My first full round
5’5”, 48-year-old female
Highest weight: 156
Ultimate goal weight: 130
Goal for this round: Lower than where I started.
06/06: 153.2
06/07: 151.2 Not sure how this happened, but I’ll take it! I’ve had a very busy weekend with a family wedding, so lots of good food, but also a lot of running around helping my sister.
06/08: 149.8 I don’t expect this to stay - most of the day yesterday I fasted in prayer for a dear family friend who was in a horrific car accident recently. Less than 800 calories total.
06/09: 150.8 Glad the gain I expected wasn’t too much. Hoping to work hard to keep it here or below.
06/10: 149.0 Fingers crossed I can keep it below that 150 threshold. I have a tendency to get excited when I see good numbers and then “reward” myself with a treat. So stupid and self-sabotaging! No treats today!
06/11: 151.0 Oof! But still down for the round, so perspective. Not making excuses, but while I didn’t succumb to treats, we did have a very high-calorie meal to celebrate something great for one of my kids. Also, TOM.
06/12: 150.2 Glad to see an overall downward trend. Trying to keep on track to get and stay consistently below 150.
06/13: 148.2 Cautiously optimistic!
06:14: 149.6 Glad it’s still under 150, even if just barely. Pulled weeds for 4 hours yesterday, but also went over my calories with a big lunch and big dinner.

I'm in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!
70 year 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.
We used to walk 5 miles a day. A pinched nerve and back surgery side-lined me for about a year. Then I had hip surgery March 10th. Recovery is slow. Sure do want to be back doing 5 miles a day!
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/06 - 146.5 - We had a small family get together last night on our patio for my husband's birthday. We had Mexican food and watermelon margaritas. I expect it to really catch up with me tomorrow, but it was worth it. I'll just have to be really mindful for the remainder of this round.
06/07 - 146.5
06/08 - 147.5 - It caught up with me.
06/09 - 147
06/10 - 146
06/11 - 146
06/12 - 144.5 - I think my scale got "stuck" at this number this morning. It looks great but I doubt it's valid. We have another small family patio party at my step-daughter's tonight, so either way I expect to be up tomorrow. I am happy though, that I managed to trend my weight back downward this week.
06/13 - 145.5
06/14 - 144.5 - Still trending lower. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow's weigh in.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/06 - 61.2kg, off to a nice start
06/07 - 61kg, not much to say, just doing my logging (~1100-1200 calories) and walking (16,000 steps)
06/08 - 61.1kg, okay that's fine, off to do my steps
06/09 - 60.8kg, missed my 16,000 step goal two times last week :-(, cold weather and rain, yuk!
06/10 - 60.9kg, lots of steps yesterday but also a few more calories than usual due to homemade dumplings :-)
06/11 - 60.6kg, yay! I feel so much fuller these days without hogging out.
06/12 - 60.7kg, the usual bounce up after a big loss the day before, weekend temptations coming up!
06/13 - 60.3kg, that's bigger than expected, probably not so good tomorrow, but hopefully will stay on target.
06/14 - 60.5kg, after last night's dinner out - 2 drinks and dessert along with main meal, ~ 500 calories extra!
06/15 - 60.4kg, Did not realise it's the last day! Just managed my goal, but didn't finish on the low of the round.9 -

About me: I love learning about food and everything about it; from the way it acts in the body to learning to cook a new recipe. I went to school for nutrition (got my bachelor's) but I didn’t become an RD because it didn’t feel like the path for me. I guess I wanted to keep it as more of an interest instead of a career. I then went into public health to further my education and I currently help medically complex patients by connecting them with community resources to improve their health and life. I enjoy helping family and friends when they ask for advice related to food and nutrition. Plus, it helps me brush up on what I spent so much time learning!
I’m here because when I’m not paying attention to what I eat, I start to gain and feel uncomfortable in my body. For me that results in frustration and a lot of other emotions. It has also increased my cholesterol in the past (It’s good now as far as I know thanks to diet and exercise). I have a family history of diabetes, heart disease, and all that fun stuff. So, I want to prevent that for myself by getting a hold of my food habits now.
I’m always open to conversation about food and nutrition, so feel to reach out to me!
06/06 120.0 This makes sense because I did an intense workout yesterday and I have some soreness today. So, it’s just the water retention as my muscles heal.
I just made really yummy summer rolls with brown rice spring roll wrappers, cilantro, leftover ground turkey [seasoned with ginger, garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce and lime juice], yellow bell pepper, shredded cabbage and baby greens. Then, I dipped them in a peanut sauce I made with 1 tbs peanut butter, ½ tbs rice vinegar, 2-3 tsps coconut aminos, 1 tsp toasted sesame oil, dash of garlic powder, ¼ tsp honey and 1 tsp grated ginger (I used the frozen ginger cubes). I could legit just eat the sauce and be a happy camper but mixed with the summer rolls it was really good too.
I plan on having a bit of a rest day for my Saturday and just enjoy lounging around. I’ll eventually do some chores, but we’ll see how I feel about that. Happy weekend all!
06/07 119.2 Yesterday was a wonderful lazy day where I was able to stay on point with food as well. I lounged around but also created an Excel database of all the recipes I want to cook from my cookbooks. I’m trying to prepare for the Fruit and Veggie CSA that starts on Monday for us. I want to make sure nothing is wasted, so I wanted to have a source of all the recipes I’ve been wanting to make for a while. I’m very excited about the document and hope it helps me meal plan all this produce we’ll be getting.
My plan for today is to make a batch of raspberry beet baked oatmeal to use up some milk we have in the fridge. I haven’t tried this recipe yet, so it’ll be interesting to see how it comes out. Then, I’ll be able to have it for my breakfasts this week too.
Also, I had a non-scale victory of realizing how much my body has changed over the past few months when looking at before and after pictures. I’m down 7 pounds and I’m really starting to feel awesome about the progress I’ve made so far. My muscles are getting stronger and it’s so nice to visibly see the hard work put into the process. On that note, have a beautiful Sunday!
06/08 119.2 Yesterday was a good day food wise and I moved around a bit more doing laundry and chores. I decided to take the weekend off for intentional exercise because I was just feeling a little tired. I feel it’s better to listen to the body than push it and overdo it. This morning I did another solid soccer workout this morning with my father in law.
Today will be a good one food wise because I made that beet raspberry baked oatmeal, so that’ll be my breakfast with a halfish cup of skyrr and some maple syrup drizzled on top. Not sure what dinner will be… most likely something with the fresh produce we’re picking up later today 😊
06/09 119.2 We went for a great 5 mile walk this morning. I also squeezed in a mini body weight workout consisting of push ups and body weight squats. Last night’s dinner was really good. I made a strip steak that my husband and I split because it was 1 pound total. For sides I cooked some baby kale that we had and made some oven fries (using up some potatoes we’ve had for a bit). The CSA pick up was super exciting and I’ll have to find some recipes to use all of the greens we got. We got spinach, Ethiopian kale, sorrel, and baby lettuce. I’ve never cooked with sorrel or Ethiopian kale. The Ethiopian kale has a bit of a mustard/spicier/bitter kick to it. It’ll be fun to see how it comes out. Some other fruits and veggies we got were a cucumber, radishes, potatoes (purple and a white one), cherry tomatoes, strawberries, and apples. Eeeeek I’m so excited about all the produce! 😊
Non scale victory for yesterday was only eating 2/3 of an Everbar (dark chocolately wafer bar) because I felt satisfied and figured I could just save it for tomorrow. By mapping out my dinner calories I knew by eating the bar it was going to be close too, so that was also a motivating factor to stop eating it once I felt satisfied. So it left me with an extra 60 calories in the bank for my dinner.
Not sure what’s on the agenda for dinner tonight but maybe turkey tips?
06/10 119.2 My father in law and I did another killer soccer workout this morning. Lots of sprinting involved and high heart rate levels resulting in an awesome burn and a really good workout for my heart.
I had a half bottle of kombucha yesterday and the caffeine in it messed with my sleep last night, so I’m feeling pretty tired between the workout and funky sleep pattern. We’ll see how productive I am today because of it. Oh well, I’m just glad I had the oomph for the workout 😊.
I ended up making homemade mac and cheese last night for dinner because I had the calories in the bank and my husband just wanted pasta for dinner. It was so good and cheesy. I also put a little Frank’s Buffalo wing sauce on top and that made it even better! Then I rounded it out with a small salad after with some fresh spinach, tomato and cucumber.
Tonight will be the turkey tips with BBQ sauce and a side of greens and the purple potatoes from our CSA. Have a good day everyone!
06/11 119.2 I will happily take this stall because it makes me realize I can have my body stay at a point where I’m happy with it. We have also been running a lot more which in the beginning can cause a bit of water retention. So, maybe I’ll get a little bit of a whoosh soon?
We went for a nice 4ish mile walk this morning and I did a mini bodyweight workout prior. Solid start so far. The turkey tips were good last night with Stubbs bbq sauce on them. 😊 Not sure what’s on the menu for tonight, I don’t know what I’m even in the mood for. I do need to use the sorrel that we got but I’m still not sure what to do with it. I found a chimichurri sauce that looks interesting, so I might try that. Have a good day!
06/12 120.0 Woke up feeling puffy and the scale also reflected that. It could be retention from my workouts on Wednesday and yesterday. We also had dinner a little later and it was a bit salty so this all makes sense. It’s been a good morning so far with another soccer workout. The spin bike we ordered a month ago finally showed up last night! 😊 We got a really good deal on it and it had been lost in transit with UPS and was most likely sitting on a trailer in one of their facilities. I’m just so glad it arrived and feel grateful to be able to have one.
I’m not sure what’s on the agenda for tonight for dinner but I’m hoping something easy for dinner. I have some gardening to do tomorrow and a few other things so it’ll be a low key weekend exercise wise but I will have to try the bike out tomorrow morning.
06/13 119.4 Did not submit anything for today.
06/14 119.4 Yesterday was a wonderfully lazy day filled with binge watching the rest of the 4th season of 13 Reasons Why with my husband. I had pad thai noodles for lunch (it was from this box mix for he got me for Christmas. The sauce was very good and nice and peanutty..not a word I know lol.). Then for dinner we had chicken leg quarters and we dipped them into whatever bbq sauce or hot sauce we wanted. We also had some frozen French fries because it was a bit of a whatever day for us. Days like that are so rejuvenating for me.
I woke up today after a really good night’s sleep filled with ambition. So I picked some herbs to go with the greens I have left from our CSA to make a pesto. The pesto came out yummy and will be going with fresh pasta and spinach tonight for dinner! I might roast those radishes finally too! See you tomorrow for the final day of the round! Then, after making the pesto I made us a smoothie for breakfast to use up the rest of the arugula which I though was sorrel all week. I tasted it again and realized there wasn’t any hint of lemony flavor and that it tasted more like arugula. The smoothie had a little bit of arugula and the radish greens, a frozen acai packet from Trader Joe’s, frozen banana, pineapple, frozen mango, some juice from the canned pineapple, blueberries, cashews, and coconut water.5 -

Round 116
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
06/06: 213.8 / I always weigh myself in the morning. Not bad for a Saturday morning. I have been known to have my discipline-wheels fall off on a Friday night. In fact, weekends in general are a problem for me.
06/07: 214.4
06/08: 214.8 / pretty minimal damage from the weekend. I just find it a lot easier to stick to the program during the work week. I was very active on Saturday and Sunday.
06/09: 215.4 / Not a bit surprising after yesterday’s office lunch at the Mexican Restaurant. We have not been able to go out for our weekly project management lunch meeting until now. So…. I may have had too much ‘chips and salsa,’ and my Pork Tenderloin Burrito with rice and beans on the side may have been high in fat and sodium. I thought my calorie goals were met for the day, so I supposed salt was the culprit, (Then I remembered my un-logged peanut butter pretzels.) This is why I am here. The examined life is a better life.
06/10: 213.2 / woot!
06/11: 213.2
06/12: 213.2
06/13: 211.0 / yesterday was a day where I was so busy working toward a deadline, then fishing til dark, that I didn’t have time to think about eating. First part of the day burning calories above the neck, second part below the neck. Ha! Tells me something. When I am bored, I eat. I need to get out on the Kraken (boat nick name) more often. I may want to exceed my calorie intake today so my body doesn’t go into famine mode.
06/14: 213.8 / an expected correction, especially after the salt fat and calorie intake yesterday. Yesterdays weight was an anomaly. Doing better today, but I don’t expect to get back to 211 tomorrow.

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 116
2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ So far, so good.
That's a WIN in my book!

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.

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 116
2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ So far, so good.
That's a WIN in my book!
2020
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.Posting weight and comments each evening.

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.

Goal – get back to 133 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
06/06 134.8 – 10.36 miles walked yesterday. So lucky to stay at this weight this morning; had a bad day yesterday, gave up logging by tea time when I had reached 2838 calories consumed. Sorry to have to say this (yet) again, but why do I self destruct?? I know what it does to me, but in truth I am a food addict & once I get into a feeding frenzy I can't stop. (Sigh) I am so disappointed with myself on these days. I'm going to try this 10 day to be at/under calories every day. I mean it's just 10 days and as it is fastly approachung tea time now, then day 1 is almost done!! I need to be strong/sensible.
06/07 134.8 – 9.33 miles walked yesterday, 664 calories in credit and all macros well in green. A much better day yesterday; in control
. What I have noticed is that even a few pounds make a difference to my resting heart rate? When at goal it's usually around 46 bpm, a few pounds on and it creeps up to 47, 48, when I get to 135 ish pounds its up to 50 bpm, that in turn pushes my heart rate up when walking, which I tend to do at/just under 4 miles per hour, I can feel that difference in my breathing whilst walking too !! Just an observation.
06/08 134.8 – 9.1 miles walked yesterday. 571 calories in credit, all macros in green.
06/09 134.8 - 11.73 miles walked yesterday, 407 calories in credit, but 4g fat over.
06/10 132.8 – wow!! got on the scales 3 times to make sure not a false reading! Would be happy to keep this to the end of the round (would be happy with half this loss!), but have to be realistic & expect normal fluctuations. 8.38 miles walked yesterday, 667 calories in credit, all macros in credit.
06/11 132.8 managed to hold on to this ! - 9.66 miles walked yesterday – 483 calories in credit, fat 5g over.
06/12 133.2 – 8.46 miles walked yesterday. 337 calories in credit, carbs 18g over.
06/13 132.2 – wow ! A new low for this year ! Didn't expect that, but can I make it stick? 10.42 miles walked yesterday, 541 calories in credit and all macros well in green.
06/14 133.2 – thought it was too good to be true yesterday, but ok with this. No walking yesterday as drove up north to see our families, DD threw a surprise bbq lunch for DH's 60th birthday on Tuesday, all within social distancing – so strange no to be able to hug. But so good to see them. Hence calories well over with birthday cake and celebratory glass of wine. Back to walking today. Staying strong to the end of the round.
06/15 133.4 – 8.51 miles walked yesterday over glorious local AONB; Cannock Chase. 268 calories in credit, carbs 12g over. Happy with this round, a whole 10 days without a binge & hence 1.4 pounds lost since end of last round – hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE. Keep calm – we're all in this together!

Seem to be at a bit of a plateau. I need to keep focussed, not get despondent and hope for a drop soon.

I don't understand it. I've been good and yet the scales are not shifting. If I don't see a downward whoosh soon I'll need to rethink my strategy.

Hanging on in there. I'm not going to give up.

I really don't understand this. I've been good with my food and been walking lots, averaging 20,000 steps a day. Need to come up with a new strategy.
