R139 - 167.9
R140 - 168.8
R141 - 166.5
R142 - only a week away from scale abandonment. Will need to track in FL on an old-school scale on gym days for several weeks. Plan to eat and exercise as I have learned and see how I end up on my normal scale in April. I got this.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/21 - 166.5 really thought donating blood yesterday would help drop a couple ounces but I also drank a crazy amount of water to help replenish that pint. Happy the scale held two days with the 6 in the 3rd position in any event!
02/22 - 166.7 Attacking the scale creep today! Tune in tomorrow to see who wins!
02/23 - 166.7 Posturing with the scale creep.
02/24 - 166.4:)
02/25 - 166.2 I credit the sunshine, warmer temps...and my dog who loves her walks
02/26 - 166.2 staying steady. Last day to prepare the scales for my final IL weigh for a while. Would love to see a 5 in the third position tomorrow but that’s a long shot!
02/27 -166.9 Scale creep for the win ugh. On the road in the a.m. Round over for me but I will check in on your progress as I get a chance.

Love for myself: Eat well under Goal, and get my exercise in.
Love for others: Following Covid guidelines to drive down transmission rates

[/

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!😷

February 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.

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

Thank you!! Hopefully this will help to keep me accountable. Need to work on nutrition, and daily exercise to help with mobility —even how small I think it is.

Busy, snacky + not enough sleep will probably result in an uptick at the start of this round but I'm committed to getting back on track and crushing it by the end!

CW: 181.8 / 82.5
Next goal: Lose 6lbs by St Patrick's Day Challenge
Aims: Focus on sleep

• Try to sleep 5 hours a night - time it.

Day/Weight/Comment

02/20 = 82.5
02/21 = 82.8
So many snacks while half asleep yesterday that I couldn't even remember them all *sigh*
A disturbed five hours of sleep last night but that's better than the last few days.
Still, this used to be my normal every day, Baby Steps.
02/22 = DNW
Fox got in with my chicks early, early. We lost one and I spent the morning building better defenses.
Forgot to weigh in.
Sleep? what was that again?
02/23 = 82.2
A solid three hours sleep last night. heading in the right direction! (Not a lot on today, might fit a nap in this afternoon)
82g carbs
02/24 = 82
I had a mega (if light) four-hour nap yesterday afternoon, add to that another four hours last night and I'm feeling confident about tonight, come on 5hrs!
89g carbs
02/25 =82.5
I got seven hours of sleep! and while I've got that "overslept" kinda seedy feeling, I know it'll be doing my body good
126g carbs

02/26 = 82.5 Halfway
Six hours of sleep It would be great if this was a new trend
77g carbs
02/27 = 82.5
Talked myself into taking a maintenance KJ day today but I was probably overreacting, I anticipated that the day was going to be more difficult than it was. Must learn to put more trust in this new way of eating.
Four hours sleep.
Waaaaay more carbs than anyone needs.
02/28 = 82.8
Four hours sleep :tisk:
130+g carbs
Lots of salt yesterday, I'm still thirsty!

02/23- 223.2lb. Wow- my highest weight ever, and I feel at an all time low. My weight has rocketed in the last 18 months, I now need to do something about it. I've lost weight with MFP before, just need the consistency to see it through, as I have got quite a lot to lose. Set my calories to 1700 per day and will log meals the night before. Today I am planning on sticking to my meals, with NO snacking in between. Going to go for a walk to burn some calories, but having to take it easy due to just recovering from COVID.
02/24- 221.4lb Went for a brisk 5K walk yesterday and stuck to my calorie goal. Had a nice evening meal of blackened cod, salsa and smashed avacado- it was really nice. Plan for today is to stick to my calorie goal and make sure I drink enough water.
02/25- 221lb. Stuck to my calorie goal yesterday. Plan for today is to meal prep for the next couple of days, to make sure that I stick to my calories. Aiming to do a HiiT workout today from YouTube just to get me moving again after COVID. Before Christmas I was running 5K 3-5 times per week, so want to slowly build towards that again.
02/26- 221lb. Was within my calories yesterday, didn’t manage any exercise, so I’m going to remedy that today by going on a nice 90 minute walk with my 1 year old (in the pram). Late night snacking continue to be an issue- I need to remember that just because biscuits etc are in the house, doesn’t mean I need to eat them!
02/27- 220.4lb. Went for a very long walk yesterday (13km) which was great. Stuck within my calories and even managed to squeeze a gin and tonic in! Another, albeit shorter, walk today; green smoothie for lunch and then not too sure for dinner tonight. Pleased with weight loss so far, I know it’s all likely to be water weight, but it’s good to see it coming down nonetheless.
02/28- 219.8lb. Another walk yesterday- the weather has been great the last couple of days. Got another one planned for this morning. Shopping day today, excited to fill the cupboards with more healthy stuff!

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 142 (round 74 for me ) I''ve proved I need this to help me keep on track! Thank you @GrandmaJackie you so enrich so many of our lives by keeping the challenge going.

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 ! Long term goal is to get and then stay under 130; then full maintanace starts and dare I say it is in my sights?

Challenge for this round (same as last !) – get back into and stay in 120's? 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! Run 4 x during the 10 days.

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.

02/24 130.2 – 10.45 miles walked yesterday, good healthy food day within calories & macros.
02/25 129.4 – yeah hi! Now to not self sabotage and maintain. 9.28 miles walked yesterday. Really craved chocolate yesterday, weighed out 4 squares, ate it mindfully, savouring the taste then got my knitting out so I wasn't tempted to indulge in more/start to binge.

L0VE FOR MYSELF – be more positive; half glass full not half glass empty.
02/25 loving this weight again! It's the lowest weight for as long as my records go on MFP & Libra (only started that app 27.12.18!). Loving it!!
02/26 got my 1st vaccine yesterday, and pleased to report no side effects; I did sleep solidly for 8 hours 21 (very unusual for me!) only interupted by getting up for the bathroom, don't know if this could be attributed to the potential fatigue that can be a side effect? but I certainly don't/didn't actually feel any fatigue

LOVE FOR OTHERS – Had my assessment to volunteer to help in the Covid vaccination process, all references in, waiting for the call now.
02/22 -Today the road map to getting back out of lockdown is to be announced – waiting with baited breath to see when we can finally see our families, it will be the first time since Christmas Day !!
02/23 – Had a wonderful video call with my 2 year old DGD, her talking has so come on!! 29th March lockdown is to be lifted and we will be able to travel to see DD, DS & families, can't wait to see our DGC, we will only be able to meet up outside, but we will be able to meet!! 5 weeks!!
02/24 – final 3 miles was with an ex-colleague that I have kept in contact with that I met up with.
02/25 – had invite for 1st covid vaccine, appointment is Saturday! Thank you NHS.
02/27 – whilst on my walk yesterday rescued an elderley man from his garden border; his electric wheelchair had gone off the path and he was stuck, he had been there for an hour and a half and others who he called to had ignored him? ! I think maybe they didn't hear him as I called across “Good Morning” and so only heard him because I was looking at him, I like to keep that faith in the human race!! I didn't have the strength to pull him out myself, so phoned DH, who I knew had just finished work and would be on his way home, to come out to us, chatted to him whilst we waited. Bill is 93, he was widowed 37 years ago and has lived in his house for 70 years, is a retiree from Goodyears Tyre Plant which was, until it was closed some years, one of the biggest employers in our town. He had a stroke 2 years ago, has had his electric wheelchair 7 months & had taken some fresh air by going around the block before deciding to take a look at the beautiful daffodils growing in his front border which is how he happened to go off the path!! Oh, and his birthday is the day after mine!!


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

02/21 56, 4 - a lot of mindless overeating at Sunday family dinner + a whole bar of chocolate. Caused the weight gain on Monday morning. Back on track and back focused know with this challenge
02/22 56,6 - gain due to Sunday eating.
02/23 56,25 - had a perfect macro/ eating day yesterday & it already shows. Also starting to pre-plan my days more consistently again, so I don't just leave it to my willpower.
02/24 56,95 - so frustrated. did not post yesterday because of it. I totally binged eating with my roommates.
02/25 56,40 - because of my binge the day before I still binged yesterday. It was a total self-sabotaging 'whatever, it will never work, I can just quit now'-moment. But I don't want to quit. I really don't want to fall down that rabbit hole. But it has been increasingly hard to stay motivated. I planned out my day for today. I will show up better for tomorrows.
02/26 56,40 - Same as yesterday. Calorie & workout wise yesterday was nearly perfect. I did however eat quite a lot of sugar and salt, so maybe that has an effect. I do however feel great in my body today look wise. Motivation is quite high again to finish this 10-days strong!
02/27 56,05 - YEES! This feels so good! I sticked to my calories so well & I also got my 10k steps in (which has been so hard due to my studying schedule). Also I want to say THANK YOU! I just yesterday saw your likes on my post from the 25th. And tbh I felt so good knowing that there are people out there knowing about my struggle and also showing up. So my motivation to keep going is so high!
02/28 56,00 - another super small move, but still! Yesterday I encountered one of my constant struggles with weight loss: I ate my dinner, felt satisfied, full & really loved it, was perfectly within my calories. Then my housemate comes along and eats after me (I cooked for her too, she was still in a meeting). And then I feel obligated to eat more with her. I know she is not very fond of my journey (I guess mainly because she struggles with her weight too) and so I feel like I need to eat more. So that kinda annoyed me a lot, why I always have to adapt my plan for others to feel more comfortable... But I guess due to my workout it still did not get me to go way over my calories.

R142: Lost control and let the weight fly back on. Focus on getting my water and carbs under control this year
Exercise Goal for this round: Bike 2x, Walk 8x, Plank 8x
🎯Mini Goal: 208
I let the winter storm issues really mess up my weight loss success last week. The 205-206 slipped away and I'm back up where I was at the beginning of 2021. Time to turn this boat around.
I need to quit losing the same pounds over and over. If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up.

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
2/21 211.9 Walk 3 miles. 2506 cal, 316 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. My weight has gotten out of control. Today I’m going to focus on just one thing … 80 oz water. Then plan to build from there each day this week.
2/22 211.7 Walk 3 miles. 2045 cal, 136 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Targeting 80 oz water but drank 64 oz water yesterday. Today’s focus low net carbs along with water again.
2/23 211.9 Walk 4 miles. 1778 cal, 45 net carbs, AF. Drank 80 oz water, nailed net carbs. Today I add vitamins on top of getting my 2nd COVID vaccine.
2/24 209.6 Walk 3.4 + .6 miles. 1550 cal, 61 net carbs, AF. Very rough night … headache, arm sore, chills/shivering, achy all over, little to no sleep. Going to try to push through it today and walk the dog but likely will be back in bed trying to sleep later today.
2/25 208.1 Walk .6 miles, gardened a little, 1754 cal, 132 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Slept! Long morning & afternoon naps. Think I’m fully recovered. Weight is also shedding those winter storm pounds.
2/26 208.8 @ fishing camp 🎣 No exercise, long drive to camp, 1937 cal, 107 net carbs, 4 glasses wine. Plan to walk, clean the camp house, clean up the plant damage from the freeze, and maybe if I’m lucky fish this afternoon. Mom is getting her COVID vaccine today so I’ll be here to monitor her, cook, etc this weekend. Remembered to bring my scale to the camp!
2/27 207.9 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked .5 + 3.6 miles, deep cleaned camp inside & out, no fishing. Still need to do some gardening. Mom had no symptoms last night after her vaccine. She is just tired.
2/28 208.2 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, more gardening cleanup and fishing but caught nothing (huge kill of fish and turtles out on the laguna after the winter storm). 2024 cal, 93 net carbs (this included mini blue bell ice cream sandwich & small baked potato), 3 glasses of wine.
3/1 @ fishing camp 🎣
3/2

Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205

Goal for this round is to have a lower average that last round. I have a lot of work to do to get back to where I was last August.

Need to get some form of exercise kick started.

I have a trip planned for May that will be a good inspirational milestone.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Round 142
Month/Day: Exercise / Comment

02/21: 213.4
Was a bit over on calories yesterday, and did a very light session with dumbbells working on range of motion mostly.

02/22: 213.2
Pretty quiet day yesterday. Took a walk around the block since the weather was not unbearable.

02/23: 212.6
This loss despite a moment of weakness last night right before bed. Another see-food event.

02/24: 212.6
A rare repeat weight! Better than going up. Trying to chip away. Having a little skin cancer removed from my neck today, so that should really show up on the scale tomorrow. Ha!

02/25: 212.2
It really makes a difference if I pack my own lunch for work instead of launching myself out the door at lunchtime in search of whatever sounds good. Warning to self: they are building a new Arby’s less than a mile from my office right now.

02/26: 212.2
So, my body likes to prove me wrong. I have now had two sets of identical weigh-ins in a row. Some of you may remember my rant about how I don’t know how some of you do that. I will sit down and shut up now. 😊

02/27: 213.2
Take out Chinese does it every time. Holding water like a bottle.

02/28: 213.2
Third set of identical weigh-ins in a row. Karma.
I am surprised the scale stayed at this level. I cooked T-bones on the grill last nice and DW prepared baked potato, asparagus and sautéed mushrooms. Better than a $$$ meal eating out. That is why it is hard for me to order steak when we eat out because I can do it so much better at home. Such a nice day yesterday!

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.
