OSW: 237.8 (Nov. 2016)
OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205
Goal for this round is to have a lower average that last round. I have a lot of work to do to get back to where I was last August.
Need to get some form of exercise kick started.
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.

Month/Day: Exercise / Comment
02/21: 213.4
Was a bit over on calories yesterday, and did a very light session with dumbbells working on range of motion mostly.
02/22: 213.2
Pretty quiet day yesterday. Took a walk around the block since the weather was not unbearable.
02/23: 212.6
This loss despite a moment of weakness last night right before bed. Another see-food event.
02/24: 212.6
A rare repeat weight! Better than going up. Trying to chip away. Having a little skin cancer removed from my neck today, so that should really show up on the scale tomorrow. Ha!
02/25: 212.2
It really makes a difference if I pack my own lunch for work instead of launching myself out the door at lunchtime in search of whatever sounds good. Warning to self: they are building a new Arby’s less than a mile from my office right now.

R142 - only a week away from scale abandonment. Will need to track in FL on an old-school scale on gym days for several weeks. Plan to eat and exercise as I have learned and see how I end up on my normal scale in April. I got this.
Day/Weight/Comment
02/21 - 166.5 really thought donating blood yesterday would help drop a couple ounces but I also drank a crazy amount of water to help replenish that pint. Happy the scale held two days with the 6 in the 3rd position in any event!
02/22 - 166.7 Attacking the scale creep today! Tune in tomorrow to see who wins!
02/23 - 166.7 Posturing with the scale creep.

Weird — apparently I didn’t post yesterday, though I remember writing a post and reading many of yours. Hmmm. Maybe I hit Done rather than Save. Whatever! Striving today to lower calories while staying satisfied. More veggies & protein!
💕 Temperature rise — high 30s heading toward the 40s! 🌞
2/24 - 183.2 - 1780
Beautiful sunshiny day, heading to the mid-40s, though there is a sharp wind right now. 🌝 Birds are really active at the nest boxes. 🪶 Spring is getting close! 🌷🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹
💕 Planning the plantings for my new flower beds. Dreaming in color!
2/25 - 182.8 - 1538
That’s better! We had grilled salmon for dinner — yummy & really filling, which kept me satisfied all evening. That’s the trick, methinks!
💕 Watching Mike the cat race around the house like a nut in the morning.

Day, Weight, Comment
2/21 – 200.8 – 13,484 steps, 30 min aerobics, 10 min weights yesterday. Results on the scale haven’t been fabulous the last couple of weeks, but I’m definitely feeling stronger. A new interval workout I started about 3-4 weeks ago was nearly impossible at first but relatively easy now. Today we’re going cross-country skiing, so I will be hungry. I think it’s a good trade-off. I will be mindful of what I’m eating today and try to keep the day’s calories down by skipping dinner.
2/22 – 201.6 – 19,686 steps yesterday, cross country skiing. Focusing today on eating mindfully. Today’s plan is fruits and veggies only until dinner. Small portion at dinner.
2/23 – 201.8 – 10,572 steps, 40 min aerobics yesterday. Getting ready to go skiing today and feeling really down about how fat I am. I doubt I’ll be able to do it and I’ll look like a giant hippo out there. Hopefully won’t break the chair lift or my leg. Can’t fit into last season’s pants or jacket. Really don’t want to do this but we already have the ticket. Going to work on my confidence this morning and pushing past all the negative feelings.
2/24 – 201.8 – 10,360 steps, 10 min weights, downhill skiing yesterday. Well, I did it, even though I was convinced I couldn’t and shouldn’t. I didn’t last very long and could only do the easiest runs – and today muscles I didn’t know I had are sore. I’m really too heavy to do too much downhill skiing, but it’s a good motivator to get in shape and I love doing it even if I’m terrible and look like an uncoordinated hippo on the mountain. We plan to go again on Sunday. Tired of this plateau (which is completely of my own making). I’ve had trouble fitting 24-hour fasts in the last couple of weeks. I will plan for one tomorrow and be mindful of my eating today: no eating at the cupboard, no eating at the counter, no trail mix, fruit and veggies only during the day before dinner.
2/25 – 201.4 – 10,547 steps, 30 min aerobics, 10 min weights yesterday. Woo-hoo! Excited to be moving in the right direction finally. Will work on keeping the momentum going today.

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.

Round 141 (16): 127.4 to 128.2 (+0.8 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- No excuses - ONE maintenance day (having our pod-family over tomorrow for a mini-party for my son). I will keep a calorie deficit all other days this round.
- Addendum to the first goal: improve my calorie tracking and weighing. No more fudging and estimating or leaving anything off.
- Add an evening snack to my meal plan to prevent late-night binges.
2/21 - 127.2 - Where was this number yesterday when I ended the last round? 😂. Glad to get back on track - hopefully I can keep going down from here. Today is my only allowed “maintenance” day this round - we are having the other family in our pod over for a backyard bbq as a little birthday party. I’m going to try and stay in a calorie deficit for the day, but I’m ok with going up to maintenance. Yesterday’s calories were 1764 (my goal is 1700) - I’m going to start recording my calories for the prior day here to help keep me accountable.
2/22 - 127.0 - 2,111 total calories yesterday. High, but my Apple Watch had me at 2,213 for the day so I did manage to stay at maintenance. I tried to be as honest as I could with recording what I ate, though I didn’t weigh my food during the party. Now I’ve had my one day off - 500+ calorie deficit is my aim for every day the rest of the round.
2/23 - 127.2 - 1,789 calories yesterday - a little higher than I wanted, but I also took the kids to the park (a 1.5 mile round trip) and we played a lot of chase and were kicking the soccer ball around so my active calories were a little higher than usual too. Unrelated to weight loss - I got my daughter registered for kindergarten and my son signed up for a preschool program yesterday! I am just hoping so so hard that our area will be in a place where it is safe for them to go to school in-person this fall. It will help both of them so much (and I’ve got to admit that even just 2 hours twice a week completely kid-free sounds WONDERFUL to me!)
2/24 - 126.4 - 1704 calories - Ok, now I’m finally feeling back on track. Going by past drops, I’ll probably go back up a bit the next day or two, but hopefully I can keep the overall downward trend. I’m trying to decide now whether I want to make 120 my new goal weight after 125, or if I want to switch to eating at maintenance and increasing my strength training to focus more on building/toning.
2/25 - 126.8 - 1697 calories - I’m very happy to see the 126 again! Had a good day yesterday in terms of sticking to my meal plan; it was board game night for me and my husband and I was careful to save calories for a drink and cheese crackers. Didn’t sleep well though - had a lot of trouble falling asleep and then woke early. I’m hoping coffee and breakfast will help since I’m still feeling foggy and both kids are already going 100 mph.

Previous days02/21 Did not weigh, drank water already this morning. We ended up getting Indian take out food last night. I got a chicken curry dish with naan. Not sure at all what the count was for it but it was definitely worth it to have delicious Indian food. I can’t remember the last time we got Indian take out! I have a healthy breakfast/lunch planned and will be making braised short ribs for dinner tonight with roasted veggies to go with it.
02/22 117.4 Oh how I love water and it’s fluctuations in my body 😊. Oh well, I know I didn’t gain a true 2 lbs over two days, so that’s a good thing. Food has been solid today and was able to squeeze in a 20 minute spin bike ride too.
02/23 116.6
02/24 115.8 Very happy to be maintaining in this range. Work has been crazy again this week. Food has been solid though. I made tacos last night for dinner with chorizo meat and they came out yummy. My husband also thought they were really good, so that was nice 😊. Breakfast today was the protein chocolate lava cake because I needed a chocolate fix. I also love how filling it is with all the fiber/protein/and healthy fat combo. Lunch today is left over tacos because I have to run to my in laws to meet the plumber and contractor for the renovations, so dinner will be something light like toast when I get home tonight.
I got myself a bullet journal to help me manage some stress & to give myself a new hobby on the weekends. I bought myself some new markers and can’t wait to dive into it this weekend! I think it’ll help me reflect on my day and prevent me from staring at my phone before bed.
02/25 114.2 Was shocked to see this number. I think it happened because I accidentally fasted from 3:30 yesterday afternoon until this morning at 8ish. I’ll certainly take it and hope it sticks around. It’s been a stressful morning, but I was able to take the rest of the day off and take some time for myself.
I had one caramel Cadbury egg this morning because I impulse bought it at Target yesterday when I ran in to pick up something for my husband. It was worth it and was so good. Then, a little while ago I made myself 2 open faced egg and cheese’s on toast. I did a long spin bike ride, so I still have a good chunk of calories to work with for my lunch/snack after figuring out my dinner calories. I plan on making cheese burgers for dinner tonight from the ground beef from our meat CSA. The nice thing about that ground beef is that it’s probably 95% lean, so even an 8oz burger is only 300 calories and 500 total if I have a bun with it. I’ve also been craving a burger, so I’m really looking forward to it! I also make some oven fries with the potatoes we have left from our produce CSA.

02/21 I love lazy Sunday mornings. I plan to do a 30 minute spin bike ride and some yoga at some point.
02/22 So random but I love smoothies, especially one that has been perfected with the right balance of sweet/tart/frozen smooth goodness. Did a 40 minute yoga video and 20 miunte spin bike ride today.
02/23 Yoga and 20n minute spin bike ride.
02/24 I love the spin instructor who I follow on Playbook. She uploads the most fun rides! Today I did an ABBA themed 20 minute bike ride that was so awesome! I also did a wake up vinyasa flow this morning for about 20 minutes.
02/25 I love the new colored pens/markers I bought for bullet journaling. 45 minute yoga video and 60 minute spin bike ride.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/20 …..205.0 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/21 …..205.0 ….. I made horrible choices yesterday eating on the grab from within my home. Calories were okay but the carbs were through the roof and contained very little nutritional value. I hope to make better choices today. I definitely need more protein today. Thankful for no weight gain.
02/22 …..207.2 ….. It was only ice cream and I skipped a meal for it! Yo-Yo. Disgusted! Now I will spend this entire round just trying to get back to starting weight. Why, oh why, oh why????
02/23 …..207.2 ….. I got nothing.
02/24 …..207.5 ….. Chinese food yesterday. I will have the leftovers today. I have taught myself to cut the meal into two meals, but sodium is sodium. We are in the heaviest part of winter right now. I can’t wait until May when it is no longer slippery and I can get outside! I miss taking my walks and hiking when I have a companion that will go (for safety). Come on Spring!
02/25 …..207.5 ….. I finished the Chinese food yesterday. I didn’t drink as much water as planned so I will push water today. I hope to get in some extra movement today in the house. The workers are only working a partial day.

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!
02/18 I love my memories. The ability to go back and pull your lost loved ones back into your life, even for a moment, is a true gift from God.
02/19 I love my friends who never give up on me, even when my time is so restricted.
02/20 I love travel and I hope someday to do it again with someone special that may come into my life.
02/21 I love “Just give me 10 days.” Thank you grandma Jackie and all the participants. From you, I have learned so much!
02/22 I love bright beautiful flowers in the garden, fragrant or not.
02/23 I love a beautiful sunset in the evening. The kind with all the beautiful pink hydrogen mixed with the golden orange of the sun. It speaks to me and assures me that all is well and that everything is going to be okay. God is the Artist of it all.
02/24 I love finding a good bargain, new or used. It's those unexpected finds made affordable that usually make a house a home!
02/25 I love the way I have always felt a sense of deep, private and complete protection by God. He helps me find my keys, my credit card I laid down and keeps me in check when I get too mouthy. I am grateful he has been in my life for as long as I can remember.6 -

February focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2021 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 142- 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.

Busy, snacky + not enough sleep will probably result in an uptick at the start of this round but I'm committed to getting back on track and crushing it by the end!
