Day/Weight/Comment
10/18 …..185.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
10/19 -185.6- (Trend weight 186.2)
10/20 -185.0- (Trend weight 186.2)
10/21 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW)
10/22 -185.6- (Trend weight 186.2) The scale reading was worse than I hoped but better than I thought so I’ll take it as a scratch. I plan on traveling tomorrow for some shopping for my DD’s upcoming birthday and some much needed grocery supplies that fit within my plan. I expect some damage after tomorrow and may hold off the weighing again. The cravings have been horrible, mainly at night. I've got to plan better for them even though it feels like I'm already doing that. ANY tidbit of sugar seems to be a trigger for me. Learning and growing..... Today I will make it a good day. One day at a time in 10 day blocks, right?
10/23 -184.4- (Trend weight 186.1) Travel today about 125 miles each way to get to the nearest Mall. Shopping for daughter’s upcoming birthday. She’s petite length and needs pants, hopefully I can find them. Feel good about the scale today. It’s a nice buffer for the meals we’ll have in the city. Tomorrow will be damage control I’m sure. I’ll try to keep a level head, keep my wits about me when I choose my foods today but no promises. My son chooses the restaurants.
10/24 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)
10/25 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)
10/26 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)
10/27 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

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

(Su•90g Prot; 64ozs water) Had to buy a new refrigerator. Stressful in itself finding one to fit the alotted space. Threw some foods away that were buried in the freezer, but also having to eat some of the refrigerated foods so it's not a total waste. Consuming WAY too many calories. Just a little set back.

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.
We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

10/22 127.5 Studio Strut week 2. It was a good day but Oskar is not really eating.

I didn’t expect this as I was out of town and not using my home scale. Frankly now that I hit that number I don’t really care. I just want to be a healthy and strong bada$$ 70 year old woman to inspire my kids.
10/20 128.6# ST ✅ nutrition plan✅ no ETOH✅ need to up H2O
10/21 129.4# I indulged in pasta and a lovely white wine last evening. Back to plan today. Heading out for a walk now that the rain ended. Have a great week everyone.
10/22 128.8# Yesterday was cardio day so I took a great hike among the glorious New England trees. Afternoon was football and rest which I needed. ST done for today.

10/23 - DNW - Crazy busy weekend and I was up late last night. I was rushed to get to my desk to work as I slept through my alarm this morning and didn't have chance to weigh. Also, there was a small gap in the rain to get the dogs out for their morning potty and I wanted to ensure they didn't have to get soaked first thing. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I'm making a ginger turmeric chicken and rice soup and roasting a couple sweet potatoes for lunches this week once my call ends. Dinner is a heavier, but still decent, nutrition-wise, salisbury steak with green beans and mashed potatoes so I'm hoping the scale isn't showing a terrible uptick from a not-great weekend. No running this week due to rain forecasted every day so I'll be supplementing with the rower or stationary bike and some bodyweight or kettlebell strength workouts. Will need to find ways to increase steps and calorie burn. Plenty of catching up to try to sneak in at some point in the coming days.

Previous Day's Comments10/19 - Not bad. I did have extra calories and enjoyed a (weighed) bowl of tiramisu gelato after dinner. I also took my lactose pills which is why I'm not up more than the 0.1lb. Today was a chilly walk with dogs, a lot of work getting done, and then Thirsty Thursday later with dinner out. I have leftover peppersteak to eat on for lunch and hopefully that will hold me over until dinner. Not much else to post other than it's a busy "Friday" (off tomorrow for 9/80) with a lot of deadlines tomorrow (AKA today).
10/20 - Plans went haywire, work went crazy. BF went to Thirsty Thursday but came home for dinner since I got bombarded with back-to-back work calls from 1-4:30 in the afternoon. Managed to get everything done and finish my work to meet deadline (today, but I'm off) and then threw together a dinner from what we had available in the house. Good news, everyone loved the dinner despite it being last minute (and I was missing a couple ingredients I improvised on). Then BF wanted a sweet treat so I introduced him to mug brownies (he's not a cake guy so I found a recipe for a brownie instead.) Naturally, I had to try it and I was still recovering from the stress of work. It'll catch up to me tomorrow, I'm sure. I did an easy 25 minute run up the big hill this morning. High school football game tonight (Goddaughter is cheering at it as the final event for cheer camp - to cheer with the high school girls at the game). Think we're going to a friend's for tacos/fajitas before the game but not 100% sure. No clue on lunch but will improvise, as usual. I have some frozen broccoli steamables I can make something up with.

Previous Goals per RoundRound 236, resumed my mandatory treadmill M-F 30 minute minimum!!
Round 237, increased from 30 minutes to 40 minutes minimum!
Round 238, returning to IF and adding healthy habits from Apple Watch promptings. 1 out of 2, IF left me very hungry this round so eating something small when I get hungry, then eating a reasonable lunch (under 300 cal) and saving the rest for dinner. I guess still IF, just shorter windows (about 14 hours). Closing more difficult rings on my watch = success!
Round 239, Continue all of the above! Increase Water
Goals This Round per Day:
- Tracking to the best of my ability 🍎and staying under calorie budget (just say NO!)
- Water (Goal 64 oz/SS and 96oz M-F) : ✅
- Closing my rings (which I've made a bit more difficult): 🚶🏽

10/19 215.8 (+1.2/+1.2) ~ So yesterday's weight was kind of a fluke....but it made me end the round on a low point, which sets the bar for this round so I guess it's all good (motivation, maybe). Yesterday was a salty day so I'm thinking water retention. Lots of water today!

🎃🕷️🍁🦇10 day challenge 🦇🍁🕷️🎃
I’m a 5’2”, soon to be eligible for Medicare girl from the Pacific Northwest. My birthday is mid November and I would like to be in the 135-138 range as a gift to myself. Round 237 was a good start to moving the number on my scale in the right direction… now to keep the motivation in high gear! So far my strategy includes lots of water 💧 and less wine, increasing my daily steps 👣, at least 3 times a week strength training 🏋️♀️ and no 🚫 munching after 8 p.m. Let’s do this!

Good morning! Is there a special “join” button somewhere? I am not new but need a bit of accountability before Christmas. In my 40s I joined MFP and lost over 30 lbs. I was creeping back up to 156 over the last ( post M) couple of years. Am now 57. Lost 5=lbs in Sept but have hit the inevitable plateau. Just need my bras to fit again 🥰

About me:I could not lose weight until I shifted my mindset from "trying to lose weight" by calorie counting to "trying to decrease chronic inflammation" by eating the right foods + calorie counting.
I can maintain my good health by continuing these healthy habits:
1) noticing how my clothes are fitting and getting back to the scale and consciously recalibrating my daily diet when necessary.
2) eating primarily WFPB (Whole Foods, Plant-Based) daily to keep my daily fiber intake around 40 grams. Keep noticing where I can easily make a meal only plant-based and try to have at least one vegan meal per day and at least one fully vegan day per week (this keeps me from getting lazy with vegetables and recipes).
3) limit ultra-processed foods to almost never avoid added sugar unless it's truly a special occasion and a truly delicious dessert. Road trips are a great time for splurging on grocery store precut fruits and premade fresh spring rolls.
4) use the muscles I have so I don't lose them. Muscle maintenance is metabolism maintenance.
5) alcohol is not a necessary part of any diet. Be mindful.
Short term goals:
1)maintain my current physical fitness level and healthy diet
2)lose a little bit of extra fat
Plan to accomplish goals:
1)do something fun that challenges my fitness level at least once a week
2)be serious about no added sugar. I am addicted. I cannot control myself with "just a little bit."
3)weigh-in and track the trend weight.
4)set MFP diary settings to maintain weight at 1500 calories per day with macro goals set to 50% carbs, 20% protein, 30% fat. Try to keep weekly average of net calories within the 1500-2000 calories range dependent on exercise. As long as I meet my protein and fiber goals the carbs and fat seem to fall into place and as long as my weekly net calories are around 1800-2000 I seem to maintain weight even without extra exercise so just being more conscious of not going above 2000 should be enough. Thank you, strength training!
Round Goal: get the trend weight into 131.x and at least one of the daily weights into the 120s.
10/19Trend weight: 132.1 I kept to my plan. Really big breakfast, medium lunch, and small dinner is the routine I'm practicing right now.
10/20Trend weight: 132.1 Same same same. With the amount I'm strength training I can at least be sure that there is no "maintenance" going on. I have to remind myself that no one else cares what I weigh. It's not a number we pin on our shirts. My work-in-progress butt, on the other hand, is looking so good it's a service to the community.
10/21Trend weight: 132.1 This is day six of no scale change. Will power to not restrict calories made me eat a big bowl of beans for breakfast so that I won't overeat later tonight. So a NSV already achieved today in that despite my frustration with the scale, I'm still fueling myself appropriately.
10/22 Trend weight: 132.1 Day seven no scale change but I can see changes in myself. I may go another week in the 1800-2000 range as I'm still struggling to rid myself of my late-night snacking habit. Until that habit is gone gone gone it's probably best I don't restrict calories.
10/23 Today's weight: 132.2 Trend weight: 132.1 Reading my own posts I think it's best if I keep doing more of the same and don't try to change. Working on one little habit at a time.

SW RND 239 Not weighing until end of October when I hope to fit perfectly into my goal pants that are the symbol of fully re-commiting myself to daily moderation and a calm healthy lifestyle. At least, that's the plan.
10/19 Macros okay but not great, steps not met, light ST. Today will be better.
10/20 macros ✔️ steps ✔️ ST ✔️ good day and will power didn't feel tested. Routine starting to kick in?

It has been a bit tough lately for me even though I've mostly been staying in maintenance range (although not this morning). Having an injury that makes exercising difficult makes you have really buckle down on counting calories (which I have not been succeeding at).5 -

About Me:This is my eleventh 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.

SW: 232.8
GW (short term): 220
RGW: 229
10/19 - 231.8 - 3.33 miles - Got out for my walk late because I was working on notes for a story I'm writing for NaNoWriMo. Then I had to cut the walk short because I took too long and needed to pick my daughter up from work. Still got in a good amount of walking anyway. Then I just spend the whole day writing backstories for minor characters and having way too much fun. But it kept me from thinking about snacking all day.
10/20 - 231.8 - 3.7 miles - Did an extra long walk and then got a little more exercise later walking down to the creek near our house. It's a very steep walk that switch backs a couple times with stairs that are like 10" high. It's just a rough walk, but my daughter wanted to do her senior pictures on what looks like the last nice day before the pictures are due (in two weeks). So down I went. Took like hundred pictures and we only liked a few and most of those wouldn't be acceptable for the school (not the right pose) but she wants to put them on her instagram instead. So now I have to spend the weekend going through the pictures, picking the best ones and editing them in photoshop. Hopefully we can find one that really works.
10/21 - 231.0 - 3.57 miles - The weather has taken a turn. It was in the 70s and sunny the last few days, but the temps are supposed to continue to drop the next two weeks with rain. Today was in the 60s and dreary out, but the rain stayed away for my entire walk. In fact, it was just when I got back to the house that I started to feel sprinkles. So perfect timing. Made flounder for supper. Couldn't decide on a recipe to try so just did a bunch and everyone took small pieces of the different kinds to decide which was their favorite. Me and my oldest daughter like the plain butter and dill ones the best while my son and grandson like the one with breadcrumbs and parmesan. I didn't even have a recipe for the dill one, I just had a taste for dill (I even put some on my mashed potatoes) and I know it pairs well with fish. The fish was a big success and now I think I know which ones I'll make next time.
10/22 - 230.6 - 3.58 miles - Waited to do my walk until after the football game was over which was around 1pm. That was a good choice because it was raining when I got up at 8:30am, and when the game ended it was dreary but only sprinkled a little on the entire 75 minutes I was out. It's supposed to be like this most of this week, but next week the rains are supposed to come on strong (just in time for Halloween, of course). I'll be taking walks outside for as long as I possibly can.
10/23 - 229.4 - 3.64 miles - Pulled out a pair of sweats I bought a couple years ago that got too small. They were comfy standing up but my ankles/calves were so swelled that when I sat, the cuffs would cut off circulation in my legs and hurt. I had to tie them tight because the elastic was too loose. They're still too snug for my liking when I sit down (I just like really loose clothes), but they're going to be perfect for walking now that the temperatures are dropping. Dropped below 230lbs for the first time in probably 20 years. I'm still in shock at how much weight I've lost in this short of time. I never thought I'd see the scale in the 220s again. And here I am aiming for under 200 and thinking I might actually do it this time (I've done calorie tracking before but always gave up after a month or two but it's really stuck this time). Every time I think about having a "cheat" day or giving up or whatever, I look at the most recent number and think, do I really want to take two steps back? I know I'll get back down again, but do I really want to waste two days doing it? So far the answer has always been no and I just keep carrying on losing weight.

10/19: 274.6. Had a meeting in another town and planned to park a ways away and get my walking in beforehand, but traffic was backed up so by the time I got to the building I was already late; I went to the wrong building and ended up walking 4 blocks unintentionally, then parked a ways away from the place I picked up dinner and so I got most of my walking done. 😂
10/20: 275.4; probably water weight from eating salty food for dinner
However I got 30 minutes of activity today.
10/21: 273.6
10/22: 274 still here! Grocery shopping done for the week; bought lots of easy, good for me stuff that won't take a lot of time. Looking forward to getting some extra steps in at work tomorrow.
10/23: I'm cooking about it--roasted tomato and chicken pasta. Saved a lot of calories for dinner by having a stressful day at work 🫠🫠🫠

🏃♀️ 10/21: 159.6 My goal for this round now is just to stay under 160. However, my mini goal, 158, is now within sight! Getting there will take me out of the obese range on the BMI scale. !!!

🏃♀️ 10/23: 159.8 I've been a criminal, and I know it! 😆 The past two days, I've been staying within my calorie goal, but those calories included fried foods. As such, maintenance is expected. Tomorrow, I'll have something homemade and less greasy.
