Back in 2008-9 when I did WW, they had what I thought were high numbers for “burn” and allowed 1 point for each 100 calories burned. One point allowed you to eat about 50 calories. Because I felt their burn numbers weren’t accurate, I bought my first Polar device. The chest strap measures heart rate and tells you the burn. I use their app on my phone to track and can tell when I need to increase intensity or slow down. That said, I STILL need to get my “rear in gear!!!”
I don’t routinely eat back exercise calories but I know they’re there if I need them.8 -

07/12 ……196.6 ….. (Trend weight 201.3)
07/13 ……197.0 ….. (Trend weight 200.8) Another reading in the wrong direction. I have no idea why except all of this must be related to Covid. Maybe I’m on the mend soon? Yesterday I tried a little fasting but was careful to eat when I felt the glucose slightly dropping. I ended up under 1100 calories. Still not much exercise but meals were small and carefully chosen. Lack of exercise doesn’t let me burn off what I’ve eaten so maybe that is the answer? Anyway, I’m going forward with a positive attitude. I think I am firmly in Onederland with or without the virus. I’ve just got to trust the process. It has been a long time since I have been able to go this many days in a row following my diet without interruption of travel (or anything else). I’ll admit that a time or two I wanted to comfort myself after the covid diagnosis with food because “I deserve it”. But then, I quickly realized that what I really deserve is to be healthy and happy and not trapped in a sick, old, weak, tired body. I’ve been working hard on this and being sick has given me the time to focus on myself. Dieting is never easy but I’ve kept my resolve strong, worked through the cravings and planned for the hunger.
07/14 ……197.4 ….. (Trend weight 200.5) Scale (only 1 yr old) with new batteries (2 weeks ago but admittedly cheap ones) decided to go bonkers today. I must have weighed 18 times. If I lean forward enough I could weigh 195.X . If I move the scale to a whole different room, I could weigh 200.4 . Most of the weights were in the 197’s. That feels most right to me because I ate right up to my 1400 calories yesterday but my final food was at 2:00 am when I was starving and feeling weak. Luckily I had calories to spare. In case I decide on a new scale sometime soon, does anyone have a good recommendation?

Bad day. My dog hurt her paw pads running on stones and so could not walk with me. It felt so wrong to go out and leave her sad and limping at home. Work was stressy. Family kept interrupting - WFH is so not nirvana. I gave up and ate junk.

30 days ago I morphed from a pandemic hangover couch potato to 10k steps up and down hills every day. Weight dropped fast at first then plateaued. But during the plateau my jeans got looser and my belt got tighter. So it must be true that muscle takes less room than fat. 💡💡💡 I thought that was just an urban legend. 🤣🤣🤣

Over the calorie count on the last two days but only slightly so. If I hold the line today and get plenty walks in, I still have a chance at 147.5 tomorrow.

Daily weigh in isn’t a requirement - as a matter of fact there aren’t ANY requirements. 😁 There are others here who only weigh weekly. Please don’t leave us. We love you and want to see you succeed!

Day/Weight/Comment
7/6: 132.5 - Did a skeleton pre-log of things I knew I was going to eat, which helped me make better decisions earlier in the day as to what to eat. Got my workouts in and had a great sleep!
7/7: 132.7 - Extra long walk (5 miles) and an hour of Jazzercise workouts. Went to bed way too late though.
7/8: 132.7 - Had our weekly neighborhood get together on the driveway. Full crowd - it has been so nice to get to know our neighbors over the last couple of years. Normal workouts, leftovers for lunch and dinner. Sleep was a little better, but still went to bed too late.
7/9: 132.7 - Didn’t do my usual walk, but did get my workout in. Dinner was later than normal though and I went to bed really late.
7/10: 133.4 - Potluck at a retirement party - didn’t count my calories. Got my workouts in.
7/11: 135.1 - Really didn’t count my calories. Lots of carb and fats. Ate early and late and throughout the day. I have 4 days to turn this around before the end of the round.
7/12: 133.4 - Phew, Back to maintenance range.
7/13: 132.5 - Yay - back to where I started the round, which is smack dab in the middle of maintenance range. Normal workouts yesterday and ate back every single calorie allotted. My husband and I are prepping the house a little bit for friend’s visit in about a month, which means cleaning windows, washing walls, cleaning rugs. Luckily he’s doing the windows for me and hired out for the carpeting. I still feel like I’m getting an extra workout in as we move furniture around to get to things and then find dusty baseboards that need to be wiped down.
7/14: 132.9 - Good workouts and eating but poor sleep.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for almost 5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

7/15 - Happy Birthday, Mama!
Previous Day's Comments7/06 - TOM is kicking my behind with the bloat this time around. I don't look or feel as bloated, though, but it's definitely the bloat-squish. Also finally got some TMI movement going again, but it was after weigh-in and drinking a ton of water so will wait until tomorrow to see if it helped the scale. Did wake up at the time I usually do to take BigBro to work and got a walk with the pup (1.77mi, 30 minutes. Wildlife still out roaming so she was challenging to handle at times and I was much slower than I prefer. I also struggled to get up and moving which didn't help, but now I'm glad I did). Also got 5 minutes on the rower. It's been so long and with a lumbar fusion, I don't want to go to hard or long to start off and lock up all those muscles or get too much inflammation to pinch the damaged nerve. Did that once and not doing it again. Went until I felt the muscles begin to work and tighten up, then stopped. It's been about a half hour and I'm feeling a little soreness, but no pain, which is what I aimed for. I'll work up slowly to more time/distance eventually! Did find out last night that our upright freezer isn't quite staying cold enough. Think SOME things are frozen solid, but much of it isn't, including what we pulled out for dinner last night. Ended up eating out because we didn't have anything else to make. Luckily, yesterday there were still some 4th of July sales going on and purchased a new freezer to get delivered next week (scheduled Tuesday, we'll see if that holds). Will try to sort things out today during breaks and store what's still frozen solid in the kitchen refrigerator/freezer until the new one arrives.
7/07 - Some TMI movement, TOM has finally left me alone, and now it's just me, food, exercise, and bloat to fight it out. I was absolutely exhausted this morning when my 6am alarm went off so I slept until work alarm at 7. Realized I only have Sunday to rest and relax so taking today to sleep in a bit more is worth it. Starting back next week, I have no choice but to get up and get moving at 6. Roast tonight with potatoes, carrots, and celery since I was able to salvage that from the broken freezer. Since I know we'll be eating from home, I can also take the pup for a walk after dinner and once it's cooled to get some activity in. Also knowing dinner, I can plan better for lunch. Attempting to fast as long as I can. I did put collagen protein in my coffee to help with the transition back into fasting. 1/2 serving is 35 calories so not a TRUE fast, but it's small enough and will help hold off on solid foods.
7/08 - Slowly dropping down. Food wasn't great as I ate back all of my exercise calories. Also tried a 3-ingredient peanut butter cookie (BF's fave and only cookie he'll eat) and they turned out great! So added unexpected calories for taste test before I fed it to anybody else. Fortunately it cooled off enough that the pup and I walked 2.5 miles to go get our mail, versus driving to get it. Initially I forgot my plan to get mail and started the opposite direction so by the end, it was 38 minutes so I decided to keep going to 45 minutes to hit a new "badge" on my company's wellness app and coincidently right at 2.5 miles (we can earn daily points to accumulate to $$ back on our paycheck. I can earn up to $200 back so it's a nice motivation. In the 2 weeks I've had this, I've earned $5! Halfway to earning $10 already as of last night's walk). Slept in this morning as I was, once again, so sleepy. Plus my brain initially went to the 330/4am morning I have tomorrow and that isn't a good motivation to get up. Plus, my calves are noticeably sore from the hills! Glad we did it, though, as the scale rewarded me with a drop despite the food factor. I will likely weigh in morning, but not post as I'll be driving all day. Sunday will be hit or miss, depending on what we're doing. Not sure plans for tonight, to include dinner, so I'll have leftover roast for lunch since it has a good amount of protein and I'll stock up on the veggies (BF won't eat leftovers so this is all for me!)
7/09 - DNP
7/10 - DNP
7/11 - Travel and the eating out associated with that. As well as the limited (see: almost no) stops for bathroom means not enough water (water retention). Doing a bit better today getting back on track. Woke up with a horrid migraine and was nauseous from it until about an hour and a half ago. Trying to get through the work day despite the (now) throbbing headache approaching migraine territory the longer I look at the computer. Not sure what has caused it, but it's not fun. Trying to focus on healthy habits to assist my body in fixing whatever is going on. Good news is that dinners for the week are all planned out so shouldn't have a problem with planning breakfast (should I need to break my fast early) and lunch based on my calorie allowance leftover from the planned dinner. Aiming for a walk this evening with the pup for my activity and fresh air. Hopefully the migraine/headache is gone by then
7/12 - Coming back down from the weekend. Did some research. I have insomnia and circadian rhythm disorder already and I'm used to waking up with a tiny headache that will go away within an hour, but not a migraine. Calculated it out and I've been in bed for 9-10 hours! Too much sleep can also cause issues! So I naturally woke up at 4:48am this morning, stayed in bed until 5 (actually 5:02 because I lost track of time) and forced myself up rather than forcing myself back to sleep. Knocked out a nice circuit of bodyweight (pushups, squats, glute bridges), spin bike (5 min), rower (5 min) walking rest for 30-45 seconds and repeat! Even had plenty of time to cool down and stretch before my 6am alarm went off! Plus, no headache!!!! So now, I suppose, goal is bed around 9, wake up around 5. Get in workout (unfortunately too dark out in the country to get outside) to get an indoor workout. Even better, I can hop on work at about 6 and get a solid 30-40 minutes of work done so I can hit my 9 hours before 4:30pm when I need to head out to pick up BigBro without worrying about having to get back on to finish after dinner. I think I found my routine if I can manage to battle myself out of bed at 5am. Once it's routine it'll be easier for me to fathom exerting myself so early. Already set my alarms for 5am and 6am (6am is going to be cutoff time reminder so I can still cool down/stretch before driving)
7/13 - Not much to report on. I did not get my workout done this morning as we were up late playing a game as a family. I did get the appropriate amount of sleep, though. I am sore from yesterday's indoor circuit so plan on doing some yoga or stretching today at the very least. Hopefully tonight is normal bedtime so I can get up and knock out the circuit I had planned for this morning. I've already fallen off a bit food-wise this morning but I've been absolutely ravenous. I've tracked this mornings mini-binge and tonight's dinner. I'm currently over about 40 calories. Oops! Hopefully this late-morning nom-sesh will hold me over until dinner. I'm also absolutely freezing (my hands are this horrible shade of blue/grey from the cold! And I'm in a jacket with a blanket over my lap at my desk...oof!) Will try to break even today and get my necessary movement in where and how I can. And push water since I'm also a tad behind on that as well. Maybe the shivering will burn some extra calories, too. Bahahaha

Round 192 (1st for me)
SW: 256.2
Day/Weight/Comment
7/6: 256.2 feel pretty good. I kept within my calorie goal the last two days.
7/7: 253.4 I don't know what happened, but I'll take it. I'm just hoping 🙏 I can stay within my calories tonight also. Worried because I'm feeling hungrier than usual today 😕
7/8: 254.0 went over by 200 cals yesterday. I consider it a good day because it could’ve been worse.
7/9: 253.8 I fought the late-night snacking and I WON It was hard but YES I did it. The worse part was my hip ached all night which kept waking me making me so miserable but i wouldn't get out of bed because i was afraid I'd snack. I have an anniversary party to attend today. Wish me luck on keeping within my calories 🙃
7/10: 254.2 eh on yesterday. Party was nice. Saw lots of relatives. Was able to get Mom to go (has mild dementia). She remembered most. They were surprised/happy to see her. She is the last of my Dad's side alive. He is one of 13 and him and his brothers/sisters and their spouses are all gone. It was hard to track food I think because I didn't have all but I had a tsp of this and a tsp of that for the pasta dishes. Protein was easier. Thank God that experiment is over 😆
7/11: 254.8 hmmm I lost track of where I was yesterday I was out helping Hubby and sister-in-law move things into storage for her, so I snacked for lunch because I didn't plan which made dinner okay but snacking kicked in after. Yuck . Was in bed early from the lugging heavy items around and up/down the stairs. At least I got in my exercise.
7/12: 254.8 maintained but that's okay. Not much went on yesterday. Should of exercised while I had the chance too many carbs, not enough protein. Sluggish today. Have picnic today at the club with the seniors. Luckily it's within my scheduled meal and hopefully walking around will walk off the sluggish carbs from yesterday.
7/13: 254.4 – I think I need to lower my calories. It’s seems like I’m in maintenance phase and not losing phase 🤔
7/14: 254.2 did horrible yesterday 😢 the binges didn't creep in... they attacked. Will have to be extra careful today.

I really enjoy my Withings scale! I think I have the Body+ model. I appreciate that I can sync it with an app on my phone (via Bluetooth or Wifi) and that app is compatible with MFP, FitBit, and my company's wellness app so it automatically syncs my weight to everything for me. Not sure how accurate the body fat % and water % is, but it has been fairly consistent for me (within 2-3% day-to-day) but I really only pay attention to that if I'm looking for trends or if weight seems wonky ("did I really gain/lose 5lbs overnight? Oh, ok, it's mostly water" situations). My old scale was a cheap Target or Bed Bath & Beyond one so the investment on this one was worth it.
I'll note: I've had this scale for 2-ish years. Haven't had to replace the battery (the app also tells me battery life so I know when I'm getting low) and I moved with it to our new house. No issues, no major difference in weight from a change in floor surface. Also allows for multiple users (it will automatically recognize if the weight difference is huge, like BF and I. He's 30+lbs heavier than I am and on those rare times he weighs, it recognizes its him and puts that data on his profile in the app without messing up my data/trends. I really love that part since he never tells me when he weighs)6 -
Too late to edit my post: dinner tonight at Fam's since we haven't seen them in almost 2 weeks. I know what the main meal is but not the sides. Based on breakfast and lunch, I'll need to burn off a few calories for any sides as I only have 50 calories left for the day. Oops! But water is doing well between yesterday and today so that's helping me feel full.7

Hi, I’m Kathy.
58, F, 5’8”
18th round! Rebooting my lifestyle after several false starts. I need accountability to make sure it gets done.
Return to MFP SW (Dec 2021): 267
HSW: 267
RSW: 229.0
UGW for now: 195, then reevaluate
Goal for this round: less than I started with
2022 goals: move more (okay, move some), eat mindfully
Day/Weight/Comment
7/6 229.0 A bit out of control this weekend. I broke my cardinal rule and didn’t log everything I ate and drank for three days. Especially drank. Lots of get-togethers with friends that took me out of my comfort zone. Now to get back on track, effective immediately.
7/7 227.8 Glad to see the scale start moving back down. Had a good day yesterday and hoping for a great day today even though I’m not feeling so hot physically. Meals are planned and logged; lots of leftovers from the weekend but we’ll eat them in a sensible way.
7/8 226.2 Good news – I’ve now dropped all the bloat I picked up over the holiday weekend. Bad news – I’ve also just tested positive for COVID. Going to keep drinking water and eating sensibly when I feel like eating.
7/9 224.4
7/10 225.8
7/11 223.4 The COVID struggle is real here. My husband tested positive on Saturday but we’re doing okay. Fortunately our son is over it so he can pick up food and groceries, etc. This new variant is no joke. I can tell I’m getting better, though, because I’m hungry again. 😊 Why is it that when I’m sick, all I want is unhealthy food?
7/12 224.0 Well, today’s my birthday. This round of COVID has hit me hard and I still feel awful, which stinks. My son made pancakes this morning and they’re the first thing that’s felt settled in my stomach since Friday. So maybe carbs are the answer, at least for today.
7/13 226.0 Thanks for all the birthday thoughts and well-wishes! I did indulge in carbs yesterday (including a piece of cake!) and received the expected result from the scale. But I know it’s temporary and for right now I have to do what works best for me. Feeling a bit better today, which is a huge relief.
7/14 227.2 More carbs yesterday and I don’t feel bad about it. Today is the first day I feel anything approaching normal, which is a huge relief. Looking forward to getting back on plan.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 192 ( my 124th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round is just to lose, I want my Commonwealth Volunteer uniform to feel a little less “snug” ! No binges, keep within calories & macros.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.

7/8 139.4 – providing child care for 2 little DGD yesterday; the older one (3) was sick with a really nasty cold/virus so very little movement yesterday hence calories were over and it shows on scales.
7/9 138.6 – 9.79 miles walked yesterday, all but 55 exercise calories eaten back.
7/10 139.4 – 13.64 miles walked yesterday, ¾ exercise calories eaten back, 12 carbs over.
7/11 140.4 – 15.02 miles walked yesterday, ¾ exercise calories eaten back. We didn't take a picnic on our walk like we normally do at weekends, we stopped a little over half way at an old fashioned restaurant/bar and had a ploughman's platter washed down with a cider. I guesstimated the food portions as best I could and only had 2 pieces of fruit for evening meal so I was hoping I'd not gain. I am guessing/hoping that this gain is mainly due to the extra sodium, MFP shows 1597mg sodium & 34g fat over. We had a selection of cheeses, pepperoni, salami, parma ham, blue cheese, salad, coleslaw, pork pie, fresh bread, more cheese!! There was a lot of cheese!! I did drink a ton of water, especially as it was so hot to keep hydrated, but it was delicious and presented so attractively too, oh well will be super extra good today to make up for it! Already been out and walked over 8 miles before the heat builds up to much.
7/12 139.4 – 9.91 miles walked yesterday, no exercise calories eaten back, chugges so much water !! Need constistency now.
7/13 138.4 - 8.69 miles walked, 20% of exercise calories eaten back. Still really chugging that water, keeping hydrated !
7/14 138.4 – 12.28 miles walked yesterday, 40% exercise calories eaten back.

KEEP SAFE EVERYONE
. Keep calm – Covid is still out there despite lifting of practically all restrictions, take care, remain vigilant we're still in this together!
?ﾟﾑﾍThis is NOT A DIET. It’s a PERMANENT HEALTHY LIFESTYLE?ﾟﾑﾍ6 -
@musicsax I'm amazed you walk so far each day! Do you walk outside or on a treadmill? I feel like each of your days would be a major hike or something for me!
I walk outside, I'm retired so my "work" each day is my walking, but I use this time for me; I plan, reflect, problem solve and enjoy the miracles of nature & our natural world, also it's good for my mental health as well as physical. While it is so hot I get out early; 7 o'clockish to get the steps in before temperatures get too high!
At weekends I walk with DH (he still works full-time), we sometimes drive out to the countryside, or we might go away for the weekend in our touring caravan or even if we are on holiday we try to plan to be somewhere we can walk straight out of the door without having to travel in the car.
In the week I walk alone out from our house and around the neighbourhood/s. Where ever I need to go if I can walk I will, so if I need the odd couple of groceries in the week as long as I can carry them then I walk, I walk to my manicurist, I walk to visit DMIL & DS, from the garage & then back when the car is in for it's annual service & MOT, to the dentist, I go on foot to my volunteer shifts & then back, although when I do the Commonwealth Games later this month in Birmingham I will need to use the bus & the train, but there will still be some walking at the start, inbetween & then end of the journeys. In fact as long I have the time and it's not too far, then I walk !! It has been a life changer for me !!

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.
