    This round I am going to focus on not eating back exercise calories.

    SW Rnd 271: 164.9 lbs

    9/3: 164.2 lbs
    I got my smart scale to work again after I stopped doing what it was asking me to do and tried something different. Fairly good day although I am struggling to not eat my exercise calories.

    9/4: 164.7 lbs
    Crackers were my downfall.

    9/5: 162.9 lbs
    I actually managed to not eat my exercise calories. Not because of will power but because we ran out of crackers. The crackers are supposed to be for the kids but I tend to get into the "stuff it" mindset late in the day and eat them.

    9/6: 163.8 lbs
    The kids made cookies.
    I ate too many cookies.
    Bittersweet feelings.

    9/7: 164.9 lbs
    Pizza plus AF.

    9/8: 164.9 lbs
    Stuck to my calorie budget and exercised.

    🍏🍎 SW Rnd 271: 135.0 🍎🍏🍎

    Time to get back to the basics that I know can work for me… logging, movement, water and limited snacks. Consistency matters!

    9/3: 135.0. I’ve been taking it easy due to some stitches on my calf that I don’t want to pop open. It’s time to ease back into a consistent routine! 9,100 steps. ✏️

    9/4. 134.2. Got a nice walk in, did some gardening and lots of housework. Was still a tad short on my water intake. 10,360 steps ✏️👣

    9/5. 134.8. Got a decent walk in plus some time at the gym. Also kept under my calorie goal and managed to hit my water goal! AND the insurance company is reimbursing us for our broken pipe under the house! Best news of the last month! 12,600 steps. ✏️👣💧🏋️‍♀️

    9/6. 135.2. Did not hit more step or water goal today. Well do better tomorrow!

    9/7. 135.9. Spent most of the day canning. But did manage to get all my steps and water in! ✏️👣💧

    9/8. 134.9

    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 271 (my 201st). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.

    Not proud of my past record of continual cycle of good few days followed by days of binge and scrambling to recover, still not doing very well, 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.

    9/3 142.4 (trend 141.4) no structured walking, child minding little DGDs; we went panning for gems & fossils!

    9/7 DNW - we are away for the weekend in our caravan at Stourport-on-Severn, when we got here we discovered it is carnival week. 10.6 miles walked yesterday. Trying to get my mojo back, think it's working -slowly!! Or is it that I am with DH who is so strict in what he eats? 🤞 It's the former!!
    9/8 DNW - 13 miles walked, good day food wise.
    9/9 141 – (trend 141.6) Good to see a reduction in both numbers. 6.2 miles walked. Back home.

    👇🏻Sept Level Up (Down) Plan
    ***************************
    I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of Sept:

    1. P:E: Proteing greater than 1:1 vs. Energy g. [Pg > (Cg+Fg)] (and kcals = avg. maintenance).I will continue this nutrition plan through July. It is supposed to support muscle gain with fat loss while 🏋🏼‍♀️🤸🏼‍♀️ 🎾. I will continue to track NSVs/macros/ activities, etc. to learn about my body.
    2. 🙏📝📚🧐 - I will continue to pray, journal, research. This is my aspect of “leveling up” because I am nothing without my relationship w/Jesus Christ. I’ve also grown into loving/enjoying learning about my body & healthy aging. Replacing BAD habits w/ GOOD habits is a journey in itself. This practice helps me stay present /mindful of many decisions/ thoughts/ actions that impact not only nutrition, but improves self-talk & interactions w/others.
    3. 🏋🏼‍♀️this is my biggest challenge. I still don’t like it. Not one bit. I have some days that it clicks, but it’s a daily struggle. Living “fake it till I make it”… Faking my “identity”. My hope is that some 🏋️‍♀️version eventually becomes a healthy habit. I’m working on a minimum of 10-minute “🏋🏼‍♀️snacks” 2-3x per day, 5x per week. Gosh, how I wish someone, ANYONE would have told me in my earlier years that 🏋🏼‍♀️is the key to fat-loss / maintaining - NOT cardio. I was brainwashed.
    4. Healthy Aging - includes mobility, flexibility, balance and agility. While I do stretch every morning plus “stretch snacks”… I want to up this game… I will start to add “sprints” (which is NOW only fast jogging… 😂) and plyometrics (celebrating a 2” vertical jump) 😂. I read to “sprint” is vital as we age…..
    5. I have much “work” to do with family relationships. Won’t detail here, but it’s a challenge & my overall health will not flourish without this being acknowledged and improved. Mind, body & spirit are connected. I won’t be fully content until I reconcile this part of my life.
    6. Sleep- This is a big one. I’m usually fast asleep by 8:30-9PM. I can’t stay up later…. I love getting up early. I’m good with a 5AM wake up but I want to sleep soundly through the night. Will continue to prioritize this key component to health and well-being…
    7. Have fun… lighten up … & give myself permission to be spontaneous. (This is THE HARDEST)!!!!

    👇🏻Review since my 1st R231 7/31/23 NSVs/Journey Reflections
    ******************

    1. ✅HSF: Avg. close to 9k steps per day for 11+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a “daily goal” because it’s now a daily healthy habit - #HSF 👏🏻🤩
    2. ✅#HSF: 🙆‍♀️ Daily stretch greatly improving my attitude & confidence.
    3. ✅ #HSF 📝 🙏 everyday
    4. ✅#HSF: I play 🎾about 4-5x per week.
    5. ✅#HSF : Z2 💕avg 60 min/day
    6. ✅#HSF : zero to 15g of net carbs/ day
    7. ✅Clean P:E 115-130g Protein
    8. ✅#HSF Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM. (At least 5 days/wk)
    9. ✅#HSF 💦80oz daily
    10. ✅#HSF Alcohol limited to rare occasions.
    11. 7 to 8 hours sleep per night is a goal. Sleep is still inconsistent the last few rounds…

    Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.

    Rotating 120g to 130g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable. In my dreams, I want to be 130lbs #HSF … 😎 I want to be Healthy, Strong & Fit to live out “Chapter 3” enjoying a full range of mobility, flexibility & activities… !

    OK I’m confused, but I will record today as my first day of this round and I’m not sure when it ends but I will go with the flow.

    Will reflect today and set R271 action plan.(I thought today was the last day R270 so I’ll make sure I’m all in by tomorrow!)

    My goals for this 10-day round are to return to routine, MFP tracking, #HSF mindset, sleep well, 1.5:1 P:E ratio, 🏋️‍♀️📚🚶‍♀️10k. R270 was a blur…. I want R271 to have focus/meaning. We all know when we have a great, satisfying round and I want that again… My last two rounds have been drifters! Let’s do this! 💪🏻

    9/4 ⚖️130.0
    ✅🚶‍♀️🏋️‍♀️💦📚💤 P:E 1.8:1 Protein= 127g
    Back on routine yesterday! ⚖️Uptick from long weekend vanished. Started the day with 🚶‍♀️5 mile &🏋️‍♀️. 💦& MFP tracking. I had somewhat of an internal battle of wanting to take another day off but made up my mind early to make yesterday a solid jumpstart. Affirmations and keeping my mind CLEAN with positive thoughts made the difference. Today: I have early 🎾 and will track all measures. MFP routine tracking provides the structure I need to stay focused.

    9/5⚖️ 130.2
    ✅🚶‍♀️7k🏋️‍♀️10 min 💦📚💤 7, P:E 1.2:1 Protein= 126g
    Did not hit 🚶‍♀️10k…. 🎾1 1/2 hrs Opted to watch USOpen all afternoon/night. Could’ve 🏋️‍♀️more…. Rain next two days (all day). Focus: 💦🏋️‍♀️📚 and catch-up around the house.

    9/6 ⚖️130.8
    ✅🚶‍♀️13k🏋️‍♀️22 min 📚💤 7, P:E .7-1 Protein= 139g
    Missed my protein ratio goal for the first time in months… My husband prepared some beautiful organic jasmine rice and I enjoyed a bowl. Calories in check, but macros off… Ate dinner several hrs later than usual yesterday… therefore off routine 😔. Started my day squeezing in 5 mile walk just before the rain started followed by🏋️‍♀️. Finished house work then took it easy remainder of day watching the U.S. Open.

    I definitely ate “more” than usual yesterday, and did not drink enough 💦… will be more mindful/intentional today.

    Today: I’ll find a “dry” window to walk… And will CHOOSE a healthy mindset. When motivation wains, choose self-discipline.

    9/7 ⚖️132.0
    ✅🚶‍♀️7k🏋️‍♀️30min 💤 8, P:E 1.2:1 Protein= 119g

    I am obsessing over the scale. I know it’s just information but the information I’m receiving is a tad-bit frustrating.

    I started thinking about my “most recent” 15lb+ gain. I realized I gained those 15lbs over 18 months eating what one would consider not to be “unhealthy or over the top”. I also played a LOT of tennis during that time… Portion control has always been my issue, not sweets or binging… just really loving good food. If I wasn’t playing tennis and burning 500 cal from daily exercise, maybe I would’ve gained 25lbs!!! By simply eating the standard American diet… (SAD).

    For women, our body absolutely changes as we age. Everyone’s body is different so I won’t say it’s pre-menopausal or post or anywhere between or after because it’s different for everyone…

    My body definitely changed around age 62. I kept eating, and doing the same as always, but the weight gain happened.

    I wish I had learned that when you reach that point when your body makes that huge metabolic shift, you must eat less and lift weights and move more to simply maintain… I wish someone had TOLD me that cardio is secondary to 🏋️‍♀️….

    What is my point to this ramble? I personally believe that if you are not losing weight right now, you are simply eating too many calories… I believe all the charts grossly overstate minimum calorie requirements.

    The past few months I’ve been averaging 1300 - 1400 cal per day, which seems like I should be maintaining or loosing…. But in reality, I’ve gained 2 to 3 pounds. What does this tell me? I don’t know yet… I feel good, my clothes look great…. But the scale bothers the *kitten* out of me.

    A lifetime of wanting to weigh 130lbs consistently …. So why does TWO freaking pounds bothering me so much?

    So that is my ramble… It just means that I’m not to that place of TRUE #HSF because I become deflated when the scale fluctuates… If I was truly #HSF the scale would be neutral… just a fact.

    It also means that I have some form of mental deformity when TWO FREAKING POUNDS blow my mind.

    No hugs needed… It is what it is… That lifetime struggle/challenge with the scale STILL exists. The bogeyman is still in the closet! I will definitely fake it till I make it.

    Today: 🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️📚💦 ENJOY!
    Onward!

    PS I truly don’t want to offend anyone because I know many are struggling with significant health issues & weight loss goals…. My point in sharing is that there’s no magic treasure when you “reach your goal” … For me, TODAY, I must make minute by minute decisions… Some days are better than others… Some weeks are better than others… and so TODAY will be another DECISION /will power day. Same as you.

    9/8 ⚖️131.0
    ✅🚶‍♀️9k🏋️‍♀️15min 💤 8, 💦 P:E 1.5:1 Protein= 90g (low)
    🎾 yesterday & today. I’ve been sleeping well for a few weeks now which really helps with energy, attitude and discipline. I’m simply a happier gal with a great nights sleep! Continue to practice mindfulness and gratefulness. Embrace this day with a #HSF identity, gladness and opportunity. Walk the walk.

    Started my day super positive. Beautiful morning - did my functional training 🏋️‍♀️ & stretching outside. So nice… two-hr tennis match…. Perfect nutrition. 10k 🚶‍♀️Positive attitude /mindset. Grateful.

    Settling into 1-2lb daily fluctuations as a new norm? (Actually, it’s not “new”…)🙃. Just me being me…. Have a great day!

    9/3 163.8 I think this uptick was leftover carb damage from the weekend. Food was right on plan yesterday, and I walked 3.5 miles yesterday morning. Really need to be drinking more water, but that is something I have always struggled with. I'm open to suggestions. Intentional Exercise: 27 min walking
    9/4 163.8 So, the worst thing about having a high-carb few days is that the cravings return. Struggling a little to get back on track. Intentional Exercise: 27 min walking
    9/5 163.6 Neighborhood walking but my watch had died.
    9/6 163.6 Drove to the mountains today, planted flowers and pressure washed the deck, but no formal exercise.
    9/7 No scales. 50 minutes of walking
    9/8 No scales. 60 minutes of walking
    9/9 163.2 Not bad after a weekend camping. I was by myself this weekend, so I got to pick what I wanted to eat and did really well.

    Don’t forget ladies, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month so you’ve got plenty of time to schedule your routine testing. I share because I care.
    thank you for the reminder, I'm due! And good luck with your tests- hope it's good news!

    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.

DP didn't get it, which is really good. 3 meetings today which I can't break. Each one is on a project site, so I won't have to be in close contact or an enclosed space or I'd cancel. Hopefully one more day and I'll be back to normal. Mucinex is my friend.

    I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my morning coffee.

    Rnd 270 End Weight 170.6

    9/03- 171.2
    9/04- 169.0
    9/05- 169.0
    9/06- 168.6
    9/07- 170.0
    9/08- 172.0
    9/09- 171.4 I’m at the part of my monthly hormonal cycle where I hang out at the higher end. I suspect I might see some more of those 169’s but it would be a surprise to see any dramatic drops this round.
    Yesterday was a fantastic workout day and a full day of housework. Tackled a few small projects on the yearly Fall list (admittedly one of those was left over from the Spring list).
    This week is a flat out run everyday to do everything I need to before I take my parents on a road trip Thurs-Sunday to visit my brother’s family.

    Goals for this round:

    2. Daily exercise; at least some movement…
    3. Drink 90 oz. water.
    4. Do the first three goals.

    We bought too much fruit (blueberry and peach) at the farmer’s market, now we need to make pie and cobbler to use it all. :/

    Finished an interesting novel last night called “The Venice Sketchbook” by Bowen. It was a great way to get a preview of Venice. I found myself tracing the story on my Google Map.

    Met my goals yesterday and was rewarded with a 2# bump. I cannot complain; I have not met my goals for a while. Need to let my body catch up.

    /logged food; exercised; 78 oz water./
    I think it helped that I was too busy to go to Rotary yesterday.

    NSV: I had a late afternoon doctor appointment 30 miles from home yesterday. I was actually scanning the horizon for a fast-food sign on the way home. Drove by some easy prey but had a moment of clarity at just the right time. It didn’t kill me. My brain said “you are starving!” He lied.

    9/7: 221.2
    /not logged; exercised; 70 oz water/
    We had a “former employer alumni meeting” last night, and I had a Cuban sandwich. I chose the slaw as my side, not FF. I had one more beer than necessary.

    Starting to get that compressed feeling right before a trip. Trying to get 10 pounds of stuff to do in a 5 pound bag. I am looking forward to the smaller portion sizes, because if it gets put in front of me, I eat it.

    BTW, I can totally relate to the handful of shredded cheese ploy. Anything I can get a handful of is dangerous.

    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.

    “trying to embrace the fact it is ok to feel hungry”

    A friend once suggested to me that feeling “hungry” could be re-framed as feeling “clean”. Whenever I feel “hungry,” I now try to reframe “hunger” to “clean”… it’s a more positive mindset for me…. Hope that helps!

    @Chapter_3 I like that.

    @deepwoodslady Donna, yes, the chocolate still being in the refrigerator is a WIN. Thank you for pointing that out! Sending prayers for your check-ups!

    Sep 3 - 169.6 - I haven't posted since Aug 8 due to an 8mm blocked kidney stone and 2 surgeries. Thank you for the kind get-well wishes! I'm 100% recuperated, and glad to be back. I'll see what my weight does over this round since I first lost 8 pounds, then gained 6 of those pounds back once I did have an appetite again. I haven't worried about tracking or counting calories, but I start back tracking today. Yay! I did have a personal summer challenge going but at this point it's useless with the past 4 crazy weeks. I'm just going to concentrate on being able to exercise again, eating right (and below maintenance), and getting enough water.
    Sep 4 - 169.4
    Sep 5 - 169.6
    Sep 6 - DNW - Got up at 4am - too early for an accurate weight
    Sep 7 - 169.6 - hmmm......I haven't been staying below maintenance so really what did I expect - LOL.
    Sep 8 - 167.8 - I had a much better day yesterday as far as eating healthy and keeping my calories in check. I'm glad to see the drop but I'm still waiting to see where my weight levels out after my kidney stones and surgeries. I lost a lot of weight from not eating, then most came back once I started eating again (as should be expected), and then another few pounds up after I started eating over maintenance. My body is just trying to figure out what "normal" is right now. I'm glad to have had a good day yesterday and stopped the overeating before I was in a full-out binge. The first day is always the hardest. We shall see..... B)

    Sep 9 - 167.8

    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

    Comments pertain to previous day

    SW RND 271 132.0
    9/3 132.5 Yesterday’s picnic was a SUGAR STORM! The pulled pork had been liberally doused with extremely sweet sauce. There were baked beans (also sweet) and watermelon. I had some pork with lettuce leaves. For dessert they had cookies. I intended to drink a protein shake before we went but time got away from me. I ate cookies, super sweet pork, and lettuce.
    9/4 131.5 Went to Jesse Rae’s BBQ and had REAL pulled pork seasoned with dry rub and smoked, not cooked in sweet sauce. Had my protein shake for dessert, 2 me made jalapeño poppers early. On a side note - we live about 8 miles south of Nellis AFB and I LOVE to hear “the boys” flying. The walls virtually rattle in the proper weather/wind condtions. I’ve had to re-order taking my supplements due to the new to me bone support recommended by retired RN neighbor. It is to be taken away from calcium so I’m taking it when I get up and when I go to bed and taking everything else about 4 hours later in the morning and earlier in the evening.
    9/5 133.0 Well, I thought that weight yesterday might be a dream but . . . Wow! Today we’re going to dinner at Golden Corral with friends (their choice) Just stay on the roller coaster and ride. My email was hacked on Monday and it has taken this long to get access! Wouldn’t you think facial recognition and fingerprint would be enough to prove I’m me?
    9/6 133.0 Busy day ahead. Why does everyone want to go out to eat with us before we leave on Tuesday? We’ll be gone less than 2 weeks not for months. Golden Corral yesterday even though my stomach didn’t feel good. At least I didn’t make a pig of myself.
    9/7 133.0 My stomach feels better and I kept eating in line. I need to put the RS SF candies out of sight but they do seem to have kept things moving! I looked up our flight info and they have changed it. Now leaving earlier and no layover in Dallas, and we arrive in Tulsa 4 hours earlier! @_JeffreyD_ I am relating to your “10# of stuff in a 5# bag” remark.
    9/8 133.5 Ate a slice of sourdough, 2 hot dogs (not all beef) and Brussels sprouts. No protein shake.
    9/9 133.0 My plan is to drink the 2 shakes I have mixed in the fridge. DH will be on his own.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    09/02 …..192.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

    09/03 -192.0- (Trend weight -191.6-)

    09/04 -190.8- (Trend weight -191.5-)

    09/05 -190.8- (Trend weight -191.4-)

    09/06 -189.4- (Trend weight -191.2-)

    09/07 -189.0- (Trend weight-191.0-)

    09/08 -189.6- (Trend weight-190.9-) Scale is a little bit up as I traveled yesterday with my son for some out-of-town shopping for his food supplies (autistic eating disorders and tactile food issues). Lunch was out. I ate less than half but we did have an ice cream later in the evening before coming home. Some of the ice cream shops have already closed for the season so we had to get it in! Well. I suppose “had to” is a bit strong. Tomorrow I leave for a two day trip to University Hospital for my Mammogram and Oncology appts. It is the yearly check-up for the cancer breast and the mid-year check-up on the cancer-scare breast as they are following up some suspicious stuff on that opposite side. The last check on that was 6 months ago. Because it’s a 4 hour drive each way and the appointments this time are so early it will be an overnight trip for us. There will be restaurants both days and plenty of sitting. I know it’s going to do some damage but what goes up must come down so I will work diligently the rest of the week. I must admit, this small-town girl is looking forward to all that the big city has to offer. I’m really looking forward to getting away from this “construction zone” house too. Don’t forget ladies, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month so you’ve got plenty of time to schedule your routine testing. I share because I care!

    09/09 -191.0- (Trend weight-190.9-) I normally fluctuate both up and down by about a pound-and-a-half each time there is a change so this is par for the course when I haven’t had the best day. I was served up a lot of stress and depression yesterday and food was my chaser. Ridiculous! I felt like an out of control child. Today is my travel day. I will be home and post tomorrow evening/night. I expect another gain but will work on it the rest of the week. I always say that sometimes I “give in” but I never “give up”. I’m a bit like the Unsinkable Molly Brown. Looking on the bright side, I am still down from start weight in this moment.! Wishing you all a great week filled with lots of SVs and NSVs.

    09/10 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

    09/11 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

    09/12 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

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

    Day/Weight/Comment
    09/02 …..192.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

    09/03 -192.0- (Trend weight -191.6-)

    09/04 -190.8- (Trend weight -191.5-)

    09/05 -190.8- (Trend weight -191.4-)

    09/06 -189.4- (Trend weight -191.2-)

    09/07 -189.0- (Trend weight-191.0-)

    09/08 -189.6- (Trend weight-190.9-) Scale is a little bit up as I traveled yesterday with my son for some out-of-town shopping for his food supplies (autistic eating disorders and tactile food issues). Lunch was out. I ate less than half but we did have an ice cream later in the evening before coming home. Some of the ice cream shops have already closed for the season so we had to get it in! Well. I suppose “had to” is a bit strong. Tomorrow I leave for a two day trip to University Hospital for my Mammogram and Oncology appts. It is the yearly check-up for the cancer breast and the mid-year check-up on the cancer-scare breast as they are following up some suspicious stuff on that opposite side. The last check on that was 6 months ago. Because it’s a 4 hour drive each way and the appointments this time are so early it will be an overnight trip for us. There will be restaurants both days and plenty of sitting. I know it’s going to do some damage but what goes up must come down so I will work diligently the rest of the week. I must admit, this small-town girl is looking forward to all that the big city has to offer. I’m really looking forward to getting away from this “construction zone” house too. Don’t forget ladies, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month so you’ve got plenty of time to schedule your routine testing. I share because I care!

    09/09 -191.0- (Trend weight-190.9-) I normally fluctuate both up and down by about a pound-and-a-half each time there is a change so this is par for the course when I haven’t had the best day. I was served up a lot of stress and depression yesterday and food was my chaser. Ridiculous! I felt like an out of control child. Today is my travel day. I will be home and post tomorrow evening/night. I expect another gain but will work on it the rest of the week. I always say that sometimes I “give in” but I never “give up”. I’m a bit like the Unsinkable Molly Brown. Looking on the bright side, I am still down from start weight in this moment.! Wishing you all a great week filled with lots of SVs and NSVs.

    09/10 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

    09/11 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

    09/12 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

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

    Has anyone else had an issue with MFP food diary where it keeps adding random calories allegedly earned from exercise? 600 exercise calories appearing even before breakfast, this morning I removed it at breakfast time and now another 710 have appeared?

    End-of-2024 Goal—weight 170.

    Day. Weight/Trend. Comments.

    9/04 - 197.4/197.4
    Crazy weekend, but I’m back on track today.

    9/05 - 198/197.7
    Or not. 😡🥲😳 This bump is from previous days, but still… Well, I can’t change the past, so I’d better focus on right now.

    9/06 - 197.6/197.7
    Food was fine yesterday. I just feel defeated but fat. And I know I should stop whining, and I’ll try. Tomorrow. 🙂

    9/07 - 198.8/198.1
    What? Has to be water, although I don’t know why that would be. My calories yesterday were 1345, so that’s not it. Just bizarre.

    9/08 - 199/198.8
    I gave in to an emotional snackfest yesterday—lots of salt—and dinner was heavier and saltier than usual, so I’m sad about the uptick, but not devastated. That said, I talked to DH about our incompatible food tolerances (meaning he can eat anything and stay thin and I balloon if I look at it) and told him I just can’t continue this way. Conversation isn’t finished, but basically I think we need to make our own meals for a while. He can happily eat all the pasta and butter he wants and I can NOT eat his food. We eat most of our meals together on his very consistent schedule, and that clearly isn’t working for me. Anyway, I’m going to make a big pot of veggie soup today and freeze a bunch so I can pull out and nuke it when I want. I’m also trying again to get back to my long walks, as I think my gut has settled down a bit. I have to stop feeling defeated.

    9/09 - 199.2/198.7
    I did better yesterday, but still up from the day before. I considered, first, not weighing, then lying, but what would be the point of that? Anyway, I’m starting my good breakfast/no lunch experiment today for a while to see if it makes a difference. In the meantime, I’m getting ready for sweater weather—finished knitting this one last week and thought I’d share. I’m turning knitting into a reward—I have to walk at least half an hour or I’m not allowed to knit.

    @SheilaBoneham I realized earlier this year that not only do DH eat wildly different meals but also very different schedules. Most days we line up around dinner time but it’s taken some adjustment for him to be ok when we don’t line up.
    These days I sit with him even if I’m not eating but when I was first getting back on track he really did not like me saying “sitting at the table while you eat cues me to eat even if I’m not hungry so I’m not going to sit with you right now”
    He never said anything but I could tell by the look on his face that it hurt his feelings a bit. He adjusted!

    @Skyleen75 Sounds like us, except since my DH retired, we eat most meals together. He’s very scheduled, not just with meals but especially with meals, and left to my own devices, I would not be so rigid. I would likely eat a good breakfast, brunch, or lunch, and another small meal late in the evening. He has always eaten dinner at 5, which is too early for me, but I fell into his schedule years ago….Meals are our real talking times, so I hate to abandon them, but I have to do something. My first goal is to break the “lunch even if I’m not hungry” habit, starting today. Talk but no eating, or just a piece of fruit. 😊

    @SheilaBoneham I feel your frustration! Several months ago DH said he would do whatever I want so I could get back where I wanted to be. Unfortunately, it hasn’t exactly worked out that way. I mean he actually bought me a HERSHEY BAR for gosh sake!! (It is still in the refrigerator except the small piece I had the day he gave it to me.) Going to visit DD#1 and family on Tuesday. Heaven help me🙏🙏🙏!

    @quiltingjaine If yours is like mine, the Hershey bar is a gift of love, and he doesn’t understand how hard this is. I don’t think my DH even notices whether I’m thin or fat, and he has very little nutritional knowledge, or interest since he’s always been thin.

    @musicsax Do you have a Fitbit account connected to your MFP account? I remember seeing a Tech Support post a few days ago, where MFP said it's on Fitbit's end and Fitbit was working to fix it. I don't have mine connected, but I've seen several posts saying these kind of things are happening frequently, so I would guess it's a widespread problem at the moment.
