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
- Enjoy Valentine’s Day and my son’s birthday without guilt
2/11 - DNW - Yesterday was a tough day - my son rolled a ball behind the couch and I bent down to get it at the same time as he jumped up to scream about it. The back of his head smashed into my face/nose. He’s fine, thank goodness, but I saw stars and was in a lot of pain the rest of the day. I didn’t move much; I didn’t cook (we did take out for dinner); and I definitely didn’t track any calories. I don’t know what the scale would be this morning, but I don’t think it’s representative of where I’m actually starting this round.
2/12 - 128.8 - NOT the number I wanted to see on the scale this morning. It’s ok, it’s temporary, and it will certainly be motivation to stick to my meal plan this round - no more extra snacking! Thank you to everyone who expressed sympathy - I’m doing much better. Still some pain, but nothing too bad. The little guy just has a really hard head! 😂
2/13 - 127.2 - That’s much more in line with what I expected for this round. Though i have a steak dinner and chocolate fondue planned for Valentine’s Day, so this may be short-lived. My NSV today was trying on the new jeans I just bought - 2 sizes smaller than my previous pairs! And they fit! I’ve been hesitant to buy new clothes since I’m not quite to my goal yet, and I’m debating going for another 5 lbs off after that - but I really needed these and it’s a great mental boost to wear stuff that fits. Grocery pickup today and meal prep tomorrow - white chicken chili for lunch this week, with chocolate strawberry overnight oats and zucchini feta dill egg muffins. I’m also trying protein powder for the first time, so I’m going to make energy bites with it!
2/14 - 127.4 - Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s going to be a day of indulgence and I’ll definitely go over my regular calorie allowance. We did crepes this morning and will be having a special dinner tonight. Since we can’t go out, I’m glad we can still do something special to celebrate each other. Got in a solid leg workout this morning and will do my regular walk tonight.
2/15 - 128.4 - Don’t know how many calories I ate yesterday, and I don’t really want to. It was a wonderful day; I managed to cook the steaks perfectly and we all LOVED the chocolate fondue. I know every day that I have a wonderful husband and amazing kids, but it’s still nice to have special days to celebrate. I enjoyed everything I ate and was present in the moment with my family - that’s all I ask of myself. The scale will sort itself out. Did a 30 minute HIIT workout this morning and will aim for some Beat Saber tonight.

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.- 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.

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!

Had a great time yesterday! homemade buckwheat pancakes and blueberry syrup followed by a trip to a garden centre *sigh* heaven!

I'm so excited to add it to the garden!

I'm good here still but contradicting weather reports are unnerving. No water until things defrost (friends are plumbers and checked for us), no internet. Still, as of right now, have power and hear.
10 day forecast says 41 degrees Wednesday but then they also put out another winter storm warning from Tuesday night to Thursday morning for much of the same weather. Not sure which will happen but taking precaution just in case.
I won't be back until internet comes back on. Saving my phone battery and our already-strained phone towers. Everyone else a part of this storm, stay safe and warm. Sending love and hugs to all ❤️ I'll be back hopefully soon11 -
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

Oh well, no point in dwelling too much on it, I'm moving on, today will effect the start of the new round, that's what I'm concentrating on right now.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/11 131.6 – a good start to the round, ate really healthily yesterday, aim to keep the momentum going for this 10 days. 9.2 miles walked yesterday; again in the light snow. Another cold day here -4C at the moment brrrh!! was hoping for a run this morning, but will have to see what the pavements are like later.
02/12 130.8 – 9.48 miles yesterday including 27 mins run. Another good food day & it shows on the scales. Keeping end of last round post in this rounds post to remind myself how I felt on that last day weigh in!
02/13 130.8 - 10.99 miles walked locally from home (as always during lockdown) yesterday. Cooked Chinese New Year meal; prawns on sesame ryvita to start, duck leg in hoisin sauce with black bean veggie stir fry for main washed down with a glass of Rosé & all within calories.
02/14 130.8 – 11.46 miles walked yesterday all in below zero C temps! ; 5 miles or so in I turned my ankle on a frozen rut whilst crossing a field, no pain no discomfort I carried on for another 6 or 7 miles incident free. However, later in the afternoon whilst watching the rugby the ankle began to ache, gradually getting worse as the day went on and by evening I could not bear any weight on it at all & the intense pain! DH had to prepare and serve tea! I didn't want to take painkillers as I am giving blood in a few days, just elevated it and very gently wiggled it a little. It was a little better before bed, but got up this morning and it is almost back to normal!! Can't believe it really ….. I'm going to avoid running for a good few days but will try out a gentle walk later this morning.
02/15 130 - 9.41 miles walked yesterday, the ankle held up so we just kept walking till the rain came!! Despite a home cooked delicious 3 course Valentine Sunday roast kept within calories.
02/16 130.6 – 9.97 miles walked yesterday.

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.
02/13 - DNW
02/14 - DNW
02/15 - 205.2 I expected this. I had a bad weekend. Entirely planned, as noted above. I was still within my target calorie deficit for the last week, so am hoping this is mainly water weight rather than actual gain, and that it will come off once I'm back to eating less sugar and salt.
02/16 - 206.8. Yuck. The exertions of the weekend really catching up with me. Had a good day on Monday - was under calories (although not that active). But my scale is showing water % at 55, which is the highest it's been, so assume a lot of water weight still from the weekend.

Welcome to second round of maintaining. Oddly, until today as I type my Round 141 intro, I actually did not realize that my weight dropped two pounds this round despite adding the 200 calories and having mediocre exercise. I certainly have some thinking to do. Right now, for this round, I will be continuing to only add the additional 200 calories as I am facing three travel days with little to know activity which might balance things out. If I drop further at the end of this round, then I need to figure out a better system for setting my daily calorie goal.
Past Goals- Get under 150
- Get under 145 by my birthday (10/26)
- Get to pre-COVID weight from Feb 2020, 142.4
- Get under 140 before Thanksgiving 2020,
- Not gain over Thanksgiving,
- Get below 135
- Lose min 2 lb during December
- Walk/run to Sombrero B for sunrise photo
- Maintain losses of time in Florida
- Maintain weight for round 136 which included Xmas as well as New Years
- lost the 1 token pound in round 137, but is was what I hoped for, so all good, right?
- passed the -1 lb goal for round 138, and actually passed UGW of 129

Round 141 – starting weight 125.2
2/11- 124.8 Very shocked. This is certainly a learning process
2/12- 124.8 Well this implies that yesterday was less of a fluke. Interesting to see that I lost weight last round and into this round despite having minimal time for formal exercise and having added 200 calories to my daily calorie goal. But I will say that lately my NEAT would be higher than typical for me. I have been closing all three apple rings without effort these past few days.
2/13- 124.2 Late post. Left the house early. We drove 693 miles today. Settled into the hotel with the two cats. Did my exercise at 5:30 before finishing packing and getting in the car at 7:30
2/14- No scale No time for computer and reporting in on the phone does not work for me.
2/15- No scale Started catching up with MFP community late last night
2/16- 124.4 Pretty amazing for sitting in a car for 29 hours of driving. I will credit this for having completely pre-planned and tracked my meals and snacks for Saturday, Sunday and first half of Monday. I also packed a cooler with strategic items and were lucky that for our overnight in North Carolina I did not have to drag the contents into our hotel room. Got here late yesterday afternoon, then had to unload my jammed SUV, then cook dinner and then headed out for a walk, which I have not been doing due to temps and road conditions in Massachusetts. 5.5 miles last night. Felt good, except that I’m not so sure about walking in 75 degrees and high humidity. Heading out to meet up with neighbors for a morning walkin in a few minutes…. Finally reported my weight again as I thought the 124's were some odd fluke.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/11 176.0 excellent food day; tracked everything and stayed under calorie goal; 5.29 mile bike, 1.36 mi walk
02/12 174.2 Yay!!! Lost back what I gained in Florida and then some. I’ve done much better on food the last few days, staying with lots of vegetables and protein, and tracking everything.
02/13 173.0 Finally, real progress again this round. Just hope I can keep it up. Celebrated Valentine’s Day last night with hubby and did just fine. Will celebrate with the kids on Sunday. Got in a walk at lunch yesterday as a break from work. Love it when I can make that happen.
02/14 173.0 Another really good food day, and got in an 8.7-mile ride too. No walk in the cold rain, but the bike felt great last night. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
02/15 173.6 I did pretty well on Valentine’s Day, food wise, and got in an 8-mile ride on the bike, but I did splurge a little on two chocolate covered strawberries and a half a serving of ice cream after dinner. But I did not use yesterday as an excuse to eat all the things! Will get back on track today so I can keep the 173.xx and make this a great round. Already have lunch packed.
02/16 172.0 This probably won’t hold. Didn’t eat much yesterday due to some stressors, but I’m happy about the weight loss for the day. Did 8.49 miles on the bike.

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. ;-)
2/13 Handed out a random compliment to a stranger last night, and again, faces just light up when you do that!
2/14 Loving on my family yesterday—putting together a Little Tykes Princess car for the one-year-old light of my life, and preparing to celebrate with daughter and hubby today.
2/15 Left a very nice tip with a Happy Valentine’s note to the server at dinner last night.5 -

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.
02/13 - 145.5 - I came home from work last night and my newly retired husband had made spinach lasagna and homemade garlic bread. I measured out enough to stay below maintenance calories, but I won't be surprised if the sodium and carbs hit tomorrow. Plenty of water today!
02/14 - 144.5 - I don't trust this number, but I'll take it!
02/15 - 146.5 - More carbs and sodium yesterday, so this is not a surprise. I'll probably leave the office a little early today to beat the winter storm heading our way. I hope everyone else stays safe over the next day.
02/16 - 146 - The scale flashed between 145 and 146, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow.

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, SModa – thanks for asking!
2/13 – 199.8 – 10,456 steps, 50 min aerobics, 10 min weights yesterday. EEK! Ate too much food and lots of sodium yesterday. Focus today on eating mindfully.
2/14 – 201.6 – 10,327 steps, 40 min aerobics yesterday. ARGHHHHHHH! This is frustrating. Really going backwards the last couple of days. Today is not going to be easy as it is Valentine’s Day. Focus on eating mindfully.
2/15 – 202.8 – 14,813 steps yesterday. Yowzers. Not good. Not good. I overate again yesterday in to the night. I’ve got to take control. Splitting headache this morning. Hoping to fit in a fast today but not sure it will be possible with my boyfriend off work. Focus on mindful eating, no eating between meals, skip dinner and/or breakfast if not possible to fast all day. Avoid/limit cheese, meat, sodium, added sugar.
2/16 – 199.4 – 10,031 steps yesterday. Made so much great progress at the start of this round. Trying hard not to feel defeated and give up. Really having to force myself to exercise today, but here I go. Focus on eating mindfully. Do weight workout today.

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.
02/12 -169.5
02/13 -167.7 persistent attack after the SuperBowl splurge finally paid off.
02/14 - 168.3 may all your hearts be happy today!
02/15 - 168.9 feeling bloated and mean. Several possible explanations for the pop, but I choose sodium. Ate lunch at a newly opened restaurant in our little town. (It was so good!) Only ate 1/2 a reg size Rueben, a few of my daughter's fries and the hub's green beans. Wish I could have logged to see to impact but impossible to really know for sure when someone else cooks. Plan to pound water today in hopes for a just as large drop tomorrow.
