10/20 - 151.7 - Still working on rehydration. Yesterday was busy busy busy. The coffee shop opened Saturday while we were gone so we went to work there yesterday and I HAD to try her latte and banana nut muffins (my fave), breaking my fast super early (13hrs I think?) Today, if we go there again, I'm just getting an Americano and no muffin so I can continue fasting. Late night last night so 16hrs ends at what is normally my 18hr mark - 1:30pm - hoping to make it that long today. Did a short jog/walk to the gas station yesterday but got me enough movement the bit of soreness I have is already fading, yay! Super duper tired today so not sure about activity - maybe if I wake up more and get a little energy. My fault for staying up so late watching football. Worth it!

Previous Day's Comments10/14 - Normal fluctuation? Not sure. Food was way off yesterday. I was super hungry so I finished my fast at about 16hrs. But dinner I couldn't tell if hungry so I had a bit to eat but then felt really full about an hour later. Still learning my body's language, so not too worried. I knew it wouldn't happen immediately and I need to be patient and forgiving with myself. I will say, not tracking and being more mindful about food in general has been super freeing. The fairly consistent weigh ins have been an added bonus. Normally I'm constantly stressed about food, monitoring everything that goes in my body, and letting food control me. Now I let my body control it all and tell me what it needs and when. I've managed one challenge, my birthday, with fasting. Great results! Without it, I'd likely still be battling the weight gain. Next up starts Friday with camping. I won't have cell or internet service so I can't really track or post. As it is my birthday gift, I'm not a part of the planning of food and such, just which trails I'd like to hike and where I'd like to see within the park. Will be interesting to see how fasting and my body will play a part in all of this. Definitely will be a learning experience (:
10/15 - Shocking since I only fasted 15.75hr yesterday - my body wanted food and nothing was stopping those hunger signals! Also, a heavy dinner consisting of homemade spaghetti, garlic toast, and a caesar salad. Finished off the bottle of wine with FamWife we opened for dinner yesterday (1 glass each both nights). Today fasted 16.5hrs and broke it with Taco Bell. Its our guilty pleasure and its 30 minutes away so not common for us -- only when we go into that town for a specific reason. Today was going to the range. I could practice with my new(ish) 9mm and the boys could zero their rifles with the new scopes in preparation for deer season. Consolidated all the camping stuff we have on hand and packed that. Just need to pack Fam's stuff (including tent, air mattress for back of truck, and their sleeping bags), go shopping for the rest (mostly food), and pack that stuff up. I'm so READY! Hoping for 12hr fasts while out there. Body isn't quite fully fat adapted to be able to hike and such while fasting, no need to push it and cause harm. Here's where patience comes in -- hopefully I can stay content with the slow changes. The test will be whether my belt stays in the smaller notch after this weekend (once it dropped, it stayed down so far). I feel so much better without the constant bloat - hoping I won't undo all that. I'll see y'all Monday!! Have a wonderful weekend, all
10/16 - Taco Bell and Frito Pie for lunch and dinner didn't destroy me! I love this! And I was really low on my water intake, too. I'm surprised that alone didn't bump me up. I was hoping to sleep up until my alarm before showering but I was too excited. Good news - it left me time to weigh and post before BF even gets up! FamWife has to work half day, so FamHubs, BF, and I are going shopping for the rest of the foodstuffs we don't have once he's up and moving. She'll then have about 3 hours on the road to work before signal loss, which should be about her half day mark. Should get us there in time to see the little art town/old army base, take the (slightly, 10 mins or so) longer, more scenic route to our campsite, and set up before dark (we have to be there by 8 but aiming for sooner so we have daylight to get camp set up). I'm so reaaaady! See y'all Monday (:

10/19 - Well that was a crazy fun weekend. My legs are a bit sore (I'm not sure how I'm not hurting more) and I'm real tired even after a good night's sleep last night, but it was worth it. Only downfall is I'm so incredibly dehydrated. My lips are cracked and bleeding, which takes forever to heal on me. Definitely pushing water. We ran out of water at the campsite unexpectedly and everything was closed by that time. Ended up getting some for the drive home but it was so hard to drink anything fast, especially since pitstops to pee weren't common. Back to fasting today - not sure how long, I'll listen to body since the whole dehydration thing probably put more stress than I'd like on it. Maybe go for a walk later, not sure yet. Aiming for an easy day but know I need to keep moving or legs will get locked up and sore, eek.

44, 6' trying to maintain at 150. Have to track here for accountability. More water, more low/0 calorie snacks when starving.
10/14 157 This is a good start considering where I've been for the last week or so.

Round 129 SW: 176.1 (on 10/13/20)
10/14 - 175.3 - I was up last round, so I still have a ways to go for an overall loss, but this is in the right direction.
10/15 - 175.8 - I can feel my fingers plumped up again, so I know I have a little water retention.
10/16 - 175.9 - I can still today feel my fingers all bloated, so for some reason I am really holding onto this water.
10/17 - 175.1 - Whoosh! I finally lost that water weight! And I’m back to the starting weight of last round, so I feel better.
10/18 - 176.9 - UGH
10/19 - 175.1 - I am getting dizzy on this roller coaster
10/20 - 175.8 - It was my husband’s birthday yesterday, so there was cake and his favorite dinner. Luckily, there are no more “food events” until Thanksgiving!

😡 I think this bump is water and delayed response from two days of Greek food.

A little better. I drank lots of water yesterday to flush all that salt. It’s chilly and rainy this morning, and we’re supposed to have a hard freeze tonight, so when the rain stops I need to do a few outdoor garden things.

I need to get some high-protein breakfast foods that don’t require much morning prep time lined up. I love Bilinski turkey sausages, love eggs done almost any way. Sometimes I make my own version of egg McMuffin, but healthier. I used to make overnight muesli with egg whites and kefir — maybe I’ll make some of those. Left to my own devices, I’d eat a substantial breakfast, big late lunch, and skip dinner, which we do sometimes. Anyway, what do you eat for breakfast? I’m looking for ideas.

That makes no sense, although my rings are tight so maybe water. Whatever. Happy Saturday, my friends!
10/18 - 182.4 - 1401 - no snacks! 😁
Yesterday was a good day! Writing, knitting, reading, painting kitchen-laundry room door (pretty green), goofing off. Perfect. I have an entertainment center I’m making into a pantry (not enough storage in the kitchen), so today’s the day we start on that. I’m excited to get that project done. Have a great Sunday, all!

Cold rain all day yesterday, so no walk, but I plan to get out today. I don’t know why I had ice cream last night. Broke my 1400s steak. Sigh. I’ll do better today.

STARTING WEIGHT: 338lbs on January 1, 2014
ROUND 129 STARTING WEIGHT: 139lbs. On October 13, 2020
ROUND GOAL WEIGHT: 138lbs.
ULTIMATE GOAL WEIGHT: 122-125lbs.
Previous Round
Round 128: 138-139 (+1)
This is a gain in pounds but yet I feel less dread about the scale. I committed to 10 days of daily weigh-one and I did it! The scale used to delicate my mood. By the end of my 10 days, it didn’t. Hopefully that will continue. I am going to try it again!
Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 143lbs. (But I didn’t panic!)
10/15 140lbs. (Better but it isn’t making me obsess!)
10/16 139lbs. (Every day the scale matters less and how I am eating and moving and feeling matters more...of course it is nice to see the number go down but I know I can go back up, too. Slow and steady!)
10/17 134lbs. (So this was good. But slow and steady. Slow and steady.)
10/18 138.5lbs. (Alas, this makes sense...it is “that time of the month” and sometimes on the first day it is a gain of 6 or 8! So this is something of which I am VERY familiar-ugh. The main goal for today is to get my daily run in and my exercises done. I won’t feel like eating but I won’t feel like moving either! Haha!)
10/19 137.5lbs. (Eating right, running even in the rain, just keeping on keep in’ on!)
10/20 138lbs. (This time of the month is like this. It will be okay. It will be okay. Goal this round was to get to 138lbs. Will I be there and stay there or below next round? Ah I don’t know...these plateaus are so hard. I have been through so many since starting this in 2014. I need to keep remembering I have lost 200lbs. And it has taken 6 years. And it has been so slow sometimes and up and down but ultimately the weight has gone down. They say the last 20 are the hardest. I don’t know who “they” are but they are right! I will just keep doing what I am doing.)

Ultimate Goal Weight 175 by August 2021
I need to reassess my goal for 2020. Today I stand at 197.6. Can I lose 5.6 lbs by December 1st? My weight loss journey has slowed down. I know I have gained some muscle (no complaints) and today is October 12. December 1st is 7 weeks and one day away. I should be able to lose 5 and half pounds in the time frame and at least 1 more NSV. Who knows what it will be.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 I refuse to record what it said this morning.
10/15 199.3 Better but still not great. With the increased hunger I am trying the afternoon tea. Which is helping but it not great. I have been over my calorie goal (not including exercise) almost everyday for the past 2 weeks. Yesterday I was under. Where did my resolve go? She is missing replaced by this hunger monster. Drink water, eat healthy snacks, get in my walking and some planks…
10/16 198.7 TOM almost over and swelling going down. Had a good calorie day. 15000 steps Wednesday and Thursday yesterday 1564 in calories. Afternoon tea is definitely helping that monster. Plus I am eating a little more in the morning. A 450 breakfast will last longer than a 350 breakfast. I cannot skip breakfast. Favorite meal of the day.
10/17 198.4
10/18 198.7 still getting in my 15 minutes in the AM. Long walk yesterday.
10/19 198.7 doing well this weekend no change is better then uptick. Made some apple crisp this weekend. Very good no guilt.
10/20 197 This is my goal and has been been goal for a long time. I am officially overweight not obese. Let me keep the momentum going.

@antiderivative Jillian, once I miss a day at the gym, it makes it so easy to skip the next and then another. I didn’t feel like going yesterday after 5 days off but my DH and I have been going together. It makes me more accountable and I can see a difference in myself. Yesterday I added the triceps machine. I hope you got that workout in!6

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.

10/14 116.5 Expected, 1/2 Greek salad with gyro meat yesterday AF
10/15 117.0 In-N-Out burger for supper last night and I ate most of the bun for the first time in over 3 years. Virtual quilt guild meeting tonight. Getting together with friends for that. AF
10/16 119.0. No TMI x 3 days! ‘Nuff said except considering dynamite! Although I ate that bun the other evening, that isn’t responsible for all of this recent gain. I ate a LOT of veggies yesterday which were about 28g of my 33g of carbs. I’m so bloated that my shorts were uncomfortable last night. Still under my goal weight and back on the rails after this odd week. It’s all good!
10/17 117.0 Some TMI success. I was so stressed yesterday all day because DH left his phone in a neighbors garage Thursday night when he was fixing her sprinkler system. He was so obsessed about getting it back but she was not home or answering her cell phone. By about 7 PM I called her again and she finally answered. She located the phone and he went and picked it up. It was not a good day for me I did not go to the gym, I don’t even remember what I ate but fortunately logged as I slogged my way through the day. He needs a man purse but refuses! Clearly I am frustrated!
10/18 118.0 Scale gave me an ERR first so may need a new battery but it’s all good. Social visit with neighbors last night. AF
10/19 116.5 AF Planning to fast tomorrow if DH’s lunch plans work out. So much easier if I don’t have to make him dinner! 🥴🤪🤞

10/15- 167.8 I am retaining a lot of water. This should go down in a few days, I hope.
10/16- 167.1 Going down! Its not right that I can gain 2lbs in one day but take days to loose it.
10/17- 166.8 Still going in the right direction
10/18- 166.8 Did not go up so that's a small win.
10/19- 166.2 I wont make my goal this time around. New goal, get back to this rounds starting weight.

I hit my highest weight in 12 months last round because I have taken my eye off the target. I'm back in now with 5 kg to lose. Back to tracking, counting and posting.
OSW 88KG
RSW 63.4 kg
Target this round to lose 1kg
10/14 63.25 kg. Been sticking to the plan but had a slow gym session this morning. Happy with any drop!
10/15 62.8kg. No gym today as its mother's day so I'm having a day off. Pleased with the loss and keeping on it!
10/16 62.70kg. Weighed later than normal. Back to 4.45am weigh in on Monday. Still making good choices and back in the gym today. Determined to stay mindful over the weekend.
10/17 62.20kg. No gym today and focus is on staying mindful. Every choice is a victory.
10/18 62.65kg. I'm ok with this gain. Was over calories yesterday but the trend is down.
10/19 63.4kg isn't great but it's still down from Monday last week. 4 days to focus on now.
10/20 63.4kg gym done and aerobics scheduled for this evening. A good day ahead!

10/13 …..208.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
10/14 …..209.2 ….. After travel weight so I’ll take it. Good luck everyone this round. Welcome to all the newbies, we are thrilled that you have joined us!
10/15 …..208.4 ….. I shed that travel weight quickly with some pretty good choices at home yesterday. Today is a WONDERFUL day for me. I have been going through some very tough things here at home and work and today a wee piece of it is getting resolved. I will explain when I have time. It has been time crunching and gut wrenching at times which has been holding me back from my usual fitness and diet routines. 2 more parts to go and I hope to be all in again by the first of the year. In the meantime, it’s wonderful to see the progression in all parts of my life including these little losses on the scale. Thanks for your support everyone! I’m finding my way back slowly but surely!
10/16 …..208.2 ….. I was hoping for a bigger drop but I guess I should not get greedy. I am happy, overall, at the downward trend when I know I am not in a place to give 100% just yet. However, the dust will settle eventually! Yay on the continual improvement!
10/17 …..207.6 ….. This is great news for me! I have been lowering my portion sizes and choosing my snacks carefully. I am still not getting in enough movement, not logging consistently and not counting calories and carbs to the exact numbers. However, I am making the small changes here and there that is helping to make a difference. Life is still upside down for me, but I am tweaking what I can and staying committed in my mind and soul. That is the best I can hope for or do right now. The little changes make a difference, friends!
10/18 …..208.2 ….. I’m not sure exactly what happened. Small portions and pretty good choices. Probably the garlic bread. I noticed on my spoiler that I have lost (and made goal of ANY LOSS) the last 3 rounds. Striving to keep up the momentum.
10/19 …..207.4 ….. Wow! The ups & downs of a weight loss journey! I really watched my portions yesterday and had no bedtime snacks when watching late-night TV because I took my son out to a newly renovated restaurant in our town that now serves Pizza including Deep Dish Square Pizza. In this little town, that is a BIG DEAL. It was delicious even though it is not normally in my menu planning. My son and I ate JUST UNTIL we began to feel full and took the rest home for dinner later. Portion Control especially with “wrong foods” is ESSENTIAL. No snacks-payment for the Pizza. It greatly helped the scale this morning. I am so happy that it did not completely blow my progress. Social things will always occur…..I’ve just got to keep making those adjustments. Have a great week everyone!
10/20 …..207.0 ….. So….. last night, after having had a low calorie/carb dinner, I started munching small amounts of multiple things. Grazing really. I was convinced I was hungry. I am proud that I stopped myself, paid attention and realized that I was not full, but not hungry either. It was more in my head. Also cravings perhaps? I realized I didn’t really NEED more food. So I stopped. I’m not going to say it was easy to overrule my brain, but I stopped. I am so glad I was able to do that last night. What a NSV that was! The scale rewarded me this morning too!

Round 129
Age: 39
Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 148
GW: 140
UGW: 125
GW for this round: 146
Round 126 (1): 156 to 153.2 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 127 (2): 153.2 to 150.4 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 128 (3): 150.4 to 148.0 (-2.4 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Lose 2 lbs
- Get out for a morning run twice and do Ring Fit the other days
- Do core strengthening exercises 5x (every other day)
10/14 - 148.0 - Starting off on a nice round number. Got new running shoes yesterday, and they feel great! I’d forgotten how big a difference good shoes can make for my knees and feet. Did the new core exercises this morning; here’s to a great round for everyone!
10/15 - 147.2 - Ugh, yesterday was HARD. I don’t know what the trigger was (lack of sleep? hormones? too much calorie restriction?) but I was SO HUNGRY all day. I wanted to eat everything in sight. I managed to mostly stick to my meal plan, but still indulged in some extra bites here and there. I’m happy about the scale going down, but I’ve got to make some modifications if I keep feeling like this. It’s not worth it and definitely not sustainable.
10/16 - 147.2 - Happy to hold steady after such a big drop yesterday. Still not sure what caused such extreme hunger, but I felt much better yesterday and today. Will be ordering out for dinner, so will need to plan carefully.
10/17 - 147.8 - Not surprised, for two reasons. One is that we had take-out pizza last night that was very salty - both kids woke up wanting water overnight. The second is that I’ve been tracking my weight with HappyScale (after seeing it recommended here!) and I can see that I generally have a bump up every 12-14 days and I was due for one. Knowing that history makes it a lot easier not to freak out when I see the number on the scale go up.
10/18 - 147.8 - High again, but it’s also now TOM, so again, not too surprised. Also felt very sore and heavy trying to exercise this morning. Just got to keep eating well and trust that the scale will go back down.
10/19 - 146.4 - There we go, back on track!
10/20 - 146.8 - Back up a little, but not too bad. Probably more accurate than the big drop yesterday. This morning was rough since the little guy woke at 4:00 AM - going to need lots of coffee today.

10/14 140.8 Unfortunately this 3lb drop in one day is from inflammation issues in my digestive track the past 2 days. I'm on broth, water, tea until it feels better. Today the pain is less so I can finally walk upright.
10/15 140.8 Hoping for a good day so I can reintroduce some veggies tomorrow. Have a good day everyone!
10/16 140.4 Added plain buttered spaghetti and sprite yesterday. My energy is up. Trying some Greek yogurt today and a walk to get some sunshine.

JGM10D Round 129🎃🕸🕷🎃🕷🎃🕷🕸🎃
🎃🕸🕷🎃🕷OCTOBER🕷🎃🕷🕸🎃
🎃🕸🕷🎃🕷🎃🕷🕸🎃
Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home
You are SAFE at home
One word can change your attitude
One cough can change your life
Take care! Stay safe!
October focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2020 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 128- Stabilise weight under 150
- 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
Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:- 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
- 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.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

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.

Breakfast might also be a chocolate protein cake. That chocolate craving is starting to come around again, so I might nip it with the protein cake recipe. If anyone is interested I’m happy to share it!
Yes please, I'd love to give it a go x
This might actually be my breakfast again today but I'm going to try a yellow cake version
. I hope you enjoy it!
Depending on ingredients used, its anywhere from 375-425 calories. I think mine clocked in around 400 calories yesterday.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 129 (round 59 for me ) I'm in for another round – I still need the accountability! As always, thank you @GrandmaJackie such a brilliant 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 to get solidly into 132's. Stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference!End of round 69 134.2 lbsKeep calm – we're all in this together!

10/18 133.8 (:( ) 12.75 miles walked yesterday. 428 calories in credit, but 27g carbs over as it was pizza night! Hope it bounces back down tomorrow!
10/19 133.4 – back to that same number again!! 4.38 miles walked yesterday, DGD & DS birthday celebrations yesterday hence 235 calories & 63g carbs over, a socially distanced bbq in their garden as we are all in tier 2, it was cold, but lovely to see them.
10/20 133 – scales are playing with and teasing me! 10.91 miles walked, 43 calories in credit, but 54g carbs over.
10/21 133 – 10.76 miles walked yesterday, 551 calories in credit, 5g carbs over, all other macros in green. Rain forecast all day today, don't know whether I'll get a window to get out!
