08/12 OoT
08/13 OoT
08/14 OoT

08/16 OoT Back home. Was able to have some leisurely activity during trip, but not sure if it was enough to offset all the wonderful meals. Will weigh in tomorrow am! At this point would be happy to break even for the round!
08/17 131.5 Well so far not breaking even for the round. But only a 0.9 increase while on vacation which is within the range of daily variability with changes in water weight/food retention etc, so not going to worry about the gain, but will focus on the few days left of this round. I have to remember that it it took me 12 years to get to my peak weight, and if I am consistent I can take it off within 12 months! Hit cardio hard this morning with a spin class and then some ab work later so getting back on track for exercise and will see what the scale says tomorrow!

Just got back from vacation. I am very frustrated with myself. I barely ate some days and over ate others. I have gained 8lbs and weigh more then I did when I first joined MFP. I will join the next 10 day group once this one has ended.10

Ready for my round 23
OSW 88KG
RSW 66.5 kg (-21.5 kg)
Goal... Less than I started
I gained last round and I have more vacations this round so I need to focus.
08/11 65.9 kg and now to get back to my holiday maintenance of 65. Preferably before Thursday when I have 2 more nights away and little control over food available.
08/12 65.05kg so pretty much back at my holiday maintenance.
08/13 65.1kg and keeping it good. Not expecting to lose until I go home next round. Maintenance is fine for the holiday.
08/14 65.05 maintaining. Got another mini break coming up tomorrow and then back to lake house on Saturday
08/15 64.9 kg...... A loss! I'm away for the next 2 nights including wedding anniversary tomorrow. I'll be as good as I can be with little control over the food available.
08/16 DNW as away
08/17 DNW as away
08/18 65.6kg which is pretty good as I didn't keep an eye on calories just kept Keto. Stayed at an off-grid organic permaculture place and ate the best salad ever! Also drank some wine for the 1st time this year to celebrate anniversary.
There were monkeys in my garden this morning which is not common!

Sorry guys, I've been missing this last week or so, spending so many hours at the hospital with my Dad & caring for him with his dementia whilst he recovers from his hip operation after his fall 2 weeks ago just overtook everything else. But he is back in the care home now and the pressure is less so I'm back! Thank you all for your best wishes, prayers & thoughts, they are much appreciated.. I've continued to weigh daily and kept up my walking to and from the hospital. Will try to catch up on everyone's posts.

RND#86GW: 195.5
Goal: Improve Sleep - duration of 7hrs and score above 80.
8/11 200.9 lbs 6h18m/79/11:38pm - blew my calories on Friday night, so this isn't unexpected. It's also not permanent. Look out, One-derland, your girl is coming for ya....
8/12 199.7 lbs 6h4m/80/10:51pm BUSY day, but had good energy throughout. Back below 200 and sleep score at 80, so I'm starting my Monday right.
8/13 199.0 lbs 5h47m/73/10:52pm Sleep still not optimal, and feeling sore & run down. Pleased with the continued losses on the scale, tho.
8/14 200.5 lbs 4h39m/70/11:16pm So sore - muscles probably retaining water - and my feet & ankles are a little swollen; wish I'd been able to get to Zumba last night. Busy day at work, tho... will get to Combat tonight. Not sweating the gain today. We'll see again tomorrow.
8/15 199.9 lbs 4h51m/69/10:38pm Combat last night - dragging my way through it. Feeling completely worn down & mood is suffering, too. Not making goal this round.....
8/16 199.9 lbs 7h34m/91/9:42pm Five more nights of sleep like this and I think I'll feel pretty good! Had a difficult day... was over-emotional and blew out my calories. Hope today gets me back on track.
8/17 200.5 lbs 7h13m/86/11:08pm Not unexpected after Thursday's calorie blow out, but good to have slept well. Hoping to clear the funk today - another concert tonight, so I have to bank cals & carbs.
8/18 200.3 lbs 6h13m/73/12:53am Way over cals yesterday, so this was unexpected. Gonna kill it in combat today and try to rectify the slide.
