Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 191

musicsax · July 2022

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 191 ( my 123rd). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.

Goal this round is just to lose, no binges & keep within calories.

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.
End of round 69 134.2 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
6/26 139.8 - 13.27 miles walked yesterday. 50% exercise calories eaten back, no binge!!
6/27 139.8 – 7 miles walked yesterday. We had a big family picnic, all my DSs. nearly all of our children & grand-children: 30 of us in all, myself the eldest & our 12 month old DGD the youngest. We try to meet up at least once per year, but this is the first time since January 2020 (mostly due to the pandemic !)
6/28 141.6 - 4 miles walked, no structured walking as precipitation each time I was not working. Chocolate monster over powered me !! Feeling bloated & fat, spare tyre is visibly inflated, need to get back under control.
6/29 139.2 – 4.78 miles walked, intended to do more, but had e-mail to advise Commonwealth Games volunteer uniform was being delivered & had to be home to accept, walk cut short to get back and wait in for it! It is a bit 'snug', I was 6lbs lighter back in October when measured up for it so now I have 29 days to lose a few pounds to make it more comfortable, going to use that as an incentive to do well over this and next 2 rounds. 8 calories over due to having to restrict planned walk.
6/30 138.8 – 8.68 miles walked, a good food day, casual work finished now until November so walking should be increasing back to normal now which will help. 2/3 exercise calories eaten back.
7/1 139.2 - 8.56 miles walked, all pushing 2 year old DGS in buggy. Good food choices, but all but 26 of exercise calories eaten back.
7/2 139.8 – 7.93 miles walked. Calories 112 over.
7/3 139.8 – 10.46 miles walked, whoops didn't realise I went over by 370 calories until I logged all my food this evening; need to start pre-logging again as I thought I would be under!! Attended my training for Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, I shall be driving & first shift is just over 2 weeks away – exciting !!
7/4. 139.6 - a tad over 13 miles walked yesterday, just over half exercise calories eaten back.
7/5 139.8 – 10.66 miles walked yesterday, less than 2/3rds of exercise calories eaten back. No loss this round, hope the scales start moving again soon now that I am back into my normal walking regime, need to lose a few pounds so my uniform fells a little more comfortable in 2 weeks! I am counting & weighing everything so I will trust that will happen soon! See you next round.

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!

58 YO Female. SW: 263 (5/26/2022)
Round 191 SW: 253
6/26: 252.6
6/27: 253.2
6/28: 252.2
6/29: 251.2 – it is great to see the loss today as I struggled very hard to stay on plan yesterday. I am finding it more and more difficult to plan and cook my meals to plan. I want to give in and get something quick, easy and very bad for me. Yesterday was a bad day from the emotional point of view but I did manage to stay on plan although my calories were somewhat higher than normal, but still OK. I was doing fine without grains (bread, pasta, rice, corn etc.), but I am now (over a month in) starting to really miss them on bad days like yesterday. Luckily, I don’t really have anything in the house so it is harder to give in to cravings! I hope that today will be better
6/30: 251.0 – Staying on plan was easier yesterday. But I am struggling with doing all that prepping and cooking of meals. Planning far enough ahead that I know what I am going to eat is difficult. But if I don’t do that, I will make poor decisions about meals. But I am still hanging in there.
7/1: 251.0 – Still the same! Doing Ok but still struggling some with all the meal prep etc.
7/2: 251.2 – I am surprised that I didn’t go up more today. I had a not so good calorie consumption and more sodium than usual. This is unfortunate as today I am set to go out to lunch with a friend so I am pretty sure that my plan may suffer. I have been looking at the menu and trying to find something that isn’t as bad/off plan. There are a few things that I could/should order. Let’s hope that I stay strong and order one of those!
7/3: 252.4 – I went out to lunch with a friend yesterday and so did not eat to plan completely and I had a margarita with added salt to the intake. I am hoping that most of this is water that can quickly come off again as we only have 2 days left.
7/4: 251.2 – Back down to where I was so that is good. But I won’t be any where near my goal for this round. Will work harder next round.
7/5: 250.6 – down 2 lbs this round. I am finally moving the right direction again. See you in round 192.

threewins · July 2022

I am about 7.5 kg along the way to lose 32 kg. I use multiple tape measurements (cm) around my body because they aren't affected by salt intake. My weight has been dropping for 4 months now. Apparently I've been trying to lose weight since September 2012, the last time I was at goal weight. Let's see if stopping eating sugary food is going to change things.

Heaviest ever 1st Jan 2021, goal+31.7 kg

103.0 99.0 104.0 60.5 49.0 56.5 46.0 104.5 99.5 104.0 5th
This calculates to 814.5 cm, a loss from the last round

How this round went: I ran for only 6 minutes. My eating is definitely not perfect, theoretically I would weigh 300 g less had I eaten perfectly. Still having sugar. I'm going to try a motivation system to eat less, I'll say what it is probably in a few months. Although my weight loss is really slow, I really like the weight loss being almost zero stress. I'm rarely hungry and the weight loss chatter in my mind is at a minimum.

6/26: 141.5, starting weight
6/27: 141.7, I blame Red Robin 🍔
6/28: 141.7
6/29: 142.0, ok, I'm going the wrong way here and a long holiday weekend at my DD's won't help. Perhaps I should wait for round #192

6/30: 141.0 That's better, the challenge will be to keep it off over the long weekend while travelling
7/01: 141.0 holding steady, will be away from a ⚖️ for the weekend, hoping travelling doesn't do TOO much damage. 🤞
7/02: DNW, no scale access for a couple of days
7/03: DNW, still no scale
7/04: DNW
7/05: 142.5, well this 10 days was a bust, but not surprising with 2 days of travel and a holiday thrown into the mix. Bring on round 191!

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!

6/26 No scales
6/27 176.6. Back to work! I really need to just not take the foods I’ve been taking on trips with Dad. Gotta find some things he likes that I can control my consumption of.
6/28 175.8 Got in a nice walk yesterday. Headed back in the right direction, albeit slowly. Gotta start making choices that are best for my body again and be consistent about it.
6/29 175.4 Lots of steps yesterday and did a good job managing food intake.
6/30 176 Dinner out at a Mediterranean restaurant. Feeling really bloated. Taking healthy lunch to work and have a Skinnytaste recipe ready for the crockpot for dinner. Hoping for a drop tomorrow.
7/1 175.4 Not a great round, but I’m not giving up. Not sure I'll get back to my last round end weight, but I have to try. No scales the next two mornings. Taking the granddaughter camping with her great-granddad. Then bringing him home with me for next week. Cookout on Monday, but I can manage that part. It's the camping food that I struggle with. I am taking leftovers from last night's Skinnytaste meal for tonight, so that meal will be fine. Fingers crossed for the weekend.
7/2 No scales
7/3 No scales
7/4 175 Still babysitting a toddler, so no time to post yesterday, but we will stay very busy and keep July 4th foods healthy and light. I did do a better job managing the camping food this weekend, so that's a win.
7/5 175 Well, when will I ever decide to get it together and get back to losing? I did drop a little bit even over the long holiday weekend and did a better job managing food while camping, so in spite of not getting back to where I was at the beginning of the round, I guess I’ll focus on the positive. Here’s to next round, folks!

RockinRobyn672 · July 2022

I'm in for my second round! I didn't do that great the previous round (gained almost 2 pounds), but I have hope for the next 10! These challenges are inspiring and helpful for holding myself accountable.

6/26: 147.8
6/27: 147.2 - Planned meals and stuck to it yesterday
6/28: 145.6 - Yesterday stuck to meal plan, Peloton bike workout 30 minutes. Have a meal plan for today. Two Blue Apron meals arrive today.
6/29: 145 - YAY! I didn't get a workout in yesterday because I crashed on the sofa after work for a long nap but the good news is that I stuck close to my planned meals (went over a bit). I'm traveling for a few days starting today, so this will be a challenge for me. My pattern is to gain weight and go off plan when traveling.
6/30: ??? - Not only am I traveling, the weekend is coming up and today I was 500+ calories over goal but got in a hard 45-minute Peloton bike workout. I'll be back home on Saturday. My goal is to maintain my weight from Wednesday over the weekend.
7/1 Friday: ??? Still traveling but doing pretty well sticking to calorie goals and tracking food
7/2 Saturday: 144.4 - Lost weight while traveling! Yay!
7/3 Sunday: 144.4 - Maintained! Yay! This is normally when I gain weight back lost during the week.
7/4 Monday: 144.6 - July 4
7/5 Tuesday: 146.6 - Lots of July 4 activities yesterday. Yoga, 2 mile run, rode bikes to VA Beach boardwalk (lunch, dinner, music). Had an orange crush at lunch, beer while listening to music and wine at dinner along with several late night snacks last night. Went way over calorie goal.

Total round weight loss/gain to date: -1.2 (I'll take it!)

Day/Weight/Calories/Comment

6/26 - 179.6
I know half a pound isn’t significant, but still….Ever since the doctor’s dietitian put me on that very restrictive elimination diet 4 years ago to look for sensitivities (I have none), I find it harder than it’s ever been in my life to lose weight, and oh so easy to gain. I should have known better, but the quick weight loss then was so gratifying I didn’t question it. They — especially the dietician —should have known better for sure! Ok, just letting off steam, because it’s so frustrating to find it so hard to lose when I’m sticking to my food goals. No hugs needed, I’m just venting, and I’ll keep sticking to it. Have a lovely Sunday!

6/27 - 180
Ok, whatever. I did have some rhubarb ginger crisp last night, but my overall calories were fine. I made my 26th different weekly soup yesterday—West African Peanut Soup with chicken. Really good! This soup challenge has been a lot of fun. Now to find 26 more different soups! 🍵

6/28 - 179.8
Nothing much to report! 😁

6/29 - 181.2
Whaaaa??? This makes no sense, unless I’m waterlogged. I mean, it has to be water—I didn’t gain a pound and a half overnight. Calories were fine, though fat was a bit high, and I was on my feet at dog training for 5 hours, so not exactly sedentary. I don’t get it. I thought about fibbing to you guys, but what’s the point of that? Anyway, I’m disgusted. Hoping it falls back off.

6/30 - 179.6
That’s better. And I was so glum yesterday I forget to mention Tuesday was my pup Rory’s birthday! He’s a year old now, and to celebrate, he passed his AKC Temperment and Advanced Canine Good Citizen tests and his Therapy Dog test on Tuesday, the first day he was eligible. Here he is looking all grown up.

7/01 - 180.2
🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian friends! My dad was born in Alberta and my mom and her family immigrated to Alberta from Scotland when she was a kid; my siblings were born there, and I am eligible for Canadian citizenship by birth. Had I known that when I was younger, I would have applied. Still might! 🇨🇦

7/02 - 180.6
Ackkk. I had my typical Friday night snack attack. I don’t know what gets into me on Friday nights. Oh, well. Off for a tracking session with the pup. Maybe that will burn off a little of it. Happy Saturday!

7/03 - 180.2

7/04 - 180
Slowly, slowly. Yeesh!

7/05 - 179.8
Ok, not terrible. I don’t consider +/- one pound to be significant, so I’ll count this one as break even. I’m still working on my macros in light of GenoPalate, but I do feel a bit better with more complex carbs and less fat (especially saturated). See you next round, where I plan to stay out of the 80s!!!

Determined to get back into shape & do the things I love. Started this journey 4/4/22 at 180lbs and wish I would have found this amazing group sooner.
- Jenn / UGW: ~130lbs. fit & toned

I like to dance in celebration of those who inspire me on this journey. Don’t be surprised if I ask you for a song to add to my workout playlist.

6/26 - 166.4 (-1.3) - Good to see that increase the last two days go away but surprised because of yesterday’s workout. 💧192 oz. 🥗 under 💪 1,113 Active burn 👟 12,915 ⛑ +68 (288).

6/29 - 163.9 (-.2) - Well the scale hasn’t been telling me at all what I expected it to but I’ll take it! Long and exhausting day, I have some catching up to do. Focused on being conservative when logging my SUP time. 💧164 oz. 🥗 under 💪 661 👟4,259 but I’m certain my arms made up for it ⛑ +22 (278).

Expect meds/stress to cause more weight increase over next several days. Urgent virtual appointment in a bit (no sedated driving). All neighbors know me well, they are understanding and respectful of my condition…… guessing it’s the newbie’s on the block that kept shaking my windows with all the booming last night. Hoping my therapist can help prepare me for a friendly chat. Group meet tomorrow morning. It’s very likely I won’t get a work out in today.

7/5 - 162.4 (-.7) - Even though I had booze, processed food & desert I’m proud of how I managed the holiday. That said I may still do a fast tomorrow. It’s been awhile and I could use it not only to meet my goals but more so on a spiritual level. At any rate, I‘m starting to get my groove back and it feels good.💧146oz. 🥗 Under by the skin of my teeth 💪524 👟8,218 ⛑ +69 (165). See ya‘ll next round.

6/28 194.8 (+.8) Hike with the dogs today. Feeling tired but more energized on the diet front.
6/29 193.6 (-.4) Busy with several meetings. No organized exercise. My meal service dropped off some really healthy options yesterday. I’m hopeful this is going to help me break through and get back on the downward trend.
6/30 193.4 (-.6) Swimming today and several business meetings.
7/1 194.0 (0) Had a larger lunch yesterday. Not surprised. 7/2 195.4 (+1.4) Surprise bounce. Headed out to an art festival today with some of my friends. What a fun way to get some exercise!

7/4 193.0 (-1.0) My sister and I hiked yesterday…4.7 miles, 639 ft elevation gain. I have so much more endurance than I had last year at this time and this was at a faster pace, but it wasn’t as difficult a hike this time so it’s hard to compare. I’ll be really happy to be down this round, so I need to really pay attention today and make my breakfasts and snacks for the week. Hanging in there. Happy 4th of July!
7/5 194.0 (0) Darn! A few extra treats for the 4th of July. I did get the dogs out for a good walk. Swimming today.

7/05 - 154.8 - So figured out what in the world was going on. TOM! Still dealing with some TOM bloat, TMI isn't great (typical TOM complication for me), and a 4th of July dinner of smoked ribs and sides yesterday certainly isn't helping the scale. Back on it today. Getting cracks in windshield fixed this morning (they come to us), shipping ma's birthday gift and picking up a package held at post this afternoon and work otherwise. No workout as I was absolutely exhausted this morning. No BigBro to drive so tomorrow through Friday I plan on waking up at my normal time to take him to work and do a workout instead. BF is doing his best to drive up with me Saturday to pick all 3 kiddos up and go do something together. No idea food today but I'm not particularly hungry at this point so I think I'll fast until lunch. Plus water water water!

Previous Day's Comments

6/26 - DNP
6/27 - No proper TMI for a couple days with lots and lots of sodium bloat. Back on track today. Finally got access to my new company's wellness and connect everything. I'm also trying to figure out my schedule to allow me to work out throughout the week without missing work or dropping off/picking up BigBro. It'll likely still take a few weeks to really get into a nice routine, but I'm getting there. Not sure what today holds. Goddaughter's last t-ball game tonight so we will be going to that. It's at 7, but we have to pick up Bigbro from work. Won't have time to do that, come home to cook, then drive back out so I have a feeling we will be eating out. Will focus on healthier options during the workday instead. Also focusing on water and getting up to move frequently throughout the day, even if I'm not using the bike, rower, or bodyweight moves for a proper workout.
6/28 - Still holding on to water and TMI... sigh. I did get out for an evening walk with the pup last night after the rain passed. Hoping to do something similar today. Fitbit died this morning so steps from about 8am to 11am were not counted but there were some! Realize I posted on the wrong date yesterday so I adjusted that today. Water and watching food today as yesterday wasn't great food-wise with the t-ball game and eating out. Grilled or smoked chicken tonight, based on what's thawing. Training today and starting on my first ever project! Eeek I'm nervous. But it's keeping me busy so I'm okay with that.
6/29 - Finally losing some of the water weight. Got a little TMI movement, but I'm not quite back to normal in that regards so likely holding on to some extra weight there, as well. Water was good yesterday at 90oz. BF took BigBro to work this morning so the SD and I went out for a "photography walk" to take pictures of sunrise with the big camera. Only to come home and realize my SD card reader is MIA... Just ordered a new one, though, which should be here Friday to see how they turned out for real. I got more steps in before work today than I ever did while commuting to work! Plus some quality time. Remote work has been fantastic. I have a couple days of posts to catch up on so I'm going to do that now. Not sure food for today, but will try to keep it in check throughout the day in case dinner is a bit more calorie-dense or unhealthy. Depending on dinner (if we go to Fam's or stay home) will take pup for another walk like we did last night. She's loving the remote work as well haha!
6/30 - I have zero clue what's going on with my body. I will say I'm quite sore in the lower legs (mostly shin/calves, a little in thighs) from all the walking up and down the hills in my new neighborhood recently. Tomorrow I'm off work (every other Friday off) and BF is able to be mobile with his work so we are getting out of house to do something with kids. Saturday I drive kids to Oklahoma to meet their mom so they can spend a week with her for the 4th (BF is on go-live, working 7 days a week starting Saturday until the 15th). On the 9th I go back to Oklahoma to meet mom to get kids back for remainder of summer. Hoping the travel doesn't shoot my weight straight up. Hanging in there, drinking my water, and trying to get extra movement where I can. Food will fall into place soon, I'm sure.

06/30 …..DNW ….. (Trend weight DNW] 07/01 ……202.8 ….. (Trend weight 203.0)

07/03 ……204.6 ….. (Trend weight 203.4) And this is what happens when you accumulate fluid in your ankles and feet folks. Obviously, yesterday was not waterpill day. Today is, so I should see improvement tomorrow. Again, so hard to gauge how my actual weight is doing like this. I take my pill every other day (but not when traveling. I may miss a few and really bloat up at times). Yesterday was a great day. Stayed within calories, closed all my circles on my fitbit, took a walk and also used the stationary bike. My scale shows no increase in my fat on my body also so that is good (and an indication). I hate this guessing game.

07/04 ……203.6 ….. (Trend weight 203.4) So this is where I sit after a waterpill yesterday. Not real happy with the number. I had all great numbers on fitbit yesterday closing all circles and having higher numbers than I’ve had in awhile. I’ve got more work to do! My goal each round is to lose ANYTHING and I am 0.2 down today from start weight. Hopefully tomorrow will yield an even better number but…….today is no waterpill so I will be swelling. And, of course, it is a holiday, a food and grilling holiday. Ugh! I am just going to trust the process and push through the good habits regardless of scale. On another note, My oldest daughter Bethany will be in our little local parade today with the 3 DGS’s. Looking forward to lining the street to see them. Have a safe day everyone!

07/05 ……205.0 ….. (Trend weight 203.6) An overnight jump. I’m not surprised. No waterpill yesterday, 3 ½ hours sleep last night and a holiday bbq, and desserts/snacks that I should have avoided. Not a good way to end the round. Up 1.2 lbs.

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

Day, Weight, Comment

6/26: 158.2 - today is my “relaxed eating” day so I fully anticipate a gain on the scale tomorrow. I will take it because I feel great, I still tracked all of my food (a huge win for me), I still got some movement in, and I’m ready to jump into tomorrow!
6/27: 157.9 - feeling a little under the weather today, but pleasantly surprised at my weigh in this morning. I’m feeling extra hungry and a little headachy today but I had a good workout this morning so that definitely helped.
6/28: 156.9 - yesterday ended up being a great day! I was able to avoid a binge, I ate well within my calorie range, and had a good workout. I started this morning big with a workout but we have pizza every Tuesday night, so I generally expect a little gain on Wednesday mornings.
6/29: 156.9 - I stayed exactly the same as yesterday so I’m thrilled! Here’s to another day of tracking!
6/30: 155.8 - wow! Y’all today is a great day to have a great day! I am just feeling incredible this week! Tracking and exercise and water, oh my!
7/01: 154.8 - how is it already July?! I have a planned higher calorie day today so not expecting a loss tomorrow. I’ll still be tracking, and that’s always the goal for me!
7/02: 152.9 - I’m about to get my workout in for the day, and I commit to tracking all of my food today as well! I also really need to focus on water, because I didn’t have enough yesterday.
7/03: 154.6 - up a bit from yesterday. Still not enough water, not a ton of movement, and loads of salt, so I’m not surprised!!
7/04: 153.7 - my favorite part of this challenge is how much it’s keeping me accountable to tracking. It’s been hugely motivating and I can’t wait to do it again!
7/05: 153.9 - round 191 results down 4.3 pounds! To say I’m thrilled is an understatement! I have been tracking like a pro and, go figure, it’s working. So I’ll see you in round 192!!!

ROUND 189
SW: 180.2

ROUND 190
SW: ?

6/24 176.6 back from vacation. was i stressing over gaining weight so i didn't eat as much, or was i not stress eating? kinda like that old tootsie pop commercial, "the world may never know".

6/25 175.8 don't believe everything you see. it HAS to be my scale messing with me again because everyone knows i don't lose almost a pound overnight. someday i will invest in a better scale. until then....i'm enjoying the tiny fibs it tells me every once in a while.

ROUND 191
SW: 174.4

Day/Weight/Comment

6/26: 174.4 i will keep accepting these lower weights my scale is spitting out, just as i will accept the higher ones when it decides to tell the truth. maybe it's all my fault, and i should change the batteries? I forgot to mention my failures that have occurred since vacation. i am ashamed to say i have had a set back in my quitting smoking. i know that i will have to get that under control as well as my eating habits. i have also failed in my walking. i will need to get motivated and include that also. i have emotional stress in my life right now, which i see an end to in the future but that will take a few months. my weeks vacation visiting with family was nothing but smiles and laughter. driving home my failures began, and i realized i must do something besides diet and exercise for myself. i will continue to recognize my failures, but i will not beat myself up over them. a slow and steady path in the right direction is what i have chosen.

6/27: 174.4 i looked up how many calories i should be eating if i am sedentary and oh lordy lordy they're really trying to starve people! i did my check in yesterday and "whoop whoop" my neck is 1/2 in thinner! wow! was that a good feeling! i still haven't gotten back to my walks outside. i did spend 3 hours walking in a circle around my livingroom yesterday, and i think i am going to start calling the time i struggle with the dog to take her medicine "my cardio workout".

6/28: 174.8 OK scale... i must weigh 174.(something). my calories were good, my macros were good. my exercise was non-existant. aaarrrgggh, i thought getting back to exercising would be easier than this.

6/29: 174 changed the batteries in my scale, and my weight remained about the same. i'm owing my scale an apology now for accusing it of lying to me. my calorie intake was super low yesterday, i wasn't feeling very hungry. maybe it was because of the migraine lurking to attack me last night, but it's almost noon time today and i still have no appetite. i was thinking earlier how great this group is. no one is judgmental and everyone so supportive. it's excellent therapy without the giant price tag.

6/30: 173.6 another day of too low intake, but again great macros. i forced myself to go for my walk yesterday. 1.9mi @3mph. when i got home i was questioning my sanity. 2 weeks without walking, last night felt like a nightmare, but i'm sure it'll get better again. i am trying to do my walks 3-4 times a week.

7/: 172.4 calorie intake was at "sustain" level, so i'm shocked to see this loss. macros pretty good.

7/2: 174.0 calories were good. it had rained all day, so i never went on my walk. weighed myself in the afternoon, after already eating. today i will be hooking up with my sister and her family. we are going to a dinner theatre so i am expecting a gain for tomorrow.

7/3: 175.4 that's a huge move in the wrong direction. i went 700 calories over my allowed amount yesterday... shameful. i will be going on a cruise in 2 weeks, i am already anticipating the work i will have to do when i get back from that.

7/4: 173.6 of course there's a cookout today. it shouldn't be much of a problem through

7/5: 173.8 yes, i went over my calories again, 545 this time. if i could have gotten some walking in like i swore i would get back to things wouldn't be so bad. unfortunate for me, it's been nothing but rain and looks like continued rain for about another week.

6/26 : 210.2
6/27 : 209.8 Happy for every loss no matter how small. They all add up in the end. 😊
6/28 : 209.8 I had an appointment with the orthopedist today. Looks like I will be needing a knee replacement as soon as I decide I want it. Very large patella spur as well as bone on bone. Sigh
6/29 208.8 I’ll take it. Very happy with this number, not what I thought it would be. Anything in the downward direction is wonderful.
6/30 207 Wow!! I’m thinking this is fluid loss from the cortisone shot in my knee on Tuesday. I’ve been good, but not that good. Visiting my mom for a few days so no weigh in tomorrow or Saturday.
7/01 DNW
7/02 DNW
7/03 206.8 Very pleasant surprise today after traveling.
7/04 206 Don’t know how the weight is finally going down but I’m very happy about it. Thinking hard about what I eat and drink. My 60th birthday is in Dec and I want to be in the 180’s as a gift to myself. 23 weeks and about 20 pounds that’s my new goal. I’ve spent my middle years being overweight, my childhood was mixed between being heavier and normal weight. I would like the last third of my life to be closer to a normal weight.
7/05 205.2 Wow! I don’t know how this weight is coming off so fast all of a sudden. I have been very good about logging all food. Was outside gardening yesterday and it was a hot and sweaty day.

Day, Weight, Comment

6/26 - 166.7 - 14,500 steps / 74 active minutes. Had a few/several adult beverages and didn’t really track but ate mindfully. Sandwich, veggies and a few treats at the tea. Then 2 tiny pieces of pizza and a small amount of chips. This number is mostly puff and water not worried at all. I work at this so I can enjoy these days. Oh … I had many people tell me that I was looking good and that they see me walking lol.
6/27 - 167.2* - 15,300 / 90. Baby shower lots of sitting, and hot weather!! Did get a walk in. SO called to say he should be flying home today. Happy but it kinda means it will take longer to drop back down, eh will see. No hugs needed I was expecting this and it will get back down soon, all part of it.
6/28 - 168.1 - 16,700 / 113. Hooray SO is home and my tummy is full of sushi rice. Enjoyed a nice sushi picnic. Sleep was horrible. Not worried about the number, but I am pretty bloated over these last few days. Hoping for a nice light dinner. Been a little behind on the post readings hopefully I can catch up soon. Keep at it all!!
6/29 - 168.9 - 11,100 / 68. Hit my June Challenge of 398.1 Km for the month. Just been hitting my minimums right now. Scale increase due to Pasta, SO home, minimums TOM, alcohol, terrible sleep, TMI and family events. Interesting my water % did hit optimal level, it's usually in the low range. Fat % is the same as 165 and muscle is up too. The body is an interesting thing. Long weekend coming up this might be a few days before I go down again.
6/30 - 170.2* - 11,200 / 58. Another low key day with nothing aligning. Visited friends camping and had hot dogs and snacks.

7/01 - DNW - 14,700/89
7/02 - DNW - 13,500/47
7/03 - 173.1 - 10,100/35
7/04 - 174.7* - 13,200/60 - Lots of travel and visiting with a little stress and a big bag of cheese puffs! SO is away working again so I should lose some of this puff. I still believe it's mostly water weight. Happy we are starting a new 10! Fresh starts!!

7/05 - 172.6 - 20,000/131 - Got my walks in and back at it. Way way way behind in post readings.
