(Tu•71g Prot; 80ozs water) I've been allowing myself some dried fruit, fresh fruit, dark chocolate, nuts, pretzels and cheese snack crackers this month. So thats the reason my weight is hovering. Cutting it all at the end of next week. I do not want to be packing on pounds during fall and winter.

- and I chose to have extra popcorn and cookies as evening snacks. UGH. Repeating a mantra "thank you to my body for telling me that I shouldn't eat anything after dinner. Regardless of yesterday, I deserve to eat today and I will honor my hunger. Thank you body for reminding me that I need to use the hunger signals. I am no longer attempting to practice overeating. I am no longer a person who over eats after I have had a fueling supper meal.

Do any of you utilize the weekly report as a premium subscriber? I log every morsel I put into my mouth every single day… I also record all of my activity… And according to this report, My calories in versus my calories out our almost equal… So please, please please tell me where are the results? I promise to remain patient, but something has to give within the next few days!

Marie, 60 yrs old, 6'0"
First Round: 232
MFP SW: 324.4 lbs (joined: 07/24/23)
CSW: 312.4
RGW: ???
8/10: 312.2
8/11: 312
8/12: 312.4 (challenge start date)
8/13: 312.4
8/14: 314.4 ⬆️ (+2 lbs)
Main two reasons for the gain:
1) My legs are really swollen (have poor circulation) in my body, which can cause swelling in my legs.
2) Bad choice of having pasta for dinner last night. Causes weight gain for me. Mostly I try to always eat low carb. Not just because high carb foods can cause weight gain; but, also they tend to raise my blood sugar. (I'm a type 2 diabetic.).
Had a weakness for some pasta last night (luckily, that doesn't happen very often) Hopefully, water weight will decrease in a day or two.
8/15: 312.6 ⬇️ (-1.8 lbs) I'm grateful that most of the water increase has come off really fast and I'm back to heading in the right direction.
8/16: 312.6 ↔️. (Stalled again) It's ok. I know it'll start going in the right direction soon. 😄

So, based on these numbers, I should’ve easily lost 3 pounds since the beginning of this round… Of course everybody’s different so let’s see what the ⚖️ reports on 8/19. In the meantime, I’m going to keep with the plan, and keep giving my best effort 💪🏻…
I may have to come to the conclusion/acceptance that my metabolism is super slow and losing 1 pound a week will be my results. I have to be willing to accept that. So I ask myself, would I rather be down 12 pounds in 12 weeks with this effort or with little to no effort and maybe less results or a weight gain? I have to choose to do WHATEVER it takes so… I’ll go with -12lbs in 12 weeks every day!!!

Female, 63 years old. 5'4"
Looking for accountability partner(s) so grateful to have found the thread.
Ten days – I can do ten days – great idea.
Lifelong dieter struggling with post-55 low metabolism and stressful job that I often let take priority over self-care.
Focus is low cal, low carb, and increasing my cardio and strength training.
HSW: 175 lbs
CW 174 lbs
GW for the 10 days 171 lbs
UGW 140 lbs
SW Round 232
8/10 : 174 lbs – let’s do this!
8/11: 174.5 - eee gads, salty peanuts at the ballgame? Skipped the beer and hot dogs!
8/12: 173.9 – whew, guess it was the peanuts
8/13 – camping WITHOUT the scale
8/14– camping WITHOUT the scale
8/15 –174.2 - limited camping menu defeated lots of exercise
8/16 – 174 – six days later and back to square one, GW looking distant

Round 232
MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
ROUND 189 FOR ME.
“Today….I am choosing Me”
MY STATS:
Highest weight ever (05-10-2016): 253
Original starting weight on MFP: (01-11-2018) 235.0
R231 EW= 194.6
R232 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. We’ll 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 4 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 180’s. I don’t care if it’s on the brim. I’ve got to start getting further away from the 200’s 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.

She is moving to an apartment just down the street from me which will make babysitting/transporting much easier. Going out-of-town to shop for the rest of Granddaughters 3rd birthday which is on Sunday so no handyman tomorrow.

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.

Yes, another round!
Jen; 46; 5'4"
About Me:This is my fourth round and really appreciated having someplace to stay accountable.
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. On July 4, 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. So far I've been doing great despite a lot of stress in my life. I had one "cheat" day on my son's 13th birthday because I made homemade pizza and enjoyed three slices of it. I have felt no need to "cheat" since then which makes me very happy. I keep telling myself I'll eat a bag of chips when I get to X weight, but that weight comes, and I feel no need to eat the chips and want to continue eating healthy to lose more weight. Amazing for a carb junkie.

8/10 - 265.8 - 3.04 miles - I had planned to work in the yard laying more mulch and shoveling rocks, but as I got close to home after my walk, I started feeling really queasy. I'm not sure if it was the heat (it was only in the mid-70s) or something else, but I decided to just go inside and rest instead. This weekend is supposed to be super hot so I'm not sure how much I can get done. The plan is to get to bed early today so I get up early tomorrow and get out for my walk in the early morning so I'm working in the yard before the heat sets in. We'll see how that goes.
8/11 - 264.8 - 2.37 miles - Worked for an hour in the yard shoveling rocks again and finished laying mulch on that side of the yard (YAY!). Then went on an hour walk when it started getting really hot. Didn't feel very well after that but it passed eventually. Then I spent 2.5 hours making homemade pizzas for the family so today was a cheat day. Last one was July 14 when I made pizza for my son's birthday. It tasted so good. Wish I could have more but I came in under my goal (barely and that's just an estimate). I'll make it up in the next couple of days so it's not a big deal.
8/12 - 264.2 - 3.29 miles - Went over on my calories today because I just couldn't resist having pizza for breakfast this morning (what is even the point if you don't eat it cold the next morning?). But I'll make it up in the next couple days--it's not the end of the world. I didn't do any yard work either because of the heat. I did go on an extra long walk by exploring some culdesacs along the route that I don't usually go down. We are now under a severe heat advisory or warning (can't remember which). It's supposed to be nearly 100F tomorrow so I doubt I do much and will get out for my walk really early. Same with Monday and Tuesday. Then my grandson is back so not sure what I'll do. Feeling good despite the stumbling with the pizza (I just cannot resist pizza; it's my favorite food).
8/13 - 268.2 - 3.06 miles - Four pounds! I'm not sure what to think about that. I made sure it was clean under the scale and reweighed myself. It didn't change. I'm not sure how eating 2 slices of pizza, half a sandwich, half a salad and a cup of pasta equals 4 pounds. According to my numbers I was only about 140 calories over my goal (not including exercise). Very strange, but not the end of the world. It just sets me back a few days I guess. I resisted eating any more of the pizza today and even passed on mac & cheese with dinner (had the burger and some fries, though). That gave me the space to have a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich (man, I love those things). I also pretty much finished the mulching of the yard. I have one bag left and have laid 18 of them. I still need to pull up some grass growing where it doesn't belong but it's looking much better. Thankfully, I got it done before the heatwave hit (supposed to be in the 100s all week I think). And with that heat, I need to be in bed early to be up early to do my hour of walking before the heat sets in for the day. So, I'm off to bed now.
8/14 - 266.4 - 3.01 miles - Got up a little before 7am and was out the door before 7:30 to get my walk in. By the time I got home around 8:45am, it was 74F and the sun was blazing. So glad I skipped coffee and just walked this morning because when we ran to the store at 3pm, it was 108F. I felt like I couldn't even breathe, it was so hot. Now there's apparently a fire across the river outside of Portland and blowing into town so the sky is kind of orange. Hopefully, it's not too bad in the morning. I hope to be out by 7:30 again, but not sure I want to try and push for three miles again with the even that early.
8/15 - 265.4 - 3.19 miles - Was out the door for my walk right after 7 this morning to avoid the heat again today (it's 100F at 6pm). Had a teledoc appointment at 10:30 to check my meds--am doing much better on this new regiment so sticking with it for three months (see her again on Halloween). And I finally got around to making the zucchini cake my son has been wanting since his birthday a month ago. I ended up just using a boxed carrot cake with added zucchini to it instead of making it from scratch (like I used to). Unfortunately, I did not leave myself enough calories today to enjoy a piece of it, especially with all the cream cheese frosting. I'm debating whether I'll try to fit it in tomorrow by eating less for dinner and scraping most of the frosting off. It smelled so good. I'm just going to have a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich instead.
8/16 - 262.6 - 3.19 miles - Had to use my miles from yesterday because my app went haywire and my route was all over the place and not where I acutally walked which was the same route (in reverse) as yesterday. I also allowed myself half a piece of zucchini cake this morning but then tonight, I just got the munchies and allowed myself another half-serving of Veggie Straws. Had to force myself to stop there because I really just wanted to mindlessly finish off the bag. First time I've had a bad craving like that in a month and a half.

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 231 (my 162nd). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round.
Goal this round is to get back under and stay under 138. Holiday is now in 31 days, I still need to crack on & lose a few more pounds, starting to get back into some holiday clothes, but can't let up: time is running out! So, 31 days, 3 rounds at a pound per round should easily get me to where I want to be, only I can do it, I’ve done it before so I can do it again if I knuckle down!! Really try to stay on track & do another complete round without binging. 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.

End of round 231 - 138.2 (1.6 pounds down)
SW Round 232 138.8
8/10 138.8 - 13.92 miles walked, we went in the opposite direction to Chatsworth Estate, up behind the house, along the ridge & back down through the woods, a third of exercise calories eaten back.
8/11 139 - had 2 little DGDs yesterday for the day, youngest is getting over chicken pox so restricted where we could take them; picked raspberries then took a picnic up into the Darbyshire Dales, managed a very slow 4 miles in total, ate more than exercise calories.
8/12 138.8 - moved caravan over to Retford in Notts, a beautiful little site on the banks of a stream and every pitch has a staging over the stream with a picnic table in it. Managed 5.26 mile walk around village, 100 calories over.
8/13 139.2 – spent the day at Bolsover Castle, it has the oldest indoor riding school still open and in use in the UK; we had tickets to see a manège display on how William Cavendish used to train his horses before he went into battle in the mid 1600’s, so fascinating, we then went on a guided tour of the outside of the castle before wandering around the inside ourselves, just manage to rack up 3.87 miles, but they were not at a good pace, just a bimble! Just read my post from yesterday – spellchecker changed a few of the words, looks like I was drunk when I wrote it!!
8/14 141.6???? Travelled back home, managed a 5.5 mile walk before we packed up and left, then after unpacking at home we hit the garden; dead heading, weeding and tidying after 10 days away, looks lovely again now, miles racked up to 7.45. Pizza night, hope this jump is due to sodium, 95 calories over.
8/15 140.6 – 5.97 miles walked in the dry window before I was forced home again by precipitation. 65% exercise calories eaten back.
8/16 140 – 12.78 miles walked, under 50% of exercise calories eaten back.
8/17. 139.2 -at least back below 140! 10.13 miles walked, 15% exercise calories eaten back.

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!!2 -
Do any of you utilize the weekly report as a premium subscriber? I log every morsel I put into my mouth every single day… I also record all of my activity… And according to this report, My calories in versus my calories out our almost equal… So please, please please tell me where are the results? I promise to remain patient, but something has to give within the next few days!
So, based on these numbers, I should’ve easily lost 3 pounds since the beginning of this round… Of course everybody’s different so let’s see what the ⚖️ reports on 8/19. In the meantime, I’m going to keep with the plan, and keep giving my best effort 💪🏻…
I may have to come to the conclusion/acceptance that my metabolism is super slow and losing 1 pound a week will be my results. I have to be willing to accept that. So I ask myself, would I rather be down 12 pounds in 12 weeks with this effort or with little to no effort and maybe less results or a weight gain? I have to choose to do WHATEVER it takes so… I’ll go with -12lbs in 12 weeks every day!!!
Unfortunately my metabolism is super slow too, eat at the recommended 2000 calories for a woman and I gain 😪.2 -
Hello again!
Female, 39 years old. 5'5" from Greece...Glad to be back!
Last two years gained approximately 40 pounds (20kgr)..
Tried drastic measures to get back to track, but to no avail... So I am now taking it one day at a time, with baby steps and learning to set realistic goals! Trying to make it a lifestyle choice, rather than a punishment !!
HSW: 175 lbs (79.4 kgr)
CW 170.8 lbs (77.5 kgr)
GW for the 10 days 168.6 lbs (76.5 kgr).... two pounds per round...
UGW 125 lbs (57 kgr)
8/10 170.8 lbs (77.5 kgr). Very happy to see the scale going down even for a small amount... I have managed to stay within my calories (1200) and add some form of exercise!!
8/11 DNW Travel-Vacation
8/12 DNW Travel-Vacation
8/13 DNW Travel-Vacation
8/14 DNW Travel-Vacation
8/15 DNW Travel-Vacation
8/16 172.4 lbs (78.2 kgr) Very very happy to only see 0.7kgr gain! I swam daily, but also I did not overly restrict myself from enjoying everything! Back to work, so back to schedule and daily exercise!
8/17 171.9 lbs (78kgr) Not bad.. Last night I had 35min treadmill at the 12-3-30 . The "trick" to not get absolutely bored is to put YouTube and say I will run for 8 or 9 or 10 songs of my favorite band... Last night it worked somehow. Then crunches, some yoga, some dancing -mix and match. Overall 90 minutes of movement... Had some sweet snacks (not very healthy) during the day, and that is reflected on the scale... But somehow, even though I am in my heaviest period, I keep a more positive attitude than before.. It is only the beginning and it is a marathon , not a sprint...

@Cchassee I applaud your mentality and determination. That was the point that I lost focus in previous occasions. I worked and worked and worked to no avail... Then I got frustrated and it all went down the drain.. What you said -better 12 pounds in 12 weeks, than remaining at the same weight or even gaining is GOALS.. And I found that my body changes, the rhythm in which it responds, is also slower and that is ok.. There is not much I can do for my broken metabolism. I monitor my hormones every 6 months and that's it...

@Cchassee this is a difficult thing. I have been celebrating tiny losses of 1lb a month or maintaining for the past 3 months. Weight loss is not linear & we just need to be consistent & patient. There is no race or finish line. Consistency is the key. Keep at it!5 -

8/10 219 This is exactly where I started last round. The difference is that I know I am up because I had a hard yoga class yesterday & my muscles are sore (not because I ate cookies). I am very close to being my normal self again. It’s a good thing because I have to work full time in September so now is the time to finish dealing with all of the mental stuff!
8/11 217.7. I feel like I will be making progress again. I said no to my family’s request for takeout supper. I did some gardening & cleaning, took a walk & did yoga.I slept better last night & FIL is coming for a visit this weekend so I need to get our house cleaner than it is so I may skip yoga & just concentrate on cleaning & gardening today after my walk.
8/12 218.6
8/13 220.2
8/14 219.6 The scale is all over the place just like my calorie & carb intake! I am going to experiment for the next month & fast Monday-Friday & eat on the weekends. We have something almost every weekend but I really want to make some progress before my niece’s wedding on September 16th. I am pretty sure I am in the right mood to do this. 🤞🏻
8/15 219.4 Well, that’s disappointing! I did eat about 300 calories because I was not keto last week so a low calorie keto day helps me fast. Hopefully the scale will make some good progress today. I will still allow miso soup today & maybe celery but that’s it. I think I have the cold that is going around our house so today will be a lazy day at home after I work for a bit this morning.
8/16 217.4 I did not fast perfectly yesterday. I had some soup that I make for breaking fasts & some chocolate 🤦♀️. Today I will make that soup again & freeze it, so that I have it on hand. I plan to fast for 5 days a week until I reach my goal. I know that it is hard but at least if I am doing this my calories stay low, even if I don’t eat, I remain low carb & I limit snacking. Eventually the 5 day fasts will be easy. I recognize that I have to be flexible since plans change. We are going out for supper to a family favourite tomorrow instead of Saturday as planned so I have to change my fasting plan so that I can enjoy the meal.
8/17 215.4. This number gives me hope. I ate low carb, focused on protein yesterday but fasted most of the day. I have a cold but slept well. My heart rate is nicely low so all of the walking & yoga has improved my health. Tonight we have supper out for our sons birthday so I will not be fasting today & tomorrow but will do a longer fast next week. Maybe even a true fast. I feel that I need to lose this weight for myself to get to the next stage in life. I am tired of my weight holding me back.

Hi again! I'm Amanda, 38F in Virginia.
SW Round 232 - 129.8
R232 GW - 128
8/10 - 129.8. I'm back again. I'm in a weird place where I don't necessarily want to focus on the number on the scale but it's the best way for me to think about what/how much I'm consuming. I've still been running a lot and lifting. My muscles are sore and tired today, TOM arrived this morning, and we went out for Mexican for dinner, so I'm holding on to some water for sure. But I still need to make better choices! Today I have a treadmill run and strength training scheduled. And today will be alcohol-free. I had margaritas at dinner and it messed up my sleep, ugh. Anyway, looking forward to the round and hope to actually see it through this time!
8/11 - 129.8 again. I ended up running outside and postponing strength training yesterday. I signed up for this run training app for a two month trial and I felt really overloaded this week. It seems like you either do 5 runs a week or 3 runs a week with no in-between. I decided to switch over to 3 a week and then will add something on my own when I want to. I am so excited for this weekend. My friend is getting married at the same venue where my husband and I got married almost 7 years ago! We're spending the weekend in a cabin with them and some of their other friends. There are a bunch of hiking and biking trails, kayaks and canoes for rent, etc. The couple is driving from 4 hours away but it's only an hour away from us (ironically it was across the country from us when we got married there; we were living in Colorado at the time!). I'll be MIA and not weighing for the weekend. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
8/12 - DNW
8/13 - DNW
8/14 - DNW. Back from the cabin/wedding weekend. I snacked a lot but I was fairly active at least. I did a 6-mile trail run yesterday for my weekly long run. It was slow but I felt like I had plenty of endurance for it. My ankle-adjacent stabilizing muscles are sore since I don't usually trail run. I think that's a lot better for me in the long run than road running, though. Joints tend to tolerate softer surfaces for longer. Today I'm doing strength work and focusing my effort on the kitchen. And water. Lots and lots of water.
8/15 - 130.0
8/16 - 130.0 Ugh. My weight is not bringing me joy. The kids were home yesterday and we went out for donuts and ate generally unhealthfully all day. I did go for a 50-minute easy run (some walking to keep my heart rate down in the heat). Today I will eat better and drink a lot of water. I have legs and core strength on the docket, but I'm having my house cleaned and I always feel weird going to work out while they're here.
8/17 - 128.0 okay! My efforts from yesterday showed up on the scale. I started feeling some existential angst yesterday and hopped on the Peloton for 20 minutes for a "Mood: anxiety" ride with an instructor I like and it sort of snapped me out of it. I feel like my husband and I have a grass-is-always-greener perspective on working vs. staying home with our small children. I think some recent changes at my sons' daycare are making me feel like I don't know what they're up to all day. I was a SAHM with my first for a couple of years and I don't think it allowed me the breathing space to be a patient/exceptional mom, and having a job gives me breathing room and a purpose outside the home (though I still think my most important purpose is at home). It also financially enables us to save money and go on fun family vacations without spending every penny we bring home. The flexibility of my job also allows me to do a lot of household chores while the kids are at daycare so I can spend high quality time with them in the evenings and on weekends. However, often, it just feels like work is pointless and I'm missing valuable time with my kids. I started therapy last week and I'm hoping to get myself sorted out and have a better understanding of my own values. Whoops, this went off on a major tangent.
My run training today is 70 minutes with "MAV Shuttles" toward the beginning. MAV stands for Maximum Aerobic Velocity. They are 20 second sprints with 20 seconds of recovery in between, 8 efforts twice, with a 3-minute recovery in between the 2 sets. Then I have to still jog for another 40ish minutes. Whew. Going to try to do it before it gets too hot.

8/10 - 185, 1346
I started my “wunning” program yesterday. Starting slowly with 3 minutes walking, 30 seconds running (ok, jogging), for 30 minutes. The short runs were easy, but did get my heart rate up, and I don’t want to overdo it and discourage myself. I went for another half-hour walk with the pup last night. I’m off in a few min for my morning “wun.” I have to say, though, that my weigh-ins are discouraging lately. Losing weight at 70 is no picnic!
8/11 - 185.2, 1417
Aww, come on. I did a 35 min interval “wun” yesterday and another dog walk in the evening, plus some gardening, and calories were controlled. I do think I’m retaining water—my legs are swollen after my wuns. I’m drinking tons of water and hoping for a whoosh soon.
8-12 - 185.2, 1237
Jeesh. So discouraging. Plus my knee hurts and I’m achy all over, I hate my hair, my skin looks blotchy and flaky, and I have nothing decent to wear that I can get into. (Just doing a grump dump!) I think I’ll skip the long walk this morning to let me knee recover, and go take out my hostilities by deadheading flowers. I hope your weekend is going better than that! 😊
8/13 - 184.6, 1615
Good morning. I’m feeling slightly better, although I’m still achy and my knee feels swollen and tight. I think I need help with some of this so tomorrow I’m going to schedule a doctor visit. I’m due anyway for my annual checkup. I’ve lapsed on taking collagen, so am getting back with that routine—helps my hair and skin, which is very dry and itchy. I have a very strong urge to cozy up the house, but no idea what and how at the moment. Browsing images online. I also have a serious urge to do some decluttering, although we don’t actually have much superfluous stuff after all the moving around we did for a decade. Weird, huh? It’s as if I need to open up space for something new. I did toss out about 15 years of journals last week—I knew I would never reread them, and I don’t want anyone else reading them if/when I die, so out they went. It gave me pause, but I threw them in the recycle bin just as the truck turned onto our street, and poof! they were gone, and I felt good about it. Now to start a new one. So that’s me strange tale for today! I do think these things are all tied to stupid eating. Have a great Sunday!
8/14 - 184.6, 1576
Ok, I’m not getting my calories down as low as I’d like, but at least I’ve been consistently below maintenance. I visited my friend who has been dealing with all sorts of health issues for the past six months and came home depressed. DH caught it even though I hadn’t said anything. I feel like I need to figure out what I really want to do with myself for the next (hopefully) decade or two, and feel like I’ve made some poor choices in the past year and now I don’t know how to undo them. So I’m going out to deadhead and weed, and maybe I’ll think of something there.
8/15 - 184.8, 1358
It’s a rainy morning, so I’m sitting under the gazebo throwing balls for Booker to take the edge off. What was I thinking, 60# puppy at 70 years old? Even with all the experience I have (30+ years training and competing in dog sports and writing about dogs), he’s a handful. A few dozen runs the length of the yard might help a little. 🤪 Anyway, it’s supposed to clear up so hopefully I’ll get a walk in later. In the meantime, a little more decluttering when I’m finished with the ball game.
8/16 - 185, 1432
Hovering. My knee feels better this morning, so I’m going for a walk, but don’t think I’ll run for a couple more days. A friend lost her mother on Monday, so I’m taking her out for lunch and then getting briefed on how to care for her three Corgis on Friday when she and her husband are gone all day for the funeral. The place she chose for lunch doesn’t offer the most diet-friendly menu, but I’ll do my best—avoid the fries at least! I’d like to avoid the sodium, too, as I’ve been retaining water for some reason, despite my generally low-salt diet. Weird. Anyway, other than laundering doggy bedding and vacuuming, that’s my thrilling plan for the day! Wishing you all a lovely day.
8/17 - 186.6, no idea calories but guessing ~2500
Ugh. Went to lunch, no diet-friendly options, had a grilled cheese (ordered sour dough bread, expecting normal sized slices, but no, they were thick), had soup as the side, tomato bisque with Gouda. They didn’t show calories on menu (no wonder), but Yikes. I did skimp on breakfast, and dinner was a stuffed green pepper, so not too bad. I know this number reflects lots of salt, so water, but still, I’m in shock. I even considered fibbing to you guys! But there it is in ugly B&W. Really disgusted/disappointed with myself.

First Round: 232
MFP SW: 324.4 lbs (joined: 07/24/23)
CSW: 312.4
RGW: ???
8/10: 312.2
8/11: 312
8/12: 312.4 (challenge start date)
8/13: 312.4
8/14: 314.4 ⬆️ (+2 lbs)
Main two reasons for the gain:
1) My legs are really swollen (have poor circulation) in my body, which can cause swelling in my legs.
2) Bad choice of having pasta for dinner last night. Causes weight gain for me. Mostly I try to always eat low carb. Not just because high carb foods can cause weight gain; but, also they tend to raise my blood sugar. (I'm a type 2 diabetic.).
Had a weakness for some pasta last night (luckily, that doesn't happen very often) Hopefully, water weight will decrease in a day or two.
8/15: 312.6 ⬇️ (-1.8 lbs) I'm grateful that most of the water increase has come off really fast and I'm back to heading in the right direction.
8/16: 312.6 ↔️. (Stalled again) It's ok. I know it'll start going in the right direction soon. 😄
8/17: 310.4 ⬇️ (-2.2 lbs) I have to keep telling myself that it's more important to eat healthier and to eat in moderation, then it is to satisfy my desire for food. Usually, it's because I get upset and I'm an emotional eater and turn to food for comfort. However, I'm learning that the long term and life changing goal to reach a healthy weight and to be happier and healthier is more important than the temporary desire to satisfy the need/want for food.
I would like to live out my senior years or the rest of my life in a healthier body and be able to get out there into the world and do things that I can't do today, because of my health and weight issues.

8/17. Great workout this morning & added the 12-3–30. I listened to a terrific podcast so I completed with (relative) ease. That was a BIG win this morning! Won’t be too hot today so I’ll finish off my 10k steps this evening. Since I’m avoiding the scale I decided to try on some pants I couldn’t zip up two weeks ago, and I they zipped-up quite easily… So that was an NSV for me and enough to make me grateful for these Herculean efforts the last couple weeks! My new routine is becoming more & more natural and I’m telling myself, “I enjoy it” until I actually FULLY enjoy it!!😂. NGL - That last 8 ounces of water right before night-night is NOT easy!

Thank you for your encouragement and wisdom. Trying to focus on NSVs and not the scale. Why is the scale such a trigger? Actually implementing the process and positive steps to improve my health is the end-game. But…. Just a little Chuckle… Am I lying to myself? Who am I kidding?! Clearly, the scale matters?!?!?!!!! For today, I am just going to focus on the fact that my pants zipped up!
I am determined to win the battle of my mind… My thoughts control my feelings and my feelings control my actions… If I can control my thoughts – then I shall win!!
Today: Stay focused, control thoughts, earn each of my check-marks and enjoy my day!
🛑🎢!
Let’s do this!🙌🏻💪🏻

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 6 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

SW Round 232 128.5
8/10 129.0 Had 4 oz brisket and did my best to rinse off that sweet sauce but it was still there. I had a no sugar whisky sour at home.
8/11 128.5 Good day yesterday. Under on all macros except fat - 7 over on that but fat satisfies. Wanted evening snack - had 1T peanut butter - the brand I have is all natural and the oil separates. I scooped out some of the pb and let the oil drip back into the jar.
8/12 128.0 Leftover pot roast and ate a few chunks of white potato and slices of carrot.
8/13 129.0 Totally okay with this. We went out to eat at a nearby Mexican restaurant. I had chips and a chimichanga and I ate the whole thing. Today, Great Greek. I’m going to change my order and get chicken instead of beef! 😱😱😱
8/14 129.0 I think I’m going to try to fast today. I need to get back in that habit. DH has left overs from Mexican and Greek.
8/15 128.5 Why was I awake at 4AM???? I gave up and got up at 4:25. Sitting here drinking coffee and reading the message board now. 90 degrees at 4AM but going down to 87 before heading back up to 105*.
8/16 128.0 Community bingo tonight. I think they’re having subs, chips and cookies or ice cream sandwiches. The dinner of champions - NOT!
8/17 129.5 Bingo was fun but dinner was worse than anticipated- pizza, chips, watermelon and ice cream sandwiches. Oh the carbs!2
