10/03 …..210.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

10/04 …..210.0 ….. The gift of the pumpkin bread from a friend didn’t help, but I’m working it back down. Luckily it was a mini loaf which I shared. All gone!

10/05 …..211.6….. WTH??? A lot of steps yesterday and food seemed balanced. However, dinner at 11:00 pm (busy day) and no TMI probably contributed. I will stay mindful today!

10/06 …..209.4 ….. Wildly all over the place. Not my scale, just my habits and my TMI. Happy to see such a nice Whoosh today!

10/07 …..209.6….. Fluctuation. Yesterday was a pretty good day!

10/08 …..209.8 ….. I’m still going to call this a fluctuation because I had a very good day yesterday. However, no TMI x 2 days so that is probably it. Overall, I am making better choices. Last night I prep cooked for today’s lunch and leftovers for dinner. A very low cal & low carb dish. It should help. I absolutely cannot keep dipping back up into the 210 and higher. I’ve got to take this gift of 209 point whatever and continue a downward trend. I am very proud of myself right now.

10/09 …..209.6 ….. TMI helped finally. I also ate prepped food which was very good but I became severely hungry last night due to the low calorie options. The snacks were not healthy and not in plan or my numbers would have been better. My car broke down last night also. I think it’s the transmission. In the shop today. This is not good. Pray for me that it will be fixable at a reasonable cost!

Round 127 (5): 164.4 to 160.4 (-4.0)

🏃 10/04: 160.0 This is a wonderful start. It means the excessive amount of sushi I had last night did no harm. However, I am making it a personal daily goal to play a Switch fitness game today. It will probably be Ring Fit Adventure.
🏃 10/05: 161.0 I did manage to play Ring Fit Adventure, but dinner threw me off yesterday. My husband wanted Cracker Barrel, and I noticed they had a new pot roast soup, which probably would have been perfect. However, Doordash called and said they didn't have it, so I just told them I wanted fried shrimp. I guess that was the mistake because I gained despite it falling within my calories. Lmao. It was really delicious, though, so I guess it was worth one day of going in the wrong direction. Today will be better.
🏃 10/06: 161
🏃 10/07: 160.6 I'm not even worried about the scale not moving much today because I have a different sort of victory. I can squeeze into my largest jeans that I own for the first time two years! Yesterday, I had charro beans and fajita for lunch and chicken and green beans for dinner. I hope to eat similarly today. We shall see if I can do some Switch fitness today, too. I am also feeling really good!
🏃 10/08: 158.8 This is fantastic to see right after Ring Fit Adventure knocked me out yesterday. It was such a good workout that I couldn't move for a while! The boss battles get tougher as you go along.
🏃 10/09: 159.2 This was definitely from way too much sodium, so I'm not letting it bother me. I am on a good track now. This will be a great weekend!

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.

GW 199

CW 234.8

My goal for this round is to lose 2.8lbs by the end of the round.  Good luck to all.

10/4. I weighed in at 232.4, so i've made a big jump to hitting my goal.  Walked 24k steps today and im doing great on food, and tracking.  Now, I'm gonna do a bit of weight lifting and watch some sports.  Have a great night, and good luck all.

10/5  Another great day.  I weighed in at 231.7, so i made it!  I am no longer obese, just overweight.  I ate well, logged everything, and got 25k steps in.  I even got into a Large tee shirt for the first time in years.  The only downside us, i'm quarantined until my covid test gets back in 48-72 hrs.  I dont have symptoms, so i get 2-3 days of more alone time.  Tomorrow i think i'll make chili.  I have some trinadad scorpion peppers that are supposed to be hotter than molten steel, so we will see how that goes.  Anyway, good luck all.  Have a great night.  I have to go do the dishes.    MIKE

10/6. Had a great day.  24k steps, just over 1200 calories, and weighed in at 229.7 lbs, so i have already beat my goal with 7 more days to go.  Had a 3300 calorie deficit today, so tomorrow is shaping up well.  Have a wonderful night all, amd lets see what tomorrow brings.   MIKE.

10/7  i had another very good day, and weighed in at 228.4 lbs.  I ate well, logged everything, got 24k steps, and even had 2 beers.  Covid came back negative and im off quarantine. Hope everyone had a great night, and we'll see everyone tomorrow.    MIKE

10/8. I had a great workout at the gym today.  Elliptical trainer to warm up, 30 minute circuit, then some HIIT woodchoppers to finish strong.  24k steps.  Weighed in at 228.4 again, but hsd a big win at that world famous menswear store Walmart, whrn i fit in 34 inch jeans.  Bought a large snap button shirt that is s shade tight, so that is my next goal.  Ate great, had 3 beers and a great dinner of air fryer fried chicken and steamed vegetables.  Ovrtall, i couldnt be happier.  Good night all.  MIKE

10/9.  one more good day on my journey.  still stuck at 228.4, but im still also very happy with my progress.  i got another 24k steps in.  dinner with friends and their kids/grandkids, which meant egg rolls amd spring rolls, along with 3 scotch and sodas.  but, i still stayed well below target.

tomorrow will be a challenge.  my side hustle is making wine at a local winery.  we have been closed due to covid, but tomorrow we will be bottling a chocolate raspberry and a meuller thurgau.  im exited to get back in the wine room, but tasting our batches is part of the artistry of it.  i'll need to watch i dont go apeshit and drink 1000 calories of wine.  anyway, i hope everyone had a great night and wish everyone a wonderful weekend.    MIKE

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 126 (round 58 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 the start of our fortnight's holiday 19th onwards, but goal for this round – to lose a pound. Stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, keep the 10 days binge free again, it makes such a difference! Keep calm – we're all in this together! Wash hands, be kind and follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/04 133.8 - no structured walking yesterday due to travelling back home and persistent train ?, hence eating yesterday was at maintenance level. Really hoping this rain stops soon ,?.
10/05 133.2 - 9.55 miles walked yesterday, 774 calories in credit, all macros in green. Feeling refreshed after holiday and ready to push on.
10/06 133.2 – 6.26 miles walked yesterday (struggling to get miles in with the rain!) 28 calories in credit but 15g carbs over.
10/07 133.6 - 11.08 miles walked yesterday, so pleased the rain held off during the morning. 869 calories in credit, all macros in green.
10/08 133.6 – 12.7 miles walked yesterday, 724 calories in credit & all macros in green.
10/09 133.6 – only 3.83 miles walked yesterday, running around following my 2.5 year old DGS around a country park, jumping him over logs, rocks, splashing through puddles – you get the picture!! Hence 427 calories, 107g carbs & 7g fat over. Todays a more easily controlled day, but Friday is pizza night !!!
10/10 133.6 – 9.4 miles walked yesterday, 521 calories in credit & all macros in green.

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.

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.

9/10 DNW
Hiked to the beach, then along to an interesting rock called Camel Rock. All up, it took about 90 minutes, but with the kids, there was a lot of stopping and starting. I have blisters now though.

10/10 DNW
Last day of my holidays. When the cabins booked were at opposite ends of the park (and a hill) getting plenty of steps in has been default.

Day, Weight, Comment
10/04 - 143.5 - I gained 1.1 pounds in the last round. Going to work to undo that.
10/05 - 143.1 - Good to see a modest loss
10/06 - 142.1 - Getting closer to September's numbers. When I came back from 2 weeks of holidays and went back to work (stress) I really gained. Glad that it is starting to even out.
10/07 - 141.5 - yay
10/08 - 139.6 - Fun to see that number although it doesn't seem real. We'll see tomorrow.
10/09 - 141.3 - All good with today's number, but really happy to have touched the 130s once. Exciting to think that I can get into that next decade.
10/10 - 142.3 - All over the place with fluctuations, no reason for this gain. I was hoping for a nice low number today before I go into 3 days of (Canadian) Thanksgiving food.
