I need some accountability. These last 10 lbs are brutal.

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.
05/05 -151.8 Nice. Not sure I'll make it back to 151.4, but last challenge was a ridiculous drop for me so it's OK. Just staying the course. I can tell my body has definitely changed shaped over the last 6 months. I wish I had taken a picture at the start.

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!
05/05 124.0 This is definitely hormonal because all that fun stuff is due in the next couple of days. This is good because it’s part of the reason I’ve been wanting to track my daily weights. I know it’ll go back down once things simmer down again. I had a great day yesterday with food and keeping within my calories and water thanks to exercise. It was actually one of my highest calorie burn days according to my Forerunner35 watch, so I know I’m being active enough. Today I plan to make some homemade hummus and have some antipasto veggies with it for lunch. I love hummus and can eat it with just a spoon, but I guess adding some veggies and whole grain pretzels to it might make it a little more balanced!
This morning, I did my mini body weight workout of push-ups, air squats with a push press using a medicine ball, and some Russian twists using the med ball. 3 sets of 25 for each exercise and it only takes 8 minutes. I’m also huffing and puffing by the end of it because it’s completed only a little bit after I wake up, so my body isn’t used to the higher heart rate yet. We got in another 3.6 mile walk this morning but did a different route. There were less hills today but it was gorgeous/sunny out even if it was a bit chillier. The weather is looking clear for the rest of the week, so it looks like I’ll get in a walk each day. 😊 Have a good day everyone!

4/28 DNW
4/29 DNW
4/30 DNW
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.
5/5 159.6 lbs 650 calories, 16,500 steps IF 16 hours, spring cleaning continues for Graduation8 -
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!
05/03: 252.2
05/04: 251.2–woohoo!
05/05: 253.6–Too much sodium again yesterday and I went over my calorie goal 😕

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

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!!!
05/05: 181.8 - Ugh....Hormones!! Eating was pretty good yesterday and took the dogs to the woods again so I got lots of hills in. Probably not going to see a huge loss this round due to my cycle but at least I will have weighed everyday and re-started some good habits.

It’s a gorgeous, bright, sunny morning here, and brrrrr cold. But hopefully it will warm up by afternoon.

Rain, rain....but it is still April.

I can’t believe it’s almost May. I seem to have misplaced April somewhere.

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! 🌷💐🌸

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!

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.

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.

Good day yesterday. I got the last of my garden beds cleaned up and ready for new plants — picking up a bunch Thursday from our Botanical Conservatory plant sale. Yay! Got two writing classes almost ready to launch online. Worked on my own new mystery novel. Went for a walk. Talked to a couple of friends on the phone. Delivered a fresh-baked loaf of cinnamon raisin bread to someone from church. Knitted a bit. Not bad. DH wants Thai carry out for lunch (a month ago he was sure he didn’t like Thai food!) so I ordered veggie stir fry to control calories. Now I need to set one more loaf of bread to rise for one more delivery. Maybe a seeded spelt. I love baking, so it’s nice to have an outlet other than my belly! Have a lovely day, friends! Here are some forget-me-nots for you, with grape hyacinths and a tulip for good measure.

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

05/05: 176.6 Cleaned all day yesterday. Actually felt more like a workout than when I'm purposely working out. I must not clean enough
Adding to my post. As I'm sitting here looking at the news on the internet, my husband has gotten up and decided to make oatmeal cookies. I thought I didn't like oatmeal cookies but I think it's just the raisins in them that I don't like (or they don't like me and make me sick). Without the raisins, the ones he makes are so good. When he makes them, he always makes some without raisins for me. Last time he made me 4 because I said I would count the calories and eat 1 a day. You can see where this is going - I ate all 4 within 5 mins of them coming out of the oven. If he had made 10, I would have eaten all 10 right then . I may be having less cravings since I've been off sugar for a while but that only goes as far as to not buy or make anything with sugar, not if they are in my face. It's not just the calories, it's that it will set me up to start bingeing again, and I am not going back to where I was a couple of weeks ago, where I binged for 3 weeks - eating sugar and crap every day, and not eating anything healthy and gained 7.2 pounds to boot! I was so miserable those 3 weeks. It was so hard to get back to a healthy place, and I'm not going back! So, because I always have willpower in the mornings, AND my cravings are better from no sugar, I've asked he not make any for me without the raisins. At 4pm today, I'll be pissed at the strong-willed me because I will want them, but tomorrow morning I will thank myself again and be gaining confidence as well that I can do this. My husband is being kind though because he's opted for the raisin oatmeal cookies because he knows I won't eat them and he wants me healthy too. Maybe one day I can handle sugar, but it's definitely not right now! Thanks for listening to my rant! It's just that I am so glad to be where I am at this moment and not where I was.

It’s a gorgeous, bright, sunny morning here, and brrrrr cold. But hopefully it will warm up by afternoon.

Rain, rain....but it is still April.

I can’t believe it’s almost May. I seem to have misplaced April somewhere.

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! 🌷💐🌸

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.
5/5/20 - 181.8
Good day yesterday. I got the last of my garden beds cleaned up and ready for new plants — picking up a bunch Thursday from our Botanical Conservatory plant sale. Yay! Got two writing classes almost ready to launch online. Worked on my own new mystery novel. Went for a walk. Talked to a couple of friends on the phone. Delivered a fresh-baked loaf of cinnamon raisin bread to someone from church. Knitted a bit. Not bad. DH wants Thai carry out for lunch (a month ago he was sure he didn’t like Thai food!) so I ordered veggie stir fry to control calories. Now I need to set one more loaf of bread to rise for one more delivery. Maybe a seeded spelt. I love baking, so it’s nice to have an outlet other than my belly! Have a lovely day, friends! Here are some forget-me-nots for you, with grape hyacinths and a tulip for good measure.

F, 45, 5'7"
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. 20 min. Jazzercise and 35 min yoga. Went slightly over on calories but hungry when going to bed. Hard to get to sleep.
05/05: 235.7. Woke up hungry and thirsty. Still in the first two weeks here a so if this is a real loss, not expecting to sustain this rate.

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.
05/05 - 346.8 - The last two days I've held off from drinking my coffee until I'm done my morning workout. Strange, but I've had significant weight drops both days. The CoffeeMate has only one gram of carbs and one of fat (no protein) and stevia, generally, has no effect on weight loss or autophagy. So, it appears that FINALLY working out (bands and weights) is increasing my weight loss rate. No matter... I met my goal for this round, so happiness abounds.

@fmfdfa2020 My husband wanted to make oatmeal cookies last week but we have no oatmeal so he made chocolate chip instead. I ate one - they were made with whole wheat flour and very good. Ha kept 2 or 3 for himself and portioned the rest into baggies which he delivered to friends around the neighborhood. Meanwhile, I made some keto chocolate chip cookies. They are loaded with Lily’s dark chocolate chips which he doesn’t care for - not a chocolate fan, period. My cookies are in the freezer and I allow myself 1 after dinner, if I want any. We can do this! I made whole wheat bread yesterday and ate the first slice, hot, with butter. Today we decided to have creamed chipped beef on toast - a total carb load! Then will give the bread to our daughter and her family of 5 - three of them teens.5

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

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!
5/5 120.0 I know what caused the bump and it’s fine. I’m really not sure I want to be at 118 and I know at least part of the loss is muscle because I have been doing no exercise since March 17 except lifting the 15.5# cat. I’m also not sure I drank enough water.8 -

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.
05/05 …..205.0 ….. Yay! Another drop and another good day. I miss my fitbit. I am hoping to somehow fix it but if not, I’ll get a new one (upgraded). Mixed small spurts of exercise yesterday because I was so busy with other things. I took every opportunity to fit in a little something here & there including cleaning, raking, using my ski machine and even a bit of dancing. Sample song “Jealous” by Nick Jonas..

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.
05/05: 230.6 (0.0)/19.7 (0.0). I had to roll out last night as part of my on-call shift (I am a psychologist who works in law enforcement). It threw my night off a little bit, which made food tracking difficult. I also ended up having some mixed drinks (four Vodka Lemon Drops) with my wife when I returned home. I still believe I was under maintenance for the day (341 calories over my goal). I'm still doing "okay," but I am noticing out loud that I have three days in a row in which I was over in my calories (where I was "on target" the previous four days). I don't feel like I'm out of control, but I'm going to try to be more mindful in the moment. The drinks last night were what really got me.

@UTMom81
I love how the anonymity here (interwebz) allows me to say things I would normally have so much trouble getting out. I actually think that the connection I feel here with all of you sometimes gets in the way of my feeling "anonymous," which might be another factor that has contributed to some of my previous disappearances.
It's a good problem to have (this sense of belonging/community), and one that I am more than willing to work through.8 -

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 :-)
05/06 - 64.6kg, things are slowing down but still going in the right direction, perseverance and patience required9 -

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 almost mile cooldown 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.
05/05 - 127.5 Not too surprised about this. I ate about 1900 yesterday which is quite a bit over my TDEE. I ran 2 miles, walked one, and did shoulders, abs, and some HIIT. Between food weight and water weight I wasn't expecting a loss.

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.

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.
05/05 -- Weight 238.6; Goals - walk: yes, 65 minutes; log food: yes, 250 calories under; empty calories: about 100; meds: yes; water: yes, 12 and counting.

Hello Everyone, I haven't been around since round 106 really but it's good to see so many people stayed consistent!
I've been quickly reading up on the posts, I can't believe so much time has already passed. Feels quite like groundhog day lol I'll be joining you next round... 24/h access to my fridge and no going out for 2 months has been a killer for the weight, and I'll have to admit that those 2 months have been pretty hard (emotionally). Lockdown is easing up, I bought a new bike and I'm walking again every day.
I'll be joining in the new round tomorrow I'm looking forward to getting back on track 9
