Ready for my round 34
OSW 88KG
RSW 60.30kg (-27.7kg) or {- 61.1 lbs}
Goal... Less than I started
11/29 60.7kg was over calories yesterday (can't blame Thanksgiving as I live in Malawi 🙄🇲🇼) but will not be today because I'm going to be too busy! Gym done and how I'm looking forward to the weekend...
11/30 59.55kg. Getting back under 60kg is great. Had a lovely night last night with my bestie but not enough sleep! Going to keep busy today so I don't snack.
12/01 60.1kg. Went a little over calories again last night. No real change in the last 6 weeks. Will keep busy today and focus.
12/02 59.95kg. Mission to keep under 60kg the whole week. Gym done already
12/03 60.15kg which is not a problem. Calories and macros perfect yesterday and I'm planning to do the same today
12/04 60.7kg which has no reason to be there as it was all good yesterday. I'm sure it will be off soon. Gym done
12/05 59.55kg. Was all good again yesterday and planning the same today. More days under 60kg this week than last so hopefully a new low happens soon

Day/Weight/Comment
11/29 133.6 – that's better! 3.61 miles walked; Granny day with my two lovely toddler grandchildren – we went to soft play, climbing up & sliding down etc.!
11/30 134.2 – 10.12 miles walked yesterday. I know this up is due to eating very late last night; went out for a curry after a drink out with friends, but planned for it and ate super low calories earlier in the day which meant that I was just under calories for the day as best as I could gauge.
12/01 132.8 – yippee! Challenge now is to stay in this number 'til the end of the round! 7.92 miles walked yesterday.
12/02 132.2 – whoohoo!! Superb! Didn't expect this, but I'l take it! 6.76 miles walked yesterday, carbs slightly over but all other macros & calories below. Pushing to hold this until the weekend as we have our first big big early Christmas celebration over the coming weekend which lasts Friday evening to Sunday lunch!!
12/03 132.8 – 10.06 miles walked yesterday, all macros well in green.
12/04 132.8 – 11.73 miles walked, all macros well in green, didn't use giving blood as an excuse to binge on “goodies” like I usually do, restricted it to snack at the blood donning session only.
12/05 133.4 – 10.63 miles walked yesterday plus an hours yoga. All macros in green, but did have an LNS of biscuits after dancing.

Goals
1 - Track my calories daily
2 - Run (or gym) 3x week
3 - Water 1.5l
4.- Stay on current weight or less
Date – Weight in of the morning– Summary of the previous day:
11/29 - Holiday
11/30 - Holiday
12/01 - Holiday
12/02 - 155.6 (+2.6) totally expected after a long weekend in Switzerland eating melted cheese with fresh bread most days
In fact I stopped eating Sunday lunchtime because I couldn't face any more food! so this is a week of extreme dieting, drinkings lots of water and slowly starting exercising again following 2 weeks off with a pulled muscle in my hip and an arthritis fare.
12/03 154.4 (-1.2 lbs) down a little but I ate too much yesterday evening and I was over on calories, I was tired and couldn't face cooking anything so I ended up eating random stuff from the fridge.... I'm realizing tiredness is the worse for my diet as I tend to overcompensate with food (and the wrong kind of food!). Today I'm planning on going to the gym during my lunch break, I'm looking forward to it.
12/04 154.2 (-0.2) over calories yesterday, I logged consistently during the day, but I was running around yet again in the evening and therefore I ended up being too tired to cook sensible food. At least I have prepared fresh vegetable soup for tonight which I will I just have to warm up when I get home. I'm happy I went to the gym yesterday, it was a good workout between the indoor cycling and elliptical although I miss my running, I'm quite grumpy without it
12/05 154.2 (-0.0) On track with respect to calories and water intake yesterday, I'm trying to resist all the yummy treats being left on my desk by my lovely colleagues
Today is a quiet day, I'm going to the gym during my lunch hour for another indoor cycling and elliptical mix workout. I must admit I'm ready for the holidays, I'm taking two weeks off for Christmas and soooo looking forward to sleeping late with some R&R time

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.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/29 – 146.5 – I had a wonderful Thanksgiving and have some leftovers to take care of this weekend. I’ll try to drink extra water today and be mindful of the leftovers.
11/30 – 148 – Ouch! I really didn’t want to step on the scale today, but I’m not going to change my habits if I don’t face the consequences. My family leaves for home today after the OSU/Michigan game. Today I’m really going to try to stay away from the goodies.
12/1 – 147 – Back to the calorie counting tomorrow. We finished the Thanksgiving leftovers today, so I’m hoping it doesn’t go up anymore.
12/2 – 147
12/3 – 145.5 – On the way back down. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is my real weight after the last week and a half, but I’ll be drinking plenty of water in hopes it might go down a little more tomorrow. Today is my first day back to work since last Tuesday, so I should be able to stay on plan.
12/4 – 146 – I drank my water, watched my calories, and did a short work out for the first time in a week. Oh well, hopefully it will go back down tomorrow.
12/5 – 145 – OK, just in time for an office Christmas party today. Yesterday when I weighed, my 20 year old scale gave me the error sign a few times so I decided to look for a backup in case it dies soon. I bumped into an eufy smart scale which has been rated pretty high by PC mag on amazon.com on sale for $19.99. I know all the measurements it takes aren’t really accurate, but I thought I might use it to see the trends for water, muscle, etc. especially since I’ve recently started working out. Just a heads up in case you’re looking for a decently rated, reasonably priced smart scale.

11/29 134.4 Thanksgiving...
11/30 134 Im going to do this.
12/1 133.8 glad to start December in the 133s! The exercise makes a big difference in my day, so my goal for December is keep doing it! Now if I can get a handle on my anxiety, that will be the next great thing
12/2 133.8 feeling relieved that Monday is here and I can be at a regular eating schedule. I worked out yesterday. I was at a perfect calorie yesterday. I should have entered everything before I decided to have dessert. I knew it would put me over and yet, I still ate dessert, so of course went over. Anybody have suggestions on how to avoid this type of self-sabotage? I could literally never enter calories and know exactly if I'm within or not. So that awareness is acutely there. Now I need to learn how to stop!
12/3 134
12/4 134.2 explained by sugar. So today I start my no sugar for the rest of this round
12/5 133.6 cautiously optimistic since I get excited and sabotage myself when I see the scale move. Let's try moving forward this time! I will have to be careful at lunch and dinner today which are social so not sure this will be possible. We have a dinner out tomorrow and a party on Sat. This is going to be a challenge.10 -

12/01 128.6
12/02 129 Hey, everyone! Missed you! I've had some time away and I so clearly need to get back into the habit of daily check-ins. Everything that got me to maintenance will KEEP me in maintenance, and I've creeped up slightly past my comfortable maintenance range with Thanksgiving (+) leftovers (+) baking (+) some major life stresses over the past two weeks (sudden unemployment, woohoo!).
I was feeling great at around 125-126 for weeks and weeks until I let things slip at the end of November, and I want to catch myself now before I blub up too much and lose all my months of hard work. Already feeling squishier with only a 3-lb gain, and we all know how quickly a few pounds turns into ten.
For the rest of this round, I will: (1) log every bite (2) fast until noon (3) stay within my calories (4) post my weigh-in here. The four steps that helped me lose in the first place will help me refocus. Anyway, hi again!
12/03 129 No gain, excellent! Now hopefully, I'll be down tomorrow. Thanks for the welcome (re-welcome?), @deepwoodslady. I sure missed you all, too! @LisaW57 thank you, I'm hopeful.
12/04 129 As usual, easy come, sloooow go. I need to review my posts from earlier rounds on having patience!
12/05 129.8 I feel so bloated and icky. I honestly think that's a factor here, but truthfully, I've also been sampling bites of cookie dough as I prepare holiday baking packages. That has to be where my calories are skyrocketing.Tons of water and maybe some fiber should help. Oh, and NO COOKIE DOUGH! I've made these recipes too many times to need to taste test. I mean, come on, we all know whipped butter and sugar is gonna be good, no tasting required!
Even if I cross the line into 130 tomorrow, the absolute worst thing I could do right now is to throw my hands up in the air and say, meh, it's the holidays, I'll get back on track Jan. 1st. I could be up 10 lbs by then.
And here's the win in this little backsliding: last year, I totally would have given up at this point until January, giving myself a free pass to eat whatever because "it's too hard to watch calories at this time of year." Or I would have banished myself from the kitchen to avoid temptation, calling myself too weak to enjoy my favorite hobby at my favorite time of year.
But instead- because I'm now supposed to be in maintenanceland- I'm going to try to learn how to be one of those people who manages to surround themselves with tempting food and doesn't gain weight- you know, like those thin chefs/bakers you see on TV and think, how...? Is Giada de Laurentiis some kind of magical fairy? This year, I'm going to learn what it takes to become a fairy. And the fact that I'm even trying to become a fairy is a win.

SW this round 165.0
GW this round 164. 4 Maintain this round from last round since it is a holiday, and lots of family home.
UGW 135
Goals 1. Walk two miles or at least hit 10,000 steps everyday
2. Due a toning workout for 20 minutes 5X a week
3. Count calories, less pasta, bread
Ending weight from last round. 164.4 lbs
11/29 165.0 lbs (1470 calories, 8794 steps,) I didn't splurge to bad but it was Thanksgiving. Kids and their families home all weekend. Lots of food around and I will be making. Plan on enjoying a little. (+ .6lbs)
11/30 165.8 lbs (1537 calories in, 10989 steps) here it comes. So no exercise with family here and to much food. But enjoying cooking and hosting and that is why I diet in between so one can enjoy life in the now. I will get back to it on Monday. (+. 1.4 lbs so far)
12/1 166.6 lbs. (2000 calories in, 14000 steps) no exercise and more cooking (+2 lbs)
12/2 168.0 lbs (2378 calories in, 14,221 steps) family finally left late afternoon and they were good at finishing most goodies up or taking them with but I did splurge yesterday on calories. Did try cross country sking after our blizzard but it had freezing rain first and so the conditions are slippery only made it a mile. (+ 3.6 lbs)
12/3 165.8 (1195 calories in, 16,963 steps) took my back out just getting out of bed yesterday. So slow going and no sking but did get my steps in by taking down fall decorations and putting up Winter decorations. (+1.4 lbs)
12/4 165.8 (1032 calories in, 15,315 steps) accomplished all goals. Still hoping to get back to ending weight of round 96. (still +1.4 lbs)
12/5 165.8 (1474 calories in, 18,489 steps) I went to visit a friend and we did go cross country sking for 2.5 miles, beautiful day but then we socialize a little, so a few beers and I have found my stomach gets super sick now that I am dieting if I don't eat something while I drink so I am surprised I did not gain. But I have only three days to get back to what I was at the end of the last round and I don't think that is going to happen, Friday and Saturday is more time with friends socializing. Though I would love to lose weight, my main goal is to not gain anymore.8 -

Edit: Not that I particularly care about the "disagree" this received, I just wanted to clarify that I called late-night snacking "ill-advised" because it goes against my current plan. Everyone's plan is different but I try not to eat after 8pm.
OMG. You've hit on something that's been irritating me for weeks. Seems to me that if you are going to hit "disagree," you should have the common courtesy to post your feedback if it's relevant. Without that, you leave the poster wondering if they could be doing better. Especially in the threads that are so positive and encouraging as we work through uncertainties and setbacks. These little disagree bombs are so random and nonsensical, it leaves me wondering if it's not just a bitter and unhappy troll. (Not from our wonderful group of posters, these threads are visible to everyone in MFP.) You're doing great! Just ignore those clicks as meaningless without a response.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/29: 284.5 lbs (+1.3) … Up a bit here as I ate late the night previous. I was really good through Thanksgiving, but ate light and ended up famished around 11pm.
11/30: DNW
12/01: 283.0 lbs (-1.5) … I was a little surprised to see this. I’ve been kind of lazy this weekend and my eating habits haven’t been great. Below maintenance, but above my budget. New low though, so I’m pretty happy.
12/02: 283.6 lbs (+0.6) … Had a really good day today. We got about 2 feet of snow, so I wound up taking a day off to watch my daughter, who had a snow day. Played outside with her for about 2 hours and was very pleased to see how well I was able to keep up with her… even with extra snow shoveling to build her a mountain of snow to play on!
12/03: 282.7 lbs (-0.9) … Another new low. Despite being a bit more lax in my eating habits for the past week, I’m still losing weight. Going to try to tighten that back up now that my time off is over. I also want to push my activity a bit more, been lazy on that front as well, outside of snow shoveling.
12/04: 283.8 lbs (+1.1) … an uptick due to some ill-advised late night snacking near midnight while I was taking care of a sudden home repair issue. Really doesn’t mean much, thankfully. Very happy this morning, I’m wearing a size XL shirt for the first time in maybe 8-9 years.
12/05: 283.3 lbs (-0.5) … partial recovery. Had a good gym session last night, feeling good this morning.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/28 …..185.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/29 …..183.6 ….. Yesterday’s stats (after lots of online shopping & sitting at computer): 1094 Calories In / 2280 Calories out. 35 Net Carbs. 11,881 Total Steps & 5.03 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 31 minutes. I walked for 22 minutes burning 120 cals & I danced for 14 minutes burning 80 cals. Sample song – “Smokin’ in the boys room” by Motley Crue. Total extra calorie burn 200. Good luck everyone this round!
11/30 …..182.4 ….. I am determined that Thanksgiving (today for me) will not be the start of the downhill spiral that starts this time every year and ends after Easter in April. This year will be different, and all bumps & fluctuations will be very very temporary. Yesterdays stats: 1273 Calories In / 2717 Calories Out. 34 Net Carbs. 12,467 Total Steps & 5.28 Total Miles. 12/13 fitbit step hours. Charged fitbit overnight so I’m not sure about sleep but it feels a bit better, like over 5 hours. My deliberate exercise yesterday was just one short 15 minute walk at 2.5 mph burning 67 Calories.
12/01 …..187.4 ….. 5 pound gain really? Very very small Thanksgiving day dinner plate (under 750 cals). No feast for me! However, I did have tiny samplings of several desserts which was a whole paper plate full of bites! But 5 pounds? Yikes. Okay, I will have to accept what happens when I eat carbs, or even LOOK AT THEM. My work is cut out for me but I’m up for the task! I did a quick log of 2350 calories on MFP which was guessing a bit high I think. 2521 Calories out. I am sure that I had less calories in than out. CICO does not work for me! I have no idea on the carbs. 10,028 Total Steps & 4.24 Total Miles. I slept 6 hours & 1 minute. Sugar crash! I managed a 62 minute walk yesterday at 2.0 mph burning 220 calories. Moving on past this and back on to greener pastures!
12/02 …..183.2 ….. Finally TMI which really helped get the weight back down closer to the end of November weight. School finally reopened after the holiday so today will be a good walk day. My calorie burn has been pretty low the past 4 days. Yesterday’s stats: 1261 Calories In / 2567 Calories Out. 21 Net Carbs. 14,230 Total Steps & 6.07 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 35 minutes. I walked for 25 minutes at about 2.5 mph burning 114 and I rigorously cleaned a tourist cabin for 27 minutes burning 129. Extra planned calorie burn 243. I am happy that I made it through the Thanksgiving Holiday without too much damage. Losing a few pounds and wanting to hang onto that really helped me make better choices (on portion sizes) than it probably would have been otherwise.
12/03 …..183.6 ….. I know I did everything right yesterday so this must be a normal fluctuation. All part of the normal ups & downs proving that repeated theory that weight loss is not linear. No worries. I was back to major walking yesterday after the school reopened following the holiday closure. A bit slippery to drive there, but I made it! Yesterday’s stats: 1173 Calories In / 2654 Calories Out. 29 Net Carbs. 20,703 Total Steps & 8.76 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 46 minutes. Might that explain the gain? I don’t know. Anyhow, I walked 143 minutes at 3.0 mph burning an extra 806 calories and I danced for 16 minutes burning an extra 94 calories. Sample song – “Fat Bottom Girls” by Queen. Total extra calorie burn 900.
12/04 …..182.6 ….. Down 1 lb today and feeling pretty good about that. A long travel & shopping day tomorrow so here comes the beginning of the Christmas Holiday challenges. My plan, everything that goes up will be knocked right back down asap. Yesterday was another good on-track day. 1104 Calories In / 2853 Calories Out. 31 Net Carbs of healthy veggies. 20,018 Total Steps & 8.47 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit step hours. I slept 4 hours & 8 minutes. I walked for 24 minutes at home at a little over 3.0 mph burning 141 Calories. I walked the school halls in the evening for 118 minutes at 3.5 mph burning 691 Calories. Extra planned calorie burn 832. We can do this, my friends!
12/05 …..184.6 ….. Dinner at a friends house. Sloppy Joes & baked beans and a handful of candy corn. This is what happens when I keep the bun on. Today is travel Day. Christmas Shopping in the city. A very long car ride there and back but I expect lots of walking. Morning until night. Restaurants inevitable but I will try to keep it to one meal out. Yesterdays stats: 2380 Calories In / 3033 Calories Out. Between 100 & 200 net Carbs. 21,451 Total Steps & 9.08 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 58 minutes. I tried to create extra calorie burn after the early dinner. I walked 122 minutes at the school at 3.0 mph burning 705 Cals & I danced for 30 minutes burning 177. {b] Sample song – “Hold on we’re going home” by Drake (feat. Majid Jordan} Total extra calorie burn 882.

Back for Round 97
Female / Age 62 / 5'2"
OW: 158.5 (12/30/18)
UG: 135.0 (for now, healthy weight for me)
Intro:Let me introduce myself. I struggled with my weight as a teen, topping out at nearly 200. I dropped it after high school and got to a healthy weight. Every major life changed has brought weight back on - having kids, pre-menopause, menopause, family tragedy, post menopause. I've knocked it back down each time, and have been surprised that each time required a different strategy, and resulted in a different type of lifestyle change to maintain. Each time as been much harder and slower. At this point, it's moving off at a snail's pace.
Motivation. I have a hyatial hernia. It does not bother me as long as I keep the weight at 150 or below. Every female on my mother's side has had arthritic knees, and I'm starting to feel twinges. They have also sustained falls and broken bones. My husband had a major health scare a coupe of years ago. The idea of being put out of commission by a preventable injury or illness scares the bejimminies out of me.
Goals. The goals at this stage are to drop weight to a healthy range, realign my eating style to a lifestyle that will keep me healthy into my golden years, and strengthen the muscles that support my knees, ankles, and shoulders, along with my core, to prevent injury.
Dropping weight post menopausal has been so difficult, I need this to be the last time. 10-15 pounds used to be easy to drop, so that was always my warning bell to focus. Not so much now. Looks like a 3-5 pound fluctuation will be it.
A healthy weight for me is 135-140. I've always looked anorexic at 120. We'll see how things are at 135, and go from there.
Round StatsR95: SW 146.3 GW 146.0 EW 145.3 Results -1.0
R96: SW 145.3 GW 144.0 EW 145.0 Results - 0.3
Strategy: Up the hydrating foods. Fruit with breakfast. Salad/veggies as bulk of lunch. Healthy dinner. Limit/eliminate processed carbs and sugars. Zero calorie intake after 8pm. Strength exercises 3 days on/1 day rest. Regular movement through day to compensate for desk job.
R97 Challenges: Getting back on track after Thanksgiving. I'll be starting December off with a Hydration Challenge to increase the amount of plant based hydration in my diet.
R97 SW: 145.0
R97 GW: 144.0
11/29 (F) 145.3 (Trend Weight 145.9) Not too bad a bump for Thanksgiving. Seems the increased activity (even with skipping the strength workouts) and my lightened up dinner menu was effective. Forced myself to have a light breakfast, and nibbled on raw veggies for lunch while prepping dinner. Are moderately, but it was still pretty carb and sodium heavy. Didn't get as much water as I should have. May see another bump tomorrow from the leftovers, but I did get both a strength workout and some aerobics in today.
11/30 (S) 145.6 (Trend Weight 145.9) Leftovers. Pretty much figured that. Glad it wasn't any worse. There's still a few left in the fridge, but I'm done with the heated up plates and turkey sandwiches. I can work what's left into lighter meals. Today is a strength workout rest day, but I'll shoot for getting my steps in a a short round of aerobics.
12/01 (S) 145.5 (Trend Weight 145.8) Ok. 1\10. I'll take it. Yesterday was on the high side of my calorie range and sodium was up a tad, but I was pretty close to the eating plan. I did get in a 20 minute aerobic session. It was late evening and I had to force it, but I got it in. Trend weight pulled down another 10th - so confident I'm past the holiday bump.
12/02 (M) 145.0 (Trend Weight 145.7) Yes! Mindful of my eating yesterday. Did not feel too well, so slugged my steps and workout. Today is day one of the Quench 5-Day Plan. Not as much of a diet as it is a way to increase more efficient plant-based hydration.
Morning smoothie was only 97 calories, and not particularly filling - so probably not a sustainable breakfast substitution. The plan makes using that morning smoothie as breakfast optional. I'll either need to make it more substantial, or make sure breakfast is light to stay within calorie range.
12/03 (T) 144.8 (Trend Weight 145.6) This is looking promising. I wasn't 100% on plan. Hubby wanted "Hamburger Glop" for dinner, which uses cream of mushroom soup and goes over biscuits or noodles. Pretty high starchy carb and high sodium. Being on plan for most of the day let me work that in and still stay within my set range.
Today is Day 2 of the Quench Plan. So far so good - and as you see, it kept me in range for the unexpected change in dinner menu. I'm going to try to bulk up my morning smoothie and see if that helps the mid-morning "I'm freaking hungry!"
12/04 (W) 145.2 (Trend Weight 145.6) Combination of a late night snack and normal fluctuation. Maybe stress. Had a crisis with one of my nonprofit organization's participants yesterday. Still going to be working through it today. Had skipped a couple of workouts, but got back on track with a 30 minute aerobic session. Felt good.
Day 3 of the Quench Plan. Haven't started moving yet today, but intentions are good 😊 Yesterday was good. I added a handful of oats to the smoothie and it made a huge difference. I'm not following 100% Lots of new things, imagine it will be a process like any other health habit.
12/05 (T) 143.7 (Trend Weight 145.4) Hmmm. I'd say this is part fluctuation, part weird day. I missed breakfast and dinner altogether, had 2 sweet potato stacks for lunch, and a bowl of Raisin Bran before bed. Totally blew off Day 3 of Quench. So much for good intentions, eh? 😜
Day 4 of plan has started well. Already had my lemon water, and getting ready to make my morning smoothie. I don't have dinner planned yet, so need to rummage around and take something out of freezer to thaw.
Today is a difficult day as we celebrate my late son's birthday. Family and friends will be drifting in and out. Maybe a big pot of vegetable soup!

11/30: 160.2-Had a terrific bike ride, chilly (40*f), but it felt so good to be outside.
12/01: 160.2-Discipline flagging a bit. 😕 Maybe just post-Thanksgiving and gray sky blahs.

12/03: 159.0-I guess attitude really is everything 😆.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/29 - 172.2
Yes, Thanksgiving, I ate too much. Back on track today, though I am going to have one modest slice of pumpkin pie. But no more dressing! Turkey leftovers, of course. I have to bake a cake for a celebration of life for a friend tomorrow, but i can’t sample, so that works. Definitely not shopping! (I may have to buy some yarn on line, though — I’m itching to knit.) wishing you all a fabulous weekend, whether you’re part of the post-TG crowd or elsewhere!

Forgot to weigh before eating. My schedule is off — a wonderful friend died yesterday, much too young, of pancreatic cancer, and I’m going to a Celebration of Life for another friend today. I couldn’t get to sleep last night — many thoughts banging around in my head.
12/1 - 172
Thanks, everyone, for your kind thoughts. The Celebration was both sad and uplifting, which is, of course, the point. I ate too many comfort foods — I.e., chocolate things — and felt bloated all evening. Onward.
12/2 - 173
There’s the delayed reaction from Thurs-Sat. It’s ok, but also set off blaring alarm bells and I think I’m finally awake. Plan in place for today and the rest of the week re. food. I’m hoping to get to the Y today, but have the Master Gardener final Wed. and a commissioned painting to finish by Friday, so I may not get there. If not, I have promised myself to put on my warmers and walk the 20-min neighborhood loop two or three times during the afternoon. Hold me to that!
12/3 - 172.4
I didn’t get my outdoor walks (icy rain) but did walk all over Menards! Also stuck to my food goals other than some air popped popcorn in the evening. Fiber!
12/4 - 172.4
DH made a fabulous high P, low cal dinner last night — roasted root veggies with chicken and pomegranate. Yum! Leftovers tonight, then I’m off to take my Master Gardener final exam. I plan to hit the Y on the way to get my blood moving.

Round 97 (Round 1 for me -- Except that I tried this a couple years ago & then stopped... I will still count this as Round 1 for me...)
58 yrs. SW: 160
SW Round 97: 156 lbs
11/29 156
11/30 156.6 Am happy that was all I gained, as yesterday was not planned at all.
12/01 155.6 Stuck with my meal plans, yesterday, and was happy to see this.
12/2 = 156.6 Well, I'm not surprised cause I blew it, yesterday, and had 2 slices of pie.Why? just a weak moment & the temptation of this whole beautiful pie that was going to be thrown away. I took it home for my husband & then dove in, too. What a nut! I can & will do better!
12/03 156.6 not great, but good yesterday. Today I stuck with my food plan.
12/04 156 Yay! But today free catered wonderful Greek lunch provided by building where I work. I had planned my meals, so blew it! Then couldn’t get back on track. Stressful work & stress of parents & paperwork. Ugh. Tomorrow is another day.

Jumping in very late but charted every day - end of round 96 weight - 175.2
11/29 - 175.8
11/30 - 177.6 Gain from late Thanksgiving celebration with family
12/1 - 176.4
12/2 - 177.6 Uh oh. Now I've got to get serious. Still have too many leftovers in the fridge but I'm back at work and have limited access to food. Will try to make good decisions when I get home
12/3 - 177.2 Didn't make the best decisions when I got home but eating light at work helped. DH was gone so instead of fixing a proper dinner, I pieced most of the evening. Veggie soup planned for tonight's dinner. Should be a better day.
12/4 - 177.6 I'm just not getting it. You cannot eat everything in sight and lose weight. I did have veggie soup last night but added two big handfuls of salty crackers. Also, finished the cranberry sauce from Thanksgiving and topped it off with 4 mint oreos. I am looking forward to getting ALL of the Thanksgiving goodies out of the house. I will do better today and stay away from the oreos (almost impossible but it can be done - I think).
12/5 - 176.4 - I stayed out of the oreos. Win. Tried frozen grapes - good. Still working on leftover turkey but that's okay.13
