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...
...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.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/13 (Sunday) = 132.0
Oops. Wrong direction. Too much couch time & snacking yesterday. On-line Christmas shopping has its disadvantages-->no walking involved. Sighhhh...guess that’s why I’m here. : ) Exercise=7 single leg calf raises each side, hip flexor stretch x20 seconds each. (I know it's not much--trying to start a habit!)
12/14 (Monday) = 132.4
Well....harrumph. I think I did better today. I need to be more diligent tracking! I went over my allotted calories yesterday and to the shock of Nobody Anywhere, excess calories = excess pounds. Boo. Exercise today=calf raises, hip flexor stretch, clamshell, supine SLR, side SLR, heel walk. No run today--got side tracked filing away All The Papers. How does the paper pile get so ridiculously large?!!

I was thinking about sitting this round out because I was on medication that made me drop weight rather rapidly. So I expect to actually gain weight this round rather than lose it since I am off the medication. But it's still good to check in everyday. My goal this 10 days is to gradually increase my exercise. Good news I am feeling so much better. I'd been avoiding the doctor because of covid and that was a mistake.

12/12 …..204.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/13 …..203.2 ….. A nice little drop to start this round. I stuck to low calorie and carb yesterday until the peanut butter toast last night (just too hungry). However, due to a diligent day, my calories remained low and my carbs were mid-range. It helped. Good luck everyone this round!
12/14 …..203.4 ….. I would love to call this a normal fluctuation but….. well, my meals were on track but the Christmas goodies people share got to me a bit too much.

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!
Dec 11 – Danced 20 minutes and even sang to the songs!
Dec 12 – No Dancing. Not enough movement. Online shopping again!
Dec 13 – Danced for about 14 minutes.

Took a break the past few months from tracking. Put on so much weight this year in addition to the 40 lb I already needed to loose. Big family event in 4 months and need to get serious now and drop at least 10 (if not more) by then.

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!End of round 69 134.2 lbs

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.

12/15 - 149.7 - This is okay, I expected it. 18hr fast and only 70oz water yesterday. Dinner was late so I'm hoping to hit 17hrs today.

Previous Day's Comments12/13 - 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.

12/01 -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

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.

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.

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.

When I add in the task of doing my daughter hair for 2 and half hours last night it adds to running out of tim. I never cooked dinner. Had meal prep ideas, never got to it. The weather was warm yesterday so I took to the kids to the park. That was nice.

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.

Round 135
Please join us! Starting on 12/13 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 135
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.

I’m currently up 50 stupid pounds from Nov. 2018. That’s 2 pounds a month. I’m so disappointed in myself, though of course regaining lost weight is the norm. I don’t want to be normal. I don’t like to set weight goals because I can’t control my weight, only what I do about it, but I’m shifting gears and setting goals of 155 by 1-1-22, and 130 by 1-1-23. I’m ordering warmer clothes for winter walking/running and I’m determined to stick with it. It took me 3.5 years to lose 84 pounds, which is an overall average of 2# per month (there were faster periods and plateaus), but 2 per month seems realistic for me. I did it before, I can do it again. I just have to quit pretending otherwise.

Yesterday was good. No nighttime noshing. Plenty of protein. A little exercise despite the cold wind. Happy Monday, all!
12/15 - 182 - 1368
Another good day yesterday. I did have a whole-grain English muffin with natural peanut butter last night because I was really hungry, but calories good anyway. Off to the post office with final “away” gifts — aaacccckkkkkk! Lines! Be safe, all.

Hi, I’m Karen, in my 50’s
OSW Sept.
2018 187
12/13-165-Where I started last round. I’ve eaten good over the weekend, just some salty food. It started raining on the way home from my bike ride Friday and hasn’t stopped. Hopefully I can get a walk in today.
12/14-DNW- I ate well over the weekend and had zero alcohol, but because of the rain, nonstop, I did not get any exercise.
12/15-161-IF 17hrs. Handyman finished my sewing room yesterday; waiting for the cabinet doors to arrive. I just need to do some organizing. It was fun having him here on and off for the last 6 months since we moved in., he was our builders foreman and was here every step of the way, building our house. I’m old enough to be his mother, but he was my little buddy.
Hoping for a bike ride or long walk today. Rain has stopped and it is very cold.
Goals:
Ride 10, mi., Walk 5 mi. Or Skate 1 mi.
Bike=41 total
Walk = 17 total
Skate=1 total8 -

Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110
Previous rounds: 125.2 -> 122.8 -> 121.6 -> 121.2 -> 119.8-> 119.4 -> 117.8 ->116.6 -> 117.2 ->117.2->114.8 ->116.8 -> 116.4 -> 114.0 -> 115 -> 115.4 ->115 ->113 -> 113-> 113.8 ->114.6 -> 113.6 -> 115.8-> 116
Goal weight for this round: Seeing 114 again would be fantastic!
Another goal: Actually check-in each day and weigh daily.
Previous days12/13 115.2 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, and an open-face egg sandwich. 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. Have a good Tuesday!
12/13 My husband and I went for a 4 mile walk in this crazy 60-degree weather in MA today. I also did 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.

@SherryRueter -Glad to see you, how is your pain?🌸
@Tesha231 - It’s cold, to me at least, and I have to psych myself up and plan what I am going to layer on and shed as I get warm. If I head out and feel cold, I chicken out immediately, so prep and planning help me. Good luck!8 -

QUESTION for folks living in a cold environment. How do you get motivated to exercise outside now that it is darn right cold?
Bundle up with lots of layers so you know you can't possibly be cold with all of them on (and then you can easily shed the layers as your body warms up) or find something to do inside lol. I typically choose the latter hehe. I hate the cold and it doesn't get along with me.6 -

Goals for this round:
- Continue to do yoga nightly
- Lose 1 - 1.5 lbs
12/13 - 136.8 - Feeling incredibly bloated and yucky today. Not a great start. I managed to get up and make myself do 45 minutes of Just Dance, which helped me feel better but obviously the scale is still high. I’m going to try and relax as much as possible for the rest of the day - as much as the kids let me!
12/14 - 136.8 - Yeah, so much for resting yesterday. I was on my feet all day long chasing kids, doing curbside pickups or making my meal prep for the week. I’m happy to get back to the meal prep though - it makes it so much easier to stick to my daily calories when I’m not figuring out on the fly what to eat.
12/15 - 135.6 - So excited this morning, and not even because of the scale (though I’m very happy to be under 136 again). Last night my husband surprised me with my Christmas present early - a Series 6 Apple Watch! I’d been using his old Series 1 after he got a new one last year; it worked fine and I really liked it, but I was really interested in the new Apple Fitness + that was coming out and you needed a Series 3 and up to use it. So Apple Fitness + launched yesterday... and he got me the new watch so I could get it! I tried two workouts this morning - a HIIT and a Strength training - and LOVED it. It was absolutely adorable with the kids trying to do it with me too. I’m not going to stop doing Ring Fit and Just Dance, but this is an awesome new option for me.

Goal: At least 15 minutes of yoga before bed each night
12/13 - 15 minutes of yoga and mindful breathing before bed.
12/14 - Skipped last night - too tired and fussy toddler again. Committing to doing it tonight.
12/15 - Did 12 minutes of yoga and about 5 of deep breathing before bed. Days have still been challenging with my 5 year old, but I do think this is helping. It’s helping me sleep, at least, which also results in a calmer me during the day!
