11/18 - 152.8 - Up up and away. Not sure if its lack of water (I'm not tracking my tea, though it is mostly water) or a heavy dinner (wasn't hungry, just peckish enough to eat a bit, but it was heavy) or my congestion meds. Throat a little better today, still a little achy and sore. My nose..... congested. Can still breathe through it but not while breathing heavily. All good, though. A bit of congestion is more tolerable than an achy throat that makes it difficult to swallow. Taken allergy meds 2 days in a row and my congestion meds to seem to help for a short bit. Too bad I found out yesterday I can only have them when I eat. Took with my fast-breaking honey tea and ended up running to grab some food, though not hungry, to help settle it. So I'm waiting until I break my fast to take them again today. Ended up a zombie this morning so after my morning meeting, I accidentally crashed. I was so tired I couldn't even keep my eyes open and could barely speak coherently. Slept from 7-10 on accident when BF woke me up finally. Luckily, I'm at a standstill at work until I get my feedback and so I can't do anything but sit and wait for that email. I feel loads better having gotten that extra rest. Hoping to be back on track Friday for the Turkey Trot!

Previous Day's Comments11/13 - Dropping down. TOM is settling out finally and I'm feeling less bloated and heavy from it. THANKFULLY. That was miserable. Today I will be cleaning the bedroom in preparation for the reorganization and set up of the new bed. Not sure when BF will return. Either tomorrow or Sunday but I'd rather have it ready than not at all. Today, if the rain allows, I'll set up my garden with the new trellis. I've gotten spinach this week, too. I've planted one, but I bought a second small plant and want to plant that today before the worst of the rain. Hoping it holds off long enough for me to get out there after I've finished my coffee. Nothing terribly exciting going on.
11/14 - I don't know. Heavy dinner? There was a slice of pizza involved. I don't know otherwise. Met my minimum water goal and if you count my evening tea, I met my 75oz goal. Fasting has been going well since that day I was insatiably hungry. Between 16 and 17hrs daily. BF is coming home today, he's already on the road at this time. Its about 8-8.5hr drive so he'll be here for dinner. The pup will be very happy, as will I.
11/15 - DNP
11/16 - Yesterday was not good. I only got about 2 or 3 hours of good sleep. Woke up shivering for about 2 hours straight before falling asleep for only another hour. I didn't feel cold, but my body wouldn't stop shivering. Not quite sure what that was. Didn't weigh and didn't have the energy to get off couch to get my laptop to post. I just wanted to curl up and watch my football uninterrupted. Ended up making salmon last night for dinner with Fam, though, since we provided the fish and scallops. BF hadn't had a home cooked meal in a week so I wasn't going to allow him to cook, either. Then the dog decided to wake me up an hour early this morning and I'm quite cranky. I'm still feeling lack of sleep from yesterday. Feeling bloated, especially in the lower belly. Up near ribcage seems normal, which is an odd type of bloat for me. Usually my entire abdomen feels fluffy/squishy. Probably due to not fasting long at all - BF made us breakfast since it was his first morning home. Today, I want to hit 16hrs if possible. Wish I didn't have work so I could nap, I need it.
11/17 - Up and down up and down. Think its because I got a little more water in? Also took my allergy meds and some mucus/congestion relief, not sure how much an impact that made. Need to take some again, I'm still not feeling great in my sinuses. Causing a dull chronic headache all day yesterday and seems to be looking like that again today. I can breathe through my nose fine and my throat is a little less sore (less postnasal drainage, I'm guessing) but still not 100% better. I feel so sleepy but can't tell if that's from the constant slight headache and my body wanting to sleep all this off or what. Didn't get shivers last night, thankfully, so slightly more restful sleep. Only fasted 15.25hrs yesterday as BF made breakfast again for me (usually he only makes for himself so I think its just a matter of him being home and able to cook again he's making mini-feasts in the morning for us. Dinner was chili and I added some rice for the filling factor- I was STUFFED! Water wasn't great, didn't quite meet goal but I also had a couple large mugs of tea I didn't track. Bought some more tea that I think will soothe my throat better and some other teas for that caffeine punch. Already have the sinus headache, no need to intensify it with slight caffeine withdrawals (usually not bad for me if I'm feeling well, but feeling unwell always makes it feel worse). Taking it easy today - think we are working on the VW bug to get it road-ready before the weekend when BF will be gone Friday and then we all unload Saturday. Hopefully I'll feel better then by taking a few down days.

11/18 - As I typed this, I found out we are setting up the bedroom with the new bedframe so I'll be getting a little workout from that, then. Don't want to do too much since I'm still planning my 5k for Friday and don't want to be overly sore.

@deepwoodslady I understand how all of these things can affect you. You know what you need to do and I have to admit, when I saw your restaurants are closing, I thought that is an excellent time to get a handle on what you are eating. I don’t keep junk food in the house because no one needs it. If DH buys something, he puts it out of my sight. And during lockdown I did all of the cooking so we ate what I made. You can do this and get to your more healthy self!❤️❤️3

So I have a question...I also posted this in the Motivation and Support section...but I have been having success here...my moods not so dependent on the scale...but does anyone get weighed less frequently?
Does that help or hurt?
Here is what I posted.
So here is my deal. January 1, 2014 I was 338lbs. Slowly I lost the weight...WW for the first 80lbs. and then this for the rest. My goal was 128lbs. I got to that. But then my goal was 125lbs. Got to that. Then my goal was 122lbs. You can see where this is headed. Got down to 115lbs. and was losing my hair, fingernails brittle, exercising 3 hours a day, eating 800 calories a day. So I got some help. I gained some back. Today I am 134.5 (49 years old, 5ft. 4in.) I limit myself to 3.5 mile run daily, morning aerobics for 20 minutes, bed time routine for 10min. I want to get down to 125 again. BUT I DON’T want the scale to control my mood. I am having good success in the Just Give Me 10 Days thread on MFP but I wonder...I weigh in every day...should I try scaling that back? Weigh in on the 1st and 15th of the month maybe? Does anyone else feel like they are a prisoner of the scale?4 -
@kalchthaleri Try weighing less often and see if it works for you. Since I figured out my body’s pattern of taking 2-3 days to reflect the outcome of my eating, I don’t stress over the number but I am a daily weigher and have been for decades.4

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.

11/17 116.5 AF last night. Got my flu shot yesterday and my arm hurts and I have a headache. Not sure if h/a is from the shot.
11/18 116.0 This will go up, I wanted Mexican last night and have leftovers. Today is DH’s birthday and along with his leftovers, he’s going to lunch with our friend.5 -

It is scary. I am not yet old enough for SS. I have to rely on monthly payments from the sale (pray they pay consistently!) and my savings for a few years. However, I've made some pretty good choices (I believe) over the years so I think I will be okay.
Thanks so much for staying the course with me!
Retirement decision:
Have you had enough? (Yep stress was making me unhealthy and I was not interested in the job any more)
Do you have enough? (Yep my saving was good)
Do you have something else you want to do? (Yes ... travel, garden, read, focus on weight loss, exercise, learn spanish, fish, spend more time with my family, etc etc)
Good luck with your decisions! I hope that you are able to really enjoy the years to come as well as help your son find independence.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

@kalchthaleri, I agree with @quiltingjaine you could try weighing less, maybe once a week and see how you do with that and go from there.
I have lost will over a 100 lbs and found that for me I like weighing every day shortly after waking up. I know everyday can be a problem for some people. I've learned that our bodies change on a daily basis and have excepted this fact, so it doesn't bother me. I have been weighing myself this weigh for years now.
Best wishing on finding what works for you. 😄7 -
@Lilylady3k, @quiltingjaine, @SheilaBoneham, @AR10at50, @Jaccimc63, @CamandJarvis and all the other well-wishers. Thanks so much for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. What a boost of confidence all your messages bring to me! I'm so glad we've all become such good friends.7

JGM10D Round 132🦃🐿🦃🐿🦃🐿🦃
🦃 NOVEMBER 🦃
🦃🐿🦃🐿🦃🐿🦃
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!😷
November focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2020 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 132- 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.

That is one of my favorite teas when I have a sore throat!6 -

SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110 but also happy with where I’m at right now.
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-> 113.8 ->114.6
Goal weight for this round: Maintaining around 113 or dropping to 112 would be nice.
Another goal: Embrace the scale fluctuations and not get flustered.
Previous days11/18 – 114 Today was a wash for food because I woke up at 3 am and could not fall back to sleep. So by 7 I was starving and ate What I planned on having at 10:30 or 11ish. I then proceeded to have a good amount of chocolate and made myself a cup of tea. I don’t normally have caffeine but I really needed it because I was sleepy and stressed. The 2 bright sides are that I used the spin bike for 45 minutes and had an apple after my chicken finger and frozen fries. I’m just dreading trying to sleep tonight because even a little bit of caffeine messes with my sleep. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to fight through the sleepiness tomorrow and just go to bed early tomorrow night and reset my sleep schedule. My sleep has been really weird the past week and I have been waking up at like 3 or 4 in the morning wide awake. I don’t know what’s going on with my body but I know it’s weird. Anyways, have a good night!

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 yesterday. 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 for 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 4.5 miles and my feet feel good today afterwards. I might try adding in a couple jogs if I go for a walk by myself this week. My official plan for the actually turkey trot is to go for at least a 3.2 miles walk or jog Thanksgiving morning before we head to my in-laws house.
11/16 - Did not post
11/17 – Might try to weigh later this morning. Starting in January it will be easier to weigh every morning because my husband will be leaving for his clinical fieldwork each day versus trying to go back to sleep where I normally weigh myself. Food was good yesterday, I indulged my chocolate craving and made a chocolate protein cake plus a salad for breakfast, an apple for a snack and whole wheat pasta with veggies simmered in sauce with Italian sausage. I used carrots, peppers, onions, and spinach for veggies. The awesome part of it was that my husband really enjoyed it! I loved it too, but he normally doesn’t like sausage…so I was thrilled when he said it was yummy! I managed to get a spin bike workout in during lunch yesterday too!
I'm also trying to figure out some self care techniques because as I really get into my role at work I need to learn how to not "take home" the patients problems. I need to just shut off at night. I was talking with the social worker I work with and she had helpful advice...So my goal this round is to figure out what I want as a self-care routine to be.7 -
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.

Day/Weight/Comment
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. Ate above my calories yesterday, wanted to grab a leftover halloween can and 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.
11/16
11/17 125.2- Thrown off course Sunday and Monday- My father-in- passed away. Thanks goodness peacefully at home He did not have Covid but because of Covid we can not travel to the funeral.
11/18-124.8 Thank you for your prayers and condolences.

I’m a bit late to this challenge but there’s no time like the present to refocus and try (again) to get rid of my excess lbs. I’ve been in these challenges before and I know they work as a motivator. Slow and steady will be my mantra.
