4/01 - 166.8 - Wow, not at all what I was expecting this morning. I'll take it. I went over on carbs a bit with a sweet tooth. I had a single mini peanut butter cup from Quest - higher protein, less sugar but still pushed me over my 10g buffer on carbs. Oh well. Today I have a snack and dinner left but I'm feeling confident. The lentils yesterday really did wonders keeping me quite full well past my usual snack time (the afternoon slump that I can never seem to go without a snack? Lentils are the key apparently). I'll be incorporating those more often into my cuts simply for the filling factor. All else going well except sleep. As usual, I'm struggling with sleep while BF is gone - it happens every time. I'll adjust Thursday night/Friday morning just for him to be home again for 2 nights and repeat the process. At least it's the final 3 weeks and then he'll be home overnights for the foreseeable future.

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 291 144.1 (65.4 kg)

4/1- 143.1 (64.9 kg) I am keeping up on weighing but have been lackluster with my tracking and posting. I don't consciously feel burned out. So is it laziness? Complacency? Something else? I need to reset and get my head back in the mindset that this is a way of life. I've certainly failed many times just going my merry way and eating whatever without accountability.

10 day challenge 

F56 H 5’7” SW in 2016 was 165 lb 

GW 130-135 lb range LW 128 lb before the early 2020 lockdowns in the UK.

CW 144.8 after yo-yo-ing up and down for the last few years. Have yo-ed out of maintenance range so it’s time to take things in hand. 10 days sounds like a good focus to rinse and repeat so let’s go!

4/1 144.3 - walked to work and back (an hour all told) and did half an hour in the gym after work. Stayed within calories - a good day

@Chapter_3 I promise pictures next class. For real laughs would be videos!!!!

@pezhed I (and I believe the rest of the world) have a soft spot for three legged dogs. Also cats with one eye. Willie will be a super star- better prep him for the attention.

@itladyee Why doesn’t my scale listen when I tell it the number is too high???

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 292(my 222nd). 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.

EW RND 291 – 139.6

3/31 139.6 (trend 140.6) managed a very early 5.9 mile walk before leaving the camp site planning on visiting MIL. Halfway through the drive we had a phone call from her care home (she has advanced dementia) to say she had taken a turn for the worse. It's now a waiting game, taking turns with BIL & partner to sit at her bedside, at least she is comfortable and not in pain.

SW RND 292 139.6

4/1 DNW – spent last night at MIL’s bedside, trying to keep eating healthy, exercise out the window. Using yesterday’s number as my start weight; lost 1.8 pound last round.

4/2 138.4 (trend 140.2) MIL finally drifted away in the early hours, on her 88th birthday!! We suspected that she would despite the nurses & care staff telling us they doubted she would, we know her better!! Again, no exercise & very little sleep in the last 36 hours, now to sort all the arrangements etc.

04/02 175.4 I have been putting in the extra effort resisting the snack monster. I’m in my motivated, let’s crush this phase of my hormonal cycle. I’ve got two to three weeks before I need to eat my feelings.

When running my friends and I always say “don’t waste the downhill” this translates into my life kind of like “put in that extra effort when it’s feeling good”.

I love the old adage “Make hay while the sun shines”.

That’s my energy right now, I’m riding the lightening.

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 291
April 1 – 10, 2025

SW: 131.2

4/1 – 132.0 Yes, up, but ok with it. Last night, I went on a mini bender. Knew I was doing it, and allowed it. Today is a new day. My planned goal for round 292 was to get into the 131s. So was actually there yesterday. Going to target a number like 131 for end of round. Today is session #6 with the trainer. We are having gaps in our schedule, but I am ok with this as right now I am seeking education more than being “trained”.

4/2 – 132.6 This up is actually a surprise. Moving on. There are 8 more weigh-ins to get back to my starting number, with which I would be very happy. Today is association cocktail party by the pool. Yup, my next hurdle. Gym was good yesterday. Continuing to learn, but having to monitor my body parts. Yesterday, triggered left knee, but I stopped the activity immediately. Ribcage is improving, and black eye fading. :) Leaving for my walk in 3 minutes.

3/31/25 : 227.8 SW a day before.

Spoiler Warning

4/1: 228.4 (2336 CI)
This is not the best way to start a round, but I am not surprised. On the bright side, exercise was great yesterday. Food, not so great. I have put a lot of effort into logging my food that past few weeks. CI (calories in) has been pretty consistently over 2,000 before CO (calories out). Believe me, if I weren’t logging it would be over 3,000. Now I need to try to be more restrictive. I have set my goal on the app for 1,500,, but I will be happy if it slips to 1,700.

I am going to focus on a “word of the round.” GRATITUDE. I have so much for which to be thankful.

4/2: 226.4 (1731)
Nice little drop. I can’t believe it is because of the lower calories yesterday already, but food was at seriously lower sodium level than usual. Hmm.

I need to rachet up to yesterday’s behavior.

Rachet: a mechanism that consists of a bar or wheel having inclined teeth into which a pawl drops so that motion can be imparted to the wheel or bar, to allow effective motion in one direction only.

wishing you the best for you and your doggie. One of mine just had major leg surgery that depending on how the longer term recovery goes can still end up with amputation. I know the stress and worry that comes with that. I hope everything goes smooth and that your pup feels better.

4/2   134.5  In my opinion, this is ridiculous. I have been eating super low carb (under 20g total) but struggling to get enough protein without going over my fat macro. Yesterday afternoon I decided to add protein powder to my shake but I drank it hours after I normally eat. Maybe that’s why I’m up? FINALLY had TMI so we’ll see what tomorrow brings.

@pezhed ~ Sorry to hear about Willie. Keep us posted on how he's doing.

@Skyleen75 ~ if only the scale would always listen. I always weigh multiple times, usually 3 to make sure it's consistent. Every once in a while it changes, not always to my liking!

@musicsax ~ sorry to hear about your MIL. Prayers for your family.

4/01 - 166.8

4/02 - 166.6 - This was a nice surprise since I woke up feeling a bit puffy today and not near as light/lean as yesterday. I'm sure that has to do with how exhausted I feel. I did go to the gym but compromised by allowing myself to skip a couple exercises and take it easy. My body was telling me to slow it down and not to push so hard so I didn't, but still feel good that I got some blood pumping. Today's eating is nearly identical to Monday so I'm right on track with everything. Progress is being made, even when I'm not 100% perfect and that's key. Consistency really is the answer, not perfection.

Thank you, my MFP family, for the kind thoughts and best wishes.
