RSW: 157.4
9/3: 157.5. I had a good day yesterday. Ate within calories (including some veggies!) and went to the gym for a short run and some walking on the treadmill. I've been trying to increase water intake, I'm going to start tracking that as well. I'm also lowering my calorie goal a little. What I'm doing now doesn't seem to be working
9/4: 136.1. Finally a drop! It's a relief to see, as I feel like I am doing everything right, and honestly, don't know how much more I can realistically do. I'm going to keep doing what I am doing and hopefully it will continue to drop. I ate within my calories and went for a run.

@Zaxa2021 An error on your weight for 9/4?
You're right! Dang it, lol. It's supposed to be 156.1, which was the number I was happy about. Thanks for catching it!
@Zaxa2021 I thought you may have cut off a leg or something.

We bought too much fruit (blueberry and peach) at the farmer’s market, now we need to make pie and cobbler to use it all.
Finished an interesting novel last night called “The Venice Sketchbook” by Bowen. It was a great way to get a preview of Venice. I found myself tracing the story on my Google Map.
9/4: 220.4
/logged a little; exercised a little; drank a little water/
I need to move more.
Evidently, I did not post yesterday. This morning, I see how I had selected and copied the text, but the phone must have rung before I could post.
9/2: 223.0
SW on day before this round.
9/5: 222.4
/logged; exercised; 90 oz water/
Met my goals yesterday and was rewarded with a 2# bump. I cannot complain; I have not met my goals for a while. Need to let my body catch up.

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.6 -
Round 271
Spet 3 – 12, 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
9/3 – 135.4 Gotta just trust the process. Eating spot on, and fully tracking. Yesterday, I did do intentional activity. Not athletically impressive, but it was intentional, and that is a process win. Had to get something at Walgreens, in town, and instead of adding it to my car loop later in the day, I walked and walked a slightly longer route home. Then later in the day I convinced DH to go walk the beach with me. We are literally right on the beach, and I/we had not been on it once this year except to walk the cats. Anyhow, Intentional #1 got me 25 min at an OK pace, and intentional #2 got me over 30 min at a snails pace.
9/4 – 134.2 Finally a little movement in the scale. If I can keep this until the end of the round, I will be content.
9/5 – 134.4 Actually grateful. Had had a very busy, but otherwise great day. Planned ahead, pre-track, packed lunch back, etc, etc. OK, intentional exercise is still a work in progress. Then, in the evening, I went on a bender. Probably 1500 calories worth. Charging phone and watch now, so I can get out and do some exercise today!

@_JeffreyD_: if you like mysteries, look for Donna Leon- she's an American writer who lives in Venice and her series of detective novels centered on Commisario Guido Brunetti are fun reads and give a good flavor of Venetian culture- they're short and you don't have to read in sequence.
you may find at your library (mine has both digital and paper copies), but if not:

@musicsax Do you need some group brainstorming help to overcome your "struggles" that you mentioned?
@judefit1 Travel and the scale can be enlightening. I remember way back (1980's), DH and I went to italy for 3 weeks. Dropped 7 lb right before going (127 down to 120). The first two weeks were like you describe, lots of traveling and good food with European portions, no binge snacking and walking most places. I gained nothing during those two weeks. The last week was spent with DH's extended family. EVERYONE needed to entertain us. There was one day we had to fit in TWO multi course dinners, in order to visit every home we needed to visit. Lots of sitting included in that week. Anyhow, I gained the full 7 lb back in that one week. Last year we did Scotland/amsterdam and I brought my travel scale. Lots of lovely food, but thoughtfully selected, and the scale reports were fine.4 -

👇🏻Sept Level Up (Down) Plan
***************************
I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of Sept:
1. P:E: Proteing greater than 1:1 vs. Energy g. [Pg > (Cg+Fg)] (and kcals = avg. maintenance).I will continue this nutrition plan through July. It is supposed to support muscle gain with fat loss while 🏋🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️ 🎾. I will continue to track NSVs/macros/ activities, etc. to learn about my body.
2. 🙏📝📚🧐 - I will continue to pray, journal, research. This is my aspect of “leveling up” because I am nothing without my relationship w/Jesus Christ. I’ve also grown into loving/enjoying learning about my body & healthy aging. Replacing BAD habits w/ GOOD habits is a journey in itself. This practice helps me stay present /mindful of many decisions/ thoughts/ actions that impact not only nutrition, but improves self-talk & interactions w/others.
3. 🏋🏼♀️this is my biggest challenge. I still don’t like it. Not one bit. I have some days that it clicks, but it’s a daily struggle. Living “fake it till I make it”… Faking my “identity”. My hope is that some 🏋️♀️version eventually becomes a healthy habit. I’m working on a minimum of 10-minute “🏋🏼♀️snacks” 2-3x per day, 5x per week. Gosh, how I wish someone, ANYONE would have told me in my earlier years that 🏋🏼♀️is the key to fat-loss / maintaining - NOT cardio. I was brainwashed.
4. Healthy Aging - includes mobility, flexibility, balance and agility. While I do stretch every morning plus “stretch snacks”… I want to up this game… I will start to add “sprints” (which is NOW only fast jogging… 😂) and plyometrics (celebrating a 2” vertical jump) 😂. I read to “sprint” is vital as we age…..
5. I have much “work” to do with family relationships. Won’t detail here, but it’s a challenge & my overall health will not flourish without this being acknowledged and improved. Mind, body & spirit are connected. I won’t be fully content until I reconcile this part of my life.
6. Sleep- This is a big one. I’m usually fast asleep by 8:30-9PM. I can’t stay up later…. I love getting up early. I’m good with a 5AM wake up but I want to sleep soundly through the night. Will continue to prioritize this key component to health and well-being…
7. Have fun… lighten up … & give myself permission to be spontaneous. (This is THE HARDEST)!!!!

******************
1. ✅HSF: Avg. close to 9k steps per day for 11+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a “daily goal” because it’s now a daily healthy habit - #HSF 👏🏻🤩
2. ✅#HSF: 🙆♀️ Daily stretch greatly improving my attitude & confidence.
3. ✅ #HSF 📝 🙏 everyday
4. ✅#HSF: I play 🎾about 4-5x per week.
5. ✅#HSF : Z2 💕avg 60 min/day
6. ✅#HSF : zero to 15g of net carbs/ day
7. ✅Clean P:E 115-130g Protein
8. ✅#HSF Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM. (At least 5 days/wk)
9. ✅#HSF 💦80oz daily
10. ✅#HSF Alcohol limited to rare occasions.
11. 7 to 8 hours sleep per night is a goal. Sleep is still inconsistent the last few rounds…
Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.
Rotating 120g to 130g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable. In my dreams, I want to be 130lbs #HSF … 😎 I want to be Healthy, Strong & Fit to live out “Chapter 3” enjoying a full range of mobility, flexibility & activities… !

OK I’m confused, but I will record today as my first day of this round and I’m not sure when it ends but I will go with the flow.
Will reflect today and set R271 action plan.(I thought today was the last day R270 so I’ll make sure I’m all in by tomorrow!)
My goals for this 10-day round are to return to routine, MFP tracking, #HSF mindset, sleep well, 1.5:1 P:E ratio, 🏋️♀️📚🚶♀️10k. R270 was a blur…. I want R271 to have focus/meaning. We all know when we have a great, satisfying round and I want that again… My last two rounds have been drifters! Let’s do this! 💪🏻

✅🚶♀️🏋️♀️💦📚💤 P:E 1.8:1 Protein= 127g
Back on routine yesterday! ⚖️Uptick from long weekend vanished. Started the day with 🚶♀️5 mile &🏋️♀️. 💦& MFP tracking. I had somewhat of an internal battle of wanting to take another day off but made up my mind early to make yesterday a solid jumpstart. Affirmations and keeping my mind CLEAN with positive thoughts made the difference. Today: I have early 🎾 and will track all measures. MFP routine tracking provides the structure I need to stay focused.

You were able to enjoy eating without limitation in Italy w/12k steps per day…. My thoughts?
1) You’ve succeeded in implementing nutritional healthy habits (portion control & mindfulness). You are indeed a new you!
2) Italian food = Fresh ingredients w/o hidden seed-oils, chemicals and preservatives. SAD is poisoning Americans.
Progress right there my friend!!!!

9/5: 156.0. It was a good day for me. I ate well and did some intentional exercise. I went to the gym to run on the treadmill again. Although it's only been a few days, it's beginning to feel more like a routine, more normal kind of. I also went for a couple of small walks, as the heat allowed. I'm looking forward to the weather cooling off a bit soon so I can get outside more.

Previous Days' Summaries9/3: 157.5. I had a good day yesterday. Ate within calories (including some veggies!) and went to the gym for a short run and some walking on the treadmill. I've been trying to increase water intake, I'm going to start tracking that as well. I'm also lowering my calorie goal a little. What I'm doing now doesn't seem to be working
9/4: 156.1. Finally a drop! It's a relief to see, as I feel like I am doing everything right, and honestly, don't know how much more I can realistically do. I'm going to keep doing what I am doing and hopefully it will continue to drop. I ate within my calories and went for a run. [\spoiler]4 -

9/03 - 150.4

9/05 - 149.3 - Managed to stick to goals/macros and drop back down. I am feeling a bit more hungry than usual so I'll see if Coach will maintain or increase. It's not horrible, but any deeper of a deficit may be tempting fate with binging at my weakest moments hah! I did much better about hitting my goal of 8-10k steps and also managed to get in my water goal. Today I'm having a similar lunch and snack to yesterday but a slightly different dinner. I'm aiming to intuitively adjust the lunch/snack to account for the different macros within dinner. I still have one more meal to eat intuitively and 1-2 full days of no tracking this week. Monday's holiday (US) really put me a tad behind - I can't believe it is already Thursday! Tomorrow I'll likely eat lunch intuitively as well as I'll be running errands in town and I don't anticipate being home in time for lunch. Because Monday was a holiday, my 4 days of meal prepped dinners includes Friday (usually Friday is improvised) and breakfast is usually fairly straightforward so lunch it is. Plus, if I eat out it's nearly always just an estimate anyway so perfect to "skip" tracking.

Previous Day's Comments9/03 - Also posted on the previous one. Oops. I'm bloated, retaining water, and just feeling meh. The weather is very much sleeping weather for me (raining and dreary. I love it, but I'm so drained from this weekend it's really not helping me get work done!). I did get to the gym this morning after skipping yesterday. I did a very quick kettlebell workout just to get some kind of movement in yesterday but it wasn't enough. Today the gym lifted my spirits a bit until I sat down behind my computer to work and I'm back to wanting to face plant my keyboard and sleep my day away. Oops! Day is all planned out according to macros and I'm diligently working to front-load water so I don't mess that up again. I barely got in my gallon yesterday and failed to get enough water all weekend otherwise. Here's to progress!
9/04 - I bounced to the 149.x range a couple times before settling here. Probably still holding on to water weight. I feel rather puffy. I stuck to goals yesterday and am on track to do so again today if I eat my dinner and no more snacking after that! I have 28oz left to drink before bed to hit my 1 gallon (128oz) goal Coach set for me. I'm also feeling better mentally and had a really good day at the gym today which is was nice after missing Monday and having an off day yesterday. As of today, I have exactly 1 month until I leave for my week-long vacation! I'm not ready but so ready all at once.

SW RND 271 132.0
9/3 132.5 Yesterday’s picnic was a SUGAR STORM! The pulled pork had been liberally doused with extremely sweet sauce. There were baked beans (also sweet) and watermelon. I had some pork with lettuce leaves. For dessert they had cookies. I intended to drink a protein shake before we went but time got away from me. I ate cookies, super sweet pork, and lettuce.
9/4 131.5 Went to Jesse Rae’s BBQ and had REAL pulled pork seasoned with dry rub and smoked, not cooked in sweet sauce. Had my protein shake for dessert, 2 me made jalapeño poppers early. On a side note - we live about 8 miles south of Nellis AFB and I LOVE to hear “the boys” flying. The walls virtually rattle in the proper weather/wind condtions. I’ve had to re-order taking my supplements due to the new to me bone support recommended by retired RN neighbor. It is to be taken away from calcium so I’m taking it when I get up and when I go to bed and taking everything else about 4 hours later in the morning and earlier in the evening.
9/5 133.0 Well, I thought that weight yesterday might be a dream but . . . Wow! Today we’re going to dinner at Golden Corral with friends (their choice) Just stay on the roller coaster and ride.
My email was hacked on Monday and it has taken this long to get access! Wouldn’t you think facial recognition and fingerprint would be enough to prove I’m me?2 -
@SModa61
I checked Amazon and the company for 1 bottle price and ordered directly. I did get a 3 month supply but didn’t compare that price. Each bottle is a 30 day supply and you’re not supposed to take it with calcium.0 -

09/03 -192.0- (Trend weight -191.6-)
09/04 -190.8- (Trend weight -191.5-) I woke up STARVING today. Likely due to the drop on the scale. I’ll have to plan my food carefully today . I have a haircut today at the local salon then the roofing supplies are being delivered today by a home improvement truck. And my Qty 65 Fourteen foot treated 2 x 6 boards may arrive at the Amish lumber yard today for me to begin picking up as it will take several trips due to the weight. If they don’t come in today then it will be next week due to holiday delays. So it will be a busy busy day. I hope all this will help keep my mind off food. My dinner will be key since I will need to avoid so many night time snacks when the day winds down and there is more time to eat. It’s a plan.
09/05 -190.8- (Trend weight -191.4-) Weight the same as yesterday, trend weight down a notch. After my haircut I did end up eating off a food truck because I was Starving and I could feel my glucose dropping. It was beef-a-roo truck. I had 3 small chicken strips and some fries where each French fry was so tiny I had to use my bifocals to see them. The food was bland, simplistic and pretty awful. I won’t be doing THAT again! Glad to see my weight sustained and I sincerely hope it don’t rear its ugly head in the days coming. I did tip-toe around food last night for dinner because of it and made some definite adjustments. This is really all about lifestyle changes and I’m glad I was able to make adjustments to my dinner and snack schedule to accommodate without too much trouble. Baby steps getting back in the saddle again.

I got my smart scale to work again after I stopped doing what it was asking me to do and tried something different. Fairly good day although I am struggling to not eat my exercise calories.
9/4: 164.7 lbs
Crackers were my downfall.
9/5: 162.9 lbs
I actually managed to not eat my exercise calories. Not because of will power but because we ran out of crackers. The crackers are supposed to be for the kids but I tend to get into the "stuff it" mindset late in the day and eat them.

🍎🍏🍎 SW Rnd 271: 135.0 🍎🍏🍎
Time to get back to the basics that I know can work for me… logging, movement, water and limited snacks. Consistency matters!
9/3: 135.0. I’ve been taking it easy due to some stitches on my calf that I don’t want to pop open. It’s time to ease back into a consistent routine! 9,100 steps. ✏️
9/4. 134.2. Got a nice walk in, did some gardening and lots of housework. Was still a tad short on my water intake. 10,360 steps ✏️👣
9/5. 134.8. Got a decent walk in plus some time at the gym. Also kept under my calorie goal and managed to hit my water goal! AND the insurance company is reimbursing us for our broken pipe under the house! Best news of the last month! 12,600 steps. ✏️👣💧🏋️♀️3 -
🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 271 (my 201st). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Not proud of my past record of continual cycle of good few days followed by days of binge and scrambling to recover, still not doing very well, 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.

@musicsax Do you need some group brainstorming help to overcome your "struggles" that you mentioned?
@judefit1 Travel and the scale can be enlightening. I remember way back (1980's), DH and I went to italy for 3 weeks. Dropped 7 lb right before going (127 down to 120). The first two weeks were like you describe, lots of traveling and good food with European portions, no binge snacking and walking most places. I gained nothing during those two weeks. The last week was spent with DH's extended family. EVERYONE needed to entertain us. There was one day we had to fit in TWO multi course dinners, in order to visit every home we needed to visit. Lots of sitting included in that week. Anyhow, I gained the full 7 lb back in that one week. Last year we did Scotland/amsterdam and I brought my travel scale. Lots of lovely food, but thoughtfully selected, and the scale reports were fine.
I've got myself into a can't be bothered mood, need a kick up the bum I think. Don't know why, I've got so many blessings to count, just in a need food in my mouth mode, come on get with the program!!3 -

@musicsax I can so totally relate. Very similarly, I put on almost 10 over the summer. I’m now getting a handle on the food, but still struggling to get the exercise in place.3 -

I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my morning coffee.
Rnd 270 End Weight 170.6
9/03- 171.2
9/04- 169.0
9/05- 169.0
9/06- 168.6 There simply wasn’t food to shovel into my mouth hole. These days the kids call it living in “an ingredient household”. Meaning there aren’t snacks to just pick up and eat, if you’re hungry you have to actually make something. Like when you find yourself in front of the fridge eating a handful of shredded cheese because it’s the only “snack” in the house.
DH loves to grocery shop and buys food he leaves on the counter to grab by the handful- nuts, crackers, chips, etc.
All of his boxes and bags were empty yesterday so I simply ate my dinner when I was tired and hungry instead of adding in the extras.
Could it be that simple? No way, I’m not a calorie saint! I might not bring it in the house but I am a vicious car snacker. I fight the devil on my shoulder every time I shop over what I could get to eat in the car on the way home.
The food addiction is so real.8 -
@Chapter_3 I think I need to use this to help me do “desk” work. I just always push it to last on the list- answering emails, billing clients, making appointments, organizing files. It just hangs over me. But really it takes very little to just do it and I always feel better.4

@_JeffreyD_: if you like mysteries, look for Donna Leon- she's an American writer who lives in Venice and her series of detective novels centered on Commisario Guido Brunetti are fun reads and give a good flavor of Venetian culture- they're short and you don't have to read in sequence.
you may find at your library (mine has both digital and paper copies), but if not:

Thanks @judefit13
