🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 309 (my 239th).

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
an additional goal for me (again) this round is to have a totally 10-day binge free round.

I need to remain consistent - it does work! 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".

SW Rnd 309 Using weight from 9/20; first weigh in on return from holiday – 146.3

9/17 DNW - 6.3 miles walked. Had a lovely day, hotel spoiled us last night, all sensible eating went out the window!!

9/18 DNW - 9.3 miles walked. Caught the bus to Ibiza Town, wandered around the port, castle, cathedral & maze of old streets.

9/19 DNW - 8.94 miles walked, did favorite walk of the holiday to the lighthouse and back along the coastal rocks & pm last lay on beach & swim in the sea.

9/20 146.3 – that’s the holiday damage!! And a shock to be 0.3 pounds back into the BMI overweight category !! My giddy aunt!! Here we go working to lose 1.5 pound by the end of the round. No structured walking due to flying back home.

9/21 144.6 – that’s a better number, at least I am back in the normal BMI range. No structured walking, took our 2 little DGS out for the day whilst DD & SIL went to the theatre for a Friends parody show – they have always been great fans. We took the boys bowling as the weather was inclement, and all had a wonderful time. Eating well back on track.

Day/Weight/Comment

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 184.0

09/18-187.8 ❌ (Trend Weight – 185.0)

09/19-185.0 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 185.0)

09/20-184.4 ✅ (Trend Weight: 184.9) I’m happy to see a drop but don’t know if I believe it for two reasons. #1- my scale battery died (rechargeable) and I had to find a low to ground plug to plug it in while weighing. That put the scale in a completely different spot. #2- my dinner was downright STUPID yesterday in every possible way. I ate it 5 hours early and it was 3 McDonald’s pies (2 pumpkin crème and 1 apple). Thank you to my 98 pound size triple zero DD who left them out for me. My fault for caving, I know! I know! In her defense, I don’t think she expected me to eat all 3 at once or use them as a meal replacement! Anyway, I Starved for the rest of the day and caved at night for too many “healthy” snacks putting me way over on calories and carbs. We’ll see what the scale tomorrow brings.

🐝🐝🐝🐝 09/21-184.4 〰️ (Trend Weight: 184.9) I was happy to see the weight held up after I was so unsure yesterday. Relief! Yesterday’s meals were well thought out and followed but the snacks last night were unacceptable. I’ve really got to work on my late night habits (again!).

09/22-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

@itladyee OMG Lola is adorable!! I can’t stand it! I’m so sorry about the job loss, and I can’t believe you aren’t receiving any severance. Sounds like it might be the push you needed into retirement and will afford you the time you need for a puppy.

pezhed · September 21

I’m Amanda, 5’2” 40F in Appalachian Virginia.

Non-scale goals (tracked for prior day):

🏃🏻‍♀️ Intentional movement 7/10 days

🚫 No alcohol 7/10 days

SW Rnd 309: 129.0

RGW: 128.0

9/18 - 130.6🏃🏻‍♀️🚫 Didn’t have a bad day yesterday. Just bouncing back from being a little dehydrated after drinking wine. I’ve been doing a 5-day express strength program on Peloton all week. Daily 20-minute full body progressive overload with dumbbells. They go by quickly but the soreness is starting to add up. It feels good to be more consistent with strength training though. I’ve been substituting at middle schools all week. Middle school starts at 7:30 here 🥱 My sleep has been good but I still find it challenging to wake up at 6. Tomorrow I’m actually subbing in my son’s 1st grade class! It has a later start and I get to see inside his day at school.

9/19 - 130.2 🏃🏻‍♀️ Drank wine and ate cake with my neighbor last night 🤦🏻‍♀️ Subbing in my son’s class was a blast! However, it showed me that he needs some reading remediation at home. He was completely unplugged during that portion of class. Sad to see it but glad to be aware of it now. His teacher has told me nothing.

9/20 - 130.2. Didn’t meet either non-scale goal yesterday and just really didn’t treat my body well. We went to a brewery, at which I drank, then ate cheeseburger pizza very late. It felt so wrong to do that to my body, that I actually realize I have come a long way in my thinking. It’s rare for me to do that, so instead of beating myself up about it I’m acknowledging that what used to be near-daily behavior (in my 20s) is now super rare. Now I need to move forward and shift my behavior. So far this round I’m not doing great with that.

9/21 - 131.2 🏃🏻‍♀️ Boy we’ve had a social few days here, which has resulted in drinking 3 days in a row. I’ve been through plenty of phases of this but it isn’t where I wish to be. I also have not been mindful of what I’m eating, including so far today. DH is grilling but I need to figure out what veggies we can have with the meat. I shook out of my stupor and got on the Peloton bike for a low impact workout. That made me feel better! Planning to head into Monday on a high note!

Not my best day. Overate and under exercised. My win is a lite hike, and even though I overate, stopping myself several times before I fully binged.

9/22 173.4 I’d be pleased if this is real but I also would not be surprised if I bounce up a bit. Especially if I eat the left overs in the fridge today.

It was a busy social weekend. I’m starting the week with a messy house, lots of dirty laundry and a sinus allergy attack. I need to dig deep this morning and try to right this ship.

I was disciplined, came naturally… it’s easy to stay in #HSF mode when my mind and emotions are at peace.That’s a good thing! #MindBodySoul.

Tennis tournament starts today – two matches today and two matches tomorrow (in the mid 90s) so I will hydrate & have fun! Lots of 🥩 💦 & Electrolytes✨

Spent a good bit of time yesterday in prayer & reflection as well as this morning. A peaceful & present experience to start this day. Will 🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️ ⏱️ now to warm-up for first 🎾 match!

9/20 & 9/21 DNW. Great nutrition Friday but not so much yesterday. Two tennis matches Friday/one yesterday -all were grueling. My team missed the playoffs by one loss. We had a great time! I can certainly feel my age from a few years ago… Three tough matches in the heat took its toll. I was exhausted yesterday and ended up eating way more than I should have (PASTA-what?!?!!!). It was a decision based on exhaustion & not smart for me… Fell asleep super early last night - tossed and turned from being too full… I learned that, for me, overdoing it physically then rationalizing it by increased portions - has many more negative ramifications than simply not exercising (if that makes any sense). I’m still recovering today from the heat & pushing too hard and will jump back on board here tomorrow. Hydrating today! I apologize for not keeping up with our “feed” I will catch up by tomorrow. But oh @itladyee Princess Lola is darling! We had a Lola once… Lola was our golden retriever for 13 years and my love!! Enjoy!

9/22 DNW I’m still in a fog. Back tomorrow. Today:🚶‍♀️💗👣🏋️‍♀️💦

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 of 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6

GW Maintaining between 124 – 126

Tues spent 4 hours trying to help acclimate new private aid for mom, who then quit and snuck off the job two hours before her end time. Wed working on aftermath, and today, back to maine to clean everything there and close it down. I distract easily.

We are going out to eat tonight, but I know the restaurant and menu.

9/19 – 127.2 Just mildly better than past few days.

9/20 – 128.0 Now that was cruel. :P I finally did a great day. First since last weekend. I will say though that over the years I have seen that “day after pasta” day often shows an up. Yes, we had pasta last night, but I tracked it thoroughly.

9/21 – 128.6 another up without reason. Going to just let this play out. It will sort and stabilize soon and I’ll know where I am out. Looking to get back 126 or below before November.

9/22 – 127.4 I think this could be a realistic number for my behavior this week (1.6 lb gain from last weekend which would mean about 5600 calories over for the week). Yesterday was not awful, but I did not accurately track. I don’t have the groceries in the house to support better choices, and I think this is going to continue a few more days until I can get a reset.

Well that’s more like it! How I eat had so much impact on my joint pain. Today I feel normal again. Such a relief!

@itladyee wishing you a fun and fulfilling (if sudden) retirement! Lola is lucky to have you. You can make it work, I know it’s a shocker. Hubby got “aged out” a year ago and now we are just fine.

I’m Amanda, 5’2” 40F in Appalachian Virginia.

Non-scale goals (tracked for prior day):

🏃🏻‍♀️ Intentional movement 7/10 days

🚫 No alcohol 7/10 days

SW Rnd 309: 129.0

RGW: 128.0

9/18 - 130.6🏃🏻‍♀️🚫 Didn’t have a bad day yesterday. Just bouncing back from being a little dehydrated after drinking wine. I’ve been doing a 5-day express strength program on Peloton all week. Daily 20-minute full body progressive overload with dumbbells. They go by quickly but the soreness is starting to add up. It feels good to be more consistent with strength training though. I’ve been substituting at middle schools all week. Middle school starts at 7:30 here 🥱 My sleep has been good but I still find it challenging to wake up at 6. Tomorrow I’m actually subbing in my son’s 1st grade class! It has a later start and I get to see inside his day at school.

9/19 - 130.2 🏃🏻‍♀️ Drank wine and ate cake with my neighbor last night 🤦🏻‍♀️ Subbing in my son’s class was a blast! However, it showed me that he needs some reading remediation at home. He was completely unplugged during that portion of class. Sad to see it but glad to be aware of it now. His teacher has told me nothing.

9/20 - 130.2. Didn’t meet either non-scale goal yesterday and just really didn’t treat my body well. We went to a brewery, at which I drank, then ate cheeseburger pizza very late. It felt so wrong to do that to my body, that I actually realize I have come a long way in my thinking. It’s rare for me to do that, so instead of beating myself up about it I’m acknowledging that what used to be near-daily behavior (in my 20s) is now super rare. Now I need to move forward and shift my behavior. So far this round I’m not doing great with that.

9/21 - 131.2 🏃🏻‍♀️ Boy we’ve had a social few days here, which has resulted in drinking 3 days in a row. I’ve been through plenty of phases of this but it isn’t where I wish to be. I also have not been mindful of what I’m eating, including so far today. DH is grilling but I need to figure out what veggies we can have with the meat. I shook out of my stupor and got on the Peloton bike for a low impact workout. That made me feel better! Planning to head into Monday on a high note!

9/22 - 131.6 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫 A deserved gain. Using today to reset. It feels like I still haven’t mentally bounced back from vacation mode which is very annoying. Planning on a dog walk and strength training, as well as grocery shopping to prepare for the week.

9/18: 180.0 😊Well, this was my goal for yesterday. 🤣Lunch out with the fam, then tap class.💃

9/19 180.4 🤨Not really sure why there was an increase with as much activity as I had yesterday??? In addition, I had a surplus of calories. So frustrating! But I’m not giving up. Went for a short walk this morning and practiced tap. Then went to an art fair and walked around all evening. Lots of activity again. We’ll see tomorrow.

9/20: 181.3 😔Late night eating and drinking. Today I have a bridal shower and then another outing with friends this evening. Sadly, I’m not expecting tomorrow to be any better.

9/21: 180.4 😊Well, this is a step in the right direction. I didn’t eat anything at the bridal shower because there was essentially nothing gluten free for me to eat. Plus, the food that was there was intermingled with crackers that I could not have. I can’t explain the hurt and feelings of betrayal considering that this was a shower for a future family member. I really didn’t think I needed to say on the invitation that I’m celiac. Whatever. I’ve decided that my future RSVPs will say that I will be happy to attend if my food safety is protected. Yes, I could take a separate meal for myself, but that is just weird. While I was standing there looking at the food wondering what on earth here is safe, the bride-to-be flippantly said to me, “Sorry, I don’t know what is gluten free here.” So sorry for my rant.

On a positive note, I went to an event full of food trucks (about 15 of them) and figured that I wouldn’t find anything I could eat…but I DID!!! I was so happy! We had a good time. Nice to end on a positive note.

9/22: 179.3 🎉I am happy, but not getting attached. However, motivation is high today! Yesterday, we had lasagna that I made last winter…in the freezer, of course. I entered the recipe in MFP and was a little mind-blown.🤯I mean, I knew it would be a lot, but…wow! Okay, so I cut them in smaller pieces and got it down to a reasonable size. If anything, I understood how the weight creeped on me. It also showed me that this indeed is a lifestyle and that I will need to keep track of this forever. I also am reminded that I need to be patient while my body decides to give up the fat!

@miscanon3617 OMG! BEST. VIDEO. EVER!!!! I’m sure I will watch that a few more times. Thank you!🎉

@itladyee So very sorry about your job.😢 I’ve been there and it stinks! On the bright side, we must have a pic of Lola every day! So glad you have her to cuddle with. Hang in there! 💕

@musicsax Thank you for your kind words.💕 I’m still learning how to navigate this disease. Ugh!
