    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 273 131.0
    9/23 131.5 I’m okay with this since no TMI since we got home
    9/24 132.0 Getting a facial today from my favorite esthetician.
    9/25 132.5 UGH my stomach was “off” yesterday so I really didn’t eat much. Also didn’t track so need to do that. Going to Golden Corral this afternoon, ugh!
    9/26 134.5 Double UGH! I really didn’t pig out at what I am now calling the Pigout Parlor. I had a small bowl of salad and a plate with a chicken thigh, a small piece of pot roast, 8 Brussels sprouts, and a serving of small fried shrimp. I wasn’t even tempted to get dessert.
    9/27 135.0!!! Except for the “heel” of the me made sourdough I hardly ate anything- 2 eggs and 2 slices of bacon.
    9/28 134.0 Semi-fast Had my BP coffee, cream and one keto shake. I had planned to repeat today but a scorpion changed my plan. I didn’t get stung and I did kill it but it resulted in cleaning and DH spraying. BBQ for dinner - beef brisket only
    9/29 134.0 Great Greek today. Edit-gave DGD#4 my manicure appt. I will need to reschedule.
    9/30 133.5

    @UTMom81 I think there is more information getting out now and it's settling in with the rest of us. I am holding you and all of your loved ones and everyone else impacted in my heart. I'm in the mountains of Virginia and always felt protected by them. The destruction in NC is just...jarring. There are no words. I am so sorry about your loss of property. I know it's not the same as losing a life but still a lot to deal with after everything you've been going through recently. I wouldn't be thinking about tracking or weighing or anything else either :heartbreak:

    @sheilaboneham - A goal set for a year away is ambitious. Weight Watchers and other plans recommend setting goals in 5% increments with no time frame - or something so low one could trip over it and celebrate a win! Everyone has their own path, with no best path, but breaking goals into mini goals that are easy to hit can build confidence. Showing up is the hardest, and you're doing that already!

    ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 193.8

    09/23 -193.8- (Trend weight -193.6-)

    09/24 -193.4- (Trend weight -193.8-)

    09/25 -192.6- (Trend weight -193.7-)

    09/28 -192.2- (Trend weight-193.4-)

    09/29 -193.6- (Trend weight-193.6-) More ice cream because I was too weak to say no. They leave today and I’m going to make them take the ice cream with them!

    09/30 -193.6- (Trend weight-193.8-) Holding steady is just not good enough for me right now. Not at this number I am at. I plan a very good day today and some extra movement with more yard work. I’m making tacos today (instead of taco Tuesday). It’s one of my son’s favorites but mine will be modified to be lower carb. No contractor today which was unexpected.

    10/01 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

    10/02 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

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

    @UTMom81 - so shocked to hear this, one hears it on the news, but when it is someone you know it hits home even more, hope all of your family are safe. Sorry to hear you have lost your mountain home, sending hugs to you, and hoping the authorities do come up with the help and support that has been pledged.

    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 273 (my 203rd). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.

    Home again after a really lovely 10 days in Spain. 4 pounds gained :(, need to lose this before I travel in 3 weeks to Turkey to visit DB.
    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 overindulge, 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 I must not jeopardize that luck.

    @UTMom81: I had no idea that you're from that area- I'm so sorry! You've had such a run of sadness, and then this, which is beyond anything we've experienced. I lived through Sandy with no power for 2 weeks and DP's house under water, but the devastation through your entire region is shocking. I'm glad you're safe and made it home, and so sorry for all you've dealt with.

    @Skyleen75: "The lungs are the primary organ that excretes fat during weight loss. For example, if you lose 10 pounds of fat, 8.4 pounds of it will be exhaled as carbon dioxide, and the remaining 1.6 pounds will turn into water.”

    Wow, I love this! That's motivation to move!

    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.

    10/1: new month, and a good start.
    I noticed something that I've observed before-when I've maintained my weight for a long time (5 months this time), I start thinking I've gained, or the scale is wrong, and my mind starts playing tricks.

    “When I'm losing weight, it's easy to see results and feel positive; when I'm stable, I feel the self-criticism coming on. This may be where my younger self's eating disorders started: self image rather than reality. Which is why the scale and group support are most important: keeping me realistic- and positive- about where I am. It's so easy to fall into self-doubt... “

    This.
    Thank you for putting into words my own personal struggle. Real as real can get.
    🙏.
