5/2 147.2 (trend 148.2) Yesterday I had a bit of a day off and just enjoyed myself. I met up with my mum, brother and his family, and we went to a village May Day fair as it was my nephew's 3rd birthday. I didn't have much control over what food and drinks I had as my brother brought a picnic for us all, so I had a big cheese sandwich, crisps, birthday cake, and coffee with sugar. Walking was at toddler-pace so didn't count as exercise! I did play football with my older nephew for a bit, which helped get my heart rate up at least. I'm fully responsible for getting home and eating a mini muffin and some Bournville though! Fresh start today, OH is away until next Thursday, so I have no excuses for overeating, being lazy, or skipping workouts.
I am determined to leave the 150s behind this round and never see them again!

Good Morning!
My whyI am playing a game with myself & setting little daily goals of losing 0.35lbs per day and using those goals to help me stay motivated and on track is a way of fasting that I saw in another group. Using my bathroom scale as a weight loss tool works for me. There are days that my weight increases by 2 pounds or more, and I understand that this is mainly water weight, and can go away as quickly as it came. That is why there are times that my daily goal and my weight that day are pounds apart. I am not expecting to lose 2 pounds of body fat by the next day. But it is possible to lose 2 pounds of water weight by the next day, so I stick to my goals. If it takes longer than one day to lose that water weight, I extend my fast for another day. Sticking to my plan, I will reach my 1st goal weight of 172 pounds on September 16 2023. This will put me in the overweight weight range which I have not seen since 2007. At that point I will decrease the daily amount to 0.2lbs per day to get to my ultimate goal of 140 by my birthday in February. I also have a cruise booked for my birthday & one of the tours offers a mini photoshoot. What a great opportunity to be at my goal & get semi professional pictures on the beach!
I did an extended fast on April 9th that lasted almost 9 days. That got me back on track after Easter.

Moving forward from the last round. I wasn’t able to fast yesterday because my stomach hurt. I wasn’t feeling well so my activity was low. I did work a full day. Today I will concentrate on drinking enough water & I will attempt to continue my fast. I am still behind but not too behind so fasting doesn’t feel urgent. I guess I will see how I feel after my coffee & go from there.

Day, Weight, Comment
5/02 - 157.0 - No worries -- DOMS and/or sodium. I know dinner had quite a bit of salt included in it so I'm not too surprised if it's that. Wouldn't also surprise me if my muscles were holding on to a little extra from yesterday after a week off from workouts. Just because I don't feel sore, doesn't mean I'm not retaining anything in that regards. I am exceptionally sleepy this morning. The dogs and I had a rough night (they had a rough night and being a light sleeper, I was dragged into it involuntarily). I think I'll focus on yoga today as my "strength workout" since I am so sleepy. Maybe a little wake up one this morning and a little bedtime routine to help relax me before I curl up to read tonight? I'll aim for both, but will certainly knock out this morning's. Hopefully, too, a nice after dinner walk to help add movement for both the dogs and I.

Here we go again!! I've had 6 straight days under 170...but just barely...hoping to keep it that way and make the gap bigger. I think I'd like to start incorporating some strength training back into my activity routing. 6plus years ago I was majorly into kettle bell workouts, started having some issues with my elbow and shoulder and just stopped. I've got a whole set of them that my boys now use. This week I'm planning on carving myself out a space down there to give them a go again...starting slowly to make sure I get my form back.
Off we go friends! Make it a good one!

Round 222
May 2 – May 11, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
Goal for Round 222 – I want to start the process of transitioning to maintaining. While I would like to get to 126 (roughly weight at daughter’s wedding), I also don’t want just an “on” “off” switch. I’d like to finally start filling in the supplement section that I have claimed I was doing since February. And, I’d like to start expanding what I do for exercise. For a weight, I would like to end the round no higher than the nice surprise of 128.2 with which I started the round.
During this round, I have DEXA scan, BMR, and risk assessment on May 6th. Entering a chipped 5K on May 7th (not sure if walking or running, but I need do it to adjust my comfort zone). Mammogram on May 8th. Annual physical also on May 8th. Likely, all my annual blood work and such on May 9th. Then Dentist on May 11. A regular apmt except for it will be the first time seeing the dentist since starting Invisalign, which then includes me brushing, flossing, water picking, rinsing, etc, many many times a day. Going to be an informative round.
History:
Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a DGS, and second GS on the way. 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: 128.2
Day/Weight/Comment
5/02 – 129.2 Had a visit with my friends Ben and Jerry, that I have not seen in 2023. Oh, well. The irony is that I was thinking how I would not buy this flavor again, as I finished the ice cream pint. I even thought how I could throw the rest away, but I ate it anyhow. The good thing is that I tracked it, and I stepped on the scale today despite knowing what was coming. The questions that come from this are 1) why did I allow myself to purchase it? It was on sale and was thinking I would find a day to make the ice cream work (just not yesterday) 2) why did I allow myself this stress response? Less than 24 hours from getting home we found out the master bathroom shower is somehow leaking through the walls into the basement and we are now facing getting a plumber and potentially wall repairs to our newly refinished bathroom after he gets done. Still, that is not an excuse and something to improve.
On a positive note, I did my first Massachusetts walk yesterday. Not super long, only 3.4 miles, but I had a great walking pace, especially since I have not seen a hill in ages (florida elevation gain during my walk is 7 ft, but yesterday was 208 ft). It also got my BPM up to a nice rate. Average was 132 BPM, with a high of 150+.
I swear that sharing with this group is like therapy!!

My 12th Round
Age 53, 5’4”
June 2005: 345 lbs (Highest known weight before WLS Aug 2005)
June 2017: 241.8 lbs
January 2023: 157.6 lbs
Weight Beginning this Round: 147.8 lbs
Goal Weight: 140 lbs
This round's daily goals:
1. 1400 calories + <½ of exercise calories 10/10 days –
2. 8 cups fluids 10/10 days –
3. Strength training 4/10 days –
4. Walk:Run 4/10 days –
5. 5 mins Affirmations 10/10 days -
5/2 – 147.8 lbs – It is a new round. That is the beauty of a 10-day challenge – you get to start again. I am NOT going to dwell on the last round – that will not help me to move forward. All I can do is try to stay positive and start fresh and try to make some adjustments so that I can get closer to my goals. I have adjusted my goal weight to 140 lbs, for the moment. I may move it down again, at some point, but for this round it seems like a good place to set my sights. I have been feeling overwhelmed and depressed, for some reason, for the last couple of weeks. I have felt like there hasn’t been enough time to participate in this challenge, as well as I would like. I know a few folks offered me some kind words in the last round, which I failed to recognize – thanks to all those who offered me encouragement!! It is greatly appreciated. (And yes, “Jenny food” equals frozen Jenny Craig meals.) 😊 I forget if I mentioned in the last round that my gym is bumping up the monthly fee. I am waiting for them to tell me the exact price, but I am pretty sure I am going to cancel my membership. I had purchased bands from Amazon a few months ago; I finally got hubby to get them out of the box for me. My intention is to set myself some sort of exercise plan that I can do here at home, which I will need to establish today if I intend to complete a session tomorrow, as it states on my weekly exercise plan. Today is a walk:run day, so I need to focus on making that a priority for the day. In terms of improvements for this round, I think I can identify that lack of sleep and lack of fluids may have impacted my energy last round, which in turn impacted my ability to maintain my exercise routine, which in turn impacted my mood, which in turn impacted my ability to attend work, which made me feel guilty and ashamed, which impacted my sleep… you see where this is going. Lol. Okay, we are off to a new 10 days. To all those who have been struggling of late, let’s lift one another up, and help each other to be a bit better this round than we were last round. That is all we can do.

@clprieur I am responding to you from the point of view of my mistakes, and being that I am over 60, I have had more years to experience them.
The key point I am going to mention is that this group is perfect for you in that you can share as much or as little as suits you at a given time. My participation varies from round to round and even day to day, and even with that I wish I had even more time to spend, but life happens. Whatever you do, don't walk away, even if that means even posting a "hi" with no weight. It will at least help you to remember what you are hoping to do. If you are stressed, take some pressure off. Make your goal 145 and stay there and "succeed" for however long you need. I am prone to the "walking away" mentality and did so in 2020 when various life events made me "too busy". I then put on 25 pounds. Don't be me.
Yes, you did mention the price hike on your gym. I remember reading it. One of the things I started back on 2019 if trying to have my exercise be independent from gyms, trainers, etc. I wanted this because we are constantly changing where we are, and that gym or trainer relationship can't be consistent. This was also helpful during COVID as it removed that issue. You may be really please in creating that independence for yourself.
also, this might be an interesting thread for you https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/47445674#Comment_47445674

⏱️ Intermittent fast >16 hours 7/10 days
💪🏻 Intentional exercise 7/10 days

5/2 - 123.2. This week is so exciting! First, I love it when a round starts close to the beginning of the month, feels like a fresh start! Then I found out yesterday that my new cargo ebike has arrived at the bike shop and just needs to be assembled. And Thursday we close on the sale of our rental property and hopefully get our counters installed! Super exciting all around 😊 Trying not to get my expectations too high on any front but it’s hard not to!

RND 222 SW
Goals: no ultra-processed food, added sugar, or dairy. Whole foods, plant-based Mediterranean diet mindset.
#1 Calories at max 2000 for 10/10 days
#2 strength train or yoga for 10/10 days
#3 drink 3 liters of water for 10/10 days
End of RND 221: 133.2
5/2 130.6 calories over 2000 but lots of water and very little salt. Husband made braised lamb with carrots, potatoes, shallots, and garlic for dinner. It was incredible. I had seconds of all the vegetables. Today's focused goal is to not snack between meals or after meals. Let myself feel hungry and acknowledge it and wait for meal time.

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 6 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

05/02 -193.6- (Trend weight 192.3) The madness must stop! When I saw the scale I just wanted to crawl back into bed and put my head under the covers. I would love to get outside but it’s just too cold. Snow yesterday and today. It wouldn’t be northern Michigan without snow in May, right? I’ve got to cut the snacks and do some inside workouts. Maybe a little dancing will lift my spirits while burning some calories.
