Day/Weight/Comment
07/10 …..197.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/11 …..197.6 ….. Same weight as yesterday. I was thrilled to get to 197 point anything but now it is hanging on too long and even fluctuating in a not so good way some days. Time to make some more real and lasting progress this round. Good luck everyone!
07/12 …..195.8 ….. The scale finally budged (and in the right direction!). Sometimes I forget that it takes it few days to see changes (both good and bad). Yesterday was a good day although water and movement was a bit insufficient. Meals were on target. I am going to run with the ball today and remember that every day matters. I have a lot of travel and social engagements that often derail me (most of us do!) I’ve got to allow these days that will be spent at or near home count!
07/13 …..195.2 ….. I ate very very late last night so I am only too happy to still see progress on the scale. The calories weren’t bad but the sodium was probably through the roof. Pushing water today!
07/14 …..196.0 ….. Up a bit from sodium for the last two nights. I’ve got to start choosing something that isn’t filled with salt when I get hungry. My weakness is sweets though and I’ve been avoiding that successfully. However, today is a short 25 mile road trip out of town to take my son and his new friend to the Dairy Queen. I will have lunch with them but I will try to choose wisely to allow for a bit of ice cream. I will also try to get in some yard walking and stair climbing in the house today. Workers will be here this afternoon so I can’t go far. Water…water…water. I am still down from the start of round and my trending weight continues to go down. I’ve got to get that BMI down though. I am still at over 32. Obese. A lot to work on during this long journey, but I’m up for the challenge.
07/15 …..196.8 ….. Drats! Dairy Queen is bad, Very Very Bad. I checked the nutritional labels last night (after the trip, why oh why not before?). Did you know that a medium turtle pecan Blizzard has 900 Calories???? OMGosh! So I had one single burger and the blizzard. The rest of the day was great. Over 10,000 steps. A short walk too. My calories in were still less than my calories burned but still a gain. I don’t always understand that. I will say no TMI x2 now and I know that water retention is always a contender too. We shall see what tomorrow brings. Today will be a redemption day. The good news, my trending weight is still going down.
07/16 …..195.6 ….. Goodbye Sodium and water retention. I expected this whoosh! I had a very low calorie day yesterday while staying thoughtful to carbs. It payed off.
07/17 …..195.4 ….. I bent down (without thought) to tighten my sandal straps yesterday. When I was done I realized I had bent in a fluid motion, no effort, no strain. No hefty breathing when done. No feeling like my head was going to explode. No belly got in the way. Big belly is still here but it must be smaller. I need to start measuring again (I was faithful with it before Covid). Wow, I actually fixed my straps like a normal healthy person! If that is not motivation, I don’t know what is! Today will be a good day!
07/18 …..194.8 ….. Yesterday I logged my food for the first time since before Covid. I had been keeping track in my head but that is not always accurate. Best to have the real and complete stats! I had to change my macros around and may have to play with them a bit to get them right, but I feel like it’s a brave move I was ready for again. It’s like looking in a mirror when you follow your daily intake and macros. I am finally ready for it. My biggest fear is that I don’t always make the healthiest choices even if I am within my goals. I need to take that head-on!
07/19 …..194.0 ….. This may be artificially low due to extra low calorie yesterday. I ate so late I just couldn’t fit in all the food I’d planned for the day before bed. I scrubbed down the outside of my house yesterday which burned a lot of calories. Also some gardening and general yard work. I nice little hike yesterday too. Low cal minus Extra burn equals a loss but will it last? Almost to the end of the round. Where did the time go? Summer is going by too fast!
07/20 …..194.4 ….. Absolutely no reason for the 0.4 gain overnight. Calories were all in the green. Carbs were also below goal. No super high-sodium foods. So I typed my weight in stable black instead of fuchsia or blue. I am down 3.2 pounds this round so I am very happy overall. It is wonderful seeing all the great progress by so many each round. See you in the next one!

Four days to get under 72.2!!
21/07/17 72.7. 160.1 what?! Crazy
21/07/18 72.9. 160.38 post party
Fingers crossed it falls off as quickly as it appeared. Monthly average wts is 159.1 which is too close to 160. I can feel I have a little more wt on my midsection & I don’t like how it feels. Kept calories low today, but fiber went way too high. Fat went down. Such a juggling game - difficult to figure it all out sometimes.
21/07/19 72!!! 158.4
Feeling slimmer! Calories even lower today. Kept fruit at 5-6 servings, so fiber was great at 23!!Yay
Protein perfect! Sat fat low! Sodium great! It’s all coming together again!
Monthly average:159
Most importantly: my appetite is back to being a non-issue ❤️
21/07/20 159. On to Round 157!! Freggies are helping. Hunger had decreased. More optimistic than I’ve been that I’ll get back to 157.3. Tightening down in my daily calories.
Round 157:
Round 156: 158.8 ➡️159
Round 155: 158.6 ➡️159
Round 154: 158.5 ➡️158.8
Goal for Rounds 157 & 158 (next 2 rounds): get back to 157’s.

12: 206.9 🥚It's been challenging for me to keep any kind of healthy routine with the kids home from school. Today is my day 1 to turn this around before any more time passes. My weight is up, but taking into consideration that I'm in my ovulation week this will likely drop quickly by the end of the round.
13: 204.6 🥚 Heading out the door for day 2 at the gym. Really happy with my how yesterday went with elliptical, IF, supplements, and 88oz of water. Could've done better on carbs, but had the meal planned/purchased before I decided to get back on track.
14: 204.9 🥚 Small uptick is almost certainly from water retention. My muscles are very sore today from two consecutive days at the gym after taking a few weeks off. I also did a full body facia blasting session last night. Today is a rest day from the gym and blasting.
15: 204.9 🥚 Still sticking to my healthy routine. By Sunday, I should see I significant drop.
16: 205.6 🥚 Rolled my left ankle pretty badly yesterday. It's bruised and swollen, but I can walk almost normally. Lots of ice, arnica, and ibuprofen. No gym for at least a couple of days. Had a few drinks with friends last night and a little bit of bar food. Not even worried about the gain. It'll be gone soon. Had a fun night, and that's the important part to me.
17: DNW 🥚 Got stung by something last night while sitting at a friend's house. Not positive what it was, but I had a pretty significant reaction within a couple minutes. Most of my forearm was red with a big welt. Then I started to feel really weird, thought I may have a sudden fever because I had cold sweats, my heart rate was 121 (which I didn't know until checking Fitbit this morning), told my friend that something was wrong and that I needed to get inside to the couch. Apparently, after that I stood up, took a couple of steps up onto her front stoop, and stumbled into the front doorway, hitting my head and scraping my knee as I tried to catch myself from completely falling down. She said I kind of crumpled into a sitting position on the stoop and was briefly responsive but then completely fainted. I remember coming to and asking what just happened. She called 911 and had someone come check on me, but thankfully I was feeling much better even in the few minutes it took them to get there. I later ended up having hives on both wrists and my hands were very itchy until I iced them. I've never fainted in my life and have never had a systemic reaction to any type of insect sting or bite, so I'm hoping to see a doctor on Monday for some follow up. Taking it easy and tracking the continual growth of the welt on my forearm today while I get lots of rest, benadryl, and ice.
18: 208.0 So much for a significant drop by today. It's been a rough couple of days. Between inflammation from my rolled ankle and probably the sting, laying in bed unable to get up and move because of rolled ankle, and not eating well for a couple days I guess I'm not surprised by the gain. I'm feeling pretty down from all this, but I'm hoping I'll be mobile again tomorrow or Tuesday.
19: 206.7 Got in to see the on-call Dr at the local clinic this morning, picked up a pack of EpiPens and got scheduled for allergy testing. They said they have to wait at least 6 weeks to see me to make sure that whatever I reacted to is completely out of my system. I had no idea it could take that long! Thank you @tiabirdie56 , @fmfdfa2020 , @chublet25 , & @quiltingjaine for the info and kind words. I really appreciate the support. Sorry if I missed anyone.
20: 206.7 Didn't make my goal, but at least I didn't gain. 🤷🏽

Ah yes, we did our’s back in Dec 2015. About 2-3 hours for about a week, but there was lots to do!
Over the intervening years, we’ve done 2-3 passes of drawers, shelves etc GRADUALLY (it’s much easier refining than doing the initial big purge) but you will be SO MUCH happier!! 😁3 -

I don't want to weigh in tomorrow as it will likely be the most I've ever weighed in my entire life... but I will do it. I'm tired of using stress as the excuse. (My Dad in he hospital, again, at 1am this morning. 3rd time to be rushed to the ER in the last few weeks. It had been less than 1 week since he was last discharged from the hospital).

These are Big Goals for me, but I suspect that they are achievable.
Mini goal-To become Overweight! I'm 4 pounds away, so I hope to achieve this goal sometime in July.
long term goal-to reach normal on the BMI scale in 2021. My son tells me that if he reaches for the moon, at least he'll and among the stars. I'm borrowing his motto.
longer term goal-to reach mid range normal on the BMI scale in 2022.
even longer term goal-to maintain normal range on the BMI scale in 2022 forward.
SW: 278

7/11 206 I'm 206 back in business, as I've been traveling. I got a scale from Costco today as I'd been without for a while. I'll take that pound + loss as I've been to a wedding, and then driven 10 hours the other day (yes-I ate at McDonalds while driving from New Mexico to Denver!) I've eaten better since arriving in Denver. And am about to be on my way to Minnesota. I'm 4 pounds away from being overweight! So I hope this mini goal will keep me focused while aiming for these Big Goals. I can reach them.
7/13 210 Really? Up 4 pounds from sitting in a car all day, eating Junk food on the road?
7/14 I swam at the Y. Nice to be swimming laps again with the post covid lockdown lifting! the hot tub there is the icing on the cake.
7/15 207.4 Not too bad of an increase after a few days on the road. Adios to quick stops at McDonalds! Back to preparing my own food, despite my little brothers penchant for chocolate. We're now stopping for several months at my brother's place in Minnesota. Yeah for my food scale, my scale for weighing myself (not only my food), and a kitchen for my own food prep! Now to put it all to use in my declining weight over the next few months. Revised goal for this challenge is to get back to where I was when I started this challenge (206). Mini summer goal is still to become overweight (5.4 pounds to goal) then on to Onederland. It's all doable this summer! Salads, guacamole, hummus and protein- here I come!
My left arm is sore from swimming laps yesterday. Taking it easy today to et my muscles heal. Perhaps going from chilling in a car for 10 hours a day, to swimming 45 minutes is not easing into an exercise regimen when in your late 60s!
7/16
7/18
7/19 210 uh oh!
7/20
7/21 206.2 At east I'm close to where I started 10 days ago. Up .2bs. I'll have to get my rear in gear for the next challenge!
