🌾🎍🌵🌴🌳🏖🎡⛱🌳🌴🌵🎍🌾

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:

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

Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:

2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

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 replacements another 2 inches smaller (52). They might be a bit tight to start, but they'll be hinging off me by the holiday season.
08/20 - 311.2 - For the first time during a fast day, I cheated. I was so hungry last night I broke down and made some air-popped popcorn for a small snack. Nevertheless, nice drop.

08/19 147.2 I haven't been here since round 106! Back in March. 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!

As you can see, I have been stress-eating my way through the pandemic and my hard-earned maintenance weight of 127 lbs became less and less important to me as time went on.

Well, enough time has gone on, and I've decided to prioritize myself again. Accountability in this wonderful group, daily weighing, and the most road-tested ingredient of my previous success: PATIENCE . I am loving seeing all of the encouraging posts (this is such a positive corner of the internet!), and I'm looking forward to rooting for all of your success!

08/20 145.2 I know better than to get too excited about being down 2 lbs overnight. But it's still encouraging to see the number going down!

No significant change in my weight for 4 days even though nothing else has changed. Too early to say it is a WL stall, but I am thinking it probably is the start of one.

Goals for these 10 days: no after dinner snacking, early to bed, strength training at least twice a week.

Round #122 < 3.8lbs

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!

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!

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 !
08/21 131.2 – wow ! Another new low not just for this year but since June last year!! 12.14 miles walked yesterday, 318 calories in credit, 25g fat over.

5'4" and my start date to a healthier life was 160.2 lbs in October 2019.

Round 122: -1.8 lbs
Goal of round 123: -1.0 lb

My weight loss is slowing since I am within 10 lbs of ultimate goal weight of 120 lbs

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
08/21: 131.4 lbs - another mystery as I was 20 calories below last night. It was an upper strength workout though. Body must be retaining the water, TOM coming, or a mix of the two

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!
08/17: 283.8 / busy day today and a planned McDonald's. Most likely see a bit of a rise on scales in the morning thanks to fast food!
08/18: 283.8 HITT at the gym last night, I'm aching big time today!! Going to take a gentle walk later and hopefully loosen up a bit!!!!
08/19: 282.6 lovely day out yesterday, involving yet another meal out! Again, couldn't finish the meal! Appetite correction for the win! Out for a picnic and a long play in the park today. Am staying out tonight so will probably be a DNW tomorrow.
08/20: 282.6 weighed myself when I got in today. Very very hungover, didn't eat anything but a slice of toast and a banana in the morning - first time I've broken my fast early in a month, went to the gym tonight and died. I can't believe how much of a negative difference it made to my work out to have not eaten and I'm probably a bit dehydrated too to be honest. Have another work out tomorrow so hopefully will be much better. Having a Chinese take out in a minute because I don't want to cook and I have earnt a fair few calories!!
08/21: 283.8 easily explained by Chinese takeout and sore muscles from yesterday. It's the first rise I've had this week so I'm not too bothered. Busy day getting ready to go away tomorrow. Weather forecast is appalling for our holiday so need to get some wet weather activities to entertain the small ones!

R123: Continue checking in daily! “Success is the sum of small efforts repeated daily … day in day out” - Robert Collier.
🎯Mini Goal: get out & stay out of the 30s
10 weeks till 60th birthday 💖
5 months till next physical

08/15 - 235 - Ready for 2nd round of being back on track and checking in daily! Don’t worry about the little bump up on the scale.
08/16 - 234.5 - My son lost 80 lbs and his wife 50 since February. We had dinner at their house last night. Never thought I would eat cheesecake and take more pieces home on a diet. My first time trying Keto and finding it hard to mentally adjust monitoring low carbs instead of low fat.
08/17 - 234.4 - My weekly weigh in on Monday! Down 4 lbs from last week. Calories have been high over the weekend though I’m on target for the net carbs. Need to work on getting my total calorie intake lower.
08/18 - 233.4 - 2 weeks alcohol free which is a big accomplishment for me

08/19 - 233.4 - Ready for a new day and repeat yesterday's calorie and carb success! Need to figure out how/when to get more exercise today. I only made it 1 mile this morning and our dog got sick. Then had to take the car in for a recall. Soooooo No excuses! I just need to do it … heat or no heat! Went through the pantry and tossed everything that is not friendly LOL. We don't need that battle when trying to select meals or snacks!
08/20 - 233.5 - Goal today is to plan meals for the next week and shop for those groceries!

08/21 - 232.4 - If I slip up once and jump back into good habits the next hour instead of next day or waiting till Monday I won’t be out of control all weekend. Telling myself wouldn’t it be great to wake up Monday morning knowing I was in control all weekend! Note to Self: It’s worth it. Just do it!

08/17 - 145.5 - Not a big surprise after my weekend.
08/18 - 146 - The weekend is still creeping up on me.
08/19 - 145.5 - That's better.
08/20 - 146 - At this point I'm not sure if it's my eating this week or my stress levels. I have to start tracking my food better on a daily basis.
08/21 - 145 - I tracked my calories very closely yesterday and managed to save enough for a glass of wine in the evening. For the first time since late May, we don't have a socially distant patio "happy hour" planned this weekend with family so I'm hoping I can maintain this weight for Monday.

08/15 DNW. Camping this weekend. I haven't done a horrible job but I've definitely had a few things I wouldn't normally while trying to lose weight. It's ok, lake calories dont count 😁

08/16 198.8 That's ok! I knew it would go up a little, I'm just happy I'm still in Onederland. Back at it today. Happy sunday!

08/17 197.8 Down a little

I got a compliment yesterday about losing weight. I'm going to use that as fuel to keep going! Happy Monday, hope you all have a great week!

08/18 196.6 Today is my sons birthday! We always let them pick what they would like for dinner on their birthdays and he chose my favorite barbeque restaurant. I plan to make good choices, but it's going to be hard!

08/19 196.2 I was able to stay under my calorie goal yesterday. I didn't get in enough water so my goal today is make sure I do. I have a long drive this morning, so I see many pit stops in my future 😄 Happy hump day!

08/20 196.2 Did good on water yesterday. Hope you all have a great day!

08/21 195.8 I feel like I should probably start exercising soon. I was waiting because I have knee and back problems and was hoping that if I got some weight off it would help ease the pain a little. I'm almost down 20 lbs and still in pain so now I'm hoping that exercise will help. I'm not sure. I'll just start slow. Slow and steady wins the race, right?!

Birthday dinner, but enjoyed a walk in the evening.

Rediscovered podcasts, which I love walking and swimming to. Will go for a walk once the kids are in bed.

17/8 129.7kg
No walk today, just trying to catch up on the housework instead. I found individual portions of brie, which really helps avoid going overboard on it.

18/8 129.7kg
Started metformin today. Feeling really down on myself, but I know that this is what I need to do to deal with this.

19/8 129.6kg
My weekly trip into the Uni today. It is nice to go out and see other people, even if we have to stay distanced. It is built on a hill, so I also did eleventy billion steps.

20/8 129.4kg <-- Woo, mini goals!
Picked up a bad cough, so a quiet day today. Hopefully I can sleep okay tonight.

21/8 129.4kg
I put my favourite pasta sauce on my chicken for dinner. A easier way to reduce carbs and increase protein without feeling like I am missing out.

Best part of yesterday was that I did not hit exhaustion until the evening!! So nice not to feel like a zombie for half the day.

ROUND 123

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: 13.7 lb
17.5lb to go!

R121: -3.1 lb✔️
R122: -1 lb ✔️

Round 123 SW: 182.5 (on 8/14/20)

08/15 – 183.0 – My husband and I had a day off from our food tracking and got take-out lunch. The rest of the day we weren’t very hungry, so half a pound doesn’t seem too bad.
08/16 – 183.0 – Staying stable. It looks like 183 is my current weight “speed bump.” I just need to be diligent to be able to make it over the speed bump and back down.
08/17 – 182.7 – Trying to be gentler on myself and make sure I’m not treating this as a race to the finish line. Consistent, reasonable effort is all that in needed.
08/18 – 181.9 – I have a huge work project keeping me at my desk more this week, so there is less exercise, but I’m still be diligent about logging my food.
08/19 - 181.1 – Looks like a gentler approach is helping this week. Just letting my body guide the way
08/20 – 181.5 – A little bump, but I’m still feeling really positive about this Round!
08/21 -182.0 – And here the roller coaster goes again. I’m feeling a little bloated, so probably water retention.
