UGW: 175
End of 10 day challenge goal: 223

Drink a minimum of 64 oz water a day 
Swim, Circuit, Hike (5x week minimum)
 Seven days of maintenance to begin this challenge

Challenge 156: 245.4 (-1.8) - Challenge 157: 242 (-3.4) - Challenge 158: 240 (-2.0) - Challenge 159: 237 (-3.0) - Challenge 160: 235.6 (-1.4) - Challenge 161: 229.6 (-6.0) - Challenge 162: 227.6 (-2.0) Challenge 163 223.4 (-4.2)

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.

Day/Weight/Comment

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?

MFP -Round #2
(164)

I’m 62 years old, 5’4” tall and my weight goal is to lose 30 pounds by my birthday on June 6, 2022

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!

SW (starting over--May 24, 2021): 160.3

I 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
9/29 156.8 Last night I had a pretty major binge, so was expecting a gain from yesterday. Met with someone with a Hospice Agency, today. This was another tough day... but so far I'm doing well with food, today.

9/30 156.8

I’m ok with this considering the stress, once again.

Was expected & happy it's not worse. I've binged at night the last 3 days. My Dad is still in the hospital. Had very upsetting experience, yesterday, and have had several cries since then. One this morning, too. Sorry to be such a downer on here. From now on I will try to just post positive things as I don't want to focus on the negative & I hate being such a downer on this thread. So, either no comment or positive ones.

Yesterday, I had over 8500 steps & drank 40 oz of water.

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.

Round 164
September 29 - October 8, 2021
Female, 5’7”
SW: 164.7 pounds(Sept 28, 2021)
RGW: 163.2 pounds (-1.5 pounds)

Day/Weight/Comment
9/29: 164.7 - Yesterday did a Jazzercise workout (cardio and light core) and a 2 mile neighborhood walk. Logged all my food and stayed within my calorie goals (did not eat back exercise calories). I’m trying out a size M workout leggings since my size L was falling down during workouts. I’m clearly in between sizes since I feel like a bit of a sausage in the size M.
9/30: 163.8 - Jazzercise workout in my new size M leggings. Pro - I didn’t have to pull up my pants every 5 minutes. Con - the muffin top. Ate within my calories (ate some of my exercise calories back, but not all) and was heavier on the protein (for me) yesterday. The overnight loss of 0.9 pounds was a nice surprise this morning.
10/1: 164.9 - Yesterday’s Jazzercise workout couldn’t counteract a night of debauchery (1/2 a veggie calzone, chocolate cake and a brownie). I had planned my calories around two social events yesterday, but the cake and brownie at 9pm no less, weren’t my best decisions.
10/2: 164.2 - Did my first training hike for my upcoming (first ever) backpacking trip. 5.75 miles with some light elevation gains (600 ft) and light pack (13 pounds). It felt great! Although I was within all my calorie and macro goals, I felt super full after dinner (carb and fat heavy) so was surprised at the .7 pound drop. I also realize this morning that one of my food entries, chosen from the database, was just calories and no macros. Will have to continue be vigilant about which entries I use for my food diary so I don’t get any false sense of being over or under.
10/3: 163.8 - Back to where I was on 9/30. Did my workout yesterday morning and ate below my calories but was too full to eat to plan. Macros were very heavy on carbs and fats. I really don’t know how many hours I slept since I had a hard time getting comfortable to fall asleep and then had to get up in the middle of the night since I have been drinking so much water. Hate that effect.

Heck yeah I’m in!

Fourth round for me! I can do anything for 10 days!

Goals- Lose as much weight as I can! Keep to 80 net carbs/day; Pelo 2-3x/week; strength training 2-3x/week; 11,500 steps/day

MFP SW: 237.6
Round 164 SW: 211.8

9/29: 212.0 Had a great day yesterday- hit my steps, got a Pelo ride in, and finished the day at 52 net carbs. So all things considered, this tiny uptick this morning is not unexpected because it’s absolutely the monthly hormonal shift. One foot in front of the other! It’ll pass soon.
9/30: 211.8 Had a great day yesterday, especially considering I was unsure of what dinner would look like. Wound up having a salad! Finished the day with 46 net carbs, a strength training session done, and step goal achieved. On to today!
10/1: 212.4 Had a weird day yesterday. I was busy all day, literally from the time I got up to the time I went to bed, I was going nonstop. That led to undereating slightly, less water than usual, and not hitting my step goal. It is what it is though. Still stayed within my carb goal- 66 for the day. Today will be less busy and I’ve got half my food already planned out. Going camping this weekend, and I’ve learned my best method when camping is to preplan my meals, so I’m sure I’ll be fine with food. For now, I’ll continue riding out this hormonal weight shift.
10/2: 🏕 DNW Had a good day yesterday. Hit my steps, got plenty of water, stuck to my plan for my first camping meal of the weekend, and finished the day with 54 net carbs. I have today’s food all mapped out already to avoid any overeating, and plenty of walking in the forecast too.
10/3: 🏕 DNW Preplanning my food for our weekend camping trips makes things so easy. I might start doing this every other day too. I had a great day yesterday. 44 net carbs, step goal hit, and plenty of water. Tomorrow I should see the reward for sticking to my plan this weekend, even when I was soo tempted to make myself a s’mores while I was making them for the kids last night!

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 range

Just 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:

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.

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Previous days

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!
10/1 Did not post. Scale was weird and read 115 prior to my workout and then it read 116 after my workout.
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!

10/3 Celebrated my mother-in-law’s 62nd birthday today with takeout from the 99’s. It was crazy to think back to how far she has come this year. Last year around this time she was gearing up for chemo with a lot of unknowns and now today she celebrated another birthday and hopefully many more cancer free ones. She’s truly an amazing woman and I’m so blessed to have her in my life and be able to live with both her and my father in law.

I wasn’t super hungry for the takeout, so it worked out and only ate about half, but I did have a nice piece of tiramisu. It’s all about balance right? I think I’ll be having something light for dinner because I’m just kind of tired today and not in the mood to make anything fancy. Have a good night!

I got my vaccine second dose yesterday (Astrazenica) and honestly in just trying to eat wholesome to prepare my body for the shot I think I ate a little too much… and I slacked off. I think a huge part of my problem is that when I slack off I get discouraged and forget to dust myself off and get back up again.
I will weight in tomorrow however good or bad the numbers may be - dust it off and try again!
