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.

Rnd 138 SW 117.5
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
1/17 117.5 I spent several hours yesterday getting a new phone. I got sidetracked and never read the messages so will catch up tomorrow!
1/18 118.0 Uptick could be from all of the bacon I ate yesterday, as @musicsax said the other day. Soooooo yummy!
1/19 118.0 The last 2 evenings I have been eating a little salt because I was having foot cramps. Today we are hoping to have a meal with the neighbor who is moving to Tennessee tomorrow.
1/20 120.0 Totally expected after Golden Corral and 4 times my daily carbs! Also up VERY early!
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.

I am not surprised that there was no change in my weight this morning. Last night I had dinner at 10.30 pm, since I had a very long and stressful day. I didn't want to end up with only 300 kcals for the day, so I made myself eat - not mad about all the cheese I could indulge in though ahahha. I also slept for less than 6 hours, not ideal. Hopefully I will see some improvement tomorrow, although it will probably turn out that I have late dinner again. Let's see..

***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!
1/15 - I’ve been so good and feeling like I’ve made a lot of progress so I did a sneak peek on the scale this morning - 136.2 lbs. Hmph. I thought it would be lower but I’ll let it go and let it be. Worked out today, hit my protein goal yesterday and am on track to hit it today. Will keep on keeping on.

1/18 -Weigh in Day - 135.8 lbs. I'm not great at checking in on weekends, just too busy here with the family around. But I stuck to my plans, ate well, worked out, etc. We did have sushi Saturday night and I overate AND it was full of salt AND on top of that my TOM started so I was a little concerned about weighing in today but overall, I'm happy with the number. Planning to play some pickleball today and will move my scheduled workout to tomorrow.
1/19 - Still on track, wish I could figure out why sometimes I am super motivated and sometimes I have none whatsoever. Will ride this out as long as I can. Played pickleball for 2 hours yesterday and worked out/walked on treadmill today. Drinking my protein smoothie and have a healthy dinner planned.
1/20 – Boy was I tired yesterday! Did not sleep well at all the night before and was just so very done by 6pm last night. But I stayed on track, got my workout in, stayed within calories. I did end up spending the last 3 hours of the day on the couch reading though 😊. Playing some pickleball tonight in the freezing cold. Only 1 day left, let’s finish strong!
1/21 -Weigh in Day to end the challenge.9 -
@Quiltingjaine I want to know if you actually did those moves, including all the facial stuff!
So I had to look this up to see what you meant @SModa61 and I was NOT ready for that. I had tears in my eyes
That escalated very quickly (and BF gave me some very crazy looks - he could only hear what I was watching)
Though I have done that tongue out move (Lion's breath or something like that) watching one of YWA's videos. I felt so silly6 -
The "Throes of Winter" are upon us. Dark mornings, overcast skies, warm beds and cold floors, being cozy and tucked away in the house seems like the optimal way to spend the day...But not the new me, Up and Adam! Lets get going! Last Challenge I basically went sideways. I did up my calories as I am approaching goal, I also have upped my weights in Body Pump class too. Honestly, not sure what I am doing- seem to have a lot going on and that usually never works well for me.
Goals
- Check into 10 Day Challenge
- Close all 3 Rings Apple Watch and Move and Exercise Minutes x3
- Tighten Logging of food for MFP- Measure everything and dirty the stupid dishes to measure my recipes and break them down

Day/Weight/Comment
01/12- 121.2 - Took my sleeping medication last night, did not sleep the night before and had massive migraine yesterday, quit pickleball after second game was becoming so nauseous. Feeling better this morning but stiff, hopefully will stretch before BSF this morning and play pickleball this afternoon.
01/13- 122.2 Out of the Blue..took me by surprise.
01/14- 121.0 Out of the Blue!!! Again! No Out to dinner, anything unusual.
01/15-121.6
01/16-121.0 Honestly so frustrated-Do not want to be TMI- But the elusive menopause is really getting to me and looking back may be adding to my frustration and not understanding what is going on with my body.
01/17-120.4 I am so hormonally screwed up and I am living in opposite world here! I read the Stickie on refeeds and thought I would try that Friday and Saturday- I just really felt I have plateaued. I did not go crazy but I took my daughter out for a Sushi lunch, had an almond biscotti at the car dealer's car wash, had a handful of chips with my glass of wine last evening- still logged everything and was just a smidgeon under. Shocked! Need to be prepared for a tomorrow pop up- but will be happy about today.
01/18-122.4 It seems I somehow did not post my yesterday rant - probably for the best- The predictable popup. Hormones getting more screwed up- Made an appointment with my Gyno.
01/19-121.4 This would seem normal, if all the other screwy stuff wasn't happening.
01/20-121.4 Still extremely hormonally screwed up, made appointment with doctor scared what recommendations will be. Feel so out of control of body right now.

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.
1/17 - 132.0 - Wrong way! I know it’s just time of the month affecting the scale. Hopefully I’ll be back to normal by the end of the round. Beautiful spring-like weather here this weekend - went on a 3.5 mile hike with my daughter this afternoon. Didn’t get to exercise this morning - though giving a toddler “horsie rides” is a pretty good core workout - but I did make sure to do my plank.
1/18 - 130.8 - I was relieved to see that number on the scale this morning - even when I “know” it’s just the time of month and it shouldn’t last, a little part of me is freaking out and thinking I’m going to regain every pound I’ve lost. I did my plank challenge plus strength and dance workouts on Fitness Plus this morning - now to stick to the meal plan today.
1/19 - 130.6 - I was hoping for more of a drop, but at least the number didn’t go back up. It was gorgeous weather yesterday, so the whole family got out for a nice long walk - today is colder and windy! Not sure about taking the kids out when the wind is this strong. I did 45 minutes of Beat Saber and a core workout this morning, plus my plank. Hard to believe I’m really able to hold it for a minute and a half now!
1/20 - 131.0 - Where did that come from? I do feel very heavy, tired and bloated today, but I can’t think of what I ate that would trigger this. Struggled through my workout this morning and really wish I could go back to bed, but that’s not possible. At least I’ve got a solid meal plan for the day and I’m excited to watch the inauguration (especially to explain to my daughter the importance of the first female VP).

Goal weight for this round: Seeing lower 115 or squeaking into 114 would be fantastic!
Another goal: Actually check-in each day and weigh daily.
Previous days01/19 Didn’t get a chance to post today but clocked in at 119 due to all of the salt and food this weekend. My day really got away from me!
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!
01/18 Let’s be real... this weekend was a bleep show food wise except for the whole grain pancakes. TOM caused me to be really uncomfortable and didn’t help me food wise. I did end up doing 30 minutes on the spin bike yesterday and a 45 minute yoga session. So, at least my activity is consistent. I’m a work in progress with food but at least 85% of the time it’s solid. The good thing is that I love healthy food, but I also love food that isn’t good for you all the time.
I also attempted a longer fast yesterday but that didn’t go so well and I realized I do best on the 16/8 15/9 style of fasting. Personally, I just get too hungry on the longer fasts and am not a happy camper.
I plan on making some soup today to use up some CSA produce that’s lingering around here. I’m thinking a potato, onion, and leek soup. I also have a head of cabbage that I’ll be making a big slaw with to eat as salad for the next few days. I also plan on making some apple sauce with apples we still have around. Tonight’s dinner will be the leek and potato soup with a little bit of steak on the side and the slaw for a veggie. Breakfast will be something healthy whether it’s eggs and toast or oatmeal with peanut butter and some other fixins…haven’t decided but I still have a couple hours to figure that out.
This morning, my husband and I both have the day off and plan on driving down to Newport, RI to get out of the house for a bit and to see a beach we haven’t seen (since I was a kid and he hasn’t ever).
01/20 116.8 Hopefully I can squeak out some of this water retention but I’m ok if I don’t by tomorrow. I’m starting to feel really comfortable in the way my body is and the past few days even with the water retention I didn’t “feel” it in my face and body. So, that felt like a bit of a win. I think the consistency with doing yoga and spinning is finally starting to transform my body a bit. I’ve noticed a few changes over all and makes me worry less about the number unless I can “feel” the weight change.
Dinner tonight will be take out because I am driving all over the place. Starting by driving up to Burlington to pick up our CSA, then stopping to pick up food, heading to dad’s to pick something up, then to my in laws to meet the architect to see what he can do to finish the basement/add a full kitchen & bathroom for when we move back, then heading home to Foxborough.
So I chose to get a chicken kabob dinner with my sides being mixed veggies and a garden salad, homemade pita bread and Greek dressing to dip.
01/21
01/12 Did a 60 minute yoga video and plan on doing a 30 minute spin bike video during my lunch break today.
01/13 Did a 40 minute Vinyasa flow yoga video this morning and a 45 minute spin bike workout during my lunch.
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.
01/17 I plan to do yoga and mayyyyybe a 20 minute spin bike ride. (Successfully did 30 minutes on the spin bike and 45 minutes of yoga)
01/18 I plan on doing a 45 minute ride this afternoon and yoga at some point as well. Only ended up getting the spin bike ride in and no yoga.
01/19 Didn’t have a chance to post. Did a 20 minute yoga video I think it was and completed a 30 minute spin video. Went for a walk after work as well clocking in at a little over 2 miles. My husband saw me walking when he was coming home from his fieldwork. He joined me on the walk to help him destress after a stressful day with zero hours of sleep the night prior (the poor guy woke up 8 times during the night which led to zero sleep for him).
01/20 Completed a 40 minute vinyasa flow yoga video and a 45 minute spin bike ride.

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!
1/17 - 1983
Met my meditation goals. Ate a bit more than planned. Took two 20-minute walks. I’m thinking of rearranging my office today — moving my heavy desk should be a little exercise! Enjoy!
1/18 - 1525
Meditation goals - ✔️ Calories - ✔️ No walk — I started, but we had “wintry mix” and it was slick slick slick. I did rearrange my office, including my big, heavy desk, so there’s that. I made really yummy no-bread salmon patties last night with an extra for lunch today. We watched Brittany Runs a Marathon last night — not as funny as I expected, but wow, the “fat girl” stuff hit home. Brought back memories of training for the half marathon I ran in 2017 and pumped me up to get back to training this spring. Maybe not a running half, but at least a 10K. But not on icy paths! Stay warm & healthy, all!
1/19 - 1281
Meditation & calorie goals - ✔️ Short walk + stretching and a little strength training. I believe my mindful eating meditation course is having an effect — I’m thinking about what I eat, how much, and - the biggie - why. I baked cookies for DH yesterday, but didn’t even sample. I thought about it, realized that wasn’t really what I wanted, and waited until later, when I had one square of 72% dark chocolate. I did have popcorn — which is about to become our state snack! — last night, which was within my calorie goal, but I’m going to work on changing that habit eventually. One thing at a time.
1/20 - 1820
Meditation goal - ✔️ A bit high on calories, but not horrible.short walk. All good! Even if my weight isn’t down tomorrow, I feel I’ve made progress this round. All good!

Last round was a struggle against snacking, this time the plan is: to stick to the plan!
SW:195.5/88.7
CW: 191.1/86.7
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 = 88.701/17 = 86.8 .Halfway!
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.
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
low KJ
01/18 = 86.8
Note to self: trust the process!
01/19 = 86.8
Sigh! The same again...
On the upside, I feel good about what I've achieved this round, I guess I'd be pretty fine with it if I was able to maintain this weight till the end of 138.
*peeks at the scale again* pfft! Humility didn't work either.
01/20 = 86.5
Y'all got no idea how happy this small change made a blurry-eyed me this morning LOL
If only I could appreciate other tiny victories as much
01/21 = 86.7
A surprise fluctuation? eh, what ya gonna do?
Catch you in 139!
Previously...2020 Goal <200lbs
133 = 205/93 to 200.6/91
134 = to 197/89.5
135 = to 196.2/89 Solstice
136 = to 198.8/90.2 Christmas and NYE

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.

01/19 165.8 ~ {Steps 12,402} ~ My husband and I went to our favorite park it was well worth the1 1/12 drive, even though we had to have lunch in the car!
01/20 166.8 ~ {Steps 13,136} ~ I don’t understand the hike in the scale, my sodium and calorie intake was good, oh well hopefully tomorrow the scale will drop.

01/12: DNW. Still quarantined while we wait for my daughters test result. My breakfasts are pre-made for the next two weeks. I got a milk steamer for Christmas and I've been making some delish healthy lattes at home. I also worked out last night for the first time in a bit and it felt great to sweat.
01/13 238.7. Nice to see the loss! This was really encouraging. I really love checking in here with you guys!
01/14 DNW. Long day of working at home with kids who have been hit with cabin fever. Pizza and wine for dinner and an early bedtime. Tomorrow is a new day ☀️
01/15 DNW. Happy Friday!!!! My Daughter's covid test came back negative so we're busting out of the house first thing tomorrow! Went a bit over calories but my average for the week was 1,554 and I'm super proud of that ❤
01/16 239.6. Scales are up a bit but trying not to stress it. I'm focusing on my calories and exercise. I just keep reminding myself that my body is not immune to physics - if I eat less and move more I will lose weight.
01/17 🤦♀️ forgot to check in but tracked
01/18 🤦♀️ forgot to check in but tracked
01/19 238.3 a loss today. I've been trying to notice and say out loud how i feel when I am eating healthy foods. I have more energy, notice when I'm full and feel less moody.
01/20 ate too much today - back at it tomorrow ☀️ the good news is that what feels like too much now used to be my normal.

My first round comes to a close. Managed to go in the right direction, and established good habits for logging meals. 8 -
Let's do this!
OSW 88KG
RSW 62.9 kg
Average last round 63.5kg
01/12 63.2kg not great but also not an issue. Calories and carbs were on target. Gym done this morning and I'm trusting the process.
01/13 62.8kg.all down is good! Gym done for the day.
01/14 62.0kg new low for this year. Gym done and going to stay focused.
01/15 62.0kg. A good day yesterday. Today is a public holiday here so I had a sleep in. Gym is happening around 9 am rather than 5am!
01/16 63.5kg from nowhere for no reason!
01/17 62.15kg I did not let the weight from yesterday derail me as clearly is was just a weird blip.
01/18 63.0kg...hoping its another blip. Lots of water and I should be good tomorrow. Gym done.
01/19 62.9kg not ideal but it has 2 days to go away! Gym done
01/20 62.55kg but it seems I forgot to post yesterday. Gym done and a short daily walk included.
01/21 62.9kg. Disappointing end to the round. Not sure why. I'll be back next round for some losses!
Loss this round 0kg
Loss on average 0.8kg which is better!7 -
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!End of round 69 134.2 lbsEnd of round 137 – 134 (1.2 pound up uhh!!)

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 !!
01/18 132.4 – 9.64 miles walked yesterday, number coming down as expected.
01/19 132.4 - 10.21 miles yesterday including 27 minutes jogging. Made some deliciously tasty spicy parsnip soup.
01/20 132.4 – 9.15 miles yesterday including 29 minutes jogging. Doubt there will be a window to get out to exercise today due to storm Christoff
Will throw myself into housework!
01/21 131.2 – wow a whoosh on the final day! Hurrah !! 6.9 miles walked yesterday managed to find a no/light rain window to get out . Really pleased with myself this round; a loss of 2.8 pounds (I was 1.2 pounds up on last round!) I need to take forward from this what I can achieve when I stick to the plan and not binge. I am also pleased with myself that I have (for this round at least!) managed to ration myself to a couple of Quality Street chocolates (Christmas leftovers) per day, usually one taste of chocolate is the trigger for a binge, need to continue with this training!
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE. Keep calm – we're all in this together!

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.

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
01/18 175I think this is salt. We had cheese and meat tray for dinner last night, but I ate hardly anything else the rest of the day, so we will see how much of this stays around.Hiking again today if the roads don’t get bad so this may go up again, but it won’t be from over eating.
01/19 177.4 Ate horribly yesterday—fast food pretty much all day while traveling. Going back to the No Junk Food Challenge today and the rest of what I know works.
01/20 174.6 There we go! Never got hungry yesterday, so didn’t eat anything at all until dinner. Just had coffee, hot tea, and water so ended up doing OMAD, and it paid off.
01/21 174.2 IF-19:5 Good solid round. Making good progress on habits (No Junk Food, continuing exercise, IF) and had the self-control to get right back on track when I had a really bad day of food decisions. That’s progress in and of itself!
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
01/17 10.82 mile hike (25,500 steps)
01/18 5 mile exercise bike ride
01/19 5.9 mile hike to Laurel Falls on the Appalachian Trail
01/20 1-mile Leslie Sandone video
01/21 1.14-mile walk during lunch break, then 8.05 miles on the bike after dinner
TOTALS for January:
EXERCISE BIKE: 64.14 miles
WALKING: 42.91 miles
HIKES: 3—completed on 1/2. Another on 1/16. Another on 1/18

Challenge GW: 126
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.
01/18 127 Yay, down some. 1700 calories yesterday and a workout so some improvement. Today I have 1300 calories planned: need to stick with it.
01/19 126.6 Weight is good today. Just a few days left to hit my goal: need to work hard.
01/20 127.8 Well that’s not cool. I ate too many calories yesterday. At least I should have a loss this challenge. Just need to have a perfect day today and finish strong.
01/21 126.4 Down 2.6 pounds this round. 😀
