Day/Weight/Comment
09/24 168.2lbs. I'm ok with this, I exercised before weighing and had some water too
09/25 167.8lbs. This is a milestone for me as it means I've gone down into to the next stone. I've gone from 12st 11lb to 11st 13.8lb. I know before I joined again I was into the 13st range, previously unknown territory for me and that gave me the serious jolt I needed.
09/26 167.2lbs As much as I'm loving the numbers, I know I'm not eating all my calories as I'm not as hungry as I used to be. I need to watch this.
09/27 167.0lbs Really happy my fat intake was lower than usual yesterday and my protein was higher than usual. However my carbs were high and I didn't want to increase them much more so my overall intake was lower than I would have liked. I'm pre-diabetic and have high cholesterol. I need to get the right balance.
09/28 166.8lbs. Woke up early having gone to bed early last night. My Garmin showed I had 2 hours sleep! That can't be right as I'd usually get up if I'm awake too long. Maybe my light sleep was really light!
09/29 166.4lbs Didn't have much sleep last night. This is really annoying me, and this time my watch was correct. I didn't get up for any reason but was tossing and turning a lot.
09/30 166.0lbs Slept well, Garmin showed I was awake for a total of two hours, but it also said I was asleep 25 minutes before I went to bed! Perhaps it was wishful thinking!
10/01 165.4lbs I've been suffering with double vision for a while and have finally had a diagnosis and given some tablets to help. Unfortunately after 3 days my eyes are much worse. I've been told that in some cases this can happen at the beginning but it's getting to me. I used to have to wear a patch but had not needed to do this for a few months.. Now I'm having to wear one again to be able to see correctly. Feeling miserable.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/24 185.0 I ate horribly yesterday. I'm a little surprised to see any loss at all.
09/25 DNW
09/26 DNW Aunt's Wedding Day!!
09/27 187.8 Okay, I got a little off track lol Back on it today!
09/28 187.0 I liked seeing the loss this morning even if it is small! I thought about changing my goal this round back to my starting weight since I gained at the beginning but I may wait and just see what happens. Happy Monday!
09/29 185.4 If I can stay here, this is my goal for the end of the month, hopefully these losses keep coming!
09/30 183.6 Woosh?! I stepped on the scale 3 times to make sure it was correct
10/01 182.6 Pretty excited about that!

Sept. 2018 - 187
Goal -150 Alcohol only on weekends, exercise daily, plenty of water, no bread.
9/24-162-Walked 6.5 miles. Made turkey meatloaf with mashed cauliflower and gravy. I went out after dinner to finish up my walk and almost stepped on a rather large king snake. Eeek! I was done walking for the evening.
9/25-160-Yay. No walk, took the day off. Light dinner.
9/26-160-Whew! Biked 10 miles then drove round trip 5 hours to a funeral by the sea, husband wanted hamburgers on the way home. Waves wear huge and it was a beautiful day.
9/27-160-Whew, again! Made hummus yesterday.
9/28-162-BBQed ribs, sewed a lot, too hot to walk. Off to quilting class this morning.
9/29-162-Sat in a quilt class all day, then grocery shopped. Still, to hot to exercise, but will start today off with a bike ride!
9/30-160-Biked 9 miles then cleaned.
10/1-161-Walked 5 miles then turned around and went home to finish a quilt I needed to donate today. Glad to be done.6 -

MFP start weight Oct 28.18 - 191
This will be my 33rd round of the 10 day challenge. I started at round 95
Round 95 My 1st Round EW - 158.4
Round 126 My 32nd Round EW 142.9
9/24/20 - 144.0 - This seems high, and I am feeling quite lean, so hopefully it will come back down quickly
9/25/20 - 141.8 - Yesterday's weight alarmed me, glad that it seems like it was a blip.
9/26/20 - 141.6
9/27/20 - 143.6 - Had a great big Rib Eye + Prawns in butter sauce last night. This was my delayed birthday meal that I couldn't have on my trip. Maybe worth the 2 lb weight gain.
9/28/20 - 143.1 - Working to bring the number back down.
9/29/20 - 143.9 - Ow
9/30/20 - 143.0 - Jumping around quite a bit on this round. 3 days to finish it lower than the previous round EW
10/1/20 - 144.5 - I had better get a handle on this weight.

Good morning! It's Thursday! In a mere 3 days I'm getting on a 30 hour train to New Orleans, which has to be the craziest thing I've done possibly ever. But it's such a great opportunity to see if I'd really like living there, or if it's just a fantasy I indulge in whenever I visit. And can I stay on a diet when Commander's Palace does takeout?

Starting weight for this round: 225lb
Goal weight for this round: 223 lb
Food/Activity goals for this week:
Continue 16:8 Intermittent Fasting
Continue to log fasting blood glucose
Complete Week 2 of C25K and start Week 3.
Continue to plug away at my Obé "Harder AF" 28 day challenge.
9/24: 225lbs, FBG 99:

9/29: 222.2 FBG 97.
9/30: 222.2 FBG 97.
10/1: 221.6, FBG 103. I admit, I think this is an artificial low, but I'll take it. I continue to really struggle with exercise. I don't seem to have the energy for a hard day at work AND a hard workout. Giant list of things that could affect me: Fall/darkness/cold, broader mental health, boredom with exercise routine, fasting, how many calories I'm eating, when I'm eating them, too little protein, not enough sleep, Variable X. Today is another day!

Round 126 SW 164.8 EW ????
9/24 164.8 walked 3.04 Third day in a row at the same weight. I moved the scale to make sure it was level and after 3 times the weight was still 164.8. I have to keep watching the sodium and I think I'll be down in a day or two. And calories, obviously but those have been in check all week.
9/25 166.1 hiked 3.25 I can only assume it's the vigorous hike or maybe the sodium was a little high. I didn't think it was but when I looked this morning, those biscuits had 550mg each. Before I had a 2nd one I checked calories and I was fine but did not even LOOK at sodium I mean it's a buttermilk biscuit how much salt does it need.
9/26 166.0 hiked 2.51 Short hike, I had a bunch of stuff to do Friday night and needed to wrap up. So my unexpected gain was due to TOM coming a week and a half early. I'm 51 years old, this TOM can wrap up any time now.
9/27 165.9 hiked 4.11 Nice Saturday morning long hike. I should have gone 5 but I was picking up the baby and didn't have time.
9/28 165.8 walked 3.03 More than half of that was in the rain. A nice weekend. Spent more time with the baby and the BF. He says bring her over anytime. His kids are in their early 20's in college. He's ready for grandkids so I guess I'll share mine She doesn't really have a "grandfather" figure in her life. Both kids have Dads that are either out of the picture or drunk most of the time. He made sure to have toddler friendly snacks (and not just cookies although cookies did play a part). If I didn't already love him, this would push me over the top.
9/29 165.0 No walk A very Monday-y Monday. Didn't have time to walk after work, too many errands to run then the Chiefs were on (we won). It's beautiful today I hope to get in a long walk. At the car dealer now getting my oil changed. Ain't modern technology great. I'm working from the car dealer and updating my status here.
9/30 165.0 walked 3 miles I am at 1017km in my 1020km challenge for 2020. I missed it last year because I didn't take it that seriously and was then I couldn't go walking for almost 6 weeks due to an injury. Taking on this challenge has forced me to walk when maybe it was a little colder than I liked, or hotter, or rainy, or even snowy but I did it and I was fine after. Walking has saved my mental health this year more than anything else. It kept me from gaining a ton of weight during the first weeks of the pandemic when baking was a part of my stress management. I'll finish this challenge tonight. I'll keep walking at a similar pace, I'm curious to know how far it will I will go. On another note, I wanted to hit 164.8 this round, I have three days to drop only .2.... NO SALT!
10/1 165.0 Hiked 2.03 miles I did it! Hiked in a new small metropolitan trail. I wore the wrong shoes and got a late start so I just walked 2. I liked the idea of hitting my year goal by the end of September! I'm proud of myself, I accomplished something that for my old 275 pound, 5 ft 1 self would have thought impossible. I will say 3 days in a row at the same weight is annoying. Meeting a friend for lunch today in an outdoor restaurant. I haven't eaten out in months.

9/24/20 - 182.6 - ~2100!!! - Just. Too. Much. Food.
My creativity group came over for what may be our last in-person meeting before it’s too cold outside, and we made it a meal — teriyaki chicken, rice, salad, and chocolate chip s’mores cookie cake. Yikes! I didn’t eat big amounts, but lots of calories and the chicken was very salty. But it was lovely to be together, so all good, and I’m back on track today.
9/25/20 - 182.6 - ~2000!!! - don’t ask about snacks 😡
I thought I’d be back on track yesterday, but for whatever messed up reason, I ate everything in sight all evening. I think I need to turn off the news! Anyway, I had turkey sausages for breakfast, and we’re getting smoked chicken for dinner to support a fundraiser for a cause we support — going for protein and fat to counter all the carbs I’ve been snarfing the past two days. I do feel puffy, so I know some of this is water, but not all. I’m hoping all the p & f will make be feel more satisfied. Happy Friday, all! Enjoy this final weekend of Sept. 🍁🌻🐝🧶
9/26/20 - 182.8 - 1645 - 4 triscuits
Calories a bit high yesterday, but better, and healthy, even with my little Triscuit snack. Macros about where I want them. Day by day. I did spend an hour cleaning up my side of the garage, organizing my shelves full of garden tools, pots, references, paint and painting tools, and other miscellaneous garage things and tossing stuff I don’t need anymore. Made me feel more in control! I’m sort of working my way through the house — my closet is partly done. It’s supposed to be nice and warm today and tomorrow, so I plan so be outdoors as much as possible, and have friends coming to hang out in the garden both days, before we can’t get together. I have a writing deadline crashing down on me, so that’s first indoors, so I’ll finish closets next week. When I get every little thing organized and decluttered, I know I’ll feel better! Funny how having our surroundings in order can affect our eating, attitude, work, even play. I’m also seriously thing of taking 6 weeks away from social media for sanity and to see how much more I get done without it. I’ll stay here, though. 🙂 Way tmi, right? Have a great weekend, all!
9/27/20 - 181.8 - 1285
This is a nice surprise. We had a pretty caloric dinner last night—baked chicken with broccoli, green pea fusili, and Alfredo sauce. But it was so satisfying, I didn’t snack in the evening — yay! Leftovers tonight, so I’m planning a light lunch. It’s gorgeous out, so I’m off for a walk. Supposed to cool down and rain tomorrow. Enjoy your Sunday!
9/28/20 - 182 - 2045 😳 - 🍨
Ok, it’s Monday, a new week, a new start. Still fighting the snack monster.
9/29/20 - 181.6 - 1545 - 🍌
Better. It rained all day yesterday, but I did get a short walk in the evening. Today is chilly but bright, so I’m off for a walk along the river and then to buy soil for my new raised beds to get them ready for spring. I may even plant some bulbs in them this fall. 🌹🌷🌹🌷 Planning a nice salad for lunch and dunno for dinner. 🤓
9/30/20 - 183 😡 - 2196 😡 - 🍕🍿🧀
Too much salt, too much food. DH wanted pizza yesterday, so I had that for lunch, calories high but within bounds, no dinner. But then, I confess, I went on a comfort binge last night. All salty carby, no sweets, so there’s that. Should have turned the TV off instead. Well, some of this is temporary, so although I’m not pleased, I’m also not too upset. Going for a walk, then hauling dirt to my new beds and finishing (I hope) reorganizing closets. The fun never stops!
10/1/20 - 181.4 🙂 - 1801 - 🍨
I knew a lot of that was salt! I ate well yesterday, but did have a small bowl of ice cream last night. With walking, my calories were still below maintenance, so that’s a plus. I’m trying to get more protein and healthy fat at breakfast, which helps a lot with hunger later in the day. Chilly here, so I’m bundling up to go for a nice walk. Have a great day, all!

Day/Weight/Comment
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. 🙂
9/29: 266.6 ~ Another good day of tracking yesterday. Trying to make that back into a habit.
9/30: DNW ~ I ate a massive burrito last night and just didn’t want to know what the scale had to say this morning 😂. Walked this morning and will stay within my calories today lol.
10/1: 267.8 ~ Highest weight I’ve had in months. I ate well under on calories yesterday, walked almost 11,000 steps and drank a ton of fluid. Maybe I needed a couple high weigh ins to get properly convinced my lazy approach wasn’t working.10 -

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. Short gym session and haircut - first since COVID, over 29 weeks
9/28 115.5 Early morning blood draw. No gym 😢
9/29 117.5. Totally expected. KFC for lunch yesterday. EPL for lunch with the girls today, then I’m fasting for ?? hours.
9/30 116.5 DH made an airport trip for a neighbor so I went to the gym alone. Fast started at 6PM, 9/29 (Tuesday evening)
10/1 115.0 Fast is going well, I did have one cup of homemade chicken broth. Did short workout at the gym yesterday and will again today. As I was catching up on posts today, I had a cup of HM chicken broth with extra pink Himalayan salt to see if that will help my mild headache. Arthritis in my neck means almost daily morning headaches.8 -

Day/Weight/BF%/comment
9/24: 221.8 (+0.4). This is the first slight uptick for me in the past few days, but I'm not going to let it get me down. I'm having lunch at the office today with a couple of coworkers; I have both chosen something relatively healthy, and I am not "breaking my fast" this morning until lunch. My wife made me an extra plate of vegetables last night after I was done eating. If I'm going to go "a little over" in calories for a specific reason, I could have done worse, I guess.
9/25: 221.2 (-0.6). I'm feeling good food-wise right now. Yesterday could have been mess, but I was good; healthy food, good portion. My wife wants to get take-out tonight from a place that we get salads from. I'll get a delicious chicken cobb. Things are working again, for the most part. I still can't wait until I can fully get back into exercise. I'm happy that I've been losing pounds, but I'm really missing the positive effects that exercise has on weight loss and my overall well-being.
9/26: 220.2 (-1.0). My wife and I are arguing. I'm not even sure about what, to be honest. It's not going to be the end of the world, but it feels pretty $#!++y in the moment. That being said, I'm almost out of the 220s, which is REALLY exciting. I'm going to try to keep myself busy today with something other than stuffing my face. Usually, on this kind of day, I would park myself on the couch and watch TV all day. Instead, I'll head over to my sister-in-law's and get the rest of our stuff from there (we stored a bit in her garage before we moved into our house almost 1.5 years ago).
9/27: 222.0 (+1.8). My rough day yesterday ended up okay, but I definitely ate more than I should have. That being said, my weigh-in yesterday was likely artificially low. I'm not going to let either one bother me. I'm seeing my in-laws today for a bit, and I'm sure they'll want food involved. I'm going to be disciplined today. I may even eat before we go over there, and skip whatever it might be that they try to shove down my throat. I still hate seeing a bad weigh-in; I could feel all the icky internal dialogue/emotions as I looked at the scale. But this is the place I need to come right after, no matter what the scale says. I'm in this for the long haul.
9/28: 221.4 (-0.6).
9/29: 221.4 (0.0). I had a weird day eating yesterday. I did not have a bite until about 3pm because I had a dentist appointment at 12. My wife brought home In-N-Out for Linner, including fries (even though I did not ask for them). I snacked later for dinner. Things will get back to normal today, even though tonight is the first Presidential debate. My wife has informed me that she will need to have a few drinks while it's occurring; I will be completely sober (for better or worse). I'm reposting this because I just figured out that my BF% has been calculated incorrectly by my scale for the entire history of my life, apparently. I did some manual BF% checks, and it was WAY off. So I did a little bit of digging in the app attached to my scale, and I fixed it. My BF% is actually MUCH closer to 30% than it is to 20% (which TOTALLY makes sense, given how much work I still have to do). I'll start measuring/including BF% again tomorrow morning. What a horrible little wake-up call.
9/30: 222.8 (+1.4)/29.5.
10/1: 223.4 (+0.6)/29.6 (+0.1). I haven't been great the past three days or so food-wise. Time to get myself back in gear. The debate was stressful, but, to be honest, my issues have been mostly due to indulgence. Yesterday it was ordering in at work (Korean fried chicken... DELICIOUS!!!). Today will be a good food day; I'm going to stay on-plan. I'm going to try to get in some exercise tonight. I have two days to finish off this round in a better place. I'm starting right now.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/24 199 slight increase but not a worry for me. 13746 steps 1435 calories. Even got in some ab work in the evening.
09/25 198.6 12083 steps 2070 which is high for me. Ate two meals out but was still reasonable. Had half a chicken sandwich substitute the fries with broccoli. Subways for lunch, turkey lots of veggies, with guacamole as my sauce. The vodka and coke was the highest caloric part of my day. Still a loss. I’ll take it.
09/26 199 10119 steps 1473 calories. Did the dinosaur drive, Jurassic Quest with my little ones. The liked it.
09/27 200 I could not get that scale to read 199.9 to save my life. Oh well. My sister bought a car yesterday. Her first vehicle. I get my afternoon walking time back. Yeah. 14068 steps 1603 in calories.
09/28 199.1 Better today my goal was to be to 197 (overweight opposed to obese by end of this round) Here I go.
09/29 199.5 yesterday 1341 calories 14964 steps 15 minute early morning zumba 30 minute lunch walk 20 minute evening walk. Want a repeat for lunch.
09/30 199.5 Yesterday 1376 calories 14501 steps same schedule
10/01 197.9 Whoosh! A little apprehensive because I had a Belgium waffle at Ihop for dinner. My son tried to steal it so less calories. That boy never ceases to amaze me. Needless to say I went over a bit. So I expect a bump today. Did anyone read the article about 2-Week Walking Guide to Tone Your Body. It had an intensity level chart that I found interesting about walking that I found really interesting. Since my claim to fame is mostly walking. 14977 steps and 1980 in calories.

Please join us! Starting on 09/24 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 127
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
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 15,111} ~ This morning I had a small slice of espresso zucchini walnut bread for breakfast, I wanted to try it in the morning to make sure it didn’t make me spiral out of control. It worked, woot hoot.....I also decided to do a meditation video yoga video at night...
09/29 165.8 ~ {Steps 17,112} ~ An uneventful day, which lately has not been the case.
09/30 167.1 ~ {Steps 13,573 } ~ High sodium gets me every time unfortunately 😈😈

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 127 (round 59 for me ) I'm in for another round – I need it! As always, thank you @GrandmaJackie such a champion particularly in these unprecedented & unsettled times, helping keep some stability in our lives, for setting up these challenges.
Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
Challenge for this round will be still on our fortnight's holiday, but not flown to a hotel cuz of C19, instead we have taken or caravan away so I am in charge of meal prep. Goal is to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, hubby likes to ply me with blood orange gin & 7UP, which I love, but I'll keep to one per day, keep walking, no binges, keep the 10 days binge free again, it makes such a difference!

Round 125 = 171.6 (1.8 lbs lost)
Round 126 = 171.0 (0.6 lbs lost)
Day/Weight/Comment
09/24 = 171.0 (no change from yesterday) being having an inner ear issues this week so haven't been able to go running, hoping to get a nice run in today. This round ends the day before my 17th wedding anniversary, so would like to reach my 1st major goal of being in the 160s by then.
09/25 = 171.0 (no change from yesterday)
09/26 = 171.0 (no change from yesterday)
09/27 = DNW (slept in too late to weigh)
09/28 = 170.6 (down .4 lbs) I did all my weekend posts on my phone and when I logged in this morning on my laptop could not find any of them, maybe they never posted?? Anyway, I got in my 3 weekly runs on Friday, Saturday, & Sunday - none of them felt "great" but at least I stayed committed to being consistent to my scheduled runs. This week I am going to start to get back into strength training on the days I'm not running. Hopefully it well help make my runs stronger and get this scale moving again in the right direction! Still doing well with IF 16/8 (some days longer) and but need to be better with my AF days, goal is 4 per week but having only been getting 3 AF days the last 2 weeks which I know is affecting the scale.
09/29 = 171.6 (up 1.0 lbs from yesterday) I ate within my calories yesterday but instead of starting my fast at 7 p.m. as I do most nights, I had popcorn watching a show with my husband around 11 p.m. So not surprised to see this bump up on the scale. So today, I will be drinking lots of water and OMAD, fasting until dinner, hoping for close to a 20 hour fast. Will try to get out for a run today but may put it off until tomorrow if I feel too sluggish.
09/30 = 170.6 (down 1.0 lbs from yesterday) I fasted all day yesterday until dinner, but made it an early dinner, so didn't quite make it to 20 but instead 19 hours. Yesterday's run was a little humid but felt good, definitely felt some of my old running strength coming back on the 2nd half of the run. Yay!
10/01 = DNW Busy morning and did not get a chance to weight in, until after my normal time and after having water, so skipped it for today. Ordered take-out last night, so it might be a good thing to miss the scale today as well. Just got in a great mid-day run, nice cooler temps and calories are on track for today. Don't think I will show much of a loss this round but at least my head is in the right place making good choices that will eventually show on the scale.

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!
09/29 - 151.6 - Sooooooo tired today. Little guy must be having another molar come in - he was up crying multiple times last night and had to be rocked back to sleep each time. Of course he’s not acting tired at all today, so it’s chasing after both kids like usual. At least I get all my steps in! We got outside to a park this morning before it started “snowing” ash this afternoon. I made my meal planned lunches today, so I’m set there for the rest of the week.
09/30 - 151.0 - When I stepped on the scale 30 days ago and saw 165, I was done. Done with dedicating my body to my kids like I’d been doing for the last 5 years. Done feeling flabby, out of shape and uncomfortable in my clothes. Done being embarrassed of how I look in pictures. And I was done making excuses and not doing anything about it. So I opened MFP again and started tracking. I started exercising each morning with the Ring Fit Adventure game my husband had gotten on the Switch. And I started extending the evening walk with the dog to be over a mile instead of just around the block.
30 days later - I’m down 12 lbs!!! (Got to take the new scale into account.). My character is level 103 on Ring Fit. My clothes fit better, and I’m down a size in my jeans. I’m managing to make meals that the kids will eat - and have a dessert - AND still stay within my calorie goal each day. And we have a happy doggie who gets a nice long walk before bedtime. 😂
I’m sorry this post is long - and a little self-congratulatory. But I’m amazed at how far I’ve come already, and a little proud of myself for sticking with it. I thought I’d be doing well if I got to 160 by this point - so closing in on 150 seems unreal. We’ll see if I can get any lower by the end of the round, but I’m calling this month a huge win.

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!
09/29 - 151.6 - Sooooooo tired today. Little guy must be having another molar come in - he was up crying multiple times last night and had to be rocked back to sleep each time. Of course he’s not acting tired at all today, so it’s chasing after both kids like usual. At least I get all my steps in! We got outside to a park this morning before it started “snowing” ash this afternoon. I made my meal planned lunches today, so I’m set there for the rest of the week.
09/30 - 151.0 - When I stepped on the scale 30 days ago and saw 165, I was done. Done with dedicating my body to my kids like I’d been doing for the last 5 years. Done feeling flabby, out of shape and uncomfortable in my clothes. Done being embarrassed of how I look in pictures. And I was done making excuses and not doing anything about it. So I opened MFP again and started tracking. I started exercising each morning with the Ring Fit Adventure game my husband had gotten on the Switch. And I started extending the evening walk with the dog to be over a mile instead of just around the block.
30 days later - I’m down 12 lbs!!! (Got to take the new scale into account.). My character is level 103 on Ring Fit. My clothes fit better, and I’m down a size in my jeans. I’m managing to make meals that the kids will eat - and have a dessert - AND still stay within my calorie goal each day. And we have a happy doggie who gets a nice long walk before bedtime. 😂
I’m sorry this post is long - and a little self-congratulatory. But I’m amazed at how far I’ve come already, and a little proud of myself for sticking with it. I thought I’d be doing well if I got to 160 by this point - so closing in on 150 seems unreal. We’ll see if I can get any lower by the end of the round, but I’m calling this month a huge win.
10/01 - 150.8 - Happy October! Thanks for all the likes and well-wishes - finding this group has been so helpful with the encouragement and motivation. 😊. Hoping to keep moving towards 145 and start working on toning and strength too.

Recent Back Story:2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅JGM10D ~|~ Round 127

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.

Hi, I am in need of some help/support. I am struggling to get back into my routine with MFP and JGMTD, the problem I face is having a consistent weigh in time. I currently work nights (5pm to 5 am) Friday Saturday and Sunday. So I usually dont wake up till around noon and I usually dont eat till around 3:30 pm on my working days. On my days off my wake up time varies as I have 3 children (10, 6, & 3 months) so my first "meal" time is also varied. I've weighed myself when I first wake up and then again roughly an hour later with no food or drink consumption and there is a 1-2 pound difference at times. I am not sure if anyone else works these kind of schedule also dealing with young kids. I know I need to do better about eating and working out I am trying to get into a routine. Thanks for any advice you can offer.10

Aim is to lower Blood Glucose (pre-diabetic)
Goal lose 3 lbs
Sept 24: W 216. plan to stick to my eating window(did that!) doing a workout helps, drinking herbal tea instead of numerous cups of coffee. Had a late night snack (not hungry, stress?). Also lots of infused parsley/lemon water.
Sept 25: W 214. repeat yesterday: doing a workout, lots of water, going to work on awareness of stress feelings. No late night snacks!!
Sept 26: W 214. Was tired, went to bed 1 hr earlier than normal. Had a snack (unplanned before bed).
Sept 27: W 214. Realise last night's snack was because I was sore and tired. Still have sore knees and fatigue today, warm epsom salt bath tonight. No workout today. Stuck to my eating window (Yay),see how it goes. Reached my coffee limit at noon, herbal tea is on the menu. Stayed on plan !!
Sept 28: W 215. Oh well, am not giving up. Did my planned workout & stuck to my eating window and food choices, lots of water. Feeling less sore, just some fatigue. No snacking
Sept 29: W 215. No change. Kept to plan, still tired in the pm. Lots of water. Limited coffee to 3. Have to work on caffeine. No snack - very tempted though.
Sept 30: W 214. Kept to plan, able to limit coffee today. Sea salt bath. No w/o - feel much better. Slight headache - sure it's congestion related. No SNACK!! Went to bed 1 hr earlier.

@Anlaing016 , welcome to realising weight can change by the hour!!. Is it possible to maybe weigh when you get home? Weighing every day is not for everyone (I know I prefer to weigh just once every 2 weeks), also your work schedule is influencing your circadian rhythm and hormones, which will influence weight loss. You have already decided to make your health a priority, and so have taken a big first step! Keep going.4

@Anlaing016 I weigh myself as soon as I wake up and go potty/pee. It doesn't matter if the hour is a bit different from the day before. I just want to make sure I haven't eaten or drank anything yet so I'm not weighing food or liquid from inside of me. I have never weighed myself an hour or two later. I just accept my morning weight and note the difference from the morning weight the day before. I hope this helps.

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.
09/29 …..210.0 ….. Must be a normal fluctuation. I had a very good day yesterday with my eating plan.
09/30 …..211.0….. Chinese food yesterday. Leftovers today. I will try to drink extra water and get in more movement but my day holds hours of important business meetings and it has been raining steady since last night. However, I’ll try to stay on top of this.
10/01 …..211.0 ….. I finished the leftovers yesterday that I talked about (Chinese), so I’m not surprised that there was not drop on the scale. I’m only too happy I didn’t gain more or retain more fluid.
10/02 …..xxxxx …..
10/03 …..xxxxx …..
