RND 258: I aim to keep up my goal of staying within my calorie goal, and daily exercise for this whole round. The next 2 rounds will be a challenge since I'll be traveling.4/26 170.0 My weight is a little up from yesterday. Feeling a little blah and like my body is holding water. Could be the meal I had yesterday evening. Planning to drink a lot of water today. I have been slacking on vegetables lately so I need to start working those more into my meals too.5/2 169.5 Glad its coming back down 😃.
4/27 170.0 Weighed this morning but didn't get around to posting. Will update more in the morning
4/28 170.6 Busy day yesterday so I didn't drink enough water. Stayed in my goals but there was cake and ice cream last night.
4/29 169.5 Ate light yesterday but still snuck in a half piece of cake 😆. Thankfully the cake is almost gone lol... I'm not getting enough sleep. The past couple of days I've just been exhausted. Really think it's a mixture of not sleeping much and the way I've eaten lately. Although I'm still meeting my goals, we have eaten out a lot lately. I think that definitely plays a part in the way I feel too.
4/30 170.6 The scale has been all over the place lately when I weigh myself, and it's fairly new. I try to go with the weight that I get 2 or 3 the same. Might have to get another set. I have another one that is newer also but it's not digital.
5/1 170.2 Good day yesterday. Finished out April with meeting my goals and exercising each day. Trying to not get discouraged with the slow process. I think a lot of things are contributing to that (not enough sleep, out to eat too often, etc...). Hoping I can finish this round out with a loss.
5/3 168.2 The whoosh I was looking for ❤️. I'm now at a 30lb loss since October last year. Seems slow but from what I've heard, slow is better. I still want to lose another 18 lbs.
5/4 168.9 Salty popcorn at bedtime last night. Put me over a few hundred on calories. Lots of water today!
5/5 168.4 Happy with the loss this round (-1.6 lbs), although to be honest, the first half I was getting a little discouraged. It's important for me to keep pushing through though because its definitely so much easier to gain than lose. I now have to buy new bathing suits. The only one I kept from last year is too big. I've been trying to keep the shopping to minimum right now until I get to where I want to be. Not a bad problem to have though 🙂. See y'all next round!

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.

Let the battle begin!!!![/quote]
When I started Keto/LCHF I told my DH that I was getting rid of ALL OF THE PASTA. I’m not sure he was listening but he said okay. I gave 19 pounds of dried pasta to a friend who had a teenage son. 19#!!!! Thank you Sam’s club!Back at the gym yesterday 1st time post-covid.
I went back when they reopened but masks were still required, NO ONE but I was wearing one. I’m feeling more motivated since I got my new Garmin. Maybe I can do it.

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!
4/27 - DNW
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.
4/29 - DNW
4/30 - 😳
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!
5/02 - DNW
Not much to report. See you tomorrow! 🤪
5/03 - DNW
Rain rain rain! But I got a couple of big garden tasks done yesterday and I’m hoping to clean up another bed between showers this morning. It might be too wet and mucky. DH wants Chinese food today, so we’re going out for late lunch/early dinner. I’m sticking with stir fried veggies & chicken. Who’s a good girl?
5/04 - DNW
We went for Chinese yesterday as planned but I had Kung Pao chicken, so a bit more than just stir fry. It was excellent, though, so although I’m slightly up this morning on the scale and was very thirsty last night, I’m sure some of that is water/salt.
It is what it is.
5/05 - 197
Clearly my no tracking experiment was a disaster. This morning a photo popped up in my FB memories of me about 50 pounds lighter 7 years ago. After that I lost another 20 pounds. So I’ve regained almost 70 pounds, most of it since 2020, and an embarrassing amount in the past year, something I swore I wouldn’t do. I won’t pretend I haven’t eaten more than I should, but I will say that the weight piles on and, in the spurts when I have watched my calories closely, comes off exceedingly slowly. But enough excuses. The photo reminds me how much better I looked and felt with so much less weight to haul around. So my #1 priority going forward, starting today, is to get the weight back off. I’m going to spend some time looking at old food logs to remind myself what worked before, and I’m putting my walking shows on to get back to walking 5-6 miles most days, which I did religiously until we moved here in 2018. I got sick then, could barely move for almost a year, and never got back to it. I was also put on a very strict elimination diet for several months in 2018-19, and I blame that diet for messing up my metabolism. Anyway, this has to stop, and it stops now. Thanks for letting me spew without judgment (or at least thanks for keeping judgments to yourselves!). Next round is my new start.

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 awokened at 3AM and at 11PM I was not the least bit tired and hadn’t yawned at all?????
5/2 134.5 🤷♀️🤷♀️ Maybe the rumbling deep in my belly?? Going to help DD inventory the school library today. Different scenery but not a great deal of movement.

Round 258
April 26 - May 5, 2024
62 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126
Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.
History:Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a DGS, and second GS on the way. We have two parents, 87(mother), 85(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse (father has since passed and I am DPOA, Personal representative AKA executor, trustee, and oversee the majority of my mother’s care). A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment
4/26 – renpho 126.6 Made it to my MIL. Today is a repack day. Still not back to proper tracking, but I will be thought during my travels.
4/27 – renpho 126.2 Tracked perfectly yesterday and made good choices dining out last night. Hit my numbers. Online now for about 3 minutes to make my post. I have 45 minutes to do breakfast, deal with the cats and get settled into the car. We drive 820 miles today and stay overnight in Virginia.
4/28 – renpho 125.6 not sure how but grateful. Hopefully home scale will agree tomorrow morning. Calories tracked, but solidly over.
4/29 – 126.0 Home! Down around three or four pounds since the New Year, and my creep up. Glad I stopped it when I did. That’s an improvement for me as my life history shows repeat swings of 25 or 30 lbs. While I am in the range I have stated I want, this number is the max, so I would like to clean a little off so that my “bumps” still remain in range.
4/30 – 128.2 Yep, went off the deep end yesterday. Scale is confirming lots of salt, carbs and quantity.
5/1 – 128.6 Disappointing. I did track thoroughly and closed the day with good number. BUT, I had pasta for dinner. For whatever reason, I have observed over the years that have a gain the day after a meal of pasta. This and my 4/29 bender will sort out over the next days as long as I stay on track.
5/2 – 127.8
5/3 – DNW I drank coffee before remembering the scale
5/4 – 127.2 slowly moving back down despite poor choices all week. I need to stop accepting my excuses to make bad choices. In part, I know I need to get back to what I used to do, same breakfast every morning, with small predictable selection of lunches, then variation at dinner.
5/5 – 127.0 Closed the circle on the round. No net damaged which I am grateful for.

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!

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 🍎✅💧🚶🏽
5/1 218.0 ~ Over on calories yesterday but good enough for a loss! 3/4 macros ✅💧🚶🏽
5/2 218 ~ Here we go.

🙏🏾 thanks so much @SheilaBoneham ~ and we have the same pants! so comfy, right? cheers to smaller sizes! let's get 'em
Appreciate that! @Chapter_3 @itladyee
LOL, thanks @Skyleen75 Been lasered on that waist! Still am, lol ... and good luck with hubby. Hopefully you can convince him how important it is to work on your health goals together. It's a contract after all lol ~ when two are combined and all that ... plus it feels good sharing with those who will immediately use and appreciate rather than hoard things. Especially in excess. Not judging just generally speaking!
@Sweetzyd yessss Crystal! Excited to be smaller, but not shopping so much .... @ least not until a solid 12/13. @ 16 MOST of the past 10+ years, I do have some "one of these days" size 14's I'll hopefully fit comfortably in by the end of the month. But would ❤️ to be back at a 12 for the summer. Waiting until June before splurging!
@judefit1 you know that's right! Looking forward to saying bye-bye for good!
wasn't going to until I was further along @musicsax ~ but glad I did! so many kind words are really rebuilding my confidence and helping me see I've come further than I realized. Thanks so much!

JAN 1st WAIST 36.9 ~ HIPS 47.0 ~ BF 40.6% ~ BMI 31.5

May 4: 10 of the 20 inches lost was off my belly! No pics, no proof, lol ~ I love/hate taking photos because they've become one of my best tools. You can't lie and you can't hide. Putting myself on blast 1) creates incentive to increase effort and 2) highlights new areas to focus on. Still have a looooooooonnnng way before reaching my ultimate goals, but its nice to see muscle memory is real! At a size 15, I haven't been this small in more than 10 years.
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. Yo-yoing is the main reason for so much body fat!!! Determined not to continue to self-sabotage ... 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% more to reach excellent ~ that's @ least another 8-15 months of work before I can begin to relax and think maintenance.6 -

5/05 182.0 good thing I didn’t let yesterdays blip get to me. It’s going to be a chilly rainy day here in the Hudson Valley. I plan to take full advantage by catching up on housework and paperwork.
I’m wildly optimistic with the amount I plan to accomplish but I’ve learned right here that it’s ok to set big goals and just try!!!
Big one is cleaning out the pantry. DH gets weird about throwing away (donating unopened) food. I expect resistance about getting rid of pasta, rice and high sugar or fat items. Things I don’t eat and he CAN NOT eat. Keeping them would mean his new diet is temporary. It can’t be temporary.
I know that DH isn’t going to be perfect on his new diet but going off plan should be absolutely delicious not just a weak moment where he grabbed something stupid from the pantry.
This man also spends money on anything he wants all the time so it’s weird when he gets hung up on a $3 box of pasta…
Let the battle begin!!!!
This post is not meant as a gloat or boast, but more meant as an inspiration /motivation for your DH. My DH visited the GP at the end of January when both his hands swelled up enormously for no apparent reason. GP was convinced it was rheumatoid arthritis, but cuz he missed his age 60 full health check in the height of the pandemic, he decided to do that then. The results were a shock, yes the swelling was the said arthritis which was by then starting to come down, but he had very high blood pressure & cholesterol i.e. the bad cholesterol. He immediately advised him to radically change his diet, low salt, no red meat, caffeine, alcohol, no saturated fat, reduce sugar& carbs and a 3 month course of 40mg statins.
He is a very slim, fit 63 year old, an arborist which is a very physical job, climbing trees, carrying heavy timber, not smoked for 40 years and only consumed approx. 5-6 units of alcohol a week, but he did eat lots of biscuits, cakes & chocolate, never put any weight on and it gave him energy. It was a shock! But he is an all or nothing guy, so we radically changed his diet, I no longer buy any food which is not low saturated fat, salt, processed sugar or carbs. I can't deny it has been difficult to satisfy his appetite & keep his energy levels up, more than doubled his protein; chicken, fish, turkey, even more veg & fruit than he was eating before and buying alternate products within the amber & green traffic light system. He started using MFP to record his food, weighed and measured everything to ensure his saturated fat was less than 10g & salt 1500 mg per day. Tried various non alcoholic beers which he didn't like, but he does like non alcoholic prosecco, so just has a couple of glasses of those over a weekend.
Blood pressure was down to normal after a month, Dr. wanted his bad cholesterol down to 1.8, it's now 1, so he is of the statins & 'indulging' in one small treat 3 or 4 times per week. He has not lost actual weight on the scales, but the little bit of fat he had has been shaved off, so he's lost inches.
I wish I could be as disciplined as he, when with him I eat the same, but a lot smaller portions, if I'm out with family or friends, or even on my own I indulge!!! I need to take inspiration& motivation from him too! He says he wants to enjoy his retirement when it comes in 2 years time!! And his grandkids 😁 that's what has given him the inspiration, and he never says he can't have something, he always says he prefers not too!!
Sorry this post is so long, but I didn't feel I could leave anything out !5 -

05/04 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW ) Up very early and out the door asap for the long trip to daughter’s college graduation. We had a dinner afterward at a restaurant in the city. Just getting home now around 10 PM. I’ll probably skip weighing tomorrow after so much food and sitting today but I’ll be back at it on Monday at regular wake-up time. It was a lovely day filled with pride!
05/05 -DNW- (Trend weightDNW)I’ll use my weight tomorrow as my ending weight for this round and my starting weight for the next. The college graduation ceremony for my oldest daughter Bethany (almost 41 yrs old) was so inspiring. Afterward we had a dinner at her favorite Mexican restaurant in the college town. On the way home I stopped at a casino we passed by to let my (autistic) son have that experience. He really loved it and even though we both lost during the 5 hours there, he did better than me and lost less. I’ll post some pics tomorrow when I have more time. See you all in the next “opportunity”.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

May Goals: Lose 6-8 lbs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat
Posted this in my feed yesterday, and now sharing with you guys too. 10 of the 20 inches lost was off my belly! No pics, no proof, lol ~ I love/hate taking photos because they've become one of my best tools. You can't lie and you can't hide. Putting myself on blast 1) creates incentive to increase effort and 2) highlights new areas to focus on. Still have a looooooooonnnng way before reaching ultimate goals, but its nice to see muscle memory is real! At a size 15, I haven't been this small is more than 10 years.
Since starting January 1st ...MAY Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat
JAN 1st WAIST 36.9 ~ HIPS 47.0 ~ BF 40.6% ~ BMI 31.5
FEB 1st WAIST 35.1 ~ HIPS 45.8 ~ BF 38.5% ~ BMI 30.1
MAR 1st WAIST 35.1 ~ HIPS 45.0 ~ BF 37.5% ~ BMI 29.5
APR 1st WAIST 33.5 ~ HIPS 43.0 ~ BF 37.3% ~ BMI 29.4
MAY 1st WAIST 34.0 ~ HIPS 43.0 ~ BF 37.5% ~ BMI 29.5
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.
@reshii_devi Wow!! - you have made tremedous progress!! You look amazing! Thanks for posting the pictures and also the details of how you've done it and the postive affects it's had on your health. Very inspiring, too! I never measure - going to do it now and take before pictures
