Day/Weight/Comment
06/20 …..196.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

06/21 -196.6- (Trend weight 196.2) I Stayed the course yesterday. Ankles feel so tight without the waterpills. I can feel fluid retention that I can’t do much about. I’ll try pushing water today again. I had my truck repair appointment out-of-town at the dealership wrong. It wasn’t Monday, it is tomorrow. Luckily my daughter has her head on straight and we didn’t go. LOL. Today I take my teen grandson’s for their haircuts at my salon. Lunch afterwards. Since I’ll be out of town tomorrow for that 7 hour repair and 3 hour total drive, I’ll skip lunch today and just watch them eat. Good luck everyone this round.

06/22 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) I traveled today for the truck repairs. I hit the coffee hard before I remembered to weigh and didn’t have any time to post before travel. It’s been a long day. Tomorrow’s scale will likely be a morale zapper as it is usually up after travel. I may skip weighing and just check in as I’ve found that looking doesn’t change anything. It may even make it worse. So we will see.

Heaviest weight: 188 lbs December 2022
Current Weight: 170 lbs
Ultimate Goal weight: 145 lbs

SW Round 227
6/21 170 lbs. ~Took two of my young children for a walk today, burned a few calories. Came back and did my "just run" app, today was 20 minutes total of running with a 3 minute break between. Ran 5.5 mph for the first 10, 5 mph for the second. I was pushing hard! Resisted the desire to snack (the pirouline cookies were staring me down) Happy with myself!
6/22 170 lbs ~ Felt defeated today. 😕 Woke right up when my alarm went off at 6:15 am, got my strength training done, felt great! Got my shower in, ate breakfast. Got the family ready to go (including the dog) and headed off to our store. Then I went and donated blood, this was my 6th donation. I was fine until the phlebotomist couldn't find my vein (this never happens) and I got really lightheaded and may have passed out. So, I couldn't donate, I was so upset with myself. Had to eat a bunch of snacks so needless to say, I didn't stay within my calories. 😕

Round 227
June 21 – June 30, 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
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. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing 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

6/21 (mass) – 124.8 (Renpho 124.6) Back to middle of my range, which is good. Kitties had their wt checks this morning and chubby cat is up and skinny cat is down. Wrong direction for each of them. I did get on the IC4 yesterday. Only 30 minutes, BUT I got on it. I have to remember that I have these options in the house and need to take advantage of them. Today is time again with my parents. Medical runs with my father. Tomorrow is also my parents. Legal runs with them both.

6/22 (mass) – 124.4 (Renpho 124.4) Good new. Tracking good yesterday. Pathetic 15 minutes on the IC4, but that is more than zero exercise that today may bring. Today is picking up my parents, long drive to lawyer. Let them address their needs. Get them home. Return to my condo and pack and clean to go to maine. Walk the cats, then drive a half hour to my daughter’s for a family celebration of my MIL’s 84 birthday. Head back to the condo again. Finish packing and loading car. Drive to maine, unpack and settle in. Nothing bad in it, just busy-ness.

6/23 (maine) – 123.6 Wishing I had brought the Renpho travel scale with me to cross check. Number seems too low to be logical. Yesterday had been a wild day, small breakfast, then after dropping home my parents (which included medical drama to, from and during the legal meeting) I snagged one of their chocolate bars for lunch. Getting home, I saw the now hard remains of the melted chocolate from cooking for the birthday party. I proceeded to eat all that. Then had Chinese food at the party (controlled but not tracked), and then triffle, which was unfortunately two small servings. No exercise yesterday. Ironically, I was starving at 10 PM last night. Anyhow, the numbers will shake out and show the reality with time. Good or bad. Note: the only other time I have seen "surprise" 123.X numbers were on my scale in maine as well.

6/21 140.8 (trend 142.3) Glad to see yesterday's new low weight is sticking around more or less. I've set my goal this round to maintain, but in reality I'll be glad if my trend weight doesn't go up. Didn't leave the house yesterday as I was packing and organising all day, plus, as musicsax mentioned, we had torrential rain for a large part of the day. Eating was ok, although there was a bit of stress-snacking going on, but I stayed below, just! Woke up relieved to see my fake tan hadn't been a disaster, phew! I'm a notorious over-packer and am now trying to decide whether I can fit the iron into my suitcase or if I can bear spending the next 9 days a crumply mess...
Having pizza tonight at a local restaurant, as it's the only place that will still be open when we get to the apartment, so I'll eat light today to allow for it. Old me would be looking forward to some fast food at the airport but I'm going to be good and bring a small snack instead.
Yesterday was no walk or gym, calories good, alcohol free.
STEPS 5,001

6/22 DNW The pizza last night has left me very bloated and dehydrated today.
The flight was delayed so we ended up eating at 11.30pm which meant sleep was not great.
STEPS 9,500

6/23 DNW We cycled to the fish market and bought prawns, clams and monkfish, then to the fruit and veg market and bought loads of stuff, the veggies here are massive! It was a good chance to practice my Portuguese. I made arroz de marisco, which is similar to paella, very tasty! I've never cleaned prawns or cooked clams before, so it was good to learn a new skill. In the evening we cycled to the beach and played frisbee, then to the marina for a few drinks. Lots of wine so a bit of a sore head today.
Steps were low as I was on the bike most of the day.

Round 227
6/21 217.2. Thus continues the mysterious weight gain. I looked leaner in the mirror at yoga today, so pffft to the scale. Today is Summer Solstice & I had planned a 21 day fast. I think I have talked myself out of it since I am going through enough although it might be a good time to control something in my life. I guess I will see tomorrow lol
6/22 216.2. I decided not to fast. I feel it would add too much additional stress at this time. While I am not eating my feelings, I do need sleep & I also need to exercise. The days that I exercise I feel the fog lifting so I need to keep at it. Yesterday I took a 1hr sunrise walk & did 45 minutes of sun salutations before my 1 hour yoga class. It was supposed to be an easy Yin class, but it was not. I am sore today but will enjoy my morning walk & yoga.

6/23 215.8. I know a whoosh will happen any minute. My skin is lumpy in areas that I carry fat. I just have to be patient & resist the urge to go off track. My emotional brain is telling me to be kind to myself, splurge, indulge in comfort food, do some pampering. I know my ultimate goal is to lose weight & wear a size 6/8 again. I have lost my sense of urgency & I won’t punish myself & cancel my February cruise, but I am going to eat healthy & indulge in hot yoga & other forms of self care that will improve the way I feel more than any treat food will.

6/21 - 154.5
6/22 - 153.8
6/23 - 154.7 - I overate at dinner and was nearly 200 calories over goal which put me about maintenance. I had completely forgotten to log the rice portion of dinner until after dinner (I almost forgot to make the rice, too!). By the time I was done cleaning the kitchen after, I felt so heavy and my stomach was starting to hurt. I knew I should've slowed down eating and as I finished the last few bites, I KNEW I shouldn't still be eating. But I told myself it's only a couple more bites, I might as well finish. And this is the mindset that got me where I am now. I need to fix that quickly. I'm recognizing it and calling it out to you lovelies to keep myself accountable. I can't change the past, but I can start now to help change the future into something I'm happy about. On a happier note, I got a nice walk in with the pups this morning and it wasn't too terribly hot. I need to start running but I feel awful that my only time to run (I can't run for at least 3-4 hours after last eating without getting sick so morning before food is about it for me) is currently the only time it is cool enough to walk the pups. I may have to alternate - if I run Mon-Wed-Fri, walk them Tues-Thurs or vice versa and add in some indoor work like rowing or spinning. I'll brainstorm this weekend.

Previous Day's Comments

6/21 - Some bloat has been banished. Still no TOM so likely not the hormonal bloat that has been banished. At least that means my efforts to re-hydrate are not in vain! I did splurge on a couple mojitos yesterday before realizing just how many calories/sugar are in them! Oof. I'll stick to vodka+soda+lime wedge from now on if I decide to drink (or wine with dinner). Not sure today's dinner but it's something related to chicken as that's out to thaw haha I'm likely to repeat yesterday's lunch with the last of the leftover chicken from Sunday mixed with some frozen steamable veggies from the deep freeze I found. I'm feeling pretty good about hitting all my habit goals today, I hope everyone else feels just as good about theirs!
6/22 - TOM dropped some bloat but the garlic salt from dinner last night has me feeling more bloated than I was before! Hopefully it'll drop off here soon. Got a walk with the pups this morning before it got awful hot. Been moving quite a bit all morning between work, running a grocery errand for dinner and prepping dinner (marinating chicken). Luckily it's a fairly slow day for work. Unsure if Thirsty Thursday is happening but I hope not. I have no room in my calorie budget for anything else and I don't want the temptation. It's so easy to mindless snack on whatever people have ordered for the table. SD is sick so I made us both an herbal tea to help fight whatever it is off. FamWife started feeling it the last couple days of vacation and SD was the unlucky one to get it. Hopefully I can avoid it!

Thank you all for being back for another round to share the accountability! This month has not been stellar for me. I've been maintaining in a 165-167 range for a few weeks now...which I suppose is better than it heading all up...but my goal is to maintain at about 20lbs lighter than this. So much life going on and not much routine which really messes me up. I would like to get consistently into the 164s this round to show some progress.

Female - 51yrs - 5'5"
Goal weight - to hang out somewhere 145-150
R226 End Weight 6/20 - 166.6 - which was a 1lb gain for the round

6/21 - 165.8 - yesterday we did our dog walk down by the lake where it was cooler, got in a good 5k towards our challenge goal for the Canadian Cancer Society...we're at 45/50km for the month so we should meet our goal by the end of the week...if not tomorrow. I'd like to hit 55km though as I raised $550 so 1km for every $10 sounds like a reasonable target. It's a hot one today and I didn't get an early start to say the least so it will be a shorter walk on the shady side of the street.

6/22 - 166.0 - Sigh.....walked a lot yesterday but didn't manage the calorie intake very well. Boys had their school athletic banquet last night so hubby and I walked to a local spot for dinner...I had the rice noodle special (the owner and chef of this place is from the Philippines and her noodles are so good) so I'm feeling some sodium bloat today.
6/23 - 166.8 - wrong direction. I really need to get things back on track. I have been so lazy with tracking and logging calories and I'm not making healthy choices. I think the only thing that's keeping the scale numbers from being even higher is that I'm maintaining a pretty robust activity level.

• In Maintenance since July 2019
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal range

Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessary.
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
May focus:

* maintain weight < 140 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
* Maintain Daily Solid Habits

I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!
