2/03 Goal: 248 / Actual: 244.4 / -37.6 Over All / -15.6 for the Challenge. 4 Workouts Achieved & 2 PT sessions. A little more movement in the neck. Swinging a golf club not so good, need to strengthen lower back.
2/10 Goal: 246 / Actual: 238.6 / -43.4 Over All / -21.4 for the Challenge. 4 Workouts Achieved & 2 PT sessions. Neck getting a little better. Golf swing with weighted training club seems a little better. Maybe ready to hit a few balls on the range.
2/17 Goal: 244 / Actual: 234.8 / -47.2 Over All / -25.2 for the Challenge. Fun Week but a tough one on the diet. 2 Days in the Bahamas… Stone Crab Claws & Mustard Sauce & Conch Salad! And 2 days out of town with family. Worked hard this weekend to get back under last week’s weight and actually lost a few pounds. Managed to get in 4 workouts & 1 PT session. 230 in my sights!
2/24 Goal: 242 / Actual: 237.8 / -44.2 Over All / -22.2 for the Challenge. I think my body finally caught up with what is going on and put the brakes on the weight loss. Gave back a few pounds this week. That’s okay, Hopefully it is muscle and I am still under my Weekly Goal. Eating Healthy and Working Out but I Need to fine tune my calorie intake and get back to logging in food daily.
3/02 Goal: 240 / Actual: 237.6 / -44.4 Over All / -22.4 for the Challenge. Hope everyone had a great week! I’ve been eating healthy and exercising but still stuck at 237-238. Going to have to really watch my daily calorie intake and cut back on portions some. Still under weekly goal weight so that is a positive.
3/09 Goal: 238 / Actual: 236.8 / -45.2 Over All / -23.2 for the Challenge. Hello All. Hope you had a good week. It has been a battle for me. My body is not making it easy for me. Finally got my neck feeling better and now I’m having issues with my middle and lower back. Workouts haven’t had the intensity I would like. Still managed to lose a pound and stayed under weekly goal weight.
3/16 Goal: 236 / Actual: 235.2 / -46.8 Over All / -24.8 for the Challenge / -1.6 this week. Had a good start to the week but was out of town Thursday, Friday and Saturday and ate out a lot and missed a few workouts. Got back on track Saturday night and Sunday to get back under my weekly goal.
3/23 Goal: 234 / Actual: 237.4 / -44.6 Over All / -22.6 for the Challenge / +2.2 this week. Good news / Bad News… Good news: I was able to play 2 rounds of golf and my neck and back are doing well. Bad news: (other than the world shutting down for Corona Virus) I was out of town for a couple days and ate out and take out and I gained a couple pounds back and I am above my weekly goal weight for the first time since I started November 1st. Doesn’t help that my gyms (even the community gym at my complex) are closed. Really need to bear down and stick to healthy eating and get my exercise in this week and get back on track with weekly weight goal! No Excuses!
3/30 Goal: 232 / Actual: 234.4 / -47.6 Over All / -25.6 for the Challenge / -3.0 this week. Hope everyone is staying safe and virus free. Even more reason to eat healthy and get your vitamins and minerals in and keep your immune system strong. Tried to keep from splurging this week and was able to get 3 pounds back. Need to get some good cardio in this week and get back to my weekly goal weight.

My DIL just texted me this~
Doctors are reporting they now understand the behavior of the COVID 19 virus due to autopsies that they have carried out. This virus is characterized by obstructing respiratory pathways with thick mucus that solidifies and blocks the airways and lungs. So they have discovered that in order to apply a medicine you have to open and unblock these airways so that the treatment can be used to take effect however all of this takes a number of days. Their recommendations for what you can do to safeguard yourself are ...
1) Drink lots of hot liquids - coffees, soups, teas, warm water. In addition take a sip of warm water every 20 minutes bc this keeps your mouth moist and washes any of the virus that’s entered your mouth into your stomach where your gastric juices will neutralize it before it can get to the lungs.
2) Gargle with an antiseptic and warm water like vinegar or salt or lemon every day if possible
3) The virus attaches itself to hair and clothes. And detergent or soap kills it but you must take bath or shower when you get in from the street. Avoid sitting down in your home and go straight to the shower. If you cannot wash your clothes daily, hang them in sunlight which also helps to neutralize the virus
4) Wash metallic surfaces very carefully bc the virus can stay viable on these for up to 9 days. Take note and be vigilant about touching hand rails, door knobs, etc. and keep these clean in home home
5) Don’t smoke
6) Wash your hands every 20 minutes with any soap that foams and do this for 20 seconds
7) Eat fruits and vegetables. Try to elevate your zinc levelS
8)Animals do not spread the virus to people. Its a person to person transmission.
9)Try to avoid getting the common flu as this already weakens your system and try to avoid eating and drinking any cold things.
10) If you feel any discomfort in your throat or a sore throat coming on, attack it immediately using the above methods. The virus enters the system through the throat but will sit in the throat for 3-4 days before it passes into your lungs.
In addition ...
Experts suggest doing this simple verification every morning: Breathe in deeply and hold your breath for 10 seconds. If this can be done without coughing, without difficulty, this shows that there is no fibrosis in the lungs, indicating the absence of infection. It is recommended to do this control every morning to help detect infection.

STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP (MY FITNESS PAL): 253 on January 11, 2018
CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT: 191.8
Jan. 6: 191.8 A nice small overnight drop. I need better choices & more water.
Jan. 13: 195.4 I am really fighting severe glucose drops & frenzied eating to bring it back up. Horrid! Until my blood sugar stabilizes, I can't begin to set each month's goal. I will get there....
Jan. 20: 189.7 Its been a week of blood glucose highs and lows. Slowly I am re-adjusting my body to my original meal plan & exercise goals. Each day finds me feeling a bit better and closer to better numbers all around. It’s nice to see this drop. It was done slowly, a little everyday for the most part.
Jan. 27: 190.0 I made goal right on target but with a severe struggle due to the glucose issues. I am still actively work hard on that and hope I can get it resolved soon.
Jan. 31: 191.6 I’m not ending this month very well. It will be a catchup game in February.
January Goal: 190.0
January Actual: 191.6
Feb 1: 191.6
Feb. 3: 192.6 Superbowl Carbs. Was mindful of the snacks but there was pasta.
Feb. 10: 193.1 Was trying a new experiment. It’s clearly not working for me. I think I just confused my mind AND my body!
Feb. 17: 194.8 Yucky!
Feb. 24: 195.5 Up, then moving back down. I am tweaking my carbs to under 50 and my cals to under 1400. I think this is the best spot for those severe glucose problems I’ve been having. Next week’s weigh-in should tell much.
Feb. 29: 198.6 Out last night with a friend. I only ate half and boxed the rest for my son. But carbs are carbs and they are still my enemy.
February Goal: 184.0
February Actual: 198.6
Mar. 1: 199.8 A new month, a new start, a new me! Let’s go everybody!
Mar. 2: 201.6 Emergency travel yesterday. Limited movement and food choices. Back home today and motivated!
Mar. 9: 200.2 Better.
Mar. 16: 200.7 Things are getting very rough here in Michigan in regards to the Coronavirus. I’ve got to stop stress eating and grazing!
Mar. 23: 201.7 Our state is now on lockdown. Only allowed out for essentials such as grocery/pharmance. All non-essential businesses are closed until further notice including all manufacturing.
Mar. 30: 203.5 Failing miserably. I hate to blame it on this virus, but not being able to get out for my long daily walk and being here near the fridge is playing havoc on every single one of my weaknesses. I’ve got to get my *kitten* together!

Okay back to address this.
Today my family is home and I took time to go over these 10 points. I asked my DIL where she got this from. She says she "honestly" doesn't remember where she got it from. A side eye from me on that one, anytime someone says honestly in this situation.
1. Drinking warm water is beneficial as it hydrates better than cold water. Hot lemon water helps with digestion.
2. Gargling with warm water and a little salt helps ease a sore throat.
3. The virus attaching to hair and clothing. Maybe. If it's true than I should have been ill weeks ago.
4. Virus viable on metallic surfaces up to 9 days. Could be, just keep things clean.
5. Don't smoke. Yeah✔ don't. Bad for your health anyway worse if you have pneumonia.
6. Wash hands every 20 minutes. That is excessive. Just wash your hands often.
7. Eating fruits and vegetables is a healthy thing to do, but not going to keep you from contracting this virus.
8. Animals (I assume this means pets) do not spread the virus. I don't think that is definitive yet, but keep loving up your pet. I would not allow face licking though and wash your hands after petting.
9. This one is laughable to me. Avoid getting the flu. You can't avoid the flu, not even with a flu shot. I've had the flu 3 times, twice as an adult, once after a flu shot. /Avoid eating and drinking anything cold. Are you going to stop eating ice cream or having a cold drink?
10. I don't know about the virus sitting in your throat for 3-4 days if you refer to number 1 and believe that.
This breath holding test. Just don't do it. Fibrosis can only be detected by CT scan.

It is recommended to do this control every morning to help detect infection

Today my family is home and I took time to go over these 10 points. I asked my DIL where she got this from. She says she "honestly" doesn't remember where she got it from. A side eye from me on that one, anytime someone says honestly in this situation.

Thank you for this follow up. I was struggling with how to respectfully suggest that nobody follow the guidance, that it was a bunch of bunk, and that folks shouldn't trust medical advice from the interwebs. Please keep up with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The message is straightforward and simple.- Wash your hands. Soap destroys the lipid coating of the virus; water washes it away.
- Don't cough on anyone.
- Keep physically separate from one another. Two meters is suggested, but even half that can help. More can't hurt.
- If you have symptoms, don't go out. IF YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS, STAY AT HOME.
- Limit your contact with others.
- Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands
- Most important, WASH YOUR HANDS.
We could get deeper into this, but mostly keeping your hands clean will not only reduce the spread of this virus but other diseases too.
Stay healthy, and let's get to that goal weight!4 -
STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP (MY FITNESS PAL): 253 on January 11, 2018
CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT: 191.8
Jan. 6: 191.8 A nice small overnight drop. I need better choices & more water.
Jan. 13: 195.4 I am really fighting severe glucose drops & frenzied eating to bring it back up. Horrid! Until my blood sugar stabilizes, I can't begin to set each month's goal. I will get there....
Jan. 20: 189.7 Its been a week of blood glucose highs and lows. Slowly I am re-adjusting my body to my original meal plan & exercise goals. Each day finds me feeling a bit better and closer to better numbers all around. It’s nice to see this drop. It was done slowly, a little everyday for the most part.
Jan. 27: 190.0 I made goal right on target but with a severe struggle due to the glucose issues. I am still actively work hard on that and hope I can get it resolved soon.
Jan. 31: 191.6 I’m not ending this month very well. It will be a catchup game in February.
January Goal: 190.0
January Actual: 191.6
Feb 1: 191.6
Feb. 3: 192.6 Superbowl Carbs. Was mindful of the snacks but there was pasta.
Feb. 10: 193.1 Was trying a new experiment. It’s clearly not working for me. I think I just confused my mind AND my body!
Feb. 17: 194.8 Yucky!
Feb. 24: 195.5 Up, then moving back down. I am tweaking my carbs to under 50 and my cals to under 1400. I think this is the best spot for those severe glucose problems I’ve been having. Next week’s weigh-in should tell much.
Feb. 29: 198.6 Out last night with a friend. I only ate half and boxed the rest for my son. But carbs are carbs and they are still my enemy.
February Goal: 184.0
February Actual: 198.6
Mar. 1: 199.8 A new month, a new start, a new me! Let’s go everybody!
Mar. 2: 201.6 Emergency travel yesterday. Limited movement and food choices. Back home today and motivated!
Mar. 9: 200.2 Better.
Mar. 16: 200.7 Things are getting very rough here in Michigan in regards to the Coronavirus. I’ve got to stop stress eating and grazing!
Mar. 23: 201.7 Our state is now on lockdown. Only allowed out for essentials such as grocery/pharmance. All non-essential businesses are closed until further notice including all manufacturing.
Mar. 30: 203.5 Failing miserably. I hate to blame it on this virus, but not being able to get out for my long daily walk and being here near the fridge is playing havoc on every single one of my weaknesses. I’ve got to get my *kitten* together!
Mar. 31: 203.5 boy oh boy. Did I EVER fall short of goal. It’s time to get serious.

I had stopped posting to this thread at the end of winter and the beginning of spring, but I'm still following your progress. Keep up the good work!
My progress took a hiccup lately. March was a gain month for me, but not intentionally. I ended winter just about two pounds heavier than I started it. Most of that gain was in March. I am still within my goal range, but don't like seeing the slow increase, so I'll be stopping it.
Rather than bore you with more words, here's a thousand of them; a picture from beginning of winter to current:

STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP (MY FITNESS PAL): 187 lbs Aug., 2019
CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT: 172.4 lbs (I weigh in every Fri ~ longtime habit ~ so I will be posting twice a week.)
Jan. 6: OK. Here we go...Fri Jan 3 ~ weighed in @ 171.2 ~ I'm really hoping that this time my "plateau" is finally OVER!! I just have 1or2 questions: Why, oh WHY do cough drops have to have calories?! 💔 And if I cough my head off for a week, does that count as exercise?? 😷😜😂 ...MON JAN 6 ~ 172.6 lbs. I must be holding water or something cuz even tho' I've been sick & not working out very much, I have been VERY CAREFUL about weighing everything I eat. At this point I am *this close* to giving up. 😥
I found this link via one of my email newsletters ~ good advice for yours truly here...
https://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/motivation_articles.asp?id=1951&utm_source=sparkpeople&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=best-of-sparkpeople&utm_content=F1
Jan. 13: Fri Jan 10 ~ 171.6 lbs ~ OK...I'm not gonna say any more. I don't wanna "jinx it." 😜 ...MON JAN 13 171.6 lbs ~ one comment: "thank God it's not a gain" ...that's all I was worried about; starting today, finally back to workouts!!
Jan. 20: Fri Jan 17 ~ 171.2 lbs ~ back to where I was, at least! not bad...not great...but not bad! I'll just pick it up from here, I guess! Mon Jan 20 ~ 171.2 lbs !!! 😂 no loss, no gain. no loss, no win. LOL ...not bad after 2 birthday parties AND...a get-together @ my bro's house!! I'm actually kinda proud of myself this morning! 😜
Jan. 27: Fri Jan 24 ~ 169.8 lbs! YESSSS!!!! 😂 ...MON Jan 27 ~ 169.8 lbs *again, same as FRI's update...but as long as I did NOT gain, I'm good with it. And...updating my measurements, I have LOST a total of 3.5" overall since November. I only wish I had measured myself when I first started back in August...but as my BMI has also gone DOWN a grand total of 2.9 since the beginning, I think I can safely say I'm gonna be just fine!! hehehe ........
JUST ONE LAST WEIGH-IN for Jan ~ Fri Jan 31 weighed in @ 168.8 lbs ~ I guess I'll say that I very nearly made my goal here, only .8 lbs above what I aimed for! (This may very well be the BEST I've done yet! 😉)
January Goal: 168 lbs
January Actual: 168.8 lbs
Feb. 3: 170.4 lbs ~ 😫 ~ This is a no-brainer...traveling out-of-state to visit relatives, eating unfamiliar food late at night with people who don't always weigh/measure (I'm used to no later than 6pm), no chance to work out, no place to put my feet up & now my ankles are swollen again...it all adds up, doesn't it?! 😥 Well...as they say, today is a NEW DAY!!! hehehe... Fri Feb 7 ~ 170.6 lbs ~ ouch! not as bad as I feared, but not as good as I would have hoped, either...When I get home next week I will be sure to be VERY watchful...I need to make that goal by the end of Spring! *wanna get back down to 135 lbs by the end of this journey....* 🙏....
Feb. 10: 170.2 lbs ~ back down!
...Fri Feb 14 ~ 169.8 lbs ~ back home now, back to strict program...over the whole "stomach thing" & actually ate a complete meal for lunch lol ...let's see how this weekend plays out, shall we? Birthday for 9yo grandson on Sunday, BE CAREFUL with cupcakes & ice cream...
Feb. 17: 168 lbs! Well, that's surprising...but not. I am finally back on track here. But I am updating my Feb goal to reflect what is possible in the next 2 weeks...maybe I will get past that, eh?! ...Fri Feb 21 ~ 169.6 lbs ~ huh. interesting, not sure how but.... 😩 ...
Feb. 24: 167.8 lbs ~ *whew!* ...much better than I had feared...I do NOT wanna give up frequent family gatherings, no matter the food served...I love my family! so, there's THAT. 😉 hehehe... Fri Feb 28 ~ 167.6 lbs a little less lost than I expected but I'll take any loss here; I'll see what Monday brings! (feeling hopeful)
February Goal: 166 lbs *update*
February Actual: 167.6 lbs
Mar. 06: 166.6 lbs (going back to FRIDAY-only weigh-ins!!)
Mar. 13: 167.2 lbs ~ Well that's what I get for going over my cal. limit 2 days in a row & not getting any work-out times in nearly all week!! new resolution here..... 🤞...
Mar. 20: 165.2 lbs ~ signs of HOPE HERE!
Mar. 27: 166.4 lbs

Original starting weight (March 2013) - 175.4
Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
December 21, 2019 starting weight - 144.2 (ten-day rolling average 144.6)
Ultimate goal - Maintain around 143 (range between 140 - 150)
I have been in maintenance since mid-2018. When you get to your goal, you'll see that maintenance is still a challenge. I have mostly stayed within my goal range, but have bounced around a bit.
Winter Begins:
Dec. 21: 144.2 (10-day average 144.6)
Dec. 28: 144.6 (10-day average 145.0)
JANUARY:
Dec. 31: 146.4 (10-day average 145.2)
Jan. 4: 144.8 (10-day average 145.3)
Jan. 11: 143.6 (10-day average 144.4)
Jan. 18: 139.8 (10-day average 143.5)
Jan. 25: 144.2 (10-day average 142.7)
Jan. 31: 144.8 (10-day average 144.6)
January Goal: 143
January Actual: By scale, depending which day you look at, I either gained an insignificant 0.2 pounds or lost almost a pound. By average weight, I'm down a little bit. I had a Bagel Disaster a week ago and had a weight spike that I'm finally getting over. Whew. I am optimistic I can stay at my long term goal of 143 with small fluctuations.
FEBRUARY:
Feb. 1: 143.4 (10-day average 144.5)
Feb. 8: 142.8 (10-day average 144.5)
Feb. 15: 145.8 (10-day average 144.0)
Feb. 22: Away from scale
Feb. 28: Away from scale
Mar. 2: Back from vacation and... 144.0 (I don't trust the ten day average since I have been gone ten days and it would calculate from the nine days before I left, but it would be 144.3)
February Goal: Stay at my long term goal of 143 with small fluctuations.
February Actual: Coming back from vacation, I expected to gain more, so I'm fine with where I am; on to ultimate goal again!
MARCH:
Mar 2: 144.0 (10-day average 144.3)
Mar 7: 143.8 (10-day average 143.7)
Mar 14: 146.2 (10-day average 145.2)
Mar 21: (Winter ends March 19 at 20:49 Pacific Standard Time): 147.0 (10-day average 146.7)
Mar 28: 143.8 (10-day average 146.3)
Mar 31: 146.6 (10-day average 146.2)
March Goal: Stay at my long term goal of 143 with small fluctuations.
March Actual: March hasn't been good to me - ended the month up 2.5 pounds. At least I stayed in my maintenance range.
APRIL:
Apr 4: 146.0 (10-day average 146.0)
April Goal: Same as all the other months: Stay at my long term goal of 143 with small fluctuations.
April Actual: The future will reveal itself eventually. Still stress eating, but at least it's mostly healthy foods. I sill need to be mindful of that and CUT IT OUT. My weight has stabilized, but it's a few pounds heavier than ideal.
Challenge Weight loss goal: Range between 142-148
Actual Weight loss for the challenge: My average weight is up about two pounds from the beginning of the challenge. Not what I expected. I am still in my maintenance range -- just not by as much as I prefer. Not sure if this means I was successful or not :frown: However, the fact that I never had even one day when scale was out of maintenance range, maybe it IS still successful even though I'm still trying to get those same damn few pounds back off to get to my ideal goal.
I posted a three-month graph last week, so I'll skip that today. Maybe in a couple weeks I'll post a year's worth of data. It's kind of interesting, and I hope it tells a better story in a few weeks.3 -

2/24 Goal: 242 / Actual: 237.8 / -44.2 Over All / -22.2 for the Challenge. I think my body finally caught up with what is going on and put the brakes on the weight loss. Gave back a few pounds this week. That’s okay, Hopefully it is muscle and I am still under my Weekly Goal. Eating Healthy and Working Out but I Need to fine tune my calorie intake and get back to logging in food daily.
3/02 Goal: 240 / Actual: 237.6 / -44.4 Over All / -22.4 for the Challenge. Hope everyone had a great week! I’ve been eating healthy and exercising but still stuck at 237-238. Going to have to really watch my daily calorie intake and cut back on portions some. Still under weekly goal weight so that is a positive.
3/09 Goal: 238 / Actual: 236.8 / -45.2 Over All / -23.2 for the Challenge. Hello All. Hope you had a good week. It has been a battle for me. My body is not making it easy for me. Finally got my neck feeling better and now I’m having issues with my middle and lower back. Workouts haven’t had the intensity I would like. Still managed to lose a pound and stayed under weekly goal weight.

Bad news: (other than the world shutting down for Corona Virus) I was out of town for a couple days and ate out and take out and I gained a couple pounds back and I am above my weekly goal weight for the first time since I started November 1st. Doesn’t help that my gyms (even the community gym at my complex) are closed. Really need to bear down and stick to healthy eating and get my exercise in this week and get back on track with weekly weight goal! No Excuses!

Things will get better! It has definitely been a challenge to stay active since everything is shut down. I was able to get in a 7 mile run and a 22 mile bike ride to get in some cardio. Doing some stretching and core exercises and practicing the golf swing at home.
