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!

So apparently I have been forgetting to post again. Oops. My life has just been sooooo busy and I'm either right on top of things or really off the wagon. I had a couple days of no weigh-in's this past work week b/c I overslept. I was dog-sitting at my cousin's house Sat/Sun morning. One good thing, I went back to Anytime Fitness and joined again. Now I just need to actually GO! I'm still dealing with voice/lung issues which leaves me almost completely worn out at the end of the work day. (ENT/Voice & Swallow consult on 4/29.) Glad Easter is here and will be gone b/c jelly beans are one of my weaknesses.

04/22 - 207.1 (2595 steps) OMG I am sooooooo glad that Easter is over. I probably ate my weight's worth in jelly beans yesterday. It is probably my most guilty pleasure, of all the holiday candies that we have! I also ended up with a VERY upset tummy! *Weight loss surgery still works.* I was on the couch or in bed most of the day. Ugh! I am seeing way more +'s than -'s on the End of Rounds (ER) up above. Need to get more serious, much more serious! I've been "involved" for 10 rounds now. I guess it could be worse?!

CW-169.4
R74 GW- 168.4
UGW- 150

“Patience is also a form of action.” Auguste Rodin

**PLEASE NOTE THAT MY DATA IS IN REVERSE CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER**

04/22/19- 165.4 So happy! When I average together all of my weights over the past 10 days, it comes to 167.3, so I have surpassed my goal this round!

04/21/19- 165.2 Happy, happy Easter! How cool is it that I reached 2 milestones today: 40 pounds lost, and I am now in the “normal” BMI range! I weighed at 10:00 pm tonight, and I was at 168.4. Who knows? Maybe there will be another drop tomorrow?

04/20/19- 167 This is wonderful! I think I’ve dropped a couple of pounds, because I weighed again tonight at 10:00, and weighed 168.6. Usually at night I weigh between 170 and 171. Trying not to get too excited about what tomorrow morning brings…

04/19/19- 167.8 Yay! With it being the week before my TOM, I am soooo hungry! Drinking water like it’s going out of style. I may go to bed early tonight to keep from eating.

04/18/19- 168.4 Glad to be down some. It’s the week before my TOM. I just computed my average weight so far for this round, and it’s 167.96, so I’m on target to make my goal, if not surpass it. Plus, Spring Break is now here!

04/17/19- 169 I drank a cup of water before I remembered to weigh this morning, so that number may be more like 168.8. Must be retaining water from the leg workout yesterday.

04/16/19- 167.6 I haven’t slept well the past 2 nights. I’m getting ready to cut my caffeine in half.

04/15/19- 166.8 I think this is my lowest weight yet. I ate a salad for lunch yesterday, and watched my sodium intake. When I hit 165.5, that will be 40 total pounds lost. Would love for that to happen on this round!

04/14/19- 168.4 It’s okay. Went to Outback for lunch, and ate my entire baked potato. It was well worth the uptick. I was back on track today.

Day/Weight/Comment

04/13/19 202.6#. I see a new future of new low weights! I was 201.3# on 6/21/13 when I started MFP. I am 1.3# away from that number. I am very excited! It has been too long that I have been under 200#. I had always sworn that I would NEVER be over 200# and that I would starve myself if needed. Well a new scale was bought and immediately I was 205#. That was around 16 years ago that I first saw that big number. Little did I know that I would see a pregnancy weight of 264# or my heaviest non pregnancy weight of 236.8#. I am feeling so much better! God has truly answered my prayers and has motivated me to do something about my weight. Over a year ago I was blessed with food allergies. But I have now realized how much better I can feel when I am eating right and not eating all the processed I used to be eating. I hope eventually I will learn to like cooking, I look forward to that day. But so far, I have made changes I can live with. I plan to keep this up after Lent also. I haven't felt this good for YEARS!
56 ounces water. 2,245 calories in. I averaged 7 hrs and 2 minutes for sleep last week. 2,214 steps.
04/14 204#. GOT starts today! I'm really looking forward to it! 2,550 steps. 1,796 calories in. 28 ounces water.
04/15 204.6#. 1,888 calories in. 47 ounces water. 4,452 steps. I have completed my good diary for 45 days in a row. This is a huge accomplishment for me.
04/16 204.2#. I'm surprised by this with the high carb suppers I've been having. I've also been terrible with water. 1,522 calories in. 55 ounces of water. 5,094 steps. Not bad for a lazy day.
04/17 202.4#
04/18 202.2#. 5,450 steps. Calories in: 2,655 😲😱😟. 71 oz water. I suspect I will feel completely rotten in the next couple of days…
04/19 203.6#. Fasting for Lent. I'm glad Easter is almost here. Today I'm using fasting as a way to make up for the last 2 days, which is the wrong reason to be fasting. The good news is, I'm still down 0.6# for the week. 76 oz water. 4,792 steps. 1,476 calories in.
04/20 203.2#. Averaged 7 hrs and 3 min of sleep/night this week.

04/21 205.2#.
04/22 204.2#. I guess I was due for a gain in my weight. Last Thursday I said ‘f’ it. I went off any form of a diet I was on. I have eaten, just to eat. I guess I should be glad my average weight is still down. I'm just a little bored with EVERYTHING. I have logged everything I have pt in my mouth. I am not willing to give up my 52 day stretch of logging. I'm still down 12.8# from 1/1/19 and down 32.6# from 1/1/17.

Another Power Day under my belt yesterday for StepBet. New watch has now been dispatched - excited! Did meal prep for the rest of the week, I feel like I am getting into a nice routine, I've pretty much maintained this round, but considering I'm not logging, I'm pretty happy with that.

15/04
Had a far less active weekend than expected due to rain/wind cancelling our club's regatta, met my Stepbet goals (on Saturday I was reduced to jogging on the spot in a toilet cubicle in the pub at 23:45 to make sure I got them in

that's dedication for you) and food was more or less to plan so happy with that.

16/04
Good day for steps yesterday, despite the rubbish weather so started the week with a power day! Went out for some short rowing practice this morning, was training someone on steering oar, so it probably wasn't a huge calorie burn. Need to make an effort to drink more water during working hours, got home last night dying of thirst as I'd only had half a glass of water.

17/04
Another good day for steps, another power day bites the dust. Weekly weigh in, trendweight down 0.2lbs I have about 11 days of my logging break left. It's been good to have a proper break for the first time in 2 years. When I get back to it on the 29th I'll be going back to a calorie-cycling plan with a 1000 calorie deficit on rest days and 500 calorie deficit on active days (days's when I do strength training/rowing/running/hiking). I expect my rowing training to increase in the run up to a long distance race I'm doing in June and will be including strength training again.

18/04
Went out dogwalking last night, I've missed my little paw pal (I used to borrow dogs for walking through an app) I haven't walked him for about a year, he too has gained a little weight so going to maybe start taking him out jogging with me some evenings. Bring on the Easter Weekend - 2 x 4 day weeks, I have 3 days of rowing planned including my first attempt at sea rowing on Sunday, out to Cape Clear Island, I was meant to do this last year but the weather was not suitable. I am also doing a longer row of about 20km tomorrow.

22/04
Extremely busy weekend, rowing every day Thurs - Sat, including my first sea row out to one of the islands.

***VACATION ROUND***Round 74 (my 4th)***
10 DAY GOALS: Planning to (1) log everything carefully over the next 10 days with maintenance range 1700 or fewer calories (2) 12-hour fast most days (3) Try to boost TDEE with small daily movements to achieve 2000 steps daily (I'm disabled and I often get less than 1000 per day)
Age: 38
Height: 5'7"
Round 71 SW 157.8 EW 155.4 (-2.4 lbs)
Round 72 SW 155.4 EW 153 (-2.4 lbs)
Round 73 SW 155.4 EW 153.6 (+0.6 lbs)
Total challenge lost after 3 rounds: 4.2 lbs
UGW: 123

GW for this round: *Maintenance of current wight* 153-155
To aid in my maintenance goal this week while enjoying my vacation (admittedly, a food-centered one in a special place I haven't been to for over a decade where I'll be headed to some of my all-time favorite restaurants, AND there will be a birthday party), I am experimenting with calorie 'banking'- purposely eating fewer calories for a few days in order to have more in the 'bank' for other days. Over the course of the week, it should even out to 1700 max a day, my maintenance calories.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/13 153.6 Same weight for days, and that's fine, since my goal this round is simple: maintain, don't gain! Walked a lot yesterday (for me), 4616 steps, and met my calories perfectly.
04/14 152 Maddeningly, the scale kept fluctuating between 151.7 and 152, but I'm thrilled it's lower! I've been IFing for a while (16:8) and yesterday, I was starving in the morning, which is atypical. After having the usual coffee and water, the hunger wasn't subsiding one bit, so I opened my eating window early and didn't feel guilty at all, nor did I go overboard- trying out this intuitive eating thing in baby steps over the course of this long journey.
04/15 152.8 **Banking calories for vacation** Did fine yesterday for a Sunday. A fast food meal but ordered from kids menu and did well otherwise.
04/16 151.4 **Banking calories for vacation. Managed to eat a few hundred calories under yesterday as part of my calorie cycling plan to create some wiggle room for my upcoming vacation, so I hope this lower number sticks- it'll give me a better shot of not going over 153 this week.

I am trying not to be nervous about my upcoming vacation/diet break and ran across an idea in an old thread that resonated: think of it as one week to practice maintenance. Shouldn't we all practice our maintenance lifestyle occasionally? My challenges won't be 'over' at goal weight 30 lbs from now; they'll be different. I'm recasting the vacation week as "practicing maintenance" and I feel good about that as a skill to develop along this journey. Vacations like this used to be a food free-for-all, but I'm going to practice eating with a goal in mind: *maintenance*.
04/17 151.4 **Banking calories for vacation** Banked calories again successfully yesterday and maintaining lower number for now. Feeling good about my vacation strategy!
04/18 **VACATION BEGINS**Practicing Maintenance**
04/19 NO SCALE, ON VACATION **Practicing Maintenance**
04/20 NO SCALE, ON VACATION **Practicing Maintenance**
04/21 NO SCALE, ON VACATION **Practicing Maintenance**
04/22 NO SCALE, ON VACATION **Practicing Maintenance**
Weigh-in 4/24: 153.6! My "practicing maintenance" plan totally worked! Did a ton of activity some days, nothing but sit in the car other days. Ate a little over my usual several days, but didn't eat fully at the upper end of my maintenance range. Feeling ready to tackle the next round!

So you update it in your own notes and then add it at the end of the 10 days?

Hilogirl2018 · April 2019

@aadubb I think most of us post daily, each time with our updated info after weighing in that day.

quiltingjaine · April 2019

@aadubb What @Hilogirl2018 said. I update the note in my phone first thing, then read everyone’s posts, (I may add to my note if something comes to mind) and then the last thing I do is copy and paste my updated note to the thread. In the morning MFP will return me to my last post.

KareninLux · June 2019

Just had a faint feeling if being in control again... just a whisper but it is coming back. Yes!!!

I cut a lot of sodium out of my diet and found that my salt based water softener was adding sodium to my water so I switched to a salt free water softener..
