🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 308 (my 238th).
Goals for every 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
- an additional goal for me (again) this round is to have a totally 10-day binge free round, will be difficult with hotel food all round!
Soooh, in 5 hours we fly out for our annual holiday; in that time I want to eat at maintanence & not overindulge, but I am on holiday so will relax a tad, I can do it if I use my will power.
Good luck for success everyone.
I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life.
"Health is wealth
".9/7 141.6 – (trend 141.8) 11.64 miles walked. Can’t say that I’m not disappointed with this number especially after Friday’s goal weight being achieved, I was under calories yesterday, but over on carbs, I’ll blame the pizza for tea. Oh well, it is what it is!
EW Rnd 307 141.6
SW Rnd 308 141.6 (yesterday's end of round number)

9/8 DNW - up at 1.30 am to travel to airport, good food yesterday.
9/9 DNW - kept as much on track as possible. Buffet food at the hotel & all inclusive, kept portion control and made sensible choices, but so tempting! One adult beverage on arrival & one with dinner.

Missed the UPF goal with a Klondike Bar. I defrosted the Freezer downstairs and found that delightful little square of ultra-processed-ness. Reason? I may have done some emotional eating yesterday. We took our 15 year old Poppy into the vet for a final goodbye. Yes, I cried like a baby. (my eyes are leaking right now) The hard part was watching my DW’s emotional response after holding Poppy in the final moments. She and Poppy “had a thing.”9/10

SW 214 Round 308 (1)
9/8 - 214 - I just signed up for Caroline Girvan's new Iron series on her app and it officially starts today. I have done some of her Iron workouts on YouTube (free) and over the weekend, I saw a FB post about her new next level Iron series that starts today and just the idea of starting something, anything with other people makes me feel a little bit more motivated. Starting today, I am going to stick to a new plan and see it out for the next ten weeks. It is fitting that this round also started today. The Universe is telling me that today is the day, lol! About to go start Iron, day 1, now.
9/9 - 211 - Looks like I lost the water weight from eating some non-healthy food on Saturday. I did my first Iron Pro workout yesterday. Even though there were a LOT of lunges, it wasn't too bad because this series has a longer rest period between sets which I found very helpful. Because of that, I was able to complete all of the sets. I have upped my daily step goal to 7,000 each day but it has been very rainy here for the past couple of days that I haven't been able to get in a long walk. I did take a short walk yesterday in the rain while waiting for my daughter's bus so that helped me get to 5,500 steps for the day. I didn't eat over my planned macros either so I say my first day was a successful one! 😁

NSV: I’m in a MUCH better place (head) than I was 2 yrs or even 6mos ago. I’ve learned NEW habit formation for me is REALLY harder than I ever imagined. I have some new habits that I’m extra proud (💦📖👣🚶♀️💗& 🥩P:E)of but ohhhh soooo far to go. Some old /current habits (like self-talk) are still forever-present & destructive. Quick to realize but always there. Must be thankful for the awareness so I at least can change directions.

@_JeffreyD_ Im so sorry about Poppy. I would’ve enjoyed a Klondike bar too- maybe three… Sending hugs and love… I suspect you and Poppy had a thing too - not just your DW. My hubby cried like a baby when we said goodbye to Sugar-booger… Take care of DW & yourself. 🫶🏻🌈 Thank you for the “❤️” yesterday. Special.

I've decided I'm going to try OMAD for a while. See if just a change in my patterns will force a bit of a good change on the scale.

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 307
Sept 8 -17, 202563 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress loss of 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6GW Maintaining between 124 – 126
SW: 126.2
8/8 – 126.2 I got through yesterday well. Was a very mixed day. It started with family visiting my mom so she could finally see DGS2 for his second birthday. She was totally blank. I have never seen her like this, to this extreme. So, the family together was fun, but mom’s condition/behavior was stressful. We’ll see what today brings.
8/9 – 126.6 regarding the scale, the day ended poorly. I was wondering overnight whether it is easier for me to NOT start vs STOP once a binge has begun. Just something for me to contemplate. As for my mom, yesterday was as if Sunday never happened. She seems to know nothing about it and is acting “normal” (she is roughly stage 5 for “normal” reference). She apparently claims to not remember any of us visiting, and it was 7 of us for about an hour and a half. I would love to understand the “why”.

@_JeffreyD_ I am so very sorry. DH and I can still feel our emotions saying goodbye to our last two cats, Kali who died too young to horrible FIP (7 years ago), and Duchess who was with us for over 18 years and so many family moments (10 years ago). They become family.

9/8: 182.2 🤨+0.3 from Rnd 307 EW | NSV: Went on a 1.8mi walk this morning. It felt good. Full day of lessons today. I will be wiped this evening. Planning on a strawberry-spinach salad for dinner…with chicken, of course—so I’m not so hungry after dinner! Hardest goal so far is NOT eating after 8 pm!!! Any tips? Anyone care to share your best tip for curbing that monster? I am literally hungry—not just bored. I’m busy doing things with my hands and keeping my mind busy.
9/9: 180.4 😊-1.8 Okay, I’ll take it, but not counting on it to last. NSV: I closed my rings yesterday and had 621 calories remaining. However, I also have calorie adjustment ON??? I had no idea that I had it on or that it even was a thing. After reading about it, I think I shall leave it alone. Salad was tasty last night, and I made sure to have 6 oz chicken to stave off hunger. It worked!

9/08- 170.49/09- 168.4 - This was nice to see this morning. My app was expecting TOM to arrive but still nothing. I am having symptoms, though, so I'm hoping it'll arrive and be over with soon. Today's meals are all tracked and I have a bit of room for snacks - mostly carbs. That leaves plenty of room for an apple or a peach later which is really delightful - I truly enjoy fruit, especially as a dessert. My company has a $500 Lifestyle Spending Account. It's use-it-or-lose-it. Claims can be submitted for reimbursement or you can purchase from their online marketplace (marked up prices). So I bought some calisthenics stuff and got the reimbursement approved - a Jungle Gym (similar to TRX), pushup bars, dip bars, and a doorway pull up bar. BF was able to get a new workout watch, a fishing rod stand to help organize our shop closet a bit more, and some golf balls. I wish I could test out my new "toys" but it's definitely inspiring me to take healing seriously so I can put them to good use in time! I did get to the gym and do some lower body. Just 3 sets of leg extensions, single leg extensions, seated hamstring curls, and single leg seated hamstring curls. It wasn't much but I could manage without bothering my shoulder and after a week and a half of no weights, I'm going to be feeling that! Walking tomorrow and aiming to hit some alternate lower body on Thursday. I have a seated leg press machine, hip abductor/adductor machine, and cable kickbacks I think I can manage with my shoulder without issue. Kickbacks may be questionable but I can always go lighter for more reps just to get that muscle engaged and moving!3 -

Day/Weight/Comment
ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND: 182.6
09/08-183.6 ❌ (Trend Weight – 184.6) Leaving shortly for the two day medical trip. Mammogram and Oncology appointments at the University Hospital that saved my life when I had breast cancer. Routine annual check-up. I hope you all will remember to get your Mamms! I’m starting this round with a big red X and already in the negative. Lunch was on target but dinner was pasta and an ice cream treat (huge!) from the local ice cream place. My attitude was that the next two days are going to be skewed anyway so the heck with it. Not a good plan! It’s the perfect example of letting the air out of the other 3 tires, except this time I didn’t even wait for the initial flat, I did it ahead. I tried to ride the heck out of my exercise bike last night to make up for it but then, there’s that old saying that you can’t outrun the fork. Very true! Up one pound overnight.
🐝🐝🐝🐝09/09 – DNW 〰️ (Trend Weight – DNW) No weight while at hotel and traveling. Just got home at almost 9:00 pm. Tired as heck but wanted to pop in to keep caught up on posts. All went very well with Mammogram and Oncology appts. I receive “immediate results” due to the length/distance of my travel to the appointments.
09/10-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx) Overall Damage report unless I decide to give myself a one day buffer.

🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 308 (my 238th).
Goals for every 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
- an additional goal for me (again) this round is to have a totally 10-day binge free round, will be difficult with hotel food all round!
Soooh, in 5 hours we fly out for our annual holiday; in that time I want to eat at maintanence & not overindulge, but I am on holiday so will relax a tad, I can do it if I use my will power.
Good luck for success everyone.
I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life.

".9/7 141.6 – (trend 141.8) 11.64 miles walked. Can’t say that I’m not disappointed with this number especially after Friday’s goal weight being achieved, I was under calories yesterday, but over on carbs, I’ll blame the pizza for tea. Oh well, it is what it is!
EW Rnd 307 141.6

9/8 DNW - up at 1.30 am to travel to airport, good food yesterday.
9/9 DNW - kept as much on track as possible. Buffet food at the hotel & all inclusive, kept portion control and made sensible choices, but so tempting! One adult beverage on arrival & one with dinner.
9/ 10 DNM weigh - 7.98 mile walked.

Missed the UPF goal with a Klondike Bar. I defrosted the Freezer downstairs and found that delightful little square of ultra-processed-ness. Reason? I may have done some emotional eating yesterday. We took our 15 year old Poppy into the vet for a final goodbye. Yes, I cried like a baby. (my eyes are leaking right now) The hard part was watching my DW’s emotional response after holding Poppy in the final moments. She and Poppy “had a thing.”9/10: 220.4

Not a lot of discipline, but ounces keep coming off so far this round. This will not be sustainable with this week’s festivities.DW and I will staff one of the ticket booths tonight, selling ride tickets for the carnival. This is one of our Rotary service projects. I am always amazed how much money gets shoved at me through that teller window in exchange for a few moments of fun. We all like to see our children smile and laugh.

I screwed up. I thought today was the last day of R#307. I will catch up tomorrow. #HSF #MindBodySoul Let’s do this!!💪🏻
(THE City Council Meeting is tomorrow eve)! I’ve got tomorrow covered.
9/9 132.4 🏆🎾🚶♀️💗👣🤸🏼Tossed & turned all night. Of course. I’m too groggy to figure out today but I WILL fuel my body & move. Full court press today -for tonight’s meeting. - I’m keeping up pretty well. I need to 💦🏋️♀️. My two ✅ non-negotiables today.#HSF #MindBodySoul.
NSV: I’m in a MUCH better place (head) than I was 2 yrs or even 6mos ago. I’ve learned NEW habit formation for me is REALLY harder than I ever imagined. I have some new habits that I’m extra proud of (💦📖👣🚶♀️💗& 🥩P:E) but ohhhh soooo far to go. Some old /current habits (like self-talk) are still forever-present & destructive. Quick to realize but always there. Must be thankful for the awareness so I at least can change directions.
9/10 132.4 🏆🚶♀️💗👣🤸🏼 We lost. No regrets only sorrow for my town. I will need a few days to move on … But I’m ready to embrace ANOTHER new chapter after some rest & reflection. Very proud of the consistency on this #HSF journey during this emotional time (FINALS) - at least this morning anyway. Maybe I have indeed created a few dependable healthy habits. Counting my blessings. Onward!

SW 214 Round 308 (1)
9/8 - 214 - I just signed up for Caroline Girvan's new Iron series on her app and it officially starts today. I have done some of her Iron workouts on YouTube (free) and over the weekend, I saw a FB post about her new next level Iron series that starts today and just the idea of starting something, anything with other people makes me feel a little bit more motivated. Starting today, I am going to stick to a new plan and see it out for the next ten weeks. It is fitting that this round also started today. The Universe is telling me that today is the day, lol! About to go start Iron, day 1, now.
9/9 - 211 - Looks like I lost the water weight from eating some non-healthy food on Saturday. I did my first Iron Pro workout yesterday. Even though there were a LOT of lunges, it wasn't too bad because this series has a longer rest period between sets which I found very helpful. Because of that, I was able to complete all of the sets. I have upped my daily step goal to 7,000 each day but it has been very rainy here for the past couple of days that I haven't been able to get in a long walk. I did take a short walk yesterday in the rain while waiting for my daughter's bus so that helped me get to 5,500 steps for the day. I didn't eat over my planned macros either so I say my first day was a successful one!
9/10 - 210.5 - Half a pound down, I'll take that, lol! Even with more rain yesterday, I was able to meet my step goal of 7,500! I might have even gone over but once I hit my goal, I take my watch off (it's usually the evening anyhow) just because it's so heavy and bulky and I really don't care about wearing it. It does help keep me on track with my steps and helps if and when my daughter contacts me because I am usually not on my phone for most of the day. I also completed day 2 of Iron Pro! Just have to keep going!! Happy Wednesday!! 😁

9/9: 146.2. ?? TOM is coming up soon, so that may be making me a bit bloated. No TMI for a few days. But I don't know. Seems like weight is just ballooning out of control. I really haven't been eating crazy. Hopefully it'll go down just as quick when my body is ready.
I've decided I'm going to try OMAD for a while. See if just a change in my patterns will force a bit of a good change on the scale.
9/10: 144.4. I wasn't very successful at OMAD yesterday. I kept taking bites of random food whenever I was in the kitchen without even thinking about it. I'm going to keep trying though. I need to work on self control around food.
Long outdoor walk and 4 mile treadmill run.
