************7/25 ⚖️131.0
My 37th round and will celebrate ONE YEAR of this challenge on 7/31! I’ll be crunched for time over the next few days because of family and stuff that rarely happens. Won’t be including my history, “July Level up” etc. until later this challenge (probably this weekend). I do plan to evaluate my year and create new aspirations moving forward. I’ll re-read my journal. I’m glad that 7/31 is my Anniversary and 8/1 is another FRESH NEW START. I have learned that each 10-day challenge is not a simple roll-over from the previous unless there is a conscious decision to make it one. After all, this is a 10-day challenge! It’s the opportunity to tweak the previous 10 days and re-commit to forming new habits. I’m really excited and thankful! Also, I am a totally 💯 different person than I was a year ago. If you would have asked me one year ago if I would do this …. Every 10 days… for one entire year, I honestly would have said no way would I do this for one whole year!!! But now, I 💯 would do it all over again! I never missed a day, I never stopped working on “Me”…. I’ve learned more than I can imagine… So for those just starting…… One day at a time, for 10-days WORKS! Good luck to all! And thanks for being REAL! I learn from EACH POST!
7/26 ✅July Level Up but no reading or journal. P:E 1.4:1 Pg 125. Good day. Ate salad for first time in a year and won’t ever again. Leafy greens are my enemy. 🎾🏋️♀️. Family leaving today.

⚖️ The scale reflects four days of irregular schedule and total discombobulation. I give myself a B+ in nutrition. Looking forward to getting back in the groove!
I will do at least one thing that challenges me big-time today. Step out of comfort zone. I’ll get a taste of what’s in my realm of capability…. Becoming #HSF

Round 267
July 25 – August 3, 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
7/25 – 133.4 yesterday day and dinner went off without a hitch. After dinner was good, when about 9 pm came and oh man was it challenging. Anyhow, I resisted and got through. Completed 5 days eating on track. Exercise still not happening. I won’t bore you with the excuses.
7/26 – 134.0 Uptick. I know that this is not due to calories eaten and has to be part of those small ebbs and flows that just happen. Yes, yesterday I did allow myself to eat something at 9 PM, BUT it was selected weighed and tracked, so I am OK with that. Even with those extra calories would not have exceeded my caloric needs for the day. Looks like I have made it through 7 days of thoughtful eating. I am under 135.0, which was looking like the new norm. Trying for 130 max by end of round 268.
7/27 – 134.2 glad for tracking. I am ok with scale as I am trusting the accuracy of my tracking. This morning, fingers were stiff from packaged rice pilaf last night, and digestive system is not up to par. I am expecting it to shake out over the next few days. Tonight I am facing going out to dinner, so the sodium issue will repeat itself. I have looked at the menu and am pre-tracking my dinner. I am going to do my usual trick of ordering a nice appetizer as my entrée. I find that to be a happy compromise. I get a portion controlled delicious meal with none of the additional calories from the side dishes.

@lisacantwell Congratulations for checking in here two days now! You can do this! This group is a fabulous support community!
@RichardHaw I never thought about bad knees being genetic, but that does hold true for me as well. Both my parents had bad knees, but I had always chalked it up to the fact that we were a tennis family. I figured it was all those quick starts and stops that did in my knees. My weight loss is helping my knees too, but doc says I'll need them both replaced. I'm trying to put that off a while longer so I only have to do it once and not need it again at 75.3 -

7/25 169.4 Got in an outdoor walk between rain showers yesterday. The temperatures felt amazing all day, and we sure did need the rain!
7/26 168 Walked between showers yesterday and also got in an exercise bike workout during the rain with DGD on her own exercise bike. We had so much fun together with that! It’ll be good for both of us because she has our genetic tendency to hold weight.
7/27 168.8 Guess that’s the rebound after a pound and a half loss yesterday, because there’s no other explanation for it. It happens. Almost always. It’s fine. Was more active yesterday in activities with DGD and then got in a good walk in the evening too. Good day!

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!

It’s DH’s birthday, so I’m taking him out for dinner. He wants fish, so I’ll be able to stay within bounds. I am baking him a cake, but I plan to give some of it away. 😊
7/27 - 196.6
I guess I did ok with lunch out yesterday. I did have birthday cake (red velvet with cream cheese frosting) last night, but it was essentially a “meal,” so my total calories were reasonable. I want to get out in my garden, but the Nextdoor neighbor is sitting outside smoking a stinky cigar and it turns my stomach. It’s an ongoing problem when he’s home in the summer. Luckily, he often cares for his little grandkids and doesn’t smoke in front of them. Anyway, my “gut” seems much better since I’ve stopped drinking coffee (waaa!) so I’m going to try a walk on the river greenway in a bit. Have a great Saturday!

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

@quiltingjaine Okay, you got me! What is FUBAR?
In regards to daughter, I agree. I mean, I know it is just her way. She actually carries her totes EVERYWHERE she goes. I think she got into the habit when DGS was small with diaper bag maybe (to hold his snacks?) I'm not sure, but she is so tiny that the bags are bigger than her! No, I don't need her pulling stuff out and offering it to me. Sometimes I'm strong and say no to her fancy chocolates. "No thanks, I have some dark cacao. I'll have a square of it later after dinner". etc. But when I'm going through these weak times, its rough. Time for another talk! I hate to deflate her, but I don't need to be INFLATED with calories and carbs!4 -

07/24 …..188.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/25 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW)
07/26 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) Today is my usual no-weigh Friday. I was still off the rails yesterday so it’s just as well. In regards to Foodie daughter, is it okay to keep blaming her and her Mary Poppins endless tote bags of food during her 4 days per week here or should I be blaming myself when she doesn’t actually sit down on top of me and force it down my pie hole? Ah….truth hurts. I am coming to realize that I do wonderfully as long as I’m not around food. I am safe at home around food most of the time as it is carefully selected things I keep in my home. However, I am Horrible in travel, during holidays and occasions, and around other people when they eat. It is horrid. After all this time, I’ve gained resolve but absolutely no willpower or strength in my bid for more self-control. It’s a hard realization but an honest one. That Hershey bar of @quiltingjaine s, I would have licked the melted chocolate off the paper. No, it would have never made it to the freezer! Did I mention I’m not a child and I’m actually 64 years old? I’ve had a LIFETIME to gain a backbone. I’m having a lot of self-realization in a different light this morning. I hope these feelings last and help me move forward in a more positive and successful manner. Did I mention that my older friend who broke her hip and her pelvic (two different falls) has now fallen again and broke two vertebra in her back and also her pelvic again? I’m glad for the Friday morning Fosamax and hope it someday helps me better than it is helping her. Health is important, chocolate is not. It’s frivolous at my current weight and not very good for my diabetes either!
07/27 -189.4- (Trend weight 189.2) Still trying to lose the bulk and bloat from travel. I started back on the water pill on orders of the cardiologist for a one week experiment. Daily this time instead of every-other-day. Lots of water shed yesterday until about 3:00 then nothing. I assume my weight was even higher before shedding. Today I am making a crock pot chicken parmesan dinner which is loaded with pasta. I will make today an OMAD day, sticking to very low carb liquids during the day (broth, black coffee, water) to offset the damage although I know I will probably eat some approved snacks later tonight. It’s an easy meal for the whole group and something I’ve been craving. I’m trying to show myself that I can have the things I crave if I fit it into my day properly and eat in the correct portions. On keto I was eating less than 20 carbs per day. Now I am keeping it at under 100 which makes it totally different than before. This allows so many more foods and now that I can eat them at a higher level (carbs), I need to learn to control it. Much different than avoiding it altogether. Tweaking, Tweaking…..

July Goals: Starting over 7/12 ~ lost six weeks of progress and regained 7 pounds adjusting to new third shift work schedule. They call it graveyard for a reason!!! My exercise, water and step count have all also dropped considerably. Goals this month are simply to lose as much as possible building momentum and getting back in the groove.
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 (LAST DAY REPORTING)
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.6 -
5"5', F, 40
Goal : I am healthy weight/BMI but unhappy with weight around my belly. My goal is to focus on cutting fat for few days and then increase calorie intake and strength training to build muscles.
Ultimately Focus on form and body fit than weight. Goal for this round would be to shed fat.
USW-135.5lbs :: RSW-124.5lbs :: RGW-123lbs :: UGW-118lbs
7/25 - 124.5 lbs. Followed IF 20:4. Continue another week and focus on fat loss. Plan weekend since that is when I do most damage.
7/26 - 124.7 lbs. Closed the eating window and then slipped and had some cake and hummus. Got to be more careful. I was full and closed window but hubby slipped and I consequently deviated. Need to be more strict on sticking to plan. Weekend is where I slip the most.
7/27 - 124.7lbs. Night out planned with food and drinks. Deviated from IF window and closed it much later. Accounted for everything in food log

I feel the parent pain Donna! kids can be perfect in 1000 ways and still be clueless sometimes! They're all very comfortable taking us for granted. My son included!! I think most parents have felt the same. I'll give them a pass once or twice, but if I get to 3? Houston we have a problem.
That means you're not listening, understand how vital this is, or care enough to make an effort.
I've had to tell my own son a version of ~ I love you dearly but why do I have to keep telling you how your choices are stressing me out and literally putting my health at risk? You should be supporting and encouraging me, not making a rough ride worse! I know you're not doing it on purpose and I'm not trying to make you feel bad. I'm reminding you I'm your mother and I need you to do this. (EYES LOCKED) --- ARE YOU. HEARING. ME? You don't have to be perfect, just on your A-game about this. Can you do that?
I'd be disappointed and HURT if he didn't make @ least a solid B effort after all of that!! but hope I haven't overstepped. Kids need to be called out on their sh%t, and we need to stop making excuses for them.7 -

Round 266 ~ My Journey (Round 1) ~ Karla, 67 YOF, 5'4" ~SW: 221.5 lb. ~ US Size: xxl (22) ~ UGW: 145 lb.🤔🤔🤔Thoughts & Musings...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I normally log in as the last thing before bed to reflect on my day and to set a game plan for tomorrow. This is where I write it out, sort of journaling, sort of tracking, sort of a mental dump.
Saturday- 07/27 ~ Todays weight 219.2
Did I miss yesterday? I remember a lot of pain, and I remember doing PT. I must have slept a lot. Sleep is a great place to hide.
Well, today I wasn’t quite a painful when I woke up, but then PT first thing and ‘pain~agony~ouch’ I think I might be overdoing the PT, after today’s 2nd session I had to sleep for a couple of hours. I am a week out and don’t want to fall behind on recovery but am having trouble finding a good balance. Off to bed I go and tomorrow a fresh start.
I am following IM & IE with some success. I am enjoying food more and recognizing feeling satiety.
Today, I am focusing on……………
(IM) Intentional movement: getting up and walking every hour or two with a minimum of 30 min. daily (in any combination of minutes/sessions).
(IE) Intentional eating: Recognizing the food on my plate, taking small bites, putting down the utensil, consciously chewing, tasting the flavor, feeling the texture and stopping before I feel full. Giving myself time to recognize the difference between hunger and satiety.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 267 (my 197th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round; (same as last few rounds & hoping committed to achieve them this time!! – Again!!)
• 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.

Round goals: > 3 miles/day walking (1:00 time wise), more stretching as I'm having some aching and aggravation of knee and back issues, and trying to get better at golf (this is my year to actually learn how to play the game).
7/25 Thu: 193.7, walked 1:04, hit the driving range for golf. Still having problems with right quads and knee.
7/26 Fri: 196.2, walked 1:25, 9 holes of golf. Can't seem to shake leg muscle issues.
7/27 Sat: 193.4, no walking as spent the morning helping friends move and aft/evening on a casino bus trip. Didn't over indulge diet wise so that was a plus even if the aerobic exercise was missing. Got some strength work in moving appliances though.8 -
@lisacantwell Congratulations for checking in here two days now! You can do this! This group is a fabulous support community!
@RichardHaw I never thought about bad knees being genetic, but that does hold true for me as well. Both my parents had bad knees, but I had always chalked it up to the fact that we were a tennis family. I figured it was all those quick starts and stops that did in my knees. My weight loss is helping my knees too, but doc says I'll need them both replaced. I'm trying to put that off a while longer so I only have to do it once and not need it again at 75.
@UTMom81 I had some issues around 40 and went to see a top sports ortho surgeon, I still remember he walked into the room, and before the door had even swung shut glanced at the x-rays and said "Someone in your family has bad knees and you inherited them. Stay away from high impact sports". My dad went through a set of artificial ones and the 2nd time around surgery was much worse. His were in the 80's though, they have gotten better since then. I'm putting it off as long as I can though for the same concerns.8 -

7/28- 177.6 Bahahaha clearly I did great sticking to my plan. I wanted to type DNW but I think it’s important to show how weird our bodies are. Did I eat more and move less than normal, definitely. But did I eat THAT much more???? No way.
So much salt. Even my adult beverages on Friday were salty. The nail in my salt coffin was definitely the bag of potato chips I ate yesterday.
Salt combined with too many calories, not enough water and no TMI, viola a five pound gain.
The last of our guests leave today. It’s been exhausting but fun. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to undo.
I feel ok with this huge bump up as long as I get right back on track. Starting with my Sunday workout.8 -
@musicsax in our previous lives, my husband and I owned a herd of registered polled Hereford cows. Your visit to Hereford has brought back a lot of great memories, and a few moments of "oh my gosh, what were we thinking!" Sweet cattle, but oh my, how expensive there were to maintain! I bet that region is beautiful, though!6

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!

7/25 169.4 Got in an outdoor walk between rain showers yesterday. The temperatures felt amazing all day, and we sure did need the rain!
7/26 168 Walked between showers yesterday and also got in an exercise bike workout during the rain with DGD on her own exercise bike. We had so much fun together with that! It’ll be good for both of us because she has our genetic tendency to hold weight.
7/27 168.8 Guess that’s the rebound after a pound and a half loss, because there’s no other explanation for it. It happens. Almost always. It’s fine. Was more active yesterday in activities with DGD and then got in a good walk in the evening too. Good day!
7/28 168.2 Another good day. Spent the afternoon with Dad here and made him one of Mom’s favorite recipes, her spaghetti, but ate well all day and got in a long walk in the evening. I was thinking just now that I am now about 4 lbs less than when I was the night I got the call that Dad had fallen and broken his hip. Everything about my life was changed at that moment, but I didn't know it yet. Ended up retiring to care for him here in my home until this past April, and lost total control of my own body, blowing up like a balloon to the high of 191 (in March). It feels so good to have regained control of what I eat and how I move and to be back closer to a healthy weight. I feel sure I can reach my goal weight now and will probably lower it to about 145. Feeling good! I am thankful for this group and the support and accountability each of you provides.

My 37th round and will celebrate ONE YEAR of this challenge on 7/31! I’ll be crunched for time over the next few days because of family and stuff that rarely happens. Won’t be including my history, “July Level up” etc. until later this challenge (probably this weekend). I do plan to evaluate my year and create new aspirations moving forward. I’ll re-read my journal. I’m glad that 7/31 is my Anniversary and 8/1 is another FRESH NEW START. I have learned that each 10-day challenge is not a simple roll-over from the previous unless there is a conscious decision to make it one. After all, this is a 10-day challenge! It’s the opportunity to tweak the previous 10 days and re-commit to forming new habits. I’m really excited and thankful! Also, I am a totally 💯 different person than I was a year ago. If you would have asked me one year ago if I would do this …. Every 10 days… for one entire year, I honestly would have said no way would I do this for one whole year!!! But now, I 💯 would do it all over again! I never missed a day, I never stopped working on “Me”…. I’ve learned more than I can imagine… So for those just starting…… One day at a time, for 10-days WORKS! Good luck to all! And thanks for being REAL! I learn from EACH POST!
7/26 ✅July Level Up but no reading or journal. P:E 1.4:1 Pg 125. Good day. Ate salad for first time in a year and won’t ever again. Leafy greens are my enemy. 🎾🏋️♀️. Family leaving today.
7/27 ✅July Level Up however still no reading or journal but now that family left late yesterday, will get fully back on track. P:E 1.2:1 Pg 120. 🚶♀️10k
⚖️ The scale reflects four days of irregular schedule and total discombobulation. I give myself a B+ in nutrition. Looking forward to getting back in the groove!
I will do at least one thing that challenges me big-time today. Step out of comfort zone. I’ll get a taste of what’s in my realm of capability…. Becoming #HSF

Positive day! Stepped out of my comfort zone with 20 lb weights. Great ST work out!
Protein too high. Two eggs before tennis, 8 Oz boiled shrimp @noon, protein shake mid-afternoon, and a tomahawk pork chop @6pm… All Under 1200 kcals…. I could’ve skipped the shake in the afternoon but forgot to track it and then big surprise last night after finalizing the day! Will track real-time today.
Slept like a rock last night… thankful! Almost back in the groove! #HSF

Waiting for this round to start so I could join back in...Traveled last week for work and personal. So blessed to find a place to live in Austin now back home preparing to move. The people who offered to buy my house have become nightmares, long story, but everyday seems to be a new chapter of a horror novel- it's not that bad. But the stress is getting to me, little time to exercise but I am squeezing in my pickleball.
RSW: 120.2
RGW: 118.anything
GW 115
7/25:120.2 - I feel I cheat - waiting several days for the challenge to start I cannot help to be mindful of what I am eating and make better choices. I did play Hot Pickleball (similar to Hot Yoga, the warehouse is not air-conditioned) last night. Got up an hour earlier today and have been hauling things out to the curb (this should count for exercise) for trash day. First day in several I did not wake up with a headache, been so stressed - but prayed to God and he answered and resolved what seemed an overwhelming obstacle so I am sure letting go and trusting has released some of the tension I was carrying in my shoulders.
7/26: 119.8- Funny, I was mindful until yesterday - then careless yesterday and I will pay the price tomorrow...Had little time for dinner and found a TJ mandarin chicken- nothing is healthy there! But quickly made it and used half the sauce. I know I will be bloated tomorrow- I am going to repeat and repeat that so I have no reason to be upset. Played pickleball last night- Got to Sam's club right before it closed and they had moving boxes- Yeah! Slept well last night, feel so much better today.
7/27: 120.6 Mentally expected bloat-still psychologically challenging.
7/28: 120.0 So overwhelmed with the prospect of moving I guess forgot to log on yesterday.Am so overwhelmed figuring out what stays or goes: garage sale, donate, trash... I am what appears to be productive, trash and recycle bin full ( Trash day Thursday), Trunk of car full to donate and garage full of stuff I ant to sell. They I bebopping all around - no plan.Did not play pickleball yesterday, sad, I needed to focus on house- Good news I do think I finally finished shredding all -previously ours- but seems to have become my responsibility 30 years of paperwork. I ran his practice in our previous location one of the reason we had so much paperwork and I may have a slight hoarder problem- but not anymore. i did do body pump last night. I think I am accepting the next 5 weeks need to be action oriented to getting moved. When I get to Austin I can re-establish my fitness habits, I just have immense guilt if not dealing with the move. Buyers have backed down- probably because I expressed I was very happy if move fell through. But are adamant out of house Sept 1. Hoping to do Body Flow today and post one item on Facebook Marketplace which seems incredibly intimidating to me.
