Day/Weight/Comment
1/12 - 170
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.
1/15 - 170.0 stood on the scale a while thinking it would go back to 169.9. It didn't. lol Don't mind staying stable. Drops-&-Pops usually mean a whoosh is coming for me.
1/16 - 170.5. Always, always have the pie a’la mode!

Day/Weight/Comment

01/12- 134.6. Increase from yesterday, probably due to "sampling" two new (high-salt) recipes I tried out yesterday. Grateful for the slip, though, as it spurred me to search out this support/encouragement/accountability forum! Good luck, everyone!

01/13- 134.2. Got some stretching and indoor walking in yesterday! Goals for today: move for 20 minutes, drink at least 8 glasses of water, and stick to today's pre-tracked food plan.

01/14- 132.4. I met all of yesterday's mini-goals! And my body has been releasing some of the excess salt (and therefore water weight) from a couple of days ago. I got about an hour of walking in, along with some calisthenics. Goals for today: move for 25 minutes, drink at least 8 glasses of water, and stick to today's pre-tracked food plan! Let's have a great day, everyone!

01/15- 132.6. Didn't adhere to the pre-tracked macros, but still ended up within my calories. Walked for an hour, 20 minutes of calisthenics. This (small) bump up would usually make me waiver in my efforts (as silly as that may sound to some), so this morning, I am especially thankful for this group, and especially thankful for the long-term users who have posted previous rounds where they either didn't lose weight or even gained a bit, but kept going and went on to achieve their weight and health goals. Thank you very much!!
Today's goals: move at least 25 minutes, stick to pre-tracked menu, and drink 8 glasses of water.

Day/Calories/Comment

1/12 - 1489
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.

1/13 - 1939
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.

1/14 - 1820
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!

1/15 - 1817
Yesterday was lovely — mid-40s and sunny, so I got a nice walk in. This morning is cold with “wintry mix.” But it is January in the American MidwestI feel a bit puffy this morning — we had gyros yesterday. I ate just the meat, veggies, and tzatziki, but I think it was a tad salty. I also splurged on a cranberry-orange muffin my neighbor brought over. I met my meditation goal yesterday. Planning a light food day today plus some writing, reading, knitting, meditating, and who knows? Maybe housework? Nah! ❄️🥗🧘🏻🍳🧑🏻‍💻🧶📖❄️

1/16 - 1839
It’s a beautiful, cold morning, trees laced with snow. Beautiful to look at, slippery to walk on. I think I’ll make a nice soup or vegetarian chili. Have a lovely Saturday, all!

quiltingjaine · January 2021

@Tesha231 During my fast I have black coffee, tea, or water with nothing added. I also allow myself homemade chicken broth and had 1.5 cups during this last fast. There are many other “fasts” also. I did a 3 day egg fast to break a plateau and also did a “beef and butter” fast for several days because I love those foods! I’m not doing keto, I’m more low carb, higher fat most days. The carbs I do get are from healthy vegetables-salad ingredients, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and spinach. My husband’s favorite vegetable is CORN which I used to eat but don’t really like so haven’t missed it at all.

I recommend reading Life in the Fasting Lane co-authored by Jason Fung, MD as well as his book The Complete Guide to Fasting

01/12 165.6 ~ {Steps 17,554} ~ I’m really focusing on my morning walks and nighttime yoga. It’s helping my sleeping habits.
01/13 165.6 ~ {Steps 10,063} ~ Today didn’t go as planned but on the bright side, I didn’t get my emotions, yay!
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.
01/15 165.4 ~ {Steps 12,356} ~ Fantastic day except at night I decided to make hubby homemade biscuits and my night time snacks started unfortunately. Hence the scale increase..

Goals for this round:
- Get outside with the kids at least once a day
- No snacking after dessert at night
- Continue the beginner plank challenge

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.

1/15 - 130.6 - Cold, grey, foggy morning - I really hope it burns off since I feel completely “blah.” We ordered delivery last night - I cut my cheeseburger in half and got fruit as my side (plus snuck a few fries from the kids) which kept me nicely in a calorie deficit. I had some technical difficulties while trying to exercise this morning (which contributed to my bad mood) so it was nice to see the drop on the scale.

1/16 - 131.4 - *wince*. Time of month starting and just a rough day mentally led to way too much snacking yesterday, and this is the result. I need to find something else I can do for a quick mental “pick-me-up” - I don’t want to keep using food as a treat, but my other go-tos that help me feel better (reading, coloring, bubble bath) all require time and solitude. And those are things in very short supply for me. I did HIIT and core workouts this morning, and continued my plank challenge. I’ll try and fit some Beat Saber or a hike in today too to try and make up for yesterday.

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.

1/12 118.5 Popeye’s chicken and a biscuit. I had a headache all day yesterday and the spicy chicken helped for awhile. 🤷‍♀️It’s all good.
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.
1/14 117.5 Still fasting - currently at 38 hours. I feel great. Mammogram today-yippee.
1/15 118.0 My fast lasted 43.5 hours and my macros were good at the end of the day. No TMI x 2 days seems to be the big issue with fasting for me.
1/16 117.0

1/11 Plank 1:50
1/12 Minimal walking
1/13 Walked with neighbor. Wore 12# backpack which changes my posture and prevents lower back pain.
1/14 Steps
1/15 Tried to do plank early but pain in my leg stopped me.

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!!!

01/15 …..xxxxx ….. Woke up to a friend banging on my sliding glass door to get in before I was even up. Made coffee and drank a cup or two before I remembered I hadn’t had a chance to weigh. I did well yesterday with my diet until late at night. A mini binge so I am a little afraid of the scale.

01/16 …..207.0 ….. Clearly the choices are keeping me from major gaining, but not helping me to kick-start this journey again and start losing. I am going to have to tweak, and I know it is in the snack dept. I slept over 6 hours last night, which is unheard of! Yesterday was a 100% rest day. Actually went to bed at 6:45 pm to watch tv until my usual late. Did NOTHING all day, just because I’m retired now and can! Felt tired, really, and listened to my body. Slept in later than usual getting in the extra hours and feel better today for it.

01/17 …..xxxxx …..

01/18 …..xxxxx …..

01/19 …..xxxxx …..

01/20 …..xxxxx …..

01/21 …..xxxxx …..

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.
January 14 – 7184 Steps
January 15 – 5545 steps on a rest day.

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).
01/15: 159.6 (I know I have a gain, but I am ok with this. I had a really good day yesterday with food choices; I ate a lot of nutrient dense foods. I got my step goal in as well as a workout. My gain is because I had popcorn and a few slices of cheese last night before I went to bed. This always happens when I do that. I am quite happy with my overall day yesterday).
01/16: 159.5 (I am surprised this is down. Yesterday was a very stressful day and I ate poorly; chips, chips, cheese, chips, you get the point. But, I waited to weigh myself; I weighed in the early afternoon instead of the morning after I finished a longer fast, so that could be why I am down. I am sure if I had weighed in the morning, it would have been bad. It’s afternoon now and I have eaten well, hopefully, the end of the day will still be good. I want to get back to what I weighed on the 14th……sigh………I did reach my step goal and took a nice walk yesterday.)

Last round was a struggle against snacking, this time the plan is: to stick to the plan!

SW:195.5/88.7
CW: 191.3/86.8
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!

Day/Weight/Comment

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.

01/16 = 87
Dessert was stewed rhubarb and cream with some cake yesterday (which had been pre-planned as an extravagance) but if I had known I'd get to 87 today... hope I can hold on to this loss for the rest of the round.

01/17 = 86.8 .Halfway!
I tried some Shirataki noodles last night -put them in a stir fry, (Shirataki are translucent, gelatinous traditional Japanese noodles made from the konjac yam -wiki) it was quite nice and

01/14 62.0kg new low for this year. Gym done and going to stay focused.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 138 (round 70 for me ) I'm in for another round it's obvious to me that I need this to help me! Thank you GrandmaJackie a brilliant champion in these unprecedented & unsettled times, for continuing to set up these challenges.

Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back closer to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !

Challenge for this round will be to get back into 131s for the end of the round. I think that is reasonable given that I was there the last round but the two last days it went a rye! Stick with good habits; be mindful of what I eat & drink, try to keep it in moderation, keep walking, no binges; remember keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/12 133 – starting to come back down again, good controlled day yesterday. 7.9 miles walked /jogged yesterday. Strange day exercisewise; had to stay in for a parcel to be collected anytime between 9 & 5, with hindsight I should have got out at 7, but didn't think of it until later!! So jogged in place for 20 mins midmorning & then after delivery man picked up the parcel – midafternoon – Imanaged to get out for an hours jogging/walking. Still to complete my 5K from 2 rounds ago, hope to make it this week!
01/13 132.2 – 12.12 miles walked yesterday including 25 mins of continuous jogging.
01/14 132.2 - 11.15 miles walked yesterday (no running as rest day)
01/15 131.6 - 9.57 miles walked/jogged yesterday including 25 mins continuous jogging. Happy with how the round is going & getting back close to the lower weight of the last round.

01/16 131.6 – 14.61 miles walked yesterday – didn't plan to walk this far! Dropped car off for service other side of town and walked a meandering route home intending DH to take me to pick it up after work. I had donned my running shoes & had just got out the door when the garage phoned to say the car was ready, spontaneously I changed back into my walking boots and walked back to pick up the car, hence no run yesterday.
01/17 133 – 9.81 miles walked yesterday. I know the uptick is due to high sodium in bacon, prawns & cheeses together with last nights pizza- 96 calories & 15g fat over. Today I'm not going to let that send me off track with a chocolate binge like I did last week!! Numbers'll soon come down again !!

Previous days

01/12 116.2 I drank more water than normal yesterday and the tacos for dinner were a touch salty, so I’m not worried about the blip up 😊. The tacos came out yummy, I used a ton of aji dulce peppers I froze back in October. So, I think it ended up being equal parts peppers to ground beef and one onion too. Today’s breakfast will be more bone broth with an egg or two, two slices high fiber toast with butter, and an orange. My snack/lunch will be Greek yogurt, sesame cashews, sliced banana and chopped apple. Dinner will be left over tacos from last night, but I’ll also make a cabbage slaw to go with the tacos. Looking forward to a solid day of healthy but yummy food!
01/13 115.4 It’s been a busy day so far but my food is well planned out.
01/14 115.8 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.
01/15 116.0 The hungry horrors were so much better today! I started my day with 3 scrambled eggs with a slice of American cheese and .75 oz sharp cheddar, two slices of toast with about 2ish tsp butter(the scale wasn’t cooperating so I estimated the butter, plus a small orange. I’m sipping on a spin drift seltzer now and might have a fiberful bar for a snack if they aren’t all gone. Then, dinner will be Thai takeout but I’m going to get something veggie & lean protein based and have some rice with it. I’ll just accept any of the water weight from the salt. I love Thai food too much to give it up completely.
I slept better last night than I have for a couple weeks, so I think that helped make a difference in the way I feel today!

01/16 Didn’t post
01/17 Not sure if I want to weigh today. TOM started yesterday and was super crampy. Dinner was a bit salty, so my face is feeling a little puffy today. I might try to drink some dandelion tea to help the puffiness and just get plenty of water. I made whole grain pancakes yesterday for breakfast and they tasted like apple cider donuts because instead of milk I used apple cider. They were so tasty and reasonable calorie wise as well! Not sure what I'll be in the mood to eat and do activity wise today.

01/14 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.
01/15 Did a 40 minute vinyasa yoga video this morning and a 40 minute spin bike ride. Planning to go for a walk in a bit.
01/16 Did not post but managed to do a 35 minute yoga video but that was it for activity.

Made a low sugar cheesecake today. Put in extra lime, which worked really well. It is worth fitting it into my calories.

Took my son to the waterpark, and made the mistake of trying to keep up with him. So many stairs. I will be feeling this in my thighs and knees for days.

16/1 114.2kg
I've heard that water weight goes up after strenuous exercise, so I am putting this bounce down to that. I didn't sleep well as my knee was really sore. I tried to keep active today without overdoing it again.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/12 176.2 After the swoosh, I was expecting a bump up. Glad I didn’t get one. Had a really good, controlled, food day yesterday and was able to stick with the No Junk Food Challenge.
01/13 175.4 Yay! Back to where I was before Mom’s illness. No Junk Food Challenge = Ate mostly vegetables and protein and that seems to work for me. Snacked on berries.
01/14 174.6 Things are falling back into place now. I’m hitting my stride again, so hopefully I can make some progress now. My IF ended up being 18:6 yesterday because I just wasn’t hungry at work until then. I didn’t set that as a goal. No Junk Food Challenge =

My cravings are much less now and my snacking consists of berries and a mandarin orange primarily.
01/15 174.2 This No Junk Food Challenge hits the mark for me, especially coupled with the exercise challenge and IF. Fasted 16.5 hours and walked in a fasted state. I’ve done a really good job this week with food choices and I think that has made all the difference with my cravings…which are gone—let me knock wood really quick!
01/16 173.6 Continued success with the trifecta of No Junk Food Challenge, our exercise challenge, and IF of 17:7. I’m feeling the best I’ve felt in a long time, too. Hoping for a short hike in the Smokies this afternoon after babysitting my DGD.
01/17 174.4 This always happens after a strenuous hike in the mountains with so much elevation change, so I was expecting it. It was a lovely, snowy day in the Smokies though, and I thoroughly enjoyed my day. IF—16:8

JANUARY EXERCISE GOALS:
EXERCISE BIKE—100 miles
WALKING—50 miles (outside or with walking workout videos if weather is bad)
HIKING—at least one hike in the mountains during January

01/12 2 miles with Leslie Sansone. It was COLD, with a rain/snow mix most of the day. I thoroughly enjoy her walking workouts. I should do them more often!
01/13 No formal workout yesterday—last meeting didn’t end until 8:30 pm and I was whooped. Hoping to get in a walk at lunch and a bike ride tonight. Need to be halfway to my goals by the morning of the 16th.
01/14 10-mile bike ride which puts me over the halfway mark for biking (a couple days early). Gotta focus on walking so that goal doesn’t get out of reach. Right now my average is up to right at 2 miles/day left. I can do that easily if I will just carve out the time. So, there’s my motivation!
01/15 4.35 miles of walks and walking videos—2.35 miles walk at work followed by 2 miles with Leslie Sansone
01/16 1.28 miles walking and 9.09 miles on the exercise bike

Day/Weight/Comment
01/12 129 (This is high for me: yesterday was a bad day before I decided to join this challenge, also it’s my TOM. I am so happy to be here with you all. I have gained 10 pounds since the summertime. I am really struggling and I need to turn things around and start exercising more. I am looking at short term goals instead of the full picture so I think this challenge will help. The first half of 2020 I was in my maintenance range. I want to get back.) 1345 calories/3.3 miles walking
01/13 127.6 Happy about the weigh in. I was hoping for a nice drop the first day back on track.
01/14 126.2 Yay, binge weight and TOM weight is coming off. It will probably slow down. Focus is needed.
01/15 127 Up some unfortunately. Not a bad day yesterday but more calories than I should have.
01/16 126.6 Yay, I’ll take it. Lots of improvement this challenge so far. I have stopped stress eating 2,000+ calories and getting back gradually to where I was before. Progress. I need to put in more 1200 calorie days though.
01/17 127.4 Bummed out. Maybe from a salty meal plus I had another 1800 calorie day which is not good enough.

*Sigh* I had a really good day nutrition wise yesterday, so I was expecting some change in the scales today. Well at least I haven't gained anything. I do realize that water weight fluctuations are normal, but I was hoping that I would be able to go below 90 kg this week. I have a rest day today, so I am only going to stretch for half an hour. For the past two days I've had dinner pretty late, so I will try to be finished with eating till 8pm today. Hopefully this will have some effect on the scale.
