6/11 217 My weight has still not recovered from the Chinese buffet on Friday. Hopefully tomorrow. I am very proud of myself today. I found out some life altering news (who I thought was my bio father is not! My life is right out of a soap opera!). My son wanted to get me food as comfort, I said no. Life tip: do not do DNA tests if you don’t want to find out crazy things.
6/12 216 Almost recovered from the Chinese buffet on Friday. I am hoping for a whoosh today. I am still dealing with big info I learned yesterday. I did not buy wine & I did not eat my feelings. I chatted with my new biological half siblings. Fortunately for my mental health, the person who I thought was my father had no part of my identity. We were not close & he died 10 years ago. The new bio half siblings live quite far away so no pressure. It is still weird, emotionally draining & crazy. I feel for my mother since she married the other guy because she was pregnant. That was a life changing decision that made her life difficult. I know she is mad at her 20 year old self.
6/13 217.2. I ate Kraft dinner yesterday. Felt the need for carbs instead of protein & veggies. I will do better today as I know it helps anxiety. I do not want to get depressed & I do not want to feel sad. I am not even sure what I should feel. I need to remember that the right food can heal. I do feel a ton of guilt since my mom is over the top sad about my paternity. I feel responsible. Oh well, life can’t always be simple.
6/14 215.2. If we are keeping track it took 4 days to get back to my pre Chinese buffet weight. I am actually surprised because I ate pizza yesterday. Yesterday was the last day of allowed wallowing. So I wallowed, I didn’t eat veggies or keto. Back to the program today even though I don’t feel better. Lots to navigate as we tell my birth father & the rest of my family. From what I have read it is the secrets that cause depression & anxiety so I will get that over with as quickly as possible.
6/15 213.8 Look at that. I am going through the biggest trauma/identity crisis of my life and I am not eating or drinking to feel better. I think I really will be successful reaching my goal. Still prepping mentally for an extended summer solstice fast hopefully for the entire next round
6/16 213 I am still losing & not sure why. I have been pretty sedentary, and ate some banana bread baked by a customer. I have been sleeping more so maybe that is the key. Today I will take the dog for a walk, go to yoga & clean up my diet & do the meal prep that I normally would have done Sunday. I still feel like I am walking through mud but every one that needs to be told about my DNA has been told. Now the healing can begin.

6/13-169.8 - did workout. Ate somewhat better after that but still eating habits need correction.
Not sure how people meet there protein intake, I am far away from my macro percentage for protein. Carb and fat seems to be just taking the whole 🥧.

Going out to dinner tonight close to the dealership to maybe buy a new car for me (buying a car to me is like having a tooth pulled; to my husband, it is arm wrestling with the hope of victory).
I would be happy to keep the car I have. It is only 3 years old with less than 10,000 miles, but my husband wants the GPS map & cruise control. REALLY, IT IS (and will be) AN electric car we use around town-not sure why I need a GPS to go 6 blocks away-I am guessing it is a guy thing)

June 11 – June 20, 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 125.8
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126
Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.
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
6/11 (Maine) – 124.8 Certainly not figuring out cause and effect, but maybe that is the point of maintaining in a “range”. When I hit 123.2 last week, I had no idea why, then in reverse, I have no idea why this morning had an “up” after yesterday’s logical “up”. Just keep watching…….
6/12 (Maine) – 125.0 Odd numbers continue. No reason for an “up”. Just tells us that while we can watch day to day numbers, it is the number over time that matters.
Yesterday, tried a new way of sharing one car while in Maine. Hubby took it early in the morning to head out fishing. When I wanted to us it, I walked the 4 miles to the marina for it. Worked well, other than walking with wallet and such as I was running errands directly from there.
6/13 (Maine) – 124.6 Logical? Did not pre-track my entertaining. Ate more than I should. Tried to estimate afterwards which put me in at over 2000 cal. No exercise. Number goes down.
Today is cleanup, pack. Then we are going to a movie in a theater!! Fun! Then, load car and drive home, and unpack again. Back to Mass.
6/14 (Mass) – 124.6 While I do seem to have more bad choices creeping in, I will say that I am still tracking as accurately as possible. That alone is a solid improvement. Sometimes that “bad” is not as bad as one imagined. Knowing that can be enough to stop the pattern. For example, 6/13, we were entertaining and I did not pre-track. The whipped ricotta and homemade crostini’s were too too good. I ate some with the guests, and then more after they left. Had not tracked and decided to skip the tracking for once. Later than evening, I decided to reconstruct and track, and am pretty sure that I came close to accurate. Yes, it was over 2000 cal FOR THE DAY. Then subtract an estimate of my no exercise daily burn. Ultimately, I was over, but by several hundred calories. Even if it was 500 calories, I would have to repeat this same bad behavior 7 more times to gain one real pound. So the key is to not get into a tailspin and turn that into my daily behavior again. While I value my body weight scale, IMO tracking tells me more than anything else.
Yes, I am now home and pre-tracked my day.
6/15 (Mass) – 125.2 Oops, almost forgot to post. It’s now 8:15 PM Tracking was good yesterday. It was day 3 with no exercise. Yuck! Today almost became day 4, but I got out for a fast evening walk.
6/16 (Mass) – 124.0 (Renpho 123.6) First time the two scales have differed by more than .2, and both were stubborn about staying. Today is a home day. My custom closet got installed yesterday. A big splurge for us and now I have no excuse for not keeping my stuff organized. :P Today, going to start putting things in. Going to go slow and nothing goes back in unless tried on, and will get worn.

EW Round 224: 196
I am just coming off a 10-day maintenance round. I’m experimenting with a cycle of doing 10 days at a deficit followed by 10 days at or just above maintenance. Repeat. It’s partly inspired by the MATADOR study but mostly is just my way of making this process sustainable.
6/11 196.8
6/12 194 Amazing the water weight difference of dropping carbs for just one day! Also, yay! 40 pounds down!!!
6/13 193
6/14 191.8
6/15 191.6. Somewhat artificially low since I slept in and this was two hours after my usual weigh in time.
6/16 193.2 lol Eating 1200 calories over maintenance and a lot of carbs will do that. Plan is for reined in carbs and a caloric deficit today, but I plan to be over in both tomorrow for a celebration I’ve been looking forward to. Then I’ll have another three days of deficit and lower carb eating for the last three days of the challenge.

I had two nice walks with the pup yesterday, plus 2 hours weeding. I don’t use chemicals in my garden and I’m starting to wonder why! Anyway…our favorite traveling smoked chicken guy will be near us today, so that’s lunch/dinner around 1 o’clock. I have leftover salad for my evening snack. Should work well. Enjoy your Sunday!
6/12 - 183
I had a good day yesterday, but woke up feeling yucky. I should go out and work on another part of the garden, but I think I’m going to go back to bed for a while instead. Maybe another hour of sleep will help. You all have a great day!
6/13 - 183
Deja vu all over again! I did go back to bed for an hour yesterday morning—and slept 3.5 hours! Then I pretty much did nothing the rest of the day….read, knitted a couple of swatches for gauge for new projects, took Booker for a nice walk, had several 5-10 minute training sessions with him. I needed a do-nothing day, so all good.
6/14 - 183.2
Salty lunch yesterday, feeling puffy.
6/15 - 183.8
Hmmm. But ok, whatever. I didn’t walk as much as usual yesterday, and had some ice cream last night, so makes sense. Off for a walk now!
6/16 - 183.8
Yep, lasagna for dinner + popcorn later, and I wasn’t even hungry. What’s up with that? Our dog training club awards banquet is this evening, so I’ll try to keep things under control today and tonight. Why does it always feel like I need one of everything or I’ll miss out? I’m going to try hard to stick to salads and a small portion of one dessert. I’m not going to eat but to celebrate everyone’s successes with their dogs last year.

Another round....it's been slow and steady for me the last half dozen rounds...getting stuck in ruts for days at a time before finally breaking though and hopping down. I'm 22km into my 50km dog walk challenge for the Canadian Cancer Society...Mack and I will make it to 50 before the end of the month. We leave for a big trip in 28 days so I would really like to get to 160 before we go so I won't be tickling the 170's when we get back after no scale and tracking while we're away.

R225 End Weight 06/10 - 165.0
6/11 - 165.6 - Very bloated today, thanks to TOM and minimal activity yesterday. I'm heading up to my job today just for one night, back after work tomorrow.
6/12 - DNW - Didn't bring my scale to mom and dad's. Was very snacky last night, but feel significantly less bloated this morning. Heading home after my shift today.
6/13 - 165.2 - still in the 165 rut. Got in a walk with Mack after I had dinner with the boys last night. Heading out for a hike this morning, braving the mud and mosquitos. Going to track every calorie while I'm home this week to get back on track!!
6/14 - 166.8 - BLEH! So much for tracking every calorie...shoved a whole bunch of carbs in my cake hole that didn't belong there yesterday. All I can do is try to be better today. Taking the dog down to the waterfront for a long walk this morning.
6/15 - 165.6 - Better day yesterday but not perfect....tracking was iffy and I was snacky again. We got in almost 6km on our walk at the waterfront, it was lovely! Today will stick closer to home.
6/16 - 167.8 - ate EVERYTHING crunchy and salty yesterday and this morning feel gross, bloated and thirsty. Will try to walk and hydrate it off today.....and put a lock on the chip drawer.

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

Please join us starting on 6/11 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 226.
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. You have only one hour to edit your post. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing!

Hi, I'm Charissa - Round 226
Thank you, again, QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!
Starting Comments:So glad these rounds are 10 days. It really helps with the last day ending on different days for each round.
Round 225 was somewhat disappointing. But so be it.
I'm fairly certain that I'm not going to be where I'd like to be by my July trip, but I will just continue the journey. I still have a couple of rounds to make a difference. I'm just going to focus on a downward trend vs hitting a specific number. My goals are solid (I think) and my last few days have been strong.

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
In a perfect world - But realistically just looking for downward trend.
Challenge Goal - 5.00lbs or Weight of 209. Leaving this for reference but main goal is downward trend.
6/11 214.1 (+0.5/+0.5) ~
6/12 215.0 (+0.9/+1.4) ~ Here we go again, but then, It was the weekend...Last night was guilty of late night snacking, after doing pretty well during the day. The weather was yucky so didn't get a full outside walk in but I did walk for 30 minutes. Today WILL be a good day!! I see lots of new names this round, so Welcome!!!

Hi Everyone – Looking forward to another challenge, my 2nd.
Female, 5’4”, 57 years of age
HW: 210 (May, 2022)
CW: 150.2
GW: still don’t know… hope I’ll know it when I see it in the mirror… chasing a “healthy” BMI first
Goals: Continue working on same goals from previous round because it seems to have worked!
Cardio: 8/10 days (only days I struggle with this are Sunday and Wednesday due to lack of time)
Bodyweight Train: 3/10 days (I can do this on Sunday and Wednesday, but fitting that elusive 3rd workout in has been a struggle)
Logging Food: 10/10 days (using a food scale every time!)
SW Round 226 – 150.2
6/11: 150.4 - so excited to be holding here. Looking forward to maybe even seeing #14x by the end of this round. Have done my 30 minute bodyweight training (went further than I previously have into the workout - YAY), and I added in medium impact cardio for another 30 minutes. I need to meal prep for my week ahead, but groceries have been purchased, so I just need to cook.
6/12: 150.3 - All good here. Not sure what I'll be doing for cardio today because we are going to get much needed rain. Typically my Mondays are active rest days with a good 30 minute walk after lunch but pretty sure that is not going to happen today, happy that I was able to get some cardio in yesterday. Meal prep was done, food is logged.
6/13:150.3 - Annual DR appointment this morning. She was thrilled with my weight loss... said she's going to make me a poster child for doing what should be done. Yesterday, I walked in the rain! Yep, got the cardio in anyway. Heading out now for today's walk. Zumba tonight. Food logged.
6/14:150.3 - The 2nd shingles shot I received at the Dr appt yesterday has kicked my patootie. After a fitful night's sleep (fever, chills, repeat), I woke this morning feeling like I'd been run over by a truck. Headache, body aches, nausea... bleh! I have my food logged, but I am thinking I might take it easy today workout wise, unless I feel better this afternoon.
6/15:149.2 Thanks for the well wishes! I am feeling slightly better, trying to tell myself that my body is mounting this spectacular immune response - LOL! My arm is still red, sore and swollen where the needle went in. Anyway, I did walk yesterday at least. Obviously happy with the scale this morning. My food is logged and my plan is to go to my cardio dance class this evening.
6/16: 149.3 - Cardio dance last night was an awesome workout! FINALLY slept better than I have all week. Food is logged. Totally raining outside, not sure how that will impact my after lunch walk, but it's not looking promising. Maybe it will stop by then. Happy for the weekend!

@clprieur - I wish we could choose like, inspiring, insightful and hug when leaving our votes. Thank you for being so vulnerable and posting your struggles here! I sincerely hope the steps you are taking make you feel stronger every day! Now, if you figure out the whole looking in the mirror and seeing different people depending on the day/hour/stress level - let me know. Happens to me all the time! Same with photos.
@Machias1949 - you make me laugh out loud every day! Thank you!! I hope you found/find success at the car dealership
@SModa61 - Love the 2 appetizers approach! I totally understand how you feel also regarding your big trip to Scotland! I am sure there are many times my husband would love for me to just go out and enjoy the experience rather than track, count, worry... still, the anxiety. I love that you have so many great ideas!5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
06/10 …..196.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
06/11 -196.8- (Trend weight 195.9)
06/12 -197.0- (Trend weight 196.0)
06/13 -195.4- (Trend weight 196.0)
06/14 -194.0- (Trend weight 195.8)
06/15 -196.4- (Trend weight 195.8) Amazing that I can gain 2 ½ lbs just from eating Pizza at a family outing at the pizzeria. But sometimes I can drop one or even (occasionally) 2 pounds overnight if it’s just water retention. But I don’t have the waterpill anymore to help so hopefully the old ticker can push it all through in the next day or two. I’m planning lots of water today and an especially low carb menu for the day.
06/16 -195.4- (Trend weight 195.8) One pound down from the 2.5 lbs gained from the Pizza outing. I’ve pre-logged my food for the day which helps to keep my macros good, but it also helps me to overlook my choices to see if they will be healthy or beneficial in other ways besides satiety. I plan on getting some housecleaning done today which should help burn some calories. I babysit tomorrow and that always means lots of stairs as he plays mainly upstairs in his bedroom/playroom. So hopefully I will get in some better movement over the next couple of days as I’ve been very Lazy (with a capital L).

RND 226
Welcome everyone!
This round I’m focusing on hitting my protein goal and keeping sodium low. I’ve set an incentive for myself on my long-term weight loss goal: I’ve wanted to get a tablet for a long time but couldn’t afford it. Going to set aside some money and if I can stay below 150 for more than 2 weeks, I’ll get one! Here’s hoping I can coincide with Black Friday and save some money too!
5’9 Female, LT Goal of 150lbs. ST Goal of 190lbs.
End of June Goal: Leave the 190s behind for good!
SW RND 224 - 195
SW RND 225 - 194
SW RND 226 - 194
6/11 - 194 Ugh. No movement between rounds. At least it didn’t go up! Was at a grad party for my cousin yesterday and then had nachos for dinner…. Way over cal. Goal and almost no water yesterday. Today focusing on protein, water, and exercise. Good luck everyone on this round’s goals!
6/12 - 191 Well I’m okay with that! Did a lot of housework yesterday and was careful about calories. Met protein goal but was high on fats too. Making sure to avoid transfats and saturated fats in large amounts, but tracking those to a high degree will be a future week’s goal. Tonight I’m debating between a hike, a neighborhood walk, or going to the pool for a bit.
6/13 - 190 Either people need to stop having graduation parties or I need to learn some self control… Okay, it’s definitely the latter! I’m way over calories today and it still 4 hours until dinner, so that’s not too encouraging. It’s difficult to be hyped about a scale victory when the NSVs seem so far off. Going on at least 2 walks today and a lot tomorrow. I need the exercise!
6/14 - 194 Yesterday was not good food wise and was very not great sodium wise. I’m tired and moody today, and feeling down. Trying to drink my water and eat better today - sucks when you feel sick and want to binge or not care 😅
6/15 - 191 Bit better than yesterday, but still a bit blah. Drinking lots of water and hoping that I’m not coming down with something. Canceled my martial arts class tonight because my hip still hurts.
6/16 - 190 Feeling kinda bloated today, so hopeful that maybe this number will come down more in the next couple of days. Still not feeling great, so water, water, water… I've been good about breakfasts and lunches and then end up throwing away dinner plans for something that is easier to cook - and worse for my body...

@itladyee - Charissa, you've got this! You can make good choices... and/or deliberate choices. I'm rooting for you!!
@Viridian1539 - Bekkah, can you meal prep for your dinners throughout the week? That has gotten me out of many a bind when I am just too tired to care anymore. I can say, "Oh, wait, I have a perfectly healthy on plan meal waiting for me in the fridge." I use the website eatingwell.com. There is a ton of information on that website and you can totally go down the rabbit hole looking for something... but I am following a Mediterranean meal plan and I can generally find something that is within my calorie range and within my personal tastes. There are foods you can make ahead and freeze (like a chicken chili which I make A LOT), which you can then reheat for later in the week. There are plans for diabetics, inflammation issues, etc. Again, let me say, there is a ton of information on there and it might be overwhelming, but I found that if I do it in small bits, like 1 or 2 recipes a week (not a full 7 days of different foods), I can handle it.4 -
@BringIt2023 - I'll try taking a look after work; meal prepping would probably be a good thing if I can find the time to manage it. Thanks for the advice!3

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

06/16-115.8- Damn, two days outside my goal.
Going out to dinner tonight close to the dealership to maybe buy a new car for me (buying a car to me is like having a tooth pulled; to my husband, it is arm wrestling with the hope of victory).
I would be happy to keep the car I have. It is only 3 years old with less than 10,000 miles, but my husband wants the GPS map & cruise control. REALLY, IT IS (and will be) AN electric car we use around town-not sure why I need a GPS to go 6 blocks away-I am guessing it is a guy thing)
We never use the GPS in our car as it is never up-to-date. It can only be updated by a Hyundai dealership on a service and as the service internals are 2 yearly it rarely gets done. We always use the maps on our 'phone as they are always up-to-date including temp. road works/closures. Yes it is a guy thing; that is why DH wanted to update ours a couple of years ago!!!4 -

13 June 66.5kg
14 June 66.4kg
15 June 66.6kg
16 June 66.2kg
17 June 66.8kg 😯 well I have no idea what's going on. I didn't work out yesterday as planned, but still went for a short walk and ate within my calorie limit. I did have a coffee before weigh-in which I dont usually do, so perhaps that had an effect. I went over the fat macros yesterday, but I always struggle to make
my macros goals.
I decided to take measurements again to see if any movement there and I have lost 1cm from my Waist and 2cm from my bigger leg (I have asymmetry in my thighs), there was a difference of 4cm before, now only 2cm, so at least that's something. I can also see a difference in my complexion from reducing refined carbs and cheese. I'm not giving up! I've lost the weight before, so I can do it again, it's all about consistency. 🙏🏼🌟6 -

@felicityb2026 remember that an 8 ounce cup of coffee (and mine are bigger than that) that has not "exited" will be a half pound on the scale.
