Day/Weight/Comment
07/16 - 57.7kg, <7,000 steps yesterday (shocking), will do better today, calories were good :-)
07/17 - 57.3kg, surprising since yesterday was the 1st in 90 days that I overate, too much food, too little exercise
07/18 - 57.1kg, all good in the hood!
07/19 - 57.4kg, the body seems to love being in the 57-58kg range, >13,000 steps yesterday, good clean eating
07/20 - 57.6kg, oh no! Going the wrong way, sodium was high yesterday so many it's water. >13,000 steps yesterday
07/21 - 57.4kg, no walking yesterday, just gardening, less salt, happy to hang at this weight for now
07/22 - 57.0kg, a new low in this diet saga and I have learned to expect a bounce will follow, < 11,000 steps Tuesday

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. Recovered from back then hip surgery!! Got back to walking then I sprained my ankle. UGH! hurts!
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

07/16 145.4 lbs 1,872 Calories 45 Carbs, 26 Net Carbs and No Exercise today. Just one of those days with no motivation. Made a Keto dessert but I ate to much of it. I will try to get back on track tomorrow.
07/17 146.0 lbs. ⬆️ I have to get my eating under Control again. One thing I don’t talk about much. But in the past I was/ am a binge eater!! It’s a bad habit I have and it still shows up just when I think I have it under control. One good thing is that I’m eating health food not just Junk!! 1,112 Calories, 65 Carbs, 44 Net Carbs , 5,887 steps and 30 minutes aerobics! Carbs are high but I had Green Beans from the garden and they were worth the Carbs.
07/18 145 lbs ⬇️ 1,411 Calories, 41 Carbs, 33 Net Carbs and 5,517 steps. Sweet corn is just starting to be ready and we had some for lunch. I know it’s not low carb but that’s OK.
07/19 144.2 lbs 1,243 Calories, 35 Carbs, 14 Net Carbs and 6,443 steps. It’s Sunday and our 1st time back to church since March 12th and we closed down. Wearing mask and social distancing!!
07/20 144.2 lbs 1,428 Calories, 66 Carbs, 45 Net Carbs and 7,653 steps. Evening stacking is killing my Carbs!
07/21 144.4 lbs 1,469 Calories, 75 Carbs, 68 Net Carbs and 8,245 steps. Today it was the sweet corn out of our garden that was high on carbs.

07/15 …..209.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/16 …..210.1 ….. I want to apologize for not being very engaging these past few rounds. There are some major changes going on in my life, some good, some full of turmoil, and my time has been limited and my efforts constantly disrupted. What I am facing could turn positive but it is going to take awhile for it to all come together. My diet and exercise has been completely thrown off-kilter no matter how hard I have tried to keep a good schedule. My usual walking plans of many, many miles per day has been non-existent. Covid has contributed but is not the main factor. I am saddened by this because summer is usually my most successful time of year due to walking, hiking and outdoor activity. I hope for resolution in the coming months, certainly by the end of the year. In the meantime, I will continue to hang around and do what I can, when I can. I know how important it is to my health. I just wanted to say I am sorry that I am not in a position to inspire at this time, but that I continue to be inspired by each and every one of you. I ask for your patience. I still have so much to learn from you all which I know will help when my life is back in order and I can get back in the game 100%. Thanks for your understanding and support.
07/17 …..210.0 ….. Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes and private emails too. It is truly appreciated during what is proving to be an especially challenging time. @quiltingjaine When I was a Postal worker years back and on my feet all the time, the gov’t recommended calcium, magnesium and zinc which we took in a 1 pill combo pill. It really did help with leg cramps, muscle soreness and all the things leg related. Of course, talk to your doctor if you have any concerns. It helped thousands of us, just in my building alone!
07/18 …..210.0 ….. Status Quo.
07/19 …..210.1 ….. Hopefully just a fluctuation.
07/20 …..210.0 …..
07/21 …..210.0 ….. No progress but no detriment either so I’ll take it (for now).

Day/Weight/Comment
07/16 - 327.8
07/17 - 329.7 - doing alt. day intermittent fasting means I'll have an uptick in weight every other day. I expect it and am prepared. I'm so prepared that if I lose too much too quickly, I'll change from a 4:3 to a 5:2 fasting pattern. But so far, so very good.
07/18 - 326.8 - As expected, down a pound from 2 days ago. Since July 6th, down almost 14 lbs. Alt. day IF really has kickstarted my losses after being stuck on a plateau for almost 7 weeks.
07/19 - 329.3 - Right where I expected to be. With 4:3 fasting, my weight should be slightly up after the weekend, then back down after the fasting days. Instead of measuring on a day-to-day basis, a better measure for me will be on a week-to-week basis.
07/20 - 329.9 - And another slight uptick after 2 days of eating. Not a problem, since last Monday I weighed in at 332.5. As long as I keep my weight around the 2 lb. loss per week mark, I'm happy.
07/21 - 328.5 - Down about 3 lbs. from previous week.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/16 135.2 – such fluctuation !! 8.67 miles walked yesterday. 573 calories in green and all macros in green.
07/17 135.2 – 7.07 miles walked yesterday, at DS with DGD & DGS#1 (brother of sick DGS) so no control of food preparation, but did try to restrict volume of intake !!
07/18 135.2 – 9.6 miles walked yesterday, 605 calories in credit and all macros in green. Baby DGS#2 has been transferred to Leeds hospital where liver experts are, they have given a very tiny glimmer of hope, long hard struggle ahead, but he is a fighter! We're all keeping positive for a miracle.
07/19 135.8 – 10.15 miles walked – guessing that's the bacon at lunch & pizza last night, 304 calories in credit, but 21g carbs over.
07/20 135.6 – 6.74 miles walked yesterday. 7 calories in credit, 19g carbs & 9g fat over. It's the start of another week, need to start over.
07/21 135.6 – 11 miles walked yesterday. 508 calories in credit, carbs over.
07/22 134.8 – 10.63 miles walked yesterday. 716 calories in credit, all macros in green.

Food was on track. Did lots of exercise and my muscles are sore so hoping this blip is water retention. Going to drink plenty of water today to help.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/16–179.4 Well, that just stinks! I did pretty much everything wrong yesterday, and it shows. I almost didn’t post here this morning. Almost didn’t weigh. But that’s what I do when I lose control and vanish from the board, so I decided to just own it and move forward. So that’s a positive, right? I’m hoping this drops off pretty quickly since it was a one day deal, but I know it will take a while to make progress beyond where I was at the end of Round 119. But it's all good. I'm still here and will not give up this time.
07/17–177.6 So, that’s real progress, but some of the damage remains, which is always true, isn’t it? Had a perfectly lovely morning hiking with granddaughter in a pack on my back to an enormous sunflower field. She loves riding on my back in that pack, and I love carrying her into some of my favorite places.
07/18–176.0 Finally some real progress. I’ll take it! I ate lots of fresh veggies and some fresh peaches yesterday along with a farm-raised filet mignon for dinner last night. Got in a good walk early yesterday morning. IF 16:8
07/19–175.6 Sure hope I can maintain control today and keep this trend going!
07/20–174.8 Summer vegetables and fruits from the farmer’s markets make this such a delicious time of year! I even worked in a little ice cream treat yesterday when it was 96 degrees here with humidity of like 1000%—such a scorcher! I’m learning it’s all about portion control and retraining my brain to stay away from, for me, these things: breads, heavy starchy foods (pasta, white potatoes,etc), and rich, saucy ways of cooking things—not necessarily eliminating them entirely, but avoiding them whenever possible. Our family’s favorite dessert right now is fresh fruit (last night was peaches and cherries) with a dollop or two of low fat vanilla yogurt on top. Onward and hopefully downward—one day at a time!
07/21–175.4 Part of the process. I had a rest day from planned exercise yesterday. I was just tired! Gotta get back on it today! But hey, I'm within 10 lbs of my first big goal! That's exciting.
07/22–175.8 This is my body being stubborn. Ate well and exercised a lot yesterday, so I was good with all that. Guess I could have drunk more water, so that is the goal for today.

- (8) 8oz water per day ✔✔✔✔
- 4 to 5 vegies/fruit each day ✔✔✔
- No sugar ✔✔✔✔✔
- No Bingeing ✔✔✔✔✔
- IF 6 out of 10 days ✔✔✔✔
- New Challenge - Pushups. Today I could literally do only 1 pushup barely and this was with my knees down. Do them every day and hopefully be able to do 10 soon. My husband suggested maybe doing some bench presses too. ✔✔✔✔✔
- 1/2 tsp of added salt ✔✔✔✔

I reached my ultimate goal of 58kg in round 118 then totally sabotaged myself ending up the biggest I've been this year! Goal this round is to finish at 59.x kg
07/16 59.95kg a slow steady down trend is what I want!
07/17 59.90kg...Nice work out.
07/18 60.10kg which is ok considering the size of the t-Bone I ate last night!
07/19 60.55kg
07/20 61.15kg...not surprising considering the calculator blew up when I tried to calculate the calories!
07/21 60.1kg...a few days to get it under 60.

Skipped RND#108-RND#119 - I struggled during this work-from-home isolation. Ate too much, didn't work out enough. I am.just glad I didn't put on MORE weight. My gym is open, so I'm back and working out... and generally feeling less depressed and more positive than I had since the world went insane back in Feb & Mar. Hope you all are hanging in!

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.
July: focus is on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:
- 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
Back Story:2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅JGM10D ~|~ Round 120 🔹Posting weight and comments each evening.
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.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- 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.

Final Goal: 130.0
07/16 - 136.3
07/17 - 135.7
07/18 - 135.2 | Losing weight much quicker than I expected, maybe being too strict on calories? Feeling super tired pretty much all the time, but I also have a newborn child, so I was previously just chalking it up to that.
07/19 - 134.7 | Even consumed a decent number of calories yesterday, still came down more than expected. Also not drinking a ton of water, so that might be part of it.
07/20 - 136.2 | Yeah, I think the lack of water the last few days was a mirage. Gonna get back on track!
07/21 - 134.7 | I guess yesterday was a weird blip. Back down to the weight from the day before. Made the famous low calorie protein powder cheesecake from the recipe section of these forums. While not particularly delicious, it is surprisingly filling for the calorie count (mine, with blueberries, is ~200 calories per serving). Eating that for breakfast around 8:00am has (so far) kept me from wanting a morning snack until lunch comes.

07/21: 170.0 Whoosh... I guess 169.x is pretty close after all.
07/22: 168.2 Whoosh and round goal met. This is probably a blip from being a tad dehydrated from yesterday, but not completely wrong. I was surprised though as I had Chinese for dinner yesterday. Go me!

Round 120
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
07/16: 212.4 / Starting this round at my average for last round. NSV: yesterday I actually reached my hand out to pick up a 2nd donut at work, and then pulled it back. Thought about how it might affect my 10-day challenge. Wish I could be that way all the time. Does anyone else feel obligated to take a donut or cookie that someone else brings in to share at work? I do not want to hurt their feelings or put-down their act of kindness. I think I am actually wrong about this.
07/17: 212.0
07/18: 211.8 / I will happily take this, since I did not weigh until mid day after fishing all morning. Left the house at 3:45 am. Drank a lot of water. Tomorrow will be higher. I may need a nap. 😊
07/19: 213.8
07/20: 215 / Another weekend with DW family as house guests. Throw a family reunion in there for good measure. I made awesome Kabobs yesterday (So I am told.) Sous Vide the steak and finished it on the grill with the veggies. Another festival of salt these past two days.
07/21: 211 / I feel like a pufferfish . ( https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/fish/group/pufferfish/ )
07/22: 211 / I rarely weigh the same on two days in a row. Let’s bump it down a notch for tomorrow.

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!Previous days’ entries
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 free to reach out to me!07/16 116.8 We went for an awesome walk this morning clocking in at 6.52 miles. It was a pretty one too, up the small hill/mountain we have in my city and back home. I just ordered a flat of 12 pints of blueberries for next week in addition to our CSA. I think I’m going to take a couple days off from work to make a bunch of different goodies with them 😊. I need some me time and I think that will be perfect! Dinner tonight will be leftover pesto pasta and chicken with some leftover roasted veggies because they really need to get eaten.
07/17 116.2 It’s raining this morning, so we went for a 3 mile run in the neighborhood instead of a soccer workout at the fields. Then, I continued after my father in law headed home and did another 3 miles of walking and spurts of running when I got chilly. For breakfast today I plan on making some oatmeal with fresh blueberries, peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut cashews, cinnamon, and a dollop of Skyrr. I love that it’s a little cooler because it will be the perfect day to enjoy a hot bowl of oatmeal! I plan on making pork chops with BBQ sauce with a massive salad for dinner tonight. Still trying to figure out what I want for a snack/lunch in between the two of them. Happy Friday!
07/18 116.2 Early morning post for me. I’m just relaxing while the house is nice and quiet. I plan on doing a body weight workout and then jump on the spin bike for a bit today. I’m not really sure what I have planned for food today except that I know eating a cucumber feta salad will be in my future because I have a couple cukes to eat before we pick up our csa on Monday. I also have beets and summer squash to cook/ do something with. I have a beet and blueberry muffin recipe that I’m tempted to try from the Run Fast Cook Fast Eat Slow cookbook. I also kind of want to try and make refrigerator pickles with the squash and one of the cucumbers.
Last night we end up making Pho for dinner because we had some instant mixes back from when I had the flu in February. I added the pork cut into slices, bok choi, onion, and summer squash (My husband wasn’t a fan of the squash). It came out pretty good and it was a nice quick dinner that didn’t break the calorie bank. I didn’t bother tracking it because the two mixes together totaled 500 calories, so I knew I would be okay with us splitting that and the addition of pork weighed less than I had originally expected. I was satisfied hunger wise for the rest of the night and my husband ended up munching on some cashews and a spoonful of peanut butter while we were watching the Rev’s soccer game around 8ish.
07/19 116.2 Yesterday was an awesome day. I had a non scale victory of being able to do 7 chin ups in a row during my body weight workout. That makes me feel good because I know I’m still gaining muscle while losing weight. That has been one of my goals because I want to have a good amount of muscle so I don’t end up being skinny fat (which isn’t healthy either). I also have sore legs from said body weight and spin bike workout.
Food wise, I had fun making whole wheat blueberry muffins with the wild blueberries we picked last week. I also made some more granola and refrigerator pickles using CSA zucchini and onion. Breakfast was a blueberry beet smoothie from the cookbook Run Fast Eat Slow (Shalene Flannagan and Elyse Kopecky’s first cookbook) along with a cucumber salad with 2 oz. of feta. Snacks were a blueberry muffin, yogurt with blueberries and honey granola. Dinner was basil fried rice made by my husband. It had ground chicken, Jasmine brown rice, onion, frozen stir fry veggies and a concoction of soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce and one more sauce, I think. Then I had a large apple for dessert. The stir fry was so good! Plus, I love when he cooks dinner 😊.
Tonight’s dinner will be burgers made with our CSA ground beef which is super lean. I think I read on their website the beef is about 95% lean. We have to use up some Kaiser rolls in the fridge and I was thinking about caramelizing some onions too. I’ll grill up what’s left of the summer squashes from our CSA for a side. If any greens are left well have some salad too.
07/20 116.8 Just floating in the 116 range for a bit, but I’ll take it 😊. I think I’ve been eating a lot closer to maintenance, but I’m cool with it. I went for a 6ish mile walk this morning. Yesterday was a good day filled with organizing our space and clearing out some stuff. It’s CSA pick up today and looking forward to seeing what we get! Hopefully, it’s a little more lettuce and less funky greens this week. A girl can only eat so many greens that she’s not too fond of to begin with. I love kale, spinach, lettuce, arugula and the Tokyo Bekana (new to me last week), but the more mustardy greens are too strong for me and I just force myself to eat them.
07/21 116.4 It’s crazy that my legs are still sore from my workout on Saturday. I didn’t even feel like I did a ton of stuff to them. Yesterday was good food wise, for breakfast I had my usual yogurt with fruit and granola and for dinner I made pulled pork in the pressure cooker so it would be easy to throw together after I cleaned my CSA produce. For sides we had sautéed zucchini, beet green stems, and an onion. We also each had a ½ ear of corn on the cob. My wish came true about my CSA pick up this week, we only got 1 bunch of kale and beets with greens on it. The rest were vegetables like corn, cucumbers, squash, onions, scallions, tomato, and a few other things. Have a good Tuesday everyone!
07/22 116.4 So far today I have dropped my car at the shop to finally get my snow tires taken off (haven’t really driven anywhere since March) and get my all-weather tires put back on. Then, I walked the 3 ½ ish miles home and did some jump roping and sprinting in our yard to get a cardio boost. Dinner was easy last night because it was leftover pulled pork. To switch it up for myself I cooked some quick cooking barley to put the pork on top of and had some left over zucchini with it. The barley helped make the meal nice and filling. I’m not really sure what’s on the agenda for tonight’s dinner but maybe some sort of chicken Thai or Indian curry with lots of veggies.
