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 Comments

9/09 - 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 🥴

SW Round 234: 232.4
GW Round 234: 228.4
SW Round 235: 228.6

Round goals: track, move

Goodbye 230's!! 👋

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!! 🤗

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.
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.

Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻

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! 💪🏻🙌🏻

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.

9/14 - 126.8 - Went to a first birthday party where the beer was plentiful and only had 1. I know, sounds weird to have beer at a first birthday party to some, but the attendees were primarily adults. They had Chipotle catering which was sooo good. I had one small tortilla but kept it pretty light overall. I did have cake, no regrets about that! Still can't seem to get myself to track. Today is strength training plus a dog walk between work stuff and getting dinner together. I'm going to get some seafood from the fish truck that comes to town on Thursdays.

61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).

SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126

Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.

History:

Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a DGS, and second GS on the way. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment

9/9 – 126.2 so off to a wild start for the round. Yesterday was a wild ride. Was at my parents’ assisted living (20+ minutes away) when DH calls and said that a crazy storm came through at our townhouse – 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 ¼ 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 – 126.8 Having no power in my home since 3 pm friday, is adding to making poor dining choices. Drove to my parents’ hoarded, but unoccupied house, early this am to get a shower and blow dry my hair.

9/11 – 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 – 127.8 not the right way!!!!

9/13 – 127.0

9/14 – 127.2 I think this number is becoming real. Could be ok, but would rather about 2 lb lower

@justanotherjen13 Oskar thought 4am would be a great time to start the day. I didn’t agree. This earned him his own private sleeping suite.

@potasha Keep up the trend! Terrific!

@GettingFitOver50 If you read through my posts, you will understand that you are NOT alone… I don’t have any suggestions except to keep moving forward!

@Cchassee I actually just went back through them lol! I think I'm at that mindset that with so much weight to release, my body would embrace any positive change and cooperate 🥴 I think I need to gain an understanding of the "deficit" math in relation to when you see the loss. When I complete the diary in MFP it gives the "You would weigh *** in 5 weeks if every day was like this ". On those days, that I like, I am earning about 1500 calories in activity and leaving about 1,000 on the table. Maybe that's my sweet spot? I don't know. I'm so used to those damned WW points and blue dots that I can't think for myself lol!

quiltingjaine · September 2023

@gettingfitover50 Increased exercise can result in water retention for muscle recovery. Drink extra water and wait a day or 2.

I got totally fed up with WW several years ago when they changed the plan AGAIN! I am capable of reading research articles and to “hear” WW say that they’re working with the current science and have been working on the then new plan for 10 years . . . Well, that was the end of WW for me. After I reached my goal doing LCHF, I continued going to meetings just to see my friends. Haven’t done that since they closed the meeting place and moved even farther away.

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.

9/14 - 186.6, 1586
I still feel like I’m retaining water and can’t imagine why. Weird. Anyway, we have another gorgeous fall day here, so I’m off for a walk on the river greenway. I haven’t been there in a while.

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

9/9 128.0 Awake several times during the night, up at 4:30. Enjoyed going to the movie after lunch (avoided popcorn) and we thoroughly enjoyed the movie - “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3”

9/11 128.5 Had 1/2 pita and a big glass of wine in the evening
9/12 129.5 I am adding waaaaay too much cream to too many cups of coffee!
9/13 130.0 I finished the bottle of wine.
**After drinking the pot of coffee and a TMI I decided to weigh the cat which, of course, involved re-weighing myself. Oskar who has been doing increasingly LOWER calories has gained 0.5# and I am a pound lighter than 5 hours ago. 🤷‍♀️
9/14 128.5 Awake before 4:30! I don’t know why my phone has been cutting off the last word when I copy and paste. Irritating!
