01/14 - 147.7 - I'm quite happy with maintaining after the last few days of major bounces. Lunch was a salad with my spinach (about to go bad), croutons, leftover steak, and strawberry poppyseed greek yogurt dressing with a small bowl of mixed fruit. Dinner was salmon with this whiskey glaze I thought would be delightful (it was) and FamWife made roasted sweet potatoes (yum, been craving those) and tried a new salad - cucumber avocado with a dressing. The dressing was also supposed to be used for the salmon, but we decided the whiskey glaze I bought would be better. It was wonderful! Water was 90oz on the dot. Fasted 17.5hrs. Tad bit tired though - been sleeping so hard the last couple nights and these last two mornings my alarm pulled me out of a dream. Those are the days I really struggle to get moving because I'm so groggy being jolted awake from deep sleep. Hopefully, like yesterday, a nice morning stretch here in a bit will wake me up a bit.

Previous Day's Comments01/12 - Eggrolls and wine? I'm not at all sure. Some type of (homemade) asian soup with meatballs and bok choy. Egg rolls and (homemade) fried tofu with peanut sauce. Definitely lack of sleep. Stayed up to watch Steelers-Browns game Sunday night and stayed up to watch college football championship last night. I'm feeling it today. Fasted 19hrs yesterday. 75oz water. Meetings upon meetings upon meetings today and I just want to sleep right now. Bleh. Hopefully I can manage a good wake up stretch here shortly.
EDIT: Wondering if eating later is also a cause - typically I like to be at 11-12+hrs into fasting when I weigh, but I also had a later dinner so I was only at 8.75hrs fasting when I stepped on the scale this morning. Don't want to postpone weigh in since I want to wake up with a nice glass of water but it could have impact? Also thinking the future when I have to commute again - I'll be up and moving at 4-430am and dinner will be at probably closer to 730-8pm by the time I get home. Will be interesting to see how that works out with daily weighing. Especially since weekends will be VERY different as I can sleep in! Just a mindless thought as I wait for my meeting to start. Thoughts, anyone?
01/13 - Shocked at this. Homemade au gratin potatoes last night (a favorite) and that has quite a bit of dairy to it which typically causes bloating for a few days. Probably see it tomorrow. Otherwise had steak, roasted carrots, and some cooked cabbage (don't know how she makes it, but its DELICIOUS). 90oz water. Fasted 16hrs which I'm super proud of since I'm not used to fasting until past noon anymore. Need to keep pushing myself through mini hunger pains like I did. They passed quickly, luckily. Maybe that's why I'm down, too? Lunch was small - small bowl of leftover soup, a blueberry waffle, and a fig newton for a "dessert". Did some serious leg workout and boy am I sore in the thighs today! Trying to rebuild my legs/booty again - been to sedentary for too long. Now that I think about it- surprised I'm not up from DOMS, either.

So, based on my behavior in round 137, I want to get back to the habits of pre-tracking and planning that were working so well for me from Oct 1 through X-mas. Husband being out of town for most of last round made me revert to not planning, since it is “only me”. That behavior then snow balls.
Goals for round 138 are to again try to and lose 1 more lb again. I would like to hit my stated goal of 129 by the end of January.
Previous Goals- Get under 150
- Get under 145 by my birthday (10/26)
- Get to pre-COVID weight from Feb 2020, 142.4
- Get under 140 before Thanksgiving 2020,
- Not gain over Thanksgiving,
- Get below 135
- Lose min 2 lb during December
- Walk/run to Sombrero B for sunrise photo
- Maintain losses of time in Florida
- Maintain weight for round 136 which included Xmas as well as New Years
- lost the 1 token pound in round 137, but is was what I hoped for, so all good, right?

Round 138 – starting weight 131.0
1/12 – 130.8 Yesterday was all pre-tracked, but I did make slight tweaks as the day went on. Dairy was good, exercise was good. Feels good to be in “control” again. Today was pre-tracked yesterday and I just finished planning tomorrow and parts of Thursday.
1/13 – 130.0 Pre-tracking again is being helpful. Today 90+% filled in and same for tomorrow. Remaining 10% allow for a little spontaneity. Yesterday was lighter on exercise, but it matched where my head was at. Scale did not seem to mind. Today is also my second to last day as "Nanny". Tomorrow, I have an oral surgeon consult (dental implant?) and I will have broken our "bubble", then Hubby comes home from Florida Saturday, so we will be quarantining together until his negative test next week. Following weekend (23rd) we hope to celebrate grandson's first birthday a week early as starting on the 27th, hubby and I have to deal with movers, contractors and delivery people for my MIL's new condo and we are presumed contaminated again. COVID is certainly making regular life a challenge.
1/14 – 129.8 As mentioned yesterday, today was pre-tracked already, but tomorrow’s is not. My babysitting is shifted today to an earlier set of hours due to my afternoon oral surgeon consult. Leaving the house in 35 min and I am still in PJ’s – overslept. I really should start setting alarms. Will be home earlier as well. I will get on planning and tracking for tomorrow and the next few days.

1/13 - 169.9 stood very still on the scale as it couldn't decide between this or 170 for a second
1/14 - 169.2 jumped off the scale so it wouldn't change it's mind!
Shortened the IF eating window yesterday as I just wasn't hungry when the window usually opens at 11 a.m. Closed the window at the usual 7 p.m. I don't think IF 18:6 would be doable everyday at this point. Will be interesting to see what the scale says tomorrow as I will likely go back to 16:8 today.

Day, Weight, Comment
1/11 – 205.2 – I fasted yesterday, so I expect this weight will increase tomorrow. 15,000 steps, 15 mins aerobics. I’d like to reduce time mindlessly scrolling on my phone. I also need to get into the habit of lifting weights for at least a few minutes most days to strengthen my upper body.
1/12 – 207 – 12,800 steps, 20 mins aerobics yesterday. I expected my weight to bounce up, but I was hoping it would be more like a pound rather than 2 pounds. Still struggling with too much grazing during the day, standing at the cupboard mindlessly snacking, eating the whole bowl of trail mix while scrolling on my phone. Going to really try to focus on controlling what I put in my mouth today. Today’s focus: STAY AWAY FROM THE SNACK BOWL. SIT DOWN TO EAT. EAT FRUIT AND VEGGIES INSTEAD OF NUTS AND CRACKERS. I also need to start lifting weights again. I just do simple dumbbells at home and I actually like it, but for some reason I’m avoiding it lately, possibly because I’m spending so much time on other exercise. I have a tendency sometimes to avoid doing things that are good for me and I enjoy for some bizarre reason! Still doing well with steps and keeping a trend of YouTube workouts going. I am starting to look forward to the Sunday fast and need a more formal plan for calorie control during the week – limiting my eating to smaller windows of time. I’d been trying to fast on Wednesdays, but we’re getting meal kits delivered and it just doesn’t work with the schedule we’re on. Need to work out a better plan.
1/13 – 207.2 – 13,715 steps, 50 min aerobics, 10 min weights. Depressing results on the scale, but yesterday was better in terms of snacking. Daily weigh-ins are a good motivator/wake-up call to keep me focused. Continue to focus today on being mindful of what I’m eating; avoiding eating while standing, walking, reading, watching TV, resisting the kitten trail mix bowl.
1/14 – 206.6 – 14,442 steps, 30 min aerobics yesterday. At least I’m moving in the right direction! Will keep being mindful of what I’m eating. Trying Noom and a good “psych tip” today was to expand my food options rather than always looking at this process as taking things away. I’ve done this intuitively, especially when I tried a plant-based diet for a while, but I’ll do it more consciously now. Meal kits from Blue Apron are a great way to get the “additive” effect or reward feeling and mix up the menu with healthy options that are new. Check. Doing that. Last week tried “Lesser Evil Grain Free Paleo Puffs – No-Cheese Cheesiness” as a replacement for Cheetos. So freaking good! And they actually fill you up (though costly). Going to Costco next week and will go wild with some new fruit or veggie and/or healthy salty snack. Today also going to write out an eating/fasting schedule that will work with my spring work schedule so I can get the habit started before the semester is in full swing.

😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
January focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:
2021 Focus:- Maintain weight < 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:JGM10D ~|~ Round 138- 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 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2021
- 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.

01/12 194.0 First time in a long time I did not walk for lunch. I got in 15 minute last night to make up for it.
01/13 192.9 Wow Hard work paying off. I went to a restaurant yesterday and the calories is so high and half my plate was vegetables. January is such heavy birthday month. Five so far with cousins, sisters and friends, not to mention the twins are turning 4 on the 26th of January.
01/14 194.0 Not surprised to see a fluctuation but still trying…

I’m not sure what happened to yesterday — it was morning, and then poof! bedtime. I’m really enjoying my Tenpercent Happier meditation challenge (free) and decided to get an annual membership (on sale @ 40% off). Today I’m diving into the Intuitive Eating meditation class as well as the challenge — I got a lot out of the book Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Triobole. Yesterday DH wanted to order from a lovely local Italian restaurant. Normally, I’d have gotten a high-calorie something with pasta, but I thought about what I really wanted and ordered a beautiful, satisfying salad of greens, Gorgonzola, and grilled chicken with raspberry-olive oil dressing, and a cup of minestrone. I think DH was a little jealous! 😁 I’ve also started researching bikes — I miss my bike (I sold it a few years ago when I was having some balance issues — turned out to be inflammation). We have many miles of beautiful walking & bike trails here, and every time I walk them, I think about riding, too. Between that and flower catalogs, I’m having happy fantasies! Hoping you’re all finding bits of joy.

Woopsie! DH made his famous (!) chicken penne Alfredo last night, and I didn’t realize that was the plan when I had a healthy but hefty lunch. In the spirit of intuitive eating, I enjoyed both and moved on. Today I’m craving salad with canned salmon and a walk — supposed to be 40F this afternoon! I’m enjoying my meditation classes/sessions a lot. Last night I used one of the sleep meditations and wow, I fell asleep before the end of the session and slept really well (which I haven’t been due to thinking and pain, which is worse at night). All good.

A bit more than I’d planned, but not terrible, and I went for a lovely 3-mile walk in the afternoon. Hope to do the same today. Wishing you well!

SW: 160.8 lbs (as of 1/10/2021)
GW: 140
Comment: I've lost 20 lbs since November 2019 using the slow and steady way (also have been intermittent fasting since November 2019, too). I'd like to be at 130 but don't think that is realistic, so I am focusing on 140lbs.
Goals over the next 10 days:
(1) Meet step goal 5/7 days
(2) Drink green tea with honey when my stress levels get high and I want to snack
(3) Eat more nutrient-dense foods instead of processed crap
Day/Weight/Comment
01/12: 162.9 (I am up from 2 days ago because I have been eating more - pure and simple - own it and move on)
01/13: 159.9 (not sure where this drop came from – probably because I had gorged on lots of food with lots of salt on the 11th – I’ll take it!)
01/14: 157.5 (I am almost back to where I was in December - I was at 156.5 and have been stuck there for about 3 months. So, I hope hoping that I keep up with this downward trend and break through the plateau. Focusing on "just 10 days" will hopefully put this into smaller chunks of my journey and not be so overwhelmed with 30 days. I also met my step goal and made really good food choices yesterday).

Please join us! Starting on 01/12 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 138
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

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.

1/13 118.0 Fasting. Today our baby girl turns 48. She has been feeling not well this week but is continuing to teach from home. Remote school is clearly not working for the children of Las Vegas. Elementary kids who have always had A and B grades are, in many cases, failing. So sad.

I am back. 2020 was just a mess for me. In January I was at 135 and then the pandemic hit. I have to come to the conclusion 135 is just to low for me. It takes a ton of consistency and discipline for me to stay at that weight and even 1 day of indulging I can put 5 pounds on. It is heart breaking and destroys my confidence. I am shooting for 145-149 this time and I think that is way more sustainable for my lifestyle. I actually started last Monday at 174.7 (ouch I can't believe I just typed that), but weighed in today at 173.0. So It's better and I am trying to just take it a day at a time.
01/12- 173.0 Today I am working from home to help home school the kids. These are the hard days for me, because I am right next to the fridge all day long. We have not had our kids in school since last March, so working from home a couple of days a week and then the office the other days is the solution for right now.
01/13 - 171.8 Nice, finally a nice little drop. I have been back on the wagon for about 3 weeks now and this is the first nice big drop I have seen. At work today and have my meals planned and will stick to it.
01/14 - 169.8 I am not hating this weight, lol. I am sure it will bounce back up tomorrow as I did not eat dinner last night and only ate a small lunch. I will eat normal today with food that I have all planned out.

1/12 - 131.2 - Hello Round 138! I’m ready for another good set of 10 days. The kids and I played outside for a good chunk of yesterday and I hope to take them for a hike today. I also held my plank for a full minute this morning! It may have been a mistake to try and do it after a 30 minute strength workout, but I managed the full 60 seconds.
1/13 - 130.8 - Wasn’t able to get the kids outside yesterday; it was grey and raining and despite my encouragement they wanted to stay inside. So we painted and read stories and played... they even played well together which is a minor miracle. I played some Beat Saber last night to make up for the lack of a hike - that game is so sneaky! The better you get, the harder you are working and the next thing you know it’s an hour later and you’re shaking and dripping with sweat. Took it easy this morning with just some yoga and my plank challenge.
1/14 - 131.0 - DH and I pulled out a board game and played last night - one we haven’t touched in months. It was great fun, but getting back up to speed meant we stayed up later than we planned. I also ate a serving of Goldfish - I accounted for it in my calories, but I’m not used to eating something so salty that late now. It meant I woke up feeling very tired and heavy from the start this morning. I tried to work it out with some dance, but just wasn’t feeling it. I’m glad I still got a workout in, even if it wasn’t up to my usual calorie burn. I also did my plank - I was trembling for the last 10 seconds but held on to the end.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/11 …..207.0 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/12 …..207.0 ….. I traveled yesterday and am THRILLED that (so far) nothing extra showed up on the scale. Because I woke up earlier than usual for the travel, I fell asleep much earlier than usual last night. That meant no late night eating. It really helped!
01/13 …..207.2 ….. This is just a fluctuation. Yesterday I actually worked to make sure I got in my 10,000 steps. I ended with 12,123 steps. Before retirement, the steps came pretty easily and automatically on my fitbit during work. Now….. well, I will have to work for them.
01/14 …..207.0 ….. This is more like maintaining than losing. I made a nice keto version of stuffed green peppers for dinner and shared with a friend during movie night. However, my late night snacks were not huge, but not good choices. Self-sabotage! Today is a lazy day. I’m not getting in much movement. I feel very tired but I will watch my meals and snacks today. I just need to see something, ANYTHING. Come on 6!!!

My Goal is to get my 10,000 steps in daily (like I used to!)
January 01 – 10,053 steps. I mean business!
January 02 – Traveled. Only 7308 steps.
January 03 – 10,571 steps. Travel plans were cancelled so I fit it in.
January 04 – 7120 steps
January 05 – 10,725 Took down Christmas décor so plenty of activity!
January 06 – 8341 steps. A little short.
January 07 – 6873 I was forced to charge my fitbit in the evening for awhile. I’m not sure how many steps were not recorded but I likely did not hit the 10,000.
January 08 – 6808 steps. Company all evening yesterday (until 1:00 a.m) A friend, but uninvited and unplanned so lots of sitting from 4:00 p.m. on.
January 09 – 9052 steps. Not many in the evening due to unexpected guest that stayed until 11:00 pm. Otherwise, a very active afternoon.
January 10 – 6792 steps. Movie night with a friend. Feet up during late evening. I should have worked harder during the day.
January 11 – 5531 steps. Travel Day, not much movement.
January 12 – 12,123 steps. Worked for them.
January 13 – 8580 Steps. Fell short due to another movie night.9 -

***Not weighing in every day, it's just not good for my mental health to see the fluctuations. Will weigh on each Monday.***
1/12 - So far so good. Worked out yesterday, ate within calorie goal, hit my protein macro, drank a lot of water. Today is not a workout day which will make it difficult to stay within my calories but I've planned out the day and am determined to stay on track.
1/13 -
1/14 - I travel 2-3 days a month and yesterday was one of them so I wasn't in here. But I planned well (packed healthy food) and stayed within calories although I did not hit my protein goal. I also did not get my workout in BUT I did play 2 hours of pickleball in the evening so I'm counting that. Hungry today but making good choices so far - the 3:00pm hour is the hardest for me, almost there. Looking forward to dinner - tuna steaks and sauteed kale, yum!

Haven’t had a chance to post an entry from my lap top today, so just doing one from mobile now(will fix the post tomorrow)
1-14: 115.8 I have had the hungry horrors today but I think it’s hormonal and tiredness (quite a stormy combo). I haven’t gone over my maintenance calories but it would have been super easy to do so. Breakfast was an egg with leftover roasted potatoes, high fiber toast with cream cheese and ebtb seasoning, and an orange; then I had a fiberful bar; an apple later in the afternoon; then dinner was gnocchi with a small bit of pesto and then tomato sauce; I finished dinner and then had a 1/2 cup roasted purées pumpkin with a tiny bit of maple syrup and like a 1/2 gram of butter. I think I should have tried to get more protein in my day but carbs were what I wanted.
Exercise was good today, I did a 45 minute yoga video, a 20 minute spin bike ride, and finished the work day with a 2ish mile walk around the block. I want to do at least 30 minutes on the bike tomorrow and yoga in the morning.9 -
Round 138
Please join us! Starting on 01/12 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 138
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

01/14 165.4 ~ {Steps 17,460} ~ It was a gorgeous day outside so I got a marvelous walk in this afternoon plus the day few by so snacking didn’t play a factor. Tonight I’ll definitely get some yoga in.

My goals are EARLY morning workouts and NIGHTLY YOGA
Long term goal is to get back to maintenance by SUMMER, JUNE!
January goals
1 Log everything!
2 Morning walks (except Sundays)
3 Yoga (3 to 4 times weekly)
4. Minimum sweets (work them in my calorie goal)
5. Control boredom and emotional eating
6. Keep negative thoughts at bay!8 -
Last round was a struggle against snacking, this time the plan is: to stick to the plan!
SW:195.5/88.7
CW: 192.9/87.5
Next goal: 189.5/86 (BMI: 29.8)
Aims:- Experiment with different strategies to mitigate stress eating.
- Don't restrict KJ further to "make up" for overeating - it just creates more stress!
01/12 = 88.7
Another hot day yesterday, I followed the pre-planned menu but snacked off-menu all day too and predictably went over KJ again - these repeated overs are adding up - must figure out a way to cope with the heat better!
Yesterday I had a spicy soup for lunch that felt stabilising and nutritious, maybe a solution is fasting on soup till the evening on hot days? At this point, I'm willing to try just about anything to stop the endless munching
01/13 = 88.4
A cool change yesterday so I didn't get to try out my "Hot day soup fasting" technique but I was able to stick to my menu and limit snacking
Under KJ but only just as we're still making our way through the leftover Christmas cookies -from now on I will only buy/make enough treats For The Day Of and save myself the stress (and cost) of leftover treat foods.
01/14 = 88
Theme for today: 1980's Training montage
No Retreat, No Surrender!
01/15 = 87.5
The scales were indecisive about this sweet .5 drop but I'll take it!
I'm moving bookcases and large furniture around today and need every deterrent I can get not to reward my hard work with sugar.
