Yesterday was a good, on-track day, so this is just time lag from higher calorie days last round. It’s a bright, chilly morning here so I’m bundling up and heading out for a walk with the puppy and a few errands. Then we’ll see what the rest of the day brings! Enjoy!
11-19 - 180.2, Ave 180.2
I don’t think I’ve ever had two days in a row with weight & average identical. Weird! My calories are back down, so I should start to see some loss soon.
11-20 - 179.6, Ave 180.1
Ok, moving in the right direction again. It’s a gloomy, chilly day here, but I’m headed out with the pup in a few minutes. I’ve decided to repaint my office and bought the paint yesterday, so hope to start at least the prep work today—the worst part! Have a great Saturday!
11-21 - 180.4, Ave 180.1
Oh, come on. My calories have been lower the past two days, no snacks yesterday. Time lad and salt? Whatever. Just sticking’ to the plan. Enjoy your day!
11-22 - 179, Ave 179.8
That’s better. Now to keep it below 180! Yesterday I got one wall of my office painted, the hardest one, with two doors. I love the color—a medium-dark green I find very warm and comforting. I have to paint one wall at a time because of moving things around, so it’s fairly disruptive, but it will be worth it. Ok, off for a walk with the pup, then paint a while, then doggy school this evening. Have a good one!
11-23 - 179.6, Ave 179.8
No idea why the bump back up, as my calories were low yesterday, but whatever. I’m paying more attention to my running average these days. All good!
11-24 - 179.6, Ave 179.7
I’m not aiming for any loss the next couple of days, just trying to hold steady with small, high-protein breakfasts and some control at meals, though I plan to enjoy everything I like. 😁 Doing a virtual 5K turkey trot with Rory, my pup.

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.

11/21 120.0 AF Since I have made a conscious effort to reduce alcohol consumption I seem to look for “something” to snack on in the evenings. I didn’t drink a massive amount of alcohol before, a double shot in a quart of SF lemonade or diet tonic.
11/22 119.5 Art Quilts, etc meeting at 9 on the other side of town. I’ll try to come back later.
11/23 120.0 AF surprised it isn’t worse after lunch yesterday regular sandwiches from a grocery store like nothing fancy potato chips two kinds of fluff dessert and coleslaw not exactly what I would call sandwiches and salad. Wish I’d taken a salad and put the meat on it that was on the sandwichs. IMHO very expensive. Could NOT go to sleep so got up and finished a book. Sleep at 1:30, up at 6:25 Finally caught up on posts.

Hi all, this is my second round, hoping to lose lots of weight, its a great help! 😀

Day/Weight/Comment
11/18/ 174/ long day, had to do alot of driving didn't have time to eat till late, had a small cottage pie 300cals and a small pancake, lots of tea and coffee. Didn't have time to take supplements.
11/19 / 173/ lost a pound, so happy 😊 taking adios tablets today, legs really hurt from youtube vid exercise two days ago, going to have hot bath, had to drive for over an hour today. I really feel I can keep this diet going, already lost 9 pounds, first benchmark of a stone lost is just five pounds away. I can do it this week! Motivation stays strong.
11/20/ 174/ don't understand why it went up, but its not going to just drop off over night, will try not to worry and keep going, only thing with any calories or carbs I ate today was a sausage roll. Cut down on my milky drinks, no more limitless cups of tea and coffee. Got this far in the day without hunger pangs making me snack, so doing well.
11/21/ 172/ down two pounds from round start, up early doesn't help snacking, felt my blood sugars where slightly low so had a biscuit and a proper dinner, was visiting parents so couldn't resist a home cooked meal made by mum. Still kept to my limit, drove 1 hr today so couldn't be bothered to excersise tonight, nothing planned for supper, so will have lots of camomile/ green/ spiced tea and look forward to weigh in tomorrow.
11/22/ 172/ just realised my scales do a point, I've been working it out from stones in my head, dafty! 😅 Will have decimals tomorrow. Going in right direction anyway, plan on doing 15 minutes on exersise bike today, and ate a banana for breakfast, pie and potatoes planned for dinner, not much protein, so I'll have extra chicken, and a few slices of ham. Bring on tomorrow's weigh in everyone, let's do this! No pain no gain, I've got to exercise more. Got pedometer but needs battery, so that to sort out, soon be counting steps.
11/23/ 172.4 / staying steady in weight last three days, don't know how my eating today will affect tomorrow had a blow out today with cinema popcorn and restaurant Xmas Dinner. Nervous for tomorrow's weigh in. 😬
11/24/ 175.0/ up since yesterday, no big surprise, hope the wheels aren't coming off, but I think I'll do better from tomorrow, lots of exersise planned.

11/19-168- Glad to be in the 160’s but today I need to make my experimental batch of rolls.
And boy, I feel like an old lady-Its hard to find this group now. 😬
11/20-168-Didn’t like the rolls, but found another recipe I’ll try. Have a nice weekend everyone!
11/21-168-Whew-I figured out a good roll recipe and ate three, oops! I kept moving all day.
11/23-168-Things are pretty much ready for Thanksgiving...I’ve been having to check each night to see if I have to report to jury duty, but so far, so good. Ran errands, rode the horse and yard work.
11/25-169-Lots of prep to do today. Also going to meet and visit a different stable for my horse....it feels like taking your kid out of a school where his best friends are, and moving him to the one that will be best for you both. I am excited to see our boys (23 & 25) today!8 -

18: 217.6 ♀️ THERE it is. Great way to start off a new round.
19: 217.2 ♀️ Last night, my kids and I finished off the last of the high calorie bacon cheeseburger soup I made earlier this week. I had to guess on the macros. Not sure if I stayed within my calories or not, but I logged it the best I could. Next time, I'll create a recipe on here, so I can track it better. Going for a float session with a friend of mine this afternoon. It's been months since I've gone, so I'm really looking forward to it.
20: 215.9 I love seeing this progress! Logging my food is the "magic" key for me, along with checking in here daily. I'm very excited to see where I'll be by the end of this round!
My float session yesterday was great. I'm hoping to start going once a month. Need to wait to see if it's in my budget for December. If not, I'll start in January.
21: 215.3 Game day today, and it's a big one, so there will likely be a bump up tomorrow because of food and drinks. I intend to indulge in moderation.
22: 214.4 The friend I was supposed to be going out to watch the game with had something else come up, so I watched the game alone at home. Saved myself some money and calories.💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
23: 214.9 🥚 Day 1 of 7. I hope to keep the daily increases that typically happen for this week every month in check. Heading to the gym now. Started a 50 squat/day challenge today. Also want to get back to fascia blasting, even if it's only 5 minutes a day.
24: 215.2 🥚 Well below calories yesterday. Macros and water intake were good too. I was kind of hoping that I could offset the hormone gain. Oh well, at least it's minimal. Went to the gym. Forgot my 5th set of squats until I was already settled into bed. Still did 40 more than I normally do. Lol
The disagree stalker has now been banned from MFP Community Forums. The person who's been helping with this was pretty shocked that the person did not heed the previous warnings. Sounds like it's not very common to have to completely ban someone from the forums. Glad that's done with.

11/24 - 151.6 - Managed to drop the sodium weight off. Late posting because I started baking early: homemade Texas Roadhouse rolls, homemade Hawaiian rolls, 2 different gluten-free artisan breads (I wasn't confident the almond flour would even hold shape it was so watery and the cassava flour I needed to double the water just to get it in a doughy consistency), and pecan pie. By the time I'm done baking the hawaiian bread and texas roadhouse rolls, the other artisan bread will be done rising and ready to be formed for baking. Tomorrow, while BF bakes the ham, I'll be making one dozen normal deviled eggs and one dozen cayenne pepper deviled eggs. Whew. Busy busy. Need to catch up on posts as well as water, I'm a tad behind from having my hands covered in various doughs all morning kneading them! The worst is over, now it's the oven's job with my supervision to finish it all off.

Previous Day's Comments11/18 - Welp. TOM came unexpectedly a week and a half early. Just in time for race day. Dinner was a tad heavy, homemade a chicken, tomato, spinach, rice and turmeric dish with homemade naan bread that Fam made. I'm right at maintenance calories, maybe a tad over. Water was good, full 90oz. At this point, my body is all kinds of wonky. I'm feeling heavy, but I'm not looking overly bloated so I'm going to guess that's the functions of TOM, particularly with these new meds and being off-schedule. Why does my body have to make this so complicated?! Especially difficult because I'm waiting for January to fall under my work's health insurance. The VA does not offer my meds in their system (I'm currently on trial pack, but if I need to adjust dosage, I have to get from a pharmacy and I can't afford without insurance).
11/19 - At least I'm back out of the 150s. My body is on strike or something, I have no clue what's going on. I wonder if it's stress/anxiety plus TOM really messing me up? Likely is. Once this race is over tomorrow, I'll probably feel better. I don't know why I get so anxious for this type of stuff. Oh well, it's happening whether I like it or not. Hopefully tomorrow I'll wake up feeling less bloated and heavy. No scale so we will have to check in Sunday.
Edit to note: TMI is still all over the place. This also may be a HUGE factor in all this. Especially the "heavy but not quite bloated" feeling I've been having.
11/20 - 5k Race, out of town.
11/21 - First things first: 38:24. 1:03 slower than 6 years and a back surgery ago. Not bad! I'm quite happy. Now, the weight. Hormones still going crazy with fluctuations. TMI still not cooperating and getting on schedule. DOMS are kicking my butt (waddle waddle), eating out because we weren't home until late, and not quite enough water because driving and not having many places to stop for a restroom. Bad news: I think I sprained my ACL. FamWife is recreational therapist but obviously has some medical background for her certification and she said either ACL or meniscus but after doing research, I'm thinking more ACL due to the location. I've had patellofemoral syndrome every time I've run and this pain is vastly different. Deeper inside the knee, sharper, and it makes it feel like a bubble inside my knee causing it to be difficult and painful to bend or straighten it. Similar to Halloween knee pain, but that onset hours after the run and went away by the next day. This onset during the run and is still painful today. And it was more painful than Halloween's pain. Other bad news? I because of the potential for it to be ACL, I need to take it easy and get lots of rest. No long walks with the pup, no exercises that include the legs. Just slow movement to keep it from locking up, rest, ice, and elevation. Joy. Getting this uptick off me is going to strictly be food and water intake. Must behave for the rest of the week leading up to Thursday's Thanksgiving feast. Joy. I think I can do it, though. I'm not giving up, that's for sure.
11/22 - Yippee, I was worried it'd take a few days to see any kind of drop. Still sore, I can tell by my roll-out-of-bed waddle haha! Knee has reduced to a dull ache (rather than sharp pain) but that doesn't mean anything. I thought it was just sore Halloween and when pain went away the next day I forgot about it. Obviously it didn't finish healing by Saturday when it flared up. At least I don't have another 5k scheduled until September (another Guinness World Record Attempt!) so I can rest it up. I think I'll focus on rowing in the next few weeks once I'm a little more healed up for a low-impact workout. Will hold off on walking the pup until after Thanksgiving. I'll take it day by day and see how I feel before jumping into anything. Water was amazing yesterday, over 100oz. Back at it today with flushing this uptick out. Need to go grocery shopping to try to avoid the Tuesday/Wednesday rush. I'm set to make my homemade bread, rolls, deviled eggs, and pecan pie for Friendsgiving with Fam. Will also stock up the house for lunch and dinner Monday-Wednesday.
11/23 - Sodium bump from homemade shrimp and steak fried rice with egg rolls. I didn't get overly full like I usually do at dinner which was progress. Water at 90oz. Not much movement. I've been a part of this group, Nerd Fitness Academy, for years. I haven't used it because I hated using their web-based system (good system, but hated that I had to have access to my computer to do anything). Well, yesterday I found out they have an app! WITH REMINDERS. Whoot! So my phone will remind me daily to check in (very necessary when motivation wanes or brain forgets). They have lots of "journeys" such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, daily habits, etc. I've already unlocked "daily tasks" as well to slowly improve in general. They focus on small habit changes over a long period of time. Learned today for goals: it's not an on/off switch (turn it off when things get tough) but, instead, a dial. What is 10/10? (example: work out for 1/2 hour 4x a week), what is 1/10? (park at the back of the parking lot and walk inside), and what is 5/10? (go for a 20 minute walk every other day) so that even on our toughest, craziest, busiest days, we can still do SOMETHING in the right direction of our chosen goal (object in motion stays in motion, definitely nerding out here). I just wanted to share in case the "Dial" might help someone else who, like me, struggles and flips that switch off a tad too often. I'm going to do my best to follow the dial method now.

RGW: 151.7 pounds (-2 pounds)
Day/Weight/Comment
11/18: 153.7 - Only a short walk yesterday, but ate within calories
11/19: 154.5 - Normal workout, did takeout for dinner and ate 1/2 portion.
11/20: 155.0 - I can’t see any obvious reason for uptick in weight other than perhaps sodium. Calories and exercise have remained the same.
11/21: 153.4 - I’ll take it!
11/22: 152.6 - I’ll take it again! Something I still haven’t internalized is that what I eat/drink generally takes two days to show up on the scale.
11/23: 153.9 - Had Indian food take out last night for the first in a long time. So delicious, but I’m sure heavy on the fat, carbs and salt.

11/17 …..189.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/18 …..190.6 ….. (Trend weight 189.7) I’m a hot mess. Doctor called yesterday in regards to my blood work from last week’s PCP appointment. , Such low sodium that she is prescribing some type of medication for it (that explains the foot cramps), A1C 11.8, more diabetic medication being prescribed to go with what I am already taking, thyroid numbers bad again and medication will have to be increased. Atorvastatin is now going to be prescribed for my LDL cholesterol. I am thankful that some weight loss (original weight was 253) has helped me, especially in regards to my cancer remission. However, I have not done enough. And going backwards is causing my health improvements to do the same. What a horrible time for this to happen with all the upcoming holidays in the next (nearly) two months! But it’s now or never. I’ll take all those new pills but they will be bitter pills to swallow. I’ve got to start getting even more serious TODAY. I know what is needed.
11/19 …..190.8 ….. Trend weight 189.8) Unexpected travel yesterday yielded lots of sitting, only 5000+ steps and a restaurant meal. I’m glad I’m only up 0.2 but will it show up in the coming days? Time will tell……
11/20 …..190.2 ….. (Trend weight 189.8) I rolled up my sleeves and am ready to put in the work. A nice drop this morning.
11/21 …..187.6 ….. (Trend weight 189.5) Over 2.5 pounds down overnight which was a shock. I did expect a drop because TMI finally cooperated though leaving me cramped. I know I am probably dehydrated after such an eventful night so when I push water today it may lead to an uptick. I feel that if I have a good day today, tomorrow will show my true numbers. Meals were on point but snacks….notsomuch! I’ll work harder on the snack part today. I have healthy ones here, I just need to eat them and forget about the stuff that my daughter and DGS have here!
11/22 …..188.4 ….. Trend weight 189.4) I feel this is my true weight as I think I was a bit dehydrated yesterday after such a big overnight drop. Meals were good yesterday, snacks could have been better again. Exercise level was pretty low. I am glad to see that my trends have began to go down again for the past couple of days so I want to keep up that momentum. I’ve got to push myself to log all my food daily. It really does make a difference! I added a pinch of Himalayan Pink Salt to my night time routine to stop the cramping in my feet until my low sodium meds arrive.
11/23 …..187.2 ….. (Trend weight 189.2) TMI helped with this drop on the scale. Yesterday was pretty good on the dietary front, but again, I KNOW it could have been better. Today I travel and that never helps. I’ll try to choose carefully, eat half and bring the rest home. Also, no goodies in none of the bags. I’ll have my “goodies” during Thanksgiving dinner which we have planned for Sunday. Happy to see the trend still going down for the 3rd day in a row.
11/24 …..189.6 ….. (Trend weight 189.2) Eating while traveling is never the same control as home exactly but I did watch my portions. The dessert was not even necessary or good for me so I definitely deserve this uptick. I will try for an extra good day today and not let my emotions guide me. My 54 year old brother is in the hospital right now. He’s been having multiple serious problems due to liver issues that is going into liver failure. It doesn’t look good. To say I am crying a river today would be an understatement. Please, please prayers for Jeff.

Round Goal: 142.0 lbs, with the American Thanksgiving holiday taunting me next week
UGW: 135.0 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
11/18: 143.6
11/19: 143.0. I have just very slightly entered the "normal" BMI range (yay!). For many years, I have yo-yo'd up and down in the overweight range, towards the lower part of that range for a decade or so. I'm glad I've made it and I wish I knew why, this time, I have lost the weight. Certainly, mfp makes it easy to count calories (compared to long ago), but I have been on this site since 2013, so mfp's ease of counting calories is not the reason (although an amazing tool!). Onward to a few more pounds lower!
11/20: 142.9. Not too much excitement around my house right now, just getting the house cleaned for the Thanksgiving celebration next week.

11/18 - 158.4 I'm not getting much exercise right now. I need to figure that out; I used to jog ~ 3x/week. My back isn't quite healed (I tried jogging a couple days ago) and work + other commitments are keeping me busy. . . .Weather isn't inspiring, but I've managed to jog all year long before. More or less.
11/19 - 160.0 A bit disappointing, but could be water from salty food or the previous weekend catching up to me.

Goal for this round: Maintain weight while continuing to focus on strength training and running
Previous days11/18 Scale is still being weird. Did a nice recovery run this morning clocking in at 5.75 miles and an average of 11:42/mile. I’m now at my cousin’s place watching his English bull dogs until Sunday. I have brought lots of healthy foods with me and will be making myself chili (I have been craving it for weeks now) tomorrow for dinner. Dinner tonight will be Amy’s frozen Indian meals with a piece of naan. Breakfast and lunch was also on point today as well. I’m hoping my body and scale sort out the wonkiness so I can get a decent reading on the scale again. On the bright side, my running is getting better 😊.11/24 The salt is still sticking around. Went out for a chilly 6 mile run this morning and did my strength workout during lunch. Breakfast was a large smoothie, lunch was a protein shake and an ounce of cheese and dinner will be homemade pizza (made the dough last night). I’m excited for the pizza because I’ll be able to know exactly what I’m eating and still be able to fit it into my day without going over on calories. Tonight after dinner will be busy with prepping some of the Thanksgiving items. Tomorrow will definitely be a splurge but as long as it’s one day, it shouldn’t kill me. Then, I’ll just continue to eat sensibly on Friday and throughout the weekend. I’m looking forward to the goodies and the time with family.
11/19 Did not post
11/20 Went for an epic run yesterday and a nice long slow run this morning. Did not weigh, still at my cousin’s place watching his two bull dogs. Food has been great and I even had a non scale victory of not eating this salted caramel blondie thing that’s here. I realized how much one serving was and realized it wasn’t worth the calories because it was about 200 calories for 1.5 oz. Instead of the brownie I had a serving of full fat plain yogurt (120 calories) with one of the peanut butter cookies(90 calories) I made and a tbs of the chocolate hazelnut butter (100 calories) for a total of 300ish calories and a whole lot more satisfying than 4 bites of a brownie.
Breakfast today: prerun- 2 raspberry zucchini corn muffins post run-full fat plain yogurt, honey crips apple, tbls chocolate hazelnut butter, 2 flourless peanut butter cookies plus a scoop of protein powder in water on the side. Lunch is going to be leftover chili and mac and cheese. Dinner will be a veggie miso broth based soup with a couple of eggs.
11/21 Did not weigh. Rest day. Headed home from dog sitting. Food has been good today but I just feel hungry in general even though I’ve eaten a amount of calories. I think I’m more hungry because I had less sleep this weekend than I normally get.
11/22 117.8 Post workout. Finally, back at I number I don’t mind seeing. Those 120 readings were making me nervous. I ran 6 miles this morning and plan to do my strength workout today during my lunch break. Breakfast was a strawberry beet smoothie (frozen strawberries, 1 small beet, frozen peaches, pumpkin seeds, peanuts, ginger, and coconut water), lunch will be akmak crackers with tahini and a drizzle of honey with an apple and maybe an ounce of cheese, and then dinner will be about 8oz of marinated skirt steak in a bulgogi marinade and the side will be brown rice, broccoli and carrots. Feeling good! Happy Monday everyone!
11/23 Salty dinner last night, ended up getting Thai takeout. Made a batch of dandelion tea to help with some of the water retention and have been siping on that and drinking a lot of water today. Making the steak tonight for dinner that’s been marinating since Sunday afternoon. Got in a nice slow/recovery run in this morning and kept my heart rate lowish/in the aerobic zone. Starting to get my to-do list for Thanksgiving together and figuring out the best timing to do some of the steps for the different dishes I’m making. I’m making my grandmother’s Canadian stuffing that has potatoes, white bread and the typical onions and celery but it also has summer savory instead of sage as the main herby flavor. Then I’ll be making mashed butternut squash and cranberry sauce.
Also wanted to say, I am so grateful for this group! Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating tomorrow!

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.

11/18 - 192.4 / Frigid winds here right now are making my walks interesting. Hit my 10K steps last night by completing the last bit inside. Making it work!
11/19 - 192.4 / Had a tofu bowl meal my husband wouldn't have liked before he got home from business last night and did a whole wide range of exercise. A good day. Eating at maintenance today for my mom's birthday celebration.

11/22 - 193.8 / Husband and I did a hike that was just over 10K in the deep snow yesterday. A great workout. We followed it with a nice dinner out but choices remained within calorie limit.

Hello! I’m new to the forums. I am a 29 year old female, 5’7. I originally lost weight in 2015 (~190 > ~145) with calorie tracking and experimenting with different types of exercise. I eventually settled into a strength training routine and have been in maintenance mode for several years. I am lifting stronger than ever… but I’ve been ignoring the “cardio” sections of my workout programming, have let my diet get lax (I’m an ICU nurse and donuts, donuts everywhere as everyone’s idea as a morale boost in COVID era), and noticed my clothes were starting to feel a bit snug… so, I started tracking again about 1 month ago with a starting weight of 156.6lb
Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day (I switched to a primarily vegetarian diet a few years ago while I wasn’t tracking food and have had to make a conscious effort to get my protein intake up over the past month), avoid added sugars, add 20-30 minutes of HIIT or rowing on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days)

11/22 150.0 Scale hasn’t moved much over the past few days. I’m coming off working 3 long, stressful days. I got my Covid booster shot this morning, but managed to get my meal plan for the week, grocery shopping, a 3 mile walk with the dog, 20 minutes of HIIT, and a hefty pull day in before I started to feel icky from the shot. Dinner was spicy roasted chickpeas and carrots with farro and baked tofu. Protein: 136g
11/23 150.6 Diet has been really clean, so not too worried about scale. Slept pretty poorly with my sore Covid arm. Got in 3.5 mile walk, 30 minutes of rowing, and heavy leg day. Feeling sore from pull day yesterday. Went out to eat for the first time in a while before doing a safari lights walk at the zoo. Protein: 140g
11/24 150.8 45 minutes yoga, 30 minutes hit, push day for weights. There’s a potluck at work for thanksgiving tomorrow and I prepped a roasted sweet potato, wild rice, and pomegranate arugula salad to take + some for dinner. NBA game tonight. Protein: 127g

Round 169 (101st for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.
I am pleased that I got back on track last round. There is only 37 days to Christmas !! So I'd like to lose 5 pounds for then, that is only 5.5 weeks, a pound a week or 1.4 pounds per round. I know it will be tight, with pre-Christmas activities, but I'm going to persevere and give it a go. Feeling already better about the dress I want to wear for the start of December for Peaky Blinders dance night. I need to remain binge free, but at the end of the day – 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!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/18 134.4 – a nice drop to start the round. 11.03 miles walked yesterday, an hours yoga and an hours dance class, good food choices, all calories and macros well within limits.
11/19 135 – 9.72 miles walked yesterday, good food choices, calories well under, carbs 8 over.
11/20 134.2 – 12.54 miles yesterday, 2 hours dancing session, only sat out around 3 records, it was a really good workout; had to have a shower when I got home !! Calories in credit, but carb & fat 34 & 9 over respectively.
11/21 134.2 – 14.6 miles walked yesterday, all calories & macros well in limit.
11/22 134.6 - 6.46 miles walked yesterday, hence 242 calories & 67 carbs over, but no binge.
11/23 134.6 – 10.06 miles walked yesterday, all calories & macros well in credit. It never ceases me to amaze me how I can put on 2-3 pounds by over eating for 2 days, but eat well under calories for more than those days and the scale barely moves! There is no justice in this !! And that I think is what makes so many people disheartened, but keep the faith and keep going!!
11/24 133.6 – 10.2 miles walked yesterday, then helping my sister in her newly purchased bungalow that she is renovating; we cleaned down the woodwork today after the plasterer had redone all the walls & ceilings; hard work !! She fed me, very tasty Thai soup, but when I entered it in MFP the sodium content was off the scale !! I would like to maintain this weight for tomorrow, will be chugging water all day to flush it out!
11/25 133.6 – 10.13 miles yesterday, calories well in credit, carbs 12 over, pleased yesterdays number stayed.
