Learned a lot about my weight tendencies during my first challenge 10 days ago. This will be my last challenge before vacation so I'm going big. Goal is to lose at least 5# by increasing exercise and maintaining MFP goal calories. I actually think I can lose more as the last two days of the last challenge served me up a couple pounds back, but who needs that kind of pressure!?
SW: 178.6
6/6-176.8 up for 24 hours with a family medical emergency that had a happy enough ending for my sweet momma. Not the way to lose water weight!
6/7-176.4 I don't know how, but I will accept those lost bonus ounces. Slept till noon; made poor food choices [yet stayed within MFP goal]; somehow walked 10,000 steps, only 1 mile intentionally.
6/8- 176.3 Walked...a LOT. Gardened a bit.
6/9- 176 My digital scale had a "twitch" between this weight, and 175.9. Hoping to have a "5" tomorrow!
6/10-174.3 I'm ok skipping the "5".
Took a day off of IF 11-7 eating window. Ate bigger earlier in the day and took advantage of the pause in the day of rain to walk, walk, walk...
6/11 -175.1 The "5" came a day late!

06/09 127.3 Just 1.3 lbs away from a mini goal weight! That's super encouraging.
06/10 126.2
06/11 127.1 Aaaand back up again. I had a bit of salt with my dinner (chicken with creole seasoning = sodium, and french fries which I COVER in salt) so I'm really hoping it's just water weight. I was so dang close to my mini goal of 126.

06/07 216Well .... at least I know my scales aren’t broken.... hormones this time, I think and a massive lack of water 💦 ... getting back on it today....
06/08 215.75It's heading in the right direction! Hitting the H2O big style and continuing the intermittent fasting. Seem to be naturally working my way up from 16:8 to 18:6. Again I can see body composition changes instead of scale changes.... hoping the scale will kick in properly soon. It's all a learning curve
06/09 214.25Take that scales! 🥳 Finally!! The last couple of days I've been tweaking the carbs, keeping to about 70-80g carbs and lots of fibre with as much water as I can guzzle without going sploosh.
Interestingly, I've also tried to up my calorie intake as well. With IF, I have struggled to get above 1100 cals in a 2 meals with optional snack. So I've started trying to hit a minimum of 1200 more often.
I've also started breaking my fast with a vegan based protein shake with some added bits and bobs, followed by a solid meal. I've upped my steps and started doing more stretching to loosen up the joints and muscles.
I guess I'm throwing everything at it to try and get the scales to budge, so now I'll just track these for a bit to see if the downward trend continues.....
06/10 213.5Super happy to be consolidating the drop and hopefully seeing some momentum . Yesterday I actually struggled to keep to my cals, but I walked more to compensate. Then I tried a new ab workout on YouTube and every other move made me issue a bunch of expletives no one needs to hear! 
Safe to say, I'm glad I tried, but it just wasn't my thing. I have found some alternatives though, so all is not lost. But wow my abs are weak right now. Looking forward to making them stronger and hopefully improving my posture at the same time!
06/11 214.75
Well I guess I deserved that one. Yesterday was a struggle. I was sore from the ridiculous ab workout the day before and didn't do more than some stretching. I just about made a minimum water chug
Going through an emotional grind right now. My partner and I got together shortly before lockdown in the UK started and it's been a rollercoaster 4 months just trying to keep things going while not seeing each other. It's difficult to see a way forward and it's been brewing this last week about whether we can sustain it or not.
I'm in awe of anyone who has family deployed abroad or can't see their loved ones as part of normal life - that's without a virus on top! You guys rock!
My eating wasn't bad but it could have been better. I ordered in from a local restaurant, and while I kept to grilled chicken and fish with some lentils, it probably had a small mountain of salt in it
Normally I would be heading for something more comforting, so I guess I'm learning more to deal with my emotions properly rather than eating them.
This morning I woke up too early after 3 hours sleep and so instead of wallowing, I put my workout gear on and walked a brisk 4 miles until my head felt clear. There may have been a few tears, but by the time anyone saw me, it could have been taken as sweat - so it's all good
Wishing you all a strong and positive day ahead! Let's do this!!

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 hip surgery March 10th. Recovery is slow. Sure do want to be back doing 5 miles a day!
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

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.

- 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 by keeping busy
Never give up! Never give in!
Back Story:2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅JGM10D ~|~ Round 116

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.

I’m back. Lost 50lbs in the first half of 2019, but gained it all back after an unexpected international relocation + a busy year full of changes & stress. These threads really helped me stay accountable last time, so I’m happy to see them still running!

06/07 216Well .... at least I know my scales aren’t broken.... hormones this time, I think and a massive lack of water 💦 ... getting back on it today....
06/08 215.75It's heading in the right direction! Hitting the H2O big style and continuing the intermittent fasting. Seem to be naturally working my way up from 16:8 to 18:6. Again I can see body composition changes instead of scale changes.... hoping the scale will kick in properly soon. It's all a learning curve
06/09 214.25Take that scales! 🥳 Finally!! The last couple of days I've been tweaking the carbs, keeping to about 70-80g carbs and lots of fibre with as much water as I can guzzle without going sploosh.
Interestingly, I've also tried to up my calorie intake as well. With IF, I have struggled to get above 1100 cals in a 2 meals with optional snack. So I've started trying to hit a minimum of 1200 more often.
I've also started breaking my fast with a vegan based protein shake with some added bits and bobs, followed by a solid meal. I've upped my steps and started doing more stretching to loosen up the joints and muscles.
I guess I'm throwing everything at it to try and get the scales to budge, so now I'll just track these for a bit to see if the downward trend continues.....
06/10 213.5Super happy to be consolidating the drop and hopefully seeing some momentum . Yesterday I actually struggled to keep to my cals, but I walked more to compensate. Then I tried a new ab workout on YouTube and every other move made me issue a bunch of expletives no one needs to hear! Safe to say, I'm glad I tried, but it just wasn't my thing. I have found some alternatives though, so all is not lost. But wow my abs are weak right now. Looking forward to making them stronger and hopefully improving my posture at the same time!
06/11 214.75Well I guess I deserved that one. Yesterday was a struggle. I was sore from the ridiculous ab workout the day before and didn't do more than some stretching. I just about made a minimum water chug06/12
Going through an emotional grind right now. My partner and I got together shortly before lockdown in the UK started and it's been a rollercoaster 4 months just trying to keep things going while not seeing each other. It's difficult to see a way forward and it's been brewing this last week about whether we can sustain it or not.
I'm in awe of anyone who has family deployed abroad or can't see their loved ones as part of normal life - that's without a virus on top! You guys rock!
My eating wasn't bad but it could have been better. I ordered in from a local restaurant, and while I kept to grilled chicken and fish with some lentils, it probably had a small mountain of salt in it Normally I would be heading for something more comforting, so I guess I'm learning more to deal with my emotions properly rather than eating them.
This morning I woke up too early after 3 hours sleep and so instead of wallowing, I put my workout gear on and walked a brisk 4 miles until my head felt clear. There may have been a few tears, but by the time anyone saw me, it could have been taken as sweat - so it's all good
Wishing you all a strong and positive day ahead! Let's do this!!

Day/Weight/Comment
06/06 134.8 – 10.36 miles walked yesterday. So lucky to stay at this weight this morning; had a bad day yesterday, gave up logging by tea time when I had reached 2838 calories consumed. Sorry to have to say this (yet) again, but why do I self destruct?? I know what it does to me, but in truth I am a food addict & once I get into a feeding frenzy I can't stop. (Sigh) I am so disappointed with myself on these days. I'm going to try this 10 day to be at/under calories every day. I mean it's just 10 days and as it is fastly approachung tea time now, then day 1 is almost done!! I need to be strong/sensible.
06/07 134.8 – 9.33 miles walked yesterday, 664 calories in credit and all macros well in green. A much better day yesterday; in control. What I have noticed is that even a few pounds make a difference to my resting heart rate? When at goal it's usually around 46 bpm, a few pounds on and it creeps up to 47, 48, when I get to 135 ish pounds its up to 50 bpm, that in turn pushes my heart rate up when walking, which I tend to do at/just under 4 miles per hour, I can feel that difference in my breathing whilst walking too !! Just an observation.
06/08 134.8 – 9.1 miles walked yesterday. 571 calories in credit, all macros in green.
06/09 134.8 - 11.73 miles walked yesterday, 407 calories in credit, but 4g fat over.
06/10 132.8 – wow!! got on the scales 3 times to make sure not a false reading! Would be happy to keep this to the end of the round (would be happy with half this loss!), but have to be realistic & expect normal fluctuations. 8.38 miles walked yesterday, 667 calories in credit, all macros in credit.
06/11 132.8 managed to hold on to this ! - 9.66 miles walked yesterday – 483 calories in credit, fat 5g over.
06/12 133.2 – 8.46 miles walked yesterday. 337 calories in credit, carbs 18g over.

06/11 59.35kg I was super good and super mindful yesterday.
06/12 58.95kg yay! Mindfulness seems to be an answer. Now to remain mindful over the weekend without exercise to focus me.

I don't understand it. I've been good and yet the scales are not shifting. If I don't see a downward whoosh soon I'll need to rethink my strategy.

Hanging on in there. I'm not going to give up.

06/06: 152.6 - Got a new phone, so fell behind on posting. Mexican food, ice cream, peanut butter & jam with a spoon. Clearly out of control. Fitbit says 4,891 (2.41 miles).
06/07: DNW - Started out well, until roommate smiled and said she'd brought me more ice-cream. Fought the thought for a hour until I caved. Phenomenon of craving is in full swing. Praying for willingness.
06/08: DNW - Let go of the idea that I can rely on my will power. And go figure, cravings left me! I'll forget again soon enough, but with y'all's help, I'm remembering quicker. Fitbit says 9,194 steps (4.01 miles).
06/09: 151.8 - Another good day. Mind not as troubled as last week. Still staying too busy, but eating, sleeping, chilling, enjoying better. And waddaya know... resting heart rate starting to slowly go down again at a steady 67 instead of the jump to 69/70. Usual is in the low 60s. I feel this marker tells the full story. Fitbit says 3,559 steps (1.55 miles). K, it was raining all day, but that's still just a excuse.
06/10: 150.8 - eggs for breakfast, roommate suggested I "look in the freezer". The doll brought me the Peanut Buster Parfait I'd been craving since the weekend, but had so far avoided. First sugar in several days, but totally worth it. No additional cravings so far. Fitbit says 10,117 steps (4.41 miles).
06/10: 149.6 - I'm used to fending for myself wrt food. Lately I'm getting spoiled though. Was served eggs for breakfast, then a veggie pizza and... brownies arrived. I guess another day off of my usual no sugar/no grains lifestyle. Fitbit says 10,201 steps (4.5 miles).
