5/04 DNW5/05 DNW I’m not ready to see it!! Weekends have been a major stumble for me and I need to stop treating them like a free for all. I won’t recover from this one as easily since it’s going to rain all week so I won’t be working.
I am so close to making progress. This is the time of year that I can put in the least effort and lose weight. I can’t waste the downhill!!!My inner hedonist needs a good talking to!

ust Give Me 10 Days – Round 295
May 1 - 10, 2025
SW: 129.2
5/1 - 129.0 Down a touch more. I made it to Planet Fitness yesterday. Tracking was excellent. Today will be a local morning walk. Unpacking still underway. I told hubby to give me through Sunday to get things in order. Some more dresses arrived at my front door yesterday. I am starting to learn what looks better on me and what I been to avoid. Sizing is confusing as it changes with designer (is that really a surprise). Would be great if whatever I find only needs hem work.
5/2 – 130.0 Did a great walk yesterday. Was spot on for calories all day, until later evening. I knowingly ate extra food. I will say that it was nice not waking up hungry this morning, as has often been the case this last month. Scale making me pay for it, but today is going to be a good day.
5/3 – 130.8 This is what happens with a second day of that same bad behavior. And, yesterday had no exercise. Still getting the house in order and unpacking boxes from the truck.
5/4 – 129.6 No exercise, but spot on for calories. Need to make sure this slippage in exercise does not continue. It is ok if there are a few days off as I settle back in, but I have the habit of dropping my exercise when I return home in May.
5/5 – 129.6 No exercise again. It was a complicated day, and limited access to food options. Made it challenging as I spent a lot of time overly hunger (like hours worth) and then once a meal was available, I ate and tracked, but had such a difficult time getting the hunger to go away. It was so very hard not to binge in order to quiet it. I made it through, and that is good enough. No damage. Ultimately, I will be happy if I close this round still in the 129s.

5/1 132.4 Major goal this round is to start 🏋️♂️⏱️by mid-round. I’ve had a a few good days strung together, so let’s keep up this momentum… And, just a few more days of rest and I will conquer! Definitely want to fully eliminate 🎢 behaviors. Stay even. Continue 🙆♀️🚶♀️💓💦🏆(WOE: Whole Food, single ingredient nutrition). Choose my identity (mindset) and live it. #HSF #bestshapeofmylife #ENGAGED #agingyounger
5/2 132.8 Great until dinner out with friends last night. Mexican with all the trimmings. NSV: I didn’t over-eat. Just ate a small portion of 💩(chips & salsa & cheese dip). After the evening, I noticed that I never truly had the correct mindset going into dinner - deep down I knew I was going to explore the chips and salsa. I didn’t strap on my #HSF identity going into dinner. That’s an “after the fact NSV”- never would’ve recognized previously. Nuanced thought process. Start again today !!
5/3 132.8 more routine, though tempted to eat larger portions and refrained. That’s a great NSV! Solid hydration and nutrition. Protein 🥩 100g. Kept 💦 with me all day. Good night sleep! Oh, a fox crossed right in front of me on my walk… So fast! Onward!
5/4 131.6 solid day yesterday slowly getting back into a good routine. IF, whole food, single ingredient, 🥩 💦 for the win.
Walking this morning. This afternoon is a baby shower for our granddaughter, Eleanor, due June 26. I am going to strap on my #HSF identity! Food is fuel! 💪🏻
PS- I can tell that I’ve lost muscle / strength from not 🚫 since February… I’m looking forward to 🏋️♂️ & body weight & core exercises tomorrow! (my R tricep is still giving me a few issues - will start on lower body). Have a great Sunday everyone . Get it done!! #HSF
5/5 132.0 woke up at 2:30AM got up at 4:30AM. Decided to ⚖️because I was curious… it’s simply too darn early! Lovely afternoon at the baby shower! I ate more carbs than expected, but did not overindulge. Today: same plan - let’s put it in action!
(oh, I heard from the neighbor yesterday and she’s delivering a formal purchase offer this morning!) 🙏 I really hope the offer is close to asking… We sincerely want them to get this property. She is in her mid 70s and her husband is 80. He has early onset dementia so their future is uncertain. They own the large house / property across the street - pool, huge yard, etc. They want to move into our small cottage and her son with three children would buy her house. She shared w/ me that she would play at our cottage with her friend when she was eight years old! It would be perfect for them! 🙏

I don’t think I’ve ever spoken about our two darling mischievous critters with this group… Otis is the big boy and TaterBear is the little girl in front. Tater was just diagnosed with stage two skin cancer and is going in this morning for surgery… I’m not too worried about it just yet but it puts her future at risk… BTW-she is 1/2 tater-tot and 1/2 teddy bear! (TaterBear) Love 💕 these two so much!!

This is my posting format….Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed. (Calories-In yesterday)/ Comment
4/30/25 : 225.2 SW a day before.
5/1: 227.4 (?CI)
This SW on the 30th is an anomaly (low) but I will try harder than I did yesterday to beat it. Although I had a very vigorous spin class, my snacking was a bit (a lot) over the top and I did not log it all.Tromping through the woods again this morning. It will be a lot of steps, in a bit of rain. Woof woof! I wish I had the same tenacity for Calories-In as I do for Calories-Out. During spin class I was unstoppable. I like to picture myself breaking away from the peloton, leaving them in the dust. I left it ALL on the bike. How can I bring the same energy to my eating discipline?
5/2: 226.8 (1798 CI)
Eating was good yesterday. Exercise was over the top good, for my legs anyway.Here is something I am grateful for. I just thought of this. THANK YOU ALL FOR KEEPING POLITICS OUT OF THIS GROUP!!!!! I have never noticed any. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! It is so important to focus on the main purpose of this group and not get tangled up in divisive side issues. That is all.
5/3: 227.4 (1844 CI)
Dreadful dinner out last night.5/4: 228.4 (2087 CI)
At least I got a bit of exercise by mowing the grass and walking. Just too chilly and windy for me to enjoy a bike ride. Not all CI are equal. I gave platform to the wrong ones yesterday.5/5: 225.8 (2140 CI)
I don’t understand this at all…. CI were high but tightly bunched. We had beef and noodles for lunch, then went to a graduation party at 2:30, where we had “second lunch” (kind of like second breakfast Frodo) which included ice cream. At least it was only popcorn for supper.Speaking of LOTR, there are times when I am like Gollum and food is “my precious.” It’s not pretty.

UGW- 135
RGW:135Thank you @quiltingjaine 🌸
5/2-137-Today marks 30 pounds I’ve lost since November 1st. Everyone is different, but what works for me is this: I listened to The Plant Paradox and The Longevity Pradox each by Dr. Gundry. I did not buy any of his products, but paid attention to his way of eating (not religiously, but 90% of the time). I also started making kefir and yogurt (which are fermented food and easy to do) out of goats milk. I did not have time to exercise due to the holidays, but still lost the weight. All that this way of eating has done for me, is take the bad carbs out and I feel so good. His way of eating, is avoiding lectins and treating fruit like candy and only eating it on the weekends. I was making fruit smoothies every morning and gaining weight and something had to stop, so I tried this and feel good. Yes, I still go out to eat Mexican food, but I only eat 1/4 of the basket of chips and do not have rice and beans with my taco and tostada. I am not trying to get anyone to follow this because I now we are all different. It’s just what works for me.
Off to play pickle ball then exercise the horse.5/3-136
5/4-RTW (Refuse To Weigh)
5/5-140-And that is the result of eating what ever I wanted to over the weekend. It will probably take half of the week to get back to my Saturday AM. weight.

5/1 134.5 Going to Golden Corral today. UGH
5/2 135.5 That’s probably the weight of the piece of fried chicken I ate. It was a large breast. I am disgusted with myself AND with DH. My trigger finger is acting up again and I have a headache - migraine or sinus???
5/3 135.0 Jimmy John’s #8 Unwich for lunch/OMAD yesterday
5/4 134.0 Very stressful day yesterday. DH has put some $$ in a “safe place” and it is SO SAFE that he spent all day yesterday looking for it! It is still MIA.
5/5 135.0 Great Greek for lunch yesterday. Small Greek salad with chicken and steak souvlaki- approximately 6 ounces of meat divided between early lunch and supper.

Greatful to everyone for being here as I flake in and out. I'm trying to re-establish the good habits that I've let go.
Goals this time around:
Post daily especially when it's not convenient
Exercise for a minimum 500 calorie burn daily
Hold calories down and build meals around quality protein and fats
This was once normal but now it's a goal. Consistency for the next three rounds should get me back to normal.
Best Wishes for SUCCESS Everyone. Yes We Can!
SW Rnd 295 - 153.0 lbs
5/1 - 152.8 lbs
Good start today. Posting now is not convenient but I'm doing it any way. Hope to hit the gym and handle the day's meals before sunrise. I need a win today. A bit of order to the chaos and meeting today's goals would be a big win.
5/2 - 152.8 lbs
Yesterday's good start didn't last and today began poorly. 🤞 I can clean this up and end well.
Thanks so much for the support and mentions since I've returned. You nudge me in the right direction when I'd rather miss behave.
5/3 - 155.0 lbs
Shame on me! Nothing but misbehaving and the scale proves it. I could see it in my ankles first.
Not hitting my targets so far. No mercy and no excuses. Must do right!
5/4 - 152.8 lbs
Still bloated due to bad eating. Way off every mark would be an accurate description yet I have improved. Only miniscule, but still better.
These goals I've set are ridiculously easy. My plan is to work my way back to normal. Why do I feel like I've outlined an arduous feat never before considered by mankind? This is crossing the border into stupidity.
Warning to self: Life may hand me chaos but I don't need to let this chaos take over unrelated areas of my life.
5/5 - 151.6 lbs
I've got the steroid crazies. Just call me Evil-leen 👹. Still working on getting my act together. My best health will make managing any situation easier.

Hey everyone! I'm a mom of two. I Gave birth 5 months ago and have been feeling not so great about my physical appearance/health. I feel sluggish, my clothes feel are ill fitting. I'm honestly NOT ready ro make a full turn around but I feel like this is an excellent stepping stone to get me more motivated and into a routine. I've already made small changes like NOT adding sugar to my morning coffee and I'm gonna try to do 30mins of jump roping everyday. Hoping for the best!
F37, 5'3, SW- 182lbs UGW- 140 lbs

5/4- 1835/5 - 181.4 // I only ate once yesterday and it was enough to keep me full for the rest of the day. It’s a 3 day weekend here so I’m having a lot of family time which distracts me from choosing wisely when it comes to food. 😣. So no workout yesterday and lots of food. Hoping to fit in a workout today. Any kind of workout. Yesterday’s jump in weight kinda disappointed me. Happy to see it back down.

5/01- 167.45/02- 167.35/03- 169.2 -5/04- 168.9 -5/05- 170.0 - Dinner Friday night was date night and, as usual, brought along the bloat. Saturday I overate just a bit. I was ravenous and enjoyed a protein brownie after dinner that put me over my goals. I was right about maintenance with that so I wasn't terribly worried and made the decision after consulting my food log and being mindful. Sunday ended up awful. Our late lunch/early dinner plans with Fam turned into a big ordeal with 5 other families invited last minute and food being pushed to a late dinner instead. That ruined my entire food log for the day and I just erased it all and gave up since they didn't have anything macro friendly to snack on to hold me over since I didn't eat lunch before coming over to hang out and wasn't going to make it until dinner without some sort of food. Definitely overate on top of the fact that wings always cause me to bloat for 24-48 hours after. I also wasn't great about my water intake Saturday or Sunday, though Saturday I did give a solid effort. Weekends are always hard for water since during the week I've had ~50oz water before 7:30 in the morning but on weekends I sometimes don't even wake up by 7:30! I'm hoping this will all drop off relatively quickly and I can move on. Meals planned and balanced. I created the recipes and logged them before I made my grocery list to ensure they would put me within goals and it was successful. Today and tomorrow were logged on Thursday night and groceries purchased Friday morning. Wednesday and Thursday will be an identical copy of Monday and Tuesday, respectively, so that gets me through Thursday. Friday dinner is planned and purchased so I just need to figure out breakfast and lunch to balance it.5 -

🎪🎪🎪 🎪 05/05-DNW 💠 - (Trend Weight: DNW) Decided to go out of town with my son to go do a little grocery shopping at Meijer and Aldi’s. I was disappointed that Aldi’s did not have the Keto bread I usually buy. They opened up a Chinese Buffet in that town so I ate lunch there. Obviously there is lots of sodium swelling today. This is the only Chinese food within 100 miles of my home so it was quite the treat. I did make sure to bring home lots of groceries that support my plan. I also was able to stop by and see my two youngest grandchildren who were nearby. What a treat!

5/5 starting now. It’s 5:35 pm, but I don’t want to wait another day or round to start. I’m starting right now. This summer I’m going to Disney World, I want to be able to walk around without my ankle killing me at the end of the day. I want to go to the pool and not be too embarrassed. I only have 5 days left in this round so my goal is to lose at least 1 lb. Tomorrow, I will walk or do the elliptical for 30 mn in the morning.

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

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.

@Chapter_3 oh those faces!!!! In a previous life I was a pet sitter to the fabulously wealthy (I signed many an NDA, the Hudson Valley is littered with celebrities).
Your two remind me of a pair of golden doodles I cared for that I absolutely adored!!!! This brings back memories of a really fun time in my life, I had a business card that said “I sleep with a different dog every night”.

Set myself up by exchanging crap empty ice cream for actual dinner. And I know that a PB&J is mostly sugar too.
I did manage the rest of the day well. Got some work in between rainstorms. Planting containers and weeding walkways at different properties. This week is mostly a bust for work but I’m finding small projects to keep busy.

Greatful to everyone for being here as I flake in and out. I'm trying to re-establish the good habits that I've let go.
Goals this time around:
Post daily especially when it's not convenient
Exercise for a minimum 500 calorie burn daily
Hold calories down and build meals around quality protein and fats
This was once normal but now it's a goal. Consistency for the next three rounds should get me back to normal.
Best Wishes for SUCCESS Everyone. Yes We Can!
SW Rnd 295 - 153.0 lbs

Good start today. Posting now is not convenient but I'm doing it any way. Hope to hit the gym and handle the day's meals before sunrise. I need a win today. A bit of order to the chaos and meeting today's goals would be a big win.
5/2 - 152.8 lbs
Yesterday's good start didn't last and today began poorly. 🤞 I can clean this up and end well.
Thanks so much for the support and mentions since I've returned. You nudge me in the right direction when I'd rather miss behave.
5/3 - 155.0 lbs
Shame on me! Nothing but misbehaving and the scale proves it. I could see it in my ankles first.
Not hitting my targets so far. No mercy and no excuses. Must do right!
5/4 - 152.8 lbs
Still bloated due to bad eating. Way off every mark would be an accurate description yet I have improved. Only miniscule, but still better.
These goals I've set are ridiculously easy. My plan is to work my way back to normal. Why do I feel like I've outlined an arduous feat never before considered by mankind? This is crossing the border into stupidity.
Warning to self: Life may hand me chaos but I don't need to let this chaos take over unrelated areas of my life.
5/5 - 151.6 lbs
I've got the steroid crazies. Just call me Evil-leen 👹. Still working on getting my act together. My best health will make managing any situation easier.
5/6 - 153.8 lbs
Extra bloated after eating a late heavy dinner just before bed time yesterday. I'm behind on recording foods but calories should be okay. Exercise goals were a miss.
Not good yet shamefully still better. Zero sweet or salty snacks and no nibbling. This is not a win but I can fairly give myself a thumbs up for a tiny accomplishment.

This is my posting format….Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed. (Calories-In yesterday)/ Comment
4/30/25 : 225.2 SW a day before.
5/1: 227.4 (?CI)
This SW on the 30th is an anomaly (low) but I will try harder than I did yesterday to beat it. Although I had a very vigorous spin class, my snacking was a bit (a lot) over the top and I did not log it all.Tromping through the woods again this morning. It will be a lot of steps, in a bit of rain. Woof woof! I wish I had the same tenacity for Calories-In as I do for Calories-Out. During spin class I was unstoppable. I like to picture myself breaking away from the peloton, leaving them in the dust. I left it ALL on the bike. How can I bring the same energy to my eating discipline?
5/2: 226.8 (1798 CI)
Eating was good yesterday. Exercise was over the top good, for my legs anyway.Here is something I am grateful for. I just thought of this. THANK YOU ALL FOR KEEPING POLITICS OUT OF THIS GROUP!!!!! I have never noticed any. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! It is so important to focus on the main purpose of this group and not get tangled up in divisive side issues. That is all.
5/3: 227.4 (1844 CI)
Dreadful dinner out last night.5/4: 228.4 (2087 CI)
At least I got a bit of exercise by mowing the grass and walking. Just too chilly and windy for me to enjoy a bike ride. Not all CI are equal. I gave platform to the wrong ones yesterday.5/5: 225.8 (2140 CI)
I don’t understand this at all…. CI were high but tightly bunched. We had beef and noodles for lunch, then went to a graduation party at 2:30, where we had “second lunch” (kind of like second breakfast Frodo) which included ice cream. At least it was only popcorn for supper.Speaking of LOTR, there are times when I am like Gollum and food is “my precious.” It’s not pretty.
5/6: 224.4 (1368 CI)
The mystery continues. Lower CI yes, but really? Chickens will eventually come home to roost I know.
Maybe use this as inspiration to keep going down.5/7

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 295
May 1 - 10, 2025
SW: 129.2
5/1 - 129.0 Down a touch more. I made it to Planet Fitness yesterday. Tracking was excellent. Today will be a local morning walk. Unpacking still underway. I told hubby to give me through Sunday to get things in order. Some more dresses arrived at my front door yesterday. I am starting to learn what looks better on me and what I been to avoid. Sizing is confusing as it changes with designer (is that really a surprise). Would be great if whatever I find only needs hem work.
5/2 – 130.0 Did a great walk yesterday. Was spot on for calories all day, until later evening. I knowingly ate extra food. I will say that it was nice not waking up hungry this morning, as has often been the case this last month. Scale making me pay for it, but today is going to be a good day.
5/3 – 130.8 This is what happens with a second day of that same bad behavior. And, yesterday had no exercise. Still getting the house in order and unpacking boxes from the truck.
5/4 – 129.6 No exercise, but spot on for calories. Need to make sure this slippage in exercise does not continue. It is ok if there are a few days off as I settle back in, but I have the habit of dropping my exercise when I return home in May.
5/5 – 129.6 No exercise again. It was a complicated day, and limited access to food options. Made it challenging as I spent a lot of time overly hunger (like hours worth) and then once a meal was available, I ate and tracked, but had such a difficult time getting the hunger to go away. It was so very hard not to binge in order to quiet it. I made it through, and that is good enough. No damage. Ultimately, I will be happy if I close this round still in the 129s.
5/6 – 129.8 Complicated hunger day again. I would love to sort this out. Is my metabolism different? Why all the hunger? Anyhow, I continued to regroup during the day and final calorie count was acceptable. I did go to the gym. Tried just doing a “pull” day as defined by internet. It included something called an Arnold press (variant on an overhead press). Anyhow, my back has been in pain ever since doing that move. Should I try it again, I think I will lower the weight as my form is likely off and causing the issue.

5/1 132.4 Major goal this round is to start 🏋️♂️⏱️by mid-round. I’ve had a a few good days strung together, so let’s keep up this momentum… And, just a few more days of rest and I will conquer! Definitely want to fully eliminate 🎢 behaviors. Stay even. Continue 🙆♀️🚶♀️💓💦🏆(WOE: Whole Food, single ingredient nutrition). Choose my identity (mindset) and live it. #HSF #bestshapeofmylife #ENGAGED #agingyounger
5/2 132.8 Great until dinner out with friends last night. Mexican with all the trimmings. NSV: I didn’t over-eat. Just ate a small portion of 💩(chips & salsa & cheese dip). After the evening, I noticed that I never truly had the correct mindset going into dinner - deep down I knew I was going to explore the chips and salsa. I didn’t strap on my #HSF identity going into dinner. That’s an “after the fact NSV”- never would’ve recognized previously. Nuanced thought process. Start again today !!
5/3 132.8 more routine, though tempted to eat larger portions and refrained. That’s a great NSV! Solid hydration and nutrition. Protein 🥩 100g. Kept 💦 with me all day. Good night sleep! Oh, a fox crossed right in front of me on my walk… So fast! Onward!
5/4 131.6 solid day yesterday slowly getting back into a good routine. IF, whole food, single ingredient, 🥩 💦 for the win.
Walking this morning. This afternoon is a baby shower for our granddaughter, Eleanor, due June 26. I am going to strap on my #HSF identity! Food is fuel! 💪🏻
PS- I can tell that I’ve lost muscle / strength from not 🚫 since February… I’m looking forward to 🏋️♂️ & body weight & core exercises tomorrow! (my R tricep is still giving me a few issues - will start on lower body). Have a great Sunday everyone . Get it done!! #HSF
5/5 132.0 woke up at 2:30AM got up at 4:30AM. Decided to ⚖️because I was curious… it’s simply too darn early! Lovely afternoon at the baby shower! I ate more carbs than expected, but did not overindulge. Today: same plan - let’s put it in action!
(oh, I heard from the neighbor yesterday and she’s delivering a formal purchase offer this morning!) 🙏 I really hope the offer is close to asking… We sincerely want them to get this property. She is in her mid 70s and her husband is 80. He has early onset dementia so their future is uncertain. They own the large house / property across the street - pool, huge yard, etc. They want to move into our small cottage and her son with three children would buy her house. She shared w/ me that she would play at our cottage with her friend when she was eight years old! It would be perfect for them! 🙏
5/6 DNW 🚶♀️7.5k. Obsessed with purchase offer. 🎉🎉🎉Clean full price offer - no contingencies- (they only want an inspection and appraisal - knowing the property is sold “As is” ) This was definitely meant to be! I ate a full Rueban for lunch to celebrate… Why is food continuously a celebration? It was so much for me at lunch that I didn’t eat the rest of the day except for a 4oz ground meat patty around 6 PM. TaterBear is uncomfortable but doing well. She will experience torture for two weeks with that horrible cone! Me: Not enough water and horrible sleep. Back on track today!
