- track my food intake
- go for a walk every day
SW: 244.4 lbs
GW: 150 lbs
01/02: 244.3 lbs: (-0.1lbs) Rough start for food yesterday. Went for a long walk (didn’t track how long
01/03: 243.2 lbs: (-1.1lbs)Yesterday was better. Usually every weekend my husband likes to go and get fast food breakfast. I looked up what I previously would get and realized it was 1000 calories! I made a smarter decision and it was only 450 calories instead skipped lunch and had a filling dinner but I was way under my calories and at 9:30 I was scrambling to eat things to get over 1200 calories and get rid of my headache.
01/04: 242.7 lbs:(-0.5 lbs) went on a 5 km walk yesterday which was wonderful! My hubby once again convinced me to eat out (with the promises to not again this week) so I’m not really sure how many calories were in my dinner. Feeling happy and well
01/05: 241.8 lbs (-.9 lbs): back to work yesterday after being on vacation. I’m currently working from home due to Covid and I’d normally snack throughout the day but I didn’t! Yay! I was slightly over my calories but honestly happy that I didn’t feel starving and felt satisfied. Wasn’t able to get on a walk though.

Please join us! Starting on 01/02 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 137
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.
Goals

SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
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 -> 115.6 -> 117.6
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 days01/05 116.0 Whoooooooooosh. I drank lots of fluids yesterday as well as having the onion soup that had lots of greens in it too. I think all the potassium in the greens and the rest of my diet yesterday really helped to push that extra fluid retention I had going on. I made a spiced pear quick bread this morning and created it to have lots of fiber, so hopefully it’ll keep me full for a while. My snack will be onion soup plus 2 meatballs and dinner will be split chicken breasts with more soup and roasted potatoes on the side. I hope you all have an awesome day!
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!
01/03 Will weigh today at some point. Last night’s dinner went well. My husband I went for a long 7.5 mile hike around a local reservoir this morning. The trail sign said 6 miles but it ended up being longer. It turned out well and it was so pretty! I am pretty tired from it today, so we’ve watched a few episodes of ER on Hulu and finished up a few chores. When I got home from the hike, I heated up some carrot ginger soup I had in the freezer and had a slice of toast to go with it. Then, a little later I had a sweet potato with a meatball and a touch of sauce on top. Dinner will be portioned out Trader Joe’s orange chicken and then I think I’m roasting myself some butternut squash to go with it on the side. The calories burned from the long walk are helping me indulge a bit with the orange chicken!
I look forward to being in maintenance again hopefully sooner rather than later, 1200-1275 calories a day plus eating back 150-300 exercise calories on average adds up quick even when eating healthy.
01/04 118.2 Up down up down. Bodies are weird. Not sure what’s on the agenda for today food wise. Maybe some toast with peanut butter for breakfast with an apple on the side. I want to try and make some onion soup because we have a ton of onions and are getting more in our winter CSA this week.
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 two 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.
01/03 Did a 20 minute yoga video and then stretched a bit more afterward. My husband and I also went for a 7.5 mile hike. My body was tired after that, so I didn’t use the spin bike. Will bike tomorrow morning or afternoon.
01/04 Did a 30 minute yoga video this morning and plan on doing a 20 or 30 minute spin ride today.
01/05 Did a 20 minute yoga video but it was more of a mini bodyweight workout. It was cool to do something a little different for a change. I managed to do a 30 minute spin bike ride yesterday! Today, I plan on doing another 30 minute ride because she posted a new 30 min disco music ride. Tomorrow, my goal is to do a 60 minute vinyasa flow and then jump on the bike afterward and do a 60 minute ride.

My eating window was much later than normal last night, so will likely be OMAD today to get my 16 hour fast in. "Santa" gifted us the Universal Yums snack subscription for Christmas, so we are having an Italian night tonight...I'm making a baked pasta for dinner and then we're trying the different Italian snacks/treats from the Yum box. Off to see if I can pre-logged those in MFP.

We had freezing rain all day yesterday, so worth your bones to walk out there. I had a nice NYD, though, with two meditation sessions, some reading, some knitting while listening to podcasts, some kitty cuddling. I might take down the Christmas decorations today, although I do like the tree lights on these gray, gloomy days. I had to remind myself not to step on the scale this morning! I think I’ll set something on it or over it as a reminder. Such a habit! Enjoy your Saturday!

Eating satisfying meals is definitely making me less inclined to snack at night. I did have popcorn last night, more out of habit than hunger, but I haven’t done any random snacking in several days. Hit my goals for calories and meditation. It’s supposed to be above freezing most of the day, so the ice will melt and I should be able to go for a walk without risking my neck — or butt! Happy Sunday!
1/4 - 1835
I haven’t yet driven the snack-at-night monster completely into hiding, but I think I’m making progress. At least I’m more mindful of what I’m doing, which I think is the first step. Some days I’m snack free; last night, not so much. But today’s a new day. Today is also the start of the Ten Percent Happier 21-dat meditation challenge, which is where I’m going from here. I did meditate yesterday, so I’ve been meeting that goal. Yay!
1/5 - 1720
Better snack control yesterday. I’ve been listening to the Audible edition of Self-compassion by Kristin Neff, PhD, and recommend it highly. I very much value science-based work and have a finely tuned b.s. meter, and Dr. Neff’s work meets the standard. I’m working to implement much of what she says in my weight/eating world as well as work, the two realms being not entirely unrelated!, and find myself much more conscious of what I’m doing or not doing and some of the reasons. Daily meditation is helping, too. And turning off the news! 😎

’ve been off track for awhile . I lost 30 lbs last year but could have done better.
This year has been stressful. I’m an Icu nurse and covid has taken its toll on me, got a new hip in May and covid hit me physically dec 12. I was off work 3.5 weeks due to covid causing pneumonia. I’m ready to get healthy , covid is not going anywhere so I need to get healthy and take care of myself. It may be slow due to still recovering but plan on slowly getting back into exercise.

01/02 …..208.1 ….. Travel today.
01/03 …..207.1 ….. Travel yesterday and again today. I don’t quite understand my fluctuations. I think water weight as I was up and down shedding all night. I won’t get in much movement today and food will be away from home again. Just got to get through these couple of days!
01/04 …..207.4 ….. Slightly up due to a very very late night dinner. Travel plans were cancelled at the very last minute and the day was haywire. However, I managed to get my 10,000 + steps in, though it wasn’t easy.
01/05 …..207.0 ….. Gotta make good choices today. I am expecting a handyman and his family over for most of the day to help take down and store my Christmas things. We’ll see how my meals go but there should be lots of activity.

01/03- 165.3 Surprised I was the same weight as I went over my calorie goal. I'll just expect it to show tomorrow.

@Anabirgite -that is the main problem with “a diet!” My realization from a few years ago after a major WW fail faithfully following their plan. You go on a diet to lose only to return to the old WOE and regain. I no longer DIET, I have found a new WOE which works for me which I continue to mostly follow and I love it!5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
01/02 - 58.1kg, horrified to see this number on the scale this morning, my highest weight since maintenance
01/03 - 56.9kg, must have been a salt overload from New Year's Day ham, calories, yoga, walking all good :-)
01/04 - 56.8kg, only doing shorter yoga routine for now, eating good, walking could have been better...
01/05 - 56.3kg, holiday weight is dropping off, walking > 16,000 steps, but too hot for yoga last night
01/06 - 56.1kg, great longer yoga session, >17,000 steps, comfortable deficit

@susiemcmac Welcome back!
@tiabirdie56 Glad to see you posting again! Hang in there!!
@SheilaBoneham I stopped watching news a reading the paper after 9 family deaths in 9 months in 1993-4. I was so depressed already. My DH finally gave up the paper a few months ago and tries to avoid the negativity online.4 -

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.

1/2 118.5 I felt uncomfortably bloated last night. Decided to look back at my 1/1 weights for the last few years-
2017 - 174.5
2018 - 144.5
2019 - 131.5
2020 - 122.0
2021 - 117.0
1/3 118.5 DGD#2 leaves today. Family lunch at Mexican restaurant. I ate some chips and part of a tortilla but mostly stuck to beef fajitas. Surprised there wasn’t a gain because we had a pitcher of Margaritas! May show up tomorrow. I think we’re going to go to Greek today.
1/4 119.0 Stressful night last night only 4 hours of sleep.
1/5 120.5 Not worried, I ate a WHOLE HUGE NY bagel.
Report of activity from previous day
*Two oldest granddaughters visiting until 1/3 and 1/4*
1/1 Walked with neighbor
1/2 2603 steps
1/3 I have decided my January goal will be getting back to longer fasts. 1/4 16 hours on 1/3
1/5 I need to remember to track my fasting in Senza. Aim for 16:8 most days with goal of 36-42 hours once a week. I did a plank for the first time in a long time! 1 full minute. The cat does not like to share horizontal space on the floor so this has to be timed to his sleeping!4 -

Round 135 (10): 136.6 to 133.6 (-3.0 lbs)
Round 136 (11): 133.6 to 133.2 (-0.4 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Refocus on weight loss after being at maintenance over Christmas and New Year’s
- Begin 30-day plank challenge
- Decide on personal and health goals for 2021
01/02 - 134.6 - Ok, there’s the impact of New Year’s Eve/Day. It’s ok - some of it is water, and and for anything that isn’t - I have my meal plan for the week, lots of fun new workouts to do, a plank challenge for the month and a goal weight to hit by April! I’m excited for 2021!
01/03 - 134.6 - Did a boxing workout this morning that really got me sweating! Today is meal prep day - making egg muffins, overnight oats, lunch for the week and granola bars for snacks. The scale will go back down soon - just need to be patient.
01/04 - 133.4 - Now it really is back to normal life - DH is back to work and we’re starting up homeschool again for my daughter. It’s a cold, grey day here, which doesn’t bother me too much but does make it hard to entertain two kids when they don’t want to get dressed and go play in the rain. I’ve already entered all my pre-planned meals and snacks for today into MFP - hopefully that will help me stick to them!
01/05 - 133.2 - I’m cautiously looking forward to getting below 133. I’ve been this close before, but I could go right back up tomorrow. Trying to trust the process - I know I’m burning calories and eating at a deficit. Rest day on my plank challenge, but I did 30 minutes of strength training and 20 minutes of boxing/cardio.

Thanks! for the welcome back @deepwoodslady and @quiltingjaine
@quiltingjaine, I recalled you talking about the Senza app. I've been using it for 3 days now. I like it. I never stopped fasting, that has been my way of eating since teenage years. During 2020, I did forget to jot down my fasting hours a couple of days every week. The app is a new "toy" so I know I'll use it for a while and I like not having to count on my fingers😆
Now I need to go through the 2020 chats to post my stats. I think that is back to Round 117.5 -
"Bumping" this thread back to the top again since all the other older 10 day threads were refreshed and basically this one got lost in my top bookmarks!5

SW: 198.8/90.2

Next goal: 189.5/86 (BMI: 29.8)
Day/Weight/Comment01/02 = 90.2
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.
01/04 = 90
Got back on the better eating wagon yesterday, took me longer to adjust back after the holiday than I thought it would, I just kept telling myself that this would be the final day and then the next and the next, relapsing back into old patterns -eating away at my resolve that changing my lifestyle is important.
Before my next food focused holidays (June Solstice) I'm going to have to work out some strategies to manage those "lingering on" tendencies and reignite my resolve more quickly... maybe in the days following my holidays I'll find a healthy activity like a fun run or plan a hike or ride so I'm abruptly confronted with the reality of why eating well matters.
01/05 = 89.8
I'm trying to get some Oomph happening for January but am feeling like I'm lagging behind in all the things.
Got to remember that it's not a race, it's not like I can sprint and "win". it's not about being good/bad, it's about no longer denying my physical self the care and consideration that I have always automatically given to my pets and my loved ones. I'm realizing that even my home has routinely gotten more of my attention than my health LOL! As Willy Wonka said "What do you think will come of that?"

JGM10D Round 137
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!😷
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:- 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.- 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.

Oh, can I relate to this?!? My hubby has been out of town since the 27th and I hate to say it, but I do NOT miss our TV habits. I will dread that part of his return. He is obsessed with the news; I haven't watched a single minute of it since he left. I am worried about what's happening in Georgia this afternoon, but just cannot bring myself to watch the coverage. It won't change anything anyway--will just stress me out! So, instead, I'm working on a blanket for my grandbaby's birthday. I choose peace and tranquility.7 -

Better snack control yesterday. I’ve been listening to the Audible edition of Self-compassion by Kristin Neff, PhD, and recommend it highly. I very much value science-based work and have a finely tuned b.s. meter, and Dr. Neff’s work meets the standard. I’m working to implement much of what she says in my weight/eating world as well as work, the two realms being not entirely unrelated!, and find myself much more conscious of what I’m doing or not doing and some of the reasons. Daily meditation is helping, too. And turning off the news! 😎
Thank you for the audible book suggestion--I've put it in my wish list to read next! Also, I definitely agree regarding turning off the news

I just didn't show up for the end of round 135 and all of round 136. I've put 4 days of 136 on here for my own sake.... Feel free to ignore.
OSW 88KG
RSW 65.0kg (I'm doing 14 days as I started again on 29th)
Average last round - didn't measure!
12/29 65kg....starting with stopping booze and drinking lots of water
12/30 64 kg travel day feeling queasy so very little food
12/31 63kg...celebrating a 2kg drop since I recommitted to keto and tracking did a 25 min run.
1/1 63.25kg which is fine after some wine. All ready for the new round!
Round 137 starts here!
01/02 63.15kg going to track today and stay under calories.
01/03 63.4kg over calories yesterday and today
01/04 64.2kg. Back to the gym. Back to work. Back to deficit.
01/05 63.8kg. All good yesterday and gym done for today.
01/06 63.45 its always good to be lower than the day before! Did cross-fit at the gym today and it was hard but great fun. Although I am still 3.45kg above my maintenance weight I am down overall. It is my 2 year anniversary for starting the weight loss journey and this is one of my before and after pics.
