5'0 / 29 / Female
Starting Weight: 128.2
Round Goal Weight: 125
Goal Weight: 116
04/27 - 127.4
04/28 - Did not weigh myself since I stayed up all night and day.
04/29 - 126.3 Obviously the extra 100-200 cal over my cal goal on the 27th and then no sleep on the 28th didn't negatively affect my weightloss. I'm very happy about that. As long as I keep up a little bit of activity throughout the day, I should be able to include my nightly craving for extra sharp cheddar lol
04/30 - 126.3 I'm not too worried about the scale not moving. I ate popcorn last night and I use a grotesque amount of salt in mine lol As long as I drink lots of water today and continue as normal I'm sure the scale will drop tomorrow.
05/01 - 126.3 again. Yesterday I went waaay over my limit. I ate taco bell, Hawaiian pizza, but it mostly had to do with the entire bottle of wine I drank. Just happy I maintained instead of gained.
05/02 - 129.2 YIKES I ate almost 900 over my goal and went on a 2-mile run followed by a mile walk to cooldown. I'm hoping it'll go down and is mostly water along with food weight. Guess we'll see tomorrow.
05/03 - 128...maybe? I stepped on the scale and it was 129.2 Did it a couple of times, still 129.2. Then I tried it again and it went to 128, now it won't change from 128. Yesterday I met my calories goal, drank water, used the restroom, and I'm feeling mega bummed. I'm thinking I won't make my goal of 125 and that feels awful. I really sabotaged myself the last couple of days.
05/04 - 126.4 Yesterday I went for another 2-mile run and an almost-mile cool down walk. I also stayed within my calorie goal and drank a couple of big glasses of water. I am thinking of making running a more regular thing even though while I'm doing it I can't stand it lol afterwards I feel amazing though. Still unlikely that I will make it to my goal of 125 but that was all due to me overeating. That's a factor only I can change.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/27 - 349.0 - Maintained, and even dropped, the previous loss. Now solidly under 350. I haven't been this low since 2011. And I got in a pretty good kettlebell/TRXRip workout this morning.
04/28 - 349.7 - A little uptick after going over on my calories. I'm happy it stayed under 350, though.
04/29 - 348.5 - And the rollercoaster goes down again. The gradual downward trend continues. I did get in a good walk this morning, but weights will have to wait until this evening.
04/30 - 348.6 - Virtually no change. My avocados were still too hard/not ripe, so I made a bagel sandwich. Tastes great, but really WAY too many carb calories. While I'll prolly never by keto, I do know I have to keep may average carb intake to 200 g./ day. I did remember that during my highest weight loss drops, I was drinking water w/ sea salt before my morning walks/workouts. So, I started back with that this morning. I didn't realize how much more energetic I felt when having that drink to start my day. I've also added an electrolyte tab to it.
05/01 - 349.1 - No exercising =s a little rise in weight. Sometimes you just want those lazy days, though.
05/02 off
05/03 off
05/04 - 348.1 - Gone for a couple, but back in it strong this morning. Got in a good walk and then a good workout (weights and bands), too.

Thanks Jaine! You have always been (and continue to be) so amazingly supportive of/to me.
I've been thinking about what it is that keeps me away when I "disappear." I think I realized it's less about disappointing any of you than I realized. If any of you are upset with me, I'm sure it's much more likely due to me disappearing than it is to my current success regarding calorie counting/weight loss. It's not that I don't care what you think, because I really do.
When I stay away, I think it's because I don't want to look at myself. It's NEVER a decision that I make consciously, but I'm pretty sure that this is what is happening. When things are going well, weighing/posting every day keeps me accountable, and focused. When things aren't going so well, weighing/posting every day is a constant reminder of how much I'm failing.
Hmm. That's probably not the whole truth, either. When I feel overwhelmed, I don't want anyone to know. I'm a psychologist, and I know this sounds hilarious, but it almost comes down to me not wanting to burden any of you with my $#!+. Not that I have any urge to talk about my $#!+, necessarily. It's more like I don't want to bring the group down. I don't want my energy taking away from the positivity here. I have this fear that I might bring you down without even trying. When I say it out loud, it hardly even makes sense.
I'm feeling okay right now; heck, I'm actually feeling pretty good. I'm just thinking out loud.10 -

Round 112
Day/Weight/Comment
04/27 - 65.7kg, yay, back to where I was a few days ago, sticking to counting calories and walking
04/28 - 65.6kg, ate a "big" dinner which was not that comfortable even though within calorie limits...
04/29 - 65.3kg, a nice drop, most likely will not be sustainable through tomorrow and I'll see a bounce up
04/30 - 65.1kg, a delightful surprise this morning and well deserved because I've been so diligent :-)
05/01 - 65.1kg, thank goodness no bounce after eating what I thought was too much for dinner last night
05/02 - 64.9kg, made goal, but will there be a bounce? Yesterday was great for food choices.
05/03 - 65.3kg, no difference yesterday with eating well, didn't walk as much, should have had more water
05/04 - 64.7kg, I think I didn't weigh at the best time yesterday! Stuck with the plan and it paid off! 2 days to go
05/05 - 64.7kg, holding steady which is better than a bounce up and have hit goal so will wait for tomorrow :-)

Feels like i dropped more than just that, but that will do for now. Its miserable here today, but rain or shine, i set myself a walking challenge daily, so im off. Also, since its cold and all i want i nice warm hearty food, i will stick to proteins and fresh veg.
04/29 - 133.9 kg
I have to say i was not surprised. Have been drinking a lot of water past few days, so i am sure its part of it. Will be going for another walk today and will also start working on myself more. I used to do it before and it really helps not with the scales but toning body and smoother skin - heat massages! Yay!!!
04/30 - 133.5 kg
Finally its coming off! I must say self control is working well. Weighing yourself everyday makes me feel good, it reminds me of my old me - scales never lie and if i am not happy with what they show, i know i can only blame myself and that gives a good kick up the *kitten*!!! So for today i have something new to try - vibrating plates! Since cant see gyms open soon, i am getting what i miss and have it at home! Cant wait to try out and see if its same as gym ones!!! 🤞🏻
05/01 - 133.2kg
Feel lighter than scales show! Meals are fine, all within calorie limit and lower, dont feel hungry lately at all. Another walk today in the countryside.
Need extra challenge 🤔
05/02 - 134.2 kg
Now this it *^%* !!!! Also *^%%#**+*|**|**+* and *^^*%%%**** !!! I knew its coming as felt lighter than scales were showing and clothes are more loose, but loosing fat and toning muscles is not what i want to see on scales!!! And i will be honest, scales make a huge impact of the mood and motivation!! It takes a long time to see changes in the mirror when scales show opposite!! Anyways, its my birthday so no alcohol, no cakes, no big fat juicy pizza, noooo....gona go for a walk with the whole family, and sip water pretending its gin!!! 😂😂😂 My partners birthday is on tuesday and we both will be celebrating then, because everyone forgot mine is today 😁😁😁
05/03 - 134.2 kg
Did actually indulge in a bottle of wine last night and some greek grill! And i am not ashamed! That gods sent liquid went down better than water!!! But am paying the price - scales are stuck!!!
05/04 - 134.2 kg.
Still stuck! Had a great walk and kept my calories down, not snacked as been busy clearing thr garage! So fingers crossed tomorrow i can get some positivity and my scales will love me again!
It really can shut your motivation when weight creeps up! I know it happens as fat is butning and muscles are growing, but cmon... i want magic 😂😂😂😂😂

Pretty sure this is wrong. I’ve had problems with this scale in the past but compared it to my parent’s scale (which I consider gold standard) now that I am back at home. Haven’t compared in a few days and have a feeling it’s a little wacky! Will compare tomorrow

Looking forward:
I'm just too danged cussed to let this thing knock me back, and ruin all the effort I have put in to get here. I am stepping up my routine, and taking control. Sheltering in place means I can fully concentrate on getting in my exercise, and preparing healthy food.
- April: focus on maintaining and increasing my progress
- 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 goal: get back down to 160 ✅2020
2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ So far, so good.
That's a WIN in my book!
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/26 …..204.3….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND Weight was inflated due to travel & Chinese food the day before. Therefore, my hope is to lose a full 2 pounds (or more) this round to be at a 0.1 deficit (or more). If the travel yesterday caused suspected water weight, this, at minimum should be attainable.
04/27 …..203.2 ….. And there goes the water from the Chinese Food two days ago. Now, to work on the weight gain. Goal: 202.3 or less. I worked hard yesterday doing a mix-up of movement and exercise. Very sore knees over the past couple of days due to some of my exercise choices so I’m keeping an eye on that. I pray today will be a strong day. It is Sunny & beautiful today with no rain expected until after 8:00 PM tonight so I plan on taking advantage of that. I will be traveling tomorrow for carpeting about 200 miles away each way. Carpet sales were prohibited until May 1st so I’m getting my butt out there to get the 7 different pieces/sizes that I need. Good luck everyone on this round!
04/28 …..203.1 ….. Travel today. I expect the scale will be up tomorrow.
04/29 …..208.4 ….. Are you flipping kidding me????? Yes, I double-checked the scale several times. Travel yesterday consisted of no snacks, a light lunch and a small dinner I split into two portions (brought the other one home). High sodium Thai dinner with real rice (not cauliflower) so I know I’m retaining some water but this is crazy! I did eat the other half of the dinner at about 1:00 AM (about 3 hours before I went to bed). Today is cold, very gloomy and depressing with lots of rain. I will be indoors all day but I will be walking my hallways, using my ski machine etc. Lots of Parsley tea for me today! It was a long trip and when we arrived I could not even bring home the carpet. They did not have enough of the color/style I chose so they have ordered it precut in my sizes (I need 6 pieces). So next week will be another trip. Better choices next time!
04/30 …..207.9 ….. I peed all night so the water is shedding from the travel food. Traveling 3 times in the past week has made my journey a little rough this past week, but moving forward and soldiering on. I am going to work on some cleaning projects today in my house so I will try to stay fairly active but sorting clothing and going through paperwork does not involve a lot of steps so I will try to fit in some sets of other things. Yesterday I managed to burn an extra 858 calories with exercise. It is cold and rainy again here so I’ll be staying inside.
05/01 …..207.7 ….. This is not going down fast enough. It’s a beautiful day today. I hope to get some outside activities in, but because its Friday, I can’t leave the property (hoping for some business in the cabins, but things are still moving s.l.o.w. in Michigan. ) Have a great weekend everyone.
05/02 …..207.2 ….. Okay, a half pound whoosh! I don’t mean to be ungrateful, but I’ve got to get this train rolling under 200 or I’m going to pull my hair out! A beautiful day here (after a morning cloudy rain). I’ll try to do some outside stuff today but I need to stay near my office. Have a great Saturday everyone!
05/03 …..207.5 ….. This is what a glass of 2% milk looks like on me! Plenty of mixed exercise yesterday. Today is cabin cleaning, more yard work and maybe I can even fit in a walk. I would love to do some low carb prep cooking today but I don’t know if I can fit it in. We shall see. Anyway, I am inspired by all the progress I am seeing in so many of you. It really does help keep me on point. Enjoy your Sunday everyone!
05/04 …..205.7 ….. Crazy busy today so not much time to chat but what a wonderful result on the scale today!!!! I worked hard yesterday with diet & exercise. Today, my fitbit is on the fritz, it keeps flashing notifications on/notifications off. I’ve tried the restart fitbit process but it’s not working. It is a fitbit charge 2 (if anyone has any ideas, please post here or email me). In the meantime, I feel like I’ve been running all day but I have no idea of calories burned so I’m a bit sad about that. I’ll do my best to log the exercise with the MFP information.

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.

Thanks Jaine! You have always been (and continue to be) so amazingly supportive of/to me.
I've been thinking about what it is that keeps me away when I "disappear." I think I realized it's less about disappointing any of you than I realized. If any of you are upset with me, I'm sure it's much more likely due to me disappearing than it is to my current success regarding calorie counting/weight loss. It's not that I don't care what you think, because I really do.
When I stay away, I think it's because I don't want to look at myself. It's NEVER a decision that I make consciously, but I'm pretty sure that this is what is happening. When things are going well, weighing/posting every day keeps me accountable, and focused. When things aren't going so well, weighing/posting every day is a constant reminder of how much I'm failing.
Hmm. That's probably not the whole truth, either. When I feel overwhelmed, I don't want anyone to know. I'm a psychologist, and I know this sounds hilarious, but it almost comes down to me not wanting to burden any of you with my $#!+. Not that I have any urge to talk about my $#!+, necessarily. It's more like I don't want to bring the group down. I don't want my energy taking away from the positivity here. I have this fear that I might bring you down without even trying. When I say it out loud, it hardly even makes sense.
I'm feeling okay right now; heck, I'm actually feeling pretty good. I'm just thinking out loud.
Thanks for sharing, HoopGuy! I think your post is accurate in so many ways for more than just you. I totally agree with the part about not wanting to look carefully at yourself when things aren't going as planned--that constant reminder of failure. That's exactly what happens to me when I disappear.10 -

OSW: 240.9
GW: 190
Round GW: 238.3
Last weight 04/26 – 240.3. did 20 min. Jazzercise and Yoga.
04/27: 238.5 Jazzercise 20 min. Yoga 30 min. Homemade pizza for dinner—nervous about how to track it accurately.
04/28: 239.4 Jazzercise 20 min. Yoga 30 min. Late lunch at 2pm. Extremely stressful evening, probably didn’t eat as much as I normally would.
04/29: 238.4 Very bad insomnia last night. No workout. Work stress is extreme right now.
04/30: 237.2 Went to the office today for the first time in over a month. It felt good to get a change of scene and I’m feeling more positive about things. It’s scary to think about increased risk for getting sick with loosening restrictions. Mixed emotions. For some reason feeling encouraged today. Yoga 30 min. Jazzercise 20 min. Diet was not good quality. If anyone reads this and has any tips about how to become a morning exerciser before work let me know. I think it would really help me schedule wise, but I’ve never been able to drag myself out of bed early to do it.
05/01: 237.2 Really surprised this wasn’t a gain. Very bad insomnia last night. Maybe stress burns calories . No workout.
05/02: 237.2 28 min Jazzercise, 35 min. Yoga, 40 min. Walk
05/03: 237.2. Jazzercise 20 min., 35 min. Yoga. Stress continues to be high. 10 day streak of MFP tracking. Took progress photos today, which I have never really wanted to do before. They are definitely the “before” pictures, although I have been exercising consistently for 6 weeks, so maybe if I took them 6 weeks ago there would be some subtle difference. It has been really inspiring to see others' success story photos on here and I want to be able to post my own someday.
05/04: 237.2. Kinda weird scale has been exactly the same for 5 days. Definitely feel like my legs are getting stronger. When I started Yoga I really couldn’t do triangle pose, my body was so inflexible and out of whack. I feel like I am really able to do it now, so that is exciting! Feeling more positive and less terrified for some reason today.

Hi everyone!! 👋 I might only pop in once every few days but I am still here. Got outside for a walk with Mom today. (She got outside while I was working too.) It was one of her good days. We did 11+ mins and about 0.37mi before she ran out of steam and I got cold. Then I did 26 mins on our recumbent bike. (Started a new team challenge with my coworkers so I must NOT be at the bottom of the pile.) 🤣 Food has been so-so but the scale has been pretty decent. I am not going to complain. 🐢🐢11 -
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.
05/01 -- Happy May! Weight 240.2, plus .4; Goals - walk: yes, 80+ minutes with huge hills; log food: yes, under calories but ate half my exercise calories; empty calories: a few, not many; meds: yes; water: 10 plus.
05/02 -- Weight 238.6; Goals - walk: yes, 20 minutes; log food: yes, 300 calories under; empty calories: about 100; meds: yes; water: 9 +
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.
05/04 -- Weight 239.4. It is what it is, I am doing the right things so it is just a matter of waiting out my stubborn body! I am not concerned, it will happen in due course. Goals - walk: yes, 1 hour, it was a beautiful day! Log food: yep, 250 calories under; empty calories: 165, some of which was intentional to bring my blood sugar up twice today. A sure sign for me that I am eating better is low sugar, because my meds are calibrated for my crappy eating habits. I can adjust my meds to help avoid this as my eating and chemistry improve but when a low hits I need to add sugar. This is a good problem to have, as things go for me. Ah, the joy of diabetes! Meds: yes; water: yes, 10 and counting.

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.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!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
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 *

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.
05/05 134 - 9.42 miles walked yesterday. Went overboard on eating yesterday – 312 calories over. Endeavour to do better today!

Date | Weight | Comment
04/27 - 232 - Third round, hoping to be really consistent with exercise.
04/28 - 232 - Today has been ok with food but no exercise.
04/29 - 232 - Again no exercise today!! Right I’m determined for the rest of the week!!
04/30 - 231 - Still no exercise today!! I’m actually going to do it now!!
05/01 - 233 - I did work out through yesterday yay! Had a bit of a blowout with a pizza yesterday because I went back to my apartment for the first time since quarantine started (I’ve been at my parents house) so I think that has had an effect!
05/02 - 232 - Settling back down now into my ‘new’ space
05/03 - 229 - Really had my diet and water on point yesterday
05/04 - 230 - Not too bad today but still need to build exercise in my new routine
05/05 - 232 - I ate really late yesterday and I’ve not been exercising the last few days. I moved back from from my parents house a few days ago so I nearly need to crack it.8 -
I’m in!

04/27 - 134.7 expected this!
04/28 - 134.2
04/29 - 136.0 Doing a new routine which involves strength training and my body is sore. Today is rest day but trying to be in best behaviour when it comes to my diet! I am at work right now and there is this high calorie snack infront of me, makes me tempted to eat but I decided to take control and didn’t have it! Instead gave it to my friend to have it! Feeling good btw!
04/30 - 135.3
05/01 - 134.5 Glad with my progress! Hoping to keep this up! 😀
05/02 - 134.2
05/03 - 134.5
05/04 - 135.1
05/05 - 133.8 I ate some extra carbs for lunch, a larger amount of dessert for dinner(didn’t eat anything beyond that except for a mango), didn’t workout yesterday either and still there is a weight loss today?! I am myself so surprised with this scale!

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
05/05 - 147.2lb (-0.6lb) Down a bit so all in the right direction. Should be a good day today - food all planned just need to keep up with my water - forget when sitting here working from home in between (crazy busy ) work, helping kids with their school and college work and still dealing with household stuff too! Hoping for a 146 end......
One more day to the round end - stay focused everyone!

Round 112 SW: 176
Goal for 112: I'm not setting a number here. My goal is a new mindset right now.
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.
05/05–172.2—Wow! I’ll take that! It’s been a while since I’ve seen a Whoosh in the right direction. LOL. I was proud of my self-control yesterday. I ate well all day, allowed myself a small slice of fresh strawberry pie for which I had allotted calories, and got in my exercise. I am feeling more in control every day. I must admit, I thought about this group when tempted yesterday, and that little added motivation really helped. So thank you, everyone! Today’s challenge: my family wants homemade salmon dip and panini for dinner (I know, that’s an odd combination, but quarantine is getting to all of us I guess, LOL), so I’ll have to figure out how to make that work for me or how to avoid one altogether. Hope I don’t lose all of this morning’s Whoosh.

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
05/01 60.75kg is not going in the right direction
05/02 61.75kg which is serious. Nearly 2kg over maintenance. Back to basics time.
05/03 61.35kg getting better
05/04 60.50kg yesterday was an OMAD day with a huge barbecue meal for lunch. Back to the workout and run this morning.
05/05 59.95 kg just back inside maintenance. I need to keep on and hopefully get below the top end of maintenance.

05/05 - 151.7 - This weekend and yesterday was all over the place! I thought I'd stay up high with pizza last night but apparently my sodium craze plus DOMS Friday and Saturday was too much for the pizza last night and I dropped anyway. I'm quite okay with that, though sad I'm out of 140s by enough I don't think I'll make it back by tomorrow. My running/walking shoes finally made it in so I may (depending on how today goes with work) try to go for a walk and add jogging in where I feel comfortable. Friday we went kayaking and Saturday we spent literally ALL DAY at the lake so I was exhausted and sore as all get out. Yesterday I was still struggling with my muscles so I took another lazy day. Sunday was 100% lazy, didn't even get out of PJs. Today's focus is water and portion control. May need to run to the store as I promised this week I'd make some coconut lime shredded chicken tacos. Not sure if I'll make it for tonight or tomorrow. Now, time to catch up with everyone since my short absence!
Edit: I lost my fitbit and had to order a new one... Good news is that it gave me a chance to upgrade. Bad news, I didn't want to spend the money and I have to wait until tomorrow to get it ): (free 2 day shipping, thanks Mother's Day!)
05/06
Previous Day's Comments04/27 - I can handle this to start. I'd love to see 14x.x this round but time will tell. Especially since my weight has been jumping around, I want to see if my scale is okay and its not just me. Though, it may just be me afterall. Old batteries so guess I'll figure that out soon. My shoes have not yet shipped but with the virus and the weekend, I'm not surprised. Can't really run or walk much without them, though. Got a nice blister from walking the golf course yesterday with the boys learning how to play. Even though I didn't play, I really enjoyed it and once I learn (and get less frustrated with myself over it) I think I'm gonna be another one to the list of people I know who like to have a nice relaxing day at the course. No known plans today besides try not to nap (as much as I may wan to right now and I just woke up!). Need to hydrate horribly! Got more dehydrated and sunburn on the course than I did the beach Saturday!
04/28 - I ate a little more than I wanted to last night but BF made dinner and I held out until then. Think I ate a little too much there but it was soooooo good. Shoes still have not shipped and I'm honestly nervous that they won't ship until after I go back to commuting (meaning I only have the opportunity to walk Friday-Sunday). I guess that's better than nothing at all. I'm so sore from jetskis and golf trip somehow so I'm wondering if some weight is just DOMS. Another day, another chance to make changes for the better!
Edit: The girls and I decided each of us was going to meal prep lunches for the week and divide them amongst ourselves. Hard part meal prepping is having the same thing on repeat and since I commute the longest out of everyone, it makes my life easier to have lunches prepped. I'm going to make chicken teriyaki stir fry bowls and the girls each have their own they will make as a trial before things open back up fully. All of us are trying to eat healthier so hopefully this turns out well!
04/29 - I'll take it! So I think my scale is good, its just my body fluctuating THAT much with water weight. Going to be making my Teriyaki chicken stir fry meal prep for the girls today as the one furthest out has to come to town anyway and we are going to trade at that point. Guess I should go make coffee and start that before it gets too late and its not ready in time. I'll have some good lunches for a few days now (: Storm this morning so rather gloomy day. Hoping it brightens up because I'm going to be struggling if not. Think quarantine is really starting to get to me mentally as BF told me I haven't been happy with my work situation since I started but I think its less about work and more about being chained to a computer when I can't do or understand anything that's been thrown my way anyway. Do I enjoy getting paid for doing almost nothing? Yes. Am I tired of having to check my computer and being chained to it for no reason but to show I'm "working"? Absolutely. Will I be happier commuting so far for work once all this is over? Sure will, but at least I'll have something to pass the days than sit around and watch tv all day feeling unable to do anything. Sorry for the mini-rant, had to get it out of my system.
04/30 - Goal met, but can I keep it that way? Can I be a little more secure (lower) within my vague goal? Stay tuned! Today will be rough. The dog decided to be a spaz at 5am (working from home I get up at 615) and came to lay on my chest while panting and shivering like crazy. No point in trying to fall back asleep so I'm up early. Guess today is the perfect day to try my new espresso machine? I know in a few short weeks (likely, no official word) I will be waking up at 4-430 to commute to work but I plan on going to bed sooner than what I have been to acommodate my changing schedule. And I plan on learning my espresso machine by then to have a nice morning sipper on the drive. Last night was not one of those nights I went to bed early haha I see a nap and espresso machine learning experience in my future.5/01
05/02 - - More than a little shocked by this but very happy. Maybe its a good sign for a good month of May? I hope so. Top is off the jeep for summer (first time the full top came off since I've owned it -- to big, awkward, and heavy for me alone), doors are off, and as of yesterday, new lights and foglamps (: Now to keep dropping so I can feel confident in the shorts and swimsuits I'll probably be in more often than not (another beach day coming tomorrow).

04/30 152 lbs. First day.
05/01 152 lbs. Fun reading the thread. Feeling motivated by other people’s journeys.
05/02 did not weigh. Gone all day from the house/off my normal schedule turkey hunting. Quite a bit of hiking but then sitting all day.
05/03 154. Weighed at later time and off my routine. I’m not worried about day over day fluctuations. The start/end weights of the 10 day round will tell me better if I’m actually trending a weight loss. Took a nice walk to get my heart rate up.
05/04 153.2
05/05 153.2 Getting through my first round will help me set better goals too. Not time to worry. Just going to keep trekking along. My belly feels smaller/better the past couple days. I think it’s the smoothies and salads. 😊 I’m already looking forward to the next round.
