Goal weight: 57kg
Starting weight: Day 4 Round 121 – 67kg
Goal for this round - 66.5kg
7/29 - 67kg, the heaviest I've been in a while. Had a pretty tough couple of weeks and can't do much working out because of an injury. Going to be more consistent with the light cardio and yoga that I can do though. I'll do my best to hold myself accountable!
7/30 - 66.6kg, looks like my body is getting rid of all the extra food I've eaten in the weeks before starting this challenge. Also happy to see that early dinner yesterday and just tea in the evening worked well! Really trying to get into the habit of not eating too late.
7/31 - 66.6kg, went out for a bike ride, but had some unhealthy snacks later on. Gotta remember it's not perfection I'm aiming for but balance and healthy results.

@CamandJarvis I’m so glad to see you back! I was really worried about you after your BF took his kids and your car on vacation! Hope all is well now. You were missed!6

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/26 180.8 Yikes! Weekend lack of discipline. Lost my 17X number.
07/27 182.4 Why do I do this to myself? Now I will spend the next week+ just trying to get back to where I was. 😢 I walked into the weekend without planning it, and feeling “low” (energy, spirits) and so I let my “wants” take over. I do think a big part is sodium, but even that will take awhile to flush out.
07/28 DNW
07/29 182.8 This is what poorly managed anxiety will get you. 😢 I’m back on track today. May not see it on the scale tomorrow, but I’m back exercising, journaling, and I ate green. Just need to keep returning to my habits even through the “downs”.
07/30 183.0 still digging myself out of the hole I’ve made. I’ll get there.
07/31 181.4 Back in the right direction!

Hi! I am back!! I've been gone for a few months, I had a baby 5 weeks ago. Ive been back on MFP for a few weeks just getting back into a routine. I am back to my pre pregnancy weight but not my pre pregnancy look. Right before I got pregnant I was using JGMTD religiously and I was so comfortable in my own body. More than I had ever been. I am ready to get back to that place and keep going on my healthy journey physically and mentally. I have a good support system and I believe my previous accountability partner @HoopsGuy72 is back as well so I hope he will go back to being my accountability partner. I started working out this week, slowly getting back into it. I don't track my meals since I eat more due to breastfeeding but I do watch what I eat and portion control. I look forward to committing back to this group and be fully accountable as round 121 ends and 122 begins!7

It’s a lovely morning but heating up fast. Birthday cake on tap for DH, but I’m planning the rest of my day to compensate, and will be spreading soil in my new garden bed, so that should burn a few calories. I’m determined to lower my calorie average by at least 100 this round, and to up my exercise. Have a gorgeous Sunday, all. Be safe & healthy. 🌸❤️🌼🥗🌻
7/27 - 181.8
Oooh, the cake was good. And lasagna for DH’s birthday dinner. Salad today, baby! I did do a couple hours worth of hard labor in the garden — I’m turning the lawn at one side of the house into flowers, so schlepped a lot of 40-lb bands of soil around. More today, then compost. Better than the gym!
7/28 - 182.8
Cake + no walk due to lightning + a bit of munching last night = bloat + weight gain. Back with the program today. I want to get back to running, so am thinking of doing a round of C25K starting tomorrow. Planning a nice walk this evening. I’m off to buy more soil — I have about half the lawn covered for my side-yard garden. Yesterday was horrible hot, but it’s lovely today, so I need dirt! These days, I dream in flowers.
7/29 - 181.8
I almost finished laying the new garden bed yesterday — today’s the day! I’ll do that this morning (12 more 40-lb bags of soil will be my weight training) and then I’m off for a long walk along the river this afternoon. Now to eat well at meals and slay the snack monster....
7/30 - 182.8
Aaack. But I did eat salty yesterday and had an adult beverage last night, which I rarely do, but I finished laying out my new garden space (below). Now I wait for the paper under the soil to decompose, and in the spring I’ll plant a wide variety of flowers for birds, bees, butterflies, moths, and me! That’s 2,240 pounds of soil there!

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...

Male, 59, 5'10"
Starting Weight: 402.8
Current weight: 326.9
Ultimate Goal: 185 lbs., but realistically 15-18% bodyfat.
10-day Goal: 321.5 I'm basing this off my ENDING weight from last round PLUS forcing myself to consistently work out. Gotta be accountable and responsible.
Medium range goal - I turn 60 in early October, so the goal is to be under 300. It would mean I've lost over 100 lbs. in just under a year AND first time under 300 since my late 40's.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/26 - 326.9 - Huge uptick. Overate yesterday and my last meal got me sick and bloated. Not sure if it was undercooked (ribs) or something else, but I'll be preparing them differently next time.
07/27 - 329.0 - Strictly an excess of calories over the weekend. Prolly why I felt ill over the weekend (too much food). I'll be interested to see how much I drop by Saturday weight-in, since it normally reflects the largest, final, end-of-the-week drop.
07/28 - 324.2 - I knew it would drop, but with two small workouts (one aerobic, one weights), the drop was more than I hoped. I'm almost back to where I was Saturday morning. Sometimes you just find the *thing* that clicks and works for you. Over the years, like SO many, I've tried a variety of things. And then I just stumbled across intermittent fasting. I started with the standard 16:8 and slowly moved over to 20:4. I began watching Dr. Jason Fung, who is probably the formost authority on the subject and he spoke of alt. day IF. I worked up the nerve to try it. For someone that LOVES to eat, like I do, it was ALOT of nerve. I'm now starting my fourth week. Per Dr. Fung, there is no reason why the loss won't continue. Now down about 15 lbs. in those 3+ weeks. A little fast, but one by-product is that the loose skin gets eaten from autophagy/ketosis. And there are numerous other health benefits, too, not just the weight loss. I'm just very excited that something works that doesn't limit the foods I eat
07/29 - 327.7 - I always expect the uptick the day after eating. A little high since I drink so much in the morning, but I'm still OK since the weekly trend is down. I try to focus only on the Saturday weigh-in week over week.
07/30 - 323.5 - And the beat goes on... I'm gonna be close to making my medium range goal, but just losing 100 lbs. seems so distant.
07/31 - 324.6 - Only a 1 pound uptick. Looks like I might have a shot at making my goal for this round, IF I can get in 2 workouts before tomorrow's weigh-in. Made it to the gym this afternoon. Got a decent back workout in, plus 30 mins. on an eliptical (@ 75% heart rate 161 bmp max x .75 = 121 avg.)

Literally went back on track one day before this started, so it's my first round!
I pretty much let it all go during the quarantine — exercise and diet. I was anxious, depressed, stressed out... Anyways, I'm slowly regaining control over my habits and I'm finally ready to set some health/nutrition goals.
This round's goals: track weight evey day; 1400-1600 calories (very small deficit); >100g protein;
SW: 84.5 kg (184.1 lbs)
Ultimate Goal: 57 kg (125.5 lbs)
Day/Weight/Comment
07/26 - 83.4 kg (183.9 lbs) - Hit my goals with a few calories to spare
Not exercising for now (will start in a few days).
07/27 - 82.7 kg (182.3 lbs) - Didn't hit my protein goal, ate some chocolate instead. It's okay, stayed within my calories, which is the most important part. Part of what made me quit in the past was trying to be too restrictive or beating myself up for not being perfect. So I'm practicing kinder self talk this time. Also, cravings will subside at least a little bit with time, these first days are the hardest.
07/28 - 82.5 kg (181.9) - Day went by pretty fast, nothing to comment really.
07/29 - 82.3 kg (181.4 lbs) - Went for a long walk. Forgot to update the weight here in the forum, but I am staying consistent with my goals for this round.
07/30 - 82.1 kg (181 lbs) - Went a little crazy on the bread. Calories still on point, but was about 5g short on protein
Anyways, weight will definitely go up with the extra carbs.
07/31 - 82.6 kg (182.1 lbs) - (told ya)7 -

I am back to my pre pregnancy weight but not my pre pregnancy look. Right before I got pregnant I was using JGMTD religiously and I was so comfortable in my own body. More than I had ever been. I am ready to get back to that place and keep going on my healthy journey physically and mentally. I have a good support system and I believe my previous accountability partner @HoopsGuy72 is back as well so I hope he will go back to being my accountability partner. I started working out this week, slowly getting back into it. I don't track my meals since I eat more due to breastfeeding but I do watch what I eat and portion control. I look forward to committing back to this group and be fully accountable as round 121 ends and 122 begins!

R120 EW/EBF%: 233.6 (-7.4)/20.0 (-0.8), AW/ABF%: 235.3 (-5.7)/20.17 (-0.63)
Total W/BF% lost: 7.4/0.8
Average W/BF% lost per round: 10.57/1.14
Round 121 goal: Maintain (0.0) (adjusted from 2.0)
7/26: 235.2 (+1.6)/20.2 (+0.2). I had some company over last night (social-distancing on the outdoor patio), and I had a "cheat-meal" and three drinks. The meal was more of a quantity issue than quality; I'm going to treat it like the "slip" it was. I have another "outing" this evening (outdoor social-distancing visit) with my wife at my brother-in-law's home. I'm not sure what we're eating, but I'm going to go into it with portion control (and no more more than a drink or two) in mind.
7/27: 235.8 (+0.6)/20.2 (0.0). I went to with my wife to my brother-in-law's yesterday, and "it could have been worse." I had a couple of drinks, I ate reasonably (probably 1.5 times what I would have had if I was alone), and it's really hard to stay on target when I'm not completely in control of everything. Spending time with others twice in a short weekend (every other weekend is three days for me) is unusual. I'm going to be 100% on-plan for the next five days (including this one). Let's see how long it takes to get back to where I was this past Friday. I'm adjusting my goal for this week, hoping that I can end up where I started at the end of last challenge.
7/28: 234.8 (-1.0)/20.1 (-0.1). It always feels good to see the scale move in the right direction. I stuck to my plan 100% yesterday, I had lots of water, and I got lots of rest. My back is feeling MUCH better, although it's "tender" in one spot that does not make much sense to me. I used Salonpas on it a couple of times, in that one spot, but I haven't used it for at least four days. It remains very sensitive in that one spot, but not sensitive in a "back pain" sort of way. It feels almost like I had a really bad sunburn, but only in that spot. Nothing is swollen, and the area has no discoloration or redness. Maybe it's time to contact my doctor.
7/29: 233.4 (-1.4)/20.0 (-0.1). Ah, the beginning stages of weight loss! It's so much fun to be able to make up for a "slightly bad" weekend with two days of sticking to my plan. And, as write this, I understand that this is not usually how it works. In my life, it takes 2-3 times the effort to counteract the effects of any one "moment." Remembering this helps keep me on track. It keeps me from grabbing for that last drink, from eating that last bite, and from sometimes engaging in behaviors that are not consistent with my goals. Thank you to everyone who has expressed concern about my back (and about me in general). I'm seeing my chiropractor today, so hopefully I'll have some good news tomorrow. As always, when I'm in this group, I feel loved.
7/30: 233.0 (-0.4)/19.9 (-0.1). I slightly oversnacked last night, but I was overall on-point and sticking to my plan. I also made it to the chiropractor yesterday. I actually had a bit of a lower back spasm while I was on the table, but he was still able to adjust me, so I'm hopeful my back will get back to normal soon. He didn't seem concerned about my "sensitivity" in that area of my lower back. He said that Salonpas is known to cause some skin/soft tissue irritation; plus, it seems to be feeling less sensitive every day. Other good news: I'm having a pool table installed on my covered patio tomorrow morning, and I'm getting a table tennis "top" for it soon, so I should have some reasons to get off my @$$ soon. I miss basketball, and I miss going to the gym, but I really need to get my body moving. Sad news: I went to see my "brother" yesterday (my mother's 15-year-old American Eskimo), probably for the last time. My poor little old man can barely walk, but he's absolutely beautiful (he looks like he's 4 or 5 years old). I said my goodbyes, but I'm quick-to-tears today thinking about him.
7/31: 232.4 (-0.6)/19.9 (-0.1). My pool table is being installed as we speak, which I'm excited about. Sticking to my diet is working out to be pretty easy at the moment, but exercise has been much harder to "work back in." I did not talk with my mother yesterday about her dog, so I think I'll check in with her today. I'm a little bit scared that I'm going to get some bad news, but I know it's the right thing to do. I'm trying to get better at dealing with death and grief.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/25 …..210.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/26 …..210.0 ….. Good luck everyone this round!
07/27 …..210.2 ….. fluctuation.
07/28 …..209.8 ….. One of the many things I’m going thru right now is the health of my very last pet, my cat Reeces. She is just over 20 years old . Diagnosed about 8 months ago with kidney issues (mild liver issues too). Her health began deteriorating severely and rapidly over the weekend. Her weight dropped quickly and I’ve been having to dropper feed her water, flavorless pedialyte and lactose free milk. No vet open on the weekends in this rural area. She began to do a little better on the eating front and is eating bits of cat food too, but her weight is down to 4 pounds (usually about 5.5 in her older age). I know that suffering does not always equal pain. For sure, sometimes suffering does not ever involve actual pain at all. So I will travel today to her far-away doctor who has cared for her the entire 20 years and, of course, I will discuss appetite increasing pills, antibiotics etc but I think I already know what he is going to say, so I am trying to prepare myself. I am a total mess right now. In the past 20 years I have had my children grow up and leave. I’ve gotten divorced and been a single mother. I’ve remarried for 15 years and then became a widow. I have had and loved many many dogs and cats (loving pets) in those 20 years. I’ve lost parents, friends, my sister. But Reeces has always been here with me, through it all. My mainstay. Sorry this is so gloomy, friends. I am just beside myself. Please pray for whatever is right for her today. She deserves the very best treatment or send-off, whichever is necessary and humane at this time.
07/29 …..208.1 ….. I always drop weight during sad times.
07/30 …..209.2 ….. I managed to eat a little better but it was a little later for food than I like. I hope the scale tomorrow will be better. My house seems so empty now, I am going to try hard not to fill the void in space and time with food. Thanks again everyone for you comforting words.
07/31 …..209.4 ….. Still in a correction perhaps?

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 for this round – re-lose those 2 pounds ! - get back to & stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, really want to keep the 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
07/26 136.2 what !!!! 453 calories in credit, but 23 carbs over – 9.79 miles walked yesterday.
07/27 135.6 – only 3.74 miles walked yesterday, (travelled up to take DGS#1 out for the day), hence 54 calories and 75 carbs over. DGS#2 placed on transplant list last night
07/28 134.4 – 9.78 miles walked yesterday, 623 calories in credit, all macros well in green. I am gutted; I am 2 years too old to become a living liver donor to DGS, but encouraging news is that so many of my extended family have also volunteered, lets hope that one of them is compatable and he holds on till a suitable donor can be found – he is very ill now
07/29 134.4 - 364 calories in credit, 3g fat over. DGS update; my niece's husband is a potential match for live donor, awaiting blood results and a scan on Friday, just hope the dear little one can hold on that long
07/30 134.4 - 12.9 miles walked yesterday. 603 calories in credit, all other macros in green.
07/31 135.4 - 4.5 miles walked, over on calories & other macros, also didn't get all water in; took elder DGS out for the day to a country park.
08/01 134.8 – 10.4 miles walked yesterday, 558 calories in credit, all other macros in green. More importantly a liver (or part of an adults liver) has become available for my tiny DGS – in fact he is actually in theatre as I type undergoing the major surgery to give him a future, so hopeful that this is successful. (Fingers and everything else possible crossed !)

07/31 - 153.4 - Well, first time weighing at all since May... Not too bad, I'll say. I haven't done anything except the occasional yoga, walk, and once a hill run with the middle kid. She's in cross country so she likes to try to kill me on runs haha Absolutely no food tracking done, no attempt at portion control, nothing! I'm actually quite surprised about my weight, especially as I've been super bloated and heavy feeling lately, I figured I'd creeped back up in to the 160s. Apparently this is a stuck weight and I'm glad for it. Now time to move my stuck weight down.

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.
July: focus is on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:
Never give up! Never give in!- 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
Back Story:2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅JGM10D ~|~ Round 120
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!
2020
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.🔹Posting weight and comments each evening.

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.

07/26–174.8 That post-hike blip is gone, so here’s to a great round!
07/27–175.6 Not sure where this came from, but these little fluctuations are part of the process, for me at least. I ate well yesterday, but I hurt my hip on Saturday so was only able to do some light walking last night. I’ll ease back into my longer walks.
07/28–174.8 Incredibly hectic day…I did weigh, just didn’t post.
07/29–174.0 Hope this trend continues. My hip feels a good bit better, so I'm hoping for a long walk today either before it gets hot or in the evening when it cools down.
07/30–175 No explanation for this…just what my body does. I got in a good walk early yesterday (first one really since I hurt my hip). Also, ate within calories. I did have a toaster biscuit at dinner, but it didn’t put me over on calories. Could I be THAT sensitive to bread? Back to pushing water today along with the other normal parts of staying on plan.
07/31–176.2 Not enough sleep for the last 3 nights and too much kielbasa for dinner. On to better things today! I just want to be lower than 175.6 by the end of this round. Going to see my parents this weekend isn’t going to help with that goal though.
08/01–174.4 Funny how that happens. Now to just keep moving in a positive direction. Out of town tonight and tomorrow, so no scales will be available.
08/02—No scales.

About me:I love learning about food and everything about it; from the way it acts in the body to learning to cook a new recipe. I went to school for nutrition (got my bachelor's) but I didn’t become an RD because it didn’t feel like the path for me. I guess I wanted to keep it as more of an interest instead of a career. I then went into public health to further my education and I currently help medically complex patients by connecting them with community resources to improve their health and life. I enjoy helping family and friends when they ask for advice related to food and nutrition. Plus, it helps me brush up on what I spent so much time learning!Previous days’ entries
I’m here because when I’m not paying attention to what I eat, I start to gain and feel uncomfortable in my body. For me that results in frustration and a lot of other emotions. It has also increased my cholesterol in the past (It’s good now as far as I know thanks to diet and exercise). I have a family history of diabetes, heart disease, and all that fun stuff. So, I want to prevent that for myself by getting a hold of my food habits now.
I’m always open to conversation about food and nutrition, so feel free to reach out to me!07/26 117.2 Starting at the same weight I ended in round 119 thanks to eating a whole lot of salt on Friday after our hike. As semblances of normal life start creeping back in like takeout food, I find it harder to resist. Especially when it’s right in my face (Like my in-laws ordering takeout and wanting us to eat upstairs with them). I have a hard time saying no to those things because I enjoy them. One positive is that I feel like I did well last week and made a huge volume of summer squash to go with a minimal amount of Chinese food I ended up eating (maybe 1 cup worth of General Tso’s chicken, one chicken finger, and ½ cup pork fried rice, a fried dough ball, then a mountain of sautéed zucchini/summer squash). That method worked pretty well, I felt satisfied afterwards, but it took a while to feel full. I wanted to eat more but resisted.
I know I said going into this it would be tough because the lower you go the harder it is to get to the goal number at my height. I just need to remind myself of that and keep on chugging because I love the changes I have seen and feel very comfortable in my own skin. I just don’t want to feel uncomfortable again…which can happen if takeout becomes a habit.
So cheers to a new round with a new focus and challenges of not letting takeout food get in the way of my success.
07/27 117.2 Solid start to the day with a good soccer workout before the 100 degree plus humidity weather rolls in. I made a new batch of granola yesterday and added some crushed up brown rice cakes to it to add some bulk without a lot of calories. I’m excited to try it with my fruit and yogurt for breakfast.
It’s CSA pick up today and I got an email saying there will be peaches in it, so I’m very excited to try those! I love in season and local peaches! They are so so yummyyyyy! We’ll also be getting kohlrabi which will be fun to cook with! I love kohlrabi just sliced and munched on raw. So much yummy produce is really going to start rolling in and I’m so excited about it!
I’m also feeling refreshed after my mini vacation last week of having Wednesday to Friday off work.
07/28 118.0 Salt is not my friend. Had Thai food last night and wasn’t over on anything numbers wise. Done with takeout for a while. My husband really wanted it last night and I caved because it sounded way too good as I was really hungry at the time. Bleck,now I pay. Hoping the water weight doesn’t stick around because it doesn’t feel good being all swollen. I felt it in my fingers and face this morning snd hoping it fades.
Besides that, we went for a really nice walk this morning at around 5ish miles and it included black berry picking! So that was fun coming home with about a pint of wild black berries to accompany our CSA blueberries, apples and peaches in the fridge. I have healthy food all planned out for today and planning to stick to it.
07/29 119.2 Water weight is crazy right now. Besides that, I had a really good soccer workout this morning. I also switched up my breakfast routine today because I had leftover kielbasa to finish up. So I browned the kielbasa (4 oz) slices in a pan and then threw in an egg. Then on the side, I had a slice of whole wheat raisin toast (Angelic Bakehouse brand) topped with ½ tbs peanut butter along with some blueberries and blackberries. It was a pretty balanced breakfast and it’ll be interesting to see how well it keeps me satisfied.
07/30 117.0 Finally got the whoosh of water weight released. I can feel it too! My fingers don’t feel swollen which is nice 😊. We went for a really nice walk this morning. I think it clocked in at about 6.5ish miles. I think I’ll be frying an egg to go with my yogurt and fruit this morning. Then for a snack I’ll have some fresh kohlrabi and cucumbers. I’ll probably have a couple pieces of dried fruit with it too for a sweet treat. I’m looking forward to possibly having a taco salad for dinner tonight! Have a good day!
07/31 116.4 More whoosh of water weight 😊. Finally back to baseline after over a week of highs. We did a really good soccer workout this morning. I have my meals all planned for the day. For breakfast I’m having leftover chili I made last night topped with an egg. Then I’ll have fruit, yogurt and granola on the side. Snack will be some more kohlrabi and cucumber sprinkled with chili lime seasoning. Then, for dinner I think I want to make chicken thighs, purple potatoes, and zucchini ribbons with a touch of alfredo sauce for dinner tonight.
08/01 115.6 Whelp there’s a number I don’t remember seeing, even in high school. Maybe middleschool, so when I was an awkward 13/14 year old with a completely different shape to me. This is exciting and I’m really happy with it 😊. Let’s hope it sticks! In the meantime I will celebrate the victory with some online shopping to treat myself.
I have my typical breakfast planned today in addition I’ll be having some leftover chili on the side with an egg on top. Not sure if I’ll be hungry for a snack after such a big breakfast. Then we’ll be having homemade pasta & meatballs for dinner tonight. I think I’ going to make some zucchini ribbons to add some veg to the dish as well. I’ll probably have a cucumber salad to go with it too.
NSV: I have officially been logging for 110 days in MFP 😊. Have a good weekend everyone!

07/26 DNW, but it’s good to be back at a deficit and so much easier after the break. I’d been struggling a bit before, so I’m hoping the reset helps with adhering to my diet. I didn’t weigh in this morning because I was camping last night. First weigh in will be tomorrow.
07/27 202.6. I’m pretty happy about this since it was what my last and lowest weigh in was before the diet break. I’ve only been back at a deficit for two days.
07/28 200.8. Wow. I expect it will bump up a bit since that's the way the process goes, but I'm really glad that the break I took didn't derail me from losing.
07/29 199.6. Yay! I have not seen this number in five years. At some point it's going to bump back up a bit, but soon enough I won't ever see the 200s again.
07/30 200. Glad I got to see the 190s before the bump up. Probably will see them again this round.
07/31 200.4
08/01 200.6. NSV: Jeans I've been wanting to wear that couldn't be gotten past my hips July 15 can be buttoned as of today. One of my goals is to fit comfortably into them by Labour Day. I haven't been able to wear them since the fall of 2014.
