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.
9/24: 161.8
Rainy day here, but hoping it will clear in time to get a walk in this afternoon. So ready for it to be the weekend!

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 ….. An expected uptick of 1.2 today after travel. Let’s hope there isn’t more lingering that will show up in the coming days. I hit Walmart while out of town yesterday and brought home NO JUNK. Not even for guests or grandchildren. Score! Today will be a good day.
09/25 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)
09/26 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)
09/27 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)
09/28 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)

@CamandJarvis When I had my Garmin tracker, I set it to the tracker would update for regular daily movement. I don't remember how iI did it. What that meant is it adjusted my available calories if I had moved less or more than normal on each day. This didn't include exercise. I wonder if you have that setting and if Fitbit is doing the same thing.
Hmm, I wonder. It is weird that the day of, it counts my calories from my Fitbit activities, but it seems to reset overnight. For example, right now it says I've earned 130 calories from exercise (walking around doing errands and trying to stay off my tush for prolonged periods). But come tomorrow, if the trend of the last few days continues, it'll show up as a negative calorie for lack of exercise. I rather liked being able to adjust (and if I earned a ton of extra calories, understand WHY I was so darn hungry) but now it's resetting the following day, it's frustrating.
For example, today I had a drop in the scale. I anticipated being up due to sodium in my dinner. I'd love to have looked to see the approximate amount I was under calories (exercise included) and determine if I left myself enough calories to offset the sodium-related water weight gain. I knew I was in the green yesterday (at 1668 calories) and now it's showing me over by 263 calories. But I don't remember how much into the green I was! Maybe I need to set a reminder to look at it before bed so I can trend appropriately.

9/19: 291 Don't have a goal as to how much I'd like to lose this round. Any loss that's below the start weight and I'll be happy. Downwards is always best.
9/20: 289.8 ⬇️ (-1.2 lbs) I'm sure that this loss was mostly excess water.
Happy for any type of loss, even if only water. Will see how the trend goes the rest of this round.
9/21: 290.8 ⬆️ (+1 lb) This is definitely my fault. I overate yesterday especially on non-healthy food. 🤐 Need to really work on my eating habits, and stay committed, even with these bumps in the road.

I don't think my weight ever ends in an odd number. I've been going out to see Terror the horse every day and today he was really happy to see me and kept smelling me. I was really pleased that he likes me. He's such a nice boy. The saddle fits, and he got new shoes put on him today (going to pull them back off as soon as he gets home) and I might get brave enough to ride him next week at the track. We'll see! he's pretty frisky and I don't fancy getting dumped in front of dozens of harness horse owners (who probably sneer at equestrians!) Glad another week's work is done. I seem to have so much marking to do this semester. None of my classes is quite big enough to qualify for hiring a grad student to do that grunt work for me. But both of my in-person classes are filled with SERIOUSLY nice students. I'm really happy with both lots. I've not met many of the online class students. Anyway, glad it's the weekend and hope everybody has a great one. I think we've got a really good (bad?) chance of rain but I'm hoping to get one last long woods walk in before bow hunting starts next Tuesday.

9/23 208.2 Feel much better
9/24 207.4 finally breaking that plateau, as for the last several challenges I'd go from 211 -209 every dang week, except the week I topped out at 214. I'm keeping my fingers crossed (and hopefully my hunger in check) that this downward trend will continue. I think that post shingles vaccine fatigue and less hunger day or two helped me to reset my sense of how much to eat in a day. I'm comfortable eating less, What seems to trip me up are days at the YMCA, when I work out and am then famished. Update-I swam and do not have controlable hunger-- heavenly!!!

Hey everyone. Jumping in here again. I know it's near the end of the round, but I need to weight daily for a while to keep an eye on things.
Had two binge days so scale was back up. Glad to see it's going down though. TOM is due in a few days though ugh!

Round 163 (95th for me) . I still need this to help keep me on track, particularly over the next weeks; the second of our holiday!
@QuiltingJaine- thank you yet again for setting up the new round.
Challenge for this round is to stay on track – we are on our main 2 weeks holiday, no flying abroad this year (due to Covid), we are in our touring caravan, so for the major part I am responsible for both choosing & providing food, so hope to come back at least the same as SW, a loss will be a bonus – any loss will be a win! But still aware we are on holiday so will be indulging in an occasional treat – note to self “an occasional treat” !! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.
Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” 2 months ago, but remember there is still a pandemic: Covid is still around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, always consider others.
SW. 133.6
Day/weight/comment
9/19. 133.6 - Just short of 6 miles walked yesterday hence167 calories over yesterday.; It was Heritage Bus day in the local holiday town so we took a vintage bus ride round the Devon countryside.
9/20. 133.6 - no structured walking yesterday, moved along the coast to Dartmouth, so with packing up, travelling, seeing up again & then doing washing (towels needed freshening up - so used the washing machine & dryers on site), the day ran out of hours!! Ended the day with 400 calories over.
9/21. 134 - 9.5 miles walked yesterday along the coastal path to Dartmouth Castle then along the river and a big climb up Jawbone Hill back to the caravan park. Good food day too 👏.
9/22. 134 - 13.84 miles walked yesterday, down to Dartmouth, across the river on the ferry and then 3 miles up the hill to National Trust property Coleston Fishacre, walked around the house and gardens followed by return journey. Food well within limits.
9/23. 133.4 -12.2 miles walked yesterday; we walked down to Dartmouth, caught the ferry which went up river to NT property Greenway. This used to be Agatha Christie's weekend & holiday home and is where she set her novel Dead Man's Folly, the TV adaption was also filled here. Afterwards we caught the ferry across the river to eat at a fabulous sea food restaurant, I had scallops, DH had a massive beer battered haddock, so delicious! Then we made the return journey, the 81 minute mostly up hill climb helped to burn off quite a few calories, I just had a pear and a banana for evening meal! Neither of us were hungry!!
9/24. 133.4 - 11.07 miles walked yesterday, took the coastal path in the other direction through Stoke Fleming, Streete and on to Slapton Sands, a very poignant American Memorial here to 700 US military who lost their lives in 1944 during training for D-Day which went wrong. Very good food day.
9/25. 133.4 - 11.21 miles yesterday, out last day before we start to head home. Walked down into Dartmouth and just sauntered around there for several hours savoring the river estuary views, had a delicious cream tea before heading back up the hill on the coastal path,. Some packing away done in readiness for travel tomorrow, awning, chairs etc. Stayed withing food limits.

9/19 154.4 STEPS 11,680 SLEEP 5hr10m
4.5 mile walk yesterday morning before breakfast and then a physical day doing my brick feature wall, calories and macros all great. Steps were higher than recorded as I took my watch off for most of the day.
My bad back has got worse and I slept badly because of it. Don't think I'll be getting much done today, it's my TOTM so with the back, the cramps and the tiredness I'm gonna be taking it easy.
9/20 154.6 STEPS 1,316 SLEEP 9hr28
Painful day yesterday, I spent most of it resting and doing stretches to try and fix my back. Managed to get a bit more done on my brick wall later on thanks to painkillers. I'm against the clock as I want to get it done before OH gets back from India on Sunday. Had a hungry day too, thanks to TOTM. Managed to stay in calories but macros not ideal and I had a late dinner which is still 'in transit' so there's a slight uptick in my weight today.
9/21 153.8
My back seems to have sorted itself out and the pain has almost gone phew! Haven't been wearing my tracker so no S&S data but I slept well and was pretty active working on my project. Food has been OK, I haven't had much of an appetite recently but did manage to eat enough. Pleased the weight is still going down, I feel like I'm due another stall any moment now.
9/22 154.2
A little bounce back up today, my scale is playing up, it took many attempts to get a consistent reading. Still not much appetite but forced myself to eat a large salad in the evening to get some fibre intake. Blood test at the start of the month showed I was mildly hypothyroid, having another test in a month to see if anything has changed. This might explain the lack of appetite.
My back is much better though feeling quite stiff, I am thinking of starting a morning yoga routine. Missing my morning walks but don't have time right now.
9/23 153.6 Another active day, I did 9hrs solid working on my wall, cutting bricks, mixing mortar, climbing ladders and washing buckets. I was a little low on protein yesterday as I had run out of food so I wasn't eating my normal stuff. Went to tesco in the evening to stock up and there were so many gaps on the shelves so I had to buy things I wouldn't usually get. We're having a supply crisis in the UK which is affecting food, a combo of a lack of lorry drivers, a shortage of Co2, factory worker shortages and brexit border controls. Oh joy. My home energy bill has just gone up by 50%, yikes!
9/24 153.6 Pretty similar day to yesterday, I've been feeling quite tired and slow lately so ended up having more carbs to keep my energy going, still within calories though. I've enjoyed having the house to myself for the last couple of weeks but am beginning to miss the company so I'm glad hubby and daughter are coming home this weekend, yay! Having a takeaway either tonight or tomorrow, I'm going to have chicken shish kebab and salad, I'll request no sauce or pita bread and ask for extra salad instead.
9/25 153.0 finished phase 1 of my feature wall and spent most of the rest of the day catching up on chores and cleaning up all the cement dust. Collected my daughter in the evening, she wanted to go to the chip shop instead of the kebab shop, I can't have anything from the chip shop as its all pretty much deep fried carbs so I had a chicken salad at home instead. Usually the smell of chunky chips covered in vinegar is too much to resist but I wasn't even slightly tempted to pinch one, NSV! Under calories today by 200, whoops!

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.

Thank you @deepwoodslady & @playhardkf2017
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?!

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
9/24. 156 again rough day yesterday… work was tough. Dad had surgery. 30 minute surgery ended up 2 hours.
9/25 156 Another rough day yesterday. Feeling horrible about surgery my dad had day before yesterday. Was there a miscommunication between drs & surgeon? I would not have approved this surgery & likely begun hospice for my dad instead. I knew risks with surgery but this seems more like miscommunication. So upset… hard to stay strong. How could this have happened?! Sorry don’t need answers just venting…

9/21 209 Keeping to the plan
9/22 209.6 got a vaccination yesterday, so I'm taking it easy today. not hungry, and have general malaise. A couple of days and I should be back to my routine.
9/23 208.2 Feel much better
9/24 207.4 finally breaking that plateau, as for the last several challenges I'd go from 211 -209 every dang week, except the week I topped out at 214. I'm keeping my fingers crossed (and hopefully my hunger in check) that this downward trend will continue. I think that post shingles vaccine fatigue and less hunger day or two helped me to reset my sense of how much to eat in a day. I'm comfortable eating less, What seems to trip me up are days at the YMCA, when I work out and am then famished. Update-I swam and do not have controlable hunger-- heavenly!!!
9/25 206.6 On a roll. I feel lie I'm in my Zen of resetting my habit, hunger, and eel. After that month of staying the same 3-4 pound range, it is rewarding to be on this roll, although I realize it's not great to lose too much in a short time. It will be nice to get out of the obese range and into Overweighthood!

It's going to happen one of these days, I know. I've lost weight before (though actually never this much; I haven't weighed this little in nearly 2 decades) but before I've always hit plateaus. It didn't happen this time. I don't know what I've done differently, maybe exercised more, maybe nothing at all (I've been vegan for decades, so it isn't that). Hope I'm not jinxing myself by mentioning it. But if I have to hit a plateau, I guess I would rather weigh 140-something and hold steady than hit a plateau when I still weighed a whole lot more. Even talking about it has given me the incentive to get out there and jog! On a less whiny note, Terror the horse is starting to LIKE me. He was so happy to see me on Friday, and is showing his true colours, those being "adorable", "sweet", "cooperative", "interested in everything" and "friendly." So far he appears to be unflappable, which is definitely something I want in a horse, esp as I am no spring chicken and live alone and plan to ride him out on the trails.

9/25 - 145.1 - Yay a drop! I outsmarted MFP. Then got outsmarted. I found the setting that can enable/disable negative calories for exercise. I disabled it, but it's still showing over cals (only -17 today, though from my baseline calories). But before bed, I took a screenshot! I had 462 calories remaining (exercise). At least I know what I have to do now and I managed to lose. Despite a nice steak dinner (with sweet potato and bacon green beans). I did watch my portions, which is an improvement from my normal steak dinner nights. Water was good at 90oz despite having a glass of wine and a beer. All in all, a good day (: Now to behave during the weekend to see if I can see the elusive 144 again!

Previous Day's Comments9/19 - 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.
9/22 - 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.
9/23 - Good news is scale says I gained muscle and water mass, but lost a tad bit of fat. Though MFP is irking me. When I completed my tracking yesterday after dinner, I was right at calorie goal. Now that I'm looking to determine what could cause a larger gain (I know I did not gain a full pound of muscle overnight), it's showing I'm 362 cals over goal. WHAT?! WHY did that change so much over night?! Ugh. Anyway, Today, leftover meatballs for lunch. Hamburgers for dinner. Am trying to balance my food/macros a bit with those options. Will play with it this morning to see what meals I can make up out of those. I cannot eat only 1200 calories a day, I'll be ravenous and a not very nice person so have to figure out why MFP is suddenly deducting all my calories the day after, too.
9/24 - MFP did it again. Went to bed with extra calories in my budget, woke up to "being over" by 263 calories. Not quite sure what's going on. It also said I had negative calories (like took away cals) from exercise, but I ended up going for a second walk yesterday around lunch with the pup once it warmed up, my steps were above goal, and I was good according to Fitbit (which syncs with MFP). Oh well. Guess I'll just have to track and realize that in the morning I'll be over cals. Either way, it's a loss for today so I'm content with that, despite the salty dinner. Bloodwork today so fasting until I can get home from that (appointment is at 9 and it's about 30-45 min drive). Dinner is steak night with sweet potato and green beans. I have leftover meatballs still, may use those up at lunch, especially if I push fasting until then. No activity today due to the bloodwork (fasting and no spikes in heart rate requested for it). Maybe a walk later if it's still cool enough for the pup.

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!
9/24: 215.6 Had a great day yesterday! 40 minutes on the Pelo, over 11,000 steps, and 53 net carbs. Ready to do it again today!
9/25: 214.8 Yesterday was a good day overall. Got my steps in and finished the day with 44 net carbs. Postponed my strength workout till today though because I was feeling rough yesterday.

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.
9/24 226.8 (-.8) A bump after my indulgence meal last night. I had a great swim yesterday. Looking forward to finishing off these ten days strong.
9/25 226.0 (1.6) Stayed within my calorie goals and drank all my water. Limited exercise. Today is Orange Theory Fitness. Another busy day ahead.7 -

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!

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!
9/23 - 182.8 (182.9) - 1201
Brrr! 45 this morning and wet wet wet. But it’s supposed to clear up later, so Rory and I will get a walk. Warming up into the 70s tomorrow and the following week, so perfect. Enjoy!
9/24 - 182 (182.5) - 1096
I’m glad my calories were low yesterday as my creative group is meeting for dinner this evening and I know there will be white chicken enchiladas and dump cake! I’m bringing salad, so at least one low-cal dish. 😁 I’m budgeting breakfast and lunch carefully so I can enjoy dinner. Also headed out for a long puppy walk — burn calories and puppy juice!
9/25 - 184 (182.8) - 1627
I didn’t keep my calories as low as I’d hoped but it wasn’t a complete blowout, and the only leftover is salad— everybody took the fattening stuff home with them. Yay! Back on track today.

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 …..188.8 ….. An expected uptick of 1.2 today after travel. Let’s hope there isn’t more lingering that will show up in the coming days. I hit Walmart while out of town yesterday and brought home NO JUNK. Not even for guests or grandchildren. Score! Today will be a good day.
09/25 …..188.8 ….. It’s almost the end of the round already and I’m just not doing very well. I’ve already been warned that if I don’t have my blood glucose under better control, they may have to postpone my surgery and we are talking possible cancer here! I’m not eating sweets, but I’m eating too many overall carbs which raises it just as much. I prep cooked dinner last night. It was so good that I ate dinner twice! 8:00 pm and 1:00 am (hours after closing out my MFP). Nothing went in the freezer. No leftovers for today. Ridiculous! So much for portion control. I’ve got to get a better scale reading tomorrow before it decides to go up!

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.

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 AF Lots of salt?? Under on carbs, fat and calories. 5 over on protein.
9/24 119.0 AF It has cooled off here and I need to keep my water consumption up. I also have quit making my version of BPC. (BulletProof Coffee)
9/25 118.5 AF Only 2100 steps because I’m trying to not use my left foot. Toe still hurts but I think it’s better.7
