Birthday dinner, but enjoyed a walk in the evening.
16/8 130.0kg
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.
22/8 129.0kg
Still sick, but my COVID test came back negative. Not really hungry, so nowhere near my calorie budget. Got a bunch of sugar free drops to help me drink more water. Just trying to rest and keep hydrated.
23/8 128.4kg
Another quiet day. I know this big a drop is mainly due to not eating much yesterday, so expect to be a bit higher tomorrow.

08/16–178.2 I am having such a hard time getting/keeping my head in the game. Hopefully I will be able to make some progress with my habits this round. If I do that, the weight loss always follows. I’m in a bit of a funk right now,so falling back to comfort foods has not been helpful.
08/17–177.6 Got in a nice long walk and made better choices. Baby steps.
08/18–178.2 Walked, so that’s three days in a row.
08/19–178.2 Walked last night but needed to do a better job with intake.
08/20–178.2
08/21–178.2
08/22–178.4 I did better at work yesterday about moving around more. Hit the stairs a few times, walked up and down the hall a little, used my standing desk, too. In light of my new work situation, I am going to have to be intentional about these things. It’s easy to get drug down into the abyss of never-ending work that virtual learning is becoming and never lift my head out of my work. My intake wasn’t bad yesterday, but the level of movement during my day has to be addressed. God, I miss school as it used to be!!!
08/23–178.2 Did MUCH better with what I ate yesterday and with movement, but I’m still stuck. I did my meal planning for this week though and bought the groceries. Will use today to meal prep, so hopefully next round will be better.

08/17 183.6 kindof surprised by this goal is to make it last and not jump back up
08/18 183.4 completed strength workout and was mostly good with eating. Passed on ice cream with the kids
08/19 185.2 no clue what happened here
08/20 184.6 coming back down, didn’t do great had an emotional day and that was reflected in my eating
08/21 184.8 did strength work out, did not fully track meals
08/22 184.8 holding steady here right now but my tracking has not been happening well

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 123
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
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.
08/17: 207.2 / I would call this a victory. For the weekend, not bad.
08/18: 207.8 / Anniversary today! 41 years with DW! For some of you, yes that means I am old enough to be your father. But, not too old to keep learning. Dinner out today will probably make some waves tomorrow on the ten-day chart.
BTW, with four days in a row with an identical third digit (7) I feel out of place. I jump around so much this never happens. Strangely, my last two ten-day averages have that same digit.
08/19: 206.6 / Ok, I like this “wave.” We went out for lunch yesterday instead of out for the evening meal. Made a good choice or two. Had a short bike ride to pick up our CSA (we have one too @kblanc14 !) and a walk around the block at dusk.
08/20: 205.4 / It’s low tide. High tide is coming, but maybe not as high. I am trying to get low tide lower and high tide lower.
08/21: 207.8 / H2O
08/22: 207.8 / lucky 7
08/23: 207.6 / I think my bod is trying to tell me it likes 207. My mind doesn’t mind it either as a place to hover. But, it is too close to 210 and I want to maintain just a hair lower than this. In fact as stated above, I want to touch 199, just to say I did.
I am thinking that a realistic maintenance goal for me needs to be a seven to ten pound range, but no greater than 210.
NSV: XL shirts look way too baggy on me now. I just purchased a few new shirts for work, size L.

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!
08/22 - 232 - I took yesterday off from exercising and just relaxed. But I did talk DH into a 1 mile stroll with the dog after dinner … beautiful evening. Today I’ll be back to my morning 3 mile walk + biking on my recumbent inside.
08/23 - 231.5 Nice seeing a drop though it might be because I slept in. Walked 4.5 miles yesterday but then no bike because we went to help my sister with her internet. Then birthday dinner celebration for my SIL. Made a low carb low sugar blackberry cobbler … DH & I used Keto ice cream and served Bluebell to our SIL.5 -

08/23 - 155.0 - It is okie-dokie, I knew that was coming. Yesterday was a weird day for me -- forgot to weigh, ignored my water bottle even though I was thirsty for some reason. I think I got so sick of the taste of plain water I couldn't bring myself to it but I'm back to drinking it this am. Was outside and sweating like crazy with no source of water in the afternoon and couldn't catch up once home. Today should be calm and I'll be focusing on water intake and light meals. Hopefully it'll drop back down tomorrow if I'm diligent. I might try for a walk once my fitbit is charged and no plans come up.
08/24
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.
08/16 - 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.
08/16 - Working my way down now. Went swimming to beat the heat yesterday and tried to actually do something to raise my heart rate a little while I was in the pool. Not a huge place, especially with the kids splashing around and having fun, but underwater swimming helped me with that a bit. Had to go get bloodwork and urine test for my appt on Wednesday with the VA and boy am I hungry now. Going to try a yoga workout later today once I get some food and more water in me to make up for it. Not a lot of blood, but enough I don't want to overdo it. Goal is to meet step goal again. Last few days, I've barely made it to my 7225 goal but today I'm going for 8000 steps. Legs still quite sore from leg day on Friday and I need to get that worked out anyway, a nice walk should help.
08/17 - I don't know... I really don't know. I wasn't as active yesterday because work got really crazy. Food wasn't terrible -- I had a grilled chicken caesar salad for lunch and a small bit of leftovers for dinner. Could've drank more water but even that wasn't horrible. I'm still a little sore but nothing like the previous days so that's dropping off. Whyyyyy, body, are you torturing me? Guess that's the motivation I really need to go work out this morning, even though I was debating not doing it because I'm tired. Wake up call, much?
08/18 - So confused with my body... Not sure where this came from. I figured after dinner (I made my favorite meal from home) I had gained or at least maintained my higher weight. So confused. Ran with the pup yesterday morning (with walking warmup, cooldown, and a short break we went 0.71mi) then I took her for a nice walk after dinner to reach my step goal. Today I think Fam is doing arms this morning so I'm going to join her if I can hurry up and wake up enough to function.
08/19 - Not holding my breath on that one. Fasted until about 130 and ate out in San Antonio (had to drive fam there to pick up jeep parts so she can be mobile. Dinner may not be much, if anything at all, because of how filling the food was and how late lunch was. No workout today due to an early start getting to San A in time for a WebEx meeting (not ideal to have a video call while being tossed around on construction roads haha!) Definitely in need of water the rest of the day and hopefully it'll keep me satiated enough through dinner so I don't overdo it if I do end up eating.
08/20
08/21 - I did not expect that, especially feeling as heavy as I do right now. I didn't drink anything but water from the time of posting until I went to bed. I did have a tiny slice of pizza (it took 2 of my normal bite sizes to finish it off) I wasn't hungry for much else, honestly. Doing yoga at about 9 with Fam so I may go for a nice walk around the neighborhood after I replenish my lifeblood (drink my coffee) before walking over to hers. As long as everyone's work stays calm enough, we all plan to (safely) walk mainstreet before too many tourists arrive for the weekend.

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.
08/22 – 182.1 – Well, this is discouraging. Not sure what’s going here, but I’ll keep hanging in there.
08/23 – 181.9 – Just trying to be a little tighter on my calorie window and my logging to try to push under 182 for good

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
08/22: 131.0 lbs - Nice to see the scale go down instead of up. Rain had other ideas for my run last night. I had a mini binge (2 handfuls of peanuts and dove chocolates) so I'm shocked happily surprised to see a .4 loss
08/23: 130.2 lbs - probably not going to lose the 1 lb this 10 day challenge

8/15 - 182.8 - 1702 ☹️ - night time popcorn and ice cream ☹️
How did I get into this nighttime snacking habit? Aaaack! My ideal this round is no snacks after dinner; my primary goal is, if I must snack, make it one serving of air-popped popcorn. That would still cut calories and I can work on the popcorn monster later. One habit at a time, right?
8/16 - 184 🤯- 1944 😡
WTH is wrong with me? I had a big lunch, reasonable dinner, and still snacked last night. I wasn’t hungry, just wanted the cozy comfort. My calories have been above my goal for 5 days. Just pitiful. Well, I’m boiling eggs for salmon-egg-guacamole salad for lunch, and I’m going to ask DH to ask me “do you really want that?” if/when I head for the kitchen. Maybe I need one of those oink oink piggies on the fridge and cupboard doors! I really am disappointed in myself. I think it’s partly the stress of our crazy times, but gaining back weight I worked hard to lose doesn’t help. I don’t need hugs, I need a kick in the pants!
8/17 - 183 😐 - 1641 😐 - snack 🍿+ whole-grain English muffin & almond butter
I did a little better yesterday. I did spend calories digging turf out of hard clay, and was hungry last night, but stuck to air-popped popcorn and muffin/almond butter, so healthy snacks and no ice cream. I’m aiming for just popcorn. Calories were only slightly over my goal for the round, so that’s an improvement. More garden labor today! Have a great Monday, my friends!
8/18 - 182.6 🙂 - 1306 😁 - snack 🍿+ 1/2 oz aged Havarti
Better!
8/19 - 182.2 🙂 - 1246 😁 - snack 🍿
We are having a string of gorgeous days here. I’m expanding more garden beds and replacing some of the few introduced plant species I have with natives. Very satisfying! Lots of wildlife! And it keeps my mind off food for myself. 🦋🐝🐞
8/20 - 182.8 😐 - 1769 ☹️ - snack 🍿+ Smirnoff strawberry kiwi
A little over goal, and I didn’t actually need the beverage, but.... All good, a light menu planned today. Off for a walk!
8/21 - 182.2 😐 - 1386 😊 - snack 🍿
DH wanted Thai carry out yesterday, and though I love the curries, I stuck with a summer roll and chicken satay. Yay me! I have a leftover summer roll for lunch today - yum! Happy Friday, all!
8/22 - 182.2 😐 - 1680 😐 - snacks 🍿🍨☹️
I had very low calories going all day but got the munchies last night. I do better with more nutrient-dense meals, so will pay better attention to that. Otherwise, all good! Wishing you all a safe & lovely Saturday.
8/23 - 182.6 😐 - 1342 🙂 - snack 🍿😐
Not sure why I’m up a little — probably delayed reaction and/or normal fluctuation. DH is making his yummy chicken Alfredo with chickpea penne for dinner, so I’m planning a very low-cal lunch and a walk when it cools down this evening.

08/14 …..209.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
08/15 …..209.6 ….. Good luck everyone!
08/16 …..209.5 ….. I love everyone’s honesty, whether it be the good, the bad or the ugly. We are never alone on our journeys, no matter which stage of the journey we are in.
08/17 …..209.3 ….. Very pleased with this, weight for now. I picked up the ashes today of my beautiful kitty Reeces. Not much of an appetite after that, but I’m glad to have her home with me again.
08/18 …..209.4 ….. simple fluctuation.
08/19 …..209.6 …..
08/20 …..209.5 …..
08/21 …..209.2 ….. Better!
08/22 …..209.3 ….. Just a normal tiny bounce. Yesterday was a good day.
08/23 …..209.3 ….. Any loss per 10 day round is my goal so I am on track with a loss, though a small one. I am going to plan a very careful day so I will stay at a loss for tomorrow’s final weigh-in this round. Today is Sunday and I always get in lots of movement on Sundays so that will help. Have a wonderful day everyone!
08/24 …..xxxxx …..

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?!
08/22 196.8 T.O.M showed up this morning. Totally unexpected too. I'm hoping that the 1 pound jump is just from that and it'll be gone as quick as it showed up! Have a great weekend!
08/23 196.6 I didnt do great yesterday on water intake and my food was packed full of carbs all day. We were on the run all day and most of my food was fast food. I was over on calories by 70. I'm not beating myself up though, just going to make better choices today 🤷♀️

@deepwoodslady Donna, you said, “Any loss per 10 day round is my goal so I am on track with a loss, though a small one.” Those small ones add up!5

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.
8/19 116.0
8/20 116.0 I know the scale is working - my husband uses it, too! Perhaps this is my current set point. Read from top of 14.
8/21 116.0 I had a really bad night and have an art quilt technique class all day today. My belly is rumbling.
8/22 116.5 It was great to get together yesterday and a great refresher of techniques I knew but haven’t used in some time. I didn’t drink as much water as I should have.
8/23 117.0 Took a neighbor to lunch at a Thai place. @kblanc14 I see you say it is salt but this definitely wasn’t salty. I think it is some other ingredient that causes me to retain water. It was good. I added hot chili. I have a little leftover which I may eat today. For dinner I finished the Boar’s Head London broil I bought for Fridays’s packed lunch. I can’t believe another round is almost over! Round 124 we’ll be watching for you!8 -

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!
08/21 145.2 I'm expecting it to bounce up again tomorrow. Need to stick to the 8 p.m. cutoff.
08/22 144.6 Okay, I am happily surprised by this!
08/23 144.6 I haven't met all my daily goals (only #3 with consistency since I re-joined here), but I am still making progress. Super encouraging! Nice to know I can make gradual changes and slowly get my head back in the game, because I'm not emotionally prepared for a rigid commitment just yet.

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).
8/20: 226.8 (-1.2)/19.3 (-0.1). I was talking with some coworkers yesterday, after they informed me that there were some treats to share in the office. I discussed with them how easy it is for me right now to stay disciplined because, well, it just IS. When I say this, I mean that, generally, no matter what is offered to me, I will either politely decline it, or I will find a way to portion control the situation so that any potential damage is mitigated. Yesterday was a perfect example. The tamales my father-in-law brought were FANTASTIC; he brought four. My initial plan was one tamale for lunch, and one for dinner. After eating one, though, I felt a bit "heavy," and decided that I would instead have one per day (I will eat the other with avocado today for brunch). My wife also surprised me yesterday with a delicious banana daquiri. I did not say no, but I did have one glass (maybe six ounces), and I politely declined "seconds" (which I normally would not have). I treated the daquiri like it was a dessert, and had nothing else but water the rest of the night. I'm not feeling cocky, but I am feeling confident: I know I'm on the right track, and I'm really trying to commit 100% to making sure that I NEVER give up on the idea of being healthy and feeling better about myself. Part of that means continuing to post here with my friends... forever.
8/21: 226.6 (-0.2)/19.2 (-0.1). My wife cut up a honeydew melon yesterday. I probably had a bit too much, but I kind of agree with her; having some fruit likely isn't all that bad for me. I had a tamale and some avocado for lunch, and learned (to my horror) that there were actually FIVE tamales! I informed my wife that I will not be partaking in tamale number three. I got a new piece of home gym equipment yesterday: a pull-up bar that fits in the doorway. At this point I can do one pull-up with a wide grip, and maybe two with an inner grip. While I'm happy that I can do at least one pull-up, this is still an eye-opener. The good news is that pull-ups should get easier as I continue to lose weight, and as I get back into lifting weights. I'm going to commit to doing as many pull-ups as I can at least every other day. Yesterday: two wide grip, and four narrow grip. It's my mom's 80th birthday tomorrow, so food is going to be bad at least on that day. But it's my mom's birthday. I'm going to enjoy one "bad" meal, and a TINY piece of cake. My sister-in-law may be coming over today; I shouldn't have any problems with food during her visit.
8/22: 224.6 (-2.0)/19.0 (-0.2). Unexpected WHOOSH!!!! And it's especially nice that it happened today, because tonight is Mom's birthday (I'll tell her @quiltingjaine ). I'm going to do some strength training this morning. I'm also going to try to take it a little easy food-wise before dinner tonight.
8/23: 226.4 (+0.8)/19.2 (+0.2). Mom's birthday was a night of good food and drinks. I DEFINITELY overindulged. I'm back on the wagon this morning!

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.
08/22 - 145 - Still tracking.
08/23 - 144 - Wohoo, I haven't seen this number since May!

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.
8/19 116.0
8/20 116.0 I know the scale is working - my husband uses it, too! Perhaps this is my current set point. Read from top of 14.
8/21 116.0 I had a really bad night and have an art quilt technique class all day today. My belly is rumbling.
8/22 116.5 It was great to get together yesterday and a great refresher of techniques I knew but haven’t used in some time. I didn’t drink as much water as I should have.
8/23 117.0 Took a neighbor to lunch at a Thai place. @kblanc14 I see you say it is salt but this definitely wasn’t salty. I think it is some other ingredient that causes me to retain water. It was good. I added hot chili. I have a little leftover which I may eat today. For dinner I finished the Boar’s Head London broil I bought for Fridays’s packed lunch. I can’t believe another round is almost over! Round 124 we’ll be watching for you!
It probably is some other ingredient. At this point I’ve realized even when I make a salty dish at home the water retention isn’t as bad as when we get takeout. I wish I knew what it was. I hope you enjoyed your lunch out though! 4 -
I'm coming in on the last day of this round, but there's no time like the present!
I used to log here daily about two years ago (under a different account) and had great success, keeping myself accountable and tracking those small fluctuations. I realised recently the most successful time in my weight loss was when I was posting to this challenge, so I thought I would come back so I can really stick to it
26/F
SW: 79.8kg (weighed 23/8)
24/8: 79.4kg - I've only just started weighing again from 23/8 so probably need about a week's worth of weights before I can really see where I'm at (fluctuations, water weight, just started CICO *again*). See you all in the next round 5 -

🏃 08/22: 179.8 - Day 1! I am starting by just logging my calories and trying to stay under my calorie goal. I will try to play my Ring Fit Adventure game on my Switch even if it is just one level.
🏃 08/23: 177 - I stayed within my 1400 calorie goal yesterday and also managed to play my fitness game on the Switch. I plan on the same thing for today. I realize that my loss is probably just from water weight and not overeating. I expect to get to 176 by tomorrow where the real work will begin.

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.
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. I'm still trying to get back into the swing of things by working again.
08/21 - 311.2 - No change... after a day of eating. But down 4.3 lbs. over last week and 8.5 from 2 weeks ago.
08/22 - 309.7 - made it under 310, but didn't get all the way down to my target. Since the weekends are eating days, it's VERY unlikely I'll make my goal. That said, I'm emptying out my closet from all the clothing that's WAY too big, since I will NEVER be this big again. Keeping one pair of pants for my final picture and donating the rest.
08/23 - 309.9 - Can't complain when the weight stays pretty even. A week ago, I was 4.7 lbs. heavier. I might not meet my goal for the round, but I'm still heading in the right direction.
