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.

You can use the 'quote' from the bottom of your last post and add to each each day, or alternatively a number of us save a separate document in Word or similar document on our devise (I use my laptop), update it each day and then copy and paste on to here.2 -
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.
7-13 -123.2 Mystery is back...I think when I saw 122.whatever I became 122...I am actually a little perturbed I crossed to 123, when 123 was my goal these 10 days in first place. I really do need to find a therapist but I had such a wonderful therapist who went on to do greater things-help at risk kids- ( I am very happy for her) but sad for me. Starting again seems so daunting. Drat this narrative has strayed! Off to see the orthopedist to evaluate my hip today- I really had a bad fall playing pickleball. Hopefully I can straighten both my shoulder and hip out and start maximizing getting in shape.
7/14 - 122.2 I actually stand in front of the scale and have no, No, NO! Idea what it is going to say when I finally have the nerve to stand on it. Today Yeah! But will tomorrow be Nay??? I am logging better and better, I believe I was 99% on top of... I just am not sure if I had 2 of my homemade protein cookies or 3. But they have sure helped with my sweet tooth, and protein goals. I was concerned I sometimes, really not internally but I wonder subliminally? I forget to turn off my apple watch when I sneak in 10 minute jaunts on spin bike...I just need to get away from my desk and move so try to do this every hour or 2 in afternoon. I am going to try not to get too excited with number today continue to weigh my food and stay on goal. small yeah though!!!

Round 229
July 11 - 20, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW current MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126
Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.
History:Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a DGS, and second GS on the way. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment
7/11 (Maine) – 126.6 (Renpho 125.6) I guessing that is a result for lots of advil and Tylenol combine with a dinner of restaurant Pad thai. :’( Worked on the contents of my parents condo in Maine for the day. They were last able to travel there in 2019, before COVID. It is another hoarded home (not TV level). The trash and recycling dumpsters on the property open at chest high. Therefore one must open the lid with one hand and lift the disposed items to that height and up and over. I think the lifting with twisting of heavy containers did me in. Once I get through this recovery, it is clear my core needs more attention.
7/12- (Mass) – 126.8 (Renpho 126.6) One thing I have noticed about myself is that back pain (or menstrual pain when I used to have it) is a trigger for me to eat/binge. Last night was beyond not good behavior, and I am still loading up on advil and Tylenol. Today, going to pre-track my day and get control before I do real damage. Sister is also coming tomorrow to stay with me for three days while working with my parents. That could be a whole other trigger. Lots to get a handle on.
7/13- (Mass) – 125.8 (Renpho 125.6)
7/14- (Mass) – 124.2 (Renpho 124.4) Advil is out of my system, and have eaten reasobably past two days. First day was slightly below “weigh loss” target, and the second above, but still below “maintenance” target. It is great to understand cause and effects so help prevent a panic, to which I might respond poorly. No exercise is happening. Sad that the nature of this summer and obligations can impact that so much. But unlike 2021, I will keep control of my weight, regardless.

This round is going to be a struggle to keep up on reading comments with various things going on. Will do my best.
@justanotherjen13 Welcome and bravo. My sole piece of advice (and maybe others have given this already) is to not burn yourself out. Pick what you can do comfortably and for the long run. This is coming from someone who is a “repeat offender”. I get super excited, do too much, and then next thing you know I have quit. I am now in maintenance, something I do poorly.
@clprieur Congrats on your job change. It would be wonderful to have positivity in your workplace for you again. Good luck!
@SheilaBoneham Glad your surgeries have both gone well. Amazing and wonderful that you were able to do them in close proximity and you will have this whole process behind you. Enjoy your new vision!
@UkinBtheSun I keep a running open word file as my method. I edit my word file and then cut and paste it into my post. I post in this group from a computer. I have no clue how I would post using the mobile app.

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.
7/12 - Today is going to be another long day. I have to go out early and get my stores done so that I can be home by 11 so hubby can go out. We are having an energy assessment done on our house to see if we qualify for a federal grant to get our windows and roof done.
7/13 - Today is a day off for me. I am going to take my daughter for some blood work and myself for mine. I have an intake meeting at 10am for myself and then we get to go to Costco for camping food.
7/14 - Just didn't feel great yesterday. Woke up and seemed fine, went out to water m plants and the smoke hit me and I started to fell like crap. Took my daughter to Walmart for things for her camping trip and came home and did nothing.

Previous Round Learnings End of round Comments.R228 My 1st
I can do this, tracking like this daily really helps me see where I am going. I need to make better mini-goals for the next round. [ /Spoiler]
Previous Round Stats.R228 My 1st Start 190.0 End 190.8 [ /Spoiler]
Previous Round'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.
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]5 -

Day, Weight, Comment
7/11 - 184.6
I expected that since we grabbed burgers and fries on our way back mid-afternoon from my eye surgery. Then I slept the rest of the afternoon, and at a variety of definitely not weight-loss foods in the evening. I’ll move toward better eating soon. Off in a few minutes for my post-surgery check up. My vision is really a mess at the moment, with one eye full of meds (like looking through very dirty glass) and the other no longer properly corrected by my glasses. Good excuse to lie around and listen to audio books and podcasts!
7/12 - 184
My eye is a bit clearer today, but still has annoying globs of medication floating around. I can’t drive, and have trouble in bright light even with dark glasses so I’m not walking much, but I can read and knit and listen to things, so I’ll survive. 🧶📚😊 At least I haven’t had the big junk food cravings I had with the first eye!
7-13 - 183.8
I finally got out for a short walk with the pup yesterday evening, which was great. A lot of the medication has dissolved or evaporated or otherwise danced its way out of my eye this morning, so although my vision hasn’t completely cleared, I don’t have big black blobs floating around. 😁 I can see we’ll enough to drive so I’m heading over to a nearby nursery to wander around a little. I need to get away, even if it’s just 2 miles away for 20 minutes!
7/14 - 182.4
Yes! Yay! I haven’t had the urge to snack the past couple of days — maybe my post-surgery junk food binges filled the need. Nice to see the change paying off. Now to stick to it…. We’ve been watching a Netflix series on the human body, and the episode on the circulatory system reminded me about the dangers of sitting too much. I knew that, of course, but the physicians and scientists on there explained what and why in vivid terms. So I’m going to start something I used to do when I was seriously writing — set an interval timer to get up every 45 minutes and go out and walk 15. I felt great when I was doing that (and walking 1-2 hours/day in addition). My vision is a little better, so I’m starting today.

I took 2 capsules last night. I had the best sleep in the past 4 nights. I'll go back to taking 2 capsules, 2 days on, one day off.
@tiabirdie56 Tish, do you take the two capsules at the same time, or separately? Thanks!0 -

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!!
7/12: 148.2 - Phew, thank goodness yesterday is in my rear view! Still stressful at work, and now I need to have ANOTHER medical test done... Geesh. By the time I am done, I think my whole entire body's innards will have been seen by all medical professionals in this area. I am not complaining (much, well, yes, I am complaining), I know they need to check things out and I could be on the other end of this needing to see medical professionals and not being able to get an appointment. I am grateful they are taking the time to make sure I am as healthy as I can be. Take care of your liver people - no joke!
7/13: 147.7 - Ok, the stress is getting to me. It's just life stuff, just work stuff, but dang. Why why why do I feel the need to stuff these feelings down with food? I am sitting here at my computer having an internal conversation in my head, trying to be a good friend to myself... just breathe, it's all going to work out okay, you don't need that food to fix this, you will only feel worse afterward. Do you think anyone would notice if I sat here with duct tape across my mouth? I am going to write 147.7 on a big post-it note and put it in front of my face. Hugs to everyone who is struggling!!!
7/14: 148 - Feeling so much better today. Had a great cardio dance workout last night - sweat my patootie off. Dripping, disgusting sweat always makes me feel better afterward! Things are quieter here at the office so I feel like I can breathe again for the first time this week. Looking forward to a weekend with no plans beyond cooking and cleaning (that makes me sound so strange!). Happy Friday!!

7/13 ~ Vacation
7/14 214.0 (+0.2/+0.2) ~ I got on the scale last night after eating dinner just to "see". It said 215 - I said, no way! Holiday and 10 vacation days and I'm up 1.3 from the start of last round (pre vacation)!!! Deal! I continued to fast 16:8 for the first couple of days then it was too hard to maintain. I averaged two meals a day, lots of drinks, lots of water and I exercised everyday except travel days. I'm going to jinx it but I should easily hit my lowest weight since doing these 10 day challenges by the end of this round. I'm excited!

7/13: 318.4 (start date)
7/14: 318.2 {-2 oz}
Happy with this loss, at least it's in the going in the right direction. I realize that by weighing daily weight can and will fluctuate. Looking forward to the rest of this round and reading everyone's comments.

Round 229
7/11 - 267.8
7/12 - 266
7/13 - 269
7/14 - 265.8 (Not going to lie, yesterday's 269 felt very stressful and I don't usually weight daily but I decided to for this 10 day sprint. But it was nice to step on the scale this morning and see it was just a fluke. A nice reminded to not let a number ruin your day. I got this. We all got this.
