(can anyone help - I use the notes on my phone, Redmi 6, to make my posts and copy and paste daily. I can't paste the pic into the page although it shows nicely in my Notes app. To get it to show up I had to edit on my work PC!)
You should be able to save the image to your phone just like any other picture, then use the "attach image" button in the toolbar to put it in your post. On my iPhone, it's the last icon on the right in the edit toolbar just above where you type your post. If you aren't able to do that, you can always just make a separate paragraph in your post to help us see it. Make the title of it bold or all caps or something. The image isn't required for you to do this with us. Glad you are joining us!5 -

Goal for round 133 will be little different from the proceeding because it has some more challenging days in it; Thanksgiving, day after leftovers, 2 travel days. We are traveling but not “for” Thanksgiving. We need to check on a costly property repair and trying to squeeze the travel between two holiday quarantines. In the process, I have pre-tracked until Thanksgiving (current quarantine), and then pre-tracked and purchased all non-perishables for 4 days to start return quarantine, during which I’ll arrange for grocery delivery and post travel COVID testing on day 4 or 5. Then I’ll have two days to shop outside the house before quarantining again so I can see my grandson a little for his first Xmas. That’s the plan but we know is 2020, anything can change. So anyhow….. goal is to complete round 133 with no gain (ie staying at 137.2, or below).
On another note, I am entering an official virtual 5K, the Feaster Five. So I have to walk/run, document and then submit my time sometime this week. I am currently eyeing Tuesday evening.
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, get to 137.6 (weight on 10/2/19).

Round 133 – starting weight 137.2
11/23 – 137.2 Seems like the number is real (ie 3 out of 4 days in a row). Today is an indoor exercise day since, out my window, it looks like Noah should be building another ark. At least the cats are not demanding their walk.
11/24 – 136.8 Knee and elbows are acting up. I am wondering if my zealous approach towards the 5K and planking is faster than those joints can handle. Plan is/was to walk/jog the Feaster Five virtual 5K this evening. We’ll see how the knees are feeling. I do have other days to accomplish this, but am really hoping that it works out today.
11/25 – 137.8 Ouch, big up. I assume it is a temporary false gain since I have been 137.4 for past 5 days. I would try and blame the macros of last night’s dinner, but I made that same dinner last week for the first time and had a loss the day after. The only other anomaly yesterday was that I completed the Feaster Five Virtual 5K that I entered over the weekend. That was more running than I have done in years. As I mentioned in my 5K blurb last night, I had not run that much since being on the boys track team in 1977 when there was no girls team. I am wondering if that exertion is causing some fluid retention. Either way, it will work out. On another note, working on travel scale correlation in prep for next week and I know it can be wonky. (Home: 137.8 Travel 137.8 – shocking it matched THIS time).
11/26 – 137.0 Thanksgiving – Because I am delivering a separate whole T-day meal to my parents, the majority of my cooking (for both our and their meals) was yesterday. Did my best to account for all those “spoon licks”. What got tracked implies I ate low, but my lack of hunger makes me think I somehow neglected to track things. I just don’t know what. Today, my approach is to eat thoughtfully. Tracking of today’s food is close to impossible with any accuracy, but will see how it goes. I guess I could track portions of “generic” value and accept that that is better than not tracking at all. Other option is to go the “single” dinner plate method ie no weighing, no measuring, but only one plate like one would receive in a restaurant. (Home: 137.0 Travel: 136.2 – maybe I won’t try to pack it…..)
11/27 – 137.4 Wow! What a gift. Something more to be thankful for. The route I went with for yesterday is I pre-tracked quantities, 5 chips, dip, 1 oz salami, 4 oz turkey, ½ cup of each side except ¼ cup of the cranberry sauce. One slice pie, 2 TB whipped cream and my standard coffee. I evaluated and selected what I thought were best matches from the database. The amount was actually perfect! I was going to be under 2000 for the day, with that plan. Then, my son surprised us with cocktails and given there were so few of us to support his effort, I chose to have one – 280 more calories added to the tracker. Had stayed under 1340 calories a day (not net, but consumed) since 10/1/20, and was over by 800+ yesterday. The +.4 was totally worth finally sharing a celebratory day with DH, DS, DD, SIL, DGS. Wish it could have been the regular crowd, and wish my parents felt safe enough to join up. Here’s to t-day 2021. Today’s plan, cautious eating of leftovers, try to fit in a real walk, pack for poorly timed essential travel tomorrow, clean up from t-day and clean house in preparation of son moving in to take care of cats while we are away. Lots to do. Gave up on the travel scale. There are only 3 days I will not have access to a scale, so I am just going to focus on and trust my tracking.
11/28 – 136.2 Happy surprise. Yesterday, I did have leftovers but I pre-tracked the portions throughout the day; pie for breakfast; green casserole and mashed pots for lunch; turkey, gravy, stuffing and more mashed for dinner. Did a walk by pushing my cats in their stroller and cleaned & packed all day. Today is a unique challenge. Flight travel day not FOR Thanksgiving but despite T-day. Need to get to our property that is undergoing major repairs. I have not been there since April. Got my airport/plane safety plan in place. Goal is to stay healthy and keep everyone else healthy as well.
11/29 – DNW - Yesterday was travel. Planned out what I was going to eat and planned in ways to exercise. After the wonky scale results above, I decided to not pack it, but given I went to bed hungry and woke up hungry I doubt it’s an issue. Tomorrow I will have access to my Florida scale that is same make and model as home and will have 11 days in a row using that scale before heading north again. Here’s to hoping the cats are happy my son moved in to take care of them.
11/30 – 135.4 (Florida scale) First time weighing on this scale since April. My estimation is that it is not weighing high and at worst maybe a little low? Could even be accurate, but will know more when I return north in 2 weeks. At the same time, the loss is possible if based on my hunger. Past two days, travel days, I have not exceeded the 1340 calories that I began with on Sept 14th but I have been beyond hungry. So is this loss real? Have pre-planned and tracked my meals for the next 3 days and heading to the grocery store in 5 minutes. Glad to have access to my own kitchen again, even today is cleaning of construction/repair dust and replacing all my dishes, glassware and other breakables that had to be packed up last April (jack hammers can shake a building pretty badly). Still long way before repair is done, and glad we are checking for problems.

11/22 – 50 minutes cycle in two stints. Chose that because was more time efficient for the day.
11/23 – 35 min cycle. Knees are a bit off this morning. Hoping they loosen up/calm down during the day.
11/24 – virtual Feaster Five, 5K - my inaugural 5K, 00:34:54, 11’14” pace, avg HR 162 BPM, finished off with a 5:37 cool down 12’49” for .44 miles, during which I searched for my missing glove.
11/25 – lazy day - 35 minutes indoor cycle to loosen up my muscles.
11/26 – Thanksgiving – I at least got on the bike for 20 minutes, my minimum required from the UAC group that I am also in.
11/27 – Killed two bird with one stone, instead of my solo walk followed by taking cats out on the leashes, I did a 45 minute walk pushing them in their stroller.
11/28 – Flight travel day – to not forfeit my UAC challenge I got on the indoor bike for 20 minutes (my daily minimum), but then at the airport I took a long 30 min double walk through the terminal for 1.53 miles. Not a 5K, but keeping the moving and attitude alive!
11/29 – Drive travel day – was heading out to walk and 81 year old MIL asked to join me. Pace and distance were a little off but nice to have her company - 0:32:26 neighborhood walk with MIL, 24’49” pace for 1.30 miles, avg HR 95 BPM

I'm at a healthy weight, but I'm trying to get leaner. It needs to be more of a priority and that starts by posting here. Tracking for today.

11/26 - 143.5 - Made some of the side dishes for Thanksgiving. I'm putting them in "to go" containers and my Dad, daughter and her boyfriend are coming over for a little backyard bonfire tomorrow. It should be in the 50's, so we can hang out by the fire for a little bit (socially distant), divvy up our food, go to our respective homes and then eat. We'll have virtual drinks with my out of town relatives. I hope everyone has a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!

11/30 - 153.2 - Bloated today, not surprised. Water wasn't the greatest yesterday, I felt so full, even though I hadn't eaten, it was hard to drink more. Today seems better so going to really try to get the water in. Already have a nice start! Got 14.25hr fast yesterday but I was hoping to settle my stomach with all the water sloshing around in it. Did help. Plus, it was nice hot broth-based and felt amazing in the cold snap we're having this week. I'm planning to make chicken gnocchi soup this week. I might aim for today if I find out Gymnastics is going on - that way Fam doesn't have to worry about cooking while 1 is at gymnastics and the other at home with the other kid. If not, Thursday has a low of 28 (the coldest temp since I've moved here!) so a hot soup will go well with that. Aiming for 17hr fast, if not more today. Also going to get some intentional movement outside of yoga. Even if its just getting up to move around or stretch in between work meetings.

Previous Day's Comments11/23 - Bump as I expected the way my body has been acting lately. Had seafood last night as an annual birthday dinner for Gramps (the dinner is his gift so we made it socially distanced). Didn't eat much but was quite full after. Then had a small slice of homemade gluen/dairy free German Chocolate Cake to finish off the night because I can't turn down coconut! Not sure, but guessing, that is what's caused the bump up. That, and I'm sore from 2 hours of leaf blowing with a handheld blower. The boys had their backpacks (BF finally got to use his birthday gift I got him!) Woke up this morning and for some reason, I thought it was Tuesday or Wednesday. Weekend wasn't the most restful so I can understand my groggy confusion haha Made it 1 minute shy of 16hrs fasting yesterday, did leaf blowing in my fasted state which actually dulled my hunger for quite a bit. Today, if BF doesn't make me breakfast, I'll aim for another 16hrs. I may need to start pushing my fasts a little longer to see more benefit of it. And FamWife and I discussed trying to incorporate healthier foods in our meals. Hopefully between the two of us, we can!
11/24 - No movement is better than a gain! TOM arrived. Again. Had a visit 2 weeks ago and wasn't supposed to have another visit for 1.5 more weeks. Pretty sure it was my medication - did you know some cold meds and antibiotics can actually cause birth control to lose effectiveness? I'm on the pill due to hormone imbalances - it would make sense if my cold meds caused it to not properly balance my hormones and my body went a little haywire. Would also explain the bloating and weight bouncing. Its not harmful, its the natural state of my body. I just prefer to have a regular schedule and avoid all side effects of imbalances. Hopefully, since I stopped taking my cold meds Friday, it'll be out of my system and I can go back to normal. Fasted just shy of 16hrs yesterday and just barely under my water goal. Today is a little bit busier work day so I'll be glued to my computer and therefore my water bottle at my desk. Hopefully I can also fast a little longer but time will tell if BF makes breakfast for just him or for us both. I have a sinking feeling he'll make biscuits and gravy for us both and that's my weakness. I'll at least be close, if not at, 16hrs by the time that happens which is good. Could be worse!
11/25 - A little drop down. I noticed last night, even after eating dinner, that my stomach looked quite a bit less bloated. I almost looked like I had dropped several pounds off me the difference was so huge. Was hoping the scale would reflect what the mirror did, but I'm good with any drop! Ended up fasting 17.5hrs yesterday, woo! I was planning on eating around the 16hr mark but realized I wasn't horribly hungry, I just wanted food for the taste of it. So I showered and ran errands over my lunch period first (I got the eggs for Deviled Eggs!) Then I had a small lunch as I couldn't put together much without being late to my meeting. Held off eating again until dinner - glad I didn't snack, dinner was delicious and I could enjoy a bit more. Water was really good, too. Didn't quite measure (my cup is 32oz so its that or less), but I'm pretty sure I surpassed my target water goal. Today I'll be making my apple crisp for tomorrow and probably knock out the pecan pie cheesecake for Friday's Friendsgiving potluck (all planned around COVID restrictions - its the friends whose kids all go to school/daycare and play together. We'd all end up sharing sickness from kiddos anyway. Still taking precautions among the adults, 2-4 year olds don't always listen well). May even knock out the pecan pie for Friday, as well. Cheesecake was a request, pecan pie is for me, but I suppose I'll share for the sake of my waistband
11/26 - Power went out and woke me up. Couldn't weigh but wanted water so chugged some before power came back on. Woke up with bleeding lip due to lips being so dry and cracked. Not sure why, drank like 90oz yesterday and day before! Hopefully today I can keep up on it. Busy busy day. All I have left to make is deviled eggs, though I already have the eggs boiled. Happy Thanksgiving to all my US friends here!
11/27 - Likely a lack of water (cooking and hard to drink and go pee as much when you're trapped in the kitchen!) and food. I didn't eat too awful much, but still more than I normally would in one sitting. I had to try all the dishes, of course. Luckily we ate at about 3pm and I started fasting earlier than normal. Already almost at my 16hrs for today. Hoping to fast as long as possible today and tomorrow to offset 2 thanksgiving dinners a bit. Especially since I only got about 13.5 hrs yesterday. FamHub attempted to make Scotch eggs and oh my were they delicious. I only had one, but it was earlier than I'd normally eat (still warm and fresh - plus I had to get one before everyone else ate them all!) Friendsgiving today means more food, but I'll probably tone it down and stick with simple stuff since the majority of it will be similar to yesterday's food. Plan is to eat at 3 or so again so maybe I can start fasting early like yesterday. If not, it's fine. One day of indulgence and a second day of slightly less indulgence won't kill me. I got my pecan pie fix yesterday, FamHub's mom made it. Today I'll taste a small bit of my pecan pie cheesecake so I can learn and improve on it but no other desserts. Thankfully too much sweet stuff makes me feel sick to my stomach these days so its easier to stay away from it. Not sure when that change happened as I used to love sweets so much, but I'm sure glad it did. I'm blaming BF, he hates sweets and so I stopped eating them as frequently. Now things that used to be normal to me taste overly sweet.
11/28 - That's slightly confusing. I hit my water goal but still feel a little dehydrated. I was sooooo full it was painful to move and drinking water wasn't helping my case. Problem was, I had to try my cheesecake. It was a hit and only a couple pieces left when I went in. After dinner I realized there was no way I could eat a piece until I saw it was almost gone. Pecan pies went untouched because the cheesecake was the show stealer apparently. Either way, I'm slightly more bloated looking than yesterday, but not as bad as I expected. Weight is down so I'm not going to complain! I feel like the bloat will fix itself through today. Made it 17.25hrs fasting yesterday (yay! win for me) and starting fasting a little earlier than normal. BF said he planned on sanding down his bug for primer today. Its got a load of bondo and chipped paint. We can't afford to do a paint job, but he's done body work all his life so sanding things down and primering it isn't out of his realm. It'll also help us see what kind of body trouble the bondo is covering up so we can fix and the primer will help seal things up to avoid rust and other issues. Perfect job for a rainy dreary day.
11/29 - Drank a ton of water before I got to the scale so decided not to skew numbers by weighing at all. Almost feel hungover but don't think I had near enough for a hangover? I know my headache is based on my neck - I definitely slept funny on my neck and it hurts - headache seems centered on neck pain. Fasted 18hrs yesterday. Ate one of my quesadillas I had frozen extras of - ground turkey, chopped spinach, chopped bell pepper, cheese to break my fast and had a small bowl of gumbo for dinner. Water was good, but I think I need to up it more. Been feeling oddly dehydrated despite hitting water goals. Need to get on top of that. Think it'll be a lazy football day today. I hope so, at least.

11/30 - Bitter cold (feels like temp in the 30s with wind) so not sure if it'll get warm enough for me. I'm a total baby when it comes to cold. I don't have any jackets except my carhartt which is really hard to work out in. I may do 30 minutes of yoga and call it my other half of the 5k so I can start Kick 2020 to the Curb tomorrow.
15+ days of yoga practice. Doesn't matter length of practice, just get on the mat. Giving myself every other day yoga practice, with option of more, due to holidays and other commitments.

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

11/24 214.1 Walked 5 miles, 1684 cal, 55 net carbs, AF. I know what to do to lose weight I just need to execute and repeat! One slice of pizza with salad instead of 3 slices and no salad. Did splurge on a little yummy homemade mac&cheese with steak and roasted broccoli.
11/25 213.8 Walked 3 miles, tracked, 2 wine, 2 drinks.
11/26 213.6 Walked 3 miles morning + 2 miles evening, cal, net carbs, 2 wine. Fries but no bun with the burger Turkey thawed, side dishes created and in fridge!
11/27 215.6 Walked 3 miles, 2553 cal, 140 net carbs, 3 wine. Skipped lunch after logging my food for dinner in advance! Lovely Thanksgiving meal.

Heading to the camp in order to help my Mom (her husband passed away this month) … review her financial situation, review & pay bills, get her Christmas decor out of attic and decorate (plus find a spot for it to store so there is no need to use attic in the future). Remember to care for myself as I care for her.

Day/Weight/Comment11/23 = 93Halfway point
11/24 = 92.9
I've been reorganizing the hallway storage today and had to pull out bags of my old clothes that gradually multiplied over the years as the weight crept up on me. It's a bit shocking to think of how long I've been repeating the pattern of just buying bigger clothes rather than changing my eating habits.
11/25 = 92.6
The kitchen is my favourite room in the house, I love steaming mugs of coffee on frosty mornings and mixing bowls full of birthday cake batter, I adore catching up with old friends around the kitchen table as we lose track of time. I worked hard to create that bright, cosy, atmosphere in a dark old house and now I think it's time I took my own image on as a project.
11/26 = 92.1
I tried to stay out of the kitchen today, when I'm in there I'm compelled to either cook or eat, so today, unsettled, I drifted around the house searching for a place I could grow my next obsession: getting fit and healthy, and on a different level explore expressing myself through how I dress (an entirely new undertaking for me!)
It's a small house but I think I can free up some space in the hallway -a spot from which I can see my beloved kitchen
11/27 = 91.7
Found it hard to think about anything personal at all today, I spent all my free time worrying about the pets and the garden.
It was hot.
A voice from the wings: How how was it?
It was so hot.
11/28 = 92.1
Today was almost too hot to care about weight loss but with the cool change in the evening I was watering the garden, in that slightly meditative state which watering brings me and my thoughts drifted to the year ahead: 2021 (still sounds like sci-fi!)
I realised I'm confident that next year I can keep going, keep counting kj, and day-by-day keep getting closer to the healthy lifestyle I want (though to be honest I don't know what that looks like yet)
Maybe it should have been obvious that all I needed was a realistic plan and to put in effort every day towards it but for the longest time this strategy simply escaped me.
11/29 = 91.5
It constantly astounds me when I put on clothes that were tight last month, I may not be swimming in them yet but I'm dipping my toe in the water and trying to catch the eye of the most vigilant looking lifeguard
11/30 = 91.5
I'm counting my chicks before they hatch, literally, there are five.
Almost twenty-one days ago the fates aligned and I found myself with a rare clutch of fertile eggs and an (even rarer) broody chook, so instead of throwing her in broody rehab to shock her out of it I smuggled the eggs into the nest
Which is why I'm frantically building a brooder at 11:40 pm the night before they are due to hatch.
Why did it take me 21 days to start to build this "basic" brooder when I've wanted chicks for ages?
Procrastination, poor time management, uncertainty over the details, and a paralyzing fear of investing time, money, energy, and hope, but doing it wrong... *scratches chin* Sounds familiar somehow...

11/23 194.0 Not surprised had beef ribs last night. I was mindful about everything else I ate for the day. So It shouldn’t be I huge increase. I’ll take this. I am going to be very mindful all week.
11/24 193.5 14041 1964 calories. I am trying to be mindful. Eat lots of fruit and veggies. 2 eggs, 1 sausage link and an avocado for breakfast.
11/25 193.3 11759 steps 1874 calories. I had chicken salad last night with my babies. Light breakfast today. Having apple pie tonight is a tradition with my foster sister.
11/26 194.7 There is apple pie. Yesterday 11956 steps 2365 calories no hugs required.
11/27 195.8 I woke up this morning saying please don’t let it go over 196. I kept my portions small. Waited 10 minutes before I went back for more and small portions. Sweet potato pie. 9788 steps and1768 calories. Not bad. Plus I worked out last night for 15 minutes.
11/28 195.7 Finished the pie, don't want it in the house. Drank lots of water. Plenty of leftovers.
11/29 193.7 A drop back down to where I was approximately. Yesterday was a bit lazy only 7300 steps but today I made my attempt at the Turkey Trot. 2.93 miles average pace 19’20” 56 minutes. Saturday I had no leftovers. I ate tuna avocado salad and Sunday I had leftovers for breakfast.

Round 133 Goals: Track & Make Healthy Food Choices, Minimize Alcohol, Continue Running Plan + Add in Strength Training, Lose 1.5 pounds, DO NOT GET DERAILED by Thanksgiving
Day/Weight/Comment
11/23: 174.2 Yesterday was a rest day from exercise, but was very busy anyway and got a lot of steps organizing the house all day. Today is supposed to be a running day but it is pouring raining outside, but hopefully it will let up enough to get my run in. I'm also going to go ahead and pre-log my Thanksgiving meal for Thursday to get a good idea of what my calories need to be be the rest of the week to even out the damage
11/24: 175.6 Drank wine last night that led to late night snacking, so this is expected. On the positive side did get a run in yesterday and have my last pre-turkey trot run this afternoon. Back on track today with food choices and being AF again. (My AF plan is to reduce the amount of days a month I have any alcohol not cut it out all together).
11/25: 175.6 Ran my last Turkey Trot training run today, not a great run, having a lot of calf tightness (even though I do a lot of yoga and stretches), which is not normal for me. Have decided to run my 5K on Saturday and the it will have the best weather & not be raining. Lots of Thanksgiving prep tonight!
11/26 DNW Happy Thanksgiving!
11/27 DNW Feel puffy in the face today from the sodium. I didn't overeat to access yesterday, just had small portions of everything but definitely way, way over on calories. But had a really lovely day!
11/28: 176.8 Ugh!, here's the Thanksgiving gain, but it stops today...will be posting a loss tomorrow! I've got my 5K planned for today and it will be in the low 50's (very unseasonably warm), my favorite running weather!
11/29: 175.6 Back down to the pre-Thanksgiving number. Ran my 5k yesterday and taking it easier today with just a walk outside. Need to lose 1.5 lbs before the end of this round to post a loss and 3.0 lbs to reach round goal. Not too optimistic either will happen BUT I do plan to end this round on a losing streak and that is the positive I will focus on!
11/30: 174.1 WOW!, Wasn't expecting this whoosh! Super happy with this number this morning Great way to start of the week and get extra motivated to finish this round strong. Exercise wise, today is a rest day, new 5K training starts tomorrow. AF, IF 16/8 are both going well. Will finish the month 19/30 days AF in November.

Okay, back on track today after a little food tantrum yesterday over not losing in R132 despite fewer calories & more exercise. 😁 Hitting the good protein, veggies, fats now through Wed., enjoying TG, then back on track. It’s cold today and there’s still snow on the ground from yesterday, but I’ll get out this afternoon for a couple of miles. I’m thinking of making a pot of minestrone. Mmmmmmm. Comfort soup!
11/24 - 183 - 1311 - 5.5 miles
Aww, come on. Very discouraging. My average calories have been below maintenance for two weeks, macros P20, F40, C40 (mostly veggies, legumes, & whole grains), exercise increased, and I’m not snacking like I was. I even reset my scale in case it was stuck in some sort of loop. I don’t believe in very restrictive, unsustainable diets but I’m thinking of going back to the elimination diet I was prescribed for inflammation a couple years ago. It melted 20 pounds off in no time (but I gained it back plus more in the next 18 months). No walk today — sleet and wind — but I’ll try to do something. Maybe clean the house? Nah!
11/25 - 182.8 - 1591
I had a long think last night about my “struggle” and I’ve decided to take a different approach. Rather than worrying about timed weight-loss goals and calories cutting, I’m going to aim to keep my calorie average about 100 below my estimated maintenance level based on SailRabbit TDEE, MFP’s maintenance number, and my own experience (which I plan to chart in detail today or tomorrow). I’m aiming for more protein, esp. fish, few to no refined carbs, and healthy fats, and only occasional, planned snacking — say, pumpkin pie tomorrow night! I’m also aiming for more movement, including walks and starting to jog, but realistically I’m not likely to do a lot of that in the northern Indiana winter and I’m going nowhere near the gym, so I’ll do what I can. I really might have to do more housework! But as I said yesterday, nah! Ok, tmi as usual. American friends, be safe this holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving!
11/27 - 183.4 - 1916
No surprise there. Leftovers today, and I’m just going to enjoy them, though I’m subbing steamed broccoli for stuffing and having a small piece of pumpkin pie instead of the “healthy” (meaning “not so much”!) piece of pecan pie I had yesterday. My 3.5 mile walk didn’t burn that baby up! I have half the round left to balance things with non-holiday fare. I’m going to try for a walk today, but it’s cold and damp out and I’ve become a serious weather weenie after living on the southern coast of NC for 10 years! We’ll see. I hope those of you who celebrate TG had a lovely day yesterday. Be safe, everyone.
11/28 - 183.4 - 1926
Yep, leftovers. But I started this morning with a high-protein breakfast and have the rest of the day planned for “regular” calories, lots of water, and a walk, even if short. All good. Happy Saturday!
11/29 - 183 - 1771
Still ate too much yesterday — fell off my plan — and I’m feeling overstuffed this morning. Ugh. But I walked about 3.5 miles and plan to get out today. We have snow & ice probably headed our way tonight, which may stifle my walking a bit. It’s sunny if cold now — birds and chipmunks very busy this morning. Mike the cat is running from window to window, so at least someone is exercising!
11/30 - 183 - 1862
Aaack! Too much food. I blame the carbs breakfast, which left me “mouth hungry” all day and I ended up snacking. I got a walk in, but won’t today as we have “wintry mix” falling and it’s slick out there.

Hi, I’m Karen, in my 50’s

I am very glad to be here with all of your familiar, darling faces!
11/24-166
11/25-167-Hmmmm
11/26-164-I was bloated the day before. Ate a heavy lunch and had soup for dinner. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
11/27-166-Better than I thought it would be!
11/30-167-The dogs are getting the rest of the stuffing, potatoes and gravy. Glad it’s Monday, that makes it easier to get back on the wagon!!7 -

50 days ago, I was 2.5lbs heavier than I am now. 49 days ago I was 6.5lbs heavier! The body is a funny thing! I gained 4.5lbs. over night? Running and working out yesterday, just like every day? Weighing each blueberry and apple and grape tomato. (Not each grapes because they are WAAAY too many calories!) No, I know that is not a "true weight." I am obsessive and I admit I have disordered eating issues. BUT I am getting better for now.
This round MIGHT be my last...because it has helped me so much. However, I want to try to move away from weighing-in every day. These rounds have helped me not to be so dependent on the scale to define myself. I am going to TRY to get weighed every 5 days, so I would have to say good bye to Just Give Me 10 Days.
But I may very well be back! I hope to reach my ultimate weight goal of 122-125lbs. by the end of October of 2021. Slow and steady. And I hope to stay there and not get sick again, like last time...moving my goal to 120, then 118, then 115, then lower and lower until I was eating 800 calories a day and exercising for three hours a day, losing my hair, etc.
It has been a long, hard road, but I am grateful and still the luckiest girl in the world, as I realize that my problems are the problems of the privileged.
STARTING WEIGHT: 338lbs on January 1, 2014
ROUND 133 STARTING WEIGHT ON 11/23: 139lbs.
ROUND GOAL WEIGHT: 139-138.5lbs.
ULTIMATE GOAL WEIGHT: 122-125lbs.
Previous Rounds
Round 128: 138-139lbs. (+1)
Round 129: 139-134lbs. (-5)
Round 130: 134-137.5 (+3.5)
Round 131: 137.5-134 (-3.5)
Round 132: 134-136.5 (+2.5)
11/23: 139lbs. (I know what this weight gain is. I know it is hormonal or water or whatever! Because it happens EVERY MONTH! And I have been running consistently and counting every grape tomato and weighing every banana! And it takes an excess of 3,500 calories to gain a pound. There is no way I could have legit gained 7lbs. in two days with my energy expenditure and my caloric intake! And I am okay! By Friday or Saturday I will be at 136 or 135! And even if I am not, as long as I am still counting calories and exercising and not bingeing I am okay!)
11/24: 138lbs. (Still on plan!)
11/25: 137.5lbs. (Slow and steady!)
11/26: 136lbs. (Here!)
11/27: 135.lbs. (Stuck to plan! 1152 calories, ran, worked out, didn't binge or restrict and I figure that was good considering many see yesterday as a day of eating. Today is mom's birthday, and I have a wedding rehearsal tonight -small group who will adhere to social distancing today and also for the wedding, but weddings always make the nervous. So we will see if I can keep on track today. Worked out this morning and plan to run before work.)
11/28: 134lbs. (Sticking to plan.)
11/29: 138lbs. (Gained 4 lbs. overnight! Hahha! Not! This would have KILLED me before I started "Just Give Me 10 Days"
11/30: 139lbs. (I was 138 before my shower! Hahha! Not going to panic because I am sticking to plan! Run is done!)

Day/Weight/Comment
11/22 …..208.1….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/23 …..207.2…..Traveling today for a new hot water heater. The one in the house only lasts about 2 minutes. Very deceiving because it actually looks brand new, even all the stickers on it. Looked up the model and serial number and it’s 31 years old! Wow, they really dusted and kept everything looking good but….. Well anyway, probably some fast food out which is always a treat since we always have little to nothing in this small town for restaurants, even pre-covid. I will try to be mindful.
11/24 …..207.2 ….. Grateful for no gain after an all day travel until after dark. Made the best choices I could. I think the lack of my usual travel gain was because of hard work when I got home. Still unpacking 22 years of home and business. Nothing here has been ready to accept my stuff. All the shelves need re-lining in the kitchens and 3 bathrooms. Tons of workers and friends in each day to help with all the mechanicals. Today I hope the new hot water heater will go in. Also the new wireless router for upstairs. Can I hope that 4 deadbolt/doorlocks will be done and old locks added to chosen interior doors? A busy day planned. I also hope to catch up on all the posts from the last round when my internet was not working. Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes.
11/25 …..206.2 ….. Not the best diet but plenty of work and movement. Grateful for the drop. Hot water in and leaking like hell. Not sure when he will be back because of the Thanksgiving holiday. My house looks like a war zone. I will try to pull off a clean kitchen table and a small Thanksgiving dinner just for my son & I tomorrow. Our standard large family dinner has been cancelled (or postponed) because of Covid restrictions in Michigan. So busy anyway. I’ve got to pull this together before Christmas!
11/26 …..206..6 ….. Hmph! Thanksgiving today. Tomorrow won’t be pretty but my son and I do have much to be grateful for this year.
11/27 …..207.6 ….. Not too bad of a post Thanksgiving weight. The immediate problem will be the leftovers. I know I’m not alone in this. I’ll try to keep things under control.
11/28 …..206.4 ….. Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!! I am DETERMINED not to let Thanksgiving be the start of a DISASTEROUS NIGHTMARE of weight gain THIS YEAR like it has been in the past. I am so happy that I am going to try to do the happy dance amid all these boxes still unpacked. Cheshire Cat smile here folks.
11/29 …..xxxxx ….. I can’t believe I forgot to weigh in today. A little busy maybe with this move? Today was a birthday party for my DGS that turned 3. My daughter had 2 hour birthday appointments one family at a time to bring gifts, have a wonderful lunch and cake & icecream. So sad we couldn’t all be together at the same time, but, hey, he got lots of company all day long and plenty of well-wishes, presents and fun!
11/30 …..207.2 ….. Is this the after-shock weight of Thanksgiving or that late night meal that could have been smaller last night? I hate the way the cravings sneak up on you after a day of full meals (especially holiday meals.) I will push through it today. I have a low calorie/low carb day planned.
12/01 …..xxxxx …..

44, 6' trying to maintain at 150. Have to track here for accountability. More water, more low/0 calorie snacks when starving.
11/30 161 I have no one to blame but myself. I didn't want to post here, but I knew I had to. I'm right back where I was last year. Not that that's terrible. I'm at a healthy weight, but I'm trying to get leaner. It needs to be more of a priority and that starts by posting here. Tracking for today. Hugs to anyone else that struggled through the mass consumption that is Thanksgiving.
@MomLarisa We're in this together Larisa. We can do this!!! I am not so focused on the when but just on the wonderful possibilities......6 -

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.

SW Rnd 133 117.5
11/23 117.0 New restrictions start just after midnight tonight. Welcome to California Junior. The governor has effectively cancelled Thanksgiving gatherings for all. I had previously cancelled (last week) the one we were planning and my menu keeps shrinking!
11/24 118.0 I know why. Need to take something!
11/25 117.5 Bathroom success after weighing. YAY!! DH baked cookies last night (for DGD#3 and DSIL) today I’ll be baking pies for DGD#4 and DGSs#2&3. DD will pick those up along with silly place card holders I made this afternoon. Also keto friendly desserts for us.
11/26 117.5 Happy Thanksgiving to the citizens of the USA! EVERYONE have a BLESSED DAY!
11/27 119.5 Aaah, Thanksgiving. Totally expected-had small amounts of sweet potato and mashed potato, 3 small homemade dinner rolls, and lots of eggnog! Really, most of the foods we enjoy regularly. Dinner rolls and mashed potatoes as well as eggnog are the culprits! LOL I didn’t even taste the keto pumpkin pie I made. I was NOT stuffed but I was FULL. All things considered, a great day. I just wish we had been able to join family!
11/28 120.0 Expected. This should be going down tomorrow. I plan to get my lazy butt out of the chair for “Kick 2020 to the Curb” AF
11/29 120.5 Hmmm It’s okay. This is actually the typical high carb 3# gain. Eight months ago (on 3/16, the day before Nevada was shutdown) I was 121.0. I now know how even a lower carb (not keto) Thanksgiving will affect me. Today my gal pals and I are having a virtual sew day through Google meet up. Yesterday I went over the Garmin’s step goal. YAY!
11/30 120.5 What a great day yesterday hanging out virtually with my sewing buds - about 7 hours!! I made and ate chicken jalapeño popper soup - YUM!

Round 133
Please join us! Starting on 11/03 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 133
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
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.
Goals
- check in at least every other day
- Participate
- Low carb

Day/Weight/Comment
11/23 168.6 ~ {Steps 4,306} ~ Late night snack attacked me again, unfortunately, 😈😈
11/24 168.1 ~ {Steps 9,485} ~ Today even with all this craziness, the kitchen closed after dinner!
11/25 167.6 ~ {Steps 17,021} ~ Today was successful with diet and fitness!
11/26 166.8 ~ {Steps 11,237} ~ My SIL was supposed to join us for Thanksgiving dinner but at the last minute blackout. My granddaughter was crushed, 😭😭, it just broke my heart. Actually him not joining us made the day even better, my daughter and grandkids were able to have a fabulous day without him. After dinner we sent some time at our favorite park so that was a bonus too! Even though I had a gain, the food and company was WORTH IT. No worries the slight shift in weight will be gone in a day or too.

GW for this round: 138
Round 126 (1): 156 to 153.2 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 127 (2): 153.2 to 150.4 (-2.8 lbs)

Round 131 (6): 144.4 to 139.6 (-4.8 lbs)
Round 132 (7): 139.6 to 138.8 (-0.8 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Maintain weight at 138-139.
- Run/walk my evening walk with the dog to work up to a 5K by Thanksgiving
11/23 - 139.4 - Not the start I wanted, but I’m feeling really bloated today so that might be part of it. I’m also really annoyed that after updating my phone last night, it appears to no longer be receiving workout and step information from my Apple Watch. I hope I can figure it out soon - in the meantime I can enter the workouts manually and change MyFitnessPal to get my steps from Pacer rather than Apple Fitness. Still frustrating though!
11/24 - 138.8 - I switched HappyScale to maintenance mode this morning. It was really bothering me to see the trend line numbers getting smaller and the next goal weight staring at me every time I opened it. Focusing on maintenance for awhile is going to involve a mental shift - but since I haven’t changed my calories or exercise habits, having the scale stall is... frustrating.
11/25 - 138.6 - The Thanksgiving cooking has officially started! I made the gravy and the cranberry cheesecake last night and will do the apple pie and the sweet potatoes today. I hope I haven’t been getting too many extra calories from the tasting and checking as I cook. 😂. I had two fun NSVs yesterday - first, I beat the final boss on my Ring Fit Adventure game! It’s pretty cool to see how many hundreds of squats and arm presses and other exercises I’ve done over the past 2.5 months I played. It’s got a new game plus that I will check out starting tomorrow. The second - my wedding/engagement ring fit again! I had to take it off during my pregnancy and never could get it on again. I kept meaning to get it resized, but.... pandemic. I decided to try it again yesterday, and it fits comfortably! So happy!
11/26 - 138.0 - Well, that’s a nice drop - but it’s not likely to stick given today’s menu. Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans in the group - I hope you have a wonderful day remembering all you have to be thankful for. I’m certainly thankful for this group and the amazing support it’s given over the past few months!
11/27 - 138.2 - I would have been happy with anything under 140, so this is great. I was good about having reasonable portions yesterday, but really only estimated putting things into MyFitnessPal - I wasn’t about to worry about weighing everything this time. And I only had half a slice of cranberry cheesecake (which was still SO DELICIOUS). We did a Zoom get-together with my husband’s family yesterday and will be doing another with my side of the family this morning. We would have loved to have seen family in person, but it was still a lovely Thanksgiving. Now back on the weight-loss track!
11/28 - 137.6 - It’s certainly gratifying to see the scale numbers going down again, especially after such large turkey meals the past two evenings. Tonight I get to make one of my absolute favorite recipes - a turkey cheddar broccoli bake that we had after Thanksgiving every year while I was growing up. I’ll lighten it up a little, and have it over quinoa or brown rice - but mainly I’ll just need to be careful with portions. I just hope my kids love it as much as I do.
11/29 - 137.2 - Returned HappyScale to weight loss, since I’m back on track for the next few weeks. It would be great to lose another 1-2 lbs before Christmas. I did my 5K this morning - wasn’t able to run quite the whole thing so that is the next goal. Hard to believe I’m probably in the best shape I’ve been since my wedding 15 years ago!
11/30 - 137.6 - Exercised a lot yesterday (5K plus a 2.5 mile hike), but I ate more than usual too. We put up our Christmas tree, which meant hot chocolate with marshmallows. I’m not going to skip out on family traditions when I’ve had such good progress over the past few months. Like we always say in here - “it’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle!” I’ll also eat the last little piece of cheesecake for dessert tonight, so that temptation will be gone. I got my meal prep for the week done - more egg muffins and a pumpkin coconut soup. Let’s end this round strong!

11/23 - Walked 2 miles yesterday, but at a slow pace (dog wanted to sniff everything. Going to run/walk the full 5K again tonight.
11/24 - Ran 2.6 miles last night at 12:00 min/mile pace. Slow, but that did include stops to let the doggie sniff and poop. 😂
11/25 - Walked 1.57 miles last night
11/26 - Walked/jogged 2 miles with a very reluctant doggie. Going to walk a full 5K tonight to hit my Apple Watch Thanksgiving challenge.
11/27 - Ran/walked 3.25 miles last night - total time of 42 minutes. Would love to do it in under 40 on Sunday (when I won’t have the dog to slow me down and force stops.)
11/28 - Walked 1.5 miles last night and already did a 3 mile walk with the family today. Will probably jog the 1.57 loop tonight.
11/29 - 5K Day! 🦃 I did it! I ran first two miles, then had to walk/run the last one, but my overall time was 37 minutes. Super proud of myself and now want to work up to running the whole thing without stopping. 😊. Guess that will be my “Kick 2020 to the Curb” goal!
11/30 - Rest day to recover from the 5K plus hiking yesterday. New goal is to do a 5K on January 1st - no walking and beat my time from the Turkey Trot!

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 133- 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.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.
