R194 SW 199
I am newbie. I started MFP on the 25th - simultaneously starting a 3 month weight training/cardio training program. On the 25th I weighed 200, down from 204 roughly 10 days prior. I think the easy weight has been lost. We'll see.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/26: 131.6 - A little surprised by the slight drop. The day started with a lot of carbs as I was baking for an upcoming event. I was also super sleepy and tired in the afternoon, but did motivate myself enough to do both of my workouts. Dinner was a frittata to counteract all of the carbs.
7/27: 132.7 - Pizza night last night as well as some more baking to take to our new neighbors. Got my Jazzercise workout in but didn’t have much time for my normal walk other than a quick trip around the block.
7/28: 131.8 - Late workout and early-ish dinner and poor sleep. A few of my neighbor ladies and I have a crocheting get-together every week or so. Mostly it’s about the wine and the camaraderie since we’re all complete novices. We’re making the most expensive and ugly sweater!
7/29: 133.2 - Made fresh grilled salsa from tomatoes one of our neighbors gifted us. Since it contains no oil, all the calories are coming from the chips! Oh well. Got my workout in early, but had a little bit of evening snacking.
7/30: 132.9 - Late workout and late dinner. Slept well.
7/31: 132.9 - Went over a bit in calories as I wasn’t keeping track of my sampling during baking and we had take out. Got both my workouts in though and great sleep.
8/1: 132.9 - Lots of sourdough making yesterday - today we will see the fruits of the labor. Got my workout in as well as some deep cleaning in preparation for people coming over.
8/2: 133.8 - A carb-laden binge could not be overcome by two workouts.

7/24: 179.6 yes, all my work went out the window. I went on the cruise. i have wanted to go on one for 20 years, but work has stopped me. well, retirement opened opportunities and i planned my cruise. since my baby sister is turning 50 on 7/30, I invited her to go with me as a birthday gift. we were on Royal Caribbean, and visited roatan, costa maya, and cozumel (i have probably spelled every one of those city names incorrectly). i will begin keeping track of my calories again, and MUST go shopping to get healthier options in the house (the man is predictable with donuts and frozen dinners.)
7/25: 180.6 i've only been gone a week, and there's so much routine that has obviously slipped my mind. i forgot to do a morning weigh-in, so this mornings weight is after coffee and breakfast. i didn't drink enough water yesterday, need to get back to at least 8 glasses a day (hopefully more). i'm looking forward to my 173# again (even though that's not where near my goal weight)
SW: 179.2
Day/Weight/Comment
7/26: 179.2 puffy leg this morning. that's not new, and i think it may have reduced a little since yesterday. salt intake was high yesterday, i'll have to watch that. calories and macros were great! so many things to stay focused on.
7/27: 177.2 keeping up with the water is helping. leg is practically back to normal, just a little puff around the ankle. calories and macros were on point again, but sadly sodium was still a little high.
7/28: 175.8 i think all the water weight is gone... the rest is probably the actual weight i gained. i usually eat a slice of white bread w/peanut butter as a snack for the last thing i eat. it carries me through 'til breakfast. i messed up last night and missed my snack. ended up eating PB bread at 2am today, so calories will be over today, and were under yesterday.
7/29: 175.8 i'm actually quite happy to see this weight. my calories were excessive yesterday (as expected). I was sure to get my PB bread BEFORE going to bed last night. i will probably see a weight gain later in the week for my mess up.
7/30: 174.8 look at that! it says i'm down a pound. did really good with calories yesterday, macros were off. oh well, keep on moving in the right direction.
7/31: 173.4 my scale is just being deceitful again. i'll keep logging what it's spewing out, but don't believe a word of it.
8/1: 172.6
8/2: 172.2 not feeling my best this morning, so expecting a gain over the next few days. eating foods that will settle in my belly vs. counting calories. drinking ginger ale vs. water. got a little worried about covid since i just got back from the cruise, but took the rapid test, and got negative results. so, all i have to worry about will be added calories to my diet.

SW158.6 ✅Stayed Below SWPW: 156.3- Tues 8/02: 159; +2.7lbs
~ Clarifying my notes: ^^ this gain is the result of throwing caution to the wind for two days in a row(Sun-Mon); eating when I wasn’t hungry and then not tracking any of it
✅✅✅✅✅✅✅❌🔲🔲- 8/03
- 8/04
- Mon 8/01: ???
~ Afraid to look TBH!🫤 - Sun 7/31: 156.3; +.9lbs
~ I think I did very well considering they had a large platter of those Publix little Cubans at the poker game last night. Those are huge weakness for me! - Sat 7/30: 155.6; -0lbs ~ No comments/concerns, so I’ll use this time to make a to-do list. 🤔 To-Do(productive) List
- Run to Macys and JCPenney
- Order daughter’s senior pictures
- Run to the store for some emergency keto snacks
- Try to wrangle up Kyndall to purchase school clothes while it’s tax free week
- To be continued gotta go for now… Had to put a halt on my list for now. I couldn’t go to the mall because the crowds were so extreme.
- Fri 7/29: 155.6; -2.4lbs ~ not bad.. 🙂and kind of predictable since I know I’ve been recovering from my 2-day-sushi “event” earlier in the week. I’m not sure what’s in store for this weekend though. I am going to my monthly poker game on Saturday night and usually it’s a long night full of junk food so I hope I can refrain from going overboard with the salt and carbs! My actual birthday is on Monday so no big plans which is kind of a blessing in disguise. Every year I struggle to get back on the wagon when I’m faced with back to back celebrations.
- Thur 7/28: 158; +.9lbs ~ uh-oh.. mini-goal is coming up tomorrow… really needing to stay on point today!
- Wed 7/27: 157.1; -2.5lbs ~ and so the see-saw begins! I really am thankful for this and the GoT Challenge for pushing me back into the land of the living
- Tues 7/26: 159.6; +1lbs ~ Weekend temptations poured (more like crumbled) over to Monday. Family came over and played Jack in the Box and husband thought of a great idea to bring home Crumbl Cookies for everyone to try for the first time! It’s kind of like a specialty cupcake shop, but instead of cupcakes they create humongous cookies which need a small pie cutter to eat(which I ignored completely)

Goal for this round: To weigh less than when the round started.
Previous days
7/26 Started to post but then got distracted by something else.
7/27 125. Was 123ish when I weighed on Sunday. Started a new strength program (Thinner, Leaner, Stronger) after not lifting for about three weeks because of vacation and then getting back into the swing of things when we got home. I can at least say that me at 125 now feels a lot different than me at 125 two years ago. I definitely feel a bit swollen/sore from my body getting used to the routine but I know in a few weeks it’ll drop a bit. I’m also trying to maintain a slight deficit to slowly lose. My goal is to lower my body fat while building muscle, so this loss will probably be slower than I’d like to see.
On a personal note, I got the job as a lead that I had mentioned a month or two ago and my first day was Monday this week. I can already tell that I’m going to like it a lot! I also start a little later in the morning so I’m going to make it a point to post each day now that I have a little bit of time when I get home from the gym.
Ps. Sorry I’ve been so missing, life just got hectic with trying to wrap up the job and us going on vacation for a couple weeks. I did pop in from time to time just to read through the posts. I hope everyone has been doing well and enjoying their summer!
7/28 125 maybe less because this was after my protein shake. Worked out this morning. Today was a push day. I like how the 5 day split is a relatively quick workout too. It’s typically 4-5 exercises with 3 sets of 8-10 reps and then I add 20 minutes of cardio at the end and I still end up finishing in about an hour. For anyone interested Monday and Friday is lower body/leg day, Tuesday is upper body, Wednesday is a pull day (deadlifts plus 3 upper body/back exercises), Thursday is upper body/push day & abs (all upper body: shoulder press, chest press, triceps, and captain chair leg raises). At the end of I feel spent in a good way but not like I’m going to be dragging all day from it.
I’ve been starting each morning preworkout with a whey protein shake with 20 grams of protein and having a bit of fruit around 20 carbs worth. It’s either been blueberries, cherries, or dates depending on my mood. I find my workouts are a lot more enjoyable with some food in my stomach. Then I follow my workout with another 20 grams of protein and 50 grams worth of carbs. I then have a lunch consisting of some type of protein, veg and a small amount of fruit if I want something sweet. Then, dinner is some type of protein with veggies (sometimes starchy veg like corn on the cob) and/or salad. Although, last night we had cavatelli with sauce and meatballs and I also had a salad of fresh greens with an orange tomato plus a tablespoon of Trader Joe’s spicy peanut dressing (from the refrigerator section). I recently tried that dressing and it is so good! It’s only 70 calories for two tablespoons and it goes a long way because of how flavorful it is. I can’t wait to try it as a peanut noodle sauce with my fiber gourmet spaghetti for peanut noodles. Happy almost Friday!
7/29 Didn’t weigh this morning. Completed leg day and topped it off with a 10 minute stairmaster session. Had my protein shake with some dates preworkout and now sipping on the rest of my shake and pairing it with a smores probar because I’m in the mood for that. I’m looking forward to tonight because I’m meeting my coworkers from my previous program for dinner/drinks. It’ll be a slightly delayed send off for me 😊.
7/30 Did not post.
7/31 Took the weekend to rest. Watching my cousin’s bulldogs make it even easier because I just want to relax with them all the time. Yesterday’s food wasn’t the greatest because we had a family celebration for a cousin that won a community award recently, so my mother in law ordered a lot of Chinese food for the meal and had desserts I couldn’t resist. I ended up having small portions of everything and had a piece of cheesecake and cookie for dessert. The family thing was for lunch so I ended up just having a Greek yogurt for dinner because I wasn’t super hungry.
Breakfast this morning wasn’t great but I ended up having a few Hershey’s chocolates and I’m about to have Cracklin Oat Bran cereal. I’m not sure what lunch will be but dinner will be tacos with lettuce wraps for shells. I have a couple ears of corn left from our csa, so I’m going to make a corn salsa to top it.
My goal is to start feeling more comfortable sharing the mishaps of my meal plans because after 2 to 3 years of actively posting, I still hate sharing that certain days went awry. I can’t learn if I don’t acknowledge something in the first place, right?
8/1 124.5 estimated because I weighed after my workout which means there was already at least 16 ounces of water in me and 8ish ounces of protein shake and a few deglet dates so when I weighed it said 126.2. Today was leg day and it felt great after the two days of rest. I was able to go up in weight on all my exercises, which is always gratifying at the beginning of a new program!
Dinner last night ended up being air fried chicken tenders (Tyson, they’re a bit lower in cals than the regular freezer chicken tenders) and a piece of corn on the cob. Tacos in lettuce wraps are on the menu for dinner tonight though because I plan on cooking the ground beef concoction during my lunch today. It’s csa pick up day and with my day ending at 4:30 now, the csa pick up really pushes into when I’d normally start making dinner. So, my goal is to prep some part of dinner during my lunch on Mondays.
8/2 125ish. Not stressing about weight. Feeling good after my leg day yesterday. Today was a push day and I was able to go up in everything again, yay! Preworkout protein shake and peach and then a protein bar and a drinkable Chobani Greek yogurt for post workout/breakfast. Went into the office for a couple hours this morning so I wasn’t able to post earlier. Lunch was cantaloupe and a little bit of cottage cheese. Dinner tonight will be pizza/dinner with my in laws because we’re celebrating my father in law’s retirement. So I had a light lunch and plan to only have one or two slices of pizza. I just picked up our meat CSA and was able to restock the freezer with protein and got mostly lean cuts of meat, so I’ll be able to cook some a couple nights through the week to have for lunches. I’ve been finding lunch time comes around and I’m not sure what I want/haven’t planned for it. So, that’s my next goal: have easy to grab lunches.
Ps. The new role is continuing to go well and I’m really enjoying the switch/having new things to do within my role that I didn’t have before. 😊

Day/Weight/Comment
7/26 / DNW / Had a refreshing sleep. Up with my coffee now. Husband will pop out for our takeout breakfast soon from the cafe across the street. We have a special dinner tonight so I will likely only have the late breakfast and supper.
7/27 / DNW / Husband took us out for a special night last night so I did surpass my calories as we had a small lunch too (shared item) to bridge the gap between breakfast and supper. Today we have some wineries - it's going to be a hot one out there!
7/28 / DNW / This is the longest vacation I've been on since I started this journey and I can tell the multiple days of plans to eat out is starting to catch up with me. Made a few decisions today I'm not the happiest about but all I can do is learn from it and move on. We switch locations once more tomorrow and Sunday we fly home so I just want to savor every second of the next 72 hours!
7/29 / DNW
7/30 / DNW
7/31 / DNW / At the airport ready to fly home. Back on the scale tomorrow and then back to work Tuesday. Will be weird to get back to routine!
8/1 / 172.2 / Back home and it feels so good. We had a great trip but it's nice to be home as well. My gain this time wasn't as crazy as my Vegas trip and I'm sure about half of it is water weight. Back to routine! It's a warm day here but we'll get the dog out for a walk while she can still handle it. Hopefully I'll have time for other exercise too.
8/2 / 169.6 / First day back in the office after my holiday. Life gets right back to feeling hectic! Food was on track and I kept my exercise fairly light. Husband wanted a TV night and we don't do that often so it was nice.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 194 ( my 126th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round is just to lose, I want my Commonwealth Volunteer uniform to keep feeling a little less “snug” ! (3 shifts out of 10 completed !! ) 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/26 - 149 - I'm happy the weekend carbs haven't snuck up on me. Staying within plan so I hope I can maintain this loss this week.
7/27 - 148.5 - This is what happens when I weigh and track every piece of food I eat. Eventually, the weight comes off.
7/28 - 149.5 - And sometimes for no apparent reason, the weight comes back. All I can do is keep tracking.
7/29 - 149.5 - I've tracked all week so this is a little disappointing. My stepdaughter is having us over tonight for an early anniversary supper before their family leaves for home in Florida next week. I'm going to enjoy what they make and have a few drinks. I'll work on the consequences next week.
7/30 - DNW
7/31 - 149.5 - Today is our farewell party for our Florida family. I'm planning to stay around maintenance calories today.
8/01 - 149.5 - Went a little overboard on the food yesterday. Back on track today!
8/02 - 150 - The weekend food showed up, I hope this is the end of it.
8/03 - 150 - I will stay on track today and drink plenty of water.

Goal for this round: To weigh less than when the round started.
Previous days7/26 Started to post but then got distracted by something else.
7/27 125. Was 123ish when I weighed on Sunday. Started a new strength program (Thinner, Leaner, Stronger) after not lifting for about three weeks because of vacation and then getting back into the swing of things when we got home. I can at least say that me at 125 now feels a lot different than me at 125 two years ago. I definitely feel a bit swollen/sore from my body getting used to the routine but I know in a few weeks it’ll drop a bit. I’m also trying to maintain a slight deficit to slowly lose. My goal is to lower my body fat while building muscle, so this loss will probably be slower than I’d like to see.
On a personal note, I got the job as a lead that I had mentioned a month or two ago and my first day was Monday this week. I can already tell that I’m going to like it a lot! I also start a little later in the morning so I’m going to make it a point to post each day now that I have a little bit of time when I get home from the gym.
Ps. Sorry I’ve been so missing, life just got hectic with trying to wrap up the job and us going on vacation for a couple weeks. I did pop in from time to time just to read through the posts. I hope everyone has been doing well and enjoying their summer!
7/28 125 maybe less because this was after my protein shake. Worked out this morning. Today was a push day. I like how the 5 day split is a relatively quick workout too. It’s typically 4-5 exercises with 3 sets of 8-10 reps and then I add 20 minutes of cardio at the end and I still end up finishing in about an hour. For anyone interested Monday and Friday is lower body/leg day, Tuesday is upper body, Wednesday is a pull day (deadlifts plus 3 upper body/back exercises), Thursday is upper body/push day & abs (all upper body: shoulder press, chest press, triceps, and captain chair leg raises). At the end of I feel spent in a good way but not like I’m going to be dragging all day from it.
I’ve been starting each morning preworkout with a whey protein shake with 20 grams of protein and having a bit of fruit around 20 carbs worth. It’s either been blueberries, cherries, or dates depending on my mood. I find my workouts are a lot more enjoyable with some food in my stomach. Then I follow my workout with another 20 grams of protein and 50 grams worth of carbs. I then have a lunch consisting of some type of protein, veg and a small amount of fruit if I want something sweet. Then, dinner is some type of protein with veggies (sometimes starchy veg like corn on the cob) and/or salad. Although, last night we had cavatelli with sauce and meatballs and I also had a salad of fresh greens with an orange tomato plus a tablespoon of Trader Joe’s spicy peanut dressing (from the refrigerator section). I recently tried that dressing and it is so good! It’s only 70 calories for two tablespoons and it goes a long way because of how flavorful it is. I can’t wait to try it as a peanut noodle sauce with my fiber gourmet spaghetti for peanut noodles. Happy almost Friday!
7/29 Didn’t weigh this morning. Completed leg day and topped it off with a 10 minute stairmaster session. Had my protein shake with some dates preworkout and now sipping on the rest of my shake and pairing it with a smores probar because I’m in the mood for that. I’m looking forward to tonight because I’m meeting my coworkers from my previous program for dinner/drinks. It’ll be a slightly delayed send off for me 😊.
7/30 Did not post.
7/31 Took the weekend to rest. Watching my cousin’s bulldogs make it even easier because I just want to relax with them all the time. Yesterday’s food wasn’t the greatest because we had a family celebration for a cousin that won a community award recently, so my mother in law ordered a lot of Chinese food for the meal and had desserts I couldn’t resist. I ended up having small portions of everything and had a piece of cheesecake and cookie for dessert. The family thing was for lunch so I ended up just having a Greek yogurt for dinner because I wasn’t super hungry.
Breakfast this morning wasn’t great but I ended up having a few Hershey’s chocolates and I’m about to have Cracklin Oat Bran cereal. I’m not sure what lunch will be but dinner will be tacos with lettuce wraps for shells. I have a couple ears of corn left from our csa, so I’m going to make a corn salsa to top it.
My goal is to start feeling more comfortable sharing the mishaps of my meal plans because after 2 to 3 years of actively posting, I still hate sharing that certain days went awry. I can’t learn if I don’t acknowledge something in the first place, right?
8/1 124.5 estimated because I weighed after my workout which means there was already at least 16 ounces of water in me and 8ish ounces of protein shake and a few deglet dates so when I weighed it said 126.2. Today was leg day and it felt great after the two days of rest. I was able to go up in weight on all my exercises, which is always gratifying at the beginning of a new program!
Dinner last night ended up being air fried chicken tenders (Tyson, they’re a bit lower in cals than the regular freezer chicken tenders) and a piece of corn on the cob. Tacos in lettuce wraps are on the menu for dinner tonight though because I plan on cooking the ground beef concoction during my lunch today. It’s csa pick up day and with my day ending at 4:30 now, the csa pick up really pushes into when I’d normally start making dinner. So, my goal is to prep some part of dinner during my lunch on Mondays.
8/2 125ish. Feeling good after my leg day yesterday. Today was a push day and I was able to go up in everything again, yay! Preworkout protein shake and peach and then a protein bar and a drinkable Chobani Greek yogurt for post workout/breakfast. Went into the office for a couple hours this morning so I wasn’t able to post earlier. Lunch was cantaloupe and a little bit of cottage cheese. Dinner tonight will be pizza/dinner with my in laws because we’re celebrating my father in law’s retirement. So I had a light lunch and plan to only have one or two slices of pizza. I just picked up our meat CSA and was able to restock the freezer with protein and got mostly lean cuts of meat, so I’ll be able to cook some a couple nights through the week to have for lunches. I’ve been finding lunch time comes around and I’m not sure what I want/haven’t planned for it. So, that’s my next goal: have easy to grab lunches.
Ps. The new role is continuing to go well and I’m really enjoying the switch/having new things to do within my role that I didn’t have before. 😊
8/3 Did not weigh. Dinner last night went relatively well. I had two slices of pizza with a small piece of key lime pie and a few bites of cheesecake. Food is looking good today with lots of veggies and protein worked in. I’m excited about our meat CSA this month because we got lots of various chicken cuts in 1lb packages which is the perfect amount for two meals for me. Getting 120-130g of protein can be tough for me but it’s typically my daily goal. Today was deadlift day and it felt really good. I think I want to invest in wrist straps to assist with my grip as the weight goes up because I know my legs and back are stronger than my forearms/grip strength. Happy hump day!

7/24: 179.6 yes, all my work went out the window. I went on the cruise. i have wanted to go on one for 20 years, but work has stopped me. well, retirement opened opportunities and i planned my cruise. since my baby sister is turning 50 on 7/30, I invited her to go with me as a birthday gift. we were on Royal Caribbean, and visited roatan, costa maya, and cozumel (i have probably spelled every one of those city names incorrectly). i will begin keeping track of my calories again, and MUST go shopping to get healthier options in the house (the man is predictable with donuts and frozen dinners.)
7/25: 180.6 i've only been gone a week, and there's so much routine that has obviously slipped my mind. i forgot to do a morning weigh-in, so this mornings weight is after coffee and breakfast. i didn't drink enough water yesterday, need to get back to at least 8 glasses a day (hopefully more). i'm looking forward to my 173# again (even though that's not where near my goal weight)
ROUND 194
SW: 179.2
Day/Weight/Comment
7/26: 179.2 puffy leg this morning. that's not new, and i think it may have reduced a little since yesterday. salt intake was high yesterday, i'll have to watch that. calories and macros were great! so many things to stay focused on.
7/27: 177.2 keeping up with the water is helping. leg is practically back to normal, just a little puff around the ankle. calories and macros were on point again, but sadly sodium was still a little high.
7/28: 175.8 i think all the water weight is gone... the rest is probably the actual weight i gained. i usually eat a slice of white bread w/peanut butter as a snack for the last thing i eat. it carries me through 'til breakfast. i messed up last night and missed my snack. ended up eating PB bread at 2am today, so calories will be over today, and were under yesterday.
7/29: 175.8 i'm actually quite happy to see this weight. my calories were excessive yesterday (as expected). I was sure to get my PB bread BEFORE going to bed last night. i will probably see a weight gain later in the week for my mess up.
7/30: 174.8 look at that! it says i'm down a pound. did really good with calories yesterday, macros were off. oh well, keep on moving in the right direction.
7/31: 173.4 my scale is just being deceitful again. i'll keep logging what it's spewing out, but don't believe a word of it.
8/1: 172.6
8/2: 172.2 not feeling my best this morning, so expecting a gain over the next few days. eating foods that will settle in my belly vs. counting calories. drinking ginger ale vs. water. got a little worried about covid since i just got back from the cruise, but took the rapid test, and got negative results. so, all i have to worry about will be added calories to my diet.

/driving for 16 hours / Back at it after being on the Colorado Mountains for two weeks. Had a FANTASTIC time. Such beauty!
(Now that I am back home in Illinois, I love how I don’t have those pesky mountains blocking my view of the horizon…. NOT)
The surprising thing… I actually lost two pounds in spite of LOTS OF FOOD (not tracked)! Credit to LOTS OF EXERCISE! Hiking, biking, fishing, repeat.
Wishing I was in better shape while I was there is a little bit inspirational. Let’s see if I can build on that. Need to get back into tracking food.

Glad to be back with you all.
8/3: 213
/Spinning (kicked my butt), stretching/ Ate under calories and ate back no exercise calories. I see this as a good sign but far from victory.
