@deepwoodsladyI 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.
You struck a big chord for me- I feel your pain, I've lived the results :-(
We got our GS cookies the other day, and I know that, for me, I'm always one thin mint away from a binge. Last night my partner happily sat munching cookies and he offered me one; I said no thank you. Then he offered me a bite of his. Why does he do that? He, for whom food is never a problem, who had to eat to gain weight his whole life. He's watched me agonizingly gain and lose 25lbs more than once over the last 15 years, sitting on the couch working my way through anything in the pantry. He's usually supportive, but he just doesn't understand the difference for me. And he doesn't need to- I need to. I didn't "bite".
50 + years of yoyo-ing has taught me that, not unlike an alcoholic, I'm best avoiding sugary treats or salty/fatty snacks. I've binged my way up and starved my way down for years and it wreaked havoc on my digestive system, my blood pressure and my emotional/mental well-being. When I found this challenge less than 2 months ago, I decided this is my personal Waterloo. Enough.
I want this to be the year where I find balance and feel good about what and how I eat. I want to eat healthfully and feel satisfied- and treat food like the pleasure it is, but remove the unhealthy choices from my lexicon. This needs to be a shift in my thinking and habits, not yet another doomed diet.
And now I know, of course, that it won't end when I see that "magic number" on the scale- this is a lifetime commitment. I need to be here, being aware of my choices, sharing with others who have the same dilemma. Because those Girls Scout cookies will always be lurking out there, just waiting for me...
Rant over. Thanks for listening :-)10 -

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.
2/18 – 125.6 It was a complicated day, food wise. Did not track, but I am familiar enough with what is “ok” that I went with monitored but untracked. Scale seems to agree. Started this morning with a “fun” walk. I have purchased pet backpacks, so this morning I included Han Solo (one of my cats) in my walk. Could only do one lap due to my shoulders/neck and the backpack. But it is clearly an option when I want.

thanks @Cchassee there were only 60+ walkers, so only so impressive. But I was happily surprised by my pace. It was better than I hoped for. The consequence today though is tender buttocks. :P (I've recently read that fast walking uses the gluten more than running does)

@SModa61 The first year I was in Nevada DD and I entered a walk (me) run (she). I was so surprised and excited to come in 3rd in my age group! Later learned there were only 3 in the category. Oh well, I’m still proud of finishing and my certificate is in it frame.8 -

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.

I’m going to a friend’s this morning to knit, and she said she has treats, so I’m going to have to watch myself.

Oh, good. I did have some rhubarb pie yesterday at my friend’s house, and DH made rigatoni for dinner, so I expected to be up a bit. Hopefully this will hold if I behave myself today. Have a lovely Sunday!

Rant over. Thanks for listening :-)
@judefit1 Thanks so much for your response. Yours is such a powerful message! Sometimes I feel so alone in this WAR with sugar, but clearly I am not. I have even been told that the sugar fed my cancer (when I had breast cancer) and even that doesn't always stop me. It is very powerful. But I'm with you, ENOUGH! The yoyo-ing does need to STOP. That yoyo-ing is just as bad as sugar and every other bad habit I may have. We've got to stop putting our bodies through this and really make eating a HEALTHY but productive and sustainable choice. I love your positive attitude on this subject and your self-awareness. You have reminded me that the "magic number" on the scale will never be the end. In fact, for all intents & purposes, it is actually the beginning. The beginning of a new life, the one I could have and should have had all along. I know this is not easy for any of us. Most of us have our "demons" or we wouldn't be here. Putting diet, exercise and mindset all together is like trying to figure out the 3 number combination on a safe. It's EXCRUCIATINGLY difficult but not impossible. I guess they don't call this a journey for nothing! Thanks again for sharing your own trials, your "Waterloo" with me/us.6 -

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 -179.2- (Trend weight 180.5) Pile it on, whittle it off. Gosh, I thought the scale would go down a bit more considering how hungry I was yesterday and how well I coped/starved. I came within an inch of another binge, this time it was hungry and cravings all rolled up into one. Then I looked at my watch and was shocked to see it was already after 2:00 a.m. So I said to myself, “Donna, you won’t even be awake long enough to gloat in it or bask in its sunshine”, so I didn’t do it. I must admit, had it been 9:00 pm I think I would have caved. There is more than one kind of strength training. The one with my handweights is much easier than this! I’m already starting my day off still hungry. In fact, when I went to copy today’s post to add to my saved format, I thought my computer said Pasta. It said Paste.

~ I wanted to use this moment to ask @everyone a question(this is for anyone who doesn’t mind sharing) it has come to my attention that some people, myself being an example, have been prescribed a medication that has a side effect of weight loss or appetite suppressant. I realize that some people may not have the same side effects but would anyone mind sharing their experience on this??
~ For me personally, I have been prescribed ADD medication for my entire adult life and I’ve never been “skinny” mind you, BUT I have noticed that it does help with my appetite on the days I take it. Vyvanse is a bit weaker in this arena compared to when I used to be on Adderall.
~ I was talking to my mom who’s just recently gone through the change and who’s doctor has been trying to find her the right “cocktail” to help her with her ups and downs. She has been so amazing lately and I finally asked her.. “You’ve been so chill lately and you’ve been losing weight so quickly, like what’s going on??” A little back story here; she has DRASTICALLY gained weight over the last 2 years due to previously prescribed pain meds and surgeries… and my mother has always been genetically petite her whole life. And I finally asked her like “What gives ??” And apparently it’s the Pellet she’s had inserted a little while ago.
~ Another scenario is my husband has been prescribed Wegovy (due to being pre-diabetic)but he was hoping to stop himself from gaining more weight and ultimately prevent another heart attack. But for him it hasn’t been helping him lose weight thus far
~ Does anyone else have a story similar to this?
~ Also: Is anyone doing this NATURALLY with no help??
I’m begging for more insight on this! Thank you in advance!4 - Sat 02/17: 178.5;+.4lbs

I can’t weigh myself everyday because it leads to bad behaviors for me so I will weigh myself end of these 10 days. Anyway. I walked on my ancient treadmill for an hour today! First substantial work out since November and since my total thyroidectomy. It felt really good and I’m proud of myself as I woke up exhausted.10 -

SW RND 251: 161.8lbs
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.
2/18: 163.6 lbs Almost 2 pounds up from where I started! I guess I am still gaining from the party splurge. I did have a lot of salt in my dinner so perhaps that has contributed to my gains.

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 251 (my 181st). Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this going, so grateful.
Goals for this round; to lose! And to break the “always looking for something to put in my mouth” syndrome!
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.

2/17 144.4 – so there it is the weight at the end of the family holiday, luckily not too much of a hike and something to work at. We spent yesterday at National Trust property Errdig, DGC played in the woods, climbed the trees, balanced on the fallen trees, enjoyed the tree swing and after our picnic enjoyed toasting marshmallows before we all went our separate ways to travel home. A wonderful family week; it seemed really quiet when we got home !!
2/18 143.6 – 11.22 miles walked; 36% of exercise calories eaten back. It feels good to be back in the swing!!

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
2/18 181.9 woke up feeling better today! Still didn't have enough sleep but I did sleep better
