Goal 1 for this round: Use the "day completed" button at the end of every day to make sure I log everything.
Goal 2 for this round: start this 4 week treadmill plan (tomorrow) to do something different and get some cardio in: https://blog.myfitnesspal.com/4-week-treadmill-training-plan/
2/11 195.6 well this is a solid start for this round!! I think checking off my journal is helping, also trying to look and log ahead some foods to make sure I stay under my calorie goal. Yesterday I was kicking the soccer ball for our 6 month old puppy and I hyperextended my knee! it hurt! today it's feeling better but I really don't want it to interfere with my steps and gym plan.
2/12 197.6 checked off my journal, stayed under calories
2/13 198.0 checked off my journal, stayed under calories
2/14 198.0 checked off my journal, went over calories a little bit since my neighbor brought some homemade oatmeal choc. chip cookies for valentines and we ate heart shaped pizza for dinner
2/15 198.0 salty salty, checked off my journal and stayed under calories
2/16 198.6 I know I didn't drink enough water yesterday. must remedy that today.

2/16-164-Had pretty healthy Super Bowl food, but ate lots of it for days and finally recovered, just in time for a crab feed this weekend, ugh. I just don’t have good control. It was very cold and windy yesterday, so I got the house cleaned and did some sewing. Yoga this morning and hopefully a horse ride this afternoon.5 -
Another round friends!!! I'm really enjoying checking in with all of you every morning as part of my motivation routine...so far it's working again (I used these 10 day challenges years ago and should have started back much sooner). Hubby and I have a trip to Mexico booked at the end of March, we missed having the big celebrations we wanted for our 25th anniversary and both of our 50th birthdays over the worst of the pandemic so this will be our make up trip. I'd like to get down below 170 before we go...and then hop back on here when we get back to get down to my ultimate target.

Day, Weight, Comment
2/11 - 178.0 - lighter walk yesterday, saved some calories for dinner as both boys were out and I made risotto with lemon trout and green beans for hubby and I for a nice date dinner. The risotto is a bit of a calorie bomb but worth it every now and then. Stuck to one serving of risotto but had more wine than I should have.
2/12 - 178.0 - Sunshine yesterday (today too!!!) meant head to the woods! The trails are a little janky from the thaws and freezes last week but do-able with spikes on my boots.
2/13 - 180.8 - ????!!!! I'm feeling puffy and "backed up" so must be retaining water for some reason, didn't think I overdid sodium or carbs but who knows...bodies are weird. Had another lovely walk/hike/skate in the woods in the sunshine yesterday and missed the super-bowl as I was at the rink, DS(15) had a game, they won, and he played amazing, only let one in the net (he's a goalie).
2/14 - 179.2 - Back in the right direction! The Mackster was a bit stiff yesterday (sometimes I forget how old he'd getting, we've maybe been overdoing the hikes LOL)....so we did a shorter sidewalk adventure. It was grocery day so got some steps in that way. Our house did not have a good sleep last night, so I'll see how energy goes today.
2/15 - 178.4 - Spent yesterday with hubby - took the dog for a lovely 5km walk along the waterfront in the sunshine despite both of us being super tired, the fresh air helped for sure. I made my famous triple chocolate fudge cookies for my guys for Valentines Day...ended up having a couple with an apple for lunch...not the best choice...then Hubby and I popped over to our local and had a couple of IPAs...also not the best choice. Better choices to come today!!!
2/16 - 180.2 - ugh...Tuesday came back to bite me in the butt. Also I didn't get enough water as I forgot to grab my bottle on the way out to pick up DS from wrestling tournament to take him to the Dr...messed up his knee real good. Dinner prep was rushed and not the healthiest when we finally got home. Hoping for a non-eventful day today....

Round 214
02/11 - 178.6
02/12 - DNW - updating now because I'm going to be traveling, leaving around 5am. I don't drink a lot of water when I'm on the road so as not to stop so often. I will be tracking what I eat because I'm taking my own food with me for the day. I'll be at the hospital seeing my MIL, so no exercise, unless you count walking in and out.
02/13 - 180.1
02/14 - 180.0 - All that was in my head this morning when I saw 180 was the Allman Brothers' song "Back to Where it All Begins," which the song lyrics don't even fit, but in my head the lyrics were "Back to Where I Began." The original song (not the one in my head ) is a really good song, the entire album is great actually. Okay, I've digressed - I took food on the road but my downfall was I did not take enough food. By the time we got home, I was emotionally and physically drained and I ate too much of the Chili I made before we left. I'm home for at least the next 4 days, so will work hard at making healthy choices.
02/15 - 177.6 - Okay, better! I had a good day yesterday. I finally drank 80oz of water but need to spread it out through the day and not guzzle it. I rowed. I had 1312 calories. I had lots of vegetables and some fruit.
When I start losing confidence, I look at where many of you started and where you are today, and it is so inspiring, and also everyone's willingness to share their experiences to help others. I'm not a big "participating" social media person, and have only been on a few challenges here, but this is the one that I keep coming back to - thank you everyone and to @quiltingjaine for keeping it going! 💚
02/16 - 176.8 - Another really good day.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

It’s a sunny Saturday here in ne Indiana. All that bright light after a lot of gloom lifts my spirits, especially since I eat more when it’s gray and cold outside. Have a lovely Saturday, all!
2/12 - 178.6
Boom. But no surprise. I’ve had several days way over calories so my calories average is about 400 over goal. I’m eating even when I’m not hungry. Aaagghhhh. I’ve got to get a grip. I know how to lose weight and very consciously sabotage myself. Why? Well, it’s supposed to warm up today, so I’ll try to get my butt in gear for a long-ish walk with Booker. He’s only 3 months old, so not up to miles and miles yet, but he can still get me out for some exercise. Anyone know any good books or articles on the psychology of overeating? My eating is clearly emotional, not physiological. Sigh.
2/13 - 178.2
Thanks for the reading & podcast recommendations! I’ll look into them. I’m feeling more upbeat today — maybe it’s the sunshine. Off now to see our tax guy, and then buy a new collar for Booker—he’s growing fast! I’m planning a nice long sniff walk with him this afternoon, and a nice healthy food day for me—I had one egg cooked with avocado oil spray + 1 slice of Dave’s Good Seed Thin for breakfast, and planning salad and a small apple for lunch, and boiled shrimp and oven roasted sweet potato (a little olive oil and spices) for dinner. If I’m hungry later, I’ll stick to bouillon. I’ll letcha know if I stick to the plan! I’m hoping that posting it will keep me honest.
2/14 - 178.8
I was closer to the track yesterday. Steering that way today. Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️

Chocolates from my sweetie, and Italian for dinner.
2/16 - 179.6
Ah, yeah, there’s the delayed kaboom from Val Day chocolates (I ate way too many), manicotti, and salty dinner yesterday. Oh, well. I’ll try to stifle myself today and tomorrow and…. It’s a gloomy, rainy, windy day here but I’m planning to video some of Booker’s trick training, work on a painting, write, and read. I’m trying to reduce the stack of to-be-read books on my nightstand—DH is afraid they’ll fall over and kill me. 😂 Have a good one, you beautiful, inspiring people!

2/11: 130.1 - Not really sure how I got here. Had a sugar binge last night. I did work out later in the day (just before dinner) so don’t know if that helped at all.
2/12: 131.2 - here is the bump up I was expecting yesterday. Had dinner out at a friends house. Delicious all around. I did get my workout in so hopefully that helped a little bit.
2/13: 131.6 - We did a bit of game day cooking for just the two of us. Got our workouts in though.

SW 215 1/2/2023
CW 193.1
GW 170
I haven't done this challenge in quite a few years, but decided I need to lose this weight before my 60th birthday in
July. Adding this challenge to my routine to help keep the momentum going. There are a few challenges this week with a Super Bowl party and Valentines, so I thought this would give me an extra layer of accountability.
2/11 193.8 I went out last night. Food choices were good but I had 1 skinny marg and 3 vodka sodas
during the night. I plan on walking 6 miles today and no alcohol.
2/12 192.9 Good! Walked 6.5 miles yesterday and intermittent fasted. Superbowl party today, so let'ssee what happens tomorrow. I will walk before I go, not eat until I get there, and stick with
protiens and veggies. 2 vodka soda limit....

2/16 - 161.8 - Well, I did say maintain OR lose so I guess my body listened. I won't lie I was a little nervous to step on the scale. My tummy feels bloated and harder than normal. TMI is a little wonky, too. Hopefully it's just my messed up schedule and now that things are back to normal, it will settle out. BF made it home safe. I ended up waking up to my 6am alarm with juuuuust under 7 hours of sleep according to Fitbit so not bad at all. Glad I didn't try to wake up at 5 and do a double workout, though! Thanks, Past Cam, I appreciate you looking out. Though I'm quite sore today from 3 straight days of workouts, at least they happened and I didn't skip and feel guilty. Today's focus is on really listening to hunger cues and NOT mistaking boredom/stress/emotions for hunger and acting on them as my calorie budget is limited with no exercise and a heavy dinner planned. Also, getting lots of movement so I'm not sitting on my lazy bum all day. I have my reminders to move set up on my Fitbit to get at LEAST 250 steps each hour. Aiming for more. Cold day (after 2 days of feeling more like April/May, windows open airing out the house, t-shirt wearing with no hoodie or jacket, I'm sad BF brought icky, grey, cold weather back with him), but hoping the weather cooperates for a walk with pups tonight. Its windy so hoping that settles juuuust a bit so it's not so miserable.

Previous Day's Comments2/11 - Very slight jump up. It's a combination of things, I'm sure. Despite my probiotics, I'm sure they are not eliminating all dairy bloat. We had homemade pepperoni pizza last night. My first attempt! We all agreed better (and cheaper) than frozen. But whew, cheese. Always gets me. Also, TMI, didn't really happen yesterday, but on the normal schedule today so all good there. Not sure today's plans other than my workout schedule says to do 15-30 minutes minimum of fun movement activity. I'll either walk the dogs or do a yoga practice before bed depending on what ends up happening today. I have pre-logged what I know of for tomorrow (Galentine's Brunch then Superbowl Party). Despite my plans to make a best-effort, I'm using today as as super healthy day to help balance out what I anticipate as a super not healthy day tomorrow. And if it ends up being somewhat healthy, that much better for me! We are leaving at halftime anyway as BF has to be at the airport by 4-430 Monday morning for a business trip. More on those plans later, but I've planned my path that will be the most likely to provide success. Not sure if I'll have time to check in tomorrow, depends on when I wake up vs when I need to leave to get to brunch on time. I'll be back Monday, though!
2/12 - Oh, a huge drop after what I expected was going to be a tick up or two! Guess the bloat being gone and TMI back on track did the trick like I thought? Yesterday was not as super healthy as I'd like. I did have a nice balanced "brunch" which held me over for the most part until dinner (I had 2 little mandarin oranges for a snack and sweet treat). BF wanted chili cheese dogs for dinner so that's what we had, but I went very light on the cheese. I kept it mindful and luckily had JUST ENOUGH calories in my budget leftover. According to Fitbit, I was 34 calories over while MFP said I was exactly at 0! My activity for the day wasn't "fun" but I felt better: deep cleaned the kitchen. BF woke up so I didn't get to clean out the fridge to wipe that down (maybe while BF is gone and I'm alone in the house during the day Monday-Wednesday. A work call listening activity? Beats sitting at a desk listening). Sweeping and mopping didn't happen though the poor robot vacuum tried its best. 2 dogs with fallen dried leaves, dried grass, and mud? Poor floors have been swept and mopped/scrubbed so much this week alone, I'm surprised there's still a floor left! Here's to hoping I can stick to my pre-planned, pre-logged day and NOT having the usual 2 week long Superbowl "hangover" (and I mean food baby hangover, not alcohol. BF and I both have to drive 45 minutes home!)
2/13 - Definitely bloated. Also sleep issues. BF's alarm went off at 3:40 and he was gone by 4. If my body cooperated, I'd have woken up at 6 to do my workout. Unfortunately I didn't doze off again until about 545 and decided to sleep until 7...but the dogs intervened at 615ish. I'm so cranky and groggy and just bleh. I have a headache like no other (luckily no migraine). I put on workout clothes to remind me I have to do my workout today, either at lunch or after work before a puppy walk. I'm pushing water (though I drank quite a bit of water yesterday, I definitely need more) and I'm going to try to fast until lunch (should be easier with no early morning workout) and pre-plan/log a balanced lunch to immediately start off-setting the Galentine's Day and Superbowl weight gain. I'm simply glad all that's now over. Also, since I'm in charge of dinner, I know what we're having and I can log it first thing. Nice thing about being in charge of dinner!
2/14 - Sweet, Superbowl bloat is mostly banished! I have had an awful morning. I was so so so exhausted when my alarm went off and now I'm battling the beginnings of a migraine from oversleeping. How can I be so tired I literally fall back asleep AS I'm attempting to turn off my alarm and yet feel sick like I always do after I oversleep? Needless to say, no workout. Yet. BF still gone so I can do it without disrupting him during the day. Since BF comes home late Wednesday night (late as in I'm already asleep and I'll be woken up), I'm thinking instead of my super hard workout (bodyweight AND cardio) Thursday morning, I'm going to do that today and just do the cardio sprints Thursday morning. Or maybe cardio sprints tomorrow and use Thursday as the rest day? Definitely doing the hard workout today, though. For today, I need to log and see if it fits, but I have dinner planned and leftovers for lunch.
2/15 - Now, hopefully, to maintain or lose more to stay on track for this round's goal (or surpass the goal which would be amazing but not getting hopes up too much..end of round IS a Monday, my worst weigh in day). My dog, Harley (adult) decided to take a page from the pup's (Smoke) book and eat acorns. So we were up half the night as I monitored her and her retching, puking, etc. She's fine now, it seems, but I'm, once again, lacking sleep. The sleep I did get was super restful as I've been plain exhausted. I've already gotten my meals planned for today and came in just under (50 or so) calories before any exercise calories factored in (or breakfast which I'm hoping to fast through anyway). I just finished my cardio sprints to make tomorrow a rest day. BF will be home sometime tonight after my bedtime. Today I'll input Thursday's planned dinner and figure out what I can munch on for lunch Thursday since it'll be a little more challenging with no workout calories providing a buffer.

Hi, I'm Charissa, ready to go for Round 214/5.
I love these 10 days at a time rounds! Very doable. Better than a week as you tend to follow the same up and downs per week and it doesn't always show your progress. Also being able to refocus after 10 days is great! And boy do I need to refocus this round
Had a tough round 213 with lots of celebrations and dinners out. This round starts with a birthday party, yet another dinner and then Superbowl. Monday - no reason to not be back on track!

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 over 5 years with amazing results!

2/14 ❤️128.0 ❤️Happy Valentine’s Day❤️I started a fast a 1:30 yesterday afternoon, after I ate my Great Greek leftovers. Not sure how long I’ll go. Black coffee and water only. I have to say I am feeling quite proud of myself for making brownies last night and not even licking the rubber scraper. DH was taking them to the PT people this morning. My supplements are not sitting well on my empty stomach.
2/15 126.0. Made it through 2 periods of growling stomach with only water, coffee, and a can of Coke Zero.
2/16 125.0 My fast was over 48 hours followed by OMAD. I’m planning to fast today until late morning, at least 18 hours.5 -

It's my first time with this challenge, but I like the shorter duration; it seems mentally easier to keep track of. I gained 8 pounds over the holiday season (ended up about 103.5 lbs), but I'm trying to take daily walks and do a quick workout every day. I've been able to keep my self-control much better over the past week, so I'm happy with that start.

2/9 157.0 (trend 158.1)
2/10 156.8 (trend 158.0)
2/11 154.4 (trend 157.5) That's quite a whoosh! I felt very different yesterday, loads of energy, I couldn't sit still, and I was in a really positive mood. Hopefully this is a taste of things to come and not a blip.
2/12 157.2 (trend 157.4) Oh for goodness sake. I guess I was just really dehydrated yesterday then. Trying desperately to not feel too disheartened. 5 miles walked.
2/13 157.0 (trend 157.4) Well I reacted to my disappointment and frustration yesterday by having a carb binge. Only 150 cals over but most of what I ate consisted of cereal bars, biscuits and breadsticks. Zero exercise, just a trip to the dump to get rid of garden waste. Feeling predictably bloated today.
2/14 157.0 (trend 157.3) 1 hour at the gym doing cardio, rest of the day working on a job application form. I have booked an appointment for Wednesday to get my blood tested for thyroid levels. Calories slightly below as I had no appetite.
2/15 155.2 (trend 157.0) Yay! Very glad to see this drop, and I know it's not down to dehydration this time as I drank at least 4 litres of water yesterday. I changed my usual breakfast from a banana and 100g yoghurt to 2 soft boiled eggs with 125g asparagus tips, I don't know if that made any difference to my digestion.
1 hr cardio at the gym. I really wanted to use the weights machines, but as it's school half term here, there were groups of teenagers everywhere
and it was getting a bit crowded.
I'm aware I need to work on cutting down my salt intake, which is going to be a challenge as I rely on it to add flavour to bland food and it helps me cut down on fat/carbs. I also need to see how I can add more protein to my diet without increasing calories or losing fibre. I'm averaging 37g of protein a day, which is 15g short of the recommended amount. I have a blood test today to check my thyroid levels, hoping this will shed some light on things.
Oh, and I applied for a part time job yesterday, after being out of formal work for over 4 years, eeek!
2/16 155.4 (trend 156.8) Happy to have stayed relatively stable for 2 days, phew! Tried out some of the resistance machines at the gym, it was fun except for the creepy bloke who kept moving to machines facing mine and staring at me while he worked out. I scowled at him so he moved away and went to stand right behind a young woman while she lifted weights, very off-putting and uncomfortable for her.
I woke up really hungry at 6am, I don't usually eat until 11am but will have to have something soon as my growling stomach is deafening!

Hi all! Starting back with these challenges. I’m a Mom of 2, in my 40s, and just diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Trying to make some healthy changes.

2/11 – 209.6 – It’s a Saturday and the weather is nice, so I headed out work a nice long walk!
2/12 – 210.2 – My weight continues to bounce up and down. It gets somewhat discouraging, but thankfully my “trend weight” continues to move downward. I have to remember that my roller coaster ride is a marathon – a slow journey. I’ll get there. Another walk outside today – tomorrow the forecast is snow.
2/13 – 210.3 – Given that we had a Superbowl spread out last night and I nibbled on it a bit – this doesn’t seem bad. I avoided all the higher sodium items and tried to stay within calories. One trick is to serve items I don’t really care for – like chicken wings, so it’s easy to stay away from them.
2/14 – 209.9 – Happy Valentine’s Y’all! I hope you have a wonderful day. My Valentine’s gift to myself today is yoga.
2/15 – 209.0 – Here’s the little whoosh downward I was waiting for. Yay!
2/16 – 208.4 – The whoosh continues. If my usual trend continues, I’ll bounce back up a little and hover there for awhile until another whoosh down. Also, TOM is imminent, so that may have something to with it.

1. Sometimes I see an uptick the next day, sometimes 2 days later for food. Sometimes it only lasts a day, sometimes it lasts a couple days. Check in and see if you find a pattern over time?
2. I know, personally, about 3-4 days before TOM (time of month or some say TOTM, time of the month), I experience bloating and the scale either gets stuck and more often than not, goes up. I've seen as much as 7 pounds up for really bad months for me! One it starts, though, I start dropping back down again and feeling normal. Once again, see if you kind find patterns over time with your own body. I had no idea it could cause such a big fluctuation with me and now I don't get upset when I see a huge jump on the scale and I know it's about that time.
I wish you the best of luck getting that under 100 mark!4 -

My goals for this round will be the same as the last round: to not eat my children's leftovers and to eat smaller portions for dinner. I am also very sedentary so I will aim to get my heart rate above 100 bps for at least 22 minutes each day.
2/11: 167.6 lbs
Achieved my goals for the day.
2/12: 168.7 lbs
Injured my hip so I don't think I will be able to achieve my goal this round of getting my heart rate above 100 for at least 22 minutes per day. Otherwise I achieved my other goals for the day.
2/13: 169.3 lbs
Had too many papadums at dinner. No exercise either because of my sore hip. I think realistically, because of the big drop last round, I might end up 2 or so pounds with this round. I need to mentally prepare for this so I don't give up. Time to look at my inspiration slide show (which is just a collection of photos and quotes) to help keep me on track.
2/14: 168.7 lbs
Still haven't exercised. Ate within calorie budget though.
2/15: 168.2 lbs
Achieved goals except for exercise. Hip still sore. I hope I can still lose weight while not exercising. We shall see.
2/16: 168.7 lbs
Went for a very short walk to test my hip. The muscles cramped around my hip. After a rest though, my hip is not hurting. I might try and do a short session on the elliptical today and see how that goes.
