I started recording what I eat and estimating calories because that's another thing that's helped! Thanks for keeping this challenge going even when I can't stick with it.

7/6-164-Yesterday was Quilts of Honor, making quilts for veterans. Today is Featherweight Club where they give us a box of fabric and a pattern and we start making it; usually you can finish a quilt top in that amount of time. We are also having a potluck…..Tomorrow is our charity quilt day that I usually host once a month at my house, but we are having it on a Saturday instead at the quilt shop. So, today is day 2 of 3 of sitting and sewing, luckily I can leave when I want to. Today I’ll run home early to help the lady across the road at her “park” to prepare for her 8/19 event.8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
7/1: 134.0 - Well, not a great way to start a round, but hopefully can only go down from here.
7/2: 133.8 - I just love (not) how my weight will take these 1 pound jumps up over night but then sloooooooowly work its way down.
7/3: 133.2 - Last night’s binge has not yet shown up on the scale, but it will soon.
7/4: 133.2 - Hmm…I thought I did pretty well yesterday. Holding steady.
7/5: 133.4 - Too many sweet treats yesterday
7/6: 134.5 - I had a great day yesterday with a good workout, good sleep and not eating back my exercise calories. The scale is finally catching up with my past sins.
7/7: 132.9 - And back to where I started this round. 2 days in a row of good workouts and not eating back my exercise calories.

@Danceswithdogz (I dance with my cats and they hate it) Regarding weighing every day. For me, the value of daily is learning patterns and cause and effect on the scale. I am no longer shocked my uptick after a high volume (still in my system) or high carb (I retain fluids) day. Knowing this can be helpful. If one weighs more randomly and steps on the scale after one such day, there is no data to have told you that days reading is likely high. Anyhow, weighing patterns are up to the individual and should be whatever supports that person best.
@39Flavours I surprisingly loved Schitts creek!
@anabirgite I want to try and make the cottage cheese ice cream that I frequently see
Took a walk/run break to remove excuses. Just got in from 6 miles!
@jelleigh I have been hearing things about not aggravating cortisol as well. A recent one was a podcast on “belly fat” and it talked about types of exercise. So many things to thin about
@fitby44 One of my favorite dining out tricks to not feel deprived is two appetizers. One used as appetizer and one as my entrée. I’m a foodie so it makes me happy. :P
@tiabirdie56 @Quiltingjaine @Musicsax Hubby is the cramp person. His are had when they hit. I don’t know how, but Hyland's Naturals Leg Cramp Tablets stop them quickly. Will tell Hub’s about the liposomal magnesium.
Caught up through page 8. Going to go make breakfast.

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.
7/4: 147.7 - Oh yeah - very pleasant surprise this morning! Having a cookout with the family today, so don't expect that to stick, but still, nice to see. I am cooking, so I can control the what, but I need to also control the how much. Definitely have both healthy and not so healthy choices... but I feel kind of empowered now to stay on track.
7/5: 148.6 - SO Hard to get up and go back to work today. That 4-day weekend felt good. I made mostly good choices yesterday, but also allowed myself an indulgence or two, nothing out of control. After everyone left, I got a little bit of a workout in. All in all a successful day. Tomorrow is going to be a stressful day, but I have my after work cardio dance class to look forward to, which also means I won't have time to eat the stress away.
7/6: 148 - As suspected, fairly stressful day. I have made a deal with myself, I can eat more calories than I plan (will still be deficit for day due to cardio dance class tonight), but I cannot eat any unhealthy for me choices. So I made sure to have extra fruits, veggies and some 0% Greek yogurt available... plus nuts. I LOVE when fresh produce is both bountiful and delicious!! It has really helped me stay away from my co-worker's birthday cake that is being shared in the office today!
7/7: 147.9 Heading to a funeral this morning, then to work. Last night's cardio workout was awesome - love a good sweat session. Stuck with my promise to myself - only ate healthy choices, didn't worry about how much. Feel pretty good this morning. Happy Friday Y'all!

Day, Weight, Comment
7/01 - 182.6
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!
7/05 - 185.2
Yep, there’s my Whopper and fries from Monday, plus some salty junk food yesterday — chili cheese Fritos, Parmesan garlic pita chips, like that, plus barbecue ribs and potato salad. Recovery foods. 😁 Back on track today, menu all planned, including lots of water. My vision is clearing, but I still have blurry spots from the medication they put in my eye. Hopefully it will clear more today. Neighbors were shooting off LOUD fireworks (no sparklies, just noise — I don’t get it) until well after midnight, so I might need a nap. 😌 I hope all my American friends here had an enjoyable 4th.
7/06 - 183.8
That’s a bit better. I knew yesterday I was full of water! My vision has mostly cleared, and although my glasses are not correcting optimally (which was expected), they’re not bad. Of course, I get to do this all again next week. 🤪 But I’m feeling strangely energized, and am going to make myself some schedules and set some goals beginning in August — I want to get back to serious writing, get Booker’s advanced trick titles by December, get him ready for his first obedience and scent work titles this fall, and get back to painting regularly. And walking! I guess I hadn’t realized how much having these surgeries hanging over me was weighing me down. I am confident that getting back to the activities that buoy my spirits, and to my real work (writing) will help me get seriously back on track weight wise. Oh, and when registration opens I’m signing up for an online fitness class aimed at getting dog-sport competitors in shape. It sounds great and gets rave reviews, so there’s that! Now to clean my office and rearrange so I can do things when I’m ready! Sorry a lot of this doesn’t sound weight/health related, but it is!
7/07 - 184
Not much to report. I’ve had a string of very quiet day as my eye heals, which has let me do a lot of thinking. I’m feeling energized this morning to get some cleaning a garden work done before my next surgery on Monday and quiet stretch next week. Booker seems to be shedding his puppy coat — black hairs everywhere — so vacuuming is first up! And I can finally wash my hair — had to avoid water in my eye. Yay for that! Sometimes it’s the little big things! 😊 Here are some flowers for you all. Happy Friday!

@SModa61 Do you happen to remember the name of the podcast about belly fat? I’m curious about the exercise part2
-
@clprieur I’m sorry you had such a hard day at work, but thank you for sharing your coping strategies — helpful for many of us I’m sure. I actually implemented some of them yesterday after reading your post, as I was stressed when DH came home with a bloodied hand from our big, playful, completely non-aggressive but short-on-impulse-control adolescent pup.
@tiabirdie56 I just ordered some liposomal magnesium. The stuff I’ve been taking no longer seems to do the trick for leg cramps, so I’ll try this. Thanks for the info!

7/6 - 189.8, not the best day. Started out really good, but then the pull of my chair and cheese pleasures got to me. Thinking that maybe I should throw out my chair or at least make it so that I can't just sit easily. I tracked my food this morning, which is better then not tracking but I need to get in the habit of tracking as the day goes. I was just under for my calorie count, barely and in truth because I didn’t track as I ate I probably under represented what I ate. My water intake is still very low, need to work on that. 5,961 steps (38,560 left), 2 Floors (56 left), 36 Zone Minutes (207 left). Farley and I did not get out for a walk last night it was simply too hot for him. I think that I am going to have to start taking him in the morning.

Previous Day's Comments7/1 - 189.6 - tracked food, Strength training - rest day, 8,488 steps (71,512 left), 9 Floors done ( 71 left), 59 Zone Minutes ( 391 left). 56oz water, under goal. Over all it was a good day. Got out for a 45 minute walk/run with Fraley.
7/2 - 189.4 - bad day. Didn't track, didn't wear Fitbit most of the day 1,894 steps (69,618 left) 1 Floor (70 left), 5 Zone Minutes (386 left). Water not tracked. Smoke and bad air quality was back.. Spent the day baking donuts and watching TV, not great.
7/3 - 190.4- good day, didn’t track my food that well . Strength training completed, 6,902 steps (62,716 left), 5 Floors (65 left), 31 Zone Minutes (355 left).
7/4 - 191.6 - overall good day. Didn’t track food or water I really need to get this on lock. Rest day from strength training, muscles are sore from the other day. 9,443 steps (53,273 left), 3 floors ( 62 left), 31 Zone minutes (324 left). I listened to 2 episodes of the coaches cup podcast. Took Farley for a walk last evening, we didn’t go as far the other day but we got out and he had fun
7/5 - 190.4 - average day, it got a little hot in the afternoon and the smoke was really bad again from the fires. I finished tracking my food this morning. I was over for my calorie count. My water was little low, still need to work on that. 8,752 steps (44,521 left), 4 floors (58 left), 81 Zone Minutes (243 left). Farley and I didn't get out for our walk due to the air quality. I did a new strength training workout. Found it on YouTube Senior Fitness Seated Dumbbell Workout For Beginners | 20 Min, it is part of a workout series Senior Fitness with Meredith. I think that I am going to continue to use this one. [ /Spoiler]4 -

@tiabirdie56 I saw your update. Thanks for the info. Have you ever tried or considered just taking one softgel, which I assume would then be 1100 mg? I have been considering starting supplements. Magnesium being one, so I will be checking this out. Thx (haha, this got asked and answered on the next page)
@jakette3 see you soon. Keep in mind, people have found and joined the group midround. It’s whatever supports you best!
@fmfdfa2020 I am TERRIBLE about water. If I drink one glass a day, it is amazing. I need to change this.
\@clprieur are there other career options for you? Sorry your job is such a stressor
@SheilaBoneham So glad things are going well with your cataract surgery! As for the podcast, turns out it was a youtube. This is the one that had been auto-suggested for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQgYcF9O3TQ at roughly 24 minutes, exercise is the topic.
@espinosacitlali6077 Welcome!
@_jeffreyD_ Amazing on the chess. Will keep that in mind for DGS someday. He is 3.5 now. How old did you start tic tac toe?

@deepwoodslady, One capsule probably would be effective. Yes, I bought it from Amazon. Juvetirpo liposomal magnesium
@tiabirdie56 Thanks so much for the info. I'm ordering today for metabolic syndrome which I've been officially diagnosed with by my endocrinologist. Also for toe cramps that get pretty severe.2 -
@SheilaBoneham, I hope the magnesium works as well for you as it has for me. Nighttime cramps are horrible. I'm happy to know that your cataract surgery went well.
@SModa61, Honestly, when I first received the supplement, I was just anxious to see how well it worked. After taking it for a week, I considered the potency. I probably will reduce to taking one a day soon to see if I get the same results.
@deepwoodslady, have you ever considered using a leg massager for your fluid retention? 2 yrs ago, I had noticed that one of my husbands ankles kept swelling badly. I bought an air compression massager for him and used it every night. It really helped to move that fluid.

07/05 -195.4- (Trend weight 197.0)
07/06 -196.6- (Trend weight 197.0) Well, I knew the holiday and the travel would catch up to me. Today, however, should be a banner day. Babysitting overnight and all day tomorrow for DGS. Tomorrow, he will keep me on my toes!
07/07 -195.6- (Trend weight 196.8) Because I stay up so late, if I don’t eat dinner very very late (10 pm – Midnight) I will get too hungry and will end up in a binge. I think the fact that I only sleep about 4 hours per night (leaving a 20 hour eating window) is the biggest culprit but I have never seemed to need more than 4 hours per night. About once per week I make up for it with a 6 hour night usually. So planning my meals and snacks can be difficult. This is how I have been handling it lately: I try to do Intermittent Fasting (if sugar doesn’t drop) making my first meal around 3 – 4:00 pm. Because of IF I usually only eat two meals. Snack about 7-8:00 pm. Dinner 10-Midnight. Snack about 2 hours after dinner (usually 1 oz nuts and 1 square of 90% cacao dark chocolate.) The last snack is pretty close to bedtime but I’m usually getting a bit hungry again by then. The fat content usually shows up on my scale in the morning (like it did today) which is frustrating. I have tweaked and tweaked but my stomach seems to be the boss. I’ve ABSOLUTELY got to avoid hunger at night or it’s not pretty! I’ll literally clean the pantry out! Something I’ve noticed that I found strange: If I haven’t eaten yet (during my IF) I can go without food with no problem. But once I eat my first meal at 3:30 or 4:00 pm, I am hungry more frequently for the rest of the day/night. I also obsess about food more often once I’ve had it. Very weird.

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.

7/1 127.5 Great way to start the round.
7/2 127.0
7/3 127.0 Supposed to meet high school friend for lunch but I’m sending DH to Urgent Care since he’s still congested and coughing.
7/4 127.5 🇺🇸Happy Birthday USA🇺🇸I wish all of my fellow Americans a wonderful day. Okay with this slight uptick, OMAD was a beef chimichanga with my HS friend and my DH. That certainly would have been a better choice without the tortilla but they are made in house and SOOO good! I wasn’t hungry the rest of the day but should have had a lot more water. Between spending about 4 hours in the car and sitting about 6 hours at the racetrack in temperature over 105. . . I drank a lot of water when we got home after 11PM and went to bed. Community “picnic” this afternoon - hot dogs, hamburgers, sides I don’t eat. I will indulge in an adult beverage and perhaps dessert.
7/5 128.5 Indulge I did. And we ate 3 hours later than I like. I woke with foot cramp and later calf cramp during the night.
7/6 127.5 OMAD was beef brisket. I order 1#, eat what I want and bring home the “planned overs.” I was going to have some vegetables when we got home but wasn’t hungry.5 -

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!
7/4 210.2 (-0.8/-2.5) ~ Holiday ~ Also late weigh in. I usually do it first thing in the morning and we got our early to go to a parade. This is the result of sitting in the hot sun for 3 hours…..
7/5 213 (+2.8/+0.3)~ Vacation - Last weigh-in from home.

7/7 213.8(+1.3/+1.1) ~ Vacation
