Day/Weight/Comment

08/25 196.6 I'm up a whole pound from yesterday. Fluctuations I suppose 🤷‍♀️ Have a good day all!

08/26 194.8 Woosh! I think I was holding onto some water for a few days.

08/27 193.4 My goal for today is to get better with water intake. I've been slacking a little. I'm still not drinking soda though!

08/28 193.4 I did great with water yesterday. On track to do pretty good today as well. Happy Friday! Hope you all have a great weekend.

08/29 193.6 I haven't been making great food choices the last few days but I haven't gone over my calories. Lots and lots of carbs though. My feet are swollen and feel like they're going to bust open. I'm guessing because my overkill of carbs?? So today my goal is watch my macros as much as my calories.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/25 - 192.3 First time I've weighed myself in a while. I've been having a really hard time getting back on it. I got really sick at the beginning of the year and lost 20lbs within a month. I was on steroids and just got off them a month ago! My appetite is finally getting back to normal and I feel strong enough to lose again!:D Monday CI 1518 CO 2828
08/26 -188.2 Woohoo! And there's the water. Might gain a little tomorrow as I didn't eat much yesterday. Tuesday CI 261 (I know, I had a very stressful day) CO 2537
08/27 -188.9 That's what I thought lol. Stayed well within my calories yesterday and exercised so I'm not worried. Wednesday CI 1274 CO 3002
08/28 - 188.5 Going camping for the night on Saturday so I'm going to be really good before and after that. My Fitbit always trips out when we go offroading though so stats aren't going to be correct. There will be a lot of beer and sausages going on lol. Thursday CI 1235 CO 2782
08/29 185.6 Whoa! Wasn't expecting that but maybe it's the TOM water going away. Not sure if I trust it lol. Won't be weighing in tomorrow as I'm going camping so guess we'll see on Monday!

Round 124 goal(s): 2.4 lbs (to get and stay under 225). More importantly, lift weights at least 2x/wk, and rowing machine at least 2x/wk.

8/25: 227.6 (+0.4)/19.3 (0.0). Alright. I need to get this under control. I talked with my wife last night and asked that she stop accepting "outside food," particularly from her family. My sister-in-law visited on Sunday, and my in-laws sent chile rellenos with her. She also brought banana bread that she made from scratch. I love my wife's family, but them inundating me with food just throws me off. It's like they communicate love with food. I drew my line in the sand with my; I NEED to be in control of MY food. When I'm not in control of my food, something happens inside of me. I have been REALLY disciplined since I've been back, and I have been REALLY happy with the progress I have made in such a short time. But when I feel "forced" to do something different, particularly when it's multiple times in a week, it sends me down the road of "losing my mojo." I'm not going to let that happen; if that means me throwing away food that we have been "given," so be it. My health has to be more important than whether or not I eat something that someone gives to me unannounced. I guess what I'm getting at is that it would be easier for me if "people" were just told that I am really focusing on my health right now, and that I do NOT want ANYONE to give me ANYTHING. I COULD do that... but my wife doesn't want me to (for various reasons... mostly worried that she's going to hurt someone else's feelings). She would need to be the person that communicates this information to her family, but she's either reluctant or unwilling to do so. I have got to figure this out, because I like what's happening with me since I returned to this group. I want to continue my good habits. I'm going to go home tonight and do strength training; my body is still a little sore from what I did a few days ago, but I am going to "suck it up" and work through it tonight.

8/26: 226.4 (-1.2)/19.2 (-0.1). It feels really good to be back on the right track. I snacked a little bit too much last night (healthy snacks, though), but I generally had a pretty good day. My back is hurting a little bit, but I'm still going to try to do strength training today (I was still too sore yesterday); I'll just take it easy. My brother-in-law and his girlfriend are coming over to watch the Laker game tonight. I will NOT be having alcohol. I need to talk with my wife about food, and what we're planning in that regard. BEFORE they get here.

8/27: 226.0 (-0.4)/19.2 (0.0). It's amazing how long it takes to completely shake a bad habit, even one that only recently developed. As I say this, I have to acknowledge that my previous sentence is nonsense. Since July 18th, I have worked really hard to eliminate some long-term bad habits (particularly in the evening-snack department) that have made keeping a decent waistline absolute hell. What I have been experiencing in the past few days is not some brand-new bad habit; it's a resurgence of something that is all-too-familiar. I think it's important that I remember that. I also need to keep in mind that I am in no way giving up, and I am making progress. I still haven't worked out since earlier this week; my back was really hurting yesterday. That being said, I'm going to give it another shot today. Wish me luck!

8/28: 226.2 (+0.2)/19.2 (0.0). Cashews. Must stop eating cashews. At least I need to weigh something out and LEAVE IT AT THAT. I have a problem. It's not just sweets. Trying to squeeze in a post during a REALLY busy day. Sorry it's so short.

8/29: 224.8 (-1.4)/19.1 (-0.1). I finally got a bit of a handle on snacking yesterday. For some reason, when it's cashews, I just inhale them. It goes so fast. I had a few cashews yesterday (six I think), but I found something else to snack on that I was able to control a bit better. Despite my previous setback(s), I still think I'm doing great. I am WAY into seeing my trendline, but I still really like seeing a good weigh-in. This morning was satisfying. I'm 0.2 away from my recent low. THAT being said, my brother-in-law and his girlfriend are coming over today, and my parents are coming over tomorrow, so it's going to take some serious planning to get out of this weekend anywhere near the weight I have today. Honestly, if I'm at 226.0 on Monday morning, I'll consider the weekend a pretty rousing success. I'm going to lift weights this morning, and I'll do some rowing machine tomorrow morning. That should offset some of the badness I'll be doing to myself this weekend.

My 85th Round!

SW: 144.5

Day/Weight/Comment

08/25 - 144.5
08/26 - 145 - Calories have been good, so I'm hoping this is just some water retention.
08/27 - 144.5 - OK, I'm trending lower this week.
08/28 - 145.5 - Sigh. I've tracked my food all week and stayed within weight loss calories. I did start a cardio routine this week, so I'm hoping this is some DOMS. Also, I've been eating watermelon which, although low in calories, is high in sugar and carbs. I have a patio birthday party for my daughter on Sunday and my husband is making meatball subs for supper tonight, so I'm going to have to really watch what I eat the rest of the weekend along with drinking ALL the water.
08/29 - 144.5 - I did not want to weigh this morning. I woke up with swollen fingers from the sodium last night. I was so surprised when I saw my weight I checked again on my other scale. The watermelon and meatballs are all gone now and I'll just plan for a cupcake at my daughter's party tomorrow.

Hi friends, so glad this thread is always here when I can get my act together.
Goals this round, to lose 1 pound.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/25 193.4 estimated total calories: 1505

08/26 193.4 I have to take a break from running due to stupid plantar faciitis which is super depressing. BUT I'm doing a 30 day no alcohol challenge and I'm interested to see if that makes it easier to lose. So far I miss my glass of wine while cooking but some days are easier than others. I am going to try to get back into lifting at the gym since I can't run, I tried the elliptical on Monday but foot hurt for two days after so probably gonna give that one some more time still. Calorie goal: 1400

08/27 194.0 well the scale was up today, but my BF % was down so that means there's a little water weight hanging around . I'm still on a downward trend and getting ready for TOM so a momentary blip is expected. Still sleeping in the dreaded night splint, I had less foot pain today so maybe I can hit the gym tomorrow and avoid a flare up. Calories were over yesterday by 400 due to chocolate snack after dinner, did I mention TOM? Upping the water today.

08/28 193.2 drinking my water, still giving my foot a break from any stress. I don't have a plan for dinner tonight which isn't good, bc that means I want to stand in the pantry and eat snack (not helpful, I know! ) better come up with one before I get too hungry!

08/29 192.4 I felt very happy to see this number on the scale after many days higher. Let's hope it sticks around and isn't destroyed by my salty lunch today, bc I'm on track to stay around 1200 calories - missed breakfast (accidentally), split chicken fajitas with a friend and brought leftovers home for the hubs, and just a little yogurt with fruit for dinner.

26/f
SW: 79.8kg
GW: 70kg
UGW: 52kg

Goal for this round is to stay focused for the whole 10 days, stick to what I know, and hopefully see the numbers drop!


08/25 - 79.1kg, I've started CICO again since Sunday and feeling good!
08/26 - 78.5kg, I'm seeing a lot of dropping very quickly but I feel like it'll creep up a little or plateau very soon. Likely losing a lot of water weight but it feels good regardless!
08/27 - 78.4kg, happy to still see a decrease. I've been sticking to my calorie limits but probably not drinking as much water as I should
08/28 - 78.5kg, as expected the initial water weight probably fell off and now balancing out. Staying strong!
08/29 - didn't weigh as I had a night away from home. Didn't count calories on 28th or today
08/30 - 79.4, didn't count Friday/Saturday so I'm not surprised, also low water intake and a bit of alcohol so everything is out of whack. Back to it today, hopefully see a better number tomorrow

👍🏼👍🏼 This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTY

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.
