My scale readings bounced up 4 pounds when I changed batteries, so I didn’t suddenly gain 4+ pounds. I didn’t want to write that down but, other than the horror of gaining, what difference does it make? So I’m going with the new readings, dammit.

There’s the bump from Sunday’s binge. That’s fine. I spent another 4 hours on “heavy gardening” yesterday, digging things up and replacing, schlepping bags of dirt around, planting new plants. Off in a few for a walk by the river and then a stop for — surprise — more plants. I’m an addict. 🌸🌿🌼🌱🌻 Happy June, everyone!

6/2 - 188.4 - 1951
It’s cool and overcast this morning but heating up later, so I’m off to plant my new hydrangea and yellow Baptisia and then go for a walk. Feeling activated!

6/3 - 188.8 - 1752
It rained all day yesterday and we ordered from Fazoli, so not much activity and heavy food. I still feel weighted down. Ugh. Going to try to eat light and burn some calories today.

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.

Main goal(s) - 1. Count calories even when with partner/at social events, even if it’s not perfect an estimate is better than nothing! 2. Don’t allow a little slip up or not being able to track properly to derail me 3. Anything can be worked into your daily calorie goal 4. Use this challenge to identify problem habits/patterns and change them 5. Sacrifices now equal results later

6/2 - 161.0 - determined to keep this progress this time! Each round I seem to make good progress and then go right back to where I started, only to spend the next round getting back to where I was. This challenge has made that abundantly clear. Need to put more effort into making better choices, especially when eating out.
6/3 - 160.0 - great

first day off but still woke up quite early, but also slept a lot during the day, I’ve been tired!

Thanks @quiltingjaine

5/10: 183.1 - 2 pounds off my heaviest weight ever - (stopped posting on this challenge July 2020 - very glad to be back!)

Round 152
Goals: 80oz water; row 30 mins most days; dance to a different song each day to burn calories and also because music makes me so happy 🎵 🎵 🎵; eat vegetables/fruit; 1200 to 1500 calories; IF most days; no sugar
SW: 179.0

Whatever your goals, I wish everyone a successful round!

Previous days' posts

6/1 - 178.7 - Good way to start! Going to row. Soon I'll be on the water in my kayak but today it's in my basement on my waterrower - if I close my eyes, it sounds like you're on the water.

6/2 - 178.0 - Down 5 pounds! I need to learn from my past where I slowly slide back into old habits and gain that 5 pounds back again:
No sugar - my cravings have subsided so much. I'm better able to control myself when those moments happen that make me want to binge. Also, I won't fool myself as I've done in the past that I have more "willpower" now and can handle it. I have more willpower because it's a physical thing with not eating sugar. I've fallen for that too many times and after one day, I'm off on a month-long binge.
Water - drinking water really does help you to stay full or maybe it's also that I'm not really hungry but thirsty. I was going around so dehydrated.
And lastly, Milk - I was drinking my calories. I love milk but also think it was my way of making up for not having sugar. I've stopped it for now too because I have really bad eczema and hoping it may be part of the cause.
Second lastly

celebrate all the small changes instead of focusing on my long-term goal, whatever that really ends up being.
Oh man, I could keep going but I'll stop!

@Kirk_mfp (feel free to add me!)
40s male, 6'0"
SW: 300.2 pounds
GW: 210.0 pounds

My approach: Move and lift more, keep track of my food, and drink lots of water.

6/01: 293.0 - I'm so ready for my Round 2. No more long weekends and now I can focus on eating low calorie/carb breakfast and lunch, and eating a wholesome dinner. Thank you for the support here, friends.
6/02: 291.8 - Down 1.2 pounds. I was actually worried because I ate waaay too much beef jerky last night. I should have cooked up a chicken breast instead. I'm still tracking my food and gotten back into the snacking mode from the weekend. Today I will strong.
6/03: 290.6 - Down 1.2 pounds. Foods I ate the day before: chicken breast, mozzarella cheese, some mixed nuts, cordon bleu, some basmati rice, some channa masala. I'm pretty happy with what I'm doing, and the food isn't that bad either. Also I've learned that Diet Dr Pepper makes my face breakout now. I must have an allergy of some roots and spices in it.

Round 152
June 1 - June 10, 2021

SW: 252.2
Day/Weight/Comment

6/1 – 252.2 – I ended Round 150 at 251.8 and missed the first few days of Round 151 so I did not participate. Gained a little back since then, but I am overall pleased because it isn’t that much and I know that if I get refocused, I can handle it. This past weekend over the holiday was an eye-opener though. I didn’t expect it to be so hard to stay on track, but with family in town and all the festivities I struggled to log my food and exercise entries into my diary on here, luckily, I did have a physical journal in my purse so I could write it down and enter as soon as I was able this morning. I struggled in general though with all the deserts, food, and alcohol that everyone else was consuming. I did give into drinking one Seagram’s beverage. I know they are empty calories and not good for a person, but step by step I will reach my goal.

6/2 – Did not get weight this morning. Planning on starting a light exercise regimen tonight as well, hopefully, I can kick start my weight loss again. ** Was able to weigh myself yesterday during my lunch break at it was 254.1 lbs. Don’t know how I feel about that. That is a nearly 2 lb. increase from the day before**

6/3 – 251.2 – Feeling like that is inaccurate based on yesterday’s weight, but if I compare it to Tuesday’s weight, I feel like I am on the right track. Went out for pizza with my mom and 8-year-old niece yesterday for lunch while the kids are visiting for the summer. Two slices alone totaled my daily recommended calories according to MFP when I searched and tracked the meal in my food diary. That makes me feel like I can’t enjoy those types of outings because it feels like a setback. If anyone has any advice regarding handling the feelings of failure and balancing that with still enjoying the little things, I will gladly take it.

Height = 5'4
Goal Weight = 134

Round Goals = Non-impact exercises x 4 days per week (healing post tib tendonitis so no running), IF 16/8, daily protein smoothie, 80+ oz of water daily. Lose 1.5 lbs this round.

6/1: 175.9
6/2: 175.8
6/3: 175.7 Slow and steady but I feel like a whoosh is due! Hoping next week (or sooner) to be able to ease back into some light exercise. Plan to be AF at least until Sunday, which should help the scale as well.

As always, thanks to Molly for guiding here and to GrandmaJackie for keeping this challenge going. I don't "say" much but I appreciate your experiences. Through life's ups and downs, we need this shared dedication to self improvement and support.

In have a few goals for this round:
- I will not eat anything I know I react badly to. No more taking the antidote as I'm poisoning myself. How crazy is that!
- Focus on my program goals so I work with Intention rather than go through the motions.
- Weight loss of 2 lbs.
- Five hard workouts with hard defined as a burn of 500 calories or more in an hour
- Three strength training sessions each: upper body, core, lower body

SW: 166.0 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment

6/1 ???.? lbs
6/2 ???.? lbs

6/3 169.0 lbs

Weighed in right after a 16oz coffee, and diet soda, and water. Not accurate but I've forgotten to record the past few days because I kept postponing for the "right time".

Weight upon waking is convenient but I like to track what I weigh during a typical day. Admittedly, I love being 3lbs lighter first thing in the morning. Sucks that this lowest weight of the day never makes it into my medical files. Lol!

06/02 …..203.0 ….. Woo Hoo! Lowest weight in a very long time. Good meal planning yesterday and no night time snack. Today my daughter is bring a Thai dinner home for me. Dinner will be late (about 9:00 pm). I will split it in half and have the other half tomorrow. I will eat a very light (late) lunch today, continue a morning fast and push water in anticipation of the sodium. I don’t want to undo what showed up on the scale this morning!

06/03 …..203.2 ….. No Thai food afterall because out-of-town restaurant was temporarily closed. Daughter ended up bringing home Taco Bell and dinner was late at 10:00 pm. No TMI today so I call the small uptick a gut issue. I am thrilled to still be around 203. I’m calling it a whoosh since it does seem to be sticking around.

Thanks @quiltingjaine

😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
June focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale

Aims:

2021 Focus:

Maintain weight < 150
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

[/color]
Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:

2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
That's a WIN in my book!
2021
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
(One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Round 152
June 1 - June 10, 2021

Went out for pizza with my mom and 8-year-old niece yesterday for lunch while the kids are visiting for the summer. Two slices alone totaled my daily recommended calories according to MFP when I searched and tracked the meal in my food diary. That makes me feel like I can’t enjoy those types of outings because it feels like a setback. If anyone has any advice regarding handling the feelings of failure and balancing that with still enjoying the little things, I will gladly take it.

@tffanynbowen89

First, it's never a failure, just a chance to learn what will work better next time for you. The key is planning ahead.

Here are some ideas that I've picked up over time from reading others on this forum (thank you everyone!). Believe me, it took me quite a while to be able to do what's suggested below and not feel like I blew it and then start bingeing for weeks.

Make outings like this part of your plan by looking ahead at their menu and deciding what fits within your calorie range.
Make the day you know you're going to eat more calories than within your range, a day you will eat at maintenance instead so no loss but no gain either.
Keep in mind that one day of eating over your calorie range will not set you back as long as you eat within your range the next day and not let it go on for days. You might have water weight if a lot of salt or carbs, but that's all.
Make all your other meals that day low calorie.
Don't go hungry to eat out, eat a light snack.
Lastly, two pieces of pizza doesn't sound like it could blow your complete calorie limit for the day so may be a food entry error in MFP.

Hope these help a little. Good Luck! You're going to do great because you're trying hard to make it work!
