10/3 132.6 There's the effect of one day of returning to normal carbs and muscles releasing water from the hike. Eager to see what the next five days shows if I can make it without ice cream. Two pints of blueberries was my late-night snack. Accomplishing the hike this weekend felt like real payoff for all the effort to be healthier. We're already planning our next adventure. As Bridget Jones might say, I still have my wobbly bits so there's more tightening to go before I'm camera ready.

Previous comments:SpoilerI've fallen off the WFPB wagon and need to get back on. Just logging on here again reminds me of all the healthy habits I was able to build with y'all. That feels good, that there's an association with being in this challenge and living my healthiest lifestyle. My weight has been stuck between 130 and 135 for the past few months. I have significantly increased my strength, though, so my body composition is much better than it used to be. But, I want to cut the soft fat and that won't happen if I don't stop late-night snacking/binging on ice cream. I need to get my mindset back to where I had a number of reasons to avoid it, 1) hormone health, 2) I'm lactose intolerant and pretend like I'm not, 3) the dark side of the dairy industry breaks my heart. I'm sure that if I can quit it again my inflammation will go down and I'll look and feel better. Here's hoping I can be strong.

10/2 134.8 the past week I was carb loading for a hiking trip that DH and I enjoyed this weekend. I felt so strong. NSVs: my pack weighed 20 pounds and since I have been slowly increasing my pack weight on practice walks the weight didn't feel too heavy; while climbing a steep incline, I kept being surprised at how good my own legs looked in my shorts, like, "are those MY legs!? Can they really be mine? They're so strong!" Nice thing to focus on instead of how hard it was. Anyway, I expect that by cutting back on carbs back to my usual intake of 150-200 grams per day I'll drop some water weight back to 130 or so. But I like that my maximum carb heavy weight is 135, that's certainly an accomplishment for me. No more dairy will also cause weight loss because ice cream is my only source since I didn't return to the habit of cheese or pizza. I'm not fully vegan anymore but I still view meat as a luxury, i.e., a complement to a dish that is primarily made up of whole grains, vegetables, and legumes, a la Mediterranean Diet. That's probably the #1 best habit I've kept since first joining the 10-dayers. Inspired to see everyone's journeys are still going.9 -

I stuffed “approved foods” in my pie hole all day but managed to stay under calorie with just 4 carbs over. My sodium was too high and I forgot to drink water basically to flush it out so I will work on that today. However, I woke up and am already extra hungry again this morning.

10/03 - 154.4 - Better. I slipped up a small amount but I stayed within MFP calorie goals and drank 92oz of water to help banish some of this water weight. I will do so again today. I'm going to go pre-log breakfast, lunch, and dinner now before I eat anything - I'm trying to fast as long as possible anyway. I'll avoid snacking unless I start feeling awful/sick. I have an apple and a few bananas still I can eat should I get to that point which won't put me off track. Those are my only options off-plan. I walked the dogs this morning and hope to do so again after dinner along with movement every hour through the working day. I'm determined to not repeat last year - I started gaining the last week of September and didn't get control back until mid-January at my highest ever weight! I'd love to be at least halfway between current and goal weight by mid-January instead!

Previous Day's CommentsSpoiler09/29 - I was hoping to see lower but I am very sore in my legs. Quads, glutes, and hamstrings are all quite unhappy this morning. Apparently my stretching yesterday was not sufficient enough to settle them. With that said, I'm likely holding on to water in my muscles and I'm actually lower. Though I'm not sure I'll hit my goal of the 140s by the 9th at this rate. I was right at calorie goal yesterday as I splurged on a little more naan than I'd like. I need to input my recipe and track that versus a general searched naan bread. I'll do that today and see the damage. May give me some insight. I also forgot to take my lactose-focused probiotic with dinner. It's been helping with bloat and digestion so much so why not? I'm supposed to take it up to 4 times a day and I have so many bottles - might as well use them if they help. Today is completely unplanned - I'm out of chicken and orzo soup for lunch and not sure what BF will want to do with dinner now he's home. Planning to stay mindful and keep my goals at the forefront of my mind while eating/drinking through the day.

10/02 - Absolutely awful weigh ins. I'm feeling a lot of TOM-like symptoms including bloating, cramping, tenderness, headaches, etc. I'm hoping it'll all drop off once TOM officially starts in the next couple days taking some of this weigh with it. I'm not at all confident I'll meet my goal of seeing the 140s by my birthday next Monday. I've planned everything meal-wise except dinner Thursday and lunches Saturday and Sunday so I'm feeling pretty okay as long as I can stick to the plan. I'm also running this week which will help a bit with balancing food intake.

10/3-164-Had a great time at my reunion. I knew who everyone was but never talked to som of them during HS. This was our 40th, and we were all so happy to see each other, and just thankful to be there, that we visited until the very end (everyone talking to everyone) and helped to clean up. Instead of waiting 10 years, we think we will get together causally once a year.
DH has started walking before dinner and that is good for me.9 -

Another dull morning here, but at least we’ve had rain, finally, the past few days. I should be able to get a nice walk in between showers, though. We had hotdogs & baked beans for dinner (DH’s request), so I thought I might be up today, but happily not. Happy Friday!
09/30 - 188.4
Yep, there are the hotdogs and beans. Sigh. Yesterday was good, and today is planned. I’m off for a walk in the pea-soup fog.
10/01 - 189.4
What’s wrong with me? I went on a late-night binge and doubled my daytime calories. I don’t know why I sabotage myself like this. I do know I’m sad/depressed since giving up my puppy, and that’s probably part of it lately, but I’ve been doing this for a while now. I just don’t seem to find any joy in things anymore, and having regained so much weight makes it worse. I set goals and then undermine them. Ugh ugh ugh.
10/02 - 188
I got control of myself yesterday. My only snack was a Siggi’s fat free mixed berry skyr, which I ate very slowly and savored.
10/03 - 187.4
I won’t get too cocky yet, but I feel a bit more in control. It’s a gorgeous October morning here so I’m off for a walk along the Maumee River.

10/2 218.2 ~ I started using a different scale (renpho) which normally has me a half to a full pound higher than my previous scale (withings). I don't really care which one is correct as long as I am consisted. I could weigh 3 times within 5 minutes on the withings scale and get a different amount where as I tend to get the same reading on the renpho. Additionally the renpho gives me more measurements.

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.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

9/29 128.0 Breakfast out was cancelled and we will be taking friend to Great Greek today. We finally ate around 3 yesterday afternoon at Jimmy John’s-I love the #9 Unwich! no chips but even ate a yucky WM oatmeal cookie and am under my carb limit of 25g TC
9/30 128.0 Last night a group of people in the neighborhood presented a play. It was entertaining and we also celebrated the 12th anniversary of the Social and Dance Club. Everyone was given a “lunch” bag with a tuna slider, chips, and after the play a small piece of cake. I was strong and ate none of it! YAY ME!
10/1 128.0 Woke up before 4:30 with a headache, tried to get comfortable and go back to sleep but it didn’t work. Finally got up and took my Fosamax and went to sleep in my recliner. Woke a little after 6. Still had h/a so took some headache relief. I’m good now. 😁
10/2 128.5 I realized at 6 last night that I hadn’t been drinking enough water. Had only had one quart instead of my usual 4. Fixing that today!
10/3 128.5 Did better with water but not the usual amount9 -

🍁🍂This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE
I’m a 5’2”, soon to be eligible for Medicare girl from the Pacific Northwest. Took a “break” from weighing and logging over the last few months… always a mistake! Gained back 6 or 7 pounds. Time to get back on track, one jug of water at a time!

10/2. Out of town, girlfriend time so yikes!
10/3. 146.9. Well, that’s a big relief that I didn’t sabotage myself while hanging with some girlfriends. When I got home yesterday afternoon I immediately headed to the gym to get some real movement in. Plus I upped my water intake to help flush out some excess junk. Yay me! Now to keep this trend going!!!

9/29: 157.6 lbs
I am surprised I am the same weight I was at the end of round 230 when I was last involved with these challenges. Between then and now I have had my gallbladder removed after having a number of gallstone attacks. I had to be super restrictive before the operation to prevent an attack. But since the operation it has been a free for all and I need to turn it around. I am hoping that doing this challenge will get me back on track.
9/30: 158.3 lbs
Twas pizza night with guests who bought treats and I didn't care what I ate. It doesn't bode well for maintenance. I wish I knew how to flip that switch in my brain to weight loss mode.
10/1: 158.3 lbs
I am still not in weight loss mode. I think the problem is that I am not all that unhappy with the weight I am at the moment. I would like to get in to a healthy weight range but i don't seem to want it enough to do anything about it. The relief from the gall stone attacks after the op isn't helping either because I can basically eat whatever I want again and I think I am rebelling after having to restrict to try to not get an attack.
10/2: 157.4 lbs
Lots of walking yesterday and I had a big, salty meal dining out. This drop is probably dehydration.

About Me:SpoilerThis is my ninth round and really appreciated having someplace to stay accountable.
Thanks to a medication I'm on for my mental health and an overeating habit, I managed to gain a lot of weight in the last year or so. On July 4, I stepped on the scale for the first time since I started the med (that is known to cause weight gain) and decided enough was enough. I buckled down and started actually recording my food for the first time in over five years and started walking every day. Now I need motivation to keep going. I'm a mom of five and grandma of one 4yo that I babysit during the week when my daughter is working.

9/29 - 242.0 - 2.45 miles (walk) - 3.8 miles (bike) - I'm worn out and sore. Had to babysit my grandson which meant putting off my walk until my husband got home around 12:30pm. So I decided to clean out the fridge which I had not fully done in years (thanks chronic fatigue). It took way longer than I anticipated. When I finished it was 1pm which is when I have lunch. So I ate and charged my phone then went to the HOA clubhouse to use the gym at around 3pm. Did 15 minutes on the bike and 30 minutes on the treadmill then walked home (very slowly). I didn't even bother changing because it was way past time to start dinner (salmon and a bunch of starchy sides). Finally sat down to eat at like 6. Then my husband insisted I take a bath and relax. Got done around 7:45 and went to get a treat for dessert only to find no one put the food away so I did that and cleaned the kitchen for 20 minutes. Sigh. But I was happy to see the scale back down to 242 this morning after it went up again yesterday. Here's hoping that's a good sign.
9/30 - 241.6 - 3.07 miles - Set out to go to the clubhouse today and realized it was actually beautiful out. The clouds had parted and there was sunny, blue sky, but it was only in the mid-50s. Beautiful walking weather so I just did my normal route around the neighborhood because there won't be many more days like this before it starts raining nonstop. I did good with my eating today. Had leftover pork chops and gravy for lunch and leftover salmon for dinner. I did have a small snack of veggie straws in the afternoon (only ate 12 of them which is about 1/3 of a serving). And I had a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich for dessert. After inputting it all in, I had the exact same calories as yesterday. Weird.
10/1 - 241.0 - 4.16 miles - Decided to walk to the grocery store because it was so nice out. Got a few things to make stroganoff for dinner then came back and immediately cooked, ate (and it turned out so good), and then cleaned up the kitchen. Was on my feet from 3 to like 6:30 and was really feeling it. Looks like the rain will be back tomorrow so back to the gym probably.
10/2 - 240.8 - 3.07 miles - I managed to get out for my walk before the rain started today so I did my circuit of the neighborhood. I've been wearing my New Balance shoes because my new Sketchers rub on my heel and have caused a callous and my old Skethers are worn nearly all the way through and have at least one hole in the soul so if I were to step in a puddle the memory foam inside would just absorb it all (I know from experience with a previous pair). The New Balance ones aren't as bad as they were now that I've lost more weight and don't bother me much when I'm using the treadmill, but walking 3 miles in them in less-than-flat terrain has sucked. My feet are sore and my sciatica is acting up really bad tonight. Ugh. But I was down again today. Yeah, it was only .2lbs but it was down! It's progress.
10/3 - 239.4 - 3.05 miles - Got to my walk later than I had planned which worked out because it had been raining pretty hard all morning, but when I left, it was dry and cool. Perfect weather for walking so I did my usual route. I was happy to see the scale below 240 this morning. I wasn't expecting it so it was a nice surprise. But then I had some steak for dinner so might have ruined it. Oh well. It was yummy.

Daily Details:SpoilerFri.29.09:
After my revelation yesterday about certain foods, I ate all of the foods. 🙃 High carb, high sugar, over my calories, and no workout. No excuses, it happened. Today’s a new day to make better choices.
Sat.30.09:
Yesterday was messy (SD is here, has disordered eating tendencies. I'll be eating what they eat for a few days in order to not give her any reason to feel anything negative towards what she's having). That meant a pancake for breakfast, and fast food lunch.
However, my partner did finally mention that I look like I've lost weight. I haven't discussed it with him much, other than after my visits to the dietitian. So he didn't know how much I've lost or anything. I kinda was interested to see how long it would take him to see a difference, considering he's constantly with me. So that felt good.
Going out to riding today and to dinner tonight but I've had a look at the menu and have a plan to fit it in with the rest of the day so I'm not as far over as the past two days, especially with the calories burned riding. I know today's gain is primarily bloating from the fast food yesterday (I never have that much salt), so hopefully I should bounce back easily but with everything considered it may take the scale a few days to reflect it.

Tues.03.10:
Well, it was a tough weekend. I didn’t (or couldn’t) log a lot of things accurately. But, I’m back, and I have a lot to learn from next time a similar situation arises.
Weds.04.10:
Got my walk, workout, and stretching in yesterday. It’s raining here today, so I got in a morning workout, and will do some pilates or other cardio this afternoon if I’m not able to get a walk in. I don’t think I’ll hit my goal for this week, but I’ll be happy if I’m less than where I ended last round.

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 236 (my 166th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, so grateful.
Back from holiday a week now, feeling strong and eager to lose, want to get back under 140 this round.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 taken me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

I had adjusted the time of our lunch eating latter to pre-empt the buffet. Didn’t overindulge & only had one plate (no seconds) also licked loads od decorating salad from the serving plates– 42 calories over, it was eaten later so hoping that and the additional sodium is the cause for the upness. 1.59 ‘dancing’ miles after midnight in ‘credit’ for today!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/29 - (Glasgow) 126.6 again, lots of food opportunities, but keeping breakfast small, and at dinner I ordered two appetizers instead of an entree, and only ate part of the dessert (so far no dessert has wowed me). Up at 5:45 am for another tour day. That is 11:45 to me body, and have not slept well for two days (had slept GREAT the first). Not sure the reason Hope everyone is doing grand.
9/30 - (Inverness) 127.0 more, lots of food. I was selected to “present the Haggis” behind the bagpiper. Haggis is actually quite tasty. My father told me as such, but he also like pickled pigs feet. These pre-set (as in three course) meals are killing me. I am trying to not finish everything served. Today’s lunch was an English Tea, then we did a history walk to a pub. Now I am home briefly before going out to dinner. Sorry I am note reading other posts, but I am proud of myself that so far I have weighed each morning and posted each day.
10/1 - (Inverness) 127.0 Heading down to Edinburgh today. Did double apps as my two courses last night. I totally confused the staff by ordering an app when an entree is covered in the cost.
10/2 - (Edinburgh) 128.0 yup, I could feel the uptick. Today I have more control on food…. I think.
10/3 - (Edinburgh) 127.4 ate semi reasonably compared to previous days, but had the most fabulous ice cream yesterday Whisky tablet ice cream at Buns and Scoop in Edinburgh. Seeing St. Andrews today.
10/4 - (Edinburgh) 127.0 not sure how, but ok with that.

Yesterday was a do-nothing day. Went to a “pool party” visiting with two wonderful friends from work (I retired 1/2019). They are now retired too. Wonderful day! Laid around the pool and visited… I ate very healthy. Water, Egg salad and no dessert. But also, no walking or exercise yesterday - just dead weight. Played bridge-ate 1 sugar cookie and one glass of white wine. Not worth the indulgence. I just did a “quick entry” in MFP +cookie +wine because it was the easiest way…. Today is a new day and a new round! 😎
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
🛑🎢!
———————————
9/30 Yesterday was another do-nothing day re: NO Exercise. I had this urge to get organized. Worked all day in my house/couldn’t stop. Picked up GS from school and we chatted over sugar-free snowballs. Day was over then. Perfect macros, 1237 calories, 5.2k steps, but no movement/workouts yesterday. But…. Tennis and walking today!
It's hard to build new habits. It's hard to create and maintain a healthy diet. It's hard to stay focused & push through days/weeks. It’s hard to stay motivated. And that's if you're “feeling” 100%. If you're not mentally / emotionally feeling well, it's almost impossible.
I don’t know why I chose not to exercise yesterday or not to get my steps in…. I had the time, but I didn’t do it. Not gonna brood about it. But I definitely needed to FEEL organized. I do now and so… will “move” today.
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
🛑🎢!
———————————
10/1 So yesterday I played tennis then walked 5 miles in the afternoon …. 16.8 K steps (7+ miles), 685 move calories, 183 move minutes and ✅ macros. TIRED! 1063 cal by 7:20pm so I had to find another healthy 200 cal somewhere… added a butter bite. 1263! Today, I probably won’t hit my steps/move because we have to travel half the day to take care of a project… But, I think I accomplished enough 9/30 for two days but then again, I did nothing two days previous… 😎
I was very tempted to go with my DH after dinner last night for ice cream from our favorite local shop… I deliberated for 10 min and finally said no - but it was only because I was too tired. Shame on me! Had nothing to do with self-control. 🤣😎 Well, maybe a little! Cause I really think I would’ve indulged if I wasn’t so tired.
One more day and it is scale time again! Let’s go!
NSV: I’m feeling healthy, strong… and positive. Staying “even” sits well. Just putting 1 foot in front of the other and getting it done… staying the course.
Be kind to yourself and most of all keep pushing on. Today I will be grateful ! 🥰
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
🛑🎢!
———————————
10/2 ⚖️ 135.4 Slow moving train.
Managed to get 9.5k steps. 1877 cal. Lots of protein. Burned only 387 exercise cal. 51 ex minutes. Couldn’t get in any groove once we got home from travel. I know I didn’t drink enough water yesterday…. Will increase today.
Emotions in check. NGL the ⚖️ was disappointing…. So will believe in the process and stay positive…. With my intake,macros,and movement, it will get better! Planning an active and grateful day today. Tennis, walking, 🏋️♀️🍀
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
🛑🎢!
———————————
10/3 12.4k steps, 2 1/2 hrs tennis, 1421 cal, burned 1121 exercise calories. I went over calories yesterday because I ate extra protein… Hungry from the days activities… Macros✅
Playing tennis this morning then starting to pack/get organized for our trip. I’m maintaining a very positive can-do attitude. The weather is supposed to be 50 to 70° the entire weekend without a cloud in the sky… Feeling blessed beyond measure
NSV while the scale has not cooperated, I feel like I’ve lost a full size in my clothes… Feeling “clean”. I must keep reminding myself that feeling “clean”, is so much more satisfying than feeling “full”! Feeling disciplined, also feels so much better than feeling doubtful and scattered. Feeling disciplined, provides a mental “confidence” that I am starting to recognize. The battle is won in your mind!
Y’all have a great day!
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
🛑🎢!
———————————
10/4 I suspect a stall is more about a test of resilience, fortitude, and consistency. Everything starts in the mind. Stay focused!
Yesterday my activity plan did not work out… I played tennis in the morning and then I was asked to play in the evening… So I didn’t do my L O N G walk because I didn’t want to over-do it for tennis…. Then evening tennis was canceled! I did not get my steps in… 🙃
587 exercise cal, 75 exercise min, 5.4k steps, consumed 1466 cals, macros✅. I am mainly concerned about my protein and carb macros… As long as I’m under in carbs and close to 100g protein, I am good to go! Today: tennis, steps, packing!
… ⚖️ tomorrow before leaving for the mountains!
10/5 ⚖️ vacation

10/8 will ⚖️when I return and catch up with ⚖️ in R238 on 10/10!

Date/weight/comment
09/29 - 155.6 - Wow, the only thing I can think is I did a lot of moving of furniture, etc. on Tuesday and Wednesday evening. I woke up really sore this morning. I did not eat a lot of salt over the past few days and my calories have stayed between 1100 and 1400 calories for the past 2 weeks. I'll be drinking plenty of water today.
09/30 - 154.1 - This is better, but I'm still not real happy. I'll be tracking everything again this weekend.
10/01 - 153.4 - OK, well I did not eat great last night. My stepdaughter and her husband brought over gourmet grilled cheese, tomato soup, and cookies. I didn't go overboard, but I will probably see a bounce in the next day or two.
10/02 - 153.8 - There is the little bounce. I hope this is it. Water, water, water.
10/03 - 153.6 - I just need to keep my steps, food, and water in focus.
10/04 - 153.2 - I did well yesterday. I plan the same for today.

10/03 -186.2- (Trend weight 188.7) 186 yay! Happy Dancing over here in Northern Michigan. Yesterday was another one of those days that I just couldn’t seem to get full or be satisfied. I stuffed “approved foods” in my pie hole all day but managed to stay under calorie with just 4 carbs over. My sodium was too high and I forgot to drink water basically to flush it out so I will work on that today. However, I woke up and am already extra hungry again this morning. It’s going to be a L…O…N…G day.
10/04 -186.6- (Trend weight 188.5) Finally TMI after 3 days of no action and the scale went up? Go figure! My calories were under, my carbs were under, I got in 32 minutes on the exercise bike using HIIT with it, my water was so-so. The only thing bad was my sleep last night. Just shy of 4 hours of sleep. So many things are in play with weight loss including hormones. I’ll just roll with the punches and let the universe even things out. As Billy Joel sang, “It’s a matter of trust”.

10/4 130.0 The No Ice Cream habit is under construction and on course. I had a slight calorie deficit and normal carbs yesterday so this is still exercise-induced water weight coming off. My stomach looks significantly flatter today. Forgoing the late-night dessert in favor of an early bedtime looks good on me.

Previous comments:SpoilerI've fallen off the WFPB wagon and need to get back on. Just logging on here again reminds me of all the healthy habits I was able to build with y'all. That feels good, that there's an association with being in this challenge and living my healthiest lifestyle. My weight has been stuck between 130 and 135 for the past few months. I have significantly increased my strength, though, so my body composition is much better than it used to be. But, I want to cut the soft fat and that won't happen if I don't stop late-night snacking/binging on ice cream. I need to get my mindset back to where I had a number of reasons to avoid it, 1) hormone health, 2) I'm lactose intolerant and pretend like I'm not, 3) the dark side of the dairy industry breaks my heart. I'm sure that if I can quit it again my inflammation will go down and I'll look and feel better. Here's hoping I can be strong.

10/2 134.8 the past week I was carb loading for a hiking trip that DH and I enjoyed this weekend. I felt so strong. NSVs: my pack weighed 20 pounds and since I have been slowly increasing my pack weight on practice walks the weight didn't feel too heavy; while climbing a steep incline, I kept being surprised at how good my own legs looked in my shorts, like, "are those MY legs!? Can they really be mine? They're so strong!" Nice thing to focus on instead of how hard it was. Anyway, I expect that by cutting back on carbs back to my usual intake of 150-200 grams per day I'll drop some water weight back to 130 or so. But I like that my maximum carb heavy weight is 135, that's certainly an accomplishment for me. No more dairy will also cause weight loss because ice cream is my only source since I didn't return to the habit of cheese or pizza. I'm not fully vegan anymore but I still view meat as a luxury, i.e., a complement to a dish that is primarily made up of whole grains, vegetables, and legumes, a la Mediterranean Diet. That's probably the #1 best habit I've kept since first joining the 10-dayers. Inspired to see everyone's journeys are still going.
10/3 132.6 There's the effect of one day of returning to normal carbs and muscles releasing water from the hike. Eager to see what the next five days shows if I can make it without ice cream. Two pints of blueberries was my late-night snack. Accomplishing the hike this weekend felt like real payoff for all the effort to be healthier. We're already planning our next adventure. As Bridget Jones might say, I still have my wobbly bits so there's more tightening to go before I'm camera ready.[spoiler/]6
