I'm Crystal! Started OMAD on 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 dinner time 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! ❤️

2/16 183.1: 2 lbs up from a few days ago. I woke up feeling BAD and was sluggish and nauseous all day. Yesterday we ate fast food because I didn't have time to prepare anything and we were in a rush.. Well lesson learned.
2/17 182.5 just having an off couple of days. Only a few hours of sleep last night too. Hoping for more sleep tonight, and a better day tomorrow
2/18 181.9 woke up feeling better today!
2/19 DNW
2/20 181.9 Making sure I get a walk in today, and most days this week. I haven't been able to get one in the past several days. Hope everyone has a wonderful week ❤️

02/18 - 150.0
02/19 - 150.2
02/20 - 151.0 - As expected. The dogs woke me up at 3am on the dot and that's when I weighed as I knew I wouldn't get a chance to do again. I'm very sore in the legs and feeling quite bloated - likely pre-TOM bloat as I'm still waiting on that to resolve. I discovered yesterday at the end of my workday I will have to travel next week for work. I leave Sunday (the last day of this challenge) and return Friday, landing at midnight Friday into Saturday. I have fire department training Saturday that I'll likely miss so I can sleep - I won't be home until nearly 3am Saturday assuming my flights are on time (never are). So this week I will be doing my best to pre-plan as much as I can related to travel (lunch and dinner Sunday through dinner Friday) to stay on track. The hotel and HQ office has a fitness center - will check them both out (hotel on Monday so I can go in and find out if I can even use the HQ's center since I'll likely need a sponsor. I don't have a building badge since I'm virtual and I don't think anyone on my team comes in that early to "sponsor" me so I can use it. Will find out though).

Previous Day's Comments02/16 - I'm still quite sore so I'm happy to have dropped this much. Workout done this morning, have a plan and path forward with a chiropractor (who also has my same injury/metal), and meals planned for next week. I need to make my grocery list but I can't go shopping until Sunday so I have time. Tomorrow I'm planning a longer run. I need to aim for 3.5 or more miles if I have any hope of making it to 6 miles by April with only 1-2 days a week I can reliably run. Feeling good about progress, though!
02/17 - A ton of bloat has dropped off now that I've avoided dairy/lactose. Today's slight increase is likely due to sodium (we had Asian for lunch and that's a normal reaction for me) and TOM is scheduled to arrive this week so there's some bloat involved. I won't be surprised if I'm even higher tomorrow due to bloat and DOMs - today was leg day at the gym. Jello legs anyone? I'm eating 80% paleo and focusing on reducing carbs (today is higher due to the heavy lifts and Friday on my log run, but every other day this week will be lower on carbs). Feeling good and hopeful!

Two voices
We all have TWO voices in our head.
1. The one that wants to be lazy & take it easy. This voice NEVER goes away but over time — make that little numbskull quieter.
And then there’s the other voice….
2. The one that tells you, you ARE worth it, to get up and get going, you’re capable & strong!

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. …..
02/20 -179.4- (Trend weight 180.6) I weighed in extra early and didn’t have a chance to post until now due to travel out of town. I’m sure tomorrow’s scale will not be the best but that’s how it usually works for me. I wish I had the energy to get in some exercise this evening now that I’m home, but I’m just too wiped out. Tomorrow will be a good day, I promise.

Round 251 * My Journey (Rnd 7)🤔Today’s thoughts... SW 216.0 lb. this round.
SW 231.0 lb. * UGW 145 lb. ~ Karla, 67y, 5'4" ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~- (Day 74) Mo - 02/19 ✴ 215.8 lb.:💧58oz.; 👣 10min.; 🥑Way over on kcal. 712 kcal,! wow! I ate my feelings. Saw the ortho today, drained synovial fluid from the knee (labs pending), also had a Toradol injection and cortisone in the joint. 4 months post-op. Now regretting I didn’t have a full knee done. I should always listen to my gut.
- (Day 75) Tu - 02/20 ✴ 218.8 lb.:💧58 oz.; 👣 20 min.; 🥑I did much better today. Delicious food, all fresh and non-processed, barely under my new 1400 kcal. (I dropped off the extra 50 kcal) We’ll see if it helps.
After yesterday’s debacle, I am again focused and praying the jump in weight is temporary. After calculating the journey so far. I have dropped 15.5 pounds in 75 days. That averages a bit over 2 lbs. lost per 10-day challenge, quite respectable I’d say.
- 💧Water 50oz+ daily
- 🥑 Healthy eating; fats, vegetables, fruits, high protein & fiber, 1400 kcal.
- 👣 Intentional movement, 30 min. daily; walking, strength, etc.
🤞What's ahead...- (Day 71) Fr - 02/16 ✴ 216.8 lb.:💧40 oz.; 👣 10 min.; 🥑Ate well, not as many vegetables as usual, but then it was a light day on eating. Just not that hungry or it could be the big protein this morning. Whatever, it feels good.
- (Day 72) Sa - 02/17 ✴ 215.4 lb.:💧52oz.; 👣 0 min.; 🥑Working with the protein to stay satisfied.

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.

2/16 DNW
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 !!
2/18 143.6 – 11.22 miles walked; 36% of exercise calories eaten back. It feels good to be back in the swing!!
2/19 142.2 – 9.48 miles walked; 10% exercise calories eaten back.
2/20 142.2 – 7.75 miles walked; 55% of exercise calories eaten back.
2/21 142.6 - 8.67 miles walked, got out to walk early before meeting up with sisters for lunch and a spot of leisurely mooching around Lichfield; 70% of exercise calories eaten back.

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…
2/2/20 Only 6k steps yesterday. ✅ for all other measures.
Today’s affirmations:
“An identity shift is crucial to keeping fat off for life. You must develop the habits and mindset of a fit person.”
“Just because your weight isn’t moving down doesn’t mean you aren’t making progress. When you first start lifting you can lose inches off your waist without losing lbs on the scale.”
Looking forward to a key tennis match in a few hours…. 😎. My team tied for first…. we have a gorgeous, fun day ahead!
Dinner with friends this eve. I’m Prepared… Shrimp Ceviche!
2/21⚖️ 131.6
✅on all cylinders. A day full of exercise & sunshine! We won our tennis match which was seriously fun. Playing again this morn. Not loving the scale but am determined to listen to my positive voice. I had a great day (food-wise), 💦, and last night at dinner instead of ceviche-ordered a grilled mix - quite satisfying. Today is another high-protein day & outdoor day. Onward.
NSV-Proud of myself for plowing through this process, even though the results aren’t “visible” yet-feeling strong.

Aug 14, 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take serious control of my health. I lost 30lbs by 11/15/2014. Weight @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Five years!
Another 🎢 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 issue. Started tracking again 7/15/23. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are @ 130ish 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.

Time to wake up some slumbering healthy habits. ZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzSLAP! Here is an idea, I should look at my daily goals for this round.
The good news is I am keeping up with my other responsibilities, so at least I am not a total sluggard. 😊

I'm Crystal! Started OMAD on 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 dinner time 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! ❤️

Krysless, after 30+ years of using every crutch available to me; 'pills, shots, diets, formulas, shakes, programs, hypnosis, DVDs, CDs, counseling, and personal trainers, ...'. I have finally found success. For some reason, this group of people, signing in daily, being accountable to myself, and knowing I am not doing this alone, is showing me slow but consistent progress. Would I like it to be faster? Hell yes! But fast loss is not sustainable for me. I wish you well in this journey and hope you can avoid some of the frustration, money, and years I have wasted. I am doing this naturally this final time simply and consistently making healthy choices in food, life, and exercise. It is working.~ 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!
@onewomanswalk Congrats!! I have often thought about why being in this group is so beneficial. IF you are actually posting each day, there is a little bit of self reflection required which can lead to better understanding of cause and effect. There is also the support factor, and learning from each other. I am sure I am missing other benefits on my list. I also know from experience that when I have less time for the group, I am not as successful. Glad you have found what helps you best!!! 10 -

February 16 - 25, 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
2/16 – 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.
2/20 – 127.6 More candy
2/21 – 127.4 Candy is now gone. Need to remind myself that I lack control.

hi there! I couldn’t seem to tag you by placing the @ sign in front of your user name. So I’m trying to grab your attention by your “quote”…..
…
I was just curious about the books you read.🤔You seem to have the same interest in books that I do…when I used to take the time to read them.
Would you mind recommending a couple that might have stood out to you? I could use a really good one to jumpstart my old reading habits!
I’m flattered that you asked!
Many quotes come from “X”. I follow many individuals who are on a health journey, fitness, training, etc. I try to catch new nuggets of inspiration from them each morning.
Books: For the past six months, I’ve been focusing on two books. Atomic Habits by James Clear and Habit Mechanic By Dr. John Finn.
I also keep Allistair McCaw’s book close by, “Champion Minded”
First and foremost… My Bible. 🤗

~ Maybe I should’ve logged ahead and then maybe I would have had only one hot Italian sausage not two. I was definitely under calorie and carb but I am low on groceries and my day was filled with what I had on hand; low carb bread and sodium filled sausages and sandwich meats and cheeses. (1000+ over my sodium goal for the day)

~ 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. - Sun 02/18🟥178.5;+.4lbs

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’m sure tomorrow’s scale will not be the best but that’s how it usually works for me. I wish I had the energy to get in some exercise this evening now that I’m home, but I’m just too wiped out. Tomorrow will be a good day, I promise.
02/21 -181.2- (Trend weight 180.7) Bam! There’s that travel weight. Restaurant lunch. Leftovers from lunch for dinner (so high sodium and calorie/carb twice!), and only a little over 3000 steps for the entire day. Today that fiddler gets paid again. He’s happy. I’m not.

Yes! Still much too high, but at least moving the right direction.
02/17 - 193.4
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.
02/18 - 193.4
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!
02/19 - 194.6
Not a great weekend (pie on Sat., pizza yesterday), and here’s the result. I’ll be so glad when warmer walking weather arrives.
02/20 - 195.4
The rest of the “pizza climb” plus I went out for lunch and snacked at night and went way over my goal yesterday. We have no junk food in the house, it’s all “healthy” snacks, but of course they are not healthy in massive quantities. Why do I keep doing this?
02/21 - 194.8
I was more in control yesterday, which makes me feel better. I’m also changing my breakfasts for more protein—I stocked up on Bilinski chicken sausages and had one this morning, so I’m feeling quite virtuous.

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.

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

2/16 131.5 TMI after weighing, of course.
2/17 132.0 Just going with the flow. Macros were right on yesterday. Giving my body a chance to adjust to the change in diet.
2/18 132.0 Rode the tourist train with DD DSIL and DGGS yesterday morning. Today is my birthday. No big plans - it’s Sunday so Great Greek. I’m going all out and getting the lamb burger and feta fries.
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!
2/20 131.5 It’s okay
2/21 131.0 Stress continues but I didn’t give in to snacking. If we had a saltines, I’m sure I would have. Tonight is community Bingo and “dinner.” I don’t know what they’re having but I’m making pork chops between 11 and 1 to accommodate DH’s various meetings. Yesterday I didn’t even THINK about making dinner - I wasn’t eating so he had to fend for himself. I’m a terrible wife.13 -

02/21 - 151.1 - More DOMS and bloat. My legs are really feeling it today from leg day on Monday. My chest isn't terrible but I'm sure I'll feel it more tomorrow, as I usually do feel worse on the second day. We did back today and I really pushed hard on it. Won't be surprised to see some ups before I leave simply due to DOMS. Hopefully, though, TOM bloat will start dropping off in the next day or two. Sticking fairly well to paleo and I've found some bars I can easily travel with to take for snacks if I need it. One day at a time!

Previous Day's Comments02/16 - I'm still quite sore so I'm happy to have dropped this much. Workout done this morning, have a plan and path forward with a chiropractor (who also has my same injury/metal), and meals planned for next week. I need to make my grocery list but I can't go shopping until Sunday so I have time. Tomorrow I'm planning a longer run. I need to aim for 3.5 or more miles if I have any hope of making it to 6 miles by April with only 1-2 days a week I can reliably run. Feeling good about progress, though!
02/17
02/18
02/19 - A ton of bloat has dropped off now that I've avoided dairy/lactose. Today's slight increase is likely due to sodium (we had Asian for lunch and that's a normal reaction for me) and TOM is scheduled to arrive this week so there's some bloat involved. I won't be surprised if I'm even higher tomorrow due to bloat and DOMs - today was leg day at the gym. Jello legs anyone? I'm eating 80% paleo and focusing on reducing carbs (today is higher due to the heavy lifts and Friday on my log run, but every other day this week will be lower on carbs). Feeling good and hopeful!
02/20 - As expected. The dogs woke me up at 3am on the dot and that's when I weighed as I knew I wouldn't get a chance to do again. I'm very sore in the legs and feeling quite bloated - likely pre-TOM bloat as I'm still waiting on that to resolve. I discovered yesterday at the end of my workday I will have to travel next week for work. I leave Sunday (the last day of this challenge) and return Friday, landing at midnight Friday into Saturday. I have fire department training Saturday that I'll likely miss so I can sleep - I won't be home until nearly 3am Saturday assuming my flights are on time (never are). So this week I will be doing my best to pre-plan as much as I can related to travel (lunch and dinner Sunday through dinner Friday) to stay on track. The hotel and HQ office has a fitness center - will check them both out (hotel on Monday so I can go in and find out if I can even use the HQ's center since I'll likely need a sponsor. I don't have a building badge since I'm virtual and I don't think anyone on my team comes in that early to "sponsor" me so I can use it. Will find out though).

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 > trying hard for 80💧
- Closing my rings M-F🚶🏽
The critical rounds (last two) are over and I feel more in control after seeing the scale go down today after ticking upward and then staying there. I went up a total of 1.6 pounds over the last 2 rounds. Reinforcements: Alcohol kills weight loss and supports gains.
