About Me:This is my thirteenth round and really appreciate 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. We live in the Pacific Northwest where we're entering the rainy season which makes walking a lot harder, and it's my main form of exercise right now. I do have access to gym equipment at our HOA clubhouse, but I still have to walk there and back (takes about 9 minutes).

11/8 - 220.4 - 3.82 miles - Made pizza tonight. As always, it's a long, arduous project, but so worth it in the end. I made a half pizza for myself with fat free mozzarella and turkey pepperoni. It didn't look very appealing because the cheese didn't really melt well (as expected), but it tasted surprisingly good. I think it was the extra stuff I put in the sauce. I'm stuffed and sore all over. Started cooking at 3:30 and sat down to eat a little before 6pm after cleaning up the kitchen except for where the cut pizzas are (will clean that later). I shouldn't have to cook until Saturday I think. There are a lot of leftovers (besides the pizza). Tomorrow I have a job interview and I'm getting really nervous. I need this job because it's the only place I can get to without a car, but also the thought of going back to work after almost 24 years is terrifying.
11/9 - 220.0 - 2.77 miles (walk) - 4.2 miles (bike) - My job interview went great. Basically the hiring manager said she'd give me the job right there on the spot but then told me to go home, talk with my family (because me working for the first time in almost 24 years is a huge adjustment) and call her in the morning with my decision. I'll be working the seafood counter which is exactly what my last job was in 2000. The hours will hopefully be 1-9:30 with Wed/Thur off (those are days I have to be home to watch my grandson). I'm not exactly thrilled to go back to work after all this time, but I'm focusing on having extra money to spend on things I enjoy. Also, my weight was down despite the pizza last night so I had a really good day. And I got to talk to my middle daughter for a bit. She turned 21 yesterday and is coming in to town tomorrow to visit.

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 241 (my 171st). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, as always, so grateful.
Goals for this round to get into 138s solidly, hopefully lose a pound and keep heart rate under 50 beats a minute, then longer term goal to get back to 135 in time for Christmas (less than 7 weeks!).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!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

11/07 139.2 – wouldn’t you just know that the last day the scale goes up!! Oh well it is what it is, had a good day yesterday; 13.6 miles walked yesterday, no exercise calories eaten back. Maybe I should include my trend weight (139.6) and see how that progresses. I feel that I am now solidly below 140, my resting heart rate has finally dropped to below 150 to 149 beats per minute & I do feel more in control (although when I’ve said this in the past then invariably that day I’ve started to self-sabotage, this time I intend to stand firm!!) I do feel I have met my goals for this round, roll on the new one!

11/8 138.6 – and back down! No structured walking yesterday as it was raining in the morning, so I was unable to walk to my seasonal part-time job (exam. Invigilator at local school) and later met sisters for lunch, but made sensible choices, 200 calories over.
11/9 138.6 - 9 miles walked yesterday, all but 28 exercise calories eaten back - I was hungry all day!!
11/10 138.6 – no structured walking hence 100 calories over – childminding little DGS.

11/09 - 149.9 - I know it will jump back up tomorrow, but it's been months since I've seen the 140's...woohoo!
11/10 - 149.4 - I was not expecting this. This is a great start to the weekend and will give me incentive to stay within my plan. I also started working at my new employer this week and decided to transition to part time after almost 40 years of full time work. This means 4 day weekends which is when I have trouble staying on track, but I will figure out a way to make it work.

11/08 - 190.2
Ok, new round, and I’m really aiming to clean up my act. I know I’ve said that round after round and just haven’t gotten it together. I’m up 12 pounds from the beginning of the year when I wanted to go 20 pounds the other way. I am trying not to beat myself up over it, but I have to figure out why I’ve been self-sabotaging, not just in terms of weight but other things as well. I’ve never been like this. But I’m going to try really hard this round to get back to eating responsibly and writing every day. Really. Really really. (Anyone have any reading recommendations on self-sabotage?)
11/09 - 189.6
Right direction, if embarrassingly high. I’m off in a few minutes to pick up ingredients for a big pot of vegetable soup so I can freeze “soup muffins” for low-cal lunches. DH is making fettuccine with clam sauce tonight, so I’m having a salad for lunch. It’s gorgeous out, so I see a nice long walk in my day. Oh, and I knitted Charlie a sweater. 😊

ST 🏋️♀️is my #1
Develop a more reliable routine & a plan B. Calendar “me” in advance.
Also, I’m going to address the emotional 🎢 rollercoaster again by ⚖️ every-other day. Rationally, I know I’ll fluctuate but I need to find out if I was truly over it or just avoiding. Facing that fear.
Let’s GO! 💪🏻🙌🏻

Unusual day yesterday. Played Tennis then stopped in traffic for 4 1/2 hours. Too late to walk extra steps. Experienced the WORST EVER calf cramping last night. ⬆️ magnesium/potassium today. Simply a no good, very bad, horrible day! 😂 Will travel again today, so not sure how much I can accomplish, but I’ll drink PLENTY 💧 and eat healthy. Will walk and ST🏋️♀️ before 9AM. Looking forward: Friday is scheduled to be a big movement/ stretch day! (On my ME calendar!) Going out with the girls this evening. I’ve already decided what I’ll enjoy - Ceviche and/or grilled shrimp. Rain ahead for wknd & all next week.
Let’s GO! 💪🏻🙌🏻
——————————
11/10 ⚖️🏋️♀️ 131.4
When I woke up this morning, I decided to weigh myself because I felt “light”. Strange. Maybe cause I’ve been extra diligent. So here’s a fluctuation ⬇️ the other way. Glad that my emotions are in check both ways… Must take the good with the bad… This is an emotional 🎢 win.
So perhaps my body fluctuates between a half a pound and a pound each day… I’m good 💯as long as I know I’m focused/committed to the process and making healthy choices.
🏋️♀️I did 35+ minutes of upper body and core yesterday. Sore this morn… Not a bad sore, but a good sore… Waking up muscles that need activating.
🚫steps. 4K BAD vs goal. Again, in the car most of the day and then went out with the girls last night. I had planned my walk for the morning after strength training, but ran out of time before hopping in the car.
Last Night: Ceviche was delicious and I had one tequila w/ fresh lime juice. Win!
Biggest NSV?! Said NO to chips and salsa! Wow, what willpower!
ZIP, ZERO, NADA!!!!
NSV: Remember: Loving myself with healthy choices > momentary Tastebud satisfaction! (This feeling is so much better than regret or guilt! I literally would’ve eaten the ENTIRE bowl of chips+++ and salsa because I know for a fact I cannot eat just one.)
✅ 1299 cal, 47 ex min, 🔥276 ex cal, 🚫Macros (carbs were 7% over). Protein also over but that’s a win.
Rain in our area for the next week… Today it should be scattered/light so will squeeze in steps this morn and 🏋️♀️ lower body and core. Feeling positive and grateful. Day is well-planned.
Let’s GO! 💪🏻🙌🏻

Day/Weight/Comment
11/07 …..183.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/08 -182.6- (Trend weight 184.1)
11/09 -183.2- (Trend weight 184.0) Gosh I was so hungry all day yesterday and last night (very late, 2:00 AM) it hit me hard. I tried a handful of nuts but this time it didn’t help. I finally broke down and made a turkey sandwich on “diet” low carb/calorie bread without the mayo and that took care of it but caused me to eat back some of my exercise calories which I try not to do. Early weigh-in this morning so it showed up on the scale. I am traveling for an overnight on Friday/Saturday down to Kalamazoo Michigan for a Lewis Black comedy show with my oldest daughter. There will be lots of travel & show sitting, hotel and restaurant foods and no real chance to exercise. I will post Friday morn before I go and again on Saturday night when I return. I will not have weights for Sat and may skip it on Sun too for a buffer day. Thank you so much to all that sent condolences on the loss of my beautiful cat Harriet. I found comfort in your words and thoughtful insights.
11/10 -183.0- (Trend weight 183.9) I got my grandson off the school bus yesterday and he stayed the night last night. I got him back on the bus this morning. Now I am prepping to leave for my trip this morning. The trip is about 5 hours each way. It’s exciting to get away from this rural little town to a big city I’ve never been to before to see the comedy show with Lewis Black. While I’m not going to count every calorie and every carb for the next two days, I do hope a few new good habits I’ve acquired will kick in. In any case, I will make whatever adjustments I need to make when I get home to mitigate any damage. At least THAT is a new habit that I use in practice and not just in theory. See you all Saturday evening!

@deepwoodslady I’m so sorry about your cat. It’s never easy to say farewell, but I’ve found they’re never really gone as long as they’re in our hearts.4

I'm 30F and committed to wondering less about the scale and wondering instead about how great it's going to be when my daily healthy practices are so normal that it would be weird not to do them, even on vacations or holidays. It has been nice so far.
My original goal pants are within reach and I hope to be able to post a picture of a before and after with them this round or next.
My strategy has been: All home cooked foods and no added fats or sugar or alcohol. Potatoes and legumes make up most of my caloric base. More vegetables and less meat. Logging 1500-1800 calories a day with Saturday and/or Sunday as refeed day(s) where I have maximum 2500 calories if I'm feeling like I need it. ST as much as I can and walking as much as I can.
11/8 macros ✔️ ST ✔️
11/9 out of whack yesterday and today catching up. Tomorrow will be better.
11/10 two bad days in a row but I didn't throw in the towel or embrace self sabotage so more like 1.5 bad days. Here's to a full day of good choices and doing the hard things.

11/8: 138.3
11/9: 139.8. Not too happy about this, but I know I did everything right yesterday. I ate well, stayed within my calorie goal, went for a morning walk and a run at night. So I'm just going to chalk it up to daily fluctuations. I was slightly higher on carbs yesterday and I'm a bit sore from increasing my runs recently, so it's likely I'm retaining some extra water.
11/10: 139.8. Another good day, as far as eating and activity goes. Did a 4 miles run at night, as well as a long walk in the morning. Calories were within goal. So I'm happy with what I'm doing. I'm just not too happy with the results, or lack there of. I know I'm being impatient. There may be some pms retention at play as well. But it's frustrating to be trying so hard and seeing so little results. Especially since I have seen results before doing exactly what I'm doing now. I'm hoping for the magical swoosh that comes along sometimes, making up for the lack of previous progress.

Good day yesterday and a good day today too. Having this board is really helping me to stay accountable to myself. My weight jumped down this morning. Not a clue why this jumped down so far. But guessing it’s water related and expecting a small increase tomorrow.

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

11/8 128.0 Edit - we went to Walmart around 8AM. Mail appt in the PM, HOA Board of Directors meeting in the evening.
11/9 128.5 DH was elected president of the board. This is going to be a rough year. After at least a year of “us vs them” his goal is to turn it back into the friendly community it was a couple of years ago and to rein in the crazy spending of the past board, most recently $18K for 12 chairs! All hugs and prayers are appreciated.

11/8: 269.2 this morning! I am hoping this puts me firmly in the 260's. Woke up this morning to news that we are going to need home repairs - kind of stressing. However, I am looking forward to baking these acorn squash--If imma be stress eating it will at least be some high fiber vitamin packed healthy business 😄
11/9: 269.2. Soooo busy. Not a minute of downtime. The kid requested an orange basque cheesecake for birthday time, so that was a fun challenge. I've never made one before so i am so curious to see how it turns out. I get to be a sneaky sneak and wrap the presents in the morning while everybody is asleep 🥷 We've also got the party coming up on Saturday and all of the kids will probably not eat the cheesecake, so I'm making cupcakes tomorrow after dinner.
11/10: Young'un's birthday 🥳🎂 269. Laughs, wings, cheesecake, and presents. The cheesecake turned out great! And the perfect size to have a small piece but not have leftovers hanging around for several days (NSV right there). I might try to figure out how to do that with pumpkin for Thanksgiving. Good day today.

Jen; 46; 5'4"
About Me:This is my thirteenth round and really appreciate 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. We live in the Pacific Northwest where we're entering the rainy season which makes walking a lot harder, and it's my main form of exercise right now. I do have access to gym equipment at our HOA clubhouse, but I still have to walk there and back (takes about 9 minutes

11/8 - 220.4 - 3.82 miles - Made pizza tonight. As always, it's a long, arduous project, but so worth it in the end. I made a half pizza for myself with fat free mozzarella and turkey pepperoni. It didn't look very appealing because the cheese didn't really melt well (as expected), but it tasted surprisingly good. I think it was the extra stuff I put in the sauce. I'm stuffed and sore all over. Started cooking at 3:30 and sat down to eat a little before 6pm after cleaning up the kitchen except for where the cut pizzas are (will clean that later). I shouldn't have to cook until Saturday I think. There are a lot of leftovers (besides the pizza). Tomorrow I have a job interview and I'm getting really nervous. I need this job because it's the only place I can get to without a car, but also the thought of going back to work after almost 24 years is terrifying.
11/9 - 220.0 - 2.77 miles (walk) - 4.2 miles (bike) - My job interview went great. Basically the hiring manager said she'd give me the job right there on the spot but then told me to go home, talk with my family (because me working for the first time in almost 24 years is a huge adjustment) and call her in the morning with my decision. I'll be working the seafood counter which is exactly what my last job was in 2000. The hours will hopefully be 1-9:30 with Wed/Thur off (those are days I have to be home to watch my grandson). I'm not exactly thrilled to go back to work after all this time, but I'm focusing on having extra money to spend on things I enjoy. Also, my weight was down despite the pizza last night so I had a really good day. And I got to talk to my middle daughter for a bit. She turned 21 yesterday and is coming in to town tomorrow to visit.
11/10 - 219.4 - 4.07 miles - Went to Costco to restock the freezers. We had done a full refill in a long time so we were out of just about everything. Tomorrow, we need to go to Walmart for the rest of the stuff, I have to go into my new job to fill out paperwork at 12:30. Not sure how long that will last. I also need to get some pants that fit because I have 1 pair of jeans and 1 pair of khakis that currently fit. And the jeans are starting to slide off of me so I'm constantly pulling them up. Pretty much nothing else in my drawer fits unless it has drawstrings to tighten the waists.

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 241 (my 171st). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, as always, so grateful.
Goals for this round to get into 138s solidly, hopefully lose a pound and keep heart rate under 50 beats a minute, then longer term goal to get back to 135 in time for Christmas (less than 7 weeks!).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!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

SW RND 241
11/8 138.6 – and back down! No structured walking yesterday as it was raining in the morning, so I was unable to walk to my seasonal part-time job (exam. Invigilator at local school) and later met sisters for lunch, but made sensible choices, 200 calories over.
11/9 138.6 - 9 miles walked yesterday, all but 28 exercise calories eaten back - I was hungry all day!!
11/10 138.6 – no structured walking hence 100 calories over – childminding little DGS.
11/11 138 – 10.33 miles walked, the last two were “dancing” miles! 70% exercise calories eaten back.

ST 🏋️♀️is my #1
Develop a more reliable routine & a plan B. Calendar “me” in advance.
Also, I’m going to address the emotional 🎢 rollercoaster again by ⚖️ every-other day. Rationally, I know I’ll fluctuate but I need to find out if I was truly over it or just avoiding. Facing that fear.
Let’s GO! 💪🏻🙌🏻

Ok emotions ✅!

Unusual day yesterday. Played Tennis then stopped in traffic for 4 1/2 hours. Too late to walk extra steps. Experienced the WORST EVER calf cramping last night. ⬆️ magnesium/potassium today. Simply a no good, very bad, horrible day! 😂 Will travel again today, so not sure how much I can accomplish, but I’ll drink PLENTY 💧 and eat healthy. Will walk and ST🏋️♀️ before 9AM. Looking forward: Friday is scheduled to be a big movement/ stretch day! (On my ME calendar!) Going out with the girls this evening. I’ve already decided what I’ll enjoy - Ceviche and/or grilled shrimp. Rain ahead for wknd & all next week.
Let’s GO! 💪🏻🙌🏻

11/10 ⚖️🏋️♀️ 131.4
When I woke up this morning, I decided to weigh myself because I felt “light”. Strange. Maybe cause I’ve been extra diligent. So here’s a fluctuation ⬇️ the other way. Glad that my emotions are in check both ways… Must take the good with the bad… This is an emotional 🎢 win.
So perhaps my body fluctuates between a half a pound and a pound each day… I’m good 💯as long as I know I’m focused/committed to the process and making healthy choices.
🏋️♀️I did 35+ minutes of upper body and core yesterday. Sore this morn… Not a bad sore, but a good sore… Waking up muscles that need activating.
🚫steps. 4K BAD vs goal. Again, in the car most of the day and then went out with the girls last night. I had planned my walk for the morning after strength training, but ran out of time before hopping in the car.
Last Night: Ceviche was delicious and I had one tequila w/ fresh lime juice. Win!
Biggest NSV?! Said NO to chips and salsa! Wow, what willpower!
ZIP, ZERO, NADA!!!!
NSV: Remember: Loving myself with healthy choices > momentary Tastebud satisfaction! (This feeling is so much better than regret or guilt! I literally would’ve eaten the ENTIRE bowl of chips+++ and salsa because I know for a fact I cannot eat just one.)
✅ 1299 cal, 47 ex min, 🔥276 ex cal, 🚫Macros (carbs were 7% over). Protein also over but that’s a win.
Rain in our area for the next week… Today it should be scattered/light so will squeeze in steps this morn and 🏋️♀️ lower body and core. Feeling positive and grateful. Day is well-planned.
Let’s GO! 💪🏻🙌🏻

Yesterday: 11.2k steps, 1233 cal, 67 ex min, 567 cal🔥, ✅macros, 15 min🏋️♀️
Yesterday: Walked, jogged, AND skipped -total distance 4 miles, in 55 min. Not too shabby. Skipping is HARD! This was an enjoyable spontaneous sweat.
I looked at my heart rate and only 30 minutes in zones two and three (fat burning). The rest was in 4&5 (Aerobic and anaerobic). Next extended walk needs to stay longer in zones 2&3 to burn fat.
One of my fitness goals is to improve agility / balance and yes, speed on the tennis court. While “aging”, Im not quite ready to play “old lady” tennis - I want to maintain my current ability but improve stamina, agility and speed. (While I can!).
Today: If weather permits, Tennis? And/or Long walk in heart rate zones 2 & 3; ST🏋️♀️.
Let’s GO! 💪🏻🙌🏻

Goals for this challenge: create a habit of logging food and water daily in order to become more mindful of my eating and to relearn healthy eating habits. Mostly plant based eating for me. I'll add exercise to the next round. I just want to focus on getting the food right this time.
I'll comment as to whether I logged the day before since I weigh first thing in the morning. I came a couple days late to the challenge which is why the first 2 days have an X.
This is my first round ever, my first MFP challenge ever. I just started using the app again a few days ago.
