    3/20 - 59.4
    3/21 - 59.2 - bad night - many bathroom visits, hence the unusual weight loss.
    3/22 - 59.2 - on a positive side I had a better nights sleep and my tight jeans are less tight.
    3/23 - ? - the battery in my scales has died.

    3/17 ⚖️ 131.0lbs
    Yesterday: 7 miles. Beginning to jump rope & build toward 2000 jumps a day. Also, kettlebell routine. Stormy all day today: will squeeze in fitness & Habit Mechanic workbook. I committed to a singles 🎾match tomorrow, which makes me officially crazy.
    🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

    3/18 130.2 ✅💪🏻 & finally hit protein- but no reading or 🏋️‍♀️. (Most important goals 🚫) Literally forgot to 📿. (Jump rope). Today will be super active… I’m playing a singles 🎾match this morning and then focusing on my other activities to ✅ off goals one-by one. Food prep for the week!

    3/19 129.6 ⚖️ is cooperating but Muscle not increasing. Inbody scan is the only device that can track muscle mass with relative accuracy. MUST lift more. I’m simply not attacking it, and “skinny fat” persists.

    Had so much fun at my tennis match yesterday… Lost in a third set tiebreaker… (Which means it was a really close match). First time I played singles in four years & I held my own! My opponent was 20 years younger. Health victory!

    Read two chapters of Habit Mechanic. Learning…

    Confession: My new weekly report was posted in MFP and I reviewed it… I literally skipped three days of logging and I didn’t even realize it. 🥺 That’s how discombobulated I am since starting this new consulting role.

    Offering tremendous respect for everyone in this group… juggling family & work… Here I am retired, working a handful of hours per week, and I’m experiencing challenges with relatively “doable” goals. The mind is an interesting beast - our attitude, choices and priorities… How? Why? This round, I pretty much mindlessly jumped from 253 to 254 without a re-focus. Will address that today.

    BTW, my name is Carolyn.

    Today- reflection, reset & more tennis and 🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️📿.

    3/20⚖️ 129.8lbs
    ✅ but only 10 min of 🏋️‍♀️. Playing too much tennis was my excuse.
    I have 🎾 again today then I have catch-up work. Learned from HM that 98% of our thought patterns and actions are habits… Changing them is possible, but it takes EFFORT/hard work. Called WILL POWER. Yesterday I noticed many tinkering, piddling thought patterns & choices that were simply wasteful. Three hours of do-nothing. While food/drink were spot on, I completely wasted the afternoon. Do BETTER TODAY! Your future you deserves more. Need to remember how great it feels to ✅✅✅ each box. Why am I not choosing to do better / be better? what is holding me back? Still reflecting? Time to act. Today: must 🏋️‍♀️& 📿. You owe it to your soul, mind & body.

    3/21 Better day. ✅ all. 🏋️‍♀️10 min. 📿 300. @ Client’s office all morn. Today will tackle 🏋️‍♀️📿 and structured walk this afternoon. Bridge tonight.

    3/22 Good Day yesterday. Storming all day today but I will get it done!

    3/23⚖️130.0 ✅
    I did not get it ALL done yesterday. I got it “half” done.
    300 📿 jumps, 10min 🏋️‍♀️ and 🚶‍♀️8K. Last night, I enjoyed Mexican food for the first time in a LONG LONG time… Shrimp tacos (lettuce wrap!) and one Paloma… A few chips & salsa, but not many. NSV: Enjoyed last night in moderation without guilt - I’m ready again this morn!
    We might be traveling today, so I’ll exercise /walk @ sunrise! One chapter HM.

    About Me, WOE & Health Journey
    ****************************
    F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean Ketovore 🥩. Track macros, kcals, all exercise and NSVs. HW 172lbs in 2010.

    WOE since 7/2023: Whole Foods. No processed foods. Animal-based proteins. EGGS, Beef, pork, chicken, seafood, venison and grass-fed whey protein. I count macros & kcals - always will. (Since portion control is my issue). Keto is high-fat but I’m now leaning lower healthy fats with leaner proteins. I had paralyzing IBS for 20 years. My mother was diagnosed with celiac’s disease in her 50’s. Following her lead, I eliminated wheat, oat, barley, and rye several years ago…. Dairy? Hard cheese, HWC and butter - an occasional Greek yogurt. Vegetables destroy my digestive system… I love vegetables, but when I splurge, I pay for it for a few days… I do enjoy berries, lemons, limes. Avocados are my weakness. Enjoy a piece of dark chocolate on occasion. Generally, I eat btw noon and 6 pm. (IF18/6). Alcohol? Used to be a social drinker and would enjoy a good martini/scotch or Paloma at home while cooking dinner. NO MORE. Root of many evils. Primarily, the destruction of will power and the enemy of optimal choices. I’d rather journey toward my best-self. I haven’t given up alcohol completely, but I enjoy it sparingly on special occasions. This is me. I finally feel terrific.

    History:

    I have ALWAYS been ON a “diet” since at least high school. I have never been comfortable with my body - NEVER EVER- no matter my weight.

    Pre- college: 125-130lbs
    College- up to 160lbs one year… graduated @130lbs.
    Many different diets each decade!
    1990 (Age 32) - Avg.135/140 lbs (my son was born 1988)
    2000 (Age 42) -Avg 145 -160
    2010 (Age 52) - HW 172 lbs in 2010. 130lbs by end of 2014.
    2020 (Age 62) 130-135lbs
    7/2023 (Age 64) 145lbs
    1/2024 (Age 65) 130lbs

    UGW = 129-130lbs
    ⬆️SMM: 100lbs +
    BF% : 23%

    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. Six 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. My 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 - to enjoy my “Senior” years to my fullest.

    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. I want healthy/fit choices to be my first nature.

    Cumulative Round Results
    7/15/23 SW 145lbs
    R231 - R 247, lost 15lbs to 130.
    Avg loss 1lbs per Round. Painfully SLOW.
    Jan/Feb: Ticked up to a steady 132ish. Happier@129-130.
    (I was in “maintenance” for 4 to 6 weeks & slowly ticked up.)
    130.4 on 3/16/24

    “Fit & Healthy” - striving to continuously improve my strength for an active quality of life. Let’s go!

    Ugh my day was hijacked- what was supposed to be a quick community project meeting turned into an all day affair.
    I was unprepared and ravenous when I left, so when my husband suggested dinner at the local pizza place I was all in.
    I ate a huge loaded salad but also some calamari, garlic bread and two ciders. It was all I ate yesterday but it was just a calorie bomb much later then I would normally eat and I felt too full after. Geez I still feel full 10 hours later.

    /logged; lots of functional exercise participating in a move; 78 oz water/
    Well, this is very unexpected. Although it was kind of a high protein, low sodium, low (for me) carb day yesterday. The protein came from my “quality assurance” sampling of the pork shoulder yesterday morning.

    Welcome to the newcomers!

    3/18: 222.2
    /did not log; very little exercise; not enough water/
    As far as goals go, a very poor day yesterday. I remind myself of me a couple months ago before rejoining our ten-day challenge. Not a sustainable lifestyle.

    But, I am still on the wagon here folks.

    On a side note, at least I have the NCAA basketball tournaments to engage with. 😊 My alma mater Iowa State has a pretty high seed this year. Hoping the right ISU team shows up for the games. We beat Houston twice this year, but they still got seeded higher than we did. I guess the tournament committee is also wondering which ISU team will show up. Ha.

    I will root for the University of Iowa women’s team against my better judgement as a cyclone. I want to see Clark get to cut down the nets.

    Need to find something to replace mindless eating while watching TV. Celery sticks or tulip leaves. I can’t decide which would be worse.

    Any ideas?

    3/19: 221.2
    /logged; group exercise; 99 oz water/
    Managed to keep it under control yesterday. Met my water goal for the first time in a few days.

    3/20: 223.2
    /not logged; not exercised; 66 oz water/
    I am going out on a limb (a sturdy one) to say the 2 pound gain from yesterday is not all my body, but, it is the contents of my body. You know what I mean.

    Helped in the kitchen last night for our church’s “Senior Banquet.” Catered by a local BBQ place. :/

    3/21: 222.2
    /logged; exercise good; 66 oz water/
    NSV: clothes fitting a bit better.

    3/22: 223.6
    /not; not; not/
    Amazing how my focus can be derailed by March Madness basketball.

    3/16: 222.6
    Starting weight on day before this round.

    3/23: 223.8
    /logged; group exercise; 66 oz water/
    My group exercise class does a crazy thing. Once a month we gather for lunch at the Pizza Ranch after class. Not sure how far and wide the Pizza Ranch franchise goes, but it is buffet style pizza, fried chicken and salad bar. I did eat a salad to go along with the other stuff. Here is the odd part; when I got home after filling myself to the rim, I caught myself nosing in the pantry for a little snack. I didn’t do it but….. shows how much of a mental game this is.

    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.

    First timer here. Have a mini goal to get under 200 by the end of the month so I need all the motivation I can get. I'm ready to do this!! Haven't been under 200 since 2009. I'm 66 - 5'5" female in Northern Michigan where winter never ends. Heading south in mid April to spend a couple weeks on the beach so I'm really looking forward to that!! SW 256.

    SW RND 254

    3/18 201.4
    3/19 201.3 Every little bit helps!
    3/20 200.8 SO CLOSE!! Makes me very motivated!!
    3/21 201.2 Oh poop! Had air fryer wings last night and only a slow 30 min on the treadmill.
    3/22 201.1 Creeping along. Ate out last night so this number is good.
    3/23 202.5 Hubby made tuna noodle casserole last night. Two big helpings. Shows doesn't it.

    ▪︎Day2▪Mo•Mar 18-¤206.5
    (Su•51gProt▪︎111gCarb▪︎64ozs water)    Making a legitimate push to 100ozs of water today. Haven't done that in a while.

    ▪︎Day3•Tu•Mar 19-¤DNW
    (Mo•89gProt▪︎49gCarb▪︎120ozs water)     A good day. Closer to eating keto. I'm giving myself 3 days to transition from the grain carbs. Thinking about giving up coffee for a while so that I can make that 128ozs of water breakthrough. I'll weigh tomorrow.

    ▪︎Day4•We•Mar 20-¤206
    (Tu•105gProt▪︎52gCarb▪︎128ozs water)     Okay. Drank my coffee AND met my water goal. Still thinking about giving it up though. A 24hr fast at some point this week.

    ▪︎Day5•Th•Mar 21-¤DNW
    (We•92gProt▪︎34gCarb▪︎128ozs water)     Smh. My carbs could have been 12g yesterday, BUT after dinner I ate 1/3 cup of dried fruit/nut mix. Tomorrow will be my 24hr fast, just water with electrolytes.

    (Fr•65g Prot▪︎27gCarb▪︎102ozs water)     I broke my fast with beef, fish and an ounce of cheddar, completely satisfying, but still gravitated to peanut butter. I expect that I needed the extra B vitamins and especially minerals.

    I'm Crystal! 40 yrs old, wife and mama of 3! Aiming for 1200 calories/day, less than 90 carbs and low sugar. Was doing OMAD, but adding a protein shake in after my afternoon walk to see if that will help with loss since I'm not eating a lot of protein.

    5'4
    SW (Oct. 2023) 198
    GW (Hopefully by June 2024) 145
    February 1st SW: 184.5
    March 1st SW: 176.8
    RND 251 SW: 183.1, EW: 178.8 (-4.3)
    RND 252 SW: 178.8, EW: 176.6 (-2.2)
    RND 253 SW: 176.6, EW 176.1 (-.5)

    RND 254
    Goals for this round are to increase my steps, maybe even adding another walk in on most days. Also to increase my protein
    3/17 176.4 Decent day yesterday, a little higher on sodium though. I was hungry last night when I went to bed but didn't give in to snacking. Brushed my teeth and drank some water and that was that. Hoping to have a better loss this round. I seemed to have hit another plateau so I'm hoping more steps will help with this, along with aiming for more protein.
    3/18 176.4 We normally go out to eat on Sundays but we didn't yesterday thankfully. Still high on sodium. I hadn't really been watching my sodium intake much until recently. It really is hard to stay in my goal for that. I cut my sugar cravings and I honestly rarely crave sugar anymore, so I know I can do better about sodium too. Hoping for a better week, at least to lose something! Hope the same for everyone else who's trying to lose ❤️.
    3/19 176.1 Met all my goals and increased my steps yesterday. I'm not exactly sure by how much but I added an additional HIIT workout in. Also started wearing my galaxy watch again so I can keep up with my steps. Feeling good today! I honestly was at the point that I thought nothing I could do would help me to lose again. But there has to be something. Right now, I'm increasing my protein and steps. NOT giving up!
    3/20 175.5 Another good day yesterday. Met all my goals and got some good steps in. Didn't get around to adding an additional workout in though. Have a mammogram this morning- my first one. Not looking forward to it 😆 but thankful I can get this done. Hope everyone is having a good week!
    3/21 174.8 Great day yesterday. Met all goals and I'm feeling great this morning. I have gotten so used to pre-logging my foods each morning that I was a little thrown off yesterday. Church night and I wasn't sure what was on the menu to eat. I knew I had plenty of calories left to eat a good meal, I just love the fact of logging beforehand. Movie night tonight with some friends. I'm eating my popcorn! 🤣 LOL. I'm sure the saltiness will cause a gain in the morning. I'll just have a small and a zero calorie soda.
    3/22 173.9 Yay! I was expecting a little gain this morning because of the popcorn last night and I ended up over ok macros too. Maybe it's due to the extra protein?? I'm hoping the weight my body has been holding on to this entire month is finally coming off.
    3/23 174.2 Met my goals yesterday- today is been busy already with archery tournaments for my kids. Probably won't have time to get a walk or any exercise.

      ~ Husband ordered a steak sub from Hungry Howie’s and I thought I had such a fail proof plan in place. While he waited for his delivery I made myself a little keto pizza but I ended up burning it!🙄 Ultimately I ended up eating the other half of his sub with some Cajun seasoned Howie bread. Man it was good though! I had not regrets until getting on the scale this morning.. ouch!

      ~ I ate when I wasn’t hungry and I think I forgot to track something somewhere. Otherwise this gain doesn’t really make sense. Yesterday’s weight did keep fluctuating even after I changed out the batteries. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe I need a new scale because it’s been doing that aloe lately.

I had vanilla chai tea last night and I’m always the one who’s like “caffeine doesn’t affect me!” I’ve actually tested this theory multiple times and i would have an espresso an hour before bed and still I’ve slept fine. But I had never tried this particular tea before and boy was I thrashing around last night! Dreams upon vivid dreams. So maybe two vanilla chai tea bags might be one too many for me. I slept terribly and so I slept in to try to “catch up” on it.
      ~ I usually weigh in at 7-730am but this was more like 9-930am and so I’m not sure my weight today is a fair reading
      ~ I’m sitting here thinking about the day ahead and I already skipped my morning session at the gym and I’m not really feeling the treadmill this morning so I really hope I can turn this day around!
    • Tue 03/19⛔️174.6; +.7lbs
      ~ it was a damage control type of day. Got in a lot of steps, ate well (other then the pint of Rebel pistachio low carb ice cream I ate late at night) I was really hungry throughout the day and I finally caved in. .
      ~ Day 2 of my accountability partner/cousin not answering my phone call 🫤 my hubs seems to think I should give it up for now. I’ll definitely consider his suggestion since he’s not someone who naturally likes to work out.
      ~ /\/\ Pre-TMI above /\/\
      **Note to self: Workout gear seems to add about 1.7 lbs
    • Mon 03/18⛔️173.9;-1.5lbs
      ~ Yesterday was a total bust.. but the scale went down(Must. Be. Positive.)
    • Sun 03/17⛔️175.4;+1.7lbs
      ~ It’s not real; It’s not real; It’s not real! 4 slices of thin crust supreme and a ton of Mich-ultras later. If I was in my right state of mine I would have thrown a Quest pizza in the oven but alas, I was far from that state
    • SW 03/16:☘️173.7;-0lbs
      ~ Didn’t stick to this one for this last round and it shows! Will try again for round 254. **NOTE** Drinking also makes me get hot in my sleep so not only does it add empty calories but it causes me to eat extra and sleep less.. May want to try to remember also.. not to make declarative statements the day before St. Patrick’s Day!
