    Age 60, 5'4.5" and eating in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet. I eat back exercise calories, or I would be starving and cranky. Hubby does not like cranky me. Changed MFP setting 5/5/18 to 1/2# per week loss ~ within 10# of UGW, weight loss had stalled 3 months + was feeling hungry more often.
    MFP SW 195 ~ Goals: #1 = 150 / #2 = 145 [normal BMI] / #3 = maintain 140 - 145 / no goal dates ~ I get there when I get there
    Thrilled with my 2/15/18 annual physical: BP 110/68, pulse 64 and BMI 26.14 :star:

    My digital scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Weigh first thing in morning / comments reflect prior day.

    R30 EW 153.5 LW 153.5 = sick 4 days

    05/02: 154.5 Stuck with meal plans but Snacked. Too. Much. on almonds (before supper) & veggies straws (late evening). At least those snacks are out of the house. Forced myself to log (guesstimates) ~ ack! Net calories, sodium & sugar RED, fiber & protein good & 15c water. Rest day / Fitbit 9,129 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 40 floors.
    05/03: 154.0 Fitbit 7,411 steps, 250+ 12/14 (spa night) & 25 floors. Stuck with meal/snack plan except finished snappea crisps for evening snack (unplanned) ~ net calories -208, sodium -358, fiber ok, sugar green, protein good & 15c water. Close enough for unplanned rest day (overslept alarm).
    05/04: 154.5 Evening social event & self-control not so much... Oh well, oops. At least I got up from table to remove myself from further damage. No idea how to log some, used quick add... needless to say net calories, sodium & sugar all RED. 15c water anyway. Walked dog before work / 3.4 mi 59:49 pace 17:34 / happy dog & happy me. Fitbit 15,969 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 35 floors ~ hoping I can move up the leaderboard of workplace step challenge.

    05/10: 153.5 I think changing my MFP setting to 1/2# per week, and having more net calories to play with, is agreeing with me.

Walked dog before work in off + on sprinkles + beat the rain / 3.43 mi 1:01:05 / remembered to stretch. Fitbit 16,489 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 46 floors. Workplace step challenge ~ currently in 31st place / top 30 women get prize at 10-week point... too bad leader board combines men & women, and everyone is listed by code number with no gender identification.
    05/11: 154.0 Net calories -85, sodium -517, sugar -13, fiber & protein good & 14c water. Walked dog after work 3.42 mi 59:43. Fitbit 13,538 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 & 41 floors.
    05/12: 153.5 Rest day / Fitbit 9,134 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 33 floors. Net calories -156, sodium green (yay), sugar -12, protein good, fiber excellent & 14c water, so not too bad for rest day.

    05/14: 153.5 Walked dog 4.36 miles 1:16:38 pace 17:34 ~ happy dog & happy me. Fitbit 18,600 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 & 33 floors. Dinner plans had to be changed b/c something I thought I had in freezer - not! Still managed to keep net calories & sugar green, sodium red, fiber & protein a little low, 14c water.
    05/15: 153.0 Weight machine & circuit training before work. Fitbit 14,642 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 18 floors ~ observation fieldwork = lots of steps.

[5/15/18 annual workplace Health Risk Assessment at 8:15 a.m. (fasting blood draw)]
    05/16: 152.5 Rest day since couldn't eat or work out before HRA / nurses were impressed by my changes since last year. :blush: Had to promote MFP & my MFP community, of course ~ I couldn't have done it without you!

    5/08 Fitbit steps- 11,300, 67 minutes of exercise. eating lots of vegetables, eating healthy!

    5/09 - working hard to be strong, had a great day yesterday, had swelling from my head going to my toes. Keep going!

    5/10 - tracking my food I thought I ate good, but I realized my sodium was up. Still had lots of vegetables.

    5/11 - Fitbit steps-8,500 My eating was not as good as usual as far as vegetables, had to remind myself why I had surgery. I eat healthier when I make it myself. I keep telling myself how good I`m doing and every day I have a new challenge. Keep positive!

    5/12 - I am so lucky I eat my foods to help me heal. Chicken, lots of vegetables, fruit and water. Back to the doctors today the start of bronchitis, I can not believe all the virus I keep catching!

    5/13- Going to push harder, for exercise this week. I need to focus on me.

    5/14 Enjoying the sunshine today! Starting to get stronger again. Eating healthy!

    5/15- Eating a lot of vegetables, and fruits. Sodium and sugar are both good! When I cook instead of going out to eat.

    5/16 My grandson had minor surgery, good recovery. Went out for dinner I asked if they could omit salt, which helped me a lot. Swelling in my face and neck, make it difficult.

    5/17 Logging my food, had lots of veggies today.

    OSW:188
    Ultimate goal: 138
    Round 38: 180.1 (-5.9)
    Round 39: 179.9 (-0.2)
    Round 40: 187 (+7.1)

    Day/Weight/Comment
    5/08 181, had a low exercise/high calorie day yesterday and got it shows. Movement and water are my friends today.
    5/09 181.7 Not going to freak out yet. Was within calorie goal but I think some of this is water retention from big exercise day.
    5/10 179.9, 20K steps, stayed in calories, drank water minimum, limited calories after dinner
    5/11 179, 12k steps, stayed in calorie goal including treats. Super pleased.
    5/12 179.7, 12k steps, ate back some exercise calories. Lifted weights too.
    5/13 179.7, slacker day. No change is actually a good thing considering I got about 5,000 steps and didn’t log
    5/14 181.2 This is what happens when I don’t exercise or log for a weekend. Back to work.
    5/15 183.4 argh!!!
    5/16 185.6 binged
    5/17 187 binged

    "Our greatest glory is, not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Oliver Goldsmith
    Start this FINAL weight loss journey 10/18/2017 = 147.9
    Start Just Give Me 10 Days ... 11/9/2017
    R22 * Start = 143.4 * Ave = 141.9 * Min = 140.2 * End = 141.2
    R23 * Start = 142.0 * Ave = 140.1 * Min = 139.4 * End = 139.6
    R24 * Start = 140.0 * Ave = 138.6 * Min = 137.0 * End = 137.0
    R25 * Start = 136.6 * Ave = 137.0 * Min = 135.8 * End = 135.8
    R26 * Start = 136.6 * Ave = 135.6 * Min = 134.8 * End = 136.0
    R27 * Start = 135.4 * Ave = 135.0 * Min = 133.4 * End = 134.0
    R28 * Start = 135.2 * Ave = 133.5 * Min = 132.2 * End = 133.0

    R32 * Start = 130.0 * Ave = 130.0 * Min = 129.0 * End = 131.0
    R33 * Start = 130.0 * Ave = 129.3 * Min = 128.4 * End = 129.2
    R34 * Start = 129.0 * Ave = 128.7 * Min = 128.0 * End = 129.8
    Maintenance Starts
    R35 * Start = 128.6 * Ave = 128.7 * Min = 127.6 * End = 127.6

    R38 * Start = n/a * Ave = 127.5 * Min = 127.0 * End = 127.4
    R39 * Start = 127.8 * Ave = 128.4 * Min = 127.2 * End 129.8

    Round 40 GOAL = Ease slowly back to the middle of my maintenance zone (125-130), and push the exercise and steps.

    5/8 - 129.0 - Yesterday under calories, 40 minutes on elliptical, 10K steps.
    5/9 - 128.8 - Yesterday a bit over calories, 8K steps. Having a hard time getting any incidental steps at work, so slammed I am just glued to my desk stressing for 9 hours straight ... did not work for me (or anyone else)
    5/10 -128.8 - Yesterday over calories thanks to medicinal insomnia sugar in the middle of the night, other than that it would have been a reasonable day. 10K steps and got a walk at lunch.
    5/11 - 128.8 - Yesterday under calories, super tired, to bed early and slept 9 hours yay!
    5/12 - 129.4 - yesterday over calories with too much sugar after dinner :( Badly done!
    5/13 - 128.0 - yesterday under calories, a couple of hours gardening, 8k steps.
    5/14 - 128.0 - yesterday under calories, 10K steps
    5/15 - 127.6 - yesterday under calories, 13K steps, nice workout split between run and elliptical
    5/16 - 128.4 - yesterday over calories, few steps, no workout :confounded: I have to find a better way of handling my writing group Tuesdays, which combine a busy/stressy work day, a lunch hour spent doing reviews, and after-work hunger while faced with snacks I have prepared for my friends, a great dinner prepared by hubs, and exhaustion .......

    5/17 - 127.6 - yesterday was not great either to be honest.

    R40 * Start = 129.0 * Ave = 128.4 * Min = 127.6 * End = 127.6
