Day/Weight/Comment

3/18 - 180.8
In a weird way I’m fine with holding steady within a pound of 180 for the past 5 weeks. I’m no longer gaining as I was, my metabolism is settling down, and I’m getting a good sense of what my maintenance calories really are. I haven’t been exercising much but as the weather warms up I’ll get back to walking long distances and I’m planning to expand one garden and plant a new herb garden (assuming the nurseries are open), so that will help. I also have some house painting (inside) left to do, so if I can keep my calories steady, I should start to lose again. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Now to shake this stupid cold! I hope you’re all finding ways to stay calm and healthy and in touch through these chaotic times.

3/19 - 181
How’s everyone doing? I’m trying to keep busy with my work (writing) and things I’ve put off for ages (sorting photos, going through clothes for what no longer pleases...). I’ve been trying to talk to one or two friends every day on the phone — social media are great, but we need to hear voices. I was going to teach a couple of writing classes this spring and summer, but they’re cancelled, of course, so I’m setting them up to teach online and hoping that will be productive for everyone involved. I’m looking forward to warmer weather so I can play in my garden. I’d love to hear what others are doing to stay healthy and as happy as possible during these difficult times.

3/20 - 180.6

3/21 - 180.2
All things considered, okay. I did get out for a walk yesterday morning — it was 64 degrees F and lovely. Then the wind came up and the temp dropped 25 degrees by noon! Whoa! And now it’s trying to snow. Harumph. Oddly, even though we’re stuck at home I’m not snacking, and we are eating healthily. I’m a bit stir crazy but having a sinus headache that makes me go to bed for a while has helped

— make lemonade, right? Last week I found a gorgeous Bassett entertainment center in a second hand store and it was delivered yesterday — see picture. We’re adding shelves inside — lots of storage space! I hope you’re all finding creative, loving ways to ride this out. Stay healthy!

3/22 - 179.8
Happy Sunday, everyone. If there’s an upside to our current situation, it’s time to do some of the things I’ve been putting off. Yesterday I cleaned out my “baking drawer” in the fridge — the spilled flour had been calling me for a while. Also went through everything, tossed a couple of things that were wayyyyy past their use-by dates, and wrote dates on the others in big fat numbers I can’t miss. It all looks so much tidier, cleaner, and more inviting! I hope you’re all finding things to do that make you happy.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/18 - 164.7 I'm really losing track of my goals. I haven't worked out in 9 days and I completely binged out on snacks yesterday. I'm definitely in a downward spiral. I usually track my weeks from Sunday through Saturday which means I'd keep on this path and start fresh on Sunday. That's too long. I am starting fresh today. I can do this. Please help hold me accountable!
03/19 - 164.9 Wrong direction. I did get a workout in and stayed relatively close to my calorie goal. Going to workout today and stay under my calorie goal!
03/20 - 164.9 Well I got a workout in however I went WAY over my calorie goal. On the bright side, I ate all the snacks in my house so I have no more temptations. As long as I break even this round I'll be happy.
03/21 - 164.0 Getting close to breaking even! My SO offered to go get me my fav snacks while practicing social distancing and renting and watching The Invisible Man at home. Guess what, I said no! I would not have been able to use portion control and it was past my eating period.
03/22 - 163.1 FINALLY back on track towards my goals!

3/19-160-It’s wonderful to have ALL of you here!☕️🌷

3/21-158-Well, it’s easier without having social eating events to go to. I’ll just keep on sewing and walking.
3/22-158-Walk and sew today.

I need some accountability. These last 10 lbs are brutal.
UGW 150 and a BMI of 20
Round 103- SW 160, EW 157 -3
Round 104- SW 157, EW 159 +2
Round 105- SW 159, EW 158 -1
Round 106- SW 158, EW 153.2 -4.8
Round 107- SW 154.8, EW 155.2 +.4

3/18- 154.8 back to where I was at the beginning of the last round. Hanging in there. Just need to keep the snacking in check working from home for the next month.
3/19- 154.4 Pleased. Rode yesterday, did HIIT. Enjoying the extra time with the kids even if work productivity is taking a hit and managing them is stressful. Finding a routine. Played evening games and are starting a big puzzle.
3/20- 155.4 Yeah, even though I had a good run yesterday I ate back all my exercise calories and I don't think I was really tracking carefully enough.
3/21-156 This working from home thing is going to kill my progress. It's too, too easy to snack and then I've been baking fun things since my daughter wants to and I admit I enjoy both the baking and eating part. Ugh. I have to find a way to stay on track...
3/22- 154.8 I should hope so. I rode/walked Frosty for more than 2 hours yesterday on the rail trail. I have to get hay today and I'll try to get a ride in too.

@cpanus Your doctor might be able to tell you. I asked my ortho (35 years ago when I joined WW) how much my hardware weighed and his reply was a few ounces. When I googled it a couple of years ago, it seems the two rods, brackets, and 6 screws and cable were about a pound-1.5. That would have been significant at WW.

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

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.

▪3/18 - 185.6 - OMAD - 31g carbs. My appetite disappeared again a few days ago, so OMAD is working well.
▪3/19 - 184.5 - OMAD - 51g carbs.

▪3/20 - Split meal/ 4:30, 7pm.
56g carbs. Ate part of my dinner at 4:30, a bit of worry over my sister driving hunger earlier in the day. I did weigh but forgot to record the number, then totally forgot the number😯 I was getting an incoming video call from my grandchildren. I'll weigh again later.
▪3/21 - DNW

▪3/22 - 187 - Increase from fluid, needed elimination, & not enough sleep. Split meal/3:30, 6:30. 46g carbs. Making another big pot of soup today. Cauliflower leek I think. My family loves to eat soup. Stayed up until 2 am binge watching Dark Crystal with my son. Interesting show.

3/18 255.6 The start of heading back down and hopefully to new lows this round.

3/19 254.4 That’s the previous low I hit anything lower will be a new low. I was looking through my phone at older photos and then I saw my newer ones, the difference is so profound. It really helped me to see how far I’ve come.

3/20 255.2 Early weigh in, Japanese take out, and a lack of sleep. On the plus side I got to the store early enough to get potatoes and chicken.

3/21 254.4 I’m glad to be back down I had a high sodium lunch, which sometimes gives me a bounce up. I also hit ovulation time according to my health app, so I’ll see if I hold or manage to drop. Sometimes if I’m really careful I can still see a drop or two, but usually I hold or bounce around.

3/22 254.0 New low, yay! It’s been a bit since I’ve been able to say that and I’m so glad that I didn’t give in to the want to eat yesterday.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/18: 177.6 (A nice 2 lb drop from yesterday! I did an at home Zumba class from what I remember during the at person one using Spotify. I made a delicious dinner and tried to release some stress. I’m still going to work since they haven’t shut down and I don’t see them doing it unless the governor does it for the whole state. We’ll see! Taking it day by day!)

03/19: 178.8 (I’m super sore from my workouts at home! This weight gain is only temporary since I’ve completely changed the way I workout. I did another YouTube workout and ate to plan.)

03/20: 177.6 (I didn’t work out yesterday like I was supposed to and ate out of plan by having 2 mini brownies. I’m so stressed out because my husband has been ordered to not work and thankfully I work for an essential business so half of our normal income will come through just fine. My husband has to file from unemployment today and we’ll see how much he gets. It’s gonna be a struggle, but I’m grateful that I’ll have enough money for essentials. I need another mental health day, so I will be staying at home like we’ve been ordered to (I usually have every other Friday off so my weekend has started) and organizing my bathroom. I’ll see if I get a workout in today even though I have another rest day I can use from now til Sunday. Best of luck everyone!)

03/21: 178.8 (My hubby and I ordered some takeout from a nearby Mexican restaurant and it definitely hit the spot! We’re taking full advantage of Postmates on the weekend. I didn’t do a workout yesterday but I got approved to work from home so I’ll be doing that next week. Only time we’re really gonna go outside is when we need to go to the grocery store. Hubby is going right now to see if there are eggs anywhere. We only have 3 left and there’s a shortage!)

03/22: 180.6 (I made some lasagna last night and that was so good! Did a YouTube workout as well and relaxed as much as possible!)

03/18 - 156.1 - Almost gave up on trying anymore yesterday, so much work and effort for such slow results. Re-motivated today.
03/19 - 155.4 - Slept in today, that likely helped with the scale.
03/20 - 156.5 - Ribs. I had better not have them again for 3 months.
03/21 - 157.2 - The rise continues. Not as motivated right now. My workouts have been on point, but not my eating.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/18 192.2 Happy to start with a loss! Am down and blue this morning—didn’t sleep well, my daughter was laid off with the rest of her company, so this at least is something nice to think about. Working hard to get exercise in and keep calories green. Can’t let the blues mess with progress...

3/19 192.2 Happy to stick with the lower weight and not bounce up. So far sticking to the program but struggling with feeling burned out by all the firefighting and emotional support I have to put out there.

3/20 192.2 Exact same weight again. Realistically I’m doing the exact same things—eating green, exercising—but I’m also out of routine with this working at home and have a higher level of anxiety as reflected in a rising average resting heart rate. So I’m ok with maintaining—my goal is to be compassionate with myself right now. Compassionate by being healthy, but not harsh.

3/21 DNW—away from scale

3/22 191.4 Yay, a loss! Was worried about the salty pot roast last night and not much vegetables. But had lots of fresh air and LOTS of sleep last night (finally got out of bed nearly 4 hours later than for a weekday weigh-in)

Round 108

Please join us! Starting on 03/18 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 108
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

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.

03/18 157.1 ~ {Steps 14,539} ~ Taking one day at a time, yesterday was extremely stressful but I didn’t go to food, yay! It turns out my daughter is working from home this week. This helps since I can be home with my husband this week.
03/19 157.1 ~ {Steps 8,810} ~ Today hopefully things will workout for my daughter to stop out by for lunch. Focus, focus focus! Edit: I didn’t do tooo bad, my hubby wanted Burger King. We will see how it effects my weight.
03/20 157.2 ~ {Steps 13,126} ~ I was able get a couple nice walks in even with all the craziness. I didn’t make the best food choices hence the spike in my weight but it’s okay, I’ll take a pound.
03/21 158.1 ~ {Steps 14,643} ~ I had to run to the store for a few things since I’ll away at my daughters tomorrow hopefully only Thursday. Today though is the last day my husband is working till this gets better. Unfortunately we think it’s better for him not to visit our grandkids too. Let’s all stick together so this can be over, stay safe!
03/22 157.7 ~ {Steps TBD} ~ The next few days will definitely be a challenge since I’ll be at my daughters till Thursday or Friday.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/18 - 361.8 - Good news. My interview on Monday went well. Better news. I have applied for several positions with state (PA) and federal gov't. One position with the state just got back to me and said I scored a 100 on their test. Now I'm just a bit excited. Getting a job with either means I can use my time in the Air Force towards retirement. I'll have to work until I'm 72, but hey... it does take a huge weight off my shoulders. Bittersweet news... My mom has lived with me for the past 20+ years. We recently found out she has early stage dementia. But the state is saying she now qualifies for in-home health care. Which means that while I am at work, someone will be here most of that time. This would be another huge weight off my shoulders. I had to reset my scale and it jumped up. Not happy, but let's see how it goes for the next few day.
03/19 - 360.9 - At a time where the coronavirus is virtually collapsing our economy, I got offered a job yesterday. I just have to pass the background check. As long as my previous employers are honest, I'll be fine. I guess the stress was slowing my weightloss, since I'm down almost a pound. The real barometer is if it continues. Time will tell. Also got my payout from my 6-month DietBet. I put in $175 and got out $176.30. Yup, a whopping $1.30 of winnings. Needless to say, I won't be doing that again. And that's a cautionary tale for anyone interested/considering participating.
03/20 - 359.4 - And downward we go. Back under 360 and I hope it stays that way.
03/21 - 359.3 - Slowly we continue. As long as I'm level or dropping, I'm ok.
03/22 - 359.1 - Starting to exercise from home. I liked going to the gym because if I drove there, I seemed to be more invested. I know I have to exercise, even if I sometimes fight myself. Downward we go!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/17 …..200.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
03/18 …..200.4….. Michigan has gone crazy. In 48 hours we have went from 2 cases to 110. 25 of those cases in the last 2 hours. I’ve cancelled all my non-essential dr appointments as requested by our governor. Business in my motel & cabins is down to zero as it’s not recommended for folks to travel. This morning we had our first Coronavirus death in Michigan-a male in his 50’s. They’ve closed the borders between Michigan and Canada as a joint effort between countries and that includes our Detroit entrance. If I put on the 24 hour news stations (CNN or FoxNews) it just about scares me to death. So I am going to try to check in and stay informed but use my time for some much needed projects that I should get done while I have the time. So far, no cases within 100 miles of me. That is how far our closest hospital basically is. I plan on going out only when I have to at this point. I am a high-risk individual-turning 60, diabetic and in remission with cancer. Better safe than sorry. For myself, but for all others as well. On the diet front, at this point I am just watching my quantities and putting more thought into the best course. Stay safe everyone!

03/19 …..200.8 ….. My grandson (age 3) is being taken to the nearest hospital (pretty far) to be looked at today. He is really sick with high fever, dry cough etc. They have a triage set up outside the hospital. You call inside when you get there and they test temp at your vehicle and see if anything warrants a test since the kits are scarce. Hopefully it is just normal seasonal sickness as we are still in the full throws of winter here (it snowed yesterday). On the diet front I am struggling and feel very scattered about what to eat. I am working on it. I am trying hard to increase movement inside this tiny cabin (my living room will not even fit a 5x7 rug between the couch on one side and the chair on another). Also, my motel office is at my entry and there is usually constant interruption (things, however, are going a bit slow now except for those already here). I usually have to leave to get privacy or 20 minutes straight. I’m going to look up the Leslie Sansone walking programs today and see if I can get the wi-fi to get to my living room. It is horrible here in my area. Keeping fingers crossed as walking is what works best for me & my health! If nothing else, I will dance. Not much in the line of radio stations here, but I have Alexa and I turn her up to reach my livingroom and pray no one comes to the door. LOL Stay safe everyone!

03/20 …..201.3 ….. I’m losing the game here by dropping the ball. Gotta start putting more thought into this again instead of news channels, texts and phone calls in regards to the virus which is taking up every spare minute of my time. I’ve already blown today but I can still make changes starting TONIGHT, NOT TOMORROW. In Michigan news, more deaths and more cases being reported. My local area still very short on supplies including bread, eggs, flour and many shelf staple goods but considering we only have one grocery store and we are no where near a freeway (for easy truck access) it is actually not too bad. Traveling to the big box stores like Walmart, I am hearing, is still a waste of time, people still hoarding. I am not in the habit of using much bread for myself, mainly my son. However, I still have some stock of all-purpose and self-rising flour left here from before if I need it. I got a double waffle maker to try chaffles for Christmas and I haven't used it yet. I can't get shredded cheese but I can shred my own if I can find it in block. I may try that in the next few days. I have been excited to see what chaffles taste like and how they will affect my overall plan. I have heard they are a game changer.

03/21 …..202.1 ….. Yesterday afternoon’s transgressions showed up on the scale this morning. Last night was much better. I may try some protein shakes. I am hoping I can get unsweetened almond milk to keep the calories and carbs down. I am hoping my SIL can pick me some up from the local grocery store and put it in the front seat of my car. I am trying to lay low. My son & I are feeling great and want to keep it that way. Last night I prep cooked some keto friendly meatloaf. Oh so good! I am freezing part of it. Today I will be making a spaghetti squash lasagna to freeze. I will also be making and freezing egg roll in a bowl as I have all the ingredients I need for it. If I can cut two meals with the protein shakes, eat my frozen keto meals and stick to my approved snacks then maybe I can turn this train around. I hope you are all doing well. I am saying my prayers and thinking of you all and your families. hugs

03/22 …..202.0 ….. Prep cooked yesterday so dinners are under control for the most part. Low supplies are making the sides difficult. Now, I just have to watch any other meals and snacks. I am hoping that today will be even better than yesterday. On the home front, today I have to get out there and clean 5 cabins and I am a nervous wreck about the possible germs. Of course, I will take every precaution but still……..I have found that neighbors and townsfolk are starting to call and ask if I have gloves, bleach, Lysol, toilet paper etc. that they can buy off me or that I can share with their family. They expect I will have those products in a motel situation, honestly, people are thinking of anything they can to keep themselves safe. I wish I could share with everyone but my suppliers have dried up so I have to be cautious. I am trying to help/share with my adult kids / family and closest friends. However, if I run out of supplies I have to close my business. And, I have to remain diligent in protecting the public when they come to my place of business. Business and revenue has slowed for sure, but is still going on. What a sad state our world is in right now. I know other countries and other US states are faring much worse than northern Michigan. Prayers to you all. Our best defense is staying as healthy as we can. Today I will try to find the time for some additional indoor movement.

Round 108 - March 18 to 28
Female, 5’, 67 years. SW – 163.8, GW – 164 something, UGW – 140.
Goals: continue with 12 hr. IF, see if I can complete my tracking every day and get focussed exercise most days – either gym exercises I can do at home, other (like fitness video). Don’t expect to go to the gym for 2 months and then my membership will be almost finished. We do have a treadmill that my husband uses so I guess I could get used to using that.
Day/Weight/Comment
03/18 – 163.8 – sick with the regular flu
03/19 – 161.8 – Threw up and then hardly ate yesterday, so it is a false low – but still lovely to see that #. Feeling much better today.
03/20 – 164.2 – Back to normal.
03/21 – 165 – Feeling pretty much recovered and it looks like my weight has too, lol. I did give in to snacking on graham crackers late last night, so if I stick with IF today maybe it will drop to 164’s. Have been getting more phone calls, texts than usual from extended family all checking up on each other. That with the online news has really put a dint in my organization and days. Today making a list and getting some fresh air and exercise time. Weather here is very early spring – rhubarb just emerging. I’m toying with the idea of starting some plants inside for later transplanting. I haven’t done that in years but still have the light setup and it’s so much fun to see all the stuff germinate plus no idea if greenhouses will be open.
03/22 – 164.2 – Don’t feel like I deserve this as I snacked on cashews last night. Oh well, a better day today. Another beautiful day and typical for us this time of year – under the trees on the sunny side of the yard things are turning green and the rest has 2+ feet of snow. Good thing I see the sunny side from the diningroom.

STATS:
Age: 28
Height: 168cm
Round: 108 (first time participating)

SW: 111kg
CW: 93.6kg
RGW: 92kg
UGW: 75kg

DAY / WEIGHT / COMMENT

03.18 / 93.6kg / We're on lockdown, advised to stay at home, social businesses are closed, social gatherings are discouraged, so we get no visitors, mostly because me and my kids are all sick (regular seasonal flu). Older one is 3 and a half, younger is a year and two months old, and staying at home all day alone with a huge list of treatments for all three of us has been stressful, trying to be on top of everything for them has left me slide back into emotional eating. We don't keep junk food at home so at least it's nothing like that, but it's noon and I've already shot my calories for the day, and I'm afraid if I slip back into this without hitting the breaks somehow I'll lose the progress from the past month. So I'm happy to have found the challenge and I think having to add those comments will help as well to process things.

03.19 / 95.2kg (+1.6)/ A bit after midnight but still not in bed so it's still today for me 😅 I expected the weight to be up after yesterday but not as much, that kind of shocked me. I just have to keep reminding myself it will go down again in a couple of days so I don't fall into self-hatred. I always fluctuate by a lot, and I have always thought before I started weighing in daily those would probably be around a kilo top, but it's often two or three and it's shocking every time. Having a separate app that shows me a trend helps with reminding myself this is not real weight put on, it's just the result of a bad bad day. I use Libra to add those since it feels crappy to add them here even though mfp prompts for daily weigh-ins. I hate seeing an update on my feed that every few days I lose the same 0.5 kilos, so I just add when I've lost from my previous lowest. My calories for the day ended at being 1804, and with my tdee being around 2020-2300 I'm still happy with that. I usually aim for less but it's an improvement over yesterday and still keeps me on track. I've been able to be very strict until noon this time, had lunch and all that but I made something sweet for the kids and ended up getting way too much of that for myself as well. Without it it would have been a perfect day. Need to start preparing myself something to snack before I start making those cause otherwise I think I'll always be caving in, and I don't want to deprive them of having it at home just because their mom can't control herself. It's weird how easy it is to know how much they can have and follow it strictly cause I don't want them to be hurt by it as I am, and at the same time not be able to apply it when it comes to myself. I'm working late again and didn't snack after dinner however so I'm happy with that.

03.20 / 94.3kg (-0.9) I fell asleep with the kids

It was overall a good day, again around 1800 since I went to see how my mom is and she had sweets. This time it wasn't an accident though, I checked the labels, made sure I eat exactly as much as I should based on that. Seeing the scale turning back around that quickly in the morning defintely calmed my nerves.

03.21 / 93.7kg (-0.6) Yaay, back where I started! Feels a bit like I've wasted a couple of days from the challenge, but that 92 goal is starting to seem achievable again. Oats for breakfast, small lunch, few snacks, and a small dinner. Drank some calories which I shouldn't have, but I kicked chores in the butt, have been up almost the entire day cleaning something. Ended up the day at 1474, which is right up where I want it to be. Keeping myself occupied has helped a lot, plus I sort of skipped dinner today since we had electricity issues and couldn't cook anything and there was enough left from the last meal just for the kids, so I had a bite of cheese, had my vitamin C drink thing, and left it at that. The funny part is I'm not even hungry and I'm not sure if my stomach is finally getting used to needing less or my brain being hyped about keeping up with the challenge. Either way I'll take it.

03.22 / 93.3kg (-0.4) Finally a loss since the start of the challenge! I have no idea how many calories I've had today, we celebrated the fact our baby started walking with a ritual bread, and that's home made and it's way too tedious to track it since not all brands I use exist in the database. But I again skipped dinner, haven't snacked, that thing has been really filling. Just had a glass of juice in the evening. Will see how things go with the scale in the morning, but I feel satisfied and zero hunger is around, so I call that a sort-of-a-win. It kind of sucked to celebrate something like that locked at home though, it's going to suck even more for Easter, so I'll be keeping my hands occupied with preparing stuff for then so at least the kids feel like it's fun.

56 year young, female, 5' 7"ft

OSW 160.0 lbs
RSW 139.0 lbs
RGW 138 lbs (Slow down the loss and learn how to maintain with running)
UGW 137.0 lbs (I want to gain muscle/going by jeans fit/ so this is just a #)

Past Rounds:

R101 1/17/20 EW: 148.2
R102: 1/27/20 EW: 149.0
R103: 2/06/20 EW: 147.0

R106: 3/7/20 EW: 142.2
R107: 3/17/20 EW: 138.8

Day/Weight/Comment

3/18: 139.0 (+.2) – This next several months will be challenging as we are all having to change our daily realities, activities, eating, etc. The more we can talk about it the better. I went to my small gym today (at a private club so its still open but they are limiting it to 10 people at a time. Thankfully I was by myself, and rode the bike for an hour and rowed for 10 min. I miss running and walking as I need fresh air. But I am determined to heal the hip and keep on keeping on. Everyone hang in there.😘

3/19: 139.0 (0) Nothing new. Just trying to stay put and work, entertain myself, eat healthy, etc. I went to the nursery yesterday, waiting to get in as they kept it to 10 people and strolled around in fresh air and bought a few plants to repot my pots. That will be nice…to be outdoors. Take care❤🌻🌞

3/20: 140.2 (+1.2) Ate like crap at dinner. Drank wine. Stressed and sad. Overwhelmed with all of this BS right now. Will try to do better. Sorry to be such a Debbie Downer😥

3/20: 139.8 (-.4) Went to the gym yesterday before it shut down. Was alone until I wasn’t so that was weird. Not any more. Peloton arrived today for a trial. Will give it a whirl later.😎

3/21: 140.4 (+.6) Peloton is here….fun so far. Eating comfort food while comforting is not the best for weight watching. Found out this morning that my 24 year old son in NYC is showing symptoms of a virus – assuming Covid 19 but he will not go to doctor because they said per the website not to bother unless you were in bad shape. No testing available either. He will just have to deal….sent him some stuff yesterday so hopefully he stays mild and can rest and stay in for a week and be over it.😑

GrandmaJackie · March 2020

@bearly, sending good vibes to your son!

TwistedSassette · March 2020

@penguinstuff congrats on your little one starting to walk - you must be one proud mama! How old is your bub? My little just recently started walking too, he's 15 months old so a bit of a late bloomer (which I put down to his size, he's already half my height and weighs almost 14kg!). I love that you have a traditional celebration for this milestone, it's not something I've heard of before.

FOCUS FOR THIS ROUND
Settling in my morning routine to include some exercise.

GOALS THIS ROUND
- RGW 132.0kg
- Morning exercise 7/10 days
R108 SW 132.6kg

Day | Weight | Change | Comment

03/18 | 132.6kg | No change | Busy day at work and had visitors all evening/night. My mum came in to town ready to babysit my son today, so I picked my sister up on my way home from work and brought her to my place as well so we could all catch up. Later, my dad also decided to come into town but he didn't arrive until about 9:30pm. So it was a late dinner and a few beers, I was expecting a rise on the scale. On the bright side, I didn't snack after work and I didn't have dessert. Got all my water in, but no exercise. Hubby out of town for a day trip today, will see how shopping goes - we normally do an online order that he can just pick up, but they have cancelled that service at the moment so that is frustrating. Stay safe, everyone!

03/19 | 132.7kg | +0.1kg | Made homemade pizzas on wrap bases last night, they were delicious and much lighter than the normal dough bases I make, but I think my sodium was very high as a result (perhaps I should choose a more healthy topping than pepperoni...). Only drank 2L of water too so that also wouldn't help. No exercise as I'm still trying to shake this cold off. Our supermarket shelves were bare when I went yesterday afternoon - no TP, soaps, potatoes, bread, pasta, rice, tissues, canned vegetables, flour, ready-to-make packet meals, cheese, milk...nothing. This was Wednesday afternoon. Our store gets one delivery a week, on Tuesdays. So I don't expect to find anything on the shelves for the next week, which is ridiculous. What's happening, as the cities stock out, people are coming further and further out into the rural areas to wipe our shelves clean too. Their stores get deliveries daily, but they can't wait that long. I don't know what I'm going to feed my one year old toddler by the end of the week, unless they happen to get another delivery in (which they have to pay the freight for, so they won't do that as they don't make enough profit to cover it). I really don't understand how people can be so selfish. It's not a production issue, there is plenty of product available, it's just distribution is the issue - they can't keep the deliveries up to the stores because the demand is increasing exponentially! People are literally panicking over nothing. They're panicking because the media is telling them to. I wish the media would just stop covering all of this and just report the statistics and whereabouts of the virus, nothing more. It's so stupid, people being worried that something is going to stock out, so they buy as much as they can, causing it to stock out. If everyone just stuck to their normal buying, it wouldn't even be an issue but no, people are selfish and greedy.
Sorry for the rant, I'm just extremely frustrated with people.

03/20 | 133.1kg | +0.4kg | Wrong direction! It's just water weight, obviously, but I'm not sure what's caused it. Maybe sodium. I didn't drink enough water the last couple of days too. Feeling anxious and sad, and that leads to poor decisions for me usually. Hubby bought a lasagne for dinner last night, normally we would split it and eat half each, but I did split my share in half and ate it with a salad (bringing the leftovers for my lunch today with a salad). So that's another small win in the 'smaller portions' dinner plan.

03/21 | 133.3kg | +0.2kg

03/22 | 133.5kg | +0.2kg

03/23 | 133.5kg | No change | Sorry, I have been a bit AWOL this weekend. I just didn't get online to MFP at all, but I did keep weighing in. Weight still rising, which I know is from poor choices and overeating and anxiety and lack of sleep and no exercise whatsoever. I've gone off the rails with everything happening. I'm in Australia, and our state is just starting to close "non-essential" services as of today (so pubs, restaurants, clubs etc. - basically anywhere that people gather together because people have been ignoring the "social distancing" recommendations and have been packing into clubs and onto beaches). I'm not sure what this means for my work situation as I should be able to work from home, but it's all up in the air at the moment!

I keep editing this to try to be clear that this is NOT medically or scientifically confirmed but I thought it was something good to know until more information is known about people carrying without symptoms.

Interesting if it ends up the case and could give one indication that you MAY have COVID-19 if no symptoms (and issues with tests in U.S.) and can self-isolate.

**Stressing this is "ANECDOTAL" at this time,** but it didn't stop me from going to the kitchen and making sure I could smell and taste something

From NYT
The American Academy of Otolaryngology posted information on its website saying that mounting anecdotal evidence indicates that lost or reduced sense of smell and loss of taste are significant symptoms associated with Covid-19. Doctor groups are recommending testing and isolation for people who lose their ability to smell and taste, even if they have no other symptoms.

American Academy of Otolaryngology Website - March 22, 2020 (2:19PM)
Anecdotal evidence is rapidly accumulating from sites around the world that anosmia and dysgeusia are significant symptoms associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Anosmia, in particular, has been seen in patients ultimately testing positive for the coronavirus with no other symptoms. We propose that these symptoms be added to the list of screening tools for possible COVID-19 infection. Anosmia, hyposmia, and dysgeusia in the absence of other respiratory disease such as allergic rhinitis, acute rhinosinusitis, or chronic rhinosinusitis should alert physicians to the possibility of COVID-19 infection and warrant serious consideration for self-isolation and testing of these individuals.

JGMTD Round 108 (30 for me)
Sorry for disappearing last round. There were so many changes to adjust to, and I never seemed to be able to get a post together. I went from being busy packing for a trip to see my son to being even busier cancelling travel arrangements, gearing up for teaching all of my courses online, picking up a few supplies, checking in with family, and keeping up with daily developments. More recently, I’ve been self-isolating (except for solitary walks outdoors), teaching online, and figuring this new reality one day at a time.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/18 – 165.8 – Starting this round in a good place. Although I didn’t post last round, I managed weigh in and meet my calorie and exercise goals most days. Today was a pretty good day, despite the grim news reports and increasing restrictions. My online class went pretty well and I met my goals. I’m finding stability in the habits I’ve developed and serenity in my outdoor walks.
03/19 – 164.6 – After a rainy start to the day, the weather cleared and I got out for a walk again, tackling a more rugged trail to get my heart rate up. I’m glad the parks are still open, although I don’t know how long that will last. Got a few chores done, but much of the day was spent addressing online teaching issues and providing long-distance support for stressed family members. My sleep schedule is totally shot, but I’ve been pushing myself to fix simple, reasonably healthy meals and to stay hydrated. Glad to have the structure of these challenges to help me stay grounded.
03/20 – 164.6 – Unseasonably warm, but such a delight to get out in short sleeves and enjoy the weather. I skipped most of the chores and took the dog for a long walk in the park. Did well on calories but a little under on hydration.
03/21 – 163.4 – Slept in and slightly dehydrated, so I think this number is misleading. Managed a short, chilly walk in the park with my husband and just squeaked in under my calorie limit. Didn’t get much work done today. I had a nice, long phone conversation with my son and saw my daughter briefly, although at a 6+ foot distance, since I’m the support person for my mom. Things are ramping up very fast in NJ. Today we got our “stay at home” order, with most non-essential businesses closed and all gatherings banned. Fortunately, the parks are still open.
03/22 – 163.6 – Got a few chores done this morning and went out for a walk to de-stress. We had a video chat with all the grandchildren and their parents in the afternoon. It was wild, but it was definitely what we all needed. Had a quiet dinner and some wine with my husband – a bit over on calories, but worth it. So all goals met and on to tomorrow.
