The jump was expected. Tomorrow is the big weigh in. We're taking a flight with a weight limit, and we have to step on the scale in front of everybody. I'm really nervous. I don't want to screw it up for my family. I had hoped to be another five pounds below where I am, but I'm trying not to berate myself for it. I hope it goes ok4 -
65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 229 (my 160th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round.
Goal this round is yet again the same as last; to get back under and stay under 139. Holiday to Menorca is now in 63 days, if I donβt crack on Iβll be needing to purchase a bigger size in holiday clothes and I do not want to do that. So, 63 days, 6 rounds at a pound per round should easily get me to where I want to be, only I can do it, Iβve done it before so I can do it again if I knuckle down!! Really try 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, itβs 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 RND 229 138.8
7/11 138.8 β 9.4 miles walked, no exercise calories eaten back. A good start to the round, now to stay under 139!
7/12 138.8 β 8.79 miles walked, a third of exercise calories eaten back.
7/13 139.8 β 11.07 miles walked, all exercise calories eaten back. Hopefully this is last nights pasta dish (high in carbs) β left overs for tonight.
7/14 141 β uggh!!! No structured walking as childminding day for little DGS, ate over calories!
7/15 142.4 - 2 days binge totally wipes out 6 days of sticking to plan; now I have more ground to make up to my holidays, when will I learn!!?? 57 days to holiday and twice as much to lose as I had on Wednesday. No structured walking as persistent rain all day, but 2 hours of dancing yesterday evening, stopped only to visit the Ladies !! Iβm starting again today!! Try to salvage something from the round.
7/16 141 β Food & drink was text book which shows on the scales, but again no structured walking due to weather; we normally walk to see MIL and then walk for a further 7+ miles, but due to the rain we took the car and then went on to town to do some errands which we had been putting off whilst enjoying the dry weather & then chores at home on return, so a productive day. Today will be more of a challenge as we travel up to DS for lunch but, looking forward to seeing him & family.
7/17 140 β stayed on track with portion control at DSβs, and didnβt feel hungry for the rest of the day so only a pear & banana eaten at tea time after the return journey home. Only 38 minutes of structured walking managed, 113 calories over.
7/18 139.4 β down below end of last round weight. 10.92 miles walked, less than 10% exercise calories eaten back. Now to keep this 3 day consistently going, would like to end round below start weight. 2 days to go.
7/19 139.8 β 9.51 miles walked 40% exercise calories eaten back.

I used to wear one of those rubber bracelets that said "Whatever It Takes" on my wrist, so that I could look at it every time I felt the need to eat whatever it was that I wanted to binge on.
@musicsax - Me too! So many things I think I want, and then they don't even taste memorable. Only thing I remember is that I didn't do what I should have done - walk away!
@justanotherjen13 - hugs to you as well! I don't think anybody feels great about throwing away food... but I do it if it means I'll be better off without it. It has taken me decades to figure out how much is just enough when I make food, so we keep very very little in the way of leftovers in our fridge, with the exception of my meal prepped lunches that nobody else in my household wants. We always have plenty of veggies... so if someone is still hungry after their 1 chicken breast, they can load up on salad. I have given up trying to please all of the eaters in my home... and they're ok with it. Your health is incredibly important!!! You are irreplaceable!!
@Machias1949 - I guess Maine better watch out because I too am heading there in 10 days! You New Englanders may never be the same again
@SModa61 - I am so so sorry you are going through that with your mom. My MIL had dementia for the final several years of her life, and it was just heartbreaking. She was a stubborn headstrong woman and it was so very hard for my DH to take that control away. We probably didn't take her out of her home soon enough for her own health... but kept trying to honor her wishes. Hugs to you!!
@bringit2023 It is awful it watch. The big thing I have learned and will share, geriatrics should never be taking Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride (think Benadryl, tylenol PM, or the like). The geriatric psychiatrist stated that the first step in evaluating my mom is to get the effects of her tylenol PM out of her system. It apparently can cause agitation, anxiety, confusion so we need it gone so he can see her unaltered baseline. Bringit, thanks for your kind words. Note: later in the day the geriatric PCP was equally upset to learn about the Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride. None of us had any idea.3 -
Round 229
July 11 - 20, 2023
61 year old female, 5β5β. 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 β 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 β 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126
Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.
History:Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two βkidsβ, 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 βall in or notβ person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing 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
7/11 (Maine) β 126.6 (Renpho 125.6) I guessing that is a result for lots of advil and Tylenol combine with a dinner of restaurant Pad thai. :β( Worked on the contents of my parents condo in Maine for the day. They were last able to travel there in 2019, before COVID. It is another hoarded home (not TV level). The trash and recycling dumpsters on the property open at chest high. Therefore one must open the lid with one hand and lift the disposed items to that height and up and over. I think the lifting with twisting of heavy containers did me in. Once I get through this recovery, it is clear my core needs more attention.
7/12- (Mass) β 126.8 (Renpho 126.6) One thing I have noticed about myself is that back pain (or menstrual pain when I used to have it) is a trigger for me to eat/binge. Last night was beyond not good behavior, and I am still loading up on advil and Tylenol. Today, going to pre-track my day and get control before I do real damage. Sister is also coming tomorrow to stay with me for three days while working with my parents. That could be a whole other trigger. Lots to get a handle on.
7/13- (Mass) β 125.8 (Renpho 125.6)
7/14- (Mass) β 124.2 (Renpho 124.4) Advil is out of my system, and have eaten reasonably past two days. First day was slightly below βweigh lossβ target, and the second above, but still below βmaintenanceβ target. It is great to understand cause and effects so help prevent a panic, to which I might respond poorly. No exercise is happening. Sad that the nature of this summer and obligations can impact that so much. But unlike 2021, I will keep control of my weight, regardless.
7/15- (Mass) β 123.0 (Renpho 122.8)
7/16- (Mass) β 123.4 (Renpho 123.2) Crazy busy. Sis is staying with me and we are working with my parents to de-hoard their house. They have been out of it since Nov 2021. It is ridiculous what is inside. Back there again today. Later this week, it will fall upon me to transport everything to recycling and/or trash. It will take multiple trips with my SUV.
7/17- (Mass) β 123.2 (Renpho 123.2) Sister flies home in an hour (it is now 6 am). I thoroughly expected to have struggled to stay under 126 with a guest in the home and uncontrolled obligations. I guess I am glad to have been wrong. My exercise is sadly falling apart over the summer (I think I said that already). That happened in 2021 as well. It is very disappointing. I had planned for summer to be my chance to step up my game, not backslide. Calorie aspect, is holding on β¦β¦.. for now. I keep remembering 2021 falling apart which turned into the gain I addressed with you all from Jan to May. These posts are great in that I take a minute to sit and put in words where I am at. Thanks all!!
7/18- (Mass) β 124.2 (Renpho 124.0) Spent most of the day organizing and prepping notes for my parents three Dr appointments today, and one tomorrow. Putting together all their medication lists, issues/complaints and the like. In addition, today my mother, for the first time, is seeing a Geriatric psychiatrist to get his views on what we see as dementia developing. He is a lead researcher at a top US hospital and my daughterβs boss. My mom is getting to βcut the lineβ to see him. Consequently, I do not want to waste a minute of his time. Oh, my mother has no idea of the real reason (dementia) that she is meeting with him. Anyhow, box of chocolates and last ΒΎ of container of Bryers ice cream are both gone, from late last night. Unfortunately that still happens, but fine if stays occasional.
7/19- (Mass) β 122.6 (Renpho 122.4) One possible outcome from a difficult day. Morning started rough but went amazingly well. Mom got overtired and the PCP appointments were challenging to handle, then the PCP had my father whisked away by ambulance to the ER. Consequently I now needed to take on new obligations for my mother. THEN my older sister calls and is second guessing all the medical decisions of the doctors. It got ridiculous enough that I hung up the phone on her. I couldnβt take another minute. Overnight, the word is my father will be in the hospital βseveral daysβ. My mother is going to be a mess.
Apologies to all, I am finding it challenging to read group posts this last days. I hope to catch up soon. I do see those posts that I am tagged in.

07/19 - 152.0 - Shocked as my tummy looks huge and feels quite squishy and not in the bloated type of way. I did remember to take my lactose pills to help offset all the cheese from last night so that's probably helping with the weight. I tried my best to overestimate calories and I was under by nearly 300 but that should make up for anything I didn't estimate properly (which would mostly be dinner). I have Sunday's leftovers still for lunch today which I've already logged. BF said something about some kind of pasta dinner recipe he wants to try so I'm going to try my best to fast until lunch to help offset that. I completed my kettlebell workout with an extra round since it's beginning to feel easy. I'll continue upping reps and rounds as it gets easier until I complete the workout on the app. Also took the dogs on a nice easy relaxing walk. Now to focus on moving every hour and hitting 10k steps!
07/20
Previous Day's Comments07/11 - I'm sore muscle-wise and I went on a very hot fire call yesterday. I'm sure I'm holding on to some water from slight dehydration plus my muscles. I still managed 90oz but not near enough after sweating for almost 2 hours in gear. I don't look as puffy as yesterday so hopefully this bloat will be gone by tomorrow. Today I did 10 rounds of fast run (almost sprint) for 60 seconds, walk/recover 30 seconds before I came to get the dogs for a cooldown walk with them. Dinner tonight will be homemade Taco Bell Crunchwrap supremes that I'm slowly getting better at making. Not sure lunch. Also have to drop off my Jeep to get worked on. Hopefully it's nothing at all. It's a busy busy day for me not even accounting for work.
07/12 - I'm holding on to something.... I'm wondering if TOM is causing me to retain water and bloat. I'm not due for several more days, but bodies are weird and who knows? I was under calorie goal yesterday and had 80oz water. I'm still a tad sore, but not as bad as yesterday so not sure I'm retaining water from that. Today my goal is 90oz, staying under calorie goal, moving every hour, and hitting 10k steps. I did my doggie walk and kettlebell workout already this morning. Lunch will be a burrito bowl with leftovers from Crunchwrap copycats last night plus some black beans (we used up all the refried beans). Not sure dinner yet. Trying to fast until lunch, if possible. Otherwise, 2 hard boiled eggs OR a salmon packet. I will pre-log what I know so far!
07/13 - Ooookay? TOM hasn't hit but it's due any point in the next 4 or so days and I'm expecting to have some water retention from that still. I logged on the high end of calories for the day, as well. Maybe salt retention dropped off? I don't know, honestly. My hip is still bothering me a bit from sprints on Tuesday so I decided to do my intervals on the rower today instead. Still cardio, as planned! Took dogs for a walk after to cool down only to realize it's so hot and humid out already I didn't stop sweating or cool off at all. At least my heart rate had a chance to level out haha If we go to Fam's, it'll be curry and naan for dinner, otherwise I'm not sure. I still have enough leftovers for another burrito bowl for lunch today. As usual, will pre-log what I can
07/14 - I somehow forgot to weigh this morning until AFTER I had my coffee and went on a walk. Oops! I'm still shocked at this weigh in. No TOM yet, either. Tomorrow may be higher as we just ate out at an Asian restaurant and sodium was plentiful. Also going on the lake tomorrow so depending on when I wake up vs when everyone else does, I may not be able to check in. Will see. Didn't hit step goal as SD wanted to play a couple rounds of rummy and I sat through that. Today I'll hit goal.
07/15 - Sodium, as expected and I'm experiencing cramps with no TOM so I imagine I'm holding on to some extra water there, too. Not worried about it. I have a weigh in Monday so I'm simply hoping to behave enough this weekend to show maintenance or even a small loss for that. Lake today, as mentioned. Goal is to limit alcohol and drink a bottle of water between every drink. Be mindful of liquid calories and balance with food. I'm giving myself grace if I don't hit 10k steps today as my Fitbit doesn't always track my steps in water like it would on land. Will focus on just moving in general.
07/16 - I didn't get a chance, I had a whiny puppy waiting so I made my escape from the bedroom as quickly and quietly as I could with the pup in tow so I didn't disturb BF. I didn't want to see the damage anyway, I'm so beyond bloated. I chugged a bottle of water this morning, though, and felt instantly better so it was a mild dehydration feeling through the night, but noticeable enough to make my sleep restless. I'm feeling quite bloated. TOM did start so I'm hoping I can drop off this hormonal, sodium, AND dehydration bloat by weigh-in tomorrow. Also hoping to have nice drop by the end of this round as I leave Thursday to go to a concert out of town. We won't be back until Saturday and I'd like to have to battle only the 2 1/2 days of eating out versus a full week's worth of damage.
07/17 - That hurts. I'm so beyond bloated. FamWife made my favorite broccoli slaw and then a new bean recipe she found. I'm guessing all that fiber is what's holding me up. It did, however, help with TMI which is always a struggle around TOM, but unfortunately after I already weighed and drank a ton of water and my coffee. Also had smoked pork loin and a cinnamon apple cupcake (minus the frosting) SD made. All good on water intake and hit 10k steps. I did my kettlebell workout as well as a walk with the pups already this morning. I'm very hungry so I'm eating broccoli slaw for breakfast and I have more slaw to eat on for lunches as well as more pork loin and bean dip.
07/18 - A bit of a drop. I don't have high hopes of hitting my goal of 151.x this round and next round starting off out of town. I'm going to keep trying and sticking to my healthy habits as best I can and hope for the best. Today I did a rowing interval for 15 minutes and then took the dogs for a very slow, relaxing cool down walk. Dinner will be homemade chicken enchiladas and lunch is leftovers, which I've already pre-logged. Hopefully I remember to take my lactose pills to offset all that cheese BF likes to put in his enchiladas (which will also help with bloat).

People say keto/LCHF isnβt sustainable. Iβve been doing it for over 6 years with amazing results!

This will be a round of food danger for me. Weβre going to southern Illinois where everything has added sugar - LOTS of added sugar. I will weigh on the first day and then head to the airport. I will be without a scale until the 20th.
7/11 128.0 Weβre on the plane headed to St Louis and southern Illinois. No scale until the 20th when we get back home. Iβm also going without my Keto Mojo until then.
7/12 DNW Finally ate at destination and splurge on all things. Margarita and chimichanga, no rice or beans. Because of time zone changes we were on my OMAD schedule.
7/13 DNW Day 2 of reunion trip. We ate lunch at our favorite local BBQ place and have decided our place in Las Vegas is better. OMAD at noon was pork chop and 8 corn nuggets - another food marked off the list as not as good as I remember it. Itβs amazing how my taste has changed. Even the tiny taste of blackberry cobbler was MEH. Posting really early due to screwed up body clock/time zone switch. (Posted 12:18am 7/13)
7/14 DNW Our daughters and most of our grands arrived. It seems the local people in the younger generations arenβt interested. I doubt weβll do this again. My 84 year old SIL is stressing over food since we are basically guessing how many will show up. And it seems she and I are doing the shopping because only 1 or 2 have said they will be coming and bring something. DD#2 and her family were delayed 2 hours leaving Las Vegas. No good when traveling with a 1 year old toddler.
7/15 DNW DH , DSIL and I agree that this will probably be the last reunion. There is only one of the original generation left and he is coming from Florida with one of DHβs cousins. The younger generation (kids around our kids age- 50s) seem to have other things to do. No one can commit time or effort to help. Itβs sad.
Yesterday we took our girls to the three area cemeteries where family are buried. They made sure they are all documented on the βFind a Graveβ website. Today is the reunion gathering. Clearly these activities with family are keeping me busy. Iβm 4 pages behind on posts and canβt find mine from yesterday although I DID write it in my journal. DH will be waking soon and weβll hit the road to get over to the reunion site. Food choices have not been great. It is what it is. We havenβt been here since 2016. Lots of catching up to do and many palates to satisfy.
7/16 Reunion yesterday was very nice. I donβt know how many were there and e didnβt have a sign in sheet as we have in the past. Today our girls and their families will probably come to my SILβs before heading home. Ate a lot of food I havenβt eaten in years.
7/17 The girls and their families got home safely although the younger one left behind several items she wants us to add to our suitcases! We may need another bag!
7/18 Itβs nice tone back in southern Illinois but the humidity is awful. We drove over to Carbondale yesterday after visiting with friends in Marion for several hours. Back to where it all started almost 54 years ago. I wish I had taken more pictures of the campus. It is beautiful really. Tomorrow night we fly home.
7/19 This afternoon we drive to St. Louis and fly back home tonight. Weβve been having thunder, lightning and rain storms. Iβm not excited about driving in that weather. Or riding. Flash flood warning until noon. The view out our hotel window. At least 8β of water.

I expected that since we grabbed burgers and fries on our way back mid-afternoon from my eye surgery. Then I slept the rest of the afternoon, and at a variety of definitely not weight-loss foods in the evening. Iβll move toward better eating soon. Off in a few minutes for my post-surgery check up. My vision is really a mess at the moment, with one eye full of meds (like looking through very dirty glass) and the other no longer properly corrected by my glasses. Good excuse to lie around and listen to audio books and podcasts!
7/12 - 184
My eye is a bit clearer today, but still has annoying globs of medication floating around. I canβt drive, and have trouble in bright light even with dark glasses so Iβm not walking much, but I can read and knit and listen to things, so Iβll survive. π§Άππ At least I havenβt had the big junk food cravings I had with the first eye!
7-13 - 183.8
I finally got out for a short walk with the pup yesterday evening, which was great. A lot of the medication has dissolved or evaporated or otherwise danced its way out of my eye this morning, so although my vision hasnβt completely cleared, I donβt have big black blobs floating around. π I can see weβll enough to drive so Iβm heading over to a nearby nursery to wander around a little. I need to get away, even if itβs just 2 miles away for 20 minutes!
7/14 - 182.4
Yes! Yay! I havenβt had the urge to snack the past couple of days β maybe my post-surgery junk food binges filled the need. Nice to see the change paying off. Now to stick to itβ¦. Weβve been watching a Netflix series on the human body, and the episode on the circulatory system reminded me about the dangers of sitting too much. I knew that, of course, but the physicians and scientists on there explained what and why in vivid terms. So Iβm going to start something I used to do when I was seriously writing β set an interval timer to get up every 45 minutes and go out and walk 15. I felt great when I was doing that (and walking 1-2 hours/day in addition). My vision is a little better, so Iβm starting today.
7/15 - 183
Salt from carry-out lunch. Calories were fine. Itβs a nice rainy day, so my garden is happy (including the weeds!) and Iβm getting caught up on some indoor things. My distance vision is very fuzzy since my prescription is off now post-cataract-surgery. Also, weirdly, I didnβt realize until now that my glasses have a slight yellow tint. I donβt like it! π€ͺ Anyway, planning a quiet Saturday, getting a few things done. I hope you all have a lovely day!
7/16 - 183.6
I had a snack fest last night. Sigh. I donβt know what got into me, but I ate and ate. Iβll try to do better today.
7/17 - 183.4
Better yesterday. π I also moved more despite the bad air. Took Booker for a walk, and we did a half hour of scent work training, which isnβt terribly active but does involve bending and lifting as well as walking, so better than sitting around. We start back to doggy school classes todayβyay! Brain work for adolescent puppy = quieter evenings! Plus more moving for me.
7/18 - 183
Nothing to report. π
7/19 - 183.8
What? Has to be salt and/or delayed reaction, because I was well under calories. Ok, tomorrowβ¦.

A comment about eating rather than throwing food away, which several people have mentioned. I used to worry about that, too, until a friend said that if you eat what you donβt really want and certainly donβt need, youβre wasting both the food and yourself. So while I still overeat too often, itβs no longer for fear of wasting food. Maybe that thought will help someone else reframe the idea?6

Mmm. Seems my weight is doing the usual. All over the place. Lol. Likely I'll stay at 198 or drop to 197 point something. I pretty much ignore those 2 and 3lb drops in weight over 10 days, unless it remains stable.

I used to worry about that, too, until a friend said that if you eat what you donβt really want and certainly donβt need, youβre wasting both the food and yourself. So while I still overeat too often, itβs no longer for fear of wasting food. Maybe that thought will help someone else reframe the idea?
Overeating for me is one or two extra bites of food and then I suffer with acid reflux. GERD taught me a lesson. I have always cooked just enough food to have a small amount left over. If its not eaten the next day, I dont have a problem throwing it away. There are a lot of parents that have eaten the unwanted food from their
children's plates. You don't hear so much about that nowadays. I'm sure it still happens. My son was one of them. I told him not to do it. Better to give the kids a little food and let them tell you if they want more. Still, food waste happens.4 -
Hi Everyone β Looking forward to another challenge, my 5th.
Female, 5β4β, 57 years of age
HW: 210 (May, 2022)
CW: 148.6
GW: still donβt knowβ¦ hope Iβll know it when I see it in the mirrorβ¦ chasing a βhealthyβ BMI firstβ¦ I suppose I should put quotations around βhealthy BMIβ because I have read recently that BMI is either a made-up number, or a good tool for docs to use when assessing health related to weight and height, all depending on what you read. In any event, when I look in the mirror, I know that I have fat where I should not, therefore, I need to lose more fat. Whatever my weight is at that point will be my goal.
Goals: Continue working on same goals from previous round because it seems to have worked!
Cardio: 8/10 days (only days I struggle with this are Sunday and Wednesday due to lack of time)
Bodyweight Train: 3/10 days <- The biggest struggle of mine currently. Really need to do this!
Logging Food: 10/10 days (using a food scale every time!)
SW RND 229: 148.6
7/11: 148.4 β had a very early medical test this morningβ¦ glad that is over. Work has been extra stressful these past couple of daysβ¦ the kind of stress where I walk into the office and get called into 3 peoplesβ offices before I set my stuff down and boot up my computerβ¦ really makes me want to stick my face into a pie or cake or somethingβ¦ but Iβm not going to do it. Iβve come so far this last year, I have no desire to undo that hard work. Tonight, I have Zumba after work β YAY! I need to go back to RND 228 and catch up with everyone, but I hope you all are well, hugs to everyone!!
7/12: 148.2 - Phew, thank goodness yesterday is in my rear view! Still stressful at work, and now I need to have ANOTHER medical test done... Geesh. By the time I am done, I think my whole entire body's innards will have been seen by all medical professionals in this area. I am not complaining (much, well, yes, I am complaining), I know they need to check things out and I could be on the other end of this needing to see medical professionals and not being able to get an appointment. I am grateful they are taking the time to make sure I am as healthy as I can be. Take care of your liver people - no joke!
7/13: 147.7 - Ok, the stress is getting to me. It's just life stuff, just work stuff, but dang. Why why why do I feel the need to stuff these feelings down with food? I am sitting here at my computer having an internal conversation in my head, trying to be a good friend to myself... just breathe, it's all going to work out okay, you don't need that food to fix this, you will only feel worse afterward. Do you think anyone would notice if I sat here with duct tape across my mouth? I am going to write 147.7 on a big post-it note and put it in front of my face. Hugs to everyone who is struggling!!!
7/14: 148 - Feeling so much better today. Had a great cardio dance workout last night - sweat my patootie off. Dripping, disgusting sweat always makes me feel better afterward! Things are quieter here at the office so I feel like I can breathe again for the first time this week. Looking forward to a weekend with no plans beyond cooking and cleaning (that makes me sound so strange!). Happy Friday!!
7/15: 148
7/16: 148 Nothing exciting to report here... did my Zumba yesterday early morning, cooking, cleaning, laundry, repeat. Dreary and rainy here today, but plan to get some light cardio done later, after my meal prep for the week. Hanging steady weight wise - lower than starting this round, but no exciting movement there either. Sorry to sound so boring...
7/17: 148 - a couple of monkey wrenches thrown into my week. I am going to be as flexible as possible while still staying on plan. I'll need to miss my Zumba class tomorrow night, but I cannot control everything. Right now I am going to control what I eat, and be ok with that. Did my meal prep yesterday so my fridge is full of healthy for me meals for days.
7/18: 148 - feels like a theme. Another monkey wrench today, in a good way. DH had been out of town which is why I was going to miss Zumba, so I could be home to care for our son with CP, but DH has made it home earlier than expected, so now I can do Zumba... yay me!
7/19: 147.7 - I am working from home today, jonesing for a sweet fluffy treat of the pastry variety (my addiction). Luckily there is no such thing in my home, but there is flour, eggs, butter, sugar, etc. I have even looked up recipes online. Not going to do it though, because I hate washing dishes. I am supposed to be working for crying out loud! I also really and truly want to stabilize in the 147 range instead of needing to type 148 again for the end of this round!!! The weight is coming off in ounces, even 1/2 ounces, but at least it's coming off.

@quiltingjaine - I wish you SAFE travels today!
@miscanon3617 - safe travels to you as well!! I have never been on a plane where I needed to be weighed first. That might possibly end all air travel for me.
@SModa61 - that is so incredibly stressful! I have no words of comfort, just know I am hoping that you can get through this period quickly!! Amazing what the geriatric psychiatrist said vs what the geriatric PCP knew. Don't forget to breathe. Sending another big hug!!
@SheilaBoneham - "if you eat what you don't really want and certainly don't need, you're wasting both the food and yourself." YES!!! Putting that on a post-it and sticking it to the fridge!!3 -

7/11 - 128.4 whoops, not off to a great start according to the scale. Howeve,r I did strength training yesterday. Then this morning, I e-biked the kids to daycare & myself to the doctor and back and then took the dogs on a 3-mile jog! I decided to train for the local half marathon taking place September 17th. Hopefully that will keep me focused and give me some direction.
7/12 - 127. Phew. I did a little better yesterday but still need to rein it in. I walked the dogs this morning and will lift during lunchtime. I'm finishing up a beginner strength program this week and will need to figure out what's next on that front soon!
7/13 - 126.8. Alright, maybe it wasn't as much water as I thought. If I want to see this weight go away I'm going to have to do a little more work in the kitchen. I haven't tracked any food in quite a while, and I haven't done any extended fasts (20+ hours) in weeks. I think today I'll do an extended fast since we have dinner plans at a brewery to see a musician we like play. I have interval work on the treadmill planned. Have a great day everyone!

7/17 - 128.0, ugh! I can't seem to up my exercise and watch my calorie intake at the same time. Our house has been ice cream central lately, and I can't seem to resist. I also made a cake with caramel frosting for my mom on Friday and indulged in too much of that. Thankfully it's gone now. On the positive side I did run 5 miles yesterday and followed my first week of half marathon training to a T, but I am on an extreme "see food" diet. Today I will walk the dogs and do the strength training on my schedule, and stay out of the kitchen!

If you're exercise is mostly running, it's very typical to then be very hungry as a result. I definitely get that when doing long runs. I recommend looking around the internet for some recommendations on how to manage this. It might be something like having a protein shake right after a run or something π
Thanks for the advice! I think it's definitely the impact of lifting weights plus running. I've been running or strength training every other day (except for 1 rest day) and it's taking its toll on my appetite...and willpower!1 -

Round 229
MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5β 5β TALL.
ROUND 186 FOR ME.
βTodayβ¦.I am choosing Meβ
MY STATS:
Highest weight ever (05-10-2016): 253
Original starting weight on MFP: (01-11-2018) 235.0
R228 EW= 194.4
R229 EW= TBD
Current New Goals:
Weight:
Short Term Goal: To weigh less at the end of this round than I did at the end of the last round.
Final goal: 145-155. Weβll see how I look & feel when I get there.
Exercise: Move 30 minutes per day rotating activity.
Mini challenge: My monthly goal is always about 5 pounds per month. HOWEVER, I never seem to make that. I will continue to keep that goal because it Should Be achievable (even though it is not for me) but never say
never, right? So, Between Independence Day Holiday (July 4th) and Labor Day Holiday (Sept 4th) I will weigh somewhere, ANYWHERE in the 180βs. I donβt care if itβs on the brim. Iβve got to start getting further away from the 200βs again! Starting Weight on 7/4 is 195.4.
COLOR CODE: Fuchsia is a Happy Weight Loss for me. Blue is a sad weight gain.Black is no change.

Iβm really sucking at this right now. I am way above starting weight and the challenge is almost over. July has been filled with holidays and birthday celebrations that have got the best of me. Iβm disgusted with myself right now. Also, summer is slipping away and I have not taken the advantage of it as I dreamed I would all winter. It is horrible how I have worked so hard on so many many days. Intermittent fasting, shopping properly, prep cooking and freezing meals, going without the foods I am craving, going to bed hungry, exercising and doing strength training until I can barely lift my arms, documenting every bite, counting every calorie, counting every carb, researching online new ideas, methods, recipes, reading my self-help weight-loss book(s), only to gain nearly every week. All over a meal or a moment of weakness here and there. That meal, that celebration dessert, is just not worth it! Itβs time to roll up my sleeves! Sorry for the rant, but how hard do I work at this only to sabotage it for no lasting or productive reason? Stop it Donna, JUST STOP IT!!!!!
07/19 -197.8- (Trend weight 197.4) Very good prep-cooked meals yesterday and a little exercise. Bad snacks again late last night. I think I dropped the Β½ pound on the scale due to fervent prayer as mentioned in James 5:16 KJV of the Bible. I cannot do this alone! Iβm planning an excellent day of healthy eating again today. I am going to study my prelogged food and make sure my snacks will be in line but fulfilling. But oh, those cravings! Thatβs where the prayer comes in!

Hi again, I'm Amanda in Appalachian Virginia.
SW RND 229 - 127.4 (7/10)
RGW - <125 lbs
7/11 - 128.4 whoops, not off to a great start according to the scale. However, I did strength training yesterday. Then this morning, I e-biked the kids to daycare & myself to the doctor and back and then took the dogs on a 3-mile jog! I decided to train for the local half marathon taking place September 17th. Hopefully that will keep me focused and give me some direction.
7/12 - 127. Phew. I did a little better yesterday but still need to rein it in. I walked the dogs this morning and will lift during lunchtime. I'm finishing up a beginner strength program this week and will need to figure out what's next on that front soon!
7/13 - 126.8. Alright, maybe it wasn't as much water as I thought. If I want to see this weight go away I'm going to have to do a little more work in the kitchen. I haven't tracked any food in quite a while, and I haven't done any extended fasts (20+ hours) in weeks. I think today I'll do an extended fast since we have dinner plans at a brewery to see a musician we like play. I have interval work on the treadmill planned. Have a great day everyone!
7/14 - DNW
7/15 - DNW
7/16 - DNW
7/17 - 128.0, ugh! I can't seem to up my exercise and watch my calorie intake at the same time. Our house has been ice cream central lately, and I can't seem to resist. I also made a cake with caramel frosting for my mom on Friday and indulged in too much of that. Thankfully it's gone now. On the positive side I did run 5 miles yesterday and followed my first week of half marathon training to a T, but I am on an extreme "see food" diet. Today I will walk the dogs and do the strength training on my schedule, and stay out of the kitchen!
7/18 - 128.4 boy oh boy. I did better with snacking yesterday but we had pizza and wings for dinner.
7/19 - 128.0. My two goals for today are to drink a gallon of water and track my calories. I also have to lift weights and walk the dogs. Yesterday I did a 4-mile treadmill run but then I took my family to a blueberry pie competition. Delicious but not ideal for getting back into my maintenance range! I guess I'll have to get to that next round since there's no way I'm going to be 3 pounds lighter tomorrow no matter what today looks like. Ah well, good to know what lies ahead I suppose.

@miscanon3617 - safe travels to you as well!! I have never been on a plane where I needed to be weighed first. That might possibly end all air travel for me.
@SModa61 - that is so incredibly stressful! I have no words of comfort, just know I am hoping that you can get through this period quickly!! Amazing what the geriatric psychiatrist said vs what the geriatric PCP knew. Don't forget to breathe. Sending another big hug!!
@SheilaBoneham - "if you eat what you don't really want and certainly don't need, you're wasting both the food and yourself." YES!!! Putting that on a post-it and sticking it to the fridge!!
@BringIt2023 Sad that I have no idea about your lovely notes to the other members as I have not been able to read posts.
Anyhow, again thanks for your well wishes and I am so sorry that you have gone through this before me. I should have said that in my original reply. My mind is all over the place.....

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 229 (my 160th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round.
Goal this round is yet again the same as last; to get back under and stay under 139. Holiday to Menorca is now in 63 days, if I donβt crack on Iβll be needing to purchase a bigger size in holiday clothes and I do not want to do that. So, 63 days, 6 rounds at a pound per round should easily get me to where I want to be, only I can do it, Iβve done it before so I can do it again if I knuckle down!! Really try 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, itβs 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.

7/11 138.8 β 9.4 miles walked, no exercise calories eaten back. A good start to the round, now to stay under 139!
7/12 138.8 β 8.79 miles walked, a third of exercise calories eaten back.
7/13 139.8 β 11.07 miles walked, all exercise calories eaten back. Hopefully this is last nights pasta dish (high in carbs) β left overs for tonight.
7/14 141 β uggh!!! No structured walking as childminding day for little DGS, ate over calories!
7/15 142.4 - 2 days binge totally wipes out 6 days of sticking to plan; now I have more ground to make up to my holidays, when will I learn!!?? 57 days to holiday and twice as much to lose as I had on Wednesday. No structured walking as persistent rain all day, but 2 hours of dancing yesterday evening, stopped only to visit the Ladies !! Iβm starting again today!! Try to salvage something from the round.
7/16 141 β Food & drink was text book which shows on the scales, but again no structured walking due to weather; we normally walk to see MIL and then walk for a further 7+ miles, but due to the rain we took the car and then went on to town to do some errands which we had been putting off whilst enjoying the dry weather & then chores at home on return, so a productive day. Today will be more of a challenge as we travel up to DS for lunch but, looking forward to seeing him & family.
7/17 140 β stayed on track with portion control at DSβs, and didnβt feel hungry for the rest of the day so only a pear & banana eaten at tea time after the return journey home. Only 38 minutes of structured walking managed, 113 calories over.
7/18 139.4 β down below end of last round weight. 10.92 miles walked, less than 10% exercise calories eaten back. Now to keep this 3 day consistently going, would like to end round below start weight. 2 days to go.
7/19 139.8 β 9.51 miles walked 40% exercise calories eaten back.
7/20 140.2 β disappointed with this as round final weigh, but it it what it is! 10.98 miles walked, 5/8 exercise calories eaten back. 0.6 pounds up on the end of last round, five days binge free, need to not let that allow me to ease up !
ππThis is NOT A DIET. Itβs a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!!

About Me:Thanks to a medication I'm on for my mental health and an overeating habit, I managed to gain a lot of weight in the last year or so. Last Wednesday, I stepped on the scale for the first time since I started the med (that is known to cause weight gain) and decided enough was enough. I buckled down and started actually recording my food for the first time in over five years and started walking every day. Now I need motivation to keep going (especially during this trying week of my son's 13th birthday because he wants homemade pizza which is my hugest weakness and zucchini cake).
RND 229
heaviest: 294 (7/5/23)
SW: 287.8
GW (short term): 275
RGW: 285?
7/11 - 287.8 - 1.33 miles - after walking over 9 miles the past seven days, my legs are killing me. I started with a goal of 1 mile every day but quickly pushed up to 1.5+ but after three of those days in a row, I started noticing more pain and stiffness. I'm definitely overdoing it after not walking much for years (thanks chronic fatigue). I'm also getting stress pains in my shins in one certain spot on each side that I've tracked down to the way I walk while crossing over the numerous driveways in our neighborhood causing one foot to be at an odd angle. I've decided to reverse directions every other day so one side doesn't get more of a workout (also considering maybe just walking in the street but there are a lot of parked cars and a bit of traffic). As a reward for my hard work this last week, I had two mini ice cream cones for dessert today (~120 calories total).
7/12 - 287.0 - 1.07 miles - cut back on my walk today to start giving my legs a bit of a rest and tried to really focus on eating well. Had a delicious sandwich for lunch with lots of healthy stuff on the side (grape tomatoes, baby carrots and a pickle) then had extra meat with dinner and still came in under enough that I could have some popcorn if I wanted (which I'm considering as I'm finally sitting down to watch a show that caught my eye the other day... I haven't watched TV in months)
7/13 - 286.8 - 1.22 miles - a little bit longer walk but at a much slower pace. Didn't feel so worn out after. Managed to only snack on some healthy stuff (okay, there were 8 rice chips thrown in but otherwise just carrots). I feel good about today.
7/14 - 286.2 - 1.38 miles - today is my youngest son's 13th birthday. I no longer have children... only teens and young adults. Sigh. I spent over three hours in the kitchen making pizza for dinner. My feet are so sore I can't even sit still from the pain. I cleaned up the mess from cooking but still need to put all of the pizza in the fridge and clean the counters where they were cut. Also had to clean up an entire spilled cup of lemonade (ugh) and then we did cake before I went to sit down. Ate 3 slices of pizza and had a small slice of carrot cake (no idea how many calories that had, forgot to weigh it because I was so tired and sore). I inputted my pizza into MFP as best I could and somehow managed to come under my calorie limit somehow. But that didn't include the cake. I did better than I thought I would. Pizza is one of my weaknesses. I just love it. Especially cold for breakfast the next day so I'm going to have to resist the urge to eat more tomorrow but then I feel like I did all that work and I get just 3 slices... one for each hour I worked. Oh well. I'm looking forward to having some more leftover pork roast, rice and mushrooms for dinner tomorrow night. Yum.
7/15 - 287.0 - 1.12 miles - I was up .8lbs from yesterday thanks to the pizza and cake, but it was well worth it. Even had a couple smaller slices of pizza for lunch today along with half of a sausage sandwich for breakfast that my grandson didn't get a chance to finish before he left for his dad's house and a filling dinner of pork roast, rice, mushrooms and broccoli and still had room calorie-wise for a tiny bowl of low-cal ice cream. I found a new walking route that seemed a little easier in regards to elevation changes (the walk uphill on the way home was killing me with my normal route). I just got out too late today to go any farther because it was already getting super hot after 15 minutes outside so I turned around pretty quick. I also finally got my laundry done as I was running out of clean everything but any time I thought about putting laundry in, someone (there are 6 other people in the house) beat me to it.
7/16 - 286.4 - 1.36 miles - And I recovered nicely from my pizza escapades, lol. I still have enough sauce for one more pizza so might make another one for lunch one of these days. I'm almost out of pork roast, though, and it's been the most filling thing I've been eating. Not sure what I'll when it's gone other than make myself another roast (have another package in the freezer so that's doable).
7/17 - 284.6 - 1.44 miles - Well, I'm out of pork roast (someone ate half of what I had left so I only had enough for lunch today). Not sure what I'm going to eat now that will really fill me up without adding a ton of calories. I made turkey tacos last night. I could have two small tacos but it barely felt filling so I had some popcorn later in the night (I had the calories to give). Tonight I had a turkey/chicken/provolone sandwich but someone ate all of my chicken slices (had 1/2 of one slice left) and I'm almost out of sliced turkey, too. No one else seems interested in eating the tacos, so I'll be forced to eat them all so they don't get thrown away. It's going to take me a full week while I'll also have to cook other meals for my husband and kids to eat. It's a constant struggle in this house...I cook big meals for my big family, everyone refuses to eat it, and I'm expected to eat the leftovers because I was the one that cooked them and my husband gets mad if they're thrown away. It's one of the reasons my weight got so out of control in the first place--I was constantly stuffing my face with huge portions of leftovers before they had to be thrown out. Sigh.
7/18 - 284.6 - 1.41 miles - No change in weight today which is better than going up so there's that. I've also officially hit my goal for this round! I'm under 285lbs. Had a nice walk this morning before it got too hot and I managed to get some chores done including the dishes and cleaning up my whole room, washing bedding and cleaning up the bathroom some. I feel like I actually accomplished something today. Now I just need to drag the vacuum upstairs to finally do my floors. My grandson stays with me a few days out of the week and eats in my room and just gets crumbs everywhere. It's gotten really bad but I didn't have the energy to pick everything up to vacuum until today. I just noticed my youngest daughter cleaning the bathroom so maybe she'll decide to vacuum her room and/or the hallway and I won't have to get the vacuum myself, lol.
7/19 - 282.0 - 1.33 miles - Was smokey this morning on my walk from a fire an hour north of us. Then I had to spend the last few hours combing my daughter's very long, thick hair for lice. Ugh. My meds give me RLS and it's now kicked in and I can't sit still to finish up my tasks I didn't get to do because of the hair thing. On a brighter note, I finally thought up a plot for a book/story after not being able to come up with new ideas in years. I brainstormed it for hours today, and it felt really great to get a small part of my creativity back which seemed to disappear once my bipolar was stabilized.

Round 229
July 11 - 20, 2023
61 year old female, 5β5β. 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 β 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 β 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126
Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.
History:Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two βkidsβ, 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 βall in or notβ person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing 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
7/11 (Maine) β 126.6 (Renpho 125.6) I guessing that is a result for lots of advil and Tylenol combine with a dinner of restaurant Pad thai. :β( Worked on the contents of my parents condo in Maine for the day. They were last able to travel there in 2019, before COVID. It is another hoarded home (not TV level). The trash and recycling dumpsters on the property open at chest high. Therefore one must open the lid with one hand and lift the disposed items to that height and up and over. I think the lifting with twisting of heavy containers did me in. Once I get through this recovery, it is clear my core needs more attention.
7/12- (Mass) β 126.8 (Renpho 126.6) One thing I have noticed about myself is that back pain (or menstrual pain when I used to have it) is a trigger for me to eat/binge. Last night was beyond not good behavior, and I am still loading up on advil and Tylenol. Today, going to pre-track my day and get control before I do real damage. Sister is also coming tomorrow to stay with me for three days while working with my parents. That could be a whole other trigger. Lots to get a handle on.
7/13- (Mass) β 125.8 (Renpho 125.6)
7/14- (Mass) β 124.2 (Renpho 124.4) Advil is out of my system, and have eaten reasonably past two days. First day was slightly below βweigh lossβ target, and the second above, but still below βmaintenanceβ target. It is great to understand cause and effects so help prevent a panic, to which I might respond poorly. No exercise is happening. Sad that the nature of this summer and obligations can impact that so much. But unlike 2021, I will keep control of my weight, regardless.
7/15- (Mass) β 123.0 (Renpho 122.8)
7/16- (Mass) β 123.4 (Renpho 123.2) Crazy busy. Sis is staying with me and we are working with my parents to de-hoard their house. They have been out of it since Nov 2021. It is ridiculous what is inside. Back there again today. Later this week, it will fall upon me to transport everything to recycling and/or trash. It will take multiple trips with my SUV.
7/17- (Mass) β 123.2 (Renpho 123.2) Sister flies home in an hour (it is now 6 am). I thoroughly expected to have struggled to stay under 126 with a guest in the home and uncontrolled obligations. I guess I am glad to have been wrong. My exercise is sadly falling apart over the summer (I think I said that already). That happened in 2021 as well. It is very disappointing. I had planned for summer to be my chance to step up my game, not backslide. Calorie aspect, is holding on β¦β¦.. for now. I keep remembering 2021 falling apart which turned into the gain I addressed with you all from Jan to May. These posts are great in that I take a minute to sit and put in words where I am at. Thanks all!!
7/18- (Mass) β 124.2 (Renpho 124.0) Spent most of the day organizing and prepping notes for my parents three Dr appointments today, and one tomorrow. Putting together all their medication lists, issues/complaints and the like. In addition, today my mother, for the first time, is seeing a Geriatric psychiatrist to get his views on what we see as dementia developing. He is a lead researcher at a top US hospital and my daughterβs boss. My mom is getting to βcut the lineβ to see him. Consequently, I do not want to waste a minute of his time. Oh, my mother has no idea of the real reason (dementia) that she is meeting with him. Anyhow, box of chocolates and last ΒΎ of container of Bryers ice cream are both gone, from late last night. Unfortunately that still happens, but fine if stays occasional.
7/19- (Mass) β 122.6 (Renpho 122.4) One possible outcome from a difficult day. Morning started rough but went amazingly well. Mom got overtired and the PCP appointments were challenging to handle, then the PCP had my father whisked away by ambulance to the ER. Consequently I now needed to take on new obligations for my mother. THEN my older sister calls and is second guessing all the medical decisions of the doctors. It got ridiculous enough that I hung up the phone on her. I couldnβt take another minute. Overnight, the word is my father will be in the hospital βseveral daysβ. My mother is going to be a mess.
Apologies to all, I am finding it challenging to read group posts this last days. I hope to catch up soon. I do see those posts that I am tagged in.
7/20- (Mass) β 122.6 (Renpho 122.4) Certainly not the weight I expected at the end of the round, but will hopefully make my challenges of the next round easier. Assuming my parents remain stable for the next few days I will be in Maine for a bit for a 32nd birthday weekend for my daughter. It is also her last βout of stateβ hurrah before her August 19th due date. Trying to make it happen. It has been planned for a while.6
