...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.

@musicsax your walks are amazing!
@tesha231 - eek, and month without a scale. That would be a challenge for me and I would have a scale in my suitcase. But, if nothing else, track thoroughly and if you are being accurate, then trust that the results will be there once you get home. I'm heading to Florida for 10 weeks in 2 days. Yes, I will have a scale......
@_JeffreyD_ - we all have plenty in common!
@Kmort009 - sorry about your injury. I hope you are better today
@SheilaBoneham - congrats on your vaccine
@beagletracks - are you ok?
@chloeguo - congrats on second vax, and some claim that feeling sick is a sign that your immune system is really kicking in to protect you
@cpanus - "total rest day", sounds awesome6 -
I have decided to start food shopping months in advance, so will most likely have to incorporate a higher carb content (as I eat a mostly vegan diet and have limited freezer real estate), it might be a bit rocky to start with weightwise but I have faith that I can adjust eventually!
SW 186.9 / 84.8
CW: 185.6 / 84.2
Next goal: Lose 10lb by Valentine's Day Challenge
Aims: Focus on sleep- Try to sleep 5 hours a night - time it.
02/10 = 84.5
02/11 = 84.8
154g carbs, about double my norm, will take it easier today. 5hrs sleep.
02/12 = 84.2
68g carbs, and 5hrs sleep - two days in a row

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 141 (round 73 for me ) I''ve proved 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 back into and stay in 120's? 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

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:JGM10D ~|~ Round 141- 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!
[*] 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.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
02/11 - 204.4. A good start. Kept my calories under goal on Wednesday, though didn't manage to get in a walk as work was really busy.
02/12 - 203.2. Keeping this in perspective - probably just stabilisation of water weight. Plus I'm planning an indulgent weekend. Not been able to go to the cinema for a year, so bringing the cinema home, complete with big screen, popcorn (with butter, I'm afraid) and sweets. So by Monday, this loss may have evaporated a bit. But For now I'm enjoying seeing the drop.

Love for others—Random Acts of Kindness and other things I love:
2/11 Love a beautiful day in the middle of winter! It was 64 here yesterday, definitely felt like spring (although I know it is fleeting) so I got in a good walk at lunch. Amazes me just how much that helps me be more productive in the afternoon.
2/12 Love that I am in Chapter 77 of @SheilaBoneham’s book and there are so many viable suspects that I don’t yet have this “who done it” figured out. ;-)

Day/Weight/Comment
02/11 - 146
02/12 - 146.5 - OK, it's time to get serious about getting back down to maintenance weight. I pulled out the food scale this morning and I'm logging everything. After 3 years of daily weighing and losing/maintaining my weight, you would think I would have it down by now, but the reality is that without using the food diary and the food scale, I give myself too much leeway in the amount and what I eat. That works fine when I weigh 142 or 143, but not when I'm trying to lose several pounds.

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-> 117.4 ->116.6 -> 116.8
Goal weight for this round: Maintain in the 115-117ish range.
Another goal: Actually check-in each day and weigh daily.
Previous days 02/11 116.0 Had a .8 whoosh overnight, so I’ll take it. I’m planning to eat at maintenance today but it’ll be spent on good for me foods like a couple more ounces of nice and lean pork tenderloin and roasted veggies. I went into the office today and spent the day with my manager and our clinical nurse manager. It was nice to connect in person and we were able to get part of a project done too!
02/12 115.4 I’ll continue to take these whooshes. It has inspired me to not get takeout tonight and just find myself something more manageable at Trader Joe’s for a “Friday night easy dinner”. Dinner last night was so filling for me that I didn’t even have room for everything I had portioned out. I ended up choosing butternut squash and potatoes to roast with the pork tenderloin plus a bit of quinoa too. My husband was craving Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner so he got that, but I stuck with the pork tenderloin and he is having some of the pork for his lunch today. I was tempted with takeout but after realizing that I didn’t want a 1,400 calorie dinner it was easy to pass on.

02/11 Grateful that everything is rolling along for our basement renovation and found out today that it shouldn’t take as long as expected. We are still putting in some cushion with our timeline, but this is all very exciting!
02/12 I’m grateful for my physical therapist that I’m heading to see in a few minutes. She has made such a difference for me! I did a quick 20 minute yoga session this morning and plan to do a 30 minute spin bike ride this afternoon.

Day, Weight, Comment
2/11 – 199 – 11,116 steps, 40 min aerobics yesterday. All I want to do today is lie in bed. I’m not exaggerating when I say I got out of bed so I could weigh in and check in for this challenge. Thanks, everyone. Now I’m off to walk the beagles. Fasting today and focusing on self-care. Hope to start a book my brother sent me.
2/12 – 197.2 – 10,535 steps yesterday. Feels good to still be in Onederland (at least for today!). Fasted yesterday, so this weight is likely to increase tomorrow. Focus today on eating mindfully. Fighting a little hormone- and pandemic-related depression, but doing fine, @SModa61 – thanks for asking!

R141 - Last full round before heading to FL for a month with no scale. Need to plan how to stay on track and continue to make progress without a scale in our condo--BUT with a beach across the street. Round 140 was eye-opening as to how quickly progress can rebound.
Day/Weight/Comment
02/11 - 169.4 I don't mind pops-&-drops, but I gotta get a handle on this scale creep. At least it is early in the round. 9 more days to figure it out.

@beagletracks - I can relate to the pandemic depression, but surely things have got to get better soon? Spring is round the corner - the birds were checking out our nesting boxes this morning and although it still hasn't got above freezing today, the sun is shining which always make things look brighter. Chin up my dear and I hope your hormones settle down soon, thinking of you and sending positive vibes.8

Going to try to avoid pitfalls. (pitfall is an interesting word that I use without even thinking what it literally means.) How do I avoid pitfalls? By keeping my eyes open.
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.
Round 141
Month/Day: Exercise / Comment
02/11: 213.6
When I see some of you friends whose weight does not fluctuate up and down but moves steadily down, I just wonder how! My “system” seems to be like a semi-truck trailer that is either loaded or unloaded. I cross my fingers every morning when I go through the weigh station, hoping I am not over the legal limit!
I know… I am weird.
If I had to weigh the same every morning it would be impossible. We are all different, but we have common ground don’t we?
