My 40th birthday is rapidly approaching (21.days) and I am at a standstill in weight loss. I’ll continue to try but I need something to change things up. Good rest, a new workout routine, something that will work. The childcare at my gym is not opening until September so gym time is limited.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/20 …..194.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/21 …..193.4 ….. Wow! I didn’t expect this loss today. However, I am reminded that sometimes the changes take a few days to show up on the scale. Yesterday I upped my calories closer to my goal (a little low lately). I got in less movement with no planned exercise or walking but I did do yard work and stack wood. I would love to get to 192 point anything this round so that I could be within reach of the 180’s by next round. However, my goal is any weight loss at all (progress) so I am well on my way to both I hope! Good luck everyone on this round. Our goals are varied and so are our methods. I am behind you all and look forward to sharing our journeys.

07/22 …..194.2 ….. Dammit! I got really hungry last night because dinner earlier just didn’t satisfy. I ended up eating extra “diet” snacks. I was in the red by 199 calories. 0.8 which is concerning because I am having a long travel day today which will mean restaurants and sitting. I dread tomorrow’s weigh-in! On the good side – my trend weight is still going down. Staying grateful!

7/22: 171.5 Violent thunderstorm, with power outages this morning! Power went out for 5 seconds WHILE I WAS IN THE SHOWER, but happily it came back on while I stood there with shampoo in my hair, contemplating my options and I didn't have to go get water out of the horses' water trough to rinse off with. Though I suppose just standing out in the rain might have done the job too. Torn about what to do for exercise today, but I'm guessing it's going to be a walk in the rain, if the lightning's over and done with. The mares always come greet me when I get home with groceries (did a shop today), demanding a treat. Vala looks like she's pregnant, she gets so plump in the summers, but I gave her a carrot anyway since she asked so nicely (she gently bops my face with her nose, which I call a "pony kiss."} As usual, the chickens are out in the rain and the ducks are inside where it's dry.

@Shannonsto I too am logging my daily WIs into Happy Scale and see the trends. I've not thought about writing them down side by side with my daily WI ... thanks for sharing the idea! It would definitely help when the scale is constantly bouncing around!

Thanks @quiltingjaine . Very sweet of you to suggest this. I have done this before way too many times. After a day, I'll glare at my husband and tell him to give them to me, that I can handle it. He says "if looks could kill." Actually I had him hide the sugar recently and that worked for a while. I've thrown stuff away, put it under water, etc.

Last night, I took some crumbs from my husband's almonds and put them in the bag and shook them around. Since I'm allergic to peanuts and they have a "made in same plant as peanuts," I won't eat them. A chance of anaphylactic shock is about the only thing that will keep me away from chips, ice cream, etc.,

It's an emotional and physical "binge" thing. I'm one of those that when there's a plate of cookies and some people can eat 1, and others the entire plate - that's me, eat entire plate, except in the morning when I'm never hungry, that's when I know how "normal" people feel. The answer for me is just not to have them here. I always think I can handle it when my cravings subside from eating right, and I buy them, but nope, I end up right back in the same place.

Even though it won't work for me, I do appreciate you sending a message with what worked for you.

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.
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's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
Aims:

2021 Focus:

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

LOL. @quiltingjaine, when I want something crunchy and actually give in to it, I eat a little and leave the rest on the kitchen table. It's gone by the next day, DH & DS take care of that. Although currently EVERYONE is on a weightloss plan (not the same) and I keep them on the straight and narrow.

Adding my Happy Scale Trend because these fluctuations are messing with my head. The trend gives me a better view of my overall progress.

7/21-177.0, Trend 178.1
7/22-178.0, Trend 178.1 😔 I thought I did so well yesterday...

@Shannonsto I too am logging my daily WIs into Happy Scale and see the trends. I've not thought about writing them down side by side with my daily WI ... thanks for sharing the idea! It would definitely help when the scale is constantly bouncing around!

What settings are you using? Mine is set to Happy Scale Smoothing based on change over previous

I like the 7 day moving average. It really helps me see the overall trend when my weights are yo-yoing around, otherwise I have a tendency to get psyched out. I wish I could take credit for the idea, but I stole it from another poster 😉

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.

Newbie here ☺️

Restarted my 16:8 IF Tuesday with 3/4 fasting of 1,000 calories. I don’t ban any foods/drinks but I do limit within my normal daily calorie target of 1,450. I find if I am too restrictive I give up quickly.

Target 1.5lbs per week until my clothes fit well. Also trying to exercise min 30 minutes each day. My weight is less important, what is important are my energy levels and measurements.

It’s not unusual when fasting to drop weight at the beginning. I am not expecting any more loss this week.

SW: 140.5 (135.1 : 7/19)
Day/. Weight /Comment
7/20 134.0. Fasting and 45 mins exercise

Hi, First time taking part in one of these 10 day challenges. Im at the heaviest i've ever been, over eat most days, drink too much beer regularly and generally feel like crap.

Starting this off the back of being at a wedding last weekend and felt really uncomfortable all weekend in a suit.

Aiming for no alcohol for these 10 days too!

42 year old, 6ft tall, British man.

7/21. 21st11lb ( 305lb) Healthy meals planned for today and golf this evening

7/22 21st 5lb (299lb) stuck to plan yesterday. Feel great. Big overnight loss but probably water loss due to sweating profusely in the heat. Meals planned and golf again after work. 🙂
7/23 21st 4lb (298lb) Stuck to plan yesterday. Drank soooo much water due to the heat. 3 litres alone while playing 9 holes of golf. Slept really well and feel less bloated.

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.
