01/19171.8 so glad to see a couple days of loss in a row 🙌
01/20-171.8IF allowed me to eat a burger for lunch and wings for dinner and still stay the same weight today, im cool with that😎
01/21-171.2 sweet. Didn't get a workout in yet this week but calories has been good. Need to drink more water though.
01/22-170.6woohoo
01/23-170.2 first workout of the week yesterday, feeling good about this challenge. Seems like my kiddos are coming down with something, really going to have to stay strong if they get sick, that always throws me off.
01/24-171 not stressing
01/25-171 went over calories yesterday but tracked every bite I took. Proud of that at least. Also my weight stayed the same so im not too stressed. Just have to be smart today

Calories were fine yesterday, but I had lunch out with a friend and I’m sure I got a big sodium blast. This evening we’re going to a tiny pitch in, but I’ll aim for healthy. I’ll have to sample desserts so I don’t insult anyone, but will keep it small. Happy Saturday, all!

1/19/20 - 177.4
It is COLD this morning — 7F, feels like -11. Whee! Wishing you all a comfy, safe Sunday. ❄️🌬☃️

1/21/20 - 177.2
Aaack. I thought I was gaining control and then had ice cream last night. Oh, well, today’s another day and another fresh start.

1/22/20 -178.2
Oh, come on. I was fine on calories yesterday. Maybe it’s the ice cream from Monday. Whatever.

1/23/20 - 177.2
Okay, that’s better.

1/24/20 - 177
It’s a dreary day here — I think this afternoon, after the gym, I’ll curl up with a book. Happy Friday, all!

1/25/20 - 177
I’m ready and a half for spring, and we haven’t even had much snow so far. But it’s cold and dreary. Yuch. Have a good weekend, everyone!

R102 - Second Round for Me. Theme: No Excuses!!!!
Goals in 2020: gain lean muscle mass, gain strength, improve running times, focus on macros esp protein goals,hit goal weight.

56 year old, female, 5' 7"ft
Heaviest W: 160
Current W:. 148.2
Challenge GW: Lose 2 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment:
1/18: 149.2 (+1) - Cheat day extraordinaire! Movie with darling daughter so of course popcorn and candy. Sorry not sorry. She’s back to college on Monday and I got to spend time with her! Worth every calorie. Bummer is today I am in 9 hours of tax return training to become a volunteer preparer. I hate sitting for that long!!!!😵

1/19: 148.0 (-1.2) This is not going to last lol! 😂 I sat on my fanny all day in a training class yesterday and had a nice dinner with wine. But that is weight for you! Today, run and gym and good food choices.

1/20:148.2 (+.2) Another week, another chance to kill it with good food, exercise and self care. Let’s get it💪💪

1/21: 147.2 (-1.0) Rollercoaster scale…..went to yoga yesterday so the chill feels maybe helped relax my hold on fat. Today, strength circuit and cardio. Sleep is always better without alcohol!

1/22: 146.8 (-0.4) Ate ok today. Prolly could have eaten less. Had a couple of drinks….not sure why, but feeling stressed. Time for another yoga class. More water. Cardio day.🙌

1/23: 146.8 (0) Planned my eating around my book club so I could have the snacks and drinks. Good plan and workout. I will say that I do so much better sticking to the plan when I am not social. But alas, I can’t hide under a rock. I have to learn to do this MFP thing always, everywhere, forever. Cheers🍾

1/24: 148.2 (+1.4) Not that surprised….a couple of social outings and drinks and TMI alert, retaining too much if you know what I mean 😣 I always do better when I can control what is served. 2 types of cheesy pasta was not it. Oh well, love my friends so I will just get back to it this weekend.

1/25:147.8 (-.4) By Friday I am so sick of cooking and thinking about it and eating chicken! We had small filets and crabcakes. Yum. I will see that tomorrow. Oh well.🙄

@CamandJarvis A point to consider with C1 — a 2 hour commute each way amounts to 20 hours per week of unpaid “work.” Just something to add to your equation.

Original start weight: 178 lbs (Oct. 10, 2019)
Goal this round: 163.0 lbs and stay or be lower than for three days.
Ultimate goal 135 lbs.

Round 101 End/Round 102 start weight: 163.6 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 163.6 lbs

01/19 162.2 lbs We were having a blizzard so in order to get my steps in I walked 5 miles in my house with family home, pretty sure they think I am crazy. Not going to kid myself that this is going to stay but hoping this means I am closer to my goal for this month.

01/20 163.4 lbs Hubby wanted breakfast, so I cooked and he wanted me to eat with him, which meant I broke my fast to early in the day and I knew we were going out for pizza and beer with friends in the evening but it was too long of a time to wait between and I ended up snacking and going over my calories. But it was a great day with family and friends and we need those days too, mentally. Still no exercise except snowmobiling but we are suppose to warm up above zero this week, hoping to do some cross country sking.

01/21 165.0 No idea what happened here. around 1200 calorie, made it 10,000 steps, IF from 8pm to noon. I wish I could exercise more. No access to a gym, hoping to ski today because it's too icy to walk.

01/22 162.8 lbs I did try sking but it was windy and raw on the face, snow is not the greatest but made it a mile. Hoping to ski with friends this afternoon, wind should be less.

01/23 164.4 lbs. Skied three miles.

01/24 163.8 lbs. Skied three miles. Under calories. IF 16 hours, if I haven't skied, I have been walking 2 miles and doing a workout this week. I can not believe all this up and down. What am I a bobber, at least I am not sinking. Though, this is the hibernating season and I usually gain and then the other seasons on the farm are so busy no time to do anything extra or eat and I loose winter weight, so I just have to remind myself that I should lose other weight this summer.

01/25 162.0 lbs. Skied two and half miles, a little breezy and cold. More wind expected today. I am surprised at this weight because I skipped supper and had a bowl of ice cream to stay under calorie. But was ok for calories.

@CamandJarvis
Wow....great summary of your job search. I'm in TX too and the economy is great so I am so glad you have so many opportunities and know your worth. I think a 20K paycut is ridiculous. Hell to the no IMHO esp since you have companies vying over you. Can't wait to hear where you will land - hopefully your first choice with a great paycheck!💪

@jaccimc63 I LOVE doing planks! I did an MFP plank challenge couple of years ago but stopped for some reason. Every morning when I read here, I think “oh, I need to do those again!” Do I remember by the time I finish the boards?? NOPE!

01/18 189.6 Went out to dinner last night and ate some bread and a few bites of spumoni and had wine, so happy I didn't gain. Hope it doesn't show up tomorrow. Plan on going on a long walk today and doing resistance exercises and clean eating today.
01/19 191.2 Looks like my weekend debauchery has caught up to me! Time to refocus.......
01/20 192.4
01/21 194.8 wow! This long weekend has shown me why it's so important to stick with a plan!!! Let's get these numbers going down again!!
01/22 193 Well...at least it's going back down.
01/23 191.6
01/24 190.6 Hopefully I'll be lower than when I started at the end of this round. I can't let the weekend derail me!!

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.

01/18 121.0 Got up late.
01/19. 122.0 Was in an all day sewing class yesterday. We had a buffet of deli meat and cheese. I keto-ed the best I could with the selection available and suspect this might be water. Didn’t drink enough water. My back was killing me when I got home but feels better now. No worries about the blip.
01/20 120.5 Meeting DD#2 and her husband for her late birthday lunch. Great Greek - YUM!
01/21 121.5 I haven’t been tracking food for a week, haven’t been to the gym since 1/13 and may have slacked off in water. I need to get my act together and not be complacent. I have failed too many times in the past! I have 1/2 of my Greek Salad left from yesterday.
01/22 122.5 Ate way too many carbs yesterday. I ate a snack at 9pm and went to bed - pork rind nachos so it was keto but I could not keep my eyes open and was falling asleep in my chair so went to bed at 9:40 and slept until 6AM! Meeting Amy at the gym today.
01/23 121.0 19 hour fast yesterday then had 1c cauliflower with butter and cheese and a 5 oz burger - no bun. It was quite satisfying.
01/24 120.0. Essentially ate carnivore yesterday.
01/25. 121.0 Sweet Tomatoes yesterday, out late last night and up too early this morning. Meeting friends at Hibachi Grill for his birthday today.

So ready for Round 102 (my 3rd)

Started MFP 12/27/19 - Heaviest Weight Ever - 186.0
Round 100 -7.6 lbs (actually 12 days - includes the 2 initial days on MFP)
Round 101 -1.9 lbs

Round 102 Starting Weight 1/17: 176.5

1/18 176.0
1/19 176.0
1/20 177.0
1/21 177.0
1/22 175.9
1/23 175.0
1/24 175.4
1/25 175.2 Wasn't going for IF today but ended up with 15 hours. My number of hours for IF is always based on my fast ending when I have 1/2 cup of whole milk in my tea (yes,1/2 a cup in a 1 cup of tea - my husband laughs when I pour a 'splash' of milk in it. LOL). It's 75 calories but I usually don't eat until 2 or 3 hours later. Had a really good day again yesterday - rowed 30 mins, lots of vegis, some fruit and pretty good on water - not great. 1170 calories which seems to be naturally where my body wants to be around right now. I was eating bread but I've stopped for now because I hate when I use calories on it when I could have so much more of something else and not get hungry later. I have my eyes on one thing right now - I want to see 160's again!!

1/26
1/27

Goal for Round 102 - to continue to eat healthy, drink water, no sugar or processed food. IF 4 out of 7 days, Row, lift weights and walk. 174.5 pounds

Tracking my next goal: hit 160's again!!

Round 102 Daily Recap

1/18 176.0 I've lost 10 pounds! What a great way to start this round. It was time for a slight drop so very happy to see it! I had my doubts because I didn't exercise yesterday, or drink enough water and I made english muffin bread and had one slice, which I was still only 1157 calories. The bread only has 63 calories an oz. What I'm most proud of though is the fact I only ate one slice of bread. NEVER in the past would I have had the willpower or control over my cravings to do this, especially in the evenings! Here's to this being a successful round for all of us!

1/19 176.0 I've had a small cold so hadn't exercised for a few days. Rowed 30 mins this morning. Will be shoveling snow later today. Beautiful Sunday morning with the snow untouched yet and deep blue sky. Have a lovely day all!

1/20 177.0 - Yike, that wasn't easy to write.

It just reminds me that I can't get too excited or too low whichever way the scale goes and watch the trend. First time over 1500 calories in 3 weeks on Saturday - 1671 calories, which isn't too bad. Yesterday was 1391 but too many carbs and too much sodium. I've had a cold so didn't exercise Friday and Saturday but did row yesterday and this morning. Have not drank enough water either. So many things to work on over the next eight days of this round! I'm still happy to be out of the 180's FOREVER!!!!

1/21 177.0 Okay, I guess this is the weight I'm going to have to work with

What I did well: Before, I would have been binging and off my 'diet' for weeks by now and especially if my weight went up. The fact I'm still encouraged and sticking to it I am EXTREMELY grateful! I held my calories at 1573 and rowed. I appreciate the small changes that aren't scale related like the fact my clothes fit better.
What I didn't do well: I did not drink water. I ate too many carbs. I made chicken soup for my cold a few days ago and did not have low sodium chicken broth so too much sodium. I haven't done IF for a few days. I haven't had enough vegetables or fruit.
So, I'm throwing down a challenge to myself by writing down all my goals for today on tomorrow's date and I will have to take them off if I don't do them

1/22 175.9 I wrote these goals down yesterday to get back on it and did it! 64 oz of water _Yes_; 4 vegies _YEP_; 2 fruit: _Yes_ (my favorite: frozen blueberries, raspberries and milk in a blender - so good)_; stayed under 1200 calories: _1180_; rowed: _Yes_; turn on favorite songs and dance for 10 mins (because music makes everything better!) _Yep_; began IF before 5PM: _did it!_
I felt like I was slowly losing all the good habits I had created over the past 3 weeks. I can handle my weight fluctuating because that's perfectly normal, as long as I'm doing the right things; however, what got me over the past 3 to 4 days was I could tell I was starting to slip back into my old ways and know from experience this leads to me binging and falling off entirely for weeks, and gaining all my weight back to boot. Not this time, though. I caught myself, learned it's okay if I'm off a few days (it doesn't mean I blew it) and I don't have to be so damn rigid - just get right back to eating healthy and exercising. Goodness, losing weight really is as much about your mental/emotional health as it is physical, isn't it...?! AND working on both is necessary!

1/23 175.0 - Yesterday was another good day. Calories: 1181 / Rowing: 30 mins / Vegies: 4 / Fruit: 2 / Water 50 oz (ok, not great) / IF 17 hours. Made it thru 3 or 4 days of feeling like I was about to cave - glad to be on the other side of that!

1/24 175.4 IF 17 hrs / Calories: 1080 1181 (correcting my calories for yesterday) / Free Weights

Round 102, 19th Round for Me
Starting Weight: 283.2 lbs
Goal Weight: 281.2 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment

01/18: 282.9 lbs (-0.3) ... Down a bit more today. Hopefully I’m done with my eating struggles and can stay on the right path going forward.

01/19: 281.3 lbs (-1.6) … Nice little whoosh there. Let’s see if I can hold onto it! This is my first new low weight since late November.

01/20: 281.3 lbs (no change)

01/21: 282.6 lbs (+1.3) … Up a little. Still on track with my eating plan so it’s just a fluctuation rather than anything to worry about.

01/22: 281.6 lbs (-1.0) … And away most of that fluctuation goes. Much better than I expected, since dinner was a bit carb-heavy (rice) and later than usual.

01/23: 281.3 lbs (-0.3) … I keep seeing this number this round!

01/24: 282.1 lbs (+0.8) … Small uptick. We ate dinner a bit late last night. I was within budget though, so it’s nothing to worry about. To be honest, I’m just glad I’m bouncing around 281-282 rather than higher!

01/25: 280.6 lbs (-1.5) … another new low! Getting closer to -110, which is a major goal for me. Once I surpass -110, I’ve lost more weight than I did back ten years ago.

Day/Weight/Comment

01/18 - 387.1 - Good start. Knee pain almost gone. Gonna try a little walking and lifting today.
01/19 - 387.1 - My knee finally feels better, but now I've got on helluva head cold. I'll rest today, but may try a little something later.
01/20 - 386.2 - Still have my cold, but feeling better. Definitely going to the gym today.
01/21 - 385.0 - HUGE jump over the last few days. From illness or changes? I began intermittent fasting on Sunday 15/9 pattern. A little tough without those late night snacks, but mornings aren't too bad if I drink water/sea salt to replace electrolytes, then coffee when I get back from my walk. Gonna focus that first meal @ 10AM on protein and last snack @ 7PM on protein bar.
01/22 - 383.6 - The only major change in the past few weeks has been starting Intermittent Fasting. I don't want to drop too fast, but I also expected a fast initial drop. As long as I can slow it down (w/ more calories in my eating window), I'll be fine.
01/23- 381.2 - OK, even I am a little surprised how well IF seems to work for me. I still have a head cold, so little exercise, at all. This weight loss is all Intermittent Fasting, so, for me, this seems to work very well.
01/24 - 379.8 - And the drop continues. Considering I was over 400 lbs. just before Thanksgiving, I'm very happy. Just getting over this headcold, plus starting Intermittent Fasting almost a week ago, this seems to be MY key.
01/25 - 379.3 - As much as I like losing weight, if the drop continues at this rate I may have to modify Intermediate Fasting and break the fast early one or two days per week. I'll give it one more week and then make those decisions.

Round 101 EW - 172.8

1/18 - 172.4
1/19 - 171.8
1/20 - 172.0 Great weekend. Ate sensibly. Going to keep it going at work this week.
1/21 - 171.8 Monday was good. Found some dark chocolate covered almonds on the clearance shelf. Just a couple of these delicious morsels make the best reward at the end of the day. (Hard to eat just 2 but there are only 12 so I'm going to try to make them last - my challenge for the week).
1/22 - 171.0 This round is going great. I think I've found a plan that will work. I'm eating mostly the same meals every day which makes it soooo much easier for me. No decisions. Eating a lot of eggs (love eggs) cooked every which way with different bits of meat/veggies thrown in. No cholesterol problems so not worried about that. Throw in a good salad with lots of good veggies. A small piece of chocolate and ta-da the weight is coming off. Oh yes, also lots of water! (There are other foods involved but not on a regular basis.)
1/23 - 170.6

1/24 - 170.6 Ok with this. Ate a bit more yesterday. Happy there wasn't a gain.
1/25 - 171.2. Weekend + wine. Pizza tonight. I will try to be mindful of how much is too much. Babysitting this afternoon with 3 yr old and 6 mo old. Can't wait! No grandkids yet but this is good practice.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18--205.0 I barely drank any water yesterday. My upper back is still sore from yesterday, but I did take some pain meds and used a heating pad last night and it definitely helped. Hubby and I are going to paint the laundry room/storage room this weekend. I'm going to try and go out for a walk today, but it's supposed to be raining all day so who knows.
01/19--204.8 Upper back feeling better. Hubby finished 1/2 of the painting, and I will do some more painting today. Strength coach today.
01/20--204.5 I had a dexa scan on Friday and frustratingly, my body fat % hardly changed from my last scan. While, I did lose a good % of body fat, because I also lost lean muscle mass, my body fat % basically stayed the same from my last scan. I talked to my strength coach yesterday about the results, and it was clear that I'm not eating enough protein. So, my first goal is to get my protein amount to 100g per day, I need to eat more than 100g, but it's a start.
01/21--204.5 106g of protein yesterday. It took a bit of maneuvering to make sure that I got in my protein, which included a late evening snack of roasted chicken, but I got my protein in. Rest day today.
01/22--204.3 105g of protein yesterday. It was a little easier to get my protein in as I was a little better at planning it out. But it was more difficult in that the increased protein made me feel fuller throughout the day, such that by lunch time I didn't want to eat anymore, even though I hadn't eaten enough calories for the day, and I still needed to eat more protein to reach my protein goal. I know it will take my body a little while to get used to the increase in protein, so I just need to stick to it. Strength coach today.
01/23--204.5 100g of protein yesterday. I had a great workout yesterday. Rest day today.
01/24--205.0 101g of protein yesterday. I am treating my 100g of protein goal as a game. Last night I needed 1g of protein to reach my goal, so I started looking in my cupboard and reading all of the nutritional labels. Then I found out that one piece of my dark chocolate has 1g of protein, I was so excited...so of course I had to have 2 pieces.
01/25--206.1 101g of protein. I bought some prepared food for dinner last night, so there definitely was some extra sodium. I am going for afternoon tea today, so I expect a jump tomorrow as well.

Day/Weight/Comment:

01/18: 130.0 - smack dab on my original goal weight this morning. I’ve decided to eat at or below maintenance for a couple weeks, continue to work on strength training and then possibly losing another 5 lbs. Had a fantastic first day back to the gym yesterday, an hour total including 20 minutes elliptical.

01/19: 130.0 - this maintenance thing is interesting. I feel like I've been eating so much more and yet, the scale stays the same, it's hard to wrap my head around. Thinking of still eating below maintenance every few days until I trust this weight.

01/20: 130.0 - still here. Ate below calories yesterday but did not work out at all, just did my elbow physical therapy. Heading to the gym this morning, can not wait.

01/21: 130.8 - ate well all weekend, looking forward to being able to exercise more often. I did do my elbow P/T at least once every day. I know it takes time but, ugh, I’m impatient.

01/22: 129.8 - I swam laps yesterday for about half an hour (with breaks) and wow, what a great workout. Bonus, my elbow was able to take it. Went to the gym this morning and had a fantastic legs/abs workout with 30 minutes elliptical. I would do that every day if I could but that's how I get injured. Another bonus, the first set of deadlifts were noticeably easier than they had been. Still haven't missed a day of P/T yet, not that I see any difference but I'll keep with it.

01/23: 129.4 - off to swim some laps. Did my elbow p/t last night, there might be some itsy bitsy signs of improvement...

01/24: 130.0 - got totally derailed by a migraine yesterday, spent the day in bed after swimming the laps in the morning. Today is a much better day. Went to the gym and had a great workout, added some leg presses and some weight to my hip thrusts.

01/25: 130.4 - right back where I started. Not sure I’ll be able to bring this down over the weekend, we have a big event tonight. Maybe Sunday will be a good day to reset.

1/20 DNW (travel)
1/21 206.2 -- Whew! My losses have been so slow compared to previous weight loss attempts I was wondering if my maintenance calories had fallen to a really low level. Nice to see this method (track, exercise, journal) will produce results
1/22 205.8 -- happy to see another loss! Need to be careful with calories today, though, as I’ve skipped my morning exercise due to a massive blister. ☹️
1/23 205.2 — whoohoo! It’s like my body finally said “oh, she’s serious about this, guess it’s time to finally get going”. 😁. I won’t expect a loss everyday, but nice to have momentum for these past 3!
1/24 205.0 — TOM and my body is dropping weight, I’m happy. Thought my body composition scale was really confused by my TOM, but actually it was just my account finally accepted I am a female and so it changed all the calculations. My body fat went up 10 percentage points!! But the ranges look more realistic now so I guess all is good.
1/25 204.6 — happy and surprised with another loss! After last round with up and down and slow going this one is very rewarding. Just need to remember it won’t stay this nice, steady down slope. The only guarantee is that life WILL interfere at some point. Just hopefully it will hold out long enough for me to lock in my habits first!
