In related news, I went into strict quarantine in March (and still haven't left the house more than 3 times!) and gained TWENTY POUNDS. In 5 months! I've attached two pictures that tell the story: you can see that I had a nice downward trend line until March, and then whoosh! Up it went!
I fell off about the same time (a little after) and I have the same issue! Now my body is battling with me and trying to randomly gain when I do all the things I did before to lose.

I guess I am like @Hilogirl2018 and many others on here. I was down to 138 my goal weight in March and I fit into my amazing wedding dress (size 6) that I was going to wear on 8/8/20 to marry the love of my life after 6-1/2 years of waiting with around 200 guests. Then the pandemic hit! We downsized and changed venues over and over to accommodate everything that kept changing. We went from 210 people to 100, then to 80, then to 40, then they shut everything down in my state and our minister said now or never and you can only have your children present. So on 7/25/20 in a $30.00 dress off of amazon in my backyard I got married! Maybe next year we can redo it, but nothing was going to stop us from saying I do, not even this stupid pandemic! I am now 23 pounds heavier than I was 5 months ago and am very uncomfortable in my clothes. It is time to get back on track and start taking care of myself again. The stress from the wedding and the everything else going on in the world was an excuse for me to eat. Not anymore. I missed the first couple of days, but if I put it off then it's just an excuse for me to continue down the wrong path. So here we go!
8/18 - 166.1 ouch! This one hurt, I'm not going to lie
8/19 - 164.9 This one is a little better. I wasn't great yesterday, but I was better. I am on track for today, so far. So we will see what happens.

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! 😁
8/17 116.0 I’m having trouble getting as much protein as I want. I just can’t eat that much. Had some celery with Laughing Cow Asiago because I needed protein and crunch! Still below protein goal.
8/18 116.0 Someone said BBQ and that sounds delicious for dinner! I know just the place! We’ll see.

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.
8/17: 228.0 (-0.2)/19.4 (0.0). I snacked a bit in the evening, but stayed pretty well within my plan. For the first time in a LONG time, I got to Monday with NO WEEKEND BUMP! I'm really looking forward to the temperature going down. My gym equipment is outside, and it's just MISERABLE out there.
8/18: 228.0 (0.0)/19.4 (0.0). Yesterday wasn't great or horrible. I'm heading into the office today for my one time per week (I telecommute for the most part since COVID-19). I ate fine, but I am admittedly weighing myself a couple of hours earlier than I usually do during the weekend. I'm feeling a little bit "blah," but I'm going to keep showing my @$$ up here anyway. I hope you all have a great day.
8/19: 228.0 (0.0)/19.4 (0.0). I had a really great salad last night for dinner, but I probably went a bit over regarding my calories. That being said, I will ALWAYS give myself permission to have a really great salad; the long-term health benefits will always outweigh a calorie count on any given day. My father-in-law is over right now picking figs off my tree (I HATE them), and he brought over some tamales. First, I'm not sure yet if my in-laws made them. If they did, they are EXQUISITE, and I would have one for lunch, and one for dinner. If they are from somewhere else AND not "worth it," they will find the trash can. If they're good, I'll have some either way, but I will have my moderation plan firmly in place. I'm going to try again today to exercise. I'm shooting for right after work (which means 5pm, since I'm working from home today).

I use the Libra app on my phone -- I need to update goals and timeline since it's been awhile but its super helpful for me to see trends rather than just daily weigh-ins. There's a statistics page and a settings page - I have mine set for 10 smoothing days and 7 days for forecasting.
It also has BMI and body mass graphs (I don't really use because I know my scale's body fat % is not accurate but I do input the daily body fat % into it just for reference.4 -
@jenn990205 I am sure we're not alone in this! We worked hard before the pandemic hit, ate through the stress, and have learned from it, right? I'm being very forgiving of myself because this is a once-in-a-lifetime global crisis, and if I didn't keep it together perfectly, it's okay. I'm ready to tackle this NOW. We aren't truly starting over, either because we already have the skill set get back to where we were. We can do this! We've already proven it!4

@musicsax Thank you so much! I am seeing many familiar names and it absolutely does feel like coming back to old friends. Wish I hadn't left! Ah, well. Looking forward to following everyone's paths again, including yours!4

@CamandJarvis Yep, our graphs shoot up on basically the same timeline. Doesn't it always seem harder the second time around? To be honest, I have tried to lose a couple of times since I started regaining, but I couldn't seem to stick with it, and I kept giving myself the same excuse: there's an unprecedented pandemic, be easy on yourself! I still feel like it's important to be gentle with myself for losing my progress during a REALLY stressful time, but I've finally drawn a distinction between not beating myself up about mistakes and creating some discipline in my daily habits. I don't need to waste time feeling bad when I mess up, but I still need to make an effort to work on my goals every day! That's the key difference.
The other thing I realized is that I need to go back to what worked before, and that's what I'm doing by rejoining here. Posting daily and reading other people's struggles and triumphs lets me know I'm not alone. Accountability and being part of a great community of caring people works. Tracking every calorie works. I didn't mention it in my first post, but IFing on a 16:8 schedule works for me (I eat noon to 8 p.m.). I'm prepared to adjust things if I don't feel like the same things are working as well, but that's where I'm starting- back to the habits I began with. I know the first week is going to be extra hard, though! Starting is worse than just sticking with it. Gotta remember that!4 -

I'm 100% with you! My body is just in that annoying transition time which it fights every old habit I had with gain instead of loss. I know it'll come in time, I'm just impatient because I know it works. I need to get back into consistent IF (I did the 16:8 and from 11-7 prior to moving to Texas) but I'm not sure what my new schedule will be once I start commuting so I've kinda made that excuse for not starting back up now. I know, logically, I could create the habit again and just shift my eating window based on work schedule, but I'm not always following my own logic here.
We've so got this!

🌾🎍🌵🌴🌳🏖🎡⛱🌳🌴🌵🎍🌾
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.

@_JeffreyD_ Nice! It's our first season with one and we are hooked! I always wanted one, but the whole quarantine situation made us take the plunge. I even heard my husband say as we were talking about next summer he mentioned us still having the CSA, so I'm glad he's thinking about it that way!
Yes this has been our third year. It challenges us to eat better. Sometimes it's hard to find ways to eat some of the different things we see.

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.
08/17 - 316.6 - And after 2 days of eating, not too bad of an uptick. And down 3.7 over last week. I start a new job today, so... nervous. The cortisol could also have something to do with the uptick.
08/18 - 313.9 - First day of the new job in the books. Although I don't relish a drive into Philly, after 2 weeks of training I only have to go in 1 day/week and everything else I can do from home. Really nice weight drop from yesterday and the new job means I must walk more than usual, which almost doubled my normal amount. 4.8 lb. loss from last week. I haven't decided if I want to do a 5:2 or OMAD once I get under 300 (to slow my weight loss). Any advice would be appreciated!
08/19 - 312.8- AFTER a day of eating, my weight goes down... what gives? One really great thing about the new job is that I'm getting in an extra 2k of steps each day. Yesterday, I was down 4.8 from the previous week. Today, that zooms to 6.9 lbs. So, I ordered some pants for work that were 4 inches smaller than those I wore last year. And I have to return them. They were already a bit loose and at the rate I'm losing, it's just not worth it. So, I ordered replacement another 2 inches smaller (52). They might be a bit tight to start, but they'll be hinging off my by the holiday season.

Hmmm, on my walk tonight it was smokey. You could see a haze (I live in New Mexico so it is usually crystal clear). I could also smell smoke. Probably from a forest fire, maybe in Arizona. This has become an annual event in the summer, it used to be rare.
Goals for these 10 days: no after dinner snacking, early to bed, strength training at least twice a week.

SW: 139lbs GW: 115lbs
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!

Day/Weight/Comment
08/15: 130.0 lbs -I have officially lost 30 lbs in 10 months! Dinner is calorie dense tonight, but this morning is my long run and my early eating is on par to keep me at calorie goal. Fingers crossed I only go up about .2 lbs 
08/16: 130.6 lbs - I knew I would be up a little from dinner. already pre-planned Mon-Wed to ensure I'm back on track. And I have a make-up run tonight.
08/17: 131.8 lbs - not sure why the fluctuate up is so high... just need to be better
08/18: 130.8 lbs - stayed on track with eating and had a really good strength workout and run
08/19: 130.4 lbs - slightly distracted lower strength workout and shorter run last night. Today is a longer run only. Slowly trending down.
08/20: 131.0 lbs - this one is a mystery since I ate just below calories. Body must be repairing with how sore my hamstrings are from Tues strength workout

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 123 (round 55 for me ) I'm in for another round (as always!) – 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 – Bathroom being refurbished and is almost finished before they move on to the downstairs cloakroom. Miles are more of a challenge to achieve whilst the workmen are here, but I'm trying to get an hour or so in before they arrive and then some in the evening around commitments with MIL care. Stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, really want to keep the 10 days binge free again!End of round 69 134.2 lbsKeep calm – we're all in this together!

Day/Weight/Comment
08/15 131.8 wow !! Got on the scales 3 times to check, a new low this year. 5.66 miles walked yesterday, 100 calories in credit, all macros in green.
08/16 131.8 – happy this stuck. 4.55 miles walked yesterday, took 2 year old DGS out for the day, hence reduced mileage. 57 calories & 4g carbs over.
08/17 132.2 – happy with that considering walking mileage is really down with one thing and another. Walked only 2.31 miles yesterday; in fact didn't actually get out to walk, that was cleaning and pottering in the house and garden !! 249 calories in credit, 13g carbs over.
DGS still doing well, on 4 hourly obs now instead of hourly, pain relief IV & catheter removed – all looking positive.
08/18 132.2 - 7.14 miles walked yesterday, 642 calories in credit, all other macros in green.
08/19 131.8 - 7.08 miles walked yesterday, 352 calories in credit, 29g carbs over.
08/20 131.8 – no walking yesterday, sat at MIL whilst boiler replaced & then continual rain throughout the day , hence 171 calories, 79g carbs & 1g fat over . Lucky to retain number !
