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.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/17 - Weight = 159.0 (down .6 from yesterday) I'm *hopefully* solidly under 160 after 3 days of weighing under that. 1st milestone achieved! Very happy to get to this number, this is the lowest I've weighed this year, haven't been this weight since December of last year. Yesterday was super hot and humid and my day 29 exercise challenge was power yoga which was really like a hot yoga with the buckets of sweat that fell off me. Today I compete my 30 day challenge with a full body Tabata style workout. Looking forward to the next 10 days, this is the best challenge on mfp!
07/18 - Weight = 158.1 (down .9 from yesterday) I had Subway for lunch yesterday - UGH! I haven't had any type of fast food in over 30 days and wow did I feel awful after it. I limit gluten most days, because I just feel better when I do that, but add in processed gluten like Subway's bread and I was so nauseous I didn't eat anything else really the rest of the day because of how I felt, so super low calories day which isn't great. Exercise wise, the day was AWESOME!!! I completed day 30 of the 30 day challenge I was doing and it was a super intense Total Body Tabata workout: Star Jumps, Reverse Table Top Dips, Skater Twists, Supermans, Reverse Burpees, & Pike Push-Ups. I'm crazy pound of myself for completing this and the changes from it I can really see and more importantly feel, like how much stronger I am now compared to where I started. I've given myself 2 days "off" to have a little break and decide which program I am doing next, still trying to decide between another 30 day or the 90 day. I was fairly certain yesterday about going with the 30 but this morning I feel more like the 90 day program is in the lead.
07/19 - Weight = 157.8 (down .3 from yesterday) I'm tired! Did not get to bed until a little after 3 a.m. last night and up at little before 8 this morning. Sleep is so important, obviously for many reasons - but it really plays a part in hunger. I'm so hungry this morning and I do IF 16:8 so I don't eat until 10:30/11:00 a.m., which normally is no issue at all but today I'm counting down the minutes. Yes, I know I could just go ahead and eat earlier but this is my plan and I stick to it when possible and today it is possible...I'm just cranky from no sleep. I'm on the 2nd of my planned 2 day rests from exercise and I'm ready to get back at it tomorrow, might just start today if I can stay awake
07/20 - Weight = 160.7 (up 2.9 from yesterday) I'm not the slightest bit upset by this number, I know I did not gain 2.9 lbs overnight. I made a conscious, planned decision to have a dinner last night that put me over my calories for the day for the 1st time since I recommitted to my weight loss on 6/18. I didn't "cheat", these weren't "bad" foods, I wasn't "naughty", this is called life. I am focused on living a healthy life and know that part of that is moderation in everything so that this is sustainable for the long haul and sometimes that means being okay with making choices that are not part of my normal routine. As of today, my 2 exercise rest days are over and I am starting my new exercise plan today and I'm pretty excited about it. This one is a 90 day program compared to the 30 day I just finished. These are still all body weight exercises, but compared to the last program which was a new workout each day, in this one there are workouts that get repeated. I think I had such great results on the last one because my muscles got a new challenge each day but I think in this one I will be able to gauge my strength building better as I see how my ability to do certain moves changes over time. Have a great day everyone!
07/21 - Weight = 159.6 (down 1.1 from yesterday) Weight coming back down after the bump up from Thursday's dinner. I completed day 1 of 90 of my exercise challenge which was 3 sets of Body Squats, Push Ups, Stationary Lunges, Flowing Down Dog, Alternating Front Kick, Static V Sit, Fore Arm Plank and then got in a little extra calorie burn jumping at the trampoline park with my daughter and her friend. I was way too busy yesterday and my nutrition suffered from it. I left the house at 4:30 and wasn't back until after 9 so didn't get a real dinner. Was super hungry this morning so not doing IF today, nice solid breakfast in and feel much better and ready to get a great day in!
07/22 - Weight = 159.4 (down .2 from yesterday) Still working to get back down to Thursday's weight, was under calories yesterday but my sodium was a bit too high. My nutrition has not been on point this past week, so taking the time today to menu plan before shopping and then going to do a big meal prep later today for the upcoming week. Day 2 of 9 on my exercise challenge was a rest day but I'm just coming off 2 rest days so I took an active day. Went for a run in great weather, 84 degrees with a nice breeze, came back and did some much needed yoga stretches and then ended up doing a good Tabata workout later in the day. Only 4 more weigh-ins in this challenge, reaching my goal of the 157's might not be possible but I'm going to finish really strong!
07/23 - Weight = 159.2 (down .2 from yesterday) The scale is slowly inching back down. I had a great exercise day yesterday, went for a run, yoga stretches, and my day 3 of 90 challenge: Air Jump Rope, Tall Planks, Burpees, Cross Cross Squat, Crescent Kick Right, Crescent Kick Left, Jumping Jacks, Push-Ups. Nutrition wise I made good choices but did not eat enough, my calories were too low as I felt stuffed all day and not hungry. I got my meal prep in yesterday and will be focusing mainly on my nutrition this upcoming week. I feel like my exercise is under control but my nutrition not so much. I also looked back through my food diary and saw that I had alcohol 4 times last week, 2 nights only 1 glass, but still over where I want to be. So that is a focus also this week, alcohol only twice this week. I have a club meeting tomorrow evening, so I know I'll have a glass of wine there and will have to be extra diligent in the food choices I make, as everyone is bringing an appetizer. Today's goal: plan a healthy but super delicious app to take. On the super positive side...I took a selfie yesterday and didn't hate it. Since I gained weight, I have avoided pictures like the plague but I am trying to be kinder to myself during this weight loss journey and each week take a selfie to try and be okay with how I look along the way. Yesterday was the 1st day I achieved that goal, feels good!

Thanks for the suggestion. My family and friends support my efforts, but not for THEIR event. Surely I can make an exception? Just for this event.
People, it is SUMMERTIME. EVERYONE is having an EVENT. I could eat a quarter cup of your "item" but I cannot control how much salt you used in this dish!6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
7/17 187.6 From one dish of vanilla icecream? Yikes….. Will likely get worse tomorrow. Today is a business luncheon at the pizza buffet. My diet will be off but I will make this my “earn meal” and do good in the evening. Good luck everyone on this new challenge! My son’s weight yesterday 288.2. He was down 4 more pounds. Fantastic!
7/18 189.6 Wait a minute! I did not eat 2 whole pounds of food at the pizza buffet yesterday! But I did eat 4 small pieces and some water. Also, some sweet snacks at the late night binge. I guess I deserve this giant leap up. I walked over 12,000 steps yesterday including my brisk 1.5 mile neighborhood walk. I intermittent fasted 14:10 due to the luncheon being earlier than I usually begin eating. Lots of fluids. I did a few things right anyway. Today I will stay focused and not get derailed!
7/19 188.2 Yesterday I ate 18 net carbs. 1456 calories . Lots of healthy fats. A little low on protein. 66 oz. of water. No planned exercise but over 10,000 steps on the fitbit. Working my way back down to my starting point of 186.0 then reaching desperately for 183.0. Hope everyone has a good day!
7/20 189.2 last minute night out last night with friends. 1 large beef and bean burrito led to an all night binge. Totally out of control. Ate everything in sight and could not seem to get full or satisfied. This is how it happens if I veer off my diet, even just for a minute. This shows that I still do not have control over my eating habits when presented with foods outside of my home or other completely controlled environments. I have a lot to learn and a long way to go. Hanging my head in frustration, guilt and shame. Good points: 11,713 steps yesterday. My brisk 1.5 mile neighborhood walk.
7/21 188.4 Yesterday 13,746 steps. 13/13 (250 step hours) on fitbit. Rained all day, no neighborhood walk. 963 calories in (a bit too low) 2720 calories out. 23 net carbs . Still feeling sluggish after all the bingeing junk I ate on Thursday. Expecting thunderstorms all day today. Thanks to all for the encouraging words yesterday. The support here on MFP makes a world of difference!
7/22 187.6. Low steps yesterday at 6,275. Hit 13/13 (250 step hours) on fitbit. Thunderstorms so no walk. Ate 24 net carbs and 1454 calories including delicious homemade Keto Holista Pizza. My blood sugar before my dinner was 105 (much better than the consistent over 500 I used to get!). And this improvement is after my 4 glyburide was removed by my doctor. Only metformin now but still at a large dose, so I continue to work on this and hope any continued weight loss will help put me in remission from this type 2 diabetes. I started in January with the goal of losing 90 pounds. I have 42.2 pounds to go so I am over halfway there. Overall, yesterday was a success. 2 have 2 new goals: 1. Learn how to hold my stomach in again which would help work my muscles. With a large diabetic belly I have not been able to do this in over 10 years. Now my stomach is small enough but it hurts like exercise, so I persist until it can be second nature again. Goal 2: to be able to cross my legs again. I am almost there! Have a good day everyone!
7/23 187.0 14,495 steps. Hit 13/13 (250 step hours) on fitbit. Ate 23 net carbs, 998 calories in / 2942 calories out. Lots of extra veggies today which got me to my carbs fast. A little low on calories, fats and protein due to less meat today. Lots of physical work today (total miles 6.47) but no planned exercise after…..too tired. I still cannot reach 6 hours of sleep. Body is just done at 4 to 5.5 hours most nights. Practiced holding in my stomach and realized I was not breathing when trying. So I will continue to practice what used to be natural. I am happy that I am even able to begin attempting to relearn with my stomach now a bit smaller. Yet it is my stomach still that holds me back from being both thinner and healthier. I worked on crossing my legs a few times. I can do it without it looking like I’m sitting Indian Style and so that it looks more like a lady (like it should) but it is very pinching and uncomfortable. The legs don’t fit together well so I think it is still a bit off. So I continue to fight all my battles big and small!

Information is key. Actual data trumps how you think you did, or how you feel about it.5 -
Just received some very heartbreaking news. One of the little girls that was at my Granddaughter's party on Saturday was killed this morning along with her Grandmother. They were out for a walk this morning, 7am, a drunk driver jumped the curb and killed them.

This much drop in a day must be a fluke. We shall see tomorrow. Don’t really see how it can be stable here, so expecting it to stabilize at this weight over the next few days. Worked out yesterday and ate within my goal. Did eat much cleaner and healthier yesterday with lots of water, to balance out Chinese takeout over the weekend. Think I need a day of full rest from workout but let’s see what happens today. Sleep hasn’t been the best, need to make a point to go to bed earlier.

7/19 - 116.2
Barely 5 hrs of interrupted sleep. Exhausted the entire day. Working out was a struggle, no surprise there. Ate within range.
7/20 - 116.4
Lack of sleep and sore from yesterday’s workout. May be water retention from muscle recovery. I’ll have to wait and see. Getting enough sleep needs to be a priority.

People, it is SUMMERTIME. EVERYONE is having an EVENT. I could eat a quarter cup of your "item" but I cannot control how much salt you used in this dish!
Yeah, I hear you. I sometimes eat a little before I go to a party so that I'm not ravenously hungry. Then steer clear of certain offerings and only take a tablespoon of what I do want to eat. That way when the host/hostess asks, "did you eat?" or "aren't you going to eat?" I can say yes, I did or I will. Love it when a tossed green salad is offered. I fill up on that.

Just starting back on MFP after a year and a half absence where I gained back everything I had lost, sheesh! So I am back to logging my food and happy I am. I am still recovering from an injury so exercise is somewhat limited at the moment to light walking, yoga and easy gardening. I miss those extra exercise calories. Looking forward to getting to know yoou all and sharing the journey to health and fitness.
Starting weight 152 first time around, this time 155
Goal weight 140
7/17 154
7/18 153.5
7/19 152 in that first week so I know this is water weight but still it feels good to see the scale go down instead of up.
7/20 151.5
7/21 152 dinner which was yummy but tricky counting calories.
7/22 152 aftenoon brunch today at my favorite gf restaurant so I am preplanning for a light late meal to compensate.
7/23 152.5 The weekend meals out were lots of fun so it is not a surprise I am up a pound😕 but I am back on track this morning.

So sad and a timely reminder to be grateful for each day ((hugs))

In again. I don’t like the trend I see – going backwards! But I do like that, thanks to this challenge, I can see what’s happening. The worst thing would be to throw in the towel.
7th Round for me: Female 65, height – 5’
Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, loss -.2
Round 40 – on holidays, gain +1.6
Round 41 – SW 164.4, loss -2
Round 42 - SW: 162.6, loss -.6
Round 43 – SW 162, loss -.4
Round 44 – SW 161.6, loss -1.6
Round 45 – SW 160.8, gain +1
Round 46 – SW 161.8, gain +.6
Round 47 – SW 162.4, GW 160
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128
Day/Weight/Comment
7/17, Tuesday – 162.4
7/18, Wednesday – 162 No gym today, instead going to do some of the digging old beds in the yard. Really want to get them all cleaned up this summer. Still going to get some gym days in but feeling good about the yard will help the overall mood = cut the snacking urges. Persistence pays off.
7/19, Thursday – 161.6 Rushed off to a mtg. last night so finished my supper very late. Conclusion this morning: late eating=poor sleep.
7/20, Friday – 161.4 No late eating … when I felt a craving just thought, “Do I want a good sleep tonight?”
7/21, Saturday – 161.4 Gym yesterday, crazy day for interruptions but did get some things done. When mindless surfing the other day I came across an article on how to get out of a lot of debt. (Why I read it I don’t know as we have no debt.) The thing that hit home with me was, “Start with your smallest debt and get rid of it so you can feel the accomplishment and have momentum to keep going.” I going to use that for my mile long job list today. Start with the little things that are bugging me but quick to do. How does that relate to food? If I feel overwhelmed, I eat – not good.
7/22 - Forgot in my rush to get out of the house early.
7/23, Monday – 160.8 Will happily take this number! Getting stuff done on the “list of things that are bugging me” may be working – yesterday was clean out the freezer so today can stock up on some groceries and do some food prep.

Round 47 - First time for me.
Female, 40, 5'-1"
SW 158.8
GW 120-130
Day/Weight/Comment
7/17 - 158.8 - I just found the challenge and didn't make the best choices earlier today for lunch. Time to move on and do better!
7/18 - 155 - Not a real loss from yesterday, just weighed in the morning and will continue to do that for the rest of the challenge. Finished strong yesterday with some time on the elliptical and then weights. It felt great! 12,042 steps yesterday and made it into bed by 11.
7/19 - 155 - Exercised, ate within my range, and hit nearly 15,000 steps yesterday. Had to choose between getting to bed by 11 or exercise yesterday, and think that getting the workout in was the right choice. Feeling good. Well, actually feeling motivated since I've been lifting weights in front of a big window that acts like a mirror at night (So that's how I look in exercise gear??). It's a little unpleasant and bewildering since the full-length mirror part of my day is normally kept to the bare minimum.
7/20 - 154 - With an active day (puppy's first visit to the huge dog park near our home) and exercise, I hit nearly 17,000 steps yesterday. Bought some new clothes. I wanted to wait until I'd dropped a few pounds, but, at this weight, I was really asking too much of the old ones. It's quite nice to be wearing pants that fit today where the buttons aren't just barely hanging on for dear life. Only ate when hungry and had a good day.
7/21 - 154 - 11,000 steps, a bike ride and in bed by 11 yesterday. Had a special dinner that wasn’t healthy, but it was delicious. Tracked it all, skipped dessert and opted for that bike ride instead.
7/22 - 154 - Missed getting this posted over the weekend. Just hit 10,000 steps, but didn't have the tracker on until 5 pm, so not too shabby. Another lovely bike ride with my son, plus we lifted weights together. So cute - although I'm not sure he'd buy into me calling him cute. I got an Olympic barbell as a gift, so adding that in with the dumbbells and having fun with that.
7/23 - 153 - Over 19,000 steps! I wasn't paying close attention when tracking my time on the elliptical Saturday and entered it after midnight so it showed up on Sunday. Man, was I tired after a day of house projects and yard work, but that elliptical session was already sitting there on my log, so I felt like I had to just do it! I pushed through and felt great this morning, although I was far from making my 11 pm bedtime goal.

- 63.7 pounds (I had no idea I had this much to lose.) I will reassess when I get to 163 lbs. My doctor says my frame is medium-large. I’m guessing I have ~10 pounds more to lose, but who knows? I’m just taking it slowly. Quite the adventure.
7/21 165.4* Trend wt: 165.0**!! Loss/wk: 0.7**
I was bummed, but expected, that there would be a bounce up, but this is why I LOVE weight Trend apps (Happy Scale-iPhone, Libra-Android). Even at this wt, I have lost 30 Pounds in 30 days AND my Trend wt is lower than actual weight. I felt instantly better. Lowest trend weight yet! #There’sAlwaysSomethingToCelebrate

@SheilaBoneham, I hope you feel better this week. Neck and back pain are so hard to work around.
Thank you, @puttyputty . I can't get in to the chiro until Wed, so I'm walking, stretching gently, and using heat. Helping a bit!2 -

@tiabirdie56
I am devastated by this news, and thinking of you & their family & all who knew them at this time.
I am sitting here both in tears and in anger. When will we, as a nation, as a world, end this horrendous, unnecessary loss of life, of loved ones, of innocents...?
Why are we not requiring breathalyzer ignitions in ALL vehicles? When will we wake up?
I will make another donation to MADD in honor of them today. Blessings to you.4 -

How awful, @tiabirdie56. I'm so sorry about this news. That's such an incredible tragedy. Life is so very short and unfair. Hugs to you and your granddaughter and obviously my best wishes to the family, who must be reeling.2
