08/05 …..209.8 …... Good luck everyone this round!
08/06 …..209.8 …..
08/07 …..209.6 ….. I basically burned it off with lots of hard work yesterday. Diet still not completely on point. 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.
08/08 …..209.8 ….. Sodium/Water retention for sure.
08/09 …..209.8 …..
08/10 …..209.5 ….. Lots of heavy cabin cleaning and regular Sunday duties burned many calories. Diet was not exactly on point but my quantities were low and no junk food.
08/11 …..209.5 …..
08/12 …..209.7 ….. Little fluctuations up & down. Primarily at a standstill. musicsax Thanks for the continued updates on DGS. Such good news! My prayers will continue and I, too, will pray for the donor family. Such a WONDERFUL gift.
08/13 …..209.6 ….. I continue to have very little to offer everyone at this point except my support and respect. With so much going on and so many changes, my main goal is to keep my eye on the ball, so here I continue to be! You can’t play if you don’t know where the ball is, right? Thanks for the continued information, inspiration and kind wishes for me. You guys are the best!

5'6" 38 years old. Furloughed for 3 months now. COVID really through me off I was already on path of weight lost through early March. Lost about 15 pounds. Then the stress of COVID made me turn to Oreos.( Cringe!) Put back on 10 pounds. Watching my calories, and walking a couple of times of week but progress was slow. Recently my weight has been dropping and my sister suggested this group:

08/07 DNW - I got my bike ride in and will be food prepping. I need to plan to drink a lot of water today. My workout from yesterday got rescheduled to tomorrow. Yesterday I started to plan for the new school year. The stress of it started overwhelming me so I need to be careful that I don't emotionally eat. I have to manage the stress productively.

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 gist 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.
8/12: 230.6 (-0.2)/19.7 (0.0). I had a great dinner last night: super-healthy, totally fit within my plan. But my wife wanted a glass of wine, and she prefers not to drink alone. I succumbed. Alcohol seems like it has been a HUGE contributor any time my weight is not moving in the right direction, and it make sense. I limited it to one glass of wine yesterday, but I don't even WANT to drink right now. I would much rather have consistent success right now, and to feel motivated EVERY day. I told her afterwards that I need to take a break from drinking. She can do what she wants, but I am going to need her to respect that I am not in the same place that she is. If I want to have a drink, that's fine. But I can't give in to peer pressure. I have not exercised since two days ago. I am going to try my best to lift weights tonight after work.
8/13: 229.0 (-1.6)/19.5 (-0.2). When I'm on-plan, I lose weight. It seems like a pretty simple proposition at this point. I'm still pretty early in my journey, so this "rule" fits better now than it will later. The closer I get to my weight goal, the slower my progress will be: not because of lack of effort, but because that's how it generally works. I still have not lifted weights since a few days ago. I'm going to get some breakfast, and then I'll get in a light workout. It's really important that I get exercise fully back into the equation. I just need to remember to be patient and kind with myself. Good habits are built over time. I have a pretty good handle on food right now; it's time to get some momentum with exercise.

Donna - You are an excellent example to all of us ... stick with reporting in. When I fall off and don't monitor myself I lose control. You on the other hand might fall off but are reporting in ... which means you are in control of you destiny!!
"It doesn't matter how slowly you go, as long as you don't stop!"
Good luck with your journey ... may we both find ourselves a path out and reach our goals.

behavioral goal - no mindless snacking
Day/Weight/Comment
08/05 - 221 no snacking
08/06 - 219.8 - still in the rapid water loss phase of things - no snacking
08/07 - 220.6 - pizza for dinner, still under calorie goal but over on the sodium - no snacking
08/08 - 220.4 - one small snack - 7 pringles, logged it and still under calories
08/09 - 219.6
08/10 - 219.0 Goal met!! 4 days left - I think I will revise my goal weight to 218.5, but since my scale only registers 0.2 changes I will go for 218.6
08/11 - 218.6 I think there may be some dehydration going on there - upset stomach all day yesterday - will try to avoid a rebound
08/12 - 217.4 ?? I don't think that can be right, but that is what the scale says. I will hold on the fanfare until I see what the next 2 days bring.
08/13 - IDK First scale reading was 216.8 - don't think that can be right. Tried again and got 219.4, I hope that's not right. I was sedentary yesterday but I stayed under my calories. 3rd time it was 218.2 - maybe right ??

I had a pretty low calorie count for breakfast and lunch. This afternoon I went to a taco Bell to check out their parking lot on a recommendation from a client. They used permeable pavers for stormwater management. While I was there... Well, let's just say I'm still on track for a decent day for calories. But my salt intake might be a little steep today. :-)6

08/05 - 65.8kg - Didn't meet eating goals, but did get a lot of work done.
08/06 - 66.6kg - Binged yesterday and saw the effects on the scale today. Didn't snack at all today though and got a 60-minute workout in!
08/07 - 66.6kg - Whoops, looks like it got stuck. Worked out outside early in the morning; it made the whole day a thousand times better.
08/08 - 66.6kg - Not quite sure why it's so high, maybe water retention? Continuing to avoid snacking.
08/09 - 66.2kg - aha! Trending down:) IF back on and going well.
08/10 - 65.8kg - Another morning workout + trying to stay hydrated in this crazy heat!
08/11 - 66.5kg - Those constant fluctuations are testing my motivation but I got a really good workout in today. Still successfully avoiding snacking between meals.
08/12 - 66.1kg - Today was a good day: lots of walking, a 30-minute workout, 2+ litres of water. Dinner was a bit late but hopefully the long walk with the dog right after helps me burn those calories.
08/13 - 66.5kg - Sore from the recent workouts so rested today (still got 10k+ steps in).

🌾🎍🌵🌴🌳🏖🎡⛱🌳🌴🌵🎍🌾
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.

It's been a bit of a rollercoaster coming back to accountability. I got cocky at the start and embarrassed by the results. I'm not giving up. And maintaining consistency (or at least trying).

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...
Round 122
SW: 8/9 139lbs Goal: 115 Goal: Walking 20 mins daily (done) ETA: One knee was messed up in a car accident-which then caused the other knee to start acting up, due to babying the injured knee. When everything either hurts (or has hurt) it is easy to excuse one's self.
8/10 137.4lbs Walking 20 mins (done) Weight fluctuation due to absence of junk food? Water weight?
8/11 136.6 Walking (Leslie Sansone 'Walk off fat fast') 15 mins (my butt was kicked at 15 mins!) My weekend of wild and wanton eating must have skewed my SW. I'm okay with that, because the way my clothes have been fitting, thought I was easily 10lbs heavier!

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!

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
08/12 133.8 – 7.95 miles walked yesterday, 473 calories in credit, 3 carbs over.
08/13 133.4 – 6.24 miles walked yesterday, not such a good food day, 258 calories over and all macros over respectively
08/14 133.4 - 8.62 miles walked yesterday, 749 calories in credit, all macros in green. I'm happy with that; 1.8 pounds lost from the end of last round – I was aiming for the 2 pounds from the last round but 1, but as last round I lost 0.2 that makes the 2 pound !! So inwards and upwards they say, here it should be onwards and downwards !! See you all in the next round. (DGS still doing well.)
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE. Keep calm – we're all in this together!

@deepwoodslady - sometime life just gets in the way and when that happens other things have to be put on hold, but you are hanging on in there and that is good. Please don't disappear cuz you're discouraged at the numbers, you can take the bull by the horns when you are good and ready again and that time will come trust me. In the meantime keep checking in with us, we are here for you when you need us - friends to lean on. I hope we will still see you in the next round, big hugs to you, take care xx.6

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: 153.4 WHAT?!? I’m just ecstatic!!!
08/12: 153.4 Keeping up with my goals of more water, no snacking, tracking and adding to my yoga routine (back pain is still pretty bad)!
08/13 I messed up my dates somewhere!!!
08/14: 152.8 Super Happy with the results of this challenge. It was a great way to kick-start again!!! I’m still sticking to my calorie numbers. Must say, I’m feeling empowered throughout this first 10-day challenge. Looking forward to the next!!!8 -

5 months till next physical
08/05 - Previous week started walking 2 miles per day; Started AF today
08/06 - 241
08/07 - Started drinking 80-100 oz water and walking 3 miles per day
08/08 - Hiking the hills in Austin with my son & his wife
08/09 - 240.4 - Added 15 min on bike and hand weight routine + low carb low cal day
08/10 - 238.4 - Started Keto for Life 4 week plan by Mellissa Sevigny (modified)
08/11 - 237.9 - digging in the yard moving dirt on top of my exercise this week … trying to get rid of the areas that hold water when we have heavy rains
08/12 - 236.5 Added 5reps 20sec modified planks to my routine ... core baby steps
08/13 - 235.1 It is always encouraging to see the darn pounds that I gained this year melt away when I focus and work hard to get back into gear for weight loss. I’m back to what I weighed at the beginning of 2020. YEAH!
NOTE to self … you hate gaining and losing the same pounds over and over so push through and continue!
08/14 - 234.8 - Down 6.2 lbs this round! No alcohol this round. That made it easier but not sure how long I can keep that up … missing my wine.🍷
NOTE to self … Targeting 1200-1400 calories, net carbs <20, 100 oz water, and exercising is working for me. I am not focusing on the full Keto 5%netcarbs/25%protein/70%fat macro at this time ... just calories and carbs. Intermittent fasting (water/coffee only no snacking) from 7pm-8am (13hrs) also is comfortable for me so far … remember this! I’m not skipping meals just the snacking before dinner & after drinking and late late dinners. Since I’m an early riser I moved my walking up earlier in the morning so that I can get in a few more hours of fast before breakfast and beat the heat. I’m not hungry.😊

SW (Oct 2019): 160.2 lbs
GW: 120 lbs
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
08/12: 131.2 lbs - Had my best run yet last night!
08/13: 131 lbs - Was planning to do a little run last night, but didn't. Was out after work with my mom trying to find her a Mother of the Bride dress. Tonight is weight session and run:)
08/14: 130.6 lbs! Had a great strength session but then a storm decided to start so I couldn't get my run in.
Challenge start: 132.4 lbs
Challenge end: 130.6 lbs
I achieved my goal of -1.0 lb by actually losing 1.8 lbs!
Feels good! 0.4lbs shy of 30lbs gone since October! Fingers crossed that I get to 128 lbs by Labor Day to succeed in the labor day challenge as well! 5 -
