@_JeffreyD_ - you sound like my husband. We've been married nearly 40 years, I've been golfing with him twice.
@quiltingjaine - same issue in my home. I feel like I am always deciding what's for dinner. DH tells me it is because I am the one with the food limits... but he eats crap most of the time. He should have some food limits - LOL!1 -

06/27 -198.0- (Trend weight 197.1) I got hungry last night after closing my diary. I had to eat again but I could have made better non-lazy choices. I performed strength training day #2 with hand weights as I layed down with feet propped to help my ankles drain. I’m weaker than I thought but I did it. I know, in time, it will get easier.
06/28 -197.0- (Trend weight 197.1) I think I finally lost the water weight from the Pizza on Sunday. I’ve also been working on self-draining my ankles with feet up daily for at least 30 minutes. I seem to have shed a lot of water yesterday as reflected on the scale. It was day 3 of my 21 day mini-challenge to do some simple weight training with hand weights and bands. I’m working on my bat wings among other things. Air quality was horrid yesterday. I stayed inside mainly and kept the windows closed. It was difficult with no A/C but necessary.

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.
6/25 226.2 (+3.2) 19 hr fast. My science experiment is over. We were at a friend's place for lunch and I had a few drinks and just like that I've bounced up 3lbs. I know this is just a water thing but I good reminder that when I drink, the loss slows right down.
6/26 226.8 (+0.6) 18 hr fast. Still up. Hourly i can drop this before round end.
6/27 225.4 (-1.4) 16 hr fast. Had wine and ate some junk food but still dropping the water weight from the weekend so that's good.
6/28 - 227 (+1.6). 18 hr fast. I was supposed to start my fast at like 6:30 last night and instead at like 9 I started snacking. I was way too low on my daily calories (i think i had only eaten like 800 calories in my window) so that's on me for being silly and thinking i could sneak a low day in. I don't think i ate more than my calorie goal but there was a lot of sodium. Plus I had a deep tissue massage yesterday and today I'm really sore so I'm wondering if that causes any water retention? Anyone know? Anyhow. C'est la vie in the weight loss world to have the up and down and up and down.

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.
STEPS 6,918
6/24 DNW We visited Portimão and did a walking tour then stopped for lunch, I had tuna salad. Picked up a watermelon and some sacks of oranges for juicing from a roadside vendor. Back at the apartment we went for a swim, then an evening walk and cocktails. We finished off the rice from yesterday for dinner.
STEPS 10,361
6/25 DNW We drove to Tavira and did another walking tour. Lunch was cod and chickpea salad with egg, very high in protein! In the evening we went to a lovely restaurant between some cliffs, right on the ocean, it was idyllic. We shared grilled ocean perch and a bottle of wine, then back to the apartment for a game of cards and an early night.
STEPS 9,040
6/26 DNW We spent the day on the beach, we had planned to go to a water park but decided we wanted rest rather than adrenalin! Lots of swimming and cycling low on steps as it's too hot at 34° for doing much walking. We took tuna salad sandwiches and watermelon for a packed lunch. In the evening we walked along the marina and had dinner at a restaurant in a small square, I had grilled sardines with boiled veggies and white wine.
STEPS 5,635
6/27 DNW In the morning I cycled to the fish market and picked up a dourada fish, which I think is sea bream, and bought veggies and bread. OH was working all day so I pottered about and prepped dinner. We went for an evening bike ride to a nature reserve then back home had baked fish with garlic roasted potatoes, onions and green peppers, with steamed veggies. Steps are low again but I cycled for 2.5 hours.
STEPS 4,651
6/28 DNW OH was working in the morning so I picked up some supplies for a packed lunch and made salted cod and chickpea pasta salad, which we took to Marinha beach with half a cantaloupe melon each and some cherries. Lots of swimming and sunbathing. After the beach we visited Albufeira and had a stroll about, looking at all the touristy stuff. Back home in Vilamoura, we went out for a late dinner at a tennis club and had pizza and sangria.

@quiltingjaine - same issue in my home. I feel like I am always deciding what's for dinner. DH tells me it is because I am the one with the food limits... but he eats crap most of the time. He should have some food limits - LOL![/quote]
I always decide on dinner too, if I ask DH what we should have he always says "what do you fancy ?" !!!!!!!!!!!!!2 -

I haven’t decided if I will meet my bio father. I will ask him if he is interested in meeting me but the siblings are very excited. I find that I look like hell. I don’t know if it is depression or shock or all in my head, but hopefully that improves in the next little bit.
@lisapower123 maybe a spa day is in order? fresh haircut, and such. Might come out feeling and looking refreshed.
@SModa61 i have been doing a lot of self care & a new hair cut happened right before the discovery. I have been thinking about a massage, but maybe a facial would help more. I think it is mostly because I lost some eyelashes, which happens to me during big emotional periods. I am feeling better today so hopefully that trend continues!
@quiltingjaine same issue in our house with my husband. I stopped cooking & just prep ingredients now so everyone can make their own food when they feel like eating. It has made my life easier.
@SheilaBoneham air quality is dangerous here too! I saw my older neighbours out walking their dogs with a mask on but what about the dogs? Can’t be good for them either!5 -

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.

6/28 216.2 I am basically maintaining this whole round, but that’s ok, it shows I am not using food or wine to mask & cope. I feel today that I am crawling out of the shock. I am happy about that, I popped into work to grab stuff to work at home after hot yoga. Life will get back to normal. I am glad I have the luxury & that I am taking the time to do the work needed to heal.

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.
6/27: 158.7 lbs (trend 160.7)
Stressing the pounds away is probably not healthy but at least I am not comfort eating so far.
6/28: 158.5 lbs (trend 160.5)

6/21: DNW
6/22: 121.0 ⬆️Had the best time on my vacation/visit family trip.
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.
6/23 – 118.8 ⬇️ debloated 2.2#
Crossfit Farming!
6/24 – 118.0 ⬇️
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!
6/25 – 115.0 ⬇️
So I “lost” the 6# that I “gained” on my vacation (eating a lot of carbs/noodles/bread). My body is THIS sensitive to carbs.
Now that clothes are fitting better, I need to incorporate more weight training to manage all the flab.
But it’s been SOOOOOO humid here that all I want to do is sit in front of an air conditioner (I hate heat and stickiness).
6/26 – 115.4 ⬆️
Getting back to it!
After 4.5 months of daily movement, I took a few days off.
But I'm coming back, baby!
Need to increase the Hip Thrust weight next time!!
6/27 – 114.6 ⬇️
This is about the weight I like being at for my build/height.
I don’t know how realistic I can be about losing another 5# AND maintaining that.
BUT I would like to see how I’ll be when I get there (haven’t been lower than 112# (in 2020) since hitting puberty)
6/28 – 114.8 ⬆️
I’ve got to stop eating peanuts and cashews. They’re so calorie-dense food that use up so much of my calories for the day.
There are so much food that I just want to eat; I’m not hungry though.

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!
6/28 139.8 – 10.88 miles walked, 20% exercise calories eaten back. Feeling better with myself, need to keep this going!
6/29 139.2 - No structured walking, very busy day; supermarket shopping, met DSs (3) at a garden centre and had lunch there. Very disappointed with menu, not much lower calorie, lowest was honey roast ham baguette with a side salad, I opted for no coleslaw and extra salad (530 calories in total). We all went on to donate blood, but two of us had too low iron to donate!! We had both been taking daily iron supplements for a couple of weeks beforehand ☹. Planted out all my purchases before preparing dinner. Was 268 calories & 88 carbs over, but more importantly didn’t go off plan.

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.
