3/6: and the pattern remains steady, which is good. The first March birthday weekend didn't derail me, 3 more to go. I feel like I'm playing a game of accountability through the "Candyland" of family parties- need the slide to get me past Gumdrop Mountain...8 -

This is my posting format….
Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed.
/ Logged Food - yesterday; Exercise – yesterday / Comment
Previous posts:Spoiler
2/26: 227.2
/logged all of it; took a walk, did some yard work (in February!)/
As a matter of tradition, an uptick on the first day.
2/27: 225.6
/logged; exercised/
2/28: 228
/logged; but no workout/
228 on 2/28! Let’s hope this is not a reoccurring phenomenon for the rest of the year. Ha! I will need an all-new wardrobe by Friday.
Yesterday was a sedentary day of meetings. We capped it off with a visit to Logan’s Roadhouse to spend a gift card (of all reasons.)
We have somehow collected too many unspent gift cards. I think retailers like gift card sales for this reason. Actually I don’t know how gift cards are handled in their books so I shouldn’t jump to conclusions. I do know this; someone paid Logan’s $25 for a gift card years ago (pre-covid) and they got to hold the cash until I bought a meal last night. They have also discontinued the practice of serving free peanuts in the shell, so that was a benefit for them …and me.
By the way, they were short staff like so many other businesses these days.
2/29: 226.4
/food logged; body exercised; under watered/
NSV today. Even though the scale is not making drastic moves, I can sense changes starting in my body because of the diet and exercise improvements in these last couple rounds. Just think of the NSV’s if I should happen to “buckle down.”
Remember my gift card story at Logan’s? Well, yesterday I couldn’t find my credit card! Yes I left it at Logan’s. My brain is short staff.
3/1: 224.4
/logged food; hand weights; 43 oz water/
So goes the back-and-forth argument my body has with the scale each day. It will be up again tomorrow.
Have a good March everyone. Another day closer to warm weather.
Speaking of dreams, I dreamt I had washboard abs. HAAAA! My dreams are usually like a Salvador Dali painting (google it), so there is no context to go along with it. Probably subliminal residue of an internet advertisement. It was nice while it lasted.
3/2: 227.8
/logged; functional exercise and movement; poor water intake/
My functional exercise yesterday was helping DM to get ready for moving day today into a smaller apartment. The move today will be my exercise.
Last night was a monthly meeting of a few people who all used to work for the same company. Not all worked there at the same time, but we have a common bond. And the company no longer exists. I would call it an alumni association. All that to say I had a Reuben sandwich and fries washed down with a couple pints of Guinness. A festival of salt with not much water yesterday to wash it away.
The place we met at this month fancies itself an “English Pub.” It was started by an Englishman 20 years ago or so and does a decent job with décor and menu, though I have never actually been to England. (Some Day) It is located in a strip mall so there is a lot of Illinois involved here, and perhaps it is too well lit based on my impressions made by UK television shows (like Endeavour.) The pub caters to the soccer-loving crowd (not me) so there is usually a game on, even if it is prerecorded. They open off hours for a lot of live matches in Europe and of course the World Cup. Cheers @musicsax !
3/3: 226.2
/logged; functional exercise; not enough water/
A lot of steps (for me,) and a lot of lifting furniture. Mom’s move is done….mostly. A few pictures to hang.
Food yesterday was mostly clean except for the cinnamon coffee cake I bought for my fellow family member movers to nosh on.
3/4: 226.2
/yes, logged food but poorly; very little exercise; 50 oz. water/
It amazes me that my weight held steady for two days in a row.
Eating was poor and exercise amounted to going over to the park with DS and DGS to do a little spring training with my sports-challenged DGS. 😊 He makes up for it by being cute.
3/5: 224.4
/food logged; group fitness; 70 oz. H2O/
It is hard to get excited about scale readings when they bounce as much as mine. I can gain AND loose the weight of a small dog within a ten day period (sometimes one day.)
Anyway, my question of the morning is, “who let the dogs out?” Enjoy your earworm. 😊
2/25: 226.4
Starting weight on day before this round.
3/6: 224.4
/food logged; body exercised; water 66 oz./
OK we have something to be happy about. My fluctuating scale readings ended this round with a happy number that represents an actual 2# loss. The ten-day average dropped 1.3#. The ten-day average is my favored stat. It has been steadily climbing over the past few rounds. I am not giddy about this, just optimistic about the future. A lot of work to do.
See you next round.

64-year old female--Hi, I'm Tami and I'm a sugar addict.
Goal this round is just to get back in the groove and start rebuilding better habits.
3/3: 191.2----got in a good walk with hubby yesterday and we have both committed to eating more healthy. It's a start!
3/4: 188.2--I knew a little vacation (and airplane) weight would drop quickly, but I'm sure happy about this! That's probably about what I weighed before I left for vaca. Started a couple new things yesterday morning: started a 28-day chair yoga program early to stretch out, then an indoor walking program, starting slow. In the beautiful afternoon, hubby and I bought healthy groceries for planned evening meals for the week, then walked at the park for an hour. I'm so glad it's feeling like spring here and the time changes next weekend. I go get my Dad from my brother this morning, so the real tests begin today.
3/5: 188.0--Snuck in a 25-minute hike in the mountains on the way to NC to get Dad. Did the yoga, Day 2 and indoor walk before leaving, then walked in the neighborhood and played at the park with the grandbabies. Feels good!
3/6: 187.6--Looking for ways to do extra walking, I decided to get to the pick up line a little early and squeeze in a walk before the rains came. Left my car and walked around the parking lot. Other parents/grandparents probably thought I was a little bonkers, but it worked. Then hubby and I walked again in some sprinkles around the neighborhood. Watch died at 9,400 steps, but I think I made my 10K.8 -
I'm Crystal! 40 yrs old, wife and mama of 3 (ages 14, 13 & 5)! I counted calories about 5 yrs ago and got down to goal weight. Life got in the way and I stopped being mindful and gained it all back. What I've realized from then to now, is that this truly is a lifestyle. I can't eat any way I want and expect to keep the weight off. At the moment I'm doing OMAD (Started Feb 5th). I'm unsure if I'll stick with this my whole journey or if I'll add another meal for 2 meals a day. I'm also trying to keep my calories still within the 1200 range and watching sugar and carbs. I feel so much better since I've cut back on everything. Once I do get to goal weight, of course I will add some calories back in to maintain.

2/26 178.8 didn't follow through with my goals yesterday. The weekends definitely seem a lot harder to stick to them. Oh well, planning for a better day! Good luck everyone!
2/27 177.2 My body was definitely holding weight from all the carbs the other day. Had a good day yesterday. Ate very healthy and stuck with my goals, although I didn't get a walk in. Feel great this morning!
2/28 177.2 Another good day!
2/29 177.0 Yesterday was church and we always eat dinner there. My excuse not to have to cook 🤪. Burger, fries and cookie- but it's ok in moderation! Something always seems to come up when I plan to walk so plan to get that in today. Hope everyone is having a great week! (7.5 lbs total loss in February)
3/1 176.8 Met all my goals and got a good walk in yesterday 🙂
3/2 177.9 Had Japanese food last night along with a chocolate and peanut butter dessert. Also a couple hundred over on calories. Definitely feeling it this morning. Drinking plenty of water today! Have a great weekend everyone!
3/3 179.6 🙄 My husband made himself a drink last night and asked if I wanted one. It's been a long time since I drank alcohol because I know what it does to my body (weight gain, mindless snacking etc..) So 1 drink turned into 2.. and of course I over ate too. Oh well.. today is a new day.
3/4 179.7 Was another busy day yesterday- out to eat after church with the family and friends and a birthday party last night with pizza and candy. My weight just goes to show that I can't eat like this often and reach my goals. I'm not mad at myself. But I am feeling pretty yucky. Plan to have a couple of low calorie days to get myself back on track.
3/5 177.9 Good day yesterday- honestly wasn't real hungry after the weekend. I can still feel my body holding on to some of the junk 😆. It's weird, I don't remember feeling this bad before I started my journey. Every time I'm off track with my eating now I am really feeling it for it the next couple of days. I guess I'm just feeling it more now that I know what it actually feels like to feel "good", especially in my tummy area. I'm not sure if that even makes sense. But it's enough to make me want to keep pushing through, for sure.
3/6 176.6 Yesterday was another good day. Low calorie and healthy- I'm feeling a ton better today. My weight bounced all over the place these past 10 days 😂. At least I'm ending with a loss though. (-2.2lbs) Happy for that. See y'all next round! ❤️8 -

Round 252 Results:
Previous 10 Days- Final RD#252 Results
~ StartWT: 175.6
~ EndWT: 3/06 ⬇️174
~ Overall: Loss - 1.6lbs
~ Made my mini-goal of 174. Still making strides to be better at my day to day goals of restricting alcohol consumption. ~ Finished the last 3 days of round 252 strong! No “buts”. It’s worthy to note that I usually add a “But, I couldn’t…” or “But I didn’t hit my mini-goal…”
~ So here’s to NO BUTS this round!! Lol
Stayed Below SW 175.6✔️=Yes ❌=No
(Mon > > > > > > > > Next Wed)
❌❌❌❌❌❌❌✔️✔️✔️
(Cliffs notes in red):Spoiler- Wed 03/06✔️174;-0lbs
~ Another day another dollar!🫤 No change in the scale today. Did have a lot of keto “products” yesterday, which I’ve been trying to limit to once a day. A Hungry-ghost lingered around my stomach all day but I do believe he doubled as a Tired-ghost.
~ ***MUST get good sleep to reach my goals.✔️Day 3 complete with no alcohol! - Tue 03/05✔️174;-.6lbs
~ I had a hard time going to sleep last night. So I let myself sleep an extra 45 minutes. With my line of work I really do need 7 hours or more of sleep in order to be productive. Didn’t quite get there, so hopefully that doesn’t disturb my momentum..✔️Day 2 complete with no alcohol!
~ **Note to self: Lack of sleep also really does affect my eating habits; more munching in general - Mon 03/04✔️174.6;-2.4lbs
~ I expected this type of dip. All the stars were aligned yesterday. I walked a ton on my treadmill. I was also paying close attention to the keto macros I was eating all day. Like just because you CAN add a Tablespoon of butter doesn’t mean you have to. You can hit the perfect fat/protein/carbs percentage without a full serving.
~ Yesterday was a great day - Sun 03/03❌177.0;+.6lbs
~ I actually HAVE been weighing in over the last few days but haven’t been able to log my food, so no real way to analyze what I’ve been doing wrong. Still trying to eat better but I have been letting my hair down and I allowed myself to drink some when I was out with friends.
~ I did sign up to participate in another weight loss challenge I found on MyFitnessPal called Fat2Fit. It starts today and I’m very excited and hopeful that it’s going to kick start my weight loss! Also, my aunt asked me to call her in the mornings to get her motivated to work out. This gave me an added boost to my own motivation. - Sat 03/02❌176.4; 0lbs
~ Didn’t weigh - Fri 03/01❌176.4; 0lbs
~ Didn’t weigh - Thu 02/29❌176.4;-1lbs
~ Nothing of note - Wed 02/28❌177.4;+.2lbs
~ wow! Only one more day of February left! - Tue 02/27❌177.2;+.5lbs
~ Ok pre-TMI I was 178.4 and then post-TMI I was 176.1! (Still so thankful for code names!) But when the difference is so extreme like that, I’m going to divide and subtract the difference. Because well, I must just REALLY had to go!! lol
~ Still having a hard time getting back on the treadmill. Dealing with a little PTSD when I was on there for too long Friday and Saturday which made my feet sore afterwords. This is probably contributing to my “I can eat whatever I want” mental state of mind right now. - Mon 02/26❌176.7;+1.11lbs
~ I was good all day until my husband wanted pizza. I usually go nuts and eat with my eyes but I didn’t this time.
~ I’m still surprised this isn’t higher.. but maybe I have been given some grace here. I did put a rule in place, which was to stop eating when I was full last night. Maybe that was it.. - SW: 175.6
~ Continuing on with my same plan

Day, Weight, Comment
2/26 - DNW
I forgot to weigh myself until I’d had coffee and a big glass of water, so I’ll let it go for today. It’s my Monday lunch out with a friend day, so I skipped breakfast and won’t have much dinner. Hard to believe it’s the last week of February!
2/27 - 194.6
I had a big lunch yesterday, but no breakfast or dinner, so all good. I started today with a high-protein breakfast and feel much more positive than I have the past few weeks. It’s gorgeous out this morning so I’m doing a few outdoor things before the rain moves in. Yay!
2/28 - DNW
Forgot to sign in! That’s unusual for me—just got distracted. 🤪
2/29 - 194.6
Leap! Going to the home & garden show with a friend in a bit. Should be fun, and lots of walking.
3/01 - 195
I’m surprised, since we walked all over the coliseum at the Home & Garden show and my calories were low yesterday. I did have a soft pretzel and felt parched later, so maybe the salt. Anyway….
3/02 - 195
I had a minor epiphany this morning, still only half formed, but rattling around in my head. Basically, I’m leaning toward shifting from attempts to limit and restrict, which used to work for me but now makes me rebel and “sneak” things (from whom, I have no idea!) to eating what I want but very mindfully. I’m going to stop tracking for a while. I’ve tracked daily for the past 9 years(! —see spoiler) and it worked for a while but has clearly lost its power for me. I’m cranking up my walking program, aiming to add mileage over the next few weeks until I’m back to my old 6-8 miles per day. And I have lots of work to do in the garden this spring as I reshape some of it. I don’t know if this will work, but not constantly obsessing about food and focusing instead on movement and activity seems so attractive to me right now. I’m debating a vacation from this group for a while, but that’s hard—I love you guys!—and while I often feel inspired by your stories, I also wonder if reading them as I try to refocus will make that shift more difficult. Anyway, off to walk.
3/03 - 194
Still here. 😊 I didn’t track yesterday—that’s going to take some getting used to, I’ve done it religiously for so long, but it felt right.
@Chapter_3, thanks for your comments/support—means a lot.
3/04 - 195
I love how I bounce up and down. 😁 Yesterday was day 2 of not tracking, although I’ve been at it so long I do it automatically in my head. Anyway, I think this might work, plus I’m actually feeling a bit more relaxed. I really appreciate the support from the group!
3/05 - 194.6
Dog-training classes restart this week, so Charlie will be starting scent work this morning and agility tomorrow, and I’ll be moving a lot more. Yay! The little guy is not happy in the car, but hopefully he’ll get over that. Have a good day, all!
3/06 - 194.4
Sounds goofy since I’m where I was the end of last round (.2 either way is nothing imo), but I feel lighter. Maybe it’s the weight of constant tracking off my mind. 😊 Yesterday a friend brought some vegetable beef soup she’d made, so we had that for dinner. DH suggested corn muffins to go with it but I countered with a tossed salad suggestion and we went with that. Really good dinner—lots of veggies! This morning I made egg-English muffin-Canadian bacon-cheddar Asiago breakfast sandwiches and added a slice of tomato to mine. So yummy! Charlie and I have agility at 1 so I wanted something that will stick until dinner. I actually meant to leave the cheese off but forgot. Habit! I’m really trying to cut my fat, especially saturated fat, to see if that helps my gut problems. Anyway, see you next round.

HW-187 Sep. 2014. Thank you @quiltingjaine !🌸
UGW-140
2/27-173-life has been very busy and is finally slowing down and I am finally able to pick and choose what is going to take up my time. The bees are all out in the blooming almond trees and will remain here for a few more weeks, so I’ll probably just walk at home. Got a heat mat and started a bunch of seeds. Now need to get the raised beds put together and filled.
2/28-173-Went to yoga then rode the horse. Had lunch then needed a nap. What the heck? I’m 58 and get tired. Had a cup of coffee and read. Then I was ready to go plant/start more seeds. I wanted to walk but it has been so windy. Maybe I’ll walk with the horse today.
2/29-175-A whoosh up, but I don’t mind because I finally got moving yesterday. Dentist, walk with horse and friend 2 miles then yard work. Happy with what I got accomplished, just too many snacks. Yoga today then a bit of sewing with Quilts of Honor gals.
3/1-174-Yoga, sewing, exercised the horse then made the Copycat Panera Chicken and Rice Soup. Instead of using the packaged rice, I substituted barley since it is supposed to be better on the glycemic index. Off to Featherweight Club today.
3/2-173-Took a salad instead of eating off f the taco truck . Off to the snow, just for a ride today. Lunch out, hopefully wise choices.
3/3-DNW-In a hurry to get going this morning. It might be clear enough to walk today. Need to finish taxes and get them mailed off tomorrow.
3/4-173-I”ll take that after the weekend. The rain has stopped for a couple of days and I have my work cut out for me and I’m off to do it…….well, after I finish this cup of coffee,
3/5-DNW-Finished the chicken/barley soup at lunch and made pork chops for dinner. Got our tax info all rounded up and ready to mail. Did laundry and rode the horse and even got most of my pruning done. Hopefully I’ll have another productive day!!!
3/6-173-I’ll take that after snacking badly and eating oof of the taco truck. Housework, horse and more house work.7 -

03/05 -177.4- (Trend weight 178.9) I have my family doctor appointment later this afternoon located locally in the next town over. I think he’ll be pleased with my weight loss since I last saw him. There was another small drop on the scale today. I am beginning to see more loose skin so I would prefer to lose it slow but steady at my age. My secret desire, however, is to hit 169 point anything by my birthday May 10th. I have not been losing at a rate that would get me there so it is a dream for sure. Oh but what a dream!
03/06 -177.8- (Trend weight 178.8) Oops. I got into the Christmas chocolate in the back of the garage freezer last night after having spent the afternoon at my doctor appointment. Appointment went well. My thyroid medication was permanently reduced because of my weight loss. Yay! So later last night, I was thinking it was “safe and okay” to eat chocolate since my doctor appointment was over and there would be no accountability. I forgot about my accountability on MFP. Thank goodness you guys are here. Today will be a mindful day of obedience. We are inching closer and closer to spring and summer (and wearing shorts). See you next round as I try to keep that in mind. In the summer I cannot easily hide behind layers of clothing!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

3/06 - 150.0 - I realized I had typed an update and never hit post yesterday! Oops. Didn't hit goal of being under 150.0 but I'm alright with that. I felt (and looked) really bloated this morning. Not sure what's going on. Last day of my meal prepped lunch and dinner. I have stuff thawing to prep for tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday. Good workout at the gym today and another tomorrow. Unsure if I will run Friday or Saturday. Starting to think Saturday will be better so I can take the dogs to the river trail Friday and not have to worry about driving all the way home to drop them off before going all the way back into town for groceries. Better to walk them Friday in town and run locally Saturday so I can come home to shower before heading into town to shop.
Previous Day's CommentsSpoiler3/04 - What a doozy that was. I'm back now. I did work out Monday-Thursday. Slept in Friday knowing I'd be awake for nearly 24 hours even with sleeping in. Ate as close to paleo as possible with eating out and not many restaurants being dairy-free friendly. Yesterday I BF and I went to get groceries and meal prepped. I have breakfast through Saturday while I have lunch/dinner prepped through Wednesday. I'll have to make Wed-Sat lunch and dinner still. The youngest two kids will be here Saturday evening for a week for spring break- BF leaves Friday to go get them so I'm already starting to plan dinners that I can eat with them and still stick to paleo. Likely I'll eat only the protein and veg while they can have other sides. Back on track with workouts Monday-Friday this week. Work is hectic/stressful and likely to stay that way the remainder of the month so goal is simply to give my body the best treatment I possibly can to offset the stress/cortisol levels. Glad to be back!

Hi, I'm Charissa
Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024!
So here we go 2024... my motto -
🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Note to Self: Alcohol kills weight loss as the focus is burning alcohol calories and not fat calories!
Goals this round:
- Tracking/Under Calorie Budget 🍎
- Macros - hit Protein ✅
- Water - 64oz minimum > trying hard for 80💧
- Closing my rings M-F🚶🏽
Time to refocus and reel it in tighter....No excuses. Last round I almost lost what I gained in the prior 2.

Dates = Weight ; Comments for prior day.
2/25 216.8 🚶🏽Lazy day on Saturday. Did get my work out in! Watched 3 of the movies nominated for best picture. There was alcohol so happy for scale to not have lost it's mind
2/26 〰️ 216.8 🚶🏽Sunday was ok, but no scale feedback. I measured and see that I've lost 10 inches since January 3rd. That helped a bit with motivation! Didn't sleep well.
2/27 ⬇️ 216.6🍎✅ Water was only at 64, aiming for 80. Didn't exercise yesterday since I had such a terrible night.
2/28 ⬇️ 215.8🍎✅💧🚶🏽A few too many pretzels as we were stuck in the underground garage of our apartment for almost two hours waiting for the severe weather to pass.
2/29 ⬇️ 215.4🍎✅💧🚶🏽 Slow downward trend. Glad to see the end of February. It was not good for me but it could have been worse. Ready for March and all the good that it will bring!!!
3/1 ❌ 216.4✅💧🚶🏽Boooooo.....somewhat guilty. Those pretzels I talked about...They are evil. I've been measuring out an ounce and that is my snack when I want something. My rationale (while faulty) if I'm not drinking, then I can at least have a small snack. My husband replenished the supply and when I came home...the bag..was right there..... one ounce was more like three!
3/2 ⬇️ 214.8🍎✅💧🚶🏽So funny... when the scale doesn't cooperate, I'm disappointed. When it does... I'm thinking...that cant be right!!🙂
3/3 DNW🍎✅🚶🏽Short on water and had a drink or two....
3/4 ❌216.2🍎🚶🏽Didn't hit water or protein yesterday (close 140/150). Water wasn't even close. Back to work week...so that's good
3/5 ❌ 216.4🍎✅🚶🏽
3/6 〰️ 216.4🍎✅🚶🏽Must FOCUS... I knew the first week of March was going to be difficult. Just get to the weekend and press the reset button!!6 -

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.

2/25 Edit - After coffee yesterday at 6AM, I went back to bed for a few hours and weighed 132.0 when I got up at 10:30
2/26 132.0 RE: cruise check-in - While the whale tail on the iPad was “thinking” I got on my phone and finished with no problem and the tail was still spinning on the iPad. 🤷♀️ The rest of the day was uneventful. Today my art quilt group meeting across town. I have considered quitting because I hate the drive but it is really my only outside activity.
2/27 133.5 Blaming bread (1 slice sourdough) and Venti Flat White with HWC. I made a sandwich with Boar’s Head meats and cheese for lunch and asparagus for myself for dinner.
2/28 132.0 Had my first ever facial yesterday. I LOVED it. DH is going to lunch with blind friend today. Our friend is moving into a house with his daughter. She works mostly from home so we hope it will be a good plan for them.
⭐️⭐️OOPS!
2/29 131.5 I guess I decided to LEAP over Leap year day and neglected to post.
3/1 132.0 My body must like being back here. My head likes being closer to 120. At least I am still tracking.
3/2 131.0 DH is eager to leave for cruises. We are using the extra bedroom as a staging area. My Garmin watch died and it has been discontinued. I’m so sad.
3/3 131.5 Macros were right on and I need to tell myself what I often say here. It can take 2-3 days for what I am eating to show on the scale. @itladyee thank you for this - Note to Self: Alcohol kills weight loss and supports gains. I wish I had read this yesterday.
3/4 131.0 Great Greek yesterday, of course. Local DD and DSIL met us there and then we went to their house for haircuts. She does such an excellent job! Going to Juan’s Flaming Fajitas for lunch with friends.
3/5 131.0 Surprised I didn’t go up but only ate beef fajitas. It would have been healthier to do them as romaine wraps but those super thin house-made tortillas are so good and my will power is almost zero when it comes to breads.
3/6 131.0 Our internet seems to be down. Almost forgot to come back here. DH and I are cleaning house. He’s much better than I am. My job is the kitchen. I’m pleased with this round. As I said when I started on here, in 2017, any loss is a good thing.6 -
First time joining this, and found it late so im using this round as a chance to figure it out. I dont like weighing everyday as it gives me anxiety. The goal for me is to weigh three times each challenge, first day, day 5, and day 10. (Modified to 2 for this first round).
Goal: lose 1-2lbs.

3/6: 281.0
I actually weighed more than planned just didnt formerly record. But I actually went up all the way to 283 after a celebratory weekend for Fur Rondy (annual event/fair in Alaska). I've suspected for sometime that alcohol has been my main set back on weightloss. This short adventure solidified that. I'm going to be focusing on really cutting that back in the coming weeks. And I'm pleased to have ended very near to where I started. Time for the next round!5 -
@tiabirdie56 Im so sorry you aren’t feeling yourself. I hope it resolves itself but always know you have friends here that care for you.

2/26- 167.3 There's a slight chill in the air tonight and despite wearing wool socks, I can't seem to shake the cold. Good excuse to tuck into a warm bed just a little early.
2/27- 167.2 My husband and I have lost almost half our dog between the two of us at 31 pounds combined. Also, the store had ground turkey packages on sale for $1.99 because the use or freeze by date is in the next week, so I grabbed three of those. We actually prefer turkey tacos to the ground beef ones, so it was a good find.
2/28- 167.9 Staying in my calorie goal.
2/29 167.8 Another good night, but I've stayed up past my bedtime reading.
3/1-167.3 Got off work a little early and took the dog to the dog park for an afternoon treat. Impromptu date night with my husband after. Ate at maintenance for the day, but I was 300 under goal yesterday which will help. Read and fell asleep early.
3/2- 167.6 Helped my sister start moving today. Articfish blackened salmon tonight and I'm back on track with calories. We're out so I need to go to Costco and see if they still have more.
3/3-167.6 Got my salmon from Costco, yay! Hello, ToM, boo! Still have a slight loss this round with 3 more days to go.
3/4- 166.5 I feel like I could use a 3 day weekend. But I have a weeklong vacation coming up in a month. And I'm glad there will be at least 14 pounds less of me to haul around.
3/5 -166.5 Quite happy with this.
3/6- 166 (75.3 kg) On to the next round!
Loss this round: 1.8 pounds (.8 kg)4 -
💦🌺Just 10 more days 🌺💦👣
I’m a retired 65 year old Oregon gal who enjoys getting out in nature. I started this latest journey to better health on October 1st with a high of 148.2. I have slowly been checking off 5 pounds at a time, and most likely are on my final 5 pounds of this journey. This round I really need to watch the water 💦 intake and remember to leave the evening snacks alone. I hope to flirt with 130 a time or 2️⃣ on this round!! 😉
