@SModa61 The first year I was in Nevada DD and I entered a walk (me) run (she). I was so surprised and excited to come in 3rd in my age group! Later learned there were only 3 in the category. Oh well, I’m still proud of finishing and my certificate is in it frame.
@quiltingjaine I love it
Congratulations!!

@deepwoodsladyI long for the day when I can have a “Sliver” of cake or “Just One” piece of chocolate from a box of chocolates. Will that day ever come? I just don’t see it happening.
You struck a big chord for me- I feel your pain, I've lived the results :-(
We got our GS cookies the other day, and I know that, for me, I'm always one thin mint away from a binge. Last night my partner happily sat munching cookies and he offered me one; I said no thank you. Then he offered me a bite of his. Why does he do that? He, for whom food is never a problem, who had to eat to gain weight his whole life. He's watched me agonizingly gain and lose 25lbs more than once over the last 15 years, sitting on the couch working my way through anything in the pantry. He's usually supportive, but he just doesn't understand the difference for me. And he doesn't need to- I need to. I didn't "bite".
50 + years of yoyo-ing has taught me that, not unlike an alcoholic, I'm best avoiding sugary treats or salty/fatty snacks. I've binged my way up and starved my way down for years and it wreaked havoc on my digestive system, my blood pressure and my emotional/mental well-being. When I found this challenge less than 2 months ago, I decided this is my personal Waterloo. Enough.
I want this to be the year where I find balance and feel good about what and how I eat. I want to eat healthfully and feel satisfied- and treat food like the pleasure it is, but remove the unhealthy choices from my lexicon. This needs to be a shift in my thinking and habits, not yet another doomed diet.
And now I know, of course, that it won't end when I see that "magic number" on the scale- this is a lifetime commitment. I need to be here, being aware of my choices, sharing with others who have the same dilemma. Because those Girls Scout cookies will always be lurking out there, just waiting for me...
Rant over. Thanks for listening :-)
@judefit1 Thanks so much for your response. Yours is such a powerful message! Sometimes I feel so alone in this WAR with sugar, but clearly I am not. I have even been told that the sugar fed my cancer (when I had breast cancer) and even that doesn't always stop me. It is very powerful. But I'm with you, ENOUGH! The yoyo-ing does need to STOP. That yoyo-ing is just as bad as sugar and every other bad habit I may have. We've got to stop putting our bodies through this and really make eating a HEALTHY but productive and sustainable choice. I love your positive attitude on this subject and your self-awareness. You have reminded me that the "magic number" on the scale will never be the end. In fact, for all intents & purposes, it is actually the beginning. The beginning of a new life, the one I could have and should have had all along. I know this is not easy for any of us. Most of us have our "demons" or we wouldn't be here. Putting diet, exercise and mindset all together is like trying to figure out the 3 number combination on a safe. It's EXCRUCIATINGLY difficult but not impossible. I guess they don't call this a journey for nothing! Thanks again for sharing your own trials, your "Waterloo" with me/us.6 -

02/15 …..178.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/16 -178.2- (Trend weight 180.7)
02/17 -179.6- (Trend weight 180.6) Yesterday I planned a day with moderate calories and carbs. I did really well until the Sugarfest All-Out Binge last night. I didn’t even want to post today but accountability is the whole point, right? So today I will be doing one of the lowest calorie & carb days to reverse things. It’s Very Obvious….Completely Clear….I have no more control over sugar than I did when I began this journey in 2018. I long for the day when I can have a “Sliver” of cake or “Just One” piece of chocolate from a box of chocolates. Will that day ever come? I just don’t see it happening.
02/18 -179.2- (Trend weight 180.5) Pile it on, whittle it off. Gosh, I thought the scale would go down a bit more considering how hungry I was yesterday and how well I coped/starved. I came within an inch of another binge, this time it was hungry and cravings all rolled up into one. Then I looked at my watch and was shocked to see it was already after 2:00 a.m. So I said to myself, “Donna, you won’t even be awake long enough to gloat in it or bask in its sunshine”, so I didn’t do it. I must admit, had it been 9:00 pm I think I would have caved. There is more than one kind of strength training. The one with my handweights is much easier than this! I’m already starting my day off still hungry. In fact, when I went to copy today’s post to add to my saved format, I thought my computer said Pasta. It said Paste.

~ I wanted to use this moment to ask @everyone a question(this is for anyone who doesn’t mind sharing) it has come to my attention that some people, myself being an example, have been prescribed a medication that has a side effect of weight loss or appetite suppressant. I realize that some people may not have the same side effects but would anyone mind sharing their experience on this??
~ For me personally, I have been prescribed ADD medication for my entire adult life and I’ve never been “skinny” mind you, BUT I have noticed that it does help with my appetite on the days I take it. Vyvanse is a bit weaker in this arena compared to when I used to be on Adderall.
~ I was talking to my mom who’s just recently gone through the change and who’s doctor has been trying to find her the right “cocktail” to help her with her ups and downs. She has been so amazing lately and I finally asked her.. “You’ve been so chill lately and you’ve been losing weight so quickly, like what’s going on??” A little back story here; she has DRASTICALLY gained weight over the last 2 years due to previously prescribed pain meds and surgeries… and my mother has always been genetically petite her whole life. And I finally asked her like “What gives ??” And apparently it’s the Pellet she’s had inserted a little while ago.
~ Another scenario is my husband has been prescribed Wegovy (due to being pre-diabetic)but he was hoping to stop himself from gaining more weight and ultimately prevent another heart attack. But for him it hasn’t been helping him lose weight thus far
~ Does anyone else have a story similar to this?
~ Also: Is anyone doing this NATURALLY with no help??
I’m begging for more insight on this! Thank you in advance!4 - Sat 02/17: 178.5;+.4lbs

I can’t weigh myself everyday because it leads to bad behaviors for me so I will weigh myself end of these 10 days. Anyway. I walked on my ancient treadmill for an hour today! First substantial work out since November and since my total thyroidectomy. It felt really good and I’m proud of myself as I woke up exhausted.10 -

Last round I stopped eating breakfast and I will continue the experiment this round. So I am eating 2 larger meals a day and getting at least 22 active minutes in per day.
SW RND 251: 161.8lbs
2/16: 161.8 lbs I have been struggling with hunger when skipping breakfast the last few days. After advice from quiltingjaine, I am going to try to have lunch around 11am and dinner around 6pm to see if that will work better.
2/17: 163.1 lbs I ate a lot at a party. I went in to the party thinking I would just eat a few things which turned in to eating all the things. If I could go back in time, I not even sure I would change anything. I had a great time and I am back on track today.
2/18: 163.6 lbs Almost 2 pounds up from where I started! I guess I am still gaining from the party splurge. I did have a lot of salt in my dinner so perhaps that has contributed to my gains.

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 251 (my 181st). Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this going, so grateful.
Goals for this round; to lose! And to break the “always looking for something to put in my mouth” syndrome!
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.

2/17 144.4 – so there it is the weight at the end of the family holiday, luckily not too much of a hike and something to work at. We spent yesterday at National Trust property Errdig, DGC played in the woods, climbed the trees, balanced on the fallen trees, enjoyed the tree swing and after our picnic enjoyed toasting marshmallows before we all went our separate ways to travel home. A wonderful family week; it seemed really quiet when we got home !!

Hey everyone, I'm Crystal! I did this challenge several years ago and loved it. Starting this challange again this round (Feb 16th). I started getting serious again about weight loss in October last year (2023). Counted calories, watched my sugar and carbs and did IF (16/8). I had already been doing the fasting part of it for over a year. Lost about 12-13 lbs by Christmas but hit a plateau so decided to give OMAD a try. Just started that Feb 5th. I eat my 1 meal at dinner time, anywhere between 5:30-7 pm. Allow myself a dessert an hr later, give or take and that is it until the next day. (Aside from coffee, which I refuse to give up in the mornings). Still following my macro goals as well. Looking forward to reading everyone's stories and tips/goals! ❤️

@judefit1 - my husband does the exact same thing to me and it makes me crazy. Every evening he sits there with snacks and just munches away, as I sit there in agony trying to resist the temptation or live the guilt for having given in.
The other day he made "healthy" cookies - which were theoretically more healthy than "regular" cookies in that he made them with almond flour and peanut butter so they had slightly more protein than your average chocolate chip cookie - but they still had sugar - and chocolate chips - and like you, I cannot trust myself to eat just one bite, just one cookie. It only takes the right combination of stress and hunger and I am eating 10. I am better off just not eating them. Moderation is a dangerous game for me to play when it come to sweets.
As we sat watching TV after dinner, he ate cookie after cookie and kept saying "I can't believe you don't want one of these - they are so good!" It took everything I had not to give in. I got up and made myself a chocolate protein shake to try to fool myself into thinking I was getting a treat. He asked me what I was doing, and when I said I am making myself a protein shake so I won't eat a cookie, he asked me to bring him two more cookies!!!

RND 251 (my sixth)
SW (first round) 155.8
SW (this round) 153.1
2/16 - 152.3 - Totally fell off the wagon in the last round 🙁. I’ve been weighing but not logging or posting or really doing anything focused on eating well, staying hydrated and losing all these extra pounds I’m trying to give away. It’s been a stressful week which has resulted in a loss of focus, and loss of discipline and the scale going the wrong way - which proves (again) that planning and logging works. Making it up as I go and relying on myself to make good choices when under stress and time pressures NEVER works. It seems that is a lesson I needed to learn again this week. Ran 3.5 miles today. 10 miles planned for tomorrow. 14 weeks until marathon day.
2/17 - 152.7 - not surprising given the challenging run I had yesterday - I often find my body holds onto weight after I have a long/intense run without the right kind of recovery. Hopefully with some rest and mindful recovery today in addition to being focused and disciplined with the eating and hydration, this week I will see the scale start going back in the other direction (although the pizza I had for dinner tonight will not be particularly helpful. I stayed under my calories for the day - but that is A LOT of salt late in the day - not the type of thing to encourage weight loss.)

2/17- 194.4
2/18- 194.8
2/19- 195.4 it’s interesting that my initial reaction to being up was totally fine, I know my body. I know the difference between a real gain and a normal fluctuation. My calories were good, my body feels good and I feel good.
But my initial reaction to POSTING a blip up was a feeling of failure, disappointment and embarrassment.
I’m gonna have to sit with these two very different feelings. I don’t think I fully understand how it effects me when my inner voice has this split personality of self acceptance vs. fear of judgement.8 -

Thank you @quiltingjaine6 -
@deepwoodslady :
You're an inspiration in what you've overcome and how you've stuck to making changes in your life. Forget the "should have hads" - you have it now just in what you're teaching us about thatYou have reminded me that the "magic number" on the scale will never be the end. In fact, for all intents & purposes, it is actually the beginning. The beginning of a new life, the one I could have and should have had all along.
@Leigh_b : it also infuriated me when he gains 10 lbs and loses it in a week with no real effort
Good thing I love him. 4 -

Previous R251 Daily Comments:
********************************2/16 131.0lbs. It’s important to me to have a new focus every round. (Not just a continuation of the previous round). For 20 rounds now, I’ve viewed this time as “becoming” vs “being” I’m basically at my destination- so now what? I thought “maintenance” was just about maintaining weight but it’s actually LIVING a new daily life … I want this WOE to be who I am at my core. And, how do I live each day with everything in my life supporting that choice?!…. It’s pretty simple… If it doesn’t fit, get rid of it… And start something new… And LOVING IT!! 🍀to all! Let’s get it done!
2/17 Yesterday was another non-routine day. Started reading “Habit Mechanic”. A “how to” tool book/workbook combining behavioral science, neuroscience and psychology to identify unwanted habits and start new ones. If serious about weight loss, changing any aspect of your life & becoming the best version of yourself, I highly recommend it. Today will be another cold, wet, ugly day, … I’ll be able to get in 🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼. Hope to 🚶♀️but the weather may not cooperate. Food is planned.
Also want to thank @quiltingjaine and @camandjarvis for your detailed, thoughtful responses. My thinking cap is on.
2/18 I read yesterday to not focus on gaining muscle until body fat % down. I’m looking forward to speaking to my “trainer” Friday. I know it could sound to most I’m splitting hairs but ever since she told me, “Skinny Fat” … oh gosh just … oh gosh! I felt really, really bad. A friend of mine said, “WELL, I’d much rather be skinny fat than just plain ole FAT!” Well not me. I’ve been athletic most of my life, and to learn that I’m NOT “in shape” when I sincerely believed I was, was alarming … After 8 wks of going from ZERO to moderate 🤸🏼🏋️♀️, I’m definitely feeling more tone & stronger. I WILL keep trusting that the process is working & the scan shows it…. But…. ngl, I’m apprehensive about Friday. Let’s just keep focused and DO the work ….Today: very cold and extra windy (for me) 🙆♀️🤸🏼🏋️♀️ inside this morn & will🚶♀️later weather permitting. Food planned.
2/19 ⚖️ 131.2lbs
✅ all systems go & 13k 🚶♀️as well as 🤸🏼🙆♀️💗. Solid day.
Visited Renpho (⚖️) settings. I was using the old app that is no longer supported. Updated it. My stats are more in line with the InBody and make more sense now. So…. I will be interested to see how close Friday InBody scan comes to this current software/my scale. Will let you know (For all you Renfro users.) May no longer need the InBody.
I’m now one week into my new macros that I’ve hit consistently … No measurable/noticeable change…

Another 🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….
2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs. Always self-conscious.
8/1/ 2022 crept up to 142lbs.

📣#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.

02/17 -179.6- (Trend weight 180.6)
02/18 -179.2- (Trend weight 180.5) Pile it on, whittle it off. Gosh, I thought the scale would go down a bit more considering how hungry I was yesterday and how well I coped/starved. I came within an inch of another binge, this time it was hungry and cravings all rolled up into one. Then I looked at my watch and was shocked to see it was already after 2:00 a.m. So I said to myself, “Donna, you won’t even be awake long enough to gloat in it or bask in its sunshine”, so I didn’t do it. I must admit, had it been 9:00 pm I think I would have caved. There is more than one kind of strength training. The one with my handweights is much easier than this! I’m already starting my day off still hungry. In fact, when I went to copy today’s post to add to my saved format, I thought my computer said Pasta. It said Paste.
02/19 -179.4- (Trend weight 180.5) No real structured exercise yesterday although I worked my butt off cleaning out an upstairs closet. I’m also going through all the clothing on hangers that came out of my bedroom closet that is being renovated. I’m not through them all yet……I travel tomorrow to get more blood work done at the hospital. Hopefully they can lower my thyroid medicine again. All signs of me getting healthier after some of the weight loss I’ve been experiencing over the past year. Now…..if only I could get my diabetes medicine lowered. …..

Yes! Still much too high, but at least moving the right direction.

I’m going to a friend’s this morning to knit, and she said she has treats, so I’m going to have to watch myself.

Oh, good. I did have some rhubarb pie yesterday at my friend’s house, and DH made rigatoni for dinner, so I expected to be up a bit. Hopefully this will hold if I behave myself today. Have a lovely Sunday!

Not a great weekend (pie on Sat., pizza yesterday), and here’s the result. I’ll be so glad when warmer walking weather arrives.

It's been a while since I've been here, but decided to focus on weight loss again and this has always been a helpful tool for me. Lost 30 pounds last spring. then gained a few of those back. Have kept up my daily walks, but need to concentrate on nutrition.

2/19 182.1 Went to a Mexican restaurant with friends and indulged in chips and margaritas..and it sure showed up on the scale! Time to get serious today. Lots of water and walking....

~ I had my one night of drinking with my husband on Sat night. We shared two pitchers of Michelob ultra. The scale went up a bit for that reason. I quickly recovered into Sunday and drank a toooon of water to help contend with the post-drinking munchies I still ate low carb throughout the weekend and didn’t go off the rails late that night, as I normally would have. I forced myself to go to bed with a couple of Melatonin gummies. I can never sleep well when I drink too much.

~ I wish I would have pre-logged yesterday. Taking the rice out of the left over Home chef meal did NOT make it low carb! If I was in Ketosis I’m probably not anymore! It is a new day and the first thing I did upon opening my little eyeballs(besides putting in my contacts and brushing my teeth) was drink my 40 oz cup of water and get on the treadmill! I really don’t want to [insert in bold!!]WILL NOT!! Self-sabotage this weekend. - Fri 02/16: 176.3;-.7lbs
~ I have been snacking on the zero sugar candies my husband gave me for Valentine’s Day… but only 4 pieces at a time and I’ll eat them with a Tbs of JIF no sugar peanut butter. It hit the spot but it is the only processed food “splurge” I’ve been having lately. So the sale made sense today! - SW: 177

I’ve been slowly gaining 10lbs a year over the last few years. This challenge helped me stay focused in the past.
2/16- 194.4
2/17- 194.4
2/18- 194.8
2/19- 195.4 it’s interesting that my initial reaction to being up was totally fine, I know my body. I know the difference between a real gain and a normal fluctuation. My calories were good, my body feels good and I feel good.
But my initial reaction to POSTING a blip up was a feeling of failure, disappointment and embarrassment.
I’m gonna have to sit with these two very different feelings. I don’t think I fully understand how it effects me when my inner voice has this split personality of self acceptance vs. fear of judgement.
Look at my weight history, for example, my ups and downs are so erratic, but overall, I'm losing an average of 2 pounds a month. Snail's pace. But after a 45 pound loss, and with only a few pounds to go, I'm kind of sitting on the fence between losing slowly and maintaining. Meanwhile, my weight swings have always been wild. If you check other people's logs, you'll see some with small swings, some with larger ones, but we all have them, so we expect you to, too. Just as long as you're averaging down.
We WILL do this.6 -
He asked me what I was doing, and when I said I am making myself a protein shake so I won't eat a cookie, he asked me to bring him two more cookies!!!
I have to say that I think this was quite rude of him. My husband discovered that cookies are pretty easy to make but he knows I have zero willpower. He’ll make them, then divide them in baggies or containers and deliver them to friends around the neighborhood. He keeps some for himself but puts them out of my sight.jspecies11 wrote: »2/19 128.8# 🏋️♀️ I made bread this weekend and then ate it of course.
Of course, what else would you do with it? HUG! Actually right after the pandemic lockdown, I made bread. All I wanted was one end slice, hot, right out of the oven with a LOT of butter. I ate that and we gave the rest to a friend.

2/19 131.5 Add 2 glasses of wine and 6 extra family members to yesterday’s Great Greek. Went and had my nails done then stopped at Starbucks for my free birthday coffee. All the years I’ve had a Starbucks card and this is the first time I’ve taken advantage!7 -

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
2/16 – 126.4
2/17 – 126.6 So Interesting day (I am posting at night). Day started out with a bang. I entered a 5K as a walker this morning (249 people) and got my best walking pace yet and actually came in “first” of the walkers. Got home and needed to get the house put together (and a shower) as guests were coming over. Was multitasking along the way and DH was helping. I had my computer awkwardly balanced and DH knocked into it while vacuuming. Computer is now semi broken. Oh well. I can still type and post, despite the hinky screen.
2/18 – 125.6 It was a complicated day, food wise. Did not track, but I am familiar enough with what is “ok” that I went with monitored but untracked. Scale seems to agree. Started this morning with a “fun” walk. I have purchased pet backpacks, so this morning I included Han Solo (one of my cats) in my walk. Could only do one lap due to my shoulders/neck and the backpack. But it is clearly an option when I want.
2/19 – 127.2 Boing. Half priced valentines candy at Walgreens.

All my miles are walked outside, often alone or at weekends with DH. I am retired (well supposedly!, still have a casual seasonal job as an exam invigilator at a school, volunteer at a National Trust property and childmind DGS on two separate days), and so my main "job" is my walking. It is my time, the time when I plan, meditate and enjoy nature. I often do not do all the miles consecutively, sometimes in as many as 4 separate walks, if I am going anywhere if it is feasible to walk then I will!!
Thank you for introducing me to Stridekick, I've signed up to a February challenge to walk 14-20K steps every day in the month, I know I won't do every day (childminding days in particular) but maybe It will average out. 5
