Day/Weight/Comment
1/7: 189 Eating was ok yesterday, but a bit higher calorie as I was finishing up some leftovers. Not much activity though.
1/8: 188.2 Food was pretty good but did have a couple drinks at the end of the day. Also still not getting much activity. Hopefully can work on that this weekend.
1/9: 188 Was hoping I’d have a bigger water weight whoosh at the beginning of this round, but it’s looking like I might already be in the slower moving phase. Oh well, I’m the only one responsible for where I’m at right now. Eating was alright yesterday, but still struggling on the activity front.
1/10: 188.8 Ugh no explanation for the uptick but hoping it’s just temporary. Made a yummy soup yesterday and got out to walk, despite the cold rain, to get over 9k steps.
1/11: 187.4 Was feeling munchy all day yesterday so was hard to stay on track. Did still manage to keep close to my calories though. Hoping for a good day today.
1/12: 186.2 Was not expecting this. Was over calories yesterday, though still under maintenance. Started stress eating in the afternoon, but managed to reign it in and avoid completely blowing the day. Feeling extra hungry this morning too, so we’ll see how today goes.
1/13: 186.6 Feeling in a bit of a funk. Yesterday was ok (under maintenance), but not great food-wise.
1/14: 187.6 No explanation for the uptick. Hoping to see it go back down before the end of the round.
1/15: 186.2 Glad to see the scale back down today and happy I resisted getting take-out for dinner yesterday after a stressful day. Off to get a haircut today so hoping that puts me in a good mood for the day.
1/16: 186.6 Kept on track yesterday and went for a nice walk so a little disappointed this wasn’t a drop this morning, but at least I made some progress this round. On to the next!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/07 - 147 - I am going to hold myself accountable and log every piece of food I eat this weekend.
01/08 - 147
01/09 - 148.5
01/10 - 150.5 - I had a lot of sodium this weekend, but Wow!
01/11 - 150 - I was hoping yesterday's weight was an anomaly, but evidently not. I'm just going to have to stick to my eating plan.
01/12 - 149 - I've done well the past couple days with eating and movement.
01/13 - 149 - I am really shocked that I evidently gained 2 pounds last weekend. I kept hoping there would be a whoosh back to 147 or so this week. I'll keep logging my food and doing my best to get back to maintenance. I'm a little disheartened, but I've been doing this for almost 4 years and it is worth it.
01/14 - 149.5 - I have logged every bite this week, so I know the weight bump is not from what I've been eating. Sigh.
01/15 - 148 - We had pizza last night, so I pulled out the food scale to get the exact weight and nutrition on my serving. I kept within all my macros and calories so if the scale went up today, I'd know it was just water weight. I'll do the same today in case my weight bumps up tomorrow.
01/16 - 147 - I am happy to be at my starting weight after this week. See you next round!

1/7- 200.4 (-.6) Ohhh! I thought today might be the day. I did swim yesterday, but it was after lunch and I felt so sluggish. I usually swim after a light breakfast. Still, despite the frigid weather, I did it and was really proud of myself. Fridays are usually the day I have my indulgence meal for the week. Lunch with a friend was cancelled so I may not. I haven’t decided yet. Just so close…
1/8- 200.2 (-.8) Argh! I stayed focused yesterday but was still disappointed. I will have my indulgence meal today, so this will bump up again before the next downward slide. Trusting the process.
1/9- 201.8 (+.8) I had my indulgence meal and enjoyed every bit of it. I’m back on track today and hope to be under 200# later this week.
1/10- 201.2 (+.2) Dropping back down after my indulgence meal. No organized exercise today. I did go to Orange Theory yesterday. Still thrilled with how strong I’m getting after swimming and hiking so much.
1/11- 201.2 (+.2) Expecting a whoosh soon. I’ll be swimming today and getting back into my art studio.
1/12- 199.6 (-1.4) Woohoo! Happy dancing and burning extra calories here in Colorado. No organized exercise today…painting with friends. I’ve really focused on getting my water in the last few days and I think that made a big difference.
1/13- 200.2 (-.8) I know it’s going to bounce back a forth a bit before settling below 200#. I am a little disappointed, but on a downward trend. Today is swimming and painting.
1/14- 199.6 (-1.4) Had a great swim yesterday. Today I’m meeting a friend for lunch so I’ll be having my indulgence meal. Another bounce up is in my future. My weight loss has definitely slowed since Christmas and my plan is to tighten up my logging and stay focused on my exercise. I took a week long maintenance break the beginning of October. It was really helpful. I may consider doing another one in February just as a reset.
1/15- 200.2 (-.8) I enjoyed lunch with my friend yesterday and had a really busy day running errands and painting. I got so much done. I’m back on track today, getting all my water. I’ll be out walking with the dogs as it warms up. Tomorrow is Orange Theory and…the last day of this challenge. How did that happen?
1/16- 200.0 (-1.0) Ended up the challenge with a loss, which is fabulous. This next challenge, I really want to stay focused and get back losing a bit more per week.

Round 174
Please join us! Starting on 01/07 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 174
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/07 163.5 ~ {Steps 15,529} ~ Taking one day a time, meditation in the mornings have definitely helped.
01/08 162.6 ~ {Steps 13,452} ~ Today started out rough, getting up early don’t help. The gym session totally helped my mood, woot hoot.
01/09 163.5 ~ {Steps 5,944} ~ Focus Jackie Focus -😭😭
01/10 163.3 ~ {Steps 14,059} ~ Woot hoot a much better day. A yoga session helped last night too.
01/11 163.1 ~ {Steps 13,852} ~ Today was an success with my workouts and diet. Unfortunately although my daughter is feeling worst, she did get test, with the test coming up negative. Time will tell…
01/12 164.5 ~ {Steps 15,228} ~ I don’t understand the gain, my sodium was low and spot on in my diet, 😢😢 Today was a extremely busy day, organizing Xmas decorations, getting spare bedroom/workout organized, made whole wheat zucchini muffins. Also I did make time for some yoga a strength training.
01/13 162.9 ~ {Steps 16,374} ~ Successful day even though my husband wasn’t in the best mood, of course it’s my fault, NOT, lol
01/14 162.5 ~ {Steps 16,564} ~ another rough morning but staying focus was the key. The weather was nice so it helped getting a couple walks in for Pete and Parker. I WILL CONTINUE TO remember I have no control of other people actions.
01/15 162.5 ~ {Steps 16,234 } ~ Today was a successful day, we went out to dinner at our favorite restaurant “Black Bear Diner”. I did only eat half, bringing home some for breakfast.
01/16 163 ~ {Steps TBD } ~

1/07 - 178.8, ave 178.4
Oops—went a little nuts last night. The cold weather makes me crave fats & carbs! Back with a plan today. I just spent 20 min out throwing balls for Rory—it’s 7F (-14C) feels like -8 (-22). Bracing!
1/08 - 179.4, 178.6
Last minute dinner at friends’ place last night threw a big wrench in my tidy calorie plan. Fun, though! So hopefully back on track today. We got up late, so with late breakfast I may skip lunch, and dinner is planned. Now if I can get back to not snacking…. Off to brave the cold —Rory is full of beans and needs a good run.
1/09 - 179.2, 178.7
Time lag. Yesterday was barely over calorie goal, and today is planned. I’m making vegetarian mulligatawny soup for dinner—yummy. Enjoy your Sunday, everyone!
1/10 - 178.8, 178.7
Brrr. ❄️💨🌨 Otoh, the soup was really delish—DH went back for thirds! Everything restarts today—doggy school for Rory, a writing class I’m teaching—so I’m hoping that will leave less time to sit around and munch. 😁 I’ll miss dinner tonight for Rory’s class, so I’m making salmon patties and roasted sweet potatoes for lunch. That should hold me. Stay warm, those of you in the frigid zone!
1/11 - 178.4, 178.6
I think I’ll make Mondays & Tuesdays very low-cal days for the next 8 weeks—Rory has classes at dinner time Mon and lunch time Tues, so if I can just skip those meals…. I did fine last night. We’ll see how it goes.
1/12 - 178.4, 178.5
Ok, two very low calorie days in a row, and today is planned, so hoping for a drop tomorrow.
1/13 - 178.8, 178.5
Aww, come on. Otoh, I did have popcorn and ice cream yesterday. But calories were below target! 😁
1/14 - 177.8, 178.3
Finally! Maybe there’s still hope for a drop this round.
1/15 - 178, 178.1
Happy Saturday! It’s cold here, in the teens, but it looks like the big snow will miss us, so that’s fine. Be safe & healthy, all!
1/16 - 178, 178
Ok, up .1 lb. I’ll call it even. And that’s fine—I did have some high calories days, and last night I binged a bit. Onward! See you next round.2022 Progress

Day/Weight/Comment
01/06 …..194.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/07 …..192.6 ….. (Trend weight 191.9) Diet was about the same but I did get in some more housework type movement. Flooring is very close to being done. Today should be the final day. I worked on packing away Christmas items in some limited areas during the work. That calorie burn clearly made the difference today on the scale.
01/08 …..191.2 ….. Trend weight 191.9) Continued progress which I am grateful for. Again, I did not make any major dietary changes (I’ve been keeping it pretty good under the circumstances), but more movement as I continued to work on Christmas décor and replacing it back with my usual stuff. Floor is 95% done with only some minor work such as moulding replacement etc. to be done. Today my handyman will finish and then begin helping with the Christmas work. Two trees should come down today. I woke up STARVING. I am going to try to stick to some high protein choices and some healthy fat to fill up my belly.
01/09 …..192.2 ….. (Trend weight 191.9) Very nice well-planned meals yesterday. Binge on snacks last night. The uptick is my own fault. I’ll do better today.
01/10 …..194.4 ….. (Trend weight 192.1)A ton of company unexpected last night. Pizza for dinner. Huge leap on the scale. Pushing water today.
01/11 …..192.6 ….. (Trend weight 192.2) Strange. I ate the exact same food as the day before. Same breakfast, same lack of lunch and the same amount of pizza (leftovers) and this time I lost instead of gained. No difference in TMI and no difference in exercise. Hmph. I hope the leftovers don’t catch up to me and wreak havoc again! Dining room getting painted. He’s been working on it a couple of days. It’s looking good and may be completed by today. It’s another temporary project to update things until the full kitchen / diningroom reno.
01/12 …..192.6 ….. (Trend weight 192.2) No change but it was a very reasonable day.
01/13 …..192.8 ….. (Trend weight 192.3) Normal fluctuation on the scale today. A day of travel today for building supplies. Dinner will be out.
01/14 …..194.0 ….. (Trend weight 192.5) The result of the travel, Chinese, and less water and movement than usual. I’ll work on a better day but it will be difficult. Expecting a house full including the handyman that brings his wife and son. Ugh!
01/15 …..194.6 ….. (Trend weight 192.7) Leftovers very late after everyone left. This is spinning out of control. I must take charge. Good thing: Leftovers gone and stocking is empty too.
01/16 …..193.8 ….. (Trend weight 192.8) I am a smidge below starting weight so technically I made goal this round. However, around Oct 21 I had worked very hard to find myself at 185.2. I am still 7.4 pounds up since just before my surgery and the holidays. I have some work to do just to get back to that point, but I’m up for the challenge. Renovations in dining room are complete and has now moved to temporary ones in the living room that will likely last a few weeks. At least the kitchen is complete (for now) and perhaps I can plan better. Tonight I am making dinner for the crew as a special treat. I will watch my p’s & q’s.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Hi, I'm Jen!

Round 173 EW: 01.06.2022 193.8 lbs
Round 174 GW: 01.16.2022 191.8 lbs
01/07: 193 lbs (-0.8)
Going for 2 pounds this round. It's been below freezing, snowy and dark and it's harder to get out for long walks, but I'm staying in the lower end of my calories range, so doable.
01/08: 193.4 lbs (+0.4)
I'm totally OK with a slight bump up. Yesterday was a semi-rest day. Back at it today!
01/09: 194.4 lbs (+1.0)
Ugh. Bad choices yesterday and severely lacked water. Not happy about posting this but I need to be accountable.
01/10: 194.8 lbs (+0.4)
Out of control. Gotta stop the free fall. Bad weekend, too much junk and not enough exercise.
01/11: 194.6 lbs (-0.2)
Well, right direction at least! Not throwing in the towel just yet.
01/12: 193.2 lbs (-1.4)
Phew! Almost back down to before weekend weight. Gotta be more careful on days out if I want to reach my goal.
01/13: 192.4 lbs (-0.8)
Wow, last weekends eating out must have had WAY more sodium than I thought. Down 2.8 pounds in 3 days HAS to be water retention. Good workouts and plenty of water this week helped a ton.
01/14: 192.2 lbs (-0.2)
Expected to be up today but I'll take it. Hoping it doesn't jump up at the end of the round. Happy Friday everyone!
01/15: 190.6 lbs (-1.6)
That is SUPER unexpected. Can't explain the drop. Guess my body really is a wonderland!
01/16: 190.2 lbs (-0.4)
Wow. Good workout and water yesterday. My brain is still having trouble processing that my weight doesn't start with a 2 even though I've been under 200 for almost a month! Maybe it will catch up when I cross the 190 mark. See you all next round!

Day/Weight/Comment
1/07: 148.6 - Had a few extra bites since I was hungry, but stayed within my calories. Aerobics workout and 3 mile walk.
1/08: 148.4 - I’ve been eating back about half of my exercise calories, but the scale seems to be reflecting maintenance. Perhaps my logging isn’t accurate. These last 15 pounds are tough.
1/09: 148.4 - Same ‘ole, same ‘ole. Good exercise, good eating, good sleep.
1/10: 147.3 - Same workout, same lunch and dinner, so-so sleep.
1/11: 147.7 - Good workout plus an extra walk and ate within calories.
1/12: 147.3 - Normal exercise, but only a small walk. Ate back exercise calories.
1/13: 147.3 - Worked out and then did a nature walk at a State Park. Did not drink enough water though.
1/14: 147.3 - Ate just slightly under calories since I wasn’t hungry. Made sure to drink enough water today and did my normal workout.
1/15: 146.8 - Happy to see a small drop. Hoping it holds.
1/16: 146.8 - Didn’t quite make my goal, but happy with my workout habits, eating habits, etc.

01/07 208.6 Well not starting out well at all. Did do day # 7 on the workout video.
01/08 208.8 I gotta quit eating that darn bread. Positive thing today is that I did get in another workout #8.
01/09 207.6 No bread! Controlled snacks! Go in extra walking yesterday. It’s amazing what happens when you try.
01/10 206.6 Wow!! What?! I’ll take it. The scale was wonky this morning so it’s probably wrong but we will see tomorrow. The thought today is Discipline. I need to be disciplined in food choices, water and exercise. Got in more walking yesterday so will try that again today. Also did my workout this morning #10.
01/11 206.6 Yay, yesterday was not a fluke. Ate well and exercised. Today I’ve already got in #11 workout and it’s getting easier.
01/12 206.4 Another good day. #12 low impact workout done.
01/13 206.4 Very tired today because I didn’t sleep well last night. Having some pain issues today but I did do my low impact workout.
01/14 204.4 Wow! I didn’t expect that. I somehow picked up an intestinal bug, we always where masks when out so maybeI didn’t wash some produce well enough. Don’t know but not feeling the best. I still did my workout. Didn’t eat much but what I did was high in calories.
01/15 204.6 Feeling a little better. Still eating cautiously. Did my workout this morning #15. Hooray for me!
01/16 204.6 I had a few snacks yesterday. Slowly feeling better but need not to eat mindlessly. Did workout #16. Best round for me so far, kinda cheated with sickness but hopefully weight will stay down.7 -
@200Karen @IsMollyReallyHungry and others Thank you for your prayers. She was admitted to the hospital, is getting fluids, food and antibiotics. She was feeling somewhat better yesterday afternoon although still weak and tired. Please continue to pray. And THANK YOU 🙏 🙏
@JenKindo Like you “having trouble processing” the 1 on the scale, a dear friend told me I was “tiny” for over a year before I saw a reflection of myself and thought it was someone staring at me. Last summer on my 4 year keto/LCHF anniversary my daughter took the picture of me which is on the right of my profile pic. I still have problems thinking of myself as tiny but getting better. It’s definitely a head game!5 -

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.

1/8 119.5 Ate New Mexican at Carlito’s yesterday, haven’t been there in almost a year. Tasty and half of it is leftover.
1/9 120.0 Ate the leftover - delicious! It’s all good.

1/11 120.0 No TMI x 3 days seems to be the new normal.
1/12 120.0 Next door neighbor’s home COVID test came up positive.
1/13 119.5 Our second baby turned 49 today. No plans since we’ve been exposed to COVID.
1/14 119.0
1/15 119.0 Yesterday was stressful. After I finished reading and posting, I heard a truck door slam. Looked out to see an ambulance at my neighbor’s. She was taken to the hospital (she’s COVID + with heart and lung issues) and now “Covid pneumonia” - I wonder if they checked a sample and determined it is viral pneumonia not bacterial. She thought she had bronchitis and asked the doctor for antibiotics which he denied. Said via tele-appointment that he was sure she had COVID and to rest and “wait it out!” I’m infuriated with the doctor and his apparent nonchalance and her 60 year old daughter is quite upset by this too. If you are a praying person, please do.

1/16 - 146.8 - Just bouncing back and forth. I haven't been great about eating. Hopefully this week things will calm down and I can refocus a little better without so many sudden unexpected changes that force me to make decisions when I'm hungry or in a hurry. Workout done yesterday. Walked around a ton at the estate sale. Today is more of a lazy day though I was up early since BF got guilt-tripped into going hunting so I'm rather sleepy anyway.
Previous Day's Comments1/07 - Body is still holding on to some bloat, but I'm still dropping which I'm happy about. Today is rest day. I also have 2 doc appointments (1 in person women's health, 1 virtual) and apparently we are looking at a house this afternoon. Dinner was corned beef and cabbage chowder which I have plenty of leftovers for today. Between appointments and all, I may stop by the store to grab something for dinner tonight I can make.
1/08 - Not quite enough water, ate out (looking at house took longer than expected and we stopped to check out a local place in the area we didn't know about. It's super adorable, 100% want to visit again), and TMI not quite there. Today is air fryer wings for lunch (I may have a couple plain wings but eat more of that corned beef cabbage chowder). Dinner will be either stuffed pepper soup or homemade chicken and dumplings, depending on how BF work goes (he makes the chicken&dumplings). Workout due today but he has full schedule so I have time to procrastinate. Woke up suuuuuper early for no reason and feeling it so giving myself grace when it comes to energy levels. It's a rainy dreary morning here and quite chilly. Definitely taking this as my lazy day to relax and maybe read more of my book. Unfortunately it's an e-book, but I've had to sacrifice my paper books for sake of space. This house we looked at has built in shelving for books and I LOVE it. My current mini-library is full of mixed media. Some books in a series are paper while others I've had to contend with electronic versions. Drives me batty! (And yes, for those books I love, I'm THAT girl who will buy the paper copy of it even though I already bought the e-book of it. I always wanted a library!) Plus, paper copies are just so much more intimate for me. Mom (who is an author and the reason I'm a book nerd) thinks I'm crazy and has no idea where I get so many particularities with books from. It's not her, so long as it's a book, she's happy, regardless of the medium. Dad's not a book person. I'm also the girl who will very carefully read a paperback as to not crease the spine. And holy moly, do not dog ear or bend pages or write in them, I will LOSE IT. Unless I get secondhand books, of course. Then it's character teehee. Wish I had a secondhand book store here.
1/09 - Interesting. I feel less bloated and lighter today. I was excited to see what the scale said and, surprise surprise! An increase. I'm not worried about it, I'm just happy FEELING lighter, but I was shocked. Dinner this weekend was switched. Work allows Fam and BF some opportunity to get together so we had dinner there last night (smothered pork chops with rice and collard greens) and today we will head over for wings. I've got to get a list together to shop for at least 2 dinners this week and lunch for me. We will have chicken & dumplings and stuffed pepper soup during the week, but need 2 more dinners. Think I'll make myself taco salad for the week and if it's not enough, I'll take dinner leftovers (I mainly need something for tomorrow since I won't have leftovers from Fam)
1/10 - Water back up to normal. Food wasn't the greatest, but not the worst (wings and fries with leftovers for today. Added in some veggies for lunch as well). Tired this morning, for the first time in my life (that I wasn't horribly sick) that I remember, I slept through my alarms. I was so exhausted apparently. My final alarm was the absolutely latest I could wake up and be on time. I spent less time getting ready and gave myself a few minutes to do ground work (pushups, planks) for today's Nerd Fitness workout. I have lunges and rows to knock out at work. Thinking of waiting until the after lunch slump to do those to get my body moving and blood flowing. Hopefully it will keep me from dozing or zoning out. Dinner tonight is chicken & dumplings, BF is attempting to make my dumplings since I'm not home to do it. Leftover will be tomorrow's lunch.
1/11 - Leftover wings (plain) and added steamable veggies for lunch. Plus a banana as "dessert". Dinner was homemade chicken & dumplings. BF successfully made the dumplings! Go him! Water on track, too. Workout was completed during that after lunch slump and worked well. I'm back working from home today due to high covid positive numbers within the company (it's worse than the first round when noone quite knew what to do) and my work this week is all meetings so why go in? Today is leftover chicken & dumplings for lunch and I'll make my stuffed pepper soup for dinner.
1/12 - Likely a dip because I only got in about 60oz water yesterday. I was absent-minded about it due to focusing on work, cooking dinner, and getting house paperwork completed. Whew. Even forgot to eat lunch! I did have a later breakfast, though, so it really counted as an early lunch for me I suppose. Leftover chicken&dumplings or stuffed pepper soup for lunch and I'm not sure of dinner yet. BF said he'd make something up from what we have in the house. Workout due today for NFJourney. All other habits good. Busy busy day, lots of work meetings. Will take a trip to the next town over to pay escrow and option fee today between meetings/over lunch.
1/13 - I'm alright with this, I got my water back up to normal and expected a bump up with that. Last of the chicken & dumplings leftovers for lunch, steak, air-fried "baked" potato, green beans, and steak for dinner. Completed my workout yesterday and packed some of my "extra" stuff I don't need between now and summer (shorts, tanks, swimsuit, my ever-packed beach bag, etc) and my paper books (since I'm currently reading a series on e-book). Not sure dinner tonight, but lunch I'll likely have the leftover stuffed pepper soup. Possibly start packing little stuff from kids' rooms. Our dilemma is whether anything can be tossed now or if we pack it all and make them unpack/purge themselves at the new house. May pack some of our less-used kitchenware today/tomorrow as well. I'm off tomorrow and Monday (while BF works) so I'll have to leave some things for myself to do on those days
1/14 - Feel and look slimmer today, but the scale wants to play games. That's alright. Dinner was a last-minute invite over to Fam's and we had scallop and shrimp alfredo pasta. I skipped the garlic bread (gasp! that's usually my favorite part). Likely why I'm up, though. But I'll take the slimmer look and lighter feel I have waking up this morning. Water was good as well. Not sure tonight, at all, but I imagine we will be at Fam's again for dinner. They're worried this new house is about 30 minutes from where they are now and almost an hour from their land (where they plan to start building their house this year) so we won't hang out as much. Today before I break my fast I have to go get blood drawn in the next town over. I'm not looking forward to that. I need to sneak in my NF workout today somewhere. I'll try to do ground work here as soon as I post and catch up on reading everyone's updates.
1/15 - Not bad for eating out. BF had no ideas for dinner, Fam wanted to go out, and he wanted out of the house. I'm happy with my choices, ate until I was feeling satisfied but not overly full, and enjoyed being outside next to the fire they had. Apparently I didn't check the "Resting" box on Thursday so yesterday was another "rest day" but I did pack the daughter's room and lifted heavy boxes so it wasn't a complete loss. I remembered to check the "resting" box so it'll allow the journey to move forward today to do my NF workout. A daughter of the owner's of the house (who passed away) reached out to us and said how wonderful it was to have veterans move into her parents home as her dad was also a disabled veteran and, like BF, a purple heart recipient. He was in the Korean war. She was suuuuper sweet and it made my heart melt. She lives in Louisiana, but she said her sister, who lives local, is hosting an estate sale today so we are going to attend that and see what there is (plus another look at the house since our agent's anniversary is this weekend and can't bring us to see it now that the general inspection is complete). I thought you all would appreciate such a lovely interaction. Guess our personal letter with the offer really helped!

bold means I dropped by half a cm.
Plugging these into my spreadsheet I get a trendline of 106.2 down to 104.8 cm
Eating: I had a few days when I had a splurge, but I'm doing alright. My average intake since 1st Jan is about 250 kJ above what it should be, that's recoverable in a few days or so.
Exercise: I went for a run only on two days, and managed 8 minutes one day, and 2 the other (I must have been quite tired). I had a headache one day, so I could have run for 9 days. Sadly I didn't.
Sugar: I had sugar 7 days this round, way too often.
Weight loss: I'm losing about 0.35 kg per round right now, not a lot. At the current rate it's going to take about 27 months to lose it all.

**************************************
1/07 141.0 (trend 143.2) Nice to not start a new round on a bounce up for once. Still not managing much activity as I have too much to do at home. I'll try and get out for a walk this weekend. Not having too many cravings which is a surprise after 2 weeks of solid junk food, the only thing I'm missing is my morning coffee which I'm trying to cut out for a while and stick to green tea.
It's my daughter's 18th birthday today, she's my only child so it's a big day for me too. She's now an adult (apparently) which feels very strange. 18yrs as a single parent, we both survived, whoohoo!
1/08 140.8 (trend 142.9) Had a bit of a binge last night, I was bored, hubby is spending the weekend at a mate's, daughter was out at a bar enjoying her new 18yr old status... had a few chocolates and too many salty crackers. Still a loss today but maybe it'll affect me tomorrow.
1/09 141.8 (trend 142.7) As expected, a bounce back up. Also had a very sedentary day yesterday, which didn't help
1/10 140.6 (trend 142.5) A good day, got a lot done in the kitchen reno. I've realised I'm not a strong as I was before I started my weight loss last summer, struggling to lift heavy things on my own. Maybe it's partly because being 40lbs lighter I don't have the weight to counterbalance things with any more although there's definitely some muscle loss and I'm feeling more 'delicate' than I used to. I tend to put on muscle quite easily so could start lifting, used to really enjoy body pump classes but I had visible pecs, large traps, veiny arms and chunky thighs which I didn't like.
1/11 140.4 (trend 142.2)
1/12 139.4 (trend 141.8) Below round goal weight, yay!
1/13 141.0 (trend 141.7) Really bouncing around this round. Had a big meal last night with wine so this uptick is not unexpected but a bit disappointing. Need to catch up with reading everyone's posts from the last few days, pg 8-13
1/14 139.6 (trend 141.4) haven't been logging my food, need to get back in the habit
1/15 140.0 (trend 141.2)
1/16 142.2 (trend 141.4) Big ol gain due to an unplanned but delicious burger and chips, whoops! Not a great round for me, I'm good for a couple of days, then blow it, sigh.8 -

It’s definitely a head game!
Oh, I've avoided pictures my entire adult life! Pretty sure my brain would explode! 🤣
And you look great!3 -
how do you add the 'spoiler' 🧐 to our posts
Does it copy and paste to a word document?
👋 @quiltingjaine glad to read your neighbor was admitted for care
Prayers are continuing
And so agree with your comment ‘I still have problems thinking of myself as tiny but getting better. It’s definitely a head game!’
