Had quite a rough food day, so I'm not going to weigh tomorrow. I dont want to see it! I'll try again. I need to be consistent. I have goals to meet!

JacquelineC53 · May 2023

Excited to start a new round. I love the feeling of starting afresh every 10 days with a clean slate. My goal this round is to tighten up my logging so it is more accurate (weighing as opposed to eyeballing). And to be outside enjoying the warm weather!

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 224 (my 155th).
Aim to get back under and 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.

SW RND 224 139.8

5/22 139.8 – 8.5 miles walked yesterday, ate all exercise calories plus 87. Nice to see that under 140 figure again, now to stay there!
5/23 138.8 – tad over 8 miles walked yesterday, 5% exercise calories eaten back. Weighed 3 times & each time got the same weight 😊, frightened to feel a bit smug with this as this can be a trigger to binge, but by entering it here I am determined to not let this happen.
5/24 139.6 – 9.1 miles, 60% exercise calories eaten back.
10 days without a binge !
5/25 140.2 - 11.21 miles walked yesterday, 85% exercise calories eaten back, but after weighing in I looked back at the macros and carbs were high; reason for the uptick?
5/26 140.2 – no structured walking; caring for little DGS, another high carb day, although better than other childcare days. Today I shall strive to do better.
5/27 140.2 – again! 10.11 miles walked, 85% of exercise calories eaten back, still high in carbs.

In for another round! Love the accountability and short timeline ☺️ Started my journey last April at 167. Currently 120.4 and aiming for 115. I am sooooo close!!!! May decide to go for 110 when I get there 😂 I’m a 37 year old female, 4’11” and live in Nova Scotia 🦞

May 22 - 119.3 - (120.9 trend) breaking into the 110’s like the kool aid man! 😂😂😂 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Taking the kids for lunch and a movie this afternoon… trick will be to maintain this drop! I have already scoped out the menu and planned my lunch so off to a good start.

May 23 - 119.3 - (120.7 trend) very happy to have maintained after a day of fun with kids.

May 24 - 119.3 - (120.4 trend) It’s funny how after a doing a couple rounds you can really start to see trends in how you lose weight. I’m noticing I seem to get “stuck” at a certain weight for 3 or 4 days before a get a drop. This is day 3 at 119.3… so hoping tomorrow is my day. Lol

May 25 - 119 - (120 trend) happy to see this. 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!

May 26 - 119 - (119.7) Nutrition was a little off yesterday. Went out for lunch then had a spaghetti dinner fundraiser at my kids school. Was worried I would gain a little, so got two workouts in to compensate.

May 27 - 118.6 - (119.4 trend) making progress!! Even with a couple drinks last night to celebrate the conditional offer on my house going firm 🥂💃🏻🙌

I participated in this challenge way back in the beginning like 2017-2018 and it was a fantastic way to keep me mindful. I got down to a healthy weight, was exercising most days, and feeling great. Life unfortunately took some not so great turns and I just wasn't in the right mindset to keep up. Thankfully things have been going well for some time now, but my weight has bounced around. I am finally ready to get back into taking care of myself and being more kind to my body.

Round 224
Current weight- 147
10 Day Goal: Get back to healthier eating, exercise, and drink more water.
Ultimate Goal Weight: Sub 130

5/22- Did not weigh
5/23-147 I need to buy a more accurate scale, but for now this is the weight shown. (Post breakfast and a coffee), 50 minute walk complete,
5/24-146 Wasn't motivated to go to the gym, but went anyway. 35 minutes on the treadmill. Even got my husband to come with me.
5/25-144 (scale is not accurate) No exercise and went a bit over on calories. No real excuses for either.
5/26-144 55 minute walk on the treadmill. Felt good aside from my blistered feet. Under calories

Round 224
May 22 - May 31, 2023

61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).

SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW current MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
CW 127.2
GW Clueless…….

Goal for Round 224 – Have upped calories to 1500, and adding intentionally eating back some exercise calories. Looking to glide into maintenance. Meanwhile, in the process, I am hoping to return to the 126.X numbers I saw for a couple days in round 223.

Continuing to diversify exercise, while keeping up with walking/running. Harder part to doing something every day.

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!

Day/Weight/Comment

5/22 – 127.0 (Mass) calories great yesterday, no exercise. Checking out the menu for dining out yesterday, and ordered from the “small bites” section. Very trackable and spot on. I found another benefit of wearing Invisalign. Great tool for “claiming” you can’t eat or drink something. Associated with friends yesterday, and every time I turned around they were trying to get me to eat or drink something that I did.... not..... want. Hubby knew I had more flexibility than I was claiming but thankfully knew not to out me. I am so beyond having to eat or drink something to make some other person satisfied. Enough! Thanks for letting me vent.

5/23 – 127.4 (Mass) no exercise, and calorie wise was a mess. I just seemed to need a reset day. I’m actually not that concerned as long as today is on track.

5/24 – 127.4 (Mass) Very ok with this number today. While I did exercise yesterday AND was under on calories, last night was a pasta dinner night, and something I learned about myself over the years is pasta for dinner leads to an uptick the following day. While doing WW, I learned to never have pasta the day before weigh-in day. Hubby notes the same issue. Shifting back to Maine later today, so starting tomorrow is a different identical scale for a week.

5/25 – 125.4 (Maine) Thoroughly confused. Weighed myself multiple times this morning as the number does not make sense. I went back into my history for two weeks ago when I was up in Maine previously and the scale numbers from Mass and Maine correlated perfectly. Initially, the scale started with numbers with 124.X numbers and refused to move, so then I picked up the scale and shook it, which made it go high (130+) but that is a typical first reading after “transport”, then I followed with the standard multi press, and then weighed again. That resulted in 125.4 I even left and came back 30 minutes later and still the same. Well, I am certainly going to be prepared for the scale to go up. The greater question is whether it will happen on this scale, or will it not happen until I am back on the Mass scale.

5/26 – (Maine) 126.8 Now that number makes sense. Put together a new walking route yesterday, even if I did take a wrong turn, have airbuds act up, and phone go dead. Final calories were under. Was hungry, but not confident in eating more. Weight is on the edge of stable vs losing. So I am easing into maintaining.

Tonight is out to eat. I am familiar with the restaurant, so I already know what I am ordering, that has worked in the past. Chicken cacciatore (no sausage, replace with chicken) served over spinach instead of pasta. I love that that restaurant offers off menu choices.

5/27 – (Maine) 125.2 Confusion continues. I’ll just see how this round closes out. Final weight will be on the Mass scale (we decided last night – too much to get done there). Dinner went perfectly. I stuck with my plan, but and skipped any cocktail as often this couple will as us back to their home after. They did not. When I got home, I had 10 Guittard chocolate chips (the chips are large) as an 80 calorie sweet treat. They hit the spot.

Today, I have cleaning to get done, and then this afternoon we are going to a small local Gin distillery for a tasting. I am honestly more curious about tasting the tonics they will use then the gin per se. As hubby pointed out, I have too many Gins in the home already ( I rarely drink due to a very low tolerance). But if the gin is decent, we will buy one as a gift for tomorrow when we go to a friend’s house. They are big gin drinkers and it would be a unique gin for them to try.

Good Morning

My why

I 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.

Round 218 SW 232.4 EW 231lbs (-1.4)
Round 219 EW 229lbs (-2)
Round 220 220.2lbs (-8.8) (Extended fast)
Round 221 220.6 (+0.6) (normal after an extended fast)
Round 222 216.3 (-4.3)
Round 223 215.4 (-0.9)

5/22 Goal 215.3 /Actual 216.7
I love it when a challenge ends at the end of a month & starts on a Monday. Just the push I need to accomplish something this month. I will cook ahead today. I entertained thoughts of fasting or even one meal a day but the next 10 days are the busiest days of the year for me so I will weigh/measure/pre portion my food so that I am getting the nourishment that I need. I will control the extras & take morning & evening walks with the dog. This will be a great 10 days!
5/23 Goal 214.9 /Actual 217.4
Jeepers Crow! I really didn’t eat much yesterday but I did have 3 coolers throughout the afternoon. We had a great day getting flowers & cleaning out the pond. I logged everything but obviously the sugar & alcohol did not do me any favours. Today is a new day, it will be a busy one. I started with 10 sun salutations (my compromise since I can’t get to yoga right now) and will take the dog for a morning & evening walk.
5/24 Goal 214.6 /Actual 217.6
I really really need to fast. I need the mental reset as well as the weight loss. I am going to eat super low carb for the rest of the week & then fast on starting on Thursday. I should be fine to work & fast through Friday & then I am home the rest of the weekend. I get crabby when fasting & I can’t be crabby at work when we are busy. It is already chaotic, stressful & both physically & mentally draining. I think I have a plan. Now I just have to put it into action!
5/25 Goal 214.2 /Actual 218.4
This is getting stupid & I need to figure this out.
5/26 Goal 213.9 /Actual 217.7
5/27 Goal 213.5/Actual 218.4
Gotta be honest. It is not as fun to post when I am not losing weight. I will figure this out & get back to losing.

tishawj · May 2023

Thanks again everyone for being here for another round! I need to wrap my brain around how to maintain my successful routines while running back and forth between my parents' place and new job and our normal life...especially when parents'/job will be the regular place for most of the summer once the kids are done school and we all move up.

Female - 51yrs - 5'5"
Goal weight - to hang out 145-150
R223 End Weight 5/21 - 166.2

5/22 - 166.6 - got back from my job and Hubby had two cans of my absolute favourite in the history of all time ever Spring Saison from the craft brewery we love up here. Had to have them, I missed it last year so it's been two years since I've had one. Too many treats last night...Nana cookies and great beer.
5/23 - 166.2 - Back home for just few days this week. Groceries today, need to make a plan for my lunches while I'm up at mom and dad's on the weekend. Going to get in a good hike this morning first and some stretching, my back it tight and I'm not sure why.
5/24 - 166.4 - Good hike yesterday...will probably just walk today, it's a bit drizzly. Got a "START THE CAR!!!!" deal on ribs at the grocery store yesterday. Got a couple of packs for the freezer then did up two racks last night for dinner as BIL was up to play golf with hubby and stayed to eat after. So dinner was more than I usually have. Hopefully I can counteract it today.
5/25 - 167.2 - no tmi and feeling puffy this morning for some reason. I know I need to get more water, I've been bad at that the last few days. Out for a hike this morning in the sunshine (but brrrrrr....) and then get organized to head up to the parents for my job for a few days. Boys aren't working this weekend so it's just me...will hopefully be easier to keep on top of the food situation without grands there for Nana to bake for. I just won't know what's for dinner as they'll probably get that done while I'm at work....small portions, and well managed breakfast and lunch will hopefully keep me on target.
5/26 - 167.0 - Lot's of steps yesterday....then mom's dinner (fried chicken, cheddar biscuits and corn...ugh, tried to keep portions small). I have all my food up until dinner portioned out and logged so I won't stray from that...then hopefully dinner will fit in my target. Should be another active day at my job.
5/27 - 167.2 - I'm stuck in a 167 groove. This is probably from the fried chicken incident the other night. Yesterday calories and activity were good. Found out I'm working another two days before I head back home so a few more days of figuring out dinners with mom and dad. When I'm up here with the boys all summer I should be able to be more involved in the meal planning.

SW RND 224

Habits I've worked on for so long that it's finally a real habit: Whole foods, plant-based is now the actual, real life, no struggle, not stressful, base of my diet!!! Total 180 turn for me in the diet department. I still have ice cream and frozen treats at night sometimes but it's not every night and I don't eat an entire pint of 1200 calories anymore. Also, I don't drink alcohol every night. Again, it's sometimes when I want it and if I want it two nights in a row, I think about it real hard first

. Most fun, I randomly do yoga poses throughout the day (chair pose is my go to right now) and I like holding it and paying attention to the changes I feel in myself and my muscles that I never knew I could actually feel working = No sweat strength training.
Goals this round: outside nature walk every day
Intended habits to build: Morning routine that includes outside nature walks regularly and explore new places.

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!
5/26 128.2 two day average: 128.6 Good day yesterday. This little drop is a surprise but I don't know what my average day weight is right now so I just hope it doesn't bounce up tomorrow. Maybe I can safely aim to end this round at a solid three day average of 128.

5/27 DNW Good day yesterday. The nature walks make such a difference in my mood and outlook for the day. Celebratory dinner last night so I'm going to drink lots of water today and have lots of greens to help flush the sodium out. I get to eat it again today because I packed up more than half my entree to take home because I was too full despite it's deliciousness. I started pregaming eating out by either eating a small roasted sweet potato just before leaving or drinking a glass of metamucil and two more glasses of water. It makes it so I'm arrived at the restaurant not starving, I get fuller faster, and it gives me a base of fiber so I don't worry about what I'm ordering. I feel like I've hacked the system.

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!

5/26 - 183.6
I can’t believe it’s Friday already. Today I have my long-overdue mammogram and dexascan, then more garden work. Have to take advantage of the gorgeous weather! Have a lovely!

5/27 - 183.6
Good news on my DEXA scan yesterday—I’ve increased my bone density since last time and am just barely over the line for osteopenia. So I’m making more improvement before my next scan in two years one of my goals. Nutrition and exercise! It actually perked me up to see that. Right now I’m not worried about strength training with all the garden redesign I’m doing, but I need to get back to regular strength training. I’ve been haphazardly tracking my calcium intake but am going to pay more attention to that as well. I do not want a broken hip! Ok, speaking of…off to walk the pup and then get to work on the garden redo. Enjoy your Saturday!

Of course, with an Asian food, there's a sodium-induced uptick. I'm actually shocked it's not more, to be honest. The wedding is this afternoon at 330 and then they have food for dinner after at the reception. I plan to fast as long as possible or until lunch (ceremony outside and supposed to be 90+degrees - I don't need to make myself sick, either). I'm going to take the dogs for a walk after I post since everyone still asleep but dogs and I and then make sure I stay as active as possible the rest of the day to offset all the food and hopefully help flush some bloat. Alcohol will be in abudance tonight but I may have one drink early (a cheers thing) and then stop so that there's at least one of us good to drive home (it's about an hour away and we'll have the kids). My job (from the bride and groom) is to ensure they both drink water, between the alcohol and the heat, so I need to be on my A-game anyway. Hopefully that responsibility will also help me with the scale!

5/22 - And back down a bit. I'm shocked to be down, though. I gave into ice cream at lunch. Then, later, realized that the dinner I was making (upon request) was super calorie dense and I'd be over by a significant amount. Fortunately the rain stopped perfectly for me to get a walk in with the pups to not only meet step goal but to reach maintenance (versus surplus). Rain started up again immediately upon getting home and unharnessed. I'm feeling bloated and heavy this morning but overall okay. I didn't run, BF was up and it triggered the dogs to go crazy. I was wide awake from 220-330am and then tossed and turned from then until 615 (I tried to allow myself to sleep in a bit). I'll run tomorrow and debating the rest of the week's runs. Wednesday is pizza (it keeps well enough for a late dinner for BF when he gets home from business about 7-730pm) but Thursday is Thirsty Thursday and likely eating out with StepDaughter and LittleBro once they arrive for the summer. Friday is graduation for BigBro and likely eating out but lunch may be normal (meal prep) as BF and I still have to work. I may just run Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday as Saturday is wedding but not until afternoon. I'll have to shower Saturday anyway, perfect excuse! I'm about to shower real quick to get ready - BigBro needs me at his appointment to verify address for drivers license change and I feel icky and gross from my morning walk (muggy out). I'll pedal on the bike (gently, no sweating after shower!) while I work until my morning meeting and then I'll meal-prep lunches for the week during the meeting.
5/23 - Glad to see my work pay off. I fasted until about 1pm as I was in town until then. I even got my license updated as there wasn't a long line for walk ins after BigBro finished his stuff! (it still said I needed contacts or glasses which I don't anymore). Dinner was a healthy pasta primavera recipe for 2. I did manage to make my garlic ginger chicken bowls (with bell pepper and broccoli) during my morning meeting for yesterday, today, tomorrow, and Friday. I've pre-logged all my breakfasts (either fasting or protein shake), lunches (except Thursday for Thirsty Thursday), and dinner for today and tomorrow. I've decided running on Saturday is too risky (if we stay out celebrating graduation I might not wake up in time or feel good enough) so I'm running today, tomorrow (to offset homemade pizza), and Friday. Thursday I'll wake up and, pending weather, will walk the dogs and hop on the bike to get some movement and burn in before everyone wakes up. I also plan to fast until lunch Thursday to help. I think I've got this week all settled out after a lot of writing, erasing, re-writing, and repeating hahaha I'm more likely to succeed if I plan while in a good place mentally than have to make last minute decisions, especially if I'm hungry or tired - eat whatever is easiest and likely junk or skip the workout - nope! We eat the healthy pre-made stuff and do the dang planned exercise.
5/24 - Little fluctuation, nothing major. Crunchwrap copy cat worked well, I'm proud. I didn't end up eating both I had pre-logged which was even better. Ended up a little frantic in the evening and was late to bed but I got a dress in that will work perfectly for the wedding on Saturday (plus it fits without making me look like a whale) so I'm happy. Had to run to the store last minute after dinner to get BigBro some slacks and a belt for graduation. Then his shirt was horribly wrinkled so the iron came out. I went full mom mode on him. Borrowed a tie from BF (with his knowledge) and all set up! Storms came through this morning so a little late to go run but wanted to be sure they were gone. I see blue skies so I'm headed out for that. BF is delayed 7 hours (ugh) so he's not going to be home in time for dinner anymore. I'm so frustrated with these flights. Every single time. Oh well, at least he should be home tonight.
5/25 - A drop despite pizza! I'm happy with that. I did finish up leftover shredded lettuce and added some bell peppers and tomatoes to make a little salad which I finished before I was allowed to touch pizza. I had an extra small slice beyond what I had logged but I knew I had the room in my calories for it and was still hungry. Plus, I was walking the pups after. I looked back recently and I was right at the average calories I would typically eat on a run day so it worked out well. I'm about 1500 calories on a non-run day and 1800 on a run day. Today is eating out lunch and dinner as we have Thirsty Thursday and then BioMom will be here sometime this afternoon/evening with the younger two. We'll likely stay in town to grab the two younger kids to go eat while BigBro will come after work to meet with his mom for dinner before driving himself home. Today we also see if BigBro actually graduates. The one class he was failing last week (and brought it up to just barely passing) has their final today - a half day. If he doesn't do well enough to maintain his passing grade, he doesn't graduate tomorrow. No pressure, right? I have faith in him but it is nerve-wracking.
5/26 - I'm really surprised I'm not up more. Work blew up at about 1pm and I ended up working, stressed to the point of crying (literal crying at one point) until 830pm. I immediately logged off and I'm afraid to check my computer in case there's more today. Kids arrived and I couldn't even hug them after not seeing them for 9 months because of back to back calls and emails and messages. We ended up at Fam's for homemade chicken/shrimp/veggie fried rice with egg rolls and asian-seasoned edamame (read: SALT SALT SALT). I managed 10k steps and to get up every hour despite work, but I pretty much sat locked up in a room from 7am to 830pm so I'm not sure how I'm not up (especially sodium). I do feel bloated so maybe it's simply I've lost weight and the bloat is keeping the scale stagnant. No clue. More work today -- now I'm a day behind schedule so this week and next are simply frantic. Luckily it's just today and 3 days next week - lots of work to do in these 4 days but once they're over, they're over. I don't know if StepDaughter is waking up to run or not - she will run her own pace but she said she wanted to get up and run when I go this morning so I got up despite not getting home until after 9. Running on 5.5 hours of sleep right now but a promise is a promise.

@SModa61 There are two reasons (I know of) why people are put on Statins 1) high cholesterol and 2) high blood pressure. When looking at total cholesterol, it is best to check the LDL (e.g. Bad) and HDL (good cholesterol).
Since my Total has always hovered around 350, doctors always want me on Statins. When recently on Statins (5mg every other day) my total dropped to nearly 250, of which 100 is HDL. Which my doctor says is great FOR ME (as I do not have any other conditions putting me at risk for a heart attack or stroke). I began getting leg weakness and pain within a few months of taking and stopped 2 weeks ago)
Over the years, they have changed the cut-off from anyone over 100 to be on Statins to a much higher number.
Usually, people who will have a problem with Statins know quickly after starting. I used to complain constantly every time I was started on a new Statin type-it was not until I developed Neuropathy (in my fingers) that the doctors believed me and realized I had lost a lot of mitochondria in my nerves. Good luck.
FYI: I have been off the statins for 2 weeks but will start again tomorrow--my doctor wants me to try a different method of taking it. I am not anti-Statins; just want to find a method that works for me.

05/27-115.4 -although tracking my calories has not always stopped me from eating things I know I should avoid. It has helped me realize when I am going the wrong way and allows me to catch myself before going totally off the cliff. So I am glad I have this site as a “safety net.”
