8/26 - 147.2 - Still not sure why my weight is trending a bit high this round. I got rid of the last of the bloated feeling yesterday and feeling much lighter today. Working from home, I managed to finish everything I needed at work yesterday and focusing on the computer stuff today. Just went for a 1 mile run. Ankle little achy, but not as bad as last week. Hip is tight, though, so I cut it short so I could stretch instead of going for 1.5 or 2 miles and possibly causing issues. Lunch is already made up for me (carrots and hummus, strawberries, red pepper and kielbasa dish) Unsure on dinner but BF has been adding veggies to the sides this week, thankfully. Now time to catch up on everyone's posts! Lots of reading to do

Previous Day's Comments8/20 - I'm not entirely sure what is going on. Pizza usually doesn't cause this big of an uptick, but maybe today was one of those odd days? No run, I tossed and turned last night so didn't force myself up early. Feel better sleeping in that little bit, though. Pushing water for sure, to get this weight back down. I remember when I was so excited to see 146.9! Now it's a "high" weight. Crazy how time has changed haha I'm just happy I've stayed out of the 150s.
8/21 - DNP
8/22 - Day 2 no TMI. Also spent Friday and Saturday sweating faster than I could drink water. I gave it a good try to keep up, but I know I didn't. That's alright. Commuting into work, have my bento I'm about to go prepare while I know I can for lunch tomorrow. Full of portion controlled yum. Will have water. Tomorrow is a research day so should be able to keep cool and replenish water.
8/23 - Back down a little thanks to a ton of water. Definitely a super late salty dinner. Our friend's step mom passed and we went to her memorial so dinner was served about 30 minutes before I went to bed. Slept horribly, too. Not looking forward to today. Oh well. Such is life, I chose to commute. Hard thing is that I'm not accustomed to the early mornings yet. Will try to make steps while doing research. We shall see what today holds.
8/24 - Slowly creeping down. Wish I didn't have to eat so close to bed, I definitely notice the increase in bloat in the mornings due to it. Oh well, what can you do? Dinner is a family affair so fasting through it isn't exactly an option around here. Water at 90oz yesterday and food was good. Dinner a bit salty (BF cooked an asian-inspired dish) but was very delicious. Thankful he cooks (: Hopefully I just have today and tomorrow to commute
8/25 - My scale tried to scare me with popping up at 152.2 at first. Then 174.5 and finally 174.4. Whew. I was VERY bloated out of nowhere yesterday. Not sure what caused it at all and it lasted through the day. Still feel a little bit of it, but not nearly as bad as yesterday. Hopefully that'll stay away today. Not sure I hit the full 90oz, but did drink quite a bit of water. Guessing minimum of 75oz. Today will determine if I commute tomorrow so hoping for a very productive day.

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.

I was able to stay under my calorie goal yesterday even though I had Jimmy Johnโs for lunch and Applebeeโs for supper. (both were for meetings) I was able to make some wise decisions from the menus. Had to pass on some really good-looking things. I like that the menus have calorie information. They reveal some surprising choices that would actually fill up an entire dayโs budget in one meal.
8/25: 204.6
Yup, this is a โfalse positiveโ in 2021 vernacular. It will pop right back up upon โre-testing.โ
I have heard from DWโs sisters that they will be bringing plenty of grazing opportunities with them this weekend. I am going to try to be selective and only eat what I really love. Sometimes I find myself tossing things in my mouth simply because it is available and I crave chewing. I need to let myself get a little hungryโฆ

Day/Weight/Steps from previous day/Comment
08/20 - 162.8 STEPS -19,850. Big drop from yesterday, hopefully that's the water weight from all the camping activities leaving. Didn't eat enough yesterday and lots of walking so I expect a bounce back up tomorrow. Not going to adjust Round GW just yet. Feeling tired today as only 4 hours sleep so it's going to be a slog to get the steps in.
08/21 - 163.2 STEPS - 10,771. Had more fibre than usual yesterday and not enough water so am not surprised to be back up a bit. Still below goal but no unhatched chickens counted yet. Rainy day and lots of housework so getting my steps in might be tricky.
08/22 - 161.0 STEPS 1,635. Really poor performance on the steps yesterday as I was stuck indoors on the computer all day. Not great with the food and drink either so I'm shocked to see another big drop today! I must've been holding on to a lot of water. Glad to be back at a weight from ten days ago, fingers crossed it doesn't swing back up again too far tomorrow!
08/23 - 162.2 STEPS 7,090. A little short of my walking target yesterday, went for a lovely walk in the woods but felt really sleepy when I got home so spent the rest of the day watching movies. Food was on point but I did have some yoghurt and granola before bed and I wouldn't usually have carbs in the evening which may account for the uptick on the scales. Waiting on a call from the GP to discuss concerns I have with my heart, really nervous as I don't know if I'll be able to communicate my symptoms over the phone. Once the call is done I'm going for a walk in the sunshine to release the tension.
08/24 - 161.2 STEPS 11,700. Good day yesterday all in all. Went for a 3 mile walk in the evening around my town and discovered some parts I'd not seen before. Felt slightly unsafe walking alone in the evening though, I guess this is one reason why people get dogs. Cats don't care! My birthday is coming up this Saturday and I'm off to London to visit my bro for a few nights then pub lunch and cinema on Sunday, it's gonna be a challenge to keep on track! On the last day of this challenge I will be away from the scales so will have to wait until Monday to weigh in.
08/25 - 160.4 STEPS 10,419. Another good day and another drop, so close to the 150s! Went for an evening walk again after spending a lot of the day in the car. I'm finding I need to fit in at least a one hour walk each day to achieve my steps goal in top of my normal steps activity. I think I need to get up earlier and go for a short morning walk before the rest of the house wakes up. Snacking in the evening of yoghurt and granola and ham and cheese didn't seem to have a bad impact, surprised at that.
08/26 - 160.0 STEPS 12,520. Yay, I hit my first mini goal today, 20lbs lost! Yesterday was a really good day, busy all day and I had lots of energy. I think all the extra walking is doing me a world of good, I don't feel breathless and sluggish anymore, I'm sleeping much better and getting more done. I read a thread this morning about ways to up your NEAT and have been consciously trying to keep my body moving by taking the longer route to get to places and avoiding multi tasking so I have to do more trips around the house. I'm also trying to stand still and sit down less, pacing when I am looking at my phone and putting things away when they are done with rather than piling things up to deal with later. So far I have done 6,778 steps today and it's only 1 30pm, which is double my usual by this time.
Hopefully I won't have to walk for 1.5 hours this evening to get my steps in if I don't want to.

8/20 DNW - On vacation - still tracking and trying to stay under maintenance calorie levels. Lots of walking and good fun.
8/21 DNW - Weโve been hiking, but not exercising at my usual intensity. Iโm really going to be interested to see how Iโve managed without a scale to keep me on track. I wonโt be weighing in until Tuesday.
8/22 DNW - Still on vacation. I had my indulgence meal yesterday. Today we are kayaking. Iโm really looking forward to it!
8/23 DNW - Final day of vacation. Iโll be weighing in tomorrow. Overall, my eating has been pretty goodโฆunder maintenance levels for most days. Keeping my fingers crossed. We have been walking and hiking. Kayaking was cancelled due to high water levels.
8/24 235.6 (-1.4) Iโm thrilled to be down almost a pound and a half after visiting my son and being off my usual routine. Hiking every day, limited eating out and logging most meals was really helpful. My son was really encouraging me to stay on track and was happy making meal decisions based on what I needed. It's great to have such wonderful support.
8/25 235 (-2.0) Yay! Officially down 10% of my body weight. The pool where I was swimming closed for the season and hours are really limited at other pools so I need to reevaluate and adapt my exercise plan. My local indoor pool opens in late September. Iโve really enjoyed swimming and want to continue. Until then, it might be Orange Theory Fitness and hiking on the weekends, pending weather.
8/26 235.6 (-1.4) A little bit of a bounce after eating later than usual yesterday and Iโm not sure I drank enough water. Iโll fix that today.8 -

8/23 199.3 Well I had Chinese food on Friday night and apparently it stayed with me a bit. I realize that I havenโt logged food last week at all. So that is my weekly goal to log all food all week. Including the Oreo cookie (apple cider donut) that someone just brought over to my desk. Food does not equal comfort, food does not equal comfortโฆmy new chantโฆ
8/24 200.9 My clothes are starting to seem really tight. Even when I am working out lately, my heart isnโt in it anymore. When I go to Zumba class on Saturday, I have to really concentrate to stay in the moment. I know that right now I am going through some form of PTSD and trying very hard not to fall into depression but I am struggling. Can stress make everything you eat just stay with you? I thought I did pretty well yesterday but when I put in all my numbers, very high sodium, high fat, high sugar 2234 calories. Well thereโs my answer. It felt like a regular day though. I felt like I was being good but upon review, I really wasnโt.
8/25 200.3 1990 calories better but still higher than it should. High sodium, high sugar.
8/26 198.1 1624 calories, I need more days like this.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/19 โฆ..187.8โฆ.. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
08/20 โฆ..186.6 โฆ.. (trend weight 189.6) My new low since before Covid. Iโm dreaming of the 170โs. It may be awhile but it is within reach before Christmas if I stay committed and on track! Wishing everyone the very best of luck and circumstances this round. Letโs do this!
08/21 โฆ..186.8 โฆ.. (trend weight 189.3) My renovation handmen were here until late (9:30 pm). One helped prime my well pump and itโs still working this morning! Hopeful! I didnโt get in the walks I wanted and my dinner was very late and eaten in bed. Frozen pizza filled with sodium so I am happy the scale isnโt going crazy on me this morning. I finally settled in at about 11:30 pm to an Episode of Columbo which is one of my greatest pleasures. I had a heckofaday (with water problems and drywall dust) and deserved all two hours of it! Today I have pulled pork going in the crock pot to share with the workers.
08/22 โฆ..185.4 โฆ.. (trend weight 188.9) Thatโs better! Ended up having dessert last night which was unnecessary really. A double whammy โ A little too much and totally of the wrong thing but the scale was still kind to me this morning. It was probably catching up to some good days a few days ago. Today is my DGDโs 1st birthday. She is about 65 miles away so thereโs a tad bit of travel and there will be food and cake. I expect an uptick tomorrow but a wonderful day today! I will consider today my higher calorie day to keep my metabolism from dropping. Making it part of my plan instead of against it will help keep me in check in the coming days.
08/23 โฆ..187.4 โฆ.. (trend weight 188.8)The birthday party was fantastic for my DGD turning age 1. So beautiful with lots of things for toddlers to do (trampoline, kiddie pool, castle playing, bouncy house etc). Food was catered and delicious. I didnโt eat much real food yesterday, mostly junk. The cake was so sweet that, even after taking off most of the frosting, my teeth almost fell out. I felt like I died and went to heaven, truthfully. It was the land of milk and honey. Abundance. Soโฆ..two pounds later, I am planning an extra good day today. Iโll never forget her birthday celebration, but I will forget these 2 pounds. They will be gone before the end of this round!
08/24 โฆ..187.4 โฆ.. (trend weight 188.6) Still trending down and still below starting weight which is goal met. Yesterday I remained under calorie and with pretty decent macros. However, I didnโt drink enough water and I must have crawled like a snail or a turtle (at best) all day because I got in basically zero extra activity. So I am not surprised by no change on the scale. I will try to some lower carb healthier choices today and see what happens. On a positive note, today was morning 4 with water (and without priming well). Perhaps theyโve finally got the right settings!
08/25 โฆ..187.0 โฆ.. (trend weight 188.5) I am going out of town in a little while unexpectedly. Rain is due and the planned outside project is on hold for the day so itโs a perfect day to go buy the power/pressure washer I need. Lunch will be out, probably Chinese or Thai food. I drink less water when I am away from home, but Iโll try to get in extra tonight and tomorrow to offset the sodium. I do expect a temporary uptick on the scale tomorrow but temporary is the key word hereโฆ..
08/26 โฆ..188.4 โฆ.. (trend weight 188.5) After my travel day yesterdayโฆ.I deserve this. Feeling very very very tired and sluggish todayโฆโฆI deserve that too!

Round 160 โ Aug 20 - Aug 29
I started at 173 in July, reduced calories which forced smarter choices and getting some exercise.
Goal for these 10 days, lose 1-2 pounds and get better at drinking water.
Day/Weight/Comment
8/20 - 168 lb /
8/21 - 166 lb/ retaining water yesterday faulty scale, not sure. I did drink water but not as much as I should have, will try to be better today!
8/22 - 166lb/did better at drinking water
8/23 - 166lb
8/24 - 166lb
8/25 - 166lb/I didnt have a scale before I joined MFP, I just went by how my clothes fit. I got the scale as that is how everything was calculated and measured with the app. I seem to move around 166.3 one day, 165.5 the next. For now I am rounding to the nearest pound as either my scale is faulty or I am as that seems like a lot of fluctuation!. I have been drinking a ridiculous amount of water (for me) so that is a plus this week!
8/26 - 165lb/maybe too much water yesterday, I didnt eat much as I felt so gluggy.6 -
Alright, did some research -- my lunches are things I've eaten often enough in the past that I'm not too concerned. Except hummus. I've eaten it, but not very often and not much. Turns out, it can cause tummy and digestive issues. Of those issues, I check the box on about 75% of them. So I'm going to cut out hummus today and see if things settle down a little. If it does, I know I can't have hummus. This bloating is far worse than if I had straight dairy! (though hummus doesn't cause the nausea the dairy does so a trade-off I guess)
Here's to today's body experiment and possible lessons learned!9 -
@deepwoodslady At Chinese/Thai skip the rice or noodles and ask for steamed vegetables. Much less likely to cause an insulin/carb reaction. I still get my fave General Tsoโs chicken but donโt get the reaction I would if I ate (even part of) that massive pile of rice.4
-
@tiabirdie56 Tish, I used something like that weight predictor years ago and it said it was going to take some crazy long period to lose my weight. It was downright depressing. Either that or I couldnโt cut my calories by the percentage I wanted. Since I donโt count calories, I didnโt and donโt care about them and lost the weight much sooner than that PREDICTION. I ate protein and fat yesterday. Down 2.5 today. Bye bye carb loaded weekend!4

I expected the uptick after last nightโs pitch-in with my creativity group. Really great food, definitely not for weight loss! But thatโs okay once in a while. All good!

Ok, thatโs Thursday evening speaking. Yesterday wasnโt perfect but also wasnโt awful. Today is all planned out. All good! Happy Saturday!

Had a lot of salt yesterday, then a lot of water, so I think itโs evening out. Itโs already getting sticky hot out at 9:30, so Iโm off for a walk before it becomes unbearable. Nice rain last night, so my garden is happy! Have a good Sunday.

With the oppressive heat the past few days Iโm not getting much exercise. I started to walk yesterday morning, but felt woozy and came home. I had heat stroke decades ago when I was teaching in Tunisia and Iโm still pretty sensitive to overheating. Anyway, trying to watch it and move around the house as much as possible. Not the same as a nice walk! Stay cool,and saf3 out there!

Spent all morning at the ER with DH. Heโs fine. Waiting for lab work but probably just a very painful UTI. Boy does that throw a wrench into the morning! Probably cut my calories for the day, though, with no breakfast!

@christycampbell1256 I had a video once where a person explained why daily weighing was better for women. Basically, it said that our hormones fluctuate daily and those affect our weight. Weighing only on a weekly basis, you might miss those low or high days. Even when I did a program that said to only weigh weekly on their scale I weighed daily at home. Fluctuations happen. ๐5

8/22 - 60.1kg, everything worked out okay yesterday because I ended up having salad with roast chick for dinner
8/23 - 60.2kg, didn't log it yesterday, first part of the day fine, Milo at afternoon work break the problem

โข in Maintenance for over 2 years.
โข Smart BMI - optimal weight.
โข Muscle/Fat %ages in normal rangeJust because Covid restrictions arenโt compulsory doesnโt mean theyโre not necessarily. People are still dying out thereโฆโฆโฆ
๐ทTake care! Stay safe!๐ท
August 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:JGM10D ~|~ Round 160- 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 โ
- 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 โ with 2 months to spare
- 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 โ Strength training has slowed progress, but thatโs okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2021
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

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.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ Round 160 (round 92 for me ) as always, I 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 โ 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 โ we have reached โfreedom dayโ, 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/Steps from previous day/Comment
08/20 - 162.8 STEPS -19,850. Big drop from yesterday, hopefully that's the water weight from all the camping activities leaving. Didn't eat enough yesterday and lots of walking so I expect a bounce back up tomorrow. Not going to adjust Round GW just yet. Feeling tired today as only 4 hours sleep so it's going to be a slog to get the steps in.
08/21 - 163.2 STEPS - 10,771. Had more fibre than usual yesterday and not enough water so am not surprised to be back up a bit. Still below goal but no unhatched chickens counted yet. Rainy day and lots of housework so getting my steps in might be tricky.
08/22 - 161.0 STEPS 1,635. Really poor performance on the steps yesterday as I was stuck indoors on the computer all day. Not great with the food and drink either so I'm shocked to see another big drop today! I must've been holding on to a lot of water. Glad to be back at a weight from ten days ago, fingers crossed it doesn't swing back up again too far tomorrow!
08/23 - 162.2 STEPS 7,090. A little short of my walking target yesterday, went for a lovely walk in the woods but felt really sleepy when I got home so spent the rest of the day watching movies. Food was on point but I did have some yoghurt and granola before bed and I wouldn't usually have carbs in the evening which may account for the uptick on the scales. Waiting on a call from the GP to discuss concerns I have with my heart, really nervous as I don't know if I'll be able to communicate my symptoms over the phone. Once the call is done I'm going for a walk in the sunshine to release the tension.
08/24 - 161.2 STEPS 11,700. Good day yesterday all in all. Went for a 3 mile walk in the evening around my town and discovered some parts I'd not seen before. Felt slightly unsafe walking alone in the evening though, I guess this is one reason why people get dogs. Cats don't care! My birthday is coming up this Saturday and I'm off to London to visit my bro for a few nights then pub lunch and cinema on Sunday, it's gonna be a challenge to keep on track! On the last day of this challenge I will be away from the scales so will have to wait until Monday to weigh in.
08/25 - 160.4 STEPS 10,419. Another good day and another drop, so close to the 150s! Went for an evening walk again after spending a lot of the day in the car. I'm finding I need to fit in at least a one hour walk each day to achieve my steps goal in top of my normal steps activity. I think I need to get up earlier and go for a short morning walk before the rest of the house wakes up. Snacking in the evening of yoghurt and granola and ham and cheese didn't seem to have a bad impact, surprised at that.
08/26 - 160.0 STEPS 12,520. Yay, I hit my first mini goal today, 20lbs lost! Yesterday was a really good day, busy all day and I had lots of energy. I think all the extra walking is doing me a world of good, I don't feel breathless and sluggish anymore, I'm sleeping much better and getting more done. I read a thread this morning about ways to up your NEAT and have been consciously trying to keep my body moving by taking the longer route to get to places and avoiding multi tasking so I have to do more trips around the house. I'm also trying to stand still and sit down less, pacing when I am looking at my phone and putting things away when they are done with rather than piling things up to deal with later. So far I have walked .... today and it's only 1 30pm!
Hopefully I won't have to walk for 1.5 hours this evening to get my steps in if I don't want to.
08/27 - 160.4 STEPS 10,866 Started off as a really good day calorie wise but ended at the pub followed by burger van on the way home, whoops! Had a cheese burger but left the bun and had a box of salad with it, not too 'naughty'. Paying for it this morning with a bad head and a 0.4 gain. Oh well, I had fun! Just got to resist the urge to have a lazy day today.
