SW:223.2lb
GW: 178lb
CW: 216.4lb
Hoping to get down to 214lb during this 10 day cycle.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/13- 217.8lb! Lots of snacking, albeit on ‘healthy’ food and wine have contribute to this. I know it’s not a real gain and will come down in the next few days with an increase in me drinking water. I’ve been for a lovely 10km walk today and will do another one tomorrow. I’m not hungry today, so I’m listening to my body (for a change) and will keep the calories low.
03/14- 218lb. Was well under with my calories yesterday, only ate 1400 plus did a 2 hour walk. Plenty of water today and a nice walk should start to see the scales go back down. Although I love weighing each day and completely understand why weight fluctuates so much, it does take a while to truly make peace with the fact that just because you were well under the day before doesn’t necessarily mean a drop on weight the next day. Looking back at previous weigh ins, most of my ‘drops’ appear to be mid-week, after my body has had chance to flush out excess water from the weekends workouts.
03/15- 216.6lb . Happy to be down, but would like a couple of days in this direction! Great NSV today, came home knackered from work, headache and generally not feeling great. Pushed myself to go on a walk with my little boy- even if it was just a 5km walk.
03/16- 215.6lb. Happy to see it go down again. Got a long day at work, so I’ve come prepared, packed a healthy lunch plus a healthy snack for early evening. Hopefully this will leave me feeling satiated until I get home and not cause a hungry binge!!! Feeling a lot better in myself, despite realising just how far I’ve got to go to get near my goal weight. Need to stop thinking about a date for when I want to have hit it, just focus on the process of being healthy and getting fitter. Cannot wait for the gyms to reopen in the UK!!!
03/17- 214.6lb. Another pound lost on the scales!! All calories and meals are planned for today and I’m going to stick to them. Got a massive cooking session tonight after work to make sure that my meals are prepped for the rest of the working week.
03/18- 215.8lb. And so the ever more predictable pattern continues. A drop only seems to appear on the scales on a Mon-Weds, then all other days are either slight increases or my weight stays the same.
03/19- 215.2lb.
03/20- DNW. Went over my calories significantly yesterday, lots of wine and sugary things. It would be highly demotivating to see the scales today! Lots of water, a long walk and a pre-planned day of meals should help. Back to weighing in tomorrow!
03/21- 215.8lb. Two long walks this weekend, plenty of water and eating clean. I’m hoping for a good loss on the scale soon.
03/22- 215.8lb. Not a great end to the 10 days, but I know the scales will reflect my hard work soon. 0.6lb loss this 10 days.

Increase daily steps to 8000

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!😷

March 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!

Day/Weight/Comment

03/14 129.6 – 10.35 miles walked yesterday, pizza night within calories, but carbs heavy. Happy Mothers Day to all Mom's out there.
03/15 129.6 – 9.47 miles walked yesterday, stayed within calories & all macros. Had lovely video calls 03/13 128.8 – WOWEEEE!! Couldn't quite believe this, got on & off 4 times, even picked the scales up & put them down again before the last weigh in!! but every time was exactly the same. If the scales are my best buddy this am, the weather definately was not yesterday, heavy rain meant I was forced to use the car rather than walk to volunteer session at vaccine centre & of course as soon as I got there it stopped

and the sun came out . Managed to get 9.53 miles in afterwards. Excellent healthy food day.with DD, DS & DGC and lovely delivered flowers.
03/16 129.6 – 13.21 miles walked yesterday, had a little chocolate, but kept within calories & macros.
03/17 131.4 (uhh!) 12.4 miles walked yesterday, went overboard with eating

determined to stay on track today & loads of water. Happy St. Paddy's Day to all my Irish friends.
03/18 131 – 11.74 miles walked yesterday, back on track eating wise, all calories & macros in green.
03/19 130.2 - 12.08 miles walked yesterday & a really good on track eating day well in calories & macros.

03/20 129.6 – 2 days to keep under that 130. 13.32 miles walked yesterday – trying hard to get that step average back up to 23,723, it's certainly challenging!! Food well on track & within calories & macros.
03/21 129.6 – 12.69 miles walked yesterday, although it was pizza night, just went slightly over on calories,but a high carb day. First day of spring, the equinox and a lovely day, trees are budding, plants shooting up and birds busy building nests and singing.
03/22 130.2 – there's yesterdays sodium from bacon & mussels, maybe should have made different choices for the penultimate day of the round? 13.72 miles walked, within calories. 6/10 days this challenge I've achieved my goal of <130 pounds, will try for 10/10 next round – see you all there!
03/23 -129.6 – can't see the new challenge? Hope @GrandmaJackie is ok. I've added yesterday on to the bottom! 11.55 miles walked yesterday.

March challenge – average steps for the last 10 days of Feb. = 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 !!

Day/Weight/Comment
End of round 144: 172.8
3/23 171.6 Sat in the hospital most of the day with daughter. They wouldn't let me walk during her procedure. Just had to sit in her room. Walked in place for a while until I realized I might be bothering whatever poor soul had the room underneath me. Her surgery went well, then I chased baby in the evening, but exercise wasn’t as I had hoped. I logged EVERYTHING yesterday (and the day before), though. That is what I have to do this round. If I can’t log it accurately, I don’t need to eat it.

Personal exercise goals for March:
Average 10,000 steps a day
Walk or ride 150 miles

When I count miles walked, it is just those that are tracked by GPS. I don’t use my watch “total miles for the day” number—just, when I go out for a walk, I log that. That’s why I’m working on my overall step count this month. I’m interested to see what effect getting in more steps throughout the day has on my TDEE number I can track in my watch/phone. Think I’ll add that to these numbers just so I have an easy record. I think that might be important long term, and I’ve never paid much attention to it. So, I think I might gain some insight this month by tracking all of this. Fingers crossed!

Round Goal: 144.x Fast 16+hrs on weekdays, 14+hrs on weekends. Up the water! Water minimum: 75oz, Goal: 91oz.

Day, Weight, Comment
03/23 - 148.4 - I'll follow suit, then. TOM is coming and I am bloaaaaated. Fasted 18hr yesterday (made some homemade biscuits for biscuits and gravy for the first time). Then made some cheesy cheddar ranch pasta for dinner. Way too cheesy, need to adjust the recipe. 90oz water, or a little more.

Previous Day's Comments

03/13 - Not enough water and a late night snack (kids man...they want a snack then don't eat it. They'd only eat it if I ate one.) 62oz, 16hr fast. BF left early this AM to pick up kids for spring break so I'm going to run errands and get some things done I needed today.
03/14 - Expected. Texas is open again and my town is back to being vacation/bachelorette party central. BF and kids arrived at 7. They wanted Mexican. Unfortunately, the wait was FOREVER and we didn't get food until 9pm. Was short on water, as well, from running errands and the daughter drank my water haha Oh well. Fasted 12hrs, stopped while running errands to support my friend's small business and she had a new drink for me to try. I can't NOT get it. That's why fasting is flexible, right? Once everybody is up and moving, we are going to Fam's land to do more tree cleanup from the winter storm and then have fun with kiddos. Hopefully I'll burn some extra calories and be able to get my water in to flush some of this out. I won't be surprised if it takes a few days.
03/15 - Still dealing with sodium-related water retention. Again, I'm expected it to take a few days to drop off. Back to the grind with work, which will hopefully keep me in line fasting and water wise.
03/16 - Down it goes, hopefully it keeps going. Fasted 16.5hrs, about 95oz water.
03/17 - Still coming back down. Wish it wasn't so slow, but that's my body for ya. Daughter drank my water again (why won't she get her own cup?!) so guestimating about 70oz water for me. Fasted 16hrs. Happy St. Paddys Day!
03/18 - Stepped on the scale 3 times, thinking it registered high. Either its all messed up or I've somehow gained? I am feeling a tad bloated, but nothing crazy enough to cause this weight. Oh well. I hope it'll drop by the end of the round and isn't a true weight.
03/19 - I had to use the bathroom and woke up with my eyes absolutely STINGING. Decided to curl up on the couch with my water and a series of lubricating drops before taking an hour nap again. Figured after drinking so muc water before my nap, I wouldn't get an accurate weigh in and skipped. Better now, think I just slept so hard I missed a couple middle-of-the-night eye drop sessions I typically have and they were extra dry. Today is last day before kiddos go home. I know there's enchiladas for dinner tonight. Fasted 16hr yesterday, 65oz water. Today I fasted 15hrs and currently behind on my water, but chugging away.
03/20
03/21

Late Start! Goal: 5000 daily steps min to start with (:
03/02 - 5,739! Didn't expect that at all
03/03 - 4,887.... Wish I had remembered to pay attention before I was settled in bed. Could've walked in place.
03/04 - 6,799!
03/05 - 6,463
03/06 - 9,941
03/07 - 7,344
03/08 - 3,647 Welp, that's a busy work day with too many meetings for me... Must do better today
03/09 - 4,999 Not sure if my watch and phone didn't sync? Swore I was over 5k haha oops
03/10 - 6,258
03/11 - 4,938 Once again, I think my watch didn't sync correct because I definitely remember it being way closer to 5000 before I even got up from the couch to do my nightly routine. Oh well.
03/12 - 5,726
03/13 - 5,197 Unfortunately my running of errands consisted of more driving around than anything... Today will make up for it
03/14 - 12,403
03/15 - 7,824
03/16 - 5,155
03/17 - 8,998
03/18 - 5,857 Not bad considering I thought I didn't make my goal of 5k!
03/19 - 9,410 Last day with kiddos walking main street and playing games
03/20 - 16,164 Working land
03/21 - 15,921 Working land
03/22 - 4,865 My back hurt so bad around my fusion site all day yesterday. Mostly sat with heat. I wanted to get up and pace the house to meet my goal, but I couldn't manage it. Today seems a tad better-- I could get out of bed without major pain or issue.

CamandJarvis · March 2021

@UTMom81 I'm so glad to hear her surgery went well. Sending prayers for a quick and easy recovery

beagletracks · March 2021

@UTMom81 - I was thinking exactly the same about logging! I logged half the day yesterday and it was a good reminder that I’m eating wayyyy too many calories. Need to get back to basics (but I won’t beat myself up if I can’t fit it in).

I hope your daughter recovers quickly. Sending hugs.

Round 145

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”, 60
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
2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021)
GW: <200 in 2020 BMI 35.2
UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese

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)
