Me - Meg, age 65, desk job
Height - 65"
Starting (late) Round 269 -149.4 lbs
Goal #1 - 142 lbs
Motto: Don't let perfection and extremism get in the way of good enough.
I'm moderately active, (swim, walk, strength training - all to support my love of snow skiing!), and I like healthy foods, but I'm easily lead astray by work stress and outside eating opportunities. I've tried to give up logging and just go with the flow, but that's got me in heap of trouble. So I'm back to MFP, confessing my sins to you all.
My plan is to stay in the 1650 calorie range and adjust from there. Eating too little can only last a day or two before I make bad, bad choices. Striving for daily 85+grams protein, 25+grams fiber, with a side focus on low sodium and high potassium.
Thanks for letting me bare my soul.
@Blueberries59 It's great to have you here, thank for joining!5 -

Seems like the 'strugglers' group is growing!
Met up with DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info 😞. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available.
This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to over indulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 66 years, it deserves to be give the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal.
Sorry this post is so long, but I need to get it down in written word to help make it stuck!!
@musicsax For me, a less obvious benefit of being active in this group is by reflecting and expressing myself when composing a post. I do not know why, but there appears to be something special about writing out your thoughts. I was never a diary or journal person, but this group has made understand why so many people keep them. Your "long post" hopefully brings you clarity.
So sorry to hear of your brother's partner. Maybe if this loss refocuses your attention on your health, your DB will have more years with his sister and DP's passing will not be in vain.5 -

I joined this group in Rnd 245 on Dec 18 2023, when I realized I was eating my way through the holidays; I finally got on the scale and was hovering just under 150 lbs. It took about 4 months to reach my goal weight of 125. Sounds great, but I’ve done this before, which is why I’m still here.
It’s not just about losing, it’s about changing the habits of a lifetime that keep me stuck in self-defeating cycles with food.

* stay steady with good habits, but enjoy the treats
* use that travel scale- it’s a big help to know where you are
* if the number is a little higher, just use the info to help that day’s choices
* to enjoy the people, the places- and the amazing food- it’s Italy!

8/21: Verona, Beautiful city, much larger than I expected. Main avenue lined with couture shops opens to a vast piazza surrounding an ancient arena that houses opera performances all summer. Winding side streets to the river in the ancient city. Much to see here, we’ll just scratch the surface in our very short visit.8 -
🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 269 (my 199th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Not proud of my continual cycle of good few days followed by days of binge and scrambling to recover. Yet again I am starting again to try to overcome this, fingers crossed I’ll manage it this time. There is just over 4 weeks to my holiday, a pound a week would make me very close to where I want to be, so that is my goal for the next 3 rounds. I’ve done it before, I CAN do it again if I remain strong.
Goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
• 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.***

@_JeffreyD_ Just being aware is very important. I don’t think I’ve listened to this particular podcast. It’s a shame that our health is a commodity that gets used to keep wealth in the hands of few. Creating an unending cycle of poverty, poor health and dependency on pharmaceuticals.
A shame because the advancements in medical science really could create an increased quality and prolonged lives for so many.
Sigh no simple answer but I’m going to keep trying to stay off meds as long as I can, shopping at the farmers market probably helps!6 -

8/14 164.6 A bit of a loss to start the round is never a bad thing. I need to drink more water, so that's going to be my focus along with my macros this round. Fingers crossed!

8/18. 165.6 Got in a nice hike in the mountains yesterday which did me so much good!
8/19 166.2 Did not track religiously this week and it shows. Too much food on the go and some comfort food in there too. Gotta get my head back in the game if I’m going to salvage this round.
8/20 165.2 Dad is back in the hospital today. Praying for an end to his suffering.
8/21 164.8 Did well with the hospital food yesterday—no giving in to the sweets and heavy starches that are prevalent there. Did do some “hospital walking.” Pushed water some yesterday, which I plan on continuing today.

/logged; no exercise; 66 oz water/
Bump up from yesterday, because yesterday was an anomaly. No exercise because I am still recovering from my back tweak. Gradual improvement, but still very sore. I was able to get out of the house at least.
On a very happy note, my nose biopsy came back CLEAR! Thank you Lord! Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
8/15: 219.4
/not; not; 70 oz water/
Hard to move/exercise. Easy to eat. Came home from a meeting last night and shamelessly snacked like it didn’t matter. What that amounts to is trading yesterday’s stress for tomorrow’s strain.
8/16: 221.2 got too busy to log yesterday, but I did weigh.
8/17: 220.0
/logged; small steps ☹; 66 oz water/
My starting weight this round was really low, so I am just trying to get back there. But not trying hard enough. I am a pushover when it comes to temptation these days. I remember from other weight loss successes that I need to embrace the “hunger pang.” (Such a joke because I have never truly been hungry in my entire life. My first-world life.)
8/18: 221.2
/no logging; exercised; 66 oz water/
It has been a combination of my DW’s good cooking (using the produce of her garden mixed with all kinds of goodies) and eating out last night at a sort of higher end Mexican restaurant. I ordered a burrito, and it was so big I brought half home. I never do that; I always clean my plate like a good boy.
Needless to say I did not embrace the hunger feelings yesterday.
And today is our 45th anniversary! I am so blessed that she chose me! Where does the time go?
8/19: 221.8
/no logging; small exercise; little water/
Ok I think the anniversary celebration is over. Onward to the next 45 years.
8/20: 221.2
/logged; exercised; 90 oz water/
Listened to a podcast yesterday highlighting the dark side of “big food” and “big pharma,” in bed with our “big government.” (I don’t want my post to start a Facebook-like rant thread here on JGMTD, so I will not share the source. I am not promoting it.) Suffice to say I need to avoid processed food and medication to the degree it is possible. I, at the very least, want to be informed.
Easier said than done.
8/13: 217.4
SW on day before this round.
8/21: 221.4
/logged; exercised; 80 oz water/
I was no angel yesterday, but I feel I deserve better than this scale reading this morning. Plugging along.
I might need to become more militant with my attitude about my relationship with food. I just used a word (militant) that I thought I should look up. Ha! Synonyms are:
aggressive,
violent,
belligerent,
bellicose,
assertive,
pushy,
vigorous,
forceful,
active,
fierce,
combative,
pugnacious,
radical,
extremist,
extreme,
enthusiastic,
zealous,
fanatical,
ultra-active
I think it is proper word usage. Maybe except for the word violent. No, on second thought, I could violently slap my hand away from the refrigerator door. 😊
Antonyms are:
restrained,
apathetic

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.9 -
@_JeffreyD_ How interesting. When I read your words, I interpreted the use of militant as equal to regimented (very strictly organized or controlled), but obviously I don't know my words, OR has modern word use shifted meanings and I am old enough to have been exposed to prior uses. I have no idea. I was most surprised that "restrained" was an antonym.
Edit: I found a more useful list of meanings
https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/another-word-for/militant.html
which in part contains the following:
Adjective ▲
Strict or exacting in standards
hard-line inflexible uncompromising rigid strict rigorous stringent unbending unyielding tough exacting adamant intransigent stern unwavering steadfast brassbound intractable indurate undeviating diehard stiff extreme hardcore staunch immoderate hard-nosed cast-iron single-minded hard-core hard-boiled stand pat not giving an inch
So rigid, strict, unbending, unwavering are possible synonyms.6 -

They were so rich with the cream cheese that I couldn’t snack later except for a square of 70% dark chocolate hours later. I ate the number of poppers that I usually do, but it seemed too much this time. Next time I will make less, so I call that a NSV. I stayed within all my macros. I released a lot of water too, but why does it have to happen in the middle of the night? Sleep was still more hours than usual even though constantly disrupted. I’m feeling hopeful today after this scale drop. I also feel like I know where I really am on the scale without the bloat in my ankles. I woke up 30 minutes before my alarm and used the extra time to do a youtube video workout. Yay me when I do the right things!
08/21 -187.0- (Trend weight190.5) Traveling several hours each way this morning for neurodynamic testing of feet and then an appointment with a neurologist in regards to these diabetic feet. I’ll read all posts this evening. Have a great day everyone.

Weight 🎢 since high school! Ranging 120-172 for 45+ years. SEVEN sizes in my closet. HW 172lbs in 2010. “Always dieting”. Lost 30lbs in 2014 to 130. More crazy🎢 for 10yr. Joined JGMTD R231 7/31/23.

📣#bestshapeofmylife📣
“Maintenance” has not EVER worked for me. Had to recognize and admit that I have some type of food addiction.
I need to push to be actively improving mind, body & spirit. Otherwise, I become mindlessly complacent. Now, a perpetual self-improvement program that I am sincerely enjoying.
In order to stay focused I must continue to track all measures. Missing a day here or there is NBD but if I hit three days in a row, I need to turn around and get back on this journey full-stop!

I’m not even going to try to understand the scale. Obviously, no routine. First night I slept through the night in almost a week. I played tennis for about 90 minutes yesterday. Took it easy the rest of the day. My head weighs only 1000 pounds this morning instead of 10,000 pounds… I’m going to try and pretend like I’m 100% healthy today. Will track all measures. Enough is enough.

Round 269
I'm Julie, 35 years old, and a SAHM to almost 3 year old twins who are newly diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder. After a dark period causing me to put on over 30 lbs in a couple of months, I'm trying to turn things around and be as healthy as possible for my boys and myself.
This rounds goals are to focus on staying within my calorie budget and to go to the gym twice: swim once, treadmill once. I haven't been to the gym in several months, so just getting back there will be the accomplishment.
SW: 160.9
UGW: 125
RSW (ending from last round): 158.7
8/14: 156.9. I wasn't expecting that drop this morning, but it feels good to have my work the last week or so finally decide to pop up. I didn't sleep well last night, and already feel exhausted at 7:30am. I'm going to try to stick with the plan and not let being tired derail me.
8/15: 157.4: This seems more accurate than yesterday's number. Yesterday was not too bad. Nothing major to report from yesterday, I was over calories by about 50 calories, no walk.
8/16: 156.9. I did well eating yesterday, even avoiding emotional eating while dealing with frustration (long story short, my doctor's office scheduled me for a 430 appointment yesterday, and called me shortly before to tell me they close at 4 and are cancelling my appointment. Very weird, unprofessional and annoying as I needed that appointment). My boys are spending the weekend with my mom, so I'm looking forward to relaxing and am planning to go to the gym at least once this weekend.
8/17: 158.4. Not surprising. We hung out with some friends last night. I had had a few beers and some snacks. It was worth it. Today I have some chores and errands to do. I'm going to do some food planning and prep. I'm also planning to hit the gym this evening.
8/18: 157.6. I had a super lazy day yesterday, so the gym didn't happen. I'm having a hard time breaking through the barrier of going for the first time in several months. My husband also ordered in breakfast for us and we went out to eat for dinner. I'm surprised I didn't weigh more this morning.
8/19: 157.4. I had another fairly lazy day. I tried to keep my eating under control, but didn't track. No physical activity to speak of. But I needed some time to do nothing and relax.
8/20: 156.3. I did nothing special yesterday to earn this drop. I tried a new recipe for dinner last night, but didn't really like it, so it was easy to keep my portion size in check.
8/21: 157.6. I was really thirsty last night, so drank more water than usual. I don't think I peed it all out yet, so I'm sure I have a little extra water weight at the moment.

I got a walk in before spending hours in the car to take my 76 yr old big sister to the airport for her Camino de Santiago trek. I’m so proud of her getting into shape this year and taking on this challenge. She’s overcome so many health issues but is like the Ever Ready bunny.

8/16 132.5 Finally TMI! Fasting (except for my version of Bullet proof coffee) until we go to Golden Corral at 3-ish. DH has committee meeting from 10-3, I have nail appointment at 11:15. What an exciting day! LOL🤪🤪
8/17 133.5 I ate all the carbs at Golden Corral yesterday afternoon! My upper leg was really hurting when I went to bed and it took what seemed like hours to get to sleep.

Goals:
📊Weight is just a number to track data
🥩Increase my protein intake
🚰🏋️♀️Maintain water and exercise
8/14 203.8 I recalculated my macros last night. My calories increased along with me protein intake. I was struggling to hit 95g of protein a day and now I need 162g. I used MFP calculations, but the data set was wrong. So we’ll see how I do with the new guidelines.
8/15 202.8 20 pounds lost!!
8/16 203.0 I had LASIK surgery yesterday and found out I can’t lift weights for a week. I can do light exercise after 3 days. The fact that I was bummed about this was kind of a win for me. Exercise has become something I look forward to every day as a stress reliever.
8/17 204.0 Hormonal bloat. Hopefully will reach onderland by the end of the month once the water weight drops off.
8/18 205.7 yuck
8/19 205 Hoping this is the beginning of the slide back down.
8/20 204.6
8/21 204.3 It’s always slower going back down than up. It’s like when the bank puts a hold on a charge and it takes them 7-10 days to return it. My body doesn’t need the interest on bloat!6 -

8/21 - 148.5 - I was a bit low on water yesterday with only about 110oz but still not bad, all things considered. I'm feeling a bit better but my ears are pressurized which is causing my hearing to be muffled and is very uncomfortable but not painful. I have a bit of post-nasal drainage which is causing a bit of a sore throat/coffee. Brain fog is still lingering a bit, but I am improving. Ate to my macros yesterday and on track to do so again today which I think is really helping on my road to recovery. Here's to continued improvement!

Previous Day's Comments8/14 - Travel, DNP
8/15 - I was very bloated at my last weigh on Monday after losing A/C in Texas (it was over 100 outside and no AC for 3 days) so I'm holding on to water. I also left Monday for work travel. I didn't arrive home until 3am this morning so my weigh in is on the high end due to lack of sleep, dehydration from flying/traveling, and general bloat. I'm aiming to resume normal routine tomorrow and hopefully get back on track quickly. Glad to be back
8/16 - Still battling bloat/water retention from travel. I'm not surprised or upset by this. I got back to the gym this morning and knocked out a good workout despite being tired/out of routine. I'm feeling that afternoon slump hitting hard but I have a meeting here in a few minutes that will hopefully distract me and keep me awake and busy.

8/18 - DNP
8/19 - Well, I woke up yesterday feeling horribly sick. BF gave me covid (which we determined is what he was sick with when I came home from work travel Thursday morning). I've been battling a fever. I slept most of the day yesterday so I didn't get much food (maybe 500cals worth) and almost no liquids compared to my normal (maybe 30oz). Battled fever on and off through the night and still cycling through hot and cold phases today so far. I'm attempting to work today since I do work from home but the brain fog is reaaaaaal and I'm not sure how much I'll get done properly. With all that said, this is a false low due to lack of food and liquids. I'm aiming to improve that today - I ate some oatmeal so I could take my meds and supplements. I drank my coffee which has fiber and protein in it and now I've moved on to water. I'll likely go get some tea here in a bit once I get through this feverish phase that has me sweating like my life depends on it. Hopefully I'll be on the mend here soon. Day 4 BF said he started feeling better - not 100% but he had more pep in his step so that'll be about Wednesday for me. Fingers crossed!
8/20 - I'm okay with this jump back up. That means I did something good with re-hydrating myself and getting some good nutrition. I met my macros yesterday (coach didn't change anything and told me to use this week as a de-load. Even if I feel better, NO GYM. We'll resume next week so long as I'm feeling healthy by then). I'm feeling better today - I think I broke the fever cycle finally. I was able to take the dogs on our normal 1 mile walking route this morning without issue, which was nice to get some fresh air and movement again. Still dealing with a bit of brain fog and fatigue but I'm SO MUCH better than yesterday so I'll take it. Here's to further improvement!

Somehow I forgot to post the past 3 days. Schedule off track. Anyway, I’m back. Charlie passed his second temperament test this week to earn his AKC temperament tested title and I wanted to share this cute pic of him and his “new title” ribbon. Have a great weekend, everyone—I’m off tomorrow to support my friend at another dog show.

What? I did overeat yesterday and I know I didn’t gain 2 pounds of fat, so it’s temporary, but yikes. I’m really disgusted with myself and a bit depressed about it all. In 2015-2017 I lost almost 80 pounds. I’ve regained 60 and can’t seem to get a handle on it all. Wth is wrong with me?

I stopped trying to lose weight after Round 254 and disappeared from here to take a break and just try maintaining for a while. I find trying to lose weight takes a lot of mental energy for me and I just needed a long rest until I could get back into the right head space. I gained 4 pounds while trying to maintain but most of that was in the last 2 weeks. I am slowly slipping back into bad habits so I decided to return to holding myself accountable here.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 269 (my 199th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Not proud of my continual cycle of good few days followed by days of binge and scrambling to recover. Yet again I am starting again to try to overcome this, fingers crossed I’ll manage it this time. There is just over 4 weeks to my holiday, a pound a week would make me very close to where I want to be, so that is my goal for the next 3 rounds. I’ve done it before, I CAN do it again if I remain strong.
Goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
• 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.***
Updated 20.08.24 – I met up with DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info 😞. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available.
This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to over indulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 66 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so jeopardize that luck.

I joined this group in Rnd 245 on Dec 18 2023, when I realized I was eating my way through the holidays; I finally got on the scale and was hovering just under 150 lbs. It took about 4 months to reach my goal weight of 125. Sounds great, but I’ve done this before, which is why I’m still here.
It’s not just about losing, it’s about changing the habits of a lifetime that keep me stuck in self-defeating cycles with food.
