THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/27 - 210.6 I’ve not been very faithful the last several rounds. We’ve had a lot of stress in the household but hopefully after today it will be better. Refocused and ready to start another new round and lose a bit of weight. I’m the highest I’ve been in years and my 60th birthday is in December. My big goal is to be a lot lighter by then but to whittle it down a little each round. Here’s to a restart and refocus to losing weight and getting healthier.
4/28 209.6 I did better yesterday with food and recording it all. Suffered from vertigo so didn’t do much but sit. Today is a better day and just working on one day at a time.
4/29 209.8 I’m okay with that. Ate some crackers yesterday so there’s some salt. Slept better too.
4/30 209.8 Stayed the same. Had a fairly good day yesterday.
5/01 209.4. Down a little,I’ll take it!

Previous days
4/27 Did not post
4/28 Finally starting to feel better. I was able to work a full day of work yesterday and plan to have a full day today as well. I went for a walk yesterday morning and went for a very short one this morning because I was chilly. So, things are looking up!
4/29 did not post
4/30 did not post
5/1 did not post
5/2 Didn’t post the last few days because there wasn’t too much going on besides just resting on the couch for most of the weekend. I went back to the gym for the first time in 13 days and it felt really good. I took it easy but was still able to complete most of my workout. I ended up using lower weights to make it a little easier and then skipped the cardio at the end. Tomorrow I plan on doing a short slow run to ease back into it. I was reading that when you start back after covid it’s best to do 50% of what you did prior for a week and then the next week you can do 60-70% and then 80-90% and then 100% with it taking about a month to get back to where you were. Things are definitely looking up and I was definitely less fatigued today, which was great. Now, I’m off to bed. Have a good night!

Round 185 ( my 117th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
It's just a day short of 3 weeks to DS wedding, I feel back on track, could I possibly lose another 3 pound by then? That's a pound a week or 1.5 pound per round. Only if I don't mess things up! Need to lose again this round, just lose!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.

4/27 - 210.8 - Hoping this challenge will help me get back into my routine of weighing daily and thinking about what I'm eating and why
4/28 - 209.6 - Drank lots of water yesterday and stuck to my calorie budget. Having sugar free jello snacks saved my budget when my sweet tooth hit after dinner.
4/29 - 208.8 - Tough night sleeping last night and got the snack attack feeling. Was able to reject the call to bury my face in a bowl of froot loops but it was a close LOL
4/30 - on vacation and forgot my scale 🥺 will try to keep track of calories anyway
5/1- on vacation and forgot my scale 🥺 will try to keep track of calories anyway
5/2 - 206.6 - Got food poisoning Saturday from salad (go figure) so this number makes sense after a day of just water and saltine crackers yesterday. Pretty sure it will bounce back up again.
5/3 - 206.6 - Still recovering 🤢 but staying hydrated and I'm able to eat bread now so that's good.

5/03 - 153.1 - Not a good day food wise, but water was on point. I was super hungry and started getting lightheaded so I had to grab extra food. I didn't even bother to track it. BF had to run some errands and wasn't home before I went to bed last night. He thawed some chicken thighs so I tossed those in to the air fryer and got some steamable cheesy broccoli for sides for lunch. I have today's and tomorrow's lunch prepped and had the last of the mac&cheese and jalapeno pepper with my thigh last night. Tonight's plan is steak&bean smothered burritos (works out as BigBro usually gets a second serving and there's not enough leftover for lunch. I have lunch already made so he can eat ALL of it with no worries). Boys got home about 45 minutes after I went to bed and the dog gave me a mini heart attack. I had dozed off and didn't hear them come in until she went bark-crazy in bed next to me. Oof. Took a long while until my heart rate went back to normal hahah! Still more sleep than Monday night and I feel a little more alive today. Hopefully I can keep hunger levels down. Off to a better start than yesterday by not being absolutely starving by the time I got to work. Coffee up next which will help with suppressing appetite a bit.

Previous Day's Comments4/27 - Coming back down, finally. Calories were over by 162, but that's still below maintenance so I can't complain too much. Granted, my Fitbit doesn't seem to want to sync automatically anymore and I have no movement from yesterday to potentially offset my eating. Setting that up again now. Dinner was pseudo-chili. Last minute thrown together dinner with what we had available in the house. With it, came corn muffins (BF makes the best, I swear). That's lunch today. I have another bagel egg cheese sandwich for breakfast because I completely blanked on pulling out the english muffins from the freezer and I realized today was shower morning so breakfast had to be made the night before. BUT!!! I did remember while eating dinner to pull out the english muffins for tomorrow's breakfast, whether I make it tonight or in the morning, I'm set up. Hoping today I can find excuses to get moving, even just a little.
4/28 - 18 calories over yesterday. I'm becoming more and more convinced that it will be nearly impossible for me to lose weight while working this job given my hours and commute. I can walk 10,000 steps, eat 1400 calories or less a day (and I lost weight prior to commuting on 1600-1800 so it's not likely that I need anything lower, I simply lowered due to being a bit more sedentary), and eat all healthy food and yet I gain or maintain. Based on the mirror, my belly is what is getting bigger which likely means visceral fat. I've done the research and all I can find is "get more sleep" but that is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE unless I manage to find a way to sleep and drive without killing myself or others. Or I quit my job and lose my house/truck/car/phone/everything. Sorry, I'm ranting but I'm so completely and utterly lost. Appointment with the dietician tomorrow and I'm going to bring all this up to her. I'm at my wits end. Still trying to get back into fasting (which the dietician is starkly against, don't know why...). If anybody has any advice on losing weight when chained to a desk 10 hours a day with a 3-4 hour daily commute and getting AT MOST 6.25 hours of sleep, I'd be BEYOND appreciative. I feel so unhealthy, fat, disgusting, and all the bad things. I miss feeling good and it's really getting to me mentally.

5/02 - I didn't sleep well. Late to bed, woke up a TON and then ended up waking up at 1:27am and couldn't fall back asleep. I'm running on empty and it's not even 6am here. Hopefully I'll get some decent sleep tonight. Rather shocked my weight wasn't up more this morning. Hopefully I can maintain that through the week and maybe drop some. Guess it'll depend on sleep and therefore hunger levels. I do have my protein shakes and my salmon packets to fill me up for not a lot of calories JUUUUUUUST in case it gets out of hand. I made peanut butter banana baked oatmeal and it tastes like banana bread, just less sweet! That's my breakfast for the next 2 weeks as the recipe made 9 servings (4 for this week, 4 next week, and my tester after baking). Bonus: its less calories than my overnight oats by almost 200. That'll give me a little more wiggle room for lunch and dinner! Today will be a focus on water and simply staying awake.

I am switching up my logging method to rounding to the nearest whole pound. Too much daily anxiety over these fractions!

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.

I splurged on snacks yesterday afternoon. Emotional eating, I guess. Anyway, I was deliberate enough to get something I really wanted, and I was reasonable the rest of the day. I think that got the urge out of my system. Off to run off my breakfast in agility class—maybe some of the snacks, too?
4/28 - 180.2
I behaved myself yesterday, so the + is from Tuesday’s pig out. 😁
4/29 - 180
Yesterday was higher calorie than I’d hoped, partly because DH made stuffed peppers with chorizo for dinner and they were a bit hefty, and partly cuz I came home hungry from dog training and had some ice cream. Oh, well. Today’s a new day, and I’ll get some garden exercise. A while back I ordered four roses, three of them climbers, and they’re scheduled to arrive today. Very exciting! Happy Friday, all!
4/30 - 180.8
Not unexpected, from Thursday’s higher calories. No problem. That said, I’m thinking of trying a session of not counting calories, just being mindful of what I’m eating and whether I’m really hungry. I know that often I see my total calories and think, oh, I have room for a few more, and those few quickly wind up doubled or tripled late in the day. I sometimes think part of my “stuckness” — for years, decades— is having an almost constant focus on food. We’ll see. Maybe I’ll make next round an experiment. Cant be worse than the non-results I’ve had for the past months (years?) since regaining 40 pounds. Why is this so hard?
5/01 - 180
🌹🌹🌹Welcome to the lusty month of May!🌹🌹🌹 I have four roses, a lilac, a peony, and a bunch of sweet pea seedling to plant, plus lots of garden tidying. Yay! And it’s soup day—I’m making a chorizo, spinach & sweet potato soup. Enjoy your day!
5/02 - 180
Yesterday was a good day, and I plan to repeat. Happy Monday!
5/03 - 180.2
Rainy day, which is perfect for the four roses I planted yesterday. 🌧 Off to Rory’s final scent work class of the session. Then we get a two-week break. Gardening! 😁 Have a lovely day, all!

4/27 189.8 (+.2) Busy day. I leave for vacation on the 6th of May and won’t have access to a scale. Packing and planning.
4/28 189.2 (-.4) No organized exercise, but a lot to do, today. Trying to stay focused.
4/29 189.2 (-.4) Heading to the pool today and a long walk with the dogs. Stressed out trying to get all the trip details taken care of and all the things that need to be done before then. Leaving in a week.
4/30 189.4 (-.2) Happy to be staying in the same range. I guess I’m going to somewhat maintain until I leave, although, my art show is tonight. So I will have a glass of wine and probably a bit more food than usual.
5/1 189.8 (+.2) I had a wonderful time at the art show last night. The art was incredible and the food was amazing. Not surprised at this uptick and expecting that it will be a bit higher tomorrow. My sister flies into town this morning. She’s going on vacation with me.
5/2 190.6 (+1.0) Packing, running errands, etc. Lots of prep work. Almost there!!
5/3 190.4 (+.8) Hoping to get the dogs out for a long walk today. Coming down after my big event on Saturday. I’m not logging, but keeping an eye on what I’m eating.

Hello and thank you for the challenge! I haven’t participated in several years but need some motivation and remembered how well this worked for me at one time. I gained about 15lbs!!! from the fall and winter, have lost some the last few months and now the last 10 needs to go. I exercise fairly heavily but need to be more consistent with cutting calories. Here goes!

4/27 - 210.6 I’ve not been very faithful the last several rounds. We’ve had a lot of stress in the household but hopefully after today it will be better. Refocused and ready to start another new round and lose a bit of weight. I’m the highest I’ve been in years and my 60th birthday is in December. My big goal is to be a lot lighter by then but to whittle it down a little each round. Here’s to a restart and refocus to losing weight and getting healthier.
4/28 209.6 I did better yesterday with food and recording it all. Suffered from vertigo so didn’t do much but sit. Today is a better day and just working on one day at a time.
4/29 209.8 I’m okay with that. Ate some crackers yesterday so there’s some salt. Slept better too.
4/30 209.8 Stayed the same. Had a fairly good day yesterday.
5/01 209.4. Down a little,I’ll take it!
5/02 209.8
5/03 210 Really struggling with the snacking. I did go for a short walk yesterday and hope to get more steps in today.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/26 …..202.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
04/27 …..204.4 ….. (Trend weight 201.9) Travel yesterday with no shopping/walking. Very little natural calorie burn and Golden Corral for dinner. Yep, that’ll do it! Gotta really watch my P’s and Q’s today!
04/28 …..204.2 ….. Trend weight 202.1) A small drop even though dinner was out with my son, his friend and friend’s mother. A nice simple meal that didn’t go over the top.
04/29 …..202.4 ….. (Trend weight 202.2) We are in the midst of the sanding of the kitchen and dining room renovation. Sand everywhere! There has been a lot more of carry-out dinners and local restaurant meals but I’ve been keeping the choices reasonable. To me, in this very small town, the local restaurant food is tiresome after 24 years here. It’s much easier to not over-indulge than when I go to bigger cities that have so many delicious and hard-to-resist choices. I love trying new things and that often gets me in trouble! Anyway, glad to see a nice drop today even after dinner carry-out (Mexican). I’m going to try to get more movement today but I dunno…. We’ll see how the schedule goes. My birthday is May 10th. I would like to solidly be back under 200 lbs as a giant present to myself.
04/30 …..203.2 ….. (Trend weight 202.3) Very long travel today across the state. I won’t be home until late tonight. Low level movement and meals out = oh no!
05/01 …..204.6 ….. (Trend weight 202.5) April was not good to me. Or maybe, I was not good to April. Yeah, I think that’s it.
05/02 …..204.6 ….. (Trend weight 202.7) I should have done better but I couldn’t get satiated yesterday. I think my bigger body is fighting for more food so I am going to have to plan more volume with less calories and carbs to get through this. According to Fitbit, I’ve had more sleep last night but I feel hungover. Is there such a thing as a food hangover?
05/03 …..203.8 ….. (Trend weight 202.8) I’m grateful for any progress but I know I can do better. I am not doing Keto at this time but I definitely should be watching the carbs a bit more. I need to better keep them in mind when making my choices. That would make a huge difference for my weight and my glucose levels. Now just doing it…….

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Day/Weight/Comment
4/27 237.2 Lots of stress right now so I’m glad to be down. Some major stuff going on at work, and a good friend is having a very hard time. Doing the best I can and controlling the things I can control – mainly, planning and logging, and drinking water.
4/28 237.4 Work got CRAZY yesterday, but I made it through until the very end of the day. Son had given me a small solid chocolate bunny for Easter. I quartered it into reasonable serving sizes and squirreled them away, but yesterday I was so burnt out I pulled one out. But I kept it to one and it was within my calories. And it was so good. Meals are planned and logged for today, and hopefully work will be better.
4/29 237.2 traveled to husband’s college reunion
4/30 DNW – travel
5/1 DNW – travel
5/2 239.8 Home finally from husband’s college reunion. I knew I’d be up but I didn’t expect it to be this much. I know this is just traveling, lack of water, alcohol and eating out, so it should drop over the course of this week. Pounding water today and back to the gym. Still catching up on posts.
5/3 239.2 Got disturbing news just before bed last night so I didn’t sleep at all well. Plus allergies are really kicking my butt right now. Worked out yesterday and ate well, but I’m at the office today and didn’t have time/energy to bring lunch or even think about dinner. Must rally before tomorrow, when I’m helping move son out of his college dorm and home for the summer.
