I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

I am back, and just in time! I just returned from a long weekend away where the fantasy of weight gain does not exist. Now I am back to reality, HA! This should peal off pretty fast.

All things considered, for a holiday weekend I feel good about this. Still need to get through todays’ mine field.
9/7: 204.2
Nice recovery from a week ago. Some chaos in my life yesterday and I am grateful that I did not turn to food to make me feel better.
I have been flirting with my maintenance range as of late. I need a committed relationship with it though. That means touching both ends of it, not just the top end.
I have a good sense of what needs to be done as this months-long Autumn food-fest begins.. Now I just need to do it.

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!
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
9/6 118.0 AF Great Greek salad with gyro, melitzanosalata and pita. Gosh, the round is almost over! I will post 162 this morning.
9/7 116.5 not AF last night. Yesterday was a sad day as DGDog crossed the Rainbow Bridge. He had lots of cousins there waiting for him as well as his partner of many years.9 -

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.
9/7 230.4 (-5.2) When my sister and I started hiking a few months ago, I had to stop numerous times to catch my breath. Yesterday, we hiked a loop we both love with an elevation gain around 500 ft. The only time we stopped was to let mountain bikers get by and to take our progress photos. Small improvements that make a big difference.

GW-140
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!!!🌷
9/7-172-It is supposed to be hot here today, so I will walk in the morning then go to work for a while.

Was sick all last week, still not 100% (not Covid, took a test), so have been in maintenance mode. Planning to go out for a run in a little bit and see how I feel. It's a beautiful running day!
9/7: 163.1
Nice run yesterday, and felt great to get an extra morning to sleep in due to having the day off for Labor Day & again today with no school for Rosh Hashanah. Back to the early mornings tomorrow, but my husband has said he will run with me on Wednesday and Friday mornings as soon as our daughter gets on the school bus - so that's something to look forward to!

09/07 - 147.6 - No hugs needed. Rainy/stormy lazy day led to us going to get pizza and getting Chinese instead. Pure sodium bump. Drank just under 90 oz water. Went for a run this morning, it was nice and cool (I was cold when I started!) Body held up well, as did lungs. Dog did not. She was a spaz and kept tripping me (last time this happened, I rolled my ankle pretty badly and was down for 3 weeks!) so I stopped at 1 mile running and came home. 1 mile is better than none, though. Quiet day today. Need to figure out dinner ideas for today and tomorrow at the very least.
09/08 -
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!)
09/03 - 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).
09/04 - Been weighing, just not been able to post. Expected bump up due to a delicious dinner of ribs, mac&cheese, and salad (of various sorts eg: egg salad, potato salad. I got regular leafy green salad since I hate mayo and mustard with a passion and those "salads" taste like I'm eating mayo and mustard by the spoonful to me). BF is mowing the lawn so I guess I'll go dig up the little wild area beside our porch. It's become a mess but I was too afraid to touch it since we are renting. Too late now, it will look better once I clean it up. Not sure what else going on today but happy to be solidly out of the 150s despite the weekend craziness!

Day/Weight/Comment
8/30--210.7 Had a great workout yesterday. Goal is to get water in today.
8/31--210.3 Low key day today. Plan is to take dog for a long walk and do some more work on my laundry room renovation, almost done.
9/1--210.3 Did not get much water in yesterday, so plan is to increase my water today. Going to take the dog out for a long day today.
9/2--210.3 At least it's consistent. Trainer day today. Did some grouting yesterday in the laundry room, it makes my DIY tile work look so much better. Still have more grouting to do, goal is to be totally finished by this long weekend. I have to say, working on the laundry room a little each evening definitely has reduced my evening snacking which just confirms that a lot of my evening snacking is due to boredom.
9/3--210.7 Not surprised about the uptick. Had a tough workout with trainer yesterday, we are starting to work on pull-ups, I told my trainer my goal is to do pull-ups by the end of the year. I also had very little water yesterday. Going into the office for an hour today. After working from home so long, it's always weird when I have to go back to the office
9/4--211.2 Normal 2nd day uptick after training day. I am going out for a hike today with hubby and puppy, not going to be too strenuous. Later is lunch and then work on the laundry room.
9/5--209.8 Trainer day today.
9/6--210.3 No real plans for today. I may go out for a bike ride later, but who knows.
9/7--209.6 Still working on my laundry room. There are a couple of little things left to do that aren't really exciting so my plan is to do one little thing a day. I have one last tile I have to put in place, but I have to make cuts to the tile which I am dreading, so plan is to do that one thing today. Took dog out for a long walk this morning and will probably go out for another walk later today.

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!!!
9/4 157.2 Ok. I was happy to see this, again. My Dad seems better. So far we really like the SNF that he is in and the doctors are communnicating with us, too. They seem to be on the same page with us, now... as far as Dad's history. Although they don't seem to know it, they are listening to us & that is a really good thing!! There's been sickness in my workplace & altho the sick one tested negative... he sounded horrible & I've been exposed to whatever it is that he has... so I am hesitant to visit my parents, now. I sure don't want to spread it to the SNF community and the ALF community.
9/5 157.2 yesterday, I had a small binge so could be it will be reflected in tomorrow’s weigh in or in a couple days. I am going to start small amount of exercise today.
9/6 157.2 Did some exercise, drank a little more water.
9/7 158 Had a major binge last night. Ghah! Gotta stop that. Had more water! Exercised! and then blew it...

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.
9/7 118.2 Oyy vey. Went for a run this morning and a walk this afternoon. Hoping this fluctuation up lowers over the next week or so. I can feel the fluid retention when I wake up in the morning because my fingers feel stiff. Food has been healthy so far today and dinner is well planned as well. Have a good night!

I’m new here, and I love the idea of this challenge. I can do anything for 10 days!
I’m a 36YO F. Highest weight ever was 395. Current weight is 222.2 My first goal for this round is to get under 220. My second goal is to keep carbs under 100g net carbs each day. Third goal is to keep consistent with my strength training and cardio.
SW: 222.2
Day/Weight/Comment
8/30 222.2 Great day! 57g net carbs, and both strength and cardio workouts done!
8/31 221.4 Officially hit 20lbs down since starting MFP on 8/15! Another successful day- 63g net carbs, and cardio done!
9/1 220.4 Another great day! 67g net carbs and a strength training session complete. Just getting in a few more steps before bed tonight. Feeling great though! Maybe I’ll even see a new decade tomorrow. 🤞
9/2 220.4 Another good day. 62g net carbs and 30 mins on the Peloton done. Still 🤞for the new decade, hopefully tomorrow!
9/3 221.0 Not exactly the number I was hoping for. Still, another successful day. Didn’t do my strength training because after my crazy busy day, I was too tired. I’ll do it Saturday, no worries! My goal is 3x a week, and I’m at 2x already, so no sweat at all! Still crossing my fingers on that new decade.
9/4 220.6 Okay okay, getting there! Had a great day. Skipped my strength training session because I was so tired from all I had going on today. I’ll get it in tomorrow for sure! Now if I can just see the next decade down tomorrow finally…. I think I finally WILL!
9/5 220.6 Haha hormones are like we know you want that 219, but we’re going to make you wait!! Oh well. One foot in front of the other. I’ll get there! Historically, I hold a few days once a month for the hormone shift, then drop again. So hold I will. Got my strength workout in finally today, along with a good amount of walking. 64g net carbs, and feeling really good about my progress today!
9/6 220.6 One of these days here soon, I will wake up to a loss that lands me under 220 finally! Dang hormones! Had dinner out today, but managed to stick to my plan in spite of that. 74g net carbs, got my strength training in, but did not get many steps in. I’ve been feeling really tired and achy today, so I decided it was best to take it easy. Still, I’m calling it a good day!
9/7 220.4 Okay, okay! I’m so hoping this is the shift I’ve been waiting for. 🤞 Had another great day today. 86g net carbs and got my 30 minutes on the Peloton done.

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.
09/04 …..187.5 ….. (trend weight 187.8) Yesterday I found out that my ex-sister-in-law that I’ve known for 46 years died of Covid in South Carolina. She was fully vaccinated and had just turned 64. She was immuno-compromised. Her daughter found her unresponsive in her home (she lived alone). She was alive, but was later determined to be brain dead. She was lucky enough to get a ventilator for a short time since they are scarce, but she was taken off all life support measures when it was determined she would never wake up and never go home. Please, even if vaccinated, mask up in those highly public places. More people love you and don’t want to lose you than you even realize. I spent all evening and night eating my emotions and moving into the 2nd phase of grief = anger. I am surprised the scale didn’t go up. Today I will try hard to be more mindful. The food binges changes nothing.
09/05 …..188.2 ….. (trend weight 187.8) I ate 400 more calories after closing out my MFP last night. A little hunger, a lot of grief and emotional eating which solves nothing. Today I am going to a family BBQ for Labor Day at my oldest DD’s house. There will be tons of food. One moment I’m too sad to eat (that’s how I handled rough things when I was young=no appetite), other moments I use food as a crutch. I know that most of you are on one side of this or the other during emotionally tough times and I 100% feel your support and understanding. I am navigating through as best as I can. Keeping my weight level right now would be a plus. Catch-up is just another battle I don’t need right now. Thanks for your kind comments and your understanding.
09/06 …..189.4 ….. (trend weight 188.0) Well…….this day certainly didn’t start well. My well went out again. My handyman came over and re-primed and I had to let my neighbor know (who has company for the holiday staying over) that I needed his water and hoses again. When it rains, it pours! Then…..My TDEE/total calorie intake was less than calories burned overall, but there it is! CICO is much more complicated due to cortisol, other hormones, sugar levels as a T2D, water retention etc. So true that the scale is not always the only measure. I enjoyed the family labor day BBQ yesterday. I’m glad I went. Today I am going to be very strict with my diet unless I let my emotions overtake me. I hope for extra low calorie and lots of water and walking/movement. Doctors appointment tomorrow and 2 CT scans on Thursday (Thursday involves travel). I can’t believe this round is almost over! I’ll push to end a little better for tomorrow’s final weigh-in.
09/07 …..187.2 ….. (trend weight 187.9) I had to work hard for it yesterday. To shake it up I kept to a one-day-only calorie count of 1002 and kept an eye on the carbs. I got in some extra calorie burn too with an extra walk. Today I went to my PCP doctor appointment. Glucose still too high, but improving. I have to go back in a month. Her scale showed me down about 4 point whatever pounds since last month. This month I wore heavy sweats (cold and rainy here today), last month was lightweight shorts so there’s that….. Funeral was today for my SIL. How wonderful that I was sent a live video link so I could “be there” for it in South Carolina. I was happy to see that some of the pictures on the tribute wall of the funeral home website included me even though she stopped being my SIL in 2002 at the time of my divorce after a long 21 year marriage. She was a great person and she died too soon. Please mask up at the very least folks! You are loved!

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/30 135.2 - 9.78 hilly miles walked yesterday, 87 flights of stairs!! Just in calories and macros.
8/31 135.2 - more coastal path walks, 10 miles 183 flights of stairs, climbed the highest cliff on the south coast - Golden Cap. All macros in credit.
9/1 135.8 – 12.96 miles & 162 flights of stairs, but after a pizza lunch, with cider, a shared cream tea with DH & then late cheese, crackers & port with friends, I was well over. No walking today as we travel back home. I really need to get myself back on track, I know I keep saying it, but I must DO it !!!!
9/2 135.2 – kept in limits
9/3 136.2 – oh dear!!
9/4 135 – that's better, a perfect food day yesterday, but one day doesn't get me back to maintenance, I need to be consistent, plan on another good day today. 9.54 miles walked yesterday.
9/5 135 – 9.82 miles walked, really good food & water day – consistency is key!
9/6 135 – 7.31 miles walked, just about kept in limits. I am being bombarded with friend requests on MFP – I only accept people that I recognise & I don't recognise any of these!!
9/7 134.4 – 8.97 miles walked yesterday and another good food day – consistency = results !
9/8 134.2 – very pleased with this number, 1 pound down from end of last round, but very importantly I am back on track, out for lunch with 4 of my siblings yesterday at Hickory Smokehouse, but despite all of their choices as least mine were sensible and I was able to stay within limits for the day – consistency is paramount. 9.81 miles walked yesterday.
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE. Keep calm – be consistent, we're all in this together!

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!
09/07 159.0 STEPS 9,667 SLEEP 6hr40m Spent most of yesterday resting and sloth-like then in the evening I gave myself a push and went out for a 3.5mile walk, which I really enjoyed. Had no appetite all day until after I got back from walking so most of my eating was later on. Weight is on an upward spike but trend weight still going down.
09/10 158.2 STEPS 12,815 SLEEP 6hr47m Got my blood test results back yesterday, I'm borderline for underactive thyroid and need to get another test in 8 weeks. All my other health markers are good, yay! Had a really stressful day and didn't eat enough but managed to get out for a walk. Another hot day here today, phew! It's been a good round, looking forward to the next one.

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.
9/7 202.6 Walked 3.1 miles, Bike 30 min, 1738 cal, 165 net carbs, AF. I went overboard eating not 1 but 3 cupcakes today that I made for my sister’s birthday. No more for me this week!
9/8 203.1 Walked 3.2 + 1.4 miles, Swam 400 meters, Treaded Water 7 min, 1402 cal, 78 net carbs, AF. The neighborhood olympic size lap pool reopened after being closed for 2 weeks for maintenance! Remaining calories in the green! This has been a tough 10 days with 6 in the red and only 4 in the green. No wonder I was gaining weight. Turning that ship around and focusing on staying in the green.
Well that was a wash ... +/-0. Not even sure how that is possible but it is what it is. At least I got rid of the spiking to 204.x. Now to pursue a consistent 202.x or even drop below. Next 10 day challenge will be tougher still because we'll be at the fishing camp where I exercise less and eat more. Need to reverse that habit as well. BUT the best times of the day in this heat to walk are the same times of day that it is easiest to fish. We'll see.8 -

After a planned high-calorie day and a day where I overindulged in salt and carbs, I got my average calories back down to 1382 yesterday - yay! I hope everyone had a successful round!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
If I quit now, I'll soon be back where I started. And when I started, I so desperately wanted to be where I am now!
There is no going back! NOT THIS TIME!11 -

Day/Weight/Comment
08/30 - 242.3 Another weekend, another weekend drop. I decided to stop running for now and go back to T25 to shift momentum a little. I started with the total body workout so I am sore everywhere and I broke my HIIT calorie record. I set my goal at 240 but if I could get to 239.1 and officially be 60 lbs down I would be so excited.
08/31 - 242.7 Not even a little worried about a fluctuation up. I looked at my chart of where I was last Tuesday and I'm 3.8 lbs down from then. So that's the lesson for the day. Day to day doesn't matter as long as you keep pushing and making yourself better. Another round of T25 this morning and walking is a chore now!
09/01 - 243.2 I am anticipating a lot of water retention from switching workout routines, so again not too worried about fluctuations up. My office orders us lunch every day and yesterday we ordered Cheesecake Factory for a co-worker's birthday. Even the salads there are over 1000 calories! I got the smallest chicken tacos (under 600 calories) and then was hungry and snacking the rest of the day... Brought my own salad today to not risk that happening again.
09/02 - 245.4
09/03 - 243.2 Yesterday was a day for sure. Slept in after my dogs woke me up at 2:15 so I didn't get to work out. Then I spent 4.5 hours commuting to work after flooding in my area. Oh and the overnight 2.2 lbs gained was fun too! Oh well. Took the pups for a walk last night and woke up at 5:30 this morning to get more T25 in. Please let me lose weight this weekend!
09/04 - 241.8
09/05 - 243.4
09/06 - 242.1
09/07 - 239.0 Well this was a nice surprise. I will chalk a lot of this up to the fact that I did the sweatiest T25 workout this morning but still nice to see that the 230s are in range. My Apple Watch suggested I bump my move calories up this week so I did it for an extra challenge, I desperately want a perfect month so it'll keep me motivated for sure.
09/08 - 237.2 An even nicer surprise today! Great way to end the round and go into next round on a positive note. Not sure how much I can trust this number but I'll take it and set my goal for next round accordingly. I'm going to stick with the T25 workouts in the morning and then walking pups at night for a few extra calories.14 -

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!

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.
9/07 - 186.2 (187) - 1138 (Ave 1335)
I’ve successfully not eaten snacks the past three days and hope to stick to that. I figure I can eat pretty much what I want at meals this way and still keep calories low. Plus exercising the puppy exercises me!
9/08 - 185.6 (186.5) - 1089 (Ave 1324)
Finally! Progress! A little loss is re-motivating. See you next round!14 -

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.
9/7 230.4 (-5.2) When my sister and I started hiking a few months ago, I had to stop numerous times to catch my breath. Yesterday, we hiked a loop we both love with an elevation gain around 500 ft. The only time we stopped was to let mountain bikers get by and to take our progress photos. Small improvements that make a big difference.
9/8 229.4 (-6.2) I am shocked by this loss over the last ten days. Not much has changed on my diet or exercise plan. While I’m thrilled to be in the 220’s, I want to make sure I’m losing in a healthy way. I’ll give it another ten days and see if I need to add more calories to my day to get back to losing 1.5-2 pounds a week.11
