    Thank you @quiltingjaine for another round!

    💪🏋️‍♀️🤸‍♀️🎵💃👗👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💗🌻🏖🙏

    Heaviest Weight Ever: 186.0
    186 / 185 / 184 / 183 / 182 / 181 / 180
    179 / 178 / 177 / 176 / 175 / 174 / 173 / 172 / 171 / 170
    169 / 168 / 167 / 166 / 165 / 164 / 163 / 162 / 161 / 160 👉 159


    Stick to Plan:
    • Calorie cycle for a weekly average of 1200 to 1500 (with a maintenace day thrown in every now and then.
    • Exercise: Row, Walk, Bike, Weights, Dance, Jazzercise, Kayak, Hike Figure out this new reality of no exertion for 6 months per doctor's orders. Ugh!!
    • Water: Shoot for 80oz per day
    • Binge-Free & Sugar-Free for 100 days
    • Reduce added salt
    • Lots of veggies and protein, some fruit (very little processed foods or simple carbs which I hardly ever have)
    • I need to figure out a way to get more fiber, especially from grains.
    If I quit now, I will soon be back to where I started. And when I started, I so desperately wanted to be where I am now.

    Ending Weight Round 222: 165.8
    Round 223
    Previous Days' Comments
    5/12 - 165.8 I didn't realize it's been 3 days since I posted. I'm still trying to get my head around how I'm going to lose weight, retain muscle mass, and keep mentally healthy without exercise. The "exercises" I do are things I enjoy. However, my health situation is still precarious so I know I'll follow my surgeon's orders (plus my husband is watching me like a hawk 💚). I believe my metabolism has already slowed down but it's not only from no exercise, I think I'm causing it, too, from not eating enough calories. I haven't had an appetite - got to work on that!
    5/13 - 165.8
    5/14 - 165.4 Finally, a day not seeing 165.8! It took me 9 days to get past this weight, however, I was 169 on Apriil 27, the day I went to the ER. My diet has been wacky as $%^& since that day, incuding I have always naturally fasted for around 18 hours each day based on the fact I'm not hungry in the mornings. I now have to take meds at 8a with food. I'm trying to keep focused on the positives: On March 6, I was in that dreaded place of having to lose the same 20 pounds AGAIN, and on weekly binges - eating tons of carbs and sugar. I was around 180 and as of today, I only have 5 more pounds to go to be rid of that 20 pounds, forever!!. I've also gone 70 days binge-free and sugar-free! Yay!
    5/15 - 164.6 I'm glad to finally see 164.x.
    5/12 - 165.8
    5/13 - 165.8
    5/14 - 165.4
    5/15 - 164.6
    5/16 - 164.6


    Bingeing is why I'm where I am now. I want to see the results with 100 days of no bingeing. I'm not talking about going over my calorie limit or overeating, I'm talking full-out bingeing. And that's not just on bad foods, even when I'm eating well, I'll binge. This will be extremely challenging but if I stick to it (and stay off sugar and simple carbs to stop cravings), there is no way I'm not going to see consistent weight loss during these 100 days (not to mention the health benefits)! Part of this challenge, too, is if I do have a slip, that I don't revert back to old habits of bingeing for days/weeks/months. I will acknowledge the slip, celebrate that it didn't derail me, and just keep on keeping on.
    I want to see what happens when I don't give up!

    Breaking the salt habit (replace with spices and herbs) starting April 16. Plan: 10 days 1/2 tsp, then 10 days 1/4 tps, then 10 days 1/8 tsp, lastly no added sugar (maybe?)
    ✳= 1 day 1/2 tsp added salt / ✴= 1 day 1/4 tsp added salt / ☑= 1/8 tsp added salt / ^=1 oops Day
    ✔Went 10 days ✳ 1/2 tsp added salt only
    Now starting on 1/4 tsp added salt daily:

    100-Day Weight Tracking to remind me that fluxations are normal and that you can stay at a certain weight for days/weeks but it will eventually come off - so be patient and stick with the plan!

    5/16 - 156.0 - I guess I'm hydrated-ish again - hope so after 100+ oz of water! I'm not sure if this is still travel bloat, pre-TOM bloat, or a little of both because I still feel squishy and puffy this morning. At this weight, maybe I lost some fat and only have a blip up from bloating! A girl can hope and dream... I've been sleeping in and I finally feel like I've conquered my sleep debt - woke up at 630 and went straight into a walk with the pups. Drank coffee and wrote in my journal once we were back. Planning a quick yoga session for lunch break as well. I'm thinking tomorrow I may try to run if I'm feeling this good at 530 - repeat C25K week 7 (25 min runs) and save Week 8 (28 min runs) for next week since I have a late start to the week. Ankle is a little sore from all the storms so I'm going to monitor my body before I make any final decisions. Today I'm making up some "honey" lemon chicken with steamed broccoli and rice for lunch meal prep the rest of the week. I'm subbing maple syrup for honey in case BF wants some as there will be extras- he's very allergic to honey. I'm about to pre-log the most calorie-dense Taco Tuesday meal we make as well as this meal prep to ensure I'm good on the calorie front. I fasted until 10am yesterday so hoping I can fast until lunch today without issue - it helps a lot. Also planning on an after dinner walk with the pups again. All the rain forecasted for this week is now pushed to Friday and beyond.

    Previous Day's Comments
    5/12 - Up a smidge from lots of carbs and sodium. I ended up eating spaghetti with a small side salad I threw together (but just now realized I forgot to log the salad...I had the calories for it so not a big deal) only for BF to decide to go to Thirsty Thursday last minute anyway. Ugh. I felt the carb-heaviness all afternoon. Dinner wasn't terrible but he made mashed potatoes with, you guessed it, garlic salt. He loves salt and he'll be the first to tell you. UGH. I'm waiting for the sun to peak up just enough (about 20 minutes) while typing and drinking coffee to take the pups on a quick walk, both for me and them. BF said his alarm is for 7, he'll drink coffee, and THEN start moving towards leaving so I have plenty of opportunity. All I have left is to wash my face and brush my teeth (after coffee is consumed, always if I'm not out and about). Goal today is to get as many steps as possible despite driving. Also, aiming for at least 64oz water without requiring extra stops or being up all night tonight. Logging food and really eating slowly to make sure I can tell when I start feeling satiated, not quite full to stop eating. I'm hoping to limit the damage of eating fast food and gas station junk today and Sunday as much as possible with little tweaks. Have a great weekend, everyone! I'll see you again Monday.
    5/13 - Out of town - family reunion
    5/14 - Out of town - traveling home
    5/15 - I'm 98% sure I'm only this low due to dehydration. I'm back to work today and therefore back to routine and habits. 23 hours in the vehicle between 7:30am Friday morning to 8:15pm last night. My body is so sore. I'm pushing off my workouts until my body feels recovered enough - I feel like attempting to work out at the level I have been is a recipe for injury. Walking and yoga will be my friends this week. I'm expecting a blip up these next few days as I re-hydrate immediately followed by all the good pre-TOM bloat that occurs that I anticipate happening later this week. I'm hoping everything will start dropping off by the end of the round, but I'm putting it out now: I don't expect this round to end on a "good" note. Either the same or slightly higher and I will NOT be upset with myself no matter how hard it is to logic the upset out of me.

    05/14 -194.8- (Trend weight 194.1)

    05/15 -193.8- (Trend weight 194.1) So very very sick the past couple of days but Covid negative. Blood pressure is way too low again and my throat is swollen up pretty bad. Knocking me off my feet and into bed. I will catch up on posts later.

    05/16 -193.6- (Trend weight 194.3) I ended up going to the emergency room yesterday. I have a strep throat and the infection is what threw my heart off. I’ve been given an antibiotic, must closely monitor blood pressure and heart rate. De-stress and rest. That is easier said than done. So today is another day of travel for me. About 2 hours away to the endocrinologist for my diabetes. I’ll try to rest tomorrow Wednesday before the babysitting marathon begins again on Thur, Fri and Sat. Sunday off this week. No rest for the weary, as they say.

I’ve been given an antibiotic, must closely monitor blood pressure and heart rate. De-stress and rest. That is easier said than done. So today is another day of travel for me. About 2 hours away to the endocrinologist for my diabetes. I’ll try to rest tomorrow Wednesday before the babysitting marathon begins again on Thur, Fri and Sat. Sunday off this week. No rest for the weary, as they say.

    Thank goodness it was caught. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s

    I’m so sorry about the health scare. I hope you can get it all sorted. I also think your daughter? would understand if she needs to find alternative childcare so you can take care of yourself!

    Always welcoming new friends 😊
    HW: 250
    CW: 170.6
    GW: 150

    Goals: increase steps per day
    Cardio 5x a week
    Strength 3x a week
    100 oz h20

    5.12.2023 - ⬇️ 170.6 😳 Nice! I drank tons of h20 so hopefully that did the trick! My lowest weight to date since I started in Feb ‘22! YAY! 🎉 strength & cardio at the gym tonight. I also sat in the sauna for about 10 minutes. I did eat 2 squares of pizza for dinner - I’m hoping that doesn’t screw me. Downing some more water!

    5.13.2023 - ⬆️ 171.0 😊 The pizza didn’t do as much damage as I had anticipated. My trending weight is 171.4 so I’m happy with this. Today is a rest day for exercising but we are bowling tonight, so that will be a little something.

    5.14.2023 -⬆️ 171.2 Need to focus before this gets away from me. Ate some pizza again yesterday, but wasn’t horrible. One thing I learned is to not deprive myself, but instead to eat in moderation. Sometimes I feel like I have my eating disorder in check and other times it seems to win. So far, I feel I am still in control. Trending weight is 171.3 so I’m still in the green. I also need to get back to updating daily and not every other day. It’s been a hectic schedule lately.

    5.15.2023 - 170.2 ⬇️ I do believe my plateau is over! 🎉 I was hesitant to think so earlier since I’ve bounced back and forth so much the past 2 months. As aggravating and sometimes discouraging as it is, I need to “trust the process.” No gym over the weekend, but did a lot of cleaning around the house and moving around furniture. Tonight is back to the gym for some strength & cardio.

    5.16.2023 - ⬇️ 169.8 🎉🎉🎉 YAY!!!! I finally hit my 80 lbs lost!!! WooooHoooo!! Next goal is 90!

    That’s incredible! Great job!

    Round 223: JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS


    Hi, I’m Amanda, almost 50, wicked short 4’11” from New England.

    My 1st goal is for mid-June (trip to LA/Vegas),
    2nd goal for mid-August.

    Appreciate all your support.

    - Pre-plan meals for the day
    - Daily movement
    - No Late Night Snacking

    Round 221 SW: 126.8
    Round 222 SW: 122.6 ⬇️ debloated 4.2#
    Round 223 SW: 121.0 ⬇️ 1.6#
    Round 223 GW: 119.5


    5/12 – 121.6 ⬆️
    Woke up early for my walk, before it got too hot.
    Made beautiful corsage and boutonniere for DD’s Prom. She’s so beautiful!
    2s84t26ta8i3.png

    5/13 – 120.6 ⬇️
    I think I need to kick up my daily workouts a bit, to try to lose 4# in the next 4.5weeks for my LA vacation. Need to add in cardio on weight training days (since I don’t burn that many calories with weight training).


    5/14 – 119.4 ⬇️
    I did measurements today; I’m steadily losing inches (from de-bloating):
    - 1” in my chest ☹,
    - 2.75” in waist,
    - 1.5” in hips since last month’s measurement).

    Happy Mother’s Day!


    5/15 – 119.4 ⬆️
    Didn’t overeat at the Mother’s Day lunch yesterday.
    Great WO: 3 separate pull-ups this morning! Felt great/less bloated.



    5/16 – 119.0 ⬇️
    Great 4miles walk this morning, gabbing with gf.

    You know, 1 good thing about being wicked short is that a loss of 8# is noticeable; I’m down 1 size!
    BUT the reverse is true also: just putting on 5# and I look 5months preggo.

    I’ve got 3 inches on you but I really relate to this!!
