I am wondering how your husband is doing. An update (when you get time) would be wonderful! I continue to send great vibes for an easy recovery and healing for him!
Thank you for checking on him. It's been a rough road the past 6 weeks. After his first treatment he ended up in the hospital. Dr. said he was a day away from full septic shock. They are not sure what caused it but they decided to stop the preferred treatment for his bladder cancer. Then the Dr. office was too slow to schedule his new treatment so I called Cleveland Clinic last Monday and we saw the Chair of Urology on Tuesday. He had set up a meeting with 4 other Drs. and they have decided on a new course of treatment. I actually didn't realize the Clinic was the #1 urology hospital in the world. I feel better knowing my husband will be getting the best care available. We are now just waiting to hear when the surgery will be scheduled. In the meantime, my husband is back to running on his treadmill and doing all kinds of chores around the house due to his retirement. He is feeling good now.
I have to admit that I've been pretty withdrawn the past month. Between worrying about Dan and trying to juggle tax season work, I've barely had time to weigh myself and post my weight. I hope you've been doing well!7 -

04/19 - 147.1 - Didn't get the chance to post yesterday, it was a busy busy day. Pre-TOM bloat is hitting me verrrry hard this morning. Also extremely tired. BF has off this week so he'll be out of the house and I can postpone my workout until later when I wake up more, thankfully. Hopefully getting in a workout will help with the bloating a bit, too. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. We shall see. Plan on hitting the garden to repot my habaneros and get things ready for my bell peppers and jalapenos in the seed starter. Don't think they're quite big enough yet, but they're getting close to needing new pots. My mom and I started a new blog, too. Not sure if y'all would be interested but I'll throw it out for anyone curious. www.momandgoose.com (:

Previous Day's Comments04/12 - No hugs, it's expected. Combination of factors: 2 days of slight dehydration with limited water/bathroom breaks and 90 degrees, full sunlight, no shade; full body soreness; large, late dinner to make up for lack of food all day. Hopefully I can get back on track in the next couple of days. I'm pushing my workout to tomorrow since I'm still very sore today and need to rehydrate fully, first. Depending on weather, I'll try for a walk with the pup. It isn't much, but it IS gentle movement.
04/13 - No hugs, part of the rehydration process. I got my 90oz in and feeling a little better. Still bloated, but my body will realize soon enough I'm giving it plenty and drop the excess water weight. Need to get fasting back in line with goals. Last night was super late because my old phone got randomly stuck in a reboot loop so I had to run to Verizon and get a new one before they closed. Today I have no excuses to not be on track. Also knocking out my workout here in a few minutes before work gets too hectic.
04/14 - Alright, get in gear, Cam. Log your food and water. Track your fast. Do the workout (2 more before weekend, aiming for today and Friday). Things are happening, Cam, but they're slow because you're slacking. We got this. Let's do this! Today is the day, NOT tomorrow. TODAY. Okay, end pep talk. Not sure fasting yesterday. Wasn't long. Got about 90oz, though, which is good progress. Still rehydrating and allowing my body time to bounce back from that (PATIENCE CAM.....) I have broccoli to use up and some leftover wild turkey for lunch. Not sure on dinner, as usual. I guess I'll find out at dinner (which makes it hard to plan and track appropriately but I've managed alright in the past. It's not an excuse to go off the rails.
04/15 - Still moving on down. Rather surprised at this since we had last minute dinner plans change and ended up eating wings. Was delicious, and even better seeing a loss today. Fasted 16 hours, drank 85oz water. Did my workout yesterday and it was leg focused so I'm a tad sore in the booty/hammies. Hopefully I'll recover enough for tomorrow's workout. Stormy today so not much getting done outside. Ended up spending a chunk yesterday repotting my tomatoes and anaheim chilis. I need to get more soil to repot my habaneros since I think their growth is stunted in the small pots now. Hopefully this weekend will clear up and I can do that.
04/16 - Asian food. It may be homemade, but there was still plenty of salt involved. Glad I'm not up more. No clue what today has in store so I'm going to try to play it safe for lunch just in case. Need to get my workout in at some point, but not sure when or how. I didn't wake up before BF (since its my day off) so I couldn't knock it out before he was up and moving. I'll find a way. Fasted 15.5hrs, drank 90oz water.
04/17 - Yesterday was madness. Didn't get my usual workout in, but DID do some manual labor at the land pulling tree limbs, stacking brush, and burning piles until the rain came back in. Fitbit didn't register it as a workout, but I got a lot of Zone Minutes which is the primary goal. Ended up grabbing lunch on the way and then dinner was a last minute affair of diced steak with rice and steamable veggies in a bowl. Not terrible, but not ideal. Fasted 16hrs, only got 64 oz of water which I need to correct today. I'll be outside a good chunk of the afternoon and it's chilly so hopefully I'll shiver or bounce around to burn off some extra calories haha!

Month/Day: Exercise / Comment
04/12: DNW
Broken Scale. Just trying to do the right thing without any “wishful thinking.” I fizzled out posting and reading the last two days of round 146 due to scale problem and family “problem” of house guests and unbridled munching.
It will be interesting to see what number pops up on a new scale.
04/13: DNW
Keep fighting the good fight everyone!
04/14: 213.8 - 15 stone 3.8 pounds 😊
OK I am back in the saddle with a lot of rocks in my saddle bags and have to say I am not surprised at the reading. I went 7 days without a scale and smack-dab in the middle was a weekend with guests.
Time to get busy catching up and preparing for a getaway planned for early May.
04/15: 212.6
Good morning everyone!
Got my second shot yesterday along with DW. She is not reacting well at all… I am doing well.
04/16: 212.2
I expected better than this based on yesterday’s intake. I think I may have an explanation...
DW feeling a bit better this morning.
04/17: 212.6
Up a notch because of salt. We had a frozen pizza last night to celebrate DW amazing recovery yesterday. Today she is as good as new!
04/18: 212.8
Yesterday was busy! And somewhat over my calorie goal.
04/19: 214.4
Ugh. I think I am eating too much and retaining EVERYTHING.

...went to your blog. Keep it up. Saw that you like steampunk. Try "Stormdancer: The Lotus War Book One." I kill more time as a result of perusing the new book (Sci-Fi) shelf at the Public Library....2 -
Y'all are about the only ones who understand, so I want to share and get the excitement out:
I was feeling down on myself all last week and through the weekend. I feel trapped at my weight (I do now, but I have the pre-TOM excuse that allows my mind to let go a bit). So I did some research on myself. Around March/April last year I had reached low 140s. But as soon as I slipped up ONCE, I was back to 153-155 very quickly. It took several months to get down to 140s and only a couple weeks to get back to the 153-155 range. Ouch. I figured that may have been a set point for my body. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. But my body really loved to hover around that range.
Well, this year, I'm slipping up almost daily. Things are picking up pace in my life and it's been really hard to stay on track when plans change or spur of the moment things come up. Yet, here I am, below 150! Last year, staying below 150 meant I had to be absolute perfect 100% of the time. Now, I'm here being perfect about 1% of the time and staying below 150. This gives me so much hope and happiness, as well as baffles me. It took a year to get to this point. Maybe 1 more year of hard work and I'll be 10lbs lighter and a new "set point" type ordeal THAT much closer to goal (or even AT goal, assuming I don't change it as I get closer based on body composition).
This 10 day challenge has really really changed my mindset in incredible ways. This is just another new example of how it has helped tremendously. I went from feeling so mad at myself for a week and half to today feeling much more hopeful and happy about the progress made. Now, the hard part: keep that in mind and keep going!6 -
@deepwoodslady Sorry I didn’t see this until now. I hope you had a better day yesterday and that today is even better!

R147 Goals — walk more 🏃🏻♀️ No evening snacking. Calorie goal <1400.
My scale readings bounced up 4 pounds when I changed batteries, so I didn’t suddenly gain 4+ pounds. I didn’t want to write that down but, other than the horror of gaining, what difference does it make? So I’m going with the new readings, dammit. I’m lowering my calories goal by 100 to see if that breaks the stalemate without going too low (I actually think 1400 is too low but...).

4/12 - 188.8 - 2134 🤯
I had a relapse bout of emotional eating last night, as in “I kept to my goals for the past 10 days and gained so ppffftttt” eating stupid stuff, but I’m back on track today, with meals planned. I’ve also decided to recast my calorie goal as a limit, not a goal, and if I get through dinner with very low calories, not feel I need to make up the dif to guard my metabolism, which is clearly already screwed up. I’m pretty depressed about all this regain right now (8# from this time last year, 50 from 3 years ago 🤬), not least because I don’t seem to have any warm-weather clothes that fit & I hate that I need to go buy some fat clothes. Ok, enough, and no, I don’t want any cheese with my whine. My goal this round is to lose something, anything!
4/13 - 188.8 - 1406
I managed to keep my calories lower, so there’s that. It’s a beautiful day for a long walk and some more weeding/grass removal from garden beds. Have a lovely, everyone!
4/14 - 190 - 1745
Ugh. DH brought pizza home and I did not stifle myself. Too much food, too much salt. I can’t believe I’ve let myself gain this much (even if some is my scale shifting upward with new batteries). Maybe I need to see a shrink. I’m so torn between not wanting to buy back into diet mentality on the one hand and wanting to stop gaining, start losing on the other. Just fed up with myself.
4/15 - 188.2 - 1537
Ok, not bad. A few more calories than I wanted, but ok. I think I’ve flushed most of the salt at least.
4/16 - 187.6 - 1367
Yesterday was a good day. 😁
4/17 - 187.8 - 1516
Still wrestling with calories, but my macros are better, %’s hanging around P20, F35, C45. I haven’t eliminated evening snacks, but I’ve planned better for them. It’s been a bit chilly, but I’ve gotten some walks in plus garden work (expanding some beds). I’m really looking forward to warm weather!
4/18 - 188 - 1525
Nothing much to report. 😁 Happy Sunday, all.
4/19 - 187.6 - 1546
Planning to enjoy today outdoors as much as possible as tomorrow it’s dropping below freezing with strong possibility of snow. No!!! I think I may gather a big bouquet of tulips & daffodils this afternoon rather than letting them freeze. My forget-me-nots opened yesterday — I love them. Can’t cover everything. Here are a few shots of my garden yesterday. Have a great week, everyone!

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.

Day, Weight, Comment
4/12 – 200 – 10,163 steps yesterday. Camping this weekend and TOM. Still really depressing looking at the scale.
4/13 – 200.2 – 10,533 steps yesterday. Wow. Just wow. Way to go, fatso. Still my TOM, but typically the water weight drops when it starts. So, I guess this is my weight now and I’ll need to start over. Weight loss goals adjusted again.
4/14 – 200.2 – 11,369 steps yesterday. Fasting today.
4/15 – 196 – 10,292 steps yesterday. Balance, grasshopper.
4/16 – 198.4 – 11,274 steps yesterday.
4/17 – 199 – 10,292 steps yesterday.
4/18 – 199.4 – 15,314 steps yesterday. Second vaccination on Friday and not 100% since then. Eating habits really, really bad lately. I know I need to take control.
4/19 – 195.2 – 10,221 steps yesterday, fasted. I’m getting whiplash. Focus today on eating in moderation and watching the sodium.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/11 …..206.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
04/12 …..207.4 ….. I ate 3 meals yesterday instead of my normal 2 which pushed my calories and carbs up a bit. However, I did make good choices and I got out in the yard yesterday evening for a bit to do some more raking and yard clean-up. The house I bought was empty for awhile so the leaves and pine needles are never ending. I burned extra calories had over 11,000 steps so for that I am grateful. Good luck everyone this round!
04/13 …..207.2 ….. Another small step forward in my journey. I am grateful for any progress. Now…… to avoid the two steps back!
04/14 …..207.6 ….. Likely a no TMI uptick. Yesterday was a good day with both diet and exercise (movement).
04/15 …..207.6 ….. I worked my butt off in the yard yesterday to counteract those 2 slices of pizza. No gain is good.
04/16 …..207.2 ….. More yard work yesterday after a worker left turned out great. I got lots of work done and was pretty far from the fridge at the same time. Win-Win.
04/17 …..206.6 ….. Well……..according to trend weight dot com, I will be at goal with a 54 pound loss on Nov. 16, 2032. Now if the isn’t a kick in the butt, I don’t know what is! I was a little depressed for a second seeing this on my screen, but now I am feeling positive. It is the push that I needed for today. Scale is down over half a pound today so I’m off to another good start!
04/18 …..208.2 ….. I am not in a place of love today. Trendweight now tells me today that I will lose my 54 pounds by July 29, 2054. Right now, I hate everything about my life. I feel so disadvantaged all because I want to live near my children and grandchildren. Not making excuses but truth is truth. I hate the medications I am on that causes weight gain. I hate my bad thyroid. I hate my diabetes that stops me from the fasts I see other people using as a tool due to sugar drops. I hate that my town has no gym, no ymca, no public pool, no sidewalks, only gravel with horse poop on the sides from the Amish horses. No bike trails. I hate that we are expecting our typical snow storm in April here in Michigan. I hate that we can’t plant until June and our first snow is usually in September. Most of the year outside activities are prohibited, especially for a fall risk like me. I hate that we have one small grocery store that doesn’t carry all these wonderful diet products and low cal or low carb foods that I see pics of on MFP. Okay, rant over. Yesterday I had 12,574 steps, 5.31 miles, 2748 calories burned. Only 3.75 hours of sleep. Late dinner, up early and no TMI. It looks like it will be a chilly but beautiful day today. I will work on getting out of this bad headspace, pull up my big girl panties and try to make this day count again. Lots of hugs are okay, friends. I need them today.
04/19 …..206.0 ….. Feeling better today and of course, the scale reading helped as did the TMI. , I appreciated all the hugs and comments. Thanks everyone. I will be traveling today for some building supplies and such. Dinner will be out so I expect an uptick on the scale tomorrow but I will try not to panic. 19,281 steps yesterday in yardwork. I burned 3359 calories and walked 8.15 miles in my yard. That explains the drop on the scale and the very very nice drop in body fat.

04/12 197 Uhhhhh. Very lazy yesterday.
04/13 197 No change. I am very disappointed. I am still swollen but not as much as I was. I was more active yesterday but still over indulged. It is so easy to fall down the rabbit hole with carbs and sugar.
04/14 195.9 TOM is still kicking my butt which accounts for extra heaviness.
04/15 195.4 It’s something. No walk during lunch for 2 days in a row, but I got in 10 minutes last night.

GW:169s. I'm 67
Hi there folks I'm a 67 yr old female, 5'9" and ready to rock this year of weight loss. Round One - I'm late to this party, but would love to join you all. So I went back to include my weeks' daily weight. So odd to have seen my weight go up from yesterday as I've eaten healthy foods in moderate portions in the last few days. Here's to making it a clean 10 lb loss by the 21st! My mini goal is to become overweight..at 202 lbs mid summer!

04/18 220.6 down 8.4 bs from 4/12, but up 1 from yesterday. Water weight? (down 78 whoo whoo, 52 to go to be at the top of Normal BMI)
04/19 220- -.6 from yesterday. down 10 since the start date 4/12 which was a result of too much salt and eating out (wrong foods). But, hey, I lost the weight I'd gained the week before, and a bit more. I'm almost to my pre-pandemic weight! So close I can feel it, taste it, savor it! Mini goals keep me going. Now to keep it from bouncing back up.

04/13 115.4 So this is what I call my dry weight. It was after I worked out fasted in the morning, but I was happy with it because this weekend was a tough one foodwise. Life is always busy but it just feels extra busy right now. We are slowly making progress on the renovation plans but that has also been consuming my time on the weekends as I research appliances and everything else involved in building a whole new living space. I have been keeping up with my exercise though and that has been saving me when I make poor food decisions on the weekend (along with staying within a deficit on the weekdays).
04/14 115.6 TOM arrived in the middle of the night but I pushed myself this morning to do a lighter than normal effort on the bike for 30 minutes this morning to see if the exercise would help the cramps a little bit. On the bright side, I think it helped a little bit or at least helped release some happy chemicals in my brain. Short day at work today because I have to go pick my car up from the shop. Many dollars later I will have working AC, a fixed exhaust, and an oil change. Grateful I won’t de driving in a moving sauna this summer though!

04/16 115.4 Yesterday was a rough day emotionally due to some family ish but I’m feeling better today. I also had the energy to do a little bit of yoga and ride the bike for 20ish minutes. Food was a mish mash of stress eating and attempting to eat decently yesterday. Not sure what the plan is for today foodwise. I hope everyone has a good Friday! I love hearing the birds chirping in the trees outside my window on this rainy spring day in New England.
04/17 Did not post.
04/18 Did not post
04/19 Did not weigh. I have a lot of veggies to use up in the fridge and also need to donate some of the longer storage vegetables to the pantry tomorrow. We just end up with a little bit too much and each week it builds to the point of excess. My goal this week is to at least use all of the fresh greens I have gotten from the CSA over the past two weeks. I’m thinking of making a kale salad tonight or tomorrow. Started my day with a 20 minute spin bike ride. Didn’t end up doing any exercise this weekend. I ended up getting lost in water coloring painting with watercolor markers and water brushes along with figuring out what we are going to do about housing come August because plans fell through to renovate our inlaws basement. It will just be way too expensive (over 100k for what we wanted). So, now we get to decide if we want to buy something of our own. Being an adult is fun...I can't decide if that's supposed to be sarcastic or not...the thought of buying a house is both exciting and terrifying all at the same time.

I am a 20 year old college student who recently let themselves go over quarantine as well as the freshman 15 and I'm hoping to lose some of that weight before my third year roles around. My overall goals over these challenges are to better my relationship with exercise and food while losing some pounds in the processRound 146: 181.1 (-5.1)
SW: 181.1
CW: 176.0
GW: 160.0lbs before August 2021
Day/Weight/Comment
04/12: 176.0 ... I was honestly looking forward to weighing in this morning. I tried out a new recipe for dinner last night but I had a hard time figuring out what the calorie count would be. I'm aiming for an 800 calorie deficit (after exercise) so I'm not 100% sure if my logging last night was accurate for food. Seeing no change was great. This week is smack dab in the middle of exam season, plus moving out of my current house, so it'll be interesting to see how my weight fluctuates as we go along.
04/13: 175.3
04/14: 175.4 ... TOM, so not expecting any big losses this round
04/15: 176.3 ... my roommates made charcuterie last night and I may have overindulged. Oh well, it's been one night of not being in a calorie deficit for close to two weeks now, I figure one night is fine and it hasn't set me off track by that much. I also avoided the wine that came with it, so I'll take the little victories and onto the next day! Have a big exam in Cell Biology today but still planning on going for a run to work off the frustration I'm sure will come with it... other than that, up the water intake, and there's no more yummy cheese in the house to tempt me.
04/16: 173.3 ... that's more like it. Hopefully this isn't a fluke.
04/17/; 176.0 ... annnnnd we're back. I binged a bit last night. Was still within my calories but didn't have enough of a deficit. I'm hoping TOM has something to do with it.
04/18: 175.0 ... my weight fluctuates so much ughhhh. Hopefully I can get back to the 16th's weight before the end of the challenge. Last exam is today so after today I'll be upping my training to include daily weight training as well as running. Can't wait until the gyms open back up and I can get back to lifting.

@starrjulia8 Thanks! I went a little nuts with bulbs last fall. I’m hoping the cold snap doesn’t do in my alliums.4

Main goal - count calories even when with partner/at social events, even if it’s not perfect an estimate is better than nothing!

04/12 - 164.2 - over ate a bit at night time but eating during the day was fine
04/13 - 161.8 - cakes at the office! I had one but counted the calories and hopefully can manage the snack ☺️
04/14 - 161.7 - so yesterday’s snack turned into a bit of a day of indulgence but I’m back on track today and down a little bit too!
04/15 - 161.8 - ended up eating at maintenance yesterday so need to do some work on lowering!
04/16 - 159.9 - nice little drop this morning ☺️ weighed later than the last few days as I wasn’t working. Will be with my bf at social events for the weekend so fingers crossed I can stick to my goal and log even if I’m not 100% sure of the calories (also make good choices)
04/17 - 160.4
04/18 - away
04/19 - 160.2 - must admit counting calories didn’t go to plan over the weekend but tried to make good decisions and the numbers aren’t too bad thankfully!

Ending weight Round 146
Goal weight this round: 56.5kg
Day/Weight/Comment
04/12 - 56.9kg, will be logging this round so hope to see better result
04/13 - 56.8kg, logged so all good and did some yoga, lots of gardening
04/14 - 56.5kg, lots of gardening and logged every bite!
04/15 - 56.2kg, logging is working to keep me losing, rainy yesterday so no walking but some early morning gardening
04/16 - 56.5kg, logged everything and was within limits, but too much sodium is hopefully the culprit here, > 10,000 steps!
04/17 - DNW, couldn't bear to see the scale after a major food meltdown yesterday afternoon, hope to be back on track today...
04/18 - 56.7kg, did okay today but only just
04/19 - 57.0kg, my heart is not in it this round
04/20 - 57.4kg, ugh!
04/216 -
Increase daily steps to 8000
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
March focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2021 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 147- 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.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.
