SW: 190.0/86.2
CW: 187.3/85
Next goal: Lose 10lb by Valentine's Day Challenge
Aims:- Experiment with different strategies to mitigate stress eating.
- Don't restrict KJ further to "make up" for overeating - it just creates more stress!
01/21 = 86.701/27 = 85.2 Halfway
01/22 = 86.2
I slept in and it's warm already
It'll be Hot tomorrow (and the whole weekend) so I'll start trialing my "Liquid fast technique" tomorrow, today I'll just try to eat normally and keep a short rein on snacking.
01/23 = 86.2
The plan for today is porridge, juice, and soup -no solids- during the daylight hours, to hopefully curtail my tendency towards mindless snacking whenever the temp gets much above 38/100 degrees
*fingers crossed*
01/24 = 86
BMI Goal!
Daylight liquid fast seemed to help with snacking but I well and truly over-indulged in carbs in the evening, I don't think I can call it a perfect strategy... in an effort to reduce carb cravings I'll try up-ing my protein for the daytime meals today.
01/25 = 85.8
Hopefully a cooler day today!
01/26 = 85.5
Finally a significant cool change ahhh... maybe today I can peel myself off the furniture and actually DO something LOL
Only halfway? Feels like this round has gone on forever!
Today I get to put together some planters (I gave myself for Christmas) YAY!
01/28 = 85
Love a whole number!

SW:99.2 kg
GW:65 kg
CW:97.6 kg
Goals
- train every other day
- GW for the challenge: 96 kg
- Low carb
- reach my daily step goal (Garmin sets it higher every day)
Day/Weight/Comment
01/22 - 97.1 kg - reached my step goal and signed up for more PT sessions yesterday
01/23 - 96.8 kg - reached my step goal yesterday and look forward to PT today
01/24 - 96.5 kg - going in the right direction... reached my step goal, enjoyed my PT session and got a 4k HIIT run into the books yesterday
01/25 - 96.3 kg - reached my step goal by doing a 6k walk
01/26 - 96.5 kg - no idea why it went up again... I reached my step goal by doing a 1h walk/run on the treadmill and stayed within my calories
01/27 - 96.9 kg - again up... I think it's because I ate more carbs the last few days because I reached my step goal and stayed within my calories again yesterday... so hopefully just water
01/28 - 96.4 kg - finally the right direction again. Maybe I reach my goal by the end of the challenge. Got my steps in and did a 5k run

Recent Back Story:JGM10D ~|~ Round 138- 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
- 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare

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.

29 yo female
5’2” Small frame according to my wrist circumference
SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110
Previous rounds: 125.2 -> 122.8 -> 121.6 -> 121.2 -> 119.8-> 119.4 -> 117.8 ->116.6 -> 117.2 ->117.2->114.8 ->116.8 -> 116.4 -> 114.0 -> 115 -> 115.4 ->115 ->113 -> 113-> 113.8 ->114.6 -> 113.6 -> 115.8-> 116 -> 115.6 -> 117.6 -> 115.8 ->118.2
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 days01/26 116.8 Did not post. The day got away from me. Food was good though!
01/22 117.4 Our scale has been weird lately along with my salt intake, so I don’t really know how much I actually weigh aha. I wish I had one of the old school scales that you were able to visually balance and then step on it. That would be ideal.
I hit Trader Joe’s today after PT and got myself some staples(I won’t list the staples) and a few fun things to try: Pork and ginger soup dumplings, coconut cream whole milk Greek yogurt, and artichoke, kale dip made with Greek yogurt, and a couple different types of crackers to go with it. I plan on having the dumplings tonight with a big salad if my husband wants take out. I’ll grab him take out and make myself the alternative. The dumplings are only 270 calories for a box of six. I’m excited to try them because I’ve read great things about them! The dip, crackers and yogurt will be my snack/mini lunch today. Happy Friday everyone!
01/23 116.6 Last night I ended up getting takeout with my husband, but I made it fit calorie wise. I was a little over but not enough to wreck my entire week. I decided that weight loss for me isn’t sustainable if I don’t make takeout fit into my life because by Friday night, we need a break from cooking/dishes/etc. We got Buffalo Wild Wings, he ordered what he wanted, and I got a black bean burger but omitted the ranch dressing (saving 170 calories) and selected no salt on my fries (saving tons of sodium). I also finished the wine I had in the fridge from last weekend (1 large glass worth~9 or 10 oz). Those little changes made a difference for me and I’m even down somehow from yesterday morning. The body is so weird… but I’ll take it.
Today, breakfast was two slices of high fiber toast with cream cheese on it and two mini dark chocolate peanut butter cups melted in (I had a chocolate craving and this stretched the chocolate flavor and I also stirred in some inulin fiber too), two eggs, and an apple cut up. It really hit the spot and clocked in at around 700 calories but it fits within my day(30 g protein, 58g carbs, and 37g fat so it was pretty balanced). My snack will be the artichoke kale dip with Akmak crackers and a fiberful peanut butter bar. Dinner will be panko crusted chicken breast with a large salad topped with cranberry goat cheese, sesame honey cashews, and raspberry vinegar.
01/24 Didn’t weigh today, just didn’t have a chance to before I drank and ate. Food was good today and I had a couple of non scale victories the past 2 days. Yesterday and today, I was able to resist fast food when given the opportunity to have it. Instead of getting myself a frosty last night I sliced up a banana and popped it in the freezer for a bit to have as a snack to go with my dinner. The sweetness and texture of the partially frozen banana did the trick for me. Today I just didn’t want it even though my husband did.
Today, I ate at maintenance because I was just hungry. Food was healthy overall but looking at the diary, the protein was a bit low. I feel like I definitely need to bump Breakfast was a failed attempt but still edible version of high fiber pancakes with a maple yogurt sauce instead of pure syrup, dinner was peanut noodles with whole wheat spaghetti topped with two eggs for protein and an orange for dessert, then a snack was akmak crackers with 4 tbs of the Greek yogurt artichoke kale dip.
01/25 117.4 Have a solid day of food planned. Breakfast will be a high protein smoothie with banana, cocoa powder, inulin fiber, oat fiber, plain egg white protein powder, Greek yogurt, and topped with sesame honey cashews plus some toast with butter on the side. Not sure about my snack. Dinner will be ground pork on top of bulgur with peanut sauce, carrots and peas.
01/27 116.4 Wow, it has been a busy couple of days at work. My food has been really on point though and I’ve been getting a lot of exercise in as well. Didn’t have any discernable symptoms from the vaccine this weekend, so that was also a relief. I was only tired on Monday because our kitty decided he wanted to meow alllll night. The joys of having a cat with kidney disease (apparently it causes them to meow more often but his condition is stable and hasn’t progressed at all since he was dx’d a few years ago).
Dinner tonight was roasted chicken legs, roasted butternut squash, kohlrabi, and bulgur. It totally hit the spot tonight. I also got some wanderlust earlier today and started looking at hotels in Myrtle Beach because we want to go back there this summer. We went in 2019 and had a lot of fun just relaxing on the beach and walking to the arcades/the boardwalk at night.

Goals: Yoga every day! Spin bike at least 5 times per week with at least one 45 – 60 minute ride per week, two 30 minute rides, and two 20 minute rides.
01/22 50 minute heart opening vinyasa yoga video and I plan on jumping on the spin bike in a few for a 20ish minute ride. Then, I’ll do my afternoon walk when I’m done with work.
01/23 I started my day with an hour yoga video and then a killer 30 minute spin bike video. Then, I’ll have a bit of a walk later today when have to run into the city to get vaccinated.
01/24 My husband and I went for a walk at a nearby reservoir clocking in at 1.5ish miles and then I did about 15 minutes of yoga. My body was tired today, so I listened to it and rested it a bit.
01/25 I plan on doing a 30 minute spin bike video and some yoga today. Didn’t have a chance to do yoga this morning because I needed sleep instead.
01/26 Did 30 minute ride and a 45 minute yoga video I think it was.
01/27 Did a 45 minute core focused yoga video this morning and a 60 minute spin bike ride today. The bike ride got extended a little because I talked to my boss during it for like 10 minutes, so I just kept moving my legs even though I was talking. The music for the ride was super fun and had a bunch of random throwback songs she put together for a 30th birthday themed ride for herself. I also went for a 20ish minute walk at the end of my work day.

Yes, I said I'd shrink it if folks like it. I was doing it before work this morning and ran out of time. It will be about the same size as the others have been.4 -
Let's see if this shrunk. I changed the wording a little, too.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Yes, I am still here after a 5 week stay in a Sunnier Climate. I did do some walking, but unfortunately too much of it was walking to the kitchen. 😊 Time to pull up my big boy pants and get some discipline.
Seriously, I had an exceptionally good time with family and worked remotely for some of that time. But that lifestyle will cut my life short if continued.
01/26: 217.4
This is disappointing, and a harbinger of the hard work I need to do. I was a good boy yesterday with calories, but kind of salty.
It was so windy (and cold) yesterday, I didn’t have the heart to go for a walk.
01/27:215.8

I finished last round the same as I started but my average weight was down. My aim this round is to get both down.
OSW 88KG
RSW 62.9 kg
Average last round 62.7 kg
01/22 - 62.55kg. Nice to start with a loss but even nicer to end with one! Gym done
01/23 - 62.4kg. The slow creep down begins. Rest day today
01/24 - 62.7kg. Yesterday quite high calorie. Today too
01/25 - 63.0kg. I expected this after yesterday. Back to the gym and back to a deficit.
01/26 - 62.9kg. Not the best but not the worst either. Gym done.
01/27 - 63.0kg. I was disappointed until I checked my calories for yesterday which were on the high side. 4 more days to make a difference. Gym done.
01/28 - 62.1kg. Nice one. Gym done.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 139 (round 71 for me ) I'm in for another round as I need this to help me keep on track! 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 ! Long term goal is to get and then stay under 130; then full maintanace starts and dare I say it is in my sights?
Challenge for this round – dare I hope to get into 130s for the end of the round? I've not been that low since June 2019! 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!
Hoping to complete 5K run by end of this round.
Keep calm – we're all in this together! Wash hands, be kind, continue to follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus. Be positive for the vaccine – its here and inoculation has started! Take it when offered.End of round 69 134.2 lbs

01/22 130.2 – Whooowhoo !! Knock me down with a feather ! I didn't expect that! I had set my goals last night daring myself to get into the 130's during this new round and here I am on day 1!! So my amended goal is to stay within the 130's and maybe sneak down below 130? The later is a big ask with these whooshes the last 2 consecutive days. 8.86 miles yesterday including 17 minutes running. I really struggled yesterday with the running: I was aiming for 30 minutes after doing 28 & 29 on Monday & Tuesday respectively, but after 15 minutes I was pushing myself, oh well, try again today.
01/23 130.2 - 10.03 miles yesterday including 23 mins running – looks like I've got to build my time up again! Good food day, it's helping that I pre log food for the day at breakfast tweaking it slightly as the day goes on.
01/24 131.6 –that's last night's pizza tea; in calories but high in carbs, the last day of this round is a Sunday so I will need to work hard this week to keep numbers down for that last day. 9.45 miles walked yesterday with DH, as we are still in lockdown it was pounding the pavements in the local area from home – again!!
01/25 130.8 – coming back down again. 5.83 miles walked with DH in the snow we woke up to yesterday morning, such a winter wonderland and so exhilerating, made those same old pavements (due to lockdown) seem much fresher and different!! Good day food wise, all within limits. It's Burn's night so I have got haggis for dinner; we're not Scottish, but being in lockdown everyday is Groundhog day so I thought I'd make an effort to do something different. There'll be no pipping in the haggis, but we might stretch to a small nip of whiskey!! We don't normally participate in alcohol in the week so this will be an exception!
01/26 131.8 - ? hopefully normal fluctuation. 9.65 miles walked yesterday again in the snow and ice. Haggis, neeps & tatties all delicious last night, and within calories, 10g carbs over. Giving blood later today, it will be nice to have some face to face interaction with someone other than DH ! Lockdown making me crazy!!!
01/27 130.8 – better. 9.51 miles walked yesterday. NSV – my skinny jeans no longer hug me, they are quite loose; not sure I like that, I do like very snug jeans! Am I never satisfied? Looks like I might need to buy smaller.
01/28 130.2 - 10.38 miles including 31 mins running, soooh chuffed with this !! Another NSV – found another pair of skinny jeans same size as yesterdays but different make and come up tighter on the waist which used to push my middle up to make a muffin top – now a perfect fit and no muffin top – yesss!! Had notification yesterday that I had reached my 8 year anniversary
; I joined MFP when I reached my goal weight with WW, it was a free way of keeping me on track in maintanance, I maintained that weight for 2 years before loosing a further 21lbs, I am 5lbs above that lower weight now but to be honest I am more or less where I want to be, maybe just lose another couple of pounds and then stay under 130.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/22 174.2 Did well with food choices all day long. I was hungry yesterday afternoon, but managed to snack on just berries and a few almonds and made it to the dinner I had planned without blowing it. Continuing my No Junk Food Challenge this round. It has become a staple for me. I think I've only messed it up one day in the last 11 days and it is helping. IF yesterday was 18:6.
01/23 174.6 My husband’s birthday dinner and a little dessert was last night. I did really well though, only ate half my dinner and less than half dessert. We enjoyed ourselves and I didn’t go overboard, so I’ll call that a win! IF was 16:8.
01/24 176.6 Birthday splurge continued, but it stops today! Late night snacking didn’t help and will make a meaningful IF today very difficult. But, I will narrow my eating window today so I can get back on track. I am meal planning this morning for the rest of the week. That always helps me, too.
01/25 175.2 Did well food wise yesterday, but I’m catching something that includes a cough/chest congestion, so didn’t do very much “exercise.” Have a good IF going today with a reasonable start time last night, so I’ll see how I do today. Happy Monday, everyone!
01/26 175.4 Ate out unexpectedly last night, but made good choices and did 10 miles on the bike to offset. Did 19:5 IF. Meals are planned for today and will stick with them!
01/27 175.6 Well, not really sure what’s happening here. Stay the course!
01/28 176.2 This is the result of carbs this week coupled with not very much exercise. When feeling bad on Sunday, I made my mother’s potato soup because it always made me feel better. Even though I fit it into my calorie count, I think the carb load is to blame for the gain. This is how fast I creep up if I eat like a semi-normal person! Let's see if I can get back to where I started.

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
1/22 1-mile walk on my lunch break
1/23 9-mile exercise bike ride
1/25 1.08-mile walk with the pup
1/26 10-mile exercise bike ride
1/27 1.46-mile walk at lunch
1/28 I really need to get it together and hit these goals. They are so close, but I’m just in a funk. Didn’t do anything formal yesterday, so I still need 3.55 miles of outdoor walking and 17 miles on the bike by the end of January 31. I CAN do it; the question is “will I?”
TOTALS for January:
EXERCISE BIKE: 83.14 miles
WALKING: 46.45 miles
HIKES: 3—completed on 1/2. Another on 1/16. Another on 1/18

Not sure what her idea includes, but I was thinking of writing down something I love daily, like gratitude. Example: I love my dog and her unconditional love when I have a bad day. Or I love my house that provides me shelter and comforts, despite all its issues.
Or what about turning it into a more positive outlook ? Counting blessings or looking at glass half full rather than half empty? I know I am guilty of thinking "woe is me" in this pandemic, wollowing in the misery of particularly missing our family that live so far away, I should turn that around maybe.
That's kind of what I'm going for! I complain about the dog a lot (she's a pain more often than not) but she's always loving on me whether I like it or not and I need not take that for granted. This house is literally falling apart (last night, for example, we smelled what was comparable to the smoke after blowing out a candle - we already have a ton of electrical issues and that smell scared us into believing there's a potential electrical fire waiting to happen. Owners refuse to do any work to the house so unless it burns down or its bought to be flipped, we must deal with it how it is --- yes we are trying to look for another place but nothing available yet that allows dogs) but I need to be grateful to have a roof over my head and all the comforts and protection the house provides. Flipping the switch for February (:
Sorry if my original post sounded so Debbie-Downer, not at all my intention.
If you call the fire department and tell them you smell something burning, they come and search your house from top to bottom. My father in law did that years ago because he could smell something electrical burning but couldn’t place it. It ended up being a bad surge protector multi outlet cord. He didn’t want all the trucks sent but they did send them with sirens and lights. In the end it was worth it. I’m not sure how the fire departments work in your area, but I highly recommend calling if you smell something weird like that again because you really don’t want to have the house burn down. It might also push the landlord to do something about the problems.11 -
Thinking about the Love Challenge for next month, I will have a 10-day exercise goal, but I also just realized that February includes Random Acts of Kindness week (actually, the second round in Feb.). I think I'll incorporate that into my version of the Love Challenge.
