2/12 - 142
Iced in this morning but I'm hoping to get to the Y this afternoon for treadmill/bike time. I did my new weight training routine with several added machines yesterday - it now takes me 40 minutes. Feels good when I'm finished!
2/13 - 142.4
I didn't make it to the Y yesterday - didn't make it out of the house! - but I'm going now. I ate responsibly yesterday. All good. (Will be better when warmer weather arrives!)

Round 66 EW 149.9 (-1.4)
Round 67 EW 149.0 (-0.9)
My weight loss has decelerated, and it going to be a long push though these next ten pounds, I imagine.
2/12 147.6 I expect this to go up slightly tomorrow, didn't eat nearly enough yesterday and went to bed super early. But, it's a new number on the scale! My goal for today is to hit my protein goal. I have my first jiu-jitsu competition on Saturday, I'm super nervous, and I need to eat well leading up to it so I don't die.
2/13 146.7 I hit my protein goal yesterday (small victories) and worked out twice. My first jiu jitsu competition is coming up on Saturday. It is very small and only three women in my bracket. But still feel nervous. I'm going out to lunch to celebrate the anniversary of my first date with my husband. Need a strategy because I don't feel good about a "cheat" day right now.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12: 225.2 @ 6:00a – I am always happy to start the new round at a lower weight than I ended the previous one at! I am pleasantly surprised particularly because my water intake was not quite where I would have wanted it to be! I have a good routine for my mornings that has helped keep me on track, and I have not succumbed to eating some of the tasty, goal-challenging foods that have moseyed their way into my house, lol. On and off the scale wins!
02/13: 225.2 @ 6:45a – I stayed largely on plan with my eating yesterday, and I got a lot of stairs and steps in. I expected a worse scale result than this, though, as I did have my last meal extremely late and was still not where I wanted to be with water. The major challenge for this round is also turning out to be sleep, courtesy of super dry nights and a beautiful baby girl who happens to react as poorly to those conditions as I do! I’ll be getting a larger humidifier and switch up my water schedule to help both of those things. In the meantime, I’ll take the maintained number!

Takeaways from this round:
13 -
End of Round 67 - 321.4 (-7.4 lbs)
Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 - 322.6 - Eh. It's a fluctuation most likely from water. I don't mind it as long as it doesn't become a trend. I'm trying a new worksheet that my dietitian gave me to go off of for this week and see how it goes. It is designed to maximize my nutrition or my calorie intake. Overall I am feeling stronger, better, and more energized. I'm good and for the first time in a long time I can say that and mean it.
02/13 - 322.0 - So, yesterday was a rough day. I had a binge, small, but a binge and I was fine until I saw the numbers, then I wanted to purge. I cried and just saw myself ballooning to 600 lbs and more. Ed was screaming in my head to purge, purge, PURGE. Instead I spent the day doing self-care. I ditched the exercise as I couldn't trust myself to not take it to an extreme, so I rested. I hooked (crocheted) and made progress on my heart scarf that I am making just for me. I decluttered my tables in my living/dining/exercise area. I spent time snuggling with Alex the Mighty (see profile picture). I watched shows that I enjoyed on Hulu. I went to bed at a decent hour.

@leni1us When I get up on the morning the first thing I do is go to the throne room. The scale is right in front of me so I don’t forget to weigh. My view from the throne-
It seems to work. I saw the scale, jumped on it, wrote down my weight and jumped in the shower. Got dressed and then got on the computer. My new routine for the morning.

Hi-I’m Karen
Sept. 2018 OSW 187 (My Round #1)
UGW 135.....yes, 135!
I am taking care of my dad and am in the middle of moving. The good thing is that I am doing all of the cooking at my dad’s so I am in complete control of our food. I brought my weights and my scale with me and my dad has a recumbent bike I love riding. And I brought my sewing machine!!!!
2/12-167-When I got back to my dad’s house yesterday, there were Girl Scout Cookies and banana bread people had brought him.....I just had a taste of each and walked away.....and rode the bike.
2/13-168-I’ve been drinking my Beet Kvass I made and it’s salty. I have been riding the bike but I am also sitting a lot and sewing (and having a few beers). Today I am going to drink water and do the bike ride in the evening.....
Have a good round everyone!💚10 -

Trying out some new exercises (signed up for rock climbing!) this time, hopefully everything goes smoothly. Thank you for starting this thread
Note: I weigh-in in the mornings for consistency, so my comments will be more or less about the day before. Cheers!

Result of round 68: -X.X lbs11 -
allmannerofthings wrote: »Haven't been doing very well lately. Got completely derailed on the last round. I am up 9 lbs from my November low and back over my never cross line. I've been trying to figure out why I am having such a hard time with staying on track lately. Partly it is the winter blues and the reduction in activity when it is too cold or too icy to go out. Partly it is that I still have some lessons and skills to learn. Thinking back to my 230lb self I have learned portion size, I have identified some trigger foods, I exercise regularly now and would not want to stop. I enjoy my increased strength and mobility. I no longer eat in response to sadness or anger. BUT I still eat in response to exhaustion /sleep deprivation and anxiety. When I am exhausted I feel weak and sorry for myself. When I am anxious I am restless and unfocused. So I need to work on better recognition (before the mindless eating begins) and an alternative coping mechanism. I am thinking maybe breathing exercises and maybe a mantra or a prayer. Today is almost over but will try this tomorrow.
TLDR. Still an emotional eater
RSW 181.4
@allmannerofthings I find myself in the same exact spot. About 9 - 10 pounds over my November low. The holidays & the winter changes in my activity have got the best of me. I have lost the same 5 pounds over & over & am getting nowhere. But I too, like you NEVER GIVE UP. The first thing that one must do is to recognize their triggers and what eats away at their resolve. It sounds like you have done that beautifully & skillfully so I KNOW that you are on your way back to where you want to be! I personally have added the dancing as an indoor activity I can do in my very snowy area (no gyms within 60 miles of home). I am DETERMINED not to have to change my ticker to less weight loss so I am fighting my way back too. My clothing got a little snug again & I decided that I am not quite as thin as I was, but I CAN BE. I am here for you & together we can beat the holiday damage AND THE WINTER BLUES. Lets smile knowingly (because we do know what to do) and get this done together. Just being aware of what is happening to you inside & out is your biggest tool. Your second biggest tool? Well that would be ME and ALL THE OTHERS on this thread. Lets get this done!

@deepwoodslady and @aFit50 Mrs. Maisel is only through Amazon Prime, isn’t it? Donna, I’ll be gone the last 4 days of this round and the first 7 of the next! I’ll still keep notes in my phone and post when I can but will not be able to use my app as we’ll have no internet. It’s a good test of my self control!
@IsMollyReallyHungry Consider doing IF from 8PM to noon - you will be asleep about half the time. If LNS is a problem, you will have to get rid of the “bad” things you snack on.
@SarahG626 I only use the weight tracker (graph) and this message board on MFP. What do you mean by the “regular MFP world?”3 -

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 = 218.2 (+1.2), BF% = 18.3 (+0.1). I'm going to call yesterday "an extended weekend." It started by eating out (Thai) at a place I know I should not have. I had something "keto-friendly" for dinner, except my wife "convinced" me (I'm going to stick with that for now) to have a slice of bread with it, which turned into two. I snacked a little mindlessly at one point. And I ended the night with 4-5 mini ice cream cones from Trader Joe's (if you know what they are, they're delicious). I'm owning what I ate, even if I didn't log it last night. I'm really trying to stick with this again, good or bad. Writing this right now is some serious deja vu. I'M STILL HERE!!!
02/13 = 217.2 (-1.0), BF% = 18.2 (-0.1). Just in case I was trying to forget, holidays suck a little bit. Valentine's Day means candy is everywhere. Someone put a Godiva dark chocolate assortment in the break room at work, and I had some (a little more than I planned to). Everything else for the day was okay.

@quiltingjaine I hope you will have a great & memorable time in your travels. It sounds wonderful! Yes, Mrs. Maisel is on Amazon Prime TV. It's now in season 2 and has won a few awards. It's fun to watch! I keep my Prime for shipping, TV & my Alexa Dot. With prime I can request individual songs instead of just shuffling artists' whole albums or whole radio stations. It's nice to be able to keep just the perfect songs with the beats I want all in a row. Enjoy that Vacay. We will miss you.
@abowersgirl I thought we were missing some of your posts! The thread is getting longer for sure, but that means more people to support us and more ideas we can use! I try to open it up a couple of times a day so I can read the posts a little at a time. It's easier than playing catch-up for me because I do not always have large stretches of time. It looks like you are doing good. I am so happy to see that. I, on the other hand, am still battling November & December but I know I can get back in my own good graces. Stay well, my friend. We love you here on Just Give Me. And tell Mom hello.6 -

Short Term Goal: Lose 2 pounds this round.
First Long Term Weight Goal: To weigh 180 by The end of February I hope to achieve this by losing about 1.5 pounds per week (or 2 lbs per round).

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 …..185.4 ….. Yay me! It finally budged but I had to go to extreme measures to get a jumpstart! That was actually easy since I woke up with a bad cold & didn't feel well most of the day. Today I will get the carbs & calories back up to plan & try to keep this ball rolling, especially in light of Valentine’s day this round which will include multiple meals outside of my home and we all know how that ends with me. But I’m working on that weakness. Travel at the end of the round for some overnight medical trips will not allow me to do the last few days weigh-ins (unless weather causes me to cancel trip). This will be a tough round but I’ll do my best. My stats for yesterday: 708 Calories in / 2648 calories out. Net carbs 7. IF 16:8 A total of 19,105 steps which included a planned walk. 8.22 Total miles for the day. 13/13 fitbit step hours. I danced for 37 minutes & I walked indoors at moderate pace for 69 minutes. My sample song was “Footloose” by Kenny Loggins. A great high-paced peak song. Good Luck everyone on this round.
02/13 .....185.2..... I had to cancel an out of town Dr. Appointment today due to weather. We have gotten 11” of snow since yesterday afternoon into today. No school again for my grandkids. I wanted to pump up my calories over yesterday’s post, but it was an all day & evening phone day so I was way under on everything again but so distracted my stomach stayed satisfied. I will try to bring my calories up again today a bit. Yesterdays stats: 848 Calories In / 2454 Calories out. 11 Net Carbs which was mainly my Cauliflower Rice casserole. 14,440 steps & 6.11 Total miles. I spent a bit of time briskly walking up & down long hallway (on purpose) during some of the calls to get my steps in. IF: 17:7 I completed 13/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 5 hours and 11 minutes which was very refreshing. I walked 50 minutes & danced 44 minutes. Sample song was “Lighthouse” by Ziggy Marley.
02/14 Valentines Day luncheon with Friends followed later that night with Pool Hall Potluck featuring special V-Day desserts. Wish me luck!

This challenge sounds like just what I need.

@deepwoodslady Thank you for the support. This group really is a great source of encouragement. yeah my clothes are getting snug again too. I feel badly checking in here if I haven't been following the program, but then I miss the group which adds one more reason to get back on plan. 8

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 159, not a great start to Round 68. I think my salt intake over the past few days caught up with me. Today is another day so I am not going to be too discouraged. I ordered Plated for this week and the calories count are really high, especially for my height and intake. I made their Steak Quesadilla yesterday and the serving size was 960 calories. I cut my portion in half so calories were within the 1360 I could eat, but I was still very hungry. I order from meal subsciptions around once every month, but took January and December off because of the holidays, so this was the first time I have cooked with them on a diet.
45 minutes of exercise, 11771 steps, 64 oz of water
02/13 158, good drop after eating well yesterday. It's raining heavily today so hoping to make it to gym after work. Officially no longer obese, just overweight so pretty happy to see 158. My next mini goal is 157.6 (15 lbs down) and hope to get there soon!

@lemonita12 If you are tracking what you eat, look back 2-3 days to see how foods affect your weight loss. I realized this time lag several years ago and find it interesting.
@jaccimc63 It’s funny you mentioned your client. I was just thinking yesterday about the anonymity of this board. What are the chances I’ll ever see anyone who posts here? Then I realized that I am really looking forward to meeting @puddlegoober in California this weekend! I hope we are able to do that.
@MyEvolvingJourney Based on CICO, you have to eliminate 3500 calories to lose a pound. Of course, hormones, salt intake and many other factors affect our weight daily. Carbs greatly affect my weight so if I really cut back, I usually show a loss in a day or two. Foods take 2-3 days. Truly fat loss takes longer.
@MarisaMSimon One of our grandsons will be 18 on the 19th.
@leni1us YAY!
@deepwoodslady Thank you, Donna. My last weight post will be Sunday morning but I’ll try to check in Monday from the hotel.
@allmannerofthings 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.8 -

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

02/12 – 162 – There goes the bloat of the last few days, yay. Did not go to the gym but made it through the day OK yesterday. Draggy again today but don’t have to go anywhere except drive DH to work.
02/13 – 161.8 – No gym today as still feeling off, although much better. Will get my exercise shoveling out the car so I can go pick up DH from his trip. Glad our driveway is short.

About me: 62, 5'7", hit maintenance in March 2018 but, typical yoyo, currently bouncing way over original goal weight of 130.
GOALS THIS ROUND:- under calorie goal 9/10 days: 2/10 so far
- over 8K steps 9/10 days: 1/10 so far
- three strength workouts: 1/3 so far
- four cardio workouts
2/11 for continuity - 135.4
2/12 - 132.6 - under calories yesterday. Whew, it was food and water I was carrying lol! Was not feeling well yesterday so light on steps.
2/13 - 132.4 - way under calories yesterday, my fitbit didn't sync till the last minute! Yesterday 10K steps and a 25 minute video workout: heart rate was high and muscles are sore, so I can't decide if it was cardio or strength
