Happy Saturday! My goodness it is a beautiful day. My Airbnb has a beautiful patio, so I started out my day journaling and doing the crossword outside and it was so very peaceful. I'm so lucky to be here. Wishing such a good day for everyone. Make good choices!
Goals for challenge:
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. FBG 99. Busy day at work. But I'm going to strength train and cook today.
10/09 219.7, FBG 109.
10/10 218.7. FBG 104. Weight down, sugar down a little. Managed to do a little strength training yesterday, so that's good stuff. Learning different ways to strength train without hand weights. I have bands at least. I push, I pull, I squat down, I jump up, I twist. Do it enough to get tired but not be in pain, I'm doing it right (enough).

Day/Weight/Comment
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!
10/10 …..210.0 ….. I went out for fish fry for the first time in awhile which included hash browns. I will try to watch it very carefully today.

Round 128
Ready for My Round 6!
Jillian Age 34 and 5'1"
HSW: 179.8
CSW: 160
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: 158 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 (4): 167.8 to 164.4 (-3.4)
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!
🏃 10/10: 158.4 Yesterday, I found out Whataburger had a new spicy chicken sandwich, so I had to try it. I am glad it didn't do any harm. It probably helped that I had a cucumber salad for lunch. Today is the day I make some time for my Switch fitness games.

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.

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."
10/09 - 142 - My step-daughter and her family flew up from Florida yesterday and we're having a socially distant bonfire tonight. I'm eating light today since I'm sure there will be plenty of food and "beverages."
10/10 - 142.5 - The next few days will tell the tale of the past couple days. I've had a good time though and this doesn't happen often.

10/04 199 getting tired of seeing this number. No TV for 3 year olds this weekend. At school my they were play fighting and she broke his glasses on purpose. I HAVE BEEN SO MAD. So this week I am going to watch my wine consumption and practice mindfulness
10/05 199.1 I love them but I now am beginning to understand the term brain damaged from Sinbad or Bill Cosby Himself. You feel like you keep repeating yourself and repeating yourself and repeating yourself and when you lose your mind and they look at you like your crazy. I feel like a crazy person right now. I took them for a walk yesterday and got a dance in yesterday and did 4 loads of laundry. 15887 steps and 1851 calories.
10/06 197.6 home with a sick daughter. Her asthma tends to act up at this time of year. The school will not do nebulizers anymore. I do like the progress
10/07 198 yesterday 1815 calories 11638 steps two short aerobic workout. My calves are sore this morning. I did some serious stretching this morning and a low impact workout. I might get a walk in this afternoon but nothing too strenuous. Progress is slow but it is happening.
10/08 198.6 going the wrong way. 1706 calories 15019 steps
10/09 197.5 There it is. Went way over in calories but did well in steps. I am hungry. New England is cooling down and eating is just natural. My snacks seem like they are not enough anymore. I think next week I will try an afternoon tea. Black cherry tea with lime juice. Drink it slowly and it should curb this hunger. This time of year is hard. Apple picking with my babies this weekend. Hayride and playground. I cannot buy any fudge. Now that’s it’s in print. I won’t.
10/10 198.1 hungry so hungry. No matter what I've eaten today I am still hungry.since 10am very large breakfast still hungry all day...

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.
10/11 133.4 - 7.54 miles walked yesterday. 328 calories in credit, all macros in green. Ready to move down out of the 133's now!!

October focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2020 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 128- 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

Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:
2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
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!

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.

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!
10/09 221.1 Walked 3 miles, tracked food, AF. Undecided on the keto fried green tomatoes with coconut flour … I definitely like cornmeal better.
10/10 220.0 Walked 4 miles, bike 15 min, tracked food, wine. Planning ahead menu & exercise before a splurge today … Saturday night celebrating my son’s 30th birthday at Grimaldi’s Pizzeria and then back home for Southern Keto Cookbook’s Keto Cheesecake with Pecan Almond Crust. Hit my 10% loss goal! Nice to see that final zero this morning … now to tackle the teens!
10/11 219.5 Walked 3 miles, fungicide & fertilizer for the yard which is a lot of walking again! Yep tracked even though the night included 1 slice pizza, cheesecake and wine.

So very happy that this challenge is still going strong! The last time I did this was years ago and it worked so well. I stopped for a variety of reasons but am excited to be back!!
I anticipate some quick weight loss in #s this first week since I am looking to cut out (again) major foods that sincerely do not agree well with my body and leave me swollen and generally feeling unwell.
Goal: 5lbs - not sure if that’s too ambitious, but we will see. I have a lot of deflating to do !!
Day/Weight/Comment
10/04 - 178.5 so swollen today, looking forward to progress.
10/05 - 176.5 - starting the process to find my real current weight, usually takes a day or two to get rid of swelling
10/06 - 173.5 - I technically hit my goal but in all honesty I got food poisoning yesterday.. I expect an increase in a few days lol
10/07 - 175.5 - seems more accurate .. finally ate food last night 👍
10/08 - 172.5 not sure what’s happening .. I’ve cut out those things that don’t agree with me but I think I just need to give this at least a week to understand where my real weight is at!!
10/09 - 175.5 again. My scale only goes by 0.5.
10/10 - 174.5 🤷🏻♀️
10/11 - 174 - I ate too much salt but seems like I drank enough water to make up for it! I think these numbers that I’m seeing are finally my actual weight

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 eating during the debate. Need to just leave the TV off
10/09 – 145.8 This was a happy surprise. Though all my numbers were good, I was mentally preparing myself for a gain today given how the rest of my numbers this week had been going.
10/10 – 146.0 The tiny seesaw continues. End of day dinner was heavier than typical, though I kept under my target calories for the day.
10/11 – 146.4 argh. I am assuming results of high sodium yesterday and don’t have hope for tomorrow’s number as I am fitting in two slices of pizza and one cookie today at a socially distanced backyard memorial to my FIL today. Still keeping the numbers good. I know it will pay off in the long run even if individual days are frustrating.

Hello all!
57 years old, 5' 9" Starting weight: 275.6 lbs (20200101). First Goal: 190 - where I was when I quit smoking 4 years ago. Second Goal: 170 lbs. To see how hard it is to maintain. I plan to up my daily calories as I go from 190 to 170 to help transition to maintenance.
Round 128 starting weight: 192.4 lbs (started late - on 10/08) I'm hoping to wake up on October 13 modest 192 pounds.
Day/Weight/Comment:
10/08 - 192.4 - 1530 calories.
Fingers crossed! Today's long-planned pizza dinner is the first splurge day since the end of August ... Pizza was great. Walked 17 km - didn't intend to walk that much, but helps with the pizza eating! Woke up in the middle of the night fretting about updated ultrasound of a shoulder injury-but some cheese and crackers and a tea with whiskey helped me get back to sleep! And no, I didn't log that 3 in the morning snack - I'm only admitting to it here.
10/09 - 192.6 - 1215 calories.
Pleasantly surprised at this tiny weight increase! Today was pretty good on the food front - evening plans were cancelled - so managed to stay under my new goal of 1300 calories (just couldn't maintain 1200 / day anymore). Walked just over 10km. Hope that tomorrow morning the scale smiles at me.
10/10 - 192.2 - 1317 calories.
Smiled in the morning. Walked 9.7 km. Good all-round day!
10/11 - 191.8
Smiling even more this morning! Maybe I can achieve this modest goal.

10/08 144.6 small breakfast, smoothie for lunch and bigger protein dinner felt good yesterday.
10/09 145.0 was craving sugar so bad yesterday. Will get back to my lunch smoothie today that seems to curb it with yummy mango & pineapple & spinach.
