RND 244 – My Journey
Round 1: Accountability: an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one’s action.
F, 67, 5’4"
SW-231
UGW-149 – Estimated at the end of Round 284, My 40th round.
Whatever you are not changing, you are choosing. Read that again!
12/8~ Day 1 - Starting Wt. 230 ~ Day 1 is always easy. (I've had a lot of them.) Day 10; now that will be the challenge.
~ I started a new healthy eating plan today, increasing protein to satisfy my appetite. Logging food and exercise for accountability. I'm six weeks out after my 2nd knee replacement. I have a mini goal to be a size 14 (now size 22) by our 50th anniversary Oct '24.
12/9 ~ Day 2 – 231 ~ Okay so I did 'almost' everything wrong today.
~ The good - I did do 20 min of exercise upon waking, and I walked 1/2 mile around the grocery store.
The imperfect- I didn't eat breakfast, ate fast food for lunch, and didn't reach my Protein goals.
The great! Tomorrow is another chance to prove to myself I can do this!
My favorite quote: Whatever you are not changing, you are choosing. Read That Again!
12/10~ Day 3 - 230 ~ Todays word is Consistency
~ Today was a milestone in my knee recovery. I walked my first full mile around the neighborhood. It was difficult and painful, (we live on a hill with 5% to 16% grades), I'm sure I'll feel it tomorrow. 1.16 miles in 38 minutes. I also logged every morsel that went into my mouth and met my protein goal with extra calories in the bank. Yes!!!
12/11~ Day 4 - 229 ~ What the heck?
~ Today was a struggle with food, ugh! I woke up late, had a cup of coffee and didn't think about food until 2p when I couldn't find anything that sounded good. So brilliant choice (not) I scarfed down two hot dogs with buns. Didn't enjoy it when I ate it and 3 hours later was still wondering why. So, started logging my food and realized I was not going to meet my protein needs. I ended up eating yogurt with extra protein for dinner and peanut butter on an English muffin for a snack and I saved the day. Wow.
12/1~ Day 5 -227.8 ~ 'Cup of Joe'
~ What to say about today. My 1st day back to work after 6 weeks medical for the knee. I work at home on a computer all day and didn't think it would be difficult to jump back in. What I found; sitting in an office chair for nine hours is hard. I had to set a timer to get up and climb a flight of stairs every hour or my knee would lock up. Mental work is exhausting. I struggle with eating well and getting enough water. Using a 'cup of joe' to stay alert is not a good idea. And I need to find a way to fit in more exercise.
12/13~ Day 6 - 223.5 ~ PNW winter blahs
~I stepped on the scale this morning and freaked! I am pretty sure it's an error, so I reweighed and got the same number. I enjoyed the 'high' all day and was spurred on to log food and pay attention to food quality vs quantity.
Secretly, I think my scale needs new batteries so I'm changing them tonight and we'll see what the morning brings. Work was painful, with cramping muscles and ankle edema, and no stair climbing today (That was a mistake I need to correct). I did my basic exercise but nothing extra. Raining, windy, and cold out, "Oregon Coast winter blahs", a walk does not sound appealing. Hopefully, it will be dry and sunny this weekend. Tomorrow will be better!
12/14~ Day 7 – 225.5 ~ Yup! My scale did need batteries. I knew I couldn’t lose 4 lbs. overnight any more than I could gain 2 lbs. overnight. I will watch the trend and hope to end this round at least 2 lbs. lighter than when I started. So today was a “good” day. Met the calorie and protein goals, just scratched by on exercise.
12/15~ Day 8 -226.3 ~ I hope it was the Chinese food.
Finally, Friday!! Just ended my 1st week back to work and continue the struggle with moving enough to minimize the knee pain. I have found that doing 8-9 flights of stairs daily is too much this early in recovery. The day after I am so sore, I can hardly move, so I’m rethinking my strategy and will mix it up more. So tonight, more research for maximum gain and minimal pain. I did meet the protein goal and stayed under on calories, but I need to adjust the fiber intake. I’m not getting enough. Drat!
12/16~ Day 9 -228 ~ Oh what will it be tomorrow?
Good day! I kept the protein up and managed to increase the fiber almost meeting the goal. Dusted off the treadmill because I realized I was not ready for the hill hikes yet. Got in my increasing the distance. Soo, good day. Why is the scale so wacky?
12/17~ Day 10 -228 ~ I met the 2 lb. goal, That’s a win!!
I made 10 days, It’s the longest consistent streak I’ve ever had. I Love the ten days round. Not too long-not too short. I’m learning nutrition, the need for movement, and the benefits of logging. The journey has begun.

Round 243
Dec 8 – Dec 17, 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
12/8 – 127.2 Yesterday was good. I tracked the full day, made good choices, and hit proper numbers. Working on getting my head in place. On a another note, DH spoke with me yesterday about helping him with MFP again once we get through the holidays.
12/9 – 128.0 Scale is being a twit. I feel great today. Yesterday’s pre-tracked lunch plan went to heck when the omelet from the “all day breakfast” turned out to be weekend only. I need to read better. I ended up with a much more caloric buffalo chicken fingers with fries, cole slaw, blue cheese dressing. Those were the best chicken fingers I may have ever had. Skipped the slaw, though I love it. Had seltzer, but the rest got eaten (did skip a FEW fries). Got home. Adjusted my tracking and had a simple salad for dinner, and and evening stella doro “biscuit”. Happy with how I handled the day. Today SHOULD be straightforward, though I don’t have a full plan as yet. But I will track.
12/10 – 128.8 Yup, yesterday started fine, then ended off track and un-tracked. Today will be better.
12/11 – 127.8 So, decent day, though not “officially” tracked like I promised on the day. Just finished entering everything just now, and it was acceptable. Have not figured out my plan for today. I need to get to the grocery store!
12/12 – 128.2 Yes, I should have gone to the grocery store. Still limping along with no food selection in the house, so extra excuses for making bad choices.
12/13 – 128.6 So I am now realizing that I just need to hang on the best I can for this round and the next. If I can lose a little, great. At worse, I just do not want to go up further. Have to hang on until I can truly refocus again. I am just juggling too many balls at the moment to do ANYTHING well.
12/14 – 128.0 I weighed, but almost forgot to report in.
12/15 – 129.0 Full circle. DH is now home (midnight last night). That should mean that I will cook real meals again. For two weeks now, I have not cooked a meal. I have eaten lots of ice cream, and last night I discover a lb of bacon that was expiring. It is now gone, and not in a good way. BUT I am going to be brave and throw the second lb, also in the fridge, in the trash before I cook that up as well.
12/16 – 129.4
12/17 – 129.0 So, not what I hoped for, but will be grateful that I ended with a net zero. On to round 245…..

My third round! Still excited and seeing some early results! *Note to self: over the past twenty years you have ably demonstrated that you know absolutely nothing about weight loss or exercise other than you need to do both. Don't convince yourself that you know ANYTHING, having lost a pound or two. Read other peoples struggles and successes. Glean what you can! LISTEN! Be patient! Nothing changes if nothing changes. I can't change unless I am willing to do things completely foreign to me. Do'em anyway!
12/08-199 Starting weight this round

*When I skip a meal for whatever reason, I put myself in a bad situation. Around the holidays
all sorts of crap food is left out on the staff lunch table. Deadly combo for me. Just for me: I
gotta start training myself to see Carbs as rat poison, just for me!
12/13-197
*When motivation runs low, and it will, I'd better have a routine established. Big Mo is great, but
routine is a better friend to me.

12/16-197 Would be nice to get off my *kitten* on a nice day like today and go for a hike to town. Start getting use to my new backpack!
12/17- 197 Happy to have kept going in the right direction for this round. Time to add in a little hiking.
See you on the next challenge!

UGW: 18512/17: 263.8. Crazy PMS. Feeling starved. But also guts feeling yucky today. Ate a bunch of crackers for lunch 🙃 Going to bed earlyish; still down a pound from day one of the challenge so I'm calling it a win
12/8: 265ish. Had to rush out this morning and forgot to weigh so that's what i weighed yesterday. Lunch will be a protein bar and an apple so tonight might be another whole bag of salad and chicken for dinner. Again, could be worse things.
12/9: 263.6! Almost to the 250s, land of nearly not-uncomfortable plane seats. On certain airlines 😂 Sneaky Xmas shopping today under the guise of grocery shopping.
12/10: 263.4. Hubby made a delicious chicken stir fry with gochujang last night. I could drink gochujang in a shotglass. The kind i bought was pretty low in calories so that might be a possibility. I'm thinking about everything else i could put it on--maybe make beef jerky with it in the Ninja Foodi?
12/11: Holiday party 🍪🥧🥖🧀⛄️🎄 262.8 this morning. (Raging hormones) Tl;dr: I have decided not to overextend myself for people who do not do the same for me/do not take my feelings into consideration (this is related to food because, at least for this party, I am not being driven to make food decisions based on emotional ties to food. Merry Xmas to me 🎄🎉🎁).
12/12: 262.2. Very exciting! This is the goal weight i need to be at the beginning of February to win my Healthy Wage pot. I'm going to keep working at it because I know the holidays are going to have the scale up and down over the next few weeks.
12/13: 264.2, and that makes sense because i feel so incredibly bloated today, like the little girl that turned into a blueberry in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory kind. I haven't even been eating at maintenance as far as calories go so i know it's not fat gain.
I'm tired and cranky like a toddler today so I'm going to be nice and go to bed early--if i could sleep for 12 hours straight i would be soooo happy 🥹
12/14: 262.2. Much better mood today! I got plenty of sleep for the first time in at least a week. Made some Xmas treats and will send them to work with my husband tomorrow. I did test them under varying conditions--standing, sitting--for safety, of course.

About Me:This is my sixteenth 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.

UGH, I had filled all of these out but hadn't posted it yet and then my computer restarted so I lost all of my comments. It's been a long few days.
12/8 - 211.2 - 9526 steps
12/9 - 212.4 - 8652 steps
12/10 - 213.0 - 8633 steps
12/11 - 212.6 - 8365 steps - This week has been ugh. I think part of the reason my weight keeps fluctuating so much during my work weeks is my legs--especially my knee--get very sore and swelled up from being on my feet all day. So I start retaining water. On top of that, I'm just super hungry when I get home so I just munch on anything I can find which has been screwing everything up. I know I'll eventually figure out something that works with my new schedule, but it's hard. I feel like I'm doing so much more during the day, but I'm not really doing much more steps than I did walking for an hour and a half each day. But I'm on my feet for 7.5 hours/day now. Today was absolute chaos at work. I was on my own starting at 3:30 and I did not slow down at all, not even for a moment to catch my breath or get a drink--until my co-worker called me at 5:30 (a half hour past my lunch break) to say she probably wasn't going to make it in. I told her I would close early and get to lunch at 5:45. That did not happen because as soon as I hung up, there were people waiting at the counter. It was 6:21 when I finally closed the department and clocked out for lunch. And even after I closed, people kept coming up to the counter wanting stuff despite seeing the lights off and that I'm cleaning. Ugh. At least I ate all the Veggie Straws yesterday so I was not tempted to stuff my face from the stress when I got home.
12/12 - 212.6 - 8243 steps - I finally gave into my cravings for chips and dip as an early birthday gift to myself. It was a stressful week already and I was tired of counting calories and always ignoring my cravings. It tasted so good, I don't even care what my weight is tomorrow. It's probably going to be up and all over the place the next few weeks as I start baking before Christmas but then I should get back on track. If I can figure out how to get my calories in while working and not feel so hungry when I get home at the end of the day.
12/13 - 214.6 - no exercise - Happy Birthday to me! I ate all of my dip I made and most of the two bags of Ruffles I bought. I also made steak and mashed potatoes for my dinner (after making burgers, fries and mac & cheese for everyone else). Then my husband brought home these cupcakes and a piece of carrot cake for me. Each cupcake was different and I just needed to try the raspberry one which had raspberry filling and also the icing (which was taller than the cupcake itself) was raspberry flavored. It was delicious. I only ate a quarter of it then the my carrot cake. I didn't care my weight was up 2lbs from yesterday and I don't care that it will be up tomorrow. It's my birthday so I get to eat whatever I want.
12/14 - 216.4 - no exercise - And my weight was up 2lbs again. Oh well. I enjoyed my pig-out days. I finished off the chips I bought and had a bit of cupcake earlier. Then I made meatloaf for dinner and had half a meatloaf sandwich and another slice of it with mashed potatoes, gravy and a bunch of veggies. I also finished off the bits of fries leftover from last night. I didn't really measure anything the last few days. I just don't care right now. But it's back to work tomorrow. I'm going to experiment with having a very light lunch before work. Just enough to hold me over until dinner time then I can eat something more substantial when I get home since I'm always so hungry at 9. We'll see how it goes.
12/15 - 213.6 - 9875 steps - Aaaand I'm back at my start weight for this round. This last week has been very crazy with food. And I know it's going to continue into this next week. I plan to do a bunch of baking on my next day off which means the house will be full of cookies through the new year. But, I tried something new with my meals today. I had a very small salad of mostly lettuce and grape tomatoes for lunch before work. Then had a dinner of meatloaf, mashed potatoes and veggies at work. And then I had 3oz of steak, mashed potatoes and broccoli after work since I always seem to be famished when I get off and want to eat anything I see. I still appeared to be under my calories for the day so hopefully this doesn't mess things up too much. I normally only eat 2 meals a day so redistributing those calories to 3 meals is going to be a pain I think, but I'm going to try to stick with it for a week. We'll see how it goes.
12/16 - 213.0 - 8411 steps - Okay, eating a very small lunch before I leave for work then leaving a bigger meal for when I get home at 9 something feels much better. I don't actually feel hungry the first 3 1/2 hours I'm there and then when I do start feeling hungry, it's just 30 minutes until lunch. Then my lunch (dinner) isn't super big otherwise I feel way too full and sleepy after eating when I have another 4 hours to go. So eating my big meal when I get home makes more sense even though it's a bit too close to bedtime. But I feel less likely to munch on other stuff when I'm eating a full meal at night. I guess I'll give it some time. I don't think I'll really be able to judge in the next week because of the holidays so I'll reevaluate after Christmas to see how it's working.
12/17 - 211.2 - 7629 steps - Eating these three meals a day seems to be working, although I might have eaten a bit too much tonight. Oh well. I definitely feel fuller and less likely to snack. I don't like working when I'm overly full so eating a small meal just before work seems to be the way to go. Next week, I start baking, though, so it's all out the window anyway, lol.3 -

(Sa•68g Prot; 48ozs water) I have not been weighing myself. Mainly because I don't think about it until after I've eaten. When I do step on the scale, I won't be surprised if it reads over 200lbs again and I wont be angry with myself. I still have some underlying stress, but it is subsiding now and my appetite is moving away from eating "foods" that are detrimental to me.
