Day/Weight/Comment
10/4: 131.2 - The problem with ending with all-time low weight at the end of the last round…Had quite a large number of exercise calories, but probably should not have eaten them all back.
10/5: 131.8 - Too many sweets…
10/6: 130.1 - Unintentional strategy: didn’t get my workout in at all, so kept my calories low. Then at 9:30 last night, realized I still had time/energy for a workout. Literally the last thing I did before going to bed (that and a shower) so I didn’t eat back any of the exercise calories. I don’t think I would do it all the time, but the mindset of not eating back my workout calories is an interesting one.
10/7: 128.5 - I have no explanation, other than perhaps yesterday’s unintended strategy is reflected in today’s number. Our flight leaves at 6 am tomorrow morning, so I’ll see if I remember to weigh.
10/8: 130.7 - Did a 20 minute walk at the airport and didn’t eat pretty much the whole day until dinner and then the wine and snacks after dinner. I’m sure the last hour did me in.
10/9: DNW - Traveling - Got my workout in this morning, but the time change has our eating patterns a bit messed up.
10/10: DNW - Traveling - Good day today with exercise and eating. Amazing how your calories are controlled when you don’t snack!
10/11: DNW - Traveling - Got my workout in before sitting in car for 6+ hours. Eating was lots of snacks.
10/12: DNW - Traveling - Today was a 12-mile hike with about 2,000 feet elevation gain.
10/13: DNW - Traveling

Day/Weight/Comment
10/4 / 172 / Started the day with an early work issue. On my way to the office now. Will walk at lunch and then my dog will need to go out after work so that will likely be my exercise for the day.
10/5 / 172.8 / Ate lots of salad yesterday, got over 14K steps, and rode the Peloton.
10/6 / 171.8 / On our way to Ontario to visit my MIL for Canadian Thanksgiving. Got lots of steps around the airport.
10/7 / 170.2 / Yesterday was a later night getting into Toronto so my meal timing is a bit off. Just had a good hotel breakfast. Today we drive north to my MIL's town but not without a few stops first.
10/8 / 169.4
10/9 / 168.2
10/10 / 169.8 / On the flight back home after our weekend visit with my MIL. We had a great time. Fairly sedentary but the purpose was to spend time with his mom. Thankful for the trip.
10/11 / 169.8 / Going to bed a bit earlier tonight and I'm going to do a meditation before I do.
10/12 / 169.2 / Happy I'm on track for my round goal. Today was better at work. One day at a time.

Awesome! Thank you as always for posting @quiltingjaine! These challenges really keep me motivated and you are a great group of people! ❤️
This will be my 12th round and I have lost a total of 26.3 pounds so far! This challenge brings me the most success and is much easier by breaking up my goals into smaller chunks.
I have one very solid goal, to be in Onederland by 12/17/22, after that, let the weight come off how it does.

Lots of stress here, usually my weight goes up during stress. My appetite has been non-existent so I’m sure that’s part of it. Hoping for a calmer weekend.

Salty takeout for dinner last night. NSV: I went shopping at my usual plus sized store yesterday. I am one size away from sizing (down) out of it to where I can shop in “regular” stores! Great feeling!

10/13 - 159.8 - Whew, in the 150s again just in time for end of round. Yesterday was much better eating-wise and I managed all my water. Did get the 5 minute yoga in. No workout today but some meditation. Mental workouts are just as necessary and right now seems like the perfect time to do them to assist with my stress levels! Work is ramping up. I was assigned a new project yesterday morning (on top of all my other projects) and then right as quitting time came around, saw a notice about another project I'll be starting near the end of the month. Wowza. I am NOT sure how I'm going to do this. I need to figure out a good organization method for multiple projects and quick! Especially if I want to avoid stress eating... this will be interesting. Good news: Grandpa was more awake and alert yesterday. He isn't fully there, mentally, but he was able to open his eyes and he recognized my grandma (he couldn't do any of that a few days prior). My aunt made it there and was able to see him as well. He also recognized her, which is a very good sign. Not out of the woods, but MAJOR improvement from Tuesday's report. Aunt gave a little more technical report to my ma, but she didn't share too much with me on that other than what's mentioned above. Ma, dad, and I are staying put right now until we have more updates because they're in a similar situation as I am work-wise.

10/10 - Between a full week of vacation and my birthday celebration yesterday, I'm actually not mad! I was very much expecting to be over 160 so seeing I'm still in the 150s is super exciting! I figured I needed to check in today to get a baseline starting point if nothing else. Unfortunately, my Fitbit finally, after 3 years, crashed and burned. I ordered myself a new one as my own birthday present and it should arrive tomorrow afternoon. I woke up naturally today 3 minutes before my noisy alarm and figured I might as well get up. BF took today off to recuperate a bit more and I don't need my phone alarm waking him up early, either. Going to ease into some morning yoga this morning since I wasn't planning on being awake and recovered enough for a workout. I'm not sure of dinner today but we have leftover smoked ribs from dinner yesterday I want to use up for lunch today. Hoping a week off from work doesn't make today super stressful for me and this transition back to reality isn't difficult, particularly in the stress-eating area. Glad to be back to all you wonderful people!
10/11 - Expected as I rehydrate. I know it'll take a up to 3 days after rehydrating for my body to drop the water weight I've been holding on to. Yesterday was the first day I tracked and made sure I had my usual 90oz in full so I'm not expecting to see a drop until tomorrow or Thursday at the very earliest. Luckily I learned this by being a part of this group so long. I realized yesterday that I was part of this group when we hit 100 rounds. Now we're past round 200! Wowza. Thank you all for being so amazing and supportive. It's because of you I'm taking this uptick so well and I'm easing back into routine rather being upset with myself and hurting myself by going too hard too fast. Now, for day 2 of yoga (AND MY FITBIT!!! It is scheduled to arrive today and I'm BEYOND excited. My wrist has felt naked these last few days (it died Thursday morning last week) and I dislike having to carry my phone around the house to see the time, set timers, and to track if I've moved enough. Which, by the way, hasn't worked because I don't typically carry my phone with me if I'm coming right back to my desk)
10/12 - A very slight loss despite some emotional eating.. I ate 2 extra brownies and an extra glass of wine yesterday that I didn't log. Good news: brownies are gone and the only wine left is corked. Grandpa is in ICU and was put on dialysis. He had surgery a few weeks ago which got infected and has had several surgeries since to remove infection. Naturally, his primary surgeon is now out until next week and the other surgeons are going based only on doctor's notes. I'm not sure whether I should drop everything and go up there or wait. I don't have any vacation time left unfortunately so I'd be going unpaid (which I can't really do) or have to figure out how to work full time while visiting.... but it seems bad and I don't want to lose my chance to see him if he passes. My aunt should have arrived sometime last night to my grandma's and she's going to give my parents and I better updates on the situation so we can plan appropriately. Also, if I disappear for a bit, this situation is why. Going to try for a quick 5 minute yoga because it's about all I can fathom doing at the moment and I feel I need to do something since I put on my workout clothes rather than comfy clothes. Also, fitbit arrived yesterday and is all set up. Silent alarm for the win!

/did not exercise as planned/ I spent 6 hours with my dad at the emergency room last night. What seemed like it could have been a stroke, ended up being a terrible case of bronchitis, which made him dizzy. Glad it was not a stroke, but he needs to take better care of himself and go to the doctor when things aren’t right. He wears his avoidance of medical help like a badge of honor. My mom on the other hand will go to the Dr. for a hang nail. Quite the pair.
10/5: DNW
/nada/ We had a dinner party at our house last night and DW must have hidden the scale so guest wouldn’t see it in the bathroom. Let me also say I was not eager to find it after last nights me
10/6: 217
/meetings galore. No activity/ Didn’t expect this jump in scale reading. I guess I shouldn’t expect anything at all if I don’t pay attention to what I eat and do at all.
Sometimes dealing with whole numbers can make things look more depressing. I was just “this close” to 216.
Per ER orders, dad is to see his GP within 3 days. I made the appointment, and I am taking him. This looks like the beginning of an era.
10/7: 215
/walking/ I need to get back into logging my food.
10/8: 217
10/9: 215
10/10: 216
/fishing with DGS (and DS)/ My scale does not know what to think about this yoyo. Lately I have been logging breakfast, then forgetting about it the rest of the day. And it shows.
10/11: 217
/nothing/ lots of Book work. And eating. The gradual lessening of daylight puts me in a funk.
10/12: 214
/spinning & stretching/ yoyo. On another note, I guess you all know this, but MyFitnessPal no longer lets me scan barcodes for my food log without paying for Premium. This is very irritating. Scanning bar codes is one of the better features, now lost.
10/13: 215
/meetings instead/Well this has been a disappointing round. At least have a net loss, but the 10-day average is up.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
10/4 - 💪🏻✏️⏱🚫 128. My body LOVES this weight! It just keeps coming back up whenever it drops below or sitting here for days on end. If I want to get down to my ideal weight, whatever it ends up being, I’m going to have to rein in my weekends quite a bit. I’m definitely in a pattern of being on plan all week, undoing it during the weekend, then spending the following weekdays recovering.
10/5 - 💪🏻✏️⏱🚫 127.4. Phew! Getting close to my lowest recent weight. Hope to keep the ball rolling in this direction.
10/6 - 💪🏻✏️⏱🚫 126.2! Yay! Definitely feeling progress toward my goals this week. Yesterday I walked the dogs and did a Peloton ride. Today I'm planning to do a mountain bike ride with a friend as long as no meetings come up for this afternoon. I've been missing the outdoors due to my Peloton addiction, and the leaves are really starting to pop around here now. Tonight I'm going rock climbing for the first time in ages. I used to go multiple times a week but having kids and moving from Colorado to Virginia has really put a damper on it. It will be my first time in probably 2 years! I weigh significantly less now so hopefully it will be easier. Then tomorrow I'm taking a half day and we're taking the kids hiking for the afternoon. It really feels like I'm leaning into my past outdoorsy life. Sorry for all the chatter, just feeling excited!
10/7 - 💪🏻✏️⏱ 126.2. I'm okay if I stay here a while. The rate of weight loss is getting slower and slower. I have to focus on work this morning since I'm taking a half day so my only workout will probably be a short hike with the littles. But I'll be carrying one of them (32 pounds) so that should make it more of a workout. Happy Friday everyone!
10/8 -💪🏻⏱ 124.8?? That seems wild. I don’t expect to stay here because I really went off plan yesterday on our little family outing. Hoping to do better for our other outings today!
10/9 - 💪🏻⏱ DNW
10/10 - 💪🏻✏️⏱128.4 - New scale accounts for part of this, but also I didn't track all weekend. But the new scale seems to be about 3 pounds higher so I don't think the damage was quite as bad as it looks! We went to a pot luck yesterday and the food was sooo delicious but impossible to accurately track. I guess I could have figured it out but it didn't really seem worth the effort. Excited to get back on track for the week today! Unfortunately, with my scale change, I'm probably not going to hit my goal but that's okay.
10/11 - 💪🏻✏️⏱🚫127; maaaaybe I can make it to 126 by Thursday? I’m still paranoid the weekend will catch up with me! Maybe it wasn’t quite as bad as I thought. Going to try to do an extended fast today and make a chicken feast for dinner tonight.
10/12 - 💪🏻✏️⏱🚫125.4! Hope I can keep it down for the end of the challenge May not get a workout in today since the three-year-old is home with a bad cough. When I'm not taking care of him I'll need to be working. I may strap him onto my back and walk the dogs at least. They really need it but unfortunately they lose priority whenever things are out of equilibrium here.
10/13 - 125.6. Up a little from yesterday but still exceeded my round goal of 126! That's 2.4 pounds this round, woohoo! It hasn't been linear of course. Maybe in a few rounds I'll find my UGW. Yesterday I celebrated 100 days of logging into MFP by taking a stroll down memory lane. I've been part of this challenge for 10 rounds and it has been amazing for me! When I started in R192 I weighed 142. Thanks so much @quiltingjaine! These challenges are invaluable.
For NSG this round:
💪🏻 Intentional exercise 8/10 days - yes
✏️ Tracking 10/10 days - no, skipped this past weekend. 8/10
⏱ Fasting > 16 hours 9/10 days - yes!
🚫 no alcohol 6/10 days - yes, after today!

Salty lunch yesterday, and a bit of snacking last night. It’s ok. Today is one of my no-dinner days, and I’ll be out walking for tracking class I’m teaching for 2 or so hours this evening, so it will fall off again. We have gorgeous weather—perfect October gold. 🍁🍁🍁

I was up early this morning to get to our club’s K9 nose work trial, so weighed a bit earlier than usual. Came home with Rory’s first sports title — Novice Containers, meaning he found the designated scent concealed in one of 12 closed boxes in each separate run. Good boy Rory! Here he is examining his ribbons.
10/9 - 177.6
Weird food day yesterday, so I’m not surprised. But I still plan — and I have a plan! — to be below 177 by the end of this round! Beautiful chilly fall day—off for a walk with my pup.
10/10 - 176.8
Ok, back to where I was the end of last round. Maybe I can do a bit better by the end of this one!
10/11 - 177.4
I hate when that happens! No particular reason as my calories were on target, so who knows. Time will tell!
10/12 - 177
DH gave me his cold, so last night I soothed my scratchy throat with chocolate mint chip ice cream. I’m surprised I’m down a little this morning, though over all I didn’t eat much yesterday. Whatever! It’s cold and rainy today, so Rory pup will have to make do with a few backyard ball games cuz I’m not going walking in the drizzle with a cold! 😁 Anyway, I can’t believe another round is almost a wrap. Wheee!
10/13 - 177
Okie dokie. See you next round!

@_JeffreyD_ Check out Senza. It’s free and scans barcodes, allows you to enter recipes (a bit of a learning curve) and the tech people are very prompt with replies to problems. You don’t have to guess where to search for answers. It is geared toward lower carb eating but that could be a good thing. There are recipes and articles on your newsfeed. If you are a carb watcher, you can set for net or total carbs. I’ve been using it for several years now.1

@Machias1949 If you fast before your bloodwork is drawn, over 8 hours can result in a higher number. They always write “fast 8-12 hours” on our scheduling slip. It was higher when I fasted for 12. Mine has been about 209 for years and I won’t take a statin either. I’ve done the fat free, reduced fat routine and have been doing higher fat low carb for over 5 years with the same results. At least my current doctor doesn’t argue when I say “no.”0
