JGM10D ~|~ Round 85
Posting weight and comments each evening.

Age: 73; Height 5’2”; Female
SW: 227lbs (Mar 2014)
LW: 153 (Oct 2016)
Aim for 2019 ~ reach 155 💐
Aim for each round ~ Weigh less at the end than I did at the beginning
UGW: 153

I am FOCUSED on heathy food choices and DETERMINED to achieve my goals!

01/08: 167.8: Goals: 🌻 Have been steadily discarding holiday baggage since Saturday. Slowly but surely, it's shifting.
02/08: 167.8: Goals: 🌻 Holding steady is good.
03/08: 167.5: Goals: 🌻 Oops! Yesterday was a typo. I have fixed it.
04/08: 167.4: Goals: 🌻 Still in the right direction.
05/08: 167.2: Goals: 🌻 Little by little! 😂
06/08: 167.4: Goals: 🌻 Normal fluctuation. Balancing muscle increase and weight loss is difficult. Lol!
07/08: 167.4: Goals: 🌻 Holding steady despite all the strength work yesterday.
08/08: 166.9: Goals: 🌻 Yay!!! Over 1 lb since end of last round.
09/08: 166.4: Goals: 🌻 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 One more day to stay on track!

Round 83: (Last round I posted for)

Fri 12/07: 163.6: Goals: ✅ Still holding steady.
Sat 13/07: 163.5: Goals: ✅ We finally got our we boat back in the water, and the new engine is so quiet, and no nasty fumes either. Result! Now all we need is a few warm sunny days to enjoy it.
Sun 14/07: 164.2: Goals: Meh!!!
Mon 15/07: 166.2: Goals: There are no excuses.

I 😈 choose instant gratification over sensible eating at a family buffet yesterday. I haven't done that for some time. It did not go unpunished. My new healthy body rebelled big time. I spent an wretched evening feeling bloated and uncomfortable, with an extra big a big kick up the a** when I stepped on the scale this morning. Now, I know I haven't put on 2lbs of weight overnight, (though I may well have with the food I ate), and a lot of it is probably be water weight. But enough is enough, and too much is just plain daft. We all do daft things from time to time. The trick is to put it behind you and move on. I am choosing to have a few reset days of light eating to see if I can redress my blowout yesterday. Though if the truth be told, I have been sliding most of the week. I know this is only a blip. Nothing gets in my way when I'm on a mission.

Goals: ✅ Later: Noticed I had the wrong date for my post this morning, so I’ve fixed it. Hopefully back on track.
Tue 16/07: 164.0: Goals: ✅😁 Sticking close to my goals has paid off. It must have been water weight!
Wed 17/07: 164.2: Goals: ✅ Normal fluctuation. Still keeping strong.
Thu 18/07: 163.9: Goals: ✅normal fluctuations.
Fri 19/07: 164.1: Goals: ✅Normal fluctuations!
Sat 20/07: 163.8: Goals ✅
With muscle %age improving, I'm happy that the scale is not increasing. I have no scale this week as I am on holiday, so I will give Round 84 a miss. Will be back with you for Round 85.

Round 82:

Tue 02/07: 162.4: Goals: ✅Just trying to hold it steady.
Wed 03/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅
Thu 04/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅Had a busy day being foster mum to my daughter's 2 fur babies. Jack is very used to being with us, and is no trouble. Sydney is fairly new, and very nervous, and we haven't really got to know him until this week. DH is the doggie person in our house, but Sydney won't go near him, so I'm it! Worse than having a toddler in the house.
Fri 05/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅ Lots of walking and gardening today.
Sat 06/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅ Lots of garden work done today. Perfect weather with a bit of a breeze to take the edge off the heat.
Sun 07/07: 162.6: Goals: ✅ Normal fluctuation.
Mon 08/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅ Another plateau. 😏
Tue 09/07: 163.6: Goals: ✅ Drat! The weekend caught up with me!
Wed 10/07: 163.4: Goals: ✅ *sigh* Keeping on keeping on!
Thu 11/07: 163.6: Goals: ✅ I was quite disappointed with this result until I noticed my muscle %age has increased since last week. I have been working hard on lower body strength for a couple of weeks. Also yesterday, DH asked me if I had lost weight again. It just goes to show that Progress isn't always about the scale dropping. Looking forward to the next round, and making more progress! 😂

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Round 85 (9 for me)

Day/Weight/Comment
08/01 187.2 – Off to a good start with a nice little drop. Busy morning, so I only had time for coffee before class. On the way home, I stopped for gas and then at the farm stand to pick up a few pots of zinnias to refresh the garden beds. I was ravenous by the time I got to my mom’s for lunch. Fortunately, I had some extra calories to spend. Goals met today!
08/02 187.2 – Got a lot accomplished in the house and garden before I got on the road. So it was another busy morning, but this time I made sure to have a decent breakfast so I’d be less tempted by all the high-calorie rest stop offerings. BBQ for dinner, but I stayed under my calorie limit and met all my goals again today.
08/03 No scale – Having a wonderful time visiting family for our traditional summer crab feast. A bit over on calories and a lot over on salt, but I know I can get back on track and deal with a bounce in the week ahead.
08/04 No scale – Wrapped up a lovely weekend with a long ride home. Too much salt and not enough water, but I managed to just stay under my calorie limit. Back to work (and the daily weigh-ins) tomorrow morning!
08/05 187.8 – Okay, there’s that post-weekend bump. I’ve got my work cut out for me this week. Worked for an hour or so in the garden after class but didn’t get much done in the house. I’ve got papers to grade and a quiz to make up tonight, so it’s going to be a long one.
08/06 187.2 – Better. Met my goals today, but I still have a ton of stuff to do before the end of the week. Thunderstorms predicted for tomorrow, so I’ll focus on finishing up some of the indoor stuff and hope the garden gets a good soaking.
08/07 186.4 – The rain did indeed water the garden. We got over 2 inches! Heavy thunderstorms all day brought some wind, but thankfully the power stayed on. Met my goals, but I’m feeling a little burnt out and unfocused. Just need to make one last push to finish the grading and then get some sleep. Last day of classes tomorrow, and then I’m off through Labor Day!
08/08 186.0. – Another nice little drop, building my confidence that, yes, I can stay on track even when things get hectic. Taking a bit of time to log my food and post here really helped me keep my goals in mind. Now that classes are done, I can relax a bit and enjoy my company this weekend. Well under my calorie limit the last couple of days (too busy to spend much time on meals) so maybe that will give me a little wiggle room for sangria this weekend.
08/09 184.6 - !!! I’m thinking this is a false low, since I slept in and weighed later than usual. I also drank a LOT of caffeinated tea last night while waiting for my son’s delayed flight, so some or all of this drop is probably water. The flight was over 3 hours late due to weather, but I got some extra chores done before I finally headed to the airport. Today was busy – lots of errands and party set-up. Under calorie limit but way over on sodium (take-out lunch and dinner), so I expect to see a bump tomorrow.

1: DNW Was in a hurry to get out the door this morning, and we're out of town until tomorrow night. I did ok with food today. I have a huge deficit because we did a lot of walking, but my carbs were high. I've got plans for a Jucy Lucy tomorrow, so I've got plan my day around that. Lots of walking again though!
2: DNW Out of town. Getting ready to take a nice long walk around one of the many lakes in Minneapolis. Food is planned out for the day with some wiggle room even before Fitbit gives me an extra calorie allowance.
3: 233.4 Gone for two days; down a pound... I'll take it!

Bezchick · August 2019

This is first round for me. Starting a few days late, but started back on mfp on August 1st after stepping on the scale. Currently at my highest adult weight without being pregnant. Had my baby 1 year 5 months ago. Had lots of time to lose, but clearly didn't.

Age 31, 5'4

SW: 182
GW for round 85: 180
UGW: 145

08/01 -182lbs. Saw this weight and knew I needed to make changes. Back on mfp to log. Signed up for beachbody on demand.
08/02- didn't weigh. Logged all foods and did bbod day 1. Did go out for a date night and had a few drinks with a big supper. But ate very light prior to. It was the first time in 2 years my hubby and I had a real date night. 🤷‍♀️
08/03- didn't weigh. Did day 2 bbod. Logged all foods. Feeling very motivated.
08/04- 180.2. Wow, I hope today's weight wasn't a fluke and it sticks! Did day 3 bb workout and ate well.
08/05 - 179.6. Day 4 bbod plus about 45 mins of yardwork today. 😊
08/06- 179.0. Day 5 bbod. Went a little over calorie goals today.
08/07- 179.8. Up a little, likely due to yesterday's pizza supper. Today is day 7 of bbod, which is rest day, but I am doing plenty of housework in preparation of company coming tomorrow.
08/08- didn't weigh. Had to estimate some food portions, since having company had me less careful than usual. However, I think I stayed within my range. Did day 8 of bbod. Need to drink more water, the past 2 days I haven't done well with water drinking.
08/09 -177.2. Excited about the numbers, even though I'm guessing this is a bit of a low fluctuation. Day 9 bbod had 2 workouts in the calendar, but decided on 1. Didn't have the energy for 2 today. 🤷‍♀️

Day/Weight/Comment
08/01 140, I can’t believe this is my 20th round! Took a barre class yesterday and made it through. It was like hot barre because the weather in Maui is so warm so my Fitbit showed 100 calories more burned than a usual barre class. Heading to a tennis lesson. I’m always very positive at the beginning of a month and despite 5-6 lbs being difficult to get to in a month with 20 lbs to go, it’s not impossible with good choices
08/02 140, stayed the same, but need to drink more. I had 92 ounces, but still work up thirsty. Humidity is no joke especially if you aren’t used to it.
08/03 139.9, slow and steady but great to see a number in the 130s. I head back home on Monday, so have a few days left to get back to normal routine before the end of the round.
08/04 139.8, I’ve been eating really well and drinking less alcoholic beverages than usual (all the drinks here are really sugary and with it being so hot, been drinking almost exclusively water). I’m hoping to see a drop after the 7th (first full day back), because I’m a bit confused why haven’t dropped more this week unless it’s water retention.
08/05 139.8, weight from this morning. Just landed from 6 hour flight and didn’t eat very well and didn’t exercise so hoping not too much fallout tomorrow. My TOM is Wednesday so still optimistic a lot of the weight I may gain over the next few days will be water weight and can end round at or closer to 138.5
08/06 139.9, back home and will be back on schedule today food and exercise wise.
08/07 139.8, didn’t sleep well last night, but should be back to normal tomorrow.
08/08 139.5, hoping sleep schedule will be back to normal soon. Monday I didn’t get home and to sleep until 3:30 and haven’t been able to sleep more than 5 hours straight since. Slept better last night, so confident it will be soon.
08/09 138, wasn’t expecting to see this number so it’s a pleasant surprise! Today is the start of a 3 day music festival so will be up tomorrow but glad to see a new number this round even if don’t end at it.

I know what I'm doing wrong, I know how to do it right, now the challenge is the discipline to do it right.
This round is going to be very boozy, friends here for a few days, then going to Germany for a wedding... But life will always happen so I need to be able to navigate it.

I forgot to post this morning. Good day yesterday and today, resisted the LNS temptations both days, so that's a win. And I got up for a run this morning despite being tired.
Went for dinner with DH, so estimated all generously, but should be well within, even with the small beer I gave in to.

Okay, been there before, but the trend is down again. Today, lunch will be estimated as my boss is taking us out. I'm quite sore from running 2 days.
Estimated a lot today, and needed some chocolate after work. While I didn't eat my breakfast, i did have an apple quite early,so my eating window is rather long.
Went for an evening walk while DH was cooking dinner and forgot to take my fitbit off charge, D'oh.but I think I got my 10k steps done. It will just not show in my weekly total.
Wait for TOM has started while wait for TMI has finally come to an end.
The next few days will be tough with wedding and birthday celebrations, but I'll take my yoga mat, running gear and scales to stay accountable.

Luckily, i have shoes at my parents, which I can collect today. But no weigh ins until next round.

Went for a great run yesterday, I recently started running guided runs in the nike app and am so positively surprised.
I didn't log food as it was all prepared/restaurant, but didn't go crazy with anything, but had a few drinks. But I burned 1300 cals, so I think i was ok.
Weighed with clothes after lunch at 73.0, which I think also means I'm still ok.
Today will be calorie heavy, but we should be dancing it all off in the evening 👰🤵🍾🥂🎂

LisaPower123 · August 2019

Goal for this round: 4lbs

08/01: 212. Facing the reality of a 10lbs gain since April. Need to shake it off & lose it & continue losing as much as possible until vacation in October

08/02:210.8. Finally had an on track day! Caught a cold & TOM, but managed hot Yoga & did not snack.

08/03:211.8. Not sure why I popped back up. Could be the store bought soup DH brought for me because I am sick. We are having a party today so it is a free day. Hopefully the scale is kind…

08/04: 212.8. Oops the scale was not kind. No biggie. I know lack of sleep, is the biggest factor here. I am debating starting a 3 day fast to see if I can kick this cold to the curb…

08/05: 210. I didn’t fast yesterday. We spent the day cleaning up from the party & relaxing. I got a pretty good night sleep which is reflected on the scale

08/06:. 210. I ate well yesterday & went to hot yoga. . I probably would have had a drop on the scale if I had slept. I had a horrible night sleep & have to work today.

08/07: 210! Three days in a row! I will drink more water today & be more active to see a little more movement on the scale

08/08: 208.6. A tiny whoosh. Happy to be rid of it. I might even meet my goal this round.

08/09: 207.4. Great day yesterday. One little snack of celery. I will have another great day and hopefully keep this good loss.

08/10: 208.8! Well that sucks! I probably had my best day yesterday. I ate supper a little late, but my macros were on point & I exercised. Oh well. That means I only lost 3.2lbs & didn’t reach my goal. Hopefully I can make up for it next round.

08/05 – 190.0 - starting again. I’ve gained 5 pounds, but kept 10 off. I’ll be working on C25K three days a week. Signing up for a 5K on Oct. 26.
08/06 – 188.9 – good start. Recorded all food, no alcohol, drank all my water, and did first day of C25K.
08/07 – 187.6 – so excited. I’m sure this won’t continue as fast, but I need to keep recording. No exercise yesterday, but I did stand more at my desk.
08/08 – 187.0 – Getting back down to where I was a few months ago. Recorded all food, no alcohol, drank all my water, and did the second day of C25K.
08/09 – 187.8 – was afraid of this. Recorded all my food, drank all my water, and didn’t have alcohol, but didn’t exercise and eat out. Made better choices about food, but not the best.
08/10 – 188.7 – knew this was coming. It was my husband’s birthday and it was very easy to fall back into old habits. At least I ended up down for the challenge.

SW: 205.5
Goal: 201.5
Goal: Improve Sleep

8/01 203.7 lbs 6h27m/82/10:23pm Triple checked that weight, still not sure it's accurate. I will check again at the gym later. Good sleep quality, just not enough. Sore muscles, excellent mood.

*New ink!*
8/02 205.1 lbs 6h50m/81/10:35pm. This weight seems more likely... my scale may need a new battery. Good training session yesterday, but the rest if the day seemed meh. Feel like I need another few hours of sleep.... GOT to get to bed earlier.
8/03 203.5 lbs 6h41m/78/10:41pm Maybe yesterday was the fluke weight? Water weight? Whatever... a new battery for the scale is on the errands list. Had a quiet day and got some sad news. Took a nap instead of eating.
8/04 203.1 lbs 5h40m/76/11:18pm Hot sweaty day left me wrung out but keyed up. Adoption event conflicted with my normal Saturday BodyFlow class, so I'm going to get to one today.
8/05 201.7 5h37m/75/11:28pm Never made it to BodyFlow, but did get a lot of housework done; I did try to get to bed earlier - but just wasn't sleepy enough, ended up reading.
8/06 200.1 lbs 5h35m/73/11:41pm Every day, I go to bed a little later, get a little less sleep, sleep score drops; dealing with some stuff that is clearly affecting me.

Had a good session with my trainer, but my "stuff" and my ever degrading sleep quality are sinking my mood.
8/07 200.3lbs 3h24m/59/1:46am Can't even blame Zumba for the poor sleep. Argh!
8/08 199.7 lbs 4h12m/62/1:18am -
ONE-derland!
8/09 199.3 lbs 5h22m/?/12:00am... took my tracker off to put lotion on and forgot to put it back on. So that's how my day started...
8/10 200.5 lbs 5hr27m/73/12:55am Completely worth it. Back up a bit, but enjoyed my evening so much.

Made goal weight but sleep was not enough of a priority. Long term weight loss and muscle gain will suffer if I can't get the sleep issue under control.

See you all in 86!

I usually look at the month goals so much that I forget to savor what I’m accomplishing in shorter periods. Persistence and those daily choices will get us where we want to be.

8/6-168-
8/7-166-That just goes to show how much garbage I ate over the weekend 🙄. I got my 7 mile walk in and drank lots of water.
8/8-167-Salty food and only got 1/2 of my walk in. Finally it’s cool in the evening for another short walk.
8/9/165-Better food choices, big walk and water.I’m off to yoga this morning, hoping to stretch my legs good after my horseback riding Monday and my big walks this week.
8/10-168-Heavy dinner, no walk yesterday. Today I will do a bunch of weed whacking. I packed a lot of water. I was able to get back on track this round and I feel confident about the next round.

It’s nice to have all of you here!!!🌸☕️

SheilaBoneham · August 2019

Back again. I've been backsliding (can you slide up?) since Dec. and it stops now, no more excuses. So new plan & goals....

Food -- cut out added sugars & flour products; focus on healthy plant-based foods with some fish & chicken. Calorie goal ~1200.
Exercise -- Aim for a 4-6 mile walk most days; weights either working in garden/house or at gym.
Weight -- I don't like to set weight goals since I can control only what I eat & do, not what I weigh. However, my aim this round is to be consistently below 160, and my goal for Aug. is to be below 155.

8/1 - 163.8
OK, I seriously considered fibbing about this. But I did not gain 2.8 pounds overnight, so this is water. Still, though, terrifying. But I'm serious now -- new month, new plan, new goals, new attitude. I'm also going to aim for no evening snacks. I've been eating way too many calories between 9-11 pm. If my cat will let me, I think I'll knit to keep my hands occupied. If he won't, I'll sit on them.

If I don't have a downward trend over the next 10 day, please, someone, kick my butt.

8/2 - 161.8
I did pretty well yesterday, but I'm still working on my garden (now laying edging and mulch, painting furniture, transplanting plants, ....) and I'm HUNGRY in the evening. I did stick to pretty healthy snacks last night, though. One step at a time. And I'm so happy about my back yard transformation! I'm next.

Beautiful morning here. I went for a lovely hour-long walk in one of my favorite parks and am planning another on the Rivergreenway this evening.

I seem to really like it here!

8/10 - 161
Wowser — this round whizzed by. I’m disappointed in myself for not losing. OTOH, I must be burning a fair number of calories because I’ve been eating more than I plan, but holding steady. I know I’ve set my cal goal too low because I always exceed it, so I’m rethinking that goal for next round. And choices. See you in R86!

8/1: 201.0 no explanation for a gain, so I’ll just pretend it didn’t happen!
8/2: 200.8. Just kinda hovering these past 3 days.
8/3:201.0
8/4:201.2
8/5:200.8 - I've pretty much stayed the same all week. How do you hit a plateau when it's only the 3rd week???
8/6:200.0 - Finally! A little progress!
8/7:198.8 - Alright!! Now we’re cookin’ with gas!!😀
8/8: Did not weigh in.
8/9:202.4 - Whaaaaaat??? 😫
8/10: 198.4 - All is right in the world again😀. My husband was complaining that the scale was wacky. Apparently one of the feet fell off the scale. We glued it back on and it seems to be ok for now. May be time to get a new scale.

Day/Weight/Comment

08/01 - 238.2 - minus a pound from yesterday and feeling good about this round! Pretty decent on eating (went to happy hour with some colleagues last night and had a couple of glasses of wine) and continuing today, really want to stay under my calorie goal.

08/02 - 238.6 - I don’t even know 🤷🏾‍♀️ will do an at home workout today; planned my meals for the day... just going to keep trying to make each day as good as or better than the one before... can’t give up.

08/03 - 235.7 - yay movement!! Heading to the gym then out and about. Making it my mission to stick to the plan this weekend!

08/04 - 235.3 - stayed down! Don’t expect any negative movement tomorrow due to lazy weekend with some cheats thrown in.

08/05 - 236.3 - expected a bounce off of the weekend; not going to lose my mind over it (trying not to!!!!!!!); Did not make it to the gym yesterday but DO plan on doing an at-home workout and will hit the gym in the morning before work! If I can end this 10-days under 235 I will be soooo happy!

08/06 - 236.6 - heading to a concert tonight; it’s at a restaurant so will make a healthy choice for my meal. I am down 2.6lbs this round, keeping that front of mind!

08/07 - DNW - mostly intentionally; but was also running late this morning and outside of my routine so it was easy to stay away from the scale haha; haven’t made the best choices today but still within my calorie limit and determined to finish the day strong (just going to make it a bit of an uphill battle for myself this evening); about to do an at home workout before dinner.

08/08 - 238.1 - definitely in a place where daily weighing may be counter productive - hard to feel good about making better decisions and being consistent these past several weeks when the scale literally refuses to go in the right direction. Heading to the gym, will fight hard today to not let this ruin my day.

08/09 - 235.7 - definitely was fighting a freak out yesterday but really happy to see the scale stop hating me 😂 will do an at home workout today since I over-slept my gym alarm this morning. Ate okay yesterday; at a deficit and under my daily goal but made some questionable choices throughout the day; want to be on point today, that’s my goal.

08/10 - 236 - I’ll take it. That is 3.2lbs lost this round. This weekend taking on a home project so hopefully that will keep me away from snacking/cheating; I really want to see 234 next round!

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 85
