    Back for Round 99
    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 Stats
    R95: SW 146.3 GW 146.0 EW 145.3 Results -1.0 loss
    R96: SW 145.3 GW 144.0 EW 145.0 Results - 0.3 loss
    R97: SW 145.0 GW 144.0 EW 143.8 Results - 1.2 loss
    R98: SW 143.8 GW 142.8 EW 145.3 Results - 1.5 gain

    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.

    R99 Challenges: My biggest challenge this round is setting a goal. I'd like to show below R98's SW of 143.8 to overcome the spike, but not sure that is realistic with the holiday looming on Day 7. Christmas dinner will be ham, and that will undoubtedly show up with a sodium bloat. Honestly, if I can hold steady, I will be happy. I guess the real goal is to continue to increase the amount of plant based hydration in my diet and get back to my workout schedule to gain as much ground as I can, then stay focused post-holiday.

    R99 SW: 145.3
    R99 GW: 144.3

    Starting weight January 2019: 150 lbs
    Current weight: 133 lbs
    Ultimate goal weight: 130 lbs
    Goal this round: 132 lbs

    I'm a pickleball addict and have been plagued with shoulder/chest/elbow/wrist injuries for about a year. I've just started strength training, hoping to put an end to these overuse injuries. I lose weight very slowly, probably because I'm close to my goal and partly because I like food :). Hoping to lose just one pound this round.

    @GrandmaJackie - Thanks again!

    I'm in again, although I don't know how many days I'll be particpating fully. I still don't have my travel and entertaining plans pinned down. I considered taking this round off, but I think it will help me make better choices most days.
