7/03 - 183.2
Monday, Monday…. First cataract surgery coming up this morning. I’m 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 it’s pretty routine, and everyone tells me it’s a snap, but still…. Anyway, my calories should be lower today!
@SheilaBoneham Wishing you the very best during your surgery. Prayers with you and the medical staff. Speedy Recovery!

Day/Weight/Comment
06/30 …..198.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/01 -197.8- (Trend weight 197.4)
07/02 -197.6- (Trend weight 197.5) I celebrated my son’s 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 it’s 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. He’s 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, “Oh, Ye of Little Faith” to my trendweight app.
07/03 -196.6- (Trend weight 197.4) A nice step in the right direction.

7/1 210.3 (-2.4/-2.4) ~ After 20 hour fast. I'll be on vacation this Friday but once I get back, I'm going to continue with my Friday Fasts. It's working out well with a big loss and then small gains over the weekend but down just the same. In the past - I'd go the week and maybe see 1 to 1.5 pound lost only to gain all or more over the weekend.
7/2 210.8 (+0.5/-1.9)
7/3 211.0 (+0.2/-1.7) ~ At this point - I'm just looking to maintain. My "plan" is to continue with 16:8, basically skipping breakfast. I am taking my portable scale so I should be able to continue to weigh... it will hopefully also keep me on plan!

Happy 🍁 Canada 🇨🇦 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 can’t believe it’s July already. The year’s half gone! July is “eye month” 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 I’ll be glad I did it. I’m trying not to think much about it! Nervous. But I don’t seem to be channeling that into food, so there’s 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 — can’t 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 I’m quite nervous about tomorrow. Anyway, it’s love out right now, and our air quality is, for now, back to good. Have a happy Sunday!
7/03 - 183.2
Monday, Monday…. First cataract surgery coming up this morning. I’m 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 it’s pretty routine, and everyone tells me it’s a snap, but still…. Anyway, my calories should be lower today!

My 17th Round
Age: 53
Height: 5’3.75”
HW: 345 lbs (Aug 2005)
LW: 135.4 (June 2023)
CW: 137 lbs
GW: 135 lbs
Long-term Goal: <145.6 lbs until June 5, 2024 (Normal BMI)
This round's daily goals:
1. <1300 + 50% exercise cals 10/10 days – 😊☹
2. 7.4 miles of steps 10/10 days – 😊☹
3. 8 cups fluids 10/10 days – ☹😊
4. Meditation 10/10 days – ☹☹
5. Strength/Bike/Swim 10/10 days – ☹☹
6. Attend work 3/3 days –
7. Stay under 140 lbs 10/10 days – 😊😊😊
7/1 – 137 lbs - Down -- lbs this round and 2 lbs to goal; /228 miles for July.
7/2 – 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 I’ll 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 didn’t make my exercise goals and my calories went off the rails – I didn’t track and there was McDonald’s 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 fiancé 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 didn’t 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 “party girl” to a “sporty girl”! Haha! It sounds silly but it really turned out to be quite an effective mind trick – thinking to myself, “What would a sporty girl do?” I do not miss drinking at all anymore, and I am so glad I don’t 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. 😊 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 wasn’t 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 don’t beat myself up over it, like I would have in the past. Also I am being way more patient with the rate of loss – normally I would get so angry if I wasn’t losing “fast enough”, 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 in… well, never, actually. So even though I ate too much when we went to McDonald’s 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 I’m 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 don’t 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. It’s really a very unusual state of mind, for me!

I am coming off a 10-day maintenance round. I’m experimenting with a cycle of doing 10 days at a deficit followed by 10 days at or just above maintenance. Repeat. It’s partly inspired by the MATADOR study but mostly is just my way of making this process sustainable.

7/3 DNW. I forgot this morning. I am struggling a bit and I’m craving carbs, so I’m going to spend the next two or three days getting the carb cravings under control. Plan is no more than 50 net grams of carbs but not worrying about being in a caloric deficit until I have the cravings under control. This strategy usually works well.

7/1 142.8 (trend 142.7) Ok, back to normal today. 2lbs up from the day I left for my holiday, not that bad! We got back at 3am last night and managed to resist stopping for food at the services on the motorway. I'm glad it's the first of the month and the start of a new round, else I might have been tempted to put off getting back to tracking until after the weekend. We had a bit of a disaster on the way to the airport. OH had strained his back putting the bikes in the shed so I'd had to do all the heavy lifting putting things in the car etc. When we stopped to refuel the hire car, I had to do it, which isn't something I've done in Portugal before. I got all flustered trying to prepay for the fuel with my limited Portuguese and ended up putting diesel in the petrol car! 5 minutes later we had broken down on the highway and had to call for recovery. Luckily our flight was delayed or we would have missed it, but I'm dreading finding out how much it's going to all cost us and am feeling very cross at myself about it all.

Hi Everyone – Looking forward to another challenge, my 4th.
Female, 5’4”, 57 years of age
HW: 210 (May, 2022)
CW: 149.2
GW: still don’t know… hope I’ll know it when I see it in the mirror… chasing a “healthy” 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.
7/3: 148.2 - makes me smile to see that, even if it is fleeting. Going to try to get an extra workout in today since I am home, and I won't have my Zumba class tomorrow. Other than that, pretty quiet for me.

My weight loss has been unusually consistent the last few days. In an attempt to not go off track at dinner, I have been trialling a larger snack late in the afternoon. It seems to be doing the trick and I am no longer eating more at dinner than planned.

This is my first round of JGMTD.
It's a good doable challenge I think.
I'm 63, 5'4" and my heaviest weight ever was 234 in March of 2022.
Started back on MFP last week at 224.8
Goals for the Next 10 Days: stick to morning and evening routines, cut out ADS (after dinner snacking), walk dog daily, pre-track nutrition and weight daily. Would be thrilled to drop 5 lbs in 10 days.
July 1: 223
Stayed focused and met all my goals
July 2: 222.6
Another good day of focus and staying on track.
July 3: 221.8
I was out most of the day today. My knee was horribly painful (tore my meniscus last month 😥) you do not realize how important your knees are until they are damaged. Pup will get a break from a walk today - besides, it's 35 degrees out there. #idonotfeelguilty

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.

6/29 DNW Holiday
6/30 DNW Holiday
-
7/1 142.8 (trend 142.7) Ok, back to normal today. 2lbs up from the day I left for my holiday, not that bad! We got back at 3am last night and managed to resist stopping for food at the services on the motorway. I'm glad it's the first of the month and the start of a new round, else I might have been tempted to put off getting back to tracking until after the weekend. We had a bit of a disaster on the way to the airport. OH had strained his back putting the bikes in the shed so I'd had to do all the heavy lifting putting things in the car etc. When we stopped to refuel the hire car, I had to do it, which isn't something I've done in Portugal before. I got all flustered trying to prepay for the fuel with my limited Portuguese and ended up putting diesel in the petrol car! 5 minutes later we had broken down on the highway and had to call for recovery. Luckily our flight was delayed or we would have missed it, but I'm dreading finding out how much it's going to all cost us and am feeling very cross at myself about it all. OH has been quite chilled about it so far, but let's see when the bill comes in.
STEPS 5,343
7/2 140.8 (trend 142.4) I didn't do great yesterday so I'm very surprised to have this big drop today. Spent most of the day lazing on the sofa and had far too much of the apple and strawberry crumble that my daughter had made. Time to pull my socks up and get active.
STEPS 2,795
7/3 140.2 (trend 142.1) Yesterday was almost an exact replica of the day before, ate the wrong stuff and didn't get any exercise... self sabotage? anxiety? On the plus side another drop and my lowest weight since restarting in January. I'm beginning to suspect this is muscle loss not fat loss though.
STEPS 1,844 !
7/4 141.0 (trend 142.0) I'm not surprised to be back up today as I ate a lot of bread yesterday, no self control. I got myself out for a walk but the heavens opened and I got drenched so had to cut the walk short. I feel like I'm self sabotaging and I'm not sure why. Maybe I'm afraid of hitting my first goal of 140lbs as then I have to step into the unchartered territory of the 130s. I'm also feeling quite down on myself for the mistake with the hire car, we still don't know what the bill is going to be or how difficult it will be to claim on the insurance and as I'm not working I have no way to contribute so am feeling guilty about it. So maybe I'm punishing myself? My anxiety is raging at the moment, I have guests coming to stay this weekend and am not feeling prepared for it but am procrastinating. Urgh.

Round 228
SW: 125
RGW: 123
Plan: Log daily( no lying or cheating!!!). Exercise daily, including beginning weights again and PT exercises, also working on deep squat- goal 10 minutes a day.
Day, Weight, Comment
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.
7/04 #125- Eeks, I know it is probably water retention but mentally I struggle going backwards when I put so much effort yesterday. I did actually get to play pickleball since be sidelined since May 7, when I got hurt. I was scared and overthought every shop but actually went very well, AC joint sore in afternoon and last night. Debating going right now, So nice to be outside, socializing and running around, might make me forget I gained weight. Did 10 minutes yesterday of resting squats, not at once but got 4 minutes at one time.

EW Round 226: 193.2
I am coming off a 10-day maintenance round. I’m experimenting with a cycle of doing 10 days at a deficit followed by 10 days at or just above maintenance. Repeat. It’s partly inspired by the MATADOR study but mostly is just my way of making this process sustainable.

7/3 DNW. I forgot this morning. I am struggling a bit and I’m craving carbs, so I’m going to spend the next two or three days getting the carb cravings under control. Plan is no more than 50 net grams of carbs but not worrying about being in a caloric deficit until I have the cravings under control. This strategy usually works well.
7/4 192.6. Carb cravings aren’t as bad luckily. And it looks like I’ve lost some water weight.

Hellooooo! I totally forgot to post yesterday to finish round 227....but basically it was a wash. I maintained in a two pound range through the whole month of June. Came to the conclusion that this summer is going to be tricky to keep to any type of routine so I'm ok with just trying to stay where I am until fall when we settle back to normal at home. We leave for our UK trip on the 9th so I won't be able to finish this round...but will keep this part of what little routine I have going until then.
Female - 51yrs - 5'5"
Goal Weight - to hang out somewhere 145-150
R227 EW - 166.6
7/1 - 166.0 - Happy Canada Day to all the Canadian 10 Dayers!!!
7/2 - 164.4 - I blipped down to 164.x last round too...maybe I've got it in me? Over 16000 steps and 45 flights of stairs yesterday from walking to work and running around the store and stock room. I now have two days off in Muskoka...Since I started this job I haven't had a day off to enjoy up here, I've been running back and forth to home. I think we will go for a kayak before lunch and then hang out on the dock. It's going to be a hot one.
7/3 - 165.0 - A bit of a bounce back up....not surprising. We went on a growler run to one of our favourite breweries after our kayak yesterday....so there was craft beer on the dock.
7/4 - 166.0 - still here in the 2lb range. TOM is due any moment now so there's bloat and cravings in my near future.

7/04 - 152.6 - Happy 4th to all my fellow American friends! Little fluctuation, not worried about it at all. I did enjoy a small bowl of ice cream and took my lactose pills immediately after. It satisfied the craving and fit into my calorie goal perfectly so the slight bloat isn't a concern. Today I slept in until 630 and still managed a run. It wasn't a long one, but I only said "a run" not a time or distance so I've managed to check the box. I'm trying not to put a hard and fast rule to it otherwise I'll lose all desire to even continue running until I have no choice but to train for the other 5k I've signed up for in November. Anyway, I'm hoping everyone wakes up in time for me to run through the shower quickly before we have to leave for the parade and other events going on today. It's a very social day and I'm not sure I'm ready for it mentally. Oh well. I feel stronger about my food and movement choices now that I've done my run so hopefully that mental strength will also bleed through into my people-ing ability. I have a general plan today (I vaguely know the lunch offerings and the event this evening is likely to be the same ol' American-fare for the holiday so not terribly hard to guess) and hopefully plenty of opportunity to get my steps in.

Previous Day's Comments7/01 - Sodium blip. BF wanted out of the house (don't blame him) so we went and got Japanese at a new place. This one was definitely more mom-and-pop shop, homemade versus the other place which has more of a chain restaurant vibe. I did really well with pushing my plate to be taken away after piling my trash on it once I was full, a HUGE NSV. I'd normally feel obligated to pick at it while others ate and try to finish it to get my "money's worth". I didn't leave hungry, my taste buds were satisfied (even happy as I was craving sesame chicken), and I didn't feel sick from overeating. That was my money's worth despite there being more food on the plate. Not sure plan today other than SD has a "volunteer" job (they get paid but it's just to help increase staffing for a one-day event) from 1-9. Then that place puts on fireworks from 9-9:30 so we're hanging out at the fire station (upon request) in case of need (so dry with these record temperatures). LittleBro will come with us and SD will meet us there (it's maaaaaybe 1/4mile walk from the place she's working) to watch the fireworks together. Once I post and catch up reading, I'll stretch my poor sore hamstrings out while I read as everyone is still asleep.
7/02 - Scale blipped down to 151 range before settling higher. I do feel a tad puffy from the garlic salt at dinner, but not as bad as before. I'm also still very sore in the hamstrings despite setting aside time to stretch yesterday. I will do so again today. We had a freak storm form over us last night bringing much needed rain. My intended morning walk with the pups was also canceled due to continuing rain this morning. Oh well. Tomorrow is a scheduled walk, weather-permitting, and my kettlebell workout. Likely another lazy day today, especially with all the rain. If so, I'll keep reading like I did yesterday. It's nice to read my own books during the day and then my Book Club book (for that month) before bed.
7/03 - There we go. I'm still holding on to water weight - we went mini-golfing and to TopGolf. First mini-golf was outside and no food/drinks on the course (which at 100 degrees in the sun is not at all smart...but that's just me). Had lunch and then a round of indoor mini-golf (a bottle of water cost $7 so.... yeah, didn't happen). Finally we went to TopGolf which I drink 2 large glasses of water. I didn't want to make myself sick, though. Also, though all this, I managed to be 1,300 steps shy of 10k. How?! So much walking. Ended up skipping dinner as lunch was at 2pm and very heavy. None of us were hungry by dinnertime. Today I took the dogs for a walk and completed my NF Journey kettlebell workout. Tomorrow is a day off, but I'm supposed to run. I'll see how I feel, soreness-wise and sleepy-wise, in the morning. Making veggie chickpea curry for lunches this week for myself. SD said she'd try it, too.

Happy 🍁 Canada 🇨🇦 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 can’t believe it’s July already. The year’s half gone! July is “eye month” 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 I’ll be glad I did it. I’m trying not to think much about it! Nervous. But I don’t seem to be channeling that into food, so there’s 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 — can’t 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 I’m quite nervous about tomorrow. Anyway, it’s love out right now, and our air quality is, for now, back to good. Have a happy Sunday!
7/03 - 183.2
Monday, Monday…. First cataract surgery coming up this morning. I’m 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 it’s pretty routine, and everyone tells me it’s a snap, but still…. Anyway, my calories should be lower today!
7/04 - 183.6
Happy Fourth! My cataract surgery went well. My vision in that eye is like looking through thick gauze because of the meds they put in, but no other pain or discomfort. On our way home mid-afternoon DH wanted a Whopper & fries, so I got the same — was pretty hungry by then — which was my first such food in years! Then I had ice cream late evening. Not great, but my calories weren’t much over my goal, so other than a lot of salt I think it was ok. Back on track today. I don’t think I’ll be doing much until my vision clears, but it seems to be getting better every hour. Many thanks to those you sent well wishes!

SW: 229.4.

Initial Goal Weight: 180.
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. Exercise 3x / wk.
Round 226. EW 229.8. (+0.4)
Round 227. EW 226.2 (-3.6)
Round 228
7/1 224 (-2.2) 22 hr fast. I kind of accidentally did this long of a fast. I got to 18 hrs and wasn't really hungry so thought I'd go longer. I'm heading into a long weekend where there will be alcohol and treats so I expect an uptick for the beginning half of this round.
7/2 DNW
7/3 DNW
7/4 226.2 (+2.2) not surprising that I'm up considering the alcohol and junk food I had all weekend.
