    Day/Weight/Comment
    08/03 …..190.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

    08/14 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW )

    08/15 -190.8- (Trend weight 190.3)

    08/16 -191.4- (Trend weight 190.7)

    08/17 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW )

    08/18 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW )

    08/19 -192.2- (Trend weight191.1)

    08/20 -189.4- (Trend weight 190.9 )

    08/21 -187.0- (Trend weight190.5)

    08/22 -189.8- (Trend weight190.5) Well I guess it’s pretty clear that my weight will drop down dramatically to what is probably my true weight when I take my Lasix and will jump up just as dramatically on the days that I don’t which reflects all the fluid that pools around my calves, tummy and ankles due to my heart issues. It’s so hard to tell how much is real fat gain when this happens because I have only been stopping the pill when I need to travel or be away from home for any length of time. So how much is the fluid which I can visually see and feel and how much is the restaurant lunch out and all the car sitting/lack of movement? It’s frustrating, but y’all are bound to see me on this rollercoaster. Thanks for riding it with me! As we end this week today it does make my numbers a little meaningless. I do hate that. The whole point is to be accountable and where do you begin when you don’t even know where you are truly at? The fluid fluctuates at 1.5 go 5.0 pounds on any given day and is inconsistent! All I can do is know that I need to lose more weight and keep plugging away even though I can’t rely on the numbers to really mean anything. I have a stretch here of non-Lasix days, yesterday for the far medical testing and specialist appointment, today as I will be gone most of the afternoon with my two oldest DGS’s getting their haircuts and taking them out to lunch, and Saturday for a DGD’s birthday party about an hour from here where there will be all the usual party fare. So I will be bloated for sure and unable to take the Lasix all of those days. It’s not just about what I do or don’t eat anymore or how much I will be sitting. On Sunday my plan is to stay home, take the medication and spend all day in the bathroom, but being home will give me a chance to really watch my diet too. I will aim for IF and a very low carb and low calorie day although Foodie daughter will be here. I am going to warn her, threaten her if I have too LOL.

    08/23 -190.0- (Trend weight190.4) Neurologist called and said I have borderline damage from diabetes to my feet. He said that was good news. No surgery or treatments necessary at this time. I don’t need to see him again unless problems get worse. Finally some good news! Another good tidbit, I’m down 0.6 for the round. It’s just half a pound but it’s progress in the right direction. I know I can do better, I still have to work on the snack issues, but I’m so happy to see any loss. While I’m still on the struggle bus with many of you, my attitude is good and I’m really appreciating all the support. Tomorrow is a birthday party so I will try to make today a good day since I’m finally home all day. I started with my Youtube workout this morning which is a step in the right direction. What I can, when I can and always striving for improvement! See you next round.

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    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

    Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

    8/14 132.0
    8/15 132.0
    8/16 132.5 Finally TMI! Fasting (except for my version of Bullet proof coffee) until we go to Golden Corral at 3-ish. DH has committee meeting from 10-3, I have nail appointment at 11:15. What an exciting day! LOL🤪🤪
    8/17 133.5 I ate all the carbs at Golden Corral yesterday afternoon! My upper leg was really hurting when I went to bed and it took what seemed like hours to get to sleep.
    8/18 133.5 Great Greek today with family (steak and salad)
    8/19 133.0 Meals planned and logged for the day
    8/20 133.0 I wanted chocolate last night but have none of the one I like(Sam’s Choice 90% Cacao) but Hershey bar DH bought me as a “reward” is in the fridge and I DIDN’T EAT IT!!! Yay me!
    8/21 133.0 Community bingo tonight with pizza for dinner. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Leave the crust, just eat the toppings. There is a small piece of leftover rib eye steak in the fridge, maybe I’ll eat that before we go to bingo.
    8/22 134.5 I didn’t eat the steak but I did eat the pizza. Different brand and too much bread with too little toppings. Pizza, potato chips, watermelon and ice cream sandwiches. Carbs anyone?? Glad I hadn’t eaten all day - did have one keto shake at 10 am. Catching up on posts and keep getting kicked off MFP. Will try to post later. Finally got on!
    8/23 133.0 Pleased with this after Carborific dinner at bingo Wednesday night.

    RND 267 SW 207.4 EW DNW
    RND 268 SW 208.2 EW 203.8
    RND 269 SW 203.8 EW TBD

    Goals:
    📊Weight is just a number to track data
    🥩Increase my protein intake
    🚰🏋️‍♀️Maintain water and exercise

    8/14 203.8 I recalculated my macros last night. My calories increased along with me protein intake. I was struggling to hit 95g of protein a day and now I need 162g. I used MFP calculations, but the data set was wrong. So we’ll see how I do with the new guidelines.

    8/15 202.8 20 pounds lost!!

    8/16 203.0 I had LASIK surgery yesterday and found out I can’t lift weights for a week. I can do light exercise after 3 days. The fact that I was bummed about this was kind of a win for me. Exercise has become something I look forward to every day as a stress reliever.

    8/17 204.0 Hormonal bloat. Hopefully will reach onderland by the end of the month once the water weight drops off.

    8/18 205.7 yuck

    8/19 205 Hoping this is the beginning of the slide back down.

    8/20 204.6

    8/21 204.3 It’s always slower going back down than up. It’s like when the bank puts a hold on a charge and it takes them 7-10 days to return it. My body doesn’t need the interest on bloat!

    8/22 203.8

    8/23 204.2 I can feel the water retention. I’m seeing trends when my DH is home from work that it’s easier to eat junk food. I need to be more intentional about the choices I’m making since I’m not even enjoying the less-than-nutritional food.

    8/17. 135.5. 👣✏️🚫

    8/18. 134.5. 👣✏️🚫

    8/19. 135.0. 👣✏️💧🚫

    Round 269: 164.5 lbs (-2.2)

    I stopped trying to lose weight after Round 254 and disappeared from here to take a break and just try maintaining for a while. I find trying to lose weight takes a lot of mental energy for me and I just needed a long rest until I could get back into the right head space. I gained 4 pounds while trying to maintain but most of that was in the last 2 weeks. I am slowly slipping back into bad habits so I decided to return to holding myself accountable here.

    This is the usual just-getting-started drop. It will be interesting to see how much my initial drop is.

    8/20: 164.2 lbs

    8/21: 164.5 lbs

    8/22: 164.2 lbs

    8/23: 164.5 lbs
    A 2.2 lb loss for me this round. I know that is just the initial drop I get when I lower my food intake for the first time in a long time. The next round will be where the work really starts.

    Ended this round with an upswing, but I've been doing everything right. All signs point to water retention, which is real as a 51 year old woman.

    Round 270
    August 24 – Sept 2, 2024

    62 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).

    SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
    SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
    SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
    GW Maintaining between 124 - 126

    Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.

    History:
    Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a two grandsons. We have two parents, 87(mother), 85(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse (father has since passed and I am DPOA, Personal representative AKA executor, trustee, and oversee the majority of my mother’s care). A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

    SW: 135.8

    Day/Weight/Comment

    8/24 – 135.2 Very happy surprise. In the past I have often found that a pasta dinner results in an uptick the following day, even if the calories are on target.

    So, as of yesterday, I have a new reason to work on my nutrition and habits. Some of you who were here, may remember that in May 2023 I went to DEXAFit for a scan. Goal was to learn body fat, but it also came back with bone density data. It came back with a score of 1.0. I was quite chuffed (I think that’s the right word) about that, and felt validated in my life choices. Well the bubble popped yesterday. I had the radiology department based screening. After the scan, I showed her the DEXAFit printouts and she looked highly confused. Long story short, the medical community puts me at a -2.0 hip and -1.9 for spine. These are osteopenia numbers. So glad I asked for a verification of my fantastic number, or I would be continuing to coast along not questioning my habits. It is making it clear that not all calories are created equal, even if you can lose weight while eating them (cough…Ben and Jerry’s….cough). So I am going to be wrapping my head around focusing on nutrition, and maybe as a consequence I don’t cut my calories quite as hard while trying to trim weight. I need to think about my daytime food choices, and I need to get me exercise back in place. I am looking into grabbing a weighted walking vest to make my walks (that I need to get back to) more of a weight bearing exercise. I am so glad that the scan was supposedly “free”. I will see if that is true. But according to the billing department, everyone is allowed an annual free done density screening. Now, that I am “diagnosed” with a condition, it would ironically not be a screening, and I believe that going forward it will not be free. Anyone else addressing this issue as well?

    DS is beginning to look at wedding venues, so I do also want to look good in a dress. They are looking at fall 2025, so I have a year.

    30 min walk using 130 – 140 BPM

    8/25 – 135.8 Back to the starting number. I did eat thoughtfully and estimated tracking implies that I was under on calories, but who really knows when you are guessing provided food. I WENT FOR A WALK yesterday. Yes, I meant to write it in caps. Were any of you with me in the UAC challenge? (@UTmom81 were you with me?) Anyhow, I was doing it and this group simultaneously at one point in time. There was an aspect from that challenge that I am going to try incorporating, and that is 20 minutes of INTENTIONAL exercise OF ANY SORT each day. I remember from back then, 20 minutes was possible, even if I have to break it up into two 10 minutes to work it into my day. I am going to try working on the quality of my food choices, not just the overall calories. I need to stop yo-yoing.

    Tonight, we are having neighbors over and I need to put something out. Been trying to come up with a nice offering, that will not have dangerous leftovers, and might have some healthful aspect. I have decided on Macarons (purportedly Target’s frozen macarons are great), with fresh grapes, and chocolate covered almonds. There will also be wine, coffee and espresso.

    8/26 – 135.8 Well, I’m willing to accept the number. Our neighbor visit was nice but odd. We planned the visit over a week in advance and set the time for 7 pm. They come, we are having engaging conversation and at 8 pm I see the husband looking at his watch. They “need to be home by 8:15 because their daughter is going to call”. Sometimes I just don’t understand people. Anyhow, I ended up finding a way to binge after they left.

    On my intentional exercise, I missed yesterday (can come up with my excuses), so my plan today is to do two separate intentional exercise sessions to compensate. Not perfect solution, but I am accepting it.

    30 min slow flow yoga Apple TV+, will do a second something later in the day :)
