    Hi, I'm Charissa - Round 225

    Thank you, again, QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!

    Starting Comments
    Round 224 was ok. It was a challenging month with my husband having surgery but he's on the mend and it's time to refocus. I went up a bit but nothing to get overly excited about.

    I am a self-proclaimed procrastinator. I set goals to be under 200 by 6/17 - then in my mind I changed it to the time I went on my July trip (7/5). I'm not there and it's highly unlikely that I will make it BUT>>>> I can get really close if I focus during the month of June! So here's goes!!!

    62 y/o female
    OSW 2022-03 230.3
    1SW 2023-01 221.8

    Goals This Round per Day:
    - Tracking and staying within calorie count using zig-zag daily calories averaging 1400 daily. 🍎
    - IF (18:6) - but also not eating until actually hungry (Level 3) 👌
    - Water (Goal 64 oz/SS and 96oz M-F) : ✅
    - Walk/Steps: 🚶🏽

    Round 225/16 SW: 214.0 EW: nnn.n Loss n.n Total Loss 7.8

    SW: 214.0
    Doing the math - June fit's nicely with 3 10 days challenges
    15 (weight to lose to hit 199)/30 days = .5 per day * 10 = 5.00 per challenge
    Challenge Goal - 5.00lbs or Weight of 209.
    Aggressive - yes and I will be happy and consider it a win if I lose at least half.
    Goal: 209 - will be happy with 211.5, ecstatic with anything between 209 and 211🙂


    Projection/Actual
    6/1 214 /214.2 (+0.2/+0.2) ~ Wrong direction but should be able to easily correct <fingers crossed>. 45 minutes on the treadmill and then will walk at least 30 at lunch. Exercise makes me feel like my body is burning more calories/fat.

    Projections for the Round
    6/2 213.5 /
    6/3 213 /
    6/4 212.5 /
    6/5 212 /
    6/6 211.5 /
    6/7 211 /

    ☀️This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE☀️

    Just a retired 64 years young gal from Oregon, looking to be 15 pounds lighter and a bit less lumpy in my clothes! I am also doing intermittent fasting and would like to take a page out of Amanda’s goal plans to only do alcohol 5/10 days (or less).

    Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessary.
    😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
    May focus:
    * maintain weight < 140 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
    * Maintain Daily Solid Habits

    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!

    Lessons Learned for maintenance: 1) exercise at least 30 minutes five {5} days a week 2) try to walk no less than 10,000 steps a day 3) If/when my weight creeps up (116.5-117.1 LBS) increase the incline on the treadmill and add a burst of running to routine 4) eat a low-calorie salad before eating dinner 5) limit fried, breaded, and salty food 6) continue to add ice cubes to my daily 5 oz glass of wine 7) eat fish for dinner at least 2 times a week 8) eight to nine hours of sleep a night 9) Of the 64oz of water daily-drink 8oz of water a half hour before each meal 10) three (3) meals a day and 1-2 small snacks, nothing after dinner.
    I'm writing these tips down! :smiley: and posting them on my bathroom mirror - Thank you!
