Female age 62 5' 4”
Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
Goal – get back to 134 for this round.... - aim to get back to & stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, really want to keep this 10 days binge free! Keep calm, wash hands, be kind and follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus. Be able to met up with my beloved family.End of round 69 134.2 lbsKeep calm – we're all in this together!

Day/Weight/Comment
05/27 135 – 12.74 miles walked yesterday. Another good day, need to stay in this mind set. Started pre-logging in the morning again. 933 calories in credit and all macros well in green.
05/28 133.6 – wow ! greater loss than I expected, but I'll take it !! 11.27 miles walked yesterday, 537 calories in credit, all macros in green.
05/29 133.2 – wow, wasn't expecting that ! Another drop, just shows how if I consistently eat healthily what a difference it makes!! Must retain that info when I get tempted to binge! 8.77 miles walked yesterday, 540 calories in credit, all macros well in credit.
05/30 134 – 11.37 miles walked yesterday. Hopefully normal fluctuation, but knew the run would stop at some stage! 317 calories in credit and all macros in green.
05/31 134.4 - 8.81 miles walked yesterday. 155 calories in credit, but carbs 24g over, other macros in green, but sodium although within limits higher than normal because of mussels at lunch time. Hopefully this will rebalance today.
06/01 135.6 ?? I'm disappointed with this, I walked 9.95 miles yesterday & was 441 calories in credit, all other macros in green. Oh well, lets hope it's still just normal fluctuation. I'm not giving up, today is Monday and I'll get on with it!! Four days to get back down. Making the apple bread today.

Enjoy the apple bread! Is it the recipe I posted last week? If so, it tastes great with the tiniest sliver on butter melted on top of a heated slice! It's been my breakfast for the past 4 days. Still not sick of it
Made the apple bread that you posted, tasty but find it a bit too sticky, think next time I'll use less apples. I did make sure that the weight was correct; apples where quite small so ended up using 7, I think that was excessive. Hubby loves them, but I have to say I prefer the banana bread that I usually make. It does make a change though. Thank you for sharing, it's always good to try new things,
Nice, I’m glad you made it. The oats definitely give it that stickier texture, so I can see how it wouldn’t be for everyone. I’m happy you tried it though and that your hubby loves them at least.
@kblanc14 - I've reversed my opinion on the flourless apple bread after I fetched a piece out of the freezer to have after my walk today; for me freezing it first is obviously the answer, it takes the stickiness away and it is so delicious!! It's a hit from me!!
I'm doing a socially distanced afternoon tea in my garden for my gluten allergic sister next week; they are so going to be served to her as one of the sweet treats.
Thank you so much for sharing the recipe xx
That's so awesome to hear! That's interesting it changes the stickiness after being frozen. It's my pleasure to share recipes! 5 -

WELCOME TO JUNE
🌻🥀🌸🌹🥀🌼🥀🌹🌸🥀🌻
#norniron #stayingsafe@home
Looking forward:
I'm just too danged cussed to let this thing knock me back, and ruin all the effort I have put in to get here. I am stepping up my routine, and taking control. Sheltering in place means I can fully concentrate on getting in my exercise, and preparing healthy food.
- June: focus on maintaining and increasing my progress
- 2020: Goal is to stabilise weight around 145
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy
Never give up! Never give in!
Back Story:2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅JGM10D ~|~ Round 115

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

05/31-178.7 It's funny. The majority of folks believe CICO is the standard for weight loss. And it makes sense. However, now that I'm logging daily, I am becoming a believer that the food choices for those calories still impact the speed of that loss. Normally, I don't eat much bread, certainly not two days in a row. But man, that pretzel bread cheeseburger was even more awesome than the deep dish pizza the day before! Walked 14000 steps and other activities that earned over 800 more calories yesterday, of which I ate NONE of. Weight stays the same. Today I go back to the good carbs. C'mon scales...@littlecinnamon and I need a whoosh!
CICO is definitely the key to fat loss, but weight itself can be many things. When you eat carb heavy meals, you tend to retain water. When you eat salty meals, you tend to retain water. If you exercise a lot, you tend to retain water and even gain mass through muscle growth (slowly over time). I'm sure there's many more factors and I'm oversimplifying this even still.
When your body sheds that water is typically when you see your whoosh.

SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110
Last rounds: 125.2 122.8 121.6 121.2
Goal weight for this round: 119 to 120 range
05/27 121.2 We went for a nice 4 mile walk in the woods this morning and I did a few minutes of planks before the walk while I was waiting for my husband and father in law to be ready. I’m thinking about doing some jump rope later too. Food was good yesterday and I’m happy I didn’t go up due to water weight because we had a kind of salty dinner last night. So, I was pleasantly surprised about that. 😊 It’s going to be another 80’s day today and I’m so happy about it! It’s only our second one of the season and I love the warm weather so much! The armer weather also helps me want to eat lighter too, so it’s a win all around.
I’m thinking about making pesto chicken and pasta for dinner tonight. I love basil, so I’m really looking forward to it!
05/28 121.4 This is interesting and one of the reasons I loved the idea of this challenge. It allows me to see how my weight fluctuates throughout my cycle. In the next couple of rounds I’ll have a solid length of daily weights to see the ups and downs over the course of time. I feel good but definitely feel a little more puffy today. The body is so interesting that way… Maybe frustrating at times too. Food and exercise were really on point yesterday too. Started my morning today with a pleasant 5 mile walk with my my father in law and did a mini body weight workout prior to the walk by myself. I’m excited to try some the apple oat bread I made last night for breakfast this morning. I added some extra fiber to it too, so it will be even more filling for me. For 1/6 of the recipe it is only 225 calories and has 11 grams of fiber and 5.9 g protein. I’ll be having some cottage cheese or yogurt with it too to up the protein for my first meal.
Here’s the link if anyone is interested: https://thebakermama.com/recipes/healthy-flourless-fresh-apple-bread/
- I modified it by using 80 grams of dates instead of honey/maple syrup and added 40 grams of inulin powder (fiber) to it as well. Then, I baked it in 6 mini loaf pans for about 30 minutes I think it was.
05/29 122.2 This water fluctuation is pretty fun… Oh well, such is life. It was a solid day for food and I got in an awesome workout this morning doing soccer/running drills at the fields near my house. It was fun to mix it up instead of walking. My heart was happy it got a really workout. My father in law used to coach soccer for years and gets bored easily so the workout had a lot of variety to it. I hope everyone has a happy Friday!
05/30 122.2
05/31 122.2 Inching closer to TOM. This blip up over the past few days is definitely due to that. Yesterday was a really good day. I started it with some gardening, then moved on to sitting outside with my husband for a bit while eating my apple bread for breakfast. Then around 12ish I did a solid strength and cardio workout. Worked on my chin ups a bit. I’m at like 1.2 full chin up, I did a total of like 3 and half by the end of my workout. Goal for summer is to do 10 in a row by the end of the summer. Finished up the strength workout with around 20 minutes of jump roping.
After that I made homemade pasta with my mother in law as part of her Mother’s Day gift (we got her a pasta maker). So, we had a nice family dinner of homemade pasta with handmade meatballs and red sauce. Surprisingly this dinner didn’t kill my calories for day either. If I entered everything right, I even stayed within my goal for the day.
Today my husband and I went for a light walk this morning. Other than that, today will be a rest day (Friday and Saturday’s workout was pretty demanding on my body I think). Just feeling kind of spacey & fatigued like I usually do a couple days before my “friend” arrives. Have a beaustiful rest of your Sunday every one!
06/01 121.0 I’ll take the whoosh 😊. Yesterday was a really nice rest day and my hisband even made dinner. It was chicken with peppers, onion, carrot and a touch of parsnips (trying to use up the parsnips but won’t be adding them to a dish like this in future) in a Trinidad curry spice mix with coconut milk and brown rice on the side. It was so good! (Plus there are leftovers for tonight!) He’s the curry and Asian food chef in the house and has a really good instinct with it. He’s great at making Indian curries, Thai dishes and whatever else he concocts. I love to cook too but it’s more American and European style dishes. So, it’s a good balance for us.
We did another great soccer drill workout this morning and torched another 400 calories between sprints, hills, and all sorts of good things. Have a beautiful day everyone!
06/02 120.4 We went for a nice 4ish mile walk this morning. It’s nice to switch up the workouts. I think we decided to run the fields on Mon, Wed, and Fri. Then we’ll walk on Tuesdays and Thursdays to give our bodies a bit of a break.
Today is a day filled with food coming in the house, we’re getting a delivery of groceries and I’ll be picking up my June meat CSA. It’ll be fun to see what cuts of meat we get this month! On the menu for dinner tonight is a drunken shitake mushroom and ground turkey dish. It’ll be a spin off from the Thai Drunken Noodle dish. It’ll be a kind of salty dinner, so we’ll see if I retain any water from it. Oh well, the taste will be worth it!
06/03 119.8 I’m feeling good today, we did another field/soccer workout this morning. It was fun to mix it up and use the soccer ball with some of the drills. It was a little slower paced today but it felt pretty good because I was kind of tired at the same time.
I have some skyrr, home made granola, and fruit planned for breakfast today and really looking forward to it! Yesterday, I made myself a tzatziki salad of sorts with the skyrr for my afternoon snack and it was so good! I used the skyrr, everything but the bagel seasoning, an onion/garlic powder mix, and dried dill. It was so yummy! I can’t wait to get more veggies and salad greens because that sauce will be sooo good with more crunchy vegetables!
Not sure what’s on the agenda for dinner tonight but our meat CSA items were cool that we got. Some interesting ones were a 1lb package of ground beef with ground bacon mixed into it and then a garlic turkey sausage without the casing. I bet the turkey sausage would be good in a Bolognese style sauce. The bacon burger meat will be yummy on the grill! Oh how I love cooking! 😊
Have a happy hump day everyone!
06/04 119.8 Woo another day at this weight. 😊 We went for another good walk today of 4.75 miles. I have some bbq chicken pizza on the menu tonight because my mother in law had a lot of pizza dough that had to get used up. So, pizza it is! Food was on point yesterday and I felt very satisfied.
Currently have a zoom meeting I have to get to, so I’m off. Have a good day all!

05/27: 217.6 / I have to say this challenge really works for me. I have very little willpower by myself. Any number I record for these ten days would otherwise be higher if not for this group. My expectations are pretty high for this ten day period, just as a correction for the Covid-19 stress eating I have been doing. 😊

06/01 185.8 Three days in a row. Well, I’d rather be stuck at this number than a higher one, so I’ll take it.
06/02 185.0 I made it! Made my mini goal of 185 (again). Now to keep it by avoiding those weekend splurges (or DD grad splurge tomorrow) that just send me back recycling the same weight again.
06/03 184.8 Kept it! I’m going to wait until I have a week of weighing in below my mini goal of 185 before officially establishing my next goal. But I’m happy to be here and not higher!
06/04 184.6 Happy Scale now finally says my average weight is 185. I’m not quite ready to declare victory—I want to get through to the other side of the weekend with a 185 average, but am happy to be this close. Gratified for today’s number—had a BBQ to celebrate DD graduation yesterday and wasn’t sure how that would impact today.

5/27/20 - 183
This is depressing.
5/28/20 - 183
I worked almost all day in the garden putting in new beds and moving plants around — all good! — and ate sparingly during the day, but I was hangry last night and finally gave in. Nothing shockingly bad, and my calories were over my goal but under maintenance. Aiming for more protein today to fend off the late-night hungries! I’m determined to get this wagon rolling down from the crest of fat mountain! 🏔🎢
5/29/20 - 183
Still here. Calories once again over goal but under maintenance. We got a lot of rain yesterday so I didn’t do as much in the garden as I’d planned. Rain off and on today, too.
5/30/20 - 182.4
It’s a gorgeous morning here and I’m headed out to the garden. Yay! Also planning a nice long walk later. My favorite, close-by section of the river greenway is closed due to flooding, so I’ve decided to take that as a nudge to go check out a part of the trail I haven’t walked in a long time. Have a lovely weekend, all!
5/31/20 - forgot to weigh!
6/01/20 - 183
I seem to have a uti and am retaining everything I drink, apparently, which is gallons! Feel like I’m sloshing. I also ate an amazing Andes mint brownie that a friend dropped off, dammit. Wow - it was worth the calories, though I don’t want to know how many! Anyway, happy June! It’s another gorgeous day here and I have tons of garden work planned — I planted my newly expanded native prairie plants bed on Friday, and have woodland plants to put in in shadier areas today. Whee! Have a lovely! 🌸🌷☘️🌼🌿🌻🌱
6/02/20 - 184
Ugh. That’s the brownie, plus still retaining water, though the uti seems to have resolved. Garden work! My new herb garden is dug and tilled, and the two beds I’m expanding are de-turfed, and the prairie/native bee planted. So that’s all good, except it makes me hungry! But I’m making salmon-egg-avocado-veggies salad for lunch to up the protein. I need a higher protein breakfast. Ideas? No protein powder — real food. I’m swearing off snacks — and nothing after dinner, even if I’m hungry. Hoping the protein will help. Trying not to whine or beat myself up too much, though I am disgusted. Also trying not to check the news too often.
6/03/20 - 182.8
Finally letting go of some of that water. Calories well below goal, lots of protein, lots of exercise, one snack — air-popped popcorn. All good.
6/04/20 - 182.6
Yesterday was a good day in the garden — I built and painted two trellises on the fence and planted vines on them, planted my herb garden and the extended section of the bed across the back of the yard, trimmed and weeded the front bed. Whee! It’s good for body and soul, and a counterweight to the news these days. Kept my calories below maintenance though above my goal (a friend gave me a bunch of rhubarb so I made crisp because...). Off to buy more soil. Have a good day, all.

06/03 - 171.7 Glad to see the water weight coming off. I saw 177 on the scale when I jumped on last week. I haven't ventured back to working out yet. I tried eating healthier yesterday and did okay.
06/04 - 171.7 Still struggling with over eating. It's going to take some time (to eat all the snacks in my home lmao) and some self discipline to stop.

Goals for the round -- End the round under 230; continue to log food and post every day; focus n snacking control at night. Also, continue to log steps -- I decided on May 18 to walk a million steps before the end of July (70 days.)

Day/Weight/Comment
05/27 231.8, ready for another round! Woke up to low blood sugar this morning, actually had to dump sugar in. (Insulin dosing is not an exact science, especially when one is losing weight. Last night's bedtime dose was apparently just a tad too much.) So with 6 AM "snacking" I am already going to have to budget calories for the rest of the day. Steps yesterday: 18,747; steps to date: 139,941, a little ahead of pace. Blister well bandaged but tender, most of my steps were in socks/no shoes at the office! With the hallways empty due to everyone teleworking, I got up and walked through every phone call. Today makes one month of 10 Days. Thanks, everyone for the help!
05/28 232.0, virtually unchanged. Steps 11,836 / 151,777. Perhaps instead of making my goal focus on snacking control it should have been exercising snacking control! I have bee focusing alright, I have far too much to focus on! I need to establish new habits.
05/29 231.8. Blood sugar has been doing well, can't wait for my next appointment with "Dr. Furious." That's not until late July, but I think he's going to be surprised (that I will have lost weight and my sugar is good), happy (at my results), and frustrated (that I haven't been eating correctly like this previously and therefore have had poor sugar in the past.) Steps 10,754/162,531. I wish my foot would heal so I could go for a real walk! This is probably going to set me back a week or more longer but it is my own fault. So more sock-walking in the hallways at work and flip flop walking around the yard at home! No worries, I'll get as many steps in as I can and won't fret about what I can't do. Besides, it forces better food discipline -- if there are no "exercise calories" to eat, I am forced to make better food choices instead. Have a great weekend, all.
05/30 231.8. steps only 8995. More later.
05/31 230.8, steps 8409. I am going to attempt to get a gauze bandage to stay taped onto my foot today and see if I can gradually start increasing the steps again. I need to find a work around or resolve myself to just sitting and waiting it out for whatever time it takes to heal. I have to at least get the from yard cut, the weeds are a foot high in places with all the rain. At least the scale finally moved in the right direction!
06/01 230.0, so close to my goal for this round! I haven't been below 230 in several years. I WANNA! Steps 9,718 / 189,653, basically right on pace for my July 1 step goal. Working from home for the next three days due to the troubles downtown. Lots of damage and debris. Pray for peace, pray for justice, and pray for each other.
I do want to share one NSV from yesterday. Meals and snack-buying have changed little around my house and some days just trying to eat with the family has been challenging for me. Breakthrough yesterday.... Wyfe and Princess (lives-nearby-always-here adult daughter) talked early in the day about doing tacos for dinner. I said my usual "I will have to work it out to see if I have the calories" speech. Princess says "how about if we do taco SALADS?" and I pointed out that the ground beef and the shell would still drive the calories. And so she suggested "How about we shred a Costco rotisserie chicken instead of beef and toss it with taco seasoning, and we throw it in a BOWL and put Tostidos on the side instead of using a shell?" A "aha moment" for the family, and a very nice dinner indeed! Lettuce, campari tomatoes, salsa, pic de gallo, kalamata olives, jarred jalapenos, shredded cheese, chicken, (plus sour cream for them) and (for me, only 5) Tostidos..... 412 calories that were tasty AND filling! And my family steered the meal this way in support of my efforts. Family support.... a small but meaningful NSV!
06/02 229.0 GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAL! Well, for the round, anyway. Steps 12,063 / 201,716. Embrace the momentum! 30 more pounds to ONEderland!
06/03 229.0. Steps only 5006. Very long, busy day of work, my butt cheeks are sore from sitting in this chair for 12+ hours. Will try to get up more today. Lack of any activity showed up in my blood sugar this morning too (157). Can't have that!
06/04 230.8, steps 12,035/218,757. Okay, a little bounce is not too alarming. I did most everything right yesterday. although supper was a little high in sodium. Sugar was fine this morning and I did not overeat and I got steps in, so I am not worried. Note the number, but watch the trend!

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

5/27 119.0 We had a wonderful meal cooked on the grill. Hamburgers (no buns) grilled spaghetti squash, sliced tomato, and Keto Blackberry Cobbler from Keto Connect. Fairly high carb day but all “healthy carbs.” It’s was all good.
5/28 119.0 spaghetti squash and mozzarella meatballs for dinner last night. Pulled pork. Social distance sewing today. High of 109 anticipated.
5/29 117.5 Healthy carbs and higher fiber the other day = +1.5 pounds. THAT is why I count TOTAL not net carbs. Carbs are carbs! My body hates them.
5/30 118.0 Our youngest grandson graduates (officially a week later than originally scheduled) this morning. What a messed up year end. There will be 2 sets of grandparents and 2 sisters with Mom and Dad in the Suburban. One car per family allowed to watch. Closer contact than we have had since early March!
5/31 119.5 Olive Garden after graduation. My first restaurant since early March. I got “shrimp scampi” which had 6 small shrimp in a gloppy sauce on pasta. I have never seen scampi in anything but garlic butter so did not consider this to be scampi. I picked out the shrimp and ate them and most of a big bowl of salad. No bread, no pasta. Nothing there is low carb so I expected the gain. It will go away. But so disappointed in not having any good choices. Another thumbs down for OG. We should have skipped it and gone home but wanted to be with daughter and family.
6/1 118.0 9:31 of sleep!!! Holy moly!!
6/2 117.5 7:59 of sleep!! This is great! And I have lost the carb weight from Saturday.
6/3 118.0 Yesterday was a hot busy day! I didn’t drink enough water. I realized at about 10PM. So, it is what it is and I’ve had a quart plus coffee already this morning.
6/4. 118.0 Very salty dinner last night but got plenty of water. The Ridgecrest earthquake shook our house on the east side of Las Vegas just after 6:30PT. At first I thought I might be having a stroke or something. DH in the other room didn’t feel it. LOL Terrible sleep last night.
6/5
On a side note: My neighbor’s daughter flew in from Alaska the other day and as her plane was going to the runway, a man got up and was walking down the aisle to tell the attendant he had a fever and didn’t feel well! They took him back to the gate and put him off. Meanwhile, with his mask under his chin, he walked the length of the plane, exposing everyone to who knows what! Our friend has put herself in 2 week quarantine due to this. Our clubhouse has opened and water aerobics starts tomorrow. I have mixed feelings because I know so many in the neighborhood don’t respect social distancing and personal space. Am I wrong to consider skipping that class because in 2 weeks our daughter is visiting for the first time in 10 years?7 -

I've been gone since before spring break...and it shows. Made myself weigh yesterday after almost 3 months of not weighing and realized I had gained 13 pounds during quarantine. Way too much wine and comfort food. Time to get back on track!
