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.

SW RND 258 133.5
4/26 134.5 I expected a higher bounce since I ate most of a loaded baked potato. I got grilled shrimp instead of the intended lobster and passed on the warm loaves of bread.
4/27 134.5 We went for BBQ at lunch but I wasn’t hungry so picked at my brisket. Ate my potato skin for dinner - added butter, cheese and sour cream. Quite a treat since I have always loved potato skin. Today is French toast breakfast at the clubhouse. I hope they have eggs and bacon, too.
4/28 133.5 I’m surprised since I ate the French toast. The only other thing I ate was a small piece of steak (left from Outback) and 7 boiled shrimp with homemade bang bang sauce.
4/29 134.5 Great Greek yesterday. What is it about that that always causes a bump up or is that from the load of carbs from French toast on Saturday? Side salad and steak. I made a coffee cake and took it to neighbors but didn’t eat even a crumb.
4/30 DNW up since 3AM
5/1 133.5 I felt as if I didn’t drink enough water yesterday. We went to El Pollo Loco for dinner- hadn’t been there in a long time. It is probably the healthiest fast food there is - grilled chicken, salad, broccoli but our meal included a churro, which of course, I ate. Why is it that I had awakened at 3AM and at 11PM I was not the least bit tired and hadn’t yawned at all?????6 -

4/26 - 204.4 Glad to be starting a new round. I fell off the wagon the last three days of the last round. Very frustrating when I was doing so well. It's amazing what can happen when you go back to those old habits. The end of the month of April will be in this round and I had a goal to achieve. I'm going to be focused on that and do the best I can. Well here's to a new start and a new day.
4/27
4/28 206.8
4/29 206.4 I’ve not been very good about staying in the calorie goal and I’ve had way too many snacks. I need to turn this around today and finish the month of April a little lower.
4/30 205.2. Well that loss definitely shows that when you do the things you are suppose to you lose weight. Trying to keep this going for more than one day. My goal for the end of April was 205 so I was only .2 lbs off so I am calling it a win. May begins tomorrow and I would like to lose 5 pounds for the month. I have a lot of traveling scheduled so I need to be disciplined.
5/1 205.8 Up some but that's okay. DD and I went for a walk around the lake this morning, not too long .68 miles. Something is better than nothing.

05/01 -185.4- (Trend weight182.3) I watched “Hack your Health The secrets of your gut” on Netflix last night. It was very interesting and did explain some things that I didn’t know. I’m glad I watched it. In the month of May I hope to lose at least 4 lbs which is my usual goal. However, it would be WONDERFUL if I could get back into the high 170’s I had accomplished before the foot injury last month. This is my birthday month and what a great gift to myself that would be, even if it takes until the end of the month to accomplish this. New month-New Opportunity, right? I’m pretty disappointed in my weight but feel stronger today and ready to face the music! Today marked halfway through this round. There is still time to put a dent in it.

Goal: no snacking after dinner, get calories in before 7pm
4/26 152.4 weighed but forgot to post
4/27 151.4
4/28 152.4 Ate out for breakfast, lunch and dinner, I’m guessing my meal last night has more sodium than a home cooked meal.
4/29 151.8 I ate after dinner last night, felt snackish and “deserving” of food. Will work on sitting with the feelings and letting them pass vs. just giving in.
4/30 DNW ate snack after dinner
5/1 151.8 No eating after dinner last night, victory, as I set out not to eat after dinner this 10 days and have missed it half the time so far. Moving forward!

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.

4/26 - 181.8
4/27 - 180.4
4/28 - 179.0 - I've been part of this challenge off and on (more on) since Dec 2020. I haven't posted since Sept 2023. I'm almost back to my heaviest weight. I can blame this on not being able to exercise due to some major health issues, but truthfully I think I just started eating more and more as self-comfort and some depression. I never think I'm going to "really" have any major health problems (most people feel this way, I believe). Because I've had two major issues over the past 2 years, I started losing my confidence that everything was going to be okay. However, I'm so much better now!! And ready to get healthy again!! It makes me nervous to talk about my health issues (it's like putting it out there in the universe is bad luck - I know, I'm weird), but later I hope to post a few comments as my experience might help others. I'm glad to be back posting, Everyone on here has always been so positive and supportive of each other💗
4/29 - 178.6
4/30 - 177.4 - Enjoying the initial downward trend while losing some water weight these first days mainly due to lower carbs and drinking a lot more water.
5/01 - 177.6 - It looks like I'm settling in on the 177s after the first initial weight drop from mostly water weight. I'm calorie cycyling where I eat around 1000 to 1600 calories each day, maintaining an average of about 1200-1300 for the week. The reason it helps me is I'm a binger and if I'm still hungry at the end of the day, it helps me to know if I eat more calories, they are "planned" and it keeps me from bingeing. I unfortunately am a little bit of a control freak where it's all or nothing, and when I would eat over my "alloted" calories for the day, I would feel like I blew it and binge, and was always starting over. I wonder when I'm my "normal" weight if I will still feel this way, or the fact that I'm not "dieting" will keep me from feeling like I have to eat everything in the house this once before starting over. So, this calorie cycying keeps me from getting in my head thinking I blew it (which of course if I was able to think reasonabley about it, I did not), and know that I have a plan for these days. What ever works, right? I'm a work in progress.

Love your calorie cycling idea to stay between 1200-1300 on average. Hugs from a fellow binge eater. I, too, am going to go back to calorie cycling for a better balance.
I'm a binge eater too, I'm going to give this a go, thanks for the idea @fmfdfa2020 & @Decfitby40 , I think I've also seen @deepwoodslady mention it in the past too. I've set up my spreadsheet to keep a record .4 -
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:
Goal/Current State
- Tracking/Under Calorie Budget 🍎- Ended round 257 very well
- Macros - hit Protein ✅ - Doing Well
- Water - 64oz minimum > trying hard for 80💧 Hit 80 a few times and rarely below 64oz

Dates = Weight ; Comments regarding prior day.
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🍎✅💧
4/30 218.4 ~ expected a little bit more but down is down. Drinking water like crazy and I'm tired of the view from the bathroom....but ya gotta do....4/4 macros 🍎✅💧🚶🏽

APRIL 1st SW: 198.2 | EW: 197.8
Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat ❎❎❎
Lost less than a pound, 1.25 inches combined on arms and legs | regained 0.2% body fat and 1/2 inch back on my belly. Starting dietary 200-400 calorie deficit and Intermittent Fasting 18-24 hrs. Breaking fast differently, including more protein, and continuing to look for new ways to increase step count and add more strength in May.
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.7 -
🎷 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.

@fmfdfa2020 bahaha Really I was “humble bragging” that I got to eat pizza and peanut butter cups and I didn’t gain 🤣.
Actually I did have a deep thought that I’m kind of mini binging the foods that are now “off limits” in my house because of DH health restrictions. I’m going to keep that thought floating around in my head.4 -

********************4/26 131.8 lbs
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 💦💦💦.
5/1. DNW. No sleep again. Up @ 3AM. Yesterday: Worked in the morning. Then 🎾for 2hrs. Didn’t start drinking water until mid-day. High protein. 🙆♀️🏋️♀️💦. 9k steps. 🎾 today. 🙆♀️🚶♀️🏋️♀️Haven’t been 📝 or reading. No sleep wreaking havoc.
5/2 133.0 🙆♀️🏋️♀️🎾
I don’t like this #. no sleep, high stress, edgy. Food not great but still fuel. Not enough protein. It’s been almost 2 weeks since I’ve gone on a structured LONG walk, so will this morning. Work the rest of the day. Hope to journal. In a holding pattern per se….. My “mood” is not where I want it. Need to food plan. My “5/1” first day of the month “kick-off” fell on its face. Today will be better.
133 is a wake-up call. Food hasn’t done this…. Stress, no walking, no sleep is the culprit. Seems like my body is holding on to 💩 (no pun intended)… my systems are on strike. Let’s see if I can jump start my system today. More 💦💦💦 and walk.
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.
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.

5/02 181.8 I am happy to be at this number but I am going to give it my all while I’m in my drop zone to get to my next level.
Because my next stop is frustration station where the scale doesn’t budge, followed by my weight wobble down where I fight for a pound. Then I’ll spike up 3-5 on my loop back to frustration station. Before reentering the drop zone where I do nothing differently but suddenly lose five pounds.
@SheilaBoneham I woke up an hour early to play in my own garden this morning before going to work gardening all day! I understand your joy for gardening. It’s my favorite thing in the world.12 -
@Skyleen75So I basically ate the dream meal of an eight year old spaced throughout the day. TERRIBLE!!!! I am the worst in my busy season especially if I’m not prepared. I’m surviving strictly on my activity level while not fueling my body correctly.
@fmfdfa2020I wonder when I'm my "normal" weight if I will still feel this way, or the fact that I'm not "dieting" will keep me from feeling like I have to eat everything in the house this once before starting over.
I can confirm for you, nothing changes- which is why I've yoyo'd a good 60 lbs back and forth for my entire life. It's not like I hit 125 and become one of those people who can "eat anything" and is "naturally thin". I am essentially a short, chunky Italian girl who LOVES food and gains weight REALLY fast.
I think sorting out our life stresses, food desires and needs, and balancing with what is delicious and fun are the hardest tasks we all face. The "dieting" word is tough because it suggests that my "thin self" has different desires than my "chubby self" - and I don't change! I still want to eat like an 8 year old. Go, Reese's peanut butter cups for dinner! For me it's a pint of Haagen Dazs washed down by tortilla chips.
I love this group because I feel like I found "my peeps". We're all here working hard, every day-so congratulations to you both, and everyone else here doing the work. I'll be around for a long time- I figured out that I haven't changed, even if my size has.
Some weeks are better than others- let's see what I'm saying in September :-)8 -
@SheilaBoneham and @Skyleen75
I’m a garden junkie too. This spring I’ve rebuilt my compost bin, planted more asparagus, put in potatoes and cauliflower besides the usual clean up of leaves it seems we have everywhere here in the US northeast. It’s never ending and never magazine perfect but fun to play in the dirt. 🥦8 -

/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. 😊
5/1: 222.4
/logged; exercised; drank 90 oz/
On the right side of the slope yesterday.
On another note, I am enjoying the birds in the backyard this week. The Baltimore Orioles are back. They are in our area for just a few days as they must migrate further north, so we set out some jelly and orange halves for them. So beautiful.
Also Rose Breasted Grosbeaks. Not sure if they are making their summer home here or just passing through.
And, the wrens are snooping around our houses, trying to decide about staying. Hope they do.
4/22: 221.plus
Starting weight on day before this round.
5/2: 223.2
/logged and under budget; 2 hours of active exercise; 99 oz water/
And that is why this scale reading is so bizarre. How could I gain almost a pound yesterday? I just looked at my food log and sodium was 3200+ mg. Hmmm.

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.9 -

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.

5/2-176-Off to Quilts of Honor where I layer quilts to get them ready to be quilted. I get one mile worth of steps when I’m there.5 -
@musicsax I don’t know what your cough is like but I had one (as did many other people) that lasted for MONTHS when we lived in Illinois. No prescription cough meds helped. I spent four months sleeping in my recliner because I started to cough if I was lying down. The doctor told me several months later that he and some other area doctors had been together discussing this as each had patients with the same condition. They decided we had had whooping cough!3

~ I increased my exercise goal to 1 hour daily but since then I’ve noticed my calorie burn has lowered. Sooo NOT the point I was trying to make! Lol but anyway.. I’m going to dust off my old polar heart rate monitor and start using it again, that should help keep my heart rate in the calorie burn zone the entire time I’m on the treadmill - Tue 04/30🟢168.8;-1.1lbs
~ Didn’t really log my food until the day was almost done. Husband started the keto diet with me. He’s being very strict about it, minus the very light beer he drinks every day after work(3-4)
Curious if anyone could give me and my husband advice on which vitamins to take and at what dosage to take them daily while we’re in the early stages of the keto diet? Thank you in advance!! 🤗
~ Krystal - Mon 04/29🟢169.9;+0lbs
~ Did great all day .. but after my big cardio day I felt the need to loosen my muscles and crank up the hot tub. Is it just me or is hot-tubbing an activity that you just can’t do without alcohol??

Its REALLY time to get serious!!

DH wanted fish and chips yesterday & we didn't feel like driving downtown to the Irish pub, so we went to Culver’s. I had a burger. I rarely eat beef—it doesn’t agree with me—but it sounded so good, and it was, but I’ve had an upset stomach since last night. My system pretty clearly does not want beef, which is fine with me. Next time I’ll stick with the salad!

I’m not weighing or tracking these days, but I feel very bloated and heavy. Also quite lazy. Spring fever? Possibly. I have some big garden jobs waiting for me when the rain and wind stop and I’m hoping being outdoors more will get me out of my funk. Today is very windy so I’m thinking some indoor clearing might be good for the soul. We really don’t have clutter, but there are things I could recycle and places that could stand a good cleaning. I don’t like doing it, but I like having it done! Enjoy your Saturday!
4/28 - DNW
I’m feeling less bloated today—I think I’ve flushed out the salt from Thursday’s splurge. I managed to get out in the garden a little yesterday, but it was not very pleasant because of the wind. Today is calmer, but so I’ll pull a few weeds before my afternoon knitfest with a friend. Wishing you all a lovely day.

Well, my experiment in not tracking is a bust. I weighed myself this morning after a couple of weeks of not weighing or tracking food and I’ve gained. I actually have trouble wrapping my head around how quickly I gain how much. Anyway, I’m back to tracking and plan to weigh in again (and report) the end of the round, after a few days of paying attention. Sigh.
5/01 - DNW
Happy May Day! 💐💐💐 Flower day for me—I bought some yesterday, planting today, going out for more today or tomorrow! Also working on the weed and invasive grass situation, which is annoying but is also exercise! I think the soil we had put in these beds was full of weed and grass seed as I have never had a problem on this scale. Anyway, it does get me out there working, which is where I’m headed now. Have a lovely!

Not much to report. See you tomorrow! 🤪

I was diagnosed with whooping cough about 15 years ago—every year I’d get that never ending winter cough. I had been getting tetanus shots regularly, but tetanus only. Switched to the DTAP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, aka whooping cough) and I haven’t had that horrible cough since.5
