@musicsax & @SModa61 Thanks so much! Surgery went fine, waiting to sing “I can see clearly now!” 😁

Thank you @quiltingjaine for another round!

💪🏋️‍♀️🤸‍♀️🎵💃👗👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💗🌻🏖🙏

Heaviest Weight Ever: 186.0
186 / 185 / 184 / 183 / 182 / 181 / 180
179 / 178 / 177 / 176 / 175 / 174 / 173 / 172 / 171 / 170
169 / 168 / 167 / 166 / 165 / 164 / 163 / 162 / 161 / 160 👉 159

If I quit now, I will soon be back to where I started. And when I started, I so desperately wanted to be where I am now.

Goal: Shoot for a healthy balance of nutritious food each day, and 80oz of water. Only write down what I eat without measuring or counting calories.

07/11 - 165.6 - 80 oz of water.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Early Morning Comments

7/11 - Today is the first day of the 10 day challenge. I woke up feeling better this morning. I am waiting on the pediatric dermatologist to call me about my daughters medication. I will then take my meds and head to the basement to do my strength training, in the past if I had an appointment I would have skipped my weight training to go get my work done first with the idea that I would come home after work and do it. That never happened so now I am going to get it done first, even if it means that I work a bit later in store during the day. Choices, it's all about choices.

Previous Round's Comments

7/1 - 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.
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.
7/7 - 190.0 - Did the second day of my weight workout, again at 2lbs. Thinking that on Sunday when I do it again I will increase my weight to 5lbs. Had a visit from a friend and helped him out with some computer stuff. I didn’t take any time to sit around in my chair until after dinner. My step count was horrible. I did nothing almost all day and man does it show. 3,561 Steps (34,999 left), 1 Floor (55left), 5 Zone Minutes (202 left). Farley and I did not get out for a walk again.
7/8 - 187.4 - Took Farley for a walk, we didn’t go as far because he was puling too much. Hubby's friend came over last night to play pool. I spent my evening watching Grey's. I started watching this a while ago on Netflix and only have 3 seasons left. My step count was not good but it was a stress free day. 6,985 Steps (28,014 left), 1 Floor (54 left), 36 Zone Minutes (166 Left).
7/9 - 188.4, Took Farley for a walk this morning he was much better. Came home and did my strength training video. I increased the weight from 2bs to 5lbs. Made it harder but still doable. Then I started to tackle the garage. Wow we simple have too much stuff. Had an awesome day for my stats. 11,359 Steps (16,655 left), 3 Floors ( 51 left), 81 Zone Minutes (85 left). I am not going to meet my goals for this week.
7/10 - 190.8 Day started out great. Had a doctors appointment. Going back on my anti-depressants for a while. Did some work then came home and went to bed. Just simply not feeling well at all. Hubby and youngest all felt the same way. 5,393 Steps (11,262 left), 2 Floors (49 left), 11 Zone Minutes (74left) I am going to have to work at my goals another week. [ /Spoiler]

Hi again, I'm Amanda in Appalachian Virginia.

SW RND 229 - 127.4 (7/10)
RGW - <125 lbs

7/11 - 128.4 whoops, not off to a great start according to the scale. Howeve,r I did strength training yesterday. Then this morning, I e-biked the kids to daycare & myself to the doctor and back and then took the dogs on a 3-mile jog! I decided to train for the local half marathon taking place September 17th. Hopefully that will keep me focused and give me some direction.

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Hi Everyone – Looking forward to another challenge, my 5th.
Female, 5’4”, 57 years of age
HW: 210 (May, 2022)
CW: 148.6
GW: still don’t know… hope I’ll know it when I see it in the mirror… chasing a “healthy” BMI first… I suppose I should put quotations around “healthy BMI” because I have read recently that BMI is either a made-up number, or a good tool for docs to use when assessing health related to weight and height, all depending on what you read. In any event, when I look in the mirror, I know that I have fat where I should not, therefore, I need to lose more fat. Whatever my weight is at that point will be my goal.

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 RND 229: 148.6
7/11: 148.4 – had a very early medical test this morning… glad that is over. Work has been extra stressful these past couple of days… the kind of stress where I walk into the office and get called into 3 peoples’ offices before I set my stuff down and boot up my computer… really makes me want to stick my face into a pie or cake or something… but I’m not going to do it. I’ve come so far this last year, I have no desire to undo that hard work. Tonight, I have Zumba after work – YAY! I need to go back to RND 228 and catch up with everyone, but I hope you all are well, hugs to everyone!!

Hi, all. I'm new and looking for motivation to keep going after the first week.

Jen; 46; 5'4"

Thanks to a medication I'm on for my mental health and an overeating habit, I managed to gain a lot of weight in the last year or so. Last Wednesday, I stepped on the scale for the first time since I started the med (that is known to cause weight gain) and decided enough was enough. I buckled down and started actually recording my food for the first time in over five years and started walking every day. Now I need motivation to keep going (especially during this trying week of my son's 13th birthday because he wants homemade pizza which is my hugest weakness and zucchini cake).

RND 229
heaviest: 294 (7/5/23)
SW: 287.8
GW (short term): 275
RGW: 285?

7/11 - 287.8 - 1.33 miles - after walking over 9 miles the past seven days, my legs are killing me. I started with a goal of 1 mile every day but quickly pushed up to 1.5+ but after three of those days in a row, I started noticing more pain and stiffness. I'm definitely overdoing it after not walking much for years (thanks chronic fatigue). I'm also getting stress pains in my shins in one certain spot on each side that I've tracked down to the way I walk while crossing over the numerous driveways in our neighborhood causing one foot to be at an odd angle. I've decided to reverse directions every other day so one side doesn't get more of a workout (also considering maybe just walking in the street but there are a lot of parked cars and a bit of traffic). As a reward for my hard work this last week, I had two mini ice cream cones for dessert today (~120 calories total).

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 229 (my 160th). 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 now in 63 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, 63 days, 6 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!! 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.

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!!

Anabirgite · July 2023

Good Luck to all this month, I am always opposite girl...Started off last month with holiday and kept on track and totally fail the next weekend. But my son visited and I just had so much fun cooking with him. So going to try to measure everything while at home, I do find tracking what you eat to be the best method control my weight

R228 07/10/23: end weight 125.8
R229 07/20/23: goals — be less when I end round...resting squats 10 minutes a day, measure my food, do my pt exercises

Day, Weight, Comment
7/11 -125.2 Tuesday may be the best day to start, away after the weekend gives my body a day of normal eating, drinking more water so less bloated. But Monday has to be the worse day to end, so ended last round where I started. This round will be complicate at the end since I need to travel for work next week. Time zone changes, dining out, and a work luncheon. The hotel I am staying at has a wonderful gym, the advantages of going to Texas in July, hotel rooms are a great deal so able to stay at beautiful place.

7/12 - 122.8 Did not see this coming! Time and tim again I experience and hear the stories if you trust the system CICO ( calories in calories out) it will work. Maybe it should be PCICO (PATIENCE!!!) The patience part being the hardest. I have been trying hard to track what I eat, that is so key for me. I was so hungry yesterday afternoon, I came up and made a turkey sandwich- I measured used that Dave's thin bread but still stayed in my calorie allotment but ate what I wanted to eat when I wanted to eat. Sorry to paddle on but just amazed to out of the blue drop... when several times before I was sure i would wake up and weigh less and weighed more. Hope you all have a blessed day.
