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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

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.

9/15 / 170.4 / Had a good day exploring Sidney yesterday with family and new friends. Today we are going over to my husband's cousin's house for french toast and then we are going to Butchart Gardens.
9/16 / 170.8 / We are on our way East slowly making our way back home by Sunday, but first we stop in Penticton, BC for two nights. On the road now after a fun day that started with high tea, a bus tour around Victoria, and then the ferry ride back to the mainland.
9/17 / 172.4 / Off to bike to wineries today. Not as warm as I'd like, but that might be a great thing when we get working up a sweat on the bike!
9/18 / 174.4 / Driving home today and back to work tomorrow. This vacation has felt amazingly long and I am so thankful. My husband and I made many beautiful memories with family and with each other.
9/19 / 173.6 / Hoping this means yesterday was the peak of my gain from vacation. Time to get back on track. Today was back to work and I made out okay. Got a walk in at work and a short one again after. Food is on track and I'll get on the Peloton after the Bills game.

The whole of this round I am away abroad on holiday; no scales. I am trying to choose food wisely, portion control & restrict adult beverages to no more than 2 or 3 per day in an effort to refrain from too much of a gain 🤞.

Day/Weight/Comment

9/14 - 150.5
9/15 - 150 - I've been working really hard to get at least 10,000 steps in a day the past couple weeks. That includes joining our county metroparks hiking spree and walking in place at my desk. It has not helped with my weight loss as much as I would have liked, but I am really enjoying getting the extra movement in my daily life.
9/16 - 149.5 - Husband and I walked a 2 mile moderate trail yesterday evening. I am feeling it in my legs this morning. It is a good feeling though.
9/17 - 150 - I had 2 small pieces of pizza last night, so I'm assuming this is sodium. We're planning another hike for today.
9/18 - 150.5 - Went hiking yesterday and got in my 10,000 steps. I've logged all my food this week and have stayed within my weight loss ranges. This has to be more sodium from the steak we had last night. Nothing to do but keep trying. We're going to our local zoo this morning to take a mile and a half walk and check out the animals.
9/19 - 149.5 - After the zoo yesterday, I took two more walks at my local park to get in my steps.
9/20 - 150.5 - I have stayed within my food macros, my calories, and stayed active for the past week. Today I have colonoscopy prep, so if my weight is not down tomorrow, I may have a temper tantrum.

ROUND 197-SW 172, ROUND 198 -SW 170.4

9/4: 170.4 this is the weight i have to report on today. i wish it was higher (dang scale) so when i report next sunday it would look like a loss. there's a neighborhood cookout today. gonna try to stay away from the carbs. and the mixed drinks... good gosh, when i get together with these people they'll always hand me something and say "one little (insert food/drink here) isn't going to hurt ya." i can overcome "one little", but they don't seem to understand there's 30 of them! that's too many "one little's"!

9/5: 169.8 did not log meals yesterday because of the cookout. 99% of the food was especially bad for someone dieting. there was a charcuterie board that had a little corner of strawberries, everything else high fat/high carbs/high calories. my little dip in weight is probably from mega stress i've been trying to deal with which slammed my emotions hard yesterday. this morning the coping skills back in check. i haven't been able to go for walks for some time now. Dr. tells me it's sciatica, but i've had constant pain for over a year now. the pain flares up to a point that i just don't want to move at all. taking anti inflammatory and muscle relaxers is not helping, and my follow-up is not until the 29th. i may end up trying to see him again sooner.

9/6: 169.2 have to take an unexpected trip for a few days. i hopefully should be back before this challenge ends.

9/11: 168.2 only visited the scale once today, so that's probably not a valid weight. i'm expecting it to be higher once i get back into my regular routine. they had a spring/analog scale where i was at, and it said i was 170. probably more accurate.

9/12: 169.8 another invalid weight. it's afternoon, i've already eaten, and i'm fully dressed. it's an encouraging weight also though, because i've broken all my rules for weigh in and i'm still below 170!

Day/Weight/Comment

9/14: 167.8 went 300 cal. over my weight loss, but remained in my maintain. also, went on a chocolate binge last night. feeling pretty guilty about that. i did drink plenty of water, which probably accounts for the loss.

9/15: 166 macros looked like i was practicing keto yesterday. cheeseburgers scheduled for lunch today, with the buns, so i'm expecting a gain. plenty of water.

9/16: 166.2 i need to develop better coping skills. went over in calories by 200

Day/Weight/Comment
9/14- 128.8. 💪🏻✏️⏱ Third day at this weight. I have been SO hungry for the past few days. Not sure if it’s the changing weather, adjusting my calorie goal down, or what. But I’m proud of myself for stopping eating at 7:30 yesterday. I wanted to eat everything in the house. Hoping to be less hungry today. So far so good.
9/15 - 128.8. 💪🏻✏️⏱ 🚫 4th day at this weight but it isn't surprising. I am wanting to eat everything. I need to make some more satisfying food choices.
9/16 - 129.2. 💪🏻✏️⏱ Not surprised. I've been pretty much breaking even every day calorie-wise. I don't know why. I guess my body is really wanting to get back to its set point. It was easy for a while but now that I'm getting closer to goal it's getting harder every day. Today is really rough otherwise because my youngest is home from daycare. He threw up overnight but seems fine other than some snot, so at least our weekend won't be impacted much as long as he stays the course. I had a productive day at work yesterday so at least I was kind of sort of caught up!
9/17 - 129.2 💪🏻
9/18 - 133.6 💪🏻✏️⏱
9/19 - 132.4. 💪🏻✏️⏱🚫 Fell off the wagon for the whole weekend basically. Gotta get back on track today!
9/20 - 130.4. Thankfully dropping some of the weekend weight. Yesterday was the first day all challenge that I've actually had a deficit! Hoping this time as I lose I can continue the downward trajectory. It's definitely going to take some focus. Yesterday was a good day fitness-wise and I'm hoping for a repeat.

Please join us starting on 9/14 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 199

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.

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

I was hoping to be 125lbs before Key West but if I am 127 that will be fine as well. It will be nice to see friends and hear how our reefs are doing. Tonight is (chicken) taco night.

9/15 216.5 (avg 216.0) I’m up 1.4 pounds from last week. I’ve really lost hold of my momentum and motivation. Starting the day fresh.

9/16 216.6 (avg 216.1) Football game tonight. We always stop for food after the game, so my choices throughout today are going to have to be really good.

9/17 215.1

9/18 216.9

9/19 217.4 (avg 217.1) My girl child is starting intermittent fasting with me today and we are heading out to the gym before school. I feel really tired today. I know it’s because I haven’t been eating well And I’ve been super lazy. As long as I keep trying and don’t give up fully, Something will finally click.

9/20 217.7 (217.3) Well, I’m wide awake at 5:30am ready for the gym. Just waiting for my kid. I did really well yesterday. I stayed under 1300 calories, increased my water intake, hit leg day at the gym. The scale doesn’t reflect that, but I find when I slack off from working out and go back to it, I see a bump in the scale and then a sharp drop. Let’s see if that happens this time.

Day/Weight/Comment

9/13 - 177.4
I thought I’d see a drop as my calories were very low yesterday—I missed breakfast and didn’t eat much else due to feeling yucky from vaccines. Oh, the mysteries of weight loss!

9/14 - 177.6
I fell of the wagon a bit last night, but that’s ok, back on today. I was hungry. 😁 I just got back from a lovely “sniff walk” with my dog. It’s cool and lovely out.

9/15 - 177.8
Delayed reaction from Tuesday. No problem. Tonight’s my no dinner night because Rory & I will be at doggy school, so that will even out my daily calories. 😉 I’ll hope for a drop tomorrow.

9/16 - 177.8
Nope. But I was on target, so no sweat.

9/17 - 177.4
It’s a gorgeous Saturday and I have roses to plant. I’ve gone a bit rose crazy this summer—highly recommend Heirloom Roses! I’ve been ordering from them and am very happy with what they send! Anyway, mucking around in the garden keeps me from eating, so my report is relevant. 😁 Enjoy your day!

9/18 - 178
Darn it. Partly salt/water. Ok, onward.

9/19 - 177
Okie dokie.

9/20 - 177.2
Got lots of walking on rough ground last night teaching a tracking class and then running my pup on a long track, then really bad foot cramps when I went to bed. I have to remember to take my magnesium! I’ve been slacking off. Also need to stretch more—my legs and feet feel tight. But it was a lovely evening and it was great to be out in the open for a couple of hours with people and dogs. Lots of fun!

@deepwoodslady Donna, I have never been a breakfast person but as a kid I “had” to. Now, with no guilt trip laid on, I BREAK my FAST when my body tells me. I’ve also learned that if I eat too late, I wake hungry. That said, I have somewhat fallen off of my own wagon and need to get my own act together. We can do it with each other’s support.

09/19 -197.8- (Trend weight 198.5) Hmph….Best day in a long time. Dietary was perfect. Added some exercise yesterday including a hike along the river with my son. I didn’t understand the big drop yesterday so I suppose this big increase today is a balancing of the books. I did about half my usual hike. When I got to the biggest hill I had to turn around as my breathing was already labored. But it felt great to get out in the woods and on the trail. I would push water today but when I do it just pools at my ankles and doesn’t help the scale. But it does help with my frequent dehydration so……. Choices, choices.

09/20 -199.0- (Trend weight 198.6) Definitely taking my water pill today. Couldn’t yesterday due to having to run too many errands. Ankles are tight and shiny. Weight is up on the scale. Bad sleep last night, not feeling so hot today. Travel tomorrow to the hospital for some testing. I’ll be getting a Doppler on my legs to check for blockages due to their inability to get a pulse in my left foot and symptoms showing up in my right. I will also be getting another EKG because my breathing has not improved since the stent was placed in my heart. They are doublechecking blood flow before my pulmonary testing in Oct. I am not going to let my health stop me, instead I am letting it motivate me.

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.

9/14 119.0 Finally TMI relief after several days of stress but I ate a small churro with OMAD. Post op doc for DH this morning.
9/15 120.0 We went to Great Greek yesterday. I ate 1/4 pita. Talked with daughter about gluten, she and both of her girls have tried to eliminate it due to the inflammation and bloating. Since I avoid bread in general, I guess I have also pretty much eliminated gluten.
9/16 119.0 Brunch with DD#1 and my BFF. DD flew home last night arriving at her car at about 10:30 then driving almost an hour home.
9/17 119.0 (Somehow I skipped my personal diary entry)
9/18 118.0 Hello 118! Nice to see you again. Today will probably be Great Greek as we have become “one” of the Sunday Regulars and the manager worries about us if we don’t show up. We went to Walmart and Sprouts yesterday.
9/19 119.5 Great Greek yesterday DH played pinocle, today he plans to go to Tripoley. I’m making a rotisserie chicken for dinner and my BFF is going to enjoy that with us.
9/20 119.5 It’s been cooler the last few days - highs in the 90s - and my water consumption has dropped. Getting a haircut this afternoon and will see DGGS who is now 12.5 weeks. He’s changed so much!
