Happy ๐ Canada ๐จ๐ฆ Day to the Canadians on here. Although I was born in the States, I am proud to be Canadian by parentage, and all my sibs were born in Alberta. I canโt believe itโs July already. The yearโs half gone! July is โeye monthโ for me, with cataract surgeries this Monday & the next one, and then a string of follow up appointments. Not my idea of summer fun, but everyone assures me Iโll be glad I did it. Iโm trying not to think much about it! Nervous. But I donโt seem to be channeling that into food, so thereโs that. Now to keep it that way!
7/02 - 183.2
Yep. I ate a lot yesterday, including two pieces of cake. Yikes! I some of this is obviously water โ canโt gain half a pound of fat in one day. I feel like that got the urge out of my system and today will be more controlled, although Iโm quite nervous about tomorrow. Anyway, itโs love out right now, and our air quality is, for now, back to good. Have a happy Sunday!

Hi Everyone โ Looking forward to another challenge, my 4th.
Female, 5โ4โ, 57 years of age
HW: 210 (May, 2022)
CW: 149.2
GW: still donโt knowโฆ hope Iโll know it when I see it in the mirrorโฆ chasing a โhealthyโ BMI first
Goals: Continue working on same goals from previous round because it seems to have worked!
Cardio: 8/10 days (only days I struggle with this are Sunday and Wednesday due to lack of time)
Bodyweight Train: 3/10 days <- The biggest struggle of mine currently. Really need to do this!
Logging Food: 10/10 days (using a food scale every time!)
SW Round 228: 149.2
7/1: 148.6 - bouncing around that 148* - truly hope it sticks this week. Did my early morning 60-minute Zumba class this morning and just finished meal planning and writing my grocery list for the next several days. I am off from work for the next 4 days... I feel so decadent! Had to buy a couple new sports bras this morning as I am shrinking I've also notice my sandal straps around the ankles are looser... need DH to punch some new holes for me.
7/2: 149.6 - and I continue to bounce. All good here. Was supposed to have the family over for lunch and game day, but oldest DS is sick, so we're going to attempt to do this on Tuesday instead. On the bright side, that means I can do my workout early instead of trying to do it late and being too tired to get it in. Looked in my closet to see what I can fit into... I have a dress that I've had for a couple of years where the material and the cut just hug the body. A few weeks ago, it still did not look all that great on me even though I have already lost around 60 pounds, but this morning, it is almost passable. I'll try it on again in a few weeks... hope springs eternal.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Donโt stay away, stay accountable. We donโt 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 isnโt sustainable. Iโve been doing it for over 6 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. Itโs a LIFESTYLE.

07/01 -197.8- (Trend weight 197.4) Just like @LisaPower123 said, โItโs a new day, new month and a new Challengeโ. So, heck ya, letโs do this! Good luck everyone this round.
07/02 -197.6- (Trend weight 197.5) I celebrated my sonโs 27th birthday yesterday with dinner out and a very special dessert. It was nice. I gave him a few small gifts but the big one comes next month when he goes to WWE Summerslam Wrestling down in Detroit in August. An expensive trip since each ticket was $315.00 each and lots of extra expenses on top of it. But itโs a dream come true for him. His autism keeps him fixated on certain things and pro wrestling is one of them. Summerslam has not been in Detroit in 17 years so this is a rare treat. Heโs very excited. My Scale weight is s..l..o..w..l..y trickling down this last couple of days but the trend weight is inching up each day. I say, โOh, Ye of Little Faithโ to my trendweight app.

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.

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 228 (my 159th). 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. Holiday to Menorca is in 72 days, if I donโt crack on Iโll be needing to purchase a bigger size in holiday clothes and I do not want to do that. So, 72 days, 7 rounds at a pound per round should easily get me to where I want to be, only I can do it, Iโve done it before so I can do it again if I knuckle down otherwise before I know it I be up in the 150โs. Cuz thatโs how weight just keeps creeping up on one !!! 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, itโs 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.

7/1 โ 137 lbs - Down -- lbs this round and 2 lbs to goal; /228 miles for July.
7/2 โ 136.2 lbs - Down 0.8 lbs this round and 1.2 lbs to goal; 10.76/228 miles for July. Well, my weight is coming down again. Maybe this is what maintenance looks like? I am charting a bunch of things in Excel so I can easily look at any correlations between mood, energy, hunger, weight, calories, menstrual cycle, etc. So far I am finding it helpful to be able to easily compare those numbers. I have noticed that my mood goes a bit low every time I weigh myself and the number has increased, so that is something to keep an eye on. I feel like my hunger has been pretty low in the last several days, and my calories are definitely not excessive (except for the one day we went out for Greek food). I wonder if this is the calorie range and exercise level Iโll have to maintain if I want to maintain this weight. My mood was excellent yesterday! I got to go visit a niece of mine who I rarely see. It was so nice to see her and her partner. Plus I got 10 miles of steps in. Had a nice long walk in the morning with the dog and hubby. I also tried a new recipe for breakfast- some kind of Greek yogurt pancakes with strawberries. It was pretty good. So overall it was just a really lovely day. I wonder if that Cipralex is kicking in. Lol. Hope so.
7/3 - 136.6 lbs - Down 0.4 lbs this round and 1.6 lbs to goal; 16.76/228 miles for July. We went to my MIL for lunch yesterday, which involved a long drive back and forth. I didnโt make my exercise goals and my calories went off the rails โ I didnโt track and there was McDonaldโs on the way home. The scale is only up a bit today, but I am sure it will be up even higher tomorrow. I will try to stay on the straight and narrow today, but we are having my niece and her fiancรฉ over for dinner, so we shall see what happens (they wanted to order Chinese). This is a different niece from the other day, btw. Lol. We are doing a lot of visiting, as hubby is rarely home this long for socializing. I had all last week off with him, which was amazing. This week I have to work Tues/Weds only, and then I go back on the 10th. Hubby probably will go back on the 17th. It is just great having him home. This Saturday I am hosting a kayaking/picnic for 9 of my family members, to celebrate my 1 year of sobriety (which is officially July 28th). I wanted to celebrate and didnโt want to do something that was sitting around and drinking. (IE, have everyone for dinner, or whatever.) So I came up with renting kayaks. Everyone was on board with that! So I have officially turned myself from a โparty girlโ to a โsporty girlโ! Haha! It sounds silly but it really turned out to be quite an effective mind trick โ thinking to myself, โWhat would a sporty girl do?โ I do not miss drinking at all anymore, and I am so glad I donโt still have cravings, etc. It is difficult to feel my stupid feelings, but I guess it is better than being drunk every day. Plus, I am down 56.6 lbs since July 3, 2022, so I think overall it has helped me with my weight loss goals. Certainly I am killing it in the walking department, which I was not doing when I was drinking heavily. So I am proud of how far I have come. ๐ I was saying to hubby the other day that is surprising that I have not thrown in the towel and just started bingeing, this time, like I have always done every other time I have lost 30, 40, 50, 100 lbs. Always, no matter how long I restricted, I ended up going back to bingeing eventually and gained everything back and sometimes more. The difference is that this time I am not so hard on myself when I slip up or eat something that wasnโt on plan or go out for dinner or skip a day of exercise or whatever. I am wayyyy more gentle with myself, and forgiving, and I donโt beat myself up over it, like I would have in the past. Also I am being way more patient with the rate of loss โ normally I would get so angry if I wasnโt losing โfast enoughโ, and eventually I would lose hope and just go back to over-eating (instead of restricting way too hard). So I have learned some self-kindness and some patience, at the old age of 53! Which makes me hopeful that maybe this time I will be able to maintain some kind of healthy weight, whatever that may turn out to be. I have not had hope of maintaining any amount of weight loss inโฆ well, never, actually. So even though I ate too much when we went to McDonaldโs last night, I am not too worried about it. I know my weight will bounce up, but I know we are on vacation, it is a long weekend, we were on the road and wanted something quick, and I was too hungry to wait the 2 hours till we got home, so Iโm totally fine with it. I mean, I could have skipped the hot fudge sundae, but live and learn. Lol. Anyway, the point is that I feel very confident that no matter if the scale goes up a few pounds, if I just focus, I know it will come back down again in a few days; I donโt have to go into mega-restriction mode and punish myself with an unsustainable amount of exercise, etc. I just have to be chill, and everything will be fine. Itโs really a very unusual state of mind, for me!

I don't know why, but walking seems to help the edema in my ankle. Walking around with one compression sock on while wearing shorts is somewhat humbling. Not all "new normals" are fun.
Speaking of normal, here is one I need to change. Does anyone else ever wake up from a "trance" and find yourself standing in front of your open refrigerator without really knowing why or how you got there?
It is not really as dramatic as that, but you get my point maybe.

Happy ๐ Canada ๐จ๐ฆ Day to the Canadians on here. Although I was born in the States, I am proud to be Canadian by parentage, and all my sibs were born in Alberta. I canโt believe itโs July already. The yearโs half gone! July is โeye monthโ for me, with cataract surgeries this Monday & the next one, and then a string of follow up appointments. Not my idea of summer fun, but everyone assures me Iโll be glad I did it. Iโm trying not to think much about it! Nervous. But I donโt seem to be channeling that into food, so thereโs that. Now to keep it that way!

Yep. I ate a lot yesterday, including two pieces of cake. Yikes! I some of this is obviously water โ canโt gain half a pound of fat in one day. I feel like that got the urge out of my system and today will be more controlled, although Iโm quite nervous about tomorrow. Anyway, itโs love out right now, and our air quality is, for now, back to good. Have a happy Sunday!
7/03 - 183.2
Monday, Mondayโฆ. First cataract surgery coming up this morning. Iโm very nervous, but keep telling myself it will be over in 3 hours, other than waiting around for a post-surgery check up. Then I get to do it all again in a week. I know itโs pretty routine, and everyone tells me itโs a snap, but stillโฆ. Anyway, my calories should be lower today!

7/01 #125.2 -Starting up from yesterday, but may have not been truthful counting calories yesterday either- so I need to not lie to myself, this should be added as a goal. Injured myself playing pickleball ( my favorite activity) in May. Going to try playing for a short time this morning, scared and excited. Think I will come home afterwards and do my PT exercises and cardio, once I see how it goes.
7/02 #124.8-Wow, I did not realize that using the food scale is a practice and art easily forgotten. Struggled yesterday, since I cook so much, adding recipes, then dividing, since not sure what the servings were going to be since I was making it up. I am sure it will get easier as I go, notorious taste tester, need to handle that. God looking out for me, only was able to hit pickleball for 5-10 minutes, huge storm rolled in, bummer looks like rain all today. Looks like stationary bike and housework. 4 minutes deep squat yesterday.
7/03 #124.4, I know slowly and surely are best but it sure is nice when you have focused all day on weighing, not snacking and making good food choices to have a little more drop- But I could also fo other way so much more frustrating- So Eeks, I am happy and maybe not filled with joy but a little joy I moving in right direction. Lots of squatting yesterday, over 7 minutes and 4 minutes at one time. Forgot to weigh my fish before i put in airfryer. But better job weighing yesterday. Soon to be ex husband took the elliptical left me with the spin bike. Not able to play Pickleball because of weather so had to bike.
