Day/Weight/Comment
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 188.0) 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.

Is there anywhere you could donate the candy so you could get at least a good chunk of it out of the house? Having that much candy around would be so so dangerous for me!5 -
@playhardkf2017
It's not mine to decide I have an idea. My daughter is at work today so I am going to take the entire huge basket upstairs where she sleeps. It's still in the house, but perhaps out-of-site, out-of-mind will work! I mean, when it comes to Reeses ...... Hopefully this will help! I also will talk to her about it.7 -

@deepwoodslady I’m sorry to say that she is not doing ANYONE any favors by having that much candy. That is POISON to you and genetically could be poison to her and your grandchildren. NO ONE needs that sugar. She needs to get rid of it! Yes, I am angry that she would bring this to your house knowing it is a problem for you both mentally and physically. Diabetes is not something to be taken lightly! Off my soapbox now! And I DO THINK IT IS YOURS TO DECIDE!7

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.

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. If I hit each of these, the weight loss will follow!
Next short-term goal:
162....161....160............159.x
SW (10/8): 160.4
10/09: 160.8
10/10: 160.3
10/11: 159.6
Hit my next short-term goal! I am so happy to be back into the 150's!! Yesterday, while watching football games, I was craving everything that had carbs/salt or sugar. I don't have anything in the house that I can binge on so almost made bread. I know how that would have ended - me eating half a loaf. So, I ate an apple and cheese. It worked. I always forget that trying something healthier will almost always work to subside the cravings just enough to move on.
And, if I had given in, I most likely would have gained from water weight and may not have dropped to the 150's this morning,
And, if the old me, the cycle would have started: binge, get discouraged, binge some more, feel like I blew "diet," repeat.
And, lastly, every time I stop myself from reverting back to old habits, it just keeps building my confidence that I CAN DO IT THIS TIME!!

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!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/9: 161.6 - Yesterday hiked 6.45 miles with ~15 pound backpack in prep for backpacking trip. Unfortunately, didn’t get to eat anything until 3:30 pm, so only one meal plus a snack. Tried to make it close to my calorie goals and macros.
10/10: 161.8 - Mostly same routine, but went for an extra walk to the grocery store (3 mi. RT). Ate a bit more than normal but still within calories.
10/11: 162.3 - Was it the homemade pizza? 1 hour of cardio and light weights and ate w/in calories.

@playhardkf2017 @deepwoodslady
Ditto! There would be NO WAY I could stop myself if it's in the house. And, if you're like me, your willpower won't be enough once you start eating it because eating sugar once, just brings on more cravings for sugar, and the cycle begins. I sure hope you can donate it or do something with it. Good luck!8 -

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.

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.
10/11 - 265, I still feel like crap; worst period ever and fibroids got bigger. If anyone has any recommendations regarding fibroids please let me know. I’m logging every day because the race isn’t for the swift it for those who endure to the end.

Round 5 for me.

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!
10/11 211.4 There we go! Great day yesterday, even with a family dinner with out-of-town family that involved spaghetti and dessert. I took my own spaghetti squash along to eat in place of the regular pasta, and only had very small portions of dessert. Did go over my carb goal-88 net total all day- but came home, got my steps in, and got myself on the Pelo for 45 minutes! I’ve been feeling a little slacking on the weight loss lately, so today I’m recommitting to myself. I’m ready to rock this week!

11/10. . . 144.0 (-0.4) Celebrated (CN) Thanksgiving by adopting 3 roosters today! Two are 18-month old silkies and I've named them Roul and Cedric and the third is a young Easter egger and is not yet named. None of my other 3 roosters seems very excited about the new boys on the block, possibly because the new boys are quite small and not spoiling for a fight (new boys are in a pen inside the poultry house so that everybody can get acquainted through a fence first!) Treats all around for the poultry here (corn on the cob, pumpkin, grapes) today to celebrate the day. New lads didn't know what to do with corn on the cob but quickly caught on after watching the others have a go.

Had a wonderful BBQ yesterday which was very nice. My first one in 2 years!! I was proud of myself. I had a premier protein shake that morning late around 11:00 am and enjoyed myself in moderation and managed not to gain weight.
10/11 386.4
Monday is my official weigh-in day. I lost 4.4 lbs. since last Monday.
I am going to keep that as my weigh-in day in case I go back to WW. Yesterday was ok, maybe I gained from Saturday, and I did have some high sodium, but I was not over calories, so I am good. Going to get in a workout today. Hope all is well. Stay safe Everyone.

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us. 
*One of my major goals is to get my BMI under 40 (260 weight) so I can have surgery on my knees *[color]10 -

Is there anywhere you could donate the candy so you could get at least a good chunk of it out of the house? Having that much candy around would be so so dangerous for me!
@playhardkf2017 @deepwoodslady
Ditto! There would be NO WAY I could stop myself if it's in the house. And, if you're like me, your willpower won't be enough once you start eating it because eating sugar once, just brings on more cravings for sugar, and the cycle begins. I sure hope you can donate it or do something with it. Good luck!
@fmfdfa2020 and @quiltingjaine
I took all that candy upstairs to her room and avoided the temptation. I wouldn't call it willpower though. I was just too busy to go up & down to get it, in truth. Tonight when she got home from work, I asked her the plans for all that candy. Not a good idea in the house of two diabetics. She said she is still going to make the goodie bags for all the kids that had been invited and hand deliver them to all their houses. Anything left she said she would take to work and put on the break table in a nice halloween bowl. I'm relieved. I just hope she does it quickly. My plan until then: I have 2 large bars of dark chocolate. One is 70% cocoa and the other is 90% cocoa. If I must have something sweet, that's my two choices. I am used to only eating one square to minimize the calories and carbs. That is a good habit I'm glad I formed when doing strictly Keto. It has saved me many times!

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.

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!
10/12 137 – 9.53 miles walked yesterday, some unwise food choices means that I was 12 calories over, but could have been worse!

**********************************************
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.
10/12 152.2 (trend 151.5) Well. I seem to be responding to my weight shooting up by eating more and losing all self restraint. I don't want to go any further with this self sabotage but for some reason I can't stop it. I NEED to get my drive back before all my hard work unravels. Went out for a family meal last night as my daughter has been asking for ages, it's so hard to find healthy choices in some places. I didn't want a plain salad with chicken breast so the next best thing was a veggy lasagne with salad but there was sooo much cheese on it. Told myself I'd leave the garlic bread but I didn't. Then when I got home I got the munchies and ate crackers and cereal bars. Think I need to do a reset to get rid of these cravings.

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.

Challenge Start Weight: 73.4
10 day Goal Weight: 72kg
Ultimate Goal Weight: 53kg
Goals for this challenge period are to get 10000 steps in every day and workout 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!
12 72.7 I actually jogged for the first time in years yesterday! It was amazing. C25K day 1 complete

10/12 - 147.2 - Yay, a drop from yesterday! Back on track (: Yesterday was a whole lot of sitting around since we had an alert that stopped all non-essential maintenance work giving us nothing to do. I was worried the little bit of activity paired with me being unusually hungry (I had my protein shake) would do me in. Maybe it did keep me from dropping more, but it is still a big drop and I'm quite alright. Didn't expect it all gone in one day

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!
10/11 - 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.

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.

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?!

10/11 224.7 - So clearly my body just wanted to hang onto weight during the last round and then immediately when the round ends, just drop it all. 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!
10/12 226.6 - A bump up but not surprised honestly. Between the stress at work with the tax deadline on Friday and eating so late after getting home late and then being so tired I can't work out as hard as I want to... yeah this isn't a surprise. Had a big piece of meatloaf and potatoes last night because I NEEDED COMFORT. Woke up this morning and set a new 20 minute PR on the Peloton and wish I could've done more but back to work!
