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!

5.22.2023 - 🟰170.4 Had a good weekend with my grandson, but not enough time. Gym tonight and Monday is always the roughest. Thinking I should at least do some cardio or light strength workouts on the weekends to make Monday easier. Let’s rock out these next 10 days and end this month strong! Cheering everyone on!

5’4”, 32 years old, teacher, mom, cyster, and adventurer. I’m tired of my weight limiting my adventures.
*Goals: 253.6 lbs - the lowest weight I’ve been in 8 years. Eventually somewhere in the 160 to 180 range.
*HW - 300 lbs (September 2020)
*RND 223 286.9 / 281.7 lost 5.2 lbs
*RND 224 SW 281.7ish

Round 224 Focus:

1. track everything!
   
2. drink 64oz water daily
   
3. no more than 100 calories over
   

5/22 281.7ish…. Oh my goodness. I forgot to log the last 2 days on round 223. Also, I forgot to weigh in today… we will just go with 281.7 as my start weight… that was yesterday - and yesterday was BAAAAD. I went and saw Willie Nelson live this weekend - which led to a bunch of snacking. Whoops! Back to the grind today. Still a great loss in the last round.

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.

1) Excellent job on the pull ups! I love that you have this goal

2) YES. Food security is not talked about enough when it comes to weight loss. Access to food, type of food, and the lasting physical/cognitive effects (notably a scarcity and hoarding mindset) is HUGE

Like last round, I won't be weighing everyday. But, still tuned in, and still making it happen!

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.

5/21 140 – 11.04 miles walked yesterday and 24 calories over. This was a round of two halves! The first few days I was horrendous, but at least I managed to almost pull it back to the end of last rounds start weight.



SW RND 224

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.

-
5/22 146.8 (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.

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.

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 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 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.

Day, Weight, Comment
5/22 - 155.9
5/23 - 154.3 - Glad to see my work pay off. I fasted until about 1pm as I was in town until then. I even got my license updated as there wasn't a long line for walk ins after BigBro finished his stuff! (it still said I needed contacts or glasses which I don't anymore). Dinner was a healthy pasta primavera recipe for 2. I did manage to make my garlic ginger chicken bowls (with bell pepper and broccoli) during my morning meeting for yesterday, today, tomorrow, and Friday. I've pre-logged all my breakfasts (either fasting or protein shake), lunches (except Thursday for Thirsty Thursday), and dinner for today and tomorrow. I've decided running on Saturday is too risky (if we stay out celebrating graduation I might not wake up in time or feel good enough) so I'm running today, tomorrow (to offset homemade pizza), and Friday. Thursday I'll wake up and, pending weather, will walk the dogs and hop on the bike to get some movement and burn in before everyone wakes up. I also plan to fast until lunch Thursday to help. I think I've got this week all settled out after a lot of writing, erasing, re-writing, and repeating hahaha I'm more likely to succeed if I plan while in a good place mentally than have to make last minute decisions, especially if I'm hungry or tired - eat whatever is easiest and likely junk or skip the workout - nope! We eat the healthy pre-made stuff and do the dang planned exercise.

Previous Day's Comments

5/22 - And back down a bit. I'm shocked to be down, though. I gave into ice cream at lunch. Then, later, realized that the dinner I was making (upon request) was super calorie dense and I'd be over by a significant amount. Fortunately the rain stopped perfectly for me to get a walk in with the pups to not only meet step goal but to reach maintenance (versus surplus). Rain started up again immediately upon getting home and unharnessed. I'm feeling bloated and heavy this morning but overall okay. I didn't run, BF was up and it triggered the dogs to go crazy. I was wide awake from 220-330am and then tossed and turned from then until 615 (I tried to allow myself to sleep in a bit). I'll run tomorrow and debating the rest of the week's runs. Wednesday is pizza (it keeps well enough for a late dinner for BF when he gets home from business about 7-730pm) but Thursday is Thirsty Thursday and likely eating out with StepDaughter and LittleBro once they arrive for the summer. Friday is graduation for BigBro and likely eating out but lunch may be normal (meal prep) as BF and I still have to work. I may just run Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday as Saturday is wedding but not until afternoon. I'll have to shower Saturday anyway, perfect excuse! I'm about to shower real quick to get ready - BigBro needs me at his appointment to verify address for drivers license change and I feel icky and gross from my morning walk (muggy out). I'll pedal on the bike (gently, no sweating after shower!) while I work until my morning meeting and then I'll meal-prep lunches for the week during the meeting.

Good Morning

My why

I 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.

Round 218 SW 232.4 EW 231lbs (-1.4)
Round 219 EW 229lbs (-2)
Round 220 220.2lbs (-8.8) (Extended fast)
Round 221 220.6 (+0.6) (normal after an extended fast)
Round 222 216.3 (-4.3)
Round 223 215.4 (-0.9)


5/22 Goal 215.3 /Actual 216.7
I love it when a challenge ends at the end of a month & starts on a Monday. Just the push I need to accomplish something this month. I will cook ahead today. I entertained thoughts of fasting or even one meal a day but the next 10 days are the busiest days of the year for me so I will weigh/measure/pre portion my food so that I am getting the nourishment that I need. I will control the extras & take morning & evening walks with the dog. This will be a great 10 days!

5/23 Goal 214.9 /Actual 217.4
Jeepers Crow! I really didn’t eat much yesterday but I did have 3 coolers throughout the afternoon. We had a great day getting flowers & cleaning out the pond. I logged everything but obviously the sugar & alcohol did not do me any favours. Today is a new day, it will be a busy one. I started with 10 sun salutations (my compromise since I can’t get to yoga right now) and will take the dog for a morning & evening walk.

5’4”, 32 years old, teacher, mom, cyster, and adventurer. I’m tired of my weight limiting my adventures.
*Goals: 253.6 lbs - the lowest weight I’ve been in 8 years. Eventually somewhere in the 160 to 180 range.
*HW - 300 lbs (September 2020)
*RND 223 286.9 / 281.7 lost 5.2 lbs
*RND 224 SW 281.7ish


Round 224 Focus:

1. track everything!
   
2. drink 64oz water daily
   
3. no more than 100 calories over
   

5/22 281.7ish…. Oh my goodness. I forgot to log the last 2 days on round 223. Also, I forgot to weigh in today… we will just go with 281.7 as my start weight… that was yesterday - and yesterday was BAAAAD. I went and saw Willie Nelson live this weekend - which led to a bunch of snacking. Whoops! Back to the grind today. Still a great loss in the last round.
5/23 Woke up late and forgot to weigh in on my run out of the house. I was way over calories yesterday. I didn’t meet any of my goals yesterday… yikes.

RND 224
SW: 124.8...maintenance range is 118-122 but I'm not sure my body/lifestyle loves it, given that I continuously fail to actually maintain there.

5/22: 125.6, eesh. Really irresponsible weekend leading up to beach vacation starting on Wednesday. TOM also isn't helping me in any way. I'm sure some of this is water since I've hardly been drinking any, so that is one thing I need to step up! Otherwise I need to manage some exercise today for sure. My poor doggos absolutely need a walk if nothing else.

5/23: 123.8 okay, there went some water. This morning I lived my dream of e-biking the boys to daycare. Probably not a huge calorie burn but some heart rate elevation coupled with being outside is a good way to start the day. Busy day today trying to get work in a good place and prepping for vacation. We leave for the beach tomorrow!!

Thanks again everyone for being here for another round! I need to wrap my brain around how to maintain my successful routines while running back and forth between my parents' place and new job and our normal life...especially when parents'/job will be the regular place for most of the summer once the kids are done school and we all move up.

Female - 51yrs - 5'5"
Goal weight - to hang out 145-150
R223 End Weight 5/21 - 166.2

5/22 - 166.6 - got back from my job and Hubby had two cans of my absolute favourite in the history of all time ever Spring Saison from the craft brewery we love up here. Had to have them, I missed it last year so it's been two years since I've had one. Too many treats last night...Nana cookies and great beer.
5/23 - 166.2 - Back home for just few days this week. Groceries today, need to make a plan for my lunches while I'm up at mom and dad's on the weekend. Going to get in a good hike this morning first and some stretching, my back it tight and I'm not sure why.
