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😥

3/21: 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.😎

3/22: 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.😑

3/23: 139.2 (-1.2) Ate a pretty unhealthy lunch but a really healthy vegetarian dinner. Drank some wine. No idea why I am up and down a lot other than stress. Life is unreal these days so not going to attempt to be able to understand it. It’s going to be a long week. 😒

3/24:138.0 (-1.2) No idea….did eat under and did a very short ride. I think the veggies helped my system reset. Need to do that more! Was able to find a thermometer and fed ex to my son. I hope he is ok. 😯

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.

3/23 191.4 Kept the loss, happy with that. Started omega oil pills last night—nauseous this morning and didn’t get in my run. Wondering if it’s related.

3/24 191.4 was hoping for a little more off, but ‘twas not to be...at least no gain. I developed a sore shin yesterday, may have to stick to the exercise bike for a little while to rest it. Never feel like I work out as hard on the bike...I should look up some videos to keep it interesting.

Day/Weight/Comment

3/18: 272.0 lbs (-2.1) … my uptick weight continues to fall off. Got in a nice run this afternoon, running for 28 minutes at a 12:00/mi pace. Felt good to get back to that after all the stress and uncertainty lately. Didn’t quite get enough steps in to hit my daily 10k goal by the evening so I went on an almost 3 mile walk at 10pm with my headlamp on. Hopefully I didn’t weird out my neighbors, but it was nice to get some fresh air and exercise. | Running: C25k Week 8 Day 1 | 15,806 steps |

3/19: 269.2 lbs (-2.8) … big drop today, which I found surprising given that I didn’t eat super clean yesterday. This marks the first new low in about a week or so and now I’ve finally fully recovered from my recent uptick. It’s a little dreary today but my wife and I are still going to go for our lunch walk anyway. It’s good to get out of the house -- we’re feeling pretty cooped up being home all the time. | 10,741 steps |

3/20: 271.8 lbs (+2.6) … up a bit today. Not surprised to be honest, yesterday was a big, unexpected drop. Might have just been a little dehydrated or something. | Running: C25k Week 8 Day 2 | 10,441 steps |

3/21: 270.6 lbs (-1.2) … down again, a bit more reasonable of a dip this time. Had a very tiring day, went for a bike ride and then spent about 4 hours doing yardwork. | Bicycling: 5.5 miles | Raking 3 hours, Misc Yardwork 2 hours | 14,805 steps |

3/22: 271.3 lbs (+0.7) … I was really tired today and took it pretty easy. Engaged in a bit of stress eating in the evening, landing somewhere around maintenance calories. | Rest Day | 4,314 steps |

3/23: 271.4 lbs (+0.1) … My second week of working from home starts today. Getting back to my daily walks and keeping myself at 10,000+ steps per day after a break yesterday. Went for a nice walk over lunch and then spent about 2 hours shoveling snow and playing with my daughter out there, helping her build a snow fort despite only getting around 6 inches of accumulation. I wound up shoveling parts of the yard to concentrate snow in the area she was playing

| Snow Shoveling: 1.5-2 hours | 13,064 steps |

3/24: 269.9 lbs (-1.5) … Down a bit more today. Yesterday started a week-long step challenge at work and I got trounced on the first day with one of my coworkers pulling out 18,000ish steps. Going to need to ramp that up if I want a chance at winning. Went for a long walk this morning before work. Planning to go back out at lunchtime. | Walking: lots | 8,471 steps as of 10:30am |

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!
03/23 - 358.0 - I think I'm solidly under 360 now. And a little roadmark... I'm now down over 20% of the total weight I want to drop. And I'm a little ahead since I've now reached my goal for this round.
03/24 - 358.4 - A small tick back. Not a problem, since the downward trend still holds.

@Kuhl50 I haven’t found a fish oil capsule that doesn’t make me sick to my stomach. Even the enteric coated ones! Within minutes I am burping fish oil!

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
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 12,066} ~ The next few days will definitely be a challenge since I’ll be at my daughters till Thursday or Friday.
03/23 157 ~ {Step 8,794} ~ I’m starting the morning with a elliptical workout before my grandkids wake up. As I’m writing this my grandson is coming down the stairs, lol. My main focus is healthy food choices. Let’s stay safe!
03/24 158 ~ {Step TBD} ~ Late dinner last night, ugh. I have no control over dinner time unfortunately!

@merph518 Years ago I was told by a physical therapist that I don’t swing my arms normally when I walk. I assume it’s because of my back surgeries. Consequently, I wear my step tracker on my ankle. I do get some odd looks from people but that’s their problem. It DOES count my steps!

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.

03/24 120.0 This lockdown is tough. My husband swears it’s been 2 weeks instead of the one it actually has been. I have caved to the desire of that hot end slice of homemade bread and the loaf is almost ready to come out of the oven. It rose for too long and started to fall.😢

OSW 382.0
RSW 256.4

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.

3/23 253.4 Yay for the continuing downward trend. I wanted to eat to eat again yesterday and I finally had a couple of spoonfuls of ice cream and a small amount of chocolate milk. I didn’t binge though and thankfully it helped a lot. I’m really proud of myself for sticking to just a couple of bites nd not letting it spiral out of control.

3/24 252.4 I don’t know what brought about this big drop, but I hope the downward trend continues and I don’t bounce back up some.

@quiltingjaine, Your bread looks good to me! Nicely browned and crusty. Yum. I have my butter ready😀

I'll be making choc chips muffins today for my littles. They're excited. My granddaughter video called me this morning to read a book to me.😄

I needed chocolate chips so went a hunting for them. Found at Safeway. Mmmm, Safeway put a pattern on the floor for customers to keep a 6ft distance. 😟 I didn't notice it. I saw a sign on the door as I was leaving. Cheapest gas seen today, Crown, Ingleside $1.75 regular keeps dropping. Sounds great, but not. That's my daily run news.

186.6 today. Eat one biscuit, okay. Eat 2 biscuits, NOT.

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.
03/23 – 163.8 – Nice to see this and hope I can keep going down. Tracked all and IF - 12 hrs. Feeling pretty good though still some coughing and sneezing – ack, was hoping to do a quick final run to the groc. store but I guess not today.
03/24 – 163.4 – Tracked and IF. Hung sheets on the line and did a little bit outside. Love the fresh air but have to make myself get out there. I’m 2/3 done, and can hardly wait to finish, a bigger cross-stitch project and it’s really helping with the snacking because I have to keep my hands very clean. So much better than surfing the news in the evening.

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.

03.23 / Did not track
03.24 / Did not track. Had a big health scare, have been around hospitals both days, ate whatever I could on the go, went into emotional eating again out of fear. Picking myself back up again, this doesn't solve the issue.

I' m in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!

69 years old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...

...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.

We used to walk 5 miles a day. A pinched nerve and back surgery side-lined me for about a year. Then I had back surgery. Then I had hip surgery March 10th. Recovery is slow. Sure do want to be back walking!

The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

Heaviest: 192.2
Round GW: 144.0
UGW: 132.2

03/16 - DNW ...must get the scale into the other bathroom.
03/17 - 146.4 at 10:00 a.m. I wonder how much the hip implant weighs???

Day/Weight/Comment

03/18 - 144.0 at 11:00 a.m.
03/19 - DNW ...so hard to remember when my schedule is so changed. Tried moving the scale but that didn't work.
03/20 - DNW
03/21 - 144.0 at 9:00 a.m.
03/22 - DNW
03/23 - 144.6 at 9:00 a.m. ...moved the scale to a new location...should work just fine.
03/24 - 146.2 at 5:00 a.m. ...DH went grocery shopping during senior hours this morning. He said everyone was polite and in no hurry. No toilet paper but paper towels were on the shelves. They were just stocking the meat dept when he got there. Interesting morning. I didn't go with him...still using the walker and it's too hard to get up in the Santa Fe without a ladder.
