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.
Last short-term goal - done, done and done!!!!!
169....168....167....166....165....164....163....162.X
Next short-term goal:
162....161....160............159.x
SW (9/18): 163.3
9/19 - DNW
9/20 - DNW
9/21: 163.1
9/22: 163.2
9/23: 163.0
9/24: 163.0
9/25: DNW - I went to bed after midnight, woke up around 3am and couldn't sleep so got up. Obviously, weight would not have been accurate so skipped weighing in today.
9/26: 162.9 - I finally hit my latest short-term goal and it seemed to take forever - hit 162.x. I'm moving on to my next goal even if it bounces back up a little over the next days. I am going to make my next short-term goal a little easier to get to this time.
I want to see the 150's. So here goes.....
Stewed the last of our tomatoes from the garden yesterday and going to make chili today. Fall weather, chili, and football - what more could you ask for on a Sunday!
9/27: 162.8 - hung on to 162.x even with the chili I made. I was tempted to make cornbread but the way I make it (and maybe everyone makes it this way? or it's the southern way?) is so fattening by heating oil in a cast iron skillet and when you pour the batter in it starts frying. So good, but I'll save that for a day later down the road. The weather is absolutely beautiful and will be all week. I can't wait to go hike some trails by the ocean. Have a great week everyone!
I had to edit because I keep transposing my numbers or I can't get my head around I'm 162.9 and not 169.2. It is so much fun to correct and be reminded that I'm finally in the low 160's.
9/28: 162.7 - I can't believe this is the end of the round, it went so fast! Whether you lost, gained, stayed the same, had a NSV, or learned from this round what to do better next round, congratulations to us all for coming back here every day and holding ourselves accountable, sharing our experiences, and learning from each other. Bring on the next round!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
If I quit now, I'll soon be back where I started. And when I started, I so desperately wanted to be where I am now!
There is no going back! NOT THIS TIME!12 -

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.
9/23 234.4 - Not really sure here. I did snack a bit because I was starving when I got home from work and work ordered Chinese, probably just a lot of water retention. Have to drink more today and hope to flush the system. Burned 720 calories on the bike this morning. I had a lot left in the tank but I had to start getting ready for work
.
9/24 234.1 - Not a true comparison vs previous days because I didn't work out this morning. I woke up and was feeling sluggish, heavy legs and figured I wouldn't give my best if I worked out then. Luckily it's the weekend and I can get some good work in tonight and all weekend long. I honestly feel gross not working out in the morning, which is kind of interesting to notice.
9/25 231.3
9/26 228.8
9/27 230.8 - Clearly yesterday was an anomaly. Between a hard workout and cutting the grass, I was probably in need of water. Although this morning's weigh-in was without working out... so I guess we'll see tomorrow what my normalized weight will be. I can't stop getting rides in on the bike and I love trying to get huge calorie burns and pushing myself. BUT as injury prone as I am (especially my legs) I also try to keep it light on certain days to not get hurt and then have to find a new workout. I think I beat my round goal????
9/28 229.1 - Very pleased with this ending weight. Honestly can't believe that I'm under 230 and this weight puts me 70 lbs down which sounds crazy to say.13 -

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!
9/27 - 182.6 (182.6) - 1182
Not bad. DH wants gyros for lunch, so I’ll skip the pita and won’t be hungry for dinner, plus lots of water. Should be fine!
9/28 - 182.4 (182.5) - 1156
Yay — another good round. See you in the next one!10 -

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.

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.
9/24: 206.6
It’s a happy Friday! (if you decide that it is…and I do!)
9/25: 206.2
9/26: 206.8
9/27: 208.4
Cruising along in the 206 zone and BOOM! Chinese Buffet for lunch yesterday. Yes, yesterday was higher in calories, and the weekend was pretty undisciplined, but I think most of this is sodium based water retention. With a little leakage and evaporation, things will get back to normal soon. 😊
9/28:207.8
Ok, so this correction after the buffet may take a day or two. 😊
But overall, I am somewhat satisfied with this round and with this September as a whole. I met my Minor Goal, but mostly because I ended the last round so poorly.
This is just the opening volley of a four-month season of food temptation for me. Along with this is a weather pattern that makes it difficult to enjoy outdoor exercise. (I know, there is no such thing as bad weather; only bad clothes.) Time to get serious. It’s ok to have a buffet once in a while, but I need to keep it from being a lifestyle.
This is where I need a stack of ten-day challenges in a row! See you in round 164!
12 -
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!
9/27: 212.0 Another big drop, wow! Had a great day yesterday- 34 net carbs and hit my step goal. I took the weekend off from exercise because of not feeling 100%-I still don’t today- but hopping back on it today. Bring on the week!
9/28: 211.8 Not surprised by the tiny drop after the huge drops of the past two days. Still, I’m happy! Had a great day yesterday- steps done, strength training done, and finished the day at 50 net carbs. I’ve had a great 10 days!
Total round loss: 6.8lbs!!!

I'm new here and couldn't find this thread for several days!! Thanks all! Despite travel, back issues, and sadness about my declining mom, I made my goal! I might try a new challenge.
Height: 5'7"
Age: 54
Highest weight (this go around): 165.5 lbs
SW: 159.2 lbs (9/19/21)
Challenge Goal: <159
UGW: 145 lbs
9/19 159.2 No afternoon snacking! Not much activity, though. Emotional day.
9/20 158.6 Heavy work day--> a lot of sitting at a desk and no significant activity. Snacking was controlled.
9/21 158.2 Super busy day - some work, some home stuff, some volunteer work. Tried to jog at the arb this morning - it made my back worse (herniated disc decades ago --> daily exercises usually keep it happy and healthy) so I opted for a short walk, which was good for my psyche if a little disappointing. Ate OK - minimal snacking again, but ate a lot at dinner. Trying not to feel overwhelmed by my todo list which is growing even as I'm knocking items off it. . . .
9/22 159.2
9/23 159.4
9/24 158.8. Travel --> drove the car for 7 hours. Ate OK.
9/25 Out of town. Visits. Sadness. Sore back!
9/26 Travel --> drove the car for 5.5 hours (trip home was much faster! LOL!). Ate well. Sadness. Back improved.
9/27 158.2 My back is super sore; did my daily back exercises x2. Heavy payroll day --> lots of sitting which is not good for my back.

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!!!
9/25 205.6 On a roll. I feel like I'm in my Zen of resetting my habit, hunger, and even keel. After that month of staying within 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! I feel hunger, and can wait for it to pass. Interestingly the week of vaccines has helped me reset, lessening hunger and possibly reduced cravings. I no longer go for the treats set out at the Y for the older folks.
Weight loss can cause one to be cold-This Arizonan needs a warm hat, gloves and a warm coat for the weight loss and stint in the MInnesota fall!
9/26 207.2 So much for that 12 Subway sandwich followed by their three cookies! Gained back yesterday's loss. Oh well. Today and tomorrow are new days!
9/27 210.4
9/28 209.4 Yeah, -1.8 less than I started this round.

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 here. Still doing great staying in my calorie goal range. Things will get back to normal later this week.
9/27 223.8 (-3.8) Wowsa! This is a fabulous surprise. No exercise yesterday, but I did still focus on staying on plan and drinking all my water. Today I’m looking forward to being back at the pool.
9/28 223.4 (-4.2) I’ll be out early for a walk with my dogs and then the art show begins today. I can’t wait! I'm going to take a week long break and eat just below maintenance level starting tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous about it, but I'm four months in and think it's a good idea. I'll be setting my goal to losing a half a pound a week. I've never done this intentionally in the past, so we'll see how it goes. It will be good practice for when I hit my goal next year. I'll still be logging and reporting. I'll see you tomorrow in Round 164.

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 earlystart 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.
9/24-169-Glad to be in the 160’s. Only walked 2 miles, one was with the horse as his warm up. Ate healthy need more water.
9/27-DNW-Ate a well seasoned steak last night. Finally cooler and can spread my tasks throughout the day and evening.
9/28-171-Hmmmm, perhaps I should not have had cheese and crackers late at night while sewing, after dinner. Can’t wait to start a new round!!!9 -

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.

SW RND 163 117.0 AW 118.45
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
**UPDATE: By noon today I had consumed about 10 cups of coffee and my weight was down to 119.0. When I went to bed I was up to 125.0!
9/27 118.5 Made 5 trips to the bathroom during the night to get rid of water!
9/28 117.5 AF What a strange round weight wise.
Smoke creates such a beautiful sunrise!
See you tomorrow in Round 164!

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.
09/27 …..187.6 ….. Finally some progress over the past couple of days’ struggles. This number is exactly where I started. My goal is to love ANYTHING, so I have until tomorrow to drop at least 0.1 to make goal. Of course, I would have loved to see a better round but it’s just been tough this time. July & August were good to me. September…..notsomuch. Here’s to a good October ya’ll.
09/28 …..188.4 ….. …..188.4. Extreme hunger. I caved in after some medical news. Wish now I had satisfied the hunger but made better choices. I would still have ended up over calorie after closing out my diary, but healthy food is always better.

9/20: 225.2 lb
9/21: 224.0 lb
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: 223.4 lb - Went to a sports bar to watch Sunday football and ended-up 800+ cal "over".
9/28: 221.0 lb - 432 cal "under" + 15-hour fast = 2.4 lb weight loss
I got up at ~ 3 a.m., weighed myself, and I weighed 222.0 lb (0.1 lb short of my Challenge goal). I went back to bed, got back up at 7:30 a.m. (~ 15 hours after my last meal) and re-weighed at 221.0 lb. Goal accomplished!
Completed this Round with a 6 lb loss. I lost weight on 7 of the 10 days.
I hope that everyone else did well on the Challenge, and best wishes to those of you who continue on to the next Challenge. Thanks, @quiltingjaine , for moderating this Challenge.7 -

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.

9/27 117.6 or 8 can’t remember. This past weekend’s camping trip was beautiful!!! Saturday was a salty food day but not the worst. Food was over all decent this weekend. Food has been really good all day. I made a healthy apple cobbler yesterday to have for breakfast a few days this week. It came out so yummy! I had that and a protein shake for breakfast; lunch was 3ish oz of chicken breast, a couple roasted tomatoes, 3 cone peppers, a pickling cucumber, roasted beets and 1.5 oz honey goat cheese. Lunch was also really good and was so much food for only about 420-475 calories (not sure how much spray olive oil was on the roasted veggies). Dinner will be roasted pork chops with golden potatoes, broccoli, and summer squash.
Eating at maintenance has already been really good for me mentally and physically. I’m looking forward to seeing how my energy levels are over the next couple of weeks. I ran about 3.5ish miles this morning and did a full body bodyweight/light dumb bell workout during my lunch.
9/28 117.2 pre-workout 116.4 post workout. I’m really glad my scale is being normal again. It must have gotten settled in a good spot on the floor. As I’m eating in maintenance, starting yesterday I’ve been really focused on getting enough protein/extra protein to help with developing muscle as I start to try and recomp. Currently trying to get 120 g per day… that can be a tough number to reach but luckily I was able to get there yesterday and am on the right track today.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with this round.7 -
Oops, where did I get that extra day from? Thought tomorrow was going to be the last day, oh well, a new day & new round tomorrow

9/19 202.3
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.

I was after an elusive 85 lbs loss 😂 but 83 will do me fine. (Now 84 😁)
• In Maintenance for over 2 years.
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal rangeJust because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessarily. People are still dying out there………
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
September focus:- maintain weight < 150 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
- Work on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
Aims:2021 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 163- Maintain weight < 150
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy
Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:- 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
- 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
- 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2021
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
