    11/21 - 154.1 - I don't know. I really don't know. I had one bowl if soup for dinner and a hot toddy. I didn't have much to eat at all even at lunch (leftover chicken noodle soup). I didn't take meds. Just a lot lot of water/tea. Oh well. Feeling a tad bloated but it's slight so not worried. Body will bounce back. I don't LOOK like I've gained so there's something else going on internally and it won't last. I'm sure.
    11/22

    Previous Day's Comments
    11/13 - Dropping down. TOM is settling out finally and I'm feeling less bloated and heavy from it. THANKFULLY. That was miserable. Today I will be cleaning the bedroom in preparation for the reorganization and set up of the new bed. Not sure when BF will return. Either tomorrow or Sunday but I'd rather have it ready than not at all. Today, if the rain allows, I'll set up my garden with the new trellis. I've gotten spinach this week, too. I've planted one, but I bought a second small plant and want to plant that today before the worst of the rain. Hoping it holds off long enough for me to get out there after I've finished my coffee. Nothing terribly exciting going on.
    11/14 - I don't know. Heavy dinner? There was a slice of pizza involved. I don't know otherwise. Met my minimum water goal and if you count my evening tea, I met my 75oz goal. Fasting has been going well since that day I was insatiably hungry. Between 16 and 17hrs daily. BF is coming home today, he's already on the road at this time. Its about 8-8.5hr drive so he'll be here for dinner. The pup will be very happy, as will I.
    11/15 - DNP
    11/16 - Yesterday was not good. I only got about 2 or 3 hours of good sleep. Woke up shivering for about 2 hours straight before falling asleep for only another hour. I didn't feel cold, but my body wouldn't stop shivering. Not quite sure what that was. Didn't weigh and didn't have the energy to get off couch to get my laptop to post. I just wanted to curl up and watch my football uninterrupted. Ended up making salmon last night for dinner with Fam, though, since we provided the fish and scallops. BF hadn't had a home cooked meal in a week so I wasn't going to allow him to cook, either. Then the dog decided to wake me up an hour early this morning and I'm quite cranky. I'm still feeling lack of sleep from yesterday. Feeling bloated, especially in the lower belly. Up near ribcage seems normal, which is an odd type of bloat for me. Usually my entire abdomen feels fluffy/squishy. Probably due to not fasting long at all - BF made us breakfast since it was his first morning home. Today, I want to hit 16hrs if possible. Wish I didn't have work so I could nap, I need it.
    11/17 - Up and down up and down. Think its because I got a little more water in? Also took my allergy meds and some mucus/congestion relief, not sure how much an impact that made. Need to take some again, I'm still not feeling great in my sinuses. Causing a dull chronic headache all day yesterday and seems to be looking like that again today. I can breathe through my nose fine and my throat is a little less sore (less postnasal drainage, I'm guessing) but still not 100% better. I feel so sleepy but can't tell if that's from the constant slight headache and my body wanting to sleep all this off or what. Didn't get shivers last night, thankfully, so slightly more restful sleep. Only fasted 15.25hrs yesterday as BF made breakfast again for me (usually he only makes for himself so I think its just a matter of him being home and able to cook again he's making mini-feasts in the morning for us. Dinner was chili and I added some rice for the filling factor- I was STUFFED! Water wasn't great, didn't quite meet goal but I also had a couple large mugs of tea I didn't track. Bought some more tea that I think will soothe my throat better and some other teas for that caffeine punch. Already have the sinus headache, no need to intensify it with slight caffeine withdrawals (usually not bad for me if I'm feeling well, but feeling unwell always makes it feel worse). Taking it easy today - think we are working on the VW bug to get it road-ready before the weekend when BF will be gone Friday and then we all unload Saturday. Hopefully I'll feel better then by taking a few down days.
    11/18 - Up up and away. Not sure if its lack of water (I'm not tracking my tea, though it is mostly water) or a heavy dinner (wasn't hungry, just peckish enough to eat a bit, but it was heavy) or my congestion meds. Throat a little better today, still a little achy and sore. My nose..... congested. Can still breathe through it but not while breathing heavily. All good, though. A bit of congestion is more tolerable than an achy throat that makes it difficult to swallow. Taken allergy meds 2 days in a row and my congestion meds to seem to help for a short bit. Too bad I found out yesterday I can only have them when I eat. Took with my fast-breaking honey tea and ended up running to grab some food, though not hungry, to help settle it. So I'm waiting until I break my fast to take them again today. Ended up a zombie this morning so after my morning meeting, I accidentally crashed. I was so tired I couldn't even keep my eyes open and could barely speak coherently. Slept from 7-10 on accident when BF woke me up finally. Luckily, I'm at a standstill at work until I get my feedback and so I can't do anything but sit and wait for that email. I feel loads better having gotten that extra rest. Hoping to be back on track Friday for the Turkey Trot!
    11/19 - A little drop. Woke up and my stomach felt tight and bloated, though. Dinner was homemade burgers and I had a salad on the side for more veggies. Only ate half the burger, maybe a tiny bit more than half and called it good. Didn't snack. Lunch was much larger and didn't even finish that, just ate so I could take my congestion meds. The congestion is worse, I couldn't breathe out my nose for a period last night and now I can only partially breathe out of my right nostril (left is good to go). Have a bit of a sinus headache to go with this morning. Sleep was much better, though still waking up frequently. At least this time, I was able to sleep until my alarm. Met my minimum water goal yesterday so happy about that. Focusing on that again today. I want to take my meds but I'm relying on Vicks on my nose and chest to help for the time being. So stuffed up, I can't even smell the vicks in the slightest which is concerning. Usually I only lose smell when my nose is so stuffed I can't breathe. I have taste, though, and no other symptoms so still not worried about COVID. Just a weird sinus cold.
    11/20 - Not sure if its the 96oz of water I drank (not including my tea) or the fact that I could barely finish a full meal. Didn't fast long, 13.5hrs. I went downhill fast yesterday with congestion. I was miserable. BF made me breakfast and made me eat it so I could take my meds. Also made me a hot toddy which I have to say really did help for a bit. Today, so far, is better. I can at least breathe through both sides of my nose. For now. I have only been awake a half hour... Depending on how I feel when the sun comes up, I may or may not do the 5k as planned. Its just a walk, but if the allergies outside, exposed for that long, are possibly going to make it worse, I'm not doing it. No need to make myself suffer longer, I might as well wait until I'm fully recovered (or, if I decide to go out and have to come back in, I'll do my 5k in parts/sessions and finish it another day without feeling bad about myself). Today I plan to fast normal (16-17hrs) since I'm out of meds anyway - I'll have to go to the store for more if I feel I need them later. Thinking I'll go back to bed here shortly and let my body rest - BF had to wake up to go down to help FamHub's mom finish moving with FamHub. Hopefully just a day trip, though a long one hence leaving so early. Of course, I can't sleep through it. And my body may feel unwell enough to allow me additional sleep which usually isn't like me (once I'm up, I'm up)
    11/21

    11/21 - didn't get to it yesterday, took a rest day to recover. Better today, have to unload moving truck, no other exercise as still recovering from lingering congestion

    Day/Weight/Calories Previous Day/Walking/Comment

    11/13 - 182.8 - 1107
    Yesterday was a good day all around — low calories, no snacks, and a nice 3.5 mile walk along the river and hit my first Turkey Trot goal. I’m aiming for 4 miles today. I’m feeling energized! 🏃🏽‍♀️

    11/14 - 182.8 - 1118
    Yesterday was fine overall. I didn’t do my long walk but did several shorties, though I’m not counting them toward my Turkey Trot goals. Planning at least 4 miles today on my favorite stretch of the Rivergreenway. When I was there Thursday, among other treats I saw an old sycamore FULL of birds (couldn’t see what they were with the sun in my eyes) and a gorgeous big abandoned hornets’ nest suspended from a branch and visible now that the leaves have fallen. I’m taking my camera today!
    Enjoy your Saturday. Be safe!

    11/15 - 182.6 — 1157
    More short walks yesterday, probably a couple of miles worth. I won’t be out today — rain and very high winds. I have plenty to do inside, so all good. Have a lovely Sunday, all!

    11/16 - 182.2 — 1216
    No walk yesterday — we had temps in the low 30s and high winds all day with 60 mph gusts. Today is chilly but without the wind, so I’m aiming for at least 3 miles.

    11/17 - 182 - 1295
    I went for a lovely 4.25-mile walk yesterday on a new-to-me trail. The full trail is 4.5 miles, so one of my goals is to walk it all the way out and back. Probably not until spring, though. I ate a little more than I have been eating the past few days, but still well below maintenance, and no snacking! Yay! It’s really chilly today, but I’m going to try to get at least a short walk in this afternoon. I’m feeling much more in control, finally!

    11/18 - 182.4 - 1127
    Salty day yesterday, so I’m sure this is water. I’ve kept my calories very low this round. Yay! I skipped the long walk yesterday because my knee was hurting, but I’m aiming for at least 8K/5 miles today, lots of water, and low sodium. It’ll all come out in the wash!

    11/19 - 182 - 1244
    Boy, the 182s don’t want to let go! Tomorrow! Yesterday was a good day. Calories on target, and I took a nice walk, although not as long as planned as my knee was bothering me and I didn’t want to push it. It feels better today and it’s warmer today and tomorrow, so I’m hoping for a couple of nice, long walks. We do have a wind advisory today, but not as bad as last Sunday I’m going to put up the Christmas lights while it’s warm. We always teased my dad for waiting until it turned cold to hang the lights — don’t want to be him! 🎄 Have a lovely!

    I had a gluttonous weird-food day yesterday — granola & kefir for breakfast, pizza for lunch, apple + peanut butter for supper, popcorn, ice cream. 🤯 But my calories have been so low this round that my average is still low, and I have today planned. It was super windy out, so I just went for a short walk that I didn’t count for Turkey Trot mileage, but I did other little things — hung lights, so up and down the ladder a few times, vacuumed and cleaned the interior of my car, weeded some parts of my garden. How many calories do reading & knitting burn? 🧶 📚🧣 I probably won’t make my walking goal for the round, but at least I’m generally moving again, and have mostly cut my calories significantly. One little step at a time.

    11/21 - 181.8 - 1136
    Good day yesterday, and today’s menu is planned. I went for a nice 3.5 mile walk along the river yesterday. It’s much cooler today and rainy, so we’ll see. I’m obviously not going to hit my 20 mile goal for this round, but that’s fine — I tend to be overly ambitious. Have a good Saturday!

    @musicsax I’m so sorry about your MIL. Alzheimer’s is a terrible disease. Wishing you and your family all the best.

    @musicsax I, too, am so sorry to hear about your MIL. Mine suffered from dementia for years but hid it well. It can be very taxing on the caregivers. Prayers for you and your family.

    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.

    11/21. 211.6. Walked 6 miles with my son this morning. Feeling good. My guess is this would have been a great week without the new scale. I think I’d be under 210 so I’ll take this as a win and be happy to start fresh on 11/23.
    11/22.

    @HoopsGuy72
    I’m thrilled to do anything upper body too. I can’t complain really. So many people have it worse. I have 2 good strong legs, a healthy family, and a good job. Life is sweet even if I do have a few relatively small setbacks.

    11/15 – 114.2 Good morning everyone! Friday was a really busy day for me and yesterday I was exhausted because I woke up at 2 AM and couldn’t fall back to sleep, so I was delirious for most of the day yesterday. This past week I’ve also felt bloated and I’m just waiting for my friend to arrive soon. My stomach was being weird and not always working the way I wanted it to because of the hormone fluctuations despite taking daily magnesium. I have been able to stay on the right track with food for the most part. We’ve been getting lots of salad greens with our CSA, so I am able to have a huge salad with dinner each night.
    Yesterday morning I made buttermilk pancakes from scratch and used white whole wheat flour instead of AP flour. They came out yummy and weren’t bad calorically either. Lunch was whole wheat pasta with cheese and because I was so tired by dinner I just had a large salad and then a cup of cottage cheese (26 g protein) with frozen berries and canned pineapple. Today for breakfast might be French toast with sauteed apples, I’m not sure about lunch and dinner will be pork tenderloin with bbq sauce or something more fall themed. I’m also thinking about making scalloped potatoes and roasted Romanesco to go with the pork.
    Turkey trot progress: My husband and I did end up going for a walk yesterday clocking in at 4.5 miles and my feet feel good today afterwards. I might try adding in a couple jogs if I go for a walk by myself this week. My official plan for the actually turkey trot is to go for at least a 3.2 miles walk or jog Thanksgiving morning before we head to my in-laws house.
    11/16 - Did not post
    11/17 – Might try to weigh later this morning. Starting in January it will be easier to weigh every morning because my husband will be leaving for his clinical fieldwork each day versus trying to go back to sleep where I normally weigh myself. Food was good yesterday, I indulged my chocolate craving and made a chocolate protein cake plus a salad for breakfast, an apple for a snack and whole wheat pasta with veggies simmered in sauce with Italian sausage. I used carrots, peppers, onions, and spinach for veggies. The awesome part of it was that my husband really enjoyed it! I loved it too, but he normally doesn’t like sausage…so I was thrilled when he said it was yummy! I managed to get a spin bike workout in during lunch yesterday too!
    11/18 – 114 Today was a wash for food because I woke up at 3 am and could not fall back to sleep. So by 7 I was starving and ate What I planned on having at 10:30 or 11ish. I then proceeded to have a good amount of chocolate and made myself a cup of tea. I don’t normally have caffeine but I really needed it because I was sleepy and stressed. The 2 bright sides are that I used the spin bike for 45 minutes and had an apple after my chicken finger and frozen fries. I’m just dreading trying to sleep tonight because even a little bit of caffeine messes with my sleep. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to fight through the sleepiness tomorrow and just go to bed early tomorrow night and reset my sleep schedule. My sleep has been really weird the past week and I have been waking up at like 3 or 4 in the morning wide awake. I don’t know what’s going on with my body but I know it’s weird. Anyways, have a good night!
    11/19 – DNW or post
    11/20 -DNW or post
    11/21 – 113.6 Happy to be back in the 113’s. I’ve managed to recover from my birthday weekend cake bonanza of last round. The past couple days have been good food wise. I think I needed that day of munching on way too much chocolate earlier this week. It really is interesting the way your body craves certain things due to exhaustion and hormones.
    Food has been good so far today, I made apple oat muffins and had a few sausage breakfast links with left over roasted veggies from last night. I’m not sure what our dinner plans are, but I know I want to make butternut squash soup at some point this weekend.

    Round 132

    Age: 39
    Height: 5’ 3”
    SW: 163
    CW: 139.6
    GW: 125

    GW for this round: 138

    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)
    Round 131 (6): 144.4 to 139.6 (-4.8 lbs)

    Goals for this round:
    - Lose 1.5 lbs
    - Run/walk my evening walk with the dog to work up to a 5K by Thanksgiving
    - Start a body weight strength training program 3x a week

    11/13 - 140.2 - Slight increase from the end of last round, but not surprising given my recent drops. Feeling very tired today too, so I cut my morning workout down.

    Turkey Trot 5K - I tried to run the 1.6 mile route last night, but the doggie didn’t want to come with me! She was more interested in sniffing and I had to cajole her the whole way. This might require a new plan. 😂

    11/14 - 140.4 - One of the things I love about this group (on top of the awesome support and accountability) is having all these notes for reference. I had a super hungry day yesterday - ate all my planned calories, within my usual macros and was still so hungry. So I looked back at my notes from previous rounds - and the same thing happened almost exactly a month ago right before my TOM. That let me relax about it, and warned me that my weight probably was going to hold today and go up for the next few days. But it’s just hormones/water retention and it will be back down again soon.

    Turkey Trot 5K - 1.5 mile walk last night. Will try to do a 1.5 mile walk with the dog tonight, then drop her off and run the route a second time.

    11/15 - 140.8 - The scale is what it is this morning. Was high on calories yesterday (1,800 instead of 1,600) - just kept snacking - but I did get two good workouts in so I feel less guilty about it. Thought I’d take it easy today, but then DH proposed taking the kids on a hike - so I got in a 3 mile hike (which involved either pushing a 30 lb toddler in a stroller, controlling a 50+ lb dog who did NOT want to heel, or carrying said 30 lb toddler when he refused to go back in the stroller after he got the taste of freedom.) So much for a rest day!

    Turkey Trot 5K - Did 2.57 miles last night - walked the first 1.57 with the dog, then ran another mile. Just wasn’t quite feeling up to doing the full 1.57 running, but I’ll get there.

    11/16 - 141.4 - Ok, the scale can go back down any time now. 😣 Even knowing the “why” doesn’t make it easy to see that number in the morning. Not feeling great today so I only did about 45 minutes of cardio this morning. Will have to try and do the strength exercises throughout the day.

    - Walked 1.57 miles yesterday.

    11/17 - 140.6 - Ok, right direction! Let’s just keep that up. Focusing now on my daughter’s birthday on Friday - she’s been so excited about turning 5 and I want to do everything I can to make it special even without her friends coming over for a party.

    11/18 - 140.2 - Back to where I started this round, at least. I’m still sticking to my calories and workouts, so I’m optimistic that the number will continue to go down from here. I may not make my goal this round, but I’m not giving up.

    Turkey Trot 5K - Walked/jogged 2 miles last night.

    11/19 - 139.4 - Yay, progress! Happy to be down from last round.

    11/20 - DNW - Today’s my daughter’s 5th birthday - stayed up late making a balloon garland, didn’t exercise since I had a cake to bake this morning and simply haven’t had time to step on the scale. Honestly, my weight doesn’t matter to me today - what matters is the joy on her face when she sees what we’ve done to make the day special for her and that she knows we love her. One of the reasons I want to lose weight and get in shape is to be the best mom I can for her and her little brother - but days like this remind me to keep the scale in perspective.

    Turkey Trot 5K - Sorry, forgot this yesterday! Have been running/walking a 1.8 mile loop with the doggie at night.

    11/21 - 139.4 - Considering the amount of sodium and carbs I had yesterday, I’m perfectly fine with this number. I’d have liked to get a little bit more under 140 before the holidays, but it will help keep me from relaxing TOO much. I had a nice NSV yesterday too: I saw the pictures my husband took of me during our family celebration - and I didn’t hate them!!! It’s been years since I’ve been able to look at a picture of myself without cringing and I avoid them whenever possible. It’s still a WIP, but I’m so happy with the difference already.

    Turkey Trot 5K - Could only do a mile yesterday since my time was limited. Will try to do walk/jog first loop then run the second tonight.

    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 63.35 kg
    Average last round 63.34kg
    Target this round to lose anything

    11/13 62.75kg which is much better than the random gains at the end of last round. Now to manage the weekend.
    11/14 61.95kg it looks like the loss has finally caught up with me! Mindful, mindful, mindful. Its only 2 days in the weekend and I used to lose most at weekends.
    11/15 62.35kg no problem. I know where is came from!
    11/16 63.75kg hoping a temporary salty blip. Better than last Monday which is okay.
    11/17 63.1kg still better than last week. Gym done and aerobics later... Hope that doesn't cause crazy weight gain like last week.
    11/18 62.25kg. Everything seems to be coming together. Aerobics was crazy last night but I did it and was back in the gym at 5am.
    11/19 62.55kg. Not worried as I ate a lot late! Gym done and a core fitness class planned for later.
    11/20 62.55kg slightly down on last Friday. Any loss is good! With all my ups and downs in going to look at the average weight over each 10 days and see how that is doing.

    11/21 62.45kg...late snacking but still in calories. The average weight calculations were eye opening... I really haven't been losing. Inspired me.

    Day/Weight/Comment

    11/13 - 143 - I'm really going to try to behave this weekend so I can make this stick longer than a couple days.
    11/14 - 142.5
    11/15 - 142.5
    11/16 - 142.5
    11/17 - 144.5 - Two words can explain this...pecan pie. My husband brought one home Friday night and I had a couple pieces over the weekend. It's not unusual for my weekend food to show up on Tuesday or Wednesday. I'll have to watch my calories the next couple days and drink plenty of water.
    11/18 - 143.5 - That's better. I just need to stay on track this week.
    11/19 - 143 - Staying on track even though a co-worker brought in a dark chocolate layer cake the other day. I had a paper thin sliver and luckily, since it was so good, the rest of my co-workers ate it up before I could talk myself into going back for more.

    11/13 197.2 What did I say it happened last challenge. 197 196 195 Day 10 198.6 I should be happy about it but I am frustrated. I will keep my eye on the prize but 192 keeps getting further and further away. For three years before I the weight came on in earnest, I maintained between 188 and 192. I want it back!
    11/14 196.8 15000 steps 1886 calories. Pizza at my job yesterday and I ate my salad.
    11/15 196.6
    11/16 196.2
    11/17 195.8 under the weather today. No workout this far. Kids sick.
    11/18 194.0 Drank a lot of water yesterday. Attempting to flush out this head cold. Definitely a head cold. Questionable about this number because my health is not at 100%.
    11/19 194.6 12562 Steps 1832 calories good day. I am happy with the progress.
    11/20 194.6 12747 steps 2391 calories but It could be worse. I had a sandwich but only ate half.
    11/21 194.6 14410 steps 2148 calories same 3 days success in my eyes

    🦃🐿🦃🐿🦃🐿🦃

    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!

    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... :D...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.

    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 63.35 kg
    Average last round 63.34kg
    Target this round to lose anything

    11/13 62.75kg which is much better than the random gains at the end of last round. Now to manage the weekend.
    11/14 61.95kg it looks like the loss has finally caught up with me! Mindful, mindful, mindful. Its only 2 days in the weekend and I used to lose most at weekends.
    11/15 62.35kg no problem. I know where is came from!
    11/16 63.75kg hoping a temporary salty blip. Better than last Monday which is okay.
    11/17 63.1kg still better than last week. Gym done and aerobics later... Hope that doesn't cause crazy weight gain like last week.
    11/18 62.25kg. Everything seems to be coming together. Aerobics was crazy last night but I did it and was back in the gym at 5am.
    11/19 62.55kg. Not worried as I ate a lot late! Gym done and a core fitness class planned for later.
    11/20 62.55kg slightly down on last Friday. Any loss is good! With all my ups and downs in going to look at the average weight over each 10 days and see how that is doing.
    11/21 62.45kg...late snacking but still in calories. The average weight calculations were eye opening... I really haven't been losing. Inspired me.

    11/22 62.45kg which is down for the 10 days. Not my lowest but I'm working on it

    Loss for the round 0.9kg {2 lbs}
    Average 62.62kg down 0.72kg {1.6lbs}

    Thanks @UTMom81 , not covid related thank goodness. Just going to take it easy for a few days. Covid cases have been going through the roof here too. Are you in UT? I am in NM so we are kitty-corner neighbors.

    No, I'm in Tennessee--a UT grad from '81 and when I made this name up years ago, my daughter was also in school there. Glad you don't have it. Several folks I work with now have it in their immediate families, so they are quarantined for 24 days. What a mess this whole thing is! Hope you feel better soon.
