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.
Trying to get back to walking 5 miles a day. A pinched nerve and back surgery side-lined me for about a year.
Left hip and knee bothering me a lot. Hip Doc said surgery in April. Ugh!

@HoopsGuy72 what do you mean holding? You’re on a losing streak. Things have come up and and you haven’t let it keep you from your main focus. If I’ve learned anything this year it’s life will always throw us bumps but we can still go over them some slower than others but the drive will always reach us to the same destination over time. You’re going to get to where you want to be even with chocolate covered macadamia nut road bumps and injuries.6

Back for Round 98
Female / Age 62 / 5'2"
OW: 158.5 (12/30/18)
UG: 135.0 (for now, healthy weight for me)
Intro:Let me introduce myself. I struggled with my weight as a teen, topping out at nearly 200. I dropped it after high school and got to a healthy weight. Every major life changed has brought weight back on - having kids, pre-menopause, menopause, family tragedy, post menopause. I've knocked it back down each time, and have been surprised that each time required a different strategy, and resulted in a different type of lifestyle change to maintain. Each time as been much harder and slower. At this point, it's moving off at a snail's pace.
Motivation. I have a hyatial hernia. It does not bother me as long as I keep the weight at 150 or below. Every female on my mother's side has had arthritic knees, and I'm starting to feel twinges. They have also sustained falls and broken bones. My husband had a major health scare a coupe of years ago. The idea of being put out of commission by a preventable injury or illness scares the bejimminies out of me.
Goals. The goals at this stage are to drop weight to a healthy range, realign my eating style to a lifestyle that will keep me healthy into my golden years, and strengthen the muscles that support my knees, ankles, and shoulders, along with my core, to prevent injury.
Dropping weight post menopausal has been so difficult, I need this to be the last time. 10-15 pounds used to be easy to drop, so that was always my warning bell to focus. Not so much now. Looks like a 3-5 pound fluctuation will be it.
A healthy weight for me is 135-140. I've always looked anorexic at 120. We'll see how things are at 135, and go from there.
Round StatsR95: SW 146.3 GW 146.0 EW 145.3 Results -1.0
R96: SW 145.3 GW 144.0 EW 145.0 Results - 0.3
R97: SW 145.0 GW 144.0 EW 143.8 Results - 1.2
Strategy: Up the hydrating foods. Fruit with breakfast. Salad/veggies as bulk of lunch. Healthy dinner. Limit/eliminate processed carbs and sugars. Zero calorie intake after 8pm. Strength exercises 3 days on/1 day rest. Regular movement through day to compensate for desk job.
R98 Challenges: Continue to increase the amount of plant based hydration in my diet. Get back to workout schedule. This is the week of our big monthly briefing at work - try not to let it derail me. Start planning for family Christmas.
R98 SW: 143.8
R98 GW: 142.8
12/9 (M) 143.6 (Trend Weight 144.9) Ate well yesterday - within calorie range, but of plan. Somebody needs to go to the grocery store 😳
12/10 (T) 144.6 (Trend Weight 144.8) I'm gonna blame it on the moon waxing gibbous. It certainly isn't the Hershey Bar
12/11 (W) 144.2 (Trend Weight 144.8) Better. 6 days and 1.4 lbs to get to goal. Still off on workouts. Still need to get to grocery store - I'm literally out of things that are part of my plan.
12/12 (T) 144.5 (Trend Weight 144.7)
12/13 (F) 144.7 (Trend Weight 144.7)
12/14 (S) 143.6 (Trend Weight 144.6) I have been a hot mess. New boss and new staff member at work. Getting them up to speed, dealing with monthly reporting, and just the day to day stuff. I was offline here and had 140+ posts to catch up on 😳 Hugs to all who need them, and high 5's to all with great progress!
I'm still off on workouts. Fitbit sat on charger for 3 days. I still haven't been to grocery store. Been eating from stock in freezer and cupboards. Managing to stay close to calorie allowance given Loire activity. Finished working up meal plan to get to Christmas Eve. Will hit grocery store early tomorrow. I had my dates for this round all hosed up. They're fixed. 😜
Had a spike, but back to Round SW. Should be able to net a loss with some focus.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/08 …..188.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/09 …..188.2 ….. That is little consolation but better than nothing I suppose. Busy Bee here, off to do more wrapping & decorating! Good luck everyone on this round!
12/10 …..188.8 ….. Dinner at a friends yesterday. Chicken Alfredo loaded with pasta. I also gave in to the ice cream for dessert. She is FAMOUS for eating bad junk and not understanding why she isn’t losing weight (or why she is gaining). This morning I see things more clearly. The buck stops here. Today will be a good day. Yesterday I walked nearly 9 miles and well over 20,000 steps at the school. I have arranged with the principle to get into the school during the 2 week holiday closing. He will change the computer lock-down on the doors to be open until 2:00 pm daily (except Christmas & New Years Day). Once I’m in, no time limit. That is the good news my fat belly needed! Babysitting DGS #4 today (almost age 3). DGS #2 has to go to the hospital (a bit of a trip from here) for x-ray. He fell in the school yesterday and ankle is swollen (hopefully not broke.) I hope to do some marathon wrapping while babysitting. I hope I can still walk later at the school.
12/11 …..188.8 ….. In the middle of a wrapping marathon which involves standing in one place all evening. Waiting for results of xray on GS #2.
12/12 …..186.6 ….. A nice drop due to diligence in diet, but hardly any movement due to wrapping marathon which continues. Yesterday’s stats: 1229 Calories In / 2264 Calories Out. 27 Net Carbs. 9,762 Total Steps & 4.15 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 7 minutes and woke up tired, exhausted. I did 15 minutes of low-impact aerobics burning an extra 84 calories. I dropped 2.2 lbs so every little bit really does help!
12/13 …..184.0 ….. I am working my way back down though the inactivity is almost unbearable. I am mainly standing in place with the wrapping and there is no end in sight! Yesterday’s stats: 1103 Calories In / 2045 Calories Out. 26 Net Carbs. 7,260 Total Steps & 3.07 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours 28 minutes & needed more. No measureable exercise or activity to report. I am 4.4 lbs down so far from my ending weight last round. I'm not drinking enough water and TMI has been missing for 3 days now, but keeping my diet in check is really helping get this weight back down.
12/14 …..183.4 ….. Another good drop on the scale but today I am so hungry! I had a new fridge delivered so maybe seeing everything when I emptied the old one got to me. Sheesh, hold me back! No exercise again yesterday but good on diet and lots more wrapping done. Not done yet. I think I am the best friend of UPS, FEDEX and USPS. They just keep coming! Yesterday’s stats: 1070 Calories In / 2437 Calories Out. 23 Net Carbs. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 54 minutes. Today I will work on replacing food into fridge and more wrapping. The holiday season brings on so much work but Tis the Season to be Jolly so I’m keeping it positive. Fa La La La La.

Yesterday did not go as planned, food wise it did, but work had a project that needed to be audited resulting in a 15+ hour day. I did get my 15 min of cardio in but just couldn't sneak the 5x5 in. I have a very busy Saturday, trying to catch up on all that I wanted to do yesterday + what I need to do today.

12/10: 191.0 I think this is my magic number for a while. Getting over being sick. Hope to have some energy soon. I miss my gym partner =(.
12/11: 192.0 (+1) welp I didn’t expect that. Didn’t think i did that bad at Disneyland.
12/12: 191.8 (-.2) Maybe just a lot of water retention
12/13: 191.4 (-.4) stress levels are down. Been sick but still pushing
12/14: 191.0 (-.4) I feel like this is my magic number. Let’s see if I can get below it

Long term Goal Weight: 135 lbs
Round 98, 1st Round for Me
Highest Weight:210 lbs
Goal Weight: 164 lbs
My story: I am a military wife and mother to 6 children, with my youngest being 2.5 year old twins. I have struggled with weight my entire life. I got so close to my ideal weight after my 3rd child and again after my 4th, but I always put on way too much during my pregnancies (binge eater), and I have not been able to get myself together after the twins. I have recently hired a personal trainer and started counting macros to hopefully retain/build muscle while continuing to burn fat. It is hard for me to eat as much as she wants me to eat, because I just can't seem to trust the process...but I am trying. I am going to limit myself to weighing in weekly, because I know how slow this will go. Here for accountability, and hopefully more like-minded friends to check in with. Please add me!!!
Day:
12/09: Stayed under my calorie goal of 1400. Did 15 minutes of full body circuit training, 7 minutes on rower, and
20 minute walk.
12/10: Walked for 45 minutes (about 3 miles), and stayed under my calorie goal.
12/11:15 minute full body circuit training, 10 minutes rower
12/12:Met with trainer for an hour long cardio kickboxing, and strength session. Macros were on target. I've baked dozens of cookies and cupcakes so far this holiday season, and attended a cookie exchange (so my kitchen is filled with goodies). I'm feeling good though, and have been able to keep everything within my plan. I don't feel like weight is falling off quickly, but I do feel stronger and my clothes aren't as tight, so I'm confident things are headed in the right direction.
12/13:Did great with eating goals, but took a day off from working out.
12/14:Weigh in day! Weighed in at 163 this morning! So down about 4lbs from last week! I feel great! It is almost 7pm and I still haven't made it down to my basement to work out, but husband should be home soon and I will make it happen!!

Round 98 (My 20th!)
This will be a busy round as I try to balance holiday preparations, festivities, and end-of-semester demands. Hoping to minimize the take-out and convenience foods I usually fall back on when things get hectic and work in some time to walk.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/09 – 176.4 – Typical Monday morning bounce, but it should be gone in a few days if I stay on track. Rain all day. No walk, so I started cleaning out the pantry – something I should have done months ago – and thinking that my grocery shopping habits are due for an update to match changes in my eating habits and lifestyle.
12/10 – 176.0 – Squeezed in a drizzly 30-min. walk after my morning class before the rain picked up. It felt good to be outdoors! Late dinner, but under my calorie limit. Tonight was my last evening class this semester 😊
12/11 – 175.4 – Snow!
12/12 – 175.6 – Forgot to post yesterday, but it was a pretty good day. The sun came out and melted most of the snow on the boardwalk, so I got a good walk in after my classes. Then went home and made a big pot of soup. Met my calorie and hydration goals, although I had a salty sandwich for lunch. No walk today but met my calorie goal. Need to drink more water.
12/13 – 175.6 –
12/14 – 175.6 – Feeling festive! Got our tree today, then went to a Christmas Market at the beach, where I got lots of steps in and picked up a couple of neat gifts. Dinner out and some extra treats put me over my calorie limit, but it is the holidays.

Goal for this round is to stay in the 133's. I have three weeks before my trip so if I can make it to the 132's that would be outstanding!
12/09 133.8. ate too many calories after doing so well on Saturday.
12/10 133.6 I'll take it, but will need to be careful today. I sense some self sabotage coming on...
12/11 133.2 I ate the cookie and a small piece of black forest cake, but I also exercised and was careful the rest of the day. This evening I'll be cooking so that's good because I won't feel like eating cookies 😃
12/12 133.6 this evening there's a holiday dinner. I realize I'm actually much better at events than I am usually. I'm so careful. But when I'm at home, little less. I think it's because I'm counting and weighing, oddly enough. Need to think about it!
12/13 134.4 that holiday dinner was not great. I tried at first. Minimal appetizer. Then they brought a plate of butternut squash ravioli and they were drowned in brown butter sauce. I hate that stuff. It tastes like nothing and makes everything so greasy. So I tried to eat the least greasy ravioli and had two rolls out of irritation. Anyway. Sodium in the rolls. Sodium in the pickled veggies for appetizers. I'm not going to stress about this because it will be fine.
12/14 133.6. see? Fine! I drank a lot of water. Also migraine made it so that I could not eat too much! Friends enjoyed the dinner but I didn't. I didn't want to cancel and have all that food around.
12/15 134. Lunch out at a friend's with a very large portion. Leftover dip...that'll do it. Even though it bounces around a bit I am hopeful that im going in the right direction8 -

Back for Round 98
Female / Age 62 / 5'2"
OW: 158.5 (12/30/18)
UG: 135.0 (for now, healthy weight for me)
Intro:Let me introduce myself. I struggled with my weight as a teen, topping out at nearly 200. I dropped it after high school and got to a healthy weight. Every major life changed has brought weight back on - having kids, pre-menopause, menopause, family tragedy, post menopause. I've knocked it back down each time, and have been surprised that each time required a different strategy, and resulted in a different type of lifestyle change to maintain. Each time as been much harder and slower. At this point, it's moving off at a snail's pace.
Motivation. I have a hyatial hernia. It does not bother me as long as I keep the weight at 150 or below. Every female on my mother's side has had arthritic knees, and I'm starting to feel twinges. They have also sustained falls and broken bones. My husband had a major health scare a coupe of years ago. The idea of being put out of commission by a preventable injury or illness scares the bejimminies out of me.
Goals. The goals at this stage are to drop weight to a healthy range, realign my eating style to a lifestyle that will keep me healthy into my golden years, and strengthen the muscles that support my knees, ankles, and shoulders, along with my core, to prevent injury.
Dropping weight post menopausal has been so difficult, I need this to be the last time. 10-15 pounds used to be easy to drop, so that was always my warning bell to focus. Not so much now. Looks like a 3-5 pound fluctuation will be it.
A healthy weight for me is 135-140. I've always looked anorexic at 120. We'll see how things are at 135, and go from there.
Round StatsR95: SW 146.3 GW 146.0 EW 145.3 Results -1.0
R96: SW 145.3 GW 144.0 EW 145.0 Results - 0.3
R97: SW 145.0 GW 144.0 EW 143.8 Results - 1.2
Strategy: Up the hydrating foods. Fruit with breakfast. Salad/veggies as bulk of lunch. Healthy dinner. Limit/eliminate processed carbs and sugars. Zero calorie intake after 8pm. Strength exercises 3 days on/1 day rest. Regular movement through day to compensate for desk job.
R98 Challenges: Continue to increase the amount of plant based hydration in my diet. Get back to workout schedule. This is the week of our big monthly briefing at work - try not to let it derail me. Start planning for family Christmas.

12/9 (M) 143.6 (Trend Weight 144.9) Ate well yesterday - within calorie range, but of plan. Somebody needs to go to the grocery store 😳
12/10 (T) 144.6 (Trend Weight 144.8) I'm gonna blame it on the moon waxing gibbous. It certainly isn't the Hershey Bar
12/11 (W) 144.2 (Trend Weight 144.8) Better. 6 days and 1.4 lbs to get to goal. Still off on workouts. Still need to get to grocery store - I'm literally out of things that are part of my plan.
12/12 (T) 144.5 (Trend Weight 144.7)
12/13 (F) 144.7 (Trend Weight 144.7)
12/14 (S) 143.6 (Trend Weight 144.6) I have been a hot mess. New boss and new staff member at work. Getting them up to speed, dealing with monthly reporting, and just the day to day stuff. I was offline here and had 140+ posts to catch up on 😳 Hugs to all who need them, and high 5's to all with great progress!
I'm still off on workouts. Fitbit sat on charger for 3 days. I still haven't been to grocery store. Been eating from stock in freezer and cupboards. Managing to stay close to calorie allowance given Loire activity. Finished working up meal plan to get to Christmas Eve. Will hit grocery store early tomorrow. I had my dates for this round all hosed up. They're fixed. 😜
Had a spike, but back to Round SW. Should be able to net a loss with some focus.
12/15 (S) 144.1 (Trend Weight 144.6) Bouncy bouncy. Anyone remember the song Red Rubber Ball? 😂 Ate well within my allowances yesterday and got plenty of water. I started my workouts up again last night. Just my body going "What the heck?!"
