9/17 - 145.9 - Actually quite surprised since we had pasta, scallops, and a homemade white wine cream sauce. I splurged and had 2 biscuits homemade parmesan herb biscuits. So delicious. Tracked it and was waaay above calories according to MFP but I'm not sure how correct that is. It has me almost 400 calories lower than the other 4 calculators for 1/2lb per week loss. Oh well. I'm also trying to overestimate calories because I wasn't 100% sure what was in the food and they say we underestimate calories if we don't know what's in it. I'm just going to track and hope I can see trends again, I have to relearn my calories with me being more active with running and such. Leftover fried rice for lunch (that's the leftovers Fam brought us) and unsure dinner right now. My walk this morning was cut short due to the pup being a mess. It was getting hot anyway and I was hoping to not have to shower, but I will at least have a rinse between the sun and the dog getting my temp up.

Previous Day's Comments9/09 - Wowza, did not see that coming. But yesterday was a light day on food, didn't munch on too awful much through the day. Bagel for breakfast, leftover garlic parmesan baked chicken for lunch, and beef stew for dinner. 90oz water. Have some leftover beef stew for lunch today. FamWife is having an event tonight so likely eating out to go support her. Will try to keep things in check there. Went for a run this morning. Fitbit Premium has their trial at 90 days so I signed up for it and did a little core/glute and stretching workout video from that. Excited to see how it goes and if it'll be worth keeping after the trial ends in December.
9/10 - Expected with eating out. Not many "healthy" options but I chose the healthiest one that I knew I'd eat (I HATE chicken salad and that's about the only other thing on there decently balanced). It was still a tad greasy, hence the pop up in weight. Plus the 2 beers I had. But managed 90oz water despite all that. Was supposed to go on a coffee date today with the girls but work blew up for all of us. Instead, I made myself a breakfast sandwich and a homemade hazelnut vanilla latte with extra shot of espresso. Cafe vibes from home! Fitbit premium is kicking my butt. Literally. Have a Glute&Core series (3x/week, 3 weeks long) I did day 1 yesterday. Seemed like I wouldn't get much out of it. But HOLY MOLY this morning was my booty sore. Did another this morning along with a 1 mile run, though. Unsure dinner but lunch will be the last of the leftover beef stew. Pretty excited about that. Need to dig in to what else the premium offers, like nutrition and mindfulness.

9/13 - Not bad for the weekend I had. Unfortunately had to be out of town Friday night so didn't have a scale and was eating out. Yesterday we went out to the land early and it was quick moving, not enough time to weigh in and be out the door in time. Despite being a fairly lazy day yesterday with finger foods and football, I did not get enough water in at all. I'll be focusing on that today for sure. Need to figure out food this week still, too. Shockingly a tad bit sore from the Fitbit workouts, will try for one of those later once I get some water in and feel a bit better (got that good ol' dehydration headache). Also need to take pup for a walk before the rain hits from that tropical storm in the gulf. **I won't be hit directly based on forecast, but I will get residual. Will be preparing for potential slight flooding in the area.
9/14 - I'm happy with this. Figured the weekend bloat wouldn't disappear in just one day. Went for a run already this morning. BF took pup for a walk so I could run at my own pace. Upped it to 1.5 miles and upped my pace by about 30sec/mile. Not much difference, but it's more progress than I expected. Drank 90oz water yesterday which I'm sure helped a ton. Already working on water for today. Not sure lunch for today yet, but dinner will be homemade street tacos. Cleaned out deep freezer and trying to eliminate daily grocery trips -- hoping to buy a house before our lease is up on this rental next year so paying off last of the debt and upping savings, any little extra money helps!
9/15 - Making progress here. Back to starting weight for the round. Went for a run this morning but it was interrupted by 3 things - my Fitbit died (I use that to track mileage and keep myself going if I haven't reached at least 1 mile), my headphones with my podcast that keeps me distracted from my lungs screaming, and then half mile in, TMI attacked. So I really did 2 runs, each 1/2 mile today with a break between to take care of my issues. Sigh. At least it's something. Better than nothing at all. My 10k is Sunday for Guiness World Record attempt so need to get mileage up, even if I walk some. Next 5k race is October 31st so I can build up to running in that time so long as I get the mileage down with alternating walk/run.
9/16 - It was 146.3 or .4 the first time I weighed with limited clothes but, unfortunately, my app didn't sync and I had to reweigh after I drank some water and had workout clothes on. Close enough. Putting the second weight since it'll align better with my app. Tracked calories yesterday and tried to overestimate but likely didn't do a good enough job. Definitely know sodium got me. Drank about 105oz water, though. Not sure dinner but Fam brought leftovers to us so I'll munch on that for lunch today, and if any left, tomorrow. BF been walking to help lose weight so I guess that should be motivation to kick myself in gear (I know he can likely lose more at a much faster rate and so I need to be razor sharp in my goals to get the scale moving again with this plateau. I hit a months long plateau at 55lbs, I'm hitting one now it seems. I'll break through eventually and be on my merry little way so long as I don't give up). Off for a run here in a bit. Hoping for 2 miles today.

Goal weight for this round: Getting to 115 or 116 would be fantastic!
Previous days9/9 117.6 Breakfast was Trader Joe’s Paneer Chicken Masala with a cut up apple and peach. Not sure why but it sounded good for breakfast and was a decent amount of protein too. We have to pick my husbands car up tonight which makes planning dinner a little more complicated, so I’m not sure what dinner will be tonight. I kind of just want roasted veggies with some sort of protein.9/17 117.8 Salty dinner is still sticking around. Was able to go for a 1 mile walk/jog without any pain today, so that was encouraging. I’ve already downed a lot of herbal tea this morning. I brewed a large mason jar worth of tea this morning because I didn’t drink as much as I wanted to yesterday. So, this made it easier to just refill at my desk instead of having to go downstairs to get another cup. Happy Friday all!
9/10 117.6 Went for a 3 mile run this morning. Ended up eating scallion pancakes and some crab Rangoon for dinner last night because my husband wanted Chinese. I originally wasn’t going to get it but then I decided to for whatever reason. I’m back on track today though and plan on using up the week’s csa veggies and produce over the course of the weekend.
9/11 Did not weigh today. Woke up this morning and ended up going for a 7 mile walk/hike with my husband at a nearby conservation area. It was really nice to start the day off that way. Now I have the afternoon/over night to my self in Boston while I dog sit my cousin’s two English bull dogs. I love them to pieces and are one of my favorite types of dogs because they’re like the dog version of a cat in terms of energy 😊. Here’s a picture of them living their best life.
9/12 Did not weigh. Back home after watching the puppies. Dishes and laundry done, now I just have to put the laundry away. Also did a hills based spin bike session for about 20 minutes, I’m a bit tired today because I stayed up a lot later than normal last night and then the puppies gruffed at the bedroom door this morning at 4:30 to come in and cuddle. I let them sleep on the couch because they both snore and didn’t feel like listening to all night. I compromised with half the night lol. They are such cuddle bugs too, so it was nice even if they did wake me up.
I tried crumpets for the first time this weekend and thought of my UK friends here. I thought they were very tasty! I loved the texture of them, different but similar to something I’ve had before but can’t put my finger on what it was. I only put Kerry Gold butter on them for the most part and today I did little bit of butter and raspberry jam.
9/13 117.6 Only went for a short walk today for exercise because I did something to one of my hip muscles, so I am resting it for a couple of days. Food was pretty good today and I think I stayed within a deficit. I tracked but I didn’t weigh the veggies I ate with dinner (roasted beets, kohlrabi, and carrots plus 4 oz of London broil steak). Breakfast was the last crumpet with cheese and two eggs, kashi peanut butter cereal and for a morning snack I had 2 mini dark chocolate peanut butter cups and an apple in the afternoon.
9/14 117.2 It feels good to see a little bit of a drop. Still resting my hip muscle today, so nixing the cardio for one more day and I’ll assess tomorrow. I may try to go for a short lunch walk and maybe do a light upper body work out. Heading to the grocery store today to get some Greek yogurt because we got so much fruit this week with our csa that I’m going to get bored if I only eat plain fruit. We got 2 cantaloupes, a canary melon, 5 apples, 8 peaches, 3 nectarines and 2 pears. I might make an apple crisp this weekend to use up some apples because I know we’ll be getting a lot more apples in the future. Happy Tuesday!
9/15 118.2 Super salty dinner Tuesday night. Didn’t post Wednesday.
9/16 117.8 Got rid of some of the water retention but not all the way there yet. Will be drinking more dandelion tea and lots of water. Not sure what I have planned for dinner tonight. Maybe roasted chicken thighs with veggies on the side. Still nursing my hip thing for one more day and then I’m going to try a morning run tomorrow. I managed to do a little bit of an upper body work out yesterday which felt good. I was able to do some chin ups, so that was a win because I was afraid I lost them when I didn’t do them while we were living in Foxborough for ~ a year. So, I’ll take that as a non scale victory along with stopping to get my husband food last night and not getting an ice cream for myself. Instead, when I got home, I weighed out some maple kettle corn and had one of my 140 calorie pumpkin muffins I made a week ago for a 300 calorie treat versus over 600 or more from what the ice cream would have been.

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.
**Comments apply to previous day**
SW RND 162 117.0
9/9 117.0 AF My 1700th day on MFP! Even if we are cruising and consequently no internet, I make a daily entry on my phone - or on paper, and count those days.
9/10 117.0 AF My scale has received a telepathic message from all of yours. It said 111.5 3 times! I knew that wasn’t right! Moved it and tried again.
9/11 118.0 The lunch date with my DH was worth every ounce! 1/2# burger with 3 cheeses. I even ate the bun and some onion rings. Not AF as we visited neighbors and he had a snifter of Jack Daniels poured for me when we arrived. Not worried. 😋
9/12 117.5 AF We had a wonderful evening at an outdoor production of “Smokey Joe’s Cafe” at Super Summer Theater with neighbors last night. 8:20am
9/13 118.0 Adult beverage and a handful of corn chips, hung out with neighbors on the driveway. Foot/shin cramps during the night
9/14 118.0 No foot cramps last night. Feel as if I slept well. Oskar and I are closed in the sewing room. He’s not happy. We are having a security door installed this morning. We may also get a new peephole that is low enough for me to look through without a step up. The problem with being short!
9/15 118.0 Went to Buffet@Asia yesterday-way too many carbs and not enough protein led me to eating a hamburger patty at 6:30 followed by Quest protein chips. I’m going to try to fast today but I’m not sure I have my head around it. It really IS a head game!
9/16 118.0 AF Sliders last night at community bingo. Egg salad or chicken salad on King’s Hawaiian rolls. Sweet bread does NOT belong with either of those. Maybe 1T of filling in each. I should have taken my own protein.
9/17 117.5 AF Very low carb yesterday7 -

🎉DAY 1:?9/14 72.9 160.38 did Really well today - pre-logged everything before I ate & walked tons.
Should be lower tomorrow or next day.
🎉Day 2: 9/15 72.3 159.06 ⬇️🌸 VERY HAPPY
My system worked yesterday!! I wrote down everything I was going to eat on a piece of paper on kitchen counter, and recorded fiber protein sodium & calories for each. Doing so BEFORE I ate anything helped me realize what was too salty or would throw my protein or calories too high. Also entered it in my phone app. I didn’t feel so great as I dipped water, walked tons, and kept busy Decluttering…body WAS NOT happy with the overeating from 9/14 & the change was particularly apparent this morning.I feel much better. On my walk, I realized my body feels MUCH better with sodium under 1500mg. So now that’s a “want to” not a “have to”!
9/16 YAY 🦩 159.06 🌸 ➡️yay! Did great yesterday!
9/17 😍🌸🎉 158.6 🌸⬇️⬇️ YAY my track & assess prior to eating is working!! Vastly relieved. I should add it’s gotten cooler here, which is often when the summer wt melts off…but heat is coming again next week. Fingers crossed I can keep doing what I’m doing

Day/Weight/Comment
09/08 …..187.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
09/09 …..188.8 ….. (trend weight 187.9) A gain overnight. It tasted like cookies but it was really the past week of well problems over & over and no water, travel, medical issues related to prior cancer that is still unresolved and the death in my extended family. Emotional eating and stress is real! Today I travel again for two CT scans. One of the liver, one of the lung. This is not a routine set of tests. There are issues that are being checked and/or rechecked. Things have been found and we need to get to the bottom of it. Travel for me means a lot of inactivity and restaurant dinner. I may skip posting my weight tomorrow (which I have never done) because I just can’t take anymore stress or pressure. I’ll post and read, but no weight! Well company coming back tomorrow. Maybe some resolution but I’m skeptical because they have already been here a couple of weeks ago. I am going to try to pull myself together tomorrow and start weighing myself again on Saturday. I just can’t take anymore bad news! In regards to those cookies, I promise it was not 1.2 pounds worth. Scale is all over the place!
09/10 …..DNW ….. (trend weight DNW) CT scans were easy yesterday. 3 large cups of contrast dye an hour prior. No results yet, of course. I had to stop my diabetes medication Wednesday night and I can’t resume taking until Sunday morning. I guess that forces me to really watch what I am eating although it didn’t stop me yesterday during travel. Today really needs to be a good day.
09/11 …..189.2 ….. (trend weight 188.3) Okay, I guess I expected as much after travel. Good news on the CT scan results…..liver lesions are benign cycts. Lung nodule has grown again both in length and width but they still feel it is not a fast enough growth from CT scan to CT scan rechecks to merit a biopsy or to suspect cancer. They will continue (as they have done since 2019) to monitor it every 6 months with follow-up CT scans. Yay! Now, to get through the real worry next week on the 16th. What does the breast surgeon recommend for my unusual skin changes on the breast which could be a pre-cursor to a very aggressive breast cancer metasteses? We will know soon…… I am planning a lazy day today as I am mentally exhausted. However, if I push myself hard enough I may just fit in a few short walks and some dancing. BTW, well company never showed up yesterday. WTH?
09/12 …..188.4 ….. (trend weight 188.3) I worked hard yesterday afterall and skipped that rest day. I cleaned window frames outside and was up & down stairs all day. I also rode the exercise bike twice, did a little walking, and danced for about 20 minutes. One song was “Have you ever seen the rain?” Yes, I was thinking of you @quiltingjaine ! Good meals yesterday but a bad snack last night. I’ve got to improve my habits!
09/13 …..189.0 ….. (trend weight 188.4)Drats already! After burning a gajillion calories the past 2 days, I ended up with my body screaming for calories and the hunger was intense at 1:00 AM. After closing out of MFP I ended up in the kitchen cooking and eating. 3.5 hours of sleep and then on the scale weighing. Not such a good plan! Today I will be burning many calories again and back on my projects. I will have to plan better. During the hunger I tried 1 oz of walnuts, then a full size (140 cal) yogurt, then a piece of 90% cacao dark chocolate. That just added to my extra calories when I finally cooked a meal. Not happy here today!
09/14 …..187.6 ….. (trend weight 188.3) Very strange…..last night I needed no snacks and wiped them off my pre-log. The night before I was up cooking at 1:00 AM. I had the same dinner both nights and I did the same phenomenal calorie burn working on my window project. I don’t always get it, but I’ll take that it’s in the right direction today with a smile.
09/15 …..185.8 ….. (trend weight 188.0) Thank you TMI. Also did more window cleaning after the rain stopped for some very nice extra calorie burn. Tomorrow I travel to the cancer center. Hopefully it will be tolerable news. My scale reading will be up Friday but I hope to have it level back off by Sunday. I’ve just got to keep my nose clean after the trip! It doesn’t happen unless I make it happen!
09/16 …..185.2 ….. (trend weight 187.8) A good day yesterday. More windows cleaned and I’m almost done with that calorie burning project. Travel today.
09/17 …..186.2 ….. (trend weight 187.6) Medical appointment yesterday revealed I will need a minor surgery to do a WE (wide excising) of the tissue to remove the rest of the skin nodule. This will be sent to pathology. Surgery will be in a couple of weeks and is outpatient. The stitches will be inside the incision. I am relieved as my mind wandered to the possibility of total mastectomy to stop all these scares over the years. I’m not ready for all that, especially when it is 8 hours round trip and bad roads and severe winter weather is coming soon. Mastectomy and reconstruction is a LOT of appointments! This is not the time of year for THAT! My friend chose the restaurant on the way home. Golden Corral. Yes, I thought of you again, @quiltingjaine . Even being careful and taking HALF of what I wanted, I bet I still ate a lot more than you usually do when you go! Is it safe to say that 186 pounds gets hungrier than 116 – 117 pounds? LOL. No excuses here! I did okay and only one pound gain is the least I think I’ve ever gained when traveling so I’m happy with it. I am so glad I’m following my trend weight now too. It’s still going down. One day does not a girl make.

Sigh. A difficult round for me, with long days and late nights packing and prepping a move, and also a few days of traveling and restaurants and family get-togethers. Completely out of my routine, and much of the time unable to do more than a very approximate check of food portions/weight/calories.
Round 162 saw me go from 74.5 kg (164.2 lbs) to 75.1 kg (165.6 lbs) gaining 0.6 kg (1.4 lbs).
Ah well, under the circumstances, limiting the gain is already a win.

Last round I managed to break through a stall in weight loss, I think the walking is really paying off and I feel much more energetic. I will try to keep it up this week but I have some physically hard days coming up with fitting my new kitchen and building a faux brick wall so may be quite exhausted, we'll see...
9/09 - 160.2 STEPS? SLEEP 7hrs23m
Well that's strange, 2lbs up in one day! I've had a very stressful couple of days with teenager drama (cortisol) plus had bread with dinner (carbs) which usually causes water weight for me. Also didn't get much walking done yesterday so that's most likely why. Not sure if I should change my RGW or stick with it and hope for the best.
9/10 - 158.2 STEPS 9,959 SLEEP?
I started off my day with a 3 mile walk first thing and it really gave me a boost of energy, spent the rest of the day buzzing and got loads of stuff done. In the evening we went out to a new bar in town. I ended up at about 2000 cals yesterday so I'm gonna have to be strict this weekend. OH has to go to India today for a family emergency so I'm gonna be on my own for 2 weeks. I can really focus on myself and building some healthy habits.
9/11 - 159.4 STEPS 6,640 SLEEP 6hrs32m
Big ol' carb binge yesterday for no particular reason. Got out for a short walk first thing then drove OH to the airport, got back home and spent the rest of the day snacking. Was I worried? Bored? Self sabotaging? I wasn't hungry and didn't even enjoy it... no idea. Feeling really bloated today so I'm gonna eat lots of salad and try to get a decent walk in. OH missed his connecting flight and is stuck in Delhi for 13hrs, poor thing!
9/12 - 158.0 STEPS? SLEEP?
I fought off carb cravings all day yesterday and came in a little over my cals as I didn't record any exercise but I drank loads of water to flush things through. Probably had too much salt, didn't seem to cause an issue for me, still had a big water weight drop. Getting really behind on my steps, better get a big walk in today
9/13 - 157.2 STEPS 12,163 SLEEP 7hr8m
Nice to see that number 7 again for the first time in 10 days. I'm trying to get more fibre in my diet as I've been feeling bloated, not easy on a lowish carb low cal diet, I have just ordered some psyllium husk tablets, hope they help. I went for a 5 mile evening walk yesterday which ended in tragedy as I came across a beautiful little cat that had just been hit by a car, I held it as it died, poor thing 💔
9/14 - 156.6 STEPS 18,213 SLEEP 7hr28m
Finally feel like I'm starting to get somewhere with my weight loss after a slow period, yay! I've been drinking a lot more water these last few days, which might be key. I left going for my walk until a bit too late yesterday, setting off at 6.30pm, then I got carried away and did a 7 mile walk on a new route, which meant I found myself stumbling through fields and woods in the dark miles from home trying not to freak out, a bit stupid of me really, won't be doing that again! My sleep is slipping so I need to get to bed earlier. Wet and gloomy day here so if I want to get my steps in I may have to brave the gym, yuck!
9/15 - 156.6 STEPS 7,914 SLEEP 6hr6m
Not much to report for yesterday, managed to get a decent walk in but then spent the rest of the day being lazy. I have a big project to start so I'm procrastinating. Got lots of fluids in which is maybe why my sleep suffered as I got up a few times and woke at 5am. Really glad to still be at this weight today, 3 more days to lose 0.1lb to get to goal!
9/16 - 156.6 STEPS 11,018 SLEEP 6hr52m
Tried out a new 5 mile walking route yesterday morning, all on hard surfaces which is better for the wetter seasons we have ahead and also better for trying to improve my speed and stamina. Found that by swinging my arms more I'm able to propel myself forward faster and don't have to slow much for hills. Battling boredom eating because I've been home alone for the last week and will be for another week, glad I've got my cats for company! Sleep still not great but I don't feel tired so not too worried. Same weight for the last 3 days, what will tomorrow bring?
9/17 - 155.2 STEPS 11,062 SLEEP 7hr29
Did the same 5 mile route as yesterday and managed to shave 30 seconds off my minutes per mile average. The good thing about being active in the morning is you can actually feel your metabolism has been ramped up for the rest of the day. Chuffed to bits to see 1.4lb drop over night after 3 days at the same weight! Nice to know that my fat cells have released water and are shrinking.
9/18 - 154.6 STEPS 8,061 SLEEP 4hr41m
This was a successful round for me in the end, after a slow start I had a couple of big drops which is really motivating. I'm feeling much healthier and more energetic and think I'm beginning to hone in on the things that work best for me so this round has been very helpful.
Just about managed to hit my steps target but it really shows that I can't afford to slack off a day unless I'm willing to work extra hard the next day. Terrible sleep last night as I was struggling with a trapped nerve in my back. My calories are creeping up so I need to reign it in for next round. Having the house to myself all week has made it easy to focus on my mission, same deal next week so I'd better not waste it!

Previous days9/9 117.6 Breakfast was Trader Joe’s Paneer Chicken Masala with a cut up apple and peach. Not sure why but it sounded good for breakfast and was a decent amount of protein too. We have to pick my husbands car up tonight which makes planning dinner a little more complicated, so I’m not sure what dinner will be tonight. I kind of just want roasted veggies with some sort of protein.9/18 115.4 I was shocked to see this number this morning. I even stepped on and off my scale a few times and took the battery out and it still read 115.4. I guess the dandelion tea did something! I was not expecting this water whoosh at all but I’ll happily take it. I have a date to meet a friend at the farmer’s market this morning and we’re going to walk around the lake that it’s near. So, we’ll see how my hip muscle does during the 3ish mile walk. After the farmer’s market trip I plan on making some whole grain roasted apple muffins to have for the week as a snack/dessert and to use up some of the apples we got last Monday in our CSA.
9/10 117.6 Went for a 3 mile run this morning. Ended up eating scallion pancakes and some crab Rangoon for dinner last night because my husband wanted Chinese. I originally wasn’t going to get it but then I decided to for whatever reason. I’m back on track today though and plan on using up the week’s csa veggies and produce over the course of the weekend.
9/11 Did not weigh today. Woke up this morning and ended up going for a 7 mile walk/hike with my husband at a nearby conservation area. It was really nice to start the day off that way. Now I have the afternoon/over night to my self in Boston while I dog sit my cousin’s two English bull dogs. I love them to pieces and are one of my favorite types of dogs because they’re like the dog version of a cat in terms of energy 😊. Here’s a picture of them living their best life.
9/12 Did not weigh. Back home after watching the puppies. Dishes and laundry done, now I just have to put the laundry away. Also did a hills based spin bike session for about 20 minutes, I’m a bit tired today because I stayed up a lot later than normal last night and then the puppies gruffed at the bedroom door this morning at 4:30 to come in and cuddle. I let them sleep on the couch because they both snore and didn’t feel like listening to all night. I compromised with half the night lol. They are such cuddle bugs too, so it was nice even if they did wake me up.
I tried crumpets for the first time this weekend and thought of my UK friends here. I thought they were very tasty! I loved the texture of them, different but similar to something I’ve had before but can’t put my finger on what it was. I only put Kerry Gold butter on them for the most part and today I did little bit of butter and raspberry jam.
9/13 117.6 Only went for a short walk today for exercise because I did something to one of my hip muscles, so I am resting it for a couple of days. Food was pretty good today and I think I stayed within a deficit. I tracked but I didn’t weigh the veggies I ate with dinner (roasted beets, kohlrabi, and carrots plus 4 oz of London broil steak). Breakfast was the last crumpet with cheese and two eggs, kashi peanut butter cereal and for a morning snack I had 2 mini dark chocolate peanut butter cups and an apple in the afternoon.
9/14 117.2 It feels good to see a little bit of a drop. Still resting my hip muscle today, so nixing the cardio for one more day and I’ll assess tomorrow. I may try to go for a short lunch walk and maybe do a light upper body work out. Heading to the grocery store today to get some Greek yogurt because we got so much fruit this week with our csa that I’m going to get bored if I only eat plain fruit. We got 2 cantaloupes, a canary melon, 5 apples, 8 peaches, 3 nectarines and 2 pears. I might make an apple crisp this weekend to use up some apples because I know we’ll be getting a lot more apples in the future. Happy Tuesday!
9/15 118.2 Super salty dinner Tuesday night. Didn’t post Wednesday.
9/16 117.8 Got rid of some of the water retention but not all the way there yet. Will be drinking more dandelion tea and lots of water. Not sure what I have planned for dinner tonight. Maybe roasted chicken thighs with veggies on the side. Still nursing my hip thing for one more day and then I’m going to try a morning run tomorrow. I managed to do a little bit of an upper body work out yesterday which felt good. I was able to do some chin ups, so that was a win because I was afraid I lost them when I didn’t do them while we were living in Foxborough for ~ a year. So, I’ll take that as a non scale victory along with stopping to get my husband food last night and not getting an ice cream for myself. Instead, when I got home, I weighed out some maple kettle corn and had one of my 140 calorie pumpkin muffins I made a week ago for a 300 calorie treat versus over 600 or more from what the ice cream would have been.
9/17 117.8 Salty dinner is still sticking around. Was able to go for a 1 mile walk/jog without any pain today, so that was encouraging. I’ve already downed a lot of herbal tea this morning. I brewed a large mason jar worth of tea this morning because I didn’t drink as much as I wanted to yesterday. So, this made it easier to just refill at my desk instead of having to go downstairs to get another cup. Happy Friday all!

9/17 - 145.9 - Actually quite surprised since we had pasta, scallops, and a homemade white wine cream sauce. I splurged and had 2 biscuits homemade parmesan herb biscuits. So delicious. Tracked it and was waaay above calories according to MFP but I'm not sure how correct that is. It has me almost 400 calories lower than the other 4 calculators for 1/2lb per week loss. Oh well. I'm also trying to overestimate calories because I wasn't 100% sure what was in the food and they say we underestimate calories if we don't know what's in it. I'm just going to track and hope I can see trends again, I have to relearn my calories with me being more active with running and such. Leftover fried rice for lunch (that's the leftovers Fam brought us) and unsure dinner right now. My walk this morning was cut short due to the pup being a mess. It was getting hot anyway and I was hoping to not have to shower, but I will at least have a rinse between the sun and the dog getting my temp up.
9/18
Previous Day's Comments9/09 - Wowza, did not see that coming. But yesterday was a light day on food, didn't munch on too awful much through the day. Bagel for breakfast, leftover garlic parmesan baked chicken for lunch, and beef stew for dinner. 90oz water. Have some leftover beef stew for lunch today. FamWife is having an event tonight so likely eating out to go support her. Will try to keep things in check there. Went for a run this morning. Fitbit Premium has their trial at 90 days so I signed up for it and did a little core/glute and stretching workout video from that. Excited to see how it goes and if it'll be worth keeping after the trial ends in December.
9/10 - Expected with eating out. Not many "healthy" options but I chose the healthiest one that I knew I'd eat (I HATE chicken salad and that's about the only other thing on there decently balanced). It was still a tad greasy, hence the pop up in weight. Plus the 2 beers I had. But managed 90oz water despite all that. Was supposed to go on a coffee date today with the girls but work blew up for all of us. Instead, I made myself a breakfast sandwich and a homemade hazelnut vanilla latte with extra shot of espresso. Cafe vibes from home! Fitbit premium is kicking my butt. Literally. Have a Glute&Core series (3x/week, 3 weeks long) I did day 1 yesterday. Seemed like I wouldn't get much out of it. But HOLY MOLY this morning was my booty sore. Did another this morning along with a 1 mile run, though. Unsure dinner but lunch will be the last of the leftover beef stew. Pretty excited about that. Need to dig in to what else the premium offers, like nutrition and mindfulness.
9/11 - DNP
9/12 - DNP
9/13 - Not bad for the weekend I had. Unfortunately had to be out of town Friday night so didn't have a scale and was eating out. Yesterday we went out to the land early and it was quick moving, not enough time to weigh in and be out the door in time. Despite being a fairly lazy day yesterday with finger foods and football, I did not get enough water in at all. I'll be focusing on that today for sure. Need to figure out food this week still, too. Shockingly a tad bit sore from the Fitbit workouts, will try for one of those later once I get some water in and feel a bit better (got that good ol' dehydration headache). Also need to take pup for a walk before the rain hits from that tropical storm in the gulf. **I won't be hit directly based on forecast, but I will get residual. Will be preparing for potential slight flooding in the area.
9/14 - I'm happy with this. Figured the weekend bloat wouldn't disappear in just one day. Went for a run already this morning. BF took pup for a walk so I could run at my own pace. Upped it to 1.5 miles and upped my pace by about 30sec/mile. Not much difference, but it's more progress than I expected. Drank 90oz water yesterday which I'm sure helped a ton. Already working on water for today. Not sure lunch for today yet, but dinner will be homemade street tacos. Cleaned out deep freezer and trying to eliminate daily grocery trips -- hoping to buy a house before our lease is up on this rental next year so paying off last of the debt and upping savings, any little extra money helps!
9/15 - Making progress here. Back to starting weight for the round. Went for a run this morning but it was interrupted by 3 things - my Fitbit died (I use that to track mileage and keep myself going if I haven't reached at least 1 mile), my headphones with my podcast that keeps me distracted from my lungs screaming, and then half mile in, TMI attacked. So I really did 2 runs, each 1/2 mile today with a break between to take care of my issues. Sigh. At least it's something. Better than nothing at all. My 10k is Sunday for Guiness World Record attempt so need to get mileage up, even if I walk some. Next 5k race is October 31st so I can build up to running in that time so long as I get the mileage down with alternating walk/run.
9/16 - It was 146.3 or .4 the first time I weighed with limited clothes but, unfortunately, my app didn't sync and I had to reweigh after I drank some water and had workout clothes on. Close enough. Putting the second weight since it'll align better with my app. Tracked calories yesterday and tried to overestimate but likely didn't do a good enough job. Definitely know sodium got me. Drank about 105oz water, though. Not sure dinner but Fam brought leftovers to us so I'll munch on that for lunch today, and if any left, tomorrow. BF been walking to help lose weight so I guess that should be motivation to kick myself in gear (I know he can likely lose more at a much faster rate and so I need to be razor sharp in my goals to get the scale moving again with this plateau. I hit a months long plateau at 55lbs, I'm hitting one now it seems. I'll break through eventually and be on my merry little way so long as I don't give up). Off for a run here in a bit. Hoping for 2 miles today.
9/17
With running, I always find it tough to figure out how many calories I need. Some days I feel more hungry and other days I feel less hungry when I run. I wish there could be a watch that was 100% accurate and told us what we really need to eat for calories/what we burned...although, I don't know how realistic that wish is lol. I know my Garmin watch is pretty decent during the activity for what I burn but then I get this crazy post-activity calorie burn at times and it makes me wonder how accurate it is. Good luck with your running too! If you like cookbooks, the Run Fast Cook Fast Eat Slow ones are awesome! They have a breakfast-based one coming out in October too, which I'm excited for!3 -

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
9/9 202.3 Walked 4 miles, Strength Class 1 hr, 1357 cal, 91 net carbs, AF. Didn’t accomplish much today outside of menu planning, groceries, cooking, and exercising … oh and reading “This Tender Land” by William Kent Krueger and listening to “The House in the Cerulean Sea” by TJ Klune. Headed to the fishing camp today for a long food & drink weekend where exercise is challenging. Before I leave planning to attend strong & fit strength class this morning.
9/10 203.7 @ fishing camp 🎣 Strength Class 1 hr, no walking, 5 hrs in the car, 1599 cal, 139 net carbs, not enough water. 1.5 bottles of Michelob Ultra at the Community BBQ event hosted by one of the resort camps and held at Dirty Reds outside bar … get to know your neighbors (free brisket & beer)
9/11 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.4 miles, fishing … caught 21.5” & 23” Redfish, 1405 cal, 68 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
9/12 204.2 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3 miles, fished, 1872 cal, 107 net carbs, AF.
9/13 204.7 Walked 3 miles, long 5 hr car drive, 1657 cal, 157 net carbs, AF. Expected rain this week with Tropical Storm Nicholas.
9/14 203.2 Walked 1.3 miles, rain, Strength Class 1 hr via Zoom since Tropical Storm/ Hurricane Nicholas expected, 1774 cal, 135 net carbs, AF.
9/15 203.1 Walked 3.2 miles, 1674 cal, 182 net carbs, 1 glass wine & pizza. Electricity was off all day but we are fine!
9/16 204.1 Walked 4.5 + 1 miles, 1845 cal, 117, 2 margaritas on the rocks. Book club met at a Mexican restaurant. My downfall … I’ve not been out to eat Mexican food and drink margaritas in a very long time. Put that with a group of ladies that enjoy “discussions” and it was a fun evening but filling!
9/17 204.5 Walked 2.4 + 1.2 miles, Strength Class 1 hr, 2002 cal, 178 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine. Sandwich for lunch and then Italian including 2 pieces of garlic bread for dinner so no wonder # on scale. Got my flu shot today! I’m on a roll this year toward vaccines … first the Pfizer covid19 vaccine, then 1st Shingrix shingles vaccine and now the Fluzone Quad flu vaccine. Prepping DH & I for our vacation in October as well as our 1st grandchild which we are expecting in late December.
9/18 203.2 Walked 2.9 miles, 1901 cal, 85 net carbs, AF. Dog sitting for my daughter and it is really hard to walk 3 large dogs together!6 -

Pre-round SW on 8 Sept 21: 232.6 lbs
Round goals: work out at least 20 mins every day, drink 2 litres water daily, fast 16 hours a day

Day/Weight/Comment:
9/9 – 234 lbs – ate more than I planned to yesterday but stuck to my exercise and water goals. Feeling re-focused!
9/10 – 232.8 lbs – although I didn’t stick to the plan yesterday, I still came in under calorie goal so I'm happy with that. I also met my exercise, water, and fasting goals.
9/11 – 233.6 lbs - No surprise here. Friday is always a weak spot for me and last night was no different, big carb binge! But I didn’t drink any alcohol and that was a win. Also met my water and exercise goals. Gotta try to do better for the rest of the weekend!
9/12 – 232 lbs – Went to bed around 6pm without dinner as I wasn’t feeling well so this is probably not a real loss but happy to see this number all the same. Didn’t work out either and only drank around 1 litre of water.
9/13 – 231.8 lbs – Yesterday could have been better but happy with this number. Didn’t exercise or meet my water goals but it’s the first time in a long time that I have gone the whole weekend without alcohol which is great. Can’t believe we’re already half way through this challenge!
9/14 – 230.4 lbs – Did well yesterday with food, water and exercise. Want to work on not using my exercise calories for the rest of the challenge.
9/15 – 229.8 lbs - Yay, I can scratch off the 230’s!! So happy!! Did well yesterday with food, water and exercise and didn’t give in to my intense craving for brownies haha
9/16 – 229.9 lbs – I had a takeaway last night. Back to healthy eating for the rest of the week!
9/17 – 228.8 lbs – Met my round goal! Ate really healthy yesterday and did a good workout.
9/18 – 228.9 lbs – Yesterday was ok overall, looking forward to the next round!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Round 162 (94th for me) . I really need this to help keep me on track, particularly over the next 2 weeks!
@QuiltingJaine- thank you yet again for setting up the new round.
Challenge for this round is to stay on track – Friday we are off for our main 2 weeks holiday, no flying abroad this year (due to Covid), we shall be taking our touring caravan, so for the major part I will be responsible for both choosing & providing food, so hope to come back at least the same as today, a loss will be a bonus – any loss will be a win! But still aware we shall be on holiday so will be indulging in an occasional treat – note to self “an occasional treat” !! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.
Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” 2 months ago, but remember there is still a pandemic: Covid is still around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, always consider others.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/9 134.8 – 10 miles walked yesterday. I failed the iron test when I went to give blood; one more point down & I would have been referred to my GP, I feel I do have a balanced diet with sufficient iron (MFP shows that too!), I went on a bit of a chocolate feast when I got home Why ??!! So plans to increase iron in diet now in hand.
9/10 137.2 – why am I so greedy, why do I keep stuffing my face? Why do I let food take over my life? I need to take back control NOW !! If this high avoidable spike is not a wake up call then what is! 8 days to pull this back, I want to do it ! I am going to do it ! Today is a new day, lets go.
9/11 136.2 - as you can see had a better food day, stuck to plan. 9.79 miles walked yesterday, feeling more in control, just need to stay that way!! On our way to the south coast for our holiday, feeling positive!!
9/12 134.2 - back to end of last round weight 👏, good day yesterday, despite travelling to camp site, setting up and erecting awning we still managed to walk almost 7 miles in the late afternoon before our BBQ. Stayed in control.
9/13. 134.2 - just over 12 miles walked yesterday, calories and macros in credit, had a toffee crunch ice cream as a treat - delicious!
9/14. 133.2 - lovely! 9.77 miles walked yesterday, half of the circular walk on the SW coastal path 129 floors. Food well within limits.
9/15. 133.6 - 9 miles walked yesterday. Food very good, feeling in control and happy.
9/16 134 - Hoping that's the sodium in last night's gammon steak, although delicious it did taste salty! 9.65 miles walked yesterday. 43rd wedding anniversary so we intend eating out for lunch in Salcombe, but will walk there and back. Would like to end in the 133s, but it'll be what it'll be!! 2 days to go!
9/17. 135.6 - well we did celebrate! 2 halves of cider, crab with crusty bread & fries, followed by delicious clotted cream ice cream, and cheese, crackers & port for evening meal!! Hopefully it won't stick if I'm good today. 12.5 miles walked along the beautiful coastal path to get to and from Salcombe where we ate. Thank you all for the congrats.
9/18 133.6 - that's better! I don't think it would hang about! 12.5 miles walked yesterday. Pleased with ending weight of the round lower than start weight and considering holiday and anniversary, it's a win!
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE
. Keep calm – be consistent, we're all in this together!

36YO F on my second round! I once tipped the scales at 395. I’ve done a lot of hard work with IF to get to where I am now, and came to MFP to finally see my goal come to fruition. These 10 day challenges are great. I can do anything for 10 days!
SW: 223.4
UGW: 150lbs
Challenge goals: lose as many lbs as I can! Stay under 100g net carbs. Get my exercise in!
9/9 223.4- Ended the day yesterday with 80g net carbs, plenty of water, and got my strength training in. I’m a bit upset this morning as I’m UP by 1.8lbs from yesterday, despite staying pretty perfectly on plan. I have no explanation aside from some still lingering PMS effects?! It’s been 9 days of this now though, and I’m tired of it. Blah. Still, I rise.
9/10 223.4- No loss, but no gain either. Got a Peloton ride in last night. 63g net carbs. Everything done just as it should be. Eventually the scale will catch up.
9/11 Camping 🏕 DNW had a successful day yesterday. Got my strength training session in before lunch yesterday, which means I did not make excuses to skip it like I did last time we left on a Friday to go camping! I didn’t get all of my steps in for the day, but I did manage to finish the day with 69g net carbs, even with some rice at dinner. Overall, I’m feeling good, and it’s nice to have a small break from the scale too.
9/12 Camping 🏕 DNW Had another great day. I made a plan for this weekend, and I stuck to it. There really is value in preplanning my meals, especially in cases such as a weekend away camping. I’ll definitely be doing it for every camping trip here on out. Net carbs were 63g for the day, and we got some walking in so I hit my step goal. I feel way less bloated today, so I’m positive tomorrow the scale will show some downward movement for a change!
9/13 221.0 Woohoo! The bloat is mostly gone! Time to make some big progress before it strikes again! Yesterday was a great day- 64 net carbs and got my steps in. Bring on the week! I’m ready!
9/14 219.2 FINALLY! I’ve been waiting to see 219 for two weeks!! Had a great day yesterday, obviously. Did both a strength training session and a 35 minute Peloton ride, and finished yesterday with 53 net carbs. Next mini goal: 210!
9/15 218.0 Yay! It feels so good to be past that hormonal stall. Had a great day yesterday- Pelo ride done, 51 net carbs, lots of water, and hit my step goal. Today is pizza day for dinner, so I’m already planning out my food to make sure I keep under 100 net carbs without missing out on the pizza, and it’s looking good. Bring on this day!
9/16 219.0 I know the uptick is due to two factors: 1- I ate more carbs yesterday (81 net) than I’ve been lately. The pizza was totally worth it though. And 2- I was on my feet almost the entire day, working in the kitchen. Historically, doing so has always led to some swelling in my calves and ankles. That it was only a single pound this time is a win in and of itself. It’s usually 2-5lbs! I did get my strength training in, and I also decided to increase my daily step goal by 1,000. I hit that too. Overall it was a successful day, even if the scale can’t see it! On to today, and less carbs!
9/17 218.6 Glad to see the drop this morning. I still spent a good few hours on my feet in the kitchen yesterday, so I’m sure I’ve got a little more water hanging on- I can see it in my ankles! Tomorrow though? Tomorrow it should be gone! Had a great day yesterday regardless- 59 net carbs, 37 minutes on the Pelo, and hit my step goal. Now to rock today. Let’s do this!
9/18 218.6 Well I was hoping for a drop this morning, but I guess not. Had a great day yesterday, so I know it’s nothing I’ve done wrong. 64 net carbs, strength training done, and hit my step goal. On to today!
Round loss: -4.8 woohoo!!

9/18 - 144.6 - Wowza! Didn't see that coming. Well kind of did. I ended up drinking 107oz and 1423 in estimated calories. MFP says I'm 135 cals over with my exercise adjustment being -202, but like I said yesterday, most other calorie calculators have me at 1700-1800 for 1/2lb/week loss so I'm not terribly worried. Hopefully picking up the pace will help me get through this plateau. BF went for a run/walk (took 20 seconds off yesterday's time! Yay for him!) and I walked the pup for 3km. My Guinness World Record attempt is tomorrow so waking up early again to walk/run 10km (6.2mi)
Previous Day's Comments9/09 - Wowza, did not see that coming. But yesterday was a light day on food, didn't munch on too awful much through the day. Bagel for breakfast, leftover garlic parmesan baked chicken for lunch, and beef stew for dinner. 90oz water. Have some leftover beef stew for lunch today. FamWife is having an event tonight so likely eating out to go support her. Will try to keep things in check there. Went for a run this morning. Fitbit Premium has their trial at 90 days so I signed up for it and did a little core/glute and stretching workout video from that. Excited to see how it goes and if it'll be worth keeping after the trial ends in December.
9/10 - Expected with eating out. Not many "healthy" options but I chose the healthiest one that I knew I'd eat (I HATE chicken salad and that's about the only other thing on there decently balanced). It was still a tad greasy, hence the pop up in weight. Plus the 2 beers I had. But managed 90oz water despite all that. Was supposed to go on a coffee date today with the girls but work blew up for all of us. Instead, I made myself a breakfast sandwich and a homemade hazelnut vanilla latte with extra shot of espresso. Cafe vibes from home! Fitbit premium is kicking my butt. Literally. Have a Glute&Core series (3x/week, 3 weeks long) I did day 1 yesterday. Seemed like I wouldn't get much out of it. But HOLY MOLY this morning was my booty sore. Did another this morning along with a 1 mile run, though. Unsure dinner but lunch will be the last of the leftover beef stew. Pretty excited about that. Need to dig in to what else the premium offers, like nutrition and mindfulness.

9/13 - Not bad for the weekend I had. Unfortunately had to be out of town Friday night so didn't have a scale and was eating out. Yesterday we went out to the land early and it was quick moving, not enough time to weigh in and be out the door in time. Despite being a fairly lazy day yesterday with finger foods and football, I did not get enough water in at all. I'll be focusing on that today for sure. Need to figure out food this week still, too. Shockingly a tad bit sore from the Fitbit workouts, will try for one of those later once I get some water in and feel a bit better (got that good ol' dehydration headache). Also need to take pup for a walk before the rain hits from that tropical storm in the gulf. **I won't be hit directly based on forecast, but I will get residual. Will be preparing for potential slight flooding in the area.
9/14 - I'm happy with this. Figured the weekend bloat wouldn't disappear in just one day. Went for a run already this morning. BF took pup for a walk so I could run at my own pace. Upped it to 1.5 miles and upped my pace by about 30sec/mile. Not much difference, but it's more progress than I expected. Drank 90oz water yesterday which I'm sure helped a ton. Already working on water for today. Not sure lunch for today yet, but dinner will be homemade street tacos. Cleaned out deep freezer and trying to eliminate daily grocery trips -- hoping to buy a house before our lease is up on this rental next year so paying off last of the debt and upping savings, any little extra money helps!
9/15 - Making progress here. Back to starting weight for the round. Went for a run this morning but it was interrupted by 3 things - my Fitbit died (I use that to track mileage and keep myself going if I haven't reached at least 1 mile), my headphones with my podcast that keeps me distracted from my lungs screaming, and then half mile in, TMI attacked. So I really did 2 runs, each 1/2 mile today with a break between to take care of my issues. Sigh. At least it's something. Better than nothing at all. My 10k is Sunday for Guiness World Record attempt so need to get mileage up, even if I walk some. Next 5k race is October 31st so I can build up to running in that time so long as I get the mileage down with alternating walk/run.
9/16 - It was 146.3 or .4 the first time I weighed with limited clothes but, unfortunately, my app didn't sync and I had to reweigh after I drank some water and had workout clothes on. Close enough. Putting the second weight since it'll align better with my app. Tracked calories yesterday and tried to overestimate but likely didn't do a good enough job. Definitely know sodium got me. Drank about 105oz water, though. Not sure dinner but Fam brought leftovers to us so I'll munch on that for lunch today, and if any left, tomorrow. BF been walking to help lose weight so I guess that should be motivation to kick myself in gear (I know he can likely lose more at a much faster rate and so I need to be razor sharp in my goals to get the scale moving again with this plateau. I hit a months long plateau at 55lbs, I'm hitting one now it seems. I'll break through eventually and be on my merry little way so long as I don't give up). Off for a run here in a bit. Hoping for 2 miles today.
9/17 - Actually quite surprised since we had pasta, scallops, and a homemade white wine cream sauce. I splurged and had 2 biscuits homemade parmesan herb biscuits. So delicious. Tracked it and was waaay above calories according to MFP but I'm not sure how correct that is. It has me almost 400 calories lower than the other 4 calculators for 1/2lb per week loss. Oh well. I'm also trying to overestimate calories because I wasn't 100% sure what was in the food and they say we underestimate calories if we don't know what's in it. I'm just going to track and hope I can see trends again, I have to relearn my calories with me being more active with running and such. Leftover fried rice for lunch (that's the leftovers Fam brought us) and unsure dinner right now. My walk this morning was cut short due to the pup being a mess. It was getting hot anyway and I was hoping to not have to shower, but I will at least have a rinse between the sun and the dog getting my temp up.

With running, I always find it tough to figure out how many calories I need. Some days I feel more hungry and other days I feel less hungry when I run. I wish there could be a watch that was 100% accurate and told us what we really need to eat for calories/what we burned...although, I don't know how realistic that wish is lol. I know my Garmin watch is pretty decent during the activity for what I burn but then I get this crazy post-activity calorie burn at times and it makes me wonder how accurate it is. Good luck with your running too! If you like cookbooks, the Run Fast Cook Fast Eat Slow ones are awesome! They have a breakfast-based one coming out in October too, which I'm excited for!
I'll have to check those out! I have noticed I'm hungrier in the mornings when I usually fast and that's been hard for me. But early mornings is about all I can do with work, assuming I'm working from home (once I commute regularly, Friday-Sunday is about all I'll be able to run. I have to wake up at 3:30 just to get to work on time and by the time I get home, eat, shower, and get things ready for the next day before hitting the sack, I'm only in bed for about 7 hours. Ick) Hoping Fitbit premium will give me some quick workouts I can do at work that will keep me somewhat active during the week with bodyweight.
I'll figure something out, I'm just now getting into a regular routine with running so I can start assessing the data and adjusting. It's like doing little experiments with myself!5 -

9/09 - 229.4 (-.2) Working out at Orange Theory Fitness today. I love these challenges. They keep me motivated and moving forward. Wishing everyone a fabulous next ten days.
9/10 - 229.2 (-.4) Yesterday was my indulgence meal, pizza. Making a long story as short as possible, instead of eating the three pieces I usually eat, I stopped at one and a half pieces. It was a huge disappointment. I love this pizza from one of my favorite places and this time it was a mushy mess. I was mad. What a waste of an indulgence meal. So what did I do? Continue to eat the rest of the evening. It was probably my worst eating day since I started this journey and I was fully expecting to get up and weigh in five pounds more this morning. I was kicking myself all night and my stomach was upset on top of it. I had failed. What mind games! It’s one day out of one hundred maybe? I logged everything (almost 3000 calories). Lucky I don't keep junk food around or it could have been worse. I expect a bump in the next few days, but I’m getting back on track today. Swimming is on the agenda.
9/11 - 229.2 (-.4) While I was swimming yesterday, I thought about the mind games of losing weight. I seem to panic on and off and I think that’s because I wonder, after many failures at losing and regaining, is this the beginning of doing that all over again? I’m determined that this time, things are going to be different. That’s why I’m in this challenge and active on the forums. I’m not in this journey alone and there are so many successful people cheering us on and offering us real life examples of what worked for them. I’m going to trust the process and keep moving forward. Thanks for the great support!
9/12 - 229.8 (+.2) There’s the bump I’ve been expecting. Limited exercise yesterday and no hiking today, with my sister out of town. I'm taking my dogs to a "Doggie Plunge" today as a fundraise for Freedom Service Dogs. After they close the waterpark for the year after Labor Day, it's used for the dogs to play in before they drain it. So much fun!!
9/13 - 228.2 (-1.6) In my head, getting under 230 is a big deal for me. The next mind goal is losing more than 40 pounds (221) and then weighing under 216. There are sometimes odd mini-goals that mean something big to us individually for a variety of reasons. For this week, I’m celebrating weighing under 230. After that, I’m focusing on losing 41!!
9/14 - 228.2 (-1.6) Today I’m back to the pool and then to my art studio to paint. It’s going to be a good day.
9/15 - 226.6 9 (-3.0) I’ve been focusing on getting my water in, staying under my calories goals and solid exercise. This was a nice surprise this morning.
9/16 - 226.4 (-3.2) Yesterday was really busy with no organized exercise. I didn’t get all my water in either. Today I’ll be swimming and focusing on getting all my ounces in.
9/17 - 226.6 (-3.0) A great swim yesterday. Another busy day where I ate up to my exercise calories. Today is my indulgence meal. I haven’t decided yet what I want yet. Another ten day challenge almost done…time flies.
9/18 - 227.6 (-2.0) Not surprised by the bump because of my indulgence meal yesterday. Looking forward to a good next round. My goal was 227.5, so I'm a little up from the goal, but very happy with my progress.
See you tomorrow in the next round.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/09 - 238.1 Not too surprised by a slight increase with my food intake yesterday. Working 12 hour days and still getting a T25 workout and walking the dogs in the evening. Now that MFP says I'm 51% to my goal I'm more motivated than ever. Only 49% to go!
09/10 - 238.5 Again, not overly surprised. Chinese for lunch and then a hearty dinner followed by no trips to the bathroom... Anyway got a great ab workout in this morning and plan on a nice walk tonight headed into the weekend! Here's to a drop come Monday.
09/11 - 239.6
09/12 - 239.2
09/13 - 237.9 Finally got back down but still not down to the end of the last round and the round goal is far away. I'm in the last week of T25 Alpha round so I have 3 rounds of the hardest workout this week so hopefully that helps. I also bought shoes for our Peloton bike so I can get some extra workouts in. Just have to remember I'm doing everything right and the numbers will come when they're ready.
09/14 - 237.7 It's starting to feel like this will be a flat round with only 4 days to go and that's okay! Some rounds have big losses and some rounds smaller. I'm just learning to take these flat days/weeks as mental health time to reflect on being in a better place than I was 4.5 months ago. Only had T25 abs this morning so if I don't get up and moving at work today I may hop on the Peloton and get that extra burn.
09/15 - 236.8 My first day down in weight this round! Definitely got some help from my second round of T25 Total Body. No matter how many times I do that workout, it'll knock me out. Burned 400 calories in 25 minutes and feeling great. Today is my last long day at work for a few weeks so the rest of the week I can get Peloton rides AND T25 in hopefully. I have a 5:30am Peloton ride scheduled for Saturday and I'm pretty psyched.
09/16 - 236.1 My scale wanted to say 235.9. It was teetering between the two numbers and I tried to coax it downwards but no luck. Still have a slight possibility of 235 but I'm fine either way, I'm ahead of the pace I need to be 100 lbs down by Christmas. Tomorrow is my last day of T25 Alpha. I've never completed all 5 weeks so this feels weird. Nervous to start the Beta round but if I'm not pushing myself, I'm not getting better.
09/17 - 235.9 A bit of a skewed number vs yesterday. I didn't do my T25 this morning because my body was not feeling it. I did a Peloton fitness test last night and it crushed me. I'll either to T25 or Peloton tonight depending on how I feel. It's crazy how, even though I'm able to get through T25 every day, biking hits other muscles and knocks me out. Just means there's a lot of room for improvement in that area and I'm ready to start working on it.
09/18 - 234.1 I usually don't post on the weekends but it's the end of the round and I couldn't not put a comment about this weigh in. I've worked hard on the Peloton burning 550+ calories 2x in the last 24 hours to try to get used to the bike and I guess that's being reflected here. It helped that I sweat like a pig but I will stay hopeful that this number has some staying power... before going down next round!8 -

The “new puppy diet” seems to be working. Actually what’s working is the photo of me & DH with the puppy when he arrived. I’m so fat! I seem to have stopped evening snacking cold turkey. A bit of “fizzy water” fools me into thinking I’ve had something.

I took Rory for his first tracking session yesterday and he did great. Tracking (following human scent trails) is great exercise for both of us — right now he’s doing very short tracks, of course, but soon the tracks will be longer. I train with a friend, so in addition to walking behind Rory when he’s tracking, I walk tracks for my friend’s dog to follow. We’d do tracks two or three times a week. That plus lots of puppy walks and obedience training will get my butt in gear! Am I blathering about my puppy? Yes, yes I am! 😁
9/13 - 184.2 (184.6) - 1140
Funnily enough, after a week of no snacks at night (or any time), I’m no longer hungry at night. Yay! Now if I can keep it up….
9/14 - 184.4 (184.3) - 1248
I take that back. I was hungry last night and indulged in some chocolate fudge ice cream. But that will do me for a while, and I’m skipping breakfast this morning — not particularly hungry. 😁

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 162- 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/9--207.6 Trainer day today.
9/10--208.5 Uptick is probably from the soreness I have this morning after working out with trainer yesterday. Puppy has 2nd training lesson today. We saw so much improvement after her first lesson.
9/11--208.1 Not enough protein yesterday, so will work on that today. Puppy did so well yesterday and now we have more tools to work on her jumping. Hairdresser today.
9/12--208.5 Way too much candy yesterday and feeling a little gross today. Near my hairdresser there is this really cute old fashioned candy story that I went to yesterday and got some candy. Ate too much of the candy yesterday. Luckily, I don't visit my hairdresser that often. I really need to get my water today. Trainer day today.
9/13--208.5 Low-key day today. Going to take dog out for a long walk to help with the soreness from my workout yesterday. Goals for today are water and protein.
9/14--208.1
9/15--208.7 Went to the movies yesterday and some movie popcorn, so not surprised about the uptick.
