When my current weight drops below 200lbs, I'll begin adding my old stats back. When I could easily access my previous progress, it only added to my weight gain anxiety.{Round 136 - 215 EW}Dec 31 2020(1/01)Round 154 - 216 EW}June 30 2021

{Day/Weight/Comment}
▪Day1▪︎ Mo•8/30- 202 (Su•8/29 - 2:30pm, 8pm,10:30pm;16.5hrs;) 53g carbs; Fiber•9g; 64ozs water. Ate a half slice of zucchini bread. Took vitamins late again. I really wanted to save the bread for today, because we are taking a diet break this week.
▪Day2▪︎ Tu•/31- 201.8 (Mo•8/30 -4pm 7:30pm, 9pm; 17.5hrs) 36g carbs; Fiber•8g; 92ozs water.
▪Day3▪︎ We•9/01- 201 (Tu•8/31 -3:30pm, 7pm, 9pm; 18.5hrs) 49g carbs; Fiber•7g; 70ozs water.
Day4▪︎Th•9/02- 202.2 (We•9/01 -3pm, 7pm, 10pm; 18hrs) 92g carbs; Fiber•g; 76ozs water. Peach cobbler. My day starts full of 2's!😊
▪Day5▪︎ Fr•9/03- 202 (Th•9/02-4pm, 7pm, 9:45pm; 18hrs) 14g carbs; Fiber•5g; 80ozs water.
▪Day6▪︎ Sa•9/04- 202.2 (Fr•9/03 -5:30pm, 8:30pm; 20.25hrs)67g carbs; Fiber•13g; 80ozs water. 2ozs Terra vegetable chips. Tasty.😄 Two more days left in my diet week off.
▪Day7▪︎ Su•9/05- 201.8 (Sa•9/04- 2pm 7pm; 17.5hrs) 67g carbs; Fiber•g; 64ozs water. Yesterday's carb bomb was no salt potato chips and a sugar seckel pear. Tomorrow (Monday) is my last diet day off.
▪Day8▪︎ Mo•9/06- 200.2 early weigh in (Su•9/05- 7pm, 9pm; 24hrs) 20g carbs; Fiber•4g; 80ozs water. 2TBS of cheesecake and 2ozs of strawberry slices. Not counting it against my last day.
■Day9▪︎ Tu•9/07- 201.6 (Mo•9/06 -1:30pm, 8:45pm; 16.5hrs) 121g carbs; Fiber•g; 88ozs water. Half of a baked potato was in my plan. The remainder of the terra chips and last minute bag of no salt potato chips was not. I felt really stuffed and miserable from that potato. It's all good. So long diet break!
■Day10▪︎ We•9/08- 200 (Tu•9/07- 2pm, 5pm, 7pm; 16.75hrs) 17g carbs; Fiber•2g; 92ozs water. Knocking on 190's door. Maybe I'll gain entry in Round 162. When I make the breakthrough, I'll add my old information back to my spoiler. I had to take it out because it was causing me anxiety to see where I had been.

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.

8/30: 206.6
Actually DNW, but this is the average between what my last reading and today’s reading. (This is how I do it.)
8/31: 209.2
I am back, and just in time! I just returned from a long weekend away where the fantasy of weight gain does not exist. Now I am back to reality, HA! This should peal off pretty fast.
9/1: 207.2
Hello September! Where does time go?
9/2: 206
9/3: 206
Yesterday, I topped-off my calories like I was topping-off my car’s gas tank. Managed not to spill any.
9/4: 205.2
9/5: 206.4
9/6: 205.8
All things considered, for a holiday weekend I feel good about this. Still need to get through todays’ mine field.
9/7: 204.2
Nice recovery from a week ago. Some chaos in my life yesterday and I am grateful that I did not turn to food to make me feel better.
I have been flirting with my maintenance range as of late. I need a committed relationship with it though. That means touching both ends of it, not just the top end.
I have a good sense of what needs to be done as this months-long Autumn food-fest begins.. Now I just need to do it.
9/8: 205.2
I was at a big calorie deficit yesterday, but still gained a pound. Probably a correction from yesterday’s low reading in combination with my legs healing from the spinning class last night. It was one of those classes that take you way beyond what you would do on your own. I hate it and I love it.
Here is an NSV; as I was renewing my gym membership last night, I asked if there is a “senior rate.” She asked,”are you older than 55?” HA! The victory is that she did not just assume but went ahead and asked. I will take any cheap NSV I can get!!
As a whole I am happy with the ten days. Met my general goal and my minor goal. The Major goal was going to be tough to achieve with a big travel weekend in there at the start and then Labor Day weekend (even though labor day weekend ended up great!)
New round tomorrow!

GW-140
8/31-Went to a fun wedding and saw our boys, lots of traveling and outdoor dining; still recovering from poor food choices. It is very smoky here and I’ve just been staying inside and sewing.
9/6-DNW-We went out for Chinese food last night with MIL ate too much and am feeling it this morning. I am making a basic schedule to follow so that I manage my time better. I am always so tired from riding the horse that I just eat lunch and quilt the rest of the day. Meanwhile, nothing else is getting done. I need to just go do one thing out in the yard, and move on...spending a little time in each area and getting a walk in. I am glad to be here with all of you!!!🌷
9/7-172-It is supposed to be hot here today, so I will walk in the morning then go to work for a while.
9/8-171-Walked 3 miles and will do it again this morning. It is supposed to be hot again and will get the horse to go on part of my walk with me to “warm him up” before I ride him, then back home to finish a quilt top.8 -

SW: 58.1 kg
Day/Weight/Comment
8/30: 58.6 kg (129 lbs)
8/31: 58.2 kg
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. Work has been so busy lately and I have an interview today. Been inside coz of it but ystd, I had morning errands and went for a 20 minute walk in the evening to get fresh air.
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!
9/5: 57.3 kg
9/6: 57.7 kg - no surprise in this little increase. Had some pizza yesterday, but still got 13k steps in! All good 😊 happy long weekend everyone!
9/7: DNW
9/8: 57.8 kg (127.2 lbs) - ok, past few days have been eating some pork buns mom made here at home hehehe. But happy with total of 0.8 kg / 1.8 lbs lost this week! 😊11 -
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!
9/5 220.6 Haha hormones are like we know you want that 219, but we’re going to make you wait!! Oh well. One foot in front of the other. I’ll get there! Historically, I hold a few days once a month for the hormone shift, then drop again. So hold I will. Got my strength workout in finally today, along with a good amount of walking. 64g net carbs, and feeling really good about my progress today!
9/6 220.6 One of these days here soon, I will wake up to a loss that lands me under 220 finally! Dang hormones! Had dinner out today, but managed to stick to my plan in spite of that. 74g net carbs, got my strength training in, but did not get many steps in. I’ve been feeling really tired and achy today, so I decided it was best to take it easy. Still, I’m calling it a good day!
9/7 220.4 Okay, okay! I’m so hoping this is the shift I’ve been waiting for. 🤞 Had another great day today. 86g net carbs and got my 30 minutes on the Peloton done.
9/8 221.6 Well that’s not the way the scale was supposed to go this morning! I’m thinking it was the carby pizza I had for dinner last night. Today I will go back to my regularly scheduled low-ish carb intake! But hey, at least I am down 0.6 in these past 10 days, considering TOM got thrown into the mix too.12 -

SW: 278
CW: 211.8
Goals:
To weight less than I start out this 10 day challenge!
202 mini goal for this month- I'll be at my top BMI range of Overweight!
199.8 Ye old Onerand goal-anytime this fall
169 Top BMI range for Normal, although "being normal" has never been a life goal for me-ha-it is now!
Day/Weight/
8/30 211.8 I swam, did a bit of water aerobics & met a new swimming buddy Peggy Obeg. So far I've eaten commensurate w/ my plan & exercise regimen.
8/31 213
9/1 214.8
9/2 213.2
9/3 210.8 Whoo whoo. Down! After several days eating chocolate bars one after another to give me energy (or so I told myself) to clean prior to company's arrival, I got back to my sensible eating plan. It took discipline, but I was able to keep my focus yesterday. I've discovered having the protein cooked and ready to heat up is key for me to stay on track. Hurray! Now to stick with it! I'm planning to swim and do Yoga today, which always increases my hunger-hopefully I can stick with it today!
9/4 210.4
9/5
9/6 210.6 less salt and no chocolate bars, my weight went back down. Onward ho!
9/7 209.6
9/8 207.6 "To weight less than I start out this 10 day challenge!" Whoo whoo, I met my 10 day challenge! I'm down weight wise (and up emotionally- I'll take that dopamine hit) and hopefully holding-less than what I weighed Jan-May, but I was here in June, July and August, up and down a 4-5 point range over several months. I suspect that my adipose point is at least 10-20 pounds less than the first 1/2 of the year. May we all stay mindful of our meals, and continue on this journey together. Thanks for the support!11 -

09/08 - 146.7 - I'll take it! Certainly better than last round EW and first few days of this round. No run this morning, woke up with a horrible headache though it's now subsided quite a bit. Working on my water and fasting until lunch. Stew tonight as they had a nice roast very cheap yesterday. Leftover garlic parmesan baked chicken for lunch.
Previous Day's Comments08/30 - Have not been good with water AT ALL. Food has been on the go and high salt. Was super sad to see 150s yesterday, but glad to be back down. Heavily pushing water today to get back down. Definitely feeling this weekend today. No running, I'm super achy from the rain/storms that rolled in and out this weekend.
08/31 - Better. Not perfect, but I didn't expect to drop all the way back down in one day. Don't feel quite as heavy and bloated as I did yesterday. Got about 75 oz water in. Today, aiming for 90oz. Street tacos for dinner tonight and have to stock up on some things (we did a kitchen clean, including tossing old condiments and such from the fridge). Will get me some veggies for lunches. Work gave us $150 for a year of Safety (no recordable incidents or work vehicle accidents) which will help (thankfully, I need it this month! My paychecks are not aligned well with bills due this month or next....I miss having my 1st/15th paychecks) Still no running, still achy and it was sprinkling rain. I'm feeling back on track now.
09/01 - Ahh, much better. Took way less time to drop this huge amount than normal, but I think my vitamin regime has been helping (a lot of people have said weight loss and a reduction in bloating have been surprising accidental side effects. Maybe I'm one of those lucky ones?) Usually would take until Thursday or Friday for that amount of "gain" to disappear. Happy it did! 90 oz water yesterday which also likely helped. Did go for a run this morning with my new ankle brace. Held up great! My right knee, however, did not fare as well. Likely fatigued due to unintended favoring of the left ankle, so just did a mile. Could've done more, but pup was getting tired and don't want to push and cause serious injury. Every step counts, though, and I did a mile of steps! Even planned dinners for the remainder of this week to reduce food waste and grocery spending (: Tried to make it somewhat balanced, though it's not perfect. New recipes, though, so lots of room for adjustments and improvements. Here's to a great week!
09/02 - Was a bit afraid dinner last night would cause a bump up. A coconut turmeric chicken curry. Quite quick and delicious (though a tad bit labor intensive according to BF who cooked while I set up for my fantasy football draft). 90 oz water down the hatch and aiming for that again today. Leftover curry for lunch and chicken ranch stuffed shells for dinner (note to self: take the lactose pills!)
09/03 - Slowly inching down. Surprising given dinner and only getting 60 oz water yesterday. Plus a generous glass of wine. Had leftover turmeric coconut chicken curry for lunch. A bit behind on water, but nothing I can't make up. Rearranged the living room to make room for a recliner (our friend is loaning to us for an indeterminate time).
09/04 - DNP
09/05 - DNP
09/06 - Been weighing, just not been able to post. Expected bump up due to a delicious dinner of ribs, mac&cheese, and salad (of various sorts eg: egg salad, potato salad. I got regular leafy green salad since I hate mayo and mustard with a passion and those "salads" taste like I'm eating mayo and mustard by the spoonful to me). BF is mowing the lawn so I guess I'll go dig up the little wild area beside our porch. It's become a mess but I was too afraid to touch it since we are renting. Too late now, it will look better once I clean it up. Not sure what else going on today but happy to be solidly out of the 150s despite the weekend craziness!
09/07 - No hugs needed. Rainy/stormy lazy day led to us going to get pizza and getting Chinese instead. Pure sodium bump. Drank just under 90 oz water. Went for a run this morning, it was nice and cool (I was cold when I started!) Body held up well, as did lungs. Dog did not. She was a spaz and kept tripping me (last time this happened, I rolled my ankle pretty badly and was down for 3 weeks!) so I stopped at 1 mile running and came home. 1 mile is better than none, though. Quiet day today. Need to figure out dinner ideas for today and tomorrow at the very least.

Nice run yesterday, and felt great to get an extra morning to sleep in due to having the day off for Labor Day & again today with no school for Rosh Hashanah. Back to the early mornings tomorrow, but my husband has said he will run with me on Wednesday and Friday mornings as soon as our daughter gets on the school bus - so that's something to look forward to!

@lafeeverte68 I love “the little things” One plank which gets longer or goes from forearm to straight. I also love wall/counter push-ups.
@Lilylady3k Why do you eat more at fish camp? Is it like camping in Colorado, fresh air makes you hungry? If you walk during prime fishing time there will be less to eat???? LOL 😂2 -

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.

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
9/4 117.0 Awake before 4AM toooo early! Meeting at 10. It’s going to be a looooong day!
9/5 116.5 AF, good day otherwise
9/6 118.0 AF Great Greek salad with gyro, melitzanosalata and pita. Gosh, the round is almost over! I will post 162 this morning.
9/7 116.5 not AF last night. Yesterday was a sad day as DGDog crossed the Rainbow Bridge. He had lots of cousins there waiting for him as well as his partner of many years.
9/8 117.0 AF, going to lunch with neighbor/s
IT’S ALL GOOD!

My mom lives next door and lets just say the unhealthy snacks, treats, & alcoholic drinks are more at hand. I plan meals and try but it is just the atmosphere more than anything. She likes to put out chips and dip before dinner which is something I try to stay away from ... so then I put out cheese to stay away from her stuff ... neither are needed before a meal!
As to the fishing and walking ... it is really really hot in South Texas think near South Padre Island near Mexico. No shade so no afternoon walks like I can do at home. Don't walk at night there ... small community and lets just say some have been hit by drunk drivers while walking on the side of the road ... and then there are the mosquitos. Until the weather cools off some it is too hot to go out in the boat fishing unless it is morning or evening. Looking forward to October & November when we can fish later in the day and walk in the mornings!
My habits down there are getting better.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/30--210.7 Had a great workout yesterday. Goal is to get water in today.
8/31--210.3 Low key day today. Plan is to take dog for a long walk and do some more work on my laundry room renovation, almost done.
9/1--210.3 Did not get much water in yesterday, so plan is to increase my water today. Going to take the dog out for a long day today.
9/2--210.3 At least it's consistent. Trainer day today. Did some grouting yesterday in the laundry room, it makes my DIY tile work look so much better. Still have more grouting to do, goal is to be totally finished by this long weekend. I have to say, working on the laundry room a little each evening definitely has reduced my evening snacking which just confirms that a lot of my evening snacking is due to boredom.
9/3--210.7 Not surprised about the uptick. Had a tough workout with trainer yesterday, we are starting to work on pull-ups, I told my trainer my goal is to do pull-ups by the end of the year. I also had very little water yesterday. Going into the office for an hour today. After working from home so long, it's always weird when I have to go back to the office
9/4--211.2 Normal 2nd day uptick after training day. I am going out for a hike today with hubby and puppy, not going to be too strenuous. Later is lunch and then work on the laundry room.
9/5--209.8 Trainer day today.
9/6--210.3 No real plans for today. I may go out for a bike ride later, but who knows.
9/7--209.6 Still working on my laundry room. There are a couple of little things left to do that aren't really exciting so my plan is to do one little thing a day. I have one last tile I have to put in place, but I have to make cuts to the tile which I am dreading, so plan is to do that one thing today. Took dog out for a long walk this morning and will probably go out for another walk later today.
9/8--208.7 Nice drop and I made my first mini goal which was to get out of the obese category and into the overweight category. Next mini goal is to get to 199, but for now I am very happy to reach this first goal.

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.
09/06 …..189.4 ….. (trend weight 188.0) Well…….this day certainly didn’t start well. My well went out again. My handyman came over and re-primed and I had to let my neighbor know (who has company for the holiday staying over) that I needed his water and hoses again. When it rains, it pours! Then…..My TDEE/total calorie intake was less than calories burned overall, but there it is! CICO is much more complicated due to cortisol, other hormones, sugar levels as a T2D, water retention etc. So true that the scale is not always the only measure. I enjoyed the family labor day BBQ yesterday. I’m glad I went. Today I am going to be very strict with my diet unless I let my emotions overtake me. I hope for extra low calorie and lots of water and walking/movement. Doctors appointment tomorrow and 2 CT scans on Thursday (Thursday involves travel). I can’t believe this round is almost over! I’ll push to end a little better for tomorrow’s final weigh-in.
09/07 …..187.2 ….. (trend weight 187.9) I really didn’t think I would hit goal (any loss at all) but I am down 1.2 lbs this round. I had to work hard for it yesterday. To shake it up I kept to a one-day-only calorie count of 1002 and kept an eye on the carbs. I got in some extra calorie burn too with an extra walk. Today I went to my PCP doctor appointment. Glucose still too high, but improving. I have to go back in a month. Her scale showed me down about 4 point whatever pounds since last month. This month I wore heavy sweats (cold and rainy here today), last month was lightweight shorts so there’s that….. Funeral was today for my SIL. How wonderful that I was sent a live video link so I could “be there” for it in South Carolina. I was happy to see that some of the pictures on the tribute wall of the funeral home website included me even though she stopped being my SIL in 2002 at the time of my divorce after a long 21 year marriage. She was a great person and she died too soon. Please mask up at the very least folks! You are loved!
09/08 …..187.6 ….. (trend weight 187.9) Made goal with a 0.8 lb drop. I’m surprised as this has not been a very good 10 days. I see that many of you have done very well reaching your varied personal goals. Congratulations! See you next round.
