Replies
-
Starting weight is 242 as of 4/25. Goals for this ten day challenge: Walk at least 20 minutes every day, log food, avoid sugar and alcohol and the usual empty calories, take my meds every day on schedule, and drink my water. With those goals, my target weight for this cycle is 237.
Day/Weight/Comment
04/27 -- Forgot to weigh in. Not a great start! Goals: walk: yes, 1 hour; log food: yes, ate my exercise calories though; empty calories: some, but progress; meds: yes; water: yes 10 cups and counting.
04/28 -- Weight 242.0, no change. I'm not worried, with correct behavior the weight will come off in time. Goals - walk: yes, 80 minutes log food: yes, under calories; empty calories: limited; meds: yes; water: yes, 10 cups.
04/29 -- Weight 240.6, down 1.4; Goals - walk: yes, 60 minutes; log food: yes, 500 calories under once you add the exercise calories; empty calories: limited; meds: yes; water: yes, 9 cups and counting
04/30 -- Weight 239.8, down .8; Goals - walk: sort of, 30 minutes in a grocery store.... weather too crappy to walk outside; log food: yes, and if I estimated portions correctly on my chinese take out I stayed under target, but barely; empty calories: yes, moderate; meds: yes; water: yes, 8 cups so far. Today was a bit of a splurge, will get things back in complete order tomorrow. Will probably pay a price for the Chinese food, though.

05/03 -- Weight 239.0; Goals - walk: sort of, I cut grass for an hour and did 30 minutes of yard work so I'll count it; log food: yes, 300 under; empty calories: about 100; meds: yes; water: 11 and counting.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 112 (round 44 for me ) I'm in for another round – just keep going! As always; thank you GrandmaJackie, such a champion particularly in these challenging times, helping to keep some stability in our lives, for setting up these challenges.
Female age 62 5' 4”
Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
Goal – end lower than started......again! - aim to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, really want to keep this 10 days binge free! Keep calm, wash hands, be kind and follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus.End of round 69 134.2 lbsKeep calm – we're all in this together!

Day/Weight/Comment
04/27 134.2 - 8.84 miles walked. 307 calories in credit, carbs 6 in red.
04/28 133.6 – 9.29 miles walked yesterday, 458 calories in credit, but carbs 5g over, will try to get that under control today. Getting outside for a walk today will be a challenge as rain forecast all day.
04/29 133.2 – no rainless windows to walk yesterday
, still I managed to keep within my calorie allowance despite not having any additional exercise 
; 147 calories in credit, just 1 g over on carbs.
04/30 133.2 – 10.89 miles walked yesterday – made up for the day before!! 571 calories in credit, all macros in green.
05/01 132.4 – YAY !! a new lowest number this year, so chuffed! Will it stay down? 10.16 miles walked yesterday, calories 664 in credit other macros well in green.
05/02 132.4 – wow, stayed at the new number! Wanted late night snack last night, really wanted to hit the chocolate, but thought of that number encouraged me to just have a pear. Walked 10.4 miles yesterday, 379 calories in credit, all other macros in green.
05/03 134 – whoops! Normal fluctuation? 9.63 walked yesterday with DH to local animal petting farm – it was closed as we expected due to lock down, but the paths and woods round about were not. We had a lovely time wandering around enjoying the bluebells and the wildlife, almost seemed like normality to be out in the countryside again!! It was good to rediscover such an oasis within walking distance of home, I think we might do that walk in reverse today it was so up lifting. Friday, Saturday & Sunday are always more of an eating challenge; Saturday is pizza night, but still in calories, also indulged in cream & jam scone and a glass of cider in the sun in the garden after the walk. 90 calories in credit, but carbs 40 over – ouch!!
05/04 133.4 – 9.26 miles walked yesterday, enjoyed Saturdays walk so much that we decided to do it again yesterday but in reverse! Enjoyed the bluebells and wildlife in the woods just as much, finally worked out how to add photos to my post to share with you! Just 21 calories in credit, fat 19g over, all other macros in green.
Sorry it's so large; not managed how to make it smaller yet!!

Ready for round 112 {49th for me}
OSW 88KG
RSW 60.50 kg (-27. 50kg) or {60 lbs}
Goal... Wish I knew! I'd like to lose 1 more kg permanently but that seems very difficult right now
04/27 60.95kg after run and workouts
04/28 60.10kg...that was some workout and run!
04/29 60.15kg
04/30 60.15kg after workout and run

05/04 60.50kg yesterday was an OMAD day with a huge barbecue meal for lunch. Back to the workout and run this morning.

04/27: 258
04/28: 256–Just starting back up so 2 pounds of water weight I’m sure.
04/29: 253–Still mostly water weight. Hoping I can stay motivated now since I probably won’t lose anymore for several days.
04/30: 253.6–I expected this. No surprise here. This is where I usually lose my motivation though, so hoping that doesn’t happen this time.
05/01: 254.6–I was under my calorie goal yesterday but ate way too much sodium. Lots of water today and hopefully this “gain” will be gone tomorrow.
05/02: 252.8–Water weight is gone and I even had Dairy Queen for dinner last night! And instead of just throwing caution to the wind when I got there to order which is what I would usually do, I picked something that fit into what calories I had left. I can honestly say I’ve never even considered ordering a mini size blizzard before yesterday lol. Baby steps!

04/29 - 145.5 - I've been weighing but not posting. I'm going to try to get my act together this round.
04/30 - 145.5 - At least it's not going up. I need to start drinking more water.
05/01 - 146.5 - I think this is the scale catching up with my comfort eating the past month. I had to quarantine myself a few weeks ago due to an exposure at my office. My husband started quarantining himself on Monday due to an exposure at his office. This will probably be the new normal for us so I'm going to have to get the eating under control. My husband's part of the house includes all the exercise equipment, so I'm going to have to start walking around the house to burn some calories.
05/02 - 145.5 - I did some cleaning and yard work today. My eating wasn't great, but it felt good to get outside and get some exercise.

Round 110 SW 154.6 EW 151.4 -3.2
04/27 - 156.6 Somethings not right with my scale. I put over 5 lbs on overnight? I worked really hard yesterday and I feel super swollen, and while I didn't track calories I certainly didn't binge yesterday. I guess that's why I'm here...
04/28 -155.6 Down a lb from yesterday, but still so confused that I jumped 5 lbs yesterday. My hands are still swollen from the post hole digging 2 days ago. Hoping that at least a couple of these pounds are water weight. rode and ran.
04/29 -155.4 This is so frustrating. How am I back in the 155 range still. I feel like I've been watching my calories so tightly and yet have nothing to show for it. Feeling really disheartened. I was in the 155 range in February it's almost May and I never hard core fell off the wagon... Sigh
04/30 -152.8 Whew! I was seriously starting lose faith. I'm going to hope that it was mostly water weight due to the intense work that building a horse stall required. Just have to remember to stay the course.
05/01 -152 Nice. I would like to at least make it back to my end weight of last round, but we'll see.
05/02 -153 Not sure why I'm back up. I didn't go over calories
05/03 -153
05/04 -152.4 I would expect. I worked outside a ton over the weekend.

Round 112 Goal: Try not to focus on the fact I'm playing catch-up after going totally off track for 3 to 4 weeks and gaining back 7.2 pounds (180.6). To stay motivated, I need to celebrate the fact I stopped the downward spiral, and be happy with each pound I lose even if it's the second time around. AND quit obsessing over the fact I gained 7 pounds back and just get on with it

05/04: 176.7 Goodbye 177s, I won't miss you at all and hope to NEVER see you again!! Back on IF for past week. I've stopped eating after 4pm by staying busy and away from the kitchen, and since I'm never hungry in the mornings, I'm able to fast 18+ hours. Fasting and staying off sugar has made my cravings subside a lot, and fasting just helps me slowly not concentrate on food as much, which was a surprise benefit to fasting that I didn't expect when I first started it years ago. It's nice to be reminded of that again and why it helps me so much. It's a beautiful day here in southern Maine. Maybe I'll ride by the ocean later even if I can't get out and walk. Being by the water or just seeing the ocean lifts my spirit so much! I hope you have the best day you can have considering this absolutely crazy time we're all living thru.

Day/Weight/Comment
Quarantine has not been kind; I've been out of control. But honestly, I lost control about a year ago, just not to the degree that quarantine has driven it. Trying this again to get back in the groove. No.More.Excuses!
04/30–176--Baby steps beginning today, right? Back to work on what I know is good for me.
05/01–174—I figured yesterday’s uptick was salt and expected a drop, but am SO thankful for it. I did hit my water goal yesterday, which I haven’t been doing consistently for months. Yesterday doesn’t make it consistent, but it’s a start back in the right direction. Did well with food choices too. I’m slightly encouraged by the feeling that, for one day at least, I was able to be back in control of what I put in my freaking mouth!
05/02–173.4—Got in all my water yesterday, did well with food, and also got in two miles of walking after dinner. Steps: 11,206. Yesterday felt good, and a comment that @quiltingjane made was dead on—One Day at a Time. I think it’s clear that I’m a food addict and have been my whole life. I’ve had a relapse over the last 8-10 months, but it’s time to give up those bad habits again and make new ones like I had done before. I did it once. I can do it again.
05/03–173.4—Holding my own on a Saturday is a win!
05/04–174—I’m ok with this considering I made strawberry preserves yesterday and it’s the end of the weekend. Now to press on for two more days to see what I can do to maintain/increase control and work on my mindset. It feels so GOOD to be back in this group! Thank you to all who keep it going round after round.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/27 DNW today. I live with my in-laws and the scale vanished from the bathroom because I think my sister in law used it to weigh her cat. So I took that as a sign from the universe to just wait until tomorrow morning. I didn’t sleep so great and woke up at 4AM wide awake, so I’m hoping that doesn’t affect my appetite too much today. I’m hoping to be down from 125.2 tomorrow morning. It was a weekend filled with birthday dinners for my husband but I did manage to stay relatively close to calorie goals. Last night I probably went over by about 150 or so, which isn’t a killer. I also focused on drinking more water yesterday but lacked enough fiber. So drinking a good amount of water and getting enough fiber today is my goal today!
04/28 124.4 Down back into the 124 range. Dipped last round to 124 and bounced back up to 125.6 then down to 125.2 I think it was, which I concluded was due to water weight. I was excited today to see I’m back in the 124 range. I also had a NSV today by upping my daily pushups from 3 sets of 20 reps to 3 sets of 25 push ups. I’ve been doing pushups every day for a week and a half or more and feel like I have already seen a difference in muscle definition 😊. I had remembered reading in the past that your arms are one of the muscle groups you can see a change in relatively quickly. So that was nice to notice yesterday and today 😊.
04/29 124.4 Stayed the same and I’m good with that. It’s been a great day so far, our morning walk was almost 4 miles around our neighborhood. The sun was shining, and it finally felt a little bit like spring again after the rains we had on Sunday and Monday. I even spotted some violets on my walk. Yesterday was a good day food wise and I have today’s menu mapped out and I’ll be pretty close to my calories with two glasses of wine included. (The wine is to celebrate my husband finishing up his semester of grad school. 😊)
04/30 124.4 Stayed the same. Yesterday was a good day and I didn’t even end up drinking last night so I woke up feeling pretty good today. I find my body is sensitive to alcohol and even a glass or two will affect my sleep and the way I feel the next day. I guess it’s a blessing in a way because it makes me want to drink less. This morning I decided to give my muscles a rest and didn’t do my daily push-ups and air squats. I did get in a 3 mile walk this morning before the rain started, so I feel like I’m off to a good start for the day. I’m also looking forward to this weekend. It’s supposed to be 70 on Sunday! Yippee!!
05/01 124.0 Yay! Back to 124 😊. I ate well yesterday and about ¾ of the way through my dinner I decided I wasn’t satisfied so I wrapped it up and decided that I would eat something else to satisfy me. I ended up finishing my dinner with weighed out dried mango and apricots. My dinner was yummy though, it was kale gnocchi from Trader Joe’s mixed with a touch of their canned tomato sauce and 1 cup of their red pepper and tomato soup. I think I’m having a hard time with the 1200 calories and like when I exercise because I eat a little more and feel more satisfied. When I have to stick with 1200 calories, I feel like my meals are pretty small. We haven’t been going out to get food and only getting it delivered from Imperfect Foods, so I haven’t been able to get all of the produce I would like to volume wise. The produce is great from them but my family has been extremely careful with everything coming into the house. So having a ton of produce delivered is a bit of a chore because we are washing everything all at once and it takes like an hour to get it all done. I guess you could say I’m being lazy… because I am. I can’t wait for the days to be normal again and I can go to the store and buy whatever produce I want and not feel as though everything is contaminated. Sorry if that was a little ranty.
05/02 124.0 Yay, still at 124! Yesterday was good food wise, I’m really enjoying weighing my food to know how much I’m putting in my body. For my breakfast yesterday I made myself a chocolate protein mug cake that was divine. It helped my chocolate craving and didn’t get dry or have a weird texture. So that was a solid win. Today was a beautiful day and a good one food wise as well. I intermittent fasted until 11ish today ad started my day with a pineapple beet smoothie and two slices of sprouted cinnamon raisin toast and a smidgen of butter. Then we had baked chicken parm with brown rice and quinoa pasta.
05/03 122.8 I’m so excited! I beat my round goal and I’m so happy! I feel so good despite getting stung five times yesterday while tending our honey bees. I love the way my body feels right now and I don’t have that fluffy feeling in and around my belly/hips area. This was a nice number to wake up to. The last time I was in the 122’s was when I had the flu in February and wasn’t eating for like a week... so naturally that weight came back when I started to feel better and eat. Now I’m eating well and got to that number in a healthy way. I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday!
05/04 122.8 Whoop! Maintained the loss for another day! Yesterday was so nice out! Although I wasn’t super active because I wanted to let my body heal a bit after the stings on Saturday. Food wise though, I was great. I started my day with a blueberry, orange, banana and kale smoothie at 11AM. Then for a snack sized lunch I had some whole wheat cous cous with spices mixed in with a big glass of water. Then, for dinner I made a really yummy thin crust pizza with red sauce, mozzarella and romano cheese, broccoli, onion, bell and jalapeno peppers. I also sprinkled on this Italian sofrito spice mix from a holiday spice set from Trader Joes. I’ll be so sad when it runs out (it was a seasonal item), I’ll have to try to make my own version of it. All of this food was within my calories for the day, so that was a nice win! I loved it too because I was able to eat the entire pizza thanks to watching the foods I ate earlier in the day! Today also started out well with a 3.6 mile walk this morning and my daily mini exercise routine. Have an awesome day everyone!

5/1 161.0 lbs. I know this number will creep up all weekend as again, I snacked all day with the grandkids, sort of boredom snacked during naps, it's hard to do much else at someone else's house. My DIL doesn't like people doing stuff to help out, very independent, I could wash dishes but not much else. Lot's of chasing the 23 month old and 7 month old but not much steps really. Lots of reading to them. Grateful for the opportunity but it's good to be home and get back on track. Going grocery shopping with the ladies today.
5/2/162.6 lbs. 1500 calories, 11,000 steps, IF 16 hours
5/3 160.0 lbs 1200 calories, 20,000 steps IF 16 hours
5/4 160.6 lbs 1400 calories, 18,000 steps IF 16 hours, back pain from watching grandkids and yard work might slow me down today and of course the rain.11 -

@UTMom81 I think that's great you're addressing your mindset this round! It really is a challenge to develop and maintain a healthy relationship with food. It's so hard because food is obviously essential for life and so much of it tastes so good... it makes it hard to stop when your brain is sending signals to make you feel good from the food and another part of your brain knows that you shouldn't be eating so much. Have a fabulous day and always remember to take it a day at a time!7 -

@HoopsGuy72 When I started this JGM10D journey, I think I was more careful because I didn’t want to let the group down. Back then I planned on doing these challenges I didn’t count on getting addicted to the group! You can do this - we have faith in you!4

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: Stay in 50’s
Drink plenty of water.
RSW-157. RGW-154
5/1-157-Lots going on. Too much comfort food and not enough walking. I’ve been weed eating and cleaning up around our new house. There is a lot of chunks of concrete and plaster that I want to throw in the dump trailer before it leaves. I also want to get as much as I can done, before the movers show up with all of the boxes so I can stay inside and unpack. Hoping for a final inspection today.
5/2-154-Ate wisely and did lots of yard work and drank a ton of water.
5/3-156
5/4-154-I have a dr. appointment tomorrow and want to be lower.11 -

Thai food yesterday. 🌶 I stayed away from the caloric curries, but even so, lots of sodium in stir fry. Overall calories were in line, though, so whatever. I launched my “new” business yesterday — actually long-time business teaching writing classes, workshops, mentees, but now online and on my own, not through the university or school system. 📚✍🏼👩💻Wish me luck! Have a lovely weekend, all. Happy May Day! 🌷💐🌸
5/2/20 - 182
Gorgeous weather! I’m planning a couple of walks (one at a nearby park to see the wildflowers) and at least an hour in the garden. I have to do some baking and delivery over the next few days — our Unitarian-Universalist congregation) is doing a “thinking of and missing you” thingy for staff and members who are home alone through all this. I have four, so bread in the oven for our piano guy. I guess I’ll do one a day unless I resort to a big batch of cookies or a couple of quick breads. I think it’s a lovely way to reach out and “hug” at a distance. Have a lovely Saturday!
5/3/20 - 184
Well, crap. I was a little high yesterday, but 2 lbs? I didn’t even sample any of my baking yesterday. Clearly my body thinks it should weigh 180-185. I think not. I’m pretty ticked off at myself for letting this happen. Harumph.
5/4/20 - 182.4
I spent lots of time in the garden yesterday — gorgeous day, hit 82 degrees. A little cooler today, but perfect for more gardening and a nice walk. I’m going to see how things are at one of the parks — we went Sat. and it was full of people, and exactly 2 were wearing masks around others: me and my husband. I don’t get it. So if crowded again, I’ll find another pretty place to walk.

Thank you @GrandmaJackie
I live in the UK - aged 48 - with hubby and two daughters age 12 and 17 - other 4 (step) kids all grown up and left home and we also have 6 grandkids (aged between 1 and 7). Came back to this in round 110
R110 - Start weight 155.0lb End weight 152.3lb Round Loss 2.7lb
R111 - Start weight 152.3lb End Weight 146.8lb Round loss 5.5lb
Round goal - keep tracking, keep losing and get out for my 10k steps walk in the evenings (working from home at the minute so desk bound most of the day) and keep active at the weekends with doing stuff round the house. Had a big loss last round - so hoping to stabilise a bit this round and finish in the 145's so a loss of around 1.5lb would be good
04/27 - 148.4lb (+1.6lb) Yesterday's weight was a very unexpected loss showing a loss on 1.8lb which came out of nowhere. I also had a full on day yesterday with a lot of heavy gardening, a "Bring Your Parent to Cheer" hour long Zoom training session and a Sunday roast with homemade by my daughters apple crumble (albeit it all within calories but still more food than I would normally eat in the evening!
Today's weigh in still means I've lost over the weekend so still happy
And wow was the cheer session tough! I was ok with the warm-up part as regularly have PT Sessions at the gym, but the stunting part was tough!!! As for tumble - I couldn't do a cartwheel at 15 so no chance at 50!!! Although did manage the forward rolls and a sort of handstand! :
And we were only doing level 1 stuff! My kids are level 4 and level 6 - those girls are strong!!!
04/28 - 146.9lb (-1.5lb) Back down again so maybe Sunday wasn't a fluke and I can blame yesterday on our lovely Sunday roast! Hubby likely to be home late tonight or tomorrow having been away for 5 weeks so we are likely to have date night when he gets home (with an M&S Dine in for two meal) but he's fed up with the food he's managed to get while away (no restaurants open obviously, so been living on take out deliveries and a very limited room service menu) and desperate for healthy colourful food and veggies so not a problem when he gets home to stick with what I'm doing.
Onwards and downwards towards 145
04/29 - 146.1lb (-0.8lb) Another day another drop - please let me find away to bottle up this motivation
I am very excited today - Hubby will be home later today after 5 weeks working away so its date night tonight (an M&S Dine in for Two for those in the UK!) - so I will be having cheese and biscuits for dessert and we will have a bottle of wine and I will enjoy every mouthful The rest of my day will be spot on though.
I know the scale will be up tomorrow morning as a result but I'll know why, I'll take it and I will be back on track first thing tomorrow.
Have a great Wednesday everyone - I know I will!
04/30 - 148.7lb (+2.6lb) 2.6lb of cheese to be honest no hugs needed! A lovely evening catching up with hubby - very chilled and worth every part of the 2.6lb 
But I'm strictly back to it today so should see this disappear again in the next day or two
???????????????????????????????HOW IS IT MAY ALREADY ???????????????????????????????????????
05/01 - 147.9lb (-0.8lb) 0.8lb of my Wednesday evening cheese fest gone All back on track yesterday and all within calories with no problem and didn't feel the need to stay off plan - happy to get back to it after an evening off so that is definitely a win! So hoping to be back to the 146's very soon and get to my round target of the 145's
05/02 - 146.4lb (-1.5lb) and basically back to where I was as expected after a couple of days. Raclette grill is coming out for dinner tonight - love this way of cooking and eating as a family as very sociable, never rushed and with hubby home its a lovely way to all catch up. Just intend to be good and not overdo the cheese
05/03 -
05/04 - 147.8lb (+1.4lb) Well that's what an English roast dinner on a Sunday evening does to the scales! Not overindulgent - just quantity of food and a glass of red. Very usual for my weight to be up on a Monday. Not concerned that this is "real" weight gain and back to normal today so weight will drop over the next two days for round end. Ended the last round at 146.8lb so just want to be lower than that

Hi There!! I'm Tisha...about 3.5 years ago I started with MFP to get some weight off, 45 kind of hit me hard. One of the tools I used at that time was this here "give me 10 days" thread which I started posting on in probably round 2 or 3, it really helped. I lost 40 lbs and was probably in the best shape I've ever been in...and then life hit the fan (Dad got sick, knee injury, a few other life changes) and over the last 2 years I've managed to put back on 38 of the 40lbs I lost. Yesterday I woke up and said to myself enough is enough, you did this once before you can do it again, and I logged back into MFP!! This morning I checked to see if this thread was still active and low and behold all of you daily loggers are keeping it going!! So I'm back!!!
48F/5'5"
SW: 182.2lbs
GW: 140lbs
04/27: 182.2
04/28: 179.8 - probably a result of limited carbs yesterday and the water I was conscious to get in me.
04/29: 180.0
04/30: 179.8 - Power went out last night right after dinner so we had a candle lit games night with the boys....had a couple of beers, so this isn't bad.
05/01: 179.4 - We had crappy weather yesterday but I took the dog for a walk in the rain and did a 20 minute work out video with one of my boys. It was National Oatmeal Cookie day so of course I had to taste test our celebratory baking LOL...but I made really good breakfast and Lunch choices so I could splurge a bit on dinner and cookies.
05/02: 180.8 - BLEH! Not nearly enough water and a salty dinner yesterday...but I did take the dog for an awesome hike.
05/03: 181 - forgot to post
05/04: 180.8 - Weekends are hard enough even without the TOM cravings bleh!! We went for a great 5km hike yesterday and got a lot of work done in the garden. Going to stick harder to the plan this week! May the 4th be with you!!!

Day/Weight/Comment
04/27: 179.2 (Yay for a one pound drop on a Monday. Hoping for the weight to start falling off from TOM. I did a workout last night and made a salad for dinner.)
04/28: 177.4 (I’m happy to see this. I had a very tough workout that involved a lot of stationary squats. My body is a bit sore from that workout. I ate to plan and had a good day at work with minimal stress.)
04/29: 176.0 (I made some amazing strawberry cheesecake crepes for dinner last night and I was so nervous I would gain a bit, but I think I’m in some sort of whoosh moment. It fell within my calories but when you’re having something so good that’s “bad” it kinda makes me feel like the scale would go up. Not sure if they makes sense 😅)
04/30: 175.8 (A new low for me! Finally after 7 months! It was making me nervous to step on the scale to see what it was, but my next goal is to reach that 173!)
05/01: 175.2 (An even newer low! I had a relaxing night after my work day ended and my husband FINALLY got his unemployment debit card after filing on March 20th, so the stress from weeks of waiting finally lifted off my shoulders.)
05/02: 177.6
05/03: 180.0
05/04: 180.6 (I was wondering why I was gaining so much. I usually do during the weekend, but not this much. Just looked at my calendar and I’m ovulating tomorrow, so that makes sense. I hope everyone had an amazing weekend!)

@SheilaBoneham, I have not read the mask guidelines of every state, but here in Maryland, the public spaces are stores and pharmacies where you would be in closer contact with people.
In open air public spaces it's not necessary to wear a mask, but advisable to carry one with you in case you encounter people while outdoors. So, probably the people in the park enjoying the weather and being outdoors figured, we're in open air space and don't need a mask. Mask wearing keeps others from breathing your exhalations, but mask wearing also keeps you from getting enough oxygen. Uncrowded spaces are going to be harder to find the warmer the weather gets. People are tired of being cooped up at home. All these virus mandates are actually lowering reasonably healthy people's immune systems. People are so afraid of contracting Covid19 that they are overusing, antibacterials, hand sanitizer and disinfectants, which in itself is harmful.
We all will get this virus, just a matter of time. Best things to do, get fresh air, stress less, eat as well as you can, strengthen your immune system. ❤6 -

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.

4/27 119.5 Very surprised because I made a rotisserie chicken yesterday and ate most of the super salty skin. YUM!
4/28 120.5 No problem still well below goal. Six weeks since the governor closed everything
4/29 120.5 Apparently I got caught up in life yesterday and didn’t read the board. Bad experience at Walmart grocery pick up. Girl refused to put on mask, young man (employee) said he was going to “kick your *kitten*” to my husband who was outraged by the girls attitude. Today we are supposed to have a record breaking high for April, 102 degrees!
4/30 119.5 Well, I ate very strangely yesterday. A lot more veggies than usual and an adequate amount of protein. But when I got on the scale this morning it said 109.0 - I haven’t been that light since I was 4’6” in 5th grade! - I knew that was wrong. I got on 3 times and finally got a reasonable weight. May be time for a new battery! TWC app says we hit 100 in our area yesterday but the official temp fell short of the record. Another chance today - it was 82 at 7:30 this morning but it’s cloudy now.
5/1 118.5 73 at 5:35AM Windows and door open
5/2 118.0 I just wasn’t hungry. We had a nice salad for dinner with ham, chicken, cheeses, and eggs. Our daughter and son-in-law #2 remarried yesterday evening. A friend set up a Zoom meeting so friends and family could watch.
5/3 118.0 I seem to have lost interest in food. Could be the lockdown, could be the heat.
5/4 118.0 Different Walmart and very pleasant pick up!8 -
M, 48, 5'11"
OSW: 245.0 (sometime in 2015)
RSW/RSBF%: 238.4/20.6 (4/26/2020)
UGW: 199.9
Goal for the round: 7.5 lbs (not expecting this to be sustainable)
Weight/BF%/Comment:
04/27: 237.0 (-1.4)/20.4 (-0.2)
04/28: 236.6 (-0.4)/20.3 (-0.1)
04/29: 235.6 (-1.0)/20.2 (-0.1)
04/30: 233.2 (-2.4)/19.9 (-0.3)
05/01: 232.0 (-1.2)/19.8 (-0.1). Hi everybody. I've missed you all, and this place. I've been trying to dip my toe back into the idea of getting myself healthy again, with little success. It's frustrating to have gotten (again) so close to my all-time highest weight. Every time this happens (my relapse), I initially (for a while, actually) beat myself up for getting into this place again. It's easy to forget how stressful life is right now for just about everyone, and how it might be a decent idea to give myself a break. Especially when I look in the mirror. I've been tracking my food successfully now for a few days, but not being able to go to the gym or play basketball has significantly inhibited my ability to perform enjoyable exercise activities. I bought some home gym equipment (rowing machine and sliding gravity weight-lifting machine) at the beginning of COVID-19 lockdown, but my motivation to use it has been sporadic.
05/02: 230.8 (-1.2)/19.7 (-0.1). Six days in, 7.6 lbs and 0.9 BF% down. I still don't think this is sustainable (check that... I KNOW this is not sustainable), but already my massive gut (from 4/26) is looking better. I know that it will be harder to notice a difference later, so I'm appreciative of this moment, where things are moving fast and it's easy to see. I've been doing really well at staying within my calorie goal each day, even with "splurges." Last night I had a beer with dinner, but I planned on that earlier in the day by reducing my snack intake. It's early, and there will still be ups and downs, but being here works (community support and friendship). Counting calories works. There's simply no reason for me NOT to be here. I like being here. AND I love all of you for being here, too. I'm going to work on integrating some exercise into my daily life at home.
05/03: 230.2 (-0.6)/19.6 (-0.1). I was over my calories by about 300 yesterday, though I tend to overestimate my food intake a bit (purposely). My alcohol and "crap" intake(s) have decreased dramatically since I've been back; I think it has a lot to do with simply tracking my food. So far, so good. I'm feeling lazy today.
05/04: 230.6 (+0.4)/19.7 (+0.1). I was slightly over calories again yesterday (~220). To put it in perspective, though, my calorie goal is set to 500 below "maintenance," so "over" is still under maintenance, as long as it's less than 500 calories. Now, the weigh-in: it's my first "positive" weigh-in since I've been back. It's not heart-breaking (it can be sometimes, and has been in the past); I don't feel deflated. When I'm in a "good place," this is how it goes. Day-to-day "snapshots" don't matter as much as trends, but paying attention (being mindful) moment-to-moment (every meal, even every bite) is INCREDIBLY important.

Mask wearing doesn’t really deprive you of oxygen as I had read somewhere over the weekend (on Facebook) Doctors and nurses wear masks for entire shifts without “getting dizzy and weak.” And their N95 masks are much tighter fitting than any we make.
I can’t believe another round is almost over!!!5 -
