Day/Weight/Comment
06/24 …..187.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
06/25 -187.8- (Trend weight 185.8)
06/26 -186.4- (Trend weight 186.1)
06/27 -186.6- (Trend weight 186.3) It was a very good day of meal planning and eating. But a very bad night of binge and I don’t just mean the TV. The madness has got to stop. My reno crew is not coming today and I’m already stir crazy. I may head out-of-town for any shopping I need and maybe do a little resale-ing. Lots of projects I need to do around here too though so we’ll see. I looked up what I weighed on this day last year. It feels like I’ve gotten nowhere but records show I am down nearly 12 pounds. That’s not much for an entire year of working so hard at logging, prep cooking and often (not often enough?) going without the foods I love. But it’s nothing for an old gal like me to sneeze at either. Keep going Donna. Progress is just around the bend.
06/28 -186.4- (Trend weight 186.4) Jeepers Creepers it sure goes on faster than it comes off. As usual after a substantial gain I am “mixing things up” to get things moving. Changing type of exercise/rotating, completely adding in different foods I don’t use much, using the zig-zag plan where my calories and carbs are all mixed up to surprise my body, changing what times I eat, increasing water over coffee, Intermittent Fasting (some days) so my body never knows what to expect etc. etc. It will all pay off but it takes a bit of time. Today was no-weigh Friday but I weighed and forgot to take the once-per-week Fosamax for my Osteopenia that usually screws up my Friday schedule. I’ll take it tomorrow instead so I may not weigh tomorrow. Woke up today and mixed it up by doing a 15 minute aerobic video (something I don’t do often in the morning due to needing my coffee so badly). I fasted a little later than yesterday but ate a small side with my lunchtime sandwich will increase the calories for the day for sure so I will be zig-zagging to the higher end allowed. Is it science or is it a game? A little of both I think.

RND 264 (my 12th)
SW (first round) 155.8
SW (this round) 148.1
6/24 - 148.7 - walked 2 miles this morning. Still not sure how my foot is coping with its new freedom from the boot. While walking it felt great. After walking it felt great. Later in the day I had a lot of aching pain on the ball of my foot - but that is not where the injury was so I was confused about the source of the pain. Thinking that maybe it is just my foot adjusting back to walking “normally” again. By the end of the day, there was no more pain. Fingers crossed it stays that way and I can walk again tomorrow morning.
6/25 - 148.3 - storms this morning so no walk. Busy stressful day of working late so no evening workout either. Stress ate cookies I did not need - but they were delicious
6/26 - 147.8
6/27 - 147.9
6/28 - 149.0 - not a stellar start to my challenge attendance - having skipped two days without posting - and now posting on the day I gained rather than lost 🙁. Had a “team fun” get together at my house last night - I did not eat a lot but it was all very salty (they brought the snacks and I supplied the beverages) so the gain does not surprise me. Also TOM is going to start within the next few hours so there is that too. I have not done a good job with drinking water today to help flush it out and I am about to indulge in yet more salty food. I am not in a good place to make good decisions and my 14 y/o daughter has requested her favorite pizza for dinner. Work has been stressful all week. I am exhausted and I am extremely hungry - I’ve been so busy today I have barely eaten. None of these things will help me keep my eating of salty, greasy, pizza in check… but… I am going to try and I am hoping to have just typed this…being aware of the treacherous situation I am walking into…and admitting “out loud” that I am likely to over-indulge - that it will help me stay in line - at least a little bit.

@Anabirgite - Great job! I don't actually know anyone who plays pickle ball lol. Yes, it is certainly a calorie burner from what I have seen. I only know about it because I follow tennis and I know it is trending and some retired tennis players are playing pickle ball now. It could be the next up and coming sport I hear. It looks interesting and fun.
@judefit1- thanks for sharing vacation picture! Beautiful!
@quiltingjaine - Thanks for sharing pictures of your family on the last round. I forgot to mention it. The dump trucks in the sand were too cute

6/25 173.4 I have to admit this time is the hardest time I’ve ever had losing weight. I’ve been at this since March 2 and have yet to see that 20 lb. loss which I thought I’d have had weeks ago. The thing is, I’ve been pretty consistent with food intake and getting in more protein and lower carbs than I was used to. I’ve exercised more, but not in the extreme. I have not done well with water although I don’t drink calories either so I get a fair amount each day. Here’s to another round for all of us. Good luck, everyone!
6/26 173.6 Lots of activity with the DGD at the pool yesterday.
6/27 172.6 Yay! Fingers crossed!
6/28 173.4 It figures! Hiking always leads to a little spike for some reason. Maybe I’m hungrier, maybe it’s muscle soreness, but it happens every time. Took my DGD for her first hike on the Appalachian Trail (which is pretty special to me). She LOVED every moment of it and we had a fantastic day. Doing things like this with her---THAT is my Why!

Hi everyone! I’m 34 years old and 164 cm (5’ 4,5”). I have a very sedentary life, since I am a PhD researcher. I work mostly from home or sometimes I go to a cafe. Sometimes I go to the gym 2-3 times in a week, but sometimes I don’t go for weeks. I don’t have a routine. I’ve been overweight since I was 18 and every year I gained more and more. In the last 1,5 years I have been between 103-105 kg (227-231 lbs). My ultimate goal weight is 70 kg (154 lbs), but firstly I want to go below 103 kg which I stuck for 1,5 years. Then I hope go below 100 kg (220 lbs).
I started on 20 June, it’s still early days so being consistent is very important throughout this challenge. I aim to take 1600 calories a day and reach my macro goals. I am not crazy strict, but I don’t wanna be too loose and off the track either.
SW: 105 kg (20 June)
UGW: 70 kg
RSW: 104.4 kg
RGW: 102.9 kg
6/25 - 104.4 kg
6/26 - 104.1 kg
I ate below my calorie goal and was close to my macro goals. Some days will be more than my calorie goal, so once or twice a week I need this lower calorie days. I am happy about yesterday and today’s weight 😊
6/27 -104.2 kg
Yesterday, I ate all my calories and reach my exact macro goals. I went to the city centre yesterday so walking almost 10000 steps helped me to burn the extra calories that I took from a pint of beer and stayed within calorie limits. I was hoping to see 103s but it’s fine, beer effect probably. I don’t prefer cut alcohol but limit it, so it’s ok. I am planning to drink 2-2,5 pints of beer per week. Which is like extra 500-600 calories that makes me happy and I can burn that.
6/28 - 103.7 kg
I ate all my calories, and was close to my macro goals. I walked over 7000 steps after dinner. I am very happy to see 103s, I cannot wait for 102s.
6/29 - 103.3 kg
It’s been 9 days I started to “diet” and it usually starts like this: seeing the numbers are decreasing. However it usually stops after 12-15 days even though I don’t do anything different and I demotivate myself and stop. So this time I don’t want to be too excited about losing weight easily (?) at the beginning and I want to be aware of it might be just water weight for now, but I need to continue. As I said before going below 103 has been a problem for me about 1,5 years. If I can be less than 103 and continue to lose weight then I will believe that it’s working. So keep calm and be consistent. Yesterday I ate a bit less than my calorie goal but my macros weren’t great. It’s good that I ate less because Sunday is our 1,5 years anniversary (I know half year anniversary doesn’t make sense 😃 but we love a celebration). My partner and I want to celebrate with going somewhere and doing something special. So I will use that extra calories on Sunday. I expect to see an increase on 7/01.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 264 (my 194th). So grateful @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
• to stay under 140 pounds,
• to lose!
I was shocked towards the end of last round to read back that 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 to Where you Once Belonged" !!!!!! And it is Global Beatles Day 😊.
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.

@judefit1 a dreamy day at the cape! The picture took me there.
@fmfdfa2020 how did I not realize you are a Down Easter (lol leave off the r if you are a local). I have a special place in my heart for Maine and a certain handsome Lobster Fisherman who I shared a home with on Swan’s Island in my wild days.
@SheilaBoneham Beautiful, I imagine I could spend many hours enjoying your beautiful gardens.

@Chapter_3 \: congratulations on the great InBody results! They truly reflect your commitment to being your "best self!"
@fmfdfa2020: the Maine coast is so beautiful, love your photo!
@SheilaBoneham: gorgeous gardens, such a beautiful place to unwind!
@UTMom81: so adorable, and how fantastic to start her hiking experience now; she'll have years of pleasure ahead of her; what part of the AT are you on? My brother lives very close to it in CT.

6/29 174.6 not terrible but I am definitely going through a period of cravings and hunger. I ate yogurt with peanut butter after dinner. I wasn’t hungry, I was in a craving. The upside is I did not drive to the store and buy an ice cream cake which is what the demon on my left shoulder was telling me to do.
How is it that 175 pounds had me feeling amazing just a few weeks ago but now I feel just as uncomfortable with my body as I did at 200 pounds? This is the head game, this is where the real disorder and food addiction shows itself.
This is the HARD STUFF!!!!! @Chapter_36 -

I’m a serial dieter/gainer whose weight has varied by 50 lbs over the years; I’m working to change my relationship with food. I joined this group in 12/23 at 147, lost 22 lbs and reached my goal in 4/24. I’m now working to understand my patterns so I know where my pitfalls are. My goal is to remain within the same 3-4 lb range for good!
We’re on vacation for this entire round, which is usually the start of my “yoyo” upswing. Goal is to eat well, enjoy food and maintain my weight even when breaking from my daily routine.

6/29: Halfway through vacation already, it goes so fast! Doing well with food for the most part; more wine than I would have at home which may in itself account for the fluctuation. If I can keep the numbers to a couple lbs I'll be happy, and it tells me how important it is for me to pay attention. Beautiful day kayaking to a quiet beach, reading and dozing in the sun, and then collegiate summer league baseball last night. Another great Vineyard day...

InBody Scan. I promised I’d share.
Renpho scale is not consistent with Inbody scan in almost every measure except weight… All I can suggest is paying attention to the Renpho trends and try to get an Inbody scan if you want to go that granular.
The trainer that works with me on my scan results told me I had fantastic results… I cannot tell you how pleased and joy – filled I was to hear that from her… MUSIC!!!! Hard stuff is paying off. I lost 1.7% body fat to 22.9%, which is within my goal range. Well, do I stop now?! NO INDEED! …. because it says I still need to gain 2.4 pounds of muscle so that’s my next goal! The second incredible result was that my lean body mass increased while my weight decreased… !!!! AND, while my weight went down 2lbs, it was ALL FAT!!! My number one goal was to lose fat and gain muscle and I did it! This FEELS amazing! I’ve said this several times, but I’m going to say it again… Seeing and feeling comprehensive results over time is far better than a momentary happy taste-bud! I still have plenty of hard choices ahead of me making those choices into #helpful LIFELONG habits… slowly, slowly becoming #HSF.
TODAY :📣 #bestshapeofmylife📣 !!!!!
I looked over 12 years of Inbody results and am claiming THIS WIN! At 65 years young, I am actually in the best shape of my life! The hard choices continue… I’m so excited to keep this momentum going! No more “skinny-fat”!
EDIT: I hit my “goal weight” back in 11/2023… This is four months of work since my last inbody scan 2/23/24….. slow & steady building #helpfulhabits over TIME! In January, BF% was 26.4%. It’s now 22.9%… lost 5lbs of FAT & gained 3lbs of muscle. I know I know I know lots of detail!
@Chapter_3 I would love to "nerd-out" with something like this scan. Where do you get one and how costly is it if you don't mind me asking. Looks like some useful tangible information.5 -

Let’s Go! 💪🏻🙌🏻⚡️
R264 Habits: (same as 263)
** ✅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. (At least 5 days/wk)
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 R264!!🙌🏻

Solid day. Slept yucky. Not enough water. So darn hot yesterday… need more 💦 today- even tho 80oz feeling dehydrated….
Really want to sleep better /feeling cortisol levels still high.
This week DGS coming over after soccer camp each day for an hour or so…. He is my “why” - #HSF Focus on balance, mobility & functional training.
Let’s Go!

Up too early but slept like a rock for 5 hrs. Tried to go back to sleep but couldn’t. Will make lemonade.
P:E going well. Hitting macro “ratios” is an interesting experiment. Will continue thru this round then assess.
Solid 🏋️♀️ yesterday. Feeling it. (Good!) Still pushing myself to “DO IT” cuz it certainly is not a habit yet! Typical summer heat here. Today might be a rest day. Will see how I feel when the rest of the world wakes up. 😃.
Oh, the scale? More 💦💦💦 than usual and kept my routine. My body adores routine! I “surged” two days 6/24 & 6/25 and after reviewing my 6 mo stats, 130-131 is “my zone”. (What else am I going to do at 4a.m.?) Anything out of that range is a “systems fluctuation”. Still striving to build functional strength, agility & balance.
Let’s strive today! #HSF#helpfulhabits

This morning all I can think about is that I slept nine hours! No nap yesterday … I fell asleep on the couch around 7 PM… Slept straight through the night -feel great! Good day 💪🏻yesterday! Let’s hope the 💤 continues!
(I have a tennis match this evening and whenever I play at night I can’t sleep🤞🏻)
Scale⚖️thoughts: Weirdness.
I have no explanation… same as when the scale jumps up … must be my “systems”

Slept very poorly last night due to late 🎾Tennis. Too much adrenaline. My team is on the road to state again! Hopefully I can take a nap today. InBody @ 9:30am. Will report back.
6/29 ⚖️ 129.8lbs
✅Pg 136 P:E 2.2 :1 📝🚶♀️3.6k (YIKES) 🛏️💤 8hrs 😄 🚫🏋️♀️
Food entry: I mixed up my eating routine - DH and I went to our favorite little health food café. Chose tri-color slaw mixed with chopped broccoli & cauliflower (no dressing)… topped with delicious, yummy fresh turkey salad w/ dab of Mayo, chopped carrots & black olives. They raise their own turkey- Que Delicioso! Divided for lunch and dinner … protein shake w/ yogurt/berries to top off my day. (Yes, I did suffer lots of gas🙃) but a Perfect P:E day.
Today = 💪🏻day. (I’ve had two rest days). Several 🇺🇸celebrations so will get my 🚶♀️💪🏻done early this morn. (But there’s another really good estate sale happening this morning so I might indulge!) I plan on enjoying whatever whole foods are served today - no alcohol. It’s going to be +100° - plenty of electrolytes.

This avoidance of logging has been my downfall lately. When I am diligent about logging, it works on my mind. I ask myself, “do a really want to face logging this snack?”
The food logging thing is what attracted me to MFP in the first place. So easy! Just do it Jeff!
About macros. I know they are important, but I share a grocery list with my DW and she doesn’t give two hoots about getting that granular. Plus, I find it almost impossible to meet protein goals, so that pushes me away from macro gazing also. Maybe I should try again. Protein snacks?
6/26: 222.4
/logged; exercised; 66 oz water/
Late post today. I can report that today I have already gone fishing with DGS and gone on a hike with him too. I did most of the fishing and he played around with the worms! 😊 The hike was partially in the rain.
I can also report that most of the weight I gained since yesterday has left the premises. You know what I mean.
6/27: 222
/logged; exercised; 70 oz water/
Back to the early morning post. Not much going on since yesterday’s late day post.
BUT, I realize that I didn’t mention that my mom had a routine Dr. appointment Tuesday morning. Since my mom is a hypochondriac (I don’t use that term lightly or to be mean) she used the opportunity to present her concerns. Out of the blue the Dr. asked “how is your heart feeling?” Mom says “I feel some pressure.” BOOM! Dr. sent her to the emergency room immediately. Six hours later she was discharged from the hospital with what amounted to a false alarm. (not without $$$$$ various tests.) E.R. doctor says, “she is very healthy.” Mom’s analysis, “maybe my bra was too tight.” My mom loves medical attention. I think we need to find a new Doctor honestly. This isn’t the first time Dr. has pushed her responsibility off to the emergency room.
Rant over.

This roller coaster of my life that I was shoved onto 2 years ago continues to careen and somehow speed up! I have every intention of fully participating in this round, thank goodness no traveling for next 10 days. But to just add jet fuel to my chaos, my neighbor offered to buy my house last weekend and I said yes. So now 2 months to move. Eeeks!!! Looking forward to starting my next chapter in my life and getting off this current ride. Losing these last few pounds, which seems be the only thing I cannot lose seems like a great place to start. I need to weigh myself, weigh my food, track my food and participate on this blog. These goals have worked magic for me before. Look forward to reading all of your postings...
6/25: 122.2 Down a pound from last week - been waiting for this challenge to start. Also I am going to not drink on weekdays, lucky I am planning to play pickleball this evening, such a calorie burner.
6/26: 121.6💥 Weighed myself 💥 weighed my food💥, tracked my food💥 and posting💥 Yeah! Played pickleball last night 2 hours, great workout and reliever of stress.I guess once the inspection is done I will know for sure sale is going thru or not and that should relieve some stress and then add some more as I then put move plan in to action.
6/27: 121.4 💥Yeah!!! Weighed me, my food (almost all), tracked and posted- Yesterday overwhelmed with 30 years of paperwork, shredded so much because trash day today. Emptied my kitchen shelves- almost all Sunday- should have activated my watch to track my activity moving that trash can to the street! Debating having a garage sale next Saturday, July-5-6, could this be too soon? What if house sale falls thru? Eeks! Exercised late last night since so behind shredding paperwork. Actually ate just 20 something grams under the MFP allotment - shocked inched down. Tracking works...
6/28: 121.2💥 I need to take the Win. Weighed, tracked and posted. I read several others posters commenting on losing slowly... I understand that feeling. I might need to adjust my calories. Good news no headache this morning - not sure why not stress level still thru roof. Home inspection today, expect this will be what makes or breaks this sale. I at peace either way - or that is what I am telling myself and God. Shredded almost a decade of tax returns, hard to believe how much stuff you accumulate. Played pickleball last night.
6/29: 121.6 Not as bad as I thought it might be. Home Inspector was in my house from 8 AM until 2 and the homebuyer from 11:30 until 2PM - felt very awkward to make lunch- so ran to Whole foods to eat at their hot bar. Then went to a Euchre party last night. No exercise, awful! hate days like this. I had to work late- so no time. Need to pray I accept God's plan here. Playing Pickleball this morning -Yeah- Then need to start clearing things out.

@_JeffreyD_ Oh! Come nerd with me! I get mine done at our health club. It is $25 however, There is a Nutrishop (Supplements) In town that does it for free while they try to get you to buy every supplement in their shop). The body-builders that work there analyze results trying to sell you a ton of supplements and so I don’t like going there… At my health club, the $25 includes a 30 minute detailed analysis by a nutritionist/personal trainer. The same gal has analyzed my results with me since last November. I think if you “google” InBody you will hopefully find a location near you…
@UTMom81 My goodness! What a lovely photo and activity to enjoy with your DGS. I wish I lived near beautiful hiking… I am a mountain gal, but unfortunately live near the beaches which I avoid…
@SheilaBoneham How did I miss your garden photos?! Beautiful! Such a rewarding hobby… to see, relish and enjoy your efforts…!

@Skyleen75 You know that this journey is filled with ups and downs… Right now you’re experiencing the down and the challenge… As my mom would say, this, too, shall pass, and you will quickly “level down” under 175 and get new momentum… Realize it’s only momentary and you will BUST THROUGH!! I You’re learning your body. If you know 175 is a challenge point what a great realization to push through it! I practice affirmations EVERY DAY, and I have to visualize success… It’s OK to be stuck. Fake it to you make it. Visualize your new identity and will it to be true. See yourself successful! I think it’s fitting to compare this journey to Olympic athletes… They train their entire lives to reach their goals, and I’m sure their journey is filled with a gazillion starts and stops… Im no Olympic athlete But if anyone wants something really really bad enough, determination will kick in and you will succeed! Embrace THE HARD and push thru. Today is “no excuse” Saturday! 🤗
I read yesterday that this journey we are on requires sacrifice. SACRIFICE. Oh my gosh, that word really hit me…. I could go on and on and on, but everybody knows the drill. Sending positive vibes and encouragement!
DISCLAIMER: Please know that I am obviously riding on a high from yesterday’s results… I have to tell myself to stay on guard, and to keep tracking. I know I’ll have some dips/struggles coming up…. Cuzz it’s all part of it. And, I know this group will be here for me when it happens…. Because it will. 🤗6 -

Vacation starts on the 3rd!! A couple of months ago I set a goal to be between 205-203 lbs by the time we went on vacation. I’m very near that goal and would love to hit it, but realistically I don’t know if I can. I’m going to stay consistent and focus on life changes not short term wins.

6/27 210.6
6/28 210.4 just waiting to drop water weight. I’ve made sure to drink plenty, log my food and stay at or below calories/macros/etc. My activity is same as before. I know why the weight is slow and I’m just working on staying consistent until my body catches up. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
6/29 DNW didn’t meet my water intake and indulged in the most delicious bbq followed by a triple chocolate molten brownie with vanilla bean ice cream. No need to check the scale to know the number will be up. It’s okay though. Today’s a busy day of getting ready for vacation, which means lots of activity, water, and not a lot of heavy food.

@judefit1 a dreamy day at the cape! The picture took me there.
@fmfdfa2020 how did I not realize you are a Down Easter (lol leave off the r if you are a local). I have a special place in my heart for Maine and a certain handsome Lobster Fisherman who I shared a home with on Swan’s Island in my wild days.
@SheilaBoneham Beautiful, I imagine I could spend many hours enjoying your beautiful gardens.
@Skyleen75 I was born and raised in Georgia and moved here in 2000. I absolutely love you shared this: "...special place in my heart for Maine and a certain handsome Lobster Fisherman who I shared a home with on Swan’s Island in my wild days."

June 28 - 174.0 - It has finally cooled down here in Maine. I hope wherever you are it's cooled down if you've been as hot as we have. My family is in Georgia and I think it was 99 degrees yesterday. Of course, it's all about the humidity. Here's a snapshot when walking this morning (Marginal Way between Ogunquit and Perkins Cove). If you're ever heading north from Boston into Maine, Ogunquit is worth a stop. Marginal Way is about a mile long and an easy walk, and there's a small beach as well. If you stay overnight, you don't need a car, you can walk or take the trolly car every where. When we would vacation in Maine before moving here, we would pass right by it heading to Portland, Kennebunkport, Camden, Bar Harbor, etc.

I’m a serial dieter/gainer whose weight has varied by 50 lbs over the years; I’m working to change my relationship with food. I joined this group in 12/23 at 147, lost 22 lbs and reached my goal in 4/24. I’m now working to understand my patterns so I know where my pitfalls are. My goal is to remain within the same 3-4 lb range for good!
We’re on vacation for this entire round, which is usually the start of my “yoyo” upswing. Goal is to eat well, enjoy food and maintain my weight even when breaking from my daily routine.

6/25 173.4 I have to admit this time is the hardest time I’ve ever had losing weight. I’ve been at this since March 2 and have yet to see that 20 lb. loss which I thought I’d have had weeks ago. The thing is, I’ve been pretty consistent with food intake and getting in more protein and lower carbs than I was used to. I’ve exercised more, but not in the extreme. I have not done well with water although I don’t drink calories either so I get a fair amount each day. Here’s to another round for all of us. Good luck, everyone!
6/26 173.6 Lots of activity with the DGD at the pool yesterday.
6/27 172.6 Yay! Fingers crossed!
6/28 173.4 It figures! Hiking always leads to a little spike for some reason. Maybe I’m hungrier, maybe it’s muscle soreness, but it happens every time. Took my DGD for her first hike on the Appalachian Trail (which is pretty special to me). She LOVED every moment of it and we had a fantastic day. Doing things like this with her---THAT is my Why!

@UTMom81 Oh my goodness, she looks like she is loving it, and she has her own walking stick and binoculars - so sweet!3 -
I love this picture as well as all others. This reminded me of the week we spent in New Hampshire with my brother and his family. He’s the outdoorsy type and their property backed up to BLM land. Two of his daughters worked the mountain huts in the summers during high school.
@SheilaBoneham I can’t wait to see your flowers this year!
We don’t seem to be able to grow much here with the high temperatures and water restrictions but we do have wildlife. Mom and a dozen baby quail come for breakfast and a roadrunner came by a few days ago.

@Sweetzyd I am so sorry to hear that you had to rehome your beloved pet. I am sure this is heartbreaking for you both. However, in finding a loving home for her you have done the best you could do in your circumstances. What a loving pet mother you have been! I hope you will find comfort in that.
Stay safe in your travels. We look forward to your return.
Thank you so much ❤️. She went to a good home but it is still heartbreaking.

RND 264 (my 12th)
SW (first round) 155.8
SW (this round) 148.1
6/24 - 148.7 - walked 2 miles this morning. Still not sure how my foot is coping with its new freedom from the boot. While walking it felt great. After walking it felt great. Later in the day I had a lot of aching pain on the ball of my foot - but that is not where the injury was so I was confused about the source of the pain. Thinking that maybe it is just my foot adjusting back to walking “normally” again. By the end of the day, there was no more pain. Fingers crossed it stays that way and I can walk again tomorrow morning.
6/25 - 148.3 - storms this morning so no walk. Busy stressful day of working late so no evening workout either. Stress ate cookies I did not need - but they were delicious
6/26 - 147.8
6/27 - 147.9
6/28 - 149.0 - not a stellar start to my challenge attendance - having skipped two days without posting - and now posting on the day I gained rather than lost 🙁. Had a “team fun” get together at my house last night - I did not eat a lot but it was all very salty (they brought the snacks and I supplied the beverages) so the gain does not surprise me. Also TOM is going to start within the next few hours so there is that too. I have not done a good job with drinking water today to help flush it out and I am about to indulge in yet more salty food. I am not in a good place to make good decisions and my 14 y/o daughter has requested her favorite pizza for dinner. My 17 y/o is gone for the weekend at a youth conference, so I told my younger girl that since she is an only child tonight, she could pick whatever she wanted for dinner. Of course she picked pizza. Work has been stressful all week. I am exhausted and I am extremely hungry - I’ve been so busy today I have barely eaten. None of these things will help me keep my eating of salty, greasy, pizza in check… but… I am going to try and I am hoping to have just typed this…being aware of the treacherous situation I am walking into…and admitting “out loud” that I am likely to over-indulge - that it will help me stay in line - at least a little bit.
6/29 - 148.7 - not sure how the scale moved that way given the stress fueled feast I indulged in last night… committed to staying on track today. Drinking lots of water and making healthy food choices.
