Round 139

Age: 39
Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 130.2
GW: 125

GW for this round: 128.5

Round 135 (10): 136.6 to 133.6 (-3.0 lbs)
Round 136 (11): 133.6 to 133.2 (-0.4 lbs)
Round 137 (12): 133.2 to 131.8 (-1.4 lbs)
Round 138 (13): 131.8 to 130.2 (-1.6 lbs)

Goals for this round:

- Finish the beginner plank challenge
- Complete my Apple Fitness challenge for January: Earn a total of 25,900 Move calories this month.
- Get below 129 lbs

1/22 - 130.2 - Starting this round at the same weight as the end of the last one. I’m happy that the drop held, but we’ll see about tomorrow. Friday is our family movie night and I’ve budgeted calories for popcorn and a drink, but it will still be a sodium hit. I did 45 minutes of cardio this morning and about 10 minutes of weights - I meant to do 20 but the kids needed me and I didn’t get back to it. I’ll just have to fit it in tomorrow.

1/23 - DNW - Not a great day yesterday. I don’t know the final calorie total, but I definitely indulged in too many snacks and sweets on top of the popcorn. Chocolate is my big weakness - once I have any I start craving more and then I start justifying to myself why “one more” is ok. Well, the damage is done and today is a new day. I’m not facing the scale until tomorrow though. I still got some exercise in this morning despite the kids getting up early, and just snuck in my plank while they had lunch.

1/24 - 130.8

1/25 - 129.6 - I’m sorry I didn’t get around to checking in yesterday! It turned into a crazy day where I didn’t get to exercise until the afternoon, so my morning weight was higher than usual. Our not-quite-two year old tried to climb out of the crib twice on Saturday, so yesterday we converted the crib to a toddler bed. Now I’m not likely to get any sleep for the foreseeable future as we try and get him to understand he has to STAY in bed at night. Oh, an he’s waking up at 5 AM, which makes my usual “get up at 6 and exercise before he wakes up” kinda problematic. Hopefully things will settle into a new routine soon.

1/26 - 129.8 - I wasn’t expecting the sub-130 weight to stick, so that was a nice surprise! After the initial fight (he was just so excited he didn’t want to sleep), my little guy slept all night and didn’t get up until 7! It let me get a good workout in and hopefully I’ll have enough energy to keep up with both kids today. I want to do some Beat Saber or Just Dance tonight too in order to get my calorie burn up or I won’t hit the January challenge on my watch.

1/27 - 130.2 - Super sore in my legs, shoulders and back this morning. I’m hoping that means I’m holding onto water which is causing the weight increase. It’s cold and rainy here too, so it’s tough to get the motivation to get up and move. Closing in on the end of my plank challenge - today was a light day but I’m feeling very confident that I’ll be able to do the full two minutes.

1/28 - 130.2 - Still holding right around 130. So hard not to get into my head when the scale doesn’t move, even when I KNOW I’m doing it right and my calories burned are greater than my calories eaten. I’ve considered not weighing as often, but I’m afraid that will make it worse rather than better. I have 4 more days (including today) to finish my Apple Fitness January challenge and I’ve got 3,170 calories to go. It’s doable but I’ll definitely need to add in some extra workouts to get there.

1/29 - 129.8 - I keep hoping for a drop on the scale each morning. No big change this morning - I did have to get up at 4:30 though, so that might have thrown things off. We also got pizza last night, so sodium and carbs were high. One day at a time - I’m in it for the long haul and the scale is only one part of it.

1/30
1/31

30 day beginner plank challenge! Goal is to be able to hold the plank for 2 minutes by the end of the month. Will be doing them in front of a mirror to confirm proper form.

Got this msg from Alex - MFP Staff...

Its because your post contains a combination of numbers or words that are commonly used by spammers, it happens sometimes when you post has a lot of numbers in it.

Don't worry though you just have to wait for a mod to approve your post, which may take a few hours.

I explained that most of the challenges are about numbers...sigh...

@UTMom81 @GrandmaJackie Thank you for the clarification. I agree, the camaraderie is inspiring and love how we are so supportive of one another, really helps on those challenging days. I love freedom of choice and respect whatever lifestyle that everyone chooses for themselves. I am not following a Keto plan and did not want to upset the applecart if that was the goal on this thread. Thank you both for your efforts and wishing each of us all the best on this journey!

tiabirdie56 · January 2021

@cpanus, SMH. That is so peculiar! It must be random selection. I have kept track of my daily water consumption for 3 years, on another thread. Its nothing but numbers and that has never happened to me.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/21 …..205.4 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/22 …..205.2 ….. I am inviting my friend over tonight (the one that always brings me high calorie foods without notice) for dinner. I am making low calorie / low carb shish-kabobs. This time it’s MY choice for the menu lol. My friend is a friend of 20 years. He is male and can eat things without gaining which just isn’t true for this female post-menopausal body! No matter how many times I tell him, he just doesn’t get it. Anyway, I hope to dip into the 204’s by tomorrow or the next day. Persisting……..

01/23 …..206.2 ….. A wonderful low cal/carb dinner with my friend. Then, late night pop-tarts with milk. Just don’t do it folks!

01/24 …..206.2 ….. Drats! Tired today. Slept 3 hours 47 minutes.

01/25 …..208.2 ….. An unfair weight for what I ate but I had little to no movement yesterday. A very restful day. Back on track today is my hope. Shocking scale has awaken me!

01/26 …..207.0 ….. I’m not sure why it jumped so high yesterday (I checked it several times) or why it reduced so much overnight, but I’ll take it as inspiration to get these numbers moving back down again. However, I know I am not as strong as I was early in my journey. I’ve got to work on the mind and spirit too.

01/27 …..206.6 ….. I am glad to see a drop but I must be honest. I didn’t lose nearly half a pound because I got in a lot of physical fitness or I watched my portion sizes. I didn’t drop because I carefully balanced my macros and made very informed choices. It was a very busy day with my time schedule and I ended up eating OMAD. That caused overall lower calories for the day and that is the end of the story. I’m glad to be a tad lighter today, but honestly, I still have so much to learn and to implement. I did get over 7 hours of sleep last night also. UNHEARD of for this 4 hour per night girl! I am Still on the journey of enlightenment overall.

01/28 …..207.6 ….. No TMI x3. We’ll see what the next 3 days bring. However, I don’t see me hitting my goal this round and it’s such a simple goal. Disappointed. Back to 4.5 hrs sleep.

01/29 …..207.0 ….. Somewhat better with TMI slightly cooperating somewhat. Today I am being brought Chinese food from out-of-town for dinner. Not the best thing at the end of the round, but I will try to stick to IF until dinner. I am pushing the water already.

01/30 …..xxxxx …..

01/31 …..xxxxx …..

My Goal is to get my 10,000 steps in daily (like I used to!)

STEPS REPORTED ARE FROM DAY BEFORE

01/22/21 10,238 steps.
01/23/21 7229 steps. Busy with dinner guest. I made a nice low cal/low carb dinner but not much activity.\
01/24/21 7123 steps.
01/25/21 4024 steps. Pitiful!
01/26/21 5869. I’m just not moving enough in my new retirement phase of my life. I must make an inside plan since outside is too treacherous for a fall-risk person like me!
01/27/21 4302 busy day but not with a lot of walking involved.
01/28/21 4103 steps. Lots of company today at home.
01/29/21 4706 steps. Wow. It’s pitiful really.

Round 138: 134.6 to 129.8 (-4.8lbs)

Goals for this round:
-at least 8 glasses of water daily
-pre-track as much as possible...and stick to it
-move at least 30 minutes a day
-asleep by 10:30!

01/22 - 130.8. I tried out a couple new recipes yesterday, which means more opportunities to "sample"...which would be fine, except for when it happens after I've officially finished eating/tracking for the day! An additional goal for this round (this is for my benefit, as I tend to forget): no new recipes that require testing/sampling!
Stairs, walking, free weights, and an online Zumba class yesterday. I'm not used to having so much energy! Definitely a NSV!

01/23 -132.4. Yesterday was a little rough for me, but thanks to so many positive examples on this forum, I decided to stick with the group and with my weightloss/healthy-habit-forming efforts. Thank you!

01/24 - 132.4. Staying consistent and plugging along. Walked and drank water and tracked. Busy day but got to connect with some friends via zoom. Did some meal prep today and video-chatted with long-distance family. Will try again for the 10:30 pm bedtime!

01/25 - 135. I am meeting my daily goals, including earlier bedtime, and I feel *so* much more energetic and stronger. Not sure what's going on with the scale, but I'll just finish out this round with my same approach, and potentially revise it for the next round. At this point, I'll continue weighing myself daily more as data collection and to help me stay accountable. Honestly, I felt great this morning...until I weighed myself. Which ultimately has been good for me today, as it prompted me to ask myself what my true motives are for this effort. Now I just feel too stubborn (and curious as to how this will play out) to quit!

01/26 - 133.4. I've got everything pre-tracked for today and will stick to it!

01/27 - 134. Honestly, no idea. But I feel positive about how I did yesterday, got some extra walking and calisthenics in, got plenty of water, and I've got my plan in place for today.

01/28 - 132.2. A little sore, which is a good sign for me! Accomplished all my goals yesterday. I'm tracked and set for today, currently walking indoors as I type this. Not much more to report!

01/29 - 133.2. Even though I'm enjoying my added strength training, I'm beginning to wonder if it's causing water retention and/or muscle mass gain, and therefore weight gain. Or, perhaps I'm not being as accurate with my food tracking as I think I am. I truly don't understand how this round has been so different in terms of weight loss than the previous round, when the main difference (as far as I can tell) has been adding more strength training! I also changed my macros a bit (though not my calories), increase the proportion that comes from protein.
Honestly, I'm tempted to put some of my strength training on hold as I work on getting some extra weight off, but I also am enjoying how strong and energetic weight lifting helps me feel...so I'm torn.
Goal-wise, it was a great day yesterday! I went to bed later than I hoped as I got sidetracked with some research, but I felt positive and strong.
Today is pre-tracked and set. We'll see what the next two days bring!

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
01/29 - 96.4 kg - not much happening with the weight right now but at least it stays the same... reached my step goal yesterday and looking forward to PT tomorrow
01/30 - 96.6 kg - this starts to get frustrating. I eat right, I move enough and still my weight goes up or does nothing at all. Reached my step goal although it was a challenge because it rained all day

@Beautyofdreams ...losing weight can make you feel vulnerable as well as elated, so yes unresolved emotions can surface. Congratulations of your weight loss!

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!

Day/Weight/Comment

01/21 = 86.7
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

01/27 = 85.2 Halfway
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!
01/29 = 85
I normally feel pretty satisfied with the KJ I eat, but I tried to go Low Carb yesterday and was so hungry and light-headed that I doubt I'll be trying again anytime soon, maybe it's just not for me (there's probably a right way to do Low Carb and obviously what I did wasn't it, will have to do some research next time

)

01/30 = 85
I think I see a pattern emerging with my whole number readings
I often spend multiple days as a whole number weight but I think it's partially due to the readings on my scales (the 5 kg markers are thicker again than the intermediate kg markings) might just have to suck it up and accept it until I invest in better/newer scales.

01/31
02/1 Valentine's day challenge weigh in

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

2021 Goal: <176.3/80kg
137 = 198.8/90.2 to 195.1/88.5
138 = to 191.1/86.7

JGM10D Round 139

Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home
You are SAFE at home
One word can change your attitude
☠️One cough can change your life☠️

😷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:

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.)

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

70 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...

...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.

The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

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.
01/29 - 62.4kg it's a blip bit it's lower than I started! 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
01/29 130.8 - 10.66 miles yesterday, including 31 minutes running. Good food day yesterday.

01/30 130.2 - 10.57 miles yesterday including my carried over Turkey Trot/Kick 2020 to the Wall 5K challenge.

Yeay !!! I actually did it, 5K in just under 34 minutes

continual running! As I finished, jumped up into the air and pumped the sky, the next record on Spotify to play was “Walking on Sunshine” and believe you me, I was and the sun was actually shining! So exhillerated!! Rest days now over the weekend walking with DH IF we can get a window in the forecast rain/sleet/snow! (Sorry display is so big - I couldn't shrink it !!)
01/31

KEEP SAFE EVERYONE

. Keep calm – we're all in this together!
