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!!
10/11: 57.4 kg - Thanksgiving gains lol
10/12: DNW
10/13: 57.3 kg - still working through Thanksgiving gains. Started my 2 week workout challenge today!! 😊 (Writing new section on my updates for the challenge to help keep myself accountable) Have been eating leftovers from Thanksgiving, but making sure I portion my meals. Drank more water today than yesterday too as I was a bit dehydrated and woke up with a headache. I went to the post office today to deliver an Etsy order which gave me a bit of walking time during work!!
10/14: 57.5 kg - made egg noodles with chicken and cabbage broth, and miso soup for lunch. Didn't do my workout but cleaned the house instead so id say it's still a win! Also went on an afternoon walk!!
10/15: 57.4 kg - did my morning work out as soon i woke up. Gained quite a bit this week and feeling a little bummed lol

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.
10/12 - 180.6
Closer and closer.
10/13 - 180.4
Still weighing in at 180.2, but it’s lowering my running average and I know I due for a drop as my calories have been low the past two days. I’m off to one of my favorite parks for a walk with the puppy in a few minutes. It’s a beautiful day. Wishing you the same!
10/14 - 180.1
So close! Weighed in at 180 this morning with average close behind. I’m feeling much more in control, with lower calories without feeling hungry. Pup Rory and I had a lovely 2+ mile walk yesterday, which is about his limit for now, especially with the warm weather we’re (still) having. Off for another in a few minutes. Have a lovely!
10/15 - 180
The scale is a tease! But I’m hoping to leave the 180s by the end of this round. Rainy day, but I’m hoping to sneak in a walk between showers. Happy Friday!

Follow the bouncing ball. I ate within my calorie budget yesterday, even after forgetting that I stopped at the drive-through for a Culver’s mini concrete mixer. I remembered and added it right before bedtime. I thought I was rocking the tracker but it suddenly went from fantastic to just good. 😊
Drive-Through Calories (DTC’s…did I just invent a phrase?) are hard to remember and log. Used in a sentence, “DTC’s are just around the next corner, ready to ambush you..”
10/14: 207.0
I think it is safe to say I must be eating at maintenance instead of eating for loss. My current range is 205-210. It might be logging errors causing this.
10/15: 205.4
I actually got a measuring cup out this morning to measure how much cereal I wanted. This is an exaggeration, but I was reminded that “my” cup is the world’s quart.

@Nicoles0305 Definitely grains are problematic for me. We no longer keep bread, pasta or rice in the house. I even gain if I eat too many good vegetables in a day - asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower. Those are my favorite veggies. Pre-pandemic I was roasting cauliflower and broccoli for a snack (rather than eating lunch) when my DH was playing cards but too much is too much. It took me awhile to realize the veggies were an issue - that’s part of my “mantra” to wait 2-3 days to see the impact. Also, what affects me may not affect you. Experimentation. I currently aim to stay below 25g of total carbs. More recent studies show that some people are, in fact, affected by all fiber.

@_JeffreyD_ Your post reminded me of an 8 year old I once knew. His mom asked me to give him the “proper portion” of cereal. That 3/4 c looked pretty pathetic in the 3 cup bowl. He proceeded to fill the bowl to the rim. No wonder he was “plump.”5

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

Let’s do this!
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!
10/12 210.8 I’m getting so close! I just want to see 209.8 by Monday! 35 net carbs yesterday, step goal achieved, and strength training done. Now to slay today!
10/13 211.4 I’m not sure what happened here. I’m beginning to wonder if I’m cutting my carbs too low. Finished the day at 51 net carbs, pelo ride done, and step goal achieved. I think I’m going to aim for the higher end of my carb goal for the next few days and see what happens. 209 is playing hard to get!
10/14 211.6 it’s the stress, I’m sure. I’ve had a very stressful week. I stuck to my food plan- finished yesterday with 73 net carbs. I fell about 1,500 steps short on my step goal, and postponed strength training till today because of everything going on. Back on track today!
10/15 210.4 Down finally, after a much less stressful day yesterday! I changed things up and ended the day at 105 net carbs. I hit my step goal, and also rode the Pelo. I changed my routine on that too, so maybe that helped a bit too. Who knows? Our bodies are mysterious creatures at times! I’m heading into this camping weekend with a plan, and I’m determined to still see 209 before that decimal come Monday morning. I got this!

It’s really so interesting how different we can be. I’ve known for a year or more now that cheesecake makes me feel terrible. However, ice cream not nearly as much. Yet I can eat cheese like nobody’s business and not have a single issue. I really think it’s the sugar-dairy combo that is so problematic to me.
Soy affects me too. If I make something that uses more than a tbsp or two of soy sauce per serving, the scale shows it in a big way the next day.
Too much fruit in a single day can drastically slow me down, as can most refined grains. I’ve been making sourdough bread fairly regularly for more than a year now, and can eat that without issue. I suspect that’s got something to do with the natural fermentation process involved in making it. All those probiotics seem to help!
However, lately I’ve been noticing cooked cauliflower makes my stomach hurt. Specifically, the frozen riced variety, which makes me so sad. Cauliflower is a favorite of mine, in any form. But my stomach, within 5 minutes of the first bite, starts hurting something terrible. I can eat it raw with no issues though, go figure!

UGW: 175
End of 10 day challenge goal: 219
Drink a minimum of 64 oz water a day
Swim, Circuit, Hike (5x week minimum)
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) - Challenge 164 221.6 (-1.8)
10/9 - 220.4 (-1.2) What a fabulous way to start. I drank all my water and stayed under calories. This morning was Orange Theory Fitness and tomorrow is hiking. I’m almost in the teens!!
10/10 - 221.0 (-.6) Stayed within calories and drank enough water. Just a slight bump. Hoping for a loss tomorrow. Can’t wait for fall hiking today.
10/11 - 220.6 (-1.0) It was a beautiful crisp day for a hike yesterday and we did 6 miles with 1,000 ft. of elevation gain. I ate back about 60% my exercise calories. Today is no organized exercise, just lots of errands and moving around.
10/12 - 220.6 (-1.0) It’s funny how my mind plays tricks. I was so disappointed not to have lost overnight, despite staying within calories. But what I love about this challenge, is that it looks in terms of ten day cycles. We are only four days in and I’ve already lost a pound. I think I’m just really eager to get into the teens. Staying the course.
10/13 - 220.6 (-1.0) When the whoosh comes, I’m hoping it’s a good one. Swimming was wonderful yesterday. Today I’m working at a local frame shop for a friend, so no organized exercise.
10/14 219.2 (-2.4) There it is! I’m in the teens.
10/15 219.6 (-2.0) Yesterday was swimming. I had my indulgence meal so I’m expecting another bump over the next few days.7 -
@elbee1 Many prayers for your mom & dad. Also for you & hubby. Your strength during all of this is amazing!2

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 188.1) 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.
10/12 …..185.6 ….. (trend weight 187.9)Travel today. I was hoping to see a bit of a drop today since yesterday was a very good day with diet and exercise too. Especially before a day of travel and an expected bump-up tomorrow. Oh well, trusting the process. I’m glad to be tracking my trending weight again now that it’s level off to where it was. A small drop this morning was appreciated.
10/13 …..187.0 ….. (trend weight 187.8) The expected uptick after travel. Lunch was out-of-town, dinner at home was very late as I wasn’t hungry for a long time. I hope to have a good day today. My stress levels are way up. Lots of disciplinary problems with the grandson age 3. His whole life has been uprooted so I understand his frustration. However, the kicking, screaming and writhing on the floor is trying. He’s a big boy and even the two of us together cannot get him standing to dress him after bath, before he leaves, etc. I am promising myself I won’t stress eat. Dinner tonight? I dunno yet. How do I feed my diet, her hunger after work, DGS taste and what she only allows him (strict on his dyes, sugars, etc) and my son’s Autistic eating disorder where he wants all white food (usually carb laden). My house will be full again today with the reno and the one handyman’s family sitting in my kitchen all day. 7 people expected total to come in today to work. Some will arrive shortly and be here until about 9:00 or 9:30 pm. Several more will work the evening shift only and will leave by 8:30 pm. All will be here during the traditional dinner hour. I’d pull my hair out but it’s already falling out again on it’s own. Enough of a rant….sorry for that…..gonna go step on a few more small, very hard plastic and 3 dimensional transformer robots.
10/14 …..186.2 ….. (trend weight 187.6) I am down 0.8 today but still above my start weight so I have some work to do. Ugh, my daughter! I love her sweet soul to death but she made a pumpkin cheesecake from scratch last night for tonight’s dessert. I will have a piece but I’m going to work hard today to keep calories in check to allow for that extravagance. That I can do. The weakness is to not go back at 2:00 in the morning for a 2nd piece. Working on it already in my head, I promise! Hair appointment today. Being stuck in a chair to blend the grey’s will help tie up my afternoon. Someone is coming over to watch my workers so they can continue. I feel like good progress is finally being made in the reno.
10/15 …..185.6 ….. (trend weight 187. 2) Nice to see a drop. Travel today . Here comes the yo-yo.

10/15 - 147.3 - Finally some TMI happened yesterday! I guess I scared my body when I typed out softener haha Off work today so lazing around the house, trying to get things done. Broke my phone yesterday so replacement should arrive today. Hopefully early enough I can get to the Verizon store to have data transferred and services transferred before they close. Other than that, not much going on. Leftovers today, the last day before I have to toss since I made them Sunday afternoon. Upping water today - met goal yesterday but was out in the heat and sweating which I wasn't great at replenishing so I'm retaining a bit more than I'd like. At least I feel several pounds lighter and more mobile after getting that blockage out meaning I can hopefully be more mobile today in general without feeling sluggish. BF's mom's funeral is today. Not sure if I'll have phone or if he'll send pictures like he did with the viewing. If so, I'll be an emotional wreck later, I'm sure. She was so lovely.

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.
10/12 - 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
10/13 - Happy with this. I was quite bloated last night and still have some today. It's the uncomfortable, hard belly type. No proper TMI in 2 days but I also think this sudden routine change has stressed my body a tad bit. Today will be more of a challenge - outage starts and heavy work begins. Hopefully I can maintain water intake which has been quite good these past few days. Also supposed to be quite rainy today and I'll be working outside. Luckily, though, my commute this morning looks quite clear. Can't wait until Friday when I can catch up reading everyone's posts. Hope you're doing wonderful!
10/14 - No TMI for 3 days so this is not real weight gain. I don't have to wake up at a specific time tomorrow therefore don't have to worry about getting to bed on time -- will allow me to stop at the store on my way home for some assistance unless I get some movement going today. A lot more moving around yesterday doing work. Today will be some work, but not a whole lot since we knocked out most of it yesterday. Hopefully we don't have a lot of down time forcing us to sit and do nothing. Makes the day go by slower... Water has been staying on track so long as I bring a water bottle with me. I hate all the waste, but it's the only option I have right now. Will look into a smaller water cup that is a bit more portable while at the store for the next couple weeks to limit the waste. Plenty of my meal prep left over for tomorrow and Saturday. Will need to think of foods for next week (though BF will be back for dinners so at least I have that)

10/14 154.8 🙂 nightmare got worse yesterday. Yesterday, dads food came in about 2am. Jtube clogged about 5am. Had to choose either ER or let him go.., Chose ER. While there, my mom had to be rushed to ER. She’s in a different city. Different hospital. I stayed with dad while husband went to be with her.
Dads tube was cleared!!! He returned to group home at about 8:30pm
Mom not good. Non responsive. She had phizer Covid booster day before. Also has uti. So mental status could be from either. Fever can be from either.
I went to see her late about 1:30am She is admitted but no room yet.
We only got 1 hr sleep that night.
Praying and sending lots of positivity to you, mom, and dad. What an awful ordeal to have to go through.5 -
Day 3 of water retention. Yesterday's weigh in was on track, though. I drank more water than normal (128 ounces instead of 96). I'll try again today and see what happens.10 -

10/9 225.3
10/10 224.2
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!
10/13 226.4 - Again not surprising. Again snack snack snacked after another stressful day at work (3 more...). The difference between me snacking now and snacking 70 lbs ago is I choose healthier snacks, I stop when I feel satisfied and I worked out to counter it. Set another new PR on the Peloton and I'm feeling great about that. I can't wait until I can ride for longer without having to rush to work.
10/14 228.0 - Didn't work out this morning so yeah this makes sense. Really slowing down progress over the last month... kind of disappointing to be honest.
10/15 228.8 - Just going to chalk this round up as another loser. Work is killing me in every way. No energy to do anything and then stress eating/drinking. Deadline today. Refocused tonight.

October 9 - October 18, 2021
Female, 5’7”
SW: 161.6 pounds (Oct 9, 2021)
RGW: 160 (-1.6 pounds)
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.
10/12: 161.2 - Normal workout, normal eating. Trying to balance macros, but still finding it difficult.
10/13: 160.7 - It’s getting cooler here, perhaps I’m using extra calories shivering? Keeping up with the cardio and calorie goals.
10/14: 160.9 - Worked out, got a flu shot, did some baking and ate towards the higher end of my calories, but still within.
10/15: 160.7 - Beyond the normal workout and eating, expending a lot of nervous energy prepping for my first ever backpacking trip. I’m not so much concerned about my fitness level to do it, but worried about whether or not I’ll be warm enough, will I eat too many calories and sodium since the menu is mostly prepared backpacking food with a little bit of fresh vegetables and fruit. I just have to plan that a 2-day blip (if it really does turn out to be that way) is just a 2-day blip and I can get back on track to doing the things that have been working for me these last 40 days.

10/15 203.8 Feeling a little stress the second half of this week. My 4 year old children were asking for their father, a conversation that I knew was coming. They are so little, I don’t want to give them too much information but I don’t want to lie either. How do you say Daddy has gone to jail for the rest of his life? So I told them he’s gone away and I don’t know when he’ll come back... I got some big concerns and I desire to want to see him but no tears but I immediately distracted them with Disney Sing-Alongs…of course this just dredges ups so many things I do not want to even think about but I cannot avoid it forever. I am not going to use food for comfort!
