Day/Weight/Comment

9/19 - 146 - It's Sunday and I had wine last night so I'm happy. I was also able to go dog walking today without ankle pain so I hope I'll be able to get more steps in this week.
9/20 - 146.5 - Too many carbs this weekend.
9/21 - 145.5 - I had some dandelion tea and plenty of water yesterday. It's going to be raining here the next couple days, so I'll hop on our treadmill instead of walking the dog with my husband. Over the years, I've walked our dogs through rain, sleet, and snow, but since my husband retired and I'm still working, I've let him take over.
9/22 - 145 - I'm very happy to see this number. I also know my weight will bounce up and down so I have to stay focused and watch my calories and keep moving.

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

Female, 5’3”, 60
Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last
2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021)
GW: <200 in 2021 BMI 35.2
UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150's

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
9/19 203.4 Walked 4 miles, 1792 cal, 115 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.
NSV . My high waisted jeans slipped over my hips without unzipping … so bought 2 new pairs of jeans in a size smaller. WIN!
9/20 202.5 Walked 3.4 + 1 miles, 1899 cal, 246 net carbs, AF. Up a few times during the night and finally turned on coffee at 3am this morning. Feeling a lot of stress but also coughing a ton. Hope whatever ails me shakes loose soon.
9/21 202.7 Walked 2.4 miles, 1380 cal, 129 net carbs, AF. Definitely not feeling well yesterday. Took two 2 hr naps, hot tea, cough drops, meds, and skipped book club in the evening.

9/21 - 145.3
9/22 - 145.7 - I'm not entirely sure. Best I can guess is sodium from dinner. Not sure why 144 is so elusive. Think I'm going to row today rather than run. Ankle isn't quite ready for that high impact but I need to get some conditioning. I'm lucky BF bought a rower for us last week! I completely forgot about it until yesterday hehe I love that thing. Helped get me in shape to take my Army Fitness Test after a health scare. Over 90oz water yesterday and will try for a tad more today. Lunch will be leftover dinner (only ate half, super filling) and dinner will be meatball subs. Need to work on my NEAT throughout the day, yesterday was lazy but it was definitely needed to help with sore muscles from the 10K.

Previous Day's Comments

9/19 - This is water weight. Was at a car show with Fam and their truck (didn't win, but had a blast! Our buddy won 2nd in his group, though). Not near enough water and it was HOT. Tomorrow I have to commute to work so won't be running or working out. Need to figure out my lunch based on what we have here at the house.
9/20 - This is definitely water from being so stinking sore. Work is about to be fun, I'll be moving like a sloth today. Hopefully I can still get some steps in without overdoing it to help move along this soreness (hello, active recovery).
9/21 - Still quite sore, but not waddling around as bad. Did meet my step goal yesterday and I'm sure that helped loosen things up a bit. Will go for a walk this morning and put off running. My back is very achy and had some sciatica yesterday. Ankle visibly swollen (though not too terrible) so will take it easy and just walk off the soreness rather than run. Drank 90oz water yesterday. Managed a smaller dinner and larger lunch which is a goal of mine to adjust my eating and help with sleep. Home today, will figure out food for lunch and dinner shortly.

I'm verified! Guinness World Records is still verifying and gathering numbers to get an accurate number for the record, but Virtual Runners verified individual runners within Guinness' guidelines. This is the first step, but it means my medal for the attempt will be shipping out! Hoping in a week or two I'll hear if we officially broke the record (:

Day/Weight/Comment

9/19 234.8
9/20 233.7 - What a weekend. Saturday night had a comedy show so we went out to eat and got soft pretzel bites, hamburgers, fries and beer. To counter that, I've been doing 600+ calorie rides on the Peloton and absolutely feeling it. I'm addicted to the Peloton rides because unlike T25, you just burn a ton and have no clue until you're finished how hard you've worked.
9/21 233.0 - Honestly surprised about this because I got home and snacked and then ate dinner and then snacked more. But getting in longer Peloton rides and burning more and more calories. Probably too many calories at this point so I'll have to eat a bit more to make up for that. Did an almost 800 calorie ride this morning and really feeling it right now. Water and protein all day.
9/22 233.6 - I imagine that bottle of water I chugged a minute before weighing in had a lot to do with this. Did 45 minutes on the bike this morning for 640 calories. Down from yesterday but you can't push yourself to your max every day. Any work is positive! I wanted to be under 235 by this coming Sunday for a friend's wedding and it looks like I'll be there.

GW - 140

9/20-172-Insanely busy week last week, no time for exercise and was on my feet most of the time. Got all of the laundry done yesterday and cooked extra food that’s healthy. It shouldn’t be too hot today, so I should be able to fit everything in...we’ll see!
9/21-169-Walked 5 miles, ate the healthy food I prepped, rode the horse and quilted. Drank lots of water too!
9/22-168-Only walked 2 miles, and went to a garden club meeting. It ended up being pretty hot by the time I got out to see the horse, so I gave him a bath in the shade. I’m getting an early start this morning.

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’m in! This is round 3 for me.

I can do anything for 10 days!

Goals: 11,000 steps a day, <80 carbs a day, strength training 3x/week, cycling 2-3x/week

MFP SW: 237.6
CW(9/18): 218.6

9/19: 217.8 Starting this challenge off good! Finished the day with over 11,000 steps and 52 net carbs. Saturdays are typically my rest days, so no exercise beyond the steps. ✔️Day 1 success!
9/20: 217.4 Creeping down some more! Finished yesterday off with 60 carbs, over 12,000 steps, and got a Pelo ride in. I’m ready for this week!
9/21: 216.6 Feeling really good this morning! Hit my step goal yesterday, finished the day with 48 net carbs, and got my strength training in last night. Bring on this Tuesday!
9/22: 216.0 Another successful day yesterday! Hit my step goal, finished with 48 net carbs, and got a 38 minute Peleton ride in. Today I’m feeling a little tired, but nothing I can’t handle. I also have dinner with my MIL tonight. She’s a great cook, although not a low carb cook. So I’m planning a very low carb lunch, and then I’ll just do as well as I can at dinner. I got this!

9/22 - 206.6 - thanks for the advice for working from home, friends! My meetings are tied to a computer so walking one's won't work. I use the bathroom in the basement and will set the alarm for every hour to take a 5 minute walk.

Had Thai veggies for lunch, so probably salt. I also had some Triscuits and cheese in the evening — skipped dinner but I was really hungry. All good.

Thai leftovers yesterday so sodium still a little high, but not bad. I’m certainly on my feet more with the puppy!

9/22 - 183 (183.1) - 1230
Rain rain rain, which we definitely need, but it makes exercising the pup a lot messier! Oh, well, that’s what towels are for, right? And he makes sure I get off my duff a lot more! Have a lovely Wednesday!

Goal weight for this round: Staying or dropping below 115.4 would be fantastic!

Previous days

9/19 116.8 Back up and I can feel the water retention in my face even though yesterday wasn’t a super salty day. I think it’s just where I’m at cycle wise. So later this week will be the real tell of where my weight is at if I don’t have take out for the next week or so. It was nice to see the 115 range again even for just a moment. I plan on doing some sort of meal planning today for the week. I think that has been a bit of the problem with dinners lately, is that I don’t have plans until the day of. So, I want to try and fix that.
9/20 116.8 Went for a run this morning for the first time in a week and it felt great. My muscle that was weird last week still feels tight but at least there isn’t pain. I’ve just been more aware of actively stretching throughout the day to help it. Food was solid yesterday until my husband wanted ColdStone’s ice cream…That was rough calorie wise but I think I hit a wall with the ice cream and don’t think I’ll want it again for a while. I think it also made me sleep horribly from all the sugar. I can’t be sure of that but at least it’s one more reason not to have it again for a while.
2 eggs and bakery bread for breakfast, dolma’s for lunch with fruit and yogurt as a dessert, and leftover baked eggplant for dinner with high fiber pasta. CSA pick up tonight, so I’ll be stocking the fridge with all sorts of produce today.
9/21 116 when I first woke up this morning. Not sure if this is a real number because I weighed myself after I worked out and the scale said I was 117 and I couldn’t get the scale to say the same number more than once. So, I have no idea where I’m at today but I feel good, so that’s a win, right? Started the day with a 30 minute spin bike ride and plan on going for a lunch walk today too.

9/22 116.4 Again, my scale was super wacky but this was the first number so I’ll go with it. Maybe this is the universe telling me to take measurements instead of weighing? Oh well. Maybe one day I’ll have a bathroom with an even floor and a properly functioning scale. What I would love is an old school scale that you balanced every time before stepping on to it. Food was good yesterday, and I was able to go on a nice 3 mile walk during lunch/multi tasking listening to a webinar for work.

Went for a 3 mile run this morning and it felt awesome. Today’s breakfast was bakery bread/toast with Kerry butter and on the side a ramekin of whole milk ricotta with a drizzle of honey and a sliced nectarine. I’m kind of testing to see which has more staying power for me: eggs vs dairy based protein. I feel like it’s hard to track hunger though because there are soo many variables that factor into it. Meeting up with a friend tonight for an outdoor hangout at a local park. I plan on bringing homemade beef stew for my dinner. I figured that would be a tasty and cozy dinner to eat outside on the first night of Fall in New England.

9/19 228 (+.4) Bounce from my Friday indulgence meal. Today I’m hiking with my sister and will really focus on getting my water. I’m expecting the scale to start moving back down in the next day or two.  
9/20 227.2 (-.4) Hiking was wonderful, yesterday. It was beautiful and I’m seeing improvement in my endurance. We’ve knocked off several minutes per mile since starting back in early July. I’ve been hungry lately so will plan to eat every 3-4 hours to keep me from eating things I shouldn’t. Definitely got all my water in yesterday.
9/21 226.2 (-1.4) I stayed on track yesterday. It was easier because I was so busy. Today is a swim day. Can’t wait to get to the pool.
9/22 225.6 (-2.0) Happy, and a little surprised. I’ve been finding my eating creeping up a little. I’m tracking everything, which is really helpful. I’m still losing so I’ll just keep an eye on things and try to do a better job of having prepared meals and snacks on hand. Swimming was wonderful yesterday. I can't do more than one lap of freestyle without being out of breath, so I do breast stroke in between. My goal is to be able to swim my whole hour doing freestyle. It's going to take some time to get there, but I'm determined.

Really good run yesterday, pushed the pace super hard! Today is supposed to be a Rest Day, but have a strength workout to make-up that I skipped on Thursday. The scale has stalled at 163 since the beginning of the last round but I can see body changes and clothes are fitting looser, so all is good!
9/20: 162.9
Very good day yesterday with food & exercise! Going to make this a great week
9/21: 162.3
Yesterday was a rest day...today is a running day + maybe strength training today also if I have the energy
9/22: 162.1
Felt super sluggish on my run yesterday but powered through it. Even though I was definitely in a calorie deficit yesterday, dinner was a bit high on sodium, so I'm super happy to see a drop on the scale this morning!

Day/Weight/Comment
09/18 …..187.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
09/19 …..186.2 ….. (trend weight 187.5) I’ve been battling the same couple of pounds since the holiday weekend (Sept 3rd posts). It’s time for me to buckle up buttercup. A new round – a new chance to impress myself! Good Luck everyone! Let’s make it count!

09/20 …..185.2 ….. (trend weight 187.3) I knew I would have extremely low movement and activity yesterday so I really focused on portion control and good choices. Whew! It helped.

09/21 …..185.8 ….. (trend weight 187.1) Rained all day so I worked on fixing my suddenly broken fitbit. Lots of workers here until 8:00 pm. Not much activity but my diet was good.

09/22 …..187.6 ….. I won’t be able to list my trendweight for a couple of weeks. I had to restart my fitbit after sleeping on the button and draining it and messing it up. My trendweight is tied to my fitbit. Putting in my original starting weight into my fitbit has messed that trendweight all up. My MFP weight and graph remains correct. Uptick today. I closed out with 14 calories in the green. I later caved for a cup of soup and 6 cookies with 8 oz of milk. I was just hungry. I’ve got to get moving today! I’ve had no major exercise in awhile (beside the window cleaning project). Travel tomorrow. Zoom pre-op appointment today with university hospital. I'm not a techi so I'm nervous about the process. Hope it works!

09/23 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)

09/24 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)

09/25 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)

09/26 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)

@chublet25 I hope you have a before picture. I know that’s something that is always encouraged but we shy away from. I always used to stand behind everyone because of my weight but when I did a quilt shop hop 4 years ago, I was in the front of the group because they were all taller. If I didn’t have that picture, I would have no idea how my appearance had changed. My next door neighbor has (intentionally) lost 29 pounds since she moved here June 1 and didn’t “see” it until she took a picture yesterday. YOU are an inspiration!
