08/27 196.8
08/28 197.4 I stayed in a deficit yesterday (612 calories in deficit according to MFP and Fitbit combined), but had a lot of carbs. The next few days will indicate if this is a real gain or if it's water.
08/29 197.2 Ate at maintenance yesterday. I figure any day I lose or maintain is a great day. The scale might fluctuate, but eating at maintenance or at a deficit is within my control.
08/30 196 Deficit of just over a thousand calories yesterday. I ate a lot and burned a lot between housecleaning and bike ride. Lots of carbs but that's not seeming to matter today.
08/31 196.2
09/01 197.4
09/02 196.4
09/03 196.6 Ate about 700 calories over maintenance yesterday and expected this to be higher. Overall, not a bad round considering that I’ve had much less of a deficit during this round. I’ve been at this for nearly six months and am at the point where there is pretty much an even split between days at a deficit and days at maintenance with a few days like yesterday thrown in. Overall, the trend is down and so I’m happy with that. Thanks for the inspiration and accountability, everyone. See you in the next round. 😊

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!
09/01 114.0 Woohoo! New low 😊. We went for a nice long walk this morning. It’s good it was long because I have an ice cream trip planned today for after our meat CSA pick up. I have been craving cake batter like nobody’s business, so I figured cake batter ice cream would be a calorically better treat versus making a bowl of cake batter and eating it all. I have found recipes for low cal cake batter but I’m not really into artificial sweeteners and such.
So, I have my usual breakfast planned along with ice cream for a dinner appetizer lol, and rotisserie chicken with roasted potatoes plus salad for dinner.
We got Cape Gooseberries and our CSA yesterday and they are so yummy! They have a little sweetness to them but are earthy tasting at the same time. They went well with a salad that had shredded carrot, tomatoes, baby greens, and baked chicken fingers on top with a BBQ dressing. I’m so glad I thought of the dressing: 2 tbs Stubb’s BBQ sauce, 1 tbs Frank’s buffalo sauce, and 1 tbs apple cider vinegar. It was so yummy! It went perfectly with the chicken fingers in the salad and added a nice twist to the greens and veggies! The dressing will definitely be a repeat for me.
Enjoy your Tuesday!
09/02 114.2 We did a soccer workout this morning, which was a lot of fun! Breakfast will be typical and for my snack/lunch I want to make a cucumber salad with Greek yogurt, vinegar, chives, shredded carrot, a few raisins and a touch of rotisserie chicken. Dinner will be more left-over rotisserie chicken with a big salad… maybe more.
Have a good day!
09/03 114.0 We went for a nice 5 mile walk this morning. This round was pretty solid for me and brought me to new lows, which was very exciting! I hope to continue the drop into the next round but I’m not sure as it may be a different part of my cycle, resulting in water retention.
I had a massive salad with a yogurt dressing last night for dinner. It had all sorts of fun stuff in it like rotisserie chicken, sliced carrots, broccoli florets, beets, pecans, raisins, cucumber, feta, chives, gooseberries, tomatoes, and baby lettuce. So yummy!

Round 124
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
08/25: 206
08/26: 207.6 / A bit of stress in my world right now. Mostly first-world problems. I love to pack my cake-hole when things get crazy. I need to avoid stress induced eating binges.

08/29: DNW
08/30: DNW
08/31: DNW
09/01: 212.8 / This is the result of a few days away with DW’s family. Our main form of pastime is eating and lounging. Did take a nice walk in there, but not enough to overtake the high salt / high card diet. It will drop off in a couple days. It’s good to be back under the microscope.
09/02: 210.6 / So, to meet my goal for this round I will need to lose about ten pounds in the next 24 hours. 😊 Part of the problem is that I will only have 5 days out of the ten that I could weigh this round. And, three of them are after a 5 day getaway.
I think I will just buckle down and do my best for the day and do better in the next round.
09/03: 209.8 / Well, my weight goal was a failure. But with a couple NSV’s and a good recovery from my vacation I will choose to be happy. I look around me in this round and I see a lot of success, and that makes me happy too. See you next round.

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….
09/01 – 181.1 – Whoo. Not as bad as I thought, but it was probably higher yesterday. No problem, I’m back on track now
09/02 – 180.1 – Okay, repair is slowly occurring after the birthday party. Hopefully I’ll see those 170s again soon!
09/03 – 178.9 – Alright! A much better result from this round!
3.4 lbs lost!

08/27 / 146.6/ well that sucks. But didn’t weigh dinner portion of stir fry last night. Need to be more accurate with each entry.
08/28 / 146.2 / Guess my body really likes that .4 lbs I keep going back and forth on. Going to keep logging and see if I can break out of this.

08/30 / 145.2
08/31 / 145.6 / wasn’t accurate with logging sat-sun. Expecting to see the big uptick tomorrow since it usually takes 2 days for it to show up on the scale for me
09/01 / 145 / I can’t believe there’s only 2 more days left in this round! I’m happy with today’s weigh in. My goal was to lose .5-1lb so I’m excited I met that. Hope it sticks!

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
09/01: 175 (up .2 from yesterday) That seems like a more realistic number, definitely okay with the slight uptick. My fast yesterday was only 14/10 because Sunday's night's fast starter much later. No way was I making it to 2 p.m. yesterday to get the full 16 hours! Calories yesterday were on the low end of my range but sodium heavy, so lots and lots of water today. Plans for today include cooking family dinner tonight and hopefully my husband joins me on my run this afternoon.
09/02: 173.7 (down 1.3 from yesterday) So another big drop but I expect this to bounce back up tomorrow, seems to be the pattern this week. Yesterday was a running day and I was on the lower end of my calories, which likely helped the scale drop. Cooking family dinner again tonight, recipe is on the higher calorie side (still in a deficit) and it's raining today so likely no run, so who knows what will show up on the scale tomorrow. One more day to finish strong!
09/03: 173.4 (down .3 from yesterday) I wasn't expecting this number but super thrilled with it! We did end up running in the rain yesterday & husband really was pushing the pace. Felt like my old (younger) runner self yesterday! Been AF all week since Sunday night. which I think is really helping with my weight loss plus very committed to IF 16/8. But am fully aware, the loss will start to slow down next round as most of this was likely water weight I have been dropping. We are on a little beach getaway for part of the next round, so fingers crossed I can avoid a gain and keep this momentum going. See you in the next round!

8/25 - 182.2 😐 - 1549 😐 - snack 🍿
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!
8/26 - 182.2 😐 - 1499 🙂 - snack 🍿🍨🙁
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! 😜
9/1 - 182 😐 - 1570 😐 - snack = Triscuits & cheese
The painters did a great job and our hallway and bedroom are brighter & more cheerful. Sunny! We did have a bit of a scare, though. They left around 4, and after a while we realized our cat, Mike, hadn't come out. Between about 5 - 11, I searched the house, and DH and I both walked the neighborhood. I was frantic by 11. Then we heard a tiny voice....somewhere. It took a while to realize he was behind the vent cover! He must have hopped in there to hide and got locked in. No idea why it took him 7 hours to speak up! He was pretty shook up when he came out and I was in tears — I was really afraid he’d gotten out, and he’s never been out in his life. Anyway, all is well now and he’s back to normal. The painter, a cat guy, was appalled. I was actually proud of myself for not eating everything in sight for comfort!
9/2 - 182.2 😐 - 1464 🙂 - snack = whole-grain English muffin + fruit-only spread
I seem to be stucker than stuck. Oh, well. Neighbor gave us two gorgeous eggplants, so DH made eggplant Parmesan. I didn’t go overboard on calories, but the recipe he used (not mine!) had feta as well as Parmesan and mozzarella, and that was a lot of salt! Leftovers today. Next time, Back to MY recipe. 😁 Anyway, I feel waterlogged, so not concerned, and I’m happy with my over all calorie trajectory. The weight will follow.
9/3 - 182.2 😐 - 1754 ☹️ - snacks = 🧀🍨
Okay, I backslid a bit yesterday — too much food, too much salt. The eggplant Parm was definitely worth the calories, but I don’t know why I had to eat more cheese + ice cream. OTOH, my cal average for the round is below my goal and the lowest I’ve managed for a while, so that’s a small victory. Gorgeous morning here, so I’m off for a walk by the river.

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!
9/1 117.0 Dinner plans changed and dinner was very late for us. We usually eat by 4 but went to friends and it was between 7 and 7:30.
9/2 116.5 Steak, slaw and homemade keto ice cream yesterday to wrap up the inadvertent 23.5 hour “fast.” I had had protein in my morning coffee so I would not be taking the antibiotic on an empty stomach- 14g of protein, 36 calories. Ketones were up to 1.1 this morning (that’s good) which is nice since they had been hovering around 0.6-0.7 thanks to carbs.
9/3 115.5 I hit this number previously on 8/13. Unbelievable!
@GrandmaJackie THANK YOU for continuing these challenges!

8/25: 227.6 (+0.4)/19.3 (0.0). Alright. I need to get this under control. I talked with my wife last night and asked that she stop accepting "outside food," particularly from her family. My sister-in-law visited on Sunday, and my in-laws sent chile rellenos with her. She also brought banana bread that she made from scratch. I love my wife's family, but them inundating me with food just throws me off. It's like they communicate love with food. I drew my line in the sand with my; I NEED to be in control of MY food. When I'm not in control of my food, something happens inside of me. I have been REALLY disciplined since I've been back, and I have been REALLY happy with the progress I have made in such a short time. But when I feel "forced" to do something different, particularly when it's multiple times in a week, it sends me down the road of "losing my mojo." I'm not going to let that happen; if that means me throwing away food that we have been "given," so be it. My health has to be more important than whether or not I eat something that someone gives to me unannounced. I guess what I'm getting at is that it would be easier for me if "people" were just told that I am really focusing on my health right now, and that I do NOT want ANYONE to give me ANYTHING. I COULD do that... but my wife doesn't want me to (for various reasons... mostly worried that she's going to hurt someone else's feelings). She would need to be the person that communicates this information to her family, but she's either reluctant or unwilling to do so. I have got to figure this out, because I like what's happening with me since I returned to this group. I want to continue my good habits. I'm going to go home tonight and do strength training; my body is still a little sore from what I did a few days ago, but I am going to "suck it up" and work through it tonight.
8/26: 226.4 (-1.2)/19.2 (-0.1). It feels really good to be back on the right track. I snacked a little bit too much last night (healthy snacks, though), but I generally had a pretty good day. My back is hurting a little bit, but I'm still going to try to do strength training today (I was still too sore yesterday); I'll just take it easy. My brother-in-law and his girlfriend are coming over to watch the Laker game tonight. I will NOT be having alcohol. I need to talk with my wife about food, and what we're planning in that regard. BEFORE they get here.
8/27: 226.0 (-0.4)/19.2 (0.0). It's amazing how long it takes to completely shake a bad habit, even one that only recently developed. As I say this, I have to acknowledge that my previous sentence is nonsense. Since July 18th, I have worked really hard to eliminate some long-term bad habits (particularly in the evening-snack department) that have made keeping a decent waistline absolute hell. What I have been experiencing in the past few days is not some brand-new bad habit; it's a resurgence of something that is all-too-familiar. I think it's important that I remember that. I also need to keep in mind that I am in no way giving up, and I am making progress. I still haven't worked out since earlier this week; my back was really hurting yesterday. That being said, I'm going to give it another shot today. Wish me luck!
8/28: 226.2 (+0.2)/19.2 (0.0). Cashews. Must stop eating cashews. At least I need to weigh something out and LEAVE IT AT THAT. I have a problem. It's not just sweets. Trying to squeeze in a post during a REALLY busy day. Sorry it's so short.
8/29: 224.8 (-1.4)/19.1 (-0.1). I finally got a bit of a handle on snacking yesterday. For some reason, when it's cashews, I just inhale them. It goes so fast. I had a few cashews yesterday (six I think), but I found something else to snack on that I was able to control a bit better. Despite my previous setback(s), I still think I'm doing great. I am WAY into seeing my trendline, but I still really like seeing a good weigh-in. This morning was satisfying. I'm 0.2 away from my recent low. THAT being said, my brother-in-law and his girlfriend are coming over today, and my parents are coming over tomorrow, so it's going to take some serious planning to get out of this weekend anywhere near the weight I have today. Honestly, if I'm at 226.0 on Monday morning, I'll consider the weekend a pretty rousing success. I'm going to lift weights this morning, and I'll do some rowing machine tomorrow morning. That should offset some of the badness I'll be doing to myself this weekend.
8/30: 226.6 (+1.8)/19.2 (+0.1). This is not unexpected. I had a nice cheat meal last night, and this is what happens the day after. I was pretty good with alcohol (two drinks or so). It could have been worse...? I'm going to do some strength training right now. I need to stay on-track as much as possible. My wife's birthday is 9/3. Is it weird that I'm happy that her birthday falls on the last day of a challenge?
8/31: 227.2 (+0.6)/19.3 (+0.1).
9/1: 226.4 (-0.8)/19.2 (-0.1). Sorry about missing posts for the past two days. I have been SUPER busy at work (9 clients today), but I'm still weighing in, and I'm still fully committed to this group.
9/2: 226.2 (-0.2)/19.2 (0.0). So I've had really one day in a row of eating completely right. I've been so spoiled so far since I've come back to this group that I pretty much expect that any day that I'm "good" I will have a great weigh-in the next morning. I KNOW that this is generally not the way that it works. What I DO know is that I generally see changes in weight 2-3 days after I have consistently been performing well. As I continue to lose weight, this is generally the pattern that it's going to take. I'm okay with that. My recent plateau is also a wake-up call regarding exercise. I've been doing it a bit, but I really need to pick up the pace. I'm going to dust off the rowing machine tonight.
9/3: 224.4 (-1.8)/19.0 (-0.2). It's my wife's birthday today, which means, at the very least, it's my wife's birthday until Monday. I know what we're eating tonight, and I can offset things a bit by ordering something light. I'm going to challenge myself here. Mindful eating for the next few days, focusing hardcore on portion control and minimizing alcohol intake. I will do at least some exercise every day for the next five days.
R124 EW/EBF%: 224.4 (-2.8)/19.0 (-0.3), AW/ABF%: 226.2 (-1.1)/19.19 (-0.12)

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 round fully back. I know the next round won;t be as good or as much, but I will be happy with this one.
09/01 - 165.0 a little bummed I had a small uptick, but maybe it's because of the carbs I had yesterday. I stayed under my goal, but it was more than usual. To make my goal I have to get back under 165.0 and stay there the next 2 days. Still hoping to get back down and end this round at 163.xx. Went to the store and stocked my fridge at work up with salad, veggies, and breakfast stuff. Leaving no reason for me to eat out.
09/02 - 163.6 I am happy with this. Stuck to my plans yesterday and on track so far today. Looking for a good number to end the round tomorrow. Having some work done on my teeth Friday afternoon, so the weekend should be easy for me to navigate through. Can't have any alcohol or really eat for 48 hours afterwards.
09/03 - 164.3 Well that is not what I wanted to see, but I am still under 165 so I will be happy and take it. Had a good day yesterday. I did have a couple of beers for the first time in a while with dinner, so maybe that is the reason for my uptick. On track for today and no alcohol tonight. Overall I am finishing with a 4.7 pound loss, mostly water since this is my first real round back. Will probably slow down next round but I am happy I am finally back and taking responsibility for my weight again.6 -

I am so happy to have stumbled on this board. This is exactly what I need. Like minded people to help keep me accountable, 10 days at a time.
Ultimately, I'd like to lose 11.2 pounds from what I weighed this morning (8/12/2020). I realize that there are only a few days left in this round, but I am too excited to wait so here I am.
Round 122 (2 Days) -0.6 Total 0.6/11.2 (10.6 to go)
Round 123 -1.4 Total 2.0/11.2 (9.2 to go)
Round 124 -1.2 Total 3.2/11.0 ( 8.0 to go)3 -

Day/Weight/Comment
08/25 145.4 I haven't really lost anything in days, and I feel a spike coming on. Maybe a big one. Why is it so hard to get motivated right now?
08/26 146.0 Setting out all my water for the day in advance. Going to acknowledge that I am having a problem with sugar binges so I can get to work on it. If anyone has tips, I'd welcome them! I almost feel like I must be deficient in some vitamins/minerals because these cravings are strong.
08/27 144.8 What worked for me yesterday: (1) setting out my water in advance and DRINKING it (half with Crystal Light). (2) Actually logging my food and staying in my calorie limit. I haven't cleaned up what I'm eating terribly much, but every day I remain in my calorie limit is a win (and maybe a loss- the good kind!).
08/28 145.4 Ah, well, my trend line is still spiking down, so I'm not having anxiety over these little bobbles.
08/29 145.4 Again.
08/30 145.4
08/31 DNW
09/01 147.4 I *so* didn't want to get on the scale today. We had a death in the family yesterday- my husband's mother died after being in hospice care for while- and we did some major stress eating. I expect the next couple of days to be equally stressful and I'm going to do my best, but I'm not ending this challenge with a loss for sure.
09/02 147.4 Maintaining is better than gaining! Thank you again to everyone who has sent their condolences, I appreciate it so much!
09/03 144.2 What a surprise to finish this round lower than I started, given that it was such a rollercoaster. I was creeping toward 150, and I'm proud of myself for turning it around. I am starting to find my inner drive to make the healthier choices that will get me where I want to go. Yesterday, I calculated that I can be at 130 pounds by December 31st if I lose only a pound a week. If I can have a few little whooshes like this over the next few months, I might even be under 130 again! Even with the holidays. The time will pass anyway. Let's all be lighter, healthier versions of ourselves by New Year's!5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
09/01 …..211.6 ….. Well, there it is. I didn’t get in the hike either (friend didn’t want to) but the picnic on the river was very nice. Kept calories reasonable. However, bad snacks last night on top of travel/restaurant food twice this past week!
09/02 …..211.6…..
09/03 ….. 211.2….. Drats! A horrible round for me!

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.
9/1 168.1 Walked 0 miles. It rained all day yesterday and this morning. Fingers crossed for walking after work. Of course I start back on here the same week as mother nature hits me. Noodle bowls with a lot of sodium and TOM kick me up two pounds on my 5th day back to the challenge.
9/2 168.2 Walked .76 miles Walked yesterday, but shouldn't have been on the trail I tried because of all the rain, it was muddy and I fell. Not seriously hurt, my hand landed on a rock or stick or something and my hip is sore. I turned around and went back to the car. Eating slightly better. I have got to get back to planning. That's what's failing me. No plans. That's ok, I'm walking tonight (paved trail for me) and keep trying. I did say no to cookies yesterday after the fall.
9/3 166.9 Walked 5.33 miles. I thought I posted this earlier but I guess not. Good day yesterday on food and exercise.

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.
🏃 09/01: 171.8 That's fantastic. I didn't work out yesterday, but I stayed within my calorie goal. Food tracking and being active are definitely the reason I am making progress. However, I am starting to believe that having quit alcohol for the past six months as of this date might also be helping.
🏃 09/02: 170.8 The number just keeps on falling! There was still no exercise today, but I'm plenty sore from previous workouts still. It is unlikely that I'll lose tomorrow, however, because of dinner tonight. I ate lots of sushi with only a passing estimation that the meal was within my calories. It was so delicious! It would be worth taking a hit on one day. The real victory here is that I considered having some ice cream after and fought that thought successfully in knowning that I have no calories left in my log for it.
🏃 09/03: 170.0 Yay! That's a fun and even number. I went down anyway even though I had lots of sushi. I basically had a light fast with only coffee and cereal prior to my sushi feast, so that seemed to work even though I only estimated my sushi intake based on similar items already in the myfitnesspal database. I'm excited to see what happens in Round 125, which is my Round 3!!

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...
