My older girlfriend will travel with me and I will take her shopping while out of town. I am so glad to see I am staying in Onederland, even in spite of everything. Very motivating! I ended up having an echocardiogram (ultra sound of heart) yesterday. I had it all mixed up (thought it was just an EKG) so there will likely be more answers coming. Also had the leg dopplers. I await results.
09/23 -199.8- (Trend weight 198.7) Hanging on by a thread. No travel today after all. Maybe Home Depot will have my order ready by tomorrow. Danced 4 songs yesterday (carefully) and rode the exercise bike for a bit. Meals were good but I ate an extra one last night with extreme hunger. It showed up. It’s such a tattle-tale.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/14: 131.4 - Normal workouts and packed most of my calories at the end of the day (not intentional). Stayed up reading way too late, so not that much sleep. I was supposed to get my Covid booster shot today, but the pharmacy cancelled saying they hadn’t received any doses yet. Trying to get it done in time before we travel in October.
9/15: 132.1 - Ended up getting my booster shot when my husband went in for his shot. They were nice enough to squeeze me in. He must not have any side-effects since I hear him exercising right now. I, on the other hand, am doing my best impression of a slug.
9/16: 132.1 - Was down and out all day yesterday with a slight fever and aches so didn’t get any exercise in. Wasn’t all that hungry either until evening. Feeling much better today.
9/17: 131.8 - Another skipped day of working out. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t do any workouts 2 days in a row. Back at it though this morning.
9/18: 131.8 - Back on track again. Got my workouts in, good eating and pretty good sleep. My goal is to keep this up the rest of the round before we head off backpacking when things won’t be as routine.
9/19: 131.4 - Only did Jazzercise in the morning but did not get my walk in since it was raining off and on here. Eating choices were limited since we were in desperate need of a trip to the grocery store. I don’t usually like to go on the weekends to avoid the crowds, but we didn’t have a single thing green left in the refrigerator other than herbs. Luckily, unbeknownst to me, the local NFL football team was playing at the same time I went to Trader Joe’s, so it wasn’t too crowded. :-)
9/20: 131.0 - Can’t really explain the drop. Eating at the very top of the calorie range, normal workouts and poor sleep.
9/21: 131.0 - Ate under my calories (wasn’t hungry). Got my workouts in and fairly good sleep last night.
9/22: 131.6 - Both workouts done. I was a little stressed waiting on some news (turned out fine) so was not that hungry during the day. However, evening was a different story. Stayed within my calories.
9/23: 130.7 - This round continues to baffle me. When my weight goes up, I can think of set of plausible reasons why it happened (high sodium, ate over calories, etc.). When the weight goes down, I’m really not sure. It’s not like I’m in a calorie deficit at a weekly level. Oh well, I’ll take it.

9/14 - 161.7 - 11,100/65 SO is home. Sushi for dinner. Some tummy issues.
9/15 - 160.3 - 12,900/72. Not a good sleep woke up with stomach cramps.
9/16 - 160.3 - 11,100/70. Dinner out with dessert. SO was super grumpy today, lots of work stress going his way and things not running smoothly. I stayed low!! Hope today is better for him and for me. With just .4 to next goal, a weekend and SO home seeing 5's will be a challenge to hit in the next 2 days. Happy Friday!!
9/17 - 160.6 - 11,200/65
9/18 - 161.8 - 9077/36 - Lots of driving and visiting today. Lowest steps in awhile.
9/19 - 161. 6 - 11,500/31- Great day of cleaning up, things have been pretty messy with son and gf in our basement, starting to be able to breath again lol.
9/20 - 159.7 - 17,400/111 - Hooray a 5, now to keep it!
9/21 - 158.5 - 19,300/104 - Feeling energized. Went through my closet and found out I have a lot of jeans and I always think I don’t have any. What I don’t have is Fall work pants. Plus a dislike for most of my tops. Lol. Going to Toronto for a few days soon and need to figure out what to bring and I’m only taking a carry on. Happy my clothes are smaller in volume now.
9/22 - 158 - 20,400/129. Lots of energy still. After my walk I just keep doing things around the house. Getting hair done today, maybe hide all this grey. Has been awhile since I have coloured my hair, I think mid covid. It doesn't bother me but it will be a fresh look and just semi permanent Have a new hairdresser finally. A little hungry this morning, not a usual feeling but excited for breakfast. Have a great day all.
9/23 - 156.6 - 13,800/70 - When I stepped on the scale and looked down after it registered it said I gained 12 lbs but then I figured out it thought I was my son, who hasn't used this scale in about 2/3 years. I'll take that as a win! No second walk but I did wonder some shops after my hair appointment. God I wish I had a live in hairdresser, I am no good at hair. Happy Friday everyone!!

Hi, I’m Kathy.
58, F, 5’8”
Back for my 20th round after missing a few!
Return to MFP SW (Dec 2021): 267
HSW: 265
RSW: 217.0
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
9/14 217.0 Hi everyone! I’m so glad to be back – I missed y’all. The last two months have been incredibly stressful and busy both at work and at home, and something had to give…unfortunately it ended up being these daily check-ins. But I did stay on plan most of the time, and I’m proud of that. Meals for today are planned and logged, and I’ll work out before handbell rehearsal tonight.
9/15 215.8 Surprising drop considering I barely slept last night, but I’ll take it. We are going on a Mediterranean cruise in late October for our 30th anniversary and I’m aiming for 210 by then. Don’t know if I’ll make it or not, but I’m going to give it my best shot. Meals for today are planned and logged, and I’m going to move my workout to lunchtime in hopes it gives me energy to get through the afternoon. ‘Cause I’m kinda dragging, not gonna lie.
9/16 216.8 Unsurprising. Had a couple of drinks at happy hour with a friend last night and ate dinner really late. Plus I skipped yesterday’s workout. Happy Friday!
9/17 DNW
9/18 217.2
9/19 217.4 It wasn’t a good weekend. Got one workout in but that’s about the only good I have to say for it. I didn’t make positive choices and it caught up with me. Back on track, though. Catching up on posts from the weekend and drinking my water.
9/20 216.4 Better day yesterday foodwise, not necessarily activity-wise. Meals for today are planned and logged. DH has been out of town and comes home this afternoon, so we’re having fish to welcome him home!
9/21 216.2 Struggling with anxiety this week and I’m not sure why. Right now, I am white-knuckling this whole eating biz and just telling myself “no, no, no, you don’t need the peppermint patties that have been hidden in the top of the closet for the last nine months and that you haven’t eaten in all that time.” If I start, one won’t be enough. Trying to get immersed in work enough to take my mind off everything else. Meals are planned for today.
9/22 215.6 Got through yesterday, even though it was hard. Still not in a great place today, but a little better. For some reason I had MFP recalculate my daily calories yesterday and they dropped by 100, so that will take some adjustment. Meals planned and logged.
9/23 215.6 Happy Friday! I am enjoying our first real taste of fall weather today. Hoping for a good weekend because we have a ton of stuff to do, which will keep me up and moving. See you at Round 200!

Well, the next few days will determine if I go to the Keys or if I pack up everything on my back porch, I have hurricane windows so at least I will not be boarding up!

I’d like to join you all for this round. During a visit to my GP yesterday (for something else entirely) she pointed out that I’m a bit heavier than I should be for my height. Of course I already knew this, but I’ve been lacking the willpower to do something about it. It surely can’t be a coincidence that this challenge is starting on the very day I’m looking for some extra motivation 😊
SW: 174.2 lbs (Jan 2022)
Day/Weight/Comment
9/14 170.8 lbs
9/15 169.8 lbs It was pouring with rain at lunchtime and I had a choice between going to a fitness/strength training class or sitting in my nice warm office and reading a book. Miraculously, the class won!
9/16 170.4 lbs Ate out at a Turkish restaurant last night after another medical appointment across town. I avoided the bread but did eat most of the fries because the garlic sauce was delicious. I’m probably safe from vampires for a while!
9/17 170.4 lbs Worked from home yesterday so had to make a conscious effort to get my steps in. Quite pleased that I managed to get to just over 15,000, as my step count can be woeful when I don’t walk to the office.
9/18 168.6 lbs Grocery shopping and chores got me to 10,000 steps so I spent the rest of the afternoon crocheting xmas decorations (I’m slow, so I’m starting early).
9/19 167.8 lbs Went for a 7 mile walk early yesterday morning, and it definitely feels like autumn is in the air here. Collected some windfall walnuts on the way – those will be saved for some lovely blue cheese salads.
9/20 168.4 lbs At a work-related conference.
9/21 168.4 lbs Still at the conference, but super pleased with my 2.4 lb loss in this first week since I started logging again.
9/22 167.8 lbs Went to my fitness class at lunchtime again yesterday. Dinner was homemade chicken madras with a naan bread instead of rice.
9/23 167.2 lbs For anyone that understands the wacky British weighing system, I’m now under 12 stone for the first time since April 2020. My success is definitely due to the accountability of this challenge, so a big thank you to all of you. Off to find the thread for round 200… 😊

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!
9/21 120.5 We went to a Mexican restaurant yesterday. The taco salad tortilla bowl was warm and fresh. I couldn’t resist! I got my water in. Community bingo tonight.
9/22 121.0 Bad food choices all day yesterday. I think the stress is really getting to me. DH is distressed because he doesn’t yet have a referral for PT - 2.5 weeks post op!!! He’s called everyone and no one knows anything about it! Surgeon has submitted at least twice but it seems to go into a black hole! His distress is causing me stress!!! Health care at its finest! NOT!!!

I am about 8 kg along the way to lose 32 kg. I use multiple tape measurements (cm) around my body because they aren't affected by salt intake. My weight has been dropping for 5 months now. Apparently I've been trying to lose weight since September 2012, the last time I was at goal weight. Let's see if stopping eating sugary food is going to change things.
Heaviest ever 1st Jan 2021, goal+31.8 kg

9/14 215.3 (avg 216.0)
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.
9/21 215.9
9/22 216.4 (216.8 avg). Had a great workout at the gym today. I had an hour to kill before bringing my daughter an açaí bowl, so I went down by the river and walked the trails for about 40 minutes.

I’d like to join you all for this round. During a visit to my GP yesterday (for something else entirely) she pointed out that I’m a bit heavier than I should be for my height. Of course I already knew this, but I’ve been lacking the willpower to do something about it. It surely can’t be a coincidence that this challenge is starting on the very day I’m looking for some extra motivation 😊

Day/Weight/Comment
9/14 170.8 lbs
9/15 169.8 lbs It was pouring with rain at lunchtime and I had a choice between going to a fitness/strength training class or sitting in my nice warm office and reading a book. Miraculously, the class won!
9/16 170.4 lbs Ate out at a Turkish restaurant last night after another medical appointment across town. I avoided the bread but did eat most of the fries because the garlic sauce was delicious. I’m probably safe from vampires for a while!
9/17 170.4 lbs Worked from home yesterday so had to make a conscious effort to get my steps in. Quite pleased that I managed to get to just over 15,000, as my step count can be woeful when I don’t walk to the office.
9/18 168.6 lbs Grocery shopping and chores got me to 10,000 steps so I spent the rest of the afternoon crocheting xmas decorations (I’m slow, so I’m starting early).
9/19 167.8 lbs Went for a 7 mile walk early yesterday morning, and it definitely feels like autumn is in the air here. Collected some windfall walnuts on the way – those will be saved for some lovely blue cheese salads.
9/20 168.4 lbs At a work-related conference.
9/21 168.4 lbs Still at the conference, but super pleased with my 2.4 lb loss in this first week since I started logging again.
9/22 167.8 lbs Went to my fitness class at lunchtime again yesterday. Dinner was homemade chicken madras with a naan bread instead of rice.
9/23 167.2 lbs For anyone that understands the wacky British weighing system, I’m now under 12 stone for the first time since April 2020. My success is definitely due to the accountability of this challenge, so a big thank you to all of you. Off to find the thread for round 200… 😊
As a fellow Brit I'm with you !! It feels such an achievement when you get into the next lower stone !!2 -

9/14 / 171.4
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.
9/20 / 172.6 / Got Peloton ride #2 of the week in the books tonight.. it was a tough one but I did it! My husband gets back from his business trip tomorrow and I can't wait!
9/21 / 172.4 / Donated blood at lunch today so I'm taking it easy on the exercise front tonight. I did do a lot of walking today so I'm well over my 10,000 steps. Waiting for my husband to get home so we can spend some time together before bed.
9/22 / 170.4 / Back to my lowest weight so far this round. Work stress feels all consuming.
9/23 / 168.4 / Nice to be back in the 160s. Trend weight is coming down. Work stress is at an all time high and I overeat as a result of it two times this week. Need to figure that out.4 -

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.
