    64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 203 (my 135th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.

    That's the last 0.2 pound of holiday weight gain gone. Now to move on to the weight that crepy on before I went! I'd like to lose a pound this round.
    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. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.
    End of round 69 134.2 lbs

    11/05 136.2 – 9.64 miles walked, back to a good food day after Friday's meal out. Enjoyed home cooked healthy meal more than the one eaten out !!

    11/06 135.6 – wow! On a good streak at the moment, feeling really good to be well in control. 8.57 miles walked yesterday.
    11/07 135.6 – 3.76 miles; managed a quick walk before we travelled up to spend day with DD & family, rain stopped us getting out to the park with DGS.
    11/08 136.4 – 10.34 miles walked, received our first Hello Fresh box, worked the meal into my plan – just!!
    11/09 136 – 9.45 miles walked,

    11/11 135.4 – 8.39 miles walked. A very emotional day yesterday; funeral for an elderly aunt & then travelled up to visit an old friend that had not seen for many years who is teminally ill, had a lovely few hours together, hope will be able to visit again next week. (fingers crossed).

    11/12 135.8 - 9.62 miles walked. 1.8 pounds lost this round, excellent!! Really pleased. This is the first time I've mentioned it, but I've taken out WW free 3 months membership, I was very sceptical with free points, unlimited fruit etc, but it's given me a fresh approach, new focus & it does seem to be working although I still limit myself to 5 servings of fruit per day cuz I know although natural sugar it's still sugar! I started towards the end of September, DSs are all doing it & it makes it easier when we meet up every week. Yes I'm really happy with this round, and of course it makes a difference when there is only 1 full weekend in it too!
    I'M WORTH IT !!

    ﾑﾍThis is NOT A DIET. It’s a PERMANENT HEALTHY LIFESTYLE?￰ﾟﾑﾍ

    @Machias1949 My husband is such a crab when he gets sick too! And yes I have no idea how to set a goal weight, ugh. I’ll be at 20 lbs lost soon (.2 to 122.4) which I am excited about. I’ve always had 120 in my head so maybe I’ll try that then re-evaluate. In the meantime I am adding more strength training so we’ll see what happens!

    @Machias1949 & @pezhed Here is an entry I made from a little over 2 years ago,

    “10/8/20. Until recently I was staying under 20 carbs then went up to 25. The last couple of weeks I have allowed myself more because my “goal weight” was 125 (my WW goal in 1985) and my weight is now fluctuating between 115-117. I’m 5’1” and 70 years old.

    I started a little over 3 years ago at 167.5 and thought I would be lucky to get to my “current” WW goal of 137. LOL The ounces and pounds kept coming off and I planned to stop at 125 but nope, my body wasn’t where it wanted to be. So, I keep on keepin’ on and I’m still dropping slowly. And easing up on the carbs.”

    Don’t stress over setting a goal. I felt very comfortable at 117-118 which I had never dreamed I would attain. The only time in my adult life that I had been that light was after 3.5 weeks in the hospital when I had scoliosis surgery (now 40 years ago) and all my muscles were gone. I crept up last year during the holidays and plan to not do that again this year. My fasting has fallen by the wayside since my DH had shoulder replacement in September and the other shoulder is planned for 3.5 weeks from now. I think stress is a huge factor recently.

    I think your body will let you know when you “are there.”

    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.

    People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for almost 5 years with amazing results!

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

    Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

    11/03 - 176.2
    I went for a nice long walk in the woods yesterday, but on the way back to my car I tripped over a crazy bunch of grass and fell. Skinned and bruised my right palm, and my left knee has a big colorful lump. I’m fine, just tender, and trying to figure out how I landed on opposite limbs! But the woods were lovely, full of crunchy leaves and that wonderful fragrance of fall. Today I’m off to hang out at the dog show, see friends, smooch dogs. Have a great day, everyone!

    11/04 - 176.4
    I had a lovely time yesterday hanging out at the dog show, seeing friends, some I see all the time, some from other places I see only occasionally, and playing with dogs. A friend from Indianapolis whom I met on a train in 2011 was here showing her dog, and came for dinner, which was lovely. And in spite of the lobster ravioli with olive oil and Parmesan, a little wine, and a piece of lemon pound cake, I stayed under calories for the day. (No lunch.) I also go lots of steps walking around the Coliseum for 3+ hours! I’m writing today but plan to spend most of tomorrow at the show, trying to figure out what kind of dog I want next, which is weight-related since I get a lot more exercise when I’m playing with a dog! 😁

    11/05 - 177
    Ok, time lag from Thursday. That’s fine. I just got home from all day at the dog show again, walking or standing most of the time. It was fun to see people I haven’t seen in ages. Staying home tomorrow to write and make soup.

    11/06 - 176.6
    Nothing to report since I checked in late yesterday. Planning a creative day—write (working on an idea for a new book), make soup (once I land on a recipe), knit, go for a walk, read…. I hope you all have a lovely Sunday!

    11/07 - 176.6
    I made a really yummy new soup yesterday—butternut squash and apple. Interesting combo! And low calorie. Leftovers today. Yum. That’s the 42nd different soup I’ve made this year. 🍵

    11/08 - 176.6
    I’m beginning to see a trend here. 😊 I actually expected to be up this morning as I ate way too much yesterday. Moving along…

    11/09 - 177.2
    Oopsie doopsie. I overate yesterday, too. Don’t know what’s gotten into me the past two days. Colder weather, I guess. I’ll do better today.

    11/10 - 176.8
    I can’t seem to stop eating — did it again yesterday. Aaaackk! But I ate a better breakfast this morning, and I find that usually keeps me under control the rest of the day, so we’ll see if I do better today.

    11/11 - 177.6
    Ugh. The aftermath of overeating. I don’t know why I become a vacuum cleaner in the evenings the past few days. Gotta stop this nonsense.

    11/12 - 176.8
    Ok, not too bad. Next round!

    11/3 / 169
    11/4 / 168.4
    11/5 / 168.6 / I am dealing with some very low moods. I am happy I am keeping it mostly together. I have very little energy right now. I am not finding my motivation for exercise. I am not dealing with food as well as I'd like, but well enough. I need to turn things around and get back to under 165 where I want to be maintaining.
    11/6 / 169.4 / I woke up today feeling refreshed. Went right from my bed to my Peloton. Did my push-ups. Had a healthy smoothie to start my day. It's amazing the difference starting on the right foot can make!
    11/7 / 167.8 / Today feels really positive as the last time I weighed less than today was Sep 8, which means this moment feels like an opportunity to capitalize on. Currently catching up on here and then I have plans to exercise before bed.
    11/8 / 168.4 / Got my Peloton exercise in before bed last night. Not ideal timing, but so proud I could make it happen. Slept decently too so I'm ready to tackle this snowy cold day at the office.
    11/9 / 167
    11/10 / 168.6
    11/11 / 169.4 / Off for our first winter hike of the season. Last night we had an amazing date night... candlelight concert at a Hangar Museum with a string quartet doing Coldplay's music with dinner at my favorite restaurant.
    11/12 / 169.8 / Ended up the same after 10 days but happy the overall trend weight was down. Yesterday's hike was a harder one and we did well. We've been out of the house again today running errands but I hope to hop on the Peloton when we get home.

    I am about 8 kg along the way to lose 32 kg. I use multiple tape measurements (cm) around my body because they aren't affected by salt intake. My weight has been dropping for 5 months, although I had a blip of 10 weeks when I headed in the wrong direction. Apparently I've been trying to lose weight since September 2012, the last time I was at goal weight. Let's see if stopping eating sugary food is going to change things.

    Heaviest ever 1st Jan 2021, goal+31.8 kg

    Total is 812.5 cm

    How this round went: my gym closed and I joined another gym. I have started matching the day of the month with the number of minutes running on the treadmill. I think that's why I didn't lose this round. The exercise was too easy and it didn't encourage me to eat less.

    Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessarily.
    People are still dying out there……… and the numbers are on the rise again.
    😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
    November focus:
    maintain weight < 140 (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!

    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!

    SW: 235
    R204 GW:230 AW:228.4 Loss:6.6
    GW: 180

    My basic plan is to lose one pound a week (on avg). This week is a little extra since I am just starting (first week, if I am good, is usually more).

    Day/Weight/Comment
    11/7 235: The morning after a 2-week cruise. Changing from WW to MyFitnessPal and calories.
    11/8 231.8: First day is always easy to lose. I tracked everything and really didn't eat enough. Wasn't my plan.
    11/9 231.6: Customer was in town so I was less active and ate a few things that I shouldn't. But I owned it all and tracked everything!
    11/10 230.6: A little surprised. Same going on as 11/9. Tracked everything. I'll take it! Hungry today but I am watching the calories and other nutrients - mostly trying not to eat all the candy that is here at work (and I have been really good - because it is over if I even have just one!).
    11/11 228.6: Like I said yesterday... I was hungry... and I did eat my calories...
    11/12 228.4

    11/14: 165.2
    11/15: 164.8 .. hard day. woke at 3am, worrying. Too many areas of stress. At 7pm vowed I'd stay away from "all breads" for 5 days but that didn't work.
    11/16: 166, expected gain. Today I will breathe, try to stay focused and positive. Tomorrow I'll weigh less.
