    @Smoda61 ~ OH MY!!! $65 for an appetizer. It reminds me of a restaurant visit. Sometimes when you look online, they will show cost of $ or $$$ or $$$… This particular restaurant did show $$$ but there were no prices listed on the online menu (the first clue).

    We arrived and almost fell out when we saw the prices of everything. We were too embarrassed just to get up and leave. It wasn't thier fault, we should have done our homework.

    We ordered a cocktail and our entree, and we ate every BLT~ :)

    Hey, the "quote" kinda worked :)

    3/22 A new day, a new start. Yesterday was a solid day. Ate less than maintenance but more that (-300 kcal) = 1350. Won my tennis match and had a relaxing day.  I’ve been putting off purchasing a new laptop for several years (mine is 15+ years old!!!!).  Bit the bullet and purchased a new MacBook Pro.  So…. I’ll be fiddling with that for the next few days. (One addiction to the next!) Make sure to get in my 10k and lifting this morning. Headed out of town to see a friend on the end-side of ALS.  Helps keep life in perspective.  Stay present and live moment by moment!


    3/23 I fell apart at my friends house… I ate a sandwich / cookies /pound cake and then last night DH and I ate Mexican… Margarita plus chips. Crazy. So I will start again today!


    3/24 ⚖️ much better day, but ate rice at dinner … Therefore carbs up. Ate at maintenance (1400). Protein✅. Pleased to complete🏋️‍♀️ for the first time in over a month. Noticeably weaker…

    Today will be a full day. 🙆‍♀️🚶‍♀️💓 already. Up early to beat the rain.💪🏻   Will complete a 24-hour fast today.… May do a 36. Taking it 12 hours at a time (Not to lose weight but to regenerate cells and give my system a break!) Planning a 72-hour by Easter. 


    3/25 ⚖️? No clue-not even going to try to explain that one… all I can say is 🏋️‍♀️ two days in a row? Maybe not enough 💦💦💦? Sore. But… I had a great day yesterday! 24 hr fast. OMAD  🥩115g. 750 kcals. Well balanced. Will try same today. Big 🎾match this morning- to win division & head to state💪🏻 Still trying to stay in the moment. Self-discipline battles are real.


    3/26 Solid day. No OMAD but ate at noon and 6pm - back on IF 16/8. 🥩125g. 💦💦💦. 10 carbs 1300 kcals. Chauffeuring DGS this week. Yesterday we got to play an hour of basketball. He is such a joy.


    I won my 🎾 match, my team won our 🎾match & we won the 🎾division by ONE SET. It was crazy close. This was over eight matches since January - a roller-coaster season… including snow, freeze-outs & rain-outs. State is 4/11-4/13. Will be fun. It’s a pleasure to be involved in an adult league … I enjoy the competition and friendships. We have a couple of ladies at our club in their mid 80s & playing incredible tennis - they are phenomenal. An inspiration! #agingyoung #ENGAGED

    📣#bestshapeofmylife 📣


    3/27 another good day yesterday with more tennis. I’ve been overly tired lately, so I need to pay attention to that. Posting late. Had a wonderful 90 minute walk this morning. Took care of a lot of business today and I am ready for a good night sleep! ✅🥩💦


    3/28. DNW because I woke up at 3:30 AM. I’m overly tired. Will take it easy today. I will focus on staying in the present and making good choices. and then, I thought I posted and realized I didn’t post! I’m just not feeling myself and can’t figure it out just yet. It’s a combination of meh & very low energy due to sporadic sleep patterns. I’m not complaining. This will pass!

    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 291(my 221st). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.

    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.

    Yes that's happened to me & also sometimes when I press the quote I also get an empty box, it happened twice on this occasion?

    MFP have exceeded themselves this time on their "improvements" , one should never mend something that is not broke, causes so many problems!!!! 😭

    03/29 177.2 I have developed certain tree pollen allergies late in life and yesterday was extreme. I had always been a bit dismissive of the allergy sufferers- how bad could some itchy eyes be and few sneezes???
    I had no idea about the headache and fatigue. That “itchy eyes” is an understatement for itchy entire inside of your skull. Sneezing isn’t terrible but feeling like you are on the verge of sneezing non stop is one of the levels of hell.

    I accomplished almost nothing yesterday. The only upside is the complete lack of appetite. Today is a new day and I’ve started off with a non drowsy allergy medication. Fingers crossed this helps.

    I need to accomplish a few things on my “difficult so I procrastinate” list.

    @musicsax I have been wondering about the "why" for these improvements. I have to assume it's "follow the money", but what cost is there to an editor. I have no idea.

    This is my posting format….

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

    3/21/25 : 227.8 SW a day before.

    3/22: 227.4
    Good morning at the gym yesterday, otherwise most of the rest of the day was parked in front of the boob tube watching NCAA basketball. TV is a trigger for me to eat a little snick-snack here and there. Kept it to a dull roar although there was some failure.

    I have a 50th High School class reunion this September. (I know, some of you weren’t born yet in 1975. Maybe for some of you, your parents weren’t born yet. HA!!!)I want to be at my goal weight before that.

    3/23: 227.4
    Second verse, same as the first (but without gym.)

    We did have a diversion. Friends celebrated their marriage with a little reception yesterday. A happy story. Kayak and fishing theme, hokey but fun. We each got our own little cup of “bait.” Gummy worms and frogs. I just sat there grazing on those worse-than-worthless snacks.

    Oh, and we are looking at upgrading our vehicle to a 7 passenger what-cha-ma-call-it. It’s not a van, it’s not an SUV. There are times where it would be nice to get another 2 couples into the car for a dinner (or something) out, or, to pile the kids and grandkids in for an outing. Here is the problem. To get into that third row it’s a combination of mountain climbing, yoga and spelunking. If one of them is wearing a skirt everyone else needs to wear a blindfold. Quite the task for our older friends (and for DW and me.) Maybe we should just punt and buy a Prius.

    3/24: 229.0
    This bump should have happened yesterday, but we all know about delayed penalties for misbehavior. Yesterday my fitbit/pixel watch says I burned 11 calories. 11!

    Seeking no system errors today!

    3/25: 227.8
    Ate a hair (or an entire mullet) too much yesterday, but rocked the exercise.

    And, we bought the what-cha-ma-call-it. Used Subaru Ascent. We will likely be passing the Outback down to the kiddos for the benefit and safety of the grand kiddos. (our real motivation for a new car)

    I saw a pickup truck in the showroom yesterday with a sticker price of $114,000! Limited edition. They had just sold it for $125,000. There was a bidding war evidently.

    3/26: 227.4
    Microscopic changes but trending downward.

    Today’s challenge: A couple lunch friends and I will be touring a local frozen pizza plant (small) run by another friend. They have a regional market, not quite national yet. Then it’s pizza for lunch at the plant.

    3/27: 228.0
    I am right in the middle of a 3-day (3-round) pizza wrestling match, today being DW’s birthday.

    Yesterday I was taken down at the pizza factory tour. I was able to offset it because of my morning spinning class where my average heart rate for 45 minutes was 135. I was sucker punched by a piece of (Marie Callendar) cherry pie I baked for DW.

    Today is Rotary. Deep dish pizza on the menu. This day has the best chance of success.

    Tomorrow will be ridiculous. I have a slim chance of not being pinned. On the last Friday of each month after class, our gym class goes out for lunch at Pizza Ranch of all places. (Pizza, Fried Chicken, Salad Bar) Then, to celebrate DW we are taking the kiddos and my mom to a Chinese buffet for supper. On the bright side I should be able to get out for a good ride or long hike (or both) on a warm windy day.

    Once again I am “beset” with first-world problems.

    3/28: 230.0
    Ugh! Oooph! The “bill” for the 26th and 27th just came due.

    Last minute plans yesterday for DW’s birthday. We went out for dinner at the local, very good, BBQ place. I could have pre-logged my order; I didn’t. I could have ordered salad for my side dish; I didn’t. I could have had a light beer; I didn’t. I could have had only one beer; I didn’t. I could have kept my paws off DW’s french fry pile (she invited me in); I didn’t. After all of this I could have logged it all; I didn’t.

    Could have; would have; should have!

    Has anyone ever pre-logged a buffet? (two of them staring me in the face today) When will I learn that celebration does not need to involve eating until I am literally full? And on a side note, when will I take inflammation seriously?

    3/29: 231.8
    I wanted to just write DNW, but there it is for all to see. This is literally 4.4 pounds over last Saturday. What is “it?” It is not all me, but rather what is currently retained in my body. Hoping for a purge by round’s end. Not an excuse.

    I got a lot of exercise yesterday too, there is a positive note.

    There is another opportunity for will power tonight at one more Birthday Party for DW at a friend’s house.

    41F, 5’3

    RSW - 131.8lbs
    RGW - 130.8lbs

    Goals -
    1. Eat in calorie limits
    2. Get active
    3. Drink lots of water

    3/22 - DNW
    3/23 - DNW
    3/24 - 131.8 lbs. I am tired of losing same weight over and over. Had long work trip, celebrations at home, spring break and just gave up on balanced lifestyle in between these events. After a month of negligence, I am feeling worse and out of control. I feel heavy to sleep at night with heartburns and generally slow and unmotivated during the day. Time to get back on track and stick to the program.

    3/25 - 130.9 lbs. Stuck to planned eating and stopped myself as I started to binge. Keeping initial goals easy until I get comfortable with getting on track.

    3/26 - 130.3 lbs. Ate planned meals, stuck to healthy carbs, high protein meals, 10K steps and 10c of water

    3/27 - 130 lbs. Ate planned meals, stuck to healthy carbs, high protein meals, 10 K steps, 12c water. Avoided sweets and chips at office and avoided drinking socially after hours.

    3/28 - 130 lbs. Ate planned meals, did snack a bit unplanned but limited it and kept it healthy, high protein, controlled carbs, 10K steps, 12c water. Need to mkae sure I keep this momentum during weekend.

    3/29 - 129.2. Ate planned meals, controlled snacking, fasted for part of the day, 12c water, 10K steps. I feel like this weight drop is inconsistent and might be showing because of fasting. Need to stick to my guns through weekend.

    And I think “they” don’t care in the least that we aren’t happy. Maybe they’re trying to get rid of us. I have modified my posts so much but I keep each round separate until the end then add it to what I used to post. The only thing I change on what shows here is eliminating a lot of extra spaces!

    @Chapter_3 Just look in each morning and make a mark‼️ You have been inspiring to all of us. I don’t know what’s going on with your world, I may have missed the backstory when we were cruising. I’m sorry, I will continue to pray for situation. 🤗❤️

    3/23   136.0  I indulged in a glass of whiskey in the evening to which I added salted caramel SF Torani and water.

    3/24  136.0

    3/25  135.0  Our oldest grandson who got engaged on New Year’s Day called last night to let us know the wedding is August 23 in Kona. My DH does not like to fly.

    3/26  134.5  My plan is working so far. Yah ha ha (evil laugh) 

    3/27  133.5  😁 Now if I could get my lazy self out of the chair and do something. 

    3/28. 134.0  Ate later than I like due to DH being in a meeting. And no TMI.

    3/29  134.0  DH went to GC with friend so I could continue my modified “fast.” I changed my macros. Tonight (well after my eating window) we’re taking a new neighbor who works until 5, to barbecue. 🤦‍♀️ I will order my regular burnt ends and bring most of them home.

    03/27-195.6- (Trend Weight: 194.9)

    03/28-DNW- (Trend Weight: DNW) No weigh Friday. I finally broke down and called an HVAC company. We don’t have one local so it will be a bit more expensive due to travel time. The plan is that they will diagnose the problem or part we need, we can order it and my handyman can put it in. He has done some furnace repair in the past and even worked for an HVAC company for a short time before he moved here to our remote area. I hope for an answer today and a repair soon. In the meantime I am babying out heat at 66 degrees (it works pretty good if I don’t ask for more). It’s still very snowy and cold here in Northern Michigan so that is not a comfortable temp but it’s keeping the pipes from freezing and keeping the cat comfortable, especially when I turn on the Eden Pure for a bit to warm up her space. My bed is still in the living room because of the reno so she stays snuggled up on top and lets the Eden Pure rock her world. My son has a little ceramic blower on him most of the time in his basement apartment so he is okay. Praying for answers today! Pebbles is counting on me!

    🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 03/29-196.4- (Trend Weight: 195.2) I had the HVAC company come out. My handyman dealt with them. It seems my heat exchanger is cracked which can leak the Carbon Monoxide into the house. They tested the exhaust pipe’s Carbon Monoxide numbers and they were astronomical so they have told me not to coax it on, not even for a second to get the chill out of the house. So cold here and using little ceramic heaters and an Eden Pure but honestly they don’t help much. They’ve ordered the new system but it won’t be here until at least Wednesday. They will probably come out shortly after that. So several more days at the very least and the weatherman is saying it’s only going to get colder in the coming days. We had an ice storm last night. Tree limbs are all over the yard. What more could a girl ask for? Ugh! Scale up because I’ve been staying under the covers and too cold or lazy to cook. Just sandwiches and TV dinners and supplemented with all the “approved” snacks. I’ll try harder today on the meals.

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

Weird how the scale didn't move for 3 days and then suddenly down 2lbs. Not complaining by any means. Today is on track, been to the gym and rings almost closed, so it will be a good day. It's "date" night and we are going to sushi later and a concert.

    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 291(my 221st). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.

    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.

    Spoiler Warning

    @Chapter_3 you probably won't read this, but I'm posting anyway increase you do; yes this group is also about supporting each other, but it works both ways, not just for you to provide that support for others, but also to receive support when you need it, and you need it right now 🤗.

    Trying to send some comforting support your way & please take some time to look after yourself 💐❤️.

    @deepwoodslady - so many things being thrown at you yet again, I'm really hoping that once this latest set back with the heating system is sorted that things will start to get easier for you. Try to be easy on yourself but take the time to look after your needs properly💐🤗🥰.
