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.

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.
We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

SW RND 229 128.5
This will be a round of food danger for me. We’re going to southern Illinois where everything has added sugar - LOTS of added sugar. I will weigh on the first day and then head to the airport. I will be without a scale until the 20th.
7/11 128.0 We’re on the plane headed to St Louis and southern Illinois. No scale until the 20th when we get back home. I’m also going without my Keto Mojo until then.
7/12 DNW Finally ate at destination and splurge on all things. Margarita and chimichanga, no rice or beans. Because of time zone changes we were on my OMAD schedule.
7/13 DNW Day 2 of reunion trip. We ate lunch at our favorite local BBQ place and have decided our place in Las Vegas is better. OMAD at noon was pork chop and 8 corn nuggets - another food marked off the list as not as good as I remember it. It’s amazing how my taste has changed. Even the tiny taste of blackberry cobbler was MEH. Posting really early due to screwed up body clock/time zone switch. (Posted 12:18am 7/13)
7/14 DNW Our daughters and most of our grands arrived. It seems the local people in the younger generations aren’t interested. I doubt we’ll do this again. My 84 year old SIL is stressing over food since we are basically guessing how many will show up. And it seems she and I are doing the shopping because only 1 or 2 have said they will be coming and bring something. DD#2 and her family were delayed 2 hours leaving Las Vegas. No good when traveling with a 1 year old toddler.
7/15 DNW DH , DSIL and I agree that this will probably be the last reunion. There is only one of the original generation left and he is coming from Florida with one of DH’s cousins. The younger generation (kids around our kids age- 50s) seem to have other things to do. No one can commit time or effort to help. It’s sad.
Yesterday we took our girls to the three area cemeteries where family are buried. They made sure they are all documented on the “Find a Grave” website. Today is the reunion gathering. Clearly these activities with family are keeping me busy. I’m 4 pages behind on posts and can’t find mine from yesterday although I DID write it in my journal. DH will be waking soon and we’ll hit the road to get over to the reunion site. Food choices have not been great. It is what it is. We haven’t been here since 2016. Lots of catching up to do and many palates to satisfy.6 -

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!!!
7/15- 124 But I know it is water/bloat... even with finally starting menopause I still have several days of month os bloat, migraines and body aches. Poor me needs to slap herself out of it and embrace the day. Looking forward to ribeye tonight, my son had a bad week and is forced to come home today ( I can make any short story long) but need to exchange cars for a few days his can be serviced- I'm trying to be sorry for him but I am so happy for me. Have to prepare for my trip next week and was just told I have to have headshots done- Eeks! I have taken one good picture in my lifetime and but that was over 10 years ago and I do feel like I am lying by showing that picture still in my LinkedIn. I need to watch some videos and figure out how to look half way decent. Starting PT for my hip today after my shoulder PT - I know Saturday, who would have thought the PT would have Saturday hours. FYI - Love reading all your narratives!4 -

07/15 - 152.8 - Sodium, as expected and I'm experiencing cramps with no TOM so I imagine I'm holding on to some extra water there, too. Not worried about it. I have a weigh in Monday so I'm simply hoping to behave enough this weekend to show maintenance or even a small loss for that. Lake today, as mentioned. Goal is to limit alcohol and drink a bottle of water between every drink. Be mindful of liquid calories and balance with food. I'm giving myself grace if I don't hit 10k steps today as my Fitbit doesn't always track my steps in water like it would on land. Will focus on just moving in general.

Previous Day's Comments07/11 - I'm sore muscle-wise and I went on a very hot fire call yesterday. I'm sure I'm holding on to some water from slight dehydration plus my muscles. I still managed 90oz but not near enough after sweating for almost 2 hours in gear. I don't look as puffy as yesterday so hopefully this bloat will be gone by tomorrow. Today I did 10 rounds of fast run (almost sprint) for 60 seconds, walk/recover 30 seconds before I came to get the dogs for a cooldown walk with them. Dinner tonight will be homemade Taco Bell Crunchwrap supremes that I'm slowly getting better at making. Not sure lunch. Also have to drop off my Jeep to get worked on. Hopefully it's nothing at all. It's a busy busy day for me not even accounting for work.
07/12 - I'm holding on to something.... I'm wondering if TOM is causing me to retain water and bloat. I'm not due for several more days, but bodies are weird and who knows? I was under calorie goal yesterday and had 80oz water. I'm still a tad sore, but not as bad as yesterday so not sure I'm retaining water from that. Today my goal is 90oz, staying under calorie goal, moving every hour, and hitting 10k steps. I did my doggie walk and kettlebell workout already this morning. Lunch will be a burrito bowl with leftovers from Crunchwrap copycats last night plus some black beans (we used up all the refried beans). Not sure dinner yet. Trying to fast until lunch, if possible. Otherwise, 2 hard boiled eggs OR a salmon packet. I will pre-log what I know so far!
07/13 - Ooookay? TOM hasn't hit but it's due any point in the next 4 or so days and I'm expecting to have some water retention from that still. I logged on the high end of calories for the day, as well. Maybe salt retention dropped off? I don't know, honestly. My hip is still bothering me a bit from sprints on Tuesday so I decided to do my intervals on the rower today instead. Still cardio, as planned! Took dogs for a walk after to cool down only to realize it's so hot and humid out already I didn't stop sweating or cool off at all. At least my heart rate had a chance to level out haha If we go to Fam's, it'll be curry and naan for dinner, otherwise I'm not sure. I still have enough leftovers for another burrito bowl for lunch today. As usual, will pre-log what I can
07/14 - I somehow forgot to weigh this morning until AFTER I had my coffee and went on a walk. Oops! I'm still shocked at this weigh in. No TOM yet, either. Tomorrow may be higher as we just ate out at an Asian restaurant and sodium was plentiful. Also going on the lake tomorrow so depending on when I wake up vs when everyone else does, I may not be able to check in. Will see. Didn't hit step goal as SD wanted to play a couple rounds of rummy and I sat through that. Today I'll hit goal.

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.
7/15: 316.8 ⬇️ {-1.4 lbs} Surprised by this drop. I know it's probably mostly water loss, still I'll take whatever loss I can get.

It was so delicious! I only had a bite but the family devoured it. Noticing that when I’m off I typically lose weight the next day.

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.
7/15 - Really bad air quality yesterday. Did as little as humanly possible.

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.
Previous Round Stats.R228 My 1st Start 190.0 End 190.8
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.

I'm guess that is the factor producing the two numbers. Just funny/odd because the computer vs mobile software must be doing different mathematics.1 -

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!

SW: 125.8
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 reasonably 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.

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.
7/15 - 183
Salt from carry-out lunch. Calories were fine. It’s a nice rainy day, so my garden is happy (including the weeds!) and I’m getting caught up on some indoor things. My distance vision is very fuzzy since my prescription is off now post-cataract-surgery. Also, weirdly, I didn’t realize until now that my glasses have a slight yellow tint. I don’t like it! 🤪 Anyway, planning a quiet Saturday, getting a few things done. I hope you all have a lovely day!

07/15-114.9 I have been discussing with a historical Society in Maine to edit, print and sell my book on Amazon. I will send them the final draft by the end of Aug.-I am stoked to get the story out there and provide the proceeds to a non-profit. In Sept. I will start a new project- so excited.
@Machias1949 Author Stephen King will probably read your book for historical research on the great state of Maine since so many of his novels are set there. How exciting! What is your idea/plan for the September project?4 -
Round 229
MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
ROUND 186 FOR ME.
“Today….I am choosing Me”
MY STATS:
Highest weight ever (05-10-2016): 253
Original starting weight on MFP: (01-11-2018) 235.0
R228 EW= 194.4
R229 EW= TBD
Current New Goals:
Weight:
Short Term Goal: To weigh less at the end of this round than I did at the end of the last round.
Final goal: 145-155. We’ll see how I look & feel when I get there.
Exercise: Move 30 minutes per day rotating activity.
Mini challenge: My monthly goal is always about 5 pounds per month. HOWEVER, I never seem to make that. I will continue to keep that goal because it Should Be achievable (even though it is not for me) but never say
never, right? So, Between Independence Day Holiday (July 4th) and Labor Day Holiday (Sept 4th) I will weigh somewhere, ANYWHERE in the 180’s. I don’t care if it’s on the brim. I’ve got to start getting further away from the 200’s again! Starting Weight on 7/4 is 195.4.
COLOR CODE: Fuchsia is a Happy Weight Loss for me. Blue is a sad weight gain.Black is no change.

07/10 …..194.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/11 -197.8- (Trend weight 196.5)
07/12 -196.4- (Trend weight 196.5)
07/13 -195.2- (Trend weight 196.4)
07/14 -196.8- (Trend weight 196.4) My bulging scale is due to dessert I should not have had. Meals were good but my movement/exercise was non-existent expect for a few minutes of strength training. I literally ran all day on errands. DGS got to my house about 8:30 pm and spent the night for me to watch him today so there will be lots of stairs. On another note: I was reading this morning the autopsy results regarding the death of Lisa Marie Presley. Complications from scar tissue from her bariatric surgery a few years back. When was she overweight enough for weight loss surgery? I know there is some pretty special criteria for those surgeries including BMI and multiple morbidity conditions that are often required. I just don’t recall her being in a state that would qualify her. Thoughts?
07/15 -196.8- (Trend weight 196.4) No real progress due to some “iffy” choices. Good on calories but too high on carbs. I babysat all day which meant that I made lots of steps and plenty of stairs. I also added gold’s gym ankle weights to my wrists to increase my hand weights to a total of 3 ½ pounds each. That is 2 lb hand weights and 1.5 each wrist weights. I only biked for about 11 minutes because it was very late.
