Round 129
Age: 39
Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 148
GW: 140
UGW: 125
GW for this round: 146
Round 126 (1): 156 to 153.2 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 127 (2): 153.2 to 150.4 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 128 (3): 150.4 to 148.0 (-2.4 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Lose 2 lbs
- Get out for a morning run twice and do Ring Fit the other days
- Do core strengthening exercises 5x (every other day)
10/14 - 148.0 - Starting off on a nice round number. Got new running shoes yesterday, and they feel great! I’d forgotten how big a difference good shoes can make for my knees and feet. Did the new core exercises this morning; here’s to a great round for everyone!
10/15 - 147.2 - Ugh, yesterday was HARD. I don’t know what the trigger was (lack of sleep? hormones? too much calorie restriction?) but I was SO HUNGRY all day. I wanted to eat everything in sight. I managed to mostly stick to my meal plan, but still indulged in some extra bites here and there. I’m happy about the scale going down, but I’ve got to make some modifications if I keep feeling like this. It’s not worth it and definitely not sustainable.
10/16 - 147.2 - Happy to hold steady after such a big drop yesterday. Still not sure what caused such extreme hunger, but I felt much better yesterday and today. Will be ordering out for dinner, so will need to plan carefully.
10/17 - 147.8 - Not surprised, for two reasons. One is that we had take-out pizza last night that was very salty - both kids woke up wanting water overnight. The second is that I’ve been tracking my weight with HappyScale (after seeing it recommended here!) and I can see that I generally have a bump up every 12-14 days and I was due for one. Knowing that history makes it a lot easier not to freak out when I see the number on the scale go up.
10/18 - 147.8 - High again, but it’s also now TOM, so again, not too surprised. Also felt very sore and heavy trying to exercise this morning. Just got to keep eating well and trust that the scale will go back down.

🏃 10/14: 158.4 I didn't really want to restrict myself on any sort of food, but maybe, just maybe, I should make an exception for processed fried foods. They never sit well despite being ever so delicous. Lmao. It is only a pound and just gives me more to lose this round. I am ready! Today is Ring Fit Adventure Day! Due to all of these fluctuations, I will wait it out another round before I consider my mini goal of 158 achieved. I'm still on cloud nine just getting into the 150s. I almost can't believe how much I've achieved in only 60 days. I know this recurring thread has played a big role, so thanks to all who maintain it!
🏃 10/15: 156.8 I had steak and green beans for dinner yesterday, so I ate much better overall, though I did have Ramen noodles for lunch. I didn't, however, get to Ring Fit. It has been too long, so I will try to exercise today.
🏃 10/16: 156.4 I instictively started typing "16" instead of "15" out of habit. Lmao. I still haven't played my fitness games, yet, but I'm glad that my numbers are still looking good while I gather the motivation to play.
🏃 10/17: 155.8 Yahoo! I was a little worried because I had chic-fil-a, but it all worked out anyway!

JGM10D Round 129🎃🕸🕷🎃🕷🎃🕷🕸🎃
🎃🕸🕷🎃🕷OCTOBER🕷🎃🕷🕸🎃
🎃🕸🕷🎃🕷🎃🕷🕸🎃
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!
October focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2020 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 128- Stabilise weight under 150
- 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
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!
- 2020
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- 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.

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.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 129 (round 59 for me ) I'm in for another round – I still need the accountability! As always, thank you @GrandmaJackie such a brilliant 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 to get solidly into 132's. Stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference!End of round 69 134.2 lbsKeep calm – we're all in this together!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 133.4 - 9.82 miles walked yesterday, 278 calories in credit, 5g carbs over.
10/15 133.4 – 13.55 miles walked yesterday, 1001 calories in credit, all macros in green.
10/16 133.4 - only 4 miles walked yesterday running around with/after my 2 year old DGS, hence 525 calories over.
10/17 132.8 – yey, the scale moved !! 7.87 miles walked yesterday. 392 calories in credit and all macros in green.
10/18 133.8 (:( ) 12.75 miles walked yesterday. 428 calories in credit, but 27g carbs over as it was pizza night! Hope it bounces back down tomorrow!
10/19 133.4 – back to that same number again!! 4.38 miles walked yesterday, DGD & DS birthday celebrations yesterday hence 235 calories & 63g carbs over, a socially distanced bbq in their garden as we are all in tier 2, it was cold, but lovely to see them.

Thank you for asking & really grateful for all the prayers and positive thoughts from this group .
He is doing extremely well; approaching the end of his 3 month isolation period due to the high dosage of immunosuppressant drugs. I see him once per week through the window when I pick up his 2 year old brother to take him out for the day whilst Leo's parents take him to his weekly outpatients appointment. He is now a happy, well developing eight and a half month old baby and he is loving life; such a difference from the extremely sick little scrap of two and a half months ago.
We are all so so grateful to the wonderful NHS and the donors family and friends, there is no doubt they have all saved Leo's life.7 -
I hit my highest weight in 12 months last round because I have taken my eye off the target. I'm back in now with 5 kg to lose. Back to tracking, counting and posting.
OSW 88KG
RSW 63.4 kg
Target this round to lose 1kg
10/14 63.25 kg. Been sticking to the plan but had a slow gym session this morning. Happy with any drop!
10/15 62.8kg. No gym today as its mother's day so I'm having a day off. Pleased with the loss and keeping on it!
10/16 62.70kg. Weighed later than normal. Back to 4.45am weigh in on Monday. Still making good choices and back in the gym today. Determined to stay mindful over the weekend.
10/17 62.20kg. No gym today and focus is on staying mindful. Every choice is a victory.
10/18 62.65kg. I'm ok with this gain. Was over calories yesterday but the trend is down.
10/19 63.4kg isn't great but it's still down from Monday last week. 4 days to focus on now.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 - 72.7 - Weird day at work yesterday. TW: Men being inappropriate at work:One of the guys I work with turned up to a group social (online) chat just not wearing a shirt. I know it was just a social call, and we're normally fairly relaxed about dress codes (dressing gown and onesies have been a thing before), but that definitely crosses the line. It made me feel really quite uncomfortable, a kinda put a downer on the rest of my day. It also didn't help that I don't particularly like this guy (because he's a massive tool). Managed to set off all my anxiety and social triggers and really put me out for the rest of the day (and screwed getting some work done afterwards). Spoke to HR last night and feeling much better this morning.Because of that, food wasn't top of my brainspace yesterday. But ended up with a very small deficit for the day. Was really tired and got an early night, so had a much lower expenditure than I normally would. And I think I ended up not having much to drink yesterday evening as I woke up this morning feeling very dehydrated (makes my abs pop though lol). Overall happy with my weight, expecting it to go down a little bit again tomorrow
10/15 - 72.2 - Just over yesterday, countered by the day before's just under. So maintenance is going fine right now. Happy with that weight, hoping it's going to stop bouncing around at some point and stay a little more consistent day by day, but I think that's just me being hopeful. Besides it was only last week I was complaining about getting the same number for several days in a row. It appears I'm never happy. Today I'm WFH and we have our digital teambuilding (read wine drinking time), so I'm expecting to be a little over there, however I'm also expecting to do some physical work as we've got some stuff to take to the tip today, so hopefully I'll get enough exercise to make it work out about even.
10/16 - 71.8 - Wasn't expecting that. Almost certainly massively dehydrated from the wine yesterday. Although didn't drink nearly as much as I used to. I think my tolerance has dropped enormously (not that it ever was that high), probably due to the fact that I don't really drink that much anymore. Food about level, drink pushed it up over somewhat. And I am HUNGRY today. Right now I'm pondering if it's acceptable to nip to the cafe up the road for lunch. They do an excellent fry up. But I really do not have the calories for that, so lunch will be lunch at home. I might be in maintenance week, but that does not give me licence to go away and eat all of the things.
10/17 -72.1
10/18 - 72.1
10/19 - 72.4 - Well, that's my maintenance week over. Over calories for the week by around 250kcals, which, while not great, isn't really that bad. Especially considering that around 500 of those were alcohol related because we had our company teambuilding, so I'm not overly upset by it. As is standard practice, the weekend was a great calories wise. Judo on Saturday followed by a dog that needed walking and a long walk out with the family on Sunday gave me a huge amount of calories for those days, (which is how I managed to only be 250 over for the week considering the couple of heavily over days I had midweek). Proud of myself for yesterday as I managed to stop eating food twice because I wasn't hungry any more. Both brunch and dinner I didn't eat everything because I wasn't really hungry any more. Back to the grind today, although we do have a late judo session, so I'll be working out hard today as well. Should give me the calories to keep to the deficit for the rest of the week. And I've got already logged left overs for breakfast this morning, so I'm expecting today to look very low in the diary.

10/14 178.8 T.O.M started today and the chocolate cravings came back full force lol Must. Resist. Temptation...
10/15 178.8 Normally the 2nd day of TOM there is a drop but I'll take staying the same over an increase.
10/16 178.8 I ate like crap yesterday. Went 300 over my calorie goal. Oops. Back on track today.
10/17 178.4 A little loss. I'll take it!
10/18 178.2 Getting closer to my round goal. I got told yesterday that I shouldn't lose any more weight. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing because I still have quite a long way to go. It was from a coworker that always seems to have a comment about everyone's weight. Annoying for sure, but for them to tell me that I'm looking great and should stop now, was kinda weird.
10/19 178.0 Well I made it to my round goal! Slow but sure. After I had my last baby in 2013 I was at 250lbs. I got down to 178 before giving up. I am excited to see that number and PASS it this time! Happy Monday!

Another goal: Embrace the scale fluctuations and not get flustered.
Previous days10/14 112.7 This will probably go up because I splurged on Chinese food for dinner. I was so exhausted tonight from moving for three days, work being busy this week and TOM. Now that I do have more control over what we’re eating for dinner, this Chinese food won’t set me back as much as it would have when living with my in-laws. Frankly, I feel like I need a night like this every so often to keep me sane and not as crazy about food. Have a good rest of your night!
10/15 113.2 Did not post
10/16 (113.4) Haven’t weighed yet today. Food was good yesterday. I had left over cous cous, pork tenderloin, and then a giant apple with peanut butter for my breakfast. Then, a plum for a snack and dinner was homemade leek, potato, and kohlrabi soup. It was a pureed soup base (leek, onion, and potato) and then I added fresh csa corn from the cob to, fresh diced carrots, shredded CSA greens (I think they were collards or broccoli rabe, not completely sure), green beans and chicken thighs to give some texture and color. We also had salad and a roll with it. Yum! It reminded me of chicken pot pie but a lot lighter. Left over soup will be dinner tonight or maybe lunch. I’m not sure yet about that. Hoping for today to be a little less crazy with work. We are settling in to our new apartment and will be hanging up our pictures this weekend, which will make it feel a little bit more cozy.
10/17 113.0 Not too much on the agenda for today. I think we’ll be hanging curtains and a couple other things. We plan on getting Thai for lunch, just to try out the restaurant and then not get takeout for a while after today. I’m cool with that and looking forward to masaman curry with sticky rice. I plan on using our portable sauna thing later today, so helpfully that will help with some of the excessive water retention from salty Thai food. I’ll have a peanut butter and apple for breakfast, Thai for lunch and something light for dinner. My body is just tired from the events this past week and being in a new place, so I’m looking forward to this low key weekend. I was light headed this morning so I’m going to refrain from exercise today at least and take it as a sign I should take it easy. Have a happy Saturday everyone!
10/18 Didn’t weigh this morning, didn’t bother to see the Thai food water retention. Yesterday was a nice day getting settled. Hanging the curtains were a success and made a huge difference for sleeping last night! Today has been productive with hanging some canvases on the walls. Of course, one piece of a canvas set doesn’t want to stay on the wall with the Command hangers. 5 out of 6 have stayed up along with two pictures using the picture frame Command stickies. Oh well, I have re-alcohol swabbed the wall where the canvas fell from and will reinforce it with another hanger even though the other piece is doing fine with one hanger. There’s always one in the bunch that’s a pain, isn’t there?
I had oatmeal for breakfast with added oat fiber powder, inulin, and then added raisins, peanut butter, maple syrup, butter, a dash of salt, ½ an apple, and pumpkin spice seasoning. It was so yummy and the little touch of butter added so much flavor and tied everything together! I have chili in the croc pot simmering away with a combo of ground pork and ground beef and a whole concoction of different spices. This recipe calls for cinnamon and I love the depth of flavor the cinnamon adds to it. I’m looking forward to having that on top of pasta tonight. I can’t decide yet if I want to use brown rice pasta or black bean pasta. I’m leaning towards black bean pasta for fiber and more protein.
10/19 113.2 Woohoo! The Thai food didn’t stick like it normally does 😊. I plan on doing a spin bike workout today at some point. My plan was to do it this morning, but my husband has a busy day and asked if I could do it later, so he could try to sleep longer. So, my goal is to do a workout later in the day, which is typically a challenge for me because I get into a groove of my other things for the day. I think dinner tonight will be leftover chili, or that might be breakfast. Once again, I’m undecided. Breakfast might also be a chocolate protein cake. That chocolate craving is starting to come around again, so I might nip it with the protein cake recipe. If anyone is interested I’m happy to share it!

10/19 - 151.9 - Well that was a crazy fun weekend. My legs are a bit sore (I'm not sure how I'm not hurting more) and I'm real tired even after a good night's sleep last night, but it was worth it. Only downfall is I'm so incredibly dehydrated. My lips are cracked and bleeding, which takes forever to heal on me. Definitely pushing water. We ran out of water at the campsite unexpectedly and everything was closed by that time. Ended up getting some for the drive home but it was so hard to drink anything fast, especially since pitstops to pee weren't common. Back to fasting today - not sure how long, I'll listen to body since the whole dehydration thing probably put more stress than I'd like on it. Maybe go for a walk later, not sure yet. Aiming for an easy day but know I need to keep moving or legs will get locked up and sore, eek.

Previous Day's Comments10/14 - Normal fluctuation? Not sure. Food was way off yesterday. I was super hungry so I finished my fast at about 16hrs. But dinner I couldn't tell if hungry so I had a bit to eat but then felt really full about an hour later. Still learning my body's language, so not too worried. I knew it wouldn't happen immediately and I need to be patient and forgiving with myself. I will say, not tracking and being more mindful about food in general has been super freeing. The fairly consistent weigh ins have been an added bonus. Normally I'm constantly stressed about food, monitoring everything that goes in my body, and letting food control me. Now I let my body control it all and tell me what it needs and when. I've managed one challenge, my birthday, with fasting. Great results! Without it, I'd likely still be battling the weight gain. Next up starts Friday with camping. I won't have cell or internet service so I can't really track or post. As it is my birthday gift, I'm not a part of the planning of food and such, just which trails I'd like to hike and where I'd like to see within the park. Will be interesting to see how fasting and my body will play a part in all of this. Definitely will be a learning experience (:
10/15 - Shocking since I only fasted 15.75hr yesterday - my body wanted food and nothing was stopping those hunger signals! Also, a heavy dinner consisting of homemade spaghetti, garlic toast, and a caesar salad. Finished off the bottle of wine with FamWife we opened for dinner yesterday (1 glass each both nights). Today fasted 16.5hrs and broke it with Taco Bell. Its our guilty pleasure and its 30 minutes away so not common for us -- only when we go into that town for a specific reason. Today was going to the range. I could practice with my new(ish) 9mm and the boys could zero their rifles with the new scopes in preparation for deer season. Consolidated all the camping stuff we have on hand and packed that. Just need to pack Fam's stuff (including tent, air mattress for back of truck, and their sleeping bags), go shopping for the rest (mostly food), and pack that stuff up. I'm so READY! Hoping for 12hr fasts while out there. Body isn't quite fully fat adapted to be able to hike and such while fasting, no need to push it and cause harm. Here's where patience comes in -- hopefully I can stay content with the slow changes. The test will be whether my belt stays in the smaller notch after this weekend (once it dropped, it stayed down so far). I feel so much better without the constant bloat - hoping I won't undo all that. I'll see y'all Monday!! Have a wonderful weekend, all
10/16 - Taco Bell and Frito Pie for lunch and dinner didn't destroy me! I love this! And I was really low on my water intake, too. I'm surprised that alone didn't bump me up. I was hoping to sleep up until my alarm before showering but I was too excited. Good news - it left me time to weigh and post before BF even gets up! FamWife has to work half day, so FamHubs, BF, and I are going shopping for the rest of the foodstuffs we don't have once he's up and moving. She'll then have about 3 hours on the road to work before signal loss, which should be about her half day mark. Should get us there in time to see the little art town/old army base, take the (slightly, 10 mins or so) longer, more scenic route to our campsite, and set up before dark (we have to be there by 8 but aiming for sooner so we have daylight to get camp set up). I'm so reaaaady! See y'all Monday (:
