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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Goals:

Goal for 182, continue to stick with daily reporting in. May be a little challenging as my daughter, SIL, and DGS coming to visit April 4th – April 11th. I would really like to see 135 at the end of the round, which is a number I did briefly see during 181.

The “boys”, AKA the cats, Harry and Han Solo, are going to get tracked once per round as well. Maybe this way I will not keep losing my data for them

SW: 137.8
Cats: Harry 10 lb 14.5 oz; Han Solo 11lb 12.5 oz

3/28 – 136 So the short term “retention” likely sorted itself out. Yesterday, I handled going to a movie well by smuggling a bag of grapes and an individual parmesan cheese in my large purse. I did grab, and track, a few handfuls of hubby’s popcorn. But all around pleased with my choices. At the end of this round, I hope to re-visit the 135 that I saw in the middle of last round.

3/29 – 136.6 Had survived a day of bad choices by limiting quantities. Then about 10 PM I gave into a salt craving and ate an unacceptable number of pretzels. I know today will be good, so I anticipate a corrected weight tomorrow.

3/30 – 135.8 Yesterday was good all around. Steps were 23,788 between my planned walking and house cleaning. Glad the “5” is back. Need to get rid of the .8 during the rest of the round.

3/30 - 151.6 - I've been focusing on getting my 90oz water (4 days straight!) and tracking my food minus dinner. I can't pre-track dinner since I don't know what we're eating until I get home. My timeline after I get home is so compressed I don't bother to pull out the computer to update it. Last night was street tacos on the Blackstone with some chips and homemade salsa. Today's lunch will be leftovers. Out of tortillas (the super small ones) so I'll either eat it like nachos (I brought some tortilla chips) or like a taco bowl. Will make that decision later once I know what my morning food looks like (if I need a snack other than my pear I have cut up for "breakfast")

Previous Day's Comments

3/28 - I got my water goal yesterday and I'm horribly bloated. Hopefully this weight is just a fluke from my upped water intake that hasn't cycled through the system yet. Between stress, lack of sleep, and wonky food schedule, I'm not surprised. Frozen personal pizza today (my other option was not eating at all) and not sure dinner tonight. I have steamable veggies on the grocery list so hopefully BF will get them for me to bring the rest of the week's lunches as a backup plan. Still applying out, minimum one application per day IF there's anything worthy of applying to. Now I'm starting to see duplicate listings so I'm giving myself grace if I can't find another posting other than what I've applied for.
3/29 - I'll take a drop. Chicken alfredo last night. Have some for lunch. Did have a glass of wine to unwind. Took me almost 2 hours to get home due to several accidents (I passed no fewer than 7 accidents on my drive home). Not sure tonight's dinner. Water was good and focusing on that again today. Not much else to report, not much else I can do with my day but work eat sleep, either.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/28: 135.6 - Happy to be starting this round holding steady at yesterday’s new low. I changed my ultimate goal weight to a range, dipping 5 pounds below what was my ultimate goal weight of 135. This last pound may be tough to achieve this round as I’m traveling for most of it and will be doing a lot of eating out visiting family and friends without a weight scale or a food scale.
3/29: 135.6 - Normal workout, eating, but a little short on sleep due to an early morning flight
3/30: - DNW, traveling - flew cross country yesterday, so not much eating or drinking until dinner. Got my workout in by doing an almost 2 mile walk at the airport while waiting to board and then walked a ton after we arrived. Kept it reasonable at a tapas place and even stopped at Trader Joe’s to pick up some desert/snacks that fit into plan. I’ve changed my goals to maintenance, so that gives me an extra 300 calories per day to play with.

Previous days

3/28 121 I did an active recovery spin bike ride this morning for about 40 minutes. I just kept my heart rate in the warmup and easy zone for most of it. My sleep was a little weird last night and the past couple of days I’ve just felt kind of fuzzy/foggy. I’m looking forward to the weekend already because I bought our house (myself/husband and inlaws) a new grill to share that is giant! I’ll be able to fit all of my grilled veggies on it along with whatever protein I’m cooking that night. It’s has 34in by 18in of cooking surface and has 6 burners. So, Saturday my father in law and I will have a nice couple of hours bonding time while we put it together (my husband gets out of helping because him and I trying to put things together typically doesn’t end well haha!). I hope everyone has a good start to the week!
3/29 122 pre workout 121.2 post workout. Did 45 minutes on the spin bike this morning because my husband’s car is still in the shop. I’m looking forward to getting back to the gym tomorrow morning to do my strength routine. I’m a major creature of habit, so not being at the gym for two days in a row feels like forever because I had been going almost everyday for a while and at most I wouldn’t go for like a day.
Breakfast this morning was a ¼ of a pro meal bar before I jumped on the bike and then I had a bowl of high protein kashi cereal with almond milk and a protein shake on the side. Lunch will be a salad with blueberry goat cheese and crispy chickpeas with a balsamic fig dressing. Plus I’ll add some fresh kohlrabi on the side as another crunchy component. Then, dinner will be sesame noodles with ground pork and a bit of bok choy mixed with it. So, it’ll be a solid day food wise and according to MacroFactor, I’m pretty on point with my macros for today. I’m feeling a bit less fuzzy today as well, so that’s a relief.

3/30 123.2 I think it was. Totally normal blip up thanks to where I’m at in my cycle. Feeling good today and did my strength training at the gym this morning followed by intervals on the treadmill. Friday I’ll be moving into phase 3 of my strength program and looking forward to it! I’ve already noticed my body changing in certain areas and muscles popping from muscle pump during workouts, which is really exciting. So, I’m even more excited to see where I’m at 3 or 4 months from now. Food was good yesterday and it’s looking similar today. I’m not as hungry this morning so I’m waiting a bit before I eat the second part of my breakfast today (already drank my protein shake but now I’m waiting for my appetite to surface to eat some Grapenut cereal).

I'm also trying to figure out what to get my husband for his birthday... we'll be going away for his b-day weekend to The Wentworth in NH and then a night in Montreal. I'm surprising him with a cake in the NH hotel room that'll be decorated with a hiking/mountain theme and funfetti cake on the inside. So, I'm trying to think of something small to get him for a gift to go with it all... He's tough to buy for though because he doesn't like too much stuff. Decisions decisions...

Hi, I’m Kathy.
57, F, 5’8”
8th round! Rebooting my lifestyle after several false starts. I need accountability to make sure it gets done.

Return to MFP SW (Dec 2021): 267
HSW: 267
RSW: 244.4
UGW for now: 195, then reevaluate

Goal for this round: less than I started with
2022 goals: move more (okay, move some), eat mindfully

Day/Weight/Comment
3/28 244.4 A little bounce up this morning, not completely unexpected. Still feeling great about the Weekend Whoosh, which is not something I normally get! Huge work project launching today. So far it looks like everything is going well; fingers crossed that continues. Food is planned and logged, and I have my happy purple water tumbler right next to me. Have a great round, everyone!
3/29 243.2 I’m starting to see a pattern here. I’ll lose a pound or two relatively quickly, then bounce around for a while (just long enough to feel the frustration start, usually) and then start moving downwards again. I know weight loss isn’t linear, but seeing the pattern is helpful to keep me motivated. At any rate, food is planned and logged for today.
3/30 243.8 And it’s apparently bounce time. Food for today is planned and logged.

DH asked for a cake last week, so I baked a lemon poke cake Friday. Ate too much of it. Threw the remains away this morning. No self control! I also made my weekly soup—this week, Creamy White Chicken Chili. Lots of veggies. It’s yummy, and less than 300 calories a serving. Dinner again tonight, maybe lunch tomorrow. Works for me! And I just sent my entries for Rory’s first obedience trial in May — 5 weeks. I’d like to lose a bit by then in case we need a “new title” photo!

Goals: HIT.MY.STEP.GOAL!!! 11,000/day; <100 carbs/day; Pelo ride 2-3x/week; Strength training 2-3x/week; end the round lower than what I started it at.

3/28: 183.2- Finished the day with 80 carbs, but I’m up today because I enjoyed an alcoholic beverage last night with dinner. I also fell short on steps, but I’m not worried about that. Eyes back on the prize today though! And that means no alcohol for the foreseeable future because that stuff always gets me.

3/29- 182.8 I was hoping for more, but this is fine. 68 net carbs, step goal hit, and for once I actually did some strength training again too! My goal this round is to get back into that habit because it had helped a lot when I was consistent with it. That, and lately I’ve really been noticing the muscles that my previous consistency had netted me. I don’t want to lose those hard earned muscles!

3/30- 182.6 Another small drop. 93 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. I’m going to attempt to go lower carb today than I’ve been lately. I definitely notice a difference on the scale when I go more toward the bottom half of the <100g goal than the top half.

3/29 / 170.4 / Got a new 60 minute PR on the Peloton last night and I'm looking forward to another ride at lunch. We got a dusting of snow last night so I'm hoping if I wait for my walk until after work that it will be melted.

3/28 ~ 190.5 - 11,400 and 110. We went for a hike to a waterfall. They recently put in stairs and a platform there and a new parking lot, but that's only at the falls the rest of the hike has some steep hills.
My watch registered 44 flights of stairs. Either of us had been before but all of our kids have and it was so muddy and slippery an accomplishment for sure!! I love hiking. - Looking forward to seeing some 8's this round!! Cheers to round 182!!
3/29 ~ 190.4 - 15,100 and 106 min. Struggled through the Monday and dragged my *kitten* out for an evening walk to make and surpass my step goal. Dreaming of 8's.

3/30 ~ 190.6 -16,200 and 112 min. My lunch break walk was the only time the sun came out yesterday. Today looks like it'll be full of sun. Have a great day all!!

3/30-168-Lunch was a bit heavy, so didn’t feel like eating dinner, then off to the “quilt show set up meeting”. These people have it down to a science and no ladders are involved, which is amazing. They are very organized and I am pleased to be helping them. Giving the horse a bit of a break while I catch up on yard work. Planted a couple pots yesterday from seedlings I started, that is rewarding.

3/28- 192.2 (+1.0) Still going up from my indulgence meal. A bit disappointing, but a good wakeup call. I need to tighten up my eating during the week, while still allowing myself one meal each week of whatever I want. This meal is an important part of my strategy and has really helped. So, just a reset. Orange Theory fitness this morning will give me a few extra calories to play with. And…drinking my water is going to make a big difference.
3/29- 192.2 (+1.0) Orange Theory was a good workout yesterday and I’m swimming today. It always seems when I hit a milestone, I bounce up and down and all around it until my body finally settles in. I hit 189 for a day last round. It will be back. My daffodils are coming up and I spent time cleaning out my small garden yesterday. I can’t wait to play outside more.
3/30- 190.0 (-1.2) Yay. At least my highs are lower than they were before. Now just to get below my low weight once again and then even lower. Swimming was good yesterday. No organized exercise today.

Yes @coblujay me too! I tend to bounce around when hitting a new decade. Annoying, but I guess it’s just the body adjusting to the change.

It is annoying and a bit scary, Nicole. I have to admit, some weeks when things are going really well, I get a little cocky, too, and eat more than I should.
