I’m back, ready to go.

Goals for the rest of 2025

Eat mindfully. 🍎
Regain regular exercise habit beyond gardening. Walk! 👟
Check in here daily. ✏️

Weight end of last round — R279, October 30, 2024– 194.9

Date, Trend Weight, Comments

09/28 — 199.7
Ok, up a wee bit, but that’s ok. Off we go!

09/29 — 199.7
Now I remember why I don’t like weighing every day. 😊 I did stick to my calorie limit yesterday, and met my walking goal.

09/30 — 199.4
Another good day yesterday.

10/01 — 198.7
This is good—I’m feeling empowered to do something about these stupid pounds. My actual weigh in this morning was 197.2, which I wanted to post, but in the long run I know I’ll be happier posting my trend weights. I used to walk 5-8 miles almost every day but got out of the habit. I’m trying now to rebuild my walking muscle, and even just 3 days in, I see improvement. All good!

10/02 — 198.7
I had a little snack slide last night—that’s a backslide involving a snack. Not too bad calorie wise, but I’m trying to stop the late-night snack habit. I also skipped my walk due to horrible runny nose and watery eyes. I’m not sure if it’s a bad allergy attack or a cold. Oh, well, I’ll get back with it today.

10/03 — 198.6
Still coughing and blowing yesterday, so I skipped my walk, but did do some garden work and ate responsibly. Creeping downward.

10/04 — 198.6
Off for lunch with a friend—Panera Bread half salad for me. I’ve been doing better with my snack habit, and getting more exercise. Who’s a good girl?

10/05 — 198.3
I’m surprised the scale went down today—I wasn’t terrible yesterday, but did go over my goals. I’ll take it!

10/06 — 198.3
Whew—the weekend was full of temptations, but I did ok. I can’t believe this round is almost over!

63yo | 5’3” | ret choir teach | MW USA | Celiac | MFP 07.31.25 | HW 191.1

My goals: Healthy GF 🥗| 5 fruits & veggies/day | UGW 160 🎯 | ✈️🌎| +mobility/-pain 💪

Rnd 304 | SW: 188.6 | EW: 185.1 (-3.6)

Rnd 305 | SW: 184.9 | EW: 182.9 (-2.0) | TWL: 5.7

Rnd 310 | SW: 178.9 | EWG: 176.8 🎯

9/28: 178.9 😏I’m pleased that I’m only +0.3lbs because we ate out late…plus I had steak! 😋Today is tie-up-loose-ends day—TULE Day. 🤣Planning meals for the week is one of those tasks. Hmmm…🤔

9/29: 178.3 😊📉Not much movement yesterday due to a lot of planning.

9/30: 179.7 🤨📈Late night leftover lasagna for dinner. Need I say more? At least it’s gone. No more left. What made it worse was that I had walked almost 2 mi and had a bunch of burned calories from gardening. Whatever. I know it’s going to come back off. Tap class today. I’m going to tap my tootsies off!!!💃

10/1: 179.4 📉Should have been less, but at least it’s down.

10/2: 180.0📈🤨Yesterday was a non-stop day with late-night eating along with a cocktail. No doubt this is what I’m seeing on the scale.Fortunately, I exercised a lot that morning or it would have been much worse. 🤷‍♀️

10/3: 179.4 📉After a walk and lots of other stuff. With the exercise from yesterday, I expected more. I’m thinking my calories may have been more than I estimated. It’s so hard to figure nutritional values when you eat out and the restaurant doesn’t give you any info. 🤷‍♀️

On a good note: I made Chicken Cacciatore tonight with some chicken breasts I cooked up and have ready to go. I froze the rest so I always have something on hand. One of our go-to meals is to chop up chicken breast and douse with Frank’s Red Hot sauce for a Buffalo wrap. I usually have all the other stuff to throw in the wrap. The next thing I did was make hummus with lentils instead of chickpeas. First time for that as well. We will have some dip for veggies now.

10/4: 179.0 📉😏Getting there.

10/5: 179.1 😏 Went to the Renaissance Festival yesterday. Lots of walking but not cardio…except hiking between the car and the park. 🤣 Had street tacos that were healthy. Everything else had gluten, so I didn’t have anything else.

10/6: 178.8 📉 Busy day of lessons. Maybe I’ll tap a little. 🤷‍♀️ I’m definitely not going to make my goal this round.

10/04-186.0 ❌ (Trend Weight: 184.2)

10/05-186.0 ↔️ (Trend Weight: 184.4) A pretty good day yesterday. 3 hours of raking leaves but this time I made sure I had a small carby and calorie dense meal/snack before beginning so that it would keep up with the exertion. It didn’t allow me to take advantage of the calorie burn but it did keep me from another glucose drop and feeding frenzy. Anyhoo, fridge was fixed. It had ice build up in the fan due to the back panel being loose. No $$$ for parts and free labor from son so I finally got a $$$ break. Have a great Sunday everyone!

🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 10/06-185.0 ✅ (Trend Weight: 184.5) I just couldn’t seem to get full yesterday although my meals were planned and typical. Just one of those days that happen from time to time. I got thru it with no slip-ups. Whew! I hope today is easier! There is no way I will even reach my starting weight this round, but I’ll play a little limbo and see how low I can go. I will make all good choices today!

10/07-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

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

I’m Amanda, 5’2” 40F in Appalachian Virginia.

Non-scale goals (tracked for prior day):

🏃🏻‍♀️ Intentional movement 7/10 days

🚫 No alcohol 7/10 days

📝 Track 5/10 days

SW Rnd 310 - 132.0

RGW - 129.6 (hoping I’m retaining some water but we’ll see)

9/28 - 131.6 🏃🏻‍♀️Have to work harder this round and act like I’m actually trying to get healthier. Yesterday I co-hosted a baby shower for a friend and of course overindulged, but it could have been worse. I made good choices for lunch at least to offset some of the damage. DH and DSs had an adventure last night. They were at a scout campout when there was storming and heavy rain. There was a flash flood warning and they all packed up in the dark and rain. Thankfully everyone was safe and home around 9!

9/29 - 132.4 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫 Not pleased with this number. Today is going to have to be a tracking day for me, as closely as I can anyway. DH is doing the cooking tonight and I’m not off to the best start, but hopefully I can right the ship.

9/30 - 129.6 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫📝 Very happy about this! Apparently there’s something to drinking all that water we’re supposed to consume. Really moved things through the system. I also tracked for the first time in a while, and though I went over, knowing I was going to track it stopped me from being too excessive. The only issue I had is that I drank my water too late (or at least it unlocked my retained water too late) and I had to pee twice in the night. Will try to get it in earlier today. I’m off today and both kids are in school for the morning. Going to start by walking the dogs and figuring out with chores I’m going to do. Once I figure that out and lift weights it will be time to pick up the 4yo!

10/1 - 128.2 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫📝 Pleasantly surprised with this number! Proud of myself for tracking two days in a row - an achievement I have not unlocked since I rejoined these challenges! Now to continue the trajectory. I’m subbing this morning so will have to neglect DS for a little while to get my strength training in this afternoon, but at least the workouts are short.

10/2 - 128.8 🏃🏻‍♀️📝 That’s a bit of correction from the low weight yesterday. All good!

10/3 - 129.0 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫📝 Being up a bit before heading into the weekend isn’t ideal, but I guess I’m still below my RGW so it could be worse. Not totally sure why I’m up but I’ll just stay the course for now. I wound up having a really active day with a dog walk, weight training, e-biking my kid around, and then a K-pop Demon Hunters Peloton ride I couldn’t resist! Going to the local university’s homecoming parade and out to dinner tonight and a birthday party tomorrow. Social weekend ahead! Gotta keep it together.

10/4 - 128.6 🏃🏻‍♀️📝 Just had to go through and finish tracking my dinner so I could get my tracking emoji! Ended up having 2 beers at dinner so that one is unearned. Also planning to drink tonight but won’t go wild. Last night’s parade and fireworks were super fun! I’m pretty much taking a rest day today. I may walk the dogs or do yoga but mostly giving my muscles a rest after 5 days of lifting.

10/5 - 128.8 🏃🏻‍♀️

10/6 - 130.0 🚫 Welp, hoping I can get 0.4 back off today to meet my goal but I’m not sure I’ll be able to. Today will at least not be a challenging day. I ebiked the 4yo to and from daycare which isn’t a big calorie burner but more than sitting in the car for that distance. I also started the 4th week of my strength program this morning. I’m really loving it and am feeling at least some minor improvements since week 1! I planned dinners for the week but have to convince 4yo to go shopping with me this afternoon. I know I shouldn’t have to convince him and should just make him BUT when I drag him against his will it can be a nightmare.

I got a text from my former manager this morning about picking up a full time, remote contracting position. I’m torn and have to do a lot of introspection this week to see if it makes sense to take it and get 4yo back into full-time daycare.

10/6 231.2~ back to early weigh-in :). Not focused… sleep deprived. Lola's doing well at almost 6 hours each night but I just have a hard time falling back to sleep. The last couple of days I've taken a nap…. Felt great! Today will be a good day!! Already knocked out my 3 mile walk and I'm cooking dinner now so we should be able to eat and be done by 4 or 5.
10/7

@_JeffreyD_ Great pictures, thanks for sharing! Love the Charles Bridge, so beautiful

@deepwoodslady ~ sorry about the dental work needed, that is a pretty price tag, glad insurance is helping a bit.

@amymshipley5683 ~ Happy belated Birthday! Hope it was wonderful.

@Chapter_3 ~ Why are you considering leaving your club after 15 years? Love your explaination of the mental tug-of-war. The minute I deny myself, I've just set myself up for failure. It has been named and claimed and you're moving on ….bravo!!

@stephanj ~ All good, I'm a little behind as well. Trying to catch up.

@jrago47 ~ congrats on reaching a new decade and staying there over several days!! Kudos!

@musicsax ~ Oh what a nice surprise from your DH!

@Skyleen75 ~ Oh it is fall, cider donuts are evil! Glad the boat removal went well. I can understand the panic though.

@quiltingjaine ~ Happy to hear the vertigo is gone.

@SModa61 ~ Oh how frightful, how did the private aid simply not come, with no notice? I can't imagine your thoughts when you hear her saying help! Gives me chills. Glad she's ok, though and hopefully you are too.

@kristawatkins52 welcome back!

@pezhed ~ Good Luck with your decision. Tough one.
