@Elbee1. Prayers for your family as well!
And for all of us!!!!!
I hope they are all well!
My DIL's twin brothers in their mid 20s had covid July 2020 and then got it again worse than the last time this year in August 2021. Neither are vaccinated. They are now planning to seek the vaccines which are also required for their jobs but they were avoiding it thinking they were immune. I'm not sure there is such a thing at this point.6 -

I was after an elusive 85 lbs loss 😂 but 83 will do me fine.
• in Maintenance for over 2 years.
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal rangeJust because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessarily. People are still dying out there………
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
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 161- Maintain weight < 150
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy
Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:- 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
- 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
- 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2021
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.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.

I am sitting this round out. I think the fluctuations are getting to me a little too much, even though I have been a daily weigher for years. The book I am reading right now “Prime Time Health” recommends monthly weigh ins, but not sure I will make it that long, lol. I am still logging food & trying to keep step count up.
I vote for Fitbit..I have had various ones for years. Started with the first clip on kind, then a One (also clip on), the Charge hr (used one from DD), now a Charge 2. I cracked the face of this a year ago & am waiting for it to die, then might get the new smaller one (can’t remember the name of it). But I don’t have an I-phone, so an Apple Watch is not a good choice for me. DD loves her Apple Watch, tho.6 -

The sun is out and I think the summer has finally arrived here. But the back lawn is already heavily sprinkled with fallen golden leaves, so maybe it's autumn. In any case it looks to be a nice weekend.

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.

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.

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 8hrs34m 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 8hrs27m 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 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 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

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.

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.

@_JeffreyD_ The problem I see with most of these devices is that you have to take them off to recharge them. My friend was forever forgetting to put the Fitbit back on in the morning, plus, how does it track sleep if it’s someplace else charging? The Garmin I have uses a button battery which needs to be replaced about once a year so it is somewhere on my body all the time. I wear it on my ankle most of the time because that is actually stepping which a wrist doesn’t do when pushing a shopping cart. LOL I will keep using Garmin Vivofit 3 as long as they make it. Just my 5 cents worth - inflation! LOL2

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

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!
9/01 - 186.6 (187) - 1267
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!
9/04 - 188.2 (187.5) - 1787 (Ave 1435)
Oopsie. Some comfort eating last night. Nothing horrible, just too much of it.

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.

@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.

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.

@Lilylady3k Thank you! I hope that you and your husband will be well, soon. I'm glad that the tests were negative.
4’9” petite-sm. boned female. 59 yrs
Ultimate goal: 98 lbs (subject to change)
SW (starting over--May 24, 2021): 160.3I started mfp on 2/20/11 at 160.2 lbs.
My lowest weight on mfp was 140 lbs in 11/2013 and 5/2014.
My highest weight ever: 168+ (and I wasn't even pregnant at that time... ) That was in 12/2016.
Just for the record used to be an athlete a long, long time ago. Used to teach Aerobics and Step Aerobics. Used to LOVE exercise.
Nowadays, I don't exercise at all. Why, oh why not? How can I go from loving exercise and doing tons of exercise to nothing at all?
Going from low blood pressure to being on medication for high blood pressure. What have I done to myself?!

8/31 160
9/1. 158.8 stress ate yesterday. Very stressful day, yesterday. will prolly show up tomorrow or over the next few days. Was surprised to see this weight. Almost didn’t weigh this morning due to the unhealthy stressful binging.
9/2 158.8 another stressful day... it's almost midnight... and things keep happening. Right now, my Dad is having an issue. Hope he doesn't have to go in the hospital, again... Parents today have kept me, my husband & one of my brothers hopping. Too much to write... oh well. They are being taken care of, right now... so .........
9/3 157.2 I'm thrilled, but this is probably not real since stressful eating took place late last night. Still trying to keep my Dad out of the hospital a little longer... He can't seem to go 60 days without being in the hospital. Those of you who know about Medicare will understand... Also, naturally I'm very concerned about his well being!!!
9/4 157.2 Ok. I was happy to see this, again. My Dad seems better. So far we really like the SNF that he is in and the doctors are communnicating with us, too. They seem to be on the same page with us, now... as far as Dad's history. Although they don't seem to know it, they are listening to us & that is a really good thing!! There's been sickness in my workplace & altho the sick one tested negative... he sounded horrible & I've been exposed to whatever it is that he has... so I am hesitant to visit my parents, now. I sure don't want to spread it to the SNF community and the ALF community.

May we all make progress this round!
SW: 278

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!

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 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)
09/06 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)

9/04-- 205.2- I can see this uptick in my fingers and toes as they are swollen(Thursdays yardwork). Also, I had bread yesterday and a baked potato, which is something I don't normally do, but I was hangry all day for some reason. Meal prep this past week included a new dish with pasta which was for my son. I had something different but it was so good that I did half servings. Looking at my progress this week, I see it did not work for me.
