10/2 218.2 ~ I started using a different scale (renpho) which normally has me a half to a full pound higher than my previous scale (withings). I don't really care which one is correct as long as I am consisted. I could weigh 3 times within 5 minutes on the withings scale and get a different amount where as I tend to get the same reading on the renpho. Additionally the renpho gives me more measurements.

10/01 -187.2- (Trend weight 189.2) Yesterday everything was on point—diet, exercise, water, Potty. I wish everyday fell in line like that but that is not typical of my normal day. I had no handymen, no babysitting, no kids stop buy (with treats), no invitations from friends to go have lunch or dinner, it was a care-free day of self focus. Yesterday was one of the lower calorie/carb days on the zig-zagging I am doing so I’m not surprised to see the scale a bit more down because of that. It certainly likes to tip up a bit on the scheduled higher days so fair enough!
10/02 -187.0- (Trend weight 189.0) I feel like a rabbit with the carrot dangling over me. Come on 186 point anything!

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

SW RND 237 128.0
9/29 128.0 Breakfast out was cancelled and we will be taking friend to Great Greek today. We finally ate around 3 yesterday afternoon at Jimmy John’s-I love the #9 Unwich! no chips but even ate a yucky WM oatmeal cookie and am under my carb limit of 25g TC
9/30 128.0 Last night a group of people in the neighborhood presented a play. It was entertaining and we also celebrated the 12th anniversary of the Social and Dance Club. Everyone was given a “lunch” bag with a tuna slider, chips, and after the play a small piece of cake. I was strong and ate none of it! YAY ME!
10/1 128.0 Woke up before 4:30 with a headache, tried to get comfortable and go back to sleep but it didn’t work. Finally got up and took my Fosamax and went to sleep in my recliner. Woke a little after 6. Still had h/a so took some headache relief. I’m good now. 😁
10/2 128.5 I realized at 6 last night that I hadn’t been drinking enough water. Had only had one quart instead of my usual 4. Fixing that today!7 -
Glad to be back. Thanks @quiltingjaine for keeping this going.
Long post that I'll hide with a spoiler tomorrow:
I've fallen off the WFPB wagon and need to get back on. Just logging on here again reminds me of all the healthy habits I was able to build with y'all. That feels good, that there's an association with being in this challenge and living my healthiest lifestyle. My weight has been stuck between 130 and 135 for the past few months. I have significantly increased my strength, though, so my body composition is much better than it used to be. But, I want to cut the soft fat and that won't happen if I don't stop late-night snacking/binging on ice cream. I need to get my mindset back to where I had a number of reasons to avoid it, 1) hormone health, 2) I'm lactose intolerant and pretend like I'm not, 3) the dark side of the dairy industry breaks my heart. I'm sure that if I can quit it again my inflammation will go down and I'll look and feel better. Here's hoping I can be strong.
39, 5'4"
Goals: lose fat, walk 4 miles a day, strength train 5-30 minutes a day. Simple goal for this round is to avoid ice cream.

10/1 135.0
10/2 134.8 the past week I was carb loading for a hiking trip that DH and I enjoyed this weekend. I felt so strong. NSVs: my pack weighed 20 pounds and since I have been slowly increasing my pack weight on practice walks the weight didn't feel too heavy; while climbing a steep incline, I kept being surprised at how good my own legs looked in my shorts, like, "are those MY legs!? Can they really be mine? They're so strong!" Nice thing to focus on instead of how hard it was. Anyway, I expect that by cutting back on carbs back to my usual intake of 150-200 grams per day I'll drop some water weight back to 130 or so. But I like that my maximum carb heavy weight is 135, that's certainly an accomplishment for me. No more dairy will also cause weight loss because ice cream is my only source since I didn't return to the habit of cheese or pizza. I'm not fully vegan anymore but I still view meat as a luxury, i.e., a complement to a dish that is primarily made up of whole grains, vegetables, and legumes, a la Mediterranean Diet. That's probably the #1 best habit I've kept since first joining the 10-dayers. Inspired to see everyone's journeys are still going.

10/02 DNW but moderate and sustainable diet exercise all weekend. I have to step away from the scale but that doesn't mean I can't record my progress. My NSV is that I went clothes shopping this weekend and wasn't triggered by clothing sizes at all. I got 4 sizes not knowing where I'd fit and I picked the one that fit me best! It may sound silly but I used to always get something too small for me, then feel bad about myself because it didn't fit... I still have my goal pants but no need to be uncomfortable in my own clothes as I work towards that goal. @SModa61 thanks for the pictures with the cow. You unlocked a wonderful memory I had of a festival called the Highland Games I went to as a child. They had a petting zoo with those fluffy cows and all the men were in kilts competing in the games of throwing giant logs and rocks.

9/29: 157.6 lbs
I am surprised I am the same weight I was at the end of round 230 when I was last involved with these challenges. Between then and now I have had my gallbladder removed after having a number of gallstone attacks. I had to be super restrictive before the operation to prevent an attack. But since the operation it has been a free for all and I need to turn it around. I am hoping that doing this challenge will get me back on track.
9/30: 158.3 lbs
Twas pizza night with guests who bought treats and I didn't care what I ate. It doesn't bode well for maintenance. I wish I knew how to flip that switch in my brain to weight loss mode.
10/1: 158.3 lbs
I am still not in weight loss mode. I think the problem is that I am not all that unhappy with the weight I am at the moment. I would like to get in to a healthy weight range but i don't seem to want it enough to do anything about it. The relief from the gall stone attacks after the op isn't helping either because I can basically eat whatever I want again and I think I am rebelling after having to restrict to try to not get an attack.
10/2: 157.4 lbs
Lots of walking yesterday and I had a big, salty meal dining out. This drop is probably dehydration.

🍁🍂This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE
I’m a 5’2”, soon to be eligible for Medicare girl from the Pacific Northwest. Took a “break” from weighing and logging over the last few months… always a mistake! Gained back 6 or 7 pounds. Time to get back on track, one jug of water at a time!

Daily Details:Fri.29.09:
After my revelation yesterday about certain foods, I ate all of the foods. 🙃 High carb, high sugar, over my calories, and no workout. No excuses, it happened. Today’s a new day to make better choices.
Sat.30.09:
Yesterday was messy (SD is here, has disordered eating tendencies. I'll be eating what they eat for a few days in order to not give her any reason to feel anything negative towards what she's having). That meant a pancake for breakfast, and fast food lunch.
However, my partner did finally mention that I look like I've lost weight. I haven't discussed it with him much, other than after my visits to the dietitian. So he didn't know how much I've lost or anything. I kinda was interested to see how long it would take him to see a difference, considering he's constantly with me. So that felt good.
Going out to riding today and to dinner tonight but I've had a look at the menu and have a plan to fit it in with the rest of the day so I'm not as far over as the past two days, especially with the calories burned riding. I know today's gain is primarily bloating from the fast food yesterday (I never have that much salt), so hopefully I should bounce back easily but with everything considered it may take the scale a few days to reflect it.

Back for another round.

About Me:This is my ninth 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. I'm a mom of five and grandma of one 4yo that I babysit during the week when my daughter is working.

RGW: 240
9/29 - 242.0 - 2.45 miles (walk) - 3.8 miles (bike) - I'm worn out and sore. Had to babysit my grandson which meant putting off my walk until my husband got home around 12:30pm. So I decided to clean out the fridge which I had not fully done in years (thanks chronic fatigue). It took way longer than I anticipated. When I finished it was 1pm which is when I have lunch. So I ate and charged my phone then went to the HOA clubhouse to use the gym at around 3pm. Did 15 minutes on the bike and 30 minutes on the treadmill then walked home (very slowly). I didn't even bother changing because it was way past time to start dinner (salmon and a bunch of starchy sides). Finally sat down to eat at like 6. Then my husband insisted I take a bath and relax. Got done around 7:45 and went to get a treat for dessert only to find no one put the food away so I did that and cleaned the kitchen for 20 minutes. Sigh. But I was happy to see the scale back down to 242 this morning after it went up again yesterday. Here's hoping that's a good sign.
9/30 - 241.6 - 3.07 miles - Set out to go to the clubhouse today and realized it was actually beautiful out. The clouds had parted and there was sunny, blue sky, but it was only in the mid-50s. Beautiful walking weather so I just did my normal route around the neighborhood because there won't be many more days like this before it starts raining nonstop. I did good with my eating today. Had leftover pork chops and gravy for lunch and leftover salmon for dinner. I did have a small snack of veggie straws in the afternoon (only ate 12 of them which is about 1/3 of a serving). And I had a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich for dessert. After inputting it all in, I had the exact same calories as yesterday. Weird.
10/1 - 241.0 - 4.16 miles - Decided to walk to the grocery store because it was so nice out. Got a few things to make stroganoff for dinner then came back and immediately cooked, ate (and it turned out so good), and then cleaned up the kitchen. Was on my feet from 3 to like 6:30 and was really feeling it. Looks like the rain will be back tomorrow so back to the gym probably.
10/2 - 240.8 - 3.07 miles - I managed to get out for my walk before the rain started today so I did my circuit of the neighborhood. I've been wearing my New Balance shoes because my new Sketchers rub on my heel and have caused a callous and my old Skethers are worn nearly all the way through and have at least one hole in the soul so if I were to step in a puddle the memory foam inside would just absorb it all (I know from experience with a previous pair). The New Balance ones aren't as bad as they were now that I've lost more weight and don't bother me much when I'm using the treadmill, but walking 3 miles in them in less-than-flat terrain has sucked. My feet are sore and my sciatica is acting up really bad tonight. Ugh. But I was down again today. Yeah, it was only .2lbs but it was down! It's progress.

Sept 29 – Oct 8, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126
SW: 126.4
Day/Weight/Comment
9/29 - (Glasgow) 126.6 again, lots of food opportunities, but keeping breakfast small, and at dinner I ordered two appetizers instead of an entree, and only ate part of the dessert (so far no dessert has wowed me). Up at 5:45 am for another tour day. That is 11:45 to me body, and have not slept well for two days (had slept GREAT the first). Not sure the reason Hope everyone is doing grand.
9/30 - (Inverness) 127.0 more, lots of food. I was selected to “present the Haggis” behind the bagpiper. Haggis is actually quite tasty. My father told me as such, but he also like pickled pigs feet. These pre-set (as in three course) meals are killing me. I am trying to not finish everything served. Today’s lunch was an English Tea, then we did a history walk to a pub. Now I am home briefly before going out to dinner. Sorry I am note reading other posts, but I am proud of myself that so far I have weighed each morning and posted each day.
10/1 - (Inverness) 127.0 Heading down to Edinburgh today. Did double apps as my two courses last night. I totally confused the staff by ordering an app when an entree is covered in the cost.
10/2 - (Edinburgh) 128.0 yup, I could feel the uptick. Today I have more control on food…. I think.
10/3 - (Edinburgh) 127.4 ate semi reasonably compared to previous days, but had the most fabulous ice cream yesterday Whisky tablet ice cream at Buns and Scoop in Edinburgh. Seeing St. Andrews today.

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 236 (my 166th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, so grateful.
Back from holiday a week now, feeling strong and eager to lose, want to get back under 140 this round.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 RND 237 142
9/29 142 – no structured walking as childminding little DGS.
9/30 141.4 – very busy day around errands, managed to walk 5.56 miles, calories 111 over.
10/1 142.6 – 15.61 miles walked yesterday, 3.5 miles of which were ‘dancing’ miles; we were at a 70th birthday & danced nearly all night. I had adjusted the time of our lunch eating latter to pre-empt the buffet. Didn’t overindulge & only had one plate (no seconds) also licked loads od decorating salad from the serving plates– 42 calories over, it was eaten later so hoping that and the additional sodium is the cause for the upness. 1.59 ‘dancing’ miles after midnight in ‘credit’ for today!
10/2 141.8 – 7.75 miles walked, 60% exercise calories eaten back.
10/3 141.8 – 8.22 miles walked, 20% exercise calories eaten back.

Date/weight/comment
09/29 - 155.6 - Wow, the only thing I can think is I did a lot of moving of furniture, etc. on Tuesday and Wednesday evening. I woke up really sore this morning. I did not eat a lot of salt over the past few days and my calories have stayed between 1100 and 1400 calories for the past 2 weeks. I'll be drinking plenty of water today.
09/30 - 154.1 - This is better, but I'm still not real happy. I'll be tracking everything again this weekend.
10/01 - 153.4 - OK, well I did not eat great last night. My stepdaughter and her husband brought over gourmet grilled cheese, tomato soup, and cookies. I didn't go overboard, but I will probably see a bounce in the next day or two.
10/02 - 153.8 - There is the little bounce. I hope this is it. Water, water, water.
10/03 - 153.6 - I just need to keep my steps, food, and water in focus.

SW RND 237 — 135.4
9/29 ⚖️ 135.4
Yesterday was a do-nothing day. Went to a “pool party” visiting with two wonderful friends from work (I retired 1/2019). They are now retired too. Wonderful day! Laid around the pool and visited… I ate very healthy. Water, Egg salad and no dessert. But also, no walking or exercise yesterday - just dead weight. Played bridge-ate 1 sugar cookie and one glass of white wine. Not worth the indulgence. I just did a “quick entry” in MFP +cookie +wine because it was the easiest way…. Today is a new day and a new round! 😎
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻

9/30 Yesterday was another do-nothing day re: NO Exercise. I had this urge to get organized. Worked all day in my house/couldn’t stop. Picked up GS from school and we chatted over sugar-free snowballs. Day was over then. Perfect macros, 1237 calories, 5.2k steps, but no movement/workouts yesterday. But…. Tennis and walking today!
It's hard to build new habits. It's hard to create and maintain a healthy diet. It's hard to stay focused & push through days/weeks. It’s hard to stay motivated. And that's if you're “feeling” 100%. If you're not mentally / emotionally feeling well, it's almost impossible.
I don’t know why I chose not to exercise yesterday or not to get my steps in…. I had the time, but I didn’t do it. Not gonna brood about it. But I definitely needed to FEEL organized. I do now and so… will “move” today.
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
🛑🎢!
———————————
10/1 So yesterday I played tennis then walked 5 miles in the afternoon …. 16.8 K steps (7+ miles), 685 move calories, 183 move minutes and ✅ macros. TIRED! 1063 cal by 7:20pm so I had to find another healthy 200 cal somewhere… added a butter bite. 1263! Today, I probably won’t hit my steps/move because we have to travel half the day to take care of a project… But, I think I accomplished enough 9/30 for two days but then again, I did nothing two days previous… 😎
I was very tempted to go with my DH after dinner last night for ice cream from our favorite local shop… I deliberated for 10 min and finally said no - but it was only because I was too tired. Shame on me! Had nothing to do with self-control. 🤣😎 Well, maybe a little! Cause I really think I would’ve indulged if I wasn’t so tired.
One more day and it is scale time again! Let’s go!
NSV: I’m feeling healthy, strong… and positive. Staying “even” sits well. Just putting 1 foot in front of the other and getting it done… staying the course.
Be kind to yourself and most of all keep pushing on. Today I will be grateful ! 🥰
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻

———————————
10/2 ⚖️ 135.4 Slow moving train.
Managed to get 9.5k steps. 1877 cal. Lots of protein. Burned only 387 exercise cal. 51 ex minutes. Couldn’t get in any groove once we got home from travel. I know I didn’t drink enough water yesterday…. Will increase today.
Emotions in check. NGL the ⚖️ was disappointing…. So will believe in the process and stay positive…. With my intake,macros,and movement, it will get better! Planning an active and grateful day today. Tennis, walking, 🏋️♀️🍀
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
🛑🎢!
———————————
10/3 12.4k steps, 2 1/2 hrs tennis, 1421 cal, burned 1121 exercise calories. I went over calories yesterday because I ate extra protein… Hungry from the days activities… Macros✅
Playing tennis this morning then starting to pack/get organized for our trip. I’m maintaining a very positive can-do attitude. The weather is supposed to be 50 to 70° the entire five days without a cloud in the sky… Feeling blessed beyond measure.
NSV - while the scale has not cooperated, I feel like I’ve lost a full size in my clothes… Feeling “clean”. I must keep reminding myself that feeling “clean”, is much more satisfying than feeling “full”! Feeling disciplined, also feels much better than feeling doubtful / scattered. Feeling disciplined, provides a mental “confidence” that I am starting to recognize. The battle is won in your mind!
Tremendously enjoying everyone’s posts… Learning so much from all of you… Thank you!
Y’all have a great day!
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
