Great to have you here Maureen! We are both headed in the "right" direction. This next week I will continue to weigh, track, and pedal my recumbent bike 5 days out of 7 or better.1 -

Oppressive week emotionally. Did log into mfp daily but did not do much else. Feeling lighter as of yesterday. Think that will help me focus on lightening up physically as well.0 -

Welcome back Mary! Today is my birthday (71) and went out to eat with friends twice today and had a nice slice of my favorite carrot cake! Going to wait until the weekend to weigh in for this week.

Man, I can see the effects of celebrating my birthday "month" with carrot cake and homemade pasta (at a restaurant). I'm giving away the rest of the carrot cake today and back to sane eating and tracking. Funny that I am back to .1 lower than a month ago. So I can say that I've lost weight over the last month, LOL.0 -

Stressing about moving, finances, job changes. Going for the carbs. Haven't logged in or weighed for 10 days--going for the carbs. Giving myself a high-five for logging in and weighing in today.

Definitely stress eating--3 weeks and 5 days until I move and still a mountain of packing to do. I going to keep on logging in and weighing, one day at a time.0 -
Starting again. This challenge is from 9/26/22 to November 1/18/22. 8 weeks if I counted correctly. I'm going to delve into senior intermittent fasting--a 7-hour window of eating, not eating (fasting) the rest of the time. I'll record my food and strive for healthy whole foods. Join me with whatever food plan and exercise work for you. I know I lost 50 pounds in a year by recording food and fasting (700 calories) two days a week. This time I'm just going to mind the 7-hour window to eat daily.

Well, this 11-7 eating bracket is not looking so good. Because I am not really being thoughtful about what I'm eating. It has leveled out a bit. Will get back to tracking and drinking more water. Never good for me to eat a lot in one sitting. Remember my family sitting around the table and having seconds and thirds of food on the table. Sticking to the 11-7 or 10-6 because it has eliminated my night eating and late snacking.0 -
I'm back after a month of struggle. I'll weigh in tomorrow.0

The first challenge of 2023 runs from January 1 until the end of February, about 10 weeks. I like to plan challenges based on the season. My goal for the year is to lose 30 pounds through weighing, tracking food, and two days a week of intermittent fasting (750 calories) a week. I will strive to keep my coaching to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with my fasting days being Tuesday and Thursday. I will also do recumbent biking, swimming, and chair yoga and plan to get to bed by 11:00 or earlier and awaken at 9:00 or earlier. I will strive to eat mostly whole foods and watch my sugar and fat intake.0 -

I have been faithful to my Tuesday/Thursday fast and kept it to 1350 every other day. Already seeing results but hard for me to be patient--I want everything I envisioned for 2023 to effortlessly manifest today, or at the latest, tomorrow, lol. Slow and steady, Gayle. My goal is 165 by year's end but I think the fast days will help me to move it along at a faster pace. The fast days (approx. 750 calories) have been easy. One day at a time, girlfriend, one day at a time.0 -

Been doing some emotional eating and not getting enough exercise. Better at drinking water. Trouble with constipation a bit. Exercise needs to be added to my routine. Today close to perfecting a checklist for my morning routine. One step at a time. Have not stopped weighing but slacking on the recording. Today is a new day and starts a new week. Weighing, recording, recumbent bike. Met with my fellow swimmer this last week and will start swimming soon.1 -

Headed in the right direction. January has been a B
for me so far but not going to stop striving. Just found out that I'm pre-diabetic and it reinforces that exercise is the key. Set my goals for the year, and when one sets goals what often comes up is all the obstacles that need to be dealt with to get there. But whoever said that life would be a sail on a gentle sea?

Struggling with digestion so moving more to the Low FODmap diet. Close to being on it so will just move further down the road. We will see if it helps.

OK, well, focusing on health instead of weight loss. My gut has gone wonky and I suspect a week-long binge (eating my family's goulash every day) might have been so high FODMap that I still have digestive issues weeks later. So, watching portions, eating low FODmap food (can I really give up onions and celery??), and trying to get my gut back to "normal". I'm open to suggestions.0 -

Still focused on health with weight loss second but doing better digestively. Quitting kombucha because I think foods that ferment might be my problem (high FODMAP). Watching my intake of dairy, wheat, peppers, and broccoli (to some extent but often in frozen veggie mixes). Picking out the peppers but eating the broccoli, for the most part. The big sticking point for me with the FODMAP diet is the no onions and garlic--some of my favorite flavors. Can sub the green part of spring onions and garlic infused olive oil. Really feel like I don't know what to eat. At some point will do the FODMAP strict diet (?) like an allergy diet then gradually add in suspected foods to identify foods that cause issues.0 -

A month later..hey, I lost .3! Actually, the focus hasn't been on weight loss but on managing my GERD, which is eroding my esophagus to the point of bleeding (in the past, hopefully). The anti-GERD medicine makes me feel terrible but trying lots of things. The bright side is that it has led me to TSD Mindfulness. Had a high from getting involved with that yesterday but now the hard work.0 -

The 23rd is my first Friday weight recording. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve so this weekend, although I will track, might not be perfect in terms of staying within calories. Next weekend is the last weekend before this personal challenge takes off in earnest. My goal is 165. Easier on my knees and the rest of my body. Looking forward to getting rid of my spare tire around my waist.0
