I originally started this challenge in December 2018 and lost 42.6 lbs in 13 months. I’m up 13 lbs since March 2020 and I really want to start changing things now instead of waiting to the end of the year.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/06 146, plan on doing a 45 minute peloton ride and will start decorating the Christmas tree today.
12/07 145.8, I hope to do a 45 min bike ride and 30 minute barre class today. I made a corn chowder for dinner yesterday and have leftovers so dinner is already made, which is always easier for staying on track.
12/08 145.7, I’m going to focus on really increasing my water intake today (only had 36 oz yesterday). Final day of corn chowder (one disadvantage and advantage of living by myself is that meals last 2-3 days, but also meals are usually ready just for reheating).

Round 134
Please join us! Starting on 12/03 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 134
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
12/03 169.9 ~ {Steps 6,981} ~ Spot on with diet and a shorter workout. I pulled a hamstring a couple days ago so basically besides yoga, I’m only talking Pete for his morning walk.
12/04 169.9 ~ {Steps 8,985} ~ I decided to start decorating, haven’t been in the mood lately. 😖
12/05 169.9 ~ {Steps 14,195} ~ I’ve NEVER had the scale the same for 3 days, my sodium isn’t high or calories. The only difference is my workouts. I’m thinking I might have to get another SHORT walk in.on the bright spot my hamstring isn’t as bad.
12/06 168.5 ~ {Steps 6,483} ~ woot hoot, now it’s time to keep the scale moving the right direction. The key is to keep moving 🚶♀️and healthy food choices 🫐🍌🥒🍎🧅🍆
12/07 ~ 167.5 ~ {Steps 10,431} ~ Today we decided to take a day drive, just to get a different out of dodge, lol. It helped tremendously, finding a nice trail to get a walk with my husband.
12/08 167.5 ~ {Steps TBD} ~

Hi there
I'm up a couple pounds and don't want that to continue (obviously!). I have a bunionectomy happening Friday (hmmm....extra eating because of that?!?! perhaps. )
Also, super concerned that being more sedentary due to the surgery will impact my weight.
UNLESS I do something like THIS challenge!
Thanks for who ever hosts this. I appreciate it (or I will, I know I will).

Day/Weight/Comment
12/3 - 182.4
Another unintentional very low-cal day. I’m finding that a high-protein + moderate fat/low(er) simple carbs breakfast leaves me less hungry all day, and we’ve been having bigger lunches and a small snack at supper time the past few days. Not sure DH would go for this way of eating long term, but I could. Anyway, I’m feeling much better and in control than I have in a long time (which I attribute partly to being off FB for the past couple of weeks) + not scrolling the news feeds constantly! I’m hoping to get some walking mileage in the next few days while it’s in the 40s, before the temp drops and I hibernate indoors! Wishing everyone a good round!
12/4 - 182
I’ve decided to drop the competitive (mostly with myself!) frame around walking, though I’ll likely sign up in the spring for some races again. One thing I’m trying to work on along with another Type A friend is being kinder and less competitive with myself. All my life I’ve pushed myself very hard toward quantifiable goals, which has helped me to a fair amount of success in different realms. But my friend suggested a few days ago that I’m too hard on myself, especially during this weird, difficult time we’re living. “You’d never push a friend that hard or track them in so many arenas — calories, miles/minutes, words [I’m a writer] per day, or beat them up when they fall short.” I think she may be right. Goals are useful, but there’s a time for everything and although I’ll keep tracking calories & weight for a while, mostly out of habit, I’m going to try to cut myself some slack in other areas. I even slept in this morning!
12/5 - 182
Happy Saturday, all!
12/6 - 182.2
DH brought home some raspberry sherbet. I indulged a bit. I hadn’t had any in, wow, years maybe. Delish, and now I’m over it.
12/7 - 182
Monday, Monday...and cold! I guess vacuuming and scrubbing the tub will be my exercise.🧽🪣 And knitting counts, yes? I’m trying to finish a scarf for a friend. Have a love day!
12/8 - 182
Ha ha! I just noticed my typo yesterday — I meant lovely, but a love day sounds good, too. I seem to be back to my body’s favorite weight — she really loves to hang out here. Have a lovely love day!

12/7: 174.0 Been off MFP for the last few days. Whacked my head pretty hard putting groceries in my car and been avoiding screens & resting as much as possible. Starting to feel a little better.
12/8: 173.8 Feeling much better today. It's been a week since my last run, really feeling the urge to get out today for a least a short one and see how I feel. I recently bought a duo instapot/air fryer online for my DH as one of his Christmas gifts and it shipped in a box that showed what it was & of course he was home when it arrived. So since the surprise was ruined, we went ahead and opened it, going to try it out tonight, thinking about doing "fried" chicken wings. Anyone have any good cookbook recommendations for air fryers or instapots?

Round two!
Last chance before the Solstice, Christmas, and New Year's Eve, to get some calorie domination in!
Previously...

SW: 200.6/91
CW: 198.4/90.0
Goal: Preplan my food Every day
Goal: Be under 200lbs at the end of the round
Day/Weight/Comment12/03 = 200.6/9112/07 = 90.2 Halfway
The saga of the chicks continues. Abandoning the two remaining eggs yesterday, the hen and three chicks had a grand first day out of the nest pecking, scratching, and all that wholesomeness, but did not return to the nest, I had to gather up the eggs and keep them warm till they hatched -which they did today (after a rough night for me of turning up/down an electric throw blanket every hour or so to maintain heat at the right temp)
Monitoring the two chicks (and their blanket) all day, I had no energy left for anything else, None. I found myself completing the routine tasks mindlessly, and definitely would have strayed from my kj budget but I'd already preplanned my food which saved me the effort of having to choose what to have and made it... just easier.
I realised I need this in my life. It's a new goal to preplan my food every day for Dec (changes on the day are fine)
12/04 = 91
Sad start to the morning, one of the chicks passed away overnight (drowned in the chick waterer somehow) we buried her under the mulberry tree, RIP sweetie.
The good news is that in the evening the two late hatched chicks, now named Dora (the explorer) and Daisy (she? is tiny with a large yellow patch) easily joined the other two chicks under the fluffy butt of Tweets (the hen), who at first seemed a little confused but happy at having suddenly doubled her wards
I tried to stay awake to listen out for chick trouble and don't even remember falling into blissfully undisturbed sleep.
(I didn't feel so great today and didn't eat enough, or so MFP informs me in Big Red Letters, I do hope it's not three strikes you're out )
12/05 = 90.8
I'm feeling the calorie deficit today! That'll teach me to eat half my calories, I'm extra useless!
So I'm having an indulgence day, the only thing I'm keeping green today is the kj count, the rest can put on the red light,
put on the red light
put on the red light
Roxanne!
12/06 = 90.5
Wowzers! Onederland!
Hope I can still be under 200lbs at the end of the round! *fingers crossed* If I can manage it I decided that I'm going to buy myself a fruit tree as a reward
(I can't tell ya how hard it was to come up with a non-food based reward
note to self: get better at that!)
The younger chicks have settled in and all four are enjoying the arrival of an electric brooder (that I ordered way back before my hen went broody) though they seem to prefer the real thing most of the time
Onwards to building the top part of the enclosure before they start flying!
12/08 = 90.0
I've been dreading my dentist appointment tomorrow so I wasted my free time today searching for presents online instead of getting on with one of my Many Projects.
I don't like shopping online, actually, I don't like shopping. I find it exhausting to want so much but then I have a difficult time with "want", "need", on the other hand, is quantifiable "how much do I need it?" is usually pretty easy to figure out, wants are so complex, always tangled up with whys and whens and whos
The most difficult thing to acknowledge is that I can't ever have it all, be it all, do it all, given limited resources - one life - 24 hours - 60 minutes.
If I ever got a tattoo it would say:
Choose well, but choose now.

Round 133
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
12/03: 210.4 / happy to start another ten days that matter. It’s easy to see how an unexamined life can eb away if you aren’t paying attention.
12/04: 209 / Hope you all have a great Friday! This weekend I am going to try to figure out how to get more active. Yoga with Adrienne is my go-to also when it comes to virtual yoga. Before the pandemic I was practicing twice a week in a class at the gym.
I think about YWA a lot…. I just need to unroll the mat and do it!
That reminds me of my Meyers-Briggs personality analysis. I think it is INTJ. (Introvert, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging) I might be an F instead of a J. Feeling. One of the traits is that if an INTJ thinks through how to do something (which they always do before hand), they somehow think in their memory that they have already done it. HA!
On the Enneagram scale I am a five.
12/05: 210.2 / yoyo
12/06: 211
12/07: 210.8 / Yesterday, I not only rolled out my matt, but I did some yoga.
12/08: 211.4 / Trying something new today. Less salt and less sugar.
This morning I realized that it has been a while since I let myself get hungry. By that I mean “first world” hungry. For me, first world hunger is more of a (mental?) pang, not a pain. Grateful that I live in an area of the world where food is abundant. I take it for granted. I am always topping off the “tank.”
I support an organization that helps families in the Dominican Republic. Every year they offer supporters the “rice and beans challenge.” Only eat rice and beans for a week and donate the money you save on groceries to help feed children in the DR. So, what do I do? I eat my normal diet and donate money anyway. That is how blessed I am, and also how unwilling I am to experience any pain or inconvenience… I need to work on that.
Sorry, this is not a rant at you all. Just for myself. Thanks for letting me share.

Hi, I’m Karen, in my 50’s
OSW Sept.2018 187
12/3-165-Rode my bike 10 miles and tried to eat healthy.
12/4-166-IF 17 hrs. Lots of digging in the yard.
12/5-164-IF 16 hrs. I didn’t have time to walk far or ride my bike, so I rollerbladed around (outside) our house; the dogs love it and chase me the whole time. Got the Christmas decor up in our new house, I know how @deepwoodslady feels, but, Donna, we can keep moving it all around until we have to put it all away.Our adult boys are coming to visit today, FIL is on hospice and won’t last until Christmas.
12/6-DNW- We got 2 visits in with FIL and our boys before they had to head home. It was wonderful for them to see him. While they were here, we ate and drank ourselves silly.
12/7-DNW-IF 17 hrs. I refuse to weigh after a big weekend of eating what I normally don’t. Bloat doesn’t mean weight gained. Biked 10 miles and walked 2 miles.

Month/Day: Weight / Comment
12/03 194.8 It was just bloating. I had pizza last night because I was busy running errands with my children. I do my Zumba every morning for the past month not one day missed. 15 minutes wakes me up and loosens up my muscles. If I get additional workout in great but to me the morning Zumba is part of my routine like brushing my teeth.
12/04: 194.6 Busy cleaning house getting ready to put this tree up. So very active.
12/05: 193.2 storming here all day. Tree trimming all day...
12/06: 193.9 I did tree trimming today. I was eating on the fly yesterday it was hard to be mindful.
12/07: 193.3
12/08: 194.6 13733 steps 1890 calories. There are busy days ahead with lots of sweet stuff everywhere I look. I am done with tree and decorations, on to finalize the shopping and wrapping.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/02 …..206.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/03 …..206.2 ….. A low cal day to put things back in order.
12/04 …..203.6 ….. I actually counted how many times I got up last night to pee and in 5 hours I got up 10 times! That is a lot, even for a diabetic. I presume much of this overnight loss is fluid although I don’t recall eating anything that would retain such water! I did eat another low calorie and lower carb day but I didn’t get in many steps or movement. It was a paperwork day. Today I work on Christmas decorating a new house where nothing is planned or measured. Gotta start fresh on where to put things. I am struggling to make decisions.
12/05 …..203.8 ….. Hopefully rehydrated after a large fluid loss.
12/06 …..203.4 ….. I’m still bouncing around in the 203 range so that is a big YAY for me. I thought the big drop between the Dec 3 and Dec 4 would not stick. This just inspires me even more….. Come on Onederland!
12/07 …..202.6 ….. I am determined to not let this holiday season put me in my typical downward spiral into H – E – Double Hockeysticks. 3 small light meals yesterday and no snacks.
12/08 …..203.4 ….. A Very Very late dinner last night (after midnight). I was so hungry that I went back for seconds. Lesson learned (but will it be remembered by my brain fog brain?) I must eat earlier so I’m not so ravished! I will focus on a low cal day today but spread my meals out and eat proper!
12/09 …..xxxxx …..
12/10 …..xxxxx …..
12/11 …..xxxxx …..
12/12 …..xxxxx …..
My goal is to Dance for 20 minutes per day to increase my calorie burn.
Dec 01 – Danced 20 minutes and my was it harder than last time!
Dec 02 – Danced my heart out for 20 minutes.
Dec 03 – No dancing. Paperwork and wrapping presents.
Dec 04 – Danced for 20 minutes to mostly classic rock.
Dec 05 – Danced for about 22 minutes to a nice mix of music.
Dec 06 – Lots of movement but no dancing due to workmen here all day and continued unpacking.
Dec 07 – More workers here and no dancing. However, if you count going up and down stairs for hours as exercise, I got in my fair share!

Day/Weight/BF%/comment
12/3: 218.2 (-0.2)/28.5 (-0.1). I'm in a bit of an annoying plateau phase; I just can't get below 218. That being said, I can remember very clearly (and recently) when I was talking about not being able to get under 220 for the longest time. Patience is a virtue. This is a marathon, not a sprint. I'm like 98% on-plan, all the time. And, if I'm being perfectly honest with myself, I have not been exercising AT ALL. There's a lot of room for me to put more effort into this. With that being said, I'm going to shoot for a workout tonight (at home) when I get off of work.
12/4: 218.0 (-0.2)/28.5 (0.0). I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO SICK OF 218.X!!!! I just had to say that. My scale was REALLY TRYING to get me down to 217.8 today, but, in the end, it relented and stayed at 218.0. Exercise did not happen last night, at least not what I was trying for originally (and I wasn't "mad" at that at all). My brain is ready for my body to release some weight, but apparently brain and body are not on the same page. Perhaps my body is rebelling, angry that I have not followed through with my promises of exercise. You're right, body. I need to get you moving.
12/5: 217.4 (-0.6)/28.4 (-0.1). Sweet. That's all I was asking for (finally spying sub-218.0). My brother-in-law and his fiancee are coming over today for outdoors social distancing. We're going to order out, and I'll get a delicious keto-friendly salad. I feel a little guilty having them come over with the COVID-19 craziness currently happening (20,000+ cases per day in CA and over 200,000 nationwide), but I'll be masked at almost all times (except while eating/sipping), we'll be socially distanced, and, again, we'll be on my covered patio outside.
12/6: 218.0 (+0.6)/28.5 (+0.1).
12/7: 216.4 (-1.6)/28.1 (-0.4). Yesterday happened (uptick on weigh-in), but it was after a night of food and drinks (stayed within keto, however). I was great yesterday, though, and my weigh-in agrees with me! I haven't been "exercising" per say, but I have been moving my body around more. Baby steps. Today is my rotating day off (every other Monday), so I'm home. I have tons to do, but I'll try to get a little exercise in today. I felt stuck (severe plateau) 3 days ago, but it finally feels like things are moving. This feels like my first WHOOSH in a while (at least since my initial weight loss). Additionally, anything I have been doing in the last few weeks has pretty much been without exercise; there's still LOTS of room for me to improve, most of which will aid me in my fitness/weight loss goals.
12/8: 217.4 (+1.0)/28.4 (+0.3). Hmm. There's no great explanation for this. My best guess is that yesterday's weigh-in was a bit of a mirage; "food and drinks" doesn't generally lead to long-term weight-loss. That being said, a bit of a bump is okay right now, especially when the "bump" didn't take me over 218.0. Slow and steady. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

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.

12/3 118.5
12/4 117.5 My DH is driving me crazy with his obsessing about something/anything daily.
12/5 118.0 We ate at Golden Corral yesterday-Early Bird Special. It wasn’t crowded at 3:30 and we were finished and leaving by 4:30. OMAD
12/6 118.0 DH had headache and slept a lot yesterday and didn’t want to eat. I should have ignored him and fixed dinner early (3-4) because I was getting pretty darn hungry by 5:30 when it was ready! He ate and his h/a improved. I got over 9 hours of sleep last night!!! WHOO HOO! That is unheard of!
12/7 118.0 Going shopping today
12/8 116.5 Yesterday we didn’t eat until 3:45pm on the way home from shopping. Outdoor dining at In-N-Out - the weather was perfect! I did have a handful of almonds around 8.
My goal is to get motivated to do ANYTHING!
12/4 Barely moved. 2621 steps!
12/5 UGH! Worse than day before!
12/6 WelI got more steps 3,377
12/7 6398 steps love Walmart and Sam’s Club because it’s walking with a purpose.7 -
Round 134 will be spent in Florida. The good is that there are lovely opportunities to get outdoor exercise but the bad is more dietary challenge with restaurants and MIL cooking when we visit her. Goal for this round is to get to 135 or below, which should not be hard given that the past two days I was under 136 (.8 uptick this morning to start off the round
) and this goal would support my goal for overall month of December of 2 lb loss from yesterday, Dec 1.
For my kick it to the curb, my goal for while I am in Florida (this whole round) is to walk/run to Sombrero beach, take a picture of the sun rising, and walk/run back. That appears to be a little over 6.5 miles total. With that milage, it will likely be a lot more walk than run. :P I’ll figure out my next challenge when I get back home.
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), not gain over Thanksgiving.

Round 134 – starting weight 136.4
12/3 – 136.0 (florida scale) Successfully handled dining out last night and keeping under calories. I order two items from the appetizer section, tuna tataki and lump blue crab cakes with chipotle sauce. Perfect meal. For main exercise, I have been heading out before sunrise for my alone walks. Yesterday, got a 4 mile walk and this morning I went for 4.5 miles. Working closer to heading for my Sombrero Beach morning.
12/4 – 135.2 (florida scale) Had to change the batteries last night. I have no idea if that impacted numbers either before battery change or after. But this number is within the realm of possibilities given I weighed this same number one day last round. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
12/5 – 134.8 (florida scale) To continue to get through these remaining days in the keys, I have pre-tracked all my dinners and breakfasts, including dining out (accessed online menus). That bit of control is helping me get through.
12/6 – 133.8 (florida scale) Really curious if this scale is accurate or not. Anyhow, yesterday, I found I had woken up before 6 am and decided to go for the “sunrise photo walk” sooner than I planned, given I needed to be out the door by 6:10 to make it to the beach in time for sunrise. I arrive at 6:54 for the 6:56 sunrise. Glad to have done it. Also, sharing a totally different observation. Last night, did take out pizza. Now, my normal method is “more is better” and would have ordered the 16” pizza and who knows what I would have eaten. Instead, I looked up pizza calories and concluded that with a 14” pizza I could have 2 slices safely, but then figure out during the day that will a little tweaking of the rest of the day, I could have 3. I thoroughly enjoyed dinner!
12/7 – 134.6 (florida scale) Makes more sense, but there is also an interesting coincidence (of course we are only at n=2), but I have had two notable upticks since arriving in the Keys. Both were the day after I did a 3.3 mile walk/run. Yesterday, I also did something new. Hubby had been commenting on how we were in the Keys and had been unable to have a drink due to daily calorie allotments. So I proactively looked up a classic margarita recipe and preplanned our day to include one margarita each. 15 minutes later I needed a nap…….
12/8 – 134.6 (florida scale) Lazy walking day yesterday, BUT I met people which is nice because we know very few people here.

12/3 - 136.8 - In for another round! Really want to work hard and lose another pound or two before Christmas. The temptation is starting already though - my daughter declared last night that she wants to make Christmas cookies today. I’ve got the sugar cookie dough defrosting in the fridge - we’ll have so much fun! I just have to limit myself to one cookie.
12/4 - 136.0 - Hello, mini-whoosh! Haven’t had one of you in awhile. Had a great day yesterday - we did do the cookies though we used leftover orange frosting, so they kind of ended up as Halloween/Christmas hybrid cookies. 😂. The one I had was delicious though! And it’s great to be able to model healthy attitudes toward food to my daughter. Today she’s saying she wants to go exploring (and I want to get us outside as much as possible before the new stay-at-home order kicks in here in the Bay Area) so I’m hoping to take the kids to a nearby open space. We’ll see what happens when I tell them that means they have to put on their shoes. 🤣
12/5 - 136.2 - My county announced yesterday that we are implementing a new stay-at-home order starting on Sunday. No non-essential travel, no social gatherings of any kind, non-essential businesses shut down again. We’ve been in a social “pod” with one other family and our twice-weekly play dates have been a major part of the structure of our week. I know we are incredibly lucky to be in a position to weather this relatively easily, but it’s still a blow. However, we will absolutely do what we need to in order to help slow the spread of this virus. Now I need to focus on helping my kids through this and not just turning to cookies, cakes, candy and all the holiday treats to “make myself feel better.” *sigh*
12/6 - 136.2 - A short workout this morning, before a pancake breakfast with the family and a virtual book club Zoom call. Just finished getting most of my meal prep done - carrot cake overnight oats for breakfast, chipotle shredded chicken for lunch and a Tuscan chicken stew in the slow cooker for dinner tonight. Whew!
12/7 - 136.2 - Yesterday didn’t go so well - slipped and had several more cookies than I should have last night. We’ll see if it affects the scale in the next few days. I did manage to stop myself from eating even more of them - and I was beating myself up for awhile about it. But I spent a chunk of my yoga/wind-down time thinking of all the progress I’ve made and everything I’ve accomplished, and how one time of a couple hundred extra calories can’t undo that. I’ll do better today, and tomorrow and the next day.
12/8 - 135.4 - I like that number! Maybe I should eat more shortbread cookies. 😂. Good day so far - did 45 minutes of Just Dance before breakfast and then took the kids out for a hike (if I call it a hike instead of a walk, they’ll wear their backpacks and carry their own snacks 😉). Move goal on my Apple Watch complete before lunch!

12/3 - Walked/jogged 1.57 miles last night. I’d like to find a good C25K program that I could jump into - I don’t need to start from the beginning, but I’d like a plan to help me get to a full 5K without breaks.
12/4 - Walked/jogged 2.1 miles last night. I also downloaded the C25K app - I think I can start with Week 6 and work up from there. Hardest part will be getting the dog to cooperate!
12/5 - So...I hope this is ok, but after a lot of thought yesterday, I am going to change my goal for this challenge. I do still want to be able to run a 5K without stopping, but this new stay-at-home order made me rethink whether that’s what I need to be working towards right now. As I explained above, my kids (and I) are losing our only social outlet - our play dates with our “pod family” - which have been a major factor in keeping my 5-year old (and therefore me and my almost 2-year old) grounded. Even with them, it’s been rough on her and she’s acted out a lot... and I’m ashamed to say I haven’t been as patient and calm as I’d like to be when she has. I think it’s a fitting way to end 2020 by focusing on connecting to and centering myself - so I don’t turn to food to deal with this stay-at-home situation, and so I can better support my kids as they go through it as well. Very very long way of explaining that I’m changing my goal to 15-20 minutes of yoga and mindfulness meditation each night before bedtime. If anyone has suggestions for videos/apps they like, I’d love to hear them.
12/6 - No yoga yet, but I sat and just breathed for about 10 minutes last night after everyone else went to bed.
12/7 - Did a 12 minute set of “wind down” yoga and then some sitting and breathing before bed last night
12/8 - Skipped yoga last night; will make sure to do it tonight
