Does anyone know @tlw9297? I have a friend request but have no idea who it is. I don’t accept unless the person is active on this board, the only one I’m on. The same on Facebook - too many weird random friend requests from total strangers!

Sorry, don't recognise that user name; I'm the same, only accept as friends on MFP people I recognise from here, had an unpleasant experience a while back so just ignore random people now, it's best to avoid potential problems!!
I'm not on Facebook so that doesn't apply to me.

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!

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.
08/09 134.4 – yoyo !! Only 3.12 miles walked yesterday; took 2 year old DGS out for the day, just played!! 641 calories, 109g carbs & 20g fat over (pizza last night) – that's what happens when my mileage is dramatically short!! Never mind today is another day !!
08/10 134.4 - 11 miles walked yesterday, 738 calories in credit, all macros in green -that's better!! DGS#2 is still doing well, better now they've sorted his pain relief out, he is more contented and can concentrate on recovery!
08/11 134.4 – 7.49 miles walked yesterday, 432 calories in credit, all macros in green.
08/12 133.8 – 7.95 miles walked yesterday, 473 calories in credit, 3 carbs over.
08/13 133.4 – 6.24 miles walked yesterday, not such a good food day, 258 calories over and all macros over respectively

08/14 133.4 - 8.62 miles walked yesterday, 749 calories in credit, all macros in green. I'm happy with that; 1.8 pounds lost from the end of last round – I was aiming for the 2 pounds from the last round but 1, but as last round I lost 0.2 that makes the 2 pound !! So inwards and upwards they say, here it should be onwards and downwards !! See you all in the next round. (DGS still doing well.)

KEEP SAFE EVERYONE

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

@deepwoodslady - sometime life just gets in the way and when that happens other things have to be put on hold, but you are hanging on in there and that is good. Please don't disappear cuz you're discouraged at the numbers, you can take the bull by the horns when you are good and ready again and that time will come trust me. In the meantime keep checking in with us, we are here for you when you need us - friends to lean on. I hope we will still see you in the next round, big hugs to you, take care xx.

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: 153.4 WHAT?!? I’m just ecstatic!!!

08/12: 153.4 Keeping up with my goals of more water, no snacking, tracking and adding to my yoga routine (back pain is still pretty bad)!

08/13 I messed up my dates somewhere!!!

08/14: 152.8 Super Happy with the results of this challenge. It was a great way to kick-start again!!! I’m still sticking to my calorie numbers. Must say, I’m feeling empowered throughout this first 10-day challenge. Looking forward to the next!!!

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine. - John C. Maxwell

My goal for 2020 is to get into ONEderland and making it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
- Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles in August
- 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)

🎯Mini Goal: get out & stay out of the 40s
11 weeks till 60th birthday 💖
5 months till next physical

08/05 - Previous week started walking 2 miles per day; Started AF today
08/06 - 241
08/07 - Started drinking 80-100 oz water and walking 3 miles per day
08/08 - Hiking the hills in Austin with my son & his wife
08/09 - 240.4 - Added 15 min on bike and hand weight routine + low carb low cal day
08/10 - 238.4 - Started Keto for Life 4 week plan by Mellissa Sevigny (modified)
08/11 - 237.9 - digging in the yard moving dirt on top of my exercise this week … trying to get rid of the areas that hold water when we have heavy rains
08/12 - 236.5 Added 5reps 20sec modified planks to my routine ... core baby steps
08/13 - 235.1 It is always encouraging to see the darn pounds that I gained this year melt away when I focus and work hard to get back into gear for weight loss. I’m back to what I weighed at the beginning of 2020. YEAH!
NOTE to self … you hate gaining and losing the same pounds over and over so push through and continue!
08/14 - 234.8 - Down 6.2 lbs this round! No alcohol this round. That made it easier but not sure how long I can keep that up … missing my wine.🍷
NOTE to self … Targeting 1200-1400 calories, net carbs <20, 100 oz water, and exercising is working for me. I am not focusing on the full Keto 5%netcarbs/25%protein/70%fat macro at this time ... just calories and carbs. Intermittent fasting (water/coffee only no snacking) from 7pm-8am (13hrs) also is comfortable for me so far … remember this! I’m not skipping meals just the snacking before dinner & after drinking and late late dinners. Since I’m an early riser I moved my walking up earlier in the morning so that I can get in a few more hours of fast before breakfast and beat the heat. I’m not hungry.😊

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:)
08/14: 130.6 lbs! Had a great strength session but then a storm decided to start so I couldn't get my run in.
Challenge start: 132.4 lbs
Challenge end: 130.6 lbs
I achieved my goal of -1.0 lb by actually losing 1.8 lbs!
Feels good! 0.4lbs shy of 30lbs gone since October! Fingers crossed that I get to 128 lbs by Labor Day to succeed in the labor day challenge as well!

No, I don't think so. This tree does seem to be on a bi-yearly schedule. Or every 3 years. Thank goodness. The last time I picked up close to 30 gallons of acorns.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/05 202. I am 1.4 pounds down from yesterday which is good. I guess that means that I was still retaining water. I'm still 2.4 pounds heavier than my lowest weight last round, so I'm hoping to be at or below that at some point this round. I'm interested to see what happens.
08/06 201.6
08/07 200.2 Well, I think the mystery of why I gained weight near the end of last round and why I'm losing it quickly now has become apparent. I had a hysterectomy a couple of years ago, and so have a harder time tracking my hormonal changes throughout the month. When my weight shot up last week, the next day I noticed two pimples on my chin. I'm 52 so I'm thinking the cause of the gain and the pimples was hormonal. Because I don't "deserve" the losses like these ones this week just like I didn't "deserve" the gains last week. Several times in the past I might have given up. I'm glad I haven't. I need to remember this for the future. I have gained and lost the same 30 or so pounds four times in the last six years. I get down to the 190s and then get discouraged and fall off the wagon. Can't let that happen this time.
08/08 199.8. It's great to be below 200 again.:)Now to try to hang on to it.
08/09 199.2. A new low.
08/10 DNW.
08/11 199.4
08/12 DNW
08/13 199
08/14 200.2. I'm a bit sick the last couple of days and I stress ate ice cream yesterday. We're in self-isolation until after our Covid test results come back. I'm almost 100% sure it's not Covid. We have only 5 active cases where I live and they all are from outside the country and self-isolated as soon as they got here. But I can't go out for walks or bike rides and honestly feel too icky to exercise anyway. Just going to focus on feeling better and will probably join you all part way through the next round.

Take care and see you then.

In the last round I got down to 168.4, then we went camping for a few days. I ate pretty good, but since we were celebrating our first anniversary we did indulge in some chocolate, cake and wine. I wasn't tracking on here either because we didn't have service so I did the best I could. Amazing how fast my body gains weight! I'm already down to low 170's and getting back into the 160's!💪

08/11: 170.6- funny how I keep going back to this weight this past week. Overall I've been tracking and exercising. My body seems to be in a plateau. Just doesn't want to budge. On the plus side I'm feeling more fit. I know that I'm in a better spot than I was before. Need to keep focusing on the positives!

08/05 - 170.6 An optimistic start
08/06 - 171.1 These ounces be playing with me!
08/07 - 172.2 What!? Really? I can only imagine what this would be if I wasn't logging and exercising. When ounces turn to pounds, it's time to double down. (so clever, right?):*
08/08 - 170.6 Back to the start; weird numbers this round. Plenty of days left to goal.
08/09 - 169.6 ...and now to keep the number thru the end if the round. That is the hard part. (I smell bacon)
08/10 - 170.5 Bacon...and ham are the devil.>:)
08/11 - 170.4 No time for exercise and necessary to eat past the IF window--family members out patient surgery went long--but turned out well. YAY! Medical providers areo:)o:)
08/12 - 171.5 In the words of@_JeffreyD_: I was naughty
08/13 - 170.5 Getting back on the IF today and off of the cheetos. 6 oz to goal doesn't seem unattainable based on the dips 'n flips of the scale this round.

08/06: 134.0 | I've been so tired of being hungry and tired for the last month, so I decided to just go all-out yesterday on food. And honestly, it's been pretty great since yesterday afternoon to feel full again, so I have NO REGRETS! Not discouraged, going to get back to it today.

ROUND 122

I’m a 5’ 8”, 45 yo Mom of 2 young ones. The lockdown had me squeaking toward 200, so I knew I had to start taking better care of myself!

Original SW: 196.2 lb (6/11/20)
GOAL Weight: 165 lb
Total weight loss to date: 12.7 lb

R121: -3.1 lb✔️

Round 122 SW: 183.5 (on 8/04/20)

8/05 – 183.9– This is not surprising as I just experienced a huge plunge in my weight, so I expect I am rebalancing now. Stationary bike and crunches today!
8/06 – 183.7 – Great weigh-in day for this week! More cardio on the schedule today
8/07 – 184.0 – Well, TOM arrived yesterday, along with its bloating and cramping, so I skipped cardio. It’s back on the schedule today
8/08 – 183.5 – Cardio has definitely helped, and some of my water retention has released – excellent!
8/09 – 183.0 - Last day of our Staycation today, then it’s back to work and home schooling tomorrow.
8/10 – 183.2 – Normal, little micro-fluctuation. It’s Monday and I’m sooooo tired. I need to avoid “tired snacking”
8/11 – 182.7 – Up, down, up, down – my own little roller coaster…
8/12 – 183.6 – Ouch, that was a bump. I had a dizzy, shaky episode after cardio yesterday, so I ate back some exercise calories to counter the low-blood sugar. I can sure feel the bloat this morning, so my body is just working something out.
8/13 - 182.5 – I’m not feeling the greatest this week, mentally and physically, so I’m just hoping for some sort of loss this round even if it’s small.
8/14 – 182.5 – Alright – good ending to this 10 day roller coaster! I’m glad I hung in there!

1 pound loss!

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Round 122
Month/Day: Weight / Comment

08/05: 205.8 / It’s great to kick off a new round. This morning’s weigh-in ties my low for the year 2020. I got below this in 2019 before the holiday season kicked in. All I can say is, it will be a fight from here on if I want to touch 199 this year. Challenge starting tonight! A good friend invited me fishing this evening, followed by a late dinner at one of our favorite greasy spoons. (not sure if all our international friends know what a “greasy spoon” is. Ha! Is it a global term?) Maybe I will set a mini goal of avoiding the French Fries. (chips, crisps)
08/06: 208 / …yesterday was a glorious festival of poor decisions with a double dash of salt.
08/07: 208 / Calories yesterday were on budget, but macros were not. My diet yesterday included a couple pieces of candy, a piece of blueberry coffee cake that DW made, a couple drinx and a bag of VERY salty popcorn at the outdoor concert in our town last night.
08/08: 208.2 / I have been naughty.
08/09: 208.4 / pizza
08/10: 208 / Monday at last. Weekend was a net no-change which is good.
08/11: 210.2 / I hate typing this number in this morning, but it is exactly why I am a member of this group. An unexamined life can get out of control before you know it. If I can average 207 over the next 3 days, I will meet my goal.
08/12: 207 / Drank more water, ate less food/salt. All around better pie-hole management. When I hold a 3-pound weight in my hand, it is hard to believe I lost that much in 24 hours.
08/13: 205.4 / I have been nice. Listening to the mini-me from the other shoulder whispering into my ear.
08/14: 205.4 / Goals for the round are met! Ten day average for the round (207.4) is less than the previous round average. Had to do it the hard way. Overall, I am happy with the trend, thanks to this group. The goal will be harder to meet as I get closer to my OGW. I think I could be happy in maintenance if my ten day average maintained the same as this morning’s weigh-in.

Hope to see you all next round!

behavioral goal - no mindless snacking

Day/Weight/Comment

08/05 - 221 no snacking
08/06 - 219.8 - still in the rapid water loss phase of things - no snacking
08/07 - 220.6 - pizza for dinner, still under calorie goal but over on the sodium - no snacking
08/08 - 220.4 - one small snack - 7 pringles, logged it and still under calories
08/09 - 219.6

08/10 - 219.0 Goal met!! 4 days left - I think I will revise my goal weight to 218.5, but since my scale only registers 0.2 changes I will go for 218.6
08/11 - 218.6 I think there may be some dehydration going on there - upset stomach all day yesterday - will try to avoid a rebound
08/12 - 217.4 ?? I don't think that can be right, but that is what the scale says. I will hold on the fanfare until I see what the next 2 days bring.
08/13 - IDK First scale reading was 216.8 - don't think that can be right. Tried again and got 219.4, I hope that's not right. I was sedentary yesterday but I stayed under my calories. 3rd time it was 218.2 - maybe right ??
08/14 - 218.2 I am pleased with that!

Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 122
