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 125
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
09/04: 209.4 / Fittingly, starting off with my ten-day average from round 124.
09/05: 207.0 / I am a bag of water. (and other things) I think I have recovered from my previous long weekend, just in time for another weekend. Today I help my son and his wife move, so I should burn a few calories. Hope I don’t eat them back. DW will probably be in charge of the precious 3 yr old prince of the family. 😊 Those of you with grandchildren know what I mean.
Have a good Labor Day weekend everyone!
09/06: 207.8 / Even though I logged everything yesterday and got a LOT of exercise, I somehow inched up this morning. Probably because yesterday was a false low. This is why I like to track averages and acknowledge Non-Scale-Victories. Going to try to practice gratitude today.
09/07: 209.4 / Trying to think what may have caused this. Oh, that’s right, I ate a lot. I also rode my bike, but not enough apparently. Planned hike today with DS and family. I might ride some more too.
I just had an extension put on my bike handlebars to I don’t have to bend so low. It was hard on my neck, and my hands were falling asleep. Much better now. I also bought a bike helmet for myself and DW. Inspired by more than one “slip-and-falls” in our families lately. I look like a dork, but oh well, who am I trying to impress?
On a different note, DM (dear mutt) just brought a dead cicada into the house in her mouth. She did NOT want to give it up. DW had to pull it out.
09/08: 210.4
09/09: 210.2 / As the weather gets cooler, I need to pay attention to my calories in-out balance. It seems like comfort food becomes more available and attractive and exercise becomes less available and less attractive.
09/10: 209 / Despite some amazingly poor choices yesterday, I still lost a pound.

09/08 - 169.5 So I weighed every day since after Friday but only entered it all today. Look at that crazy 1 pound up and down. lol I'd like to act like I don't know why my scale is acting like that, but I am a bad liar. Of all the treats I enjoyed over labor day weekend, my 5 mo old grandson was my favorite.
09/09 - 169.9 Lost and Found:Found. 1.1 pounds. Sometimes disguised as 17 ozs. Answers to bad choices, including Dots pretzels, ice cream and the hubs homemade air fryer donuts. Approach with caution. Runs from IF, water, logging balanced nutrition and long walks. Happy to return it to its rightful owner by 9/13.
09/10 - 170.1 So normally a bump up or down of an oz or two doesn't excite me much...but that "7" though! It will NOT be there tomorrow and I'm a bit surprised it is there today after 14,600 steps yesterday.

ROUND 125
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: 17.3 lb
13.9lb to go!
R121: -3.1 lb✔️
R122: -1 lb ✔️
R123: -.2 lb ✔️
R124: -3.4 lb ✔️
Round 125 SW: 178.9 (on 9/3/20)
09/04 – 178.6 – I had a piece of celebration cake yesterday and eliminated some of the other carbs I had planned for the day. The substitute seems to have worked.
09/05 – 179.1 – It’s that TOM, I know I ate more sodium, and my hands feel puffy today. Yep, water retention!
09/06 – 179.1 – Not too bad considering that yesterday I caved into stress and emotional eating. I guess I didn’t overdo it as bad as I thought?
09/07 – 178.5 – I finally feels like I am settling into the 170s and can say goodbye to the 180s!!
09/08 – 178.4 – I wasn’t able to get all of my steps in yesterday, but I met my calorie goal.
09/09 – 178.7 – Seems a little bit of a fluctuation. I managed my 3 goals of calories, steps and water yesterday, but I feel so scattered this week it’s all I can do to hold onto those 3 goals.
09/10 – 177.7 – Today is my weekly weigh-in day, so I was extra careful yesterday. 175 was the weight I settled into for the previous many years, so it’s nice to be in sight of it again.

SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110
Previous rounds: 125.2 -> 122.8 -> 121.6 -> 121.2 -> 119.8-> 119.4 -> 117.8 ->116.6 -> 117.2 ->117.2->114.8 ->116.8 -> 116.4 -> 114.0
Goal weight for this round: Somewhere in the lower 113-114 range. Will be thrilled if this happens because of where I’m at in the month.
Another goal: Embrace the scale fluctuations and not get flustered.
Previous days09/04 114.4 Got a soccer work out in this morning. Feeling sleepy and looking forward to the long holiday weekend. Having the Monday off will be nice and it’ll give me some extra time to cook something fun! I haven’t figured out what but I’m in the mood to experiment this weekend.
We had Bertucci’s delivered last night as a surprise from my father in law’s coworkers but it didn’t hit me too hard. It was a small piece of chicken parm, about 1 ½-2 cups spaghetti, salad, and a roll. I was full afterwards and didn’t feel icky…so that was good 😊. It didn’t make me retain too much water either, which was a plus for me. The meal train is dropping off a crustless quiche for dinner tonight which shouldn’t hurt the water retention either. I’ll just have to embrace the challenge of being ok with not knowing the calorie counts.
09/05 115.0 And up it goes. Meh, at least I know the time of the month that I am at my lowest weight. So, this is expected and I’m learning to embrace the fluctuations. The crustless quiche that was dropped off last night was delicious! It had spinach, basil, some sort of cheese mixed in and a layer of parmesan cheese on top. Tonight, for dinner we plan on making a homemade beef and broccoli dish with CSA broccoli and csa Flank steak. So that should be yummy too!
I plan on doing a spin bike workout this morning once my husband wakes up. Then, it’s most likely a chores day for me. Maybe we’ll go for a walk this morning too if he’s feeling energetic!
09/06 115.2 It’s been a great day so far. This morning my husband and I went for a nice 3ish mile walk and then I followed it up with a 45 minute spin bike workout from Youtube. Then, I got everything done I planned to do yesterday but had zero energy for. Yesterday, I didn’t end up exercising or doing any chores because I was just plain tired.
Today, I made a chorizo, pinto bean and brown rice stew in the pressure cooker. I used some Cajun seasoning, a little bit of onion, two baby bell peppers, ½ lb dried pinto beans, 1 cup dry brown rice, chicken broth, and 1lb of chorizo. First, I browned the chorizo and onion, then cooked the beans with the chorizo and chicken broth at high pressure for 27 minutes, then I added the rice to the beans and meat and cooked everything for another 22ish minutes. I didn’t measure the amount of chicken broth I used (I just eyeballed it). If I had to guess it was about 3-4 cups total of chicken broth. It made a total of 8 cups worth of food and I calculated it out as 2 cups is one serving = ~600 calories (588 if you want to get technical)
Earlier today, I got fancy and made us pancakes for breakfast. They were high fiber and my husband really liked them! .
09/07 114.6 I went for a really nice long walk this morning and multitasked on the phone by catching up with my mom, dad, and someone who is like another mom to me. It was perfect because it made the 8 miles fly by! I had a left-over pancake from yesterday for breakfast along with some fruit and yogurt. The only joking complaint my husband did end up having with the pancakes is that I “poisoned” him with all the fiber and he was tootin all day, lol! My belly is so used to it, it didn’t even bother me. We have a cookout planned with our immediate family today, so I will probably have a cheeseburger with corn on the cob, grilled eggplant, and some watermelon for dessert. I also have some cucumber salad planned for a snack in between. I’m sure I eat a few more things too because I have a good chunk of calories in green from my long walk.
I think the rest of the day will be a chill day laying on the bed with this cuddly fur ball 😊.
09/08 115.2 We went for a nice 5ish mile walk this morning and I ran the last mile of it. Cookout food went well last night, it was just a touch salty. Our CSA pick up was awesome yesterday! We got a big head of green cabbage for the first time, a gorgeous daikon radish and the biggest red radishes I’ve ever seen. We also got a couple of cute eggplants that I’m going to make a Crock-Pot Indian dish with them. There was even more produce that we got but I can’t remember everything. Today for breakfast/lunch, I plan on having the stew I made on Sunday and for a snack I’m going to make a microwave protein apple cake with one of the CSA apples we got. It’s usually a chocolate cake but I thought I would play with the recipe and add apple and applesauce to it with a few other spices. Then for dinner we are having steak tips and potatoes and salad for dinner. Have good day!
09/09 114.6 We did a good soccer workout this morning. Not too much excitement to report for today. I’m just looking forward to my fresh apples and nectarines to go with my yogurt and granola for breakfast today! Happy hump day!
09/10 114.4 5 mile walk completed this morning. Very sleepy today, woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t fall back to sleep for a bit. Our apartment is still really warm and I can’t wait to have AC next summer. I never realized how much the heat affects my sleep until this year, even though we’ve been living in the same place for the past 6 or 7 years. Maybe as I edge towards 30 I notice it more? I don’t know but I do find myself a lot warmer than I used to be. Any who!
I have a Baignan Bharta recipe I want to make for dinner tonight to use up our abundance of eggplant and couple of tomatoes. It should be nice to have Indian food for a change! I think I’ll serve it with brown basmati rice and a salad. Then, watermelon for dessert!
Have a happy Thursday!

Day/Weight/Comment
09/04 - 191.6 I'm happy to see that. After my daughter's softball game yesterday she really wanted a caramel frappe from McDonalds, which also happens to be my weakness. I had iron clad willpower and didn't get one for myself as well lol
I set my goal to lose 3 lbs in this challenge, which seems like a little too much but I really can't wait to see the 180's, so I'm hoping that my willpower sticks around! My youngest 2 kiddos and I are going to our lake lots to camp this weekend so I wont be weighing in tomorrow, and I'm sure there will be a small bump in my weight. Have a good weekend
09/05 - DNW. We are camping. Ate horribly yesterday 😮 I'm going to try to do way better today!
09/06 -193.4 We came home a day early from camping. I knew there would be a jump in my weight but I didn't think it would be nearly 2 lbs. For some reason even if I eat healthy when we are camping I still hold onto some extra weight for a few days. I'm still optimistic that I will see the 180's in this challenge, but if not, I won't beat myself up for it. I think this camping trip was our last for the summer and the 2 lbs was worth it
09/07 - 191.8 That's better! Happy Labor Day, hope you all have a great one! I work today so I will get plenty of steps in.
09/08 - 191.0 I definitely got plenty of steps in yesterday. I'm a waitress and I'm starting to see that my knees dont hurt as much anymore after a long busy shift. I'm very thankful for that. I was able to go for a walk last night and still had energy. I like these non scale victories as much as I do seeing the scale move!
09/09 - 189.8 I got to see the 180's, barely but I made it!! Now I just hope I can keep them around. The lowest I got the last time I tried to lose weight was 183, so that is my first mini goal this go around.
09/10 - 189.2 Very close to my round goal. It's raining here so I'm not sure that I will get in a walk today. I'm also off work today, so I will try to keep myself busy around the house to get some steps in.

Day/Weight/Walking distance/Comment:
9/8 166.1 Walked 3.25 miles Holiday went well, bbq'd with roommate and her kids. Didn't overeat and I got in a good walk. I'm still not logging in on the weekend to update this. I took Friday off for a long holiday weekend. Ended up hiking 5 miles on Friday and 4 miles on Saturday. I'm surprised I'm not down a little bit more, sodium as always is my bugaboo. My boyfriend has moved closer to me in addition to changing jobs. All the things that made it harder to see him are gone. We're spending tons of time together and it's great. However, he likes that I've lost weight (mostly he likes what 500 miles of walking does to your booty) but he also tries to talk me into pastries. We're going shopping tonight and I'm getting fruit. He can have his cream pastries and I'll have a banana. It's all growing pains and figuring this stuff out. Happy Tuesday ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9/9 166.3 Walked 0 miles Rain, rain, rain. No walking last night or this morning but it looks good for tonight. I feel like I'm carrying a pound or two of water weight. Fingers crossed it will drop off sooner rather than later.
9/10 164.3 Walked 1.09 mile WooHoo the water is gone! Of course the rain is still here. It got me last night, I had to turn around after half a mile. Sinuses are bothering me and I didn't sleep well. The boyfriend's new mattress and I are not getting along.7 -

Day/Weight/Calories Previous Day/Snack Status/Comment
9/4 - 181.2 - 1357 - snack <200 - walked 70 min 😊
Yesterday was a good day. For whatever reason(s), I feel much more in control and determined. I seem to be succeeding at curtailing my night-time snack habit. I’ve set a goal of losing 1 pound/round, which seems realistic even with holiday season coming up. I guess one good thing about the lack of social gatherings is the reduced supply of beautiful goodies everywhere! Anyway, here’s to a great round for everyone.
9/5 - 182 - 1372 - snack >200 ☹️ - walked 50 min
There’s an uptick that makes me scratch my head. Oh, well. I’ve been making my calorie goal and my average is just barely higher, so on the right track. It’s cool and lovely here today and I hope to finish my current garden bed expansion and then maybe do some painting. All good! Have a lovely Saturday, all!
9/6 - 181.2 - 1672 - snack 🍨 >200 😐 - 3 hrs digging and hauling dirt 🙂
I went over my goal yesterday but did a lot of heavy work in the garden, and I was hungry! It’s ok, and I finished expanding one border, so the new area is read for plating. Today’s project — refinishing an end table I got for $20. This morning I sanded the old finish off the top. I plant to put a light stain on it and paint the body and legs. Primer on the lower parts this afternoon! Do something creative today — it’s good for the soul!
9/7 - 181.8 - 1659 ☹️ - snack Triscuits & cheese - walked 65 min
No idea why I got snacky last night, but today will be better. I’ve promised myself! Off to get stain for my end table top. I painted the body and legs yesterday and they look great — I’m excited to see it finished! Have a safe & happy Labor Day, and remember the people who worked hard for workers’ benefits and safety.
9/8 - 181.4 - 1507 - snack 🍿
Ok, holiday over, back to fighting off the snack monster. Lots to do today, which should help. I finished my end table makeover. Still drying, so ignore the backdrop, but what do you think? It started with a beat up, very dark cherry finish.
9/9 - 182.4 ☹️ - 1735 ☹️ - snack 🍨
Aaack! Very very not-on-track day yesterday! We had tuna casserole for dinner (yep, the old-fashioned kind) and then for who knows why I had ice cream later. I wasn’t even hungry. 😡 Obviously some of the gain is water, but still.... otoh, my calorie average is below maintenance, so this should be a minor glitch. It’s really cool today, so off for a long walk. I read how on track the rest of you are and feel inspired to get control again. Thank you all!
9/10 - 181.8 - 1597 - snack Triscuits
I did reasonably well yesterday, though high on sodium from leftover casserole and my Triscuit snack. Feeling a little puffy, but not bad. I’m in a small creative-women’s support group (just four of us — I’m a writer/painter, one painter/interior designer, one rug hooker, one quilter) — and we’ve been meeting outdoors at one another’s homes all summer (zooming March - April). Tonight they’re coming here and we decided to make it dinner this time since it may be our last outdoor face-to-face (distanced!) for a while. So I probably won’t pig out too much, but expect higher than normal calories. It will be worth it — these 3 are a major link to sanity at the moment! Hoping all of you in the West are safe, and wishing you all beauty, friendship, and delight.

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.

9/4 115.5 Just learned that DGS#1 is coming home this weekend. He works and goes to school in Phoenix.
9/5 116.0
9/6 117.0 No TMI x 2 days. High carb day yesterday. Margaritas! Going to the neighbors’ for ??dinner?? at 5. Later than we usually eat and no idea what it will be plus she will be sure to send home leftovers - I understand it is a Filipino custom.
9/7 118.0 I track Monday morning weigh ins in another group and noticed this morning that this is the 4th first Monday of the month that I have been 118.0 What an odd coincidence!
9/8 119.0 I expected the carb loaded weekend to catch up. Did not sleep well. Out to lunch with the ladies today.
9/9 117.0 I had steak instead of gyro meat, no pita, but ate some of the fries. Trying to fast until tomorrow morning at 7:30 - 36 hours. If I post that goal in enough places, maybe I’ll be able to make it!
9/10 116.0 I’ve made it to 36+ hours of fasting. I feel so good! Had one brief period of hunger right before the 24 hour mark. I’m reading a book about fasting and in the little I have read, I have learned so much about it. All the good things it does for your body. Going for 42 hours now since I’m not at all hungry!

Day/Weight/Comment
09/04 141 Wow. I’m down 14.8 lbs since April and have 1 more pound to go before starting maintenance. One day at a time, choosing hope, intermittent fasting, and tracking along with people in THIS GROUP almost every morning have helped me meet my 10-day goals! Staying in community really does help! I never felt I had to lose weight before but 15 lbs makes such a big difference on my frame and on my mindset. I’m grateful for you all sharing your struggles and triumphs together and allowing me to be a part of it. Thank YOU for posting today. 🤗
09/05 140.4 I want to be careful with dinner tonight. There will be cheesecake for dessert

Day/Weight/Comment
09/07 - 73.8 - Round start weight
09/08 - 73.9 - Judo yesterday so probably retaining all the water although I'm not feeling that sore today, which is eternally worrying. Calories were under before the exercise calories so I've got a nice buffer for the rest of the week. Feeling very tired today, so not looking forward to my expenditure value for today.
09/09 - 73.5 - Well that's more like it. Yesterday was a pretty lazy day to be honest. I had a couple of things planned and instead I spent most of the evening sitting on the sofa playing games. I was tired, sue me. Actually I still am tired. Trying to find the motivation to go for a run at lunch today (which was my plan and one of the reasons I'm WFH today). I ate fine yesterday though, so you know, not all bad
09/10 - 73.7 - High anxiety day yesterday and didn't end up going out for my run. Did a small bunch of other house tasks instead (and finally dyed my hair), but my activity was very low. However my eating was nice and low too, so my in/out was actually on track, and I ate pizza yesterday. So all in all a pretty okay day yesterday actually.

Goal for this round: to lose 1 lb. It would be even better to get below 190!
I plan to keep my calories around 12-1300 each day and continue drinking all my water.

Round 125 SW 191.8 EW ?
Day/Weight/Comment
09/04 191.8 to start this round. I didn't drink enough water yesterday and didn't realize it until bedtime. Also, I thought I came in at 1293 calories yesterday and then realized I also ate walnuts as I was cooking bc I waited too long to start dinner. Plan for today.. only snack at planned snack time. Do not eat mindlessly.
09/05 192.8 today, I didn't mindlessly snack but we went out for dinner last night. I had half a nacho order and it was DELICIOUS but I'm paying the price in salt water weight today! Water water!
09/06 191.6 water weight dropped off a bit. healthy groceries for this week with minimal "treats" so not very many temptations are available.
09/07 192.0 up down up down. My trend line on libra still shows down so I'll take it. I went to yoga yesterday and my shoulders and hamstrings are so sore today! Also my girlfriends and are have having an afternoon tea today complete with scones and clotted cream, so I'm budgeting my calories around that!
09/08 191.2 lowest number this round. we shall see about tomorrow, I had a higher cal day and a bit salty dinner.
09/09 192.4 sitting on the trend line today, so I hope for a drop tomorrow to keep the momentum going. Plan for today:
B: coffee and more coffee, greek yogurt and berries
L: greek Salad with chicken dressed with olive oil and balsamic
Snack: carrots and cucumbers with light ranch dip, green tea
Dinner : cod with lemon and green beans, cinnamon apples with chopped walnuts for dessert
09/10 190.2! back on track with the downward trend and super excited for this number. fingers crossed it sticks

I will be back for another round. This will be my second since leaving in February and returning. This should be an interesting round. Hopefully it works out in my favor! Goal is to drop 2 pounds and be at or under 162.xx for 50% of the time.
Rnd 124 SW - 169 EW - 164.3 (-4.7)
09/04 - 164.3 I stayed the same so I am probably done losing all of my water weight. Hopefully I can have another nice drop or 2 this round. I have some dental work later this afternoon, so I doubt I will be eating dinner. I hate going to the dentist and didn't sleep well last night because of it. I will be glad when it is done!
09/05 - 164.7 didn’t eat anything after dental work last night and woke up to shark week a couple days early. Hopefully will go down soon.
09/06 - 161.3 didn’t eat much yesterday because of my dental work from the day before and stomach issues. I’m going to stay on track today and hope I don’t see too big of a spike tomorrow after eating more today.
09/07 - 162.8 I am ok with this. Ate a little more than the last couple of days, but definitely not getting my water in. I can't drink with a straw and hate drinking without one.
09/08 - 164.8 I have no idea where this came from. I did go out and eat sushi yesterday with my kids for an early bday dinner, but didn't think I did this bad and it was my only meal of the day. I am on antibiotics for my tooth, so maybe between the soy sauce and the antibiotics I am retaining a ton of water weight. I know my ring was super tight yesterday and today, which was weird because even a couple of weeks ago when I was 8 pounds heavier it wasn't tight. I am also still dealing with shark week, so it could just be a combination of everything. I am hoping to see a large dip tomorrow. 4 days of eating hardly anything and not having any alcohol should pay off a little bit. Back at work today and have all meals planned.
09/09 - 164.3 I have no idea. It should have gone back down. Maybe this has to do with TOM or the scale is just taunting me right now. Either way I am going to stay on track. I really wanted to end this round with a loss. I can't believe I am back in the 160's after everything it took me last time to get out of them, but I will do what it takes to see the 150's again.
09/10 - 164.8 I am now officially frustrated! It has to be the antibiotics that I am on. There is no other reason for this jump the last couple of days. My ring is still very tight, but I am chugging water and nothing is happening. I will be done with them tomorrow, so hopefully I will see a loss before the end of the round. Oh well, it's my birthday and all of my kids will be coming over tonight. We will be ordering pizza and watching the first football game of the year. I have already made a big salad to go along with the pizza, so that will be my main dish. I have a small biopsy procedure tomorrow that will put me down for the next couple of days, so I don't know if I will be able to check in the, but will be fine by Sunday. 3 days left, we will see what happens.
09/11 - A little biopsy procedure

10 DAY GOALS: (1) 10-minutes daily activity (2) Log all food and stay in calorie range (3) Weigh daily and post
Age: 40
Height: 5'7"
Highest weight 158 (3/9/19)
Round 125 starting weight: 144.2
Goal weight: 127
Day/Weight/Comment
09/04 144.2 I'd like to see 143 this round. Happy with this as a starting point!
09/05 144.2 I usually plateau right before I lose, so if I can get through the weekend on track, I might be in for 143 or even 142 very soon. Funny how you can look forward to seeing numbers that once would have been upsetting. I was in the 120s in March, pre-quarantine. Sigh.
09/06 143.6 All right! Now I expect to toggle between 144/143 for a bit. With a week left in this round, I think I'm headed for a real loss this time. That would be encouraging more for what it represents: finally taking charge of my quarantine weight gain and moving closer to the maintenance weight I'd worked so hard to achieve last year.
09/07 142.4 Didn't expect this at all! Yesterday was one of the most stressful days I've experienced in the last few years. A family member had a medical emergency and required emergency treatment (they're okay, thankfully). I was briefly tempted to indulge in a treat I gave my kids, but reminded myself of something I'd read by some wise MFPer (I'd credit them if I could remember who it was): If hunger isn't the problem, food isn't the solution.
09/08 144.2 Not really viewing this as a setback. I had a ton of sodium yesterday. Stayed on track in calories, but all of it was take-out. Things should be calmer today, and I'll be able to eat at home. When the scale treats you to random gains for no apparent reason, it's good to keep in mind some of the reminders @TerriRichardson112 posts: "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."
And my downward trend is looking good, guys!
09/09 143.0 Yesterday was an odd eating day for sure. I tried a protein shake that I couldn't finish (both because it was super filling and gross), so I ended up with only 150 calories until dinnertime. Kind of OMAD-style, I had a lot more calories to 'spend' in the evening, which was fun. Ice cream after dinner, plus a mini Coke (90 calories of my favorite soda- a much more reasonable serving size in a cute little can!). And I was still under calories overall. Not an everyday strategy, but it worked out.
09/10 143.0 Actually ended up eating fairly similar to the day before. Protein shake was all I had time for. Would like to see 142 to end this round, but if not, I'll be there shortly. All I can do is control the process, not the resulting number on the scale.

9/4: 224.8 (+0.4)/20.1 (+0.1). My days have been really busy, and I'm finding it hard to find time to post right now. Just know that I'm still committed to this group, and to my journey toward health and fitness.
9/5: 224.4 (-0.4)/20.0 (-0.1). Thursday was my wife's birthday, and we had steak, wine, and chocolate-covered strawberries. Yesterday was apparently ALSO my wife's birthday, and she wanted to try gigantic breakfast burritos from a local restaurant. I did not eat lunch, and I barely snacked for dinner, because I was SO FULL from breakfast. I probably should have split the thing in two. TODAY is ALSO MY WIFE'S BIRTHDAY, as we're going to her family's home for some home-cooked deliciousness. What do I have to say for myself? So far, so good. It hasn't been perfect, but I'm minimizing the damage reasonably effectively. I'm also noticing, on my fifth challenge back, that the average body weight calculations I have been performing have actually been reasonably accurate, mirroring the program I've been using to graph my daily weight. I'm feeling pretty good today. (P.S. - I used my rowing machine yesterday for the first time in months)
9/6: 226.8 (+2.4)/19.3 (+0.3).
9/7: 227.2 (+0.4)/19.3 (+0.3).
9/8: 228.0 (+0.8)/19.4 (+0.1).
9/9: 227.0 (-1.0)/19.4 (0.0).
9/10: 228.8 (+1.8)/19.5 (+0.1). It was really tempting not to come back here. The past five days have been terrible weight-wise, and they have been very difficult overall. Work has been getting worse, and yesterday was probably the worst day I have had there in five months. The trend graph I have been using reflects all this. All the ingredients are there for me to just give up, and disappear. I haven't actually considered it, but it feels important to acknowledge this reality. My eating has been $#!+, but as I like to tell my clients, every moment is an opportunity to turn things around. I've been here a couple of months, and I have had a lot of success so far. I KNOW what I need to do. Today is going to be the day that I turn things back around. Exercise is OUT for now, though; I'm a few miles from some very bad fires here in SoCal, and the air quality is terrible.

Checking in here also gives me a chance to be introspective about this process, and because I save all my entries on a notepad, it gives me a record of what worked and what didn't, what my binge triggers are, how long it actually takes to lose, etc. I was never the type to keep up with a journal, but this group accomplishes the same thing for me. What a huge revelation it's been to learn that abandoning the group after entering maintenance (during quarantine, no less) was a surefire way to regain. I won't make that mistake again!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.
