    Female 5’1” Age 75 years 

    HWE 197.0 (2/2008)

    Weight on 1/17/17 174.5

    OGW 137 (set by WW 2008, WW goal 1985 was 126) UGW was 125 (HS weight)


    1/1/25  139.5


    Comments pertain to previous day


    SW RND 289 137.0  AW 136.9

    3/2  137.0 

    3/3  138.0 Terrible “sleep” last night. I think it was around 2 when I finally drifted off and woke up at 5 - wondering if the sourdough is okay. It was beautiful so it is now shaped and in the fridge for the “long ferment.”

    3/4  137.0  Slept last night from 9-6, I think.  Got up, got the bread in the oven and baked, and waiting to take it to the neighbors’ for group breakfast in 45 minutes. 

    3/5  137.0  Breakfast with neighbors was good. Egg casserole, bacon, 1/2 slice of my sourdough, a taste of fried potatoes. 

    3/6   137.0  Late lunch with neighbors at Great Greek - small side salad and steak. At least I’m holding my own. 

    3/7   137.5  My eating was good, low carb until I took a loaf of fresh bread to the neighbors who are leaving today. I didn’t eat the bread but I did eat a slice of pizza. 🤦‍♀️ I need to get my act together! My knees are killing me. One of the first things I noticed when I cut carbs almost 8 years ago was that my knees quit hurting. 

    3/8  137.5  Lovely TMI

    *FOR BETTER OR WORSE, I’m going to post the next round

    3/9   137.0 Awoke at “4:30” with splitting headache, took aspirin and tried going back to bed and gave up at 4:45. Got up only to realize we had to “spring forward.” 5:30 seems to be my normal-ish wake up time. I had what I would call a “high protein” day yesterday. Beef, beef,  cheddar and 1/2 of a protein shake. No bread, no knee pain! 
    3/10  136.0  Very low carb except the 4 prunes to keep things moving.

    3/11  135.0  I’m pleased with this round. AND I slept until 6:30!

    03/10 –197.4 (Trend Weight – 196.4) From bad to worse. The Madness must stop. Seriously, I’m just being ridiculous.

    03/11- 194.6-(Trend Weight: 196.2)- 🍀🍀🍀 Wow what a Whoosh! It’s amazing what a delayed TMI and a prescribed water pill can do! Gone is all the bloat and this is what I’m left with, a true weight that needs A LOT of work. I had a good day yesterday. I even fit in 10 minutes of exercise in two 5 minute sets. I’ll try to do better today. The spring-like sun is making me feel energetic and hopeful even though I didn’t sleep well last night. 1.8 lbs down for the round. Great round to us all, especially in light of the FRUSTRATING new format. See you on the flip side!

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

    3/5 157.2

    3/6 157

    3/7 157

    3/8 155.6 ten pounds to lose before I am at an ideal weight, no longer overweight by the charts. Went from obese in October to almost there.

    3/9 155.6 Blood sugar 129 this am, lowest ever. Hope to have it normal in another three months, or sooner, if I stay strict!

    3/10 still no weight drop but i was in a calorie deficit all this week, so expect an eventual whoosh. And my blood sugar was 124 this am. So I am happy and hopeful to see it eventually be normal. I will celebrate on that day. It means more to me than the weight loss.

    3/11 still no weight drop. Still a severe calorie deficit every day and 15-20 K steps, so I know it will happen, but it is taking its own time. Blood sugar went up after morning walk, so that was the same too. I don't understand it.

    3/02 - 167.6

    3/03 - 168.6

    3/04 - 166.9

    3/05 - 166.7
    3/06 - 166.6
    3/07 - 168.1
    3/08 - 169.1
    3/09 - DNW
    3/10 - 168.8
    3/11 - 168.1 - Better, at least the weekend is dropping off a bit. I'm feeling pretty good this week so far with my food. I've figured out a breakfast that keeps me full enough and adding in coffee a touch later than I was drinking it now acts as a morning snack and suppresses my appetite sufficiently enough to make it through until lunch. Lunch is a higher volume meal (chicken cabbage stir fry) but I do end up feeling a bit snack-ish in the afternoon. I had to stop at the store for BF this morning on my way home from the gym so I got him a donut and me some protein donuts (drumroll brand) that I have logged as an afternoon snack. That leaves me a bit of protein and carbs for another snack later or a dessert after dinner. Feeling positive! See you next round <3

    Yesterday my total carbs were 44, net carbs were 25, so not a whole lot of difference. I try to stay under 50. On very rare days I might go from 50-100 but that's not often. I will check out Fung's book on diabetes

    Measurable Daily Goals

    🚶🏽 - Closing my rings M-S Move = 700/Exercise = 45/Stand = 12)
    🍎 - Tracking/Under Calorie Budget (approximately 1650)
    ✅ - Macros - Protein (75g - 100g) Carbs < 75g
    💧 - Water - Minimum 50 oz
    🚫 - No Wine
    ⬇️ - Downward trend

    Starting Round 289 : 229.4 Goals/10 days!🚶🏽🍎✅💧🚫⬇️

    3/2 228.2 (-1.2/-1.2) 🚶🏽🍎🚫⬇️ Carbs were high, and water intake was low. Had a busy day starting with a birthday party and then babysitting the grandkids.
    3/3 228.0 (-.2/-1.4) 🚶🏽🍎✅💧🚫⬇️ Carbs are still higher than I normally consume. Not sure if I shared here...but using Factor meals for calorie and portion control for a bit. Question for the group. I am laser-focused on these 10lb this month. I have slacked up this year on my strength training. Mind you, not a powerlifter by any means but wondering if I should wait to resume my ST until April or whether the impact would be minimal (muscle weighing more than fat) to start now?
    3/4 227.0 (-1.0/-2.4) 🍎💧🚫⬇️ A little surprised at this number as yesterday didn't include much exercise or moving around (6 hour meeting at work). Calories good, water good, carbs high...
    3/5 226.0 (-1.0/-3.4)🚶🏽🍎💧🚫⬇️ Took a while to update and I'm afraid it's all going to go poof and/or I won't be able to copy and paste and retain the formatting……Down another pound! WOW. I weighed 6 times and moved the scale around and this was the highest recording!! I've met my goal for the round, now just got to keep it….any additional is a bonus!! Calories at 1535, lowest in a bit….

    3/6 227.2 (+1.2/-2.2) 🚶🏽Call it a "market correction". I was not good at all. Well, I was good until about 6pm and then apparently I snapped. Back on target today, for sure.
    3/7 226.2 (-1.0/-3.2) 🚶🏽🍎⬇️ ~ Looks like I'm getting rid of my spoilers for a while until I can figure this thing out…. I used to keep my post outside of MFP and then copy and paste, but the service that I was using doubled it's membership fees so I cancelled and figured out how to do it here. I guess that was a waste of time. Back in line. Happy with this round so far.
    3/8 226.4(+.2/-3.0) 🚶🏽🍎
    3/9 DNW ~ 🚶🏽 it would not be good. Got my exercise in but otherwise, it was a day of feasting. My husband's sister and brother came to visit. We went out for breakfast and pizza for dinner. Gotta hit my 3.5 this round so out of a nice walk in a few hours and at or under calorie goal for the day!
    3/10 227.2 (+1.2/-2.2) 🚶🏽🍎💧Damage done…. Now need damage control.
    3/11 227.2 (0/-2.2) 🚶🏽🍎✅💧🚫⬇️ - ok, all things considered… Next round!!

    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 289(my 219th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.

    So here we go again, I’m just keeping plugging away! New round, this time I need to stop playing around & take it more seriously, I am not in maintenance & I want to get back to where I should be. I will be taking something forward from @Chapter_3 (yet again) if I may "We should be strategically engaged with our lives each day, right?! That’s my word… ENGAGED." " I will try to keep that word ENGAGED in my mind over these new 10 days & also remember that I am the driver of my life & not the passenger. My goal for this round is to get back to 139s. I need to be diligent as only 3-5 days per round staying on the wagon is not sufficient to get me back to where I want to be & then relaxing for the last 2/3 is not acceptable! I want to stay strong, walk the walk as well as talk the talk! & make the round a successful one. So, goals for this round;

    First and foremost, no feeding frenzies – I am not a shark or even a piranha!

    to weigh less at the end of the round than the start

    be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end

    I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.

    SW RND 289 143

    3/2 DNW – travelled home today. Walked 9.32 miles yesterday, was very engaged all day, thought very carefully before putting every bite in my mouth.

    3/3 142 – (trend 142.7) 6.83 miles walked, keeping the mindfulness going.

    3/4 142 – (trend 142.6) 10.13 miles walked, feeling strong.

    3/5 142 – (trend 142.5) 8.96 miles walked. Well in control of driving my life.

    3/6 141 – (trend 142.3) 9.41 miles walked, well chuffed with this morning’s number.

    3/7 140.6 – (trend 142.1) 10.24 miles walked. Amazing how it works when one sticks to the plan!

    3/8 140.4 – (trend 141.9) 8.91 miles walked.

    3/9 141.8 – (trend 141.9) 13.11 miles walked. Hoping this is last night’s pizza & high carbs, but within CICO. Tomorrow’s weigh in will be my end of round as will have no scales on Tuesday.

    3/10 DNW – up at 1.15 AM to fly to Rome; it would have been a false weight at that time. Taking yesterday’s number as end of this & start of next round; a 1.2 pound loss & more importantly feeling happier & more in control of myself than I was 10 days ago. Aim to take that positivity going forward. 11.05 miles walked.

    3/11. DNW - 12.18 miles walked. Rome is an amazing city!!

    👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!! 👍👍.
