Day/Weight/Comment
9/19: 163
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!
9/25: 161.7
Rain cleared up much earlier than expected yesterday and brought with it such a nice breeze on my mid-day walk. Busy, busy all weekend but have lots of planned exercise I need to fit in as well.

fmfdfa2020 · September 2021

Thank you @quiltingjaine !! May 10, 2021 - 183.1 - just 2.9 pounds off 186, my heaviest weight ever - (stopped posting on this challenge July 2020 - very glad to be back!)

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.

Next short-term goal:
169....168....167....166....165....164....163....162.X

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!

I am still 23.8 pounds from goal and to be honest, I clearly need to lose more than 23.8 pounds but I'll decide once I get there. Today is also my 6 month MFP anniversary, and I have lost 75.2 pounds (much faster in the beginning, slightly over 2 pounds per week more lately). Jogged last night for the first time this week (road was flooded). Going to put the saddle on Terror today to see how he likes that. I don't anticipate that he will pay the least bit of attention, as he's used to having harness put on him. I also want to see if the girth fits his portly self!

@chublet25 - I'm a few days late but remembered reading this and had to go back to it to post. Let's see, I have a list because you are doing so well

Congratulations on hitting the 140's; congratulations on saying good riddance to Overweight for now Normal Weight; and congratulations on losing 75 pounds in 6 months!! Each of these alone is a big deal!! You must be really feeling the difference not carry around those pounds any longer (I do and I've only lost 20 lbs). I've said it before and others have as well, but you are an inspiration!!!! Way to go!!!!

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.
9/23 - 145.5 - Ate well and hopped on the treadmill last night.
9/24 - 145 - My husband is making chili and beer bread tonight for supper. I'll eat measured portions and enjoy it!
9/25 - 145.5 - Not a surprise and I think I ate beyond maintenance today, so tomorrow won't be pretty. However, I got a lot of walking in today and enjoyed putting up some Autumn decorations.

**********************************************
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!

9/26 152.6 Went to tesco yesterday morning to get stuff for a Sunday roast to celebrate everyone being back home today. When I got back I did some laundry and then felt absolutely knackered so crashed on the sofa and binge watched a Netflix series for most of the rest of the day. Carbs were a bit high, ended up having 200g of yoghurt in the evening as I felt really empty and shaky so that put me over a bit but I needed it. Round goal weight is in sight, only 0.2 to go!

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.
9/26. 135. - no walking yesterday; 5 hours in the car travelling back, stopped overnight ¾ of the way back to meet up with some friends and of course it involved eating and a couple of adult beverages hence this mornings numbers! No probs it was a good night!

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.
9/26: 213.2 Pretty surprised by such a big drop, but very happy about it. Had a great day yesterday- hit my steps, finished the day with 50 net carbs, and I’m feeling better too! Bring on today, I’m ready!

Yay yippee! So nice to see the downward momentum. Enjoy your Sunday, everyone.

9/20 - 184.4 (183.5) - 1435
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.

9/21 - 183.2 (183.3) - 1177
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!

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.

9/26 - 183 (182.7) - 1119
As long as my moving average keeps dropping. Enjoy your day!

9/22: 222.8 lb - Did well on my 1st day on MFP. Need to work on my macros, though.
9/23: 223.2 lb - Expected gain, as I was 480 cal "over", yesterday.
9/24: 223.0 lb - Still over on calories, but a small weight loss and still headed in the right direction.
9/25: 222.2 lb - 0.3 lb away from goal weight for Round 163.
9/26: 222.4 lb - Probably miscalculated breakfast calories.
9/27
9/28

Sep. 26, 2021: This is one of those weigh-ins that can crush you...I was on-the-cusp of breaking the 222 lb mark, THOUGHT that I was "under" for-the-day, but I'm guessing I underestimated the calories in yesterday's breakfast. I ordered an item off the breakfast menu at a local restaurant that I've never had before, and I KNEW it was going to be mega-high in-calories, but I didn't know just how high. I worked hard, the rest of the day, to stay within what I THOUGHT was my calories left, but the scale showed a small gain, again, probably due to the breakfast miscalculation. Having a bowel movement AFTER weighing-in didn't help things, either #tmi. I'm STILL only 0.5 lb away from this Round's goal weight, so onward and downward! 💪

@mourvedre You've got this. My weight bounces up and down but the downward trend is obvious when I look over time. You are down over four pounds this round. That's fantastic!! Someone recommended an app to me early on called Happy Scale. It shows weight loss trends and is really reassuring when I see the bouncing numbers.

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.
9/26 225.4 (-2.2) Didn’t end up working out yesterday. I have an art show coming up in a few days and I’ve been painting and preparing. I think I need to give myself a little grace on the exercise front. I'm still doing great staying within my calorie goal range and it's showing on the scale. Things will get back to normal later this week.

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.

**Comments apply to previous day**

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 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.
9/26 120.0 ??? Water retention??? Another low carb day. Had 1/2 of a Greek salad and a small amount of gyro meat, NO pita. Drank at least 90 oz of water and had large TMI. Thank you BPC! AF

Dr Berg's DIY Homemade Electrolyte Shake

1 avocado
1 cup of berries (raspberries, blackberries, strawberries)
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 TBS organic apple cider vinegar
1/4 tsp himalayan pink salt
5 cups water/ice cubes ( to desired consistency)
Sweeten if needed with stevia
From Dr. Berg's Video notes~
Try this easy homemade electrolyte shake recipe—it’s keto-friendly!

Replenishing your electrolytes is crucial on a Healthy Keto and intermittent fasting plan. Without electrolyte replenishment, you might experience keto flu, constipation, dehydration, and many other issues.

If you exercise or you sweat a lot, you can add more sea salt to the recipe if needed. 1/2 tsp should be plenty.

Why is this electrolyte shake so powerful? It is packed full of potassium, magnesium, sodium, and calcium. Take a look at the electrolyte breakdown.

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!

09/26 …..188.8 ….. …..I ate right at maintenance and am at the exact scale reading as yesterday, including the body fat reading. I am staying faithful to my dietary choices but I am struggling with portion control. Too many travel days and “off” days put me back at square one with hunger and cravings. A shake-up day helps, but not a stretch of being off plan. My body wants me to keep feeding it blindly. Just another battle but I’m equipped and inspired by all of you.

9/19: 163
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!
9/25: 161.7
Rain cleared up much earlier than expected yesterday and brought with it such a nice breeze on my mid-day walk. Busy, busy all weekend but have lots of planned exercise I need to fit in as well.
9/26: 161.5
Very active day yesterday but at the same time super relaxing. Made a delicious dinner last night with cauliflower gnocchi.

9/26 225.4 (-2.2) Didn’t end up working out yesterday. I have an art show coming up in a few days and I’ve been painting and preparing. I think I need to give myself a little grace on the exercise front. I'm still doing great staying within my calorie goal range and it's showing on the scale. Things will get back to normal later this week.

@coblujay - I don't know if you're comfortable posting some pics of your paintings, but if so, I would love to see them. We are all posting every day here and it's fun to see a glimpse into other aspects of people's lives.
