    I know, but they don’t get my heart rate up like intentional exercise does.

    Day 45—10/06: 222.6 – back on track

    Day 46—10/07: DNW – up super early for a quick cardio workout before a doctor’s apt.

    Day 47—10/08: 220.0 – did a cardio/weights workout & stretch, I always feel so good once I get a couple of days in, stronger and more energetic. Maybe by the end of the week I’ll break even to where I was.

    Day 48—10/09: 219.2 – good to see the water whoosh is continuing, did a standing pilates workout & stretch this morning. Now to troubleshoot computer issues, ugh!

    Day 49—10/10: 219.0 – Did a cardio workout & stretch with my sister before she hit the road – feeling very locked in knowing she’ll be keeping me accountable!

    Week 7 Loss or Gain: -3.6 pounds

    Cumulative loss: 6 pounds.

    Week 7 Actual Weight:

    Day 50—10/11: 218.2 – did a longer cardio/weights workout & stretch. Definitely feeling more locked in than I have in a long time!

    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 7 Goal: 134.8

    Week 7 Actual Weight: 136.0

    Day 50—10/11 — 135.8 - The show last night was amazing. Highly recommended if they come near you. Kalabante Cirque Afrique. Music, dancing, acrobatics, humour, audience engagement. I will try to find a video or something to post here. Tight for time this morning. Split shift, and I have lots to do to get the rest my garlic in and get the leaves raked to put on top before the temps drop dramatically tomorrow. Snow is in the forecast.

    Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 3lbs lost

    Day 51—10/12 — 136.8 - Up an entire pound somehow. Food was good and lots of exercise. Split shift today. It is 4c and looks like it rained last night. Garlic is all planted, leaves are 6" on top. All that is left in the garden now is carrots in 2 locations, and beets in 2 locations. They are fine, once it went to minus 20 and I thought that I would lose my beets, but I googled and it only makes them sweeter, so once it warmed enough to dig (it was a temporary cold snap) I harvested and they were delicious. I don't like to pull those things until I am ready to peel and process, because especially the beets' skins get soft after about 24 hours and are too hard to peel. I don't like the cook then peel method, I lose too much of their deep ruby colour which I love.

    What is your conditional formatting for the weight columns. I see ups and downs throughout the list. Why are they all red?

    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!

    CURRENT WEEK:

    🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 Day 51—10/12—181.8 ✅ (Trend Weight: 184.2) Wow, nice whoosh. The last time I weighed 181.8 was on Aug 31st for one day only. Then I promptly shot back up to 188 within 48 hours! This is the week in which my original running weekly goal would hit the 170’s for the 1st time this round. It’s nice to be this close again as it makes me hopeful that I can get there. In the words of Paul Anka….”So close…So Close and yet so far.” (To the younger folks out there, he’s a singer and that’s in one of his songs). In the words of another great old song, “Hang on Sloopy, Sloopy hang on!”

    Hi. I’m an unretired (by choice) senior from central B.C., Canada. Back for another round. Am an absolute turtle at losing and a hare at backsliding! This round my hope it to hang on to each loss then move down from there. Put an end to this eternal yo-yoing.

    “You don’t have to throw a pass down the whole length of the field to score a touchdown. You can get there one yard at a time.”

    Week 1: 175.2 -> 175.8

    Week 2: 178.4 Lunch @ A &W yesterday

    Week 3: 175.8 **started The Livy Method, Sept 8th @ 177 .6

    Week 4: 175

    Week 5: 174.2

    Week 6: 174.2

    Week 7: 172.6

    Week 8:

    Day 50 ~ 10/11: 172.8 Worked afternoon shift; foot is sore so it’s a struggle. Hubby remains unwell so picking up ‘his jobs’ too. Focus of Livy program for this week is ‘downsizing’ the amount we eat; leave a bit of food uneaten. This’s really messing with my serenity. Realizing that the fear of being hungry is stemming from the JOY I feel when I don’t have the urge to eat in the evening. My fear is now that I’m running a bit hungry I’ll start ‘mindless evening grazing’. Happened a bit last night but only finished half of Rice Krispies, almond milk and banana. Did indulge in 8 small crackers with butter. I’m not doing very well with including “healthy fats” into my meals.

    Halfway Progress Report: 1 week before this challenge started I was 179.4

    Start of this challenge: 175.2 so down 3.4; so happy the wild 3 to 4 lb bounce has stopped.

    Day 51 ~ 10/12: 171.8 My focus of today is to ask the 4 Mindful questions, “Am I hungry?” “Is there enough food on my plate?” “How will I feel if I eat all the food? “How do I feel 15 minutes after meal is finished?” Focus is level of satisfaction we feel, often satisfied with less food than I dish up. Notice I’ve easily shifted to using a smaller plate ( used to resist doing this). Since starting this plan my servings have slowly shrunk, so downsizing this week is really being noticed. Also have easily shifted away from the heavier carbs like potatoes etc. Also finding that glass of wine isn’t as important; perhaps this is because of the fear of its triggering cravings.

    Day 52 ~ 10/13:

    Day 53 ~ 10/14:

    Day 54 ~ 10/15:

    Day 55 ~ 10/16:

    Howdy, Friends! Would you believe I wrote this and forgot to post it?? My brain sometimes.....🙄

    @deepwoodslady , NICE! You will be in the 170's very soon now.

    Day 50—10/11— 161 - Not a huge loss this half, but I will take any loss as a win.

    Didn't have breakfast. Will have my homemade chili for lunch….looking forward to that. Spent yesterday afternoon in the kitchen fussing over it.

    It's a gloomy weekend here with the Nor'easter. But at least it's not hot anymore.

    Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 1.6

    Day 51—10/12— 161 - Had more chili and fresh raspberries for lunch but forgot to take my meds so my blood sugar is elevated for the moment. I stopped at the (no longer the) Dollar Store to look for glass plates for a craft project, but they only had ceramic. I did leave with 3 solar-powered light up pumpkins 🎃 though.
