    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 269 (my 199th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.

    Not proud of my continual cycle of good few days followed by days of binge and scrambling to recover. Yet again I am starting again to try to overcome this, fingers crossed I’ll manage it this time. There is just over 4 weeks to my holiday, a pound a week would make me very close to where I want to be, so that is my goal for the next 3 rounds. I’ve done it before, I CAN do it again if I remain strong.
    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.

    Updated 20.08.24 – I met up with DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info 😞. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available.
    This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to over indulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 66 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so jeopardize that luck.

    F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean P:E (Proteing> (Cg+Fg) Greater than 1:1 ratio. A clean/whole food WOE. Track macros, all fitness and NSVs. I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food my entire life.

    Weight 🎢 since high school! Ranging 120-172 for 45+ years. SEVEN sizes in my closet. HW 172lbs in 2010. “Always dieting”. Lost 30lbs in 2014 to 130. More crazy🎢 for 10yr. Joined JGMTD R231 7/31/23. Lost 15lbs in 4 mos. Finally said goodbye FOREVER to the 🎢! I’ve named my journey #HSF (Healthy/Strong/Fit) & On my way to
    📣#bestshapeofmylife📣
    “Maintenance” has not EVER worked for me. Had to recognize and admit that I have some type of food addiction.

    I need to push to be actively improving mind, body & spirit. Otherwise, I become mindlessly complacent. Now, a perpetual self-improvement program that I am sincerely enjoying.

    In order to stay focused I must continue to track all measures. Missing a day here or there is NBD but if I hit three days in a row, I need to turn around and get back on this journey full-stop!

    Didn’t eat very much yesterday but good protein - duck eggs and venison. Delicious!! Late lunch of greek yogurt chicken salad- yummy too. Late night 🎾 and opted for no dinner. Dumb.… Solid🏋️‍♀️session yesterday. 🚶‍♀️to grocery in 100°. Felt good actually.

    Rest day today.

    ⚖️ scale ups and downs are more than quizzical. It’s getting to the point where I have simply no idea what the scale will read….. Another chapter in my journey! Onward!

    Errands, DGS… low-key, energizing day. Delicious rib-eye for dinner. Consistent IF (noon-6pm).

    Flu-ish starting around 10AM… Last night was awful. I’m hoping for a better day, but I am going to lay low.

    8/17⚖️129.4
    🚫Level Up! 🚫 another sick day. Yesterday:🚶‍♀️2.1k 💤 8hrs
    No tracking. Little eating. I felt a little better, but was unable to do anything. Not sure about today. Accepting it is what it is.

    8/18⚖️130.0
    🚫Level Up! 🚫 another sick day. Yesterday:🚶‍♀️5k 💤 7hrs
    Walked 30 min. No tracking. Little eating. 💦good.

    I’m determined to get out of the house today - at least try some thing. Definitely feeling better than yesterday. Each day a little bit better!

    8/19⚖️132.0
    🚫Level Up! 🚫 another sick day. Yesterday: 🎾,🚶‍♀️6k 💤 8hrs

    I’m not even going to try to understand the scale. Obviously, no routine. First night I slept through the night in almost a week. I played tennis for about 90 minutes yesterday. Took it easy the rest of the day. My head weighs only 1000 pounds this morning instead of 10,000 pounds… I’m going to try and pretend like I’m 100% healthy today. Will track all measures. Enough is enough.

    ✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday:🚶‍♀️10k 💤8hrs, & 🎾
    P:E = 1.5:1, P= 106g

    Much better day! I hit all measures except 🏋️‍♀️. I’m at that point where I sound much, much worse than I feel… So I’m definitely almost there! This morning Im super puffy… Not understanding that but it’s minor.

    Slept awful and forgot to weigh @ my normal time. Still dragging but making myself go through all the motions. Will focus on plenty of electrolytes 💦💦💦 today and attempt 🏋️‍♀️.
