JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - Round 225!

Hi, I'm Amanda in Virginia. I'm back from vacation and motivated to make June a good month!
Round 225
RSW: 128.8!!!
RGW: 125 (looks ambitious but I'm hoping that at least a little of the weight is water from eating out a ton over the past week)
Non-scale RG:
⏰Intermittent fast at least 16 hours 7/10 days
💪🏻Intentional workouts 8/10 days
🚫Alcohol-free 5/10 days
(Tracking non-scale goals for the previous day)
6/1 - ⏰💪🏻🚫 124.4! Man, that was a lot of water. 4.4 pounds?! I peed hourly yesterday and a couple times during the night. Amazing what excessive sodium and carbs can make us hold on to! I found out yesterday that my job has a program that gives us free premium membership to some fitness apps, including MyFitnessPal! So after wasting a year not knowing that, I upgraded yesterday. The main feature I wanted was the intermittent fasting timer. I finished a big project at work yesterday and I’m going to reward myself with a good workout today, but I haven’t decided what. Maybe some strength training and a jog with the dogs.
6/2 - ⏰💪🏻🚫 123.2. There goes more water! I guess I didn’t do permanent damage on vacation after all. That’s encouraging! While I’m motivated I’d like to go ahead and get within my maintenance range for the first time in months, please. Heading into the weekend which I always mess up, but I refuse to go too out of control this weekend. DH also got motivated to lose again which helps immensely. Plus we got an induction stove, which we both love cooking on, so we are eating out less overall. In more exciting news, I have the afternoon off today while the kids are in daycare! Summer Fridays! I’m going to go mountain biking for the first time in a while and try to get through some housework and gardening. Happy Friday!
6/3 - 💪🏻 122.2. Surprising but my beers from last night will probably show up later. I did fast most of the day but broke it with a cappuccino before 12. Actually my husband ended that fast early and delayed the start of last night’s by handing me half a beer he wanted to split. I have no willpower. I ate family breakfast this morning but skipped lunch. I’ll probably skip breakfast tomorrow since we’re having my brother’s family over for dinner. I did a treadmill run today after taking the kids to the farmer’s market on the ebike and hauling buckets of water across the yard to fill our baby pool, haha. Parenting these kids keeps me busy but I’m glad I got the extra workout in!

SW Round 225
SW: 129.0
Round Goals: 🥗🌳 Nature walk every day. Eat a salad every day.🌳🥗 No alcohol two days in a row. And log here everyday, even if only to share a check mark on the day.Established habits to maintain: No ultra-processed food, fast food, dairy in any form, or added sugar (unless it's a special occasion and the treat is really worth it). Minimize alcohol and maximize water and tea. Yes to whole foods, plant based, and dishes and treats that are truly comforting for my emotions AND my body that's tied up with them.
GW: 127.0 I think I can reasonably make it two pounds down this round if I really try without letting it stress me out. I've been maintaining at 129 without much effort so that is really encouraging to me that I've gotten good at maintaining and my new lifestyle is finally a healthy one that is pleasurable, sustainable, and most importantly, not stressful.
6/1 128.2 Today marks 7 days of daily nature walks and day 3 of a salad everyday. I'm loving the walking. I'm disliking salad less than before so that's progress. I had mimosas for dessert last night which were so delicious and refreshing. To help me remember that alcohol should be limited always and not just when trying to lose weight I'm instituting a no drinking two days in a row policy. Sometimes I'll go all week without one but sometimes I'll find myself drinking every night again. I don't want to have to quit alcohol for a month again to break the habit so the new rule is to help me keep it from becoming habit. Alcohol should be a treat when consumed responsibly, right? And I would be healthier abstaining completely but I'm not interested in conquering that right now. I am treating it like a birthday cake in the freezer. I'll have a small slice when I want it but to keep it from becoming a daily habit I'll make myself take a night off from having a slice. It's not going bad in the fridge. Maybe that'll turn into every third night, fourth night, once a week? We'll see. I know I feel better when it's a treat and not an expectation.
6/2 129.0 ✔️ really stressful day but followed through with my intentions. Plan for today is to do a gentle walk. A friend was moving apartments and I lifted so much! When she would say that a particular box or piece of furniture was really heavy I got surprised at how easily I lifted it and carried it and set it down without being out of breath or straining. It was so cool to see the real life ramifications of home bodyweight strength training and she complimented me on my strength! It felt so good to be able to be helpful in that way. Who needs men? JK. My husband's superior strength was a necessity with a wardrobe but the two of us did it
6/1 128.2
6/2 129.0
6/3 129.6 I almost didn't weigh in today because I had a desserts fest all afternoon and into the evening. Sugar heavy day but no alcohol yesterday so I'll have a glass at dinner tonight. Planning on an early evening walk since I didn't get out for it yesterday. I've been trying to remind myself to have better posture when I walk and it feels so weird and hard to do but after just a week or so of doing it I can feel soreness in muscles in my deep core, within my back. Those must be the ones working to keep me upright. I never would have guessed that just walking with good posture would end up being like strength training but it seems to be doing something so I'll keep at it. Breakfast and lunch today were lacking greens so a big salad for dinner tonight.

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 225 (my 156th). Aim to get back under and stay under 139 and hopefully lose a 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.

Round 225
SW 139.2
6/1 139.2 – 6.92 miles walked, a fifth of exercise calories eaten back, but 49 carbs over as friend brought a small slice of her 60th birthday cake from the party on Saturday evening, as I had the calories I did indulge.
6/2 139.2 – relieved that number has not gone up; no structured walking yesterday: DS, DIL & little DGDs took me out for afternoon tea as a belated birthday present, then we went out to the Peak District for the little ones to play on the rocks and to enjoy the fresh air & nature, was 920 calories over and I did rein in my choices! (I did take the coffee & walnut cake home to share with DH) Maybe I should have accompanied DS on his 15K run this morning first – no way, I don’t like running!!!
6/3 140.4 – There’s those extra calories. No structured walking again yesterday; lots of other commitments during the day, couldn’t fit it in.

My goal for this round is to just keep showing up and posting here. I did well last round to get back in track but I have been losing focus and dropping out during the last few rounds. I know if I don't post I will gain. I still have around 1 pound to lose to get back to my lowest weight recorded during these challenges so that will be my goal for this round. I will certainly think twice before taking a diet break next time!

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.

Hi Everyone - I am not new to MFP, but I am new to posting. Trying to see if I can really keep myself on track this month of June and beginning of July before heading on long vacation for niece's wedding.
Female, 5'4", 57 years old
HW: 210 (May, 2023)
CW: 152
GW: no idea... I hope I'll know it when I see it in the mirror... I think at least 10 more pounds need to go
Goals: Cardio 5/7 days (I don't think this will be difficult)
Bodyweight Train 3/7 days (I have been doing 1 day/week, telling myself I'll do 2 days/ week... but that hasn't happened)
Log Food 10/10 days (I'm really good on weekdays, not so good on weekends or holidays)
Round 225
6/1: 152 - logged food, walked 30 minutes after lunch, did 60 minute Cardio Dance class after work
6/2: 152 - logged food, walked 30 minutes after lunch (even in this 90 degree heat)
6/3: 154.6 - that's a sad surprise. I have been so frustrated seeing 152 everyday that I was hoping I'd see something different on the scale this morning, but it certainly wasn't that. I did eat two meals out yesterday, totally within calorie limits, and as clean as possible given that it was restaurant food, so I am thinking that this is salt/water retention. Today I have been pounding the water down. Logged food, did 60 minute Zumba class at gym 1st thing this morning. Also this morning I actually felt full before finishing my breakfast. That NEVER happens.

Round 225 GW: 115.4
R225 is going to end just before my CA-see family trip. Let’s stay focused!!!
6/1 – 116.4 ⬇️It’s been a great day:
- Great start to R225!
- My rising Sophomore son had 2 interviews which resulted in 2 summer internships!!! (He’s been applying since November of last year!)
- Great yoga with gf
- Didn’t even have any temptations while friends had their dinner (it’s my FASTing day)
6/2 – 115.6 ⬇️
I did 2 pullups in a row! Woohooo!
(Goal = 9)
Much easier to do when you have 10 less pounds of *kitten* to lift. 😊
6/3 – 115.4 ⬇️
It’s crazy weather here:
- was over 90 degrees for Thursday and Friday, and now it’s so cold that I’m making warm comfort food: Bon Appetit bacon meatloaf: sooooo amazing!!!
I had to cut my walk a little short, as the misting turned into full on rain (but then back to misting) 2.5miles.

6/3 I have made it 3 days logging everything and making sure I do some form of activity even when not in the gym. Today was a gym day. 90 mins of squats, bench, and accessories. The sled was open today so I decided to play with it after I was done with everything else. Good times! Tomorrow is a longer day in the gym and my husband will weigh me tomorrow. I'm hoping that it'll have dropped. He said it went up last week and I'll be horribly disappointed if it's up again. Once I get to 127 I'll be back to weighing myself again6

Forgot to post this at start of Challenge. OW 85.5 kg (65 days ago) GW 72 kg by the end of the year - and sustain it for 2 years!
5/31 81 kg = up 0.5 kg since last weigh in. Boo! Hiss! My plan is to cut out snacks between meals and be ultra scrupulous about tracking.
SW Round 225
6/1 Cos it's already the start of the month where I am. 80.5 kg - poop! poop! eat lots of fiber! - TMI!
6/2 80.3 kg. Not sure of 100% accuracy of scale as it is analog, but I'm too environmentally conscious (and too cheap!) to splash out for a new digital scale. Also SOMEONE keeps shifting the position of the scale, so I keep trying to get it back to the same spot on the bathroom floor. Also I went for a 2 hour walk, which burned up 400 calories, but I only ate an extra 200 over my 1240 limit. The walk was a double bonus because I found a total of .60 cents (.37 US cents) think I'll keep a little jar of all the money I find and buy myself a little reward at the end of the challenge.
6/3 80.3 kg - I forgot to weigh myself before breakfast (pancakes made from scratch, so prob healthier than a mix) Went for a 3 hour walk and had a ham and egg sandwich with black coffee at a cafe - but I passed on the ginger crunch! I found .30 cents (US $0.18) and an Australian $2 coin (???USD) I Have decided I will put any money found plus money saved from passing up ginger crunch and any other snacks and goodies toward renewing my passport, and hopefully, eventually, a trip to Oz - it will be my reward if I can get to my GW and stay there for 2 years.
6/4 80 kg! - yay! First time in 3 years. Raining hard today so mostly stayed inside listening to Wagner and knitting a scarf (I have yarn for a sweater, but won't knit that until GW or I'll have to remake it). I did go to Mass, remembering to fast beforehand this time. After we had a shared lunch of cream of pumpkin soup and ciabatta rolls ... and raspberry slice....
Me to Father: That pink frosting reminds me of St Valentine's Day.
Father: An excellent theological reason for having some (offers me a large piece)
Me: Get away from me, Satan!
He howled .... and I ate the darn thing anyway .... then I stopped at the store on the way home to get milk, and they had crumpets at reduced price .... so I ate the whole packet with butter and honey....
.... I've only had a couple of apples since. Should I go to Confession again now? Or take full advantage until next Sunday?

6/1 145.6 (trend 146.4) New round, new month, let's go!! I really need to push myself harder in June as I've been coasting along for the last 2 months and getting too comfortable. I'm upping my round step target by 15,000 steps and committing to no alcohol until I'm on holiday on 20th. I will go for a 4 mile walk every morning and strength train 4 times per week minimum. I will stick to my calorie target and prioritise nutritious food. Any sneaky bites will be logged, no cheating! I need a breakthrough...
Yesterday was 1.5hr lower body strength training and 4.3 mile morning walk, calories good, alcohol free.
STEPS 12,755
6/2 144.8 (trend 146.2) Yes! Into the lower 140s finally! Lots of peeing yesterday so I must've had a lot of retained water.
Yesterday was 0.5hr upper body strength training and 4.3 mile morning walk, calories good, alcohol free.
STEPS 13,005
6/3 145.0 (trend 146.0) Back up a little, just a normal fluctuation I expect, as I have eaten exactly the same thing for the last 3 days, with the exception of having salty ham instead of chicken yesterday.
Yesterday was 50 minutes lower body strength training and 4.1 mile morning walk, calories good, alcohol free.
STEPS 13,745
6/4 144.4 (trend 145.8) Glad to see things are steadily moving in the right direction, just need to keep it up. OH wants to do a barbecue tonight, I'm not keen on having the temptation, as this will mean beers in the sunshine, which I find so hard to resist. He's been away visiting friends this weekend so I've found it a lot easier to stick to my plan. Hopefully, as he's already had a fun weekend, I can talk him out of it. Being on a calorie deficit can be sooo boring at times!
Yesterday was a rest day from the gym. 4.4 mile morning walk, calories good, alcohol free.

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 225 (my 156th). Aim to get back under and stay under 139 and hopefully lose a 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.

SW 139.2
6/1 139.2 – 6.92 miles walked, a fifth of exercise calories eaten back, but 49 carbs over as friend brought a small slice of her 60th birthday cake from the party on Saturday evening, as I had the calories I did indulge.
6/2 139.2 – relieved that number has not gone up; no structured walking yesterday: DS, DIL & little DGDs took me out for afternoon tea as a belated birthday present, then we went out to the Peak District for the little ones to play on the rocks and to enjoy the fresh air & nature, was 920 calories over and I did rein in my choices! (I did take the coffee & walnut cake home to share with DH) Maybe I should have accompanied DS on his 15K run this morning first – no way, I don’t like running!!!
6/3 140.4 – There’s those extra calories. No structured walking again yesterday; lots of other commitments during the day, couldn’t fit it in.
6/4 141.4 – Ughh !! Don’t ask !! Pick myself back up and start again. Went to Alton Towers with all the family, spent the day around the little children’s area, all DGC had a brilliant day on their rides as did their grand/parents !! DH, SIL & myself did sneak a cheeky ride on Nemesis as the queue was only 5 minutes long – stunning!! Consciously ate my own picnic & chose a 98 calorie ice lolly over a 298 white chocolate Magnum, but when I got home !!! 7 miles walked.

6/1 218.8
6/2 217.7 I decided to make a fasting calendar for the month. I think this will help me. Part of my problem is food waste. I cook enough for several meals & I am the only one that eats leftovers. This month I will do food prep only so meals are quick to throw together.
6/3 218.6 Not sure why I popped up today but I will be fasting until supper tomorrow. I may allow some small things (like celery & hummus) but I will not be eating any full meals.
6/4 218.2 I feel like the scale is moving in the right direction. I was sooooo hungry yesterday so I did not fast. I just could not do it. Trying again today. I will also prep for meals for the upcoming week. I have simple quick meals planned (fast fry steak, mushrooms & eggs, spicy garlic shrimp with broccoli & spinach & a taco salad (no cheese this week)). I will have everything cut up so the cooking time will be under 15 minutes. Easy peasy & quicker than take out even!

Hello! New month...new round! I need to really work on consistency with tracking...EVERYDAY! It's tricky with being back and forth to my parents' place, which will continue this month. We leave for a big family trip to England and Scotland in 39 days and I would really like to be down to 160 by then so I don't need to worry about vacation gain taking me back up into the 170s, I never want to see them again. BUT...I seem to be stuck in a rut the last two weeks losing and gaining the same two pounds...bouncing up and down between 165 and 167. Time to break through that! Hoping my Dog Walk Challenge for the Canadian Cancer Society will get me out walking twice a day. Here's to keepin' on keepin' on!!
Female - 51yrs - 5.5"
Goal Weight - to hang out somewhere 145-150
R224 End weight - 167.2
6/1 - 166.6 - still in the 166 rut. We start our 50km Dog Walk Challenge for the month of June today. Hoping to get in a 4km hike this morning and then out for another 2ishkm tonight. Mack and I plan to blow past 50km and hopefully double it.
6/2 - 166.2 - Got a hike and a walk in yesterday....5.73/50km. Lots of stuff to do around the house before we head up to the weekend jobs this evening so morning walk will probably be shorter today, but hopefully we can get out tonight for another one when we get to mom and dad's.
6/3 - DNW - forgot to bring my scale with me so will not be weighing in until Monday. Food yesterday...not bad...but a few beers on the dock when we got here. Walked 3.27km with Mack so we are at 9/50km for our challenge. I also have already been up and walked 2 more with him before I head to work today...I can't remember the last time I went out before breakfast!!
6/4 - DNW - no scale until tomorrow. Busy day at work and the Mackadoodle swam all day so he was a tired old man dog...so no extra walk when I got home but we are at 11.14/50km. Weather has been beautiful....and beers on the dock for sunset is impossible to resist somehow. Food calories were pretty good thou so...balance....maybe?

6/04 - 154.3 - The best part is that I feel (and look) really bloated and this is my scale reading -- I hope that it means I've lost some by sticking to my goals despite being unwell. I'm still battling lymph node issues and now my sinuses are filled with mucus (not in the way of sinus infection, thankfully). I can tell, though, I'm on the mend as of this morning. Less pain and less swelling in my neck. Whew! Didn't get a chance to check in yesterday as it was our monthly Fire Dept Meeting, training, and then we were in charge of leading vehicle maintenance so we scheduled that after lunch. Once done with maintenance, we went swimming until dinnertime, which we realized we didn't thaw anything so I made my homemade pizza. I did listen to my body for lunch, only eating half the wrap and dinner, leaving the last slice I grabbed on my plate rather than eating it because it was there. NSV for sure, on both accounts! Both kiddos are shocked as last summer I was the ONE person who almost always finished their plate but not anymore. I did the same with steak Saturday night - didn't finish my plate when last summer I absolutely wouldn't have wanted the food to go to waste (who was it that made the garbage disposal analogy? I'm not a garbage disposal!) Today is smoked pork loin. Need to go to the store for a couple small items and will grab some sides as those haven't been figured out yet and will pre-log. Also taking the dogs for a walk before the forecasted storms roll in this afternoon/evening once BF wakes up and I can get into something other than PJs and slippers to go out gallivanting in haha!

Previous Day's Comments6/01 - Sodium bloat from dinner. Also woke up with a swollen lymph node just on one side and it's uncomfortable to swallow. I pulled out my herbs and capsules to help boost myself a bit to get through this. Hoping it doesn't last long. Godson had strep on Saturday and I was around him beforehand so I'm hoping it's simply that (bacterial) versus a viral infection of sorts. Bacterial is much easier to deal with. Also hoping it doesn't impact my run I'm about to go do. I will take it easy and if I need to stop, I'll walk as my body needs to not overdo it.
6/02 - One swollen lymph node turned to 2 last night. Woke up with quite a bit of pressure pain and it was nearly impossible to swallow. I got up at 2am to do all the things to help relieve symptoms and curled up on the couch. Repeated that once before I gave in and here I am checking in. I'm planning on walking the dogs once I post and hopefully the fresh air will help a bit. I feel okay other than my lower sinus cavity and throat so hopefully I caught it early enough and it won't progress from here.

6/2 194.6 I'm not off to a great start but I knew going into this that I was starting from a place of little self control. Yesterday ended up being a really stressful day at work. DH commiserated with me by taking us out for ice cream. I could have said no.....
6/3 195.6 OMG
6/4 195.0 Yesterday we did a 20-mile gravel bike race we had been training for for several weeks. It's the most athletic thing I've ever done! Now that that's over, I plan to focus specifically on weight loss through diet and exercise.

6/01 - 183.8
Hot hot hot. You’d think I’d sweat a few pounds off! 😊 Happy June! Tomorrow I go for my evaluation for cataract surgery. Not very thrilled about it.
6/02 - 184.8
We had a very salty Mexican-ish salad for dinner, so I know this is water. Still depressing. I woke up with a huge adrenaline rush because of today’s eye evaluation (and, more, upcoming cataract surgery). I skipped breakfast, and still don’t feel great. Maybe a dog walk before we go will calm me down a bit. I’m sure my bp is up.

6/04 - 184.2
Apparently I forgot to log in yesterday. Figures — my schedule was off all day. Anyway…my cataract surgeries are scheduled for July 3 and 10. I’m nervous, but not quite as weirded out as I was before Friday’s evaluation. I am completely weirded out by my weight, though. After I walk the pupper and do some weeding, I’m going to sit down and make a new plan and talk to DH about how I eat and how I need — NEED — to change a few things that are grounded in eating together on his schedule. He likes to eat early (5 pm) and I realized yesterday that we essentially eat every four hours — 7:30-8, 12-1, 5. So no wonder I crave snacks around 9! I think I would do better eating my dinner around 7-8 (which is how I ate all my life before I met him). A lot of our conversation goes on over meals, of course, so I don’t want to miss that. Stuff to figure out!

SW Round 225
SW: 129.0
Round Goals: 🥗🌳 Nature walk every day. Eat a salad every day.🌳🥗 No alcohol two days in a row. And log here everyday, even if only to share a check mark on the day.Established habits to maintain: No ultra-processed food, fast food, dairy in any form, or added sugar (unless it's a special occasion and the treat is really worth it). Minimize alcohol and maximize water and tea. Yes to whole foods, plant based, and dishes and treats that are truly comforting for my emotions AND my body that's tied up with them.6/1 128.2
GW: 127.0 I think I can reasonably make it two pounds down this round if I really try without letting it stress me out. I've been maintaining at 129 without much effort so that is really encouraging to me that I've gotten good at maintaining and my new lifestyle is finally a healthy one that is pleasurable, sustainable, and most importantly, not stressful.
6/1 128.2 Today marks 7 days of daily nature walks and day 3 of a salad everyday. I'm loving the walking. I'm disliking salad less than before so that's progress. I had mimosas for dessert last night which were so delicious and refreshing. To help me remember that alcohol should be limited always and not just when trying to lose weight I'm instituting a no drinking two days in a row policy. Sometimes I'll go all week without one but sometimes I'll find myself drinking every night again. I don't want to have to quit alcohol for a month again to break the habit so the new rule is to help me keep it from becoming habit. Alcohol should be a treat when consumed responsibly, right? And I would be healthier abstaining completely but I'm not interested in conquering that right now. I am treating it like a birthday cake in the freezer. I'll have a small slice when I want it but to keep it from becoming a daily habit I'll make myself take a night off from having a slice. It's not going bad in the fridge. Maybe that'll turn into every third night, fourth night, once a week? We'll see. I know I feel better when it's a treat and not an expectation.
6/2 129.0 ✔️ really stressful day but followed through with my intentions. Plan for today is to do a gentle walk. A friend was moving apartments and I lifted so much! When she would say that a particular box or piece of furniture was really heavy I got surprised at how easily I lifted it and carried it and set it down without being out of breath or straining. It was so cool to see the real life ramifications of home bodyweight strength training and she complimented me on my strength! It felt so good to be able to be helpful in that way. Who needs men? JK. My husband's superior strength was a necessity with a wardrobe but the two of us did it
6/3 129.6 I almost didn't weigh in today because I had a desserts fest all afternoon and into the evening. Sugar heavy day but no alcohol yesterday so I'll have a glass at dinner tonight. Planning on an early evening walk since I didn't get out for it yesterday. I've been trying to remind myself to have better posture when I walk and it feels so weird and hard to do but after just a week or so of doing it I can feel soreness in muscles in my deep core, within my back. Those must be the ones working to keep me upright. I never would have guessed that just walking with good posture would end up being like strength training but it seems to be doing something so I'll keep at it. Breakfast and lunch today were lacking greens so a big salad for dinner tonight.
6/2 129.0
6/3 129.6
6/4 129.6 Scale is moving nowhere but I've been exploring the outside more and did a trail hike I haven't been on in 3 years. Afterwards I saw my lower body reflection in a tinted store window and my thought was, 'that looks like a fit person's legs.' What a great chance to see myself in shorts how others see me. I'm trying to see myself with the same perception in my mirror at home. My knee is a little painful today so I'll do strengthening exercises today and back to walking tomorrow. My beer last night was a little heavy and I left half in the bottle completely voluntarily. Win!

Round 225
June 1 – June 10, 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 125.8
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126
Figure out maintaining, and continue to work on best nutrition and exercise.
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!

SW: 125.8
Day/Weight/Comment
6/1 (Mass) – DNW Went on a mini bender last night. While I did track every last bite, I certainly am having regrets. I slept poorly. Kept being “hot”, and wonder if that is from a digestive system trying to cope with the contents. I had reflux again overnight, also a known result of evening food, and I feel disgusting and loaded down this morning. Today will be a normal day. We’ll see what the scale sees tomorrow. From a caloric point of view, my overage in calories cannot create more than a 1/4 of a pound of actual body weight. Next time I head into a bender, I need to remember these observations and how the non-scale consequences are worse than the scale.
6/2 (Mass) – 126.0 (Update for yesterday, I broke down and stepped on the scale after posting. I was 127.8!) Still no exercise yesterday. Spent the day dealing with parents’ needs, home for fast dinner and housework. Today is me, my home, and husband day. Going to get exercise as soon as my watch charges enough (ie soon). Calories were on target yesterday, even if the nutritional aspects were terrible (coffee, Nature valley oatmeal square, then peanut butter cookie, chocolate chocolate chip cookie, coffee made up breakfast and lunch).
6/3 (Mass) – 126.2 Not sure what is up with me this round, and since getting home. I am behaving destructively. I even stopped bothering to track after dinner last night. That is something I do not think I have missed doing since Jan 1, when I returned to MFP. Gotta figure this out. I think it is me and maintenance. We have a confused relationship.
6/4 (Mass) – 125.8 Gave maintaining some thinking. Hopefully, defining it will help. Going aim to maintain between 124 to 126 lbs. These range is both lower and higher than I have considered.
Yesterday, though nutrition was again impacted by another full day at my parents assisted living, total calories stayed on target.
Edit: before posting today, I got my butt out the door. Ran 4 songs, walked 1, repeated, and then mix of walk/run until home. 3.4 miles.

06/03 -194.6- (Trend weight 195.0) Lots of sleep last night (finally!) A nice little drop on the scale after a day of well-planned meals. However, that small bowl of cereal (unplanned) last night put me over on everything. I’ve got to plan snacks better! I was craving sweets so bad and my sugar-free dark cacao chocolate squares just weren’t going to do it.
06/04 -195.4- (Trend weight 195.0) Another day or mis-step finally caught up to me? Perhaps. After all, yesterday was a relatively good day. However, the key word is “relatively”, isn’t it? Gotta re-think my nightly dinners as it’s leaving me too hungry at night. Hunger my snacks do not help to relieve. I’m not eating until 9 – 10:00 pm as it is. Thought it would help to eat later and have been doing that for a week now. No help. Healthy fat snacks usually really help me but don’t seem to be doing it right now. I’ve got to re-think my whole eating patterns.
