@miscanon3617 - safe travels to you as well!! I have never been on a plane where I needed to be weighed first. That might possibly end all air travel for me.
@SModa61 - that is so incredibly stressful! I have no words of comfort, just know I am hoping that you can get through this period quickly!! Amazing what the geriatric psychiatrist said vs what the geriatric PCP knew. Don't forget to breathe. Sending another big hug!!
@SheilaBoneham - "if you eat what you don't really want and certainly don't need, you're wasting both the food and yourself." YES!!! Putting that on a post-it and sticking it to the fridge!!
@BringIt2023 Sad that I have no idea about your lovely notes to the other members as I have not been able to read posts.
Anyhow, again thanks for your well wishes and I am so sorry that you have gone through this before me. I should have said that in my original reply. My mind is all over the place.....

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.

SW RND 229 138.8
7/11 138.8 – 9.4 miles walked, no exercise calories eaten back. A good start to the round, now to stay under 139!
7/12 138.8 – 8.79 miles walked, a third of exercise calories eaten back.
7/13 139.8 – 11.07 miles walked, all exercise calories eaten back. Hopefully this is last nights pasta dish (high in carbs) – left overs for tonight.
7/14 141 – uggh!!! No structured walking as childminding day for little DGS, ate over calories!
7/15 142.4 - 2 days binge totally wipes out 6 days of sticking to plan; now I have more ground to make up to my holidays, when will I learn!!?? 57 days to holiday and twice as much to lose as I had on Wednesday. No structured walking as persistent rain all day, but 2 hours of dancing yesterday evening, stopped only to visit the Ladies !! I’m starting again today!! Try to salvage something from the round.
7/16 141 – Food & drink was text book which shows on the scales, but again no structured walking due to weather; we normally walk to see MIL and then walk for a further 7+ miles, but due to the rain we took the car and then went on to town to do some errands which we had been putting off whilst enjoying the dry weather & then chores at home on return, so a productive day. Today will be more of a challenge as we travel up to DS for lunch but, looking forward to seeing him & family.
7/17 140 – stayed on track with portion control at DS’s, and didn’t feel hungry for the rest of the day so only a pear & banana eaten at tea time after the return journey home. Only 38 minutes of structured walking managed, 113 calories over.
7/18 139.4 – down below end of last round weight. 10.92 miles walked, less than 10% exercise calories eaten back. Now to keep this 3 day consistently going, would like to end round below start weight. 2 days to go.
7/19 139.8 – 9.51 miles walked 40% exercise calories eaten back.
7/20 140.2 – disappointed with this as round final weigh, but it it what it is! 10.98 miles walked, 5/8 exercise calories eaten back. 0.6 pounds up on the end of last round, five days binge free, need to not let that allow me to ease up !
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!!

Jen; 46; 5'4"
About Me: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).
7/12 - 287.0 - 1.07 miles - cut back on my walk today to start giving my legs a bit of a rest and tried to really focus on eating well. Had a delicious sandwich for lunch with lots of healthy stuff on the side (grape tomatoes, baby carrots and a pickle) then had extra meat with dinner and still came in under enough that I could have some popcorn if I wanted (which I'm considering as I'm finally sitting down to watch a show that caught my eye the other day... I haven't watched TV in months)
7/13 - 286.8 - 1.22 miles - a little bit longer walk but at a much slower pace. Didn't feel so worn out after. Managed to only snack on some healthy stuff (okay, there were 8 rice chips thrown in but otherwise just carrots). I feel good about today.
7/14 - 286.2 - 1.38 miles - today is my youngest son's 13th birthday. I no longer have children... only teens and young adults. Sigh. I spent over three hours in the kitchen making pizza for dinner. My feet are so sore I can't even sit still from the pain. I cleaned up the mess from cooking but still need to put all of the pizza in the fridge and clean the counters where they were cut. Also had to clean up an entire spilled cup of lemonade (ugh) and then we did cake before I went to sit down. Ate 3 slices of pizza and had a small slice of carrot cake (no idea how many calories that had, forgot to weigh it because I was so tired and sore). I inputted my pizza into MFP as best I could and somehow managed to come under my calorie limit somehow. But that didn't include the cake. I did better than I thought I would. Pizza is one of my weaknesses. I just love it. Especially cold for breakfast the next day so I'm going to have to resist the urge to eat more tomorrow but then I feel like I did all that work and I get just 3 slices... one for each hour I worked. Oh well. I'm looking forward to having some more leftover pork roast, rice and mushrooms for dinner tomorrow night. Yum.
7/15 - 287.0 - 1.12 miles - I was up .8lbs from yesterday thanks to the pizza and cake, but it was well worth it. Even had a couple smaller slices of pizza for lunch today along with half of a sausage sandwich for breakfast that my grandson didn't get a chance to finish before he left for his dad's house and a filling dinner of pork roast, rice, mushrooms and broccoli and still had room calorie-wise for a tiny bowl of low-cal ice cream. I found a new walking route that seemed a little easier in regards to elevation changes (the walk uphill on the way home was killing me with my normal route). I just got out too late today to go any farther because it was already getting super hot after 15 minutes outside so I turned around pretty quick. I also finally got my laundry done as I was running out of clean everything but any time I thought about putting laundry in, someone (there are 6 other people in the house) beat me to it.
7/16 - 286.4 - 1.36 miles - And I recovered nicely from my pizza escapades, lol. I still have enough sauce for one more pizza so might make another one for lunch one of these days. I'm almost out of pork roast, though, and it's been the most filling thing I've been eating. Not sure what I'll when it's gone other than make myself another roast (have another package in the freezer so that's doable).
7/17 - 284.6 - 1.44 miles - Well, I'm out of pork roast (someone ate half of what I had left so I only had enough for lunch today). Not sure what I'm going to eat now that will really fill me up without adding a ton of calories. I made turkey tacos last night. I could have two small tacos but it barely felt filling so I had some popcorn later in the night (I had the calories to give). Tonight I had a turkey/chicken/provolone sandwich but someone ate all of my chicken slices (had 1/2 of one slice left) and I'm almost out of sliced turkey, too. No one else seems interested in eating the tacos, so I'll be forced to eat them all so they don't get thrown away. It's going to take me a full week while I'll also have to cook other meals for my husband and kids to eat. It's a constant struggle in this house...I cook big meals for my big family, everyone refuses to eat it, and I'm expected to eat the leftovers because I was the one that cooked them and my husband gets mad if they're thrown away. It's one of the reasons my weight got so out of control in the first place--I was constantly stuffing my face with huge portions of leftovers before they had to be thrown out. Sigh.
7/18 - 284.6 - 1.41 miles - No change in weight today which is better than going up so there's that. I've also officially hit my goal for this round! I'm under 285lbs. Had a nice walk this morning before it got too hot and I managed to get some chores done including the dishes and cleaning up my whole room, washing bedding and cleaning up the bathroom some. I feel like I actually accomplished something today. Now I just need to drag the vacuum upstairs to finally do my floors. My grandson stays with me a few days out of the week and eats in my room and just gets crumbs everywhere. It's gotten really bad but I didn't have the energy to pick everything up to vacuum until today. I just noticed my youngest daughter cleaning the bathroom so maybe she'll decide to vacuum her room and/or the hallway and I won't have to get the vacuum myself, lol.
7/19 - 282.0 - 1.33 miles - Was smokey this morning on my walk from a fire an hour north of us. Then I had to spend the last few hours combing my daughter's very long, thick hair for lice. Ugh. My meds give me RLS and it's now kicked in and I can't sit still to finish up my tasks I didn't get to do because of the hair thing. On a brighter note, I finally thought up a plot for a book/story after not being able to come up with new ideas in years. I brainstormed it for hours today, and it felt really great to get a small part of my creativity back which seemed to disappear once my bipolar was stabilized.

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!

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.
7/15- (Mass) – 123.0 (Renpho 122.8)
7/16- (Mass) – 123.4 (Renpho 123.2) Crazy busy. Sis is staying with me and we are working with my parents to de-hoard their house. They have been out of it since Nov 2021. It is ridiculous what is inside. Back there again today. Later this week, it will fall upon me to transport everything to recycling and/or trash. It will take multiple trips with my SUV.
7/17- (Mass) – 123.2 (Renpho 123.2) Sister flies home in an hour (it is now 6 am). I thoroughly expected to have struggled to stay under 126 with a guest in the home and uncontrolled obligations. I guess I am glad to have been wrong. My exercise is sadly falling apart over the summer (I think I said that already). That happened in 2021 as well. It is very disappointing. I had planned for summer to be my chance to step up my game, not backslide. Calorie aspect, is holding on …….. for now. I keep remembering 2021 falling apart which turned into the gain I addressed with you all from Jan to May. These posts are great in that I take a minute to sit and put in words where I am at. Thanks all!!
7/18- (Mass) – 124.2 (Renpho 124.0) Spent most of the day organizing and prepping notes for my parents three Dr appointments today, and one tomorrow. Putting together all their medication lists, issues/complaints and the like. In addition, today my mother, for the first time, is seeing a Geriatric psychiatrist to get his views on what we see as dementia developing. He is a lead researcher at a top US hospital and my daughter’s boss. My mom is getting to “cut the line” to see him. Consequently, I do not want to waste a minute of his time. Oh, my mother has no idea of the real reason (dementia) that she is meeting with him. Anyhow, box of chocolates and last ¾ of container of Bryers ice cream are both gone, from late last night. Unfortunately that still happens, but fine if stays occasional.
7/19- (Mass) – 122.6 (Renpho 122.4) One possible outcome from a difficult day. Morning started rough but went amazingly well. Mom got overtired and the PCP appointments were challenging to handle, then the PCP had my father whisked away by ambulance to the ER. Consequently I now needed to take on new obligations for my mother. THEN my older sister calls and is second guessing all the medical decisions of the doctors. It got ridiculous enough that I hung up the phone on her. I couldn’t take another minute. Overnight, the word is my father will be in the hospital “several days”. My mother is going to be a mess.
Apologies to all, I am finding it challenging to read group posts this last days. I hope to catch up soon. I do see those posts that I am tagged in.
7/20- (Mass) – 122.6 (Renpho 122.4) Certainly not the weight I expected at the end of the round, but will hopefully make my challenges of the next round easier. Assuming my parents remain stable for the next few days I will be in Maine for a bit for a 32nd birthday weekend for my daughter. It is also her last “out of state” hurrah before her August 19th due date. Trying to make it happen. It has been planned for a while.6 -

7/11 – 141.8 lbs. Up -- lbs this round and 6.8 lbs to goal; 62/228 miles for July.
7/12 – 141.8 lbs. Up -- lbs this round and 6.8 lbs to goal; 67/228 miles for July. My weight is creeping up and it is starting to worry me. Hubby is still home (likely till 17th) and we have been eating out a lot and having lots of treats! I have not been logging but have continued to weigh myself to keep track of the damage. I think I’m ready to start paying attention again…. Here’s hoping! I finally sent in my resignation to the job that has been making me feel so useless these past several months. I am not leaving government but I will be returning to my “home” position. This is kind of giving myself a “demotion” but I honestly was a lot happier at my old position. Time to make a change. I am taking a medical leave until they figure out the details of when I can go back to my old position. I am really looking forward to returning to my old job where I felt helpful and valued and that my opinions and recommendations were respected and supported. This “learning experience” at the more senior level has been an abject failure, but I am feeling okay with that, at this point. Live and learn, right? Wanted to give a HUGE thank you to those who left me messages of support regarding my 1 year of sobriety. I really appreciated that! The official day is July 28th, so a few more days. 😊 Also, a couple of you left messages of thanks to me for sharing the coping strategies that I’ve learned. I am happy to share what I know! Please private message me any time if you’d like to talk about dealing with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts/ideation, recovery from childhood sexual/physical/emotional trauma, C-PTSD, BPD, fibromyalgia, addiction, coping strategies, breathing techniques, meditation, mindfulness, medication, DBT, etc. I am no expert but I have gone through a butt-load of counselling and therapy over the years. LOL! Sometimes it is just helpful to talk things out with a stranger. 😊
7/13 – 140.6 lbs. Down 1.2 lbs this round and 5.6 lbs to goal; 69/228 miles for July. I am SUPER behind on my steps goal for this month. Holy heck. I better get at er! Thankfully my weight is down slightly. I was able to track my calories all day yesterday and only went over my goal by 46 cals, so I am not too distressed by that. Found out yesterday that they hope to get me back to work (at my “more junior” position) on July 24th, so I’m looking forward to that, even though it might be a bit awkward. (“Hi guys! I’m back! I failed at the job that I have wanted since I came to government! The only reason I got into government to begin with! Yeah, nice to see you too!”) Oh well, not much I can do. I just sucked at that job, and/or wasn’t trained or supported properly. I am sure I am not the only one who ever tried a new job and sucked at it!
7/14 – 139.8 lbs. Down 2 lbs this round and 4.8 lbs to goal; 72/228 miles for July.
7/15 – 140 lbs. Down 1.8 lbs this round and 5 lbs to goal; 76/228 miles for July. Wow, I am really sucking at walking this month! I am not sure what is wrong, but my hubby is home so I am getting him to walk the dog a lot while I do other things such as cook, clean, nap, shower, etc. It is a nice break, I’ll admit, but it is probably better for my overall health (physical and mental) for me to be walking. I need to get back into some sort of routine anyway, since I will go back to work on the 24th (including 3 days in the office in Toronto – a 90 min train+subway commute for me). I need to figure out a way to get my steps in on those days I do go to the office. I could walk to my office instead of taking the subway. I think it is about a 30 min walk for me (I forget, it’s been a long time!) so if I did both ways that would be something. And then I would need to walk my dog when I got home after work (the dog walker comes twice a day for him, FYI).
7/16 – 139.4 lbs. Down 2.4 lbs this round and 4.4 lbs to goal; 81.88/228 miles for July.
7/17 – 139.6 lbs. Down 2.2 lbs this round and 4.6 lbs to goal; 90.51/228 miles for July.
7/18 – 137.2 lbs. Down 4.6 lbs this round and 2.2 lbs to goal; 98.75/228 miles for July.
7/19 – 136.4 lbs. Down 5.4 lbs this round and 1.4 lbs to goal; 109.3/228 miles for July. Guess I am making up for the huge gain I had last round. Lol.
7/20 – 135.2 lbs. Down 6.6 lbs this round and 0.2 lbs to goal; 119.87/228 miles for July. Sorry I have not been following along! Thanks to all who have been providing me with encouraging messages. I really, really appreciate you, even if I have not had time to respond appropriately. I have been very busy having fun with hubby who has been home for a nice, long, much-deserved vacation. We had a great time! As of yesterday he is off to San Diego again. I have noticed that I have been sticking around 135-140ish for the last month or so. I am pretty happy with that – if I can maintain it!! This has not involved an excessive amount of exercise and also I have not been obsessing over calorie intake (some eating out at restaurants, etc. without panicking about calories). I track closely some days and some days I don’t track at all. For example, I went to my sister’s for dinner and I knew we were having lasagna, Caesar salad and garlic bread, plus black forest cake for dessert. LOL. I realized I was not going to want to obsess over how many calories I was eating so I decided to not bother tracking and I also accepted the fact that the scale might be up the next day but that I would just commit to getting back to my regular eating/exercise the next day without panicking, and that is exactly what I did. I was able to enjoy the meal, I was present with my loved ones, we joked and laughed and I was not at all anxious. I really enjoyed the cake; I ate until I was full and then gave the rest to hubby. I am going to say this was a fabulous success, for me, and I am still amazed at how “healthy” my attitude has been of late. The next day I did not “punish” myself with exercise or try to restrict my calories excessively to “make up for it”. I just did my usual stuff. My mind is really blown, honestly. I am not sure, after decades of bingeing and restricting (my mother placed me on caffeine pills and started me on my first of many tuna and lettuce diets when I was 11) how I am able to come to this place of peace. Thank the deity of your choice for trauma therapy, I guess!! LOL. Anyway, I am off to walk the dog. Is anyone able to give me the link for the next round? Have a wonderful day, everyone! 😊

07/20 - 152.2 - Pasta dinner. A very weird recipe but delicious. Lots of cheese, lots of pasta, so, inevitably, lots of gain. I'm simply happy that the "lots of gain" wasn't actually a significant amount. I don't look as bloated as I expected, either, so I'm happy about that. I'm reading "French Women Don't Get Fat" (by Mireille Guiliano) right now because it's all about mindset and how you frame things mentally. I've been wanting to read it for awhile but I got some Kindle points that were expiring so I went ahead and bought it to go on this trip with since I finished all my other e-books (too much of a hassle to take my bulky hardcover I'm reading). I'm only on page 57 (of 246) but already I can start to see and understand the mindset shift she's referring to. I'm hoping to implement part of that this weekend. Part one was spend 3 weeks logging EVERYTHING and then look at the "offenders" (things that aren't mindfully eaten or eaten out of habit, not necessarily pleasure, or eaten without abandon - like a bag of chips and suddenly you finish it going "where did that go?!"). Well, I've been logging everything for months so I got plenty of data to start me out. This is a test as I'm eating out for 3 days straight starting later today and I don't want to gain but I want to enjoy the places we are going (which were scouted, planned out, and reservations made ahead of time because they're so good it requires one). I'll see you on Sunday! Have a wonderful weekend
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.
07/15 - 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.
07/16 - I didn't get a chance, I had a whiny puppy waiting so I made my escape from the bedroom as quickly and quietly as I could with the pup in tow so I didn't disturb BF. I didn't want to see the damage anyway, I'm so beyond bloated. I chugged a bottle of water this morning, though, and felt instantly better so it was a mild dehydration feeling through the night, but noticeable enough to make my sleep restless. I'm feeling quite bloated. TOM did start so I'm hoping I can drop off this hormonal, sodium, AND dehydration bloat by weigh-in tomorrow. Also hoping to have nice drop by the end of this round as I leave Thursday to go to a concert out of town. We won't be back until Saturday and I'd like to have to battle only the 2 1/2 days of eating out versus a full week's worth of damage.
07/17 - That hurts. I'm so beyond bloated. FamWife made my favorite broccoli slaw and then a new bean recipe she found. I'm guessing all that fiber is what's holding me up. It did, however, help with TMI which is always a struggle around TOM, but unfortunately after I already weighed and drank a ton of water and my coffee. Also had smoked pork loin and a cinnamon apple cupcake (minus the frosting) SD made. All good on water intake and hit 10k steps. I did my kettlebell workout as well as a walk with the pups already this morning. I'm very hungry so I'm eating broccoli slaw for breakfast and I have more slaw to eat on for lunches as well as more pork loin and bean dip.
07/18 - A bit of a drop. I don't have high hopes of hitting my goal of 151.x this round and next round starting off out of town. I'm going to keep trying and sticking to my healthy habits as best I can and hope for the best. Today I did a rowing interval for 15 minutes and then took the dogs for a very slow, relaxing cool down walk. Dinner will be homemade chicken enchiladas and lunch is leftovers, which I've already pre-logged. Hopefully I remember to take my lactose pills to offset all that cheese BF likes to put in his enchiladas (which will also help with bloat).
07/19 - Shocked as my tummy looks huge and feels quite squishy and not in the bloated type of way. I did remember to take my lactose pills to help offset all the cheese from last night so that's probably helping with the weight. I tried my best to overestimate calories and I was under by nearly 300 but that should make up for anything I didn't estimate properly (which would mostly be dinner). I have Sunday's leftovers still for lunch today which I've already logged. BF said something about some kind of pasta dinner recipe he wants to try so I'm going to try my best to fast until lunch to help offset that. I completed my kettlebell workout with an extra round since it's beginning to feel easy. I'll continue upping reps and rounds as it gets easier until I complete the workout on the app. Also took the dogs on a nice easy relaxing walk. Now to focus on moving every hour and hitting 10k steps!5 -
Anyway, I am off to walk the dog. Is anyone able to give me the link for the next round? Have a wonderful day, everyone! 😊
Here you go! Have a wonderful day as well (:

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!
7/16 - 183.6
I had a snack fest last night. Sigh. I don’t know what got into me, but I ate and ate. I’ll try to do better today.
7/17 - 183.4
Better yesterday. 😇 I also moved more despite the bad air. Took Booker for a walk, and we did a half hour of scent work training, which isn’t terribly active but does involve bending and lifting as well as walking, so better than sitting around. We start back to doggy school classes today—yay! Brain work for adolescent puppy = quieter evenings! Plus more moving for me.
7/18 - 183
Nothing to report. 😊
7/19 - 183.8
What? Has to be salt and/or delayed reaction, because I was well under calories. Ok, tomorrow….
7/20 - 183
Ok, not where I want to be, but better than last round.

7/11 – 141.8 lbs. Up -- lbs this round and 6.8 lbs to goal; 62/228 miles for July.
7/12 – 141.8 lbs. Up -- lbs this round and 6.8 lbs to goal; 67/228 miles for July. My weight is creeping up and it is starting to worry me. Hubby is still home (likely till 17th) and we have been eating out a lot and having lots of treats! I have not been logging but have continued to weigh myself to keep track of the damage. I think I’m ready to start paying attention again…. Here’s hoping! I finally sent in my resignation to the job that has been making me feel so useless these past several months. I am not leaving government but I will be returning to my “home” position. This is kind of giving myself a “demotion” but I honestly was a lot happier at my old position. Time to make a change. I am taking a medical leave until they figure out the details of when I can go back to my old position. I am really looking forward to returning to my old job where I felt helpful and valued and that my opinions and recommendations were respected and supported. This “learning experience” at the more senior level has been an abject failure, but I am feeling okay with that, at this point. Live and learn, right? Wanted to give a HUGE thank you to those who left me messages of support regarding my 1 year of sobriety. I really appreciated that! The official day is July 28th, so a few more days. 😊 Also, a couple of you left messages of thanks to me for sharing the coping strategies that I’ve learned. I am happy to share what I know! Please private message me any time if you’d like to talk about dealing with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts/ideation, recovery from childhood sexual/physical/emotional trauma, C-PTSD, BPD, fibromyalgia, addiction, coping strategies, breathing techniques, meditation, mindfulness, medication, DBT, etc. I am no expert but I have gone through a butt-load of counselling and therapy over the years. LOL! Sometimes it is just helpful to talk things out with a stranger. 😊
7/13 – 140.6 lbs. Down 1.2 lbs this round and 5.6 lbs to goal; 69/228 miles for July. I am SUPER behind on my steps goal for this month. Holy heck. I better get at er! Thankfully my weight is down slightly. I was able to track my calories all day yesterday and only went over my goal by 46 cals, so I am not too distressed by that. Found out yesterday that they hope to get me back to work (at my “more junior” position) on July 24th, so I’m looking forward to that, even though it might be a bit awkward. (“Hi guys! I’m back! I failed at the job that I have wanted since I came to government! The only reason I got into government to begin with! Yeah, nice to see you too!”) Oh well, not much I can do. I just sucked at that job, and/or wasn’t trained or supported properly. I am sure I am not the only one who ever tried a new job and sucked at it!
7/14 – 139.8 lbs. Down 2 lbs this round and 4.8 lbs to goal; 72/228 miles for July.
7/15 – 140 lbs. Down 1.8 lbs this round and 5 lbs to goal; 76/228 miles for July. Wow, I am really sucking at walking this month! I am not sure what is wrong, but my hubby is home so I am getting him to walk the dog a lot while I do other things such as cook, clean, nap, shower, etc. It is a nice break, I’ll admit, but it is probably better for my overall health (physical and mental) for me to be walking. I need to get back into some sort of routine anyway, since I will go back to work on the 24th (including 3 days in the office in Toronto – a 90 min train+subway commute for me). I need to figure out a way to get my steps in on those days I do go to the office. I could walk to my office instead of taking the subway. I think it is about a 30 min walk for me (I forget, it’s been a long time!) so if I did both ways that would be something. And then I would need to walk my dog when I got home after work (the dog walker comes twice a day for him, FYI).
7/16 – 139.4 lbs. Down 2.4 lbs this round and 4.4 lbs to goal; 81.88/228 miles for July.
7/17 – 139.6 lbs. Down 2.2 lbs this round and 4.6 lbs to goal; 90.51/228 miles for July.
7/18 – 137.2 lbs. Down 4.6 lbs this round and 2.2 lbs to goal; 98.75/228 miles for July.
7/19 – 136.4 lbs. Down 5.4 lbs this round and 1.4 lbs to goal; 109.3/228 miles for July. Guess I am making up for the huge gain I had last round. Lol.
7/20 – 135.2 lbs. Down 6.6 lbs this round and 0.2 lbs to goal; 119.87/228 miles for July. Sorry I have not been following along! Thanks to all who have been providing me with encouraging messages. I really, really appreciate you, even if I have not had time to respond appropriately. I have been very busy having fun with hubby who has been home for a nice, long, much-deserved vacation. We had a great time! As of yesterday he is off to San Diego again. I have noticed that I have been sticking around 135-140ish for the last month or so. I am pretty happy with that – if I can maintain it!! This has not involved an excessive amount of exercise and also I have not been obsessing over calorie intake (some eating out at restaurants, etc. without panicking about calories). I track closely some days and some days I don’t track at all. For example, I went to my sister’s for dinner and I knew we were having lasagna, Caesar salad and garlic bread, plus black forest cake for dessert. LOL. I realized I was not going to want to obsess over how many calories I was eating so I decided to not bother tracking and I also accepted the fact that the scale might be up the next day but that I would just commit to getting back to my regular eating/exercise the next day without panicking, and that is exactly what I did. I was able to enjoy the meal, I was present with my loved ones, we joked and laughed and I was not at all anxious. I really enjoyed the cake; I ate until I was full and then gave the rest to hubby. I am going to say this was a fabulous success, for me, and I am still amazed at how “healthy” my attitude has been of late. The next day I did not “punish” myself with exercise or try to restrict my calories excessively to “make up for it”. I just did my usual stuff. My mind is really blown, honestly. I am not sure, after decades of bingeing and restricting (my mother placed me on caffeine pills and started me on my first of many tuna and lettuce diets when I was 11) how I am able to come to this place of peace. Thank the deity of your choice for trauma therapy, I guess!! LOL. Anyway, I am off to walk the dog. Is anyone able to give me the link for the next round? Have a wonderful day, everyone! 😊
I think that pretty much sums up what this lifestyle change is all about! Congrats on your success and great attitude about what you're eating! I always had body image issues growing up ever since a cheerleading coach called me "solid", which I know now she didn't mean in a bad way but as a child it really impacted me! I've learned to not comment on children's body types and I will never put my kids on any kind of diet.5 -
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. However, 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.
7/12 - 127. Phew. I did a little better yesterday but still need to rein it in. I walked the dogs this morning and will lift during lunchtime. I'm finishing up a beginner strength program this week and will need to figure out what's next on that front soon!
7/13 - 126.8. Alright, maybe it wasn't as much water as I thought. If I want to see this weight go away I'm going to have to do a little more work in the kitchen. I haven't tracked any food in quite a while, and I haven't done any extended fasts (20+ hours) in weeks. I think today I'll do an extended fast since we have dinner plans at a brewery to see a musician we like play. I have interval work on the treadmill planned. Have a great day everyone!

7/17 - 128.0, ugh! I can't seem to up my exercise and watch my calorie intake at the same time. Our house has been ice cream central lately, and I can't seem to resist. I also made a cake with caramel frosting for my mom on Friday and indulged in too much of that. Thankfully it's gone now. On the positive side I did run 5 miles yesterday and followed my first week of half marathon training to a T, but I am on an extreme "see food" diet. Today I will walk the dogs and do the strength training on my schedule, and stay out of the kitchen!
7/18 - 128.4 boy oh boy. I did better with snacking yesterday but we had pizza and wings for dinner.
7/19 - 128.0. My two goals for today are to drink a gallon of water and track my calories. I also have to lift weights and walk the dogs. Yesterday I did a 4-mile treadmill run but then I took my family to a blueberry pie competition. Delicious but not ideal for getting back into my maintenance range! I guess I'll have to get to that next round since there's no way I'm going to be 3 pounds lighter tomorrow no matter what today looks like. Ah well, good to know what lies ahead I suppose.
7/20 - 127.4. Wellll at least I got back to my round start weight I guess! I did manage to track yesterday, and I way way increased my water intake. I don't think I reached a gallon, but I had at least 4 refills of my 24-oz bottle. Today I'll have the same goals, tracking and lots of water. My workout today is running intervals, and I may add in a little yoga. I did a workout focused on chest, shoulders, and triceps yesterday and could use a good stretch. Even light weights are so hard when working small muscles with lots of reps! Anyway, see everyone in the next round!6 -

My goal was to maintain in round 228 which included the Holiday and 6 days of vacation. I gained 1lb! For 229, I am looking to get back on track and hopefully see my lowest weight since doing these rounds.

7/11 ~ Vacation
7/12 ~ Vacation
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!
7/15 215.5 ~ Post vacation there was nothing at home to eat that was good for me. Originally I was supposed to fast for 20 hours and resume eating on Saturday but that didn't happen. Ended up with a frozen pizza and there must have been a lot of sodium and I probably didn't drink all my water.
7/16 DNW
7/17 214.5 ~ Ok, definitely sodium. Yesterday I was a MAJOR couch potato. working hard today to get back on track.
7/18 214.4
7/19 214.6
7/20 215.2 ~ Not the right direction! Got to get back on track next week.....
Well I had taken my dog to the vet because he had been acting weird. Long story short - his diagnosis - Diabetes and Keto Acidosis which is pretty fatal for dogs. I had to put my 14 year old buddy to sleep Tuesday. It was a sad day and cooking and eating healthy was not on the agenda.
Long Story....
We picked up Yoda (my 14 year old Puggle) from boarding Thursday evening. He didn't eat much then but he normally has an adjustment period after coming home. I really didn't pay attention on Friday as I was at work and my husband couldn't recall if he was "different" then.
Saturday - I put down food and took him out and noticed that he had not eaten his food. Unheard of for my dog! But he was drinking water like crazy...so much that I had to take the bowl away. And as you can guess, with all the water came the need to pee, and not always outside. Sunday, it was more of the same. We brough his puppy crate upstairs and started to crate him when we couldn't be right by his side.
Monday - I called the vet but they said they couldn't see him until Tuesday. Monday was the same and Tuesday seemed a bit better but...still not normal.
Yoda was diagnosed with having diabetes complicated by Keto acidosis, which is fatal in dogs.
Options presented:
A. Transfer to 24 hour facility to give him short term acting insulin and then we would need to continue with giving him injections twice a day once he's stabilized.
In 5 to 6 months he's probably be blind. The initial cost $5,000 - not including ongoing cost
B. Do nothing - He would probably die in a couple of days
C. Euthanize him - put him to sleep, today
It was a difficult decision but he was 14 years old and pretty much at his max.
I didn't want him to suffer or die at home.
I chose option C
I told them I would come and get him at 3:00 to spend some time with him and then we would be back at 4.
My husband drove me and I had him stop by McDonalds and got a cheese burger and fries for Yoda. I brought water and his bowl from home.
I wished I had brought more water and a blanket for him.
Went in to get him and when we were going outside, he still remembered to stop for a treat... (that's my Yoda).
We sat outside and he actually ate the people food. He wouldn't eat his food but treats and people food were acceptable!
The tough part - other than watching him be super thirsty and constantly peeing...he still seemed like normal Yoda. It's so much easier (keeping things in context) when they are lethargic and in obvious pain. He clearly was not.
The doctor assured me that in this case, we were making the best decision for Yoda.
So...it happened.
Very sad. The house seems so empty.
Here's a couple of pictures
The first one is one of his last shenanigans a couple of months ago. I was cleaning and through away some close hangers. He went dumpster diving. This is what I was greeting with when I returned from an errand. Scared me and I thought something was really wrong. The second one is one of his puppy pictures.

I’m so sorry about the loss of your friend. Losing a pet is heartbreaking. It’s the cost we pay for the love we share with them. 2 -
