Good morning everyone, I know this is mid round, but mind if I join in? I seem to have allowed myself fall into self sabotage mode and its making me miserable. 4 weeks ago I was at 160lbs, today I am 166.25. Now I know 6lbs isn't the end of the world but for me its a sign of what's to come. I have previously lost and gained 30lbs and this time last year I was 70 pounds overweight due to a change in meds. Its taken me 12 months to lose 30 lbs. So I'm half way there. I follow the TeamRH approach so fingers crossed its onwards and upwards for me... I'm going to go back and read all your posts for some motivation and admiration
05.07.2021: 166.25
06.07.2021: 166.25. I usually weight about 6:30am but on Tuesdays I'm up at 4am for work so this always seems to influence my weight.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ Round 155 (round 87 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 to continue yet again to work back towards maintanence – any loss will be a win! We should have been going away for a week in our caravan on Friday, but it has had to be cancelled as we are both in self isolation – (luckily, I've been able to rebook the site albeit not til next year 'cuz they are fully booked!, but at least we are not losing our money). We shall get away for the weekend after we get our freedom !!! 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 the future – I've had 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!! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment

7/1 131.2 – shocked at this, checked scale several times, think some of the loss last couple of days is due to upset stomach and too much TMI! Another of my covid symptoms? See how it goes next few days Feeling much brighter today, might try a short jog in place later. Good food choices just 36 calories over yesterday, still no structured exercise.
7/2 132 – feeling even better today, still not 100%, but getting there! Good food choices again yesterday; within calories.

7/3 132 – feel much much better today, yes, can say back to normal, sensible food choices ysterday, within calories and still managed a chilled cider in the sunshine whilst enjoying my garden. Rain forecast today so garden off the cards!
7/4 132.4 – difficult to stay within calories on pizza night! 252 over. Itching to get out!
7/5 133.2 – need to get back to less 1340 calories today (was 500 over yesterday & scales reflect!), still no structured walking!
7/6 131.6 – sensible choices yesterday despite the challenges involved in running out of fresh produce only had 3 onions left, made delicious evening meal of salmon (from freezer), jacket potato, boiled onions and peas (frozen) all served with parsley sauce. We had a food delivery last night so yeah ! We have frsh fruit, veg & salad so today will be a lot easier to make good choices.

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 154 = 51.0 HS trend 51.3kg. I’ll be using a different scale starting Friday and I don’t know if it reads the same

Thu 1 I won’t be weighing as I’m leaving home around 04:00 and will be on the road for at least 12 hours.
Fri 2 51.4 trend 51.3 😊↔️ Different scales, over calories yesterday and not enough water.

Day/Weight/Comment

7/1 166 – and we’re off!
7/2 167– oh, body what ARE you doing ! Let’s work together shall we?
7/3 167.5 right, I recognise this up and down stuff now. Going to maintain calories for a couple of days and get back on it on 7/5 instead.
7/4 167.2 steady body - hold your nerve - keep thoughtful
7/5 167.5 that’s fine -I feel calm and back to being focussed . Hope everyone feeling good 😊
7/6 166.7 ok - some movement again . Jogged 5k and thoughtful eating yesterday. Keeping consistent is the key for me but in all honesty I get “bored” thinking about food , exercise, myself ! I need to make these changes seem more automatic , natural so I focus less energy on it all.

7/06 - 147.0 - Yesterday was filled with lots of prep for physically returning to work for at least the next two weeks. Training all day today so stuck sitting behind a computer but I'm sure I'll make up for that Wed-Fri with my tour. I'm not 100% sure how I'll squeeze in posting as I figure out my morning routine and timing. I'm still around, even if I can't post daily. Need to focus on water, I haven't been good about that AT ALL. Food, either. This week I'll have no choice since I have to pack my lunch and dinner will already be made by the time I get home.

Previous Day's Comments

7/01 - I am thoroughly confused. I haven't fasted in a week and a half. I haven't tracked food in 2 weeks. Haven't been drinking to my water goals for several days. I haven't worked out in a week. And yet, here I am dropping 1.2lbs and looking super slim out of nowhere. I even ATE CAKE last night (Daughter wanted to bake a cake so we did). Is it backwards day and I just don't know about it?! Despite my iffy tummy earlier in the week, I still ate a normal amount....Anyone have insight on what could be going on?
7/02 - This is weird. I had a latte with real milk yesterday. Then had to eat immediately after to help settle my stomach. I've now gotten myself flavored syrups to make flavored lattes and oat milk for myself so they won't upset my tummy. Really surprised I'm not still bloated from that. Shocked in general at the weight. Flashed 145 for a minute but then it went back up to 146. Tried again and at 146 immediately. Had a bad morning, slept on my neck wrong. It was so bad it made me dizzy until I threw up. I feel better now, though my neck is still achy, it's much more tolerable. Eye appointment in a short bit. Hopefully I can keep up with the loss and maintain it.
7/03 - Happy 4th to my US friends! Weight to be expected. We had limited concert tickets to sold out shows and one was postponed due to rain until Friday night. The other was originally scheduled for last night. It was a great time at both (both moved right up to top 2 concerts I've ever seen, they were amazing and great showmen). Late nights, not as much sleep, and not enough water (adds up real when buying for 5 people and can't bring any outside drinks in...ugh. Its WATER...but I get it, end rant). Hopefully rain lets up today like it did last night so we can light the few fireworks we bought. They've been looking forward to it for awhile. Luckily Fam's land is out in the middle of nowhere so we have lots of space and won't be disturbing a ton of people.

7/6 Hi everyone! We got back from vacation on Saturday night, and we had a great time. We did a lot of walking and playing in the Virginia Beach waves. We were near the surfing part of the beach which was fun to watch too! My food choices were pretty decent but I definitely indulged a lot too! I’ll be picking up my CSA today and getting a double amount for the week I missed. So, I’m looking forward to stuffing myself full of veggies over the next week and a half. I didn’t do any running on vacation but we probably walked anywhere from 3-5 or more miles a day. I ran yesterday though and had great times, so that was encouraging as well. Now I’m off to go hang out with my friend who recently had a baby and bring her some healthy goodies for use to nibble on all day. Have a lovely day!
Ps. I also have an interview tomorrow, so I’m excited about that!

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

Female, 5’3”, 60
Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last
2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021)
GW: <200 in 2020 BMI 35.2
UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150's

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)

Exercise Goal for this round: Daily planks, squats & hand weights. Bike once per week. Walk 100 miles in July!
🎯Mini Goal: 204.x (Repeat until I hit it!)

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
7/1 206.2 Walk 3.3 miles, 1 min plank, 10 squats, hand weight routine, bike 30 min, 1751 cal, 98 net carbs, 2 glasses wine dining out. Pretty sure that the unexpected Italian dinner out showed up on the scale and derailed all my exercise. Set up my paper journal to track my exercise goals in July and began testing them out yesterday! No reason to wait until July I’ve found that the graphs and paper journal help me reflect , focus and high 5 myself … something about all those colored pencils and doodles!
7/2 207.6 @ fishing camp 🎣 No walking long car ride, plank, squats, 1853 cal, 102 net carbs, 4 glasses of wine. Hoping this jump is from travel bloat and not actual gain. I was good at fast food ordering grilled chicken melt no bun at Whataburger and then dinner was jambalaya. But the wine and less water might have just taken me over the edge.
7/3 207.4 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, fishing, squats, 1850 cal, 86 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine. Caught 16” speckled trout but due to the freeze earlier this year the TPWD narrowed the slot size from 15”-25” to 17”-23”. Catch & Release. No fish tacos
7/4 207.1 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 + .3 miles, fishing, squats, 2219 cal, 112 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.
7/5 208.7 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 + .6 miles, fishing, squats, 1399 cal, 82 net carbs, 1 glass wine, 1 Heineken 0.0. I’m not sure what caused this upswing ?????
7/6 207.6 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 2 miles, long car drive, 1565 cal, 67 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine. Avoided fast food on the drive but then succumbed to frozen pizza with extra fresh mozzarella when we arrived home in the evening. Expecting rain for the rest of the week.

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.

Big weekend of the BIG TWO. Spent most of yesterday on my fishing boat (the Kraken) which is a wonderful combination of constant movements and no-time-for-eating.

I named my boat the Kraken because she is old, ugly, and ornery. She decided to make my trolling motor unavailable yesterday. So, we compromised and still hauled a few bass over the gunwale. We do not eat bass, so they were tossed right back over.

@_JeffreyD_ Great name for a boat. Do you not eat Bass because of.a personal catch & release policy or because they are not your favorite fish to eat?
Redfish and Trout are both sport fish down here ... I like to eat Trout more than Redfish so if given the chance I keep the Trout. But at this time the Trout are limited so we are basically catch & release on them ... though we caught very little this weekend. Turned into mostly casting wearing our arms out and watching the clouds.
DH has a personal boat limit of 5 ... he doesn't like to clean more than that LOL so TPWD can claim that we can keep 5 per person but not in our boat!

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.

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 🍁 🦫 I’ve always thought of myself as half Canadian. My mom was born in Scotland, reared in Alberta, Canada, from 7 years on; my dad and sibs all born in Alberta. I missed by 2 years (though I’m eligible for citizenship by birth). So have a good one, eh?

7/2 - 187 - 1702
It’s a stunning day here, sunshiny, 70s — perfect! Off to do some garden work, then go walk the greenway. Have a lovely!

7/3 - 187 - 1672
I worked in the garden, mulching and transplanting, for about 4 hours yesterday. I was pooped! Also hungry, so I more mulching today, but I’ll try not to eat so much. Happy weekend!

What? Weird. Happy 4th! (Couldn’t find yesterday’s post, which I remember writing, so I fudged.)

Salty weekend, I guess. I’ve loaded, unloaded, moved around, and spread 40 bags of mulch and some compost the past 2 days, and walked, so have burned some calories. Probably just water weight.

Round 154 ending: 266.3 (-8.6)

7/1 - 265.4 Still not sure what's going on with this downward trend. Weighed on 2 scales and had a 2 lbs difference today so I just went with first weight I took on my expensive "smart" scale. Never thought I'd want to have a flat two days but I need that right now just to know my scales aren't completely broken lol. Started a workout this morning but started coughing like crazy and didn't want to wake up my wife so will re-start tonight.
7/2 - 265.9 Alright, I went up this morning so I feel good that my scale works because I drank a ton of water yesterday. Underrated - Propel Water. Worked out last night, not this morning. Will get a workout in tonight and then landscaping all weekend. Probably fit a pilates and yoga class in each day just to keep moving.
7/3 - 265

7/6 - 267.6 I mean... alright. 3 days where the scale says the exact same weight followed by a 2.6 pound increase after our BBQ. I don't know. Feeling dejected lately. Body just keeps fighting me on this. Shoulder still in pain and battled a cold all weekend. Bad start to the week.

7/1 - 173
7/2 - DNW Up at 3am so no weighing in today
7/3 - 172 I have a habit of forgetting to drink until around 3pm and then guzzling it all in a few hours. Today, I'm trying to sip water all day long.
7/4 - 172 Changing up my calorie range each day to low (1000 - 1200), med (1200 - 1600) and high (1600 - 1900) is really helping, especially the high range. It keeps me from feeling like I'm in a rut, and I feel more revitalized and ready to go again after the high calorie days.
7/5 - 172 Hit 172 last round then popped back up to 173 the end of the round, so glad to be at 172 the past 3 days. I'm going to try something new. I'm going to quit focusing on every tenth of a pound and see if I like it better to just track each pound lost (or gained) since it's very normal to fluctuate. I might change back because it may feel like it takes forever to post a change, but we'll see....

SW: 173

7/6 - 173 Too many chips and salsa. Added a checklist for those things I'm not doing well at the moment to tomorrow to keep me accountable. Already rowed this morning so have one down. That runner below is really talented. She appears to be running forward while actually running backwards!

7/7 - So....how did you do yesterday? 5 Veggies ____; 2 Fruit ____; 80oz water ____; Row ✅

The heat wave has lessened up today, so finally feel like working out this week!
7/2:169.9
Was halfway through drinking my morning cup of tea when I realized I hadn't weighed yet, so might actually be a little lower than this. Plan for today is a full body strength workout.
7/3: 169.9
Rainy day, but have lots to keep me busy inside, traveling tomorrow through Tuesday
7/4: 169.8
Likely will post a gain for Monday & Tuesday but know by Wednesday the scale will be back moving in the right direction - overall goal is to maintain this round - so the slight loss so far this round is a bonus!
7/5: 170.1
Lovely day yesterday & today I'm catching up with a friend I haven't seen since pre-pandemic:)Will be mindful of calories today but expect a small gain tomorrow which is fine. Goal is to maintain and stay under 171.
7/6:169.5
Nice surprise with this unexpected loss on the scale this morning.
