Day/Weight/Comment
07/14 …..189.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/15 -189.4- (Trend weight 188.6)
07/16 -188.8- (Trend weight 189.0)
07/17 -187.0- (Trend weight 188.8) Finally a nice little whoosh. Today I am traveling with my contractor to pick up 7 windows we ordered for upstairs. I will be pulling a trailer and I’m not used to that so wish me luck! Lunch will be out. This particular town offers a lot that I’m not used to. It will be challenging. I’ll be letting the contractor pick the restaurant so I’ll have to make wise choices and practice self-control.
07/18 -188.6- (Trend weight 188.8) The jump up on the scale was expected after travel yesterday. Not enough movement and the biscuits & gravy I had for brunch took their toll. I will increase water and movement/exercise today and continue my battle with cravings. I would love to be back in the 170’s by labor day although my actual goal will continue to be “any downward improvement” in my weight from challenge to challenge. High Key but Low Pressure.

7/15 212.0 Working out last night wasn’t easy after taking time off for vacation, but it wasn’t as hard as I expected. This week’s goal is to get back on track with water and logging food. Hoping I can lose at least 1 pound from where I was before vacation.
7/16 210.8 Moving in the right direction. Forced myself to get out and walk in the heat yesterday. Took my water with me and got another 24 oz in during the walk. It was worth it.
7/17 209.0 Almost back down to pre-vacation weight. Increased my walk this week to 2 miles a day. Feeling good right now.
7/18 208.6 Work lunch yesterday and I ate more carbs than usual. Drank more water though and hit 2.5 miles walking. I’m back to pre-vacation weight and getting closer to 20 pounds lost! Going to celebrate this small win with some walking today, but otherwise resting on the exercise front.11 -

I'm still in major disarray. I jump on the scale every morning (I still can't find a wireless one), but I'm all over the place with eating and tracking. I will update for continuity, but I won't really be back in focus until mid-August.

Super motivated as I haven't seen my weight drop daily since March. What's so exciting is its all fat!!! Body water, muscle and protein rates are all slightly higher ~ while my BMI, subcutaneous and visceral fat continues to drop. I feel like one of those ads I never believe, because I'm not even working out as hard, lol ~ still not back to my lowest weight or measurements before stopping in June, but closing in sooner than expected.

July Goals: Lost six weeks and regained 7 pounds adjusting to third shift work schedule. Exercise, water and step count have all also dropped considerably. Goals this month are simply to lose as much as possible just getting back in the groove. Starting over 7/12 @ 202.6 lbs | BF 38.4% | BMI 30.1
June Goals: Having gotten as low as 193 in both April and May, I'd like to drop below that in June. (FAIL)

MAY 1st SW: 197.3 | EW: 196.8
MAY Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat ❎❎❎
May 22: I had packed some shorts to change into after swim without trying them on. They were so tight last summer, I expected the fit to be better ~ but when I put them on ... wow. I was in front of the locker room mirrors and was like omg, that's you. How long has it been since you looked/felt like that? I was spinning around looking at myself for a good 2-3 minutes, y'all, lol ~ my New #1NSV
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 a long way from 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.11 -

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 266 (my 196th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round; (same as last round & hoping committed to achieve them this time!!)
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
• to get to/stay under 139 pounds,
• 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.

7/16 139.4 – (trend 139.7) 7.7 miles walked, 88% of exercise calories eaten back. Walking today will be a challenge, rain started yesterday late afternoon & has not stopped yet, at times it has been torrential ☹. Usual Tuesday lunch out with DS’s planned for later.

7/19 141 – (trend 140) – no structured walking, yesterday we left home early to travel to a caravanning DF of 25 years funeral. He had bravely fought prostrate cancer for the last 9 years. It was an outdoor wake with a hog roast & cider, exactly what he would have organised for himself. RIP DF. Struggled the last few days with afternoon snacks too, need to get back on track (yet again ☹!!), 5 days to do this.

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!

7/19: It seems my scale has 4 weights that it posts for me consistently; I'd think it wasn't working but my DP gets on it too, and I've used the renpho travel scale to compare. So, week's end I'm back to the low point in my weekly cycle just in time for wine night with my daughter
Oldest daughter is heading to Lake Placid to do the Ironman on Sunday: 2/12 mile swim, 100 mile bike then a full marathon run. Nuts. She's hard core. I worry about her, but it's what keeps her going. She says it's her last and she's not worried about finishing, so I hope good sense keeps her safe...
My two daughters couldn't be more different, but they're good friends7 -
@fmfdfa2020 I’ve had that same conversation in my head a thousand times. One of our lovely friends here pointed out “food addiction” not too long ago. I think those are the moments where it’s clearly a struggle with food addiction not just “I want to lose some weight”.
Talking yourself through it is inspirational and I feel like you wrote exactly what I needed to read this morning.
Also great question for @AR10at50 hal-about it, what’s the biggest?
@quiltingjaine I can understand your DD anxiety and I’m sure it gives you a bit too. These human bodies are so complicated and take so much maintenance.
@khahn72856 It IS hard!!!! Some days are harder than others. There will be other days that feel like you are on top of the world.
You are tough, hang on and keep pushing through the hard stuff.6 -
@reshii_devi YES!!!! I need that inspiration. Those steady drops and feeling strong. Great work.7

I know in my heart of hearts that this is a temporary stall and a time for me to reset. I’m keeping my head in the game, being kind to myself and celebrating my NON SCALE VICTORIES.
This is for you @Chapter_3!
My NSV this week has to be my workouts this week- I just feel like the strong badass I am. When an instructor says “go a little deeper if you can” or “you can add a jump here if you need more” or “for a challenge add some weights”.
I’m over here going deep, adding jumps and using all the weights!!!! My workouts are on point this week and that is a victory!!!7 -

2. 🙏📝 🧐 - I will continue to pray, journal, research. This is my aspect of “leveling up” because I am nothing without my relationship w/Jesus Christ. I’ve also grown into loving/enjoying learning about my body & healthy aging. Replacing BAD habits w/ GOOD habits is a journey in itself. This practice helps me stay present /mindful of many decisions/ thoughts/ actions that impact not only nutrition, but improves self-talk & interactions w/others.
3. 🏋🏼♀️this is my biggest challenge. I still don’t like it. Not one bit. I have some days that it clicks, but it’s a daily struggle. Living “fake it till I make it”… Faking my “identity”. My hope is that some 🏋️♀️version eventually becomes a healthy habit. I’m working on a minimum of 10-minute “🏋🏼♀️snacks” 2-3x per day, 5x per week. Gosh, how I wish someone, ANYONE would have told me in my earlier years that 🏋🏼♀️is the key to fat-loss / maintaining - NOT cardio. I was brainwashed.
4. Healthy Aging - includes mobility, flexibility, balance and agility. While I do stretch every morning plus “stretch snacks”… I want to up this game… I will start to add “sprints” (which is NOW only fast jogging… 😂) and plyometrics (celebrating a 2” vertical jump) 😂. I read to “sprint” is vital as we age…..
5. I have much “work” to do with family relationships. Won’t detail here, but it’s a challenge & my overall health will not flourish without this being acknowledged and improved. Mind, body & spirit are connected. I won’t be fully content until I reconcile this part of my life.
6. Sleep- This is a big one. I’m usually fast asleep by 8:30-9PM. I can’t stay up later…. I love getting up early. I’m good with a 5AM wake up but I want to sleep soundly through the night. Will continue to prioritize this key component to health and well-being…
7. Have fun… lighten up … & give myself permission to be spontaneous. (This is THE HARDEST)!!!!

1. ✅HSF: Avg. close to 9k steps per day for 11+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a “daily goal” because it’s now a daily healthy habit - #HSF 👏🏻🤩
2. ✅#HSF: 🙆♀️ Daily stretch greatly improving my attitude & confidence.
3. ✅ #HSF 📝 🙏 everyday
4. ✅#HSF: I play 🎾about 4-5x per week.
5. ✅#HSF : Z2 💕avg 60 min/day
6. ✅#HSF : zero to 15g of net carbs/ day
7. ✅Clean P:E 115-130g Protein
8. ✅#HSF Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM. (At least 5 days/wk)
9. ✅#HSF 💦80oz daily
10. ✅#HSF Alcohol limited to rare occasions.
11. 7 to 8 hours sleep per night is a goal. Sleep is still inconsistent the last few rounds…
Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.
Rotating 120g 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… !

⚖️🚫 on sleepless nights. Rotten mood usually when I crawl out of bed at 2 AM. Why make it worse? Wanting a positive day with our DGS…. Will peter-out at some point. I’ll fuel my body and drink lots of 💦. Determined.
NSV: yesterday morn I put on a tennis skirt that I had purchased in April that fit well (at the time). Was so loose yesterday I didn’t wear it. In April, I was the same weight I am now…. The ultimate confirmation my body is changing. 💪🏻

Yesterday was an almost perfect day. Stretch, 🎾, plyo, sprints, DGS, soccer, sprints again & 🏋️♀️ with him! All on 4-5 hrs sleep. Wiped out by 4pm. Today won’t be as much activity - will read, journal, 🙏 reflect. Grateful & present.
Scale? 🔄Fluctuating 2 to 3 lbs for a few months now. 🤔Was 129 four days ago… (Is 130 g -140g of protein too much? -will drop to 120ish). And no naughtiness in sight!😎 This happens pretty consistently now… Not sure if this is a fluctuation or a muscle gain? A new me? Such intense workouts…. And inconsistent sleep. I’m still on plan with a loose tennis skirt. #HSF

✅July Level Up! 💯 P = 120g; P:E 1.2:1 🚶♀️10.7K 🛏️💤 4 hrs
Up @ 3:20. These sleep patterns are starting to bring me down… I must stay on top of my thought process to remain positive and keep going… I will ⚖️tomorrow no matter my sleep patterns.
Very enjoyable & active day yesterday with DH & DGS. 🎾🏋️♀️🏀🏃♀️& napped for an hour. Went out for Mexican food last night with high school girlfriends. We do this every six weeks or so. Opted for Ceviche & one Mezcal on the rocks.
Day5 NSV CHALLENGE: I have two:
1. I can actually go out for Mexican food now without chips and salsa. I chose to Ceviche which is healthy and also chose a zero carb cocktail - a delicious /satisfying evening out and never felt deprived.
2. I now understand and fully embrace that my relationship with food/body/mind/spirit are inseparable -and it will be/is a lifelong journey. There will never be a destination. My NSV is finally, recognizing & accepting that “maintenance” for me (#HSF) is a more intricate & complex push/pull process than the the seemingly linear, one dimensional process of reaching a goal weight. Building healthy habits is hard… And my fresh new habits are yet to be a given… they are laborious. But it’s what I want. And if I really want this new #HSF identity, I continue to embrace the privilege of pursing these new healthy habits every day.

I want to build on the mild success of the last round. I will not be around a scale starting on the 22nd. I will be around foodie friends and eating out for a couple weeks after that, so I want to build my consistency of logging this round. Actually pay attention to what I shove into the old pie hole. Behave as if each bite has consequences. When I travel, I tend to neglect the MFP app. I should at least keep logging food and exercise shouldn’t I?
I used the word “I” quite a bit. Nine times in the previous paragraph. Thank YOU all for giving me a measure of accountability for my actions.
It feels a little funny being the only man in the group (far as I can tell, forgive me if I am wrong) but the group works for me. I hope I am not missing any obvious signal that this is a women’s only group. HA! Message for any outside guys who are taking a look, just try it for one round.
7/16: 218.6
/logged; exercised; 90 oz water/
Last night at about 8 pm half our town lost power, including my house. Gained it back at 5 am. Very little sleep between. When I got up at 2 am to hook up the generator I weighed a full 2 pounds more than what I recorded above. Somehow I lost those pounds by 6 am.
As of this writing I am dog tired…. Quite a bit of town still in black-out. A friend is using my generator now. My Mom’s retirement center is still blacked-out. She is coming over to our house to spend the night with air conditioning.
Lots of whining here. Sorry.

/logged; exercised; 80 oz water/
Slept like a log last night. For a change.
Scale reading is on a very rare exact-same-each-day streak. I don’t know how. Yesterday was a little cheaty. Ate a few emotions. Munched on some lackadaisical. In fact it was a bit of a run away train. I did perform a lot of functional movement yesterday which must have helped. Better beware today because I am headed for a jump up.

/logged; exercised; 80 oz water/
Aaaaaand that is how the scale works. I actually ate better and exercised more than the day before, but the reading went up over a pound. I get it. The scale uses delayed gratification. I don’t. I need to.

SW on day before this round.

Feeling the crush of pre-trip planning and packing.
My NSV is my mindfulness lately about what goes in. By that I mean I am at least thinking about it from a health perspective before I eat it. I am even tracking some macros on my nerdy spreadsheet. Let’s not get carried away; I am not striving hard to meet my goals, but I at least have some goals. HA! I can save that NSV for later.
I do want to be mindful during my trip.

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.8 -
@SheilaBoneham I love it when you post your garden pictures. Always lovely!
@AR10at50 That halibut is impressive! I love Alaska, so I'm more than just a little jealous right now!
@RichardHaw We are really glad to have you with us!6
