09/14 - 143.5
09/15 - 144 - Hopefully, this is the end of my weekend bounce. Weight loss calories and extra water for the rest of the week.
09/16 - 144 - OK, I'm going to work on getting this down before the weekend.
09/17 - 143.5 - DH and I took a long walk starting from a newly discovered (to us) trailhead on the Ohio/Erie Canal towpath last night. We've walked along the towpath from many different trailheads, but somehow we missed the one that was closest to our house.

R126: Form good habits and they will be just as hard to break as bad ones. This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
🎯Mini Goal: 225 I’ll no longer be morbidly obese

Date – Morning weigh in – Previous day summary:
09/14 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 Well the roofers did not finish so we are still at the camp and I don’t have an ending weight for R125 nor a starting weight for R126. But I’m checking in! Walked 3+ miles yesterday morning, tracked food.
09/15 227.7 Finally stepped on the scale. I’m solidly in the 20s and closer to my mini goal. First time in many years I did not gain weight at the camp! Down 1.6 lbs. Yesterday long day in the car 5 hrs returning from the camp, grocery shopping, etc. But tracked, didn’t stop for fast food, drank a ton of water, AF and went on an evening 1+ mile walk.
09/16 227.5 3 mile walk, bike, hand weights, tracked food, 2 glasses of wine. Lots of time spent on reflection, mini goals, habits, and not returning back up to the 230s or 240s like I have in the past.
09/17 227.0 3 mile walk, tracked food, AF. DH had a craving for fried chicken. Popeyes Chicken Breast but tossed the biscuits in the trash immediately then cooked my own green beans as a side and did not break my calorie or carb goals for the day. Bye Bye 18 pounds! I’m not losing weight. I’m getting rid of it with no intention of finding it again.
09/18 226.1 Walked 3 miles, biked, hand weights, tracked food and passed on the wine at an event! At the serving table I focused on what was on my food plan instead of what wasn’t and did not feel deprived at all. Good day.

Day/Weight/Comment

09/14 188.4 My daughter's 16th Bday! She doesn't want cake but wants Domino's pizza for dinner. I'm going to try my best to make good choices. Also, how do you make time slow down???

09/15 188.4 Been the same weight for 4 or 5 days now. Still staying within my calorie budget and trying to avoid excess salt. Slow and steady wins the race, right?

09/16 188.4 again. I guess staying the same is better than gaining, even if it is frustrating!

09/17 188.4 Is this a plateau? It's driving me crazy lol The .4 isn't even moving, it's weird to me.

09/18 187.0 Finally a different number! Also, T.O.M showed up early by over a week. That never happens for me. I know that changing your diet and adding exercise can cause your cycle to be off, but every time in the past, that means it's been late. And, it also means an increase in weight for a few days, not a loss. Not that I'm complaining though! It's also been a few years since I've tried to lose weight so maybe my body is just responding different now. Anyway, happy Friday!

Goal weight for this round: I really want to see 113 this round. I’m almost positive it can happen!
Another goal: Embrace the scale fluctuations and not get flustered.
Previous days

09/14 115.2 We did a soccer workout this morning with a lower intensity. That worked well because my body just wasn’t feeling quite right. I feel really sleepy today for some reason even though I feel like I slept okay.
Typical day food wise, I’ve been enjoying my switch in the morning by having eggs with thin sliced cheddar on Dave’s Killer Multi grain toast and then the other slice I add peanut butter and a drizzle of honey and have a side of fruit. Then, for my snack I’ll have fruit with yogurt and granola. Dinner tonight will be leftover roasted cabbage with CSA salad greens and whatever else I decide to add to it…I’m thinking I’ll eat more cantaloupe and yogurt for dessert because we are getting more melons in our share today!

09/15 114.0 Woo, back down to 114 😊. I’m happy I’ve been seeing this number more over the past month. It makes me know it’s more of my real weight now and not a low fluctuation. I went for a nice walk with my father in law this morning, and as we were heading back we spotted my husband walking back as well. I decided to extend my walk and my husband joined me on the extension, so it was a nice morning of walking a little less than 6 miles. The slightly cooler temps in our apartment are making it easier to sleep better, and I’m so happy about that. Sleep is so vital for me because if I don’t sleep well, I’m useless for the day when it comes to getting much done with work and whatever else. Food is looking pretty good for today, toast with egg and cheese for breakfast, roast pork with mashed potatoes for dinner with carrots and salad. I’m also excited to try the plums for my snack today that we got from our CSA yesterday!

09/16 114.0 We did a great soccer workout this morning! I’m excited today to go to the city and get my flu shot (not really excited for the shot, but it’s an excuse for all of my colleagues to meet outside and then eat lunch in the bright sun after we all get poked) I haven’t seen them in person since March, so it will be nice to have a real conversation and not on Skype or Zoom! I have a peanut butter sandwich on Dave’s Killer Multigrain bread packed and a fruit salad (apple, nectarine, and black berries) with yogurt for dessert 😊. Dinner will be roasted chicken drum sticks with salad and I will save room for lemon polenta cake that was given to us last night as part of the dinner train. Have a wonderful day everyone!

09/17 114.2 Went for a nice walk this morning and enjoyed the 60 degree weather. We plan on heading to NH tomorrow night to get away for a couple nights, and I’m so happy about that! Yesterday’s food went well and I stayed the course, except for adding roasted radishes and beets to dinner last night. This summer I realized that I love roasted radishes! They are so good roasted and get very mild tasting 😊. On the menu tonight for dinner is spinach ravioli with sauteed spigariello (also know as broccoli leaf), tomatoes, and scallions. The ravioli are good because they calories aren’t the worst for something quick. The entire package of 6 large ravioli are 410 calories. So my dinner should only clock in at 600ish calories with the sides. Busy day with work and just now getting around to posting! Have a good rest of your day!

09/18 114.2 We did a solid soccer workout this morning! It felt so good and I had lots of energy for it. I think I ate more than usual yesterday and I wonder if that helped my workout this morning. It makes me contemplate a much slower loss and only give myself a 100 calorie deficit instead of a 200-250 one during the week (on the weekend I give myself only a 75 calorie deficit). I’ll have to experiment and see how I feel. It could also be where I’m at in my cycle and it’s during the time where I’m supposed to have more energy for higher intensity workouts. So, who knows? What I do know is that I lost a pound of water weight during my workout today because I was 113.2 post workout. I weigh myself after just to see how much I need to hydrate afterward.

This afternoon we are off to NH, so I probably won’t be posting on Saturday or Sunday. We plan on going for a drive to go through some towns we’ve never been to and also waving to the Canadian border because I’ve never been up that far by car. (We went to Jasper, Canada by plane about 4 or 5 years ago...my goodness was that place SPECTACULARLY BEAUTIFUL! Oh how I miss it there!)
Well, have a good weekend everyone!

OK Ready to try again
I got way off track last round, Trying not to be an emotional eater, I found myself craving a drink at the end of the day. I have never been much of a drinker. I could count on my fingers how many drinks I have in a year, so this was alarming. So I had a snack instead and within a couple of days all my old bad eating habits were back. I don't have a solution right now - but I have to keep trying. I have special needs adults in my family who depend on me to be there for them 24/7. I need my health.

RSW216.6

Day/Weight/Comment
09/14 215.6 another tough day - if DS2 does not get his act together by Friday -take his meds, have a shower etc doctor will 'form" him. I am still hoping it won't come to that - but also very scared that it will.
09/15 214.6
09/16 213.8 Happy with how fast I am regaining lost ground - (re-losing gained ground?) Taking the doggo on extra walks to help manage the stress.
09/17 213.4 not enough sleep last night - will have to work extra hard on the impulse control today.
09/18 213.0 Happy with this A lot is riding on the doctors decision today. DS has not improved, but he has not gotten any worse - hoping that will be enough to keep him at home.

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 126
Month/Day: Weight / Comment

09/14: 209.4 / This is the reading with which I started the last round. Déjà vu? Let’s hope not. Back at it for another round.

09/15: 208.0 / Ate reasonably well yesterday and had a nice evening walk with DW. I need to examine each day, or else…

09/16: 207.2 / Have a good Wednesday everyone! DW is watching DGS today, so I had a couple small pancakes for breakfast. (I benefit from the leavings of the prince. I had to hurry because he was shoveling them in! Ha!) I will need to make some other kind of sacrifice to pay for the pancakes.

09/17: 208.2 / Pancakes were not the only poor decision yesterday. And I had meetings all day yesterday and into the evening. Not a lot of movement. Actually, I am happy with this small gain.

09/18: 208.4 / Going to try today to use my mouth more as a “word hole” and less as a “pie hole.” Hard to do as an introvert.

That's cool you've been there too! It was so amazing up there! We hiked the Skyline trail and it was so breathtaking for pretty much the entire trail. Even just walking through town and visiting the lakes/rivers were gorgeous. I could go on for days about the beauty in that area. What did you do when you were up there?

Day/Weight/Walking distance/Comment:

9/14 167.2 Walked 3.01 Rough trail walk yesterday. Had to do a little rock climbing, nothing too hard but strenuous workout. No clue why my weight is up again today. I have been watching my calories and sodium. Maybe retaining water from tough workouts?

9/15 167.0 Walked 3.05 East breezy walk last night. You guys I love my bf but he makes the weirdest food combinations. Air fried chicken breast - with mushroom pho noodle bowl. He's so proud of himself because he checked the calories and they were both good. Of course not a veggie in sight but he's thinking about my food needs and I appreciate that so much. The sun is shining today, no problem getting a walk in today!

9/16 165.9 Walked 5.08 Beautiful weather, trail close to the house. I guess that bump was water weight as it's gone now.

9/17 166.2 Walked 2.03 Short walk, didn't have a lot of time. Why do I eat Asian food? The calories can be low (if you watch the sauces) and there are a lot of veggies, but the sodium. Oh well. Weather is beautiful again, trying to think of somewhere different to go tonight.

9/18 166.4 Hiked 2.02 I didn't have enough time to do more and I was trying a new part of a trail I do occasionally. I found out it's mostly for bikes, apparently. I almost got ran over so I didn't mind cutting it short. The west side of the road is for hikers and the east side is for mountain bikes, as the biker explained. One very nicely, the other guy was a jerk. If there are no signs, and the website doesn't say anything how are people supposed to know this unwritten rule. Someone almost runs me down and then yells at me. Oh well. Luckily the opinion of a 24 year old mountain biker isn't an important one to me. Happy Friday!!!

Day/Weight/Calories Previous Day/Snack Status/Comment

9/14 - 181.6 - 1596 - snack late in lieu of dinner - pear, Eng muffin w/cheese
Weird eating day yesterday as DH wanted pizza (veggie) for lunch. I kept my calories reasonable, but ate later than planned (wasnt hungry at supper time, but I was later). Probably same today with leftover pizza, but I’m planning my day better. @quiltingjaine, I’m reading Life in the Fasting Lane and am thinking of trying it. Actually no snacks between dinner (we eat early) and breakfast pretty much does it, I think. We shall see. Off for a walk.

9/15 - 182.8 - 1756 - snack 🍨
Today’s the day. Cutting refined carbs as much as possible, starting with a cheese omelette for breakfast instead of cereal. I had ice cream last night and savored it as my last indulgence until I drop at least 20 pounds. I’m making salmon salad for lunch — yummy with broccoli slaw. If I fill up on protein, fat, and veggies 🧀🥚🍳🥦🥕🥒🥬, I shouldn’t crave snacks later. This time I mean it. I feel ready, if that makes any sense. Also, I refinished a dresser over the weekend — got it cheap, banged up. Here it is now.

9/16 - 181.4 - 1086 - no snacks ⭐️
I had a good day yesterday. Now to rinse and repeat!

9/17 - 181 - 1278 - no snacks ⭐️
Two days in a row without snacking. Yay! I was really hungry last night watching a movie, but I held out. I know partly that’s trained hunger that will pass eventually. Onward!

9/18 - 181 - 1723 - snack muesli & almond milk
A minor slip. A friend in coming for late breakfast in the garden, and wanted a Panera Bread bear claw. DH wanted an Asiago bagel. I made the Panera run and got Greek yogurt with mixed berries For myself. Is my halo all nice and sparkly or what?

I love the accountability of this challenge~ !

Goal for this round: to lose 1 lb.
I plan to keep my calories around 12-1300 each day and continue drinking all my water.

Round 124 SW 193.4 EW 191.6 (-1.8 )
Round 125 SW 191.8 EW 188.3 (-3.5)
Round 126 SW 188.6 EW ?

It would be fantastic to reach 186.x this round, as that will take me out of the obese BMI and into overweight instead.

Day, Weight, Comment

09/14 188.6 I definitely made a post but it seems to have been eaten by the internet. Ah well try again!

09/15 188.6 again is good for me. I was expecting a stall after the drop from last round, and my dinner was quite salty last night. I also decided to eat a few more calories bc I was so very hungry. So I tried to eat at maintenance calories, I'm feeling better today and shooting for 1300 to maintain my downward trajectory

09/16 188.8 welp I was looking over my old weight loss entries from 2017 (lost 30 lbs!) and I noticed that I would stay the same for several days and then lose a couple pounds all at once. I think I'm just not an incremental loser, my body is stubborn but if I'm patient it will get on board with the program. Estimated calories yesterday 1224.

09/17 188.6 still hanging in here but my BF % was low, so maybe I have some water weight hanging around. My estimated calories yesterday were 1375 so a bit higher. shooting for 1300 today.

09/18 188.0 the scale budged! Good news~ and I even saw 187.x flash on there but try as I might I couldn't get it to cooperate, haha! Total estimated calories yesterday was 1477

higher than I wanted but I needed some chocolate in my life bad. I have to eat light today to save some cals for the dinner party tonight, which I am hosting. My contribution is beef and potato picnic pies and a big pan of roasted ginger carrots. Maybe a spinach salad also with walnuts, strawberries and feta.

A few years ago I weighed around 410 lbs, and I started walking everywhere and eventually lost 122 lbs.⬇️ However, I allowed life to get in the way of my weight-loss. Over the past two years I've stayed around 288 lbs, 😩 and I finally made the decision to complete my weight-loss journey, and joined this challenge. I have (82.2 lbs) to go to reach my ultimate goal as of today. 😄

We can achieve our goals together!! 🌟 We can do this. 😄

Female, 6'0
Highest Weight: 410?
Restart Weight: 288.
Ultimate Goal Weight: 198
Challenge Goal Weight: (1st- 285) (2nd- 281.2) (3rd- 278.2?)

Day/Weight/Comment

09/14: 288

09/15: 283.6 (-4.4) I think the reason I lost so much, is that I've been in a lot of pain the last few days and haven't felt like eaten to much. I tend not to feel like eating anything when not feeling well. I do try to eat at least something.

09/16: 282.8 (-0.8) I thought the scale would show a gain, since I ate a little over my daily calorie goal yesterday. Especially, since I haven't eaten much the last few days. I'm really happy for a loss. 😄

09/17: 281.2 (-1.6) Yesterday, I stayed under my daily calorie goal of 1,500 by 30 calories. I'm happy that the weight is still coming off. 😄 .2 oz to go to reach my second goal. 🎉

09/18: 280.2 (-1.0) ⬇️ Happy to see the weight still going in the right direction.😄

Ten Day Challenge

9/15 and getting stronger. Love this challenge....I start my day with weighing (use a Withings and heart rate monitor to track). For four months - a day at a time- I have not deviated from my lifestyle plan (spiritual, mental, and physical). Last month I lost nine pounds, but for the last two weeks (with a continuing 900+ calorie deficit daily and no eating back my exercise calories) I've continued to hover at 195. The science says this is not possible, so I've reviewed the charts and reflected on daily goals. I've kept my fat at 10% and continued with the deficit I'm trusting the process. The good news is my muscle gain is gently rising as my fat is slowly descending on the chart. I'm also seeing more strength and energy during my workouts. Yesterday, I had the best workout in the last four months of this journey. I'm welcoming this challenge as a new strategy to confirm that I will meet my goal of being out of the 190s by the end of the month. Best wishes to each of us....by staying in the moment making consistent daily positive choices towards health (on all levels) we will reach of goals! Thank you @ Grandma Jackie for this opportunity!

9/16 and maintaining fierce dedication to my lifestyle!!! I'm learning patience is a strategy for success. I'm slowly gaining strength/energy which is a priority. I know the weight loss will be certain throughout this journey. Today I received the kettlebell that was ordered and looking forward to adding it into the fitness routine. Grateful for this opportunity and wishing everyone success with their daily goals.

9/17 and still noodling around the same weight. I'm donning my warrior gear and choose to look at the positive side of this odyssey....getting healthier, getting stronger, not gaining fat, mental strength, patience. So am I doomed to be the strong fat girl! I'm keeping my calories at a 900+ deficit and eat nutrient dense meals that are wholesome and filling. I'm increasing my fitness regime in monthly increments. I log in daily so aware of my calories, macros/micros, and all the biometrics on the Withings scale. I"m keeping the faith and will reflect at the end of the month. In the meantime, I'll be diligent, kind, and a bit self indulgent with scented epsom baths, the luxury of deep sleep, watching my garden grow, and letting my body know that I am safe and happy so there is no survival need to hang on to the chunkiness. Congratulations to all those that are successful and wishes for patience and knowledge that we will be joining their ranks for the rest of us. Just takes time....and when I think of where I was 6 months ago, I know that I can fly. Just have to let go of the weight holding me earthbound!

9/18 and a 17 day plateau has been broken! I woke up this am grateful for another day on this earth but thinking I really need some validation that all this work is making a difference after 17 days of bouncing between 194.7-195.2. Hang in there for all of you that are frustrated ....it will! I felt a hip bone last night and have lost an inch in my chest (oh well, it is just part of the overall plan and I'll take it where ever it occurs). I never allow myself to get hungry and usually stop eating between 5-6:00. Last night I had a bit of an appetite and had calories left to consume. So I picked the most colorful plate in the cupboard and filled it with fresh chopped cauliflower, grape tomatoes, celery, red bell pepper, and radish. I sprinkled Table Tasty and drizzled Bragg's apple cider vinegar dressing (without olive oil) over the festive plate. This is one of my go-to snacks and I still maintained my 900+ deficit for the day. So satisfying, tasty, and chock full of nutrition....love eating this way! Because I ate later than usual, I was set to receive the same old - same old when I faced the scale. But the science won out....finally a break through! So happy to report good news...but I know I need to maintain a balanced approach. There will be up days and down....the downward trend is bound to happen if I just stay the course. Wishing every one a day filled with joy and making the right choices for you. The magic will happen!

Got my 16hr fast (maybe a little longer as I always forget to check what time it is when I finish dinner but I know it is about 730-ish every night). Not sure if dinner helped me hit my calorie goal as lunch was a little on the low side. No way to track it, unfortunately, except very very estimated guesses. Hit my step goal and almost reached 10k steps despite being in training. Every break I got up to go outside and pace a bit for movement. (Plus outside I could take my mask off - Anxiety from a traumatic event causes me to go into full on panic mode when I wear one. Like hyperventilating, accidentally attacking people trying to help me because I feel like I'm being attacked... Already happened once in the store at the beginning of all this, don't want a repeat. Been looking for a visor or something that doesn't touch my face/neck that is acceptable but no luck so far. A constant battle against my brain when I have to go out ): I just try to avoid it at all costs)

Previous Day's Comments

09/14 - This is what lactose and upset stomach looks like on me. I ordered soy but they gave me milk. Didn't know until late last night and by then taking my lactose pills didn't do much as it was too long after eating. Woke up with sharp pain in my belly. Don't feel bloated but do feel very heavy in general and a tad bit nauseous. Flushing with water and trying to fast longer today to overcome this and hope my nausea goes away. Glad this is the start of a round so I have plenty of time to bounce back
09/15 - Oh so thankful!!! I'm below my ending weight and my lactose bump is gone! I expected it to take 2 days at least so I'm super duper happy my work paid off yesterday. The best part is that yesterday I wasn't that good, just good enough to not feel bad about my day. Goes to show you don't have to be perfect, you just have to be better than before. I might just keep that in mind going forward. The only person I'm competing against is myself and every day I just have to be better than I was the day before.
09/16 - Some more bloat drop. I feel so might lighter and my belly is much flatter today. Its not the most debloated I could get, but the closest I'll get while eating as a family (dinner's veggies were grilled in melted butter- not the healthiest but oh so delicious). I'm willing to make those sacrifices, though, because I know its possible to still feel good without being absolutely perfect and still be able to enjoy a family dinner. Water was good yesterday. Didn't get a walk in with work but aiming for one this morning once it lightens up a bit. So weird to be awake when its so dark now that days are shorter and shorter. Makes getting my walk in harder unless I'm willing to walk in the dark either in the morning or in the evening. Need to stick to my guns about it and get it done
09/17 - I'll take any drop I can get. I'm up earlier than normal by an hour since I have to drive into work today so I'm really surprised at this. No workout unless I can squeeze it in somehow tonight. Not sure how training will be so not sure if I'll hit step goal, especially if its all classroom stuff.

09/14 - 169 Although in the normal range for women, my iron was .1 short of being able to donate blood yesterday. Need to remember to take my vitamins!
09/15 - 169.6 Two days of bad decisions led to numbers going the wrong way. Back to serious nutritional habits today!
09/16 - 168.8 Need to step it up today as there will be little time to walk tomorrow since the nearly 6mo. DGS will be in the house ALL DAY for the first time since his birth. Us GPs are beyond excited!
