Hi everyone, thanks for setting this up! Great idea to break this journey up into smaller pieces.
My name is Katherine, I am a 53 year old female and I am 5’2. I have gained nearly 30 pounds over the last 2.5 years and need to get a handle on this. I would like to lose nearly 50 pounds.
I have been mentally planning on this for 6 weeks (needed the kids to leave for college). My journey was first to ramp up my movement and now to start tracking.
Overall SW: 178
Goal: 130
Ideally 2 pounds per week.

I've used MFP for years, off and on. When I first used it, I lost a ton of weight. Now I'm at least 15 years older and a lot heavier. I'm 47 y/0 female, 5'6".
I'm going to be out of town on holiday the last day of this round, so I thought I'd start one day early
SW: 189.2
Round Goal Weight - 187.0
Non-scale goals - keep up with water intake; track food; work-out 4-5 times a week.
Day/Weight/Comment
8/24 189.0 - been drinking a lot more water than I usually do on recommendation due to the increased protein intake.
8/25 188.0 - surprising since I seem to have overeaten for dinner (misread the serving size and had TWO servings of dinner. Luckily it was a low carb meal.

Day, Weight, Comment
8/25 - 156.1 - All I can think of for the tick up is that there was a small portion of baked beans included in dinner. I was 480 calories under, 395 of them from exercise (and didn't under eat, total cals for the day were 1455). I fasted until around noon. Drank about 100oz water. I did say that it seemed if I sneezed wrong I gained. Last evening I was drinking my water when a sudden unexpected sneeze shot that water straight out my nose... At least it was just water. But I did gain. Hmmmm, maybe I'm on to something here... Found out that I will likely be traveling the week of Sept 19th to my work's HQ in Kansas. I'm working on preparing what I can do for food/exercise while I'm there. Plans not set in stone (few days vs full week, where I'm staying, etc). The hotels closest to the HQ both have fitness centers so hoping I can get into one of those. They are both within a mile of HQ so if weather cooperates, it's even walking distance for extra movement! I have a feeling food will be the challenge but that's why I'm trying to plan 3 weeks in advance: cover all my bases!

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

8/20 - 156.1 (-1.2) - 🥗 Net Under💧144 oz. 🏋️♀️ Pilates, Tai Chi, Walking, A lot of strength 👟13,452. 🤦♀️ Pushed my body more than I should have yesterday.
"No! No different! Only different in your mind. You must unlearn what you have learned. If no mistake have you made, yet losing you are.. a different game you should play." - Master Yoda
8/21 - 156.3 (+0.2) - 🥗 Gross Under 💧144 oz. 🏋️♀️ Yoga + Walking 👟 14,387
“Eventually all pieces fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moment and know that everything happens for a reason” - Albert Schweitzer
8/22 - 156.6 (+0.3) - 🥗 Gross Under💧112 oz. 🏋️♀️ Light rowing, Tai Chi + Strength 👟8,491. If anything I will have a small walk today.
8/23 - DNW - 🥗 Gross Under 💧128 oz. 🏋️♀️ short walk 👟 7, 206. Colonic Hydrotherapy (Dr. Prescribed). Scale reports -4.7lbs but knowing my body is essentially running on empty I don’t want to enter (stepped on scale out of sheer curiosity).
8/24 - 152.1 (-4.5) 🥗 Gross Under💧144 oz 🏋️♀️ Tai Chi, Short Walk + strength 👟 8,620. We’ll see how much weight fluctuates over the next round (see prev. comment).4 -
Too late to edit my post. 20 minutes of 1min on, 1 min off intervals on the rower DONE. Debating forcing myself up to get in a workout tomorrow on my day off so I have time to shower before doc appointment. Think I might do it because oversleeping leaves me feeling awful and the exercise gives me just the boost needed4

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

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.

08/25 -199.8- (Trend weight 200.2) Onederland! Trying to figure that one out. Travel yesterday with very very little movement. Restaurant meal. Normal (not enough) sleep. Normal TMI. No water pill yesterday due to the travel. However, I was up & down all night going #1. I guess my body deided to finally get rid of some fluid retention in my ankles on it’s own so that must be it. So…cardiologist said absolutely no exercise including taking walks! I honestly thought I was approved to at least do that! I am supposed to be re-introduced into everything while being medically supervised (in case of another heart attack). They are especially worried because I still cannot breathe well with exertion. So I must attend cardiac rehab for probably 12 weeks. Of course, that will mean a lot of travel since we don’t have anything like that around here. I’m very disappointed. They are sending me for dopplers on my legs to look for blockages due to some symptoms, my vascular issues, my lack of pulse in the left foot, and my high glucose diabetes. That will be mid September. They are also sending me to a pulmonary function test in mid-October to make sure there isn’t something different going on with the breathing. My lung nodule appears to be stable so maybe COPD? I did smoke for 35 years but I quit 15 years ago! Anyway, sharing what I got in the case that it helps someone go get that medical care you need. Difficulty breathing which is different from before when you exercise? Call your doctor! Welcome to all our new friends. Thank you Jaine for continuing this challenge.

Please join us starting on 8/25 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 197!
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👍👍

36 year old female, 5'4". I previously lost 30 lbs and am now back with 70 to lose (ugh!). This is my first week, so I expect to drop a lot of water weight right away this round, which explains my aggressive round gw.
non-scale goals: track food daily, work out 4-5x weekly.

8/25 – 204.4 my day is pretty busy today so I am going to try to get in my 3 mile walk and perhaps 20 minutes of yoga. Staying under my calories and adhering to my protein. I will be at 3/5 workouts for the week tonight.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 197 ( my 129th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round again is to lose. We go on holiday in 2 1/2 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
8/25 138.4 - 12.71 miles walked, 50% exercise calories eaten back.
8/26 138.8 – No structured exercise yesterday, took little DGS out to a wildlife park, lots of walking but mostly pushing stroller & forgot to put Fitbit on ankle (doesn't count steps on wrist whilst pushing!), also he did a lot of walking himself – at very slow pace.
I need to get my food addiction under control; it's totally starting to take over my life again & getting of that spiral is difficult. There is not even any reason for this - I am blessed with my life & family being rosey at the moment & we are looking forward to our first holiday abroad since 2019 in 16 days. Come on Phyl, take control, sort yourself out !!!

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.
