💕💖💝Just 10 More Days💝💖💕
I’m a 65 year young Oregon gal, working to hit my next goal of 130. The plan this round continues to be a minimum of 10,000 steps 👣, 2-3 days a week at the gym🏋️♀️, logging ✏️ everyday with no snacking after 8:00, and limiting the 🍷to social events only. And of course guzzling the water 💧!!!

Thanks you for the anniversary wishes.
DH had planned to cook Salmon (in the oven) but he forgot the oven was broken! I had a nail/pedicure appointment at 5. He texted me 5:30 asking me to meet at a restaurant near our home. I said ok, I'll text when I leave my appointment. He said text ETA too. I replied, being a smart @$$ 17 minutes. Well, he thought I was on my way! He knows there's no way I get a mani and pedi in 30 minutes...but so be it. He went to the restaurant and I showed up about an hour later....and we had dinner!
It was still a nice dinner. Then we get to go out again on Saturday as originally planned!! Not good for the scale I might add! 11 -

I gained weight last round so I will see how this round goes before deciding on whether to reevaluate what I am doing. I am eating 3 meals a day with no snacks and getting at least 22 active minutes in per day. I stopped counting calories last round and that is probably the problem. I feel the way I am eating at the moment is more sustainable but it is probably more of a maintenance strategy.
SW RND 250: 163.6 lbs
2/6: 163.6 lbs
2/7: 163.8 lbs
2/8: 162.0 lbs I have no idea where the whoosh came from. I have done nothing different from the last round where I gained. The scale moves in mysterious ways. If I maintain this weight until the end of this challenge I will be happy but I know the scale can go up just as easily.

RND 250 (my fifth)
SW (first round): 155.8
SW (this round): 151.4
2/6 - 151.5 - traveling for work to Salt Lake City this week. Won't be able to weigh myself again until Saturday. Eating on the road is always tough especially when you don't have a lot of control over where you are eating and when. Ran 3 miles exploring the city this afternoon. Excited to have new running scenery this week 😁.
2/7 - DNW - traveling for work. Not really able to log food either - I am at a specialty food show and part of the job is to walk around and sample things so after a breakfast buffet of fresh fruit and a hard boiled egg, it has been random this and random that in bite sized portions. Being specialty food it is, for the most part, on the healthier side (more so than it will be when I go to the Sweets & Snack show in May) but it is a full day of snacking with absolutely no way to actually track what it is. Trying to make sure I am only trying things that are true business needs/possibilities and keeping to just one bite even if the sample is larger than that. Ran 3.5 miles before the feeding frenzy began so hopefully helped keep my day “even”. Vendor dinner tonight - planning to order soup and salad rather than a full meal - but sometimes my plans are foiled by other plans from the vendor hosting the dinner. Fingers crossed I will be able to order from the menu rather than limited options or a buffet.
2/8 ‐ DNW - travelling for work. Another day of unavoidable random snacking topped off with a big vendor hosted dinner. Thankful I at least got to run (3 miles this morning) and explore the city even if it was rainy and cloudy the whole time. There will be 0 miles tomorrow since it is an early travel day (catching the train to the airport at 5 am) - but i will be very glad to get home and back to normal routine.

2/6- 173.5 I weighed and logged but forgot to post.
2/7- 173.1 Monthly coffee with a friend night. We schedule the 1st Wednesday of the month. It keeps us consistent and it's something to look forward to. I actually don't drink coffee so it's hot chocolate and a warm chocolate chip cookie night for me. Tonight I skipped the hot chocolate and just had the cookie.
2/8- 171.7 I had easy dinner tonight: Stouffer's meat lovers lasagna. Not sure how that will affect the scale.

I'm in for Round 249
RND 249 (my first)
SW): 177.8
GW: 165
1/27 - 178.8 I went up a little because I wasn't focused, but I'm going to do better today.
1/28 - 177.2. I was focused on not eating too much too late last night. That's going to be my focus for the rest of this challenge.
1/29 - 176.2. Ice cream Sunday, but I kept my calories low and still got the win. Today I plan on getting a workout.
1/30 - 176.4. I wasn't focused enough at night, snacking got to me, but I won't let it defeat me today! Onwards and upwards
1/31 177.8. I failed! Binge eating at its best
2/1 176.2. Down from yesterdays nose dive, but still fighting for a victory this week!
2/2 - 175.8. I'm figuring it out. Eating like an upside down pyramid. Meals big for breakfast, medium for lunch, snack for dinner. That's working for me!
2/3 - 177.8. Worked out for the first time in a long time! Weights causing gain, maybe!?!
2/4 - 176.2. I didn't go crazy eating last night. I'm gonna get a win for the final day!!! Let's go!!!
2/5 - 176.8. Well, I finished my first round. There were some good things and some bad things. Looking for houses meant lots of car time and eating out!! I'm pleased with my progress! 1lb weightloss isnt too bad! Thankful we get to do it again!

The past couple days I have felt hunger pangs (I know this is a ridiculous statement because I have no idea what real hunger is.) Whatever it is, in the past year I have rewarded the feeling with immediate snacking, and usually not clean snacks.
“Kuchisabishii” is a uniquely Japanese word that literally means “lonely mouth” or “longing to have or put something in one's mouth.”
I think I have chronic Kuchisabishii, & need an anitdote!!!5 -
65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 250 (my 180th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, as always, so grateful.
Goals for this round; not going to set any numbers as I only self-sabotage when it looks like I’m getting there! So, again to weigh less at the end than the start and an NSV to keep resting heart rate under 50 (currently 49, but the norm for me used to be around 46-47), also no binge eating. For a last 7 days we are away with all the family, DS, DD, spouses, & DGC, so will be hard, but will endeavour to do my best. Have the use of an indoor swimming pool daily, sports court and local walks, so will utilise to best of my ability.
Good luck everyone for a successful round.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.

2/6 142 – 9.53 miles walked; all exercise calories plus eaten back. Had to find out a belt to help hold my jeans up yesterday.
2/7 142.8 – wrong direction!! 7.86 miles walked, 80% of exercise calories eaten back.
2/8 142.8 – 10.61 miles walked; 55% exercise calories eaten back.

Will not be weighing for the rest of the round, but will aim to stay strong & not gain, can’t afford to gain anymore!! And I'll check in daily.

Round 250
January February 6 – 15, 2024
62 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 two parents, 87(mother), 85(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 (father has since passed and I am DPOA, Personal representative AKA executor, trustee, and oversee the majority of my mother’s care). 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
2/6 – 125.6 Took the morning off from walking yesterday. Tracked well. Convinced DH to go do a single lap around the golf course after dinner, around 1.67 miles. It was nice.
2/7 – 125.8 Totally misbehaved yesterday. Wiped out a number of “diet” ice cream treats. Tracked until mid day, but then chose to not spend the time tracking a complex new recipe at dinner (a healthy one mind you – just lots of ingredients)
2/8 – 126.0 Ate well yesterday, tracked and hit targets, and walked 5 miles. Not concerned about the number.
2/9 – 126.6 another fine day. This is the fun of eating more in a maintenance range.

Round 245 Posts
This is my posting format….
Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed.
/ Logged Food - yesterday; Exercise – yesterday / Comment
Previous posts:2/6: 228.4
/food logged; walked outside…Brrrr/
So, here I am crawling back with my tail between my legs hoping you will allow me to join you all again. (my self esteem isn’t quite this bad) 😊
In my experience with an endeavor like this, or any other, I have always had a slow start. It seems hopeless. Then at some point, if I can stick to it and put a few good days in a row, I will see real progress. After that I am good to go.
I am planning an active 2024, so this needs to work.
2/7: 226.4
/food logged; very little exercise/
I am doing a good job of shedding water these last two days.
2/8: 226.0
/logged it all; good exercise/
Logging food intake is definitely important to me. I stayed under my goal yesterday because I was watching. Unchecked, I would have found all kinds of things to shove into my cake hole. The past couple days I have felt hunger pangs (I know this is a ridiculous statement because I have no idea what real hunger is.) Whatever it is, in the past year I have rewarded the feeling with immediate snacking, and usually not clean snacks. Thus, logging. I have to find a way to enjoy the pangs.
Exercise yesterday was a group exercise class. I am one of the younger ones. My ego says “stay out of there, that class is for old people.” My body says “this class hurts (so good), keep coming back here.”
2/05: 230.8
Starting weight on day before this round.
2/9: 226.6
/Food strictly logged and goal met; Some floor exercise and stretching/
Well, here it is, my first backslide of the round. It was inevitable, though there is no real explanation for it this time. I ate right and exercised. But as we know, the body is weird. Especially mine. My scale reading typically bounces around like a ping pong ball…. While I notice some of us here are rock steady.
Could be TMI or water retention or both.
Side note: Is it just me or has the term TMI become just as graphic as using the real term? Either way it is “the subject about which we do not speak.”
Mic drop.

Spent a couple of hrs yesterday reviewing MFP stats & goals. Determined my personal maintenance kcals is approx 1400 (NOT 1600) as I had determined. Having seven+ months of tracking / hard data is invaluable. I have also been MUCH less active over the past 4-5 weeks (weather). Love having this data and so, I can & will reset.
DH is my witness… He is dumbfounded by how easy it is for me to gain vs. how hard it is for me to lose… He sees nutrition, discipline, movement, & work-outs … I’m glad he is here to reinforce & encourage me. We both believe I am a 💯scientific anomaly. 😁Embracing it!!! Onward!
NSV: 209 days of tracking. 209 days of leaning in FOR my health, fitness and longevity.

Yesterday I did it all! 💥🙌🏻
✅🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼🚶♀️🎾💦🥩macros & kcals! Loved me some 💦all day long. Today: Activity & meals planned. 🤸🏼🏋️♀️ early, then 🎾. Neighborhood croquet match this afternoon. 😎— will be a fun/full day!
NSV: Food is fuel. Not reward.
2/8⚖️ 131.5
Almost ALL…. barely missed steps! (7.5k) Also missed Z2 💗goal. Need more minutes in Z2.
✅🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼🎾💦🥩macros & kcals! New macros, etc going well. First time in a good long while I pre-plugged in food purposefully to hit target. Needed 129g of protein-not an easy task! Grass-fed whey protein isolate did the trick.
Today: Rest day? May go for power walk/jog …. Let’s see how I feel later. Two pretty intense days.
???? Left a message to book my InBody scan on 2/22. Two weeks to “make a difference”…. Haven’t yet found the pre-natural drive to ST 🏋️♀️…. Only “feel” accomplished AFTER doing it. I sure hope I begin to soon neutralize the thought of it vs. dreading. Perhaps 🏋️♀️will just always be “necessary drudgery”…. similar to emptying the dishwasher.
NSV?: cant hit Z2 💗 now by only power-walking. I now need to JOG to increase my HR to Z2. While good for cardiovascular…. I really don’t enjoy jogging … Will try again to increase 💗somehow without jogging!
(I’m interested in “burning fat”… For those unfamiliar with heart rate zones please research because it’s very interesting!)
2/9⚖️131.4
✅🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼🚶♀️8.2k💦💗45 min. protein over & 200 over in kcals (1400). When I got home from bridge last night, scrambled a couple of eggs… It’s been a LONG time since I’ve snacked after dinner…. Broke IF.
Today: Another high-protein day. Scheduled: 🙆♀️🎾 🏋️♀️🤸🏼.
NSV - InBody is 2/23. I sincerely enjoy reading about nutrition, fitness & health. Keeps me motivated. Hit 💗Z2 45 min.

2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs. Always self-conscious.

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 & IN SHAPE. Pretty clear that once I reached a goal weight I would then relax/ drift backwards.
As I age it becomes much, MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could lose 15lbs easy in 8 weeks up to 2022 ish … 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.

@ashleycarole86 when I lived in the city, I also took the bus or Muni home. I would play a game to see if I could walk to the next stop before the bus. Many times I ended up walking home which was great! 🚐

I’m not off to a great start this round—snacked last night—but today is a new day. I went out for Chinese yesterday with my Monday lunch friend, stuck to stir fry, and didn’t eat dinner, but…. Anyway, I’ll do better today.
2/07 - 193.2
I ate very responsibly yesterday until about 8 p.m., when I had a bowl of ice cream. I was hungry, but should have eaten something healthy instead. Still, my calories were only slightly over my goal. Day by day.
2/08 - 193.8
Ugh. I considered lying about it, but what’s the point of that? And how did I get here? Food, I know, but I’ve put (back) on a shocking 15 pounds since this time last year. And yes, I snacked last night, ice cream and triscuits with cheese. I probably double my calories. What has happened to me mentally/emotionally to make me/let me do this to myself? Maybe if I can figure that out I can get rid of these 15 pounds and then more. I know the mechanics of weight loss, so at this point it’s clearly a mental/emotional game for me. I feel just awful. No need for hugs—a kick in the pants would probably help more.

I did better yesterday, so this is delayed reaction gain. But enough. More than enough.

~ Another day done without alcohol. Finding my own “happy” without it. It also made me want to eat more so the losses are coming on stronger.
~I do wonder if I’ll be able to hang onto these feelings on Super Bowl Sunday. We’re going to a birthday/SBS party where there will be a ton of food and drinks. As my grandmother used to say… We’ll see..

~ I’m not going to sweat this increase. The body is a surprising thing sometimes . I stuck to plan yesterday; Not drinking alcohol and limiting processed foods.
~ Continuing on this path, I fully expect a swooshing dip in the scale over the next few days. - Tue 02/06🖤181.4;+.7lbs
~ I’m technically behind a day in my “reflections” so[color] [copy/paste from prev day here] - SW: 180.7
~ My plan for round 250 is to eliminate drinking alcohol on a nightly basis.
~ Try to get more into old school Keto, and for one meal a day I’ll allow myself to have a Keto processed food item. ie. Keto hot dog buns, keto slimfast snacks, I’ll pick one meal to eat these items.
These adjustments should also help with our food/beverage budget🤔** Bonus!! **
~ Also started a step challenge with my dad and brother. This should help me with getting back into my daily walks again

02/07 -181.0- (Trend weight 183.2)
02/08 -178.2- (Trend weight 182.7) I’m getting back in there and taking what is Rightfully Mine, 170’s. LOL. I guess what I’m really doing is just trying to make an honest woman out of myself since my colorful scratch off list was still saying I’d conquered the 180’s. The last two days I have done the lower calorie & carb days of my zig-zag. My endocrinologist appointment (for diabetes) is Monday and I really need to show a weight loss and a glucose improvement. Funny how hard I will work for a Doctor but not always for myself. Hmmmm… Just a little self-analysis. Anyway, I didn’t want the doctor to measure my noodle soup I’ve been eating. I wanted him to measure all my hard work since last fall. I still have a couple more days until the appointment. Maybe I can get it even better although the exercise space is getting more and more cramped. Today they are bringing the bedroom furniture into the very narrow livingroom. Things are about to get tough.
02/09 -178.4- (Trend weight 182.3) I’ll call this a normal fluctuation since I know that yesterday was an all-around good day. Today I am Pre-planned, Pre-logged and Pre-pared. Happy Friday everyone. Have a great weekend!

SW RND 250 - 133.8lbs
GW RND 250 - 132.8lbs
2/6 - 133.8. Today's activity is strength training and dog walk.
2/7 - 132.8. That's a nice little re-start Yesterday I walked the dogs and did a 20-minute lower body strength class and 10-minute core. Sounds short but it was *enough*! Today will be a Peloton ride, dog walk, and hopefully some upper body strength training if I can find the time. This semester is hard for the dogs and me - husband and I used to take turns walking the dogs but he's been going to campus every morning. Tuesday/Wednesday he teaches in the mornings but he has other stuff to take care of early in the day the other mornings I guess. I hate when the dog walks fall on me every day when there are other areas of exercise I'd like to prioritize. Ah well, only 3 months left in the semester I guess.
2/8 - 132.6. Yesterday I just did the dog walk and the Peloton ride. Today is a dog walk and strength training. I'm getting a new-to-me Garmin watch today that will probably motivate me!
2/9 - 133.4, but I weighed after coffee so not sure how accurate it is. My birthday weekend plans got cancelled because my preschooler threw up overnight. No idea what the weekend looks like, but if this stomach bug continues to be as contagious in our house as it has been in his classroom (8 kids and 1 teacher were out with it yesterday), well, we're in for a rough one. It actually hasn't been too extreme for him, thankfully, but obviously any amounting of vomiting/diarrhea is enough to cancel plans! Hoping not to spend my birthday tomorrow driving the porcelain bus!

I gained weight last round so I will see how this round goes before deciding on whether to reevaluate what I am doing. I am eating 3 meals a day with no snacks and getting at least 22 active minutes in per day. I stopped counting calories last round and that is probably the problem. I feel the way I am eating at the moment is more sustainable but it is probably more of a maintenance strategy.
SW RND 250: 163.6 lbs
2/6: 163.6 lbs
2/7: 163.8 lbs
2/8: 162.0 lbs I have no idea where the whoosh came from. I have done nothing different from the last round where I gained. The scale moves in mysterious ways. If I maintain this weight until the end of this challenge I will be happy but I know the scale can go up just as easily.
2/9: 161.4 lbs I decided to skip breakfast and have 2 larger meals instead of 3. I know I was going to wait until the end of this round before reevaluating but I was just curious about whether I would actually miss breakfast or not. I did feel hungry at lunch time which I usually don't feel if I have breakfast. But after lunch I felt very satisfied. I am not sure if I will do it longer term. I will give it a go a few times before I decide.

2/6. 176 just a little more than where I started 90 days ago. That last 10 really is hard! Lol. I'll make it eventually. Right now, a healthy life is more important. I just bought chamomile tea and Tylenol pm for next time I can't sleep. Be prepared!
Ate well yesterday. No exercise. Need more sleep.
2/7. 175.8 felt better, ate fair, walked, took a Tylenol pm and 😴 slept 💤
2/8. 173.8 ate well, no formal exercise, went to the mall and window shopped a couple of hours. Slept well.
2/9 scale battery quit. Ate too much. Walked. Slept well.

Hi, I'm Charissa
Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024!
So here we go 2024... my motto -
🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Goals this round:
- Tracking/Under Calorie Budget 🍎
- Macros - hit Protein ✅
- Water - 64oz minimum 💧
- Closing my rings M-F🚶🏽
This round is even more critical than the last one. I went up .8 which really should not have occurred.... I expect the .8 and more to come off fairly quickly. Then there's our anniversary 2/7 and Superbowl weekend. We will wait to go to dinner on Saturday... I can work with dinner. I need to plan for some healthy snacks for Superbowl. The day is usually filled with yummy junk food and I can't afford it this 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.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.
