Hi. I’m an unretired (by choice) senior from central B.C., Canada. Back for another round. Am an absolute turtle at losing and a hare at backsliding! This round my hope it to hang on to each loss then move down from there. Put an end to this eternal yo-yoing.

🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜Ultimate Goal: 145-155 (I’ll know Exactly when I get there!)
Thoughts at the start of this round:
This round will be challenging as it includes the U.S. holidays of Labor Day, Halloween and Thanksgiving. All are big foodie or party and dessert type holidays in the U.S. There are also multiple birthday celebrations in my family. In addition, there will be a lot of travel which is traditional in the fall for me as I try to avoid as many icy driving trips as possible in the winter months. There will be lots of doctor appointments away from home as well as Christmas and gift-giving shopping in this round. I will have to make sure I stay on top of my plan in every moment I can and to make the necessary corrections every time the scale goes up. We can’t control the ingredients in restaurant food so portion control will be key when away from home. I will again aim for a 10 pound loss this round. Thanks for sharing your journey with me and allowing me to share mine. I am grateful for you all.

Day 21—09/12—183.4 ✅ (Trend Weight: 184.9) 4.6 lb loss overnight although this was a later weigh-in than usual as I lay back down on Friday mornings after DGS school bus. This 4.6 lb loss explains why I will often not weigh directly after travel (food and sitting). The inflated weight is often just fluid my heart can’t pump through and I can’t take my water pill for that while on the road. The drastically lower weight after pill just puts me back where I’m really at, no fat loss. Both numbers are fantastical so I usually just avoid the scale until I’m home and can take my prescription. I often get people from all my different challenges say I should “weigh anyway” , “see what foods affect me”, etc. etc. etc. I even get private messages about it from well-meaning friends. While this may be good and true info for some, it is just not the same for me or others like me. I don’t need to know I’m bloated or affected by salt or sitting. I already know my body can’t pump it out without help. Anyway, just thought I would vent and share how frustrating this can be, this drastic gain & loss, as it does impede my information I could be gleaning. I did have an excellent day yesterday in spite of DD and DGS arriving. Very low calorie, moderate carbs and extra time on the exercise bike as I finished out watching a show while on it. All good. Now, to get back to 181.8 or lower!

CURRENT WEEK:
🐝🐝🐝🐝 Day 22—09/13—184.0 ❌ (Trend Weight:184.8) I hated putting that ❌ there today when yesterday was such a perfect day. Macros were fabulous. Calories & carbs excellent. TMI in order. Very good exercise. The only thing out of line was sleep last night. Just 3.3 hours. I can only guess that after such a late weigh-in yesterday and a huge water shedding after my diuretic, I may have been slightly dehydrated yesterday. I guess this number is where I stand and start my day today and which is most likely accurate. Today I travel about 100 miles to take my DD shopping and DGS to bowl a few games. Lunch will be out, her pick. I guess there may be another squiggly line on my graph tomorrow. We’ll see.

H had a bit too much red and yellow last week, so I've got a bit of a plateau going on. Let's see how I do with my vacation week next week. I'm sure challenges will abound, including some air travel.
Here's a screenshot of my VO2Max progress. I can feel the change when I'm walking up a hill. It is much easier to move briskly going uphill now. I credit this change to doing 1-2 hard workouts each week. Zwift sprints and climbs help, I'm pretty sure of it. I also see changes when I do a very hard strength workout.
Any workout that makes me hate my life for a few intervals qualifies as a "VO2Max-improving-workout"😄 in my book.
Here's the "training load" feature from my watch. It shows the change in my activity level.
I'm going to work on maintaining this level since I'm still seeing improvements overall.

Good Afternoon! And good luck to all this week…I especially need it. 😁
@Jon4189 , I was fortunate. I checked with my town page on Facebook and was told the shop would install my new seat for me.…and they did. The guys were super nice and not only installed the seat but adjusted it for me. It was $15 well spent. My bike is good to go!
@age_is_just_a_number , thanks! And it was a great game.....WE WON!
Day 22— 163 - 09/13— Keeping my goal the same....gonna get there. I went through the same thing when I was trying to get to the 160's from the 170's. And I did it. It gets harder the closer you get to your final goal. But its not a race, as the saying goes.

@Jon4189 Thanks for responding (four days ago now).
90g protein/day seems quite reasonable to me and confirms what I've been thinking (that my goal is too high).@age_is_just_a_number I have been using those same ratios: carbs 40%, fat 30%, protein 30%. These are the ratios recommended in the Zone diet that I adopted years ago. But with a goal of 2,000 calories, this results in a recommendation of 150g protein per day which I think is more than I need (and difficult to hit).
Here's a blurb I posted elsewhere expressing my frustration with attempting to follow several (somewhat conflicting) recommendations that I've encountered:
How much protein do I really need?
I've been asking myself this question a lot lately, and l think I need less than I've been aiming for.
My goal weight is 220, current weight is ~260, and lean body mass (LBM) is 160+ (DEXA scan).There are several popular recommendations for protein requirements:
- protein per KG of body weight
- 0.8-1.2g (for the average person)
- 1.2-1.8g (for fat loss)
- 1.6-2.2g (athletes/highly active)
- using current weight of 260 pounds (118 KG): at least 95g, 142g and 189g respectively.
- using goal weight of 220 lbs (100 KG): at least 80g, 120g, and 160g respectively.
- using LBM of 160 lbs (73 KG): at least 58g, 87g and 116g respectively.
- Note that relating grams of protein per KG of lean body mass (LBM) would make more sense, but LBM can be difficult to determine, so body weight is used. But this will result in a higher than normal recommendation for those with high body fat (like me).
- protein as percent of calories consumed:
- calorie goal of 2,000 calories
- 10% - 35% of calories consumed is recommended
- Zone Diet recommends 30% protein (30% fat, 40% carbs)
- 10%-35% of 2,000 = 200-700 calories / 4 calories/gram = 50-175 grams of protein
- Zone diet: 30% of 2,000 = 600 calories / 4 calories/gram = 150 grams of protein
I have a goal of 150g of protein/day, which I think higher than it needs to be. So I am happy to get 100+ grams/day average. I think that's more than enough, and unless I notice a decline in muscle strength, I'll settle for that.

@age_is_just_a_number Was that carrot cake made with wholewheat flour? Cos I must have eaten something with a lot of fiber! Down another pound.
Day 22—09/13— 141 lb. Off to a good start. MFP tells me that at current calorie level (Base level 1500. Today I ate 1557 + 30 mins walking) I will weigh 138.4 in 5 weeks.
Day 23—09/14— 140 lb. See - you can lose weight eating carrot cake! Turns out it is healthy after all! My measurements are Waist 29 inches. Hips 29 inches - so a bit bigger all round than I was at 134 lb. But I forget to measure until after breakfast, so I will remeasure tomorrow, hopefully if I remember before eating/drinking.

Week 4 Start Weight: 141 lb.
Week 4 Goal: Not sure I want to set an actual weekly goal. I aim to eat around 1600 cal and walk 40 mins daily. According to MFP, that should drop me 0.5 pounds a week, but I know the loss will not always be perfectly consistent.

@frankwbrown Excuse me, I'm no expert, and if the Zone diet is working for you, then keep going.
But when I was looking at diets, I always checked out what other nutrition experts, esp ones Like Harvard Med and Mayo Clinic had to say. They were not exactly positive about the Zone diet, pointing out that Dr Barry Sears actually a medical doctor. He is a biochemist, and never actually studied nutrition.
As a woman, I noticed that the recommended Zone daily allowance for me was 1200, which I already knew was too low. It is actually the MINIMUM daily amount anyone should eat, so telling me to eat that little rang alarm bells. It's like an employer who says, "Oh $10 an hour is the minimum wage in my state, so that's all I'll pay everyone." That employer is not going to get good staff.
I also read that many experts on protein say 30% is too high, and you actually only need 20%. I'm not American and here and in other countries I've visited people don't eat the large amounts of protein Americans are pushed to do. As I said, I'm no expert, but here's an article to read, if you want to do more research.
You did say you're having trouble meeting the suggested amount. Hope this may help you to find the right balance for you.

Good Almost Sunday Afternoon!
@Takarameri , you are welcome! And SO glad things are moving forward for you!
Day 22— 163 - 09/13— Keeping my goal the same....gonna get there. I went through the same thing when I was trying to get to the 160's from the 170's. And I did it. It gets harder the closer you get to your final goal. But it's not a race, as the saying goes.
Day 23—09/14— 163.4 - Back on the stick today. Had 2 sunny-side-up eggs and toast for breakfast. I will probably skip lunch and have a light dinner….maybe a sandwich. Too much sodium yesterday and not much physical movement. It's supposed to be warmer today…will probably have to turn on the a/c….bleah! And there are two BIG games today….Phillies could clinch the NL East, and the Eagles play the Chiefs!

Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 185.6
Goal This Round: 175.6 (10 pounds)
Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
Total Lost/Gained this challenge: xxxxx
🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜Ultimate Goal: 145-155 (I’ll know Exactly when I get there!)
Thoughts at the start of this round:
This round will be challenging as it includes the U.S. holidays of Labor Day, Halloween and Thanksgiving. All are big foodie or party and dessert type holidays in the U.S. There are also multiple birthday celebrations in my family. In addition, there will be a lot of travel which is traditional in the fall for me as I try to avoid as many icy driving trips as possible in the winter months. There will be lots of doctor appointments away from home as well as Christmas and gift-giving shopping in this round. I will have to make sure I stay on top of my plan in every moment I can and to make the necessary corrections every time the scale goes up. We can’t control the ingredients in restaurant food so portion control will be key when away from home. I will again aim for a 10 pound loss this round. Thanks for sharing your journey with me and allowing me to share mine. I am grateful for you all.

CURRENT WEEK:
Day 22—09/13—184.0 ❌ (Trend Weight:184.8) I hated putting that ❌ there today when yesterday was such a perfect day. Macros were fabulous. Calories & carbs excellent. TMI in order. Very good exercise. The only thing out of line was sleep last night. Just 3.3 hours. I can only guess that after such a late weigh-in yesterday and a huge water shedding after my diuretic, I may have been slightly dehydrated yesterday. I guess this number is where I stand and start my day today and which is most likely accurate. Today I travel about 100 miles to take my DD shopping and DGS to bowl a few games. Lunch will be out, her pick. I guess there may be another squiggly line on my graph tomorrow. We’ll see.
🐝🐝🐝🐝 Day 23—09/14—186.2 ❌ (Trend Weight: 184.9) Bowling with the three littlest littles yesterday was lots of fun but two out of three of them actually beat my scores (the pre-school 4 yr old and the first grader). I used to be a pretty good bowler in my younger days! Lunch out was a Chinese buffet (Foodie DD’s choice). Within the hour of the buffet lunch (she ate a LOT), she ordered Two Large Pizza’s at the bowling alley! Unbelievable! It can’t be food insecurity, I promise she had a normal eating life growing up. I avoided the pizza and was done with food for the day after the buffet. Weight is up 2.2 today which is pretty typical for me after any restaurant meals of any kind. Hopefully I can stay home for a few days and get back to routine. I did shop while away and pick up more of my plan foods. I should be good to go. Enjoy your Sunday!

Hi. I’m an unretired (by choice) senior from central B.C., Canada. Back for another round. Am an absolute turtle at losing and a hare at backsliding! This round my hope it to hang on to each loss then move down from there. Put an end to this eternal yo-yoing.

Too many refined carbs today. Still camping. Went for a short paddle in the canoe today. We do a lot of walking while camping. Today I did a short 15 minute cardio workout and 20 minutes of yoga.

Day 22—09/13— 141 lb. Off to a good start. MFP tells me that at current calorie level (Base level 1500. Today I ate 1557 + 30 mins walking) I will weigh 138.4 in 5 weeks.
Day 23—09/14— 140 lb. See - you can lose weight eating carrot cake! Turns out it is healthy after all! My measurements are Waist 29 inches. Hips 39 inches - so a bit bigger all round than I was at 134 lb. But I forget to measure until after breakfast, so I will remeasure tomorrow, hopefully if I remember before eating/drinking.
Day 24—09/15— 139.5 lb.. Waist 28.5 ins. Hips 38.5 in. Dropping more rapidly than I anticipated! But I am eating only 3 meals a day - no snacks. I prefer salty to sweet, so likely the lower salt consumption is resulting in water loss.

Week 4 Goal: Not sure I want to set an actual weekly goal. I aim to eat around 1600 cal and walk 40 mins daily. According to MFP, that should drop me 0.5 pounds a week, but I know the loss will not always be perfectly consistent.

Happy Monday! I think I forgot to post yesterday 🙁. I had a good weekend, it was busy with outdoor activities… I wish I enjoyed winter outdoor stuff…. Fall is just around the corner! I am so close to the 18X's…. Getting there!

Yesterday was good. The nutrition side went well. I went for a short walk around the downtown area, and then did about 30 minutes of Zwift (spin bike). That route had one sprint segment. It was short enough that it got my heart rate up high without making me hate my life for too long, LOL. I'm no longer dreading sprints now that I can see how much they benefit my cardio levels.
It was good to see a little drop in the weight today. The challenge will come in the following days during a three day trip. I'll have no choice but to eat out, so we'll see how that goes. I'll post again on Friday morning when I return.
