Day/Weight/Comment
03/07 …..198.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
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 ….. [/color=[black] Trend weight 197.0) I made dinner for DD, DGS and a family friend. Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, asparagus and dinner rolls. My daughter followed it up by bringing in ice cream and carmel sauce. I kept my quantities good. I got in a few extra steps in general.
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 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
03/17 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Day/Weight/Comment
3/8 / 172.6 / Dad is easy company to have in terms of the eating plan because he's diabetic now and watches what he eats. So, no external pressure coming from him to splurge! I have surpassed the 120 pounds lost mark now... less than 5 pounds to go until I hit normal BMI!!!!
3/9 / 171.2 / Did a soul crushingly difficult Power Zone ride on the Peloton this morning and a walk in the chilly temps at lunch. Supper out with coworkers tonight to celebrate birthdays. It's share plates so we'll see what I end up with!
3/10 / 170.6 / Share plate supper went well.. good variety and we didn't overeat. Off work today to spend time with my dad and brother. My husband is cooking a big rib dinner for company tonight but I've got my plan in place.
3/11 / 170.8 / I had intended to ride the Peloton today but I ended up busy with other things. Instead, I focused on getting my 10,000 steps which I don't often do. The weather is warming up again which is fantastic. Last weekend my Dad is here so we have some fun planned before he returns home on Monday!
3/12 / 169.8 / Touching my goal weight decade!! I am now less than 2 pounds away from my original goal weight target of 125 pounds lost. It's hard to believe some days!! Off to Banff with the family tonight for a special light show event on the mountain.
3/13 / 170.6 / Fabulous overnight in Banff. Walked into town and back from our hotel twice. Didn't overeat at the buffet. Nice memories with family.
3/14 / 171.8 / Got dad on his plane back home today. Feels quiet around the house. Both hubby and I feel tired from entertaining for 10 days. It was a great visit. Back to business as usual around here for the next two weeks but our weeks after that will be full of different things.
3/15 / 172.4 / Two Peloton rides within a 12 hour window - rode last night and then again this morning. Longer walk at lunch with the beautiful temperatures outside. Work is very stressful right now so I'm glad to have my well established habits to pull me through.

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.

Round # 47 for me!
SW: 371.6 (6000 step goal, goal to lose 2 to 3 lbs. each challenge, go to bed by 11:30, no eating out more than once every 10-day challenge)
Day/Weight/Comment (previous day steps)
3/08 371.6 – 7161 steps. Yesterday was ok. Too much cheese but ok.
3/09 370.4
– 5154 steps.
3/10 370.4 – 7902 steps. Back on track! Did well at the office yesterday.
3/11 370.4 – 6071 steps. TGIF!
3/12 370.4 – 6286 steps. Holding steady…. I think this is the longest I have gone without a drop and have been under calories. If I am not going up is all that matters right now. The drop will come sooner or later, my mission is to maintain the course. I have a physical on March 28th and my goal is to be under 360 by that appointment. Not impossible for sure. I know what to do. Have a great weekend and stay safe!
3/13 370.4 – 7815 steps.
3/14 369.0 – 6616 steps. Finally! Saturday was an awesome day! I went to DR for a bone scan for osteoporosis and I had to weigh because there is a 400-pound weight maximum for the machine and even though I had on clothes and had eaten and water I still weighed in at 369.8 on their scale which my PCP will get. So, I was happy about that especially since scale was the same all week.
3/15 369.0 – 3545 steps. Rest day yesterday. At the office today. Great time at office. Quiet and easy going.

In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us. 9 -
Grilling/bake a great idea! Thanks! I am sure they are still juicy too.IsMollyReallyHungry wrote: »
Ditto this! I just remove the skin! But I do eat both@RealTamaraB - I agree, chicken thighs are way more tasty & satisfying than chicken breast !!
I buy the skinless ones & oven bake them on grill so any excess fat drips out; it's amazing how much they lose, and then that gets drained off and thrown in the bin!!!

Ditto this! I just remove the skin! But I do eat both@RealTamaraB - I agree, chicken thighs are way more tasty & satisfying than chicken breast !!
I buy the skinless ones & oven bake them on grill so any excess fat drips out; it's amazing how much they lose, and then that gets drained off and thrown in the bin!!!

Round 180 ( my 112th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Need to knuckle down now and make each round count, DS's wedding is later this spring & I want to feel happy with myself on the day. Aim this round to be lower than the start, but a pound would be nice, concentrate on good food choices & think before I put anything in my mouth!! Also eat only half daily exercise calories back.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 then 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
3/8 138.4 – 14.19 miles walked, just a quarter of exercise calories eaten back. A good solid start yesterday, need to keep it up. Feeling happier with my actions.
3/9 137.8 – tentatively being pleased with this, if I can maintain this to the end of the round I will be well pleased ! But not relaxing! 9 miles walked yesterday, less than 50% of exercise calories eaten back, but carbs 60g over; lunch at DS's whilst helping her with wallpapering.
3/10 138.8 – are the scales playing with me? 10.56 miles, just over half calories eaten back, all macros in credit.
3/11 140 – 4.62 miles, met with DD & little DGS, went out to lunch.
3/12 138.8 - 6.82 miles, had to cut it short cuz of rain?. Away in our caravan for the weekend, more motivated this week; hence brought scales with me. Pleased to see the "disagree" button has disappeared, I think it was totally unnecessary and down hearting. Have a good weekend everyone.
3/13 137.4 - 14.78 miles walked yesterday, all but 87 calories eaten back.
3/14 137.4 - 10.42 miles walked, all but 84 of exercise calories eaten back.
3/15 137.4 – 10.52 miles. Happy to be consolidating at this weight for a few days before hopefully moving down again. Only just over 100 exercise calories eaten back.
3/16 137.4 - 8 miles walked.
Have you ever had an argument with yourself? I so wanted some chocolate, but I know if I start I can't stop !! So there I am standing by the 'fridge, “I'll just have one chocolate bar” “no, it won't stop there” “just one” “ no !! you won't be able to stop!!!! “ “just one” “NO” --- I finally shut the 'fridge door and I beat the demon – no chocolate passed my lips & boy, did it feel good to be in control!!! Just a tenth of exercise calories eaten back, which stands me in good stead for the afternoon tea canal cruise with a friend today; I'll be happy if I return this weight tomorrow.

3/16 - 149.7 - Finally a little relief from bloating. Still got some belly bulge but I'm wondering if that's bloating at all. Possible, not convinced. I have work to do to get back on track. Last night we had taco Tuesday. Leftover spaghetti for lunch as BF (for the first time ever) didn't make enough for everyone AND have leftovers for lunch. Fam coming over for steaks tonight and to see kids, hopefully we will have enough for tomorrow's lunch as I'm out of spaghetti leftovers today. Fam's either Thursday or Friday night. BF has decided BigBro will drive Toto (the toyota) since he's used to it now and I'll get the "new" Impala. Haven't driven it yet so I'll have to figure out a nickname for it. Not much else to report.

Previous Day's Comments3/08 - I was dead tired last night. Didn't eat snacks, just my chicken fajitas, roasted sweet potato, and pear (dessert). ALMOST enough water, but not quite. Adjustment period, still hit 1/2 bodyweight in oz which is my minimum goal. Definitely got some walking in, moreso than normal. Wasn't quite happy to realize when my alarm went off its only Tuesday and I can't sleep in until Friday, though haha! It's not the worst plant I could be at, for sure. Fairly quiet most times. Coming to end of life so it's also just a matter of keep it running until it's retirement date. Homemade chicken alfredo for dinner last night with leftovers for lunch along with my sweet half a sweet potato and a pear. Same snacks on hand if I need. Will focus a bit more on water today if possible.
3/09 - Must be cheese from smothered burritos last night. Have leftover stuff to make burrito for lunch but I may not smother it like last night. Got all my water in (replaced about 8oz of regular water with aloe juice because it makes me happy and changes things up a bit for me). All in all 82oz regular water which is still above minimum goal. Plenty of walking and movement compared to WFH. No dedicated workouts, though. I'll slowly seep those back into my schedule once I adjust a bit more. Sleep is still adjusting and no need to exhaust myself any further at this point.
3/10 - Bloating from, what I'm assuming, is cheese. I was burping up a storm yesterday and I'm sure that hasn't gotten completely out of my system yet haha! Last night was steak and rice and veggies so that's also today's lunch. Tomorrow I can sleep in. Saturday BF and BigBro go get LittleBro and Sis. They'll be back Monday as they're stopping at Papa's house to get BigBro's truck and tow it down here. We should be getting our new bed Monday, as well. Hoping this weekend I can get some stuff done around the house, particularly in what will be my garden.

3/13 - Sorry for the absences. Been busy trying to run all my errands. Yesterday BF and BigBro left to Oklahoma to get the other two kids (successfully) and spend time with his dad. The truck he was getting will not fit in the uhaul trailer, but he found another car for me to use for work instead. It was his grandpa's car (passed last summer) and this relative of his (he didn't say) needs to sell it for her vet bills. Gives him a chance to bring SOMETHING home that still benefits us. And, honestly, it puts a small financial strain on us right now (not near what it would otherwise be) but it saves us inflated used car prices since we were already looking at another vehicle for me to commute with which we were going to do in the next couple months anyway. PLUS it saves BigBro from having to pay crazy diesel prices to go to/from school with the initially intended truck and we can decide who uses what vehicle (impala vs corolla) to commute and me from having to pay extra to drive the jeep. Either way, BigBro gets a vehicle to commute and I simultaneously get one with better gas mileage until I can find another job. And even if I get a work from home job, the car can be saved for next year when SD (step daughter) is 16 and needs a vehicle around here. LittleBro is several years off from being of driving age so we can figure that out later. Lots of crazy things going on this weekend. Tomorrow I'm working from home so we can get our bed (someone has to be here for signature and setup) and BF/kids will be home tomorrow night. Then only 3 days of commuting (I'll use corolla while BF does registration stuff) since BigBro on spring break.
3/14 - DNP
3/15 - Everyone home safe last night. Yesterday was working from home, getting all the beds moved around and getting them ready while also receiving and setting up our new bed (just in time, SD didn't have a bed as we were using hers until ours arrived. Talk about timing. New bed = best sleep I've had in a long long long while.) Washing all the sheets and such. Whew. Back to commuting today but at least I have my car so gas mileage isn't so horrendous and my wallet doesn't hurt AS bad. As for weight.... TOM decided to come early and then I was short on water Friday and Saturday. Yesterday I got enough, but that's rehydration/TOM bloat/stress increases right there. Back to routine and arrival of TOM /should/ start a decrease in the next couple days. Not much else going on to report.

SW round 180: 157.9
GW round 180: < 157.9
3.8 - 157.9 Not much exercise yesterday. It was a busy day. Still struggling with jetlag and didn't get enough sleep last night. --Ate a lot this day, over by around 350 calories.
3.9 - 157.9 Went for 2.5 mile jog along the beach in the morning. Ate within calories.
3.10 - 157.9 Ate too much - got into some cookies. Had work to do, didn't get in any significant exercise. Felt tired and irritated most of the day.😒
3.11 - 159.2 Not happy about this jump, though I do know yesterday wasn't the best day. Also, I ate teriyaki salmon last night, and I usually post a gain after eating teriyaki. Went for a short jog this morning.
3.12 159.2
3.13 159.8 Really wasn't happy about this jump. Ate a delish falafel sandwich at a falafel restaurant the night before.
3.14 158.1 Yesterday - went for a 3.25 mile jog in the morning; ate within my calories.
3.15 158.1 Wasn't very active yesterday but ate within my calorie allotment.
3.16 158.2 Walked a lot yesterday, made over 10K steps. It's a bit hilly here, so it wasn't all easy. Also stayed within calories. Would love to see a drop tomorrow.

Goal for this round: To weigh less than when the round started.
Previous days3/16 121.6 Slowly but surely dropping back down. 😊 Did strength today at the gym and followed it with 18 minutes (8 1 minute intervals worked into it) on the rowing machine. Kudos to people who use the rower regularly, those 18 minutes felt pretty darn long!
3/8 122 Happy to see this stick for another day in a row. I’m hoping to be down another pound by the end of this round or at least less than 122. Ran outside for the first time in over month this morning and it felt really good. I got 5.73 miles done in a nice steady 62 minutes. I didn’t want to push it too much because I have my 5 mile race coming up on Sunday. Planning to do strength tomorrow morning with cardio intervals afterwards. Had oatbran hot cereal again for breakfast with strawberries and a little of my protein drink added to it. I’m loving it right now and it’s so filling! Lunch will be turkey chorizo tacos and dinner will be chicken thighs with acorn squash. Happy Tuesday everyone!
3/9 122.8 Woke up with my watch feeling tighter this morning which also translated on the scale with the bump up too. Did my strength workout this morning and it felt good. I went up in my split squat another 10 pounds and my single leg Romanian dumbbell deadlifts bumped up from 25lbs in each hand to 27.5lbs. I’m enjoying the strength training a lot because it makes me care a little less about the water weight fluctuations because I know at least I’m getting stronger and the weight will slowly melt off in time.
Breakfast: oat bran hot cereal with protein shake and sliced strawberries. Lunch: leftover turkey chorizo tacos, Dinner: roasted chicken thighs with potatoes or carrots.
3/10 122.4 Did some cardio on the bike and elliptical this morning and planning to do a slow run this afternoon. I’m going out to dinner tonight for Thai with a colleague/mentor to catch up on life and I’m really looking forward to it. I’m planning to get their grilled marinated chicken with veggies, sticky rice and peanut sauce. Yumm!
Breakfast was the hot oat bran cereal with strawberries and some protein shake stirred into it plus the extra on the side. Lunch with be fiber gourmet crackers, kohlrabi, bell peppers and a cup of plain Skyr turned into a dip with some onion and garlic seasoning.
Happy Thursday!
3/11 123.4 preworkout 121.6 post workout. Got an hour of cardio in this morning on the elliptical and I’m going to take a rest day tomorrow to prepare for my 5 mile race on Sunday. Dinner last was fun and I didn’t over indulge too much. I ate half my meal and got Thai purple rice pudding for dessert. I felt a bit of water retention this morning but the cardio helped a lot with that as you can see the weight difference from pre and post workout. I had my usual oat bran hot cereal for breakfast, lunch was the Thai grilled chicken with broccoli and sticky rice and dinner will most likely be Trader Joes Paneer Tikka Masala. Happy Friday everyone!
3/12 Did not post or weigh.
3/13 Forgot to weigh. Completed my 5 mile road race today and beat my goal time I had set for myself, so I was super happy. I completed it in 43:56 which was 1:04 faster than goal. 😊 The race went well but the start was really chilly with a “real” feel of the low teens. Then afterwards my friend and I went out for brunch and I got two nice sized pancakes and had a slice of her breakfast pizza. Yumm! I’m not sure what dinner will be tonight but I’m looking forward to something a little lighter. Next on the race agenda will be a 10k in September in Salem, MA. 10k is definitely my max distance for races though. The 2 half marathons I did in the past were just too much on my body. I hope everyone has a good start to their week!
3/14 122.6 My body feels good today even after the intense run yesterday but I’m just really tired because I didn’t sleep well. I ended up going to the gym today and doing strength but instead of intervals afterwards I took it easy with the elliptical and kept my heart rate at an “easy run” blue level on my garmin watch for a half an hour. I hope everyone is adjusting okay with the clocks changing yesterday. I know it takes me a while to adjust.
3/15 122.6 Went to the gym this morning and ran 5ish miles on the treadmill which felt good after my Sunday race. Food was a bit over yesterday but didn’t feel excessive. This morning I made my oat bran hot cereal and normally I would have fruit with it but I was so full after the cereal that I put the orange back in the fridge to have later. I highly recommend oat bran cereal if you want to mix up your oatmeal game. I’m looking forward to Saturday because I’m going to one of my friend’s house to hang out and make apple sauce (I have an abundance of apples again). I haven’t seen her in person in almost a year, so it should be really fun to catch up!
I’m excited because I bought a daily planner from personalplanner.com and they sent me an email that it shipped! I decided I needed one because I like writing out my day better than using my outlook calendar. I just feel less stressed when my to-do’s are written down on paper and then I can cross them off. I don’t know why it’s more satisfying than checking it off on a screen but it just is for me.
Food was solid yesterday and last night I made a roasted chicken that was heavenly. I always forget how yummy a simple roasted chicken can be. I had pressure cooked beets and carrots with it for a side plus gravy made from the giblets(used them to make the stock for the gravy) and a couple teaspoons of the drippings for some richness. Tonight will be leftovers or pasta, haven’t decided which one I want because I might use leftover chicken for lunch as a quesadilla. Tough decisions…

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Glad for a clean slate with this new 10-day. Going to try to quit cheating on you all. (don’t take it personally Ha!) If you are going to give me ten days, I want to be a better steward of them.
3/9: 212.8
This is an odd up-tick. Yesterday was below calories without eating back any of my big exercise calorie burn. Oh well, the body does what it does.
3/10: 214.4
OK. I have this figured out, at least partially. I have had a lot of input since Sunday, but no output to speak of. TMI
My food and exercise have been good. Obviously, my diet is missing some key elements.

Hard to get my head off the pillow this morning with the time change. Regardless, I welcome the change.
3/15: 213.8
I am starting to wonder if my scale somehow got jostled or whatever on my Holiday trip away. Before Christmas, I was consistently averaging in the 207-208 range. Now it is the 213-214 range without a big difference in my daily life. Of course, I earned the 5 pound bump over the holiday, but I usually recover from bumps.
Or, maybe I should quit blaming the scale and figure out what the real problem is. 😊
3/16: 213.2
This should have been way lower today.

3/8 😬 182.8 - gotta start somewhere
3/9 😑 181.2 - very pleased but this is what happens all the time. I’ll give it a few days to see if it sticks. Being mindful of my eating & am closing my circles
3/10 😐 180.4 - must say I’m pleased with todays weight. Keeping up with mindful eating & closing my circles. I’m going to try a Zumba YouTube video today 💃🏼
3/11 🙂 180.2 -I’ll take it! Zumba kicked my butt but was a blast!! Now I have to remember not to let the weekend be my weak end
3/12 🤨 180.8 - Grrrrrr! I was so sure I’d break the 3 month yo-yo & hit 179.9. Ate mindfully but couldn’t get my activity in as I tweaked a calf muscle after work. I have 5 more days to hit my goal!!! I WILL DO IT!
3/13 ⏰ 180.4 - Better than yesterday. Weekends are always hard for me but I am staying on track better than in the past. I’ll take that for a win!!
3/14 182.4 😩😠😩😠😩 I shouldn’t be surprised since this is my life the last 3 months! I haven’t eaten over my calories. I’ve closed my circles 6/7 days. I get sooooo discouraged when this happens. I’ll look back on my past week & see if anything jumps out at me. UGH!! I tried so hard this round 😞
3/15 DNW - just didn’t want to know. Tomorrow is a new day!! 🙂
3/16 180.8 🙂 That’s better. Continuing with mindful eating. Activity is on the light side as now my left toes hurt to bend -aka walking. WTH?? Weirdness. I will concentrate on hula hoop & yoga , stretching & arm weights.

3/11: 198.2 (+6.0) It was a whirlwind trip to Dallas, meeting up with several of my fellow artists to take an assemblage class. We had a wonderful time, drank lots of wine and a very salty margarita. I learned so much in the class and spent most days sitting working on my sculpture. It’s not done yet, but I love it. I’m guessing the salt played a big role in this gain, but it will work its way off over the next week and then I’ll be ready to get to a new low. Worth every calorie, laugh, chocolate and splatter of paint.
3/12: 197.4 (+5.2) I got home and spent some time with my eighteen year old cat, Bubba. He’s been struggling lately and I knew the time would come. A friend stayed with him at the house while I was out of town and he was so excited to see me. Later in the evening, he took a turn for the worse and it was time. I think he waited for me. So, I’m giving myself some grace and time. I’m going to miss that little guy. He was an amazing cat and had a long adventurous life. Tomorrow is the day I’m going to get back on track and back in my routine.
3/13: 197.8 (+5.6) Back on track today. My sister and I are going to take a long walk with the dogs. I’m hoping to be moving back down by the end of this challenge, although I don’t anticipate a new low weight.
3/14: 197.6 (+5.4) Yesterday was a good day and the weight should start dropping off this week. Tomorrow, I’ll get back to the pool after a week and a half away. Slowly, but surely…
3/15: 196.6 (+4.4) Finally dropping back down. It’s good to get back in the rhythm. I’m meeting several people for lunch this week. That’s going to present a bit of a challenge. I just need to stay focused.
3/16: 194.2 (+2.0) Phew! A bit relieved. I swam yesterday but did eat over my calories a bit when I met a friend for lunch. I need to get back to my exercise routine. Last week, at my art class, I didn’t hardly move at all. I’m looking forward to a new low weight next challenge.

59 year old female
5’9” [average frame]
My highest weight ever was 220 (May 2021) -I started Intermitting Fasting last year and went for 8 months but I never really focused on cleaning up my diet. This past Monday, March 7th I started a new meal plan that will allow me to eat clean and stay focused on my goals.
3/8 = 211.2 (down 1.6 from yesterday)
3/9 = 208.2 – I’m feeling really good this morning. I love that the scale is showing the water weight coming off!! I plan to hit the gym midday and do some cardio and light toning exercises.
3/10 = 208.4 – Yesterday was my largest meal consumption since I started this new meal plan. So, I’m not surprised to see a few ounces on the scale this morning. MyFitnessPal was very pleased with my food log from yesterday and told me that I could be down 20 pounds by the end of April if I followed that same eating menu!! That has me excited and I’m very happy knowing that my body is getting stronger and healthier!
3/11 = 208.2 – Again, I feel good today and I’m happy to see the 2 ounce drop. It lets me know that I’m still going in the right direction with my journey. It’s been so long since I’ve felt this good and focused on making each day the best day I can to take care of me! Tomorrow evening I have a Sip & Paint event for my sister’s birthday. I’m already planning ahead (which is key) so that I don’t sabotage all the great work I’ve done this week.
3/12 =DWM
3/13 = DWM
3/14 =208.8 – Happy Monday Everyone! So, I got on the scale this morning thinking “you know you had a few cocktails over the weekend, and you didn’t drink enough water”. Seeing that I'm up a few ounces this morning wasn’t a surprise to me. In fact, I was actually thinking that it would be a few pounds. The takeaway for me this morning is, Logging my menu choices and staying focused on keeping my body hydrated is so important. Even if I’m not at 100% discipline, those two key factors make a huge difference overall. Today I’m going to the gym and I plan to do at least 30 minutes of cardio and some light weights. Wishing everyone a healthy, productive week!
3/15 = 207.6 – This number is a pleasant surprise especially after my weekend splurge at my sister’s Sip & Paint! Yesterday I had a good 30 minutes of cardio and I cleaned up my eating (back to basics). Today I plan to do more weight lifting a light cardio.
3/16 = 206.8 – Yesterday I checked all my boxes (clean eating, exercise, 100 oz water, early bedtime). So waking up to this number keeps me excited and looking forward to the weeks ahead.
