Round 166 (98th 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 get back on track – want to drop a few pounds by the start of December as I feel more comfy in a dress I want to wear for Peaky Blinders night – 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.

**********************************************
10/19 148.4 (trend 149.9) I hit last round's goal weight today so I'm pleased about that, also got my trend weight below 150 so have changed my UGW trend to my healthy weight BMI, it seems like such a long way off but it's only 7.2lbs away, totally doable!
I had a terrible night's sleep, anxiety and knowing I have a busy day ahead today working with my plumber and electrician kept me awake until 5am, then my alarm went off at 6.30... don't know how I'm gonna get through today without lots of sugar but I'll do my best!
Goal weight for this round is 10.5St (147lbs) which is the weight I was when I met my husband 9.5 years ago.
10/20 148.4 (trend 149.7) Feeling much brighter today after a good sleep. I need to really focus on drinking more water and getting more nutrients as I've been relying too much on snacky foods like deli meats, crackers and cheese and not having enough vitamins, and I've been drinking too much coffee. Need to R&R, rest and rehydrate, rather than depending on stimulants and fatty salty food to keep my energy up.150 cals over yesterday but it was a long busy day.
10/21 147.4 (trend 149.4) Excited to see 147 with a 1lb drop over night, it feels like I've been very slowly creeping down for ages so to get a big drop is great. I hope it sticks! Also my BMI is 25.8 so I'm in close range of a healthy weight, not too far now! Still my trend weight has to catch up, so I'm not getting complacent. Had a huge chicken salad last night, first time I've had any proper volume in my stomach for several days, felt good!
10/22 147.2 (trend 149.1) I didn't deserve this loss today as I went out last night and had beers, cheesy chips and a big cookie, hopefully it doesn't catch me up tomorrow! Not a very healthy day but I'm not going to dwell on it.
10/23 149.4 (trend 149.2) Yikes! I ate a lot yesterday, all sensible choices but at maintenance calories. Had indigestion all night and still feeling bloated today so I'm not really surprised at this. Going to water fast for most of the day to try and flush this through.
10/24 148.2 (trend 149.0) Still a bit bloated but glad to see this dropping back down quickly. Excited that my trend weight is coming down and I'm leaving 150lbs in the distance! Fasted until about 5pm then had chicken salad and a cereal bar. Spent most of the day paint stripping which was weirdly satisfying and kept me active. Today I need to seal the walls and ceiling with a pva glue solution ready for the plasterers to come and do their magic, can't wait!

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?!

This is bad situation. And I need to pay bills & submit LTC claims. I’m behind in paperwork & covered in it. Disorganized. Etc. almost got fired a few days ago due to having to take so much time off from work. Stressful job, stressful life still. Both parents at once is rough. I don’t know what I’m doing. Trying…

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!
There is no going back! NOT THIS TIME!7 -

¤Looking back on my weight loss history, I cycled from 196lbs to 199lbs for about 6 rounds, even touching 200lbs again before dropping to the 180's.

▪Day1▪︎ Tu•10/19- ¤195.8 (Mo•10/18- 1pm, 7pm;15hrs) 40g carbs; Fiber•10g; 80ozs water.
Up a little from end weight. I'm happy to see this number on the 1st day of this round. It is proven in my weight loss history, that I touch every tenth of a pound before dropping a full one pound of weight and settling there. This is the last one for 195. Even if I revisit any of the tenths this round, I know I'm close to seeing 194 soon. I've already touched 194.8 last round. Point 6, 4 and 2 here I come😀

10/19 - 218 (-.6) I changed my starting weight to what I weighed when I started this journey, a month before I started logging everything on MFP and, I decided to reduce my goal weight to one more in line with exactly where I’d love to be . When I first started, I didn’t really believe I could do this. I’m starting to believe and am almost halfway there.
10/20 - 218.4 (-.2) Yesterday I swam 1350 yards. It took a bit longer than my usual hour workout, but I felt good so I kept going. My longest swim yet. Today is no organized exercise, just a busy day. I need to get back into my art studio and get painting. Hopefully I’ll have some time tonight.
10/21 - 217.6 (-1.0) A good day yesterday staying within calories goals. I didn’t drink enough water, so I need to do better. Hoping to swim today if I can fit it in between scheduled meetings.
10/22 - 218.0 (-.6) Bouncing around a little. Swimming was great. I usually eat back about half of my calories. Yesterday, it was most of them. I didn’t get all my water in for the second day in a row. Today is my indulgence meal so there may be a bigger bounce over the next few days. It always drops off fairly quickly.
10/23 - 220.2 (+1.6) Oops! I had pizza for my indulgence meal and I’m guessing this bump is from all the salt. But, no worries, it will drop in the next few days and I’ll be back on track. I eat one indulgence meal a week and it’s really helped me. I know I only have to wait a few days to eat something I might be craving so it’s easier to stay on plan. Luckily I have five days left in this challenge to lose the water weight and then some.
10/24 219.2 (+.6) While I know this bouncing is part of the journey, it scares me every time. At least I’m a bit closer to getting off this water weight. Hiking today with my sister and dogs. Brrr! It’s going to be cold when we start.11 -
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?!

Etc. almost got fired a few days ago due to having to take so much time off from work. Stressful job, stressful life still. Both parents at once is rough. I don’t know what I’m doing. Trying…

10/24 - 147.2 - Didn't weight yesterday because I had just chugged some water before I got the chance to weigh in. Today's uptick is brought to you by working at the land building a deer stand. It was fun, but it was definitely a struggle to keep up with water. Got a lot of steps in, though! Today should be a lazy football day. Early to bed since I have to commute again this week. Will focus on my water and better foods. Trying to fast as long as I can as well.

Previous Day's Comments10/19 - Bit of an uptick from a hectic evening stuffing my face so I could jump in the shower and get to bed in a timely manner. BF should be home about the same time as me tonight. I have dinner stuff made up, not sure if he'll eat it or not. We shall see. Wasn't overly hungry yesterday at lunch so only ate half. Dinner wasn't super large, either. Today I'll skip the breakfast burrito if they bring them, but I had to try yesterday since they said they were good. Water is good. Could've drank more yesterday but I was definitely running around a bit more unexpectedly. Lots of steps in, though! Today will likely be more of the same, steps wise. Will be sure to keep more water handy
10/20 - Shocked to be down. BF made it home safe last night. He didn't want my salmon so he made venison tenderloin with rice and steamed veggies (bringing salmon for lunch instead). Didn't eat until 8pm and I didn't go to bed until 9. Short night of sleep for me, but good to spend some time with him after 2 weeks. Apparently I'm in trouble with his dad because I couldn't make it up there. Unfortunately with outage work and us not being legally married, I don't get bereavement for his family and I couldn't take vacation time. I think he understood, but he hasn't met me and I think he's afraid he won't get to. BF doesn't have PTO left for this year so I think we may make a trip next year? We shall see. Another day of walking yesterday, though not as many steps since we did most of the work Monday (11000 vs 14000). Today we have to monitor contractors doing work and have 2 little tasks at hand to get done. Other than that, not much. Going to be a long 2 days for me since even the smallest tasks I'm not authorized to assist with (shadowing electricians... I'd rather not be accidentally shocked anyway). Days are longer when you're not doing much to pass time. Oh well. Keeping up with water well enough, which is good and keeps me making walking trips to the office haha!
10/21 - This is a false weight. Just as I came in to eat lunch, I was notified of another death in the family. BF's ex-FIL passed yesterday morning. It was a gut punch and I immediately lost my appetite and didn't eat anything. Had a nice filling dinner of homemade shrimp and crawfish etouffee made by Fam who came to say hello to us for a few minutes, though. Slept like a rock last night, I guess I was more tired than I thought because I fell asleep so quickly and didn't really move. I know I woke up a few times to roll over and deal with the dog stealing blankets, but I don't remember it like I normally would. Hopefully they're ready today to finish up outage, otherwise electricians have no more work and it'll be a long boring day. At least it's my Friday
10/22 - Little tick up as I ate more yesterday and dinner had some sodium. Over my minimum calorie goal by 200, but according to fitbit, I definitely was under maintenance by 1,000. Talked with doc about my meds and TOM coming for frequent long visits -- I think this week my body settled a bit more into it so we are giving a tad more time to see if I backtrack - if so, she'll adjust. If not, I'll continue on, nothing seems to be impacting me negatively. Yay! Not much else going on. Will take some time to catch up on everyone later!

I had a bit of a snack fest last night, but am still trending down. Aiming to do better today!

Little by little by little—that’s the way we win the game! Off for a walk, hoping to beat the rain that’s supposed to settle in for a couple of days.

SW:79kg (12st 6lb) Started today
GW: 64kg (10st 1lb)
Day/Weight/Comment
10/19: 79kg. I lost 2.5 stone a few years back but a divorce, house move and then Covid misery has seen me put it all back on again. My indigestion is bad, my joints ache and I feel sluggish and grumpy. All things I know are improved with a better diet and more exercise so back to MFP I go!
10/20: 78kg (12st 4lb). It's always easy for week 1!!
10/21: 77kg (12st 2lb). Indigestion is still playing up but have made careful food choices and made the conscious effort to walk just that bit further on my dog walks. Am well aware that this is all water loss and the hard work starts now to keep the scales moving down.
10/22 77kg (12st 2lb)
10/23 76kg (12st). The indigestion is starting to improve although I still feel bloated and yucky. Going in to town today and the thought of trying to squeeze myself into my jeans makes me very uncomfortable. Think I’ll stick with my leggings for another half a stone or so
10/24 76kg (12st). Had a lovely long walk yesterday. 20,000 steps. Also bought 2 new tops that fit and make me feel great. Had another long walk today. 14,000 steps. The weather is very chilly but it was good to be out!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/19: -182.0 had a work lunch but ate too much then felt guilty the rest of the day. Didn’t bike a lot either just a short 11K commute. Oh well. First time in a month I’m so off and unorganized with food.
10/20: -183.0 was so tired yesterday:( went for a short ride and had to turn around. Also the wind was strong and cold. Food choices weren’t good either. Hope for a better day today.
10/21: - 183.0 great day! 40 K ride with a friend. It was nice.
10/22: -182.8 did a 25k commute ride to the my doctor’s Office. And food was almost under control… had some chips in the evening and felt a bit guilty.
10/23: - 181.6 had the flu shot and been napping all day. Didn’t feel well. But managed to cook enough for two weeks.
10/24: - 181.4 feeling better today

Day/Weight/Comment
10/19: 224.7 - Down is down right? I've been feeling like my loss has been slowing down, and it has, but I'm still on about a 12 lbs per month pace since the beginning. It's just that the past month has been about 10 lbs so it seems a lot slower. Anyway, my cardio is getting to be better than ever which is honestly all I wanted. 8 months ago I was on supplemental O2 24/7 after COVID pneumonia, so to now say my cardio is better than when I was a high school athlete really makes me appreciate the work I've put in. Long blurb but just a thought I had this morning.
10/20: 224.7 - Hey not up is good! I gotta stop hitting the snooze button in the morning. It takes away precious workout minutes. I want to workout at least 15-20 minutes longer than the 30 minute ride I do.
10/21: 224.0 - The scale I usually use said 222.2 but I don't trust a 2.5 lbs swing when the secondary scale says a .7 lbs swing. If it's that low tomorrow, I'll go with that. Didn't do 45-50 minutes on the bike as planned, but did 40 and my legs are dead. Stretching all day so I can go again tomorrow. I wanted to be under 224 by 10/25 4 days to get there!
10/22: 221.6 - Alright both scales were in agreement with this so I'll absolutely take it! I'm keeping the pace I wanted to be under 200 by Christmas!
10/23: 220.5
10/24: 220.0 - I rarely post on weekends but this was something to get excited about! So close to 80 lbs down. So close to being in the teens. This week is going to be exciting (hopefully). Work hard and push through plateaus and you are rewarded big on the other side! Going to see Hamilton tonight and wearing some new, smaller dress clothes. So excited!
