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 surgery then hip surgery!! Got back to walking then I sprained my ankle. UGH! hurt! I was down for 6 weeks with the ankle.
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

🏖🎡🎍🌳🍄 AUGUST🍄🌳🎍🎡⛱
🌾🎍🌵🌴🌳🏖🎡⛱🌳🌴🌵🎍🌾
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.
August focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:
- 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 122 🔹Posting weight and comments each evening.
2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Working on it. Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
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.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/05 206.8 Yesterday 13213 steps and 1530 calories. Found a new aerobic you tube video that I liked. High intensity I loved it!
08/06 206.9 Yesterday 12958 steps 1292 calories lunch walk afternoon intervals (walk run walk run) Doesn’t seem to be enough…I am not upset by the slight incline. What I burn in calories, is slowing down. I have to push myself harder. In some ways it is a good thing because it means I am healthier but I have to start using more strength training because walking isn’t doing it anymore…I have some 5lb dumbbells at home…
08/07 206.7 Yesterday 15179 steps 1921 calories went overboard on some fries. Stressful day yesterday, Hunger found me. My heart was working overboard due to stress not exercise. I did get in some good walking and exercise.
08/08 207.7 Yesterday 13820 steps lunch and evening walk 1407 calories a little fatty with some meatballs but nothing too bad. I think it is still stress. I am trying to budget my life.
08/09 208.2 This is going the wrong direction. I did get a 40 minute walk in last night and my son kept me running. 1484 in calories 10845 steps but generally not a very active day too much sitting around this weekend. (plus my sister picked up the scale and shook it ) Cringe! I think it’s off…
08/10 208.4 9559 steps 1609 steps and discouragement is making its way into my bones. I did get a 40 minutes aerobics but I am losing this fight…Today will be better…
08/11 206.5 That’s what I am talking about! 1524 calories 11764 steps lunch and evening walk. So hot this summer I want to go swimming. My scale has settled back down.
08/12 Birthday! 206.1 did get some walking today with my new fitbit! Thank you sis...I indulged earlier in the day but had a lightly dressed turkey cutlet salad. My indulgence was bacon and egg sandwich, shrimp street tacos, tequila and mini cupcakes. All and all not bad but my birthday keeps going until September...

I'm really needing some accountability. Lost more than 25lbs, and fast-forward through a couple of car accidents, and quitting exercising, I find that I'm more than uncomfortable in my clothes! (And gained 25 back) I know I'm joining mid-way, so hopefully, will be in fully, next round. I need some butt-kicking...
Round 122
SW: 8/9 139lbs Goal: 115 Goal: Walking 20 mins daily (done)
8/10 137.4lbs Walking 20 mins (done) Weight fluctuation due to absence of junk food? Water weight?
8/11 136.6 Walking (Leslie Sansone 'Walk off fat fast') 15 mins (my butt was kicked at 15 mins!) My weekend of wild and wanton eating must have skewed my SW. I'm okay with that, because the way my clothes have been fitting, thought I was easily 10lbs heavier!

08/09 179.6 yay! Came back a pound lighter. Ate smart (lots of veggies, thinking through my meals the night before), yet still enjoyed myself (campfire popcorn!). Lots of exercise, yet not excessive.
08/10 179.2 😁 Back to my beat weight this year. Ate well for a Sunday and the results show. I may even get a little more sodium drop in the next day or so because I think I ate a lot more salt while camping than I normally do. Now back to work!
08/11 179.2 feel like I don’t deserve it as I suddenly binged an entire Lindt chocolate bar last night, but I’ll take it. And stay on track today.
08/12 181.6 This is what self-sabotage looks like. Sigh. Think I’m back on track now but will probably continue to pay for a few days.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 122 (round 54 for me ) I'm in for another round (of course!) – I need to just keep going! As always, thank you @GrandmaJackie such a champion particularly in these unprecedented & unsettled times, helping 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 for this round – I really need to take myself in hand and get a move on, these extra pounds are settling on me too easily and I don't like it; but I've only got myself to blame. So I need to try to lose 1.5 pounds ! Our bathroom is being refurbished now for the next 3 weeks; miles will be more difficult to achieve whilst the workmen are here, but I'll try to get an hour or so in before they arrive and then some in the evening around commitments with MIL care. I know I've said it before , but I need 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!End of round 69 134.2 lbsKeep calm – we're all in this together! Wash hands, be kind and follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/05 134.2 7.41 miles walked yesterday. 710 calories in credit and all macros in green. DGS still doing well .
08/06 133.6 whoosh !! just shows what a difference it makes when I log everything that passes through my lips !! I'm guessing with normal fluctuations I will be up tomorrow - 7.66 miles walked yesterday, 807 calories in credit, all macros in green. 8 hours scraping wallpaper off.
08/07 133 – whoowhoo! 8.22 miles walked yesterday. 458 calories in credit, carbs 1g over. Another 7 hours scraping wallpaper off; I swear the previous owners used superglue to stick it on !!!
08/08 133.6 – thought yesterday was too good to be true, but I'm fine with this. 4.91 miles walked yesterday, another 6 hours of scraping, but it's finished!! I couldn't find wallpaper scraping in the exercise activity, but I sweated buckets each of those 3 days & I've lost weight, but yesterday was 255 calories, 52g carbs & 5g fat over on macros !! Friday night is the start of our weekend, but I didn't go mad & logged every mouthful.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/05: 158.2No fun to see one more pound than expected. But it is what it is. Will not lament. Goals are no alcohol during the week, increase water, log everything and increase exercises (back pain minding)!Good logging everyone!!!
08/06: 157. 4 Happy to see a drop! I know all about water drops, which could be this, but it motivates, so I'll take it!
08/07: 157.2 Tougher day… I kept within calorie goal, but man was I hungry! Sore from increasing my walks the day before, lots of back pain so I didn’t get my steps but did my yoga.
08/08: 156.2 Enjoyed two great yoga workouts yesterday. Kept under max calories (incl workout calories). Happy to see numbers down.
08/09: Skipped weighing in… Sundays, I need to have a day in which I don’t have an emotional response to whatever the scale shows… And I know this is something I need to work on, but it’s my break day. But I did do my yoga workout.
08/10: 156.4 It has been very HOT in The Netherlands (35 celsius) with no air conditioning, so I’m retaining water!! So there was a small .2 gain… that’s OK! I haven’t done my yoga yet, but I will… maybe a bike rid as well… we’ll see.
08/11: 155.2 happily surprised! Took so much care to drink extra water. With this heat wave, water retention is real! Keep on doing my yoga practice in hopes that my back pain reduces!!

- Drink more water (target min 80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
- Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020)
- Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
- Drink less alcohol (4 AF days per week; ~16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

Day/Weight/Comment
08/05 - 145 - So, either my scale was off yesterday, it's off today, or I drank enough water yesterday to shed 2 lbs. Tomorrow will tell the tale.
08/06 - 145.5 - Yesterday's weight must have been a little of all three. I'll take it.
08/07 - 146 - I was really hoping the scale was going to go the other way this morning. Oh well, I'll just keep plugging along.
08/08 - 145.5
08/09 - 145
08/10 - 145 - This looks good, but lately my weekend seems to catch up with me on Tuesday or Wednesday. I was pretty good this weekend, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow.
08/11 - 145.5 - Okay, I just hope it doesn't go up any more tomorrow. More water today.
08/12 - 145 - I'm very glad to see this.

SW (Oct 2019): 160.2 lbs
GW: 120 lbs
Goal for 10 day challenge: -1.0 lb
08/05: 132.4 lbs - I've been dead-on with measuring food and getting my workouts in; joined the August running challenge to keep me accountable for getting my runs in.
08/06: 132.2 lbs - Yesterday was a rest day and my legs are sore from Tuesday lower workout!
08/07: 131.8 lbs - Made sure to stay on track with accurate food logging. Internet technician and project manager for our new roof were in our home until 7pm so I didn't get my normal workout in. Today will be a thrown together workout and longer run.
08/08: 131.2 lbs - Florida heat is no joke during runs 🥵 Just need to make sure I keep going down and not fluctuate up!
08/09: 132 lbs - Fluctuated up! I can definitely say it was dinner.
08/10: 131.6 lbs - Stayed in calorie range and no over-indulging of dinner. Today is upper weights and longer jog!
08/11: 132.0 lbs - Here's that fluctuation dance! Body probably holding onto water after the upper weights session
08/12: 131.2 lbs - Had my best run yet last night!
08/13: 131 lbs - Was planning to do a little run last night, but didn't. Was out after work with my mom trying to find her a Mother of the Bride dress. Tonight is weight session and run

Goal this round: Report daily
8/8-160-I am back for good! It 10 lbs later and I finally am getting my life back in order. We’ve had nonstop company; I love to cook; DH says I’m running a B&B. My uncle was just here for 3 days to install the garage cabinets we made together.

8/10-160-coffee, a walk, grocery store and quilting a quilt today.Happy Monday.....it’s a good day to start fresh!!!☕️🌸
8/11-158-Finally a drop. Walked 3 miles and ate pretty good. Hoping for a bike ride before it gets hot.
8/12-158-Whew! Glad it stayed...I made my own kombucha and love it. Trying again for a bike ride, even if it’s hot.
I love making kombucha! I made my own for almost a year I think it was it gets addicting! It’s so fun playing with the flavors! If you’re looking for a book/if you don’t have it already “The big book of kombucha” is amazing! I still look through and long for the kitchen space to be a mad scientist again brewing my own kombucha.2 -

I am so happy to have stumbled on this board. This is exactly what I need. Like minded people to help keep me accountable, 10 days at a time.
Ultimately, I'd like to lose 11.2 pounds from what I weighed this morning. I realize that there are only a few days left in this round, but I am too excited to wait so here I am.
