Day, Weight, Comment
Previous days :
10/19 73.5 (+0.1kg) 162.0 (+0.2lbs) Kept my carbs under 20gr, walked to and from the office which is 8km total. Not sure where the gains are coming from but I'm guessing I'm putting back on the muscles I lost while I was in the wheelchair. My clothes don't fit any different but there's certainly more muscles in my legs where they had totally disappeared. The walking is going so well I might even try running (or hobbling along lol) Big day for my father today, we've got an appointment this afternoon where they're going to tell us the grading of the cancer and the proposed treatment. I'm quite conflicted with all this, my father is not the nicest of persons and my adolescence was pretty awful, a lot of my food issues are to do with him, so becoming his sole caregiver is a well of contradictory emotions. I'm trying not to compensate with food as I did as a teenager.
10/20 73.1kg (-0.4kg) 161.1 (-0.9 lbs) Pretty happy with that, I think all the walking is paying off, I walked again the 8km yesterday and I'm doing some yoga morning and evening for stretching. For Dad, they're opting for the chimio/radiotherapy combination and they're reasonably optimistic. They're calling it a curative treatment compared to a palliative treatment. Nothing special planned
10/21 73.1 kg or 161.1 lbs (no change). Yesterday was a pretty good day all over. Walked the 8km plus another 1.5km during lunch. I thought I'd go out for a walk this afternoon but it's pouring down, so I'll just work and maybe leave the office early for a longer walk back if the weather improves. Food is ok, I'm working long hours and running around quite a bit, but evenings are harder, the fridge is just there and being able to nibble is hard to resist!
10/22 : 73.1 kg or 161.1 lbs. No change. I was good all day, did my 8km walk but when I arrived home I had a total of 15 mins to eat, get changed and leave to get my dad to the doctors so I ended up throwing a frozen meal in the microwave. Definitely not keto or even anywhere near low carb.. and I thoroughly enjoyed it... potatoes in cheese sauce
(I was still wayyyy under calories which helped feel less guilty lol). So today is another day, I just did my yoga this morning then physiotherapy. As I'm working from home there won't be any walking but I think I need a day off. I've got to be at 8 different places in the space of 6 hours, it's going to be one of those days. I don't think food will be any good, there's not enough in the fridge and the supermarket isn't one of those 8 places I need to be at 
Weekend Recap
10/23 161.1 lbs Full day of walking around shops, 14.000 steps
10/24 161.1 lbs Couch 2 5 k 1st day
10/25 162.3, no idea where that gain came from. Yesterday I did the 1st run of the C25k app and I was hungry afterwards but had grilled cod filet and broccoli for lunch with a Greek yogurt as desert. Dinner was some tofu and a yogurt as I wasn't really that hungry. That was it for the day. I was so pleased I could try running with my ankle, the physiotherapist gave me the go aheadI'm not sure I'll have time to do any exercise this week but next week I'm visiting family in England for the 1st time since the start of the pandemic, I'll have a week rest and I plan on bringing my exercise gear

I ate a bit too much yesterday, but all healthy food, so I won’t cry about it.

Back on track, weight and average merged again. It’s a beautiful fall morning, so I’m off for a long walk with the pup.

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.

Rain rain rain. Off to look at flooring — we’re finally going to get rid of the crappy old carpet that came with the house. Whee!

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.

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.
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.
10/25 - 218 (-.6) Our hike yesterday was chilly, but we did 3 miles. The weight is coming back down. What a relief. I’ll focus on water and eating under my calorie level today. No organized exercise on my busy schedule.9 -

Day/Weight/Comment
10/18 …..185.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
10/19 …..186.6 ….. [/color=fblue (trend weight 186.9) Not such a great start to this round. Meals were great yesterday. Movement very little due to doctor appointment. Also friends and well-wishers stopping by before my surgery Friday one with two types of very unique homemade cookies, another with a crème pie. Another with apple bread lightly glazed. Reno folks were here too. Some good progress was made on that front in the landscaping department. I shared all the goodies with the workers so there is not too much left today. I’m going to try for an excellent day today. It is supposed to be a beautiful day for this time of year in my neck of the woods. Perhaps some yard walking since I won’t be able to leave. I live on a hill so there are lots of opportunities to walk steep.
10/20 …..185.0 ….. (trend weight 186.8) I got a bad report from two EKG’s they did for pre-op. It appears the left side of my heart is not flowing blood smoothly like the right. There are delays, hiccups, sputters etc that may indicate a blockage. They will talk to a cardiologist to get the EKG’s looked at (they tried it twice) to make sure I’m okay for surgery but it should be okay because they will not be using a ventilator. When I originally did my Chemo, they said that one of my medication bags held a chemo med that could cause left ventricle problems in the future. So here I am….. I think there will be a cardiologist in my future unfortunately. So far I have not heard that this will stop my current surgery so I will spend tonight packing and I’ll be leaving in tomorrow. I’ll be back on Saturday night. I use a home PC for myfitnesspal so I don’t know if I will be able to check in or not. I will certainly try. I will record my weight in the morning before I leave. I feel okay about this surgery, just not okay about the new info on the heart!
10/21 …..185.2 ….. (trend weight 186.6) A good day yesterday but a bit too much bread with the apple bread I had for a snack with black coffee. I am leaving today for my surgery in the morning. Thanks to everyone for the well-wishes, the prayers and the good vibes. I will check in when I can. Keep going everyone!
10/22 …..188.2 ….. (trend weight 186.8) Surgery was almost cancelled as my glucose was at 366 Fasting that morning. They pulled in a total of 5 anesthesiologists to confer. To give me an insulin shot (which I don’t normally take, just pills) would constitute the start of a “treatment plan”. Living 4 hours away and without having planned this, they did not want to start that as it would mean they would have to start following up with appointments etc. They finally got special permission if I was put into twilight but not to the point of sleeping. Lidocain was used to numb which did not work. I felt all 4 cuts and removal (which was actually pretty quick). But it hurt like Haides. Awake, I told them I was feeling every bit of the pain. They re-numbed me for the stitches. I considered it all my own fault because they had to so lightly use everything for my surgery. I didn’t eat healthy on the way down and could probably have prepared better. I think I am already beginning to heal, it is itching like heck but still very swollen. I haven’t actually seen it yet as it’s not time to take off the bandages. I’ll closely monitor my healing over the next few days due to the high glucose problem which greatly affects healing. The stitches on the interior will dissolve by themselves. I’m feeling pretty good overall but just a bit wobbly. Now, we wait for pathology which I feel very good about since they had already removed a lot of it and it came up clear. Taking the rest out is a precaution and I feel like it will test okay too. Thanks again to all the wonderful wishes and comments. It’s nice to have the great support that MFP offers in every area. Hopefully this constitutes that the whole matter is OVER! I missed you all.
10/23 …..187.0 ….. (trend weight 186.9) Weight down by a good amount today. Thank you TMI. I still need to get down below 185.6 to make goal. That is about 1 ½ pounds and I don’t know that it’s possible, especially after this initial drop. However, I’ll take anything I can get. The travel and medical are over for right now, it’s time to take advantage of the moments!

I'm guessing that the scale didn't reset this morning, the other scale said 221.2
@schmoyew I takes everything I've got to keep one scale happy. I don't know how you manage two!
Lol it's because of my trust issues. I'm an accountant so I audit my scales to make sure they're not deceiving me. Some days they both say the same number, some days I think they each pull numbers out of a hat, I swear.8 -
@Elbee1 I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you will find comfort knowing he is in God's hands now. Also in the fact that you were there for him as much as you could be as his journey came to a close. I pray for peace for you and your family and I am keeping you in my prayers.6

Round 166 (my third)
October 19 - October 28, 2021
Female, 5’7”
SW: 161.2 pounds (Oct 18, 2021, EO Round 165)
RGW: 159.5 (-1.7 pounds) - which would take me out of the “overweight” BMI to “healthy” BMI
Day/Weight/Comment
10/19: 159.0 - What? Was this a magical whoosh? Yesterday’s weight was disappointing and could be chalked up to several high-sodium meals in a row. I guess being back home, drinking a normal amount of water and eating our usual foods helped flush things out. I’m sure there will be an uptick tomorrow, but I’ll enjoy being at a so called “healthy” BMI for the day.
10/20: 158.7 - Surprised and pleased, but I’ll take it. I’ve upped my move goals on my Apple Watch a tiny bit from 550 calories to 600 calories this week as well as played around with my macros yesterday (C-50%, P-30%, F-20%) and started tracking my potassium in addition to sodium. I’m not sure I’ll hit my macros as I was having enough trouble getting to the protein % when it was lower. For right now, I’ll use it more to guide than to stress out about.
10/21: 159.4 - Yesterday was another day of 4 hrs in the car. Did my workout in the morning. In logging my food, my eyes were opened as to how high in sodium shrimp is even before adding any spices or marinades.
10/22: 158.7 - Hubby’s birthday yesterday so planned for the chocolate cake and red wine. Stayed within calories but macros definitely skewed fat and carbs.
10/23: 159.2 - Went out to dinner last night for the official celebration of hubby’s b-day. Delicious tapas, but I’m still thirsty from the sodium. I was a bit overwhelmed with the thought of trying to estimate the calories of the variety of small plates that we ordered and portions, etc. that I just did a quick add of 1000 calories. First time I’ve done that - it feels a little like cheating. Did a late workout before getting ready to go out to make sure there would at least be some calorie room for whatever was to come.
10/24: 159.0 - Slow and steady. Back to where I was at the beginning of the round.
10/25: 159.0 - Same ‘ol, same ‘ol.

@Elbee1
I am so sorry to hear your Dad passed away. Thinking of you and your family during this so very difficult time.8 -
Thank you @quiltingjaine for another round!
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:
159....158....157....156....155.X....
SW (10/18): 159.7
10/19: 159.8
10/20: 159.7
10/21: 159.7
10/22: 159.6
10/23: 159.4
10/24: 159.3
10/25: 159.3 - I'm going to be away the next 3 days of this round and the first 2 of the next. I'm not worried about my ending or starting weight because I'm shooting for my next short-term goal of 155.x. So as long as I'm losing and heading toward that goal, I'm good. Good luck on finishing this round strong!

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
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!12 -

Goal weight for this round: Maintaining 116/117 or dropping a little bit
Previous days10/19 116.6 post run Did not post, the day got away from me.10/25 118.something didn’t have my glasses on when I weighed so it was hard to see it…maybe I did that on purpose? Ran 5 miles this morning and did my strength training during my lunch hour. It was a rather rainy morning and I realized I need to start wearing my contacts when it’s rainy because I can’t see a thing with the drops on my glasses and it being dark in the morning (even with a headlamp it doesn’t help too much). So, I need to remember contacts tomorrow morning if there’s rain! Had my smoothie for breakfast and then some crackers and cheese for my lunch/snack. Making burgers for dinner tonight with oven fries.
10/20 116.4 post run. Got a 5 mile run in this morning which felt pretty good. Food was on track all day yesterday as well. Looking forward to another good day with food and squeezing in some strength training on my lunch today too.
10/21 117.6 I think it was. This is a normal blip up for me because of where I’m at with my cycle. I started the morning with a 45 minute spin bike ride to mix it up a little bit because I’ve been increasing my running distance a bit this week/wanted to give different parts of my body a rest. Food was good yesterday and hopefully it will be again today, too! Work will be busy but that’s always a good thing because it makes the day go by fast! I plan on going for a walk during my lunch today too, it’s supposed to be in the 70s today which is pretty warm for this late in October. Happy almost Friday everyone!
10/21 Went away to NH
10/22 Camping in NH
10/23 Came home from NH
10/24 Did not weigh this morning. We went to NH to go camping on Friday night but headed up Thursday to beat the Friday traffic. The foliage was still kind of decent, so it was nice to see all the colors in the mountains. Camping/hiking was fun but I indulged in too much wine and felt it all day yesterday and also pretended calories didn’t count during said misery lol. I got veggie/paneer tikka masala, paratha (didn’t eat all of it though), basmati rice, and veggie pakora. That take out endedup being both my lunch and dinner yesterday because it was so much food. Food on Friday was also pretty indulgent but at least I did a 4 ½ mile run that morning. Food has been good today though. I had half a protein cookie for breakfast and lunch was a cheese and cracker plate I made (2 light brie cheese, 1.5 oz cheddar gruyere cheese, sliced up apple, a mini cucumber, snap peas, and fig olive crisp toasts/crackers from Trader Joes). The cheese plate was yummy and made me feel fancy 😊.
