    @SModa61 Sheri, why does it matter what the other people order? You are the driver of YOUR LIFE. Just saying.

    @quiltingjaine It only matters because we are taking this couple out (whom we barely know) as a thank you (they took DH on an expensive all day fishing charter last week) to a $$$$ restaurant, and I want them to enjoy themselves. I don't want them adjusting their own decisions because of mine, so I will be trying to match socially. I have two different plans pre-tracked. One is where others are ordering appetizers (then I will have an app as appetizer, and then a second app as entree), and the other is if they are not and I will have an entree that I identified. When we go out with people who know me, it is easy as there is no misinterpretation of my actions. They have seen my dining style previously. Hope I make sense.

    41F, 5’3

    RSW - 131.8lbs
    RGW - 130.8lbs

    Goals -
    1. Eat in calorie limits
    2. Get active
    3. Drink lots of water

    3/22 - DNW
    3/23 - DNW
    3/24 - 131.8 lbs. I am tired of losing same weight over and over. Had long work trip, celebrations at home, spring break and just gave up on balanced lifestyle in between these events. After a month of negligence, I am feeling worse and out of control. I feel heavy to sleep at night with heartburns and generally slow and unmotivated during the day. Time to get back on track and stick to the program.

    3/25 - 130.9 lbs. Stuck to planned eating and stopped myself as I started to binge. Keeping initial goals easy until I get comfortable with getting on track.

    Well am officially laid of April 10, but had to turn in all my computers and keys Friday and no longer going to the office. Will finally have time to actually participate in this challenge in between looking for a job. As you can imagine the past few months have been chaotic as my boss assured we would have funding and ultimately had to accept the horrible conclusion we cannot survive. Have spent Saturday and Sunday coming to terms with the conclusion and readying myself for Monday. I have not ate well at the office the past few months and with all the stress have not weighed myself, rationalizing I am in a tough time. well time is up! I need to get back in control of myself, no excuses anymore. My goals, are to weigh my food and record! No wine on weekdays, and no whining anyway !!!! I have time to work out so do it in the morning and hope I get a new job soon so I can then procrastinate working out again once more.

    RSW: 123
    UGW: 118
    RGW: 120

    Starting Round 291 : 123
    3/22 - 122.6
    3/23 -122.6- So happy, a pickleball club is opening not very far from my home. They had a soft opening this weekend, so played some fun games today, Yeah! Will not be open again until next Saturday, Boo!!! But easily burned a ton of calories doing something that brings me happiness.
    3/24 -121.8 Played wonderful games of pickleball yesterday so easily met and exceeded my fitness goals. Tracked my food, but need to do better, no snacks after dinner ate healthy. Up early getting ready to go to work on finding a job.
    3/25 -123😣 Mad at myself… I made bad food choices since I am a little mad about my situation. I did do a body pump (weight class) proud of that yeah! but had a glass of wine boo! with one of my favorite dishes fish piccata yeah! Working on organizing my Linkedin and who I am going to call. of the next 2 days, and scheduling workouts like the old not working me,

    Fell off the challenge bandwagon in round 256, managed to keep losing weight until June 12th when I hit 155.9 (70.7 kg). I fell off the weight loss wagon shortly after. Decided to start back up the day before Round 278 started.

    SW Rnd 291 143.3 (65 kg)

    3/22- 142.7 (64.7 kg) Another overnight whoosh. We shall see what tomorrow brings. I had a lot of sodium today.

    3/23- 142.9 (64.8 kg) Today was a rainy/snowy/sleety day. Light lunch, but heavy, high sodium dinner. Random fact I just learned today: there are women specific sleeping bags often with targeted extra insulation zones around the torso and feet. I had no idea. That's brilliant and now I want one.

    3/24- 143.7 (65.2 kg) Went to bed past my bedtime, didn't post 

    3/25- 143.4 (65 kg) It's a low energy day for me, probably due to going to bed later than normal. Strange dreams too. I dreamt the Barney ( yes, the purple dinosaur) characters had a side gig as a metal band. Scratching my head at where that came from.

    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 291(my 221st). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.

    Goals for this round;

    First and foremost, no feeding frenzies – I am not a shark or even a piranha!

    to weigh less at the end of the round than the start

    be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end

    I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.

    This is my posting format….

    Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed. / Comment

    3/21/25 : 227.8 SW a day before.

    3/22: 227.4
    Good morning at the gym yesterday, otherwise most of the rest of the day was parked in front of the boob tube watching NCAA basketball. TV is a trigger for me to eat a little snick-snack here and there. Kept it to a dull roar although there was some failure.

    I have a 50th High School class reunion this September. (I know, some of you weren’t born yet in 1975. Maybe for some of you, your parents weren’t born yet. HA!!!)I want to be at my goal weight before that.

    3/23: 227.4
    Second verse, same as the first (but without gym.)

    We did have a diversion. Friends celebrated their marriage with a little reception yesterday. A happy story. Kayak and fishing theme, hokey but fun. We each got our own little cup of “bait.” Gummy worms and frogs. I just sat there grazing on those worse-than-worthless snacks.

    Oh, and we are looking at upgrading our vehicle to a 7 passenger what-cha-ma-call-it. It’s not a van, it’s not an SUV. There are times where it would be nice to get another 2 couples into the car for a dinner (or something) out, or, to pile the kids and grandkids in for an outing. Here is the problem. To get into that third row it’s a combination of mountain climbing, yoga and spelunking. If one of them is wearing a skirt everyone else needs to wear a blindfold. Quite the task for our older friends (and for DW and me.) Maybe we should just punt and buy a Prius.

    3/24: 229.0
    This bump should have happened yesterday, but we all know about delayed penalties for misbehavior. Yesterday my fitbit/pixel watch says I burned 11 calories. 11!

    Seeking no system errors today!

    3/25: 227.8
    Ate a hair (or an entire mullet) too much yesterday, but rocked the exercise.

    And, we bought the what-cha-ma-call-it. Used Subaru Ascent. We will likely be passing the Outback down to the kiddos for the benefit and safety of the grand kiddos. (our real motivation for a new car)

    I saw a pickup truck in the showroom yesterday with a sticker price of $114,000! Limited edition. They had just sold it for $125,000. There was a bidding war evidently.

    3/26: 227.4
    Microscopic changes but trending downward.

    Today’s challenge: A couple lunch friends and I will be touring a local frozen pizza plant (small) run by another friend. They have a regional market, not quite national yet. Then it’s pizza for lunch at the plant.

    3/26-DNW-Went to lunch with friends and had a lovely hamburger in a bowl, no bun. We split an order of sweet potato fries 3 ways and was good. We had a couple of extra warm days so not much walking was done, but today s a different story. Bought plants for home and the pots down at the arena.
