I've had guests for two days so eating was all over the place. Happy that the scales didn't register a higher number this morning. No excuses now till the end of this round.

Food was on track. Did lots of exercise and my muscles are sore so hoping this blip is water retention. Going to drink plenty of water today to help.

07/16 - 136.3
07/17 - 135.7
07/18 - 135.2 | Losing weight much quicker than I expected, maybe being too strict on calories? Feeling super tired pretty much all the time, but I also have a newborn child, so I was previously just chalking it up to that.
07/19 - 134.7 | Even consumed a decent number of calories yesterday, still came down more than expected. Also not drinking a ton of water, so that might be part of it.
07/20 - 136.2 | Yeah, I think the lack of water the last few days was a mirage. Gonna get back on track!

Round 120
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
07/16: 212.4 / Starting this round at my average for last round. NSV: yesterday I actually reached my hand out to pick up a 2nd donut at work, and then pulled it back. Thought about how it might affect my 10-day challenge. Wish I could be that way all the time. Does anyone else feel obligated to take a donut or cookie that someone else brings in to share at work? I do not want to hurt their feelings or put-down their act of kindness. I think I am actually wrong about this.
07/17: 212.0
07/18: 211.8 / I will happily take this, since I did not weigh until mid day after fishing all morning. Left the house at 3:45 am. Drank a lot of water. Tomorrow will be higher. I may need a nap. 😊
07/19: 213.8
07/20: 215 / Another weekend with DW family as house guests. Throw a family reunion in there for good measure. I made awesome Kabobs yesterday (So I am told.) Sous Vide the steak and finished it on the grill with the veggies. Another festival of salt these past two days.

IF: 16:8
07/16: 173.2
07/17: 174.4 If my goal was to gradually gain everyday, I'd be on target. Not being able to track food/exercise due to visitation and funeral the last couple days makes the difference. Back to normal today, if normal is even a thing anymore.
07/18: 173.6 Heading back to the gym after a week off. Glad I kept walking outside, but expect a slight increase in water retention for swole tomorrow if I Iift late in the day. Still right for the long run--no pun intended!
07/19: 172.8 Good sore today. Donating blood at noon. Sleevin' Up!
07/20: 170.8 It's true--"a pint IS a pound the world around!" Ate extra of things I normally wouldn't to build back my blood. (Within my MFP calorie limit of course) Really enjoyed a serving of red-skinned potatoes topped with steamed broccoli and an extra serving of the hub's chicken from the smoker. Walked prior to donation and only a short walk in the evening. @quiltingjaine wish I could share some iron with you, turns out mine is above average. Interestingly enough, I do take 400mg of magnesium a few times a week.

@quiltingjaine - Loved your progression pics. You look so strong and healthy!
@fmfdfa2020 - You inspired me. I am going to try and work up to 10 push ups.
@cpanus - how's your ankle coming along? I don't know if it will help but my 81 y.o. mother gets vertigo so instead of standing, she exercises in her bed and in her chair and really keeps strong. Googled for tips and techniques!
Welcome @farmspiders Please share how you picked your "handle"! I grew up on the farm and saw my share of spiders, so I am super curious!!
@Calimackey You can certainly gain water weight by exercising, especially if you exert to the point your muscles are sore. Good job! Don't sacrifice the progress you are feeling by agonizing the a few ounces on the scale--you are setting yourself up for a "whoosh"! Gosh, I love those!4 -

07/16: 170.8; Had a rough workout yesterday that left me terribly over heated and dehydrated. Though my weight stayed low, I still don't think it's a true reflection of where I am. I'm guessing 171.8 or so...
07/17: 171.2; Weight is starting to level out now that I'm hydrated. Glad the bump up was so small.
07/18: DNW
07/19: 171.8; Poor eating yesterday
07/20: 171.0 Don't think I'm gonna hit my 169.x goal this round, but at least I'm pretty much the same.

End of round 117: 228.6
End of round 118: 227.6
End of round 119: 224.6
An early victory to start the round: I woke up early this morning and decided to go for a walk to jump start my exercise for the day. 2.33 miles, 284 active calories burned.
7/16: 223.6 Finally some weight dropping off in the last few days, after several days of up and down but overall staying about the same.
7/17: 224.4 I was within my calories yesterday, but most of them were near the end of the day. And I had dropped a lot in the last few days, so it’s not surprising that it’s up a bit as that whoosh balances out. I also like days like today where my scale weight is right on the trend line - feels like it’s finally showing my “true” current weight through all the normal fluctuations.
7/18: 223.6 Back to the low from two days ago and smoothing out yesterday’s bump.
7/19: 223.6 Seems to be the number of this round.
7/20: 223.8 Yesterday was one of those days where I ate within my calories, but completely unhealthy: my two main meals were a fast food burger and pizza. (Stayed within calorie limits by ordering the junior burger and only having two slices of pizza.) Also didn’t move as much as usual because my dad and I got started on a board game that takes a while; we’ll be playing more today but I plan to get up once an hour and at least walk around a bit.

I’m sitting in my garden and just had a close encounter with a ruby-throated hummingbird who hovered about 2 feet from my face for a few seconds. Several gold-finches are flitting around the Black-eyed Susans, coneflowers, and sunflowers, and sparrows are picking up nesting material (aka weeds and grass) I pulled out of the beds and tossed on the lawn. And no lawn mowers! Just birdsong and cicadas. Off for a walk now, and I have today’s menus all planned. Have a lovely Friday, all.
7/18 - 181.4
Snacked a little last night — popcorn — but I’m keeping calories under control. I’m itching to dig new beds in the garden but we’re under a heat advisory the next couple of days so maybe not. I’ll get an early walk in, though. Yay, Saturday!

Muggy Sunday! At least there’s a breeze. My garden seems pretty happy! Be well, everyone.

Ok, back on track. It’s a gorgeous day here, so I’m off for a walk, the working on taking out lawn on the side of the house. Planning to fill it up with mostly natives plus some colorful annuals (sunflowers, zinnias....). The less lawn, the better— that’s my motto! 🌻🌸🌱

About me:I love learning about food and everything about it; from the way it acts in the body to learning to cook a new recipe. I went to school for nutrition (got my bachelor's) but I didn’t become an RD because it didn’t feel like the path for me. I guess I wanted to keep it as more of an interest instead of a career. I then went into public health to further my education and I currently help medically complex patients by connecting them with community resources to improve their health and life. I enjoy helping family and friends when they ask for advice related to food and nutrition. Plus, it helps me brush up on what I spent so much time learning!Previous days’ entries
I’m here because when I’m not paying attention to what I eat, I start to gain and feel uncomfortable in my body. For me that results in frustration and a lot of other emotions. It has also increased my cholesterol in the past (It’s good now as far as I know thanks to diet and exercise). I have a family history of diabetes, heart disease, and all that fun stuff. So, I want to prevent that for myself by getting a hold of my food habits now.
I’m always open to conversation about food and nutrition, so feel free to reach out to me!07/16 116.8 We went for an awesome walk this morning clocking in at 6.52 miles. It was a pretty one too, up the small hill/mountain we have in my city and back home. I just ordered a flat of 12 pints of blueberries for next week in addition to our CSA. I think I’m going to take a couple days off from work to make a bunch of different goodies with them 😊. I need some me time and I think that will be perfect! Dinner tonight will be leftover pesto pasta and chicken with some leftover roasted veggies because they really need to get eaten.
07/17 116.2 It’s raining this morning, so we went for a 3 mile run in the neighborhood instead of a soccer workout at the fields. Then, I continued after my father in law headed home and did another 3 miles of walking and spurts of running when I got chilly. For breakfast today I plan on making some oatmeal with fresh blueberries, peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut cashews, cinnamon, and a dollop of Skyrr. I love that it’s a little cooler because it will be the perfect day to enjoy a hot bowl of oatmeal! I plan on making pork chops with BBQ sauce with a massive salad for dinner tonight. Still trying to figure out what I want for a snack/lunch in between the two of them. Happy Friday!
07/18 116.2 Early morning post for me. I’m just relaxing while the house is nice and quiet. I plan on doing a body weight workout and then jump on the spin bike for a bit today. I’m not really sure what I have planned for food today except that I know eating a cucumber feta salad will be in my future because I have a couple cukes to eat before we pick up our csa on Monday. I also have beets and summer squash to cook/ do something with. I have a beet and blueberry muffin recipe that I’m tempted to try from the Run Fast Cook Fast Eat Slow cookbook. I also kind of want to try and make refrigerator pickles with the squash and one of the cucumbers.
Last night we end up making Pho for dinner because we had some instant mixes back from when I had the flu in February. I added the pork cut into slices, bok choi, onion, and summer squash (My husband wasn’t a fan of the squash). It came out pretty good and it was a nice quick dinner that didn’t break the calorie bank. I didn’t bother tracking it because the two mixes together totaled 500 calories, so I knew I would be okay with us splitting that and the addition of pork weighed less than I had originally expected. I was satisfied hunger wise for the rest of the night and my husband ended up munching on some cashews and a spoonful of peanut butter while we were watching the Rev’s soccer game around 8ish.
07/19 116.2 Yesterday was an awesome day. I had a non scale victory of being able to do 7 chin ups in a row during my body weight workout. That makes me feel good because I know I’m still gaining muscle while losing weight. That has been one of my goals because I want to have a good amount of muscle so I don’t end up being skinny fat (which isn’t healthy either). I also have sore legs from said body weight and spin bike workout.
Food wise, I had fun making whole wheat blueberry muffins with the wild blueberries we picked last week. I also made some more granola and refrigerator pickles using CSA zucchini and onion. Breakfast was a blueberry beet smoothie from the cookbook Run Fast Eat Slow (Shalene Flannagan and Elyse Kopecky’s first cookbook) along with a cucumber salad with 2 oz. of feta. Snacks were a blueberry muffin, yogurt with blueberries and honey granola. Dinner was basil fried rice made by my husband. It had ground chicken, Jasmine brown rice, onion, frozen stir fry veggies and a concoction of soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce and one more sauce, I think. Then I had a large apple for dessert. The stir fry was so good! Plus, I love when he cooks dinner 😊.
Tonight’s dinner will be burgers made with our CSA ground beef which is super lean. I think I read on their website the beef is about 95% lean. We have to use up some Kaiser rolls in the fridge and I was thinking about caramelizing some onions too. I’ll grill up what’s left of the summer squashes from our CSA for a side. If any greens are left well have some salad too.
07/20 116.8 Just floating in the 116 range for a bit, but I’ll take it 😊. I think I’ve been eating a lot closer to maintenance, but I’m cool with it. I went for a 6ish mile walk this morning. Yesterday was a good day filled with organizing our space and clearing out some stuff. It’s CSA pick up today and looking forward to seeing what we get! Hopefully, it’s a little more lettuce and less funky greens this week. A girl can only eat so many greens that she’s not too fond of to begin with. I love kale, spinach, lettuce, arugula and the Tokyo Bekana (new to me last week), but the more mustardy greens are too strong for me and I just force myself to eat them.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/16 - 168.0⬆️:|*1378 cals* Sticking with my plan. Yesterday...stress and skipped my cardio I only lifted
weights. I will make up the cardio as it was optional today!
07/17- 168.2⬇️:/*1574 cals* Weight seems to be fluctuating through day. I was lazy with cardio and diet.
although I won't complain because I haven't skipped a day of working out yet!
07/18- 167.8⬇️:|*1677 cals* I guess I'm struggling with my calories today although I did complete a
short 30 minute walk on treadmill. Gonna exercise tonight and try and do better
with diet!
07/19 -167.8⬇️: *1324 cals* I would like to be more consistent and weigh myself in the morning. I will workout this evening and try and be strict with my calories today. I am glad that at least I didn't gain
07/20 -168.2⬆️
Morning weigh-in, last night more cardio and lifting stuck to diet. I will try and stick to diet and exercise today. Hoping it is water weight or added muscle and burned fat?

@musicsax , @UTMom81 , and @Tesha231 Thank you! I hesitated to post the picture but decided to because I have found what works for me. Yes, I react poorly to carbs so I avoid them most of the time and that has led to better labs and feeling great which I honestly don’t remember EVER before. Now if this COVID would end!
If what you’re doing isn’t working, try something different!
@Tesha231 I know the anemia is temporary due to the blood donation but if I had known it takes 2-3 MONTHS instead of WEEKS to “bounce back” at this age I would have eaten more red meat to go for a more enjoyable way of getting iron! I would be quite happy to live on burgers (no bun) and steaks!! 😁4 -

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.

7/16 116.0 Last month we donated blood and subsequently learned we are slightly anemic. 2 weeks ago the doctor told me to start taking 1 iron tablet a day and to increase my magnesium. Well, there is a battle royals waging in my belly for the last several days and I’m afraid to leave the house - if you get my drift! Today I’m planning on taking nothing but my BP meds and fasting until 4 at least - that’ll be a 24 hour fast. Only black coffee and water.
7/17 116.0 Three year keto-versary! This WOE has improved my labs each time they have been checked. My blood pressure is down and I’m 51 pounds lighter than I was. Unfortunately, due to COVID I’m not comfortable at the gym where people still don’t wipe down the equipment and cancelled my paid membership yesterday. I can still go as part of my insurance plan but not use the extras.
7/18 115.5 Yesterday must have been steak day! I see several of us on this thread had steak. We split a T-bone. Back in the day I would have eaten the whole thing by myself-it was just over a pound including the bone. I had a few Brussels sprouts and about a cup of broccoli - OMAD! And we ate “dinner” early - before 3.
7/19 117.0 We ate at Great Greek yesterday. Delicious temporary weight gain! I always go up after Greek salad and gyro meat. And today we have plans for lunch with neighbors - Chinese take out - haven’t had Chinese in MONTHS! 91 degrees with 10% humidity at 8 AM, going for a high of 112 today.
7/20 118.5 Neighbor treated us to take out Chinese. Need I say more? This too shall pass. No worries.7 -

Round 120 - Started MFP and 10-Day Challenge 12/27/19 - 186.0 (Heaviest weight ever!)
I am so determined this round.
I want to hit my first goal (173.2) this round and then move from there to finally get back to the 160's over the next 2 rounds!
- Row and/or free weights 8 of 10 days ✔✔✔✔
- (8) 8oz water per day ✔✔✔
- 4 to 5 vegies/fruit each day ✔✔
- No sugar ✔✔✔✔
- No Bingeing ✔✔✔✔
- IF 6 out of 10 days ✔✔✔
- New Challenge - Pushups. Today I could literally do only 1 pushup barely and this was with my knees down. Do them every day and hopefully be able to do 10 soon. My husband suggested maybe doing some bench presses too. ✔✔✔✔
- 1/2 tsp of added salt ✔✔✔✔
Round 120 Start Weight: 174.4
07/16 - 174.4
07/17 - 174.2 Sore from my one pushup and many tries from yesterday LOL. I could do 3 today going only halfway down. I thought my arms were stronger from rowing but either I didn't know how weak I was or different muscles.
07/18 - 173.9 Hit 173s YAY. May take a few days to stay there. I think I'm holding less water weight due to eating less salt?? Also drank more water yesterday - finally!
07/19 - 174.0
07/20 - 173.8 Just maybe I'm in the 173s now to never see 174 or above again! EVER! Bring it on - I am so ready for this. Rip the damn bandaid off! I've learned slow and steady works and to have realistic expectations and to do it the healthy way. However, when I say "rip the bandaid off," for me that's not radical at all considering I've lost 12 pounds in 7 months. I think I have room to go a little harder, or really just to work harder at being consistent. It's all about the bingeing - pure and simple! Doing well at the moment with no sugar and with my bingeing - knock on wood!

30 something female, 5'2".
Been trying to lose weight for years, but something finally clicked in late February, beginning of March this year (also thanks to the lockdown).
I do rock climbing, both in the gym and outdoor, which has improved my strength and muscle.
Starting weight (February 2020) 57 kg = 126 lb
Current weight (July 2020) 52 kg = 115 lb
Goal 50 kg = 110 lb
52 kg was my first goal since it is a weight that I maintained for some time and I feel confident in it, so I am really happy to have reached it. However, I'm still going forward, since I've been lighter and I know I look a lot better around 50 kg (my lightest was 48 kg = 106 lb)
Day/Weight/Comment
07/16 - 51,8 Kg - This is a huge surprise, since I have been struggling for a couple of weeks with my weight not going down, and the last few days I have not been very strict, so I was not expecting to drop under 52 kg. I expect that it will go up in the next days though since it always goes a bit up and down.
07/17
07/18
07/19
07/20 - 51,7 Kg - Another huge surprise. I didn't weight for days because these last days have been really busy and full of events. For most of these days, I have been eating out, with friends and family, and usually quite big meals, at least for one meal per day. For this reason, I was expecting a rise in my weight, although I tried to compensate by eating very little in all my other meals (when I was at home and could control it). I also did sport and burned some. Yet, since I couldn't track regularly I had no idea exactly how much I ate, and I thought I definitely was over my goal. It is quite strange how my weight has been the same for weeks in which I was under my goal, and then dropped (even if only a bit), during these more indulgent days.

07/17 161.6 Nice walk today. 11,938 steps
07/18 162.2 I expected a little rise in weight since we had really salty Indian food last night. I'll drink a lot of water today and go for another long walk.
07/19 162.2 I cleaned outside windows. Holy moly that's tough. Then we watched Saving Mr. Banks, so we needed to have English tea. You know - with cream and sugar.
07/20 163.2 Workout at 12:30 and cleaning. I don't know what's left to clean, but I'll find something. Then I need to meal prep because I don't trust myself any more.

07/16 - 57.7kg, <7,000 steps yesterday (shocking), will do better today, calories were good :-)
07/17 - 57.3kg, surprising since yesterday was the 1st in 90 days that I overate, too much food, too little exercise
07/18 - 57.1kg, all good in the hood!
07/19 - 57.4kg, the body seems to love being in the 57-58kg range, >13,000 steps yesterday, good clean eating
07/20 - 57.6kg, oh no! Going the wrong way, sodium was high yesterday so many it's water. >13,000 steps yesterday
07/21 - 57.4kg, no walking yesterday, just gardening, less salt, happy to hang at this weight for now

I’m a little bit late but I would love to join the group. I try to lose 30 lbs but since April the scale is not moving to much. How it’s working with this challenge, do we only post the results or we also chat and leave comments to each other?5
-
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.
July: focus is on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:
Never give up! Never give in!- 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 by keeping busy
Back Story:2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅JGM10D ~|~ Round 120
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.🔹Posting weight and comments each evening.

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.

We post results, and comment if we wish to.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/16 - 327.8
07/17 - 329.7 - doing alt. day intermittent fasting means I'll have an uptick in weight every other day. I expect it and am prepared. I'm so prepared that if I lose too much too quickly, I'll change from a 4:3 to a 5:2 fasting pattern. But so far, so very good.
07/18 - 326.8 - As expected, down a pound from 2 days ago. Since July 6th, down almost 14 lbs. Alt. day IF really has kickstarted my losses after being stuck on a plateau for almost 7 weeks.
07/19 - 329.3 - Right where I expected to be. With 4:3 fasting, my weight should be slightly up after the weekend, then back down after the fasting days. Instead of measuring on a day-to-day basis, a better measure for me will be on a week-to-week basis.
07/20 - 329.9 - And another slight uptick after 2 days of eating. Not a problem, since last Monday I weighed in at 332.5. As long as I keep my weight around the 2 lb. loss per week mark, I'm happy.

@Katterin227 Board games with Dad? Priceless! I would gladly trade a few ounces for one more game with my daddy. Always play the game--but don't let him win! lol
Definitely! We finished the game today and he did not win. 😉 Quality time!
