    Day/Weight/Comment
    04/01 …..207.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
    04/02 …..207.6 ….. Holding my own but I had hoped for a little progress. A cold but beautiful day here. Taking two of the grands for their haircuts and lunch. Full hands today means less steps likely but I will watch my diet.

    04/03 …..208.6 ….. Meals weren’t too bad but I did have grilled cheese for dinner as it was a busy day and it’s fast to make. Sodium perhaps? I am, however, beginning to think I may be lactose intolerant and that cheese greatly affects me. That is a nightmare on the diets I prefer to follow for my weight AND my diabetes. I also seem to bloat and gain unreasonably if I’ve had a glass of milk the day before (unless it’s Fairlife Milk). I’m going to pay close attention….. Are we still doing the steps challenge BTW?

    04/04 …..207.6 ….. Back down to that comfortable number my body seems to like to hover on. Progress coming soon I hope. Almost 24,000 steps yesterday and over 10 miles. That was just working in the yard! Happy Easter everyone!

    04/05 …..206.6 ….. I keep landing on the point 6 lol. Anyway, I’m happy to be down another pound. We did not have an Easter dinner yesterday due to all the construction in my home. Sad to not spend time with my kids and grands but they had more time with the other side of their families so I guess that was good. Daughter is back home with BF after we had a small quibble the other day. Nothing that would otherwise keep us apart but still feeling bad about it. I hope to continue on my good trend with my scale and body fat % losses. All these steps are helping with the leave burning. Another over 20,000 steps yesterday and over 9 miles. My elbow is killing me but my feet and legs say yay!

    04/06 …..205.6 ….. Another weight ending in point 6. That means another whole pound down so I’ll take it! TMI helps and so does watching the dairy I think. Still experimenting with that. Another 19,000 steps yesterday burning the leaves. Back and forth to the house to keep an eye on the work crew during the reno. Rain for the next 10 days unless the forecast changes. I’ll find a way to stay as active as I can primarily inside.

    04/07 …..207.6 ….. Two pounds overnight is crazy. Lots of veggies yesterday. Healthy eating. 10,200 plus steps. The bad parts? One glass of milk. Fell asleep shortly after a very late dinner and woke up very early for an early weigh-in. Slept 3.5 hours but was wide awake when I woke up.

    04/08 …..208.2 ….. What??? Bad points of yesterday: 2 Alcohol drinks totaling about 24 oz. Good side: Healthy eating with lots of good veggies. No dairy. Over 12,000 steps. I managed to get away yesterday (when the work crew left early) for my first hike of the season. I walked several miles on a rugged and rustic trail following the river. It felt great on my legs and body but breathing was a little rough at times. It was a beautiful day. Pushing water today to see if that helps. I slept 5 hours last night which is better than usual.

    04/09 …..207.8 ….. Rain yesterday restricted outside work. I still got in over 10,000 steps with some yardwork until the rain came. Diet on target. Snacks a bit too much. I slept 2.5 hours last night which was horrid. I know it was because I slept 5 the night before which is longer than usual. I hope to get some rest tonight. Rain expected the next 4 days (or more) in a row. I will be working on flights of stairs indoors as the crew works.

    04/10 …..207.2 ….. A pretty lazy day yesterday due to rain. Kept my diet reasonable and used the stairs for movement. Got in my 10,000 plus steps. Pushed extra water. Right now I am at goal (any loss), but would love to end the round tomorrow in the 6’s. Have a great Saturday everyone!

    04/11 …..xxxxx …..

    Female age 62 5' 4” - Challenge for this round; maintenance – get back to and stay at or >130 Get back to 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.

    Day/Weight/Comment

    04/02 132 - Car drive for just over an hour yesterday to meet up with DD & 2 little DGS; so excited to be able to see each other for the first time since Christmas Day. We had a wonderful time, managed only 5.63 miles walking, which means that I did not have any additional exercise calories and therefor my challenge to stay within calories & macros has failed on the very first day, was I the April Fool? Well, I've got the rest of the month to make a difference, it was such precious time spent with them all; DGS have both grown and developed so much, aged just over 1 and 3 in the many months we have been forced to not see them we have missed so much !! Now that we are allowed we are going to make up for missed time!! Seeing them again on both Saturday & Sunday together with DH! Also seeing DS, DIL & DGD! Lots of travelling as staying away overnight is not yet allowed, but who cares, family time is precious!!
    exercise.png
    04/03 131 – 12.89 miles walked and food within calories & macros.
    04/04 132 - Only 4.85 miles walked so no exercise calories and therefore over on calories & macros, but I can make up for it later on in the week. Had an amazing day with the family yesterday and the sun came out too, take two today!! :):) Family time is even more precious than ever x.
    04/05 133 – Only 2.88 miles walked yesterday; another absolutely wonderful day with my family, cracking down today for the rest of the week/round.
    04/06 132 – 12.6 miles walked yesterday with DH in the lovely spring sunshine but with a keen cool wind, less than a quarter of exercise calories eaten back. A very good day food wise & feeling back on track.
    04/07 131.6 – 11.9 miles walked yesterday and just over half exercise calories taken back, another good day.
    04/08 132 – 10.35 miles walked yesterday
    04/09 133 – only 2.38 miles walked yesterday, drove up to take 3 year old DGS out for the day whilst DD took his youger brother to hospital out-patient appt.
    exercise.png
    04/10 134.8 - no hugs needed;my own fault :( 10.57 miles walked. I am so ashamed to say I have had a bad run of days binging on chocolate, this has to stop now! I am so down on myself and only have myself to blame, so suffered during the night too with really bad calf cramps and I am sure it is related to the great excess of sugar, serves me right. OK lets get back on track. We're off away next week in our caravan for the week down to Devon & it will be my birthday, but I'm still going to endeavor to do my best. It's another big step in England's roadmap back to normality on Monday, non-essential shops opening, pubs & restaurants able to open and serve outside only & same households being able to stay away for nights in self contained accomodation hence us taking our touring caravan away!
    04/11 133.8 – 11.71 miles walked yesterday, feel better this morning that I am back on track, 612 calories under, but cuz it was pizza night 6 carbs over. 1.8 pounds gained again this round, it is the awakening I need to keep on ! See you all next round.


    KEEP SAFE EVERYONE :). Keep calm – we're all in this together!

    End of Round 146 Goal: 211lb

    Round 142- 219lb (-4.4lb)
    Round 143- 216.4lb (-2.6lb)
    Round 144- 215.8lb (-0.6lb)
    Round 145- 213lb (-2.8lb)

    Day/Weight/Comment

    04/02- 214lb. Bad few days, feeling ready to go again today. Meals all logged for today, lots of water and exercise. Going to have a very healthy 10 days. I’m on Easter break now, so exercise will go through the roof!
    04/03- 213.4lb. Back on it yesterday and I already feel better. Trying to keep up my water consumption and my alcohol consumption down will be hard over this Easter break. I’m just agonising over which gym to join, crossfit gym (which is superb but limited by class timings) or my local council gym which is full of cardio machines, but hardly any weight areas.
    04/04- 211.6lb. Decent loss on the scales this morning. Loads of exercise this weekend. Feel very positive.
    04/05- 212.6lb. High sodium dinner last night. Long bank holiday walk this morning, going to shoot for 10 miles. Trying a new veggie recipe today which sounds amazing- not sure my partner agrees though.
    04/06- 212.2lb. Stomach feels bloated this morning. Had a great veggie meal yesterday which my partner loved- she didn’t even mention the lack of meat! Just joined a gym ready for them being allowed to reopen on 12th April. Feeling motivated to smash through my goals at the moment.
    04/07- 211.2lb. No walking yesterday, so I had to be more disciplined when sticking to my calories. Going to go for a long walk today, drink plenty of water and prep some healthy meals for the next couple of days.
    04/08- 212.6lb. Big jump up on the scales. Feel full of a cold and have been exercising quite hard and walking a lot of miles. Calories have been around the mark consistently for a while now, even if I have a few days over, it averages out across the week. Not worried about the jump, but would love to end the round around or below 211.
    04/09- 211.6lb. Scales back down today, hope to see a new low before the round is out.
    04/10- 212lb. Fell off the wagon yesterday. Didn’t go massively over or anything, but had a couple of beers and made some poor food choices, including plenty of mindless eating. Lots of water, exercise and a low calorie day today to get back on track.
    04/11- 211lb. Sort of back on track. Feel pretty grim with a chest infection which is restricting my exercise currently. Nice to end the round by hitting my goal weight for the round.

    April as always needs to be about maintaining good eating habits and strength training at least 2 times a week.
    My April step is at 134996/ goal 360,000 37.4%


    Round 140 SW: 192.1 EW: 190.5 -1.6
    Round 141 SW: 190.5 EW: 192.5 +2
    Round 142 SW: 192.5 EW: 192.6 +0.1
    Round 143 SW: 192.6 EW: 195.7 +3.1
    Round 144 SW: 195.7 EW: 196.8 +1.1
    Round 145 SW: 196.8 EW: 194.2 -2.6
    Round 146 SW: 194.2 EW: 196.2 +2

    04/02 194.4 Had I hard time controlling the need for a snack. I was at grocery store at 930pm and put too many snack in my bag. Never easy to shop and avoid late night snacking, while you a little hungry. I let myself indulge a bit but not too much. Tonight going for hibachi dinner, so today is hardboiled egg and avocado, crumbled 1 slice of bacon for breakfast and tuna salad (with avocado) on lettuce wraps for lunch. A very good start for calories today.
    04/03 193.3 Not too bad yesterday but still too much junk in my house. My biggest snack was a Dried cranberry, raisin, cherry with almonds combo.
    04/04 194.2 Easter Sunday large brunch way too food, lots of jelly beans and a ham. I expect to see a rise. The sodium alone was probably double my recommended amount. I did not log during the weekend.
    04/05 198.2 4lb in 24 hours is impressive to say the least. However it did inspire me to chop up that ham and throw a good portion of it away. I also got some of the jelly beans out of my house. Plus my fitbit and Myfitnesspal are not syncing. Not in either direction. Very frustrating.
    04/06 195.5 That is something to celebrate. I threw away the sugar cookies this morning. The kids have plenty of sugar in the house.
    04/07 195.3
    04/08 194.1
    04/09 195.1 I am finally syncing. Whoo Hoo! Last night I had ground turkey pasta sauce over a cup of green beans with one slice of 45 calorie bread and a little shredded cheese on top .Very satisfying!
    04/10 193.9 TOM is approaching. As much as I like to end the under 194.
    04/11 196.2 There it is. Swollen up. A frustrating end but it shall pass.

    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

    My goal for 2021 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
    Plans:

    🔹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)

    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
    4/2 207.3 Walked 3.8 + .7 miles, plank, gardening, 1700 cal, 29 net carbs, AF. New month new day … time to refocus and get back into better habits to support my weight loss journey.
    4/3 207.4 Walked 2.4 miles, plank, gardening, 2281 cal, 126 net carbs, 3 glasses of wine. Whatburger fish sandwich & fries for lunch and then chicken & shrimp paella for dinner. Too much ice cream & wine but lots of water.
    4/4 207.2 Walked 2 miles, plank, gardened, 2146 cal, 67 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Not enough water. Chipotle salad for lunch and my garlic cauliflower mushroom skillet at dinner had more calories and carbs than I expected. Progress … it is the little things - Cleaned clothes out of my closet again :)
    4/5 207.4 Walked 1.4 + 2.4 miles, gardened, 1268 cal, 46 net carbs, AF. Low key Easter … just what I wanted to destress my life.
    4/6 207.3 Walked 3.5 +.8 + .4, garden, 2043 cal, 112 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Active day.
    4/7 207.4 Walked 2.4 + .5, 2077 cal, 100 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Fried chicken for lunch and pizza for dinner. Need to clean up my meals in order to get to 206 this round.
    4/8 207.2 Walked 5.3 + 1 miles, 1585 cal, 114 net carbs, AF.
    4/9 207.5 Walked 2.9 miles, 1500 cal, 89 net carbs, AF. Blister on my heal will take me out of my walking routine today but it is a great opportunity to hop on my bike!
    4/10 206.7 Walk .6 miles, Bike 30 min, 1611 cal 129 net carbs, 1 glass wine. Found the 206s again!!
    4/11 207.2 Walk 2.3 miles, garden, 1584 cal, 131 net carbs, 1 beer … my favorite St. Arnold’s Summer Pils is back in season!

    Down 1.2 lbs. Progress! Still trying to crawl myself back to 205.7 that I saw in February. Baby Steps.

    2: 202.5 I'm up 12 lbs from my lowest weight that I reached in January 2020. Considering the absolute insanity of the last year or so, I am beyond thrilled that it isn't more! I'm so, so ready to reach the 175 range, which is what I weighed before I got pregnant with my first child 20 years ago. I'm giving myself some time to ease back into 100% primal eating. Some days might be 100%, and others might be 60%, but as long as I'm making overall progress, I'm happy with that. I've gotten into some bad carb habits over the last year, which is also why I'm surprised I haven't put on more weight. I started walking a few times a week most weeks about 4 months ago, but now that I'm doing a fascia recovery program I need to switch to no-impact exercises. Hopped on an elliptical yesterday and was shocked to make it 40 minutes because I find it so much more challenging than even a brisk walk. I'd like to add some rowing in, as well, and hopefully some weight training in the near future as I progress with this fascia program I'm following. I'm glad to be back with all of you and happy to see so many familiar faces!
    3: 203.4 Rest day yesterday, plus calories were closer to maintenance. I expect to be down again tomorrow.
    4: 203.4 Forgot to post because if the holiday.
    5: 203.3 🥚After not weighing in daily for so long, I had forgotten that ovulating spikes my weight for a few days. Rest day and holiday didn't help, though I didn't do terribly either day. We'll see what tomorrow brings, but I'm not stressing. Heading to the gym for an elliptical session shortly, to be followed by my first full body fascia blasting.
    6: 202.5 Back to my round starting weight! Lol Really though, between the holiday and ovulating, I'm pretty stoked about this. Food is planned for the rest of the day without taking my late afternoon exercise into account. I just need to stay focused on my water intake. On a side note, is anyone else having issues with MFP and FitBit not syncing steps or exercise calories until 11:59pm?
    7: DNW - A friend was in crisis mode and needed a friend and a few drinks and Mexican food yesterday. Didn't feel great when I woke up. I'm sure the scale would've hated me though.
    8: 205.0 Yeaaaa. So that spike sucks, but I'm not letting it get me down. Life happens, and I find I'm happiest when I can just be flexible and go with it. Fasting today. Got on the elliptical for 45 minutes and got my fascia blasting done for the day, so I'm feeling pretty productive.
    9: 201.2 Yesterday's fast felt great! My specific goals were to keep my liquid (mostly water) intake up and allow myself 500 calories or less of non-solid food. I went as long as I could into the day before I had my Bulletproof Maca Collagen smoothie, which was about 300 calories. I continued with water and hot tea after that until around the time when my normal eating window ends. I logged 120 ounces of water by bedtime. I'm currently at about 34 hours, but I intend to go to 36 unless I physically feel like I can't. I don't foresee that happening though because I feel really good. I feel like this was a great reset. Today is a rest day, so no exercise and no fascia blasting. Going back to usual 16:8 IF schedule. I imagine I'll see a slight uptick in the scale tomorrow, but we'll see.
    10: 200.2 Pleasantly surprised by this! Heading to the gym shortly. Then doing my last fascia blasting session until after my boudoir photo shoot next week. There is nothing sexy about the numerous little bruises that blasting causes in the early stages, so I better take a break to let them heal.
    11: 200.0 All goals for the round met. Looking forward to onederland!!!


    There's no such thing as failure; only feedback.

    4/2 - 183.2 - 1529
    I’m determined to make this my back-on-track breakthrough round & month. Off to a good start. Thanks to all on this lovely group for being here.

    4/3 - 184.2 - 1449
    What??? How can that be? Maybe sodium in the chicken casserole DH made for dinner. Happily, we have no Easter candy in the house and I’m resisting the urge to bake hot cross buns. Maybe I’ll color a couple of hard boiled eggs. 🌷🐇 Have a satisfying Saturday, all!

    4/4 - 184 - 1264
    Happy to say my 7-day calorie average is now below my goal, and I fully intend to keep it there. I’d really like to get out of the 80s this month. And now I’m heading out to the garden to begin cutting back last summer’s leavings to make way for the new. This is my friend Clover talking to me last summer. We wish you a Happy Easter, happy day!

    4/5 - 184 - 1419
    Rats. I’d hoped to be down a bit. But I’ve been hitting my goal, so there’s that!

    4/6 - 184 - 1514
    Aww, come on. I’m hoping this means I’ll have a big whoosh sometime (soon!), but it’s very discouraging. Otoh, we have a lovely warm day coming up and I’m heading into the garden. And our new gazebo is up! I love it! Stay tuned for flowers.

    4/7 - 183.8 - 1306
    I suppose that’s a little progress. I’ve no idea why it’s so slow. Weird.

    4/8 - 184 - 1410
    Really makes no sense to me. Plus I put new batteries in my scale and the stupid thing bumped my weight up 4 pounds! I am not recording that!!! I’ll just report 184 until the scale catches up. I’m not that worried about actual numbers anyway, just trends, and I’m not taking credit for 4 pounds I didn’t suddenly gain! Thankfully, I got a nice dose of endorphins yesterday working in the garden, and am heading out for more of the same before the rain. Wishing you all a lovely day.

    4/9 - 184 - 1541
    I’m completely baffled that I’m not losing (even on the refreshed scale - see above). Very discouraging! And I don’t know what to do to break through the barrier (without extreme diets — I’m convinced that the strict elimination diet I was on 3 years ago for health reasons triggered my rapid regain and I won’t do that again). Surely I’ll start to lose eventually. I went for a short walk yesterday, and spent 2 hours cleaning up my garden beds, so there’s that.
    Have a happy Friday!

    4/10 - 184 - 1469
    Still holding steady. I don’t understand. Maybe my scale is stuck? I’ve tried holding extra weight to reset, but still get the same just-me weight. Getting grumpy here. 😠

    4/11 - 184 - 1837
    A few extra calories yesterday, but my average for the round is on target. I’m frustrated, to say the least, but something has to give. I am building up my walking time, so hopefully..... See you next round.

    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.

    'm here again to get back on track. I haven't been mindful of my eating and really feel miserable for it. Healthy eating please! That said, I'm joining in here a bit late have camped over the long weekend with all the yumminess that goes along with that.

    Round 146

    Age: 39
    Height: 5’ 3”
    SW: 163
    CW: 124.0
    GW: 125

    GW for this round: 123-125

    Round 140 (15): 128.8 to 127.4 (-1.4 lbs)
    Round 141 (16): 127.4 to 128.2 (+0.8 lbs)
    Round 142 (17): 128.2 to 125.8 (-2.4 lbs)
    Round 143 (18): 125.8 to 124.4 (-1.4 lbs)
    Round 144 (19): 124.4 to 124.8 (+0.4 lbs)
    Round 145 (20): 124.8 to 124.0 (-0.8 lbs)

    Goals for this round:

    - Maintain between 123 and 125
    - Begin following 10 week strength training program (and keep up with it!)

    Still sticking around, as long as you guys will have me. 😂. Continuing to try and get into a maintenance mindset rather than a weight loss mindset. There is Easter, my husband’s birthday and a friend’s birthday for me this round, so I will be happy to end it around the same weight as I’m starting it.

    4/2 - 125 - High, but I had popcorn last night as my husband and I finished the last 3 episodes of a season we’ve been watching. I also made lemon ricotta cookies with the kids and again, ate too many of them. I think I need to switch our baking to cakes and pies - when we make something with individual portions I eat way too many. Its much easier to control myself when I have to serve out the pieces.

    4/3 - DNW
    4/4 - DNW

    4/5 - 126.4 - Two days of parties, birthday cakes and Easter dinner will definitely have an impact. Its been crazy busy this past weekend; I didn’t even have time to weigh the past two mornings - on Saturday it was my friend’s 2-year old son’s birthday and I made the cake for them - so plenty of tasting and decorating, plus the dinner at the little party (just us and them). Then yesterday was Easter - lots of candy, Easter dinner of ham, potatoes, asparagus, rolls - and it was my husband’s birthday, so I made him a cake and let the kids decorate it. I’m surprised I’m only up 2-3 lbs! Let’s see how it settles out over the next few days. I also started a new strength training program this morning- Caroline Girvan’s EPIC Heat series. It started with leg day and it was a serious workout! I can’t wait to keep going with it.

    4/6 - 126.2 - I’m just going to expect the scale to stay around 125 - 128 for awhile as I adjust to these new workouts. Plus it’s tough to regain a calorie deficit with cake and lots of Easter candy still in the house. I’m at a healthy weight - now it’s about toning and getting stronger. As long as I’m not pushing 130 I won’t worry.

    4/7 - 125.4 - Back on track with calories, though I’m not getting quite enough protein in terms of macros. My legs were still sore this morning from Monday’s workout, and today’s workout was also legs - I’m not going to be walking much tomorrow! I appreciate feeling challenged though - it makes me feel like I really can make progress and I feel so proud of myself when I finish.

    4/8 - 125.0 - Weight is still making its way back down. I had a too few many cookies last night, but made myself freeze the rest of them for another time. We have way too much sugar and candy in the house already. I went for a 5K run this morning - it felt good to stretch out my legs! Hoping to get some time working in the garden today as well.

    4/9 - 124.8
    4/10 - DNW
    4/11 - 124.4 - Ok, catching up on the past few days! Just busy with the kids since my husband is swamped at work. I did a baking class yesterday on empanadas that was awesome (though the dough was anything but low on calories 😂). I said I’d be happy to end the round around the same weight as I started, and that’s pretty much what happened. I’m doing a distanced picnic brunch with two friends this morning as an early birthday party 🥳
    Hopefully having it early in the day will give my body more time to process it and it won’t hit the scale so hard tomorrow morning. Going to try and catch up on postings now and try and be better about tracking and checking in next round!

    Total Round Gain: +0.4 lbs

    Starting today. I have not been accountable for months but ready to start today. I’m not at my highest but I gained 15 lbs since Christmas. I’m doing low carb(keto) with intermittent fasting which I have never done successfully but I’m ready to start.
    4/5 260.8
    4/6 259.8
    4/7 256.8
    4/8 253.6
    4/9 253.8 (my first night shift since intermittent fasting . It was rough but I made it through without running to the vending machine . My weight is usually up on nights so to stay about the same is progress.)
    4/10 252.8
    4/11 253 . Overall I’m pleased with my progress week one . Down 7.8 lbs . I stayed on plan and have a few sugar cravings but I got through them. Looking forward to the next round
