4/17 192.6 (+3.6) I had a huge binge day yesterday. I was planning to have an indulgence meal and then never stopped. I enjoyed every minute. The beauty of this is that I was confident I could get back on plan. Under calories today and a nice long walk with the dogs on a beautiful Easter Day. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
4/18 192.0 (+3.0) No organized exercise and a busy day today. Weight is starting to drop already. Now, just to stay consistent.
4/19 190.0 (+1.0) Heading to the pool this morning. My vacation begins in two and a half weeks. I’ve got a lot to do before then. I was hoping to be closer to 180 by now, but still happy with all of the progress I’ve made in the last year. I can’t believe I’m 30 pounds away from goal weight. I saw a number of former co-workers yesterday and they told me over and over again how great I looked. Some days I really see the difference and others all I can see are the rolls that still exist. My plan for vacation is to enjoy my meals but to eat smaller portions. I’ll be gone for two weeks. I know I’ll gain weight, but hopefully it resets my body so when I return, I’m in losing mode and can finally bust past this semi plateau. On countdown!!
4/20 189.0 (0) Feeling great today and happy to be back where I started this round. No indulgence meal until the very end. Not much exercise today beyond a walk with the dogs. I started adding half a scoop of protein powder to my oatmeal in the morning. I wasn’t getting quite enough protein.
4/21 190.2 (+1.2) It’s amazing what a salty meal can do. Lucky it’s only temporary. No organized exercise today, just playing with paint.
4/22 190.0 (+1.0) It’s been an incredibly busy week and I haven’t stayed on top of logging like I usually do. That’s playing a bit of havoc, but things will slow down in the next few days, thank goodness.
4/23 188.2 (-.8) Phew! Did you hear my huge sigh of relief from your house? My low weight was 188 on April 12th. I’m definitely adjusting to the slower weight loss and am not expecting huge whooshes. Just seeing it come down little by little is great. I had brunch with some of my friends yesterday. The big art auction for charity where one of my paintings will be available is April 30th. I did a brief fashion show yesterday with my friends and they helped me decide on an outfit. I’m so excited and will confidently sport an amazing dress for the first time in decades.
4/24 188.8 (-.2) Taking the dogs out for a long walk today and then painting. Just hoping to finish this round below my starting weight. When I get tough on myself, all I need to do is check out the results from previous challenges. I’m still heading down and eventually I’ll get there.
4/25 189.2 (+.2) Crazy busy day yesterday. I was moving furniture around the house and cleaning. I have to get back to logging. I’m swimming today. Just one more day in this challenge. Hoping to be down even a little.8 -
Hi, I’m Kathy.
57, F, 5’8”
10th round! Rebooting my lifestyle after several false starts. I need accountability to make sure it gets done.

HSW: 267

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
4/17 240.0
4/18 240.0 The reality of this weekend: not enough water, eating and enjoying things I only typically make 1-2 times/year, some stress, some movement, not enough sleep, skipped the gym. Not reality: I did not eat 7,000 calories, so I know this will drop in a few days! Now back on the plan.
4/19 239.6 Back to the gym yesterday and back on track.
4/20 239.8 I know the process works. I just have to stay focused and not get impatient or lose hope. Everything for today is planned and logged, and I’m headed to the gym after work.
4/21 239.2 Slowly coming down. Was at the office all day yesterday but took the time to plan and take lunch/snack with me instead of being caught without. Hit the gym last night. Meals for today are planned and logged.
4/22 238.0 Back to my pre-Easter low. Now to focus over the weekend. Meals for today are planned and logged. Have a great weekend, everyone!
4/23 238.8
4/24 238.0
4/25 238.0 Had a great weekend with friends and family. More movement than usual, which was fantastic. I even talked my husband into taking a walk with me after dinner yesterday. The scale feels stuck, but I know I’m doing the right things. Meals for today are planned and logged, and I’m headed to the gym after work.

No excuses. Clearly I'm eating more than I think I am.
04/19: 186.2 lbs (+0.6)
14/20: 185.6 lbs (-0.6)
Been more careful about food choices and weighing. Nuts and nut butters are too tempting so they are banished to the back of the pantry, out of sight until I feel like I can eat them in a reasonable amount. I'll get there, my willpower is weak right now though. Also getting in more steps and exercise in general. Determined to end this round lower than I started it.
04/21: 185.8 lbs (+0.2)
Not surprised. Work lunch yesterday and it seemed salty. Drinking lots of water today.
04/22: 185.6 lbs (-0.2)
At least the swings aren't as wild. Hike and gym day. Happy Friday everyone!
04/23: 183.0 lbs (-2.6)
Not sure this is real, but it feels good! Been more mindful of what I'm eating and moving more. Active day planned today, so hopefully this is the start of a trend!
04/24: 185.0 lbs (+2.0)
Yup, it wasn't real!
04/25: 185.6 lbs (+0.6)
Didn't make it to the gym this weekend but I did walk a lot. Feeling mentally and physically exhausted.

@musicsax you might try opening the battery cover and putting a folded piece of tissue on top of the battery. I’ve had this problem with several “button battery” devices. It seems they just don’t make proper contact. Worth a try.2

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t 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 isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 4.5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

SW RND 184 119.0
4/17 120.5. GKI 9.3 Lots of carbs yesterday because I ate a bowl of bran flakes trying to get things moving and 1 slice of veggie pizza at the quilt show. Quite happy with that! Walked over 7000 steps - about 3 times by usual - very happy with that too!
4/18 120.5 GKI 9.3 Hung out with recent widower friend. Lox, cream cheese, crackers and cheese followed by Italian sausage and cheesecake.
4/19 121.5 GKI 7.5 OMAD Great Greek salad with steak. Eating was good, I only ate about 1/8 of a pita. Increase is from carbs over the weekend and no TMI. I think I’m full of 💩 LOL I couldn’t pass that up. Sorry if I offended anyone.
4/20 119.5 GKI 7.2 still waiting for TMI but almost no carbs yesterday. Finished Greek salad (maybe 3/4 c) made steak and cauliflower for dinner and even had a glass of wine
4/21 120.0 GKI 19.6 Subs at bingo last night, no plastic ware so I pulled the bread apart and put the meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion between the remaining crusts. It was a substantial portion which was surprising. Apparently, too substantial! I wish this wind would blow in some rain. The dust in the air is horrid.
4/22 119.0 GKI 9.6 Golden Corral this afternoon with neighbors (I ate protein and 1 hush puppy)
4/23 120.0 GKI 12.0 expected after GC.
4/24 120.5 GKI 9.1 Kielbasa peppers and onions, Culinary Lion “copycat Pizza Hut” keto pizza with sauce, peppers, onions, Genoa salami, white cheddar and mozzarella. DH had chest congestion yesterday ion arising, used nebulizer with some improvement. Waiting to see how he feels today, may do home test.
4/25 119.5. GKI 8.4. COVID home test was negative. So many having allergy issues because of the draught and crazy winds we’ve been having - we think this may have caused the lung congestion.8 -

Step Goal 50,000 at some point
4/17 ~ 184.6 - 15,100 steps and 95 active minutes. Went for a beautiful 6k walk around a lake then a visit with the GDs they are so sweet. Easter dinner today and hopefully a good walk in. Hope everyone had a great round.
4/18 ~ 185.9 - 14,200 and 89. Got in a small walk and had a great dinner with family including dessert, chocolate and wine!! SO has gone off to work, looks like a few weeks so I should be able to get back to my lower weight soon. Just have to fight all this rain in the forecast. Oh so looking forward to sunny days.
4/19 ~ 186.6 - 17,600 and 118. Little unexplained jump up. My days have been like that the last few, not worried as I am still going in the right direction for calories and exercise. Got in a great walk yesterday in the pouring rain.
4/20 ~ 185.8 - 21,800 and 156. Long after work walk. NSV I have fit back into some of my spring clothes! Plus some of the clothes I've been wearing are a little too large. In the next few weeks I'll remove them from my closet. Scale reads are all over the place and I have a small road trip into Vancouver Thursday/Friday which I'm sure will effect my calorie intake and exercise but I am aware. The 170's are just going to take a few tries to get to, lol.
4/21 ~ 183.8 - 17,100 and 118. It was pouring rain but I got out there and got SOAKED! I do enjoy my walks even in the rain. I don't think I will be able to weigh in tomorrow or will be a different scale or maybe when I get back home late late Friday night, will see. Nice to see this 183 but after my road trip it'll bounce back up. I just have to get back here and I'll be fine!
4/22 ~ DNW - 13,600 and 76. Not bad for lots of driving and sitting. Hotel had a scale but the battery was dead. Ate mindfully and slept horribly. Happy Friday all!
4/23 ~ 182.7 - 19,600 and 108. Wow, that’s a surprise. Did lots of walking in the beautiful sunshine (finally!) Ate out for all 3 meals. Granola bowl for breakfast with a vanilla latte. Avocado salad for lunch with an Iced latte and a Salmon burger with green salad on the ferry home. Had a great time with my Mom ❤️ … I am way way behind on reading posts but I’m here cheering for you!! Hope your weekend is sunny ☀️
4/24 ~ 182.9 - 24,800 and 189. Nice sunny day and went for a great walk.
4/25 ~ 182.3 - 10,500 and 64. 🙂

Day/Weight/Comment
04/16 …..201.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
04/17 …..203.4 ….. (Trend weight 201.5) A good day yesterday dietary-wise. However, day 2 of no TMI and a serious lack of steps yesterday. Gotta burn what you eat!
04/18 …..204.8 ….. Trend weight 201.8) Did someone say Easter Dinner?
04/19 …..199.2 ….. (Trend weight 201.5) We went out for Easter Dinner and to see the Easter Bunny and find eggs with DGS #4 because of a lack of kitchen during my reno. I felt like I ate a normal amount and did not even finish. Yesterday (Monday) I was so swollen in my calves and ankles and stomach that I was miserable. I pushed water and only got in my 250 steps 3 times out of 13 on my fitbit. Barely over 3000 steps for the day. On the couch all day with headache and miserable uncomfortable swelling. My doctor recently gave me a water pill to help aid my heart until I see the cardiologist June 1st. It is prescribed to take 2-3 times a week which is why I sometimes feel my weight will go up & down. I took the pill yesterday and those steps are from going back & forth potty. I also took a magnesium pill to help with TMI because it had been a few days. Both worked. Imagine my shock to see over 5 ½ pounds down overnight when I was so immobile! Glad to see it under 200! I feel much better today but I’m starving and my body wants to make up for the lesser amounts of food yesterday. I’ll choose wisely.
04/20 …..200.8 ….. (Trend weight 201.5) I think this is my weight and body adjusting after such a large drop on the scale yesterday. While I’m not happy with this number, it does feel correct and right.
04/21 …..200.8 ….. (Trend weight 201.4) Holding steady but need to see improvement. Very low level calorie burn yesterday. I’ve got to up my game as much as I safely can.
04/22 …..200.2 ….. (Trend weight 201.3) I am making some good choices for the meals. Snacks still need to be worked on. Dinner tomorrow with my daughter will be in the next town over and will spill over my allowances. I’ll have to make today an extra good day for compensation. Babysitting DGS #4 today so up & down the stairs I go!
04/23 …..200.6 ….. [/color-blue] (Trend weight 201.2) I’m very happy to see my trend weight going down. Scale up a bit today but I feel very bloated. Diet choices were good yesterday but calorie burn was low level.
04/24 …..204.2 ….. (Trend weight 201.5) 3.6 lbs overnight gain because of dinner out. WTH? Rotiss chicken breast, a side of pasta, a side of cottage cheese. 2 Oatmeal raisin cookies. Not exactly a diet meal but over 3 ½ pounds? Okey dokey. Bad weather has already started for the day. Rain, thunderstorms, hail expected and possible tornado watches today. I guess I’ll be inside.
04/25 …..202.2 ….. (Trend weight 201.6) I closed all my fitbit rings for the first time in awhile. Extra large calorie burn overall and plenty of steps. Diet was just so-so and exercise wasn’t exactly structured but I’m happy to see it dropping back down. Time to get out of the 200 prison I’m in.
04/26 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

Packing for a beach trip tomorrow. We will be gone all week, but we are driving and have a house and we only plan to eat out once or twice. I have all the meals planned and plan to pack the scale too (husband thinks I am nuts bringing the scale. It doesn’t take up too much room though!)

Hi everyone, my last round here was in March 2019 (R69) with a weight of 185.6. Back now at 225 (ugh!) Unchecked thyroid levels = rapid weight gain during the height of covid quarantine with a high weight of 240. I don’t have a thyroid due to cancer and, well . . . here I am today heavier than ever, more determined than ever.
Anyway, this challenge was really helpful in keeping me accountable a few years ago, so I am jumping back in! Will do my first official weigh in tomorrow morning.
Love seeing some familiar faces still at it here. You are all AMAZING!9 -

4/17: 133.6 - Happy Easter! Weird eating yesterday - one large meal early afternoon with a lot of heavy snacking and tasting the rest of the day as I prepared for our Easter celebration. Not getting enough sleep though - really, really need to work on this one.
4/18: 133.6 - Another one large meal at lunch with waaaay too many nibbles the rest of the day celebrating Easter with extended family . Good sleep for once though and managed to get my workout in.
4/19: 133.6 - Back on track with eating, although still finishing up food from Easter which is pretty calorie dense. Good workouts and good sleep.
4/20: 134.7 - Had good workouts and good sleep. We met some friends at a restaurant and I still had a hankering for something sweet when we got home. Managed to stop myself before I went over calories, but it was super close.
4/21: 134.7 - Normal-ish workouts and eating. Finally moved into the 21st century and got some bluetooth earbuds to use out on my walks. So convenient!
4/22: 134.0 - Lots of snacky eating yesterday. Need to get back to more balanced meals. We have a lot of social things planned for the next week, so it may be tough.
4/23: 134.7 - Normal eating, but a bit of sampling of things I was cooking. Normal workouts.
4/24: 134.7 - Did an early workout before brunch with friends.
4/25: 134.9 - Back to where I started the round. Workout and then some quick house cleaning. Normal eating and good sleep.

Goal for this round: To weigh less than when the round started.
Previous days4/17 Did not post4/25 Decided to take another day off of work to rest because the fatigue is still there. I’m hoping that by the weekend my oomph starts coming back again. I’m just going to continue listening to my body that when there is fatigue, I know it’s my body telling me I need to rest. I know I’ll bounce back…I’m just not the most patient person when it comes to that…especially knowing how active I was beforehand. I am grateful it wasn’t worse though and that I’m fully vaxed and boostered because that definitely made a huge difference in severity (I have mild asthma so I was kind of concerned but I never even had to use my albuterol, luckily).
4/18 Did not weigh. Completed my strength workout this morning and finished with jump roping and then the stair master for 20 minutes. This weekend was hard to track because of the holiday meals and everything. TOM arrived yesterday and I was in bed by 7 last night and passed out by 7:50 I think. I was so sleepy from an excess amount of sugar. I have one more weekend of celebration to get through for my husband’s birthday next Sunday where I’ll be making a homemade key lime pie and I’m sure we’ll be going out to dinner at least once or twice. Then, that Monday I can get focused again and really work on eating healthier/have less indulgences on the weekends.
4/19 123.4 Did not post. Went to the gym and did 45 minutes on the stair stepper.
4/20 121.6 Not going to the gym today. Feeling weird/icky and like I’m about to lose my voice. Food was pretty good yesterday. I drank a ton of herbal tea to try and help save my voice. On the bright side I tested negative for covid, so at least it’s not that. Taking a sick day from work to rest and hopefully feel better tomorrow.
4/21 120.4 did not post
4/22 did not weigh. Tested positive for covid on Wednesday night after symptoms progressively got worse Wednesday during the day. It took seconds for the at-home test to turn positive the second time around. My fever broke last night luckily but still feeling weird today. Please be careful out there for yourselves. Covid isn’t fun at all, even if you’re a healthy individual. That’s my Covid psa for the day. The interesting piece was looking at my Garmin data which showed all sorts of increases in stress on Tuesday and then the following days. My resting heart rate also shot up 10 bpm more than average. Now I’m just resting for the next few days and trying to do everything I can to help my body heal/recover.
4/23 did not post
4/24 Symptoms are slowly improving, so it’s a bit encouraging. My one goal today is to just do the dishes. There aren’t many so it shouldn’t take long. I plan on working tomorrow and hoping to have the energy for it. I think it’ll be the fatigue that’ll get me but hoping I can just take my time at work and not let myself get stressed. I’ve been drinking my mushroom tea to hopefully help my immune system with the healing process. My mom just dropped off some split pea soup made from the Easter ham, so I’m looking forward to that for lunch.
Thank you all for the kind and healing thoughts, I really appreciate it!

Day/Weight/Comment
4/17 / 167.6 / Third day in a row holding my normal BMI weight so that makes me feel happy. Working on getting a bit of a cushion now so that upward fluctuations are not putting me back in the overweight category. This is really just an "on paper" goal that makes me feel good, but I am looking forward to it. The sun is out, we've started the day with a large brunch, and we're hoping to get out to the mountains for a bit of adventure yet today.
4/18 / 168.6 / Busy work from home day today but I squeezed in my Peloton ride as part of my lunch hour. My husband and I will walk our dog after supper instead now that we have daylight for longer. Turkey meatballs with broccoli and a cauliflower potato mash for supper tonight.
4/19 / 167.6 / My magic number of this round We are getting a big snowstorm here in Alberta. Busy day in the office with a walk at lunch. Waiting for my turn on the Peloton tonight.
4/20 / 167.6 / Long commute in this morning due to bad roads, but they were better by this evening. Got a walk in again at lunch. Chicken for dinner and then I'll ride the bike again. Days fly by with the commute taking up so much time.
4/21 / 166.4 / Two cool things happened today. Firstly, I saw my doctor for my first physical since I lost 125 pounds. He was so congratulatory and it made me feel like a million bucks to know I'd done what he likely thought I would never do. Secondly, I took the opportunity to make two informal meetings I had with my staff walking meetings and it's equated to over 15,000 steps today and counting.
4/22 / 165 / Day started with lots of snow so I spent my lunch break shoveling the walkway. I want to get in a Peloton ride after work but we also have dinner with friends and we're walking to their house so we'll see if I can fit it all in!
4/23 / 167.2 / Fun night out with our friends last night. They made homemade pizzas, we had wine, and played games. Had a 60 minute Peloton ride this morning. Date night with my husband tonight.
4/24 / 167 / Well today was a whirlwind! A bit of work, a brunch buffet to celebrate a 55th wedding anniversary for a couple that's dear to us, and then a trip to the mountains for a 60KM bike ride. Ready for bed!
4/25 / 166.8 / Body is tired today... will start with a dog walk over lunch hour and see if I am up for a lighter Peloton ride this evening. I have to get our taxes done this week too so I may try to finish that tonight instead.

Well, I see I missed another round neutral: They just fly by so fast! Well I will be ready for 185 for sure! Thanks for being here.6

I have about 28 kg to lose. I use measurements (centimeters) because they aren't affected by salt intake. My weight has been at this value for about 3 months, let's see if I can finally start losing fat.

bolded numbers mean having dropped 0.5cm
Putting those numbers into my spreadsheet gives a trendline of 85.3 down to 84.7cm
How this round went: not very well. I overate at the start of the round and subsequently started gaining, it took a lot of work to steer things around. I guess it's a lesson to learn. I went without sugar on two days and had zero running days.

Round 184 ( my 116th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
It's just over 4 weeks to DS wedding and I still messing about. What can I say that I haven't already. Feeling despondent. Need to lose this round, just lose!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.

4/17 DNW – 14.72 miles, forgot to take scales away for the bank holiday weekend & couldn't post as I dropped my phone and the screen needs replacing:(.
4/18 DNW – 3.92 miles, travel back home tomorrow will be able to weigh again, not looking forward to it as have slacked over the Easter weekend including chocolate eggs.
4/19 137.8 – 8.14 miles yesterday. Quite relieved at the number on the scales, taking it one day at a time. Attending an Uncle's funeral today followed by lunch out with DSs, going to choose a salad.
4/20 136.6 - 6.6 miles, chose an 8oz steak with salad for yesterday's lunch, all exercise calories eaten back.
4/21 137.4 – 8.12 miles, ate over calories (biscuits!)
4/22 137.4 - 11.67 miles.
4/23 DNW – 8.29 miles walked. Stopped last night in the south Lakes on our way up to Scotland, I did pack the scales but this morning they were dead! Needs a new battery; they are those small flat button ones, so it is going to be midweek before we venture into a town to do any shopping. Meanwhile, I endeavour to keep within calories.
4/24 DNW - 7.39 miles walked. All exercise calories + 9 eaten.
4/25 DNW – 10.2 miles walked, less than 50% exercise calories eaten back. I know I am losing cuz my Fitbit tells me that my resting heart rate has come back down to 50 beats per minute – it has crept up to 53 ( I'm usually in the mid to high 40's when at a lower weight).

Thanks for the tip, might try that in future, but suddenly thought this evening where there is a battery of the same size that I can "borrow" for a few days so should be able to weigh tomorrow (fingers crossed ).1 -

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.

4/16 168.8 lbs Much better! Of course I didn't lose 2.8 lbs overnight, but more importantly, I hadn't gained 2+ lbs overnight, either when I was up yesterday.
4/17 DNW Easter
4/18 DNW (my birthday!) 🎂
4/19 169.6 lbs I'm shocked I made it through Easter and my birthday without a major gain! Worried it might show up tomorrow.
4/20 168.0 lbs Huh. This is surprising. I've got company all week and have decided my goal is simply to maintain this round, so any loss is a bonus!
4/21 DNW

4/24 167.4 Back to the scale after a family vacation for my birthday week. It was great seeing everyone, but not so great on my routine. I didn't have the highest hopes for a round that includes Easter + my birthday, and I'm shocked to be down!
4/25 168.6 Up again, but not by much. Back to where I started this round, and my goal was to maintain, so it's okay.

Round 184 ( my 116th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
It's just over 4 weeks to DS wedding and I still messing about. What can I say that I haven't already. Feeling despondent. Need to lose this round, just lose!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
4/17 DNW – 14.72 miles, forgot to take scales away for the bank holiday weekend & couldn't post as I dropped my phone and the screen needs replacing:(.
4/18 DNW – 3.92 miles, travel back home tomorrow will be able to weigh again, not looking forward to it as have slacked over the Easter weekend including chocolate eggs.
4/19 137.8 – 8.14 miles yesterday. Quite relieved at the number on the scales, taking it one day at a time. Attending an Uncle's funeral today followed by lunch out with DSs, going to choose a salad.
4/20 136.6 - 6.6 miles, chose an 8oz steak with salad for yesterday's lunch, all exercise calories eaten back.
4/21 137.4 – 8.12 miles, ate over calories (biscuits!)
4/22 137.4 - 11.67 miles.
4/23 DNW – 8.29 miles walked. Stopped last night in the south Lakes on our way up to Scotland, I did pack the scales but this morning they were dead! Needs a new battery; they are those small flat button ones, so it is going to be midweek before we venture into a town to do any shopping. Meanwhile, I endeavour to keep within calories.
4/24 DNW - 7.39 miles walked. All exercise calories + 9 eaten.
4/25 DNW – 10.41 miles walked, less than 50% exercise calories eaten back. I know I am losing cuz my Fitbit tells me that my resting heart rate has come back down to 50 beats per minute – it has crept up to 53 ( I'm usually in the mid to high 40's when at a lower weight).
4/26 136 - 10.8 miles. Well pleased with this, a more successful round for me, almost frightened to say for fear of jeopardising again!! But hopefully will continue now. Oh and resting heart rate this morning down to 49 so that's good too. 60% exercise calories eaten back. See you next round!
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE . Keep calm – Covid is still out there despite lifting of practically all restrictions, take care, remain vigilant we're still in this together!

Hi I'm Allison. I've been experiencing 2 types of things regarding my weight. Either it stays the same - at 180, OR, I go 2 pounds down, then 2 pounds up - LOL. Time to change this. A couple of years ago I made it down to 160. But my calorie intake was too low and therefore unsustainable.
Day/Weight/Comment
4/17 - 180
4/18 - 180 ** Gonna try to be positive and make this work
4/19 - 179.6 ** I’m going to make today a good day food wise. My legs hurt yesterday - so I think today I’ll take a break from walking/treadmill/elliptical - and do some arm work. Will continue yoga, too. On Day 3 of Yoga with Adriene - her 30 day series which began in January. There’s so much I can’t do ! But, I’m still going to try.
4/20 - 179.4 ** Yesterday was successful in terms of me eating within my calorie range. And I did my activities. I see no reason why I can’t repeat this today.
4/21 - 179.4 ** Woke up early - felt hungry. Just drinking some hot coffee and waiting a few hours before eating breakfast. I hope to be active today outside - weather should be nice. And I want to get my bicycle out of the shed. Haven’t ridden it in at least 2 years. I readjusted my weight loss goal to 1 pound per week - and it put my calorie intake at 1290. Also I decided not to continue with the 30 day yoga series because I can’t do half the things the instructor does. I need to do in person classes - or get a teacher to help me figure out a routine that works for me.
4/22 - 179.4 ** I’m still pushing forward today with eating at my suggested calorie level.
4/23 - 179.6 ** I’m considering weighing myself once a week instead of daily. This way I’m only disappointed I didn’t lose one time per week instead of 7. LOL.
4/24 -
4/25 - 178.8 ** So I ate more calories Saturday - ate foods off my meal plan - and didn’t totally stick to eating plan Sunday. I was expecting to see a slight weight increase. Instead, I lost almost a pound.
4/26 - 179.6 ** LOL - back up. I’m still going to keep trying

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: 136.0
Cats: Harry 10 lb 15.5 oz; Han Solo 11lb 12.5 oz
4/17 – 135.6 Yesterday was a good day all around. Five mile walk. All food tracked and within budget. Will all my bouncing around, I did expect a little better drop than .4. Today will be challenging. I will likely handle the day with “thoughtful” eating and tracking may not happen. I expect to be up a little tomorrow. Happy Easter!!!!
4/18 – 135.4 A miracle of Easter? I did not track and only walked 3.3 miles yesterday, but I am guessing that all the time on my feet cleaning and cooking, serving/entertaining, and then cleaning up again after balanced out with what I chose to eat. I sent leftovers out of the house, so much of that should not be an issue. Today, DH is spending 12 hours today returning my MIL home (4 hours driving each way with a 4 hour visit including dinner in the middle). For me today, I need to be smart and take advantage of not causing an uptick yesterday. Complicating factor is no morning walking as I am staying in this morning to help pack and see DH and MIL off.
4/19 – DNW

4/21 – 136.0 Phew! Ended up spending a couple days feeling “off”. No severe symptoms, but the list matched those of the current omicron. Took two different home tests, with negative results on both. Anyhow, I tend to eat when stressed and even more so tended to eat with a stomach ache, which I had. I truly expected 138 or higher. Glad I got on the scale today.
4/22 – 135.2 Not sure how. But grateful. No exercise the past couple days. Today I was aiming to get fully back on track with tracking and exercise, but it is raining, thunder and lightning in the keys this morning (not common). I also learned yesterday afternoon from one member of the walking group that the 96 yr old MIL whom she caretakes is COVID+, and I can into another member of the group that rarely joins us but has been missing, that she is just now recovering from COVID. Two weeks ago, another couple in our building got it and the fully vaccinated husband got it so bad that he got monoclonal antibodies and is confident that he would be dead without (he is a very experienced doctor and states that with confidence). For two years, I basically rarely heard of anyone I know, now suddenly it is all around me.
4/23 – 136.8
4/24 – 136.4
4/25 – DNW
4/26 – 136.8 Well, as you can see, this round did not go as desired. :’( On to the next round, which will include 4 days of travel. If I can make myself weigh each day (I smuggled a scale in the car) and not do damage, that may be good enough.9
