Yay, back again for another round. Can't wait.

Jen; 46; 5'4"

About Me:

This is my sixth 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. This coming round, the kids go back to school and I'll be watching my grandson more so we'll see how that affects what and when I want to eat and when I can go on my walks. Hopefully, I can keep up the daily walking through September before the rains start later in fall.

Previous Rounds:

Round 234
heaviest: 294 (7/4/23)
SW: 252.8
GW (short term): 250
RGW: 248

8/30 - 254.2 - 3.12 miles - Not sure what I did yesterday. Didn't measure something right or just snacked a little too much (I got these Ritz crisp and thin crackers that are so yummy, I want to eat the whole bag). Oh well. Can't believe August is over already. Kids start back to school on Tuesday and back to the grind of having to get up at 7 every morning just to make sure my teens get up (17 and 13) in time to catch their buses to school. Then I have to watch my grandson during the day most of the week. But with the cooling weather, that means I can take my walk any time during the day. I was only doing it super early because it was so hot after 10am. I'm looking forward to losing more weight through the next month and not giving up yet.

@quiltingjaine I'm in Australia! I'm originally from Southern California though (Orange County). I've been in Australia for 8 1/2 years now. I'm not sure about the other time zones in the states, I'm a day ahead but 6 or 7 hours earlier than California depending on daylight savings. So for me, it was 10.04.am on Thursday when I made the post.

@meaganmama

for colours you use bbcode. you would use brackets [ ] and "color=color name" (or hex code) to change the color.

for example,

I want the word [ color=red ]RED[ /color ] to be the colour red
I want the word RED to be the colour red

You need to take out the spaces in the brackets though, and make sure you use the ending bracket when you don't want it to be that colour any more.

Good Luck to all this round- went off the true and proven MFP how to lose weight guidelines - Track track track- weigh weigh weigh! I surprise surprise surprise (only to me) gain my weight back. So I am striving to weigh me and my food and track these 10 days...

SW Round 234: 120.4
GW Round: 119
UGW 118

8/30- 120.4- Started last round great- and seemed to lose weight so decided to become complacent and not track- worked for a day or 2. Went immediately to my head- thought i did not need to measure anymore and no one here needs to guess what happen- only me. So back 2 rounds and trying again. Am proud of myself- Did Les Mills Body Pump last- think this was second time since my accident - but now with PT guidance I am confident- Very sore this morning and hoping the 4 ounces is from the high sodium dinner I had last night and my weight workout.

8/31- 119.8 Still sore from Body Pump workout there are several muscle groups in thighs I was not aware of before, and I used such little weight. I need to start scheduling that workout several times a week. Not much time this morning- I so enjoy reading all your post during breakfast but seeing the sleep doctor today. Nervous about what sleep study will involve. Having to prove I have insomnia and doze off constantly for a day or 2 sounds so miserable. I hope I can do on a weekend.

Round 234
August 30 – SEPT 8, 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 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!

thanks for the welcome, @pezhed !

SW Round 234 135.4

5'4" 30 year old female.

8/30 134.4 Yesterday was omad and I'm going to fast all day today until tomorrow noon. I'm impatient to get below 130. 10 days to 129.9. 10 days is achievable for a serious effort. 10 days of no eating out, meeting for drinks, or eating the office junk food. Wish me luck and good luck to you!
8/31 132.6 My fast was going well and I could have kept fasting until my husband came home from going out for laundry detergent with a rotisserie chicken... A new long term goal is a pair of pants I dug out. They zip with a nice muffin top so that's my motivation not to snack. I hung them in my pantry as my "why" and they kept me from snacking three times last night after dinner. So a healthy day yesterday, plenty of protein, vegetables with the chicken, no dessert or snacking afterwards, and I did 5 pushups. One day down with no sugar and I almost forgot the victory that I said no thanks to wine with dinner.

8/31-166-Rode the bike 9 miles and that felt good. Rode the horse and then gave him a bath. Planted 3 small flower beds in front of the house; I need to plant in front of our bedroom window next. DH does not like yard work and I told him that if he had sprinklers and grass put in, I would plant everything else. I couldn’t see paying someone to pick out the plants and paying them to plant everything. Plus, I enjoy doing it.

Surprised I’m down since I was over my calorie goal. All good. It’s a cool, gloomy morning here, no rain in the forecast but we’re completely overcast. Good day for a walk, though, so off I go.

08/31 - 186, no idea
There are the extra calories from Tues, and yesterday I went to a little bash a friend had to celebrate her birthday and the umpty zillion titles she’s earned with her two dogs. It was at a rib joint, with an outdoor buffet (so dogs could be there 😊) of several meats plus sides and dessert. I ate at home, but did sample sides and a mini carrot bundt cake that was fabulous. It was a nice evening, but caloric. Oh, well. Today I’m headed for the river greenway, and this evening I have competition obedience and scent work classes, so hopefully burn calories for me and energy for the pup. Aiming to eat low low low today.

I already posted today but I have feelings I want to get out. My husband knows I'm trying to lose weight now and he's supportive and not suggesting fast food or bringing home unhealthy food. Am I crazy for having slightly hurt feelings that he's not like, "oh no, you don't need to lose weight/you shouldn't fast" etc.? Like, I want him to be supportive as he is, but I also want him to tell me I'm crazy for thinking that I'm so out of shape. Now that I'm not bloated and blotchy from sweets and pizza I feel better and look better and realize I didn't lose all my muscle over the summer so getting back into shape will be easier for me than I thought. So that's good, but anyone else have mixed feelings about your partner's support? Like, I need you to be supportive but not too supportive. Irrational rant over.

I think that's normal! I Don't think it's irrational at all. I feel the same when my BF makes a comment, but I realize he's saying it coming from a loving place because he says much the same about himself - "I need to lose a little weight, I have too much excess fat and it has the potential to have health consequences (he's 9 years older and they're starting to present themselves in him which is a wake up call for me), I need to get in shape, I shouldn't be so out of breath from that little activity, etc" He supports me, but I know he doesn't say "you're silly you don't" because he knows I'll accept that and not work to improve my health. Me working to improve my health helps him, too, since I've been cooking more and therefore making him eat healthier and I'm being a positive influence. Maybe selfish on his part, but it does help me by not letting me settle because he says its okay to settle if that makes sense.

Day, Weight, Comment
8/30 - 152.3
8/31 - 152.4 - Normal fluctuation, I'm assuming. Dinner did have a half a cup of heavy cream and a quarter cup of Parmesan cheese which I didn't take my lactose pills for and that may have caused it. I was well under calories, even with my wine. I have one more glass of wine left in the bottle and then I can take a break for a bit which I'm looking forward to after tonight. Dinner is on BF (steak) so I may be up tomorrow due to sodium, depending on which carby side he makes (butter noodles vs rice. Rice will have less sodium). I had a delightful banana bread overnight oats- it was so delicious! I have one more for tomorrow as the recipe calls for 1/2 banana and I had 1 banana left to use up. Took pups for a walk this morning and scheduled for a walk and kettlebell workout tomorrow. Otherwise, just focusing on moving through the day and reaching 10k steps (a goal to keep me moving, really). Unsure lunch but I have lots of spinach and bell peppers to use up as well as some mushrooms. I'm sure I'll figure something out so I'm not wasteful. I work tomorrow so I may push my grocery shopping to Saturday but I still need to make a menu for next week so I know what to get at the store! This has been really great, not only for my health (I can plan ahead), but it really has saved a lot of money on groceries.

Previous Day's Comments

8/30 - I behaved well yesterday and the scale shows it. Nearly 2 lbs dropped off overnight. I knew at least 1lb was bloat but it's nice to see it drop in the lower 152 range. Now to keep that up. I'm not sure if I want to adjust my goal to 151.x or not. I think I will and adjust back up to maintenance (152.x) as needed once we get closer to the end and I know more what this round will hold as far as surprises and unexpected changes to diet/exercise. The plumbing for the tub and therefore the tub/shroud will be installed today for the guest bathroom. BF can then work on installing and floating drywall tonight into the weekend. Hopefully we'll (read: I will) be painting this weekend so we can finalize everything before Monday. We got a great deal on tile and flooring for our master bathroom so we spent the last of the loan on that (the majority of the loan went towards those unexpected legal fees so we're now nickel-and-diming our master bath remodel). With prices increasing seemingly daily, we didn't want to wait as those were the two most expensive items on our bathroom remodel list. We kept it under $1,000 for the entire flooring and all the tiling we think we'll need. Plenty of manual labor around the house to keep me active and busy!

I'm Amanda, back again for another round. I'm 5'2", 38F in Virginia.

SW Round 234: 127.4
GW Round 234: 126.0
Setting some non-scale goals as well:
💪🏻 work out 9/10 days
✏️ track food 6/10 days
💧 drink 64oz of water 10/10 days

8/30: 💪🏻✏️💧 127.4 - My DH is on an alcohol-free kick and it's so helpful to me. We are chief enablers of each other. I'm significantly less likely to have a drink if he isn't and I'm sure the reverse is true. We haven't gone many consecutive days without a drink in a LONG time. I'm cautious about setting hard and fast rules around it in the event that I rebel really hard against myself, so I am just going to take it a day at a time. Today will be alcohol-free for sure, as were the past two nights. I tracked my intake yesterday and it's definitely *much* easier to stay in range when I don't have to add any alcohol calories!!

Today I'll track again. My plan was to strength train today but I slept wrong somehow and my shoulder feels awful. I will probably pivot to yoga or mobility training instead. I hope it doesn't hurt for too long and interfere with my half marathon training. We're coming down to the wire - September 17th!

8/31: 128.0 - surprised the damage isn't worse after last night's salt-fest. Might see even more on the scale tomorrow. I went over by 700ish calories yesterday because we ended up going out to dinner at a Japanese restaurant. I also ended up drinking sake instead of no alcohol. The one thing I am proud of is that I didn't drink any more when we got home! I tend to like to keep it rolling after getting home from dinner. My work life is feast or famine and I am in feast mode right now, making it hard for me to fit in my fitness goals or literally anything else. Some weeks I can hold it down while spending hours taking care of myself, but weeks like this one I have to crank at my desk. It all balances out as far as work/life balance goes, but the stressful weeks are made harder by the lack of time to easily fit in workouts which exponentially help my mental health. Add to that the sleep deprivation I'm operating under this week (thanks, 2-year-old), and I'm surprised I'm functioning at all.

I already posted today but I have feelings I want to get out. My husband knows I'm trying to lose weight now and he's supportive and not suggesting fast food or bringing home unhealthy food. Am I crazy for having slightly hurt feelings that he's not like, "oh no, you don't need to lose weight/you shouldn't fast" etc.? Like, I want him to be supportive as he is, but I also want him to tell me I'm crazy for thinking that I'm so out of shape. Now that I'm not bloated and blotchy from sweets and pizza I feel better and look better and realize I didn't lose all my muscle over the summer so getting back into shape will be easier for me than I thought. So that's good, but anyone else have mixed feelings about your partner's support? Like, I need you to be supportive but not too supportive. Irrational rant over.

@potasha I think this relates a bit to you being 30. I certainly had many similar feelings when I was younger. At 62, I am super happy simply when my husband is on board with what MY wishes are. I'm sure that from his point of view, I did not need to get under 125 lb, but I think I have done something healthy for myself and I am happy about it. There is a moto that men often repeat "Happy wife. Happy life." I think my husband has learned to support me if I am making good choices (note: he is very willing to nicely nudge me when they are bad.) Edit: shoot, I'm not yet 62. Close but not there.

8/30 162.5 - Walked 1 mile in the morning, 20 min bike ride at lunch, and 64 oz of water today. I'm trying to keep my carbs under 50g as I've been experiencing stomach pains, mostly likely connected to how much sugar I've been eating lately. I'm expecting to drop weight quickly at first due to the near-constant bloating I usually have. Even if it's just water weight and not actually fat loss, the pain relief will be worth it.
8/31 163.2 - I fell prey to some late-night snacking last night. I was hungry during that in-between time while cooking dinner and should have just eaten something then. Instead, I waited until dinner and by then I was ravenous. Lesson learned: eat when hungry even if it seems out of place, that way I'm not running for more food later.
