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.

Decided to just go get a test yesterday. Negative! Still running a bit slow today though.

Every week I have to break the back of the Carbo-Monster that I sometimes let through the front door on the weekends. Just writing this makes me want a cinnamon roll.
40 pounds ago I let the Carbo-Monster sleep in my basement full time. I am slowly building boundaries.

9/21 - 207.7 - new to working from home and trying to get more steps in - would welcome any ideas of how to get those NEAT steps in that used to come from walking to a far bathroom or having to go find someone to chat.
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.

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 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.
9/23 116.6 Today the scale cooperated and gave the same reading twice in a row. I started my day with a 45 minute spin bike ride which felt surprisingly good even though my sleep has been weird the past few nights. (My husband went up to NH to hike and I always sleep a little weird when he’s not home.) I also plan on going for a walk today during lunch. My lunch walk didn’t happen yesterday because the day got away from me and the time I did have, I threw beef stew in the pressure cooker, so it would be ready to eat around 5ish.
So, I decided last night that I’m going to focus on recomping to help build muscle and get leaner instead of trying to lose more weight. I want to be stronger and I think being in a deficit during the week is making me a bit tired and then also causing me to have cravings by the time the weekend hits…resulting in a frustrating cycle. I also bought myself two new books to help me build a routine. They are Body Weight Strength Training Anatomy and Functional Training Anatomy. I have a couple of the other anatomy books and I love them because I love knowing the why of an exercise and these books are usually really good at explaining that. The other books I have are the Stretching Anatomy, Running Anatomy and a couple others and I’m excited to add new ones to my collection.
Happy Thursday everyone!

Ave weight from R162- 157.1
9/19 - 157.8 Good sleep last night. Busy day of baseball with the kiddos. Started of with a good breakfast to avoid ball park food.
9/20 -157.2 good breakfast and lunch. Crappy sleep. Normal day off of exercise
9/21- 157.0. Kinda digging this 3 day down trend. Slept poorly again. Work is stressing me out. Not sure when I'm going to fit in exercise today but my son wants to go too, so that accountability helps.
9/22 157.0 Lovely fall day. Best run I have had in awhile.
9/23 157.8 - Can't say I'm surprised here based on yesterday. I like that I'm not seeing the crazy swings of last round. Good sleep but crazy dreams.12 -

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?!

9/19 157
Wow! I already met my goal!
Well, if I can sustain this until the end of this round. I'll be happy. If I can get down to 156.6, I will be thrilled as that was what I was at in the middle of Round 162. I did follow food plan, yesterday, and drank my minimum of water. No exercise, tho.
9/20 157 Very stressed out to the point of shaking. Dad still in hospital... issues. Stuck with food plan yesterday. Drank 48 oz of water (above my minimum), No formal exercise, but did have over 11,000 steps yesterday.
9/21 154.8 wow! Did not expect that so weighed again. Same tame. Put scale up, then weighed again almost 10 minutes later. Exactly the same! I’m happy about it, but did not have such a good food day yesterday. No exercise yesterday. Did have minimum water & felt like I slept better, although still not enough sleep. Another very stressful day!!! Das had different dr today & problems with this dr. Ghah! He’s now been in the hospital since September 10th. Lost most of my afternoon to phone calls with drs & hospital. Unable to work, altho was at work…
9/22 154.8 Dad had procedure done, today. He made it through that, waiting for surgical consult now. He will need to have a small surgery done. He is having problems with feeding tube, so now he needs a different kind... Did well with food, yesterday/ At least 40 oz of water. Still no exercise.
9/23 156 I'm still happy with this. Yesterday, was another rough day. Yesterday, I tried to alter my food plan as I had to eat out instead of at home & also had to use meat that someone else bought & didn't know how fatty it was. So, hopefully I've learned from that rather than letting someone else convince me of something. Over 9,000 steps, but no formal exercise.

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.
9/23-DNW-I refuse to weigh if I feel bloated for the day, but have eaten healthy. I made Bieler Broth yesterday (just a bunch of veges and some sea salt) puréed it and had 2 cups. Also had my seasoned bone broth, thus, the bloat. Only walked a couple of miles yesterday after long horse ride, which ended with moving cattle...oh, fun! Lots of running around today.11 -

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!
9/23: 161.8
Lunch time walk yesterday + upper body weights...going on a run today which is always something to look forward to! In a good place at the moment with my food & exercise, just need to stay the course.

@fmfdfa2020 -My heart goes out to you. Such a hard thing to deal with. My mom passed away 7 years ago and it seems like yesterday. I never thought I would be happy again. My friend says that time softens things and I see that it in fact does, but we never forget the person we loved so much. I hope you can find comfort during this time. Cherish the memories that you have with your mother, who you loved so much. Karen7

@fmfdfa2020 Debra, I’m so sorry you lost your mom. You are lucky to have had those days of family history though.5

@quiltingjaine
mtararoot told me on another challenge that MFP no longer allows messages on friends requests. There is no way for anyone to let us know how (or from which challenge) we may know them. She said it is to keep creepy messages out of creepy requests!
I suppose a private message prior to friend's request would do. I just thought I would share that info with you and all others.3 -

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.
9/23 224.8 (-2.8) Yay! It’s funny how some days it feels like I haven’t lost a thing. It’s slow motion sometimes. I’m glad we have fitness trackers, apps, phones with cameras…so that I can track progress even when I don’t see it in the mirror.10 -

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.

SW RND 163 117.0
9/19 118.0 Well yesterday turned out to be extremely stressful. 24 yo DGD’s 21 yo friend got drunk early on and after taking DGD’s phone and purposely dropping it and breaking it, decided to leave her and go with some random much older guy who offered to buy her a drink. So we drove to The Strip, picked up DGD and took her to the hotel to pick up her stuff and she spent the night with us. DGD changed her flight so she wouldn’t be forced to take a 3 hour drive with “friend.” I had one really watered down adult beverage late in the evening. Now her flight is delayed almost 2 hours. My stomach is in knots.
9/20 117.5 DGD finally got home, after late boarding they spent almost an hour on the taxiway waiting to take off.
9/21 118.0 I had about an ounce of peanuts and a lot of salt from the bottom of the jar. 🤷♀️ I seem to have done something to my left foot, middle toe and it really hurts to bend it. Awake since 3:30AM UGH!!
9/22 118.5 AF I was so tired I went to bed a little after 9 and slept until about 6:30. GARMIN shows 9h 31m I didn’t log any of the food I ate yesterday but we did go to Golden Corral where I made less than stellar choices due to extreme tired. Today DH takes neighbor to lunch and I plan to fast. We’ll see how that goes. My “fasting muscle” seems to have taken leave. I should not have eaten bread Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I believe I’m “paying the price.”
9/23 119.0 Lots of salt?? Under on carbs, fat and calories. 5 over on protein.10 -
@matratazola and @Elbee1 ..... Praying for your fathers and for your families during this difficult time.6

@fmfdfa2020
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. How wonderful that she was able to share so much with you in the end, even with her challenges. Mine has been gone for 15 years now. That seems impossible as I feel her with me here everyday, cheering me on in all that I do. I hope you will find peace and comfort in all the love you share between the two of you.

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).
09/23 …..187.6 ….. It is said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. My meals were perfect yesterday but my snacks were not. I’ve even resorted to eating my grandchildren snacks I keep stored and they are not even my style! Little to no movement yesterday as the day was cold, the house full of workers and the time flew by. Travel today which, of course, will find me beating my head against the same old wall and expecting a different result (more insanity). Taking my son which is nice. It’s time to get him out of the house. With his autism he usually prefers to stay put. I’ll take him out to dinner later as a nice treat away from home but I will honestly and earnestly try to read the whole menu and not stop on the first high carb, rich, high calorie meal. There are better choices on most menus but no, I don’t like salad or lettuce so that is out. Friday weight will be high, but for the 3rd weekend in a row, I will find myself playing catch-up. I can do this.
09/24 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)
09/25 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)
09/26 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)

@fmfdfa2020 So sorry you are having to deal with this loss. It is so heartwarming to hear the time you spent with her and the memories you've shared with her as well as the history learned from her. THAT is beautiful

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!
9/23: 216.8 A bump up this morning, but not unexpected after ice cream for dessert last night. I did everything right, even kept to my carb goal. Ice cream gets me every time though! It’s all good! Back to my normally scheduled programming today!

9/20 202.3 I feel like I am fighting off stress with a club and I am losing the fight. I know I have to get my head together in order to lose weight and my head is not together right now. Maybe I should be working on maintenance instead of attempting to lose because right now I am so discouraged. Trauma is not something you just get over and I am trying to just get over it. I am still trying to watch my calories intake, I am still doing my workout routine. However cortisol (stress hormone) is a beast.

@fmfdfa2020 - it's heartbreaking to lose your Mom, I still think of mine everyday (lost her 14 years ago) and most times now I don't get upset, but occasionally my emotions catch me out and I start to well up. She was the most kindhearted person I have ever known, very thoughtful and wise, I do admit there were times when we didn't see eye to eye especially when my 5 siblings and I were growing up, but that's all part of family life!!
It does get easier as time passes, you will have those wonderful memories and always remember that there is a part of your Mom that lives on in yourself.
Sending you lots of comforting hugs and keeping you in my thoughts 🤗 x6 -

Calorie/Carb Cycling with an average of 1200 to 1400 calories at the end of 10 days. 80 oz water each day. Row/Walk/Free-Weights most days. IF, no sugar/white flour products. Focus on getting enough vegetables.
My mom passed away 6 weeks ago. It is so hard to write those words. I spent endless hours with her over the past couple years talking about her family history I was researching. As a history major, she loved talking about history but when you add in the people we were talking about being in the revolutionary war or civil war were her ancestors, that was pure joy to her. She had dementia toward the end and she couldn't tell me what she had for breakfast but she could tell me stories about her youth as if it was yesterday. She had ten brothers and sisters, all just as interesting as she was. I was the lucky one though to have this special time with her.
I hesitated to write this because it is so heartbreaking as I tend to bury my emotions right now, and also for those who have lost their parents, or other loved ones, I didn't want to bring sadness to you. I hope one day I will be able to replace some of the heartache with wonderful memories. I did learn during this time that there is one emotion that I don't turn to food and that is extreme sadness. I actually lost my appetite.

Wow, huge difference isn't it? So easy for us to see it, not so easy for her to see it when she sees herself every day. Thanks for sharing that!
