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!

R249 Prior day comments
**************************

1/27 ⚖️ 131.4lbs
Yesterday:
✅ macros, cals, 🙆‍♀️,🚶‍♀️9.4k
NSVs:
1. Food no longer a “reward”.
2. Continue to see & feel small changes in my appearance.
3. Much more stamina, flexibility and energy.

Experimenting with new macros and kcals this round. Still want 129-130. It’s a psychological thing. Floating around 131–132 feels off -?like I’m on the brink or edge of gaining again… dunno. Maybe it’s just easier for me to “restrict” vs “do” during BAD weather? It’s clear I’m not as active in winter weather… so…. Adjust!

1/28 ⚖️131.6
Yesterday: ✅mac & kcals, 🙆‍♀️🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️💦 Great day. worked out in morn… and a perfect afternoon for 4.0 mi walk. Basic food day.
Today: Optimistic. Already got in my 30 min of ☕️ 🙆‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼!!! (Up super early 3:15.) Weather forecast looks wonderful today & thru the weekend - 🌞 🎾 & outdoors for me!

1/29 ⚖️131.3🙆‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼🚶‍♀️🎾💦🥩
Did it ALL! ✅ mac & kcals too😎
NSV: Had quite an emotional day that was “triggering” ice cream, ice cream, ice cream… Said OK-hold that thought…. let’s just eat the steak first and revisit that urge…
By the end of the steak, I didn’t crave the ice cream anymore. Was able to think through the “trigger”, and it just wasn’t worth it! THAT was a huge win!!! Boring yes, but a win! One ice cream wasn’t going to end my world, but it would’ve ended momentum, ketosis, put me back on square one for another week…. The victory tasted waaaayyyyy better than the ice cream!
Today: not sure yet but the weather is cooperating so I’ll be active.

1/30 ⚖️130.8 🙆‍♀️🚶‍♀️🎾💦🥩
✅macs & kcals
Wonderful to be outdoors! DGS spent night last two nights - what a treat! Positive day- taking advantage of gorgeous weather.
Today: 🙆‍♀️🎾🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️Another day outdoors. Food is planned.

Health Journey
****************

I have always been on a “diet” since high school. I have never been comfortable with my body - no matter my weight.

Pre- college: 125-130lbs
College- 160lbs one year… graduated @130lbs.
1990 (Age 32) - Avg. 135 lbs
2001 (Age 43) - Avg 145 lbs
2010 (Age 52) HW 172 lbs
2020 (Age 62) Avg 130-135lbs
7/2023 (Age 64) 145lbs
1/2024 (Age 65) 130lbs

UGW = 130-132lbs ?
⬆️SMM: 100lbs +
Initial BF% : 22%

Aug 14, 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take control of my health. I lost 30lbs by 1/1/2015. Weight remained @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Five years!

🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….

2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs. Always self-conscious.

8/1/ 2022 crept up to 142lbs.
Dropped to 128lbs again by 9/30 then held 130lbs till 1/1/23.

2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much! Ive always eaten somewhat healthy BUT portion control is/was a huge issue. Started tracking again 7/15/23. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are @ 130 determined to…. be in the
📣#bestshapeofmylife 📣

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.

As I age it becomes much, MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could lose 15lbs easy in 8 weeks up to 2022 ish … 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.

Cumulative Round Results
7/15/23 SW 145lbs
R231 - R 247, lost 14-15lbs
Avg loss 1lbs per Round
Now in Maintenance with focus on building muscle - not the scale.

Round 249
January 27 – February 5, 2024

62 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 two parents, 87(mother), 85(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!

Day/Weight/Comment

1/27 – 127.2 Why the drop finally today? Yesterday was fly home (possible flight fluid retention) and I ate an airport lunch of real onion rings and my first pressed cuban sandwich. It was delicious, but very salty (part of the purpose of onion rings

). Did my best to compensate with the rest of the day. I tracked everything using best estimates. This week home is going to be challenging. Today I face going out to eat while catching up with neglected friends. But I have checked out the menu and have my tentative plan of ordering the mussel appetizer as my entrée. I hope to save enough calories today that I can have some bread to sop up the sauce.

1/28 – 127.4 Handled my day well and made good choices. Did not track everything, and plan to sit down and recreate. But there is nothing I would really change, so that’s ok.

Today, I face celebrating three people’s birthday, my widowed 87 year old mother, son’s girlfriend, and grandson who is turning 4 this week. More food challenges to be!!

1/29 – 127.8 good enough. I did eat more than I should have last night. It has gone untracked as well AND I was chugging water overnight from the sodium. Onwards…..

1/30 – 127.2 While I did over eat yesterday with regards to total calories, those calories were skewed to the morning ( I started the day by eating 4 chocolate chip peanut butter cup cookies for almost 1000 calories). Today should, in theory, be straight forward, Still in Mass. My mom’s UTI is still raging in her mind. Yesterday, she was telling me to be sure to get the kids to the bomb shelter. Just a week ago (day before her 87th birthday) she was a totally different person. Though she is on antibiotics, her mind has gotten worse over the past few days. Today is a previously scheduled appointment with her psychologist. Fortuitously timed.

1/30: settling in to a pattern that is actually very doable. One day from end of January and I've logged for the whole month!

My biggest change was to stop evening snacking. I see just how much that was adding to my daily calories- I'd log my food and then stop after dinner, which was total self-delusion. I'm also looking for recipes to cook once a week which work for both my partner and me (he's super fit); we eat together on the weekend and then have leftovers for our different schedules. We're both eating more healthfully and it's been fun!

Hi, Kelly here. 56yrs- 5'11" Made it through last round and created the habit of daily weights. Doc will be pleased because it is recommended for my meds and I am terrible at it lol

SW RND 249
1/27 206.6
1/28 205.0 Seems to be setting me up for an epic bounce back. Snowy out today.
1/29 206.5 That seems more like it. I liked the number yesterday, but it wasn't something I felt was real. Maybe dehydrated? scale battery? I will get there lol
1/30 204.8 I must be fluidy. Please stick please stick. Chronic heart failure and medication play this game with my weight where all I can do is stick to the plan and trust the process. I seem to be dropping into the "set-point" territory where the losses slow down and I stall out. Knock wood it hasn't really happened yet, but I weighed between 200 and 210 for years and years. Last couple of years it has been more like between 215 and 225. As long as I don't undermine my own results because I am proud of the number, I should be okay. ( Note to self: Rewarding myself with food for a loss is unproductive)

I'm Julie, 35 years old, SAHM to two year old twins

RSW: 132.6

1/27: 132.5. Eating was good, went for a walk and a 3 mile run. We are going through a ROUGH sleeping phase with my boys. 3 night in a row that I got less than 5 hours of sleep. It's starting to get to me. I am determined to not let bad decisions creep in, but it's a lot harder when I am tired.
1/28: 134.4. I was feeling a bit dizzy yesterday so ate a little extra. It probably didn't have to include ice cream, but oh well. Went for a walk, no run
1/29: 134.1. I managed to stay within calories, but they included some McDonald's. Eating hasn't been great so far this round. Went for 2 walks and a 3 mile run.
1/30: 136.1. well this is going the wrong direction. I had a bit of extra salt yesterday and drank a little more water than usual, so I have no doubt it's water weight. No run, but did get a walk in. Food was under calories.

I can really relate to the winter blahs and blues. I’ve been using light therapy each morning while I journal. Exercise also helps.
My struggle is being inside so much.

@tiabirdie56 and @TerriRichardson112 I’m happy to see you “reporting in” again! As I read each morning, I think “I must inquire about (name)” but by the time I finish reading that thought has trickled out of my brain.

@tiabirdie56 hope you're feeling better Tish! {{{{{{air hugs}}}}}}

I know what you mean @desolate_angel !! These desks jobs are exhausting. In recovery mode myself right now.

Rewarding with food was my downfall last week @girlsaint 🙃 definitely a hard lesson learned, but we got this! Cheers to a fab feb.

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.

It's been a while since I've been here, but decided to focus on weight loss again and this has always been a helpful tool for me. Lost 30 pounds last spring. then gained a few of those back. Have kept up my daily walks, but need to concentrate on nutrition.

Happy Saturday! Mine will be crazy, running to a friend’s house several times to let two of her dogs out while she’s off at a dog show with #3 and her hubby is driving one of the little Shriner cars at the circus all day. In between I’m going to take my first stab at a full groom of Charlie by myself. I show groomed Aussies for decades, but Cocker Spaniel coiffures are a whole new world, what with clippers. Eek! I hope I don’t butcher him too much. Wish me luck!

1/28 - 192.4
Salt. My calories were on target, but we ordered enchiladas for dinner and they tasted salty to me. It’s fine, I’ll just drink lots of water today. It’s snowing to beat the band right now, so other than a dog walk, I’m planning a cozy day at home. Enjoy your Sunday, all!

1/29 - 193
Yikes! 😳 Has to be delayed residual from Saturday. It’s ok, I’ll get rid of it.

1/30 - 192
I was planning a walk this morning, but it’s sleeting and there’s a thin layer of ice on everything, so guess my exercise will be some light cleaning, another stab at dog grooming, and then knitting—I’m making DH a sweater he requested (which he’s never done before) and have just one sleeve and the neck band to do. Then back to the cardigan I’m knitting for myself. 😊🧶

01/28 -181.6- (Trend weight 183.3)

01/29 -181.6- (Trend weight 183.2) I’m hoping to land back in the 170’s this round. It’s a bit of a stretch right now but I think my arm may be…..a..l..m..o..s..t…..long enough to reach it. Apply yourself Donna! Get it and Keep it!

01/30 -181.2- (Trend weight 183.0) I’m planning on taking a friend out of town today if the roads are cleared up. We had snow last night. I’d like to hit another small town nearby (about 40 miles each way) for a particular restaurant. They also have a bakery in that town so maybe I could get her birthday cupcake or something. Last night was a tough night getting through without bingeing. My son has some creamsicles in his freezer and I had to hold myself back from going down there and getting two of them. One would not have satisfied me as the craving was so intense. The only thing that stopped me was that I like the creamy kind best. I started imagining that the store brand ones were probably like popsicles with the cream inside, not the creamy ones. I can live without popsicles and so I kept that popsicle image in my head until the craving passed. I also had this overwhelming feeling that it didn’t matter what I ate last night since I’m going out of town today anyway and likely blowing it. You know, that all-or-nothing attitude. Then I told myself (again) that just because I am losing the air in one tire tomorrow, doesn’t mean I have to let the air out of the other three. It worked. I’m so glad I made it through. Sometimes I don’t. The scale may be up a bit tomorrow due to the birthday celebration, but I made it through last night. One day at a time, or shall I say 10?
