@deepwoodslady - thank you! I think he’s just the cutest, but I know I am biased! He’s almost the spitting image of my brother when he was little.

@wellnfree - I am learning more about being the mum of a boy, I will need to steel my heart I think!

FOCUS FOR THIS ROUND
Adjusting to working from home, trying to be more active.

GOALS THIS ROUND
- RGW 132.0kg
- 20 mins exercise 7/10 days
R109 SW 132.6kg

Day | Weight | Change | Comment

03/28 | 132.8kg | +0.2kg

03/29 | 132.7kg | -0.1kg | Sorry for the late start to the round, I always seem to struggle getting online on weekends! I haven’t been making good food choices, but portion sizes are down so that’s good. No exercise. Not enough water. I can do better than this! My brother in law has been tested for the virus, will get the results in a couple of days. If it’s positive, it’s the first case in our town and my sister will need to be quarantined (she’s a teacher). Waiting with bated breath!

03/30 | 132.8kg | +0.1kg | Much more of the same poor choices for the weekend. Guzzling the water today and hoping to make some better choices! No. Hope is not a management method. I WILL make some better choices! Still awaiting test results for my brother in law, no news yet.

03/31 | 133.0kg | +0.2kg

04/01 | 133.1kg | +0.1kg | More of the same poor choices. I've been eating too much bread and not enough veggies. Must do better. Brother in law has tested negative, so that's good! 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!

04/02 | 133.5kg | +0.4kg

04/03 | 133.6kg | +0.1kg

04/04 | DNW

04/05 | 134.0kg | +0.4kg | Sorry I have been AWOL the last few days. I am struggling a lot with staying on track. I am one of those people whose motivation drops off quickly and I go back to old habits. I need to develop some good new habits in this new environment.

🙂 I'm glad to be back for another round. Posting daily helps me stay accountable. I've missed a few rounds but I'm working my way back.

I ended Round108 at 166.6lbs

This time around I'll
- get down to165lbs or less and
- complete 1 full hr of exercise each day

It will happen as long as I stay on plan. I have everything I need on hand so No Excuses!

04/03 Too Crazy to Care!
I'm holding myself accountable for having done nothing I promised myself this round. Worse, this applies to every area of my life and not just health and wellness mini goals.

I feel Blessed that my immediate family has not been infected. However, my home town is at the epicenter of this thing and we all live within a short drive off where we grew up. Furthermore, I'm stuck 1000 miles away because I needed to attend to matters out of town. Normally I enjoy solitude and my own company but with this global pandemic I'm losing my isht!

Tomorrow I'll weigh in and attempt to post something both relevant and coherent. Thanks for allowing me to rant.

04/04. 171.4? I think

I weighed but neglected to record it so I'm just guessing at how far I've swung the wrong way. What I'm certain of is this is bad and it is the result of eating the worst things for me personally.

My head is still not on straight but I've regained calorie control. Recording everything I eat is key especially when I've gone astray.

I've got a way to go with my workout plan. This has always been the easiest thing for me but suddenly it's no longer a no brainier. That's troubling. Muscle tone feeds my vanity especially around my mid section. I need my waistline back.

Tomorrow I'll get a proper weight. By staying with my heaviest time of day for the record, there is no lying to myself.

Stay Safe
Stay Healthy
Stay HOME!

04/04 - 355.5 - I'm either stuck or my scale needs to have the batteries changed. There's no way I stay virtually the same for this long... unless I really have hit a plateau. It's ok if I have, just bummed because it's right before I hit the 50 lb. loss mark. I know... stay the course. Just frustrating.

It's *inspiring* and this is when keeping it up is more important than ever. There are so many factors, like increasing muscle mass, water retention, hormonal fluctuations --> that day to day you can't always see the bigger picture. It will all pay off in the long run.

Cheering you on!

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 know).

04/02 191.8 I’m just not believing these numbers. I really am not cheating myself in any way. And I’m getting in good movement. And realistically my stress doesn’t feel all that much worse than bad days at work usually do. I’m sure it’s in the background but it’s not driving me crazy or anything. This weekend I have to figure out something different to jolt out of this weight!

04/03 191.4 ok, I’m done with this. Switching up to maintenance calories this weekend. If I’m not going to lose (been this weight since March 22, almost 2 weeks without moving down) then I might as well try to actively maintain.

04/04 191.4 went up to maintenance calories and nailed the exact same weight. Not what I really want but at least no gain yet when eating more. Let’s see how this plays out.

Goal – end lower than started - aim to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges! Keep calm, washing hands, be kind and follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus.

Day/Weight/Comment

03/28 133.6 – 9 miles walked yesterday in my allowed daily exercise yesterday. 540 calories in credit, all macros in green. Managed to get all my supplies at the supermarket yesterday, only had to queue for 15 minutes to gain access, no hardship at all in the great scheme of things. Keep washing our hands !!
03/29 134.4 – 8 miles walked yesterday – 39 calories & 75 carbs over respectively. Had a lovely video conference call with DD, DS and little DGC, I miss them so much, but know needs must to keep us all safe.
03/30 133.2 – 7.41 miles walked yesterday, 397 calories in credit, all other macros in green, more protein and less carbs, I'm going to try to stick with that trend. Call out to our heroes, the NHS and those both in the food chain and benefit system, 4 of my siblings are involved in each of those areas, each are experiencing “difficulties” in their jobs at the moment not helped by the public at large who are giving them lots of verbal abuse which they don't need, they are experiencing so much stress already without that. Please be kind particularly to our key workers at this very difficult time.
03/31 133.2 – 9.87 miles walked yesterday, 666 calories in credit & all macros in green. Stay safe everyone.
04/01 134 – my fault – succumbed to chocolate last night although I did stay within calories. 10.3 miles walked yesterday, 240 calories in credit, 14 carbs over.
04/02 133 – 11.49 miles walked yesterday, a good day; 655 calories in credit, all macros in green.
04/03 133 – 9.15 miles walked yesterday, 392 calories in credit, 5 carbs over.
04/04 133 – 8.66 miles walked yesterday, 288 calories in credit, all macros in green.
04/05 135.2 - 8.4 miles walked yesterday, but got hit by the late night chocolate monster

. Must be extra strong today to compensate. Plan on having a garden bbq today as it is forecast to be a lovely warm sunny day. So,,,, today the balance of for our holiday in June in Menorca to celebrate DH's 60th birthday (he's my toy boy !) was taken from our credit card. We've spent much time debating as to whether we should stop this final payment, whether we will get our money back if it doesn't go ahead, we are doubtful that it will, but if we don't pay it we stand to lose what we've already paid. So it's done, we are covered by both ABTA & our credit card company, but ................ I know it's a small thing in the grand scheme of things compared to others great suffering and sacrifice at these unpresidented times, but it's human nature that we concentrate on our own particular circumstances! Hope your're all keeping well and safe

04/06
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE

. Keep calm – we're all in this together!

Super busy and I am loving the WW zoom meetings and my congregation zoom meetings too. But I hate staying home for so many reasons. I need to keep moving. Surprisingly my eating has been pretty good but because I am getting less than 3000 steps most days by weight loss has been wonky. But at least I am not binging while at home and I have made sure I have nothing to binge on even thought it has been so tempting to buy chips, brownies etc to snack on while at home. But I have my favorite fruits on standby.

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"

In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.

In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.

In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs

My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"

I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.

I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.

Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.

Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.

On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.

My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.

Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.

*One of my major goals is to get my BMI under 40 (260 weight) so I can have surgery on my knees *

Rainy Saturday here, with lots of wind, but in the 60s, so not all bad. The birdies in my yard are extremely busy — Mike the cat has lots to watch! I hope you all have engaging things to do, too.

3/29/20 - 180.6
Not surprised — we had pizza yesterday. DH had a craving.

We had storms and rain all day yesterday, but it’s 60F and sunny this morning. I’m going for a walk! Have a healthy Sunday, everyone.

3/30/20 - 180.2
I’ve clearly hit some sort of equilibrium as I’ve stayed within .8 of a pound since Feb. 13. Though not the weight I’m aiming for, I think this is good for my body/metabolism and I’m getting a good idea of my real maintenance calories. When the weather warms up again (cold again after a beautiful morning yesterday) and I get more exercise, I’ll lose again. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

3/31/20 - 180
Forgot to check in this morning! Busy day. I hope everyone is well.

4/1/20 - 180.8
Hmmm. Normal fluctuation, since I ate responsibly yesterday. It’s possible I’m not drinking enough water. But I have been doing much better about snacking! Pease and health to us all.

4/2/20. - 180
Sunny and cold this morning. I’m looking forward to real spring.

4/3/20 - 180
It warmed up to 64 yesterday — whee! I went for a nice long walk, and the trees are all ready to burst into bloom and/or leaf. Fabulous!

4/4/20. - 181
Bah, humbug! But ok, I did eat robustly yesterday, including a handful (big handful) of salty Triscuits and some popcorn later. But I did it mindfully! I also worked in the 🌹🌼🌺🌸🌻 for an hour, and DH and I went for a nice long stroll after dinner. Now to my 💻 to write for a couple hours. By then it should be warm enough for a walk. I have to brave the grocery store sometime soon — ugh. But I hate shopping in normal times, so not that different. Have a safe, creative, healthy Saturday, all.

4/5/20. - 181
No surprise — pizza yesterday, DH’s request. I didn’t eat much else, but.... I have a “shed it” menu planned for today. Have a lovely Sunday!

Day/Weight/Comment

03/28 160.0 lbs 1200 calories, 12,000 steps IF16 hours, it looks like for me to get under 160 I am going to have to get under a 1000 calories, not going to happen this weekend but will try a couple days next week and then hold hopefully. I can't do that long term.

03/29. 159.4 lbs. 1300 calories, 9500 steps, IF 16 hours. ummm I was not horrible yesterday but I enjoyed the 50,s we were having with a ice cream bar and drink outside because April fools day we are back in the 30’s. Surprised at this number.

03/30 160.0 lbs 1500 calories, 9500 steps, If 16 hours. LOL I new that was to good to stay but at least I know my scale goes that low. New week and I will try to get a couple days under 1000 calories to get and stay under 160's.

03/31 160.2 lbs 950 calories, 25,000 steps, IF 16 hours. Apparently I am paying for the weekend still.

04/01 159.0 lbs 1100 calories, 25,000 steps, IF 16 hours. YaY, I have been spring cleaning and getting ready for Graduation in June.

04/02 159.0 lbs 1100 calories, 11,000 steps, IF 16 hours.

04/03 158.6 lbs, 1000 calories, 8,000 steps, IF 16 hours. I am finding it really makes no difference what kind of exercise I get as long as my calories are under 1000 and limited carbs in the evening but that's hard. I am really getting tired of salads. We got over 3 inches of ice and snow on April Fools and it's depressing. Sigh...

04/04 160.6 lbs Hmmm.. Beer bread, spinach dip and beer and video calling with friends. Oh, well, it was so good to hear from everyone. At least I found out my scale isn't stuck on 160. LOL

04/05. 159.4 lbs, 1200 calories, 25,000 steps spring cleaning.

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.

And I'm trapped on my property. Last two days were rainy/stormy so I can't even entertain myself outside with fresh air. Temps dropped so couldn't even dance in the rain! Waaaah. Definitely making me want to emotionally eat (which I have a bit). I have to figure something out. Soon.

03/31 - Bit of a long update since I've been absent: Not pretty numbers. Between the quarantine (shelter in place in both work and home cities), unpacking/getting settled in, and working from home (hello, kitchen and BF who can cook amazingly), this is what I get. Started a garden as a reason to get outside at least once a day (though sometimes I take a break just to go stand on the porch). Rain/storms Thursday-next week which puts a damper on the walking trails idea we had for this weekend. BF works from home (all the time, not just quarantine) so he always is looking for ways to get out of the house and now I understand why. I miss the freedom to just go get fresh air and sunshine without concern of the virus. Bought salads for "work lunch" to try to get some veggies in. Steaks last night with homemade mashed potatoes and garlic asparagus (I was in charge of sides). Hopefully soon my order of imperfect produce will come in and I can start incorporating more fruits and veggies in. Will have to since I'm paying for them and BF requested I did it, despite him not being the biggest veggie person. He told me to get it, so he gets to deal with it haha He wants to lose weight as well now that he's on the computer at home all day. Once things calm down, he's going to fix up our friend's extra bike and go riding with him. I'll go on walks and do some at home stuff when I'm able to. My schedule will be tough. It's a 1.5hr drive with no traffic. With traffic its around 2hrs. I shouldn't hit traffic going to work, but will leaving work to come home. So 13-14.5hrs gone. Will have just enough time to eat dinner, shower, and pass out with 6hrs sleep. 7hrs if food is already done when I get home. Fridays and weekends I will be free to do whatever I want/need to, though, so I'll be working on making up for my workweek. Also going to try to do lunch walks at work just to get out of the office and get movement in if I have a quiet computer-based or meeting-based day. Any advice y'all have, I'll gladly take. Especially since I haven't been doing my IF (skipping breakfast) lately since BF cooks for us and I've had a rumbling belly by 8am. Once I'm working at the plant, I'll get back to that but until then, I need to figure something out. No idea how long I'll be at home, but the orders for San Antonio are valid until the 9th unless its extended. Now time to catch up on everybody's posts!
04/01 - Think my scale is playing an April's Fools joke 'cause I swore I'd be over 150 today. Had rice with gravy last night as part of dinner and probably had too much. Apparently my salad at lunch evened me out. Salad for today and tomorrow as well and I believe salad with dinner (pot luck style with our family here in TX - BF and I in charge of mac&cheese which will be my downfall). Going to try to do mini workouts throughout the day (squats, lunges, hip thrusts, etc) when I need a break from the computer. Hopefully this number will continue to drop, especially now that I'm back with y'all and posting. If nothing else, its like having a voice in my head telling me I'll be accountable to everyone here and it works!
04/02 - That's an unexpected surprise. Especially given I didn't have my usual lunch salad yesterday. Woke up with belly growling, though, despite my dinner being very filling and eaten later than I normally prefer (must get used to that -- won't have a choice but a late dinner once I start commuting). I didn't have my fitbit on so I don't know what I did right. Definitely wearing it today given its supposed to rain every day through next week starting today. Will need to force activity of some sort.
04/03 - Still baffled by my dropping but I'll take it. My day off today and its all rainy and stormy... wish I could get out of the house and do something but can't even take a walk for fresh air. Oh well, guess I'll have to figure something out.

04/04 389.4 (+0.2) - I hope everyone is doing OK and staying in. I am working from home and I swear I am working more! Super busy and I am loving the WW zoom meetings and my congregation zoom meetings too. But I hate staying home for so many reasons. I need to keep moving. Surprisingly my eating has been pretty good but because I am getting less than 3000 steps most days by weight loss has been wonky. But at least I am not binging while at home and I have made sure I have nothing to binge on even though it has been so tempting to buy chips, brownies etc. to snack on while at home. But I have my favorite fruits on standby.

04/05 391.8 (+2.4) – I hope this weight is wrong. I did not eat enough yesterday to gain that much weight. But there have been some days earlier this week I wondered why I did not gain or gain more. So, this may be a correction day. Lol Not sure. I did not drink enough water yesterday and had salty popcorn? No worries for me. Moving on. I am going to do a 1-mile DVD today to get my 2nd one in this week which is my goal. Sunday’s is my day to go out. I only go out one day a week during this medical emergency/natural disaster. Stay safe, stay healthy and stay home

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"

In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.

In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.

In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs

My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"

I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.

I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.

Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.

Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.

On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.

My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.

Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.

*One of my major goals is to get my BMI under 40 (260 weight) so I can have surgery on my knees *

03/29 …..203.5 …..
03/30 …..203.5 …..
03/31 …..203.5 ….. 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 choices, 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.
04/02 …..203.2 ….. Under cals but carbs a little higher than I’d hoped for. I over-reacted to a sugar drop and fast hunger. I handled it so-so.

04/03 …..203.1 ….. Finally, no severe glucose drop last night (after 3 of them this week). Sadly, I know why. It was the sugar I ate. I did very very very well all day until about 1:00 a.m. when I had a sugary (and unnecessary) snack that I shouldn’t have had. Otherwise, I KNOW the scale would have reflected an even bigger loss. However, anything is better than nothing! So far today, a great day again. However, it’s a challenge getting enough movement in. Paying bills today online for the business so a lot of sitting. Trying to get up every hour, get some steps in, burn more than what I’ll be eating. It is beautiful here today in Michigan. Sad because our Governor said in her conference yesterday that our shut-in will probably be extended beyond the current April 13th date. Thinking of you all……

04/04 …..203.1 ….. More of the same. I did very well yesterday but another late night snack due to cravings, not glucose drops. No gain, but it is definitely stopping my losses. Come on Donna! Get your butt together! Glucose is way too high this morning due to late night madness!

04/05 …..202.8 ….. Another morning of a severely high glucose level. These wild swings are crazy. Nighttime has been much better the last couple of nights with no severe drops. It seems to be either dangerously low or dangerously high. I can’t seem to find the sweet spot yet but I’m working on it. Yesterday my diet was on plan, I got in some exercise including a 33 minute dance set. Sample song, “You Sexy Thing” by Hot Chocolate. It rained all day and was cold. Today it is bright and sunny but very cold. Cabin cleaning day.

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.
4/2-158 Not enough walking. PT 3x/week. I’ll get more walking this weekend.
4/3-156
4/4-155
4/5-156-Glad to be in the 150’s. See all of you next round.😊

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.
04/02 - 355.8 - another minor uptick. Meh... I'm doing my early morning walk, but having trouble motivating myself to start lifting weights again.
04/03 - 355.5 - another small drop, back to Wednesday. But it was very windy this morning so I didn't go out for my walk.
04/04 - 355.5 - I'm either stuck or my scale needs to have the batteries changed. There's no way I stay virtually the same for this long... unless I really have hit a plateau. It's ok if I have, just bummed because it's right before I hit the 50 lb. loss mark. I know... stay the course. Just frustrating.
04/05 - 355.5 - A whole lotta nothing. Went for a longer walk this morning. Maybe I can use this to FINALLY light a fire under my *** and start lifting some weights.

R109 – Theme: Eat (Less!) 😏Pray (More)🙏 Love (Chocolate?)🍫

Goals in 2020: gain lean muscle mass, gain strength, improve running times, focus on macros esp protein goals, hit goal weight.

56 year young, female, 5' 7"ft

OSW 160.0 lbs
RSW 140.0 lbs
RGW 138 lbs (Something with an 8 in the number - focus on mindful eating and less stress snacking)
UGW 137.0 lbs (I want to gain muscle/going by jeans fit/ so this is just a #)

Past Rounds:

R101 1/17/20 EW: 148.2
R102: 1/27/20 EW: 149.0
R103: 2/06/20 EW: 147.0

R107: 3/17/20 EW: 138.8
R108:3/27/20 EW : 138.6

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 some ice cream. It was so good.

4/2: 138.0 (-.6) Cycled, worked, ate. These days are running together. Can it be 2021 yet?

4/3: 138.6 (+.6) not a great eating day….salty snack foods and candy. Did I mention wine?

4/4: 140 (+.4) Covid kid is home and we are eating all of his favorites. I will reaffirm my goals come Monday

4/5: 142 (+2.0) I highly doubt this is fat – very high sodium day yesterday, fast food, Mexican food, etc.

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.
04/02 – 165 – No IF since I had a handful of dried cranberries late in the evening. Did not track but quite sure I was within cals. However, my inner self just rebelled at doing more painting prep. and I sat and stitched most of the day. I love doing that but it’s not good for the body – my eyes and hand need a break and my body needs exercise, sigh. At least binge stitching is better that binge eating …
04/03 – 165
04/04 – 165.8 – Thought I had a really good day yesterday and the usual IF. Today will make myself track. I notice with my husband that he is eating way more now that he is stuck at home so maybe I’ve eaten more than I realized. We’ve had snow and rain since the beginning of this round but today is lovely so hoping to get in a walk.
04/05 – 164.8 – Ah, back down to something reasonable but not likely to make it to the 163’s this round. Busy day painting yesterday so didn’t get outside but did have the window open in the afternoon. Have my “Easter” ham in the oven today because just got so bored with what we were eating and thought ham would liven up this week’s menu. Definitely planning a walk with afternoon unless it’s hailing or something – kind of cold and grey out there right now.

TerriRichardson112 · April 2020

Looking forward:

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

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
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.

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!

MSWDiet · April 2020

🙂 I'm glad to be back for another round. Posting daily helps me stay accountable. I've missed a few rounds but I'm working my way back.

I ended Round108 at 166.6lbs

This time around I'll
- get down to165lbs or less and
- complete 1 full hr of exercise each day

It will happen as long as I stay on plan. I have everything I need on hand so No Excuses!

04/03 Too Crazy to Care!
I'm holding myself accountable for having done nothing I promised myself this round. Worse, this applies to every area of my life and not just health and wellness mini goals.

I feel Blessed that my immediate family has not been infected. However, my home town is at the epicenter of this thing and we all live within a short drive off where we grew up. Furthermore, I'm stuck 1000 miles away because I needed to attend to matters out of town. Normally I enjoy solitude and my own company but with this global pandemic I'm losing my isht!

Tomorrow I'll weigh in and attempt to post something both relevant and coherent. Thanks for allowing me to rant.

04/04. 171.4? I think
I weighed but neglected to record it so I'm just guessing at how far I've swung the wrong way. What I'm certain of is this is bad and it is the result of eating the worst things for me personally.

My head is still not on straight but I've regained calorie control. Recording everything I eat is key especially when I've gone astray.

I've got a way to go with my workout plan. This has always been the easiest thing for me but suddenly it's no longer a no brainier. That's troubling. Muscle tone feeds my vanity especially around my mid section. I need my waistline back.

Tomorrow I'll get a proper weight. By staying with my heaviest time of day for the record, there is no lying to myself.

04/05. 173.6
My sins are all on the scale. They are also apparent in the edema I'm carrying and the outcry my digestive tract is making.

Overnight nibbling blew up yesterday's calorie goal. So far today I've had loads of calories but little nutrition. I'm handling the remainder of today minute by minute in order to reign myself in.

I'm both bloated and feeling thirsty because of my poor diet and living the definition of lethargic over the past week. A swift and firm kick in the backside for me. Time to fake it until I feel it.

Lots of water. Protein first. Ditch the carbs. Avoid processed foods. Exercise with purpose. This is what's needed to regain control of my diet for life.

Stay Safe
Stay Healthy
Stay HOME!

FOCUS FOR THIS ROUND
Adjusting to working from home, trying to be more active.

GOALS THIS ROUND
- RGW 132.0kg
- 20 mins exercise 7/10 days
R109 SW 132.6kg

Day | Weight | Change | Comment

03/28 | 132.8kg | +0.2kg

03/29 | 132.7kg | -0.1kg | Sorry for the late start to the round, I always seem to struggle getting online on weekends! I haven’t been making good food choices, but portion sizes are down so that’s good. No exercise. Not enough water. I can do better than this! My brother in law has been tested for the virus, will get the results in a couple of days. If it’s positive, it’s the first case in our town and my sister will need to be quarantined (she’s a teacher). Waiting with bated breath!

03/30 | 132.8kg | +0.1kg | Much more of the same poor choices for the weekend. Guzzling the water today and hoping to make some better choices! No. Hope is not a management method. I WILL make some better choices! Still awaiting test results for my brother in law, no news yet.

03/31 | 133.0kg | +0.2kg

04/01 | 133.1kg | +0.1kg | More of the same poor choices. I've been eating too much bread and not enough veggies. Must do better. Brother in law has tested negative, so that's good! 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!

04/02 | 133.5kg | +0.4kg

04/03 | 133.6kg | +0.1kg

04/04 | DNW

04/05 | 134.0kg | +0.4kg | Sorry I have been AWOL the last few days. I am struggling a lot with staying on track. I am one of those people whose motivation drops off quickly and I go back to old habits. I need to develop some good new habits in this new environment.

04/06 | 134.0kg | No change | Actual scale read was about 1kg lower than yesterday, so I'm at least happy that it was mostly water weight that I was carrying. Today is Monday, and I've started my day well with a healthy breakfast and lots of water, and last night I set up an app that works on my phone & Apple watch to remind me every half hour to get up and move for 2 mins. So I'm just walking in place or doing squats/wall pushups/lunges etc. to keep active through the day. I am hopeful this will help me feel better even though it's not like a full, proper workout. I hope to feel less stiff and sore from sitting all day, and hope it will help me sleep better. It's the start of a plan, and I'm taking baby steps.

ROUND SUMMARY
I am disappointed in this round, to say the least, with a gain of 1.4kg. But I am forgiving myself for my poor choices in the last couple of weeks with all this additional anxiety and changes in regard to work arrangements. I know that I can do better, and I'm committing to myself that I will do better. See you all in Round 110!!

04/04 - 355.5 - I'm either stuck or my scale needs to have the batteries changed. There's no way I stay virtually the same for this long... unless I really have hit a plateau. It's ok if I have, just bummed because it's right before I hit the 50 lb. loss mark. I know... stay the course. Just frustrating.

It's *inspiring* and this is when keeping it up is more important than ever. There are so many factors, like increasing muscle mass, water retention, hormonal fluctuations --> that day to day you can't always see the bigger picture. It will all pay off in the long run.

Cheering you on!

Thank you!!!

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 109
