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/Previous Day’s Comment
12/8 207.8 Walked 1.1 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, shopping, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Dinner out Italian again but I ordered grilled crab cakes. Went to a play (TUTS Little Mermaid) with my sister, DD and DIL which was a nice change of pace but it was a late night.
12/9 207.5 Walked 2.8 + 1 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Healthier eating and this time I included veggies! But I’m craving and snacking on Simply Jif by the spoonful.
12/10 206.6 Walked .7 + 1.5 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Doing great with meals but my snacking is still off … Snickers and then opened a bag of Fritos after coming home from grocery store.
Pregnant DIL was in a car accident. The driver fell asleep behind the wheel at 3pm!! Didn’t even tap the brakes and ran into the back of her. He and his daughter were taken away in ambulance … he was not conscience. DIL and the baby are okay. She was wearing a Pregnancy Bump Strap so no trauma across the tummy from the seat belt! Met her doctor at the hospital for observation and to throughly check her & baby out.
Buy this for every pregnant woman in your life!

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.

I ate back some of my Spinning exercise calories last night, but still at a net deficit for CI/CO.
Two nights ago, I ate a steak at an office party that totaled a whole day’s calorie budget. Left to my own judgment, I would be fine with that. This is why I do these ten day challenges, so I can fall under your judgement. HA!

35 (F), 5’6”.
SW for this round: 204.2
GW for this round: 200.2
12/8: 205.6 To be expected! Took my Adderall break yesterday and had my morning protein shake, tried to have a bowl of cereal but it was the generic kind and yucky, two veggie samosas for lunch, and butter chicken with rice and half a piece of naan for dinner with a little ice cream afterwards. So lots of sodium! Also lots of calories I’m sure but it was sure yummy. Have leftover butter chicken and naan tonight but going to eat a smaller portion. Overslept this morning so took a smaller dose of Adderall. BP has been cooperating so far.
12/9: 204.8 Some of that sodium water exiting my system.
12/10: 204.6 This is the pace of weight loss I’m used to lol. Still think some of this is sodium induced - I’ve been eating Indian leftovers for the past two nights. It’s Friday, time to make a big push before the weekend work-wise so larger dose of Adderall today. Yikes.7 -
I'm in again. Round 170 was basically a wash for me - I lost 0.2 pounds. 🙄
I'm a 5'7" 54yo woman in SE Michigan.
I would like to consistently be at or below 158 by Christmas.
SW (this fall): 161 lbs
UGW: 145 lbs. (I'd be happy with 150 right now.)
Day/Weight/Comment (Comments will be regarding the previous day)
12/8 - 159.4 Ate OK yesterday - maybe a little too much beef rendang for dinner. Snacking happened but was not out of control. No exercise - work from 9 - 5, and then it was dark. And I was tired.
12/9 - 158.8 Yesterday was one of those days going from one thing straight to another with work, volunteer responsibilities, grocery shopping. . . I don't snack much on these days but did snack a little more in the evening. Was over WW points but still a blue dot - surprisingly. No exercise other than my daily back exercises.
12/10 - 159.2 Yesterday: ate OK. Didn't track dinner but I think it wasn't too high (chicken yassa) though the squash had a buttery/ maple syrup-y glaze. I walked with a friend for about 1.5 hours in the afternoon; my fitbit tracked ~12K steps by the end of the day. Work holiday party tonight -- Thai restaurant food. That will be a challenge. Will try to jog today - I think I'll have time.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/08: 205.7 - Alright back down after my body played an end of the round trick on me. Felt really tired this morning so it was a drag to get on the bike but just did it anyway and set another 20 minute PR. Either my cardio is improving that much or I'm getting stronger to set 3 new PRs in a week.
12/09: 204.4 - I'm guessing a lot of water in this but I also had a good day of eating yesterday and I'm just burning so many calories lately that weight is flying off (even though I'm eating plenty, including some junk). Took a 45 minute ride with my favorite instructor this morning and set a 45 minute PR tomorrow is definitely going to be active rest day because my poor legs need it!
12/10: 204.1 - Not much to say today. Very tired. Almost didn't want to work out this morning but pushed myself to do 2 rides. Secondary scale said 203.5... getting so close to 200.

8: 212.6 I've got a new goal to reach 195 by 2/22/22...the day before my birthday. Broken down into 5 pound increments, the first being the longest because of the holidays, I'd like to see 210 by December 30th. With TOM this round and Christmas next round, it might be challenging, but I intend to hold myself to it.
9: 212.2 Good day yesterday. Honestly surprised to not be seeing little gains yet, but I'll take the loss! Makes me curious what's different now though. 🤷🏽
10: 212.2 I'm gonna call this a win because I would normally definitely be gaining by now. Getting ready to hunker down for a couple days. Winter storm on the way. First we were expecting 5-12 inches of snow. Now they're saying mixed precipitation. Either way, I don't want to drive in it, so meals are planned and groceries are bought.

@SheilaBoneham I love, love, love the color. Looks great as is, but if you decide on an area rug, I look forward to another pic. This is sophisticated and befitting a writer!
@deepwoodslady Here ya go! I’ve had my eye on this rug for months, but it didn’t fit anywhere in our house until I painted my office. Voila!
@SheilaBoneham Even better with the rug! The colors really bring in hints of the furniture colors and ties it all together. I've always loved your use of color! May you find much inspiration and write a New York Best Seller from this very room!4 -

I think I was retaining water for my starting weight. My goal was to lose one pound in these 10 days, so I think I can bump that up to 2 pounds instead.

12/10 - 146.2 - Actually shocked I'm down. Homemade venison/beef burgers. Also had a small pre-dinner snack of Limburger cheese on wheat thins (Those pushed me over calories by about 100). I did cut my burger in half. Ate half with the bun, the other half without bun. Saved me some calories and helped me up protein without upping carbs anymore. Also only ate cucumber and carrots as a side. Not a single chip, either! Lunch was a frozen burrito because meetings came flooding in back to back around my normal lunch and I only had about 5 minutes to get something and stuff my face. Breakfast was alright with ham/egg/cheese english muffin. No veggies, though. Finished my NF bodyweight workout already this morning. All of NF habits good. Hoping to hit 15 hours fasting despite my workout (NF goal is 15 hours so I'm not worried if I'm below 16. Training my body to adjust to fasting while working out is a lot harder than I thought. This is why fasting fell off my radar when I was training for my 5k. Hangry was not fun). Grocery shopping today. Hopefully I can get in and out before I get too ravenous. I am pretty good about sticking to my list, though, regardless of hunger.

Previous Day's Comments12/08 - Whew, the first weigh in of the round is now over and no random uptick! Food was okay, portions were good, water was excellent. All NF habits completed. Got plenty of stretching in through the day, but checked off goal with a 6 minute morning yoga routine. My body was a bit stiff so throughout the day, I got on the floor and moved in whatever way felt comfortable. Today is 7 reverse lunges each as well as my BW workout from NF so I'll knock those out here shortly. Lots of back to back meetings again so no grocery trip today (and if the meetings hold, tomorrow either) so I have to get creative with a balanced lunch these next couple of days. Friday I'm off so can stock up for the weekend and next week.
12/09 - Scale was making rash decisions this morning. Before I could even get both feet settled on it, it had settled on 146.2. I was not confident so I let it cycle through off and on, tried again. Another rash decision. With only one foot on the scale (the other hovering as I was in the process of stepping from floor to scale) 148.6. Okaaaaay, not even ON the scale. Finally, it acted normal and gave me 2 back to back readings (that took the normal couple of seconds to register) of 146.7. Well then. Today is rest day for NF. QFit wants me to do 9 staircases but I don't have any staircases around that are accessible to me/open to the public (or part of a state park in which you have to schedule a reservation and pay for). All habits good yesterday, water was good. Food was much much better with veggies in all 3 meals. I know dinner is homemade hamburgers at Fam's again tonight and I also know they usually leave me feeling horribly full and the scale jumping up the next day. Will be sure to plan around that with breakfast and lunch as well as eat slower tonight and be mindful of portion size.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/07 …..190.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/08 …..190.4 ….. (Trend weight 189.6) I’m a hot mess. Now I’ve ran my glucose up and I am feeling like sheer crap on top of it all. I’m making changes today to get to a better place. More paperwork and business for my brother is due today. I don’t even feel like I can raise a pencil to paper! It’s the food choices.
12/09 …..190.4 ….. Trend weight 189.7) Same weight for 3 days in a row but my trend weight is creeping up 0.1 each and every day. I still haven’t made the changes I need to. I am not eating my meals proper, then I’m snacking too much at night turning snacks into meals. Cravings are all over the place. Back and forth from salt to sweet. Glucose numbers still up, even with new meds. I am not even giving them a chance to work. Self-sabotage is putting it mildly. I promise myself everyday that it will change today, and then I begin the tasks for my brother’s death and I either lean on food for comfort, or I get to busy to plan for success. I suppose the first part of success and change is recognition, so here I am standing at the confessional podium. Better planning is next and success (while currently elusive) is mine to take.
12/10 …..189.8 ….. (Trend weight 189.4) I ate better yesterday and kept my snacks to sugar-free items. I still haven’t started Christmas shopping and you all know how far I am from ANY stores. I hope to do a little shopping online today, we are expecting another bad winter storm. We’ve had over 12” of snow in the past couple of days. I am still working on decorating with my handyman’s help. It’s hard to get in the spirit. I’m hanging on by the skin of my teeth here, please continue to be patient with me, my friends.

12/8 205.4 (-1.0) Swam yesterday. I swim an hour of laps and my time is faster. I swam 100 yards averaging 4’14”. When I started swimming in July, it took me 10’52”. Today is no organized exercise. My son flies in tomorrow for a long weekend. Can’t wait to see him!
12/9 205.0 (-1.4) A busy day today, but I plan to swim in between everything on my schedule. Eating and exercise will probably be a little off with company over the weekend, but I’m planning to stay on track with the exception of one indulgence meal.
12/10 206 (-.4) I was hungry yesterday and polished off some salted roasted almonds last night. I felt a little nauseous afterwards. I did not get my swimming in which would have helped. I’m heading to Lion King tonight with my son and his friends and we are going out to dinner before the show. That will be my indulgence meal, so there will be more of a bump tomorrow.

Taking my daughter (17) for her first vaccine today, 1 hour in the car each way, we'll probably stop off at the garden centre on the way back and go to the cafe, buy a special tree ornament and maybe a holly wreath. OH is away for a few nights so we can binge on tacky Christmas movies and decorate the house a bit. I just need to clean it first, blah. Not all girly stuff though, we're gonna watch the grand prix tomorrow. Mercedes F1 is based in our little town so it's the law that we watch it!
That sounds identical to what my mom and I would do! A few crafty/girly things and then we'd both go full tomboy mode. I miss those days2 -

Pregnant DIL was in a car accident. The driver fell asleep behind the wheel at 3pm!! Didn’t even tap the brakes and ran into the back of her. He and his daughter were taken away in ambulance … he was not conscience. DIL and the baby are okay. She was wearing a Pregnancy Bump Strap so no trauma across the tummy from the seat belt! Met her doctor at the hospital for observation and to throughly check her & baby out.
Buy this for every pregnant woman in your life!

I'd be far far more concerned about you if you weren't around. You've proven your strength and determination so many times during the rounds I've been here (and I'm sure many more times prior to me joining and during my long absence). I have every ounce of faith in you to pull through and come out stronger. 7 -

Okay, back on track and determined to get out of the 80s for good this round, holidays or no! I’m still working on my office (have a rug in mind for to open space and I’m looking for a small cabinet) but here’s the new color. I love the change in the feel of the room.

Ugh, I ate too much yesterday. I can’t seem to stifle myself. But I’m off in a few minutes for a dog walk with a friend and she’s usually up for a nice long one. Gotta bundle up!

Hello! This is Round 3 for me. 60F, 5' 3.5". I'm pretty good with following my calories/day allotment and exercising most days (5-6/wk). I lift weights, cardio, stretching, and PT exercises as part of my exercise routine. Good luck everyone!
Round goal: 139.0
End-of-year goal: 140 lbs
End of Feb goal (vacation): 135 lbs, UGW
SW: 140.9
Day/Weight/Comment
12/8 140.9 Another hike in my favorite park yesterday. Last time, a few days back, it was in the 60's. Yesterday, it was in the 40's (and sunny in Colorful Colorado!). I wore leggings and jeans, 2 pairs of socks, 2 shirts, 2 sweatshirts, and a knit hat, lol! I have never hiked in that much clothing before! It worked out well. I thought I would have to wrap one sweatshirt around my waist partway through, but didn't because it was a bit windy. I realized that I did not state a Round goal yesterday, so I added that to my other goals above. Today, I am going to a lunch at a restaurant with a number of ladies and have scoped out the menu online and figured out my calories for the day to keep within my allotment. We'll see how that works. Have a wonderful day, everyone.
12/9. 141.1. OK, for the last six days or so, I've been fairly level with my weight, ever so slightly ticking up. I have been tolerating it, but today, I'm starting to become less tolerant. Yesterday, I went out to lunch and ate more for that meal (~725 calories as opposed to the more typical ~400 calories), and went over ~225 calories for the day. I almost always stay within my allotted amount, so I thought this would be totally ok. And it is, but I am still displeased, lol! It's all good. I'll continue following my calories and my exercise routine...
12/10 140.8. Much better

Hi, I’m Karen and am in my 50’s.
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
GW-150
12/8-166-I just want to get to 164 this round. DH went fishing, so we had trout for dinner. Soup supper at church tonight, hopefully I can play my cards right and avoid any bread. I want to get a bike ride and horse ride in today.
12/9-DNW-The soup was salty and I ate 2 small pieces of bread. My friend’s quilt top arrived yesterday early and I wanted to get it quilted so I can mail it back today. I normally do not quilt for other people, but I wanted to help her out. Luckily, it was fast and easy. Rain today.
12/10-168-Homemade chicken vegetable soup, must have been the salt. Sunny today, lots to do.7 -

@Loseitnotkeepit Not to discourage you but losing several pounds quickly is usually water weight. Be sure you drink plenty of water.2

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.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable but I’ve been doing it for over 4 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

12/8 117.5 Chocolate Tres Leches Cake - MEH. Friend brought it from Texas because she thinks it wonderful.
12/9 118.0 Edited yesterday’s post. Appointments with the retina specialist today. The pinched nerve and arthritis in my neck has been bothering me for several days. Not an excuse, just a diary entry because I save all of my posts.
12/10 117.0 Community Arts and Crafts luncheon today. Brown bag lunch and shared desserts. I’m making my always popular high carb brownies. They smell sooo good!9
