We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

SW RND 257 134.5
4/16 134.0 Finally dropped a bit and DH set up dinner date at Golden Corral 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I have a plan since we are going later so friends can get butterfly shrimp. I will get salad and steak and see what good veggies they have. I can do this! OY! This morning has been a mess. Now to finish reading today’s posts.
4/17 136.5 I only ate one meal yesterday. That was at GC. I really didn’t eat a lot of food but it was high carb-breaded shrimp and Nashville Chicken Bites, sugar free vanilla cake and the blueberry filling from a slice of SF blueberry pie, at a 2” square of real crust from “apple cobbler.” I also drank a lot of water after we got home. I feel bloated-something I don’t experience often. Optometrist today so I can replace the glasses that broke when I fell in Ensenada. Tonight is community bingo with pizza for dinner.🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
4/18 138.5 The thick crust pizza was cold be the time it was served so I couldn’t even pry the toppings lose to throw the crust away. This is turning into a stellar week🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️I’m having my BP coffee and pondering my plan. On the upside-It’s great of the scale to let me know it’s working by showing increases.🤪😂
4/19 136.5 Liquid fast yesterday
4/20 134.5 Liquid fast yesterday but short on water. Going to Great Greek today
4/21 135.0 Super low calories the last week, no idea why the bump up. Just keeping to it and riding the waves.
4/22 134.5 Today I have my Art Quilt group across town.

4/22: still in AZ and decided that fun is as important as conscientiousness! I've weighed consistently for 120 days; I'm not going to log my weight until I get back, which will be the last day of this round. I'll be happy if I stay under 130. I'll pay attention, walk in the desert, do yoga on my friend's covered patio and enjoy this break from the cold and rain that continues at home!

RND 257
1st round for me
Total so far this round: (-1.2)

4/15 153.0
4/16 152.6 Ate out for lunch and dinner, went about 200 over calories goal and didn't eat as many veggies as I prefer. Will make a meal plan for the week today and include more veggies.
4/17 151.8 stayed within calories, ate more vegetables, still need to work on more water 💦, did not make a meal plan for the week so doing that this morning
4/18 152.2 I feel better with no dairy and gluten. I’ve been on a modified bed rest for 3 weeks due to various issues in the L4-L5-S1 of my spine, waiting to see specialists. A friend brought dinner over and I ate gluten and dairy, weight and inflammation are up. No surprise.
4/19 151.2 A more normal eating day yesterday, still need to keep working on getting all my water 💦 in
4/20 152.4 Went to dinner with friends and ate a way larger dinner with dessert than I am used to later at night. Was over calories by 300.
4/21 152.4
4/22 151.8 I ate some sugary items on Saturday after the Friday dessert. Seems to work that way, when I eat sugar I want it again and again. Sunday I chose not to eat sugar and I ate less than the two days before. I’m not saying no sugar/never sugar. For me, it tends to awaken a craving and then I tend to overeat when I’m eating sugar.

Round Goal <203.

1. Eat within calorie goals
2. Get a walk in every day
3. Drink water
4. Stay positive
5. Remember, the tortoise wins the race

4/16 204.0 Good start and now to keep it moving. I've had a cold the last few days and haven't felt like doing much exercising not that I do much anyway. But we had started walking once a day around the area lake. Today it's been raining off and on so I don't know if we will get that walk in or not. I did get a new food journal which I really like.

4/17 203.6 I wasn’t sure about any loss today. Last night we ate at Cracker Barrel but I had the grilled trout, cooked baby carrots, fried apples and one and a half biscuits. I was worried the bread would do me in, I’ve not had very much bread at all this past month. Also had a very short walk last night but it was something.

4/18 203.6 Traveling today to spend two days with my mom.

4/19 DNW
4/20 DNW

4/21 203.2 I’m very pleased that I was able to travel to visit my mom and my weight go down instead of up. I need to be very careful the rest of the day.

4/22 203.4 I am very happy that it only went up .2 since yesterday I ate way over my calorie goal and of course stuff I shouldn’t have. Onto a better day and looking ahead to seeing a lower number tomorrow.

4/22 - 148.7 - Glad to be back down, even if I'm just bouncing around this weight a bit. I'll take it given it was a weekend and things never go as planned food-wise on weekends hah! Today is officially Day 1 with my new Coach. She got me access to the app Friday afternoon so I spent the weekend logging what I could and simply getting comfortable with it, learning all the features. I can input my workouts (even though we're not focused there), food, weight, steps, etc. I'm excited to see where this leads. This week is simply logging at least 4 days so we can see where I stand. I have macro goals in place, but the focus isn't on meeting them perfectly. We're learning this week and next week we can implement changes to try to meet those macros more consistently. Will be interesting since I'll be gone this weekend and eating out at least Saturday dinner and Sunday breakfast/lunch due to the 10k (out of town). Will need to figure out meal plan for next week so I can get groceries on Saturday morning before we leave otherwise I might not be getting groceries until Tuesday and no meal prepping for either of us! Eeek!

Previous Day's Comments

4/16 - DNP
4/17 - Busy with work and completely forgot to check in and post! Oops. Doing pretty well so far. BF skipped out on the gym this morning but I went and had a really good back&shoulders day by myself. I'm suuuuuper duper sore in my legs from Monday so I think I'm holding on to a little weight from DOMS. I just got my 2 new recipe books in, both Paleo (Well Fed and Well Fed 2). Meals planned out for today and feeling capable. Hopefully work is productive but not overly stressful. Yesterday was a good balance and I'd be okay with that again.
4/18 - TOM and with a vengeance. For what? I don't know. I knew it was going to start today and it hit right as I started my workout. Ouch. I'm super bloated and horrid cramping so I'm taking it as easy as possible the rest of the day. Explains the scale, though! Almond butter oatmeal for breakfast. Chicken pot pie soup for lunch, dinner will be ground beef and broccoli. Depending on if I need to be on a work call about 10pm tonight, I'll wake up and run (last run before the 10k next weekend). BF going to the gym for a second round of legs. Work is busy busy busy and stressful. Can't wait to get this part of the project DONE
4/19 - I ended up waking up right as BF came back from the gym and it threw me off routine so I forgot to weigh. I'm not upset about it, I'm still dealing with some horrible TOM/PMS including bloat so it's probably better I don't see the scale and add one more reason to be down on myself. Instead, I told myself I was going to have a really good run and I did. I repeated the Peloton 60 minute walk/run and I feel like I did better (at least I felt better) during this one which is good. I'm tired and sore (hills) but I feel accomplished. I ended up getting a coach for the next 4 months. Typically they do 6 months but since I'm ahead of the game compared to her normal clients, she's starting me at 4 with option to continue after that. Our focus is nutrition but I can ask small things about exercise and mindset or I can choose to add in those coaching modules for an added price at any time, too. Due to budget I'm sticking to the number one thing I feel like I could use the most help which is nutrition. I'm excited to start Monday! I think having the monetary investment will keep me accountable and the added accountability to my coach will keep me better focused and more aligned with goals than trying to do it on my own. I know how to eat right, but I'm still very unbalanced macro-wise which is what she'll help me with. Progress, not perfection!

04/20

04/21 — My meals have been great. My exercise is still almost non-existent as I am probably “over-babying” the foot right now. My snacks have been over-the-top. I ABSOLUTELY can very easily over-eat (or binge) on my approved low calorie/low carb foods. So everything I ate yesterday was healthy and to-plan. Just too much of it. Part hunger, part food obsession/binge disorder. I’ve got to get a grip. What causes these binges to creep up? What happened this time? The foot injury and inability to exercise? The cancer scare? The renovation and the mess and turmoil in my daily life it causes? Life has challenges, fears, stresses. I am trying really hard not to cope with food and emotional eating. It’s a battle in itself. I’ll try harder to put out the fires tonight, that’s all I can do.

04/22 -- I have developed a muffin-top which is the stage right before you need a new size. I’m pretty disgusted right now and can’t take much more disappointment. The struggle is real. You are not alone.

4/16 178.0 That was a pretty good drop since yesterday, so I won’t be surprised with a bounce tomorrow, if there is one. Had a great walk in the neighborhood last night. The weather has been picture perfect the last few days! Food has been on track now for quite some time. I’m craving protein at night recently but so far I am resisting once I’m done for the day. I’m happy with the macro levels I am currently achieving. We are moving Dad into Assisted Living next Wednesday, so I'm having trouble shutting my brain down at night. Only getting about 5 hours of sleep these days and that's after I get up and finally take a nerve pill. I know Assisted Living's the right thing to do, and he seems to be ok with it, but I just worry.
4/17 178.4 Did a yoga session right before bed and that did seem to help me get to sleep. Today I need to get in a good walk.
4/18 178.4 No real exercise today, but some yoga before bed to help me sleep.
4/19 178.2 Got in a long walk after dinner and it felt great to get in some real mileage. I did find out that Medicare will pay for a gym membership through the Silver Sneakers program, so I may give that a try once it kicks in and I have a little more time for myself. They have water aerobics and a circuit training for us OAPs (LOL) that maybe my knees can handle. Plus, of course, you have access to everything else there. I used to enjoy my gym before Covid. We'll see. I gave in and had a chocolate milkshake with my granddaughter and my dad, so yesterday was my highest carb day since starting this. I guess we will find out if my walk and only eating salad afterwards will prevent a bounce.
4/20 177.6 I’ve increased the distance of my walks and am really enjoying that after dinner. Hubby starts out with me most of the time and then I finish after he goes back to the house. But now I'm going a lot further than I was before. I am sleeping better, so I’m hoping to be able to keep this going.
4/21 178.8 Not sure what brought about this little bounce, but hoping I get it gone tomorrow. Continued my walking this afternoon and it really feels great! Did well with food choices again today.
4/22 178.6 My eating is on track, and I’m getting in lots more exercise than even last round. I'm even drinking more water as well. I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing and the numbers will eventually cooperate. I lost good last round and often the round after that is SLOW! That’s exactly what’s going on here. It’ll be just fine!

Goals for 10 Day Challenge: weigh-in and post daily!
Starting Weight: 167.9
Starting BMI: 33.8

5 year member of MFP, and rejoining this group over a long hiatus as you all really helped me reach my goal weight back in March 2020 and transition to maintenance. (did 30 rounds in 2019-20, so this is round 32!) Covid happened and the weight has gradually crept back on so starting over again. I know I can do this (keeping my old profile photo for motivation), but I have to focus on tracking calories in, balancing macros and incorporating exercise - ideally a mix of cardio and weights (one thing I know is that I just can't exercise at the level I was before) and figuring out how to maintain good habits (always the issue)! Right now that is a long way out, but little steps like the 10-day challenge are what I need! So here we go again!

4/16 167.9 Annual exam. Weight is almost at my highest (177.1) and my cholesterol is high. Starting over

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 257 (my 187th). So grateful @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round; to lose! To be consistent and lose something. I start this round a year older (hopefully wiser ?) Officially an OAP! How can that be I can’t possibly be that old – I feel much much younger 😊.
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.

4/23 184.2 Yesterday was really hard but I kept my health as a priority. My husband has some health issues that can and have been controlled by diet and exercise but he has been off the rails for months.
We had a wake up call yesterday that I’m hoping motivates him to turn this ship around. He stayed out of the hospital this time but I’ve spent my fair share of nights sleeping in a chair in the ICU.
I used a lot of kitten words yesterday.
I genuinely believe that we each have to make our own food decisions but he’s lost that right for a bit while I reset him to his factory settings.
I suspect I’m going to have a giant cranky, hungry bear in my house for a few weeks.

SW 131.2

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

“Fit & Healthy” - persistent dedication to consciously improve my strength, stamina, agility & flexibility to “live younger than my years.”

R257 Commitments:
TOP THREE! Daily Focus:
⚖️, 🏋️‍♀️15 min. 📿 increase#

4/15 R256 EW 131.2lbs.

4/16 131.5 ✅ Solid day. Commitments = 💪🏻 HM& 📿
🎾 3hrs🚶‍♀️11k 🏋️‍♀️
NSV- Used positive choices & 📝 to get myself out of the dump. Looking forward to today.

4/17 130.4 ✅ I’ll take the unexpected ⬇️…
Yesterday:🏋️‍♀️15 min 📿350 jumps 🎾 2 hrs 20 min,🚶‍♀️11k , protein ✅ Solid day but woke up @ 3:55am. My sleep isn’t cooperating. Lost my temper HUGE yesterday over minuscule stuff. Here I am thinking I’m dealing well, but I’m not realizing how much it’s impacting me…
📝 30 min.
Up @ 4:25 this morn. 🎾again then prepping for work Thurs morn…. then off to State 🎾tournament - starts Friday 7:30AM. Food planned!! Will sleep better tonight.

NSV: I’m amazed at how often I’m checking my thoughts & changing them. Even though I lost my temper, I was quick to understand why and apologize. Drank more 💦 and went for a walk. 📿 rope. Ate only to fuel my body yesterday.

4/18 130.9
✅🎾🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️🤸🏼📿 macros
Solid day! Food=Fuel. Up to 450 jumps on the 📿. I think I can do more it’s just boring….
Today: Up @ 4:45. Work, then prepping for 🎾tournament tomorrow. Have been drinking+ 💦. Food for tournament is planned and no alcohol.

NSV: Clarification: when I write food = fuel, that means that food is a necessity- no fixation. I eat when hungry, and it’s somewhat mundane/boring. I’m that person that doesn’t mind eating the same thing three days in a row… ex: super dry chicken breast 🤩 Eating is simple. Little to no variety.

4/19 131.0 lbs - Up at 3AM 👀
STATE 🎾 TODAY!
Yesterday: worked most of day, prepped for leaving town. Food & 💦good. No other ✅. Full day of tennis today!

4/20🎾DNW. 💦💦💦Played two matches. Team lost both matches but 1-1 for me & my partner. So fun. We have two matches today… Then home tonight, because we are no longer in contention. Having a blast!
Ate high protein. Busted: two drinks last night! Tequila and lime juice - zero- low carb! Onward!

4/21 133.4 My body is totally discombobulated & heavy. Retaining fluids and no sleep plus over 20k steps per day both F & S… Once I catch up on my sleep and drink 💦💦💦 will feel better. Did not over eat and I stuck with my macros. When you truly pay attention to your body, you just know when it’s off kilter, right? Haven’t been this tired physically & emotionally in years. Huge build-up then let down for the 🎾tournament. All worth it… Athletic competition is so much fun… Will re-enter normalcy& routine soon. 😎

Guess what?! I ate a piece of cake yesterday! I think it’s been since Christmas that I had anything sweet. Oh gosh, it was so gross… I was so exhausted. I walked past this big grocery store sheet cake and said what the hell… Did I enjoy it? Not really. the sugar gave me a momentary rush… It was impulsive, so I’m not quite where I want to be yet… To just keep on walking … I’m telling you it’s just not worth it. I still have a headache.

Will be yucky all day today… Not sure how many steps I can get in, but I will stretch and 🏋️‍♀️.
Will finish strong this round.

4/22 ⚖️132.0 Couch potato ALL day. The day became gorgeous around 11AM, but still didn’t move off the couch… still wiped out… Playing tennis today to get my body / blood moving. Still dehydrated…. Slept better. (Till 4:45) Tomorrow is definitely my deadline for THE ✅checklist! More 💦💦💦 today.

4/23 ⚖️ 131.4 lbs slept till 6:10!!! Played 🎾 about 60 min … & still tired. Still bloated and dehydrated… STILL! One hr 💤nap. 🚫✅ I will do more today. Ate a steak, eggs & chicken breast. Lots of 💦. My body was wrecked. Get to see DGS so I know I’ll have a great day.
Sleep- It’s the sleep! Gosh, if I could just keep sleeping well. 9+ hrs vs 5 makes a huge difference!

I count macros & kcals - always will. (Since portion control is my issue). Keto is high-fat but I’m now leaner animal proteins with lower fat than Keto. I thought I was “KETOVORE” but I’ve been told I am “MAD”.

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 in 2015 …. Dairy? Hard cheese, HWC and butter - an occasional high protein Greek yogurt. Vegetables destroy my digestive system… I love vegetables, but when I splurge, I pay for it for several days… I do enjoy berries, lemons, limes. Avocados are my weakness. Enjoy a piece(s) of dark chocolate on occasion. Generally, I eat btw noon and 6 pm. (IF18/6). Alcohol? Used to be somewhat of a weekend 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 9th grade. 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 MANY different diets each decade!
1990 (Age 32) - Avg.130-140 lbs (my son was born 1988)
2000 (Age 42) -Avg 145 -160
Menopause - Age 50
2010 (Age 52) - HW 172 lbs 2014 (Age 56) 130lbs
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!

2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140lbs. 🎢🎢🎢 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.

4/23 184.2 Yesterday was really hard but I kept my health as a priority. My husband has some health issues that can and have been controlled by diet and exercise but he has been off the rails for months.
We had a wake up call yesterday that I’m hoping motivates him to turn this ship around. He stayed out of the hospital this time but I’ve spent my fair share of nights sleeping in a chair in the ICU.
I used a lot of kitten words yesterday.
I genuinely believe that we each have to make our own food decisions but he’s lost that right for a bit while I reset him to his factory settings.
I suspect I’m going to have a giant cranky, hungry bear in my house for a few weeks.

NSV: You’ve got a terrific attitude & I can feel your determination. 💪🏻 Your hubby will GET IT and be compelled to follow your lead. Set the tone. Perfect example of tough love. Pulling for you and your entire home!

4/23: still in sunny AZ, decided that if all of you are brave enough to get on the scale I would too. I need to learn to get on the scale when I'm pretty sure the number will be up, and it wasn't so bad! Wonderful walks, yoga, shopping and long BFF conversations. Tonight a favorite restaurant in town, then tomorrow home! Short visit, but very very sweet!

Have kept up my daily walks, but need to concentrate on nutrition. Trying to get in the 60's by my son's wedding at the end of April..
