JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 71

31th Round for me: Female 66, height 5’
Goal this round, starting March 14: Still want to get out of the 160’s but this time I should be able to do it. I was much better on logging and watching cals. last round and only slightly better on getting in movement on my non-gym days. So my goals for this round are to keep up with the logging and add more movement and get into an earlier bedtime/rise schedule. That will take a little work since we’ve just gone through time change but worth it as I get so much more done that way.
Round 71 – SW 160.8
Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 – 160.6
03/15 – 161.8 – Was only slightly over on calories yesterday, although not the best choices and a little salty. My nose has started running since I got up and feeling a bit draggy so may also be water weight. Debating on going to the gym … maybe will opt for making soup instead … keep the calories down and liquids up.
03/16 – 160.8 – Well, I didn’t go to the gym and I did make soup, drank lots of liquids AND ate lots of calories – although still only slightly over maintenance. Not feeling too bad, just very stuffed up in the sinuses and also ears a bit. Still glad that I don’t have to go anywhere.

# 7 for me
GW end of round – 372
GW 299 – End of 2019 (6.2)

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 378.4 (-0.4) – My goal this round is to focus, focus, focus! No more red rounds! My goal is to lose 4 to 6 pounds per round. If I don't lose that much no worries – I am not beating myself up. But I am determined not to have any more red rounds! I can do that at least! So to help me do that, I reset my ticker yesterday to my 2019 start weight, which I am over by 5.4 pounds. I have really been struggling but I am going to try to come out of this slump because life is just not getting any easier as we struggle in these trying times. My goal this year is lose 50 to 75 pounds and to do that I am really going to have to buckle down. My ticker is set for 75 but I will gladly take 50 plus in a heartbeat and nothing less than that for sure. I think having something already on the ticker is not helping me so I am trying something new. I have to keep trying and trying until I get it right!
My Dad is doing pretty good considering he is in hospice in a nursing home. In February it has been over year. Life goes on, so I have to find a way to make me a priority also. Baby steps
I am also working on increasing my sleeping hrs per night. I am happy to say this week I have slept 3 days since Monday over 7 hrs! I have not slept 7 hrs 3 nights in a week in a loooong time, so I am proud of that and I am going to try to keep it going because this helps me for sure.
I am really going to try to check in here more often too. That too will help me because I will be more mindful. I will read something to inspire, etc. The rounds I lost -- I checked in more also. Even if I don't have time to comment every day, I want to log my weight at least.
03/15 378.4 (-0.0) – Went over my points but did my exercise and got my 7000 steps. Short on sleep but feeling great and back on it today. Pre-planning for weekend so I can maintain or even lose a pound or more. We will see. I usually make my goal for weekend to maintain or not to gain. If I do that I am doing good. Past weekends I have blown my whole week on the weekend. Now I can maintain and even lose. I may go up one day and come right back down the next because I try not to have 2 or 3 bad days if you include Friday.
03/16 374.8 (-3.6) - yesterday I resisted fast food after visiting my Dad in nursing home. Came home, had some eggs and grits. I also decided this morning to switch WW plans. I going to online only which will save me $25 a month since I am not going to meetings anyway but I love their points program. Right now the meetings are not in the plan for me and I rather use God, family, MFP and my therapist who I see Tuesday for my support system for now. That is my new plan for now. Giving up is not an option for me!

@LolaLaylola I’m interested in seeing how your 5:2 diet goes.

@kmfeig87 Trina, congrats on getting back to your WWLT goal! Mine is 126 from 1986 and I’m so close. If I could get rid of all the loose skin I would be there! LOL


**TIP To you younger “players” - lose while you’re younger and your skin is more resilient!

@MadisonMolly2017 and @deepwoodslady I saw a recipe for Greek Mac and Cheese on the MFP feed this morning. If you change the 2 oz of mac to 1 c of cauliflower, you lose 38g of carb and 175 calories per serving and then it’s LCHF. I might change the amount of cheese they used to make it cheesier but that’s me!

I empathize with the loose skin problem, losing my weight in the mid to latter half of my fifties means that I have copius amounts of loose skin too. Luckily, it is hidden beneath my clothes, but in the summer lighter clothes and less of them means that is harder to keep it hidden!!! Toning exercises do not shift it as is due to the absence of elasticity and I'm not about to voluntarily go under the knife. Still, I'm happier with loose skin than fat !!!! x

OSW 199 (June 15 2018)
Female, 5' 4 1/2 " age 53

Hi. My name is Trina. This is my eighteenth round. I mostly missed the last two rounds due to travel and appendicitis recovery. I'm back in the swing now, and ready to start logging my food again. I'd been really consistent on the food log since June, but didn't log while I traveled (did IF to keep calories in check), didn't bother logging while recovering from appendicitis because I had no appetite and my calories were to low to share . And then didn't log another week because my sister was here. This week I am running out of excuses, so I am getting back into the habit! Happy to say that I have met my original goal weight set in June and am just barely in the normal BMI range. I was not at all convinced I could do it when I started and expected it to take much longer! I have reset my goal weight to 135, to be more solidly in normal BMI, and am trying to remind myself that I should expect those last 10 pounds to be slow... Hope everyone has a great round!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 142.5 Today was apparently a whoosh day, and yesterday was high. Would love to still be here (or even 142) in 10 days!
03/15 141.5 Surprised, but weighed a couple of times. My weight always bumps around! Skipped the gym today and just went for a walk. My abs are not quite back up to speed and I felt like I should probably give them a break. As another note. Today is an 11 year low weight. I haven't weighed this since I achieved weight watchers lifetime status in March, 2008. I think it took me 9 months to lose from 150 down to 142 and I did not manage to stick at that weight at all. This time it probably only took a month and a half and I feel much healthier, better, stronger (and not nearly as hungry!

03/16 142 Skipped the gym yesterday to give my sore intestines a break! Went for a 3 mile hilly walk and did 50 flights of steps at home. All in all met my 12,000 step goal with 100 flights of stairs per my fitbit.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14: 197.8 (Yay for a new challenge! I weighed in heavier than yesterdays weight (197.4), but it has to do with my increased exercise last night which was 45 minutes on the elliptical sweating buckets. I had a small cheese quesadilla last night with chips and salsa for dinner. My official weigh in is on Friday's, so I'm excited to see what my results are tomorrow. Oh by the way, my weight today is the lowest I have weighed since September of 2015!! I almost cried.)

03/15: 197.8 (Same weight as yesterday, but that's okay! My official weigh in day is on Friday's and from last Friday I have lost 1.6 pounds. That makes me very happy! I did an upper body strength training workout and I'm a little sore. I had baked fries and homemade Philly cheesesteaks last night which were awesome!

03/16: 197.6 ( A little bit of a drop! I did no workout last night and had a nice big burrito for dinner haha. I can’t workout til tomorrow since I just got my first laser hair removal session today. I’ll be doing an hour workout tomorrow evening to offset today. Have a nice weekend!)

Day/Weight/Comment

3/14 - 171.2 - 20g carbs, 15g net carbs. Carbs were: steamables golden potatoes (6.5gcarb), salad, deli smoked turkey, manzanilla olives, cucumber ranch dressing, au jus sauce. Okay, my weight has settled here for today. Probably that tiny potato 😂 Dinner was 2 hours later than I planned, due to this HUGE chuck roast I was cooking. It took 2+ hrs in the pressure cooker! with a couple of stops and starts to check it during the process. Should have put the 2nd weight on the pot.
3/15 - 172.2 - 32g carbs, 26g net carbs. Carbs were: salad, olives, dill pickle, grape tomatoes, jalapenos, peanut butter, almonds, walnuts, deli smoked turkey. A little fluid retention..... from exercise, not carbs! Knee is behaving, so back to strengthing quads and hams. Taking it low and slow, but consistently. I'm dealing with old shoulder injuries too, so must not be impatient with myself trying to do sets, reps and long workouts like I used to do.

3/16 - 173 - Normal fluctuation. 35g carbs, 27g net carbs. Carbs were: Strawberries, salad, peanut butter, celery, carrot, apple in chicken salad, cranberry cheddar, spaghetti squash, au jus sauce. Did not take vitamins 2 days, Th, F.

03/14: 195.6 - I missed logging yesterday, but I’m glad to see my weight is the same as 3/12. Eating is going well and I want to add more exercise, but finding the time is the challenge!
03/15: 196.6 - Eating is still good, but I sat A LOT yesterday. Must move more today!
03/16: 198.6 - Walked 2 miles around the lake in my neighborhood yesterday, the dogs and my youngest appreciated that! Food was good, too, hopefully this is a one-day number?!
