    @judefit1 would you mind sharing how you managed your phone overseas? Through your carrier? Italian SIM card? ESIM card?

    About Me & Goals
    *******************

    F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean P:E (Proteing> (Cg+Fg) Greater than 1:1 ratio. A clean/whole food WOE. Track macros, all fitness and NSVs. I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food my entire life.

    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. Lost 15lbs in 4 mos. Finally said goodbye FOREVER to the 🎢! I’ve named my journey #HSF (Healthy/Strong/Fit) & On my way to
    📣#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!

    Didn’t eat very much yesterday but good protein - duck eggs and venison. Delicious!! Late lunch of greek yogurt chicken salad- yummy too. Late night 🎾 and opted for no dinner. Dumb.… Solid🏋️‍♀️session yesterday. 🚶‍♀️to grocery in 100°. Felt good actually.

    Rest day today.

    ⚖️ scale ups and downs are more than quizzical. It’s getting to the point where I have simply no idea what the scale will read….. Another chapter in my journey! Onward!

    🚫Level Up! 🚫 another sick day. Yesterday: 🎾,🚶‍♀️6k 💤 8hrs

    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.

    Much better day! I hit all measures except 🏋️‍♀️. I’m at that point where I sound much, much worse than I feel… So I’m definitely almost there! This morning Im super puffy… Not understanding that but it’s minor.

    We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

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

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

    We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

    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.

    8/20 133.0 I wanted chocolate last night but have none of the one I like(Sam’s Choice 90% Cacao) but Hershey bar DH bought me as a “reward” is in the fridge and I DIDN’T EAT IT!!! Yay me!
    8/21 133.0 Community bingo tonight with pizza for dinner. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Leave the crust, just eat the toppings. There is a small piece of leftover rib eye steak in the fridge, maybe I’ll eat that before we go to bingo.
    8/22 134.5 I didn’t eat the steak but I did eat the pizza. Different brand and too much bread with too little toppings. Pizza, potato chips, watermelon and ice cream sandwiches. Carbs anyone?? Glad I hadn’t eaten all day - did have one keto shake at 10 am. Catching up on posts and keep getting kicked off MFP. FINALLY!

    @JeffreyD: it’s very simple to get international plans through your carrier and it includes data for the device so you can use your phone seamlessly; my partner has a different carrier and an android phone and it works all. I recommend checking on VPN which protects you a bit more for Wi-Fi that isn’t your normal

    Male: 67
    6’-2”
    OSW: 237.8 (Nov. 2016.) I was actually at 250 in 2011 or so…
    OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
    Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205

    Goals for this round:

    1. Log my food daily; try to eat cleaner and work on portion control… really try this time.
    2. Daily exercise; at least some movement…
    3. Drink 90 oz. water.
    4. Do the first three goals.

    This is my posting format….

    Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed.
    / Logged Food - yesterday; Exercise – yesterday; water - yesterday / Comment

    /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.

    8/21: 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

    Some restrained militance yesterday. Want to do better today.

    8/23: 221.4
    /no logging; exercised; 66 oz water/
    Underwhelming. Travel the next few days so check in will be spotty with no scale.

    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.
