    Transformation Journey (includes pics)

    Hi I'm Reshii ~ 58, 5'9" ~ HW:280 | UGW: 170
    1st Round 246 SW: 212.5 | Round 261 EW: 196.8

    JAN 1st: 212.5 | WAIST 36.9 ~ HIPS 47.0 ~ BF 40.6% ~ BMI 31.5
    FEB 1st: 203.0 | WAIST 35.1 ~ HIPS 45.8 ~ BF 38.5% ~ BMI 30.1
    MAR 1st: 201.8 | WAIST 34.4 ~ HIPS 45.0 ~ BF 37.5% ~ BMI 29.5
    APR 1st: 198.2 | WAIST 33.5 ~ HIPS 43.0 ~ BF 37.3% ~ BMI 29.4
    MAY 1st: 197.3 | WAIST 34.0 ~ HIPS 43.0 ~ BF 37.5% ~ BMI 29.5
    MAY 16th: 194.2 | WAIST 33.5 ~ HIPS 42.8 ~ BF 36.8% ~ BMI 28.9
    JUN 4th: 196.8 | WAIST 33.4 ~ HIPS 42.8 ~ BF 37.0% ~ BMI 29.2

    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 :smiley:

    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! :smiley: 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.

    Sometimes 10 days is even too much… These last two days I’ll focus on one commitment and one commitment only… Getting a jumpstart for my one year challenge

    @chapter_3 did I miss what your one year challenge is?

    Hi! I wrote that hastily, so it doesn’t make sense… Next round 7/31 I will be one year on this challenge… I want to spend some time with review and challenge myself to jumpstart next round, so yes, it was a miscommunication!

    Thank you for asking!!!

    @quiltingjaine Thanks for continuing the challenges. Somehow I missed the next one you likely posted and couldn't find it. I went back and found it the hard way. Probably just me but just in case, here is the link for others.

    @SModa61 When we lived with diabetic aunt I made all pies with Splenda. Also not a great choice but would it work in your case? DH actually liked them better that way. Now I use one of the sugar alcohols with no complaints. The dietary limitations! When he went to an allergist, he was told to eliminate “apples, oranges, onions, garlic, and wheat” for 6 months. He/we did it but at the end of 6 months didn’t notice any difference.

    @quiltingjaine Impressive the chocolate bar is still in the freezer. Bravo!

    As for the allergist, interesting set of restrictions. Onions, garlic and wheat are in the same FODMAP group, apples are another, oranges had none. So, it does sound like they were targeting allergies like you were likely pointing out. Have you/DH ever looked into the low FODMAP protocol? There are 6 catagories of FODMAPS and there is a whole approach for determining if one has a sensitivity to one or more of them. I am rusty at this point, but I remember the basics. It is a PITA, but it can be eyeopening.

    Closing out the round :)

    SW RND 266
    7/16 222.6
    7/17 222.2
    7/18 221.2
    7/19 222.2
    7/20 222.6
    7/21 221.2 ~ It actually feels weird to not track, not plan my meals. It's a little scary and challenging wondering what dinner will be and I'm missing my regular exercise. But these boxes though!! :). But this morning, I'm going to take some downtime, enjoy a cup or two of coffee and catch up. Bear with me on my late responses.
    7/22 218.4
    7/23 218.4 ~ Not even sure how that happened.... I did resume my workouts yesterday, but only at about 75% of what I was doing before.
    7/24 220 ~ lower than start... I'm good..

    @SModa61 At some time in the past I had read about FODMAPS but don’t remember why. I’ll have to refresh my memory. Thanks for the reminder!
