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. 😕

Just joining the group and finishing out the month. Trying hard to stop the Yo-Yoing in my life and get to a healthy weight 5% at a time.

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.
6/24 (maine) – 125.0 Yup, scale works fine. :P Diet was great yesterday, and then it wasn’t. Simple, straightforward binge behavior. BUT I did track it all. Was over my target (which is still technically below maintenance) by 1400 calories. Lots and Lots of carbs. Going to pretrack today. Hopefully, I will also convince myself to do exercise. Lately, it is raining like 5 or 6 out of 7 days. This is NOT normal for here and nor normal temps for this time of year. It’s becoming and excuse. Not good.

6/20:
So, I am back with you after a brief hiatus. I hope you will take me back, even though for today I will break one of my goals and whine a bit.
Begin whine…These last three months have been less than stellar:
Both of my parents have had hospitalizations due to heart problems; one heart attack and one pacemaker installed. Car and keys have been taken away. They are back home but DW and I are now the chauffeurs to their multitude of appointments. Did I mention we moved them to another apartment while dad was in the nursing home getting rehab? I have put the Power of Attorney hat on.
As for my health, I am dealing with lymphedema in my left ankle (and some other places), likely due to lymph system interruption from my prostate cancer surgery in February. I suppose this affects my overall weight too. The good news is that the follow up after the surgery is showing that it was as successful as it could be.
So, I need to be back here to give me some motivation to take care of myself. I don’t like the way I feel right now… end whine.

/food logged; lots of functional movement, but no exercise per se/ amazing how food logging will deter some (but not all) hand to mouth mishaps and snaccidents.
Yesterday morning I took 2 pork shoulders off the smoker that had been cooking all night. Pulled and parsed it for sharing and storing for future use. The in-process quality assurance sampling amounted to my lunch.
Next two nights at a friend’s lake house. Could be dangerous. Won’t be able to weigh, but I can log.

Last two or three days proved to be dangerous indeed. Back home now.
I did have fun with friends and fam and got a little fishing done. Part of the fun was hooking myself through the skin of my ring finger knuckle. Hook went in and reemerged a half inch away. Quite a sight. Had to have my brother-in-law cut the barb off with wire cutters so I could back it out. I still love fishing. 😊

I’m making some progress against the encroahments with my 3-hour weed & grass pulling workouts. Whew! I make it all bearable by thinking of the calories burning and muscles building. 😁 It does make me hungry, but I’m mostly sticking to the plan. All good.
6/22 - 183.6
Other than a piece of apple pie a friend brought over, yesterday was perfect. I did lots of yard work and even blocked a lace wrap I finished knitting a few months ago (pic below — color doesn’t show well, but it’s a dark brownish purple). I’m planning a workout this morning of moving a few plants that are in the wrong spots and not thriving. It’s not supposed to be so hot today, so that’s a relief. 90F yesterday, but forecast high today is 74. Sounds good! Enjoy your day, all!

Went to water at the (82 year old) neighbors because the night before there was a fire in a building at her 3 acre park where she holds a fundraiser in August. The power was cut off and the water was too. I realized that all of the flowers she has been planting needed a drink. So, I filled my large storage containers with water and took a 5 gallon bucket and my watering can and got everything watered in an hour. That hauling 5 gallon buckets of water was a workout! Hopefully the water is restored today. I’m off to a quilting class.10 -

Lessons Learned for maintenance: 1) exercise at least 30 minutes five {5} days a week 2) try to walk no less than 10,000 steps a day 3) If/when my weight creeps up (116.5-117.0 LBS) increase the incline on the treadmill and add a burst of running to routine 4) eat a low-calorie salad before eating dinner 5) limit fried, breaded, and salty food 6) continue to add ice cubes to my daily 5 oz glass of wine 7) eat fish for dinner at least 2 times a week 8) eight to nine hours of sleep a night 9) Of the 64oz of water daily-drink 8oz of water a half hour before each meal 10) three (3) meals a day and 1-2 small snacks, nothing after dinner.
Average weight recorded for 2022- 130 LBS

06/24-114.9 (it would be nice to stay in the 114+ range for the next six months and see how that fits me. But not putting any added pressure on myself, just staying with the 10-point maintenance plan I have become comfortable with. )

@_JeffreyD_ One day, I went to pick my son up from my moms and she said they had fun fishing but she was on her way to get the hook removed from her head…..my son had hooked her. A few years later, my husband hooked our son in the head. Crazy.2

169 / 168 / 167 / 166 / 165 / 164 / 163 / 162 / 161 / 160 👉 159
Stick to Plan:
- Calorie cycle for a weekly average of 1200 to 1500 (with a maintenace day thrown in every now and then.
- Exercise: Row, Bike, Weights, Dance, Jazzercise, Kayak, Hike Figure out this new reality of no exertion for 6 months per doctor's orders. Ugh!! (Doctor cleared me to walk 20 mins a day, so happy about that!)
- Water: Shoot for 80oz per day
- Binge-Free & Sugar-Free for 100 days
- Reduce added salt
- Lots of veggies and protein, some fruit (very little processed foods or simple carbs which I hardly ever have)
- I need to figure out a way to get more fiber, especially from grains.
If I quit now, I will soon be back to where I started. And when I started, I so desperately wanted to be where I am now.
Last time I weighed was 6/19: 167.8
Round 226
6/24 - DNW I haven't been weighing much but can tell that my weight is creeping up by the way my clothes feel. I have to get a handle on this today!
Leaving these here for a few rounds as a reminder that I can do it!

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 227 (my 158th).
6/24 139.8 – at last back below 140! 11.69 miles yesterday, some of which were ‘dancing miles’ ! Only sat 2 dances out between 8 & 10pm, admittedly some were quite slow (rumba, waltz), but many others very quick (jive, quickstep, cha cha cha, samba). 60% exercise calories eaten back & all macros in green.
Hi @musicsax I wondered what type of dancing you did - now I see - WOW! It must be a blast!! All the walking you do then dancing too - you must be in excellent shape!6 -

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

SW Round 227 127.5
6/21 128.0
6/22 129.0 I forgot there was going to be community bingo last night. The “meal” was fried chicken, sweet coleslaw (🤮) and cookies.
6/23 129.0 Fasted 21.5 hours yesterday. Doing that again today but eating earlier to try to get back on MY schedule. Tomorrow is DGGS’s first birthday party - he’ll be 1 on Sunday. Time sure does fly!
6/24 128.5 I made some fat bombs last night so I can have a “splurge” now and then or satisfy that “I want something but don’t know what” evenings. “greenandketo” has lots of recipes. My total carbs were 8g and I was below my fat macro.6 -

SW: 229.4. CW: 223.4 (-6.0)
RGW: < 224?

Goals are 18 hr fasts with one 24 fast per week. Lower my carb intake and limit alcohol to a few glasses on the weekend. Start some light exercise.

Round 227
6/21 - 225.2. (-4.2) Ok so a little patience paid off and I did get a woosh overnight! Down 4lbs and mostly made my Round goal!!
6/22 - 224 (-1.2). 18 hr fast. The woosh continues!! I have a silly very unscientific theory that if I keep my diet clean and don't drink any alcohol, I can keep this downward trend going for a bit before it starts bouncing around. Gonna see what happens this round. I think I need to set a new round goal though. 😊
6/23 - 223.6 (-0.4) 18.5 hr fast. The science experiment continues! I finally got motivated to do the first video of the beginner program in Beachbody. It felt a little too easy honestly but it's getting moving so I'm going to count that a win. Also hit 8000 steps again yesterday. Trying to focus on moving more.
6/24 - 223.4 (-0.2) 18 hr fast. I was hungry near the end of this fast but I managed to keep to my goal to load up on protein during my window. I did have a few nachos at dinner and some take out so I think higher sodium than normal. But I avoided late night snacking which is my downfall. Didn't get to my workout but going to try to do them over the weekend.

Had a cast party for my kids theater production and ate far too much so I'm happy with what the scale said. I went on a long walk, missed my vitamins and meds though, not sure how I managed that and definitely need to do a better job hydrating today

Started with a morning run yesterday and stayed under my calories with no after dinner snacking. Woohoo!

No idea what happened here! Feel pretty bloated this morning though. No workout yesterday. My ankle was bugging me. Slightly over my daily calorie intake but hopefully things rebound tomorrow in the right direction.

It wasn’t about fitting in everything/seeing all the sights: it was a slower time for me to do what I enjoy and to see family that I haven’t seen in almost 10 years.
I was about 115 the morning of my flight.
Today is 121, so bloated and gained 6 pounds, which I will get rid of, plus a few more for my August birthday goal.
Crossfit Farming!

Went to my boss’s funeral, my amazing boss of 16 years.
His wife’s eulogy reminded us all to go out there and enjoy life. That’s what I intend to do!

But not complaining, because I finally cracked the 65's after almost 3 weeks of being in the 66s. Went for a decent walk yesterday but other than that no workout. Body fat went up. Overall, considering my usual weekend eating habits, I'm very proud of myself for changing those habits and working towards a goal. I'm curious to see what happens this week. It's the bit of motivation i needed to keep going!🥳🎉8 -

6/22 141.9 Days are flying past me. I'm sure I have forgot to chart a coffee or tea here and there but still managing to get my major intake recorded. Staying under calories. Exercise is still just me running around sorting out life. Planning to meal prep tomorrow after groceries are delivered.
6/23 141.5 Walked the mall for about an hour while waiting on new lens for my glasses. Hadn't ate all day and grabbed junk for dinner before heading to bed.
6/24 142.4 Went out to eat for dinner and had to guess on calories. If I'm honest, I probably went over. I hate having to choose between losing weight and spending an evening out with my husband actually enjoying myself. It is not fun for either of us me sitting there miserable, stressing out, trying to guess calories. Sorry for being so negative.

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 227 (my 158th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round.
Goal this round is yet again the same as last; to get back under and stay under 139. 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.SW Round 227 140.4

6/21 140.4 – a successful food day yesterday, not quite in calories or macros due to heavy prolonged periods of rain during the times when I normally walk to and from work & home for lunch – had to use the car ☹. Now to make the 10 days count. DD taking me out for afternoon tea today as a belated birthday treat, going to enjoy it but NOT use it as a catalyst to start a binge.
6/22 140.6 – 10.1 mils walked. Kept to my word, enjoyed the day with DD, a delicious lunch and walking before and after, did not let that prompt a binge so excess calories restricted to a sensible limit!
6/23 141 – calories & macros over as no structured walking due to child minding little DGS.
6/24 139.8 – at last back below 140! 11.69 miles yesterday, some of which were ‘dancing miles’ ! Only sat 2 dances out between 8 & 10pm, admittedly some were quite slow (rumba, waltz), but many others very quick (jive, quickstep, cha cha cha, samba). 60% exercise calories eaten back & all macros in green.
6/25 141 – sigh! 11 miles walked yesterday & weeding, deadheading and general garden tirying for a good hour and a half, 75%exercise calories eaten back, 29g carbs over.

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.
