Day/Weight/Comment
4/7 169.6 lbs I have a feeling it's going to be back up tomorrow. Hope I'm wrong!
4/8 168.0 lbs Happy to be wrong! I'm not sure what I did to earn this, but I'll take it. This is about 10 lbs down from where I started, and I'm starting to feel a slight difference. Quite a long way to go, but every milestone along the way is worth some reflection: How did I get here? Remember where I used to be? How do I make sure I don't end up there again?
4/9 168.4 lbs Well, so far this doesn't seem to be a fluke. The more I creep away from 169-point-something, the more I feel (cautiously) optimistic that I won't creep up to 170 again. But I'm still in the danger zone.
4/10 168.0 lbs I can't shake the feeling that I'm going to see an upswing soon, so I'm not going to get too excited about this number.
4/12 169.4 lbs And there it is.

Goals: HIT.MY.STEP.GOAL!!! 11,000/day; <100 carbs/day; Pelo ride 2-3x/week; Strength training 2-3x/week; end the round lower than what I started it at.
4/7: 181.6 I haven’t had that much of an overnight uptick in a while. I’m thinking it’s PMS, along with bad sleep due to a toothache, and the salty sauerkraut last night. No worries though. Step goal hit and 67 carbs.
4/8: 182.0 The PMS bloat is real this time! But it’s temporary. So while annoying, I feel strangely at peace with it right now. I am wondering if something is up with my Fitbit though, as it has my calorie burn for my Pelo ride as significantly lower than last time. Also, two nights in a row my sleep score has been the same. If it’s the same tonight, then I think I’ll look more into it. But, Pelo ride done, step goal hit, and 64 net carbs.
4/9: 181.6 63 net carbs and step goal hit. Happy to see this down tick.
4/10: 182.4 PMS is really messing with me this time around, dang! 91 net carbs and step goal hit.
4/11: 183.6 I don’t know. I had a good day yesterday, so water weight still I’m assuming. Frustrating for sure, but it should turn any day now and stay turned around. Step goal check, and 74 net carbs. Hoping I can at least end this round where I started it. Fingers crossed.6 -

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.

4/7 / 171.6 / Well after being unable to weigh on a reliable scale for the duration of my trip, and a ton of constant temptation, I'm happy my weight is where it is. That was the first vacation of that type that I've had since I started, and there were lots of lessons learned. Overall, I'm happy with the choices I made under the circumstances. I balanced fun with reasonable choices, grabbed activity where I could, and made lots of memories. Happy to be back to being able to check in daily!
4/8 / 172.8 / Got our summer tires on yesterday while the sun was out and it felt very spring like. Also picked up our dog from the sitter after a long week apart and took her on a special walk. The day went fast and we are back to work today.
4/9 / 173 / Went for two long walks yesterday and got back on the Peloton after my vacation break. Also did lots of moving around in the basement in prep for my mom's move in tomorrow. More to come today!
4/10 / 172.4 / Moving day here.. well we are staying put but the basement is ready for its new occupancy! Lots of carrying things and up and down the stairs yesterday but I also rode the Peloton and walked my dog.
4/11 / 173.6 / Worked from home, husband travelled for business, had dinner out to celebrate my Uncle's 60th, and rode the Peloton for 60 minutes. First day back in the office tomorrow since late 2020 - wish me luck. Most people haven't seen me since I lost over 100 pounds!

Round 183 ( my 115th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
It's just under 6 weeks to DS wedding and I definitely feel better than I did at the start of the last round, both with my body/weight and also my positive mind set. I now need to continue to be consistent, if I can loss a pound each of the next 4 weeks and then maintain I will be well happy, easier to say than do, but I've done it this round so just need to repeat!! Need to keep that resolve & continue to think about everything that goes in my mouth, just 1 pound a week will do it for me, that is doable, I just need to do it! Come on I can do this! Goal again this round is for a 1.5 pound loss, that would be nice; concentrate on good food choices & aim to eat back only half of daily exercise calories.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
4/7 135.8 - 9.42 miles walked & an hours yoga, later donated blood, don't know if it was that making me have the munchies all afternoon; I ate back 80% of exercise calories.
4/8 137 ?? 9.99 miles walked. Must be a normal fluctuation, I know yesterday was high carb (pizza), but I was within calories, 2/3rds exercise calories eaten back. We always have oven chips with the pizza, I meticulously weigh & log, last night 105g, 158 calories, but whilst I was eating them I suddenly realised that I don't particularly enjoy them? It's the taste of the salt & vinegar that I like !! So the realization means that I shall just have salad with my pizza in future!
4/9 136.2 – 10.29 miles, all but 2 of exercise calories eaten back. From this week in the UK it is law for menus to include the calorific value of all meals which is helpful when making food choices. It does however, make one realise how many more calories are in commercially prepared meals than when one adjusts recipes at home from scratch. I did chose a lighter meal when out to lunch with DF; larger salad instead of garlic bread with my chicken pasta alfredo.
Today we are doing afternoon tea to MIL in her care home; it is for her birthday, she has dementia and she used to really enjoy this tradition and in particular scones with clotted cream & jam, so hope this jogs her fragile memory. Adjusting other meals to help reconcile calories consumed.
4/10 137.8 - 12.37 miles, overindulged at the afternoon tea, enjoyed it, but moving on!!
4/11 137.2 – 9.65 miles walked, a better day yesterday.
4/12 136.4 -10.92 miles walked. A third of calories eaten back.

Working on my all or nothing attitude toward weight loss. Just focused on hitting my calorie range 80% of the month. Had delicious pizza for lunch yesterday and haven’t binged since Monday
4/10 - 188
Have some medical stuff going on. Never lose this fast but not letting it get to me. When I see a new low weight I tend to self sabotage so a whole new decade screams self sabotage but I’m ready to fight that urge and keep the course.

Not stressed. Knew the weekend was most likely a false low. My plan is to give myself a year and 5 months to hit my ultimate goal which averages out to needing to lose .60 a week. In this for the long haul!

4/12 - 152.2 - I had a couple little pops in my back last night and I feel much better. Still very sore and have some pain, but I'm a little more mobile and I can walk (rather than shuffle which is what I did yesterday). Stopped to get pizza last night since BF was running errands and didn't pull out anything to thaw and cook. I have some pizza for lunch today but I also have a salad, sweet potato, and grilled chicken thigh (it's super small portion, likely not enough so pizza is supplement). Also have some overnight oats with peanut butter and some fruit for breakfast. Water was good yesterday and looks to be good today. I'm already almost 30oz in and just finished coffee so ahead of schedule in that regards. Now to keep it up. Now it doesn't hurt to walk and will be easier to convince myself to get up and refill my cup haha!

Previous Day's Comments4/07 - I debated weighing since I woke up at about 1am and CHUGGED a ton of water. Probably what is reflected in this slight tick up. I drank all my water yesterday. Dinner was homemade nachos with leftovers for lunch. I also have mini peppers and a salad to supplement. Got super hungry on my drive in so eating my apple now and will make my "egg mcmuffin" after my morning meetings when I have more time to heat it up and enjoy it. Did get 3 sets of 10 for (knee) pushups and squats in my cubicle yesterday throughout the day. Simply happy it's my Friday and I can sleep in another 3 hours in the morning! Submitting tax exemption forms tomorrow then going to Fam's land to help clean up there. BF rented a bobcat for the weekend so they'll use it out at Fam's then Saturday morning (before our annual crawfish boil) and Sunday we will use it to clean up ours. Plenty of manual labor to keep the body moving this weekend.

4/11 - Not surprised. I pulled my back really really bad on Friday. I'm going to call nurse hotline this morning to see if a checkup is needed due to it being so close to my fusion and it's still hurting terribly 3 days later. My entire body feels like I just had the most intense workout of my life and I'm dealing with the DOMS from it on top of the back pain. On a good note, though, we rented a Bobcat and that little machine did the majority of the work and our house looks COMPLETELY different now that it's cleaned up so much. Still a lot to do to "settle in" such as finding deer/cow resistant plants for the front garden beds and putting up the fencing around my garden area, but it's CLEAN. No more dead wood lying around or a hollowed out, rotten tree hanging over my roof waiting for just the right wind to destroy the house. Despite the pain, it was beautiful to see everyone come over and help get things looking good.

4/12 Thursday and Friday were super busy with work and then we went away from Friday night to Monday so I didn’t end up posting. I think I’m going to wait a bit until I weigh myself again. Our weekend away was really nice and staying at the Wentworth Inn in Jackson, NH for a night of it was amazing. I highly recommend staying there if you want to get away in the North Conway area of New Hampshire. TOM arrives later this week and after it passes I’m going to check my body composition at the gym again to see where I’m at. I went to the gym this morning and was able to bump up my lifts for my incline bench press (went from 30lb to 35lbs dumbbells), 50lb to 55lb single arm dumbbell Romanian deadlifts, and 30lb to 35lb dumbbells (in each hand) for my Bulgarian split squats. So, I’m feeling really good about that especially after a weekend of indulgence.

4/7- 189.6 (-.6) No organized exercise today. Back in the art studio.
4/8- 188.4 (-1.8) Finally down to a new low weight. I’ve been logging my food and drinking lots of water. Swimming is on the agenda today. I may try to do my April mile.
4/9- 188.4 (-1.8) I had 124 minutes of exercise yesterday between a 2.5 mile walk with my dogs and a mile long swim. I almost backed out of the swim, but thought I could at least do a half hour. I felt so good once I was there, I did swim my mile and in a new record time for me 65:27! My plan was to go to Orange Theory Fitness today, but I think I’m going to take a break. Hiking is on the agenda for tomorrow.
4/10- 189.0 (-1.2) Hiking today. We’ll stay on the service road this week because the tougher trails may still have some snow and be muddy. Planning to hit those trails next week. Hoping to be solidly in the 180’s by the end of the month. I keep looking at my stats for the challenges and seeing each loss into the lower ten pound category is taking longer, but it’s still happening. Trusting the process, but still working to tighten things up.
4/11- 188.2 (-2.0) We only hiked two miles yesterday because with the wind, it was freezing! Brrrr! But two miles is better than nothing and today is a new low weight by .2 pounds. Eeking it out a little at a time. Frustrating some days, but even losing .1 here and there adds up. My doctor, who was instrumental in getting me focused on losing weight, has no idea a took up the challenge. I see him on Wednesday for my annual physical. I can’t wait!
4/12- 188.0 (-2.2) Yes, it’s coming down and that’s great, but I do miss those whooshes. After a great swim yesterday, eating right and getting all my water, I was hoping for more. It is what it is and it is not a gain. Head games in this weight loss journey. On April 1st, I weighed 188.8, so I’m .8 pounds down since the start of the month.7 -
This group is filled with people who have lost their weight and have now been maintaining for some time, those who are well on the way in the journey to health and many who are early in the process. Would you mind sharing your top 2-3 things that have made a difference for you in this process and a few of the challenges?3

Would you mind sharing your top 2-3 things that have made a difference for you in this process and a few of the challenges?
Bit long, but here we go:
1. Typical, but WATER. When I first started, I was one of those people who mistook thirst for hunger. Upping my water intake helped me recognized the difference and immediately cut out a good chunk of calories.
2. Realizing that workouts don't have to be regimented. I do love me a regimented workout, but with my commuting schedule, I've realized that any kind of movement is better than no movement. That doing manual labor around the house on the weekends can count as more of a workout than even my planned out "regimented" workout. It may be less frequent, but I get more time in moving and working my body with 1-2 days manual labor than I would doing a hour long workout 3-4 days a week. And given my circumstances, that's great! Compromise is key and I'm doing what I can with what I have.
3. Not necessarily counting calories, but checking in occasionally on my eating. I will slowly increase my intake over time without realizing it. I've found it helpful to track my intake for a day or two here and there to keep myself in check and not let things spiral or snowball out of control. This also helps me get back into thinking about whether I'm truly hungry or I'm emotional eating (sad, angry, tired, bored, etc). This is particularly applicable now that I'm commuting (stress & sleep deprivation) and sitting at a computer all day. Hello mindless snacking!
Challenges? It's slow. It's not a straight line. Life gets in the way more often than it doesn't. My work week schedule is fairly routine, but I'm not in control of what I eat because I'm not home to cook (I rely on BF to have dinner ready and leftovers from dinner are next day's lunch). Dinner is usually eaten 30-45 minutes before my bedtime (heartburn anyone?). I have ZERO time to do a workout during the work week. I don't even have enough time to get a full night's sleep. ALL things out of my control and I have to be mindful EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I have to recognize that I'm sleep deprived and it has an impact on my hunger levels. I have to adapt and ensure that if BF doesn't make veggies with dinner, I need a backup plan (usually the steamable veggies I can split between dinner and lunch). I have to make sure I get SOME kind of movement in while at work rather than sit on my behind at the computer all day. I gained weight when I began commuting in but I'm adapting. I have to understand until I get a routine in place, I will bounce around and likely won't lose. I'll learn what works, what doesn't, what helps, and what hurts. And in time, I know I'll figure out a way I can overcome all those things that are out of my control but causing my health to decline. I know that I'll find my own path and my body will adjust in time. Until then, I know I need to be patient and have some grace with myself. That's probably the hardest part of it all. The waiting game is NOT my thing
Not easy by any means, especially when my mind is going every which way with work to think about myself and my health. But I leave this group up on my laptop (I use my 2 external monitors to do my work) so it's always there as a reminder when I glance over to do a self-check in. This group has saved me from spiraling out of control. My health could've been absolutely destroyed so many times if it wasn't for the love and support of this group. My weight may not have changed too awful much, but my health has. My mindset has. And I'm beyond thankful.6 -
Any tips on finding your last post. I tried putting a few emojis and it isn't working! I just scroll and scroll! I do have the page bookmarked, but it does not go back to my last post. All help is appreciated!
@amfmmama I do my posts on a PC. In the address bar the addy ends in #latest with no spaces. This always takes me to my last post.1 -

Day/Weight/Comment
04/06 …..199.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
04/07 …..DNW ….. (Trend weight xxxxx) Travel.
04/08 …..204.0 ….. Trend weight 200.2) The buck stops here.
04/09 …..202.0 ….. (Trend weight 200.4) Probably some water weight loss after the travel meals. Hopefully under 200 again within the next 48 hours.
04/10 …..199.8 ….. (Trend weight 200.3) Travel weight/water retention disappearing which is fair. Now down to the nitty gritty.
04/11 …..201.8 ….. (Trend weight 200.5) Wow, first a big drop, then a big gain. I’m all over the place! I had a light breakfast, out to lunch with a friend for lasagna and garlic toast. I ate half and had the other half for dinner. It didn’t seem like too much food for one day but…..well……pasta!
04/12 …..200.8 ….. (Trend weight 200.5) Travel today and Friday. I will try to make good choices but it’s never good. The lack of any activity while driving really hurts too. This will be a challenging week.
04/13 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
04/14 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
04/15 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
04/16 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
