Day/Weight/Comment
1/23: 218.6 @ 6:30am (meditated 15 mins & exercised 60+)
1/24: 217.8 @ 7:00am - body isn't sore, but struggling to push myself today. Planning to drink a gallon of water and try a new workout. 🤞 .... (exercised 60+)
1/25: 216.9 @ 7:30am - FAIL on the water yesterday, but found a 3 day flexibility challenge I'm gonna need more than 3 days for, lolololo. Exercise earlier was mostly cleaning but will get in a good walk at lunchtime. Dinner out tonight and Sunday so pretty much in party mode til Monday. 😜🍸💃 Have a great weekend everyone. Enjoy!!! (20mins meditation & exercised 60+)
1/26: 217.0 @ 8:30am One Year MFP Anniversary and exactly 61 pounds down! I also earned a new NSV at Red Lobster last night with amazingly only ONE cheddar biscuit people, lol ~ That's HUUUGGGGE!!!! Not only do I usually eat way more than I'd like to admit, I always took some home for later. Didn't happen!!! Everyone laughed while I picked on it like a bird, but like Judy Garland I sang "I don't care, I don't care .... " all the night long (no exercise or meditation today)
1/27: 216.6 @ 6:00am - 15 mins meditation & 60 mins exercise done. Have a great day everyone!
1/28: 217.0 @ 8:00am - uuggh, was expecting a bump after my cheat day yesterday so no surprise, but I am sick of seeing this number! Time for a reset!!! Keeping IF 16/8 but ditching Keto, going back to LC eating and starting a new 8 week plan to shake things up a bit. No looking back! [i\(30 mins exercise)[/i]
1/29: 215.9 @ 8:30am - 20 mins meditation only exercise today, though Donna has inspired me to get in a little shimmy shimmy before bed
1/30: 217.4 @ 8:30am – not sure, but thinking my weight this round is reflecting my emotions. I’ve been feeling so shaky and fragile the past two weeks, even the quality of my sleep is taking a hit with some awful dreaming. Normally awareness and self-reflection lead to correction pretty quickly, but I can’t even speak without fear of crying. JEEEZZZZ Louise I’m feeling as sensitive as old TOM. Will probably keep my mouth shut and my head down for a while, but know I’m still rooting for you guys. (50 mins exercise / 30 mins meditation)
1/31: 215.8 @ 9:00am - hallelujah.

Good luck and best wishes everyone!!17 -
MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 58 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
ROUND 24 FOR ME.
“I DON’T STOP WHEN I’M TIRED - I STOP WHEN I’M DONE”
Goals:
Weight:
Short Term Goal: Lose 2 pounds this round.
First Long Term Weight Goal: To weigh 175 by Valentine’s Day 💗💗💗 I hope to achieve this by losing about 1.5 pounds per week (or 2 lbs per round).
My Second Long Term Weight Goal: To weigh 155 by my Birthday on May 10th by sticking to my plan to lose 1.5 pounds per week (or 2 lbs per round).
My third Long Term Weight Goal: To weigh 145 by the 4th of July using the same plan as above.
Exercise:
During each Weight goal I plan on increasing my walking (back to what I did when I was on a downward trend). I also want to increase my cardio and regularly use weights to help firm my flabby arms.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/23 ….. 187.1 ….. This thing we always hear about it being hard to lose weight in the winter…. Well, they ain’t kiddin’ folks! It’s not just the holidays! It’s being stuck in during these snow storms & much much more.
01/24 ….. 186.8 ….. Yesterday was great. Right on plan. IF 18:6 Over six hours of sleep which is phenomental for me! 21 Net Carbs. 1062 Calories. 16,231 steps. 6.93 miles of activity. 13/13 steps hours on fitbit. I danced 53 minutes (my son danced 39 of them with me!) Sample song: Beautiful Loser by Bob Segar.
01/25 187.3 No dancing yesterday but I did get in a 35 minute walk. IF 16:8. 10,193 steps total. 4.34 miles. 12/13 step hours. 2301 calories burned. 4 hours 30 minutes of sleep.
01/26 ….. 187.1….. 14 Net Carbs. 1365 Calories. I burned 2604 calories. 13,363 steps overall. 5.71 miles overall. 13/13 step hours on fitbit. Slept 4 hours 23 minutes which is typical. My awake/eating window is bigger than normal due to such little daily sleep so I keep it in check with 16:8 IF. I aerobic danced 53 minutes. One of the songs was “Give credit where credit is due” by Meghan Trainor
01/27 …..186.9 ….. 12 Net Carbs. 1144 Calories. I burned 2549 Calories for the day. 13,155 steps overall. 5.58 miles overall. 13/13 step hours on fitbit. I slept an amazing 7 hours 57 minutes last night (which I haven’t done in years!) IF 16:8. I danced for 55 minutes. One of the songs was “Born to Run” by Bruce Springsteen. 01/28 …..186.7….. Fat is melting away in a slow drip but I’ll take it I had a Long work day yesterday but got in lots of steps, then a couple of sets of dancing later, some with son. Great numbers to report: 10 Net Carbs. 1040 Calories. I burned 2853 calories for the day. 22,158 total steps & 9.39 miles! Yay me! 13/13 step hours on fitbit. IF was at 21:3 because of late start eating & time restraints. I slept 5 hours 27 minutes. I danced for 150 minutes and my son danced 53 of them with me! One of the songs was “I Can’t Get Next To You”, by the Temptations.
01/29 184.8 Whoosh, there it is! Yesss….. Finally the dancing is showing up on the scale. Diet has stayed on point too. Keeping this momentum up has not been too difficult. I love it when I get to these strong points. It’s just a matter of getting through the weak ones first till you reach the other side! I hope this lasts awhile. 22 Net Carbs. 1264 Calories. I burned 2616 Calories. 16,584 steps & 7.05 miles. 13/13 step hours on fitbit. IF 16:8. I slept 4 hours 31 minutes. I danced 83 minutes. One of the songs was “Have you ever seen the Rain” by Creedence Clearwater Revival. It’s a bit of a different version on Alexa, but I like it. I played it on the warmup side of my set ( a couple of songs in the middle of the set are my fastest peak). I tried to get “When Doves Cry” by Prince but Alexa wouldn’t give it to me. Drats! Thanks to everyone for the nice comments, the likes, and the emails I’m getting regarding the dancing. I am so happy to hear that some of you have picked up the “habit” too. It feels good to give something back when I have taken so much from all of you. This is wonderful! And to @quiltingjaine : I’m another crazy person that puts my scale EXACTLY in the same spot on the floor for weighing. I understand our craziness. I, too, want to see the EXACT difference in my weight from day to day. Also, I wanted you to know that I had 2 TBSP of PB last night (like I did a few weeks ago), regular creamy Jif. Last time I marched an extra mile for it. This time I danced an extra bit at 11:00 PM for it which was more fun & went by quicker . Of course, I saved room in my macros for it! I needed a little bit of a snack & the PB offered some protein, not just all sugar like a cheat treat. I’m mentioning again so all the newbies can see that if we cave & have a LNS, we must choose as wisely as possible, then get up off our bums and work it off! Have a good day everyone!
01/30 …..184.8….. Holding Steady which is great after my dinner last night! Had a friend over to watch a Netflix movie which turned out to be pretty cheesy and not so scary afterall. NET Carbs 99. Calories 1906. Yikes. I burned 2551 calories. 12,284 steps overall & 5.24 miles. I slept 4 hours 26 minutes and got 12/13 fitbit step hours. I only lost the one hour when I was getting my haircut yesterday at the salon. I danced 43 minutes. No afternoon set due to hair and no makeup time in the evening due to my guest being over. But that was an extra 277 calories I burned so I’ll take it! Thanks to @quiltingjaine for the PB suggestions. I was hoping when the threw the brand name Jif out there someone would have a better idea! I am traveling today to the nearest small town for shopping & to stop by the veterinary clinic. I will check out your PB suggestions. If not, I’ll check Amazon. I’m worried about being out of town. We usually get Chinese since it’s something we can’t get near home & oh, my the bloat and water retention. We’ll see what happens. I’ll try to make good high protein choices and will slaughter any problems that arise tomorrow. Sample song yesterday was “Lightening Strikes” by Lou Christie. A golden oldie 50’s, 60’s song. His songs were always so fun to hear with the voice change. Have a great Hump day everyone!
01/31 …..186.9 Drats. I knew that Chinese food would rear it’s ugly head on my scale. I logged my food as best I could figure but it is probably not super accurate. Way over carbs & Calories. Not much movement as I was sitting a lot during travel. I burned 2186 calories for the day . 8102 steps total & 2.78 miles. 10/13 fitbit step hours. 4 hours 23 minutes of sleep. 21 minutes of very tired late night dancing but included a great peak song “uptown funk” by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars. A perfect dancing song to get the blood pumping. Pool Hall & potluck tonight which will make 3 days of social engagements in a row. Ugg. The Pool Hall usually means more carbs, less steps, less dancing and more sitting. But it’s nice to get out. Our governor has called Michigan a state of Emergency for consistent cold & wind chill temps 2 days ago. Last night emergency messages came on our cell phones asking us to turn our heats down to 65 degrees F until Saturday due to too much power being used by our power company that caused a fire at a power plant. No relief indoors now. Cold inside & out! Yikes. Thankfully, it’s supposed to be a very strange warmup this weekend, which will be a mess of sloppy mud & nasty dirt roads in our area. But at least warmer…..Today I’ll try to fit in a dance session before I leave. @quiltingjaine – I found the Smuckers Natural PB at Walmart. It was under $4.00 for the medium size jar. The only ingredients are Peanuts & less than 1% salt. It will be a nice addition for last minutes catch-up protein. I must go start car now & let it run. 3 days this week I have needed a jumpstart because of temps & I have a new battery! Stay warm everyone & keep moving. Try “Uptown Funk”. It’s a perfect song for that crazy dance person in you!

@hammycakes On gym days I drink extra water and have a chilled high protein shake in the car. Try that, if you haven’t, and see if it helps.
@MsBaz2018 Are you tracking your food? Is there a correlation between what you eat and the weight change 2-3 days LATER?
@deepwoodslady Glad you were able to find the PB. No refrigeration needed makes it easier to stir the oil back in but that cool house isn’t going to help at all! Wrap up and stay warm. Prayers are with everyone enduring that crazy cold!
@MyEvolvingJourney Welcome back! We look forward to seeing you in Round 67!

@quiltingjaine Yes I did track my intake as usual. Food scale and all. Ate back some but not all exercise calories. And in any case at 200+ lbs set for 1200 cals, even if I am off 20% it is still so far below maintenance it shouldn't have been an issue.
Anyway... In the long run it won't even matter. Hopefully I'll come back in Round 70 and have better success on scale. I'll just focus on following the program for now (logging faithfully and exercising) and lay off the scale for a bit.
Thanks for the support

5’7, female, 38 years old
SW: 210.8
GW: 140ish
R64: 207.8-200.8 (-7.0lbs)
R65: 200.8–200.6 (-0.2lbs)
R66: SW 200.6 GW 197.x
Daily goals: drink 100oz or more of water; no alcohol; stay around my 1200 calories; dedicated 1hr of exercise 8/10 days; 15k steps; 3k calorie burn via Fitbit
1/23: 198.8 - thank goodness! 🤩 Onederland! This was the woosh I was expecting all last round. Hit all my goals yesterday.
1/24: 198.2 - met, and exceeded, all my goals yesterday. Tried drinking 150oz of water, which is recommended for my weight by a lot of calculators, but had to get up 3x during the night, so I’ll stick with the 100oz still, which allows me to sleep through the night. I made oatmeal chocolate chip walnut cookies with the kids yesterday AM, and have so far resisted having one. Normally I would crave one for breakfast with my coffee, but sweet doesn’t sound *as good* in the AMs after trying to do high protein in the mornings for the last month (this is a great NSV for me!), and I know if I start my day with one, it could all go downhill fast. Also, I tried switching 1 of my coffees for 1-2 black teas over the past week, and I was getting headaches, so I am back to coffee with milk (the only time I ever get headaches, for the last 20 years, has been from lack of caffeine.)
1/25: 196.6 - whoa, totally unexpected, but I’ll take it! Had a stressful day, and got some very bad news. Hit all my goals, but didn’t eat nutritiously.
Also, today marks 1 month since I started. I’ve lost 14lbs total, have only had alcohol once (next round I’ll start adding it back carefully - I credit alcohol calories with a majority of my weight gain), feel like I mostly have a good and sustainable routine with getting to the gym (making it routine is always hard for me), and I have more energy in general. I think I’ve lost at least two inches off my waist, but I didn’t measure right away, so I won’t officially measure again until next week. My skin is the most noticeable difference too me - it looks great and glowing with all the water and workouts. This group has been super motivating and inspirational and I appreciate you all! Having a place to report in is definitely helping me stick to my daily goals more than I would have otherwise.
1/27: 197.0 - 😆 oh boy! This is why I didn’t change my goal weight for this round after getting in the 196.x. Was under calories yesterday, and had an extra active day with my kids (and a nap 🎉), but didn’t have dedicated exercise, only got 80oz of water, and my Fitbit needed to be recharged, so I imagine I was close on steps and calories burned but just don’t know for sure.
1/28: 197.2 - I expected this. Extra active day yesterday, hit all my goals, but food was high in sodium. Pre-made steak, chicken, and black beans to use for meals all week. I am feeling extremely anxious today about some projects I need to start/complete in the next day, so I hope I can handle them well. Hugs appreciated - my stomach is in knots over them.
1/29: 196.6 - Hit all my goals yesterday. Burned 1k on the elliptical according to Fitbit, without the gossipy neighborhood lady there to motivate me to work out hard 😆. Prepped lots of cut veggies and veggie dishes for the week, so should have very little food prep needed through the weekend.
1/30: 194.4 - whoa 😮 Hit all my goals yesterday, and was extra active with the kids (beach and bikes and basketball.) Pulled something in my neck sleeping funny, so did light elliptical and no weights at the gym. Also, officially down a jean size now - so exciting! Shopped in my closet yesterday. Can’t decide if I should just throw my big jeans away altogether, or save them for gardening.
1/31: 194.2 - Had kind of a blue day yesterday. Met my goals, but barely.

No the right direction. And the daily weighing isn't helping me. I'll finish this Round but I'll lay off the scale for a while in Feb.10 -
Also - for anyone who's posted pet pictures.......are you doing that via the MFP app on your phone or on your computer? I've seen a cat in a window, a cat in a lap, and a dog in a bed. My cat has been jumping from box to box and just sitting there. He's so cute! Wish I could share.
@SarahG626 - I used the app on my iphone 🐶🐱

@quiltingjaine Trying to stay warm as best I can. Schools have been closed for days & all mail delivery has been suspended for days. No Amish buggies or horses going up & down the roads. The bright side......It's so beautiful.

@FarmerCarla Saying prayers for our Nation & our Voters.

I have never had LNS trouble, but, I just discovered Oroville Redenbacher’s smart pop is 120 calories for half a bag/8 cups (so 15 calories per cup.)

Round 66
Day/Weight/Comment
01/23 222.4 lbs
01/24 222.6 lbs *sick, so no walking or exercise the past couple days. I met my daily goal for water intake and food, so I'm considering it a win.
01/25 222.2 lbs Slow recovery, so still no exercise today. But I'm holding steady with water and no wine. Hoping to get out walking tomorrow.
01/26 223.4 Yikes! Wrong way!
01/27 222.4 Back to the start, but ready to start exercising again. It's a gorgeous day for a walk outside!
01/28 223.4 How?? I had a great day; closed all my circles, drank all my water, 10K steps. My scale seems to love this number. My monthly goal was to lose 8 lbs, so I'm determined to get this down in the next 3 days!
01/29. 222.2. Finally moving in the right direction after being sick!
01/30. 221.0 Woo hoo! That number made me SMILE today!
01/31 219.8 . Met my January goal! This has reinvigorated me to keep it going!

Round 64 loss = 5lb
Round 65 loss = 3.7lbs
1/23 = 151.3 ugh, did not get in exercise, did not drink enough water. I'm still recovering from the flu and not happy about the progress stalling it causes. Setting a modest goal this round as I can feel the slow down.
1/24 = 152.4
1/25 = 152.3
1/26 = no scale available
1/27 = 152.3
1/28 = 152.8
1/29 = 152.5
1/30 = 151.2 this whole week has been a huge bummer. I can't make the scale move. I'm logging everything, eating within my calories. Not even eating junk. *raises fist to the sky* I really thought hitting 150 would happen this week, it seemed to attainable. I can't even get to a clean 151.
1/31 = 150.6 much better.

I made chicken pot pie (single crust) last night - delish! but too much fat (butter, cream...). So I believe veggie soup is on the schedule tonight or tomorrow night! On the plus side, I've been back to weight training for about 3 weeks now and have increased the weights significantly, so am happy to see that I hadn't lost all previous progress on the strength front. Note to women losing weight - take care of your bones during the process! Talk to your doctor about checking Vit D level and your possible need for D and K and magnesium, and keep up weight-bearing exercise. My last DexaScan (bone density) showed significant bone density loss, probably due to significant weight loss the previous 3 years. We have to take care of our bodies as we reshape them.

Last night I made a big pot of minestrone and had that with bread I baked a couple days ago. So good! Off to the gym and planning to hunker down tomorrow - minus 20 wind chill expected. Aaack! Stay warm if you're also in the way of this!
01/25 - 139.2 - 1802
Yep, it's cold outside! Not as bad as predicted, though, so I'll go to the Y. Did I mention I'm a cold weather wimp after 8 years on the southern coast of NC? ;-) Anyway, I'm back on track food wise, finally, and have channeled my baking urge into whole-grain bread instead of cookies and cakes. Better for us and I'm not tempted between meals!

Anyone else in the cold zones inclined to hibernate until March? I love early mornings Spring though Fall, but right now I struggle to get myself out of bed in the morning. My kitten makes sure I get up, though! >^..^< Have a great weekend, all.

I seem to have found equilibrium. I haven't averaged my calories the past couple of days, but my ave should be around 1750-1800 at the moment, and I'm getting away with that because I've increased my exercise. It will increase more when we get out of the deep freeze, but I'm fine with hanging out here for a little while. Speaking of cold, we're supposed to have wind chills of -50F!!!! on Wed., so I intend to stay home and write, paint, read, bake, & cook. Maybe even clean house a little. Anything to stay in! Stay warm and safe, all of you fellow arctic adventurers!
01/29 - 139.4
Just Hangin' out, er, in! Wind rising, temp dropping, more snow possible. Must be January!
01/30 - 139.2
It's -16F here right now, with expected wind chills of -45 or colder, but we're snuggled in. And what's cozier than a cat in a window?
01/31 - 140.2
I've been eating for warmth and under exercising since I see no good reason to go out in minus degree weather if I don't have to. It's ok - better weather and exercise are coming. In the meantime I'm getting things done at home, which counts for something!

Last round I finally reached that elusive 140's decade that had been haunting/teasing me for the last couple of rounds. I hope to see a new low of 147/146 this round and continue to drop my 10 day average. I do have a 3 day family ski trip this weekend, so I am going to try and work around that and focus on my goals. I do not ski (not coordinated enough for that) but everybody else does. So I do a lot of reading, people watching, shopping, and drinking in the lodge. This round ends on a Friday, which is usually one of my lowest days of the week. So I am excited to see how this round goes.
Last 5 rounds:
Round 61: sw155.0 Avg 152.25
Round 62: sw150.4 Avg 152.7 christmas eve
Round 63: sw152.3 Avg 153.08 christmas and ny
Round 64: sw153.3 Avg 152.15
Round 65: sw150.2 Avg 150.88
Round 66: sw151.0
Day/Weight/Comment
01/23 -148.8 Back to normal after my weekend blip. Doing good today and have my lunch and water mapped out. DH and I have dinner plans with all 5 of our kids tonight. It is really hard to get everybody together anymore now that they are so busy with there own lives. We are going to Red Lobster so should be easy to stay in calories as long as I stay away from the rolls. 2 more days and we will be on vacation.
01/24 - 149.4 Up just a bit probably from dinner last night. I cheated and ate 1 of the roll (worth it), other than that did great. Work half day today, then my son has an orthodontist appt and my daughter has a cleaning at the dentist. Tonight packing and getting ready for out trip. Will weigh tomorrow, but the hubby said the scale is not coming with us, lol. So no weigh in after that until Monday. Hopefully it's not going to be to terrible.
01/25 - 149.4 didn't do great last night. Had a left over roll from Red Lobster and 2 beers. Lol, DH and I started our vacation a bit early. The rest of the day was good and I had a low calorie dinner. Leaving in about an hour and will try and update, but won't have weights. Hope everybody has a great weekend and hope my weight isn't to terrible on Monday.
01/26 - VACATION - no scale
01/27 - VACATION - no scale
01/28 - 153.4 totally expected. No where near enough water this weekend and extremely tired. Our weekend vaca was so busy and over so quick. Had fun though and glad we got to spend time with the family. Drove home last night and I could tell I was dehydrated. Although I did sleep great for the first time since Thursday. This bump will be gone by tomorrow. Water, clean food, and sleep tonight are my goals. Looking to finish this month and 10 day challenge off right this week. Looking for my 147.xxx to pop up on the scale!
01/29 - 150.8 did well yesterday, so I expected a pretty good water weight loss. Tomorrow I should be back down to normal weight. No alcohol at all this week until the Super Bowl is my goal. Would love to loose 1 more pound by the end of this round. I have 2 weeks before we leave for Vegas, so my goal is to be 145 when I get on that plane. We will see if it happens.
01/30 - 148.5 nice! I'm back down with an extra couple of ounces. Did really well yesterday, no alcohol, tons of water, and ate under calories, so expected it to come back down. Now if I can just stay on track for the next 2 days and finish strong.
01/31 - 148.5 Nice ending to the month. Lost a total of 3.9 pounds for January, so I can't really complain about that. The closer I get to my actual goal the slower my progress gets, but that's ok. I will take what I can get. Stayed on track yesterday with calories and water, also day 3 of no alcohol or sugary drink of any kind completed. Hopefully will finish the round strong tomorrow.

Good morning from the rainy Central Coast of California.
Lovely to see everyone here. I took a much needed break from Everything, except work. I've been doing well with losing my extras and getting some workouts in. Christmas wasn't overly crazy, so I didn't have a big jump, only 2 pounds.
Last challenge weight was 135.0 on 12/23/2018.
Today's weight is 130.0.
I may participate in the next challenge because I really enjoy everyone here.13 -
