65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 226 (my 157th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round.
Goal this round is same as last; aim to get back under and stay under 139 and hopefully lose a pound. Really try 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.

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.

It definitely is too tasty to have around very often. I'm closing in to the top end of my maintenance range, so I've got to be more conscious of my calories.

Why is it when I encounter big social events that I lose all self control? I had a plan going in to it but once I was caught up in the atmosphere of the event, I just dropped my plan and ate and drank whatever I felt like having. I don't even know what I can learn from it to do things differently next time. I enjoyed myself and these big events don't happen very often. I think I just need to leave it behind me and start again today. I showed up here so I will count that as a step in the right direction. I think I will eat at maintenance today because of I try to restrict with a hangover I may end up bingeing again.
6/18: 162.5 lbs
I actually stayed at weight-loss calories yesterday and did not eat at maintenance so yay for small wins. I am running out of time to turn this around. I will just keep focusing on my 2 daily goals and perhaps next round I will be back to where I was earlier this round.

I went for a lunchtime walk yesterday, and a short workout (would've been longer but strained my arm, but feeling good again today). I ate under my calories, but I did have a couple of packaged things at dinner, perhaps holding extra water. Went over my fat in my macros. I will make an effort to eat more protein today and reduce my fat and stay away from packaged foods.
Here's hoping next round is much more successful!! 🤞🏼6 -

6/11 142.6 (trend 144.0) I'm going on holiday at the start of the next round and I really want to give it everything I've got for the next 10 days so I can feel most confident in my summer clothes and beachwear, and also to give me a bit of a buffer against expected holiday gain. However, yesterday wasn't my greatest effort, as I didn't track carefully with our barbecue that we had, and I had several alcoholic drinks. Feeling a bit stiff and tired this morning, I need to fight the urge to be lazy today.
Yesterday was 4.6 mile morning walk, 1hr lower body at the gym, calories estimated, alcohol.
STEPS 15,417
6/12 143.2 (trend 143.9) Yikes, this was not the plan! OH made amazing baba ganoush and chicken kebabs with flatbreads and I ate far too much after barely eating all day. It wasn't until I checked his recipe for the dip that I realised how much fat was in it so I probably shouldn't have eaten half a bowl full, oops. I'm feeling very bloated this morning so I think this gain is partly food in transit, but also I think the hot, humid weather we are having is causing me to retain water as my joints are very stiff.
Yesterday was 4.6 mile morning walk, rest day from the gym, calories estimated and over, alcohol 1 drink.
STEPS 13,664
6/13 141.4 (trend 143.6) Phew, back down. I got out for my walk at 7am because the day was due to be a scorcher and it was glorious! It had rained the night before so everything was lush and fresh, very energising. We had thunder storms and heavy rain again in the late afternoon which caused some temporary flooding at my mum's house and she called me in a panic, asking me to come and lift paving slabs in the rain to let the water drain, but the water was gone by the time we finished the conversation, still feeling guilty that I didn't rush to her rescue though. It's her 79th birthday next week and I worry so much about her living on her own as she's becoming quite thin and frail but still insists on trying to do too much herself and she's been fainting recently and hurting herself. I'm going to be out of the country for 9 days starting next week and I just found out that my brother will also be away in India so mum will be on her own and we have more rain due. I hope she doesn't do anything silly and get into difficulties.
Yesterday was 4.85 mile morning walk, 1hr upper body at the gym, calories good, alcohol free.
STEPS 14,759
6/14 141.4 (trend 143.3) No morning walk yesterday as I had a dentist appointment then went shopping. Back home I started to feel really unwell, headache and body aches, so I laid down for the rest of the day and went to bed around 8pm. Feeling slightly better today but not sure if I should take another day off and rest.
Yesterday was no walk or gym, calories good, alcohol free.
STEPS 4,173
6/15 142.0 (trend 143.1) I fell off the wagon a bit yesterday and had a few drinks at the pub followed by snacking at home. Totm is due and it's making me lethargic and moody, as well as bloated and weak, such fun. I'm skipping my walk today but will go to the gym as I've been slacking a bit in that area. I'm sooo hungry today, it's going to take some grit to not eat everything in sight.
Yesterday was 4.45 mile morning walk, no gym, calories not tracked, alcohol.
STEPS 13,902
6/16 143.2 (trend 143.1) I had a slow morning, dragged myself to the gym, then cleaned all the floors in the house. I was pretty exhausted, so didn't manage much else. I had a big appetite but managed to stay within calories by eating lots of salad and protein. I'm trying not to stress over the gain, it might be a delayed result of drinking the day before yesterday, causing water retention, or due to totm being a bit late.
Yesterday was no morning walk, 1hr lower body at the gym, calories good, alcohol free.
STEPS 4,763
6/17 142.0 (trend 143.0) Still waiting for late totm and dealing with bloating and hormone issues so not feeling that upbeat lately. I walked into town to get a haircut in the afternoon, I hate getting haircuts, they always mess it up! Taking mum for an early birthday lunch today as we'll be away for her birthday next week. I'm planning on having tuna niçoise salad, so hopefully it will fit within my daily calories.
Yesterday was 4.25 miles morning walk and 1.5hr upper body at the gym. Calories good, one drink.
STEPS 17,974
6/18 142.6 (trend 142.9) Getting fed up with late totm still not here. I'm bloated, grumpy and feeling really fat. I have a bikini wax booked for tomorrow as it should have been over by then, gah! And then flying on Wednesday, not impressed. I did well to stick to sensible choices at lunch with my mum yesterday, though I did have a few tastes of her pudding, a glass of wine and a few chips. I got a bit self-destructive in the evening because of my mood and over-ate on some high calorie carby noodles that OH made and had a few more drinks, so I'm disappointed with myself today.
Yesterday was 2 mile afternoon walk, no gym, calories over, alcohol.
STEPS 10,908
6/19 142.6 (trend 142.9) More bad choices yesterday as I had a few pints at the pub, then homemade fish and chips. It was a really nice day though, sometimes you have to live a little! Totm finally came today, so that's a relief. I'm not going to make my goal this round, but it's ok, I had a goal of reaching 144lbs before my trip and I've done that.
Yesterday was 4.65 mile morning walk, no gym, calories over, alcohol.
STEPS 13,500
6/20 140.6 (trend 142.6) That was a surprise, 2lbs off overnight! That makes 40lbs down from my highest weight 😁 I didn't eat much yesterday as I was busy with errands and packing, then fell asleep early. Today will be a similar day, no time for the gym and it's raining heavily this morning so I will skip the walk.
Yesterday was no morning walk or gym, calories good, some alcohol.

6/11 – DNW – Forgot to weigh myself; and I’m sure my weight would probably be up, but that would make me feel worse than I already do. I haven’t felt well these past few days or weeks.
6/12 – 144.6 lbs – I guess I’ll use this as my starting weight for this round. Down -- lbs this round and 9.6 lbs to goal. I started my period today. I really struggled with my mental health all weekend (IE, I had to call a suicide help line on Saturday morning and yesterday I told my husband that I was sick of him and I wish he would move out). I really think I need to talk to my doctor about this. Or a psychiatrist. I am crazy enough without hormonal issues. ☹ I am wondering if I could go on birth control to help deal with this? Does anyone on here have any experience with mental health issues + peri-menopause?
6/13 – 144.2 lbs - Down 0.2 lbs this round and 9.4 lbs to goal.
6/14 – 141.8 lbs - Down 2.8 lbs this round and 6.8 lbs to goal; 105.07/210 miles for June.
6/15 – 140.4 lbs - Down 4.2 lbs this round and 5.4 lbs to goal; 115.35/210 miles for June. I started Vyvanse and Cipralex today.
6/16 – 139.8 lbs - Down 4.8 lbs this round and 4.8 lbs to goal; 115.44/210 miles for June. Well, my period came and went. For the last few days I have NOT been starving, I have NOT been irritable and I’ve been able to access the logical part of my brain. I have been able to make some kind of repair to my relationship with my partner, and I have been able to attend work every day (although I have not been able to focus for some of that time). I went ahead and called the psychiatrist and was able to have a call with him on Weds aft. He suggested Vyvanse for the binge eating, which I started yesterday. (It did not help me to focus yesterday, but it was only day one, so…) I also started Cipralex, as he said that it is sometimes used to help with mood swings in menopause. He also said that Cipralex in adjunct with Welbutrin (which I already take) is used to assist with major depressive episodes, which I may or may not be experiencing. So, I will give these a try. He also prescribed a few tabs of Clonazapam, to be used only in case of emergency, as it is habit forming, and I have struggled with substance use in the past. I wasn’t supposed to start both drugs on the same day, but I am not very compliant. Lol. Whoopsie. I am very happy to be under 140 again. I got under 140 in April, but did not maintain that for very long. I know I have my goal set at 135 at the moment, but I am currently thinking that if I could stay under 140, and maintain that, it might actually be a weight that I’d be happy with. (IE, 139.8 or lower.) That idea of being satisfied with a particular weight is very strange to me. I have never experienced it, in my entire life. Ever. I have always looked at the scale and wished the number was lower. Every single time. As I’ve been losing weight, more recently, and struggled to set a goal weight, I have been fearful that there will never be a weight that I will be happy with. Like, what if my head is so messed up that I can’t ever be happy with the number on the scale, the clothing size, or how I look in the mirror? The last time I went shopping, my pants were size 2-4 and my shirts were size small. And all those clothes still fit; and some are even loose. And yet, when I look in the mirror, I still see a fat person. I try to connect the fact that if I am wearing those sizes (even if those are “vanity” sizes, although they were purchased across a variety of stores) I cannot still be “fat”. But I still look fat. I saw some pics of me a few weeks ago and I just… still look fat, to myself. (Mind you my weight was up to 149.4, at that point.) I looked at myself in the mirror this morning, and I actually was somewhat satisfied with what I saw. I mean, I have to grab a handful of saggy skin and pull it to the side while I look in the mirror, LOL, but it is what it is. Not much I can do about that until I save up about $20-30k. Anyway, the thing I am getting at is that maybe there is a weight that I can be happy with. Maybe that is a possibility. And I know a lot of it is dependent on my mood for that day (IE, when I am depressed I can look in the mirror and I see a 350 lbs person), so I know it will shift from day to day, or even hour to hour. But I do know that when I tried on the size 2 jeans, I was very pleased with the size and also satisfied with how I looked in the mirror. And today I felt satisfied with my “side view”. (Looking in the mirror too much is an eating disorder behaviour, btw.) Anyway, this is all very complicated but I am slowly teasing it out, I think. I feel hopeful, today, thus far. But it is very early. LOL. I am also happy with the fact that I have been able to drink 6 cups of fluids every day for the past few days (I count all fluids that go into my face). That is quite good, for me. I have to be very intentional to get even that amount in, which I know is a lot less than lots of folks on here drink! And I am glad that I set myself a goal of trying to achieve 210 miles in the month of June. I should say that that is a total of all of my steps, so, that includes all my “walking around the house” steps. It is about 15,000 steps a day, which equals about 7 miles a day, according to my Fitbit. But I set a goal of trying to hit 7 miles a day of steps, and so far, I am on track to hit that goal. I think I should start taking note of my sleep, as well – Weds night I only got 4.75 hours of sleep, and yesterday I was not able to focus for even one minute of work. Last night I slept very well, and got 7 straight hours, which is amazing, for me. Like, incredible, and unheard of. And I feel great, mentally, at the moment. I think that sleep impacts my mental health significantly, and I should probably track it, in some way. (It also impacts my ability to stay on track with calorie goals, which in turn also impacts my mental health.) I made an appt with GP for Tuesday after work. I’m going to ask about the idea of birth control as way of getting a handle on my periods. So that might help, too. Anyway, I better get ready to take the dog out, he is going to start whining at any moment. 😊 Have a great day, everyone!
6/17 – 138.6 lbs - Down 6 lbs this round and 3.6 lbs to goal; 135.69/210 miles for June. I’m killin’ it. I can say that I have been meeting my caloric goals most days this round, but I would not insinuate that the loss is just because of that. I have to assume that it is related to my menstrual cycle in some way. After I finally got my period, I just wasn’t as hungry (even before I started taking the Vyvanse) and also when I was hungry I actually chose protein most of the time – I wasn’t starving for carbs. Augh. Hormones are the WORST. Anyway, I am back down to my lowest weight, which I had achieved in April but was not able to maintain for very long. Let me see how long I can do this. I am getting close to my goal; maybe I can actually make it. Yesterday I walked into my bedroom to see that the dog had peed in the bedroom (he sometimes has accidents, still, after being rescued in January after being in a kennel for almost a year where he just peed on the floor every day). Anyway, he somehow managed to pee all over my scale. So when I was cleaning it I somehow changed the setting from pounds to kgs and I can’t see how to change it back. Lol. That is confusing. I was thinking that maybe next round I could make one of my daily goals to be under 140 for 10 days. That would be next level (and ensure that I meet my long term goal of staying in a “normal” BMI). It still seems kind of wild that I am even under 140… the thought of maintaining that seems kind of unreal to me. I have never in my life been so low on the scale, but more importantly, I have never been so fit! I am pretty lean and my legs are strong from so much walking this past year and I can go up and down stairs easily and I can run for short periods of time and I do have some definition of muscles, somehow, in my arms and legs, that you can see even with all the extra skin in the way. So I think I have some upper body strength, although I do need to do my actual strength exercises. I can do all kinds of stuff like biking and kayaking! It is pretty amazing what the body can endure and overcome, really. (After being 350+ lbs from the age of 13-35 and then yo-yoing between 170-240 from the age of 36-present, 53, through cycles of excessive restricting followed by cycles of bingeing.) I was curious and I see that since I got my dog on January 2nd I have lost 25.6 lbs. That is actually pretty impressive. Also, he has lost 7 lbs! He was very overweight when I got him as nobody at the shelter would walk him – he was too big and strong and had zero leash manners, plus he was a bit bitey with resource guarding issues and zero impulse control. And he looks like he has some pittie in him, so lots of folks are scared of him, poor guy. Okay, well, he mostly looks like a tall pitbull. Lol. Which is a banned breed, in Ontario. Unfortunately for him he is big suck and loves people to pat him and love on him but some people are downright scare of him. And he is dog reactive, so when he barks and lunges he scares the crap out of people, and nobody seems to understand that this is a fear reaction. Poor baby. We are working on it, though, and he has gotten soooo much better.
I love that big goofy guy. Anyway we have both leaned out quite a bit. The other day I saw a lady running. We actually crossed paths a few times. She was doing great and I wanted to be supportive so I waved and shouted “You’re doing great! Keep going!” (I’m from a small town, I talk to everyone.) She smiled and then I pointed at my dog and said, “You need to get a crazy dog!!”. Lol. She laughed. Later I thought about what I had said and I hope she didn’t think I was being facetious. (She was overweight and I was thinking maybe she is sensitive to people’s comments, like I am.) I hope she knew I was being sincere.
6/18 – 137.4 lbs - Down 7.2 lbs this round and 2.4 lbs to goal; 145.61/210 miles for June.
6/19 – 137.6 lbs - Down 7.0 lbs this round and 2.6 lbs to goal; 148.66/210 miles for June.
6/20 – 137.4 lbs - Down 7.2 lbs this round and 2.4 lbs to goal; 152.44/210 miles for June. I am very happy with my success this round! I am at an all-time low, for me, and I am a bit stunned that my weight is in the 130’s. It just feels so strange. And it also feels strange that I actually feel a bit of hope around maintaining in this range. That is just such a new mindset, for me. I usually just assume that it will only be a matter of time before I start gaining and go back up to 220. But I feel different, this time, somehow. Well first of all I know I have to walk my dog for a minimum of 2 hours a day for at least the next five years, so that helps. Lol. Yesterday I was soooo fatigued. I just could not seem to do anything. I had to call my dog-walker to walk Golly. I just didn’t think I had the strength to wrangle his dog-reactive butt. So I did not achieve my goal of 7 miles of steps, yesterday. I didn’t even crack 10k steps, which is unusual, for me. I have been feeling pretty spaced out since I started my new meds last Thursday. I am not able to do anything at work, and although I have been logging in, at least, both Friday and yesterday I had to log out early because I was just too sleepy, and had to go take a nap. I am trying not to be too concerned, as side-effects from new meds usually go away after a week or two, for me, so we shall see. I can definitely say that I haven’t been as hungry, but that could be related to my menstrual cycle, not the Vyvanse, so it’s hard to tell. I am going to see my GP tonight after work, and I think I am going to ask both for birth-control AND a referral to a gynecologist or endocrinologist or whoever helps with menopausal stuff. It’s worth a shot.

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.
6/17 194.6
6/18 196.8 lol Back where I started. Three days of lots of carbs and eating at maintenance or higher will do that. It’ll drop again. Maybe not by the end of this challenge, but it will. It always does as long as I don’t give up.
6/19 194
6/20 193.2 Thanks for the good round, everyone. I’ll be back for Round 228.

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.
6/17 - 167.4 - it's going to take a bit to undo the damage of my 3 day snack attack. I've got 3 shifts in a row starting today...so hopefully that will help as I'll have to eat only what I bring with me for the day, unless the lovely ladies I work with bring treats.
6/18 - 165.8 - that's better. Great activity day yesterday with walking to work and up and down the stairs to the stock room 85 million times. Made ribs for my dad and husband for father's day dinner...sooo gooood!!
6/19 - 166.6 - this round is a write off at this point....just going to retroactively call it a diet break. 20 days until we leave on our UK trip so I need to make some sort of impact on the scale soon so I have a buffer on our vacation. Going to make a plan tonight when I get home before I go grocery shopping tomorrow to make sure I have all the good choices available.
6/20 - 166.8 - yepppers, write off!! See you all tomorrow in the next round6 -

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.
6/17 (Mass) – 124.2 (Renpho 123.8) Second day with a .4 differential. This weekend is double father’s day. Today, I am cooking and entertaining with DS, DD, SIL, DGS, and hubby. All recipes I have never done before. Hawaiian them. Not sure how that happened, but should be fun. I’ll track today through lunch until the get together. I honestly do not have the energy to enter each of these 7 new recipes into the MFP recipe builder. So today is going to finish with thoughtful eating. Only one serving of anything and must stay an appropriate portion. Tomorrow, I will be able to track again even though we are taking my parents out to dinner.
6/18 (Mass) – 125.8 (Renpho 125.4) OMG why do I do this, and I am NOT complaining about the weight. Yesterday, I followed my plan as above, got through all the entertaining, and was planning on posting today about how I did not do my “after entertaining” binge behavior. Well, oops, I did it again. Next thing you know, the remaining 1/3 of a whole Cremora Tart was gone and in my belly. I felt disgusting!! I need to remember that. For some weird reason, I had stepped in the scale while changing before the kids arrived. Because of data, I stepped on the scale again before bed. Up 2.2 lb. Yes, I know that is not body fat gain. It was how much food was sitting in my stomach. No wonder I did not feel great. Overnight, I had hours of raging hot flashes as well. I also had hot flashes one other night a few weeks ago, when I evening binged. Seems to be another cause and effect and another non-scale reason that this behavior, that I think I enjoy doing, is actually not so enjoyable. Today is clean up, hopefully get some exercise, do returns, then take my parents out for fathers day. Stating it now, ordering the prosciutto wrapped cod. Calories are reported as 800. I can work with that for my day.
6/19 (Mass) – 125.0 (Renpho 125.2) Yesterday was good, except for missing another exercise day. Need to sort out how to change this. Cold morning just do not inspire me to get outside. Hard to believe this is June. I did get the Cod (cals were 880 not 800) and I fit my day around it. I did notice overnight that ring finger was puffy, likely from salt. The odd thing is I found the dish tasted lacking in salt, and wished I had salted it (I did not add any). Ironic that it can taste that way, yet clearing be high salt.
6/20 (Mass) – 125.8 (Renpho 125.6) So definitely not proud of how this round went. Exercise has fallen apart, I am barely doing any and the leftovers related to entertaining triggered relapsing bad behaviors. I did not track yesterday, again. I have now only skipped tracking two days since Jan 1, and they were both this week, Saturday and Monday. Heading upstairs and get myself to do some Fitness+. I want to do morning walks, but this June has had chilly mornings that do not inspire me to get out. Later in the day, I find there are too many other obligations to fit in. Posting and then heading upstairs. BUT, the good news is that I am in that maintenance range that I am trying for 124 – 126, even if it is on the higher end. Today will be a good day.

6/11 - missed
6/12 - 168.2
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 🥧.
6/14-169 ( early morning weight check. Hoping it keeps me on track for rest of the day)
6/15 - 169.2
6/16 -168.4
6/17 - 169 - so bloated. Ate bad yesterday and it’s reflecting today morning.
6/18 -169.8 - Early Father’s Day dinner last night. Indulged in yummy Cheesecakes😳😳. Scale is reflecting it in morning.
6/19 - 168 - went for exercise at F45 and pool later.
6/20- 168.8 - didn’t do any workout yesterday. Ate mostly healthy though. Next challenge will keep an eye on protein intake as well.
Thanks for good round everyone. See you at next one tomorrow!!5 -

6/16: away for the weekend. 226 according to my friends scale. Not sure if I can trust that but I like the sounds of it!
6/17: away for the weekend. 227.2 on the friends scale.
6/18: away for the weekend. 226.2
6/19: 18 hr fast. 227.8
6/20: 21 hr fast. 229.8. Well this round didn't go as planned but I'm not discouraged yet. I was hoping to see some progress of course but I have a gut feeling that is water retention masking loss because I've had easy too much sodium and carbs the last few days. Gonna tighten that up in the next round and add in my beginner's workout videos.6 -

6/20 - 154.9 - Yesterday was madness. I went over calories by 500-ish. Dinner was pasta and cheese (I did, however, remember my lactose pills). Pre-TOM bloat is around but I'm also dealing with cramps because I'm dehydrated. I drank 90oz water and still am dehydrated so it's taking longer than usual to recover - likely due to TOM as I always feel slightly dehydrated during this time anyway and I'm starting off in a bad way. I'm still hanging on, though. I'm hoping in the next 24-48 hours TOM will hit and I'll drop off some bloat. I'm pushing water to help banish the dehydration as well. I know it takes time, but I'm ready to feel normal again haha! BigBro went and bought a car last night because his finally gave out over the weekend. We'll pick it up and drop it off at his work this afternoon as I had to drive him in today while they get everything situated (they finished up at 630pm so had to wait on banks to reopen this morning I'm sure). Starting tomorrow I have my mornings to myself to work out again, whew! I do, however, have to take the dog to be dropped off at the vet for dental work tomorrow so I may just walk. Too hot to walk the pups after dinner (we're hitting historical highs here in my area) so morning is my only chance. They get so awfully upset if I go without them so evening walks are an iffy idea at best.
Previous Day's Comments6/11 - On our way to the beach now. Uptick because something I ate (guessing the brunch we had after the run as BF also complained of stomach issues) didn't sit well. I've had abdominal cramps all night and morning. I'm a tad bloated from my body working to solve that issue, in assuming. On a happier note: I hit a PR on my 5k. My fastest (and only run entirely) 5k from before back injury and surgery was 37:11. Yesterday I ran 36:41! It may be slow compared to a lot of others but that's a HUGE deal for me. And now I have a time to beat in November. I'd like to be closer to 30min 5k in my life so I'll keep working on it though the summer and fall. Have a great week, everyone! I'll be back next Sunday or Monday 💜

6/19 - Not complaining. I'm dehydrated and retaining a lot of water for one. Secondly, I'm in the pre-TOM bloat phase and I'm quite puffy. Overall, though, I'm not terribly upset with the scale on my return. I know some of it will drop off with the bloat (both TOM and hydration) and the other was just me letting loose and enjoying. I didn't track food. In fact I was forcing myself to eat most of the time because I was so hot I lost my appetite. BF and Goddaughter got heat exhaustion and everyone else was so close to it that it was frightening. Our BnB was awful - the AC didn't work well so we couldn't even cool off at the house. Now I'm back to routine and hoping to see some progress. I won't by tomorrow, I'm sure, but I'm using today and tomorrow as a "practice" to get back into a healthy routine for next round!4 -

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.
6/17 - 184.6
I don’t get this. In spite of the banquet, I was barely (17 calories) over maintenance. Well, I’ll try to eat light today, and I’m off for a walk and then at least two hours of yard work. I’m very frustrated.
6/18 - 184
Okay, yesterday I was well below my calorie goal. I’ve come up with a potential solution to my nighttime munchies….I’ve been conscientiously drinking at least 2 cups of calcium-fortified unsweetened almond milk every day to fight off osteopenia, and rather than having it with meals, I’m going to drink it in the evening in place of other snacks. I did last night and it was very satisfying. Tonight I think I’ll put it in the blender with ice for a “milkshake.”
@quiltingjaine You’re right, I’m sure there was a time lag on my indulgences. Oh well. Maybe I can at least finish the round no higher than I started.
6/19 - 183.8
Not much, but at least it’s moving in the right direction.
6/20 - 186.6
Not a great round, but not a complete disaster. Onward.

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!!!
6/13 215.6 (+0.6/+2.0) ~
6/14 214.3 (-1.3/+0.7)
6/15 212.5 (-1.8/-1.1) ~ 🙂🙂🙂 Not to jinx it, but this is the lowest weight I've seen in 2023!
have two dining out events planned so it will be tough....
6/16 212.2 (-0.3/-1.4) ~ 🙂🙂🙂 Not sure what the weekend will bring.... fingers crossed. We have two dinning out events planned so it will be tough....
6/17 211 (-1.2/-2.6) ~🙂🙂🙂 hot damn! Tomorrow will be back up I'm sure as we did a little Father's day celebrating eating out for both breakfast and dinner. Tomorrow will include a 3 Mile walk. 3 more days to finish the round
6/18 211.6 (+0.6/-2.0) ~ Totally ok with a .6 gain with all that was consumed yesterday. Today will include a single meal out but should be within reason.
6/19 213.1 (+1.5/-0.5) ~ I'm still ok with this because I know most of it will be gone tomorrow and I'm still down 1/2 lb from the start of this round. Did have one meal out then had some caramel corn cheese corn mix... (yummy). I did get my walk in, today will be good.
6/20 214.7 (+1.6/+1.1) ~Well, not exactly where I wanted to end but....I'm learning more and more about my body and actually paying attention! The IF at 18:6 was working, but I saw an opportunity to do a "Power week" to "mix it up" which included a 20 hour fast and a 30 hour fast. I felt good about the 20 and succeeded. I was a little apprehensive about the 30 hours which was supposed to have ended this morning. I ended early last night and had dinner. I was only a little hungry but I didn't wasn't ready to sacrifice sleep due to hunger pains. I am also hanging on to water...probably due to all the "fun" I had this weekend. I drank over 90 oz of water yesterday but my trips to the bathroom were not frequent.... Today I will return to 18:6 and I expect results to follow. I've also started tracking my average weight for 7 days for comparison. It's actually a better indicator of what's really going on vs the day to day fluctuations. As always, looking forward to a new round!

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

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 226 (my 157th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round.
Goal this round is same as last; aim to get back under and stay under 139 and hopefully lose a pound. Really try 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.
