64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 213 (my 145th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.
Goal for this round; I'm not looking at a specific number, instead I need to aim to cut out chocolate & biscuits 'cuz I can't stop at 1 or even 2, it starts me on a downward addictive spiral. So that and any loss is my aim.. No binges, keep within calories & macros.SpoilerAchieved 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 to around 130. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

SW 138.6
2/1 138.6 - 9.91 miles walked, a much better day & under control! 5% of exercise calories eaten back.
2/2 138 β 11.04 miles walked, half of exercise calories eaten back.
2/3 138.4 β childminding DGS; no structured walking.
2/4 139.8 β don't ask!!:( 9.68 miles walked, but that was not enough to negate the massive amount of food I binged on
. I'm such a stupid greedy pig!! Today is Saturday, it will be good to spend my walking together with DH.
2/5 139.4 - 11.86 miles walked, & back in control, all but 197 of exercise calories eaten back. Saturday for us is pizza night together with a massive delicious crunchy salad, we also have oven roasted chips, I normally have just 100 calories worth, but last week I realised that I am not that bothered about the taste so this week didn't have any and to TBH didn't miss them. More importantly no chocolate/biscuits. Thank you for your kind words, I'm over yesterdayβs rant at myself now.
2/6 139.4 β no structured walking, DS & family came down for a roast lunch & then we all went to a wider family get together; 27 of us, all my DSs & their children & grandchildren. We try to do this a couple of times a year, not all of us manage it as to get a date that all of us can make is near impossible!!
2/7 139.4 β 9.61 miles walked yesterday, ate back ΒΎ of exercise calories, but stayed in control & no chocolate/biscuits.
2/8 139.4 β 10.88 miles walked, 75% exercise calories eaten back.
2/9 139.4 β my body seems to like this number! 12.39 miles walked, 75% exercise calories eaten back.

***************************************
1/30 158.6
1/31 157.6
2/1 158.0 Massive sugar cravings and low mood yesterday, which I gave in to, so I'm not surprised to see a small gain. Think it's hormones coming into play. TOTM this round so it will be interesting to see how that affects my weight and energy levels.
2/2 157.4 Still lots of cravings, which I gave into in the form of left over Christmas biscuits, gah. Didn't eat any proper food to make up for the indulgences, that's not the way to go.
2/3 157.4 Went to the pub last night with OH, which was unplanned, so calories ended up way over. It also didn't help that I came home and had ice cream and crisps, whoops! As a result I had a poor night's sleep so I feel like crap today, that'll learn me.
2/4 157.8 Well, I guess this little uptick is down to bad choices on Thursday and having a lazy day yesterday. Tiredness and sugar cravings are still causing issues.
2/5 157.2 OK that's a bit better. Still making poor choices in the evening but not eating much during the day is just about balancing things out. Not the best method nutritionally though. Went with OH for his hospital appointment, he was having an MRI scan for joint pain. We didn't realise how long these things take, so after an hours drive there, I was sat in the car waiting for 3hrs, then an hours drive back. Then i stayed on the sofa all evening because I was feeling low and unmotivated. Sun is shining today, must do better.
2/6 157.8 Gah. This could be just water I hope. Went for a 4 mile walk and had salty soup and rice cakes. I'll be lucky if I even weigh less than the end of last round at this rate. It's Monday, a good day to strengthen my resolve. I know how important it is for me to feel comfortable in my body in order to enjoy life. I determine to not waste another beautiful year hiding away and feeling shame. I'm planning on going to the gym today for the first time in about 18 months, got my clothes all laid out and ready, I just need to find the courage.
2/7 158.0 Well that's very discouraging. I made it to the gym and did a relatively gentle workout. 10 mins elliptical, 30 mins fast walking on treadmill and 15 mins rowing. I'm glad I went though, it helped me see how unfit I've become! Not sure why I've had a gain, I don't think it's water retention from muscle soreness because I didn't work that hard. My mfp diary shows my daily net average calories are 895 for the last week and 745 for the week before so I think I should have lost more than 1.9 pounds in that time. I guess my metabolism is just being very stubborn and I need to find ways to raise my energy output. Tricky when I feel so exhausted all the time. Glad totm finishes today and my hormones can settle for a while.
2/8 157.8 Had a more busy day than usual with an hour at the gym then dentists and shopping for 3 hours. I noticed my fitness tracker watch doesn't count my steps if my arms aren't moving by my side eg when pushing a shopping trolley or carrying something. Are they all like that? Dentist said I have gum disease and need to be more rigorous with my oral hygiene or my teeth might fall out, yikes!
Meeting up with mum for a walk today so probably no gym.
2/9 157.0 It's a relief to see this number. Even if I'm not going to reach my goal this round, hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to record a loss, so long as I'm careful today. I was sooo hungry last night. OH and DD ordered pizza from a new place in town but I resisted. Instead I had a small bowl of porridge made with left over milk from my daily allowance. It took me slightly over my calories for the day but I wouldn't have been able to sleep without it.

3rd Round
Age 53, 5β5β
Heaviest Weight: 345+ lbs (my highest known weight prior to gastric bypass in Aug 2005)
Weight in Aug 2006: 170 lbs
Weight in March 2022: 220 lbs
Weight beginning this Round: 150.6 lbs
Goal Weight: 145-150 lbs (TBD after consult with bariatric surgeonβs office on Feb 15th)
Thanks to @quiltingjaine for keeping these going! So very helpful!!
This week's daily goals: 5 mins affirmations before work; 10 mins meditation before bedtime. Also, continue to keep the habit of iron/supplements. Using the KISS principal this time aroundβ¦
2/1 β 150.6 lbs, took iron/supplements, missed my 5 mins affirmations, and felt too sleepy to do my meditation. Oops. I didnβt do very well with ANY of the goals I set last round. However, I am going to try to be more positive and point out that in my first round I was able to βkickβ ice-cream sammiches (phewf!) and over the course of two rounds I got really good at remembering to take my iron/supplements. Also, I seem to have lost 7 lbs in 20 days, so GO ME! I will focus on my accomplishments. π Anyway, I think I will change it up with my goals for this round. I will just focus in on 2 things that will be good for my mental health β I have been struggling, and February is never easy for me. In the last round @quiltingjaine wisely pointed out the connection between mood and weight loss. I think this is a very important observation!
2/2 β 150.0 lbs, took iron/supplements, did not do affirmations or meditation. Hmm. I seem to be a bit lax on this, even know I am fully aware that these activities very much do support my mental health. Let me try again tomorrow. As far as weight-loss, I guess I will try to lose another 5 lbs and then see if I can maintain between 145-150 lbs. I just realized that if I can get to 145, that will be a loss of 200 lbs when compared to my weight before weight-loss surgery in 2005. YIKES. I feel like the only way to maintain my loss is to keep logging my calories every day, for the rest of my life. Also, I have been taking Saxenda for quite some time now. I feel like I will have to explore the idea of continuing to take that as long as I can, because most people experience a huge rebound gain when they discontinue. And finally, if I can maintain this weight for at least a year, I will consider the idea of having more plastic surgery, such as my arms and the circumferential body lift. I had an abdominoplasty and breast reduction in 2006 and a thigh reduction in 2007. But according to the plastic surgeon I still have about 10 lbs of excess skin to be removed. I also want a face lift, because I am very vain.
2/3 β 150.2 lbs, no iron, no supplements, no meditation or affirmations. βΉ
2/4 β 150.2 lbs, took iron, took supplements, did my 5 mins of affirmations! βEvery situation gives me an opportunity to learn and grow!β I used the timer on my phone. Said it out loud and wrote it in my notebook a few times. This particular phrase is helpful in thinking about my weight goals but also in thinking about making decisions about next steps regarding my job situation. Letβs hope it sinks in! Neglected to do my meditation, but feeling good that I had at least some success.
2/5 β 150.4 lbs, took iron. Did not take supplements, did not do my affirmations and probably wonβt meditate. Decided to adjust my calories, as my intention was to try to get down to 145 and then see if I can maintain 145-150 lbs. I seem to be stuck around 150 lbs at the moment, so letβs see if adjusting down a bit will help. I have also been eating back 200-300 of my exercise calories, against my better judgement. I will try to tone that down a bit, as well.
2/6 β 150.4 lbs, no iron, no supplements, no meditation, no affirmations. Just not doing well at all. βΉ
2/7 β 150.6 lbs, took iron, but did not take supplements. I did not do affirmations or meditation. I was sooo hungry yesterday. I couldnβt stop eating. I finally got my period, which always makes me tired and hungry. And itβs been so damn cold, I havenβt been walking much. I fell asleep early and then woke up at 10 PM with a raging sore throat. Just what I needed. βΉ
2/8 β 150.8 lbs, Definitely 100% sick. Also, apparently I am at maintenance? I am trying to eat less so I can get down to 145, but I am so damn hungry all the time. Maybe after Iβm done my period Iβll be less hungry and will have more success. But I ate 1450 cals yesterday and walked almost 30K stepsβ¦. How did my weight go up?? No iron, no supplements, no affirmation, no meditation. Sheesh. I guess I suck!

got care free in maintenance and the scale went up one lb at a time. Now Iβm turning it around one lb at a time.
2016- 245lbs
2019- 142lbs

2/6- 186.2
2/7- 186.0
2/8- 183.3
2/9- 185.2 my wild and crazy body! Ate exactly the same two days in a row- calories and timing. Im guessing itβs difference between cardio and strength training. Finding a balance where Iβm lifting enough to gain muscle but also doing enough cardio for heart health, endurance and muscle function without cardio burning muscle.
Iβm feeling good about where Iβm at, slowly averaging back down but still enjoying food.

GIVE ME 10 DAYS β ROUND 213
Round 213
February 1 - 10, 2023
61 year old female, 5β5β. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
My goal for round 213? To make it through these 10 days without regret. I start in Mass trying to pack and getting home and family in order. Leaving for 3 months is more like a move than a vacation. I have to go through every aspect of my life and transport those items to this other home so life there continues on normally. I then have 22 hours of car riding in two days, followed my time in MILβs home, and then a final 4 hour drive. Then it is the unpacking and putting my life in order until I repeat the process going north in 3 months. My husband yesterday asked when will there ever be less stuff be going in the car. My reply was when we start flying instead. :P
So, exercise will not start until I make it to the Keys. But once there, my goal is to work on my exercise habits so that they are re-established and will continue when I get back to Mass in May. As for the road trip, I am planning out my meals and pretracking. I did this in 2021 when I was with you all and it worked great. Trying to decide if I will smuggle my scale in the suitcase or not, or just accept three DWI in a row. At least it would be in the middle of the round. We will find out this weekend, wonβt we? :P

Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two βkidsβ, who are very much adults, and a DGS. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an βall in or notβ person. Selling family home distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment
2/1 β 143.0 Last night, I was crazy hungry later in the evening. Calories had been on target for the day (I aim for 1443 β donβt remember how I set that number way back when). I decided that I was too hungry and made a thoughtful decision to add an 80 calorie parmesan snack, and a fifth of an open candy bar. Brought me up to 1591. I kind of glad that I have had some section of this process without exercise as I am getting to see little hints of where my baseline might be.
2/2 β 142.4 Yesterday was challenging. Spent the day helping my parents at assisted living. Planned on having lunch with them as they keep asking me to join them. Nope, they now skip lunch, and they had a day packed with tasks for which they needed my assistance. One was trip to fidelity to deal with account issues in person. There they have a nice coffee machine and bowl full of candy AND I was very hungry. Well I was unprepared to snap out my trays, so nothing for meβ¦β¦ Got home 3:30 and had some quick food and adjusted my planned dinner and added a little after dinner, to fill in those missing lunch/afternoon calories. It worked!! Iβm pretracked through next Monday which is helping me a lot!
2/3 β 142.6 Just means I am where I am supposed to be.
2/4 β 142.0 road trip Amazing that I dodged stress eating last night. Yesterday was last push of packing and cleaning to leave our home for three months. We lost power late afternoon for an hour. We used the time well, but were strategizing for what we do if power does not come back. Came on just in time to cook dinner. We finish up and head for a relaxing few hours before early bedtime, for todays early rise and journey. A little after 9 pm, we realize the heat never came back on!!!! (right now it is -12 outside not including windchill β logan airport β 9 and -33 with windchill). Panic!! We cannot get it back on. Each phone call to emergency heating services goes to voicemailβ¦β¦β¦. Facebook comes to the rescue. I used facebook messenger figuring that no one would be online. In less than a minute I got a reply. Repairs were crazy last night, but they came. Heat is working, and I am loading the car as I type. I was certainly thinking about chocolate last night. Pre-tracking and the inconvenience of Invisalign kept me in line.
2/5 β road trip, DNW I decided to be logical. That is part of this journey is to live the reality so for me that was not packing the scale into the car and annoying the heck out of my husband. Do I am going to have three days of not weighing, until I get to marathon where I have a sister scale ( I have three matching scales β maine, mass, florida). Stayed true to my pre-tracked foods. Again, Invisalign really stops that impromptu eating. You just canβt or risk dental health.
2/6 β MIL, DNW Continued the road trip, and made great time yesterday. I was very close to keeping with my pre-tracking. MIL made homemade lasagna, which I planned for, but also had meatballs and her mixed meats from her Italian sauce. But I traded my two unplanned meatballs and meat for the peanut butter M&M that I had planned on, but skipped. While I am calling today a DNW, because I donβt have MY scale, I did step on MILβs and it stated 142.2. Should not have an up. I am curious how it will align with mine on 2/8.
2/7 β MIL, DNW Yesterday, tracking went well. Reworked my day as I went on as nothing except breakfast went as planned. Numbers were good, and I was hungry from about 7 pm on, so I have no concern that I overate. I did step on MILβs scale, 142.4. we will see how this corelates with my scale tomorrow. Today is packing the car, driving another 4 hours and then unpacking again.
2/8 β 142.4 OK, so it turns out my MILβs scale is accurate. I am thrilled to know as it will be a scale I can use confidently when we stay with her. My lack of losing any further weight shows that inactivity has a definite impact. Eating and tracking have been good. Today, I am walking with the neighborhood girls. Just two laps (1 hour) because time is tight today.
2/9 β 142.4 what a stubborn number!! Tracking and calories were good, and was under by a few hundred. I just need patience.

2/09 - 162.6 - Is this sodium? Did I not track well enough through the day? Is it a normal fluctuation? We may never know... I just finished bodyweight portion of today. I'm taking a break to drink some water and let it settle on my stomach before I do my cardio sprints on the rower. I'm proud! The bodyweight, once I started, was intense and I jumped right in with hard work. I didn't try to slack or take things slow like I sometimes feel I need to in order to get through to the end. It wasn't easier, I was just more determined. Hoping sprints will be the same. Alright, off to do this cardio and catch up on posts while I cool down and catch my breath! EDIT TO ADD: I finished cardio sprints. Not too bad. I didn't push myself quite as hard on the rest portion. I'm worried I'm developing shin splints in my right leg as I had some achiness on yesterday's walk with the pups and then it flared up again on the rower just now. I spent 10 minutes doing some stretches after rowing and hoping that I can ease it down before my leg puts me down and out!

Previous Day's CommentsSpoiler2/01 - I'm happy with that tiny little drop. I cut it really close on calories yesterday and was honestly worried I'd be up again. Today will be another day which staying in calories will bring a challenge. I've already eaten breakfast since dinner was suuuuuper early and I was beginning to feel nauseous. Yoga this morning, just 15 minute easy morning wakeup practice. Will need to really pay attention to my watch's reminders to get up and move. And then move extra today. Not only to keep warm, but to give myself a little wiggle room in calorie department. Will see if BF wants to make chicken noodle or chicken and dumplings tonight for something cozy.
2/02 - Well, if I keep losing 0.1 at a time, I'll barely miss my goal of 161.x but I'll be a pound lighter than last round's end weight which isn't a bad thing nor would I be upset. Big splurge dinner of chicken and dumplings served in homemade bread bowls. I'm super proud of yet another bread-baking related accomplishment (why must it be on my "only eat sometimes" list again? I love baking it). No clue lunch, as usual or dinner except that I'm in charge, eek. The pup woke me up with his coyote-sounding yawn and was doing a peepee dance at 4am so I'm up an hour earlier than my alarm. In a bit I'm going to start my bodyweight workout and, because of the early start, I can have a small break before the cardio sprinter portion, yippee. I'm not sure how I feel other than I AM looking forward to this being over haha
2/03 - I wasn't expecting that woosh at all! I made homemade beef and cabbage pan fried wontons last night. They weren't that great, but I think part of that is because it was ground beef. I had pork, but unfortunately it went bad before I could make it. Plus seasonings were off and not enough. I have leftover filling and wonton wrappers for lunch today. Got my workout in despite not wanting to get up at all. Woke up mid-dream and that always messes with me. Then BigBro's car wouldn't start, my car was frozen over entirely, and so I had to take him to school. Good thing because in spots where water pools, it was all icy. I almost couldn't make it up the hill home because the water pooled at the bottom left water tracks up the hill which froze. Thankfully I had 4WD and some umph to get me far enough up to get in the grass and get traction. Late start to work and to everything else. Setting up my grocery pickup to be about the same time I pick up BigBro from school so I can knock two things out in one trip since today is grocery day anyway.
2/04 - I was rushing for a puppy that really had to go outside ASAP so I skipped weighing. Probably good for my mental state as I indulged in a little wine last night and that never helps the scale in the morning. Today is an alcohol free day, though. Back to help Fam move the remainder of their stuff into the new house and help get things ready for a garage sale tomorrow. Should be plenty of movement today, will just have to be careful of my food choices. Hope you're all having a good weekend. Will try to check in tomorrow as well, time permitting. Also hoping for a weigh in tomorrow to see where I stand so I can adjust and not have a huge weekend gain.
2/05 - DNP
2/06 - Yesterday was a struggle. The pup had the pukes approximately 4-7am. Then I finally got to fall asleep on the couch only for BF's alarm to go off. I'm still exhausted haha! I'm also so sore from all the heavy lifting this weekend that I can't move a single muscle without cringing in soreness pain. I made the decision to forego my workout this morning. Thinking about it, 2 full days of moving a house is like 2 full days of strength training/lifting weights. And I did a workout Thursday and Friday. My body needs a rest day somewhere! I might skip tomorrow's, too. Just do yoga tomorrow and Wednesday (my scheduled rest day) and resume workouts on Thursday/Friday. They're all moved in so no more heavy lifting that I know of on weekends. One thing I will say: I'm proud of myself for logically thinking about it and not just saying "its Monday, I'm tired, no workout" like I would have previously. I hit snooze on my alarm and used that time to really think things through before making the decision and getting up (I almost went ahead and slept in if it wasn't for the pups realizing I was awake and getting a little crazy).
2/07 - Has anybody seen my brain? It seems to have gone missing and taken my memory with it. I've been so out of it today. Despite waking up a whole half hour earlier than normal, I managed to not finish all my morning journaling until mid morning, I didn't check in here, and I have ZERO memory of the first hour and a half of work. The task is finished, but I have no memory of finishing it. I did, however, get my workout in. Rowing sprints for cardio. And journaling is now caught up. I had a few meetings so while I wait for a response on my next project, I'm finally updating you. I'm a mess, y'all. I pre-logged dinner and I'm cutting it close. Was hoping the weather would hold out for another walk with pups this afternoon but it seems to keep threatening me and then delaying. Maybe that's my problem -- the gloomy dreary weather?! I will still attempt to walk if it looks like I can pull off 25 minutes/1 mile with them without getting soaked. Rest day tomorrow but hopefully I can get my act together a little more and knock out yoga or something.
2/08 - Beautiful storms this morning (I can hear them off in the distance still). I feel so powerful and revived after a good thunderstorm. Not sure why, but I've ALWAYS loved them. I wanted to be a storm chaser when I grew up. Part of me still does. Shh, don't tell. I'm about to finish my coffee and do some yoga while my work computer boots up. I worked late (unpaid) Monday evening for about an hour and a half so being 15-30 minutes late or getting off a few minutes early won't hurt. Nobody from the Kansas City office is usually online until 8-8:30am anyway so it's more my quiet work time and easiest time for me to take comp (evenings are rough since I get off earlier than most people do since I'm on earlier). BF wants chicken bacon ranch stromboli (AKA calorie bomb) tonight so I have to be on my best behavior today! Was hoping to meet goal of 161.x but if I'm not careful with tonight's dinner, I'm not sure I'll make it.

Hi All - Robyn here from SE Virginia. I'll be doing strength workouts only for the most part during this round while continuing to recover from foot surgery. My primary goals are: 1) no after-dinner-snacking; 2) to eat dinner no later than 7:30, and; 3) to lose weight during this round. I've gained during the last two rounds (+1.4 lbs).

I planned and stuck to my meals.

2/08- 201- had to jump in, missed past month of rounds with lots of serious health issues with my 83 year old mother in law and working lots of overtime. Did heavy emotional eating after working late nights and the scale shows. Time to get back on track. Goal is to track calories and no eating past 7pm and No LNS!
2/09-202π₯π I went over calories for lunc and dinner in which I ate a second helping of lunch with lots of pita and hummus and then chick fil a with the kids very late after overtime. I need to really focus on tracking every bite as clearly I would have known that I was over. Goal is to focus on getting back on track with calories.

Hello again friends!! Happy February!! Looking forward to another great 10 days! I'm so glad I found this again last round, I'm already finding it becoming an integral part of my morning routine to sit down and assess what happened yesterday so I can move forward good or bad. I've never been a journaller, this is as close as I get .

Day, Weight, Comment
2/01 - 181.4 - I might end up here for a few days as TOM showed up early yesterday (thank you Peri Menopause for the unpredictable cycle). Still hate the snow and cold...only let the doggo drag me out for a 20 minute walk, the windchill is wicked this week. I need to start motivating myself to do something else on top of a walk when I hate the weather...we have an elliptical and my boys have a small area with weights. I used to do some pretty intense kettle bell work outs 5 plus years ago but stopped when I messed up my shoulder, I should start that back up again as well....sigh....
2/02 - 180.8 - unexpected, felt super bloated all day yesterday. Another cold one yesterday so only a short walk but did a bunch of cleaning so I was moving a good chunk of the day.
2/03 - 180.8 - Glad I got out for good walk yesterday as a polar vortex has hit Ontario...it's flippin -25C out there today (-35 with the wind chill), even the dog won't walk in this!! Made beef stroganoff in the crock pot for dinner last night, had mine over a pile of roasted cauliflower instead of noodles, it was delicious!!
2/04 - 180.0 - Was really hoping to get below 180 this round...looks totally do-able!! Put in 25minutes on the elliptical yesterday because stupid weather, could have done more but I forgot my water bottle upstairs. Didn't get out of the house at all yesterday, it was treacherous, roads closed all over the place around here. DS(17) had some friends over and one of them loves to bake, I managed to leave alone the cookies and red velvet cupcakes he brought, not sure how but I did it...YAY ME!!
2/05 - 180.6 - thought that might happen...went out to a local brewery for dinner and then a hockey game last night...so beers and a higher calorie than normal dinner. I had a light snack instead of lunch to bank some so it wouldn't his as hard as it could have. Got 35 minutes in on the eliptical. Temps have gone up so hopefully getting outside this week will help me get under 180!!
2/06 - 180.6 - ugh...stuck here. Got in a great hike yesterday, finally a reasonable temp and the trails were nicely packed down. Busy day so got lots of steps in on top of the hike. We ate dinner really late, picked up take out on the way home from my son's game. I had a huge cobb salad, probably should have only had half but it was sooo good and I was sooo hungry.
2/07 - 179.8 - Yay!!! Got in a great hike yesterday. Timing of meals after breakfast was really late for me yesterday and I ended up with a very low calorie count for some reason, definitely not one that should be healthy or sustainable. I'll have to watch that and figure out some quick reasonable snacks to have on hand for days when plans and schedule mess up meal times.
2/08 - 178.8 - Not sure I trust this one...DS messed around with my scale, the battery in his died and he has a weigh in for wrestling on Friday so he's monitoring closely...he changed min to kg from lbs and moved it around and I had to change it back this morning...will see if it sticks tomorrow.
2/09 - 179.8 - Might be the scale issue from yesterday? Might be some extra carbs? Might be my body storing water after some weird stomach stuff? I know calories were in deficit so I must trust the process....
2/108 -
RSW - 123.6 lb
RGW - 119.4 lb
2/1 - DNW (travel & debauchery)
2/2 - DNW (same)
2/3 - 123.6 - First I have to confess my sins. I went from 119.4 lb on Monday to 123.6 lb today! Gah. I was out of control for my whole trip, essentially. The drinks were flowing and there was food everywhere. I had late night snacks every night thanks to my lowered inhibitions and having no responsibilities other than sitting in meetings. Phew. I know a lot of this is water but there is probably more than a pound of legit gain I need to get rid of. My goals for the rest of the round are to fast a minimum of 16 hours each day and to move my body for at least 30 minutes each day. Kicking things off with a longer fast today. Planning to make it to dinner time without eating. No need for hugs. I know what I did and what I need to do!
2/4 - 122.0. I did OMAD yesterday plus a 15-minute Peloton ride and 30-minute run. Going to take some discipline to get the travel weight off! I did a 45-minute Peloton ride this morning and have been tracking my food so far today. Weβre attending a birthday party this afternoon but I plan to just have a couple bites of my kidβs cake π
2/5 - 122.0
2/6 - 121.6. Honestly surprised this wasn't higher this morning; it may catch up with me tomorrow. I didn't do very well this weekend. Today should be pretty easy to be disciplined since the kids are back in daycare today. Yesterday afternoon we had a family-wide snack attack. I have trouble resisting snacks when everyone else is having them. Then I had nighttime snacks while my husband ate nothing. Why? Ah well, today is a recovery run on the tread and probably a dog walk. I think I'll throw in some light strength training, too. Happy Monday everyone!
2/7 - 121.4. Okay, my goal of getting back to my pre-travel weight is looking a little distant right now. Maybe I did do substantial damage. Crazy that I did more damage during a short business trip than I did during my family vacation over the holidays. I've really gotten out of the habit of tracking and need to start again. I had a snack attack again last night. My birthday is the last day of the challenge and would really like to reach my goal! Yesterday I walked the dogs, did a 30-minute treadmill jog, and did 20 minutes of power yoga. I kind of hurt my back doing yoga from twisting too deeply, so today I think I'll just walk the dogs. And track! my! food!
2/8 - 121.4 again. I did track yesterday, so I made progress there, but I landed right at what my maintenance calories probably are so it absolutely makes sense that I've stopped losing. Today I'll track again with the intent of having a deficit at the end of the day (aka avoiding chocolate and booze). I'm also due for a Peloton ride and dog walk.
2/9 - 120! Not counting on making my RGW because I'm going out tonight, but I do plan to work out and fast until we go out today if I can make it. DH and I are going to a fancy dinner and concert in town for an early birthday celebration for me. Today commences a series of celebrations, actually! Today is dinner and the concert, tomorrow (actual birthday) is family dinner out in my hometown, and Saturday is skiing! It's a festive time of year here. My youngest is turning 2 next weekend so next challenge round is sure to be a doozy with all the festivities.

Yep, there it is. And itβs ok. This cold weather (14F right now) brings out my inner black bearβI want to eat and sleep! Iβve been doing lots of short training sessions with 12-week-old Booker (he thinks weβre playing) to direct his energy, and I got this cute pic yesterday. I wonder what heβs thinking about!
2/04 - 179
Yikes. But not a surprise or mystery. I baked cookies for DH, ate 4. Ate a (small) bowl of ice cream because I really wanted chocolate. I started out beating myself up this morning, but have decided to give myself a little grace with the very frigid weather. It always makes me crave fat and carbs. The temp is supposed to start rising today and be in the high 30s & 40s tomorrow onward, so Iβll get more exercise, which helps stem the recreational eating. I sometimes think I should just stop obsessing and tracking and simply eat when Iβm really hungry. I think about food all the time, because Iβm always planning my meals, then thinking, oh, I still have 17 calories available, and then eat 400. Anyone else feel like βdietingβ β because however we frame it, thatβs what weβre doing when we count calories, carbs, other macros, sugar, whatever β makes you more focused on food and more inclined to use food for emotional support and βsomething to doβ? Or maybe itβs just me. I am a bit of a weirdo. π Anyway, Iβm looking forward to better weather and more outdoor time. And to getting rid of these few pounds Iβve re-accumulated so I get lose a few more.
2/05 - 177.8
Ok, thatβs better. And the weather is better so Iβm off in a bit to take the pup for a nice long sniff walk. Have a great Sunday, everyone!

Itβs a new week, and Iβm determined to clean up my act. I had one great, no-snack round and then fell apart again. Ridiculous. So todayβs the day, this weekβs the weekβ¦. Happy Monday, all!

@quiltingjaine Thank you so much for doing the just give me 10 days. I did the 213 was doing really good. My biggest problem is I am an emotional eater. We are wintering in AZ from ND staying in an RV park. Yesterday was taking my pup for a walk, she is a little Shorkie I always bring my poop scooping bags with me. Always clean up after her. While walking she stopped to do her business and I was in the process of cleaning it up, took my headphones down because this lady was screaming at me. She told me there is a dog park and your dog keeps *kitten* in the yard, I was shocked and said I am sorry but I always clean it up. She screeched it doesn't matter it still stinks. Then she proceeded to screech that I need to walk down another street. We are parked on the same street as her. This is a park of over 3000 people and everyone has one or 2 dogs.
I came home so upset I could cry I ate everything in site trying to make myself feel better. Now I get on the scale and could cry again. So frustrating that evil lady won twice she intimidated me and then i screwed up all the work I did on this diet was close to goal now up 3lbs. Could just cry. thank you for listening to me.
Do you have any advice or words of wisdom for me. Thank you11 -

02/08 -195.8- (Trend weight 196.5)A good day yesterday except for the exercise which was very low level due to a long hair appointment. I look like a French poodle now from the perm. Full-breed Ha. Ha. I am still up a full pound from my starting weight (lowest scale reading in quite awhile) and not much time to reach goal (any loss at all). Only two more scale readings left. Ugh. Tonight my DD and SIL will be coming to dinner. I am making chicken shish-kebobs. Very low fat, low carb and low calorie. Yum!
02/09 -194.4- (Trend weight 196.3) Yes Yes Yes! Below my starting weight which is my goal! I did great yesterday until about 3:00 in the morning when I hit the candy dish (leftover Christmas chocolates etc still in there which I have had no problem resisting for 2 months now!) It was emotional eating 100% due to something that happened. When I say I gorged myself with it, I mean that I put a handful of it in all at once until I actually coughed and choked on it. But I still managed to swallow it! Of course, glucose is up this morning but scale was good because my exercise level was good and my overall day was on plan, otherwise. However, we all know it may still show up on the scale. I hope not tomorrow on the last weigh-in of the challenge. Iβd like to type round 213 in pink! Iβm just sharing, my friends because you know who you are and you are not alone. Back on track today. DD and grandson will arrive this afternoon and hopefully she will not spend the weekend trying to feed me! Last weekend she brought very very high calorie and high carb soup she made. I promptly put it in the freezer in multiple measured servings. I will be refeeding it to her during times she is hungry and donβt know what she wants! Revenge!

Hi, I'm Charissa, ready to go for Round 213/4.
I love these 10 days at a time rounds! Very doable. Better than a week as you tend to follow the same up and downs per week and it doesn't always show your progress. Also being able to refocus after 10 days is great!

2/1 216.6 (-0.0/-0.0) My body seems to have adjusted to the lack of alcoholπ I did have some wine last night but back on target for today and hopefully the next 10 days. Both Goals met ββ
2/2 215.8 (-0.8/-0.8) After a 3 day stall, the scale is moving again and in the right direction! Today's meals are planned and should see another loss in the morning. Both Goals met ββ
2/3 215.6 (-0.2/-1.0) Better than 0... Water Goal Met β
2/4 216.3 (+0.7/-0.3) Expected but was hoping to not see it...The day was good and I saved my calories for crustless pizza. 2 glasses of wine showed up...I ended up over calories by 300. And now it's the weekend....
2/5 217.8 (+1.5/+1.2) Ooops...The first mistake was not planning dinner for Saturday. At around 4pm, looked around and had nothing prepped for dinner so did a unplanned grocery run....and I was hungry....you know where this is going. All kinds of interesting things ended up in my cart!
2/6 218.2 (+0.4/+1.6) The good news - I enjoyed my weekend. It was a lazy kinda weekend. Sunday was kind of back on track but the damage was already done. And this week kinda has "doomed" written all over it. Tuesday we go out to dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Saturday we go out to finish celebrating my husbands birthday and finally Sunday is superbowl. It will be round 214 by then... One day at a time.
2/7 Mulligan - it will just depress me. Not sure what's going on in my head but it started with a bag of cheetos after lunch. The kind that looks like it should be a serving but when you read the label after you've consumed the bag you see that it was 2.5 servingsπ But, here's why these rounds are so powerful, at least for my mind. I've got dinner tonight then I have 3 days to get at least back to starting weight for this round and then the new round starts and I can forget that this round ever existed!!π I need to at least meet my water goal today!!! Water Goal Met β
2/8 220.3 (+2.1/+3.7) Too bad gaining isn't my goal, as I'd be killing it! :haha: Dinner was fabulous!! I usually skip dessert - but they had a turtle cheesecake that had my name ALL over it. Today is a "normal" day . Alcohol Goal Met β
2/9 219.8 (-.5/+3.2) Back in the right direction but going to need everything in short of a miracle to get back to starting round weight. Oh well...maybe starting weight from round 212?????

02-08 Forgot always do it first thing in morning.
02-09 UP 174.4 I could cry. Had a very upsetting day yesterday and ate everything in site. Some people are so cruel. So the cruel lady won twice she made me cry and sabotage my diet GRRRRR I will show her. That is the trouble when you are an emotional eater. Going to hit it hard today if I can gain in that short time I should be able to lose in that short time. I know I will fall short of my goals because of it. Today going to meet all my goals.

@Kayjay1960
I'm so sorry you had to experience that evil lady, clearly not a fan of animals! Try not to let her poor attitude affect you - I'm guessing something isn't right in her life to be so mean and evil to you. I think you were just in the wrong spot at the wrong time if there are so many other dogs around.
Most dogs don't poop on command and I know my dog actually marks his territory by pooping vs pee so I'm always caring poop bags with me!
Your dog pooped, you cleaned it up. Done - end of story. Don't beat yourself up just because evil lady was having a bad day! Get back on track today~ You got this!!4 -

2/2 143.2# not bad not bad; no exercise at all yesterday and we going into a deep freeze for a few days.
2/3 142.8# weights yesterday. Plan to walk in the mall due to below 0 temps today. Not as good as walking outside but Iβm getting cabin fever.
2/4 143.2# Below freezing temps again today, so itβs another lifting day. The house is pretty cool downstairs so I am hibernating upstairs with books and sewing.
2/5 143.4# Walked at the casino with my sister yesterday since itβs big and pretty open. It was packed and Iβm not someone who likes parting with my money that way. We got a couple of miles in at least.
2/6 142.8# Morning yoga and then got a nice hike outside yesterday. I am not very flexible so working on that.
2/7 142.6# Started a new strength training program yesterday.

HW: 300 pounds (September 2020)
2023 SW: 288.9 (Jan 9, 2023)
Round goals: 64 oz. water and track EVERYTHING
I just saw this today, so I'll go ahead and catch up yesterday's log.
Day/Weight/Comment
2/1: 278.5 - Happy to see the 270s again. Definitely has me motivated to keep going. Struggling with cravings.
2/2: 277.4 - I have no clue how I dropped an entire pound since yesterday. I wanted to eat the world yesterday... but I managed to control it. Munched on some pretzels, but I did log them. Genuinely surprised to see this weight today.
2/3: - 277.2 - Still moving the right direction.... happy to see it. I indulged in the work-provided pizza for lunch yesterday. Then had a scoop of ice cream later in the day. MFP says I still had 500 calories to eat (after it calculated my steps), but I was curious what WW would say. 68 points!! That's like 2 days of eating, but really only about 1500 calories. WW might be out here starving people. CRAZY!
2/4: - 276.4 - good day. Stayed within my calories.
2/5: - 278.9 - yikes. I expected this though. Yesterday was date day. We hiked a new trail, had lunch, and saw Avatar in the theater. While I was within my calories, I ate lots of fried foods and buttered popcorn. Itβll come back off. Hopefully quickly. π
2/6: - 278.8 - I hoped for a bit more of a drastic change, but itβs fineβ¦ as long as I get back down to a loss before this round is over. Ha! Back to work today, so hopefully tomorrowβs weight will reflect better choices.
2/7: - 278.1 - So glad Iβm back to a loss this round. My happy scale app predicts that Iβll be 200lbs in November by losing 2lbs a week. 9 months until ONEderland!?!?! Heck yeah! It made me even more determined to stick to tracking for at least a year and see where Iβm at. Even if Iβm not 200 lbsβ¦ I will be much closer than I am today.
2/8: - 277.9 - Yesterday was a really good eating day. I didnβt think it would take this long to recover from the weekendβ¦ Itβll make me think twice the next time. I could be like 274 by now! I say this, but the superbowl is this weekend. GO CHIIIEEEFFFSSS!!!!! Iβll be stress eating Iβm sure. Ha!
2/9: - 276.9 - Finally! Today I have a snow day, but already managed to get some activity by shoveling the driveway. Hoping to lose another 0.5 by tomorrow to be back at my lowest for this round.
2/10: -
Total round weight loss/gain: -1.6 lbs

Round 213
02/01 - 177.9 - going in the right direction!
02/02 - 176.7 - Nice to see a drop this morning. I finally drank 80oz water! Hit all my goals yesterday. I changed my white flour goal from none to minimum flour of any kind. I haven't been eating white or whole wheat. Now that I've been off sugar/flour for 11 days, I still get amazed at how much your cravings subside if you can just get past the first week. I'm going to allow flour some time for things like adding panko to casseroles, but not planning on adding it any time soon because I have a bad case of eczema, and I think both contribute to my inflammation.
I've also changed my calorie goal to less than 1700, which is probably a little less than maintenance. I'll still shoot for 1200 to 1400, but I've learned that being ultra strict just backfires on me. In the past, if I went over 1200, I would feel like I failed and binge. Now, I finally learned that if you need to go over, then eat something with 100 to 200 calories - it's okay - you'll lose 1/2 a pound instead of a pound. I have no set end-goal except to care enough about myself to get healthy and stop the damage I'm causing from being unhealthy (or from "dieting" in an unhealthy way).
02/03 - 176.7 - Hit all goals again! I'm still struggling to quit adding so much salt. Is it true that once you've cut down, you really don't want as much? I never got that far to know. I tried before to put 1/4 tsp in a baggie and only take from it each day. I'll try again.

02/07 - 178.1 - I thought it would be up more than this. Four days ago, I had one of those moments most everyone (including many on this forum at this very moment ) has had to deal with where everyday life is taking place and all of sudden your world stops with a diagnosis or a phone call about a loved one). I had the same thing in June but it was my medical condition, this time it's my mother-in-law. I won't go in detail but prognosis is dire - very sad - she is the kindest, most selfless and caring person I've ever known.
We've been on the road and got home last night. For goal-tracking above, I've added for days missed, not only because of the circumstances this time, but because I'm 100% done with beating myself up any longer. So, back on track today.
02/08 - 177.5 I didn't track yesterday. I was more tired from the 8 hour drive the day before than I thought I would be. It may be the no sleep, but I just don't handle expressway traffic very well any longer - is it just getting older?
Or, is it that I'm just not use to it any longer. If anyone has been to Maine, you know we don't have a major rush hour issue, to say the least - two lane highway for the most part. And I LOVE it after driving 12 years in Atlanta traffic.
02/09 - 177.4 My weight is holding steady and that's now all I want out of this round. Still haven't tracked, or exercised, or drank enough water. I'm planning on making today a better day.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
