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!!

I'm in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!

...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.

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...

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.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 124 (round 56 for me ) I'm in for another round (as always!) – I need to just keep going! As always, thank you @GrandmaJackie such a champion particularly in these unprecedented & unsettled times, helping keep some stability in our lives, for setting up these challenges.
Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
Goal for this round – to lose a pound. Stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, keep the 10 days binge free again, it makes such a difference!

Day/Weight/Comment
08/25 133 – 8.64 miles walked yesterday, chocolate got the better of me last night (sigh!). DGS back in theatre for liver biopsy today, bloodwork figures indicate possible rejection, biopsy will confirm/deny, if it is rejecting they can prescribe additional drugs to reverse, keeping fingers and everything else crossed.
08/26 132.4 – Walking non existent! Storm Francis forced me back home, I don't like walking in the rain and with blustery gusting wind it was even worse, that together with lunch out with my sisters meant that I was 386 calories, 23g carbs & 42g fat over. DGS is well in himself, awaiting liver biopsy results, hopefully today.
08/27 131.8 - 10.2 miles walked yesterday, 48 calories in credit, but 37g carbs & 10g fat over. But more importantly, DGS liver biopsy results showed that there is no signs of rejection – hurray !!
08/28. 132.2 - 4.29 miles walked yesterday, 142 calories in credit, 11g carbs over. Best news - DGS discharged from hospital yesterday 👏👏👏👏👏. Still long way to go, weekly hospital appts etc, but such a big step 😁.
08/29. 133.6 - 4 miles walked yesterday. 180 calories, 10g carbs & 8g fat over, I celebrated yesterday!!
08/30 133.6 - 12.86 miles walked yesterday, 750 calories in credit.
08/31 133.6 - 10 miles walked yesterday, 597 calories in credit, all macros in green.
09/01 133 - 12.8 miles walked yesterday. 882 calories in credit & all macros in green
09/02. 133 - 8.21 miles yesterday. 606 calories in credit & àll macros in green. I disappeared for a couple of days; we are away for a long weekend in our caravan on the side of the River Thames & my phone died, had to borrow DH's just to log food!
09/03. 134,8 - oh dear self sabotage - least said!!! A new round for a new start !!!
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE. Keep calm – we're all in this together!
