@musicsax I am so impressed by the mileage you log everyday. I'm also impressed that you were able to stop the madness when you started to gain your lost weight back. You ROCK!

Thank you, it's the walking that keeps me sane! And it allows me to eat a little more, which is why I think that it shows so quickly on the scales if I don't walk!! It's my time. During the week, I use the time to contemplate, enjoy & appreciate nature, plan, meditate etc. then at the weekends my DH joins me and I suppose we do much of the same but together!! Weekends we are out in the countryside whereas in the week it's zigzagging around the local streets where we live!!
I had to stop the madness, all my life I have been overweight, losing some here and there even in my late 30's getting down to my goal weight, but always regaining; this time (2012), I was depressed about my weight (again!) and I promised myself that it would be the last time that I would attempt to lose it. in other words that it would be for good & there are still times when I can't really believe I did it. But it is always work on going; it is so easy for the pounds to slip back on!!! So I'm always working at it.

Round 131

Age: 39
Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 144.4
GW: 140
UGW: 125

GW for this round: 142.5

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)
Round 129 (4): 148.0 to 146.0 (-2.0 lbs)
Round 130 (5): 146.0 to 144.4 (-1.6 lbs)

Goals for this round:
- Lose 2 lbs
- Meal prep breakfast for at least 6 days
- Add Just Dance 2020 to morning workout 4-5x a week to increase cardio on top of Ring Fit strength exercises

11/03 - 143.8 - Ok, I think I’m back to my normal trend after Halloween. I’m really, really anxious about the election today here in the US though, and it will be a struggle all day not to eat those feelings.

11/04 - 141.6 - Well, that was another “wait, what the...?” moment on the scale this morning. I’d be ecstatic if some of this loss stays around, but I think a chunk of it is due to not being able to eat much of anything yesterday afternoon/evening. Still, by breaking 143 I have now officially lost 20 lbs!

11/05 - 142.4 - Completely expected that bump back up; I was going to be happy with anything under 143. I ordered my “reward” workout outfit (for getting to 145) a week or so ago and it should be arriving in the next day or two. I can’t wait for it to get here - I just hope it fits!

11/06 - 141.6 - And back down again! Wow, I might make it to 140 before Thanksgiving (which would be awesome). Noticing more definition in my arms and legs, which is really encouraging.

11/07 - 141.8 - Beautiful sunny fall day - cool and crisp. Hope to go for a nice walk later today. I’d been trying for the past few days to watch the moment the election was called... and I missed it by minutes since I was exercising this morning. 😂. Oh well! Made it to the last world on Ring Fit - hopefully can beat the final boss before the end of this round.

11/08 - DNW - I went out and got doughnuts for the family this morning, so I skipped my workout and usual weigh-in time. I limited myself to half a doughnut and a few doughnut holes, and will get back to regular tracking for lunch and dinner.

11/09 - 141.6 - Just holding here for a little longer, I guess.

🦃🐿🦃🐿🦃🐿🦃
🦃 NOVEMBER 🦃
🦃🐿🦃🐿🦃🐿🦃

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!😷

November focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:

2020 Focus:

• 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.

• 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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

@Sheilaboneham You're killing me. :P that sounded like a foreign language to me. Where/how do I save? and how on the upload. I assume I am saving and uploading from within MFP. What I did try is to cut the image and paste it into a word document, and then cut and paste it back. It made it to the word doc, but cutting and pasting an image back does not transfer.

🏃 11/09: 150.2 I don't expect to go back up from this point, so I'm happy to say that I have officially lost 30 lbs! I still need to do my 45 squats for the challenge, which I am able to do all at once now.

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.

7 weeks (~ 5 rounds of 10 days) till 2021 🎉

My goal for 2020 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹Drink more water (target min 80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (4 AF days per week; ~16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

🎯Mini Goal: Finish this round below 217 … tired of seeing that number appear and then bounce back up. Love to see 215 on the scale this round.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 131 (round 61 for me ) I'm in for another round – I still really need the accountability & stability! As always, thank you @GrandmaJackie such a brilliant champion particularly in these unprecedented & unsettled times, 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 132s. 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!

Day/Weight/Comment

11/03 133 – 11.33 miles walked yesterday, 175 calories over.
11/04 132 – wow wasn't expecting that whoosh, but I'll take it!! I know from experience it'll most likely be up again tomorrow, but try to have as perfect a day as possible to prevent as much of a rise as possible. 10.89 miles walked yesterday, 743 calories in credit. Was aiming to lose a pound by next Tuesday, but now it's gone this morning new aim is to retain it !! Driving up to see DD & DS and respective families today before lockdown starts tomorrow which means 3.5+ hours sitting in the car today.



11/05 Lock down in England starts again for 4 weeks 132.8 – there it goes the upwards, expected, but got to work at it! Only 4.69 miles walked yesterday, hence 59 calories over.
11/06 132.8 - 10.3 miles walked yesterday. 675 calories in credit.
11/07 132.8 – 9.93 miles walked yesterday, 455 calories in credit. Half way round already!
11/08 132.8 – 12.98 miles walked yesterday, 335 calories in credit.
11/09 133.6 – hoping this is temporarily up due to only walking 3.77 miles after persistent rain drove me back indoors, which then caused me to be 209 calories and 4g fat over, but carbs and all other macros in credit.
11/10 132.8 – 11.99 miles walked yesterday, 491 calories in credit. I failed to lose the pound that I was aiming for in the 7 days . Oh well I'll aim to do it again for the next 7 days, got to keep plugging away!
This morning I've downloaded Couch Potato to 5K app. to my 'phone, going to incorporate it into my walk this morning. Wish me luck – I'm not a runner!!!

I have just not been focused enough over the last month. Weight up and down and no net loss. This round will be better.

OSW 88KG
RSW 63.75 kg
Target this round to lose 1kg

11/03 63.45kg. On the downward trend yet again. Went to the gym in the morning and did aerobics in the evening.
11/04 64.0kg. Disappointed especially after all the exercise. Hoping it's just from a late dinner.
11/05 63.45kg. I've been to the gym and I have a core fitness class later. All good food planned.
11/06 62.95kg. Happy to have a loss going into the weekend. Been to the gym but no more planned exercise until Monday.
11/07 62.55kg with no plans to mess it up,
11/08 63.25..Best laid plans didn't happen. Back on it today.
11/09 64.5kg...no idea why it's so bad. Lots of water today

11/10 62.95kg better than same day last week so I'll take that. Gym done and aerobics planned for this evening.
I'm interested in the turkey trot too.... I'll work on getting the logo(it worked but I had to shift from phone to PC...now to get it on my phone). I think a separate thread would be useful.

Hi, I’d like to join round 131 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. EW 56.5. Loss = 0.7 kg

Round 132 SW 56.5kg. GW 56 kg

Tue 3 56.6 Trend ↔️ Not the best start but yesterday’s lunch was good!
Wed 4 56.7 Trend ↔️ Going in the wrong direction 👿
Thu 5 56.6 Trend ↔️ Scale was undecided between 56.6 and 56.7. I think I worked hard enough for 56.6 or lower!
Fri 6 56.1 Trend ⬇️ It looks as if the scale woke up but I’m not sure I trust it!
Sat 7 56.5 trend ↔️ Ohh well, I’m not really surprised
Sun 8 56.3 trend ⬇️ That’s better
Mon 9 56.1 trend ⬇️ 😊
Tue 10 56.1 trend ⬇️ I should be able to meet my target for this round

Day/Weight/Comment
11/03 182 I am disappointed in myself for letting Halloween ruin my progress last round, but that’s part of the learning curve, I guess. @musicax, I like your advice to @SheilaBoneham. I will try to use that as motivation too. You’re right about the food addiction. We got ALL the Halloween candy out of the house for that very reason. I thought of it last night and I’m sure I would have given in, but it was gone, so that was a good thing! I really want to get back into the 170s far enough to where I don’t bounce back up. I can do that by Christmas, can’t I? Maybe I can get further, but I’ll take that.

11/06 182.8 Went off the wagon at a watch party on election night. Back on yesterday, but there’s still some residual to chip away at. I thought I was going to see my folks in NC tomorrow. Haven’t seen them but once since the pandemic began, but they told me Wednesday they are afraid for me to come. I bet it won’t happen for the holidays either. So, yeah, I’m a little sad. Need to find something active to do tomorrow instead.
11/07 183.6 I swear, I am so disappointed in myself. I did really well yesterday. Wasn’t hungry, ate healthy, until right before dinner. Someone opened a bag of Fritos and I ate way too many of them. I’m hoping this is water from the salt, but still. But today, I’m going to the mountains to carry my granddaughter in a backpack on a hike. I am excited about that!
11/08 184 This is not a surprise after a strenuous hike. But, it means I have to push lots of water today and be careful about what I eat. Time to do some meal planning this week and see if I can get back to my start weight for the round in four days.
11/09 182.4 So, this is better! Worked hard yesterday and had my first longer walk trying to prep for the Virtual Turkey Trot. I have time on the weekends. The challenge for me will be getting sessions in during the week. Here’s to being creative about that! Controlled calories much better yesterday, too.
11/10 181.6 Making progress now. Hopefully this can continue. It’s getting easier to maintain control of my food intake now that I’m also working on an exercise goal. it takes both for me, and I will still stall, but I’m feeling better about things.

Working toward the Virtual 5K/10K: My goal for this one is to just DO it at a pace that I can sustain. Then for my next one, I'll have a time to compare it to. I'm shooting for Thanksgiving morning, but if the weather is bad, I'll find a better day. I want to do it outside if at all possible. If not, I'll do one inside with a Leslie Sansone video or some other way. Thanks to any of you who have decided or wish to join me. All are welcome! I needed a goal like this to restart my journey to better health.

11/8--2.65 miles in 49:20
11/9–2.8 miles total, but not together. Snuck in a one-miler on the walking path while I was visiting a school for my job (in work shoes) then pushed a baby stroller 1.7 miles after work up and down some big hills, so time wasn’t part of the picture.
