5/17 - 155.3 - I have banished the bloat! Well, travel bloat that is. I'm expecting TOM any day now and unsure where the pre-TOM bloat is hiding. Last night I felt really awful as I did evening yoga (work got busy so I ate, cleaned the kitchen, walked the pups, then did yoga before curling up to read and sleep). My belly was so bloated and, honestly, it looked like I had one of those 5lbs of fat visuals just sitting on my stomach under the skin. My clothes do a good job covering it, I guess. It's gone this morning, though, thankfully, and I feel back to normal. I'm getting ready to go out and run. I'm not sure, I might just hit 20 minutes this morning but I could also give myself 5 more minutes and do the 25 like a repeat Week7 of C25K. I'll see how I feel at 10 minutes out and if I can make it back up those hills or keep going a bit longer. I have "honey" lemon chicken bowls with bell pepper, carrots, broccoli and rice for lunch today and unsure dinner.

Previous Day's Comments5/12 - 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.
5/16 - 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.

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.
Ending Weight Round 222: 165.8
Round 223
Previous Days' Comments5/12 - 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!5/12 - 165.8
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.

No worries. I know exactly why the increase. I had some salty tortillia chips yesterday and not enough water. Good thing is it didn't set me off on a binge.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.100-day Binge-free Challenge starting March 6…
I want to see what happens when I don't give up!

@deepwoodslady Donna, Oh my goodness, take care of yourself. I see you're babysitting. I think you need someone to take care of YOU for a few days insteaddeepwoodslady wrote: »Round 223
MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
ROUND 180 FOR ME.
“Today….I am choosing Me”
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.

My name is Paula and I am a 46 year old 100% service disabled veteran from the Army.
Here I go for my fourth round! I signed up for a variety of challenges to help change my mindset about healthy habits and getting my weight under control as well as motivate and push me through some emotionally and mentally tough times! I know God has a plan for me, but what in the heck is it because I feel like I’m out here flappin’ in the wind! Jk. But, seriously, Jesus, take the wheel because I have no sense of direction & I got lost! I want a better quality of life where I don’t have to ask my husband why he has to pick fights with me all the time…it’s like daily now here recently…I don’t engage though anymore…I just pray he stops before I just…I don’t even know! 🫨😵😵💫🥴😮💨🤭. We always say we will keep trying and not get divorced, but I also don’t want to be in solitary confinement after a prison yard fight at the nearest prison for killing m husband after my prison boo just finished my corn rows….just saying…I don’t look good in corn rows….🤫
I also use Noom, GOLO, and intermittent fasting (IF) using a 16:8 (fasting hours:eating hours) schedule to help affect the change with my weight. I have also DRASTICALLY overhauled my eating habits and what I eat to a more clean way of eating…except for my sporadic emotional eating binge of Reese’s peanut butter cups that I at least have the dignity to still track. I have no shame.
Starting weight - 240.0 lbs
Challenge goal weight - 235.0 lbs
5/12 - 240.0 lbs
5/13 - 237.2 lbs
5/14 - 239.0 lbs
5/15 - 237.4 lbs
5/16 - 235.0 lbs (LOWEST WEIGHT I HAVE BEEN IN ABOUT 5+ YEARS) 🫡🤭😎🥰. I am working to get myself back on track and not let my emotional and mental state hinder me, but use my efforts to lose weight to support my mental & emotional state. It is the one thing I can control in my life & damnit I’m taking the reigns! I have been working out more though at home doing some grueling circuit training to work through some aggression and use that energy in a positive, body transforming way. I’ve added some new supplements to my repertoire and time will tell if they are effective. I did extensive research on science backed research study results to see which ones showed marked improvements in studies that seemed to be setup in a fairly solid way.
5/17 - 235.0 lbs Worked out yesterday after doing a fairly grueling workout the day prior because I just can’t help myself. It really didn’t work out as planned and I ended up cutting some of the sets I planned on doing because I quickly realized that, yup, a rest day would have been better advised. I ate late compared to usual due to social cues from my husband accompanying us getting along and experiencing joy from each other’s company versus his initiating arguments as he had been doing for the past week —which was just exhausting. We’ve been having some fairly deep conversations and I feel like we are reconnecting. I am hopeful! 🥰😅

Have you played with this simulator?
I haven't in a long while.
See, even the simulator confirms that I should be 105# as my goal.

SW: 123.6
GW: 118-122 (maintenance range)
5/12 - 122.2. That’s nice! Close to maintenance range! Maybe I can behave myself this weekend. I struggle when the kids are home because I can't really fast or I get impatient with the boys' antics. Just have to make good choices. I need to get a good workout in today. I haven't all week. I've been riding my new ebike around, but it's not much of a workout with the motor. On an unrelated note, since we talk about pets so much here, we had a vet appointment for the two dogs and the cat yesterday, and my dog Pancake has a mass that needs to be excised. I really hope she doesn't have cancer. The vet said since it was hard it concerned her, and it was difficult for her to move which indicates it's in her deeper tissue. We have a consult appointment at another vet next week because the mobile vet doesn't operate. Hoping everything goes okay there. She drives me crazy but she's the most loving girl. We would be devastated if we lost her prematurely (she's only 6).
5/13 - 121.8 (think I was dehydrated, too much alcohol the night before!)
5/14 - 124 (that made more sense!)
5/15 - travel scale - 123.8, ugh. I keep thinking I posted but I can't find my posts since Friday! Not sure how this week is going to go with the sodium from restaurant meals plus TOM coming around the bend. Going to try to do some extended fast days to keep things under control. Off to a good start for today at least. My hotel has a nice restaurant I'm looking forward to going to. I hope everyone had a nice mother's day! I got out with my 2 boys, husband, and 2 dogs for a little "hike" (basically a half-mile meander into the woods along a nice stream, a snack break, and a half-mile meander back out). It was the first time we've gotten the boys out with our wild and wooly dogs so it felt like a milestone! Then I flew to NJ and had very smooth flights but terrible delays AT Newark, with the train running oddly and the rental car check-in being an absolute mess. All told I got to my hotel at 1:30 AM, ugh. Work activities are off to a good start, though, so fingers crossed that continues all week.
5/16 - travel scale - 123.6 ok! I found an amazing nature preserve near my hotel with a huge network of trails. I went for a 2-mile trail jog yesterday and I might scope out a little more of it today. I barely slept due to work anxiety. Just had dinner yesterday but it was a cheeseburger and fries from the hotel restaurant, haha. Today I will eat more veggies and less grease.
5/17 - travel scale - 122.6. Getting close to my maintenance range again. Can I do it this week? I had a much better food day yesterday. I did have some grease but I also had a huge salad. My lunch (pho) saved me from myself by being too spicy to eat. I did a full body strength workout in the hotel gym yesterday evening and went for a jog this morning. I'm considering going into NYC tonight to see a Broadway show--either Hamilton or Six I think. It's been ages since I went, but it's also kind of an ordeal to get there from here. It looks like I can take the train from near work and get there in about an hour though. I've been so close to NYC so many times since I started this job and haven't gone. Will have to see how the work day goes. Happy hump day

Not sure where "HERE" is, but it's great weather in NYC right now.
Go spend an evening there.
Last month, we surprised DD and her friend with tix to Hamilton again, and they loved it!!!
Loved this Cuban restaurant - not a chain. Get the yucca fries!

Day, Weight, Comment
5/11 - 182.8
Ok, good start to the new round. Yesterday I kept my calories extremely low —880 — and while not a smart or sustainable number, once in a while it’s fine, and made me feel more in control. I also took two 30 min walks, and worked 3 hours on my garden makeover. All good. I’m feeling a bit more optimistic and am hoping for a reductive round. 🙂
5/13 - 184
Phooey. But yesterday’s number was probably artificial since my calories were so low on Thursday, and I did have some popcorn last night. I’m making a big salad for lunch or dinner, haven’t decided which, but I’m looking forward to it! Have a lovely Saturday, all!
5/14 - 183.2
Ok, that’s heading the right direction. Have a lovely Sunday, all, and happy Mother’s Day to the moms among us.
5/15 - 183.6
Gaaa. I snacked on popcorn, and then cheddar cheese, late last night. Why? I’m kind of fed up — literally and figuratively — with myself. I should put my animals in charge of my rations—they aren’t allowed to get fat. Oh, well….

Didn’t snack last night, and calories were below goal. If I stick to that…. Gotta straighten myself out. I can’t believe I’ve gained 5 pounds since Jan. 1. 😢😡🤯
5/17 - 183.4
Busy day yesterday, and I ate responsibly. Booker, now 6 months old, passed his Advanced Canine Good Citizen test in the morning for his Community Canine title. Good boy! He’s a handful sometimes at home, but I have to say he’s a delight in public, and pretty much unflappable — and he encourages me not to miss my morning and evening walks! He’ll be taking his Urban Canine Good Citizen test next week, and we’re starting to train for competition obedience and advanced tricks titles. That and gardening keep me mostly out of trouble, including food trouble! 😁 Planning a nice big salad for lunch.

Thank you everyone for being here for another round! I'm back too! Still have work to do! Intended to figure out how to fit kettlebells back into my life last round...and didn't even look at the set in the basement. Maybe this round?!?! My last two rounds have been very successful with tracking nutrition and staying active outside....but I'm thinking I need to work on body composition as well as just the number on the scale.
Female - 51yrs - 5'5"
Goal Weight - to hang out somewhere 145-150
R222 EW - 5/11 - 167.0
5/12 - 166.8 - continuing downward. Heading up to my parents place this evening for the weekend. Might bring my scale or use Moms. DS17 has a training shift for his summer job...and it's Mothers Day on Sunday so there are a few things planned that will limit my control on the food available but I'll do my best....and I'll probably want a cocktail on the dock tomorrow if this weather holds up.
5/13 - DNW - Wasn't able to get at the scale in Mom's bathroom before I ate BUT...she got a digital kitchen scale recently so it could accurately track my breakfast. Will see how the day goes...Dad, hubby and the boys are making dinner tonight so I'll just keep the rest of my meals light in case it's a calorie bomb. It's hard not to snack here, mom and dad are grazers and there's open bags and bowls of snacks all over the house just begging for a hand to grab a bite. I'm moving up here for two months at the end of June with the boys, it's going to be a feat of will power to get through that!!
5/14 - DNW - still at the parentals. Super long walk yesterday and then worked in the gardens with Mom...well over 17000 steps so hopefully I counteracted the deliciously rich sauce DS17 made for our dinner last night...and the Nana cookies I didn't resist...
Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms!!
5/15 - 167.2 - Well, it could have been worse after a very indulgent weekend. TOM also arrived this morning so there's that as well. It's Monday! Have a great week everyone!
5/16 - 168.6 - SO bloated! TOM day 2 is the worst! Did not get nearly enough activity yesterday...appointments!! Today we hike!! And garden!!
5/17 - 168.8 - UGH...still bloated. Some of it TOM, some of it poor food choices yesterday. I had the TOM munchies big time and we decided to try a new spot we can walk to for dinner last night....at least we walked. There were healthy choices on the menu, but there was also a fish and chip special....and TOM won all the battles yesterday. It's so weird, some cycles I have no bloating or cravings, and then some it's like someone else takes over my body, I guess I can blame it on Peri-menopausal hormones. Hopefully I'm at the tail end and I can move on and see how much damage I actually did by the end of the round once the bloat comes off.

I'm considering going into NYC tonight to see a Broadway show--either Hamilton or Six I think. It's been ages since I went, but it's also kind of an ordeal to get there from here. It looks like I can take the train from near work and get there in about an hour though. I've been so close to NYC so many times since I started this job and haven't gone. Will have to see how the work day goes. Happy hump day
Not sure where "HERE" is, but it's great weather in NYC right now.
Go spend an evening there.
Last month, we surprised DD and her friend with tix to Hamilton again, and they loved it!!!
Loved this Cuban restaurant - not a chain. Get the yucca fries!
https://www.yelp.com/biz/guantanamera-new-york
Thanks for the encouragement! I think I will as long as work can wrap up around 4 Thanks for the restaurant rec. And yeah the weather here in NJ has been lovely all week. I've been missing some rain at home in VA! 2 -

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!
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 put on 5# and I look 5months preggo.
5/17 – 118.6 ⬇️
I’m not sure what’s happening, maybe I’m still de-bloating, but I’m not used to losing weight. This Keto thing has me feeling full and no cravings, so I’m not stuffing my face with random crap. I plan my meals and REALLY look forward to my great dinners.

Hi, I'm Charissa - Round 223
Thank you, again, @QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!
Round 222 not the best. My take-a-way: lack of planning. Not just meal planning but event planning. Cinco de Mayo snuck up on me but I tried to manage the intake. Then my derailment came with my husband's surgery. Poor food choices and wine to end the day. Must get back on track in this round. The good news, I didn't totally erase the progress made in round 221! There's hope!

5/13 ~ 216.1/215.9 🍎
5/14 ~ 215.7/215.4 ~ Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and those that serve in a mothering role! Enjoy your day. I am very ready to get back on track for the remainder of May.🍎👌✅🚶🏽
5/15 ~ 215.3 DNW - Just didn't want to see it. I'll look tomorrow. Splurge with cheese and crackers and some chocolate flavored wine.
5/16 ~ 214.9/217 ⬆️ Well, I guess I'm glad I didn't look yesterday. I've got to get a handle on this. Funny, when I projected May - I didn't see such challenges. My meals are all pre logged for today and I'm under budget. Steps are trending nicely for today. I will focus on getting at least 64 ounces of water in...🍎👌🚶🏽Projection/Actual

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!
@pezhed Unfortunately no other sitter available. I have another daughter in the area but she also works. Sadly, in this small rural area there is no daycare centers or anything of that nature. In fact, this town is lacking in almost everything. With all my family now passed away that once lived here, I wonder why I am still here. I suppose it's because my children grew up here and have now settled here with their hubbys. I often feel like moving though.....5 -

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.
05/17 -196.2- (Trend weight 194.7) Are you freaking kidding me???? I know I’m not getting any exercise in due to being sick, but this is Ridiculous!!! Travel two days in a row with restaurant food too, but I could hardly eat since swallowing was so hard. Ate less than half my meals and threw the rest away! Antibiotic is helping make my throat feel so much better already. I would finally be able to eat and drink better, but I won’t. Not after this! I also wanted to get lots of rest (lazy day) to allow me to heal, but I won’t do that either. Not after this! Thanks everyone for the get well wishes.

Donna, I am no medical professional, but with all that is going on, I would chalk it up to temporary medication gain. Hopefully I am correct. Regardless, your body needs you to be kind to it so it heals, and then you care back to yourself again. Hopefully, the healing comes soon! 4 -
Did my 4 month invisalign check in. Skipped breakfast, and am now skipping lunch as my ortho is across the street from Richardson's dairy. Got myself a "small" Phantom Berry ice cream cup. It was not small but huge and wonderful. Going to make the rest of my day work around it. 5
