I had some ice cream last night, but apparently it’ll be ok and I’m back on track today. I can’t believe August is almost over. I do love the fall, though, even if it’s full of calorie bombs! It’s a lovely morning here, so I’m off for a walk.
8/31 - 186.8 (187.3) - 1209
It’s a gorgeous morning here — mid-70s, low humidity, clear sky. Lovely! It’s the last day of my summer vacation — back to a serious writing schedule as of tomorrow. Today I’m prepping what I want to work on, going for a long walk to get my creative head straight, and doing some garden cleanup that I’ve let slide in the high heat & humidity. Here are some roses for you from my garden. Wish you could smell them!

Day/Weight/Comment
08/29 …..188.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
08/30 …..189.2 ….. (trend weight 188.5) Not the best way to start. It was a bit of a lazy day yesterday but my meals were on point. However, the snack monster hit me last night and while it wasn’t too bad, it put me over calorie and into the red. Today will be better. I don’t like looking down the throat of the 190’s when I’ve already put that chapter behind me.
08/31 …..186.8 ….. (trend weight 188.3) One day, one step, one decision at a time…… A good day yesterday. Going for another today.
09/01 …..182.8 ….. (trend weight 187.8) I find this weight hard to believe today. 4 pound loss overnight??? (After a 2.4 loss the day before???) My scale is reliable and I stepped on it 3 times but I don’t trust this and consider it a fluctuation. I did everything right. I had TM. I finally slept over 4 and ½ hours which is good for me> But that is a bit much. Traveling today and tomorrow. Plenty of sitting and restaurant food. I’ll be home each night and will keep up with the posts. Friday morning my scale reading will not be pretty but that is how I roll.

8/30: 165.9 - This challenge has been around for almost 4 1/2 years and still going strong! THANK YOU to all of those that were around early on and kept this going, and now sharing your experience and knowledge with others! 4 1/2 years is a testament to just how much this challenge helps so many in countless ways!
8/31: 165.8 - I drank 80oz of water 8 days in a row. I broke my streak with only 56oz yesterday. A year ago I was lucky to get in 16oz. The NSV is it doesn't feel like a chore any longer.

4’9” petite-sm. boned female. 59 yrs
Ultimate goal: 98 lbs (subject to change)
SW (starting over--May 24, 2021): 160.3I started mfp on 2/20/11 at 160.2 lbs.
My lowest weight on mfp was 140 lbs in 11/2013 and 5/2014.
My highest weight ever: 168+ (and I wasn't even pregnant at that time... ) That was in 12/2016.
Just for the record used to be an athlete a long, long time ago. Used to teach Aerobics and Step Aerobics. Used to LOVE exercise.
Nowadays, I don't exercise at all. Why, oh why not? How can I go from loving exercise and doing tons of exercise to nothing at all?
Going from low blood pressure to being on medication for high blood pressure. What have I done to myself?!

@tiabirdie56 & @deepwoodslady From Amazon -
“Is Carbquik keto approved?
Yes, Carbquik fits most ketogenic diets, and yes, it's a fun replacement for low-carb eaters. But here are the dangers. This stuff is HIGHLY processed. The first ingredients are enzyme enriched wheat, vital wheat gluten, wheat fiber, high protein patent wheat flour, soy fiber, and canola oil.”
From me - YIKES! Plus $15 for 48 oz is very pricey, IMHO5 -

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.

8/30 116.5 AF last night but woke up with a headache, Jimmy John’s Unwich planned for early lunch today - YUM!
8/31 118.0 AF again last night and had a headache when I woke at 4:20AM. Several months ago, the doctor had asked if I thought alcohol was causing my headaches. I really don’t drink that much. Maybe a double shot with a liter of diet tonic over several hours. Anyway, I decided to run my own little experiment.
9/1 118.5 AF, no peanuts, no SF dark chocolate. No TMI for a few days. Had a h/a when I went to bed but not when I woke up. Going to lunch with a neighbor today.8 -

09/01 - 146.5 - Ahh, much better. Took way less time to drop this huge amount than normal, but I think my vitamin regime has been helping (a lot of people have said weight loss and a reduction in bloating have been surprising accidental side effects. Maybe I'm one of those lucky ones?) Usually would take until Thursday or Friday for that amount of "gain" to disappear. Happy it did! 90 oz water yesterday which also likely helped. Did go for a run this morning with my new ankle brace. Held up great! My right knee, however, did not fare as well. Likely fatigued due to unintended favoring of the left ankle, so just did a mile. Could've done more, but pup was getting tired and don't want to push and cause serious injury. Every step counts, though, and I did a mile of steps! Even planned dinners for the remainder of this week to reduce food waste and grocery spending (: Tried to make it somewhat balanced, though it's not perfect. New recipes, though, so lots of room for adjustments and improvements. Here's to a great week!

Previous Day's Comments08/30 - Have not been good with water AT ALL. Food has been on the go and high salt. Was super sad to see 150s yesterday, but glad to be back down. Heavily pushing water today to get back down. Definitely feeling this weekend today. No running, I'm super achy from the rain/storms that rolled in and out this weekend.
08/31 - Better. Not perfect, but I didn't expect to drop all the way back down in one day. Don't feel quite as heavy and bloated as I did yesterday. Got about 75 oz water in. Today, aiming for 90oz. Street tacos for dinner tonight and have to stock up on some things (we did a kitchen clean, including tossing old condiments and such from the fridge). Will get me some veggies for lunches. Work gave us $150 for a year of Safety (no recordable incidents or work vehicle accidents) which will help (thankfully, I need it this month! My paychecks are not aligned well with bills due this month or next....I miss having my 1st/15th paychecks) Still no running, still achy and it was sprinkling rain. I'm feeling back on track now.

@quiltingjaine ❤ Yes, I know it's highly processed and full of everything I don't want. It's not a product I use on a regular basis. I bought a box in March 2021 and still have 2 cups of it left. I will buy more to have an occasional low carb biscuit or muffin.
Oh, what I neglected to add in the muffin macros was the fiber count:
13.8 carbs
17.5g fiber 😳3 -

I love my Fitbits! Been a consistent customer since about 2014-2015 time. Customer service was fantastic the one time I had to call them and that definitely made me happy with my decision to stick with Fitbit.
I upgraded to Versa2 when it came out (guestimating about 2 years ago or so) and I LOVE it. I also work in a power plant and it gets rough, dirty, and I get banged up a lot. No cracks, damage, nothing. It's still perfect and completely usable (that, alone, is a miracle 'cause my phone only lasted about a month and a half at the plant and it doesn't get near the abuse my watch does).
My friend, an AVID Apple user, even considered switching to Fitbit. So much so, she applied to a job at Fitbit! (win for me because as the only Android user in our group, she's CONSTANTLY trying to convert me to Apple. The tables have turned ) Granted, I think she's tired of constantly breaking her Apple Watch and having to replace it because we are both clumsy... Mine has held up well enough to get her notice.
Even my grandma uses one now that I've introduced her to it. It's her pedometer so she has the most basic one. But, hey, it's helping her stay as healthy and active as possible in her 70's so I'm happy to indulge her with a new one every few years for her birthday or Christmas (: She loves that we both can have one despite our differences in physical capabilities. I love that I can check on her progress and cheer her on (or kick her butt into gear hah!)
I also love it syncs with just about Everything. Strava, MFP, my HealthMate scale app, etc. I can see so many details and it keeps me on track. When this one finally gives up on me, I'll be comparing everything out there I find to Fitbit to see if it holds up to what Fitbit offers me. Maybe I'm biased, but I love it.
Hope I didn't info-blast you too bad (: Good luck with whatever choice you make! (and let us know if it's something different, I'm always curious to learn more about other options)5 -

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ Round 161 (round 93 for me ) as always, I 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 get back on track – 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.

9/1 117ish Hey all, it’s been a crazy month with moving and work. I’ve missed checking in and reading everyone’s posts. I hope you’ve all been well and that I haven’t missed too much! I’m glad I’m back and ready to get my butt in gear with posting daily again. I’ve missed the daily routine and need it back in my life. I’ve been consistent with my cardio exercise but after moving back to my in-laws home I’ve been slacking on strength. That’s my goal to get to next week and work it into my schedule. I’ve been able to maintain in the 115-117 range, so I consider that a win in and of itself. I’ve also maintained tracking for the most part except for the days that go haywire.

@_JeffreyD_ I had a Garmin for about five years. It syncs well with MFP including adding and subtracting calories when your steps are more or less than a usual day. My last one was coming to its end and I bit the bullet and bought the Apple watch. I love all the bells and whistles and the details I get on all my workouts, including swimming. The exercise syncs with MFP, but no credit for regular daily activity. I'm happy I made the change.
Okay that's two for Apple watch. Thanks for the feedback.4 -

Last round began straight after a camping activity holiday, ended after birthday celebrations and included my TOMO so it wasn't the best of circumstances for monitoring weight, with lots of retaining water and disruptions to my routine. Glad to have reached my goal but now ready to put August behind me and knuckle down. I have a 2.5lb loss goal this round, which might be too ambitious but I have a feeling I'm due a drop in the next day or so. We'll see! Exceeded my step goal total so I'm adding 500 more each day, also adding a sleep goal of 8hrs minimum per night to try and reduce stress levels and attempting to cut out alcohol for Sober September as this can be a real problem for me.
08/30 162.0 STEPS 13,606 SLEEP 8hr14m Didn't eat much yesterday as I was feeling pretty rough, lots of walking and standing around. A really great time with old friends and family but glad to get home and recover!
08/31 160.4 STEPS 8,426 SLEEP 8hr23m Low energy day again yesterday so a little short on steps. Went for a 3 mile walk in the afternoon which wiped me out. Really hungry in the evening and ended up snacking and had a couple of drinks. Feeling much fresher today so hopefully I'll get more activity in.
09/01 161.0 STEPS 9,520 SLEEP 8hrs34m Busy day yesterday, early morning walk then gardening and house reno stuff. I had a proper meal for lunch rather than just a banana but still felt really snacky in the evening so ended up over my cals a little bit. I'm really ready to get into the 150s now. Feeling a bit blue today but I've got a long walk with my mum planned for later which will hopefully lift my spirits.
09/02 159.4 STEPS 13,289 SLEEP 8hrs27m Lovely walk yesterday enjoying all the wild flowers and late summer colours, about 4.5 miles. I recently got the Ordinance Survey GPS app on my phone and it's revolutionised my walks, thoroughly recommend it for UK walkers! Made it into the 150s today, so that's good, trend weight is still 161.7 but it's nice to see as a taste of what's to come😁

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
8/30 203.0 Walked 3.8 + 1, 1402 cal, 81 net carbs, AF. Cancelled plans with friends to dine out since my friend’s family has many in the hospital with covid and DH was not feeling well. Finished reading The Forest of Vanishing Stars by Kristin Harmel.
8/31 203.7 Walked 3.25 + 1 miles, 1568 cal, 172 net carbs, AF. Walked to the library to drop off my book Then another short walk in the evening after dinner with DH. FINISHED my 100 miles for August! I’m walking on the 31st anyway. Scale bumped up due to terrible choices for meals … breakfast - waffles & sausage; lunch - spaghetti & salad; dinner - Salisbury steak w/ rice & gravy & green beans. Few veggies and lots of carbs.
9/1 204.6 Walked 2.4 miles, 2257 cal, 141 net carbs, 1 glass of wine. Slice of Berry Chantilly Cake on top of a late dinner. DH’s sister unexpectedly drove in to stay with us … celebrated her birthday which is Friday since we rarely see her and it was a treat. Not surprised that the scale jumped right up!
9/2 204.3 No morning exercise, feeling blah, walked 1 mile in the evening, 1730 cal, 130 net carbs, 1 glass wine w/ frozen pizza. DH met with allergist over Zoom and he thinks we might have covid … constant headaches for days w/ fatigue, tightness in DH’s chest … prescribed Prednisone for DH. Went to 8 local pharmacies and they were out of the rapid covid test (BinaxNOW). Scheduled PCR Covid 19 test Thursday morning but won’t have the results for 2-5 days. Our son has a rapid covid test and is dropping it off today. Good news is that we are both vaccinated. Not sure where we would have picked up covid … restaurant? grocery store? My sister that is an elementary teacher? Moved trip to fishing camp out to the next weekend.

9/1 117ish Hey all, it’s been a crazy month with moving and work. I’ve missed checking in and reading everyone’s posts. I hope you’ve all been well and that I haven’t missed too much! I’m glad I’m back and ready to get my butt in gear with posting daily again. I’ve missed the daily routine and need it back in my life. I’ve been consistent with my cardio exercise but after moving back to my in-laws home I’ve been slacking on strength. That’s my goal to get to next week and work it into my schedule. I’ve been able to maintain in the 115-117 range, so I consider that a win in and of itself. I’ve also maintained tracking for the most part except for the days that go haywire.
9/2 117.6 Flash flood warnings are still around for a bit so I decided not to run this morning. I’ll use the spin bike after work to get some cardio in, maybe I’ll work a bit of strength into it too. My husband recently accepted a new job after completing his fieldwork and passing his OT license exam. So, he starts that in about a week and half which is super exciting/stressful for him. The last time I was posting regularly I had mentioned having a couple interviews, I decided that role wasn’t a good fit for me and withdrew my application. Now I’m just focusing on building some other skills in my current role to help myself now/in the future.
Have a good Thursday everyone!
