44, 6' trying to maintain at 150. Have to track here for accountability
8/25 vacation for the last 5 days dnw
8/26 155.2 Considering we ate out all 5 days and I definitely splurged on sweets and treats quite a bit this isn't awful. Back on track today. There is something comforting about knowing I have this place to keep myself accountable.
8/27 153.4 different digital scale that reads low. I ran, rode and walked 3.2 miles yesterday. Staying on track for this week.
8/28 DNW
8/29DNW
8/30DNW
8/31 155.8 WTH. I hiked 15.6 miles yesterday for 7.5 hours in the state forest over some decent size foothills. I'm sore and stiff today. And I kayaked and hiked saturday for another 7.5 miles. I know I didn't track food, but I didn't gorge. I expect I'm retaining water. Hard workouts always bump me up for a day or 2 before I drop back down. Doesn't matter. Tracking for today.10 -

08/28 197.4 I stayed in a deficit yesterday (612 calories in deficit according to MFP and Fitbit combined), but had a lot of carbs. The next few days will indicate if this is a real gain or if it's water.
08/29 197.2 Ate at maintenance yesterday. I figure any day I lose or maintain is a great day. The scale might fluctuate, but eating at maintenance or at a deficit is within my control.
08/30 196 Deficit of just over a thousand calories yesterday. I ate a lot and burned a lot between housecleaning and bike ride. Lots of carbs but that's not seeming to matter today.

08/31 - 155.2 - Ouch... As much as I tried drinking water yesterday, I couldn't keep up. We cleaned out the garage, got rid of stuff. Had to reorganize the shed to fit stuff from garage into shed. BF trying to convert his garage into his office so we can get a dining room table before kids get back to visit. Also found a nice window AC unit for the garage last night on the town's facebook garage sale page -- hopefully it works! Could've come in handy during the day... Triple digits plus the hotbox that is the garage did not bode well for my already slightly dehydrated self. Prior to that, I went out and FINALLY planted my veggies in the raised bed from pots. That was not an easy feat by myself AT ALL. I felt sick to my stomach with how much water I was drinking during breaks but still ended up dehydrated. Today should be fairly simple to get back on track. Not sure dinner plans yet, but I'm on my own for "breakfast" and lunch. I'm still trying for IF until 11 but I don't eat lunch until about 2 so it holds me over until dinner, otherwise I get hangry and nauseous. Will be tracking today to ensure I'm in the green.

Previous Day's Comments08/25 - Quite alright. Starting off with a sodium bump. BF made dinner last night and apparently the flow restriction top of the worcestershire sauce came off while he was adding it, only to dump a bit too much in there and could taste the extra saltiness of it. Focusing on water today, again, and finding activity to get moving. Didn't sleep well at all, though my fitbit says I had the best sleep in a long while. Obviously false as it read I was in "REM" but I definitely looked at the time and was awake during that period. Hoping I can wake up fully and enough to not be lazy and dragging all day.
08/26 - Little tick down. Dinner was a bit heavy, taco bell recreations. Surprised I dropped any at all. Water wasn't too great and no activity. Work got really crazy and I have a feeling work is going to get crazy again today but I have a workout date with Fam this morning to offset the madness.
08/27 - Yay, another drop and now at goal weight for the round -- challenge is to keep it at or under this. Today is my Friday since I don't work Fridays and therefore a nice long weekend to screw things up if I'm not careful/diligent. I ALMOST reached my goal for water but also gave myself a bit of a stomach ache with all the water I was drinking after a very filling dinner. Plus, I didn't want to have to wake up and use the bathroom. I have issues with insomnia enough without bodily functions adding to it. Goal is to get a walk in today.
08/28 - Whoosh! That was entirely unexpected, especially since I went back for seconds on the homemade chicken tikka marsala at dinner. First round was with some basmati rice, second was toned down with just the chicken in sauce/gravy. But, as usual with Indian food, I figured I'd gain. Guess it wasn't as calorie-laden as I thought(I looked up various recipes for it online and averaged them for dinner)? My estimated calories were barely under goal and I didn't end up getting the walk in I wanted due to work being hectic so I'm really surprised. Just barely hit my goal of 4 water bottles (16.4oz steel bottle - Save the Earth!) but I need to find a way to sneak in an extra 10oz to hit my rounded half-body weight in oz goal. Just happy I was able to get the 4 bottles in finally [insert happy dance]! Let's see if I can get through the weekend and maintain. Back on my IF attempt (its so hard to do on weekends and today is part of my weekend).
08/29 - Not unexpected. Dinner out due to a sudden change in plans and it was very carby. Also cheesy so that induced bloating due to my sensitivity to lactose. Also a couple beers over the day instead of my usual 1 with dinner. Missed my 64oz water goal by about 7oz. All good, as long as I can overcome it through the remainder of the weekend.
08/30 - Dehydration water retention. Unexpected trip to the river to beat the heat in some water. Besides my body holding on to water from being in it for hours, I didn't have much water to drink. My one water bottle emptied quickly and only a couple cans of sparkling water were brought (I was told there was water, just not told there was very little and we had 2 young kids that need it, too). Didn't have much at all breakfast wise, was still a bit hungry after my small on the go. Lunch was nonexistent so almonds and beer nuts at the river was all I had to snack on. Dinner was large homemade beef and venison burgers which made me feel quite heavy and full. At least I don't feel overly bloated, just waterlogged. Hopefully that means a nice quick drop once I drink enough water -- focusing on that today. Going to attempt to replant my veggies in my raised garden bed today. Right now they're sitting in pots inside the garden bed. Storms last weekend prevented me from getting it done, but it desperately needs it.

8/25 - 169.7 Trying not to get too excited. Each oz in a lb. seems to have a mind of its own lately. Each taking turns hopping up and down like evil bouncy balls. (After I wrote this I got a mental image of what 16 of those balls released all at once might look like--cracked me up! I'm just weird like that.)
8/26 - 168.7 Keeping this loss to the end of this round will be my new R124 goal. Thinking it will still be a challenge.
8/27 - 169.3 Not sweating the small bounces. Determined to keep the 7 out of the second position. So, 30 minutes after I posted this, my daughter delivers a Starbucks Bacon Gouda and Vente Pumpkin Spice Coffee. Bless.Her.Heart. Going to enjoy every sip/bite. Still determined ... no 7 in the second position! I let you know how I compensate for this once I figure it out. lol
8/28 - 169.1 Earned 790 calories by walking that I did not eat back. Walked wildly (Side steps and in place) during a virtual team meeting instead of sitting all day which added nearly 2,500 of 14,000 steps. I may have started a new virtual meeting habit!

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.
08/30 194.0 I did good yesterday with carbs, sodium, calories, and water. My feet aren't as swollen today either. I dont like seeing that bump but I'm hoping its normal fluctuations. We are headed to our lake lot today to get some work done so I should burn a lot. Happy sunday!
08/31 194.4 I dont like ththe way the scale is going!

Female, Age 50, 5'4"
Highest Weight = 181.4
Ultimate Goal Weight = 134
Round 124 Goal = Under 176
Day/Weight/Comment
08/25 = 178.0 (down 2.4 from yesterday) Nice "loss" from yesterday but really that was an inflated number from the weekend overeating. Still up .3 from Friday's weight. But happy it is heading in the right direction!
08/26 = 177.1 (down .9 from yesterday) Went on a run yesterday with my husband and ate well & within my calorie range all day but eventually went over as we had wine and & a snack later in the evening. Expect the number to bump up tomorrow, as it usually take 2 days for the scale to reflect that for me.
08/27 = 177.9 (up .8 from yesterday), there's the slight uptick I was expecting from Tuesday night's over indulgences. Yesterday was an okay day calorie wise but was in the higher part of my allowed calorie range. Wanted to go for a run as it was great weather and supposed to storm all day today but husband's knee can't do two runs in a row, so we are hoping the weather cooperates today.
08/28 = 177.2 (down .7 from yesterday) Last Friday when I weighed in, I was 177.7 so only down a half pound these last 7 days but most of this week was spent getting the scale to come down after a weekend filled with high caloric takeaways. But I've been consistently making better choices since Monday so feel like I'm in a better place as this new weekend starts. Exercise wise, the weather didn't cooperate for running yesterday but am planning to get a run in on my lunch hour today and looking forward to a chicken Caesar salad for dinner. Other positives, doing great with IF 16/8 & Alcohol Free for the most part, allowing adult beverages only 1 night per week.
08/29 = 176.5 (down .7 from yesterday) Finally got another run in yesterday, felt great with lower temps and humidity. Fall is my favorite running weather, although this summer's heat has not been too bad. It's raining and thunderstorming here all day today, so planning on a relaxing day indoors reading and maybe some yoga.
08/30 = 176 (down .5 from yesterday) So close to my goal round weight, now just need to stay on the downward trend! I weighed in a little later this morning, so I am okay if this bumps up a little bit tomorrow, still plenty of time to make my round goal and have it stick. On plan for today is a nice outdoor run and husband is home for dinner (due to work he is only home for a family dinner 2-3 times a week) so I'll be cooking tonight. The recipe I'm planning will fit in my calorie allotment but I just need to be stricter with my calories for lunch to make it work. I normally pre-log my food into MFP in the morning, so that there are no surprises & usually leave a little wiggle room to adjust my choices as needed. Have a great day everyone!
08/31 = 174.8 (down 1.2 from yesterday) Wasn't expecting this drop, I'll believe it when I see that it sticks for tomorrow's weigh-in! The weather was great for yesterday's run (low 70's) but I ran later than I planned, at about 18 hours into my fast, so my legs were fairly sluggish on the way out but I felt better on the way back. Then it was a quick shower and out the door to run errands, so my fast actually lasted a little over 20 hours not the usually 16. They could be a reason for the bigger scale drop. Enjoyed 3 glasses of wine (measured the oz. in each glass) watching the Tour De France with my husband and still stayed in a good calorie deficit. All in all a nice weekend

08/26 – 180.3 - - I’ve been making sure to get in my 3 goals of calories, steps & water, and it looks like that has been working.
08/27 – 180.0 – Whoooo!! MFP says I’ve now lost 51% of my target! It took me 11 weeks to get half-way there!
08/28 – 179.8 – Yes, yes! I am starting to see the 170s!
08/29 – 179.6 – I have had great trajectory this week. I am going to be extra careful on my calories today because my son’s birthday is tomorrow. Pizza and cake is what he has requested for the day, so that’s what he will get
08/30 – 180.4 – Not sure what happened here, because I kept within my normal calorie window. That just shows you that these fluctuations happen even when we’re careful. We have a birthday celebration in the house today so watch out tomorrow
08/31 – DNW – Yeah, I am actually scared to step on the scale after the birthday party yesterday….

Previous days08/25 116.6 I went for another walk this morning because I just wasn’t feeling a higher intensity workout today. I even made a chicken friend along the way. It was so funny and made my morning! He was quite friendly too. Luckily, I saw a couple who lived in the neighborhood and told me it was okay for him to be roaming around. I was worried about him running away from home lol.
Typical breakfast planned. My snack is going to be a caprese salad because we got gorgeous tomatoes and basil in our csa. I think dinner will be some sort of steak tips, but not sure what we’ll have with them. Most likely salad because we also got lots of greens with the CSA. Have a good Tuesday!
08/26 (posted on 8/27) 115.8 Getting back down to 114 would be so nice, but I guess I’ll take it one pound at a time. Ups and downs are normal but so annoying haha. Food was on point yesterday and today should be too. I’m making pulled pork for diner and looking forward to it. I think I’ll make some sort of slaw to eat with it and top it with some zucchini refrigerator pickles I made a few weeks back.
08/27 115.6 Didn’t end up posting my blurb yesterday. I wrote it out but never had a minute to post it. We went on a nice walk in the woods today for our workout. It was lovely 😊. Today is another busy day and we are having some left over pulled pork for dinner with salad, black beans, and tomatoes. Yum! Have a good day!
08/28 116.8 Awesome workout this morning and will be getting a 3 mile walk in later today as I walk to pick up my car that’s in the shop. It’s a gorgeous day, so I figured why not get the extra walk versus have my husband give me a ride.
So, I think I’m going to try and lose super slow (already happening) because with my mother in law being in the hospital/sick people have been continuously bringing food by and I can’t control that because that’s life. Her friends want to help us all out and their kindness is truly appreciated….but it’s not too kind on my hips. I’ve been able to essentially maintain this month since the food train has started, but it’s hard to lose when you have no idea of the recipe. In the meantime, until the onslaught of food stops, I’ll just keep on doing what I am doing and track as much as I can. It’s also really hard to say no to take-out when you it’s put right in front of your face and you know it’ll be wasted if you don’t eat it. So that’s my food venting for the day.
Any ways have a happy Friday and I’m going to go eat my granola, fruit, and yogurt!
08/29 116.0 Already got a spin bike workout in this morning. Today will be a day filled with chores so that I can have a lazy day tomorrow. Dinner tonight will be left over pulled pork with broccoli and a tomato & greens salad. The dinner train dropped off baked pasta last night which was very rich but I had a giant tomato sliced with some fresh mozzarella before the pasta to help fill me up. It worked well because I was able to have a reasonable serving with one meatball. I felt very satisfied after eating it all, but I didn’t feel like I did much damage. I even managed to lose some water weight overnight 😊. Have a good weekend!
08/30 115.0 I’ll take the whoosh 😊. My husband and I went for a 4 mile walk this morning and just finished watching a soccer game we DVR’d last night. Solid day so far! Breakfast/lunch will be the last of the baked pasta with 2 meatballs, my snack will be left over canned pumpkin with yogurt and granola, and dinner will be a big salad and 2-3 fried eggs.
I downloaded Happyscale to get a different view of my weight data. It’s interesting the different views and options you have to observe the trends. I just splurged on the one-time payment for their premium option and I already love the extras! So, that’ll be a fun app to look at each day as well. It has me reaching my “running average” 110lb goal in May of next year, and I’m okay with that. I just need to remind myself that I’m not in a race.
I feel the best I have about my body and health (except for my borderline high cholesterol of 202 I just found out about, although the ratio is decent and the HDL is at a good level, so not too worried). In relation to my cholesterol, I’m going to start bringing more healthy fats (I eat plenty of fiber so I know I don’t need more of that to help my cholesterol) into my diet because those will help my cholesterol levels. I had borderline high cholesterol in the past, but reversed it with diet and exercise in my early 20s… now it has creeped back at 29 almost 30. I think with all of the calorie counting, I have been shying away from including as much healthy fats than I used to which could have had an impact on my cholesterol levels. Or my levels were higher back in April when I started this but I will never know. I would hope that losing ten pounds and exercising most days of the week has had a positive effect though. Who knows! That’s my book of a post today. Have a happy Sunday!
08/31 114.6 We did a great running workout this morning on the soccer field. Man is grass tough to run in at times. You don’t feel quite so light on your feet compared to asphalt. But with that resistance of the grass equals a better workout and it’s nicer on my hips and knees.
Today will be a good day food wise and will consist of typical stuff for me 😊. Through tracking my weight daily since April, I have finally realized the time of month when I am at my lightest and it’s right around now. So, going forward, I will continue to weigh every day but not worry as much about the fluctuations and just have a month to month comparison. As I look at the data, it definitely shows a gradual decline despite all the annoying blips up. So, I guess I’m just feeling better about it all mentally… and that is so important!
Happy Monday!

8/28 165.0 I took off from mid-February until now. I was stuck and discouraged. The pandemic has forced me back to my home office. I was unable to get my roommate in to a new place because first she was laid off, second due to all her health issues she is high risk (COPD/Asthma) and while she's a nightmare roommate she is still my friend. I have gained 9 pounds since I left this Challenge. I am still walking almost daily. I should hit the challenge goal of 1020km (approx 634 miles) this year. Walking is the only thing that has kept me sane. I didn't walk today because my foot has been bothering me (broken in a car accident almost 30 years ago) and I'm antsy already. I went from traveling 3 weeks a month to basically not leaving my house. I am an extrovert, a loud goofy sales person so being home 24/7 is my least favorite thing to do. We were told last week we will continue to work from home until the end of the year, then they will reevaluate. So what I keep thinking is temporary isn't. Time to face the music and stop living in a temporary "I can do what I want while this BS is going on" mode. I have continued to track, though not seriously. I started a few days ago and was shocked at the calories I was eating. If I hadn't been walking I would probably have gained 20. I loved the support I got here before and it does make me more accountable to myself. And since I'm sure you've missed seeing pics of my adorable niece here is one to start this off with a bang. She was helping me with setting up my laptop.
8/29 166.1 Walked 3.04 miles Wrong way already. I weighed over the weekend but didn't post.
8/30 166.5 Walked 3.21 miles Still wrong.
8/31 DNW Might walk after work or at lunch if the rain slows down. I've already eaten breakfast and forgot to weigh. I'm out of the habit. I was bad all weekend. Getting back on track is going to be challenging for me. Avocado toast for breakfast on a rainy late summer morning is a pretty good start though.9 -
Back in for 2nd round since coming back. Goals are to get under 165.0 and be there for at least 5 out of the 10 weigh ins. Also drink more water and stay away from fast food. We will see how it goes. Ended last round at 169.0
08/25 - 168.3 down a little bit from yesterday, so I will take it. Brought my lunch and breakfast to work this morning, so no excuses to grab lunch out today. Did great until I got home last night and we decided to make steak fajitas for dinner. Probably had a little more guacamole and chips then I should have, but I will keep working at it.
08/26 - 167.4 At least it is continuing to go down. Really wanted to be lower this morning, but I guess I will be happy with where I am. Brought my lunch and breakfast to work again this morning, so no excuses to eat out. Dinners still aren't great, but I am really looking to get under 165 at this point. I can't believe I gained 30 pounds in 7 months. It will probably take me 18 months to lose it, lol.
08/27 - 166.4 Met all my goals yesterday and even turned down McDonald's for dinner. The hubby and I went four wheeling in the mountains with our new Jeep and then decided to pick dinner up. Guess where the kids wanted to eat? Everybody ordered food, but I decided to go home and eat left overs from the night before. I did eat a couple of fries off the kids plates, but way better than it could have been. Getting closer to my goal, so we will see how the rest of the week plays out. All 3 meals are planned for today already so we should be good on that front.
08/28 - 166.4 Fridays use to be my official weigh-in day, but I will start that next week. Stuck to my plan yesterday, probably had a little to much soy sauce on my rice for dinner, but only had a small portion and didn't go back for seconds even though I could have. First full week back on track and I am ok with where I am at this point. Last time I was super strict and over did it. This time if it takes me a little longer I am ok with that. I want to be able to sustain instead of feeling restricted.
08/29 - 163.1 Nice! I did an unintentional 24 hr fast yesterday so I am expecting a bounce up tomorrow, but a happy today. I was slammed at work all day and realized I hadn't eaten anything around 3. I get off at 4 so there was no reason to eat my lunch at that point. So I waited until I got home. I then found out that DH had eaten lunch at 4 because he was slammed and had some errands for us to run. So we didn't get home till well after 8. I just went to bed at that point as I was exhausted from the week and did not feel like cooking.
08/30 - 165.8 I figured that this would happen. Ate normal yesterday, but not some of the best food choices. We went 4 wheeling in the new Jeep again (my husband is obsessed) with both of our girls and then stopped off at a local burger place to eat lunch. I tried to stay away from the fries, but did have a couple. Then had a light dinner of cheesy potato skins, probably not my best option, but it's what I went with.
08/31 - 164.2 Had to go up to my MIL house and do some work. She made breakfast burritos (egg, potato & green chile) for us around 11. We got back home at 5 and neither one of us were hungry. My husband had multiple cookies with milk and I had a big glass of water and a pickle. I am hoping I am lower tomorrow. I am sure the salt from the pickle added to my weigh in this am. If I can end the round at 163.xx I will be happy. That means I would have lost 6 pounds my first week back. I know the next round won;t be as good or as much, but I will be happy with this one.

@ChrysalisCove Being “stuck” is better than going up! Your body is adjusting.
@MTW70 Kudos! I wish I could make it past 18 hours fasting. Other than feeding my husband I think I could but fixing lun-ner for him causes me to cave!3 -

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.

8/25 116.5 I got sidetracked reading this morning. My husband was in a fender bender yesterday morning and as a result, I cancelled my PT so I stopped reading here and just did my home exercises. DH and car are not severely damaged. I am noticing SUCH a difference from the therapy exercises that I WANT to go back to the gym! WOW! You have NO IDEA how huge that is for me! The cat does NOT like me using HIS floor to do home exercises!
8/26 117.0
8/27 116.5 LOL Just noticed the typo in the post I made this morning. Of course my buds are “seeing” it makes SEWING so much easier!! Ate lunch at the New Mexican restaurant yesterday. I ate soooo many carbs! But it was SOOOO GOOD! Totally worth it, I have half leftover for lunch at “sew day.” I had an amazing day with my gal pals!
8/28 116.0 Tomorrow we’re going out of town all day to visit my college BFF. She and her SO and 2 cats have become full timers in an RV. He makes homemade pasta but they are aware of my WOE so it could be interesting!
8/29 117.0 McD’s breakfast on the road, Will’s meatloaf, mashed potatoes and salad
8/30 117.5 A picture from the place Marge and I went yesterday while Will took Carl to Delamar.
8/31 116.5 Great Greek yesterday for my OMAD. One of favorite “fall backs” when nothing sounds good to eat. I can’t believe I didn’t post yesterday!7 -
