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!
Such a beautiful pic of your DGD. Thanks so much for sharing this. Filled with such serenity!4 -
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_3
@Skyleen75 EXACTLY what I've been going through and feeling. So well said. I have not been in a very good place for a few months now. I am trying not to focus on the time I've lost and how much closer I could have been to my goal. Instead I will focus on the habits that are good and try to strengthen my resolve when it comes to cravings and snacks. I have mastered my meals truthfully, at least when I am home and not at a restaurant. THAT has been my saving grace to not pop back up over 200 (or get back to my original 253). But those "periods of craving and hunger", it's tough. Very tough. We just have to get through it I guess. I'm thinking a protein shake at night to stave it all off when the night time snack monsters arrive. But is protein good at night? I dunno. I need research. Input from you or the group would be great!4 -

06/25 -187.8- (Trend weight 185.8)

06/27 -186.6- (Trend weight 186.3)
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.
06/29 -DNW- (Trend weight- DNW -) I traded my no-weight Friday for no-weigh Saturday due to the special medication schedule and low sleep on the day. I did very well with meals again yesterday but bad with snacks. Too much again of low carb stuff that really pounded the calories on. I was not even hungry. Not full either, but satisfied. There was (again) no reason for it other than cravings and impulsiveness. I expect that if I got on the scale it would be up a bit. Hopefully I can do okay tonight and get an okay reading tomorrow. Disappointed in myself for sure.

6/29 - 147.2 - Well... TOM arrived unexpectedly. More on that below if you care/are curious. That explains the uptick followed by the sudden drop. Not much to report on. SD and I went to the gym yesterday before BF took them back. He's at his dad's now so I have a second night solo. I'm okay with that, it's quiet and calm and I honestly need the excuse to slow down a little. Groceries this morning so I could get that out of the way - all my errands and tasks are done other than making dinner tonight. Thinking of taking the dogs tomorrow morning, early, to the river to walk before it gets horribly hot out. Will see how we feel and how early I wake up naturally. No alarms for me! Meals are all planned out based on macro goal through Monday night. I'll know if there's any changes to my macros on Monday before lunch so I can adjust from there. Definitely easier to fit things in if I have everything pre-logged rather than frantically trying to do so before I eat breakfast. Breakfast and snacks are my variables, lunches and dinners I try to have already planned out and input so I have less to mess up. I'm off to go relax and read a book!

My ramblings on the TOM situationI assumed that since TOM was so awful in May, my body went very light in June. I think, instead, due to stress, TOM didn't fully happen. I got the PMS, but not the full cleaning out/bleeding (I was spotty at best). Now I've been working on stress management (and the stress of people has lessened now that vacation is over) and my body is finally doing the cleaning out part. I have no other symptoms. It's like the cramps, bloating, headaches, fatigue were all the week of the 10th/11th and the bleed itself (with a little scale uptick but no noticeable bloat) is this weekend. I'm wondering how this will play out going forward. I suppose I'll just need to be mindful/careful and be sure I'm prepared for an unexpected visitor until things settle into routine again.
Previous Day's Comments6/25 - A bit of a drop off since I've been behaving and hitting my macros these last couple of days. I'm still on my lowest macros. I think she's keeping me here since I didn't quite get to track/control much of the food on vacation. I also didn't do any dedicated workouts but I definitely got a loooot of movement being at the beach and fishing! Back into routine now - morning workouts and tracking macros. All set for today and already began pre-planning tomorrow to ensure I keep up the good work!
6/26 - I'm up a tad but I'm feeling leaner and looking a bit leaner in the mirror so I'll take it. I was slightly above macros (about 12g over carbs so 2g over my buffer window) but that was aimed at reaching my fiber goal due to missing my snack (work meeting ran from lunch to dinner with no chance to grab my snack so I had to improvise an after dinner snack). I didn't meet my step goal, either. Today I am focused on getting both in today. BF's shoulder took at turn for the worst - surgeon said no gym (even legs) until he can be seen. Fortunately, that's Monday and we don't have to wait terribly long to know what's going on. Hopefully not a surgery but I'm starting to think that's what's best otherwise it'll keep dragging out. SD and I will be going solo tomorrow and possibly Friday (she and her brother go back to their mom's for the 4th of July week on Friday so unsure if she'll go to the gym) and I'm solo for at least Monday pending doc's further instructions for BF. I hope my willpower is enough to get me up and moving!
6/27 - DOMS? I have no idea. I'm feeling and looking as lean as I was yesterday and yesterday I felt and looked leaner than I did on Tuesday. No clue. BF ended up going to the gym despite the surgeon's orders and has been very lackadaisical about it all. I'm not going to feel so bad if he keeps going against the doc's orders and ends up needing surgery/a large length of time off the gym. He's putting himself at a higher chance of surgery/long recovery away from gym because he doesn't want to skip a couple days - he wants to look big and strong...ugh. I'm very frustrated with him. Not only for doing this to himself (SD and I tried to talk sense into him with no success) but also he ruined my workout this morning because he made me stop when he stopped due to pain... like..I'm not injured, let me finish my dang workout! I did get movement in and I did my best with what I was given but I'm definitely frustrated. At least tomorrow he won't be going due to him driving to take the kids back to their mom's for the week, but if he does, we do separate workouts Mondays and Fridays. Anyway.....rant over. I've got my meals planned for the day and all fits in macros. I'm ready for them to increase, my recovery is awful right now - I'm still very sore from Monday's leg day!

🎷 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.

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!! 👍👍6 -
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.
6/30 - 104 kg
Kinda expected, since I ate more than usual and drank beer. I ate mostly carbs so… I couldn’t count my calories properly but I am sure that it was max 1800-2000 calories, it’s not the worst. It shouldn’t demotivate me but I shouldn’t make this often either. It wasn’t good idea to go out yesterday but the weather was amazing (not very common in the UK you know). So I was tempted go to a bar and drink and eat there. And the bad thing is I will also go out today, so two days in a row will ruin my progress so far. Anyway, I have to continue, and I am still doing better than before. I ate below my calorie goal a few times this week I hope it will balance it a bit. I know that eating carbs keeps water in the body, that’s water weight I didn’t gain 700 gr in a day. I will see the real changes in the long time. However I should limit these kinda going out and eating lots of carbs days max twice in a month.

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.

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!

✅Pg 123 P:E 2:1 🏋️♀️20 min 📝🚶♀️6.5k 🛏️💤 5hrs
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
6/27 ⚖️ 129.6lbs
✅Pg 123 P:E 1.3:1 🏋️♀️20 min 📝🚶♀️10.5k 🛏️💤 9hrs 😄
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”
6/28 6/27 ⚖️ 129.6lbs
✅Pg 122 P:E 2.9 :1 📝🚶♀️10.k 🛏️💤 5hrs 😄 🚫🏋️♀️
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.
6/30 ⚖️ DNW *see below
✅Pg 125 P:E 1 :1 📝🚶♀️11k 🛏️💤 4-5hrs 🏋️♀️30min
Slept poorly. But….
Best 🏋️♀️ever. Incremental positives. I think this was the first time I actually “enjoyed” 🏋️♀️. I simply forced myself to just DO it, & after abt 10 min, I felt the endorphins / adrenaline kick in and viola-positivity took over.
Then…. A pool party! I stuck to no alcohol & my “whole foods” plan… I had two WHOLE pieces of FRIED chicken (one without skin and the second with what the heck skin) and two WHOLE pieces of PIE! Mildly disappointed in myself… that I did not stop at one piece of pie… because one was enough. Yes, there’s that. So this was my “no excuse” Saturday. Got home at 5pm and enjoyed 💦💦💦… Thinking the sugar is why I did not sleep well… Tossed all night… up @ 3:15. (DNW cuz Discombobulated. Enjoyed two cups ☕️ so will ⚖️ tomorrow).
A new day today 🎾& 🏋️♀️!

@Chapter_3 Thank you for being a rah rah girlie and cheering us all on! I have no problem with being swept up and riding along on your high!
I love the fake it to you make it comment, just this morning I was thinking how my grandmother always said “go put on some lipstick, you’ll feel better”. I always thought it was such silly, frivolous advice but now I see it was her way of “faking it”.
I’m thinking I might try and indulge in some spa pampering this week.
@deepwoodslady I’m at a loss for how to win against the cravings. There are a million “tricks” people share that often just make me angry- yes I’ve tried keeping my hands busy, chewing gum, eating carrot sticks, drinking a glass of water, waiting ten minutes and asking “am I really hungry”.
Sure it’s all helpful advice unless you are in the middle of an epic battle with the craving monster. That monster will will snap your little carrot stick sword in half and hold me face down in a bowl of ice cream so I have to eat instead of drown!!!!

@Chapter_3@judefit1 Julia, I’m enjoying following your progress on vacation. You’re killing it! Being present to enjoy every moment is such a win. You are an inspiration!
@fmfdfa2020: When you get a chance, the Cape and MV are worth the trip, even fall and spring- it's wonderful here, we come every year! But leaving coastal Maine is tough, it's pretty special too!
@quiltingjaine: Love the baby quail! My BFF lives in Tucson and I love seeing the desert in all it's amazing seasons (but I do avoid it in the summer!)

6/30 173.4 I did not win my craving battle, I just skipped eating other more nutrient rich foods. Not the answer but at least it’s something while I try to stop spiraling out of control.
I’m thinking that every time I give in to my cravings it makes it easier to give in next time. Every time I manage to move past the craving DOES NOT make the next time easier but it does make the cravings fewer.
It’s not the easy answer but logically I would rather do the hard fight against the cravings a few times than beat myself up everyday.
I’m just white knuckling it through this rough patch !8 -

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.

6/30: One of the best tips I got here right at the very beginning was: "travel scale"! I used it on my last 2 shorter trips, and it's been a great help here. Martha's Vineyard is notorious for freshly baked treats and homemade ice cream; I'm sure that's what's tripped me up in the past. Sticking to breakfast at the inn, a small snack and dinner has worked so far. The restaurants here are excellent- locally sourced fresh veggies, lots of fresh fish/seafood- so it's also very easy to find good food without feeling "deprived".
Oh- and my cocktail choices have moved to simpler/lighter too; either Sangria with club soda (not sprite), or Prosecco instead of "fruity" drinks. Probably better for my head too :-)8 -

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?

/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.
6/28: 222.2
/no logging; exercised; 70 oz water/
Well, I seem to be camping on a plateau.
6/29: 220.8
/nope, not fully; some exercise; 70 oz water/
I accomplished a lot yesterday, just not a lot toward my health goals.
6/24: 220.4
SW on day before this round.
6/30: 220.2
/logged and over budget; no real exercise; 80 oz water/
Below starting weight at least. I was set to do a little exercise by bush trimming yesterday, then DW and I decided to consider doing it today when it is 20 degrees cooler.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.7 -
@_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…
@Chapter_3 Thanks, I found one close by. Checking the price, but I will bet it is way more than what you are getting it for. We shall see.5 -

115-118 Ultimate Goal Weight
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.
6/30:121.2 💥Yeah! Played in a Pickleball kid of tournament Saturday, so burned a lot of calories. Went out to lunch and split my lunch into 2 meals. Did enjoy some wine last night as I continue to shred so much paperwork. Impressed myself with how well I have organized this massive amount of useless paperwork, that I should have disposed of years ago. Eeks but now struggling, with kids report cards? Essays? Eeks! Had to move on to the laundry room and look at all my cleaning supplies- Again with the many bottles of windex, and other misc bottles of cleaner for a specific need.

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.

June 30 - 174.0 - I'm surprised I wasn't up, or maybe I was on the verge of a drop had I not made cheese crackers. My plan (which is really me lying to myself since I know I can't control myself) was to eat a few as a snack each day, but, of course, I ate almost all of them yesterday. I don't berate myself for it any longer (which is a NSV) nor use it as an excuse to continue to eat out of control today. I just try to learn from it. Here's to a really good day with lots of water. Have a wonderful Sunday, everyone!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

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.

6/25 209.2
6/26 210.6 Not surprised by this. Had a craving for late night ice cream and didn’t hit my water goal for the day. Pretty sure there’s some hormonal water retention too.
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.

Day. Weight. Comments.
6/25 - 197
It’s supposed to rain all morning, so I have some fun indoor activities planned—rearrange my yarn storage, and maybe declutter my closet.😊
6/26 - 197.2
6/27 - 197.2
6/28 - 197.2
Gotta give my body credit—she sure can hold onto weight. Jeesh.
6/29 - 196.6
Finally. I had lots of raw veggies yesterday—Thai summer roll with 2 skewers satay chicken for lunch, and a nice big tossed salad with some black beans for dinner. Planning salad for lunch today and grilled chicken with some veggie for dinner.
6/30 - 195.8
I’m doing much better with resisting snacks, and although that eliminates just a little here and a little there, it obviously adds up. I did a lot of digging yesterday, trying to dig up the wire basket left from a tree we had removed. It’s gorgeous out today, so I’m planning a walk on the greenway along the Maumee River this afternoon. I thought I’d share a few more garden shots this morning—hope you don’t mind.

Jude, 67 YO, 5'-2"
Started 1/1/24 at 147; have been as high as 165 lbs
Working on stabilizing my weight between 124-126(ish)
Starting weight 1/1/24: 147
Julia, when I started here in Round 6 or so I had the goal of getting back to my WW goal of 136 and never thought I’d get to 125. Then when I got to 125 I was ecstatic! I was truly surprised that I kept losing until I got to 117. I was going to the gym regularly and felt terrific! Unfortunately, I’ve gained after some very stressful events, one of which lasts another 16 months. Now I’m back to striving for 125. Thank you to you and @Chapter_3 Carolyn for your inspiring posts.
Also thanks to @fmfdfa2020 and @Skyleen75!3 -
@Anabirgite When I went through “tons” of stuff several years ago I set aside one box that I put all of our girls report cards and other papers which I had held onto in. In hindsight, I should have separated them into 2 smaller boxes. The “girls” are now 53 and 51 and live 1200 miles apart!2

41, Female, 5'7", generally active & trying to rein in the eating . Mini goal to be under 220 by my vacation in mid-September. I appreciate the accountability of this group!
6/25 - 229
6/26 - 227.8
6/27 - 227.2
6/28 - 227
6/29 - 229.5
6/30 - 232 - HELLO WATER RETENTION. That’s just rude . I can feel it in my feet. I did log yesterday but it also involved lunch with my BF’s family at a Philly cheesesteak place. I kept to just one half of the sandwich and no sides but it was still a HUGE sandwich to begin with. I made a batch of black bean soup in the afternoon, which we ate for dinner. This was likely part of the culprit with salt. Going to focus on water today and logging my food. Walk and farmers market this morning. Plus some heavy lifting yard work in the afternoon. Tomorrow I have to leave for an overnight trip for work. I’ll pack my travel yoga mat so I can work out in my hotel room. Traveling is always tricky….but I’ll make sure to check in here. Thanks again for this accountability group! I love reading all your posts.

Thank you! What a great idea, I am going to do that...I just kind of walked away yesterday and moved on to the laundry room and under kitchen sink-I thought I would just handle the easy stuff especially as I wait for the final answer if sale is going thru.4
