64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 216 (my 147th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.
Goal for this round; again I'm not looking at a specific number, any loss and keeping clear of binges, keep within calories & macros. I can do this but, consistency is paramount, lets do it just for 10 days!!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 taken me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 130. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

SW RND 216 139.2
3/3 139.2 - no structured walking – child minding little DGS, hence calories 127 calories over; a total of1506 consumed, but made good choices.
3/4. 138.6 - very busy day yesterday, managed to walk 7.13 miles between working working a few hours morning and also afternoon (exam. invigilating), food shopping & them coming away in our brand new caravan. Had quite a few teething problems when we arrived on site, which meant tea was very late and we ended up grabbing cheese and biscuits instead of the healthy planned bbq & salad
but didn't let that be an excuse to then totally go off the rails. Healthy stuff will now be tonight's meal!!
3/5 138.2 - not sure how reliable this number is as first time round it recorded 134 which I know is definitely wrong!!!! 13.12 miles walked in the beautiful Delamere Forest, 80% of exercise calories eaten back including a couple of adult beverages to celebrate our new caravan (delayed by 1 night due to those teething problems Friday night!).
3/6 138 – 6.26 miles walked before we packed up to travel home as the forecast rain held off till evening. All calories plus 48 eaten back.
3/7 138 - 10.7 miles walked, a third of exercise calories eaten back.
3/8 137.6 – I was expecting/hoping for this small whoosh, as yesterday my jeans felt particularly comfortable instead of tight & I “felt” lighter. 10.21 miles walked, no exercise calories eaten back.
3/9 138.2 – 7.04 miles walked, had a text to say eat and drink plenty before blood donation in the afternoon, that is a dangerous licence for me !! But kept within maintenance including 2 treats after donation.
3/10 137.4 - Only 4.72 miles walked, it snowed quite heavily most of the morning & I had commitments in the afternoon, I am ok walking on snowy ground, but not into driving snow! Just over 75% exercise calories eaten back. I look out of the window and it's snowing again, I wanted to walk the 3.5 mile walk to my nails appt but unless it stops in the next half an hour looks like I shall be driving ughhh!

***************************************
3/1 151.4 (trend 153.5)
3/2 151.6 (trend 153.3)
3/3 150.8 (trend 152.9) A good start to the round, it's funny, the last few rounds have started with an overnight whoosh. It makes it tricky to decide on a goal weight but I'll be optimistic and aim for 1 pound. Met all my activity targets yesterday, even if it did mean doing laps of the house for half an hour at 10.30pm to get the last 3000 steps in! I didn't sleep very well, according to my tracker, I woke many times and only got 45 mins of deep sleep. I woke at 4am starving hungry and so got up to have some cereal, but remembered to weigh myself first. I think I've been over training a bit, or under eating, or both, so I've decided to treat myself to a lazy day and not try to restrict my calories too much so I recover a bit.
The gods must have been listening because the family get-together that this introvert really wasn't looking forward to has been cancelled, so no boring clothes shopping for me and I can have a really active day tomorrow instead of a 3hr car ride to make awkward small talk and sleeping on an air bed, phew!
Don't want to jinx it, but I might actually make it into the 140s this round!
3/4 150.6 (trend 152.6) Feeling rough today after a few too many whiskey and cokes last night so my plans for an active healthy day today are out of the window. Why did I do that? So not worth it. Gonna have another quiet day and start afresh tomorrow.
3/5 153.0 (trend 152.7) Really didn't want to post this today, yikes! This is the result of alcohol on Friday night and then we got an Indian take away last night. I had a chicken tikka starter and some poppadoms with chutneys, not a lot, so I'm hoping this is just water retention from dehydration and extra sodium. No exercise for 2 days has had a big impact on my mood. I did manage 2 minutes of planking but totally forgot to do the 3rd minute. I'm really looking forward to getting back to the gym today and seeing what progress I have made on my lifts.
3/6 152.4 (trend 152.6) I had a pretty much perfect day yesterday, in terms of my targets. (Macros, calories, steps, weight training, water, planking, supplements, all on point), so I just have to hold my nerve that this gain is just temporary water weight. My urge to over restrict and over train is strong, but it would be counter productive as I would burn out within days and my metabolism would drop right down.
3/7 151.6 (trend 152.5) Slowly coming back down, I miss the '150.something' that I had at the start of this round! A good day yesterday, with all my health targets met again, but not great sleep. I have done my gym for the day today but still have 5500 steps to do and my planking. I have a bad case of the CBAs and need a boot up the bum.
3/8 151.8 (trend 152.4) Well, I got over the tiredness and finished my exercises. I met all my targets again yesterday, except my macros were slightly off. I have muscle soreness in my glutes and hamstrings, this could be the reason for the gain. I woke up starving at 5am again but have resisted so far.
I won't get much activity today as I'm helping my mum with some car issues, which means lots of driving. It's snowing lightly here today, first snow since early December, all the spring bulbs in the garden are looking very pretty poking out of the dustingof snow. I put out some food for the hungry pigeons. Last year I hand raised a baby pigeon that my cat brought in, so I feel like 'mother of pigeons' now.
We have booked a week in Portugal from 23rd March, time I started up my language lessons again, they've fallen by the wayside since I've been exercising more. There's an outdoor pool by the complex that I've not had the courage to use yet. I absolutely love swimming but look horrific in a swimsuit so very rarely swim and when I do it's in shorts and a t shirt, in rivers and sea. Being able to wear a swimsuit and use the local pool without feeling mortified is one of my main motivators.
3/9 151.2 (trend 152.2) I enjoyed a rest and recuperate day yesterday, calories within target but with higher carbs. Slept really well and am feeling ready to get back on it. Still not back to my round starting weight, but I'm not too worried about it today, so long as my trend weight doesn't go up.
3/10 151.2 (trend 152.1) All targets met. I'm definitely getting better at planking, I can hold for 1 min 15 secs now, compared to only 30 secs 10 days ago. My shoulders seem to give out before my core does, good job it's upper body day at the gym today.
I did a wardrobe reshuffle yesterday, I went through all my jeans and bras, packing away ones that are too big and dusting off ones starting to fit. The issue I always have is my waist and back gets smaller, but my thighs and cup size stay the same, so I'm stuck between sizes. I tried on the 4 swimsuits I own, but although some fit well in the body, the bust area isn't big or supportive enough. I don't want to buy anything new as I still have at least 20lbs to lose, and proper swimsuits with decent support are soooo expensive. Maybe ebay is worth a try.
This round is testing my patience a bit!
Driving into Oxford today as OH has an appointment in the city centre, where I grew up, so I am looking forward to a trip down memory lane, walking around the area while I wait for him.
Weekend again, OH is planning on getting some treats in tonight, so I'm going to need a lot of resolve so that I don't repeat last weekend!

3/08- 188.2
3/09- 187.4
3/10- 185.6 WHOOSH! That is encouraging. Especially since I didn’t track yesterday, I ate a lot but good choices and well timed. I felt on track.
I’m not sure this entire drop will stick but it is encouraging to know the scale CAN move down.

3/3 – 148.4 lbs – Well, I am really pleased with my progress! I was looking back and I started these challenges on January 13, 2023 and I have lost 9.2 lbs since that time! Thanks @quiltingjaine! Considering the time of year (poor mental health + bad weather usually = annual weight gain, for me), and the fact that I am pretty close to my goal weight, this is wonderful! I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I am TWO HUNDRED POUNDS LESS THAN I WAS IN 2005. Like wth? That is so bizarre. So bizarre. I mean it has been a roller coaster of losing and gaining since gastric bypass, for sure, but still. And now I have a glimmer of hope of being able to maintain this weight (145-150 lbs) by just continuing to log my calories, and walking every single day. I mean, it’s a pretty simple formula. It’s not rocket science. LOL! Anyhow, honestly, if I can lose 0.8 lbs by the end of this challenge, that would mean I have lost 10 lbs in 2 months, and that is more than okay by me! 😊 You will see that I have set A LOT of goals for this round. What I did was look back over the last 5 rounds and put together every single goal I have attempted since January 13th. (I left out a goal I had originally set about calming down on ice-cream sammiches, as I have completely stopped eating those.) Some goals I have been very successful at, some I didn’t achieve even once. So, I thought that for this round I’d try to go all in and challenge myself! The only new goal I’ve added is getting to the gym. I have reinstated my gym membership and I want to get back into the habit going 2-3 times per week. Anyhow, in the spirit of the success I have had over the last few days by posting this up in the morning and then feeling like I need to live up to all the “happy faces” I’ve projected for the day ahead, I am going to give myself all happy faces above and then do my absolute best to stay the course. Let’s go people! Let’s do this!! 😊
3/4 - 149.2 lbs – First of all: HAHAHA at myself for being so raring to go yesterday morning and then finding myself eating McDonald’s chicken nuggies and fries by the end of the day!! Like what the heck!! Where did my motivation go??? I only got 4/10 happy faces yesterday, AND I ate over 2500 calories!! Sheesh! Well, I guess you win some, you lose some. Let me try to do better today. However, I am a bit concerned because we are in the middle of another frickin’ blizzard and I am not even sure how I am going to take my dog out for pee-breaks, let alone walk him (and he is used to 1-2 hours of walking per day – pray for my sanity). It’s treacherous out there and I can see it is white-out conditions and I can hear the wind howling. So… this is going to be an interesting diet/exercise day. I don’t think am going to hit my 14K steps goal today. Wish me luck. Today is supposed to be a gym/strength training day according my schedule. I haven’t been there since before I rescued Goliath on January 2nd. This is going to HURT. Luckily my gym is just about a block away so I can walk over, if I can trudge through the snow on the sidewalks. I could use the weather as a reason to skip it, but I had planned to go today and I am really looking forward to starting up again. Because I had gastric-bypass, I am at high-risk of developing osteoporosis, so in addition to taking my supplements I am also supposed to be doing regular weight-bearing exercise to try to keep up my bone density. So it’s important to build this into my weekly schedule and stick with it. Oh, and you will see that my weight is up today. I am very close to going over the upper-level of my goal range. This is VERY motivating. I do NOT want to creep up. I need to nip this in the bud. With all your support, I know I can do it. 😊 I put in my pre-planned “happy faces” above and now I am going to post this so you all can hold me accountable! HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!
3/5 – 148.8 lbs – Well, yesterday was a decent day – 5/10 happy faces - and I am glad the scale is down a smidge. I did go over my calories yesterday by 330 cals, but I also walked almost 26K steps so I am not too worried about that. What I am worried about is the fact that I invited my sister, her daughter and daughter’s fiancé over for lunch today, and I said I’d order Chinese food. Now I am worried about the calories in Chinese food and wondering if I should a) just eat my Jenny Craig food while they eat Chinese food or b) try to cook us all something healthy. I am not much of a cook but I recently purchased a Ninja 13-in-one which is pretty easy to use. I’ll keep thinking about that and let you know how it goes. I mean, I know “treats” are okay sometimes, but on the other hand, I can enjoy their company and feed them healthy food instead of salty, greasy, (delicious) Chinese food which will result in a bump up on the scale tomorrow. I still haven’t been to the gym and I am actually motivated to go right now, which I think I will do, even though I feel weird about it because I have walked my dog every day at this time since I brought him home from the shelter. I feel bad leaving him behind. Also, I usually enjoy my walks with him around 4-5 AM as he is dog-reactive and we don’t run into many other dogs at this time, so it is our best walk of the day. So if I gym now and walk him later, being a Sunday morning, we will definitely run into other dogs, which is inevitable but also markedly less fun. Anyway, I am not going to pre-log my happy faces this morning, as I have no idea how the day is going to go. Obviously, I am a little indecisive this morning. LOL. Wish me luck.
3/6 – 148.6 lbs – Well, the Chinese food lunch yesterday did not go as planned. Let’s just leave it at that. On the flip side, I am super proud of myself for getting back to the gym yesterday morning. And I am also impressed with myself for being proud of getting back to the gym instead of fixating on the fact that I didn’t do my entire routine or beat myself up for the fact that I needed to do less weight and fewer reps. I was just happy with myself for making it there. That is a HUGE improvement in my attitude and I feel like it shows significant progress. 😊 In addition to going to the gym, I also got in 23k steps. So overall it was a good day for exercise. I am a bit concerned with the fact that at some point yesterday I just gave up on logging my calories. I lost track with the Chinese food and after that things kind of went to hell in a handbasket, which is NOT a sign of progress. LOL. It is that old mentality of “oh well, the day is already ‘ruined’, I might as well eat anything and everything now, especially since I stopped logging for the day!”. It is not a wise approach, as I have learned time and time again in my weight loss journey. Er, weight-gain journey.
3/7 – 148.8 lbs -
3/8 - DNW
3/9 - 142.2 lbs – One word: gastroenteritis. 10/10 would not recommend.
3/10 – 142.8 lbs – Well, I guess poor hubby did not wash his hands enough while he was caring for me because now he is sick as a dog and I am still not recuperated enough to care for him. This is not going well, folks. Counting calories and steps is about the last thing on my mind. Just trying to get rehydrated.

3/10 - 160.2 - No hugs needed. It's sodium bloat from eating out at Chinese restaurant last night. We went out to see Fam and others since they're all heading to the beach on the coast for spring break. With me unable to take that much time off work, the truck broken, and the travel trailer JUST getting fixed yesterday (with no way to tow it due to the truck anyway) we aren't going. We helped a friend switch the awning on his trailer and then decided just to eat in town because it we wouldn't be home until 7 anyway and we didn't thaw anything to cook. Today is bodyweight and C25K (it's not that program specifically (another free version with same concept), but I'm calling it that for ease). I'm getting hair trimmed for health today (dead ends be gone!) and this afternoon is our radio class for the Ranch fire department. BF going to try to get off work and go with since we are both interested in volunteering to help out. In between I have grocery haul. Speaking of, I had that salad again and it held me until dinner once again! It's so good. I used up the last of the spinach and lettuce but have tons of carrots, cucumber, and bell pepper left over. Going to buy some hummus to dip those in I think. Good thing everybody is gone so we are home to eat that up this weekend! Alright, off to work out.

Previous Day's Comments3/03 - I was right, body was playing tricks and didn't want to show 150s last round. Hectic day. BigBro's birthday dinner (stromboli) and "cake" (chocolate zucchini bread and he opted for Andes mint melted chocolate glaze vs the lemon glaze from last year). Then BF found 3 beautiful "family" vehicles (3 row seating) at our local dealership on the used lot. He ended up getting approved and bought one (his credit was wrecked from his ex wife so I've been helping him and teaching him how to rebuild it slowly so this is a HUGE deal to get approved 100% by himself). Another nasty storm blew through right before dinner. Luckily the worst of it (hail and super high winds) just barely missed us. No walk with pups as we still had rain and horrible (40-60mph gusts) wind. Hoping better for today. Will need to go into town after work so hoping dinner is early enough to walk the pups after. About to knock out today's workout. I almost skipped it and slept in as my alarm woke me mid-dream. I didn't have the patience to set a midpoint alarm between my normal and my "you're late for work" alarm but I ended up waking up fully between my snoozed alarm and my bladder haha! I'm excited to sleep in tomorrow, though.
3/04 - Bouncy bouncy. Lots of sodium, lots of movement. I was over calories (exercise included) by 92 on MFP and 132 on Fitbit. Stressful day as it was BF's mom's birthday and she passed Oct '21. We went out for Guinness on tap for her birthday (her fave) after I got back from the vet. And that vet visit was unexpected to get my poor Smoke's face cut open to remove an abscess that kept getting infected and causing his eye to squint from swelling. Then dinner at Fam's. Big breakfast this morning in hopes of holding off eating until dinner time, which I'm unsure of plans at this point. Their septic system is all messed up so they're working on that today and we're headed to help here shortly. Hopefully lots of movement on my end to make up for some things.
3/05 - I'm so bloated and I'm in an absolute mood today. I don't like people. It's FamWife's birthday celebration (tomorrow is actual bday) so I have to people and I'm just not okay with all this mentally. But I'll be a good sport because it is her birthday and I will not be the one to ruin it
3/06 - So I've been taking these multivitamins. BF was taking them and he said they didn't sit well with him. Whatever, I've taken these before with no issue. Nope. All this weekend I've been dealing with stomach issues. Brushed it off thinking it'll be fine. Nope, we discussed and went through all the possible causes of the stomach pain. It's identical, by description, to BF's. I'm bloated and uncomfortable. I feel hungover with no alcohol. I go through bouts of nausea. It's just no comfortable. I'm stopping them as of today. I'm so bloated and uncomfortable today that didn't weigh as I feel it will be such a false weight. I'll play it day-by-day but may be taking several days off to allow the vitamins to be flushed from my system and me to start feeling better. I'm about to knock out my bodyweight workout. I'm foregoing the kettlebell to dial it down to a doable level so I don't overdo myself. I feel nauseous but I know I'm not actually sick, it's just the vitamin so I'll push through at a less intense level. I'll probably feel better in every other way after the workout so it's best I just do it haha. Entire weekend of posts to catch up on after (:
3/07 - I still feel bloated but significantly better than yesterday so I decided to take a chance on the scale. I am rather impressed. I feel much heavier than this. I'd still rather not see 160s on the scale, but at least I'm not seeing 164-165 like I anticipated. Just finished the coffee so it'll have settled by the time I post this and then I'll get my cardio sprints done on the spin bike today. BF took Harley for a walk/run yesterday morning and said last night he'd do it again. Wowza. My habits rubbing off or he just tired of feeling awful? I'm happy either way (until he loses all the weight and that little belly of his in like 2 days while I'm over here struggling). Dinner was late so we finished eating/cleaning after sunset but it was bright enough to sneak in a 0.75mi walk with both pups last night. Chonky girl Harley getting 2 workouts now, too! We're still taking it easy with Smoke as he needs to put on weight while he grows and he's still learning. Tonight should be better in that I can get a full mile or more with them without fear of it getting dark too quick. Attempting homemade taco pizza tonight. I just love making pizza crust and Taco Tuesday was the perfect excuse.
3/08 - I'm so bloated. I blame taco pizza hahah It wasn't as good as I had back home but it'll do. Turns out BF had never heard of it before and thought I was insane. He was shocked by how good it tasted. Guess its a regional thing? He's lived all over but never in Michigan/Indiana area. Is it anywhere else? I never heard of it in New York, Kansas, Oklahoma, or Texas while living in those places which is why I had to make it myself. I need to get my butt back in gear nutrition-wise and stop eating at maintenance which I've been doing. I have spinach, bell peppers, cucumber, and baby carrots to eat up (salad much?). Grilled chicken I can heat up and plenty of black and garbanzo beans to use. No clue dinner so making lunch light. Its active rest day so while BF takes Harley out, I'm about to walk Smoke before I start work here at 7 (20minutes ish). BF says (and told Fam) Mon-Wed-Fri is 1 mile walk/run until he can work up to running a full mile at 8mins before upping the mileage. Tues-Thurs-Sat is a 1 mile walk to recover but still get his muscles used to moving. I'm proud of him! I'll still try for an evening walk with both pups tonight despite my walk this morning.
3/09 - Whew, what a journey. I'm guessing between the vitamin madness bloat finally falling off (right about the same number of days BF started feeling better after stopping) and the super low calorie day my body finally released everything. I had a BEAUTIFUL homemade salad for lunch that shockingly got me all the way to dinner! From 11am until about 6pm. Never been able to do that with a salad before, I always get hungry. Dinner was steak with asparagus and potatoes, all grilled. With BF running and such now, he's eating a little healthier and I'm not mad about it. I ran my first C25K day. It's actually a free app called "Just Run: Zero to 5K" that just tells me when to run and walk, warm up and cool down included. I'm going to let BF know since I tested it out yesterday. Today is body weight (going to try to include kettlebell again) and cardio sprints on the rowing machine. I just finished coffee so about to get to that.

Oh my goodness, Godfathers?! I haven't heard of that place in a long while! Another great place we ate at fairly frequently growing up. This taco pizza conversation is really bringing up some memories, thanks y'all!3 -

3/10 DNW TRAVELING. Had bagels and lox for lunch and a lean cuisine for dinner yesterday. I drank so much water at ballpark I am still floating. Today is clearwater beach day. Son convinced me to walk. It's an hour by foot so very doable. I might have to uber back lol. Going to pick a local restaurant for dinner and have Maui and salad. Coleslaw and grapes for breakfast. Got my steps in yesterday by parking far from ball diamond and walking the concourse to avoid the beaming sun.

3/10 - 150.1- So after 21 years, my health-o-meter, lithium battery powered scale ran out of power. You can't replace the battery, so I had to throw it out. The newer scale I'm using now always ran about a 1/2 pound to a pound heavier than the old one, but I'll get used to it.

Robyn here in SE Virginia. My goals this round are: 1) to continue planning/logging meals; and 2) NOT to reward my last round's success with extra food intake (this is what I normally do). I lost 4.6 pounds last round (yay!). My plan again is to hold off on weighing until the end of this round.

3/10: DNW - I got in a sweaty Peloton workout yesterday but I'm still not doing a good job on the food side of things. It's hard to stay on track when being on "vacation" with our friends. Today we're going to Jamestown. It will be fun. The best part is spending time with two of our favorite friends.

179 / 178 / 177 / 176 / 175 / 174 / 173 / 172 / 171 / 170 👉 169
Round 216
I'm going to change it up a little this round, similar to shmmm3 and RockinRobyn672 . I'm going to weigh the last 3 days of the round only. I usually only have a weight goal to just lose. I'm going to set an actual weight goal this round to be below 176.
Number Days Binge Free: 4
3/03: DNW
3/04: DNW - Biggest snow storm of the year. I just got back in from shoveling the deck. I didn't shovel it last couple of storms, so with this storm added, I didn't want to take a chance. There had to be 2 feet of snow on it. Lots of calories burned and it's not even 9:30a - Yay!
3/05: DNW
3/06: DNW - The last 2 days have not been very good in any way (calories, water, exercise (except shoveling)). I'm off to a great start this morning and hope to post tomorrow that I hit all my goals for the day.
3/07: DNW - Good day yesterday. Rowed✔, Water✔, Calories✔. My calories were 1091. I'm going to start calorie cycling again where I eat lower calories one day and higher the next, mixing it up throughout the week with an average between 1200 - 1500 calories for the week. Hopefully this will keep my body from thinking I'm starving and slowing my metabolism. It also helps on those days where you just feel you need more calories.
3/08: DNW - Another good day. Biked✔, Water✔, Calories✔. Not weighing has been good and bad. When I'm doing all the right things, I miss it, because a small drop is encouraging, and as long as I am sticking to plan, the normal fluctuations don't get to me any more. However, when I binge the weight changes do get to me, and I like not weighing to give myself days to re-cooperate before having to see my weight. And I think it might stop the binge from going on for weeks/days by not getting depressed over my weight going up?? Not sure. I'll probably mix it up next round, OR (dare I say it) I could resolve this and just NOT binge and weigh every day. The games we play - but whatever works, right?!
3/09: 177.5 - Biked/Rowed✔, Water✔, Calories✔. I decided to weigh a day early and I'm glad to see 177.5, especially after the couple of bad days at the beginning of the round. I weighed 178.6, 178.6 &178.9 the last 3 days of round 215.
3/10: 177.9 - Biked/Rowed✔, Water✔, Calories✔. High end of my calorie cycling yesterday. Today's the low end. Beautiful day. Spring is coming! 🌻🌼🌷

I’m pretty disgusted with myself, which I know doesn’t help, but there it is. I had one great, no-snacking round in Jan and then completely lost the thread. I’m restarting journaling today—I think it helps—and will really try not to “night nosh.” I went for a long meandering “sniff walk” with the puppy yesterday, including his first walk in the woods. That was a lovely hour or so. Not the faster walking I need to get back to, but peaceful, and great for his mental and emotional development. Maybe mine, too! It’s really cold and windy this morning with freezing rain on its way, so I’m going to bundle up and go for a walk right now. Might improve my attitude. I have a little job to do that’I’ve been putting off for two months, and I realized last night that not doing it is freezing me up from doing other things, if that makes sense. So I’m starting it today, hoping to finish over the weekend. I’ve been reading and rereading all your inspiring posts about success on this journey to rev myself up. Thank you for those!

Good Friday. I’m planning a good Saturday, too. And for all of you!

Went a bit off the rails yesterday, despite my plans. DH wanted KFC, so we had that for late lunch/early dinner. I removed the skin, so not too bad, but I was feeling really down about some things and really wanted cake, so I baked one and ate some. My calories still weren’t over goal, but so much fat and sugar! Then for some stupid reason this morning I had granola and almond milk for breakfast and now I feel yucky. Again, too much sugar, not enough protein (though I did add collagen powder, but it’s not the same as eggs). I’ve got to get back on track. Maybe salad for lunch, leftover skinless chicken for dinner. And better choices! I’m taking slices of cake to my neighbors! Happy Sunday!

I’m starting to feel like I’m trapped in Groundhog Day! Yesterday was good, and I had lots of fun with puppy Booker. It was his 4-month birthday, and we celebrated by taking a long sniff walk, and then taking the tests for his AKC Novice Tricks Dog, Virtual Home Manners—Puppy, and Virtual Home Manner—Adult (they have to be 4 months to take the first and last of those). He passed them all with flying colors. Good boy. He started doggy school this week—obedience fundamentals and scent work—and is by far the youngest dog in his classes. He did great. I’m having lots of fun with this guy — and he keeps me moving! Here’s his photo yesterday. ❤️

Woke up to snow—beautiful on the trees—but it won’t last long. I have a bunch of indoor things I need to do, so other than running the pupper, I think I’ll just stay snug.I think I’ll make my bread-free salmon pattie’s with salad for dinner—just canned pink salmon and egg. Yummy!

Day, Weight, Comment
3/03 - 174.6 - nice little drop showed up this morning. We have reservations for another Localiscous restaurant tonight (3 course prix fixe menu) so aiming to eat light through the day and get in a good hike this morning with the doggo...the sun is shining, should be a good one!
3/04 - 175.2 - Later than usual dinner out last night....and wine....Ate super light calorie wise to save up for the splurge, it was worth it! Got in a hike yesterday....today that's not going to happen, like I've been reading from lots of you we got hit with the snow as well. Sounds like other areas in our province got it worse but we got a good 8" overnight. I'll be shoveling our steps and some neighbours while hubby blows out the driveways for exercise this morning...maybe a walk this afternoon once the sidewalks are cleared before we head up to the rec centre to watch my niece swim and then DS(15) has his last hockey game of the year playing for the league championship, conveniently the swim meet is at the same place as hockey...that NEVER happens LOL.
3/05 - 175.2 - Stuck here again...I think I sat here for a few days in a row end of last round, it must be a comfortable spot. Did not drink enough water yesterday. There was just so much going on with swimming and hockey (They won! Awesome game, fantastic group of kids). My sister and niece spent the night, was nice to have some time with them. I'll be at the pool again today to watch swimming, very different weekend routine so we'll see how I do with activity and food.
3/06 - 175.8 - result of a weekend out of routine and poor choices....it's Monday...fresh start! Trying to talk myself into a long walk today but I need to be back for a call later this morning...so need to leave now but I haven't finished my coffee.
3/07 -176.4 - yeah...food was great yesterday but happy hour wasn't...and I didn't get much activity in. Definitely heading to the woods today. We have my parent's dog for the week so I'm going to see how it goes with both of them. He's not very well trained and will likely pull my arm out of it's socket.
3/08 - 176.4 - Retaining something....I've been really great at planning and tracking my food calories but I've been losing the plot with a couple of drinks every day the last week, need to get that under control. Extra dog was pretty good in the woods yesterday, he's a bit pokey though, my Mackster and I are quick hikers. Today we're going over to a friends property for a snowshoe hike, not sure what muscles are going to feel it tomorrow, it's just ever so slightly different than regular walking.
3/09 - 175.2 - back here again...but at least it's heading down. Awesome hike yesterday, lots of hills. Will probably take it easy on the dogs today as they both crashed hard (our guy is in awesome shape for a large 10 year old dog and will walk all day in the woods if you take him but you can tell the day after a harder hike, especially in the snow, that he's not a pup anymore....mom and dad's dog is just used to walking with my 80 year old dad and only laps around the flat park trail). Hoping I'll have time to hop on the elliptical later today to add on some activity.
3/10 - 174.6 - Took all week but I'm finally back where I started this round. This weekend will be interesting. It's Hubby's birthday today, I should do ok with food, even with his creamy sauce dinner request.... but there will be cake. Tomorrow I'm heading down to Toronto for a "sleepover" with a couple of housemates from my university days. Dinner out and of course cocktails...these ladies fill my joy bucket so it will be worth it!!!

3/3 216.9 (-0.0/-0.0) and holding after 5 days of downtrend. I am good with that! We were supposed to get 8 to 10 inches of snow in the next 24 hours. I was ready to be shut in....now it seems we might get a dusting! WOW!
3/4 DNW (-0.0/-0.0) I was good all day until the snack fairy arrived along with her friend Bad Decision Maker....lots of salt and not enough water, the scale would NOT be friendly - so I'm not going to look at it!
3/5 218.8 (+1.9/+1.9) Faced the scale this morning. A couple of days needed to reverse this trend then downward spiral again, would be nice. I need to get meals planned for the week....definitely the key to success!
3/6 218.2 (-0.6/+1.3) I really dislike losing the same pounds over and over again. But, whose fault is it anyway? Good News - It's Monday and my projection says that I should see 215 ish later in this round..... Got back on the treadmill this morning...slow but got it done! Water, Water everywhere....now just drink it!!!
3/7 218.6 (+0.4/+1.7) I came home and made this super healthy meal consisting of whole wheat pasta (not a lot), artichoke hearts, spinach and tuna. It was ok. My thoughts on super healthy meals - you really don't want seconds🙂 But at the end of the evening, I felt myself looking for something for a snack. I found a couple of cookies😉 So a half a pound is explained.
3/8 219 (+0.4/+2.1) Came home to dinner that my husband cooked. He NEVER cooks. Maybe that "healthy" meal inspired him. He made a turkey meatloaf (it was really good) with mashed potatoes, soup and a salad. Normally I'd pass on the mashed and soup but I couldn't disappoint his efforts. Another half a pound.
3/9 220 (+1.0/+3.1) Not the right direction but yesterday was a food day. Went to a fashion show where there was lots of wine and food (lunch). Didn't plan dinner so had leftovers from my husband's meal that he prepared. Rough week and totally off plan. Think I'm resetting to day 1. I'm making something with chicken breast today. Friday - no idea. Saturday we are going to take a tour of Wrigley Field and then go out to lunch....so that brings me to Sunday - Reset
3/10 219 (-1.0/+2.1) Skipped the chicken, had a craving for ribs so prepared in the instant pot. Today will get some sort of fish. Resetting on Sunday.

Goals:
#1 Eat a good diet of MOSTLY no added sugar, ultra processed foods, or alcohol.
#2 Strength train or yoga or some actitivy at least 30 minutes per day.
80/20 rule is in effect this round. I'm trying for weigh in Wednesdays through March.
3/3 DNW After dinner I logged my day of eating and saw I was under 100 g carbs and way below calories. I'd had entirely air fried vegetables and chicken for my meals and snacks so I was low on both fat and carbs at the end of the day. To rectify the situation, I put together a high carb and high fat dessert that I am now inclined to share with those who aren't low carb: frozen dates, sliced in half but not all the way through (open like a clam shell), filled with a small bit of Neufchatel cheese, and back in the freezer for the cheese to harden. These are my new favorite things! High calorie for sure, but sometimes you need the boost. If I let myself go to bed with too much of a deficit, I can't sustain my diet goals the next day.
3/4 DNW Good day yesterday. Stay the course.
3/5 DNW Lots and lots of stretching with a nice long walk. Had a big weekend breakfast of potato hash and eggs, similar lunch, and dinner was weird. I cut up heads of broccoli to roast that were about to go bad. Sprayed them with duck fat and seasoned with salt. That was delicious (yay duck fat) and so filling that I couldn't stomach anything more. Ended up going to bed early and sleeping like a normal person. Didn't wake up once in the night. Didn't sweat through the sheets. Also weird for me, I'm actually hungry for breakfast. I'm going to try to replicate that today and see if eating the bulk of my calories early in the day and having a really light dinner lets me sleep two nights in a row.
3/6 DNW so yesterday's plan didn't go as planned. One day is just a day. Things more important than having gone all out over calories: I had only one alcoholic drink. Look at me moderating my intake! I had all my servings of fruit and veg. I had a great day. I don't have a sugar or alcohol hangover today.
3/7 DNW Good day. My net calories for the week show I can expect .5-1 lb weight loss. I set my food diary goals to keep maintenance calories so it's easier to keep track of any deficit or surplus. Monday, Wednesday, Friday strength training and light movement/yoga on the off days should mean I'm maintaining as much muscle mass as possible. Keep at it.
3/8 125.6 Right direction! My arms around the biceps are both down .5 inch and my lower belly is down .5 inch. I've never before done so much glute focused exercise consistently. 3 days a week, from February 1 to today, the difference is noticable! I feel tighter, and I've been standing with better posture. This challenge is the only reason I've been able to stay consistent. I thought I had terminal pancake butt after losing so much weight and my butt flattened and vanished. It's not a pancake anymore!
3/9 Had dinner out last night and out of curiosity I weighed this morning...127.6. To my utter surprise this number didn't upset me at all! At dinner I chose a healthier entree that was still fatty and delicious, just not as fatty as my usual deep fried choice, and I abstained from drinking and still had a great time. Socializing is always a trigger to drink too much. I had a light drink at home and was really able to enjoy it and fully relax rather than using as social lubricant.

I decided it was time to get serious about losing weight on January 1 when I weighed in at 210. My ultimate goal is to be in the 160's by my 60th birthday in July, but my first goal was to be 185 by the wedding I am going to March 16. I will hopefully reach that goal this round.

3/3 187.2 Had a good day yesterday, so not sure why the small uptick. Going out tonight, so I will try to behave myself...
3/4 186.1 Good! I was hoping that loss would show up today. Another night out tonight......
3/5 185.6 I am happy to see this number! I am almost to my mid March goal of 185. I wasn't sure it was possible when I started this in January.
3/6 185.8 I had a good day yesterday, so I'm not concerned about this uptick. I think my body is just adjusting to the big loss yesterday and the weekend of drinking some alcohol.
3/7 185.6 Had a good day yesterday. I think my body is still adjusting. Hopefully I'll have a drop tomorrow. We are meeting friends at Taco Tuesday, but no margaritas for me......
3/8 186.6 Drank wine at Taco Tuesday. It is showing on the scale...
3/9 185.8 Well, at least it's going down again.
3/10 184.7 I really had to work to get below 185! That was my goal for the wedding I am going to next weekend, so I am proud of myself. I would like to lose a few more this week so that I have a little wiggle room to eat and drink next weekend and not be 190 when I get back. The kids and grandkids are coming in this weekend, so I will have some challenges with eating out.

GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 216
Round 216
March 3 - 12, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
Goal for 216. Have no idea! I guess to keep making progress, and maybe finally sort out and organize those supplements I should be taking. Thinking about it, I guess I could add trying to lose 3 more lb by March 25, when my DD, SIL, and DGS a joining us in the keys. Am likely facing swimsuit time, and losing 3 (or 4) would put me back at a similar weight to last April when they came for a week.
History:
Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, and a DGS. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Selling family home distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

SW: 138.0
Day/Weight/Comment
3/3 – 137.8 Today is going to be challenging. For starts, something happened to my toe last night when I went outside barefoot. Hurts to walk, so I took the morning off with the hopes that it will just resolve. I am not finding anything “in” my foot and examining, it seems to have to do with the nail bed. Then, on top of not exercising today, we are going out to eat (already tracked a tuna poke bowl), and then this evening we are going to the movies and I am planning in for movie popcorn, which I have not had in ages. If I watch myself, all this will work based on calories, despite the lack of exercise. BUT, I will not be shocked if I have a sodium blip tomorrow morning.
3/4 – 137.0 Pleasant surprise. Yesterday did not go as planned, but I adjusted along the way as things changed. At the out-to-eat, there was a gorgeous basket of old bay spiced string fries on the table. I ate half the basket. But I did that with a clear decision that I was trading that for the movie theater popcorn in the evening. Totally worth it!! The poke bowl contents also seemed lighter than the pre-tracked standard bowl, so I re-entered that meal by components, and yes, the bowl came in lower. That difference got me a Yasso bar later in the day, and got that craving out of the way. My numbers all appeared good, but I still prepared myself for the no-walk-estimated-tracking-lots-of-salt uptick. I’ve already pre-tracked today, and the thing that became clear is that I need to go grocery shopping. I am missing some dietary components (like fruit).
3/5 – 136.8 Did walk 5 miles yesterday, despite my foot not yet being right. And had a long day of cleaning up from having new windows installed last week and the home is a mess (plaster and cement dust everywhere). Ate on point. Happy with the loss but want to make sure my behavior is maintainable. I tend to over or under eat.
3/6 – 138.0 Heavy dose Advil will do this, so not surprised. Yesterday, did a typical 5 mile walk with friends (so pace is very reasonable). All was good, and then, without cause, my back started killing me. There is left thigh involvement too, so I know it is that bulging disk issue I have had from time to time. But there was literally no trigger (which I have also had before). Going to shift to Aleve today, as overnight I purposely am beyond the over 8 hr dosage for the Advil. Trying to decide whether to walk this morning or not. I can wait 30 minutes or so to decide.
3/7 – 137.2 So I did go out for my walk yesterday. Joined the girls for 5 miles. I wanted the calorie burn to help offset my going out to dinner and having a cocktail before. Today, I gave myself a gift of a relaxing morning and day. Do have a dinner guest this evening. The same windower we entertained a week or so ago. But I’ve planned and tracked my whole meal, and even the whole day.
3/8 – 136.4 I enjoyed having a slower lazy morning. Pre-tracked my day and held to it. Since no exercise, I aimed to stay under by goal daily calories. Seemed to work out.
Today will be Taco Wednesday! Going to be trying out the La Banderita Carb Counter snack tortilla’s new flavor of Queso and Jalapeno. I use their “plain” carbcounter all the time. I love them. I’ve also recently discovered that Olé is competing now in the arena of low carb tortillas.
3/9 – 136.0 Enjoyed my tacos. I did under eat for the day. Not intentionally, I just ran out of things I was willing to eat, or was willing to take my Invisalign out to eat. All good. Scale is happy. Have pre-tracked today, as well as tomorrow and part of Saturday. Not planning on “eating under” multiple days. Tortilla report – Not sure there was a taste difference with the new flavor Queso and Jalapeno and they also seemed thinker to me (could be wrong), which I would not prefer. Will be trying the Olé next time I make tacos.
3/10 – 136.6 Calories were low/fine yesterday, so I was initially surprised by the uptick. Then, while out on my walk I remembered. I had pasta for dinner last night (4 oz dry) and I had forgotten all about how I had noticed years ago (in my WW days), that I always have a temporary gain. Because of that cause and effect, tracking helps me in that its data tells me to ignore the scale and that I am on track.

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 over 5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin
