About me:

I could not lose weight until I shifted my mindset from "trying to lose weight" by calorie counting to "trying to decrease chronic inflammation" by eating the right foods + calorie counting.

I can maintain my good health by continuing these healthy habits:
1) noticing how my clothes are fitting and getting back to the scale and consciously recalibrating my daily diet when necessary.
2) eating primarily WFPB (Whole Foods, Plant-Based) daily to keep my daily fiber intake around 40 grams. Keep noticing where I can easily make a meal only plant-based and try to have at least one vegan meal per day and at least one fully vegan day per week (this keeps me from getting lazy with vegetables and recipes).
3) limit ultra-processed foods to almost never avoid added sugar unless it's truly a special occasion and a truly delicious dessert. Road trips are a great time for splurging on grocery store precut fruits and premade fresh spring rolls.
4) use the muscles I have so I don't lose them. Muscle maintenance is metabolism maintenance.
5) alcohol is not a necessary part of any diet. Be mindful.

Short term goals:
1)maintain my current physical fitness level and healthy diet
2)lose a little bit of extra fat

Plan to accomplish goals:
1)do something fun that challenges my fitness level at least once a week
2)be serious about no added sugar. I am addicted. I cannot control myself with "just a little bit."
3)weigh-in and track the trend weight.
4)set MFP diary settings to maintain weight at 1500 calories per day with macro goals set to 50% carbs, 20% protein, 30% fat. Try to keep weekly average of net calories within the 1500-2000 calories range dependent on exercise. As long as I meet my protein and fiber goals the carbs and fat seem to fall into place and as long as my weekly net calories are around 1800-2000 I seem to maintain weight even without extra exercise so just being more conscious of not going above 2000 should be enough. Thank you, strength training!

Round Goal: get the trend weight into 131.x and at least one of the daily weights into the 120s.

10/19Trend weight: 132.1 I kept to my plan. Really big breakfast, medium lunch, and small dinner is the routine I'm practicing right now.
10/20Trend weight: 132.1 Same same same. With the amount I'm strength training I can at least be sure that there is no "maintenance" going on. I have to remind myself that no one else cares what I weigh. It's not a number we pin on our shirts. My work-in-progress butt, on the other hand, is looking so good it's a service to the community.
10/21Trend weight: 132.1 This is day six of no scale change. Will power to not restrict calories made me eat a big bowl of beans for breakfast so that I won't overeat later tonight. So a NSV already achieved today in that despite my frustration with the scale, I'm still fueling myself appropriately.
10/22 Trend weight: 132.1 Day seven no scale change but I can see changes in myself. I may go another week in the 1800-2000 range as I'm still struggling to rid myself of my late-night snacking habit. Until that habit is gone gone gone it's probably best I don't restrict calories.
10/23 Today's weight: 132.2 Trend weight: 132.1 Reading my own posts I think it's best if I keep doing more of the same and don't try to change. Working on one little habit at a time.
10/24Trend weight: 132.2 I added a new exercise I've been practicing daily for a couple weeks now that I wanted to share with y'all. An inflatable balance disk (super cheap and travel friendly) has been great to strengthen my ankles and hips after my hiking trip highlighted those weaknesses. I just stand on one leg on the balance disk while doing the regular dumbbell exercises. It really has helped me fire up the glutes.
10/25Trend weight: 132.2 Hmmph. I wish it would go down...but... yesterday I pulled out some jeans that I almost threw away two years ago when I was at my lowest weight. 39F 5'4"

10/25Trend weight: 132.2 I'm in a battle to not restrict calories right now trying to get back to my lowest weight and am focusing intently on the other things. Remember I said I suffered from severe pancake butt after my initial weight loss? This pair of jeans I put on yesterday, a pair that I almost threw away two years ago because they were too big in a very bad way, fit me again. There was nothing but sag sag saggy saggy sag in those jeans. No butt and skinny thighs swimming in them. They made me feel terrible about myself but I couldn't throw them away because they're Levi's and once upon a time I felt so sexy in them. I put them on yesterday and I filled them out! My waist is the same tape measurement as two years ago but I've gained back two inches, two inches!, in my hips! Don't forget to "build your booty," people. It's been a long process to build these muscles up and I wish I'd have worked on it from the beginning.

SW RND 239: 129.4#
Goals: Strength training 5x/week; follow nutrition plan; 64 oz water daily; maintain wt 128#; minimal to zero alcohol

10/19 127.9# I almost fell off the scale this morning. 128# has been my MFP goal weight to reach before my 70th BD next month since the beginning of the year. I didn’t expect this as I was out of town and not using my home scale. Frankly now that I hit that number I don’t really care. I just want to be a healthy and strong bada$$ 70 year old woman to inspire my kids.
10/20 128.6# ST ✅ nutrition plan✅ no ETOH✅ need to up H2O
10/21 129.4# I indulged in pasta and a lovely white wine last evening. Back to plan today. Heading out for a walk now that the rain ended. Have a great week everyone.
10/22 128.8# Yesterday was cardio day so I took a great hike among the glorious New England trees. Afternoon was football and rest which I needed.
10/23 I think I messed up and missed a day
10/24 128.6#
10/25 129.0# Working on an attitude of gratitude today. My head needs an adjustment.

10/24 -DNP- (Trend weight DNP) I had a nice day yesterday traveling and shopping with my son. I ate breakfast food for lunch (restaurant) in order to keep the carbs down. However, my son chose Golden Corral for dinner so there’s that…….We didn’t get home until maybe around 8:30 pm so I was able to skip any further food except a handful of pecan halves very late last night to keep me satisfied. Lots of walking yesterday through the malls and stores. Today I am blah. It’s rainy and cool and gray. I don’t even think I’ll get dressed today but I will try to fit in some exercise later…..maybe…. I just need a minute.

10/25 -186.8- (Trend weight 186.2) Well, there it is. That pesky travel weight. TMI sure would have helped, but nothing. I’ve been fitting in some minor exercise the past couple of days, but have mostly been inactive in-between. That’s not helping. Diet was on point yesterday so there’s that.

10/25 - 154.4 - Cheese from enchiladas. Took my lactose pills but they can only help so much when I overindulge in dairy products. I expected it. I'm also very sore in my calves (woke up with calf cramps about 3am) and upper back from the rower yesterday. I pedaled on the bike just hard enough to raise my heart rate and almost sweat (didn't want to shower again) for 15 minutes and found a nice break in the rain to walk the dogs this morning once it was light enough out. Due to work commitments/meetings, we are changing our Thirst Thursdays to Wednesdays - our dinner planned for tonight will then be postponed until tomorrow night and we'll go out this evening instead. This helps me with my weekly Friday weigh-ins I do for another group I'm in. Still eating my chicken and rice soup and 1/2 baked sweet potato for lunches the rest of this week so I'm on track with veg!

Previous Day's Comments

10/19 - Not bad. I did have extra calories and enjoyed a (weighed) bowl of tiramisu gelato after dinner. I also took my lactose pills which is why I'm not up more than the 0.1lb. Today was a chilly walk with dogs, a lot of work getting done, and then Thirsty Thursday later with dinner out. I have leftover peppersteak to eat on for lunch and hopefully that will hold me over until dinner. Not much else to post other than it's a busy "Friday" (off tomorrow for 9/80) with a lot of deadlines tomorrow (AKA today).
10/20 - Plans went haywire, work went crazy. BF went to Thirsty Thursday but came home for dinner since I got bombarded with back-to-back work calls from 1-4:30 in the afternoon. Managed to get everything done and finish my work to meet deadline (today, but I'm off) and then threw together a dinner from what we had available in the house. Good news, everyone loved the dinner despite it being last minute (and I was missing a couple ingredients I improvised on). Then BF wanted a sweet treat so I introduced him to mug brownies (he's not a cake guy so I found a recipe for a brownie instead.) Naturally, I had to try it and I was still recovering from the stress of work. It'll catch up to me tomorrow, I'm sure. I did an easy 25 minute run up the big hill this morning. High school football game tonight (Goddaughter is cheering at it as the final event for cheer camp - to cheer with the high school girls at the game). Think we're going to a friend's for tacos/fajitas before the game but not 100% sure. No clue on lunch but will improvise, as usual. I have some frozen broccoli steamables I can make something up with.

10/23 - Crazy busy weekend and I was up late last night. I was rushed to get to my desk to work as I slept through my alarm this morning and didn't have chance to weigh. Also, there was a small gap in the rain to get the dogs out for their morning potty and I wanted to ensure they didn't have to get soaked first thing. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I'm making a ginger turmeric chicken and rice soup and roasting a couple sweet potatoes for lunches this week once my call ends. Dinner is a heavier, but still decent, nutrition-wise, salisbury steak with green beans and mashed potatoes so I'm hoping the scale isn't showing a terrible uptick from a not-great weekend. No running this week due to rain forecasted every day so I'll be supplementing with the rower or stationary bike and some bodyweight or kettlebell strength workouts. Will need to find ways to increase steps and calorie burn. Plenty of catching up to try to sneak in at some point in the coming days.
10/24 - I imagine some of this is from salt at dinner last night and not all damage from the weekend. I'm feeling bloated and heavy like I'm hanging on to a lot more water than yesterday. Yesterday was a total wash - I didn't manage a single thing. I was in a mood - just bleh, not interested in anything but getting the day over with and starting fresh today. Today is already better. It's pouring rain so no walk or run - the dogs are very upset and will continue to be if the forecast is accurate. Every day this week will be rainy. I did a 20 minute rower workout instead and managed to convince myself to start before I procrastinated too long. Huge win! I think tomorrow, since it is supposed to rain, I'll do a bike workout and then Thursday will be rowing again to change it up but still get my 3 days of cardio. Friday morning I have StretchZone so no workout, but my muscles will be thanking me I'm sure. I failed to do any kind of strength training yesterday so I'll have to find one more rowing workout that is similar enough to today's - it has both strength and cardio built into it so I can count it towards both. That should help me meet my goal of 3 days cardio, 2 days strength for the week despite the rain and a rough Monday start hehe I made a delicious soup for lunches this week and I highly recommend it - I didn't follow the recipe exact, but close enough. It's very earthy and tasty. I'll share at the bottom of this post for anyone interested.

10/25 128.0 Dermatology appointment yesterday was good and quick. Went to help daughter with projects for Fall Students Giant Farmers Market. Produce grown in school gardens and crafts made (mostly) by kids for sale to raise money for next season’s gardens. The project I was working on involved a hot glue gun - not a kid friendly item but the kids had cut out ghosts for Halloween and “Christmas” trees for winter. Today DH and I are going to lun-ner (Golden Corral) with neighbor friend who is driving back to Chicago on Friday. DSIL is very sick, youngest DGD seems to be getting sick, DD realized her throat was scratchy last night.

GW: 262 by 2/7/24

Goals: Log every day and remember that every day is one step closer, and that sometimes the plan has to be rewritten and that's ok!

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. 😂

10/20: 275.4; probably water weight from eating salty food for dinner

However I got 30 minutes of activity today.
10/21: 273.6 Date night ❤️
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 🫠🫠
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 (goal? We'll see on the 28th) Taking a much needed rainy day mental health break. 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 🥣

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.

* OR go to the gym and do 15 minutes on the bike and 30 minutes on the treadmill

Round 238
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.

Thurs.19.10:
Well, I messed up yesterday. I didn’t have my afternoon smoothie until I was making dinner, and then I wasn’t hungry for dinner. Ended up under 900 calories, which is right back where we started this whole thing. Planning a higher calorie day today so my weekly average works out in the right range.

Disappointed with this weekend. A lot was going on, and I let it get to me. Power outage, wildfire, and my partner was gone all weekend at a mate’s for “boy’s weekend”. I know it’s only a matter of a few days back on track to get back down, but I’m still disappointed with how I chose to respond to the stress and disruptions to my schedule.

Tues.24.10:
Feeling pretty crappy today. A combination of stress and general lack of energy because it’s so damn hot. I just need to stick to the plan, and my body will sort itself back out. Whole foods, macros and calories in the right place. It’s not that hard, but after this weekend I just keep craving sugar.

Weds.25.10:
Late post today. Overall good day, albeit too low in calories. It was just too damn hot to eat. Got a walk in late this arvo once it had cooled off. We're supposed to have rain the next few days, and cyclone strength winds, so that should be interesting.

Thurs.26.10:
Walk this morning along the beach while waiting for my daughter to do her last exam of the week. Senior year is a bit different here, and they have their final exams over a 3 week period at the end of the school year. They might have only one exam, or they may have two in a day. Since she only had one today I didn’t want to drive her all the way to school (a 20 minute drive - I’ve gotten spoiled with not driving. 20 minutes would have been nothing back home 😅) and then back home to just drive back two hours later. So I went for a walk instead. It was pretty damn hot even though it was still morning, about 33c/91f at 9am. Glad I got that done since I won’t be getting out this afternoon for a walk with the storms coming. Making better choices with foods again this week. I think it’s just too easy to fall into the “convenience” trap. Especially when I’m out, or not able to stick to my regular schedule. I just need to keep in mind the work I’ve put in, and not let myself do anything to send me backwards.

10/21-168-Rode the horse this morning and now for yard work and a trip to the native plant sale. Heading to a fundraiser tonight and will try to avoid carbs including alcohol.
10/23-168-Glad it’s Monday so I can start fresh including a trip to the chiropractor. Still planting the yard and will try to get to a couple more nurseries today, then I will have been to everyone and will know what each has to offer.
10/24-169-Hmmmm….not wise eating and no exercise is a bad combo. Yoga today and more yard work and some cleaning house.
10/26-167-Gals came over to sew and left fairly early so I got outside to work in the yard. Heading to Quilts of Honor for a sew day with a wonderful group of ladies. Hopefully I will get home early enough to ride the horse.

Didja miss me? Our internet has been out since 10/20, finally fixed yesterday. I’d go to a nearby Starbucks once a day, sit in the parking lot, and check email, but that’s about all. I felt a bit isolated, but also, with no tv, got a lot of reading and knitting done! But we’re happy to have it fixed, finally — they had to run a new cable. So, I’m baaaaack! I did weigh in every morning, but didn’t record my weights. No biggie. 😁
