Round 232
MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
ROUND 189 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
R231 EW= 194.6
R232 EW= 198.0
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 4 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.

08/16 -196.6- (Trend weight 195.6) Today is youngest daughters moving day. She’s picking up some furniture from here, amid the hectic-ness of the handymen being here too. She is moving to an apartment just down the street from me which will make babysitting/transporting much easier. Going out-of-town to shop for the rest of Granddaughters 3rd birthday which is on Sunday so no handyman tomorrow.
08/17 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW)
08/18 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) So, So busy. But work is getting done around here even at the expense of my diet & exercise plans. I will catch up on posts as soon as I can.
08/19 -198.0- (Trend weight 196.3) I’m In a very confused state about my diet and mfp goals. Too much restriction just seems to be causing me to throw in the towel every few days. I need to seriously rethink it all, especially when life gets busy. What can be sustainable, help my diabetes but keep me from bingeing? I dunno. Lots to consider! Was super busy until very late again last night. When it’s that late, meals are in the middle of the night and I’m too tired for exercise. I’ve got a lot to figure out! But I’m so happy to be getting some remodeling projects started with my new handymen. See you next round. Boy do I ever need it!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Hi again! I'm Amanda, 38F in Virginia.
SW Round 232 - 129.8
R232 GW - 128
8/10 - 129.8. I'm back again. I'm in a weird place where I don't necessarily want to focus on the number on the scale but it's the best way for me to think about what/how much I'm consuming. I've still been running a lot and lifting. My muscles are sore and tired today, TOM arrived this morning, and we went out for Mexican for dinner, so I'm holding on to some water for sure. But I still need to make better choices! Today I have a treadmill run and strength training scheduled. And today will be alcohol-free. I had margaritas at dinner and it messed up my sleep, ugh. Anyway, looking forward to the round and hope to actually see it through this time!
8/11 - 129.8 again. I ended up running outside and postponing strength training yesterday. I signed up for this run training app for a two month trial and I felt really overloaded this week. It seems like you either do 5 runs a week or 3 runs a week with no in-between. I decided to switch over to 3 a week and then will add something on my own when I want to. I am so excited for this weekend. My friend is getting married at the same venue where my husband and I got married almost 7 years ago! We're spending the weekend in a cabin with them and some of their other friends. There are a bunch of hiking and biking trails, kayaks and canoes for rent, etc. The couple is driving from 4 hours away but it's only an hour away from us (ironically it was across the country from us when we got married there; we were living in Colorado at the time!). I'll be MIA and not weighing for the weekend. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
8/12 - DNW
8/13 - DNW
8/14 - DNW. Back from the cabin/wedding weekend. I snacked a lot but I was fairly active at least. I did a 6-mile trail run yesterday for my weekly long run. It was slow but I felt like I had plenty of endurance for it. My ankle-adjacent stabilizing muscles are sore since I don't usually trail run. I think that's a lot better for me in the long run than road running, though. Joints tend to tolerate softer surfaces for longer. Today I'm doing strength work and focusing my effort on the kitchen. And water. Lots and lots of water.
8/15 - 130.0
8/16 - 130.0 Ugh. My weight is not bringing me joy. The kids were home yesterday and we went out for donuts and ate generally unhealthfully all day. I did go for a 50-minute easy run (some walking to keep my heart rate down in the heat). Today I will eat better and drink a lot of water. I have legs and core strength on the docket, but I'm having my house cleaned and I always feel weird going to work out while they're here.
8/17 - 128.0 okay! My efforts from yesterday showed up on the scale. I started feeling some existential angst yesterday and hopped on the Peloton for 20 minutes for a "Mood: anxiety" ride with an instructor I like and it sort of snapped me out of it. I feel like my husband and I have a grass-is-always-greener perspective on working vs. staying home with our small children. I think some recent changes at my sons' daycare are making me feel like I don't know what they're up to all day. I was a SAHM with my first for a couple of years and I don't think it allowed me the breathing space to be a patient/exceptional mom, and having a job gives me breathing room and a purpose outside the home (though I still think my most important purpose is at home). It also financially enables us to save money and go on fun family vacations without spending every penny we bring home. The flexibility of my job also allows me to do a lot of household chores while the kids are at daycare so I can spend high quality time with them in the evenings and on weekends. However, often, it just feels like work is pointless and I'm missing valuable time with my kids. I started therapy last week and I'm hoping to get myself sorted out and have a better understanding of my own values. Whoops, this went off on a major tangent.
My run training today is 70 minutes with "MAV Shuttles" toward the beginning. MAV stands for Maximum Aerobic Velocity. They are 20 second sprints with 20 seconds of recovery in between, 8 efforts twice, with a 3-minute recovery in between the 2 sets. Then I have to still jog for another 40ish minutes. Whew. Going to try to do it before it gets too hot.
8/18 - 128.0 again, surprisingly. Last night's Mexican dinner might show up on the scale tomorrow, though. My mom is coming to spend the night and watch the kids in the morning while my husband does a big gravel bike ride and I go pick up one of the dogs from the intensive board and train she's been doing for two weeks. She's bringing pulled pork, coleslaw, and corn on the cob for dinner. Won't be the healthiest but at least it will be homemade! I have strength training on my workout schedule today, triceps and back. It's beautiful outside so I might sneak out for a mountain bike ride. I don't have a ton of work to do today, just ushering through some documents I need to get approved. Anyway, happy Friday everyone!
8/19 - 129.0. Darn. Didn’t keep my round goal weight. Part of it was the lousy night’s sleep I got last night thanks to the 2 year old. Going to try to behave today and get this weight back off. Saw my arms in my friend’s wedding photos and really want to get them smaller despite building muscle there. See everyone in the next round!4 -
I am about 12 kg along the way to lose 32 kg. I use multiple tape measurements (cm) around my body because they aren't affected by salt intake. Apparently I've been trying to lose weight since September 2012, the last time I was at goal weight. Let's see if stopping eating sugary food is going to change things.

Total is 785.5 cm, a loss from the last round of 790 cm.
This round has gone alright. I've decided to give myself a 500 day challenge - get to goal weight. Mark your calendar, 31st December next year. Is threewins at goal weight? I hope so. It's all theoretically possible but realistically, if I'm still having sugar, it's not going to happen.

About Me:This is my fourth round and really appreciated having someplace to stay accountable.
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. So far I've been doing great despite a lot of stress in my life. I had one "cheat" day on my son's 13th birthday because I made homemade pizza and enjoyed three slices of it. I have felt no need to "cheat" since then which makes me very happy. I keep telling myself I'll eat a bag of chips when I get to X weight, but that weight comes, and I feel no need to eat the chips and want to continue eating healthy to lose more weight. Amazing for a carb junkie.

8/10 - 265.8 - 3.04 miles - I had planned to work in the yard laying more mulch and shoveling rocks, but as I got close to home after my walk, I started feeling really queasy. I'm not sure if it was the heat (it was only in the mid-70s) or something else, but I decided to just go inside and rest instead. This weekend is supposed to be super hot so I'm not sure how much I can get done. The plan is to get to bed early today so I get up early tomorrow and get out for my walk in the early morning so I'm working in the yard before the heat sets in. We'll see how that goes.
8/11 - 264.8 - 2.37 miles - Worked for an hour in the yard shoveling rocks again and finished laying mulch on that side of the yard (YAY!). Then went on an hour walk when it started getting really hot. Didn't feel very well after that but it passed eventually. Then I spent 2.5 hours making homemade pizzas for the family so today was a cheat day. Last one was July 14 when I made pizza for my son's birthday. It tasted so good. Wish I could have more but I came in under my goal (barely and that's just an estimate). I'll make it up in the next couple of days so it's not a big deal.
8/12 - 264.2 - 3.29 miles - Went over on my calories today because I just couldn't resist having pizza for breakfast this morning (what is even the point if you don't eat it cold the next morning?). But I'll make it up in the next couple days--it's not the end of the world. I didn't do any yard work either because of the heat. I did go on an extra long walk by exploring some culdesacs along the route that I don't usually go down. We are now under a severe heat advisory or warning (can't remember which). It's supposed to be nearly 100F tomorrow so I doubt I do much and will get out for my walk really early. Same with Monday and Tuesday. Then my grandson is back so not sure what I'll do. Feeling good despite the stumbling with the pizza (I just cannot resist pizza; it's my favorite food).
8/13 - 268.2 - 3.06 miles - Four pounds! I'm not sure what to think about that. I made sure it was clean under the scale and reweighed myself. It didn't change. I'm not sure how eating 2 slices of pizza, half a sandwich, half a salad and a cup of pasta equals 4 pounds. According to my numbers I was only about 140 calories over my goal (not including exercise). Very strange, but not the end of the world. It just sets me back a few days I guess. I resisted eating any more of the pizza today and even passed on mac & cheese with dinner (had the burger and some fries, though). That gave me the space to have a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich (man, I love those things). I also pretty much finished the mulching of the yard. I have one bag left and have laid 18 of them. I still need to pull up some grass growing where it doesn't belong but it's looking much better. Thankfully, I got it done before the heatwave hit (supposed to be in the 100s all week I think). And with that heat, I need to be in bed early to be up early to do my hour of walking before the heat sets in for the day. So, I'm off to bed now.
8/14 - 266.4 - 3.01 miles - Got up a little before 7am and was out the door before 7:30 to get my walk in. By the time I got home around 8:45am, it was 74F and the sun was blazing. So glad I skipped coffee and just walked this morning because when we ran to the store at 3pm, it was 108F. I felt like I couldn't even breathe, it was so hot. Now there's apparently a fire across the river outside of Portland and blowing into town so the sky is kind of orange. Hopefully, it's not too bad in the morning. I hope to be out by 7:30 again, but not sure I want to try and push for three miles again with the even that early.
8/15 - 265.4 - 3.19 miles - Was out the door for my walk right after 7 this morning to avoid the heat again today (it's 100F at 6pm). Had a teledoc appointment at 10:30 to check my meds--am doing much better on this new regiment so sticking with it for three months (see her again on Halloween). And I finally got around to making the zucchini cake my son has been wanting since his birthday a month ago. I ended up just using a boxed carrot cake with added zucchini to it instead of making it from scratch (like I used to). Unfortunately, I did not leave myself enough calories today to enjoy a piece of it, especially with all the cream cheese frosting. I'm debating whether I'll try to fit it in tomorrow by eating less for dinner and scraping most of the frosting off. It smelled so good. I'm just going to have a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich instead.
8/16 - 262.6 - 3.19 miles - Had to use my miles from yesterday because my app went haywire and my route was all over the place and not where I actually walked which was the same route (in reverse) as yesterday. I also allowed myself half a piece of zucchini cake this morning but then tonight, I just got the munchies and allowed myself another half-serving of Veggie Straws. Had to force myself to stop there because I really just wanted to mindlessly finish off the bag. First time I've had a bad craving like that in a month and a half.
8/17 - 262.8 - 3.39 miles - Today, I managed to leave for my walk around 6:40. It was already in the low-70sF but it was much more pleasant. Now my problem is my walks are taking longer and longer to do the same amount. I got new shoes last week that I thought would help, but they've only made it worse. Within 20-30 minutes, my feet are aching in the new shoes. They start cramping up all over and my toes go numb. Then by the one-hour mark, my knee is aching and the pain is climbing up into my hip. It used to take me about an hour to walk 3 miles. Now it take me an hour and a half and by the end, I'm in so much pain I want to cry. I tried the other new shoes I got one day (new Sketchers slip-on walking shoes) and they gave me blisters. I guess I could go back to my old Sketchers that are worn almost all the way through. Yeah, my feet would get sore, but nothing like the pain I'm having now. If I don't switch back, I'm going to have to cut back my walk to 30 minutes again and I don't like backsliding.
8/18 - 262.8 - 3.66 miles - Didn't lose any, but didn't gain any either. I wore my old worn-out Sketchers to go on my walk today. Walked for 1.5 hours and went 3.6 miles. My feet were sore, but none of the cramping and pain in my knee and hip (I assume because my feet are cramping so I start walking oddly to help with the pain and that messes up other parts of my body). I think tomorrow I'm going to try the new Sketchers again but maybe bring a bag with my old ones in case they start rubbing. I have a huge blister on the bottom of my foot from the first time I wore them. Maybe as I lose more weight, the others will fit better and be more comfortable. Anyway, had a petite sirloin steak for dinner (was getting bored of pork roast). Made with a little butter and garlic and mushrooms on top. Yum.
8/19 - 262.0 - 2.99 miles - So I tried the new Sketchers again today. At first, everything seemed fine. There was a little rubbing at the back of my heel but it wasn't bothering me. And then BAM, like 15 minutes from home, I could feel it rubbing on the same blister on the bottom of my feet. Now I'm not sure which shoes to wear tomorrow. I made my goal weight for this round, too. This was a tough ten days with a lot of temptations and setbacks. I felt like I really fought for those five pounds. I have a feeling I've gotten to the point when I no longer lose quickly. It usually happens the closer I get to 250 and then I plateau. Hopefully, I'll get over this hump this time, though.2 -
@justanotherjen13 @SheilaBoneham I got this tip from my daughter when her son was playing basketball. My big toe always got bruised until I tried this - the lace “pulls” the toe of the shoe up.

I don’t know if there is a way to eliminate the rubbing on the bottom of your foot. I used to get blisters on my heels. My dad said it was because I didn’t wear socks but socks never helped - only made it worse!0 -

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- 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.
