Back in the Game!
I was sick for the last ten days with a cold; listless and couldn't get off my dead duff to weigh in. Better now. Goals for this round: No salt! Learn the fructose contents of my food choices! Measure everything! Drink more water (which means drink less coffee)! That's a big order.
start-203, start this round 192, UGW 156 GW this round 190!

1/28 – 192

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.

1/31 ⚖️131.8 ✅🙆‍♀️🚶‍♀️🎾🥩
macros & kcals. Scale is up or down a pound like clock-work. Puff ball big-time this morning. Probably enjoyed outdoors a little too much. Played Tennis three hours and was feeling it last night. Thought I drank enough water yesterday, but I obviously didn’t … Woke up at 3am. Yuck.
Time for more 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼today. Will play a little 🎾 … May also go for a walk want to take advantage of the ☀️😎.

NSV. I sincerely cannot remember the last time I ate a packaged food (bread, chips, protein bar, cookie, pasta-maybe June?)— anything not whole food (except hard cheese). I also make ketchup & mayo from scratch. And, it’s Mardi-Gras (King Cake) season here in Louisiana. (Basically bread sugar, sugar & more sugar). Last year I think I had a piece EVERY day from Jan-March. Not this year- and I don’t miss it! Thank GOD!

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.

@onewomanswalk Thank you. I appreciate it. There are a couple good this that have come of this. We may no what to watch for in the future and can catch it faster, and MORE IMPORTANTLY I have something to reference the next time my mother says she does not need a test because she "doesn't get sick". She was resisting medical intervention last week, early on. Now I can say "see", that was important to do. As of yesterday, cognition is pretty much back to baseline of the 22nd. I was happy to see that!

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.

1/31 – 127.4 No reason. Actually was a little under yesterday. But digestive system is not up to par, so that may be coming into play.

1/27 233.2 / Happy to hold - had dinner and a concert with a friend last night, and a work lunch. Steps were low. Today is the Pelofondo - I pledged to do 150 KM on the bike! Let's GOOOOOO!!!
1/28 234.2 / 6 hours and 10 minutes of riding yesterday to complete the 150 KM. So proud of myself and my husband for doing it. Firehouse Subs just came to our city so we had that for supper after the event.
1/29 235.8 / Day off from work today for a doctor's appointment. Went to a movie yesterday followed by a huge dinner out with friends.
1/30 235.4 / Depressive funk kind of day. Wanted to eat my feelings at night but kept the damage to a minimum. Work is really tough sometimes.

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.
1/31: 133.3. Went for a walk, food was good. I was going to go to the gym, but when I got there, it was so packed the parking lot was full. I didn't feel like searching for a spot and then hoping a treadmill would be available, so I just went home. Probably not the best course of action, but it it what it is.

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.

~ Back on track-ish
~ My daughter is on a very strict diet to correct her EOE. No wheat, soy, milk, eggs are some of the big ones. It has been a very trying time in our house. Like ..what the hell do we eat!? The answer so far is: meat, potatoes, rice and vegetables. No butter, no ranch on the side. This is a very difficult concept for my teenager to grasp.
Mon 01/29🔴180.5;+1lbs
~ 4 more macadamia nut cookies and they’re gone and out of the house! (Until he makes more from the batch). My husband likes to put us down for cookie dough every time my nephews are sponsoring a school fundraiser.. not very helpful having those around the house...
~ Time to get back on track!

~ I was “good” all day yesterday until the late night munchies hit me. And I sorta kinda splurged and had chips and queso. At least I counted the tortilla chips out beforehand*small win for me*
~ Still struggling to log everything -will do better today. Fingers 🤞🤞
I used to be so methodical about this. Why is this so difficult now!?

~ Glad this challenge is still going on. The MFP COMMUNITY can be a bit of a challenge in and of itself, so when I fall off the wagon this challenge helps me to bridge that gap back here. So thank you!!

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. 😊🧶

1/31 - 192.6
Sigh. But I did snack a little last night, so not unexpected. I haven’t completely finished trimming Charlie, but I did pretty well with his furry little face. 😊

SW: 205.3 | EW: 000

JAN NSVs: Underwear is looser!

can workout 60 minutes now as easily as 20-30, have begun jogging up all stairs instead of walking, and progressed from 5lb to 8lb weights in my workouts. Emotionally am getting less reactionary as I stay accountable and committed to THE PLAN ~ and most importantly, learn how not to sweat the numbers.

FEBRUARY FOCUS: FIRM, FAST & FLEX (love my alliterations!) -- double down on weights and resistance, fast one 24-36hr day weekly, and increase breath, stretch and mobility work.

01/31 - 151.1 - The scale flashed 150.x a few times and it got me feeling quite excited to be this close again. Hopefully I can hold on to that. I ran today, 2.25 miles in 30 minutes before walking the dogs. Hoping to take them for a second walk this evening. Likely before dinner this time, due to the longer cook time and it likely being too dark once I finish cooking and eating. I'm having leftover creamy chicken and gnocchi (from Monday) for lunch and a single-serving spinach manicotti with a side of baked parmesan green beans for dinner. For breakfast I had avocado toast (on low-carb bread) for the first time ever. So good! I added some grape tomatoes which I sauteed in olive oil a bit and topped with an over easy egg. I added some raw baby spinach to one slice to see if I preferred one or the other. Both great! Spinach made it a tad messier to eat, but I enjoyed it tremendously anyway. Overall today, if I stick to my plan, I'll be under 100g net carbs on a "normal" eating day which I'm happy about. Strength workout planned for tomorrow and my final solo meals - assuming all goes well, BF will get home about 9pm.

01/29 - Happy to have dropped back off to the 151 range. Yesterday was a good low carb day though both BF and I were quite peckish all afternoon. We managed, though. He's leaving here in the next 15 or so minutes and will be gone until after dinner Thursday so I'm on my own. I have a solid low-waste menu for myself (including leftovers, which he doesn't eat) this week. The weather looks as though it will be good to resume my running starting tomorrow. Today was a Peloton ride due to an early meeting for work. My knee is a little sore, but not painful so I'm hoping I'll know by tomorrow if today's ride irritated it enough to avoid a run (especially now I'm home alone with no-one to rescue me) or if I feel good enough to take it easy and adjust (walk) if necessary to get through. Normal eating day but only dinner has a surplus of carbs in the form of potato gnocchi. Lunch is a low carb eggplant lasagna (with leftovers for a low carb day). I've never tried eggplant before so this will allow me to hit my yearly goal of "try one new thing" early.
01/30 - I'm delighted with this negligible change after a normal eating day yesterday. I kept it mindful, tracked, and was low carb other than dinner. I also took the dogs for a second walk after dinner which was delightful. My first time trying eggplant wasn't too bad either. It was a bit bitter in certain bites but I read that sometimes soaking them in salt will help with bitterness found in store-bought eggplants which I didn't do. For the most part, the remainder of the dish hid the eggplant so well I forgot I was even eating it! I will eat that again on Thursday for lunch. Chicken and gnocchi was for dinner (the carb meal) and the leftovers will be eaten Wednesday for lunch. I added in a bit more spinach to give it some extra nutrients, too. Today is air fried garlic parmesan chicken skewers for lunch but I forgot to buy the skewers themselves! I'll make chicken chunks instead in the same manner and have my planned side salad with it. Dinner is keto taco salad with the leftover ground venison from yesterday's lasagna. For breakfast I had zero-carb street taco tortillas to make 2 breakfast burritos with egg, bacon, spinach, and salsa. Delightful and only 5g net carbs, coffee with atkins shake as creamer included! Today I did attempt a run. I used the Peloton outdoor guided run and it took me through 3 different "workouts" as an introductory (endurance, progression, and intervals to give us a taste of what options there are available I guess). I'll have to dig a little deeper into classes if I choose to do an outdoor run again to be sure I don't choose a beginner class - it's mostly about introducing Peloton's methods (which is great!) but I just want a nice run with a little voice telling me I can do it every now and again haha Today is beautiful so windows open! I'm hoping to take the dogs for a second walk (took them after my run this morning) after dinner if I can get done cooking and eating before it gets too dark to head out for some extra fresh air.
