Round 248 ● My Journey ~ round 4 ● Karla, 67y, 5'4"
Starting wt. 231 lb. /Goal wt. 140 lb. *** Ending wt. round 3 ✴ 219 lb.- (Day 41) 01/17 ✴219.0 lb. ~ I definitely need to move more. There is still time tonight but...It's cold out and dark ... I guess it will be weights and stairs. I did meet the healthy eating (except sodium), calorie & water goals. So, I will call today successful.
- (Day 42) 01/18 ✴ 219 lb. ~ Happy to say, I got up and moved last night. I’m not too surprised about today’s weight after going way over on sodium yesterday. Today I met the healthy eating, calorie & water goals with a few calories left over. It was deskwork all day, dang those virtual meetings, so I am a slug.
- (Day 43) 01/19 ✴ 218 lb. ~ I am hoping to get over this little slump. I haven’t lost a lb. in a while. Doldrums tonight. I need to get outside and walk. Tomorrow will be better.

HW: 194.7 (88.3 kg) April 25, 2020
END WT RND 247: 177.4 (80.5 kg)
1/17- 176.8 (80.2 kg) My rheumatologist noticed I was a few pounds down from my last appointment six months ago.
1/18- 176.7 Comfort food tonight. Hamburger Helper Italian Basil Penne. High sodium, but within my calories.
1/19- 176.5 Coworkers suggested pizza from a local place for lunch. The restaurant doesn't have calories online, so I guesstimated with a mod pizza. That took most of my allotment, so good thing it was very filling. And delicious!

Hi, its Kelly- 8C out today.
5'11" My weight has been as high as 222 in the last 3 months. Participating because it keeps my mind on the goal. This round I would like to just end the round a little lower than I started.
SW RND 248
1/17 211.8
1/18 210.8
1/19 210.1 When I am heading off to make my coffee I like to try and guess what the scale is going to say. Today I was wrong. I felt "meh" and bloated and still lost. Other days I step on the scale confident that it is lower, and it rewards that sass with a gain lol
1/20 209.6 Insomnia. Bonus is that it is 5am so I guess it just makes me an early riser today.

Hi all, it’s my third round. I’m going slow but at least it’s going down. I’m 34 years old and 164 cm (5’ 4.5”). The highest weight I saw on scale was 105.9 kg. I started on December 30, 2023 with 104.7 kg. I aim to lose 30 kg probably in 2 years, realistically. I just try to eat more vegetables, decrease carbs, increase protein, calorie deficit and go to the gym 3 times a week. I’m not very strict (I hate strict diets) I sometimes eat pizza and drink beer however I still try to be in my calorie limit. I am ok with losing it slowly but eating everything. I hope I can be consistent and this can be my lifestyle.
OSW: 104.7 kg
UGW: 75 kg
RSW:103.6 kg
RGW: 102.8 kg
1/17 - 103.6 kg
1/18 - 103.6 kg

1/20 - 140 kg (I overate and drank, losing my motivation)

@deepwoodslady @Leigh_b - I agree on Zumba- and I love to dance! Maybe I would try it in the privacy of my home where I wouldn't endanger other participants, but in the gym I almost took out my neighbors.
@cchassee- you're photos are beautiful! I love being out in the snow!5 -

Goals for this round:
Tomorrow we leave for a long weekend at a New England B&B, with breakfasts that are amazing and dinners out every night. But we'll be snowshoeing every day so I should be able to maintain. These 5 days will be a great test on keeping to the plan while enjoying a vacation. Real life beta test
*maintain weight at 140.8 (or lose slightly when I get back)
*enjoy my vacation without obsessing, but weigh every day (travel scale!)

1/20- went to a favorite seafood restaurant last night where it was easy to choose well. I'm staying away from dangerous snacking,vacation munching and the usual restaurant pitfalls so even though I can't be totally accurate with counting it's easy to approximate. Our hike was wonderful- snowshoes this time and a long straight climb next to a large ravine with a bubbling brook. 45 minute climb, 45 minutes back.
1/19- very very cold in the Berkshires! The trail was an ice floe covered with about 2" of snow, so gripons instead of snowshoes. 3 miles, climb and back- very beautiful. Met our wood nymph along the way, she is always there to greet us. Dinner was blackened mahi tacos and a glass of wine; weight remained the same!
1/18
We leave this morning for a much-needed mini-vacation. Most years lately there's no snow, but we even have snow in NJ, so snowshoeing will be awesome! Deep freeze here- colder there! I hope the "high-calorie burn" climbing will offset the "high-calorie eating" breakfasts. I'll choose dinners wisely.
Goal: stay level, eat well and come back relaxed and steady. Wish me luck!8 -

Freeze 🥶🥶🥶has thrown me off. Was cold to the bone (it’s relative, right?!) 2nd day of LAZY. However, I did get in 20 minutes of 🙆♀️and a dumbbell here/there. Today was about my DGS. I don’t need to eat as much on days like today… I did nothing… It was not a “workout” day, so I need to be more mindful of portion control. I can certainly eat too much of a good thing!
Shall have a better physical day today. Will force myself: 🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼. No reason I can’t accomplish these activities inside, as I am set up to do it! Don’t make it tough. Let’s go! 🙌🏻

✅Paid attention to portion control
✅ Followed through on 🙆♀️ & 🏋️♀️.
✅ ⚖️ 130.6lbs - I opted to weigh because I haven’t been outside/walked, etc for last three days…& I feel like a slug. In my mind, I’m “off plan”, so I wanted to hold myself accountable and hop on the scale. Brief 🏋️♀️🙆♀️ is ✅ ? Will ⚖️ again tomorrow for more info…. (Confirmation: A bear loses weight while hibernating?) 😂Good to know. Solid information.
✅ 🏋️♀️ are scheduled in RED on my calendar!
Today: ☔️🌧️⛈️ but in the 60s… This weather is on the brink of destroying my attitude. 🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼perhaps I’ll venture to the gym at my club - my own little private treasure island. Gosh I miss tennis!
1/19 ⚖️ 132.0 Scale still has a psychological impact on me… 🎢?! Is this water? Muscle? Neither or both? It’s information, silly!

For some reason I just started 🏋️♀️🤸🏼🙆♀️ @home and it clicked! Felt great. 💪🏻 Did not leave the house to walk so another day without steps. 😞 Will bundle up & 🚶♀️today!

What a difference the weather makes! Sunny skies, 46° very windy & gorgeous. Perfect day for 4.2mi power walk. Conquered 🏋️♀️🤸🏼🙆♀️ early in the morning, so I felt great all day!
Today: Try same 🏋️♀️🤸🏼🙆♀️🚶♀️as yesterday but much colder today, ☀️w/ no wind. Doing well with portions. Will be a terrific day. Still missing tennis.
Reflections: Many want/need variety with meals - I don’t. I’m lucky. Quite comfortable with basically the same foods day-to-day. This was an evolution… has not always been true for me. Easy on my digestion. Makes daily decisions & grocery shopping effortless. Giving up sugar and processed foods the BEST decision of my life. Well on my way with food as fuel… No alcohol since NYE. Can count on one hand the number of times since July. Game-changer. No way I feel deprived. I actually feel free. Onward!

The yo-yo is exhausting & unhealthy. Takes up way too much brain space.
I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to maintain approx. 130lbs and IN SHAPE. Pretty clear that once I reached a goal weight I would then relax/ drift backwards. So glad 145lbs was the max over the last nine years.
I also noticed that as I age it becomes much, MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could lose 15lbs easy in 8 weeks up to 2020ish … This is absolutely not true anymore!
While active with 🚶♀️& 🎾 it’s clear a ST routine is absent. Time to incorporate ST 🏋️♀️ as my TRUE focus.

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 (father has since passed and I am DPOA, Personal representative AKA executor, trustee, and oversee the majority of my mother’s care). 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!

SW: 127.0
Day/Weight/Comment
1/17 – 128.2 Makes absolutely no sense BUT I tracked perfectly yesterday, and I actually solidly under ate. So, this is where I am trusting my tracking and not the scale and moving ahead with confidence.
1/18 – 127.4 So “yesterday” cleared up, just as I anticipated. Did I end up back at 127.2 where I started? No, but also last night I faced eating a meal that I could not plan for, and was one for which it was necessary that I not pull out the “I track my food”, a point which I normally am more than willing to share as I think tracking is awesome (remember I like data). DH and I were invited for dinner by the hard working, but divisive/temperamental, head of our condo association. He is French, so the meal was actually quite healthy, but I am sure somewhat more than my normal calories. Plus he served champagne, then wine (I rarely drink), and possibly the best steak I have ever had (note that I never order steaks in restaurants, so no restaurant steak to compare to). Anyhow, overall happy with the number. Was a nice evening, and no condo drama occurred, which was a concern (I’m sure it was a concern for him as well). Happy Thursday all!
1/19 – 127.8 truly surprised. numbers were good yesterday and when I got up this morning I felt great. I totally expected a nice “down”. Continuing with the trusting my tracking. As I mentioned, numbers were good and calories were not too high, not too low, and did include a nice walk yesterday, even though I have walked farther at other times. Tonight’s dinner is the same as 1/16. Let’s see if I get the crazy “up” again. Fun experiment!
1/20 – 126.8 Sooooo, the up on 1/17 was not due to dinner on 1/16, as I had the exact same dinner last night and dropped instead of gaining. The mysteries of weight loss/maintenance continues. Grateful for the drop. I am getting back closer to the range in which I would like to remain.
The “boys” (AKA Harry and Han Solo, cats) are doing well…. Finally. Han is dropping a little (11 lb 12.5 oz), and Harry (10 lb 13 oz) who had been vomiting and dropping weight, is gaining nicely. My preference for both would be between 11 and 11.25 lb. I doubt Han will ever see that but I will settle for striving to keep him under 12 lb. Meanwhile, Harry might actually get to these numbers.

01/18 -183.4- (Trend weight 182.1)
01/19 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) Today is no-weigh Friday. Such cold freezing temps this morning to have to get DGS to the bus stop. It is just to the end of the block but we will drive. Taking my Fosamax with water while I get him ready since I have an hour for the process of that medication. Back to bed and then I will post later. Today he has ½ day because it’s the end of the marking period so I will meet the bus at about 12;10. The snack monster continues to chase me, but meals have been clean. I tried Zumba yesterday and stopped after about 15 minutes. I felt like an uncoordinated bumbling fool. And it’s not for the faint of heart either! Wow it’s different as you age and when you are out of shape! This seems much easier than the Richard Simmons I did years ago in the 80's. But that was 40 years ago so I guess I get it. I will try several different Zumba videos though and fit in into my rotation for a bit and see if my body can come around. I am looking to shake it up a bit.
01/20 -183.6- (Trend weight 182.3) Very early weigh-in for me. I travel today about 4 hours round trip. I’m taking my DGS to see the movie Migration. I’ll do some grocery shopping while in the bigger city too since they have the big box stores. It will be very cold though as it is -2 F today. I expect a bump up on the scale tomorrow but nothing I can’t live down and overcome. Lots of sitting and a late lunch will be at a restaurant.

@Leigh_b I have the same issue - or did when I went to the only Zumba class I attended. I always went the wrong way! I have a DVD of Zumba. I should try it as the only thing I can run into is furniture or the cat (he bites and doesn’t like to share the floor.) I’m sure he knows I’m writing about him.

Nothing to report. 😊 I hope everyone in the frigid zone is warm and safe.

I did reasonably well yesterday, although I ate more bread than intended. Day by day. Off to get a little exercise shoveling the driveway.
1/19 - 192.4
Phooey. No idea why and I’m not going to worry about it. Just keep on with calories control, more protein, less bread.
1/20 - 191.6
It’s 3F this morning, feels like -15F. Lovely. I’m off in a bit to a friend’s house to knit in company for a couple of hours. I’m sure there will be snacks, but I’ll try to just keep my hands busy. Have a lovely Saturday, friends!

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

SW RND 248 133.5
1/17 133.0 I’m pleased with this but expect it to go up in the next day or two. I wanted something with crunch and ate 5 saltines with butter. Back “on the wagon” but no idea what is the snack/supper they are serving at bingo tonight.
1/18 134.5 I was weak. Did great with sub sandwich - pulled all of the soft white bread out and used the crusts to make my sandwich, added onion, tomato and lettuce. I should have stopped there but ate 2 bakery cookies. I’m okay with this though. I should be able to get rid of that quickly.
1/19 134.0 Boing, boing, boing. I’m good with this. Keeping everything under control.
1/20 134.0 OMAD was later than I like (after 5) due to HOA workshop DH was conducting. Shedding may take longer than when we ate earlier. It is what it is. In 10 days I’ll be going on a 6 day quilt retreat. No meals provided. The ladies I’m going with try to eat low carb too and one husband will be playing “Uber Eats” for us.10 -
Corina, looking to eat healthier, sleep better, and move my body a little. Weight loss is a bonus.

1/17 170.6 ok, maybe my scales needs new batteries. Or maybe I'm dehydrated. Or both. Ate well yesterday. No exercise. Finally got out of the house for some fresh air and sunshine. Slept ok.
1/18. 170.6 ate well. No exercise but ran lots of errands, so at least some movement and some sunshine. Slept long and well. I looked back over some weight averaging, and I've been losing an average of 2 pounds a month for the last 5 months. I guess thats pretty good for this stage of the game.
1/19 172 i think yesterday's pasta lunch is showing. Didn't exercise but got out and shopped. Slept so well. Loving my bed these days.
1/20 171.6 so the pasta lunch may be gone, but yesterday's donut holes are showing instead. Ate 85% healthy yesterday. Barely moved, it was so cold. Cold again today. 🤧 not sure we're breaking records, but they're digging them out to compare. Slept 4 good hours. Is this a theme today? Seems lots of us had short nights.

I'm Julie, 35 years old, married, SAHM to two year old twins.
SW RND 248: 135.6 (end of last round).
1/17: 136.2. Did a 5 mile run, walked twice, and did good on calories. Right now, I'm just going to trust the process because I know I am doing everything 'right'.
1/18: 135.1. Calories were good, went for a walk but no run.
1/19: 133.8. calories were under, did a 5 mile run. It's nice to be rewarded for my efforts with a good number on the scale.
1/20: 137.1. Night out with friends and a few drinks. Oh well.
