SW RND 266—170.4
I am on vacation until 7/21, so this will definitely be a challenge. We have the 4-year old DGD with us too, so that’s going to make this more of a challenge.
7/15 171.2 My food consumption was well within range yesterday, and I got in a good walk before Emberly got up. Drank a LOT of water after spending the afternoon in the heat on the boat, so maybe that explains some of the uptick. Oh well, Today is another day to make good choices and hope they show up on the scale.
7/16 171.2 Got in a walk before Emberly got up. Food intake was controlled well for vacation.
7/17 171.2 Scales is holding steady so I’m happy with this.
7/18 171.0 I’ve been able to control my food intake in spite of vacation, so I’m happy!
7/19 170.6 Moving in the right direction. It’s been all about quantity on this trip. I’m still eating many of the seafood treats we love when we come to Florida (some of them are fried), but serving sizes have been much more reasonable. I don’t feel deprived, and I am satiated. There’s a small key lime pie in the fridge, but I’ve eaten it in small servings and tracked everything, staying with calorie range and pretty close to macro goals.

@Skyleen75
NSV: 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 adding those weights and jumps. You are indeed a BADASS!
@_JeffreyD_
NSV: Thank you for the “mindfulness” reminder… Sometimes mindfulness could seem “obsessive” or bordering on OCD… Like it’s a bad thing, but in reality it’s wonderful and a huge blessing! I think slowing down and asking ourselves why or why not is true progress. “The unexamined life is not worth living” ~Socrates. Not sure his quote applies here, but I thought of it…

Onward!

@driniou You are welcome here whether you pay for MyFitnessPal or not. I do not. I recommend you go back to page one of this forum (scroll to the bottom of any page and you'll see a numerical list of pages). Click on page one and read the first couple posts. Our fearless leader, @quiltingjaine, has information on easy ways to post, but really, just use this group as a place of support and accountability. It's a great group of folks, and I learn something here every day by reading what others are posting about our shared journey to a better version of ourselves. Welcome!

@_JeffreyD_ I keep a nerdy spreadsheet too! I really think it has helped me think more purposefully about nutrition this time!

14 Weeks - 14 Pounds Summer Challenge (June 16 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

July 15 - 173.8
July 16 - 173.8 - I'm stuck at 173.X. It will move soon.

July 17 - 173.8 - Yep, 3 days in a row, LOL. I've found a way to keep my cravings from hitting so hard in the afternoons. It's simple but it's working. I've flipped my oatmeal or shredded wheat from morning to afternoon. The complex carbs do the trick.
July 18 - 172.6 - Finally, a drop! The old me tried to come out yesterday. I was donating to a cat rescue thrift shop and across the street was a convenient store. All the years I worked from home I would go out at lunch and get chips and diet coke even though I didn't have it in the house on purpose. Anyway, I was thinking just a small bag of salty, greasy, carby chips (how can I like those things) won't hurt. I then thought about all the work I've done to get where I am and also to get the scale to drop, and all the times I give in right before I'm going to have a drop. The problem is that one bag would lead to one more bag, etc., and my cravings will take off. I'm proud of myself, which seems weird to say, because on the surface it doesn't sound that bad to have just a small bag of chips, but for me it starts it all up again. Thanks for listening!

July 19 - 172.6 - 172.X stuck for another day - YAY!

Ok, here we go, off on a new round. I’m determined to move the needle this round.

7/16 - 197
When I said “move the needle,” I meant the other way. 😊 It’s ok, it’s a delayed reaction from the weekend away.

7/17 - 196.8
We’re finally getting a little break in the heat for a few days—80s instead of 90s—so I’m planning some garden time to try to catch up with the weeds. @quiltingjaine and anyone else who likes flowers, here are some daylilies and anise hyssop for you. 😊

7/18 - 196.4
Good, I seem to be back on track.

7/19 - 197
Pfftttt. I have to get back to walking. I’ve been having gut issues all summer and have been afraid to get too far from facilities, but I’ve cut out coffee (waaaa!) and cutting back on fats and it seems to be helping. I’m not 100% confident yet, but getting there. We have a fabulous trail system here and I’m eager to get back on it. I don’t know how I got out of the habit of 5-8 miles walking most days. I did get a get of exercise yesterday in the garden, but it’s not enough. Maybe I’ll try walking some loops around our house and see how it goes.

Re @Chapter_3 post an NSV today

I have two: One is what I've learned from being on this forum. I don't have to be so rigid. I don't have to hit every goal exactly, every day. I'm going to have good days and bad days, but I just need to keep truckin' along on the bad days and not use it as an excuse to "start over" with the expectation that I will be perfect next time. The second one is I noticed my underwear sit higher up due to less to cover

ha!

Okay, another song that's going to be stuck in my head after typing "Truckin'" - Grateful Dead

WOWzers @AR10at50 ~ that fish is as tall as you, lol ~ friggin awesome friend!!! but that's a whole 'nuther world for this city girl

@Chapter_3 my NSV would be steadily increasing steps and movement this week, as I've been averaging less than 5K for a month. Needed the motivation of checking back in every day! (will post fasting details soon)

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)

6/5 - 196.8
6/6 - 195.1
6/7 - 195.3

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.

RND 266 SW 212.0 EW TBD

GW for this round: 207

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.

7/19 208.0
