Day/Weight/Comment
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...

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

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

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!

Average W/BF% lost per round: 4.74/0.47
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.

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...

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!
Thank you. I'll check it out. I always seem to stall around this weight but I am working harder than I have last year or the year before.

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!
I went back 3 times after my local PF reopened. Most people were wiping down the equipment, but not all. As usual, the employees are more interested in their computer screens than watching us on the equipment. I know they clean pretty thoroughly each night, but during the day I'm not seeing as much.
My home equipment includes a new jumprope (I still feel a little too heavy to jump... but I'm getting close. 300 lbs maybe?), DDPYoga (very easy and very adaptable), kettlebells (which really tires me out when I swing the bells), plus dumbells, TRX straps and Rip trainer, plus bands. I need a couple more things like a bench and pullup bar, but the more I consider it, the more I don't need the gym membership. Why waste the gas driving? Or my health/mom's health?8 -

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 enlarging another and I was hungry! Apparently I’ve flushed out the salt from the other day, though.
8/11 - 182.2
Big storms last night. We had no damage other than power outage and internet just came back, but our next door neighbor’s beautiful big crabapple broke mid-trunk and is across both our yards. Fortunately, it didn’t hit either house. Other friends also have trees down. I hope whoever else was in the path of this derecho is ok.

I went back 3 times after my local PF reopened. Most people were wiping down the equipment, but not all. As usual, the employees are more interested in their computer screens than watching us on the equipment. I know they clean pretty thoroughly each night, but during the day I'm not seeing as much.
My home equipment includes a new jumprope (I still feel a little too heavy to jump... but I'm getting close. 300 lbs maybe?), DDPYoga (very easy and very adaptable), kettlebells (which really tires me out when I swing the bells), plus dumbells, TRX straps and Rip trainer, plus bands. I need a couple more things like a bench and pullup bar, but the more I consider it, the more I don't need the gym membership. Why waste the gas driving? Or my health/mom's health?
I want TRX straps so bad!! I'm envious of your setup. I had to get rid of my stationary rower and bike when I moved due to lack of space and boy do I miss them!3 -

...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.

🌾🎍🌵🌴🌳🏖🎡⛱🌳🌴🌵🎍🌾
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.

Day - Weight - Comment
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.

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
