Round 234
MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
ROUND 191 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
R233 EW= 191.8
R234 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 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/29 …..191.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
08/30 -192.2- (Trend weight 195.6)
08/31 -191.8- (Trend weight 195.2) I’m posting late due to the travel to the endocrinologist today for my diabetes. His scale showed that I was down a couple of pounds from my last visit. He was happy to see my glucose numbers on my monitor were better. He reminded me that excess sugars in the blood are stored as fat and when I keep my numbers better, I maintain much better and even lose weight. I needed that reminder. I left feeling very inspired and able. I ate most of my Chicken Alfredo at the restaurant for lunch today. It was so so good. I will finish the rest tonight for dinner so I will be 100% back on plan tomorrow. I will not be snacking tonight since it is already getting late. Tomorrow I have a huge bow window being put in my living room to replace the old picture window that was flanked on each side. I also have to start getting up early on Fridays to drive my kindergarten grandson to the nearby bus stop by 7:20 am. I have to get him up and get him ready for school since I always babysit on Thursday nights and Fridays. Then I will pick him up from the bus stop at about 4:00 pm. I am not looking forward to getting up that early since sleep is already so elusive. It’s not that I can’t handle the 6:30 part (which is when I’ll need to get up). It’s that no matter what time I get up, I seem to need about 2 hours to chill, drink coffee and get ready to see other human beings and be nice. Ah well.
09/01 -193.2- (Trend weight 195.0) Well, there’s the Pasta affect. Always with Pasta! No worries though, this too shall pass. I am planning a good day today. Didn’t have to put my DGS on the bus afterall. I forgot it was a holiday weekend and no school today. Where does the time go?

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.

Wow—September! Hard to believe. It’s a gorgeous fall-like day here, but the heat is coming back next week. Happy Friday, everyone.

SW Round 234: 195 lbs
GW Rounds 234: 193 lbs
8/30: 195 lbs - Currently working in a kitchen (training new employees) instead of my normal desk job. So, 7 active hours working in a non-air conditioned kitchen & I walked 2 miles while my daughter was in dance class. Calories at 1,500 for the day & I am OK with that.
8/31: 193.4 lbs - 1st week back to school is kicking my butt, ready for bed when I put my daughter down at 8:30 each night this week lol. Had errands to run after work/school pickup, was able to work in fast food dinner and still be at 1,334 for the day which I am happy about. I am really enjoying reading all of the comments each day. This challenge is really helping me to hold myself accountable.

@deepwoodslady, Donna, I do still have the post. I have to check if the links are still active. I don't have time this weekend to update it though.

Hello, I am 54, 5'9" and am making a switch from Weight Watchers to MFP. I just started today and found the challenge making the switch even better. My goals for the 10 days are to track, be active in some way each day and drink at least 64 oz of water.
SW Round 234: 232.4
GW Round 234: 228.4
Round goals: track, move, drink water
8/30 - 232.4
Today went well. I am in a 484 caloric deficit with a 2.5 mile walk in 34 mins
8/31 - 231.6
In 2 days I have discovered a couple of things about myself: 1) I am not as technically capable as I thought 🤔 and 2) I plan well but my execution is mid level at best. This has been made even more difficult as we lost our mother last Friday and are simply moving between worlds of reeling in sadness and limbo of not knowing how to move to the next day or even the next hour. So today was made an errand day which consumed a great deal of time but not steps, just enough to end in a deficit, so I'll take it. I'm very nervous about the weekend, we have 5 family events to attend all with food and drink. My goal is to get movement done every morning and track the best I can without stress eating. 🤞

3 days into using MFP and actually logging and planning everything. I’m hitting my calorie goal, and even though it feels like I’m eating A LOT the scale is moving in the right direction, so something must be going right. Struggling so much with getting the macros in the right place. I tend to go over with fats, but I think I see some places I can make changes in next weeks meal plan to get everything more in line. Hopefully.
Didn’t get a morning workout in today, I’ll do a longer one in the afternoon. I’ve actually made my own 12 week workout plan, and I think I overestimated my abilities. My body is so sore and I’m only on the third day! For the sake of consistency, I might cut down to 1 workout per day for this challenge, and then start back at the beginning of the plan doing the two per day. It’s meant to be circuit training in the morning and cardio in the afternoon most days, but I really didn’t realise how unfit I’ve become. It’s defeating and motivating at the same time.
Thurs.31.08:
The scale’s still moving in the right direction despite no exercise yesterday. We ended up getting crazy afternoon storms so I didn’t get out for a walk. Overslept again this morning, I’ve gotten in the terrible habit of sleeping in since my partner has been working at home. He used to leave at 5am to catch the train which would wake me. Now I’m not waking up until around 7, even if I set an alarm, I half wake up to turn it off and go back to sleep. So frustrating! But sticking to my meal plan and the 8 hour window has been a breeze – so my diet’s on track. It’s important to remember that this isn’t all or nothing, and that progress in one area still counts even if I don’t progress in another area. And to just take everything one day at a time.
Fri.01.09:
Forgot to have my snack between lunch and dinner yesterday, so I ended up having to add a few things to my dinner to get my calories up. Still only finished at just over 1300, rather than above the 1400 that’s my target. Then have been busy this morning, so didn’t even get to breakfast until 1230pm, and my lunch is meant to be at 100pm. So I’ll have a late lunch soon (about 215pm now), and hopefully be on track and somewhat hungry for dinner. At least my “snack” this afternoon is just a smoothie, so I can actually have that with my lunch.
Anyway, down almost 2.5kgs (just over 5lbs) since Monday! Gotta love how quickly it comes off at first. I’m sure it will slow down next week, but we’ll see. I am quite a bit higher than where my body has tended to settle in the past 5 or so years, so I’m assuming weight loss to that point might be a bit quicker than typical.
Sat.02.09:
Posting early today because it’s the weekend and it will be a busy day! Taking the girls shopping this morning and also hopefully getting myself some new jeans. I’ve been trying to avoid it, because I’m hoping they won’t fit me for long. But my favourite jeans were already big on me (I could pull them up over my bum and hips without unbuttoning them) and now they’re literally falling off. But mostly it will just be a lot of walking around the shops and the girls trying stuff on that they’re never going to buy. They both have jobs, and even though we buy them anything that is needed, they use their money on frivolous purchases. Which typically results in a LOT of try-on's and a lot of "do I really want this?" ... and then on to the next shop 😅
It's also father’s day in Australia tomorrow, so we need to get a card! (Gifts have already been bought). Will likely check in late tomorrow, as I'm doing father's day breakfast and then I think we're going out riding. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

@cchassee @camandjarvis There are three of us october that I know of. I am the 26th. Funny you both have issues figuring our your age as well. :P
Camandjarvis. A larger differential for DH and I would likely help my "age" issue. DH and I met in 8th grade math class which explains our proximity.
Mine is the 17th. I AM CRACKING UP!

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.
9/1- 119.0 My legs are still sore from my work out Tuesday, luckily shoulder isn' since I off to PT early. Never know if I will have a good night playing pickleball- but last night was great. I struggled with exhaustion all day, but woke up during the first game, was wired at 9 PM who I left. I had glass of milk but did not eat anything, showered and went to bed early. Good news Sleep doctor says I do not have prove my insomnia with sleep study, testing is really for sleep apnea. Do relief there. Still more challenges ahead.
9/2- 118.6 WOW! honestly not sure what to do- have not been this weight for at least 7-8 years...I guess figuring out how to maintain is my next step. I have been encouraged by my PT to now do Body Pump which is a weight lifting class, so need to now commit to that class 3 times a week. Mmm may have to look into this more this weekend. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

9/02 - 152.4 - Scale bounced everywhere from 150.x to 155.x before I stepped off, let it reset, and tried again. It bounced a bit, but finally settled. This is 100% sodium. I was higher on calories, but still within MFP goals. My jeep was ready for pickup and we ended up going to grab a late lunch (2pm) on the way to pick it up as we both had work happening through lunch. Said lunch was Asian, so I was anticipating the sodium uptick today. Dinner was chicken and dirty rice, with bell peppers added. Not the healthiest, but not terrible. I focused mainly on the chicken and didn't eat as much rice. Overall, I ate much less than normal of that meal. Partially, I'm assuming due to the late lunch keeping me somewhat full and partially due to being better at listening to my body while eating much slower. Breaking the quick eating habits of the Army is taking years but I'm starting to see progress. Mindset shift was the biggest factor.

Previous Day's Comments8/30 - 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!
8/31 - 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.
9/01 - Well that was unexpected. BF went to Thirsty Thursday (the VFW is open to the public in this town, unlike others, so the entire group can go despite BF and I being the only veterans). I didn't go as I just realized yesterday that Monday is a holiday. I have 2 very big important meetings on Tuesday I need to prep for and without Monday to work on them, I needed to really dig deep (no distractions) and work with multiple monitors - something that can only be done if I stay home. Good thing - a friend really needed a deep heart to heart with BF. Because of that, I ended up cooking and the butter noodles were decidedly less salty because I used garlic powder with only a smidgen of garlic salt whereas BF uses nothing but garlic salt. Steaks could've been better but it's been since BF and I got together 5 years ago that I last made them - that's always been his meal to make. Today I'm skipping grocery shopping, though I have meals planned and a list ready - I'm working and will be doing more deep focusing with multiple monitors. Goal is to drink plenty of water, don't mindlessly eat at my desk, and get up to move at least every hour.

9/2 ⚖️ 137
It’s official. My body is seriously different. WHAT AM I?! No whosh at all since the beginning. NONE! I’m sorry, but I just want a whosh!
Yesterday was a lazy day. Got in 8K steps and barely 45 minutes of exercise. I felt like my body just needed a break and a rest day. Back on it today. Calories: 1171, macros✅. But I’m still not eating enough. Still want to get below 130 and stay there. Just how long will it take? And of course I realize once I get to maintenance it’s going to be FOREVER… Once I hit my weight goal, I’m going to hire a trainer for 4-6 wks (reward) to keep me going.
NSV: Braved the scale. Not fun. BUT: Cannot begin to express how much better I feel… Mentally, I have to keep at it.
9/1 I think I forgot to post yesterday? and I’m too lazy to go back and check for a third time.
Checked off all my daily goals yesterday. Still haven’t done 12-3-30 for several days. I can’t decide if I want to do it today because I’m still sipping coffee! I got my 10k steps in yesterday plus two hours of exercise minutes… Burning 800+ active calories. I consumed about 1200 cal yesterday. I don’t think I’m eating enough, but nothing in my house is tempting me… Maybe that’s the way it should be?!
Oh, I did splurge yesterday and added HALF A SMALL BANANA in my protein shake… Half a banana sent my carbs into oblivion. It was NOT NOT NOT worth it…
Lots of errands today. Get to see my grandson and oh…. (The ⚖️ is tomorrow. Ugh!) And must go to the grocery to prep for the next few days….
NSV. i’m feeling so much better. Not only physically, but mentally. Definitely still having moments of doubt, (now) since it’s taking so DAMN long to lose a freaking ounce… A literal ounce!
I’ll be sure to dedicate my body to science …. Because it is definitely an anomaly. What has changed so much in three years? In 2020, I lost 15 pounds in eight weeks and kept most off till nine months ago… Now I’m struggling to lose 7 IN 40 days… Go figure!
The heat’s over and today WILL be a very good day! (Coffee complete!)
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
🛑🎢!
———————————-
8/30 I checked off all my boxes yesterday except 10k steps (only 8k). No strength training or 12-3-30 yesterday either (travel). And I probably won’t get to it today because I’m still traveling today. Sticking to calories /macros and playing tennis tonight.
1230 cal yesterday/ 95 exercise minutes. Got my protein by adding a protein shake… Back to IF because the weather is cooler. MFP Is now 💯 a daily habit. Recording every morsel.
Thoroughly engaged reading everyone’s posts yesterday. Many kernels of wisdom. Our struggles are the same but different. It’s all a battle of the mind…. Thought patterns. Change /stop unhealthy thought patterns, and actions will change. I have to keep pounding that in my head….
Pretty sure the heat wave is gone. Yesterday was in the 70s as I walked outside… This morning is even cooler - I almost feel like I need a sweater! 😃
Still moving forward.
Good luck 🍀 to everyone!

Hello, I am 54, 5'9" and am making a switch from Weight Watchers to MFP. I just started today and found the challenge making the switch even better. My goals for the 10 days are to track, be active in some way each day and drink at least 64 oz of water.

Previous Days' Reflections Let's see if the spoiler works 🫣8/30 - 232.4
Today went well. I am in a 484 caloric deficit with a 2.5 mile walk in 34 mins
8/31 - 231.6
In 2 days I have discovered a couple of things about myself: 1) I am not as technically capable as I thought 🤔 and 2) I plan well but my execution is mid level at best. This has been made even more difficult as we lost our mother last Friday and are simply moving between worlds of reeling in sadness and limbo of not knowing how to move to the next day or even the next hour. So today was made an errand day which consumed a great deal of time but not steps, just enough to end in a deficit, so I'll take it. I'm very nervous about the weekend, we have 5 family events to attend all with food and drink. My goal is to get movement done every morning and track the best I can without stress eating. 🤞
9/1 - 230.3
Big celebrations today led to big family meals and very little activity. Youngest of our six got his driver's license today, finally got to celebrate our oldest daughter, but one of our middles, birthday today, and our youngest daughter and her husband were in town for dinner. We are a loud bunch of 12-13 when we get together and definitely enjoy being together 💕
Unbelievably, I still tracked like it was my full time job! My NSV today was the Mexican restaurant. A total of 3 chips, yes just 3, ordered the chicken fajitas and split the plate right down the center immediately. I ate the first half, saved the second and touched none of the sides. I did have 1 margarita but it was a planned indulgence so I felt very accomplished. Tomorrow's activity will be very high and I actually feel balanced and not deprived because of a diet. 🤗

9/2 vacation but I have data IF from 7-9 yesterday. Most of the day was travel and I was fasted through all of it. What a relief to have a reason to not get all the cruddy yet addictively yummy snacks from gas stations and then feel bad afterwards. Instead I got to have homemade dinner with family and homemade dessert. Today the challenge is to wait until noon for breakfast and keep my cutoff time to 8pm. I know every pound lost right now is water weight but I'm eating less than 1600 calories a day in the IF window so I can be sure that I'm in a deficit. As weird as it is to say, I'm actually eating more real food during this, even though it's fewer calories and in such a short span of time than my normal. Most of my enjoyment from food have been from quick fix snacks and processed snacks and frozen treats. I'd honestly rather have a mcflurry than a steak dinner any time of day, but during this fasting all the food I'm craving and then eating is real wholesome food. Hopefully this experience helps me form a habit of eating whole meals that will let me live a simpler sustainable healthy lifestyle. I guess I grew up in a family where we mostly fended for ourselves and ate what we could find and never passed up the opportunity to eat. Now I still eat that way as a default. What a terrible habit to have. I am hopeful that this experience will help change that for the long-term.

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.
09/01 - 185.8, 1442
Wow—September! Hard to believe. It’s a gorgeous fall-like day here, but the heat is coming back next week. Happy Friday, everyone.
09/02 - 185.6, 1516
Housework, weeds, and a walk on the day’s agenda. I also need to go through my drawers and closets, do some culling, and see what I need to replace. I’m determined not to have to go up a size, and I’m trying to decide whether to get rid of clothes that are too small or keep them. I’m not sure whether seeing them on the shelf — literally — is motivating or depressing. Sometimes I think I should just accept that this is my weight (I’ve been close to where I am now since I ballooned up four years ago), since I’m not taking the weight back off. Then I kick myself because if I lost it once, I can lose it again. Maybe set a very modest goal for now? 10 pounds? 20? Or no weight goal, just food and behavior? Anyway, off to vacuum, then outdoors. Have a lovely Saturday.

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.
9/1: 💧✏️💪🏻 125.8! That's a nice unexpected whoosh! I think focusing on water is helping me shed some long-retained water. Fridays tend to be my lightest day, then I head into the weekend and undo my progress from the weekdays. We don't have any major plans this weekend, but alcohol is on the docket. We're having friends over for dinner tonight, then tomorrow I may be doing a walking tailgate for our local college football game. The university my husband works at has a huge football following (they were good, once upon a time, though certainly not in the 5 years we've lived here), and tomorrow is their first game of the season, so the town is sure to be rowdy. My friends are doing a stroller tailgate where I guess they push their kids around town and drink beer haha. What could go wrong? Anyway, thinking of joining them for that, but I also won't be bothered if we stay out of chaos. Today I have an easy 45-minute run scheduled and I'm hoping to fit in some strength training as well. The weather is GORGEOUS (70s and low humidity, my absolute favorite) so I'm going to do the run outside. Happy FriYAY, all!
9/2: 125.8. Surprised to maintain after going significantly over calories yesterday! My overage from yesterday may catch up tomorrow, though. It definitely seems to take a day a lot of times.

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

Round 234
MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
ROUND 191 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
R233 EW= 191.8
R234 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 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.

09/01 -193.2- (Trend weight 195.0) Well, there’s the Pasta affect. Always with Pasta! No worries though, this too shall pass. I am planning a good day today. Didn’t have to put my DGS on the bus after all. I forgot it was a holiday weekend and no school today. Where does the time go?
09/02 -192.2- (Trend weight 194.7) The handymen were here until 11:00 pm with unexpected work on the new bow window in the living room. The old handyman is the one who purchased and brought the window in and his measurements were off by quite a bit so there was a lot of retrofitting involved. There are still a few finishing touches to be done next week. So….it was a grab & go day for food all day. I was WAY OVER on the carbs but my calories were under plan. No exercise. Exhausted when they left but slept very good last night. I’m Shocked & Thrilled to see the scale was okay this morning. I plan a peaceful day today but will try to get off my butt and do some form of exercise. I’ve been getting way too lax on it, even on days I can easily fit something in.

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 234 (my 164th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, so grateful.
Goal this round is to get under and stay under 138, I really don’t want to keep hovering around 140 pounds. Holiday is now in 12 days! Clothes do feel more comfortable but. I still need to crack on & lose a few more pounds, but can't let up: time is running out! I’ve done it before so I can do it again if I keep knuckling down!! Really try to stay on track & do another complete round without binging. 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.

8/29 138.8 – would have liked to see a drop as was extremely careful this round, but it is what it is!! 6.35 miles walked yesterday and travelled back home, less than 50% calories eaten back. Clothes are definitely a more comfortable fit, despite a 0.6 pound increase this round, I am doing daily toning exercises.
SW Round 234 139.8
8/30 139.8 – 10.78 miles walked, 75% exercise calories eaten back. Out to lunch yesterday with DSs (3), it was the youngest’s birthday, declined a cocktail and tried to chose sensibly. Hopefully this is just a normal fluctuation.
8/31 DNW – out really early to get up to childmind DGSs and forgot!!
9/1 141.6 – oh dear fell off big time yesterday, back on it today!!
9/2 140 – that’s better! Better choices, & no binges. 5.71 miles walked, 50 calories over.

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.

Wow—September! Hard to believe. It’s a gorgeous fall-like day here, but the heat is coming back next week. Happy Friday, everyone.

Housework, weeds, and a walk on the day’s agenda. I also need to go through my drawers and closets, do some culling, and see what I need to replace. I’m determined not to have to go up a size, and I’m trying to decide whether to get rid of clothes that are too small or keep them. I’m not sure whether seeing them on the shelf — literally — is motivating or depressing. Sometimes I think I should just accept that this is my weight (I’ve been close to where I am now since I ballooned up four years ago), since I’m not taking the weight back off. Then I kick myself because if I lost it once, I can lose it again. Maybe set a very modest goal for now? 10 pounds? 20? Or no weight goal, just food and behavior? Anyway, off to vacuum, then outdoors. Have a lovely Saturday.

When I was losing weight I used to love closet shopping - getting into the clothes that were previously too small. I'd like to get back into that, once again I have loads of clothes that are too small and not so many that fit. I had to back down this weekend and purchase a couple of pairs of shorts and a dress to go with the ones that I can still get into for holiday ( 9 days!), I want to lose again, but am finding it so hard, my will power is not as good as it was
.
I know that you are struggling just like me, I had exactly those same thoughts on Wednesday & Thursday, before I came to my senses again and turned myself around - again!!!! Don't know why I keep doing this.
If you would like that closet shopping then you might not want to get rid of the smaller sizes. Just a thought? Keep the faith, I am sure that both of us will get to where we want to be again sometime in the future.7 -

3 days into using MFP and actually logging and planning everything. I’m hitting my calorie goal, and even though it feels like I’m eating A LOT the scale is moving in the right direction, so something must be going right. Struggling so much with getting the macros in the right place. I tend to go over with fats, but I think I see some places I can make changes in next weeks meal plan to get everything more in line. Hopefully.
Didn’t get a morning workout in today, I’ll do a longer one in the afternoon. I’ve actually made my own 12 week workout plan, and I think I overestimated my abilities. My body is so sore and I’m only on the third day! For the sake of consistency, I might cut down to 1 workout per day for this challenge, and then start back at the beginning of the plan doing the two per day. It’s meant to be circuit training in the morning and cardio in the afternoon most days, but I really didn’t realise how unfit I’ve become. It’s defeating and motivating at the same time.
Thurs.31.08:
The scale’s still moving in the right direction despite no exercise yesterday. We ended up getting crazy afternoon storms so I didn’t get out for a walk. Overslept again this morning, I’ve gotten in the terrible habit of sleeping in since my partner has been working at home. He used to leave at 5am to catch the train which would wake me. Now I’m not waking up until around 7, even if I set an alarm, I half wake up to turn it off and go back to sleep. So frustrating! But sticking to my meal plan and the 8 hour window has been a breeze – so my diet’s on track. It’s important to remember that this isn’t all or nothing, and that progress in one area still counts even if I don’t progress in another area. And to just take everything one day at a time.
Fri.01.09:
Forgot to have my snack between lunch and dinner yesterday, so I ended up having to add a few things to my dinner to get my calories up. Still only finished at just over 1300, rather than above the 1400 that’s my target. Then have been busy this morning, so didn’t even get to breakfast until 1230pm, and my lunch is meant to be at 100pm. So I’ll have a late lunch soon (about 215pm now), and hopefully be on track and somewhat hungry for dinner. At least my “snack” this afternoon is just a smoothie, so I can actually have that with my lunch.
Anyway, down almost 2.5kgs (just over 5lbs) since Monday! Gotta love how quickly it comes off at first. I’m sure it will slow down next week, but we’ll see. I am quite a bit higher than where my body has tended to settle in the past 5 or so years, so I’m assuming weight loss to that point might be a bit quicker than typical.
Sat.02.09:
Posting early today because it’s the weekend and it will be a busy day! Taking the girls shopping this morning and also hopefully getting myself some new jeans. I’ve been trying to avoid it, because I’m hoping they won’t fit me for long. But my favourite jeans were already big on me (I could pull them up over my bum and hips without unbuttoning them) and now they’re literally falling off. But mostly it will just be a lot of walking around the shops and the girls trying stuff on that they’re never going to buy. They both have jobs, and even though we buy them anything that is needed, they use their money on frivolous purchases. Which typically results in a LOT of try-on's and a lot of "do I really want this?" ... and then on to the next shop 😅
It's also father’s day in Australia tomorrow, so we need to get a card! (Gifts have already been bought). Will likely check in late tomorrow, as I'm doing father's day breakfast and then I think we're going out riding. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Sun.03.09:
No change on the scale today, but that’s okay. I knew I couldn’t keep losing at the rate I was going! Made brekkie wraps for father’s day breakfast, so I broke my fast a bit earlier today than usual which means no dinner tonight. That’s okay though. Brekkie wraps are one of my favourite “indulgence” breakfasts, and I had a bottled ice coffee which are rare treats for me as well. I managed to fit it in to my macros and calorie goal though. Not sure if everything I tracked was completely accurate, the bacon is from a local butcher and has no nutrition info on the package. This is one of the reasons I ended up not following through with using MFP last time. But I tried to choose an item in the database that was right down the middle amongst the “streaky bacon” options and went by grams, so hopefully it’s pretty close to accurate.
Not much planned for the rest of today, we were supposed to go riding this morning but my partner woke up not feeling 100%. We have his daughter here for the weekend, and she’s been sick, so he’s likely caught what she has. So I think I’ve just got a quiet day taking care of a giant man baby with man-flu for the rest of the day. I will get meal prepping for myself and lunch/snacks done for everyone else, and clean the house.
