Round 263
June 15 - 176.4 - Yikes, that's 1.6 pounds heavier than my last round weight. Good news is I can play a mind game with myself when the first couple of pounds for my Summer Challenge come off really fast. I blame this on eating too much watermelon last night, and also not sleeping enough. I find that I try to eat my way to having energy when it's just that I'm tired. Sometime, I'll be hungry and just take a short nap and wake up feeling so much better and no longer hungry (again, this only works some of the time
).
June 16 - 175.0 - That's Better. Yesterday's weight was water weight and not sleeping. This will be my starting weight for losing 14 pounds this summer!
June 17- DNW
June 18 - 174.8
June 19- DNW - Too much popcorn last night. Nope, I don't care to see the water weight this morning. I never eat past 7pm but last night for some unknown reason I decided to have popcorn at 9pm. Ugh!
June 20 - 174.8
June 21 - 174.4 - I have a closet full of clothes that I cannot fit into. I've bought very few clothes since I gained weight and the ones I've bought have been in dark colors supposedly to hide my weight. I went from working in a high-rise in Atlanta with hundreds of people to moving to Maine and working from home so I could get away without buying many clothes once I gained weight. In addition, I have lived in sweats because I work from home. I decided last week I had enough "waiting" for that elusive date when I'm "slim" and bought 6 new casual dresses. They arrived yesterday and they are so vibrant and colorful! Obviously my health is number one especially after many, many health issues the past years, but I hope this one step moves me closer to doing other things that I've put off that are good for my mental health. I think my husband also appreciates seeing me out of sweats every now and then. LOL
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

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

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… !

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.

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!

@fmfdfa2020
I 100% relate to your post regarding S, M, L. A bunch of folks on here also relate because I remember a few past rounds where many chimed in to multiple closets & multiple clothes sizes.
When I lived alone after my son moved out, I literally had four full closets of clothes… FOUR. Ranging from extra small to extra large. Holding on to the past and hoping/worried for the future…. I didn’t get rid of all those clothes until my husband and I got married & moved and only had one closet! I was forced! 🤣. But gosh, as I look back those four closets of clothes were a stranglehold… binding me in so many ways… Good on you for getting some dresses that you feel GREAT in now!!! That will boost your mood and momentum. You’re reflecting and making smart decisions. Moving forward. That’s AWESOME!6 -

@Chapter_3 Thanks for your response and after reading it, the next step I'm going to make is giving away most of them. My husband and I have spent the last year cleaning out everything stored away that we have not touched in the past 2 years. It is really amazing how much stress you lose when you lose clutter. The two closets that hold all these clothes has been the one place I've not allowed myself to purge, but no longer. I also have a workshop where I make silver and enameled jewelry and every time we would get rid of a piece of furniture, or containers, anything I thought I might could use, I would find some way to fit it in my workshop, not to mention everything I've collected over the years that I used to make my jewelry but no longer use. I know I'm much more creative when I'm organized and don't have clutter around, so my workshop is next!! Thanks again!6 -

Welcome! and congratulations for NEVER giving up! Losing weight is never easy. It is important to keep trying until you progress and get it right, not perfect. There is no perfection in eating right or losing weight. We all have to find what works for us. Keep up the good work! You can do it!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.

DH and I have been watching Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones on Netflix, and of course the commonalities of communities where more people live longer are plant-based, low-junk diets, lots of physical activity in the course of daily life, and a few other things. I’m working on upping my veggies and reducing processed carbs (read pasta), but I think I’m going to have to press harder. At 89 in July, thin DH doesn’t feel any pressing need to change his diet, but at 71 and fat, I know I can’t eat the way he does (he doesn’t eat junk, but is a huge fan of pasta). We can’t always eat different dinners, but my new strategy is to have extra veggies. I’m hoping this series will nudge him to more me-friendly meals. I’ve also been doing so much work in my garden that I haven’t been walking as planned. I need to get back to walking, for many reasons.
6/16 - 197.4
I had a little pig out last night for some reason. I’m trying to get some walking in but it’s turning very hot and I’m prone to “heat sickness.” I’m thinking of going to Menards to walk, since they have ac and miles of aisles. 😊
6/17 - 197.2
The heat has arrived. Other than watering my plants, I’m not spending much daytime outdoors. Maybe I can sneak in a walk this evening.
6/18 - DNW
My schedule got discombobulated with workmen here at 7:40 (they told us “after 8”) so I didn’t weigh this morning. That’s ok. I ate responsibly yesterday and plan to do the same today.
6/19 - 196.6
I did a big thing yesterday…As some of you know, I’m a writer (21 books and hundreds of articles and essays), but I haven’t written much in the past few years due to a combo of factors. I have had a stack of manuscripts in various stages of incompleteness sitting on my desk, taunting me whenever I’m in that room, and calling me names even when I’m not. I will likely never touch those projects again—they’re stale and my interests have shifted. So I tossed the lot in the recycle bin. They’re still on my computer, but I’m considering a deletion binge. When—if—I get back to writing, I need to start fresh. And weirdly, I can’t help feeling that hanging onto old, stale writing projects was linked to hanging onto weight. We’ll see. I can’t tell you how hard it was to make that decision and how liberating once it was done. I feel like something new has opened. Now to find it!
6/20 - 196
That’s encouraging. 😊
6/21 - 196
I’m spending the weekend at a dog show, staying in my friend’s camper trailer, so won’t be checking in. Fortunately, I did the shopping, so unless she adds something, there’s no junk food. It will be fun—I’m not showing, so all I have to do is cheer her on, trying to finish her dog’s championship. See you Monday!

@SheilaBoneham: I did not know you're a writer! If you're comfortable sharing, would love to read something you've written?
@judefit1 Aww, you’re sweet. Sadly, most of my books are out of print, but used copies are around, and many libraries have or can get them I wrote a mystery series with a 50-some animal photographer/dog sport enthusiast protagonist—four books (Drop Dead on Recall, The Money Bird, Catwalk, Shepherd’s Crook) and also 17 nonfiction books about dogs and cats. I also write literary essays. I hope it’s ok to include a link to this one, “A Question of Corvids,” which won several awards and appears in the 2015 Best American Science and Nature Writing anthology. https://press53.com/issue-61-table-of-contents. You have to scan (or read!) down through the Prime Number volume to find it. Thanks for asking!7 -

2. Close my rings

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. Thank you all for the birthday wishes! It was a great day.6 -

6/18-177- I have not been making exercise a priority. The horrible heat and wind should not be present today.
6/19-175-The food consumption wasn’t the best, but I did pick up my orthotics and walked 3.5 miles and drank plenty of water. I feel good.
6/20-174-Switched to green tea-iced and will take that today instead of a coke. Off to help make quilts for the veterans. Lunch is provided and I will not eat the bread….i hope.
6/21-DNW-Should get a walk in today. Some minor yard work.

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.5 -

06/19 -186.2- (Trend weight185.0)
06/20 -185.2- (Trend weight185.0) A nice little one pound drop today which is likely a lot of fluid. I shed water all night so my quality of sleep suffered but my scale rewarded. I’m still really fighting the night time snack urges no matter how late I have my dinner, how heavy my dinner is and no matter what protein or fiber or healthy fat I add to my evening. It’s not hunger (most of the time), it’s boredom and/or habit. Reading is not helping. TV is not helping. I’m just keeping all healthier snacks in the house and hoping I can keep from overeating them. This is tough. Luckily I’ve been doing this long enough to have no issues with my meals 99% of the time (as long as they are at home). I’m also still struggling with exercise. When I’m hot, I’m hot and when I’m not, I’m not. Right now I’m unmotivated and lazy about it. Perhaps I’ll start slow and work my way back up to some useful and meaningful movement every day. Glad to see my weight going back down in the right direction though. However, I can't help but notice as I look up this post at my entries (June 15) that I gained 4.2 in two days but have only lost 1.8 in three days. But who ever promised that life would always be fair?
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.

Round # 45 for me!
SW: 330.6 (5000 step goal, goal to lose 2+ lbs. each challenge, go to bed by 11:30, no eating out more than once every 10-day challenge) steps are listed from the previous day
6/15 331.6 - 4216 steps
Great to be back and thanks again for still being here!
I try not to complain about the many changes that the new owners (now old owners actually) of MFP have made, but how I miss the old MFP sometimes. But just like everything else we have to take the good with the bad and focus on the good and move on. There are not too many things free anymore... So, I am getting over MFP getting rid of newsfeeds 
Nothing stands stills and changes are going to continue in all avenues of life. Have a great weekend everyone!

Yesterday I had friends over for dinner and it was very nice. I did not do too bad eating. I burned over 4100 calories working and cooking so I burned enough to maintain for extra calories I ate. I only splurged on leftover pound cake I should have sent it home but I kept it. It is one of my favorites. I cut the rest up and put it in the freezer. It was only 3 pcs left. I hope everyone had a great weekend.
@Chapter_3 – Thanks so much for that article on sabotage!! It was a great reminder.

6/19 328.0 – 5287 steps
Went for a short walk last night after dark. It was breezy and nice. I can’t walk in this heat. I overate last night but happy to see I maintained. The foods I ate were clean but still way over on calories. I will plan better tonight. I have to go to Costco. I may walk in there before I do my shopping. Stay cool Everyone!

It always amazes me how fast these 10 days go. I am still not happy MFP got rid of the newsfeeds but I am very glad to be back here because it is helping me for sure just knowing I have to check in. It is amazing! I have to admit this group is more helpful than the newsfeed. It forces me to check in more often than I did with the newsfeed. I have not seen this number on the scale since April. Thanks for all of the wonderful and encouraging posts. I don’t always have time to read them but I will always do my best to read some of them each day.
6/21 328.0 – 4335 steps Had a pint of Ben & Jerry’s before going to bed and no walk. Have a great weekend everyone!

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us. 5 -
I heard this on Instagram and had to share;
"If beating up ourselves worked wouldn't we be perfect by now."

(Th•88g Prot▪︎98gCarb▪︎92ozs water) The furthest thing from my mind is weighing. Currently suffering with tight fascia, very painful. Putting my massage gun to use throughout the day.
@tiabirdie56 Tish, I had to look up what fascia was (in regards to health). I had never heard of it except in vinyl siding. Ouch, ouch, ouch. THAT sounds very very painful. I sure do hope you will feel better soon. Take care my friend!5 -

Thank you @quiltingjaine for another round.6 -
@deepwoodslady, thanks Donna. I had no idea what fascia was either until I started having so much pain from IT Band syndrome back in 2019. I'm a mess. It causes my knee pain, hip bursitis, piriformis syndrome (sciatica) IT Band syndrome, tight hip flexors currently, which feels like a groin pull, left and right. Smh.6

🎷 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.

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.

@fmfdfa2020 and @Chapter_3: Oh boy, do I identify with the clothes dilemma! I only have one small closet, but it's in an attic room with eaves access where I've got bins in every size. Maria Kondo clearly doesn't yoyo or she'd understand!7
