64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 214 (my 146th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.
Goal for this round; again I'm not looking at a specific number, any loss and keeping clear of 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.

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.

@rockinrobyn672 I love group exercise classes! I actually attend some form of structured workout (either at my Y or with my “gang” in the garage) almost everyday. I dunno, I think peer pressure works because I definitely push harder in a group.
I’ve also leaned really good form. It surprises me even in spin which seems so straight forward but I’ve made little corrections to the angle of my foot or my hand position and gotten better results.
Lol and the laughter, the friendships! I guess I just can’t say enough good things about group workouts!!!!
Unless I’m running- hahaha if I’m running it’s solitary.4 -

2/23 - 162.6
2/24 - 161.2 - I'm content to be back down this far as TOM is taking its sweet time coming around and allowing my body to release all this bloat and bleh. I'm only 0.1lbs heavier than I was one week ago today (Friday) and up 0.7lb from last Saturday. Not at all that bad all things considered! Unfortunately the weather turned, no more 80 degrees for awhile! Today's high is in the 50s. Will still try to walk the pups at some point today if life works out. I did walk them yesterday, though! Friends coming into town this weekend. Crawfish boil for the woman's birthday courtesy of her husband. That always gets me up on the scale. They want to go out drinking and partying but BF and I just aren't feeling it and are sure we'll forgo it. Unless he get convinced but I'll be a party-pooper and not drink (one of us has to forgo the drinking for that 45 minute drive home anyway!) Hopefully lots of activity to offset this weekend in general, though. About to do my workout as I just finished my last gulp of coffee while typing this. Off work today so just errands. Need to get taxes submitted as I finally got my investment documents delivered. Ugh I hate having to wait to do taxes until March...Hopefully I can get documents submitted today and be done with it earlier than normal years.

Previous Day's Comments2/21 - Well, I've dropped some of the bloat, while some of this will stick around until TOM starts. Any day now.... I don't feel awful today, either. Fortunately yesterday's hangover feeling didn't last very long. I also ended up getting a good walk with the pups. Today I'm up a half hour earlier. I'm trying a new thing where I'm waking up a half hour earlier to drink coffee before a workout. It's almost like a pre-workout for me and helps me get through my workout better. So far, I like the coffee thing, not so much the wake up thing. It also should make Thursday easier with only a half hour difference in wake-up times versus the full hour difference previously. It's also been in the upper 70s, lower 80s so I spent the last hour and a half of work sitting on my back deck enjoying the weather before the pups and I went for a walk. Goal is to do that again today. It's a bit too hot to open windows in the house this week so I'm very grateful I did it last week when it was a touch cooler. Coffee half gone so time to hit post and catch up reading yours! EDIT: I did the spin bike for cardio sprints and they're complete.
2/22 - I don't know why I didn't post yesterday. Pretty sure I thought I did and actually physically didn't. Oh well. I did my journaling which is good. Yesterday was a mess. I was hungry. Very hungry. All day. Snack monster got me early. No workout (rest day) to make up for it. I did walk the pups after dinner, though. Salt is definitely involved. TOM (which hasn't reared its ugly head yet) is still causing the pre-bloat as usual. I attempted to log everything (lunch we had sitting outside at the cafe by our house so an estimate at best) and was only over by 250, which is about my deficit so hopefully the scale uptick will drop back off quickly. Today I am back on track. There's no trying, I AM. I'm drinking my coffee as I type this out to prepare for my double: bodyweight and cardio sprints. Will check in (likely separate post) to verify for accountability. EDIT: Bodyweight is complete. Taking a breather and to cool down a bit before I start rowing for sprints. That will be a separate post, if I do, as this edit period is about to end.

SW: 148.6 / Gained 2.4 pounds last round
Hi All - Robyn here in SE Virginia. I'm doing strength and Pilates workouts while continuing to recover from foot surgery. I've been going up and down weight-wise the last few rounds. My strategy for this round is to strictly track food and skip the weigh-ins until day 10.

2/24: DNW - Of course the brewery last night was either out or not offering what I had planned from their online menu. I was able to choose a healthy meal for my fallback, but I did have a high calorie hazy IPA and another drink later. This is still better than what I'd normally do.

Hello again 10 dayers!! Back again for consistent tracking and accountability. 35 Days (I think) until we leave for Mexico and I'd like to get to 170 before we go...and then I'll be back to help me get to my goal. Looking forward to following all of your progress as well, it's inspiring!

2/21 - 177.4 - little blip up....not worried. Food was all over the place timing wise yesterday with shuttling kids around and hubby bringing home bbq from the Family Day event at the ski hill he was working at. I only ate 1/3 of the chicken and ribs combo he got for me so there's that, I'll leave the rest for the teenagers.
2/22 - 176.8 - Made sure I saved some calories for pancakes last night, the boys made breakfast for dinner and I try not to deter their initiative to prepare a meal by making my own LOL. Wasn't a super active day, bank meetings, short walk with the doggo, that's it. Hoping to get out for a longer walk in the woods today before we get slammed with another winter storm.
2/23 - 177.4 - Here I go bouncing again...as long as it keeps bouncing downhill.......Got in a nice snowy walk in the woods yesterday just before the crazy weather moved in. We didn't get hit here with the storm as much as south of us has. Have an appointment for DS(17) this morning about his knee so my regular walk will have to wait until later, hopefully the sidewalks will be cleared by then.
2/24 - 177.0 - Did some shoveling and a shorter walk with doggo yesterday. Felt super snacky in the afternoon as I was sitting around figuring out physiotherapy and insurance and taxes...made myself eat a big bowl of strawberries instead of hitting the chip drawer....yay me! Wind chill is -27 this morning...not sure the dog will make it past the corner, never mind me.....elliptical here I come!

Today is “plan ahead for lots of veggies” day. 😊 I’m planning a Mediterranean lunch salad with olives, tuna, feta, and hard-boiled egg. Dinner is leftover chicken Mac & cheese (DH cooked last night!). Trying really hard to make this a “no evening snacks” round—I did it once, I can do it again. Have a great day, all!

Ok, it’s not a no snack round, but maybe I can make 9 out of 10. I found out yesterday that a good friend is in the hospital with problems related to her very excess weight. She has talked for years about needing to clean up her diet due to gout, kidney and gallbladder issues, and probably a hundred excess pounds. She wasn’t all that active before, but she’s become practically immobile since the pandemic began, and now needs a walker. She was decluttering recently and I went to see if I wanted any of the books she was purging. She had every major healthy eating/lose weight book published in the past 20 years. And yet their kitchen counters always have gooey iced baked goods, candy galore, multiple breads, and other things piled up, and candy dishes on every table throughout the house. Granted her DH, also way overweight, does the shopping, but but I doubt he does all the junk-food eating. Anyway, I’m very worried about her and also a bit angry that she has come to this, a good part of it through self-destructive eating. I’m taking it as a big fat (yes, I’ll use the word) wake-up call to stop with the excuses. We don’t have a house filled with goodies, but I do eat too much, especially at night, and I make too many excuses not to get out and exercise. I had a long talk with myself last night and we 😁 decided this has to stop. I don’t have decades left to fool around with this and I want to stay as healthy as possible. No fad diets, just attention to what I eat and how much plus more exercise. Nothing new here, just more resolve. Thanks for letting me let it out. Again.
2/23 - 179.2 🧘🏻💚
Well, phooey. Possible delayed reaction from Mon or Tues. Oh well. It poured all day yesterday with a cold, cold wind, so I didn’t get my walk, but it’s supposed to be a bit better today. I had an egg on Dave’s Good Seed Thin bread, no butter, this morning for a good start to the day—one of my favorite breakfasts. Here’s a new hat I knitted the past couple of days—the colors cheer me up!

Hi, I'm Charissa, ready to go for Round 215/6.
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! Thank you QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!
Round 214 continued to be tough getting back on track. I made it through the weekend without significate damage and did managed to weigh in lower than my start of the round even though I don't think I hit one of my goals. The goals weren't tough, I just didn't focus so same goals in this round and adding one to start some weight training.

2/21 220.0 (+0.6/+0.6) Hoping the remaining trend is downward....Yesterday was my 6 hours marathon meeting day (only once a month). I don't consume my water on these days as I'd like to, as I'd be in the bathroom every hour. Lunch is also brought in (I had a Teriyaki Chicken & Broccoli Bowl from Panera @600 calories. Sunday I made a turkey veggie lasagna and had left overs for dinner. Pasta usually bumps me up and my future goal is to limit pasta to once a month. Alcohol Goal Met ✔
2/22 219.8 (-0.2/+0.4) Meh
2/23 219.8 (-0.0/+0.4)
2/24 219.2 (-0.6/-0.2) Was very frustrated yesterday so I didn't post as it would have been a crazy rant. Today, I'm only simi frustrated but also confused. I know that weight loss is not linear, and it's times like this when I think I should try the once a week weigh in.....yesterday I had an unplanned bagel, chicken breast for lunch and then a filet with salad and au gratin potatoes. I was over on calories, but not as much as I thought. The scale went down.... My frustration yesterday, sent me on a quest to find something different to follow. CICO is ok but I'm just counting calories and not looking at my choices for nutrition. A little planning this weekend and next week will be fruitful (pun intended)

Hi! I’m Amanda in Virginia. 38F, 5'2"
RSW: 118.6
RGW: 118.0
2/21 - traveling - DNW. Yesterday I probably overdid it a bit but it's unlikely I did too much damage. I had an extreme sweets craving at like 9 when I was in bed but didn't go find a vending machine, so I'll call that a small victory. My hotel has a Peloton bike so I did a ride yesterday afternoon and this morning. At my birthday dinner, my stepmom made a huge deal about my weight loss and made it sound like I look emaciated. I really don't (I'm 5'2"), but I decided it's because my clothes are all too big. So I went shopping yesterday and hated every minute of it. I did get a pair of skinny jeans (size 4! first time ever) and one blouse at LOFT. I'm turning into my mom, but I just cannot wear "mom jeans" and crop tops. I don't get it. I live in a college town and I feel like these young women are wearing the most unflattering clothes during the prime of their lives. Okay, off my soap box now. One of my friends directed me to a subscription clothing company called Short Story I'm going to try out - it's specifically for women under 5'4". We'll see!
2/22 - traveling - DNW. My trip got extended by a day due to an issue during the study we're doing. Just hoping we don't have any more issues. I'd planned a treadmill run at the hotel this morning but wasn't feeling up for cardio. I got dressed and almost didn't go at all, but I decided to do 20 minutes of strength training instead. So I'm proud of myself for that choice. What I'm not proud of is that I bought 3 cannolis to share with my friend and her son and she rejected them, so I ended up eating 3 cannolis! Whoops! I ate 1 of those and a cheese omelet from the hotel breakfast bar and plan to skip lunch and try to snag a good salad for dinner.
2/23 - traveling - DNW
2/24 - 121.6 - back to the weight my body seems to love. I'm considering making my official goal weight 120 lbs with a maintenance range of 118-122. I feel good about where I am, and I feel that it's sustainable. I don't think there's a number on the scale at which I won't find something to criticize, so I think it's time to change my mindset. I'd still like to build more muscle in due time.

02/20 …..194.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/21 -192.4- (Trend weight 194.8)
02/22 -191.2- (Trend weight 194.4)
02/23 -191.0- (Trend weight 194.1) A couple of weeks have went by since I last measured. I pulled out the measuring tape last night and found myself 1 inch smaller on the breast, 1 inch smaller on the waist and 1 inch smaller on the hips. So, just like last time, all the measurements are identical to one another. So I am still square. My name is Donna but you can call me Spongebob for short.
02/24 -191.4- (Trend weight 193.8) I was very disappointed with the scale this morning. I immediately studied my food log yesterday and have some ideas. I was 117 calories under my calorie goal and 23 carbs over my carb goal. I did a major shopping immediately after seeing the dietician. I think I am trying to fit those foods into my macros in order to not waste them. My autistic son has severe eating disorders so he will not eat most of them. I just cannot waste! I think maybe I am trying to eat away the foods too quickly. Many of them will keep so I need to spread them out more. I am talking about the higher carb foods. I’m going to tweak my menus for sure. It doesn’t seem like 23 would be a lot over limit, but when I think in terms of percentages, it is over 25% higher than it should have been. Lots of realizations this morning! I know we’ve talked about how weight loss is not linear but it’s always so disappointing. My fasting glucose was 204 (which is still lower than with dietician) but is too high for my goals. I will definitely be tweaking and making the necessary changes. I know what to do and how to do it. The positive is that my trend weight is still going down and my other body measurements are going down too. Happy to see my chubby thighs getting smaller! Dr. Seuss would say “Oh the ups and downs!”.

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.
We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

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.

2/21 – 208.0 – Lost some of the sodium water weight. I’ll tell you – sodium sneaks in sometimes. If I don’t look at the labels carefully, I could get a full day’s worth in one item.
2/22 – 207.2 – I was so lethargic yesterday that I declared it a rest day. I think it’s part of my newly diagnosed hypothyroid condition. My body is letting me know it’s time to adjust meds. This process is normal until I get to the optimum level of medication to normalize my system (which could take months). Follow up blood tests in 2 weeks and med adjustment then. I just have to be gentle on myself until then.
2/23 – 206.7 – This is such a strange week. I’m in a very low energy cycle of my thyroid meds, so I haven’t been exercising. I have been tracking calories though and trying to be compassionate with myself. The scale has been trending down, but I wish I felt better. Soon – the cycle will swing back eventually.
2/24 – 206.5 – Still tired, but still plugging along. Tracking calories because that doesn’t require much physical energy. I may try to get on the elliptical today and a very mellow pace and no resistance just so I can move. I’d take a walk, but there is 8” of snow outside.

Round 215
2/21 - DNW - Okay, here goes. On Sunday, I was making dinner and I just didn't want to weigh everything, figure the per-serving calories, etc. Instead of just ball-parking the calories and still tracking, I decided I was "intentionally" not going to track that day, nor exercise. Okay fine. Except, on Monday, I didn't go right back to tracking, I decided to "intentionally" make cheese crackers, and ate half of them. This morning, instead of throwing them out, I "intentionally" ate the rest. Then, after no sugar for 28 days, I "intentionally" opened a jar of my husband's homemade strawberry jam and "intentionally" ate it with crackers. I don't even really like jam.
So, there it is, 3 days of floundering around. I'm not happy I got off track, but I don't feel like I've totally lost it and will start bingeing. I will feel like I have a hangover tomorrow from the sugar. I didn't weigh today and probably won't weigh for a few more days. My last weight on 2/19 was 177.2. All I ask for this round is to track, exercise, and drink water, and hit 176.X. These rounds really help to stop the downward spirals. I'm glad to be starting a new round. Here's wishing everyone a good round! Cheers! 🍻
2/22 - 178.6 - Glad I weighed so I know where I stand after the last 3 days. Today IS going to be a good day!
2/23 - 178.6 - Much better day yesterday as far as tracking and food consumption. I get the extra boost from shoveling now the next two days - yay!
2/24 - 178.9 - I had hot air popcorn last night with salt. Such a good snack. I just need to lower the amount of salt.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Round 215 (1st) Goal: learn
2/20 trying to meet protien intake without going over cholesterol. 2 oz steak at breakfast with an egg and 3 ozs at dinner with roasted veggies. Was not hungry for lunch but ate junk. No exercise today and didn't meet step goal. Was "off" all day.
2/21 220.0. anybody else feel protien goal is unreachable? Had pork rinds and tuna with mayo for breakfast. Not hungry for lunch. Bibigo pork wontons with corn and cream cheese for dinner. Met water goal, step goal and activity goal on rebounder (2 x 10 mins). Sodium over 53mg due to pork rinds and wontons. Packaged food in moderation going forward.
2/22 219.5 ( -.5) Today is day 23 of rebounder exercising and recommiting to MPF. I have lost 8.5 pounds in this stretch. This 10 day challenge will also be my range for increasing my rebounder intensity. 2 x 10 mins will increase to 3 the next session. The weather here in Florida is creeping into the unbearable stage so outdoor walks will decrease. Pre filled menu is adequate with highest sodium product being 1 cup of cottage cheese. Still under and cholesterol is perfect. Wonderful Wednesday
2/23 218.2 (-1.8). Tonight is leftover wonton night. Still struggling to reach full calories but I am reading articles. Did 3x rebounder but less daily activity. Love my rebounder! I do 4 songs now and that gets me over my ten minute minimum. I average 1700 "steps" per session. No evening walk. Happy to see I reached Fibre goal by having a piece of Ghirardelli dark chocolate lol. Doing Sam's Club run this weekend so will pick up protien shakes. Today I moved fitbit watch another notch. Yay Thursday!
2/24 217.8 (-2.2) 3x rebounder not good. My thighs are very sore, but i did do this mornings session. It was blood donation day. Do this with husband usually but a mobile bus was at his office yesterday so it's a solo date for me today. Added bonus is getting my cholesterol reading without having to see my doctor! Supposed to take it relatively easy after donation so i used the blower to clear half the front yard leaves. They fall in the spring in Florida. That blower gets heavy! Will do evening walk tonight. I have been doing MFP challenge of 9000 steps in 28 days and I am proud to say I have reached minimum 9000! 2 days left then I am going to do the protien challenge. Off to Flagler Beach tomorrow for beach steps and fresh fish.4 -

My goals for this round will be the same as the last round: to not eat my children's leftovers and to eat smaller portions for dinner. I am also very sedentary so I will aim to get my heart rate above 100 bps for at least 22 minutes each day.
Round 215 SW: 167.1 lbs
2/21: 166.2 lbs
My elliptical broke so I am going to struggle to reach my 22 minutes of a heart rate above 100 bps. I need to think of an alternative way to achieve that goal.
2/22: 166.4 lbs
Achieved my goals for the day. I really focused on walking fast yesterday and that was enough to get my heart rate up.
2/23: 166.7 lbs
Achieved my goals for the day.
2/24: 166.7 lbs
Ate within calorie limit and exercised but didn't reach 22 minutes of heart rate above 100. Going to pull apart my elliptical later and see if I can figure out how to fix it.

It's Pancake Day today so I have made banana protein pancakes for breakfast for the week, really tasty and satisfying as they feel a bit naughty but only 130 cals each, 10g protein, 15g carbs.
The recipe in case anyone wants to try them:
Into a blender put
3 ripe bananas
110g rolled oats
110g chocolate protein powder
8 egg whites
4 whole eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
Blend until smooth
Divide batter into 12 equal amounts and cook individually in a non-stick frying pan, flipping to cook both sides until golden. No oil necessary.
Feeling pretty shakey this morning after exercising for 10 days in a row, so I could really do with a recovery day. Think I'll eat a couple of hundred more calories today and try not to do anything too active.
2/22 152.8 (trend 155.2) Had a rest day yesterday. 30 mins walking to the hair dressers and back then stayed at home. I've pulled a muscle in my back, I think from doing lateral pull downs at the gym on Monday. OH tried to give me a massage but he's so bad at it, it was like torture! I found a nifty trick to press the muscle by standing against a wall with a tennis ball trapped against the painful area and using my back to move it around in small circles, it really works!
Job interview tomorrow, eeek!
2/23 152.6 (trend 154.8) Enjoying my new fitness watch but it was a shock to see my body fat percentage which was over 40% and apparently I'm obese. I know these gadgets can be unreliable but still, it was a wake up call! Well 10lbs to go until I'm within a normal weight range so will keep on keeping on. I have decided to up my calories a couple of hundred as I'm worried about losing too much muscle, will try to make it 200 cals of extra protein.
2/24 152.8 (trend 154.6) Yesterday was a good day, I met my food and fitness targets and am feeling a lot stronger and less deprived already after adding 200 extra cals. The job interview went well, fingers crossed I get it.
