Been at this weight for a long time and decided it was time get moving on losing the excess lbs and to getting healthier. Better to do it with like minded people, instead of alone. With the holidays looming in the very near future, now's a good time as any to start this new journey.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/07 …..189.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/08 …..189.2 ….. (Trend weight xxxxx) Not off to a great start with the scale. Late night snacks brought on by excessive hunger. I worked hard in the yard yesterday for over 3 hours and burned over 700 calories just in raking. Those calories can come in much faster than they leave!
11/09 …..189.6 ….. Trend weight xxxxx) No TMI again. Very early weigh-in after, essentially, no sleep and all those other excuses. Yesterday it was not on my daughter. It was on me. I know what good habits are. I know what low calorie is and what low carb can do to help me. I recognize the right foods. It’s time to stop glancing at it all and start staring at what I need to do. It has been out of control since just before my surgery.
11/10 …..189.6 ….. (Trend weight 188.6) I just realized my fitbit wasn’t linking to my trendweight.com so my trending weights have been off. I think It may have something to do with my daughter’s new fitbit I bought her for her birthday. It may be scrambling up my info. I found another way to get it in the meantime so I’ve included it today. Sheesh….this is worse than I thought or imagined!
11/11 …..189.6 ….. (Trend weight 188.6)
11/12 …..189.4 ….. (Trend weight 188.8) I can’t take this many changes at once on the new format. I will work on trying to get my spoiler available but hidden first in order to shorten my posts again. Dr. appointment yesterday for surgery follow-up. They are trying to find me a cardiologist and an endocrinologist within 100 miles of my home (rural area). They also have to accept my insurance. Wish me luck on that!!!!!
11/13 ……189.2….. (Trend weight 189.0) I am happy to see a smaller number on the scale. However my trend weight just keeps going up and is almost matching my weight. I made yesterday a better day with some better choices. I am aiming for another good day. I hope this challenge will keep going and that we will not lose so many important people. Each and every one of you offer insight and value and I appreciate you all!
11/14 …..191.0 ….. (Trend weight 189.2) Traveled yesterday. Weight showed up from dinner out and lots of car driving (inactivity). I’ll work it off today as much as possible. Heavy snow outside so nothing there due to slippery. One handyman coming today so I’ll have to get creative on exercise. Obviously I am disappointed that one meal would make such a negative difference.
11/15 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
11/16 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
11/17 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

*********************************************
11/08 146.6 (trend 146.6) was hoping to start this round at a lower number after seeing 145.# several times last round but hey ho. TOTM started today with a vengeance, which explains why I've been such a monster to my family the last few days! Feeling pretty nauseous and weak, must try to avoid stuffing my face for comfort. Not sure what to set my goal weight at this round, I'll aim high but any loss will be a win.
11/09 145.8 (146.5) Hopefully this is the end of the bloat, fingers crossed. Didn't make the best food choices yesterday, had no breakfast, bolognese and veg for lunch and a piece of fruit... all good but then I scoffed a portion of chip shop chips with loads of ketchup, doh! Still came in just under calories though, phew!
11/10 145.2 (trend 146.3) November is going so fast! Starting to feel like I'm treading water again with my weight loss and I need to find a way to get things moving again. I definitely feel like I'm losing better and feeling better now that I've upped my calories a bit (conversely) but my activity levels aren't that great in the evenings. I work on my kitchen reno until it starts to get darkish at 4pm then there's not enough light in the room to see what I'm doing so I get changed and basically sit for the rest of the day, not good.
11/11 147.0 (trend 146.4) Didn't want to post this today but I have to stay accountable. Had a blow out yesterday, beers and nachos at the pub then pizza and chocolate at home.
Hope I haven't messed up the whole round, still 6 days to pull this back.
11/12 148.6 (trend 146.8) Yikes! Need to get back in control, desperately!
11/13 147.2 (trend 146.8) Well I think I'm getting the hang of this new format, ish! I have saved links to my mfp bookmarks into a folder on my phone home screen so that they are easier to access. Still finding it tricky to browse the forum but at least I can now find my challenges quickly!
The daily habit of checking in with you guys, sharing your struggles and successes and staying accountable through the highs and lows is probably the only way I've managed to stick at this for this long! I don't think it's an overreaction to feel some distress when you can't find an important tool in your tool box for fixing something that affects your physical and mental health. Happy Saturday my lovelies 😘
11/14 146.2 (trend 146.6) Totally knackered from painting the walls and ceiling of a 12' by 15' kitchen 3 times in the last 3 days. Two more coats to do on the walls tomorrow (at least) but just think of the calories burned! It would be great if everyone else in the house took up some of the slack and cleaned up after themselves, as I'm watching the house turn into a pigsty while I'm busy and knowing I'm gonna have to tackle it once I'm done! Gah.
Too tired to cook so it looks like canned soup for dinner, argh, salty!

That’s an amazing amount of work! I painted two coats (primer and one coat of color) of a similar sized room in one day by myself and vowed I would just pay someone if we ever needed a room painted again. So, major kudos to you!7 -
Round 168 (my 5th)
November 8 - November 7, 2021
Female, 5’7”
HW: 181 pounds (Dec 30, 2019)
RSW: 157.0 pounds (Nov 7, 2021, EO Round 167)
RGW: 154.0 pounds (-3.0 pounds)
Day/Weight/Comment
11/08: 157.0 - Well, I really need to focus on my eating. I’ve kind of been on autopilot with meals, but these last 4 days I was going back to some bad habits (eating even after I knew I was at the top end of my calories). When I’m not in my usual routine is when I get derailed. That means two things: I need to figure this out for upcoming holidays and travel, and I need to get back on track here at home and not let this short slide turn into a longer one.
11/09: 156.5 - Did my usual Jazzercise workout and normal meals with the exception of the last of the birthday cake.
11/10: 157.6 - Hmmm, too much salt? Too much cake?
11/11: 156.5 - Yesterday was a normal workout and eating. Been hovering around the same 2 pounds since the beginning of the month.
11/12: 155.4 - Finally, it took about a week to get back to where I was in the last round after parties and travel.
11/13: 155.4 - Was hungry all day yesterday but stuck to my calories (barely) and did a long walk
11/14: 154.8 - A new low. First time in over a week to be below 155. 1 hour Jazzercise. Salad for lunch and pizza and wine for dinner.

@musicsax Thank you for offers to take over. I can’t remember if I thanked you previously. “Old timers” syndrome.
@fmfdfa2020 and @GrandmaJackie I will stay here and give this new format a try. @GrandmaJackie thank you for lovely things you said. I DO like to be an encourager and cheerleader.
@PrimalJillian I’m so happy that you called out the disagreeable lurker. It’s too bad MFP hasn’t done anything about it after several attempts to have this handled by the powers that be. Clearly this person has a problem and feels a need to bully you. MFP needs to take care of the bullying.
I want to thank all of you for your kind remarks. It wasn’t my intention to get that response when I posted the other day but they have encouraged me to hang in here. I would miss all of you terribly if I left. Again, thank you @GrandmaJackie for keeping this going for YEARS and to @musicsax for giving it a try next round.8 -

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.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable but I’ve been doing it for over 4 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

8: 220.5 Down 1 pound from when I started last week. I'll take it. I've been not feeling very good about having gained around 10 pounds since the ankle sprain/wasp sting event over the summer. I'm hoping I can stay focused this round and see some real results.
9: 220.0 Over calories yesterday, didn't make it to the gym, tracked only 40oz of water, and am now on about 5 hours of sleep for no reason. On the plus side, I ended my eating window about 2 hours early yesterday. That might be the only thing creating today's loss. Getting ready to go to the gym now, but gonna take it easy because I'm tired.

I still can't get here on my phone, which is super inconvenient. Anyway, I've kept up on going to the gym. The spike on the 11th was likely from going two days in a row and harvesting willow for several hours on that second day. Went to Applebee's for my Veterans Day meal. I love that the veteran menu has realistic portion sizes, as compared to their regular menu. I also picked up a veteran meal voucher from Texas Roadhouse, so I'm looking forward to using that on another trip to the city. I'm happy with my progress this week. Oh, and psst, hey stalker. Instead of hiding behind that disagree button, maybe you could share what you're actually disagreeing with in every single entry that I post. Just a thought.
14: 219.1 Went to see Dune yesterday and indulged in popcorn but finished within my normal IF eating window. TOM expected in 2 days. Both things cause a bit of weight gain, so I'm not concerned about the scale being up today. Could see increases the next couple of days until my typical drop with TOM.

It’s too bad MFP hasn’t done anything about it after several attempts to have this handled by the powers that be. Clearly this person has a problem and feels a need to bully you. MFP needs to take care of the bullying.
It really is too bad that MFP hasn't taken care of this. They told me a couple of months ago that they did their part to resolve the issue but they can't actually tell me what their solution was. Obviously, it didn't work. MFP has been notified again. My suggestions were to make the reaction buttons not be anonymous or remove the disagree button all together. I mean, we're all here using the platform for health reasons. It's not like we're talking politics. There's no reason to disagree with someone else's progress or how they're making it. That's just an a-hole move, no matter how you look at it.
Thanks for your support and kind words! You too @TerriRichardson112 and @jaccimc63 !7 -

Day/Weight/Comment
11/8 / 198.8 / Haven't had an overnight jump that large in a while. My period did start yesterday. I ate on point though and walked almost 20,000 steps plus a Peloton bike ride. Had a very great day and off to make today another one.
11/9 / 198.6 / Donated blood yesterday. Super busy day today! Have moved a lot already so hoping to see the scale down some more again tomorrow.
11/10 / 199.2 / Got all my movement in early yesterday as we were volunteering at night. Ate a big salty snack right before bed but it fit within my calories.
11/11 / 197.4 / Alright - almost back to where I started. Yesterday we had a yummy salmon dinner and I rode my Peloton for the longest ride yet (45 mins).
11/12 / 196.6 / Got a lot of exercise yesterday and felt great about it. Today was a very busy day at work - so glad the weekend is here!
11/13 / 195 / Things are rolling now. It seems as I drop weight my body has become much more sensitive to my TOM than it did almost 100 pounds ago (or I was losing so fast back then it wasn't as detectable to me). In any event, it's interesting watching how the body works. Had a great day of eating again yesterday and got my exercise in.
11/14 / 192.2 / Wow - after holding on to weight for the first part of this round my body is sure flushing it out now! I have officially passed the 100+ pounds lost with this weigh-in! So excited.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/8 206 Off to a better start
11/9 207.8 We went out for lunch yesterday and I had a cheeseburger with salty fries. I did drink more water than usual and I am hoping that is why there is a big gain. We will see if that is why tomorrow but staying vigilant today. My goal is to be under 200 and into the100’s by end of the year. I need to be better!
11/10 206.4 A lot of work outside with raking the leaves. Also it looks like water retention from Monday’s lunch is gone. Now to have a good day today. Husband is on radiation treatment #12 of 20 and everything at this moment is good. Keeping everything in perspective and positive.
11/11 205.6 I’m finally starting to see some progress. Just need to think hard about how to get through the holiday season. One day at a time I guess.
11/12 205.2 I’m happy with that. I really thought that I would be up a little bit today. When we began this round I thought my end round goal of 204 was a bit high for this time of the year but maybe not. I‘ll be happy to just get close.
11/13 204.8 Yeah! 😆
11/14 204.6 Not expecting this. We went out for lunch yesterday and I thought there would be a gain today. Any loss is a positive in my book.😄

Goal for this round: Maintain weight while continuing to focus on strength training and running
Previous days11/8 Forgot to weigh this morning because I was in a hurry. Had a nice non scale victory on my birthday morning though and ran the best 5 miles in a long time, 3 out of the 5 miles were sub 10 minute miles which I haven’t done in a LONG time! So, I’m super excited about that 😊. Another non scale victory I forgot to mention last week was that I took my measurements and lost an inch from my hips even though my weight has gone up and down over the past month and half since starting strength training.11/14 Did not weigh. Made a baked French toast with high fiber challah bread for breakfast, Lunch was some left over Tom Kha soup and brown rice from Bi Bim Bap bowl I got for our birthday dinner last night and had one slice of the cake too. Dinner will be lots of veggies because we have an excessive amount still left from our CSA. We got behind one week on eating the majority of the veggies and now each week we have so much left over. I’m going to sauté or steam some of the greens so they’ll be easy to freeze and add to soups this winter/spring. I think I might blanch the cauliflower we have and pop it in the freezer. I’m grateful our top freezer/fridge has a really good-sized freezer.
Today I’ll be catching up at work after being on vacation and then my husband is cooking us dinner while I go get a massage after work. So, it’ll be nice to get home and not have to worry/think about what’s for dinner (we were going to get Indian takeout but we some food in the fridge that needs to get cooked). Either way, I don’t have to think about it so it’s a win in my book. Have a happy Monday all!
11/9 119.4 Ugh, my body is a ball of pissed off hormones, TOM is arriving very soon and we ended up getting Indian takeout last night after all and then my mother in law surprised me with a couple treats from the bakery for my birthday which I indulged in, so hello water retention. Super tired today because I slept horribly and woke up feeling very sensitive to everything, it’s like all my senses were heightened in a panicky way. It was bizarre and reminded me of when I was younger and just “didn’t feel good” as my 10 year old self would say. I think it was just a borderline panic attack, so I hung out with my cat for a few minutes before getting my butt in gear to go for a nice slow 4 mile run to help recover from yesterday’s awesome but higher intensity run.
Food choices are going to be tough because when I’m tired I want all the foods that aren’t great for me. Even the Body Battery on my Garmin watch told me it was 43 to start the day when normally it’s 80+.
On the bright side I did have a lovely birthday and I’m looking forward to making 31 another great year for me!
11/10 118.4 pre workout 117.2 post workout. Feeling better today and was able to do a nice 6 mile run this morning. Food has been good today and I have pork tenderloin with veggies on the menu tonight for dinner. Not sure about which veggies but maybe some of the ones I already have roasted along with some salad greens and dressing.
11/11 Did not weight this morning but food was good yesterday and I’m off to a good start today as well. Did a nice slow 4 mile run this morning while catching up with my step mom. I agree with the others, this new update is not great. Not sure what’s for dinner except for another large salad from our CSA greens.
11/12 Did not post
11/13 117.something Started the day with a 7 mile long run. Breakfast and lunch were good but I ate a lot of cake batter while making the cake and frosting for the birthday celebration with my in laws tonight. Then, we’ll be getting Thai which is pretty salty so I’m sure there will be a blip up for the next couple of days.

Let’s do this!
This is round 8 for me.

Round 168 goals: Pelo 2-3x/week; strength training 2-3x/week; 10,000 steps/day; <90 net carbs/day; lose as much weight as I can!
SW: 203.2
11/8: 201.8 53 net carbs, Pelo ride done, and step goal achieved. I’m starting to see a pattern emerging with the way my body loses now- stalling for about 2 weeks surrounding TOM, then suddenly dropping a lot all at once for about 10 days before starting the pattern again. That makes it feel like I have very little time each month to lose, but if it’s going to be bunch within those 10 days, then it’s really not so bad after all.
11/9: 201.6 63 net carbs, step goal achieved, and strength workout done. I had an incident where I had my injera recipe put into the MFP recipe calculator previously, but made it a little different this time but didn’t edit the recipe until after I already ate it. Still managed to pull off a good day in spite of the injera incident though, so I’m happy with that 0.2 loss! I also am wearing a pair of size 10 jeans today- the first time I’ve actually worn them since I bought them a few weeks ago as a motivator. Talk about a confidence boost!
11/10: 200.8 I’m so close to under 200 I can taste it! I was concerned pizza night night cause issues, but it obviously didn’t. 77 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. Come on 199!!!
11/11: 201.8 Well, here we are again. I’m not exactly surprised, just disappointed. I was hoping for another day or two to drop below 200 before the hormonal stall. No such luck. If this time around is anything like last time, that puts the end of the stall coming on Thanksgiving, just in time for the feasting day. Womp womp. Lol But it’ll pass, I know that! I can still very easily see <200 by the end of the month! 70 net carbs, step goal achieved, and strength training done yesterday.
11/12: 200.8 39 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. Maybe, just maybe I’ll see that 199 tomorrow yet. If not, then I’m sure it’ll be another couple of weeks. We’re attending a weeding out of state tomorrow evening, which means eating a few meals out this weekend. It’ll be what it’ll be, and I’ll be under 200 pretty darn soon regardless!
11/13:199.8 YAHOOOOOOO!! All I wanted was to see that 1 in front by today. We’re heading out of town for a wedding and I just wanted that 199.x before a little bit of planned indulgence. 34 net carbs and step goal achieved yesterday.
11/14: DNW carbs ??? Step goal ??? Wedding out of town last night, so I gave myself permission to enjoy the night after I had a well navigated lunch. Back at it today!

Wow! Congratulations @ashleycarole86 I'm happy dancing for you here in Colorado!!
Thank you my fellow Rocky Mountain dweller (I'm up north in Alberta) Appreciate the support! 5 -
Round 168 (100th for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on track.
@QuiltingJaine-thank you for setting up the new round.
I was so disgusted and disappointed with myself the last few day of last round; so challenge for this round is to stay on track; I'm endeavouring yet again to have a binge free 10 days, after all it is only 10 days! – I want to drop a good few pounds by the start of December as I feel more comfy in a dress I want to wear for Peaky Blinders dance night – any loss will be a win!
Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” months ago, but remember there is still a pandemic, cases are continuing to rise: 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: 136.2
Day/Weight/Comment
11/8 136.2 – better numbers ! 7.3 miles walked yesterday, calories and carbs both just slightly over, no binge.
11/9 135.8 – yes! Back to where I was 5 days ago; 2 days to gain 3+ pounds, but 3 days to lose it and feel better for it ! A binge not only brings weight gain, but makes me feel bloated, uncomfortable, lethargic, generally disgruntled and my mouth breaks out in ulcers. It's about time I leant my lesson! 11.75 miles walked yesterday, a very good food day, calories well under, carbs just 9 over. No binge!
11/10 135 - 9.57 miles walked & then a good few hours helping DS with her newly purchased bungalow; taking up old wooden floor panels, underlay, removing skirting boards then loading into the skip. Reasonable food day, just about kept with in calories, but exceeded carbs.
11/11 135 – 10.01 miles walked yesterday, excellent food choices; calories and all macros in credit.
11/12 135.6 – 3 miles only walked yesterday. Over indulged on freshly baked crusty bread, but stopped myself going into a binge. Both calories & carbs over, but I did log every mouthful which is an improvement for me. Travelled up to childmind my little toddler DGS & took him up to spend the day with DIL and 2 DGDs aged 5 months & 3, we baked cup cakes with the older two then walked to the children's playground before the return journey. A wonderful family day .
11/13 136.4 – 10.78 miles walked, ate at an Indian restaurant at 9.00pm, as you all know, there are no low calorie, low fat or low sodium choices on the menu !!! But the company made up for this, and of course I did enjoy the food ! Had a very low calorie lunch in preparation and walked to the restaurant too. I didn't even try to calculate the calories in my meal, to be honest can't remember the name of it; something like Atilia sizzling lamb ? Served with mushroom rice and naan bread, the later two items I shared with DH AND I left some of my bread, that has never been known for me !!! Plan a low calorie first half of the day, but of course Saturday is pizza night, AND will really push the water.
P.S both spoiler & BBC have worked this morning without any additional intervention from me !!
11/14 135.6 – sodium flushed away !! 11 miles walked, calories well under, carbs 9 over. A good choices day.
11/15 135.6 – 7.6 miles walked yesterday, out for lunch with some long-standing friends who have returned from living in Spain and who we have not seen for 2 years. Delicious food and no evening meal as I was still full ! Just about within calories, but carbs over.

I am Catherine, a 44yr old, 5' 7” lady from North Wales, UK.
Round 166 - SW79kg (12st 6lb), EW 75kg. Was my first week calorie controlling for a long time so the loss was all water really… now the hard work starts!
Round 167 - SW 75kg, EW 74.5kg. Was a tough week and I blew it overnight between the end of the last round and the start of this one!! 😫
11/8: 76kg, 11st 13.6lb. Yesterday was a bad bad day. For future reference wine at lunchtime is my enemy!
11/9; 75kg, 11st 11lb. Back on track with my eating but struggling really badly with indigestion. Oh my god the indigestion. I feel SO ill. I’m popping proton pump inhibitors like they are going out of fashion but really I need to stress less… easier said than done!
11/10; 74.5kg, 11st 10lb and still full of indigestion pills!
11/11: 74.5kg, 11st 10lb
11 /12: 74.5kg, 11st 10lb
11/13: 74.5kg

*********************************************
11/08 146.6 (trend 146.6) was hoping to start this round at a lower number after seeing 145.# several times last round but hey ho. TOTM started today with a vengeance, which explains why I've been such a monster to my family the last few days! Feeling pretty nauseous and weak, must try to avoid stuffing my face for comfort. Not sure what to set my goal weight at this round, I'll aim high but any loss will be a win.
11/09 145.8 (146.5) Hopefully this is the end of the bloat, fingers crossed. Didn't make the best food choices yesterday, had no breakfast, bolognese and veg for lunch and a piece of fruit... all good but then I scoffed a portion of chip shop chips with loads of ketchup, doh! Still came in just under calories though, phew!
11/10 145.2 (trend 146.3) November is going so fast! Starting to feel like I'm treading water again with my weight loss and I need to find a way to get things moving again. I definitely feel like I'm losing better and feeling better now that I've upped my calories a bit (conversely) but my activity levels aren't that great in the evenings. I work on my kitchen reno until it starts to get darkish at 4pm then there's not enough light in the room to see what I'm doing so I get changed and basically sit for the rest of the day, not good.
11/11 147.0 (trend 146.4) Didn't want to post this today but I have to stay accountable. Had a blow out yesterday, beers and nachos at the pub then pizza and chocolate at home.
Hope I haven't messed up the whole round, still 6 days to pull this back.
11/12 148.6 (trend 146.8) Yikes! Need to get back in control, desperately!
11/13 147.2 (trend 146.8) Well I think I'm getting the hang of this new format, ish! I have saved links to my mfp bookmarks into a folder on my phone home screen so that they are easier to access. Still finding it tricky to browse the forum but at least I can now find my challenges quickly!
The daily habit of checking in with you guys, sharing your struggles and successes and staying accountable through the highs and lows is probably the only way I've managed to stick at this for this long! I don't think it's an overreaction to feel some distress when you can't find an important tool in your tool box for fixing something that affects your physical and mental health. Happy Saturday my lovelies 😘
11/14 146.2 (trend 146.6) Totally knackered from painting the walls and ceiling of a 12' by 15' kitchen 3 times in the last 3 days. Two more coats to do on the walls tomorrow (at least) but just think of the calories burned! It would be great if everyone else in the house took up some of the slack and cleaned up after themselves, as I'm watching the house turn into a pigsty while I'm busy and knowing I'm gonna have to tackle it once I'm done! Gah.
Too tired to cook so it looks like canned soup for dinner, argh, salty!
Sorry for whinging x
11/15 145.0 (trend 146.5) Phew, I'm so relieved to see my weight coming back down again at last! Lesson learnt after a carb fest this week when I'm usually lowish carb. Chips, pizza, naan bread, nachos, chocolate etc, yikes! Oh, and lots of salt! I've been so bloated and uncomfortable, still feeling a bit puffy but much better. Gonna avoid grains and starches for a few days and drink lots of water.
