Day/Weight/Comment: Reflections on previous day
8/15 - 159.5 (+1.4) - Sorry I skipped last round all. Tried to peek in on all of you a few times. Between some medical stuff and an intense workload I couldn’t keep up. I’m back and okay with the gains (aside from discomfort - TMI).
8/16 - 158.0 (-1.5) - First day of school was long. Drained by new schedule already and travel time is nowhere near what we were anticipating. Hoping it eases up. 🥗 Over 💧176 oz. 🏋️♀️ Rowing + Tai Chi 👟 7,931
8/17 - 156.2 (-1.8) - Simply exhausted! 🥗 Gross Under 💧123 oz. 👟 9,658
8/18 - 156.4 (+0.2) - Working through solutions and relieved we’re making progress 🥗 Net Under💧112 oz. 🏋️♀️ Rowing + Walking 👟11,327. “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.” - Albert Einstein
8/19 - 157.3 (+0.9) - TMI 🥗 Gross Under💧132 oz. 🏋️♀️ kick boxing, strength + some labor on parents farm 👟 8,198. “I closed my eyes and let the music flow through me, cleansing my soul of all fear and sin and reminding me that I am always better than I think and stronger than I believe.” - Paulo Coelho4 -

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!)

🙂Round 196🙂
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👍👍

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.

8/16 211.6 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.

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!

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.

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.

ROUND 188-SW 179.2, ROUND 189-SW 180.2, ROUND 190-SW ?, ROUND 191-SW 174.4,
ROUND 193-SW 179.6, ROUND 194-SW 179.2, ROUND 195-SW 172.48/5: 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: 172.6 and there is it.... my carbohydrate binge taking its vengeance on me.
8/14: 171.8
ROUND 196
SW: 171.8
Day/Weight/Comment
8/15: 171.8 I've seen this number so frequently, i shouldn't be surprised (and i'm not).
8/16: 172.2 not sure if this is from not drinking enough yesterday, or if it's because i've already eaten scrambled eggs and tomatoes
8/17: 172.2, 171.4, 171.2 take your pick. these are the options my scale gave me all within 1/2 hours time with no variable. do the spring scales do the same thing? ...back on topic....ate a maintain amount of calories yesterday, but it was high in carbs (ramen noodles). i did get to finally go for my walk! not as epic as the exclamation point implies. it was just a mile, but weight loss rate.
8/18: 171.2 good calories, good macros, and a good 2 mile walk
8/19: 171
8/20: 170.4 since i usually weigh myself before i eat, and i have already eaten today this weight is probably just more nonsense my scale is spitting out.
8/21: 171 over calories yesterday even with getting my walk in. seems like i do this at least once every challenge and always promise to correct myself.

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! 🏊♀️

Day/Weight/Comment
8/15: 240lbs. Starting off higher than I’d like, but not surprise considering how off track I’ve been. Today I’m focusing on just getting back into healthy habits.
8/16: 239lbs (-1). One pound down in one day is great! I feel positive about the effort I put forth yesterday and am going to try to keep that momentum going throughout the week! I focused on making good choices with food and took a walk during my lunch break.
8/17: 241.8lbs (+2.8). Darn it. I was stressed & tired yesterday and gave in to my binge eating disorder. I overate far too much and didn't track any of it. So definitely not surprised to see the gain. I feel so bloated and gross today. But today's a new day and I went ahead and tracked everything that I'll eat today and now just need to stick to it!
8/18: 239.4 (-2.4). Yeaaah, back in the right direction! I focused on protein intake and staying under my calorie count. Now I just gotta keep it up for today!
8/19: 239.8 (+0.4). I've been having such a hard time with snacking in the evenings.
8/20: 240.2 (+0.4). Definitely overate, so that's not a surprise at all. 20 years of disordered eating is proving difficult to overcome.
8/21: 239.2 (-1). To be honest, I'm surprised. I thought for sure I'd be up. I didn't eat much yesterday, but what I did eat was processed snack food. But today I'm trying to be mindful and on track.

8/15 - 159.5 (+1.4) - Sorry I skipped last round all. Tried to peek in on all of you a few times. Between some medical stuff and an intense workload I couldn’t keep up. I’m back and okay with the gains (aside from discomfort - TMI).
8/16 - 158.0 (-1.5) - First day of school was long. Drained by new schedule already and travel time is nowhere near what we were anticipating. Hoping it eases up. 🥗 Over 💧176 oz. 🏋️♀️ Rowing + Tai Chi 👟 7,931

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.
8/20: 190.0
8/21: 188.8 - moving today and back to the crossfit gym

Friends coming for tiny potluck tonight. Should be nice, eating in the garden.

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.
8/17 - n/w
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!

@qultingjaine Thank you for the diabetic links. There were actually many different articles inside the links. The reading and finding are interesting and helpful. I think I have my carbs set too high on MFP. I am going to have to go back and tweak them. I am also confused about exercise. One of my new meds is specifically to get my heart rate down and keep it there, yet exercise (fat burning) is often getting your heart rate up, and I don't know how safe that is for me. I know walking is good, but I am talking about my aerobic dancing or the exercise bike. Cardiologist appt later this week. I am going to start writing down my diet and exercise questions but any info you or anyone else has (or ideas) is greatly appreciated.

08/21 -200.0- (Trend weight 200.9) Teetering on Onederland. Well, if you guys haven’t already heard enough about my problems, here goes a big one. Handymen were messing around in the electrical box in the basement while trying to hook up new drop in stove. The ignitor is electric tho the stove is gas. Now over half of my house doesn’t work. All the main floor is down except the bathrooms which each have one plug. Well pump stopped working too, so no water again. My part-time neighbor was next door and my handymen said we could feed my house with low level pressure water through garden hoses off our spickets to bring running water to faucets and toilets in my house (called backwashing) and neighbor said okay. So I can flush but not shower unless I want it cold. I ran an extension cord to the bathroom for my breathing machine last night. There is a plug upstairs that seems to be okay so son slept up there last night and DD & DGS stayed at boyfriend’s. Today is Sunday, I’m in the middle of nowhere with no real skilled tradesmen in the area and this old house has decided it’s not waiting any longer on the electrical upgrades. It’s spooky. The microwave is beeping on and off. The phone base. Not enough power to run the TV. Computer comes on if I unplug the fridge in the other room but I have to baby it. I am hearing the electrical surges run through the computer speakers. Oh, and the birthday party for my DGD is out-of-town today (not to mention the wedding in less than 2 weeks). So.....right now I am going to go in the bathroom where I made coffee and hope it generated enough heat to get the coffee hot. No wonder my heart is giving out! Sorry to unload like this (yet again), but please ya’ll, count your blessings, pray for me and help me count mine!

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.

8/15 / 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.

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.

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.
