@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 -
@roscoe1998 YAY wedding weekend! Two pounds is nothing.6

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.

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.

@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!! 🤗

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!

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
