65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 242 (my 172nd). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, as always, so grateful.
Goals for this round to get into 138s solidly, hopefully lose a pound and keep heart rate under 50 beats a minute, then longer term goal to get back to 135 in time for Christmas (just over 5 weeks!).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.

Day, Weight, Comment
SW RND 242
11/18 139.4 – 8.91 miles walked; all calories eaten back – feeding a cold!
11/19 139.4 – 10.4 miles walked, 60 exercise calories eaten back.
11/20 138.4 – another wet day yesterday so headed up to Quarry Bank Mill, a National Trust property 70 miles away, managed to get in 4 miles walking around the site and in between the indoor exhibitions/museums. 200 calories over.
11/21 139.4 – 9.35 miles walked, all calories eaten back.
11/22 139.4 – 9.18 miles walked, all calories eaten back.
11/23 139.4 – 9.54 miles walked yesterday, USA 🦃 Thanksgiving Day 🦃, hope you all have a wonderful cerebration.
11/24 139.4 – no structured walking due to child minding little DGS, must stop feeding this cold now it’s almost gone!
11/25 139.8 – 10.39 miles walked, all exercise calories plus 62 eaten back, we were out for Indian meal last night with friends, I had eaten super lightly earlier in the day to compensate so hoping this is mainly due to excess sodium. Just 2 days to turn this around!!
11/26 138.6 – 9.79 miles walked, less than 15% exercise calories eaten back.
11/27 138.6 – 7.85 miles walked, lunch out with siblings meant all calories + 200 eaten back. A loss this round again of 0.2 pound, but at least a loss!!
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!!

I'm 30F and committed to wondering less about the scale and wondering instead about how great it's going to be when my daily healthy practices are so normal that it would be weird not to do them, even on vacations or holidays. It has been nice so far. This round is the big test.
Also, I've gotten a lot of inspiration from pages like this one showing how muscle is so important over scale weight to get me to eat more calories and ST more with these before and afters https://www.boredpanda.com/same-weight-fitness-transformations/
SW RND 242
11/18 128.0 That's 7 pounds down since I started here! macros ✔️ ST ✔️
11/19 Macros ✔️ steps ✔️ I promise I'll be able to show my pants soon, 😂 I've got pics from Aug. 31 and Oct. 31 and the progress has been slow but is actually happening thanks to holding myself accountable to y'all. So if I can keep myself on track throughout this week it'll be Nov. 31 pants check!
11/20 macros ✔️ ST ✔️ steps ✔️ lol on my calendar ignorance, 10 more days til the Nov. 30th reveal
11/21 macros ✔️ ST ✔️ yoga ✔️
11/22 macros ✔️ and a bit of overeating once we got to family but nothing worth regretting. Going for a walk now and then cooking and ST later. plan: heavy effort ST so that my muscles need the feast of tomorrow
11/23 USA 🦃 Thanksgiving Day 🦃 plan: don't bother logging anything and post-feast walk with family is already agreed upon so we don't food coma on the couch. I'm pre-Thanskging grateful that my family is all on board with my plans.
11/24 steps and movement and food and fellowship ✔️ glad I'm not weighing because I'm stuffed. Remember, everyone, to gain a pound of fat we'd need to eat an EXTRA 3500 calories on top of our normal calorie needs. I'm sure all the Americans ate over our daily calorie needs yesterday and gained plenty of water weight and food weight and inflammation weight, but give it a few days back to normal and it'll come off the scale.
11/25 steps ✔️ will be better today
11/26 macros ✔️
11/27 macros ✔️

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Hi everyone, I’m joining a bit late. I’ve been using mfp about 10 years and rather than losing I have gained through all this years. I lost weight only two times and one was with Saxenda I immediately gained back after stopping (so not recommended), and the other time I lost very slowly but gained it back in a few years. So here I am trying again. Most of my trials ended up in a few weeks, I hope this time I turn it to a lifestyle.
RSW: 105 kg
RGW: 104 kg
UGW: 75 kg
11/20 - 105 kg
11/21 - 104.6 kg
11/22 - 104.8 kg
11/23 - 103.9 kg ( this is totally unexpected probably just not enough water)
11/24 - 103.7 kg (Oh, ok, this is real! Anyway at the first week is always easier to see the change)
11/25 - 103.9 kg
11/26 - 104.3 kg
11/27 - 104.1 kg
It’s been up and down but finally I kinda reached my goal.10 -

11/18. Was up most of the night the night before, so yesterday I dragged all day. Whats up with my sleeping patterns? ?!! I managed to get in a pretty good fat-burning work out yesterday but my steps were 🚫5k, ✅cal, macros, 65 min ex , 43 min cal 🔥 in Z 3. Stretch /agility.
11/19 Yesterday: 🚫 🚶♀️5k, ✅cal, macros, 61 ex min, 20 min Z3,🔥485 cal, 🏋️♀️20 min with DGS. We also played 30 minutes of basketball and it was so much fun! Very hard for me to stay in Z2&3 HR. Beautiful day.
NSV: Chose to walk with my grandson, taking our two pups to the vet and then picked them up an hour later… Before this journey, would’ve easily used the car. Walking with my grandson provided more great 1:1 time with him and 3k+ steps.
Slept 10 hrs last night. Today: stretch, tennis 🏋️♀️ and min 10k steps.
11/20 Yesterday: 🙆♀️🎾 🏋️♀️🚶♀️12+k steps, 💓Z3 90min, (total workout 196 minutes) 1234 cal & 🔥1106 total cal. Haven’t yet determined how to measure “fat cal 🔥” when not isolated. So for now measuring all calories “🔥” during workouts via Apple Watch & “Zones”.
After tennis, I walked extra, then walked 2+ miles RT to the grocery (mindful of HR zones). Then spent another hour piecing together strength training/calisthenics/stretching options… Since I have the luxury of time on my side, I’m having fun with it. So much to learn!
Slept well but up at 4am. Still have energy this morn so let’s see what my day brings…
🙆♀️, 🎾, 🚶♀️, 🏋️♀️? Trying to ready myself for 🦃!
Planning for restraint. I’m not crazy about Thanksgiving eats, so I’m not overly concerned. BUT, It’s the 🍷that will be ever-so-tempting!
We are thrilled to meet our sixth grandchild Thursday!
Good luck to all! This 🦃 I’m not cooking so I’m fortunate to not be nibbling / eating for 3-4 days. Working out instead….
11/21 Yesterday: 🚶♀️12.2k, ✅cal 1321, macros, 71 ex min, 40 min Z2,🔥249 fat cal, 🔥375 total.
Figuring out how to utilize the “zones” app. Need to isolate a “fat- burning” workout on its own. I burn less calories per minute but the benefit is burning stored fat – a strategy to help achieve my fitness goal to “lose fat and gain muscle”. We’ll see how all that works out… experimenting till early January - for next InBody.
And, ngl , I am sincerely curious/wondering why scale results haven’t drifted lower… Not bothered by it, but I definitely continue a daily calorie deficit so there’s that….. Figuring out my body for sure. I’m patient and committed. Doing hard things. 💪🏻😎
All are on different paths and have unique goals. A commonality is that THIS is truly a battle of the mind. I can’t tell you how many times a day I have to CHANGE MY SELF-TALK. Be kind to yourself and stay determined. Keep your promises. Daily affirmations work!
11/22. Slept great last night, but up way too early again… Yesterday was disciplined. (A very good thing!).
🚶♀️11.1k, ✅cal 1408, macros, 92 ex min, 66 min Z2,🔥405 fat cal, 🔥631 total.
Two structured walks. Literally FORGOT to 🏋️♀️. Tells me my routine needs to get automated. I was super hungry around 1030am so I enjoyed an early big lunch (protein). Afternoon - beef broth and lots of 💦 - small dinner.
Traveling today. Will try to get in walk/ 🏋️♀️ before we leave… But if I can’t, I can’t.
Bringing hard-boiled eggs, protein and electrolytes for car. Checked out the menus for the restaurant tonight - will order salmon. My BIL mixes the worlds best martini so I MAY enjoy one!
11/23. 🚶♀️Happy Thanksgiving!! So very grateful and blessed.
Yesterday: 🚶♀️10.1k, ✅ 1709 cal , 🚫 macros (carbs % over) , 105 ex min, 🔥40 min Z2,🔥405 fat cal, 🔥 907 total cal. I was able to get about 15 min 🏋️♀️but focused on 🎾 and 🚶♀️. So glad I was active before getting on the road.
Dinner out. Followed plan but large portions. Calories ok, but carbs a little over. Really good day!
Yes, enjoyed that ONE 🍸 delicious martini. But this morning I feel like I had four of them…. nauseous and a little slow this morn. Ready for a wonderful day! Sending hope and joy to all of you! Let’s roll!
11/24 Yesterday: Estimated & entered 2300 cal into MFP for yesterday. I give myself a B- for the day. Ate some Brie, delicious turkey (dark meat only) & salad. Small taste of dressing. My carb splurge was one white chocolate pumpkin spice cookie and three 🍷.
Holding our 4wk DGD was sublime! She is precious. Nothing like a new baby to make a holiday super special!
Visiting family all day today not sure what to expect but will do my best. Declaring food & alcohol holiday officially over. Back on plan. Will walk and stretch today.
11/25 Yesterday: 🚶♀️12.4k, ✅cal 1496 ✅macros, 69 ex min, 55 min 💓Z2,🔥259 fat cal, 🔥391 total. Serious 🏋️♀️for 10 min.
Nice family day yesterday. ✅Ate healthy. Traveling home today to avoid Sunday bad weather forecast. Seriously considering a water/black coffee fast - undecided about length…. Will decide length/parameters later this morn. Have been reading up on it - Interested in health benefits and what it feels like. I don’t want to commit unless 💯.
NSVs: stayed focused without being obsessed. 5 mile 🚶♀️days W, Th, and F! Kept with the plan.
11/26. Yesterday I decided to start a fast since we were traveling - 35 hours so far. Going well! I’ve never done this before & I do love a challenge -viewing it as a competition with myself. Today, Im allowed 💦 water galore, 16 Oz. of bone broth, electrolytes & coffee. I’ve also decided my goal is 72 hrs to 7pm Monday night. Why not?! Planning meal…. Steak & eggs.
Raining ALL DAY TODAY…. A nice fire and reading…. Wont 🏋️♀️ - re: possible cramping.
Yesterday: 🚶♀️4.2k, ✅cal ZERO, 20 min. 🙆♀️.
11/27 129.2lbs. First time I’ve officially hit my weight goal in 12 rounds. No roller coaster. 🚫🎢. Just wow.
I know from past experience that the work cannot stop. No slacking. No food rewards. Keep working the process. My goal is to get physically fit. Watched super fit 90+ year olds on Instagram …. ST, walking, & stretching- enjoying moving and making healthy choices. I want what they have…. 😎💓
How do I feel from fasting? Hmmm… ok. Read many testimonies re: increased energy, clarity, etc…. but I’m not sure I feel any different. Feel extra “clean”. Slept soundly. I have 13 hrs to go to hit 72 hrs. 💪🏻
NSV: I know I have the discipline to accomplish what I set out to do. Game changer. I definitely like feeling “in control”… The tough part is ahead of me - remaining mindful and challenging movement! So very grateful!
Yesterday: 🚶♀️2.9k, ✅cal 80 (bone broth), 🙆♀️ 20 min. I didn’t move yesterday. I’ll definitely move today - will pace myself to start back toward movement levels before last Wednesday and fasting.
Today: 🎾, 🏋️♀️🚶♀️. @7pm will end this waterfast with prime rib, butter and eggs. Review goals /process and see y’all in R243!

HW 172lbs in 2010.
UG 130lbs ceiling
(+ 3lbs muscle/-3lbs fat) Next InBody 1/1/2024
In Aug 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take control of my health. I lost 30 pounds by 1/1/2015. Weight topped @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Five years!
🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….
2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-135lbs. Three more good years.
2022 crept up to 140lbs by 8/1. Dropped to 128lbs again by 9/30 then held steady till 12/31.
2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating and margaritas way too much! Started tracking. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are!
I learned my choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight/fitness trends. My goal is to reach 130lbs as a ceiling. Pretty clear to me that once I reached my 60s, I would reach a goal weight and then go backwards. Thank goodness 145lbs was the max over the last nine years.

11/27 - honestly I'm a bit flabbergasted. I have been pretty out of control with my eating since Thursday. I haven't tracked or anything. Too many sweets and high fat foods. 🤷♀️ I'm happy to end on a positive note, but I feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop!
Previous Comments:
11/18 - I ended Round 241 yesterday at 244lbs. And woke up to 241.2lbs this morning. I've been constipated for a few days and now I'm not. Chalking the drastic change up to that. Beginning today I want to add exercise to my program. I have somewhat limited mobility so I'm only going to aim for 15 minutes per day. The low goal is doable for me and motivating when I get it done. I plan to add 5 minutes a week until I get where I want to be. Excited for another round. It really feels like I can do anything for 10 days! 💪👏🥳
11/19 - I went over my calories by a good bit yesterday. The culprit was some honey roasted peanuts that hubby brought. Soooo many calories for hardly any food. But I kept going by and grabbing a palmful. He's going to have to put those in his work truck and take them to work. I'm too new at this to have tempting high cal food in the house.
We also worked really hard on our house yesterday. We have some minor remodel projects plus trying to get some deep cleaning done because we have family coming Saturday for thanksgiving (our 2nd one.) For the last few years I haven't had the energy for deep cleaning and we haven't really been able to have people over, but the house, and thereby we, are suffering. So it's all hands on deck. The good news about deep cleaning is that I'm up and moving more. Bad news is that I get very sick (fibromyalgia) every time I'm overly active, and if course there's a super fine line there.
I didn't "exercise" yesterday but I was on my feet and moving for the majority of the day. I burned over 400 calories just in steps and not counting standing and lifting things. Got a lot more work to do today, too.
11/20 - Good day yesterday. I was well under my calorie limit. I made fried rice for dinner and used a commercial teriyaki sauce that had a lot of sodium, so I'm probably retaining water. We got a lot more work done on the house so I know I burned some calories. I doubled my step goal for the day. Sometimes the scale just doesn't reflect what you're doing no matter what. But my clothes are fitting better already and I can see a difference in my face.
But ultimately I want to focus on health. Weight loss and body composition changes are wonderful but I just want to learn to enjoy making healthy choices and being healthy.
Oh, and I saw a tip on a YouTube video to keep an 8-16 oz jar by the fridge and fill it up and drink it every time you go into the kitchen. I'm doing more like every other time, but I've vastly increased the oz of water I'm drinking each day with that one little change. 💦🌊
11/21 - Holding steady. Still trucking along. I have my first holiday party to attend tonight with my Bible study group. Luckily for me most of the food won't be available to me since I'm vegetarian. I'm taking a veggie tray so there will be something healthy there. But at the same time, I plan to enjoy myself. If I go a little over on calories, so be it.
11/22 - Holiday party last night. It went well and I had a ton of fun. I'm sure I went over my calories, but the food was good and I enjoyed myself and I didn't track it. There were all sorts of finger foods and I don't really know how I would begin to track it all. I didn't go too crazy, so I'm going to take that as a win.
11/26 - I did not weigh, track or exercise the last couple of days. I just enjoyed my Thanksgiving dinners with my family and friends. I thought for sure the scale would reflect it, but it doesn't show any significant difference this morning. It may take a couple of days to catch up. I didn't meet my goals for this round but that's ok. They were ambitious for Thanksgiving week. I'll be back next round!11 -

DH and I are parents to 2 DD who are in their late teens. I’ve made a commitment to get myself in check before I’m 50
Ergh. Well the weekend was a total disaster for me. Rounds of socialising really knocked me sideways. Now I’m feeling poorly too with a sore throat and cold. Feeling deflated because I had such high hopes for this round. Hoping I do better next round 🤞

11/20-168-Polished the silver and cleaned the garage yesterday. Spent last week doing as much as I can to get ready for Thanksgiving. Chiropractor this morning and just a few things from the grocery store.
11/21-168-Getting flowers for my decor today. First son arrives tonight, next son tomorrow. Picking up a quilt to quilt for a lady who needs it as a Christmas present. I’ll have my work cut out for me.
11/22-167-It was a wonderful 70 degrees here yesterday, so I spread bark in the yard and hosed everything down.
11/24-DNW-Had MIL and her 4 siblings here yesterday and now that they all hover around 80, some funny oddball things happened but at least we are laughing about it.
11/25-168-Made turkey soup and ranch bread. Sent the rest of the bread home with one of the boys. Nice to have a free Saturday.
11/26-170-It was cold and breezy so I just stayed inside and sewed all day. Added stuffing to my bowl of turkey soup and had leftover chicken enchiladas for dinner, heavy food.
11/27-DNW-Still eating soup but tossing the carby crap. Cleaning up the house today and riding the horse after it warms up.

Day, Weight, Comment
11/18 - DNW
Weird to intentionally not weigh myself in the morning. I’ve been doing it almost every day for so long! It’s a beautiful, chilly, sunny Saturday here, and I’m about to head out for a walk and then a little garden cleanup. Then a friend is coming to give me a Cocker Spaniel grooming lesson — whole new kind of coat for me after decades of Labrador Retrievers and Australian Shepherds. Then maybe some housecleaning? Nah! Happy weekend, all!
11/19 - DNW
I feel very lazy today. I just want to lie in bed and read and knit and nap. But first, a walk, and some tidying up. Pretty bad, huh?
11/20 - DNW
I’ve been thinking of looking for a used dresser for storing yarn, so I can see what I have better than on the shelves I have. Sweet serendipity—a neighbor posted one free on our neighborhood fb group. She said the people they bought from left it. So today’s project is cleaning it well. It’s nice and solid but someone gave it a bad paint job. I’ll refinish it when it warms up in a few months, but want to use it in the meantime. So cleaning, moving, and filling it up will keep me out of the fridge for a bit!
11/21 - DNW
Feeling yucky this morning after a night with mild vertigo. Still getting that world-spinning-around-me feeling if I bend over or move my head too quickly. Also mild nausea. I don’t know what’s going on, other than I went to lunch with a friend yesterday. I had two eggs, two pieces of bacon, one piece banana bread, and way too much coffee. Maybe it’s the coffee. Maybe I need to go back to bed for a bit. Ugh.
11/22 - 187.2
I decided to weigh at “half-round” and day before Thanksgiving. Down 2.2 lb. this so far this round! I knew I was behaving myself, and I have to say, it’s motivating. We’re going to friends tomorrow for TG dinner, and I plan to eat light today and for brunch tomorrow and focus on veggies and turkey and go light on all the rest—enough to get a holiday taste without loading calories. I will have dessert, though—I’m taking my pumpkin spice pecan dump cake, which tastes like a combo of pumpkin and pecan pies. Small piece. 😁
11/23 - 🦃 Happy Thanksgiving, everyone, in the U.S. and elsewhere!
11/24 - DNW
I hope everyone in the U.S. had a lovely holiday. We had a nice dinner with my friend who has been very sick this past year and her husband. I had a bit of everything, but reasonable portions and no seconds, so hopefully not much damage done. I’ll find out on Monday!
11/25 - DNW
Since we didn’t have turkey at home and therefore no leftovers, we went to Bob Evans for their roast turkey yesterday. I got the smaller version with turkey, no dressing, and broccoli instead of mashed potatoes and gravy. Who’s a good girl? 😁 But I did have a piece of pumpkin-pecan crunch dump cake later. Still, not horrible for a holiday weekend. Making a salad for lunch today.
11/26 - DNW
Oooh, I sort of went off the rails yesterday. Maybe it’s the colder weather, but I craved (and ate) carbs and fat yesterday. I feel bloated. I’m going to try to do better today.
11/27 - 189
Ok, a little less than the end of last round. I knew that low day half way through was probably a fluke from being sick.
I’m thinking of taking a break for a few rounds, maybe through the end of the year. I just have a sense that I’ve been too focused on food and numbers for too long—8 years, down and up—and that shifting my focus might change things up. (I also feel like I spend way too much time on my iPad, and food-related things are a big part of that time.) We’ll see. Maybe not.

@SheilaBoneham said~
"I’m thinking of taking a break for a few rounds, maybe through the end of the year. I just have a sense that I’ve been too focused on food and numbers for too long—8 years, down and up—and that shifting my focus might change things up. (I also feel like I spend way too much time on my iPad, and food-related things are a big part of that time.) We’ll see. Maybe not."

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.

11/18 129.5 Today is DH’s 75th birthday. No plans so far.
11/19 130.5 Dinner last night with DD and her family at Mexican restaurant. Food was MEH but the place was so noisy you couldn’t hear yourself think. Not particularly impressed with either the margarita or the food.
11/20 130.0 We have so many leftovers from eating out! Yesterday was Great Greek day. I have steak leftover.
11/21 129.5 My feet were killing me last night but life goes on. Interestingly, my right foot (which has been hurting for 3 weeks) doesn’t hurt at all so far today. I’m going to the podiatrist about it tomorrow. Groceries purchased. Tomorrow I’m making 3 pies and 18 deviled eggs (36 halves) to add to the Thanksgiving buffet at our daughter’s on Thursday.
11/22 130.5 I had an early appointment and then got caught up in other things. I almost forgot to check in. Tomorrow will be crazy too. To all who celebrate- HAPPY THANKSGIVING! See you in the morning between filling deviled eggs and getting dressed to go to DD’s.
11/23 130.5 Awake at 4:15 again! USA🦃 Thanksgiving Day 🦃
11/24 132.5 I’m okay with this. I enjoyed the day with family and friends. Drank wine and ate dessert which were definitely splurges. PROUD that I didn’t stuff myself to the point of discomfort, I was satisfied. Lots of carbs though. Granddaughters made pumpkin pudding shots which were delicious. The other grandma was supposed to make pumpkin pie but brought store bought apple so those who partake of alcohol had the shots. LOL I have a potluck on Monday and plan to take ham and zucchini au gratin - a mash up of keto friendly recipes.
11/25 131.5 Not logging food. Ate my sliver of French Silk pie (I made for DGD#4)
11/26 132.0 No TMI
11/27 131.5 Still no TMI I’m okay with an increase in the average with DH’s b-day and Thanksgiving.6 -

11/26 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) Our Thanksgiving Dinner was wonderful yesterday. Too much food! Today I travel to the movie theater with my grandson (5 yrs old), daughter, daughter-in-law and other (4 yr old) grandson. I just learned there is a theater about 60 miles from my house each way so off to see Trolls it is! I promised the 5 yr old I would take him to the movies and get popcorn if he would stop pooping his pants. I promised him during the summer and it’s been weeks now that he has stayed clean. A promise is a promise so that older overweight lady with the fake smile plastered on her face in the theater today will be me. I do love the movies and want to teach that love to my grandchildren. I’m just more of a Disney or Pixar fan. I also like Illumination Studios pretty well too. The good thing about Trolls: It is guaranteed to always have good music in it.
11/27 -180.4- (Trend weight 182.4) This is a 0.6 lb gain this round which is not bad considering the FOOD holiday of Thanksgiving thrown into the mix. But this round also completes another 10 round cycle which I keep track of in my spoiler. For the last 10 rounds (100 days) I have lost 17.6 pounds. For that I am thankful and grateful. I have a long way to go, still yet, so I’ll keep pushing forward and fighting tooth and nail. Nice round for everyone. So many inspirations. See you tomorrow in round 243.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Didn't meet my goal, however it was not as off track as i had feared it would be--typically after Thanksgiving I am still eating leftovers by this point and afraid to step on the scale, then that weight hangs around until after the new year with compounded interest at Christmas, lol. So that's a win, i think 🏆Will get some extra steps in at work today. On to the next round!
11/19: 266.6. I weighed myself three times in a row to see if it was true 😂 I tried on a pair of jeans I bought online last year that were too small. They didn't just zip, they actually fit 🏆
11/20: 266. I'm going to have to get a big, big coffee today if I'm going to get anything done. I did my grocery shopping online last night so i will gave some real food to pick up on the way home tonight. I'm doing my best to eat well before Thanksgiving. However, i am not getting enough sleep, which for some reason makes me hungrier so it's a good thing I'll have a bunch of fruit this evening. Vacation starts tomorrow (why did i not request today off too? 😆). Looking forward to more mushrooming over the break.
11/21: DNW today. I'm thinking it might be a good idea to just weigh at the end of the challenge and keep counting calories through the week. Since i know my weight will fluctuate more over the holiday and probably for a few days afterward, I will hold off and see if i have maintained my weight or if it's changed and go from there.
11/22: DNW today. Cleaning and shopping. Tonight I'm doing some cooming prep, and it's hard to believe but tomorrow I'll just have to roast vegetables and get the meat in the oven, and make dessert. For me to do only an hour or two of cooking on Thanksgiving is like a vacation 😂 I did make some cookie dough last night and had a couple, but I figured them into my calories, then i froze the rest of the dough so there wouldn't be cookies hanging out here today. That's a NSV for me, and I'm kicking myself for not thinking of that sooner 🙃
11/23 🦃🥧 Good wonderful day of cooking. Birria turned out amazing--must do again; maybe smoke it a little before putting it in the oven. DNW
11/24: DNW. A second day of hedonism, but my evil plan has worked and all of the food is gone. Muahahahaha
11/25: DNW. Back on track today. Didn't feel hungry hardly at all really so came in well under the daily calorie goal. Tired today; apparently i really needed sleep because at 8:00 I am done and ready for bed. 💤
11/26: DNW. Got our tree up today 🎄 Was kind of stressed this morning but colored lights and a walk in the sun and cold weather made me feel better. Not particularly hungry today either, which is fine with me
Back to work tomorrow.7 -

I am about 12 kg along the way to lose 32 kg. I use multiple tape measurements (cm) around my body because they aren't affected by salt intake. Apparently I've been trying to lose weight since September 2012, the last time I was at goal weight. Let's see if stopping eating sugary food is going to change things.

My sixth day! Nov 27th. I like this challenge. So far so good. I worked outside most of Sunday and went to bed without reporting. Two eggs most mornings, sometimes a protein shake of my own making. My starting weight for round 242 was 202.6 and EW is 200.5. I am pretty ecstatic. Sticking with meat or chicken salad lunches. See you tomorrow night. Working on my before picture!

About Me:This is my fourteenth round and really appreciate 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. We live in the Pacific Northwest where we're entering the rainy season which makes walking a lot harder, and it's my main form of exercise right now. I do have access to gym equipment at our HOA clubhouse, but I still have to walk there and back (takes about 9 minutes).

11/18 - 216.0 - no exercise - Worked for four hours today. About an hour and a half on the computer and then the rest behind the meat/seafood counter. It was a littler overwhelming, but we closed early because several people called in sick and the only person left that knew what they were doing had been there since like 5am or something. So I worked until 5. Then got home and found my husband had made burgers for dinner in the cast iron pan. The kitchen was a mess. So I spent an hour unloading the dishwasher (my 13yo did help with that without me even asking), then cleaned up from dinner, washed the pans and cleaned the counters and stove. I finally sat down to eat my own meal at 6. And again, I feel stuffed. Like so full, I feel sick. And I had less than last night or the night before. Not sure what's going on with my stomach, but I guess I'll have to cut back portions so I don't feel sick at work (I was eating the food I had taken for my lunch break). Overall, it was a good day.
11/19 - 215.0 - no exercise - Worked a little over six hours today. Wasn't really hungry during it. I had a salad like 45 minutes before I started then worked 4 hours before taking my break. My husband got me me a sandwich from Walmart that said it was about 420 calories. So I added some stuff to it and had it for dinner. It was filling but didn't make me feel sick like the last two days. But once I got home, I started getting the same upset stomach. So still not sure what's causing it, but I'll figure it out (or it'll just go away on its own.
11/20 - 215.2 - no exercise - Had to call in sick to work today. On my third day working behind the counter. I woke up with my throat so sore this morning, I could barely talk. Like literally my voice was gone. And I felt lightheaded and kind of weak. I took a bunch of cold medicine and hoped it would get better by 9:30 even with all the pain relievers I could take, I was still in a lot of pain and felt warm to the touch. So I called in. I felt so bad because they're short-staffed (which is why I was hired), and I'm already calling out and probably will have to tomorrow, too. Then Wed/Thur are my normal days off. I hope I'm feeling better by Friday. This cold is also messing with my weight loss because when I'm sick, I want to eat all the comfort food and I definitely don't want to exercise so even if I wasn't working, I wouldn't be out walkin either. I ate way to much today, but it's not the end of the world.
11/21 - 213.0 - no exercise - Missed work again today. My throat felt a million times better when I got up, but I was still lightheaded and weak. Like I felt find just sitting around, but as soon as I got up and started moving, I'd get dizzy. And moving my arms and legs... felt like I was lifting 20lb weights with each movement, leaving me worn out and sore just like going up the stairs or whatever. I did manage to make some stir fry for dinner. I have no idea why my weight fell so much overnight. I ate A LOT yesterday. I had Kraft mac & cheese with a hot dog on bread for lunch, a nice portion of pork roast with instant potatoes and a bunch of veggies for dinner and way too many veggie straws. I was really craving comfort food with how sick I felt.
11/22 - 214.0 - no exercise - Ate way too much leftover stir fry tonight. Ugh. I also made chocolate chip cookies for the kids and couldn't resist having a couple. And then when I went to make dinner for my grandson, I decided to have a third because I was already way over my calories for the day so one more wasn't going to make much of a difference. Plus tomorrow is Thanksgiving which is my big cheat day of the year. I did most of my prepping already so I can relax in the morning before putting the turkey in around 11:30-12. My eldest son is coming over with his dog (his girlfriend has to work and may or may not come by when she gets off) and my middle daughter came for a visit a couple weeks ago and decided to stay for the holidays. It's the first Thanksgiving she's been home for in a few years. Problem is, I don't know if we have enough chairs for everyone.
11/23 - 213.0 - no exercise - Happy Thanksgiving and ugh... I ate way too much today. I wanted a little of everything with dinner, but it was still too much when I'm used to eating really small portions/meals. I've been sick since dinner and didn't even get to enjoy a slice of apple pie. I guess I have to give myself permission to have that pie after work tomorrow. Then it's back to watching what I eat on Saturday. I was too sick to even hang out with the kids after dinner. All five were home for the first time in years. They all played board games together while I sat uncomfortably with my regrets in my room.
11/24 - 214.6 - no exercise - My weight wasn't up as much as I thought it would be. But it'll probably be up again tomorrow. I had a small lunch, but a much bigger dinner (although not as big as on Thanksgiving). I also had a full slice of pumpkin pie for breakfast and a full slice of apple pie with ice cream for dessert. But tomorrow, I go back to small portions and no desserts. Maybe a thin slice of pumpkin pie with my coffee but then a small lunch.
11/25 - 215.4 - no exercise - Ack, the holidays are going to be way harder than I anticipated. I just want all the yummy, fun food that I shouldn't have. I had a very small dinner tonight, but also had half a slice of cheesecakes. But that's that. I can have a half slice of pumpkin pie with my coffee in the morning but no more other desserts or snacking.
11/26 - 214.0 - no exercise - Closed on my own at my job for the first time. I think I did okay. My hands are now so dry that my phone doesn't recognize my fingerprint to unlock it, lol. I've bought lotion for at home and a small one to keep in my pocket at work. I've cut back on my portions for dinner because I always feel so full after eating and then I have 3 1/2 more hours to work and it's uncomfortable.
11/27 - 214.0 - no exercise - I'm really craving chips lately. I had a feeling once I started working that I would want chips a lot more. I just want to go home after being on my feet all day, sit back, kick up my feet and munch on a big bag of chips and dip. Sigh. I've been good, though. Well I did have cookies last night, but those are gone now. I made my round goal, though, so that's good. But now I need to get below my lowest weight which was 213.0. Not sure that will happen until the Thanksgiving leftovers are gone.5 -
🏈🦃🍁10 more days🍁🦃🏈
I’m 65 years young, working on the last 10 pounds. November brings many birthday celebrations, and of course, Thanksgiving. Food during this month is not as big an issue for me as the empty calories of sipping wine 🍷 with friends. These next few days my goal is to have fewer 🍷 glasses on my daily reports, which will then equal fewer pounds at the end of 10 days! Good luck everyone!
