07/12 -DNW- (Trend weightDNW) No weigh Friday today as usual. However, I can feel the gain. Foodie daughter is here for the weekend again Thursday until Sunday evening about 7 pm with DGS which I will babysit. I made them dinner last night of “normal food” (not in my personal plan) which I also ate. She brought in her tote bags (yes, plural) full of sharing-snacks which I clearly did not have to eat, but did eat (some). I stayed away from all the sweet drinks. Skipped the wine and just watched her sip on hers. But I did eat a few things I should not have eaten. I can feel the bloat. Not enough water yesterday and no TMI x 2 so it is all adding up to disaster. I still need to string along a few good days to feel really back on track but clearly it won’t be while she’s here. I will aim for a better day today. Am I a serial starter? Hmmm.

07/13 -189.0- (Trend weight188.4)Two more days to go with DD and DGS here. If I make it out alive it will be a miracle. I’m talking about the totes of food she carries with her. How she can be a size Triple Zero I’ll never know. After her father’s side for sure.

07/14 -xxxxx- (Trend weightxxxxx)

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 265 (my 195th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
• to stay under 139 pounds,
• to lose!

I was shocked to read back that my very first round in JGM10Ds, I was 10 pounds lighter in March 2019 !!!
I need to get my finger out & in the words of the song "Get Back to Where you Once Belonged" !!!!!!
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.
End of round 69 134.2 lbs 22.2.18 to 03.03.19

SW RND 265

7/5 139.2 (trend 139.3) 6.83 miles walked; less than 30% exercise calories eaten back. Ankle/leg still slowly improving, swelling slowly going down, it is making me reduce miles walked at the mo. as it makes it known when it’s has had enough!!
7/6 139.2 (trend 139.3) 6.84 miles walked, pizza night, first for many months! 91 calories over. Picked up our new motorbike yesterday afternoon after DH finished work 😊.
7/7 139.2 – (trend 139.3) 8.84 miles walked, 60% exercise calories eaten back.
7/8 139.2 – (trend 139.3) 9.54 miles walked, less than a third of exercise calories eaten back. Must be due for a drop soon.

7/9 140.6 – (trend 139.5) urgh, don’t ask!! At least the trend is down, got to find a positive!! 8.54 miles walked, way over on calories ☹. Halfway through the round, 5 days to make a difference.
7/10 141.4 – (trend 139.7) rain all day yesterday meant that no structured walking either before or after lunch with DSs ; hence calories way over.
7/11 140.4 – (trend 139.8) 9.77 miles walked, 80% of exercise calories eaten back. Tomorrow will be my last weigh in this round as we head off for a weekend in the caravan tomorrow, need to really make today count!
7/12 139.8 – (trend 139.8) 7.44 miles walked; no exercise calories eaten back. Glad to be back under 140, now to stay under that and lose something to start the next round.
7/13 DNW - 9 miles walked, less than 50% exercise calories eaten back.
7/14 DNW - 8.91 miles walked, less than 50% of exercise calories eaten back. Failed to meet any of my goals this round, must try harder next.

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!! 👍👍

I got the major part of my porch demo done now it’s going to be hours of my life removing all of the staples the previous owner used “winterizing” with plastic sheets. I don’t think that will be a big calorie burner!
I’m happy to see that I did trend down this round and while right now my progress is slow, it is still progress.
Today is the 5k mud run obstacle course. Yay!!

Hi everyone! I’m 34 years old and 164 cm (5’ 4,5”). I have a very sedentary life, since I am a PhD researcher. I work mostly from home. I’ve been overweight since I was 18 and since then I’ve gained more and more. In the last 1,5 years I have been between 103-105 kg (227-231 lbs). My ultimate goal weight is 70 kg (154 lbs), but firstly I want to go below 103 kg which I stuck for 1,5 years. Then I hope go below 100 kg (220 lbs) to two digits which is a psychological boundary.

I started on 20 June, it’s still early days so being consistent is very important throughout this challenge. I aim to take 1600 calories a day and reach my macro goals. I am not crazy strict, but I don’t wanna be too loose and off the track either.

SW: 105 kg (20 June)
UGW: 70 kg

RND 264 SW: 104.4 kg
RND 264 EW: 103.6 kg

RND 265 SW: 103.1 kg
RND 265 GW: 102 kg

7/05 - 103.1 kg
I am so happy to see this!!! I didn’t see this number for more than a year! I cannot wait for 102s! Yesterday I ate too much carbs and fat however the calorie amount was fine.
7/06 - 102.8 kg
I can’t believe this! In the last year, many times I have tried to lose weight but after a few weeks I have stuck in 103s. I have never managed to reach 102s for more than a year! I am so happy it works this time! Yesterday I ate less than my calorie goal. My macros are a bit off but more protein and less carbs then usual so I take it.
7/07 - 102.4 kg
Interesting… The number is still decreasing. It’s nice to see though. I just need to be careful about my water intake, I think I didn’t drink enough yesterday. Other than that, I ate all my calories, macros weren’t too bad. I am doing all right.
7/08 - 102.4 kg
Yesterday I ate less than my calorie goal, my macros were fine, and walked over 9000 steps. I am happy that my weight still didn’t increase. I was kinda expecting after this sudden decrease.
7/09 - 102.3 kg
Yesterday I ate less than my calorie goal, my macros were not too bad, at least low carbs. I walked almost 5000 steps. I cannot wait to reach my mini goal 102 kg.
7/10 - 102.5 kg
Yesterday I ate a little bit over my calorie goal, and my macros are a bit off because of fat. But it shouldn’t be a big problem, I was still in calorie deficit by about 400 calories. It’s normal to have these ups and downs. I just hope that I won’t stuck at 102.3-102.5 since it’s 4th day.
7/11 - 102.6 kg
Yeah, I am stuck here. It started to be demotivating. I hope it changes soon. I will be on my period in a few days, maybe it’s related? I don’t know…
7/11 - 102.3 kg
This is better… Yesterday I drank a pint of beer and ate half portion of pizza (Neapolitan style not full of fat). I was still in calorie deficit. And it’s been a while since I drank and ate pizza. I am happy I did that. Especially I will be taking antibiotics for 2 weeks starting today. No drinks for me for the next 2 weeks…
7/13 - 102.8 kg
I am not sure what is going on. I feel bloated though. I started using antibiotics yesterday maybe it is related or I will be on my period these days maybe it’s because of that. On the other hand in the last week I ate more fat than previous weeks, but I was still in calorie deficit. I hope I will see 101s soon.
7/14 - 102.8 kg
Yesterday I ate lower than my calorie goal and walked 7000 steps, I don’t know what to do about it anymore. I just hope it will continue to decrease again.

I’m a serial dieter/gainer whose weight has varied by 50 lbs over the years; I’m working to change my relationship with food. I joined this group in 12/23 at 147, lost 22 lbs and reached my goal in 4/24. I’m now working to understand my patterns so I know where my pitfalls are. My goal is to remain within the same 3-4 lb range for good!
The goal is to return to my routine of eating healthfully, weighing every day and working out consistently with a varied routine.

* back to the gym and regular routine
* no mindless snacking of empty calories/ wine only when out
* weigh every day

7/13: Uh oh. So this is the heaviest I've been since June 2. Last couple of days were intense with no time for exercise and I've been off program. Funny that I didn't gain eating in "fancy" restaurants on vacation but take-out at home did it. Time to get serious.

RND 265 Goal--Since it's hot as blue blazes most every day, I want to focus on getting in some indoor exercise (more than just yoga) when it's too hot to walk this round.

7/5 171.6 Headed to the mountains today with Dad.
7/6 DNW Too many carbs, but that’s what Dad will eat, so I’m trying to do the best I can.
7/7 DNW Lots of steps but messed up my knee and I’ve been icing it.
7/8 171.2 Pretty pleased with this considering the homemade ice cream and other things that were out of my norm this weekend. The carb load could show up in the next day or two, I know.
7/9 171.6 Got back in line in what I’m eating. But in spite of the heat, I’ve been walking. It’s just almost bedtime before it’s cool enough to do it!
7/10 170.6 Continued better eating and got in another late walk.
7/11 170.2
7/12 170.8
7/13 169.6. WooHoo. Hope I can come back from Florida and still be in this decade, but it’ll be hard. Good to see it today, though. Provides some motivation! Travel to Florida. Scale will be different (gotta buy batteries when I get there.)
7/14 170.4 Different scales, but this is not too different. See you in the next round!

Round 265 Posts
This is my posting format….

Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed.
/ Logged Food - yesterday; Exercise – yesterday; water - yesterday / Comment

Previous posts:

7/5: 221.4
/logged; exercised; 85 oz water/
Thus begins a fresh start.

7/6: 221.8
/logged it all; exercised; 70 oz water/
Feeling a molecule of motivation. I will try to grow it. Starting with guarding of what I will call poison food from getting near my pie hole. Easier said than done. The guards can’t be trusted.

7/7: 219.2
/logged; exercised; 80 oz water/
I ate really well yesterday. Very low carbs for me. chapter_3 my P:E ratio was 1.13! I snacked on grilled chicken breast, which really filled me up. I precooked a few and they are waiting in the fridge.

I took a long walk. 4.5 miles, which is like child’s play for you musicsax . I don’t know how you do it.

Here we have two examples of how we help each other.

But, today I am going to a Chinese buffet with my family to celebrate my Birthday, then all heading over to the nursing home to include my dad in the dessert phase. This could involve a few carbs.

7/8: 221.0
/logged; exercised; 66 oz water/
While I was over on calories, I think the real culprit yesterday was SALT. (without enough water) In fact, this morning I still feel salty, whatever that means.

Interesting thing I found while logging. It’s almost impossible, no, it IS impossible to properly log a Chinese buffet. You have no idea what the content of that sauce is. So I took some wild guesses and logged a cup of something called Shrimp Teriyaki. This food had 3000+ grams of fat! I switched it out pretty fast. This had to be a typo either on my quantity or their data.

P:E ratio back down with the mortals.

7/9: 221.0
/logged; exercised; 90 oz water/
Yesterday was a day of highs and lows. Mostly highs. This is my last day to be 66 years old. I have already had two Birthday celebrations. Ha!

7/10: 219.4
/logged; exercised; 80 oz water/
I really can’t explain this drop from yesterday. I did exceed my standard protein intake, but nothing to brag about. Exercise was minimal. I guess the scale just gave me a birthday gift.

I was sitting here typing before the rooster got up and I saw a good friend sneak by the front window to put a birthday treat and card on my front porch! She is known for her sweet treats. Goodbye P:E ratio.

7/11: 219.6
/logged; no exercise; 80 oz water/
I can’t believe the scale didn’t spike! It will catch up tomorrow. Day full of eating shenanigans yesterday. Amazing accomplishment of fat grams and carb grams eaten. Back to some semblance of discipline today.

Thank you all for the Birthday Greetings. I will stop talking about my birthday now. 😊

7/12: 219.2
/logged; exercised; 80 oz water/
Another good walk yesterday. I need to do it every day. Grilled up another batch of chicken breasts for snacks and for incorporation into daily meals. The neighbors probably wonder why I had the grill stoked up at 7:00 am.

7/13: 218.0
/logged; exercised; 90 oz water/
This reading makes NO sense to me. How could it drop after the way I treated my self yesterday. Yes, I had good exercise and lots of water, but the food details are a horror show. Except, the food was fairly “clean,” i.e. not processed. I will bet the scale gets its revenge tomorrow.

7/4: 220.8
SW on day before this round.

7/14: 218.2
/logged; exercised; 80 oz water/
I don’t really understand how the last couple days have been so low, but I will take it. It helped me break 220 for my ten-day average. Can I keep it going?

Praying for our country and for Trump and his family and families of those hurt at the political rally yesterday. Makes me heart-sick.

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.

Round 265
July 5 – 14, 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 two grandsons. 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

7/5 – 135.6 Did not properly track yesterday, BUT I did accomplish going out for a 30 minute walk. Not much, but I need to reestablish healthy habit that had gone by the wayside. On another note, I have 4 round available to me before a friend’s wedding. Had I not gotten off track, that would not be an issue. I also need to break my relationship with Ben, Jerry and Haagen Das.

7/6 – 135.0 Can’t remember if I actually put up my post yesterday. Did not track, but ate a little better. Today, I intend to track the whole day and get out for a walk. Any walk!

7/7 – DNW

7/8 – 135.6

7/9 – 135.8

7/10 – 135.8

7/11 – 135.8

7/12 – 134.0 Ok, so a whole day (untracked) but without some binge. On the 10th, I had a pretty perfect day until 9 pm, and then I won’t even discuss what I managed to find.

7/13 – 133.6

7/14 – 134.8 Went out to eat last night. Made reasonable selection, but likely still too much. Down for the .4 for the round. At least it is not an up.

(I think I only posted twice for the round)

Missing you all, and frustrated with myself!

Hope to be here tomorrow morning! That will be telling.

@SModa61 It's no secret that I have been doing pretty bad lately. I don't really understand it. Sometimes I'm really strong and successful and at other times I feel like a blubbering fool. I am QUITE sure that I would be doing even worse right now if not for this group. It's not about being accountable to anyone here, it's about the opportunity to face myself and my own challenges and to be accountable to myself. That is the Very Reason the challenge is here for us. I hope you will be able to rejoin soon. You've so much to give and we all learn from the mountain tops but from the valleys also. I look forward to "seeing" you amongst us again. You are very missed!

@deepwoodslady You are so lovely. I am sorry that you are having struggles. Indeed this group makes such a difference, which is part of why I am kicking myself for not properly engaging in it. I know what I should do. I know what I want to do. But clearing I don't want it enough to overcome whatever is keeping me from following through. I will be joining the next round and we'll see if I can do one full thoughtful round. Once I do one, then two is easier.

UGW - 115

7/5 - 124- Starting greater then last round- in a bad way... Darn these long holidays- I know deep down I am bloated- went out to Mexican food Wednesday. My son is in town this weekend, celebrated my birthday he missed yesterday...continuating the eating bad today, took him out to dinner. EEEkkkksss! I will be lucky this round to get back to 124. I still have parties to go to Saturday and Sunday!!!! Played some great pickleball this morning spent all afternoon with my son cleaning out his room in hopes the house sale goes thru. Stress is getting to me even though I keep praying to God I am handing it over, another FAIL. Hope you are all doing better than me!

7/6 121.8- Funny how that bloat just leaves...plays with your mind, convinces you "You can never lose weight!" I know I went out to dinner Wednesday, I knew i would get bloated and yet still felt so defeated until surprisingly elated this morning. Spent yesterday cleaning out the storage area of my basement. Wow so much junk. Playing pickleball this morning, and party this afternoon. Will get myself bak to tracking and weighing then.

7/7 121.6- Unbelievable, must just be thankful!. Played pickleball and went to a party yesterday with lots of great food and I indulged .It is now over the long weekend of no tracking. Serious time. So tracking and weighing my food, no more alcohol on weekdays...

7/8 121.4- Weighing, tracking and weighing my food (I do need to do better job here) works for me. Kind of like watching the ball playing pickleball, why would I not do it when I have so much success when I do the things that work. Did the Les Mills Body Pump work out last night, so sore, but I need to make a commitment to doing weights several times a week. Have Pickleball tonight so will have a nice cardio workout.

7/9 123.0- I don't know!?! 🤷‍♀️Played over 2 hours of steamy, sweaty pickleball, drank a great amount of water, had to get up last night at 3 in the morning to fill my water bottle and guzzle it down. Does sweating that much make you bloated ? I ate back all my almost all my exercise calories but did not go over. 🤷‍♀️ Was I dehydrated and now overcompensating... Just puzzling. I actually weighed the ingredients for my lunch and tracked, will focus on that again today.

7/10 122.2- Did weights last night-Yeah! i am always so happy with myself after I complete yet I need to push myself to start. I use to go to classes and meet friends, but you would think the convenience of doing at home make easy to do but I have so much inertia- this resting body does not want to begin moving. I am highly suspicious the 123 is bloat from weekend eating spree- going out to dinner and the party Sunday. Weighed most of my food and tracked yesterday. hope to weigh all today.

7/11 ? Too much work to figure out where error is...

7/12 122-Not sure what day I missed, just realizing today is the 12th...and 7/10 was not yesterday, so there is an oops somewhere 🤷‍♀️. Seems this 10 day challenge - which appears to be a 9 day challenge for me will be all about undoing the decadence of last weekend. I did get up more than 2 1/2 hours early this morning and I have found that not weighing at the same time can distort the numbers. But still waiting for homebuyers to make up their mind. My realtor said they have until Saturday. Do not feel good about this going thru, but did not have house up for sale in first place. Played pickleball last night not as hot and steamy as Tuesday but still very sweaty.

7/13 120- WOW... did not see this coming! Weighing and tracking really make the difference. The home sale went through late last night, I conceded very little and I think their realtor finally understood I was fine not selling but her client wanted to buy. Leaving for Austin tomorrow for work, and now also to find a place to stay. Then a mad month of moving...I still feel i am on that hot stove.

7/14 !!!119!!!! WOW did not see this coming either- Was honestly scared to weigh myself this morning. My son and I almost finished cleaning out the storage area of basement yesterday 2 1/2 dressers left and a Christmas tree- I decided halfway in to set my apple watch to other exercise. It was so hot and humid and the outside stairs to the garage are steep so we really got our exercise in. So sore this morning. Only got emotional in the end making the decision to keep one box of ornaments and stockings. Leave for Austin tonight...will be able to weigh myself but not my food, and was just getting back in the habit of weighing and tracking everything.

July 7 - DNW - Traveling - My goal for the rest of this round is to drink lots of water while traveling and weigh the same or less when I get back.
July 8 - DNW - Traveling
July 9 - DNW - Traveling
July 10 - DNW - Traveling
July 11 - DNW - Traveling (not a vacation)
July 12 - 173.6 - I can't stress enough how happy I am with my weight this morning!!! I always gain weight when I'm on the road. Even though I take lots of healthy food with me, I get tired, and end up picking up fatty/carby food to supposedly boost my energy. Of course it does the exact opposite. And after one small bag of chips, there's the next bag, then the next. I'm then done for the entire trip eating anything and everything that's bad for me. NOT THIS TIME!!!! I ate healthy food but did not try to eat lower calories, just maintain. I'm glad to be back home and back to posting and reading all your posts.
July 13 - 173.6

July 14 - DNW - I'm very happy with this round and that I was able to keep in control while traveling. Big NSV!!

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

End-of-2024 Goal—weight 170.

Day. Weight. Comments.

7/05 - 196.2
Still trending down — yay! We’re going out for dinner today with friends to a New Mexican restaurant, but I’m preplanning with their online menu, and will try very hard to skip the chips & salsa.

7/06 - 195.8
Good! The New Mexican restaurant we went to last night was excellent, and no, I didn’t manage to dodge the chips, but I nibble slowly, so didn’t do too much damage. But…DH wanted to split a dessert, so I did have a little cake and ice cream. But I went light the rest of the day, so I think it was ok. We’ll see tomorrow if there’s a delayed reaction. Maybe I can fend it off with some rigorous garden work. 😊

7/07 - 196.8

7/08 - 196.2
Ok, weekend’s over, back on track.

7/09 - 196.4

7/10 - 196.2
I’m off to another dog show long weekend in Michigan in my friend’s camper trailer, leaving tomorrow morning and probably coming back Sat., or maybe Sunday (she’s there for the duration but I’ll have my car this time, so….). Last time I managed not to overeat, so I’m planning more of the same. Her dog needs one point (out of 15) to finish his championship, so fingers and toes crossed for the best. Other than tension when they’re in the ring, it’s pretty relaxing for me—no responsibilities beyond keeping track of my folding chair! 😊

7/11 - 195.2
Now to keep the momentum all weekend while camping at the dog show!

7/12 - DNW
7/13 - DNW

7/14 - 196.6
Ok, so I didn’t exactly stick to the plan at the dog show, but I also didn’t go overboard, and this will come back off quickly if I get right back on plan. My friend’s dog finished his championship on Friday—yay! So we had to celebrate a little. 😁 I wasn’t showing, just along for company, moral support, and consults on “which outfit should I wear.” 😊 It was fun. I came back yesterday, back on track today.
