Goal weight for this round: Maintaining 116/117 or dropping a little bit
Previous days10/1 Did not post. Scale was weird and read 115 prior to my workout and then it read 116 after my workout.
9/29 117.2 pre-workout 116.4 post workout. Started the morning with a 4 mile run. It felt pretty decent except for a side stich almost half way through it but I just walked for a bit and then slowly jogged until I could run a bit faster again. Starting to look into cold weather gear for running because my goal is to run through winter. Slept well for the first time in a while last night. I’m not completely sure why I slept so well but I’m hoping it continues 😊.
9/30 117.4 pre-workout 116.4 post workout- Today was a solid day all around. I ran a little under 3 miles this morning and my food has been on point all day. I even resisted Chipotle when my husband decided he wanted that and I continued to cook the drumsticks I took out of the freezer for dinner. I had three drumsticks and dipped in a combo of bbq and buffalo sauce (~1 tbs total), roasted cauliflower sprinkled with this new powdered cheese seasoning from Trader Joe’s (so yummy!), and 300g of cantaloupe for dessert. Breakfast and lunch was also yummy while being healthy too!
10/2 Did not weigh today. Walked the nearby lake and hit the farmer’s market with my friend. Walked a total of 6ish miles total this morning. Food has been good and energy is improving as I continue to eat at maintenance and work on building strength/muscle.
Non scale victory: I made soup and had left over chicken for lunch today with a slice of bakery toast. I got full pretty quickly and didn’t feel the need to finish the soup. I think eating the chicken before everything helped a bit with satiety. Have a good weekend all!

9/29 207 Wow, I half expect that drop is due to dehydration, but will take it! Went sailing for the first time with my brother in his Hobie Cat yesterday-so I didn't do much of the work. And I wasn't guzzling water all day, but lost weight? Maybe I should go sailing more often!
9/30 206.4 Nice long walk in a local park yesterday
10/1 205.4 More sailing yesterday, more weight gone. Maybe it's that I'm away from the fridge. I'm at the same weight I was at the end of June, so reality check. 205.2 -214 range over the summer. At least I'm down from 230 in April, and that 278 several years ago! Trying these weight loss challenges have kept my focus on eating healthy foods in limited portions. So keeping it up. Thanks for participating you all.
@_JeffreyD_Yep, agree regarding fb & Instagram...MFP is a far better platform. Reddit's loseit is also good

Day/Weight/Comment
9/29 / 206 / I was expecting a drop, but not this big of one! I had a big lunch and went to bed early - ate slightly less calories than normal. Almost thinking it's just a reflection of me having less in my body right before weigh-in time. My round goal weight may be way too high but I'll see where things are at tomorrow.
9/30 / 206.4 / Played 9 holes of golf yesterday and walked the course rather than riding. Took my dog for a short walk as well. Losses the few days before were substantial so not surprised by this small bump. Today my husband, mom and I are going for a one night getaway to Banff. I am planning two days at maintenance calories - I was supposed to be in a two week maintenance break right now but decided for various reasons not to stick it out the whole time. However, decided to cut myself a few planned days at maintenance while I enjoy some holidays.

That area is soooo pretty!!!! My husband and I took a trip to Jasper 5ish years ago. Such an amazing place!!
I have very fond memories of Banff, DD & her BF worked there for a year during her year out there after graduating. We flew out to have a fortnight holiday with them, stayed in The Ptarmigan, did all the touristy bits; gondola to top of Sulphur Mountain, Johnson Canyon, Alabaster glacier, the hot springs, hiked up Lake Louise to Tree House & snow line, canoed on a lake, picniced at Canataloop Lakes, celebrated Canada Day whilst there. Oh, brings it all back!! Loved it there!!
You enjoy!! xx
That sounds like a fantastic time! We loved our time there, we did a three day hike along Jasper's Skyline Trail and it was just jaw-droppingly beautiful the entire 28 miles of it. We also rented a rowboat on Pyramid lake one day and just stared at the beautiful mountains for a while. We did a lot of drives as well to see the various lakes like Maligne and others. I remember swimming at one of their glacier lakes too! We stayed at the Tonquin Inn on the main street. I loved the scenic halfish mile or so walk I would take each morning to get us breakfast at one of their cute bakeries/cafes. I would love to go back someday. Thanks for that trip down memory lane
This was at "The Notch"

Day/Weight/Comment
9/29 - 145 - My husband starts his cancer maintenance treatments today. It's only 3 weekly treatments compared to the 6 week course he took over the summer, so I'm hoping I can keep my stress to a minimum and stay on track.
9/30 - 144.5 - I'm home from work today to keep an eye on my husband. He requested grilled cheese and tomato soup for lunch which wasn't too bad for my diet. I'm just trying to keep away from the Halloween candy we have stashed in the cupboard.
10/1 - 144 - It's been 4 months since I've been at this weight. I'm sure it will bounce, but this will help my trend weight.
10/2 - 144.5- I got a little off track today with eating, although I got in plenty of exercise. I'll see how my weight reacts over the next few days.

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!😷
October 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 164- 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.

@musicsax @_JeffreyD_ @playhardkf2017 Thanks for sharing ... love to hear about everyone's trips! Feel very lucky to live only an hour away from such a beautiful part of the world! One of the best parts about losing weight is having more energy and stamina to get out and enjoy the mountains.7

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?!

Trend goal for round 152.8
**********************************************
9/29 151.8 (trend 153.9) Starting this round with a drop is exciting but I don't think I'm going to change my goal weight, instead I think I'll track my trend weight this round too, to see if I learn anything from it. My trend weight drop last round was 3.2lbs, compared to the 2lbs change in scale weight I had. I spent most of yesterday at my mum's house restoring and refitting some skirting boards that were removed back last winter when her house got flooded. It was good to get it done so she can close that chapter and move on from it. Had a banana for breakfast and then nothing until 7pm as I was busy and didn't feel hungry so I ended up 200 under which might be why there's a drop today. Protein is concerning me, I'm thinking of changing my macros to reduce fat and raise protein, not sure if it'll work for me as I find fat really satiating but I'm worried about losing muscle and I don't want to reduce carbs any further as I get really lethargic when I go below 35%.
9/30 151.6 (trend 153.6) I went shopping for some new walking/trail running shoes yesterday, first time in clothes shops for about 18 months. I didn't find anything suitable so decided to browse for clothes, although I'm not really needing any as stuff I have that's been in storage is starting to fit me again. It was such a different experience to how I remember it in the past, I didn't cringe every time I saw my reflection and even tried on a few things and was surprised to find I'm down a jeans size and can fit medium size 12-14 jumpers without them clinging in all the wrong places! Went for an evening walk with hubby and a couple of drinks, gotta watch out, this is becoming a habit. Calories 100 over, binged a bit on cheese, ham and pickles and not enough veggies.
10/1 153.0 (trend 153.5) Biggest overnight gain that I've had in a while but I'm not surprised. I had cravings all day yesterday and felt really lethargic so didn't get any activity in. I started the day with eggs and a pear rather than my normal banana and rather than making me feel more satisfied it just triggered the munchies monster and nothing I ate would stop me from thinking about food. I wasn't even hungry, just wanted to snack snack snack. I was 200 cals over in the end so obviously not enough to cause a 1.4lb gain, but extra carbs and fibre are having lingering effects I guess. Feeling a bit disappointed with myself and worried that I might be subconsciously self sabotaging as I'm nearly at 30lbs lost and I had told myself when I get there I would start regularly visiting the gym, something I'm dreading. I must make sure I stay busy and stick to the plan today.
10/2 151.4 (trend 153.2) Steps 13,973 Well I decided that the best thing to do was not to wait until I hit 30lbs lost to start going to the gym in case it was leading to self sabotage, so straight after posting yesterday I chucked on my gym clothes and hot footed it down there before I had a chance to over think it and chicken out. First time I've been there in 2.5yrs and it was totally fine, I just walked on the treadmill for an hour at 3.8mph, I don't want to start any complicated fitness routine as my main focus is fat loss right now. Went out in the evening and calories were way over so I'm extra happy with the drop today.
10/3 153.0 (trend 153.2) I think this is going to be one of those bumpy rounds, time to stop staring at numbers and just trust the process.

]Round 164 (96th for me) . I still need this to help keep me on track, we go away again for a long weekend during this round so lets see how I do this time !!
@QuiltingJaine-thank you for setting up the new round.
Challenge for this round is to stay on track – Friday we are off for another elongated weekend away in our touring caravan, up to North East Yorkshire this time. Again for the major part I will be responsible for both choosing & providing food, a loss will be welcome – any loss will be a win!
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.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

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. Focus on getting enough vegetables.
Next short-term goal:

09/29: 162.0
09/30: 161.8
10/01: 161.7
10/02: 161.7 - NSV Alert! I'm amazed every day the little things that feel so much better after losing almost 25 pounds from my heaviest. Yesterday, I walked back and forth from my workshop to my house so many times because I drank so much water and no bathroom in my workshop. Every time I had to step from the ground to the porch with no step (my husband just poured a new cement step a few days ago), I could lift up so easily not carrying that extra 25 pounds. I can't wait to see what I feel like as I lose the next 25 pounds. Yay!

Round 164 goals: work out at least 30 mins every day, drink 2 litres water daily, fast 16 hours a day, no alcohol
Day/Weight/Comment:
9/29 – 229.4 – Had a salty dinner but stayed under my calorie goal and worked out for 30 minutes. No alcohol.
9/30 – 227.6 – Wasn’t expecting this drop, but I’m not complaining! Did pretty well yesterday, stayed under my calorie goal and worked out for 30 mins. No alcohol.
10/1 – 228 – I went wayyy over my calorie goal yesterday and I didn’t exercise. No alcohol. I will try to have an extra healthy day today to make up for it.
10/2 – 227 – I did not have a healthy dinner but still stayed under my calorie goal. No exercise. No alcohol. Nervous about our anniversary dinner tonight and hoping I can make good choices while still enjoying myself. Fingers crossed!
10/3 – 228.4 - Weigh in after night out for 3 year anniversary – Well, my food choices at dinner last night were actually ok but I ruined it with too much wine! Another night out tonight unless the weather doesn’t get any better in which case I’ll stay in and eat healthy.

DH made white chicken enchiladas last night for dinner — yummy, but high cals and I didn’t plan ahead too well. Leftovers tonight, but I’ll have a light lunch, and a good walk with the pup before the afternoon rain arrives. Enjoy your Saturday!
10/03 — 180.8 (181.3) - 1112
We skipped the enchiladas last night in favor of rotisserie chicken, so the high-fat cheesy things are on the menu for tonight. Planning for them! Rory pup and I had a lovely walk along the greenway yesterday. Hoping for another when the rain stops. He’s a great motivator—lots of energy to dissipate! Happy Sunday, all!

10/3 - 239.0 My dad's 82nd BD yesterday. We went to an outdoor party for him and I didn't eat particularly well. Fried chicken, pasta salad, and birthday cake were the worst of my offenses, but in limited quantities (With this darned tooth I have to eat small bites and chew on one side, etc.) I figured taking it easy the rest of the day would offset, but apparently not. What the heck, this may be the last time dad is able to celebrate, I'll accept the calories and move on.

9/29 223.6 (+.2) Today is my first day of maintenance. I’m taking seven days “off” and allowing my body to adjust to where I am before starting on the next phase. I’m going from 1250 calories a day to 1740. It feels strange and uncomfortable already and this is just breakfast. No planned formal exercise today. The art show is going great so far, which is really exciting.
9/30 223.8 (+.4) My art show sold out! I’m thrilled. It was a crazy busy day as you can imagine. I ate dinner late and didn’t get in all my water, so I’m not surprised at a slight bump on the scale. It was my first day in maintenance mode. It was nice to add a little parmesan cheese to my salad and have a slice of toast with peanut butter. Tish asked me if I was going to eat up to my maintenance calorie level or just eat more when I specifically wanted it. My response was the first, to eat up to my maintenance level. As I was eating yesterday, I better understood what she was asking. I did measure and log and had 200 calories left at the end of the day. My answer after one day in is…I will eat until I’m not hungry and keep it below my calorie goals. After limiting my calories, it’s not surprising that I get full even when I have calories left. It was a strange, but good first day.
10/1 222.8 (-.6) Yesterday was one of my busiest days in a long time, so I didn’t eat up to maintenance level. I never thought I’d find it difficult to eat more. Things will slow down for awhile now and I can get back to exercise, drinking my water and eating according to plan. I think I need a nap.
10/2 223.6 (+.2) I got my swimming in yesterday and have Orange Theory Fitness on the schedule today. I did eat up to my maintenance calorie level and half of my exercise calories. In that mix, I actually had a bottled margarita, my first alcohol since I started this journey. I’m not stressing at all over the bump. It will be interesting to see how my body responds to this week’s change in calorie levels.
10/3 223.4 (0) My lunch yesterday was late and about 5pm I thought I should prep dinner so I’d finish eating by 6pm. But…I wasn’t the least bit hungry. So, no dinner for me. I ate just under 1300 calories. With exercise, I had 850 calories remaining. Today is a walk with the dogs and I’m planning to do a better job eating all my meals and drinking all my water. Just a few days left in maintenance mode.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/29 / 206 / I was expecting a drop, but not this big of one! I had a big lunch and went to bed early - ate slightly less calories than normal. Almost thinking it's just a reflection of me having less in my body right before weigh-in time. My round goal weight may be way too high but I'll see where things are at tomorrow.
9/30 / 206.4 / Played 9 holes of golf yesterday and walked the course rather than riding. Took my dog for a short walk as well. Losses the few days before were substantial so not surprised by this small bump. Today my husband, mom and I are going for a one night getaway to Banff. I am planning two days at maintenance calories - I was supposed to be in a two week maintenance break right now but decided for various reasons not to stick it out the whole time. However, decided to cut myself a few planned days at maintenance while I enjoy some holidays.
10/1 / 206.4 / Considering myself lucky I didn't see a gain on the scale today as I had a bigger dinner out with my husband last night. Sometimes it takes a day or two to show up but I also may have over-estimated how many calories I ate. Similar type of day today but intending to stay within calories.. focusing on ensuring I get my 10K steps as well.
10/2 / 206.2 / Yesterday my husband, mother and I had high tea at the Banff Springs Hotel. Whenever I have a meal out that I cannot accurately track due to the calories not being posted online, I take care to overestimate so I don't see a negative impact on the scale. So, I got to really enjoy myself but still saw a drop today, so double win!
10/3 / 206.6 / Golfed 18 holes yesterday and walked the course. Had supper out afterwards with friends. Pre-picked my meal and was happy with my choices.

9/29 207 Wow, I half expect that drop is due to dehydration, but will take it! Went sailing for the first time with my brother in his Hobie Cat yesterday-so I didn't do much of the work. And I wasn't guzzling water all day, but lost weight? Maybe I should go sailing more often!
9/30 206.4 Nice long walk in a local park yesterday
10/1 205.4 More sailing yesterday, more weight gone. Maybe it's that I'm away from the fridge. I'm at the same weight I was at the end of June, so reality check. 205.2 -214 range over the summer. At least I'm down from 230 in April, and that 278 several years ago! Trying these weight loss challenges have kept my focus on eating healthy foods in limited portions. So keeping it up. Thanks for participating you all.
@_JeffreyD_Yep, agree regarding fb & Instagram...MFP is a far better platform. Reddit's loseit is also good
10/2 207.4
10/3 206.4 Such a relief to be out of that 209-211 plateau from last month! I must admit, it was getting old to start several challenges and have the same results week after week. challenge after challenge. I'm planning on these 200 + single digits to stay around a while! I do not want to go back to the 200 +teens! My new mini goal is to become "overweight." 202 for my height is the top of the BMI chart for my height and I can say, "Adios" to obesity! The end of October is realistic; sooner would be cool. Speaking of cool, is anybody else cold now that we weigh less?

Goals for round #2:
1- drink more water
2- spend less time on social media and more time on my MFP
3- get up every day at 6AM
Round one: lost 2.2 lbs
09/29 -184.0 was a bit over with eating. Did a strength training class. I increased my cycling time this week and I usually gain a few pounds. So far my weight is steady. But yesterday I wasn’t organized with food… hmmm…. I’ll try to go back on track tomorrow.
09/30 - 184.2 and another 40K on the bike! Ended riding 400K in September. I’m happy about that and that is encouraging me to aim for 450K in October. But need to rest. I was pretty tired and aching during yesterday’s ride
10/01 - 183.8 today I biked 32K and got lost on one of the mtb trails. And it was fun.
10/02 - 185 this was kind of expected. The day before I had a big pasta dish for dinner. First I though I would eat half but I was so hungry! Another 36K on my bike😀
10/03 - 182.4 nice!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/29 206.6 Getting started here. Weight hopefully is up a bit from the long weekend of traveling. We visit my almost 82 year old mother often to help her and also have carry in from somewhere. Always stressful and I eat.
9/30 207.2 Hopefully that was the salty food I ate yesterday. I should know better by now but it was tasty. Today is looking like it’s going to be stressful. Got to keep myself focused and not give into impulse stress eating.
10/1 206.8 Turned out to be an okay day yesterday even with all the stress. I was down instead of up. 😊
10/2 207.6. Not so good last night. We stayed up very late and ended up binge eating. Both of these I never do. Still a lot of stress and figuring out how to cope with it. Hubby had a very bad health diagnosis on Thursday and I need to learn better coping skills than eating.
10/3 206.2. Very happy with this. I watched my snacking and finally got rid of all that salt from eating out earlier this week.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/28 …..188.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
09/29 …..185.6 ….. Finally a TMI on day 5. A huge drop on the scale and a full 1% down on the body fat. I’ve really got to start adding fiber, even if it’s in the form of benefiber. A very light dinner and some good snack choices last night really helped too. I am feeling hopeful after this drop. Good luck to everyone this round.
09/30 …..186.2 ….. I think this is a normal physical adjustment to the nearly 3 pound drop yesterday. However, I did have 3 pieces of sugar-free Russell Stovers dark chocolate from a friend that put me over calories by less than 200. Also, not too much movement yesterday. I was staining doors for my reno and that kept me in place most of the day. I’ll work harder at some extra activity. I’m just so tired in the evenings.
10/01 …..187.0 ….. Dammit! Binge last night due to cravings. I will try to make today count for something!
10/02 …..185.0 ….. I did very well yesterday. Tons of total overall calorie burn, 16,000 steps which added up going in and out of house working outside. 7 miles, 6 floors and 2900 overall calories burned for the day. This 2 pound drop is welcome! Travel today so, unfortunately, there will be a bump up again tomorrow. Today will be the opposite. Lots of car sitting and driving, little movement, and restaurant for my main meal. Ugg. Life happens! I’ll try to make good choices. I want to be able to bounce back quickly.
10/03 …..187.0 ….. There’s the travel uptick I expected. I’m okay with it even though my body always seems to prefer staying somewhere in the 187 range, I will not stay locked in. I’m boss of this body of mine! Today will be a very carefully planned day although rain is expected all day. At least I can keep my diet on point. The great NSV yesterday is that I was in a big city and did lots of shopping and I didn’t bring home (in groceries) anything that was not in my plan! Winning!
