@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.

@schmoyew - That is funny because I'm an accountant and I check my weight on two scales too!

10/26 - 146.7 - Slow and steady, if I can keep that up these next two mornings, I'll be at or lower than last round's end weight. I'm okay with that. Drove to work yesterday only to realize outage was cancelled and had to drive home since I left my computer here... guess I'm WFH the remainder of the week. BF sick (not COVID) so I'm glad I'm not at work. I don't want to share germs, covid or not. Doing everything in my power to boost immunity, avoid him, and keep house cleaned and sanitized in hopes I can skip out on being sick. Stopped at store on way home to stock up on sick items. Even had homemade chicken noodle soup for dinner (with leftovers today for us). Will try to take pup for a walk to get some good fresh air for myself later on today as well. I need to walk anyway (:

Previous Day's Comments

10/19 - 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!
10/23 - DNP
10/24 - 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.
10/25 - Shocked to be down with a nice heavy steak dinner last night. Only got about 60 oz water so behind on that, too. Being slightly down on an early weigh in, after a weekend, as me surprised. I'll take it! This week I'm not sure I'll get too many steps. Hopefully I can find excuses to get up and move, though. I will be having nightly dinner leftovers for lunch this week, but we have a few good ones planned out. Also bought some extra steamable veggies I can pop in the microwave for a few minutes while prepping other things to supplement lunch. Today I'll have balsamic parmesan baked zucchini, roasted sweet potato, and steak. Yum! Also need to keep an eye on carbs since my fasting glucose is a tad higher in the normal range than Doc and I like, so I'll be doing my best to eat healthier in that regard. If y'all have advice, send it! I don't want to miss out on my veggies, but I need to cut down (not eliminate) the other carb-heavy stuff I typically eat like breads and such. I know I eat too much of it, I need to learn to portion that part of my life haha!

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

Female, 5’3”, 60
Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last
2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021)
GW: <200 in 2021 BMI 35.2
UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150's

My goal for 2021 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, strength training, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

Day/Weight/Comment:

10/19: 298.8 (-2.4 lbs) 😀

10/20: 297.8 ⬇️ (-1 lb) Did upper body workout yesterday 30 minutes. Today's plan is get some aerobics, elliptical steps, and some dancing in.

10/21: 296.4 ⬇️ (- 1.4 lbs) Very happy with this loss, even though I as surprised with this much loss this morning, since I did go over on my calories yesterday. I did do some aerobic exercise; However, I was feeling lazy yesterday, so I didn't do the all the exercises I had planned to do.

10/22: 296.2 ⬇️ (-0.2 oz) Was a good food day, stayed under daily calorie limit.
10/23: 296.2
10/24: Rest Day
10/25: 295.8 .⬇️ (-0.4 oz)
10/26: 298.2 ⬆️ (+2.4) Over ate yesterday on salty food, and a lot of this gain is water weight. However, I need to remember this saying ( Don't Give Up What I Really Want! For What I Want Now.) Current wants sabotage future wants. I need to keep this in mind whenever I'm tempted to overeat. But sometimes it is hard to do. 🤐😥

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!
10/25: 220.0 - I'm guessing that the scale didn't reset this morning, the other scale said 221.2 and I didn't work out this morning so I definitely expect to be higher but I'll probably work out tonight. Motivation to get to the teens.
10/26: 222.7 - OOF a bit of a bump here. Some would say the cheesesteak, fries, boneless wings and not working out yesterday is responsible. Eating good today and drinking tons of water to help flush the system. Set a new PR on the Peloton for a 20 minute ride so that felt good at least. And like I said, I wanted to be below 224 by yesterday and even with this bump, I am. Next goal is under 212 by Thanksgiving.

Previous days

10/19 116.6 post run Did not post, the day got away from me.
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 😊.
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 on my work. 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.

10/26 118.2 post run. Did a 4 mile run this morning and it went much better with my contacts in. The rain was pretty intense at one point but it almost made it more fun. On the bright side, all the rain added some weight to me and caused me to have that much more energy output. Food plan today is a protein smoothie with vanilla protein powder, plums, cashews, kale, ginger, mushroom powders, and inulin. Lunch will be paneer pakora with rice and dinner will be tacos with very lean ground beef.

I’m also super excited because the cookbook I pre-ordered back in the spring called “Rise and Run” by Shalane Flannagan and Eyse Kopecky should be arriving today at some point! It’s breakfast-themed and also has some running info included in it. So, I’m looking forward to reading through that today or tomorrow depending on what time it arrives. I have their two other cookbooks and meal planner notebook which are some of my favorite cookbooks I have 😊.

Even though I am 1.6 lower than yesterday, my 10-day rolling average went up 0.1. That is because I just dropped a 205.6 off the front end of my rolling 10-day range. I need to sprinkle more low numbers in my 10-day mixes. I would like to break the 205 barrier this round. Out to lunch with an old friend today. Maybe I can remember to make a good choice or three.

10/20: 206.2
Happy hump day everyone!

10/21: 204.8
This is goofy. But I will take it and run.

Looking forward to the day when this is on the upper end of my range, but considering the season, I will be happy to revolve around this reading for the next couple months. So many celebrations ahead! Because the way I was raised plus what was spliced into my DNA somehow, celebration means food. I need to work on that don’t I?

10/22: DNW
Due to yesterday’s abject failure and the simple fact that I am still carrying around what I ate the day before yesterday… nuff said.

Today will be better.

Simply not paying enough attention leads to this yoyo and a +210 reading on a Monday morning. This has me really psyched up to face another rainy day.

Alright, that’s enough stinkin thinkin. 😊

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

10/21 - 179.8
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.

10/22 - 179.6
Happy Friday, everyone!

10/23 - 179.5
I had a bit of a snack fest last night, but am still trending down. Aiming to do better today!

10/24 - 179.4
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.

10/25 - 179.5
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!

10/26 - 179.5
Whew, what a couple of days. We found our flooring, and our installer can start today so last night was a mad dash to empty bookcases — I have books stacked all over the bedroom — and then I took Rory pup to his scent work class, then this mornin* I cleared the dining room hutch and other spots, and now I’m off with Rory to his sub-novice class while DH empties half the aquarium to move it. But it will be worth it to get that ugly old inherited carpet out, out, out!

¤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.
{Day/Weight/Comment}

▪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😀

▪Day2▪︎ We•10/20- ¤196 (Tu•10/19- 1pm, 7pm, 9pm; 18hrs) 46g carbs; Fiber•8g; 80ozs water.

▪Day4▪︎ Fr•10/22- ¤197.8 (Th•10/21- 11am, 4pm, 7:30pm, 9pm; 15hrs) 50g carbs; Fiber•12g; 64ozs water.

162 EW: 218.6
163 EW: 211.8
164 EW: 211.6

Round 165 goals: Pelo 2-3x/week; strength training 2-3x/week; 11,500 steps/day; <90 net carbs/day; lose as much weight as I can!

SW: 206.0
10/19: 205.6 Had a good day yesterday. 67 net carbs, step goal achieved, and strength training done. Also had my follow up doctor visit yesterday and she was quite impressed! 33lbs down since 8/16/21 according to her scale. Woohoo!
10/20 206.4 Disappointed? A little. Surprised? Not really. I was baking my daughter’s birthday cake yesterday, and making all of the candies I’m putting on top of it, so I was in the kitchen a long time. 58 net carbs though, step goal achieved, and Pelo ride done. On to today!
10/21 206.8 Had another great day yesterday. 61 net carbs, step goal hit, and some strength training done. Why the uptick again? Hormones is the most likely culprit. Being a female is so fun! 🤣
10/22. 205.4 Well yesterday took a turn. We unexpectedly had to put our 3 year old cat down. She ate a thread that got all tangled in her intestines and the vet said there wasn’t really much that could be done to save her. The kids are devastated, and I’m taking it harder than I expected too. She was such a good kitty. We got the call in the middle of dinner, then went to say good bye. I decided to jump on the Pelo once we got back to pedal out some tears. 78 net carbs, but step goal not hit because of poor River Song. 💔
10/23 🏕 DNW 48 net carbs yesterday. Hit well over my step goal too. Overall a great day and wonderful first night camping.
10/24 🏕 DNW 91 net carbs- it was DDs birthday and I had baked a “150 hour chocolate cake” for her that I had to try a small slice of. It was worth the extra carbs! Fell short by just under 1,000 on my step goal, but I’m learning if I stress out and try to make up the shortage too close to bedtime that it always seems to backfire on me. So it is what it is. I still cleared over 10,500. On to this fresh and new week!
10/25 205.4 69 net carbs yesterday, step goal not quite completed. And then, monthly hormonal shift in full effect too. Oh well. It is what it is. I’m just going to keep putting my nose to the grindstone and putting in the work. This will be over soon!
10/26 206.8 It seems I’ve hit the PMS plus, so hopefully that means I’m about through the stall. Had a good day yesterday- 56 net carbs and step goal achieved. I just got a new book too- The New Rules of Lifting for Women. I can’t wait to put it to work!

10/21 206.6
10/22 207.2 I'm glad to be out of the teens and solidly in the 200 + single digits. Down a smidgen over 70 pounds. I don't mind plateaus. I feel good swimming laps, doing tai chi & chair yoga, even though I'm famished after time in the water.

10/23 206.2 weight fluctuates. I'm happy to have lost since I had a headache & backache followed by two peanut butter & honey sandwiches (totally off my plan) last night.
This is a very interesting journey with surprises along the way!

10/24 205 Go figure...a friend stopped by unexpectedly with a box of cinnamon rolls yesterday afternoon, I had three as I had coffee & we chatted. And I lost weight this morning?

10/25 206.2 swam for an hour, overate, popcorn, energy bars, Babe Ruth bar, 2 extra bananas. Dang swimming makes me way more hungry than any other exercise! Hope tomorrow's weight isn't outrageous.

10/26 206.2 Whew - I must have just eaten to my calorie expenditure yesterday. So happy to not have gained. I feel strong, enjoy the effects of exercise endorphins, and love walking in these woods. Sunrise was full of brilliant colors this morning.

Challenge 164 221.6 (-1.8) Challenge 165 218.6 (-3.0)

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.
10/26 - 217.2 (-1.4) Phew! I won’t meet my goal this round, but I’m happy to be heading downward once again. Drank all my water yesterday and stayed under calories. Swimming is on the schedule today.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/19 / 205.4 / Ready to kick this mid-200's to the curb! Let's do this.
10/20 / 204 / Oh hey girl hey!!! There's the drop I've been looking for. Hubby and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary last night. We opted to stay in and he cooked me a fabulous meal. Had planned my calories at maintenance - 10% and am happy with how I managed myself.
10/21 / 202 / Looks like my body is saying goodbye to what it held on to in R165! I had the hardest ride on the Peloton to date yesterday morning and a really great day of eating. This is my lowest weight ever on this journey and it officially moves me from the obese BMI category to overweight! WOO HOO!
10/22 / 201.4 / Yesterday was a mix of yoga, strength training, and walking. Ate on track, went to my Mom's for dinner and cooked a healthy meal for her. Glad to see more progress today!
10/23 / 199.8 / I'm not exactly sure when the last time I saw a 1 to start my weight was, but the last memory I do have of it was around 15 years ago, so this is a VERY exciting day indeed. The weight seems to just be tumbling off me this round!
10/24 / 200 / It was pouring rain here yesterday, but it wasn't snow so I'll take it! Got myself out for a good walk, rode the Peloton, and did my yoga. Noticing how much better it feels to be inside my body these days.
10/25 / 202.2 / Fun day yesterday doing a few shorter hikes in the mountains. Made some great memories. Also did a harder than normal 30 minute power yoga class.. loving how I can notice my strength improving.
10/26 / 202.2 / Spent 50 minutes on the Peloton yesterday which is my longest ever.

Here is a protein calculator for anyone that needs it. It helps in determining the number of grams per day according to activity level. I'll try to remember to add it to my Round 168 post.
