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.
10/6: 163.1 - Ate a little heavier than normal, but still within calories and just about hit the macros as well. Good workout yesterday, although I couldn’t do all of the planks.
10/7: 162.3 - Did a lot of NEAT activities yesterday, mainly trying on lot of clothes - aka shopping my closet. Good workout plus eating delicious food and feeling full on 1200+ calories.
10/8: 162.3 - Happy to end the round below my target. Slow and steady…

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.
**Comments apply to previous day**
SW RND 164 117.5 AW 118.05
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.
10/6 118.5 AF Another high carb day but OMAD at about 2PM and didn’t snack. So stressed out about several things.
10/7 118.5 AF My friend Amy came and visited yesterday. I feel so much better. Went to sleep before 10 last night but got up a little after 4 with a nasty headache which is mostly gone now.
10/8 118.0 AF Met DD#2 and DSIL for dinner at Great Greek. OMAD was my always choice - 1/2 large Greek salad with gyro but I didn’t eat any pita.
See you all tomorrow in Round 165!

9/29/262/Starting the "Just give me 10 days" challenge! So excited!
9/30 idk
10/1 idk
10/2 idk
10/3 idk I will weigh in in the morning
I got my vaccine second dose yesterday (Astrazenica) and honestly in just trying to eat wholesome to prepare my body for the shot I think I ate a little too much… and I slacked off. I think a huge part of my problem is that when I slack off I get discouraged and forget to dust myself off and get back up again.
I will weigh in tomorrow however good or bad the numbers may be - dust it off and try again!
10/4 266.54 ~ so I gained weight. Right before starting this I did a 3 day diet: we see those don’t keep it off! It’s about lifestyle changes! Let’s get it!
10/5 - 264.33 I left the missing pounds right out on the road yesterday! Yay! Let’s get it!
10/6 - 262.79lbs - how I’m losing in 2 pound intervals?! I don’t know, I’m not starving myself and honestly I will not complain. Check out the weight at the top…. By the end of this challenge if I would have dropped one pound from the start weight I’ll be happy! Thank you all so much for your encouragement… I could cry. Oh and I’m pmsing but my hope is still to finish very strong. I’m trying to break out of the 260s so bad! Let’s goooooo!
10/7 - 262.79, I can dig it! I’ll see if I can break start weight for tomorrow!
10/8 - 262.79, period is here. Lots of pain and of course some bloating but honestly I’m happy with the results of this round. I started at 262 because I had lost 7 pounds in 3 days on a fat diet… In under 5 days I had gained most of it back. Through these ten days through the vaccine, period and everything in between i steadily took back off the fad weight but this time with hard work and clean eating.
I’m happy and excited for round 165!
Don’t underestimate me - my story will be one of an over comer. Round lost. + .79lbs. My story doesn’t end here
See you all tomorrow in Round 165!

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!
10/7 / 207 / Boom - this feels great. Yesterday's decision making was solid. We are in the car for 11 hours today so I made an effort to get myself out for exercise before we left and will ensure I stretch and walk as much as I can during every stop.
10/8 / 204.8 / Holy crap! I didn't think there was any chance I'd hit my target for this round after the last few days, but I did it! Made great choices yesterday on the road and made sure to get my exercise before we left.
Great first round - 3.6 pounds gone! See you for the next round.9 -

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.

9/29- 217.4
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
10/7- 213- I had a great day yesterday! Hoping I can carry that through the weekend
10/8- 212.8 - happy I didn’t gain since I went out and indulged a bit too much but I worked out extra knowing that might happen earlier in the day.

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.
10/7 118.2 Well hello there, TOM. Dinner went well last night and I went for a 3 mile run this morning that felt great! Today started with ginger and fennel tea and breakfast was typical. I’m not sure what lunch will be but dinner I think will be drumsticks and sides are to be determined too.
10/8 Busy day. Ended up getting Chipotle after going for a walk yesterday after work. I’m pretty sure the calories were fine it’s just so salty. I was still 118.2 this morning, so not terrible. Breakfast and snack were good. Dinner tonight was Bi Bam Bap from our favorite Thai/Japanese/Korean restaurant. Again, calories not sure what they were but it’s mostly beef, vegetables and brown rice but salty. So, I’m sure I’ll be fighting the salt/water retention for a day or two. I did a 4 mile run this morning which felt great! And then a 2ish mile walk after work today. See you all in the next round tomorrow!

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.

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.
10/6 154
10/7 154.8
10/8 154.8
My goal was to end this round below 155.6, so Yay! Less than a pound lost from EW of last round... but at least it wasn't a gain.
Congrats to all who lost and/or maintained!!!
