    @musicsax: a belated Happy Anniversary! Glad you had a wonderful day, 46 years is something to celebrate!

    @Skyleen75 :
    This is a time when I sometimes get overwhelmed, procrastinate, get anxiety and turn the knob on my food addiction all the way up to deafeningly loud.
    What is it about the fall? It's my "high anxiety" season as well, and when I go down the eating rabbit hole- I think it's a throwback to start of school (my own and my kids) and stress about that? I'm determined to beat that this year!

    @judefit1 @skyleen75 How interesting. Summer is my worst time of year, with fall as my uplifting best...... usually. So far this year, I'm struggling to get my typical fall mojo.

    @deepwoodslady The struggle is real! It’s hard to flex the will power muscle when life is going off kilter. Your attitude is a ten out of ten!

    @Skyleen75 Thanks so much. I always say that sometimes I give in but I never give up. I appreciate your words of encouragement!

    Day/Weight/Trend Weight/Comment

    9/13 - 198.2/198
    This uptick of 1.8 in one day makes absolutely no sense. I’m officially depressed about it.

    9/14 - 198/197.9
    I did some β€œconsolation eating” last night. Not too bad, but more than optimum. I’ll do better today.

    9/15 - 197.4/197.8
    Nothing much to report. Have a lovely Sunday, all!

    9/16 - 197.4/197.6
    Other than 10 Triscuits last night, I did well all day.

    9/17 - 196.8/197.4
    Better. Also, I realized something (thank you, @SModa61 , for the nudge with your calcium discussion!). I’ve been having terrible gut issues all spring and summer, making me afraid to be far from a bathroom so keeping me from long walks. Have tried eliminating various foods from my diet with no results. Didn’t even think about the magnesium I’ve been taking to prevent leg cramps. I’ve stopped for a bit to see if that’s it. If so, and if cramps come back, I’ll add calcium to balance it out. I actually feel better already, and am hopeful for nice long autumn and best-of-winter walks.

    Day/Weight/Comment

    ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 191.0

    09/13 -DNW- (Trend weight -DNW-)

    09/14 -192.8- (Trend weight 191.5 )

    09/15 -193.2- (Trend weight -191.6-)

    09/16-193.6- (Trend weight -191.8-) Another emotional day that I didn’t end up handling well food-wise. Gotta pull out of this!

    09/17-193.8- (Trend weight-192.2-) I finally managed to have an overall good day except for exercise so what I am showing is likely a no-TMI fluctuation x 2. I chose to visit my sick older friend once the renovation crew left. She is still healing from the last fall which broke a bone in her neck and two in her back. She is also resting from completing her chemo and radiation treatments for lung cancer (previous smoker quit 2007) and will be getting a consultation soon about immune therapy. I took her a wonderful cappuccino and declined to get one for myself. I drank water. NSV! I woke up a little early this morning so I could do a youtube exercise video before the crew arrived. Starting my day in the right mindset and am confident that today will be another good day. I need two in a row so badly! Tomorrow I travel to see an eye specialist to find out more about the wrinkle in my retina and the bleeding blood vessel. I’m not sure what, if anything, can be done but I guess I’ll find out. As if the puppet wrinkles around the corners of my mouth weren’t enough! So, travel this week is Wednesday and Friday which should complete my September appointments for myself and son. Then, my great plan is to kick *kitten* and take names and get the (weight loss) job done. I’m not liking how my clothes are fitting again. However, my cat is happy. She’s kneading on my tummy again. That’s my cue!

    09/18-xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

    09/19-xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

    09/20-xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

    09/21-xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

    09/22-xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    @sheilaboneham - sorry to hear about your digestive issues. So frustrating and hard to pin down. Anything in a pill form should be the first suspect. It would be so easy if all you had to do was eat more pepitas and less magnesium pills.

    I went down the FODMAP elimination diet rabbit hole and found no smoking gun there, but in truth I didn't do it perfectly. I did learn a lot about what may or may not be troublesome for many.

    What I did finally discover about myself is that caffeinated coffee is a problem for me - so sad! Also, my gallbladder was a problem and so I had it removed - which didn't solve anything until I started watching my diet on MFP and monitoring the macros. Turns out those with a sluggy or non-existent gallbladder really have to keep the fat intake to a reasonable level.

    Hope you find a resolution soon.

    This round I am going to focus on the basics: eating within my calorie budget and exercising every day.

    Round 272 SW: 162.7 lbs

    9/13: 163.8 lbs
    If I am honest, I am not even trying to lose weight. Only half the family was home for dinner so I made pancakes! I have never served up such an unhealthy dinner. Reading the latest comments from this round is helping me refocus. Thank you to everyone who shows up everyday and posts here.

    9/14: 163.6 lbs
    It was pizza night and I stuck to my calorie budget. I ate carrots with my pizza to slow my eating down and it seemed to have worked. I didn't eat any leftovers afterwards like I usually do.

    9/15: 163.6 lbs
    The kids made apple crumble which of course was near impossible for me to turn down. So I ate at maintenance for the day.

    9/16: 162.5 lbs
    Ate within calorie budget and exercised.

    9/17: 162.0 lbs
    Are within calorie budget and exercised.

    @judefit1 @smoda1 I love the the Fall feels but I think the Back to School Blues might be real.
    Mentally I’m trying to prioritize what’s important but I can’t help the nagging thoughts of making sure I get all of the windows clean before it’s too cold…

    Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a β€œHealthy, Strong & Fit” identity.

    #helpfulhabits

    About Me & R272 Commitments:
    ********************************
    F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean P:E (ProteinG> (Cg+Fg) A clean/whole food WOE- (🚫processed foods). Track macros, all fitness and NSVs. I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food my entire life.

    HW 172lbs in 2010. Lost 30lbs in 2014. Crazy🎒 for 10years. Joined JGMTD R231 7/31/23. Lost 15lbs 8/1 -11/23. Said goodbye FOREVER to the 🎒! I’ve named my journey β€œ#HSF”
    & On my way to
    πŸ“£#bestshapeofmylife

    πŸ‘‡πŸ»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 πŸ‹πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ€ΈπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ 🎾. I will continue to track NSVs/macros/ activities, etc. to learn about my body.
    2. πŸ™πŸ“πŸ“šπŸ§ - I will continue to pray, journal, research. This is my aspect of β€œleveling 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. πŸ‹πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ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 β€œfake it till I make it”… Faking my β€œidentity”. My hope is that some πŸ‹οΈβ€β™€οΈversion eventually becomes a healthy habit. I’m working on a minimum of 10-minute β€œπŸ‹πŸΌβ€β™€οΈsnacks” 2-3x per day, 5x per week. Gosh, how I wish someone, ANYONE would have told me in my earlier years that πŸ‹πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ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 β€œstretch snacks”… I want to up this game… I will start to add β€œsprints” (which is NOW only fast jogging… πŸ˜‚) and plyometrics (celebrating a 2” vertical jump) πŸ˜‚. I read to β€œsprint” is vital as we age…..
    5. I have much β€œwork” 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)!!!!

    9/13 131.4 Awful sleep last night. Bummer.
    I feel like I’m on one of those bouncy gyms!
    Solid day w/ 14k steps. Will spend today in reflection, prayer and creating the determined mindset for #HSF. I will start to actively show myself some TLC. I πŸ’― know that when I’m off-kilter it’s related to my sleep patterns…. I’m tired. And when I’m tired, I lose pretty much all of my joy. Today will be a slow start but I’ll get with it! Let’s do this yall!

    #HSF mindset engaged. Focusing on personal integrity and the process. (Keep my word to myself with ZERO excuses!) I will do this for 10 days!

    Wonderful day yesterday! My β€œEpiphany” gave me energy and direction.

    My little bodybuilder πŸ‹οΈβ€β™€οΈemoji represents functional strength training… Not full traditional weight lifting, although I incorporate 10, 15 and 20 lb weights. I also focus on using my own body weight and calisthenics. Will fine-tune these exercises. I’m good with my current macros and PE ratio commitments although will lower fatg a bit - Looking forward!

    My body truly needs to be dedicated to science. I had a perfect day yesterday I have no clue about this scale this morning. On the one hand Im pissed - on the other hand, totally flummoxed and oh geez…. What can I learn from this? I am learning about my body, and I still have no clue after an entire year!. The only thing I can think of is that I went to sleep much later than usual and ate 2oz of cheese around 8pm. Slept like πŸ’©. I do know my body is super sensitive so let’s see what today brings! If I can gain 2 lbs+ in one day WITHOUT REASON maybe I can lose 2lbs+ in one day! 🀣

    Today: Bring it on!

    βš–οΈ I sincerely have no idea why the scale fluctuates so much… I can only guess it’s my unique internal β€œprocessing.” The steadier my daily routine (no eating after 6pm and routine foods), the steadier the scale. Timing & Familiarity are key.

    SW RND 272: 135.0
    GW RND 272: 133.5 (dare I set this goal? I think I can do it if I stay focused)
    UGW: 125 and evaluate from there
    Non-scale goals for round 272 (tracked for the prior day each morning):
    πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ(cardio) or πŸ‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ (lift) 7/10 days
    🚫 no alcohol 5/10 days
    πŸ“ track 6/10 days
    ⏱️ intermittent fasting (16:8) 7/10 days

    9/13 - 134.2 πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ ⏱️ Set some extra goals for this round. Not starting too ambitious yet but these things should help me stay on track. I did drink yesterday and failed to track my intake. But I went for a run and lifted weights at least! I didn’t snack at least. Today I’ll just power walk the dogs, and my 3 year old asked me to e-bike him to school, so I did. That’s very light cardio but it’s more than I get while driving!

    9/14 - 132.8 πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈβ±οΈ Didn’t make many of my non-scale goals. I’ve always been a procrastinator πŸ˜… My loss today is at least partially dehydration due to alcohol. I drank more than I’d planned when a friend popped by after dinner. Ugh. Not sure what activity will be today but I’m hoping to squeeze something in around kid activities!

    9/15 - 134.8 πŸ“ Phew, so many calories at dinner at our friends’ house. Just realized I forgot to track the wine, and I’m already at 1100 calories for dinner alone 🫣 I didn’t get a workout in yesterday beyond ebiking the kids around. Today we’ll go on a family hike. It won’t be much but I’ll count it.

    9/16 - 134.8 πŸ“πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸš«β±οΈ First day I’ve hit all of my non-scale goals! I stayed baaarely within calories but I felt like I was back on track with my goals. DH is definitely a bad influence but I can overcome his attempts to derail me, haha. What I can’t comprehend is his saying he’s overweight and he needs to fix it and he knows it’s his eating, but he carries on without making a change. It’s clear to me that he sometimes feels offended when I make a different eating choice from him but I wish he would channel that energy differently. It isn’t going to get easier as we age. Each time I restart it gets harder. Anyway I’ll just try to keep progressing toward my goal and maybe he’ll get inspired. He can’t do it if he doesn’t genuinely want to. Today I’m going to take the dogs on a walk/run for my activity. I already know I’m making instant pot chicken adobo for dinner so I can plan my lunch accordingly.

    9/17 - 133.2 πŸ“πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸš«β±οΈ Yesterday was a very good day. I had a bowl of ice cream after dinner that wasn’t planned but fit within my calories+exercise calories, so I’m okay with it. Otherwise everything was exactly as planned. Today I’m lifting so won’t have as many exercise calories to eat, but I’m always hungrier on my lifting days. The program I’m doing increase squat weight by 5 pounds every workout so I’m already at 100 pounds today! Feels like a milestone. I’m a little worried that it will get too heavy soon but so far so good.

    9/18 - 133.0 πŸ“πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ Yesterday I tried to up my protein. I realized that if I want to build and/or maintain muscle while also losing weight, that's what I'm going to have to do. But wow, it's hard on limited calories! Here was my attempt:
    Breakfast: 9 tbsp of egg whites mixed with a little cheese, avocado, and salsa
    lunch: cottage cheese, chicken breast, and an apple
    snack: banana (think I could have squeezed some protein in here but I was in a rush)
    dinner: steak with veggies and yams
    All of that was only 95g of protein and I'd like to have roughly my weight in grams of protein. Anyone here target protein goals? Any suggestions? I don't love protein powder but I'll try it if it's the only way.

    This uptick of 1.8 in one day makes absolutely no sense. I’m officially depressed about it.

    9/14 - 198/197.9
    I did some β€œconsolation eating” last night. Not too bad, but more than optimum. I’ll do better today.

    9/15 - 197.4/197.8
    Nothing much to report. Have a lovely Sunday, all!

    9/16 - 197.4/197.6
    Other than 10 Triscuits last night, I did well all day.

    9/17 - 196.8/197.4
    Better. Also, I realized something (thank you, @SModa61 , for the nudge with your calcium discussion!). I’ve been having terrible gut issues all spring and summer, making me afraid to be far from a bathroom so keeping me from long walks. Have tried eliminating various foods from my diet with no results. Didn’t even think about the magnesium I’ve been taking to prevent leg cramps. I’ve stopped for a bit to see if that’s it. If so, and if cramps come back, I’ll add calcium to balance it out. I actually feel better already, and am hopeful for nice long autumn and best-of-winter walks.

    9/18 - 197.2/197.3

    @Chapter_3 thanks! Great advice! I JUST had a portion of grilled chicken breast for a snack. Very satisfying! Interesting about the Pg > (Cg v Fg). I'll monitor what I'm eating for those details and check out your profile too.

    Edited to add that I just checked that formula on the smoothie I had for lunch. It had 31g of protein but 49g of carbs thanks to the fruit! I love fruit though :( Oh, just saw the yogurt I used had a lot of carbs, too, because I didn't have any plain yogurt on hand. I can improve that at least.

    9/13: 163.8 lbs
    If I am honest, I am not even trying to lose weight. Only half the family was home for dinner so I made pancakes! I have never served up such an unhealthy dinner. Reading the latest comments from this round is helping me refocus. Thank you to everyone who shows up everyday and posts here.

    9/14: 163.6 lbs
    It was pizza night and I stuck to my calorie budget. I ate carrots with my pizza to slow my eating down and it seemed to have worked. I didn't eat any leftovers afterwards like I usually do.

    9/15: 163.6 lbs
    The kids made apple crumble which of course was near impossible for me to turn down. So I ate at maintenance for the day.

    9/16: 162.5 lbs
    Ate within calorie budget and exercised.

    9/17: 162.0 lbs
    Ate within calorie budget and exercised.

    9/18: 162.5 lbs
    Ate within calorie budget and exercised. I am pleased with the momentum I am building. I am going to try to keep it going at least until the end of the round.

    @pezhed - I, too, keep slices of 100 g grilled chicken each day at hand to make my goals. Maybe I'll add a TBSP of whey protein or chia seeds to oatmeal or whatever for a 5 g bump. I'm aiming for 80 to 100 protein grams max. I also try to get a good portion of that from plant based protein - striving for 50%/50%. Hitting 30+ grams fiber is also on my list.

    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 272 (my 202nd). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.

    This round will be a challenge as we are on holiday in Spain for the whole 10 days, eating in the hotel for 2 meals per day & not being in control of food preparation is always difficult to calculate calories. I CAN do it again if I remain strong.
    Goals for this round;
    β€’ First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
    β€’ to try not to gain!
    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 DP's 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.
