8/4 169.0 I honestly don’t understand this uptick. I had a very active day yesterday and ate only 1100 calories of mostly high protein food. Hoping for a swoosh soon, but Dad is back in the hospital and I’m here with him this morning so food and exercise will be atypical today.
8/5 167.8 I managed the hospital cafeteria well. There were several high protein choices and I was able to stay away from all the sweets which are 80% of their offerings. I’ve never understood why the food choices at hospitals are so unhealthy! I did go home last night and took a pill to help me sleep (not something I do very often), so I’m rested this morning. Fingers crossed for a better day today for Dad.
8/6 166.6 managed food well again yesterday and got in steps around the hospital but no real exercise. Hope to get Dad back to his Assisted Living today. We did get a diagnosis yesterday—metastatic cancer. Most likely lymphoma. He doesn’t want to pursue treatment at 93, so….
8/7 166.2 Hanging in there. Haven’t really eaten much the last couple days so this is probably an artificial drop.

I joined this group in Rnd 245 on Dec 18 2023, when I realized I was eating my way through the holidays; I finally got on the scale and was hovering just under 150 lbs. It took about 4 months to reach my goal weight of 125. Sounds great, but I’ve done this before, which is why I’m still here.
It’s not just about losing, it’s about changing the habits of a lifetime that keep me stuck in self-defeating cycles with food.

NSV FOR THE WIN!
Nine months ago, I decided I wanted to build my agility/ flexibility/balance/strength, to embrace with vigor my golden years - changing my username to Chapter_3 and a new identity of #HSF (Healthy, Strong, Fit)
I decided what was most important was to age “younger” and to begin a journey toward the
📣 #bestshapeofmylife📣
Well, this morning, just now, everything became real.
I’m walking a brisk pace on the sidewalk and felt my right foot scuff the pavement - I’m going DOWN. I lost my balance but quickly I thought I am NOT going to fall flat on my face - just gently catch myself, tuck and roll. OMG. The first thing I did was look to see if anyone was around because I was mortified and completely embarrassed that I had almost fallen flat on my face & broken several bones in my body… But instead, I just have a tiny little scuff mark on my right knee (and dirty shirt/shorts)!
This is my WHY. I picked myself up, brushed myself off and started all over again - finishing 5 miles in 70 min. Not bad for an old MawMaw! I even stopped to smell the roses 🌹💪🏻🙌🏻👊🏻
Last year I would’ve pulled or broken something & turned around and walked home crying… I would’ve gone to the ER. But instead, I’m writing you my BEST NSV to date!
If I can keep going so can you!!!

08/05 -188.2- (Trend weight 189.6)
08/06 -189.2- (Trend weight 189.6) I did end up eating a very late dinner last night (about midnight). So I’m flip-flopping that same pound back and forth. I travel Wednesday which will probably affect Thur. weigh-in. I also travel Friday which will likely affect Sat. weigh-in. It will be a volatile week but I will try to make wise food choices since the exercise front will be greatly affected. I really, really, really would love to do good this round in spite of it all.
08/07 -188.2- (Trend weight 189.5) My weight keeps bouncing around the same exact pound—188.2 to 199.2 and then back. Weird pattern! At least my trend weight keeps creeping down. Today I travel for dental cleanings for myself and son, then meeting my contractor in that town for roof supply shopping at a big box home improvement store. I’ll take him to lunch afterward. I’ll choose wisely. It’s so much easier to order in front of other people LOL. Have a great hump day everyone.

Starting weight: 160.9
8/5: 160.9. Starting weight.
8/6: 160.6. Tiring day, this is a busy week for us. On top of several appointments, our water heater started leaking. The plumber came and said we had to get the stand that it sits on replaced before he will put a new one in. Since we rent, we are at the mercy of our landlord for how quickly we can do that. There's always something. My eating wasn't great yesterday, but I tried to control it a bit. I'm not doing much for exercise right now, but I'm planning to start adding it in soon.
8/7: 158.8. Yesterday's goal was to log food. I wasn't really focusing on staying under my calorie goal, but I find just holding myself accountable for the food I eat tends to result in eating a bit more focused. As I result, I was under my calorie goal.

🚰🏋️♀️Maintain water and exercise
8/4 208.2 The last week played havoc on my mental health. Between the stress of a sick cat, job woes, and frustration with this journey I found myself in a spiral this weekend. Yesterday I was close to throwing in the towel and giving up. This morning on my walk with the dog I reminded myself this is not something to “give up” because I’m making changes that will last forever. That means a rough week doesn’t negate all of the progress I’ve made over the last 3 months. I need to recognize the struggles and work through them this week. It’s a new month and new round with a new daily mantra reminding myself that the scale does not determine success. I do.
8/5 205.6 Decided I needed a better measurement than the scale to check my progress. I went to the thrift store and bought jeans in smaller sizes. When I got home I tried them on just to see how they fit, expecting all of them to be too small. To my surprise, one of the pairs actually fit. It was a little tight, but I’d wear them and feel good in them. My DH called the clothes my victory clothes and I’m in agreement with him. It felt like a victory putting on a pair of jeans that was 3 sizes smaller than the shorts I’d had on.
8/6 205.4 Went through my closet last night and tried on some of the clothes I’ve shoved in the back because I didn’t like how they looked on me (or I didn’t like how I felt wearing them). Added some to the donation pile because I still don’t like them and there’s no need to keep them. Kept a few because I put them on and felt good. I looked good.
8/7 205.4 I’m good with this considering I ate Cheez Its around 1am. Talk about late night binge.5 -

8/4 132.0 I slept wrong and have a tweaked muscle in my upper back. My wake up h/a is gone, Fosamax taken and coffee consumed. DH wants to go to the gym “early” but is still sleeping. I prefer the gym in the early afternoon. Today’s high is supposed to be 113.
8/5 132.5 Awake @4:28AM - too darn early. The bump is from the churro I ate at El Pollo Loco on Saturday evening. My muscle is still tweaked but I plan to go to the gym anyway.
8/6 132.0 Gym was good. Walked, cycled, hip machines, row, back extension, chest - 52 minutes on my HRM. Nothing seems to be sore today. I am craving GARLIC! Do you think I’m pregnant? LOL
8/7 133.0 My own “fault” - dealing with depression (his and mine) and I’m tired of guessing what he will want to eat when I would be happy with hamburgers (no buns) every day. We went to Taco Bell for the first time in about 7 years. Cheap, filling, and anything but low carb! Teeth cleaning today. Gotta get my act together!
Got caught up on posts then lost my internet signal. 🤦♀️ The wind was howling last night and continues this morning.6 -

R262 Weight Lost: 2.8 lbs
R268 Starting Weight: 181.4
It's been almost 10 years of "reasons" as to why I can't lose weight, and I'm tired of my own excuses.
I am here to take back control of my life, 10 days at a time.
8/4: - DNW. Went out for a nice breakfast and then out to a music festival. A whole lot of good food and a whole lot of walking in 100 degree heat. Was a great day though!
8/5: 181.4 - N/A
8/6: 180.0 - I did the 10 day challenge quite a bit ago and it was amazing! There was a lot that happened in the past two months, but it's been a week of sticking to workouts and I feel quite better in my headspace. I am only holding myself back from a future of self-love and accomplishment, and I want to not feel embarrassed around people anymore.
8/7: 179.8 - Getting sick again. I swear this summer is just crazy amounts of me being sick.

8/4. 137.0. The highest I have been in seven months! 👣✏️
8/5. 136.3. Hit the gym for some bonus points today. Starting this round off on a better note. 🏋️♀️👣✏️
8/6. 136.9. I let some after 8:00 pm snacking get the better of me last night and was still short on water intake. Made it to the gym and did a 2 mile walk with my dog. Was totally on target with everything today! 🏋️♀️👣✏️💧🚫
8/7. 134.8. See what following the plan can do! Now I just need to do it again. One day at a time! Made it to the gym 3 days in a row! 🏋️♀️👣✏️7 -

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 268 (my 198th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
I’ve been MIA the last few days, been so busy!! We have been at The British Transplant Games; little DGS took part in the under 5’s events, DH & I volunteered. Such an amazing heartwarming event for transplant recipients, donors and their families, all of us there have so similar stories, it is one big family. My food over these days has been totally off, now need to get back in the saddle (to quote _JeffreyD_ 😊).
Goals for this round;
• First and foremost, 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.*****

@Chapter_3 My last market is October 3rd! I recently applied for a job with the village. It’s a bummer but after this years visit with my spinal dr, my husband has convinced me I can’t garden all day forever so I’m going to keep bopping along for now but I’m being open to inside employment (ugh). Anyway, the Mayor’s eyes twinkled with the idea of including running the market as part of job description🤣.
Lol the village might not let me stop so easily!!!
I LOVE your tuck and roll!!!! This is 100% why I go hard in the gym. My workout ladies and I talk about it all the time! Always working on balance and flexibility but the most important thing we can do as we age is strength training!!! You are a hero!!!!!5 -
@Chapter_3 Now THAT is an amazing NSV! So proud of all your hard work and glad you are ok. WooHoo!!!
@quiltingjaine Taco Bell pulls at me every time I drive by one. I their breakfast crunchwraps!
@musicsax I loved seeing your pictures the other day! You look amazing and so does your sweet DGS. I have always admired your commitment to walking and you have kept it up for so long. It stinks when the scales stall, but I'm sure they'll move down for you soon.6 -

8/4 169.0 I honestly don’t understand this uptick. I had a very active day yesterday and ate only 1100 calories of mostly high protein food. Hoping for a swoosh soon, but Dad is back in the hospital and I’m here with him this morning so food and exercise will be atypical today.
8/5 167.8 I managed the hospital cafeteria well. There were several high protein choices and I was able to stay away from all the sweets which are 80% of their offerings. I’ve never understood why the food choices at hospitals are so unhealthy! I did go home last night and took a pill to help me sleep (not something I do very often), so I’m rested this morning. Fingers crossed for a better day today for Dad.
8/6 166.6 managed food well again yesterday and got in steps around the hospital but no real exercise. Hope to get Dad back to his Assisted Living today. We did get a diagnosis yesterday—metastatic cancer. Most likely lymphoma. He doesn’t want to pursue treatment at 93, so….
8/7 166.2 Hanging in there. Haven’t really eaten much the last couple days so this is probably an artificial drop.
8/8 165 I am not eating enough. This is not sustainable, but I’ve just not been hungry. What I have eaten though, is high protein and healthy.

8/5 135.0
✅Level Up! 🚫 no logging or 📝 since Friday 8/2 - I weighed 131.0. Yesterday:🚶♀️8k 💤6hrs
I went off “plan” this past weekend, but did NOT go “off the rails”. When I stepped on the scale I thought, I’m gonna weigh 135 and sure enough I was 100% accurate! I feel like a BLOB.
When I was out with the girls Sat, I was “good” but I drank 2 mezcals w/fresh lime… one piece of Keylime pie. Lots of mineral water… Yesterday we went to lunch with friends - had an “organic” Wagu pita sandwich and an ice cream cone last night. Still, plenty water. Saturday - 🚶♀️10k, 🏋️♀️ And I played three hours of tennis yesterday morn before lunch…. My body simply amazes me. Craves routine, then short-circuits when I choose to take a detour. REVOLUTION! It really is a total system and mine needs routine. I’m guessing it’ll take me three days off 💦💦💦and ROUTINE to remove the bloat. What a way to start a round!!
Will analyze “me” today, track and reset! Just give me EIGHT DAYS!
Let’s go!
8/6 ✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday:🚶♀️12k 💤8hrs, 🏋️♀️20 min
P:E = 2:1, P= 124g
⚖️ I do expect ⚖️to drop more today/tomorrow… I literally saw puffs/pockets of fluid all over my body yesterday. What a trip! I don’t know what I ate that sent me into this zone … Maybe restaurant food, hidden seed-oils, crab boil, inducing wacko- bio-rhythms / “system-failure”. My body is probably saying “what the heck did you do to me?!!!!” To gain 4lbs and lose 2 practically overnight is NOT healthy. And, it didn’t feel good. I felt terrible - not psychologically for “going off plan/routine” but physically. Still coming out of the fog.
Yesterday was a good day re-entering normalcy. Continue to reset today.
NSV: Lesson learned: stick to what works to keep steady/even routine. I also learned that if something is too difficult to track – don’t eat it.
8/7 131.2
✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday:🚶♀️13k 💤7hrs, 🏋️♀️20min 🎾
P:E = 2:1, P= 99g 💦💦💦
I pre-logged nutrition yesterday — then forgot to drink my protein shake… so protein under but ratio good. 💦💦💦 is key.
I’m still in amazement of how I spiked 4lbs and then ⬇️. I am grateful that I understand it was a “systems/routine” conundrum and not what I put in my mouth - only when. 🏋️♀️ heavy yesterday- progressing. Today will be another day getting back in routine. Meeting a dear friend for coffee this morning - visiting with her will be a real treat.

Woke up with a slightly bruised shoulder from the fall … annoying. Cant keep me down.
Did not eat enough yesterday. Needed to eat some protein after tennis but just too tired so I showered and went to bed. Under eating days like yesterday never show up on the scale. 😃😎. Definitely back on routine today.
Night tennis impacts my systems negatively…. But gosh I love it! (Rough sleep & dehydration).
Will have a good day today once I wake up! And ☕️…
PS: 16 years ago today 08/08/08 my DH popped the question…. We are celebrating over coffee this morn and steak 🥩 tonight….
Ahhhhhh the simple life. I’m blessed!4 -

Aug 3 - 167.4 - This is not the way to drop weight!! I've had a stomach virus that started Weds night, and I'm just now able to eat or drink this morning. I'm very dehydrated. This weight is completely bogus. I'm not worrying about my weight for days. I'm just going to slowly start eating and drinking.
After posting the above, I started having severe pain. If I hadn't had kidney stones in the past, I would have thought it was caused from the 3-day stomach virus (which who knows, it might have been why the stone started moving). I ended up in the ER that night writhing in pain. Turned out to be a 8mm stone and it was blocked. My experience with many stones has been that they are extremely painful, but when they are blocked, the pain is just horrific, and there is a high possibly of damage. What made this one even worse was the size. In the past, the pain is unbearable for about 6 hours, then it passes. I never had one so big it would not pass. I was pumped full of opioids, admitted, and had surgery Sunday night to put a stent in to stop any damage from occurring. They couldn't do anything about the stone because of inflamation, so I'm home with some pain, but nothing like the pain I had. I have a Ureteroscopic Laser Lithotripsy next Thursday to remove the blocked one and others that range up to 7mm, and unfortunately a new stent for a short while.
Weighing is useless right now of course. My amazing husband has taken such good care of me and is cooking small, healthy meals, and I'm finally eating a little. @quiltingjaine - thank you for the feel better wishes after my last post . I probably won't post for a couple of weeks, we'll see. Everyone is going thru something. I'm just grateful to be home and not in extreme pain. I hope everyone is doing okay.

First full day back from a trip. Ate better, but my main exercise was pushing buttons on the TV remote watching Olympic stuff. I get totally absorbed in the hopes and dreams part of it, with the follow-on resulting excellence. Why can’t I do that? 😊

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 -
@Chapter_3: Great going with your fall- so glad you're OK, and seeing the benefits of all that hard work!
As the much younger sibling of active seniors (8-18 yrs older) I've seen how living an active life will keep you strong and healthy even when faced with the health issues and the setbacks of aging, compared to friends who've chosen to "embrace being old" and can no longer walk to the mailbox. It's not only me who would suffer, but my children who would need to take care of me.
My oldest brother (85) and his wife (86) still play golf every week- and still travel to see their great grandkids. My youngest brother (74) just did the NYC 5 borough bike tour with his grandkids. My sister (83), a retired nurse, now works part time in a rehab care facility as their intake receptionist. And of course, my brother who is fighting cancer (80 this year) is still riding his mower and helped my partner build a new railing at his house last weekend.
They're my inspiration to keep moving, I have a lot to live up to- and a great example of how to do it7 -

I joined this group in Rnd 245 on Dec 18 2023, when I realized I was eating my way through the holidays; I finally got on the scale and was hovering just under 150 lbs. It took about 4 months to reach my goal weight of 125. Sounds great, but I’ve done this before, which is why I’m still here.
It’s not just about losing, it’s about changing the habits of a lifetime that keep me stuck in self-defeating cycles with food.

* as much exercise as possible this next 10 days
* don’t stress- it’s always busy before a vacation
* weigh every morning, especially when I don't want to
* reminder: a healthful planned snack is great, grazing is not

8/8: and holding steady. 3rd day of rain ahead; yesterday was a soaker all day, so my gardens are happy but my basement is not :-) DP and I did some clearing and resetting of downspout extensions and hopefully that will help temporarily until I can get someone to assess drainage issues. I wanted rain, didn't I?6 -
@fmfdfa2020: Oh my goodness, just saw your post- I'm so sorry for what you're going through, I've heard that kidney stones are incredibly painful. Take care and hope that your surgery goes smoothly!3
