Day/Weight/Comment
9/4- 130.6
9/5- 130.6
9/6- 131.6
9/7- 130.6 (weight back to where I started) AM: Rather than continue working out for an extended period of time once a day I have read NIH’s 2012 study and am going to try and break the long workout into 4 shorter 30-minute workouts (with the same total daily calorie loss) and see if that helps. PM: I had a tough time eating 1200 calories today; between writing and exercising, I forgot to eat lunch. I will try harder tomorrow to stay on a healthy calorie count—MY GOAL: To Increase my walking speed from 2.5 mph to 3.0 mph by the 10th.
9/8- 130.0 AM: First time in over a month I slept through the night -I can not remember the last time I got 8 hours of sleep and my scale is inching closer to the 120 numbers ( I am doing my happy dance) PM: Damn, got a call and will be going out to dinner with husband’s business associate: this has the potential to blow up my diet! Banked an extra 300 burned calories through exercise-just in case I need them.
9/9- 130.0 AM: Turns out there was not much on the Menu last night that I liked. It was therefore easy to remain on my diet. It also helped that one of the women at the table had not gained one ounce during covid-I was so jealous. Turns out we are sharing a 2-bedroom villa with her (who I really like) and her husband in Key West in a few weeks I really need to work hard to fit into my shorts. PM: had hoped to be at 129 by today but I will remain like the tortoise and hope to finish the race. MY GOAL for tomorrow is to be 129.5 and have a 32” waist

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.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 198 ( my 130th). Thanks again @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round again is to lose. We go on holiday in a week's time, so from 12th onwards it is doubtful I will be able to weigh (not lugging the scales on the 'plane!!), but I still intend logging as best I can and keeping up with the posts. 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
9/4 137.4 – yes, sodium flushed through! 14.11 miles walked, 2/3 exercise calories eaten back.
9/5 137.4 - 10.66 miles walked, 60% exercise calories eaten back.
9/6 137.4 – 11.39 miles walked, less than 20% exercise calories eaten back.
9/7 137.4 – 5.02 miles squeezed in yesterday before hair appt, quick coffee with a friend I'd not seen since before xmas due to her health problems & then birthday lunch for DS, hence 355 calories over. I did have to guage calories of lunch, think I chose well; teriyaki salmon with rice, think I over guessed. Feeling & looking better in the mirror, obviously the scale doesn't agree!
9/8 138 – 8.83 miles walked & an hour yoga class – first time since May!!! Half of exercise calories eaten back.
9/9 138 – no structured walking; day with little DGC.
9/10 138 – 10.67 miles walked, but I fouled up: ate all the exercise calories & more – why?

Day/Weight/Comment
Previous days' comments behind spoiler.9/4-133.8. Not surprised to see a gain. We had sushi and dim sum takeout last night for our anniversary. I did go overboard but most of the gain is probably attributable to salt and TOM’s unexpected arrival. I’ll get back in the saddle today.9/10 - 130.2. Still no loss this round but I am no longer perplexed. There is something amiss in my calorie goal on MFP. I need to check out my settings. When I met my goal on MFP yesterday I thought my calorie count seemed high. I looked at my Fitbit data and I had pretty much broken even for the day, so maintaining my weight absolutely makes sense! Glad I sleuthed that one out. Happy Saturday everyone!
9/5 - 130.2 Phew, glad to see the water loss today even though I was confident I couldn’t have done that much damage in a day. DH and I are still testing positive for covid on Day 8. The kids aren’t but we just presumed they were positive anyway. They still have symptoms, so deciding whether or not they can go back to daycare is tough. Selfishly, I would rather send them, but if I were a parent of another child in the daycare I would want them to stay home until the sniffles are gone. Ah the mental gymnastics required by parenting through a pandemic I would rather not have experienced. Ugh. Anyway I just finished up a good Peloton ride and am going to try to relax with the family for the rest of the day. Have a good holiday, to whom it applies!
9/6 - 130.2. I am determined to see the 120s this week! Turns out the kids aren’t even allowed at daycare until 10 days after symptoms onset, so my littlest is home until at least Thursday and the 3 year old is home for the rest of the week. Also my husband and I are not allowed in the building until we test negative, so I’m not sure how that would work anyway. Covid sucks.
9/7 - 130.2 AGAIN. Ah well, it'll catch up with me I'm sure. I made a really salty stir fry last night. I ended up going for a jog last night after my youngest's bedtime because I was grumpy and didn't get a chance to work out yesterday between work and childcare. I'm hoping we can find more balance, or at least more zen, today as we try to manage this.
9/8 - 130.4. Maybe I won’t see the 120s this week after all. I had salty leftovers last night so I’m hoping I can up my water and see better results. But if I’m being honest with myself I am not making the best food choices. This week has been so hard. I know a lot of people have it a lot worse but I’ve certainly been throwing myself a little pity party. We did have a better day at home yesterday, but then my youngest was up every hour from 10 to 3 last night then awake for the day at 6:15. I'm really not sure what's going on with him.
9/9 - 131.6. Kinda perplexed by this other than the salty foods I’ve been cooking this week. Very weird because I weighed the same when I stepped on the scale last night. Ah well, gotta ride the fluctuations.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/04 - 179
Jeez, I’m 40 pounds heavier than I was 4 years ago and just can’t seem to get a grip on myself. I obviously need a new approach. I know what I need to know about nutrition. I don’t know why I’m sabotaging myself. Sigh.
9/05 - 179.8
Yikes. But I know why.
9/06 - 178.8
Whew. Back on track.
9/07 - 178
Ok, the gain is coming back off. I’m managing my macros, aiming for lower fat/higher protein and complex carbs than I’ve been eating over the summer. I’m trying to get to the levels recommended by GenoPalate, based on my DNA, to see if it really does make a difference. Also trying very hard to keep my calories considerably lower for a while. Basically, I need to stop kidding myself.
9/08 - 178
Yesterday was another good day, calories & macros right on target. Yay!
9/09 - 177.6
Funny, but dropping the regained couple of pounds makes me feel lighter, proving that every little bit helps!
9/10 - 177.8
But my moving average is dropping steadily. 😁 Have a lovely Saturday, all!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/4: 134.9 - Holding steady. Finally finished most of the leftovers from our dinner party on Tuesday. Finally seeing some daylight in the refrigerator and freezer. Got my workout in, but spent most of the day doing sourdough-related prep (2 Tartine Country Loaves, 2 cranberry-walnut loaves, 2 ciabatta loaves, 4 balls of pizza dough). Most of those will go home with my daughter and her boyfriend or into the freezer.
9/5: 133.4 - Yesterday was a bit of an odd day. Lots of baking (in the heat) and then daughter requested a spring roll salad that I had made before and a blueberry pie since she had 7 pounds of blueberries she was bringing from Washington. Added those two things (plus the ice cream to go on top of the pie) to my diary and realized that almost all my calories for the day were going to into that one meal. Decided the high-octane calories from the Trader Joe’s Vanilla ice cream wasn’t worth it and went and got a “light” version. Also decided that probably should do an OMAD day and it worked out pretty well. This is why it is important to track and pre-track.
9/6: 132.4 - Got my jazzercise in very early in the day while we could still have the window’s open. Temperatures hit 108F in our area, which is waaaaay above normal for us. Luckily we have air conditioning and I succumbed to turn it on around 4pm. We have 4 more scorching days forecasted, so unfortunately the AC will be on more than it has ever been (we at most turn it on once or twice a summer). Tried to keep all this in mind with my eating and had a heavier salad for lunch (leftover spring roll salad with peanut sauce) and a light salad for dinner. Pre-planned for the the leftover blueberry pie and ice cream so stayed under calories.
9/7: 131.4 - After having tracked for just over a year now, sometimes I still don’t understand how this all works. Could it be this excessive heat we’re having that is sapping up all the water weight? I feel like I’m hydrating enough, but who knows. I guess we’ll see when (hopefully) this heat wave breaks in a couple of days.
9/8: 131.4 - Another high heat day, so got my workouts done early. The rest of the day was spent hydrating and trying to stay cool.
9/9: 132.9 - The scale taketh, the scale giveth. Another excessive heat day. Got my workouts in before noon but it was still hot. Hopefully today is the last day. Ate fairly well but mostly stayed indoors and sat around all day.
9/10: 132.5 - Got my workout in early since we were doing our volunteer gig all morning and it was expected to be another hot day. The heat wave is finally breaking though. I was so sick of salads after a week of them for lunch and dinner that I ended up having avocado toast on homemade sourdough bread and dinner was also carb heavy with bucatini with zucchini butter and pesto (Smitten Kitchen). Really delicious and fit within my calorie plan. We’ve been getting those mini seedless watermelons lately and they are so refreshing for so few calories.

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!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

9/4 120.5 I got together with my “old” gal pals yesterday. Charcuterie board, “Buffalo” nuts and toffee nuts as well as a couple of adult beverages. I had “made” the nuts and discovered that a lot of the Buffalo seasoning was in the box so was ate some of that after I got home and drank lots of water. Perhaps I have retained some H2O but still no TMI. Maybe the excess water will help. 🤷♀️🤷♀️ Not concerned
9/5 120.5 Great Greek yesterday and left overs today. DH surgery tomorrow. Still no TMI - stress related? Finally TMI long after weighing.
9/6 120.0 Leaving in 30 minutes to take DH for shoulder replacement.
9/7 120.5 Surgery went well. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Now to survive the recovery! heehee **Headache, upset stomach and much TMI - sure this is stress related
9/8 119.5 DH is home in one piece. He’s in pain and feels “miserable.” I think I slept well last night. Maybe I didn’t sleep well, I can’t stop yawning.
9/9 119.5 Yesterday was pretty much a protein day.
9/10 119.0 I got 8.5 hours of sleep last night. We had a surprise visit yesterday from DGGS and his grandparents while his mom was still at work. It was a nice surprise but we were both worn out. Today I’m picking up a grocery order.

❤️Round 198❤️
September 4 - 13, 2022
Please join us starting on 9/4 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 198!
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.

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

9/4: 186.0 - a pleasant surprise. Did not count calories yesterday as I had a game and usually nutrition-wise I am usually a little more lenient as I tend to consume a lot in preparation for a high-intensity match with large cal burns. Last night was also a night of drinking which may turn out to be my vice when it comes to healthy living. A lot less motivated today to do anything such as meal prep on my day off.
9/5: 188.0 - yikes. hoping this is just a fluke. Off from exercise all week due to an injury so the deficit is especially important.
9/6: 185.8 - first pumpkin spiced latte of the season yesterday and omg... it was so good
9/7: 186.2
9/8: 185.0 - doing shockingly well considering the lack of exercise
9/9: 184.8
9/10: 184.8 - it's been tough not binge eating the past few days with stress... going out drinking tonight again so tomorrow's numbers may not be great. If anyone has suggestions for indulging with drinks while sticking to a deficit they would be muchly appreciated. I tend to drink seltzers anyway.

9/6 / 165.6 / Back on the road today after a beautiful time in Manitoba celebrating my Aunt's wedding. As you can see my weight crept up while I was here as I had 3 back to back indulgent days. I'm glad to see it's slowly coming down again. We leave tomorrow to head west to Vancouver for my husband's bike race so I am still facing about 10 more days of vacation non-routine days. Finding ways to stay active will be key.
9/7 / 165.2 / We are heading west today as far as Kamloops, BC. Got a later start on the road as my husband had to meet his bike mechanic this morning for the final tune up before his Gran Fondo. We ate at a diner on the road and I chose something heavier than normal.
9/8 / 167 / On the road to Vancouver today. Beautiful part of the country to drive through. Before we left we had a very short time to check out some of Kamloops. Very cool place. When we get in we are going to find a bar to watch the Bills game at.
9/9 / 168.6 / Low day of movement yesterday and we ate two meals but they were both large. Plus desserts! Having a blast. I'm so happy in Vancouver - it's one of my favorite cities. We are heading out to explore in a bit but it will be a shorter day, in bed by 8 as my husband's bike race starts at 6 a.m. tomorrow.
9/10 / 171.4 / Up at 4:30 today to help get my husband ready for his Gran Fondo. Proud wife day for sure, he did so well! I went to the gym and did my 1 hour Peloton workout before I drove myself from Vancouver to Whistler to meet him at the finish line. We had a very delicious supper to celebrate his accomplishment.

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.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 198 ( my 130th). Thanks again @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round again is to lose. We go on holiday in a week's time, so from 12th onwards it is doubtful I will be able to weigh (not lugging the scales on the 'plane!!), but I still intend logging as best I can and keeping up with the posts. 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
9/4 137.4 – yes, sodium flushed through! 14.11 miles walked, 2/3 exercise calories eaten back.
9/5 137.4 - 10.66 miles walked, 60% exercise calories eaten back.
9/6 137.4 – 11.39 miles walked, less than 20% exercise calories eaten back.
9/7 137.4 – 5.02 miles squeezed in yesterday before hair appt, quick coffee with a friend I'd not seen since before xmas due to her health problems & then birthday lunch for DS, hence 355 calories over. I did have to guage calories of lunch, think I chose well; teriyaki salmon with rice, think I over guessed. Feeling & looking better in the mirror, obviously the scale doesn't agree!
9/8 138 – 8.83 miles walked & an hour yoga class – first time since May!!! Half of exercise calories eaten back.
9/9 138 – no structured walking; day with little DGC.
9/10 138 – 10.67 miles walked, but I fouled up: ate all the exercise calories & more – why?
9/11 138 - 13.06 miles walked yesterday, all but 158 calories eaten back. Sitting at the airport now with a coffee waiting for the gate to open to board the plane.

9/10: 214.9 (!) Yikes! I’ve been under my calorie goal but have been under a lot of stress and had to eat out yesterday which adds sodium. I think this will be my first round where I’ve actually gained which is a bummer. I can’t let this bother me too much, I have too many other things to worry about right now. Keep on truckin!

Day/Weight/Comment
Previous days' comments behind spoiler.9/4-133.8. Not surprised to see a gain. We had sushi and dim sum takeout last night for our anniversary. I did go overboard but most of the gain is probably attributable to salt and TOM’s unexpected arrival. I’ll get back in the saddle today.9/11 - 130.4. The 120s are so elusive. I ran a 9/11 memorial virtual 5k this morning. Felt good to run a “race” even though I was alone. Going to try to clean the house today and hope to get back to normal post-covid life (and daycare!) tomorrow.
9/5 - 130.2 Phew, glad to see the water loss today even though I was confident I couldn’t have done that much damage in a day. DH and I are still testing positive for covid on Day 8. The kids aren’t but we just presumed they were positive anyway. They still have symptoms, so deciding whether or not they can go back to daycare is tough. Selfishly, I would rather send them, but if I were a parent of another child in the daycare I would want them to stay home until the sniffles are gone. Ah the mental gymnastics required by parenting through a pandemic I would rather not have experienced. Ugh. Anyway I just finished up a good Peloton ride and am going to try to relax with the family for the rest of the day. Have a good holiday, to whom it applies!
9/6 - 130.2. I am determined to see the 120s this week! Turns out the kids aren’t even allowed at daycare until 10 days after symptoms onset, so my littlest is home until at least Thursday and the 3 year old is home for the rest of the week. Also my husband and I are not allowed in the building until we test negative, so I’m not sure how that would work anyway. Covid sucks.
9/7 - 130.2 AGAIN. Ah well, it'll catch up with me I'm sure. I made a really salty stir fry last night. I ended up going for a jog last night after my youngest's bedtime because I was grumpy and didn't get a chance to work out yesterday between work and childcare. I'm hoping we can find more balance, or at least more zen, today as we try to manage this.
9/8 - 130.4. Maybe I won’t see the 120s this week after all. I had salty leftovers last night so I’m hoping I can up my water and see better results. But if I’m being honest with myself I am not making the best food choices. This week has been so hard. I know a lot of people have it a lot worse but I’ve certainly been throwing myself a little pity party. We did have a better day at home yesterday, but then my youngest was up every hour from 10 to 3 last night then awake for the day at 6:15. I'm really not sure what's going on with him.
9/9 - 131.6. Kinda perplexed by this other than the salty foods I’ve been cooking this week. Very weird because I weighed the same when I stepped on the scale last night. Ah well, gotta ride the fluctuations.
9/10 - 130.2. Still no loss this round but I am no longer perplexed. There is something amiss in my calorie goal on MFP. I need to check out my settings. When I met my goal on MFP yesterday I thought my calorie count seemed high. I looked at my Fitbit data and I had pretty much broken even for the day, so maintaining my weight absolutely makes sense! Glad I sleuthed that one out. Happy Saturday everyone!
