Bit about me... I did a metabolism reset last year and gained 40 pounds. It was well worth the weight gain, as I feel better in almost every way. I now I have over a hundred pounds to lose, however I’m intent on preserving the hotter metabolism that I sacrificed so much to achieve, therefore I’m eating in a very small deficit, and have been including high calorie days once a week or so.

I started losing weight again January 1st, and dropped 10 pounds by mid-March. Then the stress of Covid-19 hit, and I set weight loss aside for a couple months while we coped with social distancing, distance schooling for the kids, and helping children understand and cope with the pandemic and the forced isolation. I only regained about 4 pounds, and started last week on renewing my focus.

I lift weights three times a week, go on 15-20 minute morning walks with my kids on weekdays and am trying to incorporate yoga and just a little bit more cardio on my days off from lifting. I’m aiming to find what is sustainable and enjoyable for me, while keeping in mind that I DO need to push myself a bit to be more active.

5’4.5”, 32 years old, female
Highest weight: 275 (12/25/2019)
2020 Goal Weight: 250
Ultimate goal weight: 150

5/21: 269.4 ~ Evening weigh in, in an effort to just start doing the things I want to do, rather than continuously procrastinate on everything!

5/22: 267.4 ~ It is always fun to see the scale drop 2 pounds overnight, even though I know it’s just because I weighed myself at 11pm, hehe.

@Indigo3288 - good on you for jumping in and getting started straight away - there's no time like the present. Your're very welcome to join us, I hope you find us supportive and friendly.

@musicsax Thank you! I figured I could start straight away and at least get back into the habit of weighing myself every day. I have a lot of weight to lose, so delaying on finding ways to keep motivated isn’t in my best interest. Like you say, no time like the present!

Reading through some of the posts in this thread, everybody seems super friendly and supportive! Just what I’m looking for 🥰

Day/Weight/Comment
05/16 …..204.3….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
05/17 …..204.3 ….. I worked hard yesterday with the continuation of the barn cleaning project. Tedious along with some heavy lifting but not as much walking or steps, lots of standing in place sorting. I was hoping for even a smidgen of a drop on the scale, but patience usually pays off. Today I will plan my meals carefully. I’ve got to stay focused.

05/18 …..204.2 ….. Like Molasses but at least it is s..l..o..w..l..y dripping in the right direction. Today I have a lot on my agenda on this cold and rainy day. Flood warnings here. At least the newly planted flowers are happy! Today my dinner will be what I prep cooked yesterday. My meals will go well and I will stay busy. I will continue to dread the nighttime urge to binge when I get in bed in front of the TV. That has been going well so lets hope my strength continues. I want to see some greater progress on that scale! Everyone is doing so well! Let’s keep it up!

05/19 …..204.6 ….. Technically if only CICO mattered, I would have lost weight. I was under calorie goal by about 1000 (when factoring in my exercise). I had lots of movement and burn. My carbs were just over 100 including lots of healthy veggies. My water was a little improved. I slept in the 3 hour range (usually I am somewhere in the 4 hour range) but I woke up untired and refreshed. However, I do long for a 6 hour sleep night which I only get 2 or 3 times per year. I have a lot of hard work on my agenda. Spring cleaning a cabin from ceiling to floor. An un-glorified job for which I am not getting paid due to the restrictions on travel at this time. However, that makes it a good time to start all the deeper cleaning. I plan on keeping my diet on point and sticking to the healthy stuff today. I just gotta watch those carbs too!

05/20 …..204.3 ….. A bit of the bloat dropped off the scale so I am happy today. Also, perfect weather here. What a gorgeous day! I have lots of very hard work to do again today but I am up for the task. I am feeling so good right now-inspired by so much of what I am reading on this challenge and I am picturing that little chipmunk at @SheilaBoneham ‘s house after seeing the rabbit yesterday. What a beautiful day we have been gifted with. I hope everyone will enjoy all their blessings wherever they are!

05/21 …..204.3 ….. I ate back many of my calories yesterday but managed to stay in the green for the day. I am happy there was nothing weighing down my scale. I will have to see if anything shows up in the next couple of days because sometimes it does take a minute. What a gorgeous day today! Some cabin work, house work and yard work awaits me. Our governor has lifted a few restrictions so I am nervously and cautiously smiling. I always play it safe, no worries!

05/22 …..204.8 ….. There it is!!!! Drats! You can virtually hug me if you must, but in the next few days (holiday or not) plan on elbow tapping and fist bumping me because today I am planning a great day of restraint. One day at a time right?

Round 114 - May 17 to 26
Female, 5’, 67 years. SW – 167.8 GW – 167 or lower, UGW – 140.
Goals: continue with 12 hr. IF, 5-6 glasses of water a day, complete my tracking every day and get some kind of outdoor exercise unless it is raining – in which case indoors. Well, .5 down from last round so I guess that is better than up. Beginning of June we want to have the house ready for realtor assessment – so my goal is to keep at it without caving in to stress eating. Just have to keep focussed on how great it will be to be done.
Day/Weight/Comment
05/17 – 167.8
05/18 – 167.8 – Relaxing rainy day yesterday but too many evening snacks. Off and on rain again today but have indoor packing plans so no matter what should feel I’ve accomplished something.
05/19 – 168 – First boxes completely packed and DH has sent an email off to a realtor in new location. The house we are most interested in has been on the market for about a year so we’re getting a little nervous that it will disappear. So excited – let’s see if I can put that energy into getting things done while keeping the eating in check.
05/20 – 167.4 – Lots of outside work moving perennials, not so great on food – had dark chocolate ice cream when I came inside in the evening. Read an interesting comment by a fitness coach to the effect that we eat relatively the same foods at the same times so our body expects that. When we change things our body still demands what we’ve been giving it even if it doesn’t need it. I’ve been eating evening snacks (mostly high calorie) for 50+ years now – Why wouldn’t my body feel hungry right on cue every night no matter how satisfying dinner was. I just have to totally ignore the fake hunger and break the habit.
05/21 – 168.2 – Appears I’m back to the sinus infection (?). Feeling a little light headed and draggy.
05/22 – 167.2 – Good rest last night and feeling much better. Rainy here again so off to do some plant shopping. That should be good for some steps.

Female 63 5'3" - New Zealand
Goal 60kg
Starting weight Day 7 Round 111 - 66.3kg
Ending weight Round 113– 63.4kg

Goal weight for the end of this round - 62.9kg

Day/Weight/Comment
05/17 - 63.4kg, no change from the last 2 days; it's expected that things would slow down a bit at this point.
05/18 - 63.1kg, nice to see this drop, it's getting harder to keep up with the 16,000 steps a day
05/19 - 62.9kg, already to goal, so I'm expecting a holding pattern here for a few days.
05/20 - 63.0kg, a small bounce which is very appropriate at this stage, still early in this round and I'm on track.
05/21 - 62.7kg, great! Yesterday was a fluke which happens now and then. Sticking to the plan which works :-)
05/22 - 62.8kg, a small bounce up, small is okay; our scale seems to be pretty accurate.
05/23 - 62.6kg, 1st time in over 35 days I didn't do 16,000 steps yesterday, only 15,200, busy with cake making.

🌻🥀🌹🌷🌹🥀🌼🥀🌻🌹🌷🌹🥀🌻

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.

May: 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:

2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ So far, so good.
That's a WIN in my book!

2020
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.

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

@tiabirdie56 LOL on the new avatar pic (is that what it is called?) You started my day off with a chuckle!

Lol. My son has that on his phone. It's actually a GIF that flashes like a neon sign and underneath, it says, no refunds or exchanges. I fell out laughing when I saw it, because at Easter, I said the holiday is cancelled. Then as the shutdowns rolled out across the country, I started saying to him everything is cancelled. The FUNNY amidst the chaotic confusion. SMH.
I'm glad you found some humor in it too.😁

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 114 (round 46 for me ) I'm in for another round – just keep going! As always; thank you @GrandmaJackie, such a champion particularly in these challenging times, helping to keep some stability in our lives, for setting up these challenges.

Female age 62 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 – stay below 133 pounds.... - aim to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, really want to keep this 10 days binge free! Keep calm, wash hands, be kind and follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus.

Goal: lose 1 lb and keep it off. Eat more fiber : 1,300 calories, 40 Carbs, 35 Net Carbs and 10,000 steps a day but it’s ok to take a break.

5/17 155.0 lbs -1.0 lbs 1,727 way over by 427 Calories, 31 Carbs, 13 Net Carbs, No Exercise today. Sat and watched it Rain & Rain, and I ate & ate! We now have ponds in our corn and bean fields. Will have to replant. Eating more fiber is working but I’m sure my weight will go up tomorrow.

5/18 155.2 +0.2. 1,235 Calories, 29 Carbs, 15 Net Carbs and 11,599 steps. Took 3 different walks today and my husband has been walking with me in the evening.

5/19 154.6 lbs. -0.6 1,261 Calories, 34 Carbs, 19 Net Carbs and 9,941 steps

5/20 155.6 +1.0 up & down! 1,525 Calories, 54 Carbs, 29 Net Carbs, and 9,459 steps. Hope the sun shines tomorrow!

5/21 155.4 -0.2 1,289 Calories, 45 Carbs, 38 Net Carbs, and 7,921 steps. Still no sun shine, maybe tomorrow!

5/22 154.6 lbs. 1,726 Calories, 81 Carbs, 50 Net Carbs, 12,243 steps. Walked and did a lot of yard work. I definitely over ate, everything over my goal. 😕

Day/Weight/Comment

5/17 - 183
Salt. Popcorn. Cheese and crackers. I don’t know why. Stress? Gotta stop and this is the round. Yesterday we planted our UU Sacred Grounds native pollinator gardens and I was interviewed on camera about the fundraising. Who was that fat woman ? Egad! I guess that’s the wake up call to stop going easy on myself. Please kick my butt if I try to make excuses. My (over)weight has been pretty constant for 3 months now, so if I cut back on calories and get with my old walking program, I should have an encouraging loss this round. Maybe I won’t feel so down then either. Thanks for all the hugs, but I think what I need now is a kick in the butt.

5/18 - 182.6
Yesterday was good and I felt more in control even with all-day rain. It’s still been pouring all morning, but should clear up this afternoon. I’m thinking of going to a nursery — shouldn’t be too many people in the rain! But I have to finish launching my new venture (teaching creative writing classes online), so maybe by the time I finish the rain will cut back to drizzle. DH wants chicken pot pie for dinner, so I had a light breakfast and will have salad for lunch. My plan is no no-no’s but work-arounds for the higher calories meals. Things are stressful and restricted enough at the moment without adding to the pressure. And I have a garden bed to enlarge and want to put in a new herb garden, so there’s some calorie burn if the ground isn’t too wet. I hope everyone is well and staying safe.

5/19 - 182.2
Another wet morning, but I’m off to brave the grocery store if I can get Mike the cat off my lap. I think he’s telling me about his morning chat with his new friend. 🐰

5/20 - 182.4
Ugh — we had leftover chicken pot pie last night and I ate too much. Calories weren’t bad but I still feel stuffed. Plan for today is much lighter, and it’s stopped raining so I’m off to play in the dirt. Had breakfast with a diverse group of friends — DH, Mike the cat, the bunny rabbit, robins, sparrows, red-winged blackbirds, starlings, finches (house and gold), and a chipmunk that peeked in the sliding door at us. 🐰🌷🥣🥗🥑🍊🌸🐿

5/21 - 181.4
Finally, a little movement and no rain. Going out to work in the garden. Yay!

5/22 - 182.8
What? Definitely water. Calories on target yesterday and plenty of exercise between a 60-min walk and gardening. Weird.

5/23 - 183.4
Don’t understand this at all. Calories below maintenance and I got plenty of exercise. I do feel a little puffy and my rings are tight, so I suppose water, though I don’t know why. Sigh. I suppose one of these morning I’ll see an astonishing drop. On the plus side, I spent considerable time playing in the dirt yesterday, which felt great.

Round 100 SW 245
Round 112 SW 242 (4/27/20)
Round 113 SW 238.6
Round 114 SW 235.2 Goal 232

Goals: walk at least 20 minutes every day and a total of 1 million steps between May 18 and July 31, log food and stay under calorie target, take my meds every day on schedule, and drink my water. With those goals, my target weight for this cycle is 232.

05/17 Not gonna lie, yesterday (last day of round 113) I indulged myself in old habits of overeating. It was ugly. It as a not-at-all-subtle reminder to me why this FatBoy cannot take cheat days too often - it's like giving a frat boy keys to a Ferrari and expecting him to drive the speed limit. Anyway, today was a new day, new round, new resolve! Hopefully I won't be paying for yesterday for too long,but it is what I made it. Today's morning weight: 235.2, blood sugar 82; today's walk: 60 minutes, 3 miles; log food: yes, under goal calories by 300; empty calories: still too many; meds: yes; water: 8 and counting. Have a great week, all! Be safe, be smart.

05/18 Weight: 234.6. Goals met. 300 calories to spare. Will post walking totals in the morning.

05/19 Weight 234.4, yesterday's steps 16,374. Will try to get my steps in again despite the rainy weather. Walking around in circles in the conference room makes me feel silly, but at least it keeps me from feeling wet.

05/20 Weight 234.4, yesterday's steps 14,247 (total 30,621 of 1 million.) Yesterday's goals met, 200 calories under.

05/21 Weight 233.4 (woot!) yesterday's steps 19,011 (total 49,032/1 million.) Yesterday's goals met, 300 calories under.

05/22 Weight 232.8,steps 17,775 total 67,407. Yesterday's food goal not met, logged but overshot by nearly 300 calories, mostly snacking.

Have a great, safe, smart weekend all.

05/23 Weight 233.2, steps 17,601 total 85,008. Yesterday's goals met, calories just below targets. I had a sneaking thought that yesterday's good weight was a scale error. Either way, I am content with today's weight.

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.

Ultimate goal weight: 150

5/21: 269.4 ~ Evening weigh in, in an effort to just start doing the things I want to do, rather than continuously procrastinate on everything!

5/22: 267.4 ~ It is always fun to see the scale drop 2 pounds overnight, even though I know it’s just because I weighed myself at 11pm, hehe.

5/23: 268.0 ~ I had a beer last night. It fit my calories, but I am not surprised by some water retention. I almost never drink.

@quiltingjaine Vertigo's the worst, I hope it has eased! My wife has that issue as well. How is your back? I hope you are feeling better!

Freaking finally! I was getting super frustrated. Even when I know it’s because of where I am in my cycle it’s still really irritating when my weight just won’t budge.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/17 120.6 Today was good, we did some yard work and ate well. Although, I definitely didn’t feel completely satisfied with my food, so I definitely want to work on that tomorrow. It tasted decent but I didn’t feel super full from it. I had lentils, beets, and a cheese plate type thing for breakfast/lunch. It was a strange combination of foods but it tasted good. Then for dinner I had a bean based pasta along with spaghetti squash, meatballs, and sauce with a sprinkle of romano cheese on top. It just kind of fell flat leaving me wanting more of something. I’m hoping tomorrow will be better in that regard!

05/18 119.4 I’m starting to wonder if my scale is right because I’ve had some really good drops over the past few days. I see the difference in my belly area, but it just seems crazy because I haven’t seen that number in years. I hope I can keep it off! This morning I went for a 6 mile walk and then did some push-ups and lunges in our yard. I’m hoping to get some jump roping in later today for some cardio because the walking doesn’t raise my heart rate that much. Not sure what’s on the agenda today for food but I’m thinking about some sort of toast and peanut butter for my first meal. I hope everyone had a good weekend!

05/19 121.0 I’m pretty sure my scale got moved in the bathroom and it’s on a level surface finally. I’m now at a weight that makes more sense because that was a big drop over the course of three days for me. I’m cool with it because I have been making really good decisions food and activity wise. I took a 6 mile walk this morning and have plans to jump rope again today. I love the cardio workout I get from jump roping and it’s safer/easier than running around the neighborhood with the whole mask situation. Plus, I get to brush up on my jump roping skills. I also ordered a weighted rope to turn up the workout a notch. That arrives at the end of the week and I’m very excited for it!
It sounds really weird but I’m so excited for my breakfast/lunch today because I have been craving cottage cheese for some reason and we were finally able to get some last night in a food delivery. So, I’m looking forward to the cottage cheese topped with pineapple and frozen wild blueberries. Tonight we are having American Chop Suey left overs and I’m pumped I have a night where I’m not creating dishes to clean after dinner.
One last ramble… My husband just went to get a contactless pick up order from Total Wine, so we will have some beverages to enjoy this weekend. I don’t think I’ve had anything to drink since March, so this will be fun. 😊

05/20 121.0 Went for another awesome walk this morning. My husband joined me for 3ish miles of it and then I continued another 3 miles on my own. Skipping the jump rope today to give my body a break. I might work in some push ups in a bit though. Food was good yesterday and so far so go today. I plan on making a turkey breast in the pressure cooker tonight for dinner. On our walk, we walked by turkeys which made my husband crave turkey. LOL! Luckily I happen to have turkey in the freezer and we have some potatoes, carrot and parsnips to use too! So, it’ll be perfect! I even have a rogue box of turkey gravy to add to the pot for added flavor. Have a good day everyone!

05/21 121.0 Another great walk this morning! It’s going to be so nice out today and I am so so so excited! My food should be solid again today, plan on having more cottage cheese with fruit and some whole grain pretzels for my first meal and something healthy for a snack later in the day and then we are air frying chicken wings tonight with some fries and I want salad too with it! The turkey came out good that I made last night, so that was a win! It was so cool to get a boneless turkey breast in my meat CSA, because it was so easy to cook and the perfect amount for the two of us. It was about a 1lbish when I weighed it in the packaging. There’s just enough turkey and veggies left over for my husband to have some leftovers for lunch.

05/22 120.2 [Written on 5/23] I had too much fun on Thursday night drinking wine (for the first time in 4 or more months) so Friday wasn’t the greatest food wise. (The night was worth it though, we had fun drinking wine and watching a comedy special) I woke up and wanted all the greasy food and I indulged because it’s been a while. I’m still pretty sure I ended up eating within the number of calories I burn in a day but the salt definitely made me retain water.

05/23 121.2 Back to wanting to eat healthy again after a day of not posting here. Drinking always has a way of making me want to eat like crap the next day and not care that much about it. I did notice the feeling from it last night though, because I felt bloated and ick by the end of last night. I started my day today with a short walk and made a smoothie for my first meal. The weather is finally a little warmer, so I don’t freeze while drinking the smoothie. For lunch I have a salad with lentils, goat cheese, and some other veggies planned. Not sure what’s on the agenda for dinner but I’m thinking something light.

I also had a non-scale victory today with a compliment from my husband, he told me “my legs look less jiggly.” I know other people may take that differently, but he meant it in a really good/nice way 😊.

Round 114 - May 17 to 26
Female, 5’, 67 years. SW – 167.8 GW – 167 or lower, UGW – 140.
Goals: continue with 12 hr. IF, 5-6 glasses of water a day, complete my tracking every day and get some kind of outdoor exercise unless it is raining – in which case indoors. Well, .5 down from last round so I guess that is better than up. Beginning of June we want to have the house ready for realtor assessment – so my goal is to keep at it without caving in to stress eating. Just have to keep focussed on how great it will be to be done.
Day/Weight/Comment
05/17 – 167.8
05/18 – 167.8 – Relaxing rainy day yesterday but too many evening snacks. Off and on rain again today but have indoor packing plans so no matter what should feel I’ve accomplished something.
05/19 – 168 – First boxes completely packed and DH has sent an email off to a realtor in new location. The house we are most interested in has been on the market for about a year so we’re getting a little nervous that it will disappear. So excited – let’s see if I can put that energy into getting things done while keeping the eating in check.
05/20 – 167.4 – Lots of outside work moving perennials, not so great on food – had dark chocolate ice cream when I came inside in the evening. Read an interesting comment by a fitness coach to the effect that we eat relatively the same foods at the same times so our body expects that. When we change things our body still demands what we’ve been giving it even if it doesn’t need it. I’ve been eating evening snacks (mostly high calorie) for 50+ years now – Why wouldn’t my body feel hungry right on cue every night no matter how satisfying dinner was. I just have to totally ignore the fake hunger and break the habit.
05/21 – 168.2 – Appears I’m back to the sinus infection (?). Feeling a little light headed and draggy.
05/22 – 167.2 – Good rest last night and feeling much better. Rainy here again so off to do some plant shopping. That should be good for some steps.
05/23 – 167.4 – Got in lots of steps shopping and the essentials in the plant department but boy were they low! The large nursery had about ¼ of a greenhouse with annuals instead of the usual 4 fairly full ones at this time of year. I did get a couple of large hanging baskets which was highest on my list for showing the house. Nice talk with the nursery owner – I’m hoping that all the newbies who decided to garden this year will not get discouraged. Your first year isn’t usually your most successful but sometimes you get lucky. It’s definitely my favorite exercise. Food was not great but not too bad – gave up on groc. shopping in an unfamiliar store with directional arrows and uptight people, so no unhealthy snacks.

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.
