I’ll work on R263 habits sometime today. I find comical on the Refo scale that when I weigh 132 or over, I age one year. Magically tomorrow, I’ll be 61 again…. 😎🤣. (I’m actually closer to 66!) And, with that one magical pound, BF% increased one whole percentage point. I’ve concluded the only measure for me to sincerely pay attention to is TREND… TRENDS for All “measures” not just weight.
I cannot emphasize this enough, but consistency with everything is key… EVERYTHING! Not only food but timing, sleep, water and daily workouts/exercise … All processes… every nuance impacts all “smart” scale results. I’ll be glad when I’m back on routine. BTW, sleep patterns are still sporadic.(Maybe my new “pattern” is sporadic!) Not sure what more I can do but will not fret over it. Will live my best life today!! Forecast is heavy rain all week so I’ll work on a “rainy week” schedule too! Good luck all!
PS Made an Inbody scan appointment for next Friday…
#HSF Let’s go! 😎💪🏻8 -
Hello! Perfect timing to get back into MFP. I have done these before (years ago) & loved them!! Fighting the menopausal middle & losing so I am glad to be back 🙂

House guests left yesterday. I am full of it. This scale reading will come down soon.
I had a really good Father’s Day. At one point yesterday we had four generations in one room. My dad the oldest in a nursing home. My two Grandkids the youngest. I must have had a dust particle in my eye when I read my cards. 😊

Comments pertain to previous day
SW RND 263 133.0
6/15 134.0 Upcoming birthday for friend at Golden Corral on Monday doesn’t thrill me especially after anticipated Father’s Day lunch of pizza on Sunday. Just shoot me now! On the plus side - water fitness M, W, F and gym T, Th, F. I’m not doing a lot but anything is better than nothing.
6/16 133.5 Day off from “working out” Even though I’m pleased with myself for getting back to doing activities, I am so mad at myself for letting myself become the ultimate couch potato for the last several years. Once I sat down for COVID closures, I never really got up. I know there are lots of others who did this too. Don’t get me wrong, I have always tended towards being a slug and it was too easy to fall back into that. So I’m depressed about that and losing Oskar has compounded my “depression.”
6/17 133.5 Amazed I didn’t go up. Had pizza for Father’s Day lunch - 3 slices. Later I had 7 shrimp left from the other night. Tonight Golden Corral for friend’s birthday.8 -

3. Log my food
4. Goal weight 209
6/15 215.4
6/16 215.6 I’m not happy with this. I know my activity wasn’t as high the last couple of days and I haven’t been drinking water like I should. I’m struggling to believe that small changes like water intake can have such an effect on weight. I’m going to be better about my water and just keep at it. Trying hard not to let the weight gain get me down. I know it’s not a lot, but it feels like when I get excited that I’m doing the right thing to lose weight, the scale goes back up. Time to push past the negative thoughts and keep working. It’s a lifestyle change, which means there will be fluctuations.
6/17 211.4 I know this is 100% water weight, but I’m going to enjoy it for now. I expect the number to fluctuate some more, but if this is the push I need to reach my round goal, I’ll take it.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/14 …..183.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
06/15 -182.8- (Trend weight 184.4)
06/16 -184.4- (Trend weight 184.5) Yesterday was a double whammy. First a graduation (food-filled) open house for my best friends granddaughter (sitting, sitting, sitting), then we traveled out of town to go to the movies to see Inside out 2, Disney Pixar, {Sitting, sitting, sitting again}. I did not eat dinner out of town as I was still stuffed from the lunchtime open house. I also skipped all food and drinks (except water) at the movie theater. However, by last night I was hungry again and over did it. Too much food overall for the day, not enough water, and way too much sitting did me in for sure. Today is a family BBQ for Fathers Day so it won’t likely get any better. I may skip weighing tomorrow and give myself a day to let it realistically settle. We’ll see.
06/17 -187.0- (Trend weight 184.7) Whoa Nelly! I guess the multiple social events and travel has finally caught up with me! Today’s plan….. very low carb and low calorie day using the lowest numbers on my zig-zag plan (1050 calories). Since there was no TMI today I will load up on drinking water which should be easy since it will be 92 degrees today. I don’t have A/C so I will have to be very careful about exercise outside or inside. I will see how that goes this evening. I am hopeful I will shed some water weight and see where I actually land and where the real work begins. Feeling capable and strong right now as I drink my late morning coffee. I hope my resolve sticks around and lasts through the evening. I have many snack monsters to fight each night so I will spend the day sharpening my swords and preparing for the battle! If I want to show a loss for this round and type in pink, I’ve really got to make every possible day better but that is so easy to type and so hard to do! Forward and March Soldier!

6/15 331.6 - 4216 steps
Great to be back and thanks again for still being here! I try not to complain about the many changes that the new owners (now old owners actually) of MFP have made, but how I miss the old MFP sometimes. But just like everything else we have to take the good with the bad and focus on the good and move on. There are not too many things free anymore... So, I am getting over MFP getting rid of newsfeeds Nothing stands stills and changes are going to continue in all avenues of life. Have a great weekend everyone! :
6/16 329.6 – 2749 steps
6/17 329.6 – 6983 steps
Yesterday I had friends over for dinner and it was very nice. I did not do too bad eating. I burned over 4100 calories working and cooking so I burned enough to maintain for extra calories I ate. I only splurged on leftover pound cake I should have sent it home but I kept it. It is one of my favorites. I cut the rest up and put it in the freezer. It was only 3 pcs left. I hope everyone had a great weekend.
@Chapter_3 – Thanks so much for that article on sabotage!! It was a great reminder.

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.

Day. Weight. Comments.
6/15 - 197.2
DH and I have been watching Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones on Netflix, and of course the commonalities of communities where more people live longer are plant-based, low-junk diets, lots of physical activity in the course of daily life, and a few other things. I’m working on upping my veggies and reducing processed carbs (read pasta), but I think I’m going to have to press harder. At 89 in July, thin DH doesn’t feel any pressing need to change his diet, but at 71 and fat, I know I can’t eat the way he does (he doesn’t eat junk, but is a huge fan of pasta). We can’t always eat different dinners, but my new strategy is to have extra veggies. I’m hoping this series will nudge him to more me-friendly meals. I’ve also been doing so much work in my garden that I haven’t been walking as planned. I need to get back to walking, for many reasons.
6/16 - 197.4
I had a little pig out last night for some reason. I’m trying to get some walking in but it’s turning very hot and I’m prone to “heat sickness.” I’m thinking of going to Menards to walk, since they have ac and miles of aisles. 😊
6/17 - 197.2
The heat has arrived. Other than watering my plants, I’m not spending much daytime outdoors. Maybe I can sneak in a walk this evening.

House guests left yesterday. I am full of it. This scale reading will come down soon.
I had a really good Father’s Day. At one point yesterday we had four generations in one room. My dad the oldest in a nursing home. My two Grandkids the youngest. I must have had a dust particle in my eye when I read my cards. 😊

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.
I love u shared your special Father’s Day with us. Four generations under one roof. You are blessed big-time!7 -
@quiltingjaine
I just caught up reading a little. I’m sorry you’re feeling blue, really blue. I receive from your postings that you are a strong, STRONG woman…. That blue will fade soon and you’ll be back even stronger than before! I know it! 🤗 sending a warm hug!7 -
Hi, I'm Charissa, back for another round. I will keep coming back and I will get this thing right, sooner or later.
Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024! I am looking forward to a successful round!
So here we go 2024... my motto(s) - All the things I need to read daily!!!
🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
H2O - Make it Flow 💦💦💦
Lose weight in the kitchen ⚖️, get fit in the gym🏋🏾♀️
Note to Self: Alcohol kills weight loss as the focus is burning alcohol calories and not fat calories!
Goals this round:
- Closing my rings M-S🚶🏽
Taking a little bit of a break in round 263 and 264 from tracking and possibly even weighing.
I'm days from my walk through and closing and exactly two week from my move into my new home.
I'm just a bit preoccupied!

6/17 220.6 - Decided yesterday to ditch the protein drinks, at least for a while, and "eat" food. I think non mushy food is more satisfying. I had protein oats, strawberries and 1/2 a banana for breakfast. (Also putting IF on hold too. I listened to something this weekend about high stress levels (corisol) and IF not being a good combo. Of course more research is needed). I made a roast beef wrap with lettuce, onion and a bit of cheese.

@IsMollyReallyHungry
~ Welcome back. I don't think I was here when you were originally but glad to "meet" you. You have been through quite a bit and kudos to you for taking care of you!
@xxxTiaxxx ~ Welcome
@Chapter_3 ~ Trinity Bay looks amazing! I Like the way you think regarding trends on the scale. I have that scale too and it currently says I'm 70. I saw someone else with MUCH better stats than I have, and they were also listed at 70!
@barfarkle ~ Welcome!
@_JeffreyD_ ~ Look out for those "dust particles". How sweet that you were able to share that day with four family generations!
@quiltingjaine ~ don't ignore your feelings. When we ignore them, we get lost and lose way too much time not doing the right things. Take some time to really feel them and grieve for your loss of Oskar and then get back on track. As you've told us...you're still showing up here every day! You've got this!

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 263 (my 193rd). So grateful @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round;
• to stay under 140 pounds,
• no feeding frenzies
• to lose!
I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.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.

6/14 139.2 – (trend 140) 9.87 miles walked, 70% exercise calories eaten back. Pleased with this number, sort of knew Wednesday’s number was not really going to be. 2.4 pounds lost this round, happy with that, also very happy that I completed this round without a single binge 😊, only one day when I went over exercise calories, that just confirms what I already know, consistency is the answer.
SW RND 263
6/15 138.2 – (trend 139.8) there’s that lovely number again making an entrance to start the round. 8.31 miles walked, just under 70% exercise calories eaten back.
6/16 139.6 – (trend 139.8) 6.06 miles walked, ate out with family as an early birthday celebration for DH last night, looked at the menu in advance & selected healthily with non-alcoholic cider, oh and there was birthday cake, eat lightly beforehand, but still 500 calories over. Travel up to Liverpool today, staying overnight, eating in the hotel, but packed a healthy lunch.
6/17. DNW - 9.94 miles walked, best guesstimate 200 calories over yesterday. Tickets booked for The Beatles Story this morning.
6/18. 140.4 - (trend 139.8) urgh, results of 2 days eating out! That's one goal missed, never mind back home now with no more events this round and all home prepared for ahead, it's more promising to get back. 7.15 miles, 75% exercise calories eaten back .

5/18- 173.8 The heatwave in the North East has begun. Not much of an appetite and a short work day allowed for my ideal eating schedule.
Hoping to take advantage of this for this round, goal is to stay under 175. I can still feel my groin twinge so I’m keeping my exercise reasonable.
The idea of getting into the 160’s for July is my motivation.9 -

House guests left yesterday. I am full of it. This scale reading will come down soon.
I had a really good Father’s Day. At one point yesterday we had four generations in one room. My dad the oldest in a nursing home. My two Grandkids the youngest. I must have had a dust particle in my eye when I read my cards. 😊
Welcome to the newcomers.

General sense of depression around the casa yesterday. Not the clinical kind, more like the situational kind.
[*] Made a decision to cancel a trip in July. We travel with two other couples , we call it the six-pack. One of the guys needs emergency heart surgery. :-(
[*] DW has the same head cold I just got over. It puts you in a bad mood. Walking on Eggshells. :-)
[*] Today I meet with a consultant to help me navigate the public aid labyrinth for my parents. :-/
All the above are basically first world problems. So I am actually grateful.

R263 Habits:
** new ✅R263- WOE:P:E
Protein g > Cg + Fg. Try 1.5:1 or better 2:1. Was on Keto/Ketovore/MAD for a very long time. Moving toward increased protein and less fat.
✅🏋️♀️20 min/ day or 30 min 4x per week. RECORD DETAIL.
✅ 🙏📝 🧐60 min 5x /week (Pray, journal, and research)
✅🥩115g -130g of protein
✅🛏️💤 tracking sleep
NSVs/Journey Reflections…. 👇🏻
********************************
👇🏻Review since my first R231
1. ✅Avg. close to 10k steps per day for 8+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a “daily goal” because it’s now a daily healthy habit - 👏🏻🤩
2. ✅Healthy Habit: 🙆♀️ I stretch daily and that has greatly improved my attitude & confidence.
3. ✅HH: I play 🎾about 4-5x per week.
4. ✅HH: Z2 💕avg 60 min/day
5. ✅HH: zero to 10g of net carbs/ day
6. ✅Clean P:E 115-130g Protein (this is new)
7. ✅HH Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM.
8. ✅💦80oz daily
9. ✅Alcohol limited to rare occasions.
10. 7 to 8 hours sleep per night is a goal. Sleep is still inconsistent the last few rounds…
Tremendous progress since last July, but still “skinny-fat”. I want 🏋️♀️to become a healthy habit too. … 🏋️♀️20 min per day or 30 min 3-4x per week. Continue to journal📝 and to strive to ID unhelpful habits & replace with helpful ones.
Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.
In my dreams, I want to be 130lbs with a HARD body… 😎 But let’s face it, this could be unattainable and/or unsustainable, but I’ll give it my best … It’s a 🥕! I don’t know how long it will take. Also, rotating 115g to 130g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable.
Let’s do R263!!🙌🏻

Summer Challenge (June 15 thru Sept 22): I'll start with a realistic goal of 14 pounds and go from there.

Round 263
June 15 - 176.4 - Yikes, that's 1.6 pounds heavier than my last round weight. Good news is I can play a mind game with myself when the first couple of pounds for my Summer Challenge come off really fast. I blame this on eating too much watermelon last night, and also not sleeping enough. I find that I try to eat my way to having energy when it's just that I'm tired. Sometime, I'll be hungry and just take a short nap and wake up feeling so much better and no longer hungry (again, this only works some of the time ).
June 16 - 175.0 - That's Better. Yesterday's weight was water weight and not sleeping. This will be my starting weight for losing 14 pounds this summer!
June 17- DNW
June 18 - 174.8
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

2. Close my rings
3. Log my food
4. Goal weight 209
6/15 215.4
6/16 215.6 I’m not happy with this. I know my activity wasn’t as high the last couple of days and I haven’t been drinking water like I should. I’m struggling to believe that small changes like water intake can have such an effect on weight. I’m going to be better about my water and just keep at it. Trying hard not to let the weight gain get me down. I know it’s not a lot, but it feels like when I get excited that I’m doing the right thing to lose weight, the scale goes back up. Time to push past the negative thoughts and keep working. It’s a lifestyle change, which means there will be fluctuations.
6/17 211.4 I know this is 100% water weight, but I’m going to enjoy it for now. I expect the number to fluctuate some more, but if this is the push I need to reach my round goal, I’ll take it.
6/18 214 A little more fluctuation than I’d hoped for, but I ate a lot yesterday and I ate dinner late, so all in all I’m good.
