I'm in for my 1st round!
Female, Age 50, 5'4"
Highest Weight = 181.4
Ultimate Goal Weight = 134
Round 124 Goal = Under 176
Day/Weight/Comment
08/25 = 178.0 (down 2.4 from yesterday) Nice "loss" from yesterday but really that was an inflated number from the weekend overeating. Still up .3 from Friday's weight. But happy it is heading in the right direction!
08/26 = 177.1 (down .9 from yesterday) Went on a run yesterday with my husband and ate well & within my calorie range all day but eventually went over as we had wine and & a snack later in the evening. Expect the number to bump up tomorrow, as it usually take 2 days for the scale to reflect that for me.
08/27 = 177.9 (up .8 from yesterday), there's the slight uptick I was expecting from Tuesday night's over indulgences. Yesterday was an okay day calorie wise but was in the higher part of my allowed calorie range. Wanted to go for a run as it was great weather and supposed to storm all day today but husband's knee can't do two runs in a row, so we are hoping the weather cooperates today.
08/28 = 177.2 (down .7 from yesterday) Last Friday when I weighed in, I was 177.7 so only down a half pound these last 7 days but most of this week was spent getting the scale to come down after a weekend filled with high caloric takeaways. But I've been consistently making better choices since Monday so feel like I'm in a better place as this new weekend starts. Exercise wise, the weather didn't cooperate for running yesterday but am planning to get a run in on my lunch hour today and looking forward to a chicken Caesar salad for dinner. Other positives, doing great with IF 16/8 & Alcohol Free for the most part, allowing adult beverages only 1 night per week.
08/29 = 176.5 (down .7 from yesterday) Finally got another run in yesterday, felt great with lower temps and humidity. Fall is my favorite running weather, although this summer's heat has not been too bad. It's raining and thunderstorming here all day today, so planning on a relaxing day indoors reading and maybe some yoga.
08/30 = 176 (down .5 from yesterday) So close to my goal round weight, now just need to stay on the downward trend! I weighed in a little later this morning, so I am okay if this bumps up a little bit tomorrow, still plenty of time to make my round goal and have it stick. On plan for today is a nice outdoor run and husband is home for dinner (due to work he is only home for a family dinner 2-3 times a week) so I'll be cooking tonight. The recipe I'm planning will fit in my calorie allotment but I just need to be stricter with my calories for lunch to make it work. I normally pre-log my food into MFP in the morning, so that there are no surprises & usually leave a little wiggle room to adjust my choices as needed. Have a great day everyone!
08/31 = 174.8 (down 1.2 from yesterday) Wasn't expecting this drop, I'll believe it when I see that it sticks for tomorrow's weigh-in! The weather was great for yesterday's run (low 70's) but I ran later than I planned, at about 18 hours into my fast, so my legs were fairly sluggish on the way out but I felt better on the way back. Then it was a quick shower and out the door to run errands, so my fast actually lasted a little over 20 hours not the usually 16. They could be a reason for the bigger scale drop. Enjoyed 3 glasses of wine (measured the oz. in each glass) watching the Tour De France with my husband and still stayed in a good calorie deficit. All in all a nice weekend

ROUND 124
I’m a 5’ 8”, 45 yo Mom of 2 young ones. The lockdown had me squeaking toward 200, so I knew I had to start taking better care of myself!
Original SW: 196.2 lb (6/11/20)
GOAL Weight: 165 lb
Total weight loss to date: 13.9 lb
17.3lb to go!
R121: -3.1 lb✔️
R122: -1 lb ✔️
R123: -.2 lb ✔️
Round 124 SW: 182.3 (on 8/24/20)
08/25 – 181.1 – Starting off pretty well for this round! I’m hoping this drop will stick.
08/26 – 180.3 - - I’ve been making sure to get in my 3 goals of calories, steps & water, and it looks like that has been working.
08/27 – 180.0 – Whoooo!! MFP says I’ve now lost 51% of my target! It took me 11 weeks to get half-way there!
08/28 – 179.8 – Yes, yes! I am starting to see the 170s!
08/29 – 179.6 – I have had great trajectory this week. I am going to be extra careful on my calories today because my son’s birthday is tomorrow. Pizza and cake is what he has requested for the day, so that’s what he will get
08/30 – 180.4 – Not sure what happened here, because I kept within my normal calorie window. That just shows you that these fluctuations happen even when we’re careful. We have a birthday celebration in the house today so watch out tomorrow
08/31 – DNW – Yeah, I am actually scared to step on the scale after the birthday party yesterday….

SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110
Previous rounds: 125.2 -> 122.8 -> 121.6 -> 121.2 -> 119.8-> 119.4 -> 117.8 ->116.6 -> 117.2 ->117.2->114.8 ->116.8 -> 116.4
Goal weight for this round: Somewhere in the lower 115 or 114 range
Previous days08/25 116.6 I went for another walk this morning because I just wasn’t feeling a higher intensity workout today. I even made a chicken friend along the way. It was so funny and made my morning! He was quite friendly too. Luckily, I saw a couple who lived in the neighborhood and told me it was okay for him to be roaming around. I was worried about him running away from home lol.
Typical breakfast planned. My snack is going to be a caprese salad because we got gorgeous tomatoes and basil in our csa. I think dinner will be some sort of steak tips, but not sure what we’ll have with them. Most likely salad because we also got lots of greens with the CSA. Have a good Tuesday!
08/26 (posted on 8/27) 115.8 Getting back down to 114 would be so nice, but I guess I’ll take it one pound at a time. Ups and downs are normal but so annoying haha. Food was on point yesterday and today should be too. I’m making pulled pork for diner and looking forward to it. I think I’ll make some sort of slaw to eat with it and top it with some zucchini refrigerator pickles I made a few weeks back.
08/27 115.6 Didn’t end up posting my blurb yesterday. I wrote it out but never had a minute to post it. We went on a nice walk in the woods today for our workout. It was lovely 😊. Today is another busy day and we are having some left over pulled pork for dinner with salad, black beans, and tomatoes. Yum! Have a good day!
08/28 116.8 Awesome workout this morning and will be getting a 3 mile walk in later today as I walk to pick up my car that’s in the shop. It’s a gorgeous day, so I figured why not get the extra walk versus have my husband give me a ride.
So, I think I’m going to try and lose super slow (already happening) because with my mother in law being in the hospital/sick people have been continuously bringing food by and I can’t control that because that’s life. Her friends want to help us all out and their kindness is truly appreciated….but it’s not too kind on my hips. I’ve been able to essentially maintain this month since the food train has started, but it’s hard to lose when you have no idea of the recipe. In the meantime, until the onslaught of food stops, I’ll just keep on doing what I am doing and track as much as I can. It’s also really hard to say no to take-out when you it’s put right in front of your face and you know it’ll be wasted if you don’t eat it. So that’s my food venting for the day.
Any ways have a happy Friday and I’m going to go eat my granola, fruit, and yogurt!
08/29 116.0 Already got a spin bike workout in this morning. Today will be a day filled with chores so that I can have a lazy day tomorrow. Dinner tonight will be left over pulled pork with broccoli and a tomato & greens salad. The dinner train dropped off baked pasta last night which was very rich but I had a giant tomato sliced with some fresh mozzarella before the pasta to help fill me up. It worked well because I was able to have a reasonable serving with one meatball. I felt very satisfied after eating it all, but I didn’t feel like I did much damage. I even managed to lose some water weight overnight 😊. Have a good weekend!
08/30 115.0 I’ll take the whoosh 😊. My husband and I went for a 4 mile walk this morning and just finished watching a soccer game we DVR’d last night. Solid day so far! Breakfast/lunch will be the last of the baked pasta with 2 meatballs, my snack will be left over canned pumpkin with yogurt and granola, and dinner will be a big salad and 2-3 fried eggs.
I downloaded Happyscale to get a different view of my weight data. It’s interesting the different views and options you have to observe the trends. I just splurged on the one-time payment for their premium option and I already love the extras! So, that’ll be a fun app to look at each day as well. It has me reaching my “running average” 110lb goal in May of next year, and I’m okay with that. I just need to remind myself that I’m not in a race.
I feel the best I have about my body and health (except for my borderline high cholesterol of 202 I just found out about, although the ratio is decent and the HDL is at a good level, so not too worried). In relation to my cholesterol, I’m going to start bringing more healthy fats (I eat plenty of fiber so I know I don’t need more of that to help my cholesterol) into my diet because those will help my cholesterol levels. I had borderline high cholesterol in the past, but reversed it with diet and exercise in my early 20s… now it has creeped back at 29 almost 30. I think with all of the calorie counting, I have been shying away from including as much healthy fats than I used to which could have had an impact on my cholesterol levels. Or my levels were higher back in April when I started this but I will never know. I would hope that losing ten pounds and exercising most days of the week has had a positive effect though. Who knows! That’s my book of a post today. Have a happy Sunday!
08/31 114.6 We did a great running workout this morning on the soccer field. Man is grass tough to run in at times. You don’t feel quite so light on your feet compared to asphalt. But with that resistance of the grass equals a better workout and it’s nicer on my hips and knees.
Today will be a good day food wise and will consist of typical stuff for me 😊. Through tracking my weight daily since April, I have finally realized the time of month when I am at my lightest and it’s right around now. So, going forward, I will continue to weigh every day but not worry as much about the fluctuations and just have a month to month comparison. As I look at the data, it definitely shows a gradual decline despite all the annoying blips up. So, I guess I’m just feeling better about it all mentally… and that is so important!
Happy Monday!

8/28 165.0 I took off from mid-February until now. I was stuck and discouraged. The pandemic has forced me back to my home office. I was unable to get my roommate in to a new place because first she was laid off, second due to all her health issues she is high risk (COPD/Asthma) and while she's a nightmare roommate she is still my friend. I have gained 9 pounds since I left this Challenge. I am still walking almost daily. I should hit the challenge goal of 1020km (approx 634 miles) this year. Walking is the only thing that has kept me sane. I didn't walk today because my foot has been bothering me (broken in a car accident almost 30 years ago) and I'm antsy already. I went from traveling 3 weeks a month to basically not leaving my house. I am an extrovert, a loud goofy sales person so being home 24/7 is my least favorite thing to do. We were told last week we will continue to work from home until the end of the year, then they will reevaluate. So what I keep thinking is temporary isn't. Time to face the music and stop living in a temporary "I can do what I want while this BS is going on" mode. I have continued to track, though not seriously. I started a few days ago and was shocked at the calories I was eating. If I hadn't been walking I would probably have gained 20. I loved the support I got here before and it does make me more accountable to myself. And since I'm sure you've missed seeing pics of my adorable niece here is one to start this off with a bang. She was helping me with setting up my laptop.
8/29 166.1 Walked 3.04 miles Wrong way already. I weighed over the weekend but didn't post.
8/30 166.5 Walked 3.21 miles Still wrong.
8/31 DNW Might walk after work or at lunch if the rain slows down. I've already eaten breakfast and forgot to weigh. I'm out of the habit. I was bad all weekend. Getting back on track is going to be challenging for me. Avocado toast for breakfast on a rainy late summer morning is a pretty good start though.9 -
Back in for 2nd round since coming back. Goals are to get under 165.0 and be there for at least 5 out of the 10 weigh ins. Also drink more water and stay away from fast food. We will see how it goes. Ended last round at 169.0
08/25 - 168.3 down a little bit from yesterday, so I will take it. Brought my lunch and breakfast to work this morning, so no excuses to grab lunch out today. Did great until I got home last night and we decided to make steak fajitas for dinner. Probably had a little more guacamole and chips then I should have, but I will keep working at it.
08/26 - 167.4 At least it is continuing to go down. Really wanted to be lower this morning, but I guess I will be happy with where I am. Brought my lunch and breakfast to work again this morning, so no excuses to eat out. Dinners still aren't great, but I am really looking to get under 165 at this point. I can't believe I gained 30 pounds in 7 months. It will probably take me 18 months to lose it, lol.
08/27 - 166.4 Met all my goals yesterday and even turned down McDonald's for dinner. The hubby and I went four wheeling in the mountains with our new Jeep and then decided to pick dinner up. Guess where the kids wanted to eat? Everybody ordered food, but I decided to go home and eat left overs from the night before. I did eat a couple of fries off the kids plates, but way better than it could have been. Getting closer to my goal, so we will see how the rest of the week plays out. All 3 meals are planned for today already so we should be good on that front.
08/28 - 166.4 Fridays use to be my official weigh-in day, but I will start that next week. Stuck to my plan yesterday, probably had a little to much soy sauce on my rice for dinner, but only had a small portion and didn't go back for seconds even though I could have. First full week back on track and I am ok with where I am at this point. Last time I was super strict and over did it. This time if it takes me a little longer I am ok with that. I want to be able to sustain instead of feeling restricted.
08/29 - 163.1 Nice! I did an unintentional 24 hr fast yesterday so I am expecting a bounce up tomorrow, but a happy today. I was slammed at work all day and realized I hadn't eaten anything around 3. I get off at 4 so there was no reason to eat my lunch at that point. So I waited until I got home. I then found out that DH had eaten lunch at 4 because he was slammed and had some errands for us to run. So we didn't get home till well after 8. I just went to bed at that point as I was exhausted from the week and did not feel like cooking.
08/30 - 165.8 I figured that this would happen. Ate normal yesterday, but not some of the best food choices. We went 4 wheeling in the new Jeep again (my husband is obsessed) with both of our girls and then stopped off at a local burger place to eat lunch. I tried to stay away from the fries, but did have a couple. Then had a light dinner of cheesy potato skins, probably not my best option, but it's what I went with.
08/31 - 164.2 Had to go up to my MIL house and do some work. She made breakfast burritos (egg, potato & green chile) for us around 11. We got back home at 5 and neither one of us were hungry. My husband had multiple cookies with milk and I had a big glass of water and a pickle. I am hoping I am lower tomorrow. I am sure the salt from the pickle added to my weigh in this am. If I can end the round at 163.xx I will be happy. That means I would have lost 6 pounds my first week back. I know the next round won;t be as good or as much, but I will be happy with this one.

@ChrysalisCove Being “stuck” is better than going up! Your body is adjusting.
@MTW70 Kudos! I wish I could make it past 18 hours fasting. Other than feeding my husband I think I could but fixing lun-ner for him causes me to cave!3 -

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.

8/25 116.5 I got sidetracked reading this morning. My husband was in a fender bender yesterday morning and as a result, I cancelled my PT so I stopped reading here and just did my home exercises. DH and car are not severely damaged. I am noticing SUCH a difference from the therapy exercises that I WANT to go back to the gym! WOW! You have NO IDEA how huge that is for me! The cat does NOT like me using HIS floor to do home exercises!
8/26 117.0
8/27 116.5 LOL Just noticed the typo in the post I made this morning. Of course my buds are “seeing” it makes SEWING so much easier!! Ate lunch at the New Mexican restaurant yesterday. I ate soooo many carbs! But it was SOOOO GOOD! Totally worth it, I have half leftover for lunch at “sew day.” I had an amazing day with my gal pals!
8/28 116.0 Tomorrow we’re going out of town all day to visit my college BFF. She and her SO and 2 cats have become full timers in an RV. He makes homemade pasta but they are aware of my WOE so it could be interesting!
8/29 117.0 McD’s breakfast on the road, Will’s meatloaf, mashed potatoes and salad
8/30 117.5 A picture from the place Marge and I went yesterday while Will took Carl to Delamar.
8/31 116.5 Great Greek yesterday for my OMAD. One of favorite “fall backs” when nothing sounds good to eat. I can’t believe I didn’t post yesterday!7 -

Round 124
My Round 2!
Jillian Age 34 and 5'1"
HSW: 179.8
CSW: 176.4
GW: 130
RGW: 173 and increase exercise session length
Round 123 (1): 179.8 to 176.4 (-3.4)
🏃 08/25:174.6 So far so good! I didn't expect things to go so well so quickly. I am happy. I am staying within my calorie limits and it seems like 1400 is just fine along with lots of water. I am playing Ring Fit Adventure everyday. It is very fun. Even though the actual exercises are in short bursts, they are intense enough to give me a good workout. However, I am so sore today that it will be difficult to make myself workout tonight.
🏃 08/26:174.4 My weight is essentially the same, but today is a different sort of victory because I finally lost whatever water weight made me lose drastically in the first few days. I had 5 pounds of it! The other success is that starting all of this daily exercise is making me feel really great. My energy is up and I am enjoying life. I stayed within calorie limits as well and tried to drink more water. My exercise for yesterday was Just Dance 2020 on the Switch. I danced for 50 minutes, which estimated my calories burned at 311.61, but I am a wild dancer, so I suspect it was more. 😂
🏃 08/27:174.4 I am staying steady, so I won't let myself get discouraged. I know I should be losing based on my activity and calorie intake, but I know it will come off over time. I just need to be patient! I played Ring Fit Adventure yesterday. Today, I am going to play Just Dance 2020 for an hour. I am also going to download a free Jump Rope game on the Switch and try to add that to my mornings starting tomorrow. Right now, just getting into habits are key.
🏃 08/28:175.8 Even though I stayed below my calorie limit and exercised, I had consumed a massive amount of sodium due to a combination of tortilla soup and ramen. Lmao. This was definitely water weight. I will keep a closer eye on my sodium intake from now on.
🏃 08/29:174.0 I didn't make it to any exercise yesterday, but stayed below both my calorie count and my sodium count. Today, I will play my fitness games on my switch.
🏃 08/30:173.2 I'm happy to see this drop even though I again didn't play my fitness games. It seems like I am still reaping the rewards from my previous workouts. It looks like I will probably surpass my weight goal for this round!
🏃 08/31:172.8 Hooray! I'm very thankful to whomever started these challenge rounds because I know they are the main reason I am able to stay on track with logging my meals and exercising. It would feel really great even if I weren't losing, but the drops are a definite bonus. I was able to play Ring Fit Adventure. I also started the free 100 Day Jump Rope challenge. It hardly takes any time, so that one should be daily even if I don't get any other exercise in.

A friend brought a gorgeous big vine-ripened cantaloup yesterday — mmmmm. Also tomatoes and peppers. I see a beautiful salad in my future! 🥗 We’re under a heat advisory today and it’s already hot, so I’m not walking unless it cools down this evening, but I can garden in spurts and run in to cool off. I’m also refinishing some nightstands & end tables & trying to decide on a color for our bedroom, which I want to repaint — plenty to do! Have a great week, all!

I don’t know why I had to have ice cream last night. Maybe the hot hot day, but that’s just a flimsy excuse. Still, I hit my calorie goal, if barely. No walk — a friend came over and we sat out in the garden to catch up and enjoy the beautiful evening. Not bad, all in all.
8/27 - 182.8 😐 - 1920 😡 - snacks 🍿🍨😡
Food, glorious food, and way too much of it. The ice cream was definitely emotional, and of course I know that giving in only makes me feel worse. What was so depressing, you might wonder? I’m trying to choose a paint color for our bedroom. Gaaaa! I want something cheery to wake me happy in the morning. Yellow or green, but holy cow, it’s hard to find the right one! So I have 5 different colors painted in patches on all four walls, and still haven’t decided! So, ice cream. Ha! Compared to events in other parts of the country, my petty concerns are nothing, I know. I hope everyone here is safe.
8/28 - 182.8 😐 - 1330 🙂 - snack 🍿🙂
Better yesterday, food wise. I found my yellow and the painters come Monday. Yay! I can’t wait to get rid of the dark blue-gray we inherited. (It may have looked better when new, but I find it depressing). Now I’m on the prowl for some new artwork to brighten it up, and a small pedestal table to paint to match the nightstand I painted a soft white. Trying to wake up cheerful! That helps me not want to gobble everything in sight. (See, this is on topic!)
8/29 - 182.4 😐 - 1529 😐 - snack 🧀
We finally got a good rain last night and it’s a gorgeous morning. I’m hoping the ground has softened up so I can dig out The turf from my border expansion without kidding myself. I just want to be outdoors as much as possible, knowing we’re only a few weeks from cold weather. Have a lovely, safe weekend, all.
8/30 - 182 🙂 - 1181 😊 - snack = 2 dried dates
Beautiful, cool Sunday morning here. Going for a walk in the woods!
8/31 - 182 😐 - 1170 🙂 - snack = whole grain English muffin & fruit- only spread
I can’t believe it’s the end of August. Yikes! Painters are here today to paint our bedroom and the hallway. So happy to see the last of the dark, dull blue-gray. Nice color in the right room, but depressing in a north-facing room with a small window — for me, at least. It was enough to make me snack snack snack! 😜

08/24 …..209.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
08/25 …..210.5 ….. 1 ½ slices of pizza last night during movie night with my son and THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD!!!! I actually started to gag when eating the 2nd slice and had to spit it into my napkin. Over a pound gained overnight! Very disappointed that I will spend this round just to get back down to my inflated, overweight, obese number that I started with. I will try to fit in extra movement today, extra water, and stick to my guns!
08/26 …..210.2 ….. Working my way back down?
08/27 …..210.2 ….. Happy with this for today.
08/28 …..210.7 ….. After travel weigh-in. Yikes!!!!!
08/29 …..211.4 ….. Holy Cow! And yesterday was not a bad day. No binge. No sweet snacks. I did have some hash browns with my fish! Must be residual from the travel still showing up. Today will have to be extra strict.
08/30 …..210.9 ….. I was extra strict as promised yesterday and it payed off on the scale this morning. However, ended up traveling downstate all day today to shop for TV for my son (his blew up unexpectedly). Restaurant included. So I dread tomorrow’s scale but I will be extra strict tomorrow again. Trying to catch up on several days of posts. Should have them read by tomorrow.
08/31 …..211.1 ….. Applebee’s yesterday. Grilled Lime chicken. I ate some of the rice, but not all. Happy that the weight change was small. Overly hungry today but trying to keep it reigned in. Mid 70’s today. I’m hoping for a small hike near the river and a picnic with a friend.

Hi friends, so glad this thread is always here when I can get my act together.
Goals this round, to lose 1 pound.
Day/Weight/Comment
08/25 193.4 estimated total calories: 1505
08/26 193.4 I have to take a break from running due to stupid plantar faciitis which is super depressing. BUT I'm doing a 30 day no alcohol challenge and I'm interested to see if that makes it easier to lose. So far I miss my glass of wine while cooking but some days are easier than others. I am going to try to get back into lifting at the gym since I can't run, I tried the elliptical on Monday but foot hurt for two days after so probably gonna give that one some more time still. Calorie goal: 1400
08/27 194.0 well the scale was up today, but my BF % was down so that means there's a little water weight hanging around . I'm still on a downward trend and getting ready for TOM so a momentary blip is expected. Still sleeping in the dreaded night splint, I had less foot pain today so maybe I can hit the gym tomorrow and avoid a flare up. Calories were over yesterday by 400 due to chocolate snack after dinner, did I mention TOM? Upping the water today.
08/28 193.2 drinking my water, still giving my foot a break from any stress. I don't have a plan for dinner tonight which isn't good, bc that means I want to stand in the pantry and eat snack (not helpful, I know! ) better come up with one before I get too hungry!
08/29 192.4 I felt very happy to see this number on the scale after many days higher. Let's hope it sticks around and isn't destroyed by my salty lunch today, bc I'm on track to stay around 1200 calories - missed breakfast (accidentally), split chicken fajitas with a friend and brought leftovers home for the hubs, and just a little yogurt with fruit for dinner.
08/30 192.0 haven't been here since early July so this seems great progress. hoping for another little drop tomorrow! total calories today 1224
08/31 191.8 looks good to me.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/25 162.2 I see from my list of start weights that I'm not being consistent. I need to follow through. Hopefully I've set up a routine now that school has started.
5,152 steps, 30 minutes cycle Did not log calories
08/26 161.6
10,531 steps, 30 minutes cycle. Was within calories.
08/27 160.6
11,147 steps. 33 minutes cycle. Was within calories.
08/28 160.4
11,601 steps, 30 minutes of cycling. Was within my calories.
08/29 162.2 I did have a lot of salt last night and some wine. I still was within my calories.
08/30 161.0 after breakfast and coffee. Yesterday I took a much needed rest day. I caught up on my grading so that I didn't get overwhelmed and spiral out of control. I didn't log my food, but I didn't go cray either. I wanted a snack, so I had a protein shake. Today I had a strength training session via zoom with my trainer.
Within calorie limits
08/31 160.2 This number is a tease. I don't believe it. Can I really be this close to getting out of the 160s? or will I self-sabotage? I don't believe you, number. I will push through with my eating plan. I got my walk in today. I still have time to hop on that bike.

JGM10D Round 124[/b]🌾🎍🌵🌴🌳💕💖💕🌳🌴🌵🎍🌾
🏖🎡💕💖💕 AUGUST 💕💖💕🎡⛱
🌾🎍🌵🌴🌳💕💖💕🌳🌴🌵🎍🌾
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:
2020 Focus:Never give up! Never give in!- 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
Recent Back Story:2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅JGM10D ~|~ Round 124
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.

My Monday night exercise class is a work sponsored free class. It has been strength training for several years. Since covid hit it has been over zoom. Anyway today it changed to kickboxing maybe this was discussed at last week's class that I missed. I love this class because I get such a good workout, but am a bit disappointed that it is no longer strength training. I feel like I need to build muscle and strength training once a week will really slow that down. Anyway whining a bit I guess. I'm going to have to think about changing up my exercise routine.

When you get this uncomfortable in your skin AND your clothes, you know you need a little extra accountability, and this forum is helping, tremendously!
Been making myself go for walks (or do workout videos) when my hurtin' body would rather say "No." Because my BMR is so low, I've been really cognizant of what is going in my mouth (and I'm not putting something in there-out of sheer boredom!) I've decided that I really don't enjoy exercising all that much! But, I've seen so much improvement in how my clothes fit over the past 15 days, that I'm NOT giving up now! Super excited to be getting back into my "real" wardrobe, after an umpteen year hiatus...

Still a bit unwell, so no walking yet. I'm finding it easier not to snack in the evenings, which makes staying under my limit much easier.
26/8 128.2kg
Wanting to eat my feelings today. Instead I watched bad tv and sat with them. Hopefully I will feel a bit less overwhelmed tomorrow.
27/8 127.8kg
Finally got out of the house today, I haven't been out since Wednesday last week. Still really stressed.
28/8 128.4kg
A big bounce today. Our tap water is brown today, so takeaway for dinner. Still trying for higher protein choices, and only had half the mashed potato.
29/8 128.0kg
Nice to see that the bounce was short lived. Went swimming with the kids this morning, which was awesome. The pool had been closed since March, and I had definitely been missing it.
30/8 127.9kg
Today, after 3 weeks and 1 day, my trend hit my "in 5 weeks" goal that I got on the first day. I am also feeling all the muscles that I haven't used in months while the pool was closed. I will try to get back there tomorrow.
31/8 127.6kg
Got back to the pool today. It was a bit interrupted, but it is really nice to be back. Overdid the carbs a bit at dinner.
1/9 127.5kg <-- Yay, goals
My legs are so stiff today. Hopefully it will shake out as I get used to going back to the pool regularly. I still need to find out a way of dealing with my stress, as it isn't healthy.

08/25 231.8 Though I walked 3.36 miles yesterday morning my Apple watch did NOT consider it exercise LOL Stopping to talk to neighbors, dog potty, dropping off book at library, light at intersection and not using pause on the watch when stopping … I guess it thinks I strolled too much. Overall I did get 12300 steps total yesterday. Today I must walk more purposefully!
08/26 231.2 3 mile walk but ran into friends again … some decided to walk with me. A couple of glasses of wine with dinner. Broke my dry spell this month.
08/27 231.2 Walked 3 miles, biked, gardened/digging, hand weights … still seem to be stuck around 231. Hoping to drop into the 20s soon!
08/28 231.5 Only I Can Change My Life, No One Can Do It For Me
08/29 231.2 On target every day this week with tracking calories & carbs, no snacking between meals or after dinner, exercise, and water. My body must just love this number ... been here many times over the past 5 years and it is like a comforting place for the scale or something. I'm not giving up ... going to push through this time around!
08/30 230.0 Yeah! I broke through after 7 days. Note to self: Don’t let a temporary plateau play mind games with you when you know that you are not cheating but the scale is not moving.
08/31 230.3 Walked 5 miles yesterday. I have 6 more to do today in order to hit by 100 miles in August target. I can do this!
09/01 230.3 Success! Down 11 pounds for August. Created many better habits in August … tracking my food, water, vitamins, walking, less alcohol, strength training, no snacking. Finished walking 100 miles in August. Now to walk and repeat all these good habits for September.11 -

08/26 194.8 Woosh! I think I was holding onto some water for a few days.
08/27 193.4 My goal for today is to get better with water intake. I've been slacking a little. I'm still not drinking soda though!
08/28 193.4 I did great with water yesterday. On track to do pretty good today as well. Happy Friday! Hope you all have a great weekend.
08/29 193.6 I haven't been making great food choices the last few days but I haven't gone over my calories. Lots and lots of carbs though. My feet are swollen and feel like they're going to bust open. I'm guessing because my overkill of carbs?? So today my goal is watch my macros as much as my calories.
08/30 194.0 I did good yesterday with carbs, sodium, calories, and water. My feet aren't as swollen today either. I dont like seeing that bump but I'm hoping its normal fluctuations. We are headed to our lake lot today to get some work done so I should burn a lot. Happy sunday!
08/31 194.4 I dont like the way the scale is going!
09/01 193.6 So the scale went down a little but my hands and feet are swollen again today. This past few days have been frustrating! Going to stick to it though, and not give up. Happy September!! I love this month

Day/Weight/Comment
08/25 - 310.3 - One of the pleasant things about the new job is walking almost twice as much. My steps almost doubled for the week (per my Fitbit notification). Down 3.6 for the week and 8 lbs. over 2 weeks. One of those fun things that happen when you drop lots of weight... a adjustable web belt that barely fit now has to be cut since there is an excess. Maybe it's body dysmorphia, but while this is happening, I don't see it. But the fit of my clothes and fitness ability to do simple tasks that have been a struggle, those are the things that are a hammer hitting me over the head, saying *yeah, you're getting smaller*.
08/26 - 309.7 - Mondays are worst for weigh-ins. By Wednesday, I'm usually heading in a good direction. My best is Saturday before I start eating. By then, I've had 3 42-hour fasts leading into eating at noon on Sat.
08/27 - 306.9 - Nice drop. After missing last round's goal, I went conservative... and already made it. This also puts me at the 95+ lbs. mark. So close. So tantalizing. And a broke scale. One of the footies just broke and I don't think it can be fixed. Aargh! New scale time. Down 4.3 for the week and 9.3 over two weeks.
08/28 - 307.2 - Standard small uptick on a weekday eat. Still on target for a nice drop for tomorrow.
08/29 - 305.7 - Nice drop. Down 4 lbs. from last Saturday and 6.7 over two weeks. My biggest fear from this weigh loss is starting to take hold... I'm seeing a little excess skin around the edges (thighs and upper arms). My plan was to slow down a bit once I got under 300 lbs. and really focus on weight training and jumping rope. I guess that might start (a little bit) earlier than expected.
08/30 - 309.9 - And back on the roller coaster we go. A lttle too much good food yesterday. That's ok, I'll just start working on dropping back tomorrow. Even if we have a bad day, just jump back on it tomorrow. Same weight as last week and down 4.7 from 2 weeks ago.
08/31 - 308.3 - After a weekend of eating, normally this goes up... way up. But it actually went down. Not complaining, just puzzled. Just makes it easier to keep going.
09/01 - 306.8 - Nice drop after 36 hours (of 42) of fasting. Down 3.5 from last week and 7.1 over two weeks.

SW: 144.5
Day/Weight/Comment
08/25 - 144.5
08/26 - 145 - Calories have been good, so I'm hoping this is just some water retention.
08/27 - 144.5 - OK, I'm trending lower this week.
08/28 - 145.5 - Sigh. I've tracked my food all week and stayed within weight loss calories. I did start a cardio routine this week, so I'm hoping this is some DOMS. Also, I've been eating watermelon which, although low in calories, is high in sugar and carbs. I have a patio birthday party for my daughter on Sunday and my husband is making meatball subs for supper tonight, so I'm going to have to really watch what I eat the rest of the weekend along with drinking ALL the water.
08/29 - 144.5 - I did not want to weigh this morning. I woke up with swollen fingers from the sodium last night. I was so surprised when I saw my weight I checked again on my other scale. The watermelon and meatballs are all gone now and I'll just plan for a cupcake at my daughter's party tomorrow.
08/30 - 142.5 - Well, whoosh! I've been at this long enough to know it will bounce back up, but this really helps my trend line.
08/31 - 143.5 - It's all good, today I'll be carefully tracking my food and drinking water.
09/01 - 143.5 - I'm very happy this stuck today.
