Day/Weight/Comment
06/11 - 212lb. Ate late again last night, plus gym session and not enough water will probably be the reason for the gain.
06/12 - 211.8lb. Managed a 9K run today and feel pretty good because of it.
06/13 - 211.8lb. Frustrated the scale isn’t moving- hopefully it will come.
06/14 - 210.8lb. Back to where I started this round. Hopefully a couple of losses will follow to get me to a new low. Quick gym session today- cut short due to a horrible stitch which wouldn’t go away on my treadmill HiiT workout.

Goal weight for this round: Get to the 115 range hopefully…fingers crossed!
Previous days6/11 116.2 Started my day with a 20 minute bike ride and didn’t get a chance to get my walk in. Also, hank you TOM and salt and strength workouts for water retention blip up. I’m really happy I saw 115 last round and hope to see it again this round. I plan on seeing this number drop soon because we just got 2 bunches of parsley in our CSA today and I plan on making a large parsley heavy tabouleh salad to munch on tomorrow and Sunday. I also swapped spinach for a giant head of green leaf lettuce, so there will be some other salads in my future. The parsley will be a nice natural diuretic along with some dandelion tea I plan on sipping throughout as well. Oh, how I love the summer greens starting up 😊! I missed the last two days of posting the last round due to insanity at work but today seemed to be more tolerable…so that was nice. Tonight, I got Thai Masaman curry takeout but ordered it with beef and extra veggies and sticky rice ( you get less rice when you order the sticky rice instead of Jasmine). I put half of it in my bowl and saved the other half for a meal tomorrow. I just felt like I needed the nourishing coconut milk and spices. I’ve been pretty hungry this week and I’m listening to my body by trying to give it a little bit more food than normal. Maybe it’s the hormones doing wacky things to my appetite but I’ll go with it versus fighting it and being a hungry & grumpy person. Enjoy your Friday night!6/13 Did not post.
6/12 Haven’t weighed yet this morning. I plan to start the day with a strength workout and then do some things around the house like dishes, make a healthy version of apple crisp, make salad, and wash our greens from the CSA. My husband and I might also kick the soccer ball around later as well.
6/14 116.4 Salt? Strength training? Not sure but I’m cool with it. My food yesterday was so so but not terrible. Today my food has been on point so I’m sure some of this water weight will drop eventually. I started my day with a two mile run, went for a two mile walk during my lunch and did a strength workout at the end of my work day (about 20 minutes and 6 1 minute sprints on the bike as a burnout at the end for 12 minutes total on the bike). The burnout is part of the strength program and is supposed to increase something in a good way. Supposedly results are better when it’s done that way. Anyways, dinner tonight is American Chop Suey with whole wheat penne and mybe some local strawberries for dessert.

6/12 209.2 I'm visiting relatives through the end of the month & my sister in law's scale is wonkie. It said 208.2, then the next two times AFTER going to the RR 209.2 Somewhere in the range. I'm happy to see the downward trend. -70 total. My body is still in recovery following that treacherous bout in the river...hours of repetitive arm motion caused muscle pain & general fatigue. I chilled yesterday. They say three days after an accident, you feel worse, so today's that day. Gentle stretches, and eating well are on my agenda. Resting & grateful for being alive.
6/13 209.2 close to that 208 goal.
6/14 211 Celebration last night w/ lots of food & wine. Hopefully I can re-lose some of that weight. Guess I should earn from this experiment in deviation from my food plan.

Hi guys! I'm 24, and 172cm tall (5ft6?) I'm mainly focusing on my nutrition this week. My goal is to hit 72kgs (159lbs)by the end of it hehe. Let's do this!
SW: 73.6kgs. (162lbs)
Day/Weight/Comment
6/11 73.6kgs. I weighed myself at 6pm today but for the rest of the week I will be weighing before brekky. Nutrition was on point this day.
6/12 72.9kgs. (260.7lbs) Wow 0.7 loss overnight. Like 1lb? Noice! However my nutrition was less on point today. Not very bad but not great either. Date night lol.kind of expecting an increase tomorrow.
6/13 Today I'm 72.7 kgs (160.2). -0.2 from yesterday. This is going very well so far...I think I may have set a very easy goal lol. It's already 1:30 pm and I haven't eaten yet 😐 Not good, I have always had the bad habit of skipping meals and snacking in between instead. I haven't snacked today, just coffee. I am going to make sure I at least eat my first meal before 12pm eachday. I'm not so big on breakfast I'm afraid. But I want to be healthy so I'll work on eating a timely lunch and dinner each day and if I feel hungry in the mornings I will definitely eat my oats like a good girl lol
6/14 wooooooooow guys! Today I'm 72.0kgs (159lbs!). Yep...that goal was too easy. I guess I will change my goal to 71kgs by the 20th. (156.5lbs). I doubt I will continue losing weight at this pace but I will enjoy it while it's happening 😂
6/15 Today I'm 72.3 kgs. I kinda expected a small increase as I didn't really overeat yesterday but I did eat more carby, salty food than I usually do. I had a gas station yellow curry (was yummier than it sounds) with white rice, it was small so I considered it acceptable. Then it turned out to be super spicy and I chugged a lot of milk 😂😂😂. It's really helpful to me to see y'all posts. I used to beat myself up if I had a small increase but now I know I'm not the only one and it's totally normal. This group is really good for me ❤️ thanks guys!

June focus: maintain weight < 150
improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180's170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
Aims:2021 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 153- 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.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

My 114th Round!
For 4 rounds my husband will be undergoing some medical treatments and my stress level is pretty high. I need to keep myself from stress snacking and focus on getting some extra physical activity.
Being overweight is hard.
Maintaining a healthy weight is hard.
Choose your hard.
After losing 12 lbs. I was stuck at 174lbs. for a couple weeks until I found this challenge.

6/15 - 147.8 - Initial TOM drop. Still feeling that heavy, puffy feeling, though not as bad as yesterday. Hopefully by tomorrow that will be gone. Yesterday, after some technical issues, I was able to get kickboxing done. Took pup on a nice walk, and managed at least 250 steps every hour from 7am to 5pm (Fitbit). Then kiddos wanted to take the pup on another walk after dinner which I obliged to. Fasted 17 hours, drank over 90 oz water. Suuuuper tired this morning so skipping kickboxing and just taking the pup for a walk. Not sure what lunch will be, choices limited but no grocery shopping until after we return from the coast. Should have some frozen veggies in the deep freeze to work with. Work will be busy today so focusing on water and hitting step goal in between meetings.

Previous Day's Comments6/11 - Shocked by this. We tried a new pizza place that we ALWAYS forget exists (a little hole in the wall). It was delicious, super filling, and even cheaper than our usual for 5! We will definitely be going back there. I expected to be up since I was stuffed on pizza, didn't get a workout in, and spent a good chunk of the day sitting between 1hr commute to work, sitting in morning training, 1 hr commute home, then 2 more hour-long meetings (on the computer so couldn't walk during). Did manage to get steps in between, though, and surpassed my step goal (currently set at 7200). Fasted 17 hours, drank 90 oz water. Today, despite being my day off, I woke up 10 minutes later than I normally do for work so I decided to save myself and get up. If I went back to sleep, I'd probably have a headache, be groggy, and feel horrid. Stupid oversleeping... Gave me time to knock out my kickboxing workout and take the pup for a walk before it got hot (BF decided to start walking recently to help with sleep and took her last night to make up for me being gone in the morning)
6/12 - Likely sodium blimp from homemade beef lo mein. Also TOM should be here within a few days so I expected a jump up. Hopefully TOM and all the bloating that comes with will be gone by next weekend before we head to the Gulf. Feeling pretty good with the progress in the mirror. Fasted 15 hours, drank 90 oz water. took pup on 2 walks and finished my kickboxing yesterday. Today we are working on the land before heading to my Godson and Goddaughter's combined birthday party (private family parties are on their actual birthdays, Goddaughter's on the 1st and Godson's on the 17th). Tomorrow we will head to the river to cool off and relax for the first time this year. Finally getting warm enough!
6/13 - This....is weird. Didn't track fasting but know I broke it early before heading to the land. Busted my butt working on the land though no formal exercise. Managed 90 oz water but also a few drinks. I'm happy with it. Especially if we do make it out to the river to swim today. Hope it sticks around (or even gets better) for next weekend. No sign of TOM or even pre-TOM bloat. Hoping it comes and goes before the weekend
6/14 - No hugs needed. This is a bit of dehydration, a bit of Mexican food for dinner, and a bit of bloat (likely combination of food and pre-TOM). Totally and completely expected. Back at it today, already changed into workout clothes. Knocking out my kickboxing as soon as my morning meeting is over, then take the pup for a walk before it gets too hot for her but once it's bright enough for me to feel comfortable. My water cup is filled and ready. I'm determined to bounce back by Friday. I know I can do it as long as I stay on track (:

I'm Mike. I am here for the happy hour specials. Slowly chipping away at weight. HW was 252, GW is 200.
6/11 236.1. Finished last round with a nice down trend and so of course I get to start this round with an up-bounce. Lots of sodium for dinner (meat lovers pizza) and a beer. I'll get that tended to quickly.
6/12 236.1. The struggle is eternal.
6/13 travel day
6/14 travel day
6/15 236.0. Again, decent weekend management on net. But my blood sugar was very high this morning. That suggests that what I am eating is not calorie-massive but relatively high in carbs. (The other explanation would be that I am getting a lot of exercise in the car but come on....) Time for a walk if I can get caught up at work by lunch time.
6/16 235.2. Blood sugar....194. I stared at the meter in disbelief, thought back to last night. A light dinner, no snacking. WTF? Then it hit me.... for the first time in probably a decade, I had simply forgotten to take my insulin last night. STUPID. And a 194 reading in the morning means it was likely over 300 overnight. I am only alive in 2021 because I agreed to a bargain with modern chemistry -- I eat right and inject a chemical cocktail into my body several times a day, and in exchange I get to live longer. I wonder how many brain cells, kidney cells, liver cells, heart cells, retina cells died last night because I failed to hold up my end of the bargain? GOT to do better. Weight is irrelevant compared to blood sugar management. Come on Michael, we are better than this.

Not close to a screen this weekend, so I am catching up with the last three entries. This number would have been larger if not for 3 hours of shooting sporting clays on Saturday under a boiling sun. I am sure some evaporation happened. 😊
It is Flag Day here in the U.S.! I am flying the colors!
6/15: 211.0
Starting to plan for the weekend. DW’s family reunion weekend, which includes a postponed Saturday funeral for an aunt who died in January; The actual reunion picnic on Saturday night; and we are hosting a party Friday night for DW’s cousins (25 of us all in our 50’s -70’s.) I will be smoking some pork shoulder for pulled pork sandwiches.
All of it centered around food. I am sure I will not feel the slightest hunger pang for three days.

She's still tearing around and I can't find anything specific wrong with that foot or leg, so I am massaging it (she enjoys that because she's a big sookie). Found a little gooseberry bush to dig up this fall, and managed to pick up 28 (I am not making that up) ticks all on my own. Also started week 3 of c25k, where one has to "run" for 3 minutes straight for the first time, three times. I thought this would kill me but it wasn't too bad. The third round of a 3-minute jog was definitely harder than the first though! Giving myself the day off today and just going on short dog walks, as it's going to start raining soon and I am just plain tired!)11 -

My scale readings bounced up 4 pounds when I changed batteries, so I didn’t suddenly gain 4+ pounds. I didn’t want to write that down but, other than the horror of a heavier weight, what difference does it make? So I’m going with the new readings, dammit.

Off to do some weight training — laying brick edging in my gardens. 😁

Happy Saturday!

I’m so tempted to go back to the very low calorie level I was eating three years ago for dietitian- prescribed elimination diet. I lost weight fast, but I know that’s what screwed up my metabolism and got me at least partly to where I am now. Maybe a week on, week off? I’m fed up, so to speak. Happy for those of you who are doing better!
6/14 - 188.8 - 1777
It’s a gorgeous morning here. I’m torn between digging in the edging on my gardens or heading out for a long walk along the river. Hmmm. Maybe edging this morning, walk this afternoon. As long as I’m outdoors, I’m happy!

6/14-DNW-Feeling a bit puffy after the weekend. Walked a couple miles after dinner. Busy day; should get exercise.
6/15-167-Heavy but healthy dinner. Garden Club pot luck at the park before we disburse for summer; hopefully I will not eat too much crap.9 -
@_JeffreyD_ Reunions are the BEST and the WORST! My DH’s family used to have one every summer around the 4th of July but since there is only 1 of my MIL’s siblings left and COVID last year, we have heard nothing. The younger generations are too busy. It’s sad. I miss seeing the families getting together. That said, our own family (2 daughters, spouses and kids) all got together on Memorial weekend for the first time in 13 years! It was WONDERFUL!

SW Rnd 153 115.0
6/11 115.0 Honestly, I’m surprised. I was sick and lost my dinner last night and this morning my FBS was the highest it’s ever been - 113. I guess I’ll see what tomorrow brings. Throbbing headache so not looking at the message board yet.
6/12 113.5 Pretty much fasted yesterday as I was barely awake. 5 saltines and 1/2 slice of toast, seltzer, Coke Zero (for caffeine,) and water. I seem to have recovered. I’ve been up almost 2 hours and still working on first mug of coffee.😊 Feeling almost like myself again and I’m hungry but hungry for weird stuff that should probably not be put in a recently upset tummy!
6/13 115.5 Totally expected since I’m sure I was dehydrated after “losing my lunch” on Thursday night. Neighbor made Filipino food for the one meal I ate yesterday but I really didn’t eat much. I drank 2 20 oz Powerade Zeros, a liter of tonic water with some True Lime, and at least 3 30 oz glasses of water.
6/14 116.0 Great Greek for lunch yesterday. Ate 1/2 of my salad and gyro meat and 1/2 pita. It’s all good. After both of us having some stomach bug in the last few days, I’m skipping water fitness today.
6/15 116.0 Finished my salad and gyro but have had no TMI since Friday.7 -

Day/Weight/Comment
06/10 …..203.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
06/11 …..203.2 ….. The carry-out for a quick late dinner was horrible. I literally threw away 80% of it and I am proud that this old gal who grew up pretty poor (never waste food!) put it in the trash can and moved on with some cold water and a good TV program. A non-scale victory for sure! Good luck everyone this round. Let’s make the most of these next 10 days together!
06/12 …..205.2 ….. A big gain. Thai food within calories but no TMI. Probably some water retention as well.
06/13 …..203.4 ….. Back to the 203’s after TMI cooperated. I’m grateful yesterday’s weight was not permanent. Handyman here today to do some gardening that is difficult for me. My internet was down yesterday most of the day until 8:00 this morn. 2nd time this week. I’ll be doing lots of sitting catching up on paperwork. I will try to get in as many step breaks as possible.
06/14 …..201.8 ….. Yay! Lower than I’ve been since before Covid shut-downs March 2020. I must admit it was about an 800 calorie day yesterday. It was hot and I just didn’t feel like eating. I ended up throwing out about 80% of my low cal/low carb dinner. Today I will increase the calories and carbs (an uptick is on the horizon for tomorrow?) but will make all healthy choices so It’s not empty calories. Lets hope I can keep this ball rolling!
06/15 …..202.0 ….. Just the slight uptick I was expecting when getting my calories back in order. I am thrilled this lower weight is sticking around. I am traveling today so there will be less movement and more calories (restaurant dinner) but I am not about to lose my sight on Onederland. I am feeling pretty proud of myself right now.

Goal weight for this round: Get to the 115 range hopefully…fingers crossed!
Previous days6/11 116.2 Started my day with a 20 minute bike ride and didn’t get a chance to get my walk in. Also, hank you TOM and salt and strength workouts for water retention blip up. I’m really happy I saw 115 last round and hope to see it again this round. I plan on seeing this number drop soon because we just got 2 bunches of parsley in our CSA today and I plan on making a large parsley heavy tabouleh salad to munch on tomorrow and Sunday. I also swapped spinach for a giant head of green leaf lettuce, so there will be some other salads in my future. The parsley will be a nice natural diuretic along with some dandelion tea I plan on sipping throughout as well. Oh, how I love the summer greens starting up 😊! I missed the last two days of posting the last round due to insanity at work but today seemed to be more tolerable…so that was nice. Tonight, I got Thai Masaman curry takeout but ordered it with beef and extra veggies and sticky rice ( you get less rice when you order the sticky rice instead of Jasmine). I put half of it in my bowl and saved the other half for a meal tomorrow. I just felt like I needed the nourishing coconut milk and spices. I’ve been pretty hungry this week and I’m listening to my body by trying to give it a little bit more food than normal. Maybe it’s the hormones doing wacky things to my appetite but I’ll go with it versus fighting it and being a hungry & grumpy person. Enjoy your Friday night!6/15 115.8 And the water weight drop begins again 😊. Hoping to see 114 before we leave for vacation in about 12 days. Started the day with a 20 minute spin bike workout and plan to go for a walk during lunch today. Split chicken breasts and salad for dinner tonight along with some sort of roasted veggies.
6/12 Haven’t weighed yet this morning. I plan to start the day with a strength workout and then do some things around the house like dishes, make a healthy version of apple crisp, make salad, and wash our greens from the CSA. My husband and I might also kick the soccer ball around later as well.
6/13 Did not post.
6/14 116.4 Salt? Strength training? Not sure but I’m cool with it. My food yesterday was so so but not terrible. Today my food has been on point so I’m sure some of this water weight will drop eventually. I started my day with a two mile run, went for a two mile walk during my lunch and did a strength workout at the end of my work day (about 20 minutes and 6 1 minute sprints on the bike as a burnout at the end for 12 minutes total on the bike). The burnout is part of the strength program and is supposed to increase something in a good way. Supposedly results are better when it’s done that way. Anyways, dinner tonight is American Chop Suey with whole wheat penne and mybe some local strawberries for dessert.

6/15: 184 (went for a walk without the dogs yesterday, since it was very hot, too hot for the black chiweenie and the blonde and white girl seems to have a bit of a limp, so I thought I'd give her the day off. She's still tearing around and I can't find anything specific wrong with that foot or leg, so I am massaging it (she enjoys that because she's a big sookie). Found a little gooseberry bush to dig up this fall, and managed to pick up 28 (I am not making that up) ticks all on my own. Also started week 3 of c25k, where one has to "run" for 3 minutes straight for the first time, three times. I thought this would kill me but it wasn't too bad. The third round of a 3-minute jog was definitely harder than the first though! Giving myself the day off today and just going on short dog walks, as it's going to start raining soon and I am just plain tired!)
With all these ticks, do you wear long pants and sleeves so the ticks are not latching onto you? Ticks give me the creepy crawlies especially with the deer ticks we have in Massachusetts. I would be so worried about the yuck/illness that can come along with ticks.4 -

80oz water; row 30 mins, most days; free-weights; eat vegetables/fruit; 1200 to 1500 calories; IF most days; no sugar; temporary elimination of wheat
SW: 176.4
Previous posts6/11 - 176.3 NSV: I've worked from home for over 20 years and have lived in sweat pants way too much and also allows for weight to creep up without realizing it. Today it was cooler and I put them on and they were loose. You know something is going right when your elastic waisted pants are getting bigger! LOL
6/12 - 175.9 - I had to check myself this morning for the past few days. I was starting to swap wheat products for corn products. My slim and can-eat-only-one-cookie husband is also temporarily eliminating wheat and he decided maybe nacho corn chips would replace his pretzels for a while. Well, he eats 2 chips and says, yuk, these are too greasy and salty and doesn't eat any more. Well, you know how that story ends...I step in and eat them all, but the good news is I was able to spread them out over a few days where the old me would have eaten the entire bag, and eaten everything else in the house because I felt like I "blew" it. The same with popcorn, I wasn't sticking to 1 serving (and too much butter and salt), so, I was ending up within my calorie range but with 700 of my calories from chips and popcorn and shaky and starving. And it felt like I was slipping toward a full-fledge binge. Chips are now gone and going back to "my plan" that has been working and why I have been feeling so good!! I even noticed my ankles were starting to swell again. BTW, my sweet husband said he shouldn't have bought them instead of thinking I should have been able to handle it. He knows my problem and is so supportive.
Thank you for letting me air this out here, it helps so much!!
6/11 - 176.3
6/12 - 175.9
6/13 - 175.4 weighed later than usual so we'll see if it sticks around tomorrow
6/14 - 175.6 VERY happy with this weight this morning! I weighed at my usual time and still mid 175's. I think I can say I'm solidly there even if it jumps around for a few days - YAY!
6/15 - 175.3 Increased my calories yesterday and going forward. A problem I NEVER have had is too few calories. However, temporarily eliminating wheat (not all carbs, just wheat - I still eat potatoes, oatmeal, etc.,) and milk for the first time, and the fact I'm never hungry in the mornings and stop eating by 6p each day, (AND I got rid of the corn chips
), my calories are lower than they need to be, especially on the days I row/free-weights. A better problem to have than the way I used to be starving by the end of the day, but too few calories is not a healthy way to lose it either.
