Day/Weight/Comment

07/16 145.4 lbs 1,872 Calories 45 Carbs, 26 Net Carbs and No Exercise today. Just one of those days with no motivation. Made a Keto dessert but I ate to much of it. I will try to get back on track tomorrow.

07/17 146.0 lbs. ⬆️ I have to get my eating under Control again. One thing I don’t talk about much. But in the past I was/ am a binge eater!! It’s a bad habit I have and it still shows up just when I think I have it under control. One good thing is that I’m eating health food not just Junk!! 1,112 Calories, 65 Carbs, 44 Net Carbs , 5,887 steps and 30 minutes aerobics! Carbs are high but I had Green Beans from the garden and they were worth the Carbs.
07/18 145 lbs ⬇️ 1,411 Calories, 41 Carbs, 33 Net Carbs and 5,517 steps. Sweet corn is just starting to be ready and we had some for lunch. I know it’s not low carb but that’s OK.

07/19 144.2 lbs 1,243 Calories, 35 Carbs, 14 Net Carbs and 6,443 steps. It’s Sunday and our 1st time back to church since March 12th and we closed down. Wearing mask and social distancing!!

07/20 144.2 lbs 1,428 Calories, 66 Carbs, 45 Net Carbs and 7,653 steps. Evening stacking is killing my Carbs!

07/21 144.4 lbs 1,469 Calories, 75 Carbs, 68 Net Carbs and 8,245 steps. Today it was the sweet corn out of our garden that was high on carbs.

07/22 145.2 lbs 1,231 Calories, 47 Carbs, 28 Net Carbs and 5,324 steps. Spent the day running 2 of my granddaughters around. From ball practice to orthodontist and then to softball game.

07/23 145.2 lbs 1,106 Calories, 29 Carbs, 15 Net Carbs and 4,323 steps. I put up 32 quarts of sweet corn into the freezer. Kept me busy today.

07/24 144.6 lbs 1,246 Calories, 55 Carbs, 48 Net Carbs , 5,887 steps and 30 minutes water aerobics. Carbs are higher due to all the veggies from the garden. My husband is eating all the new potatoes I’m able to leave them alone!

Goal – get back to 132 for this round.... - aim to get back to & stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, really want to keep the 10 days binge free! Keep calm, wash hands, be kind and follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus.

Day/Weight/Comment

07/16 135.2 – such fluctuation !! 8.67 miles walked yesterday. 573 calories in green and all macros in green.
07/17 135.2 – 7.07 miles walked yesterday, at DS with DGD & DGS#1 (brother of sick DGS) so no control of food preparation, but did try to restrict volume of intake !!
07/18 135.2 – 9.6 miles walked yesterday, 605 calories in credit and all macros in green. Baby DGS#2 has been transferred to Leeds hospital where liver experts are, they have given a very tiny glimmer of hope, long hard struggle ahead, but he is a fighter! We're all keeping positive for a miracle.
07/19 135.8 – 10.15 miles walked – guessing that's the bacon at lunch & pizza last night, 304 calories in credit, but 21g carbs over.
07/20 135.6 – 6.74 miles walked yesterday. 7 calories in credit, 19g carbs & 9g fat over. It's the start of another week, need to start over.
07/21 135.6 – 11 miles walked yesterday. 508 calories in credit, carbs over.
07/22 134.8 – 10.63 miles walked yesterday. 716 calories in credit, all macros in green.
07/23 135.2 – 10.36 miles walked yesterday. 459 calories in credit, carbs 5g over.
07/24 136.2 – 5.3 miles walked yesterday around Yorkshire Wildlife Park with DGD & family & DGS#1. Didn't log all food! Received diagnose for sick DGS#2, he has a very rare genetic condition of Mitochondria, no cure or treatment, just has to be managed & although it has caused his liver to be severely diseased, he is not quite severe enough to require a transplant; we are still hoping for a miracle as livers can regenerate. There are only 20-30 cases of this rare type of the disease in the world, you have a better chance of winning the lottery! Going into 6th week of hospital admission and no sign of being well enough to be discharged, he will be 6 months old tomorrow.
07/25 135.4 – 9.24 miles walked yesterday, 390 calories in credit, all other macros in green. Still trying to get my head around Thursdays massive amount of info about DGS, but the fact that there are still no answers to outcome

and I am being totally being something out of my control!. 2 pounds gained this round, not really have my heart in it, almost feels like it is a totally minor borderline activity instead of part of my usual routine. I'll catch up with all the post from last 2 days later.

KEEP SAFE EVERYONE

. Keep calm – we're all in this together!

UTMom81 · July 2020

61 year old female; 5’5"
Highest Weight: 213
Lowest Weight: 143
Goal for this round: make positive progress
GW (for now): 165

Round 117—SW: 181, EW: 179.6
Round 118—SW: 179.6, EW: 177.4
Round 119—SW: 177.4, EW: 176.4

Day/Weight/Comment
07/16–179.4 Well, that just stinks! I did pretty much everything wrong yesterday, and it shows. I almost didn’t post here this morning. Almost didn’t weigh. But that’s what I do when I lose control and vanish from the board, so I decided to just own it and move forward. So that’s a positive, right? I’m hoping this drops off pretty quickly since it was a one day deal, but I know it will take a while to make progress beyond where I was at the end of Round 119. But it's all good. I'm still here and will not give up this time.
07/17–177.6 So, that’s real progress, but some of the damage remains, which is always true, isn’t it? Had a perfectly lovely morning hiking with granddaughter in a pack on my back to an enormous sunflower field. She loves riding on my back in that pack, and I love carrying her into some of my favorite places.
07/18–176.0 Finally some real progress. I’ll take it! I ate lots of fresh veggies and some fresh peaches yesterday along with a farm-raised filet mignon for dinner last night. Got in a good walk early yesterday morning. IF 16:8
07/19–175.6 Sure hope I can maintain control today and keep this trend going!
07/20–174.8 Summer vegetables and fruits from the farmer’s markets make this such a delicious time of year! I even worked in a little ice cream treat yesterday when it was 96 degrees here with humidity of like 1000%—such a scorcher! I’m learning it’s all about portion control and retraining my brain to stay away from, for me, these things: breads, heavy starchy foods (pasta, white potatoes,etc), and rich, saucy ways of cooking things—not necessarily eliminating them entirely, but avoiding them whenever possible. Our family’s favorite dessert right now is fresh fruit (last night was peaches and cherries) with a dollop or two of low fat vanilla yogurt on top. Onward and hopefully downward—one day at a time!
07/21–175.4 Part of the process. I had a rest day from planned exercise yesterday. I was just tired! Gotta get back on it today! But hey, I'm within 10 lbs of my first big goal! That's exciting.
07/22–175.8 This is my body being stubborn. Ate well and exercised a lot yesterday, so I was good with all that. Guess I could have drunk more water, so that is the goal for today.
07/23–175.0 Good day yesterday. Didn’t get derailed by the uptick from the day before. This is truly a mental game, isn’t it? Lots of exercise in spite of it being a sauna here right now. Walked early morning and late evening in addition to just staying busy during the day.
07/24–174.6 I felt great yesterday! I think the better food and extra exercise on a regular basis is starting to affect my overall wellness. I’m hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains today for the first time in months, and I cannot tell you how excited I am about that. I used to hike almost every weekend, but life responsibilities have gotten in the way, and I just don’t get to go very often anymore. I don’t normally lose when I hike though, so today’s weight could be my low for this round and that’ll be fine. :-)
07/25–175.6 Spent a wonderful day on the Appalachian Trail in the Smokies, even with the storm that rolled over us and drenched us in spite of our rain gear. Being on a ridgeline in a thunderstorm is a bit unnerving, but it felt so good to be back in the mountains, it didn’t even bother me this time. This is a typical post-hike blip. It always happens, I suppose because I am so sore the next day. Heck, I’m sore and stiff by the time I drive home! But I’m super happy with this round and excited about the next one!

Skipped RND#108-RND#119 - I struggled during this work-from-home isolation. Ate too much, didn't work out enough. I am.just glad I didn't put on MORE weight. My gym is open, so I'm back and working out... and generally feeling less depressed and more positive than I had since the world went insane back in Feb & Mar. Hope you all are hanging in!

RND#120SW: 163.0lbs
RND#120GW: 160.0lbs
Goal: Improve Sleep - duration of 7hrs and score above 80; decrease BF; increase MM.

Day/Weight/Comment

7/16 163.0lbs, 35.2%bf; 6h38m/85 - good sleep! Mostly a great workout, but got a little light headed at the end. The rest of the day was busy. Glad to be getting back on track!
7/17 162.4lbs, 35.0%bf; 6h28m/81 - up for bit in the middle of the night - again. A little sore.
7/18 164.2lbs (?? why ??) 35.5%bf; 5h45m/71 - slept straight through, but clearly not long enough. Out early doing yardwork since it will be SO hot today.
7/19 163.6lbs, 35.3%bf; 8h18m/91!!! Got up a couple times during the night but was always able to get back to sleep.
7/20 162.8lbs, 35.2%bf; 4h16m/59 - well, that certainly isn't good rest. It's too hot.
7/21 162.8lbs, 35.2%bf; 6h50m/84 - better! So frigging hot! 🔥
7/22 162.6lbs, 35.1%bf; 6h36m/77 - struggled with sleep again. Had a good workout and did better with my eating.
7/23 163.0lbs, 35.2%bf; 6h52m/83 - better rest; workout felt good. No way I'm making goal this round, tho. 🤷‍♀️
7/24 161.8lbs, 34.9%bf; 8h9m/90 - much better!
7/25 161.4lbs, 34.8%bf; 6h2m/76 - didn't make goal, but I knew I wouldn't. Still, any round that ends lower than it started is a successful round.

07/16 186.6
07/17 186.2 completed my work out, tracked u til my phone died
07/18 186.6 completed my work out, did ok with tracking until dinner
07/19 187.2 walked and completed beach body workout, thought I did ok when we went out to dinner but maybe not.
07/20 186.8 I took a rest day for workouts and went to the beach. I enjoyed a few white claws and probably too many snacks.
07/21 186.6 completed my workout and stayed close to my calorie goal
07/22 186.2 a little disappointed that after a week only down .4, had another good day yesterday with completing my workout and Long Beach walk and being mindful of my calories
07/23 186.8 completed my workout and did ok eating until dinner when I wasn’t prepared and ate crap after getting home late from my sons baseball game
07/24 187.2 things not moving in the right direction. Not a great day yesterday, I didn’t track since we took a day trip and and I got lazy
07/25 187.4 got my work out in and a beach walk, eating was better but still not good enough apparently

This challenge I failed but I think I will try it again to see if it can motivate me to stay tracking.

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.
07/21: 211 / I feel like a pufferfish . ( https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/fish/group/pufferfish/ )
07/22: 211 / I rarely weigh the same on two days in a row. Let’s bump it down a notch for tomorrow.
07/23: 210 / I would be somewhat happy if this would develop into my normal high-end of a maintenance range (noun). As you can see by the numbers, my weight ranges (verb / 3rd person present. I had to look that up. Ha!). Now is the time to fight the tendency to let up because I am “doing so well.”
07/24: 209.4 / woot!
07/25: 209.0 / Finished this round pretty strong. Have not seen a ten day average this low in since the covid nonsense began. 211.5 average. Would have been lower without the poor performance last weekend. I expect a little bump up this weekend, but I know I will eat better than last weekend. See you all next round!

@rlaskey2 You DID NOT FAIL if you are learning and modifying your habits. It took me over 50 years to learn about my eating/loss/gain pattern. You said you ate crap the other night. That was one night - 2 days ago! My crappy eating usually takes 2-3 days to be reflected on the scale. Watch for YOUR pattern and learn. Stay with us through a few more rounds. Please

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.
7/21 120.0 A carb filled day of leftovers which are now going in the trash. 4 days of carbs = 4.5 lbs Back on the plan today. I’ve got this!
7/22 118.5
7/23 118.0 Our daughter had a rotator cuff repair yesterday so I’m off the “baby”sit while her husband takes youngest granddaughter to an appointment.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/15 …..209.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

07/16 …..210.1 ….. I want to apologize for not being very engaging these past few rounds. There are some major changes going on in my life, some good, some full of turmoil, and my time has been limited and my efforts constantly disrupted. What I am facing could turn positive but it is going to take awhile for it to all come together. My diet and exercise has been completely thrown off-kilter no matter how hard I have tried to keep a good schedule. My usual walking plans of many, many miles per day has been non-existent. Covid has contributed but is not the main factor. I am saddened by this because summer is usually my most successful time of year due to walking, hiking and outdoor activity. I hope for resolution in the coming months, certainly by the end of the year. In the meantime, I will continue to hang around and do what I can, when I can. I know how important it is to my health. I just wanted to say I am sorry that I am not in a position to inspire at this time, but that I continue to be inspired by each and every one of you. I ask for your patience. I still have so much to learn from you all which I know will help when my life is back in order and I can get back in the game 100%. Thanks for your understanding and support.

07/17 …..210.0 ….. Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes and private emails too. It is truly appreciated during what is proving to be an especially challenging time. @quiltingjaine When I was a Postal worker years back and on my feet all the time, the gov’t recommended calcium, magnesium and zinc which we took in a 1 pill combo pill. It really did help with leg cramps, muscle soreness and all the things leg related. Of course, talk to your doctor if you have any concerns. It helped thousands of us, just in my building alone!

07/18 …..210.0 ….. Status Quo.
07/19 …..210.1 ….. Hopefully just a fluctuation.
07/20 …..210.0 …..
07/21 …..210.0 ….. No progress but no detriment either so I’ll take it (for now).

07/22 …..210.1 …..
07/23 …..210.0…..
07/24 …..210.0 ….. I suppose I should take some comfort in the fact that I’m holding things steady in light of the storms & whirlwinds in my life right now. I hope to refocus in the coming weeks. In the meantime, I am okay and hanging in there continuing to support and gain inspiration from you all!
07/25 …..210.0 …..

7/16 - 182.8
Eeeek! Salt.

7/17 - 181.4
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!

7/19 - 181.8
Muggy Sunday! At least there’s a breeze. My garden seems pretty happy! Be well, everyone.

7/20 - 181.4
Ok, back on track. It’s a gorgeous day here, so I’m off for a walk, then 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! 🌻🌸🌱

7/21 - 181.2
Another beautiful day unfolding here. Right now I’m sitting in my garden watching hummingbirds courting, a bunny munching clover, sparrows redecorating a nest in the maple, and listening to a hawk I can’t spot in the bright sky. I really should get up and do something. Oh wait! I am doing something! Have a lovely, everyone.

7/22 - 181.2
Sticking to the plan pretty much. Sure was easier to put it back on than to take it back off!

7/23 - 183.2
Aww, come on. I almost didn’t record this! I know this is water — can’t gain 2 lbs of fat in a day — but I don’t know why. I haven’t had a high sodium day in a while. So frustrating. My fat cells really do think this is about where we belong, apparently. Gaaa! I really want to hit <180 — or close — this round and I’ve stayed on track for the most part. Going to beat up a few bags of top soil in my new garden bed.

7/24 - 181.8
Feeling grumpy about this.

7/25 - Goal <180 — 181.2
Ok, not much down, not my goal, and I know it’s from snacking (still). At least I have a good sense of my actual maintenance calories. Bit by bit. Next round.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/16–179.4 Well, that just stinks! I did pretty much everything wrong yesterday, and it shows. I almost didn’t post here this morning. Almost didn’t weigh. But that’s what I do when I lose control and vanish from the board, so I decided to just own it and move forward. So that’s a positive, right? I’m hoping this drops off pretty quickly since it was a one day deal, but I know it will take a while to make progress beyond where I was at the end of Round 119. But it's all good. I'm still here and will not give up this time.
07/17–177.6 So, that’s real progress, but some of the damage remains, which is always true, isn’t it? Had a perfectly lovely morning hiking with granddaughter in a pack on my back to an enormous sunflower field. She loves riding on my back in that pack, and I love carrying her into some of my favorite places.
07/18–176.0 Finally some real progress. I’ll take it! I ate lots of fresh veggies and some fresh peaches yesterday along with a farm-raised filet mignon for dinner last night. Got in a good walk early yesterday morning. IF 16:8
07/19–175.6 Sure hope I can maintain control today and keep this trend going!
07/20–174.8 Summer vegetables and fruits from the farmer’s markets make this such a delicious time of year! I even worked in a little ice cream treat yesterday when it was 96 degrees here with humidity of like 1000%—such a scorcher! I’m learning it’s all about portion control and retraining my brain to stay away from, for me, these things: breads, heavy starchy foods (pasta, white potatoes,etc), and rich, saucy ways of cooking things—not necessarily eliminating them entirely, but avoiding them whenever possible. Our family’s favorite dessert right now is fresh fruit (last night was peaches and cherries) with a dollop or two of low fat vanilla yogurt on top. Onward and hopefully downward—one day at a time!
07/21–175.4 Part of the process. I had a rest day from planned exercise yesterday. I was just tired! Gotta get back on it today! But hey, I'm within 10 lbs of my first big goal! That's exciting.
07/22–175.8 This is my body being stubborn. Ate well and exercised a lot yesterday, so I was good with all that. Guess I could have drunk more water, so that is the goal for today.
07/23–175.0 Good day yesterday. Didn’t get derailed by the uptick from the day before. This is truly a mental game, isn’t it? Lots of exercise in spite of it being a sauna here right now. Walked early morning and late evening in addition to just staying busy during the day.
07/24–174.6 I felt great yesterday! I think the better food and extra exercise on a regular basis is starting to affect my overall wellness. I’m hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains today for the first time in months, and I cannot tell you how excited I am about that. I used to hike almost every weekend, but life responsibilities have gotten in the way, and I just don’t get to go very often anymore. I don’t normally lose when I hike though, so today’s weight could be my low for this round and that’ll be fine. :-)
07/25–175.6 Spent a wonderful day on the Appalachian Trail in the Smokies, even with the storm that rolled over us and drenched us in spite of our rain gear. Being on a ridgeline in a thunderstorm is a bit unnerving, but it felt so good to be back in the mountains, it didn’t even bother me this time. This is a typical post-hike blip. It always happens, I suppose because I am so sore the next day. Heck, I’m sore and stiff by the time I drive home! But I’m super happy with this round and excited about the next one!

I can relate to the post hike blip up! I’m up .8 pounds from soreness and all the salt in the post hike meal yesterday. We spent the day hiking in the White Mtns in NH. I agree with it feeling so nice to be in the mountains again!

Goal – get back to 132 for this round.... - aim to get back to & stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, really want to keep the 10 days binge free! Keep calm, wash hands, be kind and follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus.

Day/Weight/Comment

07/16 135.2 – such fluctuation !! 8.67 miles walked yesterday. 573 calories in green and all macros in green.
07/17 135.2 – 7.07 miles walked yesterday, at DS with DGD & DGS#1 (brother of sick DGS) so no control of food preparation, but did try to restrict volume of intake !!
07/18 135.2 – 9.6 miles walked yesterday, 605 calories in credit and all macros in green. Baby DGS#2 has been transferred to Leeds hospital where liver experts are, they have given a very tiny glimmer of hope, long hard struggle ahead, but he is a fighter! We're all keeping positive for a miracle.
07/19 135.8 – 10.15 miles walked – guessing that's the bacon at lunch & pizza last night, 304 calories in credit, but 21g carbs over.
07/20 135.6 – 6.74 miles walked yesterday. 7 calories in credit, 19g carbs & 9g fat over. It's the start of another week, need to start over.
07/21 135.6 – 11 miles walked yesterday. 508 calories in credit, carbs over.
07/22 134.8 – 10.63 miles walked yesterday. 716 calories in credit, all macros in green.
07/23 135.2 – 10.36 miles walked yesterday. 459 calories in credit, carbs 5g over.
07/24 136.2 – 5.3 miles walked yesterday around Yorkshire Wildlife Park with DGD & family & DGS#1. Didn't log all food! Received diagnose for sick DGS#2, he has a very rare genetic condition of Mitochondria, no cure or treatment, just has to be managed & although it has caused his liver to be severely diseased, he is not quite severe enough to require a transplant; we are still hoping for a miracle as livers can regenerate. There are only 20-30 cases of this rare type of the disease in the world, you have a better chance of winning the lottery! Going into 6th week of hospital admission and no sign of being well enough to be discharged, he will be 6 months old tomorrow.
07/25 135.4 – 9.24 miles walked yesterday, 390 calories in credit, all other macros in green. Still trying to get my head around Thursdays massive amount of info about DGS, but the fact that there are still no answers to outcome and I am being totally being something out of my control!. 2 pounds gained this round, not really have my heart in it, almost feels like it is a totally minor borderline activity instead of part of my usual routine. I'll catch up with all the post from last 2 days later.

KEEP SAFE EVERYONE . Keep calm – we're all in this together!

?�ﾟﾏﾼ?ﾏﾼ?�ﾟﾏﾼ This is NOT A DIET - It’s a PERMANENT LIFESTYLE. ?�ﾟﾏﾼ?�ﾟﾏﾼ

I hope you get some sort of answers for an outcome soon. You’ll be in my thoughts

Female, 5’7, age 42.

SW 241.8
End of round 115: 235.2
End of round 116: 232.0
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.

7/21: 222.8 Recently I read that according to one early study, a BMI of 30 or above was associated with a higher risk of complications from COVID, and a BMI of 35 or above was associated with a higher risk of death. As of today, I am below a 35. Hovered right above it for a few days, so it feels good to have gotten here.

7/22: 221.8 I’ve lost 20 pounds! Same pattern from last week repeated here: several days around the same weight with a bobble up and back down at one point, and then all of a sudden two days in a row with a full pound drop. I can live with that.

7/23: 222.0 Had a restaurant meal for dinner, but I planned for it and ordered something that fit in my calories. Also an active day, with a brief bike ride in the morning and an extended swim (100 laps) in the evening.

7/24: 222.0 Was up later than usual and snacked on a bunch of cashews - not nearly as bad a late night snack as it could have been, but still ate up most of my deficit. I stayed below maintenance, though, so win!

7/25: 220.2 Whoo! Big one-day drop that’s got to include a lot of water, but I’ll take it. Nice number to end the round on.

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!

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!

Previous days’ entries

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.

07/21 116.4 It’s crazy that my legs are still sore from my workout on Saturday. I didn’t even feel like I did a ton of stuff to them. Yesterday was good food wise, for breakfast I had my usual yogurt with fruit and granola and for dinner I made pulled pork in the pressure cooker so it would be easy to throw together after I cleaned my CSA produce. For sides we had sautéed zucchini, beet green stems, and an onion. We also each had a ½ ear of corn on the cob. My wish came true about my CSA pick up this week, we only got 1 bunch of kale and beets with greens on it. The rest were vegetables like corn, cucumbers, squash, onions, scallions, tomato, and a few other things. Have a good Tuesday everyone!

07/22 116.4 So far today I have dropped my car at the shop to finally get my snow tires taken off (haven’t really driven anywhere since March) and get my all-weather tires put back on. Then, I walked the 3 ½ ish miles home and did some jump roping and sprinting in our yard to get a cardio boost. Dinner was easy last night because it was leftover pulled pork. To switch it up for myself I cooked some quick cooking barley to put the pork on top of and had some left over zucchini with it. The barley helped make the meal nice and filling. I’m not really sure what’s on the agenda for tonight’s dinner but maybe some sort of chicken Thai or Indian curry with lots of veggies.

07/23 116.4 Food was good yesterday. I made a chickpea salad with raw summer squash, cucumber, tomato, fresh corn, yogurt, fresh dill, fresh basil, Greek yogurt, and red wine vinegar. The fresh corn tied everything together with the subtle sweetness. It was nice and light tasting while still having a creaminess from the yogurt. I’ll definitely be making similar dishes in the future. I finished up the last of the pulled pork for dinner last night. Today, my breakfast will be a smoothie pudding bowl of sorts. We ran out of yogurt last night, so I decided to use my Vital Protein’s gelatin in my smoothie. The gelatin then turns my smoothie into a jello/pudding consistency and increases the volume of it and makes it perfect to top with more fruit and granola. Dinner will be a lot of summer squashes and few tastes of Chinese food that my in laws are ordering.
I’m excited for tomorrow because my husband and I are going for a day hike up in the mountains on a hopefully secluded with minimal people 😊. It’s been well over a year since we’ve gone for a hike, so it’ll be soo nice to be out in nature like that again.
So I probably won’t be checking in here until later in the day tomorrow.

07/24 DNW spent the day hiking in NH.

07/25 117.2 Salt and soreness = water weight. Lazy day today because we woke up yesterday at 3:30 AM to get to the trailhead for 6 AM to avoid as many people as possible. It worked out because we only saw 4-5 people during our 6 hour adventure. We were able to enjoy some views in solitude and get in-touch with the mountains again. It felt so good and we lucked out weather wise too. We finished the hike with a stop for fast food before heading down the highway home. The day was awesome and I’m so happy we were able to get up there.
Today has been good for food so far and I plan on making a cucumber/yogurt salad for lunch and then peanut soba noodles for dinner with extra veggies.
Ended the round with the same weight as the last day of the previous round. I’ll take it as a win for at least maintaining.

58 y.o. female 5' 7"
HW: 186 UGW: 150
R119 - Lost 2.9# - 172.6
R120 GOAL: 169.9 Need to dip my toe into the 160's!
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.
07/21: 170.7 Walked 3 miles in the heat; uphill both ways (lol); grateful to make it back to my door--and my fitbit did not automatically sync to show my calories earned--and didn't sync all day! So disappointing, not that I eat them back anyway but I just like to smell them.:)
07/22: 170.7 Three days with the "0" = YAY! Clearly a plateau in the works though. I'm going to do my own version of the "Naked and Afraid" program. Think I will call it "Fluffy and Staid". (Dictionary.com had a few definitions for staid, so I selected "serious-minded"!) My goal is so close I can taste it--who's with me? Let's push!
07/23: 170.5 Never worked so hard for 2 oz in my life. Still fluffy; Still staid! Doing it all again today!
07/24: 170.9 Think the old bod is on to the walking every day routine. Today is a back to the gym day. That will shake the fluff up! Still hopeful to dip the toe into the 160's this round, but there is always next round thanks to @GrandmaJackie !
07/25: 171.3 earned the uptick with a great outing with the hubs. Happy with every extra oz today and happy with my overall loss of 1.9 pounds loss this round. See you on the next page!

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

1405 cals 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?

07/21- 167.0

1619 cals Cardio day... 1hr last night. At least I weigh less than yesterday now let's stay on track with calories and exercise...I believe I can achieve!

07/22- 168.0

2088 cals I guess my weight is going back up again! I was hoping to lose more than a lb as long as this troublesome pound stays gone! I mostly did legs in the gym today and my gym buddy never showed! Oh, well just hope I learn a bit of self-disciplene through this experience if nothing else.

07/23- 168.6

1546 cals I did 60 min of cardio and although the inches are coming off the pounds seem to cling on to me. I can't seem to lose a pound and keep it off. My weight is also seriously fluctuating during the day. Trying to be more strict w my calories...it's a struggle!

07/24 - 167.0

1547 cal Wow! Staying true on my food diary and the extra cardio did the trick! Sooo close!

07/25 -166.0

I reached my goal! I didn't think I would! I did chest yesterday and a bit of shopping. Ate healthy..and voila! So proud of myself!

Good job to everyone this round who made the effort! I am proud of you all!

Day/Weight/Comment
07/16 181.2 Boo. When will I start dropping real weight again?

07/17 180.4 Ok, this is better. All week I’ve been on track for food and getting my walks and weights in. Now need to keep on track over the weekend. The weekend backtracking has been self-defeating.

07/18 179.2 Wow, awesome.

07/19 180.4 Not surprising; I ate extra as I’m on clear liquid diet today (Medical check tomorrow).

07/20 Doesn’t Count

07/21 179.4 Thought maybe I’d retain a bit more of the procedure loss, but that’s ok. Happy Scale is under 180 even for the averages, so I’m happy!

07/22 179.2 Still in the 17X decade! Sticking to my calorie targets and keeping the exercise. Went a bit easier with the weights yesterday (2 sets, not 4) but otherwise on point.

07/23 179.8 Was expecting a little more off, but still 17X, I’ll take it.

07/24 179.8 Same actions as yesterday (green for calories, good for exercise) same results. But at least it’s not higher!

07/25 179.8 Hoped for more, but still 17X so I’ll take it.

Round 120: -1.0 lb

07/19: 238.4 (-2.6)/20.5 (-0.3)

07/20: 236.8 (-1.6)/20.3 (-0.2)

07/21: 235.8 (-1.0)/20.2 (-0.1). Here I go again! Life has been rough. I'm really trying to get out of my current job... let's call it an "unsafe work environment." I'm just trying to hang on until something pops up, and I'm a little bit scared that it's not going to happen in time. That being said, I AM SICK OF BEING FAT. So here I am, coming back to the place that has always seemed to work for me in the past. The great news is that my wife is not only on-board with the idea of me getting fit/healthy, but she is actually joining me on the journey. There are always negotiations that need to take place; she wants to define her exceptions and "cheat days" before she gets into any routine, and I am much more about jumping in and figuring out those things as they come. Honestly, I don't believe that you need to "plan" cheat days; they happen ALL THE TIME. Anyways, I'll be around consistently for the foreseeable future. I've been struggling to do this, but something is different this time.

07/22: 235.2 (-0.6)/20.2 (0.0). Two days in a row... I feel like I'm in AA! I decided to take the rest of the week off from work to rest and recharge, and also to get used to my body deciding that it's not happy with the idea that I'm clearing house and making changes. I don't really care what my body's opinion is at this point; this needs to happen. I know I'm going to be saying this over and over again, but THANK YOU all for being here, and being so supportive. It feels great every time I'm here, and... man, there's really nothing left to say. It doesn't make any sense that I would ever stop posting/reading here, and I'm finished with "not making sense" at this point in my life.

07/23: 233.6 (-1.6)/20.0 (-0.2). I try not to get too excited when I step on the scale, but today felt good. My back is HURTING today (lower and mid... very weird), just as it did yesterday. But I haven't let pain sidetrack me, which is a good thing. My wife finally jumped on the scale this morning for the first time since we started, and noticed that she's already lost 2 lbs. I know my weight loss is a bit exaggerated at this point because it's the beginning, but I'll take it. I'm going to try to find a way to get a little bit of activity in today, in hopes that it might have a positive effect on my back.

07/24: 233.6 (0.0)/20.0 (0.0). Back spasms yesterday. Too painful to post.

07/25: 233.6 (0.0)/20.0 (0.0). Ended the round on a 3-day plateau, but I'll take it. My back is still sore, but it's feeling better. I'm hoping I'll feel good enough to exercise next week.

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.
07/21 - 328.5 - Down about 3 lbs. from previous week.
07/22 - 328.4 - I wish it were a bit more, but this is one day after eating. If I'm under tomorrow what I weighed on the 16th (one week ago), I'll be quite happy.
07/23 - 326.2 - There we go. After a full 40+ hours of fasting, the drop starts again.
07/24 - 328.3 - a 2 lb. uptick from yesterday, since that was an *eat* day. But down 1.4 from the previous week.
07/25 - 323.6 - Bingo, made it. My damned scale wasn't sitting flush on the floor. Every time I checked my weight this morning it kept going up... even though I didn't eat or drink AND urinated multiple times. I knew something was wrong, but it was driving me crazy. At the end of a fasting period (mine was 43 hours), I know I'm in ketosis and autophagy, so my weight MUST be doing down.

👍🏼👍🏼 This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE. 👍🏼👍🏼

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. Recovered from back then hip surgery!! Got back to walking then I sprained my ankle. UGH! hurts!

The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

07/16 163.2 Holy hell! Serious wake up call!!! 3,383 steps - Personal training session via zoom.

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 (339 calorie burn) 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.
4,362 steps

07/21 162.2 Walked today before my class. I'll walk again afterwards. I did meal prep yesterday, so I'm all set for today.

Height: 5’9”
Age: 31
Round Start: 136.7
Round Goal: 135.0
Final Goal: 130.0

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!
07/21 - 134.7 | I guess yesterday was a weird blip. Back down to the weight from the day before. Made the famous low calorie protein powder cheesecake from the recipe section of these forums. While not particularly delicious, it is surprisingly filling for the calorie count (mine, with blueberries, is ~200 calories per serving). Eating that for breakfast around 8:00am has (so far) kept me from wanting a morning snack until lunch comes.
07/22 - 134.3
07/23 - 134.0 | Was terribly tired/starving yesterday afternoon, so I'm glad the scale threw me a tiny bone for my troubles. Actually not 100% sure my scale was properly calibrated when I started this thing, but I think it is now, so we'll see what kind of pace I'm on in the next round.
07/24 - 134.0 | Forgot to weigh myself first thing in the morning, so not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison with the other days, but at least it didn't go up.
07/25 - 132.9 | Seems too low, guessing it's just a blip, we'll see tomorrow. I'm consuming ~1,500 calories a day, and get less than 10k steps a day, so I really shouldn't be coming down this much. Then again I feel like my muscles barely work some days and I'm not exactly working out much, so maybe I should take it easier next round!

Just Give Me 10 Days ~ Round 120
