    Fell off the challenge bandwagon in round 256, managed to keep losing weight until June 12th when I hit 155.9 (70.7 kg). I fell off the weight loss wagon shortly after. Decided to start back up the day before Round 278 started.

    SW Rnd 290: 144 (65.3 kg)

    3/12-  144.1 (65.4 kg)

    3/13- 144.7 (65.6 kg)

    3/14- 144.2 (65.4 kg)

    3/15- 142.6 (64.7 kg) I've used being tired and feeling worn down as an excuse to slip on my tracking (not tracking as I go) as well as missing the first three days of this round. I had two parties I attended today and went about 1050 calories over goal and about 650 over maintenance once I totalled everything up. I need to turn this ship around. Taking a few quiet minutes to post and read everyone else's posts is important. I think I do better when I'm part of a community of people supporting each other, all with their own successes, struggles, strategies and goals. Thank you all for being that community.

    3/16- 144 (65.3 kg)  8 hours of shopping for a cheap dress for mom prom with a friend. I found a $9 dress, but man am I worn out. Haven't shopped like that in years.

    3/17- 145.6 (66 kg) Delayed reaction to my overeating earlier this week? That's okay.Today was right on track. Onwards!

    Starting this round on a mini break in Rome, Thanks @quiltingjaine for keeping us going.

    SW 289 141.8

    3/12 DNW - a hectic 1st full day in Rome, a brisk walk across to Vatican City, a tour of St. Peter's Basilica including a climb up 550 steps to the top of the dome. In the afternoon we visited the Cistern Chapel & Vatican museums. A mind blowing day with the grandeur & amazing paintings. A tiring but satisfying 15.5 miles, 36.5K steps.

    3/13 DNW - 9.76 miles walked, a less hectic day, the Colosseum in the morning followed by a rainy afternoon on & around Palatino Hill.

    3/14 DNW - a very leisurely 14.56 miles walked yesterday, taking in The Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Victor Emmanuel monument, S. Pietro in Vincoli, Piazza Navona, Santa Maria Maggiore, Circus Maximus, a stroll along the river and the last gaze at the Colosseum. An amazing last day. No gelato; it was not warm enough! But luckily it stayed dry 😁.

    3/15 140.4 - (trend 141) wow! never returned from a holiday with a loss ever before!! Now to keep it.

    3/16 139.8 – (trend 140.9) thrilled at that! Hoping yesterdays was not a false low, but amazed to go down again, gives me a real buzz!! 7.31 miles walked.

    3/17 139.2 – (trend 140.6) 5.08 miles walked or should I say some was jogged next to little DGSs riding their bikes.

    3/18 140 – (trend 140.6) guessing just a normal fluctuation as have stuck to CICO since my return from Rome. 8.82 miles walked.

    3/19

    @astroamy I hear you about wind. I don't have a sailboat, therefore the wind is the enemy for every outdoor activity I enjoy. Biking, walking, fishing, hunting, (occasional) golfing and just sitting.

    This is my posting format….

    Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed. / Comment

    3/11/25 : 229.8 SW a day before.

    3/12: 229.4
    Dropped some weight even with some little failures along the way yesterday. I do remember specifically making some wise decisions when faced with a dilemma. What was the dilemma? (A.) Do I want to do that because I LOVE it and it would make me feel good right now from head to toe? Or (B.) Do I say no to it so I will feel better later from head to toe in a much better way?

    Just think what I (we) could do with FULL discipline for delayed gratification. It’s hard.

    3/13: 228.8
    Cautiously optimistic. I was better about choosing fruit and veggies yesterday.

    I just saw the email preview of today’s Rotary menu. Chicken Alfredo and bread sticks. Give me a break! Right now I am pre-logging the lettuce salad ONLY with no pasta and no dessert.

    3/14: 229.4
    I avoided the Alfredo at Rotary! And they had steamed broccoli and cauliflower. Had a couple snaccidents at home, but no biggies. The weather is so fantastic I took a 16+ mile bike ride. I am surprised how good the workout is on an eBike. No matter how much help I get, I can still push it til it hurts. Wind and hills still make a difference. I make a big sail in the wind. HA!

    Today’s challenge will be supper tonight. DW’s cousin coming for the weekend, not so much to see us but to have a place to stay while visiting her dad in the nursing home. (their farmstead is sold.) She is “repaying” us by taking us out for dinner tonight. Must. Avoid. The. French. Fries!

    3/15: 230.4
    Even though this is a bump up, I consider yesterday a victory overall. I rode 20+ miles on bike and took a bit of a strenuous hike later with DS and DGS in the woods. (we were kind lost for a while…exciting) The gain was because of eating. DS brought a between-meal snack to the hike and the restaurant last night had a special. Smoked Corned Beef and Cabbage. Had to try it.

    3/16: 228.6
    I need to kiss the “3” goodbye as my 2nd number. It is too depressing to see it popping up all the time. I am sure it will rear its ugly head for a while, but I am aiming for the “3” becoming a “1.” (then a zero, if I may be so bold?)

    3/17: 227.8
    Church all morning + funeral all afternoon = no real movement. So, I am happy for the drop. Probably getting benefits from all the moving I did last week with the warm weather.

    NSV, I am starting to chip away at some mid section flab. DW says my face is showing signs of progress too. I will use this to motivate me to greater things.

    3/18: 228.8
    I am not unhappy with this due to yesterday's logs. If I don’t strap it down today it could get away from me.

    65 year old female, 5'5"

    Goal Weight: Range from 140-145

    SW RND 290—151.4
    3/12 152 Carbs are not my friend! Was able to get in a good walk yesterday, though, which felt good. 8,145 steps. 📝 👣 
    3/13 150.4 Spent the day in the Smoky Mountains (my happy place) with hubby and DGD. Had a picnic and got in a little trail walking. Food was much more in control yesterday, and it shows. Hit my protein goal for the first time in a while and carbs were within range. 11,572 steps. 📝 👣 🌟🥩
    3/14 151.2 Not enough protein yesterday and too much salt. Took both grandkids to the zoo, so got in lots of activity although no real exercise. 10,366 steps. 📝 👣 🌟
    3/15 152.2 Up way too early today. Worked in my gardens all day long yesterday expanding flower beds, amending soil, etc. so got in my 10k steps and strength training in my yard. Very high protein day and carbs were well within range, so this uptick is a surprise. 10,676 steps. 📝 🥩 🏋🏼‍♀️ 🌟
    3/16 150.8 That’s better. Lots of rain and storms yesterday. Did better with nutrition but not enough protein to earn the steak emoji. What are some of your high protein snack ideas or lunch menus? Anyone care to share? I don't use protein powders and I guess I'm getting tired of my go-to yogurt, cottage cheese, hummus, etc. 6186 steps. 📝 👣
    3/17 150.6 Lots of working in the gardens (lifting, carrying bags of compost, etc.) yesterday and a neighborhood walk. Not enough protein overall, but a healthy nutrition day. 10,550 steps 📝 🏋🏼‍♀️ 👣 🌟
    3/18 151 Man, where did spring go??? Got in a good walk in the neighborhood and worked in the gardens more. 🏋🏼‍♀️ 👣 🌟

    Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 290
    March 12 – 21, 2025

    SW: 135.6

    3/12 – 135.6 Well I did not finish round 289 with the number that I wanted, though I saw it for two days prior. Then I did my mini binge (worthy ½ lb max) with lots of salt. Was hoping to come down quickly yesterday, but last night was out to eat. Calories (according to my tracking) were excellent. I am hoping/thinking I am still fighting with sodium. Today’s new variable will be that I am back to the gym and next session with the trainer. Was unable to find any of that “me” time during our family time together, but totally worth the trade off. My hope for this round is to clear the sodium, keep calories on track, be consistent with exercise, and I am hoping to not only get back to the 134.6, but to pass it and MAYBE see a “3” instead of that “4”. Let’s see.

    3/13 – 135.0  Five mile walk, and hour with personal trainer. I discussed with her how I think I am jumping in too quickly and risking injury, based on all the pains I am having. At the end, we shortened our time to do stretching. Wow! We discovered I have some real tightness issues. Interestingly, when I got home, some of those pains were gone. The stretching is key. Feeling some aches return this morning, so I likely should try some stretching today. 

    3/14 – 134.6 Yay! Back to my number from the 10th and 11th. Now to continue. I was good with diary yesterday, but chose to skip my morning walk (still have not gotten condo back together since guests) and was not a gym day. Today, I hope/plan to accomplish both. Hubby has been taken kite fishing for sailfish today, THEN we are heading to hear a band in the evening. Probably means I am facing a cocktail (will stick to my gin and tonic, or a white wine), and food (likely stick with my seared tuna tataki safety net). Need to keep this in mind for the first part of the day.

    3/15 – 134.4 Made it through the day yesterday! Walk got altered and ended up only 4 miles, but it was a fun walk. Got home and was to go to the gym, but decided to deal with cancelation of utilities on my mother’s property that is being sold on Tuesday. Glad I did as it was more time consuming than I expected and really had to happen before the weekend. I pretracked my evening, and used my calories accordingly during the day. IN the evening, my gin and tonic became an on-the-rocks margarita, which I only drank half due to its size. I had my tuna. Appetizers somehow got ordered for the table. I ate two shrimp and one cheese curd to be social. Seems to have worked out! Today has the potential for being normal!

    3/16 – 134.2 A bit of a gift. I got somewhat off track last evening after dinner, and I anticipated a .2 or .4 up. But I did accumulate more steps than usual (according to my apple devices), so maybe it was an even trade. Skipping my morning walk today in order to free up equivalent time to get to the gym. Doing both costs me about 3.5 hours that day, and that is not working out.

    3/17 – 134.2 skipped the walk but did the gym, 10 min warm up on the threadmill followed by an hour with equipment. Diet was good but slightly over.

    3/18 – 134.0 I survived St. Patrick’s day. Corned beef, cabbage and potatoes!

    03/16-191.4- (Trend Weight: 194.6)

    03/17-192.2- (Trend Weight: 194.3) What in the heck is going on already? Another jump on the scale! 2 days in a row higher and both days I was in perfect numbers with calories and carbs! TMI good today. The only thing I can think of is that I got a brand new PC due to my Windows being outdated and not supported starting Oct 2025. I am sitting A LOT of sitting as I reorganize everything that was moved by memory stick from my old computer. Lack of movement and probably lack of water makes more difference than I even realized perhaps! Travel today for 6 month eye re-check with specialist after finding some serious things last fall. Long trip so there will be lots of sitting and restaurant food. I didn’t need this unexpected increase on the scale today! Happy St. Patrick’s day everyone! Stay safe and have some fun!

    🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 03/18-194.8- (Trend Weight: 193.4) @quiltingjaine, Yes I do see now where the increase probably came from. Confusing since sometimes (most times) it’s the very next day. Which leads me to today….. I expected an increase due to the various typical travel reasons but HOLY COW! My son chose Golden Corral for dinner. Every single thing I put in my mouth tasted like the lid fell off the salt shaker. I could only eat a few bites of each thing due to the saltiness but it adds up apparently. Honestly, I think the main problem was that I spent too much time at the dessert bar. Coupled with all the sitting as it was a very long day trip (not home until well after dark), I shouldn’t expect anything less than what I got. Today will need to be a banner day. Prayers and excitement for our Astronauts returning home this evening! Let’s hope for an uncomplicated re-entry and splash landing!

    03/19-xxxxx- (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    03/20-xxxxx- (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    03/21-xxxxx- (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

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

    @_JeffreyD_ I know, wind just makes everything difficult. Today is supposed to be really windy and I am worried about my husband, who is driving today to the city and when it is very windy there is a stretch of road that there is so much dust and sand blowing the visibility really drops. It is practically a dust storm. Ugh! I am ready for these winds to be over.

    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 290  135.0

    3/12 135.0 Yesterday did 40 minutes at the gym OMAD - In-n-Out - 4 or 5 small super crisp fries (YUM!) and a Double Double Protein style, no spread, light lettuce and onion. No TMI x 2

    3/13  136.0  Yesterday we had 2 guys from the ‘hood put up ceiling fans with lights.  My sewing room previously had no light so I’m hoping this will breathe new life into my sewing spirit. In the afternoon I took the batteries for my Vivofit 4 to the jeweler (microscopic screws - worth having him do it) and then got a manicure. I had a headache and skipped the board meeting. Apologies for the longish post - this is my diary.

    3/14  135.5 DH and neighbor guy went to Golden Corral for lun-ner. I had a beef patty (Sam’s) and a serving of broccoli with butter. If my dad was still around, this would be his 120th birthday. Hard to believe he’s been gone 32 years. 

    3/15  135.0  Great Greek today. 

    3/16  134.5  Getting together with my quilting friends this morning.

    3/17  135.0 Mimosas with the ladies yesterday morning. 3/18  135.5 Lots of carbs yesterday-finished the Raisin Bran crumbs and ate four prunes, 3.5 oz steak and asparagus for dinner and protein shake.

    Fell off the challenge bandwagon in round 256, managed to keep losing weight until June 12th when I hit 155.9 (70.7 kg). I fell off the weight loss wagon shortly after. Decided to start back up the day before Round 278 started.

    SW Rnd 290: 144 (65.3 kg)

    3/12-  144.1 (65.4 kg)

    3/14- 144.2 (65.4 kg)

    3/15- 142.6 (64.7 kg) I've used being tired and feeling worn down as an excuse to slip on my tracking (not tracking as I go) as well as missing the first three days of this round. I had two parties I attended today and went about 1050 calories over goal and about 650 over maintenance once I totalled everything up. I need to turn this ship around. Taking a few quiet minutes to post and read everyone else's posts is important. I think I do better when I'm part of a community of people supporting each other, all with their own successes, struggles, strategies and goals. Thank you all for being that community.

    3/16- 144 (65.3 kg)  8 hours of shopping for a cheap dress for mom prom with a friend. I found a $9 dress, but man am I worn out. Haven't shopped like that in years.

    3/17- 145.6 (66 kg) Delayed reaction to my overeating earlier this week? That's okay. Today was right on track. Onwards!

    3/18- 145.2 (65.9 kg) A slow descent. We're having a team lunch tomorrow so I'm already planning on soup for dinner since it can be filling and low calorie.

    3/19 DNW I’m taking it easy on myself with the scale after cake day. I’m back on track but DH is being a bad influence. He is still on his continual 12hr work days since March 1st. He’s definitely using food for feelings. Cranky bear who just wants to eat pancakes. But doesn’t want to eat them alone.

    I plan to weigh at the end of this round and hope to break even. I knew this round would be a stall for me. I’m super committed to getting back to making progress. I’m not going to let one little celebration weekend throw me off.

    Round 290 Posts
    This is my posting format….

    Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed. / Comment

    3/11/25 : 229.8 SW a day before.

    3/12: 229.4
    Dropped some weight even with some little failures along the way yesterday. I do remember specifically making some wise decisions when faced with a dilemma. What was the dilemma? (A.) Do I want to do that because I LOVE it and it would make me feel good right now from head to toe? Or (B.) Do I say no to it so I will feel better later from head to toe in a much better way?

    Just think what I (we) could do with FULL discipline for delayed gratification. It’s hard.

    3/13: 228.8
    Cautiously optimistic. I was better about choosing fruit and veggies yesterday.

    I just saw the email preview of today’s Rotary menu. Chicken Alfredo and bread sticks. Give me a break! Right now I am pre-logging the lettuce salad ONLY with no pasta and no dessert.

    3/14: 229.4
    I avoided the Alfredo at Rotary! And they had steamed broccoli and cauliflower. Had a couple snaccidents at home, but no biggies. The weather is so fantastic I took a 16+ mile bike ride. I am surprised how good the workout is on an eBike. No matter how much help I get, I can still push it til it hurts. Wind and hills still make a difference. I make a big sail in the wind. HA!

    Today’s challenge will be supper tonight. DW’s cousin coming for the weekend, not so much to see us but to have a place to stay while visiting her dad in the nursing home. (their farmstead is sold.) She is “repaying” us by taking us out for dinner tonight. Must. Avoid. The. French. Fries!

    3/15: 230.4
    Even though this is a bump up, I consider yesterday a victory overall. I rode 20+ miles on bike and took a bit of a strenuous hike later with DS and DGS in the woods. (we were kind lost for a while…exciting) The gain was because of eating. DS brought a between-meal snack to the hike and the restaurant last night had a special. Smoked Corned Beef and Cabbage. Had to try it.

    3/16: 228.6
    I need to kiss the “3” goodbye as my 2nd number. It is too depressing to see it popping up all the time. I am sure it will rear its ugly head for a while, but I am aiming for the “3” becoming a “1.” (then a zero, if I may be so bold?)

    3/17: 227.8
    Church all morning + funeral all afternoon = no real movement. So, I am happy for the drop. Probably getting benefits from all the moving I did last week with the warm weather.

    NSV, I am starting to chip away at some mid section flab. DW says my face is showing signs of progress too. I will use this to motivate me to greater things.

    3/18: 228.8
    I am not unhappy with this due to yesterday's logs. If I don’t strap it down today it could get away from me.

    3/19: 228.0
    Good day yesterday. +17 miles on the bike and I ate reasonably. Going to be wet today. Loved watching the astronaut splashdown yesterday, on the predicted minute! This is the only time when perfectionism is a good thing.

    3/19 not enough 🥩, 1425 cals. 🎾 2 hrs. Slept well. Getting back in groove. 

    Filed appeal yesterday. Hearing isn’t until May 20 so we have a breather.  I’ve learned TOO MUCH about city politics / backdoor deals. On one hand,  we knew this going in, but on the other, this is our town we’re trying to save, we have to do everything possible.  Quite proud of the work we’ve done.

    Food, Health? I completely blew off almost everything that I thought had become  a “healthy habit” during this time. I was a walking zombie.  While I didn’t over- indulge, I ate foods that did not agree with me (no planning) and I felt “off” the entire time. Let me walk that back… Not that long ago, I would’ve had a cocktail every now and then  and certainly weekends, after working hard, etc. but not at all this past month… didn’t even think about it! Now that is a great NSV!  The difference between how I felt 2/5-3/14 vs my routine: eating whole food/ walking/exercising/ 🙏quiet time / journaling/ … There’s just no comparison. I was in willful disobedience - I felt incapable of shifting gears and even giving one hour to myself. I’m hoping I can learn from this. It felt like I was in “exams” … Crunch time, do or die,  some sort of sprint that everything else you just forget about. Self- created stress. This was quite a familiar zone that I was always in throughout my career… When you’re in it, you don’t realize what you’re doing. You’re just focused on the goal. The deadline.  

    Would, I do it over again? Yes. But I wish I would’ve had a buddy that would’ve grabbed me & said, “STOP, Lets go for a walk. …” STOP, plan your meals…. DH was very supportive of the work that I had to get done… But didn’t “catch” that I wasn’t taking care of myself. He was used to this mode as well… Anyway…

    I share because I was in some sort of an addiction… I told myself I couldn’t shift gears… Perhaps someone out there struggling with same. But I really wasn’t helpless at all… I simply fell back to default mode - what was comfortable instead of consciously deploying what I had learned. I’m never far away from old habits. 

    I scheduled a 90 minute massage today after 🎾 and I’m looking forward to a long walk as well. ✅Food logged and planned.

    Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 290
    March 12 – 21, 2025

    SW: 135.6

    3/12 – 135.6 Well I did not finish round 289 with the number that I wanted, though I saw it for two days prior. Then I did my mini binge (worthy ½ lb max) with lots of salt. Was hoping to come down quickly yesterday, but last night was out to eat. Calories (according to my tracking) were excellent. I am hoping/thinking I am still fighting with sodium. Today’s new variable will be that I am back to the gym and next session with the trainer. Was unable to find any of that “me” time during our family time together, but totally worth the trade off. My hope for this round is to clear the sodium, keep calories on track, be consistent with exercise, and I am hoping to not only get back to the 134.6, but to pass it and MAYBE see a “3” instead of that “4”. Let’s see.

    3/13 – 135.0  Five mile walk, and hour with personal trainer. I discussed with her how I think I am jumping in too quickly and risking injury, based on all the pains I am having. At the end, we shortened our time to do stretching. Wow! We discovered I have some real tightness issues. Interestingly, when I got home, some of those pains were gone. The stretching is key. Feeling some aches return this morning, so I likely should try some stretching today. 

    3/14 – 134.6 Yay! Back to my number from the 10th and 11th. Now to continue. I was good with diary yesterday, but chose to skip my morning walk (still have not gotten condo back together since guests) and was not a gym day. Today, I hope/plan to accomplish both. Hubby has been taken kite fishing for sailfish today, THEN we are heading to hear a band in the evening. Probably means I am facing a cocktail (will stick to my gin and tonic, or a white wine), and food (likely stick with my seared tuna tataki safety net). Need to keep this in mind for the first part of the day.

    3/15 – 134.4 Made it through the day yesterday! Walk got altered and ended up only 4 miles, but it was a fun walk. Got home and was to go to the gym, but decided to deal with cancelation of utilities on my mother’s property that is being sold on Tuesday. Glad I did as it was more time consuming than I expected and really had to happen before the weekend. I pretracked my evening, and used my calories accordingly during the day. IN the evening, my gin and tonic became an on-the-rocks margarita, which I only drank half due to its size. I had my tuna. Appetizers somehow got ordered for the table. I ate two shrimp and one cheese curd to be social. Seems to have worked out! Today has the potential for being normal!

    3/16 – 134.2 A bit of a gift. I got somewhat off track last evening after dinner, and I anticipated a .2 or .4 up. But I did accumulate more steps than usual (according to my apple devices), so maybe it was an even trade. Skipping my morning walk today in order to free up equivalent time to get to the gym. Doing both costs me about 3.5 hours that day, and that is not working out.

    3/17 – 134.2 skipped the walk but did the gym, 10 min warm up on the threadmill followed by an hour with equipment. Diet was good but slightly over.

    3/18 – 134.0 I survived St. Patrick’s day. Corned beef, cabbage and potatoes!

    3/19 – 133.4 Not sure it this will manage to get posted on the right day. Internet and cable are down due to the fires at the top of the Florida keys. Yesterday, I skipped the walk, but had a session with the trainer. Watched my tracking. Little higher than I target (like 1600 cal), but I was solidly hungry. It was not a craving. Last two days are going to be tricky. Today is the second of our bi-weekly 2 hour cocktails and food by the pool. I should be able to handle it ok. Then tomorrow night (perfect timing right), we have a 5 course wine dinner than we signed up for back in January. Why does it have to be the last night of the round? Argh!!

    (HOT SPOTTING TO MY PHONE WORKED, EVEN THOUGH I CANNOT ACCESS MOST WEBSITES. WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE NEWS ATM.)
