    5/12: 132.9 - Well…c’est la vie. I know what I did (and didn’t do), so time to not do it again.
    5/13: 132.9 - It was a better day eating-wise and movement-wise.
    5/14: 132.7 -
    5/15: 133.4 - Time to turn this around
    5/16: 133.8 - Not going well…
    5/17: 132.5 - Better.
    5/18: 132.7 -
    5/19: 132.7 -
    5/20: 132.9 - Not my best round
    5/21: 133.4 - Only good thing about gaining at the end of the round is that it (hopefully) sets me up well to lose in the next round. Sometimes being in maintenance is a mind game.

    Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: + 2.9 pounds

    65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 223 (my 154th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine you are a star!
    Aim to stay under 140 and hopefully lose another pound. Need to stay on track. After all I am what I eat in more ways than one, my whole demeanour is totally different when I am happy with myself!!
    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!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

    5/12 DNW or post
    5/13 142.4 – after 12 binge free days, went totally off the rails for 2 ☹. Didn’t even do my walking ☹, missed logging yesterday, was even tempted to not weigh or post this morning, but have to get back on the wagon as I don’t want to face the consequence, so I’m back & I’ll try again.
    5/14 142 – 11.89 miles walked, 2/3 exercise calories eaten back, feels better to be back on track, but looking forward to the bloating subsiding.
    5/15 142 – no structured walking, met up with DD, DS & their families for a picnic at Calke Abbey, ran around with the little munchkins a bit, we all had a wonderful time, did indulge in an ice cream & a latte, maybe should have gave the red wine with our evening meal a miss, but no binge!
    5/16 141 – 9.92 miles walked, a third of exercise calories eaten back.
    4 binge free days – 3 days within exercise calories, consistency rules!
    5/17 140.2 – 9.84 miles walked, less than 10% exercise calories eaten back.
    5/18 140.2 – 9.8 miles walked, just over 10% exercise calories eaten back.
    5/19 140.2 - no structured walking, but did manage to track up 4.5 miles chasing after little DGC! Calories over, but I did choose a coffee over I've cream when I spilled the little munchkins, NSV!
    5/20 140 - 7.98 miles walked, just under 90% exercise calories eaten back.
    5/21 140 – 11.04 miles walked yesterday and 24 calories over. This was a round of two halves! The first few days I was horrendous, but at least I managed to almost pull it back to the end of last rounds start weight.

    THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
    REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.
    • Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
    • A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
    • Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
    • The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
    • Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
    • The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
    • When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
    • Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
    Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

    I am about 12 kg along the way to lose 32 kg. I use multiple tape measurements (cm) around my body because they aren't affected by salt intake. Apparently I've been trying to lose weight since September 2012, the last time I was at goal weight. Let's see if stopping eating sugary food is going to change things.

    Heaviest ever 1st Jan 2021, goal+31.8 kg

    March 2022, started measuring system 867.0 cm

    Here are my measurements, bolded means a column number has been chosen for comparison in future rounds, and the number is used to sum the total measurement

    99.0 90.5 101.0 56.5 46.5 55.0 47.0 99.0 92.5 101.5 19th
    99.5 89.5 100.0 57.5 47.0 56.0 46.0 100.5 91.0 100.5 20th
    102.0 90.0 101.5 57.0 47.0 55.5 46.0 103.0 92.0 102.0 21st


    Total is 790.0 cm

    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 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.

    5/18 – 119.2 ⬆️
    See, I ate less than my allotted calories, but I still gain weight. I think it’s because I ate a lot more carbs than usual.
    DH brought home some yummy treats last night. I ate 2 bites at dinner.
    Later, the treats called my name, but I stayed strong. No LateNightSnacking.

    Cross-fit Farming today: my shoulders are going to pay tonight
    - Farmers Carry: moved a lot of bags of rocks
    - Broad fork many beds

    5/19 – 118.6 ⬇️
    Not too stiff from yesterday’s farming.
    Nice 3miles walk this morning.

    It’s Day 99 of my daily movement.
    Looking forward to weight training tomorrow for *** Day 100! ***

    5/20 – 118.4 ⬇️
    Yay! Day 100 of daily movement/workouts!!!
    3 separate pull-ups! I’m coming for you 9-pullups! (PR 8 pullups in ?2019?)


    I’ve been converted. I love having a home gym. It’s downpour rain today, but all I did was roll downstairs and started my workout.
    I used to not be able to concentrate unless I drove to my local gym.



    5/21 – 118.8 ⬆️
    Last night, hubby and I went to watch our nephew place soccer in the pouring rain. Ooops, he’s playing in a completely different city, 1hr away. So with the aid of Yelp, we found a little gem restaurant in a strip mall for fantastic sashimi/no-rice sushi rolls.

    Lost 2.2# in this round: feeling great!
    Let’s see 117something in Round 224

    5/19-165-I finally made it back; it took a while to find the link-I had been gone so long. My life has been crazy busy, so busy that I don’t have time to walk. I’ve been cutting down on activities that take me away from other things I need to do. It’s wonderful to be here. Thank you @quiltingjaine ! Karen
    5/20-162-Yesterday, I started out counting my calories and tracking my food finally; that was an awakening. Heading to my neic’s graduation /birthday party..
    5/21-164–I’ll take that after 5 hours in the car and sitting at a party all day. Horse, quilting and chopping weeds today.
    5/22-163-Whwe! Happy to end there. I’ve had a few minor wins….didn’t buy Ho Ho’s to eat on the way home from the grocery store and did not buy an awesome corn dog at my favorite gas station.

    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!

    5.17.2023 - ⬆️ 170.8 I’m good with it. My moving average is 170.4. Had an awesome workout last night and I’m able to run longer without getting winded. 😊
    Tonight at the gym my knee was giving me problems so I ended up walking. I switched my strength exercises bc my knee just didn’t have it in it. So not much on exercise tonight. And office lunch was Mexican. I drank a ton of water so we will see how it plays out when I weigh in the AM.

    5.18.2023 - ⬆️ 171.8 expected this, so I’m good. I should’ve behaved yesterday but no regrets 😊 I worked remote today, so I was able to do a little strength training at home. Got some good cardio in at the gym tonight. I was much better with my food choices today. I’m sure tomorrow will go back down.

    5.19.2023 - ⬇️ 169.0 down more than I expected. My moving average is 170.1 so close. Cardio only at the gym tonight - I was feeling sluggish. Sat & Sun are “rest” days - from the gym anyways. I’m picking up my 2 yr old grandson for the weekend! I can’t wait to see him! I’m so happy that my weight stall is over. 19 lbs to go to my final goal!

    5.20.2023 - ⬇️ 168.8 I wasn’t expecting that, but happy to see it! Spending the weekend with our grandson, I’ll be tired, but worth it. 😊

    5.21.2023 - ⬆️ 170.4 Happy! Moving average is 169.6 - ready for the next 10 days!

    ***************************************

    5/10 147.4 (trend 146.9)
    5/11 145.6 (trend 146.7)
    -
    5/12 146.2 (trend 146.6) I had a bit of a weight spike over night, probably just water weight from carby snacks last night as I went a bit crazy with bread sticks and veggies with dip. I picked up my husband from the airport yesterday evening and was starving hungry after 6 hours in the car, so lost a bit of control. We also went to the pub for a pint and a catch up, so that didn't help! I'm glad to be getting back to my normal routine but also a bit worried about the extra temptation that spending time with someone who is a foody and eats whatever he wants, brings. I already had to talk him out of a takeaway last night! Fitted in a 4.5 walk in the morning, but no gym.
    STEPS 13,217

    5/13 146.0 (trend 146.6) Snacking in the evening is getting out of control, I need to find a way to manage things better. Totm is due soon and I can feel today is going to be shaded by pmt, I'm feeling grumpy, tired, and emotional. Did 1hr lower body weights but didn't find time for walking. We went to see a circus last night, it's a Ukrainian troop that's touring the country, called Circus Cortex. If you're in the UK and get the chance to see them, do!
    STEPS 7,132

    5/14 146.6 (trend 146.6) I haven't had much discipline so far this weekend, and it shows. Yesterday I was feeling really off, hormones I think. It's been so cold and wet in the UK this month, so I think there's a bit of nationwide gloominess going on, too. Anyway I was feeling rubbish so gave myself permission to have a really lazy day, hence the shockingly low step count. I didn't eat much during the day, then in the evening I made lamb kofta kebabs with garlic yoghurt, pita and salad. I had seconds, which I think is why I've got a gain today, 2 pita breads. This morning the sun is trying to shine, so I'm going to shower and get out for a walk before it changes it's mind!
    STEPS 2,032

    5/15 146.4 (trend 146.6) The day started well with a 4 mile walk and upper body at the gym, but then the sun came out and we got a bit de-mob happy and had a few too many beers in a lovely pub garden by a marina, then OH got a pizza which I had a few slices of, doh!
    STEPS 15,123

    5/16 146.8 (trend 146.6) 4 mile walk in the morning and 1hr lower body at gym. I was below my calorie goal and got more protein so I'm not sure why the gain today. It could just be because totm is due today and I'm a bit backed up and swollen. I'm going to have a consultation this morning with a dermatologist as my skin has changed quite dramatically in the last few years with wrinkles, dryness, rosacea, and sensitivity so I need some advice on how to take care of it. I've never done anything like this before and I'm a bit nervous of having my face looked at so closely and my lifestyle scrutinised, yikes, I'm very self conscious!
    STEPS 11,477

    5/17 146.6 (trend 146.6) I totally blew my calorie goal yesterday and ate around 1700. I think I was just feeling frustrated at finding it so difficult to recover from my workouts on a calorie deficit, and was feeling tired and achy, so just caved in. Totm is a few days late, same as last month. I'm suspecting this is the start of perimenopause, boohoo. I went for a consultation at a beauty therapy place yesterday and have decided to have a few procedures. An under eye vitamin treatment, botox to my frown lines, and laser treatment to the broken capillaries around my nose. It's not something I ever thought I'd do, and it feels a bit vain and ridiculous to even consider it, but it's things that have been getting me down for a long while and they're not getting any better on their own. 1.5hrs upper body and 6 miles walked total.
    STEPS 13,538

    5/18 147.0 (trend 146.6) I ate at around maintenance yesterday, due to having a few beers in the evening, but not enough actual food. I've really got to get a handle on this, I'm starting to worry that I'll be back in the 150s before I know it. We booked flights for 10 days in Portugal at the end of June so I've got a month to really focus on getting into better shape so that I can feel more confident in shorts and beachwear. Still no totm, which is messing with my head a bit now. No structured exercise yesterday, just a walk into town for an appointment and later a walk to the shop for groceries.
    STEPS 7,956

    5/19 146.6 (trend 146.6) I feel like I'm stuck in stasis at the moment, no movement on the scale and still no totm. It makes sense that I'm not losing as I have gone over my calorie goal more often than not this round, but it's also showing me that, even with regular exercise, my maintenance calories are already depressingly low at a weight that is 20lbs over where I'd like to be. No gym yesterday, I met up with my mum and went for a walk in the woods.
    STEPS 12,980

    5/20 145.0 (trend 146.4) Yes! Finally! Totm came this morning and my bloating went down, phew! Went to the gym in the morning for a lower body workout, then went to the beauty clinic and got my face prodded with needles so I looked a bit too freaky to go for a walk later on, hence the low step count.
    STEPS 3,874

    5/21 145.0 (trend 146.2) I am very lucky to have ended this round with a loss, I didn't put much effort in so was expecting to maintain. I think I must have just released some retained water, but I'm really happy to have made progress on the scale. Didn't wear my watch for half the day and didn't do any exercise, so I didn't clock many steps.
    STEPS 2,450

    STEP total: 89,779 / 85,000 round goal

    I hope your dermatologist consultation went well. I had it during my Canadian stay at the Toronto beauty clinic. It's normal to feel nervous about it. Focus on your skincare concerns and lifestyle. I hope that helps you.
