9/20-172-Insanely busy week last week, no time for exercise and was on my feet most of the time. Got all of the laundry done yesterday and cooked extra food that’s healthy. It shouldn’t be to hot today, so I should be able to fit everything in...we’ll see!

9/19 228 (+.4) Bounce from my Friday indulgence meal. Today I’m hiking with my sister and will really focus on getting my water. I’m expecting the scale to start moving back down in the next day or two. 

9/20 227.2 (-.4) Hiking was wonderful, yesterday. It was beautiful and I’m seeing improvement in my endurance. We’ve knocked off several minutes per mile since starting back in early July. I’ve been hungry lately so will plan to eat every 3-4 hours to keep me from eating things I shouldn’t. Definitely got all my water in yesterday.

Really good run yesterday, pushed the pace super hard! Today is supposed to be a Rest Day, but have a strength workout to make-up that I skipped on Thursday. The scale has stalled at 163 since the beginning of the last round but I can see body changes and clothes are fitting looser, so all is good!

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?!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/19 157 Wow! I already met my goal!
Well, if I can sustain this until the end of this round. I'll be happy. If I can get down to 156.6, I will be thrilled as that was what I was at in the middle of Round 162. I did follow food plan, yesterday, and drank my minimum of water. No exercise, tho.
9/20 157 Very stressed out to the point of shaking. Dad still in hospital... issues. Stuck with food plan yesterday. Drank 48 oz of water (above my minimum), No formal exercise, but did have over 11,000 steps yesterday.

9/19 202.3
9/20 202.3 I feel like I am fighting off stress with a club and I am losing the fight. I know I have to get my head together in order to lose weight and my head is not together right now. Maybe I should be working on maintenance instead of attempting to lose because right now I am so discouraged. Trauma is not something you just get over and I am trying to just get over it. I am still trying to watch my calories intake, I am still doing my workout routine. However cortisol (stress hormone) is a beast.

What a difference you've made in our lives!

@tiabirdie56 Tish, yes, that “friendship” is over. They do work together weekends at a bar (one of DGD’s 3 jobs while getting her Master’s.) I sent a thank you text to the security fellow who allowed her to use his personal cellphone to call her mother who called me. It was nerve wracking.

quiltingjaine

@eyesopennow Mike, I meant to welcome you back yesterday but my mind was otherwise occupied.

@chublet25 I’m not a “horse person” but I CAN appreciate a beautiful animal of any sort! Terror is gorgeous and doesn’t appear to be a terror at all.

@coblujay I urge you to read The Obesity Code by Jason Fung, MD regarding eating habits changing in the 1970s.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

9/19 118.0 Well yesterday turned out to be extremely stressful. 24 yo DGD’s 21 yo friend got drunk early on and after taking DGD’s phone and purposely dropping it and breaking it, decided to leave her and go with some random much older guy who offered to buy her a drink. So we drove to The Strip, picked up DGD and took her to the hotel to pick up her stuff and she spent the night with us. DGD changed her flight so she wouldn’t be forced to take a 3 hour drive with “friend.” I had one really watered down adult beverage late in the evening. Now her flight is delayed almost 2 hours. My stomach is in knots.
9/20 117.5 DGD finally got home, after late boarding they spent almost an hour on the taxiway waiting to take off.

Previous days

9/19 116.8 Back up and I can feel the water retention in my face even though yesterday wasn’t a super salty day. I think it’s just where I’m at cycle wise. So later this week will be the real tell of where my weight is at if I don’t have take out for the next week or so. It was nice to see the 115 range again even for just a moment. I plan on doing some sort of meal planning today for the week. I think that has been a bit of the problem with dinners lately, is that I don’t have plans until the day of. So, I want to try and fix that.

9/20 116.8 Went for a run this morning for the first time in a week and it felt great. My muscle that was weird last week still feels tight but at least there isn’t pain. I’ve just been more aware of actively stretching throughout the day to help it. Food was solid yesterday until my husband wanted ColdStone’s ice cream…That was rough calorie wise but I think I hit a wall with the ice cream and don’t think I’ll want it again for a while. I think it also made me sleep horribly from all the sugar. I can’t be sure of that but at least it’s one more reason not to have it again for a while.
2 eggs and bakery bread for breakfast, dolma’s for lunch with fruit and yogurt as a dessert, and leftover baked eggplant for dinner with high fiber pasta. CSA pick up tonight, so I’ll be stocking the fridge with all sorts of produce today.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

🍄🍁🍄🍂 SEPTEMBER 🍂🍄🍁🍄
🍄🍁🍂🍁🍄🍁🍄🍁🍂🍁🍄

I was after an elusive 85 lbs loss 😂 but 83 will do me fine. (Now 84 😁)
• In Maintenance for over 2 years.
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal range

Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessarily. People are still dying out there………
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
September focus:

• maintain weight < 150 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
• Work on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale

I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
Aims:

2021 Focus:

• Maintain weight < 150
• Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
• Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
• Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy

Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:

• 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
• 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
• 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
• That's a WIN in my book!
  
• 2021
• Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
  
• (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
• A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
• Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
• The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
• Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
• The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
• When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
• Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Day/Weight/Comment Hello folks, it's me again.
The goal is to lose 4 lbs this period.

9/19 170 - It was Sunday-Funday. No calories will be counted.

9/20 170 - Cals 793/ Agua 34 oz/ Exercise - Jogged on tread. Slow and steady at 1.5. 30
minutes. I really had to think about my calories and what I ate. I can mindlessly eat
over 2,000 calories a day. I usually mess up when the pressure is on, long days and
just being tired. I'll try to do the same tomorrow as I did today.

Round 163 (95th for me) . I still need this to help keep me on track, particularly over the next weeks; the second of our holiday!
@QuiltingJaine- thank you yet again for setting up the new round.

Challenge for this round is to stay on track – we are on our main 2 weeks holiday, no flying abroad this year (due to Covid), we are in our touring caravan, so for the major part I am responsible for both choosing & providing food, so hope to come back at least the same as SW, a loss will be a bonus – any loss will be a win! But still aware we are on holiday so will be indulging in an occasional treat – note to self “an occasional treat” !! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” 2 months ago, but remember there is still a pandemic: Covid is still around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, always consider others.
Spoiler

9/18 133.6 - that's better! I don't think it would hang about! 12.5 miles walked yesterday. Pleased with ending weight of the round lower than start weight and considering holiday and anniversary, it's a win!

SW
Day/weight/comment
9/19. 133.6 - Just short of 6 miles walked yesterday hence167 calories over yesterday.; It was Heritage Bus day in the local holiday town so we took a vintage bus ride round the Devon countryside.
9/20. 133.6 - no structured walking yesterday, moved along the coast to Dartmouth, so with packing up, travelling, seeing up again & then doing washing (towels needed freshening up - so used the washing machine & dryers on site), the day ran out of hours!! Ended the day with 400 calories over.
9/21. 134 - 9.5 miles walked yesterday along the coastal path to Dartmouth Castle then along the river and a big climb up Jawbone Hill back to the caravan park. Good food day too 👏.

@musicsax I love reading about your walks! We're so blessed in the UK with our coastal paths, you can walk almost the entire periphery of the country on public right of way pathways and our coastline is absolutely stunning! I do most of my walking holidays a little bit further west than where you are, in east Dorset and south Devon. Pembrokeshire is brilliant too but windy!

Plans:
🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, strength training, 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; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
9/19 203.4 Walked 4 miles, 1792 cal, 115 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.
NSV . My high waisted jeans slipped over my hips without unzipping … so bought 2 new pairs of jeans in a size smaller. WIN!
9/20 202.5 Walked 3.4 + 1 miles, 1899 cal, 246 net carbs, AF. Up a few times during the night and finally turned on coffee at 3am this morning. Feeling a lot of stress but also coughing a ton. Hope whatever ails me shakes loose soon.
9/21 202.7 Walked 2.4 miles, 1380 cal, 129 net carbs, AF. Definitely not feeling well yesterday. Took two 2 hr naps, hot tea, cough drops, meds, and skipped book club in the evening.
