Hi, I'm Charissa, back for another round. I will keep coming back and I will get this thing right, sooner or later. Hopefully sooner!
Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024!
So here we go 2024... my motto -
🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
H2O - Make it Flow 💦💦💦
Note to Self: Alcohol kills weight loss as the focus is burning alcohol calories and not fat calories!
Good progress towards the end of round 257. Sometimes I just get in a funk and get tired of all that needs to be done. I don't stop but it's not 100% effort either. Feeling good at the start of this round so here we go!
Within the next 2 rounds - I want to see 213. It's possible in this round but it will be tough but, who knows....
Goals this round:

4/26 217.8 Always a bump as the round starts. But that's ok. It was all about the salt. I guess it's better here than at the end!🙂 This was a particularly frustrating work week and we were super busy last week so I'm ready for a nice relaxing, do nothing (except my Sat work out) weekend!! 3/4 macros ✅💧🚶🏽
4/27 216 that bump was short lived!! Sweet... Now, just get past the weekend. 4/4 macros🍎✅💧🚶🏽
4/28 DNW - Weekend and sure it went up. 4/4 macros🍎✅💧🚶🏽
4/29 218.6 ~ Need some good days in a row!!! I did really well with water this weekend. I bought a new cup that holds 50 ounces (it's heavy when full) but I only have to fill it twice~ it also has a clear top so I can see my water level. I was looking for a clear one that would keep the water cold so I guess this is the next best thing! Two days straight at 90 ounces!! Did not sleep well last night though. 3/4 macros🍎✅💧

04/28 --DNW I thought I would be home from out-of-town yesterday in late afternoon but I ended up traveling a little further to see two of my DGC (a new acronym @quiltingjaine?) a little further south. I ended up eating out at restaurants for both lunch and dinner. I can feel the swollen fingers and ankles today. We picked up our new glasses and did some shopping. It’s nice to have clearer vision. I am on track so far today and look forward to nearly a whole week before my next travels. I’m on track so far today and look forward to a whole week before my next travels. BTW, I have no idea why my weight ticker has blown up so incredibly big! I could not easily see a way to make it smaller as I saw no numbers (indication size) to change. I’ll continue to investigate. If anyone has the quick answer I would love if you could share. In the meantime, I’m sorry to all for the “in your face” graphics.
04/29 —DNW I went to look at another investment property today so I’m posting late. I ended up stopping at a bar with my son so we could get his favorite (Pizza). He wanted me to “pay him back” for being my GPS tracker. I would like to weigh in tomorrow since it’s the last day of the month but we’ll have to see if this incredible bloat goes away. I still think that I may have a bit of lactose intolerance in my old age. That cheese on the pizza has not done me any favors this evening.

Totally missed the last round! Out of town without access to scale or much needed stress relief (gym and hiking trails), caved to carb and sugar comfort to cope. Regrettably have regained all the weight lost earlier this month and realizing I set myself up (AGAIN!) to lose and gain and relose the same 5lbs, I'm so annoyed with myself! But back home and back to baby stepping it, with a new plan and the reminder First Day of Summer is only 52 days away. No time for slacking.
APRIL 1st SW: 198.2 | EW: 000.0
Since starting ...January 1st - April 1st, I've lost 17 pounds and a total of 20.8 inches from 11 areas. 🥳 Thrilled to see my hard work reversing prediabetes and years of physical damage. Getting leaner and stronger and chair dancing proud of myself about it!! 57 and hormonal, it's taken longer than expected and a much rougher road than my youth.
Reaching onederland (March 13th) meant the end of 10+ years and up to 80 pounds!! gained and relost too many times to count. Determined not to self-sabotage ... have to ask: now what? Weight was my focus so long, I need a new target!! If I should lose an additional 8% body fat to reach the "standard" for my age, height and sex ~ and up to 15% to reach excellent ~ that's @ least another 8-15 months of work before I can begin to relax and think maintenance.
I've been eating @ a 200-400 calorie deficit (90-95% of the time) and Intermittent Fasting 18-22 hrs (75-85%). It's worked well, so trying to take it up a notch by lowering carbs, changing eating window to earlier in the day, breaking fast differently, and continuing to look for new ways to increase step count and add more strength in April.9 -
Thank you, @quiltingjaine !
74 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.

💦👟🏋️♀️ten more days to a lighter me! Last round found me going the wrong direction. I felt tired and hungry most of the time. I need to get control of whatever is going on and turn this train around. Pushing the water, holding off on after dinner snacks, keeping up the 10,000 plus steps and adding in some ST. Here’s to a smaller number at the end of this round!

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 258 (my 188th). So grateful @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round; to lose! To be consistent and lose something; to get back into the 130s! Strive to have a feeding frenzy free 😊. 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.

4/30 182.0 I’m fighting to “level up (down)” to my next decade. I want to hear that Mario brothers music in my head when I step on the scale.
It’s interesting because I can see and feel the difference from the last 75 days. I’m happy with my progress but I am having some feelings of “not enough” or more like “how did I let my weight get so high that it’s going to take months and months to get back to the number I want”?
Just a negative mental loop I need to break.13 -

4/27 - 124.4 - I want to cry! I'm so embarrassed to post this!! Very humbling. I ate more the last few days than in a long time. Probably not even over 1500 but I know my metabolism is really slow.. plus not drinking as much water. Ugh
4/28 - 124.2 - really hard seeing numbers I haven't seen in a month. I don't know if it's hormones or what... Sigh.
4/29 - 123 - Surprised because I went to cracker barrel and figured I might as well get what I want because this week is a bust.. but that was about all I had so? Also I got transferred to a pharmacy that is walking distance from my house so that will give me approx. 30 min walking on days that I work. So although the numbers are higher I am still hoping to reach my GW this round.
4/30 - 124 - got my hormone shot I get every 3 months yesterday... And had a piece of chocolate cake. Cutting out candy and diet sodas caused me to lose 5lbs really fast in March. The past few days I've had more sugar (candy and sweet foods) and I can tell I'm craving it more. Definitely need to chill out on the sugar and then I'll probably see a loss. Some people notice weight gain with the shot but I never really have. I don't think the gain has to do with that. Just need to increase water and cut out excess sugar again.

It’s interesting because I can see and feel the difference from the last 75 days. I’m happy with my progress but I am having some feelings of “not enough” or more like “how did I let my weight get so high that it’s going to take months and months to get back to the number I want”?
Just a negative mental loop I need to break.
I get this. It never feels like enough no matter what weight I am at 🫠 very hard to celebrate wins and if I gain it's hard not to let it ruin my day even though I know weight cycles and that it's more important how my clothes fit/what the measuring tape says. Maybe try taking measurements (bust, waist, hips, butt, thigh) and check them again in a few weeks or a month. 🤷🏻♀️ I usually only check once Month. Since March I've lost 2 inches in all areas but have lost less than 5-8lbs depending on the day.10 -

/Nope, walked, parched myself/ Tip toeing back into the group after a week of AWOL. I have not posted since 4/22. Our little mini trip turned into an excuse to pay zero attention to my goals for last round, and to neglect the beginning of this round. No scale available, but that should never matter. I like the non-scale-victories better anyway.
Hopping off the sugar train starting today.
4/30: 223.0
/logged; exercised; 66 oz water/
Ugh. But the sugar train left the station without me yesterday and other “metrics” were in proper order.
MFP tells me that if every day were like yesterday I would weigh 207.4 lbs in five weeks. I know every day is not alike; in fact it would be impossible. For example, today I have pizza for lunch with friends, so it may take me longer than five weeks to reach 207.4. 😊

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.12 -
@itladyee and @quiltingjaine : Thank you for the good wishes! Yes, I tested at home and it was positive; I had a low grade fever, extreme runny nose, mild cough and lots of sneezing. The symptoms are almost completely gone already, so it was mild for me- another day of rest and I should be good as new.
I'm sleeping in our Guest Rm so that my DP doesn't get more exposed- so far he hasn't gotten it, nor did my daughter and her family. Just my 82 YO and post-op sister, who could least afford it. I hope she recovers quickly and can get back to rehabbing her knee, she was doing so wel l:-( Please say prayers for her!9 -

TBH surprised @⚖️. Thought I’d be real 130s. Yes, only a pound but it’s about knowing myself. At this juncture, I should be able to nail it with certainty. I didn’t sleep well last night (Woke up at 4 AM this morning) which is probably the reason.
I’ve been hitting 10k+ steps at least 6x per week. Did not yesterday… Worked most of the day and played tennis last night. I have been doing really well with protein… Tonight - girls night out, so planning it out. Gotta figure out this sleep thing… It’s holding me back from my best self…
Today: 🙆♀️🏋️♀️📿🎾.
NSV: Feeling comfortable & positive. Practicing staying in the moment.
4/27. DNW. Busy, busy, busy with life yesterday. Good protein. 🙆♀️🎾🚶♀️10k. BUT, didn’t stop to take care of me for this round. 🚫✅. Today, will journal and reset. Just give me NINE days! 😎
Up at 3am. Simply not going to be healthy with these sleep patterns.
4/28 133.0 Yep. i’m still discombobulated. Not returning to routine is not helpful. Still not sleeping. Up at 4am. Clothes are looser than ever but so darn puffy. It’s not what I’m eating…. My cortisol must be high, stress, dehydration, retaining fluids. I’ll check in tomorrow. Will search & capture some positivity. Focus on 💦💦💦.
4/29 132.0. Fluctuations from no sleep, stress. 🏋️♀️for 20 min.
🚫✅. I fear IBS is back. It’s been years…. Rough day with those old familiar pains. ☔️ today. Will be sure to 💦💦💦. Hoping for a much better day.
Since I’m not feeling well, may just hit this hard Wed 5/1. Not an excuse to delay, just some grace. IBS hurts like hell. However, there will be stretches when I feel great so I will fit some “FIT” in…. Certainly don’t want to give in….. Let’s GO!💪🏻
4/30 132.0 slept till 6am with a little help from an Ibuprofen p.m.
Let’s see how today unfolds …?yesterday 🏋️♀️ 20 min and 💦💦💦. Try for same plus 💦💦💦.
WOE & Health Journey
****************************
WOE since 7/2023: MAD: (Mostly Animal Diet) 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 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.

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.
