7/29 - 257.1 Just one of those weeks where your weight is stuck, I guess! It just makes me push harder, so no worries. Ran 2.33 miles in 20 minutes this morning so my pace is coming up and burned 446 calories. Definitely expecting a weight decrease over the weekend... hopefully!

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ Round 157 (round 89 for me ) I continue to need this to help keep me on track!
@QuiltingJaine - thank you yet again 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! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.
Covid restictions have mostly been lifted in England – we have reached “freedom day”, but remember there is still a pandemic, continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in crowded indoor settings, always consider others.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
7/21 134.8 – 10.52 miles walked yesterday, within calories.
7/22 134.8 – 12.19 miles walked yesterday, not good food choices expected to be up, try to be restrained today to prevent it showing tomorrow!
7/23 134.4 – no structured walking as child minding little DGS, reasonable food choices.
7/24 133.4 – 12.05 miles walked yesterday, within calories, but carbs high.
7/25 133.8 – 11.45 miles walked yesterday, stayed within calories but carbs high due to pizza night.
7/26 134.4 – 10.66 miles walked, 26 calories and 4 carbs over, happy with that for a Sunday with full roast lunch with wine and cheese, port & crackers for evening meal!
7/27 133.8 - 10.71 miles walked yesterday, calories & all macros in credit.
7/28 133.6 - 10.71 miles again, despite a totally different route! calories s in credit, but carbs 25g over yesterday.
7/29 133.6 - 10.28 miles, calories & all macros well within limits.
7/30 133.6 - 0.4 down from end of last round. 8 miles walked yesterday, had a bit of a wobbly yesterday pm, but got back under control before it turned into a full blown binge, think that's why the scale remained the same, ended up 226 calories and 36 carbs over.
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE
. Keep calm – be consistant, we're all in this together!

I was after an elusive 85 lbs loss 😂 but 83 will do me fine.
Just realised that I have been in Maintenance for over 2 years.
I checked my SmartBMI reading and was advised that I was at an optimal weight.
My scale shows that I am in the normal range for Muscle/Fat %ages.
Not bad for a Septagenarian.😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
July focus:- maintain weight < 150 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
- Work on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.

Aims:2021 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 157- 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/21: 144# Good day yesterday. Able to walk outside although it was terribly muggy.
7/22: 143.5# Planning my food yesterday helped as I went out with colleagues for a send off and still came in below calories and then walked when I got home. Upper body strength training is checked off for today.
7/23: 143# The weather was great so able to get out and walk yesterday. Off to a good start but the weekend is looming - better plan ahead.
7/24: 143# Still on track with strategy despite my Friday night wine splurge. Got caught in a sudden rain storm while out walking. Keep up the good work everyone
7/25: 142.5# Very frustrating day yesterday and my attitude did not help. Lots of challenges and delays getting out for a bike ride but I did it despite my myself. I needed a whop upside the head to set me straight. Amor fati
7/26: 143# Hmm, perhaps a normal fluctuation or salty food. I was under calories, lifted weights and walked yesterday. No worries.
7/27: 143# I took a nice fall onto hands and knee on the road half way through my walk yesterday. I am officially now a Road Warrior.
7/28: 143# Hanging in there.
7/29: 142.5# Nice walk yesterday Managing to stay in a calorie deficit but the weekend is coming up looking for ways to thwart plans. I finally bought a new (hopefully more accurate) digital scale yesterday that I’ll switch to for next round, it measures 140.6# this AM. I already like it better for obvious reasons
7/30: 142# I’ll take it! (140.0# on new scale that I’ll start using next round). Rain yesterday but did weights before heading to work. This group helps my accountability and I appreciate the support.

I jog in Vibram toe-shoes, which have very little tread, and it'd be slippery out there. My students survived their chemistry test, I survived getting hay, and the coyotes didn't wake me up by howling in the night = a good night's sleep. See everybody in round 158!11 -
Female, 5ft. 6 in.
Age 57
Akron, Ohio
OSW: 186 (March 2018)
Maintenance: 140-145 (December 2018)
My 118th Round!
I've had a lot of stress with multiple medical emergencies for my family and myself over the past few weeks. I absolutely stress snacked and am now trending above maintenance. Things have calmed down a bit and my husband has 6 weeks before his post chemo check up, so I'm going to hope to stay on track and get my weight back down. I will say that without this daily accountability, I would probably be 10 lbs. heavier.
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.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/21 - 146.5 - I'm glad to see my weight moving down a little from the weekend. I got home from work yesterday to find that my stepdaughter had brought us a couple large apple crunch muffins. Last week I would've split one with my husband. This week I told him to eat both.
7/22 - 147 - I've been faithfully logging my food the past 3 days and have stayed within my ranges, so this is just a normal fluctuation.
7/23 - 146 - I just have to keep logging through the weekend. I know I will be eating high sodium food due to a party scheduled, so I'll have to keep drinking water.
7/24 - 146.5 - And the sodium kicked in.
7/25 - 147.5
7/26 - 148 - Ouch! Sodium, carbs, and margaritas. I had a great time at the party, but I have to take control this week.
7/27 - 148.5 - Hopefully, this is the end of the weekend bounce.
7/28 - 147.5 - Back to my round starting weight. I need to focus on steps and water the rest of the week.
7/29 - 147.5 - I was hoping to weigh lower this morning, but it's better than a gain.
7/30 - 147.5 - I'm disappointed in my weight, but all I can do is keep trying. See you next round!

@quiltingjaine - My husband is doing great right now. He has recovered from his chemo/BCG treatments and is walking miles with the dog, working in the yard, and taking care of the house since I'm still working. In fact, I think he's recovered quicker from all the stress than I have, haha. Thank you for asking and the prayers.9

🎯Mini Goal: 204.x (Repeat until I hit it!)
Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
7/21 204.9 Walk 4.5 + 1.3 miles, bike 30 min, squats & hand weights, 1252 cal, 110 net carbs, AF. Big swoosh from yesterday which was an obvious sodium uptick. Now to keep this below 205 for the entire round!
7/22 204.3 Walk 3 + 1.3 miles, garden, 1161 cal, 49 net carbs, AF. Tried Kombucha for the first time. Kevita sparkling Lemon Cayenne. Nice change of pace!
7/23 204.6 Walk 3.3 miles, garden, 1439 cal, 77 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine. Today I’m meeting an old friend to walk the paths on Buffalo Bayou downtown Houston, Cisterns tour, and picnic!
7/24 204.5 Walk 2 + 3.4 + .6 miles Buffalo Bayou, 1564 cal, 101 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine. Wonderful active day! Closed all my rings plus overlapped the rings on the Apple Watch. 19550 steps!
7/25 205.0 Walk 3.2 + .6 miles, 1538 cal, 120 net carbs, AF. Grimaldi’s pizza … need I say more? Drinking water!
7/26 204.6 Walk 3.6 miles, bike 30 min, squats. plank & hand weights, 1649 cal, 64 net carbs, AF. Woke up too early and I was exhausted all day. Tried on every pant in my closet which was interesting. I’m pear shape size 18. I already threw out the size 20 & 22 pants. Put everything that was too small in another area to pull out when I’m 10 pounds lighter because though size 16 fits it doesn’t look great. I’m really apprehensive about this 1 hr Strong and Fit total body workout I signed up to take once per week. But I think it will be good for my bones & muscles as I age and hopefully it will help shape my legs, tummy and arms!
7/27 204.6 Walk 3.2 + .6 miles, 14200 steps, total body workout class 1 hr, 1552 cal, 103 net carbs, AF. Survived my first Strong & Fit class one-hour total body workout increases muscle strength and endurance by using light weights and high repetition. Lots of lunges, squats, planks and such with tons of arm movement. Sore this morning.
7/28 205.2 Walk 4.6 + 1.4 miles, bike 30 min, 2044 cal, 120 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Almost 500 cal in snacks during the day then changed dinner plans and went to a favorite Italian restaurant. Undid all my great efforts exercising in the morning.
7/29 205.0 Walk 2.3 miles, swim 400m, 2171 cal, 84 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. I’m really starting to feel all the muscles in my body adding the strength training Monday and then swimming Wednesday on top of my regular walking dog 100miles/month and bike 1x/wk.
7/30 205.6 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walk 2 miles, long 5+ hr car ride, 11602 cal, 127 net carbs, AF. Got up and walked at 6am yesterday since I knew I was taking my mom to the doctor before driving to the camp. It all makes for a very long day.
I'll get to 204.x or below and stay there next round!7 -
May 10, 2021 - 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 157 Goals: 80oz water; row 30 mins, most days; free-weights; eat vegetables/fruit; IF most days; no sugar; Calorie/Carb cycle between 1000 to 1900 calories each day with an average between 1200 - 1500.

Started back tracking IF, which looks like i've been hitting around 17 to 20 hours each day. I drank 64oz of water consistently. And hit the 160's. See y'all in the next round!

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

SW: 299.2 (April 20, 2021)
GW: 180
Round Goal: 260
Day/Weight/Comment
7/21 - 262.4 After taking the last round off for a friend's wedding, it's time to get back into it. Have not worked out as I'm still adjusting to the time zone, but I HAVE to tonight. Last wedding got me off track for about 10 days, I can't let that happen again.
7/22 - 259.9 Honestly surprised by a drop. Maybe yesterday's weight was effected by the flights and not working out? Not sure. Ran 2 miles this morning and 1.5 last night. I really hope I can keep this below 260 and this isn't just a water weight loss!
7/23 - 259.3 Ran 2.26 miles this morning. I originally wanted 2 miles, but then I was close to 20 minutes running so I went a little longer, then I was close to 400 calories burned so I went a little longer. Actually feels good to run and kind of want to go again tonight. Also thought of how close I am to 250 and how big that number will be. It'll mark 50 lbs down, a new BMI category and just being 1/2 way to the 100s. Definitely giving me an extra push!
7/24 - 259.3
7/25 - 259.3
7/26 - 257.1 I feel like this drop always happens after the weekend. I'm not sitting at a desk all day so I get up and I have to do lawn work and all that and work out on top of that so a drop always happens for Monday. Woke up and wasn't going to work out but then figured why not get a quick run in to burn calories? Ran until I hit 300 calories burned.
7/27 - 257.3 A bit of an increase but at least I know the scales are accurate. Ran 2.25 miles with a <9 minute pace this morning, I'm going to try to do a 5k at some point just have to push myself! 3 more days in this round, hoping to see 256 point something on the scale shortly!
7/28 - 257.1 I was thinking this morning that it seems like I've been stuck at this weight forever but looking here it's only been 3 days. I guess this week has really dragged! Ran for 20 minutes, burned 412 calories. I have nothing to do tonight so may do pilates or something light. Hoping to get a little lower before the end of this round!
7/29 - 257.1 Just one of those weeks where your weight is stuck, I guess! It just makes me push harder, so no worries. Ran 2.33 miles in 20 minutes this morning so my pace is coming up and burned 446 calories. Definitely expecting a weight decrease over the weekend... hopefully!
7/30 - 257.1 Alright so I'm just this weight for now I guess. Well, I'm going to set 5 lbs for my next round goal because I expect a fall off this weekend (or at some point!) Didn't work out this morning to give my legs a bit of a rest. Will do something tonight like yoga or pilates for low impact. Also forgot my breakfast yogurt at home so had 2 cookies for breakfast lol going to be starving by lunch!5
