    @Chapter_3 Thanks for sharing those excellent words of wisdom! I think your second quote/image may be quite pertinent to me these days. I am frequently in a negative mood due to being close to coordinator for my mom and everything relating to her. Note, I am NOT an only child.

    @SheilaBoneham I am so sorry you are having such a challenging time. I have only thing that comes to my mind, and I am pretty sure I shared it before and you were confident it would not work for you. That is the possibility of eating too little. the scariest instruction I ever had to give out to my WW members was to eat more, and I cannot tell you how often there was a thank you the following week. My only other old WW suggestion inaccuracy of tracking, which I would be shocked if that was you. Has your doctor run any bloodwork to explain this issue?

    @Chapter_3 bahahaha!!! We really do need a laugh button. I’m going to follow your lead and try not putting myself in social situations that are just pure suffering!!!
    I am happy to report I live about 85% of life with a sunny outlook and positive attitude! lol sometimes my husband wants to murder me for it but he mostly knows it’s what creates the magic bubble of our life together.
    @SModa61 it just dawned on me what UAC you referenced is! I participated for two years back when I lost my original 100lb. It’s a great group. I have fond memories of a woman in the southern hemisphere who worked at an aquarium and shared the most delightful stories!!!

    I'm Julie, 35F, 5'3, SAHM to toddler twins. Trying to get my life together to be the best mom possible to them.

    RSW: 157.1

    8/24: 157.7. Normal fluctuations. I went on a couple of small walks yesterday, but nothing major. Eating was okay, apart from the larger than necessary snack on Doritos. Dinners are planned for next week, going grocery shopping today. Now, I feel like I have the basics of eating with intention (mostly) and adding a bit of casual walking into my life. So now I need to take it to the next level and be a bit more focused on actual calories.

    8/25: 158.1. Yesterday wasn't a great day, food wise, but wasn't horrible. Anxiety was acting up a bit. I tried to keep the eating in check, but then my husband comes home from a fantasy football draft with a bunch of food, proudly declaring he brought me food. So I ate a little, even though I had already had dinner. And now we have a bunch of leftovers that we don't need for me to munch on. Oh boy.

    8/26: 157.5. Another meh day yesterday, nothing too major to report on. My husband did offer to put the boys to bed sometimes, which would allowe to get to the gym a little earlier. That would be very helpful, since I have found that I have no energy left after 8. Even pushing it up by an hour would help a lot to get me there.

    8/27: 157.7. I feel like I have found my maintenance calories, as I'm just bouncing around the same poundish range. Now I just need to cut them back a little. I've noticed that I tend to have a few extra bites while feeding my kids- a handful of crackers with them, a few bites of their toast they don't finish, steal a couple spoonfuls of Mac and cheese because I like it, etc. I think that's a simple enough way to cut out a few calories to start. Probably not enough for real changes, but enough I feel like I need to, so that's going to be my next step I'm going to focus on.

    8/28: 156.5. Yesterday was a good day, food wise.. I really focused on intentional eating. I tracked my food, which I've been having a hard time doing lately. I even threw away a highish calorie drink that I didn't like, instead of finishing it anyway, when I decided it wasn't worth the calories.

    8/29: 158.1. I thought I did okay yesterday, so I'm not sure where this little bump came from. Im getting a little frustrated so I guess I need to reevaluate and do something different.

    R270SW: 137.4 (late start)
    RGW: 135.4
    UGW: 125

    8/26 - 137.4. Glad I remembered to weigh today! This is my last week of freedom before I re-enter corporate America next week. Had a leisurely ebike ride to take my youngest to daycare to start the day. I think my only other exercise today will be a dog walk. My more important task is getting meals planned and shopped for for the week. I had a dinner planned last week that I didn’t cook, so now I’m thinking I’ll cook that for my own lunches this week. Thanks for having me back and I’ll stick around this time!
    8/27 - 137.2. Yesterday I ended up taking the dogs on a nearly 4 mile hike instead of our normal 30 minute walk, so that was good for all of us. Today I’ll lift. I’m doing the StrongLifts 5x5 program at the gym. My appetite has been down as I get over this awful daycare cold my son brought to me. That’s actually part of the reason I decided to restart. Seemed like a good opportunity to reset my habits, which usually include plenty of snacks and near-daily beer drinking. I’ve been interested in neither since Friday. That plus we’re going to Puerto Rico in December and I want to be confident in my swimsuit. Realized this is about the latest I could start if I want to be 125ish by then.

    8/28 - 137.6. Not what I wanted or expected during my first week back, but my body could be holding on to some water. I’ve been pretty good about meeting activity and calorie goals. I just started heavy-ish lifting again, and I’m still getting over this cold, both of which I think can lead to some water retention in my experience. So I’ll stay the course! And increase my water intake. Today I e-biked my kid to school again which isn’t a big burner but at least gets me outside. My only other activity will be walking the dogs again. It’s in the 90s again today so I’d better hop to it! Happy hump day, all!

    8/29 - 138.2. My body seems to have missed the memo on what we’re trying to do here. I ended up even getting some extra activity yesterday when a friend asked me to go for a walk in the afternoon. I did go out to dinner, but I had an ahi tuna salad. Maybe it was saltier than I thought. I did do better on the water. Today is weight lifting day, and I’ll also walk the dogs. My 3yo also made me e-bike him to school. If this cold ever goes away I’ll add in some more strenuous cardio again.

    Thanks for responding. If I consistently ate very low calories for an extended time, I would agree, but this has only been a few days low at a time, then a higher day. I’ve spoken to my doctor, but she didn’t have much to offer. I’m thinking of seeing a dietitian, both for weight loss ideas and gut issues, although the last dietitian I saw put me on the very restricted elimination diet that I’m certain messed up my metabolism big time. I confess, I have limited confidence in the pros! Anyway, I appreciate your input. I think my tracking is pretty accurate, but I am thinking of being more rigorous about measuring and weighing my food.

    @SheilaBoneham Sheri repeated herself and I will do the same. I believe when you did the elimination thing that you proved that your body was reacting to something you DIDN’T eat during that time. That is how my husband’s elimination diet worked and that is how I learned how my body reacts to wheat/flour. Do you remember what you were NOT eating when you lost then? Eliminate one food at a time for a week and see if it makes a difference. I’m NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL, this is based on my own experience.

    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)

    "Do or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

    Comments pertain to previous day

    SW Rnd 270 133.0
    8/24 134.0 After carefully logging what I intended to eat yesterday at a Mongolian grill we ended up at friends’ favorite-Golden Corral because Genghis Grill was “closed for repairs.” 🤦‍♀️ I had fasted since dinner the night before or this could have been worse!
    8/25 133.0 Great Greek today. Will get a skewer and skip the salad. I have more nutritious vegetables at home.
    8/26 133.0 My carbs were high yesterday due to 3 RS SF candies - according to the package, 3 have 27 grams of TOTAL carbs and I have my daily limit set to 25! Read before you eat!!!!
    8/27 131.5 I stopped at the endocrinologist’s and got my first Prolia shot on the way to my Art Quilts, etc meeting. I really enjoyed the meeting - or the first time in months. I ate leftover steak and Brussels sprouts for OMAD when I got home at 2 (DH had gone to breakfast with friends so I didn’t make dinner)
    8/28 131.5 Yesterday left over steak and broccoli florets. DH was stressed after his meeting and wanted In-n-Out. I didn’t give in and just drank Diet Coke while he ate. He would like Chinese which we haven’t had in a long time. Fortunately it’s early enough in my “food day” that I can TRY to adjust. Will likely be up tomorrow because of Chinese. It’ll be okay, Jaine. 👍👍👍👍👍
    8/29 133.0 The high carb effect as expected.

    08/28 -189.8- (Trend weight190.7) It’s nice to see a drop but felt a little discouraged after going to trendweight.com to find my trend this morning. This was my message:
    You have been tracking your weight for 3.3 years.
    You have 43.7 lbs to lose to reach your goal weight.
    You will reach your goal around October 31, 2038.
    You must cut 470 cal/day to match your plan.
    Humph!
    I gave my screen the middle finger and I haven’t used that gesture in years!!!


    08/29 -190.2- (Trend weight190.7) Up a small bit. My contractor brought in food from the city he’s from yesterday. It was a breakfast pizza all meat, eggs, cheese, and crust but no veggies. I thought it wouldn’t be too bad because it would mainly be carbs. I was wrong apparently. Must be the crust and probably sodium that tipped the scale. Lesson learned. Today will be a well-planned thoughtful day. It’s back to school time this week so I’ll be picking my DGS up from the bus later today. No bus tomorrow morning as there is already a day off with no school. Contractor is finishing my large deck off my patio door in the main part of the house. It’s 15 x 28. Rain tomorrow so he will begin the process of staining it next week. He’s going to be building another small “coffee deck” off the sliding patio door in my bedroom soon. We absolutely have to take advantage of the weather-related projects right now since we are in Northern Michigan and fall/winter is coming soon. My roofing supplies are being delivered shortly after labor day and another team will be tackling that. In the meantime, I continue to sleep on my bed sitting in the middle of my living room. I am getting extremely impatient but know we have to work with the weather first.

    8/24: 167.6 lbs
    I ate all the things yesterday. I think I restricted too much when I restarted last round which led to a massive binge. I am disappointed but at least I came back here to hold myself accountable. I was hoping to avoid calorie counting but I think I will start it up again.

    8/25: 165.8 lbs
    Back on track today. I ate on budget and exercised.

    8/26: 165.8 lbs
    It was a hungry day for me so I ate back all my exercise calories.

    8/27: 165.1 lbs
    I ate within budget but didn't exercise.

    8/28: 164.5 lbs
    Back to where I started this round. I ate within budget and exercised at moderate intensity for a total of 2 hours over the day.

    8/29: 164.2 lbs
    I exercised for around 1.5 hours over the day. I ended up eating back all my exercise calories though because I didn't want to end up too hungry afterwards.

    Goals:
    ⚖️Weekly weigh-in rather than daily (Wednesday)
    🔥Daily accountability for macros and active calorie burn
    💧Get back to drinking 80-100oz of water


    This round (and maybe going forward) daily posts will journal whether I’m meeting my goals. Will only add weight on Wednesday. Comments will be for day before.

    8/24 Didn’t drink enough water yesterday, missed active calorie burn, did well with macros until unplanned trip to the movies with popcorn,twizzlers, and ice cream.

    8/25 💧🔥 Hit my water and macros yesterday. Thanks to a late night quick workout I made my active calorie burn goal as well.

    8/26 💧🔥Had a busy day with brunch with my family, yard work, and getting ready for the week. Hit all my goals.

    8/27 💧🔥 Another late night and I managed to avoid snacking. Did a million loads of laundry, too. All in all, a good day.

    8/28 204.4 🔥 Didn’t keep track of water yesterday, which is pretty much a given that I didn’t meet that goal. Work was busy. I think maybe I need to set alarms when I’m busy to remind myself to get up and move, drink water, etc.

    8/29 🔥💧 I met my active calorie burn goal, but just barely. Didn’t get many steps in due to working at the office and the heat. It’s been so hard to get out and walk with 100+ degree temperatures. Just going to keep on keeping on. Also didn’t sleep well last night. Hoping to catch up tonight.
