My weight seems to have stalled the last few days. Hopefully, it will start moving again soon in the right direction.
9/13: 301 (-3.4 lbs)
Finally, over the plateau and I've passed my goal for this round. (by one lb)Just two more pounds and I'll be in the 200's. It would be so nice to finally be out of the 300's and I should be able to accomplish this by the end of this round. Hopefully, 😸

9/13 - 152.5 - The scale bounced around a ton - from 156.x to 148.x kind of bounce. It settled here and I weighed again. Less bouncing around but still settled here so I guess this is it. I was lazy yesterday with rain in the morning and busy busy work day, though I did do my strength workout as planned. Today should (key word there) be a little less hectic and allow me to "move about the cabin" a bit more. It rained this morning so I'm assuming BF heard that and stayed in bed. He still isn't up though he could've decided not to get up early today, too. No clue. It had stopped raining before it got light enough to go out but I had to forego my scheduled run as I had both dogs. Instead, I did 12 minutes of intervals on the rower as my cardio and took the dogs for a walk at our normal time. It's supposedly going to storm this afternoon around/after dinner so I decided it's best I take them now in case it does rain tonight. I don't mind rain so much when in workout clothes (except wet shoes but I have 2 identical pair so I can manage. I hate wet jeans/jean shorts though) but the dogs hate it and refuse to go outside unless their body's potty time forces them haha Dinner is supposed to be chicken quarters with a starch and veg side. Lunch is the last of my unstuffed pepper skillet. Yesterday I managed over 100oz of water so hoping to repeat that today, as well. All on track!

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!
9/12 - 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.

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.
9/13 - 131.0 woohoo! I did not expect that. I hope it sticks tomorrow. No outside activity yesterday but I did 40 minutes of strength training at home and healthy food choices. Water and routine with food make a big difference.

Happy Saturday!
9/10 - 186
Booker is leaving today, going back to his breeder. I’m very sad, but also relieved. I hadn’t realized until now how stressed I’ve been worrying that he’d hurt DH, who’s 88 but thinks he’s still much younger. All in play, of course, no aggression, but that doesn’t make getting knocked down any nicer. Anyway, I haven’t worried too much about what I’m 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 didn’t 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 I’m retaining water. Every time I have a sudden relief from stress, I get sick within a couple of days. So weird. “Ok, now you have time to get sick.” Umm, no I don’t! Anyway, feeling better today, but still pushing the juice and water.
9/13 - 186.6, 1115
Yesterday was good, with nice low calories and no late-night snacking. I still feel a bit waterlogged, but hopefully that will resolve soon. I’m going to visit a friend I haven’t seen in about 18 months this afternoon, no I’ll skip lunch because she will no doubt have goodies. I’ll try to restrain myself. Fortunately I’m making my bread-free salmon patties for dinner with steamed broccoli, so that will me high protein, low calories. I feel much more in control of myself, no doubt because I’m not worried about the pup hurting DH in his boisterousness. I’m also sleeping better and waking up earlier.

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

9/10 - 332.4 (-1.5)
9/11 - 333.1 (+0.7) - I had two large meals yesterday, so this really isn’t surprising. I did get my walks in though, which was nice. I also did some core work. I struggled with depression pretty heavily yesterday, so proud of what I did, even though it has led to a plus on the scale
9/12 - 333.3 (+0.2) - Overate a bit the day before, actually happy with this turn out, expecting more of a gain
9/13 - 330.2 (-3.1) - Whoosh! There went all the water weight I gained over the last two days, plus a little more down. Mostly rested on the 12th, but I do manage to push through the depression to get some housework done. I finally did some laundry! I also finally got the quarters for it yesterday. LOL Met with my dietician this morning. We decided my homework is to do some meal planning for the rest of the week, and I am to email it to her, today.

9/12 - AF💪🏻- 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.
9/13 - 126.6 - Can't seem to get through a whole day of tracking. I started yesterday and couldn't get it together to track dinner + the snacks after dinner. My husband made udon noodle soup for dinner which filled zero of our bellies, though it tasted delicious. We had so many snacks afterward I undoubtedly did some damage. Today is a 35-minute run. The half marathon is on Sunday! Eek! Can someone tell my 2 year old to let me sleep through the night on Saturday? Getting a full night's sleep sure would go a long way at this point.

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.
********LOOK AND SEE HOW THE UPS & DOWNS OF MY JOURNEY JUST HELPS ME BE A STRONGER & MORE DETERMINED ME********

The exercise is easy and goes quickly even though the same routine is usually tough. Yesterday was one of those days. I’m hoping for more of those for myself and for all of you too, my friends. Have a wonderfully strong day ya’ll.
09/13 -191.0- (Trend weight 193.1) The handymen are not coming today (maybe not tomorrow either) so I am taking the opportunity to get out of town for some much needed grocery shopping. It looks like a lovely early fall day out there and I also just need a break from this house. Kinda stuck here more often than usual during the renovations. I’ll have a late lunch while out. Wouldn’t it be nice if I could muster up some self-control?

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.
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 didn’t agree with me so I closed up my eating window early after that. Too far under in calories, and macros were off. It doesn’t undo my good choices prior to that, and didn’t carry on to other poor choices later in the day.
Thurs.14.09:
Yesterday was such a good day all around. Healthy food choices, though my macros were a bit off because I burnt the quinoa I was meant to have with dinner. I got my workout area in my office finished up and did a workout last night, as well as my stretching routine. In LOVE with my new bench, though I did buy a new set of resistance bands as I used the one it came with for rowing last night and it has hardly any resistance.

@itladyee I'm so sorry for you loss. Sending hugs x
@tiabirdie56 you're crushing this round!!
@deepwoodslady that trend weight just keeps getting smaller, good job!
@pezhed the only way I can track the whole day is if I log everything planned first thing in the morning. Then as needed I make adjustments to portion sizes/weights, or add or remove anything. It makes it a lot easier than trying to enter everything as I'm cooking dinner, or right before I eat (while the food gets cold). If I try and do it after I don't remember the weights or simply just don't want to! Hopefully you can find something that works for you!
@justanotherjen13 your daily miles are impressive! Hope your knee feels better today and lets you get out!
@bethellen19 amazing progress this round!
@musicsax enjoy your holiday! where are you off to?
@Cchassee it's always good when the temptations are finally gone!
@SModa61 you know what they say, what goes up must come down! Hopefully the next few days aren't as eventful as the beginning of your week.
@KarlysFreedom yay for the scale moving again!
@CamandJarvis I love how you don't let anything get in the way of getting stuff done! It's definitely motivational.
@potasha amazing progress!
@SheilaBoneham glad you're getting a restful sleep now. I'm always so sluggish the day after a poor night of sleep. and usually cranky too 😂
@LunasPaigeLily good luck with the homework. You just reminded me that I have a load of laundry witting in the washer. It probably needs to be rewashed now. ugh.8 -

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.

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).
9/13 - 245.6 - 3.15 miles - Knee was still sore and stiff this morning but I still managed three miles. I was pretty worn out when I got home. That doesn't happen too often anymore. I also have been getting woken up early every day by one of our new kittens (about 4 or 5 months old) that usually sleeps in my room. She seems to think 6am is the perfect time to wake up every morning and starts batting at my head. I can usually hold her off a bit but I've mostly been getting up by 6:30 for the last couple weeks because she's so insistent on attention. I think it's catching up to me because I've been so sleepy the last couple days, especially after I spend all my energy walking.

MFP 10 DAY CHALLENGE
My first round! I’m 61, 5’7”, and would like to lose 3 pounds in 10 days. Ultimate weight goal 155. I’m 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 I’ll 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# I’m 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. 😊
9/13 169.4# A little bummed about the scale number. Didn’t eat as well as I should have today. Will do better tomorrow!

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 won’t have scales so although I’m 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, 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.

9/14 - 151.8 - Been on my best behavior. The dogs and I enjoyed a second walk after dinner and BF even joined us! I thought I was over calories but turns out my app simply doubled my lunch and I only ate back 1/2 exercise calories. MFP cals are too low for me. Despite putting in losing the slowest (I think 1/2lb/week?) it will allow and putting in that I'm active 3-5 days/week, it still wants me to eat right at 1200 calories. That's simply NOT sustainable. So I allow calories back as I earn them with activity, using MFP as a guideline when pre-planning my day. I simply need to be better about eating slower so I can learn when I'm satisfied NOT FULL. The fullness will come when I give my body a little time to get the food down to my belly and belly to tell my brain! Today is kettlebell and walk. I'm about to go walk now as its just getting light enough and I'll do kettlebell after (maybe break it up into 2 sessions since I do 2 rounds of the circuits?)

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!
9/12 - 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.
9/13 - The scale bounced around a ton - from 156.x to 148.x kind of bounce. It settled here and I weighed again. Less bouncing around but still settled here so I guess this is it. I was lazy yesterday with rain in the morning and busy busy work day, though I did do my strength workout as planned. Today should (key word there) be a little less hectic and allow me to "move about the cabin" a bit more. It rained this morning so I'm assuming BF heard that and stayed in bed. He still isn't up though he could've decided not to get up early today, too. No clue. It had stopped raining before it got light enough to go out but I had to forego my scheduled run as I had both dogs. Instead, I did 12 minutes of intervals on the rower as my cardio and took the dogs for a walk at our normal time. It's supposedly going to storm this afternoon around/after dinner so I decided it's best I take them now in case it does rain tonight. I don't mind rain so much when in workout clothes (except wet shoes but I have 2 identical pair so I can manage. I hate wet jeans/jean shorts though) but the dogs hate it and refuse to go outside unless their body's potty time forces them haha Dinner is supposed to be chicken quarters with a starch and veg side. Lunch is the last of my unstuffed pepper skillet. Yesterday I managed over 100oz of water so hoping to repeat that today, as well. All on track!

My weight seems to have stalled the last few days. Hopefully, it will start moving again soon in the right direction.
9/13: 301 (-3.4 lbs)
Finally, over the plateau and I've passed my goal for this round. (by one lb)Just two more pounds and I'll be in the 200's. It would be so nice to finally be out of the 300's and I should be able to accomplish this by the end of this round. Hopefully, 😸
9/14: 301 Seems to be every time I lose weight, there will be a day or two that I stay at that weight. But, at least it's not a gain, which I'm happy about. I guess this is what happens when you weigh daily at least for me. I did really good on my eating yesterday, and stayed will below my daily calorie amount.

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 🥴

9/9 - 228.6 (woj 2.3 miles)
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 ⬇️ (did not meet activity goa)
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 ⬆️(jogged 1.5 miles)
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 ⬇️(didn't meet activity goal)
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!
9/13 226.7⬇️ (fast walk 2.5 miles)
9/14 227.6⬆️
Well well. Two things. 1) can't remember why I didn't log/post yesterday other than life. 2) What the heck with the scale???? Something feels very unfair lol! Last night I am dragging out my husband to walk to try to find a new route to bump my 2.5 miles to a 3 miler while staying somewhat in our neighborhood. We live inner city so I personally prefer to stay close. We were pumping it out! 🏃♀️💨 At one point he said if you go any faster we will be running 😆 I remember thinking man the scale is going to look good tomorrow 😁 I can't wait to see that 225!! And then this garbage?!? What the heck?? The injustice of it all!! So....rant over....I'm going to start to post my activity to see if there is some connection. The only other thing I see is through my Garmin, the amount of calories earned and given versus consumed. I may want to see if the amount of the deficit plays a part as well. In my mind a deficit is a deficit and you shouldn't be gaining for goodness sake. But at 54 who knows what is happening 🤦♀️🤷♀️ Sorry for the long rant! If you've stayed this long and there are any theories as to what I may want to try to do or things I should look for, send em my way!! 🤗

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.
9/13 - 131.0 woohoo! I did not expect that. I hope it sticks tomorrow. No outside activity yesterday but I did 40 minutes of strength training at home and healthy food choices. Water and routine with food make a big difference.
9/14 - 129.4 my mind is blown! Last night I was snacky but healthy choices and kept calories under 2000... at 1999, lol. That feels very lucky having logged everything after the snack attack ended. Very little movement. My body was tired. I'll treat yesterday as a rest day and get back to it this evening with a hike.

9/14 Good day yesterday, sort of. I did everything I was supposed to do except I had one vodka cocktail (with Lacroix & lime) last night and some breadsticks. Still under 1350 cal counting expended exercise calories. I probably gained 5lbs. Planning a long walk today and some strength training/weights. As I review my journal, it looks like I’m eating a little bit more every day… Still eating healthfully and in line to lose weight but I’m not sure what my body is doing. As I write this, I’m a little down, but not out. Headed for some prayer time and reading positive affirmations.
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻

9/13. Solid day yesterday. Had to eat exercise calories yesterday-total of 1926. Stayed on goal except for last pack of Belivita cookies…. 😏😈Thank God, our pantry is now void of all temptations!
Yesterday: on the court for 215 min, 12k steps, 1500 exercise calories…. Hamburger patty for pre-match protein and another breakfast after tennis match last night. Slept well. Hit macros (not counting the cookies😅.) I have a solid attitude going into my day… 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.

9/12 ⚖️ 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 don’t understand.
So I’m just gonna ignore it like it didn’t happen.
Yesterday stats: 208 exercise minutes, burned 838 exercise calories, consumed 1209 calories, Macros ✅, 13k steps. Tons of 💦.
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!). I’m not giving up …. Just a major adjustment to the length of time and the HARD WORK AND SWEAT it will take! And water-retention?! WHY?!
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! 💪🏻🙌🏻
