69 years old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...

...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.

I am a 50 year old 5'5" woman. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.

I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. I have been participating in this challenge since Round 40.

Start Weight Feb 2018 - 202
Next Goal - 170 I will get there.
Ultimate Goal - 145-150

Round 70 - SW - 179.6 EW- 177.4 - average weight over 10 days - 178.1
Round 71 - SW - 175.4 EW - 178.2 Average weight over 10 days - 178.3
Round 72 - SW - 182.4 EW -180.2 Average weight over 10 days - 179.8
Round 73 - SW - 181.4 EW - 183.2 Average weight over 10 days - 181.3
Round 74 - SW - 181.4 EW - 180.4 - Average weight over 10 days - 181.4

April 23 - 179.4 - have had two good days in a row, need to keep it up for number 3.
Apr 24 - 179.2 - had another good day yesterday if I can just keep it up.
Apr 25 - 178.6 - I’m liking this trend and feeling determined to keep it up.
Apr 26 - 179.4 - Didn’t get a long walk in yesterday and had too much supper last night.

Hi I’m Karen.
USW-187 Sept. 2018
UGW-135
Goal this round-160

4/25- 164-I’m starting a bit late. I fell off the wagon at Easter then left town and ate bad. I cam back to take a quilting class the rest of the week and walked yesterday morning before I left, but sat all day and didn’t want to stop for lunch, so I ate chips when I got home and made dinner. Last night I made a salad to take today. I will walk 7 miles this morning before I leave and will hopefully be back on track!
4/26-163-I’ve been getting my walks in before my class. I’ve also been taking my lunch. It sure takes a while to get back to the lower number after eating bad for a couple of days. Not worth it. It’s Friday!!!!!!!!!

I’m glad you are all here!!!!😊☕️

quiltingjaine · April 2019

@deepwoodslady Donna, the shopping cart is the reason I started wearing my tracker on my ankle. An hour or 2 walking around Walmart or Sam’s Club and zero steps?? NO WAY!

@brandyme Try a short fast. Even intermittent fasting might help. Give yourself only a 6-8 hour window for meals. I’m not sure what plan you are following but even something as simple as cutting your carbs can make a huge difference. Just remember, you didn’t gain overnight and you won’t lose it all overnight.

Round four, back for more! I have another challenging round ahead of me. I'll be taking my high school students on their first multi-day trip right in the middle of this round and I'm also expecting my TOM at the same time. That means water retention and high sodium food choices for several days. I plan on being more diligent tracking my water, getting at least 10,000 steps everyday, and I'm aiming for a 1 lb weight loss to get myself back to where I was at the end of Round 73.

Female, 32 5'6''
OSW 191 lb
R72 SW 191.0 lb EW 188.4 lb
R73 SW 188.4 lb EW 184.6 lb
R74 SW 184.6 lb EW 185.6 lb
R75 SW 185.6 lb EW TBD
GW: 160 lb (I'll probably re-evaluate when I get there, but I remember being pretty comfortable at that weight)
Day/Weight/Comment
04/23 184.6 lb Yesterday was a great start to this round! I drank 45oz of water and 22oz of non-calorie drinks, walked 13,645 steps, and kept within my calorie goals. We even went to Red Robin for dinner and I got salmon instead of the usual burger and fries. It was tasty, if not a little too salty. More water planned for today as it's the boyfriend's night to provide dinner and it usually is not particularly healthy.
04/24 184.6 lb I walked 13,218 steps, drank 30oz of water and 34oz of non-calorie drinks and kept within my calorie goals again. I'm getting anxious about the high school trip. I expect it to go well; I've taught most of these students for the last five years and know them very well, but I keep thinking of the phrase, "One kid, one brain. Two kids, no brains." We have 23 kids going on this trip.

04/25 183.6 lb Yesterday I had 14,529 steps tracked, 30oz of water and came in under calorie goals in preparation for our band trip. We boarded the bus at 6:30 with no issues and are on our way to Philadelphia!
04/26 Travelling, no scale. I tracked 13,415 steps, drank about 30 oz of water, and went about 700 calories over, which isn't too bad for restaurant food all day. The students are behaving well and our day is packed with museum visits and musical experiences. They better sleep well tonight to be ready for our competition tomorrow.

🌸 Round 75 🌸 SW : 199.9 🌸 GW : 197.9 🌸

4/23 - 200.0 - Made good choices yesterday, but didn't get all my water in. Suspecting this is my body still recovering from all the junk over the weekend; just have to keep making good choices and hopefully see a drop

4/24 - 199.8 - Still waiting for that drop! Had a little extra sodium yesterday, so more water today

4/25 - 197.9 - There's that drop I was looking for!

Now to keep the trend going!
4/26 - 197.2 - Nice way to end the week

Will try to keep it under control this weekend

Round 74 -4.4 pounds 343.6-339.2

OSW 382
RSW 339.2

This round is going to be a little rough as tom should start somewhere during it. I’m hopeful of getting a bit more down before the weight bounce from it starts.

04/23 337.2 I’m surprised by this drop, especially since I was sure my sodium was high yesterday. But I guess it wasn’t as bad as I feared and I dropped water weight from the weekend. I’ll see what the next few days bring and not be surprised if I see a bounce up.

04/24. 338.2 Hey I’m getting good at predicting the bounces. To be fair this number seems closer to what I thought I should be, so I’m pretty happy with it.

04/25 338.2 I’m okay with this. Tom is creeping ever closer and last month my weight slowed and bounced around for several days before.

04/26 338 I’m surprised by a loss today, I usually have a gain after having Italian beef for dinner.

4/24 125.5 Almost back to HS weight. Not really trying to lose now but I need to build some muscle so will just see what happens and increase my workouts, as much as I hate them! I have been a couch potato for as long as I can remember. I am still losing fat so I guess this is okay.
4/25 125.0 My high school weight in 1966-67 Lunch with friends today
4/26 126.0 Had lunch at Carlito’s. I had the stuffed sopapilla with green chili. And I ate 1/4 of the dessert sopapilla with honey. It was all delicious and it was an experiment to see how those things would affect me. It was more carbs in one meal than I usually eat in a week! We’ll see what happens over the next couple of days.

To everyone who doesn’t understand why eating well yesterday didn’t make a difference on the scale today, look back at what you ate 2-3 days ago.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/23 151.3, exercised and ate well yesterday. Going to a baseball game tonight and will limit myself to one beer.
04/24 150.8, surprised on weight loss because I had two beers and a polish sausage. I wasn’t over terribly on calories but expect an uptick over the next few days. Worth it though!
04/25 150.7, first of two cocktail parties is tonight. Did a double yesterday to help with calorie intake. I did wake up thirsty so 64 oz of water wasn’t enough to combat the salt the previous day. Will make sure I’m hydrated going into tomorrow and the week end.
04/26 150.4, danced a lot last night, but did have more drinks and saltier food than I usually have. Back to the diet today.

I'm back after missing last round! I hit maintenance after round 71 and since then have been reporting my 10 day average towards my goal at the end.
Goal range: 132-137
Goal trend: t = 134.5

HW (age 14) - 175 lb
SW Jan 2015 - 165 lb
lost down to 130 then gained back to 140 and within the last 8 months slipped back into bad habits
SW Jan 2019 - 147.5 lb
GW - 135 lb
R67 EW = 141 lb; ∆ = -2.2 lb
R68 EW = 138.2 lb; ∆ = -2.8 lb
R69 EW = 135 lb; ∆ = -3.2 lb
R70 EW = 134.8 lb; ∆ = -0.2 lb
R71 EW = 133.6 lb; ∆ = -1.2 lb
~Maintenance~
R72 10-day-average = 133.1 lb
R73 10-day-average = 133.04 lb
R74 *missed* 10-day-average = 133.22 lb

Day/Weight/Comment
04/23 132.8 t = 133.5
Glad to be back here! I ate so much over the weekend and miraculously didn't gain anything. I think I may have created a new weight set point! Hopefully! Either way I've been back to logging since yesterday, back to doing what works 😁

04/24 132.6 t = 133.4
Feeling super lathargic the last two days, which is bad because I'm a full time nanny. You can't phone that in. It's hard to tell if it's metabolic or related to depression (i.e. premenstrual dysphoria; T.O.M. is coming up). Also I haven't been working out at all, and maybe that is making me conserve more energy??? Idk, I'm gonna do a 1 mile jog before work and see if that helps.

04/25 132 t = 133.3
Yesterday was great! I went for a mile run and did my best pace since starting again, 9 min/mile. I also did some yoga. It feels good to get back on the movement train. But today my back muscles are sore. I need a massage 😂
I want to do another mile run today but I don't want to over do it, and hurt my knee.

04/26 132.6 t = 133.3
Super happy with this!
Yesterday I had a NSV, I was browsing Facebook around lunchtime and someone posted about wanted taco Bell and then all of the sudden I really wanted some taco Bell crunchy beef tacos. I realized that while attempting to achieve my goal weight I had been super strict when it came to fast food, but now that I'm securely at the low end of my range why am I still avoiding it? Could it be unhealthy anxiety? So I decided to prelog 3 crunchy tacos and guess what? They were only ~500cal, the same as my lunch usually is now. So I did it, I went over to taco Bell and had 3 crunchy tacos for lunch and guess what? It was awesome and satisfying.

@deepwoodslady Donna, the shopping cart is the reason I started wearing my tracker on my ankle. An hour or 2 walking around Walmart or Sam’s Club and zero steps?? NO WAY!

@quiltingjaine I've heard you mention that before & it's a great idea. However, my fitbit won't fit around my ankle. I'll have to think of another way. When shopping in multiple stores for 5 or 6 hours, I know those steps add up! Any & all ideas would be great!

Day/Weight/Comment
04/22 …..196.8 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

04/23 …..194.3 ….. Down in water weight I’m sure. It never ceases to tick me off that I can go up by 5 pounds overnight (obviously mainly water), but only go back down 2.5. Oh well, it is what it is. I will not be discouraged today. Yesterday was on plan. 1430 Calories In / 2476 Calories Out. 11 Net Carbs. 13,220 Total Steps & 5.6 Total Miles. IF 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 6 minutes. I walked for about 11 minutes until being called away by work phone call but every little bit counts. I suffered from tremendous hunger & unbelievable cravings all day yesterday. I am so proud I made it through it without any hiccups. This is always what happens after a holiday or an epic cheat or binge. All the hunger & cravings return and my battle starts all over. I just have to try to remember that it is not worth it. Seriously, the less frequently this happens, the better off I am. I don’t like my graph lines trending upward & I was angry that I finally felt the need to change my ticker. I did great yesterday & I’m proud moving forward. No looking back except to learn. I wish everyone the best this round.

04/24 …..192.6 ….. Travel Day but feeling strong & in control. I will be gone for 8 to 10 hours. I am packing my travel snacks before I go which helps tremendously. I will eat only once at a restaurant. Please Lord, no bingeing when I get home tonight and help guide me through the restaurant menu. Lots of healthy fats & protein going with me today. I suffered with much hunger & craving again yesterday due to all the recent carbs. However, I made it through with all my tools.
But it wasn't easy. Yesterday’s stats: 1163 Calories In / 2289 Calories Out. 27 Net Carbs mainly from my zoodle marinara & meatballs. 10,950 Total Steps & 4.63 Total Miles. IF 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 38 minutes. I danced for 30 minutes. Sample song “Karma Chameleon” by Culture Club.

04/25 …..197.0 ….. A reasonable lunch out yesterday during travel. A very reasonable dinner. But the carbs kill me everytime. Most of my steps are not counted when shopping & pushing my cart while out of town so my fitbit info is inaccurate. I know I hit over 10,000 steps & 11/13 fitbit step hours. However, I know there was a lot less movement and overall calorie burn. As a Type 2 diabetic, my body just will not process or tolerate carbs. My weight is so quickly inflated, as are my glucose readings. I try to stay mindful of this. Anyway, my sleep was 5 hours & 21 minutes. Home today & on plan. It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day. I love you carbs, but you don’t love me back, so we are going to have to part ways.

04/26 ….196.8. ….. A tiny blip down. The food choices were not as good as they should have been, but I made it through a very late night with no LNS and no bingeing so that is a big plus. I managed a 44 minute walk but was otherwise busy. A grab & go day which never works correctly into my plan. Today is set to be busier but I am going to try hard to eat at regular intervals so the glucose doesn’t drop & I don’t start grabbing at food blindly again in a what feels like a frenzied life-saving desperate measure to fix it all QUICKLY. I know what to do, I just have to find a way to do it. My contractor is running late today but more work on the kitchen today & more cabinets being installed. That complicates things but I will make it work! I am also babysitting for my 1 yr old DGS this evening while my daughter takes my son & the two DGSs that are older to game night at the library. How I will have cabinets installed & watch the baby too, I have no idea. I so glad, however, they are all going to have a great time. It is always nice to spend time with the baby but this will be a challenge. I am going now to put towels over all the laundry baskets full of food from the old cabinets that are sitting in the livingroom & hoping for the best! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Day/Weight/Comment

04/23 - 154.6
Yesterday was a good day. I think the uptick is from sodium (ok, and food) on Sunday. I suddenly feel very much back on track. Planning to have a good round.

04/24 - 154.4
Off to the Y to lift weights and then one of our beautiful parks for a long walk, and then I hope to find a little time to move a clematis that's planning to take over the front sidewalk.

It's a gorgeous day out there!

04/25 - 153.8
Another reasonable day, although it's supposed to rain this afternoon. So nice to see everything greening up.

@deepwoodslady - You inspire me. Here I am dragging my feet because my office is torn apart (new flooring) and I need to paint it and I still have a cold. And of course there are a ton of other things that need to be done inside and out. Compared to a kitchen reno and babysitting, what am I whining about?

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 75
