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.

Day/Weight/Comment
***09/23 168.5 ~ {Steps 15,404} ~ Today, I hit all my goals with my meals and my workouts! I decided instead of letting my husband mood bring me down too, yes I decided to hit the gym,***
09/24 167.1 ~ {Steps 5,467} ~ Today was another tough day, my morning workout didn’t happen. Throughout the day I didn’t let emotions let my food choices get the best of me. We did get to relax with some friends, which we come home with an espresso zucchini chocolate cake. My plan is to pre slice the cake for portion control. Tonight I was successful of not eating a late night snack. Hopefully the scale will be nice tomorrow.
09/25 165.8 ~ {Steps 11,288) ~ My husband was up with our pug, Pete the Pug at 3:30 am. It’s been a long three days, Pete doesn’t act sick and still eats but his 💩 isn’t normal? Plus he’s almost two and until recently he’s never had accidents, 😭😭. I’ll be back to post to reflect my day....
My sodium was extremely high, 😈😈 but I didn’t snack after dinner. I did eat later then normal so we’ll see how this reflects the scale. Spending the day tomorrow with my grandkids....
09/26 166.7 ~ {Steps 7,312} ~ I figured the sodium would be a factor for some weight gain, no worries. It will be gone soon, bring on lots of water. Today I spent the morning with my grandkids so not much exercising in but tomorrow my pan is an early walk.
09/27 166.1 ~ {Steps 15,085} ~ Tough day but I managed to stay strong after dinner doing a yoga session instead of turning to food, yay for me!
09/28 165.8 ~ {Steps 15,111} ~ This morning I had a small slice of espresso zucchini walnut bread for breakfast, I wanted to try it in the morning to make sure it didn’t make me spiral out of control. It worked, woot hoot.....I also decided to do a meditation video yoga video at night...
09/29 165.8 ~ {Steps TBD} ~

9/26/20 - 200.0 haven’t posted in a while but I’ve been tracking. I’m just staying steady. I’ve had some things going on that’s either a cause or affect for my weight but staring monday my accountability partner is back and we’re committed together.
9/27/20 -199.0 (-1.0) weekends are so hard to find the right time to weigh in. But I’ll take it

9/29/20 - 200.6 (+1.6) when I thought I was doing good the scale says otherwise. I thought I had a good last few day’s. I’m having trouble finding the right time to have consistent weigh in to match my work schedule and when I’m not. There’s a big difference when I eat for the first time or wake up. Ugh

Thank you. I have checked but that is not the problem. Two days recently it's shown me as not asleep until 3.30, and a block of pink before then.
Last night my sleep was not at all good and it seems to have recorded me correctly with over two hours awake time. I wonder if what I'm thinking is very light sleep is not being recorded as sleep. I'm going to jot down my bedtime tonight as it varies a lot.5 -

Day/Weight/comment
9/24: 221.8 (+0.4). This is the first slight uptick for me in the past few days, but I'm not going to let it get me down. I'm having lunch at the office today with a couple of coworkers; I have both chosen something relatively healthy, and I am not "breaking my fast" this morning until lunch. My wife made me an extra plate of vegetables last night after I was done eating. If I'm going to go "a little over" in calories for a specific reason, I could have done worse, I guess.
9/25: 221.2 (-0.6). I'm feeling good food-wise right now. Yesterday could have been mess, but I was good; healthy food, good portion. My wife wants to get take-out tonight from a place that we get salads from. I'll get a delicious chicken cobb. Things are working again, for the most part. I still can't wait until I can fully get back into exercise. I'm happy that I've been losing pounds, but I'm really missing the positive effects that exercise has on weight loss and my overall well-being.
9/26: 220.2 (-1.0). My wife and I are arguing. I'm not even sure about what, to be honest. It's not going to be the end of the world, but it feels pretty $#!++y in the moment. That being said, I'm almost out of the 220s, which is REALLY exciting. I'm going to try to keep myself busy today with something other than stuffing my face. Usually, on this kind of day, I would park myself on the couch and watch TV all day. Instead, I'll head over to my sister-in-law's and get the rest of our stuff from there (we stored a bit in her garage before we moved into our house almost 1.5 years ago).
9/27: 222.0 (+1.8). My rough day yesterday ended up okay, but I definitely ate more than I should have. That being said, my weigh-in yesterday was likely artificially low. I'm not going to let either one bother me. I'm seeing my in-laws today for a bit, and I'm sure they'll want food involved. I'm going to be disciplined today. I may even eat before we go over there, and skip whatever it might be that they try to shove down my throat. I still hate seeing a bad weigh-in; I could feel all the icky internal dialogue/emotions as I looked at the scale. But this is the place I need to come right after, no matter what the scale says. I'm in this for the long haul.
9/28: 221.4 (-0.6).
9/29: 221.4 (0.0). I had a weird day eating yesterday. I did not have a bite until about 3pm because I had a dentist appointment at 12. My wife brought home In-N-Out for Linner, including fries (even though I did not ask for them). I snacked later for dinner. Things will get back to normal today, even though tonight is the first Presidential debate. My wife has informed me that she will need to have a few drinks while it's occurring; I will be completely sober (for better or worse). I'm reposting this because I just figured out that my BF% has been calculated incorrectly by my scale for the entire history of my life, apparently. I did some manual BF% checks, and it was WAY off. So I did a little bit of digging in the app attached to my scale, and I fixed it. My BF% is actually MUCH closer to 30% than it is to 20% (which TOTALLY makes sense, given how much work I still have to do). I'll start measuring/including BF% again tomorrow morning. What a horrible little wake-up call.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/24 140.4 Well, I'm still hoping to break into the 130s. Should be able to do it this round. Hit 3/3 goals yesterday.
09/25 140.8 Is it a plateau yet? Hmmmm...if I stay in this 140 zone all round, I'd say so. No exercise yesterday.
09/26 140.6 No exercise yesterday. It may be time to tweak some things. It seems I've been on a "maintenance break" without even knowing it lol!
09/27 141.6 No exercise yesterday.
09/28 142.6 Disappointed to see this. Oh, well, let's see what tomorrow brings!
09/29 140.4 All right, basically still maintaining, as I thought. The thing is, I'm maintaining at 1200 calories and I really can't go lower, so... this is going to take some time. But as a wise MFPer posted in another group, "Losing weight may be a slow process, but quitting won't speed it up." Have to remember that when we feel like our progress is slooow. (Daily Goals: 2/3 -No exercise yesterday)

Round 126 (1): 156 to 153.2 (-2.8 lbs)
09/24 - 152.4(!) - And that’s 10 lbs! What a great way to start a new round. 😊. I know I still have a long way to go, and that many of the changes I’m making are permanent, but seeing progress is really uplifting. I got in a good workout this morning and I’m motivated to come up with a good meal plan for this weekend and next week.
09/25 - 152.2 - Had takeout pizza last night, so happy it didn’t hit me too hard on the scale today (stayed within my calories, but sodium!) Rough night with the little guy; he woke a few times so I only got very broken sleep. Still got up at 6 this morning and got a run in with him before the rest of the family woke up. I enjoy morning runs with him, but it’s much more of a hassle than working out on the Switch! Got to get snacks, water, toys - get him dressed and his jacket on - get him all strapped in....definitely can’t just head out the door. But it’s going to be getting cold and rainy here soon, so I feel like I should be getting out while we can.
09/26 - 152.4 - I’m okay with that - had pizza again last night, as well as a slice of the lemon bread I’d made. Put me at 1,800 calories for the day which is about 200 calories more than usual. Woke up feeling tired and bloated this morning too - exercise helped. I meal planned for the week (chili, stuffed sweet potatoes, chicken and veggie casserole!) and went out and did some weeding while the kids played. Now have to get the energy to get the groceries and figure out what to do with all the lemons I picked from our tree yesterday - 4 dozen! Even after zesting and juicing a bunch, making lemonade for the kids, making lemon bread and giving a dozen to a friend, I still have about 15. 😂
09/27 - 153.4 - Well, that’s not the way I want it to go! 😂 Feels like TOM might be starting soon, so that could be part of it. Will just keep trusting the process. I spent an hour and a half doing heavy gardening yesterday: breaking up ground and mixing compost into it. I hope that will make up for me skipping my workout this morning to plant the fall garden.
09/28 - 151.6 - That’s much better! Feeling sore this morning, but we got the garden planted yesterday - broccoli, 2 types of cauliflower, kale, spinach, lettuce, brussel sprouts, carrots and onions! Hopefully some of them will grow. 😊 Continuing to stay around 1,500-1,600 calories a day, which is the baseline that MFP gives me; I don’t trust the calculations of exercise calories enough to eat any of them back. Closing in on 30 days of exercising and weight loss!
09/29 - 151.6 - Holding steady on the scale. That’s fine. Sooooooo tired today. Little guy must be having another molar come in - he was up crying multiple times last night and had to be rocked back to sleep each time. Of course he’s not acting tired at all today, so it’s chasing after both kids like usual. At least I get all my steps in! We got outside to a park this morning before it started “snowing” ash this afternoon. I made my meal planned lunches today, so I’m set there for the rest of the week. Dinner will be chili - hopefully I can resist the cornbread and all the high calorie extras (cheese, yogurt, avocado) the kids will want added to theirs.

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! I was down for 6 weeks with the ankle. Getting back to it slowly.
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

09/24 167.1 ~ {Steps 5,467} ~ Today was another tough day, my morning workout didn’t happen. Throughout the day I didn’t let emotions let my food choices get the best of me. We did get to relax with some friends, which we come home with an espresso zucchini chocolate cake. My plan is to pre slice the cake for portion control. Tonight I was successful of not eating a late night snack. Hopefully the scale will be nice tomorrow.
09/25 165.8 ~ {Steps 11,288) ~ My husband was up with our pug, Pete the Pug at 3:30 am. It’s been a long three days, Pete doesn’t act sick and still eats but his 💩 isn’t normal? Plus he’s almost two and until recently he’s never had accidents, 😭😭. I’ll be back to post to reflect my day....
My sodium was extremely high, 😈😈 but I didn’t snack after dinner. I did eat later then normal so we’ll see how this reflects the scale. Spending the day tomorrow with my grandkids....
09/26 166.7 ~ {Steps 7,312} ~ I figured the sodium would be a factor for some weight gain, no worries. It will be gone soon, bring on lots of water. Today I spent the morning with my grandkids so not much exercising in but tomorrow my pan is an early walk.
09/27 166.1 ~ {Steps 15,085} ~ Tough day but I managed to stay strong after dinner doing a yoga session instead of turning to food, yay for me!
09/28 165.8 ~ {Steps 15,111} ~ This morning I had a small slice of espresso zucchini walnut bread for breakfast, I wanted to try it in the morning to make sure it didn’t make me spiral out of control. It worked, woot hoot.....I also decided to do a meditation video yoga video at night...
09/29 165.8 ~ {Steps 17,112} ~ An uneventful day, which lately has not been the case.

Went way over sodium today, mostly the canned soup I had for lunch plus the handful of pretzles I had as a snack. We'll see if I am up tomorrow because of it. I would love to be 20 lbs down by my birthday (~2 weeks), I am within spitting distance (17.8 lbs down) but since I have a history of 1-3 week weight loss stalls I don't want to count on it.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 127 (round 59 for me ) I'm in for another round – I need it! 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 !
Challenge for this round will be still on our fortnight's holiday, but not flown to a hotel cuz of C19, instead we have taken or caravan away so I am in charge of meal prep. Goal is to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, hubby likes to ply me with blood orange gin & 7UP, which I love, but I'll keep to one per day, keep walking, no binges, keep the 10 days binge free again, it makes such a difference!

Day/Weight/Comment
09/24 168.2lbs. I'm ok with this, I exercised before weighing and had some water too
09/25 167.8lbs. This is a milestone for me as it means I've gone down into to the next stone. I've gone from 12st 11lb to 11st 13.8lb. I know before I joined again I was into the 13st range, previously unknown territory for me and that gave me the serious jolt I needed.
09/26 167.2lbs As much as I'm loving the numbers, I know I'm not eating all my calories as I'm not as hungry as I used to be. I need to watch this.
09/27 167.0lbs Really happy my fat intake was lower than usual yesterday and my protein was higher than usual. However my carbs were high and I didn't want to increase them much more so my overall intake was lower than I would have liked. I'm pre-diabetic and have high cholesterol. I need to get the right balance.
09/28 166.8lbs. Woke up early having gone to bed early last night. My Garmin showed I had 2 hours sleep! That can't be right as I'd usually get up if I'm awake too long. Maybe my light sleep was really light!
09/29 166.4lbs Didn't have much sleep last night. This is really annoying me, and this time my watch was correct. I didn't get up for any reason but was tossing and turning a lot.
09/30 166.0lbs Slept well, Garmin showed I was awake for a total of two hours, but it also said I was asleep 25 minutes before I went to bed! Perhaps it was wishful thinking!

09/24 - 73.6 - No I'm okay with that. OH cooked again yesterday (homemade burgers, yum), it's frustrating that he asks "you have around 800 kcals left for the day?" which I did. And then proceeds to not log properly and cook me a ~1200kcal meal. I kind of wish he hadn't asked because then at least I wouldn't have felt so bad that he intentionally just didn't care about the calories. That, and I clawed him back into logging again. After our bad Tuesday I think he was all ready to just give up. But I wanted to log, so I did it loudly making it clear that one bad day wasn't going to turn into a bad week for me. And then he took my point and followed suit, announcing that his meal was only 1000kcals. Now considering that I'd logged a smaller version of the same meal at 1200kcal I had a quick look at his logging. And yeah. Had he done the classic MFP mistakes? Yes. The butter he used for frying? Not logged. Had he used literally the lowest calorie option when selecting the mince? Yes. Did he check the database entry against what was on the packet? No (and it was wrong). Did he just forget ingredients? Yes.
The thing is as well, that personally I would much rather have forgone the two buns (brioche buns too, honestly I prefer normal bread)with everything stacked in a single one. That means I would've had less cheese too. But he made my meal smaller only by making my patties smaller. I don't have an issue with that (and it's nice that he's considering my smaller calorie allowance), but an extra bun is so not worth it and neither is the additional cheese that comes with it (aka 300kcals I could do without). I did suggest that next time I'd rather have my patties on one bun, so hopefully he'll remember that for next time. I do love it when he cooks, but he cooks for his large eyes, and certainly not for my small frame.
Okay rant over.
(This sounds a lot like I'm having a massive go, but I'm ranting here so I don't have a go at him. He's early on in his weight loss journey, and has around 1000kcals more in his budget than me, he's finding it easy right now and hasn't learnt the logging consistency that comes with time and making mistakes. He'll get there, but I think trying to cook for my calorie allowance is something that he'll probably always struggle with.)
09/25 - 73.6
09/26 - 73.0
09/27 - 72.7
09/28 - 73.0 - I often struggle to update here over the weekend. This one seemed worse than normal. Last week was especially tough. On Tuesday it become apparent that our wedding was probably not going to go ahead in the way we wanted it to (It's in April). My way of dealing with this was to not think about it. Keep working, and keep going. Reclusing into my own little world to avoid anything that might make me have to deal with how I'm actually feeling. And then this weekend I think it finally hit me. And we finally, properly, talked about it. And we made a decision. We're still going to get married on the same day. If we have 30 people instead of 100, then it'll have to be 30 people. We know who those people are now, and there was some hard choices to be made. But we finally sat down and talk honestly about what we wanted, what marriage really meant for both of us, and how we want our life to look in 2-3 years time. I can be a bit of an over sharer, I use this thread to sort of reflect on my days and how I'm doing and how it reflects on my weight. But that's hard to do when everything comes back to one thing that I really didn't want to face, didn't want to think about. And that's why I've not posted for 3 days. Because I can't pretend that everyone's fine when it isn't. Sure my weight is going well. But I didn't want to acknowledge how I was feeling, and the way I was feeling was having an impact on my eating. I couldn't post here because it meant I had to face that. And I couldn't. Not then. Better now. Can now. So: Numbers over the last few days have been good considering the poor week I've had. Had a deficit for the week averaging 250kcals per day, so I'm very happy with that. Logging has been a little dodgy as meals have been out of my control, but I've er'd on the side of caution where possible so I'm hoping things have balanced out about right.
09/29 - 72.4 - I mean, sure please continue. I am expecting that to zoom back up a bit tomorrow, but it's looking like my round target might very well be on the cards this time. Eating was fine yesterday. I was still shattered and didn't end up going to Judo yesterday, so I'm definitely going to have to make up for it and go for a run at some point this week, maybe even some body weight exercises at home, idk. Worked from home yesterday, so barely got any steps as I didn't even leave the house. I need to work in the office more often, I find working from home really not helping. I just have a much higher NEAT when I come into the office. Even if it's just the extra 20 or so steps to the toilet or the kitchen each time. It massively adds up. Oh and I get so much more work done. That too.
09/30 - 72.7 - Weighed just after a shower, so my hair was wet, but I'd steamed off in the shower, so I'm guessing my number was a little off in both directions (showering dehydrates you for anyone who doesn't know, I used to have a shower when I needed to make weight when I used to compete properly at Judo), so I'm not going to hold too much to this number, but I'd rather weigh and be aware that it might be off a bit, than not weigh and have no numbers. Anyway, yesterday I was so very hungry. And I felt rather fatigued when I got home after work. Somehow I stuck well with calories, but I didn't have very much expenditure so my deficit was depressingly low (still a deficit though). However, small NSV today, I tried on my Christmas skirt this morning. Last year it fit -just- but was a little too tight. Today it fit perfectly, maybe with a little bit of ease. If things continue as they are, come Christmas, it's probably be a little too big 🤞

09/24- 96.1 woosh but didn't sleep well today so hard to resist any high fat food. Will avoid the scale till saturday at least.
09/25- Ok yesterday was snacking (nothing major, proably maintenance), but tonight there are some plans for dinner that I can't really control so I can't compensate even though I am not too hungry today. Will take it and continue on
09/26- 96.0 Yesterday kept it reasonable though I am not sure how much I succeded. The scale showed potentially good despite, but that just means tomorrow I will get the bloating. So let see if I can sustain not weighing till Tue! Dinner was semi clean but we were having a bbq with friends and some icecream might have found it's way to my dinner plate.
09/27- weekend! 10k hike and low cal clean eating should compensate for the last few days
09/28- Not much walk. Not much food.
09/29- 95.7Weigh day!✓ stress at work leads to snacking but healthy ones (for now...)
09/30 - 96.0 Had to see if this drop sticks. And the answer is no - I am going ups and downs. Wander what the correct number is or do I need to re-adjust my food. Anyway quit happy. Would be good t end this round with a 95.X, whatever that X is
