My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 61 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s
Starting Weight (from February 28th): 198.2
Goal: 193.2 (Five lb Loss)
**************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************
03/01…...196.6…..(Trend Weight 196.5)….. Good luck to everyone this round.
03/02.…..197.4…..(Trend Weight 196.6)….. Late night snacks were over the top and just too much at once and at all.
03/03.…..196.2…..(Trend Weight 196.6}….. The well company made an adjustment and we’re hoping the bladder is okay. So I didn’t have to put out the extra $900 yesterday. Let’s hope this works! An average day yesterday with food and exercise/movement yet there is a drop. I just keep bouncing back & forth and my inconsistencies are showing up on the scale with inconsistent weights. Perhaps that will speak to me loud enough.
03/04.…..196.0…..(Trend Weight 196.5)….. I stress ate a little last night due to trouble with the 4 year old DGS. I’ve raised 4 children and have never seen anything like this. It’s no wonder my daughter is in the depressed, anxious and fragile state that she is in. Things have got to get easier for us in this house!
03/05.…..198.2…..(Trend Weight 196.7)….. A whole new level of stupid. Yes, I am talking about me! Meals were very good. Snacks were over-the-top and likely related to boredom as I finally had a bit of time to myself.
03/06.…..197.0…..(Trend Weight 196.7)….. My weight was sorta bouncing up & down on the scale from 197.0 to 197.4 but finally timed out on 197.0. It will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings. Clearly I am still going up & down so regularly that even my scale is confused (and that never happens!) Very low calorie burn yesterday due to online shopping all day. I’ll have to make an extra effort today to somehow get moving! Have a good Sunday everyone.
03/07.…..198.0…..(Trend Weight 196.8)….. Very good quantities yesterday but the choices weren’t the greatest. Lots of housecleaning movement. I turned a lazy day into something productive. I will make better choices today because obviously that and no TMI affected me.
03/08.…..197.8…..(Trend Weight 196.9)….. I don’t think I’m eating enough or well enough at dinner. My snacks are reasonable (in most cases) but too many. Also, I’ve been staying up a bit later for time to myself (read, catch up on TV etc) so more time for snacks. I will have to plan better.
03/09.…..197.8…..(Trend Weight 197.0)….. I kicked the handyman out earlier than usual. After having a friend visit for the early evening, I made dinner for a different family friend, DD and DGS. It was delicious and I kept my portions within good limits. It was a very nice day overall. Extra steps cleaning up that kitchen!
03/10.…..198.0…..(Trend Weight 197.1)….. No TMI and I know that would help the scale. A good day overall yesterday but very little calorie burn due to having company most of the day. Lots of time at the kitchen table.
03/11.…..198.0…..(Trend Weight 197.2)….. A much better well-planned day yesterday dietary-wise. Low level movement however. Sleep and bathroom duty both slightly better. No change on scale but it should be coming.
03/12.…..199.2…..(Trend Weight 197.4)….. Ut oh. Looks like I’m going to get pretty hungry today because I will NOT go back to 200. Very odd though. Yesterday was another pretty good eating day honestly. I think this very low level movement is really hurting my efforts.
03/13.…..198.6…..(Trend Weight 197.5)….. I had a super stressful day yesterday and today will not likely be much better. No sleep last night plus the loss of an hour due to daylight savings time. However, I had a good past few days and I knew it would catch up to the scale at some point. I appreciate the drop. It’s encouraging.
03/14.…..198.2…..(Trend Weight 197.6)….. I don’t want to seem ungrateful. A drop on the scale is always welcomed and nice. But I am feeling like I’m wallowing around in the same mud hole lately. I’ve got to break this 198 thing and get going! I’ll be so happy this coming summer that I did! Come on Donna. You can do this!
03/15……199.0…..(Trend Weight 197.7)….. A light breakfast, no lunch, out to dinner with son & his friend. Had a brisket sandwich, no sides, with water. 1 pc sugarfree candy last night. A gain! What has this yo-yo-ing done to my metabolism? Yikes….. Back to square one.
03/16……199.8…..(Trend Weight 197.9)….. Well, I just can’t get much closer to 200 than this. Chinese yesterday. I have leftovers for today. Every other bite in my mouth will have to be carefully thought out.
03/17.…..199.8…..(Trend Weight 198.1)….. No change in diet = no change on scale. I ended up taking my new tenant (from my brother’s cabin) out to dinner, which meant restaurant food, yet again. He is a young man on the Autism spectrum (like my son) who is venturing out on his own for the first time. He wanted a meeting to set the ground rules and to “adult”. His parents live on the same street so this could work well. It was hard to rent out this house that I had rented to my brother for so many years before his death. Today will be that leftover Chinese I didn’t get to.
03/18.…..198.8…..(Trend Weight 198.2)….. TMI was helpful. Yesterday was not the best of days with left over Chinese and other things I could have done without. I did have more steps overall for the day.
03/19.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)….. Up about 4 hours earlier than usual this morning and was guzzling coffee before I realized I forgot to weigh. A broken routine this morning in every way. It’s going to be a rough day with very little sleep.
03/20.…..198.4…..(Trend Weight 198.4)….. Relieved. My diet was about the same (so-so) but I did get in my 10,000 + steps.
03/21.…..198.0…..(Trend Weight 198.3)….. My trend weight went down a touch and for that I am very happy. Up early posting this morning and then I will be doing a travel day which is much further than usual. I am picking up something from facebook marketplace which is between 3 and 4 hours away (each way). Taking my handyman and there will be lunch or dinner out mid-state. Lots of sitting today so I don’t expect it will be that great tomorrow on the scale, but I will just keep working on it.
03/22.…..199.8…..(Trend Weight 198.4)….. Golden Corral for dinner during travel. I am aiming for a slim day today.
03/23.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)…..

I'm Beth, I'm back, I'm fat and I'm tired of myself. So... I've been doing challenges for awhile but for the last 5 months I've totally lost my way, even with that. As of last week, I'm now closer to 64 than 63. I'm mom to adult twingles. I enjoy riding my bike, used to enjoy "running" until I got lonely. I'm not a super-extrovert, but I like to have someone to talk to sometimes and nobody I know is as slow as I am. Same kind of goes with biking. My bike and I are outclassed in every way. And I've turned into a whiny little *kitten* the past few days. So, two of my new goals are to get out of my funk and to stop using food as a crutch for everything that doesn't seem to be going my way (like cars, emotions, rent, etc).
My regular goals include (from most difficult to the easiest)
🚦 Getting started
🥤 Drinking more water than diet soda
🥅 Staying within my calorie limits
📚 Making sure I get some “me time”
😅🚶♀️🏃🏻♀️🚴🏻♀️ Exercising more
📔 Tracking every meal
⚖️ Weighing daily is a given for me, so this will be the easiest one for me. My primary goal right now is just go DOWN again.
Highest Weight: Somewhere between 227-230... I don't know. I avoided the scale.
Return to MFP after ~ 5-6 year absence (June 11, 2020) = 216.9
Lowest weight since I started in June 2020 = 177.4 (9/19/21) - been climbing ever since...
Final weight from last month's challenge (February 28, 2022) = 200.2
Starting weight for this challenge (March 1, 2022) = 199.8
March 01- ⚖️ 199.8 (-0.4 from yesterday) - 🚶♀️📚 - didn't track dinner. I know what I ate, and it put me way over. Starting the month off with a bang.
March 02- ⚖️ 200.8 (+1.0) - 🚶♀️📚📔
March 03 - ⚖️ 200.8 (+0.0) - 🚶♀️📚📔
March 04 - ⚖️ 200.6 (+0.0) - 🚶♀️📚 - I met Cary Elwes tonight. *swoon* and *squeeeee* (Yes, I'm old... but I'm still a fangirl of certain movies/shows. The Princess Bride is one of them. Hahaha). He is handsome, charming, funny, kind, and came across as a genuinely nice and likeable man. I also watched The Princess Bride in the 92 year old theater where I saw my first movie ever ("That Darn Cat!") in 1965. It was a wonderful end to a generally s****y day.
March 05 - ⚖️ 200.2 (+0.0) - 📚 - Yeah, today was another generally s****y day... without the wonderful ending.
March 06 - ⚖️ 200.4 (+0.2) - 🚶♀️📚 - blah.
March 07 - ⚖️ 199.8 (-0.6) - 🚶♀️📚📔
March 08 - ⚖️ 201.0 (+1.2)
March 09 - ⚖️ 200.8 (-0.2)
March 10 - ⚖️ ???? I know I weighed myself. Running late and forgot to log it. Thinking back, it was around 201.6 or so (written 3/13/22)
March 11 - ⚖️ 201.0 (+0.2 up from 3/9/22 or -0.6 from what I think yesterday's weight might have been)
March 12 - ⚖️ 201.6 (+0.6)
March 13 - ⚖️ 201.2 (-0.4)
March 14 - ⚖️ 201.2 (-0.4)
March 15 - ⚖️ 202.4 (+1.2)
March 16 - ⚖️ 202.2 (-0.2)
March 17 ☘️ - ⚖️ 202.2 (-0.0)
March 18 - ⚖️ 201.8 (-0.4)
March 19 - ⚖️ 202.8 (-1.0)
March 20 First day of Spring! 🌷 - ⚖️ 203.2 (+0.4)
March 21 - ⚖️ 202.6 (-0.6)
March 22 - ⚖️ 203.3 (+0.7)

Heaviest weight: 293 (1/28/21)
Current weight: 167.8
March weight lost so far: 8.6
Daily Goals:
🌱64 oz water
🌱At least 7.5 hours sleep
🌱Intentional exercise of at least 20 minutes daily
🌱Eat at or under my calorie goal and track every single bite
March 01 - 176.4 (The first day of March is here with the sun shining bright. Looking forward to a lunchtime walk and an after work Peloton ride.)
March 02 - 176.2 (And we're off! The Peloton ride yesterday was fantastic as I redid my FTP test and saw big improvements. I am dragging a bit to get on the bike after work but I'm just going to go down there and get it done!)
March 03 - 176.4 (Snow and cold is back. Instead of my lunchtime walk I did my shoveling. I rode the Peloton before work... my new zones after my FTP test will take some getting used to! Felt like great exercise. Hockey game out tonight will consist of unknown food + drink.)
March 04 - 173.4 (Fun time at the hockey game and only went 68 calories over my plan which was great considering the opportunity that was on the table to go way overboard. My dad gets in today for 10 day visit so my normal routine will be slightly disrupted.)
March 05 - 174 (Woke up early and PR'd on the Peloton for my 60 minute time. Off to see The Batman this afternoon.)
March 06 - 174 (Sun is shining. Looking to walk today and ride my Peloton. Also going to my friend's kid's 3rd birthday party.)
March 07 - 173.2 (Peloton ride and walk are done. My husband is making a few delicious proteins on the BBQ. Life is good.)
March 08 - 172.6 (Sunshine filled day but lots of ice on the sidewalks. Still managed to get out for two chilly walks. I missed my Peloton ride this morning so I may end up taking a rest day off the bike if I can't find a good opportunity to get on tonight with my Dad being here right now.)
March 09 - 171.2 (Started the day with a super hard Peloton ride and then I've been busy with work since. Did slip out for a walk at lunch. I have a social meal with coworkers tonight that I'll have little control of the food for. It will be great company!)
March 10 - 170.6 (Off work today to spend some time with my dad and brother. Celebrating my dog's second birthday tonight with a family supper.)
March 11 - 170.8 (Weather is warming again which feels so nice. Today's exercise was to focus on hitting my 10,000 steps, which I've exceeded already. Looking forward to spending more quality time with Dad this weekend before he goes back home on Monday.)
March 12 - 169.8 (Long ride for the week done first thing and now I'm enjoying a hot tub in the sun. Spring feels so close!!! Off to Banff for an overnight later today.)
March 13 - 170.6 (Chose to use our downtime at the hotel wisely to walk around the town of Banff twice. Had a great time with family and didn't overdo it at the buffet dinner.)
March 14 - 171.8 (My dad flew home this morning so it's quiet again in the house. Weather is nice today so my husband and I are going for a second walk after work.)
March 15 - 172.4 (Work is going to be very busy these next couple of weeks. Keeping centered, focusing on my good habits. Excited that spring is around the corner.)
March 16 - 173.4 (Feeling a bit tired with work and some personal life stuff. Husband and I are going to go out for a walk or light bike ride here which I'm really looking forward to.)
March 17 - 172.8 (Sick.)
March 18 - 171.6 (Didn't sleep very well due to illness. Need to get through the workday and then it'll be a weekend of rest for me.)
March 19 - 170.6 (No change here, still sick but happy work isn't a factor for a couple days now at least. Just in bed with Netflix, water, and magazines. I am noticing a lot of dizziness and vertigo so I am going to see if I can nap in a bit.)
March 20 - 167.4 (First day in a healthy BMI comes on a day that no one would ever use to describe me as healthy, oh the irony.. lol. Enjoy the first day of spring all!)
March 21 - 167.4 (Did part of my day of work today. Focusing on the wellness aspects I can manage right now - hydration and food.)
March 22 - 167.8 (Tried a very short walk today. My husband is sick now too so things are pretty quiet around here.)

03/12.…..199.2…..(Trend Weight 197.4)….. Ut oh. Looks like I’m going to get pretty hungry today because I will NOT go back to 200. Very odd though. Yesterday was another pretty good eating day honestly. I think this very low level movement is really hurting my efforts.
03/13.…..198.6…..(Trend Weight 197.5)….. I had a super stressful day yesterday and today will not likely be much better. No sleep last night plus the loss of an hour due to daylight savings time. However, I had a good past few days and I knew it would catch up to the scale at some point. I appreciate the drop. It’s encouraging.
03/14.…..198.2…..(Trend Weight 197.6)….. I don’t want to seem ungrateful. A drop on the scale is always welcomed and nice. But I am feeling like I’m wallowing around in the same mud hole lately. I’ve got to break this 198 thing and get going! I’ll be so happy this coming summer that I did! Come on Donna. You can do this!
03/15……199.0…..(Trend Weight 197.7)….. A light breakfast, no lunch, out to dinner with son & his friend. Had a brisket sandwich, no sides, with water. 1 pc sugarfree candy last night. A gain! What has this yo-yo-ing done to my metabolism? Yikes….. Back to square one.
03/16……199.8…..(Trend Weight 197.9)….. Well, I just can’t get much closer to 200 than this. Chinese yesterday. I have leftovers for today. Every other bite in my mouth will have to be carefully thought out.
03/17.…..199.8…..(Trend Weight 198.1)….. No change in diet = no change on scale. I ended up taking my new tenant (from my brother’s cabin) out to dinner, which meant restaurant food, yet again. He is a young man on the Autism spectrum (like my son) who is venturing out on his own for the first time. He wanted a meeting to set the ground rules and to “adult”. His parents live on the same street so this could work well. It was hard to rent out this house that I had rented to my brother for so many years before his death. Today will be that leftover Chinese I didn’t get to.
03/18.…..198.8…..(Trend Weight 198.2)….. TMI was helpful. Yesterday was not the best of days with left over Chinese and other things I could have done without. I did have more steps overall for the day.
03/19.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)….. Up about 4 hours earlier than usual this morning and was guzzling coffee before I realized I forgot to weigh. A broken routine this morning in every way. It’s going to be a rough day with very little sleep.
03/20.…..198.4…..(Trend Weight 198.4)….. Relieved. My diet was about the same (so-so) but I did get in my 10,000 + steps.
03/21.…..198.0…..(Trend Weight 198.3)….. My trend weight went down a touch and for that I am very happy. Up early posting this morning and then I will be doing a travel day which is much further than usual. I am picking up something from facebook marketplace which is between 3 and 4 hours away (each way). Taking my handyman and there will be lunch or dinner out mid-state. Lots of sitting today so I don’t expect it will be that great tomorrow on the scale, but I will just keep working on it.
03/22.…..199.8…..(Trend Weight 198.4)….. Golden Corral for dinner during travel. I am aiming for a slim day today.
03/23.…..198.8…..(Trend Weight 198.5)….. One pound down today which is probably excess water from the travel/restaurant weight. I did okay yesterday diet-wise. I made some good choices but there is still lots of room for improvement.

March 01 - 176.4 (The first day of March is here with the sun shining bright. Looking forward to a lunchtime walk and an after work Peloton ride.)
March 02 - 176.2 (And we're off! The Peloton ride yesterday was fantastic as I redid my FTP test and saw big improvements. I am dragging a bit to get on the bike after work but I'm just going to go down there and get it done!)
March 03 - 176.4 (Snow and cold is back. Instead of my lunchtime walk I did my shoveling. I rode the Peloton before work... my new zones after my FTP test will take some getting used to! Felt like great exercise. Hockey game out tonight will consist of unknown food + drink.)
March 04 - 173.4 (Fun time at the hockey game and only went 68 calories over my plan which was great considering the opportunity that was on the table to go way overboard. My dad gets in today for 10 day visit so my normal routine will be slightly disrupted.)
March 05 - 174 (Woke up early and PR'd on the Peloton for my 60 minute time. Off to see The Batman this afternoon.)
March 06 - 174 (Sun is shining. Looking to walk today and ride my Peloton. Also going to my friend's kid's 3rd birthday party.)
March 07 - 173.2 (Peloton ride and walk are done. My husband is making a few delicious proteins on the BBQ. Life is good.)
March 08 - 172.6 (Sunshine filled day but lots of ice on the sidewalks. Still managed to get out for two chilly walks. I missed my Peloton ride this morning so I may end up taking a rest day off the bike if I can't find a good opportunity to get on tonight with my Dad being here right now.)
March 09 - 171.2 (Started the day with a super hard Peloton ride and then I've been busy with work since. Did slip out for a walk at lunch. I have a social meal with coworkers tonight that I'll have little control of the food for. It will be great company!)
March 10 - 170.6 (Off work today to spend some time with my dad and brother. Celebrating my dog's second birthday tonight with a family supper.)
March 11 - 170.8 (Weather is warming again which feels so nice. Today's exercise was to focus on hitting my 10,000 steps, which I've exceeded already. Looking forward to spending more quality time with Dad this weekend before he goes back home on Monday.)
March 12 - 169.8 (Long ride for the week done first thing and now I'm enjoying a hot tub in the sun. Spring feels so close!!! Off to Banff for an overnight later today.)
March 13 - 170.6 (Chose to use our downtime at the hotel wisely to walk around the town of Banff twice. Had a great time with family and didn't overdo it at the buffet dinner.)
March 14 - 171.8 (My dad flew home this morning so it's quiet again in the house. Weather is nice today so my husband and I are going for a second walk after work.)
March 15 - 172.4 (Work is going to be very busy these next couple of weeks. Keeping centered, focusing on my good habits. Excited that spring is around the corner.)
March 16 - 173.4 (Feeling a bit tired with work and some personal life stuff. Husband and I are going to go out for a walk or light bike ride here which I'm really looking forward to.)
March 17 - 172.8 (Sick.)
March 18 - 171.6 (Didn't sleep very well due to illness. Need to get through the workday and then it'll be a weekend of rest for me.)
March 19 - 170.6 (No change here, still sick but happy work isn't a factor for a couple days now at least. Just in bed with Netflix, water, and magazines. I am noticing a lot of dizziness and vertigo so I am going to see if I can nap in a bit.)
March 20 - 167.4 (First day in a healthy BMI comes on a day that no one would ever use to describe me as healthy, oh the irony.. lol. Enjoy the first day of spring all!)
March 21 - 167.4 (Did part of my day of work today. Focusing on the wellness aspects I can manage right now - hydration and food.)
March 22 - 167.8 (Tried a very short walk today. My husband is sick now too so things are pretty quiet around here.)
March 23 - 168 (Salmon plans for supper and leftovers for lunch. Going to try a slightly longer walk today and see how I do.)

Hi there! I’m Athena, I’ve been doing Jill’s challenges since October and have lost 10 pounds so far. What works for me is mindfully eating for my diet and working out for my mental health.

Strong day yesterday! Met 100% of my goals! And I might have squealed this morning when I got on the scale.

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 61 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s
Starting Weight (from February 28th): 198.2
Goal: 193.2 (Five lb Loss)
**************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************
03/01…...196.6…..(Trend Weight 196.5)….. Good luck to everyone this round.
03/02.…..197.4…..(Trend Weight 196.6)….. Late night snacks were over the top and just too much at once and at all.
03/03.…..196.2…..(Trend Weight 196.6}….. The well company made an adjustment and we’re hoping the bladder is okay. So I didn’t have to put out the extra $900 yesterday. Let’s hope this works! An average day yesterday with food and exercise/movement yet there is a drop. I just keep bouncing back & forth and my inconsistencies are showing up on the scale with inconsistent weights. Perhaps that will speak to me loud enough.
03/04.…..196.0…..(Trend Weight 196.5)….. I stress ate a little last night due to trouble with the 4 year old DGS. I’ve raised 4 children and have never seen anything like this. It’s no wonder my daughter is in the depressed, anxious and fragile state that she is in. Things have got to get easier for us in this house!
03/05.…..198.2…..(Trend Weight 196.7)….. A whole new level of stupid. Yes, I am talking about me! Meals were very good. Snacks were over-the-top and likely related to boredom as I finally had a bit of time to myself.
03/06.…..197.0…..(Trend Weight 196.7)….. My weight was sorta bouncing up & down on the scale from 197.0 to 197.4 but finally timed out on 197.0. It will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings. Clearly I am still going up & down so regularly that even my scale is confused (and that never happens!) Very low calorie burn yesterday due to online shopping all day. I’ll have to make an extra effort today to somehow get moving! Have a good Sunday everyone.
03/07.…..198.0…..(Trend Weight 196.8)….. Very good quantities yesterday but the choices weren’t the greatest. Lots of housecleaning movement. I turned a lazy day into something productive. I will make better choices today because obviously that and no TMI affected me.
03/08.…..197.8…..(Trend Weight 196.9)….. I don’t think I’m eating enough or well enough at dinner. My snacks are reasonable (in most cases) but too many. Also, I’ve been staying up a bit later for time to myself (read, catch up on TV etc) so more time for snacks. I will have to plan better.
03/09.…..197.8…..(Trend Weight 197.0)….. I kicked the handyman out earlier than usual. After having a friend visit for the early evening, I made dinner for a different family friend, DD and DGS. It was delicious and I kept my portions within good limits. It was a very nice day overall. Extra steps cleaning up that kitchen!
03/10.…..198.0…..(Trend Weight 197.1)….. No TMI and I know that would help the scale. A good day overall yesterday but very little calorie burn due to having company most of the day. Lots of time at the kitchen table.
03/11.…..198.0…..(Trend Weight 197.2)….. A much better well-planned day yesterday dietary-wise. Low level movement however. Sleep and bathroom duty both slightly better. No change on scale but it should be coming.
03/12.…..199.2…..(Trend Weight 197.4)….. Ut oh. Looks like I’m going to get pretty hungry today because I will NOT go back to 200. Very odd though. Yesterday was another pretty good eating day honestly. I think this very low level movement is really hurting my efforts.
03/13.…..198.6…..(Trend Weight 197.5)….. I had a super stressful day yesterday and today will not likely be much better. No sleep last night plus the loss of an hour due to daylight savings time. However, I had a good past few days and I knew it would catch up to the scale at some point. I appreciate the drop. It’s encouraging.
03/14.…..198.2…..(Trend Weight 197.6)….. I don’t want to seem ungrateful. A drop on the scale is always welcomed and nice. But I am feeling like I’m wallowing around in the same mud hole lately. I’ve got to break this 198 thing and get going! I’ll be so happy this coming summer that I did! Come on Donna. You can do this!
03/15……199.0…..(Trend Weight 197.7)….. A light breakfast, no lunch, out to dinner with son & his friend. Had a brisket sandwich, no sides, with water. 1 pc sugarfree candy last night. A gain! What has this yo-yo-ing done to my metabolism? Yikes….. Back to square one.
03/16……199.8…..(Trend Weight 197.9)….. Well, I just can’t get much closer to 200 than this. Chinese yesterday. I have leftovers for today. Every other bite in my mouth will have to be carefully thought out.
03/17.…..199.8…..(Trend Weight 198.1)….. No change in diet = no change on scale. I ended up taking my new tenant (from my brother’s cabin) out to dinner, which meant restaurant food, yet again. He is a young man on the Autism spectrum (like my son) who is venturing out on his own for the first time. He wanted a meeting to set the ground rules and to “adult”. His parents live on the same street so this could work well. It was hard to rent out this house that I had rented to my brother for so many years before his death. Today will be that leftover Chinese I didn’t get to.
03/18.…..198.8…..(Trend Weight 198.2)….. TMI was helpful. Yesterday was not the best of days with left over Chinese and other things I could have done without. I did have more steps overall for the day.
03/19.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)….. Up about 4 hours earlier than usual this morning and was guzzling coffee before I realized I forgot to weigh. A broken routine this morning in every way. It’s going to be a rough day with very little sleep.
03/20.…..198.4…..(Trend Weight 198.4)….. Relieved. My diet was about the same (so-so) but I did get in my 10,000 + steps.
03/21.…..198.0…..(Trend Weight 198.3)….. My trend weight went down a touch and for that I am very happy. Up early posting this morning and then I will be doing a travel day which is much further than usual. I am picking up something from facebook marketplace which is between 3 and 4 hours away (each way). Taking my handyman and there will be lunch or dinner out mid-state. Lots of sitting today so I don’t expect it will be that great tomorrow on the scale, but I will just keep working on it.
03/22.…..199.8…..(Trend Weight 198.4)….. Golden Corral for dinner during travel. I am aiming for a slim day today.
03/23.…..198.8…..(Trend Weight 198.5)….. One pound down today which is probably excess water from the travel/restaurant weight. I did okay yesterday diet-wise. I made some good choices but there is still lots of room for improvement.
03/24.…..198.8…..(Trend Weight 198.6)….. No change today. Diet was okay until the snacking. Snacks lower in calorie but too many. However, I made an actual effort to get in my 10,000 steps and I am proud of the progress there. Getting in movement and exercise has been almost impossible and had definitely made my efforts more difficult. Gotta eat so gotta burn calories every day!

I'm Beth, I'm back, I'm fat and I'm tired of myself. So... I've been doing challenges for awhile but for the last 5 months I've totally lost my way, even with that. As of last week, I'm now closer to 64 than 63. I'm mom to adult twingles. I enjoy riding my bike, used to enjoy "running" until I got lonely. I'm not a super-extrovert, but I like to have someone to talk to sometimes and nobody I know is as slow as I am. Same kind of goes with biking. My bike and I are outclassed in every way. And I've turned into a whiny little *kitten* the past few days. So, two of my new goals are to get out of my funk and to stop using food as a crutch for everything that doesn't seem to be going my way (like cars, emotions, rent, etc).
My regular goals include (from most difficult to the easiest)
🚦 Getting started
🥤 Drinking more water than diet soda
🥅 Staying within my calorie limits
📚 Making sure I get some “me time”
😅🚶♀️🏃🏻♀️🚴🏻♀️ Exercising more
📔 Tracking every meal
⚖️ Weighing daily is a given for me, so this will be the easiest one for me. My primary goal right now is just go DOWN again.
Highest Weight: Somewhere between 227-230... I don't know. I avoided the scale.
Return to MFP after ~ 5-6 year absence (June 11, 2020) = 216.9
Lowest weight since I started in June 2020 = 177.4 (9/19/21) - been climbing ever since...
Final weight from last month's challenge (February 28, 2022) = 200.2
Starting weight for this challenge (March 1, 2022) = 199.8
March 01- ⚖️ 199.8 (-0.4 from yesterday) - 🚶♀️📚 - didn't track dinner. I know what I ate, and it put me way over. Starting the month off with a bang.
March 02- ⚖️ 200.8 (+1.0) - 🚶♀️📚📔
March 03 - ⚖️ 200.8 (+0.0) - 🚶♀️📚📔
March 04 - ⚖️ 200.6 (+0.0) - 🚶♀️📚 - I met Cary Elwes tonight. *swoon* and *squeeeee* (Yes, I'm old... but I'm still a fangirl of certain movies/shows. The Princess Bride is one of them. Hahaha). He is handsome, charming, funny, kind, and came across as a genuinely nice and likeable man. I also watched The Princess Bride in the 92 year old theater where I saw my first movie ever ("That Darn Cat!") in 1965. It was a wonderful end to a generally s****y day.
March 05 - ⚖️ 200.2 (+0.0) - 📚 - Yeah, today was another generally s****y day... without the wonderful ending.
March 06 - ⚖️ 200.4 (+0.2) - 🚶♀️📚 - blah.
March 07 - ⚖️ 199.8 (-0.6) - 🚶♀️📚📔
March 08 - ⚖️ 201.0 (+1.2)

March 01 - 176.4 (The first day of March is here with the sun shining bright. Looking forward to a lunchtime walk and an after work Peloton ride.)
March 02 - 176.2 (And we're off! The Peloton ride yesterday was fantastic as I redid my FTP test and saw big improvements. I am dragging a bit to get on the bike after work but I'm just going to go down there and get it done!)
March 03 - 176.4 (Snow and cold is back. Instead of my lunchtime walk I did my shoveling. I rode the Peloton before work... my new zones after my FTP test will take some getting used to! Felt like great exercise. Hockey game out tonight will consist of unknown food + drink.)
March 04 - 173.4 (Fun time at the hockey game and only went 68 calories over my plan which was great considering the opportunity that was on the table to go way overboard. My dad gets in today for 10 day visit so my normal routine will be slightly disrupted.)
March 05 - 174 (Woke up early and PR'd on the Peloton for my 60 minute time. Off to see The Batman this afternoon.)
March 06 - 174 (Sun is shining. Looking to walk today and ride my Peloton. Also going to my friend's kid's 3rd birthday party.)
March 07 - 173.2 (Peloton ride and walk are done. My husband is making a few delicious proteins on the BBQ. Life is good.)
March 08 - 172.6 (Sunshine filled day but lots of ice on the sidewalks. Still managed to get out for two chilly walks. I missed my Peloton ride this morning so I may end up taking a rest day off the bike if I can't find a good opportunity to get on tonight with my Dad being here right now.)
March 09 - 171.2 (Started the day with a super hard Peloton ride and then I've been busy with work since. Did slip out for a walk at lunch. I have a social meal with coworkers tonight that I'll have little control of the food for. It will be great company!)
March 10 - 170.6 (Off work today to spend some time with my dad and brother. Celebrating my dog's second birthday tonight with a family supper.)
March 11 - 170.8 (Weather is warming again which feels so nice. Today's exercise was to focus on hitting my 10,000 steps, which I've exceeded already. Looking forward to spending more quality time with Dad this weekend before he goes back home on Monday.)
March 12 - 169.8 (Long ride for the week done first thing and now I'm enjoying a hot tub in the sun. Spring feels so close!!! Off to Banff for an overnight later today.)
March 13 - 170.6 (Chose to use our downtime at the hotel wisely to walk around the town of Banff twice. Had a great time with family and didn't overdo it at the buffet dinner.)
March 14 - 171.8 (My dad flew home this morning so it's quiet again in the house. Weather is nice today so my husband and I are going for a second walk after work.)
March 15 - 172.4 (Work is going to be very busy these next couple of weeks. Keeping centered, focusing on my good habits. Excited that spring is around the corner.)
March 16 - 173.4 (Feeling a bit tired with work and some personal life stuff. Husband and I are going to go out for a walk or light bike ride here which I'm really looking forward to.)
March 17 - 172.8 (Sick.)
March 18 - 171.6 (Didn't sleep very well due to illness. Need to get through the workday and then it'll be a weekend of rest for me.)
March 19 - 170.6 (No change here, still sick but happy work isn't a factor for a couple days now at least. Just in bed with Netflix, water, and magazines. I am noticing a lot of dizziness and vertigo so I am going to see if I can nap in a bit.)
March 20 - 167.4 (First day in a healthy BMI comes on a day that no one would ever use to describe me as healthy, oh the irony.. lol. Enjoy the first day of spring all!)
March 21 - 167.4 (Did part of my day of work today. Focusing on the wellness aspects I can manage right now - hydration and food.)
March 22 - 167.8 (Tried a very short walk today. My husband is sick now too so things are pretty quiet around here.)
March 23 - 168 (Salmon plans for supper and leftovers for lunch. Going to try a slightly longer walk today and see how I do.)
March 24 - 168.4 (Turning the corner and hoping things are back to normal here fairly soon. Had a great chat with a high school friend tonight.)

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 61 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s
Starting Weight (from February 28th): 198.2
Goal: 193.2 (Five lb Loss)
**************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************
03/01…...196.6…..(Trend Weight 196.5)….. Good luck to everyone this round.
03/02.…..197.4…..(Trend Weight 196.6)….. Late night snacks were over the top and just too much at once and at all.
03/03.…..196.2…..(Trend Weight 196.6}….. The well company made an adjustment and we’re hoping the bladder is okay. So I didn’t have to put out the extra $900 yesterday. Let’s hope this works! An average day yesterday with food and exercise/movement yet there is a drop. I just keep bouncing back & forth and my inconsistencies are showing up on the scale with inconsistent weights. Perhaps that will speak to me loud enough.
03/04.…..196.0…..(Trend Weight 196.5)….. I stress ate a little last night due to trouble with the 4 year old DGS. I’ve raised 4 children and have never seen anything like this. It’s no wonder my daughter is in the depressed, anxious and fragile state that she is in. Things have got to get easier for us in this house!
03/05.…..198.2…..(Trend Weight 196.7)….. A whole new level of stupid. Yes, I am talking about me! Meals were very good. Snacks were over-the-top and likely related to boredom as I finally had a bit of time to myself.
03/06.…..197.0…..(Trend Weight 196.7)….. My weight was sorta bouncing up & down on the scale from 197.0 to 197.4 but finally timed out on 197.0. It will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings. Clearly I am still going up & down so regularly that even my scale is confused (and that never happens!) Very low calorie burn yesterday due to online shopping all day. I’ll have to make an extra effort today to somehow get moving! Have a good Sunday everyone.
03/07.…..198.0…..(Trend Weight 196.8)….. Very good quantities yesterday but the choices weren’t the greatest. Lots of housecleaning movement. I turned a lazy day into something productive. I will make better choices today because obviously that and no TMI affected me.
03/08.…..197.8…..(Trend Weight 196.9)….. I don’t think I’m eating enough or well enough at dinner. My snacks are reasonable (in most cases) but too many. Also, I’ve been staying up a bit later for time to myself (read, catch up on TV etc) so more time for snacks. I will have to plan better.
03/09.…..197.8…..(Trend Weight 197.0)….. I kicked the handyman out earlier than usual. After having a friend visit for the early evening, I made dinner for a different family friend, DD and DGS. It was delicious and I kept my portions within good limits. It was a very nice day overall. Extra steps cleaning up that kitchen!
03/10.…..198.0…..(Trend Weight 197.1)….. No TMI and I know that would help the scale. A good day overall yesterday but very little calorie burn due to having company most of the day. Lots of time at the kitchen table.
03/11.…..198.0…..(Trend Weight 197.2)….. A much better well-planned day yesterday dietary-wise. Low level movement however. Sleep and bathroom duty both slightly better. No change on scale but it should be coming.
03/12.…..199.2…..(Trend Weight 197.4)….. Ut oh. Looks like I’m going to get pretty hungry today because I will NOT go back to 200. Very odd though. Yesterday was another pretty good eating day honestly. I think this very low level movement is really hurting my efforts.
03/13.…..198.6…..(Trend Weight 197.5)….. I had a super stressful day yesterday and today will not likely be much better. No sleep last night plus the loss of an hour due to daylight savings time. However, I had a good past few days and I knew it would catch up to the scale at some point. I appreciate the drop. It’s encouraging.
03/14.…..198.2…..(Trend Weight 197.6)….. I don’t want to seem ungrateful. A drop on the scale is always welcomed and nice. But I am feeling like I’m wallowing around in the same mud hole lately. I’ve got to break this 198 thing and get going! I’ll be so happy this coming summer that I did! Come on Donna. You can do this!
03/15……199.0…..(Trend Weight 197.7)….. A light breakfast, no lunch, out to dinner with son & his friend. Had a brisket sandwich, no sides, with water. 1 pc sugarfree candy last night. A gain! What has this yo-yo-ing done to my metabolism? Yikes….. Back to square one.
03/16……199.8…..(Trend Weight 197.9)….. Well, I just can’t get much closer to 200 than this. Chinese yesterday. I have leftovers for today. Every other bite in my mouth will have to be carefully thought out.
03/17.…..199.8…..(Trend Weight 198.1)….. No change in diet = no change on scale. I ended up taking my new tenant (from my brother’s cabin) out to dinner, which meant restaurant food, yet again. He is a young man on the Autism spectrum (like my son) who is venturing out on his own for the first time. He wanted a meeting to set the ground rules and to “adult”. His parents live on the same street so this could work well. It was hard to rent out this house that I had rented to my brother for so many years before his death. Today will be that leftover Chinese I didn’t get to.
03/18.…..198.8…..(Trend Weight 198.2)….. TMI was helpful. Yesterday was not the best of days with left over Chinese and other things I could have done without. I did have more steps overall for the day.
03/19.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)….. Up about 4 hours earlier than usual this morning and was guzzling coffee before I realized I forgot to weigh. A broken routine this morning in every way. It’s going to be a rough day with very little sleep.
03/20.…..198.4…..(Trend Weight 198.4)….. Relieved. My diet was about the same (so-so) but I did get in my 10,000 + steps.
03/21.…..198.0…..(Trend Weight 198.3)….. My trend weight went down a touch and for that I am very happy. Up early posting this morning and then I will be doing a travel day which is much further than usual. I am picking up something from facebook marketplace which is between 3 and 4 hours away (each way). Taking my handyman and there will be lunch or dinner out mid-state. Lots of sitting today so I don’t expect it will be that great tomorrow on the scale, but I will just keep working on it.
03/22.…..199.8…..(Trend Weight 198.4)….. Golden Corral for dinner during travel. I am aiming for a slim day today.
03/23.…..198.8…..(Trend Weight 198.5)….. One pound down today which is probably excess water from the travel/restaurant weight. I did okay yesterday diet-wise. I made some good choices but there is still lots of room for improvement.
03/24.…..198.8…..(Trend Weight 198.6)….. No change today. Diet was okay until the snacking. Snacks lower in calorie but too many. However, I made an actual effort to get in my 10,000 steps and I am proud of the progress there. Getting in movement and exercise has been almost impossible and had definitely made my efforts more difficult. Gotta eat so gotta burn calories every day!
03/25.…..199.8…..(Trend Weight 198.7)….. I did horribly yesterday after grocery shopping for the wrong things. Treats for others turned into treats for me. I hope to grow some willpower and make today better.
03/26.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)……
03/27.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)……
03/28.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)……
03/29.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)……

March 20 - 167.4 (First day in a healthy BMI comes on a day that no one would ever use to describe me as healthy, oh the irony.. lol. Enjoy the first day of spring all!)
March 21 - 167.4 (Did part of my day of work today. Focusing on the wellness aspects I can manage right now - hydration and food.)
March 22 - 167.8 (Tried a very short walk today. My husband is sick now too so things are pretty quiet around here.)
March 23 - 168 (Salmon plans for supper and leftovers for lunch. Going to try a slightly longer walk today and see how I do.)
March 24 - 168.4 (Turning the corner and hoping things are back to normal here fairly soon. Had a great chat with a high school friend tonight.)
March 25 - 168.2 (Feeling more like my old self today! Hooray. Happy Friday all.)

03/24.…..198.8…..(Trend Weight 198.6)….. No change today. Diet was okay until the snacking. Snacks lower in calorie but too many. However, I made an actual effort to get in my 10,000 steps and I am proud of the progress there. Getting in movement and exercise has been almost impossible and had definitely made my efforts more difficult. Gotta eat so gotta burn calories every day!

Hi there! I’m Athena, I’ve been doing Jill’s challenges since October and have lost 10 pounds so far. What works for me is mindfully eating for my diet and working out for my mental health.

Hm, not too sure why I gained today, I met my goals yesterday. 🤔 I did an outdoor long run at the lake today. There is a spot my husband and I get to by an hour when we are walking, I was able to go slightly past that spot running for 30 min, that made me feel awesome!

🌱Intentional exercise of at least 20 minutes daily
🌱Eat at or under my calorie goal and track every single bite
March 01 - 176.4 (The first day of March is here with the sun shining bright. Looking forward to a lunchtime walk and an after work Peloton ride.)
March 02 - 176.2 (And we're off! The Peloton ride yesterday was fantastic as I redid my FTP test and saw big improvements. I am dragging a bit to get on the bike after work but I'm just going to go down there and get it done!)
March 03 - 176.4 (Snow and cold is back. Instead of my lunchtime walk I did my shoveling. I rode the Peloton before work... my new zones after my FTP test will take some getting used to! Felt like great exercise. Hockey game out tonight will consist of unknown food + drink.)
March 04 - 173.4 (Fun time at the hockey game and only went 68 calories over my plan which was great considering the opportunity that was on the table to go way overboard. My dad gets in today for 10 day visit so my normal routine will be slightly disrupted.)
March 05 - 174 (Woke up early and PR'd on the Peloton for my 60 minute time. Off to see The Batman this afternoon.)
March 06 - 174 (Sun is shining. Looking to walk today and ride my Peloton. Also going to my friend's kid's 3rd birthday party.)
March 07 - 173.2 (Peloton ride and walk are done. My husband is making a few delicious proteins on the BBQ. Life is good.)
March 08 - 172.6 (Sunshine filled day but lots of ice on the sidewalks. Still managed to get out for two chilly walks. I missed my Peloton ride this morning so I may end up taking a rest day off the bike if I can't find a good opportunity to get on tonight with my Dad being here right now.)
March 09 - 171.2 (Started the day with a super hard Peloton ride and then I've been busy with work since. Did slip out for a walk at lunch. I have a social meal with coworkers tonight that I'll have little control of the food for. It will be great company!)
March 10 - 170.6 (Off work today to spend some time with my dad and brother. Celebrating my dog's second birthday tonight with a family supper.)
March 11 - 170.8 (Weather is warming again which feels so nice. Today's exercise was to focus on hitting my 10,000 steps, which I've exceeded already. Looking forward to spending more quality time with Dad this weekend before he goes back home on Monday.)
March 12 - 169.8 (Long ride for the week done first thing and now I'm enjoying a hot tub in the sun. Spring feels so close!!! Off to Banff for an overnight later today.)
March 13 - 170.6 (Chose to use our downtime at the hotel wisely to walk around the town of Banff twice. Had a great time with family and didn't overdo it at the buffet dinner.)
March 14 - 171.8 (My dad flew home this morning so it's quiet again in the house. Weather is nice today so my husband and I are going for a second walk after work.)
March 15 - 172.4 (Work is going to be very busy these next couple of weeks. Keeping centered, focusing on my good habits. Excited that spring is around the corner.)
March 16 - 173.4 (Feeling a bit tired with work and some personal life stuff. Husband and I are going to go out for a walk or light bike ride here which I'm really looking forward to.)
March 17 - 172.8 (Sick.)
March 18 - 171.6 (Didn't sleep very well due to illness. Need to get through the workday and then it'll be a weekend of rest for me.)
March 19 - 170.6 (No change here, still sick but happy work isn't a factor for a couple days now at least. Just in bed with Netflix, water, and magazines. I am noticing a lot of dizziness and vertigo so I am going to see if I can nap in a bit.)
March 20 - 167.4 (First day in a healthy BMI comes on a day that no one would ever use to describe me as healthy, oh the irony.. lol. Enjoy the first day of spring all!)
March 21 - 167.4 (Did part of my day of work today. Focusing on the wellness aspects I can manage right now - hydration and food.)
March 22 - 167.8 (Tried a very short walk today. My husband is sick now too so things are pretty quiet around here.)
March 23 - 168 (Salmon plans for supper and leftovers for lunch. Going to try a slightly longer walk today and see how I do.)
March 24 - 168.4 (Turning the corner and hoping things are back to normal here fairly soon. Had a great chat with a high school friend tonight.)
March 25 - 168.2 (Feeling more like my old self today! Hooray. Happy Friday all.)

I'm Beth, I'm back, I'm fat and I'm tired of myself. So... I've been doing challenges for awhile but for the last 5 months I've totally lost my way, even with that. As of last week, I'm now closer to 64 than 63. I'm mom to adult twingles. I enjoy riding my bike, used to enjoy "running" until I got lonely. I'm not a super-extrovert, but I like to have someone to talk to sometimes and nobody I know is as slow as I am. Same kind of goes with biking. My bike and I are outclassed in every way. And I've turned into a whiny little *kitten* the past few days. So, two of my new goals are to get out of my funk and to stop using food as a crutch for everything that doesn't seem to be going my way (like cars, emotions, rent, etc).
My regular goals include (from most difficult to the easiest)
🚦 Getting started
🥤 Drinking more water than diet soda
🥅 Staying within my calorie limits
📚 Making sure I get some “me time”
😅🚶♀️🏃🏻♀️🚴🏻♀️ Exercising more
📔 Tracking every meal
⚖️ Weighing daily is a given for me, so this will be the easiest one for me. My primary goal right now is just go DOWN again.
Highest Weight: Somewhere between 227-230... I don't know. I avoided the scale.
Return to MFP after ~ 5-6 year absence (June 11, 2020) = 216.9
Lowest weight since I started in June 2020 = 177.4 (9/19/21) - been climbing ever since...
Final weight from last month's challenge (February 28, 2022) = 200.2
Starting weight for this challenge (March 1, 2022) = 199.8
March 01- ⚖️ 199.8 (-0.4 from yesterday) - 🚶♀️📚 - didn't track dinner. I know what I ate, and it put me way over. Starting the month off with a bang.
March 02- ⚖️ 200.8 (+1.0) - 🚶♀️📚📔
March 03 - ⚖️ 200.8 (+0.0) - 🚶♀️📚📔
March 04 - ⚖️ 200.6 (+0.0) - 🚶♀️📚 - I met Cary Elwes tonight. *swoon* and *squeeeee* (Yes, I'm old... but I'm still a fangirl of certain movies/shows. The Princess Bride is one of them. Hahaha). He is handsome, charming, funny, kind, and came across as a genuinely nice and likeable man. I also watched The Princess Bride in the 92 year old theater where I saw my first movie ever ("That Darn Cat!") in 1965. It was a wonderful end to a generally s****y day.
March 05 - ⚖️ 200.2 (+0.0) - 📚 - Yeah, today was another generally s****y day... without the wonderful ending.
March 06 - ⚖️ 200.4 (+0.2) - 🚶♀️📚 - blah.
March 07 - ⚖️ 199.8 (-0.6) - 🚶♀️📚📔
March 08 - ⚖️ 201.0 (+1.2)
March 09 - ⚖️ 200.8 (-0.2)
March 10 - ⚖️ ???? I know I weighed myself. Running late and forgot to log it. Thinking back, it was around 201.6 or so (written 3/13/22)
March 11 - ⚖️ 201.0 (+0.2 up from 3/9/22 or -0.6 from what I think yesterday's weight might have been)
March 12 - ⚖️ 201.6 (+0.6)
March 13 - ⚖️ 201.2 (-0.4)
March 14 - ⚖️ 201.2 (-0.4)
March 15 - ⚖️ 202.4 (+1.2)
March 16 - ⚖️ 202.2 (-0.2)
March 17 ☘️ - ⚖️ 202.2 (-0.0)
March 18 - ⚖️ 201.8 (-0.4)
March 19 - ⚖️ 202.8 (-1.0)
March 20 First day of Spring! 🌷 - ⚖️ 203.2 (+0.4)
March 21 - ⚖️ 202.6 (-0.6)
March 22 - ⚖️ 203.3 (+0.7)
March 23 - ⚖️ 202.6 (-0.7)
March 24 - ⚖️ 203.0 (+0.3)
March 25 - ⚖️ 204.6 (+1.6)
March 26 - ⚖️ 202.8 (-1.8) - Seriously bouncing around here and it doesn't make sese to me, but there it is.
