    Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessary.
    😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
    July focus:
    * maintain weight < 140 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
    * Maintain Daily Solid Habits
    I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.

    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!

    Yes, another round!

    Jen; 46; 5'4"

    About Me:
    This is my fourth round and really appreciated having someplace to stay accountable.
    Thanks to a medication I'm on for my mental health and an overeating habit, I managed to gain a lot of weight in the last year or so. On July 4, I stepped on the scale for the first time since I started the med (that is known to cause weight gain) and decided enough was enough. I buckled down and started actually recording my food for the first time in over five years and started walking every day. Now I need motivation to keep going. So far I've been doing great despite a lot of stress in my life. I had one "cheat" day on my son's 13th birthday because I made homemade pizza and enjoyed three slices of it. I have felt no need to "cheat" since then which makes me very happy. I keep telling myself I'll eat a bag of chips when I get to X weight, but that weight comes, and I feel no need to eat the chips and want to continue eating healthy to lose more weight. Amazing for a carb junkie.

    Previous Rounds:
    RND 229 - SW: 287.8; FW: 280.4 (-7.4)

    RND 231 - SW: 276.0; FW: 267.2 (-8.8)

    Goals:
    * track food every day
    * walk for at least one hour and/or two miles

    Round 232
    heaviest: 294 (7/4/23)
    SW: 267.2
    GW (short term): 250
    RGW: 262

    8/10 - 265.8 - 3.04 miles - I had planned to work in the yard laying more mulch and shoveling rocks, but as I got close to home after my walk, I started feeling really queasy. I'm not sure if it was the heat (it was only in the mid-70s) or something else, but I decided to just go inside and rest instead. This weekend is supposed to be super hot so I'm not sure how much I can get done. The plan is to get to bed early today so I get up early tomorrow and get out for my walk in the early morning so I'm working in the yard before the heat sets in. We'll see how that goes.

    8/11 - 264.8 - 2.37 miles - Worked for an hour in the yard shoveling rocks again and finished laying mulch on that side of the yard (YAY!). Then went on an hour walk when it started getting really hot. Didn't feel very well after that but it passed eventually. Then I spent 2.5 hours making homemade pizzas for the family so today was a cheat day. Last one was July 14 when I made pizza for my son's birthday. It tasted so good. Wish I could have more but I came in under my goal (barely and that's just an estimate). I'll make it up in the next couple of days so it's not a big deal.

    8/12 - 264.2 - 3.29 miles - Went over on my calories today because I just couldn't resist having pizza for breakfast this morning (what is even the point if you don't eat it cold the next morning?). But I'll make it up in the next couple days--it's not the end of the world. I didn't do any yard work either because of the heat. I did go on an extra long walk by exploring some culdesacs along the route that I don't usually go down. We are now under a severe heat advisory or warning (can't remember which). It's supposed to be nearly 100F tomorrow so I doubt I do much and will get out for my walk really early. Same with Monday and Tuesday. Then my grandson is back so not sure what I'll do. Feeling good despite the stumbling with the pizza (I just cannot resist pizza; it's my favorite food).

    8/13 - 268.2 - 3.06 miles - Four pounds! I'm not sure what to think about that. I made sure it was clean under the scale and reweighed myself. It didn't change. I'm not sure how eating 2 slices of pizza, half a sandwich, half a salad and a cup of pasta equals 4 pounds. According to my numbers I was only about 140 calories over my goal (not including exercise). Very strange, but not the end of the world. It just sets me back a few days I guess. I resisted eating any more of the pizza today and even passed on mac & cheese with dinner (had the burger and some fries, though). That gave me the space to have a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich (man, I love those things). I also pretty much finished the mulching of the yard. I have one bag left and have laid 18 of them. I still need to pull up some grass growing where it doesn't belong but it's looking much better. Thankfully, I got it done before the heatwave hit (supposed to be in the 100s all week I think). And with that heat, I need to be in bed early to be up early to do my hour of walking before the heat sets in for the day. So, I'm off to bed now.

    8/14 - 266.4 - 3.01 miles - Got up a little before 7am and was out the door before 7:30 to get my walk in. By the time I got home around 8:45am, it was 74F and the sun was blazing. So glad I skipped coffee and just walked this morning because when we ran to the store at 3pm, it was 108F. I felt like I couldn't even breathe, it was so hot. Now there's apparently a fire across the river outside of Portland and blowing into town so the sky is kind of orange. Hopefully, it's not too bad in the morning. I hope to be out by 7:30 again, but not sure I want to try and push for three miles again with the even that early.

    8/15 - 265.4 - 3.19 miles - Was out the door for my walk right after 7 this morning to avoid the heat again today (it's 100F at 6pm). Had a teledoc appointment at 10:30 to check my meds--am doing much better on this new regiment so sticking with it for three months (see her again on Halloween). And I finally got around to making the zucchini cake my son has been wanting since his birthday a month ago. I ended up just using a boxed carrot cake with added zucchini to it instead of making it from scratch (like I used to). Unfortunately, I did not leave myself enough calories today to enjoy a piece of it, especially with all the cream cheese frosting. I'm debating whether I'll try to fit it in tomorrow by eating less for dinner and scraping most of the frosting off. It smelled so good. I'm just going to have a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich instead.

    8/16 - 262.6 - 3.19 miles - Had to use my miles from yesterday because my app went haywire and my route was all over the place and not where I acutally walked which was the same route (in reverse) as yesterday. I also allowed myself half a piece of zucchini cake this morning but then tonight, I just got the munchies and allowed myself another half-serving of Veggie Straws. Had to force myself to stop there because I really just wanted to mindlessly finish off the bag. First time I've had a bad craving like that in a month and a half.

    65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 231 (my 162nd). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round.
    Goal this round is to get back under and stay under 138. Holiday is now in 31 days, I still need to crack on & lose a few more pounds, starting to get back into some holiday clothes, but can't let up: time is running out! So, 31 days, 3 rounds at a pound per round should easily get me to where I want to be, only I can do it, I’ve done it before so I can do it again if I knuckle down!! Really try to stay on track & do another complete round without binging. After all I am what I eat in more ways than one, my whole demeanour is totally different when I am happy with myself!!
    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 taken me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

    SW Round 232 138.8

    8/10 138.8 - 13.92 miles walked, we went in the opposite direction to Chatsworth Estate, up behind the house, along the ridge & back down through the woods, a third of exercise calories eaten back.
    8/11 139 - had 2 little DGDs yesterday for the day, youngest is getting over chicken pox so restricted where we could take them; picked raspberries then took a picnic up into the Darbyshire Dales, managed a very slow 4 miles in total, ate more than exercise calories.
    8/12 138.8 - moved caravan over to Retford in Notts, a beautiful little site on the banks of a stream and every pitch has a staging over the stream with a picnic table in it. Managed 5.26 mile walk around village, 100 calories over.
    8/13 139.2 – spent the day at Bolsover Castle, it has the oldest indoor riding school still open and in use in the UK; we had tickets to see a manège display on how William Cavendish used to train his horses before he went into battle in the mid 1600’s, so fascinating, we then went on a guided tour of the outside of the castle before wandering around the inside ourselves, just manage to rack up 3.87 miles, but they were not at a good pace, just a bimble! Just read my post from yesterday – spellchecker changed a few of the words, looks like I was drunk when I wrote it!!
    8/14 141.6???? Travelled back home, managed a 5.5 mile walk before we packed up and left, then after unpacking at home we hit the garden; dead heading, weeding and tidying after 10 days away, looks lovely again now, miles racked up to 7.45. Pizza night, hope this jump is due to sodium, 95 calories over.

    8/15 140.6 – 5.97 miles walked in the dry window before I was forced home again by precipitation. 65% exercise calories eaten back.
    8/16 140 – 12.78 miles walked, under 50% of exercise calories eaten back.
    8/17. 139.2 -at least back below 140! 10.13 miles walked, 15% exercise calories eaten back.

    👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!!

    Do any of you utilize the weekly report as a premium subscriber? I log every morsel I put into my mouth every single day… I also record all of my activity… And according to this report, My calories in versus my calories out our almost equal… So please, please please tell me where are the results? I promise to remain patient, but something has to give within the next few days!

    So, based on these numbers, I should’ve easily lost 3 pounds since the beginning of this round… Of course everybody’s different so let’s see what the ⚖️ reports on 8/19. In the meantime, I’m going to keep with the plan, and keep giving my best effort 💪🏻…

    I may have to come to the conclusion/acceptance that my metabolism is super slow and losing 1 pound a week will be my results. I have to be willing to accept that. So I ask myself, would I rather be down 12 pounds in 12 weeks with this effort or with little to no effort and maybe less results or a weight gain? I have to choose to do WHATEVER it takes so… I’ll go with -12lbs in 12 weeks every day!!!

    Unfortunately my metabolism is super slow too, eat at the recommended 2000 calories for a woman and I gain 😪.

    Hello again!
    Female, 39 years old. 5'5" from Greece...Glad to be back!

    Last two years gained approximately 40 pounds (20kgr)..
    Tried drastic measures to get back to track, but to no avail... So I am now taking it one day at a time, with baby steps and learning to set realistic goals! Trying to make it a lifestyle choice, rather than a punishment !!

    HSW: 175 lbs (79.4 kgr)
    CW 170.8 lbs (77.5 kgr)
    GW for the 10 days 168.6 lbs (76.5 kgr).... two pounds per round...
    UGW 125 lbs (57 kgr)

    8/10 170.8 lbs (77.5 kgr). Very happy to see the scale going down even for a small amount... I have managed to stay within my calories (1200) and add some form of exercise!!

    8/11 DNW Travel-Vacation
    8/12 DNW Travel-Vacation
    8/13 DNW Travel-Vacation
    8/14 DNW Travel-Vacation
    8/15 DNW Travel-Vacation

    8/16 172.4 lbs (78.2 kgr) Very very happy to only see 0.7kgr gain! I swam daily, but also I did not overly restrict myself from enjoying everything! Back to work, so back to schedule and daily exercise!

    8/17 171.9 lbs (78kgr) Not bad.. Last night I had 35min treadmill at the 12-3-30 . The "trick" to not get absolutely bored is to put YouTube and say I will run for 8 or 9 or 10 songs of my favorite band... Last night it worked somehow. Then crunches, some yoga, some dancing -mix and match. Overall 90 minutes of movement... Had some sweet snacks (not very healthy) during the day, and that is reflected on the scale... But somehow, even though I am in my heaviest period, I keep a more positive attitude than before.. It is only the beginning and it is a marathon , not a sprint...

    8/18
    8/19

    @Cchassee I applaud your mentality and determination. That was the point that I lost focus in previous occasions. I worked and worked and worked to no avail... Then I got frustrated and it all went down the drain.. What you said -better 12 pounds in 12 weeks, than remaining at the same weight or even gaining is GOALS.. And I found that my body changes, the rhythm in which it responds, is also slower and that is ok.. There is not much I can do for my broken metabolism. I monitor my hormones every 6 months and that's it...

    Consistency is the name of the game…

    Hi again! I'm Amanda, 38F in Virginia.

    SW Round 232 - 129.8
    R232 GW - 128

    8/10 - 129.8. I'm back again. I'm in a weird place where I don't necessarily want to focus on the number on the scale but it's the best way for me to think about what/how much I'm consuming. I've still been running a lot and lifting. My muscles are sore and tired today, TOM arrived this morning, and we went out for Mexican for dinner, so I'm holding on to some water for sure. But I still need to make better choices! Today I have a treadmill run and strength training scheduled. And today will be alcohol-free. I had margaritas at dinner and it messed up my sleep, ugh. Anyway, looking forward to the round and hope to actually see it through this time!

    8/11 - 129.8 again. I ended up running outside and postponing strength training yesterday. I signed up for this run training app for a two month trial and I felt really overloaded this week. It seems like you either do 5 runs a week or 3 runs a week with no in-between. I decided to switch over to 3 a week and then will add something on my own when I want to. I am so excited for this weekend. My friend is getting married at the same venue where my husband and I got married almost 7 years ago! We're spending the weekend in a cabin with them and some of their other friends. There are a bunch of hiking and biking trails, kayaks and canoes for rent, etc. The couple is driving from 4 hours away but it's only an hour away from us (ironically it was across the country from us when we got married there; we were living in Colorado at the time!). I'll be MIA and not weighing for the weekend. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

    8/12 - DNW
    8/13 - DNW

    8/14 - DNW. Back from the cabin/wedding weekend. I snacked a lot but I was fairly active at least. I did a 6-mile trail run yesterday for my weekly long run. It was slow but I felt like I had plenty of endurance for it. My ankle-adjacent stabilizing muscles are sore since I don't usually trail run. I think that's a lot better for me in the long run than road running, though. Joints tend to tolerate softer surfaces for longer. Today I'm doing strength work and focusing my effort on the kitchen. And water. Lots and lots of water.

    8/15 - 130.0

    8/16 - 130.0 Ugh. My weight is not bringing me joy. The kids were home yesterday and we went out for donuts and ate generally unhealthfully all day. I did go for a 50-minute easy run (some walking to keep my heart rate down in the heat). Today I will eat better and drink a lot of water. I have legs and core strength on the docket, but I'm having my house cleaned and I always feel weird going to work out while they're here.

    8/17 - 128.0 okay! My efforts from yesterday showed up on the scale. I started feeling some existential angst yesterday and hopped on the Peloton for 20 minutes for a "Mood: anxiety" ride with an instructor I like and it sort of snapped me out of it. I feel like my husband and I have a grass-is-always-greener perspective on working vs. staying home with our small children. I think some recent changes at my sons' daycare are making me feel like I don't know what they're up to all day. I was a SAHM with my first for a couple of years and I don't think it allowed me the breathing space to be a patient/exceptional mom, and having a job gives me breathing room and a purpose outside the home (though I still think my most important purpose is at home). It also financially enables us to save money and go on fun family vacations without spending every penny we bring home. The flexibility of my job also allows me to do a lot of household chores while the kids are at daycare so I can spend high quality time with them in the evenings and on weekends. However, often, it just feels like work is pointless and I'm missing valuable time with my kids. I started therapy last week and I'm hoping to get myself sorted out and have a better understanding of my own values. Whoops, this went off on a major tangent.

    My run training today is 70 minutes with "MAV Shuttles" toward the beginning. MAV stands for Maximum Aerobic Velocity. They are 20 second sprints with 20 seconds of recovery in between, 8 efforts twice, with a 3-minute recovery in between the 2 sets. Then I have to still jog for another 40ish minutes. Whew. Going to try to do it before it gets too hot.

    Marie, 60 yrs old, 6'0"

    First Round: 232

    MFP SW: 324.4 lbs (joined: 07/24/23)
    CSW: 312.4
    RGW: ???

    8/10: 312.2
    8/11: 312
    8/12: 312.4 (challenge start date)
    8/13: 312.4

    8/14: 314.4 ⬆️ (+2 lbs)
    Main two reasons for the gain:
    1) My legs are really swollen (have poor circulation) in my body, which can cause swelling in my legs.
    2) Bad choice of having pasta for dinner last night. Causes weight gain for me. Mostly I try to always eat low carb. Not just because high carb foods can cause weight gain; but, also they tend to raise my blood sugar. (I'm a type 2 diabetic.).
    Had a weakness for some pasta last night (luckily, that doesn't happen very often) Hopefully, water weight will decrease in a day or two.

    8/15: 312.6 ⬇️ (-1.8 lbs) I'm grateful that most of the water increase has come off really fast and I'm back to heading in the right direction.

    8/16: 312.6 ↔️. (Stalled again) It's ok. I know it'll start going in the right direction soon. 😄

    8/17: 310.4 ⬇️ (-2.2 lbs) I have to keep telling myself that it's more important to eat healthier and to eat in moderation, then it is to satisfy my desire for food. Usually, it's because I get upset and I'm an emotional eater and turn to food for comfort. However, I'm learning that the long term and life changing goal to reach a healthy weight and to be happier and healthier is more important than the temporary desire to satisfy the need/want for food.
    I would like to live out my senior years or the rest of my life in a healthier body and be able to get out there into the world and do things that I can't do today, because of my health and weight issues.

    8/15-DNW-just back from a cruise.
    8/17-166-Back to my pre cruise weight. Have been helping the 83 year old neighbor lady get her park ready for her fundraiser this weekend. We have had to water daily just to keep everything alive. We’ve incorporated a lot of succulents near the flowers. After this weekend I’ll have a couple of hours back in my days.

    8/17. Great workout this morning & added the 12-3–30. I listened to a terrific podcast so I completed with (relative) ease. That was a BIG win this morning! Won’t be too hot today so I’ll finish off my 10k steps this evening. Since I’m avoiding the scale I decided to try on some pants I couldn’t zip up two weeks ago, and I they zipped-up quite easily… So that was an NSV for me and enough to make me grateful for these Herculean efforts the last couple weeks! My new routine is becoming more & more natural and I’m telling myself, “I enjoy it” until I actually FULLY enjoy it!!😂. NGL - That last 8 ounces of water right before night-night is NOT easy!

    @Antara_Kid
    @LisaPower123
    @quiltingjane

    Thank you for your encouragement and wisdom. Trying to focus on NSVs and not the scale. Why is the scale such a trigger? Actually implementing the process and positive steps to improve my health is the end-game. But…. Just a little Chuckle… Am I lying to myself? Who am I kidding?! Clearly, the scale matters?!?!?!!!! For today, I am just going to focus on the fact that my pants zipped up!

    I am determined to win the battle of my mind… My thoughts control my feelings and my feelings control my actions… If I can control my thoughts – then I shall win!!

    Today: Stay focused, control thoughts, earn each of my check-marks and enjoy my day!

    🛑🎢!
    Let’s do this!🙌🏻💪🏻

    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 over 6 years with amazing results!

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

    8/10 129.0 Had 4 oz brisket and did my best to rinse off that sweet sauce but it was still there. I had a no sugar whisky sour at home.
    8/11 128.5 Good day yesterday. Under on all macros except fat - 7 over on that but fat satisfies. Wanted evening snack - had 1T peanut butter - the brand I have is all natural and the oil separates. I scooped out some of the pb and let the oil drip back into the jar.
    8/12 128.0 Leftover pot roast and ate a few chunks of white potato and slices of carrot.
    8/13 129.0 Totally okay with this. We went out to eat at a nearby Mexican restaurant. I had chips and a chimichanga and I ate the whole thing. Today, Great Greek. I’m going to change my order and get chicken instead of beef! 😱😱😱
    8/14 129.0 I think I’m going to try to fast today. I need to get back in that habit. DH has left overs from Mexican and Greek.
    8/15 128.5 Why was I awake at 4AM???? I gave up and got up at 4:25. Sitting here drinking coffee and reading the message board now. 90 degrees at 4AM but going down to 87 before heading back up to 105*.
    8/16 128.0 Community bingo tonight. I think they’re having subs, chips and cookies or ice cream sandwiches. The dinner of champions - NOT!
    8/17 129.5 Bingo was fun but dinner was worse than anticipated- pizza, chips, watermelon and ice cream sandwiches. Oh the carbs!
