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 [R39] 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
Ecstatic with my 5/15/18 annual workplace Health Risk Assessment: waist smallest since 2007 and BMI 25.6
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.

I am in. I have been very cognizant of my eating but not logging. Hopefully I will get it together. I am motivated. But as we all know it takes more than motivation. It takes using all the tools you have and dedication.

Love this challenge. Goal this round: always be aware of what I’m eating. Maybe it should be always be aware of what I’m doing because the eating I regret always comes with mindless doing, procrastination, and/or tiredness. Also want to get in all my gym days and some kind of exercise every day. A ‘just for 10 days’ experiment.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/07, Saturday – 161.8 Hoping this will be easy to get down to the 160’s.
7/08, Sunday – 161.8 Seems like I spent most of yesterday on the phone but did get in some gardening in the evening – first time placing stones in a two level bed. It was a lot of fun and think it turned out well.
7/09, Monday – 161.6 Gym today.
7/10, Tuesday – 161.8 Rain today – thankful that God decided to water and I don’t have to. Woke up early so decided to start my home exercises, aim to run through them all today (abt. 1 hr, and a spread it over the day). They make a good balance for the gym but haven’t done the whole lot in more than a year.
7/11, Wednesday - 161.2 Making progress … off to the gym today.
7/12, Thursday – 161.2 Gym and gardening yesterday but ended up eating a bit in the evening. Not supposed to eat anything after about 8 because of invisible Gerd and also a good weight loss habit. Finding it hard to stick with when doing physical work in the evening though – my favorite time to garden as it is quiet and cool.
7/13, Friday – 162.2 More evening snacking. Decided to cut my meal portions a bit as that should be better for the Gerd but obviously have to change something else so I don’t make up for it in the evening. Also stressed out about the amount of yard work that needs to get done – but stress eating in the evening and then not feeling great the next day definitely does not help the problem.
7/14, Saturday – 161.6 Was so good yesterday, watching calories and went to gym. Did not sleep well last night, have had trouble sleeping all week, which is very unusual for me. So will have to really watch it today.
7/15, Sunday -
7/16, Monday – 162.4 Hoping this is mostly water. At least had a normal night’s sleep and feel ready for the week.
Sorry if this is a repost - I haven't figured out how to go back to my last post. Entirely possible that I edited it and then got distracted before posting (especially because I don't like what it tells me).7 -
ROUND 4 FOR ME - Female 58 yrs old Original starting weight 235 on 1/11/18
………We are fierce and so we fight………
Goals: 1. To be an inspiration to my 22 year old Autistic son who started his weight loss journey on May 1, 2018 weighing 308.4 .
2. 3 lb loss to land at 188.4 or less
3. No Bingeing

5. 10,000 steps per day. Mixed modes of exercise.
6. Lots of water, green tea daily, apple cider vinegar before carby meals.
7. Check my blood sugar daily for improvements.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/07 189.6 Can this be real? I worked hard at this yesterday to get this challenge off to a better start than the last. Over 10,000 steps. Intermittent fasted for 16:8 . 25 net carbs. 1269 calories. Now just to hang on……..
7/08 189.0…. Very pleased with progress. Now….Just to keep from sabotaging myself. Dr. Appointment tomorrow which is keeping me accountable. Hope I can hold it steady afterward…..
I walked nearly 13,000 steps yesterday including a planned 1 mile brisk walk just prior to dinner. I intermittent fasted 16:8. Liquids okay but could have been better. Battled some cravings late night, but got through it with a square of bitter 90% dark cacao chocolate. I tried hard to pretend it was milk chocolate or maybe a Milky Way but eh…….
7/09 188.4 Dr. Appointment later today so I wanted to be accountable. I walked over 16,000 steps yesterday and nearly 7 miles. Low on water due to work and being so busy. Followed my diet well and fought the late night cravings and urges to binge which I sometimes give in to. I intermittent fasted 16:8 which is not always easy for me. The doctor appt today kept me on track for sure!
7/10 187.4 Keep on keepin’ on. Walked over 10,000 steps. 16:8 Intermittent fast. Good water, tea and vinegar. Brisk 1.5 mile walk after dinner. Dr. & staff impressed with weight loss. Blood Pressure 112/77. All is well. Today is an out of town trip quite far from home. Due to being mainly carbound, I will not get in my steps and my diet will be off. We’ll see what tomorrow’s scales bring. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday!
7/11 out of town today. No scale, but it won’t be good. Chinese buffet yesterday. I will be very careful today as I travel home. I dread the water weight after so many carbs and so much sodium. When I’m home and use the scale tomorrow it will probably be a very sad day. Why? Why? Why?...........
7/12 192.2 ugggg…….. 13,122 steps yesterday after I got home but less than 5, 000 on Tuesday due to travel plan. The Chinese food yesterday is showing and the picture isn’t pretty. I watched my diet pretty carefully yesterday after I arrived home. 27 carbs, 1085 calories. The 13,000 steps included a brisk 1.5 mile walk in my neighborhood. But as I’ve stated before, you cannot outrun the fork so I pay dearly….. I will continue to be careful today and try hard to reach my macros, carbs and calories with grace (even if it is without ease). The fight continues and I do remain fierce.
7/13 192.4 Drats! A night out last night with too many carbs and calories. 7,556 steps. No planned walk or exercise. I guess the number could be even higher so I’ll take it. Today, however, I will be doing my Intermittent fasting 16:8. Drinking my tea, lemon water, vinegar water etc. And I will be doing an Egg Fast to get my macros back on track. My goal at this point is to try and reach my lowest weight I have achieved this round which is 187.4. Don’t know that I can make that in the next 3 weigh-ins, especially on a weekend, but I am surely going to do my best! No desserts!!!!
7/14 190.0 The 180’s are flirting with me again and I plan on falling for it hook, line and sinker. Yesterday: 10,223 steps. Began an Egg Fast which went very well. Drank my vinegar, my lemon water and my black coffee. No green tea. Busy day. Not a lot of time, no walk today but plenty of natural steps. Net Carbs 12, Calories 1363. Look out 180’s, you can run but you can’t hide!
7/15 187.8 This meets my original goal. However, I still would like to see my lowest weight during this round which is 187.4. I will be very careful today so it will hopefully drop that 0.4 by tomorrow. Yesterday I practiced the intermittent fast 16:8. Fluids good. Very low calorie and carb counts which is why I see such a dramatic change on the scale. It was the 2nd day of my Egg Fast. I walked 10,500 steps including my 1.5 mile brisk walk in the neighborhood. Total miles walked yesterday 5.72 . I made tacos, rice and loaded refried beans for my son, brother and neighbor friend. My son’s quantity was limited for calorie restriction. But tacos are his favorite. I am proud that I didn’t eat any at all to stay within my carb limits. Overall it was a good day. NSV= Ex-Husband seen me today for the first time in over a year. I had no idea he was coming to see our son. I was looking so much thinner, healthier…..Folks, I was rockin it and looking so gooooood……. .It definitely gave me the boost up that I needed in morale…..
7/16 186.0 I can’t believe it, I met my goal. Yesterday stats: 3rd day of Egg Fast. Had 15 net carbs, 1220 calories. Over 11,000 steps in working but no set exercise. Lots of water. Low sodium I think so I sipped boullion. Intermittent fasted 16:8 again. See you all tomorrow.

7/8 167.2 Trend wt: 167.1* loss/week: 0.4*
7/9 167.2a Trend wt: 167.1* loss/week: 0.4*
Noticed my weekly average sodium is up to 1760mg this week. Culprit: olives on my salads...!
Will cut the quantity down. Hehe Ate our for a special event yesterday - cut back rest of day & walked extra to eat at maintenance level. Pleased.
Noticed that I felt groggy, was yawning a lot, some slight nausea — for the first time in over 8 months. Didn’t eat too much, but it had Much more fats and refined carbs. My fiber micro was the lowest in 8 months lol I’m pleased as this will reinforce my not eating out
7/10 166.8 a Trend wt: 167.0* Loss/week: 0.4*
Scale has been wonky. This could have been 167.4, but shifted at last minute. Fingers crossed!!
I just realized I’ve weighed under 170 lbs since May 26! Encouraging! Now to get my high weight to 166.4! Feeling more motivated to lose more.
7/11 165.6* ✅Trend wt: 166.8* Loss/week: 0.5*
Okay, I figured out what was happening...a new brand of hummus was driving up my daily sodium/retaining water. I’m also eating less overall. Exercising, but with less intensity.
BMI: 24.8!! Normal at 5’8.5”✅ I’m sure this will bounce a bit, but trend line tells the story!!
7/12 165.2*a ✅ Trend wt: 166.6* Loss/wk: 0.6**
Wow! Lowest weight so far!! SO exciting.
Largest trending Loss/wk since June 11. I recognized what took the wind out of my weight loss sails (& decided to maintain) & am now being kind to myself as I pull out of it. I am creating more of a deficit calorie-wise each day than before.
Funny story: when I saw 165.2 on the scale, I thought “What, no way I gained 7 lbs..!!” No idea why I thought that. I weighed three times, 165.2, 165.2 165.2 thinking “wow, my scale must be broken” Started walking to Hubby’s scale when I finally woke up enough to realize I’d lost - hadn’t recognized the 165 since I was not expecting a lower number & in fact, I’m not sure I’ve seen this number since high school!! Sure is tricky getting used to new wt numbers!
7/13 165.8* a ✅ Trend wt: 165.9* Loss/wk: 0.6*
OK, saw there was another method Happy Scale uses for Trend Wt calculations that it says is better/more predictive. Switched as of this morning.
7/14 166* a✅ Trend wt: 165.8* Loss/wk: 0.6* Feeling much more settled than the past two months, as I transitioned to a maintenance mentality. As I learned from others on MFP, Trend weights ARE invaluable!
7/15 166* a✅ Trend wt: 165.8* Loss/wk: 0.6*
SO happy that I was able to rally again this Round, and shift some mindsets/habits!
7/16 166 a✅ Trend wt: 165.8*!Loss/wk: 0.6*

7/06- I had a super hungry day due to (steroids), but I know to watch tomorrow, more exercise and watch my food choices. I went for a long walk tonight.
7/07- Prepared my meals for next week. Made broccoli soup, for lunch next week. Lots of vegetables and fruit.
Going to be very careful what I pick to eat. Fitbit steps 11,500.
7/08- Better food choices having a hard time steroids are making me hungry and 2-4 hours of sleep at night, went out walking Fitbit steps-10, 500. Enjoyed the weather outside today.
7/10- Great day spent lots of time outside, went for a walk after dinner 11,500 steps. Made a lot of good food
choices, had a smoothie frozen pineapples, celery, cucumbers, spinach, flax seed and water. Kept me full.
7/11- Tip - I made enough of my smoothie to last for today too. Fitbit steps 10,500, I was tired today only 2 1/2 hours of sleep last night.
7/12- another 2 hour sleep night. Fitbit steps 9,000. Need the weekend to rest.
7/13- Went for my radiation appointment and then weekly visit with the doctor he could not believe I`m doing so good, active and no symptoms at all. I have to work on planning my meals today I did not plan and I ate more than usual. I have to make soups and smoothies to have ready.
7/14 - Only one day I didn't reach 10,000 steps. I am going to increase this week. Have to do some cooking and preparing food for next week. I am craving strawberries but it is to hot for me to pick them. Maybe during the middle of the week it is suppose to be a little more comfortable.
7/15 Made broccoli, leek soup today. Then had a take it easy day, not much sleep last night. Fitbit steps 8,500.
7/16 -Today was my half way mark for radiation, 15 more to go and not one symptom yet. Except steroids.Keep me up during the day and night. I think my diet is helping I drink so much water and I think the avocados I crave ,are helping me. Tomorrow it is suppose to be better weather so I can go power walking again.9 -

7/07...174...looking forward to the next ten days' progress!
7/08...174... ya, baby!!!! It's legit! Worked my tail off yesterday and feeling it. Got another busy day ahead.
7/09...176...had another hot work day yesterday. Chalking the gain up to water retention. Bod feels achy and great. Was ravenous last night and woke up with stomach growling. That's unusual for me.
7/10...176...cinnamon bench!!!! On the bright side, my pants are not as tight and I can feel some muscle building below the fat. 😄
7/11...175...love seeing this number drop, but happy it's not my only progress reference. Dropping inches, baby!!!!
7/12...175...my energy level is getting better. Step count is back up over 10k. Resting heart rate is down to 65. Baby steps!
7/13....175...Friday 13th!!! Time for some good old fashioned horror flicks! Weight is steady but my pants are getting looser. I'm enjoying jogging on the rebounder while it's still hot out, but looking forward to hitting the trails in a few months. I figure I ought to be in good enough shape by then.
7/14...176...meh.
7/15...177...😩
7/16...176... so frustrating. I'm tracking every dadgum thing that goes into my mouth. I'm exercising. It's irritating that I am working my butt off only to remain a jiggly blob. Hubby swears he sees a difference but I measured today and no changes there. Just the dang scale.3 -
