Crossing my fingers that the rapid test we took this morning is correct and that we are negative for covid. Waiting on the PCR test results which takes 2-5 days.
My best friend's uncle was fully vaccinated ... he got COVID 19 delta variant about 3 weeks ago and died in less than a week. He was in his mid to late 70s.
There was a family dinner less than a week before he came down with symptoms. The rest of the family in the same town that were unvaccinated also got it ... in and out of hospital, SIL ventilator, brother rushed to hospital in ambulance twice, etc etc, So far they are surviving but are still not well. The few that were vaccinated (her, her husband, her mom) are not symptomatic and tested negative.
@Lilylady3k I appreciate the information. Especially from a person with close experience and not just the CDC or the WHO. Real info in Real time. I will probably start masking up again (although fully vaccinated) in large public places like the grocery store etc.
I am relieved to hear that your tests have come back negative so far. Hoping it's just a nasty cold!6 -

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.
09/02 …..185.2 ….. (trend weight 187.5)That is more like it. It is still down from day before yesterday and feels more permanent than the extra low scale reading yesterday. More travel today so I know the scale will be up tomorrow (Friday). I am going to count this coming Sunday morning as my accurate weight. That will give me 24-48 hours to exercise again and shed some travel/restaurant water retention. Until then, I’ll type my weight in maintenance black. I’ll be working hard over the weekend to put this travel behind me!
09/03 …..187.5 ….. (trend weight 187.7) Day one of expected bump up after multiple days of travel. Only 3 hours & 1 minute of sleep last night. Only hours between last meal and weigh-in due to lack of sleep. No water yesterday hardly and no TMI today. None of that helps but it certainly contributes. Today will be a good day. Next appointment and travel, barring a medical or renovation emergency, will be on Tuesday. I will be getting things back in order before then.

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.
9/2 118.5 AF, 3/4 oz peanuts, 1 square of chocolate. Woke up with h/a. No hugs necessary as I’m sure it is related to arthritis in my neck and goes away fairly quickly. Definitely not alcohol related!

8/31-- 205.6
9/01-- 205.4
9/02-- 205.6- *Corrected* 205 was all that copied and pasted over for some reason and apparently I was not paying attention. Caught it this morning though.
9/03-- 204.4- a little dip from yardwork yesterday. It was too wet from all the rain to mow, but will be doing it tomorrow for sure. So, I'll have another reason to get out and work up a good sweat and burn some calories.

@quiltingjaine Thank you!
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?!

9/1. 158.8 stress ate yesterday. Very stressful day, yesterday. will prolly show up tomorrow or over the next few days. Was surprised to see this weight. Almost didn’t weigh this morning due to the unhealthy stressful binging.
9/2 158.8 another stressful day... it's almost midnight... and things keep happening. Right now, my Dad is having an issue. Hope he doesn't have to go in the hospital, again... Parents today have kept me, my husband & one of my brothers hopping. Too much to write... oh well. They are being taken care of, right now... so .........
9/3 157.2 I'm thrilled, but this is probably not real since stressful eating took place late last night. Still trying to keep my Dad out of the hospital a little longer... He can't seem to go 60 days without being in the hospital. Those of you who know about Medicare will understand... Also, naturally I'm very concerned about his well being!!!

09/03 - 146.1 - Slowly inching down. Surprising given dinner and only getting 60 oz water yesterday. Plus a generous glass of wine. Had leftover turmeric coconut chicken curry for lunch. A bit behind on water, but nothing I can't make up. Rearranged the living room to make room for a recliner (our friend is loaning to us for an indeterminate time).

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.
09/01 - 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!
09/02 - Was a bit afraid dinner last night would cause a bump up. A coconut turmeric chicken curry. Quite quick and delicious (though a tad bit labor intensive according to BF who cooked while I set up for my fantasy football draft). 90 oz water down the hatch and aiming for that again today. Leftover curry for lunch and chicken ranch stuffed shells for dinner (note to self: take the lactose pills!)

@Elbee1. Prayers for your family as well!
And for all of us!!!!!
I hope they are all well!
My DIL's twin brothers in their mid 20s had covid July 2020 and then got it again worse than the last time this year in August 2021. Neither are vaccinated. They are now planning to seek the vaccines which are also required for their jobs but they were avoiding it thinking they were immune. I'm not sure there is such a thing at this point.6 -

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 Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessarily. People are still dying out there………
😷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:JGM10D ~|~ Round 161 🔹Posting weight and comments each evening.- 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.

I am sitting this round out. I think the fluctuations are getting to me a little too much, even though I have been a daily weigher for years. The book I am reading right now “Prime Time Health” recommends monthly weigh ins, but not sure I will make it that long, lol. I am still logging food & trying to keep step count up.
I vote for Fitbit..I have had various ones for years. Started with the first clip on kind, then a One (also clip on), the Charge hr (used one from DD), now a Charge 2. I cracked the face of this a year ago & am waiting for it to die, then might get the new smaller one (can’t remember the name of it). But I don’t have an I-phone, so an Apple Watch is not a good choice for me. DD loves her Apple Watch, tho.6 -

The sun is out and I think the summer has finally arrived here. But the back lawn is already heavily sprinkled with fallen golden leaves, so maybe it's autumn. In any case it looks to be a nice weekend.

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.
