@jca12345 During the last year many have come and gone and come back again. We’re glad you have returned!
@UTMom81 B vitamins can be upsetting to an empty tummy. I keep mine in front of the coffee pot - hard to ignore.
As far as a challenge, I think it’s great to have the challenge within a challenge. Just because it’s there doesn’t mean I have to participate.4 -
@CamandJarvis thinking of you. Eye surgery was scary to me because we only have one pair. Our daughter that LASIK many years ago. My DH and I have both had cataract surgery. Sending prayers!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.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/20 …..205.0 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
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.
02/22 …..207.2 ….. It was only ice cream and I skipped a meal for it! Yo-Yo. Disgusted! Now I will spend this entire round just trying to get back to starting weight. Why, oh why, oh why????
02/23 …..207.2 ….. I got nothing.
02/24 …..207.5 ….. Chinese food yesterday. I will have the leftovers today. I have taught myself to cut the meal into two meals, but sodium is sodium. We are in the heaviest part of winter right now. I can’t wait until May when it is no longer slippery and I can get outside! I miss taking my walks and hiking when I have a companion that will go (for safety). Come on Spring!

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!
02/22 I love bright beautiful flowers in the garden, fragrant or not.
02/23 I love a beautiful sunset in the evening. The kind with all the beautiful pink hydrogen mixed with the golden orange of the sun. It speaks to me and assures me that all is well and that everything is going to be okay. God is the Artist of it all.
02/24 I love finding a good bargain, new or used. It's those unexpected finds made affordable that usually make a house a home!

Round 142
Age: 39
Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 128.2
GW: 125
GW for this round: 126.5
Round 135 (10): 136.6 to 133.6 (-3.0 lbs)
Round 136 (11): 133.6 to 133.2 (-0.4 lbs)
Round 137 (12): 133.2 to 131.8 (-1.4 lbs)
Round 138 (13): 131.8 to 130.2 (-1.6 lbs)
Round 139 (14): 130.2 to 128.8 (-1.4 lbs)
Round 140 (15): 128.8 to 127.4 (-1.4 lbs)
Round 141 (16): 127.4 to 128.2 (+0.8 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- No excuses - ONE maintenance day (having our pod-family over tomorrow for a mini-party for my son). I will keep a calorie deficit all other days this round.
- Addendum to the first goal: improve my calorie tracking and weighing. No more fudging and estimating or leaving anything off.
- Add an evening snack to my meal plan to prevent late-night binges.
2/21 - 127.2 - Where was this number yesterday when I ended the last round? 😂. Glad to get back on track - hopefully I can keep going down from here. Today is my only allowed “maintenance” day this round - we are having the other family in our pod over for a backyard bbq as a little birthday party. I’m going to try and stay in a calorie deficit for the day, but I’m ok with going up to maintenance. Yesterday’s calories were 1764 (my goal is 1700) - I’m going to start recording my calories for the prior day here to help keep me accountable.
2/22 - 127.0 - 2,111 total calories yesterday. High, but my Apple Watch had me at 2,213 for the day so I did manage to stay at maintenance. I tried to be as honest as I could with recording what I ate, though I didn’t weigh my food during the party. Now I’ve had my one day off - 500+ calorie deficit is my aim for every day the rest of the round.
2/23 - 127.2 - 1,789 calories yesterday - a little higher than I wanted, but I also took the kids to the park (a 1.5 mile round trip) and we played a lot of chase and were kicking the soccer ball around so my active calories were a little higher than usual too. Unrelated to weight loss - I got my daughter registered for kindergarten and my son signed up for a preschool program yesterday! I am just hoping so so hard that our area will be in a place where it is safe for them to go to school in-person this fall. It will help both of them so much (and I’ve got to admit that even just 2 hours twice a week completely kid-free sounds WONDERFUL to me!)
2/24 - 126.4 - 1704 calories - Ok, now I’m finally feeling back on track. Going by past drops, I’ll probably go back up a bit the next day or two, but hopefully I can keep the overall downward trend. I’m trying to decide now whether I want to make 120 my new goal weight after 125, or if I want to switch to eating at maintenance and increasing my strength training to focus more on building/toning.

Previous days
02/21 Did not weigh, drank water already this morning. We ended up getting Indian take out food last night. I got a chicken curry dish with naan. Not sure at all what the count was for it but it was definitely worth it to have delicious Indian food. I can’t remember the last time we got Indian take out! I have a healthy breakfast/lunch planned and will be making braised short ribs for dinner tonight with roasted veggies to go with it.
02/22 117.4 Oh how I love water and it’s fluctuations in my body 😊. Oh well, I know I didn’t gain a true 2 lbs over two days, so that’s a good thing. Food has been solid today and was able to squeeze in a 20 minute spin bike ride too. [/spoiler]
02/23 116.6
02/24 115.8 Very happy to be maintaining in this range. Work has been crazy again this week. Food has been solid though. I made tacos last night for dinner with chorizo meat and they came out yummy. My husband also thought they were really good, so that was nice 😊. Breakfast today was the protein chocolate lava cake because I needed a chocolate fix. I also love how filling it is with all the fiber/protein/and healthy fat combo. Lunch today is left over tacos because I have to run to my in laws to meet the plumber and contractor for the renovations, so dinner will be something light like toast when I get home tonight.
I got myself a bullet journal to help me manage some stress & to give myself a new hobby on the weekends. I bought myself some new markers and can’t wait to dive into it this weekend! I think it’ll help me reflect on my day and prevent me from staring at my phone before bed.

02/21 I love lazy Sunday mornings. I plan to do a 30 minute spin bike ride and some yoga at some point.
02/22 So random but I love smoothies, especially one that has been perfected with the right balance of sweet/tart/frozen smooth goodness. Did a 40 minute yoga video and 20 miunte spin bike ride today.
02/23 Yoga and 20n minute spin bike ride.
02/24 I love the spin instructor who I follow on Playbook. She uploads the most fun rides! Today I did an ABBA themed 20 minute bike ride that was so awesome! I also did a wake up vinyasa flow this morning for about 20 minutes.

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

Round 142 – starting weight 125.0
2/21 – 124.2 Haha, exact same way that I began round 142.
2/22 – 123.6 If I see this number again tomorrow, I will be increasing my calories by 50 calories/day. The alternate is to lower my exercise, but I am not sure I am ready to do that as my goal was to not only lose weight, but to be incorporating regular exercise into my life for better health.
2/23 – 124.4 So today has a little uptick, but actually makes sense to me. Last night was a dinner of gnocchi. I have found over the years that pasta, even eaten is the right proportions, produces a short term weight gain for me. Won’t raise daily calories just yet. We’ll see what I see tomorrow.

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

Good Morning!
First round, total newbie on the myfitnesspal community. On the final push to lose 3 more kgs, to get to my absolute goal weight. It seems so close and but also sooo far at the same time.
SW: 56,6kg
GW:55,6
Day/Weight/Comment
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.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/21 - 201.2. Had a good day yesterday - went for a 15km walk, had a high rate of burn, and kept calories well under my limit even with a takeaway for dinner and some high calorie biscuits as snacks.
02/22 - 202.6. I always seem to get a bit of a bounce on a Monday after a the weekend. Sunday was good - in theory I could have eaten 4000 cals to stay under my target daily average, but stuck to 2150 calories.
02/23 - 202.8 - yesterday was an ok day. Under calories but not terribly active.
02/24 - 202.4 - well under calorie target yesterday, and had a decent walk. Scales were slightly all over the place this morning. At one point they went up to 203.6, but when I got 202.4 I banked it and logged it
200lbs by next Tuesday feeling a bit unlikely now.
02/25 - 201.6 - another good day yesterday in terms of CICO. But recognising a pattern here: I do well on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays; I do ok on Wednesdays and Sundays; and I do poorly on Mondays. Probably because at weekends I allow myself to drink Diet Coke and eat saltier foods, so the effects of that are being felt by Monday.

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.

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.

02/25 - 146.6 - Of course, day of surgery TOM would arrive. I'm feeling a bit bloated, but otherwise fine so hopefully it won't add to any discomfort. I think I'm all ready but I'm definitely nervous right now. Had some trouble sleeping because of it, but that's quite normal for me. Hopefully it will help me take a good post op nap. I'll try to be back for the last day of the round, if at all possible. Thank you for all the love and support!

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...
