    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.

    JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 130 (round 60 for me ) I'm in for another round – I really 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 back into 133s. 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 71 132.4
    End of round 72 133.2

    ​
    10/23 134.2 – so I've been off the rails, just so sick of Covid and not being able to see my family except outside now the weather is turning cold, having to social distance from them and not been able to give them a hug, it just got me the last 2 days. I know I should be counting my blessings so grateful that we are all ok & healthy especially my DGS 12 weeks on from his liver transplant, but I couldn't shake it off and so I attacked the chocolate amongst other things. I hope I've got it out of my system now, scales certainly weren't kind to me, but todays another day and I need to pull myself together. A new round tomorrow and I will be there, self pity moment over – sorry folks!!

    Goal: consistently in the 64s by the end of this round.
    SW: 69.00

    August was great for me, but going back to work in September means I'm tired/stressed and so my snacking is not controlled.

    24- 65.45 - I need to refocus and make some wise choices when it comes to snacking.

    Hi, I’d like to join please.

    I am seeking to maintain (or drop a small amount) and find that I need the discipline of daily weighing to stay on track. I use Happy Scale to record my weight and will post actual weight in kg and the trend direction.

    Round 130 (1st for me)

    SW 57.2 kg
    GW 56.8 kg

    Sat 24 57.2 Trend ↔️

    Good job getting control so quickly! May I ask where you have your macro goals set? I can't do keto, but would like to know what is a better goal for me for carbs. Instinctively I know I feel more full when my protein intake is high, but I've never tracked a particular number. I know to cut out the stupid carbs which are what my body craves when I quit trying or get depressed or whatever. I've lost this weight I'm now carrying before (here on MFP a few years ago), but I never tried to track macros really.

    Hey @UTmom81 I know you addressed @Musicsax and she has much more experience, but I thought I would share what I am focusing on. For me, before I got back to MFP in September, the thing that kept messing up every day was cravings and how my head tends to get into a never ending loops of cravings.

    So my initial weeks, i was pushing a low carb diet, not as low as keto, but staying under 100 net carbs with some days as low as 50 ( when I did Keto 50g was a high carb day). I also was trying to hit 1g protein per pound of goal weight. Lastly, I have been trying to make sure that my food is satisfying and trying to keep away from those things that set me off (ice cream, chips, etc for which my "off switch is broken) On of my favorite lunches are rolls of deli turkey filled with cream cheese, and either pickles, jalapeños, or capers. The protein, fat and salt of that really satisfies me and i used that a lot the early weeks. Right now I am a little less strict on my macros, but still avoiding higher carb side dishes that might set me off. I am down 9 lb from the top of my COVID creep and day 1 was 9/24, exactly a month ago (BTW i did not realize it has only been a month until I looked to wrote this) edit: i thought that sounded too good to me true and looked again. I am down 9 lb since 9/14 not 9/24.

    Thank you! This gives me a good starting place to pay attention to macros. I really appreciate the insight!

    @UTMom81 I know you didn’t ask me but - In reply to your question about macros, back in the ‘60s my dad had a book that said almost anyone will “lose weight at less than 60 grams of carbs” or words to that effect. More recent info states “there are no ESSENTIAL carbohydrates.” Our bodies will manufacture glucose, if it needs it. At first I was staying under 20 g, now I allow myself to go over ON OCCASION.

    @UTMom81 Carbs from good veggies might do less harm to your weight loss than the junk food carbs. I eat broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and spinach with occasional spaghetti squash and other low carb veg. My DH is a corn man and I haven’t had that in ages.

    @SModa61 YES! Eating an occasional “fat bomb” or some bacon and cheddar got me through the first weeks of keto/low carb. The fat stays with you and satisfies. During this lockdown/quarantine thing I have lost about 7# and weigh less than I EVER dreamed of!
