    '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
    64 years old, 159cm, starting weight ~68kg April 2020, having been in maintenance for the last 6 months or so.

    Goal weight this round: 56.5kg

    Day/Weight/Comment
    04/02 - 57.3kg, off to camp for long weekend
    04/03 - away from scale
    04/04 - away from scale
    04/05 - away from scale
    04/06 - 57.4kg, need to buckle down and get serious about food choices
    04/07 - 56.8kg, feeling much better after just one day of sensible eating
    04/08 - 56.8kg, no change but not unexpected, need to do more physical activity to offset calorie intake

    I’ve had trouble with MFP by itself. I don’t use Fitbit, I have Garmin and enter my weight there and it DOES sync with MFP but I try to go from the MFP weight graph to here and it “can’t connect” I think the issue is ALL MFP

    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.

    @quiltingjaine I think your right. A bit frustrating. I have reset the link between Fitbit and MFP, and it will sync immediately after but not continuously. Also it won't let me do it from my phone only the computer. My concern it there is no open case within Help or Tech support on the website indicating they are aware of the issue or they are trying to fix it. Previously I sent them emails about this and they were working on a resolution. As of yesterday, nothing in the works and no way to contact them. Only a instant pre-set message.

    😷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
    [/color]
    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!

    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.

    04/01 132 – 12.89 miles walked yesterday, kept well in food calories & macros; pleased to say I'm back on track. Not sure if anyone is thinking of a challenge for April, but mine is to stay within calories for the whole of the month, that only 30 days and 3 rounds after all, I should be able to give that a really good go!

    SW: 132
    GW: 130
    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.

    @CamandJarvis how do you like your new scale?

    I love it! It gives foot placement adjustments to get good readings. Body fat seems consistent over 3 weigh-ins which is good for trending. Gives bone, muscle, water, and body fat as well (with trends! I love trends). Syncs via wifi or bluetooth (I didn't set up wifi). Also has option to show you weather if you set up wifi! It's really nifty. And veeeery sleek looking. The app is awesome, too. I've been able to sync MFP and Fitbit with it so far (: Don't have enough data to see much of trends or feedback data, but I like the app now with it's simple layout and ease of use for a one-stop-shop. Note with my fitbit: Fitbit doesn't send data to it (like steps or workouts) but the scale sends my weight and bf% to Fitbit which was the main goal for me.

    Comes with carpet leg cushions for accurate readings on uneven floors. Only problem is, if it's on hardwood or linoleum floors, it's pretty slippery (with and without the carpet attachments). I have to go out today and buy some of those furniture slip pads or something to keep it from sliding when getting on and off it. I'm good since I have handles in my bathroom (previous owners were elderly) but just a heads up!
