Away for the night for work. (No scale for the morning, I will weigh in on Monday) today's goal increase water and exercise.
* (I amended my gw for this round, so very happy to have joined- I expect now that I am less bloated I will lose more slowly.)

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine. - John C. Maxwell
My goal for 2019 is to get into ONEderland. Changing my life.
Plans:
- Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target 70k steps per week
- Drink more water (target min 64 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
- Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018)
- Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
- Drink less alcohol (4 AF days per week; ~16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

R65: 241.6 (- 1.7)
R66: 237.7 (- 3.9)
R67: 237.2 (-.5)
Round 68: My focus is to continue tracking streak, reduce snacking on poor choices, drink more water and be active every day in some way shape or form!
Posting weight each morning, and comments for the previous day.
2/12 - 236.5 - walked 2+ miles, bike 15 min, steps 18144, cleaning house & yard, 48+oz water, track, V, AF.

2/16 - No scale @ camp, walked the county park 2+ miles, 48oz water, track, V.
2/17 - No scale @ camp, fishing, no other exercise.
2/18 - No scale @ camp, fishing, yoga standing poses & standing pushups on boat LOL, track, V. I know that I’m gaining back all that I lost … with the lack of exercise and snacking … cannot treat our regular trips to the camp as a vacation! I think when I return I’ll be bringing a scale to keep there.

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. ✅
18/02: 165.1: Goals:
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.

02/12 ~ 214.7 @ 4:30 am
02/13 ~ 214.4 @ 6:30 am
02/14 ~ 213.8 @ 6:00 am - pulled a muscle on Sunday, so haven't been doing much more than walking and stretching. Yet slowing things down appears to be working in my favor, lol ~ if it continues will definitely have to rethink some things. Happy Valentines ❣️
02/15 ~ DNW today. Accepted the best thick and creamy grilled cheese and tomato sandwich as a treat last night and didn't want to see it on the scale and possibly regret it, lol. Had a great night sleep, started T25 again, (although modified at about 70%), got in a good walk, some stretching and a seated abs and arm workout. Getting in a lot of movement and being mindful of food calories, but enjoying this lovely long weekend.
02/16 ~ 213.2 @ 5:00 am - Stretching, cleaning and 30 minute walk at home video already done. Attending "The February Cousins" birthday party tonight, so planning to eat light and drink plenty of water today to try and offset all the yumminess available later. Have a great day all.
02/17 ~ 218.3 @ 10:00 pm. ~ WTH?!?!?! 5lbs in 40 hours is ridiculousness. I don’t think I’ve ever gained this fast, but too late for regrets! I am however, 100% certain these food combinations will never EVER be repeated.

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!

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!
2/17 - 142
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!
2/18 - 142.2
Boy, I hate when I hit Done instead of Post Reply after I type an update on my iPad. You'd think I'd learn! Anywho, off to the Y for a workout and then to a lunch talk on bees. Pasta lunch, but I have salad lined up for supper. Have a great start to the week, all!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 217.0 Happy to be starting here - round 67 was good to me! Ready to put in the work to keep this going!
02/13 216.0 Today I’m on a field trip and dinner out. Praying for the determination to make good choices!
02/14 216.8 Ouch! Dinner out last night was mexican - Chips and queso gets me very time!
02/15 215.8 Added a couple glasses wine for Valentines Day, so that might show up later this week. Managed to increase my exercise yesterday, and determined to be good all weekend.
02/16 216.2 Dinner out - more chips and salsa, and a couple skinny jalapeno margaritas. 3 days off now, so double the exercise to get this back moving in the right direction. Happy Saturday!
02/17 215.2 Good day yesterday! Hit the gym, watched my eating, and went to listen to a band last night so was able to burn more calories while dancing along. My next week is pretty quiet so I'm hoping to see some good results.
02/18 216.0 Ouch! Big dinner last night, but I had hoped my workout would have levelled that our some. Hope it melts away quickly. Only three more days and I was hoping to see 214.x!

Know how much of a challenge giving up smoking is .... especially first few weeks. The trick is replacing the hand to mouth motion with something less harmful so you don't gain too much. Mini altoids / tic tacs helped me and are a good way substitute without too many calories. Just keep at it, you'll get there. Good luck friend!! 11 -

Round 67 EW = 141 lbs ; ∆ = -2.2
Goal: finish day 25 of the 30 days of yoga challenge; walk 8,000 steps a days; start jogging (maybe?)
Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 - 140.4 lbs ; yesterday went great! I walked 8,000 steps and completed day 15 of yoga, ate just under calories.
02/13 - 139.4 lbs ; yoga and10,200 steps yesterday ☑️☑️ Super excited to be in the 130's. I can see my goal in sight. I have started taking a long walk after lunch to go get a diet 7-up at 7-Eleven, it's working as motovation!
02/14 - 140.8 ugh back up to almost where I started. I just can't regain that .2 lb. Yesterday I did fine with food but I was very sedentary because it was pouring rain, so I didn't go for a walk and I had the day off. Tonight I have a date, as it's v-day. I'm gonna have some Thai food. So actually I probably will gain back that .2 (plus more). But that's ok I want to enjoy myself. But I will still do my best to track.
02/15 140.0 lb suprised by this loss, but I'll take it!
02/16 140.0 lb. Yesterday was such a challenge. I was so tired from the night before. I have been really failing my step challenge because of this constant rain.
02/17 140.0 lb. Well I seem to be at a stand still. I thought I did everything right yesterday. I walked 10,000 steps ☑️ I completed day 21 of yoga with Adriene ☑️ I ate just under calories ☑️ I drank water ☑️. I call it all a win and I'm proud of myself. I predict these last 5 pounds will be tricky to lose. I might need to start jogging to really see results.
02/18 138.8 lbs ‼️oh yeah I was more than ready for this whoosh. So grateful! Three hours before bed I drank like 32 ounces of water, so I'm going to keep doing that to see if that helps with my water retention.

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!

Not too bad considering the last few days were completely void of trying at all. We were out of town at a Flyball tournament and while ate pretty bad due to fast food and restaurants all weekend we did get a ton of steps in. My Fitbit crashed so not sure how many in the end sadly but it was all good fun. Looking forward to getting a bit back to normal for the upcoming week.9 -
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.
02/14 - 322.4 - TOM hit! 2 weeks late, but finally hit. This isn't that uncommon with PCOS. Feeling bloated and kinda blah today. I worked really hard in pulmonary rehabilitation today. I have three more sessions and then I'm done. I will graduate into my insurance's program for health in a gym. I get to choose between Planet Fitness and the YMCA. YMCA is within walking distance and Planet Fitness is just a short hop away on the bus. So, not sure which one I'll go with. I'm nervous about today. I'm going to a potluck and going to try and not freak out if I eat more than I should. So, yeah.
02/15 - 323.8 - Well, I guess the potluck got to me. I did overeat. I have no idea the total ingredients. I thought I did okay. Also with TOM no idea where my weight will finally end up being. My official weigh-in is coming up. If it is a gain, it's a gain. I'm not thrilled with the idea, but I'm getting comfortable with being okay with it. It is a part of life and my choices. I had an emotional moment this morning and had more milk than the dietitian has allotted for me to have according to this worksheet. It's lunch time, and I am going to have a nice, savory salad with grilled chicken. Life will be just as okay with gains as with losses.
02/16 - 320.4 - WHOOOOSH! Well tomorrow is my official weigh-in. I wasn't expecting this loss. We'll see what tomorrow says. I ate well yesterday. I hit most of my protein goals. That is my weak spot in my diet is hitting my protein. I can get the others just fine. I need to find ways to incorporate more protein in. I also did two episodes of Zombies, Run which was fantastic! I wasn't feeling beat down by the end of each episode, but pretty good. I'm getting stronger each day. I might try to do two again today and some strength training.
02/17 - 319.6 - Yay! I mostly stuck to the dietitian's guidelines yesterday. I had more dairy than is on the sheet. I'm doing better with finding protein choice; so that was higher yesterday. I did two episodes of Zombies, Run! yesterday. It's definitely got my attention at this point in season; it's been interesting since the first episode but lately, just wow. I may end up doing a couple of them again today to find out what's going on next. I had to do them in my apartment as there was people in the community room; so my cat spazzed and started to dart about the apartment. It was cuter and hysterical at the same time.
02/18 - 317.4 - WHOOSH! I was still over on dairy yesterday, but for the first time I hit my protein goal. I should be able to repeat that again today. I did another episode of Zombies, Run! I got my water back in order. I have a couple of appointments this afternoon, one with my psychiatrist and one with my therapist. I need to clean on the apartment a bit. I feel good today.

02/16 DNW - overslept - but I did start my day with a workout.
02/17 179 - ate poorly on Friday, did ok yesterday just a little over cals and no junk - also got some food prep done. I like to cook but I don't really like the planning and advance prep - but it is much easier to stay on plan if I do it - I really need to exercise more discipline on this.
02/18 -177 ate on plan yesterday and took a 5k walk in the cold, but this much of a drop is probably due to late weigh in.

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!

2/12: 19x.x - Didn’t weigh today. Missed you all! Dropped off at the end of last round. Was out of town and flights were cancelled coming home. Back again - ready to get back to my health routine. Hope I didn’t gain too much while away - I made healthy food choices, and didn’t have more than 2 drinks a day, but didn’t track at all!
2/13: 19x.x - Forgot to weigh again 😩 Still stuck in the snow. Not meeting my goals. I am getting back to it tomorrow! Gah! Scared to step back on the scale.
2/14: 193.6 - Phew! Was so nervous about weighing after the last week. It could be worse, and I know I am retaining a lot of water right now from TOM. Maybe I actually lost weight on my trip 😱.
2/15: 191.2 - Happy dance! I am now in the “overweight” BMI and not “obese class 1.” Kids go back to school today, husband comes home from work trip, gym here I come!
2/16: 190.6 - I have now lost 20lbs. Only 50 (+/-5) to go! I keep a list of different types of milestones and it’s really motivating to cross them off as I go. Crossing 2 off 2 days in a row feels unreal.
2/17: 189.4 - New decade! I hope to never see the 190s again
2/18: 189.6 - Too much salt, not enough movement. Glad it’s the start of a new week - easier to stay on routine on weekdays.

ROUND 26 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 180 by The end of February 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 160 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 150 by the 4th of July using the same plan as above.
Exercise:
During each Weight goal I plan on doing cardio in the form of dancing at aerobic levels whenever possible. I would also like to walk as much as possible although walking outside is impossible for me this time of year.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 …..185.4 ….. 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….. 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 …..185.4….. Plans for today: Stats: 1061 Calories In / 2492 Calories Out. 16 Net Carbs which was mainly Keto friendly Jalapeno Poppers to help me pump up my calories. 13,144 Total Steps & 5.58 Total Miles. IF: 16:8. I completed 13/13 fitbit step hous. I slept 5 hours & 41 minutes. I walked indoors for 20 minutes & danced for 22 minutes. Sample song was “Last Kiss” by Pearl Jam . (The remake of the oldie). I’m planning a fun day & night. Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!
02/15 ….. 189.0….. Whaaaat????? Yes, I doublechecked it I know I ate over calories & carbs. Too confusing to count. But 3.6 lbs overnight? Hopefully some of it is water so I will work on that today. Calories Out 2344. 10,513 total steps & 4.48 total miles. I did not IF due to afternoon luncheon. I completed 13/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 5 hours & 15 minutes. No time for the dancing yesterday, but I did walk moderate pace outside in the freezing cold for a planned walk which was 41 minutes
02/16 …..189.0….. I still deserve this. Shame on me! Over on calories & carbs again yesterday on an “at home binge”. Likely from the hunger caused by the carbs from V-Day (the day before). Disappointed in self. Hard to count the foods but I know the carbs were well over 100 & the calories were likely over 2000. My best guess is that I stayed within CICO but nowhere near my plan. My calories out were 2394. 10,164 Total Steps & 4.3 Miles. 13/13 fitbit step hours. IF 17:7. I slept 6.39 hours which was likely a sugar crash since I rarely sleep more than 5 hours. I woke up very tired & groggy, feeling like I needed even more sleep. It feels like it’s going to be a miserable day which I have only caused for myself. The junk I ate does not make me feel good. I did get in 25 minutes of aerobic dancing. Sample song “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees which had the perfect beat. Tonight is movie night. A friend is bringing over “Aquaman” which I have not seen yet. I’m a big Superhero fan so this will be good. I will not be eating the popcorn or icecream sundaes.
02/17 …..189.0….. Thank goodness it didn’t go up. An unplanned out-of-town shopping trip found me eating my dinner at a restaurant. I could have made a bit better choices. Movie night found me eating some icecream afterall. Not as much as the others, but I broke my promise to myself. I hope all this does not end up showing up on the scale. Lots of work, as usual, on Sundays so I will be getting lots of steps in. Yesterday stats are too few to figure (again) but best guess is calories around 2000 and carbs over 200 (darn icecream). Calories out 2248. 10,548 steps & 4.4 miles. Completed 09/13 fitbit step hours due to car rides & movie. IF 16:8. Slept 6 hours & 4 minutes, probably a sugar crash as this is way longer than my usual amount. I did fit in a dance yesterday afternoon for 22 minutes. Sample song “Respect” by Aretha Franklin. I hope today to be a better day. Eating carbs creates an uphill battle for days following so I shall bare that burden today.
02/18 …..188.8….. Long day at work yesterday. No chance for exercise or dancing. I didn’t even get a chance to log all my food but I stayed mostly to food plan. Fitbit information: 2448 Calories Out. 12,188 steps & 5.17 miles walking during general work cleaning the cabins. IF 16:8. I slept 4 hours & 48 minutes. Lots of travel coming up which is not good. More derailing. As stated on day 1 of this round, this is a tough round to stay in check for me. Food prepping today so I will have things ready when I get home. Making room in my freezer today. More cabin cleaning so I should easily get my steps in. Have a good week everyone!
02/19
02/20 No Weigh. Away from home in travel.
02/21 No weigh. Away from home in travel. I will also be away at the start of the next round so I will use my last weight (Feb 19th) as my end of R68 & my start of R69. I will continue to log my food on mfp & will post to this thread if/when able.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/17 It’s 5:26 in the evening and I weigh myself in the AM so I’ll report on that one tomorrow, but I’ve decided to do this because I’ve been eating unhealthy while sitting on the couch recovering from foot surgery. We will see how it goes!
02/18: 154.4
I overate by 450 calories but I’m trying not to beat myself up too bad considering the amount of exercise/walking I can do is pretty much 0. I haven’t gained as much weight as I thought I had. My broken foot happened in Dec 2017 and my surgery wasn’t until Dec 2018 thanks to insurance so I feel like going from 129 to 154 is bad but not as bad as it could’ve been after being a virtual couch potato for a year and a literal one for two months. Yes I was walking on a broken foot for a year, people seem shocked by this but it’s true. Here’s to LESS overeating today!

Day/Weight/Comment
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. Glad our driveway is short.
02/14 – 162 – DH brought home chocolate. My cals. were low for the day (at that point) and did not eat it all so was only a tiny bit over.
02/15 – 162.2 – Feeling back to normal. Caved and bought some fancy ice cream yesterday which made DH happy. I had ½ cup which I can manage and keep within cals. The trouble is the cravings that starts – maybe I should do a “test” and see how many days it takes of not caving till the craving goes away, lol?
02/16 – 163.4 – Well, there’s the chocolate and ice cream. At least I have 6 days to beat it back down.
02/17 – 163.4
02/18 – 162.8 – Off to the gym today. Seems like forever since I’ve been there.

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.
Round 68
2/11 129.0

2/15 128.5
