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.

It’s a lovely, cool morning after heavy rain yesterday. Perfect for pulling weeds! 😎
6/22 - 187.5 - 1476
Another gorgeous cool morning. I pulled a ton of weeds & grass yesterday (I don’t use chemicals), and today I’m digging in my brick edging around my flower beds. Then mulch. Then a nice walk. Wishing you all a lovely day.
6/23 - 187.7 - 1502
I’m trying hard not to notice my morning weigh-in # — up a pound - and just watch my moving average, but it’s hard. I can’t understand why I’m up. Average (and daily) calories are down from past rounds, and macros are right on target. I’m getting plenty of exercise. But ok, my moving average is pretty steady, so I guess I’ll get a drop soon. Still, discouraging. No hugs needed, just venting cuz DH doesn’t want to hear it. 😁
6/24 - 187.8 - 1439
Most of the big garden work is done (for now), so I’m planning more time walking some of the lovely paths in our area. One goal is to walk all 27 miles of our Rivergreenway system (not all at once, although that would be a great goal, but not possible because it branches). Anyway, that, plus we have 3 state parks, a number of land trust trails, and other great trails within reach, and the rest of the year to reach them. Another goal is to get back to running. I ran a half marathon 4 years ago, but haven’t run for the past three years. Time to get back to that. And I’m considering whether I could get myself out of bed early to swim laps at the Y in the 6-7 time slot when it’s very uncrowded. Maybe… I miss the salt-water pool I belonged to in NC — I swam 20 min of laps 3 times a week and loved it. Anyway, attitude adjustment after yesterday. Onward!
6/25 - 187.7 - 1647
Rainy day. I guess I have no choice but to stay in and vacuum. Uck. I don’t know why we can’t have self-cleaning floors. 🤓 I might go walk laps around Menard’s for a while. 🏃🏻♀️

I agree about the vacuuming, especially with our kitty and the litter that gets tracked around. It would be amazing if everything could just be magically absorbed into the floor and be gone forever lol.
You can get automatic robot vacuum cleaners (both DS & a friend have one), but they don't dust or clean walls !!
We’ve actually been thinking about getting one of those when we move in a month or so!3 -
Hi, I am in again. I seem to be still maintaining, altho I would like to be losing, lol.
Something I read that I need to remember...I am working toward health, not weight necessarily.
71 yr old 5'3" Original SW= 175 on 8-19-12.
Lost 25# and basically maintaining since. Would like to lose at least 15# more.

Good morning everyone!
I'm spending much of the weekend with friends at a flamenco festival, listening and discovering this wonderful Andalusian / Romani music and watching some amazing dancers. Three successive days of festive eating and drinking is proving a little challenging for the calorie management, but I think I did better yesterday than Friday.

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!! Good food choices, within calories.
I've included the last one as you can see some Duke of Edinburgh award youngsters in the distance and it gives an idea of the scale.

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– 229.0 headed to the gym again today.
6/27– 229.4 I am so not used to weighing myself everyday. Usually every 4 days or so. I feel like I get too obsessed with the number. But I've been going to the gym a few days and I'm well aware that muscle weighs more then fat... ugh. Anyway, I'm still proud of me and my results and the way I've been feeling so, yay!

First congrats on your progress and welcome to the group. You’ve had a great round so far! Weight loss isn’t linear and sometimes the fluctuating numbers can be tough. If it’s too much please feel free to not weigh every day. There are some rounds I skip weighing for multiple days. The best part of this group is that there aren’t any rules except to do what you want for ten days. Keep up the great work 🙂ashlymcdonald12 wrote: »Highest (2020) 250

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– 229.0 headed to the gym again today.
6/27– 229.4 I am so not used to weighing myself everyday. Usually every 4 days or so. I feel like I get too obsessed with the number. But I've been going to the gym a few days and I'm well aware that muscle weighs more then fat... ugh. Anyway, I'm still proud of me and my results and the way I've been feeling so, yay!

If you’ve been getting back into strength training/ working out you can retain water because the micro damage to your muscles caused by working out holds onto water to help with the healing process...so that could be a cause of the slight increase. People say muscle weighs more than fat but a pound of fat weighs the same as a pound of muscle. A pound of muscle just takes up less space in your body so that’s why a person who weighs 150 with more muscle mass can appear leaner than someone who weighs 150 but has more fat mass.

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!

@musicsax - Love the pictures. Looks like a great place to walk/hike!
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.2 -
In again! I'd be lost without this group

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.

It’s a lovely, cool morning after heavy rain yesterday. Perfect for pulling weeds! 😎
6/22 - 187.5 - 1476
Another gorgeous cool morning. I pulled a ton of weeds & grass yesterday (I don’t use chemicals), and today I’m digging in my brick edging around my flower beds. Then mulch. Then a nice walk. Wishing you all a lovely day.
6/23 - 187.7 - 1502
I’m trying hard not to notice my morning weigh-in # — up a pound - and just watch my moving average, but it’s hard. I can’t understand why I’m up. Average (and daily) calories are down from past rounds, and macros are right on target. I’m getting plenty of exercise. But ok, my moving average is pretty steady, so I guess I’ll get a drop soon. Still, discouraging. No hugs needed, just venting cuz DH doesn’t want to hear it. 😁
6/24 - 187.8 - 1439
Most of the big garden work is done (for now), so I’m planning more time walking some of the lovely paths in our area. One goal is to walk all 27 miles of our Rivergreenway system (not all at once, although that would be a great goal, but not possible because it branches). Anyway, that, plus we have 3 state parks, a number of land trust trails, and other great trails within reach, and the rest of the year to reach them. Another goal is to get back to running. I ran a half marathon 4 years ago, but haven’t run for the past three years. Time to get back to that. And I’m considering whether I could get myself out of bed early to swim laps at the Y in the 6-7 time slot when it’s very uncrowded. Maybe… I miss the salt-water pool I belonged to in NC — I swam 20 min of laps 3 times a week and loved it. Anyway, attitude adjustment after yesterday. Onward!
6/25 - 187.7 - 1647
Rainy day. I guess I have no choice but to stay in and vacuum. Uck. I don’t know why we can’t have self-cleaning floors. 🤓 I might go walk laps around Menard’s for a while. 🏃🏻♀️
6/26 - 187.6 - 1663
Creeping, but in the right direction! I’m planning very low-cal meals because I’m making rhubarb-ginger crisp for dessert — one of my favorite recipes in my mom’s ancient cookbook. Mmmmm. I’m hoping to get a walk in between rain storms. It rained all day yesterday — garden is happy! Good day to yank up some weeds. Have a lovely Saturday, all!
6/27 - 187.9 - 1710
My daily calories were 1420 yesterday (even with the rhubarb-ginger crisp!) but my average over the past week is what matters, and explains the slight bump up in average weight. Tracking averages/trends is helping my attitude a lot. 😁 So does this bunch of lavender from my garden — the fragrance! Enjoy!

Round 153 SW: 220.4 EW: 216.2 (-4.2)
Round 154 SW: 216.2
Day/Weight/Comment
6/21--215.6 Yesterday was warm out, so other than going to my trainer I didn't do much else. Yesterday was a high calorie/high carb day, so I won't be surprised if there is a tick up in the scale tomorrow. Back to regular calories/carbs today. Plan is to go out and take dog for walks while it's still cool outside.
6/22--215.3 Took dog out to the trails yesterday evening. It was warm and humid in the forest and instead of a 1mile walk, it ended up being a 3 mile walk. The ice cream bar I ate when I came back home was so good.
6/23--216.2 There is the uptick in the scale that I was expecting yesterday. Today is going to be a little cooler, so my plan is to go out for a long walk today.
6/24--216.2 Holding steady. Did not go out for a walk yesterday, by the time I went to sleep last night I realized that I had rarely been outside yesterday, work has been crazy. Today I am going to make sure that I go outside and get active.
6/25--214.9 There goes the drop from the uptick for the past 2 days. hopefully the drop will continue. Trainer day today.
6/26--214.5 It's going to be hot today. A friend and I are going on a road trip to the coast. I am bringing my puppy and this will be the first time she's seen any body of water, can't wait to see how she reacts.
6/27--215.1 Definitely enjoyed myself at the beach yesterday and definitely went over my calories, so not surprised about the uptick in weight. Trainer day today.

Hi Sheila - Within this reply about the floors, I can't help but be curious to know about your travels or living in both Kuwait and Tunisia. I might have missed it before if you've mentioned this but would you mind if I ask about your travels? I'm sure there are many people here who have interesting stories to tell.... Thanks, Debra
Sure! I studied Arabic in Cairo (Egypt) in 1974 (and in college) and then taught for 2 years at the University of Tunis (Tunisia) through the Peace Corps in 1776-78. In 1882, I was beginning work on my PhD dissertation (on the concept of honor, particularly as invested in women, in the Middle East, and went to teach English, do some research, and write at the University of Kuwait for 18 months. I was lucky to be able to travel as well in other countries of the ME during that relatively blissful time before all the crap started — Algeria, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and, of course, Egypt, Tunisia, and Kuwait. And yes, I was a young, single woman.

I'm spending much of the weekend with friends at a flamenco festival, listening and discovering this wonderful Andalusian / Romani music and watching some amazing dancers. Three successive days of festive eating and drinking is proving a little challenging for the calorie management, but I think I did better yesterday than Friday.
@jamessurloire I’m so jealous! I love flamenco!

@musicsax Glorious photos! I’ve always wanted to walk some of the “ways” in various parts of the UK. Have you read Robert MacFarlane’s book, The Old Ways, about ancients paths, mostly on land although he include some on water? Fabulous book.2

Day/Weight/Comment
06/20 …..200.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
06/21 …..199.0 ….. Happy tears here. Onederland! Truthfully, I won’t feel confident in Onederland until I am at 197 point anything (because gaining 2 pounds overnight is very easy for me). Grateful, thankful and staying mindful again today. I am not going to drop this ball!
06/22 …..198.8 ….. I am still on cloud 9 today. Thanks everyone for dancing with me yesterday. I kept the eating clean and the movement/activity steady. I rewarded myself with a couple of good classic rock songs to dance to.
06/23 …..197.4 ….. Although not planned, it ended up being a meatless day. I cut the IF short by 2 hours (14/10) and had spaghetti squash for dinner. Some dairy, very light grains. 50% more steps than the last few days and another 2 songs to dance to. I think it was quilting jaine that mentioned popcorn for fiber that she’s used in the past. I bought a box of 100 calorie popcorn and had my first one last night. Yummy and crunchy. I have now hit the short-term goal of 197 point anything which makes me feel firmly planted in Onederland. Dinner will be out tomorrow with my son but I will hang on for dear life to keep the scale in Onderland on the 25th.
06/24 …..197.8 ….. I don’t know how I could eat 1000 calories less than I burned and gain 0.4 lbs but I did. I don’t think I am retaining fluid right now based on yesterday’s meals either. In any case, I ended up eating 3 meals (including breaking my fast and having breakfast) because I was going to the hair dressers for a 3 hour appointment and am always worried about glucose drops when away from home. I kept it just under 1700 calories so I will call yesterday one of my higher calorie days to keep my metabolism in check. Not happy there will be 2 in a row including today when my son & I go on our planned outing. Now I must keep it more reasonable than originally planned, but it will be SO worth it. I want to keep things rolling while I am strong!
06/25 …..198.6 ….. Not too bad after 2 days of higher calorie and carb. Today I will be at home and my diet will be back on track. I consider these past two days to be metabolism re-sets. I plan on trying to get in more water and activity today too although we are expecting thunderstorms all day. I’ll work out in spurts inside. Burn baby burn!
06/26 …..198.6 ….. I’m surprised it didn’t budge downward as yesterday was filled with extra activity and calories stayed below 1350. No TMI is probably the reason. What a difference that makes! I am attending an outdoor wedding this afternoon in heavy rain and thunderstorms. We have a flood warning going on today. This should be interesting! Hopefully the scale won’t be too bad tomorrow.
06/27 …..199.0 ….. The immediate social engagements are over but I am scheduled to be traveling a very long day tomorrow (meals out). So today is a compensation day stuck right between the wedding yesterday and the travel tomorrow. I’ve got to make it count. I will fast 16/8. Drink extra water. Get as much movement in as I can (expecting another 12 hours of rain and thunderstorms). A well-planned day should help keep me in line.
06/28 …..xxxxx …..
06/29 …..xxxxx …..
06/30 …..xxxxx …..

I've included the last one as you can see some Duke of Edinburgh award youngsters in the distance and it gives an idea of the scale.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/21 159.2 Yesterday was rough. guests at our house. Stress for me is still waay too high re: my Dad. determined to get a better handle on things... taking most of this morning off work (hope that I don't lose my job...) since woke up feeling sick with headache & bad allergy issues. Meds have been taking affect & have been working on resolving issues re: my Dad. So stressed that I was shaking. Would help if knew how to handl a couple things.... then would be easire. Oh well... working on it.
6/22 DNW very bad day, again. The stress has been terrible for both my husband & I. We moved him to a different rehab today. I hope we got him out in time so that we don’t have to put him in the hospital, again. One of his wounds is almost to the bone where he has a contracture (his hand). He’s almost out of Medicare days for hospitalization.
6/23 159.2 another rough stressful day.
6/24. 159.2 rough day again. Can tell my Dad isn’t doing well His labs are starting to go down. Coughing more. Works been stressful. Oh well.
6/25 159.6 Oy! Stress level slightly lower today. My Dad is being treated for pneumonia, now. but not contagious. Was notified of that today while at work.
6/26. 159.2 bad food day. Expecting a gain. Visited dad. Noticed in cameras when they wheeled him back to his room in wheelchair from where he had been watching TV in a living area, the mask he had on was over his eyes. Can you imagine what that must have been like for him?! Ghah! There was another problem while I was there, but it was resolved. Nice people, but like the other rehab, the nurses seem overwhelmed & like they don’t have enough time. Too many patients. My sons wife may have baby a few weeks early. Exciting!

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
6/29
6/30 - GW: 173.2 New GW: By the end of the round, still be 173.2 or less.
