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?
05/23 …..204.5 ….. I didn’t get my food logged/closed out or my exercise closed out in time for it to post on the main board but I stayed within calories and did hundreds of extra calories in “chores”. Overall, a pretty successful day. Today, so far, is going very well. I need to increase the water so I am going to fill a water bottle now. I hope everyone is enjoying a safe and fun weekend.

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.
05/24 - 62.6kg, good place to be stuck, had to have only birthday cake for lunch yesterday, but otherwise on track

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 ✅2020
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!
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.

@quiltingjaine Sorry about the vertigo. I hope it eases.
I think most people are having difficulty staying on track, and are stressed out. Not surprising, as we have had nothing to prepare us for the radical change in circumstances.
Just cut yourself some slack, hang in there, take care, and stay safe!!!

Started MFP 12/27/19: [/b] 186.0 (Heaviest weight ever)
12/27/19 to end of Round 113: -10.6 pounds
I have two goals right now and not thinking any further than these two: 1) Get back to my lowest weight on MFP from 3/8, 173.2; and 2) Hit the elusive 160s.
Round 114 Goals: Keep doing what I did well last round (calories, exercise, IF) and improve on what I didn't do well (water, vegies/fruit). Keep in mind that daily ups and downs on the scale are perfectly normal.

05/17 - 175.4

05/19 - 175.3
05/20 - 175.1 I'm getting up around 6a every morning and rowing. If I exercise in the morning, it makes me want to stay on track with everything else the rest of the day. Also, any other exercise I do the rest of the day is because I want to not because I have to, which is nice.
05/21 - 174.9 I'm happy to see 174s again. I'll take this for today but I'll bump up again before going back down.

05/17 185.2 nice to start with a loss! Was very on track yesterday, within calories, decent exercise. Now to keep keeping on!
05/18 185.2 was hoping for a little more, but I’ll take it. Exercised and ate well yesterday, very slightly above target but all nutritious.
05/19 185.8
05/20 186.2
05/21 186.0 Bobbing around a new set point I guess. Hopefully I’ll keep moving this lower during this round.
05/22 184.4 This is not something I expect to keep. Happy Scale still has my average well above 185. Boat-camping for the weekend, so I won’t be able to weigh again for 3 days. I expect I will be up again at that point. But it was nice to officially dip below my goal for a day!

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.End of round 69 134.2 lbsKeep calm – we're all in this together!

Day/Weight/Comment
05/ 17 133.8 – 9.76 miles walked yesterday. I guess that's the extra sodium in the mussels we had for lunch, 270 calories in credit, 4 carbs over.
05/18 133.8 – 8.74 miles walked yesterday. 271 calories in credit, all macros in green.
05/19 133.8 – 8.34 miles walked yesterday. 517 calories in credit, all macros in green. Had my first meet up with a friend in the park for exercise and then a picnic (all at social distancing! & allowed now) since the lock down, it was such a lovely few hours, so refreshing!
05/20 135 – 10.28 miles walked yesterday. Such a bad day food wise, not even disclosing how many calories or other macros over - ughh!! why do I do it? New day today; need to get a wriggle on!!
05/21 134.4 – 10.72 miles walked yesterday. A much better day & I feel better for it; 284 calories in credit, fat 10 over, all other macros in green.
05/22 133.6 - 10.25 miles walked yesterday. 436 calories in credit, all macros in green.
05/23 133.6 – 9.79 miles walked yesterday, over on all macros yesterday
. Must be strong today so the scale doesn't go up!
05/24 135.8 – 2.74 miles walked yesterday. This is what happens when I don't get my walking miles in – started out yesterday, but the wind was just too strong, it was dangerous to be under trees and at times struggling to walk against the wind, so I abandoned and turned round for home!! It's calmer today, hurray !!

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 I had too much fun on Thursday night drinking wine so Friday wasn’t the greatest food wise. 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 amount 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 😊.
05/24 120.2 Back to normal again 😊. I had another non scale victory today when I tried on a pair of shorts that I’ve had for a while and weren’t the most flattering last year (so I didn’t wear them.) and now if I lose another inch from my hips they will be perfect. I’d be comfortable wearing them now but they’d still feel a hair snug. My food went well yesterday and today I’m looking forward to dinner. We’re having croc potted chicken thighs in a masala simmer sauce. We’ll have brown rice, onions, and oyster mushrooms with it. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
