02/06- 61.60 ....Thanks Ben and Jerry 🙄
02/07- 61.95

need to refocus!
02/08- 61.65 - all week I've over-eaten sugar. The table of temptation at work has been bursting with cakes and I've indulged! I think it has been made worse by not enough sleep! 4 days off now so time to get back on track before the end of this round.
02/09- 61.60 - no snacking in the evening but had lots during the day

Good day yesterday, but it will take a few days to level out after a week of indulging. Have a good weekend!

02/03- 140 - 1761
On track yesterday, but oh, those time lags. Weather was gorgeous and I went for a long walk outdoors - yay! Going to be nice the next couple of days, too. I always think "day by day" through February. Enjoy your day!

02/04 - 139 - 1668
I'm enjoying this warmer weather we're having - more today, although rain expected this afternoon. So I'm off for a walk outdoors and then my weight training. Have a lovely!

02/05 - 140 - 2006
Sigh. But it's ok, I know why (duh - too many calories) and I'm working my way back down to a suitable level. I also slacked off on tracking the past few days so my 10day average is an estimate and I have a feeling it may be low. I've promised myself to get back to fastidious tracking. Off to the gym in a bit.

02/06 - 139 - 1433 - 10-day ave 1695
Yesterday was a good calorie day with good macros.

02/07 - 141 - 1748ish
Ok, some of that is water as I had some salty snacks last night. I just got back from a trainer session at the Y and added 4 more machines to my workout routine. Yeah, muscles!

02/08 - 143 - 1817
WHAAA??? OK, that's it. I'm awake. Exercise obviously isn't making up for increased calories, so back to basics for real. I know, I keep saying that... And obviously some of the uptick has to be water since we can't add fat that quickly, but still... I allowed myself 8 lbs over the holidays, and they are long gone and I'm up 10, so I have had a serious talk with myself and am grounded until I get back to 135 and then start down to my ultimate goal. Jeesh. (at least my clothes still fit!)

02/09 - 144 - 2012
Going the wrong direction. Everything was fine yesterday until the cheese sampler at an event I went to last night. Great cheeses from around the world. I couldn't not... But I did exercise, mostly weights yesterday, and I'm planning a good hour of "hill walking" on the treadmill in a little while. And less food. Really. And gallons of water to counter all the sodium the past couple of days.

02/02 204.6 saved my calories to go to Blaze pizza last night, it was sooooo disappointing, they don't have the same toppings, the service was awful....I hate when a meal is so not worth it!
02/03 204.6
02/04 203.8 Happy to be down. I think my body is adjusting to the changes I am making, and I need to switch things up. Not sure how I will do that yet, but thinking about it. Have good week everyone!
02/05 203.2 Lots of protein and water yesterday. Made it to kickboxing too.
02/06 203.2 I am not going to lie, I was a bit disappointed. I confess sometimes I weigh myself before bed, and see if I anticipate a lower number in the am.... I did, and it didn't pan out

That ok, not a gain... I will take it!

Lost down to 180 doing lazy keto last spring, but the summer vacations came and then the holidays
and I put all of the weight back on. I am going to be consistant with tracking my food...good or bad...and
get healthier this year.

Round 66 SW 198.8--EW 194.4

Day/Weight/Comment
02/02 194.2 Had some wine last night, but kept everything else on plan. Did not get any excercise. Today is a beutiful day, so my goal is 15,000 steps.

02/03 194.4 Walked 5 miles around the lake yesterday. Had some wine last night but stuck with my keto foods and was within my calorie count.

02/04 195.4 Walked 6 miles, fasted until 3, but apparently the cheese and nuts got me. Back on IBIH soup plan for the work week.

02/05 196.2 Don't know how I
m up, but I'm just going to keep plugging along.....

02/06 194.8 NSV I walked into our faculty meeting yesterday to a table full of chips, dips, snack mixes and king cake. I avoided all of it and just sipped my herbal tea. I've stuck with my plan and got 12,000 steps yesterday. Would like to see my hard work reflected on the scale....

02/07 194.6 so slow.........Hoping for a big drop in a few days. I'll just keep plugging along...

02/08 194.6 Still no movement. Walked 13,000 steps yesterday and logged 1100 calories. My body does not want to give up this fat!!!!

02/09 194.2 Back to where I started at the beginning of this challenge.

02/01 180.8

02/02 181.6 Sigh. In the past year, I’ve made very little progress. I’ve lost 10 lbs, then gained five and lost and gained those same five for eight months. To tell the truth, sometimes I wonder why I log and report on this site. Truthfully, the reporting reflects my effort. It’s not like I’ve watched every morsel or even made great strides with exercise. In the end, I suppose, keeping track has stopped my monumental weight gain in its tracks and that’s something. I have 50 pounds to lose, gained over years of raising kids, job and marriage stress and just plain having too many birthdays. While the actual weight loss has been a failure so far, I’m going to count my of my issues and stopping the rolling weight gain as a win. In April, I will start a new MFP year, let’s see what I can do by then.

02/03 180,6 Bouncy, bouncy bounce.

02/06 179.8

02/07 181.6

02/08 180.6

02/09 180.2 New determination today. Got results from knee tests. Some degenerative arthritis, bulging meniscus, fluid on the knee. No surgery required. Well … osteoarthritis runs rampant in my family, especially among the girls. Being the youngest, I have witnessed much, so now I have new incentive. I’ve been reading everything I can lay my hands on about osteoarthritis and I am ready to take action. Apparently, losing 20 percent of your body weight significantly relieves arthritis pain. For me, that is 34 pounds. I am going to double and triple my efforts, starting today.

I am a 50 year old 5'5" woman. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.

I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. I have been participating in this challenge since Round 40 My average loss/gain since Round 40 to 63 is a 0.5lb loss each round. This was better than I expected!

Hi-I’m Karen

I am jumping back in late because I have been caring for my dad after his knee replacement, and we are in the process of moving. I am home now, and will take my scale with me when I go back to my dad’s house. I have missed you guys!💚
2/9-165 I’ve been good and careful at my dad’s house. I was hoping to still be in the 160’s. I made Beet Kvass (easy)and drank some yesterday.

SW for round: 206.2 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
02/02: 206.2. Went out for breakfast and didn’t over eat (yay), but ended up eating too much sugar today. But only went over my calorie goal by 50. So not horrible but must make better choices.

02/03: 206.2 Had a slice of high calorie pizza, but I did keep it to one slice. Just made sure to stay close to calorie goal.

02/04: 205.9 Planning all meals today ahead of time to keep me on track. Working from home today so this should be easier.

02/05: 205.3. Planning meals ahead again. Ended up with a UTI which has kind of derailed me today. Ugh! Go to doctor tomorrow.

02/06: 205.8 UTI has me feeling sick. Struggled to eat enough calories which is definitely not like me! Get medicine from doctor and hope to feel better soon.

02/07: 205.3 Really struggling with not feeling well. Keeping up my healthy eating.

02/08: 205.5 Feeling a little run down from being sick but I’m hanging in there.

02/09: 204.8. Feeling better. Planning meals ahead of time is helping.

02/04. 195.4. I admit I earned the gain. Regular calories, and then a few chicken wings andthen nachos and cheese. Darn super Bowl!
02/05. 194.2. 😊.happy. Kept to plan, both with calories and water. A new low!
02/06. 194.0. Stayed on plan, drank my water and tried a new dinner recipe which was a hit. So good day.
02/07. 193.0. I had to weigh twice to confirm weight. On target for food, a little short on water.
02/08. 194.0. Food good, water good, but had a two glasses of wine. Can’t believe it would make that much of a difference.
02/09. 194.2. Weekend bounce! I can do really well during, now must rein in on weekends however.

Round 66 EW: 220.4 (-2)

Goals for R67: drink my water, close my circles, > 10K steps daily, journal my food

Day/Weight/Comment:

02/02 219.8 drank my water, closed my circles, > 13k steps. Off to a good start! In January, I didn’t really change my food, but I did drop alcohol for #dryjanuary and added in exercise. I wanted to try and incorporate small changes along the way that I could sustain. This month I will really start tracking food, and being aware of making better choices. 🤞🏻
02/03 219.6 drank my water, closed my circles, only 8K steps as I was in the car most of the day. About to go walk now, but is anyone else worried about overeating/drinking at the Superbowl parties? Thinking I need to plan for the number to go up some the next few days.

02/04 . 220.4 drank my water, closed my circles, 10K steps...but the Superbowl was so booooring that I ate my way right through it! Back on it today!
02/05 220.2 drank my water, closed my circles, 12.7K steps. Hoping to see a nice downward slide soon!
02/06 219.8 drank my water, closed my circles, 12.7K steps. Argh. Wished for more today!
02/07 219.4 **didn't get to update yesterday, but had weighed in.
02/08 219.0 a bit frustrated now that 7 days later all I've lot is .8lbs! But to be truthful with myself, my exercise has been great but I've had a couple big meals the last few days.
02/09 218.2 - Last night I was grumpy, didn't go to the gym, and drank 2 glasses of wine. Now this morning my scale has finally moved a bit and I'm so mad at myself!! LOL that wine is going to show up sometime! Back to the gym today! Happy Saturday!

02/02 - 328.8 - It was gain, but fluctuations happen.
02/03 - 327.4 - I'm happy with this. It's less than where I was a week ago.
02/04 - 327.2 - Woohoo. Inching down. Every little bit counts. I didn't do my strength training yesterday, but I did do an episode of Zombies, Run!
02/05 - 326.0 - Woot wasn’t expecting this big of a drop as I didn’t get as much exercise in as per usual. Looks like my body needed the day off.
02/06 - 325.8 - It's another tick in the right direction. I took a chance and put on a pair of a smaller pair of jeans than I have worn in awhile and they fit! I'm ecstatic! I didn't do either of my exercises yesterday. I did reach my step goal of 5,000. Today I have my pulmonary rehabilitation where I will get a workout in as well. It'll be a busy day.
02/07 - NO WEIGHT - I woke up with five minutes until I had to leave. So I woke up, dressed, didn't even stop to feed the cat on my way out. I went to pulmonary rehabilitation and worked my rear end off. I did treadmill, arm crank, NuStep, leg press and arm weights. I'm still walking during commercials now that I'm home. I have a longer walk to and from the bus due to the city doing something to the street right in front of the stop I usually use. I'm already well past my step goal.
02/08 - 323.6 - Woot! Did not expect this! I admit, I don't trust it yet. So, we will see what it says in the morning or two mornings. I did walk over 18,000 steps yesterday and stayed within my caloric goal. Today was a bit disappointing. I'm making positive changes, but for some reason my HDL has had dramatic drop. Hopefully it will recovering. But on the plus side of the day I walked from home to Transitions without needing to stop!
02/09 - 323.0 - I guess it's for real. Woot woot! It means I can likely fit into some of my older clothes that I lost the ability to wear over a year ago. I only walked over 8,000 steps yesterday, but still count it as a good day.

@puttyputty You say MANY useful things!

@tiabirdie56 Thank you for the link! I’ll be reading that when I finish here.

@MadisonMolly2017 Did I tell you that whenever I read your posts the cheerleaders in my brain are chanting, “Go Mol-ly! Go Mol-ly! Go Mol-ly!”

@IsMollyReallyHungry I hope you are okay. To answer your question, with about 1000 comments each round, I think I would just jump in anew. I’m going to be MIA for 11 or 12 days starting a week from Monday - mostly with no internet. I will not try to read every post.

So, here's my info!

5'3", 61 yrs. old, heaviest all time weight 198 (can we just say 200-ish?) 40 years ago! Got to and stayed around 155, and I feel like I've been on a constant weight battle my whole life! Aug. 2016 I decided enough was enough and took MFP seriously -- and got to 122! I felt GREAT! I am determined to get back there. I know how great it feels to just be lighter.

Current goal: To actually complete one of these 10 days challenges!

02/02 133.7
02/03 133.5 -- a small improvement (ha!) but I will take it. Superbowl food coming up... oh no! Does anyone just else eat the top off of pizza? (smile!) I'm taking lots of good veggies, low cal guacamole Trader Joe makes a great one with yogurt), fresh fruit, and yes, brie... I just want to be 133.anything again tomorrow.
02/04 -- did not weigh in
02/05 -- 135.0 After no sugar yesterday, and a 75 minute poweryoga class last night, done in 95 degrees (so hot! Felt great btw) I weighed in this morning at 135. Imagine what yesterday would have been! UGH -- that Superbowl party did damage. I'm going to stay on this no sugar thing....that will be my challenge to myself this week. 133, I miss you (smile!)

02/06 133.7 -- Yay! Great relief!! I woke up feeling lighter, and knowing that it was going to be at least a pound down.... now I hope I'm heading to the 120's. I am on day three of no sugar... not as hard as I thought it would be (yet!) I'm eating eggs for breakfast, raw zucchini and veggies for snacks, and lots of greens with baked chicken or grilled fish for dinner, herbal tea (I'm on a Yogi Green Tea and Blueberry kick lately) and a glass of red wine (always!). Hope to get in a poweryoga hour tonight.

2/7 133.7 -- no change. BUT -- I'm six days in, and I'm still here! Only four more days to go, I'm still sugar free (except for the wine -- is there sugar in cabernet? ) and I'm feeling lighter. Skipped yoga tonight for a long walk with the dog. Had a mix of steamed broccoli and cauliflower tonight for dinner and it was delicious! Looking forward to weigh in tomorrow.

2/8 133.7 -- no change again -- and another day of no sugar.

2/9 133.7 -- YET AGAIN! This is getting hard now.... and yesterday, I totally had sugar -- FOUR of those little sea salt soiree dark chocolate bites from Ghiradelli -- but I'm back to no sugar today!

Ending Weight Round 66: 153

02/02 152.6
02/03 151.6
Last night I was looking through photos on phone. Wow, am I thinner than 15 months ago. I checked my weight back then, and I can’t believe I’m 40lbs down.

But the really amazing part was looking at photos from May 2018. I look so much leaner. Again, I checked, and I’m about 20lbs down. This is notable because my Inner Critic has been saying “See, you’ve barely lost anything since April.” NOT!! I look - and feel - light years better. Kicks that voice to the door!

Then I decided to take my
Measurements - basically ALL of them. LOL
Measured waist holding it in & natural, for example. Amazingly, my hips have gotten smaller. I guess muscle does take up
Less space! If someone had told me this was even possible, I would have said “no way.”

Very happy. If you are mid-weight loss journey, I beg you to keep going. You will not believe how much better you will feel - and look. My goal all along was to lose enough that I felt good about myself and would be willing to fight to maintain it.
It will likely take another 5-10 lbs, but I’m not giving up. I’d like a 30 inch waist. After seeing my hips shrink smaller than I could have ever imagined, I’m beginning to my believe waist will actually trim down too.😇

02/04 150.8
02/05 151.6
02/06 151
Wasn’t going to exercise or eat a good dinner last night (tired, slightly under the weather), but my habits kicked in. I just couldn’t not do my daily exercise & get that calorie burn. Wearing my regular clothes lol , I took my sketching supplies & said just do 20 mins (thank you UAC!). Drew a couple of portraits- better than usual - I might need to add a desk top to ex bike...😛 And then looked at my stats...calorie burn not high enough. Finished with HIIT for a total of an HOUR. Then ate nutritious dinner - berries, small lean pork, a Doctor Kracker Seedlander cracker, cut raw veggies w/ some balsamic vines and a touch of olive oil & a big cup of tea. Hardest day I’ve faced in over a year, and I did it. Happy that scale came back down.
Shooting for 150 by ♥️’s Day.
02/07 151.2
02/08 150.8 ❣️A huge NSV for me: four years ago I bought a cropped jacket with a matching scarf in France that I hoped one day I would be able to wear unbuttoned over a shirt. This morning I was looking for something in my closet to wear that fit (recently my “thin” clothes have been baggy - a surprise for sure). I saw the dry cleaned jacket & scarf & thought well maybe it will fit, unbuttoned... well it fit perfectly buttoned!!!! And the scarf I had planned to use to cover my middle looked really bulky. As I was typing this, I realized I can transform the scarf into a blouse! This is actually my biggest clothing/related NSV yet ❣️#grateful #GRATEFUL *happy tear*[/b]

02/09 150.8 I do best with moderate meals 3X a day! Seems to regulate my appetite!

Now shooting for 150 lbs to see what I look like since 151-152 is much better than 155.
