My Round 2!

Jillian Age 34 and 5'1"

HSW: 179.8
CSW: 176.4
GW: 130
RGW: 173 and increase exercise session length

Round 123 (1): 179.8 to 176.4 (-3.4)

🏃 08/25:174.6 So far so good! I didn't expect things to go so well so quickly. I am happy. I am staying within my calorie limits and it seems like 1400 is just fine along with lots of water. I am playing Ring Fit Adventure everyday. It is very fun. Even though the actual exercises are in short bursts, they are intense enough to give me a good workout. However, I am so sore today that it will be difficult to make myself workout tonight.
🏃 08/26:174.4 My weight is essentially the same, but today is a different sort of victory because I finally lost whatever water weight made me lose drastically in the first few days. I had 5 pounds of it! The other success is that starting all of this daily exercise is making me feel really great. My energy is up and I am enjoying life. I stayed within calorie limits as well and tried to drink more water. My exercise for yesterday was Just Dance 2020 on the Switch. I danced for 50 minutes, which estimated my calories burned at 311.61, but I am a wild dancer, so I suspect it was more. 😂
🏃 08/27:174.4 I am staying steady, so I won't let myself get discouraged. I know I should be losing based on my activity and calorie intake, but I know it will come off over time. I just need to be patient! I played Ring Fit Adventure yesterday. Today, I am going to play Just Dance 2020 for an hour. I am also going to download a free Jump Rope game on the Switch and try to add that to my mornings starting tomorrow. Right now, just getting into habits are key.
🏃 08/28:175.8 Even though I stayed below my calorie limit and exercised, I had consumed a massive amount of sodium due to a combination of tortilla soup and ramen. Lmao. This was definitely water weight. I will keep a closer eye on my sodium intake from now on.
🏃 08/29:174.0 I didn't make it to any exercise yesterday, but stayed below both my calorie count and my sodium count. Today, I will play my fitness games on my switch.
🏃 08/30:173.2 I'm happy to see this drop even though I again didn't play my fitness games. It seems like I am still reaping the rewards from my previous workouts. It looks like I will probably surpass my weight goal for this round!
🏃 08/31:172.8 Hooray! I'm very thankful to whomever started these challenge rounds because I know they are the main reason I am able to stay on track with logging my meals and exercising. It would feel really great even if I weren't losing, but the drops are a definite bonus. I was able to play Ring Fit Adventure. I also started the free 100 Day Jump Rope challenge. It hardly takes any time, so that one should be daily even if I don't get any other exercise in.

8/25 - 182.2 😐 - 1549 😐 - snack 🍿
A friend brought a gorgeous big vine-ripened cantaloup yesterday — mmmmm. Also tomatoes and peppers. I see a beautiful salad in my future! 🥗 We’re under a heat advisory today and it’s already hot, so I’m not walking unless it cools down this evening, but I can garden in spurts and run in to cool off. I’m also refinishing some nightstands & end tables & trying to decide on a color for our bedroom, which I want to repaint — plenty to do! Have a great week, all!

8/26 - 182.2 😐 - 1499 🙂 - snack 🍿🍨🙁
I don’t know why I had to have ice cream last night. Maybe the hot hot day, but that’s just a flimsy excuse. Still, I hit my calorie goal, if barely. No walk — a friend came over and we sat out in the garden to catch up and enjoy the beautiful evening. Not bad, all in all.

8/27 - 182.8 😐 - 1920 😡 - snacks 🍿🍨😡
Food, glorious food, and way too much of it. The ice cream was definitely emotional, and of course I know that giving in only makes me feel worse. What was so depressing, you might wonder? I’m trying to choose a paint color for our bedroom. Gaaaa! I want something cheery to wake me happy in the morning. Yellow or green, but holy cow, it’s hard to find the right one! So I have 5 different colors painted in patches on all four walls, and still haven’t decided! So, ice cream. Ha! Compared to events in other parts of the country, my petty concerns are nothing, I know. I hope everyone here is safe.

8/28 - 182.8 😐 - 1330 🙂 - snack 🍿🙂
Better yesterday, food wise. I found my yellow and the painters come Monday. Yay! I can’t wait to get rid of the dark blue-gray we inherited. (It may have looked better when new, but I find it depressing). Now I’m on the prowl for some new artwork to brighten it up, and a small pedestal table to paint to match the nightstand I painted a soft white. Trying to wake up cheerful! That helps me not want to gobble everything in sight. (See, this is on topic!)

8/29 - 182.4 😐 - 1529 😐 - snack 🧀
We finally got a good rain last night and it’s a gorgeous morning. I’m hoping the ground has softened up so I can dig out The turf from my border expansion without kidding myself. I just want to be outdoors as much as possible, knowing we’re only a few weeks from cold weather. Have a lovely, safe weekend, all.

8/30 - 182 🙂 - 1181 😊 - snack = 2 dried dates
Beautiful, cool Sunday morning here. Going for a walk in the woods!

8/31 - 182 😐 - 1170 🙂 - snack = whole grain English muffin & fruit- only spread
I can’t believe it’s the end of August. Yikes! Painters are here today to paint our bedroom and the hallway. So happy to see the last of the dark, dull blue-gray. Nice color in the right room, but depressing in a north-facing room with a small window — for me, at least. It was enough to make me snack snack snack! 😜

Day/Weight/Comment
08/24 …..209.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
08/25 …..210.5 ….. 1 ½ slices of pizza last night during movie night with my son and THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD!!!! I actually started to gag when eating the 2nd slice and had to spit it into my napkin. Over a pound gained overnight! Very disappointed that I will spend this round just to get back down to my inflated, overweight, obese number that I started with. I will try to fit in extra movement today, extra water, and stick to my guns!

08/26 …..210.2 ….. Working my way back down?

08/27 …..210.2 ….. Happy with this for today.

08/28 …..210.7 ….. After travel weigh-in. Yikes!!!!!

08/29 …..211.4 ….. Holy Cow! And yesterday was not a bad day. No binge. No sweet snacks. I did have some hash browns with my fish! Must be residual from the travel still showing up. Today will have to be extra strict.

08/30 …..210.9 ….. I was extra strict as promised yesterday and it payed off on the scale this morning. However, ended up traveling downstate all day today to shop for TV for my son (his blew up unexpectedly). Restaurant included. So I dread tomorrow’s scale but I will be extra strict tomorrow again. Trying to catch up on several days of posts. Should have them read by tomorrow.

08/31 …..211.1 ….. Applebee’s yesterday. Grilled Lime chicken. I ate some of the rice, but not all. Happy that the weight change was small. Overly hungry today but trying to keep it reigned in. Mid 70’s today. I’m hoping for a small hike near the river and a picnic with a friend.

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.

08/30 192.0 haven't been here since early July so this seems great progress. hoping for another little drop tomorrow! total calories today 1224

08/31 191.8 looks good to me.

Round 124 start weight 162.2

Goal weight: 130

Day/Weight/Comment
08/25 162.2 I see from my list of start weights that I'm not being consistent. I need to follow through. Hopefully I've set up a routine now that school has started.
5,152 steps, 30 minutes cycle Did not log calories

08/26 161.6
10,531 steps, 30 minutes cycle. Was within calories.

08/27 160.6
11,147 steps. 33 minutes cycle. Was within calories.

08/28 160.4
11,601 steps, 30 minutes of cycling. Was within my calories.

08/29 162.2 I did have a lot of salt last night and some wine. I still was within my calories.

08/30 161.0 after breakfast and coffee. Yesterday I took a much needed rest day. I caught up on my grading so that I didn't get overwhelmed and spiral out of control. I didn't log my food, but I didn't go cray either. I wanted a snack, so I had a protein shake. Today I had a strength training session via zoom with my trainer.
Within calorie limits

08/31 160.2 This number is a tease. I don't believe it. Can I really be this close to getting out of the 160s? or will I self-sabotage? I don't believe you, number. I will push through with my eating plan. I got my walk in today. I still have time to hop on that bike.

🌾🎍🌵🌴🌳💕💖💕🌳🌴🌵🎍🌾
🏖🎡💕💖💕 AUGUST 💕💖💕🎡⛱
🌾🎍🌵🌴🌳💕💖💕🌳🌴🌵🎍🌾

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!

I meant the loss stuck - as in, stuck around. 🙃

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.

My Monday night exercise class is a work sponsored free class. It has been strength training for several years. Since covid hit it has been over zoom. Anyway today it changed to kickboxing maybe this was discussed at last week's class that I missed. I love this class because I get such a good workout, but am a bit disappointed that it is no longer strength training. I feel like I need to build muscle and strength training once a week will really slow that down. Anyway whining a bit I guess. I'm going to have to think about changing up my exercise routine.

Round #122 < 3.8lbs
Round #123 < 3.4lbs

When you get this uncomfortable in your skin AND your clothes, you know you need a little extra accountability, and this forum is helping, tremendously!

Been making myself go for walks (or do workout videos) when my hurtin' body would rather say "No." Because my BMR is so low, I've been really cognizant of what is going in my mouth (and I'm not putting something in there-out of sheer boredom!) I've decided that I really don't enjoy exercising all that much! But, I've seen so much improvement in how my clothes fit over the past 15 days, that I'm NOT giving up now! Super excited to be getting back into my "real" wardrobe, after an umpteen year hiatus...

Still a bit unwell, so no walking yet. I'm finding it easier not to snack in the evenings, which makes staying under my limit much easier.

26/8 128.2kg
Wanting to eat my feelings today. Instead I watched bad tv and sat with them. Hopefully I will feel a bit less overwhelmed tomorrow.

27/8 127.8kg
Finally got out of the house today, I haven't been out since Wednesday last week. Still really stressed.

28/8 128.4kg
A big bounce today. Our tap water is brown today, so takeaway for dinner. Still trying for higher protein choices, and only had half the mashed potato.

29/8 128.0kg
Nice to see that the bounce was short lived. Went swimming with the kids this morning, which was awesome. The pool had been closed since March, and I had definitely been missing it.

30/8 127.9kg
Today, after 3 weeks and 1 day, my trend hit my "in 5 weeks" goal that I got on the first day. I am also feeling all the muscles that I haven't used in months while the pool was closed. I will try to get back there tomorrow.

31/8 127.6kg
Got back to the pool today. It was a bit interrupted, but it is really nice to be back. Overdid the carbs a bit at dinner.

1/9 127.5kg <-- Yay, goals
My legs are so stiff today. Hopefully it will shake out as I get used to going back to the pool regularly. I still need to find out a way of dealing with my stress, as it isn't healthy.

12 weeks till 37th wedding anniversary 💕
5 months till next physical 🩺

08/25 231.8 Though I walked 3.36 miles yesterday morning my Apple watch did NOT consider it exercise LOL Stopping to talk to neighbors, dog potty, dropping off book at library, light at intersection and not using pause on the watch when stopping … I guess it thinks I strolled too much. Overall I did get 12300 steps total yesterday. Today I must walk more purposefully!
08/26 231.2 3 mile walk but ran into friends again … some decided to walk with me. A couple of glasses of wine with dinner. Broke my dry spell this month.
08/27 231.2 Walked 3 miles, biked, gardened/digging, hand weights … still seem to be stuck around 231. Hoping to drop into the 20s soon!
08/28 231.5 Only I Can Change My Life, No One Can Do It For Me
08/29 231.2 On target every day this week with tracking calories & carbs, no snacking between meals or after dinner, exercise, and water. My body must just love this number ... been here many times over the past 5 years and it is like a comforting place for the scale or something. I'm not giving up ... going to push through this time around!
08/30 230.0 Yeah! I broke through after 7 days. Note to self: Don’t let a temporary plateau play mind games with you when you know that you are not cheating but the scale is not moving.
08/31 230.3 Walked 5 miles yesterday. I have 6 more to do today in order to hit by 100 miles in August target. I can do this!
09/01 230.3 Success! Down 11 pounds for August. Created many better habits in August … tracking my food, water, vitamins, walking, less alcohol, strength training, no snacking. Finished walking 100 miles in August. Now to walk and repeat all these good habits for September.

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 the way the scale is going!

09/01 193.6 So the scale went down a little but my hands and feet are swollen again today. This past few days have been frustrating! Going to stick to it though, and not give up. Happy September!! I love this month

Day/Weight/Comment
08/25 - 310.3 - One of the pleasant things about the new job is walking almost twice as much. My steps almost doubled for the week (per my Fitbit notification). Down 3.6 for the week and 8 lbs. over 2 weeks. One of those fun things that happen when you drop lots of weight... a adjustable web belt that barely fit now has to be cut since there is an excess. Maybe it's body dysmorphia, but while this is happening, I don't see it. But the fit of my clothes and fitness ability to do simple tasks that have been a struggle, those are the things that are a hammer hitting me over the head, saying *yeah, you're getting smaller*.
08/26 - 309.7 - Mondays are worst for weigh-ins. By Wednesday, I'm usually heading in a good direction. My best is Saturday before I start eating. By then, I've had 3 42-hour fasts leading into eating at noon on Sat.
08/27 - 306.9 - Nice drop. After missing last round's goal, I went conservative... and already made it. This also puts me at the 95+ lbs. mark. So close. So tantalizing. And a broke scale. One of the footies just broke and I don't think it can be fixed. Aargh! New scale time. Down 4.3 for the week and 9.3 over two weeks.
08/28 - 307.2 - Standard small uptick on a weekday eat. Still on target for a nice drop for tomorrow.
08/29 - 305.7 - Nice drop. Down 4 lbs. from last Saturday and 6.7 over two weeks. My biggest fear from this weigh loss is starting to take hold... I'm seeing a little excess skin around the edges (thighs and upper arms). My plan was to slow down a bit once I got under 300 lbs. and really focus on weight training and jumping rope. I guess that might start (a little bit) earlier than expected.
08/30 - 309.9 - And back on the roller coaster we go. A lttle too much good food yesterday. That's ok, I'll just start working on dropping back tomorrow. Even if we have a bad day, just jump back on it tomorrow. Same weight as last week and down 4.7 from 2 weeks ago.
08/31 - 308.3 - After a weekend of eating, normally this goes up... way up. But it actually went down. Not complaining, just puzzled. Just makes it easier to keep going.
09/01 - 306.8 - Nice drop after 36 hours (of 42) of fasting. Down 3.5 from last week and 7.1 over two weeks.

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.
08/30 - 142.5 - Well, whoosh! I've been at this long enough to know it will bounce back up, but this really helps my trend line.
08/31 - 143.5 - It's all good, today I'll be carefully tracking my food and drinking water.
09/01 - 143.5 - I'm very happy this stuck today.
