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 weighed myself this morning and I was 112.8kg. Then I had a nap and didn't eat anything, then went to the toliet and weighed myself again and I was 113kg? umm, what?!?

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 203 (my 135th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.

All but 0.2 pound of holiday weight gain gone. I'd like to lose a pound this round.
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. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

I am excited to be joining another round! You inspire me and motivate me not to reach for the snack pantry every night

Starting weight for R203: 161.6
R203 Goal Weight: under 160 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
10/24 - 162.1 (+ 0.5lbs) Oops! Thinking this has something to do with that time of the month though. Did an hour HIIT workout yesterday and stayed within my calorie goal.

10/25 - 163.1 (+1.5lbs) No clue what’s going on here 😂 Staying below calories. Did 1 HIIT workout and 1 Tabata workout yesterday + went for a walk. Maybe because I had to eat really late since I had a full day of workouts. I usually fast for about 12-14 hours in the evening/morning. I’ll see how it adjusts the next few days 😅 Maybe things improve when my period is over too. I’m still gaining muscle and putting in the work though, so it’s going to be all good eventually 🙏🏻

10/26 - 162.4 (+0.8lbs) Did an hour HIIT workout yesterday and stayed within calories. The past two days I’ve barely gotten any sleep, so it’s starting to take a toll on me. Taking a rest day today since I’ve been working out 3 days in a row. Going for 3 more days this week too, but it will involve more heavy lifting so I just want my body to feel fresh and ready.

""The Bigger the Mountain, the Better the View"

SW: 126kg
Day/Weight/Comment

10/24: 113.7kg I did lots of walking today, prepacked my lunch and did lots of babysitting. Unfortunately, the parents came home late so we had fish and chips and I got a chicken burger, then didn't stop eating. I had been eating really well for the last few days so I really blew it. I am feeling really disappointed with myself. Even though I was eating within my calories, my weight was going up a kilo a day, so I'm thinking the bulk of the vegetables has been going through my body at a slower pace and holding a parking weight so I know it's there (lol). I am expecting a swoosh weightloss in a few days. I am usually around 111kg. Tomorrow is a new day and my first day of in months, so I'm going to try and relax, eat a little less and not worry about exercising. Hopefully I can stay within my goal.

10/25: 112.7kg my weight yesterday was actually 113.3kg. I was happy to see a loss this morning. A loss and a surprise. When I don't know how much a food is worth, or I can't weigh it, I will pick an entry that I think is two or three times heavier, just to be safe. If I keep losing weight in maintenance, I will change tactics. It seems to be working for now. I really want to see 110kgs. I went for a long walk this morning. I stopped after about 12,000 steps because the bottom of my feet were starting to rub. I'm going to try and go for a short walk (maybe 500 steps) every 40 minutes or so and see if my sister wants to go for a swim as a nice distraction. I would love to see 20,000 steps today, but it's not likely or neccessary anymore. I burnt off enough calories that I can eat normally if I'm careful. I early had a soda before, but I have quit, so I'm glad I said no. Everytime you resist something, it gets easier!

It's my first week dieting in a long time, so I'm expecting the weight to come off a little faster. It may be a trap lol

Update: I had to pick up my niece from school and take her to dancing. My mum told me to get a coffee while she was dancing, so I got lunch instead. I got a big bowl of noodle/chicken/salad which was my first mistake (partly deep fried and lots of dressings) which was probably at least 1000 calories. I asked for salt and pepper and ended up choking on it, so I had to buy a water and then hide away in my car. I didn't end up drinking the water. Then I brought a chocolate bar. Then I went to my sisters house for dinner and had a tiny drink of soda. Then I went home and went crazy. I had a bag of resalted chips, a soda and some chocolate biscuits. So I don't know how many calories I've gone over by. I did a lot of walking today so my feet and thighs aren't feeling so great. I'm going to take it easy tomorrow, see if I can apply what I have learned so far and stay in a calorie deficit. I am having trouble with it, it feels like, what's the point? Am I actually going to lose weight? Everyone is going to be so disappointed in me, I made all of these big declarations. And most importantly, I'm disappointed in me. I guess I'm just not safe in certain situations. Like I should avoid the food court at all costs. My treadmill will be up and running in a few days or weeks so going for walks should be a bit easier. But still... you can't out exercise a bad diet.

I did something good today- I left before my sister served dessert.

One other positive thing that happened is my parents have decided to join my weightloss journey! yay for longer, healthier lives!

I weighed myself this morning and I was 112.8kg. Then I had a nap and didn't eat anything, then went to the toliet and weighed myself again and I was 113kg? umm, what?!?

10/26: 113kg I spent today feeling disappointed. Upset that I had cheat meals and bad calorie days for two days in a row. Really needing to sleep in. Feeling too sore to exercise. My sister came over and I spent the whole time wishing she would leave. I had chocolate fingers and soda for breakfast, healthy choice haha. Then I spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning my bathroom that my Autistic nephew trashed, mopping, cleaning the toliet and tidying the office that the kids have been staying in for the last twelve weeks or so. I carried out each toy, piece of clothing, book and piece of rubbish out to the appropriate area piece by piece, so I unintentionally got to 10,000 steps on my fitbit and the clean up of the office took three or four hours instead of the forty minutes it probably should have taken. But yay, steps! I then walked the dogs with sore hips and thighs, came home and watched some netflix, and then my mum came home and congratulated me on the house work I did for her and we had pork roast sandwiches for dinner. Hoping for a weight drop tomorrow! Today ended up being a good day, despite having a grumpy beginning!

joans1976 · October 2022

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 14th round and I have lost a total of 28.9 pounds so far while doing these challenges! 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.

SW: 250
UGW: under 150 ish
RSW: 202.3
RGW: 202 ish

I’m hoping to at least maintain this round. I have some pretty nerve-wracking medical procedures coming up and I’ve been eating my emotions.

10/24: 202.3
10/25: 202.3
10/26: 203
I feel like I’ve been so close to Onederland for FOREVER but it’s really just that I’ve been thinking about it forever and I need to chill.

funlakeboy · October 2022

First time posting my goals. Just need some motivation to get working on my weight/health again. I have neglected taking care of myself like I should for many years now. Tired of all the excuses I give myself. Time for a change, so I will be focusing mainly on my diet and limiting Alcohol intake. In the past this really worked for me and am looking forward to the new challenge.

10/24 125.2 -(added after a late morning weight after I forgot first thing. Guess I was retaining quite a bit of water). “Forgot” to step on the scale this morning. I also "forgot" to finish out the last round but I think it would have been a gain of 2 lbs! I have been really off track but I've been giving myself grace for the past week in the wake of the grandfather's death. No more of that, though, as I don't want to have to start over entirely. The service was very nice on Friday and gave me closure, and I was happy to see my dad was handling everything pretty well. I'm sure he'll have his ups and downs, but I think we all knew Grandaddy was ready to move on at the age of 97. This week I'm traveling for work Wednesday through Friday, then it will be Halloweekend with lots of parties so it's sure to be a challenging round for me again. I can do it, though!
10/25 - 125.4. Rough day here as my 20-month-old popped a fever overnight. He seems to be doing better, but the timing stinks because I leave for the airport at 4am tomorrow for a business trip. Very grateful my mom is still coming to help out. I’m 95% sure she already has been exposed to this via my nephew anyway. DH and I are going on a date to see Weird Al about 45 minutes from home tonight, so I’m really going to be burning the candle at both ends. I only hope the toddler can sleep through, unlike last night.
10/26 - 124.4! I don’t expect to stay here but it feels good to bust through 125. All of my sleep was in the recliner with my restless toddler, until about midnight to 3am. Then I couldn’t sleep due to travel anxiety until my alarm at 4, plus the kiddo needed me again. It’s going to be a rough day.

10/24 - 159.6
10/25 - 160.6
10/26 - 160.1 - It's down but not as much as I had hoped. Had to estimate calories on a chicken caesar salad from a bar/grill (it was the best caesar salad I've had). Went there after dropping truck off and hearing there's a high chance it'll be done by end of day. (Spoiler: it was not). Fortunately, it was so filling (and we ate so late) that I wasn't super hungry at dinner. I ended up only having one small taco which, by estimate, put me right at goals. And no exercise calories eaten back. Today BF promised to help FamHub and with only one vehicle (jeep has a flat) I will have to go into town with him to drive the car home if the truck gets finished. Tossed and turned all night so slept in an extra 30 minutes. No time for workout. Depending on what we help with at FamHub's (usually physical labor), I'll focus on squeezing in 10 squats here, 10 pushups there through the day to get that little strength building and movement. About to go pour my cup of coffee and I'll knock out 10 squats doing that to start the day strong!

Previous Day's Comments

10/24 - Not the worst for a weekend bump. Linner turned into dinner last night and all the sides brought me closer to calorie goal than I originally anticipated. I attempted to estimate logging, but could be off as with anything made by others. I did manage no alcohol, though! And only ate until I was comfortably satisfied and no more! Little things that will keep me on track. I also did a 10 minute bedtime yoga routine before curling up in bed which got me my 3 days of workouts. New week starts today with a 10 minute rowing workout followed by 15 minute flexibility yoga. Not sure plans for lunches or dinners this week but I haven't gone to the store. Trying to focus on paying off debt and limit the grocery bill to only as necessary. No fresh fruits or veggies so I think I'll add frozen fruits and veg to my list for the future. I do have some canned veg as well as the steamable packs to get through until my next trip. On to the weekly routine and (hopefully) progress!!
10/25 - Only thing I can think of is that dinner was a bit more salty than I prefer last night.... That and I'm pretty sore, mostly upper body/back but a little in the lower legs from yesterday's rowing workout. No workout this morning due to the soreness. May aim for a little yoga later on. Not entirely sure dinner other than BF pulled out some fajita chicken meat (he makes fajitas, burritos, and tacos from it). I splurged with breakfast as I was hungry and ate a piece of pumpkin bread I made over the weekend with my coffee. I've been craving coffee cake, but the bread is lower calories and less sugar. Plus, for someone who hates pumpkin flavor, it's not terribly bad! Will need to up the movement through the day as well as watch my food intake very carefully if I want to see a drop tomorrow, though. I have lunch planned (the frozen steam bags of broccoli with some of the chicken breast from yesterday's lunch), and logged both lunch and what I KNOW will be involved with dinner to give me a good idea of how close I am. Totally doable!

Original Starting Weight - 301.4
Lowest Weight - 190.0

10/24 - 209.2 - I'm just going through a rough patch right now. Hard to be motivated to get up and work hard. I don't know if I'm sick or just a little overworked. I got a 30 minute ride in this morning and a strength class. Hoping to do some more tonight but I'm already tired so we shall see... I'd like to see 207 during this 10 days.
10/25 - 211.0 - Well I guess this is the difference between weighing after a hard cardio workout and weighing after just strength. Have to get the eating under control that's the big issue. Obviously I can't work out as much with a baby so diet is so important and I just have to focus on that.
10/26 - 211.0 - Baby woke me up at 1:30am and 5am to eat. Still got a ride in this morning but man the stress eating is real. I have to focus on drinking water so I don't mistake thirst for hunger. I frustrate myself because I say this stuff and then grab an easy snack in the afternoon and then more at night.

Carry over from my grief splurge. This too shall pass. I’m hoping to get out for a long walk on our beautiful Rivergreenway.

10/25 - 177.6
That’s better.

10/26 - 178.2
Pitch-in lunch yesterday with my creative group. I did skip dinner, but also ate well at lunch and some of it was salty. Mostly healthy, though, so that was good. I think a lot of this is H2O. On track today.
