      ~ still havenโ€™t been weighing in, logging food or working out. Also, I havenโ€™t been eating that great, so Iโ€™m gonna assume quite a bit of bloating going on Will be officially logging food on Monday and then weigh in on Monday night!

      ~ Remember to weigh-in before bed
      ~ Iโ€™m nervous about overeating tomorrow and I have no real game plan to prevent it from happening. I wish I could say โ€œIโ€™ll just have self control.. and Iโ€™ll be alright!โ€ But that seems unrealistic especially with drinking and a bunch of family grouping together๐Ÿซค

    64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 206 (my 138th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.

    Same goal this round as last; to lose a pound. No binges, keep within limits.
    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.
    End of round 69 134.2 lbs

    Iโ€™m Amanda - 37 years old, 5โ€™2โ€
    R206 SW: 124.8
    R206 GW: 121.4 - I realize this is a huge stretch goal but Iโ€™m just keeping my same goal as the last round which would have only been a one-pound loss. Just suffered a round of self-sabotage and trying to get back on track!

    Day/Weight/Comment
    11/23 - 122.6, thatโ€™s a relief! I finally had a good day and must have flushed a lot of water and other (TMI) stuff out. I did not sleep well. I stayed up too late watching a Christmas movie (Falling for Christmas with Lindsay Lohan was so cute!) and woke up early to the sounds of mice in the wall. We just canโ€™t seem to get rid of those buggers. My old cat is not a mouser and apparently her smell doesnโ€™t work as a deterrent. The only thing weโ€™ve ever had success with is a โ€œhumaneโ€ trap but it kind of feels the opposite of humane. However, they eat the bait right off of any snap traps weโ€™ve tried.
    11/24 - Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating! We are just going to my brotherโ€™s house for the afternoon. I made deviled eggs, Mac and cheese is in the crockpot, and I just need to put together my beet/pistachio salad. I ran a self-guided 5k with the dogs this morning and felt good! Hope everyone has a great day!
    11/25 - DNW
    11/26 - DNW
    11/27 - DNW
    11/28 - 124.6 Whoops! Forgot to weigh in or check in the whole holiday. I tried to catch up on some reading here but have a lot to read. We did a second Thanksgiving at our own home with friends yesterday. The food was rich and I drank too much, which resulted in a lousy night's sleep. Only 3 work weeks left in the year for me so I have to really step on the gas, ugh. I think the alcohol plus TOM really amplified the Sunday Scaries for me--I literally did not sleep :(
    11/29 - 124.8. Not going the right direction here. I'm really bad at tracking Thanksgiving and its leftovers so I am probably eating over my calories. DH is sick and I have a mild cough. The nature of my cough was reminding me of what I had during covid but my test was negative, phew. Having both kids home for two weeks would not help me accomplish anything at home or at work.
    11/30 - 122.2, making my goal of 121.4 not seem like *such* a stretch! I was so busy with work yesterday I ended up just having one meal, but it was sushi and so delicious! My 3yo loves sushi, more than I even realized, so next time we'll have to order more. We were all a bit hungry afterward. During the day I managed a good leg workout and an endurance ride on the Peloton. Today is dog walk, core workout, and a Peloton ride hopefully. Work continues to be bonkers so we'll see. Looks like I will be traveling the week of December 12th, which I did not want to do, but I guess that's just the drawback of being WFH most of the time.
    Late edit but I just realized I've officially lost 20 pounds since July 1! I've been waiting for this milestone and it nearly passed me by!! :)

    12/1 - 123.0 Ha, so much for that 20-pound loss. But that's okay, it will be back. I had a good day yesterday. I'm adding a lot of strength training to my routine so who knows what the scale is going to do. I went up from 15 to 20 pound dumbbells (so from 30 pounds to 40 pounds) for my heavies for my leg workout on Tuesday. Yesterday I did core, and today will be 20 minutes of upper body. I'm trying to follow Peloton's "roll call" plan (for any fellow Pelotonians). Hopefully today will be good since tomorrow is the last day of the challenge, agh!! Where does the time go?

    SW: 146.2
    Count me in for this round. My goal is to weigh less than SW. I lost 1.2 pounds last round but it was a struggle. My weight fluctuated up and down. This round I will continue to plan/track meals, exercise even though traveling, and avoid late-night snacking triggers. I am, I can, I will, I do!
    Day/Weight/Comment
    11/23: 147 - Had 2 NA beers with pizza last night which was a small win since I usually drink a high-calorie hazy IPA with my pizza. I'm looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with family in NC. Two things I heard on the Today Show that I'm going to try - 1) Eat slowly; and 2) Take a walk right after the meal.
    11/24: 147 - DNW - Traveling
    11/25: 147 - DNW - Traveling
    11/26: 147 - DNW - Traveling
    11/27: 147.2 - Gained 0.2 during Thanksgiving while spending lots of time with family. This is not bad! If I can weigh less than SW at the end of this round, I'll be happy.
    11/28: 147.8 - Gained 0.6 more since yeserday. I did the late-night snacking last night; all healthy foods, but the calories add up.
    11/29: 146.2 - Down 1.6 lbs. from yesterday and back down to my SW. If I could only keep this up. I followed my plan and worked out for almost an hour yesterday (Peloton spin, weights, and stretching). I avoided the late night snacking. The article at the following link was helpful and has some great tips for skipping the late night snacking - Late night snacking could be ruining your health โ€” hereโ€™s how to trick your body into stopping. It helped last night.
    11/30: 145.6 - I had to pick up DH at the airport at midnight last night (11/30). I find it hard to go to bed after coming in at night, so we watched some TV and boy did I want to get into that late night snacking once we were back. I and some chips and split a beer with DH, then stopped myself from going all out. I "thought" about some of the tips in the article in my 11/28 comments. I need to read them again. :blush:
    12/1: 146 - Up 0.4 from yesterday. Ugh. I worked out and stuck close to plan, with no late night snacking. I cooked dinner late because the day ran away with me, and I topped it off with a Lindor chocolate ball for desert. I wanted two!

    11/25 / 171 / Busy week at work. Have a lot to do this weekend. Some of it will involve food. Some of it will involve exercise. Working to get back in the 160's.
    11/26 / 172.2 / Started the day with yoga with a friend. Lunch was larger but then I went for a walk with my dog. Also on my feet a lot getting some cleaning and Christmas prep done. Dinner at a friend's house tonight.
    11/27 / 174 / I woke up and hopped on the Peloton right away. Love when days start that way. My husband and I are off to Banff for their Christmas Market. We have a special supper booked for afterwards.
    11/28 / 173.4 / I had to go into the office today which is an usual start to my week. Work remains a zoo. I didn't go off the rails tonight though. Enjoying a nice night at home with my family.
    11/29 / 171.2 / Crazy day at work, didn't get my walk or my lunch. I got my haircut after work and then had supper out with my husband. Cold here.
    11/30 / 171.8 / Been busy but prioritizing my check-ins here which is always key to my success. I wanted to ride the Peloton after work but I had my 10K steps already and was tired so I decided to relax instead.
    12/1 / 170.8 / Snowy blizzardy day and we forgot something on our commute in that we had to turn back for so we'll be late getting into the office. Christmas potluck at work today.

    12/01 - 161.8 - I'm really shocked by this number. I made crockpot chicken & rice "soup" (it wasn't soupy at all) with homemade artisan bread for dinner since the sickly one slept most of the day. Very carb-heavy and over goal by 100cals so I very much expected to maintain or gain. Once again no morning workout. Didn't quite get in as many movement snacks as previous days, but I'm feeling a little bit of soreness in my muscles so I know I'm at least maintaining muscle. Goal today is get a few more of those snacks. Especially since I've been so sleepy in the mornings (and waking up mid-dream/REM) and that's directly related to my workouts (it doesn't happen as frequently when I get a solid workout in). I have leftover chicken and rice soup, salad making stuff, and sweet potatoes so I'll probably piece together a lunch of that for today (definitely salad, I need the veggies). BF sounds absolutely terrible with his cough. I could hear him up frequently coughing through the night. I've managed to avoid so far, hopefully I can continue that. Still maintaining my herbal teas and supplements to assist in fighting off any potential for it to take hold. Side note: I absolutely LOVE the taste of elderberry syrup. I'm like a child with the vitamins that taste like candy? Wanting to eat the entire bottle in one go? Yeah, I'd love to mix that syrup with some hot water so it's less syrupy and drink it all. So delicious. I'm adult enough to NOT do that, but my inner child DEFINITELY does.

    11/28 - I'm so close to my highest ever weight right now and I'm absolutely NOT okay with that. Granted, some of it is that lovely pre-TOM bloat.... I set up a plan yesterday to be more mindful and careful with my food choices and to try to get "movement snacks" during the days I don't get a workout done in the morning. NerdFitness introduced me to these "snacks". Don't have 30 minutes to get a workout in, but have a 5 minute break between meetings? Walk for 5 minutes. Need a bathroom break? Do some walking lunges to/from the bathroom. Waiting for coffee/tea to brew? Do some pushups or squats or hold a plank. It'll add up through the day to a full workout. I did do a 15 minute yoga gut health practice this morning despite arguing with myself for 20 minutes to get out of bed. I'll sneak in some movement "snacks" today to help get my body back into the groove of things, too. I feel like they won't be as intense or overwhelming on my body/mind as jumping right back into my rowing or full bodyweight workouts. I think today will be the last of the Thanksgiving leftovers, but I managed to portion them into a 500 calorie lunch. I also bought some cucumber, bell pepper, and spinach to make chicken wraps for lunch later this week. Also going to try to ease back into fasting. This is the time of year it benefits me most. Thanksgiving was good, but poor Godson got a fever and they left immediately after eating. Then I woke up with a pink-eye like thing going on (think it was allergies as it cleared up after allergy pill and allergy eye drops, only coming back after waking up. Today is the first day not waking up with a bright pink eye!) so I stayed home and cleaned the house up. Then Saturday FamHub came down with flu symptoms and both their kids have strep. Whew, sickness going around! No plans to leave the house in the next couple days so should be safe unless BigBro brings something home from school or work.
    11/29 - Whew, 1lb lower than highest weight is much better than only 0.4lb lower. Still battling TOM bloat (any day now...) Yesterday went well calorie and food wise. Even got some movement snacks in. All of the Thanksgiving leftovers are gone, too. Now I just need to resist the pizza leftovers (BigBro will eat pizza whenever so we keep it for him, but my taste buds like to think its for me as well). I have a cucumber, a couple bell peppers, couple sweet potatoes and a ton of baby spinach at my disposal for lunches. It's late enough in the morning I probably need to go put the sweet potatoes in the oven if I want them done for lunch.. No workout this morning, hoping to get even more movement snacks in today. I've been quite hungry all morning so I may break my fast a touch early and scramble some eggs, spinach and salsa. A snack portion rather than full meal and push my lunch out a little later. Thinking I'll make a loaded veggie, light chicken wrap with half a roasted sweet potato on the side today. Especially since I'm unsure dinner other than its Taco Tuesday so it'll be Mexican. EDIT: Fam have the flu. Officially. Now BF is feeling extra tired, heavy, and has a mild cough/congestion. He was around Fam Saturday before FamHub started feeling ill. Looks like the remainder of this week I will be on flu avoidance duty!
    11/30 - Staying on track and dropping some of the bloat. TOM is finally relenting a bit. Still have some remnant bloat from that, but it's fading slowly. Proud of myself for not going back for seconds immediately at dinner and allowing my body time to feel satisfied. No workout this morning as I woke up mid-dream and took a lot longer than I'd like to become aware enough to get up. I already did some walking lunges as a movement snack putting my coffee mug in the dishwasher once done. Fortunately I still feel symptom-free from the sickness going around. BF tested negative for flu yesterday but has all the same symptoms as FamHub who tested positive. FamKids both tested negative for flu, but positive for strep. FamWife tested negative for everything. ALL have identical symptoms, though. Focusing on healthy, nutrient-dense foods, immune-boosting teas, and keeping my distance.

    11/25 - dunno
    I didnโ€™t weigh in this morning. I thought Iโ€™d give the TG splurge a day to settle down.

    11/26 - 178.4
    Just as I suspected. But today is a new day, and I want to be down a bit by Christmas, so planning, planningโ€ฆ. My biggest challenge is to stop eating at night. Iโ€™m sure itโ€™s emotional/comfort eating, but itโ€™s ridiculous and I really need to find a way out of this self-destructive behavior. I think part of it is that we eat dinner early โ€” my hubby has always been in the habit of dinner at 5 pโ€clock โ€” so by 9 I have the munchies. Iโ€™ve been thinking for a while of sipping bouillon rather than snarfing popcorn or whatever, but I never discipline myself enough to actually do that. But Iโ€™m pretty disappointed in myself. I mean, really, -2 pounds in a year? Iโ€™m also not getting as much exercise since my pup died, but that will change in January when our new baby comes home. ๐Ÿ˜ Anyway, DH has always done a lot of the cooking here, but his idea of a light dinner is, for instance, what heโ€™s planning for tonightโ€”fettucini alfredo. I think Iโ€™ll steam or roast a mix of veggies or make a bowl of cauliflower rice to replace the pasta and have a Tbsp of alfredo for flavor. That will keep peace but also lower my calories. Sorry to go on and on, but youโ€™re a friendly audience, get it, and can skip if you donโ€™t want a novel! Thanks for the platform!!!

    11/27 - 177.8
    Ok, I did better yesterday in spite of the fettucini alfredo. Itโ€™s soup day, so Iโ€™m going for lots of veggies and flavor.

    11/28 - 177.8
    Why does it go up so much faster than it goes down? ๐Ÿ˜ But ok, as long as Iโ€™m headed the right direction again. I hope to be back <177 by the end of the round.

    11/29 - 177.6
    I had something of a snack attack last night, but overall feel a bit more in control. I know what triggered it last night and Sat. nightโ€ฆpasta. DHโ€™s fettucini alfredo. I really need to eat something else when he wants pasta, because I know it makes me hungry later. Anywayโ€ฆ

    11/30 - 178
    Time lag, because I behaved myself yesterday. Itโ€™s ok. I have a plan. ๐Ÿ˜Š As soon as I finish here, Iโ€™m going to make a pot of vegetable soup with all sorts of non-starchy veggies. Very low calorie, and filling. Iโ€™ll have some for lunch and then freeze the rest in my muffin tin for easy single-serving lunches. I love having bagged soup muffins waiting in the freezer. Itโ€™s a good day for soupโ€”28F outside, wind chill 14, very windy. Iโ€™m skipping my walk! Stay warm out there.

    12/01 - 179
    What? Has to be water, and I do feel sort of bloated, but whoa, this is a surprise. Calories were good yesterday. Well, Iโ€™ll just see was tomorrow brings.

    12/01 - 161.8 - I'm really shocked by this number. I made crockpot chicken & rice "soup" (it wasn't soupy at all) with homemade artisan bread for dinner since the sickly one slept most of the day. Very carb-heavy and over goal by 100cals so I very much expected to maintain or gain. Once again no morning workout. Didn't quite get in as many movement snacks as previous days, but I'm feeling a little bit of soreness in my muscles so I know I'm at least maintaining muscle. Goal today is get a few more of those snacks. Especially since I've been so sleepy in the mornings (and waking up mid-dream/REM) and that's directly related to my workouts (it doesn't happen as frequently when I get a solid workout in). I have leftover chicken and rice soup, salad making stuff, and sweet potatoes so I'll probably piece together a lunch of that for today (definitely salad, I need the veggies). BF sounds absolutely terrible with his cough. I could hear him up frequently coughing through the night. I've managed to avoid so far, hopefully I can continue that. Still maintaining my herbal teas and supplements to assist in fighting off any potential for it to take hold. Side note: I absolutely LOVE the taste of elderberry syrup. I'm like a child with the vitamins that taste like candy? Wanting to eat the entire bottle in one go? Yeah, I'd love to mix that syrup with some hot water so it's less syrupy and drink it all. So delicious. I'm adult enough to NOT do that, but my inner child DEFINITELY does.

    11/28 - I'm so close to my highest ever weight right now and I'm absolutely NOT okay with that. Granted, some of it is that lovely pre-TOM bloat.... I set up a plan yesterday to be more mindful and careful with my food choices and to try to get "movement snacks" during the days I don't get a workout done in the morning. NerdFitness introduced me to these "snacks". Don't have 30 minutes to get a workout in, but have a 5 minute break between meetings? Walk for 5 minutes. Need a bathroom break? Do some walking lunges to/from the bathroom. Waiting for coffee/tea to brew? Do some pushups or squats or hold a plank. It'll add up through the day to a full workout. I did do a 15 minute yoga gut health practice this morning despite arguing with myself for 20 minutes to get out of bed. I'll sneak in some movement "snacks" today to help get my body back into the groove of things, too. I feel like they won't be as intense or overwhelming on my body/mind as jumping right back into my rowing or full bodyweight workouts. I think today will be the last of the Thanksgiving leftovers, but I managed to portion them into a 500 calorie lunch. I also bought some cucumber, bell pepper, and spinach to make chicken wraps for lunch later this week. Also going to try to ease back into fasting. This is the time of year it benefits me most. Thanksgiving was good, but poor Godson got a fever and they left immediately after eating. Then I woke up with a pink-eye like thing going on (think it was allergies as it cleared up after allergy pill and allergy eye drops, only coming back after waking up. Today is the first day not waking up with a bright pink eye!) so I stayed home and cleaned the house up. Then Saturday FamHub came down with flu symptoms and both their kids have strep. Whew, sickness going around! No plans to leave the house in the next couple days so should be safe unless BigBro brings something home from school or work.
    11/29 - Whew, 1lb lower than highest weight is much better than only 0.4lb lower. Still battling TOM bloat (any day now...) Yesterday went well calorie and food wise. Even got some movement snacks in. All of the Thanksgiving leftovers are gone, too. Now I just need to resist the pizza leftovers (BigBro will eat pizza whenever so we keep it for him, but my taste buds like to think its for me as well). I have a cucumber, a couple bell peppers, couple sweet potatoes and a ton of baby spinach at my disposal for lunches. It's late enough in the morning I probably need to go put the sweet potatoes in the oven if I want them done for lunch.. No workout this morning, hoping to get even more movement snacks in today. I've been quite hungry all morning so I may break my fast a touch early and scramble some eggs, spinach and salsa. A snack portion rather than full meal and push my lunch out a little later. Thinking I'll make a loaded veggie, light chicken wrap with half a roasted sweet potato on the side today. Especially since I'm unsure dinner other than its Taco Tuesday so it'll be Mexican. EDIT: Fam have the flu. Officially. Now BF is feeling extra tired, heavy, and has a mild cough/congestion. He was around Fam Saturday before FamHub started feeling ill. Looks like the remainder of this week I will be on flu avoidance duty!
    11/30 - Staying on track and dropping some of the bloat. TOM is finally relenting a bit. Still have some remnant bloat from that, but it's fading slowly. Proud of myself for not going back for seconds immediately at dinner and allowing my body time to feel satisfied. No workout this morning as I woke up mid-dream and took a lot longer than I'd like to become aware enough to get up. I already did some walking lunges as a movement snack putting my coffee mug in the dishwasher once done. Fortunately I still feel symptom-free from the sickness going around. BF tested negative for flu yesterday but has all the same symptoms as FamHub who tested positive. FamKids both tested negative for flu, but positive for strep. FamWife tested negative for everything. ALL have identical symptoms, though. Focusing on healthy, nutrient-dense foods, immune-boosting teas, and keeping my distance.

    @CamandJarvis So funny you should mention the Elderberry syrup. When I was 3 years old, I climbed the shelves of a hallway closet where my mom kept all the medicines on the top shelf in a basket. I got hold of the chewable baby aspirin 81 mg. that I loved and ate the entire bottle and basically O.D.'d on it. They called an ambulance and I was taken to a hospital. I don't remember if they pumped my stomach or induced vomiting, but the matter was solved quickly.

    I have been on 81mg aspirin for my heart now for a couple of years. I have been buying the swallow pills . About 2 months ago I decided to buy the chewables. You have no idea how many times I wanted to take more than one. Somehow, someway at 62 years old, and nearly 60 years later, I am still taunted by those children's chewable aspirins. I managed to make it through the bottle safely but will not ever buy them again. I've already bought the next bottle. The boring swallow ones. My inner child is not as strong as yours lol.

    11/28 -196.6- (Trend weight 197.9)

    11/29 -198.4- (Trend weight 197.9) An expected bloat day. I was under calorie in diet and average in calorie burn/movement. Tomorrow is a travel day to cardiology. I hope to find out more about what the plan is for the Doppler tests I flunked on my legs. I imagine they will want me to see a vascular doctor but we shall see.

    11/30 -196.2- (Trend weight 197.8) Back down to my non-waterlogged weight and the weight prior to Thanksgiving dinner I had Saturday so Iโ€™m pleased. I am traveling today to cardiologist but cancelled tomorrowโ€™s trip due to something important coming in the mail that requires a signature. I started my Christmas decorating yesterday afternoon. Itโ€™s moving right along. Iโ€™ll be working Thursday and Friday to finish it all up.

    12/01 -198.4- (Trend weight 197.8) Iโ€™m back to last bloat weight but this time itโ€™s also after travel so I will take that as a win. Cardiology appt went well yesterday. My neck arteries sounded good, no need to Doppler. My bad leg Doppler test is not good, but not bad enough yet to see a vascular surgeon so that was wonderful news as I was afraid of surgery. Basically, because I blocked in the heart and needed a stent, they worry about other blockages within the body, but they are keeping an eye on it. They are hoping the cholesterol has went down (with new meds) and will be scheduling a re-check on that within next 90 days. That will help stop blockages if we see improvement. Overall, Iโ€™m happy with how it went and I donโ€™t have to go back for 6 months!!! Now, to watch my fats and cholesterol causing foods. Itโ€™s going to be hard to juggle a diabetic diet and a heart diet at the same time. I gotta figure this out.

    12/02 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    It makes me feel so much better knowing I am NOT the only one. It also makes me worry because I know my willpower is not always this strong and the only thing keeping me from taking more than dosage is knowing its expensive, I only have the one bottle, and the sickies in the house are likely still contagious (so I need to have it on hand for awhile longer)

    IN ADDITION: I'm so happy to hear you got good news at the doc! Praying for the lower cholesterol and for better leg doppler very very quickly so you can leave this madness and scariness in the past. For good!
