@refactored I don’t know how old your kids are but what I did when I joined WW in 1985 (kids were 12 and 14 but could have done this younger) was to have the girls take their plates to the sink and run water over them. It made the food inedible and it needed to go down the disposal not down Mom!

That's a good idea. I think I just need to accept the food wastage at this stage.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/22 116.3 Down 500g from yesterday so very happy.
1/23 116.2 Great to have a loss no matter how much. Sticking to kilojoule allowance but having a rest day from exercise as back a little sore.
1/24 116.2 No change but yesterday I was under my kjs so hopefully it’ll change tomorrow. Today I will be doing a lot of steps.
1/25 116.2 Yesterday I only ate half my exercise back. I’ll try to do some rowing today.
1/26 116.2 Getting a bit frustrated with weight not changing though I know it will probably have a drop soon. Did row yesterday and only ate a 1/3 back. Will row again today.
1/27 116.2 Checked my scale is not broken. Still behaving and rowing.

Stayed within calorie budget and exercised. I am going to aim for consistency this round.

1/23: 172.8 lb
Achieved my goals for the day.

1/24: 173.0 lb
Stayed within calorie budget and exercised. Was an active day for me and I was a bit hungry during the day.

1/25: 173.0 lb
Why O why do I eat my children's leftovers? My youngest is the worst for leaving food on his plate. He eats like a bird - the occasional peck at his food then he moves on. I need to add a goal which is not to eat my children's leftovers and get him to sit at the table until dinner is done.

1/26: 173.3 lb
I have been naughty and have not been counting a vegetable stir fry I usually eat for lunch. I think that is the reason for my lack of progress. I will count it from now on and see what happens. I thought it was relatively benign. It has cauliflower rice, zucchini, mushrooms, onion, and bok choy. It will be interesting to see how many calories it comes to.

Mostly over Covid but still one or two niggly symptoms hanging on.

• In Maintenance since July 2019
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal range

Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessary.
People are still dying out there……… and the numbers are on the rise again.
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
JANUARY focus:

* maintain weight < 140 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
* Maintain Daily Solid Habits

I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

1/23 - 187.6 - we did homemade pizza last night...carbs and salty meat...rest of the day was good
1/24 - 185.8 - good way to start the day!
1/25 - 185.2 - was setting up for a client yesterday...11 hours and 15000 steps. Brought a salad with tuna and cottage cheese instead of going out for lunch and lots of water which seems to have fended off the carb/sodium bloat from the leftover pizza I scarfed down when I got home.
1/26 - 184.4 - We only did half a day at set up yesterday as a big storm was rolling in and we didn't want to deal with the drive if we stayed later. Got home in time to pop over to our local with hubby...chose a craft gin and soda vs a craft beer.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/22 168.2 Up a bit since yesterday. Last round I just let loose. Lot's of good things that shook up my routines and I gave in and let it get away from me. Surprisingly I ended the round down in pounds. I'll be happy with one pound down every 10 days. I am not in any rush to reach my goal weight--but I want to change my habits so that it doesn't creep back up.

1/23 168.6 rejoined OTF signed up for 8 classes a month but after going two days in a row I think I will get addicted again and want to increase.

1/24 167.0 Banged my toe last night and it is all swollen. I will get it looked at today and hopefully I will be able to do INFERNO at OTF on Thursday. It is a series of tread/row blocks and then the floor exercises.

1/25 168.4 I am wondering if this is due to going over on my sodium last night. I had a lot of soy sauce with my Mung bean sprouts. I had a lot of sodium for dinner tonight too. I think it might be worth tracking to see if there is a correlation between night time salt and scale gains.

1/26 168.4 So the morning after another high sodium night and my weight stayed the same. Tonight I stayed on the low side for sodium so we will see what the scale looks like tomorrow. My toe is feeling a bit better so hopefully tomorrow I will be back at the gym. I can get it into sneakers again.

Age 53, 5’5”
Heaviest- 345+ lbs (my highest known weight prior to gastric bypass in Aug 2005)
Weight Aug 2006: 170 lbs.
Weight in Jan 2022: 219 lbs
Weight at beginning of 1st Round: 157.6 lbs
Current Weight- 156 lbs
Goal Weight- 150 lbs (TBD)*


This week's daily goals: 90 grams of protein, 8 cups fluid, iron/supplements, 10 mins meditation.**

1/22- 156.0 lbs, took iron, took supplements, 85 g protein, 7 cups fluid, forgot to meditate. I spent the entire day cleaning my apartment (other than a long dog walk).
1/23 – 156.4 lbs, took supplements but forgot about iron, 66 g protein, 7 cups of fluid and I forgot to mediate again. Feeling a bit discouraged.
1/24 – 155.2 lbs, took iron, took supplements, 65 g protein and 5 cups fluid. No meditation. Sheesh!
1/25 – 153.6 lbs, took iron, took supplements, 77 g protein, and 6 cups fluid. Again, shockingly, no meditation. I need to make a plan, man.
1/26 – 153 lbs, took iron, neglected to take supplements, 70 g protein, 8 cups fluid. I guess I shouldn’t have made meditation a challenge…

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 212 (my 144th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.

Goal for this round; aimimg to lose a pound and a half. 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.

SW: 137.8
Day/Weight/Comment
1/22 137.8 – good start to the round, hope it's not just because I had a lie in after a late night and therefore weighed in late – the scale initially showed yesterday's weight 138.2 & then dropped down to 137.8 – I'll take it !! I'll stay strong today to try to retain this number.

1/23 137.8 – 7.73 miles walked. ¼ exercise calories eaten back.
1/24 137.8 – 11.58 miles walked, just over half of exercise calories eaten back. Started with a croaky, sore throat & cough, trying to shake it off from getting hold of me.
1/25 137.8 – 10.74 miles, a third of exercise calories eaten back. Started to feel pretty worse as the day went on, had an awful night; sore throat, wracking cough, temperature, multiple weird dreams!! Going to try a gentle walk later as I think the fresh air will do me good.
1/26 137.8 - 6.77 miles walked yesterday, felt much better whilst I was out in the fresh air. I fed my cold yesterday with chocolate, luckily it didn't show up on the scales, but it made me think what would the number have been if I hadn't caved! Feeling a little better this morning, but my throat is so sore and the racking cough is so painful on my throat
1/27 138.2 – 8.07 miles walked. Well there is the chocolate & I did indulge yesterday to . Feel a little brighter this morning, determined to gain control again from now, 4 days to make goal.

***************************************

1/22 161.4 I'm not at all surprised at my gain today. Yesterday didn't go at all to plan, we ended up eating out for lunch and dinner. I had a small chicken burrito bowl for lunch which was OK but they put too much creamy sauce on it. Then we went to an Indian restaurant for dinner, which is always so hard to find healthy choices. I went for a chicken shaslik (grilled chicken with veggies) and a small rice which I shared with my niece. I did have a couple of beers though and far too many poppadoms. It was a great day, we went bowling and to the arcade, I baked fairy cakes with my niece and played with her loads. I'm so besotted with both her and my tiny baby nephew! He's only a month old and is totally scrumptious!.... Is 42 too old to be trying for a baby? Arghh broody!
I have one child, my daughter is 19 and just about to fly the nest... My husband (37) has none and I fear he'll want them one day...
Will try to fast for most of the day and get a good walk in if there's time. My SIL is recovering from her C section so walking any distance is not possible for her. We'll have to see what time they go home and if there's any daylight left.
Using yesterday's weight (160.8) as my guide to set my goal for this week as today's weight isn't accurate, there's a lot of food still 'in transit'.

1/23 159.8 A relief to see my weight drop back down after the weekend! I fasted most of the day yesterday, until about 5pm then had a few snacks in the evening. I have to watch out for cravings sneaking back in, also the temptation to have a beer in the evening to relax. Back on diligent logging today after not being able to for the last 3 days. It feels good to be back in control. I must get out for a long walk today.

1/24 159.6 Stayed below calorie goal but got carried away with some 68 calorie per bag snacks made from chickpeas, too nice, I had 4! Busy day today, catching a flight to Portugal so no weigh in tomorrow and I'm going to pack food to bring with me. Back in the early hours of Thursday morning. However lots of flights are getting cancelled due to strikes so fingers crossed.

1/25 DNW

1/26 159.6 I'm glad to see my trip didn't cause a spike in my weight (so far, tomorrow may show different) I managed to make sensible choices on the whole, with a few treats. I went over my calories by about double but we did lots of walking. Back to normal today, although I have lots of sleep to catch up on.

1/27 158.6 Oo, nice! Didn't do much yesterday, just rest and recuperate with fasting most of the day. I'm feeling a bit stiff today so need to get some exercise in and some healthy food.

Hello, I’m Amanda. I did great with these 10 day challenges in the summer and the fall but some things have changed health wise and I’m finding it harder to lose the weight. Here’s hoping for a more positive outcome this time around.

OSW: 250 lbs
1/22 SW: 204.4
1/31 GW: 203.4

1/22: 204.4
Up a little bit due to celebratory pizza last night but this will come off. It was a really good reason to celebrate and you can’t miss big milestones in life!

1/23: 201.7 (!)
Weighed myself twice. Hopefully I can stay here!

1/24: 200.7 (!)
Again, weighed myself twice. Bodies are so strange!
(I also realized yesterday I put my weight in as 101, not 201…lol)

1/25: 201.7
Up, down, up, down. Overall a downward trend this round.

1/26: 200.7
Lots of snow here, almost landed myself in a ditch yesterday and I was going slow. Very fatigued too, work is a killer this week. I will keep going!

1/27: 201.7
Feeling very low today. The only thing I can think of to say is TGIF.

Skyleen75

got care free in maintenance and the scale went up one lb at a time. Now I’m turning it around one lb at a time.

R211 EW 186.6

1/22 188.8

1/24 185.8
1/25 186.6
1/26 184.6
1/27 182.8 Keep the whoosh whooshing! For clarity I did gain an epic ten pounds of egg nog weight over the holidays (from 178 to 188). Happy that my body is finally letting go of it. It was getting hard for me to call it “bloat” when it sticks around for two months.
I do expect to bounce a bit as this is not a linear journey.

01/26 -196.8- (Trend weight 197.9) In two weeks they are changing my cardiac rehab days from Mon/Wed to Tue/Thur. I’m not real happy about that due to lots of previously made appointments coming up on those days. Also, the whole town seems to have senior discounts (30%) all over the place on Wednesdays only. I’ll be missing that for sure! Yesterday was a very good eating day. I would say great but I did try something not on my pre-logged food. It was small so I dropped off one of my snacks to make up for it and still had pretty good macros afterall, (over by 5 on carbs tho). Nice to still see a loss. Got some exercise in during the rehab. Broke a sweat and my EKG showed good. I decided to look up my BMI future after reading the post from @antiderivative. I will finally (barely) dip into the overweight category at exactly 180 pounds. That is certainly another goal to achieve.

01/27 -196.0- (Trend weight 197.7) Today shows a nice whoosh after a very good day of diet. I was able to go down to the school yesterday and walk inside for 45 minutes because my daughter works there. That was so nice. They haven’t allowed that since 2019 before the Covid school shut-downs. I plan on doing this a couple of times a week. I will also be rotating in the equipment that has taken over my livingroom. I’m still feeling strong in my resolve. Today is a travel day with a friend who eats too much and is very overweight. She needed a driver. My diet may be off but I will work hard to not undo all my progress. Thanks to everyone who noticed my 5 year anniversary on MFP yesterday. Wow! Where has the time gone?

Completed my food and exercise diary for the first time in months, and a little happy sore from all my 5 minute workouts today. A tiny bit nervous about weekly weight in tomorrow since I'm eating my last meal so late, but hoping some stretching tonight and a good BM in the morning won't disappoint, lololo

1/26 197.4 ok that's better. maybe my body go the picture about weight lifting. I stayed up really late reading a novel all in one sitting last night, it's probably been 20 years since I did that last, haha! and I also feel like I'm getting an ear infection, which I also have not had in about 20 years? weird day!

1/27 - 163.5 - Sodium? Uptick from the cheesecake 2 days ago? I have no idea why I'm up today. I was under calorie goal (estimate since I was working late and didn't see what BF put in dinner specifically. He told me, but I couldn't estimate measurements) and didn't eat back any of my very miniscule exercise calories. I woke up about 15 minutes before my alarm today so I've already knocked out my FeelGoodPlan workout. Debating if I want to attempt yoga with the pups finally settled down and back sleeping (it won't last). Already finished all my scripting and journaling once I hit post on this... Grocery shopping today as well as taking the pup to the vet. A lot of driving. Wish I could take the pup in with me into the grocery store. I'm a tad nervous using curbside pickup as I had a bad experience with them after I broke my back in Kansas. The produce they picked for me had a bunch of mold on it! And the milk was out of date. I've heard good things from friends about the store here so I'm hoping it works out. Now to make sure I have everything I need in my cart... eek! I guess this risk is better than driving the 40 minute (one way) trip into town twice!

Previous Day's Comments

1/22 - Headed out of town in a bit and there's a chance we won't come back until tomorrow (bringing work things to work on the road as a precaution) which also means no weigh in until Tuesday at the earliest. I wanted to let you all know I'm still alive. BF's dad and brother weren't so bad, though they all got a little silly Friday night and I went to bed with some loud sleepy music to drown out the loud talking/laughing. They left yesterday around noon and I spent the day putting my house/routine back in order. Pups are getting along now, for 3 mornings now they've taken to play fighting for hours as soon as I let them out after waking up. It's been an hour now and I can still hear them going at it. I'm glad, though. Harley still isn't sure about bed and couch sharing, but she's getting better. I'm working to get back into routine myself, but travel will postpone a little bit of that. For the most part, I stuck to my habits, though.
1/23 - DNP
1/24 - Not bad for not having weighed, tracked, and generally not checking in. Plus, TOM showed up on Saturday afternoon a little earlier than expected. And then travel, which not only lowers my water intake but also increases my eating out/unhealthy options. It's currently chilly, but a beautiful rainy morning. I did my workout to the sounds of rain on a metal roof. Journaled to the same sound. Just did a couple sun salutations under my porch overhang to thank Mother Nature for the rain as yesterday it was announced we were in a burn ban due to the dry conditions. I've taken to doing 3 iterations of sun salutation-forward fold-half fold-forward fold-sun salutation iterations a morning. It gets me focusing on my breath first thing, I always go to out on my back porch/deck (depending on weather) to get fresh air, and on clear days, I get a beautiful sunrise which always lifts my mood first thing. Despite missing my beautiful sunrise, it lifted my mood but that's due to the aforementioned dry conditions in the area being remedied. I went shopping and got myself the makings of a nice cobb salad I'll be able to munch on for at least 2 days this week, if not more. I also got the ingredients for making my own wontons/steamed dumplings which BF and I both like. Hoping this week will be a quick turnaround back into good habits after last week's upheaval. Also, it's good to be back here (: I've missed you all.
1/25 - Oh I'm so proud of that number! I ended up making a GIANT cobb salad yesterday and BF decided to be a smarty pants and say "I hope that's not for dinner! It looks good, but too many green things" and so we had taco salad for dinner bahahahah! Today I did my workout, as planned, and am all caught up. Rest day tomorrow. Workout Friday, my day off, and then vet visit with Smoke for more shots and follow up on surgery. Hopefully cleared to bathe and walk! Harley is so mad for stopping our evening routine and bugs me every night. Sorry girl, I miss it, too. Cobb salad again today for lunch. I did eat breakfast but kept portions fairly small and hope dinner can stay small, but filling, as well to avoid eating back all my exercise calories. I have the last of the cobb salad for tomorrow and plenty of leftover veg for more salads! Hopefully I can eat it all before it goes bad.
1/26 - I indulged in a small slice of my homemade strawberry swirl cheesecake (everything, including crust, is from scratch) after dinner. I was right at expected calories for Fitbit and under by 57 on MFP despite that splurge. It is lactose-heavy, though, so I'm not surprised at the little extra bloat, both visibly and on the scale. No workout today as I did 2 in a row already. Back at it tomorrow. Will be mindful about getting up and moving through the day, though. I have leftover cobb salad to finish up for lunch. Not sure dinner yet, but I should know by lunchtime and can adjust from there. Hoping to fast today and not need breakfast. Yesterday I was very nauseous and ate but hoping today I can push it a little further. Dinner was also later last night than it has been in a little while so I should be able to "tough it out" until lunch (and by "tough it out" I mean avoid the habit/boredom/mindless eating I'm used to while working. If I get nauseous or actually hungry, I'll eat)

1/22-186.8
1/23 - 187.6 - we did homemade pizza last night...carbs and salty meat...rest of the day was good
1/24 - 185.8 - good way to start the day!
1/25 - 185.2 - was setting up for a client yesterday...11 hours and 15000 steps. Brought a salad with tuna and cottage cheese instead of going out for lunch and lots of water which seems to have fended off the carb/sodium bloat from the leftover pizza I scarfed down when I got home.
1/26 - 184.4 - We only did half a day at set up yesterday as a big storm was rolling in and we didn't want to deal with the drive if we stayed later. Got home in time to pop over to our local with hubby...chose a craft gin and soda vs a craft beer.
1/27 - 183.0 - Was not expecting this! DS(17) was making dinner for us when I got home from set up last night...and as not to deter the teenager from taking the initiative to make dinner I just guestimated my logging based on what he told me was in it. He used way more oil and soy sauce than I would so I was expecting some sodium bloat today. Gift show set up is done and I don't have any work booked for a while so I'll have to keep myself busy and moving in other ways.

Day/Weight/Comment

1/22 – 147.2 So round 210 was on target, 211 started great, then distractions came in again. I have to figure out how to not swing extremes. This morning was more up from yesterday, but DH and I went out to eat last night and I made choices without regard to calories (cocktail, pad thai, and half a huge dessert). But I am back here today. Round 212. Thoughtful breakfast choices and will plan out my day as I will be “out” for most of the day and will need to face one meal out of the house.

1/23 – 146.2 yesterday went well enough. Spent the day at my parents’ assisted living apartment. I worked through cleaning the place up. They collect things and also seem to not be able to put things away. Tracked well, but no exercise.

1/24 - 147.0 No tracking, no exercise

1/25 – 145.2 Thoughtful food selections, but not MFP tracking. Still no exercise. Massachusetts weather is lousy ATM, not ready to get back into the Apple workouts, and tons to do in the two weeks I am up north. Counting on reestablishing exercise habits during the 3 months in Florida and my returning to pleasant weather in May. Starting my Invisalign this morning. Quite nervous about the process given my teeth are not young, and I’ve spent too much time reading about complications.

1/26 – 144.2 Tracked properly with MFP. Tracking was after the fact which is not my favorite, but hey, I tracked! AND was under my target!! Invisalign is ATM not bad. I had heard day 1 could be awful (kept remembering I have unused oxycodone from a 2018 surgery). Haven’t even needed Tylenol (Advil is a no no on Invisalign, sadly my preferred pain med). Tricky aspects is nothing but water while trays in, and goal is to have them in 22 hours a day. AND they are a pain to get out and must brush, floss/waterpic, and clean trays before putting them in. “Picking” on food will be very much deterred. Today, I need to plan ahead so that I get enough food in each meal so that I can make it to the next. Very foreign concept to me. Estimate for me is 14 months of this, so maybe I will have some new eating habits by then.

1/27 – 144.4 Two days of new learning curve of dealing with food and drinks with Invisalign. Cooking is a totally different experience for those of us that “taste” while cooking. You can’t, or you either have to take the trays out and clean (not so easy) or you risk sugars creeping under the tray and sitting there long term working at rotting your teeth. No more spoon licking :’( . Had three meals and a midafternoon coffee, so four “outs”. Tracking/planning ahead worked pretty well. I was hungry by the next meal, but I think that is how we are supposed to be. :P Came in at 1540 calories. Should not have produced an “up”, but that tells me that my recent ups and down have a solid fluid component to them.
