5/25 213.4 Happy dance. This is the lowest I've weighed in at least a year!
5/26 215.6 Uh oh. Ate out for lunch and had a late night after dinner treat of a banana and 3 bread thingies that my sis in law made, thinking that I could afford the calories since I was at my year's lowest. Hopefully I'm not going to do that again. I learned my lesson and even felt boated when going to sleep. Back to the straight and narrow.
5/27 213.8 Back to the 213 range after my day of lesson learning! When I lose a pound or two, that is not the time to celebrate with a snack nor eating out mea. I'm actually starting to prefer my own meals. 208 is a mini goal that is within sight for this next month.
5/28 213.2 Ate an unplanned late evening 2 bananas & two pieces of the heel of a loaf of bread w/ peanut butter that I thought might have the scale rising today. Amazingly it went down a bit. Either that or my sis in law's scale is wonkie. Seems like I can step on her scale 3 times in a row and get 3 different weights, so who knows if the numbers I'm posting are accurate.

05/21 …..209.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
05/22 …..209.6 ….. Good luck everyone one this round. Let’s make it a beautiful one!
05/23 …..210.8 ….. Banana nut bread with choco chips. I went back for another piece last night. The carbs really need to go but I just don’t know how to swing that with my daughter and DGS here. I’ve got to get this figured out and get moving on something before my next doctor appointment or I’ll be put on insulin shots! I’ve got to let that be my inspiration right now!
05/24 …..210.8 ….. Little to no movement due to my schedule yesterday. Eating……so-so. Traveling today so dinner will be out.
05/25 …..209.8 ….. Kept the lunch light yesterday while out of town. I had a very light dinner. I also slept over 5 hours last night (which is good for me). I think all of this helped.
05/26 …..208.6 ….. I’m very pleased to be down 1.2 but I honestly don’t know how it happened. My meals were actually low cal and on the low carb side with good ingredient choices. But there was that dessert my daughter brought in from the little bakery north of town. The choices are always mine. It wasn’t a good one. I was up all night sick to my stomach from the extreme sugar content of it (all). Lesson learned. But I’ll take the 1.2 pound loss !
05/27 …..207.2 ….. Another very light dinner. Very little movement. I’ll try to get in more movement today. The steps should be higher naturally because I am babysitting my DGS while my daughter is at work.
05/28 …..207.0 ….. Good meals, bad snacks. I’ve got to make a better plan when hunger strikes swiftly and strongly. Glad to see a drop on the scale again, however. The carefully planned lunch and dinner portions made the difference.
05/29 …..xxxxx …..
05/30 …..xxxxx …..

😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
May focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2021 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 151- 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.

🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

5/24 205.2 No exercise, 1457 cal, 93 net carbs, AF. Really yummy chicken salad (mayo, dijon, dill, parsley, green onion, garlic) for lunch then lettuce wrap burger with turnip fries for dinner. Loving that I’m planning menus again to try new things!

5/28 - 176.8 - Worked out with a killer glute and legs routine and went out to a fantastic Korean restaurant with family. My weight will probably be up tomorrow, but that’s okay. I’m so proud of myself this work week not missing a single workout and staying under my calorie goals every day.
5/29 - 177.2 - Just as I thought! Not bad though for indulging in bibimbap and a drink. Today is a rest day and I need it; my legs are sore from yesterday’s workout. My parents and I are going to the farmers market today, and if the weather holds up, the zoo. We are going out to dinner tonight and I already picked what I want from their menu, so my weight may fluctuate again. I’ll be glad to end the challenge under where I started.

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.

Happy Saturday to you all!

Yesterday was a weird food day. Started with egg, Asiago-cheddar, Canadian bacon on whole grain English muffins. A friend came over and we sat outside nibbling nuts, dates, and cherries. Then I made grilled ham & cheese with tomato sandwiches for lunch, which I hadn’t planned to feed her so needed something quick. I didn’t feel like dinner, but had some ice cream later. Even so, low calories.

Ah, there’s the uptick I expected yesterday. Now to get rid of it! It rained all day yesterday, which was great, we needed it. It’s borderline chilly this morning, but warming up. I’m off for a walk and then to the nursery — need more plants! 😁
5/28 - 188 - 1710
Another day of rain and chill, but all good for the garden.

Lazy day yesterday with chilly rain. We ordered Thai and I went for the mussaman curry and one skewer of chicken satay, but my overall calories weren’t too bad. Leftover curry today, but that will be my only meal other than breakfast, so I should be able to keep control. It’s still chilly this morning, but no rain, so I’m off to move some plants around and plant some newbies. Have a great Saturday, all!

5/29 - 146.6 - Went out to eat to get out of the house before this rainy weekend and found a steak special. Wowza, best steak I've had in quite awhile. Stayed under calories, but it was heavy so I'm quite content that I didn't gain anything from that. Bloating seems to have gone down a tad, too. Did end up fasting 16 hours, drank about 95oz water. Took pup for a walk and knocked out 50 lunges (25 each leg) just to get some more blood flowing through them after sitting a good part of the day. It's really rainy and windy right now so not sure of plans today besides staying dry. Poor garden getting pummeled so I'll have work to do when rain lets up.

Previous Day's Comments5/22 - Expected with a late dinner, not a big deal. Fasted 15.5 hours, 60oz water. Not ideal. Behind on water today as well since we went out to the land trying to beat the rain (didn't work, starting downpouring as soon as we made it out there). Hoping catch up on that, though may not be able to hit the full 90 today. Also had McDonald's for lunch since I hadn't eaten yet and it was a bit of a rush to get out the door once BF was up and moving and didn't want to waste precious time cooking. His idea, but I WAS hungry. Oh well, dinner is steak and figuring out sides between us now (I'm definitely making veggies).
5/23 - Sodium? BF made homemade beef lo mein and although I bought the low sodium stuff, who knows how much salt he added. Didn't taste salty at all. Suppose it could be DOMS, too. I'm feeling super sore in glutes and hammies. Was over calories by 200, but still in slight deficit. Fasted 17.5 hours, ended up drinking the full 90oz after all.
5/24 - I'm actually shocked by this. Ended up eating out yesterday for lunch since we were searching for a part in the next town over. Put me way over calories and only ended up having a snack for dinner. I wasn't too hungry anyway. Fasted 15.5 hours, drank 90oz water.
5/25 - I'm alright with slow, so long as it keeps going down.... Only fasted 14.5 hours, but I was very hungry. Considering I only had a "snack" for dinner the night before, it makes perfect sense and I was alright with cutting my fast short. Today will be better since dinner was so early. Homemade chicken alfredo with homemade garlic bread (well, I bought the bread, but made it into garlic bread.... Didn't have time to make my own bread). 90 oz water down the hatch! Today is supposed to be cloudy, but no rain so I'm going to try to take the pup for a walk later.
5/26 - I feel about 10lbs lighter and look better now that bloating is gone, but the scale doesn't budge much. Oh well. I'm more worried about how I look and feel I suppose. Fasted 17 hours, drank 95oz water, and under calories. Did my kickboxing workout, a mini booty blaster, and then took the pup for a very short lunch walk (it was hot out and stuck to the shade for her paws which limited my available distance). Don't feel overly sore, but doesn't mean I don't have some water retention in my muscles contributing to weight.
5/27 - I might've deserved a gain, but that big of a gain kind of hurts. Fasted 16.75 hours, drank 90 oz water. Going for a workout. My legs are super sore today (from Tuesday) so not sure if I should go for my kickboxing again or do some yoga.
5/28 - That's better! Fasted 18 hours, drank 90 oz water. Right on calorie goal before exercise according to both Fitbit and MFP trackers. I did do some a YWA yoga stretch for my legs. Still a tad sore, but way better now. Had a couple beers later in the evening so my fasting window is pushed out. Going to try to push to 16 hours, but listening to my body. May be going to the lake Sunday if weather holds up for it. I was hoping to be in better shape and feeling a tad more confident in my progress by now but, hey, the journey isn't linear. Today's weight made me feel better that I can push through this and continue getting healthier

5/22: 192.0 (walked/hiked over 2 hours yesterday; learned the hard way that ticks can survive a shampoo; raining today but still plan to do day 2 week 1 of C25k)
5/23 - 192.0 (got medium walk in this morning before the rain returned)
5/24 - 191.5 (sunshine at last! Woods walk in my afternoon! Ordered a new sleeping bag for my little camping adventures, as my old holofill bag from the late 1980s seems to have lost its warmth. I can't go too far because I have horses and poultry, dogs and cats, and nobody I trust to look after them in my absence. But I have found several very nice little camping spots within 1-2 hour's walk of my place, and the rest of my backpacking gear is awesome.)
5/25 - 191.0 (brilliant day out there; off on another long walk today; cool + sunny + breezy = no blackflies (hopefully); repeating week 1 of C25k and it was actually easier than it was last week when I started it; I think it's a good idea if I take my time with this; Delila the hen is determined to hatch out a nest though I keep removing the eggs; as the three roosters are her brothers and her father, I think it's probably a bad idea and I don't need more roosters and I don't eat eggs so it's just a bad all-round idea, as I keep explaining to her)
5/26 - 191.0 (looks like rain out there, and I'm off to the dentist shortly; hopefully any rain will blow over before the afternoon so that I can go out and have a walk in the woods with the blackflies and ticks (and my dogs). Also plan another week 1 episode of C25K. My ultimate plan is to be able to run the 5km race on campus in mid October, in about 30 minutes. Of course, that race might be canceled again this year because of covid. I haven't run it in years. I used to challenge my students: if they could beat me, I'd give them a bonus mark on their semester. Would they make us run it in masks I wonder? Last time I ran it, I came in 59th out of 100 runners, and when another university employee asked how I did and I told her (I was kinda proud and had beat my students), she looked sympathetic and said "never mind; you'll do better next year." What a way to rain on my parade!
5/27 - 190.5 (rainy day, so no long woods walk for me today; I'm going to have to have a go on the elliptical for exercise, At least I got in a short dog walk before the rain set in. I've been eating very well since I started planning and recording everything I eat, and the last few days I have even surpassed my 8c fluids goal, which is usually a trial for me, and I've been getting more than 500 calories of exercise (and I don't use MFP's values because they seem totally out of whack) each day.)
5/28 - 190.5 (rain held off, so we went for a woods walk but many hungry mosquitoes have suddenly joined the fray, so it was pretty hellish, bug-wise with black flies and mosquitoes swarming around, all trying to get a piece of me. And let's not forget the ticks, as much as I'd like to. At least the blackflies and mosquitoes have the decency to stay outside, but the ticks hitch a ride on me and the dogs, right on into the house. Off to the grocery store and the feed store and the tack shop (for horse fly spray) this morning. Am debating if I should get a large dark chocolate bar. Will I have the self-control to eat just one square per day (20 calories)? I dearly love chocolate but don't want to set myself up for a feeding frenzy. And there's day 3 of week 1 C25K for my early evening plans. )
5/29 - 190.0 (goal achieved for this round; yesterday it was beautifully cool and breezy and the bugs, even the ticks, were in short supply, so we had a wonderful 2-h walk. Big black bear (tracks went right past my place) got into the neighbour's compost bin again. Let's hope they (the neighbours) figure it out and leave the compost bin in their big drive shed until trash day. I don't have a garage or drive shed, but apparently my compost bin (I'm a vegan) is not worth bothering with anyway. A few years back a black bear pawed up my car, leaving some scratches and big muddy paw prints all over it. There was no food left in the car overnight, but I had transported dog and cat food in it that day. Today is an easy day for me, just a 1-h walk and some easy upper body work with 5-pound hand weights (it's all I have).)

My first time in front of the google-box since last Friday. So, I have the three days to report here. What you see is a testimony to the care-free weekend I had.
Business lunch out Friday; Out for dinner Friday night with neighbors to thank them for mowing the yard while we were on vacation. All of it a salt and oil fest. Saturday was a day without any thought given to correcting Friday’s wrongs. Sunday was a nice family get together after more than a year of no-contact. Dad cooked on the grill (ribs, salmon) and everyone brought their standards. I was waving the white flag from my recliner before bedtime.
Speaking of recliner, that was my perch for watching the Formula-1 race, the PGA golf tournament, and the Cubs in-10 over the Cardinals. So much for exercise. And, it might be TMI to tell you just about everything I ate is still being carried around like cargo.
There, I confessed it all. Time to buckle down for the week.
5/25: 210.8
Kept things down to a dull roar yesterday calorie-wise. The thing I notice is how crummy I feel after an indulgent weekend. Food for thought. Pardon the pun (not really a pun.)
On another note, has anyone else noticed the spike in cost for certain things? I am doing to basement remodeling, and the cost of wood is through the roof. Painter tells me paint is affected.
5/26: 208.8
This is the result of some eating well and my SPRINT class last night. (and I even forgot to log the frappe I drank yesterday afternoon at an informal meeting.) I am bracing for a jump up in the coming days. That is just how I roll.
The good news is that these minor highs and lows don’t play a significant role in my NSV’s such as how my clothes fit and other things. It is nice to actually be able to wear size “L” in some types of clothing, instead of “XL.”
It is such a pay-off to be paying attention…
I should do it more. 😊
Hoping I used the proper spellings for role & roll above. What do you think @SheilaBoneham , our resident author? For some reason I always think of you grading me when I lay-down my grammar messes. 😊
5/27: 210.4
Chamber of commerce annual breakfast, Jimmy John’s lunch, Costco Hotdog Special for supper (plus half of my wife’s because they are so huge.) All of it wonderfully salty. The tale of the scale.
5/28: 210.8
5/29: 210.8
Had my annual physical on Thursday. Got looked at from every angle. Stuck, poked, prodded. Doc seems to think I am doing ok. I have a good doctor. She genuinely cares and spends time with me and asks about family etc. She has 8 kiddos and I think 6 of them are M.D.’s. (so is her husband) One of her daughters who is now in residency was shadowing her this time.
We reminisced about when I was 40 pounds heavier. Ha!

@Kirk_mfp (feel free to add me!)
40s male, 6'0"
SW: 300.2 pounds
GW: 210.0 pounds
My approach: Move and lift more, keep track of my food, and drink lots of water.
5/22: 300.2 - Newbie here. And holy cow, this is the heaviest I've ever been. Not only have I gained unnecessary weight, but I haven't been accomplishing things inside and outside the home like I have in the past. The garage is turning into a disaster, dishes piling up, etc. Today is the day I turn around and actively update the foods I eat and the exercises I do. My favorite quote for the day: “Most things in life are not so difficult. You just have to work to keep them simple. If you’re truly determined, there is no limit to what you can accomplish.”
5/23: 298.6 - Down 1.6 pounds. Water weight for sure but I'll take any win. I stuck with eating veggies, chicken, and some other meats. I was craving something sugary and carby around 6pm and I must admit, it was a struggle. I was able to do a lot of things around the house like install shower doors and clean throughout the house, just like I was hoping. Things are looking positive and I'm excited for that.
5/24: 296.0 - Down 2.6 pounds. I'm still going strong as far as eating low carbs and sticking with meat and salad. I did get the chills in the middle of the night for a few hours and wonder if that's having to do with sugar with-drawls (the keto flu). Also I'm taking a gout pill here and there, just in case my body feels that protein shock. Gout in the foot is no fun for sure. Well, it's another work week and I plan on sipping on unsweetened almond milk throughout each day and then having a good dinner.
5/25: 295.0 - Down 1.0 pound. Another work day completed at the office. Lots of water had been consumed, lots of good healthy foods too. That was the first evening I haven't felt like chowing down on chips. I haven't exercised yet but maybe that'll wait. We'll see. My focus is on "calories in" right now.
5/26: 293.2 - Down 1.8 pounds. I'm so glad to have this community for my accountability. Seriously, I enjoy reading your inspiring stories and it helps me greatly. Yesterday was more healthy eating and I feel like I'm getting my energy back even though I'm hungry most of the time.
5/27: 291.6 - Down 1.6 pounds. I didn't do many physical activities, but just stayed under-calories. I'm still eating chicken, beef, and veggies. I need to focus on drinking more water today.
5/28: 291.2 - Down 0.4 pounds. I may be to the point if I keep at it, I will lose 1/2 pound a day. I have one last work day ahead of me and then I'll be doing a little vacationing near Seattle. The good thing is I'll be doing lots of walking and hopefully eating moderately. I won't let this weekend ruin me.
5/29: 290.0 - Down 1.2 pounds. Clean eating and feeling pretty good. I'm still not exercising but I think getting control of my food is Step 1. I'm going to try to get 10,000 step every day on vacation this weekend.

Round 151
Goals: 80oz water each day; row 30 mins 7 of 10 days; eat vegetables/fruit; 1200 to 1500 calories; IF most days; no sugar - and if I do all these things, I hope to be back into the 170's!
SW: 181.0
5/22 - 181.4
5/23 - 180.2 - I've been hanging out at 181 for long enough. It was time for a drop. Looks promising to hit 170's this round!
5/24 - 180.0 - The scale was messing with me this morning when it blinked for a second on 179.9, but settled on 180.0 - I'll take it!
5/25 - 179.1 - Goodbye 180's!!
5/26 - 179.1 - Glad this weight stuck around. I'm doing really well rowing, staying within my calorie range (no bingeing!), drinking water, IF and not eating sugar - so happy for all of this. What I'm not doing as well as I could is getting enough vegetables and fruit that I need to be healthy. I WILL do better!
5/27 - 179.2 - I ate more vegetables and fruit yesterday. I made soup and put a ton of veggies in it. It was 90 degrees here in Maine (weird) so that's the day I decide to make soup LOL. It was good though and I had on the air conditioner.
5/28 - DNW
5/29 - 179.2 - Still hanging out at the same weight. I expect a drop any day now (knock on wood). I can't believe I'm still going strong after 19 days!
5/30
5/31 - Goal: 179.9 New Goal: Staying in the 170's
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's

Day/Weight/Comment
05/21 …..209.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
05/22 …..209.6 ….. Good luck everyone one this round. Let’s make it a beautiful one!
05/23 …..210.8 ….. Banana nut bread with choco chips. I went back for another piece last night. The carbs really need to go but I just don’t know how to swing that with my daughter and DGS here. I’ve got to get this figured out and get moving on something before my next doctor appointment or I’ll be put on insulin shots! I’ve got to let that be my inspiration right now!
05/24 …..210.8 ….. Little to no movement due to my schedule yesterday. Eating……so-so. Traveling today so dinner will be out.
05/25 …..209.8 ….. Kept the lunch light yesterday while out of town. I had a very light dinner. I also slept over 5 hours last night (which is good for me). I think all of this helped.
05/26 …..208.6 ….. I’m very pleased to be down 1.2 but I honestly don’t know how it happened. My meals were actually low cal and on the low carb side with good ingredient choices. But there was that dessert my daughter brought in from the little bakery north of town. The choices are always mine. It wasn’t a good one. I was up all night sick to my stomach from the extreme sugar content of it (all). Lesson learned. But I’ll take the 1.2 pound loss !
05/27 …..207.2 ….. Another very light dinner. Very little movement. I’ll try to get in more movement today. The steps should be higher naturally because I am babysitting my DGS while my daughter is at work.
05/28 …..207.0 ….. Good meals, bad snacks. I’ve got to make a better plan when hunger strikes swiftly and strongly. Glad to see a drop on the scale again, however. The carefully planned lunch and dinner portions made the difference.
05/29 …..205.6 ….. Still going strong on good meal planning. Still a bit weak on snack choices. Overall, my carbs and calories are lower and my meals thoughtful to my goal. The scale is rewarding me for my efforts. I’ll try for more movement today. Pizza tonight with my girls being brought in from out of town. A special treat for an early Memorial Day celebration as they have other plans on the actual holiday. I’m going to fast today and plan my nighttime snacks better to allow for the pizza. I hope it doesn’t do too much damage.

🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
5/22 205.6 Walked 4.6 miles, 2006 cal, 133 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Dinner at Central Market Cooking School - lobster sliders, crab appetizer, scallops with spinach & shiitake mushrooms. Nice delayed mother’s day with the kids.
5/23 206.4 Walked 1.6 miles, 1557 cal, 136 net carbs, AF. DH is joining me on this journey again. Pancakes for breakfast? Could that make such a jump in the scale?
5/24 205.2 No exercise, 1457 cal, 93 net carbs, AF. Really yummy chicken salad (mayo, dijon, dill, parsley, green onion, garlic) for lunch then lettuce wrap burger with turnip fries for dinner. Loving that I’m planning menus again to try new things!
5/25 205.1 Walked 1 + 1 + 1 miles between rain storms (jogged 1/2 mile in the rain to return home during the first walk), 2120 cal, 155 net carbs, AF. Lots of snacking in the afternoon … I was tired after waking up too early this morning and should have taken a nap.
5/26 205.3 Walked 1 + 1.3 miles, 1324 cal, 98 net carbs, AF. Very early morning weigh in. Dinner tonight at Rouxpour with a close friend & her husband to celebrate her 60th birthday. Need to look up the menu and plan ahead!
5/27 206.0 Walked 2.7 miles, gardened, 2662 cal, 124 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Extremely rich dinner dining out with lots of seafood w/ butter sauce & cheese fondue as appetizers.
5/28 206.4 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 1 mile, 1790 cal, 120 net carbs, AF. Long car ride, fast food for both lunch & dinner, but didn’t snack! Losing my hold on 205.x and slipping further away from my next goal of 204.x! I need to get it back together.
5/29 206.2 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walk 2.6 miles + .5 miles, 1903 cal, 85 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Lazy day
5/30 206.1 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walk 3.7 miles after the rain, fishing, 1544 cal, 97 net carbs, AF.
