Day/Weight/Comment
07/30 …..194.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/31 …..192.4 ….. Goodbye water retention! A nice whoosh after being up shedding water all night. I got 6 hours and 10 minutes of sleep which is AMAZING for me so even that didn't interfere with wonderful sleep! Yesterday I was just under allotted calories (I don’t eat back exercise). I didn’t get very much movement in and my water intake was low again. A so-so day but the scale rewarded me for my efforts at home (even though my travel habits are still yet to be desired). Welcome to all the newbies. You will love it here! Thanks Jaine for another round!

08/01 …..191.4 ….. Didn’t have much time to eat yesterday and dinner was very late (within 1 hour of bed). No water here since yesterday morning due to well problems. Seal was fixed (???) but no one can get the pump primed. Perhaps the check gauge went out when it was turned off? IDK but this is horrible!

08/02 …..189.6 ….. Wow! I did not expect that even though yesterday was a good day plan-wise. However, no water since Saturday morning due to the well pump problems. I contacted a local plumber who is not sure if he can come today or tomorrow. Ugg. Anyway, I am being sparse on all water usage to save for toilet so I am probably a bit dehydrated. I don’t know that this weight will stick. I am never confident in a new weight bracket until I hit a certain number within it. If I get to 187 point anything, I will feel it is real. Had some peanut butter last night to up my protein. OMGosh. I’ve been counting carbs so long I didn’t realize how many calories were in there! That put me at the top of my calorie allowance and I couldn’t have a snack later. I don’t think I will do that again anytime soon!

08/03 …..190.4 ….. Gorgeous beautiful clean water flowing from my well again. This uptick is from some massive rehydrating and that cheese pizza last night (both at the same time!). I threw away the crust and kept my calories at 1275 with 503 in the green. So this is likely the water weight and I am hopeful that I can actually dip back into the 180’s soon! When I picked the pizza up from the convenience store (pizza shop was closed), I carried around a bag of little Debbie donuts for dessert (which I put back and didn’t buy). I also put the icecream back into the freezer. And that cheese Danish went right back on the shelf after I carried it around for 5 minutes waiting on the pizza. I held each item close to my heart and longed for them individually or together. But I decided not to self-sabotage and I am so glad I was strong enough. I kept the pizza at 700 calories and made up for it later to stay within goal. That is my NSV and I’m pretty darn proud of it!

08/04 …..191.6 ….. I ended up going out of town yesterday to do some shopping for DGD 1st birthday coming up. Also some building supplies for drywall project. Got my son out of the house and had a nice but high calorie dinner. Today I woke up tired and unrefreshed. However, I will try to get in more movement, drink more water and watch my diet more carefully. It may take a few days but this will come back down.

08/05 …..191.2 ….. Still fighting some water retention from the travel but this looked better on the scale. Well stopped working again yesterday morning so all day yesterday was sheer hell. Doctors appointments today and no easy way to be clean. Part-time neighbor is here visiting next door. I’m going to hit him up for some shower for me and son. This sux!

08/06 …..191.0 ….. Great doctor’s report yesterday. My A1C went from 13.7 down to 9.4 since my May appointment. My Dr. was thrilled. I go back next month for another check. My weight was down 21 pounds from my May appointment. Another good news: The dealership delivered my new(er) vehicle today to me. I love it! I’m hoping it will do as well in the winter months as my last one. Bad news: Although water is still running so far (well man got it going yesterday evening) it is clammering and clanking and he doesn’t think it will hold up. We are planning a new well pump next week. At first he said this weekend, then texted the change. Praying water will keep flowing until then. My University Hospital oncology appointment and mammogram appointment is next Thursday. I am watching extra carefully everything I eat and do until then. Weight is key to the type of cancer that I have (in remission). I want them to know I am trying really hard to do my part.

08/07 …..190.0 ….. Happily it’s still going back down. I still have water and I haven’t seen the bat so all is well today in this tiny little Northern Michigan USA town.

08/08 …..xxxxx …..

08/09 …..xxxxx …..

I was after an elusive 85 lbs loss 😂 but 83 will do me fine.
• in Maintenance for over 2 years.
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal range

😷Take care! Stay safe!😷

August focus:

maintain weight < 150 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
Work on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale

I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
Aims:

2021 Focus:

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

SW: 180.0
Challenge Goal: 173.5

Ended up last challenge over my starting weight. I know it’s just water retention, but it’s super frustrating nonetheless. I set my goal based on last challenge’s goal.

Adding my Happy Scale Trend because these fluctuations are messing with my head. The trend gives me a better view of my overall progress.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/1: 178.8, Trend 177.8
8/2: 178.4, Trend 177.9. Time to change things up. Upping my cardio and adding strength training.
8/3: 176.2, Trend 177.8
8/4: 175.0, Trend 177.7. Finally. Now will it bounce up again tomorrow?
8/5: 174.8, Trend 177.4
8/6: 174.2, Trend 176.8. Back to work tonight and all weekend. I expect my weight will do wonky things, but I’ll do my best.
8/7: 175.4, Trend 175.1. Drank only about a third of my water last night. 😔

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ Round 158 (round 90 for me ) I continue to need this to help keep me on track!
@QuiltingJaine- thank you yet again for setting up the new challenge.

Challenge for this round is to continue yet again to work back towards maintenance– any loss will be a win! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we have reached “freedom day”, but remember there is still a pandemic, continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in crowded indoor settings, always consider 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.

SW:. 133.2
Day/Weight/Comment

7/31. 133.2 - good start to the round, let's keep it!! Under calories and all macros yesterday, just over 8 miles walked yesterday in-between rain!!
8/1 133.6 - 12.7 miles walked, well within calories & macros.
8/2. 133.6 - no structured walking yesterday; a big family celebration for the 1st liversary (liver transplant) for our 18 month DGS, brave little lion who has fought off so much in his little short life. Moments of remembrance too for the absent hero who together with her family so generously and unselfishly donated her liver & realisation that the 1 year anniversary will be so different for them, but she lives on in our little miracle, we will always be grateful, she will stay in our hearts forever. So grateful to NHS & wonderful surgeon too.
Can't deny I indulged; we had BBQ, cake and the adults a tad of champagne. 400 calories over, back to normal service today!
8/3 133.6 - 15.88 miles yesterday, we did 3 mile detour after encountering a field of cows in our path on our planned hike & cuz we've had a couple of "unsavoury" incidents with cows in the past if we can avoid them
we will!! All calories and macros in credit.
8/4. 134.4 - 14.2 miles walked yesterday. Calories and macros in credit.
8/5 134.4 – 9.67 miles walked yesterday before we headed home from our 5 day break in the Peak District, calories in credit but macros 36g over.
8/6 134 – 5.97 miles walked yesterday very briskly pushing DGS in buggy before the rain came ! Calories & all macros in credit.

8/7 135.2 – bbq last night with SIL & partner, ate over, but didn't go too mad & stopped when I'd had enough which is a NSV as often this is the recipe for starting a full 2 day binge! Ate late & also had quite a few alcoholic beverages interspersed with glasses of water. Nibbles were crisps & nuts, so sodium heavy!! This morning I need so much water!! 40oz straight off !! 10.93 miles walked yesterday. It is pizza night tonight, heavy carbs so may take a few days to lose this up tick.
8/8 135.4 – 10.51 miles walked yesterday, calories well in credit. Carbs 5g over; last day to make it count for the end of the round, but heavy rain makes walking doubtful today

8/8:. .165.0. . .oh, this has suddenly got to be really hard work and I am so hungry in the evenings, when I've run out of calories and don't want to drink a whole lot (for obvious reasons, sorry for TMI). Hopefully this is just a stage I'm passing through and not the shape of things to come. And speaking of the shape of things to come, I'm definitely in that going-to-look-worse-before-I-look-better stage. The ugly duckling stage before the cute little yellow ducklings turn into pretty ducks and are only half way there. There was a skunk around in the night, but fortunately the smell didn't linger this morning, though I guess it lingered enough to enrage the dogs. I don't know what it is about dogs and skunks, but they really set them off. Hang in there everybody. Long walk in the plans for today.

Round 158
SW: 194
Day/Weight/Comment
7/31: 194 - planning to walk to/from the movie theater today and to get in an upper body strength workout

8/1: 194.8 - Leg day was on Friday. I was hoping I’d skate by on soreness because yesterday wasn’t bad, but I’m feeling it today! I’ve done a good job on calories for the last few days, so I’m not at all worried about the weight gain. I’ve read that’s normal when starting strength training.

8/2: 194 - Yesterday’s strength work focused on my core. My whole body is sore today, but my legs less so than yesterday, which is great. I also rode my indoor bike yesterday. Managed to stay within my calorie range yet again.

8/3: 194.2 - Rest day yesterday. Felt good to do nothing much while my body recovered. Today was a lot more busy on the exercise front, but I also ate a bit more than I meant to. Oh well. Tomorrow is a new day.

8/4: 193.4

8/5: 192.4 - Happy with this number, but it’s going to go up tomorrow. I had a big lunch (plus dessert) with my coworkers. The truffle fries were delicious! It remains to be seen whether or not they will be worth the uptick in my weight though.

8/6: 193.6 - Oof!

8/7: 192.6: Yesterday was arms day on the workout front. Not bad at all! Today is leg day and I’m not looking forward to it. Took a sneak peak at what’s in store for me and it’s basically nothing but lunges. My knees! Will definitely be doing some modifications. The rest of the day will be a lazy one. Going out for brunch and a movie. I’m going to try to be good at brunch time on the calorie front.

8/8: 192.6 Had chicken and waffles at brunch yesterday. I saw people eating delicious looking cinnamon rolls, but I stuck to my plan and didn’t have dessert. Going to see another movie today, which I’ll walk to and from. I’ve also got an upper body workout to do. Busy day!

JourneyAlone · August 2021

CSW: 299 lbs (07/30/21)

Been working on my weight-loss eating plan.( Low carb Mediterranean) Little bit of meat, a little dairy, Eggs in moderation twice a week, and no more than 2 eggs at one time.. Lots of veggies, and some fruit (mostly berries).
I have found that this eating plan works best for keeping my blood glucose in check.

I'm a type 2 diabetic. My A1C last time it was tested was a (10.9) which is dangerously high. My goal is to get it down to 7'' range and then into the 5'
(10.9 - my blood glucose testing daily was in the high 300's to mid 400' rang.
My daily testing is now beginning to lower to the 200" and 100" rang. Once I reached a 91. Would love for my reading to be between the 80's and 90's on a daily basis. I believe if I keep my diet clean and low carb, and continue to work on my weight-loss, with exercise, I'll reach this goal.

This way of eating is not for everyone, we are all different and have to find out what works best for ourselves.

I have learned to check my sugar before eating and 1 & 2 hours after eating to find what food raises my blood glucose level. Foods that raise it high, I don't eat no more. I've tried a lot of diets out there and found this works best for me. I have slowly been getting rid of overly processed food, and trying to eat as clean and whole foods as I can.

My goal is to incorporate some exercise into my daily routine, once I'm able to do and build from there as I'm physically able to.
I believe the few ounces I've gained are nothing to worry about, my body is adjusting to the new way of eating and well start showing weight loss soon. Just have to be patient.

Day/Weight/Comment:

7/31: 294.2 lbs ⬇️ (4.8 lbs) Since the restart of my weight-loss journey, two days ago, most of what I've lost will be water. Just hope weight will be less on last day of this round and not more.🙂

8/1: 294.6 ⬆️ ( 4 oz)

8/2: 295 ⬆️ (4 oz) Still heading in the wrong direction. 😓 Retaining a lot of water, 💧 Hopefully, this will reverse soon and start going in the right direction.

8/3: 295.2 ⬆️ (4 oz)

8/4: 293.8 ⬇️ (-1.4 lbs) Finally a loss. 🪅 Since theirs still 5 days left in the challenge maybe I'll have a good loss for my first round. 😄 Thinking Positive!!

8/5: 294.8 ⬆️ This is definitely my fault over ate for dinner. 😡

8/6: 295 ⬆️ (+ 2oz) Did really good yesterday, stayed below my daily calorie amount, Still a increase in weight. Don't understand? Today will lower my daily allotment to 1,200 calories and see if this will help. MFP stated I needed 1,533 calories a day to lose weight obviously not. I'm still under my start weight on the July 30th which was 299 so I'm 4 lb below that. We'll see if this drop in daily calories will get the lbs coming off in the right direction. 😓

8/7: 292.8 ⬇️. (-2.2 lbs from yesterday) (-6.2 lbs from beginning weight) Woohoo!! 😄 So Happy!! to finally see a loss. All I seemed to do was gain a little weight each day. I thought the scale would show another gain this morning, what a very nice surprise. 😍
Ate healthy and had more water then I usually do yesterday. Hope to lose a little more in the next 2 days, but, will be Ok, if I don't lose any more as long as I don't gain any weight by end of this round.

8/8: 291.2 ⬇️ (-1.6 lbs) Most of this round my weight seemed to climb a little more each morning.😡 However, the past two days, I have lost all the gained weight and passed it by nearly 4 lbs. Still doing a happy dance!! 💃😍 💃

Age: 62 5’6” 
SW: 261 (6/3/21) 
CW: 242 (7/30/21) 
UGW: 175
End of 10 day challenge goal: 239

Drink a minimum of 64 oz water a day 
Swim, Circuit, Hike (5x week minimum)  
Previous Challenge 156: 245.4 (-1.8)
 Previous Challenge 157: 242.0 (-3.4)

7/31 - 241.8 (-.2) I’m surprised that I dropped. I had my indulgence meal last night and expected a bump. But I’ll definitely take it. I did count my calories as close as I could figure out and was only a few hundred above my daily allowance. I worked out at Orange Theory Fitness yesterday. I have a two day workshop today and tomorrow so I’m planning to take my snacks and lunch.
8/1 - 242 (0) I walked for about a half hour yesterday just to get a little exercise in after sitting most of the day in class. I stay within my calorie goal and have a bit of a bounce, but not too bad. I’m going to miss my Sunday hiking today, but am really enjoying this class.
8/2 - 242.6 (+.6) Ahhh. Here’s the bounce from my indulgence meal on Friday night. I’m expecting to do well for the rest of the week and will finally get back to my exercise routine. I stayed within my calorie goals over the last two days during class.
8/3 - 242.2 (+.2) Yesterday, I worked for a friend in his shop all day. It was a crazy day on my feet, which hasn’t happened for a very long time. It was exhausting and challenging. I told him I’d help a couple days a week. After a weekend workshop and yesterday’s work, I haven’t been in my regular exercise routine. Today is swimming…back in the pool. I’m really looking forward to it.
8/4 - 241.2 (-.8) Swimming was wonderful and I did eat all my calories including 500 exercise calories. Today I’m back at the shop and adding in a couple extra hundred calories for my active day that won’t show up as exercise.
8/5 - 241.8 (-.2) Yesterday was another busy day working at the frame shop. I ate dinner late and am not surprised I had a bit of a gain. Hoping today’s swim and getting in my food before 6pm and drinking all my liquids will mean a really good loss tomorrow.
8/6 - 241.2 (-.8) I little disappointed, but still plugging away. Yesterday’s swim was wonderful and I’m heading to Orange Theory Fitness this morning. I’ve been reading the posts under “What No one Tells You About Losing Weight” on MFP and it’s been really inspiring.
8/7 - 240.8 (-1.2) My indulgence meal is today. I’ll definitely count it and go from there. I’m walking with my dogs at one of our amazing dog parks. We’ll all have fun and get some good exercise.
8/8 - 241 (-1) Up a little today and probably more tomorrow since I had my indulgence meal yesterday. I tried on my size 22 jeans last night and they were really big. Not so big they’ll fall down, but it was a good way to measure some of my progress. I’m into my size 20’s.

Hiking is on the exercise menu today.
