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.

29 yo female
5’2” Small frame according to my wrist circumference
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!

@jaccimc63 Watermelon and ripe fresh pineapple caused me to regain 30# over several months because of that sugar! Beware!2

@kblanc14 We we’re discussing a “food train” yesterday while we were sewing. A co-worker of one of my friends is going to have surgery and her co-workers offered to bring meals to her and her husband. Perhaps she doesn’t understand this custom (English is not her first language) but her answer was a very abrupt “my husband can cook.” I agree with you about not being able to guess a recipe and since I generally severely limit my carbs, this could be a nightmare!2

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!4 -
@CamandJarvis If you are working from a lap top, you might consider placing it on top of a box or stack of books to make your screen higher. Fortunately I was not required to have my camera on where my team could view the whole unattractive episode. I was wishing I had hand weights as I had some significant arm work in sync with the steps. Maybe cans of soup next time!5

Round 124
Please join us! Starting on 08/25 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 124
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

Forgot to check in yesterday. I try to check in in the evening so I can report on exercise, but that means some days I get tired and forget. Doing well with calories and exercise but have been bouncing between 226 and 227 for a week. Shrug, I know this is normal for me, but it would be nice to see some progress. Feeling healthy and thinner though. My clothes which were very snug are getting looser.
Goals for this 10 days: strength training twice a week, early to bed, logging everyday, walking at lunch on walking only days.

I feel the same way she and you do! We get our produce CSA weekly and meat CSA monthly, so I have meat piling up in the freezer because we are now getting food dropped off 2-3 times a week. I know the train won't last forever, but it's driving me a little crazy at the same time because I want to eat the food in my fridge and not waste what I have paid money for too. And at a 1,200-1,700 cal allowance depending on exercise... it doesn't give me much wiggle room to lose if I don't know how the food was prepared. It's such a moral dilemma for me because I feel ungrateful when I have those thoughts even though I know they also make sense and are valid.

@CamandJarvis If you are working from a lap top, you might consider placing it on top of a box or stack of books to make your screen higher. Fortunately I was not required to have my camera on where my team could view the whole unattractive episode. I was wishing I had hand weights as I had some significant arm work in sync with the steps. Maybe cans of soup next time!
Better and better. I don't think we have soup cans, but we have gallon water jugs I may work with. I'll have to find a way to elevate my laptop about 3ft. Luckily, I don't ever need my camera, but I usually need to see what others are screen-sharing and take breaks to take notes on it. I'm sure I'll find SOMETHING. If not, I'll do some ground work with the computer on the floor (: You have certainly inspired me!4 -

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.

Round 124 goal(s): 2.4 lbs (to get and stay under 225). More importantly, lift weights at least 2x/wk, and rowing machine at least 2x/wk.
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.

08/25- 196.4 started back to work full time on nights. Starting to find a routine in working out. My baby will be 2 months on Thursday and I’m ready to rid my self of baby weight and begin my journey to a healthier me
08/26 197.6 (+1.2) well that’s not a good start. But I sure did eat a lot and not the best things yesterday. I was super tired and i snack on junk food to keep me awake. This weekend will be a lot better since I’ll be working and too busy to eat crap.
08/27 197.4 (-.2) I had a little better day yesterday but not by much. Back to work today so no exercise for 4 day’s other than walking around on my breaks. My eating times are off since I sleep during the day and awake all night. But I’m going to try
08/28 197.4 (+/-0) well better than gaining. Packed my dinner and snacks for work I plan on walking for my breaks outside just to keep myself moving. Well see what happens with weigh ins this weekend since I will be doing them at different times than normal

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!

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.
