What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

1/9 134.5 Dentist today for teeth cleaning then lunch at Jimmy John’s with DH (a rare occurrence since he’s been on the BOD for our HOA) [OMG! I hate acronyms! LOL]
1/10 134.5 3 days of Total Carbs under 20. I was over on Fat due to heavy cream in my ⭐️bucks Flat White
1/11 133.5 Mammo and Dexa today
1/12 133.5 Got the mammo but not the Dexa. I wish they had told me before to not take vitamins and calcium in the morning. They have never said that in the past. This they DIDN’T tell me to clean off deodorant but I hadn’t put any on in preparation. I’m so angry about that and the contortions the mammo tech tried to get me to do. She clearly didn’t understand that the rods in my back don’t bend and arthritis in my neck means I don’t have full ROM in my neck.

01/12 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) Still no scale delivery today but I usually don’t weigh in on Fridays anyway due to the school bus and the fosamax with water. We are expecting approx 24” of total snow today and tomorrow. Schools are closing early today as it will be getting started by 3:00. I’ll be getting lots of shoveling in along with my son’s help but I have to be careful since the ticker is not as healthy as it used to be. We are just getting over the last snow storm from a few days ago. I hope we do not lose power!
01/13 -182.0- (Trend weight 181.0) My scale arrived late yesterday afternoon after posting so I got it all set up, downloaded the app etc. It looks like I’m up about 2.2 lbs from my last known weight although that scale reading on the 8th may not have been accurate. My trend weight is slightly down. Gosh, I hate starting over with a different scale. The pressure was so bad thinking about it last night that I broke into the back of the freezer for some of that chocolate. I also ate dinner twice with 2 totally different foods. Self-sabotage. I noticed that this new scale has my weight at about what I would expect after a binge, but the fat percentage is WAY WAY higher on the new one. I guess I just have to lump it and start fresh from here. We got 15” of snow yesterday and overnight. At least 6 more expected today and more tomorrow too. We are all hunkered down. I have spent most of the morning shoveling. Tonight my foodie daughter, DGS, DS and myself will cook and have a nice hot dinner. I’ll be using the oven so it will help keep the house warm. Stay safe everyone!

Hi, I'm Charissa
Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024!
62 y/o female
OSW 2022-03 230.3
1SW 2023-01 221.8
1SW 2024-01 223.4
So here we go 2024... my motto -
🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Goals this round:
- Tracking to the best of my ability 🍎and staying under calorie budget -- Defining a higher calorie budget which will make the loss slower but again, more sustainable.
Also get rid of the oops factor. When targets are too low, it easy to say...Oops, I went over so I
might as well have...<fill in the blank>
Update: I increased my calorie budget and am having trouble meeting it with the right macros.
- Goal is 48 this week
- Closing my rings : 🚶🏽

1/7 ~ DNW - Traveling. Tomorrow will be a very interesting number on the scale. I ate and drank somewhat freely on Saturday - celebrating my husband's birthday, but I did get my workout in. Sunday was back to normal with lots of water but little exercise. Actually, I will be happy with whatever I see. I enjoyed my weekend and now it's back to the plan and dry January.

1/10 218.4 This is like the first few dates of a new relationship!
1/11 217.4 So.. I'm one of those people that gets on the scale 3 or 4 times to confirm that it's right. Usually it is...but this morning it said 218.2 which I was ok with. After I showered, I tried again and it said 217.4. Of course I had to jump on one more time a few minutes later and 217.4 it is!! I'll take it!! Down 6.2 since 1/1 and 1.6 this round.
1/12 218.8 That 218.2 was probably more accurate...but at any rate...still good. I've got to watch that "snack" tendency. A few more minutes on the treadmill this morning.

I need to come back here. I have gained 7 pounds since I stopped in round 239. I think staying accountable is key to helping me lose weight. My main focus is to only have 3 meals per day. I am finding it easier to not obsess over food if I don't have snacks but have bigger meals. I am also practising slowing down my eating which helps my brain register that I have eaten. I am aiming to take at least 20 minutes to finish each meal. I have also given up milky coffee which I think was suppressing my hunger for a short time but led to me being hungry after an hour or so. I only drink black tea now. Kudos to all those familiar faces who consistently show up here. You are all an inspiration!

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.

Hi @quiltingjaine !
Yes, For a long while I used the keto pee strips, and I found that they were pretty accurate (color code). A friend suggested the ketomojo meter for a more accurate read…, and I used it for the first time two days ago. I’ll probably test once per week. My reading was 2.6.

(Day 32) 01/08 ✴224 lb. ~ I wish we could get a break in the weather; it’s rain, rain, and wind. My sister in Wyoming had 19 degrees – but it was sunny 😎! I’m not sure which I prefer. Hopefully, my scale will be here tomorrow. I weighed 4 times this morning and was 224, 227.9, 222.5, and 226.3. I don’t know what to believe. My waistline does feel smaller, but I’m not fitting into the next smaller size, Yet! I measure next weekend, and excitement abounds!
(Day 33) 01/09 ✴??? lb. ~I wish we could get a break in the weather; it’s rain, rain, and wind. It was 19 degrees where my sister lives (WY) – but it was sunny 😎! I’m not sure which I prefer. Hopefully, my scale will be here tomorrow. I weighed 4 times this morning and was 224, 227.9, 222.5, and 226.3. I don’t know what to believe. My waistline does feel smaller, but I’m not fitting into the next smaller size, Yet! I measure next weekend, and excitement abounds!
(Day 34) 01/10 ✴223.2 lb. ~The scale arrived today, but not until late afternoon. I normally work from home but needed to go into the office this morning, so I took the opportunity to use the scale there. We’ll see what tomorrow brings. Hopefully something closer to 222.0. Other than that, I braved the wind and got my steps in between rainstorms. Yea! It will probably be an early night tonight; I want to put the ice machine on my knee to ease the pain.
(Day 35) 01/11✴222.2 lb. ~ Today went a bit better than anticipated. The lower wt. on the scale was a nice surprise. I did well with healthy eating and staying under calories. I am still resting my leg, doing ‘RICE’, hoping for relief and that it will not sabotage the weight loss. I know how important exercise is to see results. Water is much better today, drinking it warm has helped. I’m 1 full month into this journey and have only dropped 10 lbs. For a heavy girl, I expected more than that. Yeesh!
(Day 37) 01/13✴219.1 lb. ~ A good day; I went over on calories, ate junk, and didn’t exercise. In my opinion, it is healthy to shock the body occasionally, so it doesn’t think it’s starving. It's nasty weather today, high winds, rain, and cold. We have ice on the windows from the freezing rain, it's unusual for here on the Oregon Coast. We get a rare snow, but the icicles are hanging off everything. It is so beautiful, oh and did I say beautiful? I haven’t seen an ice storm since we lived in Colorado or was it Ohio?.

1/7- DNW - completely forgot to weigh 😯- got up and got out the door before I realized I never weighed. Probably just as well - attended a late Xmas party and was not great with my food choices - this is going to be a tough week for me. Both my daughter’s and my birthday this week - so lots of going out and celebrating. Winter Warrior Challenge Day #7 - 3 miles - walked today to give my legs a break. 24 days to go
1/8 - DNW - chaotic morning - first day back to school for my kids after two weeks off and the morning did not go as planned. Was all the way to work before I realized I never weighed in (again 🙁) Winter Warrior Challenge Day #8 - 3 miles
1/9- 154.4 - Winter Warrior Challenge Day #9 - the first day it has actually been “winter” since the challenge began - heavy snow, gusting winds, temps 31 degrees F, feels like 20 - “looking forward” to the same tomorrow
1/10- 153.9 happy birthday to me! Excited to see a loss on my bday….going out to dinner to celebrate tonight so hopefully won't give it all back tomorrow. Winter Warrior Challenge Day #10 - 3 miles in the cold and snow + strength training with personal trainer. Need to get more serious about the strength training. I know I need it to build muscle and help weight loss and prevent running injuries…I just do not enjoy it so it is very much a chore to make myself do it. I won't get the results I want if I don't do the work 🥴
1/11 - 154.1 - Winter Warrior Challenge Day #12 - was feeling very worn down so walked 3 miles instead of running. Running in snow the past 2 days really wore me out. Need to prepare to run in the snow for the next few days as well
1/12 - 153.5 - very exciting to see the trend - feel like holding myself accountable EVERY day is helping me stay on track. Consistency and logging are key!!! Winter Warrior Challenge Day #12 - 3 miles - ran on clear pavement awaiting the arrival of Snowstorm Gerri.
1/13 - 154.2. Not surprising. Lacked will power in the face if left over Christmas candy last night. Winter Warrior Challenge Day # 13 - 5 very snowy and cold miles. Longest run I've done since August.

@Owls_Books This happens to all of us at some time. Don't give up or give in, forget today and start again tomorrow. You can do it!6

@jerierFor anyone feeling a little discouraged about the scale numbers bouncing down, up, down, up, keep this in mind:
Weight loss is not linear so track the trend.
Weight loss is the sum of body composition = fat, muscle, fluid, other soft tissues, and bone.
Track body fat, muscle, and water percentages.
Invest in a body composition scale.
Be kind and generous to yourself. You’re doing the best you can and your amazing body is constantly adjusting to the changes.
Thank you for sharing this..5 -
HW: 194.7 (88.3 kg) April 25, 2020
SW RND 247 180.6 (81.9 kg)
1/7- 180.6 (81.9 kg) Stepped on the scale and opened MFP for the first time in 6 months. Determined to start logging even if I go over calories just to get back in the habit.
1/8- 179.5 Yay water weight.
1/9- 178.9 More water weight.
1/10- 177.4 And more.
1/11- 176.7 (80.1 kg) Still more. Very encouraging though.
1/12- 176.8 Ate very light at work today planning to go to dinner tonight, but last minute decided to go out to lunch tomorrow with my sister instead. Now fighting the urge to mindlessly snack because I'm really hungry and tired.
1/13- 175.9 Ended yesterday under my calorie goal. Very tired of the negative degree weather. It was -14° F (-25.5° C) this morning and minus -23° F (- 31.66° C) with the windchill. I overate at lunch today, but ended just a couple hundred calories over the weekly goal. Tomorrow is a new day.

RND 247
1/7: 205.9
1/8: 205.6 (-0.3) good diet day, bad exercise. Planning to sort both out today!
1/9 206.8 (+1.2) new scales so that may account for more accuracy as the exercise and diet couldn’t have been a whole lot better. Bigger push today!
1/10 205.9 (-0.9) back to the old scales! Are more (albeit all good stuff) and didn’t get nearly as much exercise so I presume the loss today is a delayed benefit of the efforts of 1/8 at the gym! Definitely hit the wall on that initial blast but feeling really good and motivated to keep on keeping on.
1/11 205.4 (-0.5) hoped for more to be honest! Made it a significant calorie deficit day yesterday with three hours of tennis so only dropping half a pound is a little disappointing.
1/12 203.9 (-1.5) that’s more like it! Doubled down on the focus and discipline and it paid dividends! Getting closer by the day to the first hurdle of <200!
1/13 202.8 (-1.1) another very solid day. Couple of hours of tennis in and very disciplined on the diet. Sub 200 hopefully in the next week!

I'm in for another round - will not be able to weigh for the first 8 days as we will be abroad on holiday, but I'll check in everyday.
65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 247 (my 177th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, as always, so grateful.
Goals for this round to, to stay strong through holiday, log food each day as best I can and try to not gain any weight.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 target of 130 = 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.

1/7. DNW - 8.15 miles walked yesterday, a combination of around the airport before the flight and then around the resort after we arrived. I tried to keep sensible, and have tried to over estimate rather than under the meals prepared but by me, so reckon I was 500 calories over yesterday.
1/8 DNW - 10 .35 miles walked yesterday, wore different sandals and ended up with blisters on heels after 8 miles, luckily always carry plasters!! All but 89 calories eaten back.
1/9. DNW - 11.19 miles walked, all but 206 exercise calories eaten back.
1/10 DNW - 16.2 miles walked yesterday, 38,800 steps, 85% exercise calories eaten back.
1/11 DNW - 9.67 miles walked, all but 100 exercise calories eaten back.
1/12 DNW - 11.59 miles walked yesterday, 80% exercise calories eaten back. Saw this quote, it rang a chord with me!

1/13. 11.01 miles walked, all but 41 exercise calories eaten back.
1/14. 11.02 miles walked including hiking up the local extinct volcano, all but 32 exercise calories eaten back. Fly back home later today.

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!9 -
Hi all, this is my 2nd round in a row. I lost 0.8 kg in the last one I hope I will continue to lose. I aim to lose 1 kg (2.2 lbs) in 10 days. But at the same time I know from my old experiences the second and third week is harder than first one. So even if I don’t lose weight I should continue.
SW 103.9 kg (229 lbs)

1/9 - 104.4 kg
1/10 - 104 kg
Last week I made 7000+ calorie deficit, exercised twice, increased protein intake and decreased carbs, I weighed most of the food I ate, drank only 1 pint of beer, fasted 16 hours everyday. Still I’m not sure it works. I’m the same as 5 days ago. I need to continue I know but it’s hard stay motivated.

1/14- A little "Yoda" thinking helped today- don't think, do.
Daily comments:
01/07- 142.6- positive start; feeling good about my choices right now. I know the initial drop will stop soon and then I'll level off; that's why it's good to have short term goals but keep the big picture in mind.
01/08- 142.6-(back to my pre-holiday weight. Let the games begin!)
01/10- 141.4- 14 days into my new routine; still in that positive first flush of losing (kind of like those early dating days-let's make this one the "keeper"
1/11- 141.4- no surprise there, dramatic losses post-holidays. I'm looking to lose about 1/2-1 lb/week and I've exceeded that. I'm prepared that I may rebound as well.
1/13- 142.2- no good reason for this rebound. I did all the right things yesterday, so this is just the number on the scale today.
1/14- 141.4- kept to the plan, went out for pizza with my partner, had a glass of wine and that little bump still settled itself right back down. I have to be able to live normally, the bumps will come and go if I stay steady.

Will take a huge mind-shift to NOT focus on the scale…
“And it dawned on me that I might have to change my inner thought patterns...that I would have to start believing in possibilities that I wouldn’t have allowed before...”
— Bob Dylan
Launch true commitment to train & gain more muscle. Focus on 🏋️♀️strength, 🤸🏼flexibility, speed & balance for tennis & aging. Focus on the process of DOING: Beginning Measurements ✅. Next InBody Scan @ end of month. Scale can float or fluctuate, unless I break macros or nutrition…. (WILL NOT HAPPEN!)

I took-off a full day yesterday! 3-hr nap. Yum. Determined for successful round!
🍀Good luck, everyone! 💪🏻
1/8 Yesterday ✅ 🏋️♀️🤸🏼 ✅macros & cal,🚶♀️5.2k, 🏋️♀️20 min, 78 total ex min, 🔥404 ex cal, 💗Z2 - 68 min. Had a blast 🏋️♀️🤸🏼&🚶♀️the neighborhood with my DGS.
Mindful when eating so I don’t feel deprived. I do give myself some flexibility.
Macros:
C 0-5%, P 25-30%; F 70–75%
This works for me! ❤️
Today: 🎾& 🏋️♀️ meet with personal trainer.

Played tennis & met with trainer after. Will spare the details — I have a L O N G way to go! 💪🏻
Developed a three week “on my own” plan and will check back to access progress.
Feel good. I’m hoping to stay positive. Tons of 💦.
NSV: 🏋️♀️- I DID IT! I actually listened to my Inbody scan, and made an appointment with an expert… Proud of myself for facing facts.
Today: Cold / windy. Will 🏋️♀️🤸🏼as much as I can @ home without over-doing and a long walk🚶♀️.

Another cold, windy day. Lazy, nice 🚶♀️in afternoon.
Today: meeting, 🎾, 🤸🏼🏋️♀️
I’ve upped daily cal intake to find out what happens… BMR is 1375… thinking 1500-1600 on non-workout days is maintenance . Macros MUST be in check. I’m not really counting calories, but they show up as I log macros… Trying to gain muscle& lose fat simultaneously is a huge challenge - perplexed. Daunted.
PREMIUM FOR YOU?! There was AC brief discussion regarding whether or not to upgrade to MFP premium… I highly recommend it… Customized Goals, Reports, trends, articles, notes. I find huge value if you want to use data to guide your efforts.
There’s also been brief discussion as to “obsessing” over / too much focus on your health journey, specific foods, etc. My thought: What’s more important than becoming who you want to be? Isn’t being mindful important? You have to WANT IT BAD though… 😎 Maybe “obsessing” is a step in the journey that must be taken… to get to the other side? Hmmmm
I guess I’m trying to pump myself for this next step…. I’m no longer obsessing over what to eat or what not to eat. I’m now obsessing over 🏋️♀️🏋️♀️🏋️♀️. Hahaha I also think all of us know what’s best for us individually. The challenge is finding the strength, discipline & fortitude to do the hard work! I’m working on multiple ✅s!
FYI: I use the Renpho scale. My BF% and Visceral fat is way off compared to the more accurate InBody scan.=(Worse)

I booked an FST (Fascia stretch therapy) with the trainer. Oh my! She stretched me like a noodle… (not really - too tight!) It was amazing! My body is so tight it’s scary. Gave me a good jump start to stretch 🙆♀️daily. 🏋️♀️Focus on upper body. What a journey…. Good day.
Today: 🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼

Cleaned house all day, but managed to get in 🏋️♀️🙆♀️. Was hoping to get to the club, but cleaning took way longer than thought. Was in an “OK” space… Determined not to give up. Need to be “ok” with only “ok”.
Today: 🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼 Awful weather today with front moving in … like everyone else, planning next week for record 🥶 temps. I’ve calendared group exercises for all next week (Need to change my attitude about group exercises because I don’t like them at all - but next week it’s my only option. Looks like no tennis for almost two weeks…. Yuck!)
NSV: Hosted bridge last night… Drank 💦 only. What a WIN!
Have a great weekend all! Affirmations/Repeat:
Plan, be grateful and mindful. Carbs are RAT POISON.
🏋️♀️is FUN! Do hard stuff!
YOU ARE 💪🏻!
Commit to yourself!

1/13 Yesterday: ✅macros & 1525 cal, 🚶♀️3.3k, 38 total ex min, 🔥234 ex cal, 💗Z2 - 20min. ✅🏋️♀️🙆♀️ No long walk. Afternoon nap. Glorious.
I actually enjoyed 🏋️♀️🙆♀️🤸🏼 this morning. What a positive! It’s still a challenge to talk myself into 🏋️♀️🤸🏼🙆♀️. Not easy. It’s mental gymnastics each time…. Will force it again today. I haven’t thought much about the scale… I’m guessing number between 130–132 depending on fluctuations. I’ve been ✅ with macros, 💦 & calories. I feel “even” because I’ve been 💯 on plan. Hoping a little muscle transformation is in progress!😎)
I know it’ll be a VERY long haul to change body composition… Also, reading that on days that I 🔥 fewer than 400 cal, I really need to stick to no more than 1500 cal a day. My metabolism is still SUPER slow. (Slower than any person I know…) That’s why 🏋️♀️ is so important for my personal progress.
Today: 🙆♀️🤸🏼🏋️♀️ & 🚶♀️Five mile dedicated walk. 🥶&🌧️ on its way…. Probably 🚫outdoors for most of the week! Prepare!
NSV: Ketosis super strong right now… Full speed ahead.
1/14 Yesterday: ✅🏋️♀️🤸🏼 🙆♀️ ✅macros & cal 1743, 🚶♀️7.8k, 72 total ex min, 🔥435 ex cal, 💗Z2 - 40min.
My structured walk was 2.5 miles not 5 (too short). Really good ST🏋️♀️🙆♀️ & simultaneously worked on balance. I have to remember the “feeling” that once I get started, it’s not bad. Set-up the workout space at home in preparation for the 🥶 next week.
I ate well today, but I had three full meals (unusual). My BIL spent the night with us last night and we enjoyed a big early breakfast this morning… Stayed w/in macros, but portions a little up. (Lunch & Dinner too) Just felt more “full” than I’m use too on this journey of mine. Don’t like feeling that full-didn’t need to eat three FULL meals. Will remember that yucky feeling! Lets stick with my routine.

Aug 14, 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 remained @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Five years!
🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….
2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs.

The yo-yo is exhausting & unhealthy. Takes up way too much brain space.
I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to maintain approx. 130lbs and IN SHAPE. Pretty clear that once I reached a goal weight I would then relax/ drift backwards. So glad 145lbs was the max over the last nine years.
I also noticed that as I age it becomes much, MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could lose 15lbs easy in 8 weeks up to 2020ish … This is absolutely not true anymore!
While active with 🚶♀️& 🎾 it’s clear a ST routine is absent. Time to incorporate ST 🏋️♀️ as my TRUE focus.

I'm Julie, 35 year old SAHM to two year old twins.
SW RND 247: 137.2
1/7: 134.1. Not sure why I had the random spike yesterday, but I'm glad it came back down. I did a 6 mile run and eating was good. I had another sleepless night last night, thanks to one of my boys, so today is going to be another rough day, I'm sure. I'm going to still try to run tonight, but I know I'm going to be exhausted, making it really easy to talk myself out of it.
1/8: 134.0. I would LOVE to be in 133 zone, but I guess not today. I was tired but forced myself to go to the gym and run 4 miles. I also went for a walk, even though it was a bit cold, 50°F, but I'm near the Phoenix area so not used to the cold lol.. I was worried my boys were getting too cold, so kept it short. I'm proud of myself for getting some exercise even though it was really tempting to skip it yesterday.
1/9: 134.0. Well at least it's not up. Food was good, went for a walk and a run. Little short on sleep last night- not sure why my boys are sleeping so bad lately. But that's okay, I'm still planning on exercising today.
1/10: 132.5! I'm so happy. I spent most of yesterday morning going pee, and woke up this morning to a woosh! I've been very carefully counting calories, which I tend to get lazy on, and this is the result! Ran 4 miles last night. I really hope this number sticks around (or continues to drop).
1/11: 132.8. Close enough, I'm happy with it essentially staying the same as yesterday. I upped my run and did 5 miles, which felt pretty good. Continuing to weight food and count calories.
1/12: 134.4. I was hungry yesterday so I ate a bit extra. Ran 3 miles.
1/13: 139.0. I just have to laugh at the big swings. I had a couple of beers last night with some friends and ended the night with McDonalds. I started this morning with a 6 mile run. And today's my husband's birthday so we'll probably go out for dinner. I'll try to make good choices and hopefully this weight will come off quickly.
1/14: 139.6. meh. Honestly, this is quite embarrassing. I can see a few pounds because of the last couple of days eating, but 7lbs in a couple of days? I know it's not all fat gain and it'll come off, but still feel a bit discouraged.

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
1/7 – 127.8 I did eat some “extras”, though I tracked them and were reasonable. The calories were also compensated by my walking yesterday morning. My extras evolved after I had my first cocktail in three months (I rarely drink as I prefer food calories over alcohol). Something for me to keep in mind.
1/8 – 128.2 My numbers were good yesterday, so no concern about the up. Walked with the girls in the AM (3 laps), then just a general busy day.
1/9 – 127.8 Yesterday, was an off day, but I did track everything. Even with walking I was over on my calories. But glad I went ahead and tracked and was therefore informed.
1/10 – 129.2 Calories were on target for both myself and hubby, both of us up this morning. Me 1.4 lb, and hubby 1 lb. Both of us had commented on how salty dinner was last night. We are assuming that is the cause and tomorrow will be normal again.
1/11 – 128.4 Not fully back down. I somewhat wonder if any of the numbers relate to having to put in new batteries in the scale a couple days ago.
1/12 – 129.0 this one makes sense. I allowed myself a stress response and did an untracked binge. I was at least cautious the rest of the day, but obviously it did not mitigate the mistake.
1/13 – 128.0 Made it through yesterday. Went out to each, but pre-tracked and ordered my “go to” for that restaurant. The Tuna Tataki entrée with no included soup/salad, or sides. That with only half a glass of wine, had me in a safe position to face unknown “dessert and libations” back at a friends home after. Everything tracked. Only negative is that I did not do any exercise yesterday. Heading for my walk in 3 minutes.
1/14 – 127.6 Basically back where I was 5 days ago, I’ll just be happy if I finish the round lower than I started. Did not track at all yesterday. Did not have the mental capacity. Today is a good catch up day that started with a 90 minute walk.

@Zaxa2021 A swing like what you are seeing strikes me a likely fluid. Basically suddenly large changes cannot mathmatically be actual fat. It is considered that 3500 calories is roughly the calories in a lb. To go down two lb requires a burning, or reduced consumption, or 7000 calories. A gain of 5 or 7 lbs (depending on your starting number) requires the over consumption of 17,500 to 24,500 calories. Remember that is over and above what your body is burning each day, which is probably a base of at least 1700 per day. With math, you can feel confident this not a fat gain!
On a related topic that applies to you, and no longer me, is that you still have a hormonal cycle. That can mess with your numbers. When I was younger, I certainly had to truly compare my progress from cycle to cycle since the days within the cycle were impacted by those hormones. At 62, ever day is hormonally the same and I don't have that variable anymore. For me, unlike others I knew (most complain of a gain), the day my period started was a huge drop (could be up to 5 pounds). Each person has their pattern. Learning yours will help you to more comfortably monitor yourself over time, but that will take time to learn.
One of the advantages to honest tracking is when one has a bad day, you can look at the tracking and see if the scale reflects one's diet or not. Tracking provides that support.
Good luck! (Used to do WW. Became staff in 2002 ("frontline" as receptionist) and worked for them 12 years. Probably weighed 100 people a week in my later years.6 -

RND 247
1/7: 205.9
1/8: 205.6 (-0.3) good diet day, bad exercise. Planning to sort both out today!
1/9 206.8 (+1.2) new scales so that may account for more accuracy as the exercise and diet couldn’t have been a whole lot better. Bigger push today!
1/10 205.9 (-0.9) back to the old scales! Are more (albeit all good stuff) and didn’t get nearly as much exercise so I presume the loss today is a delayed benefit of the efforts of 1/8 at the gym! Definitely hit the wall on that initial blast but feeling really good and motivated to keep on keeping on.
1/11 205.4 (-0.5) hoped for more to be honest! Made it a significant calorie deficit day yesterday with three hours of tennis so only dropping half a pound is a little disappointing.
1/12 203.9 (-1.5) that’s more like it! Doubled down on the focus and discipline and it paid dividends! Getting closer by the day to the first hurdle of <200!
1/13 202.8 (-1.1) another very solid day. Couple of hours of tennis in and very disciplined on the diet. Sub 200 hopefully in the next week!
1/14 202.1 (-0.7) fell off the wagon a little. Exercised way less than intended and opted for pizza for dinner plus had two truffles in the day instead of one. Very annoyed with my lack of discipline so planning to be a lot stricter today!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/07 - 176.4, ate really healthy yesterday, cooked and stocked up at Prep'd, so I have 0 excuse for not eating healthy. Didn't walk yesterday, but it's pretty today, and I'm on my way. Slept ok last night.
01/08 - 175, ate very well, walked, sleep better, still needs work.
01/09 - 173.8, ate very well, no walk, didn't sleep. It's going down as easy as it went up. A mind of its own
01/10 - 173, baked. Ate well, but too much. Shopped a lot. Slept badly.
01/11 - 174.2 the scale finally figured out I baked. Lol. Ate very well yesterday. Busy running errands cause the frigid weather is headed our way and we don't know how to handle it, so no walk. Good Sleep still evades me.
01/12 - 175, ate well, no exercise. Slept better
01/13 - 173, Round and round she goes, where she stops, nobody knows. Lol. Ate very well, maybe a little too much. No exercise. Coooold today. Brr. Set the alarm for the middle of the night to get up and turn the water on to make sure it didn't freeze. Still got some good sleep before and after. Made soup to have quick and easy while it's so cold.
01/14 - 172.6, still too cold to get out 🥶. Ate well. 🍲 soup's good! Set alarm again. Slept well 😌 around it.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

1/9 134.5 Dentist today for teeth cleaning then lunch at Jimmy John’s with DH (a rare occurrence since he’s been on the BOD for our HOA) [OMG! I hate acronyms! LOL]
1/10 134.5 3 days of Total Carbs under 20. I was over on Fat due to heavy cream in my ⭐️bucks Flat White
1/11 133.5 Mammo and Dexa today
1/12 133.5 Got the mammo but not the Dexa. I wish they had told me before to not take vitamins and calcium in the morning. They have never said that in the past. This they DIDN’T tell me to clean off deodorant but I hadn’t put any on in preparation. I’m so angry about that and the contortions the mammo tech tried to get me to do. She clearly didn’t understand that the rods in my back don’t bend and arthritis in my neck means I don’t have full ROM in my neck.
1/13 134.0 🤷♀️ My GKI is down to 3.8 ❤️
1/14 134.0 I’m very distracted these days by goings on in our neighborhood. No TMI x 2 Great Greek today - steak and salad GKI remains good although up a little, probably due to a Truly I drank last night.6 -

Showing today’s weight; yesterday’s actions
1/7 Visiting son and his family. DNW - travel
1/8 DNW - travel 🏋️♀️ 👣💧
1/9 128.0# Yesterday was long train ride home=sitting 🫤. We managed to get a 30 minute walk in on a trail next to the station before the trip 👣. Back to some normalcy today!
1/10 127.8# 💧🥕🏋️♀️ Fighting off a cold - rest day today.
1/11 127.6# 💧🥕 I’m still feeling under the weather. 😕 I’m super tired despite a ton of sleep. I have little tolerance for being sick- a waste of a day.
1/12 127.6# 💧🥕 well I feel like Rip Van Winkle with sleeping the last couple of days. I’m better today but still not firing on all cylinders. Did some mild strength training this AM to get muscles activated.
1/13 127.4# 💧👣🥕🏋️♀️ if I could I would only post 1 foot since my walk was less vigorous than usual but it was good for my mental health to get outside so I’ll take it. Not very hungry because I can’t taste anything and didn’t have my usual Friday night glass of wine.
1/14 127.0# 🥕🏋️♀️ Hydration wasn’t on target yesterday. Feeling almost back to normal today😁
