5/12: Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms out there! Today will be relatively quiet, and I really really want it that way after a couple stressful weeks! Rainy and chilly here (again), so my plan is a yoga class, indoor bike ride and maybe go buy some perennials for my backyard. We're avoiding the "brunch crunch" and going out to dinner tonight at a lovely restaurant right on the ocean- another place we won't go in another month when the summer crowd returns!

R259 Commitments:

Let’s Go! 💪🏻🙌🏻⚡️

Why 👆🏻these goals THIS round?
NSVs/Journey Reflections…. 👇🏻
********************************

NSVs- New Habits since my first Round…. R 231

1. ✅Looking over my MFP history I’ve avg close to 10k steps per day for 8+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a “daily goal” because it’s now a healthy habit - 👏🏻🤩
2. ✅Another NSV is I now 🙆‍♀️ stretch daily and that has improved my attitude & confidence immensely!
3. ✅I play 🎾about 4-5x per week & will continue.
4. ✅Z2 💕avg 60 min/day
5. ✅zero to 10g of net carbs per day suits me.
6. ✅Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window is noon to 6 PM.
7. ✅💦80oz daily

HOWEVER: My nemesis is inconsistent 🏋️‍♀️so that is my focus this round. Im still “skinny-fat”. I want 🏋️‍♀️to become a natural habit too! … NSV! 🏋️‍♀️20 min per day or 30 min 4x per week. I need to journal📝 and to continue to strive to id unhelpful habits and replace with helpful ones.

Past two months dealing with daily emotional upheaval. This month is pivotal. TBH, It’s wearing me down. Horrible sleep and intermittent IBS that thankfully has subsided somewhat. Perhaps I should be pleased with a holding pattern but I don’t want to give up. I WONT GIVE UP.

In my dreams, I want to be 130 lbs with a HARD body… 😎 But let’s face it, this goal could be unattainable and/or unsustainable, but I’ll give it my best … It’s a 🥕! I don’t know how long it will take. Also, consuming 110g to 120g of protein per day is not negotiable.

So let’s make R259 MATTER!!

🚫🏋️‍♀️ I haven’t shared that our A/C went out Sunday morn and we’re in our first heat wave. The house was a sweatbox Monday & Tuesday. Finally fixed 6Pm last night. Had to be here for HVAC crew… Heat finally got to me - wiped out. The AC was fixed 6pm last night and I’m ready to pump again today!

Thank goodness I walked six miles super early before the ever-present emotional issue pressed away the majority of my day - robbing tons of mental and emotional energy. Five hours disappeared. No excuses, the day just got away from me, hence 🚫🏋️‍♀️. I only mention this because stress impacts our choices & health… I just couldn’t function well… I can tell my body is holding on to stuff. It’s not flowing. I’m super puffy. Crazy reaction to stress. My eating & 💦 was good yesterday. I slept OK last night because I took an ibuprofen p.m.…

I realize now first-hand that one never truly knows what someone is going through behind the scenes… Tough love is truly tough. I want to make good choices throughout this time... Today, I’ll fake it till I make it… through God’s love, grace and mercy.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 259 (my 189th). So grateful @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round; to lose! To be consistent and lose something; to get back into the 130s, should be able to break that 140 barrier now! Strive to have a feeding frenzy free round😊. Good luck everyone for success.

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.

5/6 176.4 Upping the calories by eating more protein seems to be working pretty well so far. Down 15 lbs. since I started on March 2.
5/7 176.4 Just lots of housework and lots of rain outside. A little short on my protein goal.
5/8 176.2 Got in a nice walk in the neighborhood after dinner.
5/9 DNW Camping but good bit of walking in the campground
5//10 DNW Lots of walking in the campground.
5/11 DNW Lot of walking in the campground but it rained at dusk, so didn’t get to see the Northern lights. Will try again tomorrow night at home.
5/12 174.4 Sure did hate that the Northern lights didn’t appear last night. It was clear skies all around, and we had found the perfect location, but they didn’t materialize.

@quiltingjaine that is just mean of MFP isn't it. You try to log on to get control of your life and they talk about cookies.

Just barely made the calorie budget but managed to drop a few ounces. I grilled pork chops for the fam yesterday and I have to say they were a masterpiece. I didn’t just look at them.

5/7: 223.6
/logged; exercised; 66 oz water/
A little disappointing for as much exercise as I did yesterday. Group fitness class (I was a good student) and lawn mowing. Food was on the salty side and bumping it’s head on breaking above the budget though.

5/8: 223.8
/logged; exercised; 66 oz water/
Golfing today. I will be using some different from the usual muscles. I will avoid injury by not trying to literally kill the ball. Easier said than done.

5/9: 222.2
/logged; exercised; 66 oz water/
I should have had a bottle of water with me on the golf course. Late lunch after golf was good enough for lunch and supper. The good news is I ordered the coleslaw instead of french fries. The bad news is I ordered a pork tenderloin sandwich. It was one of the good ones; freshly made, not frozen; not pounded out paper thin. Enough with the food fantasy…

Going to try to capitalize today on this minor bump downward.

I see many of us have the telltale DNA marker of the double slash between the 5 and the 10. We are copy//paste sons and daughters of quiltingjaine .

Hoping to get out and fish with my DS and DGS today. I don’t care if I catch a thing but my 7 year old DGS really needs to. 😊

/logged; exercised; 80 oz water/
DGS didn’t catch anything, but he had the most fun fishing I have witnessed from him so far. He actually seemed to embrace the adage “ they don’t call it catching; they call it fishing.”
Last night was crystal clear in Illinois, but no northern lights when I looked.

Round 259
May 6 - 15, 2024




5/11 – 127.0 Tracked well and met my numbers, even if at the higher end. Today is going to be a challenge. Going to a restaurant using a gift card (somewhere I would not usually go to as calories are consistently pretty high – blooming onion ring a bell?) going to try and pre-track now, and see what I can put together.

@SModa61 It should be okay if you watch the free, warm, fresh from oven bread (and butter).

@deepwoodslady OMG, too funny. I am just putting in today's post (the day after) and yes, the bread ended up being an overage decision I made. That and splitting a Thunder Down under, which I pointed out to our waiter is the name of a group of male strippers in Las Vegas. He did not know and found it hilarious. BTW, on the bread, the butter is the best part. I think they add extra salt to their butter. It is VERY compelling.

Round 259
May 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 two grandsons. 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

5/6 – 127.6 Uptick does not reflect yesterday. Calories were thoroughly tracked and on target

5/7 – 129.2

5/8 – DNW

5/9 – 128.8

5/10 – 126.6 As you can see, some bad behavior and avoidance crept in.

5/11 – 127.0 Tracked well and met my numbers, even if at the higher end. Today is going to be a challenge. Going to a restaurant using a gift card (somewhere I would not usually go to as calories are consistently pretty high – blooming onion ring a bell?) going to try and pre-track now, and see what I can put together.

5/12 – 127.6 Yes, I ate over my calories, BUT every bite was tracked. Followed my planning for the most part, and made a conscious decision for the overages. Today will have its own challenges as well (brunch at SIL’s and then bringing coffee and cookies to mom in the afternoon). I should be able to handle well as public buffets are not my issue (closet binger) and the cookies will be from Whole Foods with calories and barcode for tracking. I really need to start back into daily exercise. Something to work on this week.

MAY 1st SW: 197.3 | EW: 000.0

Since starting January 1st ...

MAY Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat

JAN 1st WAIST 36.9 ~ HIPS 47.0 ~ BF 40.6% ~ BMI 31.5
FEB 1st WAIST 35.1 ~ HIPS 45.8 ~ BF 38.5% ~ BMI 30.1
MAR 1st WAIST 35.1 ~ HIPS 45.0 ~ BF 37.5% ~ BMI 29.5
APR 1st WAIST 33.5 ~ HIPS 43.0 ~ BF 37.3% ~ BMI 29.4
MAY 1st WAIST 34.0 ~ HIPS 43.0 ~ BF 37.5% ~ BMI 29.5

May 4: 10 of the 20 inches lost was off my belly! No pics, no proof, lol ~ I love/hate taking photos because they've become one of my best tools. You can't lie and you can't hide. Putting myself on blast 1) creates incentive to increase effort and 2) highlights new areas to focus on. Still have a looooooooonnnng way before reaching my ultimate goals, but its nice to see muscle memory is real! At a size 15, I haven't been this small in more than 10 years.




APRIL 1st SW: 198.2 | EW: 197.8
Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat ❎❎❎
Lost less than a pound, 1.25 inches combined on arms and legs | regained 0.2% body fat and 1/2 inch back on my belly. Starting dietary 200-400 calorie deficit and Intermittent Fasting 18-24 hrs. Breaking fast differently, including more protein, and continuing to look for new ways to increase step count and add more strength in May.

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. Yo-yoing is the main reason for so much body fat!!! Determined not to continue to self-sabotage ... 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% more to reach excellent ~ that's @ least another 8-15 months of work before I can begin to relax and think maintenance.

Day. Weight. Comments.

5/06 - 196.2
Good start to the round. Yesterday I stayed within calories, hit my macro goals, and didn’t snack. Yay! Having my usual brunch out with a friend but I have a plan in place and will keep my calories, fat, and sugar within bounds while she enjoys her huge combo breakfast. 😊

5/07 - 195.8
Another good day—good me! I had a nice healthy brunch yesterday, and DH made a fabulous chicken stir fry for dinner—lots of lovely veggies! This new start I feel ready (finally) and confident about getting some weight off.

5/08 - 195.6
I stuck to the plan yesterday but for one cookie, but just one, which I nibbled slowly and enjoyed. I couldn’t sleep last night due to congestion and phlegm—>coughing. I finally took an antihistamine around 3 but I was still awake at 4. I did sleep a few hours, got up about 8:30. I see an afternoon nap in my future. 😳

5/09 - 195.8
Rainy day today. DH wants to go out for late lunch to our favorite Italian restaurant, so I’m perusing the menu for the friendliest dish. Probably chicken piccata without the pasta. And, I remind myself, I don’t have to clean my plate!

Ah, pasta—and I didn’t even eat that much. Always makes me retain water. Tomorrow….

5/11 - 196.2
The rain has finally stopped for a while, so I’m off to pull weeds and put down landscape fabric, then mulch. That’s exercise, right?

5/12 - 196.2
Have a beautiful Sunday, everyone!

Does anyone else have to “Manage Your Cookies” every time they get on MFP? I save and exit but still have this annoying message.

@quiltingjaine that is just mean of MFP isn't it. You try to log on to get control of your life and they talk about cookies.

@_JeffreyD_ Thanks for the morning chuckle with my coffee!

Hi, I'm Charissa, back for another round. I will keep coming back and I will get this thing right, sooner or later. Hopefully sooner!

5/10 216.2 today's weight filed under "things I don't understand". Yesterday was quite a bit over calories. I took my husband for a medical appointment. He wanted breakfast afterwards... I didn't do terribly at breakfast but I worked the remainder of the day at home. Weather was gloomy and I just kept eating...wasn't hungry....cashews, cookies, protein stick, chicken bites, chocolate. It's like my mouth just needed something to do. I guess it will all show up tomorrow. 💧🚶🏽
5/11 216.8 🍎✅💧🚶🏽I'll take it. I did have a couple of cocktails last night but still within calorie range. Dinner out tonight so that will be challenging.
5/12 DNW Dinner was awesome (there was bread, and where there's bread, there's butter!) and I'm sure the scale went up but it was worth it!🙂 ✅💧🚶🏽

Tomorrow will be out in celebration of Mother’s Day so I will have to watch what I am doing today. I have invited my foodie daughter over for dinner so at least I have control of what’s in my recipes! Thank you all so much for all the birthday wishes. I felt very hugged, loved and celebrated! What wonderful gifts to have!

05/12 -185.4- (Trend weight185.4) We are driving out to a restaurant on Lake Huron today which is a bit of a drive. The water should be lovely because of our beautiful blue skies today and the Mother’s Day Buffet will be delish. I expect the scale will go up tomorrow but I can handle it. I’m going to wear sandals that I can remove and walk along the water’s edge. I have a house full of fresh flowers thanks to the kids. I feel so grateful and appreciated! Happy Mother’s Day everyone!

Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this going!

Heaviest Weight Ever: 186.0
186 / 185 / 184 / 183 / 182 / 181 / 180
179 / 178 / 177 / 176 / 175 / 174 / 173 / 172 / 171 / 170 👉 169

Goal: Eat more vegetables and fruit. Drink 80oz water each day. Walk. Start building strength back using light weights.

5/06 - 177.6 - I hope to be 175.X at the end of this round.
5/07 - 178.0
5/08 - 177.6 - Okay, enough with the 177/178 number. I need that reset and motivational scale drop that gets you thru the next days. Maybe tomorrow???
5/09 - 177.0 - So I didn't get out of the 177.x range but happy with this drop. NSV - my pants are a wee bit looser (I've been watching too much Shetland on Britbox ), and my complexion is looking better due to drinking more water and exercising. YAY!
Adding to my post - I forgot, another NSV is I was this close to making an apple nobby cake yesterday as I lied to myself that I would be able to handle it and only eat one piece. Ha! I've lied to myself too many times and maybe, just maybe, I'm finally being able to make myself stop and know it just isn't true. I cannot handle it being in the house - period!! And sugar makes me feel like sh#^ so I'm really glad today that I didn't.
5/10 - 176.8 - Hopefully 177.X is gone for good. I've officially lost 5 pounds since I came back to this forum. Some of it was water weight in the beginning. Onward to my next 5 pounds!
5/11 - DNW

5/12 - 176.6 - Happy Mother's Day!

@SheilaBoneham - I have to admit, I've never heard of red lentil or black bean pasta. We've been experimenting with no-wheat options when baking, with pasta, etc. Where do you buy your red lentil or black bean pasta?

@_JeffreyD_ It’s downright rude of them to present cookies first thing! At least the other cookies I would be able to dump them in the trash!

Well my informal survey results don’t reveal much. At first I thought app users were getting the preference thing but not browser users but it’s a mixed result. It is annoying and along with that, TWC changed their app so I have to figure out how to get the information that used to just pop up. I’m ready to resign from the world. It 74 I do not embrace all of this technology.

On top of that, I have forgotten about the Northern Lights and gone to bed at a reasonable hour. Maybe tonight? Can they overpower the lights of Las Vegas?

@musicsax thank you for those beautiful pictures!

I don't have too many more days for this round, so I don't have much that I can aim for necessarily. What I am going to focus on between now and the next round is planning meals, making sure I stick within my calories for the day, and drinking water more rather than the sugar-free pop that I am consuming way too much of. I'm also going to try and find my old fitbit so I can be pushed to move around a little more- even if it's just by an extra few hundred steps and work my way up!

I would love to be around 385lb by the end of the month. But I am not going to focus too much on the number on the scale.

Hi @yodaloo88 About 7 years ago, I was drinking tons of diet-coke (and adding lemon to it). And, hand-in-hand with the sweet diet coke, I ate bags of salty, greasy chips. I didn't eat any sugar, just the diet coke. I stopped cold turkey because of stomach surgery 7 years ago. Once I stopped, I could not believe how many of my cravings stopped. I don't know if it's the caffiene, the sugar substitute, habit, or what, but I swear it's addictive. I just had to have it. It's great that you're concentrating on replacing it with water. Good luck!!
