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.

Good start to the round. All of the residue of the Chinese Buffet on Sunday has left the building. Yesterday I even had a Brisket sandwich with fries for lunch and pesto spaghetti (reasonable portion) for supper. My spinning class wiped it away. HA!
I am “working” toward the day when today’s weight is on the upper end, after the Chinese Buffett.
9/30: 208.2
I have NO idea what just happened here. Possibly mis-logging the bowl of Pho I had yesterday? It would have to be sodium and TMI.
10/1: 206.8
The fact that it is October already blows my mind. This is a dangerous snacky comfort food time period for me every year.
That is why this group is important to me. MFP is the only “social media” I can really stand. It is encouraging and brutally honest.
I hate Facebook and its evil spawn Instagram. I have accounts to remain in contact with friends and family regarding events and such, but I must wade through so much posing and virtue signaling about every imaginable divisive topic! All this while FB profits off my personal information. (my own fault) I am about to cut the cord. Apology for the rant!
Glad we can stay on topic here (like I just didn’t) and encourage each other about our common goals. 😊

I have not posted here since the 1st. As you can see, I did not have a very disciplined weekend. “This behavior is doing wonders for my rolling ten-day average” he said with sarcasm.

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?!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/29 156.8 Last night I had a pretty major binge, so was expecting a gain from yesterday. Met with someone with a Hospice Agency, today. This was another tough day... but so far I'm doing well with food, today.
9/30 156.8 I’m ok with this considering the stress, once again.
10/1. 156.2
10/2. 156.2
10/3 157.2
Was expected & happy it's not worse. I've binged at night the last 3 days. My Dad is still in the hospital. Had very upsetting experience, yesterday, and have had several cries since then. One this morning, too. Sorry to be such a downer on here. From now on I will try to just post positive things as I don't want to focus on the negative & I hate being such a downer on this thread. So, either no comment or positive ones. Yesterday, I had over 8500 steps & drank 40 oz of water.
10/4. 155.2
10/5 155.2. 8,000 steps yesterday. the past 7 days had 40 oz water per day.

Heck yeah I’m in!
Fourth round for me! I can do anything for 10 days!
Goals- Lose as much weight as I can! Keep to 80 net carbs/day; Pelo 2-3x/week; strength training 2-3x/week; 11,500 steps/day
MFP SW: 237.6
Round 164 SW: 211.8
9/29: 212.0 Had a great day yesterday- hit my steps, got a Pelo ride in, and finished the day at 52 net carbs. So all things considered, this tiny uptick this morning is not unexpected because it’s absolutely the monthly hormonal shift. One foot in front of the other! It’ll pass soon.
9/30: 211.8 Had a great day yesterday, especially considering I was unsure of what dinner would look like. Wound up having a salad! Finished the day with 46 net carbs, a strength training session done, and step goal achieved. On to today!
10/1: 212.4 Had a weird day yesterday. I was busy all day, literally from the time I got up to the time I went to bed, I was going nonstop. That led to undereating slightly, less water than usual, and not hitting my step goal. It is what it is though. Still stayed within my carb goal- 66 for the day. Today will be less busy and I’ve got half my food already planned out. Going camping this weekend, and I’ve learned my best method when camping is to preplan my meals, so I’m sure I’ll be fine with food. For now, I’ll continue riding out this hormonal weight shift.
10/2: 🏕 DNW Had a good day yesterday. Hit my steps, got plenty of water, stuck to my plan for my first camping meal of the weekend, and finished the day with 54 net carbs. I have today’s food all mapped out already to avoid any overeating, and plenty of walking in the forecast too.
10/3: 🏕 DNW Preplanning my food for our weekend camping trips makes things so easy. I might start doing this every other day too. I had a great day yesterday. 44 net carbs, step goal hit, and plenty of water. Tomorrow I should see the reward for sticking to my plan this weekend, even when I was soo tempted to make myself a s’mores while I was making them for the kids last night!
10/4: 212.4 Had a great day yesterday. Finished the day with 36 net carbs, hit my step goal, and plenty of water. Unfortunately, hormones are still masking any scale progress. Hopefully I’ll drop before the end of this challenge. I did take my monthly measurements today and have dropped a total of 15.5” over the past month, so there’s that at least!
10/5: 212.4 So it seems this round is a stagnant round. I know it’s merely hormones though, so it’s all good. I had another great day yesterday- 68 net carbs, strength training done, and step goal achieved. On to today!

10/4 150.8 (trend 152.9) Steps 10,450 That's exactly 30lbs lost! 🎉 went to the gym and did an hour fast walking while watching the London marathon for inspiration. Walking at 4.2mph is almost too fast for my short legs and I'm tempted to jog... but not quite there yet! Hubby spent the day batch cooking lots of different curries for the freezer, he's a bit annoyed that I won't be eating them too, I think it gives him joy to cook for me, but it's not what I want to be eating at the moment and I have to do what's right for me.

@39flavours congrats on your weight loss!!!
Also, wanted to tell you that i have similar issue with my husband. It gives him joy to cook for me. I’m not sure that it annoys him, tho. I just feel kinda guilty not to eat his cooking when he’s lovingly spent time & effort. In our case, we have talked about it, and he says that’s fine… but I still feel guilty… like I’ve taken one of his joys from him.8 -

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 #2:
1- drink more water
2- spend less time on social media and more time on my MFP
3- get up every day at 6AM
Round one: lost 2.2 lbs
09/29 -184.0 was a bit over with eating. Did a strength training class. I increased my cycling time this week and I usually gain a few pounds. So far my weight is steady. But yesterday I wasn’t organized with food… hmmm…. I’ll try to go back on track tomorrow.
09/30 - 184.2 and another 40K on the bike! Ended riding 400K in September. I’m happy about that and that is encouraging me to aim for 450K in October. But need to rest. I was pretty tired and aching during yesterday’s ride
10/01 - 183.8 today I biked 32K and got lost on one of the mtb trails. And it was fun.
10/02 - 185 this was kind of expected. The day before I had a big pasta dish for dinner. First I though I would eat half but I was so hungry! Another 36K on my bike😀
10/03 - 182.4 nice! But don’t like Sundays… :(still stayed almost on track with food.
10/04 - 183 cycle 51K. Not bad. Food was good. After doing a long ride it’s hard not to start eating without control

10/4-DNW-MIL had us over for dinner; she had made corned beef, potatoes.......It all tasted so good. Today is our great aunt’s 89th birthday and all she wants is Kentucky Fried Chicken and chocolate cake. I will eat with her, and leave it all there. Tomorrow it will really start to cool off...I can’t wait! Happy Monday!🌷
10/5-171-Not bad after another night of heavy food. Walked after dinner last night....it’s a start! Walk, horse, work and walk today. Healthy choices and lots of water!10 -

There is no going back! NOT THIS TIME!10 -

9/30 - 239.9 A back tooth decided to fracture yesterday afternoon. Soft foods til I can get a dentist to deal with it. That's one way to force myself to stay on a diet!
10/1 - 238.6. Root canal yesterday, can't get the crown done until 10/28. I'll be skin and bones by then. Well, at least I'll be less blubbery by then anyway.
10/2
10/3 - 239.0 My dad's 82nd BD yesterday. We went to an outdoor party for him and I didn't eat particularly well. Fried chicken, pasta salad, and birthday cake were the worst of my offenses, but in limited quantities (With this darned tooth I have to eat small bites and chew on one side, etc.) I figured taking it easy the rest of the day would offset, but apparently not. What the heck, this may be the last time dad is able to celebrate, I'll accept the calories and move on.
10/4 - 238.0
10/5 - 237.6 My dentist had a cancellation yesterday so I now have a temporary crown in place, waiting 3 weeks for permanent crown. Three weeks ahead of soft, non-sticky foods.... doesn't he know that takes most halloween candy right off the table for me???? LOL I should think about doing something like this every month.

@eyesopennow I am sorry about the tooth (and the cost of the crown I'm sure), but I couldn't help but laugh this morning at your comment. Thanks for the chuckle. It went well with my coffee!5 -
@matratazola Sending healing vibes for your dad. Hoping for good news! Sending {{hugs}} to you. 100% support for you.
@Elbee1 Thinking of you during this very difficult time. It is very brave of you to share what you share. Too have a peek into eachother's lives is one of the most valuable things we have going for us on here. 100% support for you!
@quiltingjaine Thanks for keeping this challenge alive! We love you for it!7 -

Day/Weight/Comment
09/28 …..188.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
09/29 …..185.6 ….. Finally a TMI on day 5. A huge drop on the scale and a full 1% down on the body fat. I’ve really got to start adding fiber, even if it’s in the form of benefiber. A very light dinner and some good snack choices last night really helped too. I am feeling hopeful after this drop. Good luck to everyone this round.
09/30 …..186.2 ….. I think this is a normal physical adjustment to the nearly 3 pound drop yesterday. However, I did have 3 pieces of sugar-free Russell Stovers dark chocolate from a friend that put me over calories by less than 200. Also, not too much movement yesterday. I was staining doors for my reno and that kept me in place most of the day. I’ll work harder at some extra activity. I’m just so tired in the evenings.
10/01 …..187.0 ….. Dammit! Binge last night due to cravings. I will try to make today count for something!
10/02 …..185.0 ….. I did very well yesterday. Tons of total overall calorie burn, 16,000 steps which added up going in and out of house working outside. 7 miles, 6 floors and 2900 overall calories burned for the day. This 2 pound drop is welcome! Travel today so, unfortunately, there will be a bump up again tomorrow. Today will be the opposite. Lots of car sitting and driving, little movement, and restaurant for my main meal. Ugg. Life happens! I’ll try to make good choices. I want to be able to bounce back quickly.
10/03 …..187.0 ….. There’s the travel uptick I expected. I’m okay with it even though my body always seems to prefer staying somewhere in the 187 range, I will not stay locked in. I’m boss of this body of mine! Today will be a very carefully planned day although rain is expected all day. At least I can keep my diet on point. The great NSV yesterday is that I was in a big city and did lots of shopping and I didn’t bring home (in groceries) anything that was not in my plan! Winning!
10/04 …..187.2 ….. …..Some unexpected travel yesterday which took me away for about 4 hours late afternoon until evening. However, the shorter trip did not blow my dietary goals. I just lacked movement and as much water as I would normally drink. I hope today goes smoother.
10/05 …..186.8 ….. I did sneak in a few extra calories last night after I closed out, but not enough to hurt the scale. I’m so glad to see a drop today. It’s time to see 185 point anything again. Hopefully in the next couple of days.

DH made white chicken enchiladas last night for dinner — yummy, but high cals and I didn’t plan ahead too well. Leftovers tonight, but I’ll have a light lunch, and a good walk with the pup before the afternoon rain arrives. Enjoy your Saturday!
10/03 — 180.8 (181.3) - 1112
We skipped the enchiladas last night in favor of rotisserie chicken, so the high-fat cheesy things are on the menu for tonight. Planning for them! Rory pup and I had a lovely walk along the greenway yesterday. Hoping for another when the rain stops. He’s a great motivator—lots of energy to dissipate! Happy Sunday, all!
10/04 — 182.8 (181.6) - 1917
Woopsie! We had the leftover enchiladas last night. And for over a month I’ve been craving honey barbecue Fritos — crazy! But I bought a bag yesterday on my way home from a 2-mile walk and ate wayyyy too many. So most of this gain is salt/water. Ok, satisfied my yearning, back on track today.
10/05 — 182 (181.6) - 1477
Still a little high on calories, but not bad.

End of 10 day challenge goal: 223
Drink a minimum of 64 oz water a day
Swim, Circuit, Hike (5x week minimum)
Seven days of maintenance to begin this challenge
Challenge 156: 245.4 (-1.8) - Challenge 157: 242 (-3.4) - Challenge 158: 240 (-2.0) - Challenge 159: 237 (-3.0) - Challenge 160: 235.6 (-1.4) - Challenge 161: 229.6 (-6.0) - Challenge 162: 227.6 (-2.0) Challenge 163 223.4 (-4.2)
9/29 223.6 (+.2) Today is my first day of maintenance. I’m taking seven days “off” and allowing my body to adjust to where I am before starting on the next phase. I’m going from 1250 calories a day to 1740. It feels strange and uncomfortable already and this is just breakfast. No planned formal exercise today. The art show is going great so far, which is really exciting.
9/30 223.8 (+.4) My art show sold out! I’m thrilled. It was a crazy busy day as you can imagine. I ate dinner late and didn’t get in all my water, so I’m not surprised at a slight bump on the scale. It was my first day in maintenance mode. It was nice to add a little parmesan cheese to my salad and have a slice of toast with peanut butter. Tish asked me if I was going to eat up to my maintenance calorie level or just eat more when I specifically wanted it. My response was the first, to eat up to my maintenance level. As I was eating yesterday, I better understood what she was asking. I did measure and log and had 200 calories left at the end of the day. My answer after one day in is…I will eat until I’m not hungry and keep it below my calorie goals. After limiting my calories, it’s not surprising that I get full even when I have calories left. It was a strange, but good first day.
10/1 222.8 (-.6) Yesterday was one of my busiest days in a long time, so I didn’t eat up to maintenance level. I never thought I’d find it difficult to eat more. Things will slow down for awhile now and I can get back to exercise, drinking my water and eating according to plan. I think I need a nap.
10/2 223.6 (+.2) I got my swimming in yesterday and have Orange Theory Fitness on the schedule today. I did eat up to my maintenance calorie level and half of my exercise calories. In that mix, I actually had a bottled margarita, my first alcohol since I started this journey. I’m not stressing at all over the bump. It will be interesting to see how my body responds to this week’s change in calorie levels.
10/3 223.4 (0) My lunch yesterday was late and about 5pm I thought I should prep dinner so I’d finish eating by 6pm. But…I wasn’t the least bit hungry. So, no dinner for me. I ate just under 1300 calories. With exercise, I had 850 calories remaining. Today is a walk with the dogs and I’m planning to do a better job eating all my meals and drinking all my water. Just a few days left in maintenance mode.
10/4 223.6 (+.2) I’m staying in a good range. There are some days I was lower in calories than my maintenance level and I have to admit, I was hoping still to lose a little. Tomorrow is my last day in maintenance mode and then it’s back full force into deficit mode. I can’t wait to get back to losing!!
10/5 222.8 (-.6) The last maintenance level day. I was really nervous about starting this, but I’m so glad I did. It has only been one week, which probably isn’t quite enough, but it’s a good way to practice. I’ll report in tomorrow about what I’ve learned so far. Heading for the swimming pool this morning and will be prepping meals for getting back on the weight loss track tomorrow.10 -

Day/Weight/Comment
9/29 206.6 Getting started here. Weight hopefully is up a bit from the long weekend of traveling. We visit my almost 82 year old mother often to help her and also have carry in from somewhere. Always stressful and I eat.
9/30 207.2 Hopefully that was the salty food I ate yesterday. I should know better by now but it was tasty. Today is looking like it’s going to be stressful. Got to keep myself focused and not give into impulse stress eating.
10/1 206.8 Turned out to be an okay day yesterday even with all the stress. I was down instead of up. 😊
10/2 207.6. Not so good last night. We stayed up very late and ended up binge eating. Both of these I never do. Still a lot of stress and figuring out how to cope with it. Hubby had a very bad health diagnosis on Thursday and I need to learn better coping skills than eating.
10/3 206.2. Very happy with this. I watched my snacking and finally got rid of all that salt from eating out earlier this week.
10/4 205.8 Going in the right direction. Exactly half way there for this rounds goal. I wasn’t sure how much to shoot for since this is my first round.
10/5 204.8 Wow! I wasn’t expecting that. Hubby had some tests yesterday and today so he has been on a restricted diet. I felt bad eating around him so I too ate less. Ding, ding, ding EAT LESS!

Round 164
September 29 - October 8, 2021
Female, 5’7”
SW: 164.7 pounds(Sept 28, 2021)
RGW: 163.2 pounds (-1.5 pounds)
Day/Weight/Comment
9/29: 164.7 - Yesterday did a Jazzercise workout (cardio and light core) and a 2 mile neighborhood walk. Logged all my food and stayed within my calorie goals (did not eat back exercise calories). I’m trying out a size M workout leggings since my size L was falling down during workouts. I’m clearly in between sizes since I feel like a bit of a sausage in the size M.
9/30: 163.8 - Jazzercise workout in my new size M leggings. Pro - I didn’t have to pull up my pants every 5 minutes. Con - the muffin top. Ate within my calories (ate some of my exercise calories back, but not all) and was heavier on the protein (for me) yesterday. The overnight loss of 0.9 pounds was a nice surprise this morning.
10/1: 164.9 - Yesterday’s Jazzercise workout couldn’t counteract a night of debauchery (1/2 a veggie calzone, chocolate cake and a brownie). I had planned my calories around two social events yesterday, but the cake and brownie at 9pm no less, weren’t my best decisions.
10/2: 164.2 - Did my first training hike for my upcoming (first ever) backpacking trip. 5.75 miles with some light elevation gains (600 ft) and light pack (13 pounds). It felt great! Although I was within all my calorie and macro goals, I felt super full after dinner (carb and fat heavy) so was surprised at the .7 pound drop. I also realize this morning that one of my food entries, chosen from the database, was just calories and no macros. Will have to continue be vigilant about which entries I use for my food diary so I don’t get any false sense of being over or under.
10/3: 163.8 - Back to where I was on 9/30. Did my workout yesterday morning and ate below my calories but was too full to eat to plan. Macros were very heavy on carbs and fats. I really don’t know how many hours I slept since I had a hard time getting comfortable to fall asleep and then had to get up in the middle of the night since I have been drinking so much water. Hate that effect.
10/4: 164.7 - Ugh. I’ve been gaining and losing the same 1 pound all week long. Frustrating. A bunch of social (eating out) activities the last few days are teaching me that I need to figure out how to better estimate the calories when it isn’t my “usual” food. I thought I was estimating on the high side, but who knows…
10/5: 162.7 - The mysteries of weight loss. It teaches you patience and perseverance. Continuing my workouts everyday and staying within calories. I’m working hard to balance my macros which is a little tougher as a vegetarian with a sweet tooth.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/29 207 Wow, I half expect that drop is due to dehydration, but will take it! Went sailing for the first time with my brother in his Hobie Cat yesterday-so I didn't do much of the work. And I wasn't guzzling water all day, but lost weight? Maybe I should go sailing more often!
9/30 206.4 Nice long walk in a local park yesterday
10/1 205.4 More sailing yesterday, more weight gone. Maybe it's that I'm away from the fridge. I'm at the same weight I was at the end of June, so reality check. 205.2 -214 range over the summer. At least I'm down from 230 in April, and that 278 several years ago! Trying these weight loss challenges have kept my focus on eating healthy foods in limited portions. So keeping it up. Thanks for participating you all.
@_JeffreyD_Yep, agree regarding fb & Instagram...MFP is a far better platform. Reddit's loseit is also good
10/2 207.4
10/3 206.4 Such a relief to be out of that 209-211 plateau from last month! I must admit, it was getting old to start several challenges and have the same results week after week. challenge after challenge. I'm planning on these 200 + single digits to stay around a while! I do not want to go back to the 200 +teens! My new mini goal is to become "overweight." 202 for my height is the top of the BMI chart for my height and I can say, "Adios" to obesity! The end of October is realistic; sooner would be cool. Speaking of cool, is anybody else cold now that we weigh less?
10/4
10/5 206.2 Maintaining a loss feels great! I'll prep food for my trip to the big city, including lots of soft foods for the post root canal recovery time. Not fond of dental procedures--such is life
10/6 Root canal retreat day-yikes!

Round 164 (96th for me) . I still need this to help keep me on track, we go away again for a long weekend during this round so lets see how I do this time !!
@QuiltingJaine-thank you for setting up the new round.
Challenge for this round is to stay on track – Friday we are off for another elongated weekend away in our touring caravan, up to North East Yorkshire this time. Again for the major part I will be responsible for both choosing & providing food, a loss will be welcome – any loss will be a win!
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.

9/29 136.2 – 11.26 miles walked yesterday.
9/30 DNW - scale battery died ! 8.38 miles walked yesterday, good not within goals 😥.
10/1 135 - new battery & I like it!! No walking yesterday, child minding little DGS and all day rain kept us indoors, food reasonable.
10/2. 135.6 - 6.64 miles walked yesterday after 3 hours in the car traveling up to Scarborough, temperatures are much more autumnal now than the previous fortnight we had, what a difference a week makes!!
10/3. 135.2 - 11.68 miles walked yesterday from the site into Scarborough along North shore to and around the castle, harbour along the South shore and then back before the rain came !! Food will within limits.
10/4. 135.2 - 14.22 miles, walked to and up Oliver's Mount to see the war memorial and the marvelous panoramic view over Scarborough before a well earned coffee at the top still sitting the view. Food well within limits.
10/5. 135.2 - 13.32 miles walked yesterday, along North Shore, all the way along South Shore and a little bit further on the coastal path before turning round and doing the return journey. We did stop on the way back for a Yorkshire cream tea, thought we deserved it!! Food still within calories.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
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.

9/29 117.0 AF Going to lunch with neighbor ladies. I plan on steak fajitas but no tortillas. There will be chips involved. 😱
9/30 117.5 👍 AF Lunch yesterday was so pleasant. We left the restaurant just before 2. I ate 5 cherry tomatoes in the evening. I did have a large diet soda in the evening and water. Overall a good day!
10/1 118.0 AF Golden Corral last night
10/2 117.5
10/3 118.0 Pool closing party last night although the pool is opened until at least Nov 1. Dinner was a carb storm so I did eat fried chicken but no macaroni salad, baked beans, cole slaw (always sweetened🤮) or dessert (cookies, cake, and brownies.
10/4 119.0 AF Thai meal Hot Chili w/beef and about 1/2 c steamed rice. I ate half for late lunch and half LATE for me. Fasting blood work at 7:15 this morning followed by blood donation at 8:45. LATE UPDATE: Lab started the day 1/2 hour late so had to change my eating plan. I made a stupid choice at McD’s and ate the bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit instead of leaving the biscuit. Then after blood donation grabbed the “healthiest” snack - Smartfood white cheddar popcorn. Sooo, over my carbs for today and need higher protein later. It’ll be okay, it’s only one day.
10/5 118.5 AF I had a hamburger patty and small salad for dinner. My carbs for the day were over but everything else was fine even after that horrendous start.9 -

Round 164 GW: 205.6
Day/Weight/Comment
9/29 / 206 / I was expecting a drop, but not this big of one! I had a big lunch and went to bed early - ate slightly less calories than normal. Almost thinking it's just a reflection of me having less in my body right before weigh-in time. My round goal weight may be way too high but I'll see where things are at tomorrow.
9/30 / 206.4 / Played 9 holes of golf yesterday and walked the course rather than riding. Took my dog for a short walk as well. Losses the few days before were substantial so not surprised by this small bump. Today my husband, mom and I are going for a one night getaway to Banff. I am planning two days at maintenance calories - I was supposed to be in a two week maintenance break right now but decided for various reasons not to stick it out the whole time. However, decided to cut myself a few planned days at maintenance while I enjoy some holidays.
10/1 / 206.4 / Considering myself lucky I didn't see a gain on the scale today as I had a bigger dinner out with my husband last night. Sometimes it takes a day or two to show up but I also may have over-estimated how many calories I ate. Similar type of day today but intending to stay within calories.. focusing on ensuring I get my 10K steps as well.
10/2 / 206.2 / Yesterday my husband, mother and I had high tea at the Banff Springs Hotel. Whenever I have a meal out that I cannot accurately track due to the calories not being posted online, I take care to overestimate so I don't see a negative impact on the scale. So, I got to really enjoy myself but still saw a drop today, so double win!
10/3 / 206.6 / Golfed 18 holes yesterday and walked the course. Had supper out afterwards with friends. Pre-picked my meal and was happy with my choices.
10/4 / 207 / My husband and I are getting a Peloton delivered tomorrow but I decided to take a couple of their other classes on the app yesterday before it comes - my first HIIT and a yoga class. Off to hike in the mountains today as I'm still on vacation.
10/5 / 208.4 / Back to start weight for this round. We did eat supper late last night and I exceeded calories by a bit but I'm on a large deficit so while I ate more than planned, I was still under maintenance. We are away for another night away at a spa tonight so will be doing my best to keep calories in check for dinner out tonight.

I was after an elusive 85 lbs loss 😂 but 83 will do me fine. (Now 84 😁)
• 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!😷
October 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 164- 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.

10/1- 216.2
10/2- 215.4- had a good day yesterday, the weekends always seem to cause me trouble.
10/3- 214.6 - had a good day eating wise. I worked out extra hard since I knew I would have a couple drinks and it seemed to pay off!
10/4- 214.2- it was nice to see I can have a couple drinks and some pizza in moderation with working out and still lose. It’s all about balance. ❤️
10/5- 214.8- not sure how I gained since I was under in consumed calories and burned at least 800 in workouts. Hoping it’s just because of lack of sleep since I was up really late with my puking 3 year old 🤢

Round 164 (96th for me) . I still need this to help keep me on track, we go away again for a long weekend during this round so lets see how I do this time !!
@QuiltingJaine-thank you for setting up the new round.
Challenge for this round is to stay on track – Friday we are off for another elongated weekend away in our touring caravan, up to North East Yorkshire this time. Again for the major part I will be responsible for both choosing & providing food, a loss will be welcome – any loss will be a win!
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
9/29 136.2 – 11.26 miles walked yesterday.
9/30 DNW - scale battery died ! 8.38 miles walked yesterday, good not within goals ?.
10/1 135 - new battery & I like it!! No walking yesterday, child minding little DGS and all day rain kept us indoors, food reasonable.
10/2. 135.6 - 6.64 miles walked yesterday after 3 hours in the car traveling up to Scarborough, temperatures are much more autumnal now than the previous fortnight we had, what a difference a week makes!!
10/3. 135.2 - 11.68 miles walked yesterday from the site into Scarborough along North shore to and around the castle, harbour along the South shore and then back before the rain came !! Food will within limits.
10/4. 135.2 - 14.22 miles, walked to and up Oliver's Mount to see the war memorial and the marvelous panoramic view over Scarborough before a well earned coffee at the top still sitting the view. Food well within limits.
10/5. 135.2 - 13.32 miles walked yesterday, along North Shore, all the way along South Shore and a little bit further on the coastal path before turning round and doing the return journey. We did stop on the way back for a Yorkshire cream tea, thought we deserved it!! Food still within calories.
10/6 136.8 - No structured walking yesterday as we packed up, travelled 3.5 hours back home & then unpacked and cleaned, did the laundry all ready for next time! Last “longer than a 2 night” break until Christmas – ahhr, I mentioned the “C” word !!
10/7
10/8
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE. Keep calm – be consistent, we're all in this together!
