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.
When you get up from your “night’s” sleep, even if it’s noon, go to the bathroom and then weigh. Granted, I have done that and gone back to bed and dozed and reweighed when I got up the second time and weighed less but that hasn’t happened more than twice that I can remember. Go with your first “morning”weight.3 -

We all have off days, you have this, “ I'm starting right now.”. I love your attitude 👍👍
Thank you @GrandmaJackie !!! The longer I've been in this group, the more I realize how important "I'm starting right now" can be. I can never change what happened a few minutes ago, but I absolutely have SOME control over what I choose to do next. Thank you for the reminder, even if it was something I said... yesterday.
This is exactly what I needed right now.6 -

@Anlaing016
This. It's the easiest thing to do, mostly because the plan is to do the same thing every day (rather than using different strategies for different days). Most of all, over time, it will all even out. Even if your weigh-ins are "off" a little bit a few times each week, but consistent over time (from week to week), you'll still get REALLY GOOD trend data as you look at the big picture.5 -
@SModa61 After years of weighing each day, I realized that it can take 2-3 days for my food choices to be reflected on the scale.4

Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home
You are SAFE at home
One word can change your attitude
One cough can change your life
Take care! Stay safe!
September focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2020 Focus:Never give up! Never give in!- Stabilise weight around 145
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy
Recent Back Story:2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅JGM10D ~|~ Round 127
2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Working on it. Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
That's a WIN in my book!
2020
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

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 also weigh in every morning when I wake, but after I pee/poo. The actual time doesn’t matter as it will even itself out over the 10 days. I use a mean weight for the Round. I also use the Happy Scale app which tracks you weight trends. So long as the trend is downward, you’re doing fine.
Work out a reasonable weight loss for the Round, and don’t stress too much about the inevitable normal weigh Dailey fluctuations.

Round 127
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.
SW: 168.5 {9/23}

- actually participate****
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 😈😈
10/01 165.7 ~ {Steps 13,970} ~ I wasn’t able to hit the gym last night and I’ve been trying to eat dinner earlier. That didn’t happen unfortunately.
10/02 166.8 ~ {Steps TBD} ~ Even after yesterday was successful, I understand the weight gain, high sodium a couple nights ago plus a late dinner. I’ll check in later..

*******
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.
10/2 115.5 Ended my fast yesterday after 42:20. I broke it with 1 egg and less than an ounce of bacon and later had coffee with HWC while chicken was baking. Cauliflower and small chicken breast for dinner and I felt stuffed. I need to learn how to refeed after the fast. I’m confident that I could have gone to 48 hours and will do that the next time. I had a doctor appointment today. I weighed on my scale after dressed and was 117.0, on his scale I was 116.0!5 -
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!
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.
10/02 - 150.4 - Air is terrible again, so it’s another day stuck inside. I downloaded Pokémon Go again (haven’t touched it for years) to give me another motivation to extend my walks in the evening. Feeling very hungry today for some reason - will need to focus on eating nutritious food and not snack randomly.

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.

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 apparantly exactly what I needed.
🏃 09/29: 162.6
🏃 09/30: 162.0
🏃 10/01: 162
🏃 10/02: 161.8 I've only been food tracking and staying within my calorie goal. That is still working OK for maintenance at 162, but it's about time to play Switch games so I can work toward another drop soon.

09/24- 96.1 woosh but didn't sleep well today so hard to resist any high fat food. Will avoid the scale till saturday at least.
09/25- Ok yesterday was snacking (nothing major, proably maintenance), but tonight there are some plans for dinner that I can't really control so I can't compensate even though I am not too hungry today. Will take it and continue on
09/26- 96.0 Yesterday kept it reasonable though I am not sure how much I succeded. The scale showed potentially good despite, but that just means tomorrow I will get the bloating. So let see if I can sustain not weighing till Tue! Dinner was semi clean but we were having a bbq with friends and some icecream might have found it's way to my dinner plate.
09/27- weekend! 10k hike and low cal clean eating should compensate for the last few days
09/28- Not much walk. Not much food.
09/29- 95.7Weigh day!✓ stress at work leads to snacking but healthy ones (for now...)
09/30 - 96.0 Had to see if this drop sticks. And the answer is no - I am going ups and downs. Wander what the correct number is or do I need to re-adjust my food. Anyway quit happy. Would be good t end this round with a 95.X, whatever that X is
10/01- Yesterday was a break down day. A month that I managed to control my cravings, but felt them creeping more an more every day. Yesterday I couldn't stop with so much junk in the evening! I feel awful. Not because I can't continue but physically nauseous from overeating the food that I used to consume so easily. I really hope I can get the mental powers to not crave, this was quit a relief not to have these urges in the evenings just from eating cleaner and more volume oriented. Today is a new day
10/02- Felt so tired today had to just eat something. And by something I don't mean snacking but actual food. Do you get yhes days? That you are not hungry you are just weak.
10/03- 96.1 Weigh day! Not surprising given yesterday's carbs intake. Will take it over feeling bad. This concludes the round! Didn't achieve the 95.x but I stayed here for the entire time!

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!

Day/Weight/Comment
09/24 133.6 - good start to the round, but probably won't stick!! 9.74 miles walked yesterday, 256 calories in credit, sodium 138 over, (ham & salmon were the culprits!) so may be up due to this tomorrow.
09/25 133.6 - great, held on to it! 12.44 miles walked yesterday. 898 calories in credit & all macros in green.
09/26 134 - 8.44 gentle miles walked yesterday. 396 calories & all macros in credit.
09/27 133.4 - 12.44 miles walked yesterday, 574 calories in credit, all macros in green.
09/28 133.8 - 9.71 miles walked yesterday, 58 calories & 14 carbs over.
09/29 134,2 - 10.2 miles walked yesterday. 720 calories in credit and all macros in green.
09/30 134.2 - 8.8 miles walked yesterday, 446 calories in credit, all macros in green.
10/01 133.8 - no mileage yesterday due to traveling from holiday down south to be closer to our family for the last few days to catch up with them before we return home and rain, hence 436 calories, 70 carbs & 7 fat over.
10/02 133.8 - again no structured walking, chased 2 year old toddler around for the day in a country park local to him. Food over, niceties for him !!
10/03 133.8 - 7.89 miles walked yesterday. 33 calories, 4g carbs & 1028 mg sodium over!!! Might be up tomorrow. Today we travel back home as our 2 week holiday is over, feeling quite smug with myself as usually when we are away I put on 4 or so pounds, but obviously not been able to fly away into the sun and being in charge of my own meal prep. has been better for meal control, So I've actually lost 1.2 pounds from end of last round 👏😁🥳. I should remember I am in charge of own destiny!!! Looking forward to the next round!
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE. Keep calm – we're all in this together!

SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110
Previous rounds: 125.2 -> 122.8 -> 121.6 -> 121.2 -> 119.8-> 119.4 -> 117.8 ->116.6 -> 117.2 ->117.2->114.8 ->116.8 -> 116.4 -> 114.0 -> 115 -> 115.4
Goal weight for this round: I really want to see 113 this round but I’m not sure it will happen because of where I’m at in my cycle. Getting back to 114 would be nice though. Darn vacation weekend away last round.
Another goal: Embrace the scale fluctuations and not get flustered.
Previous days
09/24 115.4 We did a nice soccer workout this morning and my body also felt good from my run/walk workout yesterday. My food was pretty on point yesterday and I have good feelings for today as well. I think breakfast will be yogurt, a white peach, and granola on top. I’m not completely sure of what the rest of the day will bring. We finally got a diagnosis yesterday for my mother in law after almost 6 months of various procedures and such. The outlook is good even with it being cancer. The process will suck but there is hope for a good outcome 😊. So, we are all just feeling a little relieved right now but still processing it all. Any ways, I’m just feeling grateful for my own health right now and the fact I get to live with my in-laws and help any way possible. I’m thinking with the added stress, I’m going to focus on trying to lose but be happy if I maintain. The added stress of not losing won’t help me in any way, so if I don’t worry about it…it’s all good. Have a good day and give an extra hug to those you can!
09/25 115.0 We went for a nice walk this morning. I have a training for work and then I’m done at 12 today. Then, I’m going apple picking with my inlaws and hoping it’s quiet there. I’m excited to make a healthy apple crisp tomorrow with our apples! Have a good weekend!
09/26 115.0 Apple picking was great yesterday. The orchard was nice and quiet and we were there for about an hour. My food yesterday was on point within my log and I had enough calories in the bank for a cider donut as a snack and apple crisp for dessert. When I made the apple crisp, I weighed everything out to create a recipe in MFP. After creating a recipe, I created a food in MFP so I can just weigh my portions and enter how many grams it is resulting in a more accurate entry.
Instead of using flour in crumbly topping I used oats and oat fiber, which added a nice dose of fiber in addition to the apples. I didn’t skimp on butter but I only had to use about 4 tbs worth. I left the apple skins on as well because I didn’t feel like peeling them. It wasn’t the most decadent apple crisp around but it sure was tasty! For 277 grams it clocked in at 324calories, 10.4 g fat, 63 carbs, 14.7 g fiber, and 2.4 g protein.
For today, I plan on riding the spin bike, organizing my clothes, cleaning up my work space/office, and doing a few other things around the house. Have a happy Saturday everyone!
09/27 116.6 Salt plus edging into heaviest part of my cycle. That’s life I suppose. I know it’s not real weight because after my workout yesterday I was 113.8 lbs “dry”. We got takeout for lunch yesterday the components were healthy except for the salt. It was a bi bim bab bowl which had brown rice, carrots, shitake mushrooms, water spinach, daikon radish I think?, a bit of marinated beef, an egg and another vegetable I can’t remember. The dish was delicious but high in salt. I also has some Tom Yum soup on the side. Then for dinner I made homemade macaroni and cheese. So it was just a salty day but on the bright side my calories were in check.
We went for a nice walk this morning and then I jumped in our portable sauna contraption to help rid some of that salt and water weight! This morning’s breakfast was yogurt with fruit and some apple crisp from Friday. My snack will be more fruit that needs to be used from our CSA last week but I think I’ll put some on top of cottage cheese so I have some protein with my snack. I’m roasting a chicken with veggies for dinner tonight. So hopefully I’ll be back down tomorrow 😊.
09/28 115.8 Back down it goes. I did a killer workout this morning consisting of run a mile walk a mile and the last mile was up and down hills at the soccer field. On our walk this weekend my husband was talking about how he was thinking we should get take out once a week and then I proposed we get it every other week. We talked about it and how it just messes with me so much and once a week seems like a lot for me. So, we met in the middle and decided on take-out about every 10 days. My next goal with that is to try to choose lower sodium options and eat something healthy like a salad before so I’m less starving prior. Therefore leading me to eat less of the higher sodium meal. In reality take-out food is not an option for us to eliminate because my husband and I are decently addicted to Thai food lol. So it’s all about balance right?
09/29 114.6 Whoosh whoosh. Went for a nice walk this morning coming in at just under five miles. Today’s breakfast was some yogurt topped with left over “healthy” apple crisp and a side of cottage cheese because I had less Greek yogurt left than I thought. I wanted to boost the protein content a bit for some extra staying power. My snack will be a chickpea cake batter dip I made because I was craving cake batter on Sunday and wanted to try making one of those “healthy” chickpea dips. It turned out decent. I wouldn’t serve it at a party because it definitely has a touch of a chickpea flavor… but it does the trick for me especially when dipped with apple slices. Dinner tonight will be some sort of stir fry with green beans, eggplant, shitake mushrooms and possibly flank steak. Yum! Have a good day!
09/30 114.4 It’s creeping back down to where I like it 😊. Went for a walk/run this morning. I think my joints like that better than running straight through. Food has been solid today. Busy day with work so just getting around to posting!
10/01 115.4 We went for a great walk this morning and I’ll be getting another walk in today when I walk to the post office to mail a few things. Dinner was a little salty with it being a stir fry but it was healthy other than the salt. The nice thing I’ve been noticing is that my calorie burns for the day have been up a lot higher since I activated the move bar on my Garmin watch. It’s a really nice reminder for me to get my heart rate up throughout the day. Usually I’ll jog in place or something when it reminds me to move. Have a good day!
10/02 115.0 We did a really good soccer workout this morning. Food was meh yesterday but not the worst. I actually had a non scale victory with Thai takeout last night where I put about a third of the meal in a smaller bowl with half the rice and was satisfied when I finished the bowl. So, I was able to enjoy it without crushing myself. We celebrated my husband finding out his Occupational Therapy fieldwork placements and he got exactly what he wanted (Psych hospital for three months and an acute care rehab for three months)! When he finishes that in June next year he will officially be done with his Masters program in OT 😊. So we are feeling pretty good right now, although he won’t believe it’s real until he is in the facilities and it’s happening lol. Happy Friday all!
10/03 115.0 I’ll take the 0.4 loss this round as a win. This weekend will be challenging because we have a birthday dinner for my mother in law tonight and a Christmas in October outdoor gathering with a few family members tomorrow afternoon where there will be Chinese food. So, Monday morning will be interesting. I’m hoping to have salad and eat a mini meal prior, so I am full when everyone else is eating Chinese food. The thing with Chinese food is that I’m fine without it if it’s not in front of my face but if it’s in front of my face I want it. So maybe if I balance my intake prior, I can still have a couple of pieces and not feel like I need more to feel full.
For exercise this weekend I plan on taking a walk or two and using the spin bike once or twice.
Have a good weekend!

Round 117 (my first “round”)
9/24/20 - 149.2 (1424/1430)
9/25/20 - 149.8 (1369/1430)
9/26/20 - 149.0 (1397/1430)
9/27/20 - 149.0 - scale thought about giving me 149.2. Part of me hoped for better as I went to bed hungry, but at the same I did got out to eat with friends for an outdoor-dining lunch yesterday. I ordered the cobb salad and when it came it was clearly not the calories that I had pre-tracked. For I better estimate I did what I have done in the past and broken it up into smaller estimations – slices bacon, ounces of chicken, etc etc. I then adjusted what I ate in the evening accordingly…. Gulp, just noticed my apple watch is not on. Weight probably should have been the 149.2. (1405/1430)
9/28/20 - 148.4 – good day yesterday. No official exercise but was cleaning/closing a seasonal condo (1404/1430)
9/29/20 - 148.6 – tiny tick up, no reason (1571/1430)
9/30/20 - 148.8 – second tick up, but I think I know reason. Yesterday, I ate a homemade vegetable soup at lunch (sodium?) and then stress eating during debate was a second serving along with a couple Duke’s shorties (better than my usual ice cream). Going to change the plan I had for today’s meals and see if a drop tomorrow confirms my thoughts (1403/1430 + 137 exercise)
10/1/20 - 147.8 – Yay, these are times I am grateful for tracking. Yesterday, after dinner I was full enough that I was concerned. I went over my log and checked that I did not miss anything or mis-measure. Nope all good. Got my delayed loss today. (1164/1430 + 326 exercise)
10/2/20 - 147.8 – I was curious what I would see for weight today. Yesterday, I ate solidly under my calories and even more so if I include exercise. Yesterday, I went back to using my 130-140 bpm music mix for my walk. Have not used it in years. Anyhow, it makes a huge different – better speed, better stamina and willingness to continue. And the higher speed also requires better form which I noticed made me engage more muscles and not just use my legs. I also did 2 minutes planking. Neither are “ab” workouts, but I could feel it a little last night. BTW I started the October UAC, the 60 minute plank, and 24 hours of exercise challenges yesterday for the month. Hope I don’t get to confused. (1390/1430 + 180 exercise)
10/3/20 – 147.2 – Yesterday started rough. There is definitely a down side to having a larger deficit like on 10/1. Had trouble getting “un-hungry”. Rework my pre-tracked day as I went along and staying under my 1430, which is a requirement for another challenge I joined.
Net change round 127 = -2.0

I'm not sure what in my reply to @anlaing016 was inappropriate. My primary concern from her note to the community is the stress she is feeling about her erratic schedule and that impact on her daily numbers.
As my food/weight comments, yes, those are my observations about my body, BUT I only learned about me because of years of daily tracking and weighing and learning my patterns. In my 12 years as a WW receptionist and weighing and speaking with 100's of members (I did on average 20 members/meeting for up to 13 meetings a week), I observed how different we all are. There is no one absolute that applies to everyone. The great aspect of community is that in that volume of support, there is a diversity in advice and within that advice something may help. Your food/loss pattern is different from mine. The food/loss comments I shared with anlaing were those a few cases where one could have a number of the scale that is out of line with the caloric content of the food diary/tracker. I have trigger two such anomalies since I began tracking on 9/14 - one was a higher carb day (slight uptick next morning but resolved by the following morning) and last week's higher sodium day. Learning an knowing ones patterns like mine and like yours IMO make it easier to not get throw off track (not stress) when the scale shows an unexpected weight.

9/24: 286
9/25: 288.2 (+2.2) ⬆️ I'm an emotional eater, and when upset about something I tend to over do it with food. 😩 I didn't go over my daily calorie goal by much, but with that and retaining water. Will it happens!! Back to it today. 😊
This morning I got my workout routine done, and I'll work on eating healthy today and staying under my daily calorie goal.
9/26: 287.2 (-1) ⬇️ Happy!! it's heading in the right direction again.. 😄 Now I need to learn not to over eat when my feelings are involved. 🤐 Find another way of handling stress & emotions. 🤔
9/27: 287.2 (-0.0) Staying the same, is much better than an increase. Yesterday wasn't the best day overall, but it's behind me now, 😒 Today is a new day! 🌞
9/28: 285.2 (-2.0) ⬇️ Weighed earlier than usual. Lost to more 2 lbs. Finally below this rounds start weight. Let's think positive, that it will continue to head downward. Would like to end round with a good loss.
9/29: 285.2 (-0.0) This seems to be the norm. When I lose one day, I'll stay put for a day. Hopefully, this means I'll lose tomorrow. Looking on the bright side, at least it's not a gain. 😄
9/30: 285.4 (+0.2) ⬆️ Didn't go down like I was expecting. It's only 2oz this is ok. Still have 3 days to get below round start weight. I just would like to weigh less than when I started this round. Like I said at the beginning of this round any loss below start weight would be good.
10/1: 283.2 (-2.2) ⬇️ Finally!! The loss I was waiting for. There are only 2 days left in this round. As long as I don't gain any weight back this round I'll be ok.

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.
10/02 165.4 It took until late evening before I felt better and my eyesight improved. I'm glad to have slept as well as I did and not increased weight. I didn't exceed my calories but my choices were not the best.
10/03 165.2 A good end to the 10 days - total of 3lb loss in this round
