@musicsax HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Are you trying to catch up to me? I will surge ahead again in July.

@Skyleen75 I love the reference to the legends Teenage Jeff and Midlife Jeff. But... is 66 still considered midlife? Let's say it is. By the way, I couldn't afford the grocery bill for teenage jeff these days! He was a vacuum.

66 is definitely mid life !!

@_JeffreyD_ when they started recommending Covid shots for the elderly, I looked up the definition of elderly. At that time it was 65. Well that ship sailed for me nine years ago and I don’t feel elderly.

All calories and carbs removed! 😁🤪

Wait until they turn 50! Ours were 53 and 51 in January. DH and I looked at each other and asked how can our kids be that old?

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

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

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

4/16 134.0 Finally dropped a bit and DH set up dinner date at Golden Corral 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I have a plan since we are going later so friends can get fantail shrimp. I will get salad and steak and see what good veggies they have. I can do this!

OY! This morning has been a mess. The neighbors are not able to take care of themselves and placed us in middle. He called my DH who was out buying plants, to find out how to get an ambulance because his wife “wasn’t making any sense.” Carl called me and I asked him if he had told Bill to call 911. I ended up calling 911 and waiting in the front yard for the ambulance. Bill had fallen about a week ago when he sat down and missed his motorized wheelchair. Carl had to help the wife pull him up.

APRIL 1st SW: 198.2 | EW: 000.0

Since starting ...

January 1st - April 1st, I've lost 17 pounds and a total of 20.8 inches from 11 areas. 🥳 Thrilled to see my hard work reversing prediabetes and years of physical damage. Getting leaner and stronger and chair dancing proud of myself about it!! 57 and hormonal, it's taken longer than expected and a much rougher road than my youth.

Reaching onederland (March 13th) meant the end of 10+ years and up to 80 pounds!! gained and relost too many times to count. Determined not to self-sabotage ... have to ask: now what? Weight was my focus so long, I need a new target!! If I should lose an additional 8% body fat to reach the "standard" for my age, height and sex ~ and up to 15% to reach excellent ~ that's @ least another 8-15 months of work before I can begin to relax and think maintenance.

I've been eating @ a 200-400 calorie deficit (90-95% of the time) and Intermittent Fasting 18-22 hrs (75-85%). It's worked well, so trying to take it up a notch by lowering carbs, changing eating window to earlier in the day, breaking fast differently, and continuing to look for new ways to increase step count and add more strength in April.

Hi y'all!
Hope all is well.

This temp consulting work gig is my 1st on-site job in 19 years!
Really hating the commute, stuck in horrible traffic.
(yes, woe is me).


Let's see if I can commit for all 10 days (slacker me).
I have 5weeks until the fundraising gala; would like to de-bloat a few pounds.

@musicsax Happiest of birthdays to you! I hope you had a fantastic day!

@deepwoodslady I will certainly be praying for a positive outcome from your trip to the Cancer Center. I hope all is well and you stay in remission. Hugs.

@_JeffreyD_ If 40 is the new 20, then definitely 60 is the new 40, which means several of us here are still in "midlife!" I picked out my Medicare Advantage Plan yesterday and meet with Social Security Administration Thursday to get all that finalized. Who'd have EVER thought this day would come! I don't feel like an OAP ( I don't remember what someone in this group said that really stands for, but in my mind, it's "Old A(donkey) Person". So I'm great with calling this "midlife!"

4/16 178.0 That was a pretty good drop since yesterday, so I won’t be surprised with a bounce tomorrow, if there is one. Had a great walk in the neighborhood last night. The weather has been picture perfect the last few days! Food has been on track now for quite some time. I’m craving protein at night recently but so far I am resisting once I’m done for the day. I’m happy with the macro levels I am currently achieving. We are moving Dad into Assisted Living next Wednesday, so I'm having trouble shutting my brain down at night. Only getting about 5 hours of sleep these days and that's after I get up and finally take a nerve pill. I know Assisted Living's the right thing to do, and he seems to be ok with it, but I just worry.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 257 (my 187th). So grateful @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round; to lose! To be consistent and lose something. I start this round a year older (hopefully wiser ?) Officially an OAP! How can that be I can’t possibly be that old – I feel much much younger 😊.
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.

If I hadn’t had that 2 day binge mid round then what could it have been ? Must have a “clean” round next, maybe being a year older will make me a year wiser?

SW RND 257 140.6
4/16 140.6 – (trend 141.2) a nice number to start my birthday, hoping to hold on to/improve it by being consistent this round. 9.43 miles walked, just less than 20% exercise calories eaten back.
4/17 140.6 – (trend 141.1) Thank you for the lovely birthday wishes, had a wonderful day. DH brought me a coffee in bed, got up to open my pressies & cards, then he went off to work. Relaxing manicure and went on to meet sisters for lunch, then a garden centre; bought plants! Kept under calories until DH surprised me with a birthday cake in the evening, only had small piece and weighed it, took me over by 122. 7.48 miles walked.

4/17: An unplanned evening at a testimonial event, food as per a country club. I stuck to salad, veggies and salmon; dodged the too sweet cake and sticky basmati rice. But I could feel my fingers swelling as I was eating. What's with all the sodium in restaurant food? It doesn't make it taste better...
Close friend/work colleague had a family emergency and asked me to step in for an old client- it was lovely to see them again. I worked on this project over 25 years ago and am now working on one for one of their children. Now, THAT seems impossible!

WOE & Health Journey
****************************

WOE since 7/2023: MAD: (Mostly Animal Diet) 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 leaner animal proteins with lower fat than Keto. I thought I was “KETOVORE” but I’ve been told I am “MAD”.

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 in 2015 …. Dairy? Hard cheese, HWC and butter - an occasional high protein Greek yogurt. Vegetables destroy my digestive system… I love vegetables, but when I splurge, I pay for it for several days… I do enjoy berries, lemons, limes. Avocados are my weakness. Enjoy a piece(s) of dark chocolate on occasion. Generally, I eat btw noon and 6 pm. (IF18/6). Alcohol? Used to be somewhat of a weekend 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 9th grade. 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 MANY different diets each decade!
1990 (Age 32) - Avg.130-140 lbs (my son was born 1988)
2000 (Age 42) -Avg 145 -160
Menopause - Age 50
2010 (Age 52) - HW 172 lbs 2014 (Age 56) 130lbs
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!

2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140lbs. 🎢🎢🎢 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.

I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my morning coffee.

Rnd 256 EW 185.0

4/16 183.8
4/17 184.8 expected a bounce since I had two big drop days. Especially since I worked late yesterday so DH made dinner, suffice to say it was very processed and very high in sodium.
Also a reminder that I definitely eat better, eat less and do not feel hungry if I graze all afternoon instead of eating dinner.
Tonight is trivia night- our team is famously ridiculous as well as always top placing. I confess I bring more of the ridiculous then the knowledge but my heckling skills are top notch!
It will be another late sodium filled meal- the bar does not serve salads!!!

And so it begins again. A fresh start for everyone.
I am very pleased with this morning’s scale reading. Last night I helped in the kitchen at church for an event. When I “filled” my plate afterward to sit and eat with the other helpers I erred on the side of excess. Still managed to stay under my budget thanks to exercise calories eaten back. I will do that within reason, but I try not to eat them all back due to possible errors in logging.

The true bump may come tomorrow, so I will be careful today.

This morning our local chamber of commerce has its annual “forecast breakfast.” All the taxing bodies will go to the podium and give an update on what’s happening at their end of the world. Village, School District, Library District (I am on the elected board), Park District, Police & Fire. It is always interesting. My former firm has done (or is doing) design work for all of them. The highlight is pumpkin pancakes. This should be my big meal of my day.

This new decade of pounds I am in has a mild inspirational effect. I know I am too close to the 220’s to get too happy because there WILL be a bump up. (pumpkin pancakes for example) But five days in a row under it is meaningful.

Striving for the next decade.

By the way, I know “decade” is the wrong word. Can’t think of anything better this morning. Any ideas?

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.
