    THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
    REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.
    • Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
    • A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
    • Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
    • The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
    • Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
    • The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
    • When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
    • Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
    Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

    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.

    Fri.15.09:
    Don’t think I’ll hit my goal weight for this round, but we’ll see. Yesterday was good. 40 minute workout and some shoulder mobility stretching. Ended the day a bit below calorie target so I [had] to have an extra dark chocolate. I’ve been going through them pretty quick the past few days actually, maybe my body preparing for TOM’s arrival. As I hadn’t been craving them until around Tuesday or Wednesday.
    Going dirtbike riding with my partner tomorrow, then he’s taking me out to dinner. It’s a cute local place that does semi-fine dining, but when I jumped on to have a peek at the menu, I realised they’re changing it as of today and they don’t have the new menu on the site yet. It’s definitely the type of place that cooks their steaks in a butter bath, so I think I’ll just play it safe and keep most of my day low carb and low fat, so I don’t have to worry about what I’m choosing for dinner - and can just pick whatever looks good! How do you guys all go about logging when you’re eating out at a place that doesn’t have nutrition info listed anywhere?
    Sat.16.09:
    Finally out of the 90’s! Woohoo! Busy weekend as usual. Hope everyone has a good one!

    Sun.17.09:
    Date night dinner last night. Tried to log what I ate but I have no idea how close it all is to accurate. Woke up with a pounding headache and TOM’s arrival this morning. And my daughter had pizza and mini chocolate bars in the fridge, so breakfast wasn’t too healthy. Back to planned and prepped tomorrow. The rest of the day should be fairly on plan as well. Don’t think I’ll hit my goal for this week though.

    Mon.18.09:
    Well, the weekends definitely seem to throw me off. I like the schedule of my weekdays and the consistency. Obviously this is something I need to work on.

    @tiabirdie56 The TV got me last night too. My 3 hours of sleep was because I stayed up to binge watch Unprisoned with Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo. It's streaming on HULU. Really good and I just kept watching one right after another. I'll watch more tonight......

    9/13 - 156.3 - I really don't know where this came from, unless it is a really delayed reaction to Saturday's Chinese food. All I can do is drink water and hope this is just a blip.
    9/14 - 155.6
    9/15 - 155.8 - I have been on point this week with my eating and moving. All I can do is keep trying.
    9/16 - 154.7 - I will be measuring and tracking every bit of food this weekend to keep me honest.
    9/17 - 154.7 - I need to drink more water today. I don't seem to drink as much when I'm home from work.
    9/18 - 155.2 - My stepdaughter had us over supper last night and although I stayed within maintenance calories, I definitely went over in sodium. Oh well, I'm still down from my starting weight.

    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!

    9/14 170.2# Ate much better today and drank my water. Scale will follow if I stay on track.

    9/15 169.8# Starting to trend back down - going out to eat tonight so I looked ahead at the menu so I will choose a meal that won’t set me back on my weight-loss goal.

    9/16 168.8# Very pleased that last night didn’t cause a weight gain.

    9/17 169.4# Back on track - I know weekends are the hardest for me - they usually involve hanging out with family and friends, snacking and drinking alcoholic drinks. Prepped some veggies and made sure I had some no-calorie drinks that I enjoy.

    9/18 168.2# Getting close to the goal for this challenge - trying to match my behaviors with my intentions today.

    9/18 - 155.1 - Yep, saw that coming. I hope most of this is dehydration-related water retention and not actual gain, though I don't have too much hope about not having gained any real weight. CPR class tonight so I probably won't be able to cook/eat dinner as planned tonight and will have to eat out again. Still not 100% sure we're going since they told us 6-8 but now saying 6-10, maybe later (plus an hour drive home after) and we both have to wake up early for work tomorrow. Off to run with Smoke while BF takes Harley.

    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!
    9/14 - 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?)
    9/15 - I have a feeling this round will be a draw or increase in weight, especially only having a couple days to try to overcome travel and football game weight. Ended up eating Asian last night and I woke up so thirsty. I ended up chugging water not long before I got up for the day so I decided to forego weighing. Its likely to be a false weight from the water drinking and I know I'm up due to sodium and maybe slight dehydration. I wasn't very good about water yesterday. Today we're having lunch out and then the football game. Will focus on plenty of water to help offset yesterday and hopefully keep today from completely destroying progress. No post tomorrow as we'll be coming home.

    F - 5’6” Turning 65 in 5+ weeks!
    My 5th Round!

    235RG: 134.2 - To try and understand my body better than previous rounds. I will increase my activity and “consider” increasing calories. Maintain focus & determination. Still headed to 128!

    Daily Goals: IF, 💦, Calories (1275-1400) Macros (5-65-30), ⬆️12k steps, ⬆️Burn 750+ activity calories, ⬆️ 60+ Activity minutes. Journal.
    Weekly: 🪜12–3–30 4x and face the ⚖️ 3x ! NEVER let the ⚖️ impact my mood or determination! 🛑🎢

    ⚖️RG: -2 to 134.2 💪🏻Still hoping for some sort of whoosh…

    9/18 ⚖️ 137.0 ugh

    Good 🍀everyone!
    ——————————

    9/18 ⚖️137. Why do I even weigh? Yesterday I increased from 15lb to 20lb KB. BIG difference. Feeling it this morn! Checked off 💦, 60+ activity minutes, 1225 calories, ✅macros. Did not reach 12k steps -only 9k. 12k Is a lofty goal that I have to focus on moving forward.
    Today: 5 mi walk & Tennis tonight. ⚖️ again tomorrow. See y’all R236.

    9/17 I just realized all my days were off in my journal by one calendar date… But all the actions are accurate. I weighed yesterday morning instead of the 15th so I’m “off” for a bit but I just corrected it. I’ll weigh tomorrow… I learned a lot about myself this round even though the scale did not reflect my commitment to the process. I know I was loyal.

    I follow professional tennis, like many people follow their favorite football team or sports league - I guess you could say I’m a sports enthusiast. Many times a pro tennis-player will experience a slump, even though they continue the hard work. They always say “trust the process” and the results will come. That’s where I am.

    I’ll see you all on R236 after my final weigh-in tomorrow 9/18. I’ll spend some time reflecting and will set new realistic, perhaps achievable goals for R236. Or maybe I’ll just continue to be bold and hopeful!

    Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻

    ———————————

    9/16 ⚖️ 137.0 I guess my big whoosh was at the end of R234… weighing 136.2! I missed it! I missed the celebration! Now I’m just hoping to be 136.2 by 9/18. I don’t feel anything. No 🎢. No ups or downs just a listless FLATLINE! 😐 I won’t let it ruin my day. Spending most the day with my grandson being very active at the park so It will be a beautiful day!

    NSV: My clothes continue to fit better, I can see my collarbone, I still feel better… I keep looking like I’ve lost a tiny bit of more weight even though it’s not off the scale…

    Maybe this is what my world will be. I don’t like the feeling of feeling restricted 🚫 or being deprived. I guess my goal is to shift feeling like I’m restricting my intake to celebrating the actions of taking care of myself! Try to reach the point that the taste of delicious food is simply not that satisfying … that happy taste buds are meaningless… feeling HEALTHY is better than a short-term vice! I have to remember that clean feeling ….

    Let’s get my good feelings from the love of different foods from a different source. (But seriously… what could be better than margaritas and chips and salsa?)

    Maybe God is letting me experience “maintenance… before I get to maintenance” Maybe this is what TRUE maintenance feels like…. But I still have 8+ pounds to go!

    I’m just thinking that in writing 👆🏻 I still know deep down, I’m on the right track… My goal has always been to “trust the process” and that is what I’m going to do… I WILL keep moving forward making healthy choices. I’m actually very proud of the last 48 days even though the scale doesn’t show as much as I had hoped for or EXPECTED based on what I consider Herculean efforts! I’m going to think positive thoughts today, and be grateful because I am!

    Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻

    9/15 Yesterday I decided to take this not so seriously… Just continue tracking my calories /macros and go about my normal day. My activity was way down yesterday because I didn’t play tennis… and spent the afternoon helping a friend. I ate 1376 cal. I’ll be curious if I gain weight at that rate. I figure any possibility to reach my goal for R235 is futile…. Still tracking macros and water is on target.

    This morning, I’ve walked 5k steps so far and have 500 exercise calories burned so far. No food yet… Going to lunch with my husband and will be mindful of my choices. Burgers tonight with my grandson… No bun for me!

    Still hoping to continue toward 128 just not putting so much pressure on myself! 135. ⚖️tomorrow!

    Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻

    9/14 Good day yesterday 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.

    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! 🤣

    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!

    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! 🍀🍀🍀

    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.
    9/15 - 129.0 not too much snacking but I'm still working on getting rid of it. No hike but good strength training. Wish there was a low calorie peanut butter. I've been freezing banana slices with peanut butter as a dessert. I love everything about it except having to control myself because they're so good and I have to remember how calorie dense pb is.
    9/16 - 129.0 had an oddly easy day yesterday sticking to my meal prepped meals and snacks and even though I thought my strength training was light, my quads are tender! Funny how the slight change to side lunges instead of regular static lunges woke up those muscles in a very different way. Good reminder of why changing up the exercise is important. Happy Saturday, everyone!
    9/17 - 130.0 I made the big mistake of making myself feel deprived and ate way too much sugar after dinner. It didn't undo anything because my seven day average is still lower than maintenance calories and realistically it pushed my goal pants achievement back by one day, if that. But, looking at my seven day net calories graph I see that every third day I end up eating well above calories goal. If I can harness this into a planned third day of high calories then I won't go to sugar and I won't risk feeling deprived that leads me there. Here's to noticing our habits and working with them instead of against them to set myself up for success instead of failure. Hope everyone has a great Sunday and we set ourselves up for success.
    9/18 131.4 did not make healthy choices yesterday. New challenge starts today and I'm challenging myself to 10 days no alcohol or added sugar. I bought a big bag of apples so that if I'm craving sweets, I'll have an apple like in the olden days with Tom Sawyer.

    I'm Amanda, back again for another round. I'm 5'2", 38F in Virginia.

    SW Round 235: 125.8
    GW Round 235: 124.8

    Non-scale goals:
    💪🏻 work out 8/10 days
    ✏️ track food 6/10 days
    💧 drink 64oz of water 10/10 days
    AF alcohol-free 5/10 days

    9/9 - 💧 - DNW
    9/10 - 💧 💪🏻 - DNW
    9/11 - AF 💧 💪🏻 - DNW
    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 - AF 💧 💪🏻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.

    9/15 - AF 💧 💪🏻 126.0 - Ugh I have a way to go to reach my goal for the round. Going to have to not derail my progress over the weekend. The weather forecast for my half marathon is out - it's going to rain through the entire thing. Which means I'm telling my family to stay home and I'm going to get soaked. I was going to bike to the start line since they are having runners park in one spot and shuttle to the start, but I don't want to be drenched at the beginning of the race so I may subject myself to driving and shuttle after all. I have my final training run today! It's been easy to minimize my alcohol intake this week since I know I want to feel top notch on Sunday for the race. Why don't I always want to feel top notch? Long term pain for short term gain? And what am I really gaining in the short term? This week is really making me rethink my habits.

    9/16 - AF 💧 125.8 I think, I forgot very quickly this morning. Weekends always break my brain a little. Carb loading today and not too concerned about intake. We went to Noodles & Co for lunch because I read carb loading is better to do at lunch time than dinner time the day before a race.
    Dinner will be creamy shrimp over the many acorn squashes we have from our CSA. Trying to drink a lot of water too. Hope everyone’s weekend is going well. Hard for me to read much with the kiddos around.

    9/17 - 💧 💪🏻127.4 Expected gain from all the carbs yesterday. Definitely went over calories too but oh well. The half marathon was this morning and I PRed! I am not a fast runner by any definition but I’m glad I finished it.

    9/18 - 127.4. Again, not surprised, but kinda bummed to show a 1.6 lb gain from the start of the round. Onward! My body is so broken from yesterday; I did not show discipline managing my speed. My hips and knees are aching. I was determined to break my PR from 10 years ago when I was 28 years old. Unwise. Today I am just going to do some good leg-intensive yoga and hope I can feel whole tomorrow. See everyone in the next round!

    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

    SW Round 235 128.0 AW 129.0
    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”
    9/10 128.0 Great Greek today
    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 I don’t know why my phone has been cutting off the last word when I copy and paste. Irritating!
    9/15 128.0 Tonight we’re going to a comedy show at one of the casinos.
    9/16 129.5 No TMI Chinese for OMAD yesterday, ate about 1/2c of steamed rice and “half” of my Kung Pao chicken (supposed to be a good choice) but probably not enough water.
    9/17 130.0 No TMI Ate steak and 1/2 of a baked acorn squash and finished my Chinese
    9/18 130.0 Finally TMI after weighing and drinking coffee. Yesterday Great Greek - side salad and 1/2 steak skewer

    Finally! Yesterday was a good day. I went for a 3 mile walk on the river greenway in the morning and another 25 minute walk in the evening. I ate responsibly. I did a little garden cleanup. I took a nap. And I finished a sweater I’ve been knitting—yay! Here ‘tis. Enjoy your Sunday!

    @SheilaBoneham The sweater is INCREDIBLE. Is there anything you Can't do? LOL. I hope whoever wears this will do so with the pride it deserves!

    Round 235

    145320379.png

    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= 190.4


    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.

    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.

    SW Round 235: 125.8
    GW Round 235: 124.8

    Non-scale goals:
    💪🏻 work out 8/10 days
    ✏️ track food 6/10 days
    💧 drink 64oz of water 10/10 days
    AF alcohol-free 5/10 days

    9/9 - 💧 - DNW
    9/10 - 💧 💪🏻 - DNW
    9/11 - AF 💧 💪🏻 - DNW
    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 - AF 💧 💪🏻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.

    9/15 - AF 💧 💪🏻 126.0 - Ugh I have a way to go to reach my goal for the round. Going to have to not derail my progress over the weekend. The weather forecast for my half marathon is out - it's going to rain through the entire thing. Which means I'm telling my family to stay home and I'm going to get soaked. I was going to bike to the start line since they are having runners park in one spot and shuttle to the start, but I don't want to be drenched at the beginning of the race so I may subject myself to driving and shuttle after all. I have my final training run today! It's been easy to minimize my alcohol intake this week since I know I want to feel top notch on Sunday for the race. Why don't I always want to feel top notch? Long term pain for short term gain? And what am I really gaining in the short term? This week is really making me rethink my habits.

    9/16 - AF 💧 125.8 I think, I forgot very quickly this morning. Weekends always break my brain a little. Carb loading today and not too concerned about intake. We went to Noodles & Co for lunch because I read carb loading is better to do at lunch time than dinner time the day before a race.
    Dinner will be creamy shrimp over the many acorn squashes we have from our CSA. Trying to drink a lot of water too. Hope everyone’s weekend is going well. Hard for me to read much with the kiddos around.

    9/17 - 127.4 Expected gain from all the carbs yesterday. Definitely went over calories too but oh well. The half marathon was this morning and I PRed! I am not a fast runner by any definition but I’m glad I finished it. Here I am with my sweet boys after the finish 🙂
