    Be Safe @UnstoppableSandra . Feel better!

    Thanks @starrjulia8
    Im still so paranoid when going out cycling! And not sleeping very well.
    But I still go out and cycle. I don’t want that event to stop me.

    Pepper Spray?

    Could be.
    It happened soooo fast! I need to find a way to have it close to my handlebar.

    😎I was after an elusive 85 lbs, but this week I dropped below my UGW and am now down 87lbs 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
    • In Maintenance for over 2 years.
    • Smart BMI - optimal weight.
    • Muscle/Fat %ages in normal range

    Just 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:
    • 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.
    • 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.
    Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

    Thank you @quiltingjaine - so ready for another round!

    May 10, 2021:183.1 - just 2.9 pounds off 186, my heaviest weight ever (stopped posting on this challenge July 2020 - very glad to be back!)

    Calorie/Carb Cycling with an average of 1200 to 1400 calories at the end of 10 days. 80 oz water each day. Row/Walk/Free-Weights most days. IF, no sugar. Focus on getting enough vegetables. If I hit each of these, the weight loss will follow!

    Playing Catchup:
    163....162....161..... 160....159.X....

    Next short-term goal:
    159....158....157..... 156....155.X....

    10/29: DNW - Away for the first 2 days of this round.
    10/30: DNW
    10/31: Off the rails
    11/01: Off the rails
    11/02: Off the rails
    11/03: Off the rails
    11/04: Off the rails
    11/05: 163.7

    11/06: 163.8 - No luck yet that some of this is water weight, but we shall see. Either way, it's just back to healthy living! Good day yesterday: 64oz water, 1231 calories, lots of vegetables and protein, and moved from morning to night working on house. I'm still catching up on everyone's posts over the last 10 days of missing in action.

    11/07: DNW - I am glad this round is over! Onward...!!

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's

    If I quit now, I'll soon be back where I started. And when I started, I so desperately wanted to be where I am now!
    There is no going back! NOT THIS TIME!

    Day/Weight/Comment


    10/29 - 89.5 kg / 197.3 lbs

    10/30 - 89.9 kg / 198.2 lbs

    10/31 - 90 kg / 198.3 lbs

    11/01 - 92 kg / 202.8 lbs

    11/02 - 90.1 kg / 198.6 lbs

    11/03 - 89.1 kg / 196.4 lbs

    11/04 - 88.4 kg / 194.9 lbs - it's my birthday today!

    11/05 - 89.0 kg / 196.2 lbs

    11/06 - 89.7 kg / 197.8 lbs

    11/07 -90.8 kg / 200.2 lbs


    Sooo I finished the round heavier than I started it, but I have to admit I wasn't really focused on nutrition. Actually knowing that I am not really following up with diet and exercise I kind of dread stepping on the scale every morning, so it was a little victory of mine that I continued weighing myself daily. I will do better next round!
