2/25: whatever was yesterday morning about? I was so surprised by the bump that I weighed myself in the afternoon again-I was back to 135, and this morning I am again.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.2 -

I need to be honest with myself. I haven't been calorie counting. No matter how many meals I have, I still need to calorie count because my calories tend to creep up over time. I haven't been getting 22 active minutes per day but I have been reaching my weekly active minutes target. I need to ensure I get at least 22 minutes per day no matter what the weather. I have an elliptical machine and I need to use it when the weather stops me from my daily walk. I need to acknowledge that to progress I need to be calorie counting and hitting my daily 22 active minutes per day.

👣💦🌺Just 10 more days 🌺💦👣
I’m a retired 65 year old Oregon gal who enjoys getting out in nature. I started this latest journey to better health on October 1st with a high of 148.2. I have slowly been checking off 5 pounds at a time, and most likely are on my final 5 pounds of this journey. This round I really need to watch the water 💦 intake and remember to leave the evening snacks alone. I hope to flirt with 130 a time or 2️⃣ on this round!! 😉

About Me & Health Journey
****************************F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean Ketovore 🥩. Track macros, kcals, all exercise and NSVs. HW 172lbs in 2010.
WOE since 7/2023: Whole Foods only. Emphasis is animal-based proteins. EGGS, Beef, pork, chicken, seafood, venison and grass-fed whey protein. I count macros & kcals - always will. (Since portion control is my issue). Keto is high-fat but I’m now leaning lower fat with leaner proteins. My mother was diagnosed with celiac’s disease in her 50’s. Following her lead, I eliminated wheat, oat, barley, and rye several years ago…. Dairy? Hard cheese, HWC and butter -an occasional Greek yogurt. Vegetables destroy my digestive system… Of course, I love vegetables, but when I splurge, I pay for it for a few days… I do enjoy berries, lemon, lime. Avocados are my weakness. Enjoy a piece of dark chocolate on occasion. It’s takin me almost 8 months to embrace. Generally, I eat btw noon and 6 pm. (IF18/6). This is me. I feel terrific.
History:
I have ALWAYS been ON a “diet” since high school. I have never been comfortable with my body - NEVER - no matter my weight.
Pre- college: 125-130lbs
College- up to 160lbs one year… graduated @130lbs.
1990 (Age 32) - Avg.135/140 lbs (my son was born 1988)
2000 (Age 42) -Avg 145 -160
2010 (Age 52) - HW 172 lbs in 2010. 130lbs by end of 2014.
2020 (Age 62) 130-135lbs
7/2023 (Age 64) 145lbs
1/2024 (Age 65) 130lbs
UGW = 129-130lbs
⬆️SMM: 100lbs +
BF% : 23%
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. Six 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 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.)
Now “Fit & Healthy” & striving to improve my body composition. Let’s go!5 -

2/26: I realized I added my last post for 251 here instead of there; I also realized that I started with Rnd 245, not 246 so this is actually my 8th challenge. My "pasting and posting" abilities are challenged:-) I'm really glad to be here again, thanks to everyone for sharing your struggles and successes, it really helps. Let's go and get healthy!8
