You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

Female, 5’3”, 60
2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021)
GW: <200 in 2020 BMI 35.2
UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese

My goal for 2021 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
5/22 205.6 Walked 4.6 miles, 2006 cal, 133 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Dinner at Central Market Cooking School - lobster sliders, crab appetizer, scallops with spinach & shiitake mushrooms. Nice delayed mother’s day with the kids.
5/23 206.4 Walked 1.6 miles, 1557 cal, 136 net carbs, AF. DH is joining me on this journey again. Pancakes for breakfast? Could that make such a jump in the scale?
5/24 205.2 No exercise, 1457 cal, 93 net carbs, AF. Really yummy chicken salad (mayo, dijon, dill, parsley, green onion, garlic) for lunch then lettuce wrap burger with turnip fries for dinner. Loving that I’m planning menus again to try new things!
5/25 205.1 Walked 1 + 1 + 1 miles between rain storms (jogged 1/2 mile in the rain to return home during the first walk), 2120 cal, 155 net carbs, AF. Lots of snacking in the afternoon … I was tired after waking up too early this morning and should have taken a nap.

5/25 - 147.1 - I'm alright with slow, so long as it keeps going down.... Only fasted 14.5 hours, but I was very hungry. Considering I only had a "snack" for dinner the night before, it makes perfect sense and I was alright with cutting my fast short. Today will be better since dinner was so early. Homemade chicken alfredo with homemade garlic bread (well, I bought the bread, but made it into garlic bread.... Didn't have time to make my own bread). 90 oz water down the hatch! Today is supposed to be cloudy, but no rain so I'm going to try to take the pup for a walk later.

Previous Day's Comments

5/22 - Expected with a late dinner, not a big deal. Fasted 15.5 hours, 60oz water. Not ideal. Behind on water today as well since we went out to the land trying to beat the rain (didn't work, starting downpouring as soon as we made it out there). Hoping catch up on that, though may not be able to hit the full 90 today. Also had McDonald's for lunch since I hadn't eaten yet and it was a bit of a rush to get out the door once BF was up and moving and didn't want to waste precious time cooking. His idea, but I WAS hungry. Oh well, dinner is steak and figuring out sides between us now (I'm definitely making veggies).
5/23 - Sodium? BF made homemade beef lo mein and although I bought the low sodium stuff, who knows how much salt he added. Didn't taste salty at all. Suppose it could be DOMS, too. I'm feeling super sore in glutes and hammies. Was over calories by 200, but still in slight deficit. Fasted 17.5 hours, ended up drinking the full 90oz after all.
5/24 - I'm actually shocked by this. Ended up eating out yesterday for lunch since we were searching for a part in the next town over. Put me way over calories and only ended up having a snack for dinner. I wasn't too hungry anyway. Fasted 15.5 hours, drank 90oz water.

5/10: 183.1 (just 2 pounds off my heaviest weight ever)

Round 151
Goals: 80oz water each day; row 30 mins 7 of 10 days; eat vegetables/fruit; 1200 to 1500 calories; IF most days; no sugar - and if I do all these things, I hope to be back into the 170's!

5/22 - 181.4
5/23 - 180.2 - I've been hanging out at 181 for long enough. It was time for a drop. Looks promising to hit 170's this round!
5/24 - 180.0 - The scale was messing with me this morning when it blinked for a second on 179.9, but settled on 180.0 - I'll take it!
5/25 - 179.1 - Goodbye 180's!!

weight lost round 150: 3 pounds

goal for round 151: 190

5/22: 192.0 (walked/hiked over 2 hours yesterday; learned the hard way that ticks can survive a shampoo; raining today but still plan to do day 2 week 1 of C25k)
5/23 - 192.0 (got medium walk in this morning before the rain returned)
5/24 - 191.5 (sunshine at last! Woods walk in my afternoon! Ordered a new sleeping bag for my little camping adventures, as my old holofill bag from the late 1980s seems to have lost its warmth. I can't go too far because I have horses and poultry, dogs and cats, and nobody I trust to look after them in my absence. But I have found several very nice little camping spots within 1-2 hour's walk of my place, and the rest of my backpacking gear is awesome.)
5/25 - 191.0 (brilliant day out there; off on another long walk today; cool + sunny + breezy = no blackflies (hopefully); repeating week 1 of C25k and it was actually easier than it was last week when I started it; I think it's a good idea if I take my time with this; Delila the hen is determined to hatch out a nest though I keep removing the eggs; as the three roosters are her brothers and her father, I think it's probably a bad idea and I don't need more roosters and I don't eat eggs so it's just a bad all-round idea, as I keep explaining to her)

Round 150
Month/Day: Exercise / Comment

5/22: 210.4
5/23: 210.6
5/24: 212.4
My first time in front of the google-box since last Friday. So, I have the three days to report here. What you see is a testimony to the care-free weekend I had.

Business lunch out Friday; Out for dinner Friday night with neighbors to thank them for mowing the yard while we were on vacation. All of it a salt and oil fest. Saturday was a day without any thought given to correcting Friday’s wrongs. Sunday was a nice family get together after more than a year of no-contact. Dad cooked on the grill (ribs, salmon) and everyone brought their standards. I was waving the white flag from my recliner before bedtime.

Speaking of recliner, that was my perch for watching the Formula-1 race, the PGA golf tournament, and the Cubs in-10 over the Cardinals. So much for exercise. And, it might be TMI to tell you just about everything I ate is still being carried around like cargo.

There, I confessed it all. Time to buckle down for the week.

5/25: 210.8
Kept things down to a dull roar yesterday calorie-wise. The thing I notice is how crummy I feel after an indulgent weekend. Food for thought. Pardon the pun (not really a pun.)

On another note, has anyone else noticed the spike in cost for certain things? I am doing to basement remodeling, and the cost of wood is through the roof. Painter tells me paint is affected.

@Kirk_mfp (feel free to add me!)
40s male, 6'0"
SW: 300.2 pounds
GW: 210.0 pounds

My approach: Move and lift more, keep track of my food, and drink lots of water.

5/22: 300.2 - Newbie here. And holy cow, this is the heaviest I've ever been. Not only have I gained unnecessary weight, but I haven't been accomplishing things inside and outside the home like I have in the past. The garage is turning into a disaster, dishes piling up, etc. Today is the day I turn around and actively update the foods I eat and the exercises I do. My favorite quote for the day: “Most things in life are not so difficult. You just have to work to keep them simple. If you’re truly determined, there is no limit to what you can accomplish.”
5/23: 298.6 - Down 1.6 pounds. Water weight for sure but I'll take any win. I stuck with eating veggies, chicken, and some other meats. I was craving something sugary and carby around 6pm and I must admit, it was a struggle. I was able to do a lot of things around the house like install shower doors and clean throughout the house, just like I was hoping. Things are looking positive and I'm excited for that.
5/24: 296.0 - Down 2.6 pounds. I'm still going strong as far as eating low carbs and sticking with meat and salad. I did get the chills in the middle of the night for a few hours and wonder if that's having to do with sugar with-drawls (the keto flu). Also I'm taking a gout pill here and there, just in case my body feels that protein shock. Gout in the foot is no fun for sure. Well, it's another work week and I plan on sipping on unsweetened almond milk throughout each day and then having a good dinner.
5/25: 295.0 - Down 1.0 pound. Another work day completed at the office. Lots of water had been consumed, lots of good healthy foods too. That was the first evening I haven't felt like chowing down on chips. I haven't exercised yet but maybe that'll wait. We'll see. My focus is on "calories in" right now.

5/23-167-More digging in the yard. Helped DH clean out a trench. Later I met with my card club and I kept getting leg craps and had to stand up; it was funny..all from yard work. I sprouted a bunch of flower seeds this spring and will get to transplant them into my pollinator garden in front of my sewing room windows today!

Day/Weight/Comment

5/22: 176.7 So happy it is the weekend! On tap for today is a run outside before it gets to hot (going to hit the 90s today for the 1st time this year) + need to make up a strength session I missed earlier in the week. Hoping to also be AF all weekend but we'll see how that goes.

5/23:176.5 Really good run yesterday, felt strong during it and it's been a while since that has happened, so think I might be finally getting back to good running form! Right after my run when to work in the garden for over an hour right when the heat was rising. I had water with me to sip but by the time I was finished I was worn out by the heat, so just took it easy the rest of the day. Today is a planned recovery today, so will be foam rolling & stretching only.

5/24:176.3 Nice family day to end the weekend yesterday. I had meal planned for the day and pre-logged the dinner recipe I was making but then my daughter had a really trying time over a school assignment that wasn't going well, so we scratched that plan and went out to pick up a pizza to give her a little boost. I kept myself to 2 pieces & am happy that I can enjoy something in moderation now that before could cause a binge. Busy day today, but need to make myself a priority and get my run in on my lunch hour.

5/25: 176.3 Super hungry after my run yesterday, so went a little bit over calories for dinner. Not too worried about that. Felt a little calf issue on my run yesterday and now this morning when I woke up, so need to make sure there is time for foam rolling today before my workout. It's a cross training day, not sure what I want to do yet. But thinking maybe yoga, so should be a lighter calorie day as well.

Previous days

5/22 Ended up having Chinese food for dinner last night but didn’t gorge myself on it. Had a dinner combo of a few chicken fingers, 3 crab Rangoon, 2 beef teriyaki and about a cup of rice. We ate early last night and I woke up not feeling puffy, so I’m feeling ok about it. Today has been a touch better too, I had a yogurt with fresh pineapple for breakfast, spinach and a left over tikka masala chicken thigh plus a sticky rice dessert with mango for lunch (because my husband wanted Thai for his breakfast today and sticky rice sounded good), and dinner will be a chopped salad with CSA asparagus, radishes, cucumber, carrots and 2 oz of local feta cheese. We’re going to a soccer game tonight, so I plan on getting a soft pretzel for a snack at half time too (that’s why my dinner is only a salad). Looking forward to not over doing it this weekend!
5/23 Did not post. Had a good day though.
5/24 117.4 It’s always so interesting to see how weight can shift so much. Woke up feeling good this morning and did 30 minutes on the spin bike and plan on going for a walk at lunch too. Yesterday was decent food wise and my husband and I went for a walk at a local nature reservation area/wildlife sanctuary. This morning, I made pancakes from a buckwheat pancake mix…I’m realizing that pancakes are not a good work day breakfast because now I’m feeling sleepy from the pancakes I think. Dinner tonight will be left over Italian lamb meat balls with whole wheat spaghetti, tomato sauce and spinach on the side/or mixed in with pasta.
Yesterday I ordered two new bathing suits for our vacation at the end of June… when they arrive, I want to leave them out in plain sight to remind myself of a reason to stay on track. Getting to 114 before the end of June would be fantastic but not sure how realistic that is for me. We shall see. For me, I think it would take not getting any take out on the weekends and being super diligent…

5/25 117.2 This 117 number is sticking around due to where I am in my cycle. Started my day with a 3 mile run and felt really good afterwards. I plan on going for my walk later today as well. Tacos are on the agenda for dinner tonight with a radish and carrot slaw to go on top.

I've been gone about ten rounds I think. It took me awhile to find you folks again but I'm trying to get back here as often as possible.

I've reset my start weight to the beginning of 2021 after seeing how stagnant I've been over the last few years. Actual YEARS of no real progress is simply shameful.

My mini goals NEED to include scale victories. Everything else goes hand in hand with the scale.

@_JeffreyD_ I haven’t personally had experience with the price of wood but DD#1 and her DH are having a house built in OK and have mentioned it. I don’t know if that is why THEY stained the outside, painted the interior and hauled away construction trash themselves to save $$, but that is my assumption.
