6/25-- 216.8
6/26-- 216.8 The weekend of birthday goodies have already started and though I want to mindful, I want to also enjoy myself and not feel like I can't eat what I love. I've changed my way of eating--not restricted myself. So, I will not pout over any upticks from now to the end of the round.
6/27 ***MY BIRTHDAY!!!***---215.8 --I went outside yesterday to get away from the temptations in the house and 4 hours later, my boxwoods had been trimmed, a few straggler weeds had been pulled and my mulch had been turned to refresh it. As always, I didn't mean to stay out there that long but, I just lose all track of time when I go out in the yard because it's so therapeutic. On the other hand, thanks to my LONG outdoor workout, I was pleasantly surprised when I stepped on the scale this morning and saw that I had reached my personal goal that I assumed I would not reach-- 35 pounds down or at 215 pounds (don't care about the .8 lol). Feels good to have reached my goal and celebrate being here another year to see my birthday with all that we've gone through the past year.

June focus: maintain weight < 150
- I have been maintaining since November 2019
- This is coming up to 16 months so far
- I have gradually worked my way down to being consistently under 145 lbs
- Working on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
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 154 🔹Posting weight and comments each evening.- 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.- 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.

6/21 - 182 - been here for over a week - but I'm patient -LOL
6/22 - 182 - need to go food shopping today. I’m glad at least that it’s supposed to be a bit cooler - now I don’t mind using the stove because otherwise it makes the house too hot. Going to try to get some meals pre cooked and ready to eat for the rest of the week! Also have a doc appointment - my physical and get to see the results of my blood work. Hope you all have a Great Day.
6/23 - 182 - I feel good about my food choices and activity level.
6/24 - 182 - I was so tired yesterday I didn’t do any exercises. Hope to have my energy back today. Hope you all have a lovely day.
6/25 - 182 - I did get my energy back yesterday and did my exercises. My exercises are at least 30 min on the elliptical for cardio, and some hip strengthening and stretch exercises. Also kept to my calorie count. Have a great day.
6/26 - 182 - Hooray it’s the weekend! Hopefully we’ll do something fun/different today. I’m hoping for pool and outdoor walking (as opposed to indoor mall walking.) Enjoy your day!
6/27 - 182 - No access to a scale this morning. But, it’s a pretty sure bet I’m still at the same weight.

Stomach issues continuing, which gives me rare fatigue. But my motivation & spirits are getting much better. I time today to really let myself relax & chill. VERY rare that I do this, but clearly I am at least partially sick & they always say to rest. I guess sometimes that’s the best self-care.
Hi @tiabirdie56 So GREAT to see you, my friend🎉 I hope all is going well for you!
@deepwoodslady Congratulations on the 19x.x’s.
Both of you are VERy inspiring!

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ Round 154 (round 86 for me ) I continue to prove time after time that I need this to help me keep on track! Thank you @QuiltingJaine for setting up the new challenge.
Challenge for this round is again to work back towards maintanence – any loss will be a win! A full 10 days before our next week away in the caravan, want to make it count ! 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 in roadmap to normality for C-19 virus. Be positive for thefuture – I've both of my vaccines.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 achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!!

Day/Weight/Comment
6/21 134.4 – 8.48 miles walked yesterday, a really good food day which reflects in the number on the scales, a good start to the round. UK was supposed to have all covid restrictions lifted today, but due to increased spread of Delta variant it has been delayed by 4 weeks, as long as we don't go backwards!
6/22 135.2 – not such a good day yesterday, DDIL taken ill and I dropped everything to drive up to take care of 2 year old DGD; we had a whale of a time at their local city farm & playground & had lunch out, but no structured walking & again scale reflects! (DDIL fine now).
6/23 137.2 ughh needless to say I had a BAD day yesterday, but did walk 11.7 miles, I need to be consistant!
6/24 135.2 – 10.52 miles walked yesterday & as scale shows a good food day, need to keep consistant today!
6/25 135.2 – no structured walking yesterday as caring for 2 little DGC hence 30 calories over, but a reasonable day of choices.
6/26 134.2 – 9.86 miles walked yesterday, good food day staying within calories.
6/27 135 - drove out to Church Stretton and was up on the Long Mynd for a lovely 11.59 mile walk = see the photo's, but they do not do the views justice!!
6/28 133.6 – well how things can change in 24 hours! I was contacted to say I had been in contact with someone who had tested positive for covid, I took a test feeling perfectly fine and I'm positive too !! So both myself and DH have to self isolate until 8th July, we were supposed to go on holiday for a week 2nd, that's now cancelled! And as the day passed I started to develop cold symptoms. Beacause I knew early in the day I couldn't walk, I replanned; we normally have a 3 course Sunday lunch (within calories) and then a light evening meal, I did main course for lunch and then starter & desert for our evening meal and I'm very happy with number on the scale. Within calories. When I start to feel better I will do jogging on the spot in my garage, but at the moment don't feel up to it.

Hi I weigh in kg and also record my happy scale trend. My maintenance goal weight is 52kg although I am happy to be a bit below to allow for indulgences!
Goal for this round is stay below 52kg with Happy Scale trend below 51.5kg. EW for round 153 = 51.1 HS trend 51.1kg
Mon 21 51.2 trend 51.2 😊⬆️
Tue 22 51.0 trend 51.1 😊 ⬇️ I’ve deliberately been between 51.0 and 51.3 for some time and fluctuations now show very quickly on the trend weight.
Wed 23 50.5 trend 50.9 😊 ⬇️ I don’t know where that drop came from and don’t expect it to stay!
Thu 24 50.5 trend 50.8 😊 ⬇️ I’m surprised not to have popped back up.
Fri 25 50.9 trend 50.8 😊 ↔️ As expected
Sat 26 51.1 50.9 😊 ⬆️ Weight is returning to where I expect it to be.
Sun 27 51.3 trend 51 😊 ⬆️ Plenty of wine and pizza for dinner last night 😊
Mon 28 51.8 trend 51.2 ⬆️ Weight is up and I think it’s the pizza and bread over the weekend. This has been an up and down round so far and it’s time to stop the up part of the trend. 👿

I noticed that you usually walk 10-12 miles each day. Could you help me understand your routine so that I too might be able to one day reach a goal like that? How long does it take usually? I'm currently at 2-3 miles per day and sometimes I do 5-6 but the heat at this time of year gets to me plus I walk so slow at this weight. Currently I'm at about a 3 mile / hr rate which I'm hoping speeds up as the weight goes down.
I am retired so don't have work to fit my walks around, in fact I almost consider my walking as the job that I love and am able to plan them around other commitments. I walk for a least 3 hours each day, sometimes in one go other times in 2 , 3 or even 4 seperate walks depending on what commitments I have for that day. I walk everywhere, very rarely using the car, if, where I need to get to is within 5 miles, don't have to carry anything that is too heavy, time restrains allow and finally it isn't raining! Then I will walk there and back. If I'm meeting up for lunch or the rain is coming in later in the morning I'll get out at 6.30 or 7 am!
I'm lucky that DH also likes walking so where as in the week I walk locally from home (pounding the pavements!) at weekends we get out to some lovely country walks with a picnic.
I love my walking, it's when I do my planning, reflecting, problem solving, meditating and really appreciating nature. For the next 10 days of my self isolation I will be going stir crazy not being able to get out walking!! Plan on sorting out my rockery, hoping that my DSs will do a doorstop drop of suitable cutting of plants from their gardens !! And plenty video calls with my 4 little DGC, two and a half year old already wanted to show me her new socks that she was wearing yesterday - I shall miss them. They live 58 & 87 miles away, but I do normally travel up to see them once per week.5 -

No I haven't. will get hold of a copy and read it.
We do love the old paths and always discuss how long they've been there, what they were used for and the fact that we are walking in the footsteps of people in history. I confess I'm not that much of a great reader, don't seem to have that much time ?! But do like a good read when I'm on holiday, so that's on my list !!2 -

This is my first round and I'm really excited to do this!! I'm learning how to navigate the app and the website. I am glad that I found this on here, because I am always better when I have to hold myself accountable. Anyway, thanks for having me guys. I have no friends on here yet, so feel free to add me and I will add you back. Thanks again, and good luck everyone!!

6/24–228.8 ~ was super excited about this, did the gym twice and have walked at least a mile and a half everyday this week.
6/25–just joined and will weigh in again tomorrow. thanks so much again everyone. keep up the good work.
6/26– 229.2
6/27– 229.0 ~ while I'm not super thrilled about the number, I have been eating more protein and going to the gym. I don't want a lot of muscle mass, but muscle burns fat. It also weighs more then fat. I'm excited for the energy that I now have and just the general better mood that all the walking and exercise has given. Still quite a less weight then when I started to take this pretty serious about a month or so ago!

Thank you @quiltingjaine
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 150: -1.9
Round 151: -2.0
Round 152: -2.6
Round 153: -1.6
Round 154 Goals: 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. Use the knowledge I've gained over the last rounds (and years). I know my triggers and I know what works!!
SW End of 153: 174.8
6/21 - 174.6
6/22 - 174.9
6/23 - 174.7 Hanging out around the same weight for 6 days just means I'll see a bigger drop when it happens, right? Right!
6/24 - 173.7 It's nice to see 173.X.
6/25 - 173.2 Hit my goal for this round even though it might fluctuate a little over the next days. I'm so happy to hit 173.2. This was my lowest weight on MFP and this challenge before I gained some of it back, stopped posting and then gained all of it back. Even though I hate to focus on a specific catch-up weight because it feels so defeating at times, I can't help it and it feels so good to be back at this weight. I am extremely motivated at the moment, not only from weight loss but the changes I'm seeing from all my healthy habits. I am now laser-focused on the 160's!!
6/26 - 172.5 - I was hesitant to post this weight because I'm a little late weighing this morning and it will most likely go back up some over the next few days, which will be perfectly normal. I'm not marking 173 off my "Good Riddance" list just yet
6/27 - 172.0 I'm glad I've learned not to get frustrated and give up when the scale stays around the same number days/weeks because a drop is around the corner if you hold on. I guess I can officially mark 173 off my "Good Riddance" list, even if I do jump a bit before the round ends.
6/28 - 172.1 Even though I do IF almost every day, my calories stay around the same. For the past week, I've been changing up the number of calories each day. I know lots of people do this including people mentioning it here. I read this is calorie/carb cycling and keeps from negative hormonal and metabolic changes when reducing calories. I also did a query on MFP and people have different opinions about it on whether it helps you lose weight. Anyway, it makes sense to me so for the past week I've been changing it up. My average calories for the week still falls within my calorie range of 1200 to 1500. The past few days have been the lower range and the next few days I'm going to do the higher range so we'll see if my weight fluctuates up as well. I read that if you are going to calorie/carb cycle that you have to be prepared for a little more fluctuation and not to get bummed out.
6/29
6/30 - GW: 173.2 New GW: By the end of the round, still be 173.2 or less.

6/28 - 146.9 - Really surprised. My tummy still hurts from yesterday and super bloated. Something at our late lunch (so late we didn't eat dinner) did NOT sit well. Even now my leggings being slightly compressive on my tummy hurts. Think I'll skip kickboxing and do some yoga this week until this feeling goes away. Didn't successfully wake up at 515 like planned, but did wake up at 540 so progress. Need to get that down before end of week since starting Wednesday next week, I'm going into work -- a 4am wakeup to commute! Ick, not a morning person. I can function, but I don't like it. Plus, I've found through sleep studies, I get my best sleep in the morning. My body's circadian clock is offset (circadian rhythm disorder) and I sleep better from about 1-3am until about 9-11am (depending on how tired I am). I'm doing online CBT-Insomnia to help as I also am diagnosed with that as well. Hopefully my body will adjust quickly! Also, while I'm commuting, I likely won't fit in my kickboxing. I work 10hour days and with traffic, likely won't get home until about 7-8pm. Just enough time to eat, shower, and go to bed for the early next morning. Ugh. Will try to get in lunch walks. I know work will keep me walking, too.

Previous Day's Comments6/21 - Wow, thought I'd be in the 150s again after this weekend. Super happy with this. Back to work so back to regularly scheduled life again. Water beside me full and ready for the rehydration process. Workout clothes on to knock out a workout. I'm still groggy and worn out so it'll probably be light as to not stress my body out. Dinner was late and I didn't check time when we finished. Will restart fasting after today when I end my feeding window for the night. Will fast today so long as I feel comfortable, though. Getting back on track and feeling tired but renewed to keep on this journey I've put myself on. PS - Even though I haven't been in the ocean since Saturday, I can still feel the waves if I sit really still. It's fantastic feeling
6/22 - A little progress is still progress! Got a little more than 90 oz water. Started fasting clock for today. Super sleepy still but going to make myself do kickboxing to help wake up before my training begins (9-2:30 behind a computer learning a system....yippee! Not so good when I'm feeling like I could fall asleep standing up). Doing my best to make it a good day, though.
6/23 - There we go, better progress. Got my kickboxing workout in though the walk with pup was cut short. Despite my super long training, I did get steps in and try to move around. Water was good. Maybe just a touch shy but we went out to eat and I'm not sure the exact oz measurement of their cups. Off to another good day. Dressed in workout clothes to start off with so I can knock out another workout (I'm dreading it but I know I'll thank myself after).
6/24 - Down we go. I HOPE I can see last round's "EW" again. Woke up an hour earlier than normal to knock out my kickboxing. BF will be up early for an early meeting and my day starts with an earlier than normal meeting as well. It was either get up earlier to knock it out or skip it today. I woke up early for a workout, WHO AM I?! In about 2 weeks I'll be waking up super early (4am...currently waking up normally at 6am) to physically go into work so I guess 5am today isn't so bad. It's prep for work! Fasted 16.5 hours yesterday, drank my 90 oz water. Got kickboxing and slightly shorter walk with pup done (0.75 mi vs 1 mi). Just finished kickboxing for today so time to wake up the daughter to see if she's running and get the pup for a walk while on my morning meeting
6/25 - Sodium, I believe. We had homemade nachos last night and tortilla chips usually do me in with sodium. Only drank about 70-75 oz water. Oh well, back on it today.
6/26 - Surprised to be down as much as I am. Somewhat late night for me including alcohol which usually causes a bit of bloat. I'll take it! Not quite enough water, but about 70oz again. Haven't been fasting well lately, I'm going through a hunger phase. Listening to my body (within reason) and the extra calories seem to be helping, not hurting.
6/27 - I was being extra lazy and didn't want to go through the process of my weigh-in this morning. Still feeling very sleepy

@musicsax - Thank you for all the insights! I'm retired now as well and started the daily walks but have not gotten into the longer stretches. I do walk to the library and postoffice which are only 2 miles roundtrip, and we do have lovely long paths throughout our neighborhood area that I take our standard poodle on. I like your idea if you can walk to it you do that instead of a car. In the US we are so auto minded! I need to flip that switch in my mind since there are groceries, retail stores, restaurants, church, etc easily within a 2-3 mile radius of my home. My volunteering for English is second language (ESL) for adults at the church starts back up in September and before Covid I walked to it 2x per week. I need to think about other places to walk as well.
As you say ... I too have the time since I'm retired too! Thank you for the inspiration!
As to COVID. I'm so sorry that you were exposed. I hope that you have no more than the cold symptoms (I think I remember that you already were able to get the vaccine which lessens the effects). Now you have me wondering if this sinus/cold symptoms I have after my Hot Springs mini vacation is really an exposure to COVID since Arkansas is not highly vaccinated and no masks were required anywhere. hmmmm might need to get tested myself.2 -

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
6/21 206.4 Walked 2 miles, gardening, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
6/22 206.6 Walked .6 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Lawyer for my mom to update her will, book club, and packing for our trip! Busy day yesterday.
6/23 DNW @ Girls Road Trip w/ mom & sis long car ride, no exercise, restaurant meals this week! ? cal, ? net carbs, 1 glass wine.
6/24 DNW @ Girls Road Trip w/ mom & sis Walked 2 miles Garvan Gardens, pizza & 1 beer for lunch at Grateful Head. Cheese, grapes, nuts, 3 wine and leftover pizza for dinner as we watched the water activity, sunset and played dominos.
6/25 DNW @ Girls Road Trip w/ mom & sis Walked while shopping in downtown Hot Springs ~ 2 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Latin food (wonderful homemade tortillas used for quesadillas) at Rolando’s on the back patio w/ 1 margarita, then crab cake & fried okra at Fisherman’s Wharf. Too much food! Watched the sunset over the lake, played Skipbo & Spinner dominos on our last evening.
6/26 210.1 No exercise, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Whirlpool bath in the hot spring water, sauna and massage at Arlington Hotel before the 8 hour drive. Stopped in Jefferson at Kitt's Kornbread Sandwich & Pie Bar for Cornbread Sandwich (Turkey, Ham, Cheese, Purple Onion, Tomato, Mayo, Mustard on Jalapeño Cornbread ... also could have selected the Broccoli Cornbread or Plain Cornbread). In addition ordered chicken dumplings and sugar free coconut cream pie. Then DH had Popeye’s fried chicken waiting for me when I got home for a late dinner. YIKES! 3.5 lb gain over that short vacation! I did not snack with my mom & sister during the vacation … they eat ALL the time. But still the meals were a killer of course it was my choice what to order and I chose poorly. Time to get things back under control and reel the gains back in.
6/27 207.3 Walked 3.2 miles, 1521 cal, 43 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Feeling either a sinus headache or cold coming on last night and then slept 10 hrs. Hope today I’ll feel much better. No more ? for my food intake this week is the plan. Back to journaling everything!

Day/Weight/Comment
6/21 - 182 - been here for over a week - but I'm patient -LOL
6/22 - 182 - need to go food shopping today. I’m glad at least that it’s supposed to be a bit cooler - now I don’t mind using the stove because otherwise it makes the house too hot. Going to try to get some meals pre cooked and ready to eat for the rest of the week! Also have a doc appointment - my physical and get to see the results of my blood work. Hope you all have a Great Day.
6/23 - 182 - I feel good about my food choices and activity level.
6/24 - 182 - I was so tired yesterday I didn’t do any exercises. Hope to have my energy back today. Hope you all have a lovely day.
6/25 - 182 - I did get my energy back yesterday and did my exercises. My exercises are at least 30 min on the elliptical for cardio, and some hip strengthening and stretch exercises. Also kept to my calorie count. Have a great day.
6/26 - 182 - Hooray it’s the weekend! Hopefully we’ll do something fun/different today. I’m hoping for pool and outdoor walking (as opposed to indoor mall walking.) Enjoy your day!
6/27 - 182 - No access to a scale this morning. But, it’s a pretty sure bet I’m still at the same weight.
6/28 - 182 - Well, it was a few ounces lower, but I only do whole numbers. I’m thinking the next ten day round will be better. Just have to wait a bit longer.

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.

Month/Day: Exercise / Comment
6/21: 212.4
So, this is what it looks like the morning after. I should have no problem loosing during this round thanks to this high number. This is where averaging my 10-days makes more sense.
6/22: 210.8
Yesterday, I kept it “generally” “under control.”
6/23: 210.4
It is good to be back to “normal” after that weekend of cake-hole stuffing.

6/25: 210.8
Did not have time to post yesterday. I was feeling pretty good and then this morning’s reading threw me. Had to be the sodium because I ate below calories and had a nice long walk. (by “nice long walk” I don’t mean as far as @musicsax walks! Ha!)

Traveled four hours to see DD for the first time in 18 months. So, I did not log Saturdays reading until this morning. Had a nice time. She introduced us to two new eateries that were fantastic. Lunch on Saturday was a Mexican place. I mean Mexican, not taco bell or chi-chi’s. Supper was a farm to table butcher and restaurant. In between was a visit to the bakery where she works, for a cookie and some coffee. Yesterday was a bit more tame. That being said, I am happy with this morning’s reading. HA!
