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.

It’s my first time doing this and I have to say having the support of this community along with keeping myself honest with check-ins and food tracking has helped a great deal.
Yes. It helps to see that people always struggle, and I am no different. Whether it is five pounds, fifty, or one-fifty. It has really helped me stay the course because a calorie deficit always wins in the end.7 -

SheilaBoneham wrote: »PROTEIN! (I can't find all the earlier posts about protein bars, etc., so I'm shouting instead of tagging....)
Anyway, I thought I'd comment on protein sources based on my 3.5 year journey, 70+ pounds lost and many lessons learned.... This might be useful for some of you looking for protein sources.
Protein bars - I have used them, and for a year or so I depended on them heavily to get my protein in -- Quest Bars
were my favorites because of high protein content and variety of flavors. But I finally realized that many of my digestive issues (read: panic!) were linked to the bars, even one a day. So I looked around for other good protein....
Let me say that I have no problem hitting my macro goals on average (I don't worry on a daily basis but look at a 7-day average). We all set different goals, but mine are P 15-25%, C 35-55%, F 25-35%. I have many meatless days, so allow for the extra carbs when my proteins are plant based (usually whole grains + beans or lentils).
Here are some of my favorite real-food protein sources....- - liquid egg white - 7 grams protein in 1/4 cup: I use them in a variety of ways but 3 favorites are -- 1/4-1/3 c. in my overnght muesli breakfasts, cooked as omelette or scrambled eggs (w/veggies & cheese), microwaved in bowl (1 min, add 1 oz good full fat cheese, 1 more min -- yum!).
- - Lifeway plain low-fat kefir - 3 gr per 1/4 cup: I use this in my overnight muesli instead of mixing yogurt + milk. I love the slight tang and the consistency. I also sometimes have berries in kefir - delish! (Stay away from the flavored kefirs - sugar city!)
- - canned wild salmon and tuna -- 6-7 gr protein per ounce. I prefer Wild Planet brand -- wild-caught salmon and skipjack tuna (which has less mercury than albacore). (Lots of info on their website about nutrition, fish quality, and sustainable fishing.) I usually eat a full can of skipjack (5 oz.) on a salad or mixed with guacomole + veggies + sometimes cooked egg white, or half a can of salmon the same way. Many ways to use these!
- - chicken breast -- 5 gr protein per ounce raw. My go-to recipe is to cook breasts in pan in a little olive oil & low-sodium soy sauce + quartered or chopped onions. I make extra to have the next day on salad. But obviously there are many ways to prepare chicken.
- - black beans - 7 gr protein per half cup. I use them everywhere! I buy canned, rinse them thoroughly in a colander to remove sodium and gunk, and store in fridge. I put them on salads, in "Buddha bowls" or brown rice or other whole grains, or just mix with half a cup of brown rice with raw veggies + salsa + sometimes guacamole or avocado. Hot or cold - very satisfying!
- - chick peas - 7 gr proetin per half cup - see brown rice above for uses
Also, it pays to check protein content of grains, veggies, milk products, etc. Many have more protein than you might imagine. Green peas, for instance, have 4 gr protein per half cup. Cheddar cheese has 7 grams protein per ounce. I always look at the whole picture for each food -- not just the protein, but also the carbs, ADDED sugars (I don't worry about natural sugars in milk products, for instance), fiber, fat....
OK, maybe TMI, but maybe of use to some of you. And now I am hungry!!!
I will add, though, that after 3+ years of avoiding most junk food, including all my old binge friends (nacho chips, candy bars - you know), I don't even want them for the most part, and when I do, a little bit does the trick. I walk a lot and often come home hungry, but instead of craving junk, I usually am either simply hungry (an ounce of cheese or a piece of fruit work), or I'm craving something healthful (and often when I check my MFP diary it turns out that what I'm craving is the macro I'm short on for the day - go figure!). So sticking to the plan pays off in many ways in my experience. And yeah, once in a while I blow it!
Thank you for this. I wasn't even discussing the protein bars, and I plan to incorporate these into my plan.4 -
ROUND 5 FOR ME - Female 58 yrs old 5’ 5” Midwest USA 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 183.0 or less
3. No Bingeing
4. No “cheat days” only “Earn days”. No “Earn Days” only “Earn Meals” which are much easier to bounce back from.
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.
My Stats:
R43 SW 193.8 EW 195.6 +1.8 lbs Gain
R44 SW 195.6 EW 192.4 - 3.2 lbs Loss
R45 SW 192.4 EW 191.4 - 1.0 lbs Loss
R46 SW 191.4 EW = 186.0 - 4.4 lbs Loss
R47 SW 186.0 EW = TBD
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!
7/24 186.7 Almost back to challenge starting weight (186.0) This round has been just a battle to do that! Yesterday 10,733 steps. 23 Net Carbs, 1222 Total Calories in / 2533 Calories out. Walked 4.54 total miles including a planned 1.5 neighborhood walk. Added some light weight training with 2 lb weights in the evening. I did 12/13 of the 250 fitbit step hours. Diet was good. Hit much closer on my fat and protein macros. Before meal blood glucose reading was 121. My son Johnny did a weekly weigh-in yesterday at 287.8. Total he’s lost since May 1, 2018 is 20.6 lbs. I’m so proud of him. I do keto to help control blood sugars while losing weight, my son does CICO due to his severe eating / sensory disorders. He’s doing fantastic and I’m so proud of him! ONWARD WE MARCH.
7/25 188.4 Out of town Dairy Queen. Only 2 hrs sleep night before. Horrible Stats 297 net carbs. 2593 Calories In / 2138 calories out. 5,364 steps (in the car a lot with no exercise). Hit 8/13 of 250 fitbit step hours. 2.27 total miles in general work / walking. Plus side: Look at how honest I am being with myself and others. I will start and egg fast today to drop some weight before it “settles in”. I will do this even with my daughters’ expected visit today.

1988 high school graduation 185-190lbs
weight on 1/29/18 = 234.5
Round 47 - goal – loose some of the weight I have gained at parties and entertaining. Skip maintenance and truly put in effort this round. Its just 10 days, right?
7/16 weight 194lbs
7/17 – 192lbs – 2-pound loss is probably just an empty stomach.
7/18 – 194lbs – 2 pounds up - ate good yesterday. Guess this is just what happens when you weigh yourself all the time. I saw it coming last night when I weighed 198 before bed.
7/19 – 192lbs – kinda a good day yesterday. Had Chinese buffet for lunch and almost no dinner. Felt no hunger.
7/20 – whoops
7/21 – openhouse with awesome pasta bar. To go along with homebrew. Had so much food and adult beverages.
7/22 – working long and hard today. ate breakfast with wife, had 4 hot dogs, big filet of smoked lake trout, and had my homemade bbq ribs for dinner.
7/23 – 192lbs – considering the food choices this weekend I am very happy to maintain this weight. Had lots of people asking how and what I did to lose weight so quickly. I wasn’t allowed to answer because My wife says it was too fast and I shouldn’t tell people. Still I loved the comments and seeing the look on peoples faces. I still say maintenance is harder for me then losing weight.
7/24 – 193lbs – ate kinda good yesterday. Super low cal all day long to be ready for the food at the fair. Red neck fries were awesome. I think the jar of pickles for lunch is why I am up slightly.
7/25 – 193lbs – as usual Tuesday night fishing league was a high calorie night. Beer, pizza, smoked fish, crackers, and a submarine sandwich. And now my favorite fast food joint is running a special. I don’t think I want to resist LOL. I will pick back up tomorrow on my limited choice diet.

This time I'm feeling more energized than ever and wanting to continue doing what I've been doing because its not punishing work its just my life now!
@AJB1014, I think this is the key for me. I'm not punishing myself. I'm living my life in a sustainable way, with ups and downs. I'm nearing 30 pounds lost, not at any sort of rapid clip, but without really ever feeling that I'm doing something hard. I can't guarantee I'll never lose this mindset, but it's served me really well for almost 8 months.
Yes, exactly! So glad we have found what works for us! My grandma always told me, "If it doesn't work one way, try another!"3 -

Lol, you caught that. Actually, the original post is correct, 190.2. This 199.2 happened when I was replacing some of the text, touched the 9 instead of zero and the app froze before I could correct it.3 -
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.

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’m 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.
7/24, Tuesday – 160.6 Crazy day yesterday – started late and was running behind all day. Did finally find some better shoes for wearing at the gym and got some basics in the freezer.
7/25, Wednesday – 160.8

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.
7/24 151.5 I cleaned up my food and lowered my carbs a bit. Also starting adding body weight exercises in ever so slowly. The most difficult part for me will be to go super slow and not reinjure myself.
7/25 151 Today is day 2 of building back some muscle, yippie! It is only ten minutes of easy work but I was still mildly stiff from day 1 so I think it is enough for now. Weird to be excited about a bit of body weight strength training but it feels so good to be moving in a healthy direction.
7/26
Enjoy the day. Do something kind for yourself and others!10 -
Thank you for the post about protein @SheilaBoneham ! I will also extend this to everyone, a big Thank You for sharing your challenges and successes, it really does help to know so many of us have the same ones. Much Love going out to all of you!!! 11

Sounds great to me! I am in the same recovering from injuries boat. I haven't documented any exercise that I manage to do. It's still too intermittent and I'm afraid I'll push myself to try to exercise like I'm accustomed to doing. Pulled some weeds this morning, that's pretty much all I have growing this year. It's a good bonus workout for upper body, waist and abs though.

GW: 135
Day/Weight/Comment
7/17...176...trudging along. Looking forward to a drop in the weight eventually.
7/18...177...😒. Still staying within my means and exercising daily. It's been crazy hot and our ac hasn't been able to keep up so sleeping has been a little difficult. I'm groping around for excuses, it seems. I don't know. I know it'll catch up, but it sure is frustrating when nothing seems to be changing.
7/19...177...it's been crazy hot. Ac is getting fixed today- yay! stayed below my calorie intake yesterday, just barely- but had a shot of whiskey in a little Dr Pepper at the end of the day- a very rare occurrence. Tend to avoid glutinous foods because they give me gut pain but had some last Friday. Wondering if some of this sudden weight gain is inflammation from that.
7/20...174... hmmm. Love the drop but feeling a little skeptical.
7/21...175... hubby is right, it's like that clickery wheel on the price is right- never know where it's going to land. 🙄
7/22...177...WHAT?!?!?
7/23...177...
7/24...174...curious to see what it says tomorrow 😂😂😂
7/25...174...I'll whisper this so the 177 doesn't freak out and come back: "yay! Two days at 174!"

Day/Weight/Comment
7/17 210.6 Was disappointed. Hoping to go down had really watched what I had ate. Had a late supper because I had worked late, maybe…. Tomorrow is a new day. Need to drink water and watch what I eat.
7/18 210.4 at least in the right direction. If only I didn’t LNE last night. Urggg.
7/19 209.3 That was a great start to my day!!!!
7/20 207.8 Yes! Yes! Amazing! What a shock. No LNE last night! This could motivate me to stop eating so late and so obsessively
7/21 206.7 I don’t feel this is deserved (but I will take it) my inactivity yesterday is bound to show up some day.
7/22 206.1 Yeah!
7/23 207.2 Not surprising. Happy Monday

R1: Lost 1.7 (SW 196.8)
R2: Lost 0.7 (SW 195.1)
SW: 198.1
GW: 192.0 (Steep but I'm going to be losing water weight since I hadn't been watching my diet the past week or so.)
7/17 198.1 I didn't finish the last round. I was upset because I had gained weight and when I do gain weight I just go through a time where I just don't care about what I'm eating. I REALLY want to fix this and be more flexible and just because I have one bad day doesn't mean I should sabotage the rest of my days. On top of that my relatives had come over making it even harder to watch what I ate. So here's to getting back at it.
7/18
7/19- 196.6 thank god the 198 was just a fluctuation. I'm going to try to make sure I don't fluctuate anymore. I did an 18 hour fast today which I broke a little bit ago. I feel pretty full right now so I'm planning on this one big meal to be it for the rest of the day which I think is doable. I'm going to be really consistent the next few days and make sure to stay motivated. I'm going to meal prep and everything.
7/20- 196.7 I accidentally weighed myself AFTER I ate lol so I'd like to think that this number would be lower otherwise. But we'll see tomorrow. I worked out yesterday and again today so I'm happy about that. I've been increasing the amount of running I do (at 6.5 mph) by 10 second increments every time I go for a run. I'm at 3 minutes and 30 seconds of running currently and started at 3 minutes. I know it's not much but baby steps. I believe this is the right way to go about it. Maybe by the end of the challenge I can get to 4 minutes straight of running?
7/21- 194.7 (told you so about the water weight lol) So I worked out yesterday. I can't go to the gym today so no running until Monday
but I'm going to try to do my mat exercises at night. I'll let you know how that goes. Already drank a half liter of water. Haven't had a proper breakfast. Going to go ahead and do that right now. I'm going to be under my calorie deficit today hopefully as well so that I can continue the downward trend. Really happy about this number. It motivates me to continue.
7/22 194.7 Was above my calorie limit yesterday. Won't be today. Couldn't get to my mat exercises either. Maybe tonight.
7/23 194.6. I was under my calorie goal so I'm not sure why I didn't lose a bit more. I have hope for tomorrow though. I ate light today and will be going to the gym soon.
7/24- 195.2
7/25- 194.7- I thought I ate a too much so I'm fine with this. I ate something that I wasn't able to actually know how many calories there was in it. So I'm happy I didn't gain instead.

About me: 61, 5'7", in maintenance 125-129 since March this year. Serial loser and regainer of 20 and determined not to slide back up this time.
Round 46 report: Not a bad round, some faith-building workouts including more running, and 10-day average weight hits a new low though ending weight was at round's maximum, 127.6
Round 47 GOAL = Maintain weight, get some nice workouts in.
7/17 - 126.4 - yesterday under maintenance calories, got 40 minutes on the elliptical. I prefer the Cybex arctrainers because I can set the resistance low, let go the handles and just run on them. It's a sweatdripper!
7/18 - 125.8 - yesterday a smidge above maintenance calories, 13K steps just messing round (no workout). Slept badly last night and took migraine meds in the early AM, feeling better now but very aware that with a new stress source at work and a poor night's sleep, this could be a day of weak will.
Thinking how I can plan for that and have it feel like I am nurturing myself, not "depriving" myself. Will report tomorrow!
7/19 - 126.0 - Yesterday under maintenance calories and got 10K steps. Holding my own.
7/20 - 125.6 - Yesterday under maintenance calories and got 10K steps. It was a copy and paste day LOL
7/21 - 126.2 - under maintenance calories, ran 3 miles on treadmill, 12K steps total, and I am fighting hard for 23rd on my employer's "10K a Day" leaderboard ... hence all the completed days lately, I just realized I get a bonus every time I hit goal... I tend to value "hard cardio" over just "staying active" so this is kind of new. Taking walks on breaks with a friend at work, that's been nice.
7/22 - 126.6 - yesterday headachy and kindof meh, at least it was a Saturday. Did a lot of cooking. Did get 10K steps, but didn't log the end of my day.
7/23 -127.8 - WAAAY over maintenance yesterday, and didn't log, and didn't workout or get steps in and this was unplanned. Did a big canning project and felt unexpectedly wiped out afterwards.
I am going to go back and log when I get a chance, not to guilt myself, but for information. The old habit of guilting myself over food behavior is so strong, and so so counterproductive.
7/24 -126.0 - Yesterday under maintenance calories, 3 miles run and 2 walked, 17K steps. Did not sleep well at all. Normally not a workout day due to social activities, will see how it goes.
7/25 - 126.2 - Yesterday super overtired, 6K steps was all and a bit over calories. 9 hours sleep though - special!

Very crazy. I’m sure it will bounce around, but I’m happy. I guess my body’s making up for the plateau-ishness of the past few rounds! No complaints. Inches coming down, too. Usually I get wt loss or inches. This is such a mental game: once I really felt comfortable losing more (worries about skin), I did - and my skin is actually looking better.

I understand the fear of getting carried awaywith the exercise. I find it very difficult to start sooooo slowly. Pushing to hard to soon is what I did wrong before which forced my into a very long rest. Weed pulling is hard work.4 -

I am in, but what a challenge this has been recently. I am not using my tools to do the right thing. I have an injury that is preventing me from really exercising like I am used to.

You're welcome! You did the work! Yes, BMI started to take quite a bashing many years ago as not being valid. It is a good tool to use besides the scale. I still like to use it.4 -

Feeling quite frustrated with these bumps, I need to just dig deep, stick with it and wait for the scales to start behaving again! - Looking for a downward trend to see out this round now! Really focused on my logging and on clean eating - which is what i love - it gives me ENERGY!
I am SO SO determined!! I 100% NEED to stay mindful about my daily logging and being mindful about what I eat and drink. I need to get into the HEALTHY BMI band.
This is a long term thing, a few bad days or weeks is something I'm getting better at coping with.

*At the completion of Round 47 I have now lost 50 lbs since my HSW and I have lost 30 lbs since starting the Just give me ten days challenges! This is a major boost since I have been finding all the stalls and sometimes days or weeks of not moving mentally challenging. I have learned that these are my biggest triggers to making poor food choices (which is ironic, right?)
WOOP! WTG! @eminater I know that reaching that 50 lb mark is an awesome feeling.7
