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 every day 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. 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!
6/7: 153.2 – I have logged my food. NOT going to do the after lunch walk today because we are in MD – hey there @pezhed Amanda - and getting the smoke from those horrible Canadian wildfires. I couldn’t believe it when I walked outside this morning and could smell the smoke! Locally our news programs are suggesting at least N95 masks outdoors, but preferably respirator masks because of the particulates that you cannot see. So, change of plan – after work and my DS physical therapy appt this afternoon I am going to do my bodyweight training and then add on 30 minutes of cardio. My obstacle will be making sure I just do it instead of deciding a nap would be better. @SModa61 – I did start weighing my food this morning as you suggested. It makes me feel a little more aware / empowered (?) Not sure what word I am looking for, but instead of it feeling like a hassle it feels like a good plan. @huango – THANKS for the website link. I still feel intimidated, but heck, what do I have to lose? @LisaPower123 – thanks for the link to that delish recipe. I checked out a couple of other recipes from this website that I am excited to try.

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).

6/2: 132.5 - a little bit of after dinner snacking…
6/3: 133.4 - hmmm, still eating at the very top of my calorie range.
6/4: 133.6 - Going the wrong direction this round.
6/5: 133.2 - Was mindful about what I ate, but at the top of the calorie range.
6/6: 132.9 - Back to where I started.

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!
6/7 - DNW Stayed up way too late last night and suffering the consequences. Morning was super hectic and off routine today. Still need to find ways to boost my protein levels and unfortunately all the recipes I’ve found are either foods I can’t stand or are things I currently can’t fit in the food budget. Payday is a few days away so I’d better do some research and put together a good meal plan. Going on a walk during lunch and then going to do some high speed cleaning of the house tonight! Hopefully I can fit an evening walk in there since I missed my morning stroll

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
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.
6/7 95 lbs I really hope my weight stays down. I've resumed heavier workouts, but I'd imagine I'll be dropping slower since I've dropped about 5 lbs in 2 weeks. Since this is probably mostly water, I'll probably hover around this weight a while. While I technically know weight bounces and it gets harder to lose as one gets lighter, I still get upset easily about this, so I'm hoping I don't gain anything from not moving much watching kids at the party today.

My goal for this round is to just keep showing up and posting here. I did well last round to get back in track but I have been losing focus and dropping out during the last few rounds. I know if I don't post I will gain. I still have around 1 pound to lose to get back to my lowest weight recorded during these challenges so that will be my goal for this round. I will certainly think twice before taking a diet break next time!

I need to turn this around. I have pre logged everything today. I will exercise of the elliptical after this post. "If you don't do what's best for your body, you're the one who comes up on the short end." - Julius Erving.

I achieved my daily goals yesterday. Now I need to consistently do this for the rest of the round.
6/5: 163.1 lbs
6/6: 163.8 lbs
6/7: 162.9 lbs
My weight graphing tool tells me my weight is trending down finally. I have been consistent with achieving my daily goals. If I maintain this weight through to the end of the challenge, I will be satisfied.

GW 60kg, although more focused on toning up lumpy bits than a number, but the number gives good direction.
7 June 77.5kg
8 June 66.4kg
Ate quite well yesterday and under calorie goal, also did a tough Heather Robertson workout - both strength and cardio, as well as a slow lunchtime walk which is more to get some sun and stretch my dodgey hip than anything. The test will be to not "treat" myself over the weekend 🤞🏼7 -

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 225 (my 156th). Aim to get back under and stay under 139 and hopefully lose a 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.

Round 225
SW 139.2
6/1 139.2 – 6.92 miles walked, a fifth of exercise calories eaten back, but 49 carbs over as friend brought a small slice of her 60th birthday cake from the party on Saturday evening, as I had the calories I did indulge.
6/2 139.2 – relieved that number has not gone up; no structured walking yesterday: DS, DIL & little DGDs took me out for afternoon tea as a belated birthday present, then we went out to the Peak District for the little ones to play on the rocks and to enjoy the fresh air & nature, was 920 calories over and I did rein in my choices! (I did take the coffee & walnut cake home to share with DH) Maybe I should have accompanied DS on his 15K run this morning first – no way, I don’t like running!!!
6/3 140.4 – There’s those extra calories. No structured walking again yesterday; lots of other commitments during the day, couldn’t fit it in.
6/4 141.4 – Ughh !! Don’t ask !! Pick myself back up and start again. Went to Alton Towers with all the family, spent the day around the little children’s area, all DGC had a brilliant day on their rides as did their grand/parents !! DH, SIL & myself did sneak a cheeky ride on Nemesis as the queue was only 5 minutes long – stunning!! Consciously ate my own picnic & chose a 98 calorie ice lolly over a 298 white chocolate Magnum, but when I got home !!! 7 miles walked.
6/5 139.8 – 7.44 miles walked yesterday, went out for Sunday lunch with all my siblings, our last meeting before DB and SIL move to Turkey to live, we ate late which meant that during the evening I only had a dish of strawberries and natural yogurt.
6/6 140.2 – 10.4 miles walked yesterday, ¾ exercise calories eaten back.
6/7 138.8 - 10 miles walked yesterday, 25% of exercise calories eaten back. The scale numbers are very erratic this round!
6/8 138.8 – 11.41 miles walked, two thirds of exercise calories eaten back. Will be happy if I can maintain this weight to the end of the challenge, 2 more days to stay consistent!

Forgot to post this at start of Challenge. OW 85.5 kg (65 days ago) GW 72 kg by the end of the year - and sustain it for 2 years!
5/31 81 kg = up 0.5 kg since last weigh in. Boo! Hiss! My plan is to cut out snacks between meals and be ultra scrupulous about tracking.
SW Round 225
6/1 Cos it's already the start of the month where I am. 80.5 kg - poop! poop! eat lots of fiber! - TMI!
6/2 80.3 kg. Not sure of 100% accuracy of scale as it is analog, but I'm too environmentally conscious (and too cheap!) to splash out for a new digital scale. Also SOMEONE keeps shifting the position of the scale, so I keep trying to get it back to the same spot on the bathroom floor. Also I went for a 2 hour walk, which burned up 400 calories, but I only ate an extra 200 over my 1240 limit. The walk was a double bonus because I found a total of .60 cents (.37 US cents) think I'll keep a little jar of all the money I find and buy myself a little reward at the end of the challenge.
6/3 80.3 kg - I forgot to weigh myself before breakfast (pancakes made from scratch, so prob healthier than a mix) Went for a 3 hour walk and had a ham and egg sandwich with black coffee at a cafe - but I passed on the ginger crunch! I found .30 cents (US $0.18) and an Australian $2 coin (???USD) I Have decided I will put any money found plus money saved from passing up ginger crunch and any other snacks and goodies toward renewing my passport, and hopefully, eventually, a trip to Oz - it will be my reward if I can get to my GW and stay there for 2 years.
6/4 80 kg! - yay! First time in 3 years. Raining hard today so mostly stayed inside listening to Wagner and knitting a scarf (I have yarn for a sweater, but won't knit that until GW or I'll have to remake it). I did go to Mass, remembering to fast beforehand this time. After we had a shared lunch of cream of pumpkin soup and ciabatta rolls ... and raspberry slice....
Me to Father: That pink frosting reminds me of St Valentine's Day.
Father: An excellent theological reason for having some (offers me a large piece)
Me: Get away from me, Satan!
He howled .... and I ate the darn thing anyway .... then I stopped at the store on the way home to get milk, and they had crumpets at reduced price .... so I ate the whole packet with butter and honey....
.... I've only had a couple of apples since. Should I go to Confession again now? Or take full advantage until next Sunday?
6/5 80 kg. Today was a Public Holiday (thanks King Charles!) so mostly lazed around and had a few treats. But I did go for a stroll in the park and listened to the band playing, so came in at just 2 calories under my net limit.
6/6 80.1 kg. I am turning 65 next month and retiring - my job is only pt but been working more recently with tidying up various ends and training my replacement. Today we had lunch provided, but I only ate one sandwich, one savory and no sweets. I did walk to and from work, 35 mins each way. I will have to find another way to motivate myself to walk once I retire.
6/7 Today is my 70th consecutive day posting on MFP. Down to 79.8 kg and a pair of jeans I formerly had to squeeeeze into slip on more easily. I ate light for breakfast and lunch, only fruit for a snack, and felt the need for something heartier at dinner. So I made the Poorman's Meal from Depression Cooking with Clara, using a cheese sausage a found in the back of the freezer. It was good, if a little greasy, and very filling for just over 500 calories - I added some Greek yogurt for extra protein. Next time I will try reducing the potato and adding other veg like carrots, and some chickpeas.
6/8 79.5 - yes! one whole kilo lost! And took 71 days to drop 6 kilos. I need to lose another 6 kg to get to the healthy range BMI.

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.
