Goal weight for this round: Maintaining 116/117 or dropping a little bit
Previous days
9/29 117.2 pre-workout 116.4 post workout. Started the morning with a 4 mile run. It felt pretty decent except for a side stich almost half way through it but I just walked for a bit and then slowly jogged until I could run a bit faster again. Starting to look into cold weather gear for running because my goal is to run through winter. Slept well for the first time in a while last night. I’m not completely sure why I slept so well but I’m hoping it continues 😊.
9/30 117.4 pre-workout 116.4 post workout- Today was a solid day all around. I ran a little under 3 miles this morning and my food has been on point all day. I even resisted Chipotle when my husband decided he wanted that and I continued to cook the drumsticks I took out of the freezer for dinner. I had three drumsticks and dipped in a combo of bbq and buffalo sauce (~1 tbs total), roasted cauliflower sprinkled with this new powdered cheese seasoning from Trader Joe’s (so yummy!), and 300g of cantaloupe for dessert. Breakfast and lunch was also yummy while being healthy too!
10/1 Did not post. Scale was weird and read 115 prior to my workout and then it read 116 after my workout.
10/2 Did not weigh today. Walked the nearby lake and hit the farmer’s market with my friend. Walked a total of 6ish miles total this morning. Food has been good and energy is improving as I continue to eat at maintenance and work on building strength/muscle.
Non scale victory: I made soup and had left over chicken for lunch today with a slice of bakery toast. I got full pretty quickly and didn’t feel the need to finish the soup. I think eating the chicken before everything helped a bit with satiety. Have a good weekend all!
10/3 Celebrated my mother in law’s birthday today with takeout from the 99’s. It was crazy to think back to how far she has come this year. Last year around this time she was gearing up for chemo with a lot of unknowns and now today she celebrated another birthday and hopefully many more cancer free ones. She’s truly an amazing woman and I’m so blessed to have her in my life and be able to live with both her and my father in law.
I wasn’t super hungry for the takeout, so it worked out and only ate about half, but I did have a nice piece of tiramisu. It’s all about balance right? I think I’ll be having something light for dinner because I’m just kind of tired today and not in the mood to make anything fancy. Have a good night!
10/4 117.4 or 6 after a weekend that was a touch high in salt. So, I’ll happily take it. Did a 2 mile walk this morning and yoga during lunch. The next couple of days I’ll be taking it a little easier because I had something medical wise this weekend and it was recommended to reduce strenuous activity for 4ish days afterwards. TOM is arriving within the next week, so this lines up well because my energy is usually a little lower anyways during the time leading up to it.
I treated myself to new headphones (thanks to credit card points balances), so I don’t have to fight with wires on my runs and I truly love them! The app that goes with them is awesome and allows you to choose from a ton of different presets based on the music genre you’re listening to. I never realized how different music could sound just by tweaking a couple things.
Breakfast consisted of two eggs, toast, and a protein shake. Lunch was plain Greek yogurt, a cut up peach and kashi go lean crunch sprinkled on top. I took out pork cutlets to sautee up for dinner with beets, corn, broccolini, and I forget what else I need to use up for produce in the fridge.
10/5 117.4 or 6 Didn’t end up posting this yesterday: The scale was spazzy this morning. Maintenance is going well. Breakfast was typical of the last week or so. I had an all day training that I had to listen to, so I was able to multi task with my wireless headphones on and clean up the place while also working. Got dishes done that were piling up and put away some other dishes and all the other little kitchen cleaning tasks.
10/6 117.6 Food was meh last night because we went for a walk before dinner and ended up getting take out because it got late. Luckily it didn’t do too much harm. This morning I did a 2 ½ mile walk and will start running again tomorrow morning. Dinner tonight will be what was planned for last night: steak with roasted potatoes and carrots.

@matratazola I'm so sorry to hear that news, I hope the tests don't show any spread and that the treatment plan is tolerable for him. Will be sending good vibes your way. Also, remember to try and take care of yourself too during this tough time.5

@CamandJarvis So sorry to hear about you and your bf's loss. Sending good vibes and thoughts your way.
For easy croc pot recipes: My husband regularly croc pots chicken thighs (he prefers them over white meat) in a small amount of chicken broth and then has the chicken with a variety of hot sauces in whole wheat wraps throughout the week. He'll also add a couple of leaves of whatever greens we have in the fridge to add a little bulk to the wrap.
I've also heard good things about "salsa chicken" where you dump a jar of your favorite salsa in the croc pot and add chicken breasts to it and you can make tacos bowls with it or wraps all week as well. You could throw in black beans/any other beans if your belly is ok with them and some other veggies too like peppers and onions. I hope that helps a little bit!8 -

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.

9/30- 216.8back on track this week after gaining all of my weight back. Time to make a lifestyle change vs temporary change. Seems I need to always track to keep myself accountable.
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 🤢
10/6- 213.8 - alright that’s better. I stayed with it yesterday vs getting frustrated and giving up

Any prayers or positive vibes welcome -- he has an 8 hour drive tomorrow and he said driving today was challenging due to being so emotional. I'm nervous but his dad is devastated and cannot handle all the coordinating for funeral, burial, etc while his brother is hospitalized with bronchitis, leaving it up to him to get it all done.
If y'all have healthy crockpot recipes, please let me know. With commuting to work, I won't have time to cook dinner so I'll be relying on the crockpot next week. I'll batch prepare lunches on Sunday which is easy enough. Thanks in advance, don't know what I'd do without all of you Much love
@camandjarvis - Oh how very sad. Prayers for you, your BF and brother losing their mom, and for his poor dad losing his wife. 5 -

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.
10/6 / 208.6 / Husband and I spent a beautiful 24 hours at a nordic spa in the mountains. Lots of steam rooms, hot and cold pools, and a beautiful dinner out. We just got our Peloton delivered yesterday too so we'll be getting into that. I am on the road tomorrow for a short trip to see my dad so it will be a very sedentary day. Switching my mindset to maintenance or below for the next while until I'm back home as I'll have less control of my choices than usual. While my round GW is likely out of the question now, I still have two days to make a bit of progress off my start weight!

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.
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 !!

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.

Trend goal for round 152.8
**********************************************
9/29 151.8 (trend 153.9) Starting this round with a drop is exciting but I don't think I'm going to change my goal weight, instead I think I'll track my trend weight this round too, to see if I learn anything from it. My trend weight drop last round was 3.2lbs, compared to the 2lbs change in scale weight I had. I spent most of yesterday at my mum's house restoring and refitting some skirting boards that were removed back last winter when her house got flooded. It was good to get it done so she can close that chapter and move on from it. Had a banana for breakfast and then nothing until 7pm as I was busy and didn't feel hungry so I ended up 200 under which might be why there's a drop today. Protein is concerning me, I'm thinking of changing my macros to reduce fat and raise protein, not sure if it'll work for me as I find fat really satiating but I'm worried about losing muscle and I don't want to reduce carbs any further as I get really lethargic when I go below 35%.
9/30 151.6 (trend 153.6) I went shopping for some new walking/trail running shoes yesterday, first time in clothes shops for about 18 months. I didn't find anything suitable so decided to browse for clothes, although I'm not really needing any as stuff I have that's been in storage is starting to fit me again. It was such a different experience to how I remember it in the past, I didn't cringe every time I saw my reflection and even tried on a few things and was surprised to find I'm down a jeans size and can fit medium size 12-14 jumpers without them clinging in all the wrong places! Went for an evening walk with hubby and a couple of drinks, gotta watch out, this is becoming a habit. Calories 100 over, binged a bit on cheese, ham and pickles and not enough veggies.
10/1 153.0 (trend 153.5) Biggest overnight gain that I've had in a while but I'm not surprised. I had cravings all day yesterday and felt really lethargic so didn't get any activity in. I started the day with eggs and a pear rather than my normal banana and rather than making me feel more satisfied it just triggered the munchies monster and nothing I ate would stop me from thinking about food. I wasn't even hungry, just wanted to snack snack snack. I was 200 cals over in the end so obviously not enough to cause a 1.4lb gain, but extra carbs and fibre are having lingering effects I guess. Feeling a bit disappointed with myself and worried that I might be subconsciously self sabotaging as I'm nearly at 30lbs lost and I had told myself when I get there I would start regularly visiting the gym, something I'm dreading. I must make sure I stay busy and stick to the plan today.
10/2 151.4 (trend 153.2) Steps 13,973 Well I decided that the best thing to do was not to wait until I hit 30lbs lost to start going to the gym in case it was leading to self sabotage, so straight after posting yesterday I chucked on my gym clothes and hot footed it down there before I had a chance to over think it and chicken out. First time I've been there in 2.5yrs and it was totally fine, I just walked on the treadmill for an hour at 3.8mph, I don't want to start any complicated fitness routine as my main focus is fat loss right now. Went out in the evening and calories were way over so I'm extra happy with the drop today.
10/3 153.0 (trend 153.2) I think this is going to be one of those bumpy rounds, time to stop staring at numbers and just trust the process.
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.
10/5 150.6 (trend 152.6) Didn't make it to the gym, couldn't get up early enough! I am aiming to build the habit of going first thing in the morning, leaving the house at 7am so I can be back for 8.30am. I'm very lucky that my gym is only a 5 minute walk away. I'm nearly at my first UGW of 150lbs but I think I'll wait until I am at a trend weight of 150 before I update my new UGW which I think will be 142.8, which represents being out of the overweight bmi category.
10/6 150.2 (trend 152.3) Steps 10,714 It was nice to go to the gym early yesterday, I was back before anyone else in the house was up so it didn't impact on the rest of my working day. In the evening however, after being very active all day, I was exhausted. Hubby finished his work at around 7pm and wanted us to go out to let off some steam but I really couldn't find the energy, so that was a bit of a let down, I guess compromises have to be made somewhere. Shared some Ben and Jerry's with my daughter as I was feeling shakey and low blood sugar, it was so good! High calorie day but thankfully it doesn't seem to have been a problem.
10/7 149.6 (trend 152.0) Had a busy morning working on the kitchen reno, can't wait to be done with all the cement dust! Ran out of energy by mid afternoon though so decided to listen to my body and take it easy for the rest of the day. Munched on protein and fast carbs to give me bit of a boost. It's great to finally be in the 140s especially since I've had ice cream two days in a row! Last time I was this light was Sept 2017, I have been looking back at pics from then and I looked pretty good, so that's really encouraging.

Day/Weight/Comment:
9/29 – 229.4 – Had a salty dinner but stayed under my calorie goal and worked out for 30 minutes. No alcohol.

10/1 – 228 – I went wayyy over my calorie goal yesterday and I didn’t exercise. No alcohol. I will try to have an extra healthy day today to make up for it.
10/2 – 227 – I did not have a healthy dinner but still stayed under my calorie goal. No exercise. No alcohol. Nervous about our anniversary dinner tonight and hoping I can make good choices while still enjoying myself. Fingers crossed!
10/3 – 228.4 - Weigh in after night out for 3 year anniversary – Well, my food choices at dinner last night were actually ok but I ruined it with too much wine! Another night out tonight unless the weather doesn’t get any better in which case I’ll stay in and eat healthy.
10/4 – 228 - Weigh in after night out to comedy club – Great night out meeting new people. I had some naughty treats but did fine overall. Still hoping to hit my round goal!

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
10/6 206.2 Root canal retreat day-yikes!
10/7 205.4 Ouch, dull pain, but happy to be in the 205 range

10/7 - 146.0 - I'm shocked I'm down at all, even 0.1lbs. Due to the craziness, we ended up making one of the frozen pizzas we keep on hand for dinner. I keep it around for times like last night, thankfully. BF was going to get up with me, but just told me he's sleeping in until 830 before he heads out which gives me time to feel "normal" this morning. No walking the pup today -- found out last night (after I walked the pup) there have been 2 pretty nasty crimes in my town. Town is tiny, only a mile and a half across it so anything "across town" is still really close to home. One was a potentially armed robbery while the guy was out walking his dog. In broad daylight. The other was a high speed chase fugitive who ended up on foot in my neighborhood. The last known sighting was my neighborhood until he was spotted and apprehended not too far from here several hours later. He was known to be armed and dangerous. With me being alone and next week being out of the house for 13-14 hours at a time, I'm going to be playing it extra cautious. Sorry pup, walks are out of the question with BF gone. I have my fitbit workouts and our rowing machine in the house to workout on if need be.
10/8
Previous Day's Comments9/29 - Not bad for an early weigh in. Don't expect it to stay so low, yesterday was a super low calorie day. I was banking calories from early in the day for our pizza night (we hadn't been to this place in months, since before the kid's summer break). But we ate late enough I decided only to have a couple slices so I didn't give myself heartburn going to bed so early for today's 330 wakeup. According to Fitbit, I was under my 500 cal deficit by 427 cals, wowza. I have myself some scrambled eggs with spinach, roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, and a couple mandarin oranges for lunch and a protein shake as a snack if I need it to hold me over for dinner. Unsure of dinner yet. Focusing on water for today.
9/30 - Another low-calorie day being at work. I ended up not being very hungry at all after lunch so much so I skipped my protein shake afternoon snack (win!). Dinner of spaghetti also filled me up on a much smaller portion. I have leftovers of yesterday's lunch though I may substitute something else for the eggs today, just not sure what yet. I have some sausage I'm going to make up with bell peppers I could use, I think. Finished 90 oz water, fasted until noon giving me abouuuuut 17 hours (I didn't pay attention to exactly when I finished dinner Tuesday night or last night so approximate times will have to work). Aiming for a minimum of 16 hour fasting, though will be a tad more challenging with a workout and being home near the kitchen.
10/1 - Not bad for being over calories, I'll very much take it! Especially since I thought I'd be seeing 146.x today. It may catch up to me in the next few days (Oktoberfest here in my little German town is this weekend. I've never been to an Oktoberfest before so I'm sure I'll splurge a tad). Just got back from getting coffee with FamWife on this dreary rainy morning. Did a 20 minute yoga session prior to coffee. Need to get in 10 more minutes of a workout today to hit my daily 30 minutes of activity goal. Tad behind on water, but nothing I can't catch up on with some focus. Have some leftover roasted sweet potato chunks to eat up which is what has been filling me up amazingly during my 2 super-low cal days (by low cal I mean between 1200-1300 compared to my normal 1500-1650 range I hang out in). I'll be filling up on that for lunch with protein of some sort. Not sure what yet, thankfully I've got time and that (splurge) chai latte filled me right on up for the morning. Needed a little warm something for this dreary day as a pick-me-up and chai or apple cider are my preferred fall flavors (all year round, too). Debating between Oktoberfest this evening or tomorrow (supposed to rain again tonight and all day tomorrow so it's a play it by "ear" (weather). Either way, that leaves dinner up in the air so need to behave the remainder of the day and bank some calories just in case.

10/4 - No hugs, it's expected. Oktoberfest was a blast, dinner was heavy and salty. We were up and moving fast early yesterday so I didn't get a chance to weigh in. Saturday I weighed but didn't have an opportunity to post. I'm commuting to work so up early. Have a pretty healthy lunch packed up with a protein shake for a snack if needed. Managed to get my water goals Saturday and Sunday so hoping to continue to the streak today. Honestly, between the walking and making sure I hit water is why I didn't hit the 150s again, thankfully. Quite happy with where I am. I have until Thursday to get back down. My birthday is Saturday (day 1 of next round) but I won't be back to weigh until Sunday. I'd love to be back to 144.x by then, but we shall see how this week goes. Will be doing my best to behave well.
10/5 - Coming back down, thankfully (: I was really pushing water to get back down quickly. Hopefully being home today won't be an issue with the kitchen right next to me hehe Starting next week I am commuting to work for 3 weeks and I'll have to figure out water and workout. The upside is that it will keep me from mindless snacking since I won't have access to anything but what I pack for lunch! BF was kind enough to offer cooking extra for dinner so I can have leftovers to take for lunch starting next week. Whew, one less thing to worry about. Dedicated workouts will have to be prioritized on my days off (hopefully I can manage that since I have a 5k on the 30th I need to train for!) Pushing more water today. Not sure what lunch or dinner will be. I have frozen steam bags of veggies to choose from and will just need to find a protein to go with it for lunch. I have a yoga session planned for a little later this morning and will try to take the pup on a walk today as well. Two more days to lose this Oktoberfest celebration weight....I can do it!
10/6 - Another drop of the Oktoberfest weight. I'm quite happy with that. I'm not super confident I'll hit 144.x by my birthday (Saturday) but I'll be happy if I can see 145.x tomorrow. Even better if it's lower 145.x, especially since I'll be without a scale for Friday and Saturday. I cannot promise I'll have the opportunity to post tomorrow, but I will do my best to hop on for that. Water has been fantastic, above 90oz for the last 3 days. Ended up fasting until noon on Monday and yesterday so hoping to continue that again today (both resulted in longer than 16 hours fasting, but I don't know how much longer). No ideas for lunch and dinner again, but have some options. Will take pup for a nice walk later once it gets light enough outside to see.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/29 - 231.0 Just one of those days that you want to climb back into bed. Yesterday was brutal between our office ordering Cheesecake Factory for lunch and then snacking because I was still hungry, combined with not working out enough... Then this morning I thought I had a good workout until I saw I actually did worse than the last time I did that ride. Weighed in 2 lbs higher than yesterday. Forgot my coffee at home. Fast forward to tomorrow please.
9/30 - 229.5 I'll take it. Still higher than the start of the round, but that's just how weight fluctuates. Set a 20 minute personal record on the Peloton this morning so pretty excited for that. Today I'll also close all 3 rings on my Apple Watch to complete a full month of closing all 3 rings! Honestly I don't know if I want to break this streak because I just enjoy pushing myself harder. We'll see if I take a day off...
10/1 - 233.0 I don't understand the number, I just type the number in. I didn't work out this morning but... I also don't think I even consumed 3.5 lbs of things yesterday. So... okay? Hopefully this weekend and next week are better than this week.
10/2 - 232.4
10/3 - 228.6
10/4 - 228.6 Staying mostly flat in this past week (bump aside) so not entirely sure what's going on but this is how things work. Not going to have steady declines the entire time. All I know is I've been working hard on the Peloton and eating right and everything else will fall into place. The Apple Watch October challenge for me is to close all 3 rings 27 days. In my mind, there's no reason to take off 4 random days so I guess I'm going for another full month of closing these rings. Got a light 425 calorie ride in this morning because I slept in... oops!
10/5 - 229.7 This is apparently one of those rounds where you do everything right and your body just doesn't cooperate. I'd expect a large drop one of these days soon. Just want to be below 224 in 21 days. Come on body!
10/6 - 229.5 It just doesn't matter what I do at this point, this is hanging on for dear life. Work out? 229. Don't work out? 229. Bathroom before? 229. No bathroom? 229. I'm trying to take a day off of any working out just to try to get some result tomorrow. This is a brutal round.
10/7 - 227.5 Well this is a little better at least. Likely not going to hit the round goal but I'll settle for getting close if I have to! My wife says it looks like I've lost more so that's what matters I guess lol. Set Personal Records for 20 minute and 30 minute rides on the Peloton within the last 14 hours, so I'm really happy with that!

For easy croc pot recipes: My husband regularly croc pots chicken thighs (he prefers them over white meat) in a small amount of chicken broth and then has the chicken with a variety of hot sauces in whole wheat wraps throughout the week. He'll also add a couple of leaves of whatever greens we have in the fridge to add a little bulk to the wrap.
I've also heard good things about "salsa chicken" where you dump a jar of your favorite salsa in the croc pot and add chicken breasts to it and you can make tacos bowls with it or wraps all week as well. You could throw in black beans/any other beans if your belly is ok with them and some other veggies too like peppers and onions. I hope that helps a little bit!
Oh, the salsa chicken sounds fantastic! I might make that up on Sunday for my lunches, thank you!!7 -
MFP -Round #2
(164)
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
10/05 - 182.4 yesterday was a 26K ride. The wind was strong with 51K gusts. So the whole ride was slower. But a lot of effort. Was nice.
10/06 - 183.4 well, yesterday was an emotionally down day. But I accomplished a few things. Went out to a park and practiced one hour balancing on the slack line, and attended a strength training class in the evening. Food was almost under control
10/07 - 181.8

Oops — big dinner and some ice cream. That’s ok. Breaks up the low-cal days. All good!

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.
10/06 — 182.4 (181.8) - 1802 (7-day ave 1487)
Gaaa. It’s so easy to backslide. I was doing fine until evening, then reverted to my old bad snackfest. I was very conscious of what I was doing but did it anyway. Stress and my ankle was hurting are my excuses. I don’t think the damage is as bad as it looks since I had lots of salt, but it’s not a habit I want to perpetuate, so I will work very hard today to get back on track.
10/07 — 181 (181.5) - 1007
That’s better.

@CamandJarvis I’m so sorry for BF and your loss. I don’t recall you mentioning that his mom was ill. Was this sudden? Sending prayers for you all. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏5
