Round 104 (26 for me)
The 2020 leg of this journey got off to a slow start. Finally saw a loss in the last round after two rounds of gains. Patience and perspective: If I lose an average of two pounds per month, I can reach my goal weight by the end of the year. Just got to keep on keepin’ on.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 – 171.4 – Busy day, with a great gym session. Had company over for drinks and dinner. Eyeballed my portions and didn’t log, but I didn’t overdo it and only had one cocktail.
02/08 – 171.0 – Back down a bit to start the day, but dinner out put me over my calorie budget for the day. A bit sore from yesterday’s gym session, but today was a rest day. Hope to get out to walk tomorrow.
02/09 – 172.0 – Up today, but not surprised. Didn’t make it out to walk, but I got a lot of work done online this morning. Made Korean short ribs with lots of salty sides, I’ll probably see another sodium spike tomorrow, but the meal made my husband very happy, so it was totally worth it. Didn’t bother to log, but I’ll be back on track tomorrow.
02/11 – 172.0 – All goals met. (Forgot to post.)
02/12 – 170.6 – Nice to be back down. Rainy day, so I walked the indoor track for an hour between classes. Met my calorie and hydration goals. Chores tomorrow.

Ready for round 104 {41st for me}
OSW 88KG
RSW 59.90 kg (-28.1 kg) or {- 62 lbs}
Goal....stay under 60kg...a month of maintenance.
02/07 58.85kg much more where I want to be. Need to keep low calories to save some for tasting a variety of international dishes on Sat
02/08 58.35kg a new low which is ironic as I decided this was to be a month of maintenance! I have an international food event tonight which I will keep keto but not worry about calories.
02/09 59.5kg I caved and ate carbs... The bloat is real
02/10 60kg and hoping that's the end of the carb bloat.
02/11 60.05kg all green yesterday so this should start going down soon. Gym done
02/12 58.95kg wasn't hungry last night so I didn't have dinner. Gym done and ready for the rest of the day!

Hi. My name is Trina.
Hoping to end my frustrating stretch and start making progress back down to where I was before the holidays. Good news is that I've been doing this long enough that I'm not ready to throw in the towel and I figure it has to work at some point. Bad news is I've been doing everything right for 3 weeks and not made any progress on getting below what I thought was a temporary bump up. I'll hang in if you all hang in!

Day/Weight/Comment:
RSW 140.5
02/07 - 140.5 At least it isn't up. Low cals yesterday to make up for the day before....plus wasn't too hungry. A bit irritated not to see more friendlies on the scale!
02/08 - 140.0 Still on track. Still irritated. Lots of movement yesterday, big deficit.
02/09 - 138.5 Happy to see this number and trying not to get to excited. I deserve it...but that doesn't mean it will stick around.
02/10 - 139.5 Yup. Scale is up (to it's old antics.)
02/11 -141.5 Stress eating yesterday. I failed to breathe adequately yesterday during radiation, or the computer failed, but one way or another they sent me home without radiation. This potentially throws a wrench in the spring break plans as I won't finish til Monday during spring break. My lovely 17 year old son was so sweet. He definitely thought my health should come first and that skipping the last treatment would be pretty dang stupid.

Female age 61 5' 4”
Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
This round goal to just lose - aim to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking & refrain from attacking the cookie jar and left over Christmas chocolates – plan is to put them in DH lunch box each day 'til they're gone!! - there are still residual bits hanging around hubby will have finished them by end of this week!End of round 69 134.2 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 135.2 – Only 3.14 miles walked, one reason for the increase & I did over indulge yesterday. Today Is a new day!
02/08 135.8 – sigh !! 9.66 miles walked yesterday. Calories exceeded by 306 – I hit the chocolate, must leave it alone!!
02/09 DNW – away from home helping our DD & SIL move house, DD had been readmitted to hospital following contracting an infection (sepsis) after giving birth to our delightful new grandson 2 weeks ago. Luckily, she reported her raised temperature to her midwife after 24 hours and so taken back into hospital, administered IV antibiotics until the sample of her blood was used to culture the bacteria to enable the lab to produce a personally tailored cocktail of antibiotics for her. She was again discharged yesterday and the spring in her step is returning. Thank goodness it was caught early. So she was encouraged to keep her feet up whilst the rest of us did the work!! We stayed in a local Travelodge, so no weigh in this am.
02/10 135.8 – only 1.94 miles walked yesterday
. Need to get back at it today.
02/11 135.4 – 9.58 miles walked yesterday, a good day ; 887 calories under & all macros in green. It makes so much difference when I get my walking in !
02/12 135.4 – 10.06 miles walked yesterday, 592 calories in credit and all other macros in green.

Goals
1 - Track my calories daily
2 - Gym x2 week
3 - Water 1.5l
This round I'd like to start getting back on track with exercise. I'm still getting these weird migraines which don't seem to be alleviating so I'll have to get used to some form of exercise with them.
02/06 - 149.2 round start weight
02/07 - 150.8 (+1.4) 1200 cal, 4.424 steps, I was expecting this after a late dinner even though I was just at my calorie limit. . Unfortunately, I didn't get my steps in as I was in my car most of the day. I've changed my goal for this round to get under 150.x which seems more realistic. For the weekend this time I've also planned a lot of activities to get me out of the house and away from the fridge
02/08 150.8
02/09 150.8
02/10 150.8
02/11 150.8 Still no change weight wise which is not so bad considering my weekend, my daughter has the flu so the last few days have been a bit hectic. I did squeeze in an hour at the gym on Sunday and I tried a YouTube kettle bell workout yesterday (so much harder than it looks!!).
02/12 150.8 (0.0) 1189 cal, 4576 steps. still status quo, who knows, on track for the food and calorie intake, water was good but not enough steps as driving everywhere to save on time and get everything done between juggling work and sick kid. I haven't had a good night for 4 nights in a run and I'm starting to feel it, I'm doing my best to resist the sweets and processed carbs

02/07 - 170.9 Boys went to bed an hour later than normal and I didn't have the motivation after to go to the gym unfortunately.
02/08 - 170.0 Gathered the motivation to go to the gym even after a long day of training at work. The scale messed around in the 169's before settling at 170 even. Finger's crossed I break into the 160's tomorrow!
02/09 - 170.6 Well, I let myself cheat a little too much yesterday. I'm surprised this is all the gain I had since yesterday. I'll probably see the consequences of last night on my scale tomorrow too ...
02/10 - 170.0 Awesome! No more self-sabotaging.
02/11 - 169.5 Finally broke into the 160's!!
02/12 - 169.8 Well, I self-sabotaged yesterday. Too much pizza at a Survivor lunch party. Thankful to still be in the 160's. I hope I can keep this for the rest of the round!

02/08163.0 lbs
02/09 163.8 lbs. This is day three of major back pain and in order to medicate every three hours for some pain relief, I had to give up on intermittent fasting and my calorie goal was more like 1200 to 1500 the last couple days instead of 900 for loss. Plus only about 4000 steps a day. Thus the increase. Today it's a little better going to try to medicate less so I can meet a calorie goal of 1200 or less but steps are still going to be limited.
02/10 164 lbs Back is better but not great. around 1200 calories but only got 5500 steps in. Managed IF for 16 hours. Going to force the walking even with the shooting pain down my leg. I have babied it all weekend and it has made no difference. This is so discouraging. Obviously if I can't move than I can't eat.
02/11162.8 lbs I didn't medicate and calories were 808. Steps 12,800. Enough of this gaining business. Back is allowing more mobility, doesn't like sitting, so I worked on sandwiching my grandson's quilt together. Thankful our table is at bar height table so not much bending. I am going to work on hand quilting it as long as my back can take it.

02/07 - 147.9, SW
02/08 - 147.9, have a birthday / retirement / bon voyage party tonight. Plan to park myself across the room from the food but sometimes best laid plans fail. Fingerscrossed
02/09 - 147.7, well apparently I survived the party we'll see if I can keep it up for the rest of the week.
02/10 - 148.0, maybe a delayed reaction from Saturday night. :-( Back to work and the regular eating / exercise routine so hopefully that will help.
02/11 - 148.0
02/12 - 147.1, a little better today. For some reason it's been difficult at work this week, I keep prowling the office looking for the community candy dishes. Will try to stay away from those today.

10 day goal: Lose 2-3 lbs and keep sodium and sugar intake under control
Looking forward to more changes this round! I have adjusted goals since I didn’t meet all of goals in Round 103. Regardless, I am ready again for the journey.
Feb 7: 197.8 Wow! Didn’t expect that, although I finished up my period and had a good day keeping under sodium intake. I hope the rest of the challenge goes well!
Feb. 8: 199.1 Overindulged some chocolate! Thankfully, I am still in the 190s.
Feb. 9
Feb. 10: 199.9 Didn’t feel well the day before yesterday, so I didn’t weigh in. I think I need to up my water intake again.

02/10 - 149.3

02/12 - 146.4 - This is not accurate, though I rather like seeing the number. Its a new low, even if its a false low. I definitely forgot to eat last night. I was trying to pack what I could (they said 3-6 weeks once I accept and we'd work that date out once I start the admin stuff like background check and drug testing). I wasn't even hungry, I was just drinking my water like normal while I buzzed around my house gathering unnecessary things to pack away. Once I realized it, it was about 20 minutes before I put myself to bed and said it wasn't worth it to eat right then and face a potential tummy ache. So I had a little treat this morning so I didn't zombie until lunch. I'll resume 8hr eating window tomorrow and eat lunch/dinner as normal today. I'll call today my "feasting" day since I get to eat all day. With that, I expect a bounce up tomorrow and I'll be perfectly okay with it. Lunch and dinner planned out with leftover chicken and rice soup that finally thawed. Have a protein shake for a snack for extra protein and satiation.

02/16 - Act: Trend:
Previous Day's Comments02/07 - It always makes me a bit nervous when I start a round down. The way I bounce around (and I seem to be doing that between 148.x and 149.x -- another stuck point similar to 154.x-155.x) I am scared if I start low, I'll end higher and have a gain for the round instead of a loss. Although that's okay, especially if its only small, it still messes with my head and gets me down a bit. I'm finally getting into a good mindset and down want to ruin that. I made crock pot 3-bean chili last night. First time ever making chili! We shall see how it is when it comes time to break my fast. I'm suuuuuper hungry this morning but I just brewed my coffee and hopefully that will get me through until its time to eat. I have to take my car in..again.. more $$ into this stupid thing.. only bought it for $4600 w/ tax and depending on how much today's work cost, I've invested ~$2200 in work over the last 3 weeks. Its kinda stressing me out (read: stress eating temptations) but I know if I get this job, I'll be needing a car good on gas that's reliable. And if I don't move before spring break, I'll have to have a safe car to take BF's kids down to him for spring break for all of us! Just have to survive the temptations of being in town. Especially since I'm planning on stopping at the store (amazing ad this week -- valentine's day meat deal and I need to stock up - haven't gone grocery shopping in about a month) before I head home so I don't have to waste time and gas going into town
02/08 - Was NOT expecting this. I went out to dinner last night with a friend and dinner was late, it was at a restaurant (hello, sodium!) and I had a beer (they're a taphouse, they make their own beers in the back of the restaurant and I was curious). But I will certainly take it! Gonna work on some glutes today (at home banded workouts and probably yoga) as I haven't been glute-focused and that is something my surgeon and physical therapist pushed hard for (my glutes/hips out of whack = back pain at fusion and puts me at risk for faster deterioration above it [where I already have deterioration -- don't want to speed up that process and require another fusion!]). Going to go get my lunch ready here in a bit. Going to cut my fast short as dinner was so late but I'm quite hungry. I still made it over 12 hours so I'm still getting the benefits of fasting and I'm making a conscious decision -- still working on not mindlessly eating but I'm making definite improvements! Also, would like to say that today marks 1 week since my last cigarette! BF is also trying to quit and even though we are in separate states, if he isn't smoking, I'm not. Its been so hard to quit since everyone around me smokes and I always get dragged in by those around me (I smell it, I see it, I crave it). But since we both gave up, last weekend when I saw him neither of us gave in (we are the only 2 in that friend group that used to) and I haven't spent time with my neighbor (who also said she wants to quit but its been super hard for her for the same reasons) I've been able to stay away. Saves money and my body! I still feel the hand-to-mouth motion craving but BF told me if I just push on my lips with my fingers, it helps. So far, it hasn't been perfect, but its worked well enough that I've stuck to it.
02/09 - I had a higher calorie day. Very calorie dense foods all day. I need to find a way to get more protein in without getting sick of it. I had a protein shake last night and pushed me into much higher calories so I'm quite surprised I'm not up much more than this. I like that a couple of lovely people are pushing for a 100g protein goal daily and I think I'd like to try 75g for awhile to get used to it before upping it to 100g, and then to 125g (which is a current calculated goal based on my weight -- it may change and I'll do that as I get closer to comfortable with the intake). Another lazy day before a full week of work (I really love having Fridays off, just wish it was every Friday haha)
02/10 - Late heavy dinner. It was spaghetti, but definitely ate quite late compared to normal and had more calories/sodium than I needed (but I was super hungry by that point). Boss is coming in today and he forgets to eat sometimes which means I don't get to eat at our normal lunch time due to us working together. I'd rather have a late heavy dinner and just fast longer today since it works out anyway. I'm sure this will drop off fairly quickly, especially since I can tell I'm just heavy and bloated. Started my BF trend yesterday -- I'm heavier today than I was yesterday but my body fat percentage went down today by 3%...this is why I never use the scan part of my scale. BUT this is simply to start the trend so I can report it at the beginning and end, not paying attention to the daily numbers. I wouldn't have been able to do that prior to this group as those crazy numbers would've spiraled me down and caused me to stress/emotional eat or start a crazy unhealthy diet. I'm not sure if the trend will work at all since these numbers seem so far off from my last bodpod scan (I have higher BF now than I did at 160 when I did the bodpod and yet physically, I look like I have less fat). Wish I could get another bodpod (free through the army) but not sure if they will allow veterans or if its only active duty.. I might have to check on that. Oh well, I won't know if the trending with my scale scan will work until I try it so I will give it a shot. If nothing else, I'll just have to go based on how I look/feel.
02/11 - And dropped back down like I expected it would (though shocked it dropped that low that quickly). I was so bloated (like a hard-belly bloat, not a soft fluffy bloat) last night. I did some yoga (YWA - Winter Blues and Digestion/When You Eat Too Much). Not sure how much it helped with the belly, but it definitely helped with my mental state surrounding it. I think its because I went carb-heavy last night since the chicken&rice soup wasn't thawed out by dinner (batch cooked a few weeks ago, froze half) and I only had ramen or mac and cheese available (everything else is frozen). I did have a halo orange for "dessert" and it was amazing. I'm back to being stuck on stupid when it comes to those! Better than a processed sweet treat, plus I can eat 1 or 2 and be content so portions aren't an issue. Either way, whatever I did, worked. It helped that I ate heavier/larger meal/snack at lunch and went lighter with just the ramen and halo orange for dinner. Wasn't super hungry after that, thankfully. Here's to another good day! Side note: I realized today I have to really pay attention how I place my feet on my scale. I didn't have my heel fully on the scan portion and I got 40% BF! I readjusted, did it again with my feet properly placed and I was at 33.1%, much closer to where I was yesterday. I will get this figured out. I did play with the settings on Libra and decided since I do these 10 day challenges, I will adjust my "smoothing" days to 10 days (it was at 14 days so I made it a bit more sensitive to each individual weight I input). It changed my goal date forecast from May 1st to April 6th! If that's not motivation to stay on track, I don't know what is.

For those asking, this is the job with the in-person interview last Monday. It is in Texas and I will be moving down there (: So long as today's phone call to go over all my questions and discussing with mama after goes well, that is. She worries and I'm rather inclined to listen to mama's intuition -- I am her only child and I'm about to move further away from her but its something she knows I want. If she's not against it, despite the distance, then I know I've done good for myself. And she knows that Texas is where I wanted to settle down, buy land and a house, have my cows (I have a deep love for cows and pigs and horses) so this is me growing up. Plus, once I'm settled, she knows it'll be easier for me and I can visit more. We even discussed that my current place wasn't my forever place. She asked if this was another stepping stone or somewhere I could see myself staying long term. This is long term, at least as far as I can tell. Starting my current place, I knew right off the bat it wasn't long term and so did she, so hearing that I planned to plant myself and stay was a huge plus for her.12 -

Stuck to my calories in spite of a get together with home made scones. Yay!
2/8 - 178
Calories below target yesterday, and no late-night snacking. I did something to my back or hip (sharp pain over lower left back when I get up or down, or, you know, move). I can’t decide which is better for it, rest or a long walk. Ugh.
2/9 - 178
Pretty much stuck to calories, although I did sample the mocha buttercream frosting for a cake I made for a gathering today. Still in pain.
2/10 - 178.6
My bad. We had lunch at Fazoli’s so pasta and (just one!) bread stick, and I was hungry late so had a pb&j on Dave’s killer bread. So healthy but caloric. Oh well, this is life, and I have salmon and greens on line for lunch. My back is a little better, I think. New week — onward!
2/11 - 178
I’m surprised I’m back down. I had chocolate cake and some other caloric things yesterday to soothe my back. Sigh. Better choices today.

02/07 134.4 I was determined not to go up between the end of one round and the start of the next!! So yay! Lunch out so I'm planning to eat sensibly...
02/08 134.4 I better buckle down. I didn't log yesterday because I went out for lunch and have no idea what the calories were. I simply have to end the round lower than I started. With my knee hurting and long work hours I haven't done the elliptical. I should make time for that.
02/09 134. Elliptical yesterday and knee didn't hurt (more)! Also, stayed firm and had no alcohol inspire of people strongly suggesting I would like a drink! Who needs a headache?
02/10 133.6 I'm happy I lost during the weekend, with all the social activity! I was super careful on the cheese and chips and dip over the weekend. Had like 3 chips! I wasn't very hungry last evening so didn't have a full meal. That helps too and I need to do that more often, and just save the little bits of food for the next day. There's so much food around but it doesn't mean it has to go into my stomach all at the same time.
02/11 143. A little stress easting, but mostly dinner was bits and pieces so not very healthy 😞 I have a migraine and not sure whether it was sugar or stress.

Best of luck with the migraine -- they're awful. Hope you start feeling better very very soon
😃 I get them off and on and am working on decoding the triggers. Thank you 🤗4 -

I also suffer from migraines . Stopped eating chocolate 14 years ago and I don't drink, eat very little aged cheese and don't smoke.
I just realized the chocolate, so have to remember better not to have it. I didn't think of cheese. I'll have to try that. Does it matter how much?3 -
Hey everyone! I took a long break from these challenges, but I've continued to weigh in daily on Happy Scale and celebrated my small victories to myself lol. However, since I was hospitalized late last year for something that could've taken my life, I've been having trouble losing weight! I think my body has been trying to recuperate after that and plus I got the flu and sinusitis on Christmas and I'm still taking meds from that to this day. I want to have some additional accountability to get these extra 6ish pounds off that I've been struggling with for 4 months now since I was hospitalized!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07: 182.6 (I gained 0.2 pounds from last week! I have lost inches, and my smallest jeans are starting to get baggy but the scale has increased. TOM is coming on Sunday so I know that’s why. I did an intense kickboxing class last night and ate some potato corn chowder for dinner last night!)
02/08: 184.2 (I save some calories for the weekend and last night I made a homemade cheeseburger and some baked French fries. I’m guessing that was a TOM craving 😂. No workout yesterday since it was my rest day!)
02/09: 185.8 (TOM came yesterday afternoon as I expected. I did not workout yesterday as it was my second rest day and ran some errands. I had a bean burrito for dinner last night and relaxed!)
02/10: 185.6 (A slight tick downwards. I’m hoping for a lot of weight down this week! Let’s see how it goes! I did a Zumba workout at home for an hour and I had some roasted pork loin, green beans and salad for dinner last night.)
02/11: 181.8 (Umm what happened? 😂 this kind of shocked me! I think it’s the most weight I’ve lost after/during a cycle. I had gained 2 weeks back to back because of my cycle. I’m hoping it goes back to normal! I did a Zumba class at the gym last night and ate honey garlic chicken breast, rice, asparagus and grapes for dinner!)
02/12: 180.4 (I think I’m dreaming! I’ve been struggling for months and I guess I just had to come back to this group for my weight to budge. Only 4.4 pounds left until I get to the lowest weight since my hospitalization. Anyway, I did a 1 hour kickboxing class at the gym and I had Caesar salad and a slice of broccoli cheddar chicken pot pie for dinner!)

They're offering me the position! Its $5k/yr more than I make now. Pension begins a year after starting (which is fine because I'll just contribute to my Roth. I stopped my roth contributions when I started doing the 401k here).
Med, dental, and vision are immediate. They're sending me benefits packet information via email.
Congratulations!! Good luck 👍!

02/12 135 why???? Boo. I tracked yesterday and was within calories. But I did make this salty pickled thing that I was tasting so maybe that has something to do with it. Today I will balance the salt. We have to go out for dinner and I don't want to sabotage everything. It's Indian food and so hard to eat healthy in an Indian restaurant. I have four days to make sure I end lower than I began. I have to do this!

Round 104, 21st Round for Me
Starting Weight: 276.8 lbs
Goal Weight: 274.8 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
02/07: 278.1 lbs (+1.3) … expected an uptick here as I had lost about 5lb over the past couple days. Still not too bad.
02/08: 279.9 lbs (+1.8) … another expected uptick. Had a nice date night and was perfectly within budget, but then my wife and I decided we’d play drunken video games together so I wound up having another 5 beers late into the evening. Whatever this is is temporary and should fall off within the next couple days. Sometimes you just have to live a little
While I’ve set 274.8 as a goal for this round (I always choose my goal to be 2 lb less), I’ll be completely happy if I end around my round start weight… since last round ended with a dramatic drop in weight.
02/09: 278.9 lbs (-1.0) … down a bit. Planning on eating pretty light today, which should help me drop some more.
02/10: 279.6 lbs (+0.7) … hrm. Cooperate already, body. Despite eating really light yesterday and staying fairly active doing housework, I still wound up with a gain on the scale. Oh well. Still very happy about the inches I’ve dropped around my waist over the past week and a half.
02/11: 278.3 lbs (-1.3) … this is what I want to see. More of this. I was finally able to replace my defective VR headset (been out of commision since Thanksgiving!) and got back to one workout that I love -- Beat Saber. Played a couple hours last night.
02/12: 277.3 lbs (-1.0) … Three hours of VR last night no doubt made this drop possible. Played another 2 hours of Beat Saber and one of Superhot VR. Finally beat the latter. It was pretty challenging. Wound up with about 14,000 steps between walking and moving all over the living room while playing in VR.
