Please join us! Starting on 10/04 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 129
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.

Highest Weight: 229.6 (March 2016)
Ultimate Goal Weight 175 by August 2021
I need to reassess my goal for 2020. Today I stand at 197.6. Can I lose 5.6 lbs by December 1st? My weight loss journey has slowed down but not stopped. I know I have gained some muscle (no complaints) and today is October 12. December 1st is 7 weeks and one day away. I should be able to lose 5 and half pounds in the time frame and at least 1 more NSV. Who knows what it will be.

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...
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.

- NOT SURE WHAT MFP HAS DONE TO THE LINE FORMATING HERE. IT SHOWED AS FINE WHEN I PREVIEWED IT! THEN IT POSTED IT AS TABLE BLOCKS. GRRRRR!
- A 5 minute process just took over 45 minutes just because of MFP updating incompetence.
- @tiabirdie56 I noticed that your Recipes section has the same problem
- 💡 MAYBE DOING IT AS BULLET POINTS WILL WORK. (Later: 👍🏻 Success!)
- Is anyone else having problems?

5 weeks till next physical 🩺
11 weeks (~ 7 rounds of 10 days) till 2021 🎉
My goal for 2020 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹Drink more water (target min 80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (4 AF days per week; ~16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

🎯Mini Goal: 208 = 15% weight loss. This might take a few rounds but it is my next target outside of seeing 0 or 5 as the last digit on the scale.

This is a gain in pounds but yet I feel less dread about the scale. I committed to 10 days of daily weigh-one and I did it! The scale used to delicate my mood. By the end of my 10 days, it didn’t. Hopefully that will continue. I am going to try it again!
