Day/Weight/Comment
10/19 / 205.4 / Ready to kick this mid-200's to the curb! Let's do this.
10/20 / 204 / Oh hey girl hey!!! There's the drop I've been looking for. Hubby and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary last night. We opted to stay in and he cooked me a fabulous meal. Had planned my calories at maintenance - 10% and am happy with how I managed myself.
10/21 / 202 / Looks like my body is saying goodbye to what it held on to in R165! I had the hardest ride on the Peloton to date yesterday morning and a really great day of eating. This is my lowest weight ever on this journey and it officially moves me from the obese BMI category to overweight! WOO HOO!
10/22 / 201.4 / Yesterday was a mix of yoga, strength training, and walking. Ate on track, went to my Mom's for dinner and cooked a healthy meal for her. Glad to see more progress today!
10/23 / 199.8 / I'm not exactly sure when the last time I saw a 1 to start my weight was, but the last memory I do have of it was around 15 years ago, so this is a VERY exciting day indeed. The weight seems to just be tumbling off me this round!
10/24 / 200 / It was pouring rain here yesterday, but it wasn't snow so I'll take it! Got myself out for a good walk, rode the Peloton, and did my yoga. Noticing how much better it feels to be inside my body these days.
10/25 / 202.2 / Fun day yesterday doing a few shorter hikes in the mountains. Made some great memories. Also did a harder than normal 30 minute power yoga class.. loving how I can notice my strength improving.

🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
🎃🎃🎃 OCTOBER 🎃🎃🎃
🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
I was after an elusive 85 lbs loss 😂 but 83 will do me fine. (Now 85 😁)
• 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 < 145
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy
Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:- 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
- 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
- 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2021
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

10/22 207.2 I'm glad to be out of the teens and solidly in the 200 + single digits. Down a smidgen over 70. I don't mind plateaus. I feel good swimming laps, doing tai chi & chair yoga, even though I'm famished after time in the water.
10/23 206.2 weight fluctuates. I'm happy to have lost since I had a headache & backache followed by two peanut butter & honey sandwiches (totally off my plan) last night.
This is a very interesting journey with surprises along the way!
10/24 205 Go figure...a friend stopped by unexpectedly with a box of cinnamon rolls yesterday afternoon, I had three as I had coffee & we chatted. And I lost weight this morning?
10/25 206.2 swam for an hour, overate, popcorn, energy bars, Babe Ruth bar, 2 extra bananas. Dang swimming makes me way more hungry than any other exercise! Hope tomorrow's weight isn't outrageous.

@Elbee1 So sorry for the loss of your dad. Prayers for your family.9

If you are losing a lot of hair, please check your proteins. Your hair starts falling out when you are not getting enough proteins. Hope this helps. Be patient and don't starve yourself because this will backfire when you are closer to goal. Our bodies are soooo smart. It will hold on to pounds if you drop your calories too low. It will go into starvation mode.39flavours wrote: »F41, 5'4

**********************************************
10/19 148.4 (trend 149.9) I hit last round's goal weight today so I'm pleased about that, also got my trend weight below 150 so have changed my UGW trend to my healthy weight BMI, it seems like such a long way off but it's only 7.2lbs away, totally doable!
I had a terrible night's sleep, anxiety and knowing I have a busy day ahead today working with my plumber and electrician kept me awake until 5am, then my alarm went off at 6.30... don't know how I'm gonna get through today without lots of sugar but I'll do my best!
Goal weight for this round is 10.5St (147lbs) which is the weight I was when I met my husband 9.5 years ago.
10/20 148.4 (trend 149.7) Feeling much brighter today after a good sleep. I need to really focus on drinking more water and getting more nutrients as I've been relying too much on snacky foods like deli meats, crackers and cheese and not having enough vitamins, and I've been drinking too much coffee. Need to R&R, rest and rehydrate, rather than depending on stimulants and fatty salty food to keep my energy up.150 cals over yesterday but it was a long busy day.
10/21 147.4 (trend 149.4) Excited to see 147 with a 1lb drop over night, it feels like I've been very slowly creeping down for ages so to get a big drop is great. I hope it sticks! Also my BMI is 25.8 so I'm in close range of a healthy weight, not too far now! Still my trend weight has to catch up, so I'm not getting complacent. Had a huge chicken salad last night, first time I've had any proper volume in my stomach for several days, felt good!
10/22 147.2 (trend 149.1) I didn't deserve this loss today as I went out last night and had beers, cheesy chips and a big cookie, hopefully it doesn't catch me up tomorrow! Not a very healthy day but I'm not going to dwell on it.
10/23 149.4 (trend 149.2) Yikes! I ate a lot yesterday, all sensible choices but at maintenance calories. Had indigestion all night and still feeling bloated today so I'm not really surprised at this. Going to water fast for most of the day to try and flush this through.
10/24 148.2 (trend 149.0) Still a bit bloated but glad to see this dropping back down quickly. Excited that my trend weight is coming down and I'm leaving 150lbs in the distance! Fasted until about 5pm then had chicken salad and a cereal bar. Spent most of the day paint stripping which was weirdly satisfying and kept me active. Today I need to seal the walls and ceiling with a pva glue solution ready for the plasterers to come and do their magic, can't wait!
10/25 148.6 (trend 148.9) I'm a bit bummed that I didn't lose today, I ate within my cals yesterday, got plenty of fluids, went for a 4 mile brisk walk and spent the rest of the day on my feet working on my kitchen reno. I must be retaining something as my average daily cals for the last week are 1000ish. It really does get harder the closer you get to goal but I still have about 20lbs to go and at this rate it's going to take me about 8 months to get there. Getting my follow up blood test for my thyroid in a week as it was moderately underactive 2 months ago, I've been losing a LOT of hair recently not sure if this is because of low calories or the thyroid.

SW:79kg (12st 6lb) Started today
GW: 64kg (10st 1lb)
Day/Weight/Comment
10/19: 79kg. I lost 2.5 stone a few years back but a divorce, house move and then Covid misery has seen me put it all back on again. My indigestion is bad, my joints ache and I feel sluggish and grumpy. All things I know are improved with a better diet and more exercise so back to MFP I go!
10/20: 78kg (12st 4lb). It's always easy for week 1!!
10/21: 77kg (12st 2lb). Indigestion is still playing up but have made careful food choices and made the conscious effort to walk just that bit further on my dog walks. Am well aware that this is all water loss and the hard work starts now to keep the scales moving down.
10/22 77kg (12st 2lb)
10/23 76kg (12st). The indigestion is starting to improve although I still feel bloated and yucky. Going in to town today and the thought of trying to squeeze myself into my jeans makes me very uncomfortable. Think I’ll stick with my leggings for another half a stone or so:(
10/24 76kg (12st). Had a lovely long walk yesterday. 20,000 steps. Also bought 2 new tops that fit and make me feel great. Had another long walk today. 14,000 steps. The weather is very chilly but it was good to be out!
10/25 76kg (12st). Got to face my first big challenge later. My daughter wants Dominos pizza. I need to eat a sensible portion. Portion control when faced with tempting food items is a huge issue for me. I've pre-calculated 3 slices and 1 pot of dip. Fingers crossed I can stick to it.
10/26 75.5kg (11st 12.5lb). I did good with my pizza challenge and stayed within my calories for the day!

Round 166 (98th 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 get back on track – want to drop a few pounds by the start of December as I feel more comfy in a dress I want to wear for Peaky Blinders night – 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.

**********************************************
10/19 148.4 (trend 149.9) I hit last round's goal weight today so I'm pleased about that, also got my trend weight below 150 so have changed my UGW trend to my healthy weight BMI, it seems like such a long way off but it's only 7.2lbs away, totally doable!
I had a terrible night's sleep, anxiety and knowing I have a busy day ahead today working with my plumber and electrician kept me awake until 5am, then my alarm went off at 6.30... don't know how I'm gonna get through today without lots of sugar but I'll do my best!
Goal weight for this round is 10.5St (147lbs) which is the weight I was when I met my husband 9.5 years ago.
10/20 148.4 (trend 149.7) Feeling much brighter today after a good sleep. I need to really focus on drinking more water and getting more nutrients as I've been relying too much on snacky foods like deli meats, crackers and cheese and not having enough vitamins, and I've been drinking too much coffee. Need to R&R, rest and rehydrate, rather than depending on stimulants and fatty salty food to keep my energy up.150 cals over yesterday but it was a long busy day.
10/21 147.4 (trend 149.4) Excited to see 147 with a 1lb drop over night, it feels like I've been very slowly creeping down for ages so to get a big drop is great. I hope it sticks! Also my BMI is 25.8 so I'm in close range of a healthy weight, not too far now! Still my trend weight has to catch up, so I'm not getting complacent. Had a huge chicken salad last night, first time I've had any proper volume in my stomach for several days, felt good!
10/22 147.2 (trend 149.1) I didn't deserve this loss today as I went out last night and had beers, cheesy chips and a big cookie, hopefully it doesn't catch me up tomorrow! Not a very healthy day but I'm not going to dwell on it.
10/23 149.4 (trend 149.2) Yikes! I ate a lot yesterday, all sensible choices but at maintenance calories. Had indigestion all night and still feeling bloated today so I'm not really surprised at this. Going to water fast for most of the day to try and flush this through.
10/24 148.2 (trend 149.0) Still a bit bloated but glad to see this dropping back down quickly. Excited that my trend weight is coming down and I'm leaving 150lbs in the distance! Fasted until about 5pm then had chicken salad and a cereal bar. Spent most of the day paint stripping which was weirdly satisfying and kept me active. Today I need to seal the walls and ceiling with a pva glue solution ready for the plasterers to come and do their magic, can't wait!
10/25 148.6 (trend 148.9) I'm a bit bummed that I didn't lose today, I ate within my cals yesterday, got plenty of fluids, went for a 4 mile brisk walk and spent the rest of the day on my feet working on my kitchen reno. I must be retaining something as my average daily cals for the last week are 1000ish. It really does get harder the closer you get to goal but I still have about 20lbs to go and at this rate it's going to take me about 8 months to get there. Getting my follow up blood test for my thyroid in a week as it was moderately underactive 2 months ago, I've been losing a LOT of hair recently not sure if this is because of low calories or the thyroid.
10/26 147.4 (trend 148.7) Glad to see things settling back down. I had bad cramps and bloating again yesterday, think it was hormonal this time as I was really anxious and crabby too. Calendar says ovulation so probably that. Had very little appetite most of the day then got carried away with the oatcakes, pickles and cream cheese in the evening. Will I hit my goal this round? Maybe?

Day, Weight, Comment
Previous days :
10/19 73.5 (+0.1kg) 162.0 (+0.2lbs) Kept my carbs under 20gr, walked to and from the office which is 8km total. Not sure where the gains are coming from but I'm guessing I'm putting back on the muscles I lost while I was in the wheelchair. My clothes don't fit any different but there's certainly more muscles in my legs where they had totally disappeared. The walking is going so well I might even try running (or hobbling along lol) Big day for my father today, we've got an appointment this afternoon where they're going to tell us the grading of the cancer and the proposed treatment. I'm quite conflicted with all this, my father is not the nicest of persons and my adolescence was pretty awful, a lot of my food issues are to do with him, so becoming his sole caregiver is a well of contradictory emotions. I'm trying not to compensate with food as I did as a teenager.
10/20 73.1kg (-0.4kg) 161.1 (-0.9 lbs) Pretty happy with that, I think all the walking is paying off, I walked again the 8km yesterday and I'm doing some yoga morning and evening for stretching. For Dad, they're opting for the chimio/radiotherapy combination and they're reasonably optimistic. They're calling it a curative treatment compared to a palliative treatment. Nothing special planned
10/21 73.1 kg or 161.1 lbs (no change). Yesterday was a pretty good day all over. Walked the 8km plus another 1.5km during lunch. I thought I'd go out for a walk this afternoon but it's pouring down, so I'll just work and maybe leave the office early for a longer walk back if the weather improves. Food is ok, I'm working long hours and running around quite a bit, but evenings are harder, the fridge is just there and being able to nibble is hard to resist!
10/22 : 73.1 kg or 161.1 lbs. No change. I was good all day, did my 8km walk but when I arrived home I had a total of 15 mins to eat, get changed and leave to get my dad to the doctors so I ended up throwing a frozen meal in the microwave. Definitely not keto or even anywhere near low carb.. and I thoroughly enjoyed it... potatoes in cheese sauce
(I was still wayyyy under calories which helped feel less guilty lol). So today is another day, I just did my yoga this morning then physiotherapy. As I'm working from home there won't be any walking but I think I need a day off. I've got to be at 8 different places in the space of 6 hours, it's going to be one of those days. I don't think food will be any good, there's not enough in the fridge and the supermarket isn't one of those 8 places I need to be at 
Weekend Recap
10/23 161.1 lbs Full day of walking around shops, 14.000 steps
10/24 161.1 lbs Couch 2 5 k 1st day
10/25 162.3, no idea where that gain came from. Yesterday I did the 1st run of the C25k app and I was hungry afterwards but had grilled cod filet and broccoli for lunch with a Greek yogurt as desert. Dinner was some tofu and a yogurt as I wasn't really that hungry. That was it for the day. I was so pleased I could try running with my ankle, the physiotherapist gave me the go aheadI'm not sure I'll have time to do any exercise this week but next week I'm visiting family in England for the 1st time since the start of the pandemic, I'll have a week rest and I plan on bringing my exercise gear
10/26 162.3 still the same but at least no gain which is good as I had a piece of cake yesterday. My family is visiting from Geneva for the 1st time since my father's cancer diagnostic, so we had a little family get together, it's been rare with Covid. They're visiting all week so it won't be the best food wise, we have a few restaurants and other things planned before dad starts chemo. On Saturday I'm leaving for a weeks holiday visiting another side of the family in the uk but I'll have time to do exercise there. I walked to work today and I'm hoping to have time to go to the gym during my lunch hour to do the second C25k training.
