Day/Weight/Comment
04/16 …..202.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
04/17 …..202.3 ….. Any drop is a good drop. The goal is to type my weight in pink as much as possible. My plan has been to take several small walks per day of 10-20 minutes to avoid the sugar drops. I then add them up at the end of the day to submit to MFP. The calorie burn is not working out to be as much as one long steady walk and stretch of time, but I guess it really shouldn’t. So far, it has been easier to stick to plan without the glucose drops. I am still reserving some carbs (like cottage cheese or an Atkins bar) for late night in case it happens. With less travel, I know I can do better as I try to keep my home a safe zone. There are some temptations because of food my son eats (We all know its harder to follow plan when you must cook for your family). Overall, I just want to be ready for summer if it ever comes (snow again yesterday, today a bit better). Lots of good inspirations kick me into gear but the other day I was trying to get in a walking set while on the phone (not fast walking,) and my cousin on the other end asked me if I was walking or working because I was breathing so hard! That was the last straw! It wasn’t like that last summer/fall so I’ve got some work to do right NOW, not later. I am happy that the last two round showed a loss (no matter how small) and I have began this round with a teensy loss so I am still on the right path. Even if I lose the equivalent of a drop of sweat, I am a happy girl right now to be eating right and moving again! Welcome all newbies and good luck everyone this round!

04/18 …..202.3 ….. Sometimes I expect the scale to go down EVERY SINGLE DAY but, of course, in reality it does not work that way. I had another great day yesterday with my diet plan and my movement. I walked over 80 minutes of planned walks total in five smaller sets and avoided the glucose drops again. I am really training my body like I had to when I first started my journey. Reading over my journal has really helped remind me of some of the tools I used. I am feeling really great today because I know I am in training for my nice long trail walks and neighborhood walks again! come on nice weather!

04/19 …..202.5 ….. I had a small set-back last night in a moment of weakness. It was totally uncalled for. Thank Goodness that there was finally a TMI this morning or the scale would have been less forgiving. Back on track today with well-planned meals & snacks. Cabin cleaning day so I hope to get in plenty of movement. Today I will be very strict because tomorrow may be a travel day. I need certain supplies that only the bigger towns can provide right now.

04/20 …..202.5 ….. Status Quo yesterday. Today we travel to get supplies as we have virtually no stores in the town (county) where I live. Travel is never good to my scale, but I will be back on track tomorrow. It will feel good to get out a bit, but naturally, we will be wearing gloves and masks. I don’t sew very well (by hand). I’m not saying they look very pretty, but they have been serving their purpose, especially when we have to enter the cabins. Have a beautiful day everyone!

04/17 - 156.3 - terrible weight today (2 pounds up from yesterday?), but I will focus on the end of the 10 days weight from round to round. At this point down 2 pounds from November 18.19. Lots of work for small results, but I am going to persevere.

Round 111 - April 17 to 26
Female, 5’, 67 years. SW – 166.6 GW – 165’s, UGW – 140.
Goals: continue with 12 hr. IF, 5-6 glasses of water a day (I drink lots but it tends to be tea. I limit the black/green to 4 lg. mugs), complete my tracking every day and get some kind of outdoor exercise unless it is raining – in which case indoors. Did not do well on the exercise the last couple of rounds and it shows – a steady creep up.
As noted at the end of last round, I changed my morning routine which has worked well except that I never got around to MFP – so tweeking that a bit.

Looking forward:
I'm just too danged cussed to let this thing knock me back, and ruin all the effort I have put in to get here. I am stepping up my routine, and taking control. Sheltering in place means I can fully concentrate on getting in my exercise, and preparing healthy food.

• April: focus on maintaining and increasing my progress
• 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

Never give up! Never give in!
Back Story: 2020
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/17 - 351.9 - No change to start (from yesterday). Made my 50 lb. loss mark yesterday. I'm now within striking distance of getting under 350 and 1/4 of my desired total weight loss (54.25 lbs. / 348.5)
04/18 - 352.6 - rain this morning to no walk and hence the weight uptick.
04/19 - 351.9 - Nice walk this morning. A little cold, but that's kinda refreshing. After a yesterday of doing nothing, I feel a bit more energetic today.
04/20 - 351.7 - I was looking over things that cause plateaus and one of the things I haven't been doing lately is drinking water in the morning. I had it in my head that being dehydrated helped with the scale. Needless to say, even if it goes up a bit tomorrow, I've gotta start drinking water+ in the mornings.

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.

Start weight... October 2017: 107kg
Goal weight... October 2017: 75kg

Previous round in spoiler, started on R110

I have been meaning to lose the last few KG to get down to my 75kg goal. Now nothing is open I thought this would be the perfect time to get there. I have been sitting around my current weight since August 2018 so I am comfortable with my maintenance lifestyle but always had that end goal in the back of my mind that I set in October 2017!

R111 GW - 79.7kg

17/04 - 80.4kg - Rest day - 2000 calories - 3.2 miles walked - 320 excess calories

18/04 - 80.7kg - Workout day - 2500 calories - 3.2 miles walked - HASfit 60 minute total body strength workout - 500 excess calories

19/04 - 80.6kg - Workout day - 2500 calories - 4.2 miles walked - HASfit 45 minute ultimate cardio kickboxing workout - 500 excess calories

20/04 - 80.6kg - Rest day - 2000 calories - 3.2 miles walked - 320 excess calories

21/04 - 80.2kg - Made some overnight oats for my post workout meal which I am about to dig into, just finished a 45 minute kickboxing workout and I am so glad I did it before starting my working day. These home workouts are wicked, I might not have to pay for a gym membership ever again! Have a good day everyone be mindful, stay positive and safe!

Forget about the number of the scale day to day, if you keep up the good habits and stay honest with yourself that number in 10 days time will be further from where you started and closer to where you want to be!

If you ever feel down and head to the snack draw to get something sweet or something you don't need to eat. Think about the real reason you started this journey in the first place, because when I think about mine it instantly gives me that 'it's not worth it feeling' and I grab a piece of fruit or have a coffee!

Thank you @GrandmaJackie

I live in the UK - aged 48 - with hubby and two daughters age 12 and 17 - other 4 (step) kids all grown up and left home and we also have 6 grandkids (aged between 1 and 7). Came back to this in round 110

R110 - Start weight 155.0lb Finish weight 152.3lb Round Loss 2.7lb

Round goal - keep tracking, keep losing and get out for my 10k steps walk in the evenings (working from home at the minute so desk bound most of the day) and keep active at the weekends with doing stuff round the house.
My first mini target is to get back into the 140's.....

04/16 - 152.3lb
04/17 - 151.3lb (-1.0lb) Happy with that for day 1! Didn't get out on a walk yesterday other than a short walk up to our local shops as so busy with work and then our weekly virtual pub quiz night with friends via video and a catch up with hubby on the phone who is working away at the moment. but I'm tracking, drinking my water and feeling focused so its all good

04/18 - 150.4lb (-.90lb) All good so far. Got out for a 4mile walk yesterday evening and feeling very positive and in control at the moment The's 140's are close ..........

04/19 - 150.6lb (+0.2lb) Not in any way due to excess calories, just my usual weight loss pattern - lose for a few days then stabilises off for a bit. Had a beautiful 5mile walk yesterday with my 12 year old DD over to the woods that were so full of bluebells the smell was almost overpowering. Was a wonderful couple of hours Have changed my profile pic to one I took yesterday that will make me smile every time I remember today! There are definitely some advantages to the world at the moment as we would not normally have the time to do this on a "normal" Saturday afternoon. HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE

04/20 - 149.6lb (-1.0lb) Another lovely walk yesterday with DD. We did the "Seven Woods Walk" a total of just over 9 miles. Weather was beautiful again and it was lovely being out listening to the bird song and seeing how different the woods were to each other. And very happy to see a loss after a weekend - I'm finding lock down is doing wonders for the diet as no socialising, hubby still working away, no temptations to grab anything you shouldn't when out and time to sit down, plan and cook without having to grab something when heading out the door in our usual rush. So overall finding it quite easy to be very in control of food
We've been told we have at least three more weeks of lockdown in the UK so hoping this mindset continues for a bit longer before having to go back to any sort of reality!
First mini target reached of the 140's - next mini target is 147 (as equates to 10 and a half stone in the UK).....

04/21 - 148.9lb (-0.7lb) Oh happy days! Definitely on a roll this round! Another good food day and a 4.5mile walk after dinner yesterday evening. I need to bottle up this current enthusiasm, will power and motivation !!

04/18 161.6 no cardio yesterday, tried a beginners body weight workout instead. Today is takeaway night (trying to make it feel like it’s Saturday by treating ourselves) so tomorrow won’t be great.
04/19 163 expected this as we had Dominos, so need to keep rest of this challenge as good as I can in order to hit target.

04/20 163.6 🤔 don’t know how this happened. Stayed within calories yesterday and also walked 7km. Maybe the damage from Saturday was still there.
