    Iโ€™m a 5โ€™2โ€, soon to be eligible for Medicare girl from the Pacific Northwest. My birthday is mid November and I would like to be in the 135-138 range as a gift to myself. Round 237 was a good start to moving the number on my scale in the right directionโ€ฆ now to keep the motivation in high gear! So far my strategy includes lots of water ๐Ÿ’ง and less wine, increasing my daily steps ๐Ÿ‘ฃ, at least 3 times a week strength training ๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ and no ๐Ÿšซ munching after 8 p.m. Letโ€™s do this!

    Back for another round.

    Jen; 46; 5'4"

    About Me:
    This is my eleventh 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. I'm a mom of five and grandma of one 4yo that I babysit during the week when my daughter is working.

    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)
    RND 235 - SW: 248.2; EW: 243.4 (-4.8)
    RND 236 - SW: 243.4; EW: 243.0 (-0.4) :'(
    RND 237 - SW: 243.0; EW: 237.4 (-5.6) !
    RND 238 - SW: 237.4; EW: 232.8 (-4.6)
    Total Lost: 55lbs

    Goals:
    * track food every day
    * walk for at least one hour and/or 3 miles every day
    * OR go to the gym and do 15 minutes on the bike and 30 minutes on the treadmill

    Round 239
    heaviest: 294 (7/4/23)
    SW: 232.8
    GW (short term): 220
    RGW: 229

    10/19 - 231.8 - 3.33 miles - Got out for my walk late because I was working on notes for a story I'm writing for NaNoWriMo. Then I had to cut the walk short because I took too long and needed to pick my daughter up from work. Still got in a good amount of walking anyway. Then I just spend the whole day writing backstories for minor characters and having way too much fun. But it kept me from thinking about snacking all day.

    10/20 - 231.8 - 3.7 miles - Did an extra long walk and then got a little more exercise later walking down to the creek near our house. It's a very steep walk that switch backs a couple times with stairs that are like 10" high. It's just a rough walk, but my daughter wanted to do her senior pictures on what looks like the last nice day before the pictures are due (in two weeks). So down I went. Took like hundred pictures and we only liked a few and most of those wouldn't be acceptable for the school (not the right pose) but she wants to put them on her instagram instead. So now I have to spend the weekend going through the pictures, picking the best ones and editing them in photoshop. Hopefully we can find one that really works.

    10/21 - 231.0 - 3.57 miles - The weather has taken a turn. It was in the 70s and sunny the last few days, but the temps are supposed to continue to drop the next two weeks with rain. Today was in the 60s and dreary out, but the rain stayed away for my entire walk. In fact, it was just when I got back to the house that I started to feel sprinkles. So perfect timing. Made flounder for supper. Couldn't decide on a recipe to try so just did a bunch and everyone took small pieces of the different kinds to decide which was their favorite. Me and my oldest daughter like the plain butter and dill ones the best while my son and grandson like the one with breadcrumbs and parmesan. I didn't even have a recipe for the dill one, I just had a taste for dill (I even put some on my mashed potatoes) and I know it pairs well with fish. The fish was a big success and now I think I know which ones I'll make next time.

    10/22 - 230.6 - 3.58 miles - Waited to do my walk until after the football game was over which was around 1pm. That was a good choice because it was raining when I got up at 8:30am, and when the game ended it was dreary but only sprinkled a little on the entire 75 minutes I was out. It's supposed to be like this most of this week, but next week the rains are supposed to come on strong (just in time for Halloween, of course). I'll be taking walks outside for as long as I possibly can.

    10/23 - 229.4 - 3.64 miles - Pulled out a pair of sweats I bought a couple years ago that got too small. They were comfy standing up but my ankles/calves were so swelled that when I sat, the cuffs would cut off circulation in my legs and hurt. I had to tie them tight because the elastic was too loose. They're still too snug for my liking when I sit down (I just like really loose clothes), but they're going to be perfect for walking now that the temperatures are dropping. Dropped below 230lbs for the first time in probably 20 years. I'm still in shock at how much weight I've lost in this short of time. I never thought I'd see the scale in the 220s again. And here I am aiming for under 200 and thinking I might actually do it this time (I've done calorie tracking before but always gave up after a month or two but it's really stuck this time). Every time I think about having a "cheat" day or giving up or whatever, I look at the most recent number and think, do I really want to take two steps back? I know I'll get back down again, but do I really want to waste two days doing it? So far the answer has always been no and I just keep carrying on losing weight.

    10/24 - 230.2 - 2.34 miles (walk) - 3.9 miles (bike) - The rains started so I headed to the gym today. There was no one around so decided to use the weight machines. I did the lightest weight on the bench press, lightest weight for the butterfly one (15lbs) and 30lbs on the pulldown machine. I did 3 sets of 10 reps each. Will probably add some more sets next time. I then did my regular bike for 15 minutes and walk for 30 minutes on the treadmill. Sadly, I was back over 230lbs this morning. Guess I overestimated the amount of steak I had for lunch and rice/stir fry for dinner. Not a big deal. I cut back on both when I had leftovers and now I have a bunch of extra calories left (might have a bag of popcorn later). We'll see how it goes tomorrow. Hoping to see it back to 229 something.

    10/25 - 228.2 - 3.63 miles - Had to watch my grandson today. Could have gone on my walk before my husband left for work but decided to wait until my daughter got home around 3pm. It was a good choice because it rained all morning and stopped by the time I went for my walk so I got to stay outside instead of going to the gym. And I wasn't feeling those arm exercises last night, but they sure caught up with me today. Ouch.

    10/26 - 228.4 - 2.43 miles (walk) - 3.8 miles (bike) - It wasn't raining today, but it was really chilly when I left around noon. And my daughter has stolen my warm hoodie and won't give it back. So I went to the gym. Did some more arm exercises (so sore now) and my usual routine of 15 minutes on the bike and 30 minutes on the treadmill, but I upped it to 3.1mph which was definitely pushing me more than usual (my average speed outside is 2.7mph which is what I usually start at). Had the last of the stir fry chicken and veggies (with no rice) for lunch which was not much. Then we had turkey tacos for dinner. I'm still kind of hungry since I didn't have much lunch so I shall distract myself with outlining my novel that I will start writing in *checks notes* six days. Yikes. I can't believe October is almost over.

    10/27 - 227.6 - 3.49 miles - Was nice and sunny today if a bit chilly. I was comfortable in a light sweater for most of it because walking gets me sweaty. Until the wind started gusting. That sucked and then I'd get into a shady area where the wind was gusting and just ugh. Couldn't wait to get home. Other than that, I haven't gotten anything done today.

    10/28 - 226.4 - 4.4 miles - Decided to get my flu shot and Covid booster today. I hadn't a flu shot since 2019 I think, and my last Covid booster was January 2022. I so far haven't gotten Covid which is shocking because I usually catch everything. I walked over there then bought a few groceries and walked home. My arms are sore but I can't tell if it's from the vaccines or from carrying stuff two miles home. Possibly both. I had a light lunch and a couple small turkey tacos for dinner, so I have room tonight to have a bag of microwave popcorn.

    About me: F/41/5'7
    HW 327 (Feb. 2010)
    OSW (on MFP): 301
    SW for this challenge: 274.6
    Round GW: 273.5
    GW: 262 by 2/7/24
    232 by 8/28/24
    192 by 2/14/25
    180 by 7/31/25

    Goals: Log every day and 20 minutes of activity

    10/19: 274.6. Had a meeting in another town and planned to park a ways away and get my walking in beforehand, but traffic was backed up so by the time I got to the building I was already late; I went to the wrong building and ended up walking 4 blocks unintentionally, then parked a ways away from the place I picked up dinner and so I got most of my walking done. ๐Ÿ˜‚

    10/20: 275.4; probably water weight from eating salty food for dinner :p However I got 30 minutes of activity today.
    10/21: 273.6
    10/22: 274 still here! Grocery shopping done for the week; bought lots of easy, good for me stuff that won't take a lot of time. Looking forward to getting some extra steps in at work tomorrow.
    10/23: I'm cooking about it--roasted tomato and chicken pasta. Saved a lot of calories for dinner by having a stressful day at work ๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿซ 
    10/24: didn't weigh--had to leave work sick. Stress will catch up with you, that's for sure. Even if you think you're past something your body is still reacting to what it goes through when you see the bear

    10/25: 273.2. Taking a much needed mental health day. Mostly. Still checking work email and keeping one meeting but i plan to use some time today to make some healthy soup so i can have dinner and lunches for the rest of the week ๐Ÿฅฃ

    10/26: 272.6. The fall is officially here in the PNW. ๐ŸBusy day! Working from home so I'm making some turkey chili from scratch.

    10/27: 272. I'm 10 pounds away from winning my 30 pound DietBet challenge, and i have 3 months left to lose the rest. ๐ŸŽ‰ bring on the Halloween movie snacks ๐ŸŽƒ
    10/28: 271.6--made it to Day 10 and i am happy and surprised that i exceeded my goal. Had a blast mushroom hunting in the forest today ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ„ I really hope this gorgeous weather holds up so we can get back out tomorrow.

    I am about 12 kg along the way to lose 32 kg. I use multiple tape measurements (cm) around my body because they aren't affected by salt intake. Apparently I've been trying to lose weight since September 2012, the last time I was at goal weight. Let's see if stopping eating sugary food is going to change things.

    Heaviest ever 1st Jan 2021, goal+31.8 kg

    March 2022, started measuring system 867.0 cm total

    Round 237 800.5 cm
    Round 238 796.0

    Here are my measurements, bolded means a column number is 0.5 cm less than the previous bolded column number and is used to sum the total measurement.

    101.0 91.5 101.5 57.0 46.5 56.5 46.0 100.5 93.5 103.0 19th Oct
    101.5 92.0 101.5 56.5 46.0 56.0 46.0 102.5 94.0 103.0 20th
    102.5 92.0 102.5 57.0 47.5 56.0 46.5 103.0 93.0 102.0 22nd
    101.0 91.0 101.0 57.0 47.0 56.5 46.0 103.5 91.0 102.5 23rd
    100.5 89.5 101.0 56.5 46.0 56.0 45.5 103.0 92.0 102.0 24th
    101.0 90.5 101.5 56.0 47.0 56.0 46.0 102.0 92.0 102.5 25th
    101.0 91.0 102.0 57.0 46.0 57.0 46.0 99.5 92.5 101.0 28th

    The total is 791.5 cm, a loss from the previous round.

    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!

    Hi, I'm Charissa

    Thank you, again, QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!

    62 y/o female
    OSW 2022-03 230.3
    1SW 2023-01 221.8

    Previous Goals per Round
    Round 236, resumed my mandatory treadmill M-F 30 minute minimum!!
    Round 237, increased from 30 minutes to 40 minutes minimum!
    Round 238, returning to IF and adding healthy habits from Apple Watch promptings. 1 out of 2, IF left me very hungry this round so eating something small when I get hungry, then eating a reasonable lunch (under 300 cal) and saving the rest for dinner. I guess still IF, just shorter windows (about 14 hours). Closing more difficult rings on my watch = success!
    Round 239, Continue all of the above! Increase Water

    Goals This Round per Day:
    - Tracking to the best of my ability ๐ŸŽand staying under calorie budget (just say NO!)
    - Water (Goal 64 oz/SS and 96oz M-F) : โœ…
    - Closing my rings (which I've made a bit more difficult): ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿฝ

    10/19 215.8 (+1.2/+1.2) ~ So yesterday's weight was kind of a fluke....but it made me end the round on a low point, which sets the bar for this round so I guess it's all good (motivation, maybe). Yesterday was a salty day so I'm thinking water retention. Lots of water today!
    10/20 215.4 (-.4/+.8) ~
    10/21 215.1 (-.3/+.5)
    10/22 215.3 (+.2/+.7)
    10/23 215.8 (+.5/+1.2) :(
    10/24 216.0 (+.2/+1.4) Bad water day and I fought between real rice and cauliflower rice. The real rice won.
