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.

8/15 116.0 Oh well, this too may pass. Still well below ANY previously set goal. Out to dinner with friends last night. Absolutely no way to track Italian Chopped Salad in a darkened dining room with everything in 1/4” squares. It was expensive and really not great. Oh well live and learn. I should have gotten my standard burger/no bun.
8/16 117.0 The little bit of salad I brought home tasted better after sitting in the refrigerator over night. I added a little blue cheese and pepperoni to it to bring the protein up, still really short of my changed macro! Sat out on the driveway social distancing with 2 neighbors. It was 109 degrees, I drank 2 quarts of ice water in those 2 hours. Total of 5 or 6 all day. Supposed to be 115-116 every day this week. Life in the desert! 😁7 -

Total W/BF% lost: 12.6/1.4
Average W/BF% lost per round: 4.67/0.52
Round 123 goal(s): 2 lbs. More importantly, lift weights at least 2x/wk, and rowing machine at least 2x/wk.
8/15: 229.2 (+0.8)/19.5 (+0.1). My other brother-in-law and his wife came over last night. I had 0 drinks, and no dessert, but my meal was probably a bit "heavy" for what I'm currently used to. I don't think I'm having any other visitors this weekend, so I'm hoping this weekend will be a good one for weight loss/fitness. It's REALLY hot, though. I'm a little worried that California's rolling blackouts might disrupt the flow of my day.
8/16: 228.2 (-1.0)/19.4 (-0.1). It's REALLY hot right now. I didn't do anything yesterday, but I stayed within plan. I keep waking up early, and I'm having trouble getting back to sleep. I think it has something to do with my wife liking the temperature higher than I do. I'm super-sensitive in my old age; I really like the temperature to be no higher than 76-78 degrees, where my wife would prefer things in the mid-eighties.

08/16 - 156.1 - I really have no idea where this came from. I had a very small breakfast, a few bites of a charcuterie board fam threw together, and 2 small ribs with some cooked spinach. And a crunch bar for lunch because it was that or nothing and I was getting nauseous. Probably not enough water but couldn't keep up - working outside in a heat advisory. Still drank a lot more water than I normally would if I were inside during the day. DOMS are still around pretty bad so working on that today again.

Previous Day's Comments08/15 - Holy DOMS am I sore! I nearly fell out of bed and then I had to use to disabled bar things by my toilet to be able to get down to it without collapsing or crying from soreness. I suppose today is my rest day and I'll be doing some stretching. Didn't hit my step goal yesterday but my legs huuuurt and I gave myself some grace. Goal will be to hit my steps and move some of this soreness out of my system today.

It could still be from the DOMS. In the past my weight has climbed over the course of a couple of days and the only thing I was able to relate to was DOMS in my legs. Leg workouts are such a killer but in such a good way!4 -
I'd like to join the challenge. I started back on my eating plan today and I need some accountability!

08/15: 286.6 / am going to fast until this evening as I have a heavy night out tonight. If the weather stays dry (doubtful right now) I'm going to my first karaoke in months outside. Im really looking forward to it. I've made the change from beer to white rum and diet coke so will save a lot of calories there, but expecting weight to jump up tomorrow due to water based on having a meal out.
08/16: 284.6 / had an amazing night last night, so good to be actually out out! Went to the resturant, didn't have a started because I wanted to save room for banoffee pie. Ate my steak, couldn't finish it, nearly cried when I realised I was not going to get my banoffee. Got my banoffee to go and had it to break my fast today 😊 16/8 is seriously helping me to reduce my appetite!

@quiltingjaine
Yes the question we all ask ourselves when making desserts. Do I really need all this!
DIL made the cheese cake which was yummy using almond flour, crushed pecans, butter, etc instead of graham crackers. I liked it. She served it for a friend of theirs that lives alone that they invited over for his birthday Friday night and sent an extra piece home with him and then served it to us Saturday night and sent an extra piece home with us. She was just left with one final slice as leftovers. Smart combining 2 separate guests and diminishing the chance of leftovers.
Yes Covid19 is cramping our social too ... interfacing with my family only (adult children no kiddos) is getting old. But I still enjoy seeing them!

08/15 160.0 I've been doing morning walks before it gets too hot. I hope to keep this routine when school starts this week (online). Already I've been spending a lot of time at my desk preparing. It's funny how when I become more active, I can't stand being sedentary. I have to keep getting up to move. It's giving me lots of opportunities to get housework done (next break I'll dust the living room). My house is pretty clean now ; ).
I hope I make it and stay below 160 this round.

08/16 161.4 I did go overboard on the carbs and probably salt since we ordered food. It was all healthy, but not portion controlled.

08/15: 207.4
08/16: 207.8 / The last couple days are pop-ups from the last day of last round. I can’t imagine why. :-p What is so bad about two days in a row with big messy cheese burgers for lunch. Friday’s was at a high-end gourmet restaurant for a work meeting. Saturday’s was at a local yocal dive after a morning of fishing with a friend. Both were delicious. Then last night, dinner out with some friends. I guess I should be happy I am only this heavy.
Glad to be back at it again this round.

Ultimate Goal: 185 lbs., but realistically 15-18% bodyfat.
10-day Goal: 309.0
Medium range goal - I turn 60 in early October, so the goal is to be under 300. It would mean I've lost over 100 lbs. in just under a year AND first time under 300 since my late 40's.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/15 - 312.4 - My biggest drop is always from Thursday (my last meal @ 6PM) thru Saturday @ noon, when I have my next meal (yes, 42 hour fast). I am surprised how much I've dropped and it looks like I'll make my medium-range goal of being under 300 by early October. The difference is that I didn't put on as much weight after eating on Thursday. Of course, the lack of stress from job searching (I start on Monday) probably adds to lessening cortisol, too.
08/16 - 314.6 - Not bad. I had a really good food day yesterday, even if my first meal gave me a bloated feeling. Instead of using keto bread for my morning avocado base, I made a quickie keto bun. It toasted SO much better.

Round 122 — ⬇️ 5lbs 😀
08/15: 152.2 So excited to start my second round! Have been slowly increasing exercise and water intake! Hope my back cooperates!
08/16: As a rule I give myself sundays off from the scale! Rode my bike to downtown, met a new friend, enjoyed a lovely sunny day!

I'm in for round #123!
I've done this before, successfully; I know that it can be done. My challenge is ignoring a hurting body, and/or not getting up and moving-because *that* is more comfortable. I want ME back. Oh, and I also signed up for a virtual 5k today (to be completed in Sept) and I'm doing a *live* 5k in Dec. If I don't want to be thoroughly embarrassed, guess I'd better move my bum!
I’ve been struggling with bad back pain for two years, it is debilitating. I had been maintaining my weight successfully regardless and then CoVid hit and I lost control! Well, no more. I started back on yoga (with physio’s permission), and also following some of the exercise routines from the premium MFP!
You can do this!!!! The pain can bite our booties!

🌾🎍🌵🌴🌳🏖🎡⛱🌳🌴🌵🎍🌾
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 Focus:Never give up! Never give in!- 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
Recent Back Story:2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅JGM10D ~|~ Round 123
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.🔹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.

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.
