I am about 8.2 kg along the way to lose 32 kg. I use multiple tape measurements (cm) around my body because they aren't affected by salt intake. My weight has been dropping for 5 months now. Apparently I've been trying to lose weight since September 2012, the last time I was at goal weight. Let's see if stopping eating sugary food is going to change things.

This calculates to 799 cm, a loss from the last round
How this round went: my eating is quite bad right now, I reward myself with food, something which is okay in minimal bits but it seems to be happening too often. As for exercise at the gym, that's going well, I'm increasing as I should be, something to be pleased with, although I'm thinking of going to the elliptical because it's easier than the treadmill. Still having sugar unfortunately.6 -

8/24 - 155.7 - Whew, I managed to get below last round's end weight. I have no idea why it seems that if I even sneeze wrong, I gain or get bloated. Whatever is going on, this has been an absolute challenge just to stay mid-decade here. I'll talk to doc about it Friday and make sure there's nothing crazy going on. I can't imagine it's all water weight/glycogen stores from working out but I could be wrong... Its super dark and eerie-looking here which is not really helping the battle between getting up to work out vs staying nice and warm in bed. No rain forecasted today at least so maybe a little sunshine boost here at the end of the workout when the sun finally starts to show itself. I had a nice interval row planned today. I'm bribing myself with sleeping in Friday (day off) in hopes of convincing my lazy (sleepy) mind to do the interval rather than an easier recovery row today. (It's not working very well... that's 2 days away!). Well, here I go...EDIT: I did the dang intervals. I'm a sweaty, panting, sore mess right now. Glad I got it done though.
Previous Day's Comments8/15 - No hugs needed. Not quite enough water. Think BF and I ate something bad Saturday night as all day yesterday both of us complained of stomach cramps and pain. Dinner was carb-filled chicken alfredo with homemade cheesy bread sticks which didn't help anything but at least I got some food in the cranky stomach. My entire abdomen feels like rock hard abs but its ball-shaped haha At least today there's no cramping or pain so now I'm waiting for my body to recover from whatever it is causing the bloat. Definitely focusing on water today to help push along recovery. Woke up and got in a solid 20 minute hard rowing workout that left me dripping in sweat. I usually glisten or sparkle, but it was hard enough to make me actually drip sweat in my eyes. Not bad for a Monday morning coming from a girl who is NOT a morning person. Finished it off with a 15 minute flexibility Yoga With Adriene practice as I'm still dealing with a little stiffness and soreness in the hammies from last week's sprints. Not sure dinner and I didn't go grocery shopping this weekend so I'm low on fruits/veg. I have a few frozen items that can hold me over on lunches, though, and some leftover chopped bell pepper and strawberries. Will make a plan to stock up on frozen "emergency" fruits/veg next time I go to the store since our new freezer has proven itself to keep things very much frozen.
8/16 - Alright, here we go! Behaved well yesterday food-wise after all that hard work on the rower first thing. Glad to see this weight coming back down. Tummy is feeling back to normal after yesterday. Still a tad bloated, but no pain or discomfort from it. Unfortunately, my usual Monday morning sluggishness caught up to me and I slept straight through my alarm this morning! Didn't wake up until 2 minutes after I usually hop on the computer (other than any meetings, its flexible. Core hours are 9am-3pm and I choose how I want to make up the remainder of my 9hour work day. So not "late" per se, but late to my own self-set schedule). Obviously, no workout due to that. Will see how things go this evening and take the pup for a walk. I set an extra alarm tomorrow to be sure I don't miss another morning workout and I've even planned the workout already so there's no reason not to do it! Lunch is planned out and unsure dinner but it's TacoTuesday in the house so I'm sure it'll be some type of Mexican-inspired fare. At least it's homemade and I can generally account for everything in the food log.
8/17 - Not bad for having enchiladas! I definitely expected to be up more from that. Maybe that 30 minute walk (1.75mi up and down hills) with the pup offset more than I thought. I've read somewhere that walking after a meal helps kickstart digestion. Anyone have any insight on that? My mind was so paranoid about sleeping through another alarm, apparently, that I woke up several times between 2:44am and my actual alarm. Feeling a bit sluggish, but I'm up on time. Drinking my electrolyte water and typing this to give myself a few minutes to wake up before hitting the rower for my pre-planned workout. BF wants to make chicken fajitas tonight so I need to run to the store during my lunch break which will also give me a chance to stock up on some healthier lunch items and snacks to get me through. At least fajitas have some colorful veg and aren't as break-the-(calorie)-bank as enchiladas. Plus there's nothing like the extra NEAT from a big grocery haul (walking a giant store, pushing an awkward heavy cart (which are made for people over 6ft, I swear, the handle is almost up to my shoulders and I'm 5'5!), loading into the car and lugging the heavy bags in the house after). Alright, off to punish myself on this rower (ahaha just kidding, I'm treating myself. It seems like punishment right now but after I'll be happy I did it and feel so much better) EDIT TO ADD: I'm happier now. 10 minute easy row followed by a 5 minute moderate/hard interval done twice. Now to stretching!
8/18 - I'm very happy and a little surprised at this! I went to bed with a lot of bloat, my stomach was super hard and sticking out quite a bit. I was really discouraged at bedtime noticing that as I did my wind down (I take note of my body and relax from toes up to face one by one). Today it's less hard and more the usual squishy and the scale shows my body did some bloat reduction during sleep. I did hit snooze but I think that was more because I woke up from a dream and needed a few extra minutes to get myself moving rather than pop straight out of bed. Also I didn't have a workout planned and motivation is always super low in the mornings. So I know what I need now: have a workout plan or at least idea for the morning BEFORE I go to bed. Did a 20 minute rowing session including warm up and cool down followed by a digestion-focused yoga with Adriene for 10 minutes. Then a quick 5 min walk with the pup that got cut from the planned 10-15 minutes due to cows with their babies nearby (don't need them feeling threatened). Last night we switched around to grilled chicken leg quarters, grilled red potatoes, and green beans. Fam reached out because godkids want to see us and said fajitas tonight. We'll push our fajita plans to next week. Today I have leftover broccoli in cheese sauce (the frozen steam kind), some potatoes, and a leg quarter for lunch. I'll pre-log my fajitas to keep portions in line and base my portion for lunch off that to keep calories in line. Exercise is becoming consistent during the work week so now I need to start focusing on healthier food options and reigning in my portions a bit more to get this weight (fat) a-moving on out of here!
8/19 - A drop is still a drop. Last night involved 2 glasses of wine instead of the usual 1. I did hold myself to the portions I set out at the beginning of the day, though! Some adjustment had to be made because I didn't end up eating lunch at home before we left and ended up having to grab something at the bar/grill to hold me over instead, plus accounting for the wines. Before I put a single bite in my pie-hole, I logged it, though! Today's lunch will likely be yesterday's planned lunch. Unsure dinner at this point. Trying to come up with a workout idea right now for this morning as I'm dragging more than normal. I'm up, though, so I might as well get SOMETHING in movement wise, even if it's not the sweat-inducing intense kind. EDIT: I did a 20 minute easy "recovery" row. Stroke rate 18, steady pace, didn't try to over do it, just went through motions and still felt muscles working. Did get warm, but not sweaty. I'll take that. Work starts in 5 minutes so will find 10 minutes of other movement through the day (won't be hard to manage that)
8/20 - Whoot! My dedication to staying under calories and getting in those workouts paid off! Not sure plans today. I know tomorrow we are taking the godkids swimming and then out to eat like a little date day with just us and them before returning them to their grannas. Fam has a concert so they're out of town for the day. Hoping I can keep this downward trend going (or at least stalled and NOT a gain) through the weekend. I have a doctor's appointment on Friday next week and I know I'm about 10lbs heavier than I was at my last appointment. Oof. Hoping I can stay focused and lower the difference between appointments through the weekend and next week.
8/21 - DNP
8/22 - Super bloated. Day with Godkids was a blast but we did all the things they wanted and ended up eating out for both lunch and dinner. I tried to make the healthiest choices other than salad (which are delicious but I know I will be horribly hungry within an hour and a half). Despite my best efforts, eating out does typically involve a ton of sodium...sigh....But, I logged my food, tried to stay active and moving through the day and that's all I can do. I also drank a TON of water. 90oz from my normal water cup plus water at the restaurants I didn't even attempt to log. I'm up for a rowing workout and maybe some yoga this morning. Woke up mid-dream again so definitely having a Monday morning: slow getting started. Drinking my little electrolyte+energy water to get me moving while I type this and then off we go. No idea what lunch and dinner hold, but I'm determined to make some good decisions.
8/23 - Got some of that bloat down! Rained most of the day yesterday, all night it seems, and still raining. We need it, but that rain is getting me in the cozy mood. I hit snooze for 15 minutes to try to wake up a bit more this morning (it didn't work) but I got out of bed anyway. No time to be cozy, it's workout time! Dinner tonight is chicken fajitas and unsure lunch. Usually go for leftovers if dinner was healthy but we didn't have any so I'll have to throw something together today. I managed to fast until about 12 yesterday so I'm hoping to do the same today. Body is slowly getting used to working out and not eating immediately after. I do, however, still have my collagen in my coffee so that probably is helping. Now to figure out what I'm going to be doing for workout before I run out of time! EDIT: I did a 20 minute steady recovery row. My workout was "cozy" too! It's movement, though, and I'm content. Feel more awake and the mental boost is already kicking in. Yay endorphins

Day/Weight/Comment
8/15 / 165.2 / Got up and walked my dog before work while the temperatures were still cool. Had a tough work from home day as the Internet was poor in my area today. Managed to get through and now I'll ride the Peloton before supper.
8/16 / 164.4 / Had a great Peloton ride last night and made lots of healthy food for supper and meals today. Had a smoothie for breakfast this morning which I haven't done in forever. Feeling good!
8/17 / 164.6 / My day was busy at work so I missed my lunch time walk. I have to go to the dentist shortly so I'm going to have to get my steps in before bed.
8/18 / 166.8 / Got my walk in before bed last night and hit 10K steps. Today I have to walk to the doctor and back at lunch so my steps should be decent by the time I get home from work. Quiet night planned as I'm off tomorrow hoping my hot air balloon ride finally goes ahead.. weather is looking right for it but if it does the meeting time is before 6 a.m.
8/19 / 167.8 / Hot air balloon ride was an absolutely outstanding experience. We also had time to go bike riding in the mountains. Really made the most of our day off.
8/20 / 166.8 / We are at the lake today. I am on call for work so I had to set an alarm.. feeling super tired after yesterday's big day. Our trailer neighbors have our dog as they looked after her for the day while we were out adventuring but they'll be up soon.. can't wait to see her (and them!)
8/21 / 167.8 / Took a big recovery day yesterday as I was super zonked from our activities Friday. We spent the day at the lake visiting with our lovely trailer neighbors who are dear friends. Good for the soul. Today hasn't been active yet either but we're about to take our dog out for a walk.
8/22 / 164.8 / Movement has been low the last two days so I'm planning to make sure I hit my minimum of 10K steps today. I got out for my first walk on my lunch hour.
8/23 / 164 / Got my 10,000 steps today so I feel good about that. Both lunch and dinner were out but I did the best I could with my choices. Another tiring day at work. Almost back to my start weight for the round.
8/24 / 163.6 / Not quite at goal weight but I did get below my start weight. I have hopes of getting on the Peloton today but time is squeezed.7 -

8/24 W - 144 - Well my weight went up a bit these past 10 days. During this round, we had friends visiting for a long weekend and we traveled the next weekend for MIL's birthday. I gained 1.8. I'm glad it wasn't worse. Although I didn't stick to plan, I semi-stuck to it, so it was still a win. It only makes me more determined to do better the next 10!!!
We're camping this weekend in Maryland with our son, DIL, and friends. I'm so looking forward to it! I'm taking healthy food and snacks. 6 -
Awesome! Thank you as always for posting @quiltingjaine! These challenges really keep me motivated and you are a great group of people!

I am on vacation this week! Hopefully more activity this week as opposed to sitting in front of my computer!
8/16: 217
8/17: 214.9!
I got a new scale. After much deliberation I decided to go with this weight. My old scale said 217.5 three times this morning. The new scale said 214.9 three times this morning. So the only thing I had was a 10 pound bag of cat food to calibrate. The old scale said “error” when I weighed the cat food and the new scale said 10.1 pounds. Since I will be using the new scale from here on out, I went with the new scale reading.
8/18: 214.9
8/19: 213.9 I think all the swimming this week instead of sitting in front of my computer is showing up! 🏊♀️

Wow! I’m pretty impressed to be honest but there was a straight week of vacation in there where I swam everyday, cooked every night and was just less stressed.
The 10th day is my favorite day to see how far everyone has come and see the changes and what we’ve learned. On to Round 197!5 -

/Walk/ Glad to start a new round.
Managed to complete the weekend without ignoring goal number 3. Huge!
8/16: 214
/walking/ Happy to say I have been logging and winning the mind battle with food the past few days. The war continues.
8/17: 213
/not a blasted thing/ busy all day yesterday with work and Dr appointment. Starting (just starting mind you) to get back to enjoying the feeling that I am hungry (First World Hungry, not really hungry.) This has been essential to progress for me in the past.
When I gain weight, I usually let my eyes decide (see food diet) if I am going to eat it, not my hunger/common sense.
8/18: 214
/nothing again/ Today is 43 Anniversary with DW!
8/19: 216
/walking/ This bump-up expected after yesterday’s food fest. Topped off with DW making chex-mix for our neighbor last night. I had to do some quality control monitoring. 😊 it was exquisite. Hello salty water gain.
Since I round up and down, the actual gain was less than 2#.
8/20: 214
/mowing/ I will take it.
8/21:213
/walking between rain drops and cleaning garage/ Garage cleaning involved a bit of functional lifting. 😊
8/22: 213
/fishing aboard “the Kraken” yesterday/ lots of movement involved in an afternoon of fishing. Maybe not as much as MFP says I can log. (Woke up exhausted this morning.) The good news, I was very focused on fishing and not jamming food into the cake hole.
8/23: 213
/meetings/ The only thing exercised yesterday was my brain. Including a decision to stop at Culver’s for a Chocolate Concrete Mixer with Peanut Butter cups. Doh! Otherwise, food was all good.
My ten-day average is on the verge of being lowest since March. And THAT is what gets me into trouble. I start feeling good about progress and think a little cheating here and there doesn’t hurt me. Need to finish this round well.
8/24: 213
/stretching, spinning, mowing/ great day for exercise. Ate a few of those calories back. DW made an amazing bow-tie pasta dish using her tomatoes and onions etc.
This has been my best round for a long time. No major humps in the graph; best ten-day average in months; met my goals… mostly. The exception was the trip to Culvers which was a violation of goal 3.
My next few days will be in Michigan with SIL’s and their DH’s. Won’t have a scale, but I am going to try to keep things to a dull roar.

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.6 -

Dinner was lovely last night, and other than Ghirardelli brownies, all perfectly healthful food. It’s weird not weighing in every morning and not counting calories, but I am having DH record what I eat, I just don’t peek.

I almost stepped on the scale this morning out of long habit, but caught myself. I’m sticking to the no-weigh-in routine to the end of the round. It’s a gorgeous day, so Rory and I are off to the park for a walk.

Funny, I remember writing yesterday but can’t find it. Maybe I hit Done instead of Post. I hate when I do that! Anyway, I seem to be doing ok not weighing in. I don’t think I’m over eating. I’ll find out in 5 more days. 😉

Was up at 6 to track with a friend, and it was just lovely out—cool, and a beautiful sunrise. Now it’s pouring—good thing we went in the morning! Happy Saturday!

It’s nice and wet outside with more rain on the way. Great morning for weeding and planting my new climbing rose. 😁 Have a lovely Sunday, all!

Monday, Monday… it’s cool and overcast, and I’m off to obedience club to train (play with) Rory and teach a class. I’d rather stay in bed and read, but it is what it is. I have to say I’m looking forward to weighing in in the mornings, but this round has been an interesting experiment in not obsessing. Have a good one!
8/23 - n/w
One more day—these rounds go by too quickly. Whew! I’ll be interested to see what happened while I didn’t weigh in or watch my nutrients (although DH has been recording for me so I will know my counts). In the meantime, I’m reorganizing my garage storage today. The fun never ends!
8/24 - 177.6
Well, that was interesting! I’m down half a pound, and I looked at my numbers for the first time all round (thank you, DH, for recording my food), and I actually ate below my calorie goal. I think often when I look at my daily numbers I excuse a bit more because, you know, it’s close. Anyway, I am going back to recording food myself, but will try not to talk myself into “a bit more.” Glad I did this, but it was kind of a relief to weigh myself this morning!Goal for 2022-2023 Progress

08/23 -201.0- (Trend weight 200.2) I forgot to take my meds yesterday in all the reno hupla, so it was too late for the heart-healthy water pill. My feet are pretty bloated and it showed up on the scale. Today I’ll take my pill for sure and that may give me a more accurate picture of my true weight. Tomorrow I travel to the cardiologist so lunch or dinner will be out but I will really weigh my options! One of my handymen was put in the hospital with either appendix or intestine infection issues. They are still doing testing. I’m down to one guy and he is the lazier one. But he’s here today putting his 60 to 90 minutes in so I suppose I am supposed to be grateful. No quality sleep last night, so I’m a bit grumpy as you can see but I do speak truth.
08/24 -200.6- (Trend weight 200.3) I forgot to pull the water pill from the day before’s cubby (because I forgot to take it the day before) so now I am several days without it. Can’t take it today because I am traveling to cardiologist. My weight is up (probably related) from starting point by 0.4 and that is a disappointment. I’ll take it for sure tomorrow and I will watch my dinner out today! I hate when I can’t get my steps in when that is just about the only exercise I am approved for right now! Great job to everyone for showing up. So many wonderful achievements!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

@enlightenme3 The Epley Maneuver - a friend had a Dizzy Fix hat that takes care of those crystals. (He moved away but I finally got one of my own.) It really does work but I tend to just “ride it out” for a day or two before I do that. LOL I don’t know why - just crazy of me!!!!2

8/24 - 131.8! Great round for me. 6.6 pounds! It would feel too fast if I hadn't been retaining SO much water at the beginning of the challenge. It's 2.2 below my low weight last round which is reasonable. This puts my total weight loss since June 1 at 10.4 pounds. Feels good!
For my other goals, I'm good on the workout front since my goal was only 8 out of 10 days, as long as I workout today, but kind of botched the fasting/tracking side of things for a couple days there. Not beating myself up over it though. Great job making it through another round, all! See everyone in R197 🙂5 -
Round 196: Disappointed in my last round. Now aware of feeling a sense of urgency to get wt loss happening or else.

Good morning, everyone -
Well, I didn’t make my goal of down 4 lbs, but I’m very happy with the 2.7 lb down. A 4-lb loss over 10 days was kind of aggressive – very happy with my outcome of this first ever 10 day challenge!

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.
Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

8/15 119.0 GKI 13.9 Great Greek ate 1/4 pita and 1 oz. melitzanosalata
8/16 118.5 GKI 9.6 Ate leftovers yesterday and today will be other leftovers. I have a nice piece of steak and am looking forward to steak and eggs!
8/17 118.0 GKI 8.4 No food plans. Making keto snacks to take to quilt retreat. The planned meals that are included are SUPER carby. It amazes me since the chair is diabetic but this option probably keeps the cost down. At least there are restaurants in the casino. Leaving tomorrow afternoon and internet will probably be sketchy all weekend.
8/18 119.0 No GKI- I didn’t waste the strips! Dinner at Bingo was pizza, chips and cookies!! Good this weekend will be similarly carb loaded unless I go to a restaurant and order something. Sunday afternoon we will go to Great Greek. I’ll try to at least say hi but hope to be busy, busy all weekend with limited internet. I spent most of the day yesterday baking keto snacks. I haven’t read beyond page 6. Will try to catch up later.
8/19 DNW At retreat, no scale
8/20 DNW Ate meatball, chicken, salad and 1 breadstick, at least 3 steam table trays full of pasta were wasted. Guess these other ladies don’t want the junky carbs either.
8/21 DNW Last day at retreat, no meals. Last night was pulled pork, chicken, and fish, salad with super sugary salad dressing, rolls and butter. Dessert buffet at 8 pm. I’m ready to go home. Probably Great Greek this evening since it’s Sunday!
8/22 121.5 GKI 13.4 After 3.5 days of less than great food availability I’m okay with that gain. Back on track today is my plan. Oh and I have vertigo!
8/23 121.5 GKI 19.2 Still vertigo but not as bad as yesterday. I have no idea why my GKI shot up like that unless it’s a delayed reaction to the tons of carbs over the weekend. I’ll just stick to my plan.
8/24 121.5 GKI 42?!?! I was a bad, bad girl. DH wanted Chinese and I got my favorite - General Tso’s chicken. So many carbs!!! I didn’t eat the rice and chow mein!5 -

8/16 211.6 That's what I deserve after eating two slices of cake. But it sure was good.
8/17 210.6. Husband tested positive for Covid on Saturday evening. I just tested positive this morning.😕😷
8/18 210 Well daughter who lives with us tested positive today. So glad we are vaccinated and boosted, it hasn’t been too bad. I’m very sorry for those who don’t vaccinate.
8/19 208.8 Well that’s interesting. I was over my calories yesterday, mainly because I’m drinking a lot of orange juice. Didn’t do much but sit in a chair and cough and sneeze. Feeling better today but still have a fever, will be doing much of the same as yesterday. Husband is over it and daughter seems to have a very mild case.
8/20 208.4 Feeling better today.
8/21 209.4
8/22 209.8 Still feeling a bit slow and coughing some. Happy that I'm a homebody and like to be here. I have plenty to keep myself occupied while I get well.

8/24 211 Well this round didn't go very well. Feeling better each day. I will stay in the rest of this week.5 -
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

8/15: 193.0 - this past weekend was horrid but luckily this is my last week back home before I move back up to school for training camp and my Crossfit gym. Between the two of those I'm pretty sure I'll struggle eating enough rather than the other way around as practice and Crossfit are calorie scorcher. Looking forward to it though and today I'm going hiking so that's a plus!
8/16: 187.4 - great hike and cal deficit yesterday so hoping this isn't a fluke
8/17: 188.0
8/18: 188.0 - binged a bit last night so happy to see no change today
8/19: 188.8 - no exercise yesterday but big deficit. Big move and changes happening this weekend.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/15: 132.1 - Had a busy day yesterday - my Jazzercise workout was interrupted half-way through by a phone call so ended up doing a another whole workout on demand. Then I rode my bicycle for the first time in a long time downtown to check out Art in the Park with DH, but I don’t think I earned enough calories to counteract the 350 calorie cup of very delicious ice cream with that ride. C’est la vie. Stayed under calories overall.
8/16: 132.5 - Got my Jazzercise workout in before the heat, but didn’t go out for my walk. Was also trying to do some meal prep earlier in the day, but ended up still having to turn on the oven late in the afternoon - ugh. We have a tile and grout person coming today to re-do some of our grout, which means I can’t use a large part of our kitchen, laundry room and one of our bathrooms for 24 hours.
8/17: 132.3 - Actually went to Jazzercise in person for the first time in awhile. I usually either do it live virtually or on demand, and it was a lot of fun to see some familiar faces. The rest of the day was low-key since we had someone in to do the grout for a large part of the day. Super hot day yesterday so most of it was spent trying to stay cool/hydrated.
8/18: 132.3 -Normal workout plus a couple of games of pickle ball (one word or two?). This is my second time playing and my streak is in tact - I’ve lost every single game that I’ve played! :-). It was a fun little gathering on my friend’s driveway that she conveniently has enough room to put down the court lines. Quick dinner and then transitioned to hosting my neighborhood ladies that I crochet with. We are all complete novices and are watching youtube to learn how to make a sunflower square sweater. We’ve all concluded that if we actually get to enough squares to make a sweater, they will be the world’s most expensive ugly sweater.
8/19: 133.8 - Mini-binge and drinking wine two nights in a row are not helping my maintenance effort.
8/20: 133.6 -
8/21: 133.4 - Hmm forgot to post yesterday, but I did record my weight. Lots of baking yesterday meant that I did’t have time to get a real walk in, but did do my Jazzercise workout first thing.
8/22: 133.6 - Pizza dinner at a local park for the group we volunteer for. Pre-logged, so did okay there. Walked there and back, although it wasn’t all that far.
8/23: 134.7 - Yikes - not a good way to end the round. Did not get any workouts in yesterday because of timing issues, but if I really, really wanted to get it done I could have figured out a way. Very high sodium eating as well. Of course now I’m at the tippy top of my maintenance range…
8/24: 133.6 - Better than yesterday. Hopefully the trend continues. Got two workouts in and ate well.

8/15 - 170.4 - 7,500/15 Weighed in after shower wet hair. Last week was a busy not a lot of walking week. SO has headed back to work for a few days so I can get back at it. Hoping for some good water loss as I am a little bloated.
8/16 - 166.2 - 23,300/164. Nice to see that drop, water weight as expected. Dinner out tonight will see what results bring in the morning, plus I'll have no time for a long weekend walk!! Looks like SO is away until the weekend, I'll get some evening walks in.
8/17 - 165.1 - 19.600/137. Dinner out with my boys girlfriends, just us as all the boys are working my SO out of town and my sons working nights. Taco salad and cheesecake and still a loss!!
8/18 - 163.6 - 28,300/182. Some after work shopping and a late evening walk.
8/19 - 162.7 - 27,700/201. Busy weekend ahead. Won't get much walking in but I may be able to squeeze in some small ones. SO arrived home and is here for a few days, Hooray! We have a family get together and it's nice he can attend. Dentist for me today ugghh ... Happy Friday
8/20 - 162.2 - 17,600/107. Worked a couple of hours, went to the dentist. Then SO took me on a hike. Lots of elevation and it was warm out. He didn’t have the best time. I bribed him with ice cream (sorry dentist!) I had a great day. Family thing tonight with lots of food and drink, see where the numbers fall in the morning.
8/21 - 164.5 - 21,700/120 BBQ last night super fun and got up did a 12K walk.
8/22 - 166.1 - 9,864/45. Lazy day numbers creeping up from BBQ. A little bloated, feeling squishy lol. SO left for work this morning, possible he will be home for the weekend but you never know. Weather is forecasted for hot hot hot means for a later walk, hopefully!
8/23 - 164.7 - 20,200/145. Work and a good walk. Greek salad for dinner with veg from my Dad's garden. Thanks Dad!!
8/24 - 163.2 - 20,500/143. Dropping vacation lbs. Looking forward to seeing some 5's again.
Monthly Watch Challenge: 479.5km - So far 283.1 Not expecting to make this one as that's 24.5 km a day! But you never know.6 -
64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 196 ( my 128th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round again is to lose. We go on holiday in 4 weeks! 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/15 139.4 – 7.98 miles walked yesterday & it was HOT !!!! Maybe in hindsight we shouldn't have gone during the middle of the day, but we kept hydrated. 2/3 exercise calories eaten back, need to get back to not eating many back!!
8/16 138.8 – 11.87 miles walked yesterday, 10 degrees cooler than yesterday! We so much need some rain, the gardens are desperate!! I have been watering with a watering can out of the rain butt, I drained the last dregs out of that last night!! It keeps being forecast, but I've been able to count the odd few spots that have fell !!! ¾ exercise calories eaten back.
8/17 137.8 – 8..63 miles walked, certainly not as hot, much more bearable, in fact a very pleasant temperature ! And lots of rain for the gardens. A third of calories eaten back; that's better and it shows on the scales.
8/18 138.2 - 11.8 miles walked, 5/8 exercise calories eaten back.
8/19 137.6 – no structured walking; childcare for 2 little DGS & 1.5 hour each way commute, but it's worth it to spend precious time with them.
8/20 DNW - away for the weekend in our caravan & forgot to pack the scales ?. No structured walking cuz we had some work done in the house & then a 2 hour journey. 169 calories over.
8/21 DNW - 8.74 miles walked. 146 calories over; cider at lunchtime & gin with tea! Little DGS#1 had sleep over with us in the caravan, after he fell out of bed during the night I slept very slightly listening out in case he did it again!! Taking him home later today and then we travel back home too.
8/22 136.4 – happy with that figure after not weighing for a couple of days. No structured walking for reasons above, hence 240 calories over.
8/23 137.2 – had a bad day yesterday, least said & move on! 8.66 miles walked.
8/24 138 – 6.01 miles walked. Could have been better on the food front, but I'll take the 1.2 pound loss & move on to the new challenge!!
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!

August 15 - August 24, 2022
Please join us starting on 8/15 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 196!
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE👍👍

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.
