    I'm Amanda, back again for another round. I'm 5'2", 38F in Virginia.

    SW Round 235: 125.8
    GW Round 235: 124.8

    Non-scale goals:
    💪🏻 work out 8/10 days
    ✏️ track food 6/10 days
    💧 drink 64oz of water 10/10 days
    AF alcohol-free 5/10 days

    9/9 - 💧 - DNW
    9/10 - 💧 💪🏻 - DNW
    9/11 - AF 💧 💪🏻 - DNW
    9/12 - AF💪🏻- 127.4 ugggh, starting fresh after the weekend. I went way off track and am clawing my way back. I had a decent day yesterday and plan to continue today. I took the dogs for my easy "run" (really a walk/jog) and did a core workout. Hoping to also do some upper body strength training. My littlest is starting swim lessons today. He has them Tuesday and Thursday from 5 to 5:30. It's going to make our weeknights busy since we are usually early dinner-eaters, so I'm going to have to get creative about feeding the family. Thankfully DH will take care of it this evening while I take him to his first lesson.

    9/13 - 💧 💪🏻126.6 - Can't seem to get through a whole day of tracking. I started yesterday and couldn't get it together to track dinner + the snacks after dinner. My husband made udon noodle soup for dinner which filled zero of our bellies, though it tasted delicious. We had so many snacks afterward I undoubtedly did some damage. Today is a 35-minute run. The half marathon is on Sunday! Eek! Can someone tell my 2 year old to let me sleep through the night on Saturday? Getting a full night's sleep sure would go a long way at this point.

    9/14 - AF 💧 💪🏻126.8 - Went to a first birthday party where the beer was plentiful and only had 1. I know, sounds weird to have beer at a first birthday party to some, but the attendees were primarily adults. They had Chipotle catering which was sooo good. I had one small tortilla but kept it pretty light overall. I did have cake, no regrets about that! Still can't seem to get myself to track. Today is strength training plus a dog walk between work stuff and getting dinner together. I'm going to get some seafood from the fish truck that comes to town on Thursdays.

    9/15 - AF 💧 💪🏻 126.0 - Ugh I have a way to go to reach my goal for the round. Going to have to not derail my progress over the weekend. The weather forecast for my half marathon is out - it's going to rain through the entire thing. Which means I'm telling my family to stay home and I'm going to get soaked. I was going to bike to the start line since they are having runners park in one spot and shuttle to the start, but I don't want to be drenched at the beginning of the race so I may subject myself to driving and shuttle after all. I have my final training run today! It's been easy to minimize my alcohol intake this week since I know I want to feel top notch on Sunday for the race. Why don't I always want to feel top notch? Long term pain for short term gain? And what am I really gaining in the short term? This week is really making me rethink my habits.

    9/16 - AF 💧 125.8 I think, I forgot very quickly this morning. Weekends always break my brain a little. Carb loading today and not too concerned about intake. We went to Noodles & Co for lunch because I read carb loading is better to do at lunch time than dinner time the day before a race.
    Dinner will be creamy shrimp over the many acorn squashes we have from our CSA. Trying to drink a lot of water too. Hope everyone’s weekend is going well. Hard for me to read much with the kiddos around.

    9/17 - 💧 💪🏻127.4 Expected gain from all the carbs yesterday. Definitely went over calories too but oh well. The half marathon was this morning and I PRed! I am not a fast runner by any definition but I’m glad I finished it.

    9/18 - 127.4. Again, not surprised, but kinda bummed to show a 1.6 lb gain from the start of the round. Onward! My body is so broken from yesterday; I did not show discipline managing my speed. My hips and knees are aching. I was determined to break my PR from 10 years ago when I was 28 years old. Unwise. Today I am just going to do some good leg-intensive yoga and hope I can feel whole tomorrow. See everyone in the next round!

    We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

    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

    Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

    "Do or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

    SW Round 235 128.0 AW 129.0
    9/9 128.0 Awake several times during the night, up at 4:30. Enjoyed going to the movie after lunch (avoided popcorn) and we thoroughly enjoyed the movie - “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3”
    9/10 128.0 Great Greek today
    9/11 128.5 Had 1/2 pita and a big glass of wine in the evening
    9/12 129.5 I am adding waaaaay too much cream to too many cups of coffee!
    9/13 130.0 I finished the bottle of wine.
    **After drinking the pot of coffee and a TMI I decided to weigh the cat which, of course, involved re-weighing myself. Oskar who has been doing increasingly LOWER calories has gained 0.5# and I am a pound lighter than 5 hours ago. 🤷‍♀️
    9/14 128.5 I don’t know why my phone has been cutting off the last word when I copy and paste. Irritating!
    9/15 128.0 Tonight we’re going to a comedy show at one of the casinos.
    9/16 129.5 No TMI Chinese for OMAD yesterday, ate about 1/2c of steamed rice and “half” of my Kung Pao chicken (supposed to be a good choice) but probably not enough water.
    9/17 130.0 No TMI Ate steak and 1/2 of a baked acorn squash and finished my Chinese
    9/18 130.0 Finally TMI after weighing and drinking coffee. Yesterday Great Greek - side salad and 1/2 steak skewer

    9/18 - 185.8
    Finally! Yesterday was a good day. I went for a 3 mile walk on the river greenway in the morning and another 25 minute walk in the evening. I ate responsibly. I did a little garden cleanup. I took a nap. And I finished a sweater I’ve been knitting—yay! Here ‘tis. Enjoy your Sunday!

    @SheilaBoneham The sweater is INCREDIBLE. Is there anything you Can't do? LOL. I hope whoever wears this will do so with the pride it deserves!

    Round 235

    145320379.png

    MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
    ROUND 192 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
    R234 EW= 192.0
    R235 EW= 190.4


    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.

    65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 235 (my 165th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, so grateful.
    Goal this round is to get under and stay under 140. Holiday is now in 2 days! Most of holiday clothes do feel more comfortable as although not lost what I wanted, I have been doing toning exercises. Want to more or less maintain whilst away & I won’t have scales so although I’m on holiday try to stick with 1 treat and 1 adult beverage a day.
    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.

    I'm Amanda, back again for another round. I'm 5'2", 38F in Virginia.

    SW Round 235: 125.8
    GW Round 235: 124.8

    Non-scale goals:
    💪🏻 work out 8/10 days
    ✏️ track food 6/10 days
    💧 drink 64oz of water 10/10 days
    AF alcohol-free 5/10 days

    9/9 - 💧 - DNW
    9/10 - 💧 💪🏻 - DNW
    9/11 - AF 💧 💪🏻 - DNW
    9/12 - AF💪🏻- 127.4 ugggh, starting fresh after the weekend. I went way off track and am clawing my way back. I had a decent day yesterday and plan to continue today. I took the dogs for my easy "run" (really a walk/jog) and did a core workout. Hoping to also do some upper body strength training. My littlest is starting swim lessons today. He has them Tuesday and Thursday from 5 to 5:30. It's going to make our weeknights busy since we are usually early dinner-eaters, so I'm going to have to get creative about feeding the family. Thankfully DH will take care of it this evening while I take him to his first lesson.

    9/13 - 💧 💪🏻126.6 - Can't seem to get through a whole day of tracking. I started yesterday and couldn't get it together to track dinner + the snacks after dinner. My husband made udon noodle soup for dinner which filled zero of our bellies, though it tasted delicious. We had so many snacks afterward I undoubtedly did some damage. Today is a 35-minute run. The half marathon is on Sunday! Eek! Can someone tell my 2 year old to let me sleep through the night on Saturday? Getting a full night's sleep sure would go a long way at this point.

    9/14 - AF 💧 💪🏻126.8 - Went to a first birthday party where the beer was plentiful and only had 1. I know, sounds weird to have beer at a first birthday party to some, but the attendees were primarily adults. They had Chipotle catering which was sooo good. I had one small tortilla but kept it pretty light overall. I did have cake, no regrets about that! Still can't seem to get myself to track. Today is strength training plus a dog walk between work stuff and getting dinner together. I'm going to get some seafood from the fish truck that comes to town on Thursdays.

    9/15 - AF 💧 💪🏻 126.0 - Ugh I have a way to go to reach my goal for the round. Going to have to not derail my progress over the weekend. The weather forecast for my half marathon is out - it's going to rain through the entire thing. Which means I'm telling my family to stay home and I'm going to get soaked. I was going to bike to the start line since they are having runners park in one spot and shuttle to the start, but I don't want to be drenched at the beginning of the race so I may subject myself to driving and shuttle after all. I have my final training run today! It's been easy to minimize my alcohol intake this week since I know I want to feel top notch on Sunday for the race. Why don't I always want to feel top notch? Long term pain for short term gain? And what am I really gaining in the short term? This week is really making me rethink my habits.

    9/16 - AF 💧 125.8 I think, I forgot very quickly this morning. Weekends always break my brain a little. Carb loading today and not too concerned about intake. We went to Noodles & Co for lunch because I read carb loading is better to do at lunch time than dinner time the day before a race.
    Dinner will be creamy shrimp over the many acorn squashes we have from our CSA. Trying to drink a lot of water too. Hope everyone’s weekend is going well. Hard for me to read much with the kiddos around.

    9/17 - 127.4 Expected gain from all the carbs yesterday. Definitely went over calories too but oh well. The half marathon was this morning and I PRed! I am not a fast runner by any definition but I’m glad I finished it. Here I am with my sweet boys after the finish 🙂

    @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.

    @tiabirdie56 The TV got me last night too. My 3 hours of sleep was because I stayed up to binge watch Unprisoned with Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo. It's streaming on HULU. Really good and I just kept watching one right after another. I'll watch more tonight......

    @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!

    Female 6'0"
    Age: 60

    RSW: 306
    RGW: 302

    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!

    SW: 343
    GW: 322.2
    UGW: 120
    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 overall

    I'm in for another ten days.

    Jen; 46; 5'4"

    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.

    Previous Rounds:
    RND 229 - SW: 287.8; EW: 280.4 (-7.4)
    RND 230 - SW: 280.4; EW: 276.0 (-4.4)
    RND 231 - SW: 276.0; EW: 267.2 (-8.8)
    RND 232 - SW: 267.2; EW: 262.0 (-5.2)
    RND 233 - SW: 262.0; EW: 252.8 (-9.2)
    RND 234 - SW: 252.8; EW: 248.2 (-4.6)

    Goals:
    * track food every day
    * walk for at least one hour and/or 3 miles every day

    Round 235
    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.
