SW Rnd 301 134.0
6/30 133.5 Headache, going to water fitness anyway
7/1 135.0??? Did water fitness, Walmart, nail appointment. Lots of movement - UGH! Going to lunch with neighbor today. I need to fast for a week!
7/2 133.0 lunch was canceled so I fasted until 3:30. Then had 2 small hotdogs with 1 oz cheddar, no bread. Weather is iffy today and tomorrow with high wind warnings and dust storm warnings. I’m drinking my version of BP coffee minus heavy cream. I have been adding waaaay too much of that to coffee - every cup instead of just the first cup. Today- zero cream, only 1T Mary Newport oil blend. The Weather Channel said thunderstorms at 7:30 and I just heard thunder at 7:20!
7/3 134.0 OMAD yesterday was “Chicago Style Dog” and fries. Not a great choice but nothing really appealed to me. I don’t care for the “snap” that our Chicago friends love.
7/4 133.5 🇺🇸Happy Birthday, USA!🇺🇸 “Picnic” this afternoon.
EDIT: Water fitness and water walking - 2 hours - 300 cal
7/5 134.5 7 weeks until DGS’s wedding No TMI x 2
7/6 132.0 A few more days like this would make me super happy. I wasn’t hungry so I didn’t eat.

When maintenance is celebrated! Also planning ahead cuz of social events this week

Had dinner with a friend. Rose and flourless chocolate cake plus potatoes with cheese which I don’t often eat. Back to the gym and weight loss mode!

SW RND 3️⃣0️⃣1️⃣ ~ 231 Goal this round 227.6 or less than started, whichever comes first!
6/30 231.2
7/1 231 ~ New Month. Working to control the things that I can! Apple has a sense of humor. I closed all my rings 19 times last month. Guess what my monthly goal is for July, close all your rings 19 times! At least it's doable and somewhat motivating as I'm 6/6 on receiving the awards in 2025 and I want to be 12/12. I hope they don't give me something outrageous in the months to come. I was 9/12 in 2024 and 10/12 in 2023.
7/2 231 ~🍎💧🚫 yesterday was a work day, so nothing extra, did get my exercise in and my steps but fell a bit short on closing my rings….late post for today ~ it was a long day, had to drive down (90 min) to take my sister to an MRI. She’s still not aware of her diagnosis, just that they need some additional test. Still hoping to get to speak with the doctor before her next appointment next Tuesday. Somewhat of a stressful day and didn’t plan meals well. Did get on the treadmill this morning and I will close my rings. Tomorrow may just be a RTW day! Looking forward to a nice long walk tomorrow!
7/3 230.4 ~🚶🏽🍎💧🚫⬇️ I'm glad I didn't refuse to weigh…it wasn't bad at all even though we ended the day with pizza and salad! My first AM weigh was 230.8, my after 3 mile walk was 229.0, so I'm reporting the average for my mental state…. I need to see some movement! I did close my rings yesterday and I will also close today.
7/4 230.8 ~🚶🏽✅💧
7/5 230.6 ~ 🚶🏽🍎✅💧⬇️ I'm tired from all the patio exercise yesterday :) It's been gloomy all morning with a 75% chance of rain within the hour. Looks like a day to reengage with my VR set.

7/9@deepwoodslady~ congrats on popping into the next decade! I know you bounced out for a heartbeat, but that is just temporary.
@SModa61 ~ I recall weight watchers meetings where women would go to/from the bathroom to remove "things" to be lighter on the scale! Those must have been some huge diamonds!!! And thank you re my sister. This week be the defining week as we see the doctor on Tuesday. I hope they have reviewed ALL the results and are ready with a plan….
@quiltingjaine~ love your "tiny" story!!
@Chapter_3 ~ Excellent picture!!! Such precious memories you're making!!
@CamandJarvis ~ Oh my!! 7ft to over 29ft…in a matter of hours…yikes…. I am so sorry….Prayers sent.
@globalhiker ~ looking good!!
@musicsax ~ Beautiful scenic photo. Safe travels home.
@Zaxa2021 ~ Very nice drop!
@Chapter_3 ~ what scale did you get? I had that experience early on this year but the opposite direction. Granted I made some changes and the scale was dropping almost a pound a day…. after about 4 days in a row, I thought…this can't be right…it wasn't!
Patio!!! Finally ~ I am so excited and pleased with the outcome. They finished on Friday but we couldn't do anything on it until Saturday, so spent the entire day putting it together and then relaxed a bit..on the patio, or course. We have some additional landscaping to be completed but apparently that's still two weeks out. Not sure why these guys are so behind but I'm happy to have my patio!
How to be positive – Say “I can,” instead of “I can’t!”
💜MY MISSION STATEMENT💜
Show up for myself daily—with strength, grace, and purpose.
Choose progress over perfection and stay the course.
Honor my body through movement, nourishment, and belief.
Each step moves me closer to my healthiest, happiest self.
I am strong. I am steady. I am unstoppable.8 -
Beautiful patio. Worth the wait!

I will not be weighing tomorrow. DD’s 6 kittens were born just after midnight this morning. So beautiful! I’m going by to visit them on the way to my other DD’s house for the Big Bang BBQ. I’ll post pics later.
💥💥💥 07/06-DNW 💠 - - (Trend Weight: DNW) Our BBQ celebration for Independence Day was a day late (yesterday) but not a dollar short, as they say. Plenty of food. Too much sitting. Someone should have brought the corn hole game! I need at least a one day buffer from the scale. I will strive for today to be good. DD and DGS left early today so that will help for sure. I will also try to get in some exercise. Rain today so it will all be indoors.

The new challenge is posted.
I want to thank @quiltingjaine for keeping us all motivated for so many years & I hope I can continue to do her justice.
If there is anything incorrect please do not hesitate to point it out to me - I feel quite apprehensive taking over this responsibility :).

@musicsax Thank you for taking over the helm for @quiltingjaine … and thank you quilting Jane for your years of dedication! You deserve a break!
@itladyee LOVE LOVE LOVE your new patio! That’s where future memories will be made!
What scale did I get? I purchased an updated version of my Renpho. I read many reviews and learned that it basically has a shelf-life of about five years … Ours lasted seven. I also learned from hubby that he knocked it pretty hard before he left for Colorado… I’ve been happy with it… No problems… And I like the App. I looked at other scales, but decided to stick with what I know.

302 should start with 7-10 🤓@Chapter_3 - I have that same scale. Love it!

🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 301 (my 231st). 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.
I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life."Health is wealth".6/29 DNW - 9.23 miles walked yesterday, it was supposed to be a rest day before DH ran the 25k run around Sheffield today! We walked to a local town for their Open Garden event & managed to get around 28 of the 30 gardens, but Wirksworth is built on a hill, so as well as the distance there were lots of stairs and hill walking between the gardens!!
EW Rnd 300 139.6
SW End 301 139.6
6/30 DNW - 8.67 miles walked. DH did finish his 25k run, but really suffered over the last stretch, Sheffield is surrounded by 7 hills & the trail run was up and down these hills around the city, he could barely walk when he finished; the course is brutal! And it was hot! My miles were clocked up walking from the start across the city to meet him halfway with jelly babies & water and then back to see him finish, oh & did mention our DD did it too? So proud of them both. DH is suffering this morning.
7/1 DNW - a very gentle 8.85 miles walked yesterday all on the flat as a recovery for DH, he's more or less fully recovered today. Moving up to Harrogate today for the second part of our holiday.7/2 DNW - 6.15 miles walked yesterday, more purposefully now DH is recovered. And what a change to the weather! Monday 30 degrees C, this morning 18, only 91 miles further north, that's British weather for you!!! 😁
7/3 DNW - 6.04 miles walked. Day started rainy, so we went to do the food shopping for the rest of the week & then drove an hour to Keighley to a NT property & bonus, it was lovely and sunny there👏.
7/4 DNW - 10.06 miles - happy 4th July everyone 🎉.
7/5 DNW - 10.23 miles walked to Harrogate from the camp site, around the city & back, beautiful old buildings.
7/6 DNW - 10.03 miles walked, a wonderful last day in Knaresborough before we travel home today.
7/7 142.4 – whoops ! That’ll be the 3 Yorkshire cream teas we had over the 10 days holiday plus the extra alcohol – a glass of wine each evening instead of just weekends. Back to it today. No structured walking, due to travelling back home, restocking food supplies from the supermarket & tidying up our garden neglected for 10 days whilst we were away: it looks lovely this morning after it's attention and the long awaited rain that we had overnight, the first for several weeks.

I did have a great workout yesterday morning. But instead of working I opted to spend the day with DH. After a weekend of company and many more weekends of company in our future, we needed time for just us.
I also acted like a human garbage disposal eating and drinking all of the odds and ends in the house. I know better.
5am morning me was on vacation for the last two weeks but she’s back. My attitude is in it to win it!

I truly wish I could sleep at least one more hour /90 more minutes… simply must figure out this sleep thing. Pleased I participated in the #3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣mini challenge and completed it… I learned more about my thought patterns. A Successful “Celebrate with action” ten whole days. Looking forward to this round - with better sleep . (Manifest!) ONWARD!
7/1 peculiar day. I knew I was overly tired. Went back to bed at 11AM and slept for 2 1/2 hours! Foggy the rest of the day, but I feel great today! 🎾+🚶♀️💓⏱️🏋️♀️
7/2 130.0?! I actually stood on the scale five times and it said 129.8 and finally the sixth time it said 130.0 which I sincerely don’t believe any of that… The unexpected ⬇️ is just as unwelcomed as the unexpected ⬆️? Did a good night sleep for two days FINALLY allow my body rest and relax to let go and do its thing?!? Is this a real whoosh or just a tease? I’ll keep it up though. I had to push myself to register 10k steps and 300 jumps yesterday because after two hours of 🎾 I just did not want to… Felt accomplished after… Did not 🏋️♀️yesterday. Will do today. ONWARD!
My dream: to simply not ever care on any one given day what the scale reads … To not let it impact my day one iota. To know in my soul “I’m good”. 😊
7/3 130.4. We ate late last night. Only 90 g 🥩. No 🏆The 130.x seems real- a “win” by keeping consistent. And…. Water intake has been 💯& I’m sleeping better so hypothesizing that my body is releasing cortisol - not holding on to stress and finally headed toward enjoying a balance of mind/body/soul. Sleeping well supports good decision making. Pushing towards 70 min of Z2💓 and 300 jumps each day has many psychological benefits for me… Simply pushing myself a little more builds self- discipline & confidence. Only did 10min of 🏋️♀️yesterday will do more today. Why do I push back on that? I am AVOIDING the most important activity!! However, I had an awesome “mobility“ training set that I truly enjoyed. Slow walk this morning in prep for the 🇺🇸4 on the 4th tomorrow. (The humidity is so, so bad right now🥵) … Our goal will be around 60 minutes… I’m not sure if Tucker can make it so we’ll walk jog walk jog…. My hubby is leaving for one week today. (One of his brothers recently lost his wife and so the brothers are getting together in Colorado to camp/hike & bike…(ages 72, 70, 67 & 62) I’m VERY fortunate to be married to a man who prioritizes his health. I will miss him big time! But also an extended opportunity to focus on me!! 💪🏻
7/4 & 7/5 A CRAZY thing happened on the way to the scale⚖️@ 5 :30AM 7/4 before our race yesterday … I literally, not figuratively, freaked out because I read 137 lbs… 🫣😬😳Then, I weighed again - the scale went DARK… Then I changed the batteries and nothing happened so I ordered a new scale to be delivered late today (hopefully) or Sunday. SO there I was running around the house, finding batteries, replacing batteries, totally focused on the darn scale when it really shouldn’t have mattered a hill of beans while getting ready for the race… It’s scary to confess the range of emotions that flooded over me yesterday- straight-talk telling me that I am overly obsessed and re-confirms why I have these major self-image issues. I mean, get a grip Carolyn! Why can’t I simply trust my efforts and not rely on the scale? I’m also sincerely concerned that the scale has not been accurate for some time (LOW?)… I actually believed I was trusting the process? What does the number REALLY mean? I mean, it is what it is… right? Why was I overly dependent on the scale in that moment? I managed to settle down after a few long minutes, but the panic was real. A really, REALLY sad unintended discovery. Couldn’t sleep last night but am determined to have a peace-filled day & go with the flow. Sheesh.
7/6 I was in my head all day yesterday - agonizing. Many unsuccessful efforts to reset my attitude. Finally, around 5:30PM, I said JUST GO DO IT … 70 minute 💓Z2 completed 🚶♀️10k steps & 300 jumps… and a solid nutrition day over on Pg which isn’t a bad thing… At 1350 cals,🏋️♀️25min (early in day). I felt like a petulant child… kicking & screaming inside my head most of the day. As agonizing as the day was, I finished it off strong. Scale to arrive this evening?
Much, much better attitude this morning after a good night sleep… Sleep is King!
NSV: strong daily habit of tracking key measures and food… it’s now engrained. I think that’s why the scale fiasco had me rattled - if I’m up 5 lbs (without a clue - “clothing fit” is same) I will reevaluate. I realize it’s not the “5 lbs” per se… It’s everything (goals) which might be off? But it is what it is - I’ll tweak & adjust. ONWARD!
7/7 ✅ another day of lacklusterly / grudgingly going through the check off box… “they” say self-discipline is more important than motivation so that’s where I’m at… I got it all done yesterday… ✅
⚖️ came at 8PM last night - will set it up today. Walk early & plan a “clean” week. I jumped on the “cottage cheese” train and Im puffy & bloated. Its helped with protein goals but my body doesn’t like it! Retaining fluids/ TMI. 5AM Carolyn is starting to appear!
NSV: Avg steps @ 9.7k for 4weeks. A handful of days under 3k so that hurt… Moving forward, I’ll push for 10k steps but make sure off days are a minimum of 6k. ONWARD!

Happy to be starting a new ten days. These will be my last ten days before my birthday, when I will be firmly ensconced in the upper 60’s. (yes I know, I am already in my upper 60’s)This round will have Independence Day along with traditional get-togethers. DD and her boyfriend will join us for a couple days so our whole family will be together for some parade, cookout and fireworks. My grands LOVE their aunt and “uncle” from out of town.
Without the goals above yesterday, my calories would be in a galaxy far far away, and I would have just stayed inside without getting a nice long walk done.
7/1: 223.0
✏️🎯💓
I could get into this downward trend.Another hot day yesterday. Spent most of it with DGS. Some of that was reading at the public pool along with DW while he frolicked around making new friends and using the water slides.
Another walk before dark saved the day. I LOVE the long days of summer. I capped the day with a game of Gin Rummy with DW where she came from WAY behind to beat me. We just score wins and not all the other fluff that true Gin players do. I am ahead for 2025, 12 games to 11.
7/2: 223.4
✏️🎯💓
Started up a small group bible study yesterday. It will go for 6 weeks with a couple week break in the middle. Good friends. Of course I brought Dunkin Munchkins and ate about 8 of them myself. I didn’t know they were 55-60 calories a pop, and I forgot to log them until this morning. I wondered how my CI could be so low yet I add almost half a pound. Mis-logging, that’s how. Thankfully I was still on target.One of my problems is mis-logging. Either I totally forget something, or I tell myself a little white-lie about the probable calorie count or quantity, or I just don’t know the actual quantity. (I don’t want a food scale on the counter) It might be helpful to log as I go without saving the reckoning until the end of the day.
7/3: 223.0
✏️💓
Missed the target by a bunch. Total weakness yet the scale did not tattle on me. Probably a penalty tomorrow. I should control myself today since Friday will be a food fest.I will have something removed by my dermatologist today. Not enough to show up on the scale tomorrow. HA!
7/4: 222.6
✏️🎯💓
Lots of self-control yesterday. Excellent exercise (18 mile bike ride plus lawn mowing) and good food choices.Feeling like I am on a roll, but today is a big food fest day. Happy Birthday USA! 250 Years. I am so old I remember the Bicentennial Celebration. (I don’t remember the signing of the Declaration of Independence.) I will be cooking part of the meal today. Brats and chicken on the grill and baked beans on the smoker.
DD got here last night after midnight. (I slept through it) Looking forward to hugging her when she wakes up.
7/5: DNW
Yesterday was a washout, the magnitude of which I will never know. Why? I didn’t log therefore target not visible. And I did not exercise. AND, when I stepped on the scale this morning … nothing. Dead battery I suppose. NSV: I had the courage to step on the scale after a day with three big meals.Leftovers loom in the fridge.
I had a wonderful time with family which was not a washout. DW made my traditional Birthday Blueberry Pie. She has been doing this for decades.
7/5 Part B
✏️
OK I went back and at least logged what I ate yesterday.7/6: 226.4
✏️💓
I don’t have a replacement battery for the scale in the house. In the meantime, I did one of my favorite tricks. Take the old battery out, clean it and put it back in. Good for a few uses more. It kind of makes that sound when you drink the last bit of milkshake with a straw.I ghastly jump up, but not unexpected with the holiday food we had. Smoked Baked beans, potato salad and pie galore. And, you should have seen the way “they” forced me to eat it. I was a true victim.
Some should drop off with a little sensible eating today and waiting.
7/7: 225.8
✏️💓
At least the reading was lower. Third day in a row with Target not hit. Still grinding through leftovers and they are very high carb and low protein.Reading was down but the trend is up.

My weight has been going the wrong direction since about the beginning of May. It's time to refocus.
6/30: 146.2. Yesterday, I did about an hour walk on the treadmill and a 30 minute walk outside in the evening. I started the day tracking food, but didn't keep at it all day. Today's goal is to track everything, do a treadmill run, and a walk outside.
7/1: 146.2. Tracked all food yesterday and went for a walk outside. I did not get to the gym to run though. Same goals for today: track, walk and run.
7/2: 144.4. Goodbye to some excess water weight (finally). Yesterday was a good day, as far as eating. I logged everything and was under my goal. I went for a walk, but wasn't able to get to the gym to run since my husband worked late and I had to stay home with our kids. I'm really hoping I can go tonight.
7/3: 145.3. I had pasta for dinner last night. Pasta always makes me hold onto some water weight. I stayed in calorie goal. I ran 4 miles on the treadmill (finally got to the gym!) and went for 2 walks.
7/4: 145.0. I met my goals yesterday: food was within calorie goal, I went for a walk and a 3 mile treadmill run. I don't think we have any plans for the 4th that will derail me today, so I'm aiming for another good day today.
7/5: 145.6. No explanation for the gain, guess it's just the normal fluctuations. Food was on track. Long walk but no run.
7/6: 143.7. A nice little drop. I've been working hard and staying on track so it's nice to see that reflected on the scale. Hoping it sticks around. Food was within calories, went on a shorter walk and did a 6 mile treadmill run.
7/7: 144.7. I knew the huge drop yesterday wouldn't stick around. But my trend weight is still moving down, so I'm happy with where I am for now. Food was good yesterday, did a walk and a 4 mile run.

7/9:7/7: Still on track. Went to DGS#1's (baseball) game yesterday; sat in HOT HOT HOT sun on metal bleachers with a big umbrella over our heads; he rewarded us with a wonderful late lunch/dinner. I chose well, but splurged with a glass (well, 2) of wine. Talked to DB in CT- he's home! A little disoriented, but sounded positive; many MD visits for him this week; oncologist, nutritionist, cardiologist. Getting old is not for the faint of heart…

7/4: 81.9 - oh boy really! I mean I did only fly in yesterday and I did have very puffy feet on the flight (I think I need to invest in compression socks) so I'm expecting some of that to be fluid retention and go in the next couple of days. Even so, not quite the result I wanted, but I shouldn't be surprised, I ate too much sugar, and too little vegetables while away. However, back home now and back eating normally and hopefully we'll get that number back down
7/5: 81.1 - better. Ended up eating a 2nd dinner as I was starving which meant I worked out about even for the day. I blame the jet lag making me think it was dinner time
7/6: 81.0 - eeeeehhh, I went to my parents for a BBQ and didn't overeat, but then dessert came and my mum made scones and I love scones and so jam and butter and yuuuuum. I don't think I massively over ate, but I don't think I was in deficit for the day.
7/7: 82.1 - Haha, well I should expect that, I'm back to work today so back into the normal routine and back wearing clothes to weigh in. This is only 1.5-2kg up from pre holiday (and less than 1kg on trend), so honestly I don't think that's too bad considering that I really wasn't watching what I was eating while I was away. I'm hoping that I'll be able to get back to where I was at round 299 by the end of next round but we'll see. I won't be beating myself out if it doesn't work out. I'm just going to keep logging and keep going.

7/1 been being successful at getting my water in, but just barely Continuing to build on keeping my sugars low from last round too!
7/7 unfortunately I haven’t been posting here…got distracted with too many other things with the holiday. I can see posting here helps me stay intentional and on track with my short term goals. I also enjoy reading your own journeys and am so grateful I found y’all!! This being said I missed one day of my water goal but have been able to stay on track otherwise. I’m not coming into this new week prepared however and need to take some time to figure that out before I’m totally off focus and regress. See you here tomorrow!!!
