I'm sneaking in mid round! Need to start back on being accountable to myself. Was going to leave starting until the start of the next round but decided there's no time like the present!
Haven't listed all my previous round history as wanted to start afresh
If I have to go back into the office at any stage not sure I'd get my work trousers on - working from home the last year and lockdowns have not been kind to my waistline!
My only goal for now is to weigh less at the end of the round than I started at and to cut out the rubbish foods and stick with healthy snacking!
04/27 - 175.8lb - ouch!!! That's the reality of lockdown....... Down is the only option! Also put my activity tracker on charge too!

Day/Weight/Comment
04/21 …..207.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
04/22 …..207.2 ….. After travel yesterday. Meal out was small and healthy but I could have done without the dense dessert. I should have resisted harder. I hope more will not creep up on the scale in the days to come since it sometimes shows up later. More travel today for Covid shot #2. Only about 3-4 hours out total so I will keep my meals at home which will really help. Time to get this done!
04/23 …..208.6 …..
04/24 …..206.6 ….. I’m feeling much better today. I was very disoriented yesterday and bloated with the extra water intake after the vaccination. A full day planned today including a tree service cutting down some trees. I will be part of the clean-up crew so I will get in lots of movement today.
04/25 …..206.0 ….. Just over 27,000 steps, over 11 miles and nearly 4000 calories burned so I worked hard in the yard for this downward trend. Downside? Got eat up with gnat bites. No sleep last night. Nothing I tried stopped the itching. I am high allergic to their bites so I am miserable right now with another full day of outside work ahead of me. My right eye is swollen shut. Joy!
04/26 …..204.0 ….. Wow! I was pleasantly shocked at the scale. This extensive yardwork after the trees were removed is really paying off. It’s also keeping things moving right along in the TMI (bathroom) dept. Finished with the clean up now so I won’t be burning 4000 calories a day anymore, but there’s always something I can do out there. I just often need help and I need to keep the crew on the reno projects. I’ll still get my rear end out there and burn something extra everyday. Rain and thunderstorms next 3 days though. Maybe I’ll just do the happy dance inside about the scale progress!
04/27 …..205.4 ….. I think the sudden drops just adjusted themselves so I am okay with this. Weight is still down 1.6 lbs from challenge start. Fat percentage is down (including overnight). My trend weight is continuing down, even with today’s scale read. I had a glucose drop yesterday that I caught quickly before it raged out of control. I corrected it easily and without too many calories or carbs. I slept very good last night with 6 hours which is about 2 hours more than normal. So I know all is well. There was less movement due to rainy weather and some outdoor work being done by the excavating company. However, overall, I am so very very pleased with the progress. My birthday is coming in May. My gift (I hope) to myself is continued progress. Thai food is scheduled for dinner tonight. I will split it in half and eat the rest tomorrow. Pushing water for the impending sodium.

04/26 - 198.2 I sort of expected this. Mondays are usually pretty bad, and I had a pretty bad weekend food wise (though activity wise it was a bit better).
04/27 - 194.0 This is a weirdly big drop. I assume because I've been so off track over the weekend that there was also a fair bit of water retention going on. Feeling like I'm a bit more on track now - went for a long walk yesterday and a run this morning.

Round 147 SW: 230: EW: 218.2
Round 148 SW: 218.2
Short term goals
#1. 3-4 pounds gone by the end of this 10 day challenge
#2. leave BMI obesity level I and hit BMI weight zone this summer
04/22 I went to my nephrologist's office. They want me to lose 10% of my last year's stating weight of 228.6. By their scale I'm down 8.4 since March of '20 so their goal is for me to get down 22.8 lbs total which would bring me to 206. By their measure I'm down 8.4 since March of '20. Although I lost more weight than that during last week's challenge according to my scale as I'd been up a bit over the pandemic. Always interesting to see what the doc's scale reads. I'm beginning to understand what the other lab result mean. (A1c, GFR and Vitamin D) So adding to a mini goal-Get to 205 by 7/15/21. Overweight (202) to follow.
04/23 217.8/-.2/ Slow & steady
04/24 217/-.8/ I'm losing about a lb every 2 days. Getting used to planning my meals the night before committing it to paper or text, eating measured nutritious food, letting hunger pass between my 3 meals, and texting my buddy my meal plan. It is faster to lose weight when one is obese. It'll slow eventually, but for now it's nice to see more than 2 lbs lost so soon. On target, maybe even surpassing it!
04/25 216.2/-.8/ On track to meet goal of 3-4 bs on this challenge. A month ago, I penned in my goal weight for each Sunday. Today's goal was that I'd be at 219. I'm at 216.2. WFPB is good for my system. Glucose morning numbers have been under 100 lbs
04/26 216.6/+.4/Was starving yesterday afternoon, ate more than I planned. Reading articles about it being healthiest losing 2 bs/week. I'll let my focus be healthy nutritious food.
04/27 217.2/ +.6/ Wow, thought I was on the straight and narrow. Guess I need to revise my expectations based on data. Goal should be to lose 2 lbs on this challenge and not to gain!

Increase daily steps to 8000
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
April focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2021 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 148- 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.- 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.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 148 (round 80 for me ) I prove time after time that I need this to help me keep on track! Thank you @QuiltingJaine for setting up the new challenge.
Female age 63 5' 4” - Challenge for this round; need to continue to get back to maintenance weight– get back to and stay at or >130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.
Keep calm – we're all in this together! Wash hands, be kind, continue to follow all latest Government guidelines in roadmap to normality for C-19 virus. Be positive for the vaccine – I've had my first, spread positivity and encouragement for it to others.
Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/22 133.6 - 10.19 miles walked yesterday, I need to get a grip on my food choices!
04/23 133.8 – 4.03 miles walked yesterday, over on calories due to lack of miles and spending day meeting up with DD & 2 little DGS at National Memorial Arboretum.
04/24 133.8 – 14.51 miles walked yesterday, 247 calories in credit.
04/25 DNW – yesterday and today we are travelling up at DS's house to help to build new bedroom furniture for DGD's new bedroom and then freshening up the nursery for new baby DGC due in 4 weeks, so we shall not only be getting no structured walking, but also not in control of the menus. I'll try not to not go overboard!
04/26 133.2 – 267 calories over, back home now and getting back on track to see a difference for the round.
04/27 133.2 – 11.85 miles walked yesterday, 391 calories in credit.

Main goal - count calories even when with partner/at social events, even if it’s not perfect an estimate is better than nothing! Don’t allow a little slip up or not being able to track properly to derail me

04/22 - 163.8 repairing the damage from last week! Determined not to have a repeat
04/23 - 162.4 going in the right direction
04/24 - 161.4 very happy with this! My partner came over unexpectedly last night and we had a campfire dinner and I managed to track well
04/25 - 161.4 happy to stay the same as yesterday, had a few treats with my partner but again tracked them well which is a big plus for me
04/26 - away but feeling positive about choices and progress
04/27 - 161.2 - very happy expecting a bit of a rise tomorrow because I need to weigh in earlier before work but let’s see how it goes!
04/28 - 160.8 - delighted! Wasn’t expecting that after an early morning weigh in. Also should’ve mentioned I had a great weekend/early week making campfires and having dinner with a very good friend. Wonderful!

04/26 - 198.2 I sort of expected this. Mondays are usually pretty bad, and I had a pretty bad weekend food wise (though activity wise it was a bit better).
04/27 - 194.0 This is a weirdly big drop. I assume because I've been so off track over the weekend that there was also a fair bit of water retention going on. Feeling like I'm a bit more on track now - went for a long walk yesterday and a run this morning.
04/28 - 192.6 So I went for a run yesterday and kept below calories, but this is still a bigger one day drop than I would expect. I'm treating this a bit like the drop you get early on in weight loss which I know is probably mainly water weight. I've really struggled to stay on track in April, though, so seeing some positive numbers on the scale is a really good motivator.

Been part of this group before and I did so well - so decided to come back! So pleased to see the group still going!!!
I'm sneaking in mid round! Need to start back on being accountable to myself. Was going to leave starting until the start of the next round but decided there's no time like the present!
Haven't listed all my previous round history as wanted to start afresh:)
If I have to go back into the office at any stage not sure I'd get my work trousers on - working from home the last year and lockdowns have not been kind to my waistline!
My only goal for now is to weigh less at the end of the round than I started at and to cut out the rubbish foods and stick with healthy snacking!
04/27 - 175.8lb - ouch!!! That's the reality of lockdown....... Down is the only option! Also put my activity tracker on charge too!
04/28 - 176.9lb (+1.1lb) I can safely say that is because of all the water I drank yesterday ... something else that has badly slipped. Not worried as these first couple of rounds will be all about me getting back on track, tracking my food again and going back to making sensible choices again rather than any drastic sudden weight loss.
And thank you for the lovely welcome back

Previous Day's Comments04/22 - Wow, I expected a bump up. I was STARVING at dinner and ate a little extra to satisfy my belly. I figured it'd bump me up, even if only slightly. Very pleasant surprise indeed. Fasted 16hrs, short on water, only got 65oz. Did get my workout in, though, which was wonderful. Hopefully this round will show some improvement, I'd love to be below 145 again. It IS a bit elusive....
04/23 - Lack of water causing water weight/bloat. Expected, plans were unknown to me so I couldn't plan ahead and make sure I had water with me. Only drank about 35oz plain water yesterday. Pushing water this morning to try to overcome. Yesterday I had another day I was extremely hungry and had to eat extra to feel satiated. Just trying to listen to my body and know it'll pass and things will settle back to normal soon enough. Hormones are goofy and I just need to be aware is all (: Not mad at it.
04/24 - DNP
04/25 - Busy busy, go go go. Just wanted to check in so nobody worried. All good here. I'll be back to normal weigh in tomorrow!
04/26 - No hugs, I'm quite happy this wasn't higher after the weekend I had. Lots of manual labor, sleep was all kinds of wonky, could't keep up hydration as well as I'd like, and food was prepackaged on the go so we didn't have to keep going back into town. Hopefully today is calm enough I can focus on water. I'm postponing my workout (again.... I didn't get it on Friday as we left waaaay earlier than I anticipated) so I can rehydrate and rest my body after the manual labor this weekend.
04/27 - Inching back down. Got 65oz water and made homemade Chicken Tikka Masala and Naan bread for dinner. I'm feeling the bit of heaviness I usually do after Indian-style food, but my measurements show I've lost 1/2in off my belly pooch area, which is good. Unfortunately I have a busy busy work day suddenly pop up so my workout has been postponed. Hopefully I can still manage something this afternoon. Supposed to be rainy the next 3 days so maybe I'll get lucky to sneak in a walk or something if I can't get my 9Round in. Focus today will be getting my 90oz water while on meetings! Need to stop being too lazy or distracted to refill water bottle

Round 148
Month/Day: Exercise / Comment
04/22: 210.4
Well, there’s a fine how do you do. Down 4 pounds in the past two days and I cannot really pin-point a reason. Probably lower carbs and I processed a lot of water (in AND out) yesterday. I think I will try that again today.
04/23: 211.4
Going out with friends tonight, so I will try to behave before that.
04/24: 214.0
There is no doubt in my mind that this is just the dead weight of what I shoved in my mouth yesterday.

It’s pretty well established that my maintenance range is 210-215. I look like a yo-yo going up and down in that range. That is ten pounds above my goal maintenance range as stated above. I am happy that I can maintain at this current level with minimal effort. I am NOT happy that I am happy with minimal effort in this area...

04/22 I went to my nephrologist's office. They want me to lose 10% of my last year's stating weight of 228.6. By their scale I'm down 8.4 since March of '20 so their goal is for me to get down 22.8 lbs total which would bring me to 206. By their measure I'm down 8.4 since March of '20. Although I lost more weight than that during last week's challenge according to my scale as I'd been up a bit over the pandemic. Always interesting to see what the doc's scale reads. I'm beginning to understand what the other lab result mean. (A1c, GFR and Vitamin D) So adding to a mini goal-Get to 205 by 7/15/21. Overweight (202) to follow.
04/23 217.8/-.2/ Slow & steady
04/24 217/-.8/ I'm losing about a lb every 2 days. Getting used to planning my meals the night before committing it to paper or text, eating measured nutritious food, letting hunger pass between my 3 meals, and texting my buddy my meal plan. It is faster to lose weight when one is obese. It'll slow eventually, but for now it's nice to see more than 2 lbs lost so soon. On target, maybe even surpassing it!
04/25 216.2/-.8/ On track to meet goal of 3-4 bs on this challenge. A month ago, I penned in my goal weight for each Sunday. Today's goal was that I'd be at 219. I'm at 216.2. WFPB is good for my system. Glucose morning numbers have been under 100 lbs
04/26 216.6/+.4/Was starving yesterday afternoon, ate more than I planned. Reading articles about it being healthiest losing 2 bs/week. I'll let my focus be healthy nutritious food.
04/27 217.2/ +.6/ Wow, thought I was on the straight and narrow. Guess I need to revise my expectations based on data. Goal should be to lose 2 lbs on this challenge and not to gain!
04/28 217.2 Considering that I went out to lunch with the girls yesterday, I'm happy my weight didn't go up! Still down 1 lb for the challenge. Not close enough to my initial goal of 3-4 lbs for this challenge, But as someone on this thread said, "The numbers are data."

04/26. 178.6 eating raw vegetables dipped in hummus for dinner and actually very nice low effort dinner
04/27. 179.4. Thought bacon and mikes hard lemonade wouldn’t be that big of an issue- I was sooo wrong😳
04/28. 179.8. This 10 day experiment is really forcing me to shine a light on my eating habits
It isn’t magic
Too many calories =weight gain
Fewer calories= weight loss
So I am forced to face the fact my counting is wrong 😑
