We love the east coast. It is only a two day drive, so have visited 20+ times over 28 years of camping. Both of my daughters went to university in Nova Scotia. My eldest daughter has stayed in Halifax. Fundy National Park is one of my favourite places in the country.

Re the internet in the cruise —> I’m ‘too Canadian’ to pay extra for something like that. It was included in our fare on our Alaskan cruise. Take a digital break and be present during your trip.

Yes, it is a drink. Or as @Crochetluvr mentioned, glucose pouches which you can buy online or at pharmacies. Family members of mine with diabetes will drink a Coke, or have a sugar cube. All work quickly. Food does not work quickly, it takes a very long time and when a drop occurs there isn't time. Maybe get something in the house to have there just in case? I think that the pouches that our friend here mentioned are ideal, but she would know better, having diabetes.

Hi : - )

I am Dawn. I will turn 65 this round. I have changed my eating habits over time. I basically eat half of the amount that I used to, and have limited eating Ribs to once every 3 months instead of once per week.

Week 1 Start Weight: 137.8

Week 1 Goal: 136.8

Week 1 Actual Weight: 140.8 - Exactly a 3 pound gain : - (

Week 6 Start Weight: 136.8

Week 6 Goal: 135.2 (my weight 4 days before my birthday)

Week 6 Actual Weight: 136.6 - Once per 3 month Ribs eaten

Day 43—10/04 — 135.4 - Waitress walking is sure not like walking in cottage country, my legs and hips and knees are sore today from the concrete. I'm sure that I will get back used to it. It is going to be quite awhile until I catch up financially, no income generated since September 7th. There are "blocks" of shifts available to bid on at the LTC place (Joseph Creek) but they coincide with my first job, so I couldn't take them. It would have been $1k sigh. Working a split shift today, so I plan to harvest any green beans that are ready during my break.

Day 44—10/05 — 135.4 - I feel like I have just worked 7 days and it has only been 2 lol. I have a straight through shift instead of a split today, so am working on packing up some food to take. I don't eat much, but I do eat frequently. A sliced up apple eaten with a fork will last me a couple of hours, having a piece here and there as I walk by the staff table. I made potato salad last night to take, and I cut up a big belle pepper from my garden also to munch on. Trying to get back to the yoghurt and granola thing, I haven't had that since before my trip. I put some in a container to take to work today too.

Day 45—10/06 — 135.4 - Holding steady. Wifi was out this morning and I managed to get it fixed. Rushing now to get to work.

Thoughts at the start of this round:

This round will be challenging as it includes the U.S. holidays of Labor Day, Halloween and Thanksgiving. All are big foodie or party and dessert type holidays in the U.S. There are also multiple birthday celebrations in my family. In addition, there will be a lot of travel which is traditional in the fall for me as I try to avoid as many icy driving trips as possible in the winter months. There will be lots of doctor appointments away from home as well as Christmas and gift-giving shopping in this round. I will have to make sure I stay on top of my plan in every moment I can and to make the necessary corrections every time the scale goes up. We can’t control the ingredients in restaurant food so portion control will be key when away from home. I will again aim for a 10 pound loss this round. Thanks for sharing your journey with me and allowing me to share mine. I am grateful for you all.

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

CURRENT WEEK:

Day 43—10/04— 186.0 ❌ (Trend Weight: 184.2)

Day 44—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!

🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 Day 45—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! I started October at 183 which is 2 lbs less than today. I’m not going to chase my tail but I may play a bit of Limbo. “How low can you go?”. Well, I know I can go lower, I’ve just got to be smart about it and make all good choices today. That’s the plan!

So nice getting out with friends.
I find as I’m getting older that my body doesn’t react well to alcohol. I know the better choice is to avoid it completely. But I enjoy it when I do have it. It’s a balancing act.

tinathescreamer · October 7

Day 36—09/27— 138.5 lb. See - just a little more effort in the bathroom before hopping on the scale!!!

Day 37—09/28— 138.6 lb.

Day 38—09/29— 138.4 lb.

Day 39—09/30— DNW. I bought a digital kitchen scale at the Sally Army - only $3. The idea is to weigh my food so I can get a more accurate calorie count, rather than just listing eg one bread roll, without an idea of whether it's the same size as the one I'm eating.

Day 40—10/01— 138 lb. Only 4 lb to go!

Day 41—10/02— 137 lb. Jeepers!!! how did that happen so fast? now I'm wondering if the scale is completely accurate - maybe it shifted position or something? I think I may have to wait to see how much I weigh next time I'm at the doctor. Her scale will likely be more accurate than mine (she does take off a couple of pounds for clothing).

Day 42—10/03— 136.8 lb. I've been feeling somewhat under the weather for the last couple of days, and this morning I woke up with a heavy cold. So I haven't been exercising much this week, but my appetite is low as well - hence the loss of weight, I guess.

So I stayed home and finished knitting a baby blanket - once I gift it, that will be over 2 pounds of yarn gone from my stash.

Week 6 Start Weight: 139 lb

Week 6 Goal: Started off by dropping 0.5 lb overnight, so will aim for sustaining that loss. Any further reduction will be a bonus.

Week 6 Actual Weight: 136.8 lb. Wow! beat goal by 2.2 lbs - albeit not in the best way. I suspect my appetite will return next week, and there may be some overeating……

Day 43—10/04— 136.7 lb.

Day 44—10/05— 136.5 lb. feeling unwell today, so mostly stayed in bed, just sipping water. Felt better around dinner time, but not up to cooking much. So I just microwaved a sweet potato and sprinkled on some grated cheese. It was very good and very filling.

Day 45—10/06— 136 lb. Feeling a little better today, but when I went outside to put the recyling out for collection, the cold wind caught my chest badly, and I was coughing for quite a while after. Ate quite a lot of fruit, which also turned out to be Not.The.Best.Idea.

Day 46—10/07— 136.1 lb. Thanks to all who offered good wishes for my recovery. Feeling stronger today, and the sun was shining brightly, so went out and did a little shopping. I did have a scheduled lunch date in town, but cancelled as I don't want to spread germs.

My reply:

@age_is_just_a_number so which state or province are you in? 2 day drive is not that far neighbor!! 👋😃 looks like you seen a lot of my corner of the world with your family!! Cool!

Internet: it drive me nuts to think I won’t have the internet to post on challenges. I am really addicted to theses. Plus those challenges I really need on my health journey…

But TRUE, a digital break would be nice!!! (And with saying this, I realize: break is needed when i talk like this!!!). Addicted to cell phone is not a good thing!!

Taking into consideration: Digital Break!

Thanks for the info and share 💛

I’m in the greater Toronto area (GTA). Just north of the Toronto city limits.
We’ve camped all across Canada and parts of the US over the past 28 years. Much of it in a tent trailer (aka a pop-up) with 4 kids. The kids are all grown now and it is just the two of us and our giant dog.

Definitely digital break in order to combat phone addiction. We’ll be thinking about you. You can still note your food down and update MFP when you return.

I also find the reply/quote only works the first time on my phone. And the @ only works the first time, then I have to wait to get a second one in.

age_is_just_a_number · October 7

@JimnKC Nice overnight drop. I see your IN calories are hovering around 2000, that’s your magic number!!

plantpowered · October 7

Yesterday was a doozy. I didn't get home until late. I ended up having a very late, smallish, yet too salty dinner. That salt really showed up on the scale this morning.

I didn't do any exercise the past two Sundays. I was engrossed with some projects and time got away from me, but that's OK. Have a great day, everyone.

The good news is that you know the salt is just water retention. It will resolve itself in a day or two. Aside from that daily fluctuations are 100% normal.

age_is_just_a_number · October 7

@frankwbrown 4 days of drops in a row!! Woot woot! Keep up the consistency and you’re well on your way to beating your week target.

age_is_just_a_number · October 7

@tinathescreamer I’m sure your friends appreciate you thinking about their health. You’ll be able to meet up with them once you are fully feeling better. Glad you are starting to feel better.

age_is_just_a_number · October 7

good day yesterday. Met my IN target.
no traffic on our drive. Visited our youngest son for 2 hours in the afternoon. Spent most of that time outside kicking a soccer ball, on the trampoline, doing animal ‘walks’ (bear crawl, chimpanzee, etc). No meal with him, which means no excess calories.
Did a short walk with the dog after dinner.

Crochetluvr · October 7

Good Afternoon, Friends!

@JimnKC .....wow....what a WHOOSH! I am envious! Great work!

Day 43—10/04— 162.4 - Had a really nice breakfast out with a friend....that was basically my meal for the day.

Day 44—10/05— 162 - Stopped at the grocery store yesterday and picked up some yogurt and poblano peppers for the chili I have yet to make. Had some of the yogurt for breakfast this morning. Got another busy day ahead....cleaning and decorating for fall. Phillies lost, so I need something to cheer me up. Hoping the Eagles can help with that.

Day 45—10/06— 161.6 - Bad weekend for sports here. The only team that won was Temple...lol!

I thought all the exercise I had yesterday with working around the apartment would have helped with the weight, but not enough. Still have more to do today. Got all the furniture moved, though. Will probably have yogurt for breakfast and beef stew for lunch. Not sure about dinner....maybe a salad.

Day 46—10/07— 162 - Got most of my decorating done...just a few more things to put out. Need to set up a donation pickup so I can get those things out of here.

Had an Atkins shake for breakfast....will probably have leftover beef stew for lunch. Sandwich and small salad for dinner....I bought more canned tuna.

Phils lost again....I don't see them winning the next 3, but that's what they gotta do.

You have a giant dog! I want to know about your dog. I love big dogs and have known quite a few, newfies, king dobies, rotties, St. Bernard.

Hi : - )

I am Dawn. I will turn 65 this round. I have changed my eating habits over time. I basically eat half of the amount that I used to, and have limited eating Ribs to once every 3 months instead of once per week.

Week 1 Start Weight: 137.8

Week 1 Goal: 136.8

Week 1 Actual Weight: 140.8 - Exactly a 3 pound gain : - (

Week 2 Start Weight: 140.2

Week 2 Goal: 136.6 - ambitious I know

Week 2 Actual Weight: 137.6

Week 3 Start Weight: 137.6

Week 3 Goal: 135.6

Week 3 Actual Weight: 136.5

Week 4 Start Weight: 135.2

Week 4 Goal: 135.0

Week 4 Actual Weight: 136.0

Week 5 Start Weight: 136.0 - on my 65th birthday

Week 5 Goal: ~~135.0~~ 136.5

Week 5 Actual Weight: 136.2

Week 6 Start Weight: 136.8

Week 6 Goal: 135.2 (my weight 4 days before my birthday)

Week 6 Actual Weight: 136.6 - Once per 3 month Ribs eaten

Day 43—10/04 — 135.4 - Waitress walking is sure not like walking in cottage country, my legs and hips and knees are sore today from the concrete. I'm sure that I will get back used to it. It is going to be quite awhile until I catch up financially, no income generated since September 7th. There are "blocks" of shifts available to bid on at the LTC place (Joseph Creek) but they coincide with my first job, so I couldn't take them. It would have been $1k sigh. Working a split shift today, so I plan to harvest any green beans that are ready during my break.

Day 44—10/05 — 135.4 - I feel like I have just worked 7 days and it has only been 2 lol. I have a straight through shift instead of a split today, so am working on packing up some food to take. I don't eat much, but I do eat frequently. A sliced up apple eaten with a fork will last me a couple of hours, having a piece here and there as I walk by the staff table. I made potato salad last night to take, and I cut up a big belle pepper from my garden also to munch on. Trying to get back to the yoghurt and granola thing, I haven't had that since before my trip. I put some in a container to take to work today too.

Day 45—10/06 — 135.4 - Holding steady. Wifi was out this morning and I managed to get it fixed. Rushing now to get to work.

Day 46—10/07 — 135.6 - Slight uptick, but very late dinner. I expected to be off of work at 3pm and doing so many things that I need to do in my garden - I worked until 9pm because someone was sick. I took only one apple cut up and a big belle pepper cut up which is all that I ate until well after I got home, got cleaned up and into my pjs and finally had some dinner. Yes, I do carry extra stuff in my work bag, granola bars, rice cakes and peanut butter etc. It was very busy and I was grateful for the extra hours. My one day off today. I will get out in the yard this afternoon once it warms up a bit. Sunny and blue here this morning, but the sun hasn't fully hit my backyard just yet.

Round #24---

Thoughts at the start of this round:

This round will be challenging as it includes the U.S. holidays of Labor Day, Halloween and Thanksgiving. All are big foodie or party and dessert type holidays in the U.S. There are also multiple birthday celebrations in my family. In addition, there will be a lot of travel which is traditional in the fall for me as I try to avoid as many icy driving trips as possible in the winter months. There will be lots of doctor appointments away from home as well as Christmas and gift-giving shopping in this round. I will have to make sure I stay on top of my plan in every moment I can and to make the necessary corrections every time the scale goes up. We can’t control the ingredients in restaurant food so portion control will be key when away from home. I will again aim for a 10 pound loss this round. Thanks for sharing your journey with me and allowing me to share mine. I am grateful for you all.

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

Day 45—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! I started October at 183 which is 2 lbs less than today. I’m not going to chase my tail but I may play a bit of Limbo. “How low can you go?”. Well, I know I can go lower, I’ve just got to be smart about it and make all good choices today. That’s the plan!

🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 Day 46—10/07— DNW ↔️ (Trend Weight: DNW) I’m in a real slump. Handyman is finally coming back today to hopefully start or plan a new project. Trying to pull it together here. I’ve been so busy between yard work and babysitting that the house is a mess and I have no energy to change that. I’m usually pretty tidy and organized so this is uncharacteristic of me. It’s probably crash & burn sugar responses with those foods I am not even supposed to eat. Standing in my truth today no matter how difficult the reflection is. See you all tomorrow.

We have a 125lbs Newfoundland. She turned 2 in August. She is finally settling into a nice Newf. She’s black with white paws, a paint dipped tail and a white stripe down her chest and belly. I’ve included a couple of pictures from our camping trip a few weeks ago.
She is not our first Newf. They are such gentle giants, once you have a Newf, there really isn’t another bread that will do; except maybe another giant bread, like a Saint Bernard.
