64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 202 (my 134th). As always, thanks again @QuiltingJaine.
An additional 0.6 pounds of holiday weight gain gone, 0.8 to go, that is my goal for this round. Resting heart rate down to 48, that's another improvement too as that is directly linked to my weight. No binges, keep within calories & macros.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. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 138.2 – 4.75 miles walked yesterday mostly chasing around after little DGC!
10/15 138.2 – 10.54 miles walked, ready to move down from these figures now!
10/16 138.6 - 11.58 miles walked yesterday, we both got our Covid autumn boosters; it's nice to know that they had been tweaked to combat the Omnicron variant, couldn't get warm in bed last night, but DH was way too hot - side effects? Who knows!
10/17 137.8 – 3.66 miles walked yesterday, we both felt very tired and lethargic! Mostly rested, feeling much better today
10/18 137.8 – 10.25 miles walked, vitality back to normal again.
10/19 137.4 – 9.05 miles walked, feeling good & in control.
10/20 138 – 10.51 miles walked.
10 /21 137.2 – the persistent rain which was heavy & incessant, made any walking impossible, so took little DGS x2 to soft play and chased around after them.
10/22 137.2 – 9.67 miles walked yesterday before the rain came. Need to hold on to this weight for tomorrow!
10/23 137.8 - Yesterdays high carbs day; always share a pizza, with DH on Saturday night. Ugh, ups and downs of daily weighing! 13.83 miles walked; drove out to Pontscythle Aqueduct, walked to Llangollen, past Horseshoes Falls to Llantysilio Church and back. Such a wonderful day amongst the autumnal trees, loved it!! 0.4 pounds lost this round, not quite hit goal, but just keep on going!!
?ﾟﾑﾍThis is NOT A DIET. It’s a PERMANENT HEALTHY LIFESTYLE?ﾟﾑﾍ5 -
Awesome! Thank you as always for posting @quiltingjaine! These challenges really keep me motivated and you are a great group of people! ❤️
This will be my 13th round and I have lost a total of 27.6 pounds so far! This challenge brings me the most success and is much easier by breaking up my goals into smaller chunks.
I have one very solid goal, to be in Onederland by 12/17/22, after that, let the weight come off how it does.
SW: 250
UGW: under 150 ish

10/15: 204.0
10/16: 205.3
Hmm. Not good but it will come off.
10/17: 204.6
I’ve been bouncing around the same 2 pounds for two weeks now but I’m not eating at maintenance calories. I just want to make it to Onederland already. I need to stop being so focused on a number!
10/18: 204.0
10/19: 203.1
10/20: 204
10/21: 203
10/22: 204.6
I’ve definitely been emotionally eating.
10/23: 203
Well I hit my goal but not without some bouncing around. I’m not sure how consistent I’ll be next round with logging in due to medical issues but I really love this challenge, the support and accountability it brings!
Total loss this round: 1.3 lbs

10/23- 180.8- Had a nice race yesterday but I also had a nice lunch out with DH as well as a nice late evening with friends filled with spiked hot cider and cupcakes. While I don’t love ending this round on a high note, I do feel like my lifestyle choices have been well rounded and healthy in general.5 -

10/13 - Last round - 178.4
10/14 - 178.0
10/15 - 178.4
10/16 - 177.2 Believe and stick with the plan.
10/17 - 178.4 We went on a big hike so I ate a bit more. Weight up due to sore muscles, salty food, too much food, or all three probably. Not I will just get back on track and I'm sure it will go down again.
10/18 - 177.2 Back on track.
10/19 - 178.0 Crazy! I did have a salty lunch but was within calorie budget. I'm a bit less motivated today but will stay on track.
10/20 - 176.8 🙂
10/21 - DNW - Taking care of 8-month old DGD at her house. Didn’t eat the best. I also didn’t have a lot of time to eat lol.
10/22 - DNW - I’m having so much fun.
10/23 - 175.8 Grandchildren are great weight loss tools. ❤️5 -

10/22 -202.2- (Trend weight 200.6) I polished off the last of the Thai dinner last night. Meals were on track. Uptick is likely from lack of sleep, bloat from no water pill and no TMI. Babysitting today. I’ll keep my meals light and thanks to my DGS, I’ll be getting all my steps and stairs in!
10/23 -202.0- (Trend weight 200.7) My steps and overall calories burned yesterday were above my goals. I honestly thought this drop would be bigger but it is what it is I guess. This was a great goal reaching round for so many. Congrats to all and many thanks to Jaine. See you in the next round.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Still coughing and blowing with a cold, and I just want to sleep, but off I go to walk/run some energy off the pup. Then maybe I’ll go back to bed!
10/15 - 177
Feeling a little better today, so off for a walk with Rory pup.
10/16 - 178
Ooops. Yep, I did some emotional eating, some of it quite salty. Onward.
10/17 - 177.2
Ok, now to drop out of the 77s for good!
10/18 - 176.2
Whoa! That’s a nice surprise! Especially since I made brownie last night and ate one. But I was still close to my calories goal, so all good, I guess. Now to keep going.
10/19 - 176.4
Sticking mostly to the plan, and I’m finally getting my macros closer to recommendations from GenoPalate, which is based on DNA and which recommended I eat more whole carbs and less fat than I was eating. I’m finding it hard to change that balance, but am slowly getting closer. I’m curious to see if it makes an obvious difference.
10/20 - 177
Salty food yesterday, and a little too much of it, I think. And some stress eating. It’s ok.
10/21 - 177
Holding pattern for now. That’s ok.
10/22 - 177.4
Very sad day here yesterday. We had to say goodbye to my beautiful young dog, Rory. He had fear and anxiety issues from his first day here (meaning he had them before I got him), and despite training in multiple dog sports since 10 weeks old, lots of socialization, etc., they just got worse over time. I consulted my vet and a behaviorist this past summer, tried fluoxetine (Prozac) and handling protocols, but he continued to escalate, becoming frightened of things he’s seen all his life here. So we made the terrible decision, with which my vet concurred, and yesterday afternoon we set him free. The demons can’t follow. So yes, I had a comfort dinner. Here he is on a good day.
10/23 - 178.2
I’m up, but a lot of it is water. I indulged in some Dorito therapy yesterday. I never eat that stuff but just had a weird craving and decided to cut myself some slack as I grieve. Back on track today and feeling considerably better, which I’ll attribute to lots of sleep, not the Junk food!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 / 168.4 / Friday is my work from home day. I had my second appointment of the week that verified I no longer need CPAP therapy for sleep apnea after my 120+ pound weight loss. A real victory. Had a nice night with my husband and I need to get to bed soon.
10/15 / 170.2 / Super busy day - brunch with friends, coffee and a walk with my dog and another friend, supper out with my husband and family.
10/16 / 171.8 / Yesterday was a big day of food and I was over on my calories. We had meals out with two different sets of people. I did get my steps in.
10/17 / 169.6 / We had a huge day of biking yesterday and then we stayed up late to watch the taped Bills game. Today was smoking busy at work.. thank goodness it was a work from home day.
10/18 / 169.6
10/19 / 170
10/20 / 171.6 / Since I last checked in I had a busy day in office, a meal out to celebrate my wedding anniversary, one night of business travel which included a massive food and alcohol binge, and well.. here I am. Today is back on track but I need to get out of this yo-yo as my average weight in trending up.
10/21 / 170 / Colder day here today. After work my husband and I have a cooking class together.
10/22 / 169 / Hubby and I had a great time at the cooking class. Today he was volunteering all day so I got some work done, visited a relative in the hospital, went to a movie, and rode the Peloton. Busy day!
10/23 / 168.4 / Proud to have lost this 10 days and excited to move forward in the next 10 as well. Today after on call duties my husband and I are going to watch the Honens piano competition with a supper out in between.2 -

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.

10/15 120.0 And this is what happens when I DON’T eat wheat! Two days of mostly carnivore eating after ONE SUPER HIGH CARB meal on Wednesday!
10/16 120.5 Joining my ladies at my daughter’s to “make” soap. It’s melt and pour so should be fairly easy. I bought lemon and vanilla oils and I’m going to cut some rosemary to add and to share. BONUS - visit with DGGS!
10/17 121.0 Plans yesterday postponed due to DD having stomach problems.😢😢Great Greek for early lunch before learning that we cancelled. Going to try to get school library straightened out today and tomorrow. The library assistant doesn’t speak English and is clueless about how to shelve books! DD said the library is a mess.
10/18 121.0 Late dinner at BBQ place with family. Worked 3 hours at DD’s school library, mostly standing. Going back today after mani. Manis are something I have decided I “deserve” after all the years of taking care of family and friends for over 50 years.
10/19 120.5. Got the school library fairly shipshape until the aide starts putting things away. Got my mani. Nails are a little shorter than I wanted but they’ll grow. I love the color I picked and if I had gone to the pool AT ALL this summer (=tan), they would be very striking. Meet the candidates Night in our community. DH is running for HOA board with the hope of bringing SOME fiscal responsibility. Consequently we are making goodies. He’s making chocolate chip cookies and I will make my “famous” brownies. From scratch is so much better than a mix and these are so easy.
10/20 121.5 Too many “goodies” but I didn’t eat anything anyone else brought. The majority of the people attending last night supported the 3 new candidates and the 2 current board members running for reelection (current president and a yes woman) did not get the applause on their responses. I could go on and on but will spare you. I’m eager for blind neighbor to return and being able to fast a bit longer.
10/21 121.5 Beautiful evening yesterday. Sat outside with neighbors for a few hours.
10/22 123.0 Not surprised- I have been craving salt the last couple of days and drinking LOTS of water - had over 100 oz yesterday plus coffee and XL Coke Zero.
10/23 122.5 I’m happy with this. Went to Great Greek yesterday instead of today. I’m making tacos later.4 -
@SheilaBoneham -I am so sorry for your loss. You and Rory accomplished quite a bit in his life. My thoughts and prayers are with you. 🙏💚3

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take- 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.
time, effort, and most of all, patience!
