64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 192 ( my 124th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.

Goal this round is just to lose, I want my Commonwealth Volunteer uniform to feel a little less “snug” ! No binges, keep within calories & macros.

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

I am counting & weighing everything so I will trust that will happen soon! See you next round.

OSW: 186 (March 2018)
Maintenance: 140-145 (December 2018)
My 153rd Round!

I’ve let stress derail the past few years of maintaining my weight around 145. The past few months I’ve been inching up above my maintenance weight of 145 and I am now fully 6 lbs. over. I can feel it in my clothes. I’ve been here before many years ago and if I don’t stop it now, I’ll be back to 186-188 lbs. The only way for me to be successful is to meticulously track my food and stay engaged with this challenge.

Good luck to all of you this round!

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

Big rains here yesterday—7+ inches in some areas. Our lovely tulip tree, planted 3 years ago, is leaning on the fence. 😢 We have someone coming out to see if they can pull it up and stake it. I hope so! Other than that we have no damage, but lots of trees down, power outages, and flooding in the area. I did eat ice cream to sooth myself last night.

7/07 - 179.8
Good day yesterday, foodwise. And Rory passed his Advanced Canine Good Citizen test. Today’s the last day of doggy school until August, although we’ll still be meeting a couple of friends for tracking. It’s great exercise—lots of walking on uneven ground—and fun! I have lots of salad makings for lunch.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/6 175.2 I’m not exactly sure what is going on here in my body. I’ve been sitting basically still (or a little worse) really for a little over 3 months. I had lost almost 20 pounds over the previous 7 months, but am having trouble finding my groove again. I certainly don’t want to gain that weight back, again, so I have to figure out how to get my act together. I'm going to try to share my weight graph so you can see exactly what I'm talking about (moved it above into a Spoiler). I'm limited in activity by bad knees (see an ortho dr today, actually) but I was during the loss period too, so that is no excuse. I'm not looking for "hugs" but sharing my frustration in hopes of gaining more gumption to do the things I know it takes to get the graph to go down. Thanks for listening. Best wishes to all of us this round!

7/7 173.6 Progress in more than just the numbers! I drank at least 10 cups of water yesterday and focused on going back to eating the things that helped me lose the weight last year, and of course, tracking them. But I’m a realist and know that I won’t get drops like this very often. Dr. told me I need two knee replacements yesterday, which I kind of suspected, but at 63 I think I’ll buy a little more time with injections for a while if they work. However, that does give me more incentive to lose another 15 pounds or so—to make that recovery easier when the time comes. I also started doing a seated upper body weights workout before bed last night. I’ll need some upper body strength for those surgeries. That felt really good and I felt like I'd added something really good for me when I was done.

7/05: 219 ending weight last round…

7/6: 219
/stretching, spinning and walking/
Let’s see if I can do something I am not ashamed of this round. Round 191 ended with my highest average on record since starting JGM10D. And this is the time of year I usually do better because of outdoor activities! I MUST do better than just phoning-it-in this round!

It starts today with no dipping into the office snack stock-pile.

By the way, this is exactly why I participate in this daily activity. Without this my health would be a sad story…

It is going to feel good!

7/7: 217
/nada/ Yesterday was a day full of meetings. I avoided the office stock-pile of snacks, so I have that going for me, I guess.

Starting tomorrow, I will be on a three day weekend family (wife’s) reunion on Lake Geneva Wisconsin. Organizers said that everyone should bring a sweet and a salty snack for our evening get-togethers. The conference center we are staying at has buffet style meals. I will try to avoid snaccidents. I will weigh in tomorrow, but not Saturday or Sunday without a scale. Searching for NSV’s.

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.

@_JeffreyD_ How about taking some watermelon, berries, fruit for the sweet and something like Skinny Pop White Cheddar popcorn or Kettle Corn (140 calories for 2.5 cups) for the salty. For the fruit, I fill a big bowl full of berries, cut-up apples, etc., and mix a very small amount of honey and lemon juice to taste (preserves the fruit), and stir it into the fruit. It's a very popular item at parties. You can munch (mostly) on your own snacks!

Day/Weight/Comment
7/6: 142 - after several weeks of pretty consistent 16:8 IF while eating whatever I wanted, I have not lost any weight, so I decided I need an additional tool/more accountability.
tracked ✅
Exercised ❌
Fasted 16 hours ✅

7/7: 140.8 - Yesterday was my first day tracking in a looooong time and it was really helpful to see how all the little things add up. Wednesday was also a tough start day for me because we always eat out on Wednesdays, but I did my best to keep track. I went over my calories but I’m not beating myself up for it, just proud of keeping track of it.

7/06 - 155.9
7/07 - 153.7 - Some TMI movement, TOM has finally left me alone, and now it's just me, food, exercise, and bloat to fight it out. I was absolutely exhausted this morning when my 6am alarm went off so I slept until work alarm at 7. Realized I only have Sunday to rest and relax so taking today to sleep in a bit more is worth it. Starting back next week, I have no choice but to get up and get moving at 6. Roast tonight with potatoes, carrots, and celery since I was able to salvage that from the broken freezer. Since I know we'll be eating from home, I can also take the pup for a walk after dinner and once it's cooled to get some activity in. Also knowing dinner, I can plan better for lunch. Attempting to fast as long as I can. I did put collagen protein in my coffee to help with the transition back into fasting. 1/2 serving is 35 calories so not a TRUE fast, but it's small enough and will help hold off on solid foods.

Previous Day's Comments

7/06 - TOM is kicking my behind with the bloat this time around. I don't look or feel as bloated, though, but it's definitely the bloat-squish. Also finally got some TMI movement going again, but it was after weigh-in and drinking a ton of water so will wait until tomorrow to see if it helped the scale. Did wake up at the time I usually do to take BigBro to work and got a walk with the pup (1.77mi, 30 minutes. Wildlife still out roaming so she was challenging to handle at times and I was much slower than I prefer. I also struggled to get up and moving which didn't help, but now I'm glad I did). Also got 5 minutes on the rower. It's been so long and with a lumbar fusion, I don't want to go to hard or long to start off and lock up all those muscles or get too much inflammation to pinch the damaged nerve. Did that once and not doing it again. Went until I felt the muscles begin to work and tighten up, then stopped. It's been about a half hour and I'm feeling a little soreness, but no pain, which is what I aimed for. I'll work up slowly to more time/distance eventually! Did find out last night that our upright freezer isn't quite staying cold enough. Think SOME things are frozen solid, but much of it isn't, including what we pulled out for dinner last night. Ended up eating out because we didn't have anything else to make. Luckily, yesterday there were still some 4th of July sales going on and purchased a new freezer to get delivered next week (scheduled Tuesday, we'll see if that holds). Will try to sort things out today during breaks and store what's still frozen solid in the kitchen refrigerator/freezer until the new one arrives.

Day/Weight/Comment

6/26: 174.4 i will keep accepting these lower weights my scale is spitting out, just as i will accept the higher ones when it decides to tell the truth. maybe it's all my fault, and i should change the batteries? I forgot to mention my failures that have occurred since vacation. i am ashamed to say i have had a set back in my quitting smoking. i know that i will have to get that under control as well as my eating habits. i have also failed in my walking. i will need to get motivated and include that also. i have emotional stress in my life right now, which i see an end to in the future but that will take a few months. my weeks vacation visiting with family was nothing but smiles and laughter. driving home my failures began, and i realized i must do something besides diet and exercise for myself. i will continue to recognize my failures, but i will not beat myself up over them. a slow and steady path in the right direction is what i have chosen.

6/27: 174.4 i looked up how many calories i should be eating if i am sedentary and oh lordy lordy they're really trying to starve people! i did my check in yesterday and "whoop whoop" my neck is 1/2 in thinner! wow! was that a good feeling! i still haven't gotten back to my walks outside. i did spend 3 hours walking in a circle around my livingroom yesterday, and i think i am going to start calling the time i struggle with the dog to take her medicine "my cardio workout".

6/28: 174.8 OK scale... i must weigh 174.(something). my calories were good, my macros were good. my exercise was non-existant. aaarrrgggh, i thought getting back to exercising would be easier than this.

6/29: 174 changed the batteries in my scale, and my weight remained about the same. i'm owing my scale an apology now for accusing it of lying to me. my calorie intake was super low yesterday, i wasn't feeling very hungry. maybe it was because of the migraine lurking to attack me last night, but it's almost noon time today and i still have no appetite. i was thinking earlier how great this group is. no one is judgmental and everyone so supportive. it's excellent therapy without the giant price tag.

6/30: 173.6 another day of too low intake, but again great macros. i forced myself to go for my walk yesterday. 1.9mi @3mph. when i got home i was questioning my sanity. 2 weeks without walking, last night felt like a nightmare, but i'm sure it'll get better again. i am trying to do my walks 3-4 times a week.

7/: 172.4 calorie intake was at "sustain" level, so i'm shocked to see this loss. macros pretty good.

7/2: 174.0 calories were good. it had rained all day, so i never went on my walk. weighed myself in the afternoon, after already eating. today i will be hooking up with my sister and her family. we are going to a dinner theatre so i am expecting a gain for tomorrow.

7/3: 175.4 that's a huge move in the wrong direction. i went 700 calories over my allowed amount yesterday... shameful. i will be going on a cruise in 2 weeks, i am already anticipating the work i will have to do when i get back from that.

7/4: 173.6 of course there's a cookout today. it shouldn't be much of a problem through

7/5: 173.8 yes, i went over my calories again, 545 this time. if i could have gotten some walking in like i swore i would get back to things wouldn't be so bad. unfortunate for me, it's been nothing but rain and looks like continued rain for about another week.

@deepwoodslady LOVE Harriet and Pebbles! Where did you get your catio from? I think my 4 would love something like that.

@wakegrrl It is actually a 5x10 dog kennel. You can buy them at tractor supply and other places like that. Probably even home depot has the pieces. I found mine on Facebook marketplace for $200.00. I am getting an oversized dog house with flat roof for litter box so rain can't get in. (Flat roof is just another place for them to lay!) I'll add hammocks I can make, perches out of plywood pieces. Lots of color. going for boho. I'll even plant a corner of that weed grass they like to chew on. I'll get some patio cushions (probably from facebook) and maybe an outdoor patio rug I can cut up to line some of that plywood. Lots of ideas!
