Day/Weight/Comment
7/6 175.2 I’m not exactly sure what is going on here in my body. I’ve been sitting basically still (or a little worse) really for a little over 3 months. I had lost almost 20 pounds over the previous 7 months, but am having trouble finding my groove again. I certainly don’t want to gain that weight back, again, so I have to figure out how to get my act together. I'm going to try to share my weight graph so you can see exactly what I'm talking about. I'm limited in activity by bad knees (see an ortho dr today, actually) but I was during the loss period too, so that is no excuse. I'm not looking for "hugs" but sharing my frustration in hopes of gaining more gumption to do the things I know it takes to get the graph to go down. Thanks for listening. Best wishes to all of us this round!
7/7 173.6 Progress in more than just the numbers! I drank at least 10 cups of water yesterday and focused on going back to eating the things that helped me lose the weight last year, and of course, tracking them. But I’m a realist and know that I won’t get drops like this very often. Dr. told me I need two knee replacements yesterday, which I kind of suspected, but at 63 I think I’ll buy a little more time with injections for a while if they work. However, that does give me more incentive to lose another 15 pounds or so—to make that recovery easier when the time comes. I also started doing a seated upper body weights workout before bed last night. I’ll need some upper body strength for those surgeries. That felt really good and I felt like I'd added something really good for me when I was done.
7/8 174.2 Ate out twice yesterday, so this is understandable. HOWEVER, I am so proud of myself for how I have handled the first day of camping with Dad this weekend. We have eaten healthy, and I have controlled portions. I have maintained control all day! I won’t have a scales the next two mornings, but hopefully I can continue this and not gain weight this weekend. All next week I'll be weighing in on the scales at Dad's house. Gotta help him get some things done around the house before I go back to work (education).
7/9 No scales
7/10 No scales
7/11 No scales
7/12 172.6 I’m so pleased with this considering I’ve been camping with Dad for several days. I did SO MUCH BETTER with food choices and portion control. I am feeling much more in control of cravings and have gotten lots of exercise.
7/13 172.4 Still making progress.

Hi all, this will be my second round. I lost 2 pounds the first round. I hope to keep that up this round.
Welcome to all the new members this round!
SW: 263 (5/26/2022)
UGW: 150
191 SW: 252.6 EW: 250.6
192 SW: 250.6 GW: 248.0 (down 2.6 pounds)
7/6: 251.0 – slight increase due to poor choices yesterday. I will get back into the groove today.
7/7: 250.6 – down to starting weight. It was a bad day yesterday from what I ate and drank, but I was still OK on calories. I need to get back on track today!
7/8: 252.0 – up some today. Probably due to sodium, but we will see as I had two bad days there. I got back on track yesterday. Now, I just need to stay on track!
7/9: 252.0 – Still the same. I ate on plan yesterday, so I hope that the weight starts coming off again soon.
7/10: 251.2 – Down some from yesterday so I am glad to see that. Went out to lunch with the family and ate off my eating plan but still stayed OK on calories although ate too many carbs. Dinner, I ate back on plan. I am planning all my meals today and the rest of the week so that I stay on plan and, hopefully, I will lose some more before Friday!
7/11: 252.2 – Up again! Probably due to sodium. Looking back, I did eat higher than normal sodium. So, I need to work on sodium intake.
7/12: 249.0 – I guess it was the sodium. It all came off plus some. Let’s see if it stays off!
7/13: 248.2 – Well I guess that I had a lot of water weight on me. It is very nice to see the weight finally come off. If this lasts, I am almost to my goal for this round! I hope it stays off!
7/14: 248.2 – I am so glad that the weight has stayed off! I guess that I have really lost a few more pounds. I have been fine on calories this whole time so it makes sense that some weight would eventually come off.
7/15:
@joans1976 – congrats on reaching goal!
@JBeanR0212 – Glad that you are feeling better!
@deepwoodslady – I hope that all is back to normal soon!
@wakegrrl – glad that you are feeling better!
@Sussysue – you have lost 2 pounds this round. That is great progress in just 10 days.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/6 / 164.6 / Sun is shining so I hope to take my lunchtime walk outdoors today. Also want to get on the Peloton tonight.
7/7 164.4 / Today feels like a bit of the calm before the storm. Starting tomorrow, I have a lot of corporate events for the Calgary Stampede, and in less than two weeks we're on our way to Ontario to visit Brad's family. Oh, and my brother is coming tomorrow to stay for a while too! Lots to do. I did get my long ride in on the Peloton last night and will try to ride again tonight if I can fit it in.
7/8 / 163.4 / Started my Stampede with the parade.. beautiful weather. Kevin Costner was the marshal. There was a breakfast included with our seats that was yummy. I worked this afternoon. Tonight we lay low as my husband has a Gran Fondo bike race tomorrow (his first ever!) so we are up early to go to that.
7/9 / 163 / In beautiful Longview, Alberta while my husband does his first ever Gran Fondo race to the Highwood Pass. SO PROUD! He has been unstoppable since his hip replacement. Afterwards we will go to a friend's child's birthday if he has the energy.
7/10 / 161.2 / Hoping to get two Peloton rides in, a walk, and then we have dinner out in downtown Calgary with friends.
7/11 / 160.8 / The supper last night was amazing. I had exercised a lot but it was an indulgent meal. I didn't go nuts though. Today is a very busy day - won't be home until after 11:30 p.m. Exercise will all be steps.
7/12 / 161.8 / Big day out yesterday. I worked in the office for the morning, hit a corporate tent part for the afternoon, and then my husband and I went to the Stampede grounds for a free concert. Didn't get to bed until midnight. Walked over 20,000 steps.
7/13 / 161.2 / I stayed on my best behavior at yesterday's work event (with no choice anyway since I had to drive home). Got home at a good time and did my long Peloton ride for the week.
7/14 / 160.8 / Another good day despite events to navigate. I had a Stampede lunch at work and then a corporate tent event which I again had to drive home from. It's a great way of ensuring I don't indulge in alcohol. When I got home I did a Peloton ride and then my husband and I took the dog for a long walk to our favorite ice cream shop. Hit over 20,000 steps.. it was just such a beautiful night.

Female, 5ft. 6 in.
Age 58
Akron, Ohio
OSW: 186 (March 2018)
Maintenance: 140-145 (December 2018)
My 153rd Round!
I’ve let stress derail the past few years of maintaining my weight around 145. The past few months I’ve been inching up above my maintenance weight of 145 and I am now fully 6 lbs. over. I can feel it in my clothes. I’ve been here before many years ago and if I don’t stop it now, I’ll be back to 186-188 lbs. The only way for me to be successful is to meticulously track my food and stay engaged with this challenge.
Good luck to all of you this round!After losing 12 lbs. I was stuck at 174lbs. for a couple weeks until I found this challenge.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/06 - 151 - I was home on a vacation day yesterday. I took a walk and tracked my food.
7/07 - 151 - Stayed within calories and took a walk after I got home from work.
7/08 - 151 - I was hoping for a little drop before the weekend, but this just means I will have to be extra vigilant to stay on track.
7/09 - 150.5
7/10 - 150 - I went to a party last night and limited myself to 1 piece of pizza, 1 small piece of strawberry shortcake, and 2 drinks. We also made a 2 mile roundtrip walk to a nearby lake to watch fireworks which helped. I'm trying to stay on track today.
7/11 - 151.5 - I did pretty well with food yesterday. I'm hoping this is a delayed reaction to the sodium on Saturday night. I'll drink plenty of water today.
7/12 - 151 - Back to work today after a 3 day weekend. More water, more steps, and less food.
7/13 - 151.5
7/14 - 150 - Bounce, bounce. Our grandson is coming over to spend the night tonight. He wants Chinese, so I've already decided on a lower calorie dish for me. I just hope the sodium doesn't derail my weigh in tomorrow.

Big rains here yesterday—7+ inches in some areas. Our lovely tulip tree, planted 3 years ago, is leaning on the fence. 😢 We have someone coming out to see if they can pull it up and stake it. I hope so! Other than that we have no damage, but lots of trees down, power outages, and flooding in the area. I did eat ice cream to sooth myself last night.

Good day yesterday, foodwise. And Rory passed his Advanced Canine Good Citizen test. Today’s the last day of doggy school until August, although we’ll still be meeting a couple of friends for tracking. It’s great exercise—lots of walking on uneven ground—and fun! I have lots of salad makings for lunch.
7/08 - 180.2
I just don’t get it. My calories the past few week+ have been well below maintenance, and a bit below my goal, and I’m getting plenty of exercise between dog training and gardening. So discouraging. I’m about ready to give up and just live with it. If it weren’t for my belly, I wouldn’t much care, to be honest. But jeez, why give up stuff if it makes no difference? Waaaa! (No hugs needed, I’m just venting again.)
7/09 - 178.4
Just when I was ready to throw in the towel! I’ve been over my food the past few days and have no idea what would make me hover and bounce up like I did. Oh, well. It’s a mystery sometimes. Have a beautiful Saturday!
7/10 - 179.2
Boing. This is water — my calories were fine but I had more sodium than usual. And at least it’s not back to the 80s! Have a lovely Sunday, everyone!
7/11 - 179
Not sure this is accurate—my scale is bonkers. I weighed myself 5 times and got 5 different weights. This is the average. I’ll change the batteries and see what it says tomorrow. In any case, I’m sticking to the plan, so all good! Happy Monday!
7/12 - 178.2
Yay! New batteries, consistent weights, and down a little. All good!
7/13 - 177.4
Whoa! Okay, something’s finally working. I still haven’t quite hit my macro goals per GenoPalate’s recommendations, but slowly I’m lowering fat and increasing complex carbs. Protein is good. And I’m feeling much more energetic and optimistic.
7/14 - 177.8
Staying on track.

End of Round 191: 153.9
Round 191 Results: -4.3 pounds
Day, Weight, Comment
7/6: 153.3 - it’s time to start thinking about eating in maintenance calories and upping my protein because I want to work on body recomposition. Maintenance calories scare me. Once I hit 151-152, I’ll be slowly upping my calories and watching what the scale does. Also, I’m excited to be back for my second round!
7/7: 154.1 - hormonal weight fluctuation… fun fun!
7/8: 152.9 - yesterday was a pretty good day and I’m happy with the results. I am on a roll with tracking! Maybe my best streak ever!
7/9: 152.8 - I’ll take it! I’m nervous about today because we have a dinner date and I want to enjoy it without going overboard, which is my tendency.
7/10: 153.2 - wow! This is great! I definitely ate way more than usual at the end of the night, and didn’t see a huge impact. It was very nice to feel way more in control of my eating last night since I was still tracking everything.
7/11: 152.5 - feeling great! I just changed my goal from losing 1 pound a week to losing half a pound a week, so I can start increasing calories as I work on maintenance.
7/12: 151.7 - I had no appetite yesterday, but I still made sure to get in some healthy calories and make sure I ate enough to fuel my body.
7/13: 151.7 - no change from yesterday!
7/14: 151.7 - is this maintenance??? Lol!!
7/158 -
Hi All - This is my round three. I've lost a couple pounds since starting. If I can just keep the downward trend going, I'll be very happy.
SW: 146.6
7/6 W- 145.8 - Peloton & yoga yesterday; planned/tracked my food
7/7 Th - 146.0 - Yesterday: Yoga & strength workout; tracked food but 300 over calorie goal. Today: Traveling so most likely won't be able to exercise.
7/8 F - ?? - Traveling; on the road 900+ miles over the past two days, but we made it to SW Florida! Tracked food; packed low-cal snacks; sandwich; went over calorie goals but did better than normal because we avoided fast food. I'll be able to weigh in tomorrow.
7/9 Sa - 144.0 - Two pounds down from last weigh-in on Thursday. Weighed on a different scale. Hoping it's not the scale.
7/10 Su - 143.2 - Long bike ride yesterday, logged food. Ate out for lunch & dinner; guessed calories. Happy with the results!
7/11 M - 142.6 - We were on the beach yesterday. I tracked my food. I went 400ish calories over my daily goal, but got in an open water swim. I was happily surprised with my weight this morning. It helped me to track food. It kept me from late night snacking last night. I'm trying to catch up on Stranger Things. I'm just now getting to season 3.
7/12 Tu - 144 - Tracked food past two days but did not plan it. I went over my calorie goal both days.
7/13 W - 143.6 - The last two days have been tough. I've been hungry all day both days. I didn't get my workout in yesterday. I didn't eat much for lunch, which made me want to snack. I'm adding more protein today, especially at breakfast.
7/14 Th - 145.6 - I worked long hours yesterday catching up. I hung in there with my calorie goal until after dinner, then had a beer and a half and late night snacks. UGH! I'm resolved do better today. I haven't exercised in the past 2 days, but planning to go on a bike ride after work today. I do so much better when I plan my day's meals.

I am female and 66 years young from northern California
Round Goal: I’d love to get to 135, Then I’d only have 10 lbs. to go. 10 lbs. sounds like so much less than 12 lbs.
UGW: 125
SGW: 136.8
Day/Weight/Comment
7/6 - 136.8 – Today we are rounding up volunteers to trim part of the hiking trail. Not a lot of walking more bending and stooping.
7/7 – 136.4 – Yesterday I decided I need stronger legs so I can get off the ground more gracefully. I did 2 sets of squats. Sore legs today. Off for a walk today with a serious hill.
7/8 – 135.8 – Yay, getting closer to my round goal of 135.
7/9 – 136 – Why isn’t losing weight linear? I had a big dinner with a couble glasses of wine. While I was under my calories for the day, probably a lot of food in my gut
7/10 – 136 – Got poison oak all over my face. I was working on our trail and must have touched my face with my gloves. Also have sore hip so took a day off from walking. Stayed under my calories.
7/11 – 135.4 – We had roasted vegetables with white beans, pasta, and pesto. So good. I wanted a glass of wine for dinner but decided that it was more important to lose weight. I seem to be talking to myself a lot these days. Suffering with poison oak. Sometimes suffering means a glass of wine so happy that I skipped it. I have a dress I’d like to fit into in 2.5 weeks. I can zip it up but it would look better if I lost 5 lbs.
7/12 – 135.4 – Went to physical therapy and came how sore. Decided to have a couple of glasses of wine since my shoulder was so sore. I was under my calories for the day. Did a 4 mile walk in the morning.
7/13 – 135.4 – Went for a 3 hour walk yesterday and was under my calories for the day.
7/14 – 135 – Yay hit my goal for this round. 10 pounds to go. I went for a 7 mile walk yesterday. Going to our friends’ house for dinner. She suggested I bring fruit for dessert. Lovely idea

/stretching, spinning and walking/
Let’s see if I can do something I am not ashamed of this round. Round 191 ended with my highest average on record since starting JGM10D. And this is the time of year I usually do better because of outdoor activities! I MUST do better than just phoning-it-in this round!
It starts today with no dipping into the office snack stock-pile.
By the way, this is exactly why I participate in this daily activity. Without this my health would be a sad story…
It is going to feel good!
7/7: 217
/nada/ Yesterday was a day full of meetings. I avoided the office stock-pile of snacks, so I have that going for me, I guess.
Starting tomorrow, I will be on a three day weekend family (wife’s) reunion on Lake Geneva Wisconsin. Organizers said that everyone should bring a sweet and a salty snack for our evening get-togethers. The conference center we are staying at has buffet style meals. I will try to avoid snaccidents. I will weigh in tomorrow, but not Saturday or Sunday without a scale. Searching for NSV’s.

/nope/
7/10: DNW…birthday!
/golfing and walking/ lots of eating.
7/11: 220
/mostly sitting and eating/ birthday eats.
7/12: 219
/grass mowing/ calories well below goal, but quality of the food was questionable. Such as Taco Bell and beef jerky I received as a birthday gift.
I love how the Taco Bell commercials show how all you need to hear is a bell and you turn into a zombie and walk straight into a Taco Bell to binge eat by yourself.
7/13: 217
/Spinning preceded by a tough virtual Les Mills stretching class/ That stretching class really challenges me. And, the spinning empties me. Both a good thing but it would never happen by myself. I need group exercise classes because they always push me beyond my natural quit time.

I went well over my calories with beer last night. No good reason for it at all.
Doing hot yoga with a friend tonight. I've never done it and my enthusiasm is fairly low, but I'm going to give it a try. I think I'm going to do another workout today in case it falls through. Last full day of the challenge today!

7/07 - 167.8 - 19,000/129. I now have a 25 year old son!! In a blink of an eye. We will celebrate on Sunday, goal to just have a small piece of cake!!
7/08 - 166.3*- 19,300/133.
7/09 - 166.3* - 15,200/85
7/10 - 165.8 - 42,600/278 … 23.77km walk+ shopping steps, did 2 walks. I should have went for my 50,000 step day but I wore the wrong shoes. Did half my walk out of town on the waterfront was a beautiful day. Then some shopping and enjoyed 2 great coffees, just a day by myself. Tonight is my son’s birthday dinner will splurge a little, maybe a glass of wine, so I’d better get my walk in. Walk Forrest Walk!
7/11 - 165.3 - 25,800/176 ... Got in a good walk, took in some sunshine at my parents, then went out for dinner for my son's birthday. Great evening!! Probably ate at maintenance or higher. Had a small glass of wine an appy plus dessert. Ate light for breakfast and lunch but did try to do some cardio to balance everything out.
7/12 - 164.8 - 20,200/140. My walks were warm, slower pace than usual and this morning I probably am a little dehydrated. Also calories on the lower side of my goal as it was too hot to cook/eat.
7/13 - 164.3* - 19,900/135. Late evening walk, slower pace, still warm. Made chili lime salmon in airfryer and it turned out amazing. Was a Skinnytaste recipe, I like her recipes.
7/14 - 163.5 - 23,000/155. It's pretty dry in my bedroom think I have lost extra water during the night. My top is a lot tighter in the afternoon lol. Good nights sleep though.
