Hi I weigh in kg and also record my happy scale trend. My maintenance goal weight is 52kg although I am happy to be a bit below to allow for indulgences!
I failed to complete round 158 and missed 159 and 160 and I’ve been gaining since round 155 👿. Time to get back to doing what I know I need to do.

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 8hr34m 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 8hr27m 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😁
09/03 158.8 STEPS 9,694 SLEEP 7hr2m Good day yesterday, although being lazy in the evenings and snacking is starting to creep in, uh oh! Maybe I need to start going to the gym in the evening to keep my energy levels up and stay occupied. I've been waiting until I get down to 150lbs before joining any classes but I could go and use the weights and machines I suppose...
09/04 157.6 STEPS 2,053 SLEEP? I really didn't expect this loss today and probably don't deserve it as I had a REALLY lazy day yesterday resting and watching telly, just goes to show you can't predict when your body will decide to let go of some weight. Gonna try and make up for it today with a really long walk, everyone's away for the weekend so I can do whatever I like! Target steps today 15,000
09/05 157.8 STEPS 20,926 SLEEP 7hr42m Glad to see this number hasn't jumped up much since yesterday, I was expecting a few pounds gain as I'm feeling really stiff this morning and no tmi. Proud of myself for doing a 9 mile walk solo across countryside using the Ordinance Survey map app as a guide, I absolutely love the freedom and confidence it gives me, you know you're not going to get lost or be yelled at for trespassing and you get to see the most beautiful peaceful places. I did get chased by a bull though!
09/06 158.8 STEPS 9,303 SLEEP 4hr32m Not surprised to see a water gain today, it's a combo of still feeling stiff from Saturday, a poor night's sleep, drinking beer and eating a meal which included bread. It's a new week so back on best behaviour!

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!
9/01 - 186.6 (187) - 1267
Happy September, all! Gorgeous morning here, high 60s, and I’m off for a walk.

Apparently I forgot to check in yesterday. Hmmm. Just filled in the numbers. Today’s uptick is from Wed’s splurge. All good! Lots going on here this weekend — news to follow!
9/04 - 188.2 (187.5) - 1787 (Ave 1435)
Oopsie. Some comfort eating last night. Nothing horrible, just too much of it.
9/05 - 187.8 (187.6) - 1030 (Ave 1335)
Yesterday was a big day here — meet Rory, our new family member! Australian Shepherd, 10 weeks old tomorrow. He’s doing really well.
9/06 - 186.8 (187.4) - 901
I didn’t intend to go that low on calories, but wasn’t hungry after a big lunch, so I went with it. Rory and I went for his first walk this morning, not too long, and he did great. He’s going to be a great walking partner. Wishing you all a good Labor Day.

8/30 235.2 (-.4) Yesterday, my sister and I hiked almost 6 miles. It felt great to get back in the groove after not exercising so much last week. I took time to assess why I was discouraged over the last few days and wrote this blog post. https://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/coblujay/view?id=the-weight-loss-grumps-a-twelve-week-update-995464 I never planned to give up, but this clarity has really helped me approach this next phase with more focus and a good plan.
8/31 235 (-.6) I ate late last night and didn’t get enough water. I was within my calorie goal so I’m expecting a decent loss tomorrow or Wednesday. Today I’m swimming and taking my dogs for a long walk. Feeling hopeful!!
9/1 233.4 (-2.2) There it is. I know I’ve been working hard, but the scale has been slow to respond. I drank all my water yesterday, ate earlier and swam 725 yards. It’s nice to see the payoff.
9/2 231.4 (-4.2) I stepped on the scale twice just to make sure. How could I drop 2 pounds in one day after dropping 1.6 the day before? That would be fabulous if it’s accurate, but I’ll give it a few days to see if it’s real. Still pretty happy!!
9/3 230.8 (-4.8) I’m pleasantly shocked by the drop over the last few days. I’ve heard of whooshes, but didn’t know I could drop this quickly months into this journey. Yesterday I swam 1050 yards. I’d been challenged by a friend who is swimming also, so I just kept swimming until my tracker hit over 1000. Today is my indulgence meal and I’ve been looking forward to it for the last few days. So, tomorrow and Sunday I’ll have a bump up in weight before starting back down.
9/4 230.6 (-5.0) Still expecting a bump from my indulgence meal yesterday. Prepping for an art show, so I didn’t get much exercise in yesterday or even today. Tomorrow is hiking with my sister.
9/5 230.6 (-5.0) No bump so far. I can’t believe how quickly these ten day rounds go by. It feels like this one just got started. Looking at the previous challenges reminds me that even 1.4 pounds lost every ten days adds up to a big improvement in my health. Today, I’m grateful.
9/6 230.4 (-5.2) My sister and I hiked 3.5 miles yesterday at a slow pace on easy trails so we could take the dogs with us. It was a beautiful day. Today we are back on our usual trails with a higher intensity. What a great way to start off this new week.9 -

My goal for 2021 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, strength training, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹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; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

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.
9/3 204.1 Walked 3 + 3.8 miles, 1588 cal, 116 net carbs, AF. Our son brought us a BinaxNOW covid home test kit … it was negative! So we both must have really bad colds since Sunday. The Prednisone is working for DH. Waiting for the PCR test results. Decided to skip strength training class this week since I didn’t want to expose the others in the class.
9/4 203.9 Walked 3.4 + 1.3 miles, 2026 cal, 159 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine.
9/5 203.9 Hiked 1.3 miles in Austin … time in a car 3 hrs both ways today, 1893 cal, 150 net carbs, <1/2 glass beer with lunch, 2 glasses wine with dinner.
9/6 203.2 Walked 3.1 miles, 1976 carbs, 194 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine.

Celebrating Labor Day & my sister's birthday at lunch today with our kids and their spouses. DH & I were up off and on last night smoking a brisket. Not a diet friendly lunch planned ... jalapeño cheese potatoes, zipper cream peas, roasted broccoli, grapes, strawberries, and cupcakes! Raining this morning ... the yard will be a mess when everyone brings over their dogs to play together. Putting lots of towels at the back door.

I know it seems like a lot, but on March 23rd of this year I had 99 pounds to go, so the 29.5 does sound a whole lot better. This is my last day of summer; classes start tomorrow. Luckily tomorrow I have just one class - Business math (it's just as dull as it sounds though I try, perhaps desperately, to make it fun). And it is a class for 2-year diploma students, mostly farming students, and they have a whole different mindset than the 4-year university stream. And I always feel a whole lot better about the semester once I meet the students (who will all be masked!) and realize that there are no scary weirdos in there. Because I sometimes get scary students and it's the reason I have campus security programed into my phone.

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!
9/3 118.0 AF, 3/4 oz peanuts
9/4 117.0 Awake before 4AM toooo early! Meeting at 10. It’s going to be a looooong day!
9/5 116.5 AF, good day otherwise

8/31-Went to a fun wedding and saw our boys, lots of traveling and outdoor dining; still recovering from poor food choices. It is very smoky here and I’ve just been staying inside and sewing.
9/6-DNW-We went out for Chinese food last night with MIL ate too much and am feeling it this morning. I am making a basic schedule to follow so that I manage my time better. I am always so tired from riding the horse that I just eat lunch and quilt the rest of the day. Meanwhile, nothing else is getting done. I need to just go do one thing out in the yard, and move on...spending a little time in each area and getting a walk in. I am glad to be here with all of you!!!🌷7 -

It took discipline, but I was able to keep my focus yesterday. I've discovered having the protein cooked and ready to heat up is key for me to stay on track. Hurray! Now to stick with it! I'm planning to swim and do Yoga today, which always increases my hunger-hopefully I can stick with it today!

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!
9/3 116.6 or .2 post run this morning. It was a good day yesterday, I ended up doing a 25 minute ride on the bike after work and took a break during work to go for a walk with my husband. I made tacos last night for dinner and they were yummy and the beef I used was super lean so the calories were really good too. I did a little under 2 mile run this morning because I was feeling kind of tired, so I didn’t want to push myself. TOM is arriving soon and I typically have a day or two of fatigue prior to it, so I think that played a role in the way I felt this morning.
9/4did not post. Still have to get into the weekend posting habit.
9/5 did not post. Still have to get into the weekend posting habit.
9/6 117.4 Still waiting for the arrival of TOM. This long weekend has been a mix of healthy and not so healthy food. I have been active though. Sunday I I dud a 30 minute spin bike ride and this morning I ran 5k.
Saturday I went to the farmer’s market and got a brownie and a jar of salted caramel sauce. Both are already gone. I finished the sauce last night with ice cream because I didn’t want it in the house any longer because it would make me want to get more ice cream. (Note to self: Don’t indulge in free samples at the market. They make you buy stuff your hips don’t need.)
I made a version of ratatouille for the first time yesterday and it was yummy! My husband didn’t want to try any… so more veggies for me! I’ll have leftovers with pasta tonight for dinner, not sure if that’s traditional but oh well.
