    Female 5’1” Age 75 years 

    *Travel - no scale part of the time

    HWE 197.0 (2/2008)

    Weight on 1/17/17 174.5

    OGW 137 (set by WW 2008, WW goal 1985 was 126) UGW was 125 (HS weight) Started LCHF/Keto 7/17/2017 (mid round 10)

    👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE👍👍

      ****

    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. 

    7/7   132.0 Yesterday was a good day, today I’m making bread after water fitness.

    Measurable Daily Goals
    🚶🏽- Closing my rings M-S Move = 700/Exercise = 45/Stand = 12)
    🍎- Tracking/Under Calorie Budget (~ 1650 ~)
    ✅ - Macros - Protein (75g - 100g) Carbs < 75g * Ignoring macros this round, focusing on calories
    🏋️‍♂️ - ST - Twice per week
    💧- Water - 50 oz minimum
    🚫 - No Wine
    ⬇️- Downward trend
    🚶🏽🍎✅💧🚫⬇️
    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
    7/6 230.6 ~ 🚶🏽🍎✅💧⬇️ 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.
    7/7 230.6 ~ Fixing my dates above :) - I need a couple of strict days to end this round!! Yes!!
    7/8
    7/9

    Thank you, re the patio! @Chapter_3 yes…memories…for sure. @SModa61 @musicsax , yes, it came out very well. This is as "creative" as I get! @judefit1 I don't want to rush it but I can't wait to do a fire. Actually I told my husband we should get a mini solo stove to use now (for light and bug repellent). It's super small (about the size of a container of disinfecting wipes and it takes wood chips!

    @RossC2025 ~ nice job and you still have a few more days to go!!

    To climb steep hills requires a slow pace at first.

    💜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.

    🎷 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.

    image.png

    7/8 143.6 – don’t ask!! Got to catch this before it goes crazy! 6.85 miles walked.

    7/9

    👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!! 👍👍.

    @CamandJarvis Take care of yourself girl. I know in this moment your community comes first but drink your water, fuel your body and get what rest you can. It’s going to be a long road.

    @itladyee Absolutely love the patio! Perfect place to get all of your feel good vitamin D during the day and watch fireflies from in the evening.

    Based on yesterday's caloric intake, I expected to break-even, or maybe gain a very small amount. Need to buckle down for the last day of this challenge.

    @Skyleen75 : I know that feeling too well- avoiding the scale pretending it'll all be just fine, but knowing how my body feels when I move; I've been doing it this whole year. But you're tough, resilient, and you caught yourself- you took the biggest step!

    6/30 Had to weigh even tho up @ 3 :30. No TMI x3 days…  terrific day yesterday! But, I am tired this morning. Dragging. 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!

    7/8 133.4 🤔 🚫70 min 💓Z2 only 60 min (I hit a wall but was still satisfied). I need to finish strong with 🏋️‍♀️two more & will end a satisfying round. Still flustered regarding weight /scale but so proud of my consistent movement & mobility strengthening past two rounds. I’m only wondering how long has the scale been off? These past 20 days have been spot on with workouts and calories. The only thing I can think of is that I’ve been eating a lot more dairy than usual… And studies have shown it’s not only calories it’s what kind of calories… Dairy and I have a very bad relationship. Other than that, the kitchen has been a W!  As much as I love the cottage cheese to add protein, my body simply cannot process it. (I re-learned something I already knew! Stick to what you know, silly!) I can FEEL the rejection of too much dairy. I’m hoping I’ll be back to normal in a couple of days. Yes, I am deflated re: ⚖️, but I am still determined to adjust & continue. 💪🏻 We now have a trustworthy scale so I am good to refresh & continue! I’m grateful & present.

    @musicsax Should I ask what cream tea might be?

    @Skyleen75 @judefit1 One of the things I have learned over time is that it is easy to show up when things are going well, but it is so much important to show up when one is struggling and one is inclined to avoid. My history unfortunately reflects tendency, and it is something I personally struggle with. You both handle this well! Bravo!

    @RossC2025 I know that many here use some sort of scale averaging calculator. You might like being able to see your overall trend through your data.

    @_JeffreyD_ Leftovers are always more challenging for me that any party or meal. For one, there is no longer any audience. Two, we must "make them gone before they go bad". The struggle is real.

    @judefit1 Dining out is something I have reasonably handled. I make sure that I don't deprive, in the sense that I LOVE what I order. But with that, what I do is I tend to avoid ordering from the "entree" section. I don't need the added calories from the "sides", which most of the time are just fillers (at certain restaurants that is not the case and they are special). Most of the time, I get two appetizers, or a great salad and an appetizer. I will NOT waste calories on a boring basic salad EVER. When DH and I went out two weeks ago, I got a salad (yes, it was less special, and I brought in my own dressing) and an appetizer of seared deep sea scallops over a bed of sautéed shaved brussel sprouts and bacon. It was glorious, but overall calories were reasonable. Anyhow, that is my trick for most dining out occasions.

    @Chapter_3 as for scale. sorry for the troubles. I am lucky that I happen to own my travel scale as well, and if I ever have issues with my "normal" scale, I have it as backup. I have proved in the past that they are within .2 lb of each other.

    7/1-137-Played pickleball last night. Was supposed to take the new kitty in to get spayed yesterday and she was nowhere to be found. Got my credit card charged anyway and then she showed up later.😬 Made another appointment for tomorrow and she is gone again…..I’ve got ALL day to find her and kindly lock her up so I can get my money’s worth tomorrow morning.🤞

    7/2-139-Found the cat! She will go in this morning for her body work. 
    Weight is up just a bit; DH brought home fresh corn. One ear with plenty of butter, salt and pepper, along with an avocado did that.

    7/5-137-Was a nice cooler (not over 90) day; played pickle ball in the morning then did yard work all day. Today should another pleasant one.
