@ashleycarole86 Enjoy your Thanksgivings. At Chinese I order steamed vegetables instead of rice and my 2 favorite “mains” are General Tso’s chicken (👎breaded and fried plus sweet sauce👎) and Kung Pao chicken (a somewhat better choice) and then I drink A LOT of water to flush the sodium.6

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.

Let’s do this!
Round 5 for me.
161 SW: 222.2
EW: 221.6
162 EW: 218.6
163 EW: 211.8
164 EW: 211.6
Round 165 goals: Pelo 3x/week; strength training 3x/week; 11,500 steps/day; <75 net carbs/day; lose as much weight as I can!
Looks like this round ends on the day I go to my doc for a follow up on the weight loss progress. On 8/15 when I saw her, she suggested MFP after my spending a few years-time both before and after pregnancy- stalled out around 230-240 despite my best efforts with IF. She gave me a goal of a 5% loss between then and this next follow up. Well, I’m currently at 13.6% lost. I’m looking forward to her reaction, I won’t lie! 😁
SW: 211.6
10/9 211.8 I can’t say I’m surprised by this tiny uptick, only surprised that it isn’t more! I spent almost the entire day on my feet yesterday- and usually when I spend time on my feet in the kitchen, I get some fluid retention. It used to be multiple pounds at a time, not just this tiny 0.2. So I’ll take it! I did pretty good yesterday. Food was on point, but I didn’t get all of my steps in. I was so exhausted from the past couple of days that I just couldn’t motivate myself to do anything other than crash once I finally finished in the kitchen last night. Today I’ll hit it though!
10/10 212.4 I guess the fluid retention from spending the past couple of days mostly on my feet waited till today to show up. I had a great day yesterday- 45 net carbs and hit my step goal. But alas, I was on my feet in the kitchen decorating a cake for about 4 hours. Oh well, at least I have an explanation for it!

10/10: DNW - had Thanksgiving dinner tonight! Ate a bit of everything and didn't go for seconds as I was really full! We had two kinds of pies with vanilla ice cream for dessert. I went on a 20 mins walk before dinner! Planning to start a 2 week workout challenge. Hopefully I can keep track of exercise in these notes too. Happy Thanksgiving to any Canadians celebrating in the forum!!

Round 165 (97th for me). I need this to help keep me on track.
@QuiltingJaine-thank you for setting up the new round.
Challenge for this round is to stay on track – I've been very lax over the last few days – any loss will be a win!
Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” sometime 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/9 136.4 – 9.1 miles walked yesterday, not too bad a day food wise.
10/10 137.4 – 13.12 miles walked yesterday, good food day, guessing up bounce is still results of bad choices a few days ago. Hope that is the peak!
10/11 137 – no structured walking as travelled up 90 miles to celebrate DS's birthday, involved pizza, chicken legs, potato wedges, birthday cake etc. but no evening meal as we were not hungry after the return journey home!

**********************************************
10/9 149.0 (trend 151.4) Went out last night to a lovely new bar and grill in our little town, it uses all local ingredients and has lots of healthy options, I'm looking forward to eating there one day soon. Had a few too many drinks so woke up feeling really dehydrated which is probably why I had a loss as I was defo over calories.
10/10 150.8 (trend 151.3) Had a bit of a refeed day yesterday and didn't track calories too accurately. Enjoyed some good comfort food and lots of fruit and salad. Definitely holding onto water today but feeling a lot stronger after getting a bit weak and wibbly on low cals last week.
10/11 151.8 (151.4) Urgh, even the trend weight has gone up now. I have to remind myself that I may have over indulged this weekend but only by about 1000 above my calorie goal over the 3 days and should still be below maintenance. This is just water and tmi, surely. A few days of drinking lots of water and careful eating and I should be back on track, fingers crossed. Totm is due in a week so that's likely having an influence, gonna have to grit my teeth and stay the course.

10/11 - 150.4 - Should be the peak of the weekend gain and only down from here. Turns out, kiddos thought we had candles and cake without them when we went for my dinner so last night we had a mini celebration for me with cake and homemade almond milk ice cream (so I could indulge a tad). Kept it to a minimum and moved on. Lunch packed, water filled, coffee brewing, and plenty of activity awaiting me. Boy am I tiiiired. I woke up in the middle of the night wide awake. Hopefully that means I'll wear myself out and sleep good tonight.

Previous Day's Comments10/9 - Better control yesterday but it'll take a couple good days for the damage to show and then drop off. Went hunting this morning and got out in nature like I wanted (if I couldn't camp, that is) which included more than 30 minutes of walking, meeting my activity goal. Fam is taking me to dinner later, I requested German food so I have to be careful to not snack. I have dinner for Monday and Tuesday in the crockpot right now. Tomorrow morning before football, I'll prep things for crockpot dinner to cook Wednesday and cook up lunches for the full week. I've already gone grocery shopping for healthy options and being at work with no access to other foods besides what I bring, it'll force me to eat right.
10/10 - No hugs, its expected. Hormones, the delay of the scale for my couple days of emotional eating, a heavy birthday dinner (sodium) and couple of beers. Surprised I'm not up more. Plus, TOM came for another visit (typical when I switch my meds - Doc knows and we are monitoring, all good there) which causes bloat and weight gain. Finished cooking for this week - Monday/Wednesday I have a cajun skillet (rice, sausage, bell pepper) for lunch and a heavier potato corn chowder for dinner. For Tuesday/Thursday I have a heavier ranch chicken penne pasta for lunch and lighter crock pot salsa chicken fajitas. Grapes and clementines with a collagen micro-dose protein for a "dessert" or morning snack if need be. All of those are already input and tracked for the week. I'm under between 200-300 calories, but that saves room for my protein shake I'll have on hand should I need an extra boost. I'll be physically working in the plant all day for 4 days straight so I gave myself wiggle room to squeeze in the shake to keep me going. Good thing about being at work is that I only have access to whatever food I bring so I can't get off track. Add in being physically active all day, I hope this is what I need to drop this weekend gain and break through this plateau. Now the real challenge will be sleep and making sure I get enough water all day since I'll be moving around and away from my water cup a lot. Luckily, the plants have a fridges stocked with waters and gatorades throughout the site for us. I'll just have to keep that in mind and make sure I grab one frequently. I will also be working on my wake-up/sleep schedule and may or may not be able to post daily. I will do my best to pop in but I will be weighing daily no matter what. Worst case, I'll be back Friday!

10/10 - 265.66 is what it showed when I weighed in tonight. Had a long day at the doctor, really abnormal and bad period. The number is very discouraging but hey - my goal here is to document everything and be fully honest to you all and to myself.

Round 165 loss:
I'm sorry that the scale is not being kind to you today. Hopefully, things will get better as the week progresses and it will go back to normal or show a loss. Keep at it though, you got this!7 -
Challenge Start Weight: 73.3
10 day Goal Weight: 72kg
Ultimate Goal Weight: 53kg
Goals for this challenge period are to get 10000 steps in every day and workout with Beach Body on Demand 6 times a week.
9 73.3 Met all of my goals again yesterday. Unfortunately, I didn't get my workout in. I am finding it very hard to find the motivation to do it. I need to find a time in the day that works for me.
10 73.9 This was a bit expected. Did some late snacking on popcorn due to being up and out later than expected. Ended up eating some of my exercise calories back due to unexpected events happening during the day and having to make the best choices I could on the fly. Considering I didn't track my food until I got home around 10pm, I think I did alright for the day. I did get a nice long hike in yesterday, so definitely met my step goal.
11 73.3 Back to where it should be. Probably would have been lower, but I made the mistake of eating a slice of Sbarro pizza without looking up the calories first. My lunch ended up being 1000 calories, which is basically all of my days calories!! Luckily, I had only a small, light breakfast, and then only had some salad for dinner with a tzatziki dressing. Managed to com in just a bit over my allowed calories for the day, but made up for the overage with 177000 steps, and some cleaning and a bit of core work. I will not eat anything again (at least anything like that) with out logging it first!

I was actually surprised I stayed about the same this morning because I just did a quick pilates class instead of a Peloton ride. I'm now 11 lbs away from my weight at college graduation. So ready to get there and then beat that!

10/9 205.2 Starting at the lowest weight I've been all year. Hope to at least stay at this new normal, or to get a bit below it this round. 202 will mark my exit from obesity to overweight hood, so that's a goal for this year, if not this month, or even this round. We'll see how it goes. Good luck to you all this round!
10/10 205 staying the course
10/11 204 upon an early awakening, I was 205.2. I went back to sleep and found myself down a pound! Apparently sleep is magical!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/9 / 204.4 / Did well with my first day at my dad's yesterday. I love being with people who you feel safe with (meaning he is completely supportive and doesn't judge my choices or try to food push). A bit harder to get my normal exercise in here but that's okay - just scaling back the food accordingly. Happy to see this lower weight wasn't just a fluke yesterday!
10/10 / 206.4 / My dad's town has two take-out options and the favorite when we're here is always Chinese. I tried to order as best I could and eat reasonably but you can't stay away from the sodium gain afterwards. We are going to Thanksgiving dinner 1 of 2 today.
10/11 / 206 / Had good control during Thanksgiving dinner #1 yesterday. One more to get through today and then I'm back on the road tomorrow heading for home. A bit out of my exercise routine while traveling which is fine but it will feel good to get back to it.

10/09 - 181.6
Too much and too salty — pizza! Leftovers today, but I’ll try to watch everything else. I’ve decided to record just my running average weight for a while — it’s a more consistent record of where I am. Happy Saturday!
10/10 - 181.2
Well, that was a surprise! Weighed in at 180.2 this morning, so weight and running average both the lowest they’ve been in well over a year. I figured I’d be up with higher calories, but I was just plain hungry yesterday, so I ate. Another reminder of the weird vicissitudes of weight management.
10/11 - 181
Weight stayed the same, average trending down, despite higher calories the past 3 days. I won’t count on that, but it confirms that it’s good sometimes to break from the very low count. Anyway, aiming lower (~1200) the next few days. I’ve been in the 180s since Jan 2020 (up from 130 in Sept 2018–horrifying!) and I’d really like to get out of the 80s to feel I’m really on my way back down.

Goal weight for this round: Maintaining 116/117 or dropping a little bit
Previous days10/9 Not sure what my weight was because I didn’t have my glasses on, so it was fuzzy…I think it might have said 120 which is an OH NO number. WAY too much salt this week for me. I managed to walk the lake with my friend this morning which is like 3 miles then we hit the farmer’s market afterwards where I was able to resist buying anything. I decided last night that I need to start having “take out” food alternatives for myself in the freezer for when my husband wants takeout and I don’t want to cook for myself. I’ve worked so hard the past almost two years to let it slip now. So at least I can control the number of calories I’m eating that way versus the unknown with the takeout. I was even able to unintentionally fast until at least 1 today because I didn’t eat before my walk and didn’t get anything at the market. Then afterwards I had to return something to the camping store… where I proceeded to browse and buy myself a new day pack, some cool weather running shirts, a pair of cold weather leggings, and compression socks (going to try them for during the day while I use my standing desk). I got the compression socks because in the mornings my legs a little tired after I run but I still want to use the standing desk, so I’m going to see if the compression socks help at all with feeling like I just want to elevate my legs. I’m not sure they’ll help but it’s worth a shot.10/11 117.6 pre-workout 116.2 post work out this morning. Goodbye water retention! I have the day off today, so I went for a run and ended up doing 5 miles and then did my strength workout afterward. I did the strength workout after because with my day off, I knew I wouldn’t want to do the workout in the middle of that day like I do when I’m working. I also made some major strength gains in my chin-ups, so that was a really good feeling. The last time I did chin-ups I was doing 3 sets of 4-6. This morning I was able to do 8 for my first set and then 6 and 4. So, that was an awesome non-scale victory.
10/10 118.2 Dropped some water weight which is good. I would still like to get back to 115/116 over the next month or so to be in more of my happy place. I thought I hit the post button last night but I guess I forgot. Oops! Not sure what’s on the agenda for today but looking forward to eating some healthy food. I made a frittata yesterday with leeks, tomatoes, and cheddar cheese. So that’ll definitely be part of my first meal today along with a protein shake. I’m going to attempt some sort of meal planning today as well even though I don’t know what produce I’ll be getting with our CSA tomorrow. At least I can plan the protein portion of our meals.
Breakfast so far has been a protein shake with Designer Whey vanilla blended with a pear, peanut butter, inulin to keep my belly happy, cinnamon, and water clocking in at 489 calories. So yummy! Lunch will be an egg salad sandwich and dinner will be soup with broth that has been cooking in the croc pot overnight with chicken bones from our meat CSA.
Happy Monday all!

10/08 …..185.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
10/09 …..184.0 ….. Wow! Is this ever a crazy wild ride! Up & Down without changing much. TMI helps. Watching sodium a bit more. I am monitoring which foods affect me in a negative way-also the one’s that help the most. Tough to do with so many physical variables but It’s time I get to know me on a more personal level. Good luck everyone as we all find our way. Thank you @quiltingjane for continuing this challenge.
10/10 …..185.4 ….. After a late night yogurt that I didn’t plan for, I was over by about 100 calories. My daughter and DGS moved back in late last night after a fight at home. This time she even brought some furniture so it looks serious. She brought Chinese food which we split. Maybe water retention today too?
10/11 …..185.6 ….. (trend weight 188.1) My daughter brought in over $150.00 worth of Halloween Candy she had at home. OMGosh. I’m in trouble! Doing my best but my willpower is not the greatest. It’s like me being in a restaurant where I actually have to practice restraint, and we all know I haven’t mastered that skill yet. Oh Boy! She bought the candy for a costume Halloween party she was going to have which is now cancelled due to her current circumstances. I will try hard to do good today.
