    @musicsax I have a question I've been wondering since you posted some details the other day about your walking. You said you often walk when you go to market or other places you need to go. I'm curious if you take a stroller or something with you to help you carry back your purchases? I can't really walk from my neighborhood to my shopping spots, because there's a dangerous stretch of road with no sidewalks, but I might could park outside of that area and walk to and from my car. Walking is my favorite form of exercise, by far, so making it purposeful might be fun this spring.

    Ten Days Round 286

    I've made it through one complete round. This round's goals are the same.
    Daily I will weigh myself; record everything I eat & drink; and post to stay mindful of good habits.

    My universe is insane right now. I've had no time to read everyone's posts. I'm missing out on valuable insight. Hopefully, I'll get a breather during this round.

    Wishing SUCCESS to us all! 🙂

    Ended Round 285 at 152.2lbs, up 1.0lbs for the round

    1/31 - 152.6 ⬆️0.4lbs
    2/1- 152.6 ➖ 0.0lbs
    2/2 - 149.0 ⬇️3.6lbs
    2/3 - 149.4 ⤴️0.4lbs
    2/4 -149.6 ⬆️0.2lbs
    2/5 - 150.8 ⬆️1.2lbs
    2/6 - 150.6 ⤵️0.2lbs
    2/7 - 150.6 ➖0.0lbs
    2/8 - 147.4 ⬇️3.2lbs
    2/9

    1/31 - Weigh, Record, Post. All done.

    2/1 - Happy Weekend MFP friends. Goals met: weighed, recorded, & posted. Everything else needs improvement but my weight is holding at the docs goal.

    2/2 - Happy Sunday MFP friends.

    Weighed Recorded & Posted 🙂 Another successful day. I'm making progress.

    I've lost a bit. Down 3.6lbs today and loving the 140s as I look forward to the 130s. The massive one day drop is because I weighed myself early. True loss is about a pound for which I'm grateful.

    Re-claiming lost good habits is harder than dropping them. This is a good obsession I twice convinced myself was not important. Why do I abandon what works? Cheers to returning to my good place. 😊

    2/3 - After yesterday's large "scale victory" anything less can feel like a let down. I've taken a reality check.

    I'm still grading myself as needs improvement. The remaining pounds will come off by burning fat and building lean muscle.

    2/4 - Damn you scale, up 0.2lbs at 149.6lbs. I'm looking forward to normal fluctuations sticking below 149.0lbs.

    Anyhoo... That's another day weighed, recorded and posted. As I get closer to re-creating one good habit I'm considering what's next.

    Macros need to fall into place for me to reach my lean muscle goal. It's time to work a new plan based on my old eating and exercise habits.

    Glad to see so many here honoring commitment to self care. Reading your posts and comments is encouraging. I remember some of you while others are new to me. (Or, maybe only the avatar has changed? 😉)

    I'm looking forward to when I can read your posts regularly. Best wishes for everyone's success.

    2/5 - Arrrgh, up over a pound and back in the 150s. I know it's because I'm weighing at night today but it still stings. Hopefully the 140s will firmly stick by months end.

    Daily goals for the round complete.
    Weigh Record Post
    I didn't feel like doing this but I got it done.

    2/6 - Goals completed:
    Weighed✓ Recorded✓ Posted✓
    This week I returned to recording exercise. Cardio okay but I have a make up session due for strength.

    All the best everyone! 🙂

    2/7 - Weigh✓ Record✓ Post✓ All done.

    2/8 - Weigh✓ Record✓ Post✓ All done.
    Calories down & protein intake up.

    02/07-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- No weigh Friday for me. Last night was a tad better as far as the snack monsters and binges go, but still not perfect. I likely remained under calories but over on carbs. I had pre-logged which is now inaccurate. Aiming for an even better day today but weekends are tough when my DD and DGS are here.

    02/08-195.7-(Trend Weight: 193.2)- OMGosh. I am FREAKING OUT!!! Thinking back this morning I realized that I gave my entire dinner to my DGS (age 7) who wanted more. Then I did not fix myself anything else because I wasn’t that hungry at the time. Later was filled with “approved” snacks in abundance. It never dawned on me that I’d never had dinner so I filled up on the snacks (which takes a LOT). He just kept me too busy to even think or realize. Yes, I guess I am blaming a poor child that was hungry but the truth is the truth. I will work on this weight today and plan all the meals for everyone more carefully. He must be in a growth spurt! I certainly am.

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    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.

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

    Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

    JamesClear “New goals don't deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome. For this reason, all of your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results.”

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

    I need to STAY ENGAGED because I’m the DRIVER not the passenger in this life.

    Comments pertain to previous day

    SW Rnd 286 134.5
    Back to keto basics. At least that is my plan.
    1/31 134.5
    2/1 137.0 Chicken egg roll in a bowl yesterday. Why does cabbage do that to me? And no TMI x 2 UGH!
    2/2 136.0 Today Keto Chili Casserole
    2/3 135.5
    2/4 136.0 I ate a bowl of buttered popcorn last night. It was delicious and now there isn’t any left in the house! Spring/summer seem to have sprung in the Las Vegas valley. The high today is expected to be 80 degrees! It was about the same yesterday.
    2/5 136.0 Shrimp Alfredo on spaghetti squash was OMAD at 1pm yesterday. Carrot sticks and feta dip from Great Greek snack. It would be nice to see a drop but not stressing over it.
    2/6 136.5 Up at 6 and making bread to take to DD#2. ** Going to Golden Corral for lun-ner.
    2/7 138.0 Not surprised, I think I ate every breaded and fried item on the buffet!
    2/8 137.5 (Last weight before flight & cruise.) Well there it is! I’m going to HAVE to watch what I eat on this cruise or I won’t fit into any of the clothes I have packed! Or anything in my closet - PERIOD!

    2/08 - 166.9 - I indulged in a little too many carbs yesterday over by 30g (20g over buffer) but I was quite hungry. My meals were too calorie dense and not filling enough, I think. I need to find a balance between the meals I hate Monday-Thursday (filling but not enough calories/macros) and the meals I ate Friday (not very filling but high calorie/macro). Part of that was being so busy trying to get as many errands done as I could to maximize time spend with BF while he was home. Today will be better, I think. I slept in much longer than anticipated so I'm a bit behind on water, but working now to fix that. BF is out for a haircut so I walked the dogs and am eating a nutritious snack of skyr (Icelandic version of greek yogurt) with chia seeds and fresh chopped strawberries. Yum! The weather is fantastic - I wore a t-shirt to walk the dogs and now thinking of switching to shorts its so warm. Mostly due to the humidity, but I won't complain! I love warmth (:

    Previous Day's Comments
    1/31 - TOM showed up this morning a bit unexpectedly. This is okay, I figured it was going to arrive sooner than my app had estimated and I was right listening to my body. Hopefully this means some extra bloating will drop off in the coming days. I'm not holding my breath given it is a weekend and BF is coming home tonight. We're postponing date night to tomorrow since he'll be arriving home so late due to rush hour traffic being unavoidable and I know he just wants to get home. I'll make something tonight that's healthy and balanced for us both. All else is going well, though! I need to make a meal plan for next week so I can grab groceries tomorrow so I'll start on that here shortly since work is over.
    2/01 - As expected, a nice drop now TOM's arrived. Today is a bit up in the air with food as we postponed date night to today since the Man arrived home so late from training last night and just wanted to relax at home. It's lunch but he has some errands he'd like to run so I'm not sure if we'll eat out or grab something at home before heading out. I'll do my best to eat sensibly regardless. Also need to squeeze in a walk with the dogs at some point today, particularly now that it's nice and sunny and it's warming up quite a bit.
    2/02 - DNP
    2/03 - Ouch. Not without reason, though. BF was home this weekend and I only got about a day and a half to spend with him. We ended up having lunch and dinner out Saturday (lunch was reasonable, dinner was pizza). Due to meal prep and my kitchen being a bit overcrowded with that, I ended up splitting the rest of the leftover pizza with BF for lunch Sunday. Dinner was very early (3pm compared to our normal 5-6pm) so I was quite hungry before bed and ate again. I was in my emotions from BF being gone another week so I didn't make the best choices. Fortunately, during the work week I have routine to keep me in check. He's gone this week and next week so I'll only have 1 more weekend that routine will be disrupted. I know now, though, so hopefully next weekend won't be so challenging to get through and I can avoid a mini-binge. Managed the gym this morning despite feeling rather bleh about the whole binge and, honestly, feeling a bit ill from it, too. I'm glad I went, though, and I know I'll feel better for it in short order. Here's to progress and learning!
    2/04 - This is better. Not perfect but I knew it would take a couple days of diligently following my macros, water, and movement to drop it back down. Gym this morning again and meals planned for the day. Once again, I'm short by quite a bit on carbs and a little on fat. I'm within my buffer for protein so I have very limited wiggle room there to help me get the other 2 macros up. I figured out my binge problem as I faced something similar yesterday - I'm bored and lonely! I realized that if I kept myself thoroughly engaged in something, I wasn't particularly hungry. But when I wasn't fully distracted by tasks, I found myself constantly seeking carbs or sugar. What really made me notice was the fact that 10 minutes after eating a very filling and balanced meal, I was searching my pantry and fridge for something carby and had a moment of "I just ate and was quite satisfied, there's no way I'm hungry 10 minutes later, this is something else" and I forced myself to go sit on the couch and read. Once I was into the book, I was fine. Well, then. The goal, now, is to stay distracted in the evenings once work is over.
    2/05 - Another nice drop after behaving myself well yesterday. Next week I really need to meal plan better so I'm not excessively short on carbs but meeting everything else. It's been a struggle to find whole foods and not junk to fill so much of a gap (I'm between 50-60g shy on carbs everyday this week with breakfast. lunch, and dinner logged, today included. Other than snacks for carbs (with a small wiggle room for protein), I'm set for today. Gym was good and all other habits have been good! I've decided that after I finish with Coach, I'm going to drop to maintenance for a couple weeks and then start a small cut.
    2/06 - I'm not entirely sure why I'm up. Maybe DOMS? I did have my hardest workout of the week yesterday morning and I'm definitely feeling it today. Food was good yesterday and I'm planned out for today, minus a couple snacks (again, battling the low carb issue I have been all week). Tomorrow I'll be grocery shopping and coming up with a good dinner to make for when BF gets home. I will be improvising lunch and dinner so, hopefully, I won't be dealing with the single macro issues I have all week. Feeling pretty good about this going forward.

    Round 282 88.8 kg
    Round 283 88.4
    Round 284 87.75
    Round 285 87.55

    Day 1, Fri 87.5, eating = good, 30 minutes running on treadmill
    Day 2, Sat 87.7, median is 87.6 which is above the last round. I'm running 5 kilometers today so I'll keep my food at the same level. I ate a kilogram of peas yesterday, and my itchiness due to eczema has reduced. Apparently it's due to chlorophyll and peas have a lot of chlorophyll. I'll have another kilogram today.
    Day 3, Sun 86.8, median is 87.5 just below last round. The peas have worked, my itchiness has dropped by say 2/3. I'm not sure how often to have them.
    Day 4, Mon 87.2, median is 87.35
    Day 5, Tue 87.2, median is 87.2
    Day 6, Wed 87.7, median is 87.35
    Day 7, Thu 88.0, median is 87.7
    Day 8, Fri 87.2, median is 87.35
    Day 9, Sat 86.9, median is 87.2
    Day 10, Sun 86.7, median is 87.2 which is a loss from last round.

    60+ Female using trend weight

    I gained 0.5 lbs avg last round. Second round in a row I've gained. While they are small gains it's not the direction I want to be going in. My goal is to intentionally move my body in the gym 3 times/week min of 15 min. I will establish the habit of going to the gym and then begin increasing my minimums.

    🐸I will keep the analogy of boiling frog in my head🐸

    2/8: the Friday night bump from "happy hour" with my DD and DGS. It's my time with them and I won't stop doing that, nor should I- whatever the plan, it needs to accommodate "real life" or it isn't sustainable. The bump this week was not as high as last, so that's positive. I'm learning what the patterns are and how to manage them.

    You'd think this same 5 lbs would be easy, but it's the hardest 5 lbs of all...

    @quiltingjaine
    Oh man, that’s going to be tough! The dining options are usually the best! Got anything with elastic packed, just in case?

    @musicsax @UTMom81 @Chapter_3 I enjoy including walks to the market as part of my exercise routine too. Returning home is always a "weighted walk" burning extra calories, and sometimes I'll do bicep curls with the bags as an extra boost.

    @Chapter_3
    It’s so easy to let those numbers take over your mindset. I took my power back from the scale long ago. I only weigh daily when it doesn’t stress me out - otherwise, I give myself space before checking back in. I learned the hard way it’s just a tool, not a judge, and it definitely doesn’t define my success. Staying consistent, trusting the process, and moving forward without self-criticism is the real win!

    @Skyleen75
    Amen to that! It’s the little things that count the most. Those extra hugs and time spent with loved ones mean everything. 💖

    @Slimmersixties
    LOL, I’m surprised too! 🤣 But calling this “Firmer February,” and surprisingly excited to try some new things to tone up. But hey, those leisurely walks are just as important! Wish I had your sunny weather and ocean views to enjoy them though 😎

    Fell off the challenge bandwagon in round 256, managed to keep losing weight until June 12th when I hit 155.9 (70.7 kg). I fell off the weight loss wagon shortly after. Decided to start back up the day before Round 278 started.

    SW Rnd 286: 149.9 (68 kg)

    1/31- 149.8 (67.9 kg) Off to a good start. Honestly, I would be happy just to end this round anywhere in the 140s. It was supposed to snow today, but the weather warmed up and we've had rain all day instead. I'm glad I didn't have to commute home in a mess but I'm hoping the mountains got some snow to build up the snowpack.
    2/1- 149.1 (67.6 kg) Today my husband insisted I buy new bras because none of them fit. I have been resorting to wearing my sports bra and even that was on its tightest setting and wasn't as supportive any more. So we drove 170 miles (275 km) one way to Dillard's so I could go somewhere with fitters and a decent selection. I had forgotten how nice it is to have properly fitting and supportive undergarments. I should have done this a long time ago.
    2/2- 149.8 (67.9 kg) Only a semi-productive day but that's okay.
    2/3- 149.3 (67.7 kg) Crazy busy Monday at work. Turkey tacos for dinner tonight. Staying in calories.
    2/4- 148.7 (67.4 kg) Bitter wind and snowy tonight. I had my monthly coffee with friends and did a paint n sip afterwards. I need to stick with the chocolate chip cookie at Starbucks. I did the brownie tonight and it wasn't worth the calorie difference.
    2/5- 148.5 (67.4 kg) Today was not a great work day. I felt tired, discouraged and defeated by lots of little things out of my control (and tempted to eat my feelings). I got off work very late, spouse is traveling again, and I was trying to think of something for dinner that sounded appealing. As I was about to head out the door, one of the kitchen workers that happened to be in the hall asked me if I wanted dinner and ran into the kitchen and grabbed me a piping hot container of lasagna. I think they're technically supposed to charge but he said not to worry about it because they had extras from dinner service. That random act of kindness lifted my entire day. It can be so easy to dwell on the negatives, but small acts of good can have a big impact.
    2/6- 148.1 (67.2 kg) Resisted the urge to go to the local bar and grill that's a few blocks away. I have been craving their fried chicken sandwich and fries with queso. I will go at some point, but I'm hoping we can go to our favorite place this weekend for a burger since they've just opened back up from their usual January break.
    2/7- 147.8 (67 kg) Got my burger tonight. Delicious! But less than 2 hours after dinner, my stomach was protesting. Even though I didn't quite finish it all, I think I ate too much. I told my husband to help remind me of this next time we go. Smaller me must have a smaller stomach.
    2/8- 148.1 (67.2 kg) I'm going to call today mildly productive. We did some chores, ran some errands, and daydreamed a bit about potential future house projects.

    Finding the tools to find my way…

    “Maintenance" is not a temporary step, it's how I eat now and going forward. Learning to eat well through holidays, vacations, family issues and events is part of the process of change and growth to make this my lifestyle.

    The calories and food choices are all good; Friday night I diverged a bit but was pretty restrained.
    So. Right now I have to stop focusing on the number and just work on the habits. The scale is just one barometer of my well-being, the "big picture" includes all my daily choices.

    2/2 OOT
    2/3 149.4 Lots of walking on a gorgeous day! I SO enjoyed yesterday!!! Supposed to be beautiful again today, so let's see what I can get into!
    2/4 149.8 Another spectacular false-spring day here in east TN. Went to the park for a long walk, then played outside with the grandkids after picking them up from school. Can’t beat a day like that in early February! I am so grateful for the reprieve from the cold, damp, and gray! I know it won’t last, but I’m going to enjoy it. Today I will focus on lowering my carbs again. I have let them sneak up since being sick last round. Time to squash that unhealthy trend.
    2/5 150 I really think this is just because I am finally feeling better now and am eating normally again. I did well with my diet and got in lots of walking on another really beautiful day! We did go out to eat last night and although careful with what I ate, there’s always the salt factor. I want to get back in the 140s, so I’ll be even more careful today.
    2/6 149.2 Two really good walks yesterday, one at church before Bible Study then another in the afternoon around the neighborhood. I have gotten carbs back where they need to be and protein back up, so hopefully I can continue to lose a little more before the end of the round. I’ll do well to just get back to where I started this round, if that is even possible. But considering I was still a bit sick at the start of the round, I’ll take that as a win if I can make it happen. Headed to the gym today for a bit of strength training and a class. Then I get to spend some time with my DGS this afternoon. Should be a good day!
    2/7 150.2 I worked out HARD yesterday and am sore today, so I expect this is lactic acid. Came home from the gym hungry and tried to focus on protein, but took in a couple hundred more calories than I like to over the course of a day. Other macros were still in range, though. Anyway, the plan today is just walking so hopefully it will come back down soon.
    2/8 149.8 Two leisurely walks with River first, then with River and DGD in the afternoon. Still some lingering soreness from Thursday's aggressive session. Y’all, it’s supposed to be 72 degrees and sunny here today!!! I’m teaching a little class at my quilt group this morning, but I will be looking for ways to be OUTSIDE this afternoon!
    2/9 150.4 It did NOT turn out Sunny and 72 (guess I jinxed myself yesterday morning!), but we went to the Clinch River and walked the walking paths up there anyway. Took Hubby and River and had a wonderful afternoon. I am just vacillating over and under the 150 mark right now, but that’s exactly how my body works. I remember I was at 153 (over and under, back and forth) for weeks! It’ll come down more as long as I stay the course. I’m really proud that I walked over 10K steps every single day of this round. It’s been a long while since I’ve been consistently over 10K for any period of time.

    Good morning all! I am 10 pages of round 286 behind. I was in avoidance mode, which I am not happy about. I've got my word file set up for round 287 and am looking forward to it. Today, I am going to track/pre-track my day. Yes, it is super bowl, but I am compromising by making fish tacos with the local yellowtail snapper than my husband caught.

    Hubby held the annual condo meeting on thursday, and that afternoon we hosted a cocktail party. Was a nice time, but not a lot of eating happened, so three guesses what I have been eating for breakfast lunch and dinner. Yesterday was my highest weight in close to two years, 139.4. At this time last year, I was about 125.0.

    Anyhow, while avoiding, I did actually weigh myself each day, so I day by day see that was happening.

    Going to sit and do that tracking I promised. Looking forward to being back!!
