Day/Weight/Comment
8/25 / 162.6 / Good day at work yesterday, ate lighter than normal so I had a larger supper. Made sure to get my 10,000 steps.
8/26 / 163
8/27 / 163.4 / After an exhausting week at work, I'm at the lake relaxing for the weekend. Husband and I had a lovely campfire last night. I am going to pressure wash the outside of our trailer today.
8/28 / 163.4 / Pressure washing the trailer and our outside deck and furniture got me almost 6K steps and then I took my dog for a walk. Husband made ribs for us and our neighbors for dinner so I had late breakfast and then saved up for that meal. It was tasty!
8/29 / 164 / Rode the Peloton after work and it felt really good after a crappy work day.
8/30 / 164.6 / Stayed downtown after work to have drinks with a couple of my friends. Supper was therefore quite simple. Walked my dog when I got home. Lots of change at work so just putting one foot in front of the other.
8/31 / 163.8 / I had a work lunch for a coworker who is retiring next week. Tonight my hubby wanted a take out and TV night and I indulged him in that. Feeling tired.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 197 ( my 129th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round again is to lose. We go on holiday in 2 1/2 weeks! No binges, keep within calories & macros.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
8/25 138.4 - 12.71 miles walked, 50% exercise calories eaten back.
8/26 138.8 – No structured exercise yesterday, took little DGS out to a wildlife park, lots of walking but mostly pushing stroller & forgot to put Fitbit on ankle (doesn't count steps on wrist whilst pushing!), also he did a lot of walking himself – at very slow pace.
I need to get my food addiction under control; it's totally starting to take over my life again & getting of that spiral is difficult. There is not even any reason for this - I am blessed with my life & family being rosey at the moment & we are looking forward to our first holiday abroad in 16 days. Come on Phyl, take control, sort yourself out !!!
8/27 137.6 - pleased with that number, treated yesterday as a reset day & totally had perfect , eating feel much better with myself & caught up with sleep. No structured walking as DH & I travelled 4 hours towing or caravan to the coast for a long bank holiday weekend. Aiming to be consistent through ready of round.
8/28 137.6 - lovely sunny day striking down to and along the beach and back to 13.29 miles, ⅓ exercise calories eaten back.
8/29 138.2 - 9.89 miles, walked down to and then along the beach to meet up with family, had a glorious day playing in the sea and sand with all our little DGC (4), the youngest is now officially a toddler, how wonderful to see her toddling about instead of just crawling! They travelled up just to have a beach day with us, previous time to see them all growing up. ½ exercise calories eaten back.
8/30 138.2 - 17.03 miles walked ! Earned my first Fitbit Cleats badge for walking 40K steps; down to the beach, on to the coastal path and headed off to Scarborough and back. Under ¼ exercise calories eaten back, disappointed no movement on the scales, but I'll be patient!
8/31 138,2 - 6.15 miles walked, travelled back home, but not before we walked down to the beach for last look! ¼ exercise calories eaten back.
9/1 136.4 – whoosh !! weighed several times to confirm this !! No structured exercise as child care day for DGS hence 330 calories over.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

SW: 196.8
Goal this round: -3 lbs
8/25 - Did not weigh - My husband and I booked a trip to Disney and we will be leaving on Oct. 15!
8/26 - Did not weigh - Not fully committed, but realized I needed to start working towards a healthier weight.
8/27 - 196.8 - Let's do this! Committing to working out 3-4x a week & making healthier choices
8/28 - 195.2 - I had eaten a pretty heavy meal Friday (8/26) night so I’m sure that is why I dropped so much between yesterday and today!
8/29 - 195.4 - it is hard for me to make healthier choices. Plus I am sick so I’m not working out right now.
8/30 - 193.8
8/31 - 195.0 - this is why I don’t stick with anything 😞 I fluctuate like crazy!
9/1 - 196.0 - I did not eat healthy yesterday. I am going to try and focus on healthy eating today. Also, I will be drinking more water!

8/29 - 152.5 - Celebrated my daughter's birthday yesterday with Mexican food and birthday cake.
8/30 - 150.5 - I'm hoping this sticks. I've been working really hard to get my 10,000 steps a day. Yesterday, I walked in place in my office while reading reports.
8/31 - 149.5
9/01 - 150.5 - I had a feeling yesterday's weight was too good to be true.

ROUND 188-SW 179.2, ROUND 189-SW 180.2, ROUND 190-SW ?, ROUND 191-SW 174.4,
ROUND 193-SW 179.6, ROUND 194-SW 179.2, ROUND 195-SW 172.4, ROUND 196-SW 171.88/15: 171.8 I've seen this number so frequently, i shouldn't be surprised (and i'm not).
8/16: 172.2 not sure if this is from not drinking enough yesterday, or if it's because i've already eaten scrambled eggs and tomatoes
8/17: 172.2, 171.4, 171.2 take your pick. these are the options my scale gave me all within 1/2 hours time with no variable. do the spring scales do the same thing? ...back on topic....ate a maintain amount of calories yesterday, but it was high in carbs (ramen noodles). i did get to finally go for my walk! not as epic as the exclamation point implies. it was just a mile, but weight loss rate.
8/18: 171.2 good calories, good macros, and a good 2 mile walk
8/19: 171
8/20: 170.4 since i usually weigh myself before i eat, and i have already eaten today this weight is probably just more nonsense my scale is spitting out.
8/21: 171 over calories yesterday even with getting my walk in. seems like i do this at least once every challenge and always promise to correct myself.
8/22: 171.2 very disappointed with how i'm doing this round. reading my notes back, i should have been expecting such a poor result.
8/23: 172 i'm fine with this weight. i'm probably the same weight as yesterday. i usually weigh myself wearing my exercise (running shorts/shirt) clothes. today i'm wearing a t-shirt and and sweats which i'm sure weigh more. this will be my last post for this round. i will be taking off for almost a week. i'll be posting this in the new challenge, so i can find it easily upon my return. sure hope i can behave myself without having a scale to weigh food, or a scale to weigh myself.

8/29: 169.8 i'm super excited over this. i'm expecting it to go up again, because sat & sun were heavy carb. days.... but at least it looks like i can self monitor to not gain weight when the tools are not available.
8/30: 173.8 not exactly sure how deceitful that weight is. i have a dentist cleaning today, and am weighing in wearing my heavy bathrobe. i am expecting some weight gain from my heavy carb days also. oh well, i'll get it all figured out another day when i don't have morning appts.
8/31: 174.4 well now, all i can do is shake my head. i went shopping this morning, and gathered up some fruit and veggies. have already made myself a nice little kielbasa/green bean/ mushroom/potato/onion hash and portioned it out into 275 cal. portions. this weigh in is happening in the afternoon, so again.... not sure how deceitful the weight is. i know it's not far off (my short trip away, my friend made me cornbread.... i love cornbread) cornbread came home with me, i'm kinda in a hurry to get rid of it, so of course i'm eating it. can't waste a good cornbread. i did go for a walk this morning, so that's a plus.
9/1: 174.4 OK, now i know.... it's not a deceitful weight. it's my honest weight. it's looking like i most definitely CAN throw away good cornbread! calories were over by 130 yesterday, but that was prior to walking. getting back on track..... i really want to see the 160's!

2. Major Goal this round is to make even a little bit of progress toward my maintenance range.

/long bike ride before long drive home./ Now that DW has an E-Bike, I have trouble keeping up with her. She loves it, and actually gets more exercise using it because she isn’t ready to quit early. I like it because we can ride further together.
8/31: 216
/mowed grass/ As you can see, I did NOT do a good job of maintaining. We found an ice cream shop near us that had non-dairy ice cream for DW. I may have had a snaccidental malt a time or two..
Good to be back in the saddle with you all.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/25: 300 ⬆️ (+0.8 oz) I had some peanuts last night that were too salty. I believe this was the reason for the increase. Luckily, it's only a small one.
8/26: 302.2 ⬆️ (+2.2 lbs) This is definitely my fault!
8/27: 298.6 ⬇️ (-3.6 lbs) Finally lost what I gained and now I'm just below challenge start weight. I'm heading in the right direction now. 😀
8/28: DNW (Rest day)
8/29: 295 ⬇️ (-3.6 lbs) Part of this loss is probably water. (Daily calorie 1,600 and I eat most of those calories.)
Ate pretty healthy yesterday, and stayed under calories. Wasn't able to finish dinner last night, because it filled me up before I had done with the meal. Had a type of Mediterranean stir-fry (vegetables, beans, and eggs, with chicken breast strips, in a light creamy basil spinach pesto sauce- no rice or pasta.) It was good.
8/30: 295.8 ⬆️ (+.8 oz) I stayed under calories and ate pretty healthy. I know it will come off again like it has previously.
8/31: 295 ⬇️ (-8oz) Must have been a little water gain. 💦 🙂
9/1: 295.4 ⬆️ (+.4 oz) Weight wants to fluctuate on me.
I stayed within range and ate pretty healthy. But, didn't drink enough water.

❤️Round 197❤️
August 25 - September 3, 2022
Please join us starting on 8/25 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 197!
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

Not bad for no exercise, not logging food, and TOM + sickness bloat. Still feeling awful, but not QUITE as bad. Pressure in head was the worst yesterday. This morning its a tie between head pressure and the throat as I cough up phlegm. I know it needs out of my system but oh is it rough. BF is feeling better this morning. Said he doesn't feel 100% but he doesn't feel awful like yesterday so hopefully that means I just need to make it through today and I'll be on the up and up tomorrow. I've been focusing on rest and fluids which I will continue to do. Will try to log today, just to get an idea of where I stand. No pressue on myself, though. I promise!

Previous Day's Comments8/25 - All I can think of for the tick up is that there was a small portion of baked beans included in dinner. I was 480 calories under, 395 of them from exercise (and didn't under eat, total cals for the day were 1455). I fasted until around noon. Drank about 100oz water. I did say that it seemed if I sneezed wrong I gained. Last evening I was drinking my water when a sudden unexpected sneeze shot that water straight out my nose... At least it was just water. But I did gain. Hmmmm, maybe I'm on to something here... Found out that I will likely be traveling the week of Sept 19th to my work's HQ in Kansas. I'm working on preparing what I can do for food/exercise while I'm there. Plans not set in stone (few days vs full week, where I'm staying, etc). The hotels closest to the HQ both have fitness centers so hoping I can get into one of those. They are both within a mile of HQ so if weather cooperates, it's even walking distance for extra movement! I have a feeling food will be the challenge but that's why I'm trying to plan 3 weeks in advance: cover all my bases!
8/26 - From celebratory dinner (sodium fest) and champagne! Fam closed on their first house yesterday!! I'm rather shocked the scale didn't betray me more but I don't feel as bloated and heavy as I expected to this morning, either. Woke up at 5:15 feeling really bleh so I turned off my alarms and woke naturally at 6:30. Since I don't have work today and BF doesn't get up until 8 and start work until 9, I have plenty of time to knock out the rowing workout this morning despite sleeping in a tad. Doc appointment in the late afternoon and then picking up my last photo print from the family photos (canvas one should arrive next week via shipping). Not much else planned. Not sure about posting this weekend so concert tomorrow night in town for me while Fam and BF go out of town for their fantasy football draft. This weekend is the county fair so tentatively planning to see the horse races Sunday with everyone. Should be plenty of activity but need to watch intake! EDIT: 20 minutes. 4 rounds of 4 min on 1 min recovery. Whew. Sweaty mess, good thing I have time to shower before heading to doc's
8/27 - DNP
8/28 - Went to the fair with Fam and Godkids Friday evening. Poor Goddaughter had the stomach bug her mama had Tuesday. Unfortunately, yesterday BF got it and was down for the count. He ended up quitting the fantasy football league all together (He and Fam were talking this was their last year anyway) but was still too sick for the concert. It was a great time but couldn't even get water and it was an outdoor venue (hello sweaty mess). Great activity levels, but I'm bloated and holding on to water like crazy right now. I bought some liquid IV went I went to the store for saltines and soup yesterday. Been chugging my water all day after waking up with a bottle of liquid IV to replenish today in hopes tomorrow doesn't look too horrible on the scale and my workout doesn't suffer. Unsure dinner but I'm going to research something I can throw together that isn't too hard on BF's tummy. I'm still okay but I was around Goddaughter and BF with it so I'm not holding on a lot of hope of avoiding it. Just trying to boost myself as much as possible in hopes its not as horrible as they had it (at least I have forewarning and already got all the things needed to get through it!). Here's to a new week and hopefully one without sickness!
8/29 - No hugs needed, I'm still bloated and retaining water from the disappointing lack of water at the concert. Drank a ton of water and tea yesterday and managed to avoid the sickness so far. It also could be from the Activa yogurt I had yesterday. Testing a theory on my lactose sensitivites. Yesterday was lazy and ended up with a carby dinner which didn't help the scale any. Today's dinner is smoked beer can chicken according to BF. I know I have corn on the cob and asparagus for sides this week so one of those I'm sure will be used. I will base lunch off what I have leftover from logging dinner. Trying to eat a smaller dinner and larger lunch, too, so I'm not so full by bed. Getting prepared for my workout now. Won't say 'ready' because I am not at all ready. Mondays are hard, mornings are hard, I'm still battling my dehydrated-headache from the weekend (though it has gotten significantly better since yesterday!) I'm sure the workout will help it along, too, but doesn't mean I'm excited to do it haha! Good news is, other than labs, I got a clean bill from the doc. I had to go get labs done after my appt and she's going to get me scheduled if anything is concerning or send a little notice by mail if all is good. She's also getting me some meds that will help with lactose sensitivities. The Activa was an experiment as she's had patients that say that helps them with the side effects of lactose intolerance better than the meds. I didn't get stomach cramps so it didn't react like other yogurts, but I need to try another time when I'm not bloated and food is controlled better to see if it causes the same bloating other yogurt does. All doc-approved experimentation! She's the absolute sweetest thing, too. I really am going to hate when they get a doc in as she's just a temporary stand in nurse practitioner as my old doc (he was wonderful, too) retired. Ok enough procrastinating this workout. 20 minutes (5 min warmup, 5 min cooldown, 10 min hard row) and see if I have time for some yoga after is on the exercise menu for this morning. Then catching up on a long weekend of posts!
8/30 - All that liquid definitely did help drop some water weight. Stayed under base calories (not including exercise cals). Late start this morning, fitbit wasn't syncing and battery died sometime overnight. I usually get a notification on my phone at 25% battery but it just didn't happen. It's my silent alarm so my backup alarm went off at 6:30 instead of my usual 6 and I went straight into workout to make sure I had enough time. 20 minute complete row (10 min workout with warmup and cooldown) and it had me sweaty. Sad I didn't have the heart rate estimate to calculate exercise calories so I have to be careful to stay at or under base calories today. Unfortunately I woke up with a bit of a sore throat, similar to how BF was yesterday. He had a fever on and off all day and definitely had one when he went to bed. I don't feel feverish, but I do feel sluggish. Can't tell if it was because I practically jumped straight from bed to the rower or if my body is forcing me to slow down a little so I don't overdo it. Overall, though, I think I'm okay. I also think I'm in the clear from the stomach bug which is what I was really hoping to avoid, especially if I'm down for the count for 2 1/2 days hanging out in the bathroom like FamWife, Goddaughter, and BF. EDIT: We both work from home so we are isolated no matter what. If either of us feel sick in any way, we stay home since Fam is who we hang out with most. Godson has the liver transplant so we can't be around him while feeling unwell. He has doc appointment Friday with transplant team about getting tonsils and adenoids removed so really can't be near since this appointment has already had to be rescheduled once. Hopefully they can get a surgery date set soon so the poor boy can feel better!
8/31 - No hugs needed, knew it was coming. Full blown sick now. Hit me about 2pm ish yesterday. Started getting groggy, sluggish. The throat really started to hurt and lymph nodes swelled up. TOM coming in the next few days which is NOT helping me feel any better. I slept in since I know rest is important. No workout. Lots and lots of tea. Decided not to weigh because right now I need to focus on getting better, losing weight can wait. Plus pre-TOM bloat, despite expecting it, always throws me for a loop mentally. BF is on to the coughing stage of it all. Will monitor him through the day to see how he's feeling. We've had the same exact symptoms about 24 hours apart so it's a nice gauge to see how things are going for me and how I can prepare myself best. He's not really into herbal medicine and teas and won't really take the pre-emptive measures like I am, so if we both have to get sick, I'm glad he's ahead of me so I CAN do the herbal remedies and teas BEFORE it gets worse. Thinking of getting a curbside pickup tomorrow and sending BF to pick it up after taking truck in. Something is broke in what we think is suspension and appointment tomorrow to get it looked at before warranty is up. Unfortunately, not sure how long that appointment is so hard to schedule. And I know he won't touch honey (he's allergic) even if they're sealed for me if I just send him in (I'm almost out of it with all the tea!) Decisions decisions...

Here’s to a successful new round for all!
8/26 - 178
I had an appt with a new internist today. Went well, and I like her. My bp is up slightly, so I’m motivated now to lose some pounds in the next 4 months to lower it (among other reasons) before my follow-up-on-tests appointment.
8/27 - 179
Whaaa??? Ok, whatever. Salt maybe. I did have some ice cream, but my total calories were still below goal. Have a great Saturday!
8/28 - 178.2
Beautiful morning here, and I’m off for a walk with Rory, my pup. It’s soup day—I’ve made a different soup every Sunday since the start of the year—so I’m trying to figure out which new recipe to try today. Fun! Enjoy your day, all.
8/29 - 178.2
Soup last night was zucchini and corn chowder—I used creamed corn and cut WAY back on the half & half the recipe called for, making calories per serving less than 200. It was delicious. But I did overdo it with snacks later. I don’t know why I get into crazy binges of meaningless food. We don’t keep any junk food in the house, but even so, I can find calories to ingest. Luckily I’m doing it less frequently, so there’s that. Ok, off to teach my competition obedience class and train my pupper. Have a great Monday!
8/30 - 178
I’m feeling very disinclined to do anything useful today.
8/31 - 178
Had some ice cream last night. Not really worth the calories. Oh, well.
9/01 - 179
I’m not surprised, as I’ve been doing some emotional eating lately. Problems with my dog (not new—ongoing since I got him and getting worse despite training and socialization) so I’ve been calorie compensating, which has to stop. Otoh, I’m getting lots of exercise between training and gardening and walking…. I’ll try to clean up my act.

I have done this challenge before and it really helped keep me on track to healthy living. I have since gained most of that weight back (and then some) but I'm not discouraged. I am a 21-year old varsity college athlete who is just looking to lean up a bit - taking small goals at a time as weight-loss isn't my goal - just trying to lean myself into a healthier lifestyle.Round 146: -5.1lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
8/25: 189.4 - just can't seem to break 189...
8/26: 188.4 - wondering if I'm entering too large of a deficit to lose, finding it difficult as I burn around 1,000 calories during training camp a day to eat enough to even come close to a -250 cal deficit, it's always usually around -1000 cal
8/27: 187.6 - finally dipped back down to that number I saw in the last challenge... now the goal is to maintain it
8/28 - 187.2
8/29 - 187.6 - haven't posted but weighed - not bad considering I binged last night
8/30 - 188.0 - more binging last night and a rest day... seems to be particularly bad on rest days
8/31 - 188.0
9/1 - 187.0 - such an encouraging number. Yesterday was an excellent day. Ate out at lunch but stayed within my deficit, got hungry late at night and instead of making a big snack I just ate a small portion of food until I wasn't hungry anymore. Things are starting to look up I think.

8/28: 215.7 … stepped on the scale three times, I can’t explain this number
8/29: 216.2 … knee is feeling much better. I was able to move a lot more, I was considerably more active.
8/30: 215.7 … mildly productive day. Made better choices yesterday. I’m up and on my way to the gym today with my daughter at 5:45. Hopefully setting the stage for a great day
8/31: 216.9 … over did it on homemade monkey bread and cheese it’s. Only drank 47 Oz of water & didn’t get enough steps in. I always notice a bump up in weight when I start back at the gym. Something about DOMS and lactic acidosis retention, blah blah. All I hear is monkey bread & cheez it’s.
Waiting for my daughter to get up for day two of our 6:00 am gym sesh. Today is going to be chest & tricep.
9/01: 218.0 … my daughter punked on the gym yesterday, I told myself I was going to go without her, but I failed. I drank plenty of water, stayed in my calorie range and fasting hours. I didn’t move enough though. Spent three hours at a doctors appointment for my daughter. I only got 4.5 hours sleep the last two nights and I was just grumpy yesterday. Dinner last night was SUPER salty (don’t know how that happened) so, I’m hoping the jump in weight is just water. I’m feeling some residual ickies in my mood from yesterday. I forgot what time my kid said we were going to the gym today, but I am up and ready. Going to have some caffeine and go wake her up

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 almost 5 years with amazing results!
