    OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
    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.

    BUT, because the round 141 results essentially show a “net zero”, I need to assess which is more accurate, the results of each single round or the results of the combined rounds.

    In my experience, both the past year of holding within 2 pounds (albeit higher than I want) and before, when I lost 60#, and on a lot of reading, I believe that “things” need a period of time — weeks or even longer — to be really steady. There’s a time lag as our bodies figure out what the heck we’re up to. I think your slow adds are a good approach, but it might be beneficial to track both the per-round data and a longer term. But everyone is different, as we know!

    @SouthWestLondon how are you measuring your calories out? I wear a heart rate monitor when I go to the gym.

    @SouthWestLondon Thank you! I wear my Garmin watch in my ankle because that’s a more accurate measure of steps than on my wrist. My original tracker (from my retirement association) clipped on my shoe. I don’t swing my arms “normally” when I walk so this is more accurate for me.

    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.

    02/21 …..205.0 ….. I made horrible choices yesterday eating on the grab from within my home. Calories were okay but the carbs were through the roof and contained very little nutritional value. I hope to make better choices today. I definitely need more protein today. Thankful for no weight gain.

    02/01 I am grateful for my ability to retire early at age 60. I am beginning to finally feel better rested and more in control of my life. Owning 2 motels and cabins left me working 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, with never a day off. The businesses were located on my home property so there was never any rest, peace or privacy. The number of employees – 1. Just me and the occasional handyman I would hire if the job was above my skill set. What will I do for the rest of my life? As a widow, travel is a bit scary. I am not sure yet. But hopefully I will have lots of time to figure it out.

    02/02 I love my new house. It is old and smoky and needs lots of updating and work but I love the possibilities. Mostly I love that it allows me to have a separate apartment in the basement for my adult disabled son. I love we can work harder on independence for him.

    02/03 I love the frontline workers who allow me to shelter safely in my home while they are out on the frontlines battling this virus. Thank you to each and everyone of them. I hope you feel the love and respect.

    02/04 I love my children and grandchildren. Without them, life would be meaningless. Thank you to God for placing them in my life.

    02/05 I love my 3 new squirrel friends. All black squirrels, so shiny and beautiful. One is a little piggy and doesn’t want the other 2 to eat so I will have to work on that. I call him Ziffel (after Arnold the pig from Green Acres). Squirrel #2 is really skinny because Ziffel doesn’t share very often. I call him Green Bean (after the skinny Hee Haw character). # 3 only comes around about 2 times a week. He is always frustrated by Ziffel and always gets the shortest end of the stick. I call him Darren Stevens (after the hubby in Bewitched). I guess the names I have chosen is showing my age! In any case, I love all 3 of them.

    02/06 I love chocolate. There is no getting around that. I am constantly trying to find ways to satisfy that craving without tipping the boat over during my journey. There it is. I honestly LOVE chocolate.

    02/07 I love the memories I have with all my loved ones, especially those that have passed. Some memories are becoming fleeting for me, others rise to the surface with incidents’ that I long ago thought I had forgotten. Memories with my brothers & sisters. My cousins. My school friends. My past pets. I love that, through memories, they are with me always.

    02/08 I love when I can make a difference in someone’s life. No matter how big or small.

    02/09 I love every pet I’ve ever owned. I am thankful that since I have been out on my own (1980) I have cremated every doggy and kitty. They are now able to move with me. I love they are here with me in my new home.

    02/10 I love sleep. It is hard for me to sleep as long as I would like. I am usually a 4 hour girl. In retirement I have started getting more 5 hour nights and am slipping back down to the 3 and 4 hour nights less often. I am trying hard to sleep longer but it just doesn’t seem to come for me. However, I do love sleep. The less I get, the more precious it is to me.

However, I do love sleep. The less I get, the more precious it is to me.

    02/11 I love plants & flowers. It will be exciting what I can do with the landscape in my new home. Planting in my area of Michigan (zone 4) usually can’t begin until the end of Mary or beginning of June so I impatiently wait.

    02/12 I love no alarm clock days. Today was not one of them but I know that today is the day that the Lord hath made, so I will be glad and rejoice in it.

    02/13 I love a good book or movie and a hot cup of tea in the evening with no disruptions. I don’t get it very often, so when I do, it is so so appreciated and enjoyed.

    02/14 Self Love: I love my strength and determination as a woman. I really feel I have made my own mark on the world in my professional life and my personal one too. My start in life was meager and difficult. I love that I overcame so much and reached such wonderful goals. I need to apply the same strength to my weight.

    02/15 I love my morning coffee and appreciate it when no one tries to talk to me until I get in at least one sip.

    02/16 I love a good hike in our beautiful national forest that is nearby. It is very rustic and follows the river. So beautiful that I just want to hug every tree and thank them for being a part of my life. I can’t wait for the snow and ice to melt, the birds to start chirping and the trails to be safe again. Spring can’t come soon enough!

    02/17 I love MFP for offering this forum to us. I love “Just give me 10 days” especially. I love the support that you all bring to my life. The ideas. The remedies. The hope for progress and health in my own life. I love how open and honest you share your journeys, but also your struggles and triumphs on many things in your life. Thank you to all of you for the caring and the sharing!

    02/18 I love my memories. The ability to go back and pull your lost loved ones back into your life, even for a moment, is a true gift from God.

    02/19 I love my friends who never give up on me, even when my time is so restricted.

    02/20 I love travel and I hope someday to do it again with someone special that may come into my life.

    02/21 I love “Just give me 10 days.” Thank you grandma Jackie and all the participants. From you, I have learned so much!
