Day/Weight/Comment
3/28: 140.0 (+1.4) – How does one gain a pound and half in one day you ask? Hmmm. I’d love to blame the scale. My scale does seem to jump around but tbh, I ate crappy in the afternoon and evening. Popcorn, candy, several glasses of wine on the deck because the weather was nice. Then dinner was take out Japanese bento with sushi, beef bulgogi, tempura vegetables. So much salt and unheathly. It’s a new challenge, new week, new day. So time to move on from yesterday’s mistakes.💪

3/29: 139.2 (-.8) Did a really nice long bike ride and listened to a very good video from a doctor about dealing with Covid. And then had Italian for dinner. Nice quiet night.

3/30: 139.8 (+.6) The flux are due to choices – food, salt, snacking, drinking, sweets. I know it. Now what choice am I going to make to get back on track this week? Eating well, moving my body, drinking water, self care. April is going to last forever!🙄

3/31: 138.2 (-1.6) Weighed twice. Reset scale. No idea. Nuff said……

4/1: 138.6 (+.4) Did a 15 mile bike ride. Ate ok but had some ice cream. It was so good.

Goals

Goal for this round, stay healthy, eat healthy, 10.000 steps, and on the emotional side write my diary every day.

03/28 – 154.6
03/29 – 155.6 (+1.0) Yesterday was a depressing day so I think I’m going to put it behind me and aim for a better day today. I’m aiming for 10.000 steps and 30 mins cardio on the stationary bike, maybe a run around the block with my daughter this afternoon which is the most we’re allowed to do here.
03/30 153.6 (-2.0) 1360 cal, 10623 steps. I’m quite happy with that loss especially as I did cave in for some chocolate that I have around the house but otherwise a pretty good day. I didn’t get a high cardio workout but I did a 3-mile walk (from you tube) and later that day I did a “parkour” run in my apartment, I’ll be doing it again later and try to get my daughter involved! I’m avoiding any high impact workout as I have had to stop all immunotherapy treatments for my RA as I was sick, so my joints are a bit achy. I’ve done a daily schedule of things to do but I’m finding it a bit hard to follow lol
03/31 154.4 (+0.8) 9861 steps, didn't track calories. It was the "did not track calories" that messed things up yesterday! I started by keeping track in my head thinking I'd put into MFP later and then got a craving for chocolate and it went downhill... but the chocolate was good lol However I did a 3 mile walk workout in my living room and a weight routine as well. Today I'm aiming to log ALL my food!

04/01 155.0 (+0.6) nearly didn't weigh this morning, yesterday ended up being a bored emotional binge day, not very proud. I did get a lot of other things done (online studying, sewing, kids homework) but food ended up being where I got the most comfort. Around 9pm I had enough of my pity party and went running 3 times around the block with my daughter. Today is a little better, but I'll admit that the situation is starting to get me down. I need to stop watching the news...

@jamfullhouse, Thank you for your post concerning farmers and ranchers. Some people just don't think beyond the supermarket. Food insecurity is very real for everyone. You must consider the food sources and the people behind feeding the world. Please continue your updates.❤

@matratazola, the very sad thing about it is, the hoarding didn't have to go past the first day. This virus is laying wide open the worst nature of humans. The hoarding puts eyes on fear, panic and greed, also corporate greed.

Round 109

Please join us! Starting on 03/28 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 109
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.

SW: 158.7
GW: 156

Day/Weight/Comment
03/28 158.7 ~ {Steps 8,927} ~ I’ll be home this round so I’m going to have to figure out a new normal of exercising before going to my daughters.
03/29 159.8 ~ {Steps 18,031} ~ We took a long drive and ate lunch at Burger Master, delicious burgers,I did a lettuce wrap with two patties and bacon, yummy. We also had a late dinner. No worries about my weight...... Hence my weight gain, on the bright side I actually got an excellent workout in plus was under my calorie goal.
03/30 157.8 ~ {Steps 8,965} ~ Today was an extremely hard day since besides the morning it rained most of the day. I call it a win though since I didn’t eat my emotions at night.
03/31 157.3 ~ {Steps 17,633} ~ Today was better then yesterday, especially since it didn’t rain most of the day, organized our living room helped!
04/01 156.8 ~ {Steps TBD} ~

Hi, I’m Karen and I’m in my 50’s
OSW-187 Sept. 2018

Walk +/- 7 miles 4 x week. Goal Weight this Round: 152
Drink plenty of water, alcohol on weekends
SW-54

3/28-154-I know it will take me a long time to get out of the 150’s. I haven’t weighed this little in over 10 years. I’m keeping myself busy quilting, cleaning and walking during this time. This stay at home thing isn’t bad for a quilter. I just like going to the quilt shop for the social aspect; most Quilter’s have a “stash” of fabric and projects. A lot of them are making face masks, as long as they have elastic. I started my first day of “physical therapy “ yesterday at the chiropractor; a young guy smashed into the back of my car as I was coming to a stop a few days ago. I believe this will be an easy fix, it will just take time. By yesterday, I was able to walk about 4 miles and I will get back into sewing today. It’s all part of life. Glad to see all of you here!💚☕️
3/29-156-comfort food yesterday, but got all 7 miles in and my lower back is sore this morning. Glad to be in 150’s. It’s all good.
3/30-154-Careful eating, but no walk. Hmmmm. A walk for sure today...It’s Monday, here we go!☕️
3/31-157- Made creamed spinach; it has bacon, had salmon too....and some chocolate. Back on the wagon today!
4/1-156-Whew! Friends delivered BBQ’ed chicken and biscuits-real comfort food. Today I’ll make chicken & dumplings.

Round 109 – Goals – To lose 2 lbs and maintain the loss. Drink 64 oz of water each day.
Best of luck to everyone. It is a challenge worth taking and remember the most important aspect is health and wellbeing!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/28 – 175.0 – Decent week but still need water
03/29 – 176.2 – Saturday indulgence shows on the scale
3/30 – 176.2 – Drinking water is my priority today. That will help with the overeating as well. Here is to a great day for all.
03/31 – 175.0 – Continue with drinking water goal and eat more vegetables. I have my sights on 173.0 I can do this.
04/01 – 174.6 – A bit closer to goal. Still need to drink more water. I can get the 48 oz in but fail on the last 24….

Round 108: Mar 27 EW:192.0 (-1.2)

Day/Weight/Comment
03/28 192.0 grr I’m tired of seeing this number. I mean I was WAY under on calories, they were almost all high quality calories, plus I had the best run in years. I’m still hoping this is hormonal and will release all at once in a few days.

03/29 191.8 all I can think is my body is getting too efficient. Doing the same things most days, under for calories, but zero weight lost in the last 7 days. I keep saying I need to mix it up but now I have to commit to that with some planning

03/30 191.2 finally some trend down. Overall not huge movement, but better than I’ve been doing. Cross fingers this keeps going.

03/31 191.6

04/01 191.4 too busy yesterday to post, but I did weigh. 10 days later, same number. I would really hate to think these are my maintenance calories, but it’s hard to chock this up to hormones any longer. If it’s a factor of staying indoors to work—how do work from home folks cope? I’m actually not overeating, I’m always green on calories. I weigh and measure. I’m still getting out for daily exercise, I just don’t get the same daily movement of getting from meeting room to meeting room. (I commute to my kitchen...and it’s much closer to my desk than the break room or bathrooms at work are!) I’m going to give it a few days longer then move up to maintenance calories just in case it’s a factor of eating too little (doesn’t feel like it, but who knows).

@tiabirdie56 I had typed a lengthy reply which just vanished. My final comment was that if this virus doesn’t kill me, the separation might. I’ve barely been out of the house since March 15 - our last eating out experience.

quiltingjaine

@tiabirdie56 Still the information is not cited. In your other post you shared a link from the CDC and questioned them and I question anything WHO says due to their leader being from a country that wants a huge amount of money from China. Everyone should do there own research (from reputable sources, if there actually are any) and draw their own conclusions-not rely on anecdotal information passed around.

tiabirdie56

@quiltingjaine, ❤{{{big hugs}}} I know our situation is difficult. We miss socializing with friends and family, even random conversations with strangers. I hope that you and your husband are taking advantage of video calls with family and friends. It's not the same as a touch, hug or kiss, but the connection helps alleviate the isolation. My Grands, 3 & 6 years old, call me almost every morning during their breakfast and we talk about what they will do during the day. Sometimes they call, because they want me to watch them play😄 My granddaughter says she wants to see me, not on video call.😢 We will get through this, but our lives are changed and will remain so.
Psalm 91, the most calming and reassuring Psalm that I know.

Yes, I agree. EVERYONE should do their own research. I don't believe we are being told all of the information that is known, by CDC, WHO, NIH or any federal agency. I am certain it would create total chaos amongst the masses if we were to know everything, but I like knowing the truth. Better to know the truth than be in a state of turmoil.

Keep reading and watching international news.

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.

Still no local cases here, but our state is essentially in lockdown - only allowed out of the house to do essential shopping/business, work etc. so I'm glad to be working from home. My work is still not really taking it seriously, as I am one of only 3-4 people who have been allowed to work from home (others may be able to if they ask, but management are avoiding doing a proper risk assessment which would result in scores of people working remotely, since they can't monitor that work properly. In other news, had to take my little one to the emergency room yesterday - he is 15 months old, and only started walking maybe a month ago, but decided he could try running. It did not end well - he fell over on the pavers outside and hit his head pretty hard. He has a big egg on his head and some bruising, but no signs of concussion (yet) - talk about giving his mama a heart attack though!

03/27 …..203.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

03/28 …..203.5 ….. Finished my raking yesterday which helped me drop a bit on the scale. My diet was less food but bad choices still. Everyday is a new start. I am hopeful for today.
Good luck everyone on this round.

03/29 …..203.5 ….. Ahhh…The more things change the more they stay the same. I honestly thought I would see a drop on the scale, a reward of sorts, because my diet was improved. However, my calorie burn was almost non-existent so I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised. Today is another chance to make myself healthier in every way! For everyone that is shut-in, enjoy your family, pets, that book you’ve been wanting to read, that really good movie and/or that project you’ve been meaning to finish. I am thinking of you all! Have a safe and wonderful day everyone!


03/30 …..203.5 ….. Day 3 exactly the same. I guess I am not making enough changes, but then again, I kind of already knew that, didn’t I???? No changes in my choices, no changes on the scale. Go figure!

03/31 …..203.5 ….. Still no change. I increased my steps yesterday. Improved my diet somewhat (again) but still not quite on point. Today I will begin a new strategy. I have already logged all the food I plan on eating. If I stick to the blueprint, I will be back on my way to success and health. And good health and immunity is something we could all use at this time! It usually takes me about 3 days to get my body to stop screaming for sugar, carbs and all the other things I need to limit so I am hoping for best for the next 3 days (and beyond). Ground zero.

04/01 …..203.2 ….. I pre-logged yesterday to have a blueprint to follow since my discipline has been pretty bad. I did go back and change it up a bit choosing some not as healthy over more of the healthy, but overall, I stayed within my overall goals pretty well. Today, I will try to stick to the healthier choices. The sugar-free ice cream bars are all gone now. Down 0.3 so I am feeling pretty good about that.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/28 - 356.0 - I conducted a little experiment. I live near Philly, where we are known for our cheesesteaks. Lots of shredded meat, cheese, some fried onions and mushrooms, all slapped on a roll. So I bought one yesterday. But while I ate it, I also drank my ACV drink. I wanted to see if the ACV would affect my insulin and fat storage. Now I admit I don't quite understand the biomechanics well, but my calorie intake for yesterday was only 300 under my daily normal intake. But my weight loss was 1.4 lbs. I don't want to do this too often, but when I did our weekly shopping (the ONLY time I am around anyone during this quarantine), mom asked for donuts from our Amish farmer's market. Imagine pie filling (apple, strawberry, etc.) injected into a dough roll. One for mom, one for me. I'll be trying the ACV before eating mine. But I have been using the ACV before I eat my processed carbs and it seems to decrease/affect my insulin and weight loss for the positive. Anecdotal experiment, I know.
03/29 - 356.3 - That'll teach me for eating finger food for dinner. Egg rolls, taquitos and potstickers. WAY overdid it. Very tasty, though.
03/30 - 356.3 - No change... and weird. My calories were short by almost 700 yet no move down. Now I'm confused. I'll just stay the course and hope it corrects in the next few days.
03/31 - 356.1 - Slight downtick. I'm wondering if this is my first plateau. If so, I don't like it. I want to move down. Just kidding. I stopped my ACV for a couple of days and suddenly I've stopped. I've got to simply stick with what has worked and not play around with it. On a good note for substituting foods, I picked up some cauliflower crust pizzas to replace the standard flour and water. Still take Mom for an early morning walk and then my own walk. And two of the last three days I'm adding a kettelbell workout in. Slow, small steps are what get us there. Not dramatic changes that we can't sustain. My opinion. Everyone stay safe!
04/01 - 355.5 - Stumbled across a YouTube video yesterday talking about taking cold showers. I thought it was an early April Fool's joke, but after watching it and the links to others, I saw several important health benefits to it. Two that I think could help most of us on this site. First, cold showers help with weight loss. Apparently, by forcing the body temp lower, it causes us to shiver, which burns fat. Now, they say it only burns UP TO 9 lbs. a year, but every little bit helps. Second, where a hot shower opens the pores and allows things into the skin that don't belong. Cold showers close the pores and prevent impurities in. What impurities? How about those things like bacteria that cause pimples, sores, etc. So, I tried it. I started with a luke warm shower and gradually made it colder and colder. Refreshing, and not as difficult as you might think.

Round 109 - March 28 to April 6
Female, 5’, 67 years. SW – 165.6 (this is a blip up), GW – 163 something, UGW – 140.
Goals: continue with 12 hr. IF, complete my tracking every day and get some kind of outdoor exercise unless it is raining. That could be spring yard work or walking. 3x a week – either gym exercises I can do at home or other (like fitness video). Reminded again by my weight at the beginning of this round that I must get in the movement.
Day/Weight/Comment
03/28 – 165.6 – Couldn’t believe this at first as I’ve been 163/164 for most of the last round. Then I thought about it and realized – extra ice cream (1 cup vs my usual ½ cup), extra oat scone last night, mainly sitting the last week with very little exercise, etc. … all little things but they add up. I did go for a walk last evening which felt great, although man am I slow.
03/29 – 165 – IF 12 hrs., did not finish tracking. Raining outside so I did exercises while listening to a podcast instead of just sitting. Prepped the trim I need to paint – thought I would get it painted but my chatty granddaughter phoned. Happy to have the talk with her and likely better to give the arm a break after all the sanding.
03/30
03/31 – 164.4
04/01 – 164.4 – IF 12 hrs. Tracked everything. Not so great about getting on here but making good progress on the painting trim. LOTS of phone calls … even from people we haven’t heard from in ages - I think they are bored. Of course our kids want to check in on us as well. So this is all great but after while I let DH answer cause I was not going to get finished otherwise. More prep to do today. Started doing exercises in the evening if I’m watching Youtube.

I' m in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!

70 year 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.
