OSW: 237.8 (Nov. 2016)
OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205
Since my previous 10-day average was about four pounds higher than my last full challenge about 6 weeks ago, I just need to keep shaving off the holiday pounds till I get closer to 211. Then pick up where I left off.
I have a trip planned for May that will be a good inspirational milestone.

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.

02/01: 214.8
Three pounds lower than one week ago. More work to do.
02/02: 214.4
02/03: 214.2
I am fine with inching down bit by bit. I just have to be fine with the “ups” that go along with it.
02/04: 213.4
I did overcome some “de-railing thoughts” yesterday. Of course de-railing thoughts are what lead to de-railing actions. I have been reading about that in our group lately, and I totally relate! One of my favorite thoughts is “You have been good all day; you deserve a little reward snack.”
02/05: 214.4
Chamber of Commerce event last night may have enhanced my salt and calorie intake yesterday. It was a “virtual” event preceded by a delivery of goodies to the participants at their office. Usually, this annual in-person event is an all you can eat buffet / open bar. Like so many things in the past year, this was something less. Good for me. Ha!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/01 -130.6. Got some good sleep yesterday, stayed within all my nutritional goals, took a long walk in beautiful weather outside. Let's see what we can do this round!
02/02 -129.6. Missed my 10:30 pm bedtime, but met my other goals yesterday! I'm back to where I was at the end of round 138. I'll try again for my bedtime goal tonight-- the difference in the morning is very noticeable!
Also, *loving* all the posts so far...I am so grateful for this group! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie 💕
02/03- 130.2. Missed my bedtime goal *again*! I also ate near maintenance calories, with a higher proportion of carbs than I usually aim for because of: oat milk!! I love drinking almond milk, and tried oat milk...not realizing one serving of unsweetened oat milk packs about **four times** the calories of my unsweetened almond milk (30 cals vs. 130 cals/cup)!!! Delicious, but learned my (rookie) lesson: read nutrition labels!
Honestly, though, still feel good and positive this morning. Let's go get them!
02/04- 128.4. No idea where this number came from! I felt good yesterday and was consistent. Walked and met nutritional goals. Failed at my bedtime goal. I am **seriously** going to try again!!
02/05- 128.4. I ate closer to maintenance calories yesterday, going over on my protein. Lifted some heavy (for me) weights. Still didn't go to sleep on time...womp, womp. I really can't believe it's the same number as yesterday. I feel like it's someone else's weight!

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)
Round 139 (14): 130.2 to 128.8 (-1.4 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Walk at least 1.75 miles with the dog each night
- Export my data from the various programs I’m using and combine into one spreadsheet for analysis
- Decide on my “reward” for hitting my goal weight!
2/1 - 128.6 - Hello to February and a new round! I did a great HIIT workout this morning, but I think it’s making me hungrier than usual. I’ve stuck to my meal prep though. It’s a gorgeous day here (so sorry to those getting buried with snow!) and I’ve already taken the kids out once. I hoping to get outside again this afternoon.
2/2 - 128.4 - My daughter declared yesterday afternoon that it was “Car Day” and we HAD to make a Car Day cake for her little brother (who is obsessed with cars and trucks.) This is exactly what I want my kids to see and experience - that all foods are available as long as we eat them in moderation. I’m not going to ruin her fun by declaring we can’t have cake in the house because Mommy is on a diet! So we made a yellow butter cake with vanilla buttercream, and she went crazy with the sprinkles and asked me to write “Happy Car Day” on it. We tried to get little brother to do some sprinkles but he just tried to grab handfuls of cake. Then the whole family had small pieces after dinner and it went back into the fridge - was I tempted to eat more of it? Absolutely, but I didn’t and I didn’t go over my calorie limit. I’m calling yesterday a win.
2/3 - 128.0 - Huh. I had a hungry day yesterday, so I let myself eat at maintenance - I figured it was better to eat more of my regular food than risk bingeing on cake because I was starving. I fully expected to be up a bit today just due to the extra food. Not complaining though! I’ve made some progress on my round goals: I’ve found a new loop to take on my evening walk with our dog - 2 miles total. I’ve also ordered my reward outfit! It’s a pink rose floral crop top and burgundy leggings from Athleta. I’m super excited about it and really hope they’ll fit. The leggings are back ordered and won’t arrive until March, which is fine because I won’t hit my goal weight for a few more weeks anyway.
2/4 - 129.4 - Hungrier than usual the past few days? Check. Bloating? Check. Cramping? Check. Weight spike? Check. It’s hormonal, expected and no big deal. Going to keep pushing forward and focus on sticking to my meal plan.
2/5 - 129.2 - Still bloated; weight still high. Did a fitness boxing workout and some Ring Fit this morning - helped a little but I’m still feeling blah. I’ll try and drink plenty of water today and remember to be gentle with myself.

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 days02/05 Did not weigh. I’m taking it very easy today due to some personal health stuff that has me just wanting to rest. I’ll be ok and it should get better in the next day or so. Food has been decent today and plan to eat at maintenance.
02/01 Did not post or weigh.
02/02 116.2 Lost the water weight which is good. I’m trying to treat my body nicely this week because my dad got admitted to the hospital on Sunday night due to Covid and it was a stressful Sunday night convincing him to go be seen (he’s still in there but he’s doing ok and is stable). It took me calling him like every 45 minutes to see how he was doing and telling him not to mess with dehydration due to gi symptoms. He’s a rather stubborn French Canadian.
My food has been good yesterday and today despite being tired and feeling out of it. I have to pick up our csa tomorrow night and I’m looking forward to the celeriac that is supposed to be in the box. I’ve never tried it and can’t wait to try a new veggie! Today’s breakfast was high protein & fiber molten chocolate cake made in the microwave and cottage cheese with defrosted blueberries and raspberries. I was so full from the cake that I was able to save the cottage cheese and fruit for a snack this afternoon. Dinner will be marinated jerk split chicken breasts, roasted butternut squash and purple potatoes. I’m also excited for a colorful dinner with the purple potatoes and the orange squash!
02/03 Did not post
02/04 117.2 So my dad is home from the hospital and sounds a lot better today. Thank you everyone for the kind words for my dad!
Yesterday’s food was pretty good over all. We ended up getting Thai for dinner but I got masaman curry with veggies and beef. The beef seemed pretty lean and their were more peppers and onions versus the starchier veggies that are know to be in that type of curry. I had some sticky rice on the side too. The good thing I did with the curry was that I scooped the veggies and protein into a bowl so I wound up having less of the caloric coconut milk.
Today has also been good food wise. I’m happy about that because I wasn’t able to get a spin bike ride in and just did some yoga this morning. I decided that for the Winter/Early Spring I’m going to focus on maintaining because I just feel like I need to/it’ll be better for my psyche. Then as the weather starts to warm up and the produce in our CSA is less starchy, it’ll be easier to make more filling meals that are less dense calorically. Have a good night, I’m off to go watch ER with my husband!

02/01 Did not post. Did yoga in the morning and an active recovery 30 minute spin bike workout. My hamstring has been bothering me so I didn’t want to push it like I usually do.
02/02 I am grateful for my health and am able to show my body some love by exercising and eating relatively healthy for it. Did yoga this morning and plan to do a 30 minute spin bike workout.
02/03
02/04 I love my coworkers! I did a 75 minute yoga session that was very relaxing and not as intense as 75 minutes sounds.
02/05 I love my husband and am so grateful he is who he is. I was able to do some yoga this morning and it helped my current issue a touch. I might repeat the same video tomorrow morning because it really got into the hips and was good for the pelvic floor muscles too. People, take care of those pelvic floor muscles. You’ll never know how much you appreciate them until you have issues with them.

02/02 - 146.5
02/03 - 147 - I've really been eating well this past week, so I'm a little frustrated with my weight. Higher stress levels have kept me from losing in the past, so I'm going to attribute this stuck weight to that and keep plugging along.
02/04 - 146 - Tomorrow morning is my husband's surgery to see if the bladder cancer has spread any further than what was originally found. All hugs, thoughts, and prayers are appreciated!
02/05 - 145.5 - The surgery went as well as we could have hoped. The biopsy results should be in next week, but the Doctor has a very positive outlook. Thank you to everyone here for the support!

Love for myself: Eat well under Goal, and get my exercise in.
Love for others: Following Covid guidelines to drive down transmission rates[/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!😷
February 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.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- 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.

The biopsy results should be in next week, but the Doctor has a very positive outlook. Thank you to everyone here for the support!
Will continue thinking of you and your husband. Praying the Doctor's positive outlook is correct and biopsy results come back with nothing but good news3 -

Okay team, let's do our best out there!
02/02 = 85
Guess I'll be 85 forever and ever, and ever andeverandeverandever.
02/03 = 85
How... Predictable!
02/04 = 85.2
Somethin's gotta give.
Taking a break of staying at the low end of my KJ budget, yesterday and today I'm going to eat up to my KJ limit (maintenance), will see if that kicks the scale into motion (note to self: this is not permission for a sugar overdose!)
02/05 = 85.8
LOL! well that is a change, not the one I was looking for but then again I ate all the way to 2000 Calories *eye pop* yesterday and I know that is waaaaheeey too much for me - I just didn't want to stop eating carbs and am paying the price.
Back to a "normal" range today, I've had my fun.
02/06 =85.1 Halfway
How happy I am to be back to the number I was complaining about day before yesterday
Sometimes I think my journey is only 30% change and 70% becoming grateful for the blessings I have in my life, like finding I have time to dedicate to myself, accessing good food, rediscovering the soundness of my physical self, and growing to accept the encouragement of friends.

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.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 140 (round 72 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 – get into and stay in 120's? I've not been that low since before 2018! 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! Run 4 x during the 10 days.
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

@SheilaBoneham - my husband is always amazed how with just a pair of knitting needles I can turn a ball of wool into a garment, to him it seems like a miracle each time!!
Yes the column formatting annoys me too; quite often I've tried editing my post to correct it, but it makes no difference!!2 -
Good morning! The weekend at last!! My sleep patterns are still a bit off. I woke up in a start this morning thinking I'd heard the doorbell... but checking the clock I saw it was 5 am, and looking outside everything was as quiet and calm as you might expect it to be at that hour. A doorbell, what a strange thing to dream about!
