12/29 - 174.8
12/30 - 177.6 Lots of cooking and eating with the family for a late Christmas. Entree was ham so retaining lots of water. Looking for a 1-2 lb loss tomorrow if I can stay out of the leftovers and candy still in the house.
12/31 - 176.8 Water weight is leaving but I was unsuccessful in staying out of the leftovers. I will keep trying.
1/1 - 177.2
1/2 - 178.8 I will not give up! Yesterday at home all day with leftovers from Christmas and New Year's celebration was too much.
1/3 - 177.2
1/4 - 175.0 Eating waaaay under calorie limit and bathroom trip yesterday add up to this impressive loss. I don't usually do well on the weekend but I'm feeling very motivated today. I've made a to-do list and eating junk is not on it.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29 – 123.4
12/30 – 124.4 – There is the slight bump I have been expecting. I have been eating horribly, so I have honestly expected more and sooner. TOM is also on its way.
12/31 – 125.0
01/01 – 124.8 – Happy New Year! Still maintaining, but time to do a little more. I need to get back to tracking my calories and some intermittent fasting. Also planning to start jogging again with the goal of a 5k in the coming months.
01/02 – 123.0 – Did good on the calories, eating window from 9-7, but didn’t drink near enough water. I expected a slight drop but am surprised by this much. Jogged/walked 2.16 miles.
01/03 – 123.8 – Calories were good again, a little extra snacking though. Eating window was from 12-8, drank more water but still not enough.
01/04 - 122.8 - Calories good, still not enough water. I was hungry yesterday morning so my eating window was 8-8. Busy day at work and rain all day, so I didn't get any miles in.

12/29 169.4lbs, 36.9%BF; 7h27m/78 - unexpected loss, but I will take it! Had an extra day at the gym last week... I'm sure that helped. And when I was over, it was usually protein & a little fat; kept carbs on lockdown as much as possible.
12/30 169.4lbs, 36.9%BF; 6h9m/64 - not great sleep. Gym this morning and probably a very long day at work ahead.
12/31 168.0lbs, 36.5%BF; 8h22m/89... happy with all of this. Sleep felt wonderful!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29: 173.9 lbs, highest weight ever today. I've gained 30+ pounds in a little over 3 months. I've not been able to work out due to a running injury, which has sent me spirally out of control weigh wise. Time to be accountable again and log and weigh daily to get this under control. I know what to do and how to be successful in losing weight, just have to start. I don't expect a loss for tomorrow but commit to achieving a loss going forward in the days to come. Starting over is hard, but I have done this before, so I know I can do it again. Looking forward to the next 10 days.
12/30: 173.3 Goals for this round are...pre-log daily meals/calories, IF 16/8, little to no alcohol consumption, and get my exercise back on track with yoga and tentatively see if my foot is ready to ease back into running.
12/31: 172.6 Yesterday was partially successfully with logging and eating IF 16/8 but not the best choices with food and went over on calories by having a couple of glasses of wine. Hoping today to get on my treadmill (hate running indoors but it is a snowy icy mess outside) and see how my foot feels. I have a NYE get-together to go to tonight but am thinking I will skip it, as I don't need the temptations of party food/drinks derailing the little progress I have made this week.
01/01: 171.3 Had a very nice NYE, low key with my family and even enjoyed a little cheese & crackers+ Champagne and still had a loss on the scale this morning. Just sticking to 1 meal today as we went out for brunch and I feel so full even though I made smart choices. I've decided to wait 2 more weeks to see how returning to running feels and I got in a good body strength workout instead.
01/02: 172 Slight blip up from yesterday, no real reason for it...could be because yesterday I slept in and weighed later than normal. I'm doing well with IF 16/8, drinking water, limiting alcohol, not eating outside of meals or overeating, & logging but need to be better with my food choices and staying within my allotted calories. Today I have a double workout planned with a total body barre video + the 1st day of the 30 day YWA, HOME practice, looking forward to getting back into daily yoga.
01/03: 170.4 Happy to see this loss on the scale today! Yesterday was all around good, meeting all my daily goals + I meal planned for the next week and shopped for everything. I think an important thing for me, is to be excited for the dinners I am making and not feeling "deprived" there. I have found I am much more in control of the choices I make during the day (when I tend to go off the rails), when I know that I have a great dinner to look forward to. I got in another good workout yesterday too but feeling super sore and then didn't sleep well last night and woke up with a major crick in my neck, hopping today's yoga helps sort these aches out.
01/04: 169.5 Yay! Out of the 170s, and determined to never be there again!!! Food wise everything was on track yesterday + plenty of water and no alcohol. I decided to make it a rest day and skip yoga as I had a lot of muscle aches from returning to working out. Was a good decision, feeling a lot looser today and ready to tackle another tough workout. It's dreary and raining with some icy sleet coming so plan to stay indoors most of the weekend and get all the Christmas decorations taken down and put away. Have a great weekend everyone!

@tinabambina29 Prayers for your dad. Best wishes on your engagement. Friends of ours planned their wedding in 3 weeks. Our pastor friend was moving and they wanted him to officiate. Borrowed gown, simple flowers. You can do it, no need to get stressed.
@jenn990205 I agree on adult kids. They are still our babies. We never stop worrying or taking care of them! Prayers that this will be a more settled year for you!
@xcc670 Since there are no essential carbohydrates, what is “carbohydrate balance?”
I love that we are still picking up Newbies and I welcome you all!4 -
@tinabambina29 Congratulations! Best wishes to both of you! And hoping your dad has a speedy and easy recovery, heart problems are always scary.7

Please join us! Starting on 12/29 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 100
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

NEVER GIVE UP! You can surprise yourself! I have.
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

**********
12/29 122.5 No explanation for this bump unless it was the small bit of baked white potato at lunch yesterday or the little bit of dark chocolate (no sugar) from the night before. May not have had enough water. Low calorie, great macro day so not worried. Woke up at 3:30-the cat was crowding me off the bed.
12/30 122.5 Car woke me at 5, I was super tired so put him in his crate and went back to sleep. (He loves his crate and frequently goes in there to nap) Woke when the alarm went off at 7, got dressed and went to have labs drawn. You all know I’m really NOT a morning person. Going to a friend’s house to sew today so haven’t read all posts but I’m at the top of page 4.
12/31 122.0 I just ate a hearty breakfast - mostly. I’m not a breakfast person but hadn’t eaten since lunch yesterday and was getting the shakes. I had a fried egg with 2 extra yolks and a piece of leftover steak AND a Thomas’ English muffin. DH bought those to have the 2 days we were on the pre-cruise stay-cation. There was one left so I threw it in my bag and kept it refrigerated on the cruise and brought it back home. I grew up eating those and it had been calling to me since we got home 9 days ago. Now it’s gone. My carbs are going to be through the roof but it’s okay. This too shall pass. Looking forward to thee beginning of the new decade A YEAR FROM NOW.
01/01 122.0 Today is round 2 of (only one pan) sticky buns, this one for our cruising pals. I may have to do a round 3 after our neighbor returns from Alaska.
01/02 121.5 I ate no sticky buns yesterday and as a consequence of that, fasted until after 5pm.
01/03 120.5 I again got kicked out and couldn’t get back to the message boards.ARRRGH! My “progress” showed up but my day count was 0. I get the following screen when I try to go to “community.” Tried again and it tells me my session has timed out! Of course I never actually got in but. . .
01/04. 121.0 Today is the 49th birthday of our first born and she and her SO are taking their Westie to cross the rainbow bridge. I’m crying and sure they are too. Please say a prayer for @mbabydoll and Andy.9 -

Got married over the weekend. Thank you for all the well wishes from everyone here and on the R99 board! Learned it's true you don't have time to drink at your own wedding. I didn't log or track or weigh at all over the weekend, so less than half a pound jump from Friday morning is a happy surprise.
12/31 187.8
1/1 188.4
Lots of beer and champagne last night so I guess I'm not all that surprised the scale went up a little. Hoping it's mostly water weight!
1/2 187.6
1/3 DNW
Overslept and completely forgot to weigh myself until I was already at work. Oops.
1/4 188.4
This seems to be the number I can't overcome. Every time I eat something I know will make me bloat a little, 188.4 seems to be where I end up the next morning.

UG: 135.0 (for now, healthy weight for me)
Thanks @GrandmaJackie for getting us started! I've been mia, but have been tracking and I'm jumping back in! I've been following along and keeping up with everyone, but not posting myself. Big congrats to everyone making it through the last few rounds. Whether you gained, stayed stable, or managed to move forward with a loss - that's a big accomplishment! This is an easy time of year to just throw your arms up in defeat - and you stayed the course!
A big welcome to all the newbies jumping in with your goals for the New Year! The first step is the hardest. Just remember, one baby step at a time - and don't tie your success (and self-worth) to a number. Small changes add up, and you've stumbled into an amazing group
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.

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 challenges this round will be finding and getting back to a routine. Life has been quite unfair as we moved into the holidays. My son lost his mother in-law in childbirth on Christmas Eve. She was just 48, and left behind three granddaughters who are devastated and the baby was transferred to NICU 3 hours away. My daughter in-law has been with the baby (who is stable now), and we have been trying to help my son with the girls. Then my mother in-law was admitted on Thursday with complications from pneumonia and passed away on Sunday. That things have been stressful and chaotic, is an understatement.
I am proud of myself for being mindful of my emotional and physical self. It will take a concerted effort to stay the course as our family navigates the changes. I spent some quiet time this morning doing my meal planning. I've also looked at my Round Stats, and see that I stayed stable over the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays - that's huge!

12/29 (S) 145.3 (Trend Weight 144.6)
12/30 (M) 145.5 (Trend Weight 144.7) This is my one year mark for refocusing on my health, and how my eating and exercise plays into that! I am 13 pounds down and 10 pounds away from my UGW. Who'd have ever thought it would be this long and hard?! I am hoping that this is a sign that the loss is not only sustainable, but that the hard fought changes in my habits are becoming ingrained.
12/31 (T) 144.8 (Trend Weight 144.7) Not much to say here that I haven't already said. I am being mindful of my eating, but I need to refocus on fluid intake and exercise. Actually considering investing in a treadmill - this is the first time I have ever felt that I am disciplined enough to use it. I'm watching sales, and sneaking some time in to clear a space for it.
01/01 (W) 144.6 (Trend Weight 144.7) Fixed a Tex-Mex Chicken Soup in the crockpot. Healthy and easy, and should get a couple of days out of it. Son dropped the grandkids off so he could go pick his wife up. Will be a bit of schedule. Again. I have had some water already, though! I need coffee. Not going to be enough coffee in the world today. Lol
01/02 (T) 144.6 (Trend Weight 144.7) Steady. Better than a gain. Grandkids went home last night. We're still off schedule, and I'm still off routine but staying mindful of what I'm eating. I imagine this is going to be the norm until after the funerals. Mother in-law's is Monday. They haven't scheduled the one for my daughter in-law's mother yet (still waiting for autopsy). I've started cleaning and getting ready for influx of family. I have until midnight to decide whether to invest in treadmill (then the coupon expires).
01/03 (F) 144.6 (Trend Weight 144.7) lol 3 days of holding steady. I'll take it. I'm actually surprised I didn't bump up a little. First day in several without the grandkids. I feel asleep early and missed dinner then woke up hungry, so dinner was around 10pm. Late night eating generally reeks havoc with the scale. This was a nice surprise.
01/04 (S) 146.2 (Trend Weight 144.9) Yikes. That's partially the bump I expected yesterday from Thursday's late dinner, and part a comfort food binge yesterday. Need to get back on my plan. A couple of you mentioned Adrienne's 30 day yoga challenge. Sounds like a good way to ease back into exercise. Signed up this morning and watched her intro video and Day 0. Plan to do the Day 1 video this afternoon.

Thank you Jackie. I would love to join your challenge. My name is Dori and I am from Chicago (Oak Park).
My 2020 goal is to continue to learn how to eat and lose wieght. My top weight was 203 pounds and I am now at 183. It has been a challenge and I don't feel I have a handle on the losing weight process.
I am committed to tracking as honestly as I can on MFP. I follow a way of eating (WOE) promoted by Dr. Ludwig. His method involves low/no sugar or other "white" foods. This WOE encouraged me to add more protein and fat to my diet. I eat either fruit or beans at each meal as a carbohydrate balance. Of course, all natural foods, no processed. I am only 5'2" ft tall and am 63 years old and that gives me a challenge.
I have a gym membership and I am working on a fitness program that includes cardio, weights, and swimming. I also walk three miles a day. I am retired so this is not a problem.

I copied yesterdays post and added to it. Is this the best way to record data for the challenge?

@xcc670 I always hit "quote" on my previous post and edit it from there (similar to copying and pasting past entries). Using "quote" allows me to keep my code (for my bold/italic text and spoilers), which copying and pasting doesn't allow. I use my work computer and home computer depending on the day so keeping a spreadsheet isn't ideal for me. If you use the same computer/phone every day, I know some on here will keep a word file or something similar to update and then copy and paste that over. Whichever feels best for you!
Also, I see you're from Chicago! I was born and raised in Michigan City, Indiana. Chicago is practically home for me (I now live in Kansas as the Army brought me here before I retired. Hoping soon to be in Texas but Chicagoland will always have a place in my heart)6 -

29: 197.2
30: 197.5 I installed laminate flooring in my daughter's room yesterday, and I'm kind of sore today. Probably just water weight.
31: 197.5 🥚 More flooring installation yesterday. Still sore. Plus ovulating window. Going out for a nice dinner with my family tonight for New Year's. Reservations are at 4:30 because it's all they had left within my eating window. So, probably will be over calories, but it's an early last meal for me which means longer fasting. May be up a little tomorrow, but I'm not gonna worry about it.
☃️🧣❄️ January ❄️🧣☃️
1: 197.9 🥚 Not too bad considering that I indulged last night. Prime rib, parmesan au gratin potatoes, a glass of Pinot noir, and chocolate lava cake. I ended my eating window at 6 instead of 7 and didn't break fast until about 12:30 today. I'm excited to see what the next drop looks like.
2: DNW - 🥚 left home super early and are before returning home
3: 197.4 🥚
4: 196.0 🥚 There's the expected drop. I'm really enjoying being able to predict these patterns that we learn about ourselves when we weigh daily. This is a new low for me. I think the last time I saw this weight was when I was gaining weight while I was pregnant with my son who turned 15 last month.

There's no such thing as failure; only feedback.11 -
Just seen this thread and it looks awesome- great to keep me accountable- hopefully. Been on MFP for ages, well always had it in the background. 2019 not been a good year weight wise, I’ve put on a shocking amount of weight after otherwise being a healthy (ish) weight for years. Anyway here goes....
Start Weight- 218.8lb
End of 10 day goal- 214lb
Ultimate Goal Weight- 175lb
Day/Weight/Comment
12/29 218.8lb
12/30 217.2lb 😀 (A good start)
12/31 217.0lb Had a very good ‘leg’ session at the gym yesterday and I’m feeling it this morning in my quads and calves. Back to it today, bench pressing and some HiiT on the stepper planner before the New Years Eve festivities. Takeaway has been suggested by family, so I’m going to let myself have it, but make sure it fits within my calorie goal for the day. Oh and 3 weeks into being alcohol free- taking my own AF beer!!
01/01- 219lb Good session at the gym yesterday and thankfully the gym’s open again today. Had a takeaway last night and probably indulged too much in nibbles etc. Stuck to non-alcoholic beer which is a win. I think the salt from the curry and nuts etc are causing this weight retention today. Stuck within my calories- just, yesterday so hopefully this will come off in the next day or so. Plenty of water today and easy on the carbs....
01/02- 216.8lb Stuck to my intentions yesterday. Made a lovely sweet potato and black bean chilli which made several portions 👍🏻. Another gym session today followed by an hour of football training, so plenty of cardio today. Going to have another day of watching carbs closely and drinking loads of fluid in order to flush out any remaining water weight from New Years.
01/03- 216.2 (Moving in the right direction)
Skipped the cardio aspect of the gym yesterday as my legs were in pieces after heavy squats and various isolation exercises. Felt like I could eat everything in sight yesterday- chose healthy (ish) snacks to eat rather than the masses of chocolate my misses has in the cupboard! Plan today is to do a chest session at the gym and stick to my food entered in my diary (I always log the day before).
01/04 216.6lb Not a massive change from yesterday so not bothered by the slight increase. Been much more active today, 5 hours of football coaching followed by an hour at the gym. Did some interval stuff on the elliptical after some deadlifts, strict pressure and other back exercises. Salmon and spinach curry for tea. Would like to reevaluate my 10 day goal to 215lb. Probably a bit optimistic with the original goal- especially with my body getting used to this new workout regime.

Round 100 - Dec. 29 - Jan.7
Glad to be back after a couple of weeks of shingles – so thankful that it has been a very mild case. Round 100 … 1,000 days for some people … plus a new year … a new decade and to top it all off – I finally have my computer cleaned and set up in my new home office!
Female, 5’, 66 years. SW – 165, GW – 164 something, UGW – 140. (This really should be 125 or 130 but that seems like such a long ways to go and 140 would be a huge improvement.)
Goals – finish calorie log each day, 30 min. of movement every day, only yogurt or fruit in the evening and nothing after 9 p.m. I may go to the gym (or not) depending how I feel toward the end.
Day/Weight/Comment
12/29
12/30
12/31 – 165 – I was up higher than this but think if might have been the anti-viral meds I was on. Guess we will see over the next few days.
01/01 – 165.8 – Ham last night, at least I’m hoping it’s water. Planning ham soup for today but will try to keep the salt down. Other goal is to actually track everything instead of guesstimating.
01/02 – 166.6 – I weighed but MFP wouldn’t load for me in the morning and then totally forgot.
01/03 – 166 – After yesterday’s scary number – ham soup was great but too much salt I’m guessing – it’s good to be down a bit. This is shaping up to be quite the year. Oldest grandson gets married in April, babysitting 6 grandkids (one of whom is special needs) in May, and hoping to have our house on the market beginning of June. I think it was the prospect of the last that brought on the shingles. So I’m taking it slow but steady. January I’m painting doors (15) and going through papers & books. Some people love being busy but I tend to panic and eat. So now I’ve mapped out a plan, I’m just focusing doing that and eating right, of course.
01/04 – 166 – LNS a few graham crackers and goji berries. Need to stay away from the computer after 8. Finished first 2 doors.

2020 GOAL WEIGHT: 345
** ROUND 100 **
Round # 27 for me
Goal the next ten days – 80/20 rule:
1.) Be in green on calories – 2/5

3.) Go to bed by 11:30 – 0/5
<<<Round goal weight: 396 >>>
Day/Weight/Comment
01/01 398.8 – Fresh start and never giving up! I am thinking about starting WW again. I just don’t think so. I just think I am going to stick with MFP and my therapist every 2 weeks for now. And really make my health a priority now. Why is this so hard? Why?! Just venting. If any of you have any thoughts on WW positive or negative, please share privately or here. I am a realist, so I do not take any offense just looking for honest feedback and personal experiences whether yours or family and friends. Thanks.
01/02 396.8 (-2.0) – Yesterday was a lazy day. I only ate 2 meals, and both were light and good. No walking. I did some chores around the house. Reflected on my spiritual, health, and financial goals – in that order. Now to put something in writing for spiritual and health goals. Have a great day!
01/03 396.2 (-0.6) – I got in my 6500-step goal and was under calories yesterday. I am not getting the 11:30 bedtime goal so far.
01/04 393.4 (-2.8) – Round goal reached! I guess it was too low, but I wanted to be realistic. I was a little over my calories yesterday and I got in my step goal and a few slow fast walks. I am making sure I log everything. I am going to the movies today. I am taking my own snacks with me. I am eating before and if my friend wants to go for a bite, I am good with movie only. I will decline because I going to visit my Dad. It is really helping me to stop and take a few minutes to read some of the posts here. I will never catch up, but thank you all for being here. It helps! I remember things I stopped doing. Like pre-logging. I used to do that in the mornings. It helps even if I don’t stick to it. I am going to go back to it. Have a great weekend!! :flowerforyou:

Total change this round: (-5.4) (SW 398.8 – GW 396)*One of my major goals is to get my BMI under 40 so I can have surgery on my knees *
My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.

01/02 - 187.5 Having been out of country for almost a month and totally off plan, I came back and wasd actually down to 181. This last two holiday weeks I've been eating with abandon so I'm not surprised at what is likely this water retention hike (plus a few lbs?) I'm hoping/ expecting this to fall quickly. Good to be back!!
01/03 185.6. Ok starting to fall. Didn't eat great, but at least I didn't snack endlessly. Hit 20000 steps by walking to and from work in the cold. Only because i lost my bus pass but still - silver lining.
01/04 186.6 . I dunno. TOM weight?

69 years old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
We used to walk 5 miles a day. A pinched nerve and back surgery side-lined me for about a year. Then I had back surgery. Now I'm waiting to get my hip fixed. Hip Doc said surgery in April. Ugh! I can't do any walking or biking...both kill me. I see my personal trainer three times a week. She is taking it very slow and easy with me.

Thanks @grandmajackie, this challenge is great. First time joining in. I love setting short-term goals and everyone’s posts and successes are so motivating. Two days ago I hit my heaviest weight ever. I’m on my third day of eating healthy and exercising.

01/04 - 180.0 - that dastardly scale - just kidding, expected not to be solidly into the 170's for a few days more at least. I intentionally added more calories yesterday because I was feeling weak physically. I'm proud that I didn't do what the old me would do and binge because I was going over 1200 calories and instead I had 1424 calories. I had pecans and added salt (another goal to reduce since I eat way too much). Best pecans ever - shipped from a farm in Georgia who has no other nuts which is great since I'm severely allergic to peanuts. Enjoy your weekend!

What I did well: Ended 16/8 intermittent fast at 10am this morning for 18 hrs fasting. This works for me because I'm not hungry in the mornings. I can go to bed hungry and wake up not hungry at all and I eat 2 meals the day my fast ends. Waterrower for 30 mins, actual calories (not net) 1197, started new fast at 3:30pm. No sugar. No processed food. 4 vegies.
What I can improve on tomorrow: Eat at least 2 serv fruit, drink more water - only 5 cups today. Add some reps with free weights.
12/30 - 182.7 Yay! Ended Fast of 18 hrs. Too early to doc how today went but I have to say I feel very optimistic. I have never joined an online group before and I can already tell the accountability factor, reading all your posts with how you're doing and seeing your progress is extremely motivating. Additional goals: be able to climb 2 flights of stairs in house without getting winded and not have my bra cut me in half - sorry to the guys on here.
Evening update: Calories 1015 (not net), rowed 30 mins, did some free weight, stopped eating at 4pm, and did NOT eat sugar, which is great considering my cravings are all-in after the holidays - but they are subsiding, thank goodness. What I need to do better tomorrow: did not meet my vegie/fruit goal unless you count white potatoes and onions in a ham casserole as vegies
Got to drink more water too!
12/31 - 180.9, and because i thought something was wrong with my scale
, I weighed again later and it was 181.0 so 5 pounds in 5 days, BUT readying myself if it goes up tomorrow to not get discouraged. I must have had a LOT of water weight after Christmas. I thought it would go up today because I ate bread and potatoes yesterday (but kept calories low and rowed). The bread I eat though is homemade english muffin bread. It's higher in protein because made with bread flour and whole milk - no butter, oil, or eggs and just 63 calories per oz (and so good). 1221 calories. IF 19.5 hrs. I'm going to drink a lot of water today to see if I can keep my weight from shooting up tomorrow. I will enjoy the moment though!
01/01 - 180.6. IF 18 hrs. 1138 calories. Shoveled a foot of snow off my deck - it took me forever but burned calories like crazy and so nice to just be outside. Rowed 10 mins. Today I will eat those 6 vegies/fruit I keep saying I'm going to eat LOL and drink 64oz of water! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE. Here's to a very healthy 2020!
01/02 - 180.1 - 7th day sticking to it! If 17 hrs. I'm thrilled with the scale going down but also know that some of it is water weight from the holidays and know it will slow down and may even go up a little in the days to come. However, what I'm really proud of is that I've stuck with it this first week since for me (and most people I'm sure) the starting, or getting back on it, is the hardest of all. I know I'm going to do it this time! Starting to have health issues and hitting the highest weight by far that I've ever hit freaked me out big time. When I joined this message board, and it was the first time I joined one, I wasn't sure if it would help, but it's really amazing how nice and supportive everyone is and how it really does keep you accountable and motivated.
01/03 - 179.9 - Met 10 day goal - 6 pounds lost since I joined MFP on 12/27/19. Just squeaked it out this morning and finally back into the 170's!! Even if I go back and forth for a few days into 180's again, on this day I hit it and will enjoy it this morning. My goal for the rest of this 10 day period is to be solidly in the 170's to start the next 10 day challenge! Today will be the 7th day I've done intermittent fasting. In some ways, it's just happened naturally because I find when I fast, I start being able to go without eating somewhat easier and not as focused on food. Emphasis on "somewhat" as I'm not there all the way. Never being hungry in the mornings helps. However, last night I was very hungry. My average calories over the last 7 days has been 1163 (not net) with rowing every day but one burning 300 calories. I allow 1500 calories a day so if I go over 1200 I don't get into my old games of OMG I'm over by 1 calorie, I must eat everything in sight and start over, which means I'm going to eat for days as I try to get back on it. I've finally got it through my head that even an 1800 calorie day is better than deciding I blew it because I ate 1400 calories and must eat everything in the house! Another reason IF is good for me is my cravings are horrible in the late afternoon/evening so it's helping me to regain control of that time period. I'm going to up my calories a little and start snowshoeing or walking along with rowing. Challenge coming up: Playoffs and wanting to make all kind of good stuff. I think I'll do baked wings with very little blue cheese dressing! This is going to be a very fun weekend with all the games!!8 -

1/1: 132.8 - happy new year!
1/2: 132.6 - still on task and feeling motivated. Went to the gym this morning and added some more exercises. Back and biceps today. Thinking about adding a couple more days of weight lifting, I'm really liking it.
1/3: 132.2 - woot! Nice to see the hard work paying off on the scale. 45 minutes strength training yesterday, no pickle, still resting my arm. Planning to pickle tomorrow. I think my results are finally showing physically, I'm liking how my clothes are fitting.
1/4: 132.2 - pretty happy to still be seeing this number. We all get the ups and downs and I've been going just down, am expecting the back up to happen any day now. Wouldn't mind if this was my new "high number". Played 3 hours of pickleball in the sun today and loved it. Went for a 20 minute run yesterday, forced myself to do it. I made a commitment to do at least 20 minutes of exercise every day in January.

▪12/29 - 187.4 - 59g carbs.
▪12/30 - 187 - Took the day off from recording in my food diary. I made everything that I ate, but did not feel like putting the recipes for all of it in MFP. I just estimated 2000 calories for the day.
▪12/31 - 187.6 - IF/21hrs. 104g carbs. Meal times~ 4:30, 7pm.
▪1/01 - 191 - Full of TOO MUCH!
IF/16hrs. 87g carbs. Too many days of high calories, high carbs, high sodium the last 2 weeks. I feel hungover and I don't even drink alcohol! Purging until Sunday.
▪1/02 - 187 - 72g carbs. IF/19hrs. Gradually stepping down the carbs this month, then back to 18/6 IF (or 19 or 20😐) and basic keto, 20g total carbs. Considering one weekly 24hr fast. I always have one day during the week that I am just not hungry, so I'll take advantage of it.
▪1/03 - 187 - IF /21.5hrs. 79g carbs. Carbs were lower until I decided to eat half a small grapefruit (16.5g carbs😢) Lol. No more grapefruit. I'll let my DH enjoy them. Today will be close to my target of 20g total. UNLESS, I decide to have a cup of black eye peas (25.5g carbs? hmmm) No.
▪1/04 - 188.8 😕 - IF/19hrs. 30g carbs. I don't know except for a return to exercising.

01/02 181.3 Back on it!! I'm happy that I pretty much maintained over the holidays and while on vacation! I got sooo many steps and watched what I ate for the most part. Although I did have 3-4 days of eating waaaay too much chocolate lol. Now to lose the next 30lbs!! I'd really like to get back into the 170s by the end of this challenge. I'm hoping I have some more water to get rid of too.
01/03 179.2 WHOA!! This means I probably did lose some weight while on vacation and it was just masked by water from the chocolate binge! I can't believe I'm back into the 170s! Now to stay there

01/02 – 174.0 – Back from a lovely few days with my kids and grandkids. I didn’t expect a drop over the holidays, but I’ve been fighting a nasty cold that’s suppressed my appetite, so I guess I shouldn’t really be surprised. Took a rest day and worked on staying hydrated.
01/03 – 172.0 – Slept in and woke up feeling a little dehydrated, so I’m sure this is a false low. Still congested, but otherwise feeling much better, so I got some chores done. Ate most of my calories today, but had too much salt. I’m sure it will take a few days of normal health and good habits to get my electrolytes back in balance.
01/04 – 173.0 – Easy day, although I managed to get a few things done before heading out for burgers and a movie with my husband. Skipped the fries, but candy at the movie put me over my calorie limit. Still managed a small deficit, but I guess my appetite’s back 😉

Day/Weight/Comment
12/28 …..194.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/29 …..190.4 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1156 Calories In / 2432 Calories Out. 12 Net Carbs. 12,362 Total Steps & 5.23 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 14 minutes. I walked at about 3.0 mph for 18 minutes burning 90 calories. It’s a start! Good luck everyone on the monumental 100th round!
12/30 …..190.4 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 998 Calories In / 2236 Calories out. 58 Net Carbs. 8497 Steps & 3.6 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept for 6 hours & 21 minutes. Getting over 5 hours of sleep per night has been a nice trend throughout the last couple of weeks.
12/31 …..191.2 ….. Dang it, Dang it! I had a perfect day, all meals and snacks in line. Even a little bit of exercising in the form of dance. Then….., after I closed out my MFP for the day….., AFTER, I ate my meals & snacks…., I got into the candy dish and ate 9 pieces of mini candy bars (mini 3 muskateers etc.). It totally blew my numbers out of the water. I have went back in today and added it to my log so here are my upgraded numbers, sadly : / 1710 Calories In / 2520 Calories Out. 61 Net Carbs. 13,108 Total Steps & 5.51 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 19 minutes. I danced for 35 minutes burning 212 calories. [color-=crimson]Sample song – “Going Timber” by Pit Bull. A holiday upon us again. I will give it my best shot. January 2nd can’t come quick enough!
01/01 …..189.2 ….. Happy New Year Everyone! Posting late due to starting what will be an incredible amount of paperwork for my business. Quarterly sales tax, Annual Sales tax for 2019 and 2019 Income Taxes. Yesterday was a good day. A little low on calories and a little high on carbs due to spaghetti squash recipe I tried. 675 Calories In / 2634 Calories Out. 30 Net Carbs. 16,099 Total Steps & 6.81 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 17 minutes. I walked in the school for 114 minutes at about 3.0 mph burning 634 calories. Had not walked much for the past three weeks, I could really feel it. Feeling strong!
01/02 …..188.2 ….. Moving back down. I feel committed again. I’m getting my home back to a safe zone and working on getting my son back on the healthy eating and weight loss wagon. He is a 23 year old with Autism and sometimes it is hard to work with him, especially when it comes to food. But with our children, as you know, we never ever give up! Yesterday’s stats: 1145 Calories In / 2752 Calories Out. 60 Net Carbs due to one teeny tiny slice of frozen pizza (from son) when I missed dinner (very long phone call from far-away cousin). 17,628 Total Steps & 7.46 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 30 minutes. I walked twice yesterday. Once for 61 minutes at 2.75 mph burning 276 calories. Once for 30 minutes at 4.25 mph burning 245 calories. Total extra calorie burn 521. I need to be more serious about my water intake.
01/03 …..190.0 ….. Gain is due to a fast & furious eating frenzy after a severe drop in my blood glucose. Blind & frenzied eating which is unfortunate because I know better, but it is the “save myself” instinctive thing to do. Clearly my calories were too low the last couple of days but I was never hungry (intuitive eating?). I’ve got to try to keep my meals steady. I was sick all night. To try to regain my strength today I am going to skip my walk at the school and focus on small but steady activity at home. Over calorie and over carb yesterday. I burned an extra 670 calories walking 119 minutes at 4.25 mph before I became so sick. Taking it easy today.
01/04 …..190.0 …..
01/05 …..xxxxx …..
01/06 …..xxxxx …..
