I'm new here, thanks for the invite. I like the idea of taking it ten days at a time. I've got a long way to go and I'm trying not to hate myself for letting my weight get so high. I was heavy to begin with, then lockdown hit, and I quit smoking and it has piled on this year. My goal for the next ten days is to get into a daily habit of logging foods and exercise, get on the scale every other day, and to end the round at a lower weight than I started. My target for calories is 1200 per day. My target for exercise is to walk daily, rain or shine, and do some calisthenics every other day.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/02 - 145 - Some life changing events happened earlier this week. My husband had surgery Monday which resulted in a diagnosis of bladder cancer. We indulged in a little comfort food this week which was OK. We find out Tuesday the prognosis along with the treatment plan. I urged him to consider retiring so he can focus on his health and he may do that. My 94 year old Mother in law was hospitalized on Tuesday with Covid 19 and a serious UTI. She has been improving with antibiotics and Remdesivir, but she gave it to my 71 year old brother in law and his wife while they were caring for her. Hopefully, they won't have to be hospitalized.
In addition to the medical issues, I'm an accountant for a CPA firm and tax season starts next week. I typically work 60 to 80 hours a week until April 15th. I'm going to have to have a conference with the partners to balance my husband's illness with the work expectations. I'm expecting them to allow me to work from home as much as needed.
All that being said, I am going to have to stay healthy to get through these times. Part of that is staying at a reasonable weight and keeping plenty of healthy food choices in the house. At my previous weight of 186, my blood pressure and cholesterol were too high and my energy was very low, which my weight loss has reversed. I'm also very glad that my husband has maintained a healthy weight and continued to exercise up until the bladder issues started. He is in great shape to fight his battle.

Goal weight for this round: Seeing 115 would be fantastic! Hoping to get rid of the bloat I had from last round.
Another goal: Actually check-in each day and weigh daily.
Previous days
01/02 Haven’t weighed yet for the round. I plan on doing that tomorrow. I took a bit of a hiatus yesterday but caught up with the last posts for the last round. Congrats to everyone and what they accomplished last year! My food was decent yesterday, and it’s looking well calculated today. I’ve had left over collards, one meat ball before they all went in the sauce, two slices of hearty whole grain toast (5g fiber and 5g protein per slice) with cream cheese on one and butter on the other slice (all weighed out 😊). I’m pretty full (it was a lot of left over collards), so I’ll probably make it until dinner without a snack. Dinner will be homemade meatballs I started earlier today and they are now floating contently in homemade tomato sauce. By the time dinner rolls around they will have been getting cozy with the sauce for about 6 hours. I’ll also make some whole wheat thin spaghetti to go with it. Have a good Saturday night everyone!

Goals: Yoga every day! Spin bike at least 5 times per week with at least one 45 – 60 minute ride per week, two 30 minute rides, and 2 20 minute rides.
01/02 Did 30 minutes of a rise and shine yoga video, then my husband and I went for a walk in a local state forest/conservation area that was around 4 miles. Giving my body a break from the bike today. Will plan on doing a ride tomorrow. I have more goals to think about but those are the main two bumped up a little bit from the last challenge.

I have officially hit my goal for this exercise challenge. I think over the past month or however long we've been doing it, I have either done yoga 5-6 days a week maybe every day one of the weeks (not completely sure) and I have also done the spin bike anywhere from 4 to 5 and maybe 6 times in one of the weeks. I loved this challenge and looking forward to the next goals challenge for January 2021! Still thinking about what I want to set for that. I'm sure it'll be spin and yoga-related along with a few other things.
Congratulations on making your goal! Your yoga and spin sessions have been inspirational—SO consistent! Looking forward to seeing what you choose for January. Happy New Year!
Thank you for your kind words! That means a lot and I'm glad that I can help make an impact on other people through my time spent posting here. You are all a wonderful bunch of people and helped make my 2020. Now let's kill it in 2021!

@jaccimc63 You certainly have a lot on your table right now. I know it will be hard to take care of yourself while juggling everyone else's needs. I hope your mother in law, brother in law and wife, all get through the COVID easily like many do. I hope your husbands cancer was caught early and the doctors have their plan together. Wishing him a speedy recovery. And lastly, hope you have smart partners, who give you the time that you need.

It will be yet another day of celebrating with friends today, why do I have so many occasions that center around the sharing of extravagant foods?
For next year I'm going to think up activities that will shift the focus away from the meal/special foods, maybe a costume party for Christmas or a working bee/group project for new years?
I'll tell everyone this year that I'm tryin' to start a thing and see if they go for it.
01/03 = 90.5
So far over my kj's yesterday that I almost wimped out on doing the weigh-in this morning.
I find myself back to my old thought patterns about not wanting to waste *eye roll* the leftover treat foods... must remember: a much more tragic waste would be not accomplishing what I want to in my life.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 137 (round 69 for me ) I'm in for another round for the New Year – I need this to help me! 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 closer to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
Challenge for this round will be to get back into 131s for the end of the round. I think that is reasonable! Stick with good habits; be mindful of what I eat & drink, try to keep it in moderation, keep walking, no binges; remember keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference!End of round 69 134.2 lbs

Keep calm – we're all in this together! Wash hands, be kind, continue to follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus. Be positive for the vaccine – its here and inoculation has started! Take it when offered.
01/01 132.8 - hoping this uptick is due tohigh sodium in the mussels we had for lunch yesterday. 79 calories in credit. 10.53 miles walked yesterday again on the icy snowy pavements.
I didn't manage to stay under 133 over the festive period, but I am back down in the 132s for the end of the round so thats a win! In fact I am finishing the festive period lower than I have for many a year, so I am proud as punch of that !!!
Day/Weight/Comment
01/02 132.8 -11.1 miles walked yesterday, the ice and snow is starting to melt, luckily we got out early cuz now there will be only indoor exercise for me until Tuesday; we have been contacted by NHS test and trace, we have been in contact with a person who has tested positive for Corona virus and we now have to self isolate
I plan on doing some jogging on the spot in the garage and also some stretching and toning exercises. 415 calories in credit yesterday, I really need to keep my calories down the next few days as I will not be able to do the mileage I usually do.
01/03 132.8 -- 2 x 30 minutes jogging in place, just put my music on and went for it! I was really surprised that I didn't get out of breath! It's a bit boring though!! 101 calories over.

😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
January focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:
2021 Focus:- Maintain weight < 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:JGM10D ~|~ Round 137- 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 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2021
- 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.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Back again after not posting for a few rounds. I was still working on this, just had a lot going on in my head as well. Happy to be back.

Have been going to the gym with friends, and maintain my deficit. Hopefully the extra weight from the holidays will work it's way off again. Most of it is probably food bulk and water weight, as I was close to maintenance even on feast days.

Oh NO!! I sure do hope nothing comes of your exposure to the virus. I was thinking about you and your LONG walks yesterday and found myself wishing we had the kind of countryside to walk through that I imagined you in when you described your walks the other day. I'm sure you will be back to those in no time. Just hang in there.
I did have a thought about an option for your jogging sessions. Do you have room to do them in front of the TV? Could you put on one of the nature/travel shows while you do your jogging? I'm thinking things like Aerial Africa (there are lots of other Aerial... in that series), or Untamed Romania. I don't know if you have the Smithsonian Channel in Britain, you can record some of the outdoors exploration shows and play them back. OR, I found this video just now of a guy doing a backpacking trip in MY mountains--the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I haven't watched all of it yet, but it looks like it might be good and you can see what I hike through when I get to go. ;-) Here's the link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1sm2L8svWg I watch backpacking videos and videos like that when I ride my exercise bike because I get bored if I don't. Tuesday will be here before you know it. Will be thinking of you in the meantime. 6 -
@jaccimc63 what a tough spot you find yourself in right now. I will be praying for your family and for you as you support them. I'm so sorry you are dealing with all of this. Hugs.4

01/02 177.8 Lots of exercise yesterday, but no loss yet. Bought food that should help me get back in the groove, so I'm hoping for and working toward, a good round. I do still have some craving demons to battle with after the holidays, so that will be my biggest challenge this round, I think. Going for high protein, lots of veggies and some berries today.
01/03 176.8 Moving in the right direction again. Yay! Stayed well within calorie range yesterday with lots of exercise. Cravings are beginning to lessen. Did 15:9 IF and hoping for longer than that today.

2/3 211.6 Walked 3 miles after 5 hr drive, plank, 1531 cal, 48 net carbs, 2 wine. Time to get back on plan ... saw this number on Dec 15 and it is a relief that it returned after seeing higher numbers during the holidays.

2021 is here! This will be an interesting round. Driving husband to the airport today (1/1/21). He is traveling to check in on his mom, and then also check-in on our never-ending condo repairs (should have been done in October). It’s a little nerve racking to have him traveling, and traveling alone during these times, but it is necessary. We have also decided that when we head down together in February, we will drive. And not fly. Anyhow…. Hubby is away for this whole round. I would traditionally eat ice cream and Chinese food the whole time he is gone, so, to avoid this, I really need to focus on my pre-planning and tracking and not bringing temptations into the house. This would also normally be a nice quite time for me, but instead, I am filling in as daycare for my almost 1 year old grandson. Lunch will be outside my home and I will be getting home just in time to scramble for dinner. Planning and preparing for each day is going to be key if I am going to continue to fit in daily exercise and keeping my daily calories under goal. I know I can do this, it will just take some focus.
Goals for round 137, adapt to the dynamics of this round, and to try and lose 1 more lb. I would like to hit my stated goal of 129 by the end of January.
Previous Goals- Get under 150
- Get under 145 by my birthday (10/26)
- Get to pre-COVID weight from Feb 2020, 142.4
- Get under 140 before Thanksgiving 2020,

- Get below 135
- Lose min 2 lb during December
- Walk/run to Sombrero B for sunrise photo
- Maintain losses of time in Florida

Round 137 – starting weight 132.0
1/2 – 133.0 It’s ok. IMM I am blaming sodium. It should shake out.
1/3 – 131.4 Nice number and unexpected. It is different addressing dinners for one. When not responsible for feeding anyone else, my past habit would be to not cook and eat like I mentioned in my intro paragraph. This morning I have pre-tracked both today (home)and tomorrow (first babysitting day), to keep focused on good habits and make sure that I have what I need available to me.
