Day/Weight/Comment
8/5 / 165.8 / Today after work my husband and I go up to the lake.. it's been a couple weekends since we've been there so we'll have grass cutting chores. Lots of relaxing otherwise!
8/6 / 164.6 / Back to my maintenance range. Woo hoo! Yesterday I did a 30 minute Peloton ride and got my 10,000 steps. We have a celebratory dinner tonight at the lake for a friend who has been successfully kicking cancer's butt for a year now.
8/7 / 165.8 / Didn't get many steps yesterday - went out for one walk but mostly ended up relaxing at our trailer. My husband cooked the celebratory meal for our friends.
8/8 / 167 / Did walking, yoga, and strength for exercise yesterday. Our friends had us over for homemade pizza.
8/9 / 166.2 / Dealing with some pretty big upcoming changes at work and finding the stress difficult. Trying to ensure I don't let my self care suffer. Still finding ways to execute on my good habits.
8/10 / 167.6 / My night last night turned into a self-pity meltdown. I missed my exercise, had a donut and wine, and put myself to bed early. Today was a much better day all around. I did a good strength session, got in a bit of walking, and ate well.
8/11 / 167.4 / Did a strength class after getting home last night and got to bed early. Haircut after work tonight.

Finally! I actually thought I might be up this morning—after 3 hours of tracking last night (which means 3 hours walking on a variety of surfaces from asphalt and concrete to mowed grass to knee-high weedy fields to lay tracks, track Rory, and follow my training partners as their dogs track) I was hungry (and skipped dinner) so I had popcorn and then a small dish of ice cream. I know, I know, but hey, I got my whole grain and fiber, my calcium, and a whole lot of satisfaction. 😁 Anyway, I’m glad to see this drop—I re-weighed three times to be sure! This morning I’m doing laundry and some weeding—the summer fun never stops! Here are a couple of shots of my gardens, back & front.
8/6 - 177.8
I thought yesterday’s check in was a little optimistic! That’s fine. Lots of miscellaneous jobs to do today, so that will keep me moving. Have a lovely Saturday!
8/7 - 177.4
Rory and I were out the door at 6:30 this morning to track with a friend before it gets too hot, which it’s starting to do. It was lovely out early, though! Enjoy your Sunday!

Apparently I failed to post for two days. But I’m sure I did. Hmmmm. Anyway, I filled in the missing weights, kicked up over the weekend. I did a bit of emotional eating. Oh, well, doing the best I can right now.
8/11 - 177.6
Later than usual. I weighed first thing but then was off to the vet with Rory and after that, i was sidetracked all day. But here I am! Off to do some tracking in a few minutes. Yep

Just wanted to share with my MFP fam....here is where I get my weekend calorie burn. (I cant get my steps in but I can swim like nobody's business!) Sadly this is the last year I will have access to this pool but I have used it for 22 beautiful years! And Im grateful!

I have done this challenge before and it really helped keep me on track to healthy living. I have since gained most of that weight back (and then some) but I'm not discouraged. I am a 21-year old varsity college athlete who is just looking to lean up a bit - taking small goals at a time as weight-loss isn't my goal - just trying to lean myself into a healthier lifestyle.Round 146: -5.1lbsSW: 181.1lbs

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 195 ( my 127th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round again is to lose. I need to continue to resist the Commonwealth Games Volunteer goodies to keep the movement downwards (3 shifts out of 10 left to do !! ) 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.

Previous days8/5 Not sure what today is but yesterday I weighed and was around 124.2 I think. I didn’t get a chance to post yesterday because I had to start my work day an hour earlier. Then, we ended up unexpectedly replacing my husband’s car (it was time and decided to stop at one of the dealerships we were passing to see what they had. The past two years have been expensive for his 11 year old car with $500-$1,800 dollar expenses often). So, that delayed our trip by a few hours but the dealership was amazing and did everything they could to have us be able to drive off the lot that night with a “new to us” 3 year old car.
Food was decent for me yesterday except for McDonalds for dinner at 10 o’clock because of the delayed evening.

8/8 Did not post
8/9 Did not weigh or post. Started to type it out but had to log into work. New Hampshire was a solid weekend get away. Now back to the gym, work, and making healthy food choices. Did lower body today and it felt really good. I’m continuing to go up in weight, which is really encouraging
8/10 Did not weigh. Work is crazy busy and I got home later from the gym this morning so I didn’t have a chance to post. Food was good all day and I even resisted us going out to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner tonight.
8/11 did not post,went right into the office after the gym.
8/12 124.5 Feeling really good this morning after working out. It was an upper body push day and it felt really solid. Also, muscle pump is super satisfying to see even if it doesn’t last all day. Food has been good the past couple days. We’re staying home this weekend, so food over the weekend should be decent as well.
This weekend I'll be hitting the gym tomorrow morning and then cleaning out the other side of our basement because the construction process to build us more living space is finally getting rolling! The builders who will be working with us are coming over Monday and hopefully, we'll have a start date after meeting with them. Permits have been processed...so I'm getting very excited. This has been almost 3 years of waiting with countless plans changing/morphing over time. When everything is complete we'll be going from ~480 sq ft of finished living space to about 750-800 sq ft of living space. This will include a galley kitchen (currently using a convection oven/air fryer and a hot plate burner thing for our "kitchen" in the unfinished side of the basement plus a basement slop sink for dishes), an extra bedroom/office space for me, and a small full bathroom (currently using the one two flights of stairs up from us), and a dog house basement entrance (currently lifting the bulk head every time we go in/out). After almost 8 or 9 years of living this way, I can't wait to have this project completed! Now to get ready for a busy day but a good one. Happy Friday all!

/walking/ Family reunion this Saturday night. Sister In-law and DH with us over the weekend. They always bring some nutrition damaging store bought snack or treat. Going to try to think twice before damage is done.
8/6: 217
/ not much/ This big bump up in weight is not as bad as it looks since I round to the nearest whole number. And, it is not without reason. TMI, TMF (food), TMS (salt), TMD (drink).

/walking/ It hurts to report this number, but this is why I am here, so I can own up to my compulsive behavior. DW made a belated Birthday Blueberry Pie. (my preference in lieu of BD cake) Lots of reunion/houseguest food + leftovers. I probably ate a whole fried chicken over the course of two days.
8/9: 219
/walking/ Still recovering from the weekend obviously. I don’t like myself very much right now, but I will get over it. 😊
As a start, I want to eliminate processed sugar and severely reduce other carbs from the diet. (except for the last piece of blueberry pie.) Time to set a couple world records (at least personal bests) for low carb consumption.
8/10: 216
/spinning and stretching/
Yesterday was not the low carb record day…. Not with that last piece of pie to finish off. In spite of that, I DID make a choice to avoid a lot of carbs.
8/11: 215
/none/ Did manage to keep calories logged and under yesterday.
8/12: 215
/pickleball/ Pickleball is a fun game. Played last evening and one time on my trip to Colorado. Played doubles with DW and another couple. I hurt myself playing about a year ago, so I am mindful of staying within my own limits. (I can’t go diving for those dink shots! HA!)

ROUND 194
SW: 179.27/26: 179.2 puffy leg this morning. that's not new, and i think it may have reduced a little since yesterday. salt intake was high yesterday, i'll have to watch that. calories and macros were great! so many things to stay focused on.
7/27: 177.2 keeping up with the water is helping. leg is practically back to normal, just a little puff around the ankle. calories and macros were on point again, but sadly sodium was still a little high.
7/28: 175.8 i think all the water weight is gone... the rest is probably the actual weight i gained. i usually eat a slice of white bread w/peanut butter as a snack for the last thing i eat. it carries me through 'til breakfast. i messed up last night and missed my snack. ended up eating PB bread at 2am today, so calories will be over today, and were under yesterday.
7/29: 175.8 i'm actually quite happy to see this weight. my calories were excessive yesterday (as expected). I was sure to get my PB bread BEFORE going to bed last night. i will probably see a weight gain later in the week for my mess up.
7/30: 174.8 look at that! it says i'm down a pound. did really good with calories yesterday, macros were off. oh well, keep on moving in the right direction.
7/31: 173.4 my scale is just being deceitful again. i'll keep logging what it's spewing out, but don't believe a word of it.
8/1: 172.6
8/2: 172.2 not feeling my best this morning, so expecting a gain over the next few days. eating foods that will settle in my belly vs. counting calories. drinking ginger ale vs. water. got a little worried about covid since i just got back from the cruise, but took the rapid test, and got negative results. so, all i have to worry about will be added calories to my diet.
8/3: 172.8
8/4: 172.4 back to the diet (sort of). the man wants cheese burgers. i bought the ground beef, and handed it over to him. he said he made 6oz. patties for freezer and we each get a 5oz patty today. cheese burgers sound great, but oooh the calories. i took my burger and smooshed it very thin with 1 piece of cheese. once cooked, i cut the burger in half and placed the other half on italian bread w/mustard. i'll have the other half tomorrow. i'll be over my allotted calories for weight loss, but still below my maintenance calories.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/5: 172.4 not a bad place to start the challenge
8/6: 171.8 weight is "pre" everything. i usually weigh in after i've had coffee and water. haven't had coffee or water yet this morning, so i'm figuring i'm at least a solid 172 lbs.
8/7: 172.4
8/8: 171.8
8/9: 171.4 i am actually getting excited to see the 160's. maybe by round 197??? what an accomplishment that would be!
8/10: 171.8 had 1/2 a blueberry muffin from sams club yesterday. had the other 1/2 this morning. i knew i shouldn't have, but who can just leave a muffin top just sitting there!
8/11: 171.4 that muffin sent me on a carbohydrate binge. exceeded calories and days was primarily carbs and fat, very little protein. my indiscretions always takes a few days before they surface. wish it was cooler, i might have been able to walk a little bit of that off. this summer has been miserably hot. diet diligence for the rest of the challenge!
8/12: 170.2 the loss has confused me. after the carb. binge, i have mostly been eating fruits and vegetables. i did also have chicken wings, which i think i mis-calculated nutrition on (on the higher side) so i probably had way less calories than is healthy.
8/13:
8/14:4 -
I have done this challenge before and it really helped keep me on track to healthy living. I have since gained most of that weight back (and then some) but I'm not discouraged. I am a 21-year old varsity college athlete who is just looking to lean up a bit - taking small goals at a time as weight-loss isn't my goal - just trying to lean myself into a healthier lifestyle.Round 146: -5.1lbs

8/10: 190.0 - this is +17 lbs from where I was the last time I did this challenge. Not to be discouraged because this is also 5lbs DOWN from where I was at the beginning of summer. Excited to see how my numbers progress over the days!
8/11: 189.8 - gonna be tough this weekend to be in my deficit as it's my anniversary
8/12: 190.4 - not a promising start to the weekend, I may be unable to weigh tomorrow but it is what it is. I'm not restricting myself from food at all this weekend so we'll see where that takes us. 8 more days until I move and I can properly meal plan

Finally! I actually thought I might be up this morning—after 3 hours of tracking last night (which means 3 hours walking on a variety of surfaces from asphalt and concrete to mowed grass to knee-high weedy fields to lay tracks, track Rory, and follow my training partners as their dogs track) I was hungry (and skipped dinner) so I had popcorn and then a small dish of ice cream. I know, I know, but hey, I got my whole grain and fiber, my calcium, and a whole lot of satisfaction. 😁 Anyway, I’m glad to see this drop—I re-weighed three times to be sure! This morning I’m doing laundry and some weeding—the summer fun never stops! Here are a couple of shots of my gardens, back & front.
8/6 - 177.8
I thought yesterday’s check in was a little optimistic! That’s fine. Lots of miscellaneous jobs to do today, so that will keep me moving. Have a lovely Saturday!
8/7 - 177.4
Rory and I were out the door at 6:30 this morning to track with a friend before it gets too hot, which it’s starting to do. It was lovely out early, though! Enjoy your Sunday!

Apparently I failed to post for two days. But I’m sure I did. Hmmmm. Anyway, I filled in the missing weights, kicked up over the weekend. I did a bit of emotional eating. Oh, well, doing the best I can right now.
8/11 - 177.6
Later than usual. I weighed first thing but then was off to the vet with Rory and after that, i was sidetracked all day. But here I am! Off to do some tracking in a few minutes. Yep

Enjoy your Friday, all! I have two new roses to plant, so I’ll enjoy that. 🌹

I’ve come back.. again! 😁 let’s get this done!!! I’ve been weight training instead of only cardio, so I’m not sure how this will pan out with scale weight only. I know the real victory is how I look in the mirror as things progress, but I always need some sort of number motivation.

8/05: 133.4 - Holding steady. Did my workouts and normal eating and good sleep.
8/06: 133.8 - Normal workouts and eating.
8/07: 133.2 - Normal workout plus cleaned the refrigerator. Went to a barbecue at a friend’s place and they had so many fresh vegetables from their garden - delicious!
8/08: 133.2 - Ate back every calorie on my plan. Snuck a small walk in at the end of the day to bring up my exercise calories.
8/09: 132.9 - Worked out and then finished the rest of the house cleaning in preparation for our friends’ arrival. They called around 5pm with the news that the wife tested positive for Covid just then. We’re all so disappointed as we’ve been looking forward to this visit for almost a year.
8/10: 132.1 - Got both my workouts in. Good eating within calories. Didn’t do much yesterday other than a little unsuccessful shopping trip.
8/11: 133.4 - Had a nice long hike, but then ate a bunch of salty, sweet, carby things the rest of the afternoon/evening.
8/12: 133.4 - Recovering from the hike (and fall) the day before so didn’t do anything more strenuous than a 35 minute slowish walk around the neighborhood. Consequently, didn’t have the exercise calories to consume, but ate as if I did.

@eaper64 Keep tracking honestly and learn your body’s pattern. This is how I noticed that it generally takes 2-3 days for what I eat to show on the scale. Carbs + Fat daily WILL add up.2

Thank you for asking, Sheila. Yes, we are fine. All of the thunder and lightning lately has yielded less than a thimbleful of rain in our area! We would love to see some rain OR would love to see the humidity go away! At 103 degrees, even 28% humidity is miserable.

8/6 118.0. GKI 6.6 Made chicken enchiladas from the leftover chicken breast. They were a little bland for my taste but DH has an intolerant tummy. In hindsight, mine are made in 1c corn tortillas and look different from his. I should have put some jalapeños in mine! Well, there are leftovers for today. DGD#2 arrives this evening. Eating out both tomorrow and Monday. A show tomorrow night and she gets to meet her new cousin who is 6 weeks old today.
8/7 118.5 GKI 12.7 Today we ladies are getting mani/pedis, family lun-ner at Great Greek and a show with DGD#2 at South Point.
8/8 118.5 GKI 11.0 The show last night was very good. Dinner at Juan’s Flaming Fajitas tonight with family.
8/9 120.5 GKI 7.5 I knew I would be up and I’m fine with it. It may go up more and that’s okay. Steak fajitas for late (for us) dinner, about 3 chips and one small flour tortilla (both of those are house made,) also one regular Margarita and one skinny Margarita. The later was SOOO sweet! Awake at 5:20 this morning.
8/10 119.5 GKI 12.3 I ate the 2 small flour tortillas I had left. DGD#2 went home. Amazing and sad how empty the house felt last night.
8/11 118.5 GKI 8.3 Under all macros because I wasn’t really hungry.

08/10 -197.0- (Trend weight 199.8)
08/11 -198.0- (Trend weight 199.6) I had a mini-binge last night because I skipped lunch and threw away exactly half of my dinner. I had terrible heart episodes all evening and night and was closer to 911 than I have ever been so appetite was gone until very late when I ate. Blood pressure was running way too low for hours 81/51 but pulse kept running at about 100-105 resting. I had to instruct my son on the nitro, just in case, clear a spot for an ambulance gurney to get in (among this remodel mess), talk to him about aspirin for me, and lay down because fainting was a very real possibility. I sipped a lot of water in case it was dehydration (water pill yesterday). I tried to stay calm. I hooked myself to my Bi-pap machine for some regular breathing and it finally subsided. Of course, I am very far from a hospital and didn’t want to go through that unless I absolutely had to. Finally, feeling better at 11:30 PM, I was hungry and ate. It was not really a binge or unreasonable, but I tried snacks first which didn’t work, then went on to eat a small meal. But the two added together put me over calorie by about 400. I should have skipped the snacks and went right to the meal. BP this morning is 82/53 but pulse is much better at 86 and heart is not beating out of chest. Very strange on the pulse since they put me specifically on a med to lower pulse. It’s been running 80’s to low 90’s which is normal. I’m not sure what happened, that is why I sipped plenty of water because dehydrations can cause this problem too. More water today, and today is not a normally scheduled waterpill anyway. Maybe the stress of this very quick wedding planning is getting to me. Maybe complications from surgery. I am keeping an eye on it for sure and I hope it don’t interfere with my reunion dinner tomorrow. Driving could be out. The dinner is about 2 ½ hours from my home as we are all “meeting in the middle” of where we live. We’ll see how today goes.
08/12 -197.8- (Trend weight 199.4) Eating was not very good yesterday with daughter and grandson here for the weekend. Homemade chocolate banana walnut muffins and real 2% milk. I’m surprised to see a drop. I stuck to plan on meals but there was no room for that hefty snack! Blood pressure is still running way to low with the average being about 82/53 and pulse still running a bit high. It’s in the mid 90’s but should be much lower due to the lopresser medication I’m on. Watching it carefully but felt okay yesterday. Glucose is still much too high and the muffins didn’t make things any better. Staying away from them today! I have my reunion dinner tomorrow at a buffet. I’m going to try to eat like a lady tomorrow.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/5 / 165.8 / Today after work my husband and I go up to the lake.. it's been a couple weekends since we've been there so we'll have grass cutting chores. Lots of relaxing otherwise!
8/6 / 164.6 / Back to my maintenance range. Woo hoo! Yesterday I did a 30 minute Peloton ride and got my 10,000 steps. We have a celebratory dinner tonight at the lake for a friend who has been successfully kicking cancer's butt for a year now.
8/7 / 165.8 / Didn't get many steps yesterday - went out for one walk but mostly ended up relaxing at our trailer. My husband cooked the celebratory meal for our friends.
8/8 / 167 / Did walking, yoga, and strength for exercise yesterday. Our friends had us over for homemade pizza.
8/9 / 166.2 / Dealing with some pretty big upcoming changes at work and finding the stress difficult. Trying to ensure I don't let my self care suffer. Still finding ways to execute on my good habits.
8/10 / 167.6 / My night last night turned into a self-pity meltdown. I missed my exercise, had a donut and wine, and put myself to bed early. Today was a much better day all around. I did a good strength session, got in a bit of walking, and ate well.
8/11 / 167.4 / Did a strength class after getting home last night and got to bed early. Haircut after work tonight.
8/12 / 166.8 / In the middle of a painful IT upgrade at work. So glad the weekend is almost here. I had a big night of exercise yesterday that was a lot of fun. Off to the lake tonight.

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.

8/12 202.0 - Visited my family for a long weekend. I’m back over 200 pounds, which is 14 over my low. I feel like things finally started to click back in yesterday. I swam a mile in 60 minutes and have spent today baking 3 dozen protein muffins to freeze and have available for snacks and made my breakfast quiche. I’m back to logging and even that little bit helps. Now, just to get back to accountability with all of you…that’s why I’m here. Woohoo!!6 -
