Female 60 years old
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.

@Krysless2 I would love to do this and NEED to do it but concern over my DH and the idiots creating stress in this neighborhood have me distracted. I need to get to the point where I just do it for myself.

~ I wish I would have pre-logged yesterday. Taking the rice out of the left over Home chef meal did NOT make it low carb! If I was in Ketosis I’m probably not anymore! It is a new day and the first thing I did upon opening my little eyeballs(besides putting in my contacts and brushing my teeth) was drink my 40 oz cup of water and get on the treadmill! I really don’t want to [insert in bold!!]WILL NOT!! Self-sabotage this weekend.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/15 …..178.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

02/16 -178.2- (Trend weight 180.7) I am pleasantly surprised at this little bump down on the scale. I ate one of my pre-planned higher calorie days yesterday so I thought it would be the opposite. I think freshly cooked homemade unprocessed food made the difference. Good luck everyone this round. Let’s make this round full of successes!

02/17 -179.6- (Trend weight 180.6) Yesterday I planned a day with moderate calories and carbs. I did really well until the Sugarfest All-Out Binge last night. I didn’t even want to post today but accountability is the whole point, right? So today I will be doing one of the lowest calorie & carb days to reverse things. It’s Very Obvious….Completely Clear….I have no more control over sugar than I did when I began this journey in 2018. I long for the day when I can have a “Sliver” of cake or “Just One” piece of chocolate from a box of chocolates. Will that day ever come? I just don’t see it happening.

02/18 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

02/19 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

02/20 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

02/21 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

02/23 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

02/24 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

02/25 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Random stuff about me:

I am 59 years old this month (ouch). I currently live in Texas with my hubby and crew of kitty babies. I am a neonatal nurse practitioner and work 24hour shifts in a busy NICU. If it looks like I disappear on random days…that’s why! About 10 years ago I lost 135 pounds. Never made it to goal but just sort of leveled off at ~200 pounds. Over time I gained back nearly 50. Working on getting back at least to my low weight of 200. I would like to eventually make it to 150 where I think I would be comfortable.

Previous rounds:

SW RND 250: 244.5
EW RND 250: 239
RND weight -/+: -5.5lbs

2/16: 161.8 lbs I have been struggling with hunger when skipping breakfast the last few days. After advice from quiltingjaine, I am going to try to have lunch around 11am and dinner around 6pm to see if that will work better.

2/17: 163.1 lbs I ate a lot at a party. I went in to the party thinking I would just eat a few things which turned in to eating all the things. If I could go back in time, I not even sure I would change anything. I had a great time and I am back on track today.

Hi friends! I just redownloaded myfitnesspal for what seems like the tenth time 😅. I had surgery 2 weeks ago to remove my thyroid (Graves’ disease, anyone?). I feel 100x better and want to start eating a little better too. Tracking helps!
Cw: 181ish
Gw: 170
Today was good, ate a lot more protein than usual and noticed a huge difference in hunger aka feeling fuller longer! Now I just need to incorporate more steps.

Round 251
February 16 - 25, 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

2/16 – 126.4

2/17 – 126.6 So Interesting day (I am posting at night). Day started out with a bang. I entered a 5K as a walker this morning (249 people) and got my best walking pace yet and actually came in “first” of the walkers. Got home and needed to get the house put together (and a shower) as guests were coming over. Was multitasking along the way and DH was helping. I had my computer awkwardly balanced and DH knocked into it while vacuuming. Computer is now semi broken. Oh well. I can still type and post, despite the hinky screen.

Hey everyone, I'm Crystal! I did this challenge several years ago and loved it. Starting this challange again this round (Feb 16th). I started getting serious again about weight loss in October last year (2023). Counted calories, watched my sugar and carbs and did IF (16/8). I had already been doing the fasting part of it for over a year. Lost about 12-13 lbs by Christmas but hit a plateau so decided to give OMAD a try. Just started that Feb 5th. I eat my 1 meal at dinner time, anywhere between 5:30-7 pm. Allow myself a dessert an hr later, give or take and that is it until the next day. (Aside from coffee, which I refuse to give up in the mornings). Still following my macro goals as well. Looking forward to reading everyone's stories and tips/goals! ❤️

2/16 183.1: 2 lbs up from a few days ago. I woke up feeling BAD and was sluggish and nauseous all day. Yesterday we ate fast food because I didn't have time to prepare anything and we were in a rush.. Well lesson learned.
2/17 182.5 just having an off couple of days. Only a few hours of sleep last night too. Hoping for more sleep tonight, and a better day tomorrow

HW- 242
LW- 142
2024- 200.4

I’ve been slowly gaining 10lbs a year over the last few years. This challenge helped me stay focused in the past.

2/16- 194.4
2/17- 194.4
2/18- 194.8 just a normal fluctuation. My calories were great, probably a bit too much sodium. Today is Sunday Funday, lol that means my workout crew will be doing an obstacle course style workout. My crew is 10 women (ages 47-72) we meet three times a week in our garage or the park to workout HARD. We’ve been together for four years now.

2/16 131.0lbs. It’s important to me to have a new focus every round. (Not just a continuation of the previous round). For 20 rounds now, I’ve viewed this time as “becoming” vs “being” I’m basically at my destination- so now what? I thought “maintenance” was just about maintaining weight but it’s actually LIVING a new daily life … I want this WOE to be who I am at my core. And, how do I live each day with everything in my life supporting that choice?!…. It’s pretty simple… If it doesn’t fit, get rid of it… And start something new… And LOVING IT!! 🍀to all! Let’s get it done!

2/17 Yesterday was another non-routine day. Started reading “Habit Mechanic”. A “how to” tool book/workbook combining behavioral science, neuroscience and psychology to identify unwanted habits and start new ones. If serious about weight loss, changing any aspect of your life & becoming the best version of yourself, I highly recommend it. Today will be another cold, wet, ugly day, … I’ll be able to get in 🙆‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼. Hope to 🚶‍♀️but the weather may not cooperate. Food is planned.
Also want to thank @quiltingjaine and @camandjarvis for your detailed, thoughtful responses. My thinking cap is on.

2/18 I read yesterday to not focus on gaining muscle until body fat % down. I’m looking forward to speaking to my “trainer” Friday. I know it could sound to most I’m splitting hairs but ever since she told me, “Skinny Fat” … oh gosh just … oh gosh! I felt really, really bad. A friend of mine said, “WELL, I’d much rather be “skinny fat” than just plain ole FAT!” Well not me. I’ve been an athlete most of my life, and to learn that I’m NOT “in shape” when I sincerely believed I was, was alarming … After 8 wks of going from ZERO to moderate 🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️, I’m definitely feeling more tone & stronger. I WILL keep trusting that the process is working & the scan shows it…. But…. ngl, I’m apprehensive about Friday. Let’s just keep focused and DO the work ….Today: very cold and extra windy (for me) 🙆‍♀️🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️ inside this morn & will🚶‍♀️later weather permitting. Food planned.

About Me & Health Journey
****************************

F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean Ketovore 🥩. Track macros, kcals, all exercise and NSVs. HW 172lbs in 2010.

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.135/140 lbs
2000 (Age 42) - Avg 145 lbs
2010 (Age 52) Avg 150, HW 172 lbs in 2010. 130 by end of 2014.
2020 (Age 62) 130-135lbs
7/2023 (Age 64) 145lbs
1/2024 (Age 65) 130lbs

UGW = 129-130lbs
⬆️SMM: 100lbs +
Initial BF% : 22%

Aug 14, 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take serious control of my health. I lost 30lbs by 11/15/2014. Weight @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Five years!

Another 🎢 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 10/30 - held 130lbs till 2/1/23.

2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much. Nutrition has always been somewhat healthy BUT portion control is/was THE issue. Started tracking again 7/15/23. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are @ 130ish determined to…. STOP the 🎢 & 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 be healthy & fit & maintain approx. 130lbs & IN SHAPE.

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 was absent. Strength & balance are 💯most important now. Time to incorporate ST 🏋️‍♀️ 🙆‍♀️🤸🏼as my TRUE focus.

Cumulative Round Results
7/15/23 SW 145lbs
R231 - R 247, lost 15lbs to 130.
Avg loss 1lbs per Round. Painfully SLOW.
Jan/Feb: Ticked up to a steady 132ish. Happier@129-130.
(I was in “maintenance” for 4 to 6 weeks and it’s slowly ticked up.)

Let’s go!
