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 231 129.5
7/31 130.5 Late post! Went to water fitness, came home, showered, went to help DD#2 at school, came home and had some leftover steak and got on here. Going back to help DD again tomorrow. I’m seriously lacking water today!
8/1 130.5 I thought I did well yesterday. Today will be better.
8/2 130.0 Surprised, this little drop is probably the result of what I ate the day before yesterday. Jimmy John’s Unwich last night but I ate salt and vinegar chips. YUM! Today breakfast out with DH & friend, mani appt, and back to DD’s school to work in library. She got her certification this summer and is officially a librarian not a “teacher working as a librarian.”
8/3 130.5 Okay, stupid, bad behavior yesterday. I had decided before we went that I was going to get steak and eggs but did I tell the waitress no toast or potatoes? No, I did not and then I proceeded to eat it all! That and about a half cup of “me roasted” pecans and almonds was all I ate yesterday. But REALLY, potatoes and toast!!!6 -

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 231 (my 162nd). 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 42 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: time is running out! So, 42 days, 4 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.

Round 231
MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
ROUND 188 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
R230 EW= 194.2
R231 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.

07/30 …..194.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/31 -193.8- (Trend weight 195.4)
08/01 -193.6- (Trend weight 195.2)
08/02 -194.6- (Trend weight 195.2) I was absolutely FLOORED when I stepped on the scale all 5 times during this earlier than usual weigh-in before travel. Up a FULL pound? I was under 1000 calories for the day yesterday, no exercise because of no time, a good elimination for TMI. Why oh Why? I can only figure that it was no sleep and up early today for the travel to CT scan? I dunno. We’ll see what happens in the next couple of days after travel and the dust settles.
08/03 -196.8- (Trend weight 195.3) I was gone yesterday in my travels to the CT scan for about 12 hours. We had two meals out. While I watched my portions, we all know about hidden sodium in restaurant food. I was up all night going pee as my lower legs, ankles and abdomen hold this badly. Less pain in the ankles today. No TMI today so that doesn’t help. I have to continue to push water today to get rid of the contrast dye. My arm from the elbow all the way down to the hand is black and blue. Because I can’t use the right side (previous breast cancer/lymph removal) I can only use the left and they kept hitting scar tissue inside my veins from so much use. It took 4 tries and 3 techs but they finally got the I.V. in. Today I feel like an old lady who is falling apart instead of a middle-aged woman with lots of life and vitality left. I’m going to be extra careful with my diet today to mitigate the damage from the restaurant food. I’ll also be elevating my feet several times today. Gonna fit in a little fitness too I hope.

Round 231
July 31 – Aug 9, 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!

7/31 – Mass 125.6 (Renpho 125.6) I enjoyed getting to test out the Renpho “solo”, so I only had it to trust. As long as my suitcase weight will allow it, it will be traveling with me to Scotland and Amsterdam in the fall. Yesterday finished with LOTS of bad behavior, so the old me is still clearly inside and will likely always be. Fortunately, I had gotten under my goal range last week, so the damage was not so devastating. I expect today, and hopefully all of round 231 to be my new “normal”. Still of course juggling parent obligations, but pretty much back to how it was prior to my sister’s visit in early July. Hoping you are all well, and I will be back to keeping up with posts this round. Or so I hope!!
8/1 – Mass 124.6 Stayed under on today calories yesterday, though probably not the most nutritionally balanced. Something I need to return to.
8/2 – Mass 125.8 (Renpho 125.8) Yes, yesterday I was off the rails AND not nutritionally balanced.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Jen; 46; 5'4"
About Me:This is my third round and really appreciated the having someplace to stay accountable to.
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)
RND 230 - SW: 280.4; FW: 276.0 (-4.4)
Goals:
* track food every day
* walk for at least 30 minutes and/or 1 mile every day
Round 231
heaviest: 294 (7/4/23)
SW: 276.0
GW (short term): 250
RGW: 273
7/31 - 276.2 - 2.86 miles - Curious that I've increased my walk by nearly two miles and I'm actually gaining weight. I try to stay within the original calorie goal (ignoring exercise calories), but I don't measure everything precisely and I think those calories are starting to add up. I've been wanting lots of snacks, especially since my husband bought potato chips (my trigger food) and I'm now craving them because they are in the house. I spend half my time trying not to think about them. Made chicken noodle soup tonight and it should be about 400 calories for a two cup serving (which fills our soup bowls) but I probably got way more noodles for the first helping because it's all floating on top so who knows how many calories I had. Now I have to convince myself to not have Veggie Straws or a piece of chocolate bar.
8/1 - 273.8 - 2.93 miles - My weight finally went down, but I have no idea why it went so far. I weighed myself twice, once after cleaning underneath the scale to make sure something wasn't affecting it. My body is so weird sometimes. I've decided to try and up my walking to two miles every day this month. It was okay the first three days I did nearly three miles, but today was rough. I have to figure out where I need to turn around for it to be only two miles because my route right now is three miles and it's going to be too hard to keep up long-term right now. But one mile feels way too short now after doing it every day for a month. We'll see how it goes.
8/2 - 273.2 - 2.25 miles - Reduced my miles today because I knew I was going to be doing some hard labor in the yard. My husband bought a bunch of bags of mulch but our side yard is covered in rocks. So I spent almost two hours after my walk, shoveling as much of the rocks as I could and carrying them to the back of our property. Then I put out three bags of mulch. Covered like a 1/5 of the yard. I feel surprisingly well after all that work. No big pains in my back, shoulders or arms. My legs are sore from the walk but that's normal. I'll be out there again tomorrow morning before the heat gets too bad. I have 6 more bags to put out so a lot of rocks to haul. And that definitely will not cover even half probably.
8/3 - 272.0 - 2.72 miles - Definitely walked too far today. I didn't feel too sore from yesterday, but my knee started aching after the first mile but I just kept going. Then by the time I got home it was really hurting and I still needed to work in the yard. I spent about an hour and a half (maybe longer), shoveling rocks and moving them to the back of the property. I also climbed all over the back, cutting down blackberry bushes that took over the neighbor's property and are encroaching into ours (although the blackberries are delicious in the summer, they are an invasive species and will take over your entire yard). I think I laid three bags of mulch today, but I don't feel like I got as much done. Then I had to come in and fix the washing machine that flooded the laundry room last night. And when I went to get some soup for dinner, I found out my husband had eaten the entire container which was at least 3 or 4 bowls. So I made a box of red beans and rice with andouille sausage in it. Tomorrow is more shoveling rocks and watching my grandson all day.

Really not loving my behaviors lately. Dealing with a lot of change so I'm trying to cut myself some slack, but this round will probably not be what I want it to be.6 -
65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 231 (my 162nd). 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 42 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: time is running out! So, 42 days, 4 rounds at a pound per round should easily get me to where I want to be, only I can do it, I’ve done it before so I can do it again if I knuckle down!! Really try to stay on track. After all I am what I eat in more ways than one, my whole demeanour is totally different when I am happy with myself!!Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!!7 -
39 years old. 5'5" from Greece...Glad to be back!
Many things happened and lost somewhat my way in terms of weight... So here I am again in this community of wonderful people to encourage and get encouragement from!!:)
Gained approximately 40 pounds (20kgr)..
Tried drastic measures to get back to track, but to no avail... So I am now taking it one day at a time, with baby steps and realistic -hmmmmm- goals!
CW 173.5 lbs (78.7 kgr)
GW for the 10 days 165 lbs (75 kgr)
UGW 125 lbs (57 kgr)
8/02 -173.5 lbs (78.7 kgr) (last night I tried the treadmill after soooo long, next step some streching!)
8/03 -173.5 lbs (78.7 kgr) Same. Somehow my body refuses to lose weight daily... Even 100 gramms... Eventhough I went for 90 min walk with healthy food choices
Perhaps I will need to adjust my 10 days goal..We will see!
8/04 - 173.2 lbs (78.6kgr) Be carefull what you wish for....I almost had a stroke when I went up the scale this morning.... Mindfull and healthy food choices, plus water plus mild exercise (only had time for a 30 min brisk walk) and just 100 gramms down...
Deep breaths...this is a marathon not a spint , but I sure wouldn't mind some progress... Hopefully tomorrow the scale wont be stuck!

Fluctuation to be expected. I was on target all day. Had some great thoughts and felt very excited to be back on track and welcome this challenge. I looked through old photos and thought I can do this! Let’s not slip again! Felt truly positive all day! Also felt positive changes in my body because of the constant hydration. Water is indeed the Living Well!

SW Round 231
RGW: 120.06
7/31- 121.04,- Running late this morning, off to PT- should er really bothering me, comb of too much pickleball but I think I overdid my exercises too. 2 minutes resting squats so far. Got dressed and had to undress to weigh myself...need to start off right. Love when 10 days starts on a Monday.
8/1- 121.4, Its fun to entertain yourself- I kind of binged yesterday, was feeling sorry for myself, just being kind of pathetic, but God Blessed me- i did go play pickleball last night, actually was virtually painfree after PT, and despite having potato chips for a snack and then I added a lot of unmeasured goodies to my cauliflower pizza, came out even! I was sure I blew it or would at least be bloated which messes me mentally up too. Hope to do better today. 2 minutes squats yesterday.
8/2- 122.0 This was bound to happen- I have been pushing it on calories and sodium- So not exactly sure what affecting me right now, but I am suspicious of the sodium and water retention. i really had a lot of salt yesterday and it always seems to take a day to catch up and a day or two to even out- I am going to try not only rebalance my body but take this moment to try and rebalance my my and not become overly reactionary- Talking great words here- Only time will tell if I have convinced my self- 2:30 squat.
8/3- 121.0 Mr. Toad's Wild Ride over here! I honestly have no idea every morning what the scale will say. Trying to find peace with God in other areas of my life, accepting change and not trying to be controlling. I did not think that meant to except that I can not even control the scale - God is trying to tell me something, hope I will listen. Been suffering with being excessively tired for a week or 2- I have always had trouble sleeping, my natural progesterone is off, it peaks at wrong time of day...but lately have been exhausted, falling asleep at my desk constantly and then wide awake at 11 pm. Started taking my vitamins again, i think I need to check into this, it is getting out of hand.
8/4- 121.0 Had to get up extra early to go to PT, only had time for coffee, weighed myself 2 hours later and after being worked out- so not sure how to interpret this weight. Ate a little more then usual yesterday, not sure why, had a sweet tooth, needed a reason to get up from my desk. Lucky to be going sideways. Doing better on exhaustion, taking my vitamins again now ( tracking really helps) for my soon to be ex-husbands health insurance plan we get a health assessment- so signed up for that yesterday so will get my blood work drawn, see if I am missing some nutrients in my diet. My girlfriend had said stopping drinking milk helped with her migraines, so I gave up milk for several months- but not sure if I simultaneously finally hit menopause and my headaches have finally started subsiding. Last years assessment said I was low on calcium. I have added 4 ounces of milk a day, need to figure out some alternatives for calcium because can not eat cheese, 4 ounces is pushing it on heartburn, oh and allergic to all tree nuts.Sorry just ranting today.

8/04 - DNW - I did a quick peak on the scale without letting it settle and record: upper 153 range. Oof. I am very very bloated today, though, so hopefully that accounts for some of that increase. It's still painful to see, especially knowing I'm traveling today and tomorrow, eating out and sitting a lot in the vehicle (7-8 hours each way, not accounting for stops). Especially painful knowing I can't push water like I otherwise would because we won't be able to stop all that often (nor do I want to make the trip that much longer due to so many stops). I drank over 100oz of water yesterday and I'm already done with my first 30oz before anyone is even awake which helps significantly for my overall water intake for the day. 50oz left to hit my minimum goal and that's a little more doable. Especially with dinner if I make smart choices. No posting for me tomorrow but I should be back Sunday. Hope you have a great start to your weekend!

Previous Day's Comments7/31 - DNP - headed home from baseball game
8/01 - Ended up standing in for 2 softball games unexpectedly last night. Got home late and therefore slept in as long as work would allow. I'm sore, dehydrated, and tired so no weigh-in. I might not weigh at all this round - too much going on. I'll see how I'm feeling or if my curiosity gets the best of me this week. The kids want me to go with them Friday to drop off with their mom which means more travel and an overnight stay (read: sitting long hours in a vehicle and eating out). I may weigh on Friday morning before we leave just to see if I got back down to where I was before this past weekend. I'd be okay simply maintaining the 152.x throughout all this travel. Going to be on my best behavior these next few days.
8/02 - I did step on the scale and it was bouncing around the 153.2 range but I did not let it stop and record. It was enough to give me an idea of where I am so I can slowly adjust today and tomorrow. I was over on calories a significant amount yesterday but I never once felt overly full or stuffed, just content and satisfied so I'm alright with that. It was a very lazy day, I didn't even hit 5,000 steps and no workout so that was a huge reason for it. Today I've finished my last kettlebell workout and walked the dogs. I'm aiming to hit my 10k steps and move every hour goals. Dinner is at Fam's tonight as a goodbye for the kids and I've pre-logged as estimates what I think will be involved.
8/03 - I'm not doing well about sticking to habits on this short week. Went to Fam's as a goodbye, LittleBro requested egg drop soup and fried rice - hello sodium bloat. I also went back for seconds prematurely and ended up well overstuffed. Oops. You'd think I'd know by now! Hopefully today is better. I'm making homemade biscuits with sausage gravy (all from scratch) since BF and LittleBro both wanted it. I walked the dogs already and will continue to move through the day as well as stretch. My legs are still incredibly sore from Monday's softball. Oof. I'm so out of shape

Ok, it is what it is. I went over my calorie goal, well below supposed maintenance. This afternoon I’m going to chart the past month or more of calories and weights to see how my record aligns with MFP and Sailrabbit and adjust from there. I feel really bloated and disgusted with myself, but I’m trying to put an “in control” spin on it. I think I’ll make my bead-free salmon patties for dinner — they’re filling and virtuous.
8/01 - 185.4, 1456, 45 min.
Nope, had a measured portion of penne and chicken for dinner, and was really hungry when I got home from dog training in the evening. I’m going to have a very small lunch today, and grilled chicken with cauliflower for dinner. I had a good high-protein breakfast that should hold me through the day. I really think if I ate dinner later, I wouldn’t overeat. DH likes to eat early, so I’m going to have to figure out a system that will work. Sit down with him, warm mine up later? Maybe. For 31+ years, I’ve eaten mainly by his schedule because he’s very scheduled/organized/routine-driven and I’m not, so whatever. But the early dinners just aren’t working for me anymore. Anyone else live with someone with a very different internal food schedule? How do you handle it?
8/02 - 185, 1836, 40 min.
Once again, my calories were great until late evening, and then I went on a carb rampage. Ugh.
8/03 - 185.2, 1542, 65 min.
Ok, better all around yesterday. I’m off in a few minutes for my post-cataract-surgery checkup with my regular doctor, hoping he clears me for a new prescription—my vision is blurry with my glasses. Yesterday I took Booker to the vet to weigh him — 59 lbs! Then we went to a city park that is a farm and had a lovely walk, and he saw his first chickens. 🐓 Being out there adjusted my attitude a bit — I’ve spent so much of the summer at home pulling weeds, I was kind of down. I realized how I’ve missed getting out to our beautiful parks, so I’ll be doing more of that. Also set some goals for Booker’s training, aiming to be ready for scent/nose work trials this fall, and get serious about tracking and obedience and his advanced trick dog titles. Fun, and something on my mind other than weight and food.
8/04 - 185, 1551, 45 min.
I can’t seem to get my calories as low as I’d like, but at least I’m hitting below maintenance the past couple of days. Off to do some dog training! One of these days I need to clean the house….nah! 😂

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.

SW Round 231 129.5
7/31 130.5 Late post! Went to water fitness, came home, showered, went to help DD#2 at school, came home and had some leftover steak and got on here. Going back to help DD again tomorrow. I’m seriously lacking water today!
8/1 130.5 I thought I did well yesterday. Today will be better.
8/2 130.0 Surprised, this little drop is probably the result of what I ate the day before yesterday. Jimmy John’s Unwich last night but I ate salt and vinegar chips. YUM! Today breakfast out with DH & friend, mani appt, and back to DD’s school to work in library. She got her certification this summer and is officially a librarian not a “teacher working as a librarian.”
8/3 130.5 Okay, stupid, bad behavior yesterday. I had decided before we went that I was going to get steak and eggs but did I tell the waitress no toast or potatoes? No, I did not and then I proceeded to eat it all! That and about a half cup of “me roasted” pecans and almonds was all I ate yesterday. But REALLY, potatoes and toast!!!

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)

GW Maintaining between 124 - 126
Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.
History:Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a DGS, and second GS on the way. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment
7/31 – Mass 125.6 (Renpho 125.6) I enjoyed getting to test out the Renpho “solo”, so I only had it to trust. As long as my suitcase weight will allow it, it will be traveling with me to Scotland and Amsterdam in the fall. Yesterday finished with LOTS of bad behavior, so the old me is still clearly inside and will likely always be. Fortunately, I had gotten under my goal range last week, so the damage was not so devastating. I expect today, and hopefully all of round 231 to be my new “normal”. Still of course juggling parent obligations, but pretty much back to how it was prior to my sister’s visit in early July. Hoping you are all well, and I will be back to keeping up with posts this round. Or so I hope!!
8/1 – Mass 124.6 Stayed under on today calories yesterday, though probably not the most nutritionally balanced. Something I need to return to.
8/2 – Mass 125.8 (Renpho 125.8) Yes, yesterday I was off the rails AND not nutritionally balanced.
8/3 – Maine 124.6
8/4 – Maine 124.6 Yesterday morning acted as a “think about it” moment, and it was not from the scale. I woke up with body aches, and a burning throat. Pretty certain that “burning throat” is acid reflux. After countless years, my other silent reflux symptoms (daily throat clearing) had pretty much disappeared once I began Invisalign and stopped eating and drinking coffee after dinner/in the evening. Well Thursday night, I had continued my days of bad behavior late into the night. (I have discovered how to eat with my Invisalign trays in
) As for the body pain, it was upper back. This, according to Dr. Google, can also be attributed to silent reflux. My other choice is inflammation from the massive dose of gluten I consumed on Thursday. Regardless, it is a non-scale kick in the @ss that points out I can do better.
Scale is fine, but I am learning how disconnected I am to the reality of my weight. Now that this low weight has become “normal”, I now feel “fat” at that weight. Fortunately, the mirror reminds me that all is well, but it is illuminating to see the mental component to one’s weight.
Oh, I got to walk yesterday!!!! Yay!

Got behind of group posts, but got myself a second cup of coffee and am now all caught up.
@cchassee Sorry I did not see you quote me a couple days ago. But yes, the Renpho is very cool. The little one is nicely accurate and a size I can likely smuggle in my suitcase for travel (don't tell hubby :P ). I can't take credit pointing it out. There was someone in the group that first mentioned it maybe two months ago, and with her recommendation I gave it a go. Glad you are finding this group to be of help to you. It has been very helpful for me.
@justanotherjen13 I'm responding to your comment about trying to figure out mileage. You could walk the 1 mile twice. Cut the 3 mile in half. Walk for a set amount of time ie walk x minutes one way and then turn around. Do be cautious about overdoing things. I am prone to that. I go "all in" and then that does not work for the long run for me. Do what you can do comfortably and consistently. This is advice from someone "older" that has perfected making mistakes.
@Antara_Kld I've read your frustrations regarding your losses so far. Do have patience. But meanwhile, pointers from my WW receptionist days. Be accurate - use a scale or measuring cups for portions, use the scanner, read labels. Be sure to eat enough, there is a calorie window that will work best for you. Weight loss should come.
Personally, I like to pre-track whenever I can and then weigh/measure to match the plan.
@deepwoodslady I hope you are feeling better from the CT procedure, and I am hoping that the test itself was just precautionary.
