June Goals: Having gotten as ow as 193 in both April and May, I'd like to drop below that in June.
MAY 1st SW: 197.3 | EW: 196.8
MAY Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat ❎❎❎
May 22: I had packed some shorts to change into after swim without trying them on. They were so tight last summer, I expected the fit to be better ~ but when I put them on ... wow. I was in front of the locker room mirrors and was like omg, that's you. How long has it been since you looked/felt like that? I was spinning around looking at myself for a good 2-3 minutes, y'all, lol ~ my New #1NSV
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 a long way from 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 -

She posted in the last round (May 30th) but said she was tied up with her parent's estate and was struggling to post to the group.@itladyee Hey Charissa, nice of you to reach out. My mom and my father's estate continues to dominate my life. Sadly, it is making me rather resentful, which is not who I want to be. Phone calls from private aids started at 8 am (they should be able to handle things), and I have two sisters, but I get the calls. I would be more ok with that, but then my mother respects their opinions while I am doing the work.
Again, I am not finding time to follow the group, which I miss. Fortunately, I am making sure I face the scale every day.6 -

Me too! I think she posted the first day and said she would participate… I’ve been looking out for her to no avail!

Thanks! I read it every day!
I realized that when I reached my goal weight… I had so much more of a challenge… When the personal trainer told me I was “skinny fat” I knew she was right! “Maintenance” just does not describe where I am right now… I’m 100% good with my weight. It’s daunting to build muscle/strength/balance in order to be prepared for “Chapter 3”. (OLD AGE! YIKES!!!) This is also an acknowledgment that “maintaining weight” is not enough for me… I NEED to get strong!@Chapter_3: Food is a natural gathering point, so my friends and I choose different places these days; there are a couple really great salad places in my area that have "bowls", summer rolls or other healthy options; most list calories and ingredients. Even when going out with my DP I look ahead at menus and plan my choices. I love food, I'm just learning to make it healthier.
non food: My BFF in AZ joined multiple quilting groups and that's how she made friends when she moved there. I've made friends at my gym, which doubles as social and physical:-) My daughter and I go for pedicures; we also walk together a couple times a week, as do my close friend and I a couple times a month.
Thank you, Julia! I probably should have been more clear with my predicament… I have two different circles of friends from high school (just shy of 50 years).!We get together about every six weeks as a group - timing is staggered… So about every 3 weeks or so I have a big girls night out… We go out to eat and drink. It would be safe to say that its somewhat gluttonous… I have had wonderful discipline over the past 11 months. I’m starting to dislike these gatherings… They make me uncomfortable, witnessing and being around such disregard for one’s health -especially at our age…. I am curious to suggest something new & different for these two different groups… I certainly don’t want to change the current visiting schedule, but I would like to enjoy their company (as a group)in a different environment doing something interesting and fun together - that does not involve food and drink. Or at least, food and drink not taking the centerpiece.
I have a small circle of tennis friends and also walk /lift either by myself or with hubby. I actually like to walk alone because it’s my reflection/ prayer time. I just don’t want to be around gluttony ANYMORE. (Of which I once participated with GRANDIOS enthusiasm!) And I am fading fast from these friendships that have lasted 50+ years. It’s a conundrum. I keep reading to “be prepared to give up friendships as you prioritize your health…” I’m just not prepared to lose these special friends.

@tiabirdie56 I’m right there with you on the bread carbs. Someone needs to knock our heads together! I ate a French dip for lunch today and ham and cheese on one slice of sourdough yesterday. Tomorrow we have a community ice cream social!!🤪🤐 I know it’s my emotions.5

Charissa, thank you. I think I remember that, now that you have repeated it. This has been a tough week for me and I can’t remember what day it is half of the time.
@reshii_devi Thank you for that quote.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 262 (my 192nd). So grateful @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round; to lose! I need 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.

All exercise calories+350 eaten back, tried to make sensible food choices at the wake, but the fresh strawberry cheesecake was too loudly shouting at me ! , pleased to see this number has stuck, need to stay vigilant today.

@Chapter_3 I had to “break-up” with my best friend of thirty years. She lives on champagne and cigarettes, it was fun when we were young. Now it’s just heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
Our relationship now is phone calls that I enjoy because I usually do chores or lift weights while she drinks and smokes.
I could never completely walk away- too much shared history but we rarely hang out in person. We talk several times a week.7 -

Thank you so much for letting me know I’m not alone struggling with these decisions. You found a solution. I’m definitely going to figure this one out somehow.
This is just flat out gorgeous! You are an angel… Seriously. A precious, precious angel!

✅🏋️♀️20 min/ day or 30 min 4x per week. RECORD DETAIL.
✅ 🙏📝 🧐60 min 5x /week (Pray, journal, and research)
✅🥩110g -130g of protein
✅🛏️💤 tracking sleep
NSVs/Journey Reflections…. 👇🏻
********************************
👇🏻Review since my first R231
1. ✅Avg. close to 10k steps per day for 8+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a “daily goal” because it’s now a daily healthy habit - 👏🏻🤩
2. ✅Healthy Habit: 🙆♀️ I stretch daily and that has greatly improved my attitude & confidence.
3. ✅HH: I play 🎾about 4-5x per week.
4. ✅HH: Z2 💕avg 60 min/day
5. ✅HH: zero to 10g of net carbs/ day
6. ✅Clean Ketovore 110-130g Protein
7. ✅HH Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM.
8. ✅💦80oz daily
9. ✅Alcohol limited to rare occasions.
10. 7 to 8 hours sleep per night is a goal. Sleep is inconsistent the last few rounds…
Tremendous progress since last July, but still “skinny-fat”. I want 🏋️♀️to become a healthy habit too. … 🏋️♀️20 min per day or 30 min 4x per week. Continue to journal📝 and to strive to ID unhelpful habits & replace with helpful ones.
Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.
In my dreams, I want to be 130lbs with a HARD body… 😎 But let’s face it, this 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, rotating 110g to 130g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable.
Let’s do R262 !!🙌🏻

SW RND 262 ⚖️129lbs
6/5 ⚖️129.0
✅🏋️♀️15min 🥩133g 🚶♀️13k📝 🛏️💤💦. ALL!
Not sure I like a whoosh at the beginning of a round… But I’ll take it. There’s just something about being under 130 that brightens ☀️the world around me. I sincerely believe the scale reflects a full DEEP eight hours sleep last night. My variation ⬆️⬇️ last few rounds was definitely due to lack of sleep - NOT food or activity level…
Does anyone know the science behind this phenomenon of SLEEP? What happens in your body?
Yesterday was 🥵HOT with the highest humidity so far this summer… and I walked 5 mi in it… Don’t think I’ll be doing that again - was 💯 wiped out the rest of the day. Visited with DGS and took a nap. Successful with 🏋️♀️!
Spent at least two hours studying macros and have decided to stay pretty much where I am - increasing proteins a little with moderate fat. Staying whole food with ultra low-carb because I simply feel better …
🍀Good luck 🍀 to everyone this round!
6/6 ⚖️129.0 - this stuck?
✅🏋️♀️15min 🥩125g 🚶♀️9.5k📝 🛏️💤💦 & 🎾… ALL!
Slept 8 hrs. 😲Feels so good I have to pinch myself! (I’ve started taking magnesium, which I think is helping with sleep). Also accomplished, all of my activity goals… A winning day!
Today will be same. My body really loves routine… Will give it to her again today.
NSV-Went to watch my 🎾team play a league match last night on a sweltering summer eve… Contemplated enjoying a beer, but then I thought, let’s see if u enjoy the eve with some ice cold water vs a beer? I did! I had a wonderful evening, enjoying a tasty water w /LMNT (electrolyte drink) 🙌🏻. I learned that I don’t have to go with my first impulse and can negotiate a better option… I still do this “thoughtful negotiation” quite often, and maybe it will be with me for a lifetime… but… I’m willing to persist/embrace this new norm. #HSF
6/7 ⚖️129.0
✅🥩137g 🚶♀️10k📝 🛏️💤💦.
🚫🏋️♀️
129lbs again… Three days in a row. 7 hrs sleep! My body fat percentage has slightly improved… I skipped 🏋️♀️ yesterday - rest. Wonderful walk. Keeping protein up. Prayer, reading, and reflection yesterday.
I am experiencing more and more, the triad of healthy mind, body and spirit. I honestly can’t ever remember this active, real congruence in my life. There was always at least one component off-kilter. Feeling blessed beyond measure.
Our “tough love” situation is slowly improving. Don’t want to get our hopes up, but I am allowing myself to be gently optimistic. There was a small situation yesterday that we could’ve caved, but I had time to think about it & remained steadfast.
NSV: Keeping my #HSF “routine” through emotional upheavals & stress the past several months, is a win that I simply cannot adequately describe… This group /challenge played a significant supportive role. Thank you! I must acknowledge that I am learning & processing real helpful habits. But I am also aware that I’m just a few decisions away from “lapse”.
I think the most important lesson that I have learned is to force myself to slow down, stay in the present, and truly process information before reacting. My impulsivity is diminishing. To go from “reaction” to choosing an action. It started with food choices, and now I’m experiencing positive results in other areas of my life. Staying in the present moment & mindfulness is hard work. Time is an underrated commodity.

Only 10 minutes of 🏋️♀️yesterday. I’ve been doing 🏋️♀️“snacks” in 10 minute snippets… Consistent in the morning, but not so much in the afternoon. I’ll definitely get it all done today.
DGS Birthday celebration is today. I’m looking forward to seeing his delight!
DH is cycling in N. Alabama. Making up for his cancelled trip to Arkansas. Eating for one is super easy!

@Chapter_3We go out to eat and drink. It would be safe to say that its somewhat gluttonous… I have had wonderful discipline over the past 11 months. I’m starting to dislike these gatherings… They make me uncomfortable, witnessing and being around such disregard for one’s health -especially at our age…. I am curious to suggest something new & different for these two different groups… I certainly don’t want to change the current visiting schedule, but I would like to enjoy their company (as a group)in a different environment doing something interesting and fun together - that does not involve food and drink. Or at least, food and drink not taking the centerpiece.
OK, Carolyn, NOW I get it! Yes- that's a real conundrum because you're like the "sober" person at the party. Not sure how you move the needle when it's long established group... maybe start with a single special "event" that sounds fun? Are they receptive to change?
I know it's really difficult- I get this in my large extended family where some of us are health conscious but many are not; as we get older the discrepancy in habits - and health- becomes ever more apparent. Gatherings are very food heavy- with heavy food! Actually, it was our family Christmas party this past Dec that was the last straw for me this time- I looked at all the food and said, what the hell am I doing???
That's when I joined this group!5 -

/sort of logged; exercised; 80 oz water/
I guess “sort of logged” is like being sort of pregnant.
Started this round with a woosh. Let’s see if I can hang on to it.
6/6: 218.6
/logged food; exercised; 80+ oz water/
I want to learn to love a “drop on the scale” more than I love a “snack on the tongue.” Very hard for me to practice delayed gratification when it comes to food. I do better in other areas of my life.
DGS (age 7) was with us a bit yesterday. He is letting DW give him some piano lessons, for now. And, we played a game of chess. He is about my speed. But I obliterated him. HA! Actually he shows a lot of patience along with his frustration.
6/7: 219.2
/logged; didn’t really exercise; 66 oz water./
I didn’t really exercise, but I was on-the-go all day.
I attended the second of four funerals in this two week period… first two were for good friends (unrelated) who died way too early and quickly from pancreatic cancer. Both are “in a better place now” as we like to say. They showed us both how to live and how to die. Inspiring. Third funeral today.
Speaking of food focused social events, tonight is our monthly get together with fellow former employees of an architectural firm. First Friday of the month. I call it an alumni association. We take turns picking the place and this month is my turn. Good opportunity to make a good choice (maybe no fries? Skimp on the bread? Drink mostly water? Enjoy conversation more than food?) I will be happy to hit on at least two of these.
6/4: 221.2
SW on day before this round.
6/8: 222.2
/No, yes, 66 oz water/
Todays gain is everything I ate yesterday plus the retained water due to salt fest. It is still in there. I did meet a couple goals last night, but the funeral meal at noon was the game changer.
Thanks to all for hugs.

Heaviest Weight Ever: 186.0
186 / 185 / 184 / 183 / 182 / 181 / 180
179 / 178 / 177 / 176 / 175 / 174 / 173 / 172 / 171 / 170 👉 169
Goal: Calorie Cycle for a weekly average between 1200 - 1500. Eat more vegetables and fruit. Drink 80oz water each day. Walk. Start building strength back using light weights.
June 4: 176.4
I have one goal this round - to hit 175.X! I have been 176.X way too long.
June 5 - 176.4
June 6 - 176.6 - I'm stuck at 176.x. Instead of saying I'll see a drop soon, and then don't, I went back to look realistcially at my calories. I calorie cycle but to be honest with myself, the cycling has been more on the high range and NOT an average of 1200 - 1500 (and I had a day somewhere in there of bingeing on pecans). Even though I'm not gaining (and very glad for that), I do believe I've been close to maintenance. I don't think I've realized that my maintenance number is a lot lower than it used to be. I'm older and because of health issues, I'm not as active. I'm going to get back to making sure I'm including the lower range, too. I'm going to go out on a limb
and say that I WILL see 175.x this round because I'm going to adjust what I'm doing!! 
June 7 - 175.2 - My calories have crept up each day and yesterday I got back to including lower ranges in my calorie cycling (1076 calories). It did the trick. We'll see if it sticks tomorrow, but for today, I'm thrilled I did not see 176.x again!
June 8 - 175.0 - I believe I'm officially over the 176.x groundhog days. Thank goodness!

6/6-174-Had 1/2 of a sourdough roll all other food was on track. Rode the horse and did housework. The evening before I did yard work until it got dark. It’s still 90 degrees here after dinner…it’s bearable but you sweat like crazy.
6/7-173-Good choices and no alcohol but lots of water and iced tea. Worked on the drip and it was 100 degrees, so, I brought it all inside and would assemble it inside and go out and install it. That made it bearable. Today won’t be as hot. Garden and horse in the morning.
6/8-173-Finished the worst part of my drip project then turned it on to water.Many hours later, after I was showered and sitting in bed and winding down……. I realized I never manually turned it off.🤦♀️
DH was asleep on the couch as I tiptoed outside to find my precious pollinator garden floating at 11:30 p.m. Oh well, everything should survive the heat!
Off to my dad’s house to see my sister and cousin to go over boxes of old family photos. Made a loaf of (evil) garlic herb bread to take, that I just want to taste. Dad eats keto and BBQ’s great and the food is always good.5 -

~ We were in walking distance of local bars and food. My plan was to consciously walk a lot and I did do that, but not because I got up and walked the beach as I planned but because we HAD to walk to do anything and avoid beach traffic. Last round I wrote that I was nervous I wouldn’t come back here but I definitely did. **small win for me**I’m nervous that I won’t come back here

Phooey.

I’ve decided to follow the Mayo Clinic diet, starting yesterday. It is science based with an emphasis on fresh veggies, whole grains, healthy fats, not much meat, and exercise, which is essentially what worked for me when I lost 40# in 2015-16. It’s also an approach that won’t cause havoc with the chef, aka DH. 😊 I finally, finally, finally feel motivated.

So far, so good. I wanted to snack last night, but nibbled 1/3 cup of blueberries and that satisfied the urge.
6/08 - 197
Stayed on track yesterday calorie wise, but we ordered out for late lunch/early dinner. DH wanted pasta, so I got just meatballs, no sauce. Lots of sodium, I think. Anyway, I’m sticking to the plan, so all good.
