02/14 175.6 Wrong way!!!!! I’m feeling puffy today. My overall calories were fine yesterday but too much sodium and eaten late.
I’m feeling pretty good today but that might change if I attempt to wear “hard” clothes today, meaning anything with a zipper or button. It might be a legging day!
DH has planned a small adventure today with breakfast/lunch at a fabulous farm to table diner, a drive in the mountains and stopping for roadside attractions. He knows my heart.
Home in time for an afternoon nap on the couch with little dogs.6 -

Yesterday I made an eating plan and pretty much followed it, hitting all the goals. I was productive at the computer, too, which is important to keep the stress down. Now just rinse and repeat.
I’m just catching up on the posts:
@DragonfliesAgain @silistic @achefling @kandd416 - Welcome to the challenge!
@_JeffreyD_ - Welcome back to the scale! I, too, have found myself staring into the panty without any recall of how I got there!
@jspescies11- A solo beach trip get away sounds wonderful! I miss the salty air smell and dipping into the waves. Enjoy!
@Skyleen75 -I was a smoker years ago and that, [mindless snacking], had a similar pattern to it. It was a mental bookend to doing tasks. I think I do that with food without ever realizing it.
@Pezhed (40! WOO HOO) @theslightedgeforever – Happy belated birthdays!
@DragonfliesAgain – Good job on the lap swim! It is the backbone of my aerobics after a hip problem cut out my walking.
@itlaydee – Nice drop after book club. It must have been a skinny-girls' book club meeting!
@Everybody – Happy Valentine day!

BackstoryIn 2022 I was around 157lbs with 24% bf. Was definitely in the “best shape” of my adult life then. Since then I started a new career working from home as a developer. Have moved away from my family for fiancés job. We’ve moved several times to various states in a short time span. So far we’ve moved 3 times, all about 9 months apart. Welcomed two puppies into the mix. Lots of changes. Lots of time spent at home. Lots of time spent away from family. Fell out of touch with friends. All of the adjustments and figuring out how to manage/handle more daily responsibilities and navigate through this phase of life has manifested into me gaining 20+lbs and losing a lot of willpower, motivation, drive, positivity, etc that I once thrived on. Found this challenge and it has been helping me get it back. Nothing is permanent! Looking forward to working through this.
Overall Goals and ChallengesGoals
1. Focusing on behavior and mindset. Calories have been going way over for so long I need to reel the behavior back in a healthy way.
2. Don’t give up on the day when it’s challenging. Choose to make good decisions in those moments instead of giving in.
Challenges
1. Working from home makes it easy to stress eat or just eat out of boredom/habit.
2. Sleeping less (have two puppies, a 9mo and a 1yr old) makes it hard to wake up early enough to get a good workout in or at least to feel good awaking up. Feel defeated in the motivation and drive department compared to how I was previously.
Daily, Small, Attainable Goals1. Finish 1st 27oz water before 2pm
2. Finish 2nd 27oz water before bed
3. Alternate standing and sitting at desk every other hour during working hours (or stand at least half of the day).
4. Hit maintenance calories at a minimum.
5. -200 cal deficit on gym days
6. If I go over cals, try to cap it at +200
7. Weekly deficit of 1300cals.
Helpful Reminders…it IS possible to achieve my goals. Sometimes it CAN just be that simple…

Gym: rest day
Wins: met my goals yesterday. Had to step away from work for a doctors appointment which helped take me out of tunnel vision screen mode.
Challenges: the days where I have no meetings and can just power through my work are great days scheduling wise because I can just get work done uninterrupted. I do love those days, but those days seem to be the hardest as far as my personal goals go. I tend to eat what I have planned in mfp too soon and it starts spiraling. Need to have a better strategy for those days.6 -

@reshii_devi YES I love this realization for you! I can see from your comments here that you are always showing up and supporting others. I'm glad you are being your own Valentine and turning some of that love inward. Don't worry, there is plenty to go around if you love yourself as you love others. Be as kind and as compassionate to yourself as you would to your bestie!5

Hi again, I'm Amanda! 5'2" 40F in Virginia.
RSW: 126.2
RGW: 124.0
Non-scale goals (tracked for prior day)
🏃🏻♀️ Run at least 20 miles
🏋🏻♀️ Strength train 5/10 days
2/10 - 126.4 🏋🏻♀️ Today is my 40th birthday! Great day to regroup after falling off at the end of last round (and gaining 2 pounds). We went out Friday night and I drank SIGNIFICANTLY too much alcohol. I suffered all weekend for it. So today is a perfect day to wipe the slate clean. Since the kids are in school/daycare today, I'm planning on doing 40 for 40:
- Bike 10 miles to the climbing gym
- Climb 10 routes
- Bike 10 miles home
- Run 5 miles
- Mountain bike 5 miles this afternoon with a friend
Dinner isn't going to be too crazy tonight but there will be cake
2/11 - 124.6 🏃🏻♀️ (6 miles). Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes!!! It was a great day. My 40 for 40 didn't quite work out once I found out the climbing gym didn't open until 3. Had to be home for the school bus by 4:25. I walked the dogs 2 miles, ran 6 miles, did a Peloton ride for 7 miles, then did a 15-mile road bike ride, totaling 30 miles, then a 10-minute stretch right before the bus came LOL. Ah well, it was a last-minute plan anyway. Today is a snow day for everyone so I'm unlikely to get more than a moment to myself. Happy Tuesday everyone!
2/12 - 123.6 🏋🏻♀️ Happy with today’s weight! Feel like I’m getting closer to where I was before the SF trip/birthday shenanigans. I have a head cold that gave me a bit of a fever overnight and is making breathing really challenging. The kids are home again from school since the town is now coated in ice. Today is a recovery day for me from working out and also this nuisance cold.
2/13 - 124.4. Deserved gain. I didn't go too crazy yesterday but I also didn't track. Today I need to work harder to stay on track and write down what I put in my mouth. Leftover cake isn't helping any! DH is helping make fairly short work of it but there was a lot left. The kids have another snow day, mostly due to power outages all over town. Thanking our lucky stars that we have power this morning as many of my friends don't. Hoping the warmer temperatures melt most of the ice before the wind picks up this afternoon. February is a popular ice time! My youngest was born during a similar ice storm on February 18, 2021. I got on the treadmill this morning before DH went to work and will be momming for most of the rest of the day. We haven't left the house since Monday so I think we'll go on an exciting outing to the grocery store after I do some meal planning. Stay warm everyone!
2/14 - 124.2 🏃🏻♀️ (3.3 miles). Happy Valentine's Day everyone! DH and I don't really celebrate, but I celebrated all week by helping my kindergartener make cards for his class, which he won't get to distribute until Tuesday, because they have ANOTHER snow day today. Almost everything is melted after a 50-degree afternoon yesterday, but there are still power outages everywhere, including at some of the schools. Thankfully power was restored to my youngest's daycare center yesterday so he got to go today. It's much easier to only have an almost-six-year-old around. He has a friend over now so I'm going to go hide in the basement and do some strength training and running while I have a chance (and while they destroy every bedroom and the living room LOL).

You may have already done so but I missed it. (bulking, cutting, strengthening, etc.) Will you be entering a competition or is it more for personal satisfaction?
(or tell me it is none of my beeswax)
Why thank you! Part of my dedication to my plan is having a coach paid for up front. The whole sunk cost thing really irks me so I've done the work. Now that coaching is coming to an end, I'm more concerned that I will slip up. Luckily I have 10 months of habits I've built with coach that I hope will see me through. I also have BF and other friends who have seen me put in the work that won't let me go too far off track. I hope.
As for my goal - it's simply personal. I know that muscle mass naturally declines with age, beginning as early as the 30s for some, unless something is done to offset that. So I wanted to cycle through a bulking phase to really put on some extra muscle so maintenance is easier going forward.
Part of it is also due to my back. I had a spinal fusion in October of 2016 and I've been absolutely petrified of causing more damage related to it so I've been overly cautious. Being in the military and in good physical shape then suddenly being stuck in a bed or chair most of the day really did a number on me mentally. I put on weight I never ended up losing and I lost so much muscle and strength. I've felt quite pitiful since. Quite simply, I want to see if I can be in better shape than I was while I was in the military, even with my injury holding me back in several areas. It helps a lot that one of the coaches in the program also has a spinal fusion (she and I are the same age) and, if she had never mentioned it, I would've never guessed! She's out there doing everything without issue. I'd like that level of freedom and I know a strong body will help me avoid injury.
So, I'm finishing my bulk (eating in a ~10% surplus) to put on as much muscle as I can while minimizing fat gain. Then I'll transition to finding my maintenance (happy place) for a week or two before I slowly decrease into a cut. I won't aim for more than 20% deficit as Coach and I realized my body does not perform well beyond that for longer than, say, a week with how active I am and my desire to maintain as much of this muscle as I can (too fast of a loss will take some muscle with it). This cut will help me shed some of the body fat I put on during this bulk and hopefully lead me into a very happy maintenance I can stick to long term.
I hope that helps clarify things a bit. Feel free to ask away! I'm open to this group because all of you are so amazing4 -
On the same thread @CamandJarvis bulking is really hard especially for anyone who has spent time focusing on losing weight. Don’t get discouraged!!!
It's so hard, mentally! But I'm trusting the process. I'm glad I had a coach who has been through this (in fact, she's 18 weeks out from her first competition!) and knows what it's like to go through bulking mentally when all you want to do in the end is slim down. But I know the muscle will help the slimming and overall long-term health (especially as I approach mid-30s). If I don't start now while I'm young, it's only going to get more challenging!5 -

2/14 - 168.5 - Bouncy bouncy. This is okay. I was very diligent about hitting all my goals yesterday. I very nearly missed my water goal but I fortunately realized I had mistracked and was able to get those last 20oz down in a timely manner before bed. Today I've decided that shrimp "alfredo" (the Italian version with only butter and parmigiano reggiano with pasta and a bit of pasta water) sounded delightful. I've logged that and my breakfast already so I know where I stand for lunch, when the time comes. Nothing sounded quite right so I knew I'd have to figure it out when I began to feel a bit hungry. I have my boundaries set and it won't be too hard to fit within them. There is plenty enough room in the macro budget. An afternoon snack may be a bit more challenging to fit in, but I daresay I'll manage, as I have the last few weeks. Gym was good and another week stronger! Only one more week on this workout plan before I change it up with my new plan I have written out. I need to figure out what app will be best for me to track for progression (or rather, to avoid going backwards too awful much). I have tentative dinners for next week planned so just need BF's input on breakfast and lunch staples he's thinking and final approval on dinner ideas. I'll take it! Much better than last minute planning and missing ingredients because I was doing too many things at once

Previous Day's Comments2/10 - I've finally broke into the 170s. I thought I'd never see this weight. I'm feeling rather bloated - I had forgotten to log a couple things and then remembered this morning which put me well over on protein yesterday but carbs and fats were aligned. Saturday was "date night" with BF but it was more of a 'linner' than lunch or dinner which is likely the biggest culprit for the scale weight being so high. I'm back on track today with meals and snacks planned to put me right on track with macros today. I'll pre-plan tomorrow's later this afternoon or evening so I know what I'm eating for the day when I wake up and make things easier on myself in that regards. Busy full week of work and gym every morning. It's overcast and rainy - supposed to storm tomorrow. Hoping to squeeze in walks with the dogs outside every day if if schedules work out for me.
2/11 - I wasn't quite perfect yesterday on macros but I was pretty dang close and it shows. I woke up this morning feeling really heavy and bloated. After a good workout and getting through the worst of that heaviness/bloating after eating breakfast, I'm feeling better. Not perfect, but I'm glad there's improvement. We'll see what the scale says tomorrow. I went ahead and created a new workout plan for myself to start when coaching ends since Coach allowed me to continue the current plan for the last 3 weeks with her (last week, this week, next week). I also started doing some research into where maintenance should be and what a cut might look like so that I can start planning that out next week to be prepared for when coaching ends (1 week from this coming Sunday). The goal this evening (as well as every evening going forward) is to stay busy/mentally occupied enough to ward off boredom/emotional eating. I think I'm struggling most with it because BF is gone. Even when he was working late nights and didn't get home until just before I was going to bed, I didn't find myself struggling so bad with it. I think I'm more trying to replace his absence with food where on late nights I know he'll be coming home so there's no need to "replace" him if that makes sense. Just some thoughts after still struggling with this the last 2 nights.
2/12 - Dropping off a bit more which I'm very happy about! I'm really working hard to meet my bulking macros without going overboard in the evenings. I've managed to figure out if I leave myself one snack after dinner (which has been easy since breakfast has been quite filling when combined and perfectly staggered with my coffee) I'm less likely to be emotional about it and can simply enjoy the snack guilt-free since it's already pre-logged. Fortunately this is the last week without BF for awhile so I think I'll be good to go in the future. All meals and snacks logged for today and gym done. Feeling pretty good.
2/13 - I'm not quite sure. I hit my water goal of 100oz or more, was right on macro goals, and hit my step goal for the day. Bodies are weird. I do feel a bit bloated so there's something I ate that is causing this. Oh well, trusting the process and it'll all work out eventually. Gym this morning went well and food is all planned out for the day. I work tomorrow but I'll need to figure out breakfast, lunch, and dinner to hit my goals and ensure the Man has a good homemade meal to eat when he gets home. I'll have to pre-plan that tonight. Still need to sit down and plan out next week's meals as much as possible so the Man and I can discuss in the evening to get a grocery list together for Saturday morning. Hopefully I'll have some motivation after work today to do so.

02/12-195.6-(Trend Weight: 194.4)-
02/13-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- I have Zero Interest in hearing what the scale has to say today after travel yesterday and the inability to take my Lasix because of it. I was already feeling pretty fluffy and today it feels worse. Today I will focus on healthy eating. I got all the groceries before being snowed in. Schools are closed and there is no way I can get out of my driveway until the plow guy makes it my way. I’m still thinking/dreaming about my mini-goal of a 10 pound loss by my birthday May 10th. I stated my goal while weighing 195.7. Therefore, My goal is 185.7. That is pretty close to my normal goal in my other MFP challenges of a 4 lb loss per month, especially with February being a short month. So it’s do-able if I focus, comply, take it seriously, believe in myself and give it the full 100% effort and respect it deserves. T-minus ??? and counting.
02/14-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- No-weigh Friday. I’m planning an excellent day. Yesterday was a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. Today I’ll plan a 10 and be happy if I fail and only get a 9. I still didn’t get a chance to take my Lasix medication yesterday due to so much jetting about town on errands. I hope to take it today but it probably won’t be until after 1:00 due to some morning errands. I do a lot of running/Ace Hardware for the contractors. I’m supposed to take it daily but it’s difficult when you have to leave the house. Ankles and tummy are definitely swollen and fluffy. Praying for strength today in my eating plan! Proud I managed 13 minutes on the exercise bike yesterday. Feels like starting over with my exercise abilities and I guess it is. I haven’t been serious about it since Thanksgiving. Time to get up off my *kitten* and get busy! After being plummeted with snow the last couple of days, our town is hunkering down for another snowstorm expected all day Saturday and all day Sunday. I am getting a little calorie burn on lately helping my son shovel. We have a major sidewalk system outside although a plow comes and does the long driveway. Winter has been exhausting but beautiful.

Ten Days Round 287
I've made it through a full round. Yay Me! Round 286 ended at 149.2lbs, down 3.0lbs for the round. I'm hoping this downward trend continues.
My goals are the same until the habit sticks.
Daily I will weigh myself; record everything I eat & drink; and post to stay mindful of good habits.
It will be hard to keep up over the coming ten days. Some days I'll have no scale but I can still record and post. Eating out always creates guess work.
"No mercy and no excuses!"
A woman with long term weight loss success posted this to a message board I once visited daily. Words to live by!
- I'll use what ever scale is available.
- I'll do my best to record accurately.
- I'll post even if I can't weigh, and/ or heaven forbid I fail to record everything.
Wishing SUCCESS to us all! 🙂

2/10 - Up 0.8lbs, well within my three pounds fluctuation zone. What irks me is leaving the 140s in the wrong direction. Humph 😤
2/11 - Ugh, up another 2.0.lbs. My fluctuation zone is under threat because I'm retaining water. Too many carbs and not enough protein.
2/12 - I've been analog for a few days.
Logging in was not possible but I managed my tasks the old fashioned way.

Post: No online access. Written manually and input when possible. ✓
2/13 - Day 2 analog but I managed once again. This is where I usually lose track and disappear. I'm using a simple solution to stay on task.
Weigh: I much prefer the last weigh in carried forward. This 6lb increase was measured on the doctor's scale in full Winter dress down to over the knee boots with block heels. Weight of 158lbs I rebuke you! ✓

Fell off the challenge bandwagon in round 256, managed to keep losing weight until June 12th when I hit 155.9 (70.7 kg). I fell off the weight loss wagon shortly after. Decided to start back up the day before Round 278 started.
SW Rnd 287: 147.9 (67.1 kg)
2/10- 147.5 (66.9 kg) I feel like I'm reaching the point in my journey where the paper towel effect is really starting to set in. Sometimes I slip into being discouraged about how long it's taken me to get here, versus celebrating how far I've come.
2/11- 147.7 (67 kg)- We had the sirloin we picked up at Costco during the Superbowl for dinner last night. Tonight, Sister Act popped up as a suggested watch. Haven't seen it in years, so I'm settled in for a night of nostalgia.
2/12- 146.6 (66.5 kg) I know I didn't lose 1.1 pounds of fat overnight but nice to see a new low on the scale this morning. I had my biannual rheumatology check up this afternoon and even weighing with clothes on I was still under 150. The doctor remarked on my weight loss and after confirming it was intentional good weight loss was very happy for me. In fact, he had to reduce my medication dose because of it.
2/13- 146.8 (66.6 kg) Husband's back home tonight. It's a travel heavy month for him. We don't celebrate Valentine's Day, but we did go out tonight and beat the crowds.
2/14- 146.1 (66.3 kg) Within calories today. I'm starting to learn I need to eat smaller portions of heavy dinners. Calorie wise, the lasagna I had slotted into my goals nicely, but similar to my burger a couple weeks ago, my stomach feels uncomfortably full after the fact. Also, I woke up feeling like I have a minor cold, so my energy is sapped. Good excuse to sleep in tomorrow.

02/13 175.4 Yikes!!! I ate a giant family share size of peanut m&ms while driving in the car. I have been the perpetrator of car binges many, many times but it’s been a long while since I’ve committed this crime.
In order to do this I had actually buy this giant bag of m&ms. I stopped to grab a water and the devil on my shoulder lifted up my arm and gleefully grabbed the biggest bag of m&ms I’d ever seen.
I had a bunch of errands so I drove around eating them by the handful. Almost like I was getting rid of the evidence. Like they didn’t count if they were in the car.
Other than that I had a great good day 😂. lol it’s like my food addiction is just determined to remind me that it’s never going away.
I’m annoyed about it but not feeling bad about myself, that’s a win!
Determined to make today a better day.
Yep, my food addiction frequently reminds me too !!

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 287(my 216th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.
So here we go again, I’m just keeping plugging away! New round, taking something forward from @Chapter_3 (yet again) if I may "We should be strategically engaged with our lives each day, right?! That’s my word… ENGAGED." " I will try to keep that word ENGAGED in my mind over these new 10 days & also remember that I am the driver of my life & not the passenger. My goal for this round is to get back to 139s. I need to be diligent as only 3-5 days per round staying on the waggon is not sufficient to get me back to where I want to be & then relaxing for the last 2/3 is not acceptable! I want to stay strong, walk the walk as well as talk the talk! & make the round a successful one. So, goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies – I am not a shark or even a piranha!
• to weigh less at the end of the round than the start
• be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end
I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.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 target of 130 = 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.
Updated 20.08.24 – I met up with youngest DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info 😞. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available.
This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to overindulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 66 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so I must not jeopardize that luck.

I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life.
2/9 141.8 (trend 142.2) 8.66 miles walked. 2.8 pounds lost this round which sounds good, BUT, last round I gained 3, still not back to end of round 284 weight; so no congrats. due! Just got to keep going. At least I can say that I have had 10 solid days this round, need to do the same again next. I do feel that SW allows me way too many carbs, so I’m going to restrict these next round.

2/10 140.8 (trend 142) 6.22 miles walked. DH drove us for just over 2 hours to the coast, had a good few hours there walking along the prom. had a jacket potato with baked beans & cheese before driving home, it was good to see the sea & taste the salty air 😊.
2/11 142.2 (trend 142) 9.47 miles walked.
2/12 143 (trend 142.2) 8.52 miles walked.
2/13 142.4 (trend 142.2) no structured walking, child minding little DGD.
2/14 143 (trend 142.3) 10.84 miles walked.
2/15 143.6 (trend 142.5) no structured walking drove up to Sheffield to childmind older DGD on her inset day from school, took her to wall climbing session, out to lunch & then valentine day cookie baking. Time to turn this ship round!

Expecting a hard round, from experience these last 3 lbs are hard to shift!

4 days of the same weight but a nice drop today! -.6lb. Just 2.6lb left to my maintenance goal but if it comes off reasonably easy i might drop my maintenance weight 2 or 3lb. Love to make it to the 170's, not been there since i was in my 20s!!

No idea where that came from!
2/13 187.2lb⬆️ Steps3,036❌️ Calories❌️
Demotivated after a .6lb gain .... So i decided to have a day off! 200 calories over maintenance, 7,000 steps under target. And there is the price! 2lb
It will now take me 3 days to get rid of it!🤣
2/14 186.8lb⬇️Steps12,530✅️ Calories✅️
No more pity party! Straight back on it.
For anyone wondering how i gained 2lb with 200 calories the answer is carbs! I eat a low carb diet and had loads that day! So it's just water!

Isn't it strange how water weight goes on instantly then takes 4 days to come off! Anyone got any tips for losing carb water faster?

02/15 DNW If I’m smart I will use my no weigh weekend to try and stop the disaster of this week. Yesterday was a mess with food. I’m not feeling confident in myself but I’m going to try to fake it until I make it.
I know once I get a good workout in I’ll feel less emotional. I’m taking a young friend to the movies today and I haven’t decided my stance on popcorn yet.
I know that I can gain 5lbs in a weekend, a real 5lbs not just bloat so I know I should be trying to actively prevent that from happening. No popcorn would be smart. Maybe I can grab a thing of blueberries or grapes to snack on.
I really hope that a good work out and some coffee gets my head back in the game. I don’t feel confident to make good choices today.4 -
My third round this year and hoping to build on progress made in the last round. Ended the last round on 62.1.
Mon 10 62.1 👍 trend ⬇️ No loss today, actual weight and trend weight are the same
Tue 11 62.1. Trend ⬇️. Same weight 3 days in a row but at least it’s not a gain. Trend is now ahead of the scale.
Wed 12 61.8 😊. Trend ⬇️
Thu 13 61.8 Trend ⬇️
Fri 14 💕🍾💕. 62.3 😡. Trend ⬇️. I think yesterday’s meal was rather salty. Valentines meal and fizz tonight so not sure what tomorrow will bring!
Sat 15. 61.9 trend ⬇️. That’s better especially considering the extra calories from yesterday’s celebrations. No more alcohol this round!
