We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
Rnd 130 SW 116.5
10/24 115.5 Out to dinner last night, hamburger, no bun and a few French fries. AF
10/25 115.0 DD#2, SIL, and 2 granddaughters are coming for dinner - burgers, salad, chips, deviled eggs. AF
10/26 115.0 AF
10/27 115.0 Yesterday was one of those, “I’m just not hungry” days. AF
10/28 115.5 Carrabba’s yesterday for lunch with friends. Avoided pasta but had a slice of bread with their oil/herb blend. YUM! Then had a dish of ice cream later at home and not enough water!🤷♀️ It’s all good.
10/29 117.5 Well, there’s the carb hit! Totally expected. I planned tomorrow to go through sewing stuff with my daughter and one of my sewing friends. Daughter picked the day and now she has cancelled. Not the first time and I’m frustrated and sad. AF

Round 130
Age: 39
Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 146
GW: 140
UGW: 125
GW for this round: 144
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)
Round 129 (4): 148.0 to 146.0 (-2.0 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Lose 2 lbs
- Meal prep breakfast for at least 6 days
- Do core strengthening exercises 5x (every other day)
10/24 - 146.0 - Ok, ready for this round. Last night was Movie Night, which had the double whammy of me not getting in my normal evening walk and the temptation of buttered popcorn. I limited myself to a small amount of popcorn (still had butter on it though - not worth eating otherwise!) and we had a great time. Got off to a slow start this morning with a light workout and then a pancake breakfast - I didn’t blow all my calories for the day but I’m going to have to be careful.
10/25 - 144.8 - Eeeee! Where did that come from? Feeling great this morning - going to do a Halloween scavenger hunt with the kids in a local park today, and I did the grocery shopping yesterday so I can meal prep this afternoon.
10/26 - 145.0 - Tiny bump compared to the big drop from yesterday. Made goat cheese, roasted asparagus and spinach egg muffins this morning which hopefully will last me a few days. It meant I had a little less time for Ring Fit, but I still got it in. A morning without working out would feel strange at this point!
10/27 - 145.4 - Not the direction I want the scale to move, but I will not let it get to me! After seeing antiderivative talk about it on here, I got Just Dance 2020 for the Nintendo Switch last night and had SO MUCH FUN dancing with it this morning. It was a good workout too, and I’m sure it will be an even better one once I learn the moves for my favorite songs.
10/28 - 145.2 - Right direction, at least, if not by much. It’s getting colder here, so I probably won’t attempt any more outside runs in the morning for awhile. I’ll just focus on Ring Fit, Just Dance and I want to get the new Fitness Boxing 2 game when it comes out in December.
10/29 - 144.8 - Glad to be back down below 145 - just hope it sticks this time. My NSV is that when I was walking our dog last night, I realized that the leggings I was wearing were getting pretty loose! I’d already gone down a size in jeans, but now I can go down one in leggings too. I also made some strawberry banana overnight oats which were delicious this morning. Looking forward to getting to eat it the next few days as well.
10/30 - 143.4 - I actually said “wait, what?” out loud when I saw the number on the scale this morning. I know it’s as much of a fluke as a suddenly high weight - but it did put a smile on my face. Likely won’t stick around anyway, since tomorrow is Halloween and we’re doing a backyard party for the kids and the other family in our pod. I’ve got a lot of baking to do today for it!

Round 130 Goal: 282
Day/Weight/Comment
10/24: 284
10/25: 283.4 (-0.6) ⬇️ happy to still be going in right direction! 😊
10/26: 282.6 (-0.8) ⬇️ Slowly, but surely wins the race. 😂.
10/27: 280.6 (-2 lbs) ⬇️ Now this is more like it. 😃 Everything is looking good so far, and I hope it continues that way. Since I've already reached my goal for this round (282 lbs) I've decided not to set another goal, but see where it goes from here.
10/28: 280.4 (-0.2) ⬇️ Still a loss and I'll take it over a gain anytime. I'm getting a new scale today and I hope it shows the same weight or less, then my old scale. There's always a little uneasiness with getting a new one, because you wonder if the old one was giving you the correct weight. I'll know for sure when I weigh in the morning. Keep your fingers 🤞crossed. Lol 😅
10/29: 279.4 (-1) ⬇️ I don't know how it happened, 😚 because I went over my calorie intake for the day. I was so sure I'd gain this morning. I'm really glad for whatever reason I didn't gain. 😊
10/30: 279.4 (0) 😊

I told her out was over and she couldn’t believe it. She had a pineapple milkshake for lunch and went to school! Prayers for an easy day for you!
Thanks quiltingjaine, I apparently cracked my crowned tooth and that makes it unsalvageable and likely to infect again. Dentist, periodontist and oral surgeon all agreed. I had an absess on my gemlike at the end of August that was the clue. So today, it was pulled, and they did a "bovine" bone graft at the same time to retain structure. In 3 months, I'll get evaluated for an implant. Moral of the story - brush and floss like a madman.
Your daughter sounds amazing. Advil is doing the job for me, but definitely a little "off" post sedation. Oddest part is that I could not get warm for hours after. Feeling pretty good now at the 4 hour mark.

10/27 62.75kg...not bad. Gym done and aerobics this evening.
10/28 63kg. Really was expecting a drop today as yesterday was great on calories, carbs and exercise.
10/29 62.85kg not sure why it's not lower as everything is going well. Gym done today and a core fitness class later.
10/30 62.5kg it's down which is great. I just want it to be more down! 😂 Gym done

Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home

😷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.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/23 …..206.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
10/24 …..207.8 ….. No lunch. Cereal for dinner. Stupid, I know. Rushed Hurry Food. One whole pound on the scale. Today’s dietary choices not much better but much accomplished otherwise with my projects and dilemmas. Sunday is always very active for me so perhaps I can burn off some of my mistakes. Time to pay the fiddler.
10/25 …..208.2 ….. Hasty choices in a busy world right now. Angry! And I travel tomorrow so I feel like there is no hope in sight! #nevergiveup
10/26 …..208.2….. Balderdash!
10/27 …..210.4 ….. After travel weight. Freaking out here! I am going very low in carb & calorie today and will try to push the water too. I am NOT BUYING any Halloween candy to give away or fill office dishes with (to graze on). I will give away juice boxes for the few trick-or-treaters that I get in this rural area.
10/28 …..209.2 ….. Keeping diligent and trying to move more too. Focus, Focus, Focus!
10/29 …..207.9 ….. Low cal yesterday but carbs thru the roof. Plenty of horrible choices, not gonna lie! But the quantities were small. No breakfast, very healthy low cal/low carb lunch but horrible dinner and dessert. The scale went down because even with bad choices my calories were still pretty low. Striving to do better today but it’s not feeling like it’s going to be a good day.
10/30 …..208.4 ….. Woke up at 4:15 AM starving and I actually warmed leftovers and went back to sleep. Very strange. I couldn't control the tremendous hunger, but it was not a sugar drop episode. I think my dinner may have been too small or low in calorie. My weigh-in this morning was too close to late nite food fest.

10/27 62.75kg...not bad. Gym done and aerobics this evening.
10/28 63kg. Really was expecting a drop today as yesterday was great on calories, carbs and exercise.
10/29 62.85kg not sure why it's not lower as everything is going well. Gym done today and a core fitness class later.
10/30 62.5kg it's down which is great. I just want it to be more down! 😂
10/31 62.5kg. No exercise today. No power either and a tree down after a huge storm last night.

10/27 159.6 Note to self, don't make home made bread! I really want to clear by food stores by the end of the month and I had this packet bread. Not even that brilliant but I had two slices yesterday and another this morning. I think I'll freeze it and use it up slowly. I've a food delivery on Thursday so I'll take off the bread I've ordered. This frozen bread will last at least two weeks.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 130 (round 60 for me ) I'm in for another round – I really 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 back into 133s. 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 lbs

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

10/28 115.5 Carrabba’s yesterday for lunch with friends. Avoided pasta but had a slice of bread with their oil/herb blend. YUM! Then had a dish of ice cream later at home and not enough water!🤷♀️ It’s all good.
10/29 117.5 Well, there’s the carb hit! Totally expected. I planned tomorrow to go through sewing stuff with my daughter and one of my sewing friends. Daughter picked the day and now she has cancelled. Not the first time and I’m frustrated and sad. AF

So sorry your daughter cancelled. Their lives are so busy, but we look so forward to having time with them. It's hard sometimes.
May I ask, what does AF mean in the sense you are using it here. I KNOW the slang meaning, but I've seen it several times in this forum and I don't think that what it means here.4 -

Day/Weight/Comment
10/24 180.4 Pretty proud of myself for yesterday’s self-control. I took my grand baby to a little mountain town fairly close to us yesterday after work for a walk on the greenway. While the greenway is wonderful, as most little mountain towns are this one is full of fudge, candy, and ice cream. I had none! Then when trying to find a place to eat, I left one place because there was literally nothing but junk food (fried stuff or high calorie options) on the menu and went to a place where I could get a better choice. (It was just along our walk, so no one noticed.) This is the kind of self-control it takes for me to be successful, and my body really wanted the ice cream or rich dessert. I just have to say no to this stuff right now. And I did!
10/25 179.2 Yes! Into a new decade in the right direction for a change!
10/26 180.6 It’s OK. It had been straight down for a week, so it was time for a blip up. Weight loss isn’t linear, and I know that. I pulled a meal out of the freezer for early dinner last night before a Halloween event. It was not one that I had carefully calorie/content controlled, so that is probably to blame, too. I was careful with portion control and did really well not being overwhelmed by the Halloween candy all around at the event. I also walked a ton because the event was “Boo at the Zoo,” so I pushed a baby stroller all over the place at the zoo.
10/27 180.2 Good day yesterday. Stayed within calories and got in a walk. Headed back down, so that’s good.
10/28 179.6 Hoping to stay in this decade for a bit now. I was afraid our meal out last night might interfere with getting back down into the 170s, but I walked stairs (lots of them) at work yesterday and got in two walks, then i figured out how to make my favorite meal at this restaurant fit into the day and asked them to leave off the creamy sauce. It was still yummy. Hubby likes to go here a lot, especially while the weather is still nice--they have such a nice outdoor space. I'm glad I found a solution that doesn't undo my hard work. Gotta keep at it though in hopes of not going back up to that other number.
10/29 179.6 Weather is terrible here with rain and wind from the remnants of the hurricane; had to do all exercise inside yesterday and today doesn’t look much better. Still down 2 lbs from the end of the last round, so I’ll take it. I was really craving protein snacks after dinner last night. Had to settle for cheese because I didn’t have much else in the fridge. Gotta fix that. Oh, I started a YouTube adventure yesterday while on my exercise bike. Will be watching a hiker named Dixie thru hike the Continental Divide Trail. I’ve watched some of her AT and PCT hike videos before and she’s fun to watch. I’ll only allow myself to watch while on my bike, so it should last me a while. I know more bad weather is coming, so I’m hoping this motivates me to ride more often.
10/30 180.2 Gave into cravings yesterday, so I was expecting this. Halloween is tomorrow, so this is going to be hard. Gotta do what i can to limit the damage.
10/31 180.2 An emotional day both at work and on a personal level. Work, in this pandemic, is just so…not what it used to be when I LOVED my job. I was ready to quit yesterday, but of course, I cannot. Then an old friend whose kids used to play with mine when they were young lost her bright, talented, mid-20s daughter to cancer—melanoma that wasn’t caught until it had spread to her liver. Tragic! Just went with the flow on food yesterday, but did manage portions, so all seems ok on that front this morning. Happy Halloween everyone!

Hi, I’d like to join please.
I am seeking to maintain (or drop a small amount) and find that I need the discipline of daily weighing to stay on track. I use Happy Scale to record my weight and will post actual weight in kg and the trend direction.

SW 57.2 kg
GW 56.8 kg
Sat 24 57.2 Trend ↔️
Sun 25 56.9 ⬇️ More than I was expecting 😊
Mon 26 57.1 ⬇️ Not surprised given yesterday’s unexpected drop.

Wed 28 56.8 Trend ⬇️ Now I want to stay below 57 😊
Thu 29 56.8 Trend ⬇️
Fri 30 56.7 ⬇️ Trend 😊
Sat 31 56.6 trend ↔️ Lots of calories planned for today so trying to compensate with extra exercise. Fingers crossed.

3 weeks till next physical 🩺
9 weeks (~ 6 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)

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
10/24 219.6 Walked 3 miles this evening, tracked, AF. Long car drive returning from the camp. Yesterday I felt like I’m back in sync with following my better habits and plans I started in August. Still in the teens but really sorry to not see the 218 on the scale that I saw earlier in the week before the camp. I know why given my choices at the camp. It’s in the past … moving on.
10/25 218.0 Walked 6 miles, tracked, 4 glasses of wine … my kids surprised me with a birthday party.
10/26 217.1 Walked 4 miles, tracked, AF.
10/27 219.0 🎂🥳 60 years young! Walked 4 miles, tracked everything, 2 glasses of wine. This bounce up is disappointing! I was in a funk and felt hungry which led to many different snacks in the afternoon.
10/28 218.1 Walked 3 miles, tracked everything, 3 glasses of wine + 2 Benedictine and for dinner crab claws appetizer, salmon, roasted veggies at a “fancy” birthday celebration. The thinner me loved getting dressed up.
10/29 218.7 Walked 1 mile, tracked, AF. Fried chicken at lunch was obviously not my friend. Yummy homemade Rustic Hungarian Mushroom Soup for a chilly day.
10/30 217.3 Walked 5 miles, prepared the flower beds, planted snapdragons, pansies, ornamental cabbage & alyssum! tracked, no snacking, 2 glasses of wine. Annual mammogram ✔️
10/31 281.1 Walked 5 miles, tracked, 2 glasses of wine. 🎃 💜GEAUX😊TIGERS💜 Today we are tailgating for the game & serving our traditional Halloween chili. Lots of new kids moved into our small neighborhood during this pandemic. Planning to hand out something I personally don’t eat … fruit rollups!2 -
Next overall goal is to get back to 142.4, which was my last recorded weight before COVID (was mid-Feb).
For this round, I am trying to be realistic, both my birthday and Halloween are during these 10 days. So I am trying to take off one more pound during the 10 days, while remembering to remain under 145 for my birthday which was my previous goal.

Round 130 – starting weight 144.4
10/24 144.0 Last evening, the day had passed and I had not remembered to get in any formal exercise, so I headed out for another walk, even though the majority of it was after dark. I spent the rest of the evening looking into reflective attire. :P
10/25 142.6 Wonderful surprise number for me. I need to keep yesterday’s food diary in mind. BUT, the number feels too good to be true. Planning to stay the course today (I have pre-tracked through the 27th) and will “check-in” on MFP using tomorrow’s weight for my 59th b-day.
10/26 – Happy 59th to me! 143.0 Super happy with this. Last round my goals were to be under 145.0 for my 59th birthday and it almost looked like it would not happen. Then a few nice losses have got me to 143! I have pre-tracked my birthday (Chinese – 2 cups moo goo gai pan & 1 spring roll) and current plans are to stay under calories, but who knows, I might have a mini splurge. But what? I will be prepared for an unknown morning tomorrow as the Chinese food sodium has potential to create havoc.`
10/27`- 143.0 Actually pleased with that since I had the Chinese food last night and anticipated a sodium uptick.
10/28 – 143.2 Yesterday, for the first time, I mixed in jogging into my walk dropping my avg pace to 13’30’ and the last time I did the same route it was a 14’57” pace. Nice to see measurements of improvement. As for weight, I am not concerned. This is one of the benefits to tracking, I know that there is no caloric reason for a gain today, so it is water retention, or a more realistic number, or just difference in digestive processing. Whatever is the accurate number, it will show itself with time.
10/29 – 142.4 Happy shocked. Curious whether I will still be there on the 31st. I’m not sure why I am losing so well. But I am staying under my goal calories, doing formal exercise every day (min 20 minutes and up to 80), and not eating back those calories. Maybe that’s the magic for me? Or is it just coincidence for the moment?
10/30 – 141.8 Glad I did not finish yesterday with stress eating. On short notice (ie yesterday afternoon), I am starting today with a tooth extraction under sedation. Will be an interesting day, and curious about scale impacts I may see. Weight drop again? Maybe there is some nervous energy burn going on? Today is supposed to be primarily liquids, so I am guessing calories will not be a huge issue for me today.
10/31 – 142.2 – Haha, just saw I typed 131.8 yesterday. Must be a fraudian slip. Fine with the slight up as I never expected to loose this much this round. Wondering if it is not an Advil thing. Tooth extraction went fine, so I did not forfeit other challenges I am in. I got up at 6 am yesterday and did all the exercise I needed for the remainder of those challenges before heading to the surgeon. Calories certainly were not an issue for most of yesterday since it was liquid diet day. But I was crazy hungry as the day ended. Found some cream cheese and almond butter to give me some fats. Still was under my daily calorie allotment, and went to bed hungry. Curious about today. Woke up with no pain so don’t expect to need meds. Also, hope/plan to get out and do a simple walk. Day will end with me sitting outside in the cold giving out pre-made & quarantined goodie bags to whatever trick or treaters come by. I don’t want them all jammed up at my front door, for their sake and mine. At least with the dental situation, the leftover candy should be less appealing.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

10/27 115.0 Yesterday was one of those, “I’m just not hungry” days. AF
10/28 115.5 Carrabba’s yesterday for lunch with friends. Avoided pasta but had a slice of bread with their oil/herb blend. YUM! Then had a dish of ice cream later at home and not enough water!🤷♀️ It’s all good.
10/29 117.5 Well, there’s the carb hit! Totally expected. I planned tomorrow to go through sewing stuff with my daughter and one of my sewing friends. Daughter picked the day and now she has cancelled. Not the first time and I’m frustrated and sad. AF
10/30 116.5 Headache
So sorry your daughter cancelled. Their lives are so busy, but we look so forward to having time with them. It's hard sometimes.
May I ask, what does AF mean in the sense you are using it here. I KNOW the slang meaning, but I've seen it several times in this forum and I don't think that what it means here.
So glad you asked this Utah mom. I have been thinking the same. The slang version, does not work IMO, so I doubt that's it. I am assuming a form of fasting, but the only fasting abbreviation I know is IF.
@quiltingjaine and @UTmom81 sorry you both encountered social stressors. Unfortunately, they seem more common right now. Take care of yourselves.
Heading back down to my sewing machine. Making some more masks that I donate to an animal shelter for fundraising.3 -
@UTMom81 @SModa61
When I use AF it means Alcohol Free. I'm also on the monthly Less Alcohol - One Day at a Time thread counting my no alcohol days.
Feel free to join the November thread which starts tomorrow. Pick your own goal or just drop in for inspiration and support.

10/27 - 144 - I had a lot of sodium yesterday, but I expect some of this is from my weekend snacking. Weight loss calories and plenty of water for the rest of the week!
10/28 - 143.5
10/29 - 144 - I had a very emotional day yesterday. My daughter's Covid test came back negative after an exposure at her office last week which was a huge relief, then I learned one of my client's passed away from Covid. Although I didn't eat comfort foods through the rollercoaster of emotions, I've noticed that I can retain water when I'm especially stressed.

10/31 - 151.5 - I'm confused because I expected to be up. Way up. We had dinner out, wine, and a beer. I didn't fast. I ended my eating window late. I feel a bit bloated but the scale actually flashed 149 at one point. My body is so weird. And I feel dehydrated despite drinking so much water last night (woke up with a super dry mouth - ick!) Possibly going to a car show/trunk or treat today then Fam is going out to a church trunk or treat this evening. I'm dressing up as my goddaughter witch's little black cat. It was cheap and easy and went well together. I have black leggings and shirt, just had to buy a tail and cat ears and I'll give them to her and her brother once halloween is over. Godson is going as batman so I guess I can double as catwoman with his costume? Luckily I'm not big on candy and don't seem to have a sweet tooth lately so I'm not worried about splurging there. Oh, and super excited for the full moon! First time in 76 years for this one (: Space nerd has to throw that one in. NSV: Today marks 4 years since my spinal fusion. Doc said it takes 3-5 years for the fusion to fully heal so I decided I'd call the middle, 4 years, my fully healed part. Haven't had images (don't need them since it was stable enough at 12 months for surgeon to call it good), but I'm going to go with my original plan and officially say today my surgery healing is over and I am completely fused. Finally. Happy Halloween everyone!!!

Previous Day's Comments10/24 - DNP
10/25 - Weighed yesterday but didn't have a chance to post. Didn't weigh in this morning because I kept chugging water through the night and I felt it'd be an inaccurate reading. Should be a quiet day with football today. If not, I'll make it a quiet day for myself and let the others go be crazy. Haven't been sleeping in the mornings well. Went to bed around midnight and woke up at 4 (yesterday I went to bed at about 930-10 and woke up at 1:40am). Hopefully tonight is much better
10/26 - Ribs and salty sides - holding on to a lot of water it seems. Got a nice walk in yesterday with the pup. Pouring rain today so no walk for me. Managed 14.5hr fast yesterday, hoping for 18hr today (gets me to 1230). Sleep hasn't been great so took a quick nap after my first meeting and still quite groggy. Rain doesn't help - hello perfect sleeping weather. Should be a quiet simple day.
10/27 - I'm not sure.... I feel way less bloated and heavy so really not sure. Dinner was quite heavy as I tried a new recipe - "Cowboy Stew" and ended up eating later than I'd like because it took so long to cook. Not sure what plans are today but because late dinner, I may have to either pull an OMAD or a 16hr fast. I'll see what the day brings. Ended up putting hardtop back on jeep and it wore me out so no other workout. Not likely to walk today as its spitting rain in 35 degrees out (feels like 27, brrr). I don't handle cold well - I'm the one in a jacket at 70 degrees! Glad I got my garden blanket Sunday and put it up last night - I'd have lost my peppers! Hoping BF will build my "greenhouse supports" onto my raised bed so I can properly secure the blanket. I just pinned it over the cages and wrapped excess around it to get as secure a fit as I could in hopes it'll hold over. This weekend should start to see warmer overnight temps - 50 or so degrees) which will help a lot. I've got so many peppers finally blooming, I don't want to lose them!
10/28 - Had a carb heavy lunch and dinner, but not as bloated as I expected I'd be, though feeling a slight bit of the heaviness that comes after a carby dinner. Heaviness is not as bad as usual, though. Still don't understand why I'm up but feeling/looking less bloated. Oh well. Fasted 16.5hrs yesterday and hoping for 17-18hrs today as that will put me at a late lunch. Shouldn't be too difficult to pull off (: Still rainy and cold here and I'm hating it. I moved to Texas to get warmer weather and yesterday, it was warmer in my hometown in NWIndiana than here! Not fair hahah I'm feeling like a nap may happen today, but that could also be me just waking up and still being groggy. Stayed up last night to watch World Series so my own fault. Looks like its going to be a boring day here, so may do some yoga if I have enough energy once I wake up more. Definitely going to focus on pushing more water, I've been slacking off quite a bit. Still close to goal, but not as intentional about it which is where things have the opportunity to turn ugly and then I'm fighting getting back to goal.
10/29 - I still don't know. I expected to be up because we had curry last night (homemade, but still has plenty of salt). Yesterday was indeed very boring and laid back. BF made me breakfast so ended up only going 14.5hrs. Looks like I'll be driving to San Antonio to pick up a working computer so I'll be able to fast that entire time. At least I'll be able to actually work (yay first of the month reports next week! Okay, maybe not yay, but at least I can do my job again). I had breakfast plans, too, which really sucks. Been waiting since last week for this hahaha And I have a deadline of Nov 1st for a collaboration I want to do with her. Oh well, I may just start it on my own and go from there (:
10/30 - Was in an unexpected rush this morning so I didn't get a chance to weigh in. Broke fast early stopping at a coffee shop but I needed something to get me going. Coffee doesn't give me energy but I've been drinking it so long that I think it acts as a placebo. Almost like a signal to my brain its time to wake up the brain cells and the body whether you like it or not. Having an adults only dinner tonight with the Texas fam. Not yet decided on where we are going, but it'll be good, I'm sure. Ended up going in to work yesterday and had no way to refill my water bottle so I'm very dehydrated this morning. Will definitely be pushing water once I drink this coffee. Fasted 16hrs on the dot, though.

When I use AF it means Alcohol Free. I'm also on the monthly Less Alcohol - One Day at a Time thread counting my no alcohol days.
Feel free to join the November thread which starts tomorrow. Pick your own goal or just drop in for inspiration and support.

Makes total sense. Thanks so much. I have seen AF used here as well as other MFP accountability groups. Thank you for pointing out the other group. I would be super boring. I have zero alcohol tolerance so I don't drink to begin with. But what a terrific group to have. Glad you have mentioned it here as many may not know of its existence.3 -
Hubby joined MFP two days ago and today is his first day tracking using it instead of the WW ap that he has used off and on over the years. I told him that I thought he could learn more from MFP.4

Well, I hit one goal out of 3. Aiming for 2-3 today. Happy Saturday!
10/25 - 183 - 1677 - 45 min walk
Delayed bump, methinks. Also salt. Have a lovely Sunday, all!
10/26 - 182.2 - 1627 - no walk, lots of indoor activity
Chilly morning but clear, so I’m off for a walk in a few minutes. DH made “ravioli lasagna” on Fri — good, but high cal/fat and one 8x8 pan lasts us 3 meals — last one tonight, then I’m going for less dense food for the rest of the week. I have been eating salads for lunch, though, so there’s that. 🙂 Aiming to get my weekly calorie average well below guesstimated TDEE of 1580, assuming sedentary life, and to increase my activity level. I’m thinking of buying a stationary bike — anyone have any recommendations for a decent not-too-pricey bike?
10/27 - 183.4 - 1906
I have to stop surfing news stories and eating my resultant emotions. I’m considering a moratorium on all things internet (other than my daily check in & tracking!) until about mid-November! Anyway, I ate and ate and ate last night. Popcorn. Cinnamon toast. Triscuits & cheese. All after left-over lasagna for dinner. Sigh. So I know some of this bump back up is salt and bulk. But still... I need someone to drop me at a cabin in the woods with rations for 3 meals a day for about 3 weeks to break this cycle. I’m up 53 lbs from my lowest weight 2 years ago, which was actually 10 lower than my original goal. On the plus side (so to speak), I weigh exactly what I weighed a year ago, and 30 lbs less than my heaviest. Part of me is ok with this weight since I’m healthy and active, but the rest of me is ticked off that I let it get away from me again. Ok, no hugs needed, I’m fine, just venting because I know you guys get it. It’s cold and rainy here today so I’m thinking of doing laps inside Menard’s. Have a lovely!

Boing. Zigzag. Whatever. It’s chilly and rainy this morning but supposed to clear up this afternoon and warm up a little, so I’m planning to get out to some trails I haven’t visited in a while over the next couple of weeks. DH bought trick-or-treat candies and kindly bought the ones I don’t like. ❤️ We’re setting a bowl full on the porch for a no-contact Halloween. Kinda sad about that — I enjoy seeing the kids.
10/30 - 182.6 - 1905 😢
I gave in to my urge to snack last night — low-fat no-sugar-added granola + kefir, so not too junkie, but still. I’m off to the store to stock up on nice flavored teas to sub for food in the evening. Happy Friday!
10/31 - 183 - 1548
Brrrrr - hard freeze last night and cold this morning. Good day to work on indoor projects until it warms up a bit for an afternoon walk. Blessed Samhain & Happy Halloween! 👻🍎🧙♂️🍫🧛♀️🍬🌕🎃

29 yo female
5’2” Small frame according to my wrist circumference
SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110
Previous rounds: 125.2 -> 122.8 -> 121.6 -> 121.2 -> 119.8-> 119.4 -> 117.8 ->116.6 -> 117.2 ->117.2->114.8 ->116.8 -> 116.4 -> 114.0 -> 115 -> 115.4 ->115 ->113 -> 113
Goal weight for this round: Staying around 113 or dropping to 112 would be nice.
Another goal: Embrace the scale fluctuations and not get flustered.
Previous days10/24 I was a delinquent and didn’t post on the 23rd and 24th.
10/25 114 because of Chinese food last night and eating pattern mish mashed a bit. I’m very happy with the most recent rounds results. I saw the 112 range and was thrilled. This round will be a little challenging because it’s usually where my weight spikes the highest… but we shall see. I would love to maintain around 113. It’s been a busy few days and I went into the office on Friday, so Friday morning I didn’t have a chance to pop in here. Friday was unexpectedly more busy than planned because I ended up going to a restaurant with outdoor dining for the first time since March with a couple of my coworkers. It felt so weird but normal. Then, after doing that I still had to pick up our CSA which moved to a new night. So, it’s just been busy.
Today, has been busy as well, I started by prepping a bunch of Aji Dulce peppers for the freezer. We ordered 5# of them from our csa farm to store for the winter, which took a couple hours to wash and slice them all up. Then, I ate breakfast and did a few things. Afterwards my husband and I took a walk around the neighborhood and got a little lost and walked 6 miles by the time we got home. When we got home, I heated up my takeout leftovers for lunch and then got to work on prepping 3# of mushrooms that we got form our CSA farm as well. I sauteed them in a tiny bit of butter, let them cool and popped it in freezer bags to use in the future. Then, I made our dinner: stuffed butternut squash with sausage, onion, mushroom, apple, cranberries, and sage. It’s baking in the oven now and I can’t wait to eat it! I don’t know if my husband will love it because the squash is not his favorite vegetable. So, we shall see! Have a good Sunday night everyone!
10/26 Did not post
10/27 113.8 I’ll happily take it 😊 I made lamb stew for dinner last night and it was so yummy and so simple in the pressure cooker. I didn’t get any exercise in because I just didn’t make time for it after bringing our kitty to the vet with a kitty cold. He’ll be ok but was just sneezing a lot, so they wanted to check him out. Today, I do plan on doing a 20-30 minute spin bike video during my lunch!
10/28 [113.2] Did not weigh yet (husband goes back to sleep in the living room after I wake up to get ready for work at 6AM and that area is the only level spot in the apartment. The bathroom has uneven tile and the bedroom has carpet). So, I’ll weigh later this morning when he wakes up. Last night I made a kale salad with olive oil, lemon juice, fresh corn from the cob, and chili lime seasoning, Then, pork chops with an apple cider glaze for the main dish, which was super yummy. I also roasted potatoes and Romanesco (it looks like spiky green cauliflower) to go with it and had some homemade thick apple sauce (almost like a healthier version of apple butter) on the side.
10/29 My goal today is to fit a 30 minute spin bike workout into my day somewhere. My food was solid yesterday. I had the rest of the pork chop and apple sauce for breakfast with a fried egg and toast. I recently went into Trader Joe’s for the first time since March, and tried one of their whole wheat breads that has 3g of fiber per slice. It was nice and soft and had a nice chew to it too! I think I’ve found my new whole wheat bread 😊. My snack was an apple with a peanut butter dip. Then dinner was roasted split chicken breast with hakurei turnips and homemade individual portioned scalloped potatoes. For the scalloped potatoes, each ramekin had about 200g worth of sliced potatoes and about 6 oz of evaporated milk and sprinkles of a garlic, onion and pepper combo. Making the scalloped potatoes reminded me of my grandmother, so that was a nice memory to bring up, especially with what would have been her birthday tomorrow.
10/30 Tracked everything yesterday pretty well. I got a 45 minute spin bike ride in at the end of my work day and it happened to be a free live ride on Youtube! I do need to work on moving more throughout the day. I think I need to set my watch to vibrate when it’s alerting me to move instead of just flashing at me, because lately I’ve been wearing long sleeves, so it covers up the notification. It’s CSA day and I’m so excited to see what goodies are included! Not too sure what we have planned for this weekend, so I’m looking forward to a more laid back one.
Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to everyone I have missed over the past couple of weeks!
10/31 113.0 Nice, I’m back down to where I started on the 23rd. I got a spin bike workout in this morning and will be meal planning today because we got an abundance of beautiful produce from our CSA. I’m so excited to cook with sugar pumpkin for the first time! I want to roast it and then make a soup or maybe a healthy baked goodie with it! I see a lot of vegetables in my future because we bumped up our csa share from their small one to their full sized one. The increase in volume is a pretty darn good difference from their small share. I’m not sure what is on the agenda yet for food this weekend except for eating bok choi stems as a snack because we got a head of bok choi too.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/24 180.4 Pretty proud of myself for yesterday’s self-control. I took my grand baby to a little mountain town fairly close to us yesterday after work for a walk on the greenway. While the greenway is wonderful, as most little mountain towns are this one is full of fudge, candy, and ice cream. I had none! Then when trying to find a place to eat, I left one place because there was literally nothing but junk food (fried stuff or high calorie options) on the menu and went to a place where I could get a better choice. (It was just along our walk, so no one noticed.) This is the kind of self-control it takes for me to be successful, and my body really wanted the ice cream or rich dessert. I just have to say no to this stuff right now. And I did!
10/25 179.2 Yes! Into a new decade in the right direction for a change!
10/26 180.6 It’s OK. It had been straight down for a week, so it was time for a blip up. Weight loss isn’t linear, and I know that. I pulled a meal out of the freezer for early dinner last night before a Halloween event. It was not one that I had carefully calorie/content controlled, so that is probably to blame, too. I was careful with portion control and did really well not being overwhelmed by the Halloween candy all around at the event. I also walked a ton because the event was “Boo at the Zoo,” so I pushed a baby stroller all over the place at the zoo.
10/27 180.2 Good day yesterday. Stayed within calories and got in a walk. Headed back down, so that’s good.
10/28 179.6 Hoping to stay in this decade for a bit now. I was afraid our meal out last night might interfere with getting back down into the 170s, but I walked stairs (lots of them) at work yesterday and got in two walks, then i figured out how to make my favorite meal at this restaurant fit into the day and asked them to leave off the creamy sauce. It was still yummy. Hubby likes to go here a lot, especially while the weather is still nice--they have such a nice outdoor space. I'm glad I found a solution that doesn't undo my hard work. Gotta keep at it though in hopes of not going back up to that other number.
10/29 179.6 Weather is terrible here with rain and wind from the remnants of the hurricane; had to do all exercise inside yesterday and today doesn’t look much better. Still down 2 lbs from the end of the last round, so I’ll take it. I was really craving protein snacks after dinner last night. Had to settle for cheese because I didn’t have much else in the fridge. Gotta fix that. Oh, I started a YouTube adventure yesterday while on my exercise bike. Will be watching a hiker named Dixie thru hike the Continental Divide Trail. I’ve watched some of her AT and PCT hike videos before and she’s fun to watch. I’ll only allow myself to watch while on my bike, so it should last me a while. I know more bad weather is coming, so I’m hoping this motivates me to ride more often.
10/30 180.2 Gave into cravings yesterday, so I was expecting this. Halloween is tomorrow, so this is going to be hard. Gotta do what i can to limit the damage.
10/31 180.2 An emotional day both at work and on a personal level. Work, in this pandemic, is just so…not what it used to be when I LOVED my job. I was ready to quit yesterday, but of course, I cannot. Then an old friend whose kids used to play with mine when they were young lost her bright, talented, mid-20s daughter to cancer—melanoma that wasn’t caught until it had spread to her liver. Tragic! Just went with the flow on food yesterday, but did manage portions, so all seems ok on that front this morning. Happy Halloween everyone!

I'm so sorry to hear all of that. These are such challenging times and when families get hit with even more tragedy it's that much more difficult. You'll be in my thoughts. If I recall, you're a teacher right? I give you so much credit right now because everything is so uncertain and school systems are in shambles with trying to do what they can for the kids. Just know, you are still helping those kids even if you feel like you're at your wits end with it all. Good luck with it all!4 -
