Again, I didn't go crazy on my relaxed weekend, I was only 204 kcal over (MFP has set me at 1,620 kcal) so happy to have a maintain. I've still got a few days of hormone fluctuations to go but will be strict again. I'm going to start exercising tomorrow but will not eat the extra calories (this was my downfall last time I was on a weightloss journey).9 -

01/30 - 139.8 lbs
01/31 - 138.8 lbs - Controlled meals all day but drinking skewed the scales by a lot. I expect the scales will move up in 1-2 days. ~300 calories in credit but lost a lot because of drinking.

Big drops which usually means I am heading for either a big pop up or a stall. My exercise goal for today is strength training.

I use measurements because they're not sensitive to salt intake
107.5 103.0 108.0 61.0 50.5 60.5 49.5 27th 3 minute run, eating = good
105.0 104.0 107.0 63.5 52.5 61.0 50.0 28th I skipped a run, it's time to have a specific time of the day to go for a run (30 minutes after sunset), otherwise I'll do it just before bedtime, eating = bad, I should just have a habit of getting sausage and chips on a Friday dinner (Omicron wave excepted), rather than hoping it doesn't happen

1/27- 189.0 Well I knew the hormones would hit soon. Here they are. 75 net carbs yesterday and step goal hit. Now to just keep chugging along through the next week or so of the hormonal stall.
1/28- 186.8 Well, my body is not following its usual pattern this time around! Usually by now, I’m in the thick of a 10 day stall, not dropping 2 lbs overnight! I’ll take it though, that’s for sure! 69 net carbs yesterday, steps hit, and Pelo ride done.
1/29- 187.4 Kind of expected that. The hormones had me nibbling for most of the day. It’s all good though. Today will be better! 66 net carbs and step goal hit.
1/30- 186.8 Back down! 47 net carbs and step goal hit.
1/31- 187.8 Expected, after a snack sesh last night. Back on the train today!7 -

**************************************
1/27 139.6 (trend 140.6) Back at it x
1/28 139.2 (trend 140.4) My lowest trend weight, this means my Christmas gains are finally gone! Had a busy day cleaning, preparing for guests and didn't stop to eat, only snacks. Going to a party tomorrow, haven't done that in literally years as I'm not the sociable type. Only going because OH wants me there to support him, dreading it!
1/29 138.2 (trend 140.1) Woa! Nice big drop! Urgh, so stressed about this bloody party tonight, found out last night that it's a formal thing, the host is wearing a suit, damn! Fine for my OH as he can just chuck a suit and tie on but for me that means hair, nails, make up etc. My hands and arms are covered in cuts and bruises from working on my kitchen reno, I'm well overdue a hair cut, no clue how to do make up anymore, I haven't worn anything formal since my wedding 4 years ago when I was 30lbs heavier and I have no idea what I'm gonna wear! Arghhh. I don't wannaaaaaa!
1/30 138.8 (trend 139.9) Trend weight finally into the 130s! So the party was fine if a bit awkward, I did get a lot of grief for it having been so long since I last saw all my hubby's friends and there was a bit of frostiness towards me from some of the women but hey ho. It was nice to not feel self conscious about my weight for once, I wore one of my teenage daughter's dresses in the end!
1/31 141.4 (trend 140.1) Well who'd have thought a tiny 7 inch pizza would cause such a big gain, sigh. It's frustrating, I really thought I was leaving the 140s behind me at last.

Checking in from mobile: 121.6 went to spin this morning and it felt really good. Then I did a super relaxing yin yoga class tonight which was the perfect way to wind down after a super busy day at work. Food was good today but I was pretty hungry even with eating all of my calories an extra 1 or 2 extra (I think due to worrying about a presentation I had at 2, so the stress hormones were flowing for most of the day. The presentation went really well though!!)9

1/27 Did a snatch, renegade row, clean, push-up workout this morning. I interviewed with the surgical department at the hospital closer to me and now I have lots to think about. Back to work tomorrow for 2 days. Leftover egg casserole for lunch. Cabbage soup with seitan for dinner. Pull day for strength with a lot of deadlifts and I started put plenty sore.. wonder how I’ll feel tomorrow afternoon! Protein: 149
1/28 work 1/2. I updated my goals on mfp to reflect 0.5 loss per week instead of 1 and now my diary is all messed up.. wrong calorie and macro targets on every future day. I looked it up and it appears to have been a known problem since 2015… anyone ever run into this and been able to fix it? I contacted customer support. Husband made a really yummy sweet potato broccoli stew from loveandlemons for dinner. Protein: 132
1/29 work 2/2. I tried updated my goals again today and it fixed my diary, glad the problem is resolved. Shakshuka for dinner. Protein: 126
1/30 really nice day outside today. I enjoyed some sunshine and did a push-up, KB swing, squat workout outside and took a walk. Leg day for strength.. my squats have been feeling really good. I did sets of 6 at 205 today. Okonomiyaki for dinner. Protein: 164

I interviewed with a job in the cath lab today. I think I might end up staying put though. I really like my boss and 3 12’s just allows for so much scheduling flexibility. I can easily get big chunks of time off and I really appreciate being able to run errands at odd hours on week days without crowds. I’m feeling so good in the gym.. seems like I’m just getting PR after PR. Took a walk, did a devil’s press and box jump workout, and then did a press day. Got sets of 5 bench press at 115 which is good for me. Bench has always been one of my weakest lifts. Protein: 139

1/27 169.6. Woo hoo!! I've been doing a LWR workout for the last six days. I can feel myself getting a bit stronger each day. Yesterday after work I walked my dog and then did my workout. That led to me moving around more after work. I did the same today.

1/31 170.2 I was really worried about getting on the scale after a weekend away. Crisis averted. Will see what the scale says tomorrow. I added half a scoop of collagen to my coffee and mixed the other half with my pb honey that I spread on my toast. Not bad. That scoop of collagen helps keep me fuller longer.

63 yr young F, 5ft 4
Round 176 (108th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine. Another round, I prove time and time again, round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow! Would like to lose that 2.8 pound that I gained last round during this one.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.

1/27 137.6 - 10.15 miles walked and an hours yoga. Calories & all macros in credit. Yesterday we celebrated our youngest DGS 2nd birthday; 18 months ago we didn't know whether we would see this day. He was born with a genetic condition causing a very seriously diseased liver, at the tender age of 6 months he was given new life by the generosity of a family who had lost their loved one and agreed to donate her liver. We shall be eternally grateful to her, her family, the organ donation scheme and the amazing NHS. I would like to take the opportunity of asking you all whether you have thought about donating your organs after you are gone and whether you have had the conversations about it with your loved ones; we never thought it could happen in our family, but you never know. A part of her continues to live on in our little DGS, she has given him life; we shall never forget and we shall be eternally grateful.
1/28 138 - 7.46 miles walked yesterday. Had way too many calories & in particular carbs, caused me to feel rough all night & I couldn't sleep with all the sugar in my system, I know it's not doing me any good so why? Will I ever learn, don't know why I keep doing this. I'm frustrated with myself & it's the same old same old! What can I say!!
1/29 137.6 – 10.06 miles walked. A much better food day, well under calories & all macros in credit.
1/30 136.4 – lovely big drop, didn't expect such a big one, may be up tomorrow due to no structured exercise expected today as we are driving up to spend the day with DD, DS & families. 11.59 miles over our local AONB; Cannock Chase, walked along different paths from any we've ever done before, very refreshing. Calories under, carbs 27g over, very happy with the day.
1/31 136.4 – well the number stuck ! To keep consistent for the rest of the round, choices were good but calories, carbs & fat over due to no structured exercise, 183,17g & 15g respectively.
2/1 136.4 – 9.81 miles walked, calories & all macros in credit, a good day.

Oh my goodness, I could have eaten everything last night. I was fine all day but I just didn't feel satiated after dinner and it took everything in me to stay within my calories! So proud I stayed strong 💪 but I need to work out some coping mechanisms if this happens again because I came so close to slipping!10 -

• In Maintenance since July 2019
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal range Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessarily.
People are still dying out there……… and the numbers are on the rise again.
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
January focus:
maintain weight < 145 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
Work on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/27 - 146 - I've kept up with my food diary and steps. This frigid weather really tests my strength to resist comfort food. I bought some diet hot chocolate (25 calories) to get me through my afternoon munchies at the office.
1/28 - 146 - I had some extra sodium yesterday and I will probably have extra tonight. I'll try to drink more water to compensate.
1/29 - 146 - It was a cold drive in to work, -14F wind chill, but it's better than the blizzard the East coast is facing today. I hope everyone here facing those winds and snow stay safe and warm.

YOU CAN’T WALK YOUR WAY OUT OF A BAD DIET. Last year I walked over 500 miles and still gained weight.
Losing weight will help me -
…feel healthy and strong again.
…fit comfortably into my work clothes.
…slide on a pair of jeans.
…hike in the spring.
…look good for my daughter’s high school graduation.

Highly recommend this recipe for a London Broil. I cooked it twice now ... in the oven and grilled and both turn out great. Love the marinade (2-12 hrs). I used Tamari (Japanese form of soy sauce) instead of the Coconut Aminos. Think I’m going to try the marinade out on chicken next.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/27 - 198.4 - Stayed below 200 this morning but the real test will be if I can maintain this through the weekend. Ate pretty well yesterday and definitely at a deficit considering all the working out I did. This morning woke up and did essentially an hour of leg workouts so I fully expect to not be able to move tomorrow lol.
01/28 - 199.7 - Have to imagine just normal water fluctuations here, especially considering my workouts this morning weren't as sweat-inducing. I was supposed to do a 20 minute lower body workout but after yesterday my body said NO! and I listened. Sunday will mark the 1 year anniversary of the 6 day stay in the hospital and 1.5 months on supplemental oxygen. I'm going to use my lungs hard this weekend in celebration of making it through that.
01/29 - 199.5
01/30 - 202.8
01/31 - 200.8 - This is why I didn’t count my chickens before they hatched. Final weekend before tax season kicks into full gear so I did some extra eating/drinking. Now I’m done drinking until after tax season and the workouts will continue. I woke up at 5am just to get my hour+ of workouts in and I feel great. I will lose 20 lbs by the end of tax season… ideally by my 32nd birthday in March!
02/01 - 200.0 - I have this idea to wake up and get strength and cardio workouts in before a long work day. In my mind it’s perfect, my body hates me in the morning though. I’m going to need to figure out what I can do through this busy season to stay active and keep losing while being able to work.

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.

Previous posts:I need to be back here with you all after a 5-week hiatus. I had my scale with me, which only confirmed my need for a disciplined approach.
I am afraid I have not kept up with reading your posts over the past weeks, so I am hoping all is well with my old friends. I was made aware of the fragility of life when my 61-year-old neighbor / good friend passed away while I was away. Complications from Covid seems to be the reason.
And hello to those of you who have joined since mid-December.

Ok, back at the tracking after a long lazy break from reality. Well, not a total break. I kept one oar in the water at all times regarding work. But you will never convince me that remote working is more efficient than in-person presence at the office. (Take it with a grain of salt because I am the same guy who said computer aided design will never replace hand drafting. Ha!)
Anyway… I have some work to do on this body of mine. I have my annual holiday-damage-control to do. JGMTD176

Yesterday was a day where I chose to eat the comfort food set before me. Pot roast at Rotary lunch, and cake.
On another note, I dislike winter very much. Going to try to get moving this weekend somehow.
