🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 295 (my 225th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.
Goals for every 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.

It made me realise how dependent on the digital world, even to cancel the cards was a major operation without being able to access my bank tel. number – I borrowed my son’s phone but as soon as I dialled the bank it linked up with his accounts!! What a palava!! My life is on the ‘phone ☹

And then a further development, Derbyshire Police have contacted Moseley Old Hall where I volunteer, they have my ‘phone & are trying to return it to me! But to find the individual or even station where it is, is proving difficult to say the least. (My volunteering ID was in the ‘phone case together with my bank cards). A lesson I have learnt from this; to keep a note in the case of DH’s phone number to contact in case of either emergency or finding it, but I’m planning to be more careful in future!!

5/1 132.4 Major goal this round is to start 🏋️♂️⏱️by mid-round. I’ve had a a few good days strung together, so let’s keep up this momentum… And, just a few more days of rest and I will conquer! Definitely want to fully eliminate 🎢 behaviors. Stay even. Continue 🙆♀️🚶♀️💓💦🏆(WOE: Whole Food, single ingredient nutrition). Choose my identity (mindset) and live it. #HSF #bestshapeofmylife #ENGAGED #agingyounger
5/2 132.8 Great until dinner out with friends last night. Mexican with all the trimmings. NSV: I didn’t over-eat. Just ate a small portion of 💩(chips & salsa & cheese dip). After the evening, I noticed that I never truly had the correct mindset going into dinner - deep down I knew I was going to explore the chips and salsa. I didn’t strap on my #HSF identity going into dinner. That’s an “after the fact NSV”- never would’ve recognized previously. Nuanced thought process. Start again today !!
5/3 132.8 more routine, though tempted to eat larger portions and refrained. That’s a great NSV! Solid hydration and nutrition. Protein 🥩 100g. Kept 💦 with me all day. Good night sleep! Oh, a fox crossed right in front of me on my walk… So fast! Onward!
5/4 131.6 solid day yesterday slowly getting back into a good routine. IF, whole food, single ingredient, 🥩 💦 for the win.
Walking this morning. This afternoon is a baby shower for our granddaughter, Eleanor, due June 26. I am going to strap on my #HSF identity! Food is fuel! 💪🏻
PS- I can tell that I’ve lost muscle / strength from not 🚫 since February… I’m looking forward to 🏋️♂️ & body weight & core exercises tomorrow! (my R tricep is still giving me a few issues - will start on lower body). Have a great Sunday everyone . Get it done!! #HSF
5/5 132.0 woke up at 2:30AM got up at 4:30AM. Decided to ⚖️because I was curious… it’s simply too darn early! Lovely afternoon at the baby shower! I ate more carbs than expected, but did not overindulge. Today: same plan - let’s put it in action!
(oh, I heard from the neighbor yesterday and she’s delivering a formal purchase offer this morning!) 🙏 I really hope the offer is close to asking… We sincerely want them to get this property. She is in her mid 70s and her husband is 80. He has early onset dementia so their future is uncertain. They own the large house / property across the street - pool, huge yard, etc. They want to move into our small cottage and her son with three children would buy her house. She shared w/ me that she would play at our cottage with her friend when she was eight years old! It would be perfect for them! 🙏
5/6 DNW 🚶♀️7.5k. Obsessed with purchase offer. 🎉🎉🎉Clean full price offer - no contingencies- (they only want an inspection and appraisal - knowing the property is sold “As is” ) This was definitely meant to be! I ate a full Rueban for lunch to celebrate… Why is food continuously THE celebration? It was so much for me at lunch that I didn’t eat the rest of the day except for a 4oz ground meat patty around 6 PM. Not enough water and horrible sleep. Back on track today!
5/7 132.2 Good day. Back on track. However, I was planning on 🏋️♂️⏱️ but made dumb excuses. When I picked up DGS, we were going to work out together, but this low pressure system rolled in, I made the excuse to not work out and to bring him straight home to avoid torrential rain… shoulda, coulda… now we’re in for three full days of record rainfall & flash flooding. Ugh. Probably won’t get in 🚶♀️, but will🏋️♂️. Promise. Will reflect. Be present. Choose positive self-talk. #HSF.
5/8 131.0 🏋️♂️ but for only 10 minutes… I have to lower my weights and probably start over. Wanted to make I didn’t overdo it. 🚶♀️6k - didn’t make my goal, but not too awful considering. 🥩 good (but missed IF & net Carbs over 15) Woke up on edge this morning because the inspection is today. I know it’s out of my hands but still has me discombobulated & edgy. After coffee, 🙆♀️, pray breathe - will 🚶♀️10k today between showers. 🏋️♂️with lighter weights & 💦. More baby steps.
131.0 my weight is definitely a function of consistently eating single ingredient foods prepared by me. When eating out, ingredients are mysterious. Many times someone might say, oh I had too much sodium… I’m reading that we have been led astray as to a healthy sodium level. The true problem lies in seed oils and other ingredients combined with sodium that leads to bloat, puffiness & fluid retention. Basically, I am a salt-alcoholic. I retain fluids when sodium is combined with other unhealthy, cooking methods, oils and bad carbs .… I encourage everyone to read up. Again, I am not an expert. It’s just what works for me. And today’s truth bomb here… We all know what works for us. It’s a matter of doing it, committing and doing it consistently. Find your WHY.
NSV: I gave myself a 🏋️♂️even though 10 minutes… I’m giving myself a participation trophy. It’s really hard getting back into it and scary because I don’t want to over do it. Today I will add ⏱️ (the simplest form of plyo imaginable).
It’s Friday! #ENGAGED #HSF #agingyounger
#justfortoday.
⚠️ long post:
PS NSV I read through my comments this round (& earlier), and I realized how much my habits really have changed… My “bad” days really aren’t that “bad”compared to what they were 2+ years ago… I have developed habits, and when I go off track, I quickly know it and correct course… i’m actually engaged with my body mind and soul. I do not miss drinking more than I should, eating more than I should, eating 💩, laziness on the couch… don’t miss any of it at all! Developing a new life with movement does take time and I’m so glad I’m here and I’m so glad I’m working it! Yes, it is work and I know that I always feel satisfied after I work hard at something! TBH, I don’t feel “denied“… I actually feel fresh and connected. Working hard for my health is worth it.
❤️❤️❤️

This is my posting format….Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed. (Calories-In yesterday)/ Comment
4/30/25 : 225.2 SW a day before.
5/1: 227.4 (?CI)
This SW on the 30th is an anomaly (low) but I will try harder than I did yesterday to beat it. Although I had a very vigorous spin class, my snacking was a bit (a lot) over the top and I did not log it all.Tromping through the woods again this morning. It will be a lot of steps, in a bit of rain. Woof woof! I wish I had the same tenacity for Calories-In as I do for Calories-Out. During spin class I was unstoppable. I like to picture myself breaking away from the peloton, leaving them in the dust. I left it ALL on the bike. How can I bring the same energy to my eating discipline?
5/2: 226.8 (1798 CI)
Eating was good yesterday. Exercise was over the top good, for my legs anyway.Here is something I am grateful for. I just thought of this. THANK YOU ALL FOR KEEPING POLITICS OUT OF THIS GROUP!!!!! I have never noticed any. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! It is so important to focus on the main purpose of this group and not get tangled up in divisive side issues. That is all.
5/3: 227.4 (1844 CI)
Dreadful dinner out last night.5/4: 228.4 (2087 CI)
At least I got a bit of exercise by mowing the grass and walking. Just too chilly and windy for me to enjoy a bike ride. Not all CI are equal. I gave platform to the wrong ones yesterday.5/5: 225.8 (2140 CI)
I don’t understand this at all…. CI were high but tightly bunched. We had beef and noodles for lunch, then went to a graduation party at 2:30, where we had “second lunch” (kind of like second breakfast Frodo) which included ice cream. At least it was only popcorn for supper.Speaking of LOTR, there are times when I am like Gollum and food is “my precious.” It’s not pretty.
5/6: 224.4 (1368 CI)
The mystery continues. Lower CI yes, but really? Chickens will eventually come home to roost I know.
Maybe use this as inspiration to keep going down.5/7: 225.4 (2095 CI)
Just think of the progress I could make if I were fully committed. Currently over my starting weight but under my previous ten-day average by over a pound. At the end of last round I was trending to 228. Currently I am trending to 225.5/8: 226.0 (2002 CI)
MFP just told me I have achieved the “10,000 likes” badge. I want to thank my agent, my trainer, my writers, my sponsors, the make-up crew and my DW. (I see some of you are already members)5/9: 226 (2039 CI)
Marie Callender Chicken Pot Pie. DW actually asked me if I wanted one or two. I checked the nutrition panel before answering. 610 calories for one little pie! I victoriously said “one please.” Those things are from the devil. I could eat them until I pop.My CI has been consistently around 2000. I am not trying hard enough. I was on the go yesterday, but none of it actually counts as exercise. By evening I declared myself deserving of some rest. I watched TV like a boss. I need to expect more from myself. I am surrounded by unread books and little unfinished projects around the house. Time to wake up.

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 295
May 1 - 10, 2025
SW: 129.2
5/1 - 129.0 Down a touch more. I made it to Planet Fitness yesterday. Tracking was excellent. Today will be a local morning walk. Unpacking still underway. I told hubby to give me through Sunday to get things in order. Some more dresses arrived at my front door yesterday. I am starting to learn what looks better on me and what I been to avoid. Sizing is confusing as it changes with designer (is that really a surprise). Would be great if whatever I find only needs hem work.
5/2 – 130.0 Did a great walk yesterday. Was spot on for calories all day, until later evening. I knowingly ate extra food. I will say that it was nice not waking up hungry this morning, as has often been the case this last month. Scale making me pay for it, but today is going to be a good day.
5/3 – 130.8 This is what happens with a second day of that same bad behavior. And, yesterday had no exercise. Still getting the house in order and unpacking boxes from the truck.
5/4 – 129.6 No exercise, but spot on for calories. Need to make sure this slippage in exercise does not continue. It is ok if there are a few days off as I settle back in, but I have the habit of dropping my exercise when I return home in May.
5/5 – 129.6 No exercise again. It was a complicated day, and limited access to food options. Made it challenging as I spent a lot of time overly hunger (like hours worth) and then once a meal was available, I ate and tracked, but had such a difficult time getting the hunger to go away. It was so very hard not to binge in order to quiet it. I made it through, and that is good enough. No damage. Ultimately, I will be happy if I close this round still in the 129s.
5/6 – 129.8 Complicated hunger day again. I would love to sort this out. Is my metabolism different? Why all the hunger? Anyhow, I continued to regroup during the day and final calorie count was acceptable. I did go to the gym. Tried just doing a “pull” day as defined by internet. It included something called an Arnold press (variant on an overhead press). Anyhow, my back has been in pain ever since doing that move. Should I try it again, I think I will lower the weight as my form is likely off and causing the issue.
5/7 – 130.0 No reason that I am aware of. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
5/8 – DNW Went on complete bender last night. I check the damage tomorrow morning.
5/9 – 132.0 Well there you go. I did it again last night. I am starting into those stress eating patterns. Gotta stop this NOW!

@Chapter_3 I don’t know if it’s wacky hormones or Spring pollen but I teared up reading that. Especially knowing your mother thought to clip it out and give it to you. In this digital age of memes, I think there is nothing sweeter then a clip from a newspaper.

5/08 177.05/09 178.1 I’m all talk and no action!!! Actually I had a highly action packed day but I finished it off with Pina Coladas. Thankfully I did have a salad for dinner and prepped it before I had two drinks (welp, yep that would be basically two coconut pineapple milkshakes). DH pizza was looking really good in my buzzed condition but my salad was ready to go and a good balance to my calorie bombs.
Today is a total washout rain day, pouring buckets all day. I have lots of in door projects and I’m excited to get a few things done. Including maybe a rainy afternoon dog snuggle to watch a movie.
No exercise today, went way hard on Thursday with my one hardcore friend. It was just the two of us and we have a tendency to push each other. She’s the only woman I work out with who is stronger than me so I’m working to catch her and she’s working to keep her status. It’s all good natured but if I pick up twenties she grabs twenty fives. My upper body needs to recover!

F, 59, SW-187, Sept.’14
UGW- 135
RGW:135Thank you @quiltingjaine 🌸
5/2-137-Today marks 30 pounds I’ve lost since November 1st. Everyone is different, but what works for me is this: I listened to The Plant Paradox and The Longevity Pradox each by Dr. Gundry. I did not buy any of his products, but paid attention to his way of eating (not religiously, but 90% of the time). I also started making kefir and yogurt (which are fermented food and easy to do) out of goats milk. I did not have time to exercise due to the holidays, but still lost the weight. All that this way of eating has done for me, is take the bad carbs out and I feel so good. His way of eating, is avoiding lectins and treating fruit like candy and only eating it on the weekends. I was making fruit smoothies every morning and gaining weight and something had to stop, so I tried this and feel good. Yes, I still go out to eat Mexican food, but I only eat 1/4 of the basket of chips and do not have rice and beans with my taco and tostada. I am not trying to get anyone to follow this because I now we are all different. It’s just what works for me.
Off to play pickle ball then exercise the horse.5/3-136-Saturday
5/4-RTW (Refuse To Weigh)
5/5-140-And that is the result of eating what ever I wanted to over the weekend. It will probably take half of the week to get back to my Saturday AM. weight.
5/6-138-Off to sew with The Dutch Mafia (a very nice group of Dutch ladies) that gather once a month…they have been sweet to include me in their group and I figured I should attend since I’m due to host them next month. We bring our own lunch, so I’ll have a salad with meat.
5/7-136-Back to my Saturday morning weight and it’s Wednesday. Same thing is going to happen this weekend with my boys getting here Friday night and me cooking for them. I’ll basically eat what they eat, but within reason and control.
5/8-136- Off to play pickle ball then exercise the horse and give him a bath. Quilt guild meeting tonight and I will not eat any of the snacks.
5/9-135-Hit my RGW and want to stay there. Adult boys are arriving starting tonight after dinner so I can have another “normal” day eating. I can also attempt to control myself while they are here and not go off the rails. It’s heating up, so game on, getting everything done early.

🦀 Hormones! Yup I was right. Caved to the office candy table yesterday. Wasn’t even worth it made me feel gross. In this whole journey I am learning food and exercise aren’t the problem. It’s stress and emotion that pull me down every time. Feeling a bit better today. Going to make sure I get a good walk in at lunch, and eat my chicken for lunch instead of just snacking.
Inspiring posts yesterday you guys! Loved reading them all. Love this morning check in.

I am 68, soon to be 69 and I've lost 50 pounds in the last six months. I usually walk 15-20K steps (5-7 miles) a day. I am a little creaky at times but no more I think than I would be at 30 doing all that walking.

Greatful to everyone for being here as I flake in and out. I'm trying to re-establish the good habits that I've let go.
Goals this time around:
Post daily especially when it's not convenient
Exercise for a minimum 500 calorie burn daily
Hold calories down and build meals around quality protein and fats
This was once normal but now it's a goal. Consistency for the next three rounds should get me back to normal.
Best Wishes for SUCCESS Everyone. Yes We Can!
SW Rnd 295 - 153.0 lbs
5/1 - 152.8 lbs
Good start today. Posting now is not convenient but I'm doing it any way. Hope to hit the gym and handle the day's meals before sunrise. I need a win today. A bit of order to the chaos and meeting today's goals would be a big win.
5/2 - 152.8 lbs
Yesterday's good start didn't last and today began poorly. 🤞 I can clean this up and end well.
Thanks so much for the support and mentions since I've returned. You nudge me in the right direction when I'd rather miss behave.
5/3 - 155.0 lbs
Shame on me! Nothing but misbehaving and the scale proves it. I could see it in my ankles first.
Not hitting my targets so far. No mercy and no excuses. Must do right!
5/4 - 152.8 lbs
Still bloated due to bad eating. Way off every mark would be an accurate description yet I have improved. Only miniscule, but still better.
These goals I've set are ridiculously easy. My plan is to work my way back to normal. Why do I feel like I've outlined an arduous feat never before considered by mankind? This is crossing the border into stupidity.
Warning to self: Life may hand me chaos but I don't need to let this chaos take over unrelated areas of my life.
5/5 - 151.6 lbs
I've got the steroid crazies. Just call me Evil-leen 👹. Still working on getting my act together. My best health will make managing any situation easier.
5/6 - 153.8 lbs
Extra bloated after eating a late heavy dinner just before bed time yesterday. I'm behind on recording foods but calories should be okay. Exercise goals were a miss.
Not good yet shamefully still better. Zero sweet or salty snacks and no nibbling. This is not a win but I can fairly give myself a thumbs up for a tiny accomplishment.
5/7 - 154.6 lbs
Better yesterday and I'll top that today. Gain is a normal fluctuation from weighing after a meal and lots of liquids. Water retention is nearly gone since I've resisted extra salty foods and sugar.
Exercise is still way off. Each day has been like a run away train. Instead of the gym, I need to start each day with a home routine. Exercise can be done anywhere.
My mat work is always at home. Cardio wherever and however I'm feeling it. What I miss is the gym equipment that helps me build muscle more efficiently.
I'll try getting the basics done at home throughout the day. When I get a break I can head to the gym for the equipment. Fortunately everything is close enough for this to work.
5/8 - 158.6 lbs
Yesterday I weighed but didn't log on so here it is a day late.
Massive increase because I'm back on the sugar & salt. Still not reaching my targets because I'm not working hard enough at this.5/9 - 157.4 lbs
Still behaving badly. Heavy water retention. Big sigh, I'll figure out how best to re focus.There is so much "noise" right now. I need to figure out how best to isolate each of what I have named "urgent needs". Right now none of these needs are being properly met.

05/08- DNW 💠 -(Trend Weight: DNW) My son (the autistic one) took me out for an early birthday dinner last night. I had penne pasta in alfredo sauce with steak tips on top and gorgonzola cheese with a balsamic glaze dribbled on top and garnished with cherry tomatoes. It came with garlic bread. It was delicious but so very salty due to the gorgonzola cheese. I thought it was very sweet of him. Not weighing today. My belly is hanging over my jeans. I’ll have DGS and daughter until Friday night (at least). Meeting the bus today and I can’t wait to see him!
🎪🎪🎪 🎪 05/09-194.0 💠 - (Trend Weight: 195.3) I usually don’t weigh on Fridays because it’s either way earlier than usual or way later due to a medication schedule (and DGS bus/sleeping schedule) but decided to go ahead anyway today. Normally I don’t see it as a direct comparison to the day before but I didn’t weigh yesterday so I think its okay. Weight level with my last weigh in, which is a relief because I know it was up from lots of sodium and bloat inducing foods. Trend weight shows me I was right. Back to square one here, but still down 2 lbs from the start of the round so I’ll move forward gratefully. Big plans for my birthday tomorrow but that’s a bridge I’ll cross during the first few days of next round. I’m enjoying all your posts!

Comments pertain to previous day

SW Rnd 295 134.0
5/1 134.5 Going to Golden Corral today. UGH
5/2 135.5 That’s probably the weight of the piece of fried chicken I ate. It was a large breast. I am disgusted with myself AND with DH. My trigger finger is acting up again and I have a headache - migraine or sinus???
5/3 135.0 Jimmy John’s #8 Unwich for lunch/OMAD yesterday
5/4 134.0 Very stressful day yesterday. DH has put some $$ in a “safe place” and it is SO SAFE that he spent all day yesterday looking for it! It is still MIA.
5/5 135.0 Great Greek for lunch yesterday. Small Greek salad with chicken and steak souvlaki- approximately 6 ounces of meat divided between early lunch and supper.
5/6 134.0 Egg, broccoli and cheese casserole for brunch. Finished the chicken and steak from Greek for supper.
5/7 134.0 Green bean and beef casserole, 1.5 oz extra sharp cheddar. Started thinking about former neighbor was supposed to be here this week. She passed in late February. I had a glass of Seagrams VO and water - her favorite. Scale showed 132.5 then stubbornly jumped to 134.0 and wouldn’t budge!
5/8 133.5 A small drop. Lunner today will be shrimp and spaghetti squash Alfredo.
5/9 133.0 Going to BBQ for OMAD and will have a green veg later for snack.

🏃♀️ 5/1: 192.6: I will try and focus on having one good day at a time. My goals for the rest of the day: Avoid the leftover Easter candy! Walk for 20 min on my treadmill. Estimate calories.
🏃♀️ 5/2: 191.9: I didn't walk, but I did track my calories, which is a step in the right direction. I ate the perfect amount today, too. I just have to avoid midnight snacking!

I didn't lose this week, but that's no reason not to try again next round! I estimated my calories for today, and I'm already 253 calories over. The good news is that I can keep that number from going any higher today.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 295 (my 225th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.
Goals for every 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.
Spoiler Warning
I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life.

4/30 141.8 (trend 141.3) 7.72 miles walked. 1.2 pound increase this round; need to have a successful next round.
EW RND 294 – 141.8
SW Rnd 295 141.4
5/1 141.4 (trend 141.4) 10.57 miles walked.
5/2 140.8 (trend 141.3) 4.86 miles walked; busy day with invigilating for exams all day at a local school followed by nails appointment. (Just completely again to get it right!.)
5/3 DNW - came away with the caravan to Weston's cider producers in Much Marcle, 8.37 miles walked. Latter posting cuz MFP was playing up again on my phone 🫣.
5/4 May the Fourth be with you! Happy Star Wars Day. DNW 7.62 miles walked.
5/5 DNW9.9.86 miles walked.
5/6 140.8 (trend 141.1) 6.76 miles walked before we travelled home.
5/6 140.8 (trend 141.1) 6.76 miles walked before we travelled home.5/7 142.85/8 142.8 Yesterday I lost the ability to do so much! I lost my ‘phone & with it my bank & credit cards. It made me realise how dependent on the digital world, even to cancel the cards was a major operation without being able to access my bank tel. number – I borrowed my son’s phone but as soon as I dialled the bank it linked up with his accounts!! What a palava!! My life is on the ‘phone ☹5/9 141.6 – DH bought me a new ‘phone, but to keep my number I have to wait for the sim to be delivered through the post, may be tomorrow or Monday. And then a further development, Derbyshire Police have contacted Moseley Old Hall where I volunteer, they have my ‘phone & are trying to return it to me! But to find the individual or even station where it is, is proving difficult to say the least. (My volunteering ID was in the ‘phone case together with my bank cards). A lesson I have learnt from this; to keep a note in the case of DH’s phone number to contact in case of either emergency or finding it, but I’m planning to be more careful in future!!
5/10 140 – well that’s a surprise!! I did get on the scales twice to confirm! But I am pleased. That’s a lose of 1.8 pounds, but I look back at photos of a few years ago & I do need to get back down to mid 135’s. On a side note, I still haven’t got my ‘phone back it seems that the police have lost it too, there is no record of where it is or who made the ‘phone call, I’m beginning to think it was an impostor trying to get my address, or am I being little too suspicious? Still awaiting the sim for my new ‘phone. See you all in the new round.
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!! 👍👍.
