Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 126
Replies
-
@shunggie I had a similar thing recently where I went out for a hike and discovered that the route was a massive mountain bike hub (I mean, I could see why, but still). The route I was on was clearly the path back up the beginning of the routes, but it was exhausting to constantly have a stream of bikes cycling past and although it was a different, non bike route back, it had sort of ruined the walk somewhat. It was also slightly frustrating as I'd travelled a little bit further than normal for this one.5

Day/Weight/Comment
09/14 - 73.8 - Because of course it jumps up to what it was a week ago. This is why I'm glad I weigh every day, because it would look like I've not lost anything this last week, but I know that this is just a fluctuation up. And I know why too. Yesterday was a maintenance day. I knew it was going to be a maintenance day. I banked calories for it to be a maintenance day. It still feels wrong to allow my numbers go into the red. Ah well. Cider at lunch (first time I've drunk alcohol for ages, damn it was good), went out for lunch (nice burger and chips), lots of cheese for dinner and topped it off with a big chocolate cookie. CI was slightly above CO so not quite a true maintenance day, but considering my deficit for the week, I'm still pretty happy with it all and all. And I didn't eat all of my lunch because it was there. When I was full, I stopped nibbling at the chips and left them.
09/15 - 74.0 - Now you can just stop it. My legs are killing me. Judo yesterday killed me. My legs were still kind of hurting going into the session left over from Saturday, and then what did we do during the circuits? More flipping frog jumps. Aaaaah! It's fine, I don't need to use my legs! And I think I've pulled my hamstring because I am so close to getting left side splits flat to the floor (something I've not been able to do since I was a about 10), so I pushed it a little too much trying to get there, I did make it though, but only for a second, and it hurt so maybe a little bit longer on that one. So yeah, fluid retention is strong today. Hopefully we'll see a drop tomorrow back to something a little more sensible.
09/16 - 74.4 - Why? Seriously though, why?
09/17 - 73.8 - Right, well at least that better. Lets see if this trend continues. Yesterday was hard, I am getting really hungry at the moment (lead up to my period week, I think) and I decided to work from home where all the food was available. But managed to keep it at bay and eat fairly sensible. Dinner was somewhat disappointing as I'd bought some lean cut pork sausages with a lower calorie count. But the amount of calorie difference was no where near enough to make up for the fact that they were just not as nice a normal sausages. And they shrank up quite small, so two wasn't really quite enough, and at that point is the sausage just less calories because there's less of it than other brands. Well whatever, not going to be going for that again.
09/18 - 73.8 - It's frustrating that it's still not going down, but with this week I'm not overly surprised. I have been oh so hungry this week. Yesterday was definitely the peak of my hunger. I just did not feel satisfied with anything yesterday. Normally I save some of my breakfast shake to eat later at about 3pm (when I start feeling a little munchy), but that didn't happen, and I was still hungry afterwards, and I was still hungry after lunch, even though I packed extra fruit because I thought I would be hungry, and I ate more than a few squares of the 'not very nice chocolate' I keep in my desk to stop me going to the shop for a snickers. And it took every ounce of willpower I had not to say "screw it" and order a takeaway for dinner. But order I did not, and I pulled some leftovers out of the freezer and had that instead. I finished the day still a little hungry, but under maintenance. No matter what the scales say, I'd call that a win.
09/19 - 73.4 - Looks like my perseverance finally paid off. I did actually finally log onto my trendweight account for the first time in ages and discovered that my trend weight has still been dropping all this week which is encouraging and does make me feel better about the whole massive weight spike thing. Yesterday was so much better than the days before. The hunger monster had definitely gone back to bed to the extent that dinner didn't really turn out to be anything as neither me nor OH where very hungry so we had half a pizza (only half!!) and a glass of wine. Slightly over, but I normally build up a bit of a buffer on the weekends and this should be an active one so feeling optimistic.

Cranberry, bacon and Brie sounds like an amazing combo! Also, what is a cream tea? Is it what it sounds like... tea with cream rather than with milk or without milk. Excuse my American ignorance please
Sorry for the delay in replying - I've been so busy over the last few days haven't been able to get here!!
A cream tea is a scone served with cream (normally clotted cream, but can be normal double cream), strawberry jam and a cup of tea although I like mine with a coffee! It's an occasional treat!

09/15 204.4. I'm probably a little better hydrated today. But we are ordering Thai tonight so who knows what tomorrow's weigh will bring 🤷♀️🍚🥘🥭🍤🥟🤤📈
09/16 204.6 salty thai food got me indeed but I'm doing lots of water and stairs at work tonight (did a round of 16 stories already, hoping to do it again around 0300.) Any other night shift hobgoblins on here? 😱
09/17 203.4 yusssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssdsssssss 🚀
09/18 203.6 okayyyy. No stairs today besides up and down from my walk-up to take the dog out a few times, but I stayed well under my calories even with a couple of glasses of cava. 🥂
09/19 202.2 oh man. I like that. I'm baking a chai apple pie today (also making some szechuan chicken legs and a carrot-apple-walnut salad with yuzu curry dressing 🔥🔥🔥) but I have my portions all figured out and prelogged, so let's do this! 🏄♂️

Day/Weight/Comment
09/14 170.0lbs Four days at the same weight, I'm hoping for a drop soon. However, I'm weighing in an hour earlier than usual.
09/15 169.8lbs Just done half an hour of exercise. An even earlier weigh in as well, I've been meaning to do this for ages but didn't want to show an increased weight!
09/16 169.6 later weigh in but have not exercised yet so not too worried
09/17 169.8 late weigh in, no exercise yet. Not worried about 0.2lb
09/18 169.8 Now I am worried. It's time I had another drop. I'm in a bad mood today. I had arranged for a pick up of furniture from a house I am emptying. I rang th company this morning and was told that I would get a call 30 mins beforehand. Ten minutes later got a call saying we phoned but you were on the phone and we can't wait any longer!
09/19 169.6 This is after nearly 5000 steps! I do hope I get a proper drop by the end of this round.

9/14: 128.8..binged on Saturday and worked out like crazy yesterday to counter it. So sore today so going to try to get my 10,000 steps in and do a 30 minute body weight workout. I use CocoLime Fitness since I have chronic conditions.
09/15: 129.2...yesterday I put all my calories into the mfp and was trying so hard to stick to them but at the end of the night, I was so hungry and nauseous I ate a bigger later snack. Need to try harder today to stick to what I input in my calorie diary but at least my last snack was healthy plain oatmeal. I didn’t eat any junk yesterday but I still feel I eat too much healthy food I guess.
09/16...129.2 I don’t think I will ever loose these last few pounds again because I eat too much. I exercise every day for 1-2 hours either walking or doing a video but I know I probably eat too many calories. They are all one ingredient and super healthy foods but I hate being hungry after battling multiple eating disorders over the last 20 years. I get a little hungry and I panic and need to eat. It is that time of the month so hopefully that is adding a pound or so.
09/17...128.6 Glad to see it going down instead of up. Have to keep trying.
09/18...128.6 staying the same.
09/19...128.2 finally some change. Need to keep working on how much I eat in a day even though it is all healthy I still overeat it. My exercise is fine but 80% of this diet stuff is what you eat.

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!
09/19 185.8 Yesss, I'll take that! Today is my aunt's bridal shower and tomorrow is my daughter's birthday party. Seeing a decrease will give me the willpower I need not to over-eat this weekend

Happy that the drop from yesterday has held so far. I spent the weekend dealing with some of the responsibilities on my plate, so that has helped my stress levels a bit.
15/9 126.6kg
I have moved to an IF 16:8 model, as I am finding if I have an early breakfast, then I am more hungry throughout the day. Still keeping it low carb as well, which really helps prevent snacking.
16/9 126.7kg
I'm finally settling into some good habits, and maintaining this new lifestyle is becoming easier. My husband is supportive, but still offers me treats that are high carb, which I medically need to control. He will get there at some point, but it is a test of my new habits.

Bounce, bounce, bounce. It will go down again. I just need to be patient. I'm going to try some low carb chocolate for dessert tonight. It will either work, or it won't.
18/9 126.5kg
A late post because I was travelling last night. High carb dinner, but I had planned for it, and it is an infrequent thing.
19/9 126.5kg
Did a bunch of walking with my kids today. It was good, but I am sore tonight. Also tried a high protein/low carb chocolate bar, which wasn't amazing, but was enough to hit my chocolate craving.

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.

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.
09/19 212.6 Thanks for all the hugs. DS is still at home, very grateful for that - will be reassessed on Monday

🎯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.
09/19 225.1 NSV - BMI 39.9 no longer morbidly obese! NSV - Walked 3+ miles at 19 min/mile (down from 22 when I started in Aug)! Biked, hand weights, tracked food, 3 glasses wine with dinner of smoked chicken, sauté brussels sprouts and cheesy cauliflower bake.

Hi. I'm Dawn in SE BC Canada
59 years old for 1 more day
MFP start weight Oct 28.18 - 191
This will be my 32nd round of the 10 day challenge. I started at round 95
Round 1 EW - 158.4
Round 31 EW 142.9
09/14 - 142.7 - A few more days before I go away on holiday - I might be a nerd and take my scale with me.
09/15 - 142.4
09/16 - 142.3 - I do plan to be a bit indulgent over my birthday vacation, but not go crazy. If I do gain a little I will be okay with that. Getting closer to my 50 pound loss now.
09/17 - 141.7 - Good to see this number before heading out on vacay this morning.
09/18 - 142.3 - Happy with this number. Yes, I brought my scale with me
09/19 - 141.6 - Less stress on vacation, more movement.

GW 170 (and take a maintenance break?)
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.
Still having to limit exercise due to plantar's faciiatis
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.
09/19 187.2 this is exciting! I feel a bit dehydrated tho. drinking water, daughter's birthday dinner with family and birthday cake tonight I am going to try to pre
log my food so I can stay in bounds.

Round 126 SW: 177.7 (on 9/13/20)
09/14 – 177.3 – A good start for the round! I got in my 3 goals yesterday – calories, steps and water
09/15 – 177.2 – Just a squeak down, but still in the right direction.
09/16 – 178.4 – I had an incredibly rough day yesterday and got take-out at the end of the day. I’m feeling better and time to get back on track.
09/17 – 178.4 – Still holding onto water from the take-out. I’m back to logging and stepping, but vacation is just around the corner. I won’t be weighing then but trying to we careful with what I eat.
09/18 – 177.6 – I managed to weigh my meals, log everything and get my steps in yesterday.
09/19 – 177.2 – Due to the tropical storm/hurricane, we’ve had to reschedule our vacation. So maybe I can manage to be a hair down by the end of this round.

Hello Again,
I'm Harry, 71 years young and live in NE Texas. I am jumping back in the middle of this round to join you all on the road to better health and feeling.
I was here before and did well but as happens too often I fell away from the diet and got back to old habits. I am back again to get my weight and health back to where it should be. You are only down when you refuse to get back up. I am back up again and looking forward to better and lighter days ahead.
Start Date: 9/12/20
Starting Weight: 288
Goal Weight: 228 (-60 lbs)

09/19 279 - End of my first week and down 9 lbs. Pretty typical for my first week of keto dieting. Already I can feel the knees and hands appreciating the reduced bloating of water retention. If all goes well I am expecting to see an average loss of 2 – 2.5 lbs per week.

09/14 - 128.4 - Did not follow any plans. Fried food for lunch, greasy pizza and wine.
09/15 - 128.4 - Yesterday was a family celebration. took day off and enjoyed freely with food and drinks. Starting fresh from today.
09/16 - 127.6 - 11K steps, 6 cups of water, healthy balanced meals. CI ~ CO. Did slip with piece of cake for dessert and more chips and dip for snack. Will incorporate more smaller meals today to see if it helps.
09/17 - 126 (?) - 10K+ steps, 8 cups of water, healthy balanced meals. CI < CO. Smaller meals definitely helped. Also rice instead of wheat was lighter. Not sure if I trust the number on the scale though.
09/18 - 127.6 - 10K stros, 8 cups of water, CI < CO. Good day.
09/19 - 126 - 5 K steps, 5 cups of water, CI ~ CO. Slipped at end of the day. Very busy and long day at the work limited movement. Need to be careful and plan

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.

*********
9/14 116.0 Life is good. It has occurred to me that yesterday’s lower weight was probably brought to me by sleeping until 10 rather than 6 or 6:30.
9/15 116.0
9/16 116.0
9/17 116.0 Had Great Greek salad yesterday with steak, side of melitzanosalada and a whole pita. I have added longer periods of fasting so had about 17 hours yesterday band will have at least 19 today.
9/18 117.0 Well, that’s the carb bounce from 2 days ago and there may be more tomorrow. I fasted 22 hours, from 4PM 9/16 to 2PM 9/17 and had a 2.5 hour eating window before starting my IF period.
9/19 118.0 Went to PF yesterday for the first time since before COVID. Trying to do things that are similar to what I do at physical therapy so I have a routine when those sessions are over. My thighs really feel the pain today! No TMI x 2 days. And I haven’t made BPC in almost a week!5 -

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?
9/19 - 182 - 1546 - no snacks, but late dinner because other meals were late.
Delayed reaction from Thursday, I’m sure. Beautiful weather here — sunny and 60s. I’m going to relocate some plants, the go for a long walk along the river.

Day/Weight/Comment
Round GW - 156
09/14 - 158 - Another day stuck inside because of terrible air quality. I’m exercising each morning using Ring Fit Adventure on the Nintendo Switch, though I wasn’t quite feeling it this morning. Meal prepped lunch and breakfast for the week yesterday, and dinners are all planned, so I just need to stay the course on snacks!
09/15 - 157.5 - I’m debating getting a new scale - ours is old and only can do half pound increments. Afraid it might make me a little too obsessed with the number fluctuations though. Got a good workout in this morning, and hopefully will be able to take the kids out on a walk today.
09/16 - 157 - Got out for a 2.5 mile stroller run/walk this morning. Need to get more sleep at night - I know that can be a factor in weight loss and my little guy wakes up at 5 AM.
09/17 - 157.5 - Was hungrier than usual after dinner last night, but stuck to my usual greek yogurt bar for a snack and was well under my calorie allocation - proud of myself for that, even if the scale went up a little! Hopefully will make it over to Target pick-up to get the new scale today. My daughter insisted on waking up and watching me exercise with Ring Fit Adventure this morning; nice for motivation but it does mean everything takes longer since I need to read her the dialogue.
09/18 - 155.4 - New scale! And certainly an interesting result - I tried the two side by side and while the old scale showed 157.5 again, the new one was 155.4. While the new scale is more precise, I don’t have any basis to believe that it’s more accurate than the old one (as much as I prefer the new number!) Just goes to emphasize that it’s not necessarily about the number itself; it’s the change over time and the impact on how I feel and look that matters.
09/19 - 154.6 - Yesterday was a HARD day. I’d been struggling all day with snacking - it’s so easy to “just have a bite or two” of whatever I’m feeding the kids. Then I was really affected by the death of Justice Ginsburg and wanted so badly to eat tons of junk food to feel better. BUT, I didn’t, and while I was a little higher than usual (1,700 instead of the 1,500 I aim for) I was still in the black for the day. Today, I’ve got a socially distanced picnic for a friend’s birthday - really want to stay within my calorie goals especially since I’m still seeing progress.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/13 …..212.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
09/14 …..211.6 ….. Better. I wasn’t perfect yesterday but my carbs were on the lower side and it paid off. Good luck everyone this round!
09/15 …..211.6 ….. I traveled today. I wonder what tomorrow may bring……
09/16 …..211.3 ….. Wonderful news after travel! When I am super low carb, even a small regular meal can put 3-5 pounds on me after travel so I was quite shocked to see a loss. Its very nice, but I know that “regular meals” do not help my diabetes. Only the lower carb ones so I’ve got to eventually go back to finding a balance. I will have to back out slowly (while backing back IN to low carb) to try to avoid those huge sugar drops. I’m formulating my plan. Horrid night last night. I didn’t get to sleep until after 8:00 this morning. My personal and business stresses and situations really got to me last night but I avoided overdoing the bad snacks so I am proud of myself!
09/17 …..210.8 ….. Yay! I didn’t drink enough water yesterday but peed a lot. Goodbye bloat!
09/18 …..210.6 ….. Yay. Two pounds down since the start of the challenge! Hopefully, I can keep on the right side of the tracks.
09/19 …..211.2 ….. Humph…..Sodium.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/14 141.0 I decided to incorporate my spoiler showing my round history. I finally feel like I've gained momentum in this process. Focusing on *maintenance*, not just the weight loss this time around. But my mini goal is to track my daily goals so I can hopefully get into the 130s again by hitting 139 this round.
09/15 141.8 Slightly up, but only slightly. Hit my goals yesterday and on track for the same today.
09/16 141.2 Hit my goals yesterday. Feeling very sore today and my back is killing me, so I'm going to be doing an arm workout for my 10 minutes today. I skipped dessert because I didn't feel like it, and I have to admit, I was hoping for a lower number today. But it's too early to call this a plateau. This is just the normal slowness of the process. More than anything, I'm waiting for that day when I *feel* lighter. I still feel ick.
09/17 142.2 I know I'm not truly up a pound, but I am still ready to see a lower number. I didn't hit my exercise goal yesterday, but I only had 1132 calories, so I'm not overeating by any means. Just have to keep plugging along.
09/18 140.2 Met all three goals yesterday. Anyone else give yourself a little pep talk right before you hop on the scale? ("If it's higher than yesterday, that's okay, it's just a fluctuation. If it's lower, awesome, but even if it's the same, remember, you're doing great!"). I couldn't weigh daily if I didn't psych myself up for it every time because the ups and downs- especially when you're doing everything 'right'- can be so demoralizing otherwise. Needless to say, though, I was happy to see this number going into the weekend. Let's stay focused on our goals over the next two days, everyone! No sad Monday weigh-ins.
09/19 142.2 No exercise yesterday, hit the other two goals. Good thing I do those pre-weigh in pep talks! The weird thing is that today is the first day I actually woke up *feeling* thinner. Starting to feel a little less fat in the hips, and a little less in the stomach when I sit up straight, too. So I'm happy! A scale fluctuation is just that. I AM SEEING PROGRESS! Today marks one month since I restarted this challenge, and even with today's bounce upward, I've lost a solid 5 lbs!

Day/Weight/Comment
09/14 202.1 I didn’t realize that losing the time for my evening walk would be such a large loss to my weight loss goals but it is. That’s the time can push myself to peak and it’s gone. I barely got to peak this week without it. No excuses. Eating healthy but finding time to workout is a struggle. I got 8 minutes in early this morning of aerobics.
09/15 201.1 Yesterday 11331 steps calories 1413 calories lunch walk and nothing else.
09/16 200.0 Yesterday 15604 steps 1249 calories 8 minute am aerobics, lunch walk, 10 minute evening walk. So close! so close! So close!
09/17 198.7 mike drop! Now to keep the trend going…I went out to eat last night, and ate 50% of my plate. Clam strip and fries. Not to many I filled up easily.
09/18 199.5 still holding on 15058 stepszyesterday and 1340 in calories. Have you ever noticed that stress makes you heart race and burn more calories. I do not recommend it though. 8 minute morning workout and half hour for lunch.
09/19 199.8 stayed under 200 but creeping upwards. I am seeing a significant difference in my body but it come with some flabbiness. I need a routine for strength training. With two 3 year old time management is difficult.

Day/Weight/Comment
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.

I'm in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!
70 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
We used to walk 5 miles a day. Recovered from back surgery then hip surgery!! Got back to walking then I sprained my ankle. UGH! I was down for 6 weeks with the ankle...sigh...now the smoke from the fires is keeping us inside.
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.
