I’m new here, and I love the idea of this challenge. I can do anything for 10 days!

I’m a 36YO F. Highest weight ever was 395. Current weight is 222.2 My first goal for this round is to get under 220. My second goal is to keep carbs under 100g net carbs each day. Third goal is to keep consistent with my strength training and cardio.

SW: 222.2
Day/Weight/Comment
8/30 222.2 Great day! 57g net carbs, and both strength and cardio workouts done!
8/31 221.4 Officially hit 20lbs down since starting MFP on 8/15! Another successful day- 63g net carbs, and cardio done!
9/1 220.4 Another great day! 67g net carbs and a strength training session complete. Just getting in a few more steps before bed tonight. Feeling great though! Maybe I’ll even see a new decade tomorrow. 🤞
9/2 220.4 Another good day. 62g net carbs and 30 mins on the Peloton done. Still 🤞for the new decade, hopefully tomorrow!
9/3 221.0 Not exactly the number I was hoping for. Still, another successful day. Didn’t do my strength training because after my crazy busy day, I was too tired. I’ll do it Saturday, no worries! My goal is 3x a week, and I’m at 2x already, so no sweat at all! Still crossing my fingers on that new decade.
9/4 220.6 Okay okay, getting there! Had a great day. Skipped my strength training session because I was so tired from all I had going on today. I’ll get it in tomorrow for sure! Now if I can just see the next decade down tomorrow finally…. I think I finally WILL!

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ Round 161 (round 93 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 get back on track – 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.

SW:135.2
Day/Weight/Comment
8/30 135.2 - 9.78 hilly miles walked yesterday, 87 flights of stairs!! Just in calories and macros.
8/31 135.2 - more coastal path walks, 10 miles 183 flights of stairs, climbed the highest cliff on the south coast - Golden Cap. All macros in credit.
9/1 135.8 – 12.96 miles & 162 flights of stairs, but after a pizza lunch, with cider, a shared cream tea with DH & then late cheese, crackers & port with friends, I was well over. No walking today as we travel back home. I really need to get myself back on track, I know I keep saying it, but I must DO it !!!!
9/2 135.2 – kept in limits
9/3 136.2 – oh dear!!



9/4 135 – that's better, a perfect food day yesterday, but one day doesn't get me back to maintenance, I need to be consistent, plan on another good day today. 9.54 miles walked yesterday.
9/5 135 – 9.82 miles walked, really good food & water day – consistency is key!

@deepwoodslady - I'm so sorry to hear of your sad loss - tragic. You and your family are in my thoughts xx.

I have never stopped using my mask in public indoor places, just don't feel confident without it and I never thought that I would hear myself saying that. You keep safe.

08/29 DNW

Last round began straight after a camping activity holiday, ended after birthday celebrations and included my TOMO so it wasn't the best of circumstances for monitoring weight, with lots of retaining water and disruptions to my routine. Glad to have reached my goal but now ready to put August behind me and knuckle down. I have a 2.5lb loss goal this round, which might be too ambitious but I have a feeling I'm due a drop in the next day or so. We'll see! Exceeded my step goal total so I'm adding 500 more each day, also adding a sleep goal of 8hrs minimum per night to try and reduce stress levels and attempting to cut out alcohol for Sober September as this can be a real problem for me.

08/30 162.0 STEPS 13,606 SLEEP 8hr14m Didn't eat much yesterday as I was feeling pretty rough, lots of walking and standing around. A really great time with old friends and family but glad to get home and recover!

08/31 160.4 STEPS 8,426 SLEEP 8hr23m Low energy day again yesterday so a little short on steps. Went for a 3 mile walk in the afternoon which wiped me out. Really hungry in the evening and ended up snacking and had a couple of drinks. Feeling much fresher today so hopefully I'll get more activity in.

09/01 161.0 STEPS 9,520 SLEEP 8hr34m Busy day yesterday, early morning walk then gardening and house reno stuff. I had a proper meal for lunch rather than just a banana but still felt really snacky in the evening so ended up over my cals a little bit. I'm really ready to get into the 150s now. Feeling a bit blue today but I've got a long walk with my mum planned for later which will hopefully lift my spirits.

09/02 159.4 STEPS 13,289 SLEEP 8hr27m Lovely walk yesterday enjoying all the wild flowers and late summer colours, about 4.5 miles. I recently got the Ordinance Survey GPS app on my phone and it's revolutionised my walks, thoroughly recommend it for UK walkers! Made it into the 150s today, so that's good, trend weight is still 161.7 but it's nice to see as a taste of what's to come😁

09/03 158.8 STEPS 9,694 SLEEP 7hr2m Good day yesterday, although being lazy in the evenings and snacking is starting to creep in, uh oh! Maybe I need to start going to the gym in the evening to keep my energy levels up and stay occupied. I've been waiting until I get down to 150lbs before joining any classes but I could go and use the weights and machines I suppose...

09/04 157.6 STEPS 2,053 SLEEP? I really didn't expect this loss today and probably don't deserve it as I had a REALLY lazy day yesterday resting and watching telly, just goes to show you can't predict when your body will decide to let go of some weight. Gonna try and make up for it today with a really long walk, everyone's away for the weekend so I can do whatever I like! Target steps today 15,000

09/05 157.8 STEPS 20,926 SLEEP 7hr42m Glad to see this number hasn't jumped up much since yesterday, I was expecting a few pounds gain as I'm feeling really stiff this morning and no tmi. Proud of myself for doing a 9 mile walk solo across countryside using the Ordinance Survey map app as a guide, I absolutely love the freedom and confidence it gives me, you know you're not going to get lost or be yelled at for trespassing and you get to see the most beautiful peaceful places. I did get chased by a bull though!

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
8/30 203.0 Walked 3.8 + 1, 1402 cal, 81 net carbs, AF. Cancelled plans with friends to dine out since my friend’s family has many in the hospital with covid and DH was not feeling well. Finished reading The Forest of Vanishing Stars by Kristin Harmel.
8/31 203.7 Walked 3.25 + 1 miles, 1568 cal, 172 net carbs, AF. Walked to the library to drop off my book Then another short walk in the evening after dinner with DH. FINISHED my 100 miles for August! I’m walking on the 31st anyway. Scale bumped up due to terrible choices for meals … breakfast - waffles & sausage; lunch - spaghetti & salad; dinner - Salisbury steak w/ rice & gravy & green beans. Few veggies and lots of carbs.
9/1 204.6 Walked 2.4 miles, 2257 cal, 141 net carbs, 1 glass of wine. Slice of Berry Chantilly Cake on top of a late dinner. DH’s sister unexpectedly drove in to stay with us … celebrated her birthday which is Friday since we rarely see her and it was a treat. Not surprised that the scale jumped right up!
9/2 204.3 No morning exercise, feeling blah, walked 1 mile in the evening, 1730 cal, 130 net carbs, 1 glass wine w/ frozen pizza. DH met with allergist over Zoom and he thinks we might have covid … constant headaches for days w/ fatigue, tightness in DH’s chest … prescribed Prednisone for DH. Went to 8 local pharmacies and they were out of the rapid covid test (BinaxNOW). Scheduled PCR Covid 19 test Thursday morning but won’t have the results for 2-5 days. Our son has a rapid covid test and is dropping it off today. Good news is that we are both vaccinated. Not sure where we would have picked up covid … restaurant? grocery store? My sister that is an elementary teacher? Moved trip to fishing camp out to the next weekend.
9/3 204.1 Walked 3 + 3.8 miles, 1588 cal, 116 net carbs, AF. Our son brought us a BinaxNOW covid home test kit … it was negative! So we both must have really bad colds since Sunday. The Prednisone is working for DH. Waiting for the PCR test results. Decided to skip strength training class this week since I didn’t want to expose the others in the class.
9/4 203.9 Walked 3.4 + 1.3 miles, 2026 cal, 159 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine.
9/5 203.9 Hiked 1.3 miles in Austin … time in a car 3 hrs both ways today, 1893 cal, 150 net carbs, <1/2 glass beer with lunch, 2 glasses wine with dinner.

8/30 235.2 (-.4) Yesterday, my sister and I hiked almost 6 miles. It felt great to get back in the groove after not exercising so much last week. I took time to assess why I was discouraged over the last few days and wrote this blog post. https://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/coblujay/view?id=the-weight-loss-grumps-a-twelve-week-update-995464 I never planned to give up, but this clarity has really helped me approach this next phase with more focus and a good plan.
8/31 235 (-.6) I ate late last night and didn’t get enough water. I was within my calorie goal so I’m expecting a decent loss tomorrow or Wednesday. Today I’m swimming and taking my dogs for a long walk. Feeling hopeful!!
9/1 233.4 (-2.2) There it is. I know I’ve been working hard, but the scale has been slow to respond. I drank all my water yesterday, ate earlier and swam 725 yards. It’s nice to see the payoff.
9/2 231.4 (-4.2) I stepped on the scale twice just to make sure. How could I drop 2 pounds in one day after dropping 1.6 the day before? That would be fabulous if it’s accurate, but I’ll give it a few days to see if it’s real. Still pretty happy!!
9/3 230.8 (-4.8) I’m pleasantly shocked by the drop over the last few days. I’ve heard of whooshes, but didn’t know I could drop this quickly months into this journey. Yesterday I swam 1050 yards. I’d been challenged by a friend who is swimming also, so I just kept swimming until my tracker hit over 1000. Today is my indulgence meal and I’ve been looking forward to it for the last few days. So, tomorrow and Sunday I’ll have a bump up in weight before starting back down.
9/4 230.6 (-5.0) Still expecting a bump from my indulgence meal yesterday. Prepping for an art show, so I didn’t get much exercise in yesterday or even today. Tomorrow is hiking with my sister.
9/5 230.6 (-5.0) No bump so far. I can’t believe how quickly these ten day rounds go by. It feels like this one just got started. Looking at the previous challenges reminds me that even 1.4 pounds lost every ten days adds up to a big improvement in my health. Today, I’m grateful.

So far I've just walked the dogs for 10 minutes (less than 20 calories burned!) Mares are getting their feet trimmed today; my hoof trimmer is awesome. Last time she brought me the two ducklings (Anne and Diana). Hopefully there won't be any rain this afternoon so I can go for a long walk (two dogs and I optimistically went out yesterday afternoon and came back looking like drowned rats; the dogs weren't impressed with me and the chiweenie in particular kept giving me very dirty looks over her shoulder.)

9/1: 57.8 kg - doing well so far with eating less carbs (e.g. No rice atm, but did have buttered toast) and focusing on my protein and veg intake.

9/2: 57.4 kg - my interview went well! I was only asked questions abojt my work background. The interviewer was 15 minutes late though... It made me feel like they didnt value my time. Ill hwar back next week if I move forward to the next rounds or not. Such a busy and long day ystd, but had a big breakfast and pasta lunch to keep me energized! Went for a nice hike afterwards.
9/3: 57.6 kg
9/4: 57.4 kg (126.3 lbs) - lots of hiking today! Was out the whole day, so lunch/dinner was late. I had croissant and marble loaf for breakfast, and szechuan beef for dinner. A bit dehydrated tho, but will make sure to drink lots of water tomorrow! I started preparing my products to contribute to swag bags for a local pop up vendor market in october. Exciting!

@deepwoodslady Donna, I’m so sorry for your loss. I wish we could convince our neighbor/friend that this scenario is real. He says everyone is lying! Sending prayers for you and all who share your loss.

@musicsax I agree with your mask statement. Same guy mentioned above says there is no reason to wear them. My DH told him that if that’s how he feels, the next time he has surgery, he should tell the doctors and nurses not to wear them in the OR. As if they would listen!!! If/when we get to cruise again, I will have a mask for every outfit!

@tiabirdie56 Tish, how do you decide when it's time to take a diet break and how does that look when you do it? I'm fourteen weeks in and considering eating at maintenance for a week after sixteen weeks or so.

@coblujay, This is my first time taking a diet break. Historically, for me, "diet break" happened when I started craving certain foods. Its difficult to recover from that. It seems to have worked out pretty good weight wise. Honestly, I didn't need a break, but after 8 weeks, I could see signs of diet fatigue in DH & DS. They were beginning to eat off plan. I did enjoy my break. Going into it, I allowed myself to eat one thing off plan each day. I think I had only one day close to maintenance, that was yesterday. Tomorrow I'll have to navigate carefully. I'll be at my son's home to celebrate our b'day's together. I hope there's no cake. Lol. Since this worked out well for me, I may take a break every 8 weeks.

8/30 116.5 AF last night but woke up with a headache, Jimmy John’s Unwich planned for early lunch today - YUM!
8/31 118.0 AF again last night and had a headache when I woke at 4:20AM. Several months ago, the doctor had asked if I thought alcohol was causing my headaches. I really don’t drink that much. Maybe a double shot with a liter of diet tonic over several hours. Anyway, I decided to run my own little experiment.
9/1 118.5 AF, no peanuts, no SF dark chocolate. No TMI for a few days. Had a h/a when I went to bed but not when I woke up. Going to lunch with a neighbor today.
9/2 118.5 AF, 3/4 oz peanuts, 1 square of chocolate. Woke up with h/a. No hugs necessary as I’m sure it is related to arthritis in my neck and goes away fairly quickly. Definitely not alcohol related!
9/3 118.0 AF, 3/4 oz peanuts

My condolences to you and her family.

@musicsax and @quiltingjaine
I'm a nurse that works as a project manager and have been supporting our HC system since the start of COVID on planning/monitoring surge of patients, restarting services with new processes, and organizing vaccine clinics. Like many of my colleagues, it's been consuming work way beyond a 40 hour work week. I recently helped out at an outdoor antique fair where a young man mentioned "it was just made up". I wanted to scream. I don't get it.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/29 …..188.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
08/30 …..189.2 ….. (trend weight 188.5) Not the best way to start. It was a bit of a lazy day yesterday but my meals were on point. However, the snack monster hit me last night and while it wasn’t too bad, it put me over calorie and into the red. Today will be better. I don’t like looking down the throat of the 190’s when I’ve already put that chapter behind me.

08/31 …..186.8 ….. (trend weight 188.3) One day, one step, one decision at a time…… A good day yesterday. Going for another today.

09/01 …..182.8 ….. (trend weight 187.8) I find this weight hard to believe today. 4 pound loss overnight??? (After a 2.4 loss the day before???) My scale is reliable and I stepped on it 3 times but I don’t trust this and consider it a fluctuation. I did everything right. I had TM. I finally slept over 4 and ½ hours which is good for me> But that is a bit much. Traveling today and tomorrow. Plenty of sitting and restaurant food. I’ll be home each night and will keep up with the posts. Friday morning my scale reading will not be pretty but that is how I roll.

09/02 …..185.2 ….. (trend weight 187.5)That is more like it. It is still down from day before yesterday and feels more permanent than the extra low scale reading yesterday. More travel today so I know the scale will be up tomorrow (Friday). I am going to count this coming Sunday morning as my accurate weight. That will give me 24-48 hours to exercise again and shed some travel/restaurant water retention. Until then, I’ll type my weight in maintenance black. I’ll be working hard over the weekend to put this travel behind me!

09/03 …..187.5 ….. (trend weight 187.7) Day one of expected bump up after multiple days of travel. Only 3 hours & 1 minute of sleep last night. Only hours between last meal and weigh-in due to lack of sleep. No water yesterday hardly and no TMI today. None of that helps but it certainly contributes. Today will be a good day. Next appointment and travel, barring a medical or renovation emergency, will be on Tuesday. I will be getting things back in order before then.

09/04 …..187.5 ….. (trend weight 187.8) Yesterday I found out that my ex-sister-in-law that I’ve known for 46 years died of Covid in South Carolina. She was fully vaccinated and had just turned 64. She was immuno-compromised. Her daughter found her unresponsive in her home (she lived alone). She was alive, but was later determined to be brain dead. She was lucky enough to get a ventilator for a short time since they are scarce, but she was taken off all life support measures when it was determined she would never wake up and never go home. Please, even if vaccinated, mask up in those highly public places. More people love you and don’t want to lose you than you even realize. I spent all evening and night eating my emotions and moving into the 2nd phase of grief = anger. I am surprised the scale didn’t go up. Today I will try hard to be more mindful. The food binges changes nothing.

09/05 …..188.2 ….. (trend weight 187.8) I ate 400 more calories after closing out my MFP last night. A little hunger, a lot of grief and emotional eating which solves nothing. Today I am going to a family BBQ for Labor Day at my oldest DD’s house. There will be tons of food. One moment I’m too sad to eat (that’s how I handled rough things when I was young=no appetite), other moments I use food as a crutch. I know that most of you are on one side of this or the other during emotionally tough times and I 100% feel your support and understanding. I am navigating through as best as I can. Keeping my weight level right now would be a plus. Catch-up is just another battle I don’t need right now. Thanks for your kind comments and your understanding.

@deepwoodslady
Sorry to hear about your ex sister-n-law. My condolences go out to the family.

I myself am immunosuppressed. I have masked up in flu and cold season for the last few years so by the time masks were mandated, I was already in them. I was glad to receive my vaccinations but, I know that my level of protection is not as high as others. Hearing stories of fully vax'd people dying is awful and it should be enough for everyone to want to mask up- if not for themselves, atleast for the little kids and others that can't be vaccinated yet.

I had some ice cream last night, but apparently it’ll be ok and I’m back on track today. I can’t believe August is almost over. I do love the fall, though, even if it’s full of calorie bombs! It’s a lovely morning here, so I’m off for a walk.

It’s a gorgeous morning here — mid-70s, low humidity, clear sky. Lovely! It’s the last day of my summer vacation — back to a serious writing schedule as of tomorrow. Today I’m prepping what I want to work on, going for a long walk to get my creative head straight, and doing some garden cleanup that I’ve let slide in the high heat & humidity. Here are some roses for you from my garden. Wish you could smell them!

Happy September, all! Gorgeous morning here, high 60s, and I’m off for a walk.

Apparently I forgot to check in yesterday. Hmmm. Just filled in the numbers. Today’s uptick is from Wed’s splurge. All good! Lots going on here this weekend — news to follow!

Oopsie. Some comfort eating last night. Nothing horrible, just too much of it.

Yesterday was a big day here — meet Rory, our new family member! Australian Shepherd, 10 weeks old tomorrow. He’s doing really well.
