@SheilaBoneham - lovely jumper, I live the pattern, is it for yourself? I only ever knit for my little DGC (all aged 5 and under) never really tackled anything for myself.1

@deepwoodslady , I probably have not watched an entire football game in more than 16 yrs. I HAVE been distracted by TV shows and movies way too much since Spring. I definitely don't need to be losing sleep over it!

SW Round 235: 306
9/9: 306
9/10: 304.4
9/11: 304.4
9/12: 304.4
My weight seems to have stalled the last few days. Hopefully, it will start moving again soon in the right direction.
9/13: 301 (-3.4 lbs)
Finally, over the plateau and I've passed my goal for this round. (by one lb)Just two more pounds and I'll be in the 200's. It would be so nice to finally be out of the 300's and I should be able to accomplish this by the end of this round. Hopefully, 😸
9/14: 301 Seems to be every time I lose weight, there will be a day or two that I stay at that weight. But, at least it's not a gain, which I'm happy about. I guess this is what happens when you weigh daily at least for me. I did really good on my eating yesterday, and stayed will below my daily calorie amount.
9/15: 299 (-2 lbs) Yesssss! Finally down in the 200's. 😸😂
I don't buy unhealthy food or snacks to keep in my home. Because, I'd mindlessly snack if upset about something. Most food I buy (except dairy) has to be cooked, before it can be eaten. I do this to keep from mindlessly snacking, which is what I've done in the past, when I'm either upset or overly tired and don't feel like cooking. However, it's not to say I don't snack, I allow myself one or two snacks (treats) once in awhile, in individual packages, as long as it doesn't cause me to go over daily calorie intake.
9/16: 299 Won't be weighing in tomorrow. Hopefully, last day of this round will show a lose.
9/17: DNW
9/18: 299 Haven't been feeling to well lately. Hopefully, next week will be better.
September Total:
SW: 306 EW: 299
RGW: 302 (lost 3 lbs below this goal)
Total Lbs Lost: (7lbs) for my 1st round.

@musicsax Yes, it’s for me. Should be cozy for outdoor dog sports this fall. I have a Gansey nearly finish for DH—I just need to seam it and knit the collar. He doesn’t know it’s for him. 😊
Make yourself something luscious! 🧶

@pezhed Congrats on the half! I “wan” (walk/run intervals) about 8 years ago and it’s no mean feat no matter how long it takes!3

@SheilaBoneham congratulations on all your effort’s ESPECIALLY your gorgeous sweater! ❤️
@musicsax Happy 45th Anniversary! I hope y’all had a wonderful/special celebration 🍾!2 -

9/08 - 336.8
SW Round 235
9/9 - 333.9 (-2.9)
9/10 - 332.4 (-1.5)
9/11 - 333.1 (+0.7) - I had two large meals yesterday, so this really isn’t surprising. I did get my walks in though, which was nice. I also did some core work. I struggled with depression pretty heavily yesterday, so proud of what I did, even though it has led to a plus on the scale
9/12 - 333.3 (+0.2) - Overate a bit the day before, actually happy with this turn out, expecting more of a gain
9/13 - 330.2 (-3.1) - Whoosh! There went all the water weight I gained over the last two days, plus a little more down. Mostly rested on the 12th, but I do manage to push through the depression to get some housework done. I finally did some laundry! I also finally got the quarters for it yesterday. LOL Met with my dietician this morning. We decided my homework is to do some meal planning for the rest of the week, and I am to email it to her, today.
9/14 - 331.7 (+1.5) - Slept really poorly.
9/15 - 329.1 (-2.6) - I got a good night’s sleep. I cooked a homemade soup that was delicious! I managed to get in a nice trip around my block (which is just about 1/2 a mile/0.8 km). I finally, yesterday, finished off my meal plan and sent it off to my dietician.
9/16 - 329.8 (+0.7) - Slept a decent amount. Stayed on plan the day before. Woke up with depression again. I’m hoping to push it aside in a couple of hours. Laundry to do this morning and other chores. Looking forward to a productive day
9/17 - 330.0 (+0.2) - Not quite sure what is with the slow creep up, unless it's just from a bad night's sleep causing me to weigh-in earlier in the day than I would have otherwise, giving my body less time to kick out all the inflammation from the activities of the day before. Did good on Saturday, ate properly. Exercised. It was a good day.
9/18 - 328.2 KATHUNK! I am happy with this drop. It lets me know I am on track. I have been tracking food the last couple of days and it is helping me to be mindful. I have gotten in all of my exercise for the day. I had planned some strength exercises but I had a rough, not bad, but rough fall today on my way into see my doctor. I decided not to go to the ER right next door as the pain wasn’t that horrible. I think I have light sprains to both ankles, can walk without difficulty but sore in spots. My wrist is also sore meaning legs or upper body is out, along with some yoga poses. But still been a good day overall2 -
I'm in for another ten days.

About Me:This is my seventh 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.

heaviest: 294 (7/4/23)
SW: 248.2
GW (short term): 235
RGW: 245
9/9 - 247.2 - 3.69 miles - Took a walk from downtown along the river to a park by the marina and then back. It was a nice stroll even though it was a bit warm when we left. It was nice to get out of the neighborhood for once. I haven't been to the riverfront since before Covid so it was nice.
9/10 - 247.0 - 3.39 miles - Got my walk in a little late but manged to get home before it started getting really hot. I also hit most of the pokegyms in the neighborhood. I hadn't been playing much lately because I didn't feel like stopping at the gyms but I got 3 of the 4 (last one had a raid going on and that takes too long to deal with). Had a premade salad for lunch which was actually pretty filling considering it was lettuce, some turkey and ham and then I added onion and grape tomatoes. Then I had a burger and fries for dinner. I still have enough calories left to have some mango sorbet for dessert.
9/11 - 247.4 - 3.24 miles - Hmm... my weight seems to be stuck at 247. I knew this would happen eventually but I was hoping to be closer to 240 when the weightloss stalled out. I have been snacking a little bit more lately. I have Ritz Crisps, Veggie Straws and reduced fat Wheat Thins that I go back and forth with because I crave salty snacks like chips and these seem to help. But I've been having full servings which are around 130 calories. I'm going to go back to just having a half serving which is enough to get through my cravings. We'll see how that goes.
9/12 - 246.4 - 4.25 miles - Walked to the store again today. I had prescriptions to pick up so thought why not while the weather is still nice. My knee started aching about halfway through. Not sure why. It's barely bothered me since I lost all this weight but today it decided 4+ miles was too much. Hopefully it feels better in the morning so I don't have to cut my walk short tomorrow (I'll just be doing my regular three miles).
9/13 - 245.6 - 3.14 miles - Knee was still sore and stiff this morning but I still managed three miles. I was pretty worn out when I got home. That doesn't happen too often anymore. I also have been getting woken up early every day by one of our new kittens (about 4 or 5 months old) that usually sleeps in my room. She seems to think 6am is the perfect time to wake up every morning and starts batting at my head. I can usually hold her off a bit but I've mostly been getting up by 6:30 for the last couple weeks because she's so insistent on attention. I think it's catching up to me because I've been so sleepy the last couple days, especially after I spend all my energy walking.
9/14 - 246.4 - 3.13 miles - Ugh. I'm even more sore today. My knees and ankles and hips are so stiff. I mean, it's not as bad as it was when I was nearly 300lbs, but it still sucks. I've been trying to increase my pace because my average speed is 2.5 miles per hour I guess. But I think I'm just pushing too hard because I keep straining muscles all over my feet and legs. I guess I'll have to tone it down some this weekend so everything isn't hurting all of the time.
9/15 - 245.6 - 2.86 miles - My day was all messed up. I had to babysit my grandson in the morning so I couldn't go for my walk. Then my husband got home from work and decided we needed to have a surprise conversation about our relationship. He finally left me alone around 2pm, and by then it was in the upper 80s with a heat index in the mid-90s so it was too hot to walk. It was still in the low 90s at 7pm when I finally set out. But it quickly got dark although it was still really warm. I got back at 8:25. I walked for a little over an hour but it wasn't quite three miles. It's been a long day.
9/16 - 243.8 - 3.12 miles - It's been a long day, but enjoyable. My oldest son invited us all over for a picnic at his new house. So me and all the kids went (husband does not do stuff with the family and was at work when we left). We went to his house and hung out then walked to a nearby park for the picnic. It's the first time I think I've had all 5 kids and my grandson together at one time. There's usually one person always missing (either my older son or middle daughter who don't live at home anymore). So it was me, my five kids, my grandson, my son's girlfriend, my son's housemate and his son. It was a lot of fun but it was way sunnier and hotter than any of us expected. We're now all sunburned just from sitting at the picnic table. I even allowed myself half a jumbo cookie from Safeway because they just looked so good. After the picnic, we went back to his house and the kids all played Mario Kart. Unfortunately, video games give me motion sickness so that was less fun for me. And I still managed to sneak my three-mile walk in before we left and then came home and immediately cooked dinner. I think I came in under my calorie goal even with the cookie as long as I don't eat anything else tonight. It was just nice to see all the kids together.
9/17 - 243.8 - 3.33 miles - I didn't track my food today. It was just a bad day. Dramatic and emotional and I'd rather not think about it. I skipped lunch because of the stress and then made beef stew for dinner, but I didn't weigh anything before I cooked it so I had no idea how many calories were in a serving so I just had a bowl without worrying about it. Then I had some Veggie Straws as a snack before bed.
9/18 - 243.4 - 3.13 miles - Today was a much better day. No crazy dramatics. Very chill and the weather is beautiful so we could turn off the AC and open the windows for once. I did my usual three-mile walk earlier in the day which gave me all afternoon to relax and there were leftovers for dinner so I didn't have to cook. I had leftover pork roast, rice and brussels sprouts. I assume most everyone else will eat the leftover stew. I made my goal for the round (and almost to my goal for the month) so it's been a really good day.3 -

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.
