Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 165

@starrjulia8 I asked my DD#2 who has a degree in early childhood and family development, how she handled her own situation. She and her 4 month old daughter escaped the abuser. He has had no contact with DGD and only phone contact with our DD for many years now.. I have *()edited to eliminate names but the following is her response regarding what you have told the children.
“I think that’s a good answer.
By the time she (her DD) was four, I think she knew that *(daddy) had bad intentions so we had to stay away from him so we would be safe.
Later, when he went to prison, she didn’t know. She found out by searching him online! 😳 Her sweet heart was worried that *(her oldest half sister) would be upset when she found out.”3 -
Does anyone make curry? How to I make it healthier (I'm thinking of making that for a couple lunches next week. I do love it and been craving it for awhile, especially with it getting a tad chillier out)
Also on the menu a lightly sauced tofu stir fry! That I've got down, just not curry (will be my first attempt at making it myself)2 -

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.

I love curries! Of course mine are vegan. Load 'er up with veggies (I find cauliflower to be particularly awesome, but I always add a variety of veg) and cut way way down on the oil they say to add - you don't need it and spice that baby up! Hope it turns out great.7 -

Had a wonderful BBQ yesterday which was very nice. My first one in 2 years!! I was proud of myself. I had a premier protein shake that morning late around 11:00 am and enjoyed myself in moderation and managed not to gain weight.
10/11 386.4
Monday is my official weigh-in day. I lost 4.4 lbs. since last Monday.
I am going to keep that as my weigh-in day in case I go back to WW. Yesterday was ok, maybe I gained from Saturday, and I did have some high sodium, but I was not over calories, so I am good. Going to get in a workout today. Hope all is well. Stay safe Everyone.
10/12 386.4
Yesterday was ok. I did not have a chance to work out. Not feeling it at all this week for the workouts. I will try to push myself. I am not even getting my step goal in so far 0/2. Good night
10/13 385.0
Happy with loss finally! So busy today but I am at least going to shoot for getting in my step goal today which is 5500 and do at least one 10 min spurt of something. (Bad knees but I modify and move forward)
10/14 385.0
Yesterday was crazy busy! Multi-tasking all day long lol but I made it without over-eating. Stuck to my computer though. Had so much to do at work. I work remotely most days now which is the result of pandemic. I went to Costco this morning to get in some steps before work and do some shopping. I will get in my steps today for sure. Already over 4500 steps… I did this also because I eat out once a week and chose today to go to Chipotle which is very high in sodium. I will still be under calories but may not see any movement tomorrow again on scale which is fine. I am drinking water and moving more today. So, we will see. Tomorrow morning I plan to get up early and wash my car if weather permits to get in some activity. Thanks for posts and support! I am enjoying the challenge. I have had time to read some of post since I have been posting and click "reactions" so that is something. Hope all is well. Please be well and stay safe.
10/15 387.8 – 5558 steps day before
10/16 386.0 – 6047 steps yesterday
Happy to have gotten in my steps 2 days in a row. Yesterday I went to the grocery store and did not buy any sweets. I needed fruit. I only had one apple left. I did not drink enough water Thursday. I will drink my quota today and did great yesterday with water. I need to get my steps in again today if I want to get close to 382 goal by Monday. Have a great weekend everyone!!

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us. 
*One of my major goals is to get my BMI under 40 (260 weight) so I can have surgery on my knees *[color]

Round 165 (97th for me). I need this to help keep me on track.
@QuiltingJaine-thank you for setting up the new round.
Challenge for this round is to stay on track – I've been very lax over the last few days – any loss will be a win!
Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” sometime 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
10/9 136.4 – 9.1 miles walked yesterday, not too bad a day food wise.
10/10 137.4 – 13.12 miles walked yesterday, good food day, guessing up bounce is still results of bad choices a few days ago. Hope that is the peak!
10/11 137 – no structured walking as travelled up 90 miles to celebrate DS's birthday, involved pizza, chicken legs, potato wedges, birthday cake etc. but no evening meal as we were not hungry after the return journey home!
10/12 137 – 9.53 miles walked yesterday, some unwise food choices means that I was 12 calories over, but could have been worse!
10/13 136.2 – 9.8 miles walked yesterday, then went to help DS in the house she has just bought; scraped 3 layers of wallpaper off the bedroom walls. Very good choices all day, but need to be consistent, really hoping I've turned the corner in getting back unto control.
10/14 136.2 – 11.79 miles walked yesterday, very good food choices, all calories & macros in limits.
10/15 136.2 – 5.52 miles walked yesterday pushing my 20 month old DGS in his buggy, 3.5 hours sitting in the car travelling up to do the caring. A few unwise choices 85 calories over.
10/16 137 – 10.50 miles walked yesterday then went out dancing last night, 2 hours solid on the floor. Came back and after a shower had a couple of late night snacks which meant that although still within calories was over on carbs. 2 days to make a difference.
10/17 135.8 – 13.11 miles walked yesterday, what a gorgeous autumnal day, sat for 45 mins after our picnic half way and soaked up the warm sunshine; totally unexpected !! Calories and all macros in credit.

**********************************************
10/9 149.0 (trend 151.4) Went out last night to a lovely new bar and grill in our little town, it uses all local ingredients and has lots of healthy options, I'm looking forward to eating there one day soon. Had a few too many drinks so woke up feeling really dehydrated which is probably why I had a loss as I was defo over calories.
10/10 150.8 (trend 151.3) Had a bit of a refeed day yesterday and didn't track calories too accurately. Enjoyed some good comfort food and lots of fruit and salad. Definitely holding onto water today but feeling a lot stronger after getting a bit weak and wibbly on low cals last week.
10/11 151.8 (151.4) Urgh, even the trend weight has gone up now. I have to remind myself that I may have over indulged this weekend but only by about 1000 above my calorie goal over the 3 days and should still be below maintenance. This is just water and tmi, surely. A few days of drinking lots of water and careful eating and I should be back on track, fingers crossed. Totm is due in a week so that's likely having an influence, gonna have to grit my teeth and stay the course.
10/12 152.2 (trend 151.5) Well. I seem to be responding to my weight shooting up by eating more and losing all self restraint. I don't want to go any further with this self sabotage but for some reason I can't stop it. I NEED to get my drive back before all my hard work unravels. Went out for a family meal last night as my daughter has been asking for ages, it's so hard to find healthy choices in some places. I didn't want a plain salad with chicken breast so the next best thing was a veggy lasagne with salad but there was sooo much cheese on it. Told myself I'd leave the garlic bread but I didn't. Then when I got home I got the munchies and ate crackers and cereal bars. Think I need to do a reset to get rid of these cravings.
10/13 150.2 (trend 151.3) Phew, ok! Totm came today so I can stop being so bloody emotional and get a grip! I am NOT destined to be fat forever, I AM in control of this, I CAN achieve my goals! Didn't do much better with self control yesterday but today is a new day and I feel much more focused and determined, no more wallowing!
10/14 149.6 (trend 151.1) Still dropping, good! Same weight as last Thursday but trend weight is almost 1lb lower, so that's progress! Had really bad cramps yesterday and all night, which isn't normal for me. Spent much of the evening on the sofa hurting, thankfully my cat Leesa was laid on my belly purring which really helped, bless her! I wonder if I'll get a loss this round, need to get below 149.0 for that. Food wasn't too bad, within calories but not very in control. I was craving eggs so had veggies with mayo for lunch and scrambled eggs for dinner.
10/15 148.8 (trend 150.8) Yay, a new low today! I'm surprised as I was over calories yesterday, I guess I must have dropped a load of water weight. I finished ripping out the old kitchen and now have no stove or kitchen sink so meals are gonna be a bit tricky for a while. I'll get the camping stove out but camping gas is expensive so I'll try not to use it much. Need to try my best to stay on plan this weekend and not be tempted by takeaways.
10/16 149.2 (trend 150.5) Low energy day yesterday, didn't sleep well the night before so had to rest a lot. Did well with food until the evening when my daughter handed me a big bowl of mashed potato and gravy which I scoffed, ah well it was lush! I might just break even this round. Slept for about 10hrs last night so today should be better. Have to make sure I drink lots of water today.
10/17 148.8 (trend 150.3) Not sure I believe this weight today, my scale didn't want to make its mind up and as I went out last night for a meal and drinks I was really expecting an uptick. I'll take it though and try not to be disappointed tomorrow when it bounces back up!

Also on the menu a lightly sauced tofu stir fry! That I've got down, just not curry (will be my first attempt at making it myself)
I do make curry. I don't worry so much about trying to make it healthier, other than maybe subbing a lighter milk for any full fat it calls for. Otherwise I just eat it in small portions. I love my curry, and really don't want to mess with it. I am afraid it will change the flavor. I am ok with having "real" foods that I love and haven't messed with, just in smaller portions and less often.

Challenge Start Weight: 73.4
10 day Goal Weight: 72kg
Ultimate Goal Weight: 53kg
Goals for this challenge period are to get 10000 steps in every day and workout 6 times a week.
9 73.3 Met all of my goals again yesterday. Unfortunately, I didn't get my workout in. I am finding it very hard to find the motivation to do it. I need to find a time in the day that works for me.
10 73.9 This was a bit expected. Did some late snacking on popcorn due to being up and out later than expected. Ended up eating some of my exercise calories back due to unexpected events happening during the day and having to make te best choices I could on the fly. Considering I didn't track my food until I got home around 10pm, I think I did alright for the day. I did get a nice long hike in yesterday, so definitely met my step goal.
11 73.3 Back to where it should be. Probably would have been lower, but I made the mistake of eating a slice of Sbarro pizza without looking up the calories first. My lunch ended up being 1000 calories, which is basically all of my days calories!! Luckily, I had only a small, light breakfast, and then only had some salad for dinner with a tzatziki dressing. Managed to com in just a bit over my allowed calories for the day, but made up for the overage with 177000 steps, and some cleaning and a bit of core work. I will not eat anything again (at least anything like that) with out logging it first!
12 72.7 I actually jogged for the first time in years yesterday! It was amazing. C25K day 1 complete
13 72.7 Had some late night popcorn at a friends house while watching a movie. A huge NSV for me though. I measured out 175ml of white wine and used it to make myself 4 spritzers mixing it with bubbly water with a bit of all natural flavoring. Delicious with the added benefits of limited calories and no hangover the next day!
14 73.1
15 73.0 late night snacking has gotten me the last 2 nights. I have also not been managin to get my workout in due to some outside influences. I need to work on getting my workout down first thing in the day so that nothing can stop me from it in.
16 73.1 another case of late night snacking. I am thinking I need to go to my room early and not allow myself out after a certain time. Or come up with some way to stay out of the kitchen after dinner. Didn't get all of my steps in yesterday, but I did manage a 1km swim and did it 4 minutes faster than last time!
17 72.5 Was not expecting this today. Thought I would be up after several days of losing to the snack monster. Fingers crossed that it stays this way and I don't see a jump up in a few days. On a good note, I started Core De Force again yesterday. I had forgotten how much I love that program, even if it kicks my butt!

10/9 - 220.4 (-1.2) What a fabulous way to start. I drank all my water and stayed under calories. This morning was Orange Theory Fitness and tomorrow is hiking. I’m almost in the teens!!
10/10 - 221.0 (-.6) Stayed within calories and drank enough water. Just a slight bump. Hoping for a loss tomorrow. Can’t wait for fall hiking today.
10/11 - 220.6 (-1.0) It was a beautiful crisp day for a hike yesterday and we did 6 miles with 1,000 ft. of elevation gain. I ate back about 60% my exercise calories. Today is no organized exercise, just lots of errands and moving around.
10/12 - 220.6 (-1.0) It’s funny how my mind plays tricks. I was so disappointed not to have lost overnight, despite staying within calories. But what I love about this challenge, is that it looks in terms of ten day cycles. We are only four days in and I’ve already lost a pound. I think I’m just really eager to get into the teens. Staying the course.
10/13 - 220.6 (-1.0) When the whoosh comes, I’m hoping it’s a good one. Swimming was wonderful yesterday. Today I’m working at a local frame shop for a friend, so no organized exercise.
10/14 219.2 (-2.4) There it is! I’m in the teens.
10/15 219.6 (-2.0) Yesterday was swimming. I had my indulgence meal so I’m expecting another bump over the next few days.
10/16 220.0 (-1.6) Oooh! A full on binge yesterday evening. That has only happened a couple times in the last four months. No hugs necessary. I knew what I was doing and still chose to do it. Time to get really focused. I’m hoping tomorrow’s bump isn’t too bad.
10/17 219.8 (-1.8) A bit relieved to see the drop. I worked out at Orange Theory Fitness yesterday and a hike is on the agenda today. I can’t believe we are almost done with this ten day challenge. We are doing it, sometimes ounces at a time!

Let’s do this!
Round 5 for me.
161 SW: 222.2
EW: 221.6
162 EW: 218.6
163 EW: 211.8
164 EW: 211.6
Round 165 goals: Pelo 3x/week; strength training 3x/week; 11,500 steps/day; <75 net carbs/day; lose as much weight as I can!
Looks like this round ends on the day I go to my doc for a follow up on the weight loss progress. On 8/15 when I saw her, she suggested MFP after my spending a few years-time both before and after pregnancy- stalled out around 230-240 despite my best efforts with IF. She gave me a goal of a 5% loss between then and this next follow up. Well, I’m currently at 13.6% lost. I’m looking forward to her reaction, I won’t lie! 😁
SW: 211.6
10/9 211.8 I can’t say I’m surprised by this tiny uptick, only surprised that it isn’t more! I spent almost the entire day on my feet yesterday- and usually when I spend time on my feet in the kitchen, I get some fluid retention. It used to be multiple pounds at a time, not just this tiny 0.2. So I’ll take it! I did pretty good yesterday. Food was on point, but I didn’t get all of my steps in. I was so exhausted from the past couple of days that I just couldn’t motivate myself to do anything other than crash once I finally finished in the kitchen last night. Today I’ll hit it though!
10/10 212.4 I guess the fluid retention from spending the past couple of days mostly on my feet waited till today to show up. I had a great day yesterday- 45 net carbs and hit my step goal. But alas, I was on my feet in the kitchen decorating a cake for about 4 hours. Oh well, at least I have an explanation for it!
10/11 211.4 There we go! Great day yesterday, even with a family dinner with out-of-town family that involved spaghetti and dessert. I took my own spaghetti squash along to eat in place of the regular pasta, and only had very small portions of dessert. Did go over my carb goal-88 net total all day- but came home, got my steps in, and got myself on the Pelo for 45 minutes! I’ve been feeling a little slacking on the weight loss lately, so today I’m recommitting to myself. I’m ready to rock this week!
10/12 210.8 I’m getting so close! I just want to see 209.8 by Monday! 35 net carbs yesterday, step goal achieved, and strength training done. Now to slay today!
10/13 211.4 I’m not sure what happened here. I’m beginning to wonder if I’m cutting my carbs too low. Finished the day at 51 net carbs, pelo ride done, and step goal achieved. I think I’m going to aim for the higher end of my carb goal for the next few days and see what happens. 209 is playing hard to get!
10/14 211.6 it’s the stress, I’m sure. I’ve had a very stressful week. I stuck to my food plan- finished yesterday with 73 net carbs. I fell about 1,500 steps short on my step goal, and postponed strength training till today because of everything going on. Back on track today!
10/15 210.4 Down finally, after a much less stressful day yesterday! I changed things up and ended the day at 105 net carbs. I hit my step goal, and also rode the Pelo. I changed my routine on that too, so maybe that helped a bit too. Who knows? Our bodies are mysterious creatures at times! I’m heading into this camping weekend with a plan, and I’m determined to still see 209 before that decimal come Monday morning. I got this!
10/16 🏕 DNW Had a great day yesterday. Hit my step goal and finished the day with 71 net carbs. Only issue is that I didn’t get in the strength training session I had planned because I just got too busy with getting things ready to go camping. I want to make it up, but I’m not going to fret if I don’t get to. I do want to change my strength routine up, but I gotta figure out how so. I want to do heavier lifting than I’ve been doing.
10/17 🏕 DNW Had a really good day yesterday. Stuck to my food plan and finished with 63 net carbs, and got my steps in even though the weather was cold and rainy for a good part of the day. I won’t lie, I’m excited to see where I land tomorrow!

Day/Running Ave/Comment
10/09 - 181.6
Too much and too salty — pizza! Leftovers today, but I’ll try to watch everything else. I’ve decided to record just my running average weight for a while — it’s a more consistent record of where I am. Happy Saturday!
10/10 - 181.2
Well, that was a surprise! Weighed in at 180.2 this morning, so weight and running average both the lowest they’ve been in well over a year. I figured I’d be up with higher calories, but I was just plain hungry yesterday, so I ate. Another reminder of the weird vicissitudes of weight management.
10/11 - 181
Weight stayed the same, average trending down, despite higher calories the past 3 days. I won’t count on that, but it confirms that it’s good sometimes to break from the very low count. Anyway, aiming lower (~1200) the next few days. I’ve been in the 180s since Jan 2020 (up from 130 in Sept 2018–horrifying!) and I’d really like to get out of the 80s to feel I’m really on my way back down.
10/12 - 180.6
Closer and closer.
10/13 - 180.4
Still weighing in at 180.2, but it’s lowering my running average and I know I due for a drop as my calories have been low the past two days. I’m off to one of my favorite parks for a walk with the puppy in a few minutes. It’s a beautiful day. Wishing you the same!
10/14 - 180.1
So close! Weighed in at 180 this morning with average close behind. I’m feeling much more in control, with lower calories without feeling hungry. Pup Rory and I had a lovely 2+ mile walk yesterday, which is about his limit for now, especially with the warm weather we’re (still) having. Off for another in a few minutes. Have a lovely!
10/15 - 180
The scale is a tease! But I’m hoping to leave the 180s by the end of this round. Rainy day, but I’m hoping to sneak in a walk between showers. Happy Friday!
10/16 - 180.2
A bit of nocturnal backsliding last night. Onward!
10/17 - 180
Weight this morning 179.8!!! Yay! I was actually afraid to get on the scale because I’ve had two days in a row over 1700 calories, though my 7-day average is still under my 1400 goal. So there you are, the weirdness of weight loss. I’m mildly hopeful that my running average might drop below 180 tomorrow. Yay! Enjoy your day!

Previous days10/9 Not sure what my weight was because I didn’t have my glasses on, so it was fuzzy…I think it might have said 120 which is an OH NO number. WAY too much salt this week for me. I managed to walk the lake with my friend this morning which is like 3 miles then we hit the farmer’s market afterwards where I was able to resist buying anything. I decided last night that I need to start having “take out” food alternatives for myself in the freezer for when my husband wants takeout and I don’t want to cook for myself. I’ve worked so hard the past almost two years to let it slip now. So at least I can control the number of calories I’m eating that way versus the unknown with the takeout. I was even able to unintentionally fast until at least 1 today because I didn’t eat before my walk and didn’t get anything at the market. Then afterwards I had to return something to the camping store… where I proceeded to browse and buy myself a new day pack, some cool weather running shirts, a pair of cold weather leggings, and compression socks (going to try them for during the day while I use my standing desk). I got the compression socks because in the mornings my legs a little tired after I run but I still want to use the standing desk, so I’m going to see if the compression socks help at all with feeling like I just want to elevate my legs. I’m not sure they’ll help but it’s worth a shot.10/15 Did not post
10/10 118.2 Dropped some water weight which is good. I would still like to get back to 115/116 over the next month or so to be in more of my happy place. I thought I hit the post button last night but I guess I forgot. Ooops! Not sure what’s on the agenda for today but looking forward to eating some healthy food. I made a frittata yesterday with leeks, tomatoes, and cheddar cheese. So that’ll definitely be part of my first meal today along with a protein shake. I’m going to attempt some sort of meal planning today as well even though I don’t know what produce I’ll be getting with our CSA tomorrow. At least I can plan the protein portion of our meals.
10/11 117.6 pre-workout 116.2 post work out this morning. Goodbye water retention! I have the day off today, so I went for a run and ended up doing 5 miles and then did my strength workout afterward. I did the strength workout after because with my day off, I knew I wouldn’t want to do the workout in the middle of that day like I do when I’m working. I also made some major strength gains in my chin ups, so that was a really good feeling. The last time I did chin ups I was doing 3 sets of 4-6. This morning I was able to do 8 for my first set and then 6 and 4. So, that was an awesome non scale victory.
Breakfast so far has been a protein shake with Designer Whey vanilla blended with a pear, peanut butter, inulin to keep my belly happy, cinnamon, and water clocking in at 489 calories. So yummy! Lunch will be an egg salad sandwich and dinner will be soup with broth that has been cooking in the croc pot over night with chicken bones from our meat csa.
Happy Monday all!
10/12 117.4 pre-workout 116 post workout. Did a 45 minute spin bike ride this morning. This morning for breakfast I made a protein smoothie with vanilla whey powder, kale, a pear, inulin, cinnamon and peanut butter. I’m not sure what lunch will be but dinner will be leftover homemade veggie soup.
10/13 117.2 Woke up hungry last night around 3 in the morning. I haven’t been wearing my running watch because I left it at my cousins house a few weeks ago and I don’t think I’m calculating my calories well without it. I ran 4 ish miles this morning and then did my strength workout. During the strength workout I was definitely tired and noticed it in the amount of reps I was doing felt like a lot even though it was my normal routine. So I’m going to try and eat a little bit more today to see if it helps.
I did the strength workout this morning because I’ll be getting my flu shot today and didn’t want to deal with a sore arm while working out. Breakfast was my shake clocking in at 450ish calories along with some Lion’s Mane and Turkey Tail mushroom powder. I started adding the mushroom powders to my shake because I forgot we had them in the cabinet and want to see if the Lion’s Mane helps with my focus during work. Medicinal mushrooms are super interesting to me, so we’ll see if I notice anything.
Have a good day!
10/14 DNW today. Ran about 4 miles this morning. We had Chipotle for dinner last night, I was within calories but it’s so salty. I woke up with my hands feeling stiff because of all the salt/water retention, I think. Planning to make pulled pork or carnitas for dinner tonight, I haven’t decided which yet.
10/16 Did not post
10/17 Did not weigh this morning because I know I’m retaining water from sodium. Ran on both Friday and Saturday. Today is a total rest day for me. Food was meh yesterday but today will be more on point. I’m also going to be drinking a lot of water because I was lacking water yesterday.

10/10 117.0 AF Spent 5 hours in quilt guild meetings yesterday, I was exhausted and hungry when I got home. Ate some leftover pork roast and 5 nickel sized keto cookies.
10/11 117.5 AF
10/12 117.5 AF GREEK salad w/gyro meat last night
10/13 117.0 H/A at 4AM couldn’t go back to sleep, got up at 5:45, H/A gone at 6:20. Spent yesterday evening cutting things for teacher daughter - that may have aggravated neck arthritis.
10/14 117.5 Quilt guild meeting tonight.
10/15 118.0 AF Going to the Renaissance fair today. Lots of walking!
10/16 119.5 AF It’s all good. RenFair food doesn’t give the best choices. A *kitten* load of carbs, more than 200% of my step goal. A decent amount of water. I’m sure this will be down in a few days. No TMI x 3
10/17 119.0 Coming down but going to visit BFF and her SO today. They are making lunch which I’m sure will not be low carb. I have mixed feelings about getting together for many reasons.9 -

Day/Weight/Comment
10/9 / 204.4 / Did well with my first day at my dad's yesterday. I love being with people who you feel safe with (meaning he is completely supportive and doesn't judge my choices or try to food push). A bit harder to get my normal exercise in here but that's okay - just scaling back the food accordingly. Happy to see this lower weight wasn't just a fluke yesterday!
10/10 / 206.4 / My dad's town has two take-out options and the favorite when we're here is always Chinese. I tried to order as best I could and eat reasonably but you can't stay away from the sodium gain afterwards. We are going to Thanksgiving dinner 1 of 2 today.
10/11 / 206 / Had good control during Thanksgiving dinner #1 yesterday. One more to get through today and then I'm back on the road tomorrow heading for home. A bit out of my exercise routine while traveling which is fine but it will feel good to get back to it.
10/12 / 205.6 / Got through Thanksgiving dinner #2... enjoyed the yummy food without overdoing it 11 hour drive home today, will hit the Peloton bike when we get home.
10/13 / 204.6 / Back home and I started the day with a ton of exercise.. back to work Friday so taking advantage of these last couple of days to move my body as much as I can.
10/14 / 205 / Went for a nice long walk to my eye doctor yesterday, rode the Peloton, and ate all my meals at home. Great to be back home. There's still time to meet my GW for this round!
10/15 / 207.4 / Had an amazing hike for our last day off yesterday. Back to work today.. woke up at 230 am and couldn't get back to sleep so after tossing and turning I got up, weighed in and got to work on the bike and with some yoga. Given I'm off schedule this weird weight fluctuation likely makes sense. Will have a good day ahead! Happy Friday
10/16 / 205.4 / First day back to work yesterday. I managed to get through the day despite the poor night of sleep. Couple more days to make some progress for this round!
10/17 / 207 / Not the progress I meant lol. Had a great day yesterday, well over 11K steps plus yoga, food was within calories. Sodium was likely high. Unfortunately unless I have a big whoosh I'll be gaining this round, but I'll just keep on working the plan!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/08 …..185.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
10/09 …..184.0 ….. Wow! Is this ever a crazy wild ride! Up & Down without changing much. TMI helps. Watching sodium a bit more. I am monitoring which foods affect me in a negative way-also the one’s that help the most. Tough to do with so many physical variables but It’s time I get to know me on a more personal level. Good luck everyone as we all find our way. Thank you @quiltingjane for continuing this challenge.
10/10 …..185.4 ….. After a late night yogurt that I didn’t plan for, I was over by about 100 calories. My daughter and DGS moved back in late last night after a fight at home. This time she even brought some furniture so it looks serious. She brought Chinese food which we split. Maybe water retention today too?
10/11 …..185.6 ….. (trend weight 188.1) My daughter brought in over $150.00 worth of Halloween Candy she had at home. OMGosh. I’m in trouble! Doing my best but my willpower is not the greatest. It’s like me being in a restaurant where I actually have to practice restraint, and we all know I haven’t mastered that skill yet. Oh Boy! She bought the candy for a costume Halloween party she was going to have which is now cancelled due to her current circumstances. I will try hard to do good today.
10/12 …..185.6 ….. (trend weight 187.9)Travel today. I was hoping to see a bit of a drop today since yesterday was a very good day with diet and exercise too. Especially before a day of travel and an expected bump-up tomorrow. Oh well, trusting the process. I’m glad to be tracking my trending weight again now that it’s level off to where it was. A small drop this morning was appreciated.
10/13 …..187.0 ….. (trend weight 187.8) The expected uptick after travel. Lunch was out-of-town, dinner at home was very late as I wasn’t hungry for a long time. I hope to have a good day today. My stress levels are way up. Lots of disciplinary problems with the grandson age 3. His whole life has been uprooted so I understand his frustration. However, the kicking, screaming and writhing on the floor is trying. He’s a big boy and even the two of us together cannot get him standing to dress him after bath, before he leaves, etc. I am promising myself I won’t stress eat. Dinner tonight? I dunno yet. How do I feed my diet, her hunger after work, DGS taste and what she only allows him (strict on his dyes, sugars, etc) and my son’s Autistic eating disorder where he wants all white food (usually carb laden). My house will be full again today with the reno and the one handyman’s family sitting in my kitchen all day. 7 people expected total to come in today to work. Some will arrive shortly and be here until about 9:00 or 9:30 pm. Several more will work the evening shift only and will leave by 8:30 pm. All will be here during the traditional dinner hour. I’d pull my hair out but it’s already falling out again on it’s own. Enough of a rant….sorry for that…..gonna go step on a few more small, very hard plastic and 3 dimensional transformer robots.
10/14 …..186.2 ….. (trend weight 187.6) I am down 0.8 today but still above my start weight so I have some work to do. Ugh, my daughter! I love her sweet soul to death but she made a pumpkin cheesecake from scratch last night for tonight’s dessert. I will have a piece but I’m going to work hard today to keep calories in check to allow for that extravagance. That I can do. The weakness is to not go back at 2:00 in the morning for a 2nd piece. Working on it already in my head, I promise! Hair appointment today. Being stuck in a chair to blend the grey’s will help tie up my afternoon. Someone is coming over to watch my workers so they can continue. I feel like good progress is finally being made in the reno.
10/15 …..185.6 ….. (trend weight 187. 2) Nice to see a drop. Travel today . Here comes the yo-yo.
10/16 …..185.8 ….. (trend weight 187.3) Pleasantly surprised after a day of travel. I’ll have to see what transpires over the next couple of days. As we all knows, just when it’s safe to go into the water…… Very low steps and movement yesterday. I planned for water so it was pretty good. Staying hopeful. I have two more days to lose 0.3 or more to make goal. I can do this!
10/17 …..186.2 ….. (trend weight 187.2)There is the creep up from the travel the other day. Also no TMI x2. I had a good day yesterday in both steps, movement and on the dietary front. It certainly does go up and down in patterns that is not always the very next day. One more day to see a better difference.
10/18 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)

10/17 - 147.3 - Feeling even better today, which I didn't think could happen. Just finished cooking for the week since BF won't be home until late Tuesday (funeral moved to Monday). I have curry for 2 lunches, tofu stir fry for the other 2 lunches. I made salmon with mashed potatoes and veggies for dinners Monday and Tuesday. Asparagus one night, broccoli the other. I'll have enough leftover Tuesday night for BF if he wants it. I also roasted 2 sweet potatoes but I'm not sure I'll fit them in Monday or Tuesday. I suppose I'll have one for Wednesday or Thursday night and I'll eat one tonight. I have some carrots leftover from the curry and need to find a protein tonight. Almost out of water in my 2nd 5gal jug so I'll need to refill the empty to last BF and I for the week. Other than that errand, I'll be watching football and folding laundry for the week once its done drying. Multitasking at its best! Cooking 4 meals and doing laundry all at once. Busy busy morning but glad to get it all over with so I can relax before a week of manual labor at work. Hopefully that manual labor will help me drop off these last few pounds I've gained this past week. Once again, I'll attempt to post in mornings but if not, I'll be back Friday. I'll still weigh, though.
10/18
Previous Day's Comments10/9 - Better control yesterday but it'll take a couple good days for the damage to show and then drop off. Went hunting this morning and got out in nature like I wanted (if I couldn't camp, that is) which included more than 30 minutes of walking, meeting my activity goal. Fam is taking me to dinner later, I requested German food so I have to be careful to not snack. I have dinner for Monday and Tuesday in the crockpot right now. Tomorrow morning before football, I'll prep things for crockpot dinner to cook Wednesday and cook up lunches for the full week. I've already gone grocery shopping for healthy options and being at work with no access to other foods besides what I bring, it'll force me to eat right.
10/10 - No hugs, its expected. Hormones, the delay of the scale for my couple days of emotional eating, a heavy birthday dinner (sodium) and couple of beers. Surprised I'm not up more. Plus, TOM came for another visit (typical when I switch my meds - Doc knows and we are monitoring, all good there) which causes bloat and weight gain. Finished cooking for this week - Monday/Wednesday I have a cajun skillet (rice, sausage, bell pepper) for lunch and a heavier potato corn chowder for dinner. For Tuesday/Thursday I have a heavier ranch chicken penne pasta for lunch and lighter crock pot salsa chicken fajitas. Grapes and clementines with a collagen micro-dose protein for a "dessert" or morning snack if need be. All of those are already input and tracked for the week. I'm under between 200-300 calories, but that saves room for my protein shake I'll have on hand should I need an extra boost. I'll be physically working in the plant all day for 4 days straight so I gave myself wiggle room to squeeze in the shake to keep me going. Good thing about being at work is that I only have access to whatever food I bring so I can't get off track. Add in being physically active all day, I hope this is what I need to drop this weekend gain and break through this plateau. Now the real challenge will be sleep and making sure I get enough water all day since I'll be moving around and away from my water cup a lot. Luckily, the plants have a fridges stocked with waters and gatorades throughout the site for us. I'll just have to keep that in mind and make sure I grab one frequently. I will also be working on my wake-up/sleep schedule and may or may not be able to post daily. I will do my best to pop in but I will be weighing daily no matter what. Worst case, I'll be back Friday!
10/11 - Should be the peak of the weekend gain and only down from here. Turns out, kiddos thought we had candles and cake without them when we went for my dinner so last night we had a mini celebration for me with cake and homemade almond milk ice cream (so I could indulge a tad). Kept it to a minimum and moved on. Lunch packed, water filled, coffee brewing, and plenty of activity awaiting me. Boy am I tiiiired. I woke up in the middle of the night wide awake. Hopefully that means I'll wear myself out and sleep good tonight.
10/12 - Yay, a drop from yesterday! Back on track (: Yesterday was a whole lot of sitting around since we had an alert that stopped all non-essential maintenance work giving us nothing to do. I was worried the little bit of activity paired with me being unusually hungry (I had my protein shake) would do me in. Maybe it did keep me from dropping more, but it is still a big drop and I'm quite alright. Didn't expect it all gone in one day
10/13 - Happy with this. I was quite bloated last night and still have some today. It's the uncomfortable, hard belly type. No proper TMI in 2 days but I also think this sudden routine change has stressed my body a tad bit. Today will be more of a challenge - outage starts and heavy work begins. Hopefully I can maintain water intake which has been quite good these past few days. Also supposed to be quite rainy today and I'll be working outside. Luckily, though, my commute this morning looks quite clear. Can't wait until Friday when I can catch up reading everyone's posts. Hope you're doing wonderful!
10/14 - No TMI for 3 days so this is not real weight gain. I don't have to wake up at a specific time tomorrow therefore don't have to worry about getting to bed on time -- will allow me to stop at the store on my way home for some assistance unless I get some movement going today. A lot more moving around yesterday doing work. Today will be some work, but not a whole lot since we knocked out most of it yesterday. Hopefully we don't have a lot of down time forcing us to sit and do nothing. Makes the day go by slower... Water has been staying on track so long as I bring a water bottle with me. I hate all the waste, but it's the only option I have right now. Will look into a smaller water cup that is a bit more portable while at the store for the next couple weeks to limit the waste. Plenty of my meal prep left over for tomorrow and Saturday. Will need to think of foods for next week (though BF will be back for dinners so at least I have that)
10/15 - Finally some TMI happened yesterday! I guess I scared my body when I typed out softener haha Off work today so lazing around the house, trying to get things done. Broke my phone yesterday so replacement should arrive today. Hopefully early enough I can get to the Verizon store to have data transferred and services transferred before they close. Other than that, not much going on. Leftovers today, the last day before I have to toss since I made them Sunday afternoon. Upping water today - met goal yesterday but was out in the heat and sweating which I wasn't great at replenishing so I'm retaining a bit more than I'd like. At least I feel several pounds lighter and more mobile after getting that blockage out meaning I can hopefully be more mobile today in general without feeling sluggish. BF's mom's funeral is today. Not sure if I'll have phone or if he'll send pictures like he did with the viewing. If so, I'll be an emotional wreck later, I'm sure. She was so lovely.
10/16 - Slightly over calories but under maintenance. Not sure. I do feel and look less bloated than yesterday so I'm completely happy and at ease with the scale now that I'm feeling better. Today I'll toss my leftovers since I don't trust them after 5 days and start making a list for next week. Lunch, then, will be up in the air for me depending on what I have left to make up. I know I have frozen veggies to steam, but protein will be a little more challenging to figure out.

Also on the menu a lightly sauced tofu stir fry! That I've got down, just not curry (will be my first attempt at making it myself)
I do make curry. I don't worry so much about trying to make it healthier, other than maybe subbing a lighter milk for any full fat it calls for. Otherwise I just eat it in small portions. I love my curry, and really don't want to mess with it. I am afraid it will change the flavor. I am ok with having "real" foods that I love and haven't messed with, just in smaller portions and less often.
I used a light coconut milk (recipe called for it anyway) and loaded up veggies as the recipe said. I do have a smaller portion so I think I'll be okay. The recipe says one serving is 387 calories which is perfect for lunch. When I get hot, I don't like to eat too much, but it'll be enough to push me through the day with help from my breakfast and afternoon snack. Also will keep me within daily calories with my dinner. Thank you. It smells amazing but I haven't taste tested yet. I hope its okay!5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
10/9 205.2 Starting at the lowest weight I've been all year. Hope to at least stay at this new normal, or to get a bit below it this round. 202 will mark my exit from obesity to overweight hood, so that's a goal for this year, if not this month, or even this round. We'll see how it goes. Good luck to you all this round!
10/10 205 staying the course
10/11 204 upon an early awakening, I was 205.2. I went back to sleep and found myself down a pound! Apparently sleep is magical!
10/12 204.2 & holding
10/13 204.2 thought I'd go up a bit w/ some extra energy bars & a ate afternoon croissant, but I guess that evening walk helped.
10/14 204.6 Ahh, those cupcakes and treats at the Y got gobbled up by guess who?
10/16 207.8 I no longer stress due to these 3-4 lb fluctuations. Although that being said, I had dinner at the home of a dear friend as a going away party for another, followed by a short trip out of town w/ eating out. I'm happy that this new 3-4 pound range is gradually going down from the 209-211 pound range. This weight loss tracking journey is an interesting one. Back to my own meal prep again!
10/17 209.6 uh oh! I didn't sleep well last night. How is it possible to so easily gain and struggle to lose weight?

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.

Had a wonderful BBQ yesterday which was very nice. My first one in 2 years!! I was proud of myself. I had a premier protein shake that morning late around 11:00 am and enjoyed myself in moderation and managed not to gain weight.

Monday is my official weigh-in day. I lost 4.4 lbs. since last Monday. I am going to keep that as my weigh-in day in case I go back to WW. Yesterday was ok, maybe I gained from Saturday, and I did have some high sodium, but I was not over calories, so I am good. Going to get in a workout today. Hope all is well. Stay safe Everyone.

Yesterday was ok. I did not have a chance to work out. Not feeling it at all this week for the workouts. I will try to push myself. I am not even getting my step goal in so far 0/2. Good night
10/13 385.0
Happy with loss finally! So busy today but I am at least going to shoot for getting in my step goal today which is 5500 and do at least one 10 min spurt of something. (Bad knees but I modify and move forward)

Yesterday was crazy busy! Multi-tasking all day long lol but I made it without over-eating. Stuck to my computer though. Had so much to do at work. I work remotely most days now which is the result of pandemic. I went to Costco this morning to get in some steps before work and do some shopping. I will get in my steps today for sure. Already over 4500 steps… I did this also because I eat out once a week and chose today to go to Chipotle which is very high in sodium. I will still be under calories but may not see any movement tomorrow again on scale which is fine. I am drinking water and moving more today. So, we will see. Tomorrow morning I plan to get up early and wash my car if weather permits to get in some activity. Thanks for posts and support! I am enjoying the challenge. I have had time to read some of post since I have been posting and click "reactions" so that is something. Hope all is well. Please be well and stay safe.
10/15 387.8 – 5558 steps day before
10/16 386.0 – 6047 steps yesterday
Happy to have gotten in my steps 2 days in a row. Yesterday I went to the grocery store and did not buy any sweets. I needed fruit. I only had one apple left. I did not drink enough water Thursday. I will drink my quota today and did great yesterday with water. I need to get my steps in again today if I want to get close to 382 goal by Monday. Have a great weekend everyone!!
10/17 386.0 – did not reach step goal or do workout yesterday
Was under calories. But overate today. I probably will not lose weight this round. We will see you in the morning. Not sweating it. On to the next round. The weekends are always challenging for me.

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.
*One of my major goals is to get my BMI under 40 (260 weight) so I can have surgery on my knees *[color]10 -
Round 165 (97th for me). I need this to help keep me on track.
@QuiltingJaine-thank you for setting up the new round.
Challenge for this round is to stay on track – I've been very lax over the last few days – any loss will be a win!
Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” sometime 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.

SW: 136.4
Day/Weight/Comment
10/9 136.4 – 9.1 miles walked yesterday, not too bad a day food wise.
10/10 137.4 – 13.12 miles walked yesterday, good food day, guessing up bounce is still results of bad choices a few days ago. Hope that is the peak!
10/11 137 – no structured walking as travelled up 90 miles to celebrate DS's birthday, involved pizza, chicken legs, potato wedges, birthday cake etc. but no evening meal as we were not hungry after the return journey home!
10/12 137 – 9.53 miles walked yesterday, some unwise food choices means that I was 12 calories over, but could have been worse!
10/13 136.2 – 9.8 miles walked yesterday, then went to help DS in the house she has just bought; scraped 3 layers of wallpaper off the bedroom walls. Very good choices all day, but need to be consistent, really hoping I've turned the corner in getting back unto control.
10/14 136.2 – 11.79 miles walked yesterday, very good food choices, all calories & macros in limits.
10/15 136.2 – 5.52 miles walked yesterday pushing my 20 month old DGS in his buggy, 3.5 hours sitting in the car travelling up to do the caring. A few unwise choices 85 calories over.
10/16 137 – 10.50 miles walked yesterday then went out dancing last night, 2 hours solid on the floor. Came back and after a shower had a couple of late night snacks which meant that although still within calories was over on carbs. 2 days to make a difference.
10/17 135.8 – 13.11 miles walked yesterday, what a gorgeous autumnal day, sat for 45 mins after our picnic half way and soaked up the warm sunshine; totally unexpected !! Calories and all macros in credit.
10/18 135.8 – 6.7 miles walked yesterday. Sunday lunch with siblings and made sensible choices; calories & macros in credit. 0.2 pounds lost since end of last round, small but still a loss!!
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE. Keep calm – Covid is still out there take care, we're still in this together!

**********************************************
10/9 149.0 (trend 151.4) Went out last night to a lovely new bar and grill in our little town, it uses all local ingredients and has lots of healthy options, I'm looking forward to eating there one day soon. Had a few too many drinks so woke up feeling really dehydrated which is probably why I had a loss as I was defo over calories.
10/10 150.8 (trend 151.3) Had a bit of a refeed day yesterday and didn't track calories too accurately. Enjoyed some good comfort food and lots of fruit and salad. Definitely holding onto water today but feeling a lot stronger after getting a bit weak and wibbly on low cals last week.
10/11 151.8 (151.4) Urgh, even the trend weight has gone up now. I have to remind myself that I may have over indulged this weekend but only by about 1000 above my calorie goal over the 3 days and should still be below maintenance. This is just water and tmi, surely. A few days of drinking lots of water and careful eating and I should be back on track, fingers crossed. Totm is due in a week so that's likely having an influence, gonna have to grit my teeth and stay the course.
10/12 152.2 (trend 151.5) Well. I seem to be responding to my weight shooting up by eating more and losing all self restraint. I don't want to go any further with this self sabotage but for some reason I can't stop it. I NEED to get my drive back before all my hard work unravels. Went out for a family meal last night as my daughter has been asking for ages, it's so hard to find healthy choices in some places. I didn't want a plain salad with chicken breast so the next best thing was a veggy lasagne with salad but there was sooo much cheese on it. Told myself I'd leave the garlic bread but I didn't. Then when I got home I got the munchies and ate crackers and cereal bars. Think I need to do a reset to get rid of these cravings.
10/13 150.2 (trend 151.3) Phew, ok! Totm came today so I can stop being so bloody emotional and get a grip! I am NOT destined to be fat forever, I AM in control of this, I CAN achieve my goals! Didn't do much better with self control yesterday but today is a new day and I feel much more focused and determined, no more wallowing!
10/14 149.6 (trend 151.1) Still dropping, good! Same weight as last Thursday but trend weight is almost 1lb lower, so that's progress! Had really bad cramps yesterday and all night, which isn't normal for me. Spent much of the evening on the sofa hurting, thankfully my cat Leesa was laid on my belly purring which really helped, bless her! I wonder if I'll get a loss this round, need to get below 149.0 for that. Food wasn't too bad, within calories but not very in control. I was craving eggs so had veggies with mayo for lunch and scrambled eggs for dinner.
10/15 148.8 (trend 150.8) Yay, a new low today! I'm surprised as I was over calories yesterday, I guess I must have dropped a load of water weight. I finished ripping out the old kitchen and now have no stove or kitchen sink so meals are gonna be a bit tricky for a while. I'll get the camping stove out but camping gas is expensive so I'll try not to use it much. Need to try my best to stay on plan this weekend and not be tempted by takeaways.
10/16 149.2 (trend 150.5) Low energy day yesterday, didn't sleep well the night before so had to rest a lot. Did well with food until the evening when my daughter handed me a big bowl of mashed potato and gravy which I scoffed, ah well it was lush! I might just break even this round. Slept for about 10hrs last night so today should be better. Have to make sure I drink lots of water today.
10/17 148.8 (trend 150.3) Not sure I believe this weight today, my scale didn't want to make its mind up and as I went out last night for a meal and drinks I was really expecting an uptick. I'll take it though and try not to be disappointed tomorrow when it bounces back up!
10/18 149.0 (trend 150.1) So missed my goal by 0.6lb and trend goal by 0.1lb. Didn't lose anything this round, no tmi today and I had totm this round, but also my eating and drinking hasn't been the best at all! Time to pull my socks up and get back in the game, I'm going to aim for zero alcohol next round as it always leads to cravings and tiredness plus of course extra calories. There's a high chance I'll have to go to Portugal next weekend so that's going to bring a few challenges but also will give me a reason to be extra good this week because travel is so much easier when you're feeling body confident. I'd love to see 147lbs by the end of the month but will decide next round's goal when I weigh tomorrow morning. Almost time to change my ultimate goal weight (UGW) just waiting for the trend to hit 150lbs.
Well done everybody for sticking at it! See you in 166 x10
