5/22 - 184
Nothing new.
5/23 - 183.8
I have a lot of busyness coming up this week in the mornings — this morning, Booker has class and will take his Urban Canine Good Citizen test. Tomorrow a zoom meeting with my writers group. Friday mammogram and bone density scan. I guess I have Thursday to work in the garden. 🙂 Anyway, Sunday I baked a cake, which DH asked for and, honestly, I’d been craving. It was good and I feel I got that out of my system for a while with minimal damage. So this afternoon I’m planning to get various salad fixings ready for easy use the rest of the week—chop chop chop. We’re having gorgeous weather, clear and just verging on hot. Perfect for all the planting and weeding I need to do. I thought I’d share a pic of one of my favorite easy summer lunches—makes me think of the time I spent studying in Cairo wayyyy back. Stuffed grape leaves (I love My Greek Mezze brand from Greece), tomato, hard-boiled egg, good olives. Sometimes I add hummus (Cedar’s brand is my favorite) and/or sliced bell pepper or celery. Savory, low cal, satisfying. Have a great day. All!

Round 224 – May 22, 2023 –
Wishing everyone a great round! I saw someone else mention 4th of July as a good milestone to look forward to.
“Your body deserves this” is still the quote that keeps me going.
Female, 5’8” , 50ish
Highest Weight: 256lbs
Ultimate Goal: 180lbs
Starting weight for R224: 218.0 lbs
R224 Goal Weight: 217
Focus is not overdoing exercise.
[ Spoiler ]1st round (223)– Lost .7 lbs. Body fat % went down by 2 basis points. Method was shake/bar, a meal with just protein and veggies, then dinner eating a “reasonable meal” with carb/protein with husband. Weekends included small servings of food eating out except Sunday had a big fatty pasta dish. Learned – Overexercise habit costs me 2 days of active living and the fatigue triggers me to overeat.[ /Spoiler ]
Day-Weight-Comment about previous day
5/22 – Monday – 218.0. Planned and stuck to a shorter bike ride. It’s weird that my weight went down a little after eating high calorie yesterday. Maybe, just maybe, I should eat more on weekends when hubby and I are out and about for hours. Will see what happens next week. Dare I try adding strength training? Would that violate my “no overdoing it”.
5/23 – Tuesday – 218.2. Not a meaningful change. Went on another bike ride and kept it short but on Tuesday afternoon feeling like I was hit by a bus. Pain only started in the afternoon and did move and stretch so not sure what’s going on. Could be the old inflammation problem.
5/24 - Wed - Since my notes here are about the previous day, I'll just say now that the inflammation and pain on Tuesday triggered me to grab some food to plan to not be in calorie deficit that day. I was getting over a cold/virus and it just might have been too soon to cut my calories. I see a doctor on Friday.6 -
Hi, I'm Charissa - Round 224
Thank you, again, QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!
Round 223 was frustrating. I lost 2.4 of the 3.5 that I gained in round 222. Was hoping to erase it all but, nope. My goal weight of 199 by 6/19 is probably not going to happen. Less than a month away, I would need to consistently lose 4lbs a week. There was only one round since I started that I lost 4lbs or more but then gained it right back the next round....
Taking this round 1 day at a time. This round includes the Memorial Day Holiday. I need to start planning for how I will handle it NOW!

Day/Weight/Comment
05/21 …..196.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
05/22 -196.8- (Trend weight 195.2) Thanks @musicsax for covering the hosting of this challenge while quiltingjaine is enjoying her cruise. In regards to my stats today, It feels like I’m on a rollercoaster that I can’t get off of. Focus, Donna, Focus!
05/23 -197.0- (Trend weight 195.5) I’ve really put some thought into this and decided it is a cross between laziness and depression. I just don’t feel like meal planning or cooking. I have a grab ‘n go mentality right now. When my depression sets in I really have a hard time following through with anything. No focus. Feet dragging the ground. A bit listless. I don’t have the energy to exercise, or plan, or research or do any of those things I normally do. I’ve really got to pull this together.

Round 224: JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS
Hi, 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.

- Daily movement

Round 224 GW: 117.0
5/22: 118.6 ⬇️Staying focused!
I’m much better when I have a hard deadline with a set goal to achieve by then.
4 separate pull-ups this morning!
I think 1 reason I’ve struggled with food is because I grew up poor.
So I have trouble with wasting food, or trying to get my money’s worth at buffets, or like today, at my daughter’s high school concert there’s potluck refreshments. Usually, I would get a few items EVEN IF I’M NOT HUNGRY. How can I not take food when it’s there and “free” (when I donated ~$20 in watermelon/fruit salad, plus our entrance fees)?
So I am working on not focusing on the food. I don’t need to take food, just because it’s free and it’s there. I’m there to watch my daughter perform, not for the free food.
5/23: 117.2 ⬇️
TMI – that loss is mainly from the bathroom
What’s working for me now is to basically just eat 2 – 3 meals a day, and no snacking in between or at night.
**BUT** the diet makes me nervous about going out to eat or getting together with friends involving food.
When it’s just me and my house/family, I have total control of what I make/serve. But at a restaurant, unless I just eat plain salads, AND forgo drinks, I’m afraid to give into temptations.
==> ==> How do you manage your social life while working on losing weight?
I don’t mean special occasions.
My son’s birthday is tomorrow, so I’ll enjoy a lovely dinner with family, AND looking forward to amazing tres leches cake.

I have been unreliable and inconsistent for 6 rounds now and as a result I have gained almost 4 pounds. I must get this back on track now or I will be back to over 200 pounds in no time. So I am going to: calorie count, get 20 active minutes each day, and I am going to start writing a journal of my thoughts around food when I am feeling mentally weak.
SW RND 224: 166.7 lbs
5/22: 165.3 lbs
This drop is just because I was eating much less than I have been eating recently. I wrote in my journal in the afternoon when I really wanted to eat even though I wasn't hungry. I think seeing my thoughts on paper really helped to focus my mind on my goals.
5/23: 164.9 lbs
I really wanted some chocolate while I was walking through the shops but I resisted the temptation. Recently if I wanted a treat, there would be a millisecond between the thought and eating it. I am working on increasing the time from thought to action to give myself time to consider my goals and rethink what I want in that moment.

5/23 – 149.4 lbs – Hi folks. I’m back from my diet break. I was feeling okay, psychologically, but I weighed myself this morning (my shorts felt tight yesterday) and I am dangerously close to the limit I set for myself in February. I said I would stay under 150 lbs for one year, and if I can accomplish that, I will start the process of getting a circumferential body lift. According to MFP my weight has been trending up since April 14th. I need to check myself before I wreck myself. Lol. I also saw pics of myself from the weekend – I’m still fat. ☹ So, I am pretty angry/grouchy/annoyed/scared/ etc. Why can’t I just be normal and have a normal body? Why is everything so hard?? Anyway, enough of wallowing in my self pity. I better get back to it. I have set my goal weight back down to 135 lbs, and set some daily goals for myself for this round. I hope everyone has been doing well while I was away – physically, emotionally and mentally. I missed y’all and reading about your progress. 😊

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.

Excited to start a new round. I love the feeling of starting afresh every 10 days with a clean slate. My goal this round is to tighten up my logging so it is more accurate (weighing as opposed to eyeballing). And to be outside enjoying the warm weather!

I participated in this challenge way back in the beginning like 2017-2018 and it was a fantastic way to keep me mindful. I got down to a healthy weight, was exercising most days, and feeling great. Life unfortunately took some not so great turns and I just wasn't in the right mindset to keep up. Thankfully things have been going well for some time now, but my weight has bounced around. I am finally ready to get back into taking care of myself and being more kind to my body.

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 224 (my 155th).
Aim to get back under and stay under 140 and hopefully lose another pound. Need to stay 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!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

5/22 139.8 – 8.5 miles walked yesterday, ate all exercise calories plus 87. Nice to see that under 140 figure again, now to stay there!
5/23 138.8 – tad over 8 miles walked yesterday, 5% exercise calories eaten back. Weighed 3 times & each time got the same weight 😊, frightened to feel a bit smug with this as this can be a trigger to binge, but by entering it here I am determined to not let this happen.
5/24 139.6 – 9.1 miles, 60% exercise calories eaten back.
10 days without a binge !

5/22 146.8 (trend 146.3) After a couple of days at a new low weight, I've bounced back up, which is frustrating, to say the least. Went for a lovely 5 mile countryside walk then stopped at a village pub for lunch, where I had chicken breast, chips and salad. It's probably the chips that have caused the spike on the scale. In the evening OH decided he wanted to try and make nettle soup, so we went for another little walk and foraged a load of stinging nettles, which was fun. The soup was very tasty, bright green, and full of vitamins.
STEPS 14,880
5/23 147.4 (trend 146.4) Not good! I had a bit of a binge last night on sweet chilli rice crackers, which were very salty, plus no tmi this morning. 1.5 hrs upper body at the gym but short on steps as I didn't find time for a walk.
STEPS 4,999
5/24 146.4 (trend 146.4) A bit better but I'm annoyed with myself for skipping my walk again. 1hr lower body at the gym and within calories, no tmi.

@39flavours and @tishawj - Thanks so much for welcoming me back! I hope you were well, while I was away. I am glad to be getting back to some kind of routine! It is kinda hard, when you've been out of your routine, for awhile...

5/23 – 149.4 lbs – Hi folks. I’m back from my diet break. I was feeling okay, psychologically, but I weighed myself this morning (my shorts felt tight yesterday) and I am dangerously close to the limit I set for myself in February. I said I would stay under 150 lbs for one year, and if I can accomplish that, I will start the process of getting a circumferential body lift. According to MFP my weight has been trending up since April 14th. I need to check myself before I wreck myself. Lol. I also saw pics of myself from the weekend – I’m still fat. ☹ So, I am pretty angry/grouchy/annoyed/scared/ etc. Why can’t I just be normal and have a normal body? Why is everything so hard?? Anyway, enough of wallowing in my self pity. I better get back to it. I have set my goal weight back down to 135 lbs, and set some daily goals for myself for this round. I hope everyone has been doing well while I was away – physically, emotionally and mentally. I missed y’all and reading about your progress. 😊
5/24 – 148 lbs – Moving in the right direction! I am 13 lbs to goal. I can do this! 😊 I did not do very well in terms of meeting my daily goals, yesterday. I barely had any fluids all day and I didn’t walk the dog even once (hubby is here and he took care of it, as I was feeling very overwhelmed about everything) so my step count was BLAH! The only thing I did accomplish was attend work for my full work-day, but even with that I was pretty unproductive. I only was able to do the “urgent” things that came up, not the other stuff that is on my to-do list. I guess my goal for today is just to do a bit better in everything than I did yesterday, even if I can’t hit my daily goals. I guess it is not shocking that I will need to sort of gear up to things, again. One thing I need to think about doing is some batch cooking (which I’d need to do groceries for, first). Some of you may have noticed that Jenny Craig went out of business! So no more Jenny food for me. I better look up some recipes. Lol. Well, I better get out there and walk the dog. Have a great day, everyone! 😊

In for another round! Love the accountability and short timeline ☺️ Started my journey last April at 167. Currently 120.4 and aiming for 115. I am sooooo close!!!! May decide to go for 110 when I get there 😂 I’m a 37 year old female, 4’11” and live in Nova Scotia 🦞

May 22 - 119.3 - (120.9 trend) breaking into the 110’s like the kool aid man! 😂😂😂 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Taking the kids for lunch and a movie this afternoon… trick will be to maintain this drop! I have already scoped out the menu and planned my lunch so off to a good start.
May 23 - 119.3 - (120.7 trend) very happy to have maintained after a day of fun with kids.
May 24 - 119.3 - (120.4 trend) It’s funny how after a doing a couple rounds you can really start to see trends in how you lose weight. I’m noticing I seem to get “stuck” at a certain weight for 3 or 4 days before a get a drop. This is day 3 at 119.3… so hoping tomorrow is my day. Lol

Round 22
May 22 - May 31, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW current MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
CW 127.2
GW Clueless…….
Goal for Round 224 – Have upped calories to 1500, and adding intentionally eating back some exercise calories. Looking to glide into maintenance. Meanwhile, in the process, I am hoping to return to the 126.X numbers I saw for a couple days in round 223.
Continuing to diversify exercise, while keeping up with walking/running. Harder part to doing something every day.
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
5/22 – 127.0 (Mass) calories great yesterday, no exercise. Checking out the menu for dining out yesterday, and ordered from the “small bites” section. Very trackable and spot on. I found another benefit of wearing Invisalign. Great tool for “claiming” you can’t eat or drink something. Associated with friends yesterday, and every time I turned around they were trying to get me to eat or drink something that I did.... not..... want. Hubby knew I had more flexibility than I was claiming but thankfully knew not to out me. I am so beyond having to eat or drink something to make some other person satisfied. Enough! Thanks for letting me vent.
5/23 – 127.4 (Mass) no exercise, and calorie wise was a mess. I just seemed to need a reset day. I’m actually not that concerned as long as today is on track.
5/24 – 127.4 (Mass) Very ok with this number today. While I did exercise yesterday AND was under on calories, last night was a pasta dinner night, and something I learned about myself over the years is pasta for dinner leads to an uptick the following day. While doing WW, I learned to never have pasta the day before weigh-in day. Hubby notes the same issue. Shifting back to Maine later today, so starting tomorrow is a different identical scale for a week.
