Day/Weight/Comment
11/3: 133.4 - Good workout but ate every single one of my exercise calories back.
11/4: 132.7 - Workout completed and much better eating today. Stayed under overall calorie goal.
11/5: 132.7 - Busy day, but got my workout in. Despite eating a few pieces of Halloween candy, still ate within my goals.
11/6: 133.2 - Get together at a friend’s house for dinner. Got my workout in, but eating was not great.
11/7: 133.2 - Birthday celebrations yesterday - tried not to eat much during the day to save calories for dinner and dessert. Mostly worked. Had to add a good workout to give me some extra calories for the day.
11/8: 132.5 - Got a couple of workouts in before the rains and tried to eat more vegetables. Dessert(s) may have did me in a bit though.
11/9: 131.8 - Normal workouts, eating more vegetables for lunch and dinner, so-so sleep.
11/10: 132.7 - Good workout, ate more carbs than I should have though.

11/02 …..198.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/03 -199.6- (Trend weight 199.9)
11/04 -200.2- (Trend weight 199.9)
11/05 -199.6- (Trend weight 199.9)
11/06 -200.6- (Trend weight 200.0)
11/07 -198.8- (Trend weight 199.9)
11/08 -198.2- (Trend weight 199.7)
11/09 -199.8- (Trend weight 199.7) I am so so so grateful the scale stayed in Onederland after 3 factors: 1. travel with sitting and little activity for the day. 2. No water pill so definite fluid retention. 3. Dinner out of town at a restaurant. I definitely would have eaten better at home. I will take the hit with grace and work on a good day today and tomorrow. More travel on Friday. It’s an opportunity to choose wisely again.
11/10 -199.2- (Trend weight 199.7) I finished up my painting (final coat on a door) and even managed to reinstall it minus the knob. More room to get around the dining area without the saw horses in there! I am glad to see the scale a bit down. I know I could have done a bit better. I caved and made some pasta. Fast, easy, good and a “safe” food for me with my eating disorders. Today I will try to get in more protein.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

I went for a nice long walk in the woods yesterday, but on the way back to my car I tripped over a crazy bunch of grass and fell. Skinned and bruised my right palm, and my left knee has a big colorful lump. I’m fine, just tender, and trying to figure out how I landed on opposite limbs! But the woods were lovely, full of crunchy leaves and that wonderful fragrance of fall. Today I’m off to hang out at the dog show, see friends, smooch dogs. Have a great day, everyone!

I had a lovely time yesterday hanging out at the dog show, seeing friends, some I see all the time, some from other places I see only occasionally, and playing with dogs. A friend from Indianapolis whom I met on a train in 2011 was here showing her dog, and came for dinner, which was lovely. And in spite of the lobster ravioli with olive oil and Parmesan, a little wine, and a piece of lemon pound cake, I stayed under calories for the day. (No lunch.) I also go lots of steps walking around the Coliseum for 3+ hours! I’m writing today but plan to spend most of tomorrow at the show, trying to figure out what kind of dog I want next, which is weight-related since I get a lot more exercise when I’m playing with a dog! 😁
11/05 - 177
Ok, time lag from Thursday. That’s fine. I just got home from all day at the dog show again, walking or standing most of the time. It was fun to see people I haven’t seen in ages. Staying home tomorrow to write and make soup.
11/06 - 176.6
Nothing to report since I checked in late yesterday. Planning a creative day—write (working on an idea for a new book), make soup (once I land on a recipe), knit, go for a walk, read…. I hope you all have a lovely Sunday!
11/07 - 176.6
I made a really yummy new soup yesterday—butternut squash and apple. Interesting combo! And low calorie. Leftovers today. Yum. That’s the 42nd different soup I’ve made this year. 🍵
11/08 - 176.6
I’m beginning to see a trend here. 😊 I actually expected to be up this morning as I ate way too much yesterday. Moving along…
11/09 - 177.2
Oopsie doopsie. I overate yesterday, too. Don’t know what’s gotten into me the past two days. Colder weather, I guess. I’ll do better today.
11/10 - 176.8
I can’t seem to stop eating — did it again yesterday. Aaaackk! But I ate a better breakfast this morning, and I find that usually keeps me under control the rest of the day, so we’ll see if I do better today.

My basic plan is to lose one pound a week (on avg). This week is a little extra since I am just starting (first week, if I am good, is usually more).
Day/Weight/Comment
11/7 235: The morning after a 2-week cruise. Changing from WW to MyFitnessPal and calories.
11/8 231.8: First day is always easy to lose. I tracked everything and really didn't eat enough. Wasn't my plan.
11/9 231.6: Customer was in town so I was less active and ate a few things that I shouldn't. But I owned it all and tracked everything!
11/10 230.6: A little surprised. Same going on as 11/9. Tracked everything. I'll take it! Hungry today but I am watching the calories and other nutrients - mostly trying not to eat all the candy that is here at work (and I have been really good - because it is over if I even have just one!).

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.
time, effort, and most of all, patience!

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 203 (my 135th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.
That's the last 0.2 pound of holiday weight gain gone. Now to move on to the weight that crepy on before I went! I'd like to lose a pound this round.
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. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

/mowing & leaf pick-up over my noon hour/ Two days ago I weighed almost 4 pounds more. It was he aftermath of a careless weekend, too much salt and not enough TMI. So this drop is not a great accomplishment. None the less, I am happy to see it.
I logged my food yesterday for the first time in a while. I must confess, when MFP took the barcode scanner away from “the unwashed” such as myself, it took a little bit of the shine off the app.
11/04: 215.8
/no exercise/ We have two snacks at the office. Peanut M&Ms and Peanut butter filled pretzels. I may have been involved in a one-person snaccident yesterday.

/yard work/ A general weekend of excess. Too many social engagements.
11/08: 216
/not/ Almost back to my starting weight. Yesterday’s food intake was very controlled. I had to consciously tamp down the temptation to pack the pie hole. It’s hard.
Going to exercise my right to vote today.
11/09: 215
/Weights, Stretching and Spinning/ Feeling like the “sponge” is getting a little rung out. I can hold and absorb stuff with the best of sponges. What I need is less sponge. How many sentences in a row can I use the word sponge?
I logged it all yesterday.
Have a good hump day.

11/3 148.6 Off to a good start.
11/4 148.2
11/5 148.0 Ate a little more than I should have yesterday.
11/6 148.2 It was our youngest sons birthday, so we had him over for a family dinner last night.
11/7 148.4 Stuck to plan pretty good yesterday, so not sure what's going on.
11/8 147.8 That's better
11/9 147.8 Today is my birthday. My husband made reservations at a nice restaurant for tonight, but they're forecasting another 8" of snow today so we may have to postpone the dinner until the weekend. We live up in the mountains, 20 miles from town, so it wouldn't be very safe driving conditions at night.
11/10 147.0 Wow, I just met goal too! Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes! I stayed in yesterday and watched my intake of food. We'll go out to dinner this weekend, I'm really looking forward to a lobster dinner

November 3 - November 12, 2022
Please join us starting on 11/3 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 204
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👍👍

Day/Weight/Comment
11/3 - 💪🏻✏️⏱ 124.4. I was here before my trip last week. We’ll see if I can get below it! I did my 100th Peloton ride yesterday! Most of those rides have been since June so I'm feeling pretty good. I also had a single piece of Halloween candy which seems like a big success. I definitely have a Pringle problem with snack-size candy--once I pop I can't stop!
11/4 - ⏱💪🏻123.2! That feels good. If my Renpho scale can be trusted, I would hit my initial body fat goal of 25% today! Not sure if I do trust it, though. I did a strength workout and Peloton ride yesterday. Today will be tough to get a workout in because my 3 year old was sent home with an earache and fever yesterday so he’s home with me. There’s always something. At least it’s Friday though!
11/5 - 124.4
11/6 - 125.2 - the weekend is striking again. I’ve worked out at least a little bit both days but haven’t paid much attention to my intake. I went to a women’s story circle gathering last night and enjoyed a wide variety of snacks and too much wine. Today we had pancakes and bacon for breakfast, and we’re having subs for lunch.
11/7 - 💪🏻✏️⏱🚫127.2 Ahh, why do I do this to myself every weekend? I was so far off the rails all weekend. We finally had a weekend at home. I did get my workouts in at least. It's a new week! I'm sure part of this is water retention, but I'm probably going to have to work on this all week just to get back to where I've already been.
11/8 - 💪🏻✏️⏱🚫126.2. Get out of here, weekend weight gain! Was kind of hoping that more would drop off today but I guess it's going to take more than one good day. I did 40 minutes of strength training and 30 minutes of Peloton riding yesterday and stayed a little under my calorie goal. That's definitely easiest to achieve if I fast until 2pm or later, but I'm feeling hungry today. Today I'm going on a mountain bike ride at lunch time with my neighbor! With some assistance from my husband, I changed my own brake pads this morning. It's so empowering to do my own bike maintenance. It makes me want to do more. I also voted this morning! If you're in the US and haven't already, vote! vote! vote!
11/9 - 💪🏻✏️⏱ 125.0. I had a great on-plan day yesterday. Today will be a little trickier since we're going to a brewery for dinner, but I think I can do it. I don't usually make the healthiest choices there, but there are actually some healthy options for food. Yesterday's mountain bike ride was rescheduled to today. Yesterday, instead of mountain biking, I went for a 45-minute/3.5-mile jog with the dogs and did a leg workout (owwwww). Happy hump day everyone!
11/10 - 💪🏻✏️⏱🚫123.6. This morning my husband told me I'm "falling off" (to quote my late grandmother from when I lost weight a few years ago) and I should be done losing weight and just work on building muscle. I'm not sure I agree with him but I have noticed that I'm getting close to where I want to be. I don't know how to determine my goal weight! I'm feeling pretty confident at this weight but there are still some fatty parts of me (tummy, arms) that I would like to diminish. I'm not sure how to proceed. Does anyone have any advice?
11/11 123.6 again. Hopefully the fact that the challenge ends tomorrow will help me stay on plan today! Usually Fridays are when I start to go off the rails into the weekend. Already off to a rough start with a pancake & sausage breakfast to celebrate my three-year-old going to sleep by himself (it was still 10:15 but at least he was alone!). I usually fast until 1 or 2 on weekdays. I'm planning on a good long Peloton ride at lunch time today.

More room to get around the dining area without the saw horses in there! I am glad to see the scale a bit down. I know I could have done a bit better. I caved and made some pasta. Fast, easy, good and a “safe” food for me with my eating disorders. Today I will try to get in more protein.
11/11 -198.0- (Trend weight 199.2) Travel again today with my friend and we will be having lunch out-of-town after the medical appt in celebration of her birthday. I will be mindful as I would like to end this round, at the very least, still in Onederland though that will be almost impossible to do. Today is my true non-bloat weight. I’m really dancing around 200 way too much. Time to get off the dance floor and start the solid journey to my dream destination!

11/03 - 176.2
I went for a nice long walk in the woods yesterday, but on the way back to my car I tripped over a crazy bunch of grass and fell. Skinned and bruised my right palm, and my left knee has a big colorful lump. I’m fine, just tender, and trying to figure out how I landed on opposite limbs! But the woods were lovely, full of crunchy leaves and that wonderful fragrance of fall. Today I’m off to hang out at the dog show, see friends, smooch dogs. Have a great day, everyone!
11/04 - 176.4
I had a lovely time yesterday hanging out at the dog show, seeing friends, some I see all the time, some from other places I see only occasionally, and playing with dogs. A friend from Indianapolis whom I met on a train in 2011 was here showing her dog, and came for dinner, which was lovely. And in spite of the lobster ravioli with olive oil and Parmesan, a little wine, and a piece of lemon pound cake, I stayed under calories for the day. (No lunch.) I also go lots of steps walking around the Coliseum for 3+ hours! I’m writing today but plan to spend most of tomorrow at the show, trying to figure out what kind of dog I want next, which is weight-related since I get a lot more exercise when I’m playing with a dog! 😁
11/05 - 177
Ok, time lag from Thursday. That’s fine. I just got home from all day at the dog show again, walking or standing most of the time. It was fun to see people I haven’t seen in ages. Staying home tomorrow to write and make soup.
11/06 - 176.6
Nothing to report since I checked in late yesterday. Planning a creative day—write (working on an idea for a new book), make soup (once I land on a recipe), knit, go for a walk, read…. I hope you all have a lovely Sunday!
11/07 - 176.6
I made a really yummy new soup yesterday—butternut squash and apple. Interesting combo! And low calorie. Leftovers today. Yum. That’s the 42nd different soup I’ve made this year. 🍵
11/08 - 176.6
I’m beginning to see a trend here. 😊 I actually expected to be up this morning as I ate way too much yesterday. Moving along…
11/09 - 177.2
Oopsie doopsie. I overate yesterday, too. Don’t know what’s gotten into me the past two days. Colder weather, I guess. I’ll do better today.
11/10 - 176.8
I can’t seem to stop eating — did it again yesterday. Aaaackk! But I ate a better breakfast this morning, and I find that usually keeps me under control the rest of the day, so we’ll see if I do better today.
11/11 - 177.6
Ugh. The aftermath of overeating. I don’t know why I become a vacuum cleaner in the evenings the past few days. Gotta stop this nonsense.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/3: 133.4 - Good workout but ate every single one of my exercise calories back.
11/4: 132.7 - Workout completed and much better eating today. Stayed under overall calorie goal.
11/5: 132.7 - Busy day, but got my workout in. Despite eating a few pieces of Halloween candy, still ate within my goals.
11/6: 133.2 - Get together at a friend’s house for dinner. Got my workout in, but eating was not great.
11/7: 133.2 - Birthday celebrations yesterday - tried not to eat much during the day to save calories for dinner and dessert. Mostly worked. Had to add a good workout to give me some extra calories for the day.
11/8: 132.5 - Got a couple of workouts in before the rains and tried to eat more vegetables. Dessert(s) may have did me in a bit though.
11/9: 131.8 - Normal workouts, eating more vegetables for lunch and dinner, so-so sleep.
11/10: 132.7 - Good workout, ate more carbs than I should have though.
11/11: 132.7 - Got both workouts in, which I definitely needed since I met up with friends for dinner. First time in a few years that I ordered a lobster roll. Yum.

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.

11/9 123.5 Since I didn’t feel well yesterday so didn’t eat much but I did have a bowl of buttery, salty popcorn. Also no decent TMI for a few days😑 Will post the link to Round 205 later this morning.

11/5 / 168.6 / I am dealing with some very low moods. I am happy I am keeping it mostly together. I have very little energy right now. I am not finding my motivation for exercise. I am not dealing with food as well as I'd like, but well enough. I need to turn things around and get back to under 165 where I want to be maintaining.
11/6 / 169.4 / I woke up today feeling refreshed. Went right from my bed to my Peloton. Did my push-ups. Had a healthy smoothie to start my day. It's amazing the difference starting on the right foot can make!
11/7 / 167.8 / Today feels really positive as the last time I weighed less than today was Sep 8, which means this moment feels like an opportunity to capitalize on. Currently catching up on here and then I have plans to exercise before bed.
11/8 / 168.4 / Got my Peloton exercise in before bed last night. Not ideal timing, but so proud I could make it happen. Slept decently too so I'm ready to tackle this snowy cold day at the office.
11/9 / 167

11/11 / 169.4 / Off for our first winter hike of the season. Last night we had an amazing date night... candlelight concert at a Hangar Museum with a string quartet doing Coldplay's music with dinner at my favorite restaurant.

@ashleycarole wow that date night sounds amazing! Like something from The Bachelor haha!4

@Pezhed, I think one of the hardest things is to determine what is the "correct" weight. I am getting close to that line. When to stop dieting and start toning? When you figure that out let me know. I think that when you are shorter this line is harder to determine.

My basic plan is to lose one pound a week (on avg). This week is a little extra since I am just starting (first week, if I am good, is usually more).
Day/Weight/Comment
11/7 235: The morning after a 2-week cruise. Changing from WW to MyFitnessPal and calories.
11/8 231.8: First day is always easy to lose. I tracked everything and really didn't eat enough. Wasn't my plan.
11/9 231.6: Customer was in town so I was less active and ate a few things that I shouldn't. But I owned it all and tracked everything!
11/10 230.6: A little surprised. Same going on as 11/9. Tracked everything. I'll take it! Hungry today but I am watching the calories and other nutrients - mostly trying not to eat all the candy that is here at work (and I have been really good - because it is over if I even have just one!).
11/11 228.6: Like I said yesterday... I was hungry... and I did eat my calories...
