I’m much better when I have a hard deadline with a set goal to achieve by then.
4 separate pull-ups this morning!
I think 1 reason I’ve struggled with food is because I grew up poor.
So I have trouble with wasting food, or trying to get my money’s worth at buffets, or like today, at my daughter’s high school concert there’s potluck refreshments. Usually, I would get a few items EVEN IF I’M NOT HUNGRY. How can I not take food when it’s there and “free” (when I donated ~$20 in watermelon/fruit salad, plus our entrance fees)?
So I am working on not focusing on the food. I don’t need to take food, just because it’s free and it’s there. I’m there to watch my daughter perform, not for the free food.

TMI – that loss is mainly from the bathroom
What’s working for me now is to basically just eat 2 – 3 meals a day, and no snacking in between or at night.
**BUT** the diet makes me nervous about going out to eat or getting together with friends involving food.
When it’s just me and my house/family, I have total control of what I make/serve. But at a restaurant, unless I just eat plain salads, AND forgo drinks, I’m afraid to give into temptations.

My son’s birthday is tomorrow, so I’ll enjoy a lovely dinner with family, AND looking forward to amazing tres leches cake.
5/24 – 118.4 ⬆️
So excited! It’s my son’s 19th birthday today; he has his last final exam at MIT; we have dinner plans for Peking Duck at a great Boston restaurant, then we move him home to have some yummy tres leches cake.
It feels like I’ve spent his entire life nudging/pushing **INTO** a college, and we blink and he’s done with his 1st year of college.

Nothing new.
5/23 - 183.8
I have a lot of busyness coming up this week in the mornings — this morning, Booker has class and will take his Urban Canine Good Citizen test. Tomorrow a zoom meeting with my writers group. Friday mammogram and bone density scan. I guess I have Thursday to work in the garden. 🙂 Anyway, Sunday I baked a cake, which DH asked for and, honestly, I’d been craving. It was good and I feel I got that out of my system for a while with minimal damage. So this afternoon I’m planning to get various salad fixings ready for easy use the rest of the week—chop chop chop. We’re having gorgeous weather, clear and just verging on hot. Perfect for all the planting and weeding I need to do. I thought I’d share a pic of one of my favorite easy summer lunches—makes me think of the time I spent studying in Cairo wayyyy back. Stuffed grape leaves (I love My Greek Mezze brand from Greece), tomato, hard-boiled egg, good olives. Sometimes I add hummus (Cedar’s brand is my favorite) and/or sliced bell pepper or celery. Savory, low cal, satisfying. Have a great day. All!
5/24 - 183.8
Yesterday was a good, busy day. Booker passed his Urban Canine Good Citizen test with flying colors. Good boy! And I mostly ate responsibly. 🙂
5/25 - 183.6
Yesterday felt busy but I don’t seem to have gotten much done. Today I get my strength training—I need to move a small lilac and remove two dead plants (shovel involved), and put down landscape fabric in another area. And pull more blankety blank weeds! All of which burns a few calories and keeps me out of the kitchen!

@deepwoodslady I’m sorry about your friend. I’m going through something similar with a good friend who, after years of eating badly and not exercising at all, is now having a collection of serious health issues. I’m torn between feeling really sad for her and being furious that she took so little care of herself. Good lessons for us all indeed! Wishing your friend — and you — the best.4

In the process of trying to sell my house… tomorrow is the last day for the conditions to be fulfilled and the deal will hopefully go firm 🤞I was feeling ok with all this but then yesterday anxiety had me wanted to devour everything in the kitchen. 😭 active day planned for today to help keep my nerves at bay!
Wishing you strength and peace.
Selling our house/moving was one of the most stressful thing we did, when our 2 kids were 3 and 1.5, trying to pack a house around nap time/after they're in bed.
I'm cringing at the thought of moving, after DD is done w/ college. (have so much junk to get rid of: yes, I know, we're starting to do that slowly each year).
chiming in. Yes, selling our house of 28 years & buying condo was the start of my most recent weight demise. @BrenM1985 don't be me. Remember yourself. Stay in the group. That helps with mental reset.4 -

Always welcoming new friends
HW: 250
GW: 150
CW: 170.4
Goals:
Cardio x 5 days a week
Strength x 3 days a week
H2O 100 oz a day
5.22.2023 - 🟰170.4 Had a good weekend with my grandson, but not enough time. Gym tonight and Monday is always the roughest. Thinking I should at least do some cardio or light strength workouts on the weekends to make Monday easier. Let’s rock out these next 10 days and end this month strong! Cheering everyone on!
5.23.2023 - ⬇️ 169.4 Had the day off due to equipment failure. Good for me 😊 got the front porch and back patio cleaned off and some flowers potted, laundry done, dishes and dinner. Now heading to the gym! I hit my goal of 10k plus steps for Monday.
5.24.2023 - ⬆️ 169.8 Hit over 13k steps yesterday 🎉 Good night at the gym. My youngest is graduating 8th grade today and my Momma heart is struggling. ♥️
5.25.2023 - ⬆️ 170.2 as expected, actually I expected worse. Already got a walk in this morning now that it’s officially summer break - well for a week anyways. Football practice starts next week bright and early at 6am! I wish they would’ve given the boys more of a summer break before practice but it’s part of it. Can’t wait to see how he progresses his freshman year!

I’m surprised I didn’t gain more weight, after last night’s amazing dinner and tres leches cake. I haven’t had this much carbs/sugar in a month.
Let’s see if the weight gain increases tomorrow, so I’ll know how my body handles the re-introduction of carbs into my system.
Recommend:

Round 224 – May 22, 2023 –
Wishing everyone a great round! I saw someone else mention 4th of July as a good milestone to look forward to. Thank you @musicsax for setting us up. Happy quilting @quiltingjaine!
“Your body deserves this” is still the quote that keeps me going.
Female, 5’8” , 50ish
Highest Weight: 256lbs
Ultimate Goal: 180lbs
Starting weight for R224: 218.0 lbs
R224 Goal Weight: 217
Focus is not overdoing exercise.
[ Spoiler ]
1st round (223)– Lost .7 lbs. Body fat % went down by 2 basis points. Method was shake/bar, a meal with just protein and veggies, then dinner eating a “reasonable meal” with carb/protein with husband. Weekends included small servings of food eating out except Sunday had a big fatty pasta dish. Learned – Overexercise habit costs me 2 days of active living and the fatigue triggers me to overeat.
[ /Spoiler ]
Day-Weight-Comment about previous day
5/22 – Monday – 218.0. Planned and stuck to a shorter bike ride. It’s weird that my weight went down a little after eating high calorie yesterday. Maybe, just maybe, I should eat more on weekends when hubby and I are out and about for hours. Will see what happens next week. Dare I try adding strength training? Would that violate my “no overdoing it”.
5/23 – Tuesday – 218.2. Not a meaningful change. Went on another bike ride and kept it short but on Tuesday afternoon feeling like I was hit by a bus. Pain only started in the afternoon and did move and stretch so not sure what’s going on. Could be the old inflammation problem.
5/24 – Wed – 218.0. Pain yesterday and ate sweets for dinner. A hot bath actually helped a lot. Searching exercise plans to try that won’t kill me.
5/25 – Thur – 219.7. Changed a medication. Still dealing with soreness.

MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
ROUND 181 FOR ME.
“Today….I am choosing Me”
MY STATS:
05/23 -197.0- (Trend weight 195.5) I’ve really put some thought into this and decided it is a cross between laziness and depression. I just don’t feel like meal planning or cooking. I have a grab ‘n go mentality right now. When my depression sets in I really have a hard time following through with anything. No focus. Feet dragging the ground. A bit listless. I don’t have the energy to exercise, or plan, or research or do any of those things I normally do. I’ve really got to pull this together.
Sorry I didn't have time to respond to you this morning Donna, you have been on my mind all day.
I'm sorry you feel like this, but I have been there and can empathize, in fact I was in that very same place last week. I know my Mom (bless her) would have said to 'pull yourself together', but I know it's not as simple as that. You are doing so well, beating the medics who told you different and you are so worth it. But as I know myself you have to get that mind set again to get back on the wagon. I'm gunning for you, I really want you to succeed, show 'em you can do it. I'm proud of what you've done so far despite all those obstacles that keep being thrown your way. I really hope that you'll be back in the groove shortly. Sending you hugs and strength to succeed 🤗 🤗🏋️♂️💪 xx
@musicsax Thanks so much for your kind words. The episode with my dear "older" friend really gave me a jolt regarding doing my best to maintain my health. I had a good day yesterday and burned a few calories too. Your support means a lot!

05/24 -196.8- (Trend weight 195.6) A small drop on the scale but a continual increase in trend weight. I must do better! Yesterday was a wild day. I took my elderly friend for a very slow walk with her poodle to a hiking trail. We were only about 3 minutes in when she said her legs were feeling very tired and weak so we turned back around. Before we could clear the woods (we could even see the cars through the leaves) she said she had to sit down and tried to sit down on a big log. She then got stuck not able to quite sit down and not strong enough to stand again. I tried like hell to get her standing all the way to no avail. A man and his son came along on their bikes and I asked for help. They tried too. We could get her up standing, but then her legs would collapse again. They were just too weak. I had to call an ambulance for a lift assist to my car. I drove her back home. After resting for a bit during the 2 minutes ride, she was able to get out with the assistance of her walker which she had left at home. I got her in the house, rested her, then we went on her front porch with coffee and water for a couple of hours. I got her a small snack. Poor girl was embarrassed, frustrated and upset for a bit. She is 78 now but she has lost a lot of muscle mass from lack of activity. She does sit around too much although she used to be my walking partner and did a lot of walking and gardening in her day. She does very little these days and it’s really hurt her overall agility. I take her to a lot of her dr appointments and they all keep telling her to walk, to exercise, to move move move but she has just given a lot of it up. It was a great lesson for me since I am only 2 years into my own retirement. I’ve got to keep moving! She will have to start small (and use her walker) and slowly build back up or she will end up in a wheelchair. It’s sad to see the deterioration and aging of a dear friend of over 25 years. And she just turned 78 so she’s not even that “old” yet!
Something like a recumbent bike might bd a safe way for her to strengthen her legs enough to then safety add back in walking. My mother is older, but I think she lost a lot physically during the COVID lockdowns. She was afraid of going outside her home.
@SModa61 That is a great idea. Of course, I will have to have her try to get off and on mine to make sure she wouldn't fall over or anything. She also has essential tremors. It's hard to see someone start having such severe problems when she is not that "old" in my opinion. She's always been so vibrant! I will bring her over and have her try my bike. Thanks again!

@sheilaboneham She did so well for so many years. I do think the shut-ins for Covid hurt her momentum. So, I'm feeling all those things you mentioned. I'm also feeling guilt for pushing her to do better. But I don't want to see a further decline any sooner than it should be. It's so confusing! Thanks for your support.2 -

I’m going through something similar with a good friend who, after years of eating badly and not exercising at all, is now having a collection of serious health issues. I’m torn between feeling really sad for her and being furious that she took so little care of herself. Good lessons for us all indeed! Wishing your friend — and you — the best.
@sheilaboneham She did so well for so many years. I do think the shut-ins for Covid hurt her momentum. So, I'm feeling all those things you mentioned. I'm also feeling guilt for pushing her to do better. But I don't want to see a further decline any sooner than it should be. It's so confusing! Thanks for your support.
@deepwoodslady I can show her my parents assisted living bills. Great motivation!

5/25 129 Hi everyone. I've been working on building a healthier inward mindset and I think it's been a good thing because I've got wins to share. I tried on a pair of pants that I last tried to wear in April and they fit then but we're uncomfortably snug around the thighs. Today they're so loose I can pinch the fabric away from the skin! I've been keeping to grocery shopping like a vegan so everything to eat and snack on at home is whole foods plant-based, and home cooked, and when eating out I'll eat whatever sounds good. And as long as it's not eating out more than once a week, that's only one day a week of meat and my body recovers so quickly it seems to barely phase me. I seem to be doing well this way and it's relieved a lot of dietary stress. I haven't been tracking or really paying attention to anything in particular except my energy level and going to bed earlier to keep from night time snacking so I'm happy to get the feedback from my pants and scale that I'm not over or under doing it. And, probably the most important... I got my blood work done and for the first time ever my doctor didn't call me to discuss my labs because they were all normal! Yay! My goal for the rest of May is to get outside and move in nature every day that the weather permits. I'm still scared of being near 130 because that should be my maintenance ceiling but I feel great and expect that as long as I don't give up on myself I can keep up these healthy habits that you all helped me start building back in January. Thank you!

I have been unreliable and inconsistent for 6 rounds now and as a result I have gained almost 4 pounds. I must get this back on track now or I will be back to over 200 pounds in no time. So I am going to: calorie count, get 20 active minutes each day, and I am going to start writing a journal of my thoughts around food when I am feeling mentally weak.
SW RND 224: 166.7 lbs
5/22: 165.3 lbs
This drop is just because I was eating much less than I have been eating recently. I wrote in my journal in the afternoon when I really wanted to eat even though I wasn't hungry. I think seeing my thoughts on paper really helped to focus my mind on my goals.
5/23: 164.9 lbs
I really wanted some chocolate while I was walking through the shops but I resisted the temptation. Recently if I wanted a treat, there would be a millisecond between the thought and eating it. I am working on increasing the time from thought to action to give myself time to consider my goals and rethink what I want in that moment.
5/24: 164.5 lbs
I snacked in the afternoon. I didn't even think to journal it was so mindless. I have put my journal on the dining table now so hopefully it will be more visible and that will remind me of what I need to do.
5/25: 164.9 lbs
I am back to my old habit of eating the kids leftovers. I need to keep repeating this quote from James Clear in my head: "Every action you take is a vote for the person you wish to become."
