'm going to try this again...Thank you all for still being here, was really excited to see this challenge still going from when I used it over 2 years ago. I didn't achieve much last round...except for starting the habit of daily accountability. This round I'm going to work more on my food habits, I need to figure out a way to keep shoving bad snacks in my face in the late afternoon and later evening.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/07: 182.2 - basically back where I started at the beginning of last round. We've been filling in our Family calendar with national and international celebration days since there are not band rehearsals, sports, volunteer groups happening right now...and yesterday was "No Diet Day" so my boys requested all the fried food and poutine....we haven't had poutine in over 2 months, it's usually only an eat out treat for us, but my "homemade" version was SOOOOO good....
05/08: 179.2 - flushed a lot of that end of cycle hormone bloat yesterday, I could almost feel it leaving thought the day. Food choices were great!! Had extra salad instead of the noodles I made for everyone else as a side at dinner last night. Found out yesterday that the August gift show I usually work on for my main freelance clients has officially been cancelled for this year. It's one of my main gigs and at this point I'm usually putting together planograms and sample orders for it....I'm still hopeful that as our province begins to re-open more that they'll still be needing me to work in their showrooms. I'm really missing my creative work life right now
05/09: 179.0 - Good day yesterday great hike with the dog in the morning, kind of boring day but ended with an awesome virtual chat with one of my housemates from university. We've been doing zoom coctail parties every couple of weeks since isolation started, but tonight only she and I could make it, we were going to cancel but so glad we had a chance to connect one on one. We got 2 inches of snow last night...so I'm not very motivated to do our regular morning hike today, maybe I'll get one of the boys to pick up the kettlebells with me this afternoon.
05/10: 177.8 - Unexpected but kind of makes sense...I usually have a big drop the first few days of starting or re-starting a significant change in my eating habits. I think what I was doing last week was blocked by my raging peri-menopausal hormones. Now that is cleared for this cycle my body is self adjusting. Had a good food day and did end up going for a long walk with the dog but no hike in the snow. Looking forward to the Mother's Day Brunch my hubs is picking up from one of our local favourites. We haven't eaten anything not prepared at home since March.
05/11: 179.0 - Didn't even attempt to log my delicious brunch yesterday.
05/12: 180.8?!?! - I'm all over the place....bodies are weird. I do need to lay off the carbs a bit though...everyday I have some extra I bump the water retention.
05/13:179.0 - turned around back in the right direction.
05/14:179.6 - Started yesterday with an awesome hike with the dog...then pulled my calf muscle on the sidewalk on our way back home from the bluffs...felt it twang and thought I was going to have to call my husband to come pick me up...left me pretty gimpy for the rest of the day. It's tight this morning but not as bad as I though it might be. I think we'll just stick to a walk in the neighbourhood for the next few days.

05/07 122.6 Sweet, lost another .2! Yesterday was good food wise. I made carnitas in the pressure cooker last night for dinner and turned them into bowls with brown rice, black beans, and mango salsa. They were yummy and will be dinner tonight too! Had another good walk this morning, around 3.5 miles. Last night was fun and I had a random sober dance party for like 45 minutes because my husband was listening to throw back pop songs covered by heavy metal singers. So, I couldn’t help but dance while he continued to be on the computer and enjoy his beverages. Have a good day everyone 😊.
05/08 123.2 Water weight fluctuations are fun, this is probably due to my salty dinner last night but man was that Annie’s Mac and Cheese worth it. I had a craving and indulged but I did manage to stay within calories. I also savored every bite! So, it’s all good. I even squeezed in an impromptu cardio session before dinner last night! Just got back from our morning walk and it was accidentally extra long at 5.5 miles. I’ll take it 😊.
05/09 123.2 I’ll take the steadiness at least. Maybe I’ll drop tomorrow. Who knows. Bodies are so weird when it comes to weight loss. Today was decent with food but kind of a hard day to track my dinner. I made myself an awesome bowl of oatmeal for my breakfast/lunch @ 11 because I intermittent fast. Then for dinner I made buffalo chicken cutlets so that was hard to calculate. I probably ate about 5 oz of chicken with a ¼ cup bread crumbs made from Ezekiel bread (the only stuff I had to make crumbs with) and a couple tablespoons worth of oil. There was also some hand made fries cooked in the air fryer. So, I did the best I could with my estimates and I guess that’s all you can do. I’m pretty sleepy today and was happy that I attended a virtual christening for my baby cousin because it gave me an opportunity to see some family via Webex and lay in bed for a couple hours 😊. It’s been a solid day. Have a good night everyone!
05/10 122.8 Was busy with stuff for mother’s day and didn’t have a chance to pop in here. I made a pot roast in the pressure cooker with some carrots and parsnips. Then, I made some mashed potatoes to go with it. It was a nice family dinner with my in-laws and my mother in law appreciated me cooking it all. We live with them but don’t typically eat with them because our living space is separate from theirs. Didn’t really exercise this weekend except for some nice stretching on Saturday. My body definitely needed the rest though.
05/11 122.8 Feeling a little slow moving today. We went on our usual walk but kept it to around 5k this morning. I might break my fast early this morning and have some tea because I have zero ambition to do any work today. Have a great day everyone!
05/12 122.8 Hey all! Feeling much better today. I got a good night’s sleep and have a feeling the weight will be dropping this week because the hormonal water weight/ and ish will be clearing out soon. Energy is up and we went for an almost 5 mile walk today 😊. Food went well yesterday, and today’s plan is looking good too! I’ll be making some maple blueberry breakfast sausage that came in our CSA to be part of my first meal of the day. I’m excited to try it because it’s new to me! Have an awesome day!
05/13 122.8 I’ll take this little stagnation, I’m just grateful to be maintaining it. My body feels good, so I’m happy with that. We did a 4 mile walk this morning and I did a 15ish minute body weight workout this morning. The energy is slowly starting to come back again. It’s so interesting how hormone fluctuations can make you feel throughout the month. I’m also going to try some fennel and dandelion tea to see if this weight is just a bit of fluid retention. I also had a carb heavy dinner but it was so good! It felt and looked like a restaurant meal. We had dry packed gnocchi with frozen meatballs, Rao’s marinara (our favorite sauce to treat ourselves) fresh basil and romano cheese on top. The best part is that it was within my calories for the day 😊.
05/14 122.8 Got in another good walk this morning. My muscles were sore from my workout yesterday so I took it as a sign to rest and focused more on stretching this morning instead of a body weight workout. I might try to do some jump roping later on today to get in a little cardio. My food was good yesterday, I made a breakfast sandwich plus an orange for my first meal, snacked on some dried fruit in the afternoon and made a mushroom and veggie coconut milk dish served over brown rice and lentils. Solid day over all 😊 I hope you all are able to enjoy your day a bit!

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.

05/07 120.5 Reaction to carbs. I wasn’t excessive but my body hates them. Only 30 total grams, 26 net but the good news is that those tortilla chips I used to love are really not that good. Amazing how taste changes when you avoid that garbage. Also bloated and my shorts are tight when they were loose a couple of days ago.

05/11 121.0 Great Greek salad always does this. It will pass. Late addition- I weighed last night on the way to bed and almost had a stroke! I was 126!! Up 5.5 from yesterday morning. I got up and peed THREE times during the night! I know it will go back down in a day or two. The advantage of weighing daily and learning my body’s patterns.
05/12 121.0 Online grocery shopping stinks!
05/13 120.5 I can’t believe this round is almost over!
05/14 121.5 Fasted until 3PM yesterday and then had one meal and a snack by 8:30, went to bed just before 11.9 -
Little rant: Yesterday's walk was super short so I decided, with more time between meetings, I'd take the dog for a walk. Got 3/4 of the route and she decided to randomly start running circles around me (on her leash). Ended up running so close in front of me, I kicked her mid step (not hard, but enough to feel bad), stepped on her paw (which I then sacrificed my ankle to avoid breaking her paw with all my weight) and landed on top of her. She then decided to try to drag me along the road while I was trying to stand up.
So much for trying to be nice and spoil her with a little neighborhood walk. She's fired. I'm grounded (BF jokingly grounded me because this is the same ankle I thought I broke about 3 months ago). I'm so mad at the pup because she knows better, but decided to be a spaz and how she's scared/mad at me and I'm sitting on the couch with this giant bump wrapped in an ice pack hoping it isn't as bad as last time. At the same time, I feel awful because I know that wasn't a pleasant experience for her (though, honestly, it was her fault. She's been rambunctious all morning and I should've taken that as a warning a walk wouldn't be smart and she wouldn't behave. Walked past 2 other people walking their dogs and she was fine so I thought we were okay... Then suddenly, for no apparent reason, she goes crazy. She's special.)
Note: I was alone and BF is gone out of town to help pick up a vehicle so noone is able to pick me up. Had to walk home with the spazzing dog on this. It doesn't seem as bad as 3 months ago since I was able to walk on it immediately, though painfully. No bruising yet.
11 -
@CamandJarvis Ouch! that was not a good experience, for either of you ! As it's the ankle you hurt 3 months ago maybe you still have some tenderness there that swells up at the slightest mishap ? rest and ice now

@quiltingjaine "05/12 Online grocery shopping stinks!"
I couldn't agree more. I gave in, against better judgement, and placed an order for a total of 14 items with Amazon Pantry. It got broken up into 5 different orders. The "expected delivery dates" changed every day. One item that is sold in a cardboard container was put into an envelope and mailed to me, ended up crushed, open, spilled out. One order is delayed indefinitely - it contains one of two identical items and one has arrived, the other has not.
Lesson learned. I'll continue to pick out my own foods for the foreseeable future.3 -
@CamandJarvis that's terrible! I hope you recover quickly! It's a good thing our dogs give so much love, becuase they sure can be trying some times!
Ice is your friend. Be patient.3 -
@matratazola @eyesopennow She has since figured out I'm hurt and although mad at what she did, not holding a grudge. She knows she did something wrong and was following me around the house as I searched for my brace (still can't find it. Moving sucks!). Very loving and puppy dog-eyed at me.
The ankle was still a bit sensitive (severely tore ligaments and tendons back in 2012 and then micro tears 3 months ago -- it will never heal properly) but it was stable. Honestly wouldn't have given out if I hadn't allowed it to, but I'd rather roll my ankle than break her poor paw. She is only a dog and I can't, in good conscience, hurt her to save myself when I know she's so confused. She knows better than to act like that on a leash but that doesn't deserve a potentially broken paw. Swelling is down now that I've had ice on it and I plan to continue that as I have no solid plans for the remainder of the day except a work meeting and, now, searching for my brace in between resting it. There's only so many places it can be!4 -

05/06 …..204.9….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
05/07 …..208.8 ….. Another jump up on the scale from the carbs (restaurant) during yesterday’s business travel. I got the special order of indoor/outdoor carpet picked up for the cabins. It is only available for a very limited time due to Michigan weather so I am thrilled to have gotten it in time and when things are slow enough to have it installed (soon I hope). Even though I am an essential business that supports other essential workers, things have really slowed down. General travel (just for vacation or fun) has been cancelled thru the mandates since March 23. The mandate in Michigan (for the national emergency) is due to expire May 28th, unless extended again. In my area, all summer events have been cancelled. All the money makers and all the things that bring tourists to my community (which will kill my motel business!) However, I do understand that those in my small little town just want to put a wall around it and keep everybody from the cities out. I get it but financially it is difficult. Yesterday in the big city many customers were not wearing masks even though it has been mandated to do so in stores and public places. I would say about 25% had no masks and I was shocked so many of the stores allowed it, including a walmart! It was a very long day. I tried to make a few stops and walk around a bit. My diet was completely off. Today I will be back to normal. Sorry Carbs, Sorry Sodium I will be flushing you away today!
05/08 …..207.2 ….. Goodbye travel bloat! Yesterday had very little movement due to working on electronic downloads and ordering with someone more “expert” than me to help. It was an all-day process. Diet was on point and I was surprised to find no major extra hunger or cravings after a travel day that included extra carbs. That really helped make it much easier to stay on point. Today is more electronic stuff including new downloads to the visa/mc machine which will keep me on the phone awhile for instructions and imputing. I will try to move as much as I can in-between. Snow today in Michigan! Cold & gloomy outside so I will have to pull the ski-machine out again to burn a little. If I can fit in a dance or a Zumba, I will. Have a nice weekend everyone!
05/09 …..204.8 ….. Okay, there goes the rest of the water retention and bloat from the travel. It took two full days, but I’m back to pre-travel weight. I plan on pre-logging food, doing some prep cooking today for the freezer and FINALLY getting some movement back in again, although it will all probably be indoors due to more snow and cold/freezing temps. It’s supposed to be Spring for Goodness Sakes in Michigan! In no way can we plant yet. I can’t WAIT for flowers!
05/10 …..205.2 ….. My 60th Birthday!!!! Happy Birthday to me! So nice that it lands on Mother’s Day this year. A good day yesterday except for the freshly baked banana nut bread my daughter dropped off (wearing her mask of course). We have not been able, still yet, to get flour in our area so this was a nice treat (she had bought in bulk before covid-19). The calories stayed under, the carbs were over but it was worth it. Very moist. So there is an uptick on the scale. Even with my double holiday, I will try to keep it reasonable today. I don’t want to permanently wipe out any progress I am making. Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!
05/11 …..205.1 ….. I am posting late because I have been outside cleaning out the barn & storage area. This will be a multi-day project which includes hired help. I’m hoping all my hard work will show up on the scale tomorrow!
05/12 …..205.1 ….. I will be working in the barn again today. I realized that going through totes and boxes does not include much walking but I sure was on my feet a long time yesterday and I anticipate the same today. I kept the calories good yesterday but the choices included carbs that were a bit high and sodium I didn’t really need. Today, no matter how busy I stay, I will try to choose healthier options to keep all the macros in line.
05/13 …..205.1 ….. Exactly the same weight which kind of surprised me. I worked so hard on barn cleaning yesterday. A ton of lifting and sorting. I am very sore today! Finally a beautiful day here with no snow. Temp to reach high of 60 today and no freezing temps tonight so off to the nursery I go with hired help to choose hundreds of flowers (600-1000) to plant for my home and my business too! Lots of work to do today so the calorie burn should be good. The trip to the nursery, however, will eat up about 4 hours of my time due to the travel, but I should get a lot planted this evening. Tomorrow is rain so back to work inside the barn for me tomorrow! Maybe this stagnant scale will finally move!
05/14 …..205.0 ….. I was hoping for a bigger drop. Yesterday I was gardening all evening after the long trip to the closest nursery. About 50% of the flowers were planted. All the weeds pulled and the dairy doo put down too. Today is cold and rainy so we will be working inside the barn to try and finish that project. I think tomorrow should be better weather, we should be able to finish the flower planting. Today I woke up starving (after days and days of extra hard work). I probably ate too many carbs for one meal so I am going to watch the carbs and calories more carefully for the rest of this very long day. It should be okay.

@CamandJarvis I’m so sorry about your ankle although envisioning the episode made me chuckle 🤭 Our daughter had a similar incident - her 2 dogs circled her and she went down - several years ago which further screwed up her knee and did something to that foot. She ended up having surgery to repair everything and never took both dogs out together again! May I suggest getting a very short lead? Again sorry for accident and hope you find your brace quickly!
@eyesopennow Going into the store would be sooo much quicker and I could decide what substitutes I want instead of relying on Walmart people. We are forbidden and don’t want 2 hysterical daughters if we were to get sick.
@deepwoodslady Donna, do not despair! You have undertaken a lot of activity the last few days and that may have led to water weight. Patience! 😘😘5 -
Round 113 - May 7 to 17
Female, 5’, 67 years. SW – 168.4 GW – 167 or lower, 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 or IF the last couple of rounds and it shows – a steady creep up.
Day/Weight/Comment
05/07 – 168.4 – This is the most I have ever weighed, period. I am retaining water as my newly sized rings are suddenly tighter and my whole system seems slowed down. It may be that my thyroid meds. need changing but I have been the same dose for about 35 years. So first I’m going to just try drinking lots of water and walking. I have not been great on IF the last week but am quite sure I’m been within maintenance cals.
05/08 – 169.2 – This is crazy. I actually changed the battery in the scale because I couldn’t believe it. Tracked cals. and was under maintenance, IF 12 hrs. and did 20 mins. exercises. Supper was a little salty but something we eat regularly and haven’t noticed a bounce before. Yesterday was rainy but today beautiful so will be working outside.
05/09 – 169 – Tracked all (rather late) and was just at maintenance because of mango and hot choc. in the evening. Think I may have figured out cause of my water retention – black licorice. I don’t eat it often but every once in a long while get a craving for it. I ate about ½ a package in 3 days. I wonder if the craving is because my blood pressure is low because it both raises blood pressure and causes water retention as well as depleting potassium. Anyhow, staying away from it and ate some banana with frozen hascap berries.
05/10
05/11 – 168.8 - Nice Mothers’ Day yesterday – a lot of time on the phone. I hear from my 4 girls regularly but the 2 boys it tends to only be special days. Did not log at all yesterday but noted on Sat. that I was just at maintenance. So going to focus on tracking this next 6 days. Beautiful weather here so a major push this week to get the yard in shape for listing our house. Real Estate here seems to be up, much to our surprise. Maybe a reaction to people wanting to get out of the big city?
05/12 – 168.6 – No IF but did track cals. Kept in maintenance even though I snacked in the evening. Did about 4 hrs. yard work but didn’t count the calories as I think MFP allows way too much for it. I did about 1 hr. that involved some digging and the rest was just sitting cleaning up perennials. I did go for a 20 min. evening walk on some of our steeper streets. Haven’t done that in a long while – so out of shape but a lovely evening.
05/13
05/14 – 167.8 – Nice surprise. Tracked until supper and then was in too much of a hurry to get back outside. I’m guessing calories were maintenance or just under. Yard work all afternoon and evening till it got too cold. May tends to be rainy/showery here so it’s ‘get stuff done’ whenever the rain stops. When I came in cold and tired figured I needed a little snack and hot chocolate. At least I’m not too sore on the arms after all my digging out grass.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/07 - 346.8 - A little tick down. I'm gradually starting to do more with weight/bands and it feels good. I found it feels even better if I stretch or do yoga beforehand. My morning walk is a great warmup, I just gotta keep going.
05/08 - 346.7 - Another little tick down. I like it. I watched a news story about COVID19 starting much earlier than previously thought (late December). Apparently, it was found in Wuhan in early November and in FRANCE in mid-December. I bring this up because in late January, I got a terrible cold and cough I could not shake. Then gave it to my mom. After about 2 weeks, I got concerned enough about my mom that I took her to her doctor. She was given some meds for inflammation and an antibiotic. It took a few days, but she got better. I bring this up because it now seems possible that many of us (up to 20 million) may have had an early version and most of us got over it. Just putting this out there. I'm not letting down my guard, but I'd be pretty happy if we already got thru this and my 82 y.o., breathing-compromised mom got past it, too.
05/09 - 346.5 - And yet another very minor tick down. At least it's not going the other way (LOL). I was watching an old Joe Rogan podcast on YouTube where he sits down with Diamond Dallas Page of DDPYoga. Every time I see him speak and show how he's been able to help those with mobility issues and, to a lesser degree, weight loss, I get motivated to use his product again. Hell, I already pay the $8.99/month, so I may as well get some use out of it.
05/10 - 346.3 - And the little ticks down just keep on keeping on.
05/11 - 346.1 - Lather, rinse, repeat. At this rate, I won't make the goal this round. But I am starting to exercise more (calisthentics, weights, kettlebell), so that's a good thing.
05/12 - 345.4 - Nice drop. Of course, I worked out twice. After dinner, I did 20 mins. of DDPYoga, then pulled out my TotalGym and worked out chest. Soaked with sweat. This morning I walked for 35 mins., then my shoulder work, squats, deadlifts, rows and RIP trainer for my core. Quick story... after dinner last night I weighed 353.6. After last night workout, 349.8. Then this morning after workout... 345.4. That's an 8.2 lb. change in about 12 hours. I drank some water during this period, but not alot. I read that working out during a fast helps burn more fat since you don't have the sugar fuel. It really has me energized. The only slight drawback is that my knees are a little sore. And these workouts aren't too long, either. Morning is only 30 mins. (plus the walk) and evening is 30 mins. plus the 20 for DDP Yoga.
05/13 - 344.6 - Another really good loss. I worked out again this morning, but missed last night. I got an email that the FBI was hiring (yes, that FBI) for IT and forensics specialists. And the deadline was last night. So, while all other federal jobs go thru a different website (usajobs.com), the FBI has their own. And it was a MESS to navigate. After getting stuck several times, I finally realized that the ONLY web browser that works is MS Edge. And nowhere on their site does it tell you to use that browser. #Frustrating But I finally finished them at 10PM last night. But during the past few days, when I have time to do the workout, I'm soaked with sweat and feel like I really accomplished something.
05/14 - 344.1 - OK, back on a downswing again. Just a few days ago, I was lamenting that I wouldn't make my target for this round. Well, I'm already under it with 2 days to go. I'm really enjoying lifting again for the first time in over 30 years, when I quit when I found out my friends were all doing steroids. I'm still getting in my early morning walk and two (reasonably) short weight workouts early and late in the day.

05/07 - 64.4kg, happy with that, yesterday was fine and I had plenty of walking.
05/08 - 64.3kg, I got a msg yesterday that I hadn't eaten enough! So useful, thanks MFP :-)
05/09 - 64.1kg, nothing new, just the same old, 16,000 steps a day, just over 1,000 calories eaten a day
05/10 - 64.1kg, a plateau! Probably a good thing, wouldn't want to lose too fast ;-)
05/11 - 64.1kg, so stuck! But it's better than a bounce to the upside.
05/12 - 64.0kg, should I eat more? Is my metabolism slowing down?
05/13 - 64.7kg, yay! At last a drop. - **edited** to report 63.7kg
05/14 - 63.6kg, noticed the mispost yesterday. The weight's dropping so fast I lose track, ha ha
05/15 - 63.4kg, wow, that's great, hope it holds to the end of this 10-day challenge

Weight/BF%/Comment:
5/7: 231.2 (-0.8)/19.7 (-0.1). Finally got myself under my calorie goal for the day (after 3-4 days not doing this). I'm not feeling super-hungry during the day, but I'm still finding myself drawn to snacks at night. As long as I'm staying within my calories I'm "okay," but I feel like there's an opportunity here to get used to "eating when I'm hungry" vs. eating because it's the evening, and because it "feels good" in the moment.
5/8: 230.4 (-0.8)/19.6/ (-0.1). I was a little bit tempted not to track a couple of late night snacks last night. I've been REALLY good about tracking for the past week, and that helped me to avoid the temptation of ignoring a couple of small (but bad) snacks. I do better when I'm accountable. I'm trying to remember that. Weigh-ins are information. Tracked food is information. Being accurate about things is helpful and explanatory. Hiding ANYTHING from here is at least a tiny step toward disappearing. I really don't want to do that again. I like the way I look and feel when I'm healthy and fit. I REALLY want to get back to that place, and I want to STAY THERE.
5/9: 231.2 (+0.8)/19.7 (+0.1).
5/10: 230.0 (-1.2)/19.6 (-0.1). I got busy yesterday and did not make the time to post, but I'm still tracking every day and weighing in every day as well. I think I've mentioned that I tend to overestimate my calories every day. Yesterday, by my calculation, I was WAY over, even though I felt like I did "okay" during the day. I ate what I wanted for dinner, and I did not stuff myself, but I THINK I ended up eating a ton. This weigh-in makes no sense to me, so I'm not going to be surprised if I have a weigh-in or two in the next couple of days that is higher than I would have expected. I've also decided, officially, to cut alcohol completely out of my diet on weekdays, and I'm going to limit myself to two drinks per weekend (either one drink per day, or two drinks on one day). At its core, alcohol is just empty calories. I don't need those. I snacked a bit too much even after eating my "big" dinner last night as well. I REALLY need to get the late night snacking under control. I used to "control" it by have a protein shake if I got hungry at night. I am going to try that again.
5/11: 230.0 (0.0)/19.6 (0.0). Mother's Day without making my mother breakfast sucks. First time in 48 years that I haven't been with her. My wife wasn't happy with the day either. At least it's over! I'm REALLY bored with COVID-19.
5/12: 230.0 (0.0)/19.6 (0.0). Three days in a row with no change. One difference was that I was WAY better with my food intake yesterday (vs. the two days before). Another difference was that I weighed in much earlier today than I did over the weekend (and Monday). Today is likely "better than it looks." I'm really wanting to see a number under 230 before this challenge is over. I'm going to try to be patient, and to get even better at meeting my daily calorie intake goals.
5/13: 229.8 (-0.2)/19.6 (0.0). The slightest bit of movement! I'll take it! I ate light during the day yesterday because I knew my wife was going to get some good food delivered last night. I probably was a bit over calories (not sure how to possibly track what I ate), but I believe I successfully practiced "harm reduction."
5/14: 230.2 (+0.4)/19.6 (0.0). I've been pretty "stuck" in this general area for a bit, and if I'm honest with myself it has affected my motivation to "do the little things" (particularly food tracking, especially the past two days). Inevitably, when I stop tracking, I start to "cheat" a bit (last night it was a dozen VERY small chocolate chip cookies). Being aware of what's happening gives me the opportunity to do something different. Today I'm tracking my food, and I'm going to commit to some sort of exercise tonight, even if it's only for a few minutes.

05/10: 186 I'm back! 2020 has been super rough so far. I separated from my husband at the beginning of the year and ended up in hospital for a week and a half in March due to a severe UC flare. I lost over 20lbs and got sick of people telling me how wonderful I am for losing 6+lbs in a week so I stopped coming on myfitnesspal. I'm on cortisone steroids and immunosuppressants now and feeling sooo much better. However, I gained a lot of weight back so I'm trying to get rid of it again!
05/11 186.6 tom - I'm really hoping the steroids are causing me to retain a bunch of water. I'm tapering off them right now but still have another 5 weeks to get off them completely. I really can't wait to be off them - I'm just hungry allllll the time as well.
05/12 186.2 I finally had a good eating day yesterday! meaning I didn't eat everything in sight lol.
05/13 184.6 Woohoo! Feeling good! 😁
05/14 184.8 Had a lot of sodium at lunch yesterday. Going out of town tomorrow afternoon so tomorrow will be my last weigh day this round!

CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT:151.0
Goal is to loose 2 lbs9 -
Round 112 SW 242 (4/27/20)
Round 113 SW 238.6
Goals worked well last round, so I will continue them for one more: Walk at least 20 minutes every day, log food, avoid sugar and alcohol and the usual empty calories, take my meds every day on schedule, and drink my water. With those goals, my target weight for this cycle is 236.
05/07 Weight 238.8; Goals - walk: yes, 90 minutes; food: yes, 500 calories under; empty calories: 200, could have done better; med: yes; water: yes, 8.
05/08 Weight 238.4; Goals- walk: yes, 65 minutes;food: yes, 500 calories under; empty calories 250 too many; meds: yes; water: yes, 8. Stayed within my calories, but dinner was mediocre pizza from a local restaurant. Really disappointing, and I physically feel bloated and lousy. It's going to be below freezing tonight, so my morning walk may or may not take place tomorrow. Let's see how the weight and blood sugar look in the morning.
05/09 Weight 236.6; I am highly suspicious that this is a scale prank, we'll find out tomorrow. But even if it is tease it is very nice to see! Blood sugar was excellent (for me) this morning, 86. Goals - walk: yes, 90 minutes; log food: yes, 500 under; empty calories: FAIL. Too many, I am getting sloppy on this again; meds: yes; water: yes, 10 so far.
05/10 Mothers Day was strange and it disrupted a lot of the routine. Spent a good deal of time standing in my mother's, and then later my step-mother's, front yards social distancing and visiting. Early dinner was take out Chinese food, at my wife's request. It was my only meal of the day and it STILL almost busted my calories. Weight 236.6; Goals - walk, no, first miss on this in weeks; log food: yes, under but just barely; empty calories: not many; meds: yes; water: 9.
05/11 Beautiful day for a walk! Weight 236.6; blood sugar this morning: 89; Goals - walk: yes, 80 minutes; log food: yes, 500 under; empty calories: 140; meds: yes; water: 11 so far.
05/12 Weight 236.2; blood sugar this morning 89; Goals - walk: yes, 30 minutes; log food: yes, but misjudged it, went 200 calories over. ugh. empty calories: NONE - no snacks. meds: yes; water: yes,9.
05/13 Weight 235.8, which is better than my goal for the week!; sugar was 75 this morning; Goals - Walk: yes, 48 minutes at a faster pace than usual. I was pushing it to see how quickly I could finish 3.2 miles; log food: yes, just below target; empty calories: 145; meds: yes; water: 9 and counting.
05/14 Great day for me! Weight 234.8 (!) blood sugar was 100 this morning; Goals - Walk: yes, 80 minutes / 4 miles; log food: yes, 370 under; empty calories: too many, old habits die hard; meds: yes; water: yes, 10.

05/12 157.8 lbs + 1.6. Not sure why maybe to much sodium, water gain🤷♀️ I read that others in this group also go up and down! 1,138 Calories, 51 Carbs, 46 Net Carbs and 8,164 steps. I was able to get outside today. Love the Sunshine!!
05/13 157.2 lbs -0.6 1,337 Calories, 43 Carbs, 31 Net Carbs and 10,691 steps. Outside again today, did some yard work before the rain comes in.
05/14 156.2 lbs -1.0. I believe that this up and down has a lot to due with my digestive system. This might just be my body telling me this is the correct weight for me. If so I’m happy with that as long as I can stay in the 150’s. For me maintaining your weight is just as hard as losing it. This is where in the past I have slacked off and started gaining!! 1,573 Calories, 43 Carbs, 19 Net Carbs and 10,485 steps. I made coconut seed bread no sugar but high in Calories due to seeds. But I’v ate 3 slices!! Yum! 😋
