Round 222: JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS
Hi, this is my 2nd round.
I’m Amanda, almost 50, wicked short 4’11” from New England.
My 1st goal is for mid-June (trip to LA/Vegas),
2nd goal for mid-August.
Appreciate all your support.

Round 221 SW: 126.8
Round 222 SW: 122.6 - debated 4.2#
Round 222 GW: 120
5/2 – 121.6
Great start to Round 222.
5/3 – 122.0
5/4 – 122.2
Almost did 1 pull-up: it's close. It's coming!
Max pull-ups = 8. **WHEN** will I ever get to 9?
I upped my hip thrust to 50#+thin bar. This feels good.
PR hip thrust was 205#. I’m coming back (so ever slowly).

Round 222
45/F/Indiana
Always welcome new friends
I am back to 173.0 - I've lost these 3 lbs about 5 times now, so now that I got that out of my system, the goal is to break out to the other side and get away from them for good! 160's I'm coming!!!
Goals: 100+oz water a day, 8k-10k steps a day, cardio 5x a week, strength 3x a week
5.2.2023 - 173.0 - Heading to the gym tonight. Started a new gym and I'm loving it! Plus I'm only paying half of what the old gym costs and this gym has way more. Win, win! Let's knock out these next 10 days!
5.3.2023 - 174.2 - well I ate too much last night, so there’s that. Ugh 😩 I couldn’t stop. But today has been better so far. It’s the evening time that gets me. Heading to the gym soon.
5.4.2023 -173.8 - Last night was strength training and cardio at the gym. I was super sluggish, but finished. Should have done more. I don’t feel so sluggish today and I know it was from the pizza carbs. Staying on track so far today. Let’s see a lower # tomorrow!11 -
Thank you, again, QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!
Round 221 was excellent
Going to continue aiming for my same goals and actions taken in the last week of April.

05/02 -193.6- (Trend weight 192.3)
05/03 -193.4- (Trend weight 192.6) A slight drop which I’m quite sure I don’t deserve. It was a good food day yesterday until the late night muchies set in. I hope the scale doesn’t tip in the next few days as a reflection of my lack of willpower lately. Every time I try to steer this boat smoothly, I end up sailing right off the deep end lately. I need to keep typing my weight in pink!
05/04 -193.6- (Trend weight 192.7) Well there is that sneaky little increase that was hiding from the scale! So glad it’s only 0.2!!! I had a great food and exercise day yesterday. Stayed on track and watched all my p’s and q’s. This too shall pass.

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

Looking through my pictures (hunting for my PR hip thrust), I found a few of these pictures.
I was 113# (only 4'11").
While I remember feeling great about my weight/body, etc, I recall still thinking about dropping another 5-10#, aiming for 105-109#. My lowest ever since hitting puberty was 112#.
Would you think that I have mild version of Body Dysmorphia?
Because I am still aiming for 105-109 elusive goal.

@39flavours - to be honest I get more stiff if I don't walk 😁. Over the last 3 years I've developed a 'dodgy' hip, not too painful, more of an ache, which occasionally does give me a sharp reminder that it is there, but if I don't walk it is worse, almost as if I have to keep it moving!! Strange!!!6

@huango The composition of the 112# of your youth may be very different from you today with your weight lighting and such. Have you considered measurements as a goal instead of a number of pounds?

This round I need to reframe the way I have been thinking about calorie counting. I need to think of it as a vehicle to help me rather than thinking of it as a restriction. Another issue I need to address is that I have become comfortable with my current weight. I need to realize that to keep me healthy, mobile, and independent, I need to lose another 20 pounds.

Well it hasn't been a good start to this challenge. I haven't counted for the past few days. But I have pre planned today so I am hopeful I will follow through. I lifted a 10 pound weight last night and it makes me realize just how heavy that weight is. I need to imagine that weight off my body and the relief it will give my joints.

@huango The composition of the 112# of your youth may be very different from you today with your weight lighting and such. Have you considered measurements as a goal instead of a number of pounds?
I was/always been a plump/husky kid.
The 112# was achieved in February 2020, right before covid.
Yes, I did do measurements, especially since the scale didn't move much the last few months. (very sad with the disappearing boobs).
But I'm still stuck with wanting to be under 110#.
I used to be crazy and wanted to be 99#.

5/2 172.3 lbs. I know it’s just water weight, but it was nice to see it move ⬇ Got in 4170 steps yesterday, so pretty good neuropathy day. It is so windy and dusty outside, going to use the treadmill if I have to. Did some playing with the corgis. Just watching them can make me tired. Wish I still had that much energy.🌻 Dinner is planned now just hope I can stick to it.
5/3 170.4 lbs. More water gone. I feel a lot better, but it really makes my neuropathy cramp up. It’s an ok trade off. I know that my body will finally adjust. Dinner went as planned. Air Fried Chicken Fried Steak, Homemade Red Potato Salad and Pioneer Country Gravy (because I was lazy and my homemade is way to caloric) Everything was tweaked for low cal. No second helpings YEAH! Did 4381 steps. Cleaning out the camper, so a lot of up and downing. I’m excited to go camping, but that is what set me down my spiral to quit.
Surprisingly the husband wants to jump back on the plan again too.
**It may have something to do with the fact that he could barely button up his favorite pants this weekend, Haha welcome to the club 😘**
5/4 167.3 lbs. Guess my body did a huge water dump. I refuse to believe that it’s real weight loss yet. On the brightside, I feel so much better. Pretty sure that my body runs best in a slight dehydration mode. I did end up with seconds on dinner but tracked everything. I still was hungry, so ate an apple. Surprised myself even 😍 Got in 2096 steps, the weather is changing this afternoon. It makes moving kind of hard.

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 222 (my 153rd). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine you are a star!
A good start to this round; back down under 140 this morning, so I aim to stay under this and hopefully lose another pound. I am fed up with repeating myself and berating myself for messing up, it’s time I really got back on track. After all I am what I eat in more ways than one, my whole demeanour is totally different when I am happy with myself!!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.

5/4 140.8 – 9.23 miles walked, 20% exercise calories eaten back, this must start a downward trend soon !! Happy Star Wars day !!
5/5 140.8 – no structured walking as child minding little DGS, hence 500 calories over.

I'm going to join in. Personally I've had a bad two years and put on 70lbs, I am only 5ft 2".
I don't have a specific goal of pounds to lose this round, just want to get my 10K steps in per day and stick to my calories. Lets see how it goes....
02/05: 215.4lbs
03/05: 213.8lbs Had a good day yesterday. Drank my water and hit my 10k steps. Stayed within calories.
04/05: 213lbs Stayed within calories but didn't hit my 10k steps so I'm happy with this drop.
05/02: 213.2lbs. Stayed within calories, drank my water and hit my steps. Not sure why slight upturn but its nothing major.

5/02: 226
> Missed 221 cause I missed a couple of dates and didn't feel ok to start from the middle, but kept tracking daily. Food was ok, didn't miss a workout. Water is way up, barely any soda, just need to figure out my sleep as well somehow. But the goal this week will be to just keep maintaining those habits.
5/03: 228.8
> I have no idea what that jump was. It was a good day overall. Proper food, proper workout, proper sleep.
5/04: 226.4
> Good day. Did some walking cause it's supposed to be a rest day. It's starting to get easier to stay on track.
5/05: 227
> I think my scale is dead. I always go twice just in case cause mental thing, weighed in a few times this morning, went between 221 to 227, different number each time. Time for a new one I guess. It's pretty old, but I can't be going up and down like that, and if I didn't go up a second time would have been freaked out tomorrow seeing another weird jump again if I just stuck with the 221. Tracking with the highest one. That's an issue.5/06:

@musicsax our bodies do stiffen up if we don't keep moving, that's for sure! I lift weights most days, but if I go more than 3 days without lifting then when I do I'm really suffering the next day. Walking 9 miles takes me around 3hrs, it's a big commitment and tricky with our UK weather, although we've had some really nice days recently. Do you get out for one big walk a day or do you break it up into smaller chunks?6

5/2 147.2 (trend 148.2) Yesterday I had a bit of a day off and just enjoyed myself. I met up with my mum, brother and his family, and we went to a village May Day fair as it was my nephew's 3rd birthday. I didn't have much control over what food and drinks I had as my brother brought a picnic for us all, so I had a big cheese sandwich, crisps, birthday cake, and coffee with sugar. Walking was at toddler-pace so didn't count as exercise! I did play football with my older nephew for a bit, which helped get my heart rate up at least. I'm fully responsible for getting home and eating a mini muffin and some Bournville though! Fresh start today, OH is away until next Thursday, so I have no excuses for overeating, being lazy, or skipping workouts.
I am determined to leave the 150s behind this round and never see them again!
STEPS 8,581
5/3 147.0 (trend 148.0) I had a slow morning, then made it out for a 6 mile hike. Arrived home really hungry but managed to avoid stuffing my face. I had a little snooze as I've been lacking sleep recently then went to the gym for a lower body session. Didn't manage to do my 3 minutes of planking at the end as I started to feel dizzy. I'm glad to see a drop on the scale, but to be honest I was expecting a bit more as I was well under calories yesterday. Maybe water retention from the training as it's been a week since I last did a leg workout.
STEPS 16,161
5/4 146.8 (trend 147.9) Had a day off the gym as it was sunny and lovely out so I went for a 9.5 mile hike instead. Feeling quite stiff today, I have no idea how @musicsax manages to do so much walking every day! Hats off to you! Calories below target but short on protein again.
STEPS 20,759
5/5 147.0 (trend 147.8) Felt really hungry all day but just about managed to stay within calories. 1.45hrs at the gym doing upper body in the morning, then a 2.5 mile walk around town in the evening. Feeling really stiff again today so maybe I'm holding onto some water. I really need a drop if I'm going to make my goal this round.

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.

5/2 Goal 219.3/Actual 219.8
Moving forward from the last round. I wasn’t able to fast yesterday because my stomach hurt. I wasn’t feeling well so my activity was low. I did work a full day. Today I will concentrate on drinking enough water & I will attempt to continue my fast. I am still behind. I guess I will see how I feel after my coffee & go from there.
5/3 Goal 218.6/Actual 219.4
Still not feeling great, I was up for 2 hours during the night with a very sore stomach. Hopefully this passes soon because I need energy next week to work since the weather will be better. I won’t fast when I am feeling crappy. I just don’t want the added discomfort but maybe it is exactly what my body needs to clear this gastrointestinal virus or whatever is going on. I don’t usually get stuff like this so I don’t even know how to deal with it. I know people usually resort to the BRATs diet for situations like this but none of that fits my macros. I feel like oatmeal would be soothing but I think it is more a comfort food which doesn’t work for my food is fuel new way of life.
5/4 Goal 218.3/Actual 219.2
Slowly, ever so slowly creeping down in the right direction. I slept through the night (thanks to gravol) but still feel nauseous this morning. I ate pasta yesterday which did make my stomach feel settled, but I would rather not eat that. I won’t fast again even though I have been behind for several days until I feel better. As long as the gap stays small I know I can catch up quickly.
5/5 Goal 217.9/Actual 219.6
This is how easy it is to get off track from my goals. I have been working every day. I haven’t been feeling great. So with working & being sick I have not gone to the gym. I have eaten some foods that do not fit my macros, while I have logged most things & calories have been reasonable I am not meeting my targets. Today is a planned “treat day” for cinco de mayo, but since I am feeling better I will go to the gym. I am just having Mexican take out but no margaritas. Tomorrow I will start another extended fast.
