Day/Weight/Comment
03/18: 177.6 (A nice 2 lb drop from yesterday! I did an at home Zumba class from what I remember during the at person one using Spotify. I made a delicious dinner and tried to release some stress. I’m still going to work since they haven’t shut down and I don’t see them doing it unless the governor does it for the whole state. We’ll see! Taking it day by day!)
03/19: 178.8 (I’m super sore from my workouts at home! This weight gain is only temporary since I’ve completely changed the way I workout. I did another YouTube workout and ate to plan.)
03/20: 177.6 (I didn’t work out yesterday like I was supposed to and ate out of plan by having 2 mini brownies. I’m so stressed out because my husband has been ordered to not work and thankfully I work for an essential business so half of our normal income will come through just fine. My husband has to file from unemployment today and we’ll see how much he gets. It’s gonna be a struggle, but I’m grateful that I’ll have enough money for essentials. I need another mental health day, so I will be staying at home like we’ve been ordered to (I usually have every other Friday off so my weekend has started) and organizing my bathroom. I’ll see if I get a workout in today even though I have another rest day I can use from now til Sunday. Best of luck everyone!)
03/21: 178.8 (My hubby and I ordered some takeout from a nearby Mexican restaurant and it definitely hit the spot! We’re taking full advantage of Postmates on the weekend. I didn’t do a workout yesterday but I got approved to work from home so I’ll be doing that next week. Only time we’re really gonna go outside is when we need to go to the grocery store. Hubby is going right now to see if there are eggs anywhere. We only have 3 left and there’s a shortage!)
03/22: 180.6 (I made some lasagna last night and that was so good! Did a YouTube workout as well and relaxed as much as possible!)
03/23: 180.0 (Yesterday I decided to organize my bathroom shelves and linen closet. I threw so many products away that were close to empty or ever used. It was so therapeutic to get rid of a lot of stuff. I did a YouTube workout and ate some leftovers. Overall it was a good day.)
03/24: 178.6 (Had a normal day at work and did another YouTube workout. Hubby put the crockpot on for dinner and I did not have to cook anything last night. Those are my favorite kind of meals!)
03/15: 177.2 (Now that is surprising! Another low for 2020 and I’m happy with that! I made a yummy dinner and tried not to stress today!)
03/26: 177.2 (No change, which is just fine! I finally got my VPN at work yesterday and now I get to work from home! I did a workout at home last night and ate some leftovers!)

Day/Weight/Comment
3/18 192.2 Happy to start with a loss! Am down and blue this morning—didn’t sleep well, my daughter was laid off with the rest of her company, so this at least is something nice to think about. Working hard to get exercise in and keep calories green. Can’t let the blues mess with progress...
3/19 192.2 Happy to stick with the lower weight and not bounce up. So far sticking to the program but struggling with feeling burned out by all the firefighting and emotional support I have to put out there.
3/20 192.2 Exact same weight again. Realistically I’m doing the exact same things—eating green, exercising—but I’m also out of routine with this working at home and have a higher level of anxiety as reflected in a rising average resting heart rate. So I’m ok with maintaining—my goal is to be compassionate with myself right now. Compassionate by being healthy, but not harsh.
3/21 DNW—away from scale
3/22 191.4 Yay, a loss! Was worried about the salty pot roast last night and not much vegetables.
3/23 191.4 Kept the loss, happy with that. Started omega oil pills last night—nauseous this morning and didn’t get in my run. Wondering if it’s related.
3/24 191.4 was hoping for a little more off, but ‘twas not to be...at least no gain. I developed a sore shin yesterday, may have to stick to the exercise bike for a little while to rest it. Never feel like I work out as hard on the bike...I should look up some videos to keep it interesting.
3/25 192.0 I’m guessing hormonal fluctuations. Or else because 40 minutes on the bike in the evening is not as helpful to metabolism as a walk in the morning! No good reason otherwise for an uptick, was green for calories.
3/26 191.4 ...and back to this number again. Going to pound water today trying to get it to budge...

3/18 255.6 The start of heading back down and hopefully to new lows this round.
3/19 254.4 That’s the previous low I hit anything lower will be a new low. I was looking through my phone at older photos and then I saw my newer ones, the difference is so profound. It really helped me to see how far I’ve come.
3/20 255.2 Early weigh in, Japanese take out, and a lack of sleep. On the plus side I got to the store early enough to get potatoes and chicken.
3/21 254.4 I’m glad to be back down I had a high sodium lunch, which sometimes gives me a bounce up. I also hit ovulation time according to my health app, so I’ll see if I hold or manage to drop. Sometimes if I’m really careful I can still see a drop or two, but usually I hold or bounce around.
3/22 254.0 New low, yay! It’s been a bit since I’ve been able to say that and I’m so glad that I didn’t give in to the want to eat yesterday.
3/23 253.4 Yay for the continuing downward trend. I wanted to eat to eat again yesterday and I finally had a couple of spoonfuls of ice cream and a small amount of chocolate milk. I didn’t binge though and thankfully it helped a lot. I’m really proud of myself for sticking to just a couple of bites and not letting it spiral out of control.
3/24 252.4 I don’t know what brought about this big drop, but I hope the downward trend continues and I don’t bounce back up some.
3/25 252.6 I don’t know what caused the little bounce, but I didn’t know what brought on such a drop yesterday, so I guess it all evens out.
3/26 251.4 There’s the bounce up plus a little more and just a little over 130 pounds lost so far. I’m looking forward to a day of playing games with the kids.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/18: 139.0 (+.2) – This next several months will be challenging as we are all having to change our daily realities, activities, eating, etc. The more we can talk about it the better. I went to my small gym today (at a private club so its still open but they are limiting it to 10 people at a time. Thankfully I was by myself, and rode the bike for an hour and rowed for 10 min. I miss running and walking as I need fresh air. But I am determined to heal the hip and keep on keeping on. Everyone hang in there.😘
3/19: 139.0 (0) Nothing new. Just trying to stay put and work, entertain myself, eat healthy, etc. I went to the nursery yesterday, waiting to get in as they kept it to 10 people and strolled around in fresh air and bought a few plants to repot my pots. That will be nice…to be outdoors. Take care❤🌻🌞
3/20: 140.2 (+1.2) Ate like crap at dinner. Drank wine. Stressed and sad. Overwhelmed with all of this BS right now. Will try to do better. Sorry to be such a Debbie Downer😥
3/21: 139.8 (-.4) Went to the gym yesterday before it shut down. Was alone until I wasn’t so that was weird. Not any more. Peloton arrived today for a trial. Will give it a whirl later.😎
3/22: 140.4 (+.6) Peloton is here….fun so far. Eating comfort food while comforting is not the best for weight watching. Found out this morning that my 24 year old son in NYC is showing symptoms of a virus – assuming Covid 19 but he will not go to doctor because they said per the website not to bother unless you were in bad shape. No testing available either. He will just have to deal….sent him some stuff yesterday so hopefully he stays mild and can rest and stay in for a week and be over it.😑
3/23: 139.2 (-1.2) Ate a pretty unhealthy lunch but a really healthy vegetarian dinner. Drank some wine. No idea why I am up and down a lot other than stress. Life is unreal these days so not going to attempt to be able to understand it. It’s going to be a long week. 😒
3/24:138.0 (-1.2) No idea….did eat under and did a very short ride. I think the veggies helped my system reset. Need to do that more! Was able to find a thermometer and fed ex to my son. I hope he is ok. 😯
3/25: 139.2 (+1.2) This scale is acting wonky but I did have a very salty fajita meal and a couple of cocktails while doing a zoom bookclub . Who knows. Social isolation messes with the mind and the scale. The good news? Talked to my son today. He sounded a bit better!🥰
3/26: 139.6 (+.4) Yep….eating back all my calories and not the best mix of food-wine and candy. Stress is messing with me. I got to lay eyes on my son - he looked good. I really hope that he has the Covid 19 virus vs influenza because I will be stressed that he will get it again. The things that run through my mind😆

Day/Weight/Comment
03/18 - 156.1 - Almost gave up on trying anymore yesterday, so much work and effort for such slow results. Re-motivated today.
03/19 - 155.4 - Slept in today, that likely helped with the scale.
03/20 - 156.5 - Ribs. I had better not have them again for 3 months.
03/21 - 157.2 - The rise continues. Not as motivated right now. My workouts have been on point, but not my eating.
03/22 - 157.8 - I had better try and get rid of this.
03/23 - 156.6 - Better. Continuing to burn lots of calories through exercise/hiking each day, back to moderating food.
03/24 - 156.0 - Back on track. Much harder to take off than put on.
03/15 - 156.3
03/26 - 156.0 - One more day for this 10, motivation to be "good"

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
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.

03/19 122.0 They finally closed our community center. My question is, why does it take 3 people to “man” the empty building through APRIL when no one can get in??? It seems like a lot MORE web surfing will be going on at our expense!
03/20 121.5
03/21 120.5 Apparently I’m more distracted than I had realized. I keep forgetting to make my daily post after I make comments. Yesterday I sat in our courtyard and enjoyed the sun and 59 degree afternoon.
03/22 121.5 A touch of stress eating I think. 7 saltines with butter last night. I have started a diary of our doings and goings on since earlier this month.
03/23 120.5
03/24 120.0 This lockdown is tough. My husband swears it’s been 2 weeks instead of the one it actually has been. I have caved to the desire of that hot end slice of homemade bread and the loaf is almost ready to come out of the oven.
03/15 121.0 Water retention from the bread just one slice. SMH No problem this too shall pass. Another round almost over!

Hello everyone, 😊
I've found my way back. It's been ages since I was last online. With so much happening to us all right now I won't burden you with my trifling inconveniences. There are too many real problems out there for me to complain about anything.
"No mercy and no excuses" I quote an old online friend of mine. I managed to keep the fat off about ten years but in the past year I've managed to hit a ten year high. No way am I going to turn this weight loss surgery success story into a failure story.
The round is nearly over but I'm re-committing to my partial daily fast. No solids from midnight to 4pm at the earliest and one small snack plus one full meal daily. It has been working for me.
Last round I posted: 168.4

It's a miracle that I've only gained a fraction of a pound given my behavior over the past several weeks. I'm climbing back on the wagon.

Missed the mark this morning on my fasting hours. Yesterday was all carbs because I was too lazy to cook.
Off to a lousy start but I'm a little closer to my goal. Back to work on getting things right.

Round 108 - March 18 to 28
Female, 5’, 67 years. SW – 163.8, GW – 164 something, UGW – 140.
Goals: continue with 12 hr. IF, see if I can complete my tracking every day and get focussed exercise most days – either gym exercises I can do at home, other (like fitness video). Don’t expect to go to the gym for 2 months and then my membership will be almost finished. We do have a treadmill that my husband uses so I guess I could get used to using that.
Day/Weight/Comment
03/18 – 163.8 – sick with the regular flu
03/19 – 161.8 – Threw up and then hardly ate yesterday, so it is a false low – but still lovely to see that #. Feeling much better today.
03/20 – 164.2 – Back to normal.
03/21 – 165 – Feeling pretty much recovered and it looks like my weight has too, lol. I did give in to snacking on graham crackers late last night, so if I stick with IF today maybe it will drop to 164’s. Have been getting more phone calls, texts than usual from extended family all checking up on each other. That with the online news has really put a dint in my organization and days. Today making a list and getting some fresh air and exercise time. Weather here is very early spring – rhubarb just emerging. I’m toying with the idea of starting some plants inside for later transplanting. I haven’t done that in years but still have the light setup and it’s so much fun to see all the stuff germinate plus no idea if greenhouses will be open.
03/22 – 164.2 – Don’t feel like I deserve this as I snacked on cashews last night. Oh well, a better day today. Another beautiful day and typical for us this time of year – under the trees on the sunny side of the yard things are turning green and the rest has 2+ feet of snow. Good thing I see the sunny side from the diningroom.
03/23 – 163.8 – Nice to see this and hope I can keep going down. Tracked all and IF - 12 hrs. Feeling pretty good though still some coughing and sneezing – ack, was hoping to do a quick final run to the groc. store but I guess not today.
03/24 – 163.4 – Tracked and IF. Hung sheets on the line and did a little bit outside. Love the fresh air but have to make myself get out there. I’m 2/3 done, and can hardly wait to finish, a bigger cross-stitch project and it’s really helping with the snacking because I have to keep my hands very clean. So much better than surfing the news in the evening.
03/25 – 163.8 – IF -12 or more, didn’t finish tracking but stayed quite low. DH went to the groc. store during the seniors’ time this a.m. to pick up milk and a few other things because I am still coughing. Feeling very thankful to be alive and ok, in my own home, and spring coming outside.
03/26 – 164 – Tracked cals. and under, IF – 12+ hrs. Did spend most of the day sitting doing cross stitch – it’s coming along so well and the end is in sight – however, have to make myself do some more active stuff.
03/2710 -
@fmfdfa2020 – Good point.
@TwistedSassette “and simply being on site doesn't mean you're working!” - Oh my, this brought back some memories of my days as a library clerk way back when. One of my friends got a promotion and confided that after the first hour or so she had nothing to do. We all knew that the girl she replaced was very chatty and also a big complainer but none of us realized that as she failed to get her work done other people had started doing her jobs to the point that she wasn't doing anything.

03/25 …..201.6 ….. Supply truck arrived at our grocery store. Still no TP, yeast to bake bread etc. but some things were restocked in very small quantity. I spent my day shopping (which is allowed during the mandated stay-in in Michigan). I delivered to all my children and closest friends so more people could stay in. I had to go out for repair parts anyway so this was the safest bet for everyone. I am back inside today. I may go out to rake my motel parking lot a bit as exercise (exercise allowed outside during mandate) and try to keep things looking okay. I’ll be raking around snowpiles, but it is supposed to be warmer today so I want to take advantage of it. I see that our group are real troopers in light of this virus. I am so proud of you all for your efforts to continue on the best journey possible during this pandemic. {{hugs}} to you all!
03/26 …..203.2 ….. I think this house arrest (that’s what the shut-in-order feels like!) has made me go completely insane. Thank goodness I burned a lot of calories yesterday or who knows how “unreasonable” the scale would have been! No excuses. My fault. Today will be better. No choice!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/18 - 361.8 - Good news. My interview on Monday went well. Better news. I have applied for several positions with state (PA) and federal gov't. One position with the state just got back to me and said I scored a 100 on their test. Now I'm just a bit excited. Getting a job with either means I can use my time in the Air Force towards retirement. I'll have to work until I'm 72, but hey... it does take a huge weight off my shoulders. Bittersweet news... My mom has lived with me for the past 20+ years. We recently found out she has early stage dementia. But the state is saying she now qualifies for in-home health care. Which means that while I am at work, someone will be here most of that time. This would be another huge weight off my shoulders. I had to reset my scale and it jumped up. Not happy, but let's see how it goes for the next few day.
03/19 - 360.9 - At a time where the coronavirus is virtually collapsing our economy, I got offered a job yesterday. I just have to pass the background check. As long as my previous employers are honest, I'll be fine. I guess the stress was slowing my weightloss, since I'm down almost a pound. The real barometer is if it continues. Time will tell. Also got my payout from my 6-month DietBet. I put in $175 and got out $176.30. Yup, a whopping $1.30 of winnings. Needless to say, I won't be doing that again. And that's a cautionary tale for anyone interested/considering participating.
03/20 - 359.4 - And downward we go. Back under 360 and I hope it stays that way.
03/21 - 359.3 - Slowly we continue. As long as I'm level or dropping, I'm ok.
03/22 - 359.1 - Starting to exercise from home. I liked going to the gym because if I drove there, I seemed to be more invested. I know I have to exercise, even if I sometimes fight myself. Downward we go!
03/23 - 358.0 - I think I'm solidly under 360 now. And a little roadmark... I'm now down over 20% of the total weight I want to drop. And I'm a little ahead since I've now reached my goal for this round.
03/24 - 358.4 - A small tick back. Not a problem, since the downward trend still holds.
03/25 - 357.7 - Seems that when I consistently drink ACV, my weight # goes down. 45 lbs. down. While I have been hired for one job, my dream job was to get a state or federal job and use my time in the Air Force (8 years) towards a retirement. In the past few days I've gotten great test scores back from the state and been referred for a federal job with the VA close to my home. I'm hoping this is that ray of sun through all the clouds. But like this long-term weight loss journey, those jobs are slower to the actual finish line. If anyone works for their state (mine is PA) or federal gov't, any advice is certainly appreciated. I don't want to get too excited, but... I am!
03/26 - 357.0 - Another nice loss. FINALLY started adding weights into my routine. Did a 15 minute kettlebell routine this morning that just about killed me, but when you start, it's always hard.

I' m in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!
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. Then I had hip surgery March 10th. Recovery is slow. Sure do want to be back walking!
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

They were just stocking the meat dept when he got there. Interesting morning. I didn't go with him...still using the walker and it's too hard to get up in the Santa Fe without a ladder.

Looking forward:
Never give up! Never give in!- March: 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
Back Story:2018:2020
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!
Focus: 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.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

03/18 | 132.6kg | No change | Busy day at work and had visitors all evening/night. My mum came in to town ready to babysit my son today, so I picked my sister up on my way home from work and brought her to my place as well so we could all catch up. Later, my dad also decided to come into town but he didn't arrive until about 9:30pm. So it was a late dinner and a few beers, I was expecting a rise on the scale. On the bright side, I didn't snack after work and I didn't have dessert. Got all my water in, but no exercise. Hubby out of town for a day trip today, will see how shopping goes - we normally do an online order that he can just pick up, but they have cancelled that service at the moment so that is frustrating. Stay safe, everyone!
03/19 | 132.7kg | +0.1kg | Made homemade pizzas on wrap bases last night, they were delicious and much lighter than the normal dough bases I make, but I think my sodium was very high as a result (perhaps I should choose a more healthy topping than pepperoni...). Only drank 2L of water too so that also wouldn't help. No exercise as I'm still trying to shake this cold off. Our supermarket shelves were bare when I went yesterday afternoon - no TP, soaps, potatoes, bread, pasta, rice, tissues, canned vegetables, flour, ready-to-make packet meals, cheese, milk...nothing. This was Wednesday afternoon. Our store gets one delivery a week, on Tuesdays. So I don't expect to find anything on the shelves for the next week, which is ridiculous. What's happening, as the cities stock out, people are coming further and further out into the rural areas to wipe our shelves clean too. Their stores get deliveries daily, but they can't wait that long. I don't know what I'm going to feed my one year old toddler by the end of the week, unless they happen to get another delivery in (which they have to pay the freight for, so they won't do that as they don't make enough profit to cover it). I really don't understand how people can be so selfish. It's not a production issue, there is plenty of product available, it's just distribution is the issue - they can't keep the deliveries up to the stores because the demand is increasing exponentially! People are literally panicking over nothing. They're panicking because the media is telling them to. I wish the media would just stop covering all of this and just report the statistics and whereabouts of the virus, nothing more. It's so stupid, people being worried that something is going to stock out, so they buy as much as they can, causing it to stock out. If everyone just stuck to their normal buying, it wouldn't even be an issue but no, people are selfish and greedy.
Sorry for the rant, I'm just extremely frustrated with people.
03/20 | 133.1kg | +0.4kg | Wrong direction! It's just water weight, obviously, but I'm not sure what's caused it. Maybe sodium. I didn't drink enough water the last couple of days too. Feeling anxious and sad, and that leads to poor decisions for me usually. Hubby bought a lasagne for dinner last night, normally we would split it and eat half each, but I did split my share in half and ate it with a salad (bringing the leftovers for my lunch today with a salad). So that's another small win in the 'smaller portions' dinner plan.
03/21 | 133.3kg | +0.2kg
03/22 | 133.5kg | +0.2kg
03/23 | 133.5kg | No change | Sorry, I have been a bit AWOL this weekend. I just didn't get online to MFP at all, but I did keep weighing in. Weight still rising, which I know is from poor choices and overeating and anxiety and lack of sleep and no exercise whatsoever. I've gone off the rails with everything happening. I'm in Australia, and our state is just starting to close "non-essential" services as of today (so pubs, restaurants, clubs etc. - basically anywhere that people gather together because people have been ignoring the "social distancing" recommendations and have been packing into clubs and onto beaches). I'm not sure what this means for my work situation as I should be able to work from home, but it's all up in the air at the moment!
03/24 | 133.3kg | -0.2kg | Dropped some/all of the excess water weight so that's good. Still feeling extremely anxious, but went to bed at a good time last night and managed to get a good sleep which I think makes a huge difference. Still fighting this cold that doesn't seem to want to go away, will be interesting to see if I'm sent home from work or not. The policy is supposed to be to stay home if any symptoms, but last week I was told it was up to me. I asked my boss about working from home, he said it didn't sound promising but he'd ask. I'm waiting to hear back from him, but I'm really hoping it's a yes!
03/15 | 133.0kg | -0.3kg | That's looking better. I have been better about my snacking, but not getting as much water in with the cooler weather here. On the bright side, I've been approved to work from home, though I'm not sure when it's starting and to start with it's "on a short term basis to be reviewed" - which I take to mean they don't trust that I will actually do the work from home. Nice to know I'm so trusted after working here for 8 years!
03/26 |132.8kg | -0.2kg | Keeping on keeping on! Still struggling with the last bit of this cold that I can't seem to budge. Today is my first day working from home, it's on a 14-day trial basis and then reassess. What I got from the conversation with my manager is that they don't want everyone doing it (even though the government has stated if you can work from home, you should) as they don't trust everyone! So I'm not to advertise the fact I'm working from home as then others will want to as well. It's a ridiculous excuse, if you can't trust your employees to do the work from home, then you should have other employees. It's not like they monitor what we do through the day on site, and simply being on site doesn't mean you're working! Oh well, at least I can be at home where it's safe and have less chance of bringing the virus here.
03/27 | 132.6kg | -0.2kg | Not sure that I deserve this drop but I’ll take it. Hubby brought home doughnuts and I cannot resist! Have had wayyyyy too much sugar lately, it needs to stop!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/18 134.4 – 7.08 miles walked yesterday, met up with sisters for afternoon tea.
03/19 134.2 – rain all day yesterday meant only managed to walk 4.83 miles, kept eating well under control though so 218 calories in credit, but carbs over.
03/20 134.2 – 6.47 miles walked yesterday. C-19 ? Biggest problem here in my area of the UK is stupid people stockpiling, shelves are cleared of TP, nappies, long life milk, flour, pasta, rice, long life milk, frozen veggies, basically anything with a long shelf life!! WHY ?? If everyone just shops as normal there is plenty for everyone. Schools shut for everyone except children of key workers from end of today. All over 70's are self isolating for 12 weeks & all public gatherings have been stopped. I am standing by and prepared to help with fetching & carrying, walking dogs etc. for anyone self isolating – I've not been called on yet. I think it's the media's approach that is causing the panics, so there have been minimum deaths so far here, far less than from other ailments, so why stockpile? Luckily, we're not on lock down; if I couldn't get out and walk I would go crazy, I really hope it doesn't come to that!!! Stay calm everyone and shop as normal.
03/21 134.8 – 5.5 miles walked yesterday, spent majority of day at my elderly housebound & in early stages of dementia MIL's, took her some essential supplies to find her just sitting in her chair staring at a blank TV screen. “They've switched our electricity off, have they switched yours off?” She had not had a hot drink or eaten although she does have cold food available there. So after checking the neighbours was on, using their microwave to give her a hot meal and cup of tea, I started to try to get the power back on. Made some phone calls to power company and BIL & finally established that the cooker socket was tripping out the power. All this took time, but so glad to get everything back on. Gently chastised her to phone us if it happens again, but as she is stone deaf & has lost her hearing aids !!!!! She was due to be reassessed for new ones yesterday, but the home appointment was cancelled as she is in the very vulnerable group. She also will not accept any carers & lots of help of us her family too, she gets very annoyed at us thinking we are interfering and taking her independence away, thing is she is not capable of doing much anyway it's like walking on eggshells and very frustrating as we really want to help!
03/22 134.8 – 8.46 miles walked yesterday locally in lovely spring sunshine even if it was a little nippy! Happy Mother's day to all other mothers out there, stay safe and keep washing your hands. Meeting up with my DD, SIL & GSs at a park where we can safely meet up – at the required metre distance! It's our GS's 2nd birthday tomorrow. Our DS is in self isolation after siting next to a colleague at the start of last week with suspected but unconfirmed C-19, so only phone contact with him at the moment. Thankfully he's not showing any symptoms. Crazy crazy times.
03/23 134.8 – 7.3 miles walked. A totally different & bizarre Mother's day yesterday, DS 'phoned from his self isolation, met our DD & family outdoors in the spring sunshine, we each took a picnic; they sat on one bench, we sat on another!!
03/24 134 – 11.39 miles walked yesterday, 821 calories in credit and all other macros in green – a good day yesterday.:). So we in the UK are in lock down, luckily we are allowed to go out once a day to exercise, so I shall have to do my walking all in one go. I wanted to do my bit to help feed the nation and as I am fit & healthy, but not working, so at the weekend I put my name forward at our local supermarket for a temp. contract to re-stock shelves and have an interview this am; however, my DH expressed his concerns at me being more exposed to potential carriers of the virus & we have his elderly very vulnerable DM that we have to give regular care & attention to – she refuses to have carers in, Upshot is that I have agreed that I will cancel the interview, I am disappointed but we have to think of our families health too, he is being sensible. At least I shall be giving blood this pm, so still doing my bit for the community. When will this end? So worrying, keep safe everyone.
03/25 133.6 – 9.3 miles walked yesterday, outside was very quiet – everyone crossing the street if they met anyone to more than keep the obligatory distance apart, other than when I gave blood, obviously impossible to keep a distance when the blood carer is taking the blood! But all other precautions taken and constantly wiping everything down with anti-bac wipes. More obvious police patrols. Calories 315 in credit & all other macros in green.
03/26 134.2 – 8.67 miles walked yesterday, everywhere so quite, just the odd other person out taking their allowed daily exercise and crossing the street to avoid being in anything like close contact!! Surreal!! 447 calories in credit & all macros in green. Keep safe everyone x.
03/27 134.2 – 8.61 miles walked yesterday, 801 calories in credit, all macros in green. 0.6 pounds down from end of last round, I'm pleased with this. Took part in the Clap for the NHS last night, it was so emotional!! Trying to hit the supermarket this am for weekly shop & to also get MIL's shopping for week, expecting to have to queue to get in, will do what I have to and just keep calm – we're all in this together!
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE.

I believe it’s stress. I’m a nurse and on the front lines in the er and icu . So far no corona in our hospital but it’s still stressful. I am getting a hip replacement on the 25 th so more stress but I’m continuing to try to stay on plan.
03/19 255
03/20 255 surgery is still on.
03/21 252.4
well the surgery is now off. I was waiting for the other shoe to drop. I have to call my short term disability and rescind that and get back to work. We are tentatively scheduled for May 6. My surgeon felt bad but it’s out of his hands. Our hospital system has 28 hospitals and over 750 icu beds and not one patient with the virus but the government is forcing them too. I do understand but having none on bone pain and knowing I have to endure another 5 weeks just stinks.
03/22 250.8
03/23 249.8
03/24 249.8
03/25 248.2. Glad it’s dropping. Today would have been my surgery for getting my hip fixed. Thanks covid 😡. We are tentatively scheduled for April 29 . It could be earlier but as soon as the ban is lifted I’m my surgeons first case. So I can’t take my nsaids just Tylenol which is not cutting it. I plan on sticking with my healthy eating because that is the only thing I can control at this point.

@jamfullhouse - are you stilll allowed to go to someones house for a beverage? You are in the lucky minority - you savour it !! [/quote]
Yes, just suppose to stay in groups less than 10 and be smart but no real punishment if you are not. Us ladies don't go anywhere but together once a week for shopping but my husband works still in a place like a gas station but it's way more than that, alot of mechanic work and agronomy products, and another's husband is a farmer and very active and having a very hard time laying low but we figure when they start showing signs we will quarantine ourselves then. Though many including my husband think they have already had this go through here the middle of February. Lots of pneumonia cases and my husband said the flu he had was right up there to when he had west nile which was really bad and so was this flu that went through over a month ago. Which in this area we have a lot of farmers take there vacation after Christmas and were coming back the end of January beginning of February and now the snowbirds are coming back and not laying low at all but we will not know here because testing is almost nonexistent, you have to be basically hospitalized before being tested. But maybe it's not the virus, maybe it was something else, hoping it was though and already done in this area. I noticed still no toilet paper here or flour at the stores.
P.S. I live in North Dakota and our population is not much per mile, so social distancing is not very hard but we also are use to driving 45 to 60 miles to "town" for groceries so we can really spread it around with the distances traveled.

03/18 - 156.1 - Almost gave up on trying anymore yesterday, so much work and effort for such slow results. Re-motivated today.
03/19 - 155.4 - Slept in today, that likely helped with the scale.
03/20 - 156.5 - Ribs. I had better not have them again for 3 months.
03/21 - 157.2 - The rise continues. Not as motivated right now. My workouts have been on point, but not my eating.
03/22 - 157.8 - I had better try and get rid of this.
03/23 - 156.6 - Better. Continuing to burn lots of calories through exercise/hiking each day, back to moderating food.
03/24 - 156.0 - Back on track. Much harder to take off than put on.
03/15 - 156.3
03/26 - 156.0 - One more day for this 10, motivation to be "good"
