Day/Weight/Comment
1/17: 145.9 - I didn’t expect this, but it feels good to have the scale moving down. Officially lost 25 pounds since starting this journey Sep 7, 2021. Did my normal workout plus a walk, and ate all the way back to my exercise calories. Good sleep.
1/18: 145.5 - Normal workout, but my eating was a little disjointed as we were out the whole afternoon. Stayed within calories.
1/19: 145.5 - Holding steady. Normal workout plus an extra walk. Good eating.
1/20: 145.9 - Last night had homemade pizza. Although within calories, I felt super full.
1/21: 146.2 - Headed in the wrong direction. Lots of cheeses and carbs the last few days.
1/22: 145.5 - Long neighborhood walk (5.72 mi) was the only exercise I got in. High carb, low protein eating. Still finding it hard to get enough protein throughout the day.
1/23: 145.5 - Holding steady again. 10K walk in the neighborhood and stayed within calories. Good sleep.
1/24: 145.1 - Back to my regular workout + walk yesterday and a little on the lower end of calories.
1/25: 145.5 - Normal workouts and ate well. Sleep was a little wonky as I forgot to take my watch off to charge and it woke me up early to say “low battery”. Electronic battery disrupting human battery charging!
1/26: 145.6 - Same routine as yesterday, although I didn’t get woken up early. Had a few nibbles of crackers I was making to taste for doneness, but didn’t binge.
Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: - 1.3 pounds10 -
Round # 42 for me!
SW: 375.2 (5100 steps daily step goal, go to bed by 11:30, no eating out or junk food 6 days a week)
Day/Weight/Comment (previous day steps)
1/17 375.2 – 5151 steps. Great day. Enjoyed splurge. Back on it today. Glad I did not gain any more weight.
1/18 373.0
– 5768 steps. Got in a walk yesterday and ran errands with mask and shield on and enjoyed being out despite challenges. Dropped dinner off to my Dad at nursing home. I hope he enjoyed it and understands why we cannot come visit him at nursing home.
1/19 373.0 – 5672 steps. Good day and got in a short walk. Came under calories. I always thought with the WW points I was eating too much but I could never know because it was not calories. With MFP and actual calories and macros, I can figure out some things! I attribute that to why I am now losing consistently now. I am eating less and still not feeling deprived. The WW zero-point foods are very deceptive. I always knew it, but I just tried to make it work for me. It may work for some, but it does not work for a person with a binging problem.
1/20 373.0 – 6158 steps. Carb feast on skinny pop popcorn but still under calories. Good exercise also. Had a great salad. I love the salad kits They work for now.
1/21 372.0 – 5442 steps. Two good short walks inside and under calories. I am happy to be on the losing end at the end of each 10 days, but my goal is to lose 3 pounds each challenge while I am in the 300’s. I know as I get closer to 300 it will get tougher. The lowest weight I have been since I have been on this journey since 2004 is 301. For the 1st time in a long time, I can see myself getting under 300 if I don’t lose my focus.
1/22 372.0 – 4322 steps.
1/23 370.8 - 4036 steps. Reached 25 pound milestone!!!
1/24 373.8 – 3800 steps. Yikes! Can’t explain a 3 pound jump. Too much celebrating! A real possibility. We will see tomorrow. I did not drink a lot of water, low steps, no workout 2 days and high sodium. Hmmmm. Not worried. Moving forward. I did end up going over my calories with high calorie and high sodium item so I will just try to drink my water next 2 days and stay under calories and keep it moving. It happens and I am still in the blue & 370s.
1/25 373.8 – 4102 steps.
1/26 373.8 – 4233 steps. Well, I have a loss this round and I will take it! I didn’t lose 3 lbs. but I am on track with 6.2 pounds lost this year so far which is 3-pound average per 10 days and that is what I am shooting for. On to round 3 for this year. I must get back to keeping my daily goals which I have slacked up on because of listening to the Australian Open (tennis) on the Radio. Last night no radio, went to bed early and today I am going to get my 5100 steps in. I have continued to not eat out and almost at the end of January! On to the next roundTotal lost this round: (-1.4 lbs.)
*One of my major goals is to get my BMI under 40 (260 weight) so I can have surgery on my knees*

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us. 10 -

Round 175
1/17 246.5 I was extra surprised by the number on the scale this morning. Hopefully, my Saturday of sinful calories won’t catch up with me tomorrow. 😂 Back in school with masks today, and 8 of the 15 rooms in my building are on modified quarantine status, I’m just waiting for my turn. I’m grateful parents and students didn’t put up a fight about wearing masks.
1/18 248.5 There’s my weekend weight! Staying on track with calories today should help me get back down.
1/19 247 There it is again, 247, my body seems to want to hold on to this one. 🙃 I hit my protein and fiber goals while staying under calories today, so maybe tomorrow is the day I kiss it good buy forever!
1/20 245.5 A new low! I planned my calories today because I’m only human and it's half-priced Sonic Corn Dogs Day. I stayed under calories, but I was also under on protein and fiber.
1/21 245.5 holding steady, but went over on calories a bit. I was so hungry all day even with 150 grams of protein, so I indulged in some pudding for desserts and I’ll take the extra calories.
1/22 - 244.5 Hey! 2 pounds down! I’ve been noticing that my 5-week prediction hasn’t been dropping as much as it used to, and I know I’ll need to be making some more changes soon. So I started researching gym options in my area. I know I need to lower my calorie goal, but I’d rather start working off some more than trying to consume less. Eventually, I’ll have to do both, but one step at a time!🙂
1/23 243 This is encouraging since I’ve really struggled the past couple of days with wanting to stress eat, teaching seems to be the only plate I have that’s full and still being piled upon… sigh. I went ahead and lowered my daily calorie goal to 1,900 so I’m hoping to keep seeing the scale drop. Have a great week everyone!
1/24 243 Today was a busy and stressful Monday, so much so that when was packing up to leave school at 6:09 I realized I only drank half of my breakfast smoothie. So I enjoyed some gelato after dinner instead. 😆 I’m guessing the extra sugar late tonight will have an effect tomorrow. Other than that, I was under calories, but just barley missed my protein and fiber goals.
1/25 244 No surprise here, but I’m also worried for another jump tomorrow. We have over 6” of snow (practically unheard of in SWKS) so I celebrated our snow day tomorrow with a extra chicken fajita. With all the changes I’ve made in the last 7 months, I still turn to food for my feelings. Does anyone have a suggestion to overcome this, a book maybe, for some help/guidance?
1/26 244 Plenty to be happy about today! No extra weight on the scale from my fajita, No school due to 8”(!!) of snow, lots of cleaning and kitty snuggles are getting done. It’s a great way to end this challenge, down 2.5 pounds! See you in 176!
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. -Aesop9 -
Short term goal: Stick with it for 60 days (15/60).

When working out today, I realized that I calculated my change in weight for the Round from the wrong initial weight. I actually lost 0.4 lbs, not gained 0.2 lbs. Bottom line, I’m still 3.1 lbs away from my vacation goal of 135 lbs (end of Feb). This was my UGW, but I’m thinking I’ll be moving that downward (a mildly defeating thing to do).4

1/17 205.8 Well poo. Last week I was down and here we go first day of the new round and I’m up. My own fault, too much salt yesterday. Continuing to do my workouts, #17 done. Onward!!
1/18 207 Another bad day of not eating right. I’ve got to get my head back in the game. It felt great to be down lower now to get there again. I have kept on with the workout’s #18 today.
1/19 206.6 Better #19 done
1/20 206.8 Workout #20 today.
1/21 207.2 #21 I have got to stop this snacking. You can always tell by my numbers.😕
1/22 207.2 Workout #22. Snacking again yesterday. I love crackers and did a lot of emotional eating, we had an unexpected death in the family. Husbands cousin who was 60, possibly an aneurysm. Anyway it always makes you think about what you need to do to live better and longer. Husband and I discussed what “healthy” is and quality of life. 😢
1/23 207 workout #23. Need to drink lots of water today and move.
1/24 207.6 workout #24 Well this round has not been good for me.Back to my terrible snacking habits.
1/25 207.6 workout #25. Well at least it didn’t go up anymore. Husband sees the oncologist today for a follow up appointment.
1/26 207.4 did workout #26. Lower but really wouldn’t call it a loss. This was a tough round for me.9 -
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 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 Posts1/17 Had a relatively lazy day. Planned meals for this week and made a grocery list. Did a deadlift, squat, pullup workout this morning and took a walk. I made a Korean soup (doenjang chigae) for dinner and it was really tasty but pretty sodium heavy. Reload week for strength, but the programming never feels that much easier than the normal weeks hah. I bet my legs are sore tomorrow after all of the split squatting I did tonight. I’ve been feeling pretty hungry, so I’ve relaxed my calorie goal a little and am eating back more exercise calories. Protein: 146
1/18 workouts ✅✅✅ super sore today. “Reload” weeks on the programming are always like that. tomato garbanzo beans stew with seitan for dinner. Protein: 144
1/19 still super sore. Did a weighted step up, shoulder press, bent over row workout this morning. Very cold and windy otherwise, so didn’t get out and walk. Strength was programmed as an active recovery day but included a lot of pull-ups and dips. Farro with sautéed mushrooms and spinach and a gochujang sauce. Back to work tomorrow. I got a call back about the surgery job and I’ll need to think about it. I would work Monday-Friday 5:30-2 + occasional on call. Protein a bit on the low side: 113
1/20 work 1/2. Not a bad day in Covid-land. I think I’m going to need to buy new scrubs in small cause my pants are about to fall off.. especially when I’m wearing the PAPR. Kimchi stew with tofu for dinner. Yummy! Protein: 121
1/21 work 2/2. Still had a bad headache today but otherwise feel fine. Idk if I should get a Covid test tomorrow just to be safe or not. Thai-ish soup with seitan for dinner. Protein: 126
1/22 did a snatch and box jump workout and then a push press, kb swing, push-up workout this morning. We cleaned up the vegetable garden since none of the hardy greens stood up against the deep freezes this winter. I forgot that I left some potatoes in the dirt and dug up a ton of those. Otherwise went grocery shopping (I hate running errands on the weekends. Too many people. It really makes me appreciate my work schedule) and made broccoli, pea, edamame fried rice with tempeh for dinner. Protein: 127
1/23 Picked up an extra shift for a big bonus. It was a good day.. I just regret missing a day of lifting. Depending on how the rest of the week goes I might try to make it up. Back to work tomorrow. My husband used the potatoes we dug up to make one of our favorite recipes. It’s like a gochujang potato rosti in a Dutch oven and you bake eggs into it. Extra delicious with fresh garden potatoes. Protein: 125
1/24 work 2/2, now 3 days off. Yummy roasted eggplant tomato soup with seitan for dinner. Protein: 119
1/25 Ate out for lunch today but it was at Flower Child which is relatively healthy and I was able to pick something with similar calories and macros as what I had planned. Last spring I dug out several new flower beds which was super hard work.. I scheduled an appointment with a landscaping company to give me a quote on doing a couple new ones. Now that I know the labor that goes into it I might be ready to pay up. Got good workouts in this afternoon and felt really good on squats. I got 185x8 which is a decent squat for me. Sweet potato, kale, egg scramble for dinner. Protein: 125

Bell pepper, spinach, feta egg casserole for dinner. Protein: 135

Goal for this round: Maintain weight while continuing to focus on strength training and running
Previous days1/26 121.4 pre-workout 120.6 or 4 post run. Completed a 7 mile run this morning and felt really good afterwards. Yoga was also super fun last night, it was so different than any other yoga class I’ve tried before but in a really good way. It was very active and on our own during some of the flows. It was just very interesting and challenging mentally at times to remember what you’re actually supposed to be doing in a certain sequence. It was a busy work day but food has been good and dinner is all planned out too and simmering in the pressure cooker right now. Have a good night!
1/17 Did not post.
1/18 122.4 My goal for next round is to post every day! Ran 6.2 miles this morning. Last night my husband and I went to play racquet ball at the local court near us. It was so much fun! We also did some research and there’s a gym near us that offers unlimited use of their courts, so we are going to look into joining the gym instead of paying $35 an hour at the club we went to last night. The gym has squash courts, but we’ll just learn to play that instead. I’m very excited because the gym has a couple pools as well, so I might get back into swimming as a cross training activity for myself. I used to swim in high school and loved it. I wasn’t fast by any means but it’s such a good workout for a no impact exercise! Food has been good all day to day and have meatloaf prepped and ready to throw in the oven for tonight. We got Thai last night for dinner so I’m working with post strength training water retention along with Thai food water retention. I feel good regardless, so that’s what’s important, right?
1/19 122.0 I did a 50 minute spin bike ride this morning and did my strength workout on my lunch. Breakfast was toast with chai tea, lunch was cheese, crackers, crunchy chickpeas and some raisins, and dinner will be leftover meat loaf with some roasted potatoes. I have to pick up our CSA tonight before dinner, so it’ll be nice to have an easy dinner ready to go. I think we might try and play squash tonight before we pick up the CSA too. Happy Wednesday!
1/20 121.6 Playing squash was a success last night! It wasn’t pretty to see me play but it was fun and my husband didn’t lose his patience with me lol! So, it was a win win! I ran 6.4 miles this morning and the last three were fast/hard miles. My Garmin watch gave me 40 recovery hours before my next hard workout. So, I’ll do a leisurely spin bike ride tomorrow morning to give my body a break. Food was pretty good yesterday too. Today I had my usual toast for breakfast, lunch will be the last of the meat loaf and dinner will most likely be steak and veggies or something a little easier like chicken tenders if we end up playing squash again tonight.
1/21 Did not post.
1/22 Didn’t weigh this morning. I did a recovery ride yesterday on the spin bike and resting completely today. I’ve had a sugar bug the past couple of days with eating too many caramels (finally gone) and Lindt truffles (almost gone) that are around. Not sure why the spike in sugar cravings though, usually I can look right at them and not be phased. Food has been good today though.
1/23 Forgot to weigh this morning. My husband and I woke up super early and couldn’t fall back to sleep, so we decided to get up and go to the gym to swim some laps. Being in the pool again and swimming with intention felt so good after over a decade of not doing it. Afterward I used the sauna to get rid of some water retention that has been lingering and then we went home and had breakfast (2 eggs with homemade cinnamon raisin walnut toast). Then, we decided to go back to the gym for an 8:30 AM yoga class. The best part of the class was my husband at the end saying he hasn’t sweat like that in a long time and him admitting that yoga really is a workout. HAHA! The class was also lovely in general and I plan on taking it again. We also adventured to HMART after the class and we bought some ingredients to make beef lo mein for dinner tonight. It’s been a solid Sunday so far 😊.
1/24 121.6 Hoping to see a drop in the next five days after this part of my cycle passes. I’m also starting a new macro configuration with my diet to see how this changes things. I plan to work my way back down to 115 over the next few months because I’m not the biggest fan of 120/121. My goal is to maintain my muscle mass though because I really like how my muscles are starting to pop in the upper body and parts of my lower body. I just don’t like the slow weight creep that’s been happening. So, as I lean out I know the muscles will start popping even more. The new plan is about 1900ish calories with 40% carbs (to help with the endurance/cardio work I do), 25% protein (120g about 1g per pound of body weight) and 35% fat. So, we shall see how this works, right now I’m burning about 500-900 calories depending on the day’s activities. Ran 5 miles this morning and swam 1,025 yards after work. I was going to do strength tonight, but my husband wanted to swim so we shared a lane instead and swam. I’ll do my strength tomorrow morning and then some sort of cardio afterward. I also signed up for a yoga class tomorrow night because I feel like a kid in a candy store with all these options at our new gym.
1/25 Did not weigh this morning. Had my DXA scan today and the results were interesting to see. The percentages were healthy but I definitely want to build more muscle/get leaner. I know I can do it because I was there before and annoyingly let the weight creep up. My birthday and the holidays really got me this year. Any ways, I have to go check on my chicken in the pressure cooker and get ready for yoga tonight. I did some strength work this morning and got another quick swim in.
On the Brightside I technically lost a pound this round, so I’ll take it as a win.

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/Comment
1/17 / 185.4 / Today consisted of work, a walk at lunch, a Peloton ride, some stretching, and a core strength workout. Looking forward to a good round ahead and moving into the low 180's.
1/18 / 184.4 / Another solid Peloton workout done, this time at lunch since it was colder than I wanted it to be for my walk. I am going to take my next FTP test on Thursday morning to see how I've improved. Work is taking a lot of mental energy so I'm thankful for the good habits I've got in place to support me right now.
1/19 / 183.2 / Change of plans on the Peloton FTP test so I ended up doing a training ride today instead. My husband and I are doing the Pelo Fondo event this weekend so I decided to postpone a new FTP until next week.
1/20 / 181.4 / Got out for a short walk at lunch and now I'm waiting for my turn on the Peloton... my husband and I are both obsessed so we have to take turns lol.
1/21 / 183 / So ecstatic the weekend is here! Mostly a rest day today to gear up for the PeloFondo event tomorrow. Hoping to get 100KM done in one day!
1/22 / 185 / Fun day in our house here today as both my husband and I are participating in the PeloFondo event. I rode the bike for over 60KM first thing, and now he's doing his full distance in one go. We have supper out with friends so I'll be finishing my distance around that. Plus, the sun is out so I got a great walk outside with the dog.
1/23 / 185.2 / Mostly a recovery day planned for today, although I will take the pup for a walk. We are watching football and I plan to eat at maintenance for the day.
1/24 / 186 / Got my FTP test done this morning before work and was pleasantly surprised with the increased performance on the bike. My husband is gone for two nights on business so it's quiet around the house. Most of my food for tomorrow is pre-logged already.
1/25 / 183.8 / The rhythms of my days are always different when my husband is travelling as he normally does all the cooking. Up early to make breakfast before work. Will walk at lunch and do my Peloton ride before supper. Enjoy the day all!
1/26 / 180.2 / Goal met and then some - my weight fluctuations were pretty wild this round. Yesterday's Peloton ride with my new power zones was a beast! Weather is still nice here so I'm getting out for a walk every lunch as well.8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
01/16 …..193.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/17 …..194.4 ….. (Trend weight 193.0) I just couldn’t get full yesterday and no TMI today. I hope tomorrow is better. Good luck everyone this round!
01/18 …..193.8 ….. Trend weight 193.0) Good meals but too much grazing during the day. Extra hungry for some reason. Today there will be more work on the living room reno project. This project will last several weeks. No room. Furniture covered and in the center. No privacy again. However, the dining room turned out nice and the living room will be an even bigger impact! Glad to be getting some of this out of the way during the cold snowy and icy months. I will need some alone time to leave the house to walk when the weather gets better.
01/19 …..193.2 ….. (Trend weight 193.1) Well, this certainly proves that results, good or bad, are not always reflected the very next morning. I had a bad eating day yesterday for sure. Yet the scale is down. Very low steps, practically no water. Very bad sleep, disrupted. Busy, busy day. Yet the scale is down by slightly over ½ pound. This must be a result of the past couple of days where my meals were more planned and within my limits. I suspect the scale will creep back up because of yesterday’s fiasco. I’ll work on a good day today.
01/20 …..192.6 ….. (Trend weight 193.0) Not a perfect day dietary wise, but more improvements made in choices and quantities. Very little movement as it is still restricted. Only 7000+ steps. I’m going to focus on water today. I haven’t been drinking enough. Glad to see that scale dropped, but also that my trend weight has turned around a tidbit and going down instead of up finally.
01/21 …..193.0 ….. (Trend weight 193.0) More lack of movement yesterday and not as much water as planned. However, my quantities of food were excellent. My choices were very good. Proud of my day except for that late night piece of pumpkin pie with Cool Whip. It was very rich and heavy so the piece was not large but it still did it’s damage apparently or this is a carry-over from a couple of days ago when I overate and just couldn’t get full. Either way, I need to stay consistent!
01/22 …..193.6 ….. (Trend weight 193.1) WTH? I had an excellent (but low exercise/movement) day! I was within calorie. Scale up, trend weight up slightly but fat % the same as yesterday. The only thing I can think of is that I had pasta for dinner although within calorie. Low 5000+ steps. Ugh. Not too much I can do about that yet.
01/23 …..196.0 ….. (Trend weight 193.1) WTH????? Okay, I know how to play this game and THIS doesn’t make ANY sense! I did have Chinese carry-out for dinner brought in by daughter so I expected a bump up even though I drank extra water and I only ate half leaving leftovers for today, but the rest of my day was very good. It has to be the lack of exercise. This project is not yet half finished . My poor grandson is trapped upstairs and I’m trapped down. I’ve got to use the steps today for some extra movement.
01/24 …..194.4 ….. (Trend weight 193.5) Confused. Didn’t understand yesterday’s upswing. I don’t understand today’s loss. Normal dietary days with the calories being nearly the same. Lack of exercise both days. No change in TMI. Go figure! I woke up starving today. Today will be a challenge.
01/25 …..194.4 ….. (Trend weight 193.6) Limited steps again at 7000+. I got in 20 flights of steep stairs according to fitbit though it felt like I did more. Today I will be at the hair dressers for a few hours. If I’m eating too much, perhaps that will stop me! However, that means even less movement today.
01/26 …..194.4 ….. (Trend weight 193.6) 0.6 gain this round which is quite disappointing. Traveled today. I expect that tomorrow will be worse. Ugh! Congratulations to everyone who were successful in meeting any of your personal goals and NSV’s. See you next round!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

I was out of town last week, and I haven't been recording my weight. But I'm back today!
The last 2 or 3 rounds, I've ended 0.2 lbs higher than my starting weight. I want to change that trend!
I'm a 5'7" female in SE Michigan. I'm in my 50s.
My goal: be at a lower weight after 10 days than I was at the beginning.
HW: 163 (July 2021) - not the highest ever, but the highest in recent history.
UGW: 142 (but I'll be happy with 150 for now.)
Round 175 Goal Wt: less than SW
SW (R175): 159.4

EW round 174 171.8
SW 1/17 172.2
Goal: just aiming to come out even or lower than 172.2.

1/22 172.3. LWR arm workout and full body work out. 10k steps. Used food diary.
1/23 172. Using food diary. Going to dinner at a Mexican restaurant tonight. Checked the menu and did some research. I'm going to try the caldo de Cameron. If they don't have that I'll just get grilled steak tacos. Skipping the chips. No margaritas.
1/24 171.9. Think I ate something bad at dinner. Feeling bad food bloat. Anticipate scale going up tomorrow though I stayed within 1200. Did FBW with LWR.
1/25 170.5. Old habits worked for a reason. Lwr
1/26 170.4. LWR. Last night I realized I had not watched TV all day. Good feeling. I've been watching too much just sitting on my hiney. BC I only watched TV with lunch or dinner for about 20 min at a time before I was back up moving around. It felt good yesterday moving around.
Yay!! Finished round lower than when I started! SW 172.3 and EW 170.4.7 -

on to the new round...my goal each round is to have my AW lower than the round before
1-17= 151 Coming down with a cold?
1-18= 150.4 Ok, definitely feel like a bad cold. Logging my food but not caring if staying in limits & no exercise
1-19= 149.4 Up during night feeling like sinus instead of just a cold. Decided I better check with Dr. Of course, she said all symptoms sound just like the Covid that is rampant here in IA, so another test done. Hoping for negative. Still logging food, no exercise.
1-20= 149 Feeling better today. Still logging food, no exercise.
My food has been within 200 calories over my plan, but I have really been trying to push the water. I have gotten at least 64oz every day (that is good for me!) plus a little decaf coffee & herbal tea. I think this has something to do with the scale going down.
1-21= 149.2 Not unexpected....found out test was +. Good news is I feel a lot better
1-22= 149.8 Over cals more than usual..had an ice cream sandwich for night snack last night. Still logging food, no exercise. I think more important to kinda rest for awhile. Should be able to get out of isolation today, but still not planning to do anything. It helps to be retired, lol.

GW - 180
R175 SW: 216.8

Day/Weight/Comment
1/17: 216.8 - I'm coming off three days at maintenance and eating pretty much anything I wanted (planned for, I eat at maintenance on Fri, Sat and Sun) and deficit Mon-Thurs.
1/18 - 215.0
1/19 - 214.8 - Under calories yesterday but ended up eating out and having Chinese food with probably lots of salt and sugar, so was pretty happy to be (slightly) down this morning.
1/20 - 213.8 - Bang on my target calories yesterday but managed to sneak some treats in within that target.
1/21 - 212.8 - another day bang on my calories. Friday's are usually my lowest day of the week - because I eat at maintenance on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, this should creep up between now and Monday, and hopefully begin to fall back again from Tuesday.
1/22 - 214.2 - Not surprised. I ate at maintenance or just above on Friday (planned).
1/23 - DNW
1/24 - 215.2 - Again, not surprised. I tend to lose Monday to Thursday, and gain Friday to Sunday, with the aim being to lose more than I gain overall. This represents 1.6lb loss since last Monday which is ahead of my goal of 1lb a week.
1/25 -DNW
1/26 - DNW
I was travelling with work so didn't get to complete this, but ended up at 214.6 this morning, so just about meeting my target for this round.2 -
I'm in! Thank you, @quiltingjaine !
71 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
