Day/Weight/Comment
12/02 …..206.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/03 …..206.2 ….. A low cal day to put things back in order.
12/04 …..203.6 ….. I actually counted how many times I got up last night to pee and in 5 hours I got up 10 times! That is a lot, even for a diabetic. I presume much of this overnight loss is fluid although I don’t recall eating anything that would retain such water! I did eat another low calorie and lower carb day but I didn’t get in many steps or movement. It was a paperwork day. Today I work on Christmas decorating a new house where nothing is planned or measured. Gotta start fresh on where to put things. I am struggling to make decisions.
12/05 …..203.8 ….. Hopefully rehydrated after a large fluid loss.
12/06 …..203.4 ….. I’m still bouncing around in the 203 range so that is a big YAY for me. I thought the big drop between the Dec 3 and Dec 4 would not stick. This just inspires me even more….. Come on Onederland!
12/07 …..202.6 ….. I am determined to not let this holiday season put me in my typical downward spiral into H – E – Double Hockeysticks. 3 small light meals yesterday and no snacks.
12/08 …..203.4 ….. A Very Very late dinner last night (after midnight). I was so hungry that I went back for seconds. Lesson learned (but will it be remembered by my brain fog brain?) I must eat earlier so I’m not so ravished! I will focus on a low cal day today but spread my meals out and eat proper!
12/09 …..204.0 ….. Someone brought over my trigger food – Donuts. So it’s my fault because I (over) ate them. Gotta get this train back on it’s tracks.
I'm still down 2.8 lbs for this round so I am going to hang onto my progress and not let go!
12/10 …..204.2 ….. up 0.2 more. This is EXACTLY how it sneaks up on you!
12/11 …..204.2 …..
12/12 …..xxxxx …..
My goal is to Dance for 20 minutes per day to increase my calorie burn.
Dec 01 – Danced 20 minutes and my was it harder than last time!
Dec 02 – Danced my heart out for 20 minutes.
Dec 03 – No dancing. Paperwork and wrapping presents.
Dec 04 – Danced for 20 minutes to mostly classic rock.
Dec 05 – Danced for about 22 minutes to a nice mix of music.
Dec 06 – Lots of movement but no dancing due to workmen here all day and continued unpacking.
Dec 07 – More workers here and no dancing. However, if you count going up and down stairs for hours as exercise, I got in my fair share!
Dec 08 – Danced about 8 minutes. Better than nothing I suppose.
Dec 09 – 20 minutes of dancing and it knocked the wind out of me. Slower songs next time until I get used to it again!
Dec 10 – No dancing. All working around the house and sitting…sitting…sitting while shopping online. No stores in my rural area!

Trying to catch up with the group. I am sure that I have missed plenty this round. Life was surprisingly distracting, but I selfishly did fit in the time for focus on my eating and exercise.
Anyhow.....
@musicsax @Zondeare @quiltingjaine For me, I have yo-yoed so much over the years, I find that I am frequently out of sync with my state at the time. Ie thinking I am still thin, while gaining weight and not recognizing losses when they happen as well. I actually need to spend a little more time in front of the mirror an knowing who I am.
@camandjarvis Are there any updates on your godson? Last I read, the family was home dealing with COVID quarantine and hoping to get back on the transplant list soon.4 -

Goal for this round: Break 200#
12/03 SW: 202/ No exercise today; not enough water; too many nuts as a late night snack
12/04: 203/ The result of last night's salty fatty snacks. Better tracking and water today. 30min circuit training.
12/05: 201/ Off to a good start... Fewer carbs, more water. Power yoga (my edited version of P90X Yoga X)
12/06: 202 / Boo! Two steps forward, one back. Too much sodium in the taco seasoning last night, maybe. Today's workout: kickboxing, then taking the dogs to the park. Fish stew for dinner.
12/07:201.5/ Didn't get in the kickboxing yesterday; had a very light jog instead. Glad the scale moved in the right direction, though not far enough.
12/08: 201.5 / Nothing gained, nothing lost. Boo, yet... okay.
12/09:201 / Right direction. Will this be a floor? Or a barrier I finally break through? TBD...
12/10: 202 / What?? Ate well yesterday. As in, under budget. Maybe a little too much sodium and not enough water, but wasn't too far off goals.
12/11: 201.5 / Circuit training today. Goal still in sight but time is ticking.

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!😷
December focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2020 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 134- 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.

12/10 106.6 Actually, weighed less than I thought I would. I tell myself most of this is water retention from eating pizza, fries, cookie dough and chicken tenders. Literally didn't eat a solid veggie meal. Started out today with a coffee with collagen and drinking my Lemon water.

@AR10at50 Thank you! Friday went well as the nerve block was strong. I’m sure it gets more painful from here if memory serves me correctly. I slept most of Friday from 7am-2pm. Thanks though. I’m focusing now on calories in. No exercise,obviously.4

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 134 (round 66 for me ) I'm in for another round – I need this to lose a few pounds before Christmas! I've been going a bit haywire!!!! Thank you GrandmaJackie a brilliant champion in these unprecedented & unsettled times, for continuing to set 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 (again) will be to get back into and stay in133s. 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 lbs

12/11 132.2 - 11.42 miles walked yesterday including walking/jogging 5K in 45.04. 829 calories in credit.

Previous days12/3 116.0 Did not post.
12/4 Did not weigh yet. My husband has his last final of OT grad school this morning, so I don’t want to bother him while he’s trying to fall back to sleep on the couch (I work from home in our bedroom). I’m so excited for him and we are going to North Conway, NH this weekend to celebrate him finishing the school part (he still has to work full time for free from January through June) and also celebrate my 30th birthday a bit more because we couldn’t go out anywhere for it last month. We’ll just hangout in the room and get take-out from a restaurant we love but it’ll be fun because the rooms are awesome and each one has a different theme.

12/8 Our weekend away was so nice! We celebrated and truly enjoyed the relaxation. We ate yummy food and enjoyed delicious beverages. It was a great weekend and I’m glad to get back on track today!
12/9 115.8 Thanksgiving week has definitely stuck around on me but maybe I dropped by Friday and it just blipped up from my weekend away. Oh well, I know what needs to be done and now I just have to do it. Food was pretty solid yesterday. Dinner last night was a pureed carrot ginger soup that I added broccoli rabe and potatoes to after I pureed the base. I also made a cashew cream sauce to go with it, which was so good! Today I had the soup and a grilled cheese for breakfast with some apple slices. Tonight’s dinner will be orange chicken and lots of veggies for me! Have a good night!
12/10 116.2 The body is weird. I feel like I’m retaining water today and just feeling blah about thinking that I’ve gained 4 pounds in a month after looking at my Happy Scale app. I think I’m also just tired so that’s effecting my psyche a bit too related to all of this. On November 6th I clocked in at 112.2. November and December are such hard months foodwise. I’m hoping this extra fluff is some water retention from sore muscles/ etc. My upper body muscles are feeling sore today, so maybe that’s part of it.
12/11 116.4 This is where I put my hands in the air and say I have no idea. Last night’s dinner turned out really good. The seasoning for the dahl was just right.
12/12/20 Haven’t weighed yet but feeling much better mentally. It’s really amazing what happens to the psyche when you are tired and haven’t slept well for a couple of nights. I remembered to take my magnesium last night and definitely noticed the difference in a good way last night with my sleep (forgot to take it Thursday night and slept terribly). I’m so glad it’s the weekend, even though I technically had a short week with work, it felt really long because of being so tired. Last night’s dinner was leftover dahl with added greens to bulk it up a little more because I didn’t have any chicken with it. I bought myself some dandelion tea to see if that helps my bloat/puffy face feeling (I’ve been feeling puffy all week). I’m also going to try and eat light this weekend. That should be easy because our fridge is loaded with vegetables from the last week of our late fall CSA share. Now we have a 3-week break before our winter share begins. I currently have a surplus of butternut squash (3-4 to use up), sweet potatoes, white potatoes, blue potatoes, carrots, a giant kohlrabi, brussels sprouts, collard greens, onions, and hakurei turnips. So my morning will consist of meal planning and maybe going into Boston with my husband for an appt at the Brigham. He deals with back pain due to 10 plus years of working grocery retail when he was a teenager into his twenties, so he’s going to a spinal clinic they have there. He’s not hopeful they can do anything but the whole Mass General Brigham system is amazing, so hopefully, someone can figure it out.
I think my post today made up for my previous ones in terms of detail lol. I guess I’m just feeling chatty this morning. One goal next round for me is to engage more in the little conversations that happen!
12/3 Did not post, but I did do 25 minutes of yoga
12/4 Did a 30 minute yoga session from the Playbook app. I plan on working in a spin bike session today too at some point. I gave my body a break yesterday from the bike and I think it really helped. I’m loving the yoga because it makes me more aware of how not flexible I am. I know by doing it daily, it will help improve my flexibility and help strengthen my body in ways I hadn’t been working on with just the spin bike. We’re not leaving for NH until tomorrow late morning, so I’ll be able to work a spin bike workout into my Saturday too!

12/8 Started my day with yoga and plan on using the bike after work this afternoon.
12/9 I wasn’t able to do yoga this morning but I’m about to go jump on the spin bike for 30 minutes.
12/10 I did a 45 minute spin bike workout last night. Then, some stretching this morning and I plan to use the bike for a 20 minute session today at some point. I think I’ll jump on it soon as my lunch break before a meeting I have at 1:30.
12/11 No exercise for today. Needed the break and also didn’t have time.
12/12 Going to use the bike at some point. I’ll aim for 20 minutes with hopes of doing more.

@GrandmaJackie - I was trying to figure out why folks were ending on 12/12 and others on 12/13 this round. Just realized in Round 133 that we skipped 12/2 and then in Round 134 picked up with a later start. Does Round 135 start on 2/13? Thanks again for keeping us going day in and day out!

The saga of the chicks continues. Abandoning the two remaining eggs yesterday, the hen and three chicks had a grand first day out of the nest pecking, scratching, and all that wholesomeness, but did not return to the nest, I had to gather up the eggs and keep them warm till they hatched -which they did today (after a rough night for me of turning up/down an electric throw blanket every hour or so to maintain heat at the right temp)
Monitoring the two chicks (and their blanket) all day, I had no energy left for anything else, None. I found myself completing the routine tasks mindlessly, and definitely would have strayed from my kj budget but I'd already preplanned my food which saved me the effort of having to choose what to have and made it... just easier.
I realised I need this in my life. It's a new goal to preplan my food every day for Dec (changes on the day are fine)
12/04 = 91
Sad start to the morning, one of the chicks passed away overnight (drowned in the chick waterer somehow) we buried her under the mulberry tree, RIP sweetie.
The good news is that in the evening the two late hatched chicks, now named Dora (the explorer) and Daisy (she? is tiny with a large yellow patch) easily joined the other two chicks under the fluffy butt of Tweets (the hen), who at first seemed a little confused but happy at having suddenly doubled her wards
I tried to stay awake to listen out for chick trouble and don't even remember falling into blissfully undisturbed sleep.
(I didn't feel so great today and didn't eat enough, or so MFP informs me in Big Red Letters, I do hope it's not three strikes you're out )
12/05 = 90.8
I'm feeling the calorie deficit today! That'll teach me to eat half my calories, I'm extra useless!
So I'm having an indulgence day, the only thing I'm keeping green today is the kj count, the rest can put on the red light,
put on the red light
put on the red light
Roxanne!
12/06 = 90.5
Wowzers! Onederland!
Hope I can still be under 200lbs at the end of the round! *fingers crossed* If I can manage it I decided that I'm going to buy myself a fruit tree as a reward
(I can't tell ya how hard it was to come up with a non-food based reward. note to self: get better at that!)
The younger chicks have settled in and all four are enjoying the arrival of an electric brooder (that I ordered way back before my hen went broody) though they seem to prefer the real thing most of the time
Onwards to building the top part of the enclosure before they start flying!
12/08 = 90.0
I've been dreading my dentist appointment tomorrow so I wasted my free time today searching for presents online instead of getting on with one of my Many Projects.
I don't like shopping online, actually, I don't like shopping. I find it exhausting to want so much but then I have a difficult time with "want", "need", on the other hand, is quantifiable "how much do I need it?" is usually pretty easy to figure out, wants are so complex, always tangled up with whys and whens and whos
The most difficult thing to acknowledge is that I can't ever have it all, be it all, do it all, given limited resources - one life - 24 hours - 60 minutes.
If I ever got a tattoo it would say:
Choose well, but choose now.
12/09 = 90.0
Dentist Urgh! ...and gin and tonic
12/10 = 89.7
Got a tummy bug today, takin' it easy and using the downtime to plan the holiday menu, trying to find low sugar "healthier" versions of the ol' favourites.
12/11 = 89.5
Ate lunch at a cafe today while running errands - I may never eat out again, How does anyone estimate what is in their meal?!
Near enough is good enough I expect, but it was certainly a wake-up call as to how pedantic I've gotten about what and how much I'm putting in my mouth.
Long ago, before MFP, when I imagined counting calories, I thought it would take a lot of effort and be so inconvenient or frustrating that I'd give up, but (as long as I remember to do it) it's easy... usually,
just sayin' if I ate out regularly I'd be first in line to use the new "meal scan" app 'cause it seems I suck at estimating ingredients.
NSV: Punched a new hole in my belt and it was almost necessary!
12/12 = 89.5~2 My scale is (occasionally) not very reliable and gave me two different weights today and I need just NEED to also record the lower weight right now, ya know?
Meanwhile, who is the sadist that filled my Pinterest feed with all this holiday food? Oh right...
End of the round and I'm still under 200lbs! I'm off to get my fruit tree ASAP! YAY!4 -

Day/Weight/Comment
12/04: 123.4- Been a little messed up the pass 3 weeks- thought I had started menopause but went backwards which explains alot!!! I am 55 I am over this!!!! Still TOMing!!! 6 days later, migraine for 3 weeks, but now know I did not overeat as much as I thought and was ridiculous in my cravings. Hope to be over this hormonal blip soon and be able to access and monitor in a regular controlled environment this round.
12/05: 124.2- Going wrong way and still messed up hormonally -its been a week now. Today no pickleball, home gym workout, harder to push myself here.
12/06: 124.2- So happy to see I held steady. Made my husband his favorite dinner but must have ate in moderation, he had to work yesterday and had an extremely difficult day! While waiting for him drank some wine and talked with my family out west. No pickleball, my secret to calorie burn, yesterday...will play this afternoon. Tried my best to log, always struggle with my own recipes and then proportions.
12/07: 123.0 The scale is a crazy thing- No idea when I went to weigh myself this morning I would be down, don't get me wrong this is great but did not see it coming- I am really hormonally screwed up right now so it must be related to this since I ate slightly over my calories yesterday.
12/08: 123.2- Again tried to guess, was wrong but going sideways for a few days would be good. Migraine finally abated, will probably be more productive in day now, maybe thought I would have stayed the same or slight move down but headache didn't stop to mysteriously around 6pm. Use an Apple Watch and not getting the negative adjustments- trying to search for more info onsite but search engine does not seem to work for me.
12/09: 121.6- Now I know this is too fast I realize that I did not so much undereat yesterday but overexercise and run out of time to eat. Played in a Pickleball Tournament last night, so ate a light dinner before and nothing afterwards. Played all afternoon to warm up - really needed to. Not sure how my body will respond today. I just never had a drop like this before with no prior bloating. I want to lose slow and steady and have a sustainable weight loss.
12/10: 122- So funny- yesterday shocked I was 121.6 today perturbed I am 122, instead of grateful. Was very tired and sore from so much high level pickleball play Tuesday, was dragging all day. Still went to Body Pump and pushing myself to add weight. Actually have now re-added the bar on my back for squats this week ( a really light bar!), need to take this slow, tore my meniscus at beginning of year, shocked no pain this morning.
12/11:121.4- Surprised again ...I know this is good but I am zapped this morning so maybe need to eat a little better today, I have not ever lost fast before. I did fail tracking last night and am going to try to reconstruct but did not weigh anything.. had pickleball clinic last night and we stayed after playing for almost 2 hours after when I finally left- everyone else stayed! Snacked a little when got home, snacked before I went - Played in the afternoon too- we had 55 degree sunny day here in December, Northern Indiana- unbelievably beautiful, had to be outside. I think spin class in morning was what was too much. Missing body pump class this morning, husband forgot to set his alarm, total chaos trying to get him out the door, had to weigh after he left.
12/12:121.4- This is a nice place to be. I had to guess at morning calories yesterday, but got lucky that all the sweets had tree nuts so could not eat those yesterday. We had another beautiful unusual warm day, so even though I was going to not play pickleball yesterday could not resist to be outside one last time. So happy, my son is moving half his stuff home today from college. The winter, which usually shows its face in Indiana sooner than December 21, now is finally going to begin this weekend. So planning on a family meal Saturday, meatballs so expecting some weight gain tomorrow. So will try to get a vigorous workout this morning to counter tonight evening overeat.
12/4: Body Pump- 1 hour, 2 hours Pickleball
12/5: Essentrics, CXWorks, Spin, Stretch, class then a walk.
12/6: Almost 3 hours Pickleball
12/7: Body Pump, 1 hour, 15 yoga, am going to increase this, 2 hours pickleball
12/8: Essentrics, 3 1/3-4 hours pickleball
12/9: Body Pump 2 hours pickleball
12/10: Spin class, outside pickleball, yeah, pickleball clinic
12/11: 2 hours pickleball, 10 minutes elliptical - had to close my rings4
