Day, Weight, Comment
9/24/20 - 187.8 to start this round, inching downward. I had a very hungry day yesterday too which made me think about the long term plan. I hope my body can adjust to eating less overall calories in the long run bc I don't want to end right back where I started. I am going to work on eating some volume veggies in the meantime. Estimated total calories 1351.
9/25/20 - 187.4 I should be more excited about it but.. total estimated cals yesterday 1292 so not bad. Need more water today.
9/26/20 - 187.6 hmmm. In good news, got an hour walk in this morning while my youngest was at volleyball practice. Since it was Friday yesterday I celebrated with some wine and chocolate last night. Total calories 1601, higher than my goal , but lower than maintenance calories so I'm ok with that.
9/27/20 - 186.4 super excited about this number. hope it sticks! I'm getting very close to my goal for this round! total estimated calories for yesterday 1298. I did have a glass of wine while playing a board game with my family but plan on limiting for the rest of this week until my girl's night in. For health reasons it is recommended that I avoid alcohol (reduces chance of cancer recurrence) but sometimes it comes down to a quality of life issue. I don't want to live the rest of my life without being able to enjoy something nice once in a while. Same thing with dieting I guess. Have a little piece of cake and move on with your life.. it's what you do most of the time that counts.
9/28/20 - 186.6 not bad considering I had rice with lunch yesterday, I don't eat a ton of carbs so usually when I do it is reflected on the scale. Total estimated calories yesterday: 1349 I'm so close to getting into the "overweight" category, I hope I can make it by the end of this round.

9/24: DNW ~ Just didn’t have a chance to weigh in. Busy day. But ate reasonably and hit my steps, so counting those as wins!
9/25: 266.4 ~ Planning to make actual progress in this round! Last round was more maintaining than losing.
9/26: DNW
9/27: 266.0 ~ I haven’t been logging calories lately. But I logged everything yesterday, and it felt like a step in the right direction again, after weeks of a diet break.
9/28: 267.0 ~ I didn’t drink enough water yesterday. Caught up with me! But I’ve already accomplished today’s workout and today is going to be better. 🙂9 -

Day/Weight/Comment
09/23 …..212.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
09/24 …..210.8 ….. Quite a long travel yesterday but my time was so limited, I missed a meal or two. Even with the restaurant stop it turned out a loss on the scale!
09/25 …..211.6 ….. I’m honestly not sure why this is up. I had two healthy meals yesterday (not large) and one Atkins bar for a snack. However, I did have a lot fewer steps and plenty of sitting in meetings yesterday. Today I will try to move more and focus on hydration.
09/26 …..211.4 ….. Too many bad snacks yesterday and last night but more movement & water so it helped.
09/27 …..211.2 ….. I don’t know why I started buying such junk food snacks. As a diabetic, I don’t need them and neither does my son. I vow to stop it starting now! Back to my healthier snacks and meals that I actually miss! I am lucky that my weight has crept down a bit again today. Honestly a lack of good meals and small junk sessions led to less eating overall yesterday and it is not a good way to get where I need to go. Healthy today!
09/28 …..209.8 ….. My snacks were still kinda bad, but my meals were thoughtful and satisfying. A touch more movement helped too and there is always the benefit of TMI when a day has been skipped. Let’s hope this trend continues downward.

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 127
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
09/24: 208.2 / Starting this round in one of my prototypical valleys. Maybe I can try to get a little lower. I would love to touch my maintenance range a time or two this round. 😊 Having lunch with a couple friends, outdoors today. Going to be a nice one weather-wise. I will try to choose a salad instead of the awesome burgers they have at this place.
09/25: 209 / Yesterday I chose half sandwich and salad for lunch. It was a fancy BLT. Delicious. For supper DW had planned BLT’s. Yay! No evening snacks.
09/26: 207.8
09/27: 211
09/28: 211 / I was not near a computer over the weekend so I am post three days today. Saturday was a feast at a friend’s house. Fried Fish, baked beans (special kind with smoked sausage and apple pie filling in it) , corn bread and dessert.
Yesterday I went crappie fishing with DW and we fried up our catch for supper! Two nights in a row with fried fish. Gave some to DS’s family and to our neighbor, and, leftovers tonight.
I ate a lot, but it is also VERY salty. Blew up my average for this round. 😊

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

Day/Weight/Comment
***09/23 168.5 ~ {Steps 15,404} ~ Today, I hit all my goals with my meals and my workouts! I decided instead of letting my husband mood bring me down too, yes I decided to hit the gym,***
09/24 167.1 ~ {Steps 5,467} ~ Today was another tough day, my morning workout didn’t happen. Throughout the day I didn’t let emotions let my food choices get the best of me. We did get to relax with some friends, which we come home with an espresso zucchini chocolate cake. My plan is to pre slice the cake for portion control. Tonight I was successful of not eating a late night snack. Hopefully the scale will be nice tomorrow.
09/25 165.8 ~ {Steps 11,288) ~ My husband was up with our pug, Pete the Pug at 3:30 am. It’s been a long three days, Pete doesn’t act sick and still eats but his 💩 isn’t normal? Plus he’s almost two and until recently he’s never had accidents, 😭😭. I’ll be back to post to reflect my day....
My sodium was extremely high, 😈😈 but I didn’t snack after dinner. I did eat later then normal so we’ll see how this reflects the scale. Spending the day tomorrow with my grandkids....
09/26 166.7 ~ {Steps 7,312} ~ I figured the sodium would be a factor for some weight gain, no worries. It will be gone soon, bring on lots of water. Today I spent the morning with my grandkids so not much exercising in but tomorrow my pan is an early walk.
09/27 166.1 ~ {Steps 15,085} ~ Tough day but I managed to stay strong after dinner doing a yoga session instead of turning to food, yay for me!
09/28 165.8 ~ {Steps TBD} ~

9/24/20 - 165.8 I'm ok with this
9/25/20 - 165.2 leaving now for the weekend. Have a good one!
9/26/20 - camping
9/27/20 - camping
9/28/20 - 169.2 well that sucks. I did really well all weekend food and exercise wise. I actually may have overdone the exercise. I can barely move today and got a little to much sun. My water intake was less than desirable all weekend to. Hopefully I will be back down in a couple of days. I can feel I am swollen and puffy today both because of soreness and the sunburn so it should be. It was an amazing last summer weekend camping trip though, so well worth it in the end.

@prehistoricmoongoddess I have a Garmin Vivofit 3 and the sleep time is seldom accurate.😢 I look at the clock when I lie down and when I wake up and edit the time it has tracked. The other night I went to bed early, around 10:15-10:30 but it said I went to sleep at 2:30! Yeah, not sure how it figures that but maybe my hand dances after my body dozes! LOL4

Well, turns out this morning my mild rib discomfort (I thought from sleeping funny) turned into sharp pain when I lifted the coffee pot to fill the machine with water. Its very uncomfortable to move and can't even lift my coffee cup to my face without pain. Deep breaths are out of the question. No walks until I'm feeling 100% again, especially with the pup ):
On a happier note, this gives me extra time to sit and read/research. BF just asked me if I'd like some lunch he's making and I was able to say no without a second thought. 18hrs into my fast and I'm still feeling satisfied. I wonder if my weight today was my body adjusting to a longer fasting period. I've done 16-17hr fasts before but yesterday was close to 20hrs. Today I will attempt 20-21hrs again so my body can get used to it and settle into a routine.
Anyone who has done OMAD have any info they'd be willing to share? As far as how long it took to adjust to the lifestyle, how to go about social gatherings with food involved, etc. Or if anyone has done the 5-2 fasting method (fast for 24hrs 2 nonconsecutive days a week) and how that went? I'm still very early on in my reading and for the longest time its seemed daunting. Now that I've read a bit, I'm inspired to try it.7 -
@jaccimc63 I’ve had that feeling I was getting a UTI and if I start drinking cranberry juice, it seems to take care of it. It needs to be 100% juice not “drink.” Hope this helps.3

Round 127
Age: 39
Height: 5’ 4”
SW: 163
CW: 153.2
GW: 145
UGW: 130
GW for this round: 150
Round 126 (1): 156 to 153.2 (-2.8 lbs)
09/24 - 152.4(!) - And that’s 10 lbs! What a great way to start a new round. 😊. I know I still have a long way to go, and that many of the changes I’m making are permanent, but seeing progress is really uplifting. I got in a good workout this morning and I’m motivated to come up with a good meal plan for this weekend and next week.
09/25 - 152.2 - Had takeout pizza last night, so happy it didn’t hit me too hard on the scale today (stayed within my calories, but sodium!) Rough night with the little guy; he woke a few times so I only got very broken sleep. Still got up at 6 this morning and got a run in with him before the rest of the family woke up. I enjoy morning runs with him, but it’s much more of a hassle than working out on the Switch! Got to get snacks, water, toys - get him dressed and his jacket on - get him all strapped in....definitely can’t just head out the door. But it’s going to be getting cold and rainy here soon, so I feel like I should be getting out while we can.
09/26 - 152.4 - I’m okay with that - had pizza again last night, as well as a slice of the lemon bread I’d made. Put me at 1,800 calories for the day which is about 200 calories more than usual. Woke up feeling tired and bloated this morning too - exercise helped. I meal planned for the week (chili, stuffed sweet potatoes, chicken and veggie casserole!) and went out and did some weeding while the kids played. Now have to get the energy to get the groceries and figure out what to do with all the lemons I picked from our tree yesterday - 4 dozen! Even after zesting and juicing a bunch, making lemonade for the kids, making lemon bread and giving a dozen to a friend, I still have about 15. 😂
09/27 - 153.4 - Well, that’s not the way I want it to go! 😂 Feels like TOM might be starting soon, so that could be part of it. Will just keep trusting the process. I spent an hour and a half doing heavy gardening yesterday: breaking up ground and mixing compost into it. I hope that will make up for me skipping my workout this morning to plant the fall garden.
09/28 - 151.6 - That’s much better! Feeling sore this morning, but we got the garden planted yesterday - broccoli, 2 types of cauliflower, kale, spinach, lettuce, brussel sprouts, carrots and onions! Hopefully some of them will grow. 😊 Continuing to stay around 1,500-1,600 calories a day, which is the baseline that MFP gives me; I don’t trust the calculations of exercise calories enough to eat any of them back. Closing in on 30 days of exercising and weight loss!

@CamandJarvis For me, 5:2 fasting was really difficult on all levels.
1. I like having day to day consistency. I do somewhere between 16:8 and 18:6 fasting every day, and I find it very easy. I skip breakfast and have a cup of tea, no problem. I never seemed to adjust to the 24 hours of minimum calories.
2. I didn't have much energy to exercise AND I couldn't have protein after exercise, which seemed bad for me.
3. I couldn't eat dinner with my partner, which is an activity that's important to me. I also didn't like the limitation on my social life.
In the long term it seemed really unsustainable for me, but I totally think it works if you can handle it.7 -

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.

9/24 117.0 *16 hour fast broken at 11:30AM Had a lovely evening with friends yesterday. I made Mexican pork chops with rice and made myself Mexican cauliflower rice. I did eat a little real rice and a partial serving of ice cream (def not keto) making it another higher carb day. It’s all about learning what I can enjoy ON OCCASION and still maintain below my goal. Additionally, I’m working out at the gym an PT so hope I’m getting some muscle back. *15.5 hour fast done.
9/25 116.5
9/26 117.0 Talked to PT guy yesterday and since I’m back to the gym, seeking the machines that duplicate what I’m doing at PT, I’m going to go it alone. If I need to, I can get a referral back to PT. There are a few exercises that I will to continue at home, too. I feel so much better than I have for almost 2 years!
9/27 116.0 I only ate one meal yesterday and didn’t snack. I just wasn’t hungry.
9/28 115.5 Early morning blood draw. No gym 😢8 -
@CamandJarvis I’ve been doing OMAD and maybe 1 snack for ages. My DH eats more snacks. I didn’t make an over 24 hour fast until a couple of weeks ago - I think I lasted 36 or 38. My stomach growled once right before the 24 hour mark. I ignored it and was fine. I’m planning to eat lunch with friends tomorrow and then fasting until sometime Thursday. Fingers crossed.4

Round 127
Excited for My Round 5! I can't believe it's been over a month! Let's go!
Jillian Age 34 and 5'1"
HSW: 179.8
CSW: 164.4
GW: 130
UGW: 116
Mini GW: 158 will get me out of the obesity category and into the overweight category according to the BMI.
RGW: 162 and Exercise More
Round 123 (1): 179.8 to 176.4 (-3.4)
Round 124 (2): 176.4 to 170 (-6.4)
Round 125 (3): 170.0 to 169.2 (-0.8)
Round 126 (3): 167.8 to 164.4 (-3.4)
🏃 09/24: 164.4 I'm holding steady, which is fine since I lost so much in the last half of the previous round. The poke last night was delicious.
🏃 09/25: 165.2 I ate under my calorie goal, so this must be water weight from not drinking enough water ---- or something. I don't know. I'm going to play my Switch fitness games today. I heard a new Boxing game is coming soon in December, so I already know one of my birthday presents.
🏃 09/26: 163.4 That's more like it. I played my Ring Fit Adventure game and the plank reps were killer.
🏃 09/27: 164.0 I'm not concerned about this, especially because Mark wanted fried chicken last night. I had some too, and knew the consequences.
🏃 09/28: 162.6 Hooray! I had salad for lunch and then ate pizza for dinner, but it was from a local restaurant. I think they use fresh ingredients because I don't feel gross after like when I have Pizza Hut. It was apparently exactly what I needed to turn back in the right direction. This is in addition to gains (losses gained?) from my Ring Fitness workout the other day.
Side Note: I'm back to the weight I was right before I was pregnant with my baby girl, who is 1.5 now. It was tough being pregnant at this weight because it meant I couldn't gain too much weight like I did with my son. I did well, however. I only gained 20 lbs and the baby was born at a perfectly normal weight around seven pounds. After having Baby A, that 20 lbs came off in 3 weeks, but for some reason, I piled it back on like nothing. There it remained until 5 weeks ago when I decided things needed to change and joined this challenge and started logging my meals. I only have to lose 5 more pounds to get down to 158, which will take me out of obesity and into just being overweight!

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.

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. Getting back to it slowly.
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

09/24 140.4 Well, I'm still hoping to break into the 130s. Should be able to do it this round. Hit 3/3 goals yesterday.
09/25 140.8 Is it a plateau yet? Hmmmm...if I stay in this 140 zone all round, I'd say so. No exercise yesterday.
09/26 140.6 No exercise yesterday. It may be time to tweak some things. It seems I've been on a "maintenance break" without even knowing it lol!
09/27 141.6 No exercise yesterday
09/28 142.6 Disappointed to see this. Oh, well, let's see what tomorrow brings!
