Round 226: 161.4 lbs (-1.1)
I don't usually set a weight as a goal for these challenges but this time I will make an exception - I will aim for the 150s by the end of this round. I will stay within my calorie limits and get at least 22 active minutes per day.
Round 227 SW: 161.4 lbs
6/21: 160.5 lbs
TOM arrived and I usually get a whoosh when it starts.
6/22: 159.8 lbs
I am still losing bloat from TOM. From past experience I usually bounce around a new low weight for a while before my trend weight catches up. My trend weight is currently 161.8 lbs.
6/23: 160.5 lbs
6/24: 159.8 lbs
6/25: 160.1 lbs (trend 161.2)
Bouncing around as I predicted. My trend weight is still heading down and is now 161.2 lbs.
6/26: 160.3 lbs (trend 160.9)
I think I will also start tracking my trend weight. I use the Android app Libra to calculate it and I think it is just a running average of the last 7 days. So if my weight pops up but my trend weight is down then I know I am still in the right track. It's going to be a stressful week at work this week so my goal will be to try not to comfort eat.

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. 😕
6/23 172 lbs
6/24 171
6/25 170 - Ran a little over 2 miles this morning. I was really tired but it felt good. I found some really good crusty Italian bread on Saturday. Went back for more and they were out. I'm pretty happy that I can eat bread and still lose. It's sugar that dampens my losses. I have an entire carton of cookie dough ice cream in the freezer that I have only touched twice and when I did, only had a small helping. The sugar cravings are gone! Could be the fiber supplements or the fact that my ibs is not in a full blown flare, or both!

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.

Round 227
Starting Weight- 147
Current weight- 142.1
10 Day Goal-I would love to see something in the 130s. Focus on my health not just my food intake.
Ultimate Goal Weight: Sub 130
6/21 142.1
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.
6/25 142.1 Lazy Sunday. Got some much needed rest. Remained under calories.
6/26 141.7 Remained under calories.

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.
6/26 140.4 – travelled almost 2 hours each way up to Sheffield to support DS in his first ever running event: a 20K timed staged race, power walked across city after watching him start to cheer him on halfway and then back to see him finish – those of you who know the city will also know how steep the hills are there, so half of those 8.72 miles walked were up steep & prolonged hills !! It was a challenge to get to both midway stage & then finish !! So proud of him finishing in 1 hour 50 and he had even more hills to run up than we walked!!
6/27 140.4 – 10.33 miles walked yesterday, food not good, I keep mindlessly eating ☹. Really need to stop this. Just had a reminder from travel company that our holiday to Menorca is in 75 days, if I don’t crack on I’ll be needing to purchase a bigger size in holiday clothes and I do not want to do that. So, 75 days, 7 and a half rounds at a pound per round should easily get me to where I want to be, only I can do it, I’ve done it before so I can do it again if I knuckle down otherwise before I know it I be up in the 150’s. Cuz that’s how weight just keeps creeping up on one !!! Day 1 starts today, food logged, not going to veer from that today!

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. 😊

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.
6/25 (maine) – 126.2 Ok, so posting later than usual this morning. I did weigh first thing, but wanted to get myself together before posting. Need to break my new habits, as yesterday was bad …. Again. Today, I weighed even though I did not want to. I got outside and walked/ran 6 miles in 78 minutes. I then used the mfp recipe builder to calculate the nutritional info on tonight’s recipes, and then tracked it. We’re entertaining tonight, and I am doing new recipes. Only after all that am I posting to you all. Today looks like a proper day! Yay!
6/26 (maine) – 126.4 Calories were good yesterday, and nice on exercise. I am guessing scale reflects the previous days of bad behavior.
6/27 (maine) – 124.6 Even though I started my day with leftover dessert (from the entertaining) for breakfast, I regrouped. We were then on the road all day and hubby needed lunch while driving, so it was fast food. Google quickly told me low cal options at McDonalds, so 4 pk of nuggets with hot mustard it was. Day ended with photography classes at Apple store to start learning how to better use our iphones. Dinner was in food court. Google to the rescue again. Chose panda express, medium entrée (no sides) of Kung Pow Chicken. Yes, MFP ended up having each of these foods to track, but sorting out selections was easiest through various websites on the internet. Glad to be getting back to normal AKA better behavior. Today is a rainy day movie…… don’t worry, I’ve got this one.

@SheilaBoneham Thank you so much! It was very weird putting it out there after so many years of making it and giving to family and friends. I'm a very private person so doing those things like creating a website, Instagram, Pinterest, and for the first time I joined Facebook, was something I had to get past.
I'm not comparing your writing to me making jewelry, but I'm sure you can relate to the part of putting yourself out there for the first time - especially the first time you were published! I'm sure it was so exciting though!
Oh, yes! I was always socially awkward — very bad at small talk, not great talking to strangers. When my first book came out and my publisher pushed me to give talks and book signings, I was terrified. Now I think of all the gigs as therapy of a sort — I’m much more comfortable with new-to-me people. It will get better — and your work is gorgeous, so be proud of yourself and what you make!7 -

6/27-163-I like beef more than my husband does so I keep a lot of cooked beef in the freezer for my lunches. Last night I barbecued a tri tip for me and halibut for him. I get to go fishing in Alaska with my dad next month and we are doing pretty good about reducing the amount of halibut in the freezer. We try to eat it once a week and we give it away too. I thought I could get skinny by eating fish ll year, but that is not true.7 -

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.

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!

Weird. I remember writing a post yesterday, but I can’t find it. I probably hit Done instead of post. Oh well! Happy Saturday!
6/25 - 185
Aaack! Salt and, let’s be honest, too much blankety blank food. I’m beginning to think I should go to bed at 9 p.m. before I start snacking! I’ll try to do better today, and tomorrow and tomorrow and… With all the yard work I’m doing, if I didn’t snack I’d be skinny by now. Sigh.

Not a great number, but better than yesterday! I’m making a tomato galette with feta and olives for dinner (DH’s request) — yummy, and if I skip most of the crust, not bad on calories.
6/27 - 183
Oh, good! At least there’s that! I could not get to sleep last night — kept thinking about my upcoming cataract surgeries and, on a more pleasant note, the book I’m working on and knitting projects. I finally nodded off around 6, up at 7. I feel really woozy and faintly headachy. I was planning a garden work day, but between the way I feel and the air quality alert, I think not. I stepped outside a while ago and it’s foggy with a distinct smell of smoke as the fog grabs onto the wildfire smoke. Not nice at all. I’ll have to walk the pup at some point, but it will be a short walk. Then I think I’ll go back to bed.

I did so well with food until the very end of the night when I felt the need to absorb some of the alcohol I consumed🫤 oh well!

~ It was my day off yesterday and I did a little hosting by the pool side with my mom and aunt. 🥰 We’ve recently just finished constructing our new pool and so I’ve been using that and the hot tub any chance I can. I didn’t eat terribly but we had some drinks and I didn’t work out.. not really. I guess I can still give myself credit for tracking food yesterday ! - Wed 06/21💚171lbs; -.8lbs
~ I’m going to attempt to track my food today. I hesitate to say “I will” because I’m not sure if it’ll drudge up old negative feelings when I was doing it religiously and slowly getting out of control with eating and eventually quitting all together.
But just for today…I will! - SW: 171.8

6/27 - 154.8 - Stupid sodium... Dinner was spaghetti with homemade garlic bread. Garlic salt on the noodles. Garlic salt in the meat. Sodium in the canned sauce. Garlic salt on the bread. And I've already ranted enough about garlic salt here and the bloating it causes me. I was over about 150 calories yesterday due to the carb overload for dinner so still in deficit but not ideal. Hoping today is better. It's Taco Tuesday, though, and we had burritos Sunday so I'm guessing today is one of the heavier meals on rotation. I'll pre-log enchiladas (the most calorie dense) and adjust from there. I ran with both dogs this morning. A short 1.14 miles to the stop sign and back as I don't ever run with both dogs (they're a handful together) and I don't want to go on the main roads with them just yet. I always hated running but it felt good to get back to it today. Might I be turning into a runner?! Kettlebell workout (via Nerd Fitness Journey) and a walk with the dogs is scheduled for tomorrow. Plenty of water today to flush the sodium bloat and re-hydrate. Heat warnings are kicking my behind and I usually love the heat!

Previous Day's Comments6/21 - 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!
6/23 - 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.

6/26 - Busy busy busy weekend, barely had time to journal and no time to hop on my computer to check in here. Lots of manual labor in triple-digit temperatures. I'm worn out. I did manage to take a very nice walk with the pups this morning, though, despite being so tired. Hopefully I'll be good by tomorrow as I plan to run. Also planning a run on Thursday. I'll walk the dogs Wednesday and Friday in the mornings and work on body weight strength or bike/rower to start rebuilding my workout routine. I have leftover ground beef and refried beans from dinner last night (burritos) so I'll try to make up something with that for lunch with a side of frozen veg. Otherwise, I'm unsure of all other meals. Will try to stay active and moving through the day to hit 10k steps and meet calorie goal.
