    65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 239 (my 169th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, so grateful.
    Want to stay under 140 this round, hopefully lose a pound and get heart rate back under 50 beats a minute, then longer term goal to get back to 135 in time for Christmas (10 weeks !).
    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.
    End of round 69 134.2 lbs
    End of round 70 133.6

    10/19 140.4 – should have known it would bounce up again!! 7.01 miles walked, all calories plus 142 eaten back.
    10/20 139.8 – no structured walking yesterday as childminding little DGS, calories 270 over. Today is forecast torrential rain so little chance of a walk, need to pull back eating.
    10/21 139.8 – no structured walking again yesterday – rain all day & heavy at times, we are so lucky where we live that we have no floods, my heart goes out to those in other areas of the UK that are washed out of their homes, not being able to walk pales into insignificance, I count my blessings. 88 calories over.
    10/22 140.4 – it seems I’m not solidly under 140 yet! 9.7 miles walked yesterday, 86% exercise calories eaten back.

    @SModa61 - my deepest condolences to you and you family on this latest sad news. it's very intuitive of you to accept that your Dad is now at peace, sometimes when the time comes and its time loved ones know, but I am still sad for your loss. Thinking of you whilst you tell your Mom the very difficult sad news <3

    ——————————

    10/22⚖️ 🚫not gonna ⚖️today. Feel bloated and so I’ll put it off. 10/20 Was too good to be true so I’m just gonna enjoy that for a while longer. (Oh, no, is my emotional 🎢 reappearing?!?!!)

    I hit my targets yesterday, except steps and no ST. Only 6K. Ate 128g of protein so I accomplished that. My “no sleep” caught up with me around 2:30 -took a 2 hr nap. Went to DGS soccer tournament… beautiful eve. Today, tennis then walk.
    NSV- went to my “wish vault” and zipped up my old jeans! 5 lbs to go! Also, Figured out how to calculate trend wait by exporting my MFP data to an XL spreadsheet. I know MFP “sort of” calculates it for you when you complete your daily diary entry… But I wanted to see it ON PAPER in graph form. My XL spreadsheet says I’ll hit 128lbs 11/27. WHAT THEN?!

    Here’s the deal: I know that’s not the end game, and I have to keep preparing my mindset – this is my life. PERIOD. My “life-style”, yes… (For some reason I’m not crazy about that word, so I hope to come up with a new one). Also, make sure to recognize “triggers” and actively choose new habits to replace old ones… My “hitting goal” and future choices must support this journey. Feeling clean /healthy needs to be a BETTER feeling than literally anything else… It’s all in the mind….
    (Daily affirmations)
    One choice at a time….

    @Cchassee I loved your post today! Congrats on the jeans zipping up! When I read your comment on not liking or identifying with the word "Lifestyle" the words that popped up immediately in my head were "Life Choice". I'm sure there are better words if we put our thinking caps on, but I thought I would throw that out there since you liked my "wish vault" and the "Life Choce" was so instinctive. Have a wonderful Sunday!

    @SModa61 I am so sorry to hear that your father has passed. I am glad that you were able to spend time with him on his last full day with us. I truly believe there is peace and total healing on the other side and I hope you will find comfort in this. Many prayers to you as you share the news with your mother. {{{hugs}} to your family.

    @SModa61 I researched BARF several years ago. An acquaintance across town has several cats and makes her own raw food. I’ve tried giving Oskar small pieces of raw meat in the past. Chicken - won’t touch it, beef - ate it and vomited. I’m talking really small pieces - 1/8 t or less. I switched him to canned food for about a year but then he wouldn’t eat that. I will discuss options with the vet when we go back. Thank you for your input.

    10/21 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) I planned on making low carb keto friendly jalapeno poppers last night for dinner. When I went to get them out of the crisper drawer I saw they were rotting and I went into a Tizzy. Low on some of my go-to foods, I began eating random things instead (not advised). None of it seemed to be filling me up. I then started on non-approved things. I don’t know if I ever got completely full (before dozing off on the couch binge-watching) but I did get satisfied. This morning I can see the bloat, no TMI, a serious lack of quality sleep which has all left me with no desire to get out the scale and step on it. I thought about going out of town to do some shopping and restock, but I am not in the mood to be faced with so much food outside of my plan. Nor do I need a restaurant meal today after last night’s full-on binge. I think I’ll just burn leaves today even though they are wet from all the rain these past few days. I thought about going down to the school for Haunted Halls, but they will have tons of goodies and baked goods there that I won’t be able to resist today. I feel like I’m on a bender and I have to be very careful.

    10/22 -185.6- (Trend weight 186.2) The scale reading was worse than I hoped but better than I thought so I’ll take it as a scratch. I plan on traveling tomorrow for some shopping for my DD’s upcoming birthday and some much needed grocery supplies that fit within my plan. I expect some damage after tomorrow and may hold off the weighing again. The cravings have been horrible, mainly at night. I've got to plan better for them even though it feels like I'm already doing that. ANY tidbit of sugar seems to be a trigger for me. Learning and growing..... Today I will make it a good day. One day at a time in 10 day blocks, right?

    @Cchassee I got into a brief discussion with some quilters yesterday when I mentioned Keto. I said it isn’t a DIET you go on and off, it’s a WAY OF EATING that I try to adhere to daily. Probably the most interesting thing that I have discovered is my change in taste. Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies used to be my favorite but one of the hostesses had those at her house yesterday and I took a little package of two and when I got home, I ate them and was amazed that they really don’t taste that good.

    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.
