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.

The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

@musicsax Just wow on your exercise accomplishments!

Thank you - unfortunately due to the multiple close family "issues" exasperated by the Covid pandemic, I will not actually meet my target this year, but I'm doing my best to make up for lost time in these last 2 weeks of the year.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 135 (round 67 for me ) I'm in for another round – I need this to lose a little more before Christmas! 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 stay in132s or maybe creep into the 131s? 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!

Happy Holidays! This next 10 days will be hard for me and probably the 10 days after that too. I learned participating in the last 2 rounds that being accountable to this message board have shockingly helped me exceed my goals. Now to practice control- to paraphrase my favorite poem form Rudyard Kipling- "If you can keep your head while all around you your favorite food and drinks tempt you"...Sorry to purist, I adapt a phrase from that poem for any moment in my life for guidance.

12/13 -121.6 So relieved to start here. Last night my kids(who are both technically adults now) were home and made spaghetti and meatballs- my husbands family recipe. Delicious and even though I had a massive migraine had a wonderful time. Ended last round not tracking my dinner last night, and will need to figure out how to track these family meals with other cooks in my kitchen. Also will need to start making my biggest downfall- poppyseed roll, and Christmas cookies. Its easier to have self control when the cookies are not in the house.
12/14 - 122.4 Great way to start- FAIL- Didn't track and log last night and guesstimated Saturday, so why am I surprised I gained. I seem to start each round with a gain and have to keep learning the hard way to track is the secret ( really not secret but obvious!) way to success. Foiled last night by cute, nice, darling neighbor dropping cookies off - the nerve of some people. They were delicious....
12/15 -122.0 In economics there is a mantra - "Prices are sticky downward"- which i think can be equally applied to weight! Today I am volunteering at the Salvation Army for the toy and food distribution-I am so blessed I can help out but diet wise will be challenged- I need to squeeze in workout this morning and avoid the snack and treat room.
12/16 -121.6 Yesterday was wonderful! I am so thankful to the Salvation Army that I could volunteer to help distribute gifts and food to so many families. They are to be commended on all they accomplish. Yesterday went so well, but no time to snack at all- barely time to sneak to bathroom-which I think I needed more to just have a break from my face shield for 3 minutes. Today need to start baking- honestly am a little nervous, I love cookies and poppy seed rol so much, and have never showed any self control in past with these items...
12/17 -121.2 No psychic energy here-was sure I was going to be up...But they say to trust the system! I only make poppyseed roll once a year, and I love it. I inputted the recipe into MFP, scared of the numbers and ate up every exercise calorie and just a little over...well let's just say over, but logged it and stopped. Small victories. Can't believe I went down. Tomorrow challenge will be the cookies-eek!

To you all- just wanted to say how much I enjoy reading your posts daily, you all inspire me. I love the humor and expressions of success and even the expressions of frustration. This is such a wonderful and supportive community. I just wanted to thank you all, you have really helped me.

UTMom81

First of all, let me say thank you to each of you who have offered condolences, prayers, and virtual hugs. I will say that the inability to be hugged by those who love you and loved Mom has made this even more difficult. God created us as social creatures, designed to gain strength from the love that we share between human beings. That may be one of the hardest things 2020 has imposed upon us--distance from those we love, some of it permanent, but even for those who haven't dealt with a loss, distance from our support structures, friends, and family. Looking forward to the days when we can hug again, worship and pray together, sit around and talk without fearing for our lives or the life of a loved one.

12/17 DNW—scales packed in the car—going back to Tennessee today to make Christmas happen for the TN part of my family, so hopefully I can eat better and exercise more in the coming days. I need to do that for me right now. Oh, y'all would be proud of me: when someone called yesterday to see what they could do for us, I ASKED for a salad!!! Tasted SO good!

12/16 I got in my first walk of the round yesterday at 2.91 miles. Took Dad (89 years old) to a park for part of it, so pace was very slow for that section, but it was a joy to be able to do that with him. Definitely my favorite part of the day.

Total toward 100 mile goal walked by 12/31 (since 11/14)= 56.24 WALK
Total Bike Miles toward Goal: 52.93 BIKE

Kick 2020 to the Curb Goal: 3-30 min exercise bike workouts per week= 105 miles by Jan. 1 in addition to the walking goal I'm already working on. May do another 5K walk on or around Jan. 1, too, and just see if I can beat my Turkey Trot time. When I set those goals, I had no idea how much time I would spend sitting at my mother’s bedside, so I most likely won’t meet them now. It’ll be ok. I just need to work back up to getting in more movement every day now.

Round 135 is back to reality. Day one weigh-in will be on my home scale and will be interesting to see. The round will end just days before X-mas. Goal for this is rather boring. Try to maintain the weight loss I had while in Florida while I figure out my colder weather exercise patterns and continue to adjust my daily calorie goal while nearing my ultimate goal weight.

Previous goals: get under 150; get under 145 for my birthday (10/26); get to pre-COVID weight 142.4, get under 140 before thanksgiving, get to 137.6 (weight on 10/2/19), not gain over Thanksgiving, get below 135, lose 2 lb during December, walk/run to Sombrero B for sunrise.

Round 135 – starting weight 132.6 (florida scale)

12/13 – 133.6 Welcome home to me with a 1 lb gain. I am curious about the significance. Is it the change of scale, real but travel/fluid retention related, or what? Still thrilled to be at this number. We’ll see what the next days tell me. Back to reality today, and scrambling to be ready for the holidays while doing COVID quarantine due to our travel.

12/14 – 132.8 So the two scales must match pretty well, which is nice to know. Wrenched my back yesterday being stupid. Need to make sure it does not turn into an excuse to not keep good habits going.

12/15 – 133.8 It’s going to be one of those rounds…… Went out of control late last night. Got into leftover Halloween candy that I had been controlling perfectly since my last binge mid October. Moving on.

12/16 – 134.8 CICO are fine, so I know these gains are not fat but fluid. Even my 12/14 evening candy binge had kept me under that day’s TDEE. ATM I am blaming pain meds. Yesterday, I have resorted to full on meds, around the clock Naproxen sodium with extra strength Tylenol. That combo means I can almost bend over and managed to sleep a bit better last night. I can walk well (once I stand up), but 19 degrees is not making it inviting. So ticked with myself. Need to stay focused and need to remember that diligent tracking will allow me to parse the cause of a gain, and power through until all this sorts out. Giving it a couple more days before I bother the doctor.

12/17 – 133.2 Pain meds are gone. Back is still off, but could sleep last night. Fortunately, I can do my exercises (cycle, walking, planks) thought not attempting jogging or hills. Calories good. Yesterday’s exercise with good music seems to be helping get my head back in the game. Today is a significant snowstorm here. Already did 20 minutes on the bike before reporting in here. Looking to break up the day with other mini workouts. We’ll see if I have that to report tomorrow morning. :P

@UTMom81 Yes, times are so socially challenging. My FIL passed away Oct 2019. I cannot tell you how many times my MIL has since said that she is grateful that it was then, and no now. All these "no touch" restrictions have gotten so much in my head that I have caught myself flinching if someone reaches out, even if they are someone that is "safe". UTMom, so glad that you are now going to get some time for you, and time with family and the holidays. Take care!

Another goal: Actually check-in each day and weigh daily.
Previous days

12/13 115.2 I’ll happily take the one pound woosh because it’s been a while since I’ve seen a decent drop. This is making me feel like 114 could be in sight by the end of this round 😊.
Today has been a busy one in the kitchen. I started out by making whole grain apple carrot muffins, then I peeled and chopped up some sweet potatoes to throw in the freezer because some were starting to turn, and then I roasted a sugar pumpkin and 4 butternut squashes (for easier meal prep in the future). For the squash I cooked the bottom rounded part by just halving it and roasting it, then scooping out the flesh and pureeing it and for the easier to peel top half I peeled and diced it up and to put in the freezer for soups or roasting in the future. To top it off I also made some macadamia nut butter because it has been on my to-do list for several weeks now. The bag of macadamia nuts has been in my pantry for a long time and nut butter seemed like a healthier option than making cookies with them.
Tonight’s dinner will be pork chops with roasted brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, and apple sauce.
12/14 115.6 NSV for the morning, even though the number is up, I woke up not feeling puffy in my face like I had been all last week. So hopefully this extra water I had on me is working its way out. Dinner tonight was kale massaged with a sesame dressing topped with roasted sweet potatoes, hakurei turnips, purple potatoes, beets, brussels sprouts, and chickpeas. Then, a cup of broth on the side.
12/15 Didn’t weigh yet, but woke up feeling good again puffiness wise 😊. Food was on point yesterday. My breakfast today will be one of the apple carrot muffins, an apple, egg, slice of cheese and toast. When I just had a muffin, macadamia nut butter and a large apple yesterday for breakfast, it didn’t really satisfy me. So I’m seeing if I notice a difference by switching up the composition a bit today. Dinner will be the Thai red curry with veggies and brown rice tonight.

12/16 115.0 Dinner last night really hit the spot and was super satisfying. I even had a little bit of leftovers in the pan that will be perfect for my husband to have with his lunch today. Today’s breakfast will be 2 slices of whole wheat toast with macadamia butter and a large apple with cinnamon on top. My snack will be one of those apple carrot muffins and some crunchy hakurei turnips and kohlrabi for some added volume but low calories. Dinner will be chuck roast cooked in the croc pot with white sweet potatoes, carrots, kohlrabi, maybe some kale, and a couple of white or purple potatoes. It’s supposed to snow tonight and tomorrow, so I figured a stew type dinner would be nice and comforting with the cold snowy weather.
We also decided to not eat at my in-laws home for Christmas this year. We will stop by and exchange some gifts and food outside but then head home and hangout virtually. Although we are quarantining, my husband has several appointments coming up before Christmas and we don’t want to put my mother in law at risk, especially after receiving the amazing news that they couldn’t detect any Lymphoma after only 3 treatments (she will continue the last three treatments to ensure every darn cancer cell is gone though)!!!!!!! Side note: Dana Farber is truly amazing with their level of care and treatments.

12/17 Did not weigh yet. The roast came out so good last night! I’m very excited about leftovers tonight. I plan on making some sort of Shepard’s pie with it or making up some whole wheat dumpling batter to bake them on top of the stew in the oven. I made sure to have lots of gravy left over, so it’ll be perfect! I weighed out the amount of meat left and there is about 13 oz, so it’ll be the perfect portion for my husband and me to split. Breakfast will be oatmeal with macadamia nut butter, maple syrup, a touch of butter and dried cranberries. I’m really looking forward to that too! I love cozy food when it’s snowing outside. My snack today will be my apple carrot muffins and a big apple.
Happy almost Friday! Be careful in the snow if you're in New England, it looks rough out there!


12/13 My husband and I went for a 4 mile walk in this crazy 60-degree weather in MA today. I also did a 30 minutes of yoga this morning to help my hip muscles.
12/14 I did a quick 15 minute yoga routine this morning.
12/15 I did a 45 minute yoga video focused on core work and plan on doing a 30 minute spin bike ride later today.
12/16 I got the 30 minutes of spin done last night. I started this morning with a 40 minute vinyasa flow and plan to do 20-30 minutes of spin at 3:30ish today.
12/17 Started the morning with a 40 minute yoga vinyasa flow. I was impressed, I even got a touch sweaty for the first time. It was a fun one filled with poses to help open my hips that like to stay tight between sitting all day and using the spin bike. I might do a 20 minute spin workout today or some strength training. Not quite sure yet…or maybe both because dinner won’t take long to cook tonight.

12/14 - 149.0
12/15 - 149.7
12/16 - 148.4
12/17 - 148.1 - I'm not entirely sure what these drops are about. I'm certain I'm eating enough. I'm definitely feeling full during my meals and my body isn't reacting in any abnormal way other than the scale. Any long term IF-ers out there experience a steady weight/weight gain followed but a fairly sudden and quick drop? It seems too fast and too sudden, but this is the first time I've consistently fasted. Fasted 19.75hrs yesterday, water still not great - 36oz maybe? Need to get that back up, especially since the bloat has gone up. Crispitos were actually quite good yesterday. My first time frying anything like that. They're kind of like taquitos. I used venison and onion, cooked up. Took tortillas, wrapped the meat/onion in them, and fried. Garnish as you wish (salsa, hot sauce, cheese, etc. We thought of leftover night tonight and had the idea of pouring the leftover chili BF made over leftover crispitos. Excited to try that!). Its frigid to me - 25 degrees! I thought I moved away from this bitter cold, brrrr. Hope I don't catch a chill, like cold to the bones, early on that I can't seem to shake loose. Maybe a quick morning workout will warm me up enough I can curl up under my couch blanket to stay warm.

Previous Day's Comments

12/13 - Not at all surprised with the bump up. Expected it to be more of an increase, honestly. Fasted 16hrs yesterday and 60oz water yesterday. Hoping to be AF today. It is a pretty chill day. I'll be content with a 12hr fast as I had a drink last night around a fire just talking - 12 hrs puts me at 230pm. Will see if I can push for longer but one day won't completely undo everything. Back on the wagon today with closing fasting window as early as I can after dinner.
12/14 - Back down and then some. Visually a little bloated, though. I am not at all sure what is going on with this sudden weight loss. Yesterday I was very likely below calories but I wasn't overly hungry, either. Otherwise, I've been expecting significant bumps up. Fasted 5 minutes shy of 12hrs, hence the bloat. Also only got about 3-3.5hrs of solid sleep last night. 96oz water. No alcohol. Finished dinner early so unless BF makes breakfast for me, I can easily reach 17-18hrs. I will try to track food to make sure I'm eating enough. I did this last week and had plenty enough then. Wondering if my body was adjusting to fasting again? I've never had a long adjustment (10 weeks!) like that, but my hormone imbalance issue a few weeks ago may have prolonged a lot of things. May have reset my body, too, now that I'm back on track hormonally.
12/15 - This is okay, I expected it. 18hr fast and only 70oz water yesterday. Dinner was late so I'm hoping to hit 17hrs today.
12/16 - Ended up doing an accidental OMAD yesterday. Didn't get near enough water, either - estimating 48oz or so. Finally able to pass out last night and get good sleep. It was a super struggle to wake up this morning. Guess body and mind were trying to play catch up on several days of 3-4hr sleep. Attempting chicken crispitos today. Not sure how well it'll go, but I'm going to try it!

Completed: 7/15

12/01 - What better way to beat anxiety than yoga. Today I'll try to get some meditative yoga to help me calm down after last night.
12/02 - Yesterday I got halfway through my yoga workout and the dog started throwing up everywhere. I have a weak stomach so cleaning it had me gagging and running to the bathroom. Ruined the mood. Try again today to make up for it
12/03 - Did get my yoga done yesterday. Yoga With Adriene has her December calendar up so I'm following those videos on the days I can practice. Yesterday was a 10 minute meditation yoga so I decided to get some movement as well by finishing the practice I didn't get to on 12/01. I just started over since it was also a pretty short one.
12/04 - Started my yoga practice but was interrupted with BF waking up earlier than normal. The worst part about having a house a tad too small.
12/05 - I realized I'm behind on YWA calendar. I did the meditation as day 2 instead of day 1! Oops. Hoping a short practice today since I'm not sure plans.
12/06 - Didn't get a practice in and not sure I'll get one in today. Will have to focus on getting them done during the week and give myself slack on weekends since they're always spur of the moment.
12/07 - No yoga. Couldn't even finish making coffee and BF was ready to go. I kind of figured that would happen. Hoping today I'll wake up a little bit more so I can get a practice in, even if its short and sweet.
12/08 - No yoga, work has been crazy busy with meetings. Today is even busier! Almost back to back meetings. It'll be a miracle if I can get yoga in today. The remainder of my work week looks just as bad. Will keep looking for opportunities
12/09 - Managed to squeeze in a really quick practice for gut health yesterday. Not sure I'll get to today, but I'll keep trying to squeeze something in whenever I possibly can!
12/10 - Work got stupid busy so couldn't squeeze in a practice yesterday. Once my 630am meeting is over, I'll hop on the living room TV for practice since BF won't be up until 8 at the very earliest (plus I have an 830 meeting). I'm not as groggy this morning so I think I can push through to hopefully wake me up fully.
12/11 - Right after my meeting I did a quick practice, but it was more of a morning wake up stretch to jolt some energy through you. It worked, I needed a good, over-the-top morning stretch
12/12 - Didn't get a chance to, had to run errands early before the weekend flood of tourists made it in.
12/13 - Got a quick ab yoga workout in and I'm still feeling it today. Whoooa! Need to find a nice simple practice since I'm running on 5-6hrs sleep right now (stupid insomnia) that won't leave me feeling too drained after
12/14 - I didn't get to finish my practice, but I got most of it done, so I'm calling it a success.
12/15 - I was so tired yesterday. Didn't get much sleep last night, either, but going to try for an easy stretch practice just to get some movement in
12/16 - Didn't get one in yesterday. By the time I had any kind of energy, work blew up and I used my energy working.
12/17 - Didn't happen. Was quite groggy and unmotivated yesterday. Sleepy this morning but the frigid cold shocked me awake enough I'm looking up a youtube as soon as I post to try to warm myself up with physical activity.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/13 - 142.5 - My life's been a little crazy over the past week, but I have managed to track my weight. I'll try to catch up on all the posts from last round that I missed.
12/14 - 144 - Not a surprise. I had a feeling that the scale was off yesterday and I had plenty of sodium. Drinking all the water today!
12/15 - 144.5 - I'm really going to try to stay within weight loss calories the rest of the week. I don't want to go into Christmas at the top of my maintenance.
12/16 - 144.5 - I'm just glad my weight didn't go any higher.
12/17 - 145 - Stress is getting to me. We found out last week that my husband may have bladder cancer. We should know more on the 28th when he has a cystoscopy. I'm right at that level of stress where I eat for comfort especially with all the Christmas goodies around. My husband has wanted some comfort food too and I'm not keeping him from that either. (He doesn't have a weight problem) Logically, I know food is not going to fix our issues, but I've decided I'm not going to beat myself up if I go over maintenance. I'll just keep tracking and staying mindful, so I don't have too much to lose after the holidays.

Goal this round: Just average better than the last round. Frankly, I just want to get through the next month close to my current average. That is not surrender; that would be a victory for me.

December is a brutal month for eating temptation. The baked goods come charging out of nowhere as everyone shares their love for each other.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Round 135
Month/Day: Weight / Comment

12/13: 211.2
Today is a Christmas dinner with DS and his wife and our dear Grand Son DGS. We will be out of town on Christmas, thus the early celebration.

DW has planned a perfect comfort food feast, including roast beef and some kind of mashed potato dish with sour cream and butter in it. Beforehand we will (socially-distanced) deliver a portion of the food to my parents. We will trade them for some pumpkin pie and cranberry salad. They are 85, and we are just being careful. So sad for my mom. These family times are so important to her.

Expecting no loss for tomorrow’s weigh-in.

12/14: 212.0
All things considered I am fine with this. Yesterday was a great day for the family.

12/15: 212.2
OK, not fine with this. I was a good boy yesterday. Probably still paying for two days ago.

12/16: 211.4
Planning some holiday travel and DW is clearing out he refrigerator and pantry. Last night we left over mashed potatoes and boiled potatoes. I feel like Frodo, Merry and Pippen.

12/17: 211.6
Can you believe we had baked potato last night? Second breakfast is NOT in the plans today.

Yesterday, we got a care package form our daughter who works at two bakeries in Missouri. Three wonderful loafs of bread and a bag of Italian cookies. So of course I split a cookie with DW and made some toast with some of the bread.

12/13 213.1 No exercise, 1492 cal, 47 net carbs, 1 wine. Pancakes for breakfast + chips & guac for lunch.
12/14 212.8 No exercise rainy weekend, plank, 2486 cal, 44 net carbs, 2 wine. Really rich dinner - Sheet Pan Mustard Chicken with Bacon, Mushrooms & Onions.
12/15 211.6 🎗Walked 3.1 miles, plank, 1142 cal, 78 net carbs, AF. Red beans and rice for dinner surely bump up the scale but it didn't. Maybe because of smaller portion or no cornbread? Low calories overall today and I guess carbs were not as out of control as I thought.
12/16 212.1 Walked 2.4 miles in misty rain, plank, 1269 cal, 85 net carbs, 3 wine. Pasta for dinner. WI at my obgyn’s yesterday fully clothed w/shoes in the afternoon was 212! When I last saw her in Feb 2019 I weighed 235.
12/17 213.4 Walked 1.9 + .9 miles, 1846 cal, 144 net carbs, AF. I think I pushed the limits with a restaurant salad at lunch and then Grimaldi’s pizza for dinner! Both were delicious but back to the board to drive the scale back down.

@AR10at50 it’s so weird, I don’t have any pain. I expected nerve pain but none. A little at night maybe. I take a Tylenol just for fun..... 🤷‍♀️ Perhaps my solid nutrition has helped or my adherence to sitting a lot with my feet up. I’m super thankful. But its weird.
