Day/Weight/Calories/Comment

6/16 - 179.6
One good thing about very hot weather—I don’t feel like eating much, and I crave light salads rather than fat. 😁

6/17 - 179.6
Tonight is our obedience club’s awards banquet, but I’ll try to behave myself. At least it isn’t a pitch in with a tableful of luscious desserts. Happy Friday, all!

6/18 - 181.8
Well, I tried, but not hard enough. I ate a crazy number of calories last night. Oh, well, moving right along…. I did not gain 2 pounds of fat overnight, so lots of water and and “normal” eating should put me back on track. The banquet was lots of fun, celebrating some outstanding achievements by dogs and their people.

6/19 - 180.2
Ok, better.

6/20 - 180.6
I got so busy this morning, I forgot to check in. Duh!

6/21 - 180.6
Gonna be a scorcher—98F forecast. I’m off to doggy school now. Have a good day, all!

6/22 - 180.6
Has anyone else tried GenoPalate! They use DNA to make nutritional recommendations. I just got my results and haven’t had time to go through the whole report, but I find the macros portion interesting. For me, they recommend 18-24% protein, 57-65% carbs, mostly complex, and 24-32% fats, with no more that 9% saturated. I’ve been eating MUCH more fat/sat fat than that, and not as much protein or carbs, but the recommended balance makes perfect sense to me when I think of times when I felt great and lost weight or maintained at a good weight. I’m going to strive to eat within their recommendations for a while and see what happens. The big challenge will be cutting back on cheese. 😁 I just wondered whether anyone else here has tried GenoPalate.

6/23 - 179
Finally! But switching my macros around is a challenge, since I’ve been eating pretty high fat for months. Slowly, slowly! And for fun stuff, my pup Rory earned his Intermediate Trick Dog title on Monday. Now we’re off to do some tracking before it gets too hot. Woof!

6/24 - 178.4
Last night I successfully fought off the snack monster. Yay! I feel a shift in attitude. I’m still trying to lower my fat macro numbers, but am making a little progress. Bit by bit. Happy to see the scale cooperating! Happy Friday, all!

6/16 194.0 (+1.0) I’m not hungry all the time like I’ve been over the last few weeks. Hopefully that’s a good sign.
6/17 193.6 (+.6) Heading out for a long walk with my dogs today before it gets too hot.
6/18 193.8 (+.8) I had an indulgence meal last night…pizza. I ate four slices and immediately threw the other half in the trash. I know, from experience, if it’s in my refrigerator, soon or later it will leap into my mouth. Somehow, the trash can prevents that from happening.

6/19 194.2 (+1.2) Here’s the bump from the indulgence meal. Today is our first 5 mile hike of the year, 5.78 miles with 938 ft of elevation gain to be exact, and I’m grateful that despite how much I’ve mistreated my body over the years, I can hike in beautiful places and keep pushing forward.
6/20 193.6 (+.6)
6/21 194.3 (+1.3) Hiked yesterday (two days in a row) and swam today. My first swim day at the new rec. center. It’s further away from my house, but not too bad. Eating is still a bit off track, but I’m getting back on my exercise routine. Pretty happy about that.
6/22 194.4 (+1.4)
6/23195.4 (+2.4)
6/24 194.5 (+1.4) Even though I’m not posting here every day, I’m exercising and drinking my water. The food is still a struggle. I have a meal service and have five meals (lunch/dinner) delivered each week. It has been really helpful and starting next week, they are going to make it simple and provide lots of veggies and protein without sauces. They’ve been providing healthy meals, but I need to get back to basics. Yesterday, I swam a mile in the pool. It was a new time record for me at 65 minutes.

Hi, I’m Kathy.
57, F, 5’8”
16th round! Rebooting my lifestyle after several false starts. I need accountability to make sure it gets done.

Return to MFP SW (Dec 2021): 267
HSW: 267
RSW: 230.6
UGW for now: 195, then reevaluate

Goal for this round: less than I started with
2022 goals: move more (okay, move some), eat mindfully

Day/Weight/Comment
6/16 231.0 Ugh. Been letting job stress get to me and not sleeping well. Time to buckle down and break this plateau this round. Welcome new friends!
6/17 230.6 I’m approaching a problematic place. Feeling really discouraged on this plateau and didn’t bother to log in until mid-afternoon, where normally I’m on first thing in the morning logging breakfast. I must keep looking forward. I’ve been in this place before and given up, but I’m not going back this time.
6/18 230.8
6/19 230.2
6/20 231.0 Trying to lower my carb intake and see what that does for this plateau. Father’s Day yesterday didn’t help, and today’s my son’s birthday. But I’m doing my best.
6/21 230.8 Work was absolutely full of pressure yesterday so I didn't get to post.
6/22 229.2 Finally. I think the reason I was so frustrated about not getting here earlier is because this officially drops me from obese class II to class I. That’s incredibly exciting for me. And I’m sure I’ll still bounce around but this is a tremendous positive move. Thank you all for your support!
6/23 229.0 The low-er carb options seem to be helping. Meals for today are planned and logged.
6/24 228.0 I think it’s safe to say that lowering my carbs definitely helped. Friday is pizza night at our house, so tonight may be a bit of a challenge. Otherwise, meals are planned and logged. Have a great weekend, y’all!

Thanks quiltingjaine for another round! This is #2 for me. I’m a 40 year old single mom with sole custody of my two younger children (oldest is grown). I let stress & depression take control of me years ago and when the pandemic hit that surely didn’t help. Once upon a time I was a fitness buff. Now I’m trying to shed my biggest gain ever (more than any pregnancy) and rebuild muscle. Still battling some long CoVID symptoms but determined to get back into shape & do the things I love. Started this journey 4/4/22 at 180lbs.

R189: SW - 171.5 / EW - 170.0 (-1.5)
————————————————————
6/16 - 169.3 (-.7) - Took an easy day yesterday because of the DOM’s. I was under my calories in the evening but noticed I ate past being full. Breaking that no waste habit is hard. Scale didn’t go up this morning so that’s good, might show tomorrow. I owe a friend a celebratory dance & I’m trying to finish work early (self employed) so I can hit the lake this afternoon. 💧 160 oz. (over), 👟10,795 (met), 💪 30 min. light rowing, ⛑ +19 (211).
"It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.” - Mahatma Gandhi

6/17 - 169.9 (+.6) - There’s that uptick I was expecting. Got in my water time swimming & kayaking. Easily under my calories and that included beer and a cookie, felt full all day. I still owe that dance. 💧132 oz. (over), 👟10,438 (met), 💪 118 min. continuous paddling ⛑ +29 (215).
“Doing what you love is freedom. Loving what you do is happiness” - Lana Del Ray

6/18 - 170.1 (+.2) - Caught up with some old friends and that put me on a carb high but I made use of the energy and slept like a baby. I’m making some great progress fitness wise & am tempted to hike my first 14-er in nearly 20 years. We’ll see how I train the next 30 days before I attempt it (main concern - CoVID recovering lungs).💧160 oz. (over), 🥗 under, 👟11,032 (met), 💪 80 min. Rowing, strength training, 9 min. Dancing & 15 min. Tai Chi,⛑ +61 (231).
"DON'T LIMIT YOUR CHALLENGES. CHALLENGE YOUR LIMITS!”

6/19 - 169.5 (-.6) - PTSD triggered again yesterday evening when fireworks startled me while watering the lawn. Needless to say, Mental satiety took priority at that point. Treating my Pops today so it will be challenging stay within my calorie goal. 💧144 oz. (over), 🥗 easily under w/ great macros, 💪 100 min. Rowing + strength training 👟6,462 (under), ⛑ +23 (236).
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you
must keep moving.” - Albert Einstein

6/20 - 169.2 (-.3) - Just about where I was at the start of this challenge but I’m sure weight will rise again. 🥗 over by 313 but I already knew that was going to happen & I’m okay with it. 💧132 oz. (over) 💪 15 min. rowing + half the day putting in a new fence at my parents farm 👟 11,145 (met), ⛑ +37 (251).
“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.” - Colin Powell

6/21 - 169.4 (+.2) - 💧132 oz. (over), 🥗 under, 💪 2.5hrs. Stand up paddle boarding. Would have been more but relentless winds kicked up. 👟 8,837 (shy) maybe I shouldn’t have sat around on the beach so long hoping to get back on the water ⛑ +28 (268).
“Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.” - Napoleon Hill

6/22 - 168.2 (-1.4) - 💧176 oz. (over) 🥗 under, 💪 20 min. Rowing + 30 min. Zumba 👟11,846 ⛑ +32 (282). Got ahead with work so hoping to escape to lake again to continue practicing freestyle SUP tricks.
“You never fail until you stop trying.” - Albert Einstein

6/23 - 166.7 (-1.5) - 132 oz. (met), 🥗 under, 💪 35 min. dancing + 90 min. SUP 👟10,203, ⛑ +23 (286) - celebrated several folks progress busting some moves & got in a little bit more lake fun before storm clouds came over the water.
"When we choose to trust the journey and embrace love and joy, we are free to fly.” - Annicken R. Day

6/24 - 167.1 (+.5) - This is expected & not a real gain, heavy food & inflamed muscles.💧160 oz. (over) 🥗 Over (by 80) & not gonna sweat it 💪 14 min. Dancing, strength training, 1hr. Hatha Yoga + 30 min. moderate Rowing 👟 8,589 ⛑ +21 (280) Put in 13hrs. at work but took intermittent breaks to exercise and made sure to make up for it before bed. Will be driving much of today so I’ll use it as an R&R. My Mom lives rural and I need to take her downtown for several doctors appointments. Going to squeeze in a matinee to see Elvis.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/15 …..206.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
06/16 …..204.2 ….. (Trend weight 205.0)
06/17 …..203.2 ….. (Trend weight 204.8)
06/18 …..205.2 ….. (Trend weight 204.8) 06/19 …..203.0 ….. (Trend weight 204.7)
06/20 …..204.0 ….. (Trend weight 204.6)
06/21 ……202.2 ….. (Trend weight 204.4) No water pill yesterday so I am happy to see such a nice overnight drop after a day of such restriction. It was a very good day on the diet front, but lousy on the movement front. Today I travel to finish the root canal (if tooth is not cracked down inside). It is expected to hit 100 degrees today, very unusual for northern Michigan. Thank God I will be out of town where there will be A/C in the drs office, the stores, the restaurant and in my car. I am taking my son to a steak house which is a real treat for us. Nothing like that around home! I will try to order something small but I’m not gonna lie, I know I will enjoy the sides. I will not be bring donuts home! The city I go to has the best…… oh, never mind!

06/22 ……205.2 ….. (Trend weight 204.5) WTH? 3 pounds overnight? Can’t be! I traveled yesterday and had my root canal completed by an endodentist. It feels so much better. I did eat one meal out but I thought it was very reasonable at the steak house. I even brought part of it home for son’s lunch today. The only contributing factors I can think of is that I have not taken the prescribed water pill for the two days prior, and I did not get any sleep last night (3 hours). I know my calories and carbs were over, but that is ridiculous. Today will be a very careful day.

06/23 ……203.0 ….. (Trend weight 204.3) Counted the calories and carbs all day but ended up with a shaky glucose drop around 7:00 pm. I carefully chose a snack but it did put me over calorie and carb count and more into the maint. Range. I did a nice 24 minute workout session with my son last night dancing to some great classic songs. I did take my water pill yesterday so I am wondering about the puff-up yesterday (no pill day before) and the drop today (after pill yesterday). It sure is hard to track what is really going on with that in the mix. I will just have to trust the process that if I am complying then I am progressing on this journey. And I’ll still watch all the numbers from food, to exercise, to weight. It just will not be an exact science at this point. Watching my trend weight will help too. Come on Onderland!

06/24 ……203.2 ….. (Trend weight 203.2) A small fluctuation I’m sure. I like that my trend weight is still going down. My dining room bay window went in yesterday. Today they work outside on the little roof over it and more supports. The drywall inside is tore all to Haites, but they are trying to work on projects that involve the outdoors on non-rainy days. So drywall will be some other day. In a week or two maybe. The window already looks lovely. It will help keep the birds from bamming into the window now because this one has grids, and will bring much needed air into the room as it has two windows and the other window had zero. Triple win!

06/25 ……xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Day/Weight/Steps/Active minutes/Comment

6/16 - 172.3* - 22,500 / 159. I am half way through my June watch challenge and I am just over my kms but its going to be hard to finish. Right now it says I need to do 13.1 km/day. I have 3 days that I am going to be pretty busy and getting 13 kms in could be hard. I'm not sure my watch knows that I have a desk job!! I'm looking forward to seeing some 6's .... Welcome all to the challenge!! Let's do this!!
6/17 - 171.1 - 17,100 / 100. Went to Costco it's out of town but did manage to get a few good steps in.
6/18 - 169.7* - 14,600. / 108. Happy to see that 6! Treated myself to a pedicure, very happy feet. Now I’m going to go push them and go for a long walk. Sorry feet! My oldest is in Vegas this weekend sending me lots of pictures of fun and sun. I am quite jealous. 4 years ago I was in Vegas and 19 lbs lighter. … I WILL BE THERE AGAIN! Well maybe not Vegas but some kind of a vacation. Have a wonderful Saturday All.
6/19 - 168* - 36,200 / 248. Got in a good walk 23 km. Then what I call a hot sauna bath and after made cookies for an upcoming Celebration of Life I’ve got some more to make and only tested 2!! Most of this loss is water and TMI and a balancing of some jump ups. Happy Father’s Day too all the Dads out there.
6/20 - 167.2 - 29,500 / 197. Had a good walk visited my Dad had a good dinner and an adult beverage. Looks like I need to adjust my calories and exercise calories. Have some concerns.
6/21 - 167.5* - 21,000 / 145. Smaller walk more calories no TMI. So I'm probably stable. My muscles are a little achy today, maybe the weather is changing and I'm hit the 'old person weather predictor' stage in life. lol Wishing you all a great day!!
6/22 - 167.4* - 21,500 / 170. Adding a few more calories (got some cheese puffs that I overheard a WW girl has as her best for her snack) , still working on my June walking challenge goal. SO called to say his part of the job has been cancelled now waiting to hear if that means he's coming home.
6/23 - 167 - 20,900 / 139. Got my 2 walks in, working well towards my 398.1 km goal and the sun is actually shining today!!

6/24 - 165.8* - 20,400 / 135. Watched my son play ball and the other one came to watch as well. Great night. Love Love summer nights!! Hit a new goal but there might be some bouncing, still taking it.

Thanks @quiltingjaine for another round.

Hi, I’m Debbie. I’ve been absent for the last two rounds. We have been emptying, cleaning and getting my MIL’s house and 1.5 acres of property ready to sell. Hopefully it’s close and I can get back to my own stuff.

@JbeanR0212 I love reading your congratulatory notes! You are our cheerleader SUPREME! 😘

RockinRobyn672 · June 2022

@joans1976 Thanks! I did drink one between two beers and it really helped. That's going to be my new rule.

RockinRobyn672 · June 2022

I'm in for my first challenge! Thanks for this. I've been an MFP member for years and successfully lost the weight I wanted in the past. However, in recent years, I haven't been as disciplined. I'm in a holding pattern. I lose weight during the week but gain it back over the weekend. I may do a long bike ride (e.g. 50 miles) with my husband on a Saturday, but we also like to check out music at local breweries afterwards. Need I say more?

SW: 147 on 6/15

Day/Weight/Comment

6/16 (Thursday): 146 - Planned my day's meals yesterday and actually stuck to it. Thanks for the challenge! Hoping to do the same today.
6/17 (Friday): 147.8 - We went out for dinner last night. The food was salty and I had two craft beers (which are high in calories). I'm cooking tonight!
6/18 (Saturday): ? - Cycled the Capitol trail from Jamestown to Richmond (51 miles) and spent the night. Drank lots of Gatorade. Did not track food. Downtown Richmond was nice! Nice dinner, then out for a drink and music.
6/19 (Sunday): ?- Cycled the Capitol trail from Richmond to Jamestown (51 miles). Did not track food. Ate a hearty breakfast. Drank lots of Gatorade.
6/20 (Monday): 148.6 - WHY do I gain weight after burning 1,000s of calories over the weekend? ... I did not track my food over the weekend. Starting over again! Completed 20-minute Yoga, and 30-minute core body strengthening Peloton classes. Planned my food/calories and stuck to it. Resisted drinking beer at dinner with my husband. Does anyone have tips for managing weekends while out dining, drinking and listening to music?
6/21 (Tuesday): 147.4 - Tracked my food yesterday and stuck to it.
6/22 (Wednesday): 147 - Tracked my food; 381 calories over daily goal, but worked out on Peloton (45-minute power zone class)
6/23 (Thursday): 146.2 - Tracked my food and stayed pretty much on track yesterday (it was hard); 20 minute Peloton bike recovery ride and 20 minute Peloton beginner core strength workout. Tonight is date night, so I will go off track. I will drink a hazy IPA while listening to live music at one of our favorite breweries? Does anyone have a tip on how not to way-overdo-it?
6/24 (Friday): 146.4 - So for date night, I drank a glass of water between two beers which helped a lot (Thanks @joans1976 for the tip!). I didn't have discipline at the end of the night and got into a bag of almonds, but luckily, I had a hard workout on the Peloton, so didn't go up much on the scale. I WILL do better job sticking to it today!

@wakegrrl When confronted with REAL pizza I just scrape the toppings off the crust and discard the crusts. Some pizza places will make you a crustless pizza- cheese, sauce, toppings and cheese- baked like a pizza. Sauce can be high carb so ask to have it lightly added

Day/Weight/Comment
6/16 / 158.6 / Busy days at work. I got lots of steps as I did a few meetings as walks with my staff. It worked out well.
6/17 / 159 / Got lots done today in work and around the house. Even rode the Peloton before work started. Off to Vegas in the morning.
6/18 / 160.8 / On the plane to Vegas just waiting to take off. It's going to be much warmer than I'm used to! So excited.
6/19 / DNW / Great first full day in Vegas. We have walked so many steps already. I also was able to use the gym at our hotel this morning before we started our day. The food and drinks have been indulgent so I'm glad we're moving a lot at least.
6/20 / DNW / Hoping to hit the gym again today before the day gets going. Plans for a magic show today if we get tickets. Temperature is to continue getting warmer but so far the heat just feels nice although I did get a bit of heat rash on my legs yesterday. It has been good to walk in the evenings - so pleasant out!
6/21 / DNW / Getting double the step counts I'm used to walking around Vegas. I know from tracking that it won't be enough to offset all the calorie consumption. I'm not intentionally going crazy but I also know I'm indulging. I am proud of the fact I've gotten to the gym every morning. Today I did a walk/run Peloton working on a treadmill since that's a piece of equipment I don't have at home.
6/22 / DNW / Started the day with another gym workout - 45 minutes on the exercise bike and 30 on the treadmill. The exercise, while great, will in no way come close to offsetting the indulgent food and drink! Today is our last full day in Vegas... won't be back to my scale until the 24th and with water retention from the plane I won't be surprised if my weight starts with a 17-.
6/23 / DNW / Flying home from Vegas today. Back on the scale tomorrow!
6/24 / 175.4 / Well, if that isn't the craziest water retention you've ever seen after a 5 night vacation, I don't know what is!

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.

SW RND 190 119.0 (6/15)
6/16 119.0 GKI 8.1 Bingo last night was fun. Chicken salad and egg salad sliders - I skipped the bread, did eat a tiny bag of potato chips and about 1T of vanilla ice cream. Took my own keto cake and berries for dessert.
6/17 119.5 GKI 7.6 Not sure if it’s the extreme heat or what but I have been craving salt. Not worried.
6/18 118.5 GKI 8.1 OMAD was brisket from Dickey’s. The sign says “NEW OWNER-Better Food” but we don’t agree and won’t be making that 25 mile round trip again.
6/19 119.0 GKI 6.4 Angry Butcher last night - Rock Shrimp and 2 SF adult beverages.
6/20 119.5 GKI 6.7 BBQ at a new to us place with DD#2 and family. I ate a little Mac and cheese - first macaroni in 5 years! It was SOOOO cheese I could easily have gone totally off the rails but I didn’t.
6/21 120.0 GKI 5.7 OMAD 1/2 Great Greek salad with steak skewer, no pita. Need a TMI visit! *Couldn’t go to sleep-awake until after 2AM*
6/22 121.5 GKI 12.9 Golden Corral yesterday with lady neighbors. Went to bed before 10 and awake at 4:12 this morning! Up WAAAY TOO EARLY
6/23 120.0 GKI 12.4 I did so well avoiding carbs yesterday until I saw that darn piece of pita in the fridge! 1/4 of pita has a fair amount of carbs and it’s wheat which doesn’t treat me well! Well, today is a new day and I have already assembled a casserole for lun-ner.
6/24 121.0 GKI 13.6 Ate stuff I shouldn’t have at community social event. YIKES! Need to crack down!

@quiltingjaine thank you so much! I actually just checked our pizza place and they do make "pizza bowls" without the crust. I know what I'm having for dinner tonight!!

Today we have the Orkin guy to spray for bugs and scorpions. FamHub is coming with the two kiddos so he and BF can work on the car while SD and LittleBro can entertain them while I work. Trying to get some steps and movement in, though it's limited with so much going on. Not sure food today, will be on the fly a bit.

6/17 - Beach Vacation. GodSon's birthday (4 years old!!!)
6/18 - Beach Vacation BF's birthday!!!!
6/19 - Beach Vacation. Happy Father's day to any dads in or associated with this group!
6/20 - I'm not mad at this weight at all! Computer for new job shows it should be arriving today. Supposed to "start" at 830am but not sure how that works until I get my computer. It's 3 packages and 2 show "out for delivery". I'll be okay if one of the packages delayed is a monitor or something, but I don't want to be super far behind without a computer. BF is on vacation today and tomorrow to run errands and such. Get the pup back from the boarding vet today, SD gets to go to class for contacts and if she "passes", BF is ordering her contacts this morning. Not much else going on besides getting back on track with water since I was traveling and didn't want to stop every other exit hahah! Had to take BigBro to work this am to let BF sleep in a bit so no workout. I might try for a walk this evening once it cools down a bit and I have a better idea of work schedule.
6/21 - DNP
6/22 - Computer didn't properly charge Monday night so I didn't get to post. Amazing what not really paying attention to food but getting enough sleep and lessening stress will do for my weight! I'm quite happy. I also finally got to cook dinner for the family for the first time since January because my schedule actually allowed it. Whoot! I'm not a great cook (but I love baking), BF is. But I do want to try and learn. Homemade fajitas with plenty of veggies. SD wants to cook tonight but we shall see what's going on and if she finds anything to cook. Otherwise we will throw something together, I'm sure. Another day of onboarding an in-processing. W2 and W4 tax paperwork as well as payroll stuff to finish up now that I have access to the program (takes a few days to have access). Getting programs downloaded on my computer now as I finally have a moment without onboarding meetings. Also FamWife applied for this! I'm hoping she gets it. I think this will be a really good switch for her. I love the company already.
6/23 - Not mad about it. We had homemade chicken curry and I imagine I'm retaining a bit of water from that, per usual. Also possibly some water retention from rehydration. I haven't been as good with water intake the first few days because of the madness of starting a new job and setting up my workstation/desk area. Yesterday I was no more than 10oz shy of my normal 90oz goal. No workout yet, but trying to get my schedule worked out (its flexible. Depending on meetings, I'm only mandated at work between 9-3. From there, I decide how I want to space out the rest of my 9-hour day, whether it be start early, end early or start late, end late). I've been waking up early to take BigBro to work which cuts into me working out unless I go back to waking up at 330-4am to get a workout in before I need to take him. Not happening. Giving myself grace as I work through the transition and get a routine going before I demand anything of myself. Also: BF got the job he wanted!!! Waiting on confirmation of his start date (they requested 7/1 but we anticipate 7/15 or after due to a big project going on in current job 7/1-7/15 and he's the last one who knows how to do the job). Just super happy for him! Glad I took remote job for when he's traveling I can be local for kiddos.
