4/11- 179 - restarting MFP again . Today's goal is to drink water which always kick starts my brain. - drank my water today and went to the gym. Under on calories. Good start.
4/12 - 177 - today's goal is water again which I have managed to stick with. Also, treadmill class during my lunch hour. Back at it from injury at the end of March. So far so good. Stay under calorie goal for today.
4/13 - 175 - so far so good but that is my "norm". Really great progress at the beginning of the week but crash and burn starting Thursday. Having friends over tonight so my immediate goal is to avoid alcohol tonight...drink water instead..

4/13: 149.7 | I've been bouncing around but I'm not surprised because I've been relaxed with my calories the last few days. I eat to goal but then splurge on an extra 200 calories in the evening. If I upped my walking it'd balance out.

Working on my all or nothing attitude toward weight loss. Just focused on hitting my calorie range 80% of the month. Had delicious pizza for lunch yesterday and haven’t binged since Monday
4/10 - 188
Have some medical stuff going on. Never lose this fast but not letting it get to me. When I see a new low weight I tend to self sabotage so a whole new decade screams self sabotage but I’m ready to fight that urge and keep the course.
4/11 - 188.8
4/12 - 190.4
Not stressed. Knew the weekend was most likely a false low. My plan is to give myself a year and 5 months to hit my ultimate goal which averages out to needing to lose .60 a week. In this for the long haul!

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.

@amfmmama Oh cool! So you're not too far from Mass then! It's so crazy how small of a world it can be on a forum with thousands of people.1 -

Goal for this round: To weigh less than when the round started.
Previous days4/13 Did not weigh this morning. Went to the gym and did an hour on the elliptical because my hip was bothering me from my overly ambitious long run last week. Then went for a 20ish minute walk at lunch. Food was decent today and we ended up going out to Tavern on the Square for dinner unexpectedly. I got a Mediterranean chicken wrap and saved half for my lunch tomorrow. I also got a side salad with it instead of fries. So, I was pleased with my choices tonight. I’m planning to do my strength workout tomorrow morning and some sprints of some sort afterwards. Have a good night!

4/12 Thursday and Friday were super busy with work and then we went away from Friday night to Monday so I didn’t end up posting. I think I’m going to wait a bit until I weigh myself again. Our weekend away was really nice and staying at the Wentworth Inn in Jackson, NH for a night of it was amazing. I highly recommend staying there if you want to get away in the North Conway area of New Hampshire. TOM arrives later this week and after it passes I’m going to check my body composition at the gym again to see where I’m at. I went to the gym this morning and was able to bump up my lifts for my incline bench press (went from 30lb to 35lbs dumbbells), 50lb to 55lb single arm dumbbell Romanian deadlifts, and 30lb to 35lb dumbbells (in each hand) for my Bulgarian split squats. So, I’m feeling really good about that especially after a weekend of indulgence.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/7 / 171.6 / Well after being unable to weigh on a reliable scale for the duration of my trip, and a ton of constant temptation, I'm happy my weight is where it is. That was the first vacation of that type that I've had since I started, and there were lots of lessons learned. Overall, I'm happy with the choices I made under the circumstances. I balanced fun with reasonable choices, grabbed activity where I could, and made lots of memories. Happy to be back to being able to check in daily!
4/8 / 172.8 / Got our summer tires on yesterday while the sun was out and it felt very spring like. Also picked up our dog from the sitter after a long week apart and took her on a special walk. The day went fast and we are back to work today.
4/9 / 173 / Went for two long walks yesterday and got back on the Peloton after my vacation break. Also did lots of moving around in the basement in prep for my mom's move in tomorrow. More to come today!
4/10 / 172.4 / Moving day here.. well we are staying put but the basement is ready for its new occupancy! Lots of carrying things and up and down the stairs yesterday but I also rode the Peloton and walked my dog.
4/11 / 173.6 / Worked from home, husband travelled for business, had dinner out to celebrate my Uncle's 60th, and rode the Peloton for 60 minutes. First day back in the office tomorrow since late 2020 - wish me luck. Most people haven't seen me since I lost over 100 pounds!
4/12 / 172.6 / Didn't have any issues getting my 10,000 steps today between the return to office and helping move more of the last of the stuff from my Mom's house before the sale goes through. I also rode the Peloton for 30 minutes.
4/13 / 170.8 / Had a tougher than usual 45 minute Peloton ride tonight. Commute in and out of work was a little smoother today than yesterday. Hoping to get a bit more sleep tonight!

Round 183 ( my 115th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
It's just under 6 weeks to DS wedding and I definitely feel better than I did at the start of the last round, both with my body/weight and also my positive mind set. I now need to continue to be consistent, if I can loss a pound each of the next 4 weeks and then maintain I will be well happy, easier to say than do, but I've done it this round so just need to repeat!! Need to keep that resolve & continue to think about everything that goes in my mouth, just 1 pound a week will do it for me, that is doable, I just need to do it! Come on I can do this! Goal again this round is for a 1.5 pound loss, that would be nice; concentrate on good food choices & aim to eat back only half of daily exercise calories.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 then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/7 135.8 - 9.42 miles walked & an hours yoga, later donated blood, don't know if it was that making me have the munchies all afternoon; I ate back 80% of exercise calories.
4/8 137 ?? 9.99 miles walked. Must be a normal fluctuation, I know yesterday was high carb (pizza), but I was within calories, 2/3rds exercise calories eaten back. We always have oven chips with the pizza, I meticulously weigh & log, last night 105g, 158 calories, but whilst I was eating them I suddenly realised that I don't particularly enjoy them? It's the taste of the salt & vinegar that I like !! So the realization means that I shall just have salad with my pizza in future!
4/9 136.2 – 10.29 miles, all but 2 of exercise calories eaten back. From this week in the UK it is law for menus to include the calorific value of all meals which is helpful when making food choices. It does however, make one realise how many more calories are in commercially prepared meals than when one adjusts recipes at home from scratch. I did chose a lighter meal when out to lunch with DF; larger salad instead of garlic bread with my chicken pasta alfredo.
Today we are doing afternoon tea to MIL in her care home; it is for her birthday, she has dementia and she used to really enjoy this tradition and in particular scones with clotted cream & jam, so hope this jogs her fragile memory. Adjusting other meals to help reconcile calories consumed.
4/10 137.8 - 12.37 miles, overindulged at the afternoon tea, enjoyed it, but moving on!!
4/11 137.2 – 9.65 miles walked, a better day yesterday.
4/12 136.4 -10.92 miles walked. A third of calories eaten back.
4/13 135.4 - 6.50 miles walked, didn't manage my goal, persistent rain kept driving me back home , 2/3 calories eaten back. Back to lowest number this year, need to not sabotage this time !!
4/14 139.2 – bad day yesterday !! 9.63 miles yesterday.

4/7 169.6 lbs I have a feeling it's going to be back up tomorrow. Hope I'm wrong!
4/8 168.0 lbs Happy to be wrong! I'm not sure what I did to earn this, but I'll take it. This is about 10 lbs down from where I started, and I'm starting to feel a slight difference. Quite a long way to go, but every milestone along the way is worth some reflection: How did I get here? Remember where I used to be? How do I make sure I don't end up there again?
4/9 168.4 lbs Well, so far this doesn't seem to be a fluke. The more I creep away from 169-point-something, the more I feel (cautiously) optimistic that I won't creep up to 170 again. But I'm still in the danger zone.
4/10 168.0 lbs I can't shake the feeling that I'm going to see an upswing soon, so I'm not going to get too excited about this number.
4/12 169.4 lbs And there it is.
4/13 169.2 lbs Right on the edge again.
4/14 169.4 lbs I guess this is how this round is going to go, sigh. I may see 170 again after all.

Goals:My original goal for this round was going to be to make it into any sort of “133”. Well, I made it there on the last day of round 182. Goal for 183 is to finish 133.8 (scale does .2 increments) or below and achieve my originally planned goal. I will keep my same focus and maybe kindness will kick in with a miracle and I end up in the 132’s.
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: 133.4
Cats: Harry 11 lb .5 oz; Han Solo 11lb 13.0 oz
4/7 – 133.8 Totally reasonable. The 133.4 ending weight for last round was very kind and unexpected. The other factor going into yesterday is I did not track the end of the day, though was thoughtful and selective about what I ate. Tracking was too mentally taxing by the end. Having guests and entertaining is lovely by exhausting. Apple watch says I walked 11 miles yesterday. I think I spent at least 1.5 hours doing dishes by hand at various points (yes, stupid me has a dishwasher that I regularly use – handwashing seemed more organized way to tackle the disarray). Anyhow, pleased with today’s weight, despite it being an up.
4/8 – 135.2 Handled yesterday reasonably…..until I didn’t. Went on bender in the late evening while babysitting and everyone was out fishing. That number is reflecting a lot of carbs, fat and fat. Don’t ask. :P Not concerned. It is one day. Today I should be back on track. Fun side story though was that I did a bird rescue.
4/9 – 137.4 wow! Amazing what damage one can do with two days. Due to family schedule, my morning walk could not fit in. Not sure what more to add other than today is likely going to be dicey as we are heading to Key West at 8 AM. Going to be a long day.
4/10 – 136.0 Unlike my past two days, I did not even make an attempt at tracking and choices were not great, but I attempted to at least limit my number of meals which may have helped to mitigate. Again, with the Key West travel, I could not do an official walk, but we were on foot, covered a number of miles and I closed all my apple rings. Today is a home day, even though family is still here. I am going to attempt to pre-track and heading out to walk in just a couple minutes…… bad start. I just brewed a pot of hot water. I forgot the coffee grounds. :’(
4/11 – 135.4 Did manage to get in a reasonable walk yesterday. Did roughly 2.5 laps for 4 miles. Tracking did not happen. Came in from the walk to another pound of cooked bacon on the counter. Yes, I could have tracked those, but just not having the mental energy (that I can have) to work out the rest of the day. Despite not tracking, my weight is coming back down which shows me how much was forms of retention, and what my true weight likely is. Today, everyone leaves and am home alone for about 30 hours, during which I have to clean and flip back our living arrangements (we gave up master suite to the kids) before DH returns tomorrow afternoon with MIL. No walk this morning. Will do some alone walking later and the cleaning should get me plenty of activity. I will be very interested in seeing what tomorrows weight shows because that I likely the real damage from the 4 days of eating off track.
4/12 – 138.0 Yes, everyone headed home yesterday and honestly thought that I could then focus like I intended. Well cleaning the house, cleaning the fridge, counters, and cabinets, brought me face to face with many open containers which led to bad choices …… again. But, when I got a modicum of control I did a purge and the remaining triggers are all gone. I did get in a solo walk though as I planned, so that was a plus!
4/13 – 136.6 Finished all the cleaning up of the condo and DH returned with MIL. Calories were on track (though I did not pre-track) and I did walk three and a half loops (5+ miles) and then biked to the grocery store. Today, IMM should be good. We are going out to dinner but I have pre-tracked my day and have planned for a two appetizer dinner – shrimp ceviche and a trio of bacon wrapped scallops. Both are yummy but calorie/portion controlled.
4/14 – 135.2 So my history this round is great for anyone unfamiliar with the cause and effect of daily food selections and how some is real (AKA fat) and some is temporary retention. So on the 7th and 8th I did some high carb, fat and salt eating that led to a gain of 4 pounds. Got back to focused eating on the 9th and 10th and dropped two. Misbehaved again on the 11th with salt, fat, carbs again for one day and went up 2.6 pounds. Focused again on 12th and 13th and am back down 2.8 pounds. These fluctuations cannot be explained purely by calories consumed as to gain those 4 pounds of fat I would have required that I eat roughly 14,000 calories OVER my daily caloric needs during those two days, which did not happen. Weighing daily over the years has allowed me to witness these cause and effect and how they apply to me. I am rarely blindsided by the number that I see on the scale.
I’m also adding apologies, again, for barely reading everyone’s posts. I can only be pleased that for now I am at least trying to keep my own accountability going.

Oh, April, why are you so cruel. It’s cold, wet, and dreary out today. I last night I made beef stroganoff, so not a low-cal, low-fat dinner, but it was good and comforting on a cold spring night and my total for the day was slightly over goal but under maintenance, so not too bad. Happy Friday!
4/9 - 179.6
I’m doing better with calories and macro management so far this round. I’m planning to restart my “wunning” — run-walk intervals. Six years ago I ”wan” a half marathon and a 10K, and then with moving around, a battle with PMR, and the pandemic blues, I let it go. But now I feel motivated to start again for several reasons—general fitness, the endorphin rush that fends off the blues, needing to up my game as I get back into dog sports (obedience, agility, tracking, scent work) with my smart, fast pup…. He’s not old enough to run with me, so I’ll need to take long dog walks as well, but hopefully I can get myself “wunning” well by the time his bones are mature. I’m hoping weight loss will be a side effect! Here he is this past week at doggy school.
4/10 - 179.8
I went a bit over goal yesterday, but my weekly calories average is at goal, so all good. I’ll watch it today! It’s soup day — making a shrimp and rice recipe I haven’t tried before. 🙂
4/11 - 179.2
Monday, Monday… Actually, it doesn’t look too bad. It’s almost 60F, going higher, and no rain until afternoon, so the pup and I are off to one of my favorite parks for a walk. I may also trim back some flowering vines and plant some sweet peas. I might even fit a little work in. 😁
4/12 - 178.6
Whew, I’m pooped. Two & a half hours of doggy school this morning. Makes for a quiet afternoon, though!
4/13 - 178.8
Off to agility class—it’s a workout for me as well as the pup. A lot more fun than the gym!
4/14 - 179.2
This is one of those “who-knows-whys,” but that’s ok. Bouncy bouncy.

4/7- 189.6 (-.6) No organized exercise today. Back in the art studio.
4/8- 188.4 (-1.8) Finally down to a new low weight. I’ve been logging my food and drinking lots of water. Swimming is on the agenda today. I may try to do my April mile.
4/9- 188.4 (-1.8) I had 124 minutes of exercise yesterday between a 2.5 mile walk with my dogs and a mile long swim. I almost backed out of the swim, but thought I could at least do a half hour. I felt so good once I was there, I did swim my mile and in a new record time for me 65:27! My plan was to go to Orange Theory Fitness today, but I think I’m going to take a break. Hiking is on the agenda for tomorrow.
4/10- 189.0 (-1.2) Hiking today. We’ll stay on the service road this week because the tougher trails may still have some snow and be muddy. Planning to hit those trails next week. Hoping to be solidly in the 180’s by the end of the month. I keep looking at my stats for the challenges and seeing each loss into the lower ten pound category is taking longer, but it’s still happening. Trusting the process, but still working to tighten things up.
4/11- 188.2 (-2.0) We only hiked two miles yesterday because with the wind, it was freezing! Brrrr! But two miles is better than nothing and today is a new low weight by .2 pounds. Eeking it out a little at a time. Frustrating some days, but even losing .1 every few days adds up. My doctor, who was instrumental in getting me focused on losing weight, has no idea a took up the challenge. I see him on Wednesday for my annual physical. I can’t wait!
4/12- 188.0 (-2.2) Yes, it’s coming down and that’s great, but I do miss those whooshes. After a great swim yesterday, eating right and getting all my water, I was hoping for more. It is what it is and it is not a gain. Head games in this weight loss journey. On April 1st, I weighed 188.8, so I’m .8 pounds down since the start of the month.
4/13- 189.2 (-1.0) I had some pasta yesterday, but really tried to keep the amount down. I have a meal service, because I’m not a great cook. It’s a local service where they use fresh food. Yesterday was the first time they included actual pasta in one of my meals and I had that with some turkey meatballs. That may have resulted in a bump. Hoping it will be back down tomorrow. My plan is to have an indulgence meal at the end of this round. I used to have one every week, but I think the number of calories my body needs is shrinking, so instead I’ll have an indulgence meal once a round.
4/14- 189.2 (-1.0) I went in for my physical yesterday and saw my doctor for the first time in a year. Last year, he suggested I consider weight loss surgery. His honesty was instrumental in starting me on this journey. I had no desire to have surgery but realized it was finally time to focus on my health. I’ve only started one conversation here on MFP. Here’s the link if you're interested. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10837733/my-doctor-suggested-weight-loss-surgery/p14/15 On the first page, you’ll see my fear and doubt and fabulous input from some wonderful people in this community. On the last page you’ll see more details about what happened yesterday and how much it meant to me and to my doctor. I’m very lucky to have an amazing doctor.

My body has been wacky for a while now. Never know what to expect on the scales. My goal seems a bit aggressive, but I'm sure the 4 pounds I'm up from last round isn't fat, so just want to get back down to on track.
04/08: 185.6 lbs (+0.2)
Got a big hike planned for tomorrow. Hopefully the wind is gone by then!
04/09: 183.8 lbs (-1.8)
Who knows, but I'll take it! Big hike today and lunch out after. No idea where, so will have to be flexible. These little mountain restaurants definitely don't do low cal!

Oh body... I'll never understand you! Sorry I've been a bit out of the loop the last few days. Work has been crazy and an extended family member died unexpectedly. I'm still taking care of myself, just don't have the mental energy to do much more at the moment. I am reading everything and so proud of this group. Y'all are persistent and doing that hard work!
04/14: 183.4 lbs (+0.8)
I think this may be salt. And I'm learning nuts are hard for me to regulate. If I don't weigh it, I shouldn't eat it.

4/11- 179 - restarting MFP again . Today's goal is to drink water which always kick starts my brain. - drank my water today and went to the gym. Under on calories. Good start.
4/12 - 177 - today's goal is water again which I have managed to stick with. Also, treadmill class during my lunch hour. Back at it from injury at the end of March. So far so good. Stay under calorie goal for today.
4/13 - 175 - so far so good but that is my "norm". Really great progress at the beginning of the week but crash and burn starting Thursday. Having friends over tonight so my immediate goal is to avoid alcohol tonight...drink water instead..- update.. no alcohol at all last night. success
4/14 - 175 - team event today so hope to stay somewhat on track.. at least tracking everything even if it's way over my daily calorie amount.
