06/08 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) My out-of-town cardiology appointment went very well yesterday. I donβt have to go back for awhile. I had a Very high carb and calorie dinner yesterday while in the city. Bad snacks last night that I should not have brought home. My elastic waist shorts are rolling down which means I need the next size up again - that clothing which has been painstakingly stored upstairs. It was a lot of work sorting all the clothing in April. I will not be going up and dragging any back down! I am happy that I should be home the next couple of days to get back on track and back to routine. I have been traveling quite a bit lately which is never good for me. I didnβt weigh in today. I already know that I need to get back on course. But I did need to face and speak my situation truths so here I am, bursting at the seams.

@bringit2023 As for the benefit of this challenge, I find it therapeutic. I have never been a diary type person, but I am understanding the value in that act. There is something about reflecting on your life in such a way that you can express it, that is different than just cruising through each day. It is also nice to have a place to express thoughts. Sometimes family and friends get tired of hearing ones latest "update".
The other component of this challenge that works better for me is there is no "win" and no "failure". When I dropped my weight recently in 20/21, I was in this challenge, but also another that each day met certain standards, or not, and at the end of the month one "succeeded" or not. It was great motivation for the first 5 months, as I got into a goal range figuring out how to "succeed" was confusing.....for me. I had left this group, and eventually the other group was wrong for my psyche. Unfortunately, life got complicated as well, and I imploded. Anyhow, I came back here Jan 1, and the balance of the group is great. I might have an "off" day, but my competitive side did not face "failure". Hope you are finding the positivity as well!

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
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.
6/8 95 lbs Still the same weight. I got worried and exercised actually more than usual yesterday. Having a really bad BPD episode and just trying to survive my stupid brain right now, so who knows what will happen.

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 think I am dehydrated and very stressed which has resulted in the overnight drop.

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.

7 June 77.5kg
8 June 66.4kg
9 June 66.1kg
Stuck within my calorie goal yesterday. Didn't go for my lunchtime walk as it was raining, but went for a 7km run last night. I'm re-learning the mindset of ignoring that little voice when I come home from work that says I'm tired and I'm not in the mood to workout. Instead I go through the motions. Next thing you know, I'm in the middle of a workout and enjoying it and feeling energised πββοΈ that voice has always been there, even when I was younger, the trick is to develop the habit of ignoring it ππΌ

Just joining - thanks for starting the group.
Been on the "diet" band wagon for a long time but have recently changed my way of eating so wanting to apply this lifestyle change to losing some weight.
Starting weight today: 210.4 pounds
Goal weight: 165ish
SW Round 225
6/7 210.4
6/8 210.4 - Fingers crossed and mouth zipped for tomorrow as I did snack a bit too much yesterday.

Smile at it. I hope you're well. I'm going to carry this ease through the last two days here because it tells me *I can do it!*

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.
6/9 79.5 kg. I did eat one piece of KFC chicken today - just one. No fries or any other extras. It's okay to say Yes to yourself every now and then so long as you say No most of the time.
6/1011 -
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, itβs 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 139.2
6/1 139.2 β 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 β 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 β no way, I donβt like running!!!
6/3 140.4 β Thereβs those extra calories. No structured walking again yesterday; lots of other commitments during the day, couldnβt fit it in.
6/4 141.4 β Ughh !! Donβt ask !! Pick myself back up and start again. Went to Alton Towers with all the family, spent the day around the little childrenβs 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 β 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 β 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 β 10.4 miles walked yesterday, ΒΎ 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 β 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!
6/9 139.4 β 7.86 miles walked, two thirds of exercise calories eaten back.

Starting Weight- 147
Current weight- 148
10 Day Goal-I would love to get down to and stay under my starting weight. Keep up healthier eating. exercise the majority of days, and drink more water. I also need to remember to take my vitamins.
Ultimate Goal Weight: Sub 130
6/1 145.9 No gym, but maintained calories. Did a bit of meal prep.
6/2 145.2 Today was spent doing major housework. No gym, but definitely an active day. Ended up missing lunch and have junk for dinner. I'm guessing I came in around calories but wan't able to find an accurate amount.
6/3 145.0 No gym again today, but Went to Sea World and walked around. Waited until I got home to eat. Came in under calories.
6/4 145.9 I am so tired today and my back and thighs are sore. Trying to convince myself to get up and move, but really just want to stay in bed. Okay, I forced myself to get up and get moving. Managed to complete a 90 minute walk. Still tired but feeling accomplished. Stayed under calories.
6/5 145.5 34 minute walk. Stayed under calories.
6/6 145.0 65 minute walk. More meal prepping. Under on calories.
6/7 144.8 Finally got my walk in at 10pm. 44minute walk. Under calories. Having some food premade and measured is definitely helping.
6/8 144.4 Another late night walk. 47 minutes. Under calories. Dentist tomorrow.

6/1 145.6 (trend 146.4) New round, new month, let's go!! I really need to push myself harder in June as I've been coasting along for the last 2 months and getting too comfortable. I'm upping my round step target by 15,000 steps and committing to no alcohol until I'm on holiday on 20th. I will go for a 4 mile walk every morning and strength train 4 times per week minimum. I will stick to my calorie target and prioritise nutritious food. Any sneaky bites will be logged, no cheating! I need a breakthrough...
Yesterday was 1.5hr lower body strength training and 4.3 mile morning walk, calories good, alcohol free.
STEPS 12,755
6/2 144.8 (trend 146.2) Yes! Into the lower 140s finally! Lots of peeing yesterday so I must've had a lot of retained water.
Yesterday was 0.5hr upper body strength training and 4.3 mile morning walk, calories good, alcohol free.
STEPS 13,005
6/3 145.0 (trend 146.0) Back up a little, just a normal fluctuation I expect, as I have eaten exactly the same thing for the last 3 days, with the exception of having salty ham instead of chicken yesterday.
Yesterday was 50 minutes lower body strength training and 4.1 mile morning walk, calories good, alcohol free.
STEPS 13,745
6/4 144.4 (trend 145.8) Glad to see things are steadily moving in the right direction, just need to keep it up. OH wants to do a barbecue tonight, I'm not keen on having the temptation, as this will mean beers in the sunshine, which I find so hard to resist. He's been away visiting friends this weekend so I've found it a lot easier to stick to my plan. Hopefully, as he's already had a fun weekend, I can talk him out of it. Being on a calorie deficit can be sooo boring at times!
Yesterday was a rest day from the gym. 4.4 mile morning walk, calories good, alcohol free.
STEPS 12,695
6/5 145.0 (trend 145.7) I dyed my hair yesterday, after umming and ahhing for ages, and I love it! It's sort of light brown and looks really natural and classy, phew! I lost the battle over the barbecue, so did end up over calories by a lot BUT I avoided drinking beer, yay! Big win! I bought an alcohol-free botanical gin which really did the job mixed with tonic, and even made me feel tipsy for some reason. It was only 10 cals per 50ml, as opposed to about 100 cals for normal gin. It's called Clean G, try it! Bit of a gain today due to the extra food in my system I expect. I had cajun chicken breast, jackfruit slaw and spicy bombay rice (all from Morrisons), then later snacked on a sausage and a couple of Twister minis... oh, and some of my daughter's Hagen Daz, oops.
Yesterday was a rest day from the gym, 5 mile morning walk, calories approx 600 over, alcohol free.
STEPS 14,482
6/6 144.6 (trend 145.6) I decided to start training towards doing pull ups at the gym, it's going to be a long journey! I can hang from the bar and engage my lateral and shoulder muscles, but no upwards movement at all. I'll try to make time for practicing at every gym session. Made a massive batch of hot and sour chicken soup yesterday, which is my staple lunch most days at the moment. Happy to see a drop on the scale today, as I ate most of my calories very late last night and had to get up early today.
Yesterday was 1hr20 upper body at the gym, 3.8 mile morning walk, calories good, alcohol free.
STEPS 11,132
6/7 143.8 (trend 145.3) I did not think I would see the 143s this round, yay! I had to drive OH to Surrey and back yesterday morning so no morning walk. We got back just in time for me to go to an appointment for some under eye treatment at the beauty therapists, which left me looking a bit bruised and freakish, so I decided not to go out for fear of scaring little children! Still got some swelling this morning and it's a cloudy day so can't really hide behind sunglasses for my walk, I'll just have to brave it.
Yesterday was one week of no alcohol, calories good.
STEPS 3,925
6/8 143.0 (trend 145.0) Wow, another drop! Cutting out alcohol has made such a huge difference to me. I'm excited to see where I'll be if I keep this up until 21st when I go away on holiday. Just 0.2 more pounds will put me in the healthy range bmi bracket, which will be a great feeling!
Yesterday was 1hr30 lower body at the gym, 4.9 mile morning walk, calories good, alcohol free.
STEPS 14,509
6/9 142.6 (144.7) There it is, no longer overweight bmi, I'm thrilled! The family ordered Domino's pizza last night. I went for a walk while they were placing the order, so I wasn't tempted to add anything for myself, and by the time I got back it was all eaten, thankfully. Although I did munch on my daughter's left-over crusts, but I skipped dinner so I'm not too worried.
I didn't go to the gym yesterday, although I planned to, but I had some chores that really needed doing, so they took precedent. No big morning walk either, but I did walk to the post office carrying a big heavy parcel, and then walked around town for a bit.
I hope I can avoid a bounce back tomorrow, it would be great to finish this round in my new bmi range.
Yesterday was no gym, 5.7 miles total, calories good, alcohol free.

6/1 218.8
6/2 217.7 I decided to make a fasting calendar for the month. I think this will help me. Part of my problem is food waste. I cook enough for several meals & I am the only one that eats leftovers. This month I will do food prep only so meals are quick to throw together.
6/3 218.6 Not sure why I popped up today but I will be fasting until supper tomorrow. I may allow some small things (like celery & hummus) but I will not be eating any full meals.
6/4 218.2 I feel like the scale is moving in the right direction. I was sooooo hungry yesterday so I did not fast. I just could not do it. Trying again today. I will also prep for meals for the upcoming week. I have simple quick meals planned (fast fry steak, mushrooms & eggs, spicy garlic shrimp with broccoli & spinach & a taco salad (no cheese this week)). I will have everything cut up so the cooking time will be under 15 minutes. Easy peasy & quicker than take out even!
6/5 217.2 Yay! the scale is cooperating! I was again unable to fast yesterday so I may just concentrate on hitting my protein goal every day & just do an extended summer solstice fast. I feel there is more healing (& weight loss) with a longer fast for me. I usually donβt struggle after the first 3 days so attempting these short fasts has been tough, especially since I went way off track last round. Iβll get there. One day at a time
6/6 216.9 I am happy to have recommitted this round/month. I kind of wasted all of that time on the fasting calendar, but I am mentally preparing for a fast at the end of the month & maybe I will do some longer breaks between meals. I made spicy garlic shrimp with broccoli & spinach last night. It was super quick, easy & so tasty. It will definitely be in my weekly rotation. High protein, low carbs & calories. Almost the perfect meal for me.
6/7 216.4 I donβt know what was going on the past 2 weeks. I was still weighing, logging my food & doing the same exercise but my body would not lose. I guess it realizes that I am serious and going to lose this weight so it is cooperating. Not on my original timeline but whatever I am not giving up. I am sure this will happen again and I will need to remember to be patient & consistent. Lots of healing went on in the past 3 weeks. I am able to walk better, my hips & feet hurt less & I feel stronger.
6/8 216.2 this round has been a good restart for me. I am happy that I am back at it & did not take a longer break.
6/9 215.4. I am happy to see that number on the scale. I really struggled with the scale last round. Today is DHs birthday & at his request we are going to a Chinese buffet. It has been a planned treat day for a month. The good thing about a buffet is that there are no leftovers tomorrow. I may fast until supper & I wonβt bother getting my moneys worth. I know I will be up tomorrow but I also know it wonβt be a real gain, just a temporary one.
