    This has been a very challenging two weeks. I got home at 2AM last night, so I'm groggy. The story: two immediate family members were at the center of a traumatic experience almost two weeks ago, so we'll be dealing with the aftermath for quite some time. One was back in the ER last night, the other is also having difficulties. A third immediate family member is dealing with an alcohol relapse, but is back in rehab. Life is an everything-bagel right now. Our turn for the bagel.

    I got a bit of walking yesterday, so I'm glad for that. Food was okay yesterday. I hope I can squeeze in some flexibility work today, but we shall see.

    I am not requiring myself to get a full hour of exercise today, but I'll do something.

    I read all of your posts and they are so helpful. Thank you all for sharing your experiences. You help me to stay focused.

    Take care of yourself. You know the classic line ‘put on your oxygen mask first’. You can’t be there to assist anyone if you don’t take care of yourself.

    Hi : - )

    I am Dawn. I turned 65 this round. I have changed my eating habits over time. I basically eat half of the amount that I used to, and have limited eating Ribs to once every 3 months instead of once per week. I eat everything, just less of it and/or less often. I topped out at 207, at 5'2" that is not healthy at all! I joined MFP at 198lbs. Ultimate health goal for my arthritic feet is 110-118.

    Week 1 Start Weight: 137.8

    Week 1 Goal: 136.8

    Week 1 Actual Weight: 140.8 - Exactly a 3 pound gain : - (

    Week 2 Start Weight: 140.2

    Week 4 Goal: 135.0

    Week 4 Actual Weight: 136.0

    Week 5 Start Weight: 136.0 - on my 65th birthday

    Week 5 Goal: 135.0 136.5

    Week 5 Actual Weight: 136.2

    Week 6 Start Weight: 136.8

    Week 7 Actual Weight: 136.0

    Week 8 Start Weight: 135.8

    Week 8 Goal: 134.8

    Week 8 Actual Weight: 136.4 - had pizza 4 times out of the 6 slices from the free Domino's medium.

    Day 57—10/18 — 135.2 - I hit that weight while on holiday at the chalet, and have been chasing it ever since. Happy to see it this morning. Split shifts today and tomorrow, which normally signal lots of yardwork for me during my 2 hour break, but we are to have rain for the next 2 days. Groan, I suppose that I can do stuff inside instead, always last on my list I prefer to be outside during all seasons, I guess except for rain. I have a great deal to do outside and if I don't get to it before a hard freeze I will be doubling my spring "work".

    Day 58—10/19 — 135.2 - Up early because there is Classical Music on the radio at 7am on Sundays : - ) Split shift today. Snow/rain mix, leading to rain later on today, like during my 2 hour break. I didn't get a whole lot done during my 2 hours yesterday, mostly just Fitness Marshall dances which were fun. Not sure what I will get up to today during my break.

    I was thinking about my comment from yesterday "I feel like I lose 3lbs, then gain 2lbs, rinse and repeat. That's still a 1lb loss… over and over again; it all adds up! (or down)." —> You know me, I can't rely on 'feelings' when I know there is data to look at and analysis/summarize. So, here you go… my pounds lost and gained over my Monday to Sunday weeks since Jan 6th 2025:

    image.png

    Orange is cumulative loss until there is a weekly gain. Blue is the cumulative gain until there is a weekly loss. The loss weeks go from 1 to 4 consecutive weeks. The gain weeks are mostly 1 week with 2 occasions of 2 consecutive weeks (which happen to be our May and August trips).

    Over the 10 months I've lost 28lbs and gained 13lbs, to achieve a net loss of 15lbs.

    My 'feeling' wasn't far off. The reality is closer to lose 2.3 and gain 1.2. With the .1 & .8 swings removed it is lose 2.7 and gain 1.4.

    I'm not sure this tells me anything I didn't already know.

    Odd day yesterday. Did not exercise. Went to the RV show. Ate some amazing baklava at the show. Didn't really have lunch. Ate a whole bunch of olives, that we also bought at the show, when we got home. Took the dog for a walk. Had pasta with homemade meatballs and salad for dinner. Had wine with dinner (I definitely had too much wine). In the evening had ice cream. Kind of feel like a giant blob this morning. Have already made a second pot of coffee.

    Round #24---

    Thoughts at the start of this round:

    This round will be challenging as it includes the U.S. holidays of Labor Day, Halloween and Thanksgiving. All are big foodie or party and dessert type holidays in the U.S. There are also multiple birthday celebrations in my family. In addition, there will be a lot of travel which is traditional in the fall for me as I try to avoid as many icy driving trips as possible in the winter months. There will be lots of doctor appointments away from home as well as Christmas and gift-giving shopping in this round. I will have to make sure I stay on top of my plan in every moment I can and to make the necessary corrections every time the scale goes up. We can’t control the ingredients in restaurant food so portion control will be key when away from home. I will again aim for a 10 pound loss this round. Thanks for sharing your journey with me and allowing me to share mine. I am grateful for you all.

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

Trend weight continues to go down and I’m feeling pretty good. I may be traveling today with DD and DGS a couple of hours each way to do some Halloween shopping for costumes and such. Up, up, up will go the water weight if we go. The fluid retention seems to be getting worse when I travel. I’ll have to talk to my cardiologist about that. My appt is in December.

    @dawnbgethealthy

    In regards to the Konjac noodles you were having a hard time finding locally:

    My local grocery store does not carry them or anything even remotely similar. I usually find them when shopping out of town at Walmart or Meijer. However, when I can't find them I use these. They are also plant based, very low calorie and very low in both total and net carbs. They are 100% similar. With red sauce (with meat) I usually need only 1/2 pack at a time. They easily rinse and cook the same and come in a couple of varieties. Yummy! It's a nice alternative when needed. Price is about exactly the same too at the big box stores.

    Better than a gain. Rainy day yesterday. Didn't walk the dog. Exercised. Slightly over on my IN target. Met my protein goal.

    @JimnKC I'm curious to know what you ate on the 19th. Nearly 10K calories. … Oh - it is the same number as your steps… I think it is a typo.

    I used to be able to get them at Walmart, their's were called Magic noodles. They haven't carried them for years. Sometimes I can find NuPasta at one of the other grocery stores. Otherwise, Amazon. I have never seen anything like what you show here. We do have different products in our countries.

    Hi : - )

    I am Dawn. I turned 65 this round. I have changed my eating habits over time. I basically eat half of the amount that I used to, and have limited eating Ribs to once every 3 months instead of once per week. I eat everything, just less of it and/or less often. I topped out at 207, at 5'2" that is not healthy at all! I joined MFP at 198lbs. Ultimate health goal for my arthritic feet is 110-118.

    Week 1 Start Weight: 137.8

    Week 1 Goal: 136.8

    Week 1 Actual Weight: 140.8 - Exactly a 3 pound gain : - (

    Week 7 Actual Weight: 136.0

    Week 8 Start Weight: 135.8

    Week 8 Goal: 134.8

    Week 8 Actual Weight: 136.4 - had pizza 4 times out of the 6 slices from the free Domino's medium.

    Day 57—10/18 — 135.2 - I hit that weight while on holiday at the chalet, and have been chasing it ever since. Happy to see it this morning. Split shifts today and tomorrow, which normally signal lots of yardwork for me during my 2 hour break, but we are to have rain for the next 2 days. Groan, I suppose that I can do stuff inside instead, always last on my list I prefer to be outside during all seasons, I guess except for rain. I have a great deal to do outside and if I don't get to it before a hard freeze I will be doubling my spring "work".

    Day 58—10/19 — 135.2 - Up early because there is Classical Music on the radio at 7am on Sundays : - ) Split shift today. Snow/rain mix, leading to rain later on today, like during my 2 hour break. I didn't get a whole lot done during my 2 hours yesterday, mostly just Fitness Marshall dances which were fun. Not sure what I will get up to today during my break.

    Day 59—10/20 — 136.2 - Gain of a pound. Well, I had "normal" pasta with my version of Alfredo last night. I cooked enough noodles for 2 nights. I don't really like to cook, the fake pasta is already cooked, just needs rinsing. I use 2 tbsp of sour cream for my alfredo instead of heavy whipping cream. I put in fresh basil from one pot that I brought into the house when it started getting very cold, and of course raw garlic on the top. Pasta again tonight, this time with meatballs and marinara. Short day today with an appointment after work, then….my one day off tomorrow. Whew. A little more than 2 months of this and then I am really hoping to be able to scale back on working to 5 days a week, or even better, 4.

    Thoughts at the start of this round:

    This round will be challenging as it includes the U.S. holidays of Labor Day, Halloween and Thanksgiving. All are big foodie or party and dessert type holidays in the U.S. There are also multiple birthday celebrations in my family. In addition, there will be a lot of travel which is traditional in the fall for me as I try to avoid as many icy driving trips as possible in the winter months. There will be lots of doctor appointments away from home as well as Christmas and gift-giving shopping in this round. I will have to make sure I stay on top of my plan in every moment I can and to make the necessary corrections every time the scale goes up. We can’t control the ingredients in restaurant food so portion control will be key when away from home. I will again aim for a 10 pound loss this round. Thanks for sharing your journey with me and allowing me to share mine. I am grateful for you all.

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

    CURRENT WEEK:

    Day 58—10/19—185.2 ❌ (Trend Weight: 183.7) Golden Corral for lunch out of town. We managed to find both their Halloween costumes except for one important piece needed for grandson. We may have to turn to Facebook Marketplace for help.

    🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 Day 59—10/20—183.4✅ (Trend Weight: 183.7) I’m shedding most of the all-you-can-eat buffet bloat from the other day. Hopefully I can string some days together this week which always makes such a big difference. Last week I lost my 0.7 lb goal weight and made up an additional 1/2 lb of what I'm behind. While the additional 0.5 is nothing to sneeze at, I've still got a tough road ahead. Right now I'm a whole pound up from last week's end weight thanks to Golden Corral and the two days of travel these past few days. More to catch up. Ugh! Keep the faith Donna! Tonight is this month’s book club meeting. Other than that 90 minutes of sitting, I plan on getting a lot of movement in doing lots of needed housework today. I will also do my regular exercise. Only 5 more days left to put more dents in it. Anything OVER a 0.7 loss this week is the goal.

    Just another Manic Monday!

    @age_is_just_a_number , I feel the same way, believe me. But when you look at the big picture, it's a lot more uplifting. 🙂

    @deepwoodslady , I miss Golden Corral....sniff, sniff...

    Day 57—10/18— 160 - Spent most of the day crocheting my grandson's afghan. Not satisfied with the pattern yet…need to tweak it. Food was leftover salmon and chili again. I did have an apple and a couple small cookies for dessert, but I am done eating for the night.

    Day 58—10/19— 160 - I remembered to weigh but didn't get a chance to postl

    Day 59—10/20— 161 - Going the wrong way again! Ok.....had breakfast out and that's my main meal for the day. I did a little "yard" work this afternoon....the yard was the patch in front of my apartment building. I pulled out the sunflowers that are mostly finished for the season and cut some of the blossoms to put in my living room. I did work up a sweat though. Maybe it will help. And now I can start filling my bird feeder again.
