01/12: DNW. Still quarantined while we wait for my daughters test result. My breakfasts are pre-made for the next two weeks. I got a milk steamer for Christmas and I've been making some delish healthy lattes at home. I also worked out last night for the first time in a bit and it felt great to sweat.
01/13 238.7. Nice to see the loss! This was really encouraging. I really love checking in here with you guys!
01/14 DNW. Long day of working at home with kids who have been hit with cabin fever. Pizza and wine for dinner and an early bedtime. Tomorrow is a new day ☀️

Round 138
Please join us! Starting on 01/12 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 138
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

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!End of round 69 134.2 lbs

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.

I had only one workout today but it was a very stressful day, since I had lots of stuff to do for the uni and woke up at 5am. Also had a very late dinner at 9pm, even though it was healthy, I am not happy with the timing.
1/15 - 200.0 lbs / 90.7 kg (-0.4 lbs / -0.2 kg)
I have two workouts on the agenda today, hoping that my weight fluctuations will normalize till the end of the week. Still my scale shows that I've lost loads of BF% but I am pretty sure that the measurements are incorrect. (like 5% in 2 weeks... yeah.. impossible!!) Can't wait till the end of the month to take my body measurements and have more realistic idea of my progress

01/12 176.2 After the swoosh, I was expecting a bump up. Glad I didn’t get one. Had a really good, controlled, food day yesterday and was able to stick with the No Junk Food Challenge.
01/13 175.4 Yay! Back to where I was before Mom’s illness. No Junk Food Challenge = Ate mostly vegetables and protein and that seems to work for me. Snacked on berries.
01/14 174.6 Things are falling back into place now. I’m hitting my stride again, so hopefully I can make some progress now. My IF ended up being 18:6 yesterday because I just wasn’t hungry at work until then. I didn’t set that as a goal. No Junk Food Challenge =
My cravings are much less now and my snacking consists of berries and a mandarin orange primarily.
01/15 174.2 This No Junk Food Challenge hits the mark for me, especially coupled with the exercise challenge and IF. Fasted 16.5 hours and walked in a fasted state. I’ve done a really good job this week with food choices and I think that has made all the difference with my cravings…which are gone—let me knock wood really quick!

JANUARY EXERCISE GOALS:
EXERCISE BIKE—100 miles
WALKING—50 miles (outside or with walking workout videos if weather is bad)
HIKING—at least one hike in the mountains during January
01/12 2 miles with Leslie Sansone. It was COLD, with a rain/snow mix most of the day. I thoroughly enjoy her walking workouts. I should do them more often!
01/13 No formal workout yesterday—last meeting didn’t end until 8:30 pm and I was whooped. Hoping to get in a walk at lunch and a bike ride tonight. Need to be halfway to my goals by the morning of the 16th.
01/14 10-mile bike ride which puts me over the halfway mark for biking (a couple days early). Gotta focus on walking so that goal doesn’t get out of reach. Right now my average is up to right at 2 miles/day left. I can do that easily if I will just carve out the time. So, there’s my motivation!
01/15 4.35 miles of walks and walking videos—2.35 miles walk at work followed by 2 miles with Leslie Sansone

01/12 129 (This is high for me: yesterday was a bad day before I decided to join this challenge, also it’s my TOM. I am so happy to be here with you all. I have gained 10 pounds since the summertime. I am really struggling and I need to turn things around and start exercising more. I am looking at short term goals instead of the full picture so I think this challenge will help. The first half of 2020 I was in my maintenance range. I want to get back.) 1345 calories/3.3 miles walking
01/13 127.6 Happy about the weigh in. I was hoping for a nice drop the first day back on track.
01/14 126.2 Yay, binge weight and TOM weight is coming off. It will probably slow down. Focus is needed.
01/15 127 Up some unfortunately. Not a bad day yesterday but more calories than I should have.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/12 - 144
01/13 - 144.5 - I was wondering when my weekend snacking was going to catch up with me. Sometimes it takes a few days. I've been staying around weight loss calories this week and I hope to get my weight back down a pound before the upcoming weekend.
01/14 - 144 - That's better!
01/15 - 143.5 - I'm very happy I managed to get back to this weight today. I'm going to try to stay closer to weight loss calories this weekend so I don't have a mid week bounce up next week.

01/15 - 147.5 - Really shocked by this. I got hit with the hunger monster bad yesterday. I struggled to make it to 16.5hr fast. Then I ate but was still very hungry. No amount of water could help. So got more food. Finally felt full only to then be told we were having pizza for dinner! Oh I was nervous. I ate until satiated, though could've easily eaten more (yay, good job, me!). Water was a touch over 90oz. Woke up 45 minutes early today, unable to sleep. I have to be at a town 45 minutes away to get our new truck's windows tinted. BF wanted to do it last week so he could go. Unfortunately this week he has way too many meetings and can't. So I'm waking up earlier than I do for work on my day off to drive out there. I'm going to be so tired later, I'm sure. Dinner is being provided by our friend so I'm going to try my best to fast long enough it will offset any madness tonight.

Previous Day's Comments01/12 - Eggrolls and wine? I'm not at all sure. Some type of (homemade) asian soup with meatballs and bok choy. Egg rolls and (homemade) fried tofu with peanut sauce. Definitely lack of sleep. Stayed up to watch Steelers-Browns game Sunday night and stayed up to watch college football championship last night. I'm feeling it today. Fasted 19hrs yesterday. 75oz water. Meetings upon meetings upon meetings today and I just want to sleep right now. Bleh. Hopefully I can manage a good wake up stretch here shortly.
EDIT: Wondering if eating later is also a cause - typically I like to be at 11-12+hrs into fasting when I weigh, but I also had a later dinner so I was only at 8.75hrs fasting when I stepped on the scale this morning. Don't want to postpone weigh in since I want to wake up with a nice glass of water but it could have impact? Also thinking the future when I have to commute again - I'll be up and moving at 4-430am and dinner will be at probably closer to 730-8pm by the time I get home. Will be interesting to see how that works out with daily weighing. Especially since weekends will be VERY different as I can sleep in! Just a mindless thought as I wait for my meeting to start. Thoughts, anyone?
01/13 - Shocked at this. Homemade au gratin potatoes last night (a favorite) and that has quite a bit of dairy to it which typically causes bloating for a few days. Probably see it tomorrow. Otherwise had steak, roasted carrots, and some cooked cabbage (don't know how she makes it, but its DELICIOUS). 90oz water. Fasted 16hrs which I'm super proud of since I'm not used to fasting until past noon anymore. Need to keep pushing myself through mini hunger pains like I did. They passed quickly, luckily. Maybe that's why I'm down, too? Lunch was small - small bowl of leftover soup, a blueberry waffle, and a fig newton for a "dessert". Did some serious leg workout and boy am I sore in the thighs today! Trying to rebuild my legs/booty again - been to sedentary for too long. Now that I think about it- surprised I'm not up from DOMS, either.
01/14 - I'm quite happy with maintaining after the last few days of major bounces. Lunch was a salad with my spinach (about to go bad), croutons, leftover steak, and strawberry poppyseed greek yogurt dressing with a small bowl of mixed fruit. Dinner was salmon with this whiskey glaze I thought would be delightful (it was) and FamWife made roasted sweet potatoes (yum, been craving those) and tried a new salad - cucumber avocado with a dressing. The dressing was also supposed to be used for the salmon, but we decided the whiskey glaze I bought would be better. It was wonderful! Water was 90oz on the dot. Fasted 17.5hrs. Tad bit tired though - been sleeping so hard the last couple nights and these last two mornings my alarm pulled me out of a dream. Those are the days I really struggle to get moving because I'm so groggy being jolted awake from deep sleep. Hopefully, like yesterday, a nice morning stretch here in a bit will wake me up a bit.

01/11 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Need to do yoga and stop procrastinating. Dedicated time was short, but I managed it after dinner. Getting horrible about putting it off and then only getting short stretches in.

So, based on my behavior in round 137, I want to get back to the habits of pre-tracking and planning that were working so well for me from Oct 1 through X-mas. Husband being out of town for most of last round made me revert to not planning, since it is “only me”. That behavior then snow balls.
Goals for round 138 are to again try to and lose 1 more lb again. 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,
- Not gain over Thanksgiving,
- Get below 135
- Lose min 2 lb during December
- Walk/run to Sombrero B for sunrise photo
- Maintain losses of time in Florida
- Maintain weight for round 136 which included Xmas as well as New Years
- lost the 1 token pound in round 137, but is was what I hoped for, so all good, right?

Round 138 – starting weight 131.0
1/12 – 130.8 Yesterday was all pre-tracked, but I did make slight tweaks as the day went on. Dairy was good, exercise was good. Feels good to be in “control” again. Today was pre-tracked yesterday and I just finished planning tomorrow and parts of Thursday.
1/13 – 130.0 Pre-tracking again is being helpful. Today 90+% filled in and same for tomorrow. Remaining 10% allow for a little spontaneity. Yesterday was lighter on exercise, but it matched where my head was at. Scale did not seem to mind. Today is also my second to last day as "Nanny". Tomorrow, I have an oral surgeon consult (dental implant?) and I will have broken our "bubble", then Hubby comes home from Florida Saturday, so we will be quarantining together until his negative test next week. Following weekend (23rd) we hope to celebrate grandson's first birthday a week early as starting on the 27th, hubby and I have to deal with movers, contractors and delivery people for my MIL's new condo and we are presumed contaminated again. COVID is certainly making regular life a challenge.
1/14 – 129.8 As mentioned yesterday, today was pre-tracked already, but tomorrow’s is not. My babysitting is shifted today to an earlier set of hours due to my afternoon oral surgeon consult. Leaving the house in 35 min and I am still in PJ’s – overslept. I really should start setting alarms. Will be home earlier as well. I will get on planning and tracking for tomorrow and the next few days.
1/15 – 129.0 ok, so the scale says that I am at THAT number and I need to mentally sort out what to do.
I think first step is to make sure it is real and sticks and I would likely give it a week to check that. After that, I have pros and cons. Pros are clothing that I have fit again, 129 is a logical weight for me and a few years ago, I did maintain weight between 128 and 131 for a long period of time. Cons are that waist is still “thick” (30”) but not sure how much is menopause related and how much can be fought, I also still have a bit more pooch under by broken post-pregnancy abdominal skim and above my double surgery scars. At DD’s wedding, May 2017, I was accidentally between 124 and 126 (dress ended up not fitting right), but I remember how much flatter the broken skin was and how the pooch was actually feeling hollow at time. Anyhow, just what’s going through my mind. Let’s see how this round closes out and if this sticks.........ARGH, just noticed that I have not pre-tracked today as I planned!

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.
Have a great day, everyone!9 -

I’m not sure what happened to yesterday — it was morning, and then poof! bedtime. I’m really enjoying my Tenpercent Happier meditation challenge (free) and decided to get an annual membership (on sale @ 40% off). Today I’m diving into the Intuitive Eating meditation class as well as the challenge — I got a lot out of the book Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Triobole. Yesterday DH wanted to order from a lovely local Italian restaurant. Normally, I’d have gotten a high-calorie something with pasta, but I thought about what I really wanted and ordered a beautiful, satisfying salad of greens, Gorgonzola, and grilled chicken with raspberry-olive oil dressing, and a cup of minestrone. I think DH was a little jealous! 😁 I’ve also started researching bikes — I miss my bike (I sold it a few years ago when I was having some balance issues — turned out to be inflammation). We have many miles of beautiful walking & bike trails here, and every time I walk them, I think about riding, too. Between that and flower catalogs, I’m having happy fantasies! Hoping you’re all finding bits of joy.

Woopsie! DH made his famous (!) chicken penne Alfredo last night, and I didn’t realize that was the plan when I had a healthy but hefty lunch. In the spirit of intuitive eating, I enjoyed both and moved on. Today I’m craving salad with canned salmon and a walk — supposed to be 40F this afternoon! I’m enjoying my meditation classes/sessions a lot. Last night I used one of the sleep meditations and wow, I fell asleep before the end of the session and slept really well (which I haven’t been due to thinking and pain, which is worse at night). All good.

A bit more than I’d planned, but not terrible, and I went for a lovely 3-mile walk in the afternoon. Hope to do the same today. Wishing you well!

Yesterday was lovely — mid-40s and sunny, so I got a nice walk in. This morning is cold with “wintry mix.” But it is January in the American MidwestI feel a bit puffy this morning — we had gyros yesterday. I ate just the meat, veggies, and tzatziki, but I think it was a tad salty. I also splurged on a cranberry-orange muffin my neighbor brought over. I met my meditation goal yesterday. Planning a light food day today plus some writing, reading, knitting, meditating, and who knows? Maybe housework? Nah! ❄️🥗🧘🏻🍳🧑🏻💻🧶📖❄️

I am back. 2020 was just a mess for me. In January I was at 135 and then the pandemic hit. I have to come to the conclusion 135 is just to low for me. It takes a ton of consistency and discipline for me to stay at that weight and even 1 day of indulging I can put 5 pounds on. It is heart breaking and destroys my confidence. I am shooting for 145-149 this time and I think that is way more sustainable for my lifestyle. I actually started last Monday at 174.7 (ouch I can't believe I just typed that), but weighed in today at 173.0. So It's better and I am trying to just take it a day at a time.
01/12- 173.0 Today I am working from home to help home school the kids. These are the hard days for me, because I am right next to the fridge all day long. We have not had our kids in school since last March, so working from home a couple of days a week and then the office the other days is the solution for right now.
01/13 - 171.8 Nice, finally a nice little drop. I have been back on the wagon for about 3 weeks now and this is the first nice big drop I have seen. At work today and have my meals planned and will stick to it.
01/14 - 169.8 I am not hating this weight, lol. I am sure it will bounce back up tomorrow as I did not eat dinner last night and only ate a small lunch. I will eat normal today with food that I have all planned out.
01/15 - 171.2 I knew it would bounce up today, so I am completely ok with that. Weigh in day is tomorrow and would love to be at 170.00 something. My happy scale app shows a loss of 1.1 this week, so extremely happy with that. All in all I think it's been a good week. Now I just have to get through the weekend. I am just hoping to be in the 160's by the end of the month.

@CamandJarvis I noticed that my belly wanted food 17 hours into my fast. Once I got past that hump it was clear sailing. I intended 42 hrs but went 43.5 and only ate a little then because I had an appointment. I should have skipped dinner-I really wasn’t hungry. Ate some shrimp and cauliflower. Ate salt later because I had a neck ache.
@SModa61 I’ve had a “spare tire” for as long as I can remember but when I started this WOE, it deflated fairly rapidly. Now I’m hoping to reduce some of the subQ fat and loose skin through longer fasts.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.

1/12 118.5 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.

Day, Weight, Comment
1/11 – 205.2 – I fasted yesterday, so I expect this weight will increase tomorrow. 15,000 steps, 15 mins aerobics. I’d like to reduce time mindlessly scrolling on my phone. I also need to get into the habit of lifting weights for at least a few minutes most days to strengthen my upper body.
1/12 – 207 – 12,800 steps, 20 mins aerobics yesterday. I expected my weight to bounce up, but I was hoping it would be more like a pound rather than 2 pounds. Still struggling with too much grazing during the day, standing at the cupboard mindlessly snacking, eating the whole bowl of trail mix while scrolling on my phone. Going to really try to focus on controlling what I put in my mouth today. Today’s focus: STAY AWAY FROM THE SNACK BOWL. SIT DOWN TO EAT. EAT FRUIT AND VEGGIES INSTEAD OF NUTS AND CRACKERS. I also need to start lifting weights again. I just do simple dumbbells at home and I actually like it, but for some reason I’m avoiding it lately, possibly because I’m spending so much time on other exercise. I have a tendency sometimes to avoid doing things that are good for me and I enjoy for some bizarre reason! Still doing well with steps and keeping a trend of YouTube workouts going. I am starting to look forward to the Sunday fast and need a more formal plan for calorie control during the week – limiting my eating to smaller windows of time. I’d been trying to fast on Wednesdays, but we’re getting meal kits delivered and it just doesn’t work with the schedule we’re on. Need to work out a better plan.
1/13 – 207.2 – 13,715 steps, 50 min aerobics, 10 min weights. Depressing results on the scale, but yesterday was better in terms of snacking. Daily weigh-ins are a good motivator/wake-up call to keep me focused. Continue to focus today on being mindful of what I’m eating; avoiding eating while standing, walking, reading, watching TV, resisting the kitten trail mix bowl.
1/14 – 206.6 – 14,442 steps, 30 min aerobics. At least I’m moving in the right direction! Will keep being mindful of what I’m eating. Trying Noom and a good “psych tip” today was to expand my food options rather than always looking at this process as taking things away. I’ve done this intuitively, especially when I tried a plant-based diet for a while, but I’ll do it more consciously now. Meal kits from Blue Apron are a great way to get the “additive” effect or reward feeling and mix up the menu with healthy options that are new. Check. Doing that. Last week tried “Lesser Evil Grain Free Paleo Puffs – No-Cheese Cheesiness” as a replacement for Cheetos. So freaking good! And they actually fill you up (though costly). Going to Costco next week and will go wild with some new fruit or veggie and/or healthy salty snack. Today also going to write out an eating/fasting schedule that will work with my spring work schedule so I can get the habit started before the semester is in full swing.
1/15 – 205.8 – 13,582 steps, 50 min aerobics. Woo-hoo! Let’s keep up the progress. Today: WEIGHTS, prepare veggies for snacking. Wake up. Bad sleep last night.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/12 194.0 First time in a long time I did not walk for lunch. I got in 15 minute last night to make up for it.
01/13 192.9 Wow Hard work paying off. I went to a restaurant yesterday and the calories is so high and half my plate was vegetables. January is such heavy birthday month. Five so far with cousins, sisters and friends, not to mention the twins are turning 4 on the 26th of January.
01/14 194.0 Not surprised to see a fluctuation but still trying…
01/15 193.3 13831 steps 1995 calories keep trudging along. I have small birthday get together today. I am making buffalo chicken and shrimp pasta.

R138 16:8 IF. Lose a pound. Move more, stress less. End up in the 160's, even if it is 169.9!
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.

@quiltingjaine Thank you for your insights. As for Keto, I tried it and liked it, but it was the last straw for my problematic digestive system and I ended up with a hemorrhoidectomy in Dec 2018. Even last week, where I was eating "correctly" from a digestive point of view, I got constipated and risked damaging myself again. It was pretty nerve-racking as that is only the second time since the surgery that I have had an issue, and the first time had a clear cause of trying a single day of iron supplement. Unless I solve my system, diets like Keto cannot be in my future. As for IM, it's intriguing. I would have to figure out how to have my diary hit all my goals. But worth thinking about. Sorry if that was TMI. :P5

@quiltingjaine Interested in the benefit you get from longer fasts. Sounds like reduced bloating and fat reduction more so than pounds, right? So do you only drink water during the fast periods?3
