72 yo Oregonian who has lost over 50 lbs three different times. First time with no support. Second time with MFP and the third time with TOP (take off pounds sensibly. On 2/9 I weighed 195 returning from a vacation in New Orleans. A trip to Mexico in November is my motivation to LOOSE. I am a nudist and my skin is comfortable at any weight yet the required swimsuit in Mexico is NOT comfortable.
2/11….AF..192#Had a great calorie count day. Went for a 2 mile walk for the first time in ages. I was shocked when I entered the raw peanuts in a shell in my food diary. WHAT 11 calories each peanut…:( While healthy I was out of control eating them. No alcohol or empty calories.
2/12…AF!!! 191.4Kept my calorie count down from my limit.
Got off my lazy butt and went for a two mile walk. Feeling better about myself. Just got back from 4 days in New Orleans. Had to buy new jeans in a bigger size for the trip…shopping for jeans motivated me. It was an awful experience. 
Watery eyes in the dressing room commonly known as tears...:)
2/13…AF…190#. Usually I wait to the next morning before reporting. Tonight I figure if I report todays it might keep me from eating while watching a movie. Calories are less than allowed. Shopped making good food choices. Just did the produce department. I try to be on a plant base diet so it’s pretty easy to shop.
2/14…188.4. I am isolated in the snow at a resort vacation site I own. I only brought healthy foods so that has helped. The difficult part is portion control. Managing to stay below my allowed calorie count. Plus skipping my nightly adult drink. Day six no empty alcohol calories and managing my food intake on MFP 9 -

This round three goals:
#1 Do not weigh myself.
#2 Strength train or yoga every day, if only for 5 minutes.
#3 No added sugar or processed foods or alcohol.
Wish me luck!
2/11 DNW was easier than expected. I chugged a bunch of water to deter me. Met all three goals today. Pomegranate for dessert. Kombucha instead of alcohol. Mini strength exercises throughout the day.
2/12 DNW Goals met but an intense sugar craving hit late at night. Dates and apricots didn't help. I Googled what causes sugar cravings and it said it could be dehydration or magnesium deficiency. I drank a bunch of magnesium water (Natural Calm) and had some dark chocolate and the craving completely went away. This was really interesting to me and will be a huge calorie saver if it works every time. One more week till the reveal.
2/13 DNW Goals achieved and under maintenance calories means the right kind of weight will come off. It's nice knowing I won't weigh in tomorrow morning so dinner's weight isn't an issue. I feel like I'm closer to re-establishing the habit-laden foundation of maintenance. Six more days till I find out if this works for me as a long term strategy. I've always been a weigh every day person. This is much less stressful for me.
2/14 DNW Goals achieved. Not much to report today except that it marks two full weeks of sticking to goal #3! That has never happened before and since sticking with whole foods is seemingly easy now, I don't want to have any cheat meal like I originally planned. I don't want to mess up my taste buds and I like not craving anything. It's not a battle of wills anymore. No artificial sweeteners and not even a sip of wine. I am a sugar fiend and have always preferred dessert to dinner any day of the week. I should share
that the important exception to my no added sugar rule is dark chocolate. The 95% Lindt bars are a go to treat when I need to nibble on something. Does anyone else notice that buying fancy treats makes you more likely to savor them and eat them in moderation?

Christine from Burlington, Ontario, Canada 😊
4th Round
Age 53, 5’5”
Heaviest Weight: 345+ lbs (my highest known weight prior to gastric bypass in Aug 2005)
Weight in March 2022: 220 lbs
Weight at beginning of my 1st Round: 157.6 lbs
Weight beginning this Round: 150.2 lbs
Goal Weight: 145
This round's daily goals:
1. Under 1300 cals per day - ☹☹☹☹
2. Jogging with dog at least once every day -
☹<3
3. 5 mins daily affirmations - ☹☹☹☹
4. Zero work absences -<3
2/11 – 150.2 lbs - I did my jogging/walking today with the dog which was super fun! I had a great time! I also didn't skip work but today wasn't a work day for me.
However, I neglected to do my affirmations and I didn't stay under 1300 cals as I started to get a really sore stomach before bed and had to eat something to settle my stomach. To start off on a positive note I want to reflect on my successes over the last 3 rounds: Got off the ice-cream sammich habit, started getting closer to my protein and water goals, started taking my iron and supplements regularly, and lost 7.4 lbs. That is pretty frickin amazing. Thanks again, @quiltingjaine! This round I want to focus on getting closer to my goal weight of 145 lbs. I ordered a “running leash” off of Amazon, so I can try jogging with the dog. I have always wanted to run, since I was a kid in the 80s, but I was always too heavy and too afraid of hurting my knees. Now that my weight is lower, I think I can try it, and see how it goes. Bear in mind, my new rescue dog is 72 lbs and very strong, so if he sees a rabbit and I am taken off guard I am going down hard. 😊
2/12 – 149 lbs - Well, I guess I had a premonition about falling on my face (in my notes from yesterday). I ordered a new pair of slip-on shoes off the internet. They were meant specifically for jumping into quickly when I need to take the dog out for a quick pee break. (We live on the 15th floor and sometimes I need to get ready quickly.) I wore them for the first time yesterday, but I found they were too big and were flopping around on my feet. I was out with the dog and all of a sudden SLAM! I tripped somehow (I can’t even blame it on the dog) and I was FLAT on my face. I did real damage to my hands and my right knee, unfortunately. ☹ No jogging for me today. Luckily the dog did not run away when I fell, even though I dropped the leash. And some good Samaritans stopped to help me up. My knee is killing me. AUGH. Edit: I went out and did my jog/walking after all. I can only do a bit anyways, as I am not used to jogging so I have to build up my stamina. It’s pretty fun, though. 😊 And the dog loves it!
2/13 – 150.2 lbs – My knee was too sore to do jogging. I fell again (this time the dog body-checked me into the closet when we were playing). I am getting too old for this. Lol. I was present for work today, even though I was late and having a tonne of anxiety about logging in. So I’m calling it a win. (My attendance has been spectacularly poor lately, due to my mental health.)
2/14 – 149.6 lbs – Am I at maintenance, without knowing it? I can’t seem to eat 1300 cals, which was the plan for this week. I am not sure why I can’t, because when I was in active eating disorder territory I was easily eating less than 1200. I do not feel like my eating disorder is active right now, though, which is a really good thing. (And surprising, to be honest, since my mental health is not great at the moment.) I find I am not being nearly so critical of myself about my eating/exercise, which is fantastic. But it may be because I am too busy being extremely critical about myself regarding my work!! LOL! Oops. I went to work and although I was not the most productive, I tried my best. And that is all I can do.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 213 (my 145th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.
Goal for this round; again 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, I want to avoid them both for the whole 10 days, it’s just 10 days, they will still be there after that!! So that and any loss is my aim. 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 taken 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.End of round 213 – 139.4

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

***************************************
2/9 157.0 (trend 158.1)
2/10 156.8 (trend 158.0)
2/11 154.4 (trend 157.5) That's quite a whoosh! I felt very different yesterday, loads of energy, I couldn't sit still, and I was in a really positive mood. Hopefully this is a taste of things to come and not a blip.
2/12 157.2 (trend 157.4) Oh for goodness sake. I guess I was just really dehydrated yesterday then. Trying desperately to not feel too disheartened. 5 miles walked.
2/13 157.0 (trend 157.4) Well I reacted to my disappointment and frustration yesterday by having a carb binge. Only 150 cals over but most of what I ate consisted of cereal bars, biscuits and breadsticks. Zero exercise, just a trip to the dump to get rid of garden waste. Feeling predictably bloated today.
2/14 157.0 (trend 157.3) 1 hour at the gym doing cardio, rest of the day working on a job application form. I have booked an appointment for Wednesday to get my blood tested for thyroid levels. Calories slightly below as I had no appetite.
2/15 155.2 (trend 157.0) Yay! Very glad to see this drop, and I know it's not down to dehydration this time as I drank at least 4 litres of water yesterday. I changed my usual breakfast from a banana and 100g yoghurt to 2 soft boiled eggs with 125g asparagus tips, I don't know if that made any difference to my digestion.
1 hr cardio at the gym. I really wanted to use the weights machines, but as it's school half term here, there were groups of teenagers everywhere
and it was getting a bit crowded.
I'm aware I need to work on cutting down my salt intake, which is going to be a challenge as I rely on it to add flavour to bland food and it helps me cut down on fat/carbs. I also need to see how I can add more protein to my diet without increasing calories or losing fibre. I'm averaging 37g of protein a day, which is 15g short of the recommended amount. I have a blood test today to check my thyroid levels, hoping this will shed some light on things.
Oh, and I applied for a part time job yesterday, after being out of formal work for over 4 years, eeek!

I’m confident it will all shake out by the end of the round.
I’ve realized that I’m not exactly here for weight loss at the moment but for weight management. Focused on being in maintenance until April.11 -

2/15 - 161.8 - Now, hopefully, to maintain or lose more to stay on track for this round's goal (or surpass the goal which would be amazing but not getting hopes up too much..end of round IS a Monday, my worst weigh in day). My dog, Harley (adult) decided to take a page from the pup's (Smoke) book and eat acorns. So we were up half the night as I monitored her and her retching, puking, etc. She's fine now, it seems, but I'm, once again, lacking sleep. The sleep I did get was super restful as I've been plain exhausted. I've already gotten my meals planned for today and came in just under (50 or so) calories before any exercise calories factored in (or breakfast which I'm hoping to fast through anyway). I just finished my cardio sprints to make tomorrow a rest day. BF will be home sometime tonight after my bedtime. Today I'll input Thursday's planned dinner and figure out what I can munch on for lunch Thursday since it'll be a little more challenging with no workout calories providing a buffer.

Previous Day's Comments2/11 - Very slight jump up. It's a combination of things, I'm sure. Despite my probiotics, I'm sure they are not eliminating all dairy bloat. We had homemade pepperoni pizza last night. My first attempt! We all agreed better (and cheaper) than frozen. But whew, cheese. Always gets me. Also, TMI, didn't really happen yesterday, but on the normal schedule today so all good there. Not sure today's plans other than my workout schedule says to do 15-30 minutes minimum of fun movement activity. I'll either walk the dogs or do a yoga practice before bed depending on what ends up happening today. I have pre-logged what I know of for tomorrow (Galentine's Brunch then Superbowl Party). Despite my plans to make a best-effort, I'm using today as as super healthy day to help balance out what I anticipate as a super not healthy day tomorrow. And if it ends up being somewhat healthy, that much better for me! We are leaving at halftime anyway as BF has to be at the airport by 4-430 Monday morning for a business trip. More on those plans later, but I've planned my path that will be the most likely to provide success. Not sure if I'll have time to check in tomorrow, depends on when I wake up vs when I need to leave to get to brunch on time. I'll be back Monday, though!
2/12 - Oh, a huge drop after what I expected was going to be a tick up or two! Guess the bloat being gone and TMI back on track did the trick like I thought? Yesterday was not as super healthy as I'd like. I did have a nice balanced "brunch" which held me over for the most part until dinner (I had 2 little mandarin oranges for a snack and sweet treat). BF wanted chili cheese dogs for dinner so that's what we had, but I went very light on the cheese. I kept it mindful and luckily had JUST ENOUGH calories in my budget leftover. According to Fitbit, I was 34 calories over while MFP said I was exactly at 0! My activity for the day wasn't "fun" but I felt better: deep cleaned the kitchen. BF woke up so I didn't get to clean out the fridge to wipe that down (maybe while BF is gone and I'm alone in the house during the day Monday-Wednesday. A work call listening activity? Beats sitting at a desk listening). Sweeping and mopping didn't happen though the poor robot vacuum tried its best. 2 dogs with fallen dried leaves, dried grass, and mud? Poor floors have been swept and mopped/scrubbed so much this week alone, I'm surprised there's still a floor left! Here's to hoping I can stick to my pre-planned, pre-logged day and NOT having the usual 2 week long Superbowl "hangover" (and I mean food baby hangover, not alcohol. BF and I both have to drive 45 minutes home!)
2/13 - Definitely bloated. Also sleep issues. BF's alarm went off at 3:40 and he was gone by 4. If my body cooperated, I'd have woken up at 6 to do my workout. Unfortunately I didn't doze off again until about 545 and decided to sleep until 7...but the dogs intervened at 615ish. I'm so cranky and groggy and just bleh. I have a headache like no other (luckily no migraine). I put on workout clothes to remind me I have to do my workout today, either at lunch or after work before a puppy walk. I'm pushing water (though I drank quite a bit of water yesterday, I definitely need more) and I'm going to try to fast until lunch (should be easier with no early morning workout) and pre-plan/log a balanced lunch to immediately start off-setting the Galentine's Day and Superbowl weight gain. I'm simply glad all that's now over. Also, since I'm in charge of dinner, I know what we're having and I can log it first thing. Nice thing about being in charge of dinner!
2/14 - Sweet, Superbowl bloat is mostly banished! I have had an awful morning. I was so so so exhausted when my alarm went off and now I'm battling the beginnings of a migraine from oversleeping. How can I be so tired I literally fall back asleep AS I'm attempting to turn off my alarm and yet feel sick like I always do after I oversleep? Needless to say, no workout. Yet. BF still gone so I can do it without disrupting him during the day. Since BF comes home late Wednesday night (late as in I'm already asleep and I'll be woken up), I'm thinking instead of my super hard workout (bodyweight AND cardio) Thursday morning, I'm going to do that today and just do the cardio sprints Thursday morning. Or maybe cardio sprints tomorrow and use Thursday as the rest day? Definitely doing the hard workout today, though. For today, I need to log and see if it fits, but I have dinner planned and leftovers for lunch.

GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 214
Round 214
February 11 - 20, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
Goal for 214. Make the scale move and leave that stubborn number, 142.4. Diversify my exercise. Become more active on this group. I had been hoping to lose 5 lb/month for Feb, March, April, which would mean making it to 138.4 by Feb 28. Will accomplish what I can, as anything is better than what I have been doing the last year and a half. Habits are changing for the good.
History:Exercise & Supplements
Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, 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 “all in or not” 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!

SW: 142.4
Day/Weight/Comment
2/11 – 141.6 tracked and stayed under, 4.95 mile walk yesterday and FINALLY scale moved…… a bit.
2/12 – 141.4 attended a walk/run first thing (7 am), then spend the day cooking and cleaning for a dinner guest. Planned and pre-tracked my day including doing “dessert for two” for the two men and not myself. Felt like a good host but controlled what I had. I did eat base plus all my exercise calories. But happy with how I handled it. For today, I have sorted out how to face the leftovers, and still be thoughtful. Plan is instead of a large dinner of leftovers, half is going towards lunch, while the other half stays dinner. I get my goodies, still have three meals (instead of starving all day to fit the dinner) and stay on track.
2/13 – 141.2 yesterday, did a long (4 lap) group walk just to keep my muscles moving as the “walk/run” was a definite shock to my leg muscles. They were tender yesterday, and very sore first thing this morning. Today is going to be a food challenge (Key West), but that is good. I need to practice enjoying life while making better choices. It is the only way this works in the long run, and isn’t that our real goal? Pleased to have gone down a little bit, though I am surprised as I can feel fluid retention in my fingers.
2/14 – 142.0 The result of eating ¾ of a 10” white pizza (half at restaurant at lunch, with ¼ as an easy dinner). Did my best to estimate and track, but again, I have all that fluid retention going on in my fingers. Doesn’t feel good. No more entertaining, leftovers, or out-to-eat for at least a few days.
2/15 – 141.0 Handled yesterday well by regrouping. Hubby was off fishing. Had a typical breakfast, but then ran errands that brought me home later than usual, and I ate, and ate, prior to tracking. AFTER, I tracked everything and saw that I ate more than a usual dinner for me. So, I lightened up dinner, and ate separately from my husband. Yay for me!

RE: Her Side effects she replied. “At first I would have a few days where I felt like my sugar dropped for awhile. After that, occasional nausea. It slows gastric emptying, so I wouldn't eat as much and I really only poop 1-2X per week, which is what I normally did, except after eating a lot more food.”

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 over 5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

2/14 ❤️128.0 ❤️Happy Valentine’s Day❤️I started a fast a 1:30 yesterday afternoon, after I ate my Great Greek leftovers. Not sure how long I’ll go. Black coffee and water only. I have to say I am feeling quite proud of myself for making brownies last night and not even licking the rubber scraper. DH was taking them to the PT people this morning. My supplements are not sitting well on my empty stomach.
2/15 126.0. Made it through 2 periods of growling stomach with only water, coffee, and a can of Coke Zero.5 -
Another round friends!!! I'm really enjoying checking in with all of you every morning as part of my motivation routine...so far it's working again (I used these 10 day challenges years ago and should have started back much sooner). Hubby and I have a trip to Mexico booked at the end of March, we missed having the big celebrations we wanted for our 25th anniversary and both of our 50th birthdays over the worst of the pandemic so this will be our make up trip. I'd like to get down below 170 before we go...and then hop back on here when we get back to get down to my ultimate target.

Day, Weight, Comment
2/11 - 178.0 - lighter walk yesterday, saved some calories for dinner as both boys were out and I made risotto with lemon trout and green beans for hubby and I for a nice date dinner. The risotto is a bit of a calorie bomb but worth it every now and then. Stuck to one serving of risotto but had more wine than I should have.
2/12 - 178.0 - Sunshine yesterday (today too!!!) meant head to the woods! The trails are a little janky from the thaws and freezes last week but do-able with spikes on my boots.
2/13 - 180.8 - ????!!!! I'm feeling puffy and "backed up" so must be retaining water for some reason, didn't think I overdid sodium or carbs but who knows...bodies are weird. Had another lovely walk/hike/skate in the woods in the sunshine yesterday and missed the super-bowl as I was at the rink, DS(15) had a game, they won, and he played amazing, only let one in the net (he's a goalie).
2/14 - 179.2 - Back in the right direction! The Mackster was a bit stiff yesterday (sometimes I forget how old he'd getting, we've maybe been overdoing the hikes LOL)....so we did a shorter sidewalk adventure. It was grocery day so got some steps in that way. Our house did not have a good sleep last night, so I'll see how energy goes today.
2/15 - 178.4 - Spent yesterday with hubby - took the dog for a lovely 5km walk along the waterfront in the sunshine despite both of us being super tired, the fresh air helped for sure. I made my famous triple chocolate fudge cookies for my guys for Valentines Day...ended up having a couple with an apple for lunch...not the best choice...then Hubby and I popped over to our local and had a couple of IPAs...also not the best choice. Better choices to come today!!!

02/11 -193.0- (Trend weight 195.7)
02/12 -193.6- (Trend weight 195.5)
02/13 -192.2- (Trend weight 195.2)
02/14 -193.8- (Trend weight 195.0) I actually did okay food-wise during travel, but blew it when I got home later. I felt like it was already too difficult to log restaurant food so it was okay to eat anything I wanted since I wasn’t logging. It doesn’t make as much sense this morning as it did last night! Endocrinologist has agreed to hold off on insulin for a few months. He is going to try to get insurance approval for a different med to replace Trulicity called Moujorna or something like that. It works similar to the Trulicity but is more effective. He doubts the insurance will approve it tho. Plan B is to up the Trulicity to max dose and allow me to continually improve my diet and exercise plan (ball is in my court). If my A1C is better with all the changes, we can avoid insulin for now. If it’s not (and I haven’t done my part) then insulin it is. He wants me to continue to lose weight as it will only help. Apparently it is common & expected to have insulin resistance after 10-15 years of being diabetic. That is when body just won’t respond to the meds anymore and insulin becomes necessary. This is where I am at. However, I am responding and getting better numbers with food choices and weight loss so I’m being given a chance. It’s becoming clear to me as I write this that last night’s horrible food choices was just another self-sabotage. Today will be a good day even though it is Valentine’s Day. I have no major plans so I will eat clean at home.
02/15 -194.0- (Trend weight 194.9) A good day yesterday at home. Weight is a 0.2 smidgen up but that is likely from no TMI and residual from travel two days ago. Boy oh boy, when they say that weight loss is not linear they are not kidding! I looked back over my public mfp posts and records over the past 9 months. It felt like I was up & down on the same pounds the entire time. But I found that my highest weight topped in at 206.8 (let’s call it 207) on June 15th. While it was up and down in the same 2-3 pound range A LOT, overall in the big picture, my scale weight is down about 13 pounds since then. I’m not saying that is a lot for most folks (it is for ME), but I am saying there is more movement and loss than it feels like sometimes. On days like the last two days I just need to hang in there and let the process work and that includes letting the bumps have their moments. By choosing a healthier lifestyle, my body is responding with me and (albeit slowly), I AM INDEED getting closer to goals and I AM INDEED getting healthier. On a day-to-day basis, it just doesn’t always feel like it. Lets just keeping hanging in there folks. There is a pot of gold at the end!

Round 214
02/11 - 178.6
02/12 - DNW - updating now because I'm going to be traveling, leaving around 5am. I don't drink a lot of water when I'm on the road so as not to stop so often. I will be tracking what I eat because I'm taking my own food with me for the day. I'll be at the hospital seeing my MIL, so no exercise, unless you count walking in and out.
02/13 - 180.1
02/14 - 180.0 - All that was in my head this morning when I saw 180 was the Allman Brothers' song "Back to Where it All Begins," which the song lyrics don't even fit, but in my head the lyrics were "Back to Where I Began." The original song (not the one in my head ) is a really good song, the entire album is great actually. Okay, I've digressed - I took food on the road but my downfall was I did not take enough food. By the time we got home, I was emotionally and physically drained and I ate too much of the Chili I made before we left. I'm home for at least the next 4 days, so will work hard at making healthy choices.
02/15 - 177.6 - Okay, better! I had a good day yesterday. I finally drank 80oz of water but need to spread it out through the day and not guzzle it. I rowed. I had 1312 calories. I had lots of vegetables and some fruit.
When I start losing confidence, I look at where many of you started and where you are today, and it is so inspiring, and also everyone's willingness to share their experiences to help others. I'm not a big "participating" social media person, and have only been on a few challenges here, but this is the one that I keep coming back to - thank you everyone and to @quiltingjaine for keeping it going! 💚
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

It’s a sunny Saturday here in ne Indiana. All that bright light after a lot of gloom lifts my spirits, especially since I eat more when it’s gray and cold outside. Have a lovely Saturday, all!
2/12 - 178.6
Boom. But no surprise. I’ve had several days way over calories so my calories average is about 400 over goal. I’m eating even when I’m not hungry. Aaagghhhh. I’ve got to get a grip. I know how to lose weight and very consciously sabotage myself. Why? Well, it’s supposed to warm up today, so I’ll try to get my butt in gear for a long-ish walk with Booker. He’s only 3 months old, so not up to miles and miles yet, but he can still get me out for some exercise. Anyone know any good books or articles on the psychology of overeating? My eating is clearly emotional, not physiological. Sigh.
2/13 - 178.2
Thanks for the reading & podcast recommendations! I’ll look into them. I’m feeling more upbeat today — maybe it’s the sunshine. Off now to see our tax guy, and then buy a new collar for Booker—he’s growing fast! I’m planning a nice long sniff walk with him this afternoon, and a nice healthy food day for me—I had one egg cooked with avocado oil spray + 1 slice of Dave’s Good Seed Thin for breakfast, and planning salad and a small apple for lunch, and boiled shrimp and oven roasted sweet potato (a little olive oil and spices) for dinner. If I’m hungry later, I’ll stick to bouillon. I’ll letcha know if I stick to the plan! I’m hoping that posting it will keep me honest.

Hi all! Starting back with these challenges. I’m a Mom of 2, in my 40s, and just diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Trying to make some healthy changes.

2/11 – 209.6 – It’s a Saturday and the weather is nice, so I headed out work a nice long walk!
2/12 – 210.2 – My weight continues to bounce up and down. It gets somewhat discouraging, but thankfully my “trend weight” continues to move downward. I have to remember that my roller coaster ride is a marathon – a slow journey. I’ll get there. Another walk outside today – tomorrow the forecast is snow.
2/13 – 210.3 – Given that we had a Superbowl spread out last night and I nibbled on it a bit – this doesn’t seem bad. I avoided all the higher sodium items and tried to stay within calories. One trick is to serve items I don’t really care for – like chicken wings, so it’s easy to stay away from them.
2/14 – 209.9 – Happy Valentine’s Y’all! I hope you have a wonderful day. My Valentine’s gift to myself today is yoga.
2/15 – 209.0 – Here’s the little whoosh downward I was waiting for. Yay!

I haven't done this challenge in quite a few years, but decided I need to lose this weight before my 60th birthday in
July. Adding this challenge to my routine to help keep the momentum going. There are a few challenges this week with a Super Bowl party and Valentines, so I thought this would give me an extra layer of accountability.
2/11 193.8 I went out last night. Food choices were good but I had 1 skinny marg and 3 vodka sodas
during the night. I plan on walking 6 miles today and no alcohol.
2/12 192.9 Good! Walked 6.5 miles yesterday and intermittent fasted. Superbowl party today, so let'ssee what happens tomorrow. I will walk before I go, not eat until I get there, and stick with
protiens and veggies. 2 vodka soda limit....
2/13 194.0 Super bowl snacks.....
2/14 192.9 Back dowm but I am going to enjoy a nice Valentine's dinner tonight, so we will see what tomorrow brings.
2/15 193.3 Not as bad as I thought it would be! I had an amazing dinner and a few weeks ahead with no social commitments so ready to get into the 80's.
