Day/Weight/Comment
1/7: 189 Eating was ok yesterday, but a bit higher calorie as I was finishing up some leftovers. Not much activity though.
1/8: 188.2 Food was pretty good but did have a couple drinks at the end of the day. Also still not getting much activity. Hopefully can work on that this weekend.
1/9: 188 Was hoping Iβd have a bigger water weight whoosh at the beginning of this round, but itβs looking like I might already be in the slower moving phase. Oh well, Iβm the only one responsible for where Iβm at right now. Eating was alright yesterday, but still struggling on the activity front.
1/10: 188.8 Ugh no explanation for the uptick but hoping itβs just temporary. Made a yummy soup yesterday and got out to walk, despite the cold rain, to get over 9k steps.
1/11: 187.4 Was feeling munchy all day yesterday so was hard to stay on track. Did still manage to keep close to my calories though. Hoping for a good day today.
1/12: 186.2 Was not expecting this. Was over calories yesterday, though still under maintenance. Started stress eating in the afternoon, but managed to reign it in and avoid completely blowing the day. Feeling extra hungry this morning too, so weβll see how today goes.
1/13: 186.6 Feeling in a bit of a funk. Yesterday was ok (under maintenance), but not great food-wise.
1/14: 187.6 No explanation for the uptick. Hoping to see it go back down before the end of the round.
1/15: 186.2 Glad to see the scale back down today and happy I resisted getting take-out for dinner yesterday after a stressful day. Off to get a haircut today so hoping that puts me in a good mood for the day.
1/16: 186.6 Kept on track yesterday and went for a nice walk so a little disappointed this wasnβt a drop this morning, but at least I made some progress this round. On to the next!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/07 - 147 - I am going to hold myself accountable and log every piece of food I eat this weekend.
01/08 - 147
01/09 - 148.5
01/10 - 150.5 - I had a lot of sodium this weekend, but Wow!
01/11 - 150 - I was hoping yesterday's weight was an anomaly, but evidently not. I'm just going to have to stick to my eating plan.
01/12 - 149 - I've done well the past couple days with eating and movement.
01/13 - 149 - I am really shocked that I evidently gained 2 pounds last weekend. I kept hoping there would be a whoosh back to 147 or so this week. I'll keep logging my food and doing my best to get back to maintenance. I'm a little disheartened, but I've been doing this for almost 4 years and it is worth it.
01/14 - 149.5 - I have logged every bite this week, so I know the weight bump is not from what I've been eating. Sigh.
01/15 - 148 - We had pizza last night, so I pulled out the food scale to get the exact weight and nutrition on my serving. I kept within all my macros and calories so if the scale went up today, I'd know it was just water weight. I'll do the same today in case my weight bumps up tomorrow.
01/16 - 147 - I am happy to be at my starting weight after this week. See you next round!

1/7- 200.4 (-.6) Ohhh! I thought today might be the day. I did swim yesterday, but it was after lunch and I felt so sluggish. I usually swim after a light breakfast. Still, despite the frigid weather, I did it and was really proud of myself. Fridays are usually the day I have my indulgence meal for the week. Lunch with a friend was cancelled so I may not. I havenβt decided yet. Just so closeβ¦
1/8- 200.2 (-.8) Argh! I stayed focused yesterday but was still disappointed. I will have my indulgence meal today, so this will bump up again before the next downward slide. Trusting the process.
1/9- 201.8 (+.8) I had my indulgence meal and enjoyed every bit of it. Iβm back on track today and hope to be under 200# later this week.
1/10- 201.2 (+.2) Dropping back down after my indulgence meal. No organized exercise today. I did go to Orange Theory yesterday. Still thrilled with how strong Iβm getting after swimming and hiking so much.
1/11- 201.2 (+.2) Expecting a whoosh soon. Iβll be swimming today and getting back into my art studio.
1/12- 199.6 (-1.4) Woohoo! Happy dancing and burning extra calories here in Colorado. No organized exercise todayβ¦painting with friends. Iβve really focused on getting my water in the last few days and I think that made a big difference.
1/13- 200.2 (-.8) I know itβs going to bounce back a forth a bit before settling below 200#. I am a little disappointed, but on a downward trend. Today is swimming and painting.
1/14- 199.6 (-1.4) Had a great swim yesterday. Today Iβm meeting a friend for lunch so Iβll be having my indulgence meal. Another bounce up is in my future. My weight loss has definitely slowed since Christmas and my plan is to tighten up my logging and stay focused on my exercise. I took a week long maintenance break the beginning of October. It was really helpful. I may consider doing another one in February just as a reset.
1/15- 200.2 (-.8) I enjoyed lunch with my friend yesterday and had a really busy day running errands and painting. I got so much done. Iβm back on track today, getting all my water. Iβll be out walking with the dogs as it warms up. Tomorrow is Orange Theory andβ¦the last day of this challenge. How did that happen?
1/16- 200.0 (-1.0) Ended up the challenge with a loss, which is fabulous. This next challenge, I really want to stay focused and get back losing a bit more per week.

Round 174
Please join us! Starting on 01/07 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 174
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.

01/07 163.5 ~ {Steps 15,529} ~ Taking one day a time, meditation in the mornings have definitely helped.
01/08 162.6 ~ {Steps 13,452} ~ Today started out rough, getting up early donβt help. The gym session totally helped my mood, woot hoot.

01/10 163.3 ~ {Steps 14,059} ~ Woot hoot a much better day. A yoga session helped last night too.

01/12 164.5 ~ {Steps 15,228} ~ I donβt understand the gain, my sodium was low and spot on in my diet, π’π’ Today was a extremely busy day, organizing Xmas decorations, getting spare bedroom/workout organized, made whole wheat zucchini muffins. Also I did make time for some yoga a strength training.
01/13 162.9 ~ {Steps 16,374} ~ Successful day even though my husband wasnβt in the best mood, of course itβs my fault, NOT, lol
01/14 162.5 ~ {Steps 16,564} ~ another rough morning but staying focus was the key. The weather was nice so it helped getting a couple walks in for Pete and Parker. I WILL CONTINUE TO remember I have no control of other people actions.
01/15 162.5 ~ {Steps 16,234 } ~ Today was a successful day, we went out to dinner at our favorite restaurant βBlack Bear Dinerβ. I did only eat half, bringing home some for breakfast.

Oopsβwent a little nuts last night. The cold weather makes me crave fats & carbs! Back with a plan today. I just spent 20 min out throwing balls for Roryβitβs 7F (-14C) feels like -8 (-22). Bracing!
1/08 - 179.4, 178.6
Last minute dinner at friendsβ place last night threw a big wrench in my tidy calorie plan. Fun, though! So hopefully back on track today. We got up late, so with late breakfast I may skip lunch, and dinner is planned. Now if I can get back to not snackingβ¦. Off to brave the cold βRory is full of beans and needs a good run.
1/09 - 179.2, 178.7
Time lag. Yesterday was barely over calorie goal, and today is planned. Iβm making vegetarian mulligatawny soup for dinnerβyummy. Enjoy your Sunday, everyone!

Brrr. βοΈπ¨π¨ Otoh, the soup was really delishβDH went back for thirds! Everything restarts todayβdoggy school for Rory, a writing class Iβm teachingβso Iβm hoping that will leave less time to sit around and munch. π Iβll miss dinner tonight for Roryβs class, so Iβm making salmon patties and roasted sweet potatoes for lunch. That should hold me. Stay warm, those of you in the frigid zone!

I think Iβll make Mondays & Tuesdays very low-cal days for the next 8 weeksβRory has classes at dinner time Mon and lunch time Tues, so if I can just skip those mealsβ¦. I did fine last night. Weβll see how it goes.

Ok, two very low calorie days in a row, and today is planned, so hoping for a drop tomorrow.

Aww, come on. Otoh, I did have popcorn and ice cream yesterday. But calories were below target! π

Day/Weight/Comment
01/06 β¦..194.0β¦.. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/07 β¦..192.6 β¦.. (Trend weight 191.9) Diet was about the same but I did get in some more housework type movement. Flooring is very close to being done. Today should be the final day. I worked on packing away Christmas items in some limited areas during the work. That calorie burn clearly made the difference today on the scale.
01/08 β¦..191.2 β¦.. Trend weight 191.9) Continued progress which I am grateful for. Again, I did not make any major dietary changes (Iβve been keeping it pretty good under the circumstances), but more movement as I continued to work on Christmas dΓ©cor and replacing it back with my usual stuff. Floor is 95% done with only some minor work such as moulding replacement etc. to be done. Today my handyman will finish and then begin helping with the Christmas work. Two trees should come down today. I woke up STARVING. I am going to try to stick to some high protein choices and some healthy fat to fill up my belly.
01/09 β¦..192.2 β¦.. (Trend weight 191.9) Very nice well-planned meals yesterday. Binge on snacks last night. The uptick is my own fault. Iβll do better today.
01/10 β¦..194.4 β¦.. (Trend weight 192.1)A ton of company unexpected last night. Pizza for dinner. Huge leap on the scale. Pushing water today.
01/11 β¦..192.6 β¦.. (Trend weight 192.2) Strange. I ate the exact same food as the day before. Same breakfast, same lack of lunch and the same amount of pizza (leftovers) and this time I lost instead of gained. No difference in TMI and no difference in exercise. Hmph. I hope the leftovers donβt catch up to me and wreak havoc again! Dining room getting painted. Heβs been working on it a couple of days. Itβs looking good and may be completed by today. Itβs another temporary project to update things until the full kitchen / diningroom reno.
01/12 β¦..192.6 β¦.. (Trend weight 192.2) No change but it was a very reasonable day.
01/13 β¦..192.8 β¦.. (Trend weight 192.3) Normal fluctuation on the scale today. A day of travel today for building supplies. Dinner will be out.
01/14 β¦..194.0 β¦.. (Trend weight 192.5) The result of the travel, Chinese, and less water and movement than usual. Iβll work on a better day but it will be difficult. Expecting a house full including the handyman that brings his wife and son. Ugh!
01/15 β¦..194.6 β¦.. (Trend weight 192.7) Leftovers very late after everyone left. This is spinning out of control. I must take charge. Good thing: Leftovers gone and stocking is empty too.
01/16 β¦..193.8 β¦.. (Trend weight 192.8) I am a smidge below starting weight so technically I made goal this round. However, around Oct 21 I had worked very hard to find myself at 185.2. I am still 7.4 pounds up since just before my surgery and the holidays. I have some work to do just to get back to that point, but Iβm up for the challenge. Renovations in dining room are complete and has now moved to temporary ones in the living room that will likely last a few weeks. At least the kitchen is complete (for now) and perhaps I can plan better. Tonight I am making dinner for the crew as a special treat. I will watch my pβs & qβs.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

01/07: 193Β lbs (-0.8)
Going for 2 pounds this round. It's been below freezing, snowy and dark and it's harder to get out for long walks, but I'm staying in the lower end of my calories range, so doable.
01/08: 193.4 lbs (+0.4)
I'm totally OK with a slight bump up. Yesterday was a semi-rest day. Back at it today!
01/09:Β 194.4 lbs (+1.0)
Ugh. Bad choices yesterday and severely lacked water. Not happy about posting this but I need to be accountable.
01/10: 194.8 lbs (+0.4)
Out of control. Gotta stop the free fall. Bad weekend, too much junk and not enough exercise.
01/11:Β 194.6 lbs (-0.2)
Well, right direction at least! Not throwing in the towel just yet.
01/12: 193.2 lbs (-1.4)
Phew! Almost back down to before weekend weight. Gotta be more careful on days out if I want to reach my goal.
01/13:Β 192.4 lbs (-0.8)
Wow, last weekends eating out must have had WAY more sodium than I thought. Down 2.8 pounds in 3 days HAS to be water retention. Good workouts and plenty of water this week helped a ton.
01/14: 192.2 lbs (-0.2)
Expected to be up today but I'll take it. Hoping it doesn't jump up at the end of the round. Happy Friday everyone!
01/15:Β 190.6 lbs (-1.6)
That is SUPER unexpected. Can't explain the drop. Guess my body really is a wonderland!
01/16: 190.2 lbs (-0.4)
Wow. Good workout and water yesterday. My brain is still having trouble processing that my weight doesn't start with a 2 even though I've been under 200 for almost a month! Maybe it will catch up when I cross the 190 mark. See you all next round!

1/07: 148.6 - Had a few extra bites since I was hungry, but stayed within my calories. Aerobics workout and 3 mile walk.
1/08: 148.4 - Iβve been eating back about half of my exercise calories, but the scale seems to be reflecting maintenance. Perhaps my logging isnβt accurate. These last 15 pounds are tough.

1/11: 147.7 - Good workout plus an extra walk and ate within calories.
1/12: 147.3 - Normal exercise, but only a small walk. Ate back exercise calories.
1/13: 147.3 - Worked out and then did a nature walk at a State Park. Did not drink enough water though.
1/14: 147.3 - Ate just slightly under calories since I wasnβt hungry. Made sure to drink enough water today and did my normal workout.
1/15: 146.8 - Happy to see a small drop. Hoping it holds.

01/07 208.6 Well not starting out well at all. Did do day # 7 on the workout video.
01/08 208.8 I gotta quit eating that darn bread. Positive thing today is that I did get in another workout #8.
01/09 207.6 No bread! Controlled snacks! Go in extra walking yesterday. Itβs amazing what happens when you try.
01/10 206.6 Wow!! What?! Iβll take it. The scale was wonky this morning so itβs probably wrong but we will see tomorrow. The thought today is Discipline. I need to be disciplined in food choices, water and exercise. Got in more walking yesterday so will try that again today. Also did my workout this morning #10.
01/11 206.6 Yay, yesterday was not a fluke. Ate well and exercised. Today Iβve already got in #11 workout and itβs getting easier.
01/12 206.4 Another good day. #12 low impact workout done.
01/13 206.4 Very tired today because I didnβt sleep well last night. Having some pain issues today but I did do my low impact workout.
01/14 204.4 Wow! I didnβt expect that. I somehow picked up an intestinal bug, we always where masks when out so maybeI didnβt wash some produce well enough. Donβt know but not feeling the best. I still did my workout. Didnβt eat much but what I did was high in calories.
01/15 204.6 Feeling a little better. Still eating cautiously. Did my workout this morning #15. Hooray for me!
01/16 204.6 I had a few snacks yesterday. Slowly feeling better but need not to eat mindlessly. Did workout #16. Best round for me so far, kinda cheated with sickness but hopefully weight will stay down.7 -
@200Karen @IsMollyReallyHungry and others Thank you for your prayers. She was admitted to the hospital, is getting fluids, food and antibiotics. She was feeling somewhat better yesterday afternoon although still weak and tired. Please continue to pray. And THANK YOU π π
@JenKindo Like you βhaving trouble processingβ the 1 on the scale, a dear friend told me I was βtinyβ for over a year before I saw a reflection of myself and thought it was someone staring at me. Last summer on my 4 year keto/LCHF anniversary my daughter took the picture of me which is on the right of my profile pic. I still have problems thinking of myself as tiny but getting better. Itβs definitely a head game!5 -

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Donβt stay away, stay accountable. We donβt 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 isnβt sustainable but Iβve been doing it for over 4 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. Itβs a LIFESTYLE.

She was taken to the hospital (sheβs COVID + with heart and lung issues) and now βCovid pneumoniaβ - I wonder if they checked a sample and determined it is viral pneumonia not bacterial. She thought she had bronchitis and asked the doctor for antibiotics which he denied. Said via tele-appointment that he was sure she had COVID and to rest and βwait it out!β Iβm infuriated with the doctor and his apparent nonchalance and her 60 year old daughter is quite upset by this too. If you are a praying person, please do.

1/16 - 146.8 - Just bouncing back and forth. I haven't been great about eating. Hopefully this week things will calm down and I can refocus a little better without so many sudden unexpected changes that force me to make decisions when I'm hungry or in a hurry. Workout done yesterday. Walked around a ton at the estate sale. Today is more of a lazy day though I was up early since BF got guilt-tripped into going hunting so I'm rather sleepy anyway.
Previous Day's Comments1/07 - Body is still holding on to some bloat, but I'm still dropping which I'm happy about. Today is rest day. I also have 2 doc appointments (1 in person women's health, 1 virtual) and apparently we are looking at a house this afternoon. Dinner was corned beef and cabbage chowder which I have plenty of leftovers for today. Between appointments and all, I may stop by the store to grab something for dinner tonight I can make.
1/08 - Not quite enough water, ate out (looking at house took longer than expected and we stopped to check out a local place in the area we didn't know about. It's super adorable, 100% want to visit again), and TMI not quite there. Today is air fryer wings for lunch (I may have a couple plain wings but eat more of that corned beef cabbage chowder). Dinner will be either stuffed pepper soup or homemade chicken and dumplings, depending on how BF work goes (he makes the chicken&dumplings). Workout due today but he has full schedule so I have time to procrastinate. Woke up suuuuuper early for no reason and feeling it so giving myself grace when it comes to energy levels. It's a rainy dreary morning here and quite chilly. Definitely taking this as my lazy day to relax and maybe read more of my book. Unfortunately it's an e-book, but I've had to sacrifice my paper books for sake of space. This house we looked at has built in shelving for books and I LOVE it. My current mini-library is full of mixed media. Some books in a series are paper while others I've had to contend with electronic versions. Drives me batty! (And yes, for those books I love, I'm THAT girl who will buy the paper copy of it even though I already bought the e-book of it. I always wanted a library!) Plus, paper copies are just so much more intimate for me. Mom (who is an author and the reason I'm a book nerd) thinks I'm crazy and has no idea where I get so many particularities with books from. It's not her, so long as it's a book, she's happy, regardless of the medium. Dad's not a book person. I'm also the girl who will very carefully read a paperback as to not crease the spine. And holy moly, do not dog ear or bend pages or write in them, I will LOSE IT. Unless I get secondhand books, of course. Then it's character teehee. Wish I had a secondhand book store here.
1/09 - Interesting. I feel less bloated and lighter today. I was excited to see what the scale said and, surprise surprise! An increase. I'm not worried about it, I'm just happy FEELING lighter, but I was shocked. Dinner this weekend was switched. Work allows Fam and BF some opportunity to get together so we had dinner there last night (smothered pork chops with rice and collard greens) and today we will head over for wings. I've got to get a list together to shop for at least 2 dinners this week and lunch for me. We will have chicken & dumplings and stuffed pepper soup during the week, but need 2 more dinners. Think I'll make myself taco salad for the week and if it's not enough, I'll take dinner leftovers (I mainly need something for tomorrow since I won't have leftovers from Fam)
1/10 - Water back up to normal. Food wasn't the greatest, but not the worst (wings and fries with leftovers for today. Added in some veggies for lunch as well). Tired this morning, for the first time in my life (that I wasn't horribly sick) that I remember, I slept through my alarms. I was so exhausted apparently. My final alarm was the absolutely latest I could wake up and be on time. I spent less time getting ready and gave myself a few minutes to do ground work (pushups, planks) for today's Nerd Fitness workout. I have lunges and rows to knock out at work. Thinking of waiting until the after lunch slump to do those to get my body moving and blood flowing. Hopefully it will keep me from dozing or zoning out. Dinner tonight is chicken & dumplings, BF is attempting to make my dumplings since I'm not home to do it. Leftover will be tomorrow's lunch.
1/11 - Leftover wings (plain) and added steamable veggies for lunch. Plus a banana as "dessert". Dinner was homemade chicken & dumplings. BF successfully made the dumplings! Go him! Water on track, too. Workout was completed during that after lunch slump and worked well. I'm back working from home today due to high covid positive numbers within the company (it's worse than the first round when noone quite knew what to do) and my work this week is all meetings so why go in? Today is leftover chicken & dumplings for lunch and I'll make my stuffed pepper soup for dinner.
1/12 - Likely a dip because I only got in about 60oz water yesterday. I was absent-minded about it due to focusing on work, cooking dinner, and getting house paperwork completed. Whew. Even forgot to eat lunch! I did have a later breakfast, though, so it really counted as an early lunch for me I suppose. Leftover chicken&dumplings or stuffed pepper soup for lunch and I'm not sure of dinner yet. BF said he'd make something up from what we have in the house. Workout due today for NFJourney. All other habits good. Busy busy day, lots of work meetings. Will take a trip to the next town over to pay escrow and option fee today between meetings/over lunch.
1/13 - I'm alright with this, I got my water back up to normal and expected a bump up with that. Last of the chicken & dumplings leftovers for lunch, steak, air-fried "baked" potato, green beans, and steak for dinner. Completed my workout yesterday and packed some of my "extra" stuff I don't need between now and summer (shorts, tanks, swimsuit, my ever-packed beach bag, etc) and my paper books (since I'm currently reading a series on e-book). Not sure dinner tonight, but lunch I'll likely have the leftover stuffed pepper soup. Possibly start packing little stuff from kids' rooms. Our dilemma is whether anything can be tossed now or if we pack it all and make them unpack/purge themselves at the new house. May pack some of our less-used kitchenware today/tomorrow as well. I'm off tomorrow and Monday (while BF works) so I'll have to leave some things for myself to do on those days
1/14 - Feel and look slimmer today, but the scale wants to play games. That's alright. Dinner was a last-minute invite over to Fam's and we had scallop and shrimp alfredo pasta. I skipped the garlic bread (gasp! that's usually my favorite part). Likely why I'm up, though. But I'll take the slimmer look and lighter feel I have waking up this morning. Water was good as well. Not sure tonight, at all, but I imagine we will be at Fam's again for dinner. They're worried this new house is about 30 minutes from where they are now and almost an hour from their land (where they plan to start building their house this year) so we won't hang out as much. Today before I break my fast I have to go get blood drawn in the next town over. I'm not looking forward to that. I need to sneak in my NF workout today somewhere. I'll try to do ground work here as soon as I post and catch up on reading everyone's updates.
1/15 - Not bad for eating out. BF had no ideas for dinner, Fam wanted to go out, and he wanted out of the house. I'm happy with my choices, ate until I was feeling satisfied but not overly full, and enjoyed being outside next to the fire they had. Apparently I didn't check the "Resting" box on Thursday so yesterday was another "rest day" but I did pack the daughter's room and lifted heavy boxes so it wasn't a complete loss. I remembered to check the "resting" box so it'll allow the journey to move forward today to do my NF workout. A daughter of the owner's of the house (who passed away) reached out to us and said how wonderful it was to have veterans move into her parents home as her dad was also a disabled veteran and, like BF, a purple heart recipient. He was in the Korean war. She was suuuuper sweet and it made my heart melt. She lives in Louisiana, but she said her sister, who lives local, is hosting an estate sale today so we are going to attend that and see what there is (plus another look at the house since our agent's anniversary is this weekend and can't bring us to see it now that the general inspection is complete). I thought you all would appreciate such a lovely interaction. Guess our personal letter with the offer really helped!

bold means I dropped by half a cm.
Plugging these into my spreadsheet I get a trendline of 106.2 down to 104.8 cm
Eating: I had a few days when I had a splurge, but I'm doing alright. My average intake since 1st Jan is about 250 kJ above what it should be, that's recoverable in a few days or so.
Exercise: I went for a run only on two days, and managed 8 minutes one day, and 2 the other (I must have been quite tired). I had a headache one day, so I could have run for 9 days. Sadly I didn't.
Sugar: I had sugar 7 days this round, way too often.
Weight loss: I'm losing about 0.35 kg per round right now, not a lot. At the current rate it's going to take about 27 months to lose it all.

**************************************
1/07 141.0 (trend 143.2) Nice to not start a new round on a bounce up for once. Still not managing much activity as I have too much to do at home. I'll try and get out for a walk this weekend. Not having too many cravings which is a surprise after 2 weeks of solid junk food, the only thing I'm missing is my morning coffee which I'm trying to cut out for a while and stick to green tea.
It's my daughter's 18th birthday today, she's my only child so it's a big day for me too. She's now an adult (apparently) which feels very strange. 18yrs as a single parent, we both survived, whoohoo!
1/08 140.8 (trend 142.9) Had a bit of a binge last night, I was bored, hubby is spending the weekend at a mate's, daughter was out at a bar enjoying her new 18yr old status... had a few chocolates and too many salty crackers. Still a loss today but maybe it'll affect me tomorrow.
1/09 141.8 (trend 142.7) As expected, a bounce back up. Also had a very sedentary day yesterday, which didn't help
1/10 140.6 (trend 142.5) A good day, got a lot done in the kitchen reno. I've realised I'm not a strong as I was before I started my weight loss last summer, struggling to lift heavy things on my own. Maybe it's partly because being 40lbs lighter I don't have the weight to counterbalance things with any more although there's definitely some muscle loss and I'm feeling more 'delicate' than I used to. I tend to put on muscle quite easily so could start lifting, used to really enjoy body pump classes but I had visible pecs, large traps, veiny arms and chunky thighs which I didn't like.
1/11 140.4 (trend 142.2)
1/12 139.4 (trend 141.8) Below round goal weight, yay!
1/13 141.0 (trend 141.7) Really bouncing around this round. Had a big meal last night with wine so this uptick is not unexpected but a bit disappointing. Need to catch up with reading everyone's posts from the last few days, pg 8-13
1/14 139.6 (trend 141.4) haven't been logging my food, need to get back in the habit
1/15 140.0 (trend 141.2)
1/16 142.2 (trend 141.4) Big ol gain due to an unplanned but delicious burger and chips, whoops! Not a great round for me, I'm good for a couple of days, then blow it, sigh.8 -

Round 174 (106th for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.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.SW: 138

Day/Weight/Comment
01/07 138 β I need to take control again now. I have looked back over the last few years and this is a pattern, I don't do too bad over Christmas and then relax/go mad after New Year! So today is a new round and a new start, I need to get back at it & make each day count β easy to say, not so easy to execute!! 9.98 miles walked yesterday.
01/08 136.8 β that's better! Amazing what happens when I stick to plan, calories & macros well under & NO chocolate, not even a crumb; wouldn't even allow myself to enter the room where it is !!! Just need to stay consistent now for next 9 days. 10.21 miles walked yesterday.
01/09 137 β 9.07 miles walked yesterday. High carb day as Saturday is always pizza night in our house, but only 4 calories over & no chocolate. Today will be a challenge as we travel up to our DD to celebrate her birthday and I know birthday cake will be involved!! But I will keep it small.
01/10 137 β no walking or exercise yesterday, but a wonderful day with DD, DS & their families, good playing with little DGC. Not the best food choices ! Need to counteract today to try to prevent it showing on the scales tomorrow !
01/11 137 β 11.14 miles walked yesterday, good food choices, calories & all macros well in credit. My Fitbit is on it's way out - a few months ago the face cracked and now its only syncing & retaining a few activities. Luckily, it is counting my steps and mileage, but then not retaining it past midnight of that day, looks like I need to invest in a new one; I don't like change and see that the Charge HR is no longer available so it looks like I will be forced to have an updated model!
01/12 138 β 9.22 miles, a high carb & fat day yesterday, after walk went to my sisters new bungalow to help her decorate; 5 hours painting, up and down ladders. She provided lunch; cheese & biscuits followed by cake.
01/13 138 β 13.1 miles walked & an hour of yoga. Within calories, fat 11g over. New Fitbit to be delivered tomorrow !
01/14 137.2 β 9.72 miles walked yesterday. Calories under, carbs & fat 8g & 9g over respectively.
01/15 136.2 β 11.11 miles walked yesterday. Calories within limit, fat 6g over. New Fitbit arrived yesterday late afternoon, spent evening charging & setting up, recumbent on my wrist now, lets see how it goes. DH wore my old one last night, but didn't like the fact that his heart rate is a good 15 minutes or so faster than mine!! I'm guessing that is why his metabolism is so much faster than mine!!!
01/16 136.2 β 11.11 miles walked yesterday, good choices; calories & all macros well under. Finally got myself under control by the end of the round, 1.4 pounds lost since end of last, sounds good, but I had gained 2 pounds in the previous round, so not as good as it seems. At least I'm back on the straight and narrow, now to stay on the path!! Still getting to grips with new Fitbit, does lots more things, it's just remembering how to access them all etc.!!
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE. Keep calm β Covid is still out there take care, we're still in this together!

Hi, Iβm Karen and am in my 50βs.
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
GW-149
1/7-169-Rode the horse, walked 5 miles and quilted. Long day of work today, so I made a sensible lunch.
1/8-168-Another long day of work and Iβll take a good lunch. Walked with the horse yesterday so we both could get some steps in and he does not walk as fast as I do as we slog through the powdery dirt of the arena. We will try it again today before work.
1/9-169-Walked a mile with the horse, and got ready for work. I work in a quilt shop and I sew samples for the shop. While I was sitting and sewing, my hip got a terrible knot in it. Pretty soon, I was limping around the shop while helping customers. When I got home and told my husband about it, we figured out it was my sciatic nerve. I guess walking in the deep arena dirt/sand is a little too much.......π
1/10-DNW-Had been doing stretches and then went to chiropractor yesterday and feel 90% better.
1/11-168-Still not ready to do long power walk, but I have figured out to ride the horse lightly. Need to take MIL to Dr. then work a little.
1/12-167-Back to chiropractor, then quilting and horse somewhere in there, Iβll gradually start walking longer distances again.
1/13-166-Made turkey meatball soup, the carrots are the only carbs. I love the fire roasted/garlic canned tomatoes for soup. Worked with the horse and also went for a light ride. Have a quilt I need to finish.
1/14-166-A coffee truck is scheduled to be at DHβs work this morning, so Iβm making a couple dozen cinnamon rolls for him to take. Nice horse ride. Still need to finish quilt.
1/15-166-
1/16-DNW-Went to a church bingo night and was served more bread and noodles than I normally eat in a month. I even drank protein powder in milk before we went because I figured there would be lack of protein. It was fun to gather and laugh and have a good visit with family and friends. Got a walk in, horse is next and quilting after that.6 -

7: 204.4 Holding steady. I'm good with this. Pre-TOM weight gains haven't started, or they at least aren't showing up on the scale.
8: 203.8 Pleasantly surprised. Carbs, calories, water were all great yesterday. Just anticipating those little gains that used to be so normal for this time of the month.
9: 204.5 Calories and macros were good yesterday. Cramps today, so fairly certain this is pre-TOM weight. Will be gone in a couple days.
10: 204.6 Hormones. No worries. It'll be back down soon.
11: 204.5 Had a hard time falling asleep last night. Took kids to school and took a 3-hour nap when I got home. Weighed again after because I was curious...202.7. Makes me think the drop after TOM actually starts might be a significant one.
12: 203.5
13: 201.9 At this point, I have no idea what's going on. Lol
Still no TOM, yet weight is dropping as if it had started. π€·π½
14: 202.3 Started taking naproxen yesterday because now that I haven't gotten (and nearly ended) TOM by the weekend, I'd rather not have it over the weekend. So far, so good.

Iβm 5β7, 29 years old, female. I follow a lifting
program and would like to decrease my body fat while maintaining muscle mass.
My starting weight in Oct 2021 was 156.6
Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day, 20-30 minutes of cardio on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days), complete all 6 programmed strength training sessions during my 4 days off per week

Previous Posts1/7 WHEW what a welcome back to work. Critical care during Covid is just not ideal. Our unit is now 8 beds and we are staffed for 12, so we will pretty much be staffing the new unstaffed Covid icu that took our place. Buuut the move has changed my trek up the stairs from 7 flights to 11 and Iβm always looking for excuses to take the stairs. Leftovers for lunch. Black bean soup, avocado, and seitan for dinner. Another workday tomorrow. Protein: 135
1/8 Work 2/2 and now Iβm off for 2. Since we are not in our normal unit I was having to run up and down to pharmacy a lot to get medicines that werenβt stocked and so I got plenty of stair action in today. I always close my move ring at work but rarely my exercise but the stairs have fixed that. Leftover black bean soup for lunch, broccoli dal with tofu for dinner. Protein: 148
1/9 must have tweaked my back turning patients or something yesterday cause I am hurting today. Skipped out on deadlifts and just did some rows, rowing, and step ups instead. Also skipped out on the NBA game tonight because of how bad the Covid numbers are around here.. didnβt seem like a responsible thing to do with the surge and how many staff at the hospital are already out sick. I got talked into going into work an extra day tomorrow to be the lead, so my days off are cut short. Leftovers for lunch. Lentil, sweet potato, spinach soup and seitan for dinner. Protein: 131
1/10 workday 1/3. Not a bad start to 3 in a row. I walked a ton since we are split between multiple floors and I was helping everyone out. Leftover soup for lunch and a lentil harissa garbanzo bean soup and tofu for dinner. Protein: 132
1/11 work 2/3. Supplies are really low. Iβve been walking around 8 miles and doing 60 flights of stairs at work since the unit move. I have been eating Built bars for my protein bars and the eggnog flavor was surprisingly really good. Leftover lentil, chickpea, harissa soup for lunch. Lemony, kale, orzo and seitan for dinner. Protein: 128
1/12 work 3/3 we moved again at work lol. At this point you canβt do anything but laugh and go along with it or quit. I was lead and they assigned all the rooms we were moving in the last hour or work so I was scrambling. Now we are Covid icu with a few neuro beds until things settle down I guess. I ordered a more comfortable n95 and goggles. Walked a ton. My husband made a really yummy Korean stew for dinner. Protein: 131
1/13 So nice to be at home today! And it looks like my weight is finally trending back to pre-holiday levels. I did a shoulder press, lunge, rowing workout this morning. I also meal planned and put away Christmas decorations. Good timing since a house cleaner is coming tomorrow and Christmas decorations make a lot of sparkles. Did a push day for weight lifting. Iβm feeling pretty tired (could be from working 3 in a row) and my throat is a bit sore (could be my imagination).. hopefully I wake up feeling normal π¬. stir fried tempeh, cabbage, and carrots for dinner. Protein: 133
1/14 It felt almost like spring outside today! It was making me want to see some tulips and start my vegetable garden.. Much too soon for all that though. I had to be out of the house all day for cleaning, so I helped my mom put her Christmas decorations away. Iβm nervous about being around my parents again even though we are all boosted now that Covid is so bad at the hospital and Iβm in the thick of it. Cardio workout was shorter than I expected, but I did that and had a pull day with tons of rack pulls and then went for a walk. Leftovers for lunch. Red lentil, spinach, potato stew with seitan for dinner. Back to work for the weekend.. Iβm dreading it. I applied for a pre-op job at the hospital much closer to my house in the suburbs because I donβt know if I can keep doing critical care in a major metro hospital with staffing and supplies how they are. Protein: 134
1/15 Work 1/2. Spent the day in the Covid ICU and it wasnβt bad today. Iβve been feeling pretty hungry the past few days. Leftovers for lunch. Roasted Brussel sprouts and tofu with Buffalo sauce and avocado for dinner. Really yummy. Protein: 128
