Hi all, this is my second round, hoping to lose lots of weight, its a great help! 😀

SW: 174 pounds
Day/Weight/Comment
11/18/ 174/ long day, had to do alot of driving didn't have time to eat till late, had a small cottage pie 300cals and a small pancake, lots of tea and coffee. Didn't have time to take supplements.
11/19 / 173/ lost a pound, so happy 😊 taking adios tablets today, legs really hurt from youtube vid exercise two days ago, going to have hot bath, had to drive for over an hour today. I really feel I can keep this diet going, already lost 9 pounds, first benchmark of a stone lost is just five pounds away. I can do it this week! Motivation stays strong.
11/20/ 174/ don't understand why it went up, but its not going to just drop off over night, will try not to worry and keep going, only thing with any calories or carbs I ate today was a sausage roll. Cut down on my milky drinks, no more limitless cups of tea and coffee. Got this far in the day without hunger pangs making me snack, so doing well.
11/21/ 172/ down two pounds from round start, up early doesn't help snacking, felt my blood sugars where slightly low so had a biscuit and a proper dinner, was visiting parents so couldn't resist a home cooked meal made by mum. Still kept to my limit, drove 1 hr today so couldn't be bothered to excersise tonight, nothing planned for supper, so will have lots of camomile/ green/ spiced tea and look forward to weigh in tomorrow.
11/22/ 172/ just realised my scales do a point, I've been working it out from stones in my head, dafty! 😅 Will have decimals tomorrow. Going in right direction anyway, plan on doing 15 minutes on exersise bike today, and ate a banana for breakfast, pie and potatoes planned for dinner, not much protein, so I'll have extra chicken, and a few slices of ham. Bring on tomorrow's weigh in everyone, let's do this! No pain no gain, I've got to exercise more. Got pedometer but needs battery, so that to sort out, soon be counting steps.
11/23/ 172.4 / staying steady in weight last three days, don't know how my eating today will affect tomorrow had a blow out today with cinema popcorn and restaurant Xmas Dinner. Nervous for tomorrow's weigh in. 😬

Goal for this round: Maintain weight while continuing to focus on strength training and running
Previous days11/18 Scale is still being weird. Did a nice recovery run this morning clocking in at 5.75 miles and an average of 11:42/mile. I’m now at my cousin’s place watching his English bull dogs until Sunday. I have brought lots of healthy foods with me and will be making myself chili (I have been craving it for weeks now) tomorrow for dinner. Dinner tonight will be Amy’s frozen Indian meals with a piece of naan. Breakfast and lunch was also on point today as well. I’m hoping my body and scale sort out the wonkiness so I can get a decent reading on the scale again. On the bright side, my running is getting better 😊.11/23 Salty dinner last night, ended up getting Thai takeout. Made a batch of dandelion tea to help with some of the water retention and have been sipping on that and drinking a lot of water today. Making the steak tonight for dinner that’s been marinating since Sunday afternoon. Got in a nice slow/recovery run in this morning and kept my heart rate lowish/in the aerobic zone. Starting to get my to-do list for Thanksgiving together and figuring out the best timing to do some of the steps for the different dishes I’m making. I'll be making my grandmother’s Canadian stuffing that has potatoes, white bread and the typical onions and celery but it also has summer savory instead of sage as the main herby flavor. Then, I’ll be making mashed butternut squash with some brown butter and sage mixed in, and trying out homemade cranberry sauce too.
11/19 Did not post
11/20 Went for an epic run yesterday and a nice long slow run this morning. Did not weigh, still at my cousin’s place watching his two bull dogs. Food has been great and I even had a non scale victory of not eating this salted caramel blondie thing that’s here. I realized how much one serving was and realized it wasn’t worth the calories because it was about 200 calories for 1.5 oz. Instead of the brownie I had a serving of full fat plain yogurt (120 calories) with one of the peanut butter cookies(90 calories) I made and a tbs of the chocolate hazelnut butter (100 calories) for a total of 300ish calories and a whole lot more satisfying than 4 bites of a brownie.
Breakfast today: prerun- 2 raspberry zucchini corn muffins post run-full fat plain yogurt, honey crips apple, tbls chocolate hazelnut butter, 2 flourless peanut butter cookies plus a scoop of protein powder in water on the side. Lunch is going to be leftover chili and mac and cheese. Dinner will be a veggie miso broth based soup with a couple of eggs.
11/21 Did not weigh. Rest day. Headed home from dog sitting. Food has been good today but I just feel hungry in general even though I’ve eaten a amount of calories. I think I’m more hungry because I had less sleep this weekend than I normally get.
11/22 117.8 Post workout. Finally, back at I number I don’t mind seeing. Those 120 readings were making me nervous. I ran 6 miles this morning and plan to do my strength workout today during my lunch break. Breakfast was a strawberry beet smoothie (frozen strawberries, 1 small beet, frozen peaches, pumpkin seeds, peanuts, ginger, and coconut water), lunch will be akmak crackers with tahini and a drizzle of honey with an apple and maybe an ounce of cheese, and then dinner will be about 8oz of marinated skirt steak in a bulgogi marinade and the side will be brown rice, broccoli and carrots. Feeling good! Happy Monday everyone!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- 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.

Hello! I’m new to the forums. I am a 29 year old female, 5’7. I originally lost weight in 2015 (~190 > ~145) with calorie tracking and experimenting with different types of exercise. I eventually settled into a strength training routine and have been in maintenance mode for several years. I am lifting stronger than ever… but I’ve been ignoring the cardio sections of my workout programming, have let my diet get lax (I’m an ICU nurse and donuts, donuts everywhere as everyone’s idea as a morale boost in COVID era), and noticed my clothes were starting to feel a bit snug… so, I started tracking again about 1 month ago with a starting weight of 156.6lb
Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day (I switched to a primarily vegetarian diet a few years ago while I wasn’t tracking food and have had to make a conscious effort to get my protein intake up over the past month), avoid added sugars, add 20-30 minutes of HIIT or rowing on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days)

11/22 150.0 Scale hasn’t moved much over the past few days. I’m coming off working 3 long, stressful days. I got my Covid booster shot this morning, but managed to get my meal plan for the week, grocery shopping, a 3 mile walk with the dog, 20 minutes of HIIT, and a hefty pull day in before I started to feel icky from the shot. Dinner was spicy roasted chickpeas and carrots with farro and baked tofu. Protein: 136g
11/23 150.6 Diet has been really clean, so not too worried about scale. Slept pretty poorly with my sore Covid arm. Got in 3.5 mile walk, 30 minutes of rowing, and heavy leg day. Feeling sore from pull day yesterday. Went out to eat for the first time in a while before doing a safari lights walk at the zoo. Protein: 140g

I'm trying really hard not to sabotage myself just because I know Thanksgiving is Thursday and eat from now to next Monday. What I've decided is I'm going to try to be around this weight next Monday - give or take a pound. I'm not going to be upset if I don't lose during this week. I need to catch up on everyone's posts. I hope everyone is doing okay.

Round 169 (101st for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.
I am pleased that I got back on track last round. There is only 37 days to Christmas !! So I'd like to lose 5 pounds for then, that is only 5.5 weeks, a pound a week or 1.4 pounds per round. I know it will be tight, with pre-Christmas activities, but I'm going to persevere and give it a go. Feeling already better about the dress I want to wear for the start of December for Peaky Blinders dance night. I need to remain binge free, but at the end of the day – any loss will be a win!
Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” months ago, but remember there is still a pandemic, cases are continuing to rise: 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!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/18 134.4 – a nice drop to start the round. 11.03 miles walked yesterday, an hours yoga and an hours dance class, good food choices, all calories and macros well within limits.
11/19 135 – 9.72 miles walked yesterday, good food choices, calories well under, carbs 8 over.
11/20 134.2 – 12.54 miles yesterday, 2 hours dancing session, only sat out around 3 records, it was a really good workout; had to have a shower when I got home !! Calories in credit, but carb & fat 34 & 9 over respectively.
11/21 134.2 – 14.6 miles walked yesterday, all calories & macros well in limit.
11/22 134.6 - 6.46 miles walked yesterday, hence 242 calories & 67 carbs over, but no binge.
11/23 134.6 – 10.06 miles walked yesterday, all calories & macros well in credit. It never ceases me to amaze me how I can put on 2-3 pounds by over eating for 2 days, but eat well under calories for more than those days and the scale barely moves! There is no justice in this !! And that I think is what makes so many people disheartened, but keep the faith and keep going!!
11/24 133.6 – 10.2 miles walked yesterday, then helping my sister in her newly purchased bungalow that she is renovating; we cleaned down the woodwork today after the plasterer had redone all the walls & ceilings; hard work !! She fed me, very tasty Thai soup, but when I entered it in MFP the sodium content was off the scale !! I would like to maintain this weight for tomorrow, will be chugging water all day to flush it out!

**************************************
11/18 143.6 (trend 145.9) Big ol' drop overnight of 2.6lbs, this is totally out of character for me and I'm hoping it doesn't mean my scale needs replacing! I barely ate yesterday as I was still struggling with my digestion and wanted to give my system a break, seems to have worked nicely 😁 Also I realised that I did actually lose last round, I thought I had stayed the same but really I just can't count and had miscalculated my numbers so 0.4lbs lost last round, yay!
11/19 143.8 (trend 145.6) A little bounce back up but I'm still chuffed to bits with my progress after weeks of stagnation. Had an inactive day yesterday, I needed the rest. Feeling more energetic today so better make the most of it. Finished painting the kitchen finally after 4 coats on walls and ceiling so time to tidy up and move on to leveling the floor. AF
11/20 142.8 (trend 145.3) I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked at the scale this morning and saw that 2.8... Holy moley!! So that puts me at bmi 24.9, I'm at a healthy weight! It's taken 140 days to lose 38lbs and go from class 1 obese to normal weight, so so excited! I am gonna have to give myself a reality check as my trend weight still needs to catch up and I'm bound to fluctuate back up a bit but wahey! Need to start planning what my next mini goal will be... AF
11/21 142.4 (trend 144.9) Still going down, lovely! I've been really active the last few days, down on hands and knees, trying to remove hardboard that's been glued and tacked down onto my floorboards, for 9 hours each day. I can really feel it in my muscles so I was expecting some water gain but nothing so far. I've got so much more energy than I did about 6 months ago, I was so tired all the time and my joints hurt. I'm much more flexible too, it just makes everything easier!
Hubby has been away for the last few days so I've had a lot more control over what I eat and drink, and less temptation! AF
11/22 141.8 (trend 144.4) No bounce back yet, fingers crossed it'll hold. Hubby came back yesterday and wanted us to go to the pub but I didn't want the temptation of a nice cool (carb and calorie laden) beer so we stayed home. Really trying break the drinking cycle at the moment, doing well. Can I go sober until Christmas? Maybe. He ordered a domino's pizza but I didn't have any, phew! Knowing what happened last time with the cramps, constipation and water retention makes it much easier to abstain. AF
11/23 141.4 (trend 144.0) I really don't understand how I'm still losing each day after such a long slow losing spell of about 2 months.. don't want to say too much in case I jinx it. Been alcohol free for 5 days and getting really good sleep so maybe it's that. AF
11/24 140.6 (trend 143.6) Should be finished with scraping the floor today, after 5 solid days of it I've had enough, I will miss the workout though. Weight's still dropping somehow, this puts me at 40.2 lbs lost!
Saturday is going to be crazy, we have to fly to Portugal and back on the same day, yikes! I'd have liked to have stayed a few days but ticket prices are too high and really were only going to pick up some mail. I always swell up horrifically with water retention when I fly, must remember to wear large shoes! AF

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
11/18 209.2 Walked 3 + .6 + 1.3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Results from Grimaldi’s pizza for lunch and then Los Tios Mexican dinner.
11/19 209.6 Walked 1.3 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Definitely not controlling the intake nor measuring it. Sigh …
11/20 209.1 Walked 3.3 + 3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 38th Anniversary dinner with DH at Ouisie’s Table, 2 glasses wine.
11/21 208.5 Walked.6 + 3 miles, 1860 cal, 58 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Meals were pretty good but I got into the snacks in the afternoon. Steak night and my sister joined us which leads to more wine.
11/22 207.0 Walked 3.6 miles, 2042 cal, 69 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Made this yummy Olive Garden like soup recipe Zuppa Toscana Soup but with cauliflower instead of potatoes. I use frozen cauliflower flowerets and spinach (draining them before adding to the pot). https://www.shugarysweets.com/low-carb-keto-zuppa-toscana-soup-recipe/
11/23 207.5 Walked 3.6 + 1.4 miles, 1728 cal, 69 net carbs, AF. 2nd Shingrix vaccine (Shingles) and Tdap vaccine (Whopping Cough). Whooping Cough vaccine is recommended at least 2 weeks before being around a newborn and of course this new grandma is going to heed the advice! So 2021 we got 7 vaccines: 3x COVID, 2x Shingles, Flu, Tdap … I call this fully vaccinated 😂
11/24 208.5 @ 3am [/b] Strength Training 1 hr, no walk (DH walked the dogs while I was at class), 1894 cal, 212 net carbs, AF. Easily made it through class but then the vaccines from yesterday really kicked in and knocked both DH & I off our feet. Tired! Headache! Chipotle for lunch and Grimaldi’s Pizza for dinner. Not the best choices but I’m not up to fighting the battle. What is it they say? Feed a fever 🤒
Should You Feed a Cold and Starve a Fever? - The answer is no. In actuality, you should feed both a cold and a fever — and starve neither.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/18 - 87.8 kg / 193.6 lbs
11/19 - 87.6 kg / 193.1 lbs / really stoked about this, didn't expect it since had salty food yesterday!
11/20 - 88.2 kg / 194.5 lbs / had lots of donuts and wine during the weekend, so no surprise in this sudden increase.
11/21 - 88.7 kg / 195.6 lbs
11/22 - 87.0 kg / 191.8 lbs / well I guess the water weight is gone?
11/23 - 85.6 kg / 188.7 lbs / I am under a lot of stress currently and usually the way I deal with stress is to turn to comfort food... well not this time. I am not feeling hungry at all and am just taking advantage of this. Of course I am careful not to starve myself and to be sure that I drink enough water.
11/24 - 85.3 kg / 188.1 lbs / today I was shocked, shocked I say! I haven't been at this weight since December 2018... that is kind of mind-blowing to me

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

The sunrise of a new round. I am grateful for it.
This low reading will be difficult for me to match at the end of this round with a holiday in it. I may give it the college try.

Round 169
Please join us! Starting on 11/18 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 169
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.
Goals
- check in at least every other day
- Low carb
- participate

Highest Weight: 174 lbs (Summer 2021)
Starting Weight: 166.6 lbs
Challenge Goal: 161 lbs
Ultimate Goal: 130 lbs
My challenge might seem high for 10 days, but I'm currently coming off a couple days of overindulgence and tend to float more around 164, putting my challenge at more 3 lbs down! I hoping to see some of the bloat come off quickly.
11/18 - 166.6 lbs - So ready for some daily focus with Thanksgiving approaching! I don't want holiday eating this year to stretch from Halloween to New Years, but rather occur only on the actual day!
11/19 - 165.8 lbs - Actually logged and stuck to my calorie goal yesterday, and look at the difference it made! I'm going to challenge myself to so this every day this challenge!
11/20 - 165.0 lbs. - Another day logged, another day of success! Wanted to see 164, but I can't be sad about a 0.8 lb loss. However, a bit nervous for today as I'm going to a wedding. I'm going to just trust myself and check in with myself while eating to make sure I'm not too full. Life doesn't stop when we're trying to get healthy and I need to learn how to work with these days!
11/21 - 165.0 lbs. - I am SO excited that I managed to maintain! It helped that we sat pretty far from the buffet so I was never really tempted to eat past my first plateful. Plus I may or may not have focused more on the drinks! But really pleased with that and hopefully I can still hold strong today while we are at my in-laws. They tend to want to overfeed us usually!
11/22 - 165.2 lbs. - Didn't track yesterday and my in-laws gave us a HUGE box of snacks that they bought for us..ugh. Didn't want to be rude so we took them, but I'm having my husband take them to work with him so that they aren't in the house. Ready to track today and hopefully see a jump down to 164 tomorrow!
11/23 - 164.8 lbs. - Yay! Glad to be back to 164, though at this rate I don't think I'll hit my challenge goal with Thanksgiving looming. But that's okay! I'd love to see and hold 163 by the end!
11/24 - 164.4 lbs. - I had 2 personal packs of Cheez-its, and spaghetti and meatballs for dinner yesterday. It's always nice to get confirmation that you CAN lose weight eating everything you love! For me, it really is about reducing unnecessary snacking!

Round Goal: 209.1
Day/Weight/Comment
11/18: 210.4 Weight has just kept falling off in the past week so I'm preparing myself for a little stagnation. I set my goal to 209.1 because that will mark 90 lbs lost and this round marks 7 months since starting this adventure. Excited to get there and then keep it going for another 30 lbs!
11/19: 211.9 Oof! I definitely didn't work out as hard this morning (my alarm didn't go off) but still got 30 minutes in. Snacked last night after a really small lunch and stressful work day. Have to control those urges in the weekend. Looking to do at least 1 hour of rides per day.
11/20: 209.9
11/21: 209.9
11/22: 211.0 - Not in the least bit surprised about this. Got some personal news this weekend and drank Friday/Saturday which came with snacking and not working out as hard as I always do on Sundays. 3 days until Thanksgiving. I just have to be good and work out.
11/23: 210.5 - Holding steady around here which is fine. Still would like to see sub-210 by Thursday but if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. I'll stay below 212 and focus on being below 200 by Christmas. Did a normal 550 calorie burn on the bike this morning. I can go harder Thursday-Sunday this week and I plan on it.
11/24: 210.5 - Had to give my legs a little rest this morning so took two low impact rides and didn't burn many calories but any movement is better than sitting on the couch. Cooking for thanksgiving tonight and then big weekend of eating (controlled) ahead.

11/18. 205 (-.8) Off to a good start for this next round. Stayed away from the sweets and snacks yesterday.

11/20 205.4 (+.6) Not going to worry about this.
11/21 206 (+.6) Too much salt, sugar and snacking.
11/22 205.6 (-.4) Better. Did a lot of yard work yesterday but also ate salty food. Still a slight loss for this round.
11/23 205.4 (-.2) However slight, it is in the right direction.😊 Traveling today to get my mom for a Thanksgiving visit.
11/24 204.8 (-.6) Good day yesterday. I spent five hours driving so didn’t snack. I did have pizza for dinner but controlled how much I ate.

11/18 211.0 (-.8) Down 53 pounds! Yesterday was a busy day, but I made it a point to stay below my calorie plan. I didn’t quite get enough water, so I’ll be working on that today. I’m meeting a friend for lunch, so the scale will be up a bit over the next few days. Really hoping to be under 210 by the end of the round.
11/19 211.8 (0) Lunch with my friend was wonderful yesterday. It’s a crazy busy day today, but I will fit swimming in between meetings and errands.
11/20 212 (+.2) I had a really good day yesterday, but am not surprised by the slight bump. This is still from my indulgence meal on Thursday. Things should start dropping again tomorrow if I stay on track.
11/21 211.2 (-.6) Hiking today. My sister flies into town tomorrow and I’ll have company for the next two weeks. I want to enjoy spending time with her and my family, but still keep exercising and eating right most of the time. We are going to have fun.
11/22 210.6 (-1.2) This feels really good. My sister and I hiked over four miles yesterday with the dogs. It was chilly, but beautiful. My sisters planned a day at the pool tomorrow so I could still swim laps. They’ll be doing the lazy river section where they can walk against the current, while I swim. It’s so thoughtful and will be good for all of us. Today is busy with no organizes exercise. We’ll be doing our final grocery shopping for Thanksgiving. Our dinner will include art. The dining room table is always covered with art supplies so we can sculpt with air dry clay and paint before and after we eat. It’s become a fun family tradition.
11/23 210.8 (-1.0) Went grocery shopping yesterday for Thanksgiving. Lots of traditional foods. Stayed on track. Today is swimming.
11/24 209.8 (-2.0) The day before Thanksgiving and I’m losing weight. I don’t think that would have happened in the past. The food is in the house and despite the temptations, I’ve stayed focused. I’ll be up after tomorrow’s dinner and probably even at the end of this round. But a new round of down is right around the corner.
