@itladyee The Malibu Barbie of course (even tho I'm from the midwest.) I actually played with her in the earlier 70's and wanted to be her lol.
BTW, I posted my nails and then heard that the movie raked in over $155 Million and is the highest profit movie by a female director in history already. All that info right after I posted my nails! Coincidence? I think not! (LOL). Have a great happy smiling and wonderful day!4 -

@tiabirdie56 Thanks Tish. I have been ranging from 194-198 mostly for months and months now. So sick and tired of losing the same couple of pounds. 193.8 was a breakthrough. A small one, but.....
Anyway, next breakthrough I hope for will be back into the 180's. Difficult but not impossible, right?5 -

SHOULD WE CURB CARBS?
@itladyee, OH! {{{hugs}}} to you. I was giving kudos to Donna, @deepwoodslady (sidetrack: BTW ❤️ your 🥿Barbie nails) for HER breakthrough.
@SheilaBoneham, I do agree with @fmfdfa2020 about trying calorie cycling. Your body gets used to the same amount of calories everyday, so you have to shake it up. That is sort of what I have been doing, but it's not a plan. It's a mixture of calorie cycling, (definitely not planned, because it depends on my hunger), carb cycling (naturally lowering the calories) and IF.
@tiabirdie56 This past week I have been doing the zigzag diet to break my weight pattern and get a breakthrough to a new number. I think it is similar to calorie cycling. I've also zig zagged my carbs too. I looked it up on the internet a few weeks ago and saw how it's done. Basically you still eat the same amount of calories (and carbs if you're counting) in a week, but they are zigzagged higher and lower to trick your metabolism and get it moving. It's mainly designed to break plateau's. My normal calories I am trying to adhere to is 1400, so I have 3 days of 1400, One day of 1275, One day of 1520, One day of 1600 and one day of 1050. My carbs zig zag too and run between 64 and 75. My normal 1400 cal day is with 70 carbs. The beautiful thing is that it doesn't matter what order you eat them in. If you have a day when you are eating out at a restaurant, or a special occasion or a food you are craving (or making the family) you can choose that to be your higher day, even if the day before was also a higher day. It has done well for me so far this week. The calorie/carb swings do not appear to be making me gain a lot of weight on the higher days. The jury is still out, but I'm happy so far. I am not sure yet if this is something I should do all the time, or keep for a secret weapon when I begin stalling. It was designed to break a plateau. The main take is that you don't take in a zillion calories on the high days and cause a weight gain that could take weeks to lose. Let me know if you (or anyone) researches it and finds out anything else interesting on it.2 -
Round 230
MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
ROUND 187 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
R229 EW= 196.6
R230 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.

I am happy with my progress so far this round, including my trend weight. Not traveling has helped. I may have to go out of town on Thursday, however. I need to do some grocery shopping and it is supposed to be 93 degrees that day. With no air conditioning here, I would look forward to the air in the car and in the stores. Trying to be strategic.

I am aiming for the same goals I assumed for last round: eat at my calorie target and get at least 22 active minutes in per day. I usually end up with more active minutes than what I aim for but I find more intense exercise makes me hungry so I am keeping to moderate exercise until I reach goal.

SHOULD WE CURB CARBS?
@deepwoodslady ~ I zigzag my calories as well averaging 1400. Very similar to you - I start with Sunday at 1200. Monday and Tuesday at 1400, Wednesday and Thursday at 1000, Friday 1400 (but usually at 1000) and Saturday 1700. This keeps me sane and within budget for the entire week and I can have a little fun on the weekend! I've never tried zigzag for carbs...
@tiabirdie56 ~ I have to curb carbs or there will be no weight loss. Maintain maybe but no loss. I don't cut them entirely out, but try to stay on the low end. I may look into trying to zigzag to see if that works for me2 -

7/23 213.2 ~ I feel the need to skip tomorrow's weigh-in. It was a junk food day as we spent the day at the Milwaukee Brewers baseball stadium. Either my tastes have changed from eating healthier, mostly home cooked meals...or the food was just horrible. I ate anyway because I was in one of those kind of moods. Positive thoughts on board for the up coming week, except for tomorrow's weigh in!!
7/24 213.8 ~ It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be🙂
7/25 214.8 ~ Pity party ends now! I had good intensions. Lunch was more than planned but reasonable. Had an all day meeting ordered in a chicken avocado protein bowl. Donuts were brought in and I managed to ignore them until about 3 when they were still there. The plan was fish for dinner, I stopped at the store but they didn't have the fish that I wanted. I opted for ground turkey and made turkey burgers. They were really good....so I had 2 I could do worse!

Jen; 46; 5'4"
About Me:This is my second round and really appreciated the last one.
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. On July 4, 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.
Previous Rounds:
RND 229 - SW: 287.8; FW: 280.4 (-7.4)
Goals:
* track food every day
* walk for at least 30 minutes and/or 1 mile every day
* add in some strength training every day (upper body mostly)

7/21 - 279.4 - 1.38 miles - Had a bit of a big lunch with a Caesar chicken salad and half a sandwich and some white cheddar Cheetos. Then I had the last of the tilapia from last night (my daughter left me half a piece of fish), some brown rice, black bean & corn salsa and some other veggies for dinner. So even after all of that, I'm still like 600 calories under my goal according to MFP. I'm trying to decide if I want a couple mini ice cream cones or a handful of Cheetos. Decisions, decisions. Or maybe I'll sit in indecision until it's too late to eat anything. Who knows, but I'm so close to my first goal of 275lbs, I can taste it.
7/22 - 279.6 - 1.54 miles - Made breakfast for dinner because my grandson just loves sausage links. Had one and a half squares of waffle, 2 sausage links, 1 slice of bacon, a banana and 3 strawberries for dinner. Have no idea how many calories that is (haven't had a chance to input it yet). Back to being more careful tomorrow. I bought more tilapia (yay!) so I'm making that for dinner to finish up the brown rice and salsa from the other day (there are other leftovers for the rest of the family). Then I'm making burgers sometime next week so I'll have to plan carefully that day so I can enjoy a bacon cheeseburger and not go completely over. And despite the early morning heat, the 1.54 miles didn't feel that bad this morning. Can't wait for it to be a little cooler in the mornings (I left at like 8:45 and it was already 70F and the sun was blazing by the time I got home... it's in the low 90s right now).
7/23 - 279.6 - 1.38 miles - Didn't lose any weight again. Definitely been snacking a little too much lately thanks to those Cheetos. Need to get my control back. Made more tilapia for lunch and there was just enough rice and salsa to go with it. Took a relaxing bath tonight.
7/24 - 278.2 - 1.31 miles - 1 x 10 x 1 (set x rep x # of times) wall pushups - My walk was cut a little short by rain. I made burgers, fries and mac & cheese for the family and only got to have a burger on regular bread without the sides. It's the first really frustrating meal I've made where I couldn't really enjoy what was made. I snuck a few fries when I put the food away but I think I was still under my calories for the day despite that. Took out some pork roast to thaw so I'll be having that later this week.
7/25 - 278.0 - 1.8 miles - 1 x 10 x 1 wall pushups - Took an extra long walk this morning because it wasn't very hot but I somehow pulled the muscle that goes over the top of my right foot? I'm not sure but it hurts if I spend too much time on my feet so I'll probably have to take it easy the next few days. I also have to do yardwork the rest of this week which I hate. Stupid HOAs. Made more pork roast for dinner and it was so delicious and I was actually full after dinner tonight.

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 230 (my 161st). 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 52 days, I still need to crack on & lose a few pounds I’ll be needing to purchase a bigger size in holiday clothes, and I do not want to do that. So, 52 days, 5 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.

7/21 139.2 - No structured walking as childminding little DGS, so 168 calories over, but no binge, in fact 6 days binge free, let’s keep it that way.
7/22 139.2 - no structured walking as raining in-between running errands 🥲. Managed to just about break even with calories, but carbs 18 over.
7/23 139.2 - 5.22 miles walked yesterday, it was cut short by the rain - again ! Calories 391 over; it was a strange afternoon, went to a living wake bbq for lunch/dinner, so choice of low calorie food was limited and he had brought a large box of cider for us all to drink, I did indulge in half a pint to have a drink with him; it was all about our friend.
7/24 139.6 – no structured walking, with rain (again!), travelling back from Aylesbury and Jools Holland & his Rhythm & Blues orchestra concert , with guest Pauline Black from Selecta – a brilliant show! Stayed within calorie limits.
7/25 138.4 – 8.24 miles walked, 20% exercise calories eaten back. At last a drop!
7/26 139.2 – and up again! 9.75 miles walked, 60% exercise calories eaten back.

Round 230
July 21 - 30, 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!

7/21- (maine) 122.0 True surprise. I ate slightly over my maintenance target yesterday. But went down further. Got to Maine last night. Father is still in the hospital, at least through the weekend. Mom is in assisted living and I will keep trying to check in with her. Daughter, SIL, DGS, and their cats are joining us with our two cats in our 2 bedroom condo starting today. I will cut my time in Maine short and leave after my daughter heads home. This is her birthday weekend (32 years) and last travel before giving birth to our second grandson. Tonight, we are also entertaining a friend. He became a widower 9 months ago (suddenly) and his 80th birthday was 4 days ago. I have two small cakes for tonight so we can celebrate both birthdays.
7/22- (Maine) 122.8 More logical number. Made it through last night’s dinner. Did not track perfectly, but well enough.
7/23- (Maine) 123.4 Had a case of hand and mouth disease yesterday. Gave up trying to track. Since I lost unplanned weight last week, I do have that buffer going on that helps to cover for days like yesterday. Daughter and family are here through today. Cutting my trip short to be back to help with my mother. My father’s return from the hospital keeps shifting out. It was first Friday, then “through the weekend – sun or mon”, then Monday absolute, now Tuesday. They are looking to get him stable before home. My concern is when he get home and his tendancy to make up his own rules. Given his medical condition, he should not be inventing his own rules like “my mitochondria need to recharge so I am not going to walk today” when he has been told that getting up and walking is critical for him. Argh!

He is a procrastinator (2022 taxes still not filed, an aspect of my grandmother’s 2008 estate is still unresolved, and two hoarded homes) and mom is dealing with dementia. Off to find the advil……

7/26 - 151.2 - I was rather shocked to see this. Between lunch and dinner, I was sure I'd be maintaining or up. I did drink 100oz of water, though, and am feeling much less bloated today so maybe it was all water weight anyway. Today will be the last day of penne alla vodka for lunch (I froze the rest) but no chicken today as I'm out. I have some carrots that need cooked before they go bad. I'll likely roast them in some form or fashion and have some with lunch to offset the lack of chicken. No clue what is on the menu for dinner tonight yet. I walked the dogs already and did all 4 rounds of my kettlebell workout. The knot in my back is still there, but it's a bit less sensitive (I can breathe fairly deep now without pain but certain movements still hurt). I've already updated my workout calendar to do yoga again tomorrow instead of cardio to give it a bit more rest.

7/23 - I am bloated! Hopefully a few days of eating better, drinking lots of water, and gentle movement will bring this back down. Yesterday (Saturday) was the only day I didn't drink a ton of water but Thursday and Friday I was out in the heat so it was all undone no matter how much water I drank. I wouldn't be surprised if I was very careful every day for the remainder of the round and just barely get back to starting weight. I'm setting my round goal to be 152.x for this reason. Today I'm focusing on drinking water and being mindful of my eating. I'm planning for tomorrow to resume normal workouts again for the rest of the week.
7/24 - Alright, some bloat gone. Not bad for having pasta last night, either. I have a giant horrible knot in my back that certain movements cause numbness in my arm and it can hurt to breathe so I did 2 rounds of my kettlebell workout already. I'll do the other 2 later on in the late morning/afternoon to give myself a little break. I need the knot to work itself out so not moving it will make it worse but I need more breaks haha I did walk the dogs this morning as well. Unsure dinner but I have leftover homemade penne alla vodka and a couple cans of chicken breast I can make up (we ate all the chicken with it for dinner so I'm improvising). I might stir in some spinach to my lunch portions to add a little veggie-umph to it.
7/25 - Little by little. I'm already at my goal for this round as I definitely expected the weekend bloat to take longer to drop off. I'm quite pleased with this development. We ended up extending our trip this weekend from Sunday-Monday to Saturday-Monday (that way we aren't waking up at 3-4am and trying to enjoy our trip while exhausted) but that means eating out another day. That also means I'll miss the last day of this round and Saturday before we leave will be my official end-of-round weigh in. I'd like to get down just a bit more before we go so that the bounce back up isn't such a challenge to handle, mentally.

SW RND 230: 127.4 AGAIN!
7/21 - forgot to weigh first thing this morning due to some messages I received from my boss before I even got out of bed. I'm sure the scale wouldn't have held good news anyway. We ended up trying a new Central/South American restaurant in town yesterday for dinner. It was DELICIOUS but I have no idea what I ate. Then we tried a new dessert place called The Boardwalk with specialty funnel cakes and other deep-fried fair food. Ugh. THEN we went to a neighbor's house and had beers. Whew. Today I'm planning on strength training and fasting for the morning. Tonight I'm going to a Barbie Movie premiere party in town with my neighbor and her friends. I don't have a lot of close friends in town so I generally take every opportunity to hang out with a bunch of women I can! Dinner will be at home before I go, at least. Happy Friday everyone!

7/24 - 129.4! Up 2 pounds after the weekend, guh. I know some is water but I'm a broken record over here saying I need to get back on track. I did manage to run over 6 miles yesterday for my half marathon training but even that isn't enough to offset everything I ate/drank. I'm still doing a great job with my training/fitness plan. I'm not getting too hung up on the number on the scale, but I do want to be mindful of what I'm putting in my body. The popcorn & M&Ms I ended up having for lunch when I took my son to see Elemental yesterday did not qualify as mindful eating.
7/25 - 131. Ohh lordy, I haven't seen a number over 130 in months. I actually am feeling really strong and wondering if a little of this is muscle gain or water retention from increased exercise between lifting weights and running. Going to pound water today and track my intake and see where I land. This morning I ebiked the kids to school, and I'll do a tempo run later.
7/26 - 128.4, phew. Must have been holding on to some extra water yesterday. Now I just need to reverse the 4 and the 8 in my weight and I'll be good to go. I'm planning to try a slow cooker chicken tikka masala recipe today even though this isn't really Indian food weather for me. DH is traveling for work starting this afternoon, and he doesn't like Indian food, so I'm just wanting to take advantage of his absence Really wilding out over here; somebody stop me! My 4 year old spiked a fever at daycare yesterday. He's home today because of the 24-hour rule but he's feeling better. I was so nervous we'd be in extreme survival mode for the rest of the week trying to WFH and take care of the kids out of daycare without DH home. Hoping the 2 year old is spared from it because he is way harder to manage. Going to walk the dogs today before DH leaves and do chest, shoulders, and triceps strength training.

7/21 - 183.6
Low calories yesterday, so time lag from lunch out with friend on Wed. I’m more determined than ever to get rid of this stupid weight. I had DH make a video of Booker training in scent work, which he has just started (he’s a genius!), and while the dog looks great, I cringe looking at my big sloppy belly. I’m trying not to beat myself up about it, but at the same time I have to stop making excuses and pretending I’m thin as I was in 2019 (~130). (I am still angry at the doctor and dietitian who put me on that very restrictive, very low calorie elimination diet—I know it screwed up my metabolism, leading to massive weight gain and the need now for really low calories to lose. Vicious cycle.) Anyway, I do not want to be fat in photos when Booker starts competing! Plus I have a bunch of nice skinny pants I want to fit back into. 😊
7/22 - 183
I had a really good day yesterday, calories right where I planned, and my only snack was almond milk, frozen fruit, collagen smoothie in the evening, so very healthy. Yay me! I did some garden work and had a nice walk with the pup. Does knitting count as exercise? 😊🧶 I’m revising some regular menu items to lower the calories. This morning I made my homemade, fresher, healthier version of egg McMuffin, and on mine I replaced the cheese with a slice of tomato. It tasted great. Tonight I’m making a cherry tomato galette, and plan to eat only a few bites of crust to get some of the pleasure without all the calories. I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to get myself under control, but I feel like I am, finally. Wishing you all a great Saturday!
7/23 - 183.4
I don’t get it. I’ve kept my calories low — ~1200 — the past 3 days. How in the heck can I not be down a little and in fact be slightly up? Crazy. I know the daily variations don’t always make sense, but still. Oh well, I’ll just keep on trying. Not always easy — DH wants to order out Italian today. Aaack! I need to see if they have a reasonable salad, or maybe just order for him.
7/24 - 184
I did not do well with yesterday’s Italian (@fmfdfa2020!) — ziti, garlic bread…. Oh, well. Back on track today. And it was good! DH’s birthday is Wed. and I was worried about what he’d want to order (we’ve always taken each other out, and since Covid, ordered in), but this morning he told me he wants me to make my scallop chowder and a nice salad. That work’s!
7-25 - 185
Gaaa! I hate these time lags, and I’m feeling rather hopeless since one meal cancelled out days of low calories. Disgusting. I came home ravenous from doggy school last night, and I’m trying to figure out why I was so so hungry. I think it was light pasta for dinner (lobster ravioli with a little olive oil and shaved parm) and a very small breakfast. I’m going to keep track this week of meals and when I’m hungry, but I’m pretty sure I’m less hungry later when I have a bigger, higher protein breakfast. I can’t figure out whether to “front load” the day with a good breakfast, or keep calories very low all day so I can snack late without going over calories. Or maybe save my dinner for later (DH likes to eat early and is very much a man of routines and schedules). I’m sick of being fat and being so focused on food, macros, calories, yada yada. Not much of a problem as problems go, but there it is.
7/26 - 184
Today will be tough. DH decided he wants Thai food for late birthday lunch instead of scallop bisque, so…. But that will be pretty much it for the day, and I plan to split mine so I can eat a bit of it later. I’m not baking a cake, though — there’s a nice little bakery near us and I plan to buy one piece of cake for him. Can’t believe Roger is 88! (I’m much younger 😁.) And Mike the Cat is 5 today. 😻

@tiabirdie56 Thanks. I do calorie cycle, mostly because I’m not being consistent for more than 3 days, but when I was, I always put in a higher calorie day every 7-10 days.3

Round 230
MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
ROUND 187 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
R229 EW= 196.6
R230 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.

07/20 …..196.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/21 -194.4- (Trend weight 197.0)

07/23 -195.2- (Trend weight 196.8)
07/24 -193.8- (Trend weight 196.5)
07/25 -194.0- (Trend weight 196.2) I Typed my weight in black because I knew it was a perfect on-point day with both diet and exercise so this is just an overnight fluctuation. I am happy with my progress so far this round, including my trend weight. Not traveling has helped. I may have to go out of town on Thursday, however. I need to do some grocery shopping and it is supposed to be 93 degrees that day. With no air conditioning here, I would look forward to the air in the car and in the stores. Trying to be strategic.
07/26 -193.8- (Trend weight 196.0) I drank 100 oz of water yesterday which wasn’t as hard to do as I thought. I just set time limits for myself. 24 by noon. 24 by 4:00-4:30, 24 by 9:00 and 24 by 1:00 am (I stay of late). I keep a little to sip at night by the bed too. Thinking of it in smaller increments helped. Also, I walked down the driveway to the mailbox and just kept walking without having planned it. I had on my squirrel shoes (the one’s I jump into to go out and feed the squirrels and birds), not my walking shoes but I walked for about 12 minutes up and down the hills of my neighborhood. A short walk but better than nothing. I think I can do that more often but not today as there are severe thunderstorms coming any minute. Sad to see my weight still isn’t moving. I stuck to my diet plan and snacking plan. I’m really looking forward to the 180’s because I know how much my glucose improves and how much better I feel.

@jafso_1 I don’t know how to merge your workout reports but think it would be a setting in one of the apps or perhaps on Apple health if you have an Apple device. I’m 73 and don’t do tech. LOL I have a Garmin Vivofit 3 and Polar chest strap and only use MFP for this message board. Some of these share to MFP but the food tracking app I use (Senza) doesn’t.1

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
Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

SW Round 230 133.0
7/21 130.0 Yesterday was a good day although DH was in a foul mood most of it. El Pollo Loco for dinner. Tonight green bean and ground beef casserole - it’s keto friendly and he really likes it.
7/22 130.0 Yesterday’s casserole postponed until tomorrow. We decided to drop in at Great Greek for lunch. The place was a zoo! Manager said it’s always busy at lunch Friday.
7/23 130.0 I made a big mock whiskey sour last night. I had foot and ankle cramps all night. I wonder if there is a connection. 97*F at 7:45am, only supposed to get up to 114 today
7/24 129.5 No alcohol, no leg/foot cramps. Went to bed earlier and woke up a little later but I have vertigo and a headache. I have to get my tire patched before I go to my meeting across town so will drop stuff off at daughter’s and at a friends and then go to meeting.
7/25 129.5 BD small alcoholic beverage but got no leg/foot cramps during the night. There is a quail knocking at my back door. They know where the seed comes from. LOL
7/26 128.5 I got over 8 hours of sleep! woke with a terrible headache which soon went away. It was 96 degrees at 7:45am. I love the desert.5 -
Hi Everyone – Looking forward to my 6th challenge.
Female, 5’4”, 57 years of age
HW: 210 (May, 2022)
CW: 147.4
GW: still don’t know… it will be a journey… first stop, “healthy BMI,” second stop, “look good in mirror.” I sincerely hope I get there.
Goals: Continue working on same goals from previous rounds
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!)
I will be away for the end of this challenge at a family wedding… which doesn’t bode well for me at the end. I also will not be weighing in for those last few days. I am very anxious about being able to stay on track… with obvious indulgences because it’s a wedding… there will be cake… and champagne… 2 things I thoroughly enjoy. Also, no structured work out schedule. It took me from 2/27/23 until 6/15/23 to get out of the 150’s and I really don’t want to have to do that again.
SW RND 230 – 147.4
7/21: 147.5
7/22: 147.2 - Early morning Zumba put a smile on my face today! Youngest DS birthday lunch tomorrow (he turned 25 yesterday), and I just baked a cake. Ugh - it smells really good. Might have a little slice tomorrow, we'll see. Gonna make a beef tenderloin and roasted potatoes (I'll have a sweet potato). I feel good, strong, ready to take on the temptation.
7/23: 147.5 Lots of work to do to get ready for lunch today. I haven't had beef in so long.... probably 2 months, I hope I don't overcook it. My middle DS, who is 28, has CP and what that means for him is he is physically totally dependent on help (quadriplegic) and cognitively he is scattered anywhere from a 5 year old to about 12 year old with thoughts, ideas, speech, etc. He was up around 2 am to let us know that he was keeping an eye on the cake overnight so that nobody would steal it! I'll be drinking lots of coffee today - LOL!
7/24: 147.6 - Back at work, feeling frenetic trying to get things accomplished before Thursday, let alone thinking about what I need to pack, etc.
7/25: 147.5
7/26: 147.7 - Had Zumba last night after work and twisted my ankle... but it's not terrible, just reminding me that I did it. Not swollen, just tender. Oy... I suppose I need to slow down. Thanks @itladyee for the well wishes. Also agree with you regarding the change in tastes... I did have a small slice of my DS birthday cake on Sunday, and I did not care for it... kind of makes me happy a little bit that there's no big temptation in it anymore. I plan to be mindful while I am away, and write down what I eat, if not the weight, etc of it all. Have a great couple of weeks and I'll "see" you when I am back!
