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.End of round 69 134.2 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
02/21 131 – 10.5 miles walked, good food day; heavy on carbs due to last night's pizza but still within calories.
02/22 131 – 10.69 miles walked yesterday, Sunday with it's roast dinner and all the trimmings kept within calories.
02/23 130.2 - 10.2 miles including 17 mins jogging. Stayed well within calories & macros for the day.
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.
02/26 129.4 – 8.85 miles walked yesterday, kept well within calories & macros.
02/27 130 – 8.66 miles walked yesterday & kept well within calories and macros.
02/28 129.6 – 13.81 miles walked yesterday including walking the 2.98 miles both to and from my vaccine appointment. Ate within calories & macros.
03/01 130.8 – 10.16 miles walked yesterday, ate within calories & macros. See if the numbers are down again tomorrow for the last day of the round!
03/02 129.8 – yes !!! scales are my friend for the final weigh in of the round!! 1.2 pounds lost, 10.67 miles walked yesterday, calories & macros all in credit. Ended round under 130 so I have achieved goal, yeah!!
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!!
02/28 Love the wonderful spring like weather we had over the weekend.
03/02 Start my volunteering for the Covid vaccination tomorrow.
March challenge – average steps for the last 10 days = 21,566, this has been slewed by a couple of particularly high days ( I normally aim for 19K steps ), during the challenge I aim to do an additional 5% which is a daily total of 23,723 – I'll do my best !!
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE . Keep calm – we're all in this together!

February focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:
2021 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 142- 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!
[*] 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.

Conclusions on IF 16/8 (eating between 11 a.m. – 7 p.m.) after approx. 1 month:
What Works:
1. Structure - I like the structure and it keeps me on track, making it easier to make good choices.
2. Sustainability - It feels sustainable and I still have energy to knock out my cardio workouts fasted.
3. Results - I feel leaner and more muscular. In the past month, my measurements decreased by a half inch at almost all points. (And for what it’s worth, within 3-4 days of starting IF, my BIA scale has tracked decreasing body fat and increasing muscle mass percentages.)
What’s Not Working:
1. Hungry Mornings - Some days I’m really hungry in the mornings and I tend to eat more calories than planned early on in my eating window. On these days, I end up micromanaging calories which is not long-term sustainable for me. To address this pitfall, I’ve improved meal prep by having some cooked protein and veg on hand for that first meal.
Conclusion: I’ll stick with this for another month. I’m encouraged by how I feel, how my clothes fit, and my continued ability/desire to exercise fasted. I haven’t found this strategy to be disruptive to family meals, either. I can easily eat two satisfying meals a day plus a snack under most circumstances.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/21 170.4 Scales are at my Dad’s house this morning, so I’m not sure how this compares to yesterday’s weight on my home scales, but I’ll take it, for now! that Emberly and I were able to go spend the weekend with Dad. He had such a great time with her!
02/22 172.0 The indulgences from my weekend with Dad. I’m fine with it, and will work on moving the scale back down this week. I’d really like to be in the 160s, even by just a smidge, by the end of this round, so hopefully that goal will be motivation enough. Got in 7.1-mile bike ride last night. that it’s going to be warmer this week and I’m hoping for some outside garden work and exercise.
02/23 172.0 Really thought I’d have dropped a bit this morning, but no luck. Had a good food day yesterday and got in 3.36 miles of outdoor walks after work!!! Felt so good to be outside again! that it is staying light long enough to walk, even after our early dinner. Don’t know about y’all, but I’m getting a hankering for SPRING!
02/24 172.4 Headed the wrong direction which I halfway expected after losing 6 pounds last round. Time to stop it and go back the other way again. Food wasn’t really bad yesterday, but I ate too much at dinner and was uncomfortable afterwards. I have been doing IF still, at least 16 hours on all but Friday into Saturday when we have a standing breakfast appointment with the grand baby. Sometimes I make it 18 or 19, but I’m consistently over 16. Got in a 1.53 mile walk and a short (3.62 mile) bike session last night. that I was able to walk again during lunch yesterday and that it was daylight when I got to work yesterday morning! Spring is coming!
02/25 172.8 I got nothing! What I’m eating is not reflected in this number. Did 7 miles on the bike last night and played out in the yard on a gorgeous afternoon.
02/26 170.6 Whew! That’s better! that it's jeans day at work on Fridays and the ones I've been wearing are too big now. Down two sizes in my jeans today.
02/27 171.6 I was hungry yesterday! I kept pretty good control, but felt like I needed to graze all day. Ended my eating at 5:30 though, so finally did get satiated. Did 7.2 miles on the bike. that I might get some seeds of cold weather veggie crops in the ground today. It's supposed to rain off and on all day, but I'm hoping to squeeze in some time to fill the pots and plant some seeds. Fingers crossed!
02/28 170.8 Planted some of my garden pots and did well on food choices.
03/01 173 Nibbled on cheese, meat, and crackers way too much yesterday. Back to it today. Really need to do a better job with my tracking; that would help me prevent some of that.
03/02 171.6 Had an excellent food day yesterday and tracked everything. Got in two walks and worked on getting in steps throughout the day. that I get my second Covid-19 shot today! See you in the next round!

03/02 - 144.0 - I'm back, I survived. Surgery went well. Follow up today to take the bandage contacts out. I can see really well. Phone and computer font size turned way up so I don't strain and I have dry eyes I'm doing lubricating drops in every hour for. It was not the most pleasant experience but so far, it's worth it. I can see quite well, though the 5 day old contacts aren't ideal. Hopefully things become clearer/sharper once they come out this afternoon. Pain, a horrible eyedrop aftertaste, and inability to make your own food equals not eating much. Yesterday I could function well and able to eat like normal. Been trying to push water (aiming for 60 oz) which was difficult between my water refill being in the kitchen/dining room (full of windows and super bright) and sleeping as much as possible. Yesterday, I managed estimated 65. Today I'm hoping for 90, but with my 1hr commute to my follow up (and 1hr return) I'm not sure if I'll be able to squeeze it. Plenty of leftovers from last night's dinner for lunches this week, at least. I have a semi-formal event Saturday (socially distanced) so I'm hoping to be on my best behavior to look okay in my dress -- tried it on Wednesday evening when it came in the mail and my bloated (pre-TOM) belly pooch really stole the show. If I can maintain today's physique, I'd be content. Thanks for all the well wishes, positivity, and prayers
Edit: I just realized I had a weight goal... and I far surpassed it. Whoa! Go me (:
Previous Day's Comments02/21 - It'll take a few days for things to level out and I'm alright with it. Still an improvement and I'm happy with that. Fam's land is completely destroyed with limbs and trees down everywhere. Worked on that for 3hrs yesterday and I'm definitely sore today. Going back out today, not sure how much work and how much chill and enjoy we will be doing.
02/22 - Sodium, soreness, and not enough water. Today, hopefully, will be better with more structure from work. I'm realizing how out of shape I am spending 2 days on cleanup. Still a LOT to go. Busy week for me this week:
Monday - call at 8 to see about getting truck in for repairs and rental car squared away (originally last Monday)
Tuesday - Take dog to get spayed (originally last Monday)
Wednesday - Take taxes in to get done (originally this Friday but I'll be out of commission in recovery)
Thursday - get my eyeballs lasered (originally last Thursday).
Whew! With that, Thursday I'll weigh in and won't be back until it's safe/feels ok to look at a computer (Tuesday maybe? I'm hoping, I only requested Monday off next week. But boss understands the situation as he had Lasik a few years ago)
02/23 - Shedding that water from all the sodium. Managed 90oz water yesterday. Only managed 14hr fast, though. Need to up that. Lots going on in evenings so dinners have been way later than I'm used to. Dinner wasn't as late last night so 16hrs IS doable, I just need to push a bit. Pup off to her surgery today. Getting super nervous about mine now.. Last week wasn't so bad because by Tuesday I knew it wouldn't happen, even if the office was open. This week, it is for sure. Eeek. I'm ready for it, but I'm not haha
02/24 - Getting back on track. Fasted 14.5hr (boyfriend made breakfast) and a tad over 90oz water. Dinner was much earlier last night so 16-17hrs very doable. Tomorrow is surgery and I'll have to break my fast before I go in (no anesthesia but the meds they give us are to be taken with food). Struggling with grogginess again this morning. Figured yesterday's was due to the sleeping pill but I didn't take one last night and I'm feeling dead to the world again this morning. Hopefully this feeling sticks around for the weekend. Sleep is the best medicine for recovery and I've been worried insomnia will keep me from getting good healing sleep post-op. I'm really getting nervous now...

Day, Weight, Comment
2/21 – 200.8 – 13,484 steps, 30 min aerobics, 10 min weights yesterday. Results on the scale haven’t been fabulous the last couple of weeks, but I’m definitely feeling stronger. A new interval workout I started about 3-4 weeks ago was nearly impossible at first but relatively easy now. Today we’re going cross-country skiing, so I will be hungry. I think it’s a good trade-off. I will be mindful of what I’m eating today and try to keep the day’s calories down by skipping dinner.
2/22 – 201.6 – 19,686 steps yesterday, cross country skiing. Focusing today on eating mindfully. Today’s plan is fruits and veggies only until dinner. Small portion at dinner.
2/23 – 201.8 – 10,572 steps, 40 min aerobics yesterday. Getting ready to go skiing today and feeling really down about how fat I am. I doubt I’ll be able to do it and I’ll look like a giant hippo out there. Hopefully won’t break the chair lift or my leg. Can’t fit into last season’s pants or jacket. Really don’t want to do this but we already have the ticket. Going to work on my confidence this morning and pushing past all the negative feelings.
2/24 – 201.8 – 10,360 steps, 10 min weights, downhill skiing yesterday. Well, I did it, even though I was convinced I couldn’t and shouldn’t. I didn’t last very long and could only do the easiest runs – and today muscles I didn’t know I had are sore. I’m really too heavy to do too much downhill skiing, but it’s a good motivator to get in shape and I love doing it even if I’m terrible and look like an uncoordinated hippo on the mountain. We plan to go again on Sunday. Tired of this plateau (which is completely of my own making). I’ve had trouble fitting 24-hour fasts in the last couple of weeks. I will plan for one tomorrow and be mindful of my eating today: no eating at the cupboard, no eating at the counter, no trail mix, fruit and veggies only during the day before dinner.
2/25 – 201.4 – 10,547 steps, 30 min aerobics, 10 min weights yesterday. Woo-hoo! Excited to be moving in the right direction finally. Will work on keeping the momentum going today.
2/26 – 198.2 – 19,029 steps, 40 min aerobics yesterday. Down a little because I fasted yesterday. Hope to keep the momentum going! Feeling good because I finally got a job interview – just a phone interview, but it’s a start. I was really feeling defeated. Focus on eating mindfully as always. Off to walk the dogs.
2/27 – 199.8 – 10,200 steps, 20 min aerobics, 10 min weights yesterday. My hope at this point is to at least end this round under 200. Please, self, give me the strength to be disciplined with my eating for the next three days. It’s tough on the weekends when I’m doing challenging outdoor activities that use a lot of energy. Balance, grasshopper. Balance.
2/28 – 199.8 – 12,556 steps yesterday. Feeling a bit under the weather today.
3/01
3/02 – 199.6 – 13,001 steps yesterday. Well, I’ve had the same goal for two rounds now and I guess I’ll make it a third. I’m learning that I really have to be disciplined every day and I need to work on how and when I eat so that I end up with a deficit and am able to lose. Still keeping up my 10,000 step streak and feeling healthier, but it’s hard not to let this plateau get me down. Momentum is so important. Hope to see some results next round.

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?

A solid three hours sleep last night. heading in the right direction! (Not a lot on today, might fit a nap in this afternoon)

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

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
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:

Lots of salt yesterday, I'm still thirsty!

The end of the round already?!
I've conveniently forgotten to do a morning weigh-in
busy, busy with a new job, overeating as I've been arriving home hungry and exhausted in the evenings.
TMI: Stress and dehydration seem to be halting elimination right now, hope it's set to rights asap.

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!
03/01: 213.2
Oooff! Three days in a row! I am happy though. Last night I made an adult decision to choose a turkey wrap in lieu of the frozen pizza offered. Pizza is kryptonite. (even though it has all the food groups in it! Ha!)
03/02: 212.6
Color me happy. 10-day average for this round went down 0.8 and actual weight went down 0.6 from 10 days ago (the last day of the last challenge.)
Still a lot of work to do. See you in 143.

@musicsax So much walking I do (not really much most days) doesn’t count because I’m not moving my arm. I sync my Garmin in the morning and move it to my ankle.3

I went a bit overboard yesterday. No snacks, but big lunch & supper. But it’s ok, I’m striving for averages.
💕 Ever-longer hours of daylight!
2/22 - 183.4 - 1862
2/23 - 183 - 1638
Weird — apparently I didn’t post yesterday, though I remember writing a post and reading many of yours. Hmmm. Maybe I hit Done rather than Save. Whatever! Striving today to lower calories while staying satisfied. More veggies & protein!
💕 Temperature rise — high 30s heading toward the 40s! 🌞
2/24 - 183.2 - 1780
Beautiful sunshiny day, heading to the mid-40s, though there is a sharp wind right now. 🌝 Birds are really active at the nest boxes. 🪶 Spring is getting close! 🌷🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹
💕 Planning the plantings for my new flower beds. Dreaming in color!
2/25 - 182.8 - 1538
That’s better! We had grilled salmon for dinner — yummy & really filling, which kept me satisfied all evening. That’s the trick, methinks!
💕 Watching Mike the cat race around the house like a nut in the morning.
2/26 - 182.8 - 1382
I can’t believe we’re 6 days into this round already. Where does the time go???
💕 Writing at my desk in the very early morning when DH is still asleep. Quiet!
2/27 - 184 - 1786
😳!! Has to be water — yikes. I was a bit over my calorie goal, but even I can’t gain 1.2# of ugly fat in a day. I didn’t notice anything particularly salty yesterday, but I feel puffy (and heavy!) this morning, so.... It’s ok, today’s menu is planned. DH made a big pot of 15-bean soup with veggies, so more of that for supper, and I’m thinking tomato-sprouts-greens-cucumber-hummus sandwich for lunch. Mmmmmm. Also, it’s supposed to get to 50 this afternoon — raining now, but that’s supposed to end, so I’m planning a nice walk. 👟 Happy Saturday, all!
💕 The trickling sound of the aerator in the fish tank.
2/28 - 183 - 1686
Wow — seems like Feb. just started. It’s been a month! 🌘🌗🌖🌕🌒🌓🌔 It’s a rainy, gray morning here, but supposed to be in the high 50sF this afternoon, so yay! As Spring approaches, I’m feeling energized. 💐
💕 Being 7 rows from finishing a blanket I’ve been knitting. 🧶
3/01 - 182.8 - 1631
Happy March, everyone! Yesterday was a good day, though slightly more calories than planned. I finished knitting my blankie, which I started Dec. 31. Colors are a bit more vibrant than they look here, but you get the idea. I wonder how many calories knitting burns.... 🤓
3/02 - 183.2 - 1400
I hate when calories go down but weight pops up. Time lag. Oh well.4 -
