SW 221.1 Mom’s scale @ fishing camp 🎣
10/04 221.1 Mom’s scale @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3 miles, tracked food, skinny margaritas.
10/05 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3 miles, tracked food, wine. Good day fishing… caught a 26” redfish!
10/06 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3 miles, gardened, tracked food, wine.
10/07 222.5 Walked 3 miles in the evening after 5 hr drive home, tracked food, AF. Bye bye higher carbs, cake, fried fish and happy hour alcohol … I’m back home & tackling the number on the scale again.
10/08 220.8 Walked 4 miles, tracked food, AF. Nice to see the drop on my own scale! Getting close to my next mini goal!

Made the decision to move all my doctor appts up to November 2020 instead of waiting for annuals in January/February 2021. I was too stressed over my illness in February 2020, yes we had a friend pass away in Feb from COVID19, my daughter's wedding in April 2020, the pandemic, etc to follow through earlier this year. But no use putting it off any longer. I want to check in with my doctors to get some much needed advice.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month!!! All you girls go out and get your mammogram! My Mom & sister both had it and survived (sister 43 stage 4 given 3 years to live and she is now 58, my mom was 50 when she discovered it and now 83).
Guys it is important for you too to check in with your doctors (I have a guy friend that is a 3x breast cancer survivor). We can beat this with early detection!

Going for another round. If I lost another 2 lb this round, that would be amazing but will be happy with anything under 146.0 at the end.

Height 5’ 4.5

UHW - 9/13/01 168.8

UGW 129.0

Round 126 equivalent: -3.8
Round 127: -2.0

Round 128 – starting weight 147.2

10/04 – 146.6 Good morning. Tracking going fine, and I joined three other October challenges overlapping this on. Two are just pushing exercise, while the third is a daily accountability of tracking, < target calories, and over 20 min exercise. Staying under my target calorie number AND burning 200+ calories a day is becoming hard rapidly. I am hungry all the time. Down 1.8 lb in 3 days, and 6.4 lb in just under 3 weeks. I am happy with the loses, but I need sustainable as well. I may have to redefine what is “staying under goal calories”.

10/05 – 147.2 Weight makes more sense for 3 weeks with a total of -5.8. Still hoping to end the challenge between 145.8 and 145.2.

10/06 – 147.4 Another up, exercise and tracking does not predict this, Continue with watchful waiting.

10/07 – 146.6 Full circle, back to the 146.6. At least this time, it is closer to logical. (Note: hoping for 144 for 59th bday on 10/26)

10/08 – 146.4 Proud of myself last night for stopping myself from stress during the debate. Need to just leave the TV off

Hubby and kids have left town for a few days. I'm planning on catching up on sleep, work and housework.

I'm maintaining trust in the process. Last month I had 10 days of slow increase, then a big drop. Today is day 5.

6/10 124.8kg
Whoosh. A bit earlier and less than I expected, but if it doesn't go as high, I can't be surprised that it doesn't go as low. Reuniting with my family tomorrow. It has been a lovely few days by myself.

7/10 124.3kg
Another big drop. This gets me much closer to where I would be without the bumps. Gone on holidays, so no weighing for a few days, but I will keep on checking in.

8/10 DNW
I'm busy keeping up with the kids. They are always going. I will need a holiday from my holiday at this rate.

Day/Weight/Comment

10/04 - 142.5 - We picked up some crusty homemade bread yesterday and I've been indulging. I expect to see the results over the next few days, so I'll have to be especially mindful this week and freeze the leftover bread.
10/05 - 142.5
10/06 - 142.5
10/07 - 142.5 - My scale was bouncing all over this morning so I'm taking the average.
10/08 - 141.5 - I had an appointment at a corporate client office yesterday. It's been a over a year since I've seen the controller there and since I've pretty much stayed around maintenance since then I was surprised when she asked if I had lost more weight. I said "Oh no, I'm still around 142." Then I laughed and said "I'm so used to telling people on MFP what I weigh every day, I forgot most people wouldn't dream of it."

Didn't quite hit water goal. Got a nice yoga practice in, though! Meetings for work today so may try to squeeze in a yoga practice in between them. Not sure what's for dinner today, but its Thursday Night Football so there will be something delicious (: Still learning my ghrelin and leptin cues from my body instead of counting calories so we shall see how the weekend goes for me doing that (today is my Friday at work).

Previous Day's Comments

10/04 - TOM arrived so I think the drop was more from that than anything. Went out for a couple drinks with the Entire Texas Fam after some outside drama almost split us apart and things got hectic. We are all good and it was muuuuch needed for us all to go have fun like we did beginning of summer (with COVID restrictions -- Oktoberfest is happening in town but they knew of a little outdoor bar/food/live music place that was NOT at all crowded, thankfully). Didn't track because I was taste testing some different foods that were ordered and not entirely sure of counts. Stopped when I felt satiated. Eating window was extended a bit so I switched back to 16-8 for the weekend. I need to be flexible and fast AROUND my life, not live around my fast. With our football weekends, 16-8 is way more in-line and doable with my life, while 18-6 or 20-4 is much easier/more natural for me on weekdays. Being flexible will also help me continue fasting instead of falling off on weekends. Ribs are good this morning so tomorrow should be good for walking with the pup again. Making my beloved spinach artichoke dip today for football watching, not sure what else is on the menu.
10/05 - All good, expected sodium bump. Ended up having finger foods for the games yesterday so not real set meal times and everybody brought a little something. Based on my best estimates of tracking, I managed my calorie goal but my fast was shorter (13.5hr) and eating window a little longer. Switching back to 18+hr fast today (130pm or later). Water was good, not the best, but I'll take it. Food was delicious and my spinach artichoke dip was a hit with everyone -- even requests to make it again! Going to try for a walk today once doggo decides to wake up (she stayed in bed with dad). Hoping to drop sodium weight in hopes that come Friday/Saturday, I'm in a good place for birthday celebrations. Our friend's daughter's boyfriend turns 21 on Saturday (we have a surprise party for him) and she opens her coffee shop on Friday. I'll celebrate her (re)opening and my birthday Friday with a coffee and snack. She lost her shop due to covid when the renters wouldn't allow her to do curbside and are now not allowing her to renew. Luckily, she was able to find another place to rent and set up (: So proud of her (she's 20 and already owns a business!)
10/06 - Its okay, sticking with it and it'll drop. Feeling bloated and a bit crampy all over- probably combination of hormones, sleeping funny, and pizza for dinner. Was watching football and working on bug only to see pizza arrive. Guess its that or nothing so I had a couple slices and was satisfied. Was quite salty and thin crust so believing its more sodium bloat being maintained than carb bloat which would explain fingers being a tad puffy. Slept ok, but definitely woke up in a couple odd positions a few times. Probably won't walk today, yoga instead? My new yoga mat came in so I can finally get back to that. Walking is my cardio, yoga is my "weights" since I always get shaking muscles (: Walk yesterday was good, but I can tell I'm getting bored of my route through the neighborhood. Its tiny, so no way to switch it up, really. I'll have to ask around where dogs are allowed that aren't likely to be crowded so we can do something different and enjoy it. BF made breakfast yesterday so broke fast at 16hrs yesterday. Going for 18+ today with plenty of water to flush the bloat out and be on my merry way!
10/07 - There's the drop I was waiting for. Definitely FEELING (and weighing) less bloated, but looking more bloated in the belly? My BF% went up 1% since yesterday so there's something more to drop, but I can be patient (to a point). Reading "Fast, Feast, Repeat" by Gin Stephens. I'm already past the start point of her FAST Start 28 day, but I figured I'd follow her instructions and take measurements bi-weekly as body recomposition will not always show on the scale as a drop (hello muscles!) Fasted 18hrs yesterday, happily. Was veeeery hungry by the time dinner hit, as it was a bit later than normal (eating window extended by 10 minutes to allow me time to eat once it was done) despite having lunch. Didn't get to do yoga yesterday so hoping I'll feel more inclined today before I break my fast -- depends on my headache and general grogginess. Woke up at 330 only to toss and turn until my alarm ): On the fasted workouts chapter and excited to learn the science behind it. I've always had to work out in a semi-fasted state (3-4hrs since last meal) or I'll get nauseous. Walking is okay, but I am slower if I'm full. Yoga is definitely a no-no with anything in my belly (even too much water).

Oct 4: W 213. Is this CAKE??!! Well another day. Had a great brunch, then 2 slices of pizza, for dinner, the chicken wings were acceptable. I wonder if the hubbies constant snacking this weekend is influencing me? My health improvement is more important than what amounts to 2 meals eaten off plan. Did do a walking workout in late afternoon.

Oct 5: W 215. WHAT!! Deep breath, I realise this is water retention, from the wheat yesterday. I went to bed reciting my why's for this WOE and planning today very clearly. My choices have taken me 3 steps back and only consistency will take me forward.

Oct 6: W 215. Still here ,yesterday went exactly as I planned. Today went exactly as planned too! Did a w/o, drank enough water, ate according to plan and limited my coffee to 3.

Oct 7: W 214. DOWNWARD!! Back on track, no w/o, stuck to allowed food choices, did have some wine in the late afternoon. Just about finished my book about weight loss mind techniques. Got some sun too!!.

Good morning everybody! I'm sorry I'm coming in halfway through the challenge. I was two days on a train, and then settling in to my apartment in New Orleans and then waiting for a scale to arrive.

So this morning as I weighed for the first time since 10/3, I weighed 219.7. It's a new scale, but I'll take it. I'm still going to set goals, but given they're for 5 days, they will be moderate!

1. Keep weight below 220.
2. Focus on getting exercise throughout the day.
3. Strength train twice in the next 5 days.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/04 Birthday and traveling! Took a half hour walk on the DC train platform and did squats in my roomette.
10/05 Still on the train. Tried to have short dance parties periodically.
10/06 First day in New Orleans! Walked 2+ miles to grocery stores.
10/07 Still waiting on the scale. First walk in Audubon Park.
10/08 219.7. Busy day at work. But I'm going to strength train and cook today.

Hello all!

I'm 57 years old, 5' 9" on this weight loss journey since late last year - but didn't join MFP until April when my progress really began. I feel like I've been slipping a bit these past few weeks after a stomach bug first dropped my weight by 4 pounds

and then increased it by 8

. I think my body got a bit scared and started sending out lots of hunger signals. I'm hoping this challenge will get me back on track.

Monday is Thanksgiving in Canada - so I'm not aiming for a calorie deficit that day - but I will give this my best shot! I'm hoping to wake up on October 13 an acceptable 192 pounds.

Starting weight: 275.6 lbs.

Goal number 1: 190 lbs - Where I was when I quit smoking 4 years ago.
Goal number 2: 170 lbs - To see how that weight feel on this body and to gradually add back calories to my food intake to help transition to maintenance.

Round 128 starting weight: 192.4 lbs (started late - on 10/08) I've been this weight for 2 days.

Day/Weight/Comment:

10/08 - 192.4 Fingers crossed! Today was already a planned thin crust pizza for dinner day with a friend...rest of the day I will be very very careful to compensate a bit. Hoping to crunch a bit for the next three days. I was looking for inspiration in the community and found this challenge which I hope will help me make that three day crunch between pizza dinner and Thanksgiving a reality.

Day/Weight/Comment:
10/04 138lbs. (No change is better than an increase, right?)
10/05 138.5 (Ah...and there’s in the increase. Sigh. No idea why. I am doing my usual...weighing my vegetables, counting every calorie in my grape tomatoes, have run 3.5 miles every day, walked 15,000 plus steps, drank more than 120oz. water. Sigh. We’ll see tomorrow...)
10/06 139.5 (Dude getting weighed everyday is hard. Yesterday ran 3.75miles, 17,000 steps, 1135 calories, water, morning and evening exercises. And I gained a pound? What was it? Did the banana or apple I ate weigh more than the produce scale at Giant Eagle reflect? Oh well...every day is a new one. Maybe tomorrow will see a drop.)
10/07 138lbs (I didn’t see the drop I wanted, but I didn’t panic either. Just going to keep trying.)
10/08 139.5 (A gain. Yesterday was my usual 3.5 miles run. 1110 calories. 134 oz. of water. Very cherry tomato calories counted. Apple and peach weighed and veggies, too. Strength exercises, everything. I KNOW this happens. And I KNOW it will be okay. But it is still hard.)

44, 6' trying to maintain at 150. Have to track here for accountability. More water, more low/0 calorie snacks when starving.

10/5 159 ugh!
10/6 157
10/7 157.4 Need to get serious.
10/8 154.8 I'm sure this is artificially low. I was under and active yesterday

jlemoore · October 2020

No idea how to find my previous post. So I"m just going to talk about the day at hand and a brief recap of yesterday.

10/7- 158.5- Walked the plant; and walked the dog. Got in 10,000 steps. Food was good. But ate just a few too many dried figs and pumpkin seeds.

10/8- Did not weigh. Today's obstacles: My attitude continues to be horrible. Goals: 10,000 steps before I leave work today. Getting to bed and turning off the light by 10pm.

10/04 165.2 Hiked 6.25 Longest hike in awhile. It was a beautiful fall day. The kind of day you hope for every hike. Wore me out for the rest of the day though.

10/05 166.1 Mowed:)Still too wore out to go for a walk. I did mow and do other yard work as my workout today.

10/06 NS Spent the night with BF and didn't weigh before I ate breakfast. Working from home is funny, I spend the night over there then get home to start working by 8:00 like it's my job.

10/07 NS walked 2.02 Traveling with BF. Kind of happy to be out of my house. I'll be working from a hotel today and tomorrow. I'm in Wichita, KS. Not exactly the most exciting place but it's out of my house. There are the challenges of eating out but I need this.

10/08 NS walked 2.01 Found a cool park for my walk but got a late start and finished in the last of the sunset. Nice night and day. Today the drive back to KC and regular life. This has been great.

Better day yesterday in terms of food, though I did have some air-popped popcorn in the evening. I spent most of the day painting our interior doors 🚪, which I find very calming and meditative. I seem to be nesting like crazy! It’s cold and rainy this morning — a good day to stay in and do the final coat and then curl up to read or knit. ☕️🛋📚 Have a lovely day, all!

10/5 - 182.4 - 1534 - 🍌
Bump from a few days ago, I’m sure. Chilly & foggy this morning, but it’s supposed to warm up and be back in the 60-70s the rest of the week. Good — I have a couple hundred bulbs to plant! (I went a little nuts at the bulb store!) I finished painting all the hallway doors on the hallway side. Today I need to do a few room-side doors, and maybe start on the armoire I’m making into a pantry. Wheee! Keeps me from sitting around munching — maybe I should do more of the same at night! 😁 Anyway, happy Monday, all!

10/6 - 182 - 1701 - 🍨🍿☹️
Ok, I snacked last night. I also took a nice long walk, and was active most of the day, so not too bad. Today will be better! And I’m off to vote — first day of early voting here in Indiana. Then I’m planning to putter in the garden a bit, and go for a walk, and make a pot of minestrone. Anything to avoid my real work (writing), which I can do when it’s gray and gloomy and cold.

10/7 - 182 - 1550 - late lunch, late supper
Yesterday was a strange day — waited three hours to vote, but the crowd was inspiring, so that was fine. Schedule was off the rest of the day, though. It’s gorgeous and warm today — yay!

10/8 - 181.8 - 1308 - 🍿
Ok, I behaved myself pretty well yesterday. I did indulge in some popcorn, but overall my numbers were good, and I spent lots of time working in the garden. All good. I’m really enjoying these gorgeous October days!

Highest weight: 275 (12/25/2019)
Ultimate goal weight: 150
Round 126 SW: 266.6 (+.4)
Round 127 SW: 267.0 (-.2)
Round 128 SW: 266.8

10/4: 267

10/5: 266.4 ~ I’m going to start taking waist measurements on the weekends. I’m tired of not seeing my weight really change and having no other measurements to check if I’m making progress. I always aim to keep things as simple as possible or I know I won’t follow through, which is why I’m doing just my waist measurement and not my whole body.

10/6: 266.8

10/7: DNW

10/8: 266.4 ~ Starting to feel like I am really getting my weight loss mindset back!

quiltingjaine · October 2020

@michaeldaily4927 Mike, did you suspect you had COVID? I’m curious why you got tested. There was an “Emergency Alert” here a few weeks ago saying to call and schedule a COVID test right away. WHY? No explanation but why do that when we’ve pretty much been in lockdown for 7 months???

BTW, welcome back!
