    . Hi. I’m a working senior from central B.C., Canada. Back for another round. After being an absolute backsliding turtle for the past ?18 months, my Ultimate challenge goal is to lose 20lbs.

    SW: 181.8 ; GW: 161 ; UGW 140

    Week 1: 178.6

    Week 2:

    Day 08—05/22— 179.2 Stayed up late watching Survivor; my player won so won the pool at work. $45 richer. Yahoo! Roadtrip to Kamloops today.

    Day 09—05/23—180.2 back to working 4 hr evenng shift.

    Day 10—05/24— 180.4 busy day, super tired and sore by end of shift

    Day 11—05/25— 181.8 ☹ One would think that ending a full day with a 4hr evening shift (server at sr. centre) would ‘help’ with wt loss. *sigh*

    Donna: I copied your post and fixed your spoilers. I also figured out how to remove a spoiler. Highlight the text and then click the paragraph icon and then the paragraph icon in the submenu.

    Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 194.2

    Goal This Round: 184.2 (10 pounds)

    Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    Total Lost/Gained this challenge: xxxxx

    🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜Ultimate Goal: 145-155 (I’ll know when I get there!)

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

    Thoughts at the start of this round:

    My goal from the very beginning has been to lose one pound per week for a total of 12 pounds per challenge. I have never considered that to be too much and I never thought in a million years I would find it this difficult, even at my age and with my health problems. But it’s proved to be nothing but an uphill climb and in most cases, impossible. I am going to lower my goal to 10 pounds per challenge and see if that will feel more right, more do-able. I, again, thank you for sharing my journey with me and allowing me to travel with you on yours. It is reassuring, refreshing, enlightening and inspiring and I am forever grateful.

    CURRENT WEEK:

    Day 08—05/22—193.8 ✅ (Trend Weight – 195.2)

    Day 09—05/23—193.6 ✅ (Trend Weight)-195.0) What a horrible night! My poor DGS was sick from both ends and I spent a great deal of time upstairs cleaning a lot of “accidents” up. He has been somewhat sick since last weekend which is probably where I caught it. I think the throwing up part was just due to such extreme coughing causing his gag reflex. He does do that at times. His appetite is certainly not suffering! Anyway, literally 1 hour of sleep for me then had to get up for my Contractor that’s coming today to tie up some loose ends. Who knew he would text later and say he’ll be a couple of hours late? Ugh! Very little movement on the scale when the day went according to plan. Disappointed but feel that it’s because of no sleep. Maybe tomorrow will show a bit of a bigger drop. I’d love to see another drop before the Holiday festivities inflates my numbers.

    🌺🌺🌺🌺 Day 10—05/24—192.2 ✅ (Trend Weight)-194.7) Scale weight today puts me below goal for the week. However, it is an American Holiday weekend which usually means multiple days of food for various reasons from the BBQ’s to shopping and dining out. I will have to work hard so that it doesn’t escalate. It will help that my son is away in Philadelphia this weekend and staying in New Jersey to see the heavy metal concerts going on. He’s a huge Metallica fan and Metal is not my thing. Luckily my oldest and her hubby are fans and could invite him to go. I’m glad to see him getting out. Now I just have to contend with my skinny, teeny tiny little foodie daughter and DGS. I may lose a little of my progress but hopefully nothing I can’t get back to by the end of our challenge week. I woke up extra hungry today which always happens after a nice drop on the scale. Already on the defense to keep things mindful and in control. Enjoy your Saturday everyone! Stay safe!

    @bteri107 Re lingering cough —> I hope you are able to kick that soon, I know it can take a toll on your body.

    @plantpowered Re the decimal —> I leave them in, even for my 7 day trend. I find otherwise, it just feels like there is no progress being made. But you are right, if I'm filling in a form or talking with someone, I never say I weight 146.1, 146.5 or 146.7, I always just say 146 or 147, so why have it on my spreadsheet. Food for thought, on my next spreadsheet change.

    @age_is_just_a_number Thanks for that. I thought about it and decided to leave the decimal for the weight average since that's how my scale displays weight. You are so right: if it didn't have that decimal, I wouldn't be able to visualize those small trends

    @age_is_just_a_number Ok, I think I got it now! Thanks for figuring that out. I was just reversing a spoiler under the quotation marks. Not hitting the paragraph symbol again (inside the paragraph symbol). Frustrating!

    I use my computer most of the time because I find it much faster for both reading and typing. But everything should work exactly the same on the mobile app.

    Try:

    1. opening/expanding the spoilers to see all the text in them
    2. highlighting all the text you do not want in the spoiler
    3. then you should see on the left the paragraph symbol like this: image.png
    4. Click the paragraph symbol, then click the second paragraph symbol, like this: image.png

    I've done a sample below:

    In edit mode two spoilers created looks like this:

    image.png

    Put the cursor within the spoiler, the paragraph icon changes to a spoiler icon like this:

    image.png

    To remove the spoiler, highlight the text within the spoiler warning area.
    Click the spoiler icon on the left, then click the second paragraph icon.

    image.png image.png

    Then the spoiler is gone and the text is back to a regular paragraph:

    image.png

    *******This the text I used in the example screenshots above. **********

    spoiler heading

    text within the spoiler
    blah
    blah blah

    second spoiler heading

    text within the second spoiler
    blah 2
    blah blah 2

    I just watched this YouTube video by Rebekah Matznick titled 'Your Brain Is Stopping You From Losing Weight (And How To Fix It)' (I've watched a few other of her videos, I have not purchased any of her services or products and have no affiliation with her). There is one comment about body type that I haven't found to be very consistent (I've done several of those body type quizzes and get different body types from different quizzes). But the rest of the video, I think is very on-point to the general 'vibe' we share here in the MFP community.

    Challenge Starting Weight: 144.9 lbs
    Challenge Goal Weight: 140 lbs
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 135 lbs

    More than ever, I need to focus on my health. I know what to do, I just need to work on consistency.

    Week 2

    Day 08—05/22—146.7  Oops. Too high of a fluctuation. Today is the day I get back on the wagon. Feeling motivated! 

    Day 09—05/23—145.9  

    Day 10—05/24—145.0  Did fairly well yesterday eating-wise with an emphasis on ‘fairly’. Also, hardly any sleep last night and my lower back is aching… all from this lingering, uncontrollable, dry cough. I hope to get lots done during the first half of the day so I can nap later. 😊

    Day 11—05/25—144.8  Coughed less overnight so I feel like I got a better night’s sleep. Lower back still aching though. It’s worse when I cough but I feel like it’s starting to get better. Need to clean the extra bedroom as we’re having overnight guests tomorrow. Hopefully, I’ll have the energy later today for a workout.
