6/06 - 153.9 - The scale started at 153.6, bounced up to 154.2 and then finally settled at 153.9. I double checked, same number so it's solid. This makes me super happy! I also measured myself - My right thigh is nearly an inch bigger than my left. I really need to balance them - I know it's due to the nerve damage in my left sciatic. But!!!! I lost 1" on my hips and 1/2" on both my belly pooch and my waist (biggest and smallest part of abdomen, respectively). I can't see this progress, but now I know its there, yippee! Walked pups this morning and hoping to after dinner as well. Not sure exactly what dinner is, but it'll be the usual calorie-bomb Taco Tuesday fare. Tomorrow, also, is calorie bomb as my chicken bacon ranch stromboli was requested. At least tomorrow's a run day which will help offset. I'm pre-logging it today so I'm mentally prepared. Hopefully that reminder will be enough to get my out of bed and running when I know I won't want to.

Previous Day's Comments

6/01 - Sodium bloat from dinner. Also woke up with a swollen lymph node just on one side and it's uncomfortable to swallow. I pulled out my herbs and capsules to help boost myself a bit to get through this. Hoping it doesn't last long. Godson had strep on Saturday and I was around him beforehand so I'm hoping it's simply that (bacterial) versus a viral infection of sorts. Bacterial is much easier to deal with. Also hoping it doesn't impact my run I'm about to go do. I will take it easy and if I need to stop, I'll walk as my body needs to not overdo it.
6/02 - One swollen lymph node turned to 2 last night. Woke up with quite a bit of pressure pain and it was nearly impossible to swallow. I got up at 2am to do all the things to help relieve symptoms and curled up on the couch. Repeated that once before I gave in and here I am checking in. I'm planning on walking the dogs once I post and hopefully the fresh air will help a bit. I feel okay other than my lower sinus cavity and throat so hopefully I caught it early enough and it won't progress from here.
6/03 - DNP
6/04 - The best part is that I feel (and look) really bloated and this is my scale reading -- I hope that it means I've lost some by sticking to my goals despite being unwell. I'm still battling lymph node issues and now my sinuses are filled with mucus (not in the way of sinus infection, thankfully). I can tell, though, I'm on the mend as of this morning. Less pain and less swelling in my neck. Whew! Didn't get a chance to check in yesterday as it was our monthly Fire Dept Meeting, training, and then we were in charge of leading vehicle maintenance so we scheduled that after lunch. Once done with maintenance, we went swimming until dinnertime, which we realized we didn't thaw anything so I made my homemade pizza. I did listen to my body for lunch, only eating half the wrap and dinner, leaving the last slice I grabbed on my plate rather than eating it because it was there. NSV for sure, on both accounts! Both kiddos are shocked as last summer I was the ONE person who almost always finished their plate but not anymore. I did the same with steak Saturday night - didn't finish my plate when last summer I absolutely wouldn't have wanted the food to go to waste (who was it that made the garbage disposal analogy? I'm not a garbage disposal!) Today is smoked pork loin. Need to go to the store for a couple small items and will grab some sides as those haven't been figured out yet and will pre-log. Also taking the dogs for a walk before the forecasted storms roll in this afternoon/evening once BF wakes up and I can get into something other than PJs and slippers to go out gallivanting in haha!
6/05 - Feeling a tad bloated, but better than before. I'm feeling better in my sinus/throat area, too - not perfect, but definitely improved, so I lowered my herbal remedies which I think has helped with some bloating. I hit my goal of making down to 150-155 before the beach - now to maintain or lose more in the next 6 days! I ran this morning, took Harley while StepDaughter took Smoke. I have officially graduated from C25K! I might start looking into the 5k to 10k training this app has, also free, since I have a 5k in November to train for so I need something to keep me running. We also found out this weekend there's a gym somewhat nearby and with veteran status or first responder (which we are both) we can get a very cheap family (up to 4 people) membership. They have higher tiers (more members) but we only would need 4 during summer and 2 in winter anyway. Might look into it when we come back from the beach.

Day, Weight, Comment

6/01 - 183.8
Hot hot hot. You’d think I’d sweat a few pounds off! 😊 Happy June! Tomorrow I go for my evaluation for cataract surgery. Not very thrilled about it.

6/02 - 184.8
We had a very salty Mexican-ish salad for dinner, so I know this is water. Still depressing. I woke up with a huge adrenaline rush because of today’s eye evaluation (and, more, upcoming cataract surgery). I skipped breakfast, and still don’t feel great. Maybe a dog walk before we go will calm me down a bit. I’m sure my bp is up.

6/04 - 184.2
Apparently I forgot to log in yesterday. Figures — my schedule was off all day. Anyway…my cataract surgeries are scheduled for July 3 and 10. I’m nervous, but not quite as weirded out as I was before Friday’s evaluation. I am completely weirded out by my weight, though. After I walk the pupper and do some weeding, I’m going to sit down and make a new plan and talk to DH about how I eat and how I need — NEED — to change a few things that are grounded in eating together on his schedule. He likes to eat early (5 pm) and I realized yesterday that we essentially eat every four hours — 7:30-8, 12-1, 5. So no wonder I crave snacks around 9! I think I would do better eating my dinner around 7-8 (which is how I ate all my life before I met him). A lot of our conversation goes on over meals, of course, so I don’t want to miss that. Stuff to figure out!

6/05 - 185
This has to stop. I’m going the wrong way fast. I don’t know why I keep eating when I don’t need it and know it’s hurting me. I did really well yesterday until a friend brought her pup over for a play date with Booker, and she brought chips and dip that neither of us need. I tried not to eat any, but I did. That started an “I already messed up, might as well mess up more” spiral of popcorn and cheese later. What is wrong with me? Very depressed about it.

6/06 - 184.4
Sad that I think this is a better number. But ok, it is better than yesterday. Today is all planned, and hopefully I’ll stick to the plan. Have a great day, everyone!

Hi Everyone - I am not new to MFP, but I am new to posting. Trying to see if I can really keep myself on track this month of June and beginning of July before heading on long vacation for niece's wedding.

Female, 5'4", 57 years old
HW: 210 (May, 2023)
CW: 152
GW: no idea... I hope I'll know it when I see it in the mirror... I think at least 10 more pounds need to go

Goals: Cardio 5/7 days (I don't think this will be difficult)
Bodyweight Train 3/7 days (I have been doing 1 day/week, telling myself I'll do 2 days/ week... but that hasn't happened)
Log Food 10/10 days (I'm really good on weekdays, not so good on weekends or holidays)

Round 225
6/1: 152 - logged food, walked 30 minutes after lunch, did 60 minute Cardio Dance class after work
6/2: 152 - logged food, walked 30 minutes after lunch (even in this 90 degree heat)
6/3: 154.6 - that's a sad surprise. I have been so frustrated seeing 152 everyday that I was hoping I'd see something different on the scale this morning, but it certainly wasn't that. Logged food, did 60 minute Zumba class at gym this morning.
6/4: 153.4 - at least that is lower than yesterday. Logged food, did 30 minutes bodyweight training and 30 minutes light cardio.
6/5: 153.6 - I've decided to pull out the measuring spoons and measuring cups so that I am not eyeballing my food before logging it. Otherwise, I have no known reason for the scale to be going up instead of down. I looked bloated this morning in the mirror, all in the stomach / ab area. I have already logged today's food since I meal prepped yesterday. I know I'll be doing a 30 minute walk after lunch.
6/6: 153.8 - I have logged my food and I have a 60 minute Cardio Dance class tonight after work... plus I will be doing a 30 minute walk after lunch. We have a walking group here at the office and we go out pretty much every day if it's not raining / or snowing / or hot as all get out. @SModa61 - Yes I do have a food scale, and that is an excellent idea - to weigh all food instead of what I have been doing. I am going to start that tonight for dinner. Thank you!

@39Flavours - I too cannot do a pull up. Never have been able to do one. I'm inspired to try to train for it now.

@LisaPower123 - that spicy garlic shrimp with broccoli and spinach sounds DELICIOUS!

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 6 years with amazing results!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

SW Round 225 130.0
6/1 130.0 Still not feeling great. DH thinks it’s allergies. I fell asleep watching television last night at 8:15! Got up, showered and went to bed. Asleep by 9 but woke at 3:30 with headache and need for potty so I gave up and got up. Now I feel I need a nap. Maybe I should just give in.
⭐️ I am not a napper, I never have been unless I’m sick. I finally gave in and put my head down at 3:45 while DH was at cards. I slept until 7:30! I thought it was morning when I got up so I made a pot of coffee. Boy, am I messed up! I hope I can sleep tonight! Well, in a couple of hours.
6/2 129.0 Went to bed at 11:30 and woke at 6:35. Still not feeling great but I want BBQ so we’re going there for lunch today.
6/3 128.0 Ate burnt ends at noon, keto breakfast cookie with coffee mid afternoon I felt better as the day went on and made plans with DGD to meet for early dinner at 4 today, possibly with the rest of her family. It’s hard to coordinate everyone’s schedule.
6/4 128.0 Greek Salad and steak yesterday. I only ate 1/2 a skewer but had about 9 Kalamata olives as I’m the only one in the family who likes them.
6/5 127.0 Well, I got up early, unplanned walk to the clubhouse for water fitness-only to learn that the pool is “closed until further notice.” Dentist tomorrow for teeth cleaning. Super salty burger at In-n-Out for dinner. We’ll see what that does to the scale tomorrow! It has taken me all day to read the posts! So many interruptions.
6/6 128.0 Headache and very dizzy this morning. One hour drive to dentist, will pick up lunch at Jimmy John’s on the way

RND 225
Welcome to another round everyone! Love the accountability of this community.
I participated in the last round and while I didn’t see a lot of movement on the scale, my emotional/mental health has been way better the last 10 days. I’ve been finding that my Depression is very sensitive to blood sugar levels - part of the reason why I eat *way* too much chocolate. I’m on the path to finding healthier ways to keep myself joyful and well!

5’9 Female, LT Goal of 150lbs. ST Goal of 190lbs.

SW RND 224 - 195
SW RND 225 - 194

6/1 - 194 Same as yesterday, really need to start eating healthier; hectic week so I might have to wait until the weekend to meal prep though. Did an hour of TKD but no other exercise. Was 10 oz shy of water goal.
6/2 - 195 *sigh* wrong way lol. Watching my calorie intake today and trying to find better options for good fuel - unfortunately I need to go to the grocery store but my paycheck isn’t in yet. Planning to go on a long walk after work, but also walking a lot at work. Determined to hit 10k steps today!
6/3 - 193 I like that number better! I’m noticing in my food tracking that my sodium is pretty high. I know figured out how to set the MFP goal lower on that because 2300 was pretty high. Aiming for 1500 now and we’ll see if that doesn’t help with feeling stronger/healthier. Went hiking with a good friend today ~9.5 miles
6/4 - 198 Sundays are a tough day for taking weight measurement because I’m rushing to get ready in the morning, took weight in PM instead… Evening numbers are never as much to my liking lol. Went *heavy* on sodium with pho for lunch. Tomorrow I need to recommit to healthier meals.
6/5 - 194 My weight chart looks like it was made by someone on a pogo stick. Walk during lunch, lots of gardening work going to be done after dinner. Depression is kicking my butt today. Hoping that a shift in calories and some gardening time helps stave it off. I'm also the one person around here that prefers cloudy days and rain, and the sun is not improving my outlook.
6/6 - 194 Actually went over my protein goal yesterday! I’ve been really struggling, but was able to do it. Trying to achieve that result again today. Went on an hour long hike last night and now my hip pain is flaring up. Nonetheless, going on at least two 30 minute walks (after lunch and dinner) today - especially since a coworker brought homemade taquitos to share and I had one lol. She put corn, cilantro, and beans in hers rather than meat, and it was very good!

@quiltingjaine I'm very much a "if I forget to do it once, what is the point of keeping up with it" and also someone who easily forgets to do things. So recording the evening weight is a form of accountability for myself, more than useful data. I do agree that it is interesting to see the overnight shift though!

Then life happened… out of control wildfires a couple kms from my house in Nova Scotia forced me to make a difficult decision. I packed up my kids and drove for two days to reach my parents house in Ontario. My husband is away for work until August and the thought of being alone with the kids and possibly having to evacuate in the middle of the night was terrifying.

6/6 - 119.9 (119.9 trend) first time stepping on a scale since leaving my home. Shocked I didn’t gain anything.

Wow: that sounded scary.
Good that you were able to get to family and was safe.

Crazy thing is that the wind blew all that wildfire smoke to Massachusetts!
It was a weird hazy and foggy here for a few day.

Xiao_Ya_ · June 2023

I had a long trip in May, so I wasn't able to keep track of weight or calories during that time, but that should be more of a possibility now. Fortunately, I only gained a pound or so. I don't really think that eating habits will help with all the mental health conditions I've been overwhelmed with, but it definitely helps me with a sort of sense of control.

I'm doing the weekly weighing challenge too since it's more loose, but at the same time, checking more often is helpful so I can see trend instead of perhaps an odd day on one of my weigh-ins.

June Goal Weight: 93.5 lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 85 lbs (85-92 lbs is okay)
SW Round 225

6/1 : 96.5 lbs
6/2 96.5 lbs
6/3 96.5 lbs
6/4 96 lbs Finally a drop down! Everything still hurts, but it isn't as bad. I'm going to be probably not very smart, but I want to work out some more. Three days of sitting at the exact same weight is a little strange at this point for me.
6/5 95.5 lbs I'm glad about that. I worked out more and still made my steps. I'm meeting a long-distance friend at the beach today which is exciting, but I also came out to them about my BPD last night because they had kept asking me why I was being so strange so I hope that doesn't throw a hitch in our relationship. I didn't do a great job explaining and I don't even know if I should have explained, and everything is so much more multifaceted than the oversimplified stuff I said; I have no clue what I'm supposed to do. Social situations really don't work; still overthinking about stuff I said.
6/6 95 lbs It's good to be dropping regularly again. I ate gelato and a cupcake yesterday since we also celebrated my not-quite-yet birthday, but I was really upset that I might get heavier and walked double my usual. Still ate my usual calories, just not the best ones. My surgery recovery period finally ends tomorrow, so I can resume strenuous workouts then. I won't see my friend again for who knows how long, and I'm convinced my brain is trying to end me.

RE 6/5: That's really neat that you're working on a garden! Have you been keeping gardens for a long time? I actually also much prefer clouds and rain; somehow it feels less harsh than the sun to me. I know you probably already hear this, but I hope things get better for you soon!

RE 6/6: That's great that you were able to go over your protein goal; I've found that really hard to do. And ouch, that doesn't sound like fun. But homemade food is so delicious.

6/1 196.0 Reminding myself big picture why am I doing this. Went to a brunch yesterday that had desserts, and probably lots of Na, all too good (or bad for me).
6/2 195.8 Lots of thought to self care for destressing. This month has travel, busier weekends and more to get done.

SW Round 225

SW: 129.0
Round Goals: 🥗🌳 Nature walk every day. Eat a salad every day.🌳🥗 No alcohol two days in a row. And log here everyday, even if only to share a check mark on the day.

Established habits to maintain: No ultra-processed food, fast food, dairy in any form, or added sugar (unless it's a special occasion and the treat is really worth it). Minimize alcohol and maximize water and tea. Yes to whole foods, plant based, and dishes and treats that are truly comforting for my emotions AND my body that's tied up with them.

GW: 127.0 I think I can reasonably make it two pounds down this round if I really try without letting it stress me out. I've been maintaining at 129 without much effort so that is really encouraging to me that I've gotten good at maintaining and my new lifestyle is finally a healthy one that is pleasurable, sustainable, and most importantly, not stressful.

6/1 128.2 Today marks 7 days of daily nature walks and day 3 of a salad everyday. I'm loving the walking. I'm disliking salad less than before so that's progress. I had mimosas for dessert last night which were so delicious and refreshing. To help me remember that alcohol should be limited always and not just when trying to lose weight I'm instituting a no drinking two days in a row policy. Sometimes I'll go all week without one but sometimes I'll find myself drinking every night again. I don't want to have to quit alcohol for a month again to break the habit so the new rule is to help me keep it from becoming habit. Alcohol should be a treat when consumed responsibly, right? And I would be healthier abstaining completely but I'm not interested in conquering that right now. I am treating it like a birthday cake in the freezer. I'll have a small slice when I want it but to keep it from becoming a daily habit I'll make myself take a night off from having a slice. It's not going bad in the fridge. Maybe that'll turn into every third night, fourth night, once a week? We'll see. I know I feel better when it's a treat and not an expectation.
6/2 129.0 ✔️ really stressful day but followed through with my intentions. Plan for today is to do a gentle walk. A friend was moving apartments and I lifted so much! When she would say that a particular box or piece of furniture was really heavy I got surprised at how easily I lifted it and carried it and set it down without being out of breath or straining. It was so cool to see the real life ramifications of home bodyweight strength training and she complimented me on my strength! It felt so good to be able to be helpful in that way. Who needs men? JK. My husband's superior strength was a necessity with a wardrobe but the two of us did it

6/3 129.6 I almost didn't weigh in today because I had a desserts fest all afternoon and into the evening. Sugar heavy day but no alcohol yesterday so I'll have a glass at dinner tonight. Planning on an early evening walk since I didn't get out for it yesterday. I've been trying to remind myself to have better posture when I walk and it feels so weird and hard to do but after just a week or so of doing it I can feel soreness in muscles in my deep core, within my back. Those must be the ones working to keep me upright. I never would have guessed that just walking with good posture would end up being like strength training but it seems to be doing something so I'll keep at it. Breakfast and lunch today were lacking greens so a big salad for dinner tonight.
6/4 129.6 Scale is moving nowhere but I've been exploring the outside more and did a trail hike I haven't been on in 3 years. Afterwards I saw my lower body reflection in a tinted store window and my thought was, 'that looks like a fit person's legs.' What a great chance to see myself in shorts how others see me. I'm trying to see myself with the same perception in my mirror at home. My knee is a little painful today so I'll do strengthening exercises today and back to walking tomorrow. My beer last night was a little heavy and I left half in the bottle completely voluntarily. Win!
6/5 130.4 This is straight up confusing. I can usually eyeball if my weight will be higher based on how bloated I look but this doesn't follow. After it read this number I checked my measurements to compare from my recent lowest weight of 123 and for a really big surprise it showed I was down half an inch in my lower belly! My upper waist is the same as then, my biceps are slightly smaller, my hips are up an inch (I don't mind at all since I've been working on combating my pancake butt that happened from my initial big weight loss). I'm grateful I took measurements then to compare to now because I was about to be really disheartened since I feel like I'm doing everything right and I look flatter in the mirror but the scale is higher. Goes to show it's just one of many potential numbers to measure progress. Crisis adverted! Also, my husband made an incredible vegan lentil curry last week that I'm now addicted to do he has to make it again. The recipe called for almond butter whisked into the coconut milk. Delicious!

6/1 128.2

6/3 129.6
6/4 129.6
6/5 130.4
6/6 130.4 Another great walk early in the morning. My mood is in a great place starting the day off this way. Need to keep reminding myself not to eat fatty foods too close to bedtime because it impacts my restful sleep. Restaurant plans for tonight so breakfast and lunch were super clean and high fiber because I plan on a chimichanga

I will be drinking lots of water before and have a short gentle walk afterwards to help digest it before bedtime. I feel like knowing my body's reaction to types of food and sleeping and then actually tending to myself accordingly is like black belt level adulting.

@Xiao_Ya_ I've been gardening for about 8 years now! My MO is flower gardens with herbs interspersed so that I have a lot of colour but an equal form+function set up. Hoping this year to plant some cherry tomatoes and/or peas, because the patio at my new condo gets a lot of sunshine, but it's a much smaller space than I was working with before, so I'll have to see once everything is in.

Do you do gardening as well? I find it can be a good workout when you're hauling rocks and dirt and weeds around

Hi, I'm Charissa - Round 225

Thank you, again, QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!

Starting Round 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!!!

Doing the math - June fits 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.

6/2 213.5 /214.7 (+0.5/+0.7) ~ Did not walk at lunch yesterday as planned. Dinner was decent. Husband was excited as he had been off pain meds long enough to have a cocktails. He made pomegranate sours. Turn this ship around! It would be about now, that I'd throw up my hands with the All or None mentality, but I'm not going to do that this time. I am going to continue to forge ahead - progress WILL come.

6/3 213 /215.2 (+0.5/+1.2) ~ REALLY...yes, I'm screaming. BUT, since the scale wasn't budging, I measured some key areas, and unless I was really "off" on my original measurements two weeks ago, I've lost 1.5 inches on my waist (well, if you want to call it that🙂 ) and .5 on my hips. Not sure what to make of that but...okay...<edit> I reviewed my day yesterday and I had seafood salad for lunch, then logged it and realized that imitation crab meat is full of carbs and added sugars 😞 . Lesson learned, log before eating. Carbs do not play nicely with my body. Had fish and veggies for dinner. So wine + carbs, definitely will equal gain!

6/4 212.5 / 214.3 (-0.9/+0.3)

6/5 212 / 214.1 (-0.2/+0.1) ~ moody today...

6/6 211.5 /215.0 (+0.9/+1.0) ~ I thought I was moody yesterday! Getting rid of the projections, not "even" close. I did go for walk at lunch yesterday and will do the same today. I started snacking last night and was at the top range of my calorie budget. Assuming water retention. Need to get a LOT of water in today to flush out sodium. I'm only 16 ounces in, so that plan needs escalation ! Only 4 more days left in this round! It was a quick one!

Days to come
