🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 303 (my 233rd).

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! I aim to lose a pound this round. 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".

7/19 141.6 – 8.86 miles walked (again!) Failed to achieve goal of 141, but nevertheless, a loss of 2.6 pounds from the inflated number at the end of the last round. After I posted yesterday, I remembered that we had a dinner date with BIL & his partner at a local Indian restaurant, it was too late to edit my post. I was pleased that I ate very lightly all day & then chose very sensibly, walked to & from the restaurant and left half my boiled rice. I came away feeling satisfied, but not stuffed or uncomfortable, an NSV for me. I also feel that helped me to maintain yesterday’s number.

EW Rnd 302 141.6

SW Rnd 303 141.6

7/20 141.6 (trend 141.9) 8.31 miles walked. Goal for this round is 140.

7/21 141.6 (trend 141.8) no structured walking, heavy rain all day. We spent the day with grown up DD, DS & all our little DGC.

A little bit about me: I'm 33 years old, female, 160cm (5ft 2.5in) tall. I have a 2yo son who is so full of energy and keeps me eternally busy! I generally keep fit doing judo and walking my very mad spaniel. I have Crohn's disease and am pretty sure I'm currently flaring which mean I'm struggling with fatigue and nausea. I weigh wearing clothes so my actual weight fluctuates a lot, but I'm more concerned about trend.

SW: 81.2kg (May 27th) GW: 70kg UGW: 62kg
Previous Rounds (TW):
299: SW: 80.4kg EW: 80.4kg (+/-0kg)
300: SW: 80.4kg EW: 80.8kg (+0.4kg) (Travelling so estimated)
301: SW: 80.8kg EW: 81.3kg (+0.5kg) (Travelling so some is estimated)
302: SW: 81.3kg EW: 80.9kg (-0.4kg)
303: SW: 80.9kg EW: XXXkg (+/-Xkg)

Fell off the update wagon at the end of last round (I did keep daily weighing though), really struggling with my energy levels and definitely overdid it last week with a very stressful & busy week.

7/20 - 81.0
7/21 - 81.1 - Uuuuuuugh. Yesterday was not good. I felt rough (still not feeling great today), I just ran out of spoons around lunchtime and just struggled through the rest of the day. Ended up with a takeaway for dinner and then just ate an entire chocolate egg left over from Easter just because it was there and I was feeling sad and tired. It wasn't even that good tbh. I'm still feeling pretty rubbish today. I don't think I have that many spoons to play with today either.

Hello I'm Darlene, retired, 64-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I started my journey in January 2023, and over the last two years have lost about 90 pounds, give or take a couple. I got to my goal weight in the last quarter of 2024, and now tackling the maintenance phase.

My Stats

Highest Weight 228
Goal Weight: 140 - The top of the Ideal weight category, doctor says that's good enough, but honestly I like to be a few pounds under for a buffer.

Nice swish from the prior few salty days. I leave for vacation next Monday, hoping to get down a little by then to have a buffer. I had also gotten away from my eight hour eating window, starting that again as well. Big step day yesterday, took my typical 3 mile walk in the morning, then another 2.25 on the treadmill (I was watching a show) and did a cardio workout instead of boxing (boxing has no little steps). I'm working on reaching 2,025 miles in 2025 (all steps count), and yesterday's activity put me over the 1,700 mile marker, my tracker says I'm on target to finish by the end of August! 😁

7/20 133.6 I remember writing several months ago that 132 is a danger zone. I allowed myself to surpass only because of the “scale” fiasco two rounds ago and now I am accepting that this is the weight I must accept as REAL and move on from here. Don’t know how long it will take to get to 128.x but that’s what I want. But most of all, I want my BF% to decline. Tomorrow, I will take measurements after researching what I can do from home (I don’t trust the RENFRO measurement to be accurate) and then, when I get to 131.x I’ll do another InBody (DXA) scan. Thus, my journey to reduce fat, that has been seriously neglected for the past year, will commence again. I will continue to focus on functional ST and traditional ST, mobility and flexibility in my morning time before I “start” my day — the 300 jumps are a good challenge for me - and will build in “skipping” in my structured walk as well as box jumps. It’s so easy to forget my WHY each day - my attention span and commitment to my health goals (#agingyounger) for my grandchildren seems to be forgotten often… this must be in the forefront of my mind each day to remain committed. It’s back to placing reminders all around my house because my habits are simply not engrained YET.

I jotted some notes that others may benefit from - this is a long post. However, moving forward this round I’ll keep it brief (unless of course I have an epiphany. While I recorded my nutrition goals for this round, I may do a 72 hour fast beginning either Monday or Tuesday at 6PM. This is to reset my system - no for weight-loss. I know that a 72-hr fast takes preparation time so I may need to push back to Wed. I know when I’ll be ready.

Good luck to all this round!

7/21 ⚖️ 132.4

Yesterday was lovely. Completed a 3.5mi hilly trail @Bogue Chitto State Park - a little over an hour and a change of pace / scenery. There were few hikers @7:30AM on a Sunday, but those that were inspired me… taking care of health surrounded by nature. After watching the final round of “The Open” when we returned, completed 👣 🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️ ⏱️ before dinner. Upping from 👣 10k to 👣 12k daily is a conscience noticeable increase for me - for an otherwise uneventful day. Decided to go for ZERO carbs yesterday, and will follow that challenge while deciding if I’ll begin a fast tonight @6PM or Tuesday night.

Nutrition: Had to fight the hunger pains after 6PM. Did not give in. Hot tea and self-discipline to the rescue.

NSV: Self-imposed boundaries! Tonight is another City Planning & Zoning meeting. Our challenge against the Hospital is still in progress - and will be for the foreseeable future. What is different? I’m not losing sleep over it and my perspective has changed (not easy!) to allow me to prioritize mind+body+soul.

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 303
July 20 - 29, 2025

63 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress loss if2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6

GW Maintaining between 124 – 126 SW: 127.6 Since my weight is slowing coming back down, I’ve added back in history details INCLUDING my maintenance numbers. In January, it seemed silly including my goal was to maintain 124 – 126 when I was weighing 138. Those maintenance numbers are in sight now. Just need to get there.

SW: 129.6

7/20 – 130.0 What am I doing? Three days in a row. Today is the bridal shower. Fortunately today’s dress is a little forgiving. Thursday I head to the seamstress for MOG dress alterations. Gotta stop this!

7/21 – 127.4 Too good to be true, and does not make sense. I weighed more than once, and it came up the same. If I were in Mass I would get out my travel scale to verify. Just going to have to roll with it and see if it makes sense tomorrow as well.

Yesterday was a long day. Four and a half hours of driving. Shower was fine, and easy to not eat. Today, DH and I are going to drive up to Booth Bay Harbor for some re-con work. In two weeks, DD and fam are visiting and the DH, DSIL and DGS#1 are going to “boat camp” up in BBH while DD, DGS#2 and I hang out at the beach with her two and our two cats (condo is a 2 bedroom ;P )

I will be working all round to get that number down. I can do it.

I have to skip my morning workout because I’m working on a property that’s an hour away. I’m feeling resentful about it this morning.

I am going to be trimming down my client list after this season.

36 years old. 5'3. SAHM to twin 3 year olds.

I've just been bouncing around 143-146ish without making any real progress for far too long and I'm getting frustrated with myself. It is time to get serious and lose a few pounds for good.

Mini goal: 140
Ultimate goal: 130

CamandJarvis · July 21

~~7/21~~ - 169.1 - Ouch. Awful eating Friday-Sunday and very dehydrated. Despite being out and about Sunday, I did manage to get meals prepped for this week. I'm focusing on pushing water today to help get hydrated since I'm feeling the effects of it quite horribly. The great news is that the Sheriff's Department here announced the missing persons list from the flood has officially been reduced to 3. Still horrible, but much improved from 160+ just a handful of days ago. We did SAR this weekend before they announced this development (hence the horrible eating and dehydration) but as of last night, our obligation as a VFD has ended and we no longer have to send a team. I know there are SAR teams out there still looking for those last 3 which makes my heart a little less heavy about it all. Hopefully we can all begin to move forward and piece our families, friends, and community back together in memory of all those lost.

@deepwoodslady

Congratulations on both the weight loss and beating cancer! How many years has it been for you? I still don't feel like a survivor…every twinge or bump has me scared.

My doctors haven't pushed the weight so much as activity with me. Of course, the two are linked. I really want to get below 200. I'll still be far to a "healthy" weight, but at least I won't be considered obese anymore.

deepwoodslady · July 21

@cleanslate111 I was diagnosed and treatments started in summer 2009. My final Chemo (a very long road for me) was in summer 2011. Then it was the radiation treatments. I also had to have a complete hysterectomy afterward because of a scare. I did not opt for reconstruction after the partial mastectomy due to having 3 kids still in school (one of them high on the autism scale), busy schedule, and very sick hubby at the time who had dialysis every other day several hours from our home. He had to be driven. He has since passed away but we went through that schedule for almost 5 years. I also had my own business at the time which I now had to run on my own due to hubby's inability to help. It was all so grueling. God has given me lots of life since then. I've seen 4 more grandchildren (out of 6) born to the 3 of my children who are healthy. Reconstruction is a lifelong option. I've often thought about it, but at my age I've never been sure about it. I already have so many other health issues. But I've never ruled it out completely. Keep a positive mindset, continue working on the weight because it DOES matter with breast cancer. You can do this. Slow is fine. Your body has been through a lot. Give it grace and love but don't give up on the very best health you can achieve. I'm in your corner!

deepwoodslady · July 21

@CamandJarvis Only 3 left missing. I'm sure they will be found. Thank you for bringing home those who did not make. I'm sure it means everything to their families. Enough has been lost. I hope you will be blessed for all you have done and for all you do. #exceptionalperson.

@quiltingjaine Wow on the 40 pounds lost due to fluid retention to that person you have mentioned! I know you are right. I should take pill daily. It's just so hard. You know how I live in such a very very rural area of mostly Amish community. It is more than 10 minutes from place to place around the county. From Grocery store to Post Office. From little family owned Pharmacy to Dollar Store (yes, there really is a Dollar General EVERYWHERE!) I guess my point is that I pee literally every 10 minutes on the pill and cannot even GET TO a bathroom. It's not about being inconvenienced. You do get used to the frequent bathroom trips. And I have to take it too late in the afternoon or evening because then I am up all night. I will definitely try to figure out a better schedule and take advantage of the opportunity every chance I get. I hate the tightness and even the pain that the retention can cause. And I hate the way it messes with my numbers and often leaves me clueless about where I really am in my journey. I'll try harder….I promise. Thanks for caring, always.

Day/Weight/Comment

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 187.8

07/20-187.8 💠 (Trend Weight: 190.4) I had an excellent day yesterday with low calories and all my carb and macro goals being met. I also did 30 continual minutes of intentional exercise. I was really hoping to see my weight go down a touch, even just a dribble but I guess it wasn’t in the stars. However, my trend weight did go down again so I consider that as faith in me. Have a great round everyone. I look forward to your posts and your goal progress each and every day!

💥💥💥07/21 – 186.8 ✅ (Trend Weight – 190.1) Yesterday was filled with bad choices. Truly, the food could have and should have been much healthier. I actually had an Oreo Flurry for dinner instead of food. Went to bed a bit hungry and unsatisfied, especially since I stay up so late. Another pound down which I assume is the pound I was looking for yesterday (and didn’t get) after such a great day. These delays can be mystifying. Tomorrow my DGS that comes every weekend (age 7) is having his tonsils out downstate. There will be several hours each way to get him there and lots of sitting at the hospital. Food will be away from home in local restaurant(s) so I don’t expect the weigh in day after tomorrow to be good. I’ll try to get some pacing steps in at the hospital. My post tomorrow will probably be pretty late. In the meantime, I leave you with this…..Remember, you are special, you are important and you matter!

7/20 We celebrated my son's birthday with his high school friends and I had to get everything ready. We had fun but did have a bite of bday cookie. I had a good dinner but ate fries.

7/21 Today was I was feeling a little down. Coming off vacation and party planning I needed a day of nothing. I have some health issues and some tests are coming up so I took the time for scheduling of that and relaxing. I had bible study tonight. I did not exercise today. I have an early morning tomorrow for a health test and a dr appt. After that hope to get in gym time.

Hope I am doing this right. First time here.

🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 303 (my 233rd).

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! I aim to lose a pound this round. Good luck for success everyone.

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 135. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

Updated 20.08.24 – I met up with youngest DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info 😞. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available.This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to overindulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 67 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so I must not jeopardize that luck.

I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life."Health is wealth".

7/19 141.6 – 8.86 miles walked (again!) Failed to achieve goal of 141, but nevertheless, a loss of 2.6 pounds from the inflated number at the end of the last round. After I posted yesterday, I remembered that we had a dinner date with BIL & his partner at a local Indian restaurant, it was too late to edit my post. I was pleased that I ate very lightly all day & then chose very sensibly, walked to & from the restaurant and left half my boiled rice. I came away feeling satisfied, but not stuffed or uncomfortable, an NSV for me. I also feel that helped me to maintain yesterday’s number.

EW Rnd 302 141.6

SW Rnd 303 141.6

7/20 141.6 (trend 141.9) 8.31 miles walked. Goal for this round is 140.

A little bit about me: I'm 33 years old, female, 160cm (5ft 2.5in) tall. I have a 2yo son who is so full of energy and keeps me eternally busy! I generally keep fit doing judo and walking my very mad spaniel. I have Crohn's disease and am pretty sure I'm currently flaring which mean I'm struggling with fatigue and nausea. I weigh wearing clothes so my actual weight fluctuates a lot, but I'm more concerned about trend.

SW: 81.2kg (May 27th) GW: 70kg UGW: 62kg
Previous Rounds (TW):
299: SW: 80.4kg EW: 80.4kg (+/-0kg)
300: SW: 80.4kg EW: 80.8kg (+0.4kg) (Travelling so estimated)
301: SW: 80.8kg EW: 81.3kg (+0.5kg) (Travelling so some is estimated)
302: SW: 81.3kg EW: 80.9kg (-0.4kg)
303: SW: 80.9kg EW: XXXkg (+/-Xkg)

Fell off the update wagon at the end of last round (I did keep daily weighing though), really struggling with my energy levels and definitely overdid it last week with a very stressful & busy week.

7/20 - 81.0
7/21 - 81.1 - Uuuuuuugh. Yesterday was not good. I felt rough (still not feeling great today), I just ran out of spoons around lunchtime and just struggled through the rest of the day. Ended up with a takeaway for dinner and then just ate an entire chocolate egg left over from Easter just because it was there and I was feeling sad and tired. It wasn't even that good tbh. I'm still feeling pretty rubbish today. I don't think I have that many spoons to play with today either.
7/22 - DNW - Oooops, as I walked into the office this morning I realised that I did not step on the scales. Was sure it would have been high though as I finally made it to a Judo session last night! It's the first time in ages I've been training and not coaching, exciting! I mean my fatigue was hitting me hard and I almost didn't go, but I got there and told myself that I'd just get on the mat and see how the session went. Aaaand my knee wasn't great as there was lots of twisty motions in the session, but I was sensible and didn't do anything that made me worried. Nausea hit about half way through the session (I thought I had got past going to Judo and feeling sick sigh) but I still made it and I still moved my body in fun ways. Did get a chance to test out my shoulder too, still weak, but I don't think it's stopping me from doing my movements anymore so going forward I think I can count it as only having one injury (and one chronic illness) to worry about. Eating was fine for the day.
