Renpho scale reference
@deepwoodslady @chapter_3
This person is 154 and still has a metabolic age of 69. So apparently it takes a LOT to move the needle. This is good to know for me to not become discouraged waiting on that number to change!
@itladyee @deepwoodslady @Chapter_3 So the scale can tell all of this about you by simply touching the bottom of your feet???? Or are there other entered data points?
Do you remember that old joke about a thermos?! HOW DO IT KNOW?!
I will look it up today, (see below) but I think it’s just based on the sweet touch of your feet and formulas/ logarithms… “Uses Bioelectric Impedance Analysis technology” … Age, weight, height, sex…. That’s why I’m getting an Inbody scan next Friday and will compare it to my Renpho. I mostly pay attention to the trends… also, you can click on each measure to see the “range”. I’m working on BF% and BMR.

Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this going! I love the start of a new round!!

Summer Challenge (June 15 thru Sept 22): I'll start with a realistic goal of 14 pounds and go from there.
Start Date: June 16 / Start Weight: 175.0
14 Pounds to Go / 13 Pounds to Go / 12 Pounds to Go / 11 Pounds to Go / 10 Pounds to Go / 9 Pounds to Go / 8 Pounds to Go / 7 Pounds to Go / 6 Pounds to Go / 5 Pounds to Go / 4 Pounds to Go / 3 Pounds to Go / 2 Pounds to Go / 1 Pound to Go
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
June 17- DNW - Too much popcorn last night. Nope, I don't care to see the water weight this morning. I never eat past 7pm but last night for some unknown reason I decided to have popcorn at 9pm. Ugh!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Same goals for this round:
1. Drink at least 90 oz of water a day
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.

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.
6/18 135.0 I had a pity party after “emergency” dentist visit and ate all not LCHF at GC. If I get my act together today it should be gone soon.
6/19 134.5 Eating yesterday was good. Getting a haircut today.

@deepwoodslady @_JeffreyD_
@chapter_3 ~ thanks for sharing your stats. Looking really good!! I will be very curious to see how your inbody scan matches up.
@quiltingjaine ~ that's good to know as well that your DD age showed lower, so there's hope. I just now know not to get too excited when it's not changing quickly.5 -
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!!!

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.

End-of-2024 Goals—weight 170, walking 5 miles most days.
Day. Weight. Comments.

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.
6/18 - DNW
My schedule got discombobulated with workmen here at 7:40 (they told us “after 8”) so I didn’t weigh this morning. That’s ok. I ate responsibly yesterday and plan to do the same today.
6/19 - 196.6
I did a big thing yesterday…As some of you know, I’m a writer (21 books and hundreds of articles and essays), but I haven’t written much in the past few years due to a combo of factors. I have had a stack of manuscripts in various stages of incompleteness sitting on my desk, taunting me whenever I’m in that room, and calling me names even when I’m not. I will likely never touch those projects again—they’re stale and my interests have shifted. So I tossed the lot in the recycle bin. They’re still on my computer, but I’m considering a deletion binge. When—if—I get back to writing, I need to start fresh. And weirdly, I can’t help feeling that hanging onto old, stale writing projects was linked to hanging onto weight. We’ll see. I can’t tell you how hard it was to make that decision and how liberating once it was done. I feel like something new has opened. Now to find it!

6/19: Incredibly frustrated. It’s been a busy few days helping our DD and SIL move into their first home. I’ve not over eaten. Have been having GI issues, constipation. Feeling that pressure from the first of the year dreams of being to goal weight by my birthday (July) and knowing I’ve just moved back and forth on the scale several pounds. I’d love some encouragement from those who have seen weight come off consistently. What did you do to move the scale in a downwards trend? Thanks!

@deepwoodslady @chapter_3
This person is 154 and still has a metabolic age of 69. So apparently it takes a LOT to move the needle. This is good to know for me to not become discouraged waiting on that number to change!
@itladyee I follow her on a couple of my challenges and I did notice that hers is also high. What a disturbing number that is for me but, like you, I'm going to stop worrying about it. It should be better by the time I reach goal and I guess that is all that matters.2 -

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! :

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.
6/18 328.0 – 5071 steps
It is very warm in Chicagoland area! 96+ with a heat index even higher.
6/19 328.0 – 5287 steps
Went for a short walk last night after dark. It was breezy and nice. I can’t walk in this heat. I overate last night but happy to see I maintained. The foods I ate were clean but still way over on calories. I will plan better tonight. I have to go to Costco. I may walk in there before I do my shopping. Stay cool Everyone!

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.3 -

06/15 -182.8- (Trend weight 184.4)
06/16 -184.4- (Trend weight 184.5)
06/17 -187.0- (Trend weight 184.7)
06/18 -186.4- (Trend weight 184.9) I didn’t go as low in calorie as I had wanted for a redemption day, but I did stay within my normal median calorie “diet” level so there was a bit of a drop today. I did not get in the water that I’d promised myself either. Exercise was non-existent due to the heat. I did do some light yard work late in the evening and little housework in the afternoon but not enough to pat myself on the back about. Today is a long hairdresser appt so there will be a lot of sitting. Another hot one expected but the salon should have A/C so it will be better than being at home sweating with just a mediocre fan! Have a nice Tuesday everyone!
06/19 -186.2- (Trend weight185.0) I went to the hairdressers yesterday to have my roots just across the top foiled a bit with some blending color. I have been in the process of seeing how I would look with some natural grays so the foils are only to blend with my bottom half and make it look a bit better in the process. My head is losing so much hair (balding even) that the salon refused to put any chemicals or dye onto it this time. From here on out, cuts only. No dye, no perms, no matter how small. My dermatologist specialist I’m being sent to can’t see me until October but it is a well-respected doctor working for University of Michigan. It will be nice to find out what is going on. I was bald once during my chemo treatments years ago. I don’t want to deal with that again. Is this weight loss induced? My cancer medication (or another medication)? Hormone related? Vitamin deficiency? Protein deficiency? Needless to say I’ve tried everything on my own. I can’t take much more loss, especially in the shower. So my 3 hour appointment was more like 20 minutes. I ended up heading out of town for some diet snacks I was running low on. I didn’t get home until 8 pm after shopping. Dinner was out (Mexican) so I’m glad I still had a small loss. Hopefully no surprises on the scale tomorrow.

@deepwoodslady
There are a few of us Silver Sisters that post here. Welcome to the club! It’s so freeing and looks Bada$$ imho.5 -
@Garbagegang - I so empathize with your frustration.
I recommend a couple of things for you to consider, I am not a coach but these things work for me.
Figure out your why first if you haven’t. What is driving you to feel and look your best? Knowing this will help you through the hard times to not give up.
Water - lots and lots of water. Track it if you’re not.
Besides doing cardio - build muscle. This means resistance training of some sort which many say is more beneficial than cardio. This will not only build muscle but transforms your body and boosts metabolism.
Try not to focus on the weight number but use measurements or the way clothes fit to see progress. Feeling good in your own body is the goal, not the number on the scale.
Lastly if you can afford it, consider getting a coach to help you.
Best of luck in your journey. We are all here rooting for you. 🤛💕5 -

6/16 - 62.2kg/137lbs - look, I'm not off to a good start but that's okay. I'm feeling optimistic and it will be better next week. Just looking for some motivation. I'm sure I'll find it tomorrow
6/17 - 62kg/136lbs - I started the week off really motivated but I didn't move as much as I'd like too. It's so cold BUT!! I did manage to play my Switch Fitness Game. So, it's something!
6/18 - 61.5kgs/135.5lbs - Finally got into gear to move. Took the dog for a walk despite it being 1 degree (he enjoyed it). Didn't have a have a heavy dinner. Quinoa, chickpea salad with fetta, spinach, cucumber and a few veggie patties. I used a mint greek yogurt as a dressing. I also did a second day of Switch and managed to get my boyfriend included which was great. I've also re-started fasting. So, hoping that helps.
6/19 - 61.4kgs/135.3 - Still sticking to the Switch to move but I did didn't spend too much time today. Was so tired by 6pm but I managed to get on for 10 minutes. Put that with walking the dog and I was at least moving for about 30 minutes today and thats from WFH. Dinner was brown rice and mild Thai red curry. I'm working in the office tomorrow so that will help me with my step.

🎷 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, uh 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 .
6/19 139.6 – (trend 139.8) – And back down! 7.83 miles walked, less than 30% of exercise calories eaten back.
6/20 140 (trend 139.8) – drove 2 hours each way toattend little DGD’s school sports day & communal picnic followed by watching youngest at her swimming lesson. No structured walking hence calories over.

Let’s Go! 💪🏻🙌🏻⚡️
R263 Habits:
** new ✅R263- WOE: P:E
Protein g > (Cg + Fg). Try 1.5:1 or better 2:1. Was on Keto/Ketovore/MAD. 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 15g 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.
Rotating 115g to 130g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable. In my dreams, I want to be 130lbs #HSF … 😎 I want to be Healthy, Strong & Fit to live out “Chapter 3” enjoying a full range of mobility, flexibility & activities… !
Let’s do R263!!🙌🏻

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.
6/18: 222.4
/logged; exercised; 88 oz water/
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.
6/19: 220.0
/logged; some exercise; 82 oz water/
Scale damage from our house guest / reunion weekend almost “repaired.” Just imagine where I would be if I were disciplined.
Going to the retina specialist today. When I went to the eye doctor a few weeks ago to check on my new “floater” (I named the floater Nemo) he found something on my retina needing further examination. Thus today’s visit.
I need to be more proactive about my health. When I see how broken down my parents are, I think it is a combination of their genes and their unhealthy choices. I can’t do anything about my gene pool, but I can make better choices. Like, at least paying attention ten days at a time.
6/14: 220.0
SW on day before this round.
6/20: 220.8
/logged; not much exercise; 80 oz water/
Woke way to early today. Hail damaged roof being replaced yesterday and today. Must. Resist. Desire. To. Micro. Manage! That works best if I just leave the property.

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.5 -

I recommend a couple of things for you to consider, I am not a coach but these things work for me.
Figure out your why first if you haven’t. What is driving you to feel and look your best? Knowing this will help you through the hard times to not give up.
Water - lots and lots of water. Track it if you’re not.
Besides doing cardio - build muscle. This means resistance training of some sort which many say is more beneficial than cardio. This will not only build muscle but transforms your body and boosts metabolism.
Try not to focus on the weight number but use measurements or the way clothes fit to see progress. Feeling good in your own body is the goal, not the number on the scale.
Lastly if you can afford it, consider getting a coach to help you.
Best of luck in your journey. We are all here rooting for you. 🤛💕

This is GREAT insight. 💯! I actually opted to not weigh some mornings (Opting instead to weigh every three days or so after I got a good nights sleep) because it was so disappointing/discouraging based on the amount of effort & energy I was expending… I started paying attention to NSV’s to help me along the way…. I also started journaling which has helped me more than I can say…. We are all in your corner pulling for you!
EDIT: I also got rid of all “bad” food… If my DH wants some treats, I ask him to hide it from me… If anything, anything is tempting in your fridge or pantry, just get rid of it…. TBH, This also applies to families… Eating healthy should be a priority for everyone in your home…. I’ve learned the hard way…. Yes, sounds rigid but it works! ❤️

You absolutely did a BIG thing! HUGE! Purging is wonderful for the soul! Personally, I think purging the hardcopy was a great exercise, and quite freeing… May I suggest holding on to your computer files? When I retired, I never thought I would go back to work – ever! I purged all my professional clothes & 35 years of files (hard-copy). This past year I got a call for some consulting work… I was so glad I kept my digital files… saved me hours & hours! I also think that only you know what is best… I think you’re going through healthy examination and moving forward clutter free! Onward!4 -
@Garbagegang6/19: Incredibly frustrated. It’s been a busy few days helping our DD and SIL move into their first home. I’ve not over eaten. Have been having GI issues, constipation. Feeling that pressure from the first of the year dreams of being to goal weight by my birthday (July) and knowing I’ve just moved back and forth on the scale several pounds. I’d love some encouragement from those who have seen weight come off consistently. What did you do to move the scale in a downwards trend? Thanks!
It is highly frustrating when the weight doesn't go down, and all of us have been in that pattern at some point, sometimes for long stretches. It's also hard to know what works for someone else! Both @jspecies11 @Chapter_3 have great insights, they're super experienced!
For me, I started to look at the scale as a gauge of what I was eating the day before instead of a judgment on my calorie intake. I started noting what foods (and how much) seemed to kick the weight up the next day compared to the days I was seeing success- high sodium and heavy on fats seem to do damage for me, but everyone is different, and everyone's journeys vary. Also, I keep coming here because it's a great group who want you to succeed, and the posts truly help me7
