❤️❤️JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 100 ❤️❤️

fmfdfa2020 · January 2020

Thanks @grandmajackie, this challenge is great. First time joining in. I love setting short-term goals and everyone’s posts and successes are so motivating. Two days ago I hit my heaviest weight ever. I’m on my third day of eating healthy and exercising.

01/04 - 180.0
01/05 - 179.1 - Yesterday: 1093 calories, Rowed 30 mins, only 32 oz of water (horrible), only 1 vegie/fruit (what?) Okay, I am so happy to be losing this weight, however, this is about getting healthy in EVERY way. So, today, I WILL get 6 vegies/fruit in and drink 64 oz water!! That is my ONLY goal for today!. I'm upping my calories for the next few days also.

01/06 - 179.3 - Hopefully, I am solidly into the 170's now. I met my only goal for yesterday finally - ate 6 vegies/fruit and drank 64oz of water.

Will do the same today. Ate 2 slices of my homemade english muffin bread, took a day off from rowing, had 1292 calories. Beginning 12/27, I have had no sugar, no processed food, only white flour I've had is english muffin bread. And with IF at 18 hrs on average most days, my cravings have subsided quite a bit.

01/07
Goal at end of 10 days: 179.9

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!

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.

01/03 - 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!!

01/04 - 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 too 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!

Hi, I’m Karen and I’m 53.
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
Gym weight lifting class 2 x week
Walk +/- 7 miles 3 x week
Drink plenty of water, alcohol on weekends or holidays.

12/29-172-What bread and salt do to me....
12/30-171-I’m glad it’s Monday; that gives me motivation to get back on track.
12/31-170–I’m off to the gym.
1/1-171-Not bad after all of the eating and drinking I did last night. I’m sore from the gym yesterday and will get a big walk in today. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🎆🎊🎈
1/2-170-Hopefully I can keep a downward trend. I ended up walking 3 miles with friends, yesterday; today I’ll walk 7 mi. alone.
1/3-170-Got my big walk in yesterday; I haven’t done that for a while. We are going ice skating today and that makes me tired.
1/4-170-Ice skated with my friend and we were the only women over 50, it was a blast and I got a work out.
1/5-171-Walked 5 miles but then proceeded to have drinks, chips and Chinese food.

1/6-171-Cold and windy, so no walk. Ate a big spinach salad at dinner; no big deal. Today we will spend most of the day driving to and from our old house to do some stuff, it’s been on the market for over a year and it is finally in escrow. We are so glad.
Good luck with a new week everyone, hopefully we can end this round on a good note!

Round 100 SW 161.0 EW ????

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.

1/5 161.2 0 km I expected a bump. I did not resist the sodium heavy chicken sandwich yesterday. I had just started my walk when my BF called with an emergency, so I didn't get any trail time

. Luckily the emergency turned out not to be so bad after all but it was too late to finish my walk.

1/6 159.6 5.6 km I'm so happy to see that number this morning. I was low on calories yesterday because I had a huge late lunch and ended up with fruit and cheese for dinner because I was just not hungry. I'm fine after a banana and oatmeal for breakfast.

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine. - John C. Maxwell

My goal for 2020 is to get into ONEderland and making it stick. Changing my life.

12/29 – 123.4

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, c25k w1d1.
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.
01/05 – 122.8 – Calories good despite cake at a birthday party, need more water. 12:30-7. Got in 2.51 miles, c25k w1d2.

Thanks for the whole thousand days, and here’s to a thousand more! What an empowering group!

Goals for 2020 — eat consciously and responsibly, exercise and meditate daily, get back to productive writing & painting, help people, be kind, learn new things, have fun.

Goals this round.... Back to healthful eating. Aim for zero added sugar, no white and almost no whole grain flour products, lots of protein, veggies, whole grains, and healthy fats. Back to the gym 5 days/week and outdoor walks/hikes when not icy. Meditate daily. 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏼🥗🍎🥕🥦🏊🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️

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! 🎉

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!

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.

01/04/20 - 176
I overate yesterday but I got my walk in, so I call it a draw. Will try to do better today. Enjoy your Sunday, everyone.

@quiltingjaine I am not carol7878;)...But I thought it might interest you...Anyway, I am using keto sticks randomly just for fun, usually I can feel when I am in ketosis with different body signs. The blood meters are much more accurate (and more expensive). In the beginning the sticks are absolutely sufficient to show if you are in ketosis. The sticks are measuring what the body overproduces on ketones and gets rid of them that way;) Later, when the body is totally adapted for a longer period of time, it is said that the sticks won't show much anymore because the body then only produces as much ketones as it needs. I have been keto for about a year (fell off the wagon in November, now back to it) and the sticks are still showing me being in ketosis. I hope that helps you a bit...

12/30 / 125.6 / As a famous saying goes "Why choose failure when success is still an option"
12/31 / 125.8 / I’ll take this gain as we had a party yesterday. Hope to stay the course today!
01/01 / 125 / Goal: Relax today! - Didn't happen! I run a business and my wonderful Son-in-Law helped me upgrade my computer system.
01/02 / 125.8 / Not a bad eating day yesterday but could have been better. Would like to see some decent movement on the scale. Goal: Log everything. Press the “complete” button at the end of the day to provide more motivation!
01/03 / 125.8 / Emotionally a rough day. Did okay food-wise.
01/04 / Water aerobics, No weigh-in
01/05 / Wedding anniversary, no weigh-in, but have been watching what I eat and choosing wisely
01/06 / 123.6 / Surprise! Just confirming… those little things that I try to convince myself don’t really make a difference, do! I have been basically cheat-free (celebratory glass of wine for anniversary). Pleasantly surprised and super motivated! Aiming for a cheat-free day today.

12/29 - 239.2 Wow this thread has exploded in the last day or two! I need to catch up! Weight fluxed up for no apparent reason, but a random pound back and forth is not unusual for me.
12/30 - 238.4 Okay at least it is headed back in the right direction. Portion control yesterday, but the weather was too nasty to consider a walk. Today looks like more of the same (thunderstorms, tornado watches), so no lunchtime walk in a suit, but at least I can take a leisurely few laps inside my office building (it has a perimeter hallway.) The rest of the Christmas cookies and fudge and candy went into the freezer last night, and some pastries and mincemeat pies are headed to the office to get them out of my hands.
12/31 - 238.8 Going sideways weight wise. Today's lunch is mostly fruits and veg, so that might help. But there is a NYE party tonight..... ugh. I just know it'll be fried things and sweet things and adult beverage things. My inner fat boy is still firmly in control -- I have to lock him up!
01/01 - 239.0 This is my last day of excuses. NYE party last night. Ate small amounts (for me) of nothing but crappy food, but did have two large cocktails. Today is a new start. Happy New Year, all!
01/02 - 238.2 Aaaand we continue our game of pinball! Back down again. Less food consumed yesterday, I just wasn't hungry. But also less activity than normal, so who knows. I will get a walk in today, somehow.
01/03 - DNW - stomach bug
01/04 - DNW - stomach bug
01/05 - 239.2 Okay, someone needs to explain to me how I can eat nothing but toast and coca cola for two days (plus some applesauce last night) and end up putting on weight???? Starting to feel human again (got to church this morning so clearly I am not an invalid) but no appetite for anything -- although I am knocking the heck out of a pot of coffee.
01/06 - 237.2 My body is clearly just messing with me now! (or my high tech scale is....)

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.

01/05 – 266.6 Hmm not 100% sure why the bounce up. It’s okay though I know it will drop back down again.

01/06 – 265.8 I’m both surprised and proud of myself this morning. I got honorable mention in one of my groups’ step challenge with 78,789 steps for last week! When I first started MFP I was always so jealous of how many steps everyone else posted about getting. I never thought I’d ever get even close to the numbers they had, so this is nice nsv for me.

@tinabambina29 - 1st Congratulations on engagement! Secondly, I hope all is well with your Dad. And lastly, life happens. This journey is not a straight line. Put it behind you and get back on track asap whenever that is for you. Just don't let it drag on. Sooner is better than later. That is why I weigh daily because doing so helps me from getting tired or giving up. So, whatever you do the scale is your friend. Keep weighing and you will not lose sight of the BIGGER picture Hang in there and welcome back!!

Thank you so much!! And thankfully he's doing so much better and recovering quickly

You're absolutely right and I couldn't agree more. I weigh daily too! I know a lot of people say it will just drive you crazy, but it actually keeps me more sane and in control. Thank you again and so happy to be back!

@mthomas0228 I’ve been watching your posts and clapping bravas. I know you work out and do IF. What else, if anything, are you doing? I lost very quickly like you a year ago on a very restricted elimination diet (from a weight I was already happy with), but don’t really want to go quite that extreme again. (I think the restriction ultimately prompted my months-long splurge and horrifying gain.) Anyway, your loss is inspiring! Thnx.

@SheilaBoneham Thanks so much! I regularly posted on this thread about a year ago and lost approximately 30 lbs and was about 6 pounds away from my goal weight when I stopped logging. I maintained within about a 10 pound range up and down for a good while. This summer, an old running injury flared up while half-marathon training and I had to stop all my workouts and decided to try Keto to off-set any weight gain. I HATED Keto but was able to lose a few pounds and maintain without working out. In September I stopped Keto and spiraled out of control with my food and drink choices and packed on 30 pounds in 3 months, CRAZY!!! I'm really motivated right now to lose the weight for good and maintain and I think that is the number 1 reason I have any success, I have to really be comitted to lose. As you mentioned I am doing IF 16/8 which really works for me, after about a week of eating this way, I no longer get hungry with any emotions attached to it, more like "time to eat" instead of "I'm starving, must eat all the foods". I am working out, but not as much as I have in the past, easing back into it. Currently not running at all, but doing yoga (Yoga with Adrienne) and body weight exercises (Betty Rocker). I too have been restrictive with my diet in the past and it just doesn't work for me in the long run, have to have balance. Currently living in the 80/20 range of healthy (no processed foods)/whatever I want. I am drinking a lot of water and have extremely limited my alcohol consumption, which before played a big part in my weight gain. I am also a big believer in having a green smoothie everyday. I am currently not eating out and doing a lot of cooking which I enjoy, with dinner having about half of my daily calories. I have my calories set at 1400 and only eat back calories burned from exercise when I am distance running. And I give a lot of credit to my previous loss of 30 lbs to posting every day on this thread and hope to get the same success again being accountable here. Thanks again for your kind words!! We can do this!!

{Day/Weight/Comment}

▪12/29 - 187.4 - 59g carbs.
▪12/30 - 187 - Took the day off from recording in my food diary. I made everything that I ate, but did not feel like putting the recipes for all of it in MFP. I just estimated 2000 calories for the day.

▪12/31 - 187.6 - IF/21hrs. 104g carbs. Meal times~ 4:30, 7pm.
▪1/01 - 191 - Full of TOO MUCH!
IF/16hrs. 87g carbs. Too many days of high calories, high carbs, high sodium the last 2 weeks. I feel hungover and I don't even drink alcohol! Purging until Sunday.
▪1/02 - 187 - 72g carbs. IF/19hrs. Gradually stepping down the carbs this month, then back to 18/6 IF (or 19 or 20😐) and basic keto, 20g total carbs. Considering one weekly 24hr fast. I always have one day during the week that I am just not hungry, so I'll take advantage of it.
▪1/03 - 187 - IF /21.5hrs. 79g carbs. Carbs were lower until I decided to eat half a small grapefruit (16.5g carbs😢) Lol. No more grapefruit. I'll let my DH enjoy them. Today will be close to my target of 20g total. UNLESS, I decide to have a cup of black eye peas (25.5g carbs? hmmm) No.
▪1/04 - 188.8 😕 - IF/19hrs. 30g carbs. I don't know except for a return to exercising.
▪1/05 - 188.8 - IF/19hrs. 34g carbs. Not a minute's sleep last night😩

▪1/06 - 188.6 - IF/17.5hrs - I slept well, because I was so exhausted from the night before. Tried to power through my exercise , but I already knew that wasn't gonna happen. I will add it to today's workout. *So, so glad that the holidays are over. As I've said before, I don't celebrate them anymore, my family does. During the year, I don't have anything sugary in my house and only occasionally bread and crackers for DH & DS. Now that does not mean that they don't eat sugary foods all year, they eat plenty on their own, so when Thanksgiving and Christmas roll around, I buy a few things for them that they enjoy. Problem is, I eat it too, not a lot, but enough to create weight gain for my WOE. The REAL problem is I eat it because it's here. I still do not crave it. I eat it and it doesn't even taste good to me. The foods are too salty, too sugary, too pasty tasting. I eat it, because it's CRUNCHY or I can make it crunchy (bread) I desire crunch. How do I break that? Anyway, just my thoughts in words. Currently, I have had 13 days (just counted it) of no peanut butter. I have gotten into a habit of eating it to make up for the protein and fat I was missing in a day, only a lot of carbs come with it too. I will not buy it anymore.

*2020 is my commitment year to breaking 2 habits, crunchy, (no pretzels!) and peanut butter.
Okay, it's in the world now and I will do it.

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!

01/05: 168.9 Slept in this morning and weighed late, so this might not be an accurate number, so there might be a slight blip up on the scale tomorrow & I'm ok with that. Spent the morning getting a Beef Bourguignon prepped and into the slow cooker for dinner tonight and plan to spend the rest of the day organizing kitchen cabinets/food pantry, removing more Christmas clutter and getting in a solid workout. I'm about a week into returning to eating IF 16/8 and feel a positive noticeable change in my hunger levels as everything is evening out.

01/06 169.1 Weighed in at my regular time this morning, so this is likely a truer weight than yesterday's. My initial goal for this round was to be under 170, but I would really love to end this round tomorrow under 169. Busy day today, but I need to make my workout a priority. I feel like I am doing well with my logging and staying within my calories but need to be more committed to finding the time to workout.

Congratulations on your engagement! and sorry to hear about your father, I hope he is recovering well ! It's a roller-coaster of emotions to go through in a short time, be kind to yourself!

Thank you so much!! It seriously has been a lot going on, but thankfully dad is recovering quick and things are slowly getting better

@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.

Thank you so much! I know it ca definitely be done so I'm trying not to stress, Especially after hearing about 3 weeks oh man!

01/06- 208.6: So so happy to be seeing progress with my numbers. I think I emotionally ate like crazy these past couple weeks and it make me feel to sick. TOM also showed up so that explains a lot. Went back up a little today, butI'm just happy for the overall 2lb loss in these past couple days.
Also went to Aldi yesterday and they have a really great Wellness Planner. I'm enjoying filling it out and it helps keep me on track.

12/29 - 174.8

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.

1/1 - 177.2

1/2 - 178.8 I will not give up! Yesterday at home all day with leftovers from Christmas and New Year's celebration was too much.

1/3 - 177.2

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.

1/5 - 174.2 Good day yesterday. The Christmas Tree is down and decorations put away. A lot of other household chores done. Sunny and 50 here today so hiking may be this afternoon's activity.

1/6 - 174.0 Good weekend. A few extra calories but a loss for the weekend is a definite change from the usual. Ready to finish out this round with a loss.

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.

1/1: 132.8 - happy new year!

1/2: 132.6 - still on task and feeling motivated. Went to the gym this morning and added some more exercises. Back and biceps today. Thinking about adding a couple more days of weight lifting, I'm really liking it.

1/3: 132.2 - woot! Nice to see the hard work paying off on the scale. 45 minutes strength training yesterday, no pickle, still resting my arm. Planning to pickle tomorrow. I think my results are finally showing physically, I'm liking how my clothes are fitting.

1/4: 132.2 - pretty happy to still be seeing this number. We all get the ups and downs and I've been going just down, am expecting the back up to happen any day now. Wouldn't mind if this was my new "high number". Played 3 hours of pickleball in the sun today and loved it. Went for a 20 minute run yesterday, forced myself to do it. I made a commitment to do at least 20 minutes of exercise every day in January.

1/5: 132.4 - ate out last night and although I took half home, pretty sure it was full of salt. Tis ok, just a little blip. Resting today, I'm really sore from either the unexpected run or the 3 hours of pickle yesterday. Probably a little of both. Will clean around the house to get my 20 minutes of activity in.

1/6:131.8 - woot! Finally broke below 132, it's been a very long time. Made veggie stir fry last night. Ended up going on a 30 minute walk yesterday and got up and out early to go to the gym this morning. Back and biceps done. Now just need to keep my food in check today. Starting a sign language class at the university tonight, excited and nervous.

29: 197.2
30: 197.5 I installed laminate flooring in my daughter's room yesterday, and I'm kind of sore today. Probably just water weight.
31: 197.5 🥚 More flooring installation yesterday. Still sore. Plus ovulating window. Going out for a nice dinner with my family tonight for New Year's. Reservations are at 4:30 because it's all they had left within my eating window. So, probably will be over calories, but it's an early last meal for me which means longer fasting. May be up a little tomorrow, but I'm not gonna worry about it.

☃️🧣❄️ January ❄️🧣☃️
1: 197.9 🥚 Not too bad considering that I indulged last night. Prime rib, parmesan au gratin potatoes, a glass of Pinot noir, and chocolate lava cake. I ended my eating window at 6 instead of 7 and didn't break fast until about 12:30 today. I'm excited to see what the next drop looks like.
2: DNW - 🥚 left home super early and are before returning home
3: 197.4 🥚
4: 196.0 🥚 There's the expected drop. I'm really enjoying being able to predict these patterns that we learn about ourselves when we weigh daily. This is a new low for me. I think the last time I saw this weight was when I was gaining weight while I was pregnant with my son who turned 15 last month.
5: 196.5 Over calories yesterday because I only had whole milk instead of my coconut milk for my protein shake. Interestingly, my overage was almost exactly the calorie difference.
6: 196.4
7:

There's no such thing as failure; only feedback.
