11/01 - 153.9 - I'm very happy to have managed to get back down into the 153.x range and so close to my last round end weight before leaving again. BF ate the last of my soup for lunch yesterday (he never eats leftovers so when he asked for it, I said absolutely...wow) so I'm not sure what I can throw together that's healthy. We're debating doing Wet Wednesday still - leaning towards it but not sold on it yet. Dinner is also dependent on if we go out or not. I'll be leaving super early tomorrow morning and returning late afternoon Sunday. I work Monday so I shouldn't have any issue posting again for the end of the round with the damage of travel. Then 2 weeks and 2 days to deal with this travel damage before we travel again for Thanksgiving.

Previous Day's Comments10/29 - DNP[/quote]
10/30 - Ouch. But expected considering I've been hovering in the upper 153.x range and the weekend was full of indulgence and dehydration (though not as bad as some weekends, there was a little bit of it). Very cold day, windchill below freezing - it was 80 yesterday morning. I'm bundled. Made soup for lunch and have a cozy dinner planned but behind on trying to log any kind of food so far. This weather has got me in a mood and I just want the cozy warm food and a nice solid layer of blubber to keep me warm haha!
10/31 - A little drop - I'll take it. I forgot to take my lactose pills, too, so this is a good sign. Today should be okay food-wise though I'm not getting movement in like normal. This weather is wreaking absolute havoc on my back and ankle. Trying to do any kind of workout will only make me more miserable so I'm taking it easy and allowing my body to simply exist in this moment. Especially with flying on Thursday/Sunday, sitting in bleachers Saturday, and a continuation of cold weather until I return. Best to let my body rest rather than set myself up for injury or more pain prior to vacation.

@SModa61 I understand your wanting to remove your dad’s clothing but I can tell you that my BIL passed in 2007 and when we visited in 2014, his closet still held his clothes. It’s a way of holding on to a loved one and eventually they will go. My husband saved my dad’s T-shirts (he passed in 1993) but DH wears them as sleeping shirts. Some are quite “lacy!” Sending prayers.5

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.
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

10/29 129.5 Pleased with this as I ate the leftover hamburger (and bun) and onion rings. Today is Great Greek day. Salad and steak. Planning to go to Planet Fitness again with DH.
10/30 130.0 Not surprised as I ate so many carbs the last couple of days. Had a Starbucks in the morning after the gym yesterday and then ate only my little side salad and two pieces of steak from my skewers. Lots of steak left over which I will eat today. I just realized that this round will take me up to two days before our granddaughter and her husband arrive. We have never met him and have no idea what they want to do or see or eat while they are in Las Vegas. I need to crack down on “doing me!”
10/31 128.5 LOL at talk to text yesterday - today I corrected eight to ate. Yesterday was a good day. Yesterday 4 oz of steak and 2 eggs. About 1T of peanuts in the afternoon. No dinner. I just wasn’t hungry. Today gym with DH. No TMI
11/1 129.0 Under aCals and macros yesterday and today had TMI after weigh in and 1 cup of coffee. Appt with hand specialist this afternoon. It’s amazing what you can’t do without your middle finger!4 -
@deepwoodslady Thank you. I will be thinking of y'all and may need to come back during the holidays to vent about my family. I survived last year but I just know that I'm going to get the ugly looks and comments from certain people. Ugh! It just doesn't make sense! This is an effect of weight loss no one warned me about and despite the ones who say they're happy for me I always come away with the hurtful comments loudest in my head. I guess you find out who's cheering you on to succeed while others... I'd like to think that the key to not being hurt is being prepared, but family...they have a way don't they.
@shmmm3 I've heard so many stories on here over the years of both family and friends who behave in this way when they see our weight loss. It's sad that those who should most be supporting us can be the ones causing all the hurt. Just remember, though, that no one (nor their words) can take away all the good you have done for yourself and your health and well-being. These types of people are insecure, jealous or both! You have dug in deep. You put in the work. You made the decisions. You put your plan into action. You accomplished so much through your dedication. Don't ever let anyone take that away from you. Remember the old school rhyme..... "Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me". You deserve to be applauded. If you need me you can find me anytime right over there, standing in your corner, clapping.7 -

10/29 -185.6- (Trend weight 185.5)
10/30 -183.0- (Trend weight 185.2)
10/31 -181.4- (Trend weight 184.9) I became pretty ill yesterday and I think it was from my exercise. I couldn’t eat much after that. For the last two days I have bumped my exercise bike up to 40-46 minutes instead of my normal 30. I do it in one sitting. Both days I’ve felt sick afterward and have ended up removing food from my pre-logging that I couldn’t eat. The one thing I learned from my cardiac rehab is to listen to my body. If it tells me something is wrong, then it is. Especially when exercising. So I am going to back down to 30 min or break longer amounts per day into 2 sets instead of one. I decided not to open the candy yesterday and make up the bags for the grandchildren. I was afraid it would be too tempting, so I will need to do that today. Even sick, I would eat chocolate. Even if it made me throw up later. I’m an addict. I checked my BMI this morning on a calculator that also takes age into consideration. I am at 30.3 which is still obese, but so very close to overweight. I need to be below 30. I’m excited to get there, hopefully soon!
11/01 -181.2- (Trend weight 184.5) I am really struggling to get enough protein in. Even when I “chicken” and “tuna” myself to death. I’m going to have to look into adding protein shakes. I just have to watch the sugar content in them due to the T2D as well as the triggers. I know that Premier Protein is a popular one. I’ll be doing my research. I didn’t eat NOT EVEN ONE little candy bar from the Halloween candy. Lord, stand with me in Strength today!

@deepwoodslady I won't forget you're in my corner I finally found a protein powder I like in Vega protein powders. It's plant-based some of their powders are fortified. My favorite is the cold-brewed coffee and when I run out of that next I'm trying the Berry superfoods. It's protein + fiber and vitamins. Here's the link to the amazon page: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Vega/page/3854CF79-595F-4833-AF33-049F83EC1089?ref_=ast_bln

Happy with that post Halloween. I did have some treats, but was moderate and mindful. I'm going out of town Thursday-Sunday and won't be able to weigh in a few of those days. I'm going to do my best while I'm away to not undo the progress I've made.6 -
R240 ** My 10th round….
F, 5’6”, 65 yrs young
Married & MawMaw proud!
Plan: for this round, I will ⚖️ 10/29 and 11/7. I will continue to record/ measure my daily food/activities, ST 🏋️♀️and NSVs.
SW RND 240 = 132.3lbs
10/29 ⚖️ 132.3
Yesterday 11.4k steps, macros ✅1402 cal, 135 ex min, 🔥574 ex cal, 🏋️♀️ 🚫
I’m now realizing the ⚖️ is simply not my endgame - my daily/weekly mindfulness, attitude, choices and healthy habits are the TRUE MEASURE of this journey….
90 days ago I determined that I wanted to weigh 128-130lbs as my UGW…. (Based on previous results and my high school weight!) But what if that is not optimum for me NOW? Wasn’t that just a guess?
My 2nd guess is that I need to “lose fat & gain muscle” … so I’m honestly just GUESSING at this point.
So…. I scheduled an “Inbody Scan” on 11/1 to get a realistic snapshot of my body…. (A more accurate reading of weight, body fat, muscle mass (& distribution) body fat %, water, etc. ). The scan will help me develop a weekly plan to reach the range that is best for my age/body/fitness goals and most importantly …. my closet!)
I’m so excited!
Let’s GO!!!🙌🏻💪🏻
_________________________
10/30 I only slept a few hours the night before last, so yesterday was mostly lost. I couldn’t pinpoint why I didn’t sleep since Saturday was a routine day. Yesterday I started off feeling tired but OK - then a random upset stomach hit me … so… “I called in sick”. (Primarily a couch day except I did scrub one bathroom & finished three loads of clothes) I simply had to stay close to home all day… I stayed within my calories, water, and macros. I was able to ST🏋️♀️ for 20 min. Felt yucky in the afternoon. I really didn’t know what to do with myself…. Today will be a new day I hope - I woke up my usual 2:30 but was able to sleep again. slow start but will keep going…. Grateful!
Let’s GO!!!🙌🏻💪🏻
_________________________
10/31 was very tempted to skip exercise yesterday … I got sidetracked, busy, piddling, etc. and then finally at noon I said, “you promised yourself you would do it- keep your promise! ***Wow… It was so hard but so glad I did it. My battle is in my mind.
✅1415 cal, macros, 77 ex minutes, 🔥337 ex cal. 🚫 6.8k steps.
***Looking over my journal, there’s been way too many days that it rained, was too hot, or for whatever reason/excuse I came up with, too MANY times I didn’t reach my step goal, exercise plans or ST… Thank goodness I’ve been solid with calories and macros.
I just can’t “play it by ear or by the way I feel or by the weather” each day anymore! There’s too much at stake and too many variables…. I must PLAN for me, and I’m willing. 💪🏻
This is my new “unpaid” career. My appointment book is ready. 💪🏻
Today: Tennis, WALK to salon for haircut, ST🏋️♀️. Get out my calendar and plan each day “taking care of me” 5 day intervals.
Let’s GO!!!🙌🏻💪🏻

11/1 InBody Scan (photo below)
I weighed in at 133.3 with clothes. Summary: Lose 3lbs of fat / gain 3lbs of muscle getting to ideal weight 130lbs. This will not be easy! I don’t know how long it will take, but I will go for it!
He actually told me I could stay at 133, but should strive to ⬆️muscle mass and ⬇️ fat… So…. More body composition changes… I’m personally going with a 130lb goal to have a fluctuation range. Heck, let’s see how the coming months progress and I’m thinking I have to be fluid regarding goals.
This is truly uncharted territory for me, because I have never, ever committed to 30 minutes of strength training even once a week, much less 3x a week!
For those that are interested under the “Muscle Fat Analysis” the goal is to have a “D curve” (connecting points…) Today, I have a “C curve” … Therefore, for the healthiest me: ⬆️ Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM) and ⬇️ Body Fat Mass. So my body composition clearly of whack.
Something I noticed (which is cool) is that since 2014, my SMM ⬆️and my body fat ⬇️! I just have a little further to go!
My real challenge is that strength training is NOT enjoyable in the least bit. Will need to figure out a way to do 30 minutes 3x per week.
Every article & testimony promotes the benefits of strength training… It increases metabolism. And for us “seniors” growing and maintaining muscle is a priority.
PS- ✅ Calories, steps, macros, activity. Today will be tough because this morning I had back spasms… But let’s see what happens later this afternoon.
I’m glad I got the Inbody Analysis, and if you have the opportunity, go for it!
Let’s GO!!!🙌🏻💪🏻

@SModa61 I hope you will give yourself some grace. You've been going through so very much. Just being able to show up right now, even with just a weight report makes you a hero in my eyes! Your tracking and other habits will return 100% with time.
@deepwoodslady You are so very kind. Fortunately, finally at 62 I am starting to remember the results of my past mistakes (I have perfected yo-yo-ing).
Yesterday, I had a first. My mother kicked me out of her assisted living apartment. She and I have been butting heads a lately over her medications, that she wants to mess with. One time she did something dangerous (4 tylenol), other times have just given her diarrhea (double magnesium oxide). Yesterday, I offered to go through some of my father's clothing WITH her (really what is there it go through as there is no one in the family that wears that size but I wanted her to feel included). She wants to keep and wear his men's XL clothing (she is about 118 lb dressed and hunched so her height is about 5'3" at best). I told her "no" and put the clothing back in his room, so she told me to leave. Yes, blame is on me here as I am not handling a demented (I hate that word) brain well but there is no reason to be holding onto all these clothing.
Unfortunately hoarding is a symptom of dementia, when we moved my Dad into a care home we found 23 jars of coffee hidden around the house, he always used to deny us a drink as he said he couldn't afford it!! He also failed to remember that he had saved very well for a rainy day!!
His sister, my aunt, I took 96 packets of paracetamol back to the chemist, almost everyday she would buy a pack. Looks like you may have to secretly & slowly remove you late Dad's clothing. Dementia is such a cruel illness 😞.3 -

Some are quite “lacy!” Sending prayers.
@quiltingjaine I do think I am moving too fast for my mom. There is just SO MUCH to deal that I am in "need to get it done" mode. Visited with my mom today, and we talked. We are in a good place and we will do things only when she is ready. Thanks for sharing.

@musicsax My mother's dementia has certainly made my father death more complicated. We'll get through it. I'll be up to my eyeballs for probably a year squaring things away, but I my mom is set up for exceptional care, and me and my sisters will make sure that happens. And yes, hoarding has been a huge issue for my parents. We have two houses to go through (that my parents stopped us from addressing), in addition to the little bit of personal clothing in their apartment. I will be approaching the clothing aspect with more consideration and caution going forward. So sorry about your dad. May I ask if he is doing well in the care home?

Goals for this round: log everything, '100 days' habits.
Grocery shopping and meal prepping today, not much else. Will get a walk in this arvo and stretching.
Mon.30.10:
Feeling extremely unmotivated to get any work done today. I think that’s the hardest part of working from home. If I don’t “feel” like doing my actual work, it’s easy to be distracted by the jobs that need to be done around the house. So I think I’m going to do some laundry and vacuum, and hopefully then I’ll be able to just sit down and focus on my work and get stuff done.
I’ve decided to do No (added) Sugar November, which I’m taking a step further and excluding all sugar substitutes as well. This shouldn’t be too hard, as the only things I ever really have with sugar substitutes are diet coke, energy drinks (both rarely), and my protein powder. My protein powder is an exception though, I’d have a tough time hitting my goals without it. Natural sugars in fruits and vegetables don’t count, but nothing with added sugar. No dark chocolate, no breads, no pre-made sauces, etc. I’ve been doing alright with staying under 5g of added sugars, so hopefully I can stick to it the whole month.
Tues.31.10:
Nice walk last night, we’ve had a couple of crazy giant orange moon rises the past two days which feels very fitting for this time of year. My daughter will be out with her boyfriend tonight for Halloween things, so I’ll be on my own for a walk. I might try and get a shorter one in this morning, so I don’t have to do too long of one later.
Our neighborhood is a lot of empty nesters, so halloween isn’t too popular here. Won’t be handing out candy as we’d inevitably have leftovers and that’s a great way to sabotage No Sugar November. Other than that, meals are planned and prepped for today, and I’ve got a long to-do list for work, so I should get to it! Have a great day everyone
Weds.01.11:
Ended up having a candy bar yesterday, as it was Halloween and I wanted something. Also, didn't want to start out a month of no sugar with a craving! Got exactly what I wanted, and made it fit in my day. Didn't have a single trick or treater, glad we didn't buy anything to hand out.
Finished off the day with a 7.2km walk, as I didn't go for one during the morning/day. A fair bit cooler today, and a bit overcast which is a nice break from the hot weather we've been having.
Checking in every day has made me realise how truly easy it is for me to gain or lose weight. I always thought losing weight came easily, but that it was slower to gain. I've tracked my deficit all through October (garmin base calories + measured active calories for my total, minus what I ate). And I've been at an average deficit of 700 calories daily. Which averages to about 1500 calories eaten daily. Not a crazy restrictive amount! But the weight is coming off. I know I'll hit an age soon enough where it doesn't, so I really want to get to where I'm healthy and able to maintain it before the joys of getting older set in.
Today's plan is work, dinner (greek chicken with tabbouleh, tzatziki, and pita so I'll be prepping throughout the day), a walk, and stretching.
Thurs.02.11:
Almost didn’t weigh this morning because no BM. But then I reminded myself that fluctuations are perfectly normal, and if I was up a little bit, it’s okay. Was surprised to see a loss. Big dinner last night, a short walk, and not much activity during the day as I was glued to my computer.
Today will be much the same as yesterday: work, dinner, walk, and stretch.
