    Round 232

    145320379.png

    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.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    08/09 …..194.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

    08/10 -195.2- (Trend weight 195.6)

    08/11 - 193.8- (Trend weight 195.5)


    08/12 -192.6- (Trend weight 195.2)


    08/13 -194.2- (Trend weight 195.1) Well I guess a year has gone by very quickly. I got a call from my childhood best friend that she is on her annual vacay back to Michigan to visit family and friends. I have (since growing up) moved about 3 ½ hours north so we are coordinating when she can come stay a night or two. She understands the renovations that have just begun and that I can’t leave. So….. the self-sabotage has begun. I did not eat well yesterday but I did make sure that I offset my stupidity with some HIIT in my workout. Why can’t I just be good to myself? My trend weight still went down a bit so I’m hoping the upward change is just water retention. We’ll see.

    08/14 -194.2- (Trend weight 195.1) I cleaned up my act a bit yesterday but I could have done a little better…..or a lot better.


    08/15 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    08/16 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    08/17 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    08/18 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    08/19 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    8/14 My disappointment with the scale did not linger long yesterday. Somehow I managed to turn on a positive attitude, and stick with the health and wellness process. I actually had a great day yesterday… I’m not gonna go through all the emojis - ✅💦🚶‍♀️🍽️🤸🏼📓 I hit every measurable goal, 🎯and I feel like a winner, even though the DAMN scale s*cks big time! I must weigh-in tomorrow (UGH) because of another MFP challenge so I will stick to that commitment. I also feel as though I’ve busted through the initial days of renewed commitment and feel a strong energy to stay on the right path. For this, I am sincerely thankful. Now that I have an established routine, each day gets easier and easier!

    FYI: I’m one of these peeps that do very well eating the same breakfast every day. Since I am IF, my first meal is at noon, and my last meal is at 6 PM. My every-day first meal is one egg/two egg whites over easy and 1/2 small avocado. Oh, I do enjoy black coffee when I wake up! Between 2-3PM I have my “ACV” w/basil, and now, I simply LOVE this drink!!! (2 TB apple cider vinegar, juice of one lemon, several basil leaves, ice and water….) And since I’m on keto, I have to make sure I eat a good portion of FAT so I add my roasted /frozen butter bite and I am good to go until 5:30 PM). Dinner is 5 to 6 ounces of protein and veggie. Detox tea at bedtime… Routine is VERY good for me!

    NSW: I’m deep into this routine now, so there’s no looking back. I haven’t hosted any Pity-parties, so I have to count that as a win! Tomorrow I have to embrace another ride on the 🎢 roller coaster. It’s my hope that, with every new day the scale ⚖️ becomes less and less traumatizing. I have to say, I’m really proud of myself for NOT throwing in the towel. Losing weight is MUCH harder when you’re older… Not sure why - but it is!

    🛑🎢!
    Let’s do this!🙌🏻💪🏻
    ——————————————
    8/13 The emotional roller coaster prevails and is REAL. I’m so disappointed. I hate the scale. But I’ll keep on. Not quitting. I have stuck to the plan. Record every freaking morsel. Hit macros, hit calories…. Plan plan plan. Check off all boxes. Walk, exercise, close rings, journal, 💦💦💦. My only thought is that I’m not sleeping. I can’t sleep… Waking up at 3ish everyday. One good night in 2 weeks. I’ll think about it logically today. Or maybe I wont…. Maybe thinking too much. I wont give up.

    Good luck to everyone. Pulling for you!

    THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
    REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.
    • Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
    • A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
    • Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
    • The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
    • Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
    • The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
    • When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
    • Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
    Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

    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.

    Previous Rounds:
    RND 229 - SW: 287.8; FW: 280.4 (-7.4)
    RND 230 - SW: 280.4; FW: 276.0 (-4.4)
    RND 231 - SW: 276.0; FW: 267.2 (-8.8)

    Goals:
    * track food every day
    * walk for at least one hour and/or two miles

    Round 232
    heaviest: 294 (7/4/23)
    SW: 267.2
    GW (short term): 250
    RGW: 262

    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.
