Goals for this round:
- Weigh every three days
- Add 1/3 of exercise calories to daily calorie goal
3/23 - 124.6 - I’m in for one more round as I continue to get maintenance figured out. I was higher than I’d have liked last round - I was expecting to drop a little rather than gain, but the round included multiple high calorie days and it’s too soon to see a regular trend. I’m going to try and continue to spread out the weigh-ins to see if I can get used to it, but I’ll revisit the idea at the end of the round. I may just feel better weighing each day since it gives me more data. For calories - I kind of geeked out with a spreadsheet, but I’ve figured out my average daily calories before exercise and I plan to aim for 1840 (my daily activity calories) plus 1/3 of my exercise calories. That should generally come to around 1950 each day.
03/24 - DNW - TOM started today and it kind of snuck up on me this time. I guess I’ve attributed the increase/lack of decrease on the scale to other things, and any increased hunger was masked as I let myself eat more calories. I’m definitely feeling it today though - hopefully the kids will be happy with playing in the backyard so I can rest a bit. If not, I may have to resort to some Daniel Tiger. 😂
03/25 - DNW - Beautiful sunny day! Trying to spend as much of it outside as possible. Snacked a bit more than I intended last night for game night, but I don’t think I did too much damage. We’re getting takeout bbq tonight though, which may impact the scale tomorrow.
03/26 - 124.2 - Took my daughter to her allergist for a skin test this morning; it confirmed what we already suspected: she’s allergic to seafood (fish & shellfish). This is in addition to allergies to tree nuts and several legumes like chickpeas and lentils. It’s easy enough to manage at home, though this will make it tougher - I’ll have to prepare a chicken serving for her whenever we have seafood - but knowing she’s going to be dealing with these all her life hurts my heart. I’m trying so hard to teach her that food isn’t “bad” or “good” but I have to balance that with teaching her there are foods she simply cannot ever have.
Otherwise - weight was good this morning and I got in a solid leg workout before we had to leave. I’m hoping to do a core workout tonight but it’s also “movie night”. I’ll be skipping the popcorn; it always gets in my teeth and we’re having leftover takeout so I’m short on calories.

Female age 62 5' 4” - Challenge for this round; maintenance – stay >130 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! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.
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 – I've had my first, spread positivity and encouragement for it to others.
Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to acheive my under 130 target; back to mainanence again!! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

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.

I will keep posting here until Round 145 gets sorted out. Off to a good start the last 24 hours. (previous statement posted on round 144. Glad your back on the radar @grandmajackie !)
3/24: 209.0
OK, so I have two possible reasons it dropped this much in one day. One involves TMI. The other is that my scale in on the fritz.

I have to say I am just fine with the past three days. I have been behaving for the most part. 😊
DW’s Birthday this weekend. Our best friends are having us over for dinner to celebrate on Saturday, so that will be a mine field of carbs. Tonight, she and I will celebrate with a pizza probably.
Somebody at work brought in a huge pouch of “Brownie-Fudge M&Ms” “must …not….indulge…!”
3/27: 211.6
Yes, we had pizza for lunch AND supper. All the food groups there.

This is my 9th round of 2021, and my New Year resolution was to get at least 30 under my belt...I am a 52 year old woman with progressive MS and poor mobility, so it makes it difficult to lose weight. BUT I am getting weight off slowly but steadily.

uphill, only to watch it roll down so he could roll it back up again the next day. Remember the Ford
Model T? You know it was called "Model T" because it worked AND is was after Model A, B, C to S.
So, here we are. Call me Model T. I know 100% what works for me now after years of trying everything
else now I am going to Master Tenacity. Get there and stay there. Hang in there. You will make it

Day/Weight/Calories/Comment3/23 - 184.6 - 1849 😕
Back to basics, methinks. Calories matter, but so do macros and their parts. I already know that 1500 seems to be the magic number for me for calories, at least right now, and I own up to eating more than that way too regularly. But I just took a look back at my macros, which lately have been low on protein (~16%), good on carbs (45%, mostly whole grains, veggies, legumes, though also too much nice cream lately), high on fat (~40%, a lot from cheese). When I was losing regularly I was eating ~P20-25%, F~30%, mostly unsaturated, C45-50%, mostly veggies, whole grains, legumes, and virtually no added sugars. I was also more active, and I’m working on that. Not going to the gym all year has not helped — I used to go every day M-F, plus long outdoor walks. Anyway, I’m sort of thinking out loud (?) here, but it helps me ‘fess up and face the reality that I’m no longer holding steady at too heavy but am gaining again. So.... I’m grateful for this nonjudgmental forum, though I’m sure some of you must be rolling your eyes at my repeated vows to do something “this round”! 🙄 Ok, I’m off now to get a new bluebird house and to walk the Indiana Native Tree Trail along the St. Marys River before the rain. Happy round to us all!
3/24 - 184 - 1284
Yesterday was gorgeous, and I had a nice long walk along the river. I felt more in control, and hit my macros nicely with P21 F30 C49. All good!
3/25 - 183.8 - 1649
A bit high on calories, I missed my macros (P17, F38, C45), but I’m aiming for averages and have today planned, so all good.
3/26 - 183.6 - 1587
Calories still too high, but all good, healthful food, so I can’t feel too guilty. Still need to work on macros (P18, F37, C45). I got a nice walk & some preliminary garden cleanup in before the wind came up. I won’t do any serious cleanup until it’s actually warm and the little creatures have emerged. My daffodils are blooming, and forsythia are right on the edge. I love the yellows of spring. 🌼🌷🌼🌹🌼🌷🌼🌹🌼 Happy Friday, all!
3/27 - 183.4 - 1636
Puttering around this morning, hoping it will warm up a bit this afternoon cuz it’s damp & cold this morning. But flowers are starting to bloom 🌷🌷🌷, chipmunks 🐿 are racing around, and the birds 🪶 are busy building — and Mike the 🐈 is giving a running commentary.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/22 …..207.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
03/23 …..209.0 ….. 2 chili dogs and a ton of water. My daughter brought it home from an out-of-town dairy queen. Oh, and a medium Blizzard. She’s a bad influence and I am weaker than I thought. How do you say no to one of your children who just spent hard earned money on you? She and I are going to have to have a talk.
03/24 …..208.8 ….. My first covis shot tomorrow at an out-of-town location. I’m a little nervous but happy that it’s my turn. Eating my emotions at this time but happy for a tiny dip on the scale. I’m being pulled into family problems. Temptations in food continue with my daughter constantly bringing home junk. We will be having a talk tonight!
03/25 …..208.2 ….. Leaving for out-of-town in a bit for Covid shot number 1. I am being the driver for 3 others since it is far from home. Our health departments services many cities and counties as well so it will be a bit of travel.
03/26 …..208.8 ….. After travel shock-wave. I’ll work on it today. First Covid Shot went very very well. I could not feel it at all. Was waiting for the poke and he was already putting the band-aid on! I drove 3 others who were given the shot by different volunteers. No kidding, none of us could feel ANYTHING at all. Last night I had not problem using my arm, even sleeping on my arm. It is touchy if I actually touch the site, otherwise, I still can’t feel any pain and there were no other side effects. Have a great weekend everyone!
03/27 …..207.6 ….. Better choices. Limited snacks and got in plenty of steps at home. It added up.

03/01 – 11,051 Steps yesterday. The most steps in a very long time. Certainly the most since my retirement!
03/02 - 6,181 Steps yesterday. It was a busy day with the remodel. Full house.
03/03 - 4,937 Steps yesterday. Unexpected travel with lots of car rides. I keep my fitbit on my non-dominate wrist, not my ankle, so I know I actually got in over 10,000 with ALL the shopping. However, I had no time for any extra planned exercise yesterday so I am grateful for the steps in the big box stores.
03/04 - 6,589 It was a paperwork day. Not as much movement or as many steps as I would have liked.
03/05 - 4,276. Another paperwork day as I prepped for my attorney appointment today for my will & trust (and other matters). Travel today will bring light steps for tomorrow also.
03/06 - 7,489 Traveled but still got in some steps.
03/07 – 6,827 Steps. I should have tried harder. I probably could have gotten more in. I have been doing some planned stairs in the house though.

03/15 - 7,164 Steps. Still getting them from inside home.
03/16 - 7,546 Steps. Snow today. Grandson visiting other relatives so I will have to get those steps another way and not from chasing him! LOL.
03/17 – 11,857 Steps. That is what grandchildren will do to you sometimes LOL!
03/18 - 6,571 Steps. Surprised it wasn’t more!
03/19 - 7,835 Steps.
03/20 - 10,310 Steps. These came naturally with the babysitting and household tasks I had. I wish they came that easy every day.
03/21 - 9,876 Steps.
03/22 - 6,321 Steps. Travel and a long birthday party sitting.
03/23 - 11,841 Steps. Lots of Housecleaning!
03/24 - 13,732 Steps. Yard Work including raking.
03/25 - 8,517 Steps. A mild resting day yesterday to ease my inflammation before the Covid-19 shot today.
03/26 - 7,024 Steps. Travel with lots of sitting.
03/27 - 12,459 Steps. Burning calories as best I can during the Renovation.8 -

Previous Day's Comments03/23 - 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.
03/24 - I measured myself real quick, all my measurements are the same, the weight is just up (TOM). That makes me feel a whole lot better and explains why I needed a new hole in my belt. Fasted 16.5hr and 90oz water. FamHub's birthday yesterday so we had seafood (made at home) and I imagine the salt isn't helping, either. Also, I have a date in mind. 12 weeks. That allows a 1lb per week loss to hit the upper-limit of my maintenance goal (I updated my UGW to a weight range). It also coincides with my BF and Godson's bdays (day after each other) and Father's Day weekend (we usually have something bigger planned since 3 events fall on same weekend) so it gives me a solid event, not just arbitrary date.
03/25 - That would be the homemade chinese food last night and TOM still hanging around. Fasted 16hrs, drank 95oz water. Outside of not eating dinner with everyone else (feels super rude), I don't know what else to do. Hopefully tonight's dinner is lighter and easier on my body. Aiming for 17hr fast today. Also going to keep pushing water. I start off so good in the morning and it tapers off by afternoon. Need to figure something out. Maybe adding in a tea bag for flavoring? Maybe some lemon juice? If y'all have any good ideas that are super quick (just pop it in my cup), let me know!
03/26 - I'm now wondering if yesterday was a false high. My scale said 152 this morning and I decided there is absolutely no way possible it could be right. Stepped on 2 more times and its 146.6. Why is my scale being so wonky lately?! Note to self: step on 2-3 times to make sure first reading isn't false high. I feel a lot better. Had last minute pork tacos last night with Fam. I made taco salad and inspired FamWife to do the same. Fasted 17.5hr, 105oz water.
I'm going to vent because it helps me think: Just found that my old "gym" has online workouts now! 9Round is a boxing/kickboxing 30 minute workout. Show up whenever and jump in. I've done 2-a-days there, before no issue before I moved. Loved it so much. Closest one is now 45 minutes away and work schedule doesn't accommodate it. It was $70/month in person. Online workouts are $20. I'm really really heavily debating it. The hardest part is I LOVED bag work and sparring but online only includes shadow boxing (which is good, no place for a bag or two in this house). Might do the 7 day trial. I'm not entirely sure yet.

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.

03/22 - 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.
03/23 - 7,587 Whoo! I paced the house in the morning to hit 1,000 steps by 9am and then we walked the land to plant sunflower seeds. If today's weather holds, I may try to venture out for a walk.

@kmort009 Almost a year ago our older daughter broke out in a rash that covered her entire body. She works in a hospital so they sent her to ER where she was given antihistamine and sent home (“treat and street.”) The next morning her DH drove her back because she was having breathing difficulties and she was admitted. She then saw an allergist who said she had an anaphylactic reaction. It was traced to all red meat. She had apparently been bitten by a Lone Star tick and now has an alpha Gal positive reaction and must avoid ANYTHING that doesn’t fly or swim! Food allergies are so hard to deal with! You never know what might have been cross contaminated. Sending prayers for you and daughter. 🙏🙏🙏6

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.

3/23 119.5
3/24 117.5 I cracked down on myself.
3/25 117.0 Fasting for 39 hours, so far, and I feel fantastic!
3/26 116.5 I fasted for 46 hours. I wasn’t really hungry but DH expected a meal. Today I have labs drawn. My appointment WAS for 7:30 but they called yesterday and changed it to 11:30. A couple of years ago I would have been freaking out at not being able to eat until lunch. Now it’s my normal.
3/27 117.0 I ate a dozen small pimento stuffed olives at 9pm. Salt? Coincidence? It’s all good.

Hi I weigh in KG and record my happy scale trend
Goal for this round is get get below 53kg and stay there and to complete the step challenge. EW for round 144 = 53.0
Tue 23 53.0 tend ⬇️ 😊
Wed 24 53.3 trend ⬆️ 😡 I’m attributing the gain to very salty smoked haddock! Let’s see what tomorrow brings ....
Thu 25 53.0 trend ⬇️ It was the fish! 😊
Fri 26 53.0 trend ⬇️ 😊 I had my first Covid jab today and I’m very sleepy tonight!
Sat 27 54.0. I’ve not recorded this in Happy Scale as I’m sure it’s way off. Very poor sleep last night, thirsty and feverish so lots to drink. Tired and thirsty all of today so getting a very early night. 😡 symptoms of the jab are worth it!
