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 -> 114.0
Goal weight for this round: Somewhere in the lower 113-114 range. Will be thrilled if this happens because of where I’m at in the month.
Another goal: Embrace the scale fluctuations and not get flustered.
Previous days09/04 114.4 Got a soccer work out in this morning. Feeling sleepy and looking forward to the long holiday weekend. Having the Monday off will be nice and it’ll give me some extra time to cook something fun! I haven’t figured out what but I’m in the mood to experiment this weekend.
We had Bertucci’s delivered last night as a surprise from my father in law’s coworkers but it didn’t hit me too hard. It was a small piece of chicken parm, about 1 ½-2 cups spaghetti, salad, and a roll. I was full afterwards and didn’t feel icky…so that was good 😊. It didn’t make me retain too much water either, which was a plus for me. The meal train is dropping off a crustless quiche for dinner tonight which shouldn’t hurt the water retention either. I’ll just have to embrace the challenge of being ok with not knowing the calorie counts.
09/05 115.0 And up it goes. Meh, at least I know the time of the month that I am at my lowest weight. So, this is expected and I’m learning to embrace the fluctuations. The crustless quiche that was dropped off last night was delicious! It had spinach, basil, some sort of cheese mixed in and a layer of parmesan cheese on top. Tonight, for dinner we plan on making a homemade beef and broccoli dish with CSA broccoli and csa Flank steak. So that should be yummy too!
I plan on doing a spin bike workout this morning once my husband wakes up. Then, it’s most likely a chores day for me. Maybe we’ll go for a walk this morning too if he’s feeling energetic!
09/06 115.2 It’s been a great day so far. This morning my husband and I went for a nice 3ish mile walk and then I followed it up with a 45-minute spin bike workout from Youtube. Then, I got everything done I planned to do yesterday. Yesterday, I didn’t end up exercising or doing any chores because I was just plain tired.
Today, I made chorizo, pinto bean, and brown rice stew in the pressure cooker. I used some Cajun seasoning, a little bit of onion, two baby bell peppers, ½ lb dried pinto beans, 1 cup (180 g) dry brown rice, chicken broth, and 1lb of chorizo. First, I browned the chorizo and onion, then cooked the beans with the chorizo and chicken broth at high pressure for 27 minutes, then I added the rice to the beans and meat and cooked everything for another 22ish minutes. I didn’t measure the amount of chicken broth I used (I just eyeballed it). If I had to guess it was about 3-4 cups total of chicken broth. It made a total of 8 cups worth of food and I calculated it out as 2 cups is one serving = ~600 calories
Earlier today, I got fancy and made us pancakes for breakfast. They were high fiber and my husband really liked them! Here's the recipe I put into MFP:
3.50 tsp, Baking powder
0.50 tsp, Salt
0.25 cup, Sugar
3 tbsp, Butter Unsalted
1 tsp, Vanilla extract
1 cup, Coconut Water
1 cup (120g), Organic Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
1/2 cup, Anthony's Oat Fiber (Not Oats)
45 g, Inulin
2 large, Egg

I hope you're all enjoying your weekend!7 -
I will be back for another round. This will be my second since leaving in February and returning. This should be an interesting round. Hopefully it works out in my favor! Goal is to drop 2 pounds and be at or under 162.xx for 50% of the time.
Rnd 124 SW - 169 EW - 164.3 (-4.7)
09/04 - 164.3 I stayed the same so I am probably done losing all of my water weight. Hopefully I can have another nice drop or 2 this round. I have some dental work later this afternoon, so I doubt I will be eating dinner. I hate going to the dentist and didn't sleep well last night because of it. I will be glad when it is done!
09/05 - 164.7 didn’t eat anything after dental work last night and woke up to shark week a couple days early. Hopefully will go down soon.
09/06 - 161.3 didn’t eat much yesterday because of my dental work from the day before and stomach issues. I’m going to stay on track today and hope I don’t see too big of a spike tomorrow after eating more today.

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.

I'm in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!
70 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...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. THEN...I face planted on the sidewalk while walking. Messed up my face, wrist and knee...sigh...Must keep going, tho.
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

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!End of round 69 134.2 lbsKeep calm – we're all in this together!

09/04 - 191.6 I'm happy to see that. After my daughter's softball game yesterday she really wanted a caramel frappe from McDonalds, which also happens to be my weakness. I had iron clad willpower and didn't get one for myself as well lol I set my goal to lose 3 lbs in this challenge, which seems like a little too much but I really can't wait to see the 180's, so I'm hoping that my willpower sticks around! My youngest 2 kiddos and I are going to our lake lots to camp this weekend so I wont be weighing in tomorrow, and I'm sure there will be a small bump in my weight. Have a good weekend
09/05 - DNW. We are camping. Ate horribly yesterday 😮 I'm going to try to do way better today!
09/06 -193.4 We came home a day early from camping. I knew there would be a jump in my weight but I didn't think it would be nearly 2 lbs. For some reason even if I eat healthy when we are camping I still hold onto some extra weight for a few days. I'm still optimistic that I will see the 180's in this challenge, but if not, I won't beat myself up for it. I think this camping trip was our last for the summer and the 2 lbs was worth it
09/07 - 191.8 That's better! Happy Labor Day, hope you all have a great one! I work today so I will get plenty of steps in.

Yes, everything seems to taste so much better when it's cooked over an open flame. I love it, a bit too much! We usually only go camping once a year, but this year when Covid took over everything we bought a few lake lots and have spent the summer getting them cleared out. I do hope you get to camp again!6 -

Still going with a small bump. Sanded back a bedside table today, which took a surprising amount of effort. Back to the pool tomorrow.

Date night tonight so a bit over my calories, and too many carbs. But it was delicious, and it is important to me to be able to live with this way of life. And that includes occasionally going over.

Father's day, so another dinner out. Still trying to make ok choices, but it is much harder when you aren't cooking.

09/04 229.3 Starting this challenge off in the 20s! Never want to revisit the 30s again. Remember that as you go through a week without a scale. Don't want a surprise when I return for the next challenge! Today I’m walking 3 miles in this darn heat before driving 5 hours. Packed our lunch so that we don’t have a fast food emergency.
09/05 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 Last night I forgot to thaw our steak so pulled out Plan B keto friendly frozen pizza. I’m so glad that I packed a few quick alternatives just in case since there are no restaurants near by. Plan to continue walking this week … 4 miles round trip thru the nearby county park to the boat ramp. I now have hand weights and yoga mats for the camp too for permanent residence here! Ready for the week.
09/06 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked! Food wise I was good for the majority of the day; however, 3 Saint Arnold Summer Pills at 155 calories & 11 carbs each was not a good choice as we sat outside during the evening. I did skip the chips & dip sitting in front of me and brought my own low carb tortillas for the fajitas.
09/07 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked my 3+ miles in the morning. Fished in the late afternoon. Sauted shrimp avocado salad for lunch & steak, prosciutto wrapped asparagus, cauliflower rice au gratin for dinner. Kept to my promise to myself 4 nights alcohol free per week … AF last night sipping on Fresca while others indulged. It was a wonderful day of me taking care of me 7 -

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.
Round 125
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
09/04: 209.4 / Fittingly, starting off with my ten-day average from round 124.
09/05: 207.0 / I am a bag of water. (and other things) I think I have recovered from my previous long weekend, just in time for another weekend. Today I help my son and his wife move, so I should burn a few calories. Hope I don’t eat them back. DW will probably be in charge of the precious 3 yr old prince of the family. 😊 Those of you with grandchildren know what I mean.
Have a good Labor Day weekend everyone!
09/06: 207.8 / Even though I logged everything yesterday and got a LOT of exercise, I somehow inched up this morning. Probably because yesterday was a false low. This is why I like to track averages and acknowledge Non-Scale-Victories. Going to try to practice gratitude today.
09/07: 209.4 / Trying to think what may have caused this. Oh, that’s right, I ate a lot. I also rode my bike, but not enough apparently. Planned hike today with DS and family. I might ride some more too.
I just had an extension put on my bike handlebars to I don’t have to bend so low. It was hard on my neck, and my hands were falling asleep. Much better now. I also bought a bike helmet for myself and DW. Inspired by more than one “slip-and-falls” in our families lately. I look like a dork, but oh well, who am I trying to impress?
On a different note, DM (dear mutt) just brought a dead cicada into the house in her mouth. She did NOT want to give it up. DW had to pull it out.

@Lilylady3k my fishing trip for this coming weekend got canceled. Two uncles with health (orthopedic) issues had to back out. Add that to brother and son backing out earlier and the air just went out if it. Chalking it up to 2020. At least no one has Covid-19.
I may fill the new spare time with a long fishing day or two closer to home.7 -

Day/Weight/Comment
09/04 191.8 to start this round. I didn't drink enough water yesterday and didn't realize it until bedtime. Also, I thought I came in at 1293 calories yesterday and then realized I also ate walnuts as I was cooking bc I waited too long to start dinner. Plan for today.. only snack at planned snack time. Do not eat mindlessly.
09/05 192.8 today, I didn't mindlessly snack but we went out for dinner last night. I had half a nacho order and it was DELICIOUS but I'm paying the price in salt water weight today! Water water!
09/06 191.6 water weight dropped off a bit. healthy groceries for this week with minimal "treats" so not very many temptations are available.
09/07 192.0 up down up down. My trend line on libra still shows down so I'll take it. I went to yoga yesterday and my shoulders and hamstrings are so sore today! Also my girlfriends and are have having an afternoon tea today complete with scones and clotted cream, so I'm budgeting my calories around that!

Round 125 Goal: I will be going to the beach next week, so my plan is to hopefully maintain through that & not gain. Would love to be under 170 when this round ends but not sure that is doable with a vacation in the mix.
Day/Weight/Comment:
09/04: 172.7 (down .7 from yesterday) Happy with this drop to start this round! Yesterday was my 4th day this week AF, I don't think I will have a drink until we are at the beach next week. Trying to bank some good losses before then! Up for today is a run and cooking a nice dinner tonight, last night was kind of a scavenger hunt for something to make, so my body is craving a real meal tonight.
09/05: 172.6 (down .1 from yesterday) A loss is a loss, so I'll take it! Yesterday was my last day at work before vacation & I was chained to my desk all day for an additional 3+ hours to get everything in order before taking off next week, so never got my planned lunch hour run in or even lunch for that matter. ( I telecommute from home to my office, so usually I can get a work out in on my lunch hour) Today my daughter and I are off on a little road trip to pick up a FB Marketplace find so will be in the car most of the day. Hopefully will be back in time to get a run in and water the lawn before dinner prep begins.
09/06: 171.6 (down 1 lbs from yesterday) A little low on calories yesterday from being in the car for an extended time & my fast lasted 18 hours instead of the usual 16. Got my run in when I got home and was just as fast solo as my last run where my husband really pushed my pace, so progress! Feel the need for super protein today, so planning a steak for dinner + maybe asparagus to go with it. So much to do today, 100 million loads of laundry, packing everything for the beach, meal planning for the week, grocery shopping (staying in a house & taking all the non-perishable with us as just a small market nearby there). And really would like to get another run in today if there is time. Yesterday was my 6th day this week AF (yay!) but need to head to the liquor store today, planning some festive (yet low calorie) alcoholic drinks for the vacay.
09/07: 171.8 (up .2 lbs from yesterday) Slight uptick on this scale this morning, just a normal fluctuation but did weigh in a bit earlier this morning. Had no time to get a run in yesterday but that's okay, my goal is 3 runs a week right now, so yesterday would've just been a bonus run. Fasting yesterday was 20 hours due to being super busy running errands to leave town and 90% of my calories came from dinner. It was on the higher end of my allowed range but still at a deficit. Yesterday marked 7 days AF, hoping to get 4 days AF this new week. I *think* I'm in a good place to stay on track (maintain) at the beach. It is only 4 days and we are still social distancing so plan on cooking in every night except one. I've meal planned and already pre-logged in my dinners (with dessert) and adult beverages to MFP, so as long as I stick to those I should be okay. Cooking out tonight with hot dogs & corn on the grill, plus making coleslaw and a strawberry buttermilk cake. Looking forward to a nicely chilled glass of rosé to top off the day! Happy Labor Day to everyone in the US!

Sorry to hear about your cancelled fishing plans and all backing out. Something closer to home sounds like a good alternative. Any day near water is always refreshing and fishing is a great distraction from sitting around the house thinking about what you can eat.
We've not been as lucky with the covid19 deal ... a few in our family have had it so far. Some cases mild and others not so much requiring hospital stay but so far everyone has lived to tell the tale. DH & I have dodged the bullet so far (we think). Who knows these days when fever is not the symptom!6 -

09/04 – 178.6 – I had a piece of celebration cake yesterday and eliminated some of the other carbs I had planned for the day. The substitute seems to have worked.
09/05 – 179.1 – It’s that TOM, I know I ate more sodium, and my hands feel puffy today. Yep, water retention!
09/05 – 179.1 – Not too bad considering that yesterday I caved into stress and emotional eating. I guess I didn’t overdo it as bad as I thought?
09/06 – 178.5 – I finally feels like I am settling into the 170s and can say goodbye to the 180s!!

Yesterday was a good day. For whatever reason(s), I feel much more in control and determined. I seem to be succeeding at curtailing my night-time snack habit. I’ve set a goal of losing 1 pound/round, which seems realistic even with holiday season coming up. I guess one good thing about the lack of social gatherings is the reduced supply of beautiful goodies everywhere! Anyway, here’s to a great round for everyone.
9/5 - 182 - 1372 - snack >200 ☹️ - walked 50 min
There’s an uptick that makes me scratch my head. Oh, well. I’ve been making my calorie goal and my average is just barely higher, so on the right track. It’s cool and lovely here today and I hope to finish my current garden bed expansion and then maybe do some painting. All good! Have a lovely Saturday, all!
9/6 - 181.2 - 1672 - snack 🍨 >200 😐 - 3 hrs digging and hauling dirt 🙂
I went over my goal yesterday but did a lot of heavy work in the garden, and I was hungry! It’s ok, and I finished expanding one border, so the new area is read for plating. Today’s project — refinishing an end table I got for $20. This morning I sanded the old finish off the top. I plant to put a light stain on it and paint the body and legs. Primer on the lower parts this afternoon! Do something creative today — it’s good for the soul!
9/7 - 181.8 - 1659 ☹️ - snack Triscuits & cheese - walked 65 min
No idea why I got snacky last night, but today will be better. I’ve promised myself! Off to get stain for my end table top. I painted the body and legs yesterday and they look great — I’m excited to see it finished! Have a safe & happy Labor Day, and remember the people who worked hard for workers’ benefits and safety.

Good morning everybody and happy Labor Day! I'm so grateful to have this extra morning to sit in bed with mint tea and write in my journal.

09/07: 226.4 Yesterday was such a mixed day. I woke up so sad at the world, but had a delicious if unhealthy breakfast with my partner. A friend did a tarot reading to help me process what I should do about my job, and whether I should look for a new position. It wasn't like "seeing the future" it's just presenting different perspectives on a problem. I then took a 3 mile walk and felt very motivated. I was a little over the calorie goal, but I can't get too attached to that on the weekend.
