Eat at/under calorie goal each day (I’m full time breast-feeding, so that’s still a lot of calories!). Be especially watchful of evening eating. Hydrate. Move. Lose any amount.

Small NSV — I baked a cake and a batch of cookies yesterday for events today and later in the week, but didn’t nibble.
No snacks during the day. Small snack in the late evening. Feeling motivated! 🥗🥚🍠🧘🏻🚴🏻♀️

Well, here we are at the end of another year and another decade. Here’s to all of us making way toward our goals in 2020!
12/31/19 - 175.4
Yeah, I snacked last night. Sort of a last blast. I also made chicken pot pie 🥧 from scratch for dinner, DH request, and it was delicious and rich and I confess, I ate more than I should have! Woke up to snow ❄️ so when it stops I’ll get my workout clearing the driveway and sidewalks. No partying tonight but I am planning to go to a women’s labyrinth walk and gathering, which should be a lovely way to see the old decade on its way. If you’re going out, be safe, have fun! 🎉
01/01/20 - 176
Time lag bounce there, I think. I did have the chicken pot pie leftovers last night, but ate close to calorie goal.
I expect a sodium bump tomorrow — DH wants to go out for Chinese. We had planned to do that Christmas Eve but I was sick. So it will be absolutely my last blast for a while, and I’ll stick to stir fry. Happy New Year, all!
01/02/20 - 176.6
Sodium. Chinese, and not enough water. It’s fine. Better days to come!
01/03/20 - 176.4
Have a great weekend, all!
01/04/20 - 176
I’m still struggling with the snack monster, but did manage to keep last night’s snack relatively low cal. Step by step back to the path. I did get started on my plan to rebuild my walking time. I used to walk 5-7 miles almost every day and stopped last year when I was in terrible pain from PMR. I’ve been walking sporadically that past few months but lost my distance mojo. I’ve created a schedule to add a mile a day each week until I can comfortably do 6 a day and occasional longer jaunts. Walking is so much more than exercise — it’s meditative and spiritual for me. So that’s the plan! Have a great weekend, all.

Jumping in here late. I used to do theses challenges and they really helped me stay on track. Fell way off the bandwagon nutritionally and am here to get some motivation to stay in control. Thanks for the support guys!

Back to life! Back to reality!
Last year, my goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.
This year, I exceeded that and have been below 150 for most of the last 2 months.
Last year, I put on 10 lbs over the last 2 months of the year.
This year, I have consistently lost weight since the end of July. I have put on about 4lbs over the Christmas break, but am still below my original 2019 goal.
That's a WIN in my book!
I need this more than ever now that I am in maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

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.

1/2 161.0 I took a break from this challenge while I was on vacation and through the holidays. I tracked only intermittently and did not eat as well as I normally do, so I could NOT be happier that I'm only up .7lbs after 20 days of not consciously being "good". This a HUGE NSV for me. I didn't track obsessively and still basically maintained. If it hadn't been Christmas and I hadn't made those lemon butter cookies I may have been even better . I missed reading everyone's stories I'm catching up today! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!!!!!
1/3 161.0 I'm always happy when it doesn't go up. The Mapmyfitness app has a You vs the year challenge. It's to run/walk 1020 kilometers, I missed it last year due to the stupid leg injury that derailed me for 6 weeks. I want to hit it this year. Fingers crossed for no injuries, I have 5 in as of today and hope to get in 12 or 15 in this weekend! I'm going to add it to this to help keep me accountable.
1/4 159.9 5 km I’m finally under 160 though only by a frog’s hair. Hey the good news is only 1010 km left! Hahahaha. I’m really recommitted after that break.12 -

Okay time to get back on track.
12/29 – 272.6 Back in the right direction.
12/30 – 270.6 The first of many drops, I hope. I do know I’ll have a bounce on the first because of New Years Eve plans. Once that’s done though I have nothing going on until my husband’s birthday in February.
12/31 – 270.0 I went out for dinner and was okay until we decided to get desert. It’s okay though I didn’t plan to be back fully on track until tomorrow anyway. I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Years!
01/01 – 269.4 I didn’t end up as far off track yesterday as I feared I would end up. I’m hopeful of staying on track now that all the holiday activities are over.
01/02 – 268.6 If the drops continue I should be close to my previous low soon. I was on track yesterday and I’ve been getting out and enjoying the nice weather we’re having. Nothing like hitting 12k steps on the first of the year. My goal for this year is to lose 50 pounds and if I hit that early I’ll set a new realistic goal for however long is left. I happily ended last year still under the halfway point to my ultimate goal weight.
01/03 – 266.8 While it’s not all the way back to my lowest weight I’m really happy to see this number. It’s about where I was bouncing around during the early part of my break. I know that even if I don’t drop quickly from here due to water loss it won’t be long before I’m hitting new lows.
01/04 – 265.0 So much water drop, so much wow.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29--Back in town after 5 days. We had a great time. I weighed myself when I got home late this afternoon, just to get some idea of how much of a bump up there is on the scale after my snacking and lack of water drinking, and I was only up 3.6lbs. I will weigh in tomorrow morning at my regular weigh-in time to get a more accurate number.
12/30--208.1 Only up 2.5lbs after being out of town, I am happy about that. Strength coach today. Goal for today is to get my water in.
12/31--207.8 Yesterday's workout with my strength coach was really hard, it's surprising how quickly my workouts can suffer when I haven't worked out for a such a short time. I'm back at work today after being off for a week, so the regular schedule today should make it easier for me to get my water in today.
01/01--208.1 Didn't fully get back to normal eating as my husband wanted to go out for dinner and some drinks last night. I went to see my strength coach today and it was another tough workout. I told my coach that for me this year is the year of flexibility, so that is what I will work on this year. Also, by working on my flexibility, it will also help me with my weightlifting.
01/02--207.4 Tonight is my 1st day of a 30 day yoga YouTube program I'm going to do, in order to work on my flexibility.
01/03--206.3 Finished day 1 yesterday of my yoga program, and while at times it was difficult, I felt so good afterwards. I did not have a great sleep last night, but luckily I am off today, but I do have some appointments today. I'm supposed to go to the gym today...we'll see.
01/04--205.9 No gym yesterday, I had a major headache from my horrible sleep the night before. I took a nap later in the evening and it definitely helped, so I was able to finish day 2 of YWA. Plan is to go out for a run today, once the rain stops, and I want to clean the house, that includes taking down the Christmas tree.

01/04 - 180.0 - that dastardly scale - just kidding, expected not to be solidly into the 170's for a few days more at least. I intentionally added more calories yesterday because I was feeling weak physically. I'm proud that I didn't do what the old me would do and binge because I was going over 1200 calories and instead I had 1424 calories. I had pecans and added salt (another goal to reduce since I eat way to much). Best pecans ever - shipped from a farm in Georgia who has no other nuts which is great since I'm severely allergic to peanuts. Enjoy your weekend!

Goal at end of 10 days: 179.9 - I'm not thinking any further than hitting 170's again. Once done then I can set next goal!!
Previous posts01/03 - 179.9 - Met 10 day goal - 6 pounds lost since I joined MFP on 12/27/19. Just squeaked it out this morning and finally back into the 170's!! Even if I go back and forth for a few days into 180's again, on this day I hit it and will enjoy it this morning. My goal for the rest of this 10 day period is to be solidly in the 170's to start the next 10 day challenge! Today will be the 7th day I've done intermittent fasting. In some ways, it's just happened naturally because I find when I fast, I start being able to go without eating somewhat easier and not as focused on food. Emphasis on "somewhat" as I'm not there all the way. Never being hungry in the mornings helps. However, last night I was very hungry. My average calories over the last 7 days has been 1163 (not net) with rowing every day but one burning 300 calories. I allow 1500 calories a day so if I go over 1200 I don't get into my old games of OMG I'm over by 1 calorie, I must eat everything in sight and start over, which means I'm going to eat for days as I try to get back on it. I've finally got it through my head that even an 1800 calorie day is better than deciding I blew it because I ate 1400 calories and must eat everything in the house! Another reason IF is good for me is my cravings are horrible in the late afternoon/evening so it's helping me to regain control of that time period. I'm going to up my calories a little and start snowshoeing or walking along with rowing. Challenge coming up: Playoffs and wanting to make all kind of good stuff. I think I'll do baked wings with very little blue cheese dressing! This is going to be a very fun weekend with all the games!!
01/02 - 180.1 - 7th day sticking to it! If 17 hrs. I'm thrilled with the scale going down but also know that some of it is water weight from the holidays and know it will slow down and may even go up a little in the days to come. However, what I'm really proud of is that I've stuck with it this first week since for me (and most people I'm sure) the starting, or getting back on it, is the hardest of all. I know I'm going to do it this time! Starting to have health issues and hitting the highest weight by far that I've ever hit freaked me out big time. When I joined this message board, and it was the first time I joined one, I wasn't sure if it would help, but it's really amazing how nice and supportive everyone is and how it really does keep you accountable and motivated.
12/29 - 183.9
What I did well: Ended 16/8 intermittent fast at 10am this morning for 18 hrs fasting. This works for me because I'm not hungry in the mornings. I can go to bed hungry and wake up not hungry at all and I eat 2 meals the day my fast ends. Waterrower for 30 mins, actual calories (not net) 1197, started new fast at 3:30pm. No sugar. No processed food. 4 vegies.
What I can improve on tomorrow: Eat at least 2 serv fruit, drink more water - only 5 cups today. Add some reps with free weights.
12/30 - 182.7 Yay! Ended Fast of 18 hrs. Too early to doc how today went but I have to say I feel very optimistic. I have never joined an online group before and I can already tell the accountability factor, reading all your posts with how you're doing and seeing your progress is extremely motivating. Additional goals: be able to climb 2 flights of stairs in house without getting winded and not have my bra cut me in half - sorry to the guys on here.
Evening update: Calories 1015 (not net), rowed 30 mins, did some free weight, stopped eating at 4pm, and did NOT eat sugar, which is great considering my cravings are all-in after the holidays - but they are subsiding, thank goodness. What I need to do better tomorrow: did not meet my vegie/fruit goal unless you count white potatoes and onions in a ham casserole as vegies Got to drink more water too!
12/31 - 180.9, and because i thought something was wrong with my scale , I weighed again later and it was 181.0 so 5 pounds in 5 days, BUT readying myself if it goes up tomorrow to not get discouraged. I must have had a LOT of water weight after Christmas. I thought it would go up today because I ate bread and potatoes yesterday (but kept calories low and rowed). The bread I eat though is homemade english muffin bread. It's higher in protein because made with bread flour and whole milk - no butter, oil, or eggs and just 63 calories per oz (and so good). 1221 calories. IF 19.5 hrs. I'm going to drink a lot of water today to see if I can keep my weight from shooting up tomorrow. I will enjoy the moment though!
01/01 - 180.6. IF 18 hrs. 1138 calories. Shoveled a foot of snow off my deck - it took me forever but burned calories like crazy and so nice to just be outside. Rowed 10 mins. Today I will eat those 6 vegies/fruit I keep saying I'm going to eat LOL and drink 64oz of water! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE. Here's to a very healthy 2020!8 -

Maybe I'll have a whoosh soon, but I'm not holding my breath so I don't get disappointed. At least I'm dropping and trending back downward so I cannot complain. Its been a rough week with migraines, nausea, and insomnia. But I'm pulling through and determined to get back on track!

Previous Day's Comments12/29 - The scale behaved better this morning. It actually shifted numbers when I moved so I believe this weight. Not bad for having an early dinner out with friends and a few drinks. I did wake up extremely thirsty so I drank almost a full bottle of water before I even got out of bed so I'm sure this is a bit higher than it would be had I not done that. Honestly forgot about weighing until I finally got out of bed and went into the bathroom. Quite happy to see 154.x again despite the water chugging.
12/30 - Holding steady, I'll take it. I was so hungry so I ended up having a really early dinner and then was hungry again when I went to bed. I knew I'd get a stomach ache if I ate that close to bed and it wasn't painful hunger so I let it go. Not hungry at all this morning so I'll take that as a win. Trying to fast until 11 (our lunch) and start this week with a good 19 hour fast. Also love work weeks simply because I'm THAT much better with my water intake. I get so lazy and forgetful at home. Goal is to continue water intake on Wednesday when I'm off.
12/31 - Hello again, how I've missed you! Hoping to say goodbye to 154.x and above as I say goodbye to 2019. Came in early to work so I can leave a little early for the football game and hopefully make my spinach artichoke dip for the group after. I still have to get some groceries for it so I'm not quite sure if it'll be for tonight or tomorrow. We shall see how things go. Happy New Year all!!
Edit: Boo, I realized TOM will be here any day now to help me ring in the new year. This makes me worry I'm not going to be saying goodbye to 154.x and above after all. Going to just have to work extra hard to stay on top of things in hopes I can avoid a blip (or that any loss is greater than or equal to any TOM blips I have)
01/01 - Hello, TOM. Hello water weight. This is expected, not too upset by it. We didn't really have "dinner" and instead had a bunch of finger food (chips and dip, bacon wrapped smokies, bbq smokies). My neighbor taught me how to make his family's chip dip and I loved it! Too many super-salty chips throughout the night. In hindsight I should have made sure to eat a proper dinner before starting on the snacks so I wouldn't be so hungry. Only had 2 drinks before the small glass of champagne at midnight. Hopefully this weight will be down very quickly and I'm sure I can before the end of the round. TOM bloat should be gone no later than Sunday and the salty water weight will be gone long before that as long as I can stay on track.
01/02 - Holding still. At least I can be happy that I haven't increased! Bloated like no other (I had too much dairy, lactose sensitive) I took my lactose pills which eased the discomfort from it, but didn't seem to ease the bloat itself. Going to push water today and try to watch my evening eating. Shouldn't be too hard now that the madness of New Years is over and normalcy resumed (was planning a low key event for New Years but my landlady came over and made it into a party and we are still recovering from her. All struggling financially so we don't want to waste the leftover food). Hoping, if I don't eat any more dairy, I'll lose the bloat by tomorrow and drop some water weight with it. I'm determined to get back down!
01/03 - Little bitty drop, I'll take it. I was so hungry last night -- my stomach HURT because I felt so hungry. Not sure what that was about. I ended up really thirsty, too, and almost met my water goal in a 2 hours span. Guess my body needed a bit of a flush. Still struggling with TOM issues (bloat and general sluggishness) but hoping it'll be over by tomorrow, I hate feeling like this. It seems worse than normal, but I know its because of my not-so-great choices with food, activity, and stress levels. I know I can control how my body feels but I seem to forget in the moment how that food, water, relaxation help. Leading me into: Today is Day 2 of Yoga With Adriene 30 day HOME. Excited to see where this takes me!

12/30 - 177.6 Lots of cooking and eating with the family for a late Christmas. Entree was ham so retaining lots of water. Looking for a 1-2 lb loss tomorrow if I can stay out of the leftovers and candy still in the house.
12/31 - 176.8 Water weight is leaving but I was unsuccessful in staying out of the leftovers. I will keep trying.

1/4 - 175.0 Eating waaaay under calorie limit and bathroom trip yesterday add up to this impressive loss. I don't usually do well on the weekend but I'm feeling very motivated today. I've made a to-do list and eating junk is not on it.

12/29 – 123.4
12/30 – 124.4 – There is the slight bump I have been expecting. I have been eating horribly, so I have honestly expected more and sooner. TOM is also on its way.
12/31 – 125.0
01/01 – 124.8 – Happy New Year! Still maintaining, but time to do a little more. I need to get back to tracking my calories and some intermittent fasting. Also planning to start jogging again with the goal of a 5k in the coming months.
01/02 – 123.0 – Did good on the calories, eating window from 9-7, but didn’t drink near enough water. I expected a slight drop but am surprised by this much. Jogged/walked 2.16 miles.
01/03 – 123.8 – Calories were good again, a little extra snacking though. Eating window was from 12-8, drank more water but still not enough.
01/04 - 122.8 - Calories good, still not enough water. I was hungry yesterday morning so my eating window was 8-8. Busy day at work and rain all day, so I didn't get any miles in.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29: 173.9 lbs, highest weight ever today. I've gained 30+ pounds in a little over 3 months. I've not been able to work out due to a running injury, which has sent me spirally out of control weigh wise. Time to be accountable again and log and weigh daily to get this under control. I know what to do and how to be successful in losing weight, just have to start. I don't expect a loss for tomorrow but commit to achieving a loss going forward in the days to come. Starting over is hard, but I have done this before, so I know I can do it again. Looking forward to the next 10 days.
12/30: 173.3 Goals for this round are...pre-log daily meals/calories, IF 16/8, little to no alcohol consumption, and get my exercise back on track with yoga and tentatively see if my foot is ready to ease back into running.
12/31: 172.6 Yesterday was partially successfully with logging and eating IF 16/8 but not the best choices with food and went over on calories by having a couple of glasses of wine. Hoping today to get on my treadmill (hate running indoors but it is a snowy icy mess outside) and see how my foot feels. I have a NYE get-together to go to tonight but am thinking I will skip it, as I don't need the temptations of party food/drinks derailing the little progress I have made this week.
01/01: 171.3 Had a very nice NYE, low key with my family and even enjoyed a little cheese & crackers+ Champagne and still had a loss on the scale this morning. Just sticking to 1 meal today as we went out for brunch and I feel so full even though I made smart choices. I've decided to wait 2 more weeks to see how returning to running feels and I got in a good body strength workout instead.
01/02: 172 Slight blip up from yesterday, no real reason for it...could be because yesterday I slept in and weighed later than normal. I'm doing well with IF 16/8, drinking water, limiting alcohol, not eating outside of meals or overeating, & logging but need to be better with my food choices and staying within my allotted calories. Today I have a double workout planned with a total body barre video + the 1st day of the 30 day YWA, HOME practice, looking forward to getting back into daily yoga.
01/03: 170.4 Happy to see this loss on the scale today! Yesterday was all around good, meeting all my daily goals + I meal planned for the next week and shopped for everything. I think an important thing for me, is to be excited for the dinners I am making and not feeling "deprived" there. I have found I am much more in control of the choices I make during the day (when I tend to go off the rails), when I know that I have a great dinner to look forward to. I got in another good workout yesterday too but feeling super sore and then didn't sleep well last night and woke up with a major crick in my neck, hopping today's yoga helps sort these aches out.
01/04: 169.5 Yay! Out of the 170s, and determined to never be there again!!! Food wise everything was on track yesterday + plenty of water and no alcohol. I decided to make it a rest day and skip yoga as I had a lot of muscle aches from returning to working out. Was a good decision, feeling a lot looser today and ready to tackle another tough workout. It's dreary and raining with some icy sleet coming so plan to stay indoors most of the weekend and get all the Christmas decorations taken down and put away. Have a great weekend everyone!

@tinabambina29 Prayers for your dad. Best wishes on your engagement. Friends of ours planned their wedding in 3 weeks. Our pastor friend was moving and they wanted him to officiate. Borrowed gown, simple flowers. You can do it, no need to get stressed.
@jenn990205 I agree on adult kids. They are still our babies. We never stop worrying or taking care of them! Prayers that this will be a more settled year for you!
@xcc670 Since there are no essential carbohydrates, what is “carbohydrate balance?”
I love that we are still picking up Newbies and I welcome you all!4 -
@tinabambina29 Congratulations! Best wishes to both of you! And hoping your dad has a speedy and easy recovery, heart problems are always scary.7

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
Do you take measurements? I’m terrible at that myself but if you are losing FAT and gaining MUSCLE your weight may not change but your body composition will. A pound is a pound but muscle takes up less space! - Jpv, 11/22/19

NEVER GIVE UP! You can surprise yourself! I have.
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.

12/29 122.5 No explanation for this bump unless it was the small bit of baked white potato at lunch yesterday or the little bit of dark chocolate (no sugar) from the night before. May not have had enough water. Low calorie, great macro day so not worried. Woke up at 3:30-the cat was crowding me off the bed.
12/30 122.5 Car woke me at 5, I was super tired so put him in his crate and went back to sleep. (He loves his crate and frequently goes in there to nap) Woke when the alarm went off at 7, got dressed and went to have labs drawn. You all know I’m really NOT a morning person. Going to a friend’s house to sew today so haven’t read all posts but I’m at the top of page 4.
12/31 122.0 I just ate a hearty breakfast - mostly. I’m not a breakfast person but hadn’t eaten since lunch yesterday and was getting the shakes. I had a fried egg with 2 extra yolks and a piece of leftover steak AND a Thomas’ English muffin. DH bought those to have the 2 days we were on the pre-cruise stay-cation. There was one left so I threw it in my bag and kept it refrigerated on the cruise and brought it back home. I grew up eating those and it had been calling to me since we got home 9 days ago. Now it’s gone. My carbs are going to be through the roof but it’s okay. This too shall pass. Looking forward to thee beginning of the new decade A YEAR FROM NOW.
01/01 122.0 Today is round 2 of (only one pan) sticky buns, this one for our cruising pals. I may have to do a round 3 after our neighbor returns from Alaska.
01/02 121.5 I ate no sticky buns yesterday and as a consequence of that, fasted until after 5pm.
01/03 120.5 I again got kicked out and couldn’t get back to the message boards.ARRRGH! My “progress” showed up but my day count was 0. I get the following screen when I try to go to “community.” Tried again and it tells me my session has timed out! Of course I never actually got in but. . .
01/04. 121.0 Today is the 49th birthday of our first born and she and her SO are taking their Westie to cross the rainbow bridge. I’m crying and sure they are too. Please say a prayer for @mbabydoll and Andy.9 -

Got married over the weekend. Thank you for all the well wishes from everyone here and on the R99 board! Learned it's true you don't have time to drink at your own wedding. I didn't log or track or weigh at all over the weekend, so less than half a pound jump from Friday morning is a happy surprise.
12/31 187.8
1/1 188.4
Lots of beer and champagne last night so I guess I'm not all that surprised the scale went up a little. Hoping it's mostly water weight!
1/2 187.6
1/3 DNW
Overslept and completely forgot to weigh myself until I was already at work. Oops.
1/4 188.4
This seems to be the number I can't overcome. Every time I eat something I know will make me bloat a little, 188.4 seems to be where I end up the next morning.

12/31 (Tuesday) - No scale
01/01 (Wednesday) - No scale
01/02 (Thursday) - 159.5 - thought that it would be worse, so happy with that.
01/03 (Friday) - 160.9 - Yeah, I have some work to do.
01/04 (Saturday) - 159.6 - I feel like I am settling back into the right track after all of the holiday indulgences.
