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.
04/05 - 355.5 - A whole lotta nothing. Went for a longer walk this morning. Maybe I can use this to FINALLY light a fire under my *** and start lifting some weights.
04/06 - 355.0 - A small drop, but I'm not complaining. When I adjusted my macros before I started, I kept my carbs at 40%. That usually means anywhere from 250 to 320 grams of carbs. I'm not into keto, but I think I need to start dropping this number. My problem is that I love either a bagel or toast in the morning. Now the bread I use is fairly healthy, with 10g. of fiber and protein, but bagels... I may have to give up the ghost. I had to go out this morning to pick up some supplies, so I fabricated a mask (already have gloves). I was shocked to see so many taking NO precautions. If a person wants to be arrogant and not care about themselves, IMO they should, at the very least, consider the people they live with. This pandemic won't end until people realize it can over in a month if we all take the proper steps... or we can drag this out and their will be many, many more casualties. Please, PLEASE take care of yourself, which will also take care of your families and friends!!!

I failed... I accidentally fell asleep and took a nap while on my computer for work. But I forced myself awake (waking from naps is nearly impossible for me), took a shower, and cleaned the interior of my Jeep. Tomorrow my Rec Therapist friend is hosting yoga via Zoom for her work (with injured soldiers) and she invited us to join (just now allowed to have video or audio on us since we aren't soldiers. I'm allowed as a veteran but I won't be rude). Hopefully that will be enough to jump start me back into activity.7

Hoping to see a brand new low this round. I’m so so close and I think I can do it! Good luck everyone, stay healthy!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/28: 177.4 (I had a really good burrito from a local Mexican place and that is the reason for the gain along with no workout since it’s my rest day. All worth it within plan!)
03/29: 180.8 (wow, what an increase! TOM is arriving today so I know that’s why I have such a high increase. And we ordered Chinese from a nearby restaurant and I ate half of my meal. The food is notoriously salty, so I know that may be the reason. It’s okay! Back to my regular workout schedule today!)
03/30: 181.4 (A small increase! I did a workout for an hour on YouTube again and made some chicken fajitas. Hoping TOM comes and the weight starts to fall down before Friday!)
03/31: 180.4 (TOM decided to make an appearance yesterday afternoon as expected! It explains all the gaining and I was able to get a good workout in. Working from home is going well! Hopefully I feel this positive still in a month.)
04/01: DNW (I ate breakfast and completely forgot to weigh myself! I’ll make sure to weigh in before I start my work computer on. I did well with my eating and I hope that tomorrow I’ll see the 170’s.)
04/02: 179.6 (Its barely going down a few. I know the reason for the gain so far but I’ll keep trucking along!)
04/03: 178.4 (Not what I wanted to see, but TOM weight gain is real! I hope those pounds drop for next Friday’s weigh in. I did my fourth workout of the week yesterday and I’m exhausted!)
04/04: 179.2 (I had the day off from work and decided to sleep in and then make some cookies. It was a very lazy day coupled with tons of Netflix.)
04/05: 180.4 (I had another off day from working out and I decided to tackle my closet that I share with my hubby. Four hours later and with some sore hamstrings, I have the cleanest closet since I moved in more than 4 years ago. This is one of the positives to having to stay at home!)
04/06: 180.2 (Pretty shocked I didn’t gain weight from the massive salad I made for lunch! It’s a Monday challenge end which means for sure I’ll have an increase. I did a dance workout at home and burned 600 calories! I was a sweaty mess and it was a blast. Onto the next round!)
Total gain this round: +4.0 pounds

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.

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.

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.
04/04 191.4 went up to maintenance calories and nailed the exact same weight. Not what I really want but at least no gain yet when eating more. Let’s see how this plays out.
04/05 192.0 oh boy. Back to the start of this sequence. Was still green on calories. No exercise though. Rest day.
04/06 191.8 green on calories. Sure doesn’t show.
