6/15 215.4
6/16 215.6 I’m not happy with this. I know my activity wasn’t as high the last couple of days and I haven’t been drinking water like I should. I’m struggling to believe that small changes like water intake can have such an effect on weight. I’m going to be better about my water and just keep at it. Trying hard not to let the weight gain get me down. I know it’s not a lot, but it feels like when I get excited that I’m doing the right thing to lose weight, the scale goes back up. Time to push past the negative thoughts and keep working. It’s a lifestyle change, which means there will be fluctuations.
6/17 211.4 I know this is 100% water weight, but I’m going to enjoy it for now. I expect the number to fluctuate some more, but if this is the push I need to reach my round goal, I’ll take it.
6/18 214 A little more fluctuation than I’d hoped for, but I ate a lot yesterday and I ate dinner late, so all in all I’m good.
6/19 212.2
6/20 211.6 Happy birthday to me!! Went out yesterday to celebrate my birthday (early) and enjoyed spending time with family. Celebrating a NSV that I enjoyed going out and managed to lose a few more ounces.
6/21 211.8 I’m going to have to kick it up a notch to hit 209 in 3 days. Even if it’s only one day, I’d be happy.

Crazy fluctuations in weight this round shows me that there are so many variables that influence daily measurements. It’s the trend that matters, Species. We are still under heat advisory so getting workouts done as early as possible today - no AC and I need to get outside or I go nuts.

Thank you @quiltingjaine for another round.
@jspecies11
You communicated the important point “fluctuations” much more succinctly than I did. Many variables. Trends are key.

06/21 -DNW- (Trend weightDNW) No weigh Friday. Did well yesterday allowing extra calories for my snack fest I’ve been on lately so I fell within all my limits. I’m feeling bloated though due to no TMI. I woke up a little early before the one scheduled reno worker arrived so I could do a 1 mile Leslie Sansone walk on Youtube. I feel pretty good I got back moving again. Perhaps something else tonight. We’ll see. After all, my DGS really wears me out going up & down the steep steps of my house so many times when I babysit! Cooler today. Felt good.
06/22 -185.8- (Trend weight185.1)I’m still struggling with the night snacks even though they have been “approved” and healthy. Quantity matters. I truly think it is 100% habit or even boredom. My interesting book and my limited series shows are just not enough. I’m going to put in some research today and deep dive into the matter.

I hope everyone is staying cool
I have a quick question. Does anyone know the Date of Round 64? Any information would be wonderful. or any of the Rounds between 65-70?
I tried the search engine and the farthest it want back was some 80s, 90s, and forward.
Thanks in advance for your help. Stay cool!
@IsMollyReallyHungry, Molly MFP has really messed things up. I had EVERY JGTD Round bookmarked from when I started. They are a jumbled mess now and some are missing, but if you want to read through Round 64-70 I will post the links. I'll post them this evening.
It's very enlightening to go back that far and read the posts, your own and others.4 -
@tiabirdie56
I learned about “Fascia” last fall. My fascia is “tight” in hips & shoulders. (Also had IT band issues years ago). Someone recommended Myofascial Release Therapy…. I did three sessions… I’m continuing these stretches @ home as best as I can. I felt like a NEW WOMAN after each session. I thought it was expensive but boy, made a huge difference. I’m so sorry you’re going through this… I hope you get relief soon!!!
@Chapter_3, oh I'm so sorry YOU have had to go through this! I've never had the myofascial release therapy, but I did do those exercises and they pretty much "cured" my ITB syndrome. I can't get on the floor to stretch because it's more than one area causing me problems. So the massage gun is WONDERFUL in loosening the tightness in those areas.@tiabirdie56 -That sounds awful!!!! I hope it goes away soon!💚
@AR10at50, it is awful and thank you, I hope it goes away soon too!5 -

I’m late for the challenge but I didn’t want to wait the next one.
So… I’ve been on mfp more than 10 years now. Sometimes I had used this app regularly for a few months, then I couldn’t stay consistent and gained more weight and came back, it’s a vicious circle. I don’t know how many times I tried and never achieved my goal weight. It is very depressing, but I am still here to try again.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 263 (my 193rd). So grateful @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round;
• to stay under 140 pounds,
• no feeding frenzies
• to lose!
I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.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.

6/15 138.2 – (trend 139.8) there’s that lovely number again making an entrance to start the round. 8.31 miles walked, just under 70% exercise calories eaten back.
6/16 139.6 – (trend 139.8) 6.06 miles walked, ate out with family as an early birthday celebration for DH last night, looked at the menu in advance & selected healthily with non-alcoholic cider, uh and there was birthday cake, eat lightly beforehand, but still 500 calories over. Travel up to Liverpool today, staying overnight, eating in the hotel, but packed a healthy lunch.
6/17 DNW - 9.94 miles walked, best guesstimate 200 calories over yesterday. Tickets booked for The Beatles Story this morning.
6/18 140.4 - (trend 139.8) urgh, results of 2 days eating out! That's one goal missed, never mind back home now with no more events this round and all home prepared for ahead, it's more promising to get back. 7.15 miles, 75% exercise calories eaten back .
6/19 139.6 – (trend 139.8) – And back down! 7.83 miles walked, less than 30% of exercise calories eaten back.
6/20 140 - (trend 139.8) – drove 2 hours each way to attend little DGD’s school sports day & communal picnic followed by watching youngest at her swimming lesson. No structured walking hence calories over.
6/21 139.6 – (trend 139.8) 9.81 miles walked, less than 50% exercise calories eaten back.
6/22 141.6 – (trend 140) major chocolate binge ☹.so despondent with myself. 8.33 miles walked.
6/23 141.4 - (trend 140.2) 8.27 miles walked, 53% exercise calories eaten back.

I was shocked to read back my very first round in JGM10Ds, I was 10 pounds lighter then in March 2019 !!! I need to get my finger out & in the words of the song "Get Back" !!!!!!3 -
@Chapter_3Am I being obsessive? Heck NO! I am preventing the highly predictable roller coaster/yo-yo of gaining 15 to 25 pounds and losing 15 to 25 pounds my ENTIRE LIFE! I am NOT going to have another freaking roller coaster🎢 ride… I rode my last one last year! If this is what it truly takes… I’m all in!
100% with you, Carolyn!!! Here's to figuring this thing out this time!5 -

Long-term Goal: Maintain 131-135 lbs

3. Strength Workout 1/2 days –
4. Swim 1/2 days -
5. 8+ cups fluids 2/2 days –
7. Calm app meditation 2/2 days -
10. 60+ grams protein 2/2 days –
11. CBT Homework 2/2 days -
6/23 – 155.6 lbs – Hi everyone! I haven’t been around for a long time, but I need some help! I see that mean ole scale creeping up higher and higher, so time to get serious and get down closer to my goal weight. I know we are starting a new round on Tues, but I figure if I leave it until then I will probably forget what I had intended to do, so here I am for the last 2 days of this round. Lol! I haven’t been focusing on protein these past few months and that is likely why my weight is creeping up. So, let me try to work on that and see what I can accomplish between now and Tuesday morning. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, all! 😊

In this next round it'll be a full 1/2 year I've been in this challenge, and that's motivation to keep the plan going; I'd hate to come back 10 lbs heavier, and that's happened. Vacations have derailed me, so this next round I'll be adjusting my plan and goals. As long as there's a scale and internet, there's no excuse!

House guests left yesterday. I am full of it. This scale reading will come down soon.
I had a really good Father’s Day. At one point yesterday we had four generations in one room. My dad the oldest in a nursing home. My two Grandkids the youngest. I must have had a dust particle in my eye when I read my cards. 😊
Welcome to the newcomers.
6/18: 222.4
/logged; exercised; 88 oz water/
General sense of depression around the casa yesterday. Not the clinical kind, more like the situational kind.
[*]Made a decision to cancel a trip in July. We travel with two other couples , we call it the six-pack. One of the guys needs emergency heart surgery. :-(
[*]DW has the same head cold I just got over. It puts you in a bad mood. Walking on Eggshells. :-)
[*]Today I meet with a consultant to help me navigate the public aid labyrinth for my parents. :-/
All the above are basically first world problems. So I am actually grateful.
6/19: 220.0
/logged; some exercise; 82 oz water/
Scale damage from our house guest / reunion weekend almost “repaired.” Just imagine where I would be if I were disciplined.
Going to the retina specialist today. When I went to the eye doctor a few weeks ago to check on my new “floater” (I named the floater Nemo) he found something on my retina needing further examination. Thus today’s visit.
I need to be more proactive about my health. When I see how broken down my parents are, I think it is a combination of their genes and their unhealthy choices. I can’t do anything about my gene pool, but I can make better choices. Like, at least paying attention ten days at a time.
6/20: 220.8
/logged; not much exercise; 80 oz water/
Woke way to early today. Hail damaged roof being replaced yesterday and today. Must. Resist. Desire. To. Micro. Manage! That works best if I just leave the property.
6/21: DNW
Wacky morning. Our Internet Service Provider was down most of the day. This should not have distracted me from normal activity, but it did….

A pathetic performance yesterday. Totally focused…on the wrong things.

Closing in on ONE year in this challenge!
F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean P:E (proteinG> Cg+Fg) A whole food WOE- no processed foods. Track macros, all fitness and NSVs. HW 172lbs in 2010. Lost 16lbs Aug-Dec 2023.
Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.

Let’s Go! 💪🏻🙌🏻⚡️
R263 Habits:
** new ✅R263- WOE: P:E
Protein g > (Cg + Fg). Try 1.5:1 or better 2:1. Was on Keto/Ketovore/MAD. Moving toward increased protein and less fat.
✅🏋️♀️20 min/ day or 30 min 4x per week. RECORD DETAIL.
✅ 🙏📝 🧐60 min 5x /week (Pray, journal, and research)
✅🥩115g -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 15g of net carbs/ day
6. ✅Clean P:E 115-130g Protein (this is new)
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 still 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 3-4x 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.
Rotating 115g to 130g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable. In my dreams, I want to be 130lbs #HSF … 😎 I want to be Healthy, Strong & Fit to live out “Chapter 3” enjoying a full range of mobility, flexibility & activities… !
Let’s do R263!!🙌🏻

Woke up @ 1:25am -fell back to sleep around four-ish… Not a great night but looking forward to today. Trying new macros just to experiment. Protein to be greater than combined fat and carbs -will try it for at least two weeks.

6 hrs sleep not bad. Up at 3:45😌🙃. Nausea past two days… hoping for better today. Visited with DGS over a sugar-free snowball…. He always brings me joy! 🎾& 🏋️♀️planned for today. I’ve been super, super stubborn, not fulfilling🏋️♀️… more determination needed to make this 🏋️♀️habit REAL.

Active day. Beautiful day. No rain. Fun with DGS - road bikes to the park. 🚴♀️🎾🚶♀️🏋️♀️. 💦!Pedals don’t count as steps?!😎.
Up @ 3:45 but slept straight thru… Today: competitive tennis starts my day and ☀️.
WOE Update: P:E working well. Tummy feels good. No bloating.
For those curious: P:E is …
Protein g > (Cg + Fg) with a ratio range of 1:1 to 2.1. Yes, takes time but tummy discomfort & bloating disappeared. Prioritizing 💦, protein and eating it first at every meal works for me. I am not counting calories, but I know I ate about 1300 yesterday based on recording macros… This is too low. Should’ve gotten 14-1500 based on activity level.
🏋️♀️Finally had a decent training session! DH coached me thru and DGS giggles spurred me on. Actually feeling it this morn. 💪🏻
Hobby: Paying close attention to my physical, spiritual & mental health IS my new hobby. I’m enjoying this journey because I’m learning +++ … Feeling more alive than ever… Why did it take me so long?! TIME? Priorities? When I was a single mom (for 20 years-ish), I was envious of all those “in shape” stay-at-home moms… I would often mumble to myself “well, if I had all day”… … Now I DO have all day… (Making myself honest here). It takes time, energy, and discipline …. And reward! Kudos to those moms getting it done.
Onward!

** So… the scale (Informational purposes only😎) ⬆️1.6lbs! Why? I simply have no idea. The only variation is that I ate 2 hrs later than usual. And , I slept EIGHT solid hrs! I also ate cantaloupe & prosciutto which is out of norm for me … does this matter? Hit P:E macros… (1240 kcals) I had an outstanding day of hitting all measures. So the real analysis would be why was I “light” the day before? Looking back, I didn’t eat enough… but all of this wasn’t significant to loosing or gaining…. I simply fluctuate 1-2lbs per day! Lesson here…? identify why the scale goes up AND down - staying prudent. I’m not trying to lose or gain… Just trying to get to know me, myself & I - gaining balance, mobility & strength (keeping with my mission). Learning lots! #HSF
Am I being obsessive? Heck NO! I am preventing the highly predictable roller coaster/yo-yo of gaining 15 to 25 pounds and losing 15 to 25 pounds my ENTIRE LIFE! I am NOT going to have another freaking roller coaster🎢 ride… I rode my last one last year! If this is what it truly takes… I’m all in!

🚫 All.
Distracted early by whimsically heading to an incredible estate sale… Had so much fun. Then picked up DGS and hung-out. Spontaneous road-trip out to dinner for amazing seafood! Enjoyed a little bit of everything without overdoing. Great Saturday. Back to routine today.
Will finish 💪🏻!

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

Comments pertain to previous day
SW RND 263 133.0
6/15 134.0 Upcoming birthday for friend at Golden Corral on Monday doesn’t thrill me especially after anticipated Father’s Day lunch of pizza on Sunday. Just shoot me now! On the plus side - water fitness M, W, F and gym T, Th, F. I’m not doing a lot but anything is better than nothing.
6/16 133.5 Day off from “working out” Even though I’m pleased with myself for getting back to doing activities, I am so mad at myself for letting myself become the ultimate couch potato for the last several years. Once I sat down for COVID closures, I never really got up. I know there are lots of others who did this too. Don’t get me wrong, I have always tended towards being a slug and it was too easy to fall back into that. So I’m depressed about that and losing Oskar has compounded my “depression.”
6/17 133.5 Amazed I didn’t go up. Had pizza for Father’s Day lunch - 3 slices. Later I had 7 shrimp left from the other night. Tonight Golden Corral for friend’s birthday.
6/18 135.0 I had a pity party after “emergency” dentist visit and ate all not LCHF at GC. If I get my act together today it should be gone soon.
6/19 134.5 Eating yesterday was good. Getting a haircut today.
6/20 134.5 Bingo last night, eating last night was good until the Fat Boy ice cream sandwich.
6/21 134.5 Back to water fitness this morning.
6/22 133.0 Today is GGS’s birthday party at 2pm and for some unknown reason DH set an early lunch date with friends at 11am. I am so irritate! I was strong yesterday and didn’t allow myself to feel pressured into eating when he finally wanted something at about 5. Now to survive the party this afternoon.
6/23 134.0 Well, I’m okay with this. We had a fun time in the Construction Zone as DGGS is currently infatuated with heavy equipment. Our daughter made us each a “Construction Crew” t-shirt

6/15 215.4
6/16 215.6 I’m not happy with this. I know my activity wasn’t as high the last couple of days and I haven’t been drinking water like I should. I’m struggling to believe that small changes like water intake can have such an effect on weight. I’m going to be better about my water and just keep at it. Trying hard not to let the weight gain get me down. I know it’s not a lot, but it feels like when I get excited that I’m doing the right thing to lose weight, the scale goes back up. Time to push past the negative thoughts and keep working. It’s a lifestyle change, which means there will be fluctuations.
6/17 211.4 I know this is 100% water weight, but I’m going to enjoy it for now. I expect the number to fluctuate some more, but if this is the push I need to reach my round goal, I’ll take it.
6/18 214 A little more fluctuation than I’d hoped for, but I ate a lot yesterday and I ate dinner late, so all in all I’m good.
6/19 212.2
6/20 211.6 Happy birthday to me!! Went out yesterday to celebrate my birthday (early) and enjoyed spending time with family. Celebrating a NSV that I enjoyed going out and managed to lose a few more ounces.
6/21 211.8 I’m going to have to kick it up a notch to hit 209 in 3 days. Even if it’s only one day, I’d be happy.

My 21st Round
6/23 – 155.6 lbs – Hi everyone! I haven’t been around for a long time, but I need some help! I see that mean ole scale creeping up higher and higher, so time to get serious and get down closer to my goal weight. I know we are starting a new round on Tues, but I figure if I leave it until then I will probably forget what I had intended to do, so here I am for the last 2 days of this round. Lol! I haven’t been focusing on protein these past few months and that is likely why my weight is creeping up. So, let me try to work on that and see what I can accomplish between now and Tuesday morning. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, all! 😊
6/24
@clprieur It's so nice to see you again! I thought I lost you when they cancelled the main feed. Great decision jumping in and not waiting more days until the next round. So happy to be sharing our journeys! I've been in a backsliding position lately but I'm working hard on getting back up on the horse and back on track. Let's do this!
