Day/Weight/Comment
9/19 - 146 - It's Sunday and I had wine last night so I'm happy. I was also able to go dog walking today without ankle pain so I hope I'll be able to get more steps in this week.
9/20 - 146.5 - Too many carbs this weekend.
9/21 - 145.5 - I had some dandelion tea and plenty of water yesterday. It's going to be raining here the next couple days, so I'll hop on our treadmill instead of walking the dog with my husband. Over the years, I've walked our dogs through rain, sleet, and snow, but since my husband retired and I'm still working, I've let him take over.
9/22 - 145 - I'm very happy to see this number. I also know my weight will bounce up and down so I have to stay focused and watch my calories and keep moving.
9/23 - 145.5 - Ate well and hopped on the treadmill last night.
9/24 - 145 - My husband is making chili and beer bread tonight for supper. I'll eat measured portions and enjoy it!
9/25 - 145.5 - Not a surprise and I think I ate beyond maintenance today, so tomorrow won't be pretty. However, I got a lot of walking in today and enjoyed putting up some Autumn decorations.

9/27 - 145.8 - Not as bad as I expected after this weekend. Didn't get to weigh or post yesterday, it was a really busy day starting at 5am. I joined a challenge with FamWife, our Friend KK and another friend that starts today. Going to put running aside until I can figure out how to balance the daily and weekly challenges with running (my chosen path is Yoga). Challenge requires 1/2 bodyweight in water (luckily I already aim for more than that), sleep, my daily yoga workout (provided), and adding protein to each meal. Each day, we get points (team captain rotates weekly and earns 4x points) for each of our tasks we complete. At the end of the 4 weeks, the team with the most points wins an all expenses paid weekend retreat to a ski resort in Utah. I've never been to Utah so if we win, that'd be awesome. Either way, it will keep me accountable for the month with some fantastic friends (: Dinner will be leftovers so have options there. Lunch I have some broccoli I need to use up and will figure out a nice protein to go with it. Working on water already.
9/28
Previous Day's Comments9/19 - This is water weight. Was at a car show with Fam and their truck (didn't win, but had a blast! Our buddy won 2nd in his group, though). Not near enough water and it was HOT. Tomorrow I have to commute to work so won't be running or working out. Need to figure out my lunch based on what we have here at the house.
9/20 - This is definitely water from being so stinking sore. Work is about to be fun, I'll be moving like a sloth today. Hopefully I can still get some steps in without overdoing it to help move along this soreness (hello, active recovery).
9/21 - Still quite sore, but not waddling around as bad. Did meet my step goal yesterday and I'm sure that helped loosen things up a bit. Will go for a walk this morning and put off running. My back is very achy and had some sciatica yesterday. Ankle visibly swollen (though not too terrible) so will take it easy and just walk off the soreness rather than run. Drank 90oz water yesterday. Managed a smaller dinner and larger lunch which is a goal of mine to adjust my eating and help with sleep. Home today, will figure out food for lunch and dinner shortly.
9/22 - I'm not entirely sure. Best I can guess is sodium from dinner. Not sure why 144 is so elusive. Think I'm going to row today rather than run. Ankle isn't quite ready for that high impact but I need to get some conditioning. I'm lucky BF bought a rower for us last week! I completely forgot about it until yesterday hehe I love that thing. Helped get me in shape to take my Army Fitness Test after a health scare. Over 90oz water yesterday and will try for a tad more today. Lunch will be leftover dinner (only ate half, super filling) and dinner will be meatball subs. Need to work on my NEAT throughout the day, yesterday was lazy but it was definitely needed to help with sore muscles from the 10K.
9/23 - Good news is scale says I gained muscle and water mass, but lost a tad bit of fat. Though MFP is irking me. When I completed my tracking yesterday after dinner, I was right at calorie goal. Now that I'm looking to determine what could cause a larger gain (I know I did not gain a full pound of muscle overnight), it's showing I'm 362 cals over goal. WHAT?! WHY did that change so much over night?! Ugh. Anyway, Today, leftover meatballs for lunch. Hamburgers for dinner. Am trying to balance my food/macros a bit with those options. Will play with it this morning to see what meals I can make up out of those. I cannot eat only 1200 calories a day, I'll be ravenous and a not very nice person so have to figure out why MFP is suddenly deducting all my calories the day after, too.
9/24 - MFP did it again. Went to bed with extra calories in my budget, woke up to "being over" by 263 calories. Not quite sure what's going on. It also said I had negative calories (like took away cals) from exercise, but I ended up going for a second walk yesterday around lunch with the pup once it warmed up, my steps were above goal, and I was good according to Fitbit (which syncs with MFP). Oh well. Guess I'll just have to track and realize that in the morning I'll be over cals. Either way, it's a loss for today so I'm content with that, despite the salty dinner. Bloodwork today so fasting until I can get home from that (appointment is at 9 and it's about 30-45 min drive). Dinner is steak night with sweet potato and green beans. I have leftover meatballs still, may use those up at lunch, especially if I push fasting until then. No activity today due to the bloodwork (fasting and no spikes in heart rate requested for it). Maybe a walk later if it's still cool enough for the pup.
9/25 - Yay a drop! I outsmarted MFP. Then got outsmarted. I found the setting that can enable/disable negative calories for exercise. I disabled it, but it's still showing over cals (only -17 today, though from my baseline calories). But before bed, I took a screenshot! I had 462 calories remaining (exercise). At least I know what I have to do now and I managed to lose. Despite a nice steak dinner (with sweet potato and bacon green beans). I did watch my portions, which is an improvement from my normal steak dinner nights. Water was good at 90oz despite having a glass of wine and a beer. All in all, a good day (: Now to behave during the weekend to see if I can see the elusive 144 again!

MFP -Round #1
This is my first round and I’m very exited about this challenge.
I’m 62 years old, 5’4” tall and my weight goal is to lose 30 pounds by my birthday on June 6, 2022
Goals for round #1:
1- drink more water
2- prep meals for the week
3- spend less time on social media and more time here on MFP
9/19: 186.2 lbs. day went well. I bit anxious around food. But stayed on track. Calm
9/20: 186.2 lbs. good day. Drank more water, and started meal prep. Calm
9/21: 186.2 lbs. a bit off today. No exercise. Around 80% on track. Need to keep reminding myself to stay on track.
9/22: 186.2 interesting. 4 days in a row exactly the same weight. Had to make an effort to stay on track.
9/23: 184.6 day went well. On track with my 3 goals for this first round and seeing progress 😃
9/24: 184.0
9/25: 184.4 yesterday I volunteered at a race all day… managed to stay within my calories goal. Was challenging. Didn’t drink as mucho water as i wanted. Hope to be back in track today
9/26: 184.0 short ride (13K). Food went well. Uneventful and calm Sunday.

9/21 209 Keeping to the plan
9/22 209.6 got a vaccination yesterday, so I'm taking it easy today. not hungry, and have general malaise. A couple of days and I should be back to my routine.
9/23 208.2 Feel much better
9/24 207.4 finally breaking that plateau, as for the last several challenges I'd go from 211 -209 every dang week, except the week I topped out at 214. I'm keeping my fingers crossed (and hopefully my hunger in check) that this downward trend will continue. I think that post shingles vaccine fatigue and less hunger day or two helped me to reset my sense of how much to eat in a day. I'm comfortable eating less, What seems to trip me up are days at the YMCA, when I work out and am then famished. Update-I swam and do not have controlable hunger-- heavenly!!!
9/25 205.6 On a roll. I feel like I'm in my Zen of resetting my habit, hunger, and even keel. After that month of staying within the same 3-4 pound range, it is rewarding to be on this roll, although I realize it's not great to lose too much in a short time. It will be nice to get out of the obese range and into Overweighthood! I feel hunger, and can wait for it to pass. Interestingly the week of vaccines has helped me reset, lessening hunger and possibly reduced cravings. I no longer go for the treats set out at the Y for the older folks.
Weight loss can cause one to be cold-This Arizonan needs a warm hat, gloves and a warm coat for the weight loss and stint in the MInnesota fall!
9/26 207.2 So much for that 12 Subway sandwich followed by their three cookies! Gained back yesterday's loss. Oh well. Today and tomorrow are new days!

9/20: 225.2 lb
9/21: 224.0 lb
9/22: 222.8 lb - Did well on my 1st day on MFP. Need to work on my macros, though.
9/23: 223.2 lb - Expected gain, as I was 480 cal "over", yesterday.
9/24: 223.0 lb - Still over on calories, but a small weight loss and still headed in the right direction.
9/25: 222.2 lb - 0.3 lb away from goal weight for Round 163.
9/26: 222.4 lb - Probably miscalculated breakfast calories.
9/27: 223.4 lb - Went to a sports bar to watch Sunday football and ended-up 800+ cal "over".

1 day left in the challenge to lose 1.5 lb. Impossible? no, probable? no. #staytuned9 -
@mourvedre You've got this. My weight bounces up and down but the downward trend is obvious when I look over time. You are down over four pounds this round. That's fantastic!! Someone recommended an app to me early on called Happy Scale. It shows weight loss trends and is really reassuring when I see the bouncing numbers.
Awwwww, thanks so much! 🤗3 -

My goal for 2021 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, strength training, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
9/19 203.4 Walked 4 miles, 1792 cal, 115 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.
NSV . My high waisted jeans slipped over my hips without unzipping … so bought 2 new pairs of jeans in a size smaller. WIN!
9/20 202.5 Walked 3.4 + 1 miles, 1899 cal, 246 net carbs, AF. Up a few times during the night and finally turned on coffee at 3am this morning. Feeling a lot of stress but also coughing a ton. Hope whatever ails me shakes loose soon.
9/21 202.7 Walked 2.4 miles, 1380 cal, 129 net carbs, AF. Definitely not feeling well yesterday. Took two 2 hr naps, hot tea, cough drops, meds, and skipped book club in the evening.
9/22 203.0 Walked 2 + 1.1 miles, Strength Class 1 hr, 1755 cal, 86 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
9/23 202.7 Walked 3.8 + 1.3 miles, only thought about swimming, 2453 cal, 184 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Spent most of the day looking at things to do on our trip in October and dreaming about places we could go early next year.
9/24 202.5 Walked 1.3 + 3.2 miles, Strength Class 1 hr, 1402 cal, 41 net carbs, 1 beer. Breakfast after exercise class with the gang + Torchy’s Tacos with DH in the evening. Held it together when ordering by preplanning and sticking to the plan.
9/25 202.9 Walked 3.2 miles, 1770 cal, 108 net carbs, 2 glasses wine + 1 Kirin beer. DD & I walked all 3 dogs, shopped today for clothes & rugs and enjoyed a pedicure. Then our husbands joined us for sushi dinner. Later in the evening DD & her hubby introduced us to 2 David Chang TV series “Ugly Delicious” and “The Mind of a Chef”. Wonderful Friday.
9/26 203.3 Walked 3.2 miles, 2025 cal, 177 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. DH requested his grandmother’s southern stewed chicken … I created something close. It turned out to be good comfort food for DS1 just returning from a work trip to Dubai and my DIL that is now 6 months pregnant and didn’t cook for herself while he was gone.
9/27 202.7 Walked 3.4 miles, ? Cal, ? Net carbs, AF. Dined out at Hearsay and ordered a Mojito mocktail (requested less sugar) since we were attending a Squeeze + Halls & Oates concert at Woodlands Pavilion an hour from home. Loved the food DH & I split! AHI TUNA FLATBREAD - rare tuna, micro greens, carrot, cucumber, gochujang aioli, wasabi caviar. KUNG PAO SHRIMP & CALAMARI - lightly fried calamari, shrimp, jalapeño, bell pepper, bean sprouts (no rice)

I’m in! This is round 3 for me.
I can do anything for 10 days!
Goals: 11,000 steps a day, <80 carbs a day, strength training 3x/week, cycling 2-3x/week
MFP SW: 237.6
CW(9/18): 218.6
9/19: 217.8 Starting this challenge off good! Finished the day with over 11,000 steps and 52 net carbs. Saturdays are typically my rest days, so no exercise beyond the steps. ✔️Day 1 success!
9/20: 217.4 Creeping down some more! Finished yesterday off with 60 carbs, over 12,000 steps, and got a Pelo ride in. I’m ready for this week!
9/21: 216.6 Feeling really good this morning! Hit my step goal yesterday, finished the day with 48 net carbs, and got my strength training in last night. Bring on this Tuesday!
9/22: 216.0 Another successful day yesterday! Hit my step goal, finished with 48 net carbs, and got a 38 minute Peleton ride in. Today I’m feeling a little tired, but nothing I can’t handle. I also have dinner with my MIL tonight. She’s a great cook, although not a low carb cook. So I’m planning a very low carb lunch, and then I’ll just do as well as I can at dinner. I got this!
9/23: 216.8 A bump up this morning, but not unexpected after ice cream for dessert last night. I did everything right, even kept to my carb goal. Ice cream gets me every time though! It’s all good! Back to my normally scheduled programming today!
9/24: 215.6 Had a great day yesterday! 40 minutes on the Pelo, over 11,000 steps, and 53 net carbs. Ready to do it again today!
9/25: 214.8 Yesterday was a good day overall. Got my steps in and finished the day with 44 net carbs. Postponed my strength workout till today though because I was feeling rough yesterday.
9/26: 213.2 Pretty surprised by such a big drop, but very happy about it. Had a great day yesterday- hit my steps, finished the day with 50 net carbs, and I’m feeling better too! Bring on today, I’m ready!
9/27: 212.0 Another big drop, wow! Had a great day yesterday- 34 net carbs and hit my step goal. I took the weekend off from exercise because of not feeling 100%-I still don’t today- but hopping back on it today. Bring on the week!

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.

Decided to just go get a test yesterday. Negative! Still running a bit slow today though.

Every week I have to break the back of the Carbo-Monster that I sometimes let through the front door on the weekends. Just writing this makes me want a cinnamon roll.
40 pounds ago I let the Carbo-Monster sleep in my basement full time. I am slowly building boundaries.

Cruising along in the 206 zone and BOOM! Chinese Buffet for lunch yesterday. Yes, yesterday was higher in calories, and the weekend was pretty undisciplined, but I think most of this is sodium based water retention. With a little leakage and evaporation, things will get back to normal soon. 😊

Thank you, everyone, for the comments on my art. It's been an amazing journey and art is my play and me time. The show is online and is one of my biggest events for the year. I'm excited to see where it all lands.8

9/20 202.3 I feel like I am fighting off stress with a club and I am losing the fight. I know I have to get my head together in order to lose weight and my head is not together right now. Maybe I should be working on maintenance instead of attempting to lose because right now I am so discouraged. Trauma is not something you just get over and I am trying to just get over it. I am still trying to watch my calories intake, I am still doing my workout routine. However cortisol (stress hormone) is a beast.
