You're doing so well stick with us, if you let you acheivements slide you will only regret it. Use us to off load your problems - a problem shared is a problem halved etc. Hugs again xx

General goal is to maintain below 150, and trend slowly downward to 145.
The downward trend is a bit slow for my liking, but at least it's is still downward.
Looking forward:

• February: I need to focus on getting back to where I was pre-Christmas
• 2020: Goal is to stabilise weight around 145
• Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
• Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
• Cut down on eating between meals

Never give up! Never give in!
Back Story:

2018:
My goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.
2019
I exceeded that and have been below 150 for most of the last 2 months.
In 2018, I put on 10 lbs over the last 2 months of the year.
In 2019, I consistently lost weight since the end of July. I put on about 4lbs over the Christmas break, but was still below my original 2019 goal.
That's a WIN in my book!

2020
I need this more than ever now that I am in maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
• A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
• Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
• The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
• Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
• The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
• When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
• Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

@tiabirdie56 (((Hugs))) So sorry to hear that you are going through a rocky patch. It's normal to feel that way from time to time. But you have worked so hard and come so far. Tomorrow is a new round and a new day, so time for a new start. I know you have it in you to get back on track. You have always been an inspiration to me and so many others here. 💕💖💕

Starting Weight: 152.0 lbs
Round Goal Weight: 150.0 lbs

02/27 - 151.4 Good start, stayed within limits.

02/28 - 151.6 Ate a little over my calorie allotment yesterday. A little sore from weight lifting.

02/29 - 151.8 Wrong way scale! Not too worried, I tend to bounce around a little. Stayed within calories, but probably need more water.

03/01 - 151.6 Wish it would drop a little faster, but at least it's moving in the right direction again.

03/02: - 151.6 Hope to see a drop soon. Sticking to calories, but just looked over my food diary for the past few days and I noticed I've been eating more carbs than usual. I'm going to cut back on the carbs and see if that helps.

03/03: - 150.6 There's the drop I've been waiting for.

03/04: - 150.0 Been watching those carbs.

03/05: - 149.6

03/06: - 150.0 Took the grandkids out for ice cream cones yesterday, couldn't resist..lol! I did stay within calories but my carb count was pretty high for the day.

03/07: - 149.6 Pretty happy with this round, down -2.6 lbs. Looking forward to the next round!

My goal for 2020 is to reach One-derland by end of the year. Will be happy if I can get close to even 200 lbs. Also, build my strength and endurance while toning my muscles, as I'm losing weight.

My goals for R106:
1) Be more mindful of what goes into my mouth.
2) Don't be controlled be my emotions when it comes to eating.
3) Workout for 20 minutes 3 X's a week.
4) Walk as much as I'm able.

3/01: 272.4. I think a lot of the problem with me having these weekly plateaus issues, has to do with some of the meds I take. I usually lose every week on average about 2 lbs, even with the plateaus. Just need to get things heading in the right direction. I really want to get out of the 70's. My goal for the end of March is (265 lbs) Which is (7.4 lbs) still to go. With a little over 4 weeks till then, I think I'll be able to reach this goal. 😊

3/02: 272.4 Looks like there will be no loss this week. It happens every so often. Been on this journey for a very long time, and have had a few plateaus. But the good news is, I always start losing again. If not this week, then hopefully next week.

3/03:DNW
3/04:DNW

3/07 272.4 No lose this round. Not a good round for me fighting off a cold. Staying put is always better than gaining. 😃

Day/Weight/Comment
02/27 159.2 lbs 1050 calories, 10,000 steps, fatigue, back pain, nausea, Physical therapy today

02/28 160.4 1751 calories, 8000 steps, physical therapy was a waste of time, I got a heat pack for ten minutes and went over exercises that I had already been doing before this last month of back pain. No massaging, nothing. But come back twice a week so I can take your money. Ummm... I made another appointment with the doctor today, which is 90 miles of driving again. If I don't get an MRI and something to get me through the weekend........ I gave into tears from pain and ate two rows of girl scout cookies.

02/29. 159.2lbs. MRI today.

03/01. 159.6 lbs. 2500 calories, 6000 steps spent four driving to mri but met my daughter and she took me out for supper and we splurged on desserts. So this number will continue to go up for another day. Restarting this month, hoping to find out what’s wrong with back, get some pain control and take back my life.

03/02 160.0 lbs 1085 calories, 7500 steps

03/03 160.2 1375 calories, 19500 steps. Back is better but loss is hard with no IF because of eating breakfast with pain pills in the morning. Hard to keep calories to 1000 for loss.

03/04 160.6 lbs 1136 calories, 18,500 steps. So my stomach the last couple days are not liking the pills plus I keep gaining no matter how much exercise. So going off the pills to fix my stomach. Ugh!

03/05 160. 0 lbs 1036 calories, 15,200 steps. IF 16 hours. So I ended up taking the pill at noon and continuing with them because my back started getting worse. Another side effect is water retention. Stomach is still not happy on this diet. No MRI results yet.

03/06 160.4 lbs 1872 calories, 19000 steps. IF 16 hours

03/07 160.4 1200 calories, 15,00 steps IF 16 hours

Gained 1.4 lbs this round. Ugh! I hope it's water weight.

UGW 150 and a BMI of 20
Round 103- SW 160, EW 157 -3
Round 104- SW 157, EW 159 +2
Round 105- SW 159, EW 158 -1

02/27- 157.2 sigh. I'm only just back to where I finished at 2 rounds ago. I got a new digital scale so I'll see if it fluctuates like my old one. I'm not going to super obsess about it, because I don't have that much left to reach goal.
02/28- 156.4 Happy about this. Did 30 min of HIIT in the AM and walked 2 miles. Will try to be good on the weekend, but have drinks tonight.
02/29- 156.7- Rode Frosty since the ground was frozen.
03/01- 157.4- Ran 3.5 miles with Frosty since the gound was too wet to ride and walked another 2
03/02- 157.0- well that's not awful for a weekend. I'm always super active, but then I don't really track and eat a bunch of crap. It doesn't help I was ghosted yet again and I'm an emotional eater.
03/03- 158.0 WTH.. I guess that's the weekend. I stayed under calories yesterday, but ate a ton of cabbage soup. Maybe water weight, who knows. Just staying the course. Ran 2.5 miles yesterday with Frosty.
03/04- 156.4 better. I'm guessing that was water weight and salt from the cabbage soup. Tracking calories. It was donut breakfast at school for the youngest today, but I didn't eat the whole thing and I'll try to eat well the rest of the day. Ran 3 miles yesterday.
03/05- 154 I had leg cramps post ride and HIIT last night so I know I'm dehydrated and this is artificial. I won't freak out tomorrow when it's back up. Still, it's nice to see. Only 4 pounds to goal weight. Must drink more water.
03/06- 154.2 I went over calories yesterday by a little. I was just really hungry. I don't think I got enough protein or drank enough water. Protein is what keeps me full and it's hard to get enough without going over in calories. I'm sure I'll pay for the overage tomorrow... Short ride on Frosty yesterday
03/07- 153.2 well that's pleasantly unexpected. What a great end to a round! Heading into a weekend. Plan to stay busy and active.

Down 4 lbs for the round. That's a lot since I'm so close to goal. Hoping to just maintain or only down 1 lb for next round.

Day/Weight/Comment

2/27: 144.0 (+1.4) – Water, salt, digestive issues. Calories were not over but did drink and it was salty food. It’s going to be a challenging few days with social stuff last night, tonight, Fri and Sat. I am really going to have to bank calories during the day and exercise.

2/28: 143.8 (-.2) – Going to try to run today – gotta burn some cals heading into a busy social weekend. Happy FriYay all…..Looking forward to March and some spring like weather. In TX that could be 50 or 90 😎

2/29: 142.0 (-1.8) – This can’t be correct but I weighed 4 times with and without an 8 lb dumb bell and resetting the scale. Also, I purposely only had a 300 cal protein bar at lunch yesterday and saved my calories for dinner at 7 so I ate most of them back late! I will see them tomorrow or Monday as I am out tonight as well at Make-A-Wish Fundraiser with Barbecue/drinks. Back on track tomorrow. Happy Leap Year y’all!🤩

3/1: 142.0 (0) – Didn’t check the scale….just going with it. Plan to run today to work off last night’s tacos, queso, chips and Tito’s. Happy March Fools Day y’all!🤘

3/2: 143.0 (+1.0) - This is what they call a “Burger and Fries” hangover! But it was good! I ate way under my cals though because it was a 2 pm gut bomb. Dinner was zucchini noodles and spinach. Looking for a sports med doc today to give me some direction on hip pain. In the mean time, I will have to focus on the calories in part of the equation! ➕➖➗✖

3/3: 142.6 (-.4) – Gym day then sports med doc to solve the “my hip hurts when I run” issue. Ate well yesterday. This should be a quiet week. Hope everyone in the US with a Super Tuesday primary gets to vote! ☮

3/4: 142.0 (-.6) – I ate ok yesterday but had to eat in the car due to doctors appt. so I didn’t eat it all. Came home and had cheese and crackers unplanned. Then I got a call from college daughter and it really stressed me out. She is struggling with post college decisions and I feel helpless knowing that its truly her journey and tried to reassure her that whatever she does, its just a step…a first step. Still had to have some wine after….😏🍷 Today is cardio medley because I can’t run just yet.

3/5: 143.0 (+1.0) – no idea why I am up but whatever….life is a little stressful these days. Hoping to get a long walk in since the weather is going to be awesome today. I need a gym break.

3/6: 143.0 (same) – busy day yesterday. Ate well until the stress cookies but still under my calories. Went to a night yoga class to mix it up. It was a nice way to destress before bed and get away from the Coronavirus non-stop coverage, which leads to the ingestion of cookies .🍪🍪🍪

3/7: 142.2 (-.8) – Happy with this….just a normal up and down flux but such is life and the stock market.🤨 Found out that MRI on my hip shows some sort of stress fracture. I will meet with doc on Tuesday to discuss what this means but his message mentioned 8 weeks of healing….dang. Gotta find a way to burn 300-400 calories a day while healing….this should be interesting. On to the next round.😆

02/28 - DNW
02/29 - I've had the worse week I've had since beginning MFP 12/27. Everything has felt off and I feel like I'm starting to go down a slippery slope. I'm going to try what worked a couple of rounds ago and try to hit every goal for just 5 days - so here goes:

✔️03/01 - Calories: 1125 / IF: 16.25 hrs / Exercise: Row 30min / H20: 72oz / Veg/Frt: 4/2
✔️03/02 - Calories: 1334 / IF: 17.75 hrs / Exercise: Row 30min / H20: 64oz / Veg/Frt: 4/2
✔️03/03 - Calories: 1181 / IF: 20.75 hrs / Exercise: Row 30min / H20: 72oz / Veg/Frt: 4/1
✔️03/04 - Calories: 1486 / IF: 18.00 hrs / Exercise: Row 30min & free weights / H20: 72oz / Veg/Frt: 4/1
✔️03/05 - Calories: 1495 / IF: 16.00 hrs / Exercise: Row 30min / H20: 64oz / Veg/Frt: 4/1 DID IT! Now to keep it up and start losing again!

It IS getting tiring being this rigid with tracking every goal, every day, but I was slipping badly for a couple weeks. I feel stronger in every way now so one more day to make it the five I committed to, then I'll keep going just not post every goal, every day. It's time to weigh again Fri or Sat. I hope I'm at least back to where I started this round, HOWEVER, either way, this was more about my feeling out of control and catching it before I went back to my old ways!

03/06 - 174.5 - Reset! Now ready to start losing again!

03/07 - 173.9 - Very happy with this number! Glad to be back in the 173's at least for today! -0.4 for this round

Short-term goal - back into the 160's!

03/03 - 165.8 I did an at-home core workout last night ... which sucked lol. But I also did an outdoor jog and it was really nice!
03/04 - 168.2 Wow ... my poor decision making in regards to what I'm putting into my body is starting to show. Hopefully I can turn this around still. Today is a new day.

03/07 - 166.2 Well it's a loss but I definitely over indulged way too much this round.

bearly63

@tiabirdie56 Sorry to hear that things are tough right now. What is it with hips? It's also a stressful time in general and family issues don't help. Sometimes a mental break is just as important as a physical one. Just keep trying to do something good for yourself everyday. Hang in there!

Goals for 2020 — eat consciously and responsibly, exercise and meditate daily, get back to productive writing & painting, help people, be kind, learn new things, have fun.
🏃🏽‍♀️🥗🍎🥕🥦🏊🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️

R106 Goals — I’m trying something new this round. I’ve counted calories daily for years, through ups and downs, and have admitted to myself that it’s obsessive and not necessarily productive. This round I’m trying to simply eat when hungry and to mindfully choose mostly what I know is healthful. I’m going to weigh in only on the first and final days this round, but I will check in daily. Thanks for indulging me.

2/27 - 181.2
I can see that not recording what I eat will be a struggle, I’ve been doing it for so long (even while gaining back some of what I’d lost), but I’m starting to work my way through The Intuitive Eating Workbook to see if I can stop snacking and otherwise eating stupidly, and stop letting food and calories control me. So no more weighing until 3/7 and no tracking this round. I know that’s not the point of this challenge, but this group is so supportive and inspiring, I want to hang out with you. 🎟

2/28 - 179.6
Old habits — I weighed myself before I thought about it. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.

2/29 - —
I went out for lunch with a friend yesterday and still feel the sodium this morning — rings won’t come off. But that meal did me for the rest of the day, so not all bad I guess. I’m flushing myself out with lots of water and normal sodium today. Happy Leap Day, everyone!

3/1 - —

3/2 - —
I’m managing not to step on the scale, but it’s hard — such a habit! I had a good weekend in terms of food (no idea about calories, but I felt “lighter”), and took a nice walk yesterday. It’s warmed up, but now we expect a few days of rain. Oh well!

3/3 - —
I’m slowly adjusting to not recording everything and not obsessing. Feeling good. I confess though that I’m curious to see if I lose this experimental round!

3/4 - —
Just like the bunny, I’m still going?

3/5 - —
Oddly enough, while I’m not tracking my food, my snacking has decreased to, well, none other than air-popped popcorn in the evening. No idea whether I’ve lost any weight, but I feel less hungry. Hmmm.

3/6 - —
It’s turned cold again, but my crocus are blooming. Spring is coming!

3/7 - 180
Okay, not a big loss, but I do feel slightly more in control. And it’s not a gain, which is great considering my record over the past year, which I think has been a reaction to depriving myself for 3 years, and especially the very restrictive elim8nation diet I was on. It seems counterintuitive, but trusting my hunger/satiety and not obsessively tracking is starting to feel a little safer, if that makes sense. I’m going to try it for one more round and see what happens. See you in R107!
