Day/Weight/Comment
12/19: 218.6 (-0.8)/18.3 (-0.1). I've been sick for the past couple of days. If I could keep up being sick for about a month, I think I'd hit my goal weight! I'm feeling better today, so I'll just keep chugging along and doing this the old-fashioned way. I probably won't get to the gym until Friday (still feeling a bit under the weather).
12/20: 219.2 (+0.6)/18.4 (+0.1). Two things - first, I need to cross a premade meal that I like a lot off my list. My wife doesn't really like it, and I have trouble saving any of it (splitting it for dinner and then lunch). It's the devil, and we need to part ways. Lastly, my gas got shut off yesterday (long story, but apparently they can't transfer the autopayment from my previous location to my house, even though they're the same company). So I was cold. I think I wanted to use this as an excuse for eating all of my lovely premade dinner, but I have to call BS on myself. That dinner has to go!

I want to take a hot minute here to first thank @GrandmaJackie, and to share some observations as I start my 5th round.
I participate in a couple of different challenges. By far, this one is the most insightful. I've spent a lot of time in those other challenges trying to figure out what was going on with my results. A daily scale capture and a few words about what is going on around that number here is invaluable.
I have saved a little index of my last post in each round, and I can go back and look for patterns.
We put a lot of emotional and physical focus, effort, and energy into this. Changing habits is hard work. Have to remember to live life, learn to cope with stressors, and deal with the unexpected. We are tracking numbers that are just a single marker, and tend to get wound up when they don't match the effort.
In doing that, we sometimes overlook the real successes and how much progress we are actually making - and, sometimes, what the ultimate goal is. Sure. There's a number involved. But there's usually some other motivation. How much progress towards that we are actually making is the true measure of success.
For me? I'm at a number below the weight that triggers my hyatial hernia. It's winter, it's cold and damp, and I have only had a couple of days that I needed Aleeve for my knees vs daily last year this time. I was edging towards high cholesterol last year. This year I'm back in a normal range. I have not yet been hit with a cold or upper respiratory infection. I feel better and have more energy. My ultimate goal may be represented by a number, but it is ultimately about being healthier, avoiding pain from thehyatial hernia, and increasing joint strength and flexibility to prevent injury (and recover better in the event of one). Yes. I'm down a size. But I am well on my way to the overall goals.
And, back to the point, when I get frustrated with my progress (or lack thereof), I can go back to my daily notes in these rounds and they reassure me that all is well.
@LisaW57 I find your words to be great gifts. Merry Christmas to you too!4 -
I don’t have access to a gym for weights but I want to strengthen my core and be ready to weight lift again one day when I can go to the gym again. I need to research a routine for exercises to improve my overall health...suggestions for exercises?

Bodyweight training might be a good option. No equipment required. Here's a website I have really liked. He does a really good job explaining a basic routine, as well as progressions of each exercise.

12/19 133.8 – 15.09 miles walked yesterday plus 60 mins yoga, all macros well in green.
12/20 134.6 – 2.43 miles only walked yesterday, very sore today due to a combination of back bends at yoga on Wednesday & soft play with my two toddler grand children yesterday lol!! Bad day eating yesterday.
12/21 135.6 – 4.14 miles walked yesterday – rain !! A big late xmas meal out last night ate late & not healthy!! Why can you put on a pound a day, but never lose a pound a day? One more celebration (tonight) and then no more until xmas day itself so 3 days to try to pull back before then!! But you know what, Christmas comes just once a year and then I can get right back on the horse !!

I have already hit my 2019 goal. The trick now is to stay there as I travel through the minefield of December. 😂
I need this more than ever now that I am in maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

Round 98 EW: 147.4
==============================
19/12: 147.8: Goals 🎄 The temptations at these festive social events are hard to resist. There is bound to be a bounce up in consequence. No more now until family arrives on Christmas Eve, so will be taking remedial action until then.
20/12: 149.2: Goals 🎄 This is why monitoring my weight is so important. Despite choosing small tasters, and seeming to be being under goal each day, 4 days of festive social gatherings this week have created an inevitable rise. It's so difficult to log accurately that which others have provided.
21/12: 149.4: Goals All my groups have now stopped for the holiday. Hopefully, weight will go back down before Christmas, as I have no more social events in the offing. This has still been the best I have done at this time of the year for many decades, so I’m over the moon!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Bodyweight training might be a good option. No equipment required. Here's a website I have really liked. He does a really good job explaining a basic routine, as well as progressions of each exercise.

Would also recommend Darebee.com for downloadable workouts sheets
And fitnessblender for videos on YouTube

Day/Weight/Comment
12/19: 276.4 (-2 lbs) I wasn't expecting to lose any weight, (just stay the same) I'm surprised that I did. Happy with the result,
12/20: 276.2 (-2oz) Ate a little to much yesterday, and didn't meet my goal to stay at or under calorie amount for the day. I still lost 2 ozs. Much better then gaining, will try to do better today. Be more mindful of what goes into my mouth.
12/21: 275 (-1.2 lbs) I did have some sugar cookies that were given to me, but I try to include whatever I eat into my daily calories and try to stay under. Which I managed to do yesterday. I try to keep my meals healthy, and be mindful of what I eat most days. Happy to have lost more weight. I try to stay under what MFP sets for me.

Goals for this round,. Stay hydrated (I don't drink enough), work on finding a workout routine that suits me. Eating at or below my daily calorie allotment.
Still working on my goals, and trying to figure out my exercise routine there are certain things I can't do at this time. I'll do my best to get in shape and be healthy..8 -
Back for Round 99
Female / Age 62 / 5'2"
OW: 158.5 (12/30/18)
UG: 135.0 (for now, healthy weight for me)
Intro:Let me introduce myself. I struggled with my weight as a teen, topping out at nearly 200. I dropped it after high school and got to a healthy weight. Every major life changed has brought weight back on - having kids, pre-menopause, menopause, family tragedy, post menopause. I've knocked it back down each time, and have been surprised that each time required a different strategy, and resulted in a different type of lifestyle change to maintain. Each time as been much harder and slower. At this point, it's moving off at a snail's pace.
Motivation. I have a hyatial hernia. It does not bother me as long as I keep the weight at 150 or below. Every female on my mother's side has had arthritic knees, and I'm starting to feel twinges. They have also sustained falls and broken bones. My husband had a major health scare a coupe of years ago. The idea of being put out of commission by a preventable injury or illness scares the bejimminies out of me.
Goals. The goals at this stage are to drop weight to a healthy range, realign my eating style to a lifestyle that will keep me healthy into my golden years, and strengthen the muscles that support my knees, ankles, and shoulders, along with my core, to prevent injury.
Dropping weight post menopausal has been so difficult, I need this to be the last time. 10-15 pounds used to be easy to drop, so that was always my warning bell to focus. Not so much now. Looks like a 3-5 pound fluctuation will be it.
A healthy weight for me is 135-140. I've always looked anorexic at 120. We'll see how things are at 135, and go from there.
Round StatsR95: SW 146.3 GW 146.0 EW 145.3 Results -1.0 loss
R96: SW 145.3 GW 144.0 EW 145.0 Results - 0.3 loss
R97: SW 145.0 GW 144.0 EW 143.8 Results - 1.2 loss
R98: SW 143.8 GW 142.8 EW 145.3 Results - 1.5 gain
Strategy: Up the hydrating foods. Fruit with breakfast. Salad/veggies as bulk of lunch. Healthy dinner. Limit/eliminate processed carbs and sugars. Zero calorie intake after 8pm. Strength exercises 3 days on/1 day rest. Regular movement through day to compensate for desk job.
R99 Challenges: My biggest challenge this round is setting a goal. I'd like to show below R98's SW of 143.8 to overcome the spike, but not sure that is realistic with the holiday looming on Day 7. Christmas dinner will be ham, and that will undoubtedly show up with a sodium bloat. Honestly, if I can hold steady, I will be happy. I guess the real goal is to continue to increase the amount of plant based hydration in my diet and get back to my workout schedule to gain as much ground as I can, then stay focused post-holiday.
R99 SW: 145.3
R99 GW: 144.3
12/19 (T) 144.2 (Trend Weight 144.8) Here we go with a little whoosh. That will help. Again, not doing anything different from last week - just watching normal fluctuations and trying to take it all in stride.
12/20 (F) 145.2 (Trend Weight 144.8) Didn't cook Thursday night. Ordered in. This is deep fried mushrooms and about 2/3 of a small steak & cheese.
12/21 (S) 144.7 (Trend Weight 144.8) Back on track. Made a wonderful beef stew with lots of root veggies yesterday. Plenty left over for dinner tonight!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/19/19 - 175
So so day yesterday, including Thai frestaurant for lunch with friend, so sodium galore. Of course there are several holiday events coming up the next week, so as long as I don’t gain anymore before the end of the month I’ll be ok.
12/20/19 - 176
Salt. I ate out twice yesterday and Thai food the day before. Not too overboard on calories, but lots of sodium — I feel parched and puffy! Nothing scheduled today or tomorrow so I’ll aim low. And it’s supposed to get up into the 50s today, so I’m going to squeeze in a nice walk! Have a beautiful weekend, all!
12/21/19 - 174.4
That’s a little better. I don’t feel so bloated — more water, less salt! I am planning to bake this afternoon but will try to leave the taste testing to my skinny DH. I’m also determined to stay away from malls the next 7 days! Good luck to those of you who still have shopping to do. Enjoy the weekend. Happy Solstice! ❄️🌞🌬⛸🛷☀️❄️

My goal this round is not to bounce up too much from all the holiday food. I’m continuing my diet break until the 1st.
12/19 263.2 No idea where this came from. I’m thinking that as tom has left so has some water weight. I’m sure I’ll bounce all over this round.
12/20 DNW I’m getting a new scale today, even with new batteries, in the same location as always, it cannot give myself or my husband a solid weight.
12/21 265.0 I forgot to pick up the new scale yesterday, but I’m going out later today or tomorrow and will pick it up then. On the plus side I managed to get a solid weigh in today. My kids want to make sugar cookies and the recipe makes a lot of cookies. I’ve decided that I’ll divide up the dough so that we can make a few cookies over several nights instead of having a whole bunch that are gone in a day.
