Day/Weight/Comment
Previous days' comments behind spoiler.

9/4-133.8. Not surprised to see a gain. We had sushi and dim sum takeout last night for our anniversary. I did go overboard but most of the gain is probably attributable to salt and TOM’s unexpected arrival. I’ll get back in the saddle today.
9/5 - 130.2 Phew, glad to see the water loss today even though I was confident I couldn’t have done that much damage in a day. DH and I are still testing positive for covid on Day 8. The kids aren’t but we just presumed they were positive anyway. They still have symptoms, so deciding whether or not they can go back to daycare is tough. Selfishly, I would rather send them, but if I were a parent of another child in the daycare I would want them to stay home until the sniffles are gone. Ah the mental gymnastics required by parenting through a pandemic I would rather not have experienced. Ugh. Anyway I just finished up a good Peloton ride and am going to try to relax with the family for the rest of the day. Have a good holiday, to whom it applies!
9/6 - 130.2. I am determined to see the 120s this week! Turns out the kids aren’t even allowed at daycare until 10 days after symptoms onset, so my littlest is home until at least Thursday and the 3 year old is home for the rest of the week. Also my husband and I are not allowed in the building until we test negative, so I’m not sure how that would work anyway. Covid sucks.
9/7 - 130.2 AGAIN. Ah well, it'll catch up with me I'm sure. I made a really salty stir fry last night. I ended up going for a jog last night after my youngest's bedtime because I was grumpy and didn't get a chance to work out yesterday between work and childcare. I'm hoping we can find more balance, or at least more zen, today as we try to manage this.

9/8 - 130.4. Maybe I won’t see the 120s this week after all. I had salty leftovers last night so I’m hoping I can up my water and see better results. But if I’m being honest with myself I am not making the best food choices. This week has been so hard. I know a lot of people have it a lot worse but I’ve certainly been throwing myself a little pity party. We did have a better day at home yesterday, but then my youngest was up every hour from 10 to 3 last night then awake for the day at 6:15. I'm really not sure what's going on with him.

/nice bike ride/ That is the good news. The bad news is that I tweaked my back lifting DW’s E-bike up on the car bike rack. Trying to be careful.

Pardon if the following is TMI. This is not required, but we do share some medical info here from time to time. On the 7th I have a routine colonoscopy which will probably affect my scale readings for a day or two. On the 12th I have a Prostate biopsy.

On the brighter side, we went to see Top Gun Maverick with friends on $3 Saturday. That was a thrill a minute. Every bit as good as the first one decades ago.

9/5: 212
/walk/ Not sure why the lower readings the last couple days, but I will take it.



9/6: 214
/very little walking/ Aaaaand a dairy queen last night. Aaaaaand fast food for lunch. No food today at all as a part of my “prep” for a medical procedure.

Yesterday evening we cooked fish in our air fryer for the first time. Used some crappie (pan fish) from our freezer. It was fantastic!

9/7: 211
/hard spinning class/ Typical findings. Home from work today to let anesthesia wear off. Good thing, I can’t walk a chalk line.

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.

I hope things get better for you and the little guy very soon. You're doing your best, given the circumstances, and that's all anyone (yourself included) can ask for. I'm proud of you!

A little tidbit I learned that took FOREVER to get through my skull: Something is better than nothing but, sometimes, something is better than EVERYTHING. Because doing EVERYTHING can burn you out quick and stall progress. Something is still a little tiny baby step in the right direction WITHOUT overdoing it. Checking in here? That's something. And that's enough if it's all you can do

❤️Round 198❤️

September 4 - 13, 2022

Please join us starting on 9/4 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 198!

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.

Day/Weight/Comment

9/04 - 179
Jeez, I’m 40 pounds heavier than I was 4 years ago and just can’t seem to get a grip on myself. I obviously need a new approach. I know what I need to know about nutrition. I don’t know why I’m sabotaging myself. Sigh.

9/05 - 179.8
Yikes. But I know why.

9/06 - 178.8
Whew. Back on track.

9/07 - 178
Ok, the gain is coming back off. I’m managing my macros, aiming for lower fat/higher protein and complex carbs than I’ve been eating over the summer. I’m trying to get to the levels recommended by GenoPalate, based on my DNA, to see if it really does make a difference. Also trying very hard to keep my calories considerably lower for a while. Basically, I need to stop kidding myself.

9/08 - 178
Yesterday was another good day, calories & macros right on target. Yay!

9/8-171-So glad to be back, thank you @quiltingjaine! I have been too busy to weigh and need to get focused. It is really hot here and I can go to yoga in the morning a couple times a week, but after that, all I can do is water the yard and go inside. Yesterday I rode my horse in the cool morning and knew there would be no time for me to exercise so when we got done, I got off of him and walked him for a mile around the arena. My horse is heavy set, they call them “easy keepers” and he gains weight on air. I have to be careful about not feeding him feed that is high in carbs. Just like humans, he can get metabolic syndrome, so exercise is very important, even just walking. I say that he is sculpting his body with walking.😊 He is only nine years old, but reminds me of a menopausal woman with his calorie limitations. He HAS lost some weight this summer, which is great because like us, that extra weight is also hard on joints. Any way, when it is this hot, it’s hard to get exercise for both the horse and I.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/4: 134.9 - Holding steady. Finally finished most of the leftovers from our dinner party on Tuesday. Finally seeing some daylight in the refrigerator and freezer. Got my workout in, but spent most of the day doing sourdough-related prep (2 Tartine Country Loaves, 2 cranberry-walnut loaves, 2 ciabatta loaves, 4 balls of pizza dough). Most of those will go home with my daughter and her boyfriend or into the freezer.
9/5: 133.4 - Yesterday was a bit of an odd day. Lots of baking (in the heat) and then daughter requested a spring roll salad that I had made before and a blueberry pie since she had 7 pounds of blueberries she was bringing from Washington. Added those two things (plus the ice cream to go on top of the pie) to my diary and realized that almost all my calories for the day were going to into that one meal. Decided the high-octane calories from the Trader Joe’s Vanilla ice cream wasn’t worth it and went and got a “light” version. Also decided that probably should do an OMAD day and it worked out pretty well. This is why it is important to track and pre-track.
9/6: 132.4 - Got my jazzercise in very early in the day while we could still have the window’s open. Temperatures hit 108F in our area, which is waaaaay above normal for us. Luckily we have air conditioning and I succumbed to turn it on around 4pm. We have 4 more scorching days forecasted, so unfortunately the AC will be on more than it has ever been (we at most turn it on once or twice a summer). Tried to keep all this in mind with my eating and had a heavier salad for lunch (leftover spring roll salad with peanut sauce) and a light salad for dinner. Pre-planned for the the leftover blueberry pie and ice cream so stayed under calories.
9/7: 131.4 - After having tracked for just over a year now, sometimes I still don’t understand how this all works. Could it be this excessive heat we’re having that is sapping up all the water weight? I feel like I’m hydrating enough, but who knows. I guess we’ll see when (hopefully) this heat wave breaks in a couple of days.
9/8: 131.4 - Another high heat day, so got my workouts done early. The rest of the day was spent hydrating and trying to stay cool.

@ashleycarole86 I lost over 7 lbs in 3 days. It's a good learn as in the past the increase would really discourage me, now I know it'll come back off and it's not fat, just water. In maintenance I'm going to have to do at least 5 lbs sway!

09/06 -196.8- (Trend weight 198.9)

09/07 -196.2- (Trend weight 198.7) I almost caved in last night when I started to experience hunger. Then I realized it was not so much hunger as it was boredom. I drank some water and hopped on that new exercise bike and (carefully since I’m not approved yet for exercise), pedaled a bit without letting my heart rate get up very high. Wow, the new bike is really quiet! I can hear the TV! Travel today to eye doctor for son & I. Dinner will be out. I like the way my weight is going down and I can report it in pink or black more consistently. I won’t ruin that today at the restaurant. Friday I go back to see the surgeon which is a longer trip. I may take my friend, her son and my son and make a day of it. Probably a whole new restaurant experience in a new city. THAT is the day I have to be strong. I think I’ll be okay today.

09/08 -197.6- (Trend weight 198.6) Up from travel and lack of movement. I actually did very well during the travel meal. I even stopped at a roadside park and walked for about 15 minutes on a walking path around a creek after eating very reasonable choices in very nice controlled quantities. However, there is still an awful lot of sitting during a doctor appointment and also in car travel. I also ate 3 meals yesterday instead of two. While reasonable, it still put me over calorie and carb limits. Travel again tomorrow. Much further this time to see the surgeon.

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)

9/4 120.5 I got together with my “old” gal pals yesterday. Charcuterie board, “Buffalo” nuts and toffee nuts as well as a couple of adult beverages. I had “made” the nuts and discovered that a lot of the Buffalo seasoning was in the box so was ate some of that after I got home and drank lots of water. Perhaps I have retained some H2O but still no TMI. Maybe the excess water will help. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Not concerned
9/5 120.5 Great Greek yesterday and left overs today. DH surgery tomorrow. Still no TMI - stress related? Finally TMI long after weighing.
9/6 120.0 Leaving in 30 minutes to take DH for shoulder replacement.
9/7 120.5 Surgery went well. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Now to survive the recovery! heehee **Headache, upset stomach and much TMI - sure this is stress related
9/8 119.5 DH is home in one piece. He’s in pain and feels “miserable.” I think I slept well last night. (After catching up on posts, Maybe I didn’t sleep well, I can’t stop yawning.)

❤️Round 198❤️

September 4 - 13, 2022

Please join us starting on 9/4 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 198!

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.

9/6 / 165.6 / Back on the road today after a beautiful time in Manitoba celebrating my Aunt's wedding. As you can see my weight crept up while I was here as I had 3 back to back indulgent days. I'm glad to see it's slowly coming down again. We leave tomorrow to head west to Vancouver for my husband's bike race so I am still facing about 10 more days of vacation non-routine days. Finding ways to stay active will be key.
9/7 / 165.2 / We are heading west today as far as Kamloops, BC. Got a later start on the road as my husband had to meet his bike mechanic this morning for the final tune up before his Gran Fondo. We ate at a diner on the road and I chose something heavier than normal.
9/8 / 167 / On the road to Vancouver today. Beautiful part of the country to drive through. Before we left we had a very short time to check out some of Kamloops. Very cool place. When we get in we are going to find a bar to watch the Bills game at.

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/4: 186.0 - a pleasant surprise. Did not count calories yesterday as I had a game and usually nutrition-wise I am usually a little more lenient as I tend to consume a lot in preparation for a high-intensity match with large cal burns. Last night was also a night of drinking which may turn out to be my vice when it comes to healthy living. A lot less motivated today to do anything such as meal prep on my day off.
9/5: 188.0 - yikes. hoping this is just a fluke. Off from exercise all week due to an injury so the deficit is especially important.
9/6: 185.8 - first pumpkin spiced latte of the season yesterday and omg... it was so good
9/7: 186.2
9/8: 185.0 - doing shockingly well considering the lack of exercise
