10/13 - 193.2/194.1
I seem to have found the key for me, finally. I’m not finding it as difficult as I imagined to stick to my fast from supper until breakfast, and wonder why I couldn’t stop snacking at night before. I guess you just have to be in the right place mentally.
10/14 - 193.4/193.7
Salty dinner last night, but otherwise on target, and one full week of IM. It’s getting easier. 😊
10/15 - 193.6/193.5
I weighed in a bit earlier than usual, which may explain the slight uptick. Nothing else does! I’m off this morning for my second post-laser surgery laser treatment to clear cloudiness in my new lens. I can’t say the first procedure made any difference ( other eye), but we’ll see.
10/16 - 193.4/193.4
Laser treatment went perfectly, but I ate weirdly (grape nut flakes and kefir for breakfast, pad Thai for late lunch/early dinner, and a few triscuits later. Woke up in the night feeling nauseated and indigestion, and I still feel that way. I’m wondering if it’s from an excess of salt. I usually keep my sodium intake quite low, but pad Thai & triscuits? Yikes! Anyway, I’m drinking lots of water to flush the salt. Maybe some knitting therapy will help. 😁
10/17 - 195/193.8
I felt shaky and hungry last night, so had a bowl of cereal with blueberries and kefir, which accounts for the bump. It’s fine. It will go away. I thought I’d share my newest motivation…I just finished knitting this vest and is a bit snug. 10 pounds would help, 20 even better! This was a fun knit, seeing the patterns emerge.
10/18 - 193.6/193.6
Ok, back on track. Thank you all for kind words about my vest. 🧶😊
10/19 - 195.2/194.1
Ugh. First, we had a salty, high-calorie dinner I shouldn’t have eaten—didn’t even taste very good—but DH was eager to try it. I should have let him have it all! Then I was feeling a bit down last night and had cereal and, later, garlic triscuits, both of which broke my fast. Woke up with a headache, probably from all that salt, and I skipped breakfast this morning, so will have fasted 14+ hours by the time I eat lunch. Planning to behave myself today.

10/18 -DNW- (Trend weight-DNW-) No-weigh Friday. Macros were within limits although carbs were on the higher end of my allowance due to Pasta. I made a Spaghetti Casserole with real Pasta for the gang although I avoided the garlic bread. I probably should have gotten a spaghetti squash and made mine separate (and different) but I didn’t. I’m planning a good day today. The family will eat leftovers but no more pasta for me today.! Two days in a row would surely be a disaster! I have lots of better options and need to keep eating clean and within plan at home.
10/19 -192.4- (Trend weight-192.8-) A bit of a jump up (just under a pound) due to two days of pasta dinners. All the leftovers are gone now except just enough for one plate which my son will polish off today. I kept the portions under control but I always bloat and gain after real pasta. It fed the whole gang nicely though for a full 2 days. I’m happy to see my trend weight still going down. I have a good plan for today but I’ve got to get off my butt and get in some exercise even while babysitting my very active DGS.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 275 (my 205th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
This round sees me travelling again, this time to Turkey to visit DB. Just want to stay strong but enjoy my time with him & SIL, they emigrated out there 16 months ago.
Goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
• to choose wisely!
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.

10/20 DNW - sorry guys been totally AWOL. Internet her in Turunç, Turkey is so sporadic, most times unable to get on line & when we can it's mostly in restaurants & as we are out with DB & SIL that we are visiting it seems very unsocial to sit there on phone. Tried to eat as healthy as possible & only have 1 adult beverage (wine) per day, I'll see what the scales say when we get home; fly back today. So lovely to spend this time with them, not seen them since mid last year when they moved here. Got 7 pages to catch up on😱.

@baodell17724, yes that really is rural, not suburban! It's a very pretty area, but definitely different for a NYC guy- much less take-out!

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.

10/20: working to keep positive and slightly "active". Getting more proficient on the crutches but sticking to the 1st floor until I can weight-bear on the "new" foot. I won't be able to record my weight until 10/31 at the earliest, and that will include a boot. No scale, boredom and being sedentary leaves little margin of error, so my goal is to maintain at my BMR, which is 1,047 calories a day. Not much.
NSV: today is my 300th day logging into MFP- longest run ever!

About Me & R275 Commitments:
********************************F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean P:E (ProteinG> (Cg+Fg) A clean/whole food WOE- (🚫processed foods). Track macros, all fitness and NSVs. I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food my entire life.

📣#bestshapeofmylife
👇🏻Oct Level Up (Down) Plan
***************************
I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of Oct:
1. P:E: Proteing greater than 1:1 vs. Energy g. [Pg > (Cg+Fg)] (and cals = avg. maintenance).I will continue this nutrition plan. 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 added ⏱️“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)!!!!

✅ 🏋️♀️20🚶♀️11k 💤 4hrs 🎾
Pg 20g
Decided to go ahead and attempt the 72 hour fast. I’m on 36 hours. Only 16oz of bone broth yesterday (plus 2black coffee and 80oz 💦). Only water/black coffee for the next 36 hours.
I’m not doing this for weight loss. Doing it to give my system, a brake & regenerate cells. If you’re ever interested in learning about fasting /benefits, there is a plethora of information on the Internet.
I slept horrible last night - a surge of energy / kept tossing and turning. Very little sleep. I’m hoping I can nap sometime today and / or get a good nights sleep tonight.
I felt/ feel +++ except for a slight headache around 8 o’clock last night.
Yesterday: I played 🎾3hrs & 30 min of 🏀 with my DGS & 20 min🏋️♀️. Just kept going….
Today: ? 🏋️♀️🚶♀️💤💦💦💦. Let’s see how I feel as my day progresses - supposed to rest while fasting but my energy is bouncing off the charts! Get to be with DGS today too - he has a soccer game😎.
I don’t know EXACTLY how I feel about R274…. What are my takes?
1. ⚖️ fluctuates considerably based on routine.
2. Will lose muscle mass from this fast 🤔….
3. Solid ✅with new JGMTD ⏱️goals (sprints/plyo!!!) 5 of 10 days.
4. 🏋️♀️6/10!
10/13 ⚖️128.0 (fasting) 59hrs in. ⬇️3.4lbs 💦💦💦 🚶♀️4k. 💤6.5hrs.
Early yesterday I had a great deal of energy. By 10AM I was zonked then zonked the entire day. Felt my energy just disappear - whoosh! Laid low. Walked around town a little but that was it. 💦💦💦& electrolytes. Did not nap yesterday although I tried. My last 72hr fast I only felt hungry for a couple of hrs around the 48hr mark… Not this time. Yesterday, I was hungry all day & eve… hungry now. Don’t know the difference but this fast has been much more challenging. (At least from my recollection).
My body feels clean. No headache. Feels like I’m floating. Let’s see what happens today. I’m planning steak & eggs to break fast at 6PM.
10/14 128.6
✅🚶♀️9k 💤6 hrs 💦 P:E 1.1:1; Pg 106
I broke my fast yesterday at 2PM (68 hours…) Gave a tennis lesson to DGS, which consisted of only feeding balls at the net… When I got home, I was pretty weak & laid down…. Simply could not recover from the weakness, so I said to myself “What’s four hours”? Hubby is still away on his bike trip & I thought “let me take care of myself and make sure I don’t faint.” Ate half a ribeye. Totally restored my energy! Protein drink & greek yogurt @ 6PM. Beautiful walk in the evening.
Don’t know why fasting full 72hrs was successful twice before & not this time but I’m proud of 68hrs adhering to my body/limits. I don’t feel like I failed. I listened & took care of myself! 💪🏻
What did I learn? I learned that I have self-discipline and can move my thought patterns of doubt to positive self-determination. I can switch gears. I can conquer temptation. Most hunger pangs simply disappear …. Of course, until you feel faint 😎. When you know you know…
💤 Didn’t sleep well again. Trusting after I get moving this morn I’ll feel stronger. I feel clean & hoping to feel even better as the morning progresses. Also trusting my body absorbed all benefits from the fast.
I want to 🚶♀️⏱️🏋️♀️ today. Will check my energy levels. Onward!

✅🚶♀️12k 💤8 hrs 💦 🚫🏋️♀️⏱️
P:E 1.2:1; Pg 118
Movement: chose to only walk today. Still building energy.
Ate @11AM. Poached eggs and sliced avocado. Delicious!Around 4pm: Ground beef w/ chopped onion topped w/diced tomato, cilantro and sliced avocado for dinner. Another win.
6PM One protein shake. Oikos Pro high protein yogurt with a tablespoon of sugar-free dark chocolate pieces. Yum!
Repeat same today. Hoping to keep ⚖️ in 130lb range and continue 🏋️♀️🚶♀️⏱️.
10/16 Slept soundly but only 5 hrs. Darn! My days are decisively better when I get at least 💤7hrs
⚖️This gradual ⬆️expected as I re-fuel. My systems haven’t quite caught up yet😎! I’m hoping to level off @ 130lbs while 🏋️♀️⏱️🚶♀️. Hubby will be home tonight! Today- 🎾🏋️♀️🚶♀️💦💦💦 & cleaning up the mess I’ve made around the house.
10/17 ✅🚶♀️11k 💤7hrs 🎾2 hrs🏋️♀️15 💦 P:E ?
Did not track sushi & sake last night. I certainly do NOT feel clean today. 😎 My “systems” should hopefully get to work today!
DH Made it home. He ended up riding 80+ miles on his birthday. What a stud! We’ll see my sister and a brother tonight. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.
10/18 DNW Nada went as planned. Good day tho. DNW cuz I FORGOT! no sleep & up early & ☕️☕️☕️. Today- reflection and momentum. First day of my 67th year. Let’s go!
10/19 135.6 That’s a WOW-zer! 5 days of eating late, bad sleep & no TMI…. I think I’ll call Roto Rooter today! I’m guessing I’m 131-132.
I’ve eaten foods these last three days that I haven’t eaten in over a year (not to excess) so let’s see how this “weighs out”. Birthday week is officially over!
Back to my routine & tracking. (I really did not see this coming!)
Thanks to all for the birthday wishes… I wish I had the time this morn to thank all of you individually…. I’m running super late. @pezhed congrats on your drop. So much wisdom this morn. I’ll revisit todays journals later today to absorb. Thankful for this group. Love ❤️ to all and happy weekend!

Nice, beautiful day. DGS soccer game and back on routine & tracking. Great sleep last night! Finally!
NSV - did not freak out over the scale even tho I was shocked. I knew it was “timing” and several days of lack of sleep. But once again, surprised at size of the drop too. This body of mine!
Do I regret eating out five times in three days? Not really. My only regret was that our last meal out was unusually AWFUL but I ate it anyway. Next time, I’ll at least make it worth the calories.
What a crazy, wild round!
Today: 🚶♀️🏋️♀️⏱️🎾💦😎 focus on sprints & plyo.
Finish 💪🏻
Onward!

10/16 158.2 Well, I can’t say I’m back in a routine yet, but I did buy a little joy over the weekend. Picked up a new puppy on Sunday. He’s right at 7 weeks old, so he’s walking in a stroller with me at the moment, but eventually, he’ll be a good walking/hiking buddy. As for my “get my MFP life back together,” my goal today is to log everything (even though, I feel like my food intake has been fine even during all this other stuff going on in my life.) In the long run, I’m more successful if I log every single day. Also, I hope to resume daily posts. Fingers crossed. But in the meantime, meet River! I think it was a piece of my recovery that I named him River. I’ve always loved being on the river in the NC mountains,(and will again) and I don’t want that flood to forever ruin those feelings for me. I’ve also always thought the next dog I had would be named River. So, in spite of the devastation caused by the rise of the Linville River, I named him River in honor of all those wonderful feelings and the peace the river usually brings me. Is that crazy or what? Yea, probably so. But here we are! Lol
10/17 158.2 Did pretty well with logging everything yesterday. Got in a walk with puppy in the stroller. Protein was a little low, so I’m working on upping that today.

Husband got Papa John’s and I didn’t cave! I don’t like to put myself into a mode where I feel like I’m constantly missing out on something good because I tend to use those feelings later to talk myself into a binge. So for last night, I decided to only think about money and how much it saved us with me not ordering something for myself. Money was ultimately how I quit smoking years ago, yes my husband had a massive heart attack so that is how we STARTED to quit, but saving $$$ helped me stick to it. Health and Fitness are good reasons to make good decisions but they aren’t as instantly tangible as saving money, so why not look at food in the same light? Other than having this epiphany, the scale still went up a bit today.I’m still trying to figure out my carb goal. I plan to analyze my diary on Saturday when I have a moment.

10 days. I can commit to 10 days of focusing. Here we go.
SW RND 275
10/13: 155.0. A bit higher than I've been recently, but it's not surprising. Food and drink have been a free-for-all. I did, however, get to the gym last night for my treadmill run.
10/14: 154.7. I had a pretty good day yesterday. Stayed in control of my eating (even when my husband ordered a ton of ice cream!). I did 2 walks and a treadmill run (4.25 miles).
10/15: 154.5. It wasn't the best day, food-wise, but wasn't the worst either. I can't say the McDonald's wasn't worth it, though. I know it's gross crappy food, but it's still is my guilty pleasure. So I consciously splurge on it. 2 walks and some time on the treadmill.
10/16: 153.3. I stress ate some ice cream, but other than that, I ate pretty well. Exercise was the usual, 2 walks and some walking/running on the treadmill. I just need to be more mindful of eating when I'm stressed.
10/17: 154.9. Sometimes I just have to laugh. I had a great day with my diet yesterday. I know I didn't do anything to "deserve" an extra pound and a half. I took a rest day from the gym and didn't have time to get much intentional walking, but my eating was the best it's been in a while.
10/18: 153.4. A pretty good day. I just have to work on the casual snacking on crackers throughout the day. So my goal for today is no crackers.
10/19: 156.4. I have no explanation for this jump... I did well yesterday (no crackers!), without excess sodium or carbs. But I guess it is what it is, still trusting the process. Unfortunately, I'm having a bit of hip pain that I'm guessing will sideline me from running for a while. Waking is quite painful at times, but I will do what I can. I still need to get my boys out of the house once in a while!
10/20: 153.8. That's a better weigh in! I'm still making a conscious effort to avoid mindless munching on crackers and am doing much better. My hip still hurts but not with the intensity it was at yesterday, but I still have a feeling I'll be taking a longish break from running.

Round 275
Oct 13 - 22, 2024
GOAL FOR ROUND 274 – NOT GIVE BACK MY LOSS FROM ROUND 273
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!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/13 – 133.8 yesterday was not perfect, but the results of the previous two days wore off
10/14 – 134.2 attended get together at friend’s house yesterday, then came home and ate a WHOLE bag of chocolate covered pretzels. Anyhow, today start a challenging stretch for me. DH will be out of town for 10 days. In the past, I don’t cook and just eat ice cream and other junk while he is gone. My goal for myself it to actually eat meals while he is gone. Preferably, home cooked and trackable meals.
10/15 – 134.2 I actually ate somewhat like a normal person yesterday. But I finished my day with microwaved popcorn and I think there may be some sodium at play this morning. (Oops, Happy Anniversary to me and DH - I totally forgot until I saw today's posting date. :P )
10/16 – 133.2 This number I think is real. My highs after a binge are not real, and sadly, my super lows are likely not real as well. Not losing at a super fast pace, but given my current approach, that makes sense. Fortunately, there is no real deadline, even though I had hoped for 130 for my 63rd b-day, and that is coming too soon (next round).
10/17 – 132.8 Glad I that for once, I am actually eating real food while DH is away and the scale is reflecting this. Trying to psych myself to exercise. Top floor of the home, the heat is not working (will take to November to repair) and that is where the equipment is. Last I looked the room was about 50 degrees. Should not stop me, and might even feel good once I get moving, but its one more excuse. @Pezhedit was a Cystoscopy and it came back clean.
10/18 – 133.8 Totally expected.
10/19 – 133.8 repeat of same behavior BUT I am very grateful the number stayed the same. I actually have leggings on and will head out for a walk as soon as the sun comes up!
10/20 – 134.0 a little better, but still off

10/13 - 193.2/194.1
I seem to have found the key for me, finally. I’m not finding it as difficult as I imagined to stick to my fast from supper until breakfast, and wonder why I couldn’t stop snacking at night before. I guess you just have to be in the right place mentally.
10/14 - 193.4/193.7
Salty dinner last night, but otherwise on target, and one full week of IM. It’s getting easier. 😊
10/15 - 193.6/193.5
I weighed in a bit earlier than usual, which may explain the slight uptick. Nothing else does! I’m off this morning for my second post-laser surgery laser treatment to clear cloudiness in my new lens. I can’t say the first procedure made any difference ( other eye), but we’ll see.
10/16 - 193.4/193.4
Laser treatment went perfectly, but I ate weirdly (grape nut flakes and kefir for breakfast, pad Thai for late lunch/early dinner, and a few triscuits later. Woke up in the night feeling nauseated and indigestion, and I still feel that way. I’m wondering if it’s from an excess of salt. I usually keep my sodium intake quite low, but pad Thai & triscuits? Yikes! Anyway, I’m drinking lots of water to flush the salt. Maybe some knitting therapy will help. 😁
10/17 - 195/193.8
I felt shaky and hungry last night, so had a bowl of cereal with blueberries and kefir, which accounts for the bump. It’s fine. It will go away. I thought I’d share my newest motivation…I just finished knitting this vest and is a bit snug. 10 pounds would help, 20 even better! This was a fun knit, seeing the patterns emerge.
10/18 - 193.6/193.6
Ok, back on track. Thank you all for kind words about my vest. 🧶😊
10/19 - 195.2/194.1
Ugh. First, we had a salty, high-calorie dinner I shouldn’t have eaten—didn’t even taste very good—but DH was eager to try it. I should have let him have it all! Then I was feeling a bit down last night and had cereal and, later, garlic triscuits, both of which broke my fast. Woke up with a headache, probably from all that salt, and I skipped breakfast this morning, so will have fasted 14+ hours by the time I eat lunch. Planning to behave myself today.
10/20 - 195/194.3
I ate responsibly yesterday, so I know eventually the uptick will down tick, but it is frustrating. I couldn’t sleep last night—the last time I checked the clock as I lay there it was 5 a.m. I may have to take a nap before lunch!

SW RND 275: 132.8
RGW: 132.8
Not setting an ambitious goal for the round since I was dehydrated for my start weight and I’m already back up. Would be happy if I could just legitimately weight my round start weight!
Non-scale goals:
🏃🏻♀️ or 🏋🏻♀️ work out 7/10 days
🚫 no drinking 5/10 days
📝 tracking 6/10 days
⏱️ intermittent fast 6/10 days
10/13 - 134.2. Had a major snack attack at the farmer’s market yesterday. I’m also really bad at drinking water on the weekends. I probably drank like 12 ounces yesterday 🤦🏻♀️ Today we have a fall festival at my son’s school that will probably have some delicious treats on offer. I’m going to tread lightly, though! My son is very excited to try to dunk the principal in the dunk tank. He is such a happy kindergartner 🥹
10/14 - 135.0 🏃🏻♀️ Impromptu Mexican dinner last night. I kept it balanced by drinking a margarita but eating fajitas with just one of the tortillas haha. Tried not to go wild on the chips. Definitely a salty dinner and my inadequate water consumption continued. The beginning of the week is always bittersweet. Not thrilled to be back at work but I'm a lot more disciplined when I only have to consider myself during the day and can spend a little time planning dinners. I'm sitting at a cafe drinking only black coffee despite all the tempting treats around me to start off on the right foot. Then therapy at 10 which is long overdue. Good way to start the week!
10/15 - 134.2 ⏱️🚫 My body sure likes 134ish. I went way over yesterday. I made the mistake of eating my kids' leftover quesadillas for lunch. Very fatty, high calorie, and low nutrition. It sent me down a spiral of snacking, mostly high carb foods. I know that I'll never be satiated off of processed carbs alone, and yet, there I was, eating everything in sight. Then the pot roast I made wasn't ready until 6:30 which leads to all of us snacking endlessly. I should at least be able to work out today. I found out yesterday that the company's priorities are pivoting away from most of what I'm working on, so my projects are almost all delayed. I've been a little overwhelmed by everything I have to do so I guess it's a bit of a relief? But also feels like my job is in jeopardy. I'd hate to get laid off after 6 weeks of working here! They said there isn't a reduction in headcount but I bet if this directive had happened before I got hired, they wouldn't hire anyone for this position yet (in pharma my job isn't really required until you're getting ready to go commercial; filing for commercialization is getting delayed by 6 months). I guess I'll have more time for fitness this way, eesh.
10/16 - 134.0 ⏱️🏃🏻♀️ Ugh I really need to get to tracking. That's an important part of weight loss for me and I have been utterly failing. I'll even weigh and measure food in order to track it and then never put it on MFP. So my only goal today is to write every bite!
10/17 - 133.2 ⏱️🏋🏻♀️📝 Finally got my tracking emoji. It would have been so simple to have an alcohol-free day but I decided to drink a glass of wine to finish off the opened bottle in the fridge, ugh. At least that was all I drank. Tonight my mom will be here and tomorrow DH and I have an overnight date, so these will not be dry days
I'm trying to decide how to handle dinner tonight. I made tentative plans with a neighbor to feed them but I'm not sure what to make/buy. I was thinking pizza to keep it simple but I don't really want to eat pizza, especially since I've finally made a little progress for the week. 5yo DS is home for a teacher work day today. I may take him on a bike ride while I run with him on a flatter part of the nearby rail trail.
10/18 - 132.4 📝🏃🏻♀️ Very happy with my weigh-in this morning! Dinner ended up just being us with my mom, and DH made catfish and shrimp cocktail with salad on the side so it was pretty light! I also chased Atlas, my 5yo, for 4 miles while he rode his bike so I got in a really good run in yesterday. Today I'm going to walk the dogs and do a Peloton strength workout. Tonight we have our overnight date so we'll have dinner and breakfast out, most likely. Going to try to keep tracking since that is 100% the key to weight loss for me even though it's super annoying and tedious Anyway this is the lowest my weight has been since my return (disregarding the fact that I was very close to here over a month ago, ugh. My little chart shows a slow-but-happening loss. Happy Friday everyone!

@quiltingjaine I got my Cologuard over a year ago which was also all clear. Usually during a true colonoscopy they will remove any polyps while they are there which I am sure helps prevent tumors or cancer later. How do you feel about the fact that we are missing this process by using the Cologuard for testing? I'd love your thoughts on this. Also anyone else who would like to chime in on this......0 -

10/18 -DNW- (Trend weight-DNW-)
10/19 -192.4- (Trend weight-192.8-) A bit of a jump up (just under a pound) due to two days of pasta dinners. All the leftovers are gone now except just enough for one plate which my son will polish off today. I kept the portions under control but I always bloat and gain after real pasta. It fed the whole gang nicely though for a full 2 days. I’m happy to see my trend weight still going down. I have a good plan for today but I’ve got to get off my butt and get in some exercise even while babysitting my very active DGS.
10/20 -191.0- (Trend weight 192.6-) A nice drop back down into the 191 world but I am pretty ashamed of how I got it back there. Yesterday evening I drove to the new little local ice cream place and ordered something that is like an M & M Blizzard. I ordered size large with chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla. Custard, no less. I did this after scouring the menu to try to figure out what the BIGGEST item was that they had on the menu besides Banana Splits since I don’t eat bananas. I was not going for quality, it was pure quantity, pure gluttony really. I know from past mistakes that a medium turtle blizzard made with chocolate ice cream is about 985 calories so there is no doubt that this came in well over 1000. As I sat in my car eating it alone like a bandit hiding their loot, I looked around at all the filled picnic tables and saw EVERYONE else eating little dishes of ice cream, or small simple cones. They were enjoying theirs much more than I was mine because it was what they REALLY WANTED, not just the biggest amount or the biggest value for the $. I felt pretty disgusted, especially when I finished it anyway. Later I ended up skipping my dinner to offset the calories. No amount of starving was going to fix the carbs. I went to bed at 2:00 am very hungry. So yes, I had a drop today due to no dinner. But it’s not the right way to get where I need to go. I’m sure my diabetes didn’t thank me as my glucose was still up by over 40 points this morning from 5:00 pm ice cream yesterday. Sorry for the long post but I hope it helps someone when I say it’s just not worth it. Healthy consistent clean meals are the answer. SMALL, OCCASIONAL treats are okay. Treats are not meal replacements! Today I will put all my knowledge and tools to work and have a good day which should always be the normal and not the exception.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 275 (my 205th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
This round sees me travelling again, this time to Turkey to visit DB. Just want to stay strong but enjoy my time with him & SIL, they emigrated out there 16 months ago.
Goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
• to choose wisely!
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.

10/20 DNW - sorry guys been totally AWOL. Internet her in Turunç, Turkey is so sporadic, most times unable to get online & when we can it's mostly in restaurants & as we are out with DB & SIL that we are visiting it seems very unsocial to sit there on phone. Tried to eat as healthy as possible & only have 1 adult beverage (wine) per day, I'll see what the scales say when we get home; fly back today. So lovely to spend this time with them, not seen them since mid last year when they moved here. Got 7 pages to catch up on😱.
10/21 144 – back home now &, back into normal eating routine 😊. So fantastic to see DB & spend some time with him & SIL after 16 months when they left to live in Turkey.

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!! 👍👍.

@deepwoodslady thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this. This so relatable to those of us who struggle with food addiction and binge eating.
By sharing this you make take away the power of it being a shameful secret.6 -
I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my morning coffee.

10/21- 174.4 This weekend was fantastic in the NorthEast! DH planned an impromptu Fall day trip through the Berkshires in MA.
We got absolutely nothing done around the house.
My exercise was leisurely strolls. My food choices were actually pretty good but all of my beverage choices were very high calorie. Fancy coffee drink, afternoon cocktail, eggnog for dessert!!!
My body is very dramatic and I don’t love recording such a high number. My average is actually up a tiny bit for the first time in months. I need to shake off this “treat yourself” attitude!
It will be helpful that DH starts a 21 day work outage this Saturday. This mean every single person who works at his plant will work 12 hour days every single day for three weeks.
It’s brutal but power plants literally profit millions every day, so if you have to turn them off everyone works until you can turn it back on!!!
The upside for me- no partner in crime for eating yummy food.6 -
@deepwoodslady @quiltingjaine "I got my Cologuard over a year ago which was also all clear. Usually during a true colonoscopy they will remove any polyps while they are there which I am sure helps prevent tumors or cancer later. How do you feel about the fact that we are missing this process by using the Cologuard for testing? I'd love your thoughts on this. Also anyone else who would like to chime in on this......"
I've had 2 colonoscopies, 6 years between them; after the last one the surgeon said 10 years would be fine. I've had the Cologuard in between; perhaps it's done in those interim years for less invasive screening?

@Skyleen75: what a great weekend for the Berkshires, the colors must be gorgeous and the weather was spectacular! And how nice that he surprised you!4

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.

10/21: gorgeous day yesterday and DP put a chair on our back "stoop" so I could sit in the sun for a bit- still being super careful about stairs, only as needed. Day 5 behind me, and the foot feels pretty good- I can make circles at the ankle and can sleep on my side again (thank goodness). Progress. Today I'm going to do some lightweight exercises on the bed and with hand weights, just a little to see how it feels.4 -

10/13: 235.4 lbs (NOTE: I started my health and fitness journey weighing 286.2 lbs on 6/1/24)
10/14: 236.4 lbs (Need to drink more water today, so my diuretic works better!)
10/15: 234.4 lbs (Water drinking helped, broke up many cardboard boxes, unpacked half of rower boxes yesterday)
10/16: 233.2 lbs (Yesterday was a total fast day, except for coffee and water)
10/17: 232.8 lbs (Yesterday electricity was off in town for 7 hours in the daytime for maintenance, so I napped, ate sensibly, but still surprised at loss)
10/18: 232.6 [Enjoying the cooler - during the day, at night it's darn COLD! - weather for exercise. I can last longer now w/o overheating with sweat running in my eyes!]
10/19: 230.8 [Today is my usual weekly Saturday weigh-in day. Since last Saturday, I lost 4 lbs (checked the scale 3x!). I suppose I did UNDEReat, and exercised a little more than my 2 hours a day over the week.]
10/20: 232.6 [Took my diuretic late yesterday, so was up and down all night. Yesterday, I was feeling a bit wobbly so finished off the last of my chicken and bean stew to get more protein in. Oh, and I had a small croissant! LOL (All those little calories add up!)]
10/21: 233.2 [Another weight-gain from yesterday, BUT I'm still down 3.2 lbs from LAST Monday (that is, IF my MS brain is still doing simple subtraction correctly! LOL) I managed to UNbox my new rower, as the large box was blocking half of my usable LR space. The pieces are large, bulky and very heavy! No way I can put this thing together, so I hired a handyman I've used before for furniture to do it. He's coming early Wednesday morning. Excited !!!]
