My weight seems to have stalled the last few days. Hopefully, it will start moving again soon in the right direction.

Happy Saturday!
9/10 - 186
Booker is leaving today, going back to his breeder. Iβm very sad, but also relieved. I hadnβt realized until now how stressed Iβve been worrying that heβd hurt DH, whoβs 88 but thinks heβs still much younger. All in play, of course, no aggression, but that doesnβt make getting knocked down any nicer. Anyway, I havenβt worried too much about what Iβm eating the past couple of days but will start the new week on a new footing. I plan to take a very long nap after they leave, probably after ugly crying. Enjoy your Sunday, everyone.
9/11 - 186.2, 1562
I didnβt overindulge too much yesterday despite being sad. It will be odd to take my walks dogless, but off I go.
9/12 - 186.4
Yesterday I felt a UTI coming on, so I got some unsweetened cranberry juice and have been pushing that and water. But I know Iβm retaining water. Every time I have a sudden relief from stress, I get sick within a couple of days. So weird. βOk, now you have time to get sick.β Umm, no I donβt! Anyway, feeling better today, but still pushing the juice and water.

9/12-167-Had nuts and jerky while I was running around town on an empty stomach. Stopped at the grocery store and brought home dinner and a bag of chips, which must have made it go up. Off to Quilts of Honor today and am on my feet there all day. Hopefully I can get some exercise instead of a salty snack when I get home.4 -
I would like to join! A few days late but better late than never! I need this to make sure I am weighing in every day. I didnβt weigh in this morning but will be sure to the rest of the challenge.

@Cchassee When they started recommending COVID shots for the βelderlyβ I had to look up when elderly is. 65!!!! Iβm not yet elderly in my head nor in my βover 55β neighborhood. We have friends well into their 80s and a few in the 90s! I just need to get off my lazy butt and get to the gym.
And remember, lower calories and more exercise results do not show up the next day.5 -
Round 235
MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5β 5β TALL.
ROUND 192 FOR ME.
βTodayβ¦.I am choosing Meβ
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. Weβll 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 180βs. I donβt care if itβs on the brim. Iβve got to start getting further away from the 200βs 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.

09/10 -194.2- (Trend weight 193.7)
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.
09/12 -191.2- (Trend weight xxxxx193.4) I love it when you can have a day where you are strong. There is no hunger. The meals work out perfectly. The exercise is easy and goes quickly even though the same routine is usually tough. Yesterday was one of those days. Iβm hoping for more of those for myself and for all of you too, my friends. Have a wonderfully strong day yaβll.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
People say keto/LCHF isnβt sustainable. Iβve been doing it for over 6 years with amazing results!

@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.@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.

@potasha Super sound advice and I thank you! Iβve been lax on strength training/lifting weights although I do about 7-10 minutes every day - I should up that! My workouts are primarily tennis- start /stop more like HIIT /agility training than anything elseβ¦ Long walks are done at a leisurely paceβ¦ Unless theyβre substituting for my off tennis days and itβs usually a brisk walk @ 4mphβ¦ But truly, I need to add strength training because it is the only activity that will increase my metabolismβ¦ Iβm definitely going to add that and thanks again!6 -

9/12 - 127.4 ugggh, starting fresh after the weekend. I went way off track and am clawing my way back. I had a decent day yesterday and plan to continue today. I took the dogs for my easy "run" (really a walk/jog) and did a core workout. Hoping to also do some upper body strength training. My littlest is starting swim lessons today. He has them Tuesday and Thursday from 5 to 5:30. It's going to make our weeknights busy since we are usually early dinner-eaters, so I'm going to have to get creative about feeding the family. Thankfully DH will take care of it this evening while I take him to his first lesson.

Daily Details:Sat.09.09:
I noticed yesterday that the cravings Iβd 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 Iβm wanting something sweet, but Iβve 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 theyβre my favourite and actually arenβt too high in added sugar. Which would have been fine, except thatβs 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 hadnβt eaten the sausages that he took, so those became lunch. Dinner took longer to cook than expected so I didnβt 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 didnβt 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. Itβs a new day.
Tues.12.09:
TOMβs coming in a few days. Which explains a lot. I have my Australian Citizenship interview and test this afternoon, which Iβm also a bit stressed about. Itβs really not supposed to be that difficult but Iβm bad enough with American government even though I grew up learning about it in school, so Iβm hoping the test is mostly βcommon senseβ answers. Hopefully I can avoid any hormonal or stress eating today.
Weds.13.09:
Good breakfast and lunch yesterday. Then I ended up getting a coffee frappe after my interview. Not sure if it was the sugar or milk, but it didnβt agree with me so I closed up my eating window early after that. Too far under in calories, and macros were off. It doesnβt undo my good choices prior to that, and didnβt carry on to other poor choices later in the day.

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)
RND 230 - SW: 280.4; EW: 276.0 (-4.4)

* track food every day
* walk for at least one hour and/or 3 miles every day

SW: 248.2
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.
9/12 - 246.4 - 4.25 miles - Walked to the store again today. I had prescriptions to pick up so thought why not while the weather is still nice. My knee started aching about halfway through. Not sure why. It's barely bothered me since I lost all this weight but today it decided 4+ miles was too much. Hopefully it feels better in the morning so I don't have to cut my walk short tomorrow (I'll just be doing my regular three miles).

MFP 10 DAY CHALLENGE
My first round! Iβm 61, 5β7β, and would like to lose 3 pounds in 10 days. Ultimate weight goal 155. Iβm excited to start this challenge, hoping to stay motivated to track my food.
9/9 170# Glad to be starting on a Saturday as I have more control of the day. Reading other posts I think Iβll aim for 64 oz water, also.
9/10 169.6# Pretty good day - did not get all my water in. Will use a water bottle tomorrow.
9/11 169.4# Had stomach bug or food poisoning today. Miserable, spent most of the day in bed. MFP food tracker unhappy with my daily calorie intake - gave me a warning!
9/12 168.8# Iβm pleased my weight is going down, but I thought it would be more seeing that I barely took in 800 calories the day before. Very few steps, though, since I spent so much time sleeping! Feeling much better today, eating almost normally. π

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 235 (my 165th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, so grateful.
Goal this round is to get under and stay under 140. Holiday is now in 2 days! Most of holiday clothes do feel more comfortable as although not lost what I wanted, I have been doing toning exercises. Want to more or less maintain whilst away & I wonβt have scales so although Iβm on holiday try to stick with 1 treat and 1 adult beverage a day.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, itβs 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.

9/13. Solid day yesterday. Had to eat exercise calories yesterday-total of 1926. Stayed on goal except for last pack of Belivita cookiesβ¦. ππThank God, our pantry is now void of all temptations!
Yesterday: on the court for 215 min, 12k steps, 1500 exercise caloriesβ¦. Hamburger patty for pre-match protein and another breakfast after tennis match last night. Slept well. Hit macros (not counting the cookiesπ .) I have a solid attitude going into my dayβ¦ Food and activities planned.
NSV: Cannot think of any new ones this morning, except that I continue to feel better and somehow - am not too discouraged.
Letβs do this! πͺπ»ππ»

9/12 βοΈ 137.8
WHY?! This is why I hate the scale. I was actually looking forward to looking at with the scale how to say. But WTH?
I really should be at 135ish. I donβt understand.
So Iβm just gonna ignore it like it didnβt happen.
Yesterday stats: 208 exercise minutes, burned 838 exercise calories, consumed 1209 calories, Macros β , 13k steps. Tons of π¦.
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. (Itβs easier to address a problem once you identify the problem!). Iβm not giving up β¦. Just a major adjustment to the length of time and the HARD WORK AND SWEAT it will take! And water-retention?! WHY?!
Letβs do this! πͺπ»ππ»

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 βdoingββ¦ Perhaps too much salt? Feeling burned out? No motivation yesterdayβ¦. 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. ( πβ w/Increased activity goals, can I do it?!) Iβm wondering if too ambitious? Shall seeβ¦ Hiking trip in 5 weeksβ¦. Will keep β¬οΈ protein and drink TONS of π¦! β¦ βοΈtomorrowβ¦.
Iβm beginning to realize /absorb/ accept that losing 1 pound every 10 days is pretty much equal to βmaintenanceββ¦ Iβm 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 π‘realization. Iβve 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 β¦ this is a very scary thoughtβ¦ So the reason why I put on weight these last few months is not because I went on some wild gluttonous eating and drinking spreeβ¦ Itβs simply because my body has shifted into some type of geriatric hell holeβ¦ 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! π€£
Letβs do this! πͺπ»ππ»

9/10 βοΈ 137.4 Just a short recap for yesterday β¦ Even though the scale went up, I had quite a good day yesterdayβ¦. I DID NOT hit all of my increased activity goals yesterday because of the ALL Day football game β¦ I had enough sodium for an army β¦ I do expect to flush out todayβ¦. (I had a bag of roasted salted peanuts at the gameβ¦. ) Temptation all around me so Iβd say I got an βAβ yesterday! 11k steps, 1476 cal, 80 exercise minutes, 677 exercise calories burned. TONS of water. But unfortunately, too much salt! Itβs good to know in my head that thereβs no way I actually gained weight yesterday β¦ just retaining fluids!

9/9 Dinner out with good friends last night - pre planned splurge with one carb-free cocktail. Stayed π― through dinner then enjoyed dessert without guilt. Macros π« but aware.
Today - headed to college game day festivitiesβ¦ Canβt imagine being tempted by anything today. π€£ But I am preparedβ¦ Feeling good! (Will get a workout in this morning!) Lots of π¦ today!
π€I would sincerely like to get to 128 for my 65th birthdayβ¦ ( 10/17) But based upon my results thus far, I doubt Iβll get there β¦ itβs simply been ultra slow. Itβs just reality. Whatever it takes AND however long it takes. If it takes 2 to 4 weeks longer, Iβm good. ππ» Will keep at it!
Good Luck Everyone! πππ

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 βkidsβ, 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 βall in or notβ person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/9 β 126.2 so off to a wild start for the round. Yesterday was a wild ride. Was at my parentsβ assisted living (20+ minutes away) when DH calls and said that a crazy storm came through at our townhouse β high winds, objects hitting windows, and hail. It was actually time for me to leave, and I said I would carefully head home via back roads, which I assumed would be best. Well as I drove, I encountered closed road after closed road. After 2 ΒΌ hours of driving, I got near out home, but every road was blocked. I ended up parking my car at a church two miles from home and walked the rest of the way. I was way luckier than many, like those with crushed cars, or those in cars, but trapped BETWEEN two blockages with no way out. Of course, we have no power, so riding that out as well. Posting this from my phone, so not my usual style post. But feeling very fortunate as I know this will pass. For me, this is an inconvenience. I am lucky!!
9/10 β 126.8 Having no power in my home since 3 pm friday, is adding to making poor dining choices. Drove to my parentsβ hoarded, but unoccupied house, early this am to get a shower and blow dry my hair.
9/11 β 126.8 Got power back late in the day. I am happily shocked to see no further damage. Trip is two weeks from today. Two weeks to practice healthy habits again, and get them re-established. I had expected this whole round to have proper focus, then I got the Friday afternoon surprise. I certainly could have handled it better, but such is life. Pre-tracking my day today. Advance planning is key for me.
9/12 β 127.8 not the right way!!!!
