    @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." Oh, the stories I bet you could tell from those days... <3

    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.

    EW Rnd 263: 124.6
    SW Rnd 263: 124.4

    6/28: lots of exercise, rainy morning at the Y, then beautiful afternoon with tennis outdoors. Great day, ate delicious fish tacos and freshly caught oysters. And that fluctuation settled down; food choices do matter!

    @judefit1 What a beautiful place to walk. After all these years of being in Maine, I have never been to Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, or Nantucket. Your picture and posts about your vacation make me want to go soon. It sounds like a fabulous time you are having.

    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!

    We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

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

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

    We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

    6/25 134.5 🤷‍♀️ I think I’m stressed about dental work tomorrow. Didn’t sleep well last night.
    6/26 134.5 Had Mexican yesterday but only ate a handful of chips and half of my chimichanga. I have developed a serious case of nerves about today’s dental appointment. Prayers would be greatly appreciated.
    6/27 134.5 ⭐️Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Anti-anxiety medicine helped too but I was more than a little loopy.
    6/28 135.0 Golden Corral last night and an adult beverage after. I seem to have skipped yesterday altogether. Again, thank you for your prayers.

    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.
