Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 259

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!
5/13 - 176.6 - Absolutely beautiful morning here. Still blackflies keeping me from walking outside. I might go to the beach and walk to beat the tourist that will be here in another month. Have a great Monday!
5/14
5/15
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

5/13: Late Mother's Day dinner at a favorite restaurant right on the beach- wonderful evening! I don't want to feel badly about such a wonderful dinner when I'm right where I want to be. I think part of my past "scale avoidance" was because of fun evenings like this, so my new tactic will be to not weigh the morning after a really nice evening out and give my body 24 hrs to settle back down.
@judefit1 Great minds think alike? This is exactly what I have began doing. It annoys me sometimes to see so many DNW's in one of my rounds, but it's not always every round so I'm okay with it. My physical health is so important but my mental and emotional health matter too. They definitely play into my diet success so I have made it part of my plan. I simply cannot stand to see the scale jump so high overnight, even though I know in the back of my mind that its temporary. So, I know that not weighing one day here or one day there is not going to hurt anything. In fact, some of the challenges I am involved in only weigh in once per week and one of them is only once per month, so it's okay. Anyway, I just wanted to chime in to say you are not alone. There are many of us!

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!
5/10 - 196.8
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!
5/13 - 196.6
I went off the rails last night with triscuits and cheddar, so some of this is salt. Wasn’t too bad a lapse, and I have no regrets. 😊

@SheilaBoneham Pasta or pizza - same result for me. I just TRY to avoid wheat.
@quiltingjaine When we have pasta at home, we use red lentil or black bean pasta, but restaurants…. I had planned to get something without pasta, but the primavera was singing to me. 😊
@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?
Pretty much any grocery store. We shop mostly at Meijer and Kroger and both carry them. We also get chickpea pasta, which I didn’t mention. I’m actually not crazy about the black bean pasta—it falls apart easily—but I like the other two, esp the red lentil.

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!
05/13 -DNW- (Trend weightDNW)What a whirlwind weekend this has been with my birthday on Friday and Mother’s Day on Sunday and hardly a breath in-between. I’ll weigh in tomorrow or the next day when I feel it will be the most accurate. The Lake was beautiful yesterday and my DGS had such a good time making sand pies and chasing the seagulls. Dinner was too good and too much but its always nice to be celebrated.
This is me shortly before leaving for the shoreline.
I would do Anything for this little one!

3. Drink water
4. Stay positive
5. Remember, the tortoise wins the race
5/6 205.4 Weight has been up due to a lot of eating out and just poor choices. Too much emotional and stress eating. Traveled to see my mom and then came home to a busy weekend. Oh well, it’s a new day.
5/7 206.2
5/8 206 Still making some bad choices. Today has started out better.
5/9 206 Well at least it stayed the same and didn’t go up. I didn’t drink very much water, low steps and over calorie goal. It’s amazing that I didn’t gain.
5//10 206.2 Yesterday was a lazy day. I stay up too late each night and it finally caught up with me. I did go to bed a little earlier last night but I could still do a bit better.
5/11 206.2 Sigh
5/12
5/13 207 Gotta get a grip, time is running out for this round. I need to at least break even with RSW.

05/13 - 147.3 - A nice, unexpected drop to start my day. Likely due to the very filling "Linner" (lunch/dinner) we had with Fam for Mothers Day (Happy belated Mothers day to all you wonderful Mamas!) Vermicelli bowl and spring rolls. It was very filling but I felt good - the meal was overall very healthy with lots of vegetables. I was short on protein so I had a protein shake around when we would normally have dinner but that's all I could manage to squeeze in my belly and that likely contributed. A heavy leg day at the gym so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bump up due to DOMS in the next couple days. I'd like to see 147.x to end the round, but I'm not holding my breath. No changes to macros this week but Coach added on a fiber goal.

Previous Day's Comments05/06 - I went over my macros the last 2 days. Saturday was due to going out to eat and there being no friendly/balanced options at all (besides skipping the meal altogether). Yesterday was simply me being bored and not thinking about logging until AFTER I ate. Oops. Back on track today due to having routine back. We meal prepped lunch and dinner for the week so I have those logged already, along with my breakfast. I'm a bit short right now for protein and carbs but I have room for one more snack. I'm over 9g on fat already (breakfast, lunch, dinner) but I didn't look at where I was with lunch/dinner prep before making and eating breakfast. Oops! Luckily my Coach has me staying within 10g of goal so as long as I don't have more fat for my snack, I'll be good. I'm sore today still from Friday's workout. Despite that, I increased my hack squat weight. I was a rough workout, but I'm super proud of how hard I was able to push, even through the DOMS. Hopefully I can actually be around this whole round before I have to travel again
05/07 - My macros changed when my Coach reviewed my weekly check-in so I had to adjust my meals a bit to meet those new ones. I was a bit over on fat still but got within the +/-10g buffer of carb and protein goal. I've planned out my meals for today and I'm within the buffer for all 3 macros! I also got in a solid workout (back, bicep, and shoulders - pull) so I'm feeling confident about moving forward with this new setup. Also, walk goal (walk 10 min) has been removed but I'll try to maintain a daily walk with the dogs (or walking pad if weather interrupts), water goal is upped to 100+oz a day, and step goal increased from 8-9k to 9-10k now. We're making things happen!
05/08 - DNP
05/09 - Big bloat drop (from DOMS). Yesterday work hit hard early so I didn't get much of a chance to check in. The dogs cannot go out back due to our septic being fixed so they needed more frequent walks which I prioritized over a check in. Doing well otherwise! I've hit my macros yesterday and my plan (so long as I stick to it, no reason not to!) today will be also within goal. Gym has been good and aiming to get my butt out of bed tomorrow for another workout. Need to catch up on posts which I'll work on between meetings and tasks.
05/10 - I've managed to come back to the 147.x range after a 2 round detour back upwards. This is fine, my body is learning and adjusting. I've pre-logged to my best ability based on my best guess for dinner which we've tentatively planned going out for. We are hoping the weather holds to allow us to go kayak fishing tomorrow. The guys working the septic ended up hitting the power line to the shop (the survey guy missed it when he came out to mark non-dig areas) so we can't work on the truck as we planned since we can't use any of our tools or have light to work (or AC because it's been very hot and humid lately). It is scheduled to be fixed Monday but we had planned to spend the weekend working on the truck so now we're trying to find cheap/free things to keep us busy. Sunday is supposed to be stormy. I'll be doing my grocery shopping and meal-prepping for the week. I have Sunday planned but need to have a tentative plan for Saturday based on what I already have available to make up a meal with. Weekends are always challenging as BF is spontaneous so we'll plan to make dinner and end up eating out instead. The goal is to be mindful and don't let perfectionism or all-or-nothing thinking stress me out.

@SheilaBoneham Pasta or pizza - same result for me. I just TRY to avoid wheat.
@quiltingjaine When we have pasta at home, we use red lentil or black bean pasta, but restaurants…. I had planned to get something without pasta, but the primavera was singing to me. 😊
@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?
Pretty much any grocery store. We shop mostly at Meijer and Kroger and both carry them. We also get chickpea pasta, which I didn’t mention. I’m actually not crazy about the black bean pasta—it falls apart easily—but I like the other two, esp the red lentil.
@sheilaboneham - Thanks! We've just tryed the standard gluten free pasta which is corn and rice flour. Chickpea and red lentil sounds so much healthier. I'll pick some up next time I shop. I also look forward to fresh zucchini to make zucchini noodles in place of pasta - so good!4 -
🎷 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.

SW ROUND 259
5/6 DNW – travel back home this afternoon. 14.41 miles walked yesterday to Chatsworth House and Estate, glorious weather, brilliant day. Less than 25% exercise calories eaten back. Been thinking about the missive I wrote yesterday about DH, I really need to take motivation & inspiration from him, going to really make this round count.
5/7 139.6 – (trend 140.8) woohoo!! Really pleased with this number, now to remain under 140 & even improve on it. Got out just after 8 yesterday for a walk before we headed home, 9.75 miles walked, 12% exercise calories eaten back.
5/8 139.6 – (trend 140.6) – 9.09 miles walked, 31% exercise calories eaten back.

@SheilaBoneham Pasta or pizza - same result for me. I just TRY to avoid wheat.
@quiltingjaine When we have pasta at home, we use red lentil or black bean pasta, but restaurants…. I had planned to get something without pasta, but the primavera was singing to me. 😊
@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?
Pretty much any grocery store. We shop mostly at Meijer and Kroger and both carry them. We also get chickpea pasta, which I didn’t mention. I’m actually not crazy about the black bean pasta—it falls apart easily—but I like the other two, esp the red lentil.
I'm not a great fan of chickpea pasta, I find it all tends to stick together and look a bit of a mush. It's ok if the pasta is completely covered in veggies & sauce. I've bought green pea pod pasta this week to try.2 -

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.6 -

🎷 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.

SW ROUND 259
5/6 DNW – travel back home this afternoon. 14.41 miles walked yesterday to Chatsworth House and Estate, glorious weather, brilliant day. Less than 25% exercise calories eaten back. Been thinking about the missive I wrote yesterday about DH, I really need to take motivation & inspiration from him, going to really make this round count.
5/7 139.6 – (trend 140.8) woohoo!! Really pleased with this number, now to remain under 140 & even improve on it. Got out just after 8 yesterday for a walk before we headed home, 9.75 miles walked, 12% exercise calories eaten back.
5/8 139.6 – (trend 140.6) – 9.09 miles walked, 31% exercise calories eaten back.
5/9 139.2 - (trend 140.5) 11.56 miles walked, less than 20% exercise calories eaten back.
5/10 140.6 – (trend 140.5) no structured walking as childminding little DGS.
5/11 DNW - travelled to Melton Mowbrey for their 40's weekend. 8.87 miles walked, + 200 calories eaten .
5/12. DNW - 10.84 miles walked, less than 60% exercise calories eaten back. The 40's event was brilliant, coming back next year and we are both going to dress in clothes of the period. No Aurora last night, it was too cloudy 😔, we did stay up too 😕.
5/13 141 – (trend 140.4) 8.37 miles walked, all exercise calories bar 60 eaten back.

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.
5/13 175.2 Happy Mother’s Day! Lots of playing with the grandkids and more carbs than usual. Grandkids may be the best part of life, EVER!

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 .
5/11: 223.6
/logged; exercised; 90 oz water/
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. 😊
5/12: 220.8
/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.
5/13: 221.6
/no logging; no exercise; 66 oz water/
And lots of mother’s day mouth mischief. Other than that, it was a great day honoring the mothers in my life. My mom, my wife, and my daughter-in-law. Such a beautiful spring day.
5/5: 223.8
SW on day before this round.
5/14: 221.2
/logged; exercised; 70 oz water/
Yesterday was a day of running errands. It was our day to take DGS to and from school; some window washing; some bill paying for my parents; some gardening help for DW (she is the gardener, I am the brute force sometimes needed); Doing group exercise class with DW; Watching my DGS play baseball (so to speak)
I actually love being retired and on to the next thing…

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!!

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.

I guess when you must lay around the house to nurse a groin injury & drink lots of water - you lose 1.2 pounds… Make sense? Still injured today… The blues have crept in… However, I am journaling, reading & listening to Norman.
The “Tough-love” situation culminated Sunday. Our world will either turn upside-down or get better… not over yet… We will know the impact/influence/ direction in the coming weeks. I’m still reeling from it- but I’m comforted that I was able to stay on plan (except for movement). No eating/drinking binges… but rumination and movement paralysis was ever-present ….
I do recognize huge progress in my health journey but can’t celebrate or feel joy … Also, my injury happened Saturday and got worse Sunday, so maybe my body was revolting… ? Stress / tension build up? Will attempt walking today… & gentle upper body🏋️♀️. Must keep moving forward. Thanking God & Norman & my DH throughout. DH has been wonderfully supportive.

Now that I will no longer be traveling this round, plan is to meet all my goals with daily exercise. I will be going to a race on Saturday now and we'll be away most of the day. I'll probably take a break from tracking that day5/6 167.5 Starting out the round with a loss. Yayy! Without going into too much detail, I think what has helped me the past several days is I've actually been able to go to the bathroom like normal. The only thing that I have changed is I've been eating watermelon for a snack. A ripe watermelon is my absolute favorite. I think it's helping my body get rid of some stuff it's been holding on to lol.5/11 167.3
5/7 166.9 Another good day yesterday. We went out to eat last night and I had a bigger dinner than I've had in a while but kept it pretty healthy.
5/8 166.9 I'm finding that most of the time now I'm not hungry for the dessert I have planned out for the evening. I know I've mentioned this before, but it is nice to not be hungry all the time! Oh and my travel plans for the weekend changed so I'll no longer be going to Kentucky. I was nervous about it because I knew there would be lots of going out to eat. Now Im upset I can't be there for my kids. Thankfully we made arrangements for them to travel with the school/team so they can still compete.
5/9 166.9 Weighed an hr early this morning. We had some pretty bad storms so I didn't get much sleep. My teenagers left for their archery trip. Praying for safe travels.
5//10 167.3 Heavy dinner last night with fried squash and mashed potatoes. Was amazing though lol. Still kept my calories low.
5/12 168.0 Race day yesterday with my husband and youngest boy. Had a lot of fun but there were sugary drinks, pizza and fries. Lot of carbs, sugar and over on calories 😳. Light eating day today and lots of water.
5/13 167.0 Light day yesterday and got an afternoon walk in. I was looking at pictures from me from the race, my husband took one of my son and me and then we had someone take a family photo. I can say I can finally see the loss 😃.
5/14 166.2 Good day yesterday, and feeling good this morning! 1 week away from the kids being out of school and our beach trip. I'm so looking forward to it.

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.9
