01/15 192.9 Being cognisant of good fats (nuts, seeds, avo)...including 1/2 cp cashews in my blender salad dressing today. Just enough fat for the day to keep my body humming. On target with calorie deficit...low enough to lose 2 pounds/week, but not enough to impact metabolism. Life is good.
01/16 192.1 Today for lunch I had vegan nori rolls with avocado (my fat for the day)....yummy!
01/17 192.1 Woke up this morning to a beautiful jar of lentils sprouting in my kitchen window. Today
I'm going to treat myself to a raw vegan chili using up the sprouts....so good!

Day/Weight/Comment
1/12 - 170
1/13 - 169.9 stood very still on the scale as it couldn't decide between this or 170 for a second
1/14 - 169.2 jumped off the scale so it wouldn't change it's mind!
Shortened the IF eating window yesterday as I just wasn't hungry when the window usually opens at 11 a.m. Closed the window at the usual 7 p.m. I don't think IF 18:6 would be doable everyday at this point. Will be interesting to see what the scale says tomorrow as I will likely go back to 16:8 today.
1/15 - 170.0 stood on the scale a while thinking it would go back to 169.9. It didn't. lol Don't mind staying stable. Drops-&-Pops usually mean a whoosh is coming for me.
1/16 - 170.5. Always, always have the pie a’la mode!
1/17 - 169.4 not a whoosh or a low for this round but better than yesterday!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/11 …..207.0 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/12 …..207.0 ….. I traveled yesterday and am THRILLED that (so far) nothing extra showed up on the scale. Because I woke up earlier than usual for the travel, I fell asleep much earlier than usual last night. That meant no late night eating. It really helped!

01/13 …..207.2 ….. This is just a fluctuation. Yesterday I actually worked to make sure I got in my 10,000 steps. I ended with 12,123 steps. Before retirement, the steps came pretty easily and automatically on my fitbit during work. Now….. well, I will have to work for them.

01/14 …..207.0 ….. This is more like maintaining than losing. I made a nice keto version of stuffed green peppers for dinner and shared with a friend during movie night. However, my late night snacks were not huge, but not good choices. Self-sabotage! Today is a lazy day. I’m not getting in much movement. I feel very tired but I will watch my meals and snacks today. I just need to see something, ANYTHING. Come on 6!!!

01/15 …..xxxxx ….. Woke up to a friend banging on my sliding glass door to get in before I was even up. Made coffee and drank a cup or two before I remembered I hadn’t had a chance to weigh. I did well yesterday with my diet until late at night. A mini binge so I am a little afraid of the scale.

01/16 …..207.0 ….. Clearly the choices are keeping me from major gaining, but not helping me to kick-start this journey again and start losing. I am going to have to tweak, and I know it is in the snack dept. I slept over 6 hours last night, which is unheard of! Yesterday was a 100% rest day. Actually went to bed at 6:45 pm to watch tv until my usual late. Did NOTHING all day, just because I’m retired now and can! Felt tired, really, and listened to my body. Slept in later than usual getting in the extra hours and feel better today for it.

01/17 …..206.8 ….. Yay!!!! Finally, a 6. Thrilled! Also happy that I have not typed in blue this round so far. I hope to keep that up!

My Goal is to get my 10,000 steps in daily (like I used to!)

January 01 – 10,053 steps. I mean business!
January 02 – Traveled. Only 7308 steps.
January 03 – 10,571 steps. Travel plans were cancelled so I fit it in.
January 04 – 7120 steps
January 05 – 10,725 Took down Christmas décor so plenty of activity!
January 06 – 8341 steps. A little short.
January 07 – 6873 I was forced to charge my fitbit in the evening for awhile. I’m not sure how many steps were not recorded but I likely did not hit the 10,000.
January 08 – 6808 steps. Company all evening yesterday (until 1:00 a.m) A friend, but uninvited and unplanned so lots of sitting from 4:00 p.m. on.
January 09 – 9052 steps. Not many in the evening due to unexpected guest that stayed until 11:00 pm. Otherwise, a very active afternoon.
January 10 – 6792 steps. Movie night with a friend. Feet up during late evening. I should have worked harder during the day.
January 11 – 5531 steps. Travel Day, not much movement.
January 12 – 12,123 steps. Worked for them.
January 13 – 8580 Steps. Fell short due to another movie night.
January 14 – 7184 Steps
January 15 – 5545 steps on a rest day.
January 16 – 7244 Finding it difficult in retirement (and dead of slippery winter) to get my 10,000 steps in.

01/12- 134.6. Increase from yesterday, probably due to "sampling" two new (high-salt) recipes I tried out yesterday. Grateful for the slip, though, as it spurred me to search out this support/encouragement/accountability forum! Good luck, everyone!

01/13- 134.2. Got some stretching and indoor walking in yesterday! Goals for today: move for 20 minutes, drink at least 8 glasses of water, and stick to today's pre-tracked food plan.

01/14- 132.4. I met all of yesterday's mini-goals! And my body has been releasing some of the excess salt (and therefore water weight) from a couple of days ago. I got about an hour of walking in, along with some calisthenics. Goals for today: move for 25 minutes, drink at least 8 glasses of water, and stick to today's pre-tracked food plan! Let's have a great day, everyone!

01/15- 132.6. Didn't adhere to the pre-tracked macros, but still ended up within my calories. Walked for an hour, 20 minutes of calisthenics. This (small) bump up would usually make me waiver in my efforts (as silly as that may sound to some), so this morning, I am especially thankful for this group, and especially thankful for the long-term users who have posted previous rounds where they either didn't lose weight or even gained a bit, but kept going and went on to achieve their weight and health goals. Thank you very much!!
Today's goals: move at least 25 minutes, stick to pre-tracked menu, and drink 8 glasses of water.

01/16- 131.2. Made my way back to where I was right before this round started! Stuck to my pre-tracked menu, got in an hour of walking and a few push-ups and squats.
Today's goals: same as yesterday!

01/17- 130.2. Yesterday, I walked for just over an hour and did some squats and push-ups. Had some off-plan food in the morning, but ended within my calorie and macro goals. Today has been busy, but good, so far! That number was encouraging to see!

Goals for this round:
- Get outside with the kids at least once a day
- No snacking after dessert at night
- Continue the beginner plank challenge

1/12 - 131.2 - Hello Round 138! I’m ready for another good set of 10 days. The kids and I played outside for a good chunk of yesterday and I hope to take them for a hike today. I also held my plank for a full minute this morning! It may have been a mistake to try and do it after a 30 minute strength workout, but I managed the full 60 seconds.

1/13 - 130.8 - Wasn’t able to get the kids outside yesterday; it was grey and raining and despite my encouragement they wanted to stay inside. So we painted and read stories and played... they even played well together which is a minor miracle. I played some Beat Saber last night to make up for the lack of a hike - that game is so sneaky! The better you get, the harder you are working and the next thing you know it’s an hour later and you’re shaking and dripping with sweat. Took it easy this morning with just some yoga and my plank challenge.

1/14 - 131.0 - DH and I pulled out a board game and played last night - one we haven’t touched in months. It was great fun, but getting back up to speed meant we stayed up later than we planned. I also ate a serving of Goldfish - I accounted for it in my calories, but I’m not used to eating something so salty that late now. It meant I woke up feeling very tired and heavy from the start this morning. I tried to work it out with some dance, but just wasn’t feeling it. I’m glad I still got a workout in, even if it wasn’t up to my usual calorie burn. I also did my plank - I was trembling for the last 10 seconds but held on to the end.

1/15 - 130.6 - Cold, grey, foggy morning - I really hope it burns off since I feel completely “blah.” We ordered delivery last night - I cut my cheeseburger in half and got fruit as my side (plus snuck a few fries from the kids) which kept me nicely in a calorie deficit. I had some technical difficulties while trying to exercise this morning (which contributed to my bad mood) so it was nice to see the drop on the scale.

1/16 - 131.4 - *wince*. Time of month starting and just a rough day mentally led to way too much snacking yesterday, and this is the result. I need to find something else I can do for a quick mental “pick-me-up” - I don’t want to keep using food as a treat, but my other go-tos that help me feel better (reading, coloring, bubble bath) all require time and solitude. And those are things in very short supply for me. I did HIIT and core workouts this morning, and continued my plank challenge. I’ll try and fit some Beat Saber or a hike in today too to try and make up for yesterday.

1/17 - 132.0 - Wrong way! I know it’s just time of the month affecting the scale. Hopefully I’ll be back to normal by the end of the round. Beautiful spring-like weather here this weekend - went on a 3.5 mile hike with my daughter this afternoon. Didn’t get to exercise this morning - though giving a toddler “horsie rides” is a pretty good core workout - but I did make sure to do my plank.

SW: 160.8 lbs (as of 1/10/2021)
GW: 140
Comment: I've lost 20 lbs since November 2019 using the slow and steady way (also have been intermittent fasting since November 2019, too). I'd like to be at 130 but don't think that is realistic, so I am focusing on 140lbs.
Goals over the next 10 days:
(1) Meet step goal 5/7 days
(2) Drink green tea with honey when my stress levels get high and I want to snack
(3) Eat more nutrient-dense foods instead of processed crap

Day/Weight/Comment
01/12: 162.9 (I am up from 2 days ago because I have been eating more - pure and simple - own it and move on)

01/13: 159.9 (not sure where this drop came from – probably because I had gorged on lots of food with lots of salt on the 11th – I’ll take it!)

01/14: 157.5 (I am almost back to where I was in December - I was at 156.5 and have been stuck there for about 3 months. So, I hope hoping that I keep up with this downward trend and break through the plateau. Focusing on "just 10 days" will hopefully put this into smaller chunks of my journey and not be so overwhelmed with 30 days. I also met my step goal and made really good food choices yesterday).

01/15: 159.6 (I know I have a gain, but I am ok with this. I had a really good day yesterday with food choices; I ate a lot of nutrient dense foods. I got my step goal in as well as a workout. My gain is because I had popcorn and a few slices of cheese last night before I went to bed. This always happens when I do that. I am quite happy with my overall day yesterday).

01/16: 159.5 (I am surprised this is down. Yesterday was a very stressful day and I ate poorly; chips, chips, cheese, chips, you get the point. I also waited to weigh myself; I weighed in the early afternoon in stead of morning after a longer fast, so that could be why I am down. I am sure if I had weighed in the morning, it would have been bad. It’s afternoon now and I have eaten well, hopefully the end of the day will still be good. I want to get back to what I weighed on the 14th……sigh………I did reach my step goal and took a nice walk yesterday. )

01/17: 159.0 (Besides the cookie monster taking me over for about 30 minutes, I had a great eating day. I didn’t get my step goal in, but I did get some exercise in and my heart rate up. I slept well last night and enjoyed some quiet time in my room which has become my sanctuary – I’ve redecorated it over these Covid months to be a place of peace and relaxation. My daughter and I love my room now and avoid “the boys” while they watch tv in the other room…….peace and quiet…..ahhhhhhh……..).

I envy you! I SO wish I would have maintained at <150, but I couldn't/wasn't willing to do it. You are my hero right now. Just wanted you to know. :-) I'd actually be happy to maintain at 155. For me, that was a perfect weight. If I ever get back there, I hope I can channel my Terri Richardson!

JGM10D Round 138

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.)

• 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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Y'all, I took measurements this morning, and I'm so happy! I've lost 3 inches in my waist and 4 inches overall other places. Clothes are definitely more loose, too. Progress! Another hike planned for tomorrow. It's supposed to snow, so we will see if I can actually get to the Appalachian Trail tomorrow. If so, these will be new miles for us--a stretch we've not yet done. Feels so good to be back in the woods!

Do the planning especially for you! You are worth the effort!

Last round was a struggle against snacking, this time the plan is: to stick to the plan!

SW:195.5/88.7
CW: 191.3/86.8
Next goal: 189.5/86 (BMI: 29.8)
Aims:

• Experiment with different strategies to mitigate stress eating.
• Don't restrict KJ further to "make up" for overeating - it just creates more stress!

Day/Weight/Comment

01/12 = 88.7
Another hot day yesterday, I followed the pre-planned menu but snacked off-menu all day too and predictably went over KJ again - these repeated overs are adding up - must figure out a way to cope with the heat better!
Yesterday I had a spicy soup for lunch that felt stabilising and nutritious, maybe a solution is fasting on soup till the evening on hot days? At this point, I'm willing to try just about anything to stop the endless munching
01/13 = 88.4
A cool change yesterday so I didn't get to try out my "Hot day soup fasting" technique but I was able to stick to my menu and limit snacking
Under KJ but only just as we're still making our way through the leftover Christmas cookies -from now on I will only buy/make enough treats For The Day Of and save myself the stress (and cost) of leftover treat foods.
01/14 = 88
Theme for today: 1980's Training montage
No Retreat, No Surrender!
01/15 = 87.5
The scales were indecisive about this sweet .5 drop but I'll take it!
I'm moving bookcases and large furniture around today and need every deterrent I can get not to reward my hard work with sugar.
01/16 = 87
Dessert was stewed rhubarb and cream with some cake yesterday (which had been pre-planned as an extravagance) but if I had known I'd get to 87 today... hope I can hold on to this loss for the rest of the round.

01/17 = 86.8 .Halfway!
I tried some Shirataki noodles last night -put them in a stir fry, (Shirataki are translucent, gelatinous traditional Japanese noodles made from the konjac yam -wiki) it was quite nice and low KJ

01/18 = 86.8
Note to self: trust the process!

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.

**Comments and steps apply to previous day**

Rnd 138 SW 117.5
1/12 118.5 Popeye’s chicken and a biscuit. I had a headache all day yesterday and the spicy chicken helped for awhile. 🤷‍♀️It’s all good.
1/13 118.0 Fasting. Today our baby girl turns 48. She has been feeling not well this week but is continuing to teach from home. Remote school is clearly not working for the children of Las Vegas. Elementary kids who have always had A and B grades are, in many cases, failing. So sad.
1/14 117.5 Still fasting - currently at 38 hours. I feel great. Mammogram today-yippee.
1/15 118.0 My fast lasted 43.5 hours and my macros were good at the end of the day. No TMI x 2 days seems to be the big issue with fasting for me.
1/16 117.0
1/17 117.5 I spent several hours yesterday getting a new phone. I got sidetracked and never read the messages so will catch up tomorrow!
1/11 Plank 1:50
1/12 Minimal walking
1/13 Walked with neighbor. Wore 12# backpack which changes my posture and prevents lower back pain.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 138 (round 70 for me ) I'm in for another round it's obvious to me that 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 given that I was there the last round but the two last days it went a rye! 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!

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/12 133 – starting to come back down again, good controlled day yesterday. 7.9 miles walked /jogged yesterday. Strange day exercisewise; had to stay in for a parcel to be collected anytime between 9 & 5, with hindsight I should have got out at 7, but didn't think of it until later!! So jogged in place for 20 mins midmorning & then after delivery man picked up the parcel – midafternoon – Imanaged to get out for an hours jogging/walking. Still to complete my 5K from 2 rounds ago, hope to make it this week!
01/13 132.2 – 12.12 miles walked yesterday including 25 mins of continuous jogging.
01/14 132.2 - 11.15 miles walked yesterday (no running as rest day)
01/15 131.6 - 9.57 miles walked/jogged yesterday including 25 mins continuous jogging. Happy with how the round is going & getting back close to the lower weight of the last round.



01/16 131.6 – 14.61 miles walked yesterday – didn't plan to walk this far! Dropped car off for service other side of town and walked a meandering route home intending DH to take me to pick it up after work. I had donned my running shoes & had just got out the door when the garage phoned to say the car was ready, spontaneously I changed back into my walking boots and walked back to pick up the car, hence no run yesterday.
01/17 133 – 9.81 miles walked yesterday. I know the uptick is due to high sodium in bacon, prawns & cheeses together with last nights pizza- 96 calories & 15g fat over. Today I'm not going to let that send me off track with a chocolate binge like I did last week!! Numbers'll soon come down again !!
01/18 132.4 – 9.64 miles walked yesterday, numbers coming down as expected.
01/19
01/20
01/21

KEEP SAFE EVERYONE . Keep calm – we're all in this together!

Well done, a NSV which I personally think is better than the numbers on the scale.
Fingers crossed for your hike, sounds fabulous, just exactly what I'd like to be doing today x.
