You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.Female, 5’3”, 60R140 20200210: 206.6 (-2)
2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug

My goal for 2021 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

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.

02/24 - 146.6 - 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...

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

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!

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.

I went a bit overboard yesterday. No snacks, but big lunch & supper. But it’s ok, I’m striving for averages.

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! 🌷🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹

@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.
