Everyone keeps saying I will get adjusted to the new normal, but I'm not liking it at all right now.
I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks @quiltingjaine for sending a message to check up on me. You knew what had happened without me saying a single word. You just noticed my absence. I appreciate that you reached out with your support and condolences. It means so much. You're the reason why I'm back this morning...doing these challenges again.
Round 23 SW: 166.8

11/20 167.6 Housework all day
11/21 167.6 Back to work for the first time since Mom's been gone. It was a really hard day for me, and I just wanted to come back home.
11/22 166.8 Going ahead with Thanksgiving preparations for Mom's side. I don't really feel like celebrating, but I need to do this for her.
You've been missed. Thank you @quiltingjaine for checking up on our girl.

11/21 - 149.4 - not too bad considering TOM came calling yesterday...
11/22 - 149.8 - I'd hoped to lose a bit to get a cushion between the 140's and Thanksgiving but...alas, it is not to be thanks to TOM. Oh well...not gonna let it rain on my punkin pie.
11/23 - 148.8 - there's my cushion...a little motivation to control myself somewhat today so it doesn't completely evaporate.
11/24 - 148.8 - Went over calories of course because the there was pie in the room, but did the elliptical before dinner, took a walk after dinner, and drank at least a gallon of water.

I would think about you but be in the middle of something. I told you we lost my FIL 25 years ago. There are still things that make me cry even after all these years - a remark he made in his hospital bed with all of the family gathered round and singing Amazing Grace, his favorite hymn - but there is a New Normal, as you said. You will find it. Cherish the memories.
Absolutely no need to feel sorry. You were a lifeline when I didn't know that I needed one to get me back on track. You don't know how much I appreciate you.2 -

Sorry for your loss, it's a difficult thing at a difficult time. Try and enjoy those around you and recall all the greatness of your Mom and memories of her around the holidays.
Thank you. I really appreciate that.1 -

11/19 - 65.5kg - Big blow out with friends on Saturday and TOTM. Still, thought I was out of seeing the 65s! Grrrr.
11/20 - 65.1kg - Still seeing the effects of Saturday and my big Sunday dinner
11/21 - 64.4kg - Back down to my usual bump for hormonal water retention. So so bloated.
11/22 - 64.2kg - Slowly slowly back down. I want to see a 63 in there tomorrow! Had a bit of a stress eat yesterday but managed to do a bit of damaged control. Today is another day!
11/23 - 64.1kg - Still feeling like I have a brick in my stomach. Had a snack attack again last night so I am going to add a snack in for afternoon tea and see if I can avoid raiding the cupboards before dinner tonight.

11/19 173.4 Went out last night with the hubs and decided to get dessert after. Wound up eating above maintenance and the scale shows it.
11/20 173.4 Went for my second day of maintenance calories yesterday to help out the hormone levels. Back on my deficit today, and all week until a cheat meal on Thursday!
11/21 172.4 the weekend weight is all gone. I ate 3 oreos yesterday but was still within 5 calories of my goal, lol. hoping to see a bit of a drop tomorrow~
11/22 172.8 sigh. I have been eating a bit more than usual but nothing crazy. body fat was down on the scale which sometimes means I'm holding water. guess we shall see tomorrow
11/23 174.4 Wha? this was a weird weigh in.
11/24 175.6 not so bad considering the trend. I ate what I wanted, but no where near as much as I would have before. Plus I really on had the one meal, as I was cooking in the morning and driving in the evening. looking for a drop tomorrow- drinking all the water today!

Back again! I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. For this round I'd like to get below and stay below 140. Started at 162 something back in early March so I'm down over 20 pounds but haven't lost in a couple of months. I am aiming to reach goal of 132 before New Years. It's been verrry slow the last couple months.

11/23...140.8 Did 75 min on ellip, no wine for 3 days, ate sensibly and within limits, surprised weight didn't drop.
11/24...1418 50 min ellip ... way too many carbs yesterday with Thanksgiving.

RD 21- Avg Weight: 121.1

RD 23- goal avg weight: 119.8
I have 2 thanksgiving meals to go to this round and my cousin's wedding, so my goal is to maintain the same average weight this round as last round.
11/19: 119.8- This is a jump up of a lb from yesterday, but I'm really feeling my strength workout from yesterday so I think that is contributing a bit to the increase.
11/20: 120.4- Eating wasn't great yesterday as I bought my nemesis, tortilla chips, at the store.
11/21: 119.4- Not excited to see the scale tomorrow I had movie theater popcorn for the first time in 6 months. And it wasn't even as good as I remembered!!
11/22: 119.8- Well it went up but it could have been worse. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I'm looking forward to the turkey and mashed potatoes.
11/23: 119.8- Mashed potatoes yum
11/24: 119.4- I had a wonderful Thanksgiving #1 with my family. I ate all my favorites but logged it and tried to not stuff myself. I'm off to Thanksgiving #2 with the in laws today. They have deep fried turkey.
Currently averaging: 119.773 -
Ready for another round! Live has been crazy with this new job so I'm hoping to find some way to work exercise back into my daily routine. It's been really hard to get back there again.

11/21 213.6 - Getting better. I hope it keeps going.
11/22 211.4 - Alright! Now let's see if I can stay down over the holiday weekend.
11/23 211.6 - Not to bad
11/24 213.4 - I'm OK with this given I was stuffed after Thanksgiving dinner. Morning average is still going down, so it is fine.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 251.8 -- One pound less than yesterday. Rather than save calories for evening snacks, I made sure to eat all my calories during the day and finished with supper. I didn’t stay up until the wee hours and I didn’t do any late night post-diary snacking!
11/20 250.2 -- Lowest yet. I will continue getting all calories eaten by the end of supper. If I don’t start to eat after supper I don’t need to figure out how to stop at a time of day (late evening) when I’m least in control of my eating.
11/21 251.0 -- The scale is toying with me.
11/22 252.8 -- Over ate with reckless abandon yesterday and this is the result. It was fun but as my mother says, “Them that plays pays.” Back to controlled eating today.
11/23 251.6 -- A nice controlled day yesterday. I must remember to weigh portions today. We’re having pot roast at hubby’s request and that can’t really be measured ahead of time. I’m going to be looking for listings like “chuck roast, braised.” Happy Thanksgiving!
11/24 252.0 -- After yesterday’s immoderation, eating-wise, this is to be expected.
11/25 No eating after 9 p.m.!
11/26 No eating after 9 p.m.!

I've decided that I am going to eat at maintenance/refeed for 2/7 days a week, which is why I am going to start using my average weight. I want to offset hormonal changes that occur when losing weight for extended periods of time that can make it harder to lose and maintain weight and I'm hoping to alleviate potential emotional stress of constantly being in a deficit.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/19--221.5 2lb increase over yesterday. I hit the trifecta of temporary weight gain--ate at maintenance, did not drink enough water, and worked out. Eating at maintenance today. I'm going to do some stretching today to help with the soreness from my kettlebell workout.
11/20--222.6 Temporary weight gain from eating at maintenance yesterday. Going to kettle bell again tonight.
11/21--222.0 Temporary weight gain from the hard work out yesterday, I am so sore, and lack of water. Today is rest day and making sure that I keep hydrated.
11/22--221.7 Still sore. Just a reminder that when you start working out you will show a temporary weight gain and your weight loss will slow for awhile. Going to kettlebell tonight. Goal is to stay hydrated today.
11/23--220.6 I am surprised that my weight went down after the tough ketttlebell class yesterday I thought I would still be retaining water. Going for a long walk today and then going out later for Thanksgiving dinner.
11/24--222.0 One day of eating above maintenance, now back to eating at deficit.

Age 60, 5'4" [lost 1/2" somewhere, not the measurement I wanted to lose]
SW 195 [joined MFP Nov 2015, lost 9.5# & got serious Jan 2017]
1st Goal 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
2nd Goal 145 = normal BMI
UGW Range 140 - 145
I weigh first thing in the morning when I get up. My scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Comments reflect prior day. Previous round EW 162.0 LW 162.010/20/17 / Started Round 20: Oooh, I like this thread! I've been weighing myself daily since April, keeping track in MFP Food Notes, and logging my "official" weigh-ins on Saturdays. I've been amazed at how much my weight can fluctuate from day to day, depending on eating out or processed foods, adult beverages, net calories green or red, etc. Daily weigh-ins really help me see cause and effect with high sodium, too much sugar, etc. I don't get freaked now by a jump on the scale, since I know what I did to cause it, and what I can do to change it.

11/19 - 158.4 ... (10,145)
11/20 - 157.6 ... So I think the loss is due to getting back on track with my steps (13,169) and mostly water weight. yippee!! I survived my first 2 get together advents of the season. Goal is to stay with the 5's
11/21 - 158.6 ... Still a 5!! (15,488 steps) Didn't pack a lunch but still ate well. Wasn't overly hungry but got in 1200+ calories. Working hard at trying to get it together so so busy and it's not 'gonna' slow down anytime soon.
11/22 - 157.6 ... (15,200 steps) Had cake, no idea how many calories it was. So shaved off some lunch items and had a light dinner. Got my walking in and forgot my salad dressing this morning.
11/23 - 157.7 ... (12,700) Just made my steps, hit cal goal and packed a lunch. Busy day at work filled with donuts, specialty coffees and STRESS... Happy Thanksgiving to all US friends, hope you enjoy the day, have a great dinner with family and friends and whatever happens just get back at it tomorrow!!!
11/24 - 157.0 ... (19,160) Pizza day at work. Do I opt out or just get a small piece? Extra STRESS today as SO is driving half way across the country (Canada) in a rig with landslides, road closures and winter/rain conditions. Need to hold my breath for 3 days!!

@mrsharmon622 my daughter and I are doing lazy Keto. We didn’t count carbs but we had Keto friendly foods. She did make a special request item for her college age son and regular mashed potatoes for the non-ketoers as well as cauliflower mash for us, and I made homemade dinner rolls. She was going to eat ONE roll until I figured out the carbs — 19.8 g per roll! Holy cow!! We just passed those up. Honestly, I was afraid if I ate one it would be all over and I wouldn’t be able to stop. I’m so glad I stuck to our plan! Only up .5# this morning - a normal bounce!
@ineedtomakethiswork Time to change something up?

11/19 150.0 I got on and off the scale 3 times to make sure this was real! I even took a picture! So excited because the last 4 days have included 2 potlucks and a buffet at Golden Corral for my husband’s birthday and lunch today with our daughter and her family.
11/20 151 This is okay. It occurred to me that I accidentally fasted from our meal on Friday until Saturday evening. I was visiting with a friend who is moving and realized when I got home that I had not eaten anything all day. I may incorporate a one day a week fast into my plan.
11/21 150.5 Bouncy bouncy
11/22 150.0
11/23 149.0 What a wonderful Thanksgiving with our younger daughter and her family!
11/24 149.5 Not bad at all after Thanksgiving. Didn’t stuff my self but was quite satisfied. When I thought about having some dessert in the evening I had a piece of turkey instead. This +0.5 is a normal bounce. I’m happy with it.

R22 * Start = 143.4 * Ave = 141.9 * Min = 140.2 * End = 141.2 *
ROUND 23 Start = 142
11/19 - 142.0 - ran 30 mins yesterday and under calories. This is the bounce, I get it.
11/20 - 140.4 - ran 33 mins yesterday, plus 2 mile hilly hike and under calories.
11/21 - 140.6 - calories almost even with .5 loss plan yesterday, small hike but that's it.
11/22 - 140.6 - major calories-in mess-up yesterday, over maintenance by a couple hundred. Felt sick and emotional much of day. Holiday approach without contact or plans with 22-yo daughter is kicking my *kitten*. No workout.
11/23 - 139.8 - woot first 130's weight since over a year ago!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Yesterday, ran and ate well under calories. Today, I plan to run and to eat at or below maintenance.
11/24 - 139.6 - Ran 4.25 miles yesterday. Healthy gourmet dinner, every dish (except the lobster) had something from his garden in it. Calories 200 below deficit.

I'm in for my second round if that's ok
Round 22 start weight - 151.40
Round 23 start weight - 145.80
I'm aiming to finish this round about 143.50.......
11/19 145.70 - only 0.1lb down but happy as its the weekend
11/20 145.80 - that 0.1lb has gone back on again but really happy as it means that I have effectively maintained over the weekend which is always a big thing! I know its wasn't fat gain but often used to "gain" 2-3 lb over a weekend so a good start for me for R23
11/21 146.00 minimal 0.2 lb on - don't know why as drank usual amount of water, did my 12 mile cycle ride, ate within my calories. But I am effectively maintaining which after my losses in the last round which were so much more than I thought, I am happy with. I am still 5.4 lbs down from where I was two weeks ago - yay!!! Non scale victory today though - put on a pair of trousers for work I haven't worn for a few weeks and they were so much looser so whatever the scale says today I have definitely lost inches so all good!!! Good food day planned and 1hr PT session tonight
11/22 145.1 -0.9lbs. Obviously last 2 days were a weekend backlash (although not totally sure why - can only be my Sunday apple crumble again!). I'm in the UK so no thanksgiving for us but a night out with the girls on Friday for chinese so salt likely to play a part over the weekend - must remember to keep drinking plenty.
11/23 144.8 another .30 lb gone. Feeling motivated at the minute - not sure why or how or whats different? Maybe its coming on here every day and "checking in" and seeing everyone else's comments - not sure. But feeling motivated, feeling good.
11/24 144.80 so STS. Chinese with the girls tonight - intending to stay focused and not go mad! Also driving tonight so alcohol not a problem - going to drink plenty of sparkling water

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 225.1 So sick. Eating everything! Don't even care right now. Tomorrow I will do better. Today is better than yesterday, but still struggling to control myself. I hate being sick, and slide back into bad eating habits to comfort myself.
11/20 225.1
11/21 225.5 I'm forcing myself to look at this number and see where I'm heading. Hoping for the wake up call to finally go off again.
11/22 222.9 Much better! Hoping to still manage to get to my end weight from last round. With Thanksgiving around the corner, I feel that may be a lofty goal, but I'm going to try!
11/23 222.9 Here we go, it's going to be a temptation filled day!
11/24 222.9 Managed to get through the day without gaining anymore weight!! Now to get through the weekend! Let's see if I can drop this down some.
