Round 243
Nov 28 – Dec 7, 2023

61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).

SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126

Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.

History:

Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a DGS, and second GS on the way. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment

11/28 – 127.6 I am NOT multi-tasking well. Despite not reporting in or sharing with the group, I have stepped on the scale every single morning. So at least I am seeing the consequences of my actions/inactions. Hubby leaves town for two weeks starting the 30th. Typical behavior is to not cook and eat ice cream for dinner while he is away. Soooo, my goal is to get back to tracking and to actually eat real meals. It’s funny, I am actually feeling lost on how to track and eat real meals. So crazy as I was doing it efficiently for roughly 9 months before fumbling. I know I can do this, I just need to be sure to. Let start December well!! Wishing everyone well!

11/29 – 127.8 Ice cream sources and leftovers (dessert and others) are GONE. Now to fully track my day!

11/28 Yesterday: ✅ 1100 cal, macros 6.8k 🚶‍♀️, 78 min ex, 23 min 💓Z2, 🔥Total 619 cal. Opted out of an add’l walk cuz of fast. ✅ Calisthenics & stretching. Will 🏋️‍♀️today since fast is over.

Broke fast at 71 hrs.30 min. I wasn’t hungry it was more about wanting to eat dinner at 6:30 instead of 7PM. 😎 I’m usually finished eating by 6PM every night so I wanted to eat earlier for next IF. I learned from the fast that I can live through being “hungry” … It’s 💯 mind over body. One tough part was between 48 and 50 hours I got a mild headache. Ended up sleeping well. Fasting increased my will power - at least the perception 😎. Today: 🎾🚶‍♀️🏋️‍♀️💪🏻Onward!

Health Journey
****************

1990 (Age 32) - Avg. 135 lbs
2001 (Age 43) - Avg 145 lbs
2010 (Age 52) HW 172 lbs

UGW = 130lbs (ceiling)

In Aug 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take control of my health. I lost 30lbs by 1/1/2015. Weight topped @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Five years!

🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….

2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-137lbs. Three more solid years.

8/1/ 2022 crept up to 140lbs.
Dropped to 128lbs again by 9/30 then held 130lbs till 12/22.

2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much! Ive always eaten healthy BUT portion control is/was a huge issue. Started tracking. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are!

I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to reach 130lbs as a ceiling. Pretty clear to me that once I reached my 60s, I would reach a goal weight and then relax/ drift backwards. So glad 145lbs was the max over the last nine years.

I also noticed that as I aged it became much MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could loose 15lbs easy in 6 to 8 weeks up to my 60s … This is absolutely not true anymore!!!!

I'm 30F and committed to wondering less about the scale and wondering instead about how great it's going to be when my daily healthy practices are so normal that it would be weird not to do them, even on vacations or holidays. It has been nice so far.

11/28 - 155.4
11/29 - 155.0 - Can I tell you how ecstatic I was to see 154 flash for a split second?! I'm still very very happy with seeing this weight, too, don't get me wrong. No TOM so I'm sure I'm still holding on to some bloat/water weight from that, as well. I ran this morning again with the pups, a super slow 20 minutes followed by a 5 minute sprint & strength workout. I'm feeling pretty good about the progress I'm making so soon after Thanksgiving. Last year I snowballed out of control starting in mid-September and didn't catch myself until January. This year, I've got a different mindset and I'm far more focused on my goals - I've already proven to myself I'm in a much healthier place mentally just by how easily I can jump back into my healthier habits. Now I need to keep that mentality going forward and grow my habits to build a better lifestyle overall. It helps that our friend group is shifting as well. We're all discussing a 5k/10k/Half marathon in April (I'm debating attempting the 10k - the other girls are talking a half marathon. BF is considering 5k. Unsure what the other husbands are thinking about it). Us and another couple already signed up for a local 5k trail run in June - StepDaughter wanted to do another 5k race with us so we found one and signed up already! LittleBro also said he'd do it (shocking us all) so that's even better. A whole family affair.

Previous Day's Comments

11/28 - I've dropped 0.5lbs since yesterday which I wasn't expecting. I guess I did a decent job Sunday of re-hydrating enough to start seeing the water weight drop off today versus being delayed as I had thought. I ran 10 minutes yesterday to get back into the groove and monitored my eating based on my body's hunger cues. Today I did some run intervals and have meals planned out other than breakfast (if I need it - I fasted until lunch yesterday so hoping to do the same today). TOM is set to arrive in the next 48 or so hours so I'm not going to be too shocked or upset if I see a slight uptick or maintenance between now and then - I'm mentally prepared for that possibility and know my body will resume it's normal functions very shortly after. I've missed you all and it's really good to be back - now to navigate this holiday season together and with success!

11/28 - 225.6 (Not sure why the scale jumped up 3 lbs overnight) I will just continue to do what I've been doing; drinking water, counting calories and working out
11/29 - 225.8 I have to be completely honest, at this point in the past, this is when I would give up. When the scale is up and I have been tracking everything honestly and working out and staying in my deficit. However, I have started to realize that this isn't just a quick fix. As long as I continue to stay on track eventually the scale will follow. The scale isn't the only thing that matters anyways!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/27 …..180.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

11/28 -179.8- (Trend weight 182.2) I allowed myself a piece of leftover pecan pie last night from my Saturday Thanksgiving dinner. I prelogged it making sure it would fit within my macros. I was proud of myself for not giving in to the other leftovers. I’m not always that strong, but yesterday was a good day. Good luck everyone this round and welcome to any newbies that have joined us. We love having all of you here!

11/29 -179.4- (Trend weight 189.9) While in bed last night I couldn’t get that triple chocolate, triple layer cake out of my head that is in the basement fridge leftover from Thanksgiving dinner Saturday. My body even became ravenously hungry. Starving really. I got up but when I looked at the alarm clock it said it was 2:45 a.m. No one needs to eat that late, especially when they are already in bed. So I promptly got back in and covered back up. If the clock had said 8:30 pm, I must admit that I would have had a huge slice. Or shall I say slab? I’ll likely travel today to do some birthday shopping for DGS. Not in the mood to see the 180’s on the scale again tomorrow, though.

@SheilaBoneham Perhaps make a day of it (going to the Apple Store) and enjoy a nice healthy meal when you are in the “big city?” It’s about an hour’s drive to any Apple Store in Las Vegas. I hate driving across town.

11/28. 132.5 Fasting today, I hope. Up before 4:30AM - UGH! Ate at Art Quilt potluck, had a glass of wine after I got home and enjoyed my half pita and 1 ounce of melitzanosalata. Nothing but water and coffee since about 6 last night. We’ll see what today brings.
11/29 132.0 My intended fast didn’t last. My stomach was growling, REALLY growling by 11. At least I didn’t go crazy. I’m good with that. Today I have a nail appointment and a dermatology appointment. Should have some time to kill between so will walk in a store probably. Tonight is community Bingo with pizza for dinner. I think I’ll pick up a salad for myself and try to avoid pizza crust.

11/29 - Still struggling with holiday leftovers and sweets. I talked with my accountability partner and my sister yesterday and wrote down some action steps to keep me from binging or over indulging. Just have to actually use them when the craving strikes.

Super busy day today so it's going to be difficult to stick to the plan. But hopefully I can keep working my program and using the skills that I'm learning.

Previous Comments:

11/28 - Well all the holiday overeating has caught up to me. Last round I did not meet any of my goals. This round will be different! Overall I still weigh less now than when I first started 2 rounds ago.

Part of the problem is access to off-plan food. I don't mind splurging for the holiday itself, but I have to learn to refuse the leftovers. It's too tempting to have them in the house. And when I have free access to sweets, I binge. Every time. But part of the process is learning these things. I need to do some research on how to defend against the binge!

Hi! I'd like to join in this round. I've found a bunch of motivation following along the threads, so I thought I'd try joining in. I may not post/weigh daily, we'll see how this goes!

I regularly do strength training, but my steps could use improvements.

Invisalign added elastics today. Certainly will help with spontaneous eating/snacking.

Fell off the wagon HARD at the end of Round 242. I got frustrated with my new scales being unreliable and just gave it up.

New approach this time, will weigh in at the end of the round only to try to keep the frustration at bay 🤞

About Me:

This is my fifteenth round and really appreciate 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. We live in the Pacific Northwest where we're entering the rainy season which makes walking a lot harder, and it's my main form of exercise right now. I do have access to gym equipment at our HOA clubhouse, but I still have to walk there and back (takes about 9 minutes). I recently started working full time (after over 23 years as a SAHM) so my time to exercise is now limited.

11/28 - 214.8 - no exercise - My weight was up again this morning. The pumpkin pie is almost gone, though and so are the leftovers. I'll be making turkey and dumpling soup tomorrow probably. And that should cut back on the calories I have during the day. I just get off work and I'm tired and hungry and just want to chill and munch on some chips or whatever so I gave in last night and had some veggie straws and today I had some Ritz Thin Crisps to satisfy my cravings. I also don't get as much exercise as I did before even though I'm on my feet all day. I still don't know if I'm going to go to the gym on my two days off. My feet are killing me and I just want to relax tomorrow. When I'm not taking care of my grandson. Oh, I also have to take my car to Autozone to find out why the check engine light is on. Ugh.

11/29 - 215.2 - no exercise - I was up again today. Sigh. I know it's because I keep having small slices of pumpkin pie in the morning and I've been getting serious munchies after getting off of work. I gave into that the last two nights because I was just tired and sore and wanted comfort food to relax. I also ate way too much today and am way over on calories so I think I'm just going to call today a wash, have a big slice of apple pie with ice cream and then get back on track tomorrow. I also didn't get to go on a walk or to the gym today because I have felt super dizzy all day. Any time I moved, the whole room would spin. I was finally feeling a little better when I went to cook dinner, but it was really bad around lunch time. No idea what was going on. I don't feel sick in any way. The dizziness came out of nowhere.

11/28: 265.6. Feeling rough this morning. Didn't sleep well at all and sick stomach. Yesterday was stressful and my guts always seem to have their say when my nervous system is being rude. I'll be happy if i can achieve C-grade work today. I really just want to flop over and go back to bed, but I'm getting this coffee down so i can at least try.

11/29: 265.4. Not super hungry today until after work which was fine with me Went to bed early last night and slept straight through until the cat's breakfast time. Had more energy today (funny how that works!) so went for a walk on my break.
