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.
4/2 143 (64.9 kg) I'm less than 2 weeks out from double jaw surgery and my surgeon called me this evening to say they found a cyst on my upper jaw over my incisor and he wants me to come in sometime in the next two days so he can check tooth vitality and decide whether to take care of it before surgery or during. I'm feeling a bit bummed because I have been in braces 33 months preparing for this and wasn't expecting a complication this late in the process. On the other hand, if I wasn't preparing for surgery who knows how long I'd have had this and what issues it may have caused down the line. I'm hoping my surgery doesn't need to delayed but I'll defer to my doctor's judgement on the best course of action. I guess I'll learn more in the next couple of days.
4/3- 143.4 (65 kg) So apparently I have a 21 mm cyst and it appears two of my teeth have issues from it. He'll remove the cyst during surgery, but I'm getting a last minute referral to an endodontist to develop a post surgical plan of action prior to surgery. Calories were spot on today, so there's another win.

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.
4/3 140 (trend 140.2) guessing this is from the earlier 2 days inactivity? 7.53 miles walked yesterday, perfect food day, caught up on sleep - solid 10 hours 19 mins!
4/4 138.4 (trend 139.9) - no structured walking, DD came to spend a few hours with us, cleared out MIL's room at trhe care home followed by some hours with BIL & partner to sort out what was wanted before funeral directors visit this morning.

4/1 Jumping into the full routine today. Planning day around activity and nutrition. Yesterday I FINALLY incorporated 7min of ⏱️HIIT (plyo jump training). Was waiting for the warmer weather …. 😎 no more excuses.
I know this round will be filled with emotional upheavals. I will prioritize /normalize #HSF and the positive daily habits I’ve accumulated to anchor my soul. When I “feel” the push-back— I will push through!
I sincerely thank you for your wisdom & caring support. While reading yesterday, I realized the strength and resilience this group generates…
I ❤️appreciate ❤️you!
4/2 Good day, Not enough 🥩. I’m exhausted and so is my upper body. We are cleaning out / up a rental property to put on the market. It will be our (my) project for the next month… initial cleaning of walls and floors, lifting 💩 … Getting ready for Painter. I haven’t been this wiped-out in a long time! Does that count as 🏋️♀️?! I’m calling it a YES! 😎. Another day of not enough protein, I’ll close the gap with a protein shake.
4/3 131.0 I’m always, ALWAYS amazed my daily weight fluctuations. When ⬇️ a pound I’m OK with it and I have an extra boost in my step. When ⬆️a pound it practically ruins my day. I KNOW THIS. So…. I’m mindful today with “no reaction” and continuing to do the work. Yesterday I was at the property all day… 🚶♀️7k steps but no structured walk. 80g 🥩-too little. Kcals too low. (1000). Good 💦
Yesterday was also an emotional roller coaster. I did a pretty good job shifting my mindset when I caught myself… I’m thankful that I haven’t turned to food… I could’ve walked 30 min last night when I got home, but my thoughts were too discombobulated. 🏋️♀️ would have made me feel better, but I did nothing. Today is a new day and I will push through with gratitude 🙏 & discipline . My normal reaction to stress is to curl up on the couch overthinking … But today, I will normalize & compartmentalize … take care of business - & that includes ME! Onward!
4/4 🎾 and property. Tired. Keep plugging. Good Morning & Happy Weekend!

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 292
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.
4/3 – 132.6 Diet was a mess by the end of the day yesterday. Did my morning walk, but left knee acted up on first lap. Shook it off and did two more (5 miles). Knee initially acted up on leg press at the gym Tuesday. I think that particular leg press machine is an issue for me as I have tried it twice. First time set off right knee. Second time the left. Good news about my weight is it does appear that this is my knew “high”, which is definitely better than the highs of two months ago.
4/4 – 132.2 My number where I spent most of round 291. Knee still wonky. Did no walk and no gym yesterday, so a rare nothing day. Diet numbers looked good. Today is gym with trainer again (will avoid knees), AND dining out AGAIN. Believe it or not, I am starting to find all the eating out and social food burdensome. But I am here in the keys for less than 3 more weeks.

This is my posting format….Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed. (Calories In)/ Comment
3/31/25 : 227.8 SW a day before.
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 CI)
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.
4/3: 227.4 (1916 CI)
I broke a cycle of more CI than CO. Even though the scale inched up a bit. Really good spinning class yesterday.BTW, I am not an excel savant, but I set up a trend column on my nerd spreadsheet. I think it gives me a look ten days out by looking at the past ten days. For the last ten days data I use a column that calculates a rolling ten-day average. I like ten-day averages because they paint a more realistic picture of where I really am. The good, the bad and the ugly. My trend for today is an ugly 229.2. This is in part due to the huge mistakes of last Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Those mistakes will be averaged in for almost 20 days of past data.
In short, my spreadsheet has no faith in me to do the right thing. It says, “seeing is believing.”
4/4: 228.8 (1893 CI)
Looking into options for a bike vacation with our “six-pack.” The six-pack = us + two other couples we have traveled with in the past ten or twelve years. We enjoy walking, hiking, biking, pickleball and general sight-seeing (and eating.) We usually rent a VRBO and enjoy day trips from that hub. We play cards in the evening. We must do as much as we can, while we still can….4/5

SW RND 292: 167.2
Starting from the ground up 🌱
Yesterday I lost it on some shrimp chips on the work snack table. Stress + that stupid snack table are my worst enemy. I can’t get rid of it I can’t avoid it I have to resist it. Super proud of myself that last night I went to get myself a little “cheat” candy from the kids’ cupboard, and then changed my mind and put it back. Those little decision moments are going to be the difference this time around. Weight loss isn’t a big decision, it’s a million tiny decisions 💪🏻
@desolate_angel good luck with the surgery!

SW RND 292 134.0
4/1 134.0 still no TMI sheesh. Nearly through the last messages from last round all of a sudden I need to log in! This is ridiculous. Now I seem to not be able to do that! If this post appears, I have been successful.
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.
4/3 133.0 WOW! I knew I was full of it! LOL I’m happy with this, VERY HAPPY. I changed my macros a couple of days ago but have come up short on protein until yesterday. I added a scoop of protein powder to 1/2 of my already high protein shake and drank that while I fixed dinner for DH. I ate some pieces of chicken while I cooked and had about 1/4 cup of “eggroll in a bowl” at the table with him while he ate. Today he’s going to lunch with blind friend. He made a distressing confession to me last night. He thinks he is going to have to stop driving soon.
4/4 133.0 Okay with this but wish we weren’t meeting friends at Golden Corral this afternoon! I plan to drink my shake before we leave the house. Hopeful that it will curb my eating. I plan to get a salad or veg and maybe a beef patty or baked fish.
*I’m also glad DH is considering giving up driving. I had asked him a year or so ago if he would stop if I told him it was necessary and he had said he would. We shall see what happens.

4/01- 166.84/02- 166.64/03- 167.04/04- 166.8 - Back down I head! I'm glad I've grown to weather these ups and downs without too much frustration - I know if I stay diligent, it'll eventually trend downward. And it is! My app has lowered my calories/macros a tiny but but I went ahead and changed it from low carb to standard. I was really struggling to meet my fat goal and honestly I was feeling rather sluggish. I wonder if I go back to balanced (slightly lower fat, slightly higher carb - still less than 150g/day so not horribly high) if I'll feel better. I have Monday-Thursday planned and logged next week but I need to include a bit more carb since I made that adjustment with my app check-in. Fortunately everything else stayed within my +/- 10g buffer nicely except carbs and it's only adding in about 30-35g per day. Even easier than having to remove 30-35g!7 -

After driving quite far to get home I found the furnace was not done. They ran into some issues. Too far and too tired to go out searching for another hotel so we're roughing it tonight at home. But couldn't pick up cat because it's still much too cold. At least the power is back on and we can plug in the eating pure. It doesn't heat up a room but if you stand 24 inches away or closer you can warm your bones back up. I went away for the day to my daughters where we could stay warm and will be okay tonight under the blankets. At least we have TV this time. No pipes or Frozen because there was no water in them with the power being out. I had had them on dribble and they well pump couldn't come on to refill them so I guess that worked out in my favor. Hopefully furnace will be in full commission by tomorrow and I can catch up on everyone's posts and get this house cleaned up dishes done Etc. It's nice to have water again and working toilets!

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.
4/2 143 (64.9 kg) I'm less than 2 weeks out from double jaw surgery and my surgeon called me this evening to say they found a cyst on my upper jaw over my incisor and he wants me to come in sometime in the next two days so he can check tooth vitality and decide whether to take care of it before surgery or during. I'm feeling a bit bummed because I have been in braces 33 months preparing for this and wasn't expecting a complication this late in the process. On the other hand, if I wasn't preparing for surgery who knows how long I'd have had this and what issues it may have caused down the line. I'm hoping my surgery doesn't need to delayed but I'll defer to my doctor's judgement on the best course of action. I guess I'll learn more in the next couple of days.
4/3- 143.4 (65 kg) So apparently I have a 21 mm cyst and it appears two of my teeth have issues from it. He'll remove the cyst during surgery, but I'm getting a last minute referral to an endodontist to develop a post surgical plan of action prior to surgery. Calories were spot on today, so there's another win.
4/4 141.9 (64.4 kg) Over calories today but I had a fun evening.

EW RND 291 – 139.6
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.
4/3 140 (trend 140.2) guessing this is from the earlier 2 days inactivity? 7.53 miles walked yesterday, perfect food day, caught up on sleep - solid 10 hours 19 mins!
4/4 138.4 (trend 139.9) - no structured walking, DD came to spend a few hours with us, cleared out MIL's room at the care home followed by some hours with BIL & partner to sort out what was wanted before funeral directors visit this morning.
4/5 138.4 (trend 139.7) another busy day, Registrars office & also a walk to Funeral Directors & back to get 6.83 miles walk in.

This is my posting format….Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed. (Calories In)/ Comment
3/31/25 : 227.8 SW a day before.
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 CI)
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.
4/3: 227.4 (1916 CI)
I broke a cycle of more CI than CO. Even though the scale inched up a bit. Really good spinning class yesterday.BTW, I am not an excel savant, but I set up a trend column on my nerd spreadsheet. I think it gives me a look ten days out by looking at the past ten days. For the last ten days data I use a column that calculates a rolling ten-day average. I like ten-day averages because they paint a more realistic picture of where I really am. The good, the bad and the ugly. My trend for today is an ugly 229.2. This is in part due to the huge mistakes of last Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Those mistakes will be averaged in for almost 20 days of past data.
In short, my spreadsheet has no faith in me to do the right thing. It says, “seeing is believing.”
4/4: 228.8 (1893 CI)
Looking into options for a bike vacation with our “six-pack.” The six-pack = us + two other couples we have traveled with in the past ten or twelve years. We enjoy walking, hiking, biking, pickleball and general sight-seeing (and eating.) We usually rent a VRBO and enjoy day trips from that hub. We play cards in the evening. We must do as much as we can, while we still can….4/5: 229.8 (1883 CI)
I am no angel, but I don’t really understand how I have been climbing the ladder this way the past few days. Perhaps mis-logging? Sodium? I did start taking protein powder a couple days ago because my diet is so protein-poor. Is it causing inflammation? Or maybe careless empty calorie and carb intake? Bingo!4/6

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 292
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.
4/3 – 132.6 Diet was a mess by the end of the day yesterday. Did my morning walk, but left knee acted up on first lap. Shook it off and did two more (5 miles). Knee initially acted up on leg press at the gym Tuesday. I think that particular leg press machine is an issue for me as I have tried it twice. First time set off right knee. Second time the left. Good news about my weight is it does appear that this is my knew “high”, which is definitely better than the highs of two months ago.
4/4 – 132.2 My number where I spent most of round 291. Knee still wonky. Did no walk and no gym yesterday, so a rare nothing day. Diet numbers looked good. Today is gym with trainer again (will avoid knees), AND dining out AGAIN. Believe it or not, I am starting to find all the eating out and social food burdensome. But I am here in the keys for less than 3 more weeks.
4/5 – 132.4 This morning I am actually grateful for such a number. Day started well. Pre-tracked my plan. Went to the gym and did my hour with the trainer emphasizing education. Our whole workout was no machines and man what a workout. Get home, and it is now 1:30. Our friends cancelled dinner with us, but we decide to go anyhow. Great. Plan is still good. I plan my order as tracked, and hubby asks about splitting the conch fritters with my. I figured two little blobs would be untracked, but I would still not be “over”. These things came and they were the size of oranges. Argh. Ate my two. Dinner comes and I will up early, go I end up taking half my fish home (a little compensation). Then, just as we are asking for the check, we get a text from neighbors that as a thank you (another story), they just left fresh baked chocolate chip cookies on the doorstep. Soooooo, we get home, and I have one. Now mind has shifted gears. I proceed to eat a second. Then I go tp the refrigerator and start eating my leftovers, I was thinking about getting into the freezer too for frozen treats. Crazy how “nothings” can trigger me. Today is a new day. I overslept, but will catch my walking friends on the second lap. Here we go.

4/1 Jumping into the full routine today. Planning day around activity and nutrition. Yesterday I FINALLY incorporated 7min of ⏱️HIIT (plyo jump training). Was waiting for the warmer weather …. 😎 no more excuses.
I know this round will be filled with emotional upheavals. I will prioritize /normalize #HSF and the positive daily habits I’ve accumulated to anchor my soul. When I “feel” the push-back— I will push through!
I sincerely thank you for your wisdom & caring support. While reading yesterday, I realized the strength and resilience this group generates…
I ❤️appreciate ❤️you!
4/2 Good day, Not enough 🥩. I’m exhausted and so is my upper body. We are cleaning out / up a rental property to put on the market. It will be our (my) project for the next month… initial cleaning of walls and floors, lifting 💩 … Getting ready for Painter. I haven’t been this wiped-out in a long time! Does that count as 🏋️♀️?! I’m calling it a YES! 😎. Another day of not enough protein, I’ll close the gap with a protein shake.
4/3 131.0 I’m always, ALWAYS amazed my daily weight fluctuations. When ⬇️ a pound I’m OK with it and I have an extra boost in my step. When ⬆️a pound it practically ruins my day. I KNOW THIS. So…. I’m mindful today with “no reaction” and continuing to do the work. Yesterday I was at the property all day… 🚶♀️7k steps but no structured walk. 80g 🥩-too little. Kcals too low. (1000). Good 💦
Yesterday was also an emotional roller coaster. I did a pretty good job shifting my mindset when I caught myself… I’m thankful that I haven’t turned to food… I could’ve walked 30 min last night when I got home, but my thoughts were too discombobulated. 🏋️♀️ would have made me feel better, but I did nothing. Today is a new day and I will push through with gratitude 🙏 & discipline . My normal reaction to stress is to curl up on the couch overthinking … But today, I will normalize & compartmentalize … take care of business - & that includes ME! Onward!
4/4 🎾 and property. Tired. Keep plugging.
4/5 worked at the property yesterday. Good nutrition, good sleep - continuing to track. Still ⬇️ protein.
