11/14: 219.6 (-1.0)/28.8 (-0.3). I am going to do some strength training today, even if it means using a crappy machine, body weight exercises, and some rubber bands. It's time. Being here is great, but exercise is the other main ingredient in my overall health and fitness. Time to step it up.

Happy Saturday everybody! It is a gorgeous day here in New Orleans and I hope wherever you are, you are also making the best of it.
Goals for this round:
1. Eat more. Get that third meal/large snack into my fasting period, and try to get more protein and healthy fat.
2. Try to move around every hour. Stretch and try to improve back pain before meeting with PCP in December.

11/13 Weight 211, FBG 94.
11/14 Weight 210.9, FBG 105. Yesterday for dinner I made butternut squash lasagna with bechamel sauce, and a side of plain collard greens, and didn't eat until 7:30. I had a very moderate amount of lasagna, but it seems to be reflected in my sugar number. Oh well, it was delicious but way too much work. I'll never make it again.

11/13: 285.4 (-4.2) ⬇️ Finally a good loss! 😊 Lowered the amount of daily calorie limit that mfp had given me from 1,520 to 1,300. I found that eating mostly meat and veggies (heavier on the veggies) and little amounts of other foods allows me to start losing more weight. Hopefully, changing my calorie intake and adding walking and exercise workouts will help me continue to lose the excess weight. This is a great way to start this new round! 😃

I'm having a lot of salt right now, I will have salty food tomorrow which means my true weight will only become visible in the last 4 days of the round.4 -
I would like to join Round 132.
I weigh on two scales. The heavier weight is on a scale that gets moved around and weigh on a wooden floor the lighter weight is on a scale that is not moved and is on a level linoleum floor. Not sure which scale is the most accurate but the scale that weighs me lighter is more consistent.
SW: 223.4 lbs. on March 8, 2020
GW: 126 lbs. Really would just like to get to a 21%BF. Scale number is secondary.

I joined a medically supervised weight loss program on October of 2019 but had a lot of issues to resolve before I could focus on weight loss. Dropped out for several months to resolve issues holding me back. Then started up again in February of 2020. Weight loss program was cancelled in March 2020.
When I go through periods of stress I usually buy a coat or jacket. Maybe for protection. When Covid hit and places closed down, decided a strong body was the best protection so began dumb bell exercises at home. Began walking once the snow melted. When gyms re-opened I started lifting heavier weights. Will never be very strong compared to others but I will be stronger than when I started and have a new passion. Now places are on the verge of closing down here. Am looking into a good set of resistance bands to be able to work out at home. Not sure that I want to walk outside but definitely will be shoveling snow as I do every year.8 -
Maybe onederland by the end of these 10 days. Also 30 lbs down.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 132 (round 64 for me ) I'm in for another round – I still really need the accountability and stability! Yet again, thank you @GrandmaJackie a brilliant champion in these unprecedented & unsettled times, for continuing to set 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 (again) will be to get back into 132s. 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

11/13 - 132.8 - 9.87 miles walked yesterday, I incorporated the second run of C 2 5K, it was a repeat of Tuesdays, today should be a rest day, but I'd rather rest at the weekend so I'll do third training today – I feel OK, I can cope with two days on the trot ! (No pun intended!) 695 calories in credit.
11/14 – 132.8 - 9.82 miles walked yesterday including day 3 of C 2 5K so that's week 1 completed. Hips and knees are a little sore, but rest day today so I hope to manage my usual walk – weather permitting!! I did get out and do 5.5 miles first thing before the rain arrived, hope to be able to do another 3 or 4 later on if there is a dry window. 585 calories in credit.
11/15 – 133.4 – 10.46 miles walked yesterday
found my 5K route, yesterday afternoon walked it in 48 mins, so got a benchmark for it now. 525 calories in credit.

My goal for 2020 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:

🔹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 (3 AF days per week; ~12 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

Next overall goal is to get to 137.6, which is what I weighed 10/2/19. I think these smaller attainable goals are really helping.
Continuing with this plan for round 132: continue with daily tracking, staying under goal calories, and minimum of 20 min formal exercise/day (all from UAC challenge). I am also trying to do 90 minutes of planks, and 24 hours of formal exercise this November (24 hour and 60 minute plank challenges).
Previous goals: get under 150; get under 145 for my birthday (10/26); get to pre-COVID weight 142.4, get under 140 before thanksgiving.

Exercise averages out the same and I am using the same goal calories to stay under. The only ideas I am having is that could I somehow be changing my base metabolism? I’m not sure how that works. Anyhow, I’ll take it while I can and I keep bracing myself for a plateau or a take back from my losses.
11/14 – 139.2 Given I had no ups the whole last round, I am almost relieved to see this. All good!
11/15 – 139.0 Got in another walk yesterday. Started by walking the route I mentioned last round, the night that I walked and jogged, so I now know its mileage correctly and have updated my other file where I keep all my exercise for the month. I then continued on for two more loops within my neighborhood (see below). Pace was not great, but I managed to multitask and caught up with my parents on the phone. I’ll just consider it more of a distance day. Next experiment is to figure out the difference in milage if I walk the inner sidewalk vs the outer sidewalk in the "loop". Yesterday was inner and the milage was less than I recalled from when I measured a couple years ago, so curious if the "old" number is the outer sidewalk.

11/15 – 114.2 Good morning everyone! Friday was a really busy day for me and yesterday I was exhausted because I woke up at 2 AM and couldn’t fall back to sleep, so I was delirious for most of the day. This past week I’ve also felt bloated and I’m just waiting for my friend to arrive soon. My stomach was being weird and not always working the way I wanted it to because of the hormone fluctuations despite taking daily magnesium. I have been able to stay on the right track with food for the most part. We’ve been getting lots of salad greens with our CSA, so I am able to have a huge salad with dinner each night.
Yesterday morning I made buttermilk pancakes from scratch and used white whole wheat flour instead of AP flour. They came out yummy and weren’t bad calorically either. Lunch was whole wheat pasta with cheese and because I was so tired by dinner I just had a large salad and then a cup of cottage cheese (26 g protein) with frozen berries and canned pineapple. Today, breakfast might be French toast with sauteed apples, I’m not sure about lunch and dinner will be pork tenderloin with bbq sauce or something more fall-themed. I’m also thinking about making scalloped potatoes and roasted Romanesco to go with the pork.
Turkey trot progress: My husband and I did end up going for a walk yesterday clocking in at 4ish miles and my feet feel good today afterwards. I might try adding in a couple of jogs if I go for a walk by myself this week. My official plan for the actual turkey trot is to go for at least a 3.2 mile walk or jog Thanksgiving morning before we head to my in-law's house.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/13 181.0 I was afraid the Prednisone might have negated the good I did yesterday. So far it hasn't. Ate well on plan yesterday. I'm finding the more of just natural "whole foods" are a part of my day, the better off I am.
11/14 180.0 The extra movement from training for the Turkey Trot is really helping move me in the right direction and also to change my mindset. Thank you to those of you who are participating with me. I needed some camaraderie in this. Food choices were on point yesterday. Now to hold that trend for the weekend.
11/15 180.4 This must be sore muscles from yesterday’s push to 5K because I ate well within range. Probably didn’t drink enough water after though, so that could play in too. I was really hoping it would be into the 170s, but maybe tomorrow. Need to meal plan today and get to the grocery store and also get in another walk. I can’t tell you how much better I’m feeling now that I am active every day again. I think I’m working through (and past) some of the 2020 depression that made me into a couch potato.

For anyone who is new, there are some of us here working towards a virtual Turkey Trot where you set your own goal and work toward it. We just track what we've done each day and progress toward our goal. The end date for the Turkey Trot is end of November (since not all of us are Americans). If you wish to join us, here is our "logo." It just helps us find each other in the thread. You can copy/save the pic to your desktop or phone and then insert it in your post like any other picture. I think we will do a "Kick 2020 to the Curb" one at the end of the year as well. As the logo says, you can run, walk, dance, treadmill--whatever you want to set a goal for.
11/13 Got in two walks at just normal pace. I had one knee which was really bothering me, so I didn't push the pace.
11/14 Did 1.74 mi in 30:28 but I had the dog with me. She slows me down. Then got on my exercise bike last night before bed for 7.56 miles in 32:24.Hoping to look for a 5K path at a park this morning. Will be pushing the stroller, but I can still measure. I know how I can do it in my neighborhood, but it would be fun to go elsewhere for the real deal.
11/15 Did my first 5K in a while yesterday. (Sorry the pic I posted last night was so HUGE. Won't be doing that again.) Figured out a nice route by the lake and really pushed it. My time was 51:22 with an average pace of 16:33, so I’m really pretty pleased with that. I was alone, so I was able to really get into it and it felt fantastic!9 -
Second round for me on this thread. Lost two pounds the first pass and hope to continue the trend. 10 days is perfect because at the end of the round, my eldest returns from California for a Thanksgiving visit and I’d like to show some significant progress going into the holiday. Working toward a Tough turkey trot challenge with my sister and sister-in-law for later in the month, so going to switch up riding to walking/jogging.

Day/Weight/Comment for previous day
11/13 187.3 / A nice start right out the gate for little to no effort on my part. Logged food and water, but ate above my target since I was home all day working on a project.
11/14 186.5 / No rain! Finally able to take the bike out of the garage for a nice ride and mow the lawn. Food was a bit all over the place as riding pushed my appetite upward, but surprisingly, I was under 2,500 calories for the day (1,500 below my adjusted target).
11/15 185.3 / Another ride and I walked the 5k (52:06). Logged food/drink and was at deficit. Tighter on the food; though I did enjoy a bit of ice cream with cashews in the evening. Did a bit of strength training with dumbbells (not much, but it’s a start). I’m happy with the loss, but I’m still a hair above my lowest recorded weight (185.1 on 10/11) since I started this in January. Need to stay focused so I can push past it and make some progress toward a ‘healthy’ weight of 181 by Thanksgiving. Not sure I can keep this pace up, but it’ll be fun trying!

11/13-123.4 When I first lost weight last year, these 10 day challenges were the source of my success. I am committing to weigh everyday and complete my food diary daily. Starting on the weekend will be challenging, compounded if restrictions start up again. Planning pickleball indoors today, too cold for outside. Bad start missing my body pump class this morning, will try to do this afternoon. Good Luck everyone, and stay healthy.
11/14- 125.4- Knew this would happen
Went out to lunch with my wonderful friends and pickleball buddies, had the most delicious salad: Wilted Kale with roasted butternut squash, cashews, lemon Tahini dressing. Totally awesome! Had to guess the calorie, and Ham sure was full of sodium. Usually takes me several days to equalize. Oh I forgot a Bloody Mary too! I knew too expect this, but still hate going backwards. Bad migraine this morning waiting for medicine to kick in then hope to do Body Pump and stretching and some kind of Trot.
11/15- 125.4 I know, I know, I know it will take 3-4 days to equalize my bloat from lunch Friday but I does play with your mind. Hubby wanted to grab takeout last night, but I decided against it because did not want to bloat even more. Thanks to the Turkey Trot Challenge I did do a over 4 mile walk- we lost our dog in September who inspired me to walk everyday, so miss her but felt great to be outside again walking. Ate above my calories yesterday, wanted to grab a leftover halloween candy for dessert but my husband and daughter had raided supply and left me with only 10000 mini bars yuck- still ate 6- So should be relieved I stayed the same weight and leftover halloween many no longer a problem.

Good morning everybody and happy Sunday. It's 9 o'clock and I haven't even made tea yet. I plan to be LAZY today and should you have that option, I encourage you also to find your book and knitting and hunker down in the comfiest spot you've got. But also go for a walk because that feels nice.
Goals for this round:
1. Eat more. Get that third meal/large snack into my fasting period, and try to get more protein and healthy fat.
2. Try to move around every hour. Stretch and try to improve back pain before meeting with PCP in December.

11/14 Weight 210.9, FBG 105.
11/15 Weight 210.1, FBG 99 I met a lot of goals yesterday. I got in 3 meals in the fasting period. I ate from these two recipes:
Zucchini cottage cheese "gratin" https://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/16/health/nutrition/16recipehealth.html
Lasagna w/ roasted squash and bechamel: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/12899-lasagna-with-roasted-kabocha-squash-and-bechamel?action=click&module=RecipeBox&pgType=recipebox-page®ion=all&rank=26
They were both delicious.
I also had a big victory this morning. My BMI went from obese to overweight. And if I continue to do well, then in 2 weeks when I meet with my doctor in person, I'm going to ask him to take it off my medical record. I've still got 40 pounds to go minimum, and a terrifying waist circumference, but I'm making huge progress and I'm really happy.

Yesterday was a good day all around — low calories, no snacks, and a nice 3.5 mile walk along the river and hit my first Turkey Trot goal. I’m aiming for 4 miles today. I’m feeling energized! 🏃🏽♀️
11/14 - 182.8 - 1118
Yesterday was fine overall. I didn’t do my long walk but did several shorties, though I’m not counting them toward my Turkey Trot goals. Planning at least 4 miles today on my favorite stretch of the Rivergreenway. When I was there Thursday, among other treats I saw an old sycamore FULL of birds (couldn’t see what they were with the sun in my eyes) and a gorgeous big abandoned hornets’ nest suspended from a branch and visible now that the leaves have fallen. I’m taking my camera today!
Enjoy your Saturday. Be safe!
11/15 - 182.6 — 1157
More short walks yesterday, probably a couple of miles worth. I won’t be out today — rain and very high winds. I have plenty to do inside, so all good. Have a lovely Sunday, all!

@SheilaBoneham congrats on meeting your first goal! You are rocking this!!!
I noticed your goal to walk 100 miles by the end of the year. I just counted the days and I think I can do that even if the weather gets yucky some of the time, especially if we do a “Kick 2020 to the Curb” event too.
@UTMom81 Good! Let’s urge each other on! I won’t get any mileage today — you should hear the wind! — but I’m still going to aim for the 100 miles over the next month and a half!6 -
Weight 1/1/20: 225

Round 132 BW: 211.4
ONE Goal - track food and calories faithfully. Stop pretending that handful of peanuts or small bag of chips or 6 tootsie rolls don't matter. I'm a snacker and I've realized that's not going to change. What can change is my prep for snacking. Will spend this weekend making healthy/lo-cal things to snack on to replace chips, cookies, peanuts, etc. I love fruit but sometimes I need the crunch and chew that fruit doesn't provide.
Count days track food and stay under calories:
