@judefit1 Thank you! I call those my Happy Shoes! I love them, too. Just putting them on can make me smile. Oh, and happy birthday. Sorry I missed it earlier.
@Flabbyabs81 Welcome to the group! I think you'll love it here. I've always wanted to visit Ireland. Looks like such a beautiful place from pictures.4 -

3/17 185.0 Worked in the yard on a glorious spring day and changed out winter to spring decor in the house. Still not feeling 100% but getting better. Over 9K steps in spite of no formal exercise. Maybe I’ll feel like a long walk today.
3/18 183 Lots of garden/yard work, carrying off limbs fallen from trees over the winter, weeding, hoeing, etc. Got in a walk with Dad at the lake. When he needs to sit and rest, I will walk out and back to him at a faster rate. Works for both of us. Such a beautiful day!
NSV: I’ve noticed the sugar and fast food cravings have passed. This is huge for me. Hope it holds!

3/18: thinking about my goal as I get close to that 130 mark, which for me has always been the demarcation between fit and not fit. I feel great now (other than the usual aging aches and pains) and my BP, BMI and other trackers are in a healthy range. These last few lbs are not so critical for wellness, but I have this idea that there's a static spot I need to reach and then all's well in the universe.
Of course, "grownup me" knows that it's about maintaining healthy patterns of eating, exercise, water and activities that enrich and de-stress my life. In the past, I've done that for months or years and then been derailed by my own hubris- or just love of food, depending when you ask me:-) I'd start to gain, avoid the scale as if it was the school principal and I didn't have to go, and sit on the couch at night eating a Costco bag of Cape Cod chips. No wonder it didn't work, it's hard to avoid myself.
I'm so impressed by those of you who have been posting here for months and years as you've reached goals, fluctuated and lived your lives with awareness of your choices- and honesty to yourself. Your commitment to taking care of yourself is inspiring. I think that's been my hardest lesson this time- it's not about getting to some magic number and saying, "oh, great- I'm good now."
My dieting and eating patterns have been built into my psyche over a lifetime; they're not gonna change anytime soon without changing the grooves on the record. I'm committed to keep this accountability going, cause I think that may make a difference.
So, I think now that 130ish is where the real work begins.
There, deep thinking over for today- thanks for the forum!9 -

About Me, WOE & 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. No processed foods. 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 healthy fats with leaner proteins. I had paralyzing IBS for 20 years. 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… I love vegetables, but when I splurge, I pay for it for a few days… I do enjoy berries, lemons, limes. Avocados are my weakness. Enjoy a piece of dark chocolate on occasion. Generally, I eat btw noon and 6 pm. (IF18/6). Alcohol? Used to be a social drinker and would enjoy a good martini/scotch or Paloma at home while cooking dinner. NO MORE. Root of many evils. Primarily, the destruction of will power and the enemy of optimal choices. I’d rather journey toward my best-self. I haven’t given up alcohol completely, but I enjoy it sparingly on special occasions. This is me. I finally feel terrific.
History:
I have ALWAYS been ON a “diet” since at least high school. I have never been comfortable with my body - NEVER EVER- no matter my weight.
Pre- college: 125-130lbs
College- up to 160lbs one year… graduated @130lbs.
Many different diets each decade!
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. My 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 - to enjoy my “Senior” years to my fullest.
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. I want healthy/fit choices to be my first nature.

Rnd 263- 189.4

3/18- 193.4 as predicted there is the up tick. I’ve been told that it’s impossible to gain 5lbs over night, that it’s not “real” weight. But I know that if I don’t actively start working real hard on this, the 5lbs will stick.

Well, this is very unexpected. Although it was kind of a high protein, low sodium, low (for me) carb day yesterday. The protein came from my “quality assurance” sampling of the pork shoulder yesterday morning.
Welcome to the newcomers!

/did not log; very little exercise; not enough water/
As far as goals go, a very poor day yesterday. I remind myself of me a couple months ago before rejoining our ten-day challenge. Not a sustainable lifestyle.
But, I am still on the wagon here folks.
On a side note, at least I have the NCAA basketball tournaments to engage with. 😊 My alma mater Iowa State has a pretty high seed this year. Hoping the right ISU team shows up for the games. We beat Houston twice this year, but they still got seeded higher than we did. I guess the tournament committee is also wondering which ISU team will show up. Ha.
I will root for the University of Iowa women’s team against my better judgement as a cyclone. I want to see Clark get to cut down the nets.
Need to find something to replace mindless eating while watching TV. Celery sticks or tulip leaves. I can’t decide which would be worse.
Any ideas?

3/17 - 243.6 (My husband and I stayed up until 2 AM last night drinking wine and watching Oppenheimer. What a great movie. Today we did a dog walk and tons of cleaning. I've been reflecting a lot on my mental state and how frustrated I am with how much of the weight I gained back. The thoughts feel punishing and I can't find peace. Need to find a way to put that disappointment behind me to move forward.)

I'm Crystal! 40 yrs old, wife and mama of 3! Aiming for 1200 calories/day, less than 90 carbs and low sugar. Was doing OMAD, but adding a protein shake in after my afternoon walk to see if that will help with loss since I'm not eating a lot of protein.

Goals for this round are to increase my steps, maybe even adding another walk in on most days.
Round previous comments:3/17 176.4 Decent day yesterday, a little higher on sodium though. I was hungry last night when I went to bed but didn't give in to snacking. Brushed my teeth and drank some water and that was that. Hoping to have a better loss this round. I seemed to have hit another plateau so I'm hoping more steps will help with this, along with aiming for more protein.3/18 176.4 We normally go out to eat on Sundays but we didn't yesterday thankfully. Still high on sodium. I hadn't really been watching my sodium intake much until recently. It really is hard to stay in my goal for that. I cut my sugar cravings and I honestly rarely crave sugar anymore, so I know I can do better about sodium too. Hoping for a better week, at least to lose something! Hope the same for everyone else who's trying to lose ❤️.

First timer here. Have a mini goal to get under 200 by the end of the month so I need all the motivation I can get. I'm ready to do this!! Haven't been under 200 since 2009. I'm 66 - 5'5" female in Northern Michigan where winter never ends. Heading south in mid April to spend a couple weeks on the beach so I'm really looking forward to that!! SW 256.

3/17 - DNW
Happy St. Gertrude’s Day! 😸 I’m doing well with not tracking, though I do automatically click the track button sometimes. I am definitely not obsessing so much about food, and am not craving anything. Anyway, I’m continuing not tracking this round and am also going to limit weigh ins to days 5 & 10.
3/18 - DNW
Stepping on the scale in the morning is such a habit I forgot not to this morning. But I’m not going to report the number. 😊 it’s cold and snowing and I have two knitting projects almost finished, so guess what I’m going to do today?! Have a good one, all

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.
Spent last round on vacation and only gained half a pound, so that's a win! Now it's time to get serious and lose some weight before my son's wedding at the end of April.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/16 …..181.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
03/17 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) I was woke up by my oldest daughter this morning who needed to borrow my pickup truck to pick up something she found on facebook marketplace. I ended up not getting a weigh-in before coffee. Yesterday lacked exercise again but the diet was okay. I did have some skittles and smarties from Easter candy my other daughter (foodie daughter) brought in but I don’t think it was enough to throw off my whole day. I guess we’ll see tomorrow. Good luck everyone this round. I plan on really putting a dent in it this time around.
03/18 -180.4- (Trend weight 180.4) Down almost one pound so I am happy to see that. It’s unusual for my scale weight and my trend weight to be exactly the same. I’ve got to get that trend weight trending back down or I’ll never get out of the 170’s and get to cross off pink and get to purple on my chart below. What a glorious day that would be. I haven’t weighed in the 160’s in about 25 years!

Life's a roller coaster full of dips and turns ... some fun, some not so much. The key is how quickly we recover. Give yourself a little grace @ashleycarole86 as sadly, the ups and downs will part of the ride til its over. For me, I've learned accountability (even if its only logging every. single. bite) is my greatest key to regaining control after unapologetic slips or slides -- sometimes initiated by me, sometimes life jerking the wheel. Either way ~ let go of the whys and whatnots as yesterday is gone and only matters if we linger on it. LET TODAY be a bright new beginning and tomorrow will be better because of what you think/feel/do right now. {{{{{{{{VIRTUAL HUGS FRIEND}}}}}}}}} You're not alone and we got your back!!
you too @rekaroo2482! You've done it before so you know you can do it again ~ one painful baby step @ time until it no longer hurts. YOU. GOT. THIS. 👊🏽8
