Goal for this round: Maintain weight while continuing to focus on strength training and running
Previous days11/30 121.something I'm feeling good today. Accidentally ran longer than expected this morning clocking in at 6.8 miles because I miscalculated how far away from home I was during my run. Tomorrow will be a 5 mile run most likely. Food has been good today and I will be at 160 g of protein after I finish my chili for dinner tonight.
11/28 121ish I think it was. I’m not sure if weight creep is happening or if it’s just water retention from the strength training/running at a higher level/where I’m at in my cycle/Thanksgiving splurges. This week I’m going to focus on my protein intake and reducing my sodium intake. All of the Thanksgiving leftovers are just about out of the fridge which is a good thing/I’m sick of the thought of even eating any. I indulged a little too much over the past few days with pumpkin and apple pie but that is now out of the way and I’m looking forward to having a good week.
Started the day with some toast and dandelion tea to help flush out some bloat and also upped the water. I made some cranberry sauce oat bars but have already shared half with my in-laws, had one for lunch with plain yogurt, and then froze the other 4 servings to have in the future. I find if baked goods are in the freezer, I am more likely to eat them more sporadically versus having them out. So, if I have a day where I can splurge on 400 calories (like my long run days), I will happily enjoy it. The good thing about the bars is that they are filled with healthy fats from the hazelnut meal and butter and a touch of fiber as well, so they are quite satisfying.
11/29 ? Not completely sure of my weight this morning. Ran 6 miles this morning and did my strength workout on my lunch. Food was good all day. Breakfast was toast and eggs, lunch was a protein shake plus an apple and peanut butter yogurt dip, dinner was pork tenderloin with roasted Brussel sprouts, fennel bulb and leftover fiber gourmet pasta with a touch of butter and Trader Joe’s cheesy seasoning blend. I decided that at least during the week I am going to cut a little bit of calories to slowly work my way back down to 114 over the next few months. I like that weight and know I’ll be able to get back to that point again or at least that size even if I weigh a little more because muscle takes up less space than fat… If I’m doing all this work to strength train, I would like to be able to see the definition at a leaner size. I should be able to go back to cutting 200 calories a day relatively easy on the days I strength train because I burn over 700 activity calories. Then on just my running days, I’ll cut 100-150 calories. Even with the cutting I will make sure I prioritize protein and make sure I get at least 100-120g per day.
Also will start tracking grams of protein here daily: 142g today.
Officially started the cut last night with shaving 200 calories off my day and today will be 120 calories shaved off. I will assess how I feel each week to see if I decide to cut calories that week based on energy levels/how my body feels physically.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Lynn: 74 year old Newbie. Live in central B.C., Canada. I work hard to keep pushing my physical and mental abilities. Retired in 2019 from medical office work. After a year I just felt there was still "more" to my life so accepted a job as a dietary aide at an assisted living seniors' residence. Love how the seniors have expanded my "Covid bubble" by 35!

I’ll be completing day 1 of the 30 day shred today. So this week will be focussing on completing the first 10 day, no alcohol and not eating without being mindful.
Completed day one
11/30:long day at work so done walking, sit down exercises
12/01: 156.6
So because I’m doing long day today and doing the 30 day shred m, I’m having to adapt it so that I do them on my day off. Wednesday day 2, Sunday day 3 and next week I’m working from home so can complete the days as usual. Just means first 10 days of 30 day shred will be longer

Round 170 (102nd for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.
There is only 27 days to Christmas !! So I'd like to lose 4 pounds for then, that is only 4.5 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 keeping going. Still feeling better about the dress I want to wear next weekend for Peaky Blinders dance night. I need to remain binge free, but at the end of the day – yet again any loss will be a win!
Covid numbers keep yoyoing in England – we reached “freedom day” months ago, but there is still a pandemic, and now a new variant: 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
11/28 135.2 – only managed 3.56 miles yesterday, Storm Arwen stopped me ! Snow, sleet, high winds which were icy cold – bbrrrrr, hence day was over on calories & carbs & weight!
11/29 133.8 – pleasantly surprised by this number after a high carb low mileage weekend, but will take it! Again wintery weather was against me yesterday, only 4.25 miles walked, hence 25 calories & 88 carbs over.
11/30 133.8 – pleased this number stayed around, 9.5 miles walked yesterday & a good food day, calories well under, carbs 17 over.
12/1 133.8 – 9.11 miles walked yesterday followed by the rest of the day painting in my sisters house, 2 coats of 50/50 paint/water on the fresh plaster on all walls and ceiling in her lounge. Good camaraderie with my sisters whilst we work. Not too bad food day, she did provide us with a slice of homemade lemon drizzle cake after our jacket potato with chilli, but you know what, it wasn't worth the extra calories!!

**************************************
11/28 143.0 (trend 142.7) Not really surprised to see this gain, yesterday was crazy, flying to Portugal and back in one day. We managed to squeeze in a lovely meal and a little walk around the town to see the lights and the monastery.
11/29 142.2 (trend 142.6) Glad to see this coming back down despite indulging in some treats yesterday, I got caught up in seasonal spirit at a cosy pub with a log fire. It was snowing outside and they were selling Christmas trees, we had soup and a few beers, proper hygge vibes!
Then pizza back at home and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation on the box. I'm not usually all that interested in Christmas, hubby being a Hindu and my daughter is usually with her dad, but this year feels different, we're all ready to get really into it!
11/30 143.0 (trend 142.7) Had a really lazy day yesterday and didn't drink enough water, plus I was snacky so I'm not that surprised to be up again. Must tighten things up for the next few weeks to get back on track.
12/01 143.0 (trend 142.7) Much more active day, food ok but still not enough water. Spent the day ripping up floorboards so feeling quite achy. Went for a beer in a pub built in 1610, sat by the fire and listened to the landlord's ghost stories, then a walk round the town to see the lights.
Still retaining water I think, totm is coming up so it'll take a while to shift it.

Yes it's a nice place, we've only been there during covid though so haven't seen it at its best. My hubby works for a company based in the EU and we're both keen to get our citizenship back so we've gone for Portuguese residency with the aim of duel citizenship in 5 years or so, fingers crossed!3 -

12/01 - 150.0 - Guessing this is due to waking up several hours earlier than normal. Not worried about it since I look and feel way less bloated than yesterday! Long couple days ahead but I've set myself up well enough. Healthy snacks (salmon packets, protein shake), a balanced lunch, and water all packed and ready to go. Plan to do bodyweight exercises (squats, pushups, lunches, planks) during breaks at work plus I'm sure I'll have plenty of walking to do.

Previous Day's Comments11/28 - Progress is progress, no matter how slow. I'll take it. Especially since Fam wanted to go out last night, we didn't make it home until almost 1am, and I'm running on about 5 hours of sleep. I'm also quite sore, particularly in my legs, since I did a small bodyweight workout yesterday. Knee is still tender, but doing better and I'm trying to work around it. Water was very good yesterday but I can still tell I've got some bloat to contend with. Will keep hacking away at my habits, though. Fasted yesterday for about 16.5 hours. My goal fasting window doesn't open up until 2pm today so we shall see how long I can hold off before my body yells "no more!" It may take a few days to retrain my body to this fasting schedule so I'm not terribly worried. Again, progress is progress, no matter how slow.
11/29 - Hey, it's still progress! Think some of this weight is DOMS, some hormonal. I was beyond sore by end of day yesterday. Struggling to get in and out of the chair. Today I'm still sore, but I've already pushed through 5 minutes on the rowing machine at a slow pace (NF app "morning activity" which can be meditation, journaling, workout, yoga, stretching, any activity that will wake up the brain and begin the brain-body communication WITHOUT electronics. Right now, it's creating the habit, so they only have us doing 5 minutes until it becomes habit, then moving on to longer times. I also used their method of "temptation bundling" like I did with running: I can only listen to my podcasts when I'm on the rower, walking, or running.) I'm going to try to push through at least 1 of their body weight workout rounds (they aim for 3 rounds of it, but I only did 2 on Saturday and I was barely able to walk yesterday so taking it easy today with rowing to help supplement). Food wasn't great, but I did manage to stay within calories and started fasting really early (had more of a lunch that ended about 3pm) and 90oz water. Going to push as far as I can with fasting today so I don't have a horribly long eating window to stuff my face. Went shopping and have balanced dinners planned for the week. Will be commuting at least Wednesday, possibly Thursday so I have a balanced meal for those planned. It should give me enough for at least 3 days so I'll have to find something healthy for today's lunch to get me through. Hopefully I can see 140s again without too much issue in the next day or two.
11/30 - There we go, back into the 140s. Now to hold on to that. Yesterday was good with all my daily habits. Finished 1.5 rounds of the bodyweight circuit and I'm still sore, but less so. Also did yoga stretching yesterday beforehand to help with the soreness. Active rest today was a nice wake up yoga morning routine. I have a conference webinar taking up most of the morning so I'll try to focus on getting up for some light movement (even if its pacing) throughout. Batch cooking some chicken burrito bowls for lunch today through Thursday. Tonight will be shrimp tacos. Tomorrow I commute in to work so I may or may not be able to post, but will weigh in and do my best to pop on. Same with Thursday if I end up having to drive in (dependent on how tomorrow goes). At the very least, I'll be back Friday.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
11/28 209.5 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, fishing, not tracking food. Chips, pie, and drinks are damaging any success I’m making with good choices at meal time. Burned my hand which was not a good excuse to drink bourbon but I soothed it with Aloe on the hand and a few drinks instead of pain meds. TODAY is a good day to start fresh.
11/29 209.3 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 2.5 + .5 miles, fishing, 1404 cal, 123 net carbs, AF.

11/29: 208.6 - Wow I had a lot of catching up to do I couldn't believe the last round ended 2 days ago. Thanksgiving weekend flew by! I feel like I ate pretty well and when I didn't I made sure I adjusted the rest of my day to that to stay under calories. Just have to buckle down for the end of the year. I WILL be under 200 by Christmas.
11/30: 208.1 - Last day of the month long Apple Watch challenge to work out every day, I did it. At this point I might as well go the rest of the year but maybe do something different tomorrow. I love the bike but my hamstring (previously torn) is not doing well. Rather give myself a day of rest than re-tear it and be forced into months of rest.
12/1: 207.0 - A decent surprise after waking up with a bit of a stomach issue. Set a new 20 minute PR on the Peloton which again was a surprise. Took a progress picture this morning, don't see much difference in last 10 lbs but see major difference in last 20 lbs.

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.

Leftovers out. That is crazy. I think my scale was trolling me yesterday.
11/30: 207.2
Having some trouble nursing my discipline back to health. I wounded it during the Thanksgiving holiday.
My first scale reading of this round obliterated any possibility for a decent ten-day average.
I have never been as interested as I am this year about being interested. Caring about caring. Paying attention to paying attention during the holiday season. This makes it difficult to think about the annual office parties, open houses, family gatherings that are all ahead of me. Not to mention the gatherings I don’t even know about yet.
In the past for me, this has been all about the food (including last weekend.) Now, today, I will try to think more about the people I am with. My discipline is not mortally wounded! But, it has an infection.

11/28 211.2 (-.4) Still coming down from Thanksgiving. Today I’m hiking with both of my sisters.
11/29 210.4 (-1.2) Wow! This is my first holiday season logging here and really staying focused. I enjoyed Thanksgiving and ate all my favorite foods then did my best to get back on track the day after. I’m only .6 over my low weight. It’s really helped to read the forums to stay encouraged. No organized exercise today.
11/30 209.0 (-2.6) Dropped my Thanksgiving bump and down .8 from my former low weight. I’m still a bit in shock that I can enjoy eating my favorite holiday foods including egg nog and pumpkin pie with lots of whip cream and drop the extra weight in less than a week if I get back on track the following day. Just one more real life example helping me build confidence that I can do this and not only reach goal weight, but maintain it once I get there.
12/1 209.4 (-2.2) Swimming was good yesterday. I still have company in town, but working to stay on plan. Today is no organized exercise. I definitely need to drink more water.

Boing boing. But it’s ok, just normal post-pig out bouncing. I’ve got half my office painted but have to paint in short spurts because of other things. I’ll be glad when it’s finished, and happily I love the dark green coziness of the color! Off now for a walk with Rory. He turned 5 months yesterday and is in full adolescent goofiness. Here’s a pic I took yesterday.

A little better. Now to keep going this direction!

It’s all on me—I had some chocolate fudge truffle ice cream last night, and dinner was a bit salty. I did spent 90 minutes walking/running/standing/moving equipment at doggy school, though, so I did get some exercise. Today I’m determined to get some more of my office painted—nothing scheduled except a puppy play date with a friend’s Golden, and she’s coming here. Otherwise, paint in me!

11/29 - 158.8 Snacked too much in the afternoon - got very hungry
11/30 - 159.4 Thought I ate OK but was way over WW points; did well controlling snacking and portions. Went for a 2 mile jog! My back was OK - a little sore a few hours later. I think I can work back up to regular jogging! My body was so happy to be active outside!!

Hi all, 😁 this will be my third round.
I have lost 10 pounds so far from highest from previous rounds.

SW: 172.6
GW this round: 169
UGW: 130
Day/Weight/Comment
11/28/ 172.6/ dropped quite a bit from yesterday, recalculated my SW from 174.2, had lots of tea this morning, green, spiced and camomile, two wee mini burgers for lunch total cals 160. Feeling positive I can reach goal, once this round is over, if I stay on track, I'll have lost a full stone. A quarter of the way to my UGW.
11/29/ 171.8/ so close to my first benchmark, will try hard this week, plan to go swimming 😀
11/30/ 170.5/ didn't expect the drop, this is good, lots of herbal teas and moderate exersise, played pool for an hour last night. Had pie for dinner. Good news, getting there.
12/1/ 170.4/ kept within my calories for day yesterday, although I had a takeaway, its important for me to exersise more so going to horse riding tomorrow. Had a hot bath last night which is good for weight loss. Missed breakfast today as it was my day off and I slept in, so hoping the sleep burnt some extra cals through the night..I usually try for a 12 hour sleep on days I can, I sleep like a log. My pedometer arrived, so my steps where very low yesterday, it reset so I lost some data, but hoping to see what walking to shop counts as. Plan to just have a hotdog for dinner, should be enough, and tasty. Hope everyone else is keeping well, and reaching their goals 😊 gotta keep that mojo!

I’m 5’7, 29 years old, female. I follow a lifting program and would like to decrease my body fat while maintaining muscle mass. My strength programming is 6x/week and I’m considering doing doubles twice a week since it’s so hard to fit in a workout when I leave for work at 6am and get home around 8pm 3x a week.
My starting weight in Oct 2021 was 156.6
Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day, avoid added sugars, 20-30 minutes of cardio on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days), add one day of double strength training per week.
11/28 151.2 surprisingly stayed the same weight after the Thanksgiving feast yesterday. Cardio for the day 20 minutes of single arm devils press, overhead walking lunges, and box jumps. Reload week on my strength training programming, but still lots of Bulgarian split squats today (the worst move ever). Meal planned and bought groceries for the week. Dinner was sautéed mushrooms and riced broccoli with a balsamic reduction and baked tofu. Protein: 135g
11/29 150.2 woke up with a bit of a head cold, but the weather was lovely! I took a walk, did some a farmers carry step up and rowing workout for some cardio and then a press day for strength. I intended to do double strength today, but felt pretty sickly. Dinner was a bok choy, mushroom, soba stir fry with baked tofu. Protein: 143g
11/30 151.2 still have a cold, but it’s a minor annoyance and not a miserable bug.. Plus it’s during a stretch of 5 days off. Took a walk, did 20 minutes of KB swings, push-ups, wallballs, jump rope, lunges for cardio and then a light pull day. Dinner was spaghetti squash, mushroom, kale, leeks and seitan. Protein: 141
12/1 152.1 cold still lingering but improving. Another day in the 70’s (isn’t it December??), so I’ll take a nice walk. I’ve been double checking my recipes for accuracy since the scale hasn’t been moving but can’t find any discrepancies and I weigh everything to grams 🤷♀️ Rowing, DB snatch, sit-ups for cardio and light leg day for strength. Lunch will be leftovers as always, dinner is roasted cauliflower and chickpeas with a herbed tahini sauce and baked tofu. Protein: 131

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.

Goal for this round: Maintain weight while continuing to focus on strength training and running
Previous days12/1 122.2 pre workout. Hoping this uptick drops soon. In general I feel good though and don’t feel like my body has gotten larger. I tried on a pair of my jeans and they still fit well, so that was a good thing and made me realize that I haven’t gained in the wrong places. I got a 5.6 mile run done this morning and a strength workout on lunch.
11/28 121ish I think it was. I’m not sure if weight creep is happening or if it’s just water retention from the strength training/running at a higher level/where I’m at in my cycle/Thanksgiving splurges. This week I’m going to focus on my protein intake and reducing my sodium intake. All of the Thanksgiving leftovers are just about out of the fridge which is a good thing/I’m sick of the thought of even eating any. I indulged a little too much over the past few days with pumpkin and apple pie but that is now out of the way and I’m looking forward to having a good week.
Started the day with some toast and dandelion tea to help flush out some bloat and also upped the water. I made some cranberry sauce oat bars but have already shared half with my in-laws, had one for lunch with plain yogurt, and then froze the other 4 servings to have in the future. I find if baked goods are in the freezer, I am more likely to eat them more sporadically versus having them out. So, if I have a day where I can splurge on 400 calories (like my long run days), I will happily enjoy it. The good thing about the bars is that they are filled with healthy fats from the hazelnut meal and butter and a touch of fiber as well, so they are quite satisfying.
11/29 ? Not completely sure of my weight this morning. Ran 6 miles this morning and did my strength workout on my lunch. Food was good all day. Breakfast was toast and eggs, lunch was a protein shake plus an apple and peanut butter yogurt dip, dinner was pork tenderloin with roasted Brussel sprouts, fennel bulb and leftover fiber gourmet pasta with a touch of butter and Trader Joe’s cheesy seasoning blend. I decided that at least during the week I am going to cut a little bit of calories to slowly work my way back down to 114 over the next few months. I like that weight and know I’ll be able to get back to that point again or at least that size even if I weigh a little more because muscle takes up less space than fat… If I’m doing all this work to strength train, I would like to be able to see the definition at a leaner size. I should be able to go back to cutting 200 calories a day relatively easy on the days I strength train because I burn over 700 activity calories. Then on just my running days, I’ll cut 100-150 calories. Even with the cutting I will make sure I prioritize protein and make sure I get at least 100-120g per day.
Also will start tracking grams of protein here daily: 142g today.
11/30 121.something Feel good today. Accidentally ran longer than expected this morning clocking in at 6.8 miles because I miscalculated how far away from home I was during my run. Tomorrow will be a 5 mile run most likely. Food has been good today and I will be at 160 g of protein after I finish my chili for dinner tonight.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/28: 154.3 - I think I missed a day somewhere on the last round, but I can’t figure out where. Anyways, today’s scale reading is not surprising but disappointed in myself for portion control over the holiday weekend and the lack of higher intensity cardio workouts.
11/29: 152.8 - Back to where I was before Thanksgiving
11/30: 152.8 - Good workout and good eating yesterday, Still finishing up high calorie leftovers from our Friendsgiving, but made it work within plan.
12/01: 152.3 - Met round goal but I had a blip up right before the start of the round. Hoping to keep pushing downward before travel and other events.
