Oh hey! Nice to meet another fellow hooker lol. Heart scarf sounds super cute - I also really like making scarves and hats because they just work up so fast.MaelynMayhem wrote: »I hooked (crocheted) and made progress on my heart scarf that I am making just for me.

Hi, My name is Joan. This will be my first round.
Age- 60 years young.
Height-5’3 1/2”.
OW-156# - Oct 2016
Hit Maintenance goal weight -125#- June 2017.
I set a goal weight range of 125-130, for myself. My weight’s been creeping back up. Jan 2019-135. I Do Not want to regain weight lost as I have in past; because I feel SO good at lower weight!
I just can’t let that happen!
This challenge sounds like just what I need.
CW-132.4
GW for this 10 day challenge-130
2/12-131.6. First drop in 3 weeks! “Happy Dancin”
2/13-132.4; slept crappy last night. Did the Nighttime snacking thing. But not out a control. Still under my daily cal limit. Gotta stay on plan with my eating today. My weakest is when I’m very tired and not feeling well.
2/14-132.6, weighing daily is stressing me right now. Been working hard. Hope to see a better number tomorrow.
2/15-133.0– scale is making me crazy!!! Absolutely no good reason for going up! But Im determined. Im going to do a alternating daily calorie goal to hopefully break this plateau and work on getting my water in better. IF is not an option nor Keto for me. One positive, I was so ticked this morning; I did a 45 min HIIT workout before coming to work.
2/16-131.2!!!! Go figure. Still going strong. I will succeed 😁

Round 68. 4th round for me. 51 female; 5'2"; Mum of 2 grown boys; wife of 1;) Live in San Diego, formerly of Zimbabwe and Zambia.
This challenge:- stay focused; keep tracking and stay accountable....ooooh, and be honest with tracking!
Mini goal:- 164 - into 'just fat' and out of obese.
Mini goal:- 160 - just a nice round number - and hopefully me not looking so round!
Goal:- 134

Round 68 SW 166.2
Day/Weight/Comment
2/12- 166.2. 60 mins 'fat burn' on treadmill. 21K+ on Fitbit. Calories and tracking in range. Constantly feeling fatigued - work is doing a number on me, looking forward to 4 day weekend.
2/13- 166.2 Did not exercise this morning. Pouring rain and more tomorrow, so no trail walking for me this weekend - treadmill is getting tedious
Calories a little over but tracked it all.
Also ordered a Fitbit Versa last night, updating from my Charge 2. Hope it's a good buy!
2/14- 165.6 60 mins treadmill but 21K steps after a chaotic day at work. Valentine's day with kids is interesting - added to that, severe rain storms on and off all day. Exhausted!
2/15- 165.4 90 mins treadmill. Rain stopped, long weekend off - yay! New Fitbit Versa working great...love it so far.
2/16- 165.8 90 mins treadmill. Calories over today - not making good choices

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 - 180.6lbs - going down again cold finally improving, thankfully.
02/13 - 180.4lbs - slowly slowly. Feeling much better. In the annoying stage where I have an almost constant tickle at back of my throat making me cough loads lol
02/14 - 179.8lbs - Wahoo! The 170s. Let's hope it sticks.
02/15 - 180.2lbs - oh man! Slow going this round!
02/16 - 179.8lbs - back in the 170s. Let's hope it stays this time. Off to FIL and step MILs house today. She always puts on a delicious cooked breakfast spread. However, she is doing slimming world and she knows I'm dieting so shes said she'll do a slimming world friendly brunch. Not sure what that will involve but hopefully I'll have some calorie wise choices I can make.
02/17 - 180lbs - Greer. So frustrating. Wont stay in the 170s! Brunch yesterday wasn't healthy lol. It was all the usual stuff, she just hadn't fried any of it. Which helped, but didn't provide any healthy choices lol. So I just limited my portion to keep it under control. Also had a low calorie dinner to limit damage. Went over calorie goal still, but not by much and still in a calorie deficit overall. I expect the small jump has more to do with salt content. Swimming this morning with daughter. She is doing so well at the moment and being really brave about trying new things. Its lovely to see

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 - 201.2 (4296 steps) Monday was a halfway decent day. No exercise. It was pouring rain so I skipped the grocery store and went to Wendy’s for a "drive-by dinner". Grilled Chicken sandwich and apples slices. Small bit of LNS but I was in bed early. Still pouring rain today. Hope to have the energy to grocery shop and meal prep tonight after work. Ugh!
02/13 - 202.0 (7461 steps) 34 minutes on the bike (7.03 miles) Tuesday I made it to the grocery store (both of them) and did not have any gumption to do any meal prep. It was pushing 7pm by the time that I got home. I do plan to do some tonight. Usually, once I get going, it goes pretty smoothly. I am so ready for summer and warmer temps plus being able to walk outside. This weather just makes me want to hibernate and eat! Bad combination
02/14 - 201.4 (7072 steps) 39 minutes on the bike (8.04 miles) Wednesday I did do SOME meal prep. I did 2 meals with shrimp and couscous (those are for home b/c I don’t want to stink up the office) and 3 meals with steak, brussels sprouts, and blue cheese (2 for work and 1 for home). I still have 4 pork chops that need to be cooked and I might make some Knorr Rice Sides to pair with those. That should get me through the weekend.
02/15 - 199.4 (7069 steps) 27 minutes on the bike (5.73 miles) I had planned to do more but next thing I knew it was after 10pm. I survived the office potluck AND a surprise family dinner at Applebee’s. My goal is to attempt to see a ONE on tomorrow’s weigh-in too. I seem to see it only 1 day and then it’s gone. Small steps. My overall trend since 1/1/19 is going down. I’m happy to see that.
02/16 - 198.6 (7086 steps) Friday was a good day. Work meals were light so I was able to treat myself with Jimmy John’s. I skipped the bike and went to bed early.
02/17 - 198.7 (7553 steps) I rode 2 horses at the barn yesterday for about 1hr 15mins worth of exercise. My eating was okay until after dinner. I binged on cheese. OMG I love cheese! I was exhausted so I went to bed at 7:30. That probably saved me from really going off the deep end.

02/12: 204.7 Having one of those days that I want to eat a *lot*. Which means I’m not hungry but want to keep eating. But I’m fighting it and so far so good. Thankfully this doesn’t happen often.
02/13: 203.7 Back on track today. I’m 10 lbs down from my original start weight. Yay!
02/14: 203.7 Thank goodness cravings are gone. I’m happily skipping the candy this year. We had some at work and I was able to say no.
02/15: 203.0. Feeling good. Going to have some temptations tomorrow since we are going to visit relatives out of town. I’m just going to plan for a little extra calories and get right back to my healthy WOE the next day.
02/16 203.4 Ate some peanut butter which I know always moves the scale up a bit.

02/13 180.8 Hmm I adjusted my calories slightly to see if that helps. How long do you normally give it before making adjustments? In the 20 days I’ve been back to using mfp I’ve lost 1.2 pounds.
💗02/14💗 179.4 Woo hoo! Back to round 67 start weight! We're on a budget this Valentine's Day, so we're celebrating at home. I'm making a steak dinner tonight. 🙂 Have a great day everyone!
02/15 179.4 Stayed within calories yesterday and macros were a bit off to enjoy valentine goodies, but overall it was a good day!
02/16 178.8 Was off yesterday and I'm back work for the weekend. Have a great day everyone!

Hi, My name is Joan. This will be my first round.
Age- 60 years young.
Height-5’3 1/2”.
OW-156# - Oct 2016
Hit Maintenance goal weight -125#- June 2017.
I set a goal weight range of 125-130, for myself. My weight’s been creeping back up. Jan 2019-135. I Do Not want to regain weight lost as I have in past; because I feel SO good at lower weight!
I just can’t let that happen!
This challenge sounds like just what I need.
CW-132.4
GW for this 10 day challenge-130
2/12-131.6. First drop in 3 weeks! “Happy Dancin”
2/13-132.4; slept crappy last night. Did the Nighttime snacking thing. But not out a control. Still under my daily cal limit. Gotta stay on plan with my eating today. My weakest is when I’m very tired and not feeling well.
2/14-132.6, weighing daily is stressing me right now. Been working hard. Hope to see a better number tomorrow.
2/15-133.0– scale is making me crazy!!! Absolutely no good reason for going up! But Im determined. Im going to do a alternating daily calorie goal to hopefully break this plateau and work on getting my water in better. IF is not an option nor Keto for me. One positive, I was so ticked this morning; I did a 45 min HIIT workout before coming to work.
2/16-131.2!!!! Go figure. Still going strong. I will succeed
2/17-130.4!!!! Now , that’s a reflection of my hard work, YES!

Round 66: 177 (-2.6)
Round 67: 176.6 (-0.4)
Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 / 178 this morning / I'm not discouraged. It's an odd jump so I have a feeling that it will be coming back down soon. My goal for this round is 175 lbs or a little lower. I'm focused and ready.
02/13 / 176.2 / I knew a drop was coming. I just hope I can continue on this path. I've been trying my best to do the right things this round. Worked out last night so needless to say, I'm satisfied.
02/14 / 176.6 / Ate a few too many chocolate chip cookies yesterday. They're one of my weaknesses. I also definitely did not drink enough water.
02/15 / 176.6 / Ended up being only 40 under my calorie goal yesterday. I finally bought another controller for my Xbox 360, so I was able to play my Zumba game with the Kinect. Ahh.. I really missed that game. I know I burnt a lot of calories yesterday so I'm hoping to see the weight start coming down soon!
02/16 / 177
02/17 / 176.6 / Ughhh.. So frustrated with seeing 176 & 177 every day! I have to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Round 67 ~|~ End goal: <164
11/02: 165.0: Goals: Gentle exercise after my intense 2 days of strength.
Not sure if the stall/increase is because of weekend food choices, increased strength training, or both. It's sometimes a trade-off situation when one decides to work on muscle toning. Looking forward to Round 68.
Round 68 ~|~ End goal: <164
12/02: 165.1: Gaols: ✅ Hmmmm... Still plateauing. Under calories but a relative rest day after Monday exertions.
13/02: 165.1: Goals: Do grocery shopping, gym session, 9000+ steps ✅. Didn't get to gym, but did some circuits at home. Fitting in the gym is problematic this week.
14/02: 164.6: Goals: Well, there it is again! Planning a Leslie Sansone HIIT workout before I head out this afternoon✅. Did w/o plus some flex/strength. Ate most of my exercise calories on Valentine's dinner 😂 so will definitely be holding water in the morning!
15/02: 164.9: Goals: 1 hour gym session ✅ plus some walking later on today. Got in several walks outside between meetings. I'm wondering if the gym session will lead to water retention again.
16/02: 165.2: Goals: Lots of walking playing ingress with my daughters ✅ Over 270 minutes walking, 21015 steps.
17/02: 164.9: Goals: Rest day after yesterday.
THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

02/17 - 256.6(-3.4). Nsv . Yesterday we celebrated hubbys birthday. He wanted Chinese he got the usual Chinese buffet I got the steamed beef and broccoli no rice. I still wanted an egg roll and crab Rangoon but stayed strong. I did have a sliver of cake my daughter made but it worked out ok. So glad I maintained strong.

Day/Weight/Comment
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!)
2/14 - 142
I gave in to an urge for CheezIts last night, so salt + extra calories. Why does nibbling accompany creativity? (I'm starting a new book in a new mystery series, so I really, really want snacks! And I was writing in the back of my friend's watercolor class - creative energy everywhere - and there's a vending machine down the hall and I had just enough change and....)
Time to make myself some baby carrot + hummus packets, I guess! But I digress....Today I will try valiantly to resist whatever Valentine temptations show up today - maybe one truffle? - and try to focus on other expressions of love besides (shhhhh - whisper -- chocolate...). I started baking (a new-to-me obsession) before Christmas and I'm still at it, learning to bake yeast breads among other things but I'm trying to channel the urge into soups and such. Last night I made a delish chicken/turkey pot pie, cutting the calories WAY down by using almond milk, half the butter, and skipping the bottom crust. Still comforting on a cold, raw, windy night, but only 350 calories/serving. I've never been very domestic so I don't quite know what hit me! Off to the Y to burn some of it off. Have a lovely!
2/15 - 143
Chocolate. People brought chocolate to painting group last night and I apparently no longer have any self control. then I needed something salty to counteract the sweets when I got home, so cheese....Extra time at the gym today maybe? Salad? Seriously, back to paying attention. This must stop!
2/16 - 142.4
Today's a challenge -- barbecue chicken fundraiser for lunch and a "soup & games" night with friends, which will, of course, offer more than soup. But hopefully I'll get to the Y to work a little of it off. I'm actually a bit surprised that I'm holding steady considering how much I've been eating. And although I have since reset my goal to a lower number, my original goal was 140, +/- 2 lbs, so I'm not too far out of bounds. But I'm channeling my kitchen urges into lightening up favorite recipes. I should just stay out of the kitchen for a couple of months - my hubby is much more lean with his cuisine. Have a great weekend, all!

I'm surprised, since I snacked a bit at the soup gathering last night. But I did stick to the vegetable soup, which was delicious. So I'm still hoping to be down a bit more by the end of the round. Enjoy Sunday!

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!
