You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine. - John C. MaxwellMy goal for 2020 is to get into ONEderland and making it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
- Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles in August
- Drink more water (target min 80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
- Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020)
- Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
- Drink less alcohol (4 AF days per week; ~16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

08/09 179.6 yay! Came back a pound lighter. Ate smart (lots of veggies, thinking through my meals the night before), yet still enjoyed myself (campfire popcorn!). Lots of exercise, yet not excessive.
08/10 179.2 😁 Back to my beat weight this year. Ate well for a Sunday and the results show. I may even get a little more sodium drop in the next day or so because I think I ate a lot more salt while camping than I normally do. Now back to work!

08/05 - 170.6 An optimistic start
08/06 - 171.1 These ounces be playing with me!
08/07 - 172.2 What!? Really? I can only imagine what this would be if I wasn't logging and exercising. When ounces turn to pounds, it's time to double down. (so clever, right?):*
08/08 - 170.6 Back to the start; weird numbers this round. Plenty of days left to goal.
08/09 - 169.6 ...and now to keep the number thru the end if the round. That is the hard part. (I smell bacon)

08/05- 94.1kg - stuck to my calorie and macro goals (using IIFYM). No exercise but I was on my feet all day at work. Had fantastic self control at the cinema!
08/06- 92.4kg - food planned, stuck to my calorie and macro goals. Found Limelon which is amazing! I'm struggling to eat less carbs and up my protein. Think I need a shopping trip!
08/07- 92.5kg
08/08 -92.1kg - had a total meltdown at lunch, did not have enough carbs for the day and was in a rush so couldn't cook. Ate all the cheese.
08/09 - 92.1kg - totally gave in today. Binged on carbs because I was out at the beach with family. Kept within Kcl though.

08/05 206.8 Yesterday 13213 steps and 1530 calories. Found a new aerobic you tube video that I liked. High intensity I loved it!
08/06 206.9 Yesterday 12958 steps 1292 calories lunch walk afternoon intervals (walk run walk run) Doesn’t seem to be enough…I am not upset by the slight incline. What I burn in calories, is slowing down. I have to push myself harder. In some ways it is a good thing because it means I am healthier but I have to start using more strength training because walking isn’t doing it anymore…I have some 5lb dumbbells at home…
08/07 206.7 Yesterday 15179 steps 1921 calories went overboard on some fries. Stressful day yesterday, Hunger found me. My heart was working overboard due to stress not exercise. I did get in some good walking and exercise.
08/08 207.7 Yesterday 13820 steps lunch and evening walk 1407 calories a little fatty with some meatballs but nothing too bad. I think it is still stress. I am trying to budget my life.
08/09 208.2 This is going the wrong direction. I did get a 40 minute walk in last night and my son kept me running. 1484 in calories 10845 steps but generally not a very active day too much sitting around this weekend. (plus my sister picked up the scale and shook it ) Cringe! I think it’s off…
08/10 208.4 9559 steps 1609 steps and discouragement is making its way into my bones. I did get a 40 minutes aerobics but I am losing this fight…Today will be better… it has to be...

Still too many “distractions” and “upended” dramatic things going on in my life, my family and my business. I am doing what I can, when I can. No excuses, just realistically making a better plan for myself as I am able. I am grateful for the small drop on the scale.

Round 122
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
08/05: 205.8 / It’s great to kick off a new round. This morning’s weigh-in ties my low for the year 2020. I got below this in 2019 before the holiday season kicked in. All I can say is, it will be a fight from here on if I want to touch 199 this year. Challenge starting tonight! A good friend invited me fishing this evening, followed by a late dinner at one of our favorite greasy spoons. (not sure if all our international friends know what a “greasy spoon” is. Ha! Is it a global term?) Maybe I will set a mini goal of avoiding the French Fries. (chips, crisps)
08/06: 208 / …yesterday was a glorious festival of poor decisions with a double dash of salt.
08/07: 208 / Calories yesterday were on budget, but macros were not. My diet yesterday included a couple pieces of candy, a piece of blueberry coffee cake that DW made, a couple drinx and a bag of VERY salty popcorn at the outdoor concert in our town last night.
08/08: 208.2 / I have been naughty.
08/09: 208.4 / pizza
08/10: 208 / Monday at last. Weekend was a net no-change which is good.

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.

8/7 116.5 I ordered a small batch ice cream freezer last night. It makes 1 pint. I have been desiring ice cream this summer but keto ice creams are outrageously priced and I haven’t seen one that everyone loves. Besides, our regular ice cream freezer makes 6 quarts-way too much for 2 people!

08/10 - 154.5 - That's some cheesy-bloat. Fam made some Au Gratin for dinner with our steaks (she had never heard of them before and somehow still made them absolutely perfect). Feel a lot lighter and less bloated now that I had lots of water to rid of dehydration but that's long after my weigh-in this AM. As usual, water is expensive at events and had to attempt to make up once I was home which I obviously couldn't quite manage. My new leggings come in today and hoping to get out of the house early enough tomorrow before it gets too hot to try them out and get some activity in. Depending on work today, I'm hoping I can squeeze a walk in so I have some kind of activity.

Previous Day's Comments08/05 - Well hello there.... 3.5lb jump today? Must be sodium and dehydration. I drank a lot of water but I also moved a lot outside yesterday. It would've been difficult to keep up with my outside activity had I already been fully hydrated so I'm not surprised there. Also curious about scale because for the first time in the 4 yrs I've had it decided to start up in kg mode, not lbs mode. Took me a pretty long while to figure out how to get it back. May need new scale? Been reliable all this time so unsure.
08/06 - Not surprised to be this high still, had a horrible time fighting hunger and dealing with a bit of DOMS. My run yesterday helped quite a bit, I'm sure, from keeping it going higher but definitely left my legs sore this morning. Also probably still some leftover bloat from the ice cream on Tuesday. That much dairy will last several days, even if I don't feel the uneasiness anymore. Likely to be a busy day today for work. Going to try to get in some type of activity today but unsure when or how at this point. Bossman, as sweet as he is, is very long winded and he's scheduling a meeting today to set up my goals (haven't done it yet because COVID and hoped to do in person). Its time for our mid-year performance review and we can't postpone any longer. Not sure when that'll be yet so not sure when I'll have a big enough break between meetings to fit it in. Probably do a walk or yoga to stretch out these sore legs a bit.
08/07] - Seafood gumbo last night and might've (read: absolutely did) overdone it a bit. Went for a nice walk/hike up the "mountain" this morning then walked main street with the kids (their last time for the summer as they leave Sunday morning). Going to a new river tomorrow (they wanted to go to our usual river. We wanted to go tubing down this new river (BF and I haven't gone to yet - wanted to go first time with kids) this summer -- supposed to be super clear water and nice cold to offset the heat) so I'll get some activity with swimming in. No way to tube as they don't do shuttles from pickup point and we haven't bought tubes for the kids yet anyway. Swimming is better exercise than sitting in a tube anyway haha Tamales and enchiladas tonight for the kids going away party with fam and fam's mom is making dairy and gluten free enchiladas so hopefully I won't be all bloated tomorrow. Have reason to take it easy tonight -- bloat shows really well in my swimsuits and I don't need to be focused on looking so fat but having fun with kids before they leave instead
08/08 - DNP
08/09 - Yesterday was alright. The water was super shallow so no real swimming. About 2 hours away so lots of sitting in the truck and sitting in the water. Stopped for Mexican food as we didn't have time to cook before bed so probably still a bit high on sodium. Going to go check out horse races today while BF is gone driving kids back to their mom's. Hopefully there's a nice area for me to walk social distanced while still being able to see. I've never been to a horse race so I want to learn some things! (I will have my mask and hand sanitizer with me)

8/5: 233.4 (0.0)/20.0 (0.0). I had some leftovers for dinner from the in-laws' visit on Monday; while delicious, it is NOT healthy food, nor does it fit within my current plan. I informed the wife I would not be partaking in any more leftovers this week. I feel right now like I extended my weekend unnecessarily, and I'm a little bit pi$$ed about it. I'm going to take that energy and get myself back on track. I felt an urge not to post yesterday (final day of previous round), because I was disappointed in myself (mostly my scale reading, I guess). I'm sticking with this, though. And sticking with it means weighing in and posting every day that it's feasible.
8/6: 230.8 (-2.6)/19.7 (-0.3). Apparently "mad" is still working alright for me. I was completely back on-plan yesterday; this weigh-in seems a little extreme, but I also think I got 9 hours of sleep last night (which I needed, I think). I'm going to continue to kick butt this week with my nutrition, and I'm already starting to plan what's happening for the weekend. My wife wants to play pool on Friday, which is fine... but she also wants to drink. "If" I drink, it will be only one, but I'm leaning toward no alcohol this weekend. We are also planning on going on a hike with some of her family on Saturday. Exercise. It's been a while. Overall, I'm feeling pretty good today. I'll take it.
8/7: 230.8 (0.0)/19.7 (0.0). I suppose I should be happy being at this weight two days in a row, so I will be! I had an extra protein shake last night when I got hungry; it may have put me "over" in calories, but it was a MUCH better choice than I make when I am not actively taking care of myself. I take that a sign that I am actively taking care of myself. I'm in the office today (I would normally be at home), and I'm going to try to be productive. I'm not sure about the hike on Saturday, but I will get in some "lifting" (not the same as the gym... I wish it were) and cardio (both) at some point over the weekend. I really need to get exercise back into my life. I'm going to play some pool tonight with my wife outside; she wants to drink old-fashioneds (I learned how to make them last week), and I will limit myself to no more than two! There should be no other drinking over the weekend.
8/8: 229.4 (-1.4)/19.5 (-0.2). These numbers may be artificially lower (at least slightly) than they should be, but not by much (weighed in about an hour and a half later than usual). It doesn't really matter, though. I know I'm doing what I need to do. I still haven't worked out, but my goal was to lift once this weekend, and do some cardio once. I'm about to head outside to lift some weights. I'm interested to see how my body is going to feel after; it's been a long time. My brother-in-law and his girlfriend may be coming over tonight. If that happens, I will plan things out as best I can, to minimize any possible damage. I hope everyone enjoys their weekend!
8/9: 230.2 (+0.8)/19.6 (+0.1). We ended up going to my in-laws' last night for carne asada, and I was pretty good with my food. My brother-in-law made some strange watermelon/chamoy margaritas that were FANTASTIC. I indulged. The brother-in-law and his girlfriend are coming over tonight. We are going to order in some HEALTHY FOOD that fits within my plan, because I want to continue to minimize the effect(s) that the weekend is going to have on me. I did not get a chance to work out yesterday, and it's not going to happen today, either. At least I'm THINKING about it (an important first step!). I'm still very much on-track to meet my goal for the round. If I can keep it within reason today, I should be golden.
8/10: 231.4 (+1.2)/19.8 (+0.2). My brother-in-law and his girlfriend came over last night, and brought sushi. I think I kept it under control for the most part (one old-fashioned), but I'm still not liking my numbers this morning. The good news? I actually lifted weights yesterday for the first time in months. It's not the same as the gym, but it's SO MUCH more than nothing. It felt good, and I'm going to commit to alternating weight lifting with my rowing machine until I can't stand it anymore. We'll see how it goes. I'm also happy that I have four non-weekend days to hit my sub-230 goal.

Snack monster won last night, dammit, but Total calories 1 over goal.
8/6 - 182
I know I wrote an update yesterday but I can’t find it — maybe I hit Done instead of post. I hate that! Anyway, I filled in the gap and here I am, still floating along. Calories within range. Didn’t get my walk as a friend dropped by for chat, outdoors, socially distanced. That was nice — I hadn’t seen her since March. Off to walk this morning.
8/7 - 182
Calories overboard yesterday, and snack/dessert/peach cobbler at last night’s monthly garden gathering with 3 friends. I went for a lovely 4-mile walk at a park I had it been to in about 12 years. I’m heading out shortly for a another old favorite. (Having lived elsewhere for 10 years, its fun to rediscover what’s here!) Then I have some serious garden work to do — planting a new arrowwood viburnum and moving a few things around. Have a lovely Friday, all!
8/8 - 183.6
Ugh. Water mostly, Fazoli’s carry out for dinner, plus too much food the day before. I could feel the salt spreading through me Last night and sucking up everything I drank! I feel puffy today. Planning to eat very light and drink (water) very heavy today. I planted a new viburnum yesterday and have lots of garden work planned for the weekend, expanding a couple of beds and moving things around. Have a lovely Saturday, all!
8/9 - 183.2
Boy, it goes on so much more easily than it comes off! But...calories well below goal yesterday, and I did lots of work in my garden...built two raised beds in a spot that regularly kills plants, so I’m hoping this will solve the problem; loaded, unloaded, and “installed” 10 40-lb bags of soil; replanted perennials in the new raised beds. Today I’m planning to begin enlarging the outlines of my herb bed (Below) — 7’ seemed like the right size when I started it last spring, but it’s slightly too small. But the bees and hummers like it anyway! I love to sit near it in the evening and inhale the scents — peppermint, spearmint, basil, oregano, two thymes, sage. Mmmmm! Better than eating!
8/10 - 182.6
I fell off the no snack wagon last night — I worked about 3 hours putting in a new garden bed and enla4ging another and I was hungry! Apparently I’ve flushed out the salt from the other day, though.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/05 - 322.4 - I always put some back on after an *eat* day. Usually much more than this. Hopefully, this is a good sign for a good loss this round. Instead of driving to a couple of local shops, I walked this morning. Wearing minimalist shoes has shortened my stride and I'm not having any knee trouble now, which is another really good thing.
08/06 - 319.7 - Surprised and fairly happy. But also concerned because I mayb be dropping a little too fast. I may have to institute my *slow down the weight loss* plan if I keep going too fast.
08/07 - 319.7 - OK. I NEVER stay the same after a day of eating. I ALWAYS go up 2-4 lbs. As much as I like staying under 320, I'll be keeping a very close eye on how much I drop in the next 18 hours. Two side notes to today: 1) I FINALLY got a job. After taking a year off after leaving my past position, I've had a helluva hard time finding work... especially because of Covid19. And 2) I am an emotional eater. And I was on a huge high after getting word about the job. Which normally means FOOD! And I was able to keep myself from indulging my mood by eating.
08/08 - 316.6 - Monstrous drop. Hormones? Less cortisol from the good news, yesterday? I'm dropping fast, again. I made the decision to change from a 4:3 alt. day intermittent fast plan to a 5:2 plan. I was fasting Mon., Wed., and Fridays. I started my journedy in mid-November 2019 and, if I get under 300 before Nov. 2020, made the decision to slow down my losses. I want to try and stick to a 2 lb./week loss, so getting udner 300 before November would be exceeding that rate. Honestly, it's exciting to FINALLY find a way to drop weight safely and quickly, but my male ego won't permit too much skin sag, so I want to slow it down. Now, one of the byproducts of AD IF is the eating of fat, dead or damaged cell, excess skin, etc. So, there may be times where I'll add in a 3 or 4 day waterfast each quarter, or so. I want to be one of those older people that can prove that a steady weight drop w/ IF can help mitigate excess skin sag.
08/09 - 319.6 - I expected the uptick. Still under 320, though!
08/10 - 320.3 - Always up after a weekend of eating, but still down 3.7 lbs. for the week and 8.7 lbs. over 2 weeks. I think I'll be dropping my gym membership @ Planet Fitness. The gym was closed Saturday morning w/out explanation which makes me nervous. Plus, not all the people are being as safe as they should. I just got hired for a job and the last thing I need is to be out for 2+ weeks with Covid. I did make a soup that turned out more like a stew, but with a broth vs. a gravy. Chicken and sage sausage w/ lentils. Last weeks attempt was a bit bland tasting, so I upped the seasoning. I like it, but Mom said it had too much seasong. So, I guess I've got about 10 qts. of pressure cooker soup/stew to myself.

I am joining this mid-stream. I am back on mfp after about a year. I don't like having weight-loss goals since those can be discouraging. So my NS goal is to stick with the program (log everyday, exercise or at least walk 10k everyday) for 4 weeks. I'll have to think of a small reward for that.
NSV - went on a 20 mile bike ride yesterday.

I've been off track for a while, and I was at my highest non-pregnancy weight ever. So I started on Keto on July 28th and am doing some moderate IF with a 9/15 schedule (10 am to 7 pm). Expecting to drop some water weight this week and then even out.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/05 202. I am 1.4 pounds down from yesterday which is good. I guess that means that I was still retaining water. I'm still 2.4 pounds heavier than my lowest weight last round, so I'm hoping to be at or below that at some point this round. I'm interested to see what happens.
08/06 201.6
08/07 200.2 Well, I think the mystery of why I gained weight near the end of last round and why I'm losing it quickly now has become apparent. I had a hysterectomy a couple of years ago, and so have a harder time tracking my hormonal changes throughout the month. When my weight shot up last week, the next day I noticed two pimples on my chin. I'm 52 so I'm thinking the cause of the gain and the pimples was hormonal. Because I don't "deserve" the losses like these ones this week just like I didn't "deserve" the gains last week. Several times in the past I might have given up. I'm glad I haven't. I need to remember this for the future. I have gained and lost the same 30 or so pounds four times in the last six years. I get down to the 190s and then get discouraged and fall off the wagon. Can't let that happen this time.
08/08 199.8. It's great to be below 200 again. Now to try to hang on to it.
08/09 199.2. A new low.
08/10 DNW. I was away this morning and didn't have access to my scale. Monday is usually my heaviest day of the week, so it kind of feels like cheating. I guess Tuesday might be my highest recorded weight this week.

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.
August focus: 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 122
2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Working on it. Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
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.

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. Recovered from back surgery then hip surgery!! Got back to walking then I sprained my ankle. UGH! hurt! I was down for 6 weeks with the ankle.
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

I'm really needing some accountability. Lost more than 25lbs, and fast-forward through a couple of car accidents, and quitting exercising, I find that I'm more than uncomfortable in my clothes! (And gained 25 back) I know I'm joining mid-way, so hopefully, will be in fully, next round. I need some butt-kicking...

08/05: 158.2No fun to see one more pound than expected. But it is what it is. Will not lament. Goals are no alcohol during the week, increase water, log everything and increase exercises (back pain minding)!Good logging everyone!!!
08/06: 157. 4 Happy to see a drop! I know all about water drops, which could be this, but it motivates, so I'll take it!
08/07: 157.2 Tougher day… I kept within calorie goal, but man was I hungry! Sore from increasing my walks the day before, lots of back pain so I didn’t get my steps but did my yoga.
08/08: 156.2 Enjoyed two great yoga workouts yesterday. Kept under max calories (incl workout calories). Happy to see numbers down.
08/09: Skipped weighing in… Sundays, I need to have a day in which I don’t have an emotional response to whatever the scale shows… And I know this is something I need to work on, but it’s my break day. But I did do my yoga workout.
08/10: 156.4 It has been very HOT in The Netherlands (35 celsius) with no air conditioning, so I’m retaining water!! So there was a small .2 gain… that’s OK! I haven’t done my yoga yet, but I will… maybe a bike rid as well… we’ll see.
08/11: 155.2 ACHIEVED MY 10 Day Goal!! happily surprised! Took so much care to drink extra water. With this heat wave, water retention is real! Keep on doing my yoga practice in hopes that my back pain reduces!!

08/05- 94.1kg - stuck to my calorie and macro goals (using IIFYM). No exercise but I was on my feet all day at work. Had fantastic self control at the cinema!
08/06- 92.4kg - food planned, stuck to my calorie and macro goals. Found Limelon which is amazing! I'm struggling to eat less carbs and up my protein. Think I need a shopping trip!
08/07- 92.5kg
08/08-92.1kg - had a total meltdown at lunch, did not have enough carbs for the day and was in a rush so couldn't cook. Ate all the cheese.
08/09- 92.1kg - totally gave in today. Binged on carbs because I was out at the beach with family. Kept within Kcl though.
08/10- 92.1kg - finally managed to hit my protein goal without needing a protein shake/bar! Managed to fit a chocolate bar into my macros too which made me super happy!

I took a few months off after over two years and 100lbs lost. I’ve slowly come out of Keto and got a 15lb water weight rebound. Physically I’m in the best shape of my life and I work out hard everyday. Back to counting calories.
Female/5’3.5”
Starting- 242
Ultimate Goal-135
Round Goal- figure out my daily calorie goal and get back into the habit of weighing and measuring.
8/11- 161.8 going swimming in the mountains today. I’ve been rocking a bikini this summer which has been a lesson in body acceptance. Danger zone will be the tired ride home in the summer haze driving by roadside ice cream shacks.
