JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ Round 158 (round 90 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 maintenance– any loss will be a win! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.
Covid restrictions 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
7/31. 133.2 - good start to the round, let's keep it!! Under calories and all macros yesterday, just over 8 miles walked yesterday in-between rain!!
8/1 133.6 - 12.7 miles walked, well within calories & macros.
8/2. 133.6 - no structured walking yesterday; a big family celebration for the 1st liversary (liver transplant) for our 18 month DGS, brave little lion who has fought off so much in his little short life. Moments of remembrance too for the absent hero who together with her family so generously and unselfishly donated her liver & realisation that the 1 year anniversary will be so different for them, but she lives on in our little miracle, we will always be grateful, she will stay in our hearts forever. So grateful to NHS & wonderful surgeon too.
Can't deny I indulged; we had BBQ, cake and the adults a tad of champagne. 400 calories over, back to normal service today!
8/3 133.6 - 15.88 miles yesterday, we did 3 mile detour after encountering a field of cows in our path on our planned hike & cuz we've had a couple of "unsavoury" incidents with cows in the past if we can avoid them
we will!! All calories and macros in credit.
8/4. 134.4 - 14.2 miles walked yesterday. Calories and macros in credit.
8/5 134.4 – 9.67 miles walked yesterday before we headed home from our 5 day break in the Peak District, calories in credit but macros 36g over.
8/6 134 – 5.97 miles walked yesterday very briskly pushing DGS in buggy before the rain came ! Calories & all macros in credit.
8/7 135.2 – bbq last night with SIL & partner, ate over, but didn't go too mad & stopped when I'd had enough which is a NSV as often this is the recipe for starting a full 2 day binge! Ate late & also had quite a few alcoholic beverages interspersed with glasses of water. Nibbles were crisps & nuts, so sodium heavy!! This morning I need so much water!! 40oz straight off !! 10.93 miles walked yesterday. It is pizza night tonight, heavy carbs so may take a few days to lose this up tick.
8/8 135.4 – 10.51 miles walked yesterday, calories well in credit. Carbs 5g over; last day to make it count for the end of the round, but heavy rain makes walking doubtful today.

Hopefully this is just a stage I'm passing through and not the shape of things to come. And speaking of the shape of things to come, I'm definitely in that going-to-look-worse-before-I-look-better stage. The ugly duckling stage before the cute little yellow ducklings turn into pretty ducks and are only half way there. There was a skunk around in the night, but fortunately the smell didn't linger this morning, though I guess it lingered enough to enrage the dogs. I don't know what it is about dogs and skunks, but they really set them off. Hang in there everybody. Long walk in the plans for today.

SW: 194
Day/Weight/Comment
7/31: 194 - planning to walk to/from the movie theater today and to get in an upper body strength workout
8/1: 194.8 - Leg day was on Friday. I was hoping I’d skate by on soreness because yesterday wasn’t bad, but I’m feeling it today! I’ve done a good job on calories for the last few days, so I’m not at all worried about the weight gain. I’ve read that’s normal when starting strength training.
8/2: 194 - Yesterday’s strength work focused on my core. My whole body is sore today, but my legs less so than yesterday, which is great. I also rode my indoor bike yesterday. Managed to stay within my calorie range yet again.
8/3: 194.2 - Rest day yesterday. Felt good to do nothing much while my body recovered. Today was a lot more busy on the exercise front, but I also ate a bit more than I meant to. Oh well. Tomorrow is a new day.
8/4: 193.4
8/5: 192.4 - Happy with this number, but it’s going to go up tomorrow. I had a big lunch (plus dessert) with my coworkers. The truffle fries were delicious! It remains to be seen whether or not they will be worth the uptick in my weight though.
8/6: 193.6 - Oof!
8/7: 192.6: Yesterday was arms day on the workout front. Not bad at all! Today is leg day and I’m not looking forward to it. Took a sneak peak at what’s in store for me and it’s basically nothing but lunges. My knees! Will definitely be doing some modifications. The rest of the day will be a lazy one. Going out for brunch and a movie. I’m going to try to be good at brunch time on the calorie front.
8/8: 192.6 Had chicken and waffles at brunch yesterday. I saw people eating delicious looking cinnamon rolls, but I stuck to my plan and didn’t have dessert. Going to see another movie today, which I’ll walk to and from. I’ve also got an upper body workout to do. Busy day!

CSW: 299 lbs (07/30/21)
Been working on my weight-loss eating plan.( Low carb Mediterranean) Little bit of meat, a little dairy, Eggs in moderation twice a week, and no more than 2 eggs at one time.. Lots of veggies, and some fruit (mostly berries).
I have found that this eating plan works best for keeping my blood glucose in check.
I'm a type 2 diabetic. My A1C last time it was tested was a (10.9) which is dangerously high. My goal is to get it down to 7'' range and then into the 5'
(10.9 - my blood glucose testing daily was in the high 300's to mid 400' rang.
My daily testing is now beginning to lower to the 200" and 100" rang. Once I reached a 91. Would love for my reading to be between the 80's and 90's on a daily basis. I believe if I keep my diet clean and low carb, and continue to work on my weight-loss, with exercise, I'll reach this goal.
This way of eating is not for everyone, we are all different and have to find out what works best for ourselves.
I have learned to check my sugar before eating and 1 & 2 hours after eating to find what food raises my blood glucose level. Foods that raise it high, I don't eat no more. I've tried a lot of diets out there and found this works best for me. I have slowly been getting rid of overly processed food, and trying to eat as clean and whole foods as I can.
My goal is to incorporate some exercise into my daily routine, once I'm able to do and build from there as I'm physically able to.
I believe the few ounces I've gained are nothing to worry about, my body is adjusting to the new way of eating and well start showing weight loss soon. Just have to be patient.
Day/Weight/Comment:
7/31: 294.2 lbs ⬇️ (4.8 lbs) Since the restart of my weight-loss journey, two days ago, most of what I've lost will be water. Just hope weight will be less on last day of this round and not more.🙂
8/1: 294.6 ⬆️ ( 4 oz)
8/2: 295 ⬆️ (4 oz) Still heading in the wrong direction. 😓 Retaining a lot of water, 💧 Hopefully, this will reverse soon and start going in the right direction.
8/3: 295.2 ⬆️ (4 oz)
8/4: 293.8 ⬇️ (-1.4 lbs) Finally a loss. 🪅 Since theirs still 5 days left in the challenge maybe I'll have a good loss for my first round. 😄 Thinking Positive!!
8/5: 294.8 ⬆️ This is definitely my fault over ate for dinner. 😡
8/6: 295 ⬆️ (+ 2oz) Did really good yesterday, stayed below my daily calorie amount, Still a increase in weight. Don't understand? Today will lower my daily allotment to 1,200 calories and see if this will help. MFP stated I needed 1,533 calories a day to lose weight obviously not. I'm still under my start weight on the July 30th which was 299 so I'm 4 lb below that. We'll see if this drop in daily calories will get the lbs coming off in the right direction. 😓
8/7: 292.8 ⬇️. (-2.2 lbs from yesterday) (-6.2 lbs from beginning weight) Woohoo!! 😄 So Happy!! to finally see a loss. All I seemed to do was gain a little weight each day. I thought the scale would show another gain this morning, what a very nice surprise. 😍
Ate healthy and had more water then I usually do yesterday. Hope to lose a little more in the next 2 days, but, will be Ok, if I don't lose any more as long as I don't gain any weight by end of this round.
8/8: 291.2 ⬇️ (-1.6 lbs) Most of this round my weight seemed to climb a little more each morning.😡 However, the past two days, I have lost all the gained weight and passed it by nearly 4 lbs. Still doing a happy dance!! 💃😍 💃

Previous Challenge 156: 245.4 (-1.8)
Previous Challenge 157: 242.0 (-3.4)
7/31 - 241.8 (-.2) I’m surprised that I dropped. I had my indulgence meal last night and expected a bump. But I’ll definitely take it. I did count my calories as close as I could figure out and was only a few hundred above my daily allowance. I worked out at Orange Theory Fitness yesterday. I have a two day workshop today and tomorrow so I’m planning to take my snacks and lunch.
8/1 - 242 (0) I walked for about a half hour yesterday just to get a little exercise in after sitting most of the day in class. I stay within my calorie goal and have a bit of a bounce, but not too bad. I’m going to miss my Sunday hiking today, but am really enjoying this class.
8/2 - 242.6 (+.6) Ahhh. Here’s the bounce from my indulgence meal on Friday night. I’m expecting to do well for the rest of the week and will finally get back to my exercise routine. I stayed within my calorie goals over the last two days during class.
8/3 - 242.2 (+.2) Yesterday, I worked for a friend in his shop all day. It was a crazy day on my feet, which hasn’t happened for a very long time. It was exhausting and challenging. I told him I’d help a couple days a week. After a weekend workshop and yesterday’s work, I haven’t been in my regular exercise routine. Today is swimming…back in the pool. I’m really looking forward to it.
8/4 - 241.2 (-.8) Swimming was wonderful and I did eat all my calories including 500 exercise calories. Today I’m back at the shop and adding in a couple extra hundred calories for my active day that won’t show up as exercise.
8/5 - 241.8 (-.2) Yesterday was another busy day working at the frame shop. I ate dinner late and am not surprised I had a bit of a gain. Hoping today’s swim and getting in my food before 6pm and drinking all my liquids will mean a really good loss tomorrow.
8/6 - 241.2 (-.8) I little disappointed, but still plugging away. Yesterday’s swim was wonderful and I’m heading to Orange Theory Fitness this morning. I’ve been reading the posts under “What No one Tells You About Losing Weight” on MFP and it’s been really inspiring.
8/7 - 240.8 (-1.2) My indulgence meal is today. I’ll definitely count it and go from there. I’m walking with my dogs at one of our amazing dog parks. We’ll all have fun and get some good exercise.
8/8 - 241 (-1) Up a little today and probably more tomorrow since I had my indulgence meal yesterday. I tried on my size 22 jeans last night and they were really big. Not so big they’ll fall down, but it was a good way to measure some of my progress. I’m into my size 20’s. Hiking is on the exercise menu today. 8 -

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
7/31 205.4 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, power washed the dock, 1789 cal, 108 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Took mom to the rehab center for her wrist and a lady behind us fell … took 3 people to get her up. Then neighbor at the camp fell hitting her head. She is 101 years old. Helped her until ambulance was able to make it out to our remote location. Then when her husband brought her back home he called again for me to help get her into bed. I did not sleep well. After seeing these 2 fall I REALLY want to lose weight. Being old, obese and not very mobile is not in my vision of my future. Ready to tackle August and lose more weight.
8/1 205.6 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 2.2 miles completing my 100 miles in July walking the dog! Gardening, fishing, 1435 cal, 86 net carbs, AF.
8/2 205.6 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walk .5 miles, fishing/casting for 3 hours and caught nothing, gardening digging up mom’s sago palm pups which is hard work, 1676 cal, 102 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Not surprised … pizza for lunch & pasta for dinner. Fished in the morning and it was too hot to walk the dog in the afternoon. Headed back home today.
8/3 204.4 Walked 2.2 miles, long 5+ hr drive, cut and trashed large limb that fell out of neighbor’s tree into my yard while we were gone … plus cut the damage it made on my redbud tree, 1533cal, 81 net carbs, AF, tons of water. Behind on my walking toward 100 mile goal this week so I need to get walking.
8/4 202.8 Whoosh! Walked 3.1 + 2.2 miles, Bike 30min, 1552 cal, 71 net carbs, AF, guzzling water. Lightning when I got to the pool so delayed swimming laps until Thursday. Over 18000 steps today! All my rings closed and overlapped.
8/5 202.5 Walked 3.4 + 1 miles, Strength class 1 hr, 1532 cal, 83 net carbs, AF. Over 15.5k steps. Took my DIL out for birthday lunch at Bistro Menil and went to the Menil Art Museum. It is Houston Restaurant Weeks all of August! LOTS of really nice places that have special menus.

8/6 202.9 Walked 3 + 1 miles, swam laps 400m, 1682 cal, 83 net carbs, AF.
🩺 Annual Physical & bloodwork today so fasting this morning.
8/7 203.7 Walked 1.3 miles then took the day off from other activity. 1404 cal, 56 net carbs, 2 wine. NOT enough water. DH & I were fasting for physical & bloodwork which went well. Then we went to Pappadeaux’s for a really nice lunch! Changed my plan for dinner … moved salmon night out to next Friday since I had not yet purchased the fish. I was able to take last night’s smoked chicken and make chicken salad wraps to go with our wine for a relaxing TGIF at home!
8/8 203.1 Walk 4.75 + .6 miles, Bike 30 min, 1569 cal, 68 net carbs, 3 wine. Tackled a long walk early in the day to make up for my lack of progress toward 100 miles in August AND try to get back down to 202.x.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/31: 58.7 kg - Pretty active day at 16,751 steps.
8/1: Missed weigh in! Whoops. I think eating was ok today but wasn't really active. 792 steps only lol.
8/2: 58.6 kg - 18,820 steps! Had Korean food for lunch and a homemade burger for dinner (got home late and was hungry lol).
8/3: 58.8 kg - 7,070 steps.
8/4: 59.9 kg - Hmmm Maybe I need to start tracking calories again to make sure I'm at deficit. EDIT: Goal - Food + Exercise = Remaining (1,200 - 1,047 + 404 = 557). For exercise, I went on a 3k morning run and a 30 minute evening walk.
8/5: 59.2 kg - 5,577 steps. Goal - Food + Exercise = Remaining (1,200 - 660 + 148 = 688) I forgot to log dinner!
8/6: DNW - 15,460 steps (5K run in morning and 30 minute walk in the evening). Goal - Food + Exercise = Remaining (1,200 - 899 + 551 = 852). Went out for brunch with sister which pretty much filled me up for the whole day. Ate dinner but a small portion. Had fish, green beans and shrimp stir fry, and rice. Drank plenty of water too!

@chublet25 DRINK A GLASS OF WATER! Even if it does mean you need to get up during the night, we are often THIRSTY not HUNGRY. It may make this more doable for you. Just give it a try.5

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/30 …..194.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/31 …..192.4 ….. Goodbye water retention! A nice whoosh after being up shedding water all night. I got 6 hours and 10 minutes of sleep which is AMAZING for me so even that didn't interfere with wonderful sleep! Yesterday I was just under allotted calories (I don’t eat back exercise). I didn’t get very much movement in and my water intake was low again. A so-so day but the scale rewarded me for my efforts at home (even though my travel habits are still yet to be desired). Welcome to all the newbies. You will love it here! Thanks Jaine for another round!
08/01 …..191.4 ….. Didn’t have much time to eat yesterday and dinner was very late (within 1 hour of bed). No water here since yesterday morning due to well problems. Seal was fixed (???) but no one can get the pump primed. Perhaps the check gauge went out when it was turned off? IDK but this is horrible!
08/02 …..189.6 ….. Wow! I did not expect that even though yesterday was a good day plan-wise. However, no water since Saturday morning due to the well pump problems. I contacted a local plumber who is not sure if he can come today or tomorrow. Ugg. Anyway, I am being sparse on all water usage to save for toilet so I am probably a bit dehydrated. I don’t know that this weight will stick. I am never confident in a new weight bracket until I hit a certain number within it. If I get to 187 point anything, I will feel it is real. Had some peanut butter last night to up my protein. OMGosh. I’ve been counting carbs so long I didn’t realize how many calories were in there! That put me at the top of my calorie allowance and I couldn’t have a snack later. I don’t think I will do that again anytime soon!
08/03 …..190.4 ….. Gorgeous beautiful clean water flowing from my well again. This uptick is from some massive rehydrating and that cheese pizza last night (both at the same time!). I threw away the crust and kept my calories at 1275 with 503 in the green. So this is likely the water weight and I am hopeful that I can actually dip back into the 180’s soon! When I picked the pizza up from the convenience store (pizza shop was closed), I carried around a bag of little Debbie donuts for dessert (which I put back and didn’t buy). I also put the icecream back into the freezer. And that cheese Danish went right back on the shelf after I carried it around for 5 minutes waiting on the pizza. I held each item close to my heart and longed for them individually or together. But I decided not to self-sabotage and I am so glad I was strong enough. I kept the pizza at 700 calories and made up for it later to stay within goal. That is my NSV and I’m pretty darn proud of it!
08/04 …..191.6 ….. I ended up going out of town yesterday to do some shopping for DGD 1st birthday coming up. Also some building supplies for drywall project. Got my son out of the house and had a nice but high calorie dinner. Today I woke up tired and unrefreshed. However, I will try to get in more movement, drink more water and watch my diet more carefully. It may take a few days but this will come back down.
08/05 …..191.2 ….. Still fighting some water retention from the travel but this looked better on the scale. Well stopped working again yesterday morning so all day yesterday was sheer hell. Doctors appointments today and no easy way to be clean. Part-time neighbor is here visiting next door. I’m going to hit him up for some shower for me and son. This sux!
08/06 …..191.0 ….. Great doctor’s report yesterday. My A1C went from 13.7 down to 9.4 since my May appointment. My Dr. was thrilled. I go back next month for another check. My weight was down 21 pounds from my May appointment. Another good news: The dealership delivered my new(er) vehicle today to me. I love it! I’m hoping it will do as well in the winter months as my last one. Bad news: Although water is still running so far (well man got it going yesterday evening) it is clammering and clanking and he doesn’t think it will hold up. We are planning a new well pump next week. At first he said this weekend, then texted the change. Praying water will keep flowing until then. My University Hospital oncology appointment and mammogram appointment is next Thursday. I am watching extra carefully everything I eat and do until then. Weight is key to the type of cancer that I have (in remission). I want them to know I am trying really hard to do my part.
08/07 …..190.0 ….. Happily it’s still going back down. I still have water and I haven’t seen the bat so all is well today in this tiny little Northern Michigan USA town.
08/08 …..190.6 ….. I hate typing my weight this morning in the color Oh-So-Sad-Blue but that is what I do when any gain is actually something I caused. I was so hungry at 3:00 AM that I went back to the fridge and warmed up my dinner leftovers meant for lunch today. That put me in the red on my MFP food logging by 46 calories after eating all my exercise calories back. I got such a good doctors report and then I got so close to the 180’s by weighing in at 190.0 yesterday I know this was self-sabotage. I do it often. I wonder why I have to ruin it for myself and create more challenges for myself everytime I am near success? Why can’t I just let myself succeed or be happy? BTW, I went back in this morning and changed my food log for yesterday after my late-night meal. Is that what I am supposed to do, even after it’s been posted on the home thread? How do all of you handle this? Also, I would love to hear all thoughts on self-sabotage. I’m still down over 3 pounds this round. I am going to work on my better diet and lifestyle today. I want to finish strong. No self-sabotage today if I've got ANYTHING to say about it!

Yesterday I signed up for a 10K in September. It’s been 4 years since I did a 10K and a half marathon and I thought the goal & the t-shirt would motivate me. I’ll be walking to doing W/R intervals. So my new walking goal (having completely blown off my last one) is 100 miles by Sept. 1. Oh, and this is my lowest weight in 6 months. Finally moving in the right direction!
8/01 - 187.4 - 1419
DH made Boboli pizza last night so I think some of this is salt. He made it pretty healthy, though — lots of veggies. Also a reminder that it can’t just be an easy downhill run! All good. I didn’t go for me extended walk yesterday because of foot cramps Fri night, but I did walk all over Meijer for about half an hour of shopping! Off for a walk in a few minutes. Enjoy your Sunday, all!
8/02 - 187.4 - 1299
I kept my walk short yesterday and didn’t measure or record it. I’m still fighting leg/foot cramps, but I’ve upped my magnesium and it seems to be helping. It’s very cool this morning so I’m shooting for more distance. I was hungry at bed time bought fought it off — no midnight snack! All in all I feel much more in control. I’ve accepted that it’s going to be a long ride. Fat cells are stubborn!
8/03 - 187.9 - 2022
Oops. I had a major snack attach last night. No idea why, but I was very conscious of what I was doing and did it anyway. Back on track. My leg & foot cramps have stopped, so I’m back to walking this morning. Increasing my magnesium has made a big difference in just a few days. Yay!
8/04 - 187.7 - 1460
That’s better all the way around.

Another oops. Oh, well.

Had a snack attack last night. Oh well — onward! I’ve had to skip walks for a few days due to pain in my foot — no idea what I did to it. Swelling is down today, though, so I’ll get out there when the rain and lightning are gone. Have a lovely Saturday!

@deepwoodslady, Donna, I read over my previous days food diary every morning. I add food that I didn't record or I remove food that I didn't eat. Your food diary is YOUR FOOD DIARY. It doesn't matter if you've closed it out for the day. I never use the term self sabotage. It is hunger or stress eating.
Hunger is my cue that I just haven't eaten enough throughout the day. So, I eat a little extra of the proper foods. Sometimes we can be so focused on losing weight that we keep our calories too low. For years I've been in the habit of filling in my next day's food diary ahead of time. I base recorded amounts on what I usually eat. I weigh and measure everything. Some days I need more to eat. I don't deny myself. I also plan a day, every couple of weeks, to eat up to my maintenance calories.
I also don't store any of my trigger foods, so when it comes to stress eating, I have to get in my car and go shopping! That's enough to keep me straight. Now. Last year, I gained 30lbs. Why? I had all my trigger foods in my house.8 -

@coblujay - I love clothes NSVs!!! Congrats on being able to shop in your closet and find the next size down fits!
"Closet" shopping was my favourite NSV early on in my journey, so many times in the past I had bought clothes that I really liked with the intention that I'd "slim into them" and never did. Some had hung in my wardrobe for years and to actually be able to get them out and wear them was such a thrill & reward. You enjoy!!5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
07/30 …..194.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/31 …..192.4 ….. Goodbye water retention! A nice whoosh after being up shedding water all night. I got 6 hours and 10 minutes of sleep which is AMAZING for me so even that didn't interfere with wonderful sleep! Yesterday I was just under allotted calories (I don’t eat back exercise). I didn’t get very much movement in and my water intake was low again. A so-so day but the scale rewarded me for my efforts at home (even though my travel habits are still yet to be desired). Welcome to all the newbies. You will love it here! Thanks Jaine for another round!
08/01 …..191.4 ….. Didn’t have much time to eat yesterday and dinner was very late (within 1 hour of bed). No water here since yesterday morning due to well problems. Seal was fixed (???) but no one can get the pump primed. Perhaps the check gauge went out when it was turned off? IDK but this is horrible!
08/02 …..189.6 ….. Wow! I did not expect that even though yesterday was a good day plan-wise. However, no water since Saturday morning due to the well pump problems. I contacted a local plumber who is not sure if he can come today or tomorrow. Ugg. Anyway, I am being sparse on all water usage to save for toilet so I am probably a bit dehydrated. I don’t know that this weight will stick. I am never confident in a new weight bracket until I hit a certain number within it. If I get to 187 point anything, I will feel it is real. Had some peanut butter last night to up my protein. OMGosh. I’ve been counting carbs so long I didn’t realize how many calories were in there! That put me at the top of my calorie allowance and I couldn’t have a snack later. I don’t think I will do that again anytime soon!
08/03 …..190.4 ….. Gorgeous beautiful clean water flowing from my well again. This uptick is from some massive rehydrating and that cheese pizza last night (both at the same time!). I threw away the crust and kept my calories at 1275 with 503 in the green. So this is likely the water weight and I am hopeful that I can actually dip back into the 180’s soon! When I picked the pizza up from the convenience store (pizza shop was closed), I carried around a bag of little Debbie donuts for dessert (which I put back and didn’t buy). I also put the icecream back into the freezer. And that cheese Danish went right back on the shelf after I carried it around for 5 minutes waiting on the pizza. I held each item close to my heart and longed for them individually or together. But I decided not to self-sabotage and I am so glad I was strong enough. I kept the pizza at 700 calories and made up for it later to stay within goal. That is my NSV and I’m pretty darn proud of it!
08/04 …..191.6 ….. I ended up going out of town yesterday to do some shopping for DGD 1st birthday coming up. Also some building supplies for drywall project. Got my son out of the house and had a nice but high calorie dinner. Today I woke up tired and unrefreshed. However, I will try to get in more movement, drink more water and watch my diet more carefully. It may take a few days but this will come back down.
08/05 …..191.2 ….. Still fighting some water retention from the travel but this looked better on the scale. Well stopped working again yesterday morning so all day yesterday was sheer hell. Doctors appointments today and no easy way to be clean. Part-time neighbor is here visiting next door. I’m going to hit him up for some shower for me and son. This sux!
08/06 …..191.0 ….. Great doctor’s report yesterday. My A1C went from 13.7 down to 9.4 since my May appointment. My Dr. was thrilled. I go back next month for another check. My weight was down 21 pounds from my May appointment. Another good news: The dealership delivered my new(er) vehicle today to me. I love it! I’m hoping it will do as well in the winter months as my last one. Bad news: Although water is still running so far (well man got it going yesterday evening) it is clammering and clanking and he doesn’t think it will hold up. We are planning a new well pump next week. At first he said this weekend, then texted the change. Praying water will keep flowing until then. My University Hospital oncology appointment and mammogram appointment is next Thursday. I am watching extra carefully everything I eat and do until then. Weight is key to the type of cancer that I have (in remission). I want them to know I am trying really hard to do my part.
08/07 …..190.0 ….. Happily it’s still going back down. I still have water and I haven’t seen the bat so all is well today in this tiny little Northern Michigan USA town.
08/08 …..190.6 ….. I hate typing my weight this morning in the color Oh-So-Sad-Blue but that is what I do when any gain is actually something I caused. I was so hungry at 3:00 AM that I went back to the fridge and warmed up my dinner leftovers meant for lunch today. That put me in the red on my MFP food logging by 46 calories after eating all my exercise calories back. I got such a good doctors report and then I got so close to the 180’s by weighing in at 190.0 yesterday I know this was self-sabotage. I do it often. I wonder why I have to ruin it for myself and create more challenges for myself everytime I am near success? Why can’t I just let myself succeed or be happy? BTW, I went back in this morning and changed my food log for yesterday after my late-night meal. Is that what I am supposed to do, even after it’s been posted on the home thread? How do all of you handle this? Also, I would love to hear all thoughts on self-sabotage. I’m still down over 3 pounds this round. I am going to work on my better diet and lifestyle today. I want to finish strong. No self-sabotage today if I've got ANYTHING to say about it!
08/09 …..xxxxx …..
If I eat after midnight I enter it in the new day's log and am then able to adjust that days eating to "accomodate" the late night eating; don't know if that is what should be done, but it seems it's the only way to "manage" it!!4 -
I tried on my size 22 jeans last night and they were really big. Not so big they’ll fall down, but it was a good way to measure some of my progress. I’m into my size 20’s.
Yesss, I have been doing that with winter clearance I bought in smaller sizes to see if they fit now, as well as buying summer clearance for next year in smaller sizes. I will admit though, it is HARD to get rid of my clothes that are too big. I went through the house with a cute jumper I'd never worn and thought I could atleast one wear--my family let me know right quick that I needed to change
Enjoy and continued success! 4 -

And today's has got to be from the 50 thousand trips to the bathroom yesterday and the middle ot the night. I assume it was the PMS bloat (first of the month) letting loose or inflammation going down. Either way, I'm not complaining because today is eat out day and the drops are my motivaters to eat within my daily limits.

SW: 180.0
Challenge Goal: 173.5
Ended up last challenge over my starting weight. I know it’s just water retention, but it’s super frustrating nonetheless. I set my goal based on last challenge’s goal.
Adding my Happy Scale Trend because these fluctuations are messing with my head. The trend gives me a better view of my overall progress.
Day/Weight/Comment
8/1: 178.8, Trend 177.8
8/2: 178.4, Trend 177.9. Time to change things up. Upping my cardio and adding strength training.
8/3: 176.2, Trend 177.8
8/4: 175.0, Trend 177.7. Finally. Now will it bounce up again tomorrow?
8/5: 174.8, Trend 177.4
8/6: 174.2, Trend 176.8. Back to work tonight and all weekend. I expect my weight will do wonky things, but I’ll do my best.
8/7: 175.4, Trend 175.1. Drank only about a third of my water last night. 😔

So the good news is that I've doubled the amount I've lost in the last 4 rounds, from 100 grams to 200 grams. The bad news is that I'm only losing 200 grams this round, equivalent to a deficit of 1 1/2 apples per day.9 -
Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this challenge going!
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 158 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.
Next short-term goal: 162.X
169....168....167....166....165....164....163....162.X
SW: 169.2
7/31: 169.2 - Rowed and walked. Stayed within calorie range. 64oz water, and lots of vegetables and fruit. Good start!
8/01: 169.1
8/02: 169.6 I might see a higher weight for a few days. I think it would have been higher if I hadn't weighed so late today. I blew past even my normal high-calorie days that are planned. I mean way past - salt, carbs, sugar, drinks! However, it's just one day. It will not become two! I need water, water and more water.
8/03: 169.5
8/04: 169.3 My weight is nothing to get excited about today but I am excited that I did not let my one day binge go into 2 or 3 days! Yay!
8/05: DNW - early appointments
8/06: 168.7 I'm happy to see 168.x. Rowed 30 mins. Water still not what it should be. Hopefully 80oz today.
8/07: 168.7 It's always a good day when I don't bounce up after a day when I drop.
8/08: 168.6 Enjoying the vegetables from our garden - zucchini , summer squash, swiss chard, and cucumbers. Tomatoes are not ripe yet.
8/09
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
If I quit now, I'll soon be back where I started. And when I started, I so desperately wanted to be where I am now!
There is no going back! NOT THIS TIME!9 -
Hello everyone, I know this round is about over, but, I just wanted say Hi, and that I'm looking forward to R159.
You can call me Kitty and I'm an Okie from Oklahoma, born and raised here. Won't officially start until (8/10), so I'll wait until then for my first weigh in.
I'll be back on the first day of R159! Best wishes as you finish this round and start the next one. 😄
