RND 221
HW: 175
SW this round 163.2
Goals This Round: Increase water and steps.
4/22 161.6 I cannot believe I am so close to seeing 150s!!!!!!!!!!
4/23 162.0 No surprise here. We went out for ramen last night and that is definitely the extra sodium and carbs doing their thing. It was a much planned for and highly anticipated meal, and totally worth it.
4/24. 162.6 I made a huge Sunday dinner for my extended family last night and let myself enjoy it. Don't feel like I went crazy though. I have my meals all planned out for the next few days and should make it to the gym at least 3 days this week, plus pickleball at least twice. Going to try to drink tons of water today to help flush out the extra sodium from weekend foods. Also going to add an extra treadmill mile or possibly a walk outside to hit 10,000 steps today. I would reeeeeally love to see a 150’s number this week. It's been a very long time.

04/24 -190.4- (Trend weight 190.9) A teeny weeny little drop. I thought it would be more. Back to logging more faithfully yesterday. I’ve been doing lots of house cleaning and yard work (when the weather permits) but not enough actual structured exercise. I need to change that. Travel today with dinner out. I’ll try to stay mindful. No dessert!

Projection/Actual
4/24 218.2/217.8 Up .1 from yesterday but still below my projection! Intentionally didn't have the leftovers. Made homemade pizza for lunch but only had two small slices. Made chicken and veggies for dinner. Total down this round 1.1
Prior Days This Round4/22 218.9/218.3 - A bit of a surprise but I will take it
4/23 218.4/217.7 - Yesterday was a super busy day. Putting my family room back together after clearing for paint job. Then cleaning the kitchen and dining room that was unorganized holding all that stuff. Stopped for a leftover turkey burger for lunch (with bun and cheese) and then didn't plan dinner so ended up with Chinese food. I usually love potstickers, but this place makes them with very thick dough...read: carbs - so I only had one. Then there's the rice, didn't eat any of the white rice but did have shrimp fried rice. It might take a day for this to show up on the scale but I plan on a more control food plan for today

4/24 127.8 Last I weighed in I was 130 last week so this is a nice surprise. Especially since I stopped logging again and on Thursday and Friday of last week I basically ate dinners of just golden potato and sweet potato fries (air fryer) smothered in a blended sauce of cashews, tofu, sesame seeds, beans, flaxseeds, garlic, and nutritional yeast that made it into a queso/gravy. I was feeling bad and wanted comfort food and nothing green. Better than cheese fries. It was so indulgent my husband and I had so much fun eating it with a fork and joking about it being healthy depression food. Learning how to mix and match the right ingredients and seasonings is paying off. A steep learning curve but worth it.

After taking a diet break for 3 rounds, I am back around 1 pound heavier. We had a lovely holiday at the same time which involved lots of eating out but also lots of walking. It was so nice to relax and not worry about food or counting and I am really surprised I haven't gained more. It gives me some hope for maintenance.
I admit I am struggling to get back into the weight-loss mindset so for this round I am just going to focus on counting again and getting 22 active minutes.
4/22: 164.2 lbs
4/23: 164.2 lbs
4/24: 163.4 lbs
This loss of probably just from eating less. I really struggled not to snack on the afternoon. Afternoons are my kryptonite. I can hoover up calories very quickly in the afternoon even if I am not hungry. I will try to replace any afternoon snacking behaviours with ginger and lemon tea and see how I go.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

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 over 5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

Hi, I'm new to MFP so I hope I post this correctly.
38F / 5'4"
Round 221 - RSW-239.2lbs / RGW-238.2lbs
Track all my meals on the app & do accountability checks with my fitness coach/son.
Stick to my work out plan (alternate 3 days walking/3 days body weight exercising/1 day rest)
Don't drink my calories outside coffee (need to have milk!)
Increase water intake (use my gallon size jug!)
Get good sleep!
Day, Weight, Comment
4/22 - 239.2 - Good start, had a walk with a long hill, ended the day with spare calories but still had a giant dinner!
4/23 - 238.2 - Day 2 of not drinking calories and all I wanted all day was a vanilla creme cold brew!
4/24 - 238.2 - Decided today that changing my workout days to a 2workout/1rest alternate would be better since my poor legs cannot take so much in a row! So, today is a rest day. However, I stood in line at chipotle getting lunch today for 25 minute and I'm counting that as a work out (plus test in patience). Had a big lunch (no rice! no tortilla!) so it's a light dinner for me.

1. Everyone is so inspirational,
losing so much weight round after round!
2. I'm going to try some of your tips/suggestions.
3. Love how there are many "shorties" here
(I'm surrounded by tall giants, so it's nice to "meet" some shorties
)
--
I made this for dinner:
Sriracha Salmon "rice" bowl, with homemade kimchi, nori sheets, sesame seeds, topped with Caviart
Used shirataki noodles that I snipped into tiny rice-size, to replace rice
With shirataki being almost 0 calories, I ate a huge bowl. Can't wait to eat more tomorrow.
I added Oat Bran Galette.
Didn't have any avocado.

Back for another round. My goals for this round will be a bit different. I’m flying back home on April 26 for my mum’s memorial (my mum passed away in mid-February 😢). I’m there for a week and will be staying in a hotel so won’t be able to weigh in for the second half of the round. My goal is to log everything, even while I’m away, just so I can stay accountable. And hopefully it will help me maintain the progress I’ve made so far.

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 221 (my 152nd). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine you are a star!
Back from a week away, tomorrow I will weigh in, first time since we went away. Goal for this round; any loss and keep binge free, not going to 100 days, starting small just going for 10, surely, I can make 10? This time!! Be mindful when I’m tempted! Keep within calories & macros. I can do this but, consistency is paramount, let’s do it for just 10 days as the reward is great!!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 taken me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 130. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

4/22 DNW – we travelled back home today after our week away, see what damage there is on the scale tomorrow.
4/23 140.8 – 7.95 miles walked, got a walk in after getting home & unpacking the caravan. Then some gardening to tidy it up after a week away, the weather was so nice, it was lovely to bring it back to scratch!! Lawns are now cut, edges tidied, weeding done before ran out of time. Dead heading still to be done. My first goal now this round is to get back below 140. Today we have a sibling’s lunch, all 6 of us plus partners, I get to see DB for the first time after his stroke 6 days ago, so pleased he’s agreed to still come, a positive step! Also meet DS’s new man for first time!! Going to be mindful and eat sensibly.
4/24 140.8 – 6.13 miles walked yesterday, all but 39 exercise calories eaten back. Really lovely siblings lunch yesterday, chose pesto & asparagus tagliatelle with grilled chicken, no desert but did indulge in a latte. DB is doing amazingly, he looks well, but words come out mixed up or he has difficulty thinking of the second half of the word, can’t really imagine myself what that feels like? It is an improvement as initially he couldn’t speak at all. He is positive, keeping cheerful & we are all convinced he will get that back, he does feel like his legs have been cut off whilst he can’t drive, but 3 weeks only left of that curfew. Thank you all for your kind wishes for him.
4/25 140.4 – 9.97 miles walked yesterday. 2/3rds exercise calories eaten back, feeling positive.

4/22 149.0 (trend 149.8) Started the round with a bit of a binge-fest last night, so that's not good! We had a trip to Oxford in the afternoon, so I got in a 3 mile walk along the river while waiting for OH to finish with his doctors appointment there.
I had the house to myself in the evening, so I took full advantage of stretching out on the sofa, watching tacky films until the wee small hours.
STEPS 7,134
4/23 149.4 (149.8) Had a slow morning, then got to the gym after lunch for a lower body workout. Totm started yesterday, and it affected most of my sets as I had to lower the weights on my lifts, so that was annoying. Got out for a 2 mile walk around town in the evening with OH, then a small pizza and a few beers with a film. Pretty much ate at maintenance, no tmi is probably why the gain today.
STEPS 8,564
4/24 150.0 (trend 149.8) We decided to skip breakfast and go for a walk and pub lunch. Did a 6 mile walk around a reservoir and didn't end up eating until 4pm, had Hunter's chicken with chips and salad, then overdid it with some snacks in the evening. I'm going to try my absolute hardest to stick to 1200 calories this week.
STEPS 15,684
4/25 149.2 (trend 149.7) 2 mile walk in the morning, then upper body workout. Made a huge batch of hot and sour chicken and vegetable soup, which should help me get back on track. Stayed within calories and only just got my steps goal.

My 11th Round
Age 53, 5’3.75”
June 2005: 345 lbs (Highest known weight before WLS Aug 2005)
June 2017: 241.8 lbs
January 2023: 157.6 lbs
Weight Beginning this Round: 142.0 lbs
Goal Weight: 130 lbs (Ideal weight for BMI would be 108-145 lbs)
This round's daily goals:
1. Max 1200 calories 10/10 days – ☹☹☹
2. 10 cups fluids 10/10 days – ☹☹☹
3. Attend work 6/6 days – 😊
4. Gym strength training 5/10 days –
5. Running 4/10 days - 😊
4/22 – 142 lbs – I am thinking about changing my goal/maintenance weight from 135 to 140 lbs. Today, 135 seems unattainable, for some reason, even though last Friday I was 138.6. Isn’t it funny how your brain works? I need to not focus on the negative, though, because that has proven to be disastrous, over and over again. IE, if I crank up the negative self-talk I will end up eating more and more and more. If I can try to think up some positive thoughts, I have more of a chance of having a successful day with food/exercise. The plan is Walk + Gym today. Let’s do this!
4/23 –140.2 lbs – Well, the scale finally moved, so that is good. I was getting a bit freaky about being over 140 lbs. Super scared that I am going to start gaining weight back, as I have so many times before. That is why it is important to keep logging calories, keep weighing myself and keep walking the dog. Unfortunately, my exercise sucked all last week, and I really need to make it a priority this week. Last week was “crunch time” on a project I am leading at work, and since I feel like my performance is being scrutinized, I felt compelled to make work more important than my health, which is probably not a good thing. So I was super tired a lot of the time, and called the dog-walker A LOT. I did not make it to the gym even once last week, which is unacceptable. I was supposed to go yesterday; I did not. I did do 156 minutes of dog walking, even though it was pouring rain, so that is one plus. I felt bad, as Golly had been under-exercised the day before, poor guy, and he was raring to go. Since it was raining and cold, we did not bump into any other dogs, so it was enjoyable to take him down by the lake, which I rarely do, since it is a very popular dog-walking path (he is dog-reactive, for those who may not remember). He doesn’t mind the rain at all, and luckily, I think he last that Lab double coat, where he just shakes himself and is pretty much dry even after being out in the rain for 2 hours. Lol. Anyway, I am just going to “start fresh” on my exercise plan today. I do have a call scheduled with my running coach this afternoon, and I will feel ashamed to tell her that I sucked at my plan last week. I cannot change last week, however; all I can do is try to stay positive and get to work this week. Please send kicks in the butt. I am still waffling about what my goal weight should be (135 or 140). Yesterday I went shopping for a few new clothes (every single thing I own is too big on me) and I was shocked to find myself buying a pair of size 2 jeans. Like what in the actual *censored*????? It was at a store called “Marks” and I think the sizes are big there, but still. What kind of alternate universe am I living in? I was size 5x in 2005 when I got gastric bypass; I was size 20 in January 2021 when I started “trying” again. My brain was a bit broken, in the change room, and I tried to tell my hubby about it but he gave me pretty much zero reaction. (He has never struggled with his weight, so he doesn’t really get it.) So I found myself thinking, at that point, “Maybe 140 is okay”. I did notice, trying on pants, that the loose skin on my hips is really annoying and needs to get cut off. If/when I get circumferential body lift, I think my pant size would be even smaller – it is hard to get the waist over the blubber that is hanging there. The other thing is that I tried on shorts and realized that my thighs are just… well, disgusting is the only word I can use, right now. They are so wrinkly and saggy. I am not sure I am going to be able to wear shorts at all. ☹ I am going to have to do some body image work on that, I think, as I don’t think there is much plastic surgery can do for that (I already had a thigh reduction in 2007). I need to either decide that I am just going to cover up from now on, or just say “eff it, I lost 200 lbs, if you don’t like my saggy baggy elephant legs look the other way”. I am not sure if I can get there. I will try. (Like, what will I do about wearing a bathing suit? I love swimming and we have an outdoor pool here at my building.) Anyway, it is getting late, I better go wake up the dog. Today on my exercise plan is 2:1 running vs walking. That is definitely not happening, as I did not complete my 1:1 week as planned, last week. Quick note for anyone who struggles with insomnia: check out “8D sound” on YouTube. It is wild and has improved my sleep dramatically. Have an awesome day, everyone.
4/24 – 140.6 lbs -
4/25 – 141.4 lbs – Yesterday I found out that my height has decreased. I guess I am shrinking as I age. So that of course impacts my BMI and therefore ideal weight. Apparently, my height is now 5’3.75” and apparently that makes my current BMI 24.4. According to Google, my ideal BMI would be between 18.5-24.9, so I am on the high side of normal. According to Google a healthy weight would be 108-145, so that gives me some guidelines for what my goal weight should be. Anyway, all of this has me feeling a bit crazy. I have changed my goal weight to 130 lbs and I have changed my 10-day goals above to reflect the fact that I still have a long way to go so I better get my butt in gear. (I decreased my calories to 1200 per day, and I eliminated the “add exercise calories” in MFP. I also increased my fluid intake to 10 cups per day, which is extremely high, for me. Now I know BMI is controversial but honestly I don’t have any other guidelines to go by, so I am going to go with this, until told otherwise by a medical professional. (I have discussed with my GP and she has not been able to help me set a goal weight, thus far.) All of this being said, I will admit that I am feeling pretty triggered at the moment and I reserve the right to change my goals, well, pretty much every day until the day I die. LOL. But for the moment, I want to lose 11.4 lbs and that is a lot and sheesh, I am feeling like I better hustle. I also feel like I have been “slacking” for the last couple of weeks; time to get it together. I need to pre-track my meals as 1200 is low for me (especially on the days I go to the gym, as I always feel hungry after I do my strength training). I guess I will stick with Jenny food for now, as I still have a few days left, but I am also thinking that I could start prep-cooking again, which may be a bit more “healthy” as I can decide for myself what to put in my body. I better check how many days of Jenny food I have left. Also, Jenny is kind of expensive. Jenny has certainly helped me get some kind of nutrition in my body, over the past couple of months, as prior to that, since around November, I was feeling pretty depressed and just completely stopped cooking. However, I think I might be ready to go back to meal-prepping, etc. I will see if I can plan to do that this coming Sunday. Hubby will be home so he can help. That means I need to Google up some recipes and make a grocery list. Okay, I have a lot to do. Lol. I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed, of late, so why not add on a bunch of stuff?? 😊

GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 221
Round 221
April 22 – May 1, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
Goal for Round 221 – This round will end with the challenge of traveling home 1600 miles, with a full day stop at MIL’s, followed by the last 1400 miles of the trip. Final weigh-in will be the morning after I return home (if the drive goes as planned). My dream for my time in Florida was to return home weighing less than 130, a place I had gotten to with the help this group in 2021. Returning home is the May 1 of this round. So my goal for this round is to be under 130 on May 1.
History:
Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a DGS, and second GS on the way. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Selling family home distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment
4/22 – 130.4 Last night, I just…needed….something…..more. Was not feeling like embracing the slight hunger of evening. I did track it all though, and came in around 2000 calories total (even tracking is still only best estimates). Combined with my activity for the day, I doubt it explains a true gain. So we shall see.
4/23 – 130.4 Again, total calories purportedly good, but I did make some poor selection making up those calories. On top of it, I feel “big” today. Will eat cleaner today and see how that all settles out tomorrow.
4/24 – 129.6 Back to the weight I saw during late round 220. Looks like I am in a slow moving patch. Yesterday, calories were good (1534), walked 6.5 miles formally, played over an hour of doubles pickleball. Just seems like getting into the 120’s and staying will take concentration. Today will have its challenges. We leave Thursday and pantry and fridge need reductions, so grocery shopping is minimal and balance of meals is less optimal, even when I am making a good effort. Then on top of it, Hubby wants Thai food one last time before we leave. That is tonight (then Chinese with his mother on Thursday…..). Just need to do my best for the round. If I am careful, I should be under 130 on May 1 like I am hoping.
4/25 – 130.8 I would have bet money on that! :P Pad Thai for dinner. Exercise was good. I did my 3 laps (6.5 miles) and later in the day, as a test, I got on the spin bike. Just 11 minutes. But I wanted to test my Florida shoes with my Neuroma, and they were great. I know my shoes up north are different. Now, when I get there, if I find them uncomfortable, I know the exact shoes to replace them with. Northern exercise will be a change. I do not have a walking group. That will actually help me to diversify, which a truly need to do (group walks much slower than I prefer). Have today’s food all planned out. Fridge is close to empty. More packing and cleaning today, and starting to load the Florida car (we switch at MIL’s – my Friday task)

Good Morning!
My whyI am playing a game with myself & setting little daily goals of losing 0.35lbs per day and using those goals to help me stay motivated and on track is a way of fasting that I saw in another group. Using my bathroom scale as a weight loss tool works for me. There are days that my weight increases by 2 pounds or more, and I understand that this is mainly water weight, and can go away as quickly as it came. That is why there are times that my daily goal and my weight that day are pounds apart. I am not expecting to lose 2 pounds of body fat by the next day. But it is possible to lose 2 pounds of water weight by the next day, so I stick to my goals. If it takes longer than one day to lose that water weight, I extend my fast for another day. Sticking to my plan, I will reach my 1st goal weight of 172 pounds on September 16 2023. This will put me in the overweight weight range which I have not seen since 2007. At that point I will decrease the daily amount to 0.2lbs per day to get to my ultimate goal of 140 by my birthday in February. I also have a cruise booked for my birthday & one of the tours offers a mini photoshoot. What a great opportunity to be at my goal & get semi professional pictures on the beach!
I did an extended fast on April 9th that lasted almost 9 days. That got me back on track after Easter.

Past days this round4/22 -Goal 222.4 /Actual 221.8.
I am not complaining about the scale 🙊 I know this is what happens. I am still almost down 10lbs, my eating is better, low calories, less mindless unplanned eating. I made fried kimchi cauliflower rice with shrimp last night that had great macros & was very satisfying & tasty. I had never tried kimchi before but we picked up a huge jar at Costco & fortunately we like it. I will probably make it again this week. I am challenging myself to cook with what we have in the house, everything is super full so I will have to do some digging in the cupboards & freezer & make some good low carb dishes.
4/23 -Goal 222.1 /Actual 222.6
Already another fasting day. I thought it would take until Monday. Oh well, no big deal. I have some meals to prep today for the week, hot yoga this morning & I will take the dog for a walk. I was noticing yesterday that I was moving better & felt lighter. The scale does not agree but I will not get frustrated. I knew going into this that the scale sucks. I continue to stick to my plan, fast when I am over the projected goal & know that it is just a number & does not represent failure.I have been eating under 1000 calories since I broke my fast except yesterday I had around 1400. I have not been drinking enough water & honestly now that I think of it I did some boredom/procrastination eating that I did not track. No big deal, it can be fixed but I need a strategy to stop that. Well, at least I have a strategy to deal with it when it does happen before it leads to weeks & months!
4/24 -Goal 221.7 /Actual 221.4
Well I didn’t fast yesterday but I was very mindful & ate low carb & less calories. I cooked ahead & should have enough food cooked for the week that I don’t have to worry about coming home from work & settling for taquitos & pizza pops. I will be working most of the week & starting to train seasonal staff so that they are ready when pool season starts. In yoga yesterday the instructor suggested something that reinforced my current goals. Self care, exercise, taking care of this extra weight is so important so that I am not a burden on those around me. My mobility is not affected now, but it will be in the future if I don’t take care of myself now.
4/25 -Goal 221.4/Actual 221.4
I am exactly on track. It should feel good but somehow I feel behind. This feeling of inadequacy is creeping into other areas of my life & affecting other people. I feel a little out of control because there is no way I can control everything. Oh well, obviously I am going through another period of growth & development. I believe this time I will reach my weight loss goal which will give me a sense of accomplishment so that I can move on. At least I hope that’s what is going to happen!

4/25 - 157.6 - I managed to lose the bloat from the weekend quickly and efficiently and maintained my goal from last round to this point. The goal of the next 4 days (I leave in 30 minutes to the airport so I'm counting today) is to be mindful, listen to my body's hunger cues, and make the healthiest choice possible given my options. I would like to maintain 157.x but I'll still be content so long as I stay below the 160s! I also failed to catch up on reading posts so I'll have nearly a full round to catch up on once I'm back! Good luck this week, everyone!

Previous Day's Comments4/22 - I was very excited to still see 157! We ended up eating out at a Japanese restaurant for dinner so I have a lot of excess sodium. The bloat is super visible today so I was more than expecting the scale to be higher. I ended up rolling my ankle again getting out of the vehicle at the grocery store. It's stiff right now but otherwise fine. Either it's getting weaker and weaker (maybe the VA will finally allow me surgery on it?) or the storms weakened it enough and then my morning run did me in. I wear a brace with metal supports on my runs so it feels stable no matter what. Guess I'll be wearing my ankle brace at all times now ): I hate that. I'll have to add in some ankle strengthening exercises to help keep some muscle in there. Today we are helping Fam start building their porch that was all rotted before they pulled it down. We can't do too much due to the week of upcoming rain, starting tonight. Speaking of, I'm concerned about my trip to Oklahoma. It's supposed to be storming here and there when I fly out. Hopefully it doesn't cause any issues like it did BF. Not so much on the way there, but certainly on the way back. I'm already not supposed to get home until Saturday morning at about 1-2am but any delays will only make it worse.
4/23 - This is 100% sodium and pasta bloat. We had fast food breakfast, Italian lunch (only place in town without an 1 hour+ wait for food) and then dinner was air-fried chicken drumsticks with some steamable veg (that apparently was going bad as it tasted awful). I listened to my body, though, and didn't finish breakfast or dinner because I was satisfied. In between, we did some light manual labor prepping everything to build Fam's porch. A bit of heavy lifting and walking around. Today is a lazy day. We may work on the travel trailer, deep cleaning and fixing things up, but that's still up in the air. If so, that'll be my activity. Otherwise, we'll be home and I have a say in my food options and can focus on water to help banish this bloat by tomorrow which is primary goal today.
4/24 - I don't deserve this drop back down. We went out to run a single errand and ended up driving around town finding things to do to stay out of the house. While out and about, we ate Thai for lunch. I figured the sodium from that would have done me in but we also didn't pull anything out to thaw for dinner so BF requested my homemade pizza which I had 3 slices. After logging the best I could (estimating pad thai) I was over 550 calories AKA eating at maintenance. Today I'm working all day so I'll be focused on water and eating better. I'm foregoing my run as my ankle still hurts quite a bit from rolling it again Friday. I have a nice deep bruise on it today so I figure I'll just lightly pedal on the bike for a bit. I'm still planning on working out in some capacity while on my trip, assuming I even make it as it's supposed to be storming all day tomorrow at my airport and the layover location. I still have to finish packing, too. I have to catch up on the weekend's posts so I'll be doing that through the day, I'm sure, as I'll be bored.

My name is Paula and I am a 46 year old 100% service disabled veteran from the Army.
This is my second round. I am signing up for a variety of challenges to help change my mindset about healthy habits and getting my weight under control. I want a better quality of life where I don’t have to ask my husband to constantly slow down when we are walking because he is going too fast.
I also use Noom, GOLO, and intermittent fasting (IF) using a 16:8 (fasting hours:eating hours) schedule to help affect the change with my weight. I have also DRASTICALLY overhauled my eating habits and what I eat to a more clean way of eating.
Starting weight - 240.4 lbs
Challenge goal weight - 237.2 lbs
4/22 - 240.4 lbs 🥲🤨 Fell off a little and did some emotional eating to equilibrate some pesky emotions and satisfy my personality need for comfort (my #1 personality need that is always getting me into trouble! 😒🫢
4/23 - 241.0 lbs 🤨🧐 Went to the movies to take the family to see “Super Mario Brothers” and the movie theater is my age old place to chow down like it’s my last meal and I’m on death row where I just eat the craziest most unhealthy crap to fully immerse myself in the experience. However….I didn’t quite do that this time! I ate two mini super small snack-eye size Baby Ruth & similarly mini Snickers, but passed on the movie popcorn heavily laden with delicious butter or mega sized fountain soda! I see this as a win for me! I’m getting there darnit!
4/24 - 239.6 lbs 😅😊 I missed my last workout and skipped strength training so it’s time to get back in the saddle. I am setting the intention right here and right now to go to the gym for cardio, then come home to do the next series of strength training exercises as designed by the hubby! I was having an overly emotional weekend because I am still in the process of implementing my routine and strategies to purposefully fill my needs buckets myself and ahead of time so I have a bit of buffer so I don’t have to worry about my arch nemesis/my subconscious looking for the easiest autopilot or otherwise way to haphazardly fill those needs buckets per my Emotional Mastery class. I created a template in my journal app to journal on my food & fitness aspect of being to help entrain good, healthy behaviors, but like I said I was having an emotional crap show this weekend so I just was too busy feeling sorry for myself to give myself a moment to remember what tools I have to get me some good habits brewing and new neural connections created to establish this different mindset. I’m a work in progress folks! 😰🤤😬
25 - 239.6 lbs 🫣🤔🤓. Why in the world is this the weight that showed up the most throughout the month!? That seems so statistically improbable that it is making my head want to implode. I stuck to my goals for 3 meals to eat during my 8 hrs of eating time tailoring it so I can hit my nutrients and macro goals, but I ended up eating my lunch later than I tend to —which caused me to push dinner much later than I prefer. 😰. I missed the gym yesterday and didn’t do any strength training either. I got caught up bc I broke my glasses accidentally and had to go get those turned in ASAP bc I cannot even drive without them and there is a 2 week waiting time, but that is what I get! I own that! I have started my food & fitness journaling for a new daily practice to help conform my eating habits into healthy ones and as a kind of accountability tool administered by me/myself/I.

04/25-117.1- I increased my water intake to 64 oz yesterday. I was up at 7 AM to give lots of blood-hopefully I will get an answer to where my thyroid, Sjogren's, and Cholesterol levels are. Have my fingers crossed that the results will be ready by next week's rheumatologist appointment. I clearly cut this test very close as Quest is 2 to 3 weeks back logged on test results due to staff shortage-hopefully mine will come in faster! It will be a lazy day as it is about to pour and Thunderstorms are expected for the next 3 days.

SW Round 221: 126
(4/24)
4/22 - DNW
4/23 - DNW
4/24 - 126! I am really off the rails here. 4 full pounds above my maintenance range. We booked a beach vacation for Memorial Day week this morning so I am hoping to use feeling good in my bikini as a motivator to get back on track. I spent the weekend away from the challenge because I did a brief digital detox. In the process I realized how bad social media is for me, so I am going to stop it all together for a while. MFP doesn't fall in the same category as TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.
4/25 - 123, phew. That was a lot of water! Fasted most of the day yesterday and just had two light meals between 4 and 8 after doing a Peloton ride and dog walk. I doubt I'll make it as long fasting today but I might have lunch a little late just to avoid snacking. I'm making pork chops and sugar snap peas for dinner tonight. My first time making pork chops since I didn't eat most meat for a long time. I mostly just hope my kids will eat it. They're getting pickier by the day. And I'm sneaking out at lunch time for my first hair cut in approximately two years. It's gotten so long that I wonder if I'll lose a pound of hair

Here for another round! Would really like to dip into the 160's by May 1 so this is the perfect round to do that. I'm really finding I do best the days I get outside for activity, we have an EP area with tonnes of trails near our house and I was really consistent getting out for a hike 4-5 times a week in the winter and for some reason I've had a harder time motivating myself to go that way when we leave for our walk in the morning, not sure why. So I'm going to challenge myself to not go two days in a row of not hiking this round.
Female - 51yrs - 5'5"
Goal weight - to hang out somewhere 145-150
R220 EW 4/21 - 170.8
4/22 - 171.0 - little blip up. I started feeling the TOM bloat yesterday and still a bit puffy this morning, hopefully it will flush out as TOM wraps up over the next day or so. It's pouring out, and not supposed to let up, so I might be starting this round with a non hike day, but we went yesterday. I know I can hike in the rain, but I really don't want to bathe the dog after LOL...he's curly haired and holds onto EVERYTHING when he gets wet.
4/23 - 172.2 - bleh! Yuck day yesterday...icky walk in the rain, grey and dreary, no motivation...except to make cookies for the boys...which of course required quality control. I know I didn't eat over 3500 calories in cookies though (probably only 500-600) so it's likely just retention shock from the carbs and sugar my body isn't used to anymore. Finishing my coffee and heading out to the woods for a hike since I missed it yesterday.
4/24 - 171.2 - back in the right direction. Got my hike in yesterday and stayed away from the cookies. Plan is to do the same today.
4/25 - 170.4 - Excellent! Proud of myself for actually going for a hike in the drizzle yesterday! Was going to do another today but Hubby asked me to help with some errands this morning so I don't have time before we need to leave. We will get a quick walk in and maybe another this evening. Calories and logging were good yesterday as well, so far so good this week! If I keep this up I'll definitely be dipping into the 160s!!
