5’5 female in 50’s.
OSW - 187. Sept. 2017
GW - 140

9/9-170 Walked 4 miles in the morning, some with the dogs and the rest with the horse, then rode. Came home and put the patio furniture together.
9/10-170-Woke up at 3 a.m.; could not sleep so I went in the sewing room. Too tired later to walk, quick trip to the horse then back for a zoom meeting and spend most of the rest of the day doing computer work. Popcorn for a snack a drink at dinner.
9/11-170-Walked 3 miles but snacked while up late sewing. It’s finally cooling off and hopefully can walk after dinner. Have a good weekend everyone.🌸

Day/Weight/Comment
09/08 …..187.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
09/09 …..188.8 ….. (trend weight 187.9) A gain overnight. It tasted like cookies but it was really the past week of well problems over & over and no water, travel, medical issues related to prior cancer that is still unresolved and the death in my extended family. Emotional eating and stress is real! Today I travel again for two CT scans. One of the liver, one of the lung. This is not a routine set of tests. There are issues that are being checked and/or rechecked. Things have been found and we need to get to the bottom of it. Travel for me means a lot of inactivity and restaurant dinner. I may skip posting my weight tomorrow (which I have never done) because I just can’t take anymore stress or pressure. I’ll post and read, but no weight! Well company coming back tomorrow. Maybe some resolution but I’m skeptical because they have already been here a couple of weeks ago. I am going to try to pull myself together tomorrow and start weighing myself again on Saturday. I just can’t take anymore bad news! In regards to those cookies, I promise it was not 1.2 pounds worth. Scale is all over the place!

09/10 …..DNW ….. (trend weight DNW) CT scans were easy yesterday. 3 large cups of contrast dye an hour prior. No results yet, of course. I had to stop my diabetes medication Wednesday night and I can’t resume taking until Sunday morning. I guess that forces me to really watch what I am eating although it didn’t stop me yesterday during travel. Today really needs to be a good day.

09/14 …..189.2 ….. (trend weight 188.3) Okay, I guess I expected as much after travel. Good news on the CT scan results…..liver lesions are benign cycts. Lung nodule has grown again both in length and width but they still feel it is not a fast enough growth from CT scan to CT scan rechecks to merit a biopsy or to suspect cancer. They will continue (as they have done since 2019) to monitor it every 6 months with follow-up CT scans. Yay! Now, to get through the real worry next week on the 16th. What does the breast surgeon recommend for my unusual skin changes on the breast which could be a pre-cursor to a very aggressive breast cancer metasteses? We will know soon…… I am planning a lazy day today as I am mentally exhausted. However, if I push myself hard enough I may just fit in a few short walks and some dancing. BTW, well company never showed up yesterday. WTH?

check out @fmfdfa2020 's sign off at the bottom of her posts. I really like this thinking.

"If I quit now, I'll soon be back where I started. And when I started, I so desperately wanted to be where I am now!
There is no going back! NOT THIS TIME!"

Elbee1

4’9” petite-sm. boned female. 59 yrs
Ultimate goal: 98 lbs (subject to change)
SW (starting over--May 24, 2021): 160.3

I started mfp on 2/20/11 at 160.2 lbs.
My lowest weight on mfp was 140 lbs in 11/2013 and 5/2014.
My highest weight ever: 168+ (and I wasn't even pregnant at that time... ) That was in 12/2016.
Just for the record used to be an athlete a long, long time ago. Used to teach Aerobics and Step Aerobics. Used to LOVE exercise.
Nowadays, I don't exercise at all. Why, oh why not? How can I go from loving exercise and doing tons of exercise to nothing at all?
Going from low blood pressure to being on medication for high blood pressure. What have I done to myself?!

Round 162 Goals: Go to bed earlier & get up earlier. Drink at least 40 oz of water. Add in exercise. Stick with menu plans as closely as possible even if my day gets changed up... and plan every day, if at all possible.

Do your best and it will happen!

9/9 158 did well with diet & exercise, yesterday.
9/10 156.8 Very stressful day, yesterday. Had wreck on the way to work. I'm ok, but was kinda in shock & couldn't think straight & couldn't keep from shaking. Finally was able to take a picture of other cars license plate. Lady ran stop sign & rear ended me pretty hard. I didn't even think to tell the police that she ran the stop sign & then moved her car back after she hit me. Lady said she moved it to get it out of traffic... First wreck in 17 years... when someone else ran a stop sign & t-boned my vehicle. That was a worse wreck than than this one. Also, I had woken up about 3 or 4 in the morning with a terrible migraine. Work was also very stressful, yesterday.
9/11 156.8 I know it will catch up with me. I had a binge last night. Another very stressful day, yesterday... work was bad stress & also got a call from the SNF that my Dad is in. Dad bleeding internally so he was sent to the Hospital ER. He's responsive & stable, they just can't handle this type of issue at the SNF.

Previous days

9/9 117.6 Breakfast was Trader Joe’s Paneer Chicken Masala with a cut up apple and peach. Not sure why but it sounded good for breakfast and was a decent amount of protein too. We have to pick my husbands car up tonight which makes planning dinner a little more complicated, so I’m not sure what dinner will be tonight. I kind of just want roasted veggies with some sort of protein.
9/10 117.6 Went for a 3 mile run this morning. Ended up eating scallion pancakes and some crab Rangoon for dinner last night because my husband wanted Chinese. I originally wasn’t going to get it but then I decided to for whatever reason. I’m back on track today though and plan on using up the week’s csa veggies and produce over the course of the weekend.

9/11 Did not weigh today. Woke up this morning and ended up going for a 7 mile walk/hike with my husband at a nearby conservation area. It was really nice to start the day off that way. Now I have the afternoon/over night to my self in Boston while I dog sit my cousin’s two English bull dogs. I love them to pieces and are one of my favorite types of dogs because they’re like the dog version of a cat in terms of energy 😊. Here’s a picture of them living their best life.

9/11 210 After a day on antibiotics due to tooth pain, I got in for an eval with an endodontist, who is going to re-treat a two year old root canal, but can't schedule me in until Oct 6th. Suddenly, my concern about weight loss shifted to pain control! I was exhausted after driving to the big town with an endo since my brother who I'm visiting lives out in the boonies. Sleep & rest are restorative.

OSW: 186 (March 2018)
Maintenance: 140-145 (December 2018)

My 123rd Round!

Still trying to get back down to maintenance. It's really surprising how the extra 3 to 4 pounds I've been carrying the past few months has changed how my clothes fit and how I feel. I've had just enough stress to snack too much and not be mindful of getting back to maintenance. Things are looking up for my family health wise, so it's now time to focus back on my health.

Being overweight is hard.
Maintaining a healthy weight is hard.
Choose your hard.

After losing 12 lbs. I was stuck at 174lbs. for a couple weeks until I found this challenge.

Round 162 - thanks for these 10 day challenges, they are great!

Original SW 223.1 - GW 165
Round 161 end weight 221.7

09/09 219.9 - More functional fitness, walking and a plank or two:)
09/10 218.6 - Did some walking, gardening, hula hooping and a plank.
09/11 218.9 - More walking, gardening and a plank but a tad too many carbs. Forgot to post yesterday but
getting in early today as working an afternoon shift today. Thinking of all Americans today.
09/12 219.1 - Up a tad, could be salt from the seafood chowder, which was yum!! Have been walking up the hills
plus the occasional plank. I started a new exercise game today called Pokemon Golf where I
smashed some golf balls off the deck trying to reach across the gully and then I went and hunted
for them. So much fun but need to get a lot more golf balls. I don't play golf so had a few extra
swings trying to hit the ball

I'm in! Thank you, @quiltingjaine ! I like early, too!

71 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion... ...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.

Kicked the uneven sidewalk...landed on my face...messed up my right knee, calf and ankle. No walking for a while.
