/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.”
2/9: 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.

Happy to see this little drop. Surprised actually. Bracing myself for a combo Superbowl party / Birthday Party for DDL. I am going to smoke some chicken drumsticks.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.11 -

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.

Round 250 ● My Journey ~ round 6 ● Karla, 67y, 5'4"
* Journey SW 231 lb. * UGW 140 lb.
* Round 5 SW 217.4 lb. * EW 220 lb.
🙂Earlier this round...- (Day 61) Tu - 02/06 ✴ 217.4 lb. ~ Well, the ortho visit was somewhat encouraging, but again not. I have a joint effusion (fluid in the joint) and foreign bodies floating around. So, I got a Toradol injection and a dose pack of steroids, will rest and do stretches. I did manage to lose 3 lbs. since yesterday, Ha…Ha... water weight from the swelling in my knee.
- (Day 62) We - 02/07 ✴ 217.8 lb. ~ Lots of sitting today. I ate pretty well. Water intake was ugly. I know we will see the sun again and when we do I’ll forget about the winter doldrums like every other year. It helps to know it will happen and look towards the sun. That’s all I’ve got.
- (Day 63) Th - 02/08 ✴ 217.0 lb. ~ Long day, mentally tired.ut
- (Day 64) Fr - 02/09 ✴ 217 lb. ~ It’s been a long week. As with others here I have been struggling through this challenge. I don’t know if it’s the time of year, the weather, or am I hiding behind a fear of failure. What am I afraid of? Why am I self-sabotaging? I used to be thin, active, and healthy. I know part of it is aging; the kinks and pains grow, limiting physical activity. The thing is, in my mind, I see myself as young and healthy and thin… It’s just when I look in the mirror I realize that physically it is not true. So, if I want the exterior to match the interior, and I have to REALLY want it, I cannot fall back on whining, excuses, over-eating, sitting around on my behind, and surfing the web. I must think about the choices I am making, look at the potential gains or losses, and be willing to get up and move. Oh, I’m a great planner I am, but the follow-through, it gets me. Sigh... Maybe not this time though...
- (Day 65) Sa - 02/10 ✴ 215.4 lb. ~ I’m accepting this weight drop, but I am not sure what to think. If it stays here I will celebrate and keep working, if not I will keep working. The goal for this round is 1.5 lb. loss (not water). I am behind on my projected loss at this point in the journey, adjustment is needed.
How, did I adjust? Out to dinner with Hubbie, this is a rare treat for us. We hit the Seafood Grill, it was so good, way over the limit in butter. I did get a good walk in with lots of stairs, now the leg is up and the ice machine is on. We’ll see what tomorrow brings…
Goals this Round:- Water 60oz+ each day
- Eating healthy; fats, vegetables, fruits, high protein & fiber, 1450 kcal.
- 30min of (IM) intentional movement every day; walking, strength, etc.

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.
2/9- 171.6 Late night tonight. But another good day.
2/10- 170.9 (77.5 kg) Pizza for dinner tonight and breakfast out this morning. I went over calories, but should still have a small deficit for the day.

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.

2/10 DNW - no structured walking yesterday, only hit 8822 steps, mixture of busy running errands and no window in the days rain, managed to go only 94 calories over. Holiday home is really lovely!

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.
2/7 ⚖️131.6
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.
2/10 132.0 ugh. I know I’m doing all the work but why? Not even a drift down? I swear the scale is EVIL! Plain EVIL! My commitment is being tested…
✅🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼🎾🚶♀️10.6k 💦🥩💗75 min macros & kcals! Did it all!
🙆♀️🎾this morning. Will 🏋️♀️🚶♀️💗this afternoon. Daily affirmations…. Smile…. Be thankful. Enjoy! Will have a positive attitude-ONWARD!
NSV- trusting the hard work. I knew this was going to be hard… I knew it would take at least two rounds to lose a pound or two… because my primary goal is to gain muscle.💪🏻 Remembering - I am a scientific anomaly. Stretching is going well… My balance is improving and I’ve been successful, increasing 🏋️♀️ and reps, so there is THAT! 🧐😎. Am I giving myself a peptalk? Yes! At 5 AM I’m all over the place but once I enjoy my coffee and start stretching the day will be fantastic!
2/11 131.7 ✅🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼🎾🚶♀️10.2k 💦🥩💗56 min, macros & kcals! Excellent day. Enjoyed my coffee & started stretching & lifting… Got that done by 8AM & then headed to my tennis match. Needed to walk 1.5 miles after lunch to hit 10k steps and 💗Z2. Felt great!
Today: RAIN but will 🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼 -want to fit in 🚶♀️💗later if possible. Food planned.
NSV: Louisiana is in the thick of Mardi Gras celebrations… still no king cake 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻. Trying our best to be festive without food & drink as the main event. Scheduled a 5 mi hike with good friends for Mardi Gras morning at our nearest state park - with breakfast after… This will be our “festivity” vs all day revelry. Will be a beautiful day.
Clothes NSV- Bought a new pair of jeans yesterday… Down TWO sizes from July! Down approx 15lbs but 🏋️♀️ is sure making a huge difference!

F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean Ketovore 🥩. Track macros, kcals, all exercise and NSVs. HW 172lbs in 2010.

Pre- college: 125-130lbs
College- 160lbs one year… graduated @130lbs.
1990 (Age 32) - Avg.135/140 lbs
2000 (Age 42) - Avg 145 lbs

Initial BF% : 22%
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 @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Five years!
🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….
2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs. Always self-conscious.
8/1/ 2022 crept up to 142lbs.
Dropped to 128lbs again by 10/30 - held 130lbs till 2/1/23.
2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much! Nutrition has always been somewhat healthy BUT portion control is/was THE huge issue. Started tracking again 7/15/23. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are @ 130 determined to…. STOP the 🎢 & be in the
📣#bestshapeofmylife 📣
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 be healthy & fit & maintain approx. 130lbs & IN SHAPE.
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 was absent. Strength & balance are most important now. Time to incorporate ST 🏋️♀️ 🙆♀️🤸🏼as my TRUE focus.

Hi, Kelly here- 5'11" 56 yrs.
RND 248 End Weight-207.0
RND 249 End Weight-205.7
Goal this round is to lose 2 pounds and end up around 203.7
SW RND 250
2/6- 207.7 Right here is where fluid and medication related changes make me shirk the scale. I even skipped posting on this day and had to make myself go back in and put the darn weight into the graph. I haven't been eating anything I shouldn't, I weighed and re-weighed and took perfectly good batteries out of the scale and replaced them with newer perfectly good batteries. It just makes you feel defeated.
2/7- 206.6 A pound seems like a lot to lose overnight according to my bff but considering I jumped up two pounds the day before, I will take it. Fluid makes it hard to see what my actual progress is, and I do have better fitting clothing.
2/8- 206.2
2/9- 206.2

2/11: Amazing day yesterday with my oldest daughter and her girls; walk from Penn Station and lunch at "Juniors" in Times Square; we stopped to watch a break dancers show and younger girl (our spitfire) was enlisted to "perform!" Very fun NYC moment! Saw "Wicked", and the little girls were entranced (so were we!). So, the fact that I'm steady this weekend is perfectly fine!
Here she is "performing on Broadway":

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.”
2/9: 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.
2/10: 225.8
/logged it all; Floor exercises/
Happy to see this little drop. Surprised actually. Bracing myself for a combo Superbowl party / Birthday Party for DDL. I am going to smoke some chicken drumsticks.
2/05: 230.8
Starting weight on day before this round.
2/11: 226.2
/food logged and under goal; went to the pool and “water walked” and did some resistance exercise with water weights (floating dumbbells.)/
Praying for wisdom about my dad. Considering whether he should stay in the nursing home long term, or should he try to come home again? (only to fall...again. He is recovering from a fall on Christmas day which landed him in the hospital. He has fallen many times in 2023.) He has moderate dementia, which makes it harder.
Thanks for “listening.”

2/7: 132.8. no exercise at all. I've been extremely exhausted the last few days. I'm wondering if Seasonal Depression has slapped me I'm the face. I'm struggling right now.
2/8: 133.0. I ate a bit extra, hoping a little diet break will help me feel better physically. Yesterday wasnt as bad, but still not feeling great
2/9: DNW

2/11: 132.7. I took a bit of an unplanned diet break. I'm pleasantly surprised that my weight didn't go up. But I've still got to get my head in the game. I haven't been feeling well, physically or mentally. My goal is to go to the gym tonight, but lately, that's been the last thing I want to do at the end of the day.

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.
2/10 – 127.2
2/11 – 126.2 Two days totally off track. Started with DH being sent home with a cake from MIL. I cannot own such things. Gave half away to a widower friend, then I ate the whole other half. I actually did not even like, but it is something I will tend to do if the opportunity is there.

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.

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.
2/09 - 194
I did better yesterday, so this is delayed reaction gain. But enough. More than enough.
2/10 - 194.4
What??? My calories yesterday = 1535, a little higher than goal but not excessive, and I didn’t snack last night, so I know it’s from Wednesday, but still disappointing. This afternoon I’m invited to some friends’ house for “women only scrabble and snacks.” My first thought was to skip lunch, but I’ve decided a better strategy is to eat a reasonable, high-protein lunch so I don’t go hungry. They are very healthy-food conscious, so I know the snacks will be healthy & homemade, though not necessarily low calorie. I’d skip the whole thing, but another friend is pushing me to go, so…. I know I’ll do a lot better once the weather breaks and I get back to the garden (lots of updating ideas, i.e., labor/exercise) and to walking (aiming to get back to the 6-8 miles a day i used to walk). Plus I don’t crave heavy carbs and fat in warm weather. So I’m sad about my current state but optimistic for Spring and Summer.

@_JeffreyD_ Is assisted living a possibility? My MIL was in assisted living with dementia and at some point my SIL decided she needed “more.” She moved, eventually, to a secured unit.

2/11 136.0 Not surprised. No way to track last night’s OG I ate one breadstick, one meatball, 2 small strips of chicken, and 2 pieces of sausage. Small dish of salad with OG dressing7 -
@_JEFFREYD_ I empathize with you having walked in those shoes with my mother. It is never an easy decision, but in the end, his health and safety are most important. IMO if he has settled into the routine at the nursing home it is more disruptive to his mentation to move him back home only to have to move him back again. Dementia unfortunately continues to progress.
In my mother's case having a stable routine and environment, receiving her medications on time and correctly, eating meals regularly that were prepared to fit her needs, plus being actively engaged with activities and other people from her generation to reminisce with made the transition easier for her. We had 24-hour access to her and her caregivers. She was happy, safe, and well-cared for; a bonus was the ambulance rides became almost non-existent. I pray for God's blessings on you and your family.8 -

02/06 -183.0- (Trend weight 183.2)
02/07 -181.0- (Trend weight 183.2)
02/08 -178.2- (Trend weight 182.7)
02/09 -178.4- (Trend weight 182.3)
02/10 -179.0- (Trend weight 181.9) I showed a small gain of about ½ lb. overnight for an unknown reason as I thought yesterday was on target. I ate a moderate day of about 1300 calories and 64 net carbs on my zig-zag diet. Sodium was about 2550 so it was a touch high. Fat and protein were in line with my desired macros. I did about 45 minutes of actual exercising and also tackled a home project which really helped me get extra steps in. TMI was good before weighing and my sleep was pretty good too. I know that weight leveling off and/or standing still for a minute can be typical but an unexplained gain is always confusing. I will just have to trust my trend weight, which continues to go down, that I’m on the right track. I had two pieces of sugar-free Russell Stovers dark chocolate last night that fell within my limits. Could that be it? Could it be the TYPE of foods instead of the actual numbers attached to the foods? I am glad to be back in the 170’s but it looks like I may be trying to hold on for dear life. I really want to impress my doctor on Monday!
02/11 -179.2- (Trend weight 181.7) I’m okay with a 0.2 increase even though I wish it wasn’t the day before an important doctor appointment. The increase is expected due to no TMI and also because of that sandwich I had at 2:00 a.m. I was just so hungry! I wasn’t about to make the same mistake I’ve made so many times and start stuffing “approved” snacks into my pie hole that add up to big trouble and no satisfaction. So I just broke down and made my low calorie/lower carb sandwich and enjoyed it with a cold glass of water. I don’t think it actually put me over my calories or carbs for the day so I’m happy to see the damage wasn’t too bad. Tonight I’ll need to go to bed earlier for my traveling downstate early in the morning so history should not repeat itself, at least not tonight. While traveling I will opt for my highest calorie day on the zig-zag plan, but will very likely still be over. I’ll pay that fiddler when I get home.

2/7 239 / First day back to work yesterday. Ate 2/3 meals out but made reasonable choices. Steps still low- aim to fix that today.
2/8 234.2 / Big whoosh of the trip and TOM weight gain. Chinese food dinner with friends tonight.
2/9 235.6 TGIF! Looking forward to getting home after work and having some me time. Hubby is curling.. I hope to get on the Peloton. I do have a longish walk home after work as I'm going to take the bus so we'll see how I fare.
2/10 234.2 / Felt lazy last night so I took it easy. I'd gotten over 10K steps and I didn't feel like doing more. Dentist today.
2/11 235.6 / The laziness has continued and some self-sabotage in the eating department last night. Trying not to beat myself up.

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.
2/10: 161.6 lbs Pizza night and I stuck to my pre-planned amount. We got given a massive pumpkin and I told the kids I would use some to make strudel and the rest to make soup. So I need to factor in eating some strudel today.
2/11: 162.9 lbs It was a tiring day and I ended up eating all the things including strudel and cookies. Now to spend the rest of the challenge trying to get back to where I was yesterday!

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.

Thank you @jspecies11 and @Onewomanswalk and @judefit1
@pezhed ~ hope your preschooler and you are ok. Happy Birthday!
@sheilaBoneham ~ how did you do with Scrabble and snacks. Good strategy to eat a high protein lunch.
@Judefit1 ~ Very cool, your daughter performing on Broadway!
@_JeffreyD_~ Praying for you and your decision re your dad. Very difficult one.
@deepwoodslady ~ I just read something about how snacking does not curb the hunger, hence the reason we continue to snack. So your move to eat a low calorie/lower carb sandwhich looks like it was the right move!
@Onewomanswalk ~ Enjoy your time during the Superbowl!!

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.
2/9- 171.6 Late night tonight. But another good day.
2/10- 170.9 (77.5 kg) Pizza for dinner tonight and breakfast out this morning. I went over calories, but should still have a small deficit for the day.
2/11- 170.4 Husband and I hadn't eaten and were starving at 2 PM, so we opted to cook dinner then. Followed that by taking the dog for a walk, then going to Costco. 7:30 rolled around and neither of us were very hungry, so I had dessert, he had some edamame, and now we are relaxing the rest of the evening.

Round 250 ● My Journey ~ round 6 ● Karla, 67y, 5'4"
* Journey SW 231 lb. * UGW 140 lb.
* Round 5 SW 217.4 lb. * EW 220 lb.
🙂Earlier this round...- (Day 61) Tu - 02/06 ✴ 217.4 lb. ~ Well, the ortho visit was somewhat encouraging, but again not. I have a joint effusion (fluid in the joint) and foreign bodies floating around. So, I got a Toradol injection and a dose pack of steroids, will rest and do stretches. I did manage to lose 3 lbs. since yesterday, Ha…Ha... water weight from the swelling in my knee.
- (Day 62) We - 02/07 ✴ 217.8 lb. ~ Lots of sitting today. I ate pretty well. Water intake was ugly. I know we will see the sun again and when we do I’ll forget about the winter doldrums like every other year. It helps to know it will happen and look towards the sun. That’s all I’ve got.
- (Day 63) Th - 02/08 ✴ 217.0 lb. ~ Long day, mentally tired.
- (Day 64) Fr - 02/09 ✴ 217 lb. ~ It’s been a long week. As with others here I have been struggling through this challenge. I don’t know if it’s the time of year, the weather, or am I hiding behind a fear of failure. What am I afraid of? Why am I self-sabotaging? I used to be thin, active, and healthy. I know part of it is aging; the kinks and pains grow, limiting physical activity. The thing is, in my mind, I see myself as young and healthy and thin… It’s just when I look in the mirror I realize that physically it is not true. So, if I want the exterior to match the interior, and I must REALLY want it, I cannot fall back on whining, excuses, over-eating, sitting around on my behind, and surfing the web. I must think about the choices I am making, look at the potential gains or losses, and be willing to get up and move. Oh, I’m a great planner I am, but the follow-through, it gets me. Sigh... Maybe not this time though...
- (Day 65) Sa - 02/10 ✴ 215.4 lb. ~ I’m accepting this weight drop, but I am not sure what to think. If it stays here I will celebrate and keep working, if not I will keep working. The goal for this round is 1.5 lb. loss (not water). I am behind on my projected loss at this point in the journey, adjustment is needed.
How, did I adjust? Out to dinner with Hubbie, it's a rare treat for us. We hit the Seafood Grill, it was so good, way over the limit in butter. I did have a good walk with lots of stairs, now the leg is up, and the ice machine is on. We’ll see what tomorrow brings…
🙂Todays thoughts...- (Day 66) Su - 02/11 ✴ 216.2 lb. ~ Today. Water? no, IM? no, Healthy foods? Yes
[*]
Water Intake 60oz+ daily
[*] Healthy Eating (HE); fats, vegetables, fruits, high protein & fiber, 1450 kcal.
[*] Intentional Movement (IM) 30min daily; walking, strength, etc.

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.
2/9 142.8 – no structured walking; childminding little DGS. Today we travel to the large holiday home that we will share with DS, DD and their families; excited!! 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.
2/10 DNW - no structured walking yesterday, only hit 8822 steps, mixture of busy running errands and no window in the days rain, managed to go only 94 calories over. Holiday home is really lovely!

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!9 -
@jeffery_b - my heart goes out to you, we had to move my late father into a residential care home due to his dementia, he was physically very well, but started 'wandering' trying to get back home which for him was the address he had lived at when he was 5 years old, after numerous times of the police bringing him back after a caring member of the public being concerned for his welfare, or us going searching for him for hours at a time, we were forced into the unpleasant decision. It is heart breaking, it was not a pleasant transition for him, but then he wasn't happy in his actual home either 😪. But the truth of the matter was that we had to take comfort in the knowledge that he was safe & also because the care home was close to my home I was able to visit him daily. I hope that you and your family are able to make the best decision for your father given his circumstances, it is not easy 🤗 xx6

SW RND 250
2/6- 207.7 Right here is where fluid and medication related changes make me shirk the scale. I even skipped posting on this day and had to make myself go back in and put the darn weight into the graph. I haven't been eating anything I shouldn't, I weighed and re-weighed and took perfectly good batteries out of the scale and replaced them with newer perfectly good batteries. It just makes you feel defeated.
2/7- 206.6 A pound seems like a lot to lose overnight according to my bff but considering I jumped up two pounds the day before, I will take it. Fluid makes it hard to see what my actual progress is, and I do have better fitting clothing.
2/8- 206.2
2/9- 206.2
2/10-204.8
2/11- 205.1 Superbowl Sunday today- we watch more English Premier League but I might tune in for the half time show.
