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) 😊
10/31: 281.4 (+2) Probably water retention.☹️ I've only got two more days to lose this regain weight before this round is over. 😳

@UTMom81 AF = alcohol free Yesterday was not. Daughter did show up as we were eating lunch and stayed until I called an end to the day. Several hours on concrete floor were killing my back. I hope they come back on Tuesday. Friend is furloughed by airline and daughter is a teacher, teaching from home. Today schools were closed for Nevada day. Public schools are closed Tuesday because some are polling places. I feel we got a lot accomplished. Looking forward to doing more.2

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.

10/24 115.5 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

10/27 115.0 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
10/31 116.5 Yesterday my daughter and friend came and helped me go through boxes in the garage. If I would get busy sewing, I would never have to BUY clothes again! I’m donating most of my quilting fabric to a group that makes charity quilts. Today is oven cleaning day.4 -

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.
10/31 …..208.4.….. Actually happy to see that after Chinese takeout from out of town my friend brought over.

Month/Day: Weight / Comment

10/25: DNW
10/26: 212.2 / I had a fantastic weekend away at some friend’s lake cabin. I can’t believe I am only one pound up from the day we left. Probably due to a couple scenic hikes in beautiful southern Illinois.
I had a sense of renewed dedication this morning to some ongoing goals I have. They have been neglected in recent weeks. I need to make room for some work in those areas. Happy Monday everyone!
10/27: 211.2 / Back to work!
10/28: 209.6 / purging water.
10/29: 211.2
10/30: 209.6 / I am like a puffer fish. Today at the office we are having a fish fry at lunch. I am furnishing the fish, everyone bringing sides. Expect tomorrow’s number to puff up again! 😊
10/31: 209.2 / lunch was awesome, but way over a reasonable level of calories… which is why I was not hungry for supper. Fortunately DW was at the same lunch so suppertime expectations were on par with each other.
This morning I did a little brush clearing and reach max heart rate several times.

🎃🕸🕷🎃🕷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.)

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.

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.

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 Halloween party for the kids and the other family in our pod. I’ve got a lot of baking to do today for it!
10/31 - 144.0 - Ok, that’s more reasonable. Still a great number! I’ve eaten a lot today - much more calories and sugar than I’m currently used to....but honestly not a massive amount. Maybe a few hundred calories over maintenance (had to estimate since I’m not going to weigh food at a party!) It was a great backyard party and the kids had a ton of fun. I’m pretty happy that I can celebrate Halloween with my kids without feeling bad or like I’ve undone all the progress I’ve made. We’ll see what the scale says in the morning.

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

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!
11/01 218.6 Walked 4 miles, tracked (high net carbs blame it on the chili, piece of cornbread and pumpkin cookies … I stayed away from the candy), 3 glasses of wine. Fully expected to be up.3 -
I don’t know if this is okay or not! But I want to change my weight goal for the round! I don’t want to make it about the number. And also since my goal is to lose 10 lbs. by next October, I think that is okay? So I am going to put a range in there instead. I hope that is okay!
My main goal is not to be elated or devastated by the scale. It has been a very long, emotionally painful journey with my weight, all of my life. I want so badly to escape my food addiction. I never want to be 338lbs. again but I know it could very well happen. I don’t want to be 115lbs. again because at that weight I was losing my hair and I was sick all of the time and exercising four hours a day, eating less than 800 calories. I just want moderation!
This daily weigh-in has been a good discipline. Hard to get too excited or upset over the scale when one sees how much fluctuation happens regardless of my caloric intake and exercise.
I limit myself to a manageable 3.5 mile run each day, a 20 min morning workout and a 10 minute bedtime workout. And I eat 1,200 6 days a week and 3,600 one day a week. (My high-protein day). No added sugar. No meat.

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.

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.
11/1 – 142.8 totally deserved that. Let’s see what tomorrow brings

🟢10/25 169.4 😳 - Outback Steakhouse delivered. Delicious & worth the temporary gain. I got this!

I got this!
🟢10/27 168.8 😐 - I’ll take it. I need to reign in my food choices & get back to my activity. There’s still time to reach my R130 goal if I put my mind to it. I got this!
🟢10/28 169.0 🤨 - not cool. Ate good but no activity. #goals
🟢10/29 169.4 😫 - ok new goal for R130: get back to starting weight. Good news- I know what I need to do; Bad news- I’m not doing it. I got this!
🔴10/30 DNW - scale died
