🙂 I'm glad to be back for another round. Posting daily helps me stay accountable. I've missed a few rounds but I'm working my way back.
I ended Round108 at 166.6lbs
This time around I'll
- get down to165lbs or less and
- complete 1 full hr of exercise each day
It will happen as long as I stay on plan. I have everything I need on hand so No Excuses!

04/03 Too Crazy to Care!
I'm holding myself accountable for having done nothing I promised myself this round. Worse, this applies to every area of my life and not just health and wellness mini goals.
I feel Blessed that my immediate family has not been infected. However, my home town is at the epicenter of this thing and we all live within a short drive off where we grew up. Furthermore, I'm stuck 1000 miles away because I needed to attend to matters out of town. Normally I enjoy solitude and my own company but with this global pandemic I'm losing my isht!
Tomorrow I'll weigh in and attempt to post something both relevant and coherent. Thanks for allowing me to rant.
Stay Safe
Stay Healthy
Stay HOME!

Before you tap HUG - consider this: I am eating really well at the moment, I am working out more than ever, I am looking more toned that last week and my clothes are looser. So before you tap HUG consider this - I am more than just a number on a scale. Please re-consider and hit LIKE instead.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/28 192.0 grr I’m tired of seeing this number. I mean I was WAY under on calories, they were almost all high quality calories, plus I had the best run in years. I’m still hoping this is hormonal and will release all at once in a few days.
03/29 191.8 all I can think is my body is getting too efficient. Doing the same things most days, under for calories, but zero weight lost in the last 7 days. I keep saying I need to mix it up but now I have to commit to that with some planning
03/30 191.2 finally some trend down. Overall not huge movement, but better than I’ve been doing. Cross fingers this keeps going.
03/31 191.6
04/01 191.4 too busy yesterday to post, but I did weigh. 10 days later, same number. I would really hate to think these are my maintenance calories, but it’s hard to chock this up to hormones any longer. If it’s a factor of staying indoors to work—how do work from home folks cope? I’m actually not overeating, I’m always green on calories. I weigh and measure. I’m still getting out for daily exercise, I just don’t get the same daily movement of getting from meeting room to meeting room. (I commute to my kitchen...and it’s much closer to my desk than the break room or bathrooms at work are!) I’m going to give it a few days longer then move up to maintenance calories just in case it’s a factor of eating too little (doesn’t feel like it, but who know).
04/02 191.8 I’m just not believing these numbers. I really am not cheating myself in any way. And I’m getting in good movement. And realistically my stress doesn’t feel all that much worse than bad days at work usually do. I’m sure it’s in the background but it’s not driving me crazy or anything. This weekend I have to figure out something different to jolt out of this weight!
04/03 191.4 ok, I’m done with this. Switching up to maintenance calories this weekend. If I’m not going to lose (been this weight since March 22, almost 2 weeks without moving down) then I might as well try to actively maintain.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 109 (round 41 for me ) I'm in for another round – just keep plodding on! As always; thank you again GrandmaJackie.
Female age 61 5' 4”
Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
Goal – end lower than started - aim to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges! Keep calm, washing hands, be kind and follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus.End of round 69 134.2 lbsKeep calm – we're all in this together!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/28 133.6 – 9 miles walked yesterday in my allowed daily exercise yesterday. 540 calories in credit, all macros in green. Managed to get all my supplies at the supermarket yesterday, only had to queue for 15 minutes to gain access, no hardship at all in the great scheme of things. Keep washing our hands !!
03/29 134.4 – 8 miles walked yesterday – 39 calories & 75 carbs over respectively. Had a lovely video conference call with DD, DS and little DGC, I miss them so much, but know needs must to keep us all safe.
03/30 133.2 – 7.41 miles walked yesterday, 397 calories in credit, all other macros in green, more protein and less carbs, I'm going to try to stick with that trend. Call out to our heroes, the NHS and those both in the food chain and benefit system, 4 of my siblings are involved in each of those areas, each are experiencing “difficulties” in their jobs at the moment not helped by the public at large who are giving them lots of verbal abuse which they don't need, they are experiencing so much stress already without that. Please be kind particularly to our key workers at this very difficult time.
03/31 133.2 – 9.87 miles walked yesterday, 666 calories in credit & all macros in green. Stay safe everyone.
04/01 134 – my fault – succumbed to chocolate last night although I did stay within calories. 10.3 miles walked yesterday, 240 calories in credit, 14 carbs over.
04/02 133 – 11.49 miles walked yesterday, a good day; 655 calories in credit, all macros in green.
04/03 133 – 9.15 miles walked yesterday, 392 calories in credit, 5 carbs over.
04/04 133 – 8.66 miles walked yesterday, 288 calories in credit, all macros in green.

?�ﾟﾏﾼ?ﾏﾼ?�ﾟﾏﾼ This is NOT A DIET - It’s a PERMANENT LIFESTYLE. ?�ﾟﾏﾼ?�ﾟﾏﾼ7 -
@MSWDiet & everyone else in these awful challenging times, yes move on to maintenance, but please don't let that slide in to gradually throwing in the towel; if you do in the future when all these worrying times are over you will regret letting all the hard work be in vain and being back to where you originally started or worse. We've all been there!!! I know I definately have in the past - time and time again. We are all in this together, we are a huge support for each other and none of us judge each other, we all want to do this for ourselves for what ever reason, from health through to vanity. All I'm saying is when this nightmare time is over don't have regret - I know that I've definately been guilty of this so many times in the past and could have kicked myself or worse!
I find that even in maintenance I still need to weigh and log daily, I think I'm being modest in food choices, but quite often I'm kidding myself and I need to keep myself accountable
So, please, stick with us, keep logging in with us, it might help to keep us all sane, and sound off if you wish, it's good to get it off your chest and a problem shared is a problem halved.
More importantly;
STAY SAFE, KEEP WASHING YOUR HANDS AND STAY HOME APART FROM THE ALLOWED REASONS. We're all in this together

03/28 - 142.5 - Three members of our extended family have been hit with the virus. They were actually at our house visiting 3 weeks ago. They are healthy 30 somethings and their 5 year old, the 2 year old seems OK so far. They've barely been able to get out of bed. They were tested because he's a firefighter. Please be careful.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/28 160.0 lbs 1200 calories, 12,000 steps IF16 hours, it looks like for me to get under 160 I am going to have to get under a 1000 calories, not going to happen this weekend but will try a couple days next week and then hold hopefully. I can't do that long term.
03/29. 159.4 lbs. 1300 calories, 9500 steps, IF 16 hours. ummm I was not horrible yesterday but I enjoyed the 50,s we were having with a ice cream bar and drink outside because April fools day we are back in the 30’s. Surprised at this number.
03/30 160.0 lbs 1500 calories, 9500 steps, If 16 hours. LOL I new that was to good to stay but at least I know my scale goes that low. New week and I will try to get a couple days under 1000 calories to get and stay under 160's.
03/31 160.2 lbs 950 calories, 25,000 steps, IF 16 hours. Apparently I am paying for the weekend still.
04/01 159.0 lbs 1100 calories, 25,000 steps, IF 16 hours. YaY, I have been spring cleaning and getting ready for Graduation in June.
04/02 159.0 lbs 1100 calories, 11,000 steps, IF 16 hours.
04/03 158.6 lbs, 1000 calories, 8,000 steps, IF 16 hours. I am finding it really makes no difference what kind of exercise I get as long as my calories are under 1000 and limited carbs in the evening but that's hard. I am really getting tired of salads. We got over 3 inches of ice and snow on April Fools and it's depressing. Sigh...
04/04 160.6 lbs Hmmm.. Beer bread, spinach dip and beer and video calling with friends. Oh, well, it was so good to hear from everyone. At least I found out my scale isn't stuck on 160. LOL

Hi, I’m Karen and I’m in my 50’s
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
Walk +/- 7 miles 4 x week. Goal Weight this Round: 152
Drink plenty of water, alcohol on weekends
SW-54
3/28-154-I know it will take me a long time to get out of the 150’s. I haven’t weighed this little in over 10 years. I’m keeping myself busy quilting, cleaning and walking during this time. This stay at home thing isn’t bad for a quilter. I just like going to the quilt shop for the social aspect; most Quilter’s have a “stash” of fabric and projects. A lot of them are making face masks, as long as they have elastic. I started my first day of “physical therapy “ yesterday at the chiropractor; a young guy smashed into the back of my car as I was coming to a stop a few days ago. I believe this will be an easy fix, it will just take time. By yesterday, I was able to walk about 4 miles and I will get back into sewing today. It’s all part of life. Glad to see all of you here!💚☕️
3/29-156-comfort food yesterday, but got all 7 miles in and my lower back is sore this morning. Glad to be in 150’s. It’s all good.
3/30-154-Careful eating, but no walk. Hmmmm. A walk for sure today...It’s Monday, here we go!☕️
3/31-157- Made creamed spinach; it has bacon, had salmon too....and some chocolate. Back on the wagon today!
4/1-156-Whew! Friends delivered BBQ’ed chicken and biscuits-real comfort food. Today I’ll make chicken & dumplings.
4/2-158 Not enough walking. PT 3x/week. I’ll get more walking this weekend.

Rainy Saturday here, with lots of wind, but in the 60s, so not all bad. The birdies in my yard are extremely busy — Mike the cat has lots to watch! I hope you all have engaging things to do, too.
3/29/20 - 180.6
Not surprised — we had pizza yesterday. DH had a craving. We had storms and rain all day yesterday, but it’s 60F and sunny this morning. I’m going for a walk! Have a healthy Sunday, everyone.
3/30/20 - 180.2
I’ve clearly hit some sort of equilibrium as I’ve stayed within .8 of a pound since Feb. 13. Though not the weight I’m aiming for, I think this is good for my body/metabolism and I’m getting a good idea of my real maintenance calories. When the weather warms up again (cold again after a beautiful morning yesterday) and I get more exercise, I’ll lose again. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
3/31/20 - 180
Forgot to check in this morning! Busy day. I hope everyone is well.
4/1/20 - 180.8
Hmmm. Normal fluctuation, since I ate responsibly yesterday. It’s possible I’m not drinking enough water. But I have been doing much better about snacking! Pease and health to us all.
4/2/20. - 180
Sunny and cold this morning. I’m looking forward to real spring.
4/3/20 - 180
It warmed up to 64 yesterday — whee! I went for a nice long walk, and the trees are all ready to burst into bloom and/or leaf. Fabulous!
4/4/20. - 181
Bah, humbug! But ok, I did eat robustly yesterday, including a handful (big handful) of salty Triscuits and some popcorn later. But I did it mindfully! I also worked in the 🌹🌼🌺🌸🌻 for an hour, and DH and I went for a nice long stroll after dinner. Now to my 💻 to write for a couple hours. By then it should be warm enough for a walk. I have to brave the grocery store sometime soon — ugh. But I hate shopping in normal times, so not that different. Have a safe, creative, healthy Saturday, all.

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.

03/28 250.4 I didn’t have much yesterday for breakfast, so I treated myself to some frozen yogurt. I also went grocery shopping and managed to find food! I was so happy to find some real food and almost stocked shelves for the first time in a few weeks.
03/29 251.2 No hugs needed! I was under calorie yesterday, but had all the carbs, nearly double what I usually eat. For some reason my appetite was still a little off in the morning and I treated myself just a little in the afternoon and evening. It was a very nice day and I learned that these days I’m happy with a happy meal.
03/30 251.4 The carb bounce always takes a couple of days to go. I finally got a good night sleep last night after a couple of days of either not sleeping or using sleeping pills.
03/31 250.6 There we go back down and hopefully some more losses in days to come.
04/01 250.8 Hmm, this week is now trending closer to my trend during ovulation than last weeks trend. With perimenopause who knows when what is happening anymore. It’s okay though I know that I’m eating within my calorie goals and I just have to wait out the water. On the plus side while at Walmart I picked up some new clothes because my light pants won’t stay up and it’s too warm for sweatpants. I had to get both a 20 and 22 because dressing rooms were closed and the 20s fit, just barely, so I’m keeping both so that I have something to wear while I lose a little more to fit comfortably into the 20s. It won’t be long and I’m just so thrilled that it I can find pants with ease.
04/02 250.0 Well my weight finally matches my drivers license. I’m at also at the lowest I’ve been in over 20 years.
04/03 249.6 I was hopeful of seeing this number yesterday during my “official” weigh in, but that’s okay I’m happy that I get to type that four now. By staying the course I’ll get to show it off next week.
04/04 247.8 I’ll see what tomorrow brings because I’m worried this is a false low. However, I am very on track so who knows, I guess I’ll see tomorrow.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/28 - 356.0 - I conducted a little experiment. I live near Philly, where we are known for our cheesesteaks. Lots of shredded meat, cheese, some fried onions and mushrooms, all slapped on a roll. So I bought one yesterday. But while I ate it, I also drank my ACV drink. I wanted to see if the ACV would affect my insulin and fat storage. Now I admit I don't quite understand the biomechanics well, but my calorie intake for yesterday was only 300 under my daily normal intake. But my weight loss was 1.4 lbs. I don't want to do this too often, but when I did our weekly shopping (the ONLY time I am around anyone during this quarantine), mom asked for donuts from our Amish farmer's market. Imagine pie filling (apple, strawberry, etc.) injected into a dough roll. One for mom, one for me. I'll be trying the ACV before eating mine. But I have been using the ACV before I eat my processed carbs and it seems to decrease/affect my insulin and weight loss for the positive. Anecdotal experiment, I know.
03/29 - 356.3 - That'll teach me for eating finger food for dinner. Egg rolls, taquitos and potstickers. WAY overdid it. Very tasty, though.
03/30 - 356.3 - No change... and weird. My calories were short by almost 700 yet no move down. Now I'm confused. I'll just stay the course and hope it corrects in the next few days.
03/31 - 356.1 - Slight downtick. I'm wondering if this is my first plateau. If so, I don't like it. I want to move down. Just kidding. I stopped my ACV for a couple of days and suddenly I've stopped. I've got to simply stick with what has worked and not play around with it. On a good note for substituting foods, I picked up some cauliflower crust pizzas to replace the standard flour and water. Still take Mom for an early morning walk and then my own walk. And two of the last three days I'm adding a kettelbell workout in. Slow, small steps are what get us there. Not dramatic changes that we can't sustain. My opinion. Everyone stay safe!
04/01 - 355.5 - Stumbled across a YouTube video yesterday talking about taking cold showers. I thought it was an early April Fool's joke, but after watching it and the links to others, I saw several important health benefits to it. Two that I think could help most of us on this site. First, cold showers help with weight loss. Apparently, by forcing the body temp lower, it causes us to shiver, which burns fat. Now, they say it only burns UP TO 9 lbs. a year, but every little bit helps. Second, where a hot shower opens the pores and allows things into the skin that don't belong. Cold showers close the pores and prevent impurities in. What impurities? How about those things like bacteria that cause pimples, sores, etc. So, I tried it. I started with a luke warm shower and gradually made it colder and colder. Refreshing, and not as difficult as you might think.
04/02 - 355.8 - another minor uptick. Meh... I'm doing my early morning walk, but having trouble motivating myself to start lifting weights again.
04/03 - 355.5 - another small drop, back to Wednesday. But it was very windy this morning so I didn't go out for my walk.
04/04 - 355.5 - I'm either stuck or my scale needs to have the batteries changed. There's no way I stay virtually the same for this long... unless I really have hit a plateau. It's ok if I have, just bummed because it's right before I hit the 50 lb. loss mark. I know... stay the course. Just frustrating.

03/27 …..203.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
03/28 …..203.5 …..
03/29 …..203.5 …..
03/30 …..203.5 …..
03/31 …..203.5 ….. 04/01 …..203.2 ….. I pre-logged yesterday to have a blueprint to follow since my discipline has been pretty bad. I did go back and change it up a bit choosing some not as healthy over more of the healthy choices, but overall, I stayed within my overall goals pretty well. Today, I will try to stick to the healthier choices. The sugar-free ice cream bars are all gone now. Down 0.3 so I am feeling pretty good about that.
04/02 …..203.2 ….. Under cals but carbs a little higher than I’d hoped for. I over-reacted to a sugar drop and fast hunger. I handled it so-so.
04/03 …..203.1 ….. Finally, no severe glucose drop last night (after 3 of them this week). Sadly, I know why. It was the sugar I ate. I did very very very well all day until about 1:00 a.m. when I had a sugary (and unnecessary) snack that I shouldn’t have had. Otherwise, I KNOW the scale would have reflected an even bigger loss. However, anything is better than nothing! So far today, a great day again. However, it’s a challenge getting enough movement in. Paying bills today online for the business so a lot of sitting. Trying to get up every hour, get some steps in, burn more than what I’ll be eating. It is beautiful here today in Michigan. Sad because our Governor said in her conference yesterday that our shut-in will probably be extended beyond the current April 13th date. Thinking of you all……
04/04 …..203.1 ….. More of the same. I did very well yesterday but another late night snack due to cravings, not glucose drops. No gain, but it is definitely stopping my losses. Come on Donna! Get your butt together! Glucose is way too high this morning due to late night madness!

Round 109 - March 28 to April 6
Female, 5’, 67 years. SW – 165.6 (this is a blip up), GW – 163 something, UGW – 140.
Goals: continue with 12 hr. IF, complete my tracking every day and get some kind of outdoor exercise unless it is raining. That could be spring yard work or walking. 3x a week – either gym exercises I can do at home or other (like fitness video). Reminded again by my weight at the beginning of this round that I must get in the movement.
Day/Weight/Comment
03/28 – 165.6 – Couldn’t believe this at first as I’ve been 163/164 for most of the last round. Then I thought about it and realized – extra ice cream (1 cup vs my usual ½ cup), extra oat scone last night, mainly sitting the last week with very little exercise, etc. … all little things but they add up. I did go for a walk last evening which felt great, although man am I slow.
03/29 – 165 – IF 12 hrs., did not finish tracking. Raining outside so I did exercises while listening to a podcast instead of just sitting. Prepped the trim I need to paint – thought I would get it painted but my chatty granddaughter phoned. Happy to have the talk with her and likely better to give the arm a break after all the sanding.
03/30
03/31 – 164.4
04/01 – 164.4 – IF 12 hrs. Tracked everything. Not so great about getting on here but making good progress on the painting trim. LOTS of phone calls … even from people we haven’t heard from in ages - I think they are bored. Of course our kids want to check in on us as well. So this is all great but after while I let DH answer cause I was not going to get finished otherwise. More prep to do today. Started doing exercises in the evening if I’m watching Youtube.
04/02 – 165 – No IF since I had a handful of dried cranberries late in the evening. Did not track but quite sure I was within cals. However, my inner self just rebelled at doing more painting prep. and I sat and stitched most of the day. I love doing that but it’s not good for the body – my eyes and hand need a break and my body needs exercise, sigh. At least binge stitching is better that binge eating …
04/03 – 165
04/04 – 165.8 – Thought I had a really good day yesterday and the usual IF. Today will make myself track. I notice with my husband that he is eating way more now that he is stuck at home so maybe I’ve eaten more than I realized. We’ve had snow and rain since the beginning of this round but today is lovely so hoping to get in a walk.

@musicsax – Local shops in Canada are few and far between – absolutely nothing in my area – so all my purchases are online unless I find one when I’m on a trip. This kit came from a small family business in Moscow. I used to teach new immigrants to Canada and had a few from E. Europe and know how hard it is to get by in those countries so kind of liked buying from her.
@SheilaBoneham – I knit some too but hadn’t done cross stitch since I was in my 20’s. I’ve found that it has changed a lot since then. There are so many different varieties of patterns and a ton of independent designers. Lots of them combine different counted work techniques with the cross stitch or add beads or use specialty threads. I especially liked the way the black backstitching was used in this design (though it’s a pain to do) but was surprised that it also uses shading – the background and some of the water in the containers is 1 thread instead of two and sometimes just a half stitch.
@deepwoodslady – Lol – even the vase is similar!

Looking forward:
Never give up! Never give in!- March: I need to focus on getting back to where I was pre-Christmas
- 2020: Goal is to stabilise weight around 145
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals
Back Story:2018:2020
My goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.
2019:
I exceeded that and have been below 150 for most of the last 2 months.
In 2018, I put on 10 lbs over the last 2 months of the year.
In 2019, I consistently lost weight since the end of July. I put on about 4lbs over the Christmas break, but was still below my original 2019 goal.
That's a WIN in my book!
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

I' m in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!
70 year 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.

03/28 163.2 lbs. 1,150 Calories, 18 Carbs, 13 Net Carbs, and 5,469. Took a short walk before it started to rain. We have been home for 17 days and only went to the grocery store twice. I am looking forward to nicer weather so I can get outside more. We are adjusting to the fact that this is going to take time. It breaks my heart people are suffering.
03/29 162.8 lbs, 914 Calories, 25 Carbs, 20 Net Carbs, 1,826 steps. I didn’t sleep very good last night. No energy today!
03/30 161.4 lbs, 1,263 Calories, 23 Carbs, 14 Net Carbs, and 13,424 steps. We were outside working in the yard today. Lots of sticks to pick up from the windy weather yesterday. Got the grass mowed and still had time to take a walk. 🤗
03/31 161.2 lbs, 1,264 Calories, 19 Carbs, 17 Net Carbs and 6,664 steps. I did get to walk outside again. Colder and no sunshine but it beats walking inside the house.
04/01 160.4 lbs, 1,238 Calories, 28 Carbs, 24 Net Carbs, 10,506 steps
I was able to walk outside today.
04/02 161.2 lbs 1,040 Calories, 25 Carbs, 21 Net Carbs, and 8,934 steps. It was a beautiful day. Did my walking 1st and then put in onions and potatoes in the garden.
04/03 160.8 lbs, 1,062 Calories, 26 Carbs, 22 Net Carbs, and 12,291 steps. Another nice day to work in the yard and mowed our back barn lot. But that was on a rider so still walked down the road to get my steps in.
04/04 160.0 lbs, 1,412 Calories, 53 Carbs, 41 Net Carbs and No Exercise. Rainy and cold today. Not sure why but I’m in a strange mood! I could have just kept eating but stop after the bowl of chocolate ice cream. I’ll get back on track tomorrow.

Please join us! Starting on 03/28 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 109
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.
SW: 158.7
GW: 156

03/28 158.7 ~ {Steps 8,927} ~ I’ll be home this round so I’m going to have to figure out a new normal of exercising before going to my daughters.
03/29 159.8 ~ {Steps 18,031} ~ We took a long drive and ate lunch at Burger Master, delicious burgers,I did a lettuce wrap with two patties and bacon, yummy. We also had a late dinner.
