Day/Weight/Comment
5/31- 215lb Been back on the wagon a few days, but today is my first day on the scales. Been part of this group before, like the accountability. Will try go to CrossFit today, need to drink plenty of water, been suffering from bad headaches these last three days- withdrawal from sugary rubbish food i think!
6/1- 213lb. Great way to start, feel starving all the time. Calories are set to 1850 per day, but due to attending CrossFit i will allow myself to go to 2000 when my body needs it. Dentist again today, so cals will be lower due to me not being able to eat much through the day. No workout today.
6/2- 212.2lb. Sticking well to calories at the moment. Plenty of water yesterday. I know it's only water weight at the moment, but im thrilled to see the scale go down. CrossFit this morning for a lifting session, then may go for a run depending on how i feel. Not getting much sleep recently , so may nap instead.
6/3- 210.6lb. Headaches are starting to fade, which is great news as they were really annoying me! My weight never usually drops this quick, even at the start of a clean eating phase, I put this down to weighing and logging everything. I've also got the mentality of 'diet is king' this time. Whereas before, I would think I could eat lots because I trained hard at CrossFit.
6/4- 211lb. Slight gain on the scale, but still 4lbs down in 5 days! Great partner session at CrossFit yesterday, it felt great to really push myself. Ate well and drank enough water- getting enough water in is always a challenge. Fair bit of travelling today, so will prep my meals beforehand to take with me.
6/5- 211.4lb. That's a 3.6lb loss for my first round, which I joined midway through. After the first couple of days I was wondering if I could go sub 210 this round, but I will get there soon. Will go for a short run today, nothing too heavy. Meals are planned in, including homemade greek chicken with olive salad and tzatiki for dinner tonight. Back to work after a week off this week, always find it harder to stay on track when working, binge at night!!!6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
5/27 172.2, but headed to the campground with Dad (91 yo) and granddaughter (2 yo), so… we shall see! Lol. I know I’ll get my steps in, though! I do have a healthy dinner already made and packed for tonight. Will try to do portion control on the comforting camping food tomorrow and Sunday with lots of water and some healthy options mixed in. These days are precious and won’t last long, though, so I have that to balance as well. It’s ok either way.
5/28 no scale
5/29 no scale
5/30 174 Expected. Had a wonderful weekend and will be back on track today! This little bump up should be gone in a couple days. Not worried.
5/31 174 Lots of exercise yesterday. Ate well except for a piece of Memorial Day cherry pie which I had planned for. I’m sore this morning, so that’s a good thing! This was my first day off for the summer, so I’m hoping to increase the activity level regularly for a while.
6/1 173.6 Worked all day yesterday cleaning out the garage, including four trips to the dump or donations site, so lots of steps and activity. I’m al little surprised not to be lower this morning. Today is my birthday. I have planned meals that will fit, but there will also be some ice cream at this cute little ice cream parlor my daughter wants to share with me. I have planned a short hike (short because my hubby will join me and he had major back surgery in January). It’s a gift that he is able to hike with me at all, so that will be special.
6/2 173.4 Easing back down, even after my birthday, so I’ll take that. Gonna have to push to get back to where I started, though, so, let’s call it a challenge!
6/3 171.6 WooHoo! Although I know some of this will come back, I’ll call this a win. I did pretty doggone good managing birthday treats and celebrations the last two days and planning them into my day so they didn’t sabotage my progress. I am regaining my “mojo” and focus on doing what is best for my body and health. This week has been much-needed progress on that mental front, for sure.
6/4 171.0 Another good day food wise, and activity is higher as well. Doing better with my water goals again also.
6/5 172.6 Well, that is disappointing. Ate really well yesterday, but had dinner at a restaurant. It did taste salty, but I was still hoping not to see this today, on the last day of the challenge. I am, however, considerably below where I was when I came home from camping, so that's a positive. Oh well, onward and downward from here then next round.5 -

Round 187 137.8 5/16/22 Harry 10 lb 14.0 oz Han Solo 11lb 11.5 oz
Goals:This round begins with a flight across country (Boston to Seattle) followed by three days of wedding celebration. If I can end the round as a net “0”. I think that will be a success.
The “boys”, AKA the cats, Harry and Han Solo, are going to get tracked once per round as well. Maybe this way I will not keep losing my data for them
SW: 137.8
Cats: Harry 10 lb 14.0 oz; Han Solo 11lb 11.5 oz (weight is from the beginning of round 187, cats were w/ DD)
5/27 – (no scale) So travel day went well enough. Was planning to thoroughly track but had no internet on the flight, and then was busy unpacking. Then out to dinner (the kids treated). Exercise was nil, BUT I made thoughtful food choices through the day so I am pleased enough with day one of this trip. Today, I face time change struggles (have been awake since 4:50 local time, then a “pacific rim” wine pairing even as lunch, followed by chilling in a movie (need to avoid that popcorn), then dinner at another winery, and then a 9 pm (midnight for my brain) “Welcome” of drinks and sweets. Going to just do my best and make thoughtful choices and try and monitor quantities. I would get out and walk, but my feet (morton’s neuromas) are angry with the shoes that made it on this journey.
5/28 – (no scale) Did well enough, though I am confident that I likely ate more than my goal calories. Today will be the wedding. That will have it’s own challenges.
5/29 – (no scale) Made it through the wedding. It was a very happy day for the bride and groom. Their original plans had been canceled due to COVID, like so very many. We were so happy for them that they finally got their special day. Calories were very off yesterday, and more minimal exercise. This morning is a brunch in my sister’s house. I think they invited all the wedding guests. While there home is nice, 150 people are not going to fit. Will be interesting. Plus it is food trucks and it is raining (Seattle is ALWAYS raining). Will be having to cut the brunch short to head back to airport, then fly home. Will be home at some point after midnight………. My goal is to remember to step on the scale tomorrow morning. AND I hope to see minimal damage.
5/30 – 137.0 Very glad for my reporting in here. When I stepped on the scale this morning, I was disappointed that I had “gained”. Well, I was wrong. I actually had a higher weight on the day I left, but had not remembered that. So, so far, my goal for this round of no worse than a “net 0”, is on track.
5/31 – 137.2 I neglected to report in yesterday as I was feeling crappy from a “cold”
6/1 – DNW Had a rough night and skipped the scale this morning. Then tested positive for COVID.
6/2 – DNW
6/3 – 136.6 Shocking to see a down. I have been eating terribly, lots of meds that cause fluid retention, and sleeping.
6/4 – DNW woke with raging headache and have been sleeping separate from hubby. Scale is in with him. Drank some decaf for the headache before there was a chance to get to the scale.
6/5 – 135.8 Harry 10 lb 10.5 oz; Han Solo 11lb 12.0 oz Well, I am actually very happy and grateful for a loss this round given all that has transpired. I hope to use this as motivation for doing well in the next round 189 when I hopefully have fewer distractions and any weight loos might be intentional. On another note, I need to watch Harry due to this strange drop in weight.5 -
Well, I just had a bit of a disappointing surprise while doing a proper edit of my word document, in preparation for round 189. Apparently, I never edited my starting weight in my round 188 document. I started at 135.6, and NOT 137.8. That higher number was from round 187. Oh, well. It does make more sense that I would have gained during those travels and wedding. But I'll be grateful that in the following days with COVID, the majority came back off. I ended up with a .2 gain instead of the loss reported above. I am OK with that! See you all at 189.5

Day/Weight/Calories/Comment
5/27 - 180.6
Calories were great until late…. Maybe I should go to bed earlier!
5/28 - 180.2
5/29 - 180.6
I did a lot of mulching and digging yesterday. I’m not sure I’ll ever catch up with the weeds—terrible this year! I’m almost but not quite tempted to use an herbicide. But no, I’ll keep attacking. I bought a new tool that’s good at getting under roots of pests like creeping Charlie. So off I go for some more weed wrangling! Good exercise, and for a purpose. Enjoy your Sunday!
5/30 - 180.6
Yesterday was soup day, my 22nd different soup this year. I made chicken fajita soup. Simple, quick, tasty, low-calorie—can’t beat that! Leftovers today.
5/31 - 180.4
Once again, I was hungry at night and ate, then ate more (popcorn, cheese). So I did some calculations and realize I’ve been maintaining within about 1.5 pounds on more calories than the estimators give me. I had MFP and SailRabbit both set on “not active,” but I have been pretty active in the garden and with the pup. So I think cutting too low during the day is leaving me hungry at night, and when I eat I prime the pump to eat more. I’m going to try increasing my daytime intake of healthy foods slightly, to about 90% of maintenance, to forestall the urge to eat at night and see if that works.
6/01 - 180.4
Ok, stayed below maintenance, ate a little more during the day and didn’t feel so hungry last night.
6/02 - 182
Mexican food, lots of salt, plus ice cream last night. It will drop off. Otoh, my first Double Delight rose for this year opened! Here’s to all of you!
6/03 - 182
Sigh. But, more salt so no surprise. I’ll try to clean up my salt act today. I did get in 2 hours of walking through fields in my tracking class, and my pup did great his first time tracking (following the scent) someone other than me. We both came home pooped!
6/04 - 182.8
What? My calories have not been overboard. The only thing I can think of is that we had pork loin Thurs dinner and the leftover last night, and I don’t usually eat pork or beef. No idea why that would do it, but maybe? I dunno. I don’t need hugs, but I am pretty disgusted. Otoh, I got my new blender/processor yesterday and look forward to a nice low-cal smoothie later! Happy Saturday!
6/05 - 181
I consider this round a draw, which figures in light of my re-calculation of maintenance calories—I’m right on the number for my round average. My running average is up because of 3 crazy days due, I think, to salt and whatever goes on when I eat pork or beef. Anyway, I’m feeling a little more in control, so onward. See you next round!Goal for 2022-2023 Progress

05/30 …..203.4 ….. (Trend weight 203.6)
06/01 …..203.4 ….. (Trend weight 203.6) I decided to cancel the heart doctor yesterday and go to a different medical group which is affiliated with a much better hospital. It will also coordinate my medical records much better since I have other doctors in the same system. I first chose the other because it is only about 2 hours away and the place that most folks around my area go. But I changed my mind for all the reasons above. The appointment is on June 14th I think so I won’t have to wait long. I think it will be worth the extra drive. My weight and trend weight is exactly the same as yesterday. I had a bit of a binge last night due to having too light of a dinner. It was not garbage food but was still too many calories and carbs. I’ll plan a better dinner today. I was painting all day yesterday with a very strong smelling paint in the 91 degree heat. No appetite until I was clean and in bed.
06/02 ……204.4 ….. (Trend weight 203.6) Cereal last night probably did me in. Milk always affects me with bloating too and I used regular 2%. Travel today and an interview with a new handyman this morning so it’s going to be a tight fast-paced day.
06/03 ……204.8 ….. (Trend weight 203.8) Well….the NSV is that I didn’t bring any garbage food home from out of town. No TMI today or weight may have been the same. Pushing water today, very low hydration yesterday. 3 hours of sleep last night.
06/04 ……204.4 ….. (Trend weight 203.8) No TMI x 2. Low calorie burn yesterday. Low step count. However, Plenty of sleep last night due to very little sleep the night before. Happy to see a nearly ½ pound drop on the scale. Probably because I hit just over 8 hours of sleep which is double my usual. Low level energy today and yesterday. A lot of fatigue. Probably my glucose levels causing it. It’s very unusual for me to feel this way.
06/05 ……204.6 ….. (Trend weight 203.6) Up a smidge. Likely due to inactivity. Up a lot this round from the start. Got to start moving!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Day/Weight/Comment
5/27: 131.6 - New low weight for me and marks 40 pounds down from where I started on September 7, 2021. Normal workouts (Jazzercise and a walk) and normal eating (mostly leftovers) and pretty good sleep.
5/28: 132.3 - Between eating breakfast (which I normally skip) and some nibbles with a friend when he stopped by in the afternoon, I ate every single calorie I allotted for the day including my exercise calories. Still struggling to get my recommended amount of protein.
5/29: 133.4 - Carbs! Carbs! Carbs! Pretty much what I ate all day.
5/30: 133.2 - Ate better, but still carb and fat heavy. It really is a pain (at least to me) to balance macros.
5/31: 132.7 - Busy day yesterday. Got my workout in and then was busy preparing for having friends over for dinner yesterday, a picnic near Carmel and drinks/appetizers/dinner at our house with friends today. Dinner last night was canceled due to a Covid exposure (them), but I was more than half-way done with all the prep. That’s okay - froze what I could, repurposed some of the items for today’s events and will be having good lunches and dinners the rest of the week.
6/1: 134.7 - Went down to Pt. Lobos State Park (one of the most beautiful areas) yesterday, but didn’t get much exercise all day since we were with other people that like to stop a lot on the walk. Came home and then hosted some friends for drinks/appetizers and that was my downfall - all the cheese, all the bread, all the cookies.
6/2: 133.6 - Everything trending back to normal with my workouts and eating. I’m getting in a bad habit of nibbling on things after dinner because I have calories left. It’s never things like fruit either. Will work on breaking the cycle.
6/3: 134.3 - Normal workouts, but ate too many desserts.
6/4: 135.1 - Not the right direction this round. Finally, most of the party food is out of the house. My focus is on getting protein and cutting back on the sugary stuff. This is the biggest slide I’ve had in 9 months and I will nip it in the bud!
6/5: 133.2 - Back into maintenance range. A little surprised since yesterday’s meals showed me over in sodium and carbs. Yesterday was the first day in awhile that sugar was under control. I’m off for a one-day backpacking trip so I’ll see you all on Tuesday!

Day/Weight/Comment
5/27 / 163 / At the airport for our flight to Vancouver for a weekend getaway. Won't be able to weigh in again until Monday but I'll be here to check in.
5/28 / DNW / Great first day in Vancouver yesterday with us getting almost 30,000 steps. Ate a lot more food than usual. Had some stomach issues that weren't fun but I managed through them. Looking forward to another fun day tomorrow.
5/29 / DNW / Did the Grouse Grind hike which is short but steep - they call it nature's stairmaster for a reason. Finished in 1 hr 20 mins which is ahead of the average and I feel good today. Good to see all that exercise is paying off. We had an amazing seafood brunch too. Iconic trip! Off to Cirque du Soleil today before we head to thr airport. Back on the scale tomorrow.
5/30 / 170.4 / Got off the plane less than 10 hours ago and feeling puffy for sure! Back to work and regular life today after an amazing trip.
5/31 / 169 / Busy work day, some cooking and cleaning, a dog walk, and a Peloton ride. Falling into bed!
6/1 / 166.2 / Travel bloat is rolling off me now. I rode the Peloton last night and had a lot of steps. Food was on point. Almost back to my maintenance range!
6/2 / 165 / Back to maintenance range after 3 days. Last night my husband and I were at the eye doctor for most of the evening, but we did get a walk in. Supper plans got thrown out the window when traffic delayed us but we chose take-out that fit within our calories.
6/3 / 162.8 / Day started well and went down. I am in a terrible head space today... the kind I used to turn to food to soothe. That won't solve anything in this case.
6/4 / 160.6 / After putting my grumpy self to bed last night quite early, I feel reset today. The weather is supposed to be rainy so I'll hopefully get my steps in early. No matter what, I'm aiming to get 10,000 steps today.
6/5 / 162.2 / Ended up hitting my goal weight right on the button for this round. Yesterday was good as the rain held off and we were able to get the boat out for some fishing. We also had a campfire. Today I woke up anxious due to work and family health considerations. I have a busy week ahead as well so I think I just have a lot on my mind. See you in the next round!4 -

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.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for almost 5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

5/27 119.0 GKI 13 Ate 6 prunes last night to “keep things moving”😁
5/28 118.0 GKI 9.8 Good day yesterday
5/29 119.0 GKI 9.8 We went to Carlito’s, I had the stuffed 1/2 sopapilla with a sopapilla and honey for dessert. Hadn’t been there in ages and it tasted so good! Way to many carbs may explain my head busting headache this morning. SUGAR HANGOVER IS REAL!
5/30 119.0 GKI 9.9 Memorial Day community events today. Flag raising and remembering those who have been lost. Picnic in the afternoon with not great food choices. Great Greek yesterday. Memorial Day picnic this afternoon-mostly not low carb foods. Not going to sweat it. Have a blessed Memorial Day and remember those who have served and their families and made the supreme sacrifice.
5/31 119.5 GKI 18, Burger, hot dog, 2 bites of potato salad, 2 cookies at the picnic NO BUNS
6/1 119.0 GKI 18.2 Cal 964 TC 19 (18 from Brussels sprouts) Pro 59 F 39 including 3 oz of vodka
6/2 120.0 GKI 12.0 Worked at daughter’s school library covering books yesterday - lots of standing, not many steps, and not enough water! Dinner at Golden Corral. Tonight Super Summer Theater
6/3 120.5 GKI 9.7 Had a hot dog and bun, popcorn that was so salty it burned my tongue but I ate it anyway, and didn’t drink enough water. It’s all good.
6/4 119.5 GKI 7.9 Washer and dryer delivery attempt #2. Delivery guy said (last week) that if he didn’t install, it would void all warranties. So we had to check with LG and Home Depot and found out that’s not true. Hopefully this will bring to a close the stressful week.
6/5 120.0 GKI 9.6 Perhaps at this stage of life sodium is affecting my weight. Had a small bowl of ham and beans yesterday and they seemed so salty. I had made them in March and had them in the freezer. Oh well. Baby shower today for our granddaughter who is 4 weeks from due date - our first great grand. At a nice restaurant with little to no control over available foods. It is what is and will be what will be! It’s called LIFE!
Does anyone know where MFP has hidden the weight graph? I think I’ve clicked everything trying to find it. I really wish they would quit changing things!
I FOUND IT! 😁😁😁

Going fishing in Alaska with my dad at the end of June and I don’t want to feel this large and miserable. Glad to be back.
5/27-170 Weed wacked in the morning then went to yoga and ate a healthy dinner.
5/28-169 Went to work on weed abatement where I volunteer. Got 5 miles in walking, pushing the weed mower there. Made turkey meatloaf, mashed cauliflower and gravy.
5/29-169-Got about 5 miles in working on weed abatement again and worked in our yard. Attended an outdoor wedding.
5/30-172-Sedentary and consumed heavy food. Today is a new day and I’m heading back to where I volunteer and will be working on their weeds. They have a weed trimmer that I push, so I get a lot of steps in while working.😊
5/31-168-ate well, rode the horse no bread....
6/1-168-Meatloaf sandwich for lunch and a light dinner. Rode the horse and walked 2.5 miles after dinner.
6/2-169-Food choices were a bit heavy. Weed wacked at home, rode the horse then more yard work. No walk, but it’s supposed to cool down. Off to yoga this morning then a long needed massage.
6/3-170-Chiroprator this morning, then errands. Worked in the yard until dark after eating BBQ chicken and ribs.
6/4-167-I keep a big container of mixed nuts in my car and I always have coffee or water with me and it makes me never buy fast food on the way home however, sometimes it takes me a while to get home and I eat a pile of nuts. Portion control is what I need to work on.
6/5-170- Dang, those two little burritos I ate for breakfast before I worked outside all day and got 3 miles in, weren’t very nice to me.4 -
Round # 53 for me!
SW: 359.0 (6000 step goal, goal to lose 2 to 3 lbs. each challenge, go to bed by 11:30, no eating out more than once every 10-day challenge)
Day/Weight/Comment (previous day steps)
5/27 360.2 2646 I am not worried about the gain. I had some salty Chinese food. I will drop this in 2 days. I will be on a mini vacation with a friend for 2 days Monday to Wed of next week. I am going to enjoy and be mindful and not go crazy. The weather is going to be hot so I probably will not go walking a lot. But I should have enough time to still lose at least 3 pounds this round. I will not be able to weigh for 2 days but I will be tracking my food.
5/28 360.2 2752 I have not been doing good on steps for the last couple of weeks. Watching the French open.
5/29 360.2 4057
5/30 361 3201 – Going on a mini getaway in the city for a few days with a friend. Nothing fancy. No planes. About 30 minutes away. I will be by myself the last 2 days which will be blissful. I just added those 2 days on. I will work on Thursday from hotel because I will not be able to take that day off. My goal is to maintain my weight this round and to be mindful of my choices and try to log as much as possible and move. It is going to be hot 2 of the says so that will be challenging for me, but the hotel has a health club I will check out.
5/31 VAC 5977 – no scale
6/01 VAC 7525 – no scale
6/02 VAC 5999 – I will be back in town tomorrow. Had an awesome time! I feel like I am up more. I will know for sure on Saturday what the damage is
6/03 VAC – no scale
6/04 367.6
6/05 367.6 – Well no surprise here. I had a great time and will be back to business tomorrow. I have been tracking all foods as of yesterday. I will see everyone in round 189!

In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010, weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Outpatient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO, the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively every day. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Every day I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us. 5 -
JMarie – Newcomer – My Round 1 – I joined on May 26th, 2022.
Age 65 – Canadian
SW: 180
GW: 145
Goal for this round – I’ve slipped into habits that I want to change. My goals for this round will be small ones, but these are goals that I hope will help me start to form better habits again. I need to be consistent in healthy behaviours. Exercise 20 minutes per day minimum. Drink 3 glasses of water per day minimum. Keep a food and exercise journal.
Day/Weight/Comment
5/27 – 179.4 – I walked on the treadmill for 20 minutes. Got a few groceries and walked around the store. 20 minutes on recumbent bike. 10 minutes stretching it out. Drank the water. Kept the journal. Pedometer steps 6880.
5/28– 179 – We went to the local thrift shops today. After lunch a bit of weed digging (30 minutes), 20 minutes on recumbent bike. 20 minutes on the treadmill. Drank the water. Kept the journal. Calories within limit. 5100 steps.
5/29 – 179 – This morning we cooked. Instant pot Beef and Cabbage soup and Instant pot Saskatoon berry cobbler. After lunch I had a long nap. My batteries were dead. Drank the water and kept the journal. 500 steps.
5/30 – 179.4 – This morning we cut the grass. Ate leftovers for lunch. Drank the water. Kept the journal. After lunch I looked at some genealogy. FMP has British newspapers free right now. 2900 steps
5/31 – 179.6 – We took the bottles to the recycle depot and then walked at the park for 30 minutes. Met my goals. Quiet day again. Laundry and genealogy.
6/1 – 180.2 – Today I did some office work and some more laundry. I was tired and needed to rest again. I’ve been good about keeping my journal. This is an important habit for me. I need to increase my activity again.
6/2 – 179.6 – Today we went to the city to pick up some stucco. The stucco man is coming tomorrow (we hope) to finish the repairs to our front flower box. We went to Costco and walked about. At 8:30 this morn I had an aura and didn’t feel great today. Had a bit of a headache but not too bad.
6/3 – 179.6 – Stucco man came and husband helped him get the flower box repaired. The morning was lovely. Perfect for the job to get done. About noon the wind came up. It was very windy. Husband needed a nap and I made more instant pot cobbler. I have some Saskatoons in the freezer that need to be used up. I am tinkering with the recipe, trying to adjust sugar etc. Frozen Saskatoons tend to get a bit tough, so I’m hoping to use the instant pot to improve them a bit, and I think it is working.
6/4 – 178.8 – We went to the NoFrills for some of the sales this morning. A bit rainy this morning and some wind. Too much wind for the gardening we had planned to do. We did some chores around the house. Made a batch of muffins.
6/5 – 178.8 – Today was some gardening. We made instant pot hamburger soup. It was windy and pollen is very bad this year. My seasonal allergies are bad. Did some chores and some genealogy.
Round 1 – I lost .6 of a pound. I actually have felt better lately. 2020 and 2021 and beginning of 2022 saw me tired right out. It was like my batteries were dead. I would be tired out from very light activity and need lots of naps. As far as I know I haven’t had Covid or any other virus. Now, I’m actually able to get something accomplished without needing to sleep (most days anyway). I kept a journal of my food and didn’t do any mindless snacking. But, I didn’t restrict calories. For Round 1 it is enough that I improved the quality of my food and that my energy level improved.

ROUND 188
starting a little late: weighing every day will be difficult, i usually only weigh in on sunday. i've been bouncing back and forth with my weight, a tiny gain, a tiny loss. think i will add a little exercise to the dieting plan.
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE👍👍

5/28
5/29: 179.2 30 minute walk @2.5mph 1691 calories
5/30: 178.6 1193 calories
5/31: 176.6 30 minute walk @ 2.5 mph 1254 calories
6/1 : 178 1100 calories (and there is the bounce. not letting it bother me, 'cause my normal weigh in is sunday. when i report my weight on sunday i'll still have lost some). not sure if i'll be walking for a little while. i have arthritis in the hips. the walk yesterday i wasn't sure if i would make it home. healthy weight must come with a healthy body.
6/2 : 178, 1538 calories. going to have to do better. i caught myself "boredom" eating. i will be sure to set higher standards of myself tomorrow.
6/3 : 178.2, 1224 calories not a bad day. disappointed with my sandwiches. i used to make them with joseph's flax, oat bran, wheat lavish bread. the grocery store didn't have that when i went shopping. decided to buy pepperidge farm very thin whole wheat. it'll be excellent for toast, but for sandwich? naaah. making a mental note to buy extra joseph's when they're back... i'll freeze it.
6/4 : 178.6 1609 calories. was my calorie intake poor choices? i don't think so. it's disappointing to see my weight continue to go up.... but there's other things to consider. i haven't been able to walk for several days, and my quitting smoking has been going very well. i am still using the step 2 patch, but sometimes i forget to replace it, and when stress triggers the "i NEED a cigarette" i'm able to fight past the urge. maybe i'm seeing things right/wrong. i've consumed 350 less calories this week than needed to "maintain" without the exercise, so my weight is probably right where it should be.
6/5 : 180.2 1037 calories. hmmmm. not really understanding how the app keeps telling me i'll weigh less in 5 weeks, but my weight keeps going up. it's proving to be quite the disappointment.

5/31 - 196.5 - And so it begins. I weighed, measured, took pictures, and started PiYo.
6/1 – 195.3 – I managed to complete all my daily goals yesterday. The extra water had to be the hardest.
6/2 – 195.5 – My body is a bit sore from Piyo but it’s a great feeling that my body is getting stronger. The daily goals have been forming a solid routine and structure for my day. And I’ve been sleeping better – Bonus!
6/3 – 195.0 - Oh my goodness, more water = more trips to the restroom – I feel like a water fountain!
6/4 – 194.8 – I slept in which was fabulous, but it was a day full of yard and house work (after Piyo) so I am tiiiiired.
6/5 – 195.8 – Having some significant muscle soreness from all the yardwork yesterday. I let today be a rest day and only focused on staying within my calorie range.

Round 188 ( my 120th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Need to crack down, some of my clothes are beginning to feel a little uncomfortable, like to lose a couple of pounds this round, but any is a loss!!!!Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.SW: 138.4

Day/Weight/Comment
5/27 138.4 – no structured exercise, childminding 3 little DGC, all 3 or under. Stayed overnight at DS to childmind again tomorrow, but jut the 1 year old this time.
5/28 138.2 – 9.33 miles walked yesterday, including a good half a mile or so of very very steep hill – that was hard work!! Two hours last night of latin & ballroom dancing, a good practice session!! At last managing to catch up with logging and others posts.
5/29 139.2 – not surprised, an Indian meal out with DFs, high in sodium not doubt, I expected it could have been higher! 8.7 miles walked, calories over; all exercise calories eaten back. Trying a new strategy; eating more calorific filling meals and avoiding ALL snacks in between.
5/30 138.2 - Our youngest DGD 1st birthday yesterday and there was a family bbq to celebrate followed by birthday cake and prosecco; tried to keep within calories as best I could and no more eating after 2.00pm. No structured walking as it is a 2 hour travel each way.
5/31 138.2 – 10.43 miles walked. Met up with DF to have our nails done & then lunch, she gets married tomorrow. (So many weddings at the moment!) Did eat more than I had planned, but it kept me full for the rest of the day and so I did not have any evening meal.
6/1 137 – no structured exercise, heavy rain, hail and thunder prevented walking . DF's wedding this afternoon, food is a hog roast, will try to stay within calories & walking to and from church from reception venue (almost a mile each way). Hoping the weather stays dry for them.
6/2 137.6 - Ate clean at the wedding, felt good when we came away, no structured walking.
6/3. 138.6 - 3.5 hours travelling down to Salisbury towing our caravan, caught up with friends not seen since last year, a bit lax with food & drink, 3 miles walked lazily whilst chatting!!
6/4 DNW - 13..6 miles walked yesterday, indulged in platinum jubilee celebrations last night. Started the day with rain & forecast all day, will have to try to get some walking in.
6/5 DNW – 7.86 miles walked yesterday dodging rain showers!! Jubilee party this afternoon. Congrats to Her Majesty.
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE. Keep calm – Covid is still out there despite lifting of practically all restrictions, take care, remain vigilant we're still in this together!

/ 0 / Coming off a very social 3 day weekend. We had house guests, so DW hid the usually prominent scale. And of course, plenty of family feasting. We have some trips in July which involve a lot of hiking and biking, so I plan to use the month of June re-awaken some of those muscles.
I am way behind on reading (4 pages) all of your posts. ☹
On a bright note, my parents sold their house over the weekend! All of our hard work paid off. DW woke up this morning and said, “What a funny feeling, I have nor pressure!”

/ Spinning Class (Sprint) at gym / It has been a long time since I last went to the gym. Illness, and helping parents was a legitimate part of that. So was laziness.
6/02: 217
/ zero / Calories were good. I was hoping for a pound less than this.
6/03: 216
/ mowed grass / Fridays are traditionally a bit rough because I have a Rotary Club lunch meeting on Thursday. The caterer always does a wonderful job. I try not to eat a lot on Thursday evenings, but DW made venison taco salads….
Have good weekends everyone.
6/04: 217
/ nada / Went to a movie with DW and friends. Downton Abby: A new Era. I thought it was good, even though I lobbied for Top Gun Maverick and lost. 😊 I guess I am not top gun.
6/05: 216
/ fishing / Had a wonderful time with DS and DGS.
Just a bunch of churning this round. I have a hard time not associating holidays with eating.
