08/07—DNW--Crazy week of visiting my elderly parents and then going back to work for the first time since March 12. Way too much celebratory eating.
08/08–179 Time to put on the breaks again.
08/09–178.4
08/10–177.8
08/11–176.4 Getting back in the swing of things. Bought healthy foods to have for lunch or snack at work. Feels great to be back with people (although I hate the blankety-blank masks).

Goal for 10 day challenge: -1.0 lb
08/05: 132.4 lbs - I've been dead-on with measuring food and getting my workouts in; joined the August running challenge to keep me accountable for getting my runs in.
08/06: 132.2 lbs - Yesterday was a rest day and my legs are sore from Tuesday lower workout!
08/07: 131.8 lbs - Made sure to stay on track with accurate food logging. Internet technician and project manager for our new roof were in our home until 7pm so I didn't get my normal workout in. Today will be a thrown together workout and longer run.
08/08: 131.2 lbs - Florida heat is no joke during runs 🥵 Just need to make sure I keep going down and not fluctuate up!
08/09: 132 lbs - Fluctuated up! I can definitely say it was dinner.
08/10: 131.6 lbs - Stayed in calorie range and no over-indulging of dinner. Today is upper weights and longer jog!
08/11: 132.0 lbs - Here's that fluctuation dance! Body probably holding onto water after the upper weights session

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)

Day/Weight/Comment
08/05 - 145 - So, either my scale was off yesterday, it's off today, or I drank enough water yesterday to shed 2 lbs. Tomorrow will tell the tale.
08/06 - 145.5 - Yesterday's weight must have been a little of all three. I'll take it.
08/07 - 146 - I was really hoping the scale was going to go the other way this morning. Oh well, I'll just keep plugging along.
08/08 - 145.5
08/09 - 145
08/10 - 145 - This looks good, but lately my weekend seems to catch up with me on Tuesday or Wednesday. I was pretty good this weekend, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow.
08/11 - 145.5 - Okay, I just hope it doesn't go up any more tomorrow. More water today.

08/11 - 153.7 - Inching down after a 30 minute yoga workout -- couldn't get my walk in with work. Dinner (ordered out but tried to keep healthy-ish) and (2) movie(s) night with the BF quarantine-style. Movie ended about 45 minutes later than I normally head to bed and then the dog decided to spaz out 45 minutes before my alarm was set to go off. Sitting at 5.5hrs of sleep according to my fitbit. I now have a bad headache and I'm beyond sleepy. My 9am got moved to this afternoon and I'm debating if I should just get ready, go for a run/walk (likely less running than planned due to sleepiness) then come back and nap or just not run at all and catch a nap. I suppose exercise is supposed to help with headaches so I might just do it for the fresh air and potential headache relief without meds.

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)
08/10 - 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.

Challenge Start Weight: 202
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.

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.
08/11: 210.2 / I hate typing this number in this morning, but it is exactly why I am a member of this group. An unexamined life can get out of control before you know it. If I can average 207 over the next 3 days, I will meet my goal.

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…
08/11 206.5 That’s what I am talking about! 1524 calories 11764 steps lunch and evening walk. So hot this summer I want to go swimming. My scale has settled back down.

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)
08/10 - 170.5 Bacon...and ham are the devil.
08/11 - 170.4 No time for exercise and necessary to eat past the IF window--family members out patient surgery went long--but turned out well. YAY! Medical providers are

In the last round I got down to 168.4, then we went camping for a few days. I ate pretty good, but since we were celebrating our first anniversary we did indulge in some chocolate, cake and wine. I wasn't tracking on here either because we didn't have service so I did the best I could. Amazing how fast my body gains weight! I'm already down to low 170's and getting back into the 160's!💪

08/11: 170.6- funny how I keep going back to this weight this past week. Overall I've been tracking and exercising. My body seems to be in a plateau. Just doesn't want to budge. On the plus side I'm feeling more fit. I know that I'm in a better spot than I was before. Need to keep focusing on the positives!

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!
08/11 179.2 feel like I don’t deserve it as I suddenly binged an entire Lindt chocolate bar last night, but I’ll take it. And stay on track today.

Round 122 SW: 183.5 (on 8/04/20)
8/05 – 183.9– This is not surprising as I just experienced a huge plunge in my weight, so I expect I am rebalancing now. Stationary bike and crunches today!
8/06 – 183.7 – Great weigh-in day for this week! More cardio on the schedule today
8/07 – 184.0 – Well, TOM arrived yesterday, along with its bloating and cramping, so I skipped cardio. It’s back on the schedule today
8/08 – 183.5 – Cardio has definitely helped, and some of my water retention has released – excellent!
8/09 – 183.0 - Last day of our Staycation today, then it’s back to work and home schooling tomorrow.
8/10 – 183.2 – Normal, little micro-fluctuation. It’s Monday and I’m sooooo tired. I need to avoid “tired snacking”

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.
08/11 - 318.3 - And back on the downswing. That's 2.6 down from 1 week ago. One of things I've always hated about the East Coast is humidity in the summer. I was going to walk this morning, but 96% humidity put the kibosh on that. I'll drag my butt into the kitchen later to make keto bread. I've seen enough recipes that I think I can do it. Not really into keto, but extra processed carb calories are a no-no.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 122 (round 54 for me ) I'm in for another round (of course!) – I need to just keep going! As always, thank you @GrandmaJackie such a champion particularly in these unprecedented & unsettled times, helping keep some stability in our lives, for setting up these challenges.
Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
Goal for this round – I really need to take myself in hand and get a move on, these extra pounds are settling on me too easily and I don't like it; but I've only got myself to blame. So I need to try to lose 1.5 pounds ! Our bathroom is being refurbished now for the next 3 weeks; miles will be more difficult to achieve whilst the workmen are here, but I'll try to get an hour or so in before they arrive and then some in the evening around commitments with MIL care. I know I've said it before , but I need to 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!End of round 69 134.2 lbsKeep calm – we're all in this together!

08/05 134.2 7.41 miles walked yesterday. 710 calories in credit and all macros in green. DGS still doing well.
08/06 133.6 whoosh !! just shows what a difference it makes when I log everything that passes through my lips !! I'm guessing with normal fluctuations I will be up tomorrow - 7.66 miles walked yesterday, 807 calories in credit, all macros in green. 8 hours scraping wallpaper off.
08/07 133 – whoowhoo! 8.22 miles walked yesterday. 458 calories in credit, carbs 1g over. Another 7 hours scraping wallpaper off; I swear the previous owners used superglue to stick it on !!!
08/08 133.6 – thought yesterday was too good to be true, but I'm fine with this. 4.91 miles walked yesterday, another 6 hours of scraping, but it's finished!! I couldn't find wallpaper scraping in the exercise activity, but I sweated buckets each of those 3 days & I've lost weight, but yesterday was 255 calories, 52g carbs & 5g fat over on macros !! Friday night is the start of our weekend, but I didn't go mad & logged every mouthful.
08/09 134.4 – yoyo !! Only 3.12 miles walked yesterday; took 2 year old DGS out for the day, just played!! 641 calories, 109g carbs & 20g fat over (pizza last night) – that's what happens when my mileage is dramatically short!! Never mind today is another day !!
08/10 134.4 - 11 miles walked yesterday, 738 calories in credit, all macros in green -that's better!! DGS#2 is still doing well, better now they've sorted his pain relief out, he is more contented and can concentrate on recovery!
08/11 134.4 – 7.49 miles walked yesterday, 432 calories in credit, all macros in green.

I normally wouldn't respond to posts like this, but I can see how discouraged you are. And then offer some UNsolicited advice: I think maybe you aren't eating enough calories. It's obvious that you are walking PLENTY, but your calorie intake doesn't seem to be high enough. Are you feeling more tired since you cut your calories? My advice would be to check what your calorie intake SHOULD be (on a TDEE - then reduce it by ONLY 200-300 calories OR use MyFitnessPal to find that number). When the body consistently doesn't get enough calories, it will keep you for working/exercising at a high level. I am NOT advising this, ONLY telling you what I have done... intermittent fasting. FOR ME, and only from my experience, I have lost 85 lbs. since Nov. 2019. I started with a simple 16/8 and gradually increased the amount of time in fasting mode. I am now doing alternate day fasting. For a better source of info than me, check out Dr. Jason Fung or Dr. Sten Ekberg on YouTube. Both have great info and are VERY inspiring. Just my 2 cents worth. I really wish you the best in your journey!5 -
Posting for accountability: Did the run afterall. Fitbit interval thing (did it backwards, oops. 10sec sprint, 30 sec walk but supposed to be opposite). I'm struggling to keep my eyes open as I drink my coffee. Headache gone, though. Yippee!! Definitely require a nap today to function.7

08/05 - 145.8 - I think that this is my 28th round, so it will be 280 days. 12 pounds lost in 27 rounds. Mostly a downward trend with around 5 rounds where it went up. Loving the accountability and the posts here.
08/06 - 145.8 - Extra workouts yesterday, but extra food and cocktails too. Glad to not have gained.
08/07 - 147.1 - Not sure why my weight jumped, taking it in stride and hoping to see it go back down tomorrow.
08/08 - 145.8 - Yesterday's weird fluctuation gone. I plan to work out more over the weekend and prep healthy food for the week to come.
08/09 - 146.4 - Had a few cocktails yesterday which always derails my weight loss. Back on the horse.
08/10 - 146.8 - Weighed earlier than usual.
08/11 - 146.4 - Matching the last 10s EW, staying diligent.

@kecward78 Keith, my DH checked out PF when they reopened and said it looked good but he went about a week later and said he’s not going back. He said people weren’t masking OR wiping off the equipment. He didn’t mention whether the employees were cleaning. I suspended my membership for 3 months and can do that again. White card is free through our insurance and black card is discounted. I love their machines though!7

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!

Round 122 goal: 129.X
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.
8/11: 230.8 (-0.6)/19.7 (-0.1). Can I just say how much I love TrendWeight (the graph at the bottom of my posts)? I try to keep track of my weight on a per challenge basis, with total weight and body fat % lost, and averages of both for the 10-day period. It works out pretty well, but it's still a snapshot of what's happened over a 10-day period, and it really does not capture the jist of what's really happening at any moment. Enter TrendWeight (or any other graph people are using). I was inspired by COVID-19, really... those 10-day rolling averages anything COVID-19 related. With this tool, I know EVERY DAY if I'm still "headed in the right direction." My weight goes up and down regularly (mostly predictably, if I'm being honest with myself), but based on my graph (which is based, I believe, on the 10-day rolling average), my hard work is paying off. Just FYI, I know no one at TrendWeight, and I have no financial ties to it, or anyone from it.
