9/11 Yesterday: cleaned house and got organized. Down day. Dragging from long weekend. Decided to stay quiet and skip all activities listening to my body. I guess I just talked myself out of “doing”… Perhaps too much salt? Feeling burned out? No motivation yesterday…. 1100 cal. 6k steps. Drank tons of water and enjoyed watching the U.S. Open final. Went to bed early.
Big morning of tennis and steps planned for today. ( 👀— w/Increased activity goals, can I do it?!) I’m wondering if too ambitious? Shall see… Hiking trip in 5 weeks…. Will keep ⬆️ protein and drink TONS of 💦! … ⚖️tomorrow….
I’m beginning to realize /absorb/ accept that losing 1 pound every 10 days is pretty much equal to “maintenance”… I’m starting to realize that I have to maintain THIS MUCH CRAZY ACTIVITY while eating 1200 to 1400 cal a day to maintain?!?!!! This is a HUGE 💡realization. I’ve always known that as you get older your body needs less calories but this is a dramatic new finding for me to accept as reality. I looked at some old data and my actual BMR is between 1220 and 1250, not 1440 as I had first thought … this is a very scary thought… So the reason why I put on weight these last few months is not because I went on some wild gluttonous eating and drinking spree… It’s simply because my body has shifted into some type of geriatric hell hole… Can anyone identify? Can anyone prove me wrong?! Inquiring minds want to know!
In the meantime, I need to walk about 6 miles today to keep off a few eggs, a zero carb protein shake, and some cottage cheese. Welcome to my NEW world! 🤣
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
🛑🎢!
———————————-
9/10 ⚖️ 137.4 Just a short recap for yesterday … Even though the scale went up, I had quite a good day yesterday…. I DID NOT hit all of my increased activity goals yesterday because of the ALL Day football game … I had enough sodium for an army … I do expect to flush out today…. (I had a bag of roasted salted peanuts at the game…. ) Temptation all around me so I’d say I got an “A” yesterday! 11k steps, 1476 cal, 80 exercise minutes, 677 exercise calories burned. TONS of water. But unfortunately, too much salt! It’s good to know in my head that there’s no way I actually gained weight yesterday … just retaining fluids!
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
🛑🎢!
———————————-
9/9 Dinner out with good friends last night - pre planned splurge with one carb-free cocktail. Stayed 💯 through dinner then enjoyed dessert without guilt. Macros 🚫 but aware.
Today - headed to college game day festivities… Can’t imagine being tempted by anything today. 🤣 But I am prepared… Feeling good! (Will get a workout in this morning!) Lots of 💦 today!
🤔I would sincerely like to get to 128 for my 65th birthday… ( 10/17) But based upon my results thus far, I doubt I’ll get there … it’s simply been ultra slow. It’s just reality. Whatever it takes AND however long it takes. If it takes 2 to 4 weeks longer, I’m good. 🙌🏻 Will keep at it!
Good Luck Everyone! 🍀🍀🍀
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻

SW Round 235
9/9 217.2
9/10 216.0 I don’t think this is totally accurate – although it did show twice on the scale which has happened in a while. It’s possible that yesterday’s weight wasn’t accurate. Either way – I’ll take it!
9/11 – 215.4 still not sure this is correct but not going to argue!

Round 235
MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
ROUND 192 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
R234 EW= 192.0
R235 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
09/08 …..192.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
09/09 -192.0- (Trend weight 193.6)
09/10 -194.2- (Trend weight 193.7) I had a very good day yesterday but I stayed up way way too late and ended up hungry enough for another meal that was unplanned for and put me over budget, so to speak. Today I will choose one of my lower calorie/carb days on the zig-zag plan to get back in line. I really need to get in more steps and movement today somehow also. I’m expecting my DD and DGS over this afternoon so that may be difficult.
09/11 -192.4- (Trend weight 193.6) I kept to plan and made sure my calories and carbs were extra low yesterday and it paid off. Luckily I was able to find some things that were high volume and/or high fat to keep me full on less calories and carbs. I got in some extra exercise yesterday too with 41 minutes on the exercise bike using HIIT. Now, to have another good day.

Daily Details:Sat.09.09:
I noticed yesterday that the cravings I’d been having throughout the past year or so are pretty much gone. The dietitian chalked it up to the insufficient calories and lack of protein, so since remedying both of those, I can really notice a difference. I do keep a big bar of dark chocolate in the fridge if I’m wanting something sweet, but I’ve used it more to quickly add on some calories rather than because I was craving it.
Busy day today, I've decided I want to move some things around and reorganise the girls' living room and make a more permanent workout space in my office. I currently have everything stored in the girls' living room and have to take it out and put it away anytime I want to use it- which leads to me using it less.
Sun.10.09:
Busy day. Grocery shopping, food prepping, ect.
Mon.11.09:
Well, I expected this. Yesterday was an off day. My daughter and I went to the shops first thing in the morning to find we were about 45 minutes too early and nothing was open except a few cafes and a small asian grocer. She bought some Japanese candy, and I had two pieces, because they’re my favourite and actually aren’t too high in added sugar. Which would have been fine, except that’s what I started my day with and it was about 3 hours earlier than I normally open my eating window. Then my partner came home from his weekend trip and hadn’t eaten the sausages that he took, so those became lunch. Dinner took longer to cook than expected so I didn’t close my window until an hour later than usual. Overall, I was within my calorie target - just - at about 1580 calories. My macros were fairly close as well. But it was the quality of the food I ate yesterday (apart from dinner) that was lacking. The worst part is I didn’t even *enjoy* the poor choices. The sausages were an instant regret. I should have made myself something I would have enjoyed and would have been healthier anyway, but I was being lazy as I still had to go grocery shopping and get all my meal prep done, and get dinner started. Lesson learned. It’s a new day.
Tues.12.09:
TOM’s coming in a few days. Which explains a lot. I have my Australian Citizenship interview and test this afternoon, which I’m also a bit stressed about. It’s really not supposed to be that difficult but I’m bad enough with American government even though I grew up learning about it in school, so I’m hoping the test is mostly “common sense” answers. Hopefully I can avoid any hormonal or stress eating today.

@Cchassee I didn't know if I should send a hug or a laugh emoji! I remember eons ago when I could drink and eat whatever I cared to on the weekends whenever I cared to, gained weight and have it shed after 2 aerobics classes. Oh to have those days back, lol! If I do much as look at food after 8 I add a pound to the next days weight 🥴 But even though our bodies change, at least you still have maintained your sense of humor 😊7

@GettingFitOver50 I HEAR YA! 🤣
I’ll take a 🤣 emoji AND a 🤗hug! I don’t know why it’s taking so long for reality to set in… It’s been quite obvious for quite a few weeks but I guess I’m stubborn. I still want to lose 8 to 10 more pounds so I guess that’ll take 3-4 months… When as a little as two years ago, that would take 6-8 weeks at most! I’m really struggling with looking forward to WHAT ‘MAINTENANCE’ WILL LOOK LIKE because all this activity takes lots of time and commitment. But you know what? I’ll be really good at it by then, and so perhaps walking 3 miles in the morning / 3 miles in the evening and SWEATING 60+ minutes each day becomes ROUTINE all to STAY at a healthy weight and fit for an active lifestyle…. I know a healthy diet is a lifestyle - I just didn’t realize it comes with all this REQUIRED movement and sweat 😅! Lord oh Lord! 🤔
(But I’m realizing it now!) So it’s finally starting to sink in and I thank this group for helping me come to terms with THIS: the NOW REAL geriatric hell hole! Sending 🤗 hugs!
Let’s do this!!!!🙌🏻

I'm in for another ten days.
Jen; 46; 5'4"
About Me:This is my seventh 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.
Previous Rounds:
RND 229 - SW: 287.8; EW: 280.4 (-7.4)

GW (short term): 235
RGW: 245
9/9 - 247.2 - 3.69 miles - Took a walk from downtown along the river to a park by the marina and then back. It was a nice stroll even though it was a bit warm when we left. It was nice to get out of the neighborhood for once. I haven't been to the riverfront since before Covid so it was nice.
9/10 - 247.0 - 3.39 miles - Got my walk in a little late but manged to get home before it started getting really hot. I also hit most of the pokegyms in the neighborhood. I hadn't been playing much lately because I didn't feel like stopping at the gyms but I got 3 of the 4 (last one had a raid going on and that takes too long to deal with). Had a premade salad for lunch which was actually pretty filling considering it was lettuce, some turkey and ham and then I added onion and grape tomatoes. Then I had a burger and fries for dinner. I still have enough calories left to have some mango sorbet for dessert.
9/11 - 247.4 - 3.24 miles - Hmm... my weight seems to be stuck at 247. I knew this would happen eventually but I was hoping to be closer to 240 when the weightloss stalled out. I have been snacking a little bit more lately. I have Ritz Crisps, Veggie Straws and reduced fat Wheat Thins that I go back and forth with because I crave salty snacks like chips and these seem to help. But I've been having full servings which are around 130 calories. I'm going to go back to just having a half serving which is enough to get through my cravings. We'll see how that goes.

WHY?! This is why I deplore the scale. I was actually looking forward to it…and…now THIS… .huh….. WTH? Looked in the mirror… PUFFY everywhere.
Should be at 135ish. I don’t understand.
This is my 🎢 on full display. Total discouragement.
Yesterday stats: 208 exercise minutes, burned 838 exercise calories, consumed 1209 calories, Macros ✅, 13k steps. Tons of 💦.
Gosh, I am deflated. I have another tennis match this morning (and evening) and will complete 12.5k+ steps. Yesterday, I WAS feeling good, motivated, and accepting reality that my metabolism is that of an old geezer. (It’s easier to address a problem once you identify the problem). A major adjustment to the length of time and the HARD WORK AND SWEAT it will take. DAMN. And, water-retention?! WHY?!
My final thought is that I have to trust the process. I’ve been ON the process. So, just keep going.
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
🛑🎢!
———————————-
9/11 Yesterday: cleaned house and got organized. Down day. Dragging from long weekend. Decided to stay quiet and skip all activities listening to my body. I guess I just talked myself out of “doing”… Perhaps too much salt? Feeling burned out? No motivation yesterday…. 1100 cal. 6k steps. Drank tons of water and enjoyed watching the U.S. Open final. Went to bed early.
Big morning of tennis and steps planned for today. ( 👀— w/Increased activity goals, can I do it?!) I’m wondering if too ambitious? Shall see… Hiking trip in 5 weeks…. Will keep ⬆️ protein and drink TONS of 💦! … ⚖️tomorrow….
I’m beginning to realize /absorb/ accept that losing 1 pound every 10 days is pretty much equal to “maintenance”… I’m starting to realize that I have to maintain THIS MUCH CRAZY ACTIVITY while eating 1200 to 1400 cal a day to maintain?!?!!! This is a HUGE 💡realization. I’ve always known that as you get older your body needs less calories but this is a dramatic new finding for me to accept as reality. I looked at some old data and my actual BMR is between 1220 and 1250, not 1440 as I had first thought … this is a very scary thought… So the reason why I put on weight these last few months is not because I went on some wild gluttonous eating and drinking spree… It’s simply because my body has shifted into some type of geriatric hell hole… Can anyone identify? Can anyone prove me wrong?! Inquiring minds want to know!
In the meantime, I need to walk about 6 miles today to keep off a few eggs, a zero carb protein shake, and some cottage cheese. Welcome to my NEW world! 🤣
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
🛑🎢!
———————————-
9/10 ⚖️ 137.4 Just a short recap for yesterday … Even though the scale went up, I had quite a good day yesterday…. I DID NOT hit all of my increased activity goals yesterday because of the ALL Day football game … I had enough sodium for an army … I do expect to flush out today…. (I had a bag of roasted salted peanuts at the game…. ) Temptation all around me so I’d say I got an “A” yesterday! 11k steps, 1476 cal, 80 exercise minutes, 677 exercise calories burned. TONS of water. But unfortunately, too much salt! It’s good to know in my head that there’s no way I actually gained weight yesterday … just retaining fluids!
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
🛑🎢!
———————————-
9/9 Dinner out with good friends last night - pre planned splurge with one carb-free cocktail. Stayed 💯 through dinner then enjoyed dessert without guilt. Macros 🚫 but aware.
Today - headed to college game day festivities… Can’t imagine being tempted by anything today. 🤣 But I am prepared… Feeling good! (Will get a workout in this morning!) Lots of 💦 today!
🤔I would sincerely like to get to 128 for my 65th birthday… ( 10/17) But based upon my results thus far, I doubt I’ll get there … it’s simply been ultra slow. It’s just reality. Whatever it takes AND however long it takes. If it takes 2 to 4 weeks longer, I’m good. 🙌🏻 Will keep at it!
Good Luck Everyone! 🍀🍀🍀
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻

SW 134.0
GW 129.9
Goals:
IF 12-8 pm; try for 64 oz of water before 5 pm and make it by 8pm; Track steps and aim to increase activity level.
9/9 133.2 IF 12-8 pm. 64 oz of water is hard to do by 5 but I did it by 8pm. One hour of cycling felt good. I didn't have any sweets or added sugar. One glass of wine.
9/10 133.0 IF 12-8pm. One hour of gentle cycling in the morning. Afternoon hike. Water and activity goals met. Well balanced whole foods meals. TOM is coming so I'm hoping for a significant drop with it.
9/11 DNW this morning. Morning hike and strong show of will power all day until bed time when I got serious sugar cravings. Two muffins and then sleep. TOM woke me up today so I need to FORCE myself to be physically active today.
9/12 132.2 - made surprisingly healthy choices yesterday and went for an afternoon hike to help with cramps. This scale number feels well deserved. I will not, I repeat, will not choose addictive foods today. I think I have to cut out all added sugar if I'm going to do this. Any sugar sweetened treat makes my brain go haywire needing more. I've substituted my nightly dessert with Greek yogurt mixed with chia seeds and frozen blueberries and a drizzle of honey on top. It's sweet enough to satisfy without me needing another and another and another. It's also 20 grams of protein, 6 grams of fiber, and only 300 calories. Most importantly though, I can premix it and store it in the fridge in an old Talenti's jar and instead of finishing my jar of "Talenti's" at 1200+ calories, it's only 300 calories but my brain thinks I just polished off a pint of gelato. I might also be in the habit of a pint of ice cream as a suitable serving size, lol. My new way is a healthy and still satisfying pint of dessert. I really hope it sticks for me because I can see myself letting this be the new normal as far as nightly dessert goes. This is my new lowest real number and I'm not going to sabotage myself. Finish out the round here or lower.

Hello, I am 54, 5'9" and am making a switch from Weight Watchers to MFP. This is my 2nd round. During the first round my goal was the habit of tracking and being more mindful of what I was eating. This round I'm adding exercise. 🤞and finishing my postings 🥴
SW Round 234: 232.4
GW Round 234: 228.4

Round goals: track, move
Goodbye 230's!! 👋
9/9 - 228.6
Ending round 234 almost at goal with tracking only. Getting ready to head out for a walk, yard work and painting today. Family dinner tomorrow all planned out with as many healthy recipes as possible 🫶
9/10 - 226.6
Wow! I anticipated a little loss but this was a pleasant surprise 😁 Wogged (walk/jog) 2.3 miles last evening with my 16 yo DS who is a cross country runner. No pressure 😂
Family dinner is today and I have planned a healthy meal that's easy to track, except dessert 🫣 My plan is to do dishes while they have dessert and to send all dessert left over items away with the fam 🫶
It's going to be a challenge to get activity in with baking and a 2 hour orientation for a scholars program for the DS, but we will keep our fingers crossed!
9/11 - 227.5 Scale went up, as expected after family dinner. Healthy meals but the dishes plan didn't work and I indulged in dessert along with 2 unplanned beverages. I did get my one hour worth of activity in the yard as planned so that was good. Planning a short run for the day and back to work after 10 days off for bereavement and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I am prepared to either battle the want to stress eat or make sure I do eat. I have a tendency to swing to one extreme or another 🥴
9/12 - 227 Scale is heading in the right direction! If I can keep this pace I will meet and maybe pass my goal 🫣 I think I have found a decent breakfast that helps kick later day sugar gravings to the curb. I'm sure it is not the best choice available and not clean eating, but a Blueberry Cliff Bar has hit the spot and kept sugar cravings at bay so far this round. Yesterday ended well below calorie goal without feeling deprived so that's a win 🏆 And I was able to shave 30 seconds of my running pace 🥇We have decided to run the Thanksgiving morning 10k this year. Yes we are that kind of family 🤣 So, I have a goal to help me meet my other goal! Woohoo! Raining today and we are at home working now due to Covid in our office so I will need to get some creative movement going. Wish me luck!

@Cchassee I can't imagine how frustrating that is but no, from my understanding you shouldn't have to maintain an exhorbitant level of activity to maintain unless you are only doing cardio. Cardio is necessary for heart health and respiration so don't stop it, but strength training is the only way to up your metabolism that I'm aware of. Gaining muscle mass will up your metabolism and then it's easier to maintain without a calorie deficit. 80% strength training, 20% cardio might help and it certainly takes up less time.
@justanotherjen13 I'm the same with those snacks you mentioned. I switched to those thinking they were healthier but the reality is that they still are packed with additives that are designed to make the consumer want to eat more and buy more. I had to stop buying them and find another real food way of satisfying that craving. Homemade popcorn is a popular alternative. Edamame, wasabi peas, whatever you can make that satisfies without encouraging the pleasure addictive feeling of processed foods.

9/12 - 152.6 - Much better. Ended up taking a walk in the morning and after dinner as it was cooler than it had been. Still toasty, but cool enough to survive a short walk with both pups. I was chained to my desk nearly all day so it was very much needed. No walk this morning as it was raining (very much needed) but I did do my kettlebell workout. I'm planning another after-dinner walk tonight to make up for this morning. I did get in 90oz of water to help drop off some bloating which it seems did help quite a bit. I made unstuffed peppers skillet for lunch since it was the dinner I scheduled for Sunday that we ended up at Fam's for and I didn't want to waste the perishable ingredients. Despite BF having some for lunch with me yesterday, I have enough for at least today and tomorrow's lunch, if not also Thursday. Tonight I was requested to make my Crunchwrap supreme copycats so I'll do that and pre-log everything.

Previous Day's Comments9/09 - A sodium blip up because of dinner. We had our friends over who just had a baby 4 weeks ago for a meal train. Mama deserves to get out of the house in a place she can still be included despite needing to pay so much attention to a new baby and steaks are better served fresh and to their preferred doneness so they agreed to come to ours. As usual, BF used garlic salt and I'm guessing that's why I'm up. Oh well. Concert tonight and walking around the historical town beforehand and getting dinner so lots of activity. No weigh-in and likely no post tomorrow as we're staying overnight there and I won't have my computer. I'm not a fan of the app's community and I can't be on my phone while riding in a vehicle - I get carsick.
9/10 - DNP
9/11 - Not at all surprised. I was without water half the day yesterday and tried to chug it (got 60oz down) when we got over to Fam's (stopped there for football and dinner before home). Not enough to offset the lack of water the day before PLUS all the sweating. Very dehydrated. Also, TOM showed up bringing along plenty of bloat. We have a football game on Friday (I get to see my Alma Mater for the first time since being a student!) with an overnight stay meaning more eating out. I'm hoping to, once again, limit the alcohol to a reasonable amount and be mindful of food. There will be tailgating so I can only hope for somewhat decent options and water, though I feel like I might not get my wish. So goal today until midday Friday is to stay on track and behave to drop this weekend's bloat just in time to spike it again next weekend...The game has been a year in the making but I can't help but be frustrated that my weight is going to be stalled until next calendar year because everyone is already talking about which weekends we aren't doing an event and trying to fill said weekend. No, stop it! I don't have the money for that! Plus, I have weight to lose, not gain!
