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.

weight lost
round 150: 3.0
round 151: 3.0
round 152: 3.0
goal for round 153 is 2.5 pounds (looking for 184 on the scales)
6/11: 186.0 (great 2-h woods walk yesterday; it was extremely windy, windy enough to blow the blackflies and mosquitoes away, but not the ticks alas. Saw a few coyote tracks, but no bear tracks, but then I'm no Davy Crockett (king of the wild frontier - anybody else remember the music to that old television show? I think it starred Fess Parker) C25k today (doing the last day of repeated week 2), and fetching and stacking hay, and if I've got time, I'll work in at least an hour's woods walk.)
6/12: 185.0 (Another cool day but it looks like rain so that might screw up my planned 3-h woods walk. Mosquitoes were so bad last night when I went out for an hour's woods walk that I couldn't remove my mosquito jacket hood long enough to take a drink, for the buzzing swarm waiting eagerly just such an opening. I like to drink (water!) when I'm out walking because, well, it's an easy way to get 2-3 cups down me. Mares were disappointed in the new hay and ended up just spreading a bale around and taking an afternoon nap on it in the sunshine. Found edamame in the grocery store for the first time, and those little suckers (green soybeans, frozen in my store) are delicious and packed with nutrition. I added half a cup to my salad. They're keepers. Hope everybody has a great weekend.)
6/13: 185 (A pleasantly warm sunny day by the looks of it, but I think it's supposed to rain overnight. Was just out admiring my black mare shining in the sunshine this morning while she munched her morning carrot. She's in her mid twenties, but the picture of health and I am so very pleased that she has kept so well over the years and doesn't need to diet, unlike the other mare, the pinto, who perpetually appears to be overdue to have a foal. That pinto's apparently been pregnant for the entire 8 years I've owned her. Yep, she should be on MFP too. Though it wasn't too hot yesterday, I thought we'd be fine once we got into the deep woods of the long trail, but the mosquitoes were too much for the black chiweenie and we had to turn back. I am going to rig a white t-shirt for her today and see if that keeps her cooler and the bugs off her back. It won't be pretty. I don't know of any bug sprays that are safe for dogs. The mozzies really seem to like that little black dog (and me, of course, all the bugs want a piece of me).)
6/14: 184.5 (Scary encounter with deer; we stumbled upon a group of several deer and my foolish girls barked at them. Most scrambled away, but a buck kept tearing around us and would not back down and my girls would not come back to me and I was shrieking for them. He kept coming within 20' of me, on all sides, and I couldn't grab the girls. Only by luck did I get those dogs out of there without him attacking them. He stood staring me boldly in the eye before finally joining the rest of the deer. I know it was a buck because his antlers were starting to grow back in. Anyway, that really scared the crap out of me. I'm really quiet in the woods, but maybe that's not such a great idea when passing through dense woody patches. I am going to start singing to warn the deer off.)11 -

6/14 - 148.6 - 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 (:

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

I’m in! How do I start?
Welcome!!!! Just jump in! There's no rules on posting weight. Most of us post daily weight but I've seen a few who post beginning and end weights for each round, gains/losses only, every other day, etc. Whatever you feel comfortable with.
A lot of people will also post what's going on. If they met goals (calories, steps, water, exercise, etc. Whatever you want to set), life events that may have an impact (travel, visitors, renovations, etc). Some just post their weight and that's fine, too. I think even a few are in maintenance and still check in to help keep them on track (plus, it's such an amazing group, I plan on sticking around once I get to maintenance. This group has become my online family)
Some keep a separate document they edit before copying and pasting into a new post daily. I quote my previous post and edit from there. However will work best for you, we are 100% behind you and excited you're here (:
Also, don't be afraid to ask questions or inquire about something. I've learned SO MUCH in this group and everyone is so friendly.
Near the end of each round, @quiltingjaine has been kind enough to create a new thread and post the link. Keep an eye out for it to continue with us if you'd like!8 -
@nsv18 - Easy to start! Just weigh in daily and report in! You decide your mini goals and if you want to just post a weight or not and if you want to post a comment. Easy peasy. No real rules! Follow the thread has it changes to a new 10 day round throughout the year! It is great to have the accountability and support.
Some copy and paste from their last entry into the thread. I write in my notes app on the phone/computer and then copy and paste each day.

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; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

6/11 205.1 Walked 2.3 + 1.3 miles, 1450 cal, 83 net carbs, AF. Torchy’s Tacos ordering a Crossroads in a bowl + lettuce. The hardest part was not ordering a Torchy’s Tini! But I held firm to my promise to myself to target AF M-Th this week after returning from New Orleans vacation.
6/12 205.6 Walked 1.6 miles, danced,1558 cal, 82 net carbs, 1 glass wine. I did really pretty well considering we attended a 1 year anniversary party!
6/13 206.0 No exercise,1865 cal, 146 net carbs, 1 wine. Fast food burger & fries for late lunch. Made Charleston’s 82 Queens recipe for shrimp & grits this evening for all my kids and their spouses. Not surprised in the bump up

5/10: 183.1 - just 2.9 pounds off 186, my heaviest weight ever - (stopped posting on this challenge July 2020 - very glad to be back!)
Round 153
Goals: Above all, patience - don't think any further than 10 days at a time!
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!!

06/11 - 212lb. Ate late again last night, plus gym session and not enough water will probably be the reason for the gain.

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.

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. 😊

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.

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!

6/11--220.4 Worked out with trainer today.
6/12--218.9 Not surprised with the big drop, stomach was bothering me yesterday, so I didn't eat a lot. Plan today is to go out and do some trail walking with the puppy, may throw in a couple of running intervals. Planning to bbq some chicken today before it starts to rain.
6/13--217.3 Another really light day of eating yesterday because of my stomach, but my stomach feels so much better today and my weight will probably be up tomorrow. My hubby is having friends over today, first time since the shut down last year, so they will be in the basement playing games. I took the dog out for a walk before it started raining today, so I will be doing some things around the house upstairs.
6/I4--217.5 Stomach felt good yesterday and ate at my calorie goals. Today is trainer day.
