HW: 194.7 (88.3 kg) April 25, 2020
SW WT RND 247: 180.6 (81.9 kg)
END WT RND 247: 177.4 (80.5 kg)
END WT RND 248: 175.1 (79.4 kg)
1/27- 174.8 (79.3 kg) TOM started. If I follow my usual pattern, I'll have a bit of an upswing/plateau the next few days followed by a dip at the end. Also, I ate pollo a la crema for dinner, which usually causes the scale to go up the next day.
1/28- 173.9 Didn't get my expected upswing today. Scale trying to make a liar out of me.
1/29- 174.5 And there it is. Mondays and Fridays are our busy days at work. I have a very sedentary job, but man, work wiped me out.
1/30- 174.3
1/31- 173.6 (78.7 kg) Ended the month strong, hoping to continue a pound and a bit per week. Once I reach 170, I'll recalculate my calories.
2/1- 173.3 Good start to the month. I really like that these 10 day challenges overlap the months. I feel like it helps me carry momentum forward.

Round 249 ● My Journey ~ round 5 ● Karla, 67y, 5'4"
* Journey SW 231 lb. * UGW 140 lb.
* Round 5 SW 217.0 lb. * EW ??? lb.
🙂Todays thoughts...
- (Day 56) Th 02/01 ✴ 218.5 lb. ~ Ugh!
- Water 60oz+ each day
- Eating healthy; fats, vegetables, fruits, high protein & fiber, 1450 kcal.
- 30min of (IM) intentional movement every day; walking, strength, dance, etc.
🙂What's gone before...
[*](Day 51) Sa 01/27 ✴ 217.4 lb. ~ A really, lazy day. Lots of downtime, quite enjoyable really. There is still time for IM, will meet that goal before bed. Other goals are on point.
[*](Day 52) Su 01/28 ✴ 217.8 lb. ~ Darn it! After last night’s IM, I had a few hours of good function with the knee. However, overnight, and throughout today pain is again increasing lateral, posterior, and under the kneecap. 3 months post partial knee I had hoped the pain would have lessened. I made an appt. with ortho but it is another week away so I’m limiting IM to stretches and upper body work. I have struggled the last few days with choosing good food rather than just watching calories consumed. I need to remember the quality of the calorie counts!
[*](Day 53) Mo 01/29 ✴ 217.8 lb. ~ Again with the increase. Not a good day, It was warm out for a change and I got out of the house for a short walk, but ate badly. It will get better, I continue to learn, but depression hit me again. Winter is hard.
[*](Day 54) Tu 01/30 ✴ 218 lb. ~ Really?! I don’t even know what to say. Losing 2 lbs. took forever but it jumped back on without any effort. Maybe if I ignore it, it will go away.
🙂What's ahead...

🍎🥑🫐 10 more day’s 🫐🥑🍎
I’m a 65 year young Oregon gal working on getting rid of those last 5-8 pounds. Last round I hit my first goal of 135, now working to hit my next goal of 130. The plan this round continues to be a minimum of 10,000 steps 👣, 2-3 days a week at the gym🏋️♀️, logging ✏️ everyday with no snacking after 8:00, and limiting the 🍷to social events only. And of course guzzling the water 💧!!!

SW RND 249 233.2
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.
1/31 235 / Planning for an on track day. Need to not let work get to me today.
2/1 234.6 / Worked and then flew to Toronto. Visiting my husband's family for the weekend. Will be out of my routine. Joining a cycling club for the summer... nervous but excited to do more outdoor rides.

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 249 (my 179th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, as always, so grateful.
Goals for this round; not going to set any numbers as I only self-sabotage when it looks like I’m getting there! So, to weigh less at the end than the start and an NSV to to reduce my resting heart rate (it used to be in the mid 40’s range, but has gradually crept up and is actually 52 at the moment, also no binge eating.
Good luck everyone for a successful round.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 target of 130 = 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.

Day, Weight, Comment
SW RND 249
1/27 142.8 – 8.31 miles walked; 55% exercise calories eaten back. Travelling 2 miles each way today for DGS’s 4th birthday bash at a soft play & then to a dinosaur themed restaurant, I’ve already checked out the menu, not my type of food; all fried ☹ , but will chose the least damage and limit the amount of fries that are served with it, & of course there will be birthday cake!
1/28 144.4 -no structured walking yesterday, only exercise was running around soft play with four little GGC sandwiched between 2 hours each way sitting in the car, calories well over.
1/29 144 – 9.31 miles walked, all exercise calories eaten back.
1/30 144.4 – 9.42 miles, all exercise calories plus eaten back ☹.
1/31 143.8 – 7.24 miles walked. Lunch out with DSs, tried to be as sensible as possible. It’s DH turn to have some health issues; 2 weeks ago both is hands swelled up quite badly, GP suspected osteoarthritis & booked him a full health check, his blood pressure was up and now his bloods have come back & he also has high cholesterol. He is very fit, not overweight, an arborist still working at 63 including climbing trees daily, he does however eat plenty biscuits, chocolate, cakes etc. it seems that all these have finally caught up with him!! He has 2 medical appointments coming up in the next week, one for his blood pressure and one for cholesterol. Seems he is going to be more aligned with my eating!!
2/1 142.4 – 11.04 miles walked, no exercise calories eaten back.
2/2 142.4 – no structured walking as child-minding little DGS, hence ate maintenance. Hubbie has been put on statins for 3 months and advised to moderate his diet (basically to more in line with myself) he is hoping to reduce the cholesterol to negate the need for medication.

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.8 -
Hi everyone and good luck for the next 10 days! I wanna thank this community for being very supportive and nice. It really helps to be consistent.
This is my fourth round in a row! I’m happy that I’m consistent even though I just lost 1 kg (2.2 lbs). The process was very messy with many ups and downs, but it’s good to be here. I’m happy that I’m getting used to eat healthier, I’m trying to have a new eating habit (which is so hard). I aim to be compassionate to myself but also push my limits further.
OSW: 104.7 kg
UGW: 75 kg
RSW:103.6 kg
RGW: 103 kg

1/28 - 103.8 kg
1/29 - 103.8 kg
1/30 - 103.7 kg
1/31 - 103.3 kg
This is the lowest weight for so many months! I’ve been between 103.5-105.5 kg for a long time. I cannot wait to see the 102s! It’s not a huge difference but still feels good.
2/1 - 104.2 kg
I don’t know what’s going on…
2/2 - 104 kg
It was my partner’s mum’s birthday so we went out for dinner (more calories than usual) and ate a small cake (I baked it, not very high in calories)

**************************
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!

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!
2/1 ⚖️131.8 ✅ macros & Kcals🙆♀️🎾🥩. Only 5.2k steps. Didn’t make time for walk I the afternoon. Hung around after tennis too long visiting,laughing & enjoying perfect weather. Lots of 💦.
Today: 🎾 this morn. Will conquer 🏋️♀️🤸🏼. Another beautiful day ahead!
NSV have stayed true to nutrition goals thru thick and thin the last few weeks. Emotional upheavals & circumstances beyond my control (that in the past) would have led me to an evening cocktail, chips & dip, snacking or huge portions. Intense worries for loved ones won’t be solved with a fork. I am starting to consistently conquer letting feelings pass long enough to delay reactions. This is benefiting my life far more than just food. Emotional maturity at 65?!?! Never too late. 😁
2/2 ⚖️132.6 (see NSVs BELOW) ✅🙆♀️🚶♀️🤸🏼🎾🥩
macros & kcals. Managed 20 min of 🤸🏼🏋️♀️before 21/2 hrs of tennis. 🔥1400+kcals. Exhausted in afternoon. 8.2k steps. Ate a nice pork chop.
Today: more 🎾🙆♀️🤸🏼🏋️♀️
NSV still tracking and still moving forward. 132.6? Gain? On the scale yes but hoping some muscle… My clothes are fitting better than @ 129lbs…. 🏋️♀️🤸🏼 is WORKING!!!!
Answering these now….
I'm thankful for...
I'm content with...
I'm excited for...

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.

Today we're going to the Lincoln Center and out to dinner; I've already thought about how to choose so I don't derail. Fresh, healthy, simple. I'll taste my partner's higher calorie choices:-)7 -

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

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)
1/31 205.4 I really don't want to weigh multiple times a day to figure out if I am weighing correctly lol. Testing and changing the scale batteries today.

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.
2/1: 132.6. Sleep has been terrible lately. Not sure why my boys aren't sleeping so well right now. I was under calories yesterday, but I ate pretty bad, as I didn't eat a lot, volume or quality. I woke up extra hungry today. Hoping I can keep food under control today. I have a lot going against me.
2/2: 131.7. A little happy surprise for sure! It's a new low for me! I've been sticking to my calorie goal, but I got to admit, the quality of food hasn't been the best. I need to get back to vegetables and healthy choices. Boys finally slept through the night which was nice.

1/29 oops
1/30 176 here we go again. Long day Sunday, paid for it Monday. Lousy eating both days, even though I planned ahead for Sunday. No formal exercise but lots of walking Sunday, lots of rest Monday. No sleep Sunday night. 5 good hours last night. Looking forward to a lot of sleep tonight.
1/31 175.4 Still feeling bad. Should be over it by now. No exercise. Decent, not great sleep.
2/1 need to eat better today. No exercise. 4 hrs sleep

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 in for Round 249
RND 249 (my first)
SW): 177.8
GW: 165
1/27 - 178.8 I went up a little because I wasn't focused, but I'm going to do better today.
1/28 - 177.2. I was focused on not eating too much too late last night. That's going to be my focus for the rest of this challenge.
1/29 - 176.2. Ice cream Sunday, but I kept my calories low and still got the win. Today I plan on getting a workout.
1/30 - 176.4. I wasn't focused enough at night, snacking got to me, but I won't let it defeat me today! Onwards and upwards
1/31 177.8. I failed! Binge eating at its best
2/1 176.2. Down from yesters nose dive, but still fighting for a victory this week!
2/2 - 175.8. I'm figuring it out. Eating like an upside down pyramid. Meals big for breakfast, medium for lunch, snack for dinner. That's working for me!

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.

~ Not sure what this would be about. I was under calorie and my net carb count was 50. Maybe too much sodium??
~ On a good note, this’ll be my 3rd day logging. MFP makes this so much easier than other apps.

~ Still on it. Having a hard time sleeping though. I should figure that out soon. I have to have to get good sleep to better cope with my grueling job and prevent myself from binging - Wed 01/30🟢178.7;-.9lbs
~ FINALLY!! I’m at a lower weight than where this round started me! That’s all you can hope for sometimes… Let’s keep the momentum going! - Tue 01/30🔴179.6;-.9lbs
~ 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! - Sun 01/28🔴179.5;+.5lbs
~ Those 3 macadamia nut cookies were so good though!!😫 - Sat 01/27🟢179; +0lbs
~ 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!?
~ Still working towards eating on an IF schedule between 2pm and 10pm - SW: 179
~ 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!!
~ Still weighing in in the morning
~ Still practicing dirty keto
