Previous Rounds Tally & Thoughts:
I am Sick and Tired of being Sick and Tired. I mean, I am LITERALLY both Sick with many ailments and Tired of putting myself through this back & forth! I weighed 181.6 on January 1st, 2024. This has not been a good year for me. How much progress I can make in November, December and January is very very questionable, at the very least. Those months are riddled with holidays, baking pies and cakes, making cookies and fudge. Lots of decadent dishes high in calories and carbs. And lots of shopping excursions away from home which always include restaurants and long car rides. So many celebrations including multiple family birthdays as well! These are the hardest months of the year for most of us. But I’m not throwing in the towel just yet!. I will do ALL I can, As I can, When I can. Life is going to happen and I will definitely live it, but there are lots of days where progress can still be made and/or damages can be mitigated. I must stay steadfast and strong in my resolve. This is about my health journey, not just my weight journey. I will not give up based on what month the calendar page is on!

Day 24-11/19-192.2-(Trend weight 191.6)

Day 25-11/20-192.6-(Trend weight 191.7) For the past couple of weeks I have been focusing on adding fiber to my diet for a number of reasons. As someone who finds most veggies horrid (part of my eating disorder) this task has been difficult. Right now I am using a high fiber low carb bread. 10g of carbs per slice and 10g of fiber per slice making it zero net carbs, 35 calories per slice and 20 grams total of fiber. I am hoping this will help fill me up better and offer me the health protections that fiber has to offer without pushing up the scale. I am also trying to hit my protein goals as best as I can. It will be hard to judge how much this is helping with so many distracted days in the mix. I need a good stretch of days that I either can’t find, or I sabotage when I do come across them. However, I am going to give this a chance for a few months and see how I feel about it. Yesterday should have been good, but it wasn’t. I was so proud of myself all day until the monsters came out last night. I’d had enough protein and fiber to choke a chicken and while it may have helped the hunger a bit, it didn’t put a dent in the cravings. If only I had answers for that!

Day 26-11/21-192.0-(Trend weight 191.7) A little bit of progress. I must stay steadfast as I approach the Thanksgiving holiday and weekend. There is no excuse for not minding my P’s & Q’s right now. Preplanned, Prelogged and Prepared. No reason Not to have a good day!

Hi : - )
I am Dawn.
5'2"
64 years old
Cranbrook, BC, Canada

The most that I have ever lost on one of these 100s is 7lbs.
I am not sure what it is going to take, but I would like to get back to 130 and below.
I started my weight loss journey because my doc threatened to put me on blood pressure medication for the rest of my life. I joined MFP at 198 pounds although I had been heavier than that.
I lost enough weight to chase away high blood pressure, but now the doc is saying that my arthritis in knees, feet, and ankles would benefit greatly by me dropping another 30 pounds. That number used to be 15 pounds, but I have been gaining and gaining these last couple of years.
I am an active person, and eat nutritious food.


Week 1 Goal: 145.6
Week 1 actual weight: 143.6- Started the week at 146.6

Week 2 Goal: 143.0
Week 2 actual weight: 144.8 - Started the week at 145.0

Week 3 Goal: 144.9
Week 3 actual weight:144.4 - Started the week at 147.8

Day 22—11/17— 146.0 - I barely got any activity in yesterday. Jump up in weight. Today will be different since I am off of work. Having a bit of a weird morning. I am a coffee girl, love the stuff, but I just wasn't feeling it this morning, so I have been having English Breakfast teas. I have been pecking away at cleaning stuff, normally I will do anything outside to avoid this lol. I have a carrot patch to harvest still, but I haven't any space in any of my freezers at this point. Now that I am back to having dinners after work I will be eating the pre-portioned containers of stuff that I have made and frozen throughout the work week, this will slowly make freezer space. Tonight though my plan is nachos. I will get a good dance workout in before ice skating so that I am stretched out with my joints lubricated in case I get tripped by little kids darting all over the place lol.

Day 23—11/18— 147.0 - Of course not happy with this jump up. Yes, I had nachos for dinner, but had zero otherwise to mitigate that. Maybe tomorrow it will drop after my output of ice skating, dance workouts and stuff kicks in. My homemade Jambalaya portion is out of the freezer for dinner tonight to be accompanied by a salad. Just one job today, so it should be a nice early dinner and then I am off tomorrow : - )

Day 24—11/19—

Day 25—11/20— 147.2 - Awesome day off yesterday. Went for a nice walk down to the place where the water freezes faster than the other lakes. Just to check it out in anticpation of skating on it soon. This morning we are getting a skiff of snow, which doesn't bode well for lakes freezing smoothly. It is not every year where we can skate the entire lakes, just have to skate where someone has shoveled, or skate behind a shovel lol.

Day 26—11/21— 147.2 - Home at midnight, another day like that for today. $$
Well, glad that I got my carrots out when I did! This is what I woke up to today, I wouldn't have even found the carrots!

Week 4 actual weight:

See saw - see saw - up and down. At least it's not up, up, up! It has been a difficult, stressful and emotional week for various reasons beyond my control. Lots of not being home and restaurants. Tomorrow will be another day away from home including overnight. So, hopefully over the weekend I can get back to eating better. I used to get so stressed out and would even cry over things like this when I couldn't control, weigh, measure and log my food. I've come a long way and have learned to ride the waves, so to speak.

I've also had more moments than I'd like with emotional eating to make myself feel better. Sadly, eating does make me feel better. It is soothing and calming. It also tastes good. That's why it's so hard. It's hard to feel your feelings! I've done so much better overall with that, but not this week. Looking forward to the weekend because I should be able to be home.
