@Honey_Pumpkin39 Way to go! Great work!!!
@musicsax Can't believe y'all are already on Phase 5 and 6. I am in 1b and had to go out of my county (drive 2 hours) to get mine. I don't know of anywhere around here that is as far along as you are in vaccinations. Somebody's on the ball where you are! Hopefully you get yours soon!3 -

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.
02/17 171.4 Finally some real progress this round, but don’t expect it to stay quite this low till the end. I’m sure there will be a bounce back up soon. Want to hold on to as much of the loss as possible, though.

Love for myself—100-Mile Challenge—Total So Far = 79.9
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.
2/17 I love my first cup of coffee in the mornings. I usually spend it with this group as I read the posts from the day before and create my own. Happy Wednesday, everyone!7 -

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.
02/17 - 145 - OK!

Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205
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?
02/12: 213.4
Happy Friday!
02/13: 213.2
This makes zero sense after last evening. Supper was a cheese and crackers plate, with a frozen pizza for the main course. I was pretty good prior to that.
On a side note, DW and I exchanged valentines last night. Our 45th (41st as married.) As I read her card for me aloud, something must have gotten into my eyes. 😊 Had to reach for a Kleenex. She laughed. Ha!
02/14: 214.0
214 on 2/14! Lots of comfort food yesterday. More coming today. DD in-law’s birthday happens to be Valentine’s day. Makes it easy on my DS! Ha!

I do not know why I have not posted this week yet. Well, I guess I do. Lots clamoring for my attention in the mornings. I can’t believe it is already Wednesday.

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.
02/16 - 168.1 Feels like 167.9;)
02/17 - 167.7 13-hour work day. 4 hours of that being new tool training. My poor rear.
Scale still popping and dropping all over the place. (I feel your struggle @_JeffreyD_ --I used to trend consistently down but also dread the morning weigh now) Hoping the round ends on a downward trend. Would really like to have a 6 in the scales's third position.

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.
2/17 – 200.2 – 10,188 steps yesterday. I think I’m fighting some illness. No energy whatsoever and fell asleep at 7 p.m. last night. At least I’m getting my steps in.

@beagletracks Is your boyfriend supportive of your efforts? My DH usually takes a friend to lunch on Wednesdays so I fast from after dinner Tuesday until sometime Thursday. However, our friend is in Hawaii with his daughter for who knows how long so today DH is going to breakfast 🤢 with another friend. DH isn’t sure fasting is a good thing so . . .2

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

2/13 LOVE THE DESERT Waking up at 4:30 isn’t great but a temp of 57 at that time is awesome. Only going to be 66 this afternoon so that’s great for the middle of February!

Got my first COVID shot yesterday. I feel fortunate to live in a city & state where vaccination is going smoothly. One of today’s projects is some behavior design a la Dr. B.J. Fogg’s Tiny Habits — I’m trying small changes to make snacking more difficult and small exercise habits easier. Excellent book, btw.
❤️ Looking through nursery catalogs and day-dreaming about my garden.
2/12 - 185 - 1412
That’s catch up from very high calories last round. It’s ok, will come back off. I’m planning an easy day, unless I feel better later — very woozy this morning, which I’m sure is from my vaccine. Good excuse to sit and read (not that I need an excuse!)
❤️ Watching Mike the cat as he watches birds out the window, and listening to his comments.
2/13 - 183 - 1572
That’s better. I don’t know why I went so nuts on calories last round, but I feel back in control.
❤️ Going through my yarn stash — the colors, the feel of the various fibers, the visions of what can be, the urge to start something new.
2/14 - 183.4 - 1226
Yesterday was a good day. Wishing you all a lovely Valentine’s Day!
❤️ Silly Valentine rhymes.
2/15 - 183 - 1270
Today I begin a two-week news semi-fast in an effort to lose some of the emotional weight of the past few months. My plan is to check once a day for updates on COVID and the weather and to ignore the rest as much as possible. I can’t help but think that tuning out the craziness and tuning in instead to learning something new and doing something creative with that time will cut into my emotional food snarfing. The last time I did this I found myself craving salads 🥗, steamed veggies 🥦, nuts🥜, and fruit 🫐 instead of sugar and salt. I’ll letcha know!
❤️ Listening to uplifting songs from singers whose voices fill my heart. This morning, I am lifted by Mercedes Sosa singing Gracias a la Vida (on YouTube).
2/16 - 183 - 1511
Everyone ok out there in snowland? I’m not sure what our official count was, but my 16 inch planters on the back patio are completely covered and snow in the yard is higher than the seat on my garden bench. Wheee! Our lovely neighbor blew off our driveway and sidewalks. I shoveled the walk to the front door and that was plenty. Be safe and warm out there!
❤️ Seeing bunny tracks in the snow.
2/17 - 183 - 1486
It’s very cold and very sunny here today — I’m enjoying the bright light and looking out at the snow from my cozy house. My attention to daily meditation & mostly mindful eating seems to be sinking in as I’m not snacking like I was for the past while, and I’m consciously enjoying what I do eat. I did another of my geeky calculations yesterday, comparing my weekly average calories to weekly moving average weight since last May and found that 1500 calories seems to be the magic number for me — through that whole time, despite the difference in my activity level, when my calories averaged below 1500 I lost weight, and when they were higher I stayed steady or gained. So I’ve adjusted my goal to 1500 max. for now. Hard to argue with long term data.
❤️ Having the tools to make record keeping, calculating, and planning easy peasy.

For sure we normally only get 1 or 2 falls per winter which more often than not is melted and cleared by the end of the day. This year we have had about 4 or 5 falls & they have not only lasted several days, but in some cases we've had additional falls before the original has melted and temperatures of -5 or -6C is colder than normal winters!
Seeing the news from our neighbours across the pond who are also experiencing out of character copiuos amounts of snow makes me wonder!!
What does it make you wonder about?
Climate change being a trend towards more extreme weather, which is less predictable/more erratic,
(one result is an increase in the number and frequency of hot days during the summer, hence the term "global warming" but the term is a bit misleading IMHO)
Exactly right. The earth is 2+ degrees F/1+C warmer that it was in the late 1800s, and most of that increase is caused by human activity. One of the forecast possibilities of further warming is weakening of the Gulf Stream, which carries warm water from the sw Atlantic northeast to Europe. As it weakens, scientists predict much colder winters for Ireland, the UK, and Scandinavia, as well as hotter summers. Don’t confuse daily weather with overall climate. There’s lots of scientific info on the web if you want more.6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
02/10 …..207.2 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/11 …..206.8 ….. Very pleased to see it lower on the scale after travel. Let’s hope it doesn’t show up in the days to come. I could have made better choices for sure.
02/12 …..206.0 ….. Sodium all gone. Long hair appointment today. That should limit my window of calories.
02/13 …..206.0 ….. I had a bit of a binge with my snacking last night. However, my meals were minimal and healthy so the scale was not too badly affected. I will try to have an extra well-planned day today although a work crew will be back. Happy with the scale today overall.
02/14 …..206.4 ….. A glucose drop last night for the first time in a minute. Some extra calories at the end of the day.
02/15 …..208.8 ….. WTH? OMAD yesterday with one meal, though a bit starchy. 2 ½ pounds? I have no idea…….
02/16 …..207.2 ….. Back where I started at the top of the challenge. I pushed a little extra water yesterday due to the obvious sodium disaster (?), but not enough. I will work on drinking even more today.
02/17 …..204.6 ….. Yay! All the sodium is gone most likely! I made some really good choices yesterday. And I kept my night time snack to a square of 85% cacao dark chocolate. No exercise to speak of as I had a full work crew here yesterday (expecting them back today.) But I will be grateful and thankful of what I can do. One of my crewmen brings his family. A wife and adult son. They sit at my kitchen table all day even though they live one minute from my home. The other night he worked until 11:15 pm. When I say they are here all day, I am not kidding. He is a very slow but thoughtful and precise worker. I did figure out a simple solution to my eating problem when so many people are here. I bought some high protein slimfast and I have been making myself a shake during the day. It will help keep my glucose from dropping and will satisfy me for awhile. I don’t have to cook and eat in front of anyone. I make my shake and sip. It’s solves my problem. On another note, I slept 6 hours and 5 minutes last night which was AMAZING. Maybe it helped the scale a bit too?
02/18 …..xxxxx …..
02/19 …..xxxxx …..
02/20 …..xxxxx …..
02/01 I am grateful for my ability to retire early at age 60. I am beginning to finally feel better rested and more in control of my life. Owning 2 motels and cabins left me working 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, with never a day off. The businesses were located on my home property so there was never any rest, peace or privacy. The number of employees – 1. Just me and the occasional handyman I would hire if the job was above my skill set. What will I do for the rest of my life? As a widow, travel is a bit scary. I am not sure yet. But hopefully I will have lots of time to figure it out.
02/02 I love my new house. It is old and smoky and needs lots of updating and work but I love the possibilities. Mostly I love that it allows me to have a separate apartment in the basement for my adult disabled son. I love we can work harder on independence for him.
02/03 I love the frontline workers who allow me to shelter safely in my home while they are out on the frontlines battling this virus. Thank you to each and everyone of them. I hope you feel the love and respect.
02/04 I love my children and grandchildren. Without them, life would be meaningless. Thank you to God for placing them in my life.
02/05 I love my 3 new squirrel friends. All black squirrels, so shiny and beautiful. One is a little piggy and doesn’t want the other 2 to eat so I will have to work on that. I call him Ziffel (after Arnold the pig from Green Acres). Squirrel #2 is really skinny because Ziffel doesn’t share very often. I call him Green Bean (after the skinny Hee Haw character). # 3 only comes around about 2 times a week. He is always frustrated by Ziffel and always gets the shortest end of the stick. I call him Darren Stevens (after the hubby in Bewitched). I guess the names I have chosen is showing my age! In any case, I love all 3 of them.
02/06 I love chocolate. There is no getting around that. I am constantly trying to find ways to satisfy that craving without tipping the boat over during my journey. There it is. I honestly LOVE chocolate.
02/07 I love the memories I have with all my loved ones, especially those that have passed. Some memories are becoming fleeting for me, others rise to the surface with incidents’ that I long ago thought I had forgotten. Memories with my brothers & sisters. My cousins. My school friends. My past pets. I love that, through memories, they are with me always.
02/08 I love when I can make a difference in someone’s life. No matter how big or small.
02/09 I love every pet I’ve ever owned. I am thankful that since I have been out on my own (1980) I have cremated every doggy and kitty. They are now able to move with me. I love they are here with me in my new home.
02/10 I love sleep. It is hard for me to sleep as long as I would like. I am usually a 4 hour girl. In retirement I have started getting more 5 hour nights and am slipping back down to the 3 and 4 hour nights less often. I am trying hard to sleep longer but it just doesn’t seem to come for me. However, I do love sleep. The less I get, the more precious it is to me.
02/11 I love plants & flowers. It will be exciting what I can do with the landscape in my new home. Planting in my area of Michigan (zone 4) usually can’t begin until the end of Mary or beginning of June so I impatiently wait.
02/12 I love no alarm clock days. Today was not one of them but I know that today is the day that the Lord hath made, so I will be glad and rejoice in it.
02/13 I love a good book or movie and a hot cup of tea in the evening with no disruptions. I don’t get it very often, so when I do, it is so so appreciated and enjoyed.
02/14 Self Love: I love my strength and determination as a woman. I really feel I have made my own mark on the world in my professional life and my personal one too. My start in life was meager and difficult. I love that I overcame so much and reached such wonderful goals. I need to apply the same strength to my weight.
02/15 I love my morning coffee and appreciate it when no one tries to talk to me until I get in at least one sip.
02/16 I love a good hike in our beautiful national forest that is nearby. It is very rustic and follows the river. So beautiful that I just want to hug every tree and thank them for being a part of my life. I can’t wait for the snow and ice to melt, the birds to start chirping and the trails to be safe again. Spring can’t come soon enough!
02/17 I love MFP for offering this forum to us. I love “Just give me 10 days” especially. I love the support that you all bring to my life. The ideas. The remedies. The hope for progress and health in my own life. I love how open and honest you share your journeys, but also your struggles and triumphs on many things in your life. Thank you to all of you for the caring and the sharing!6 -
