06/21 -DNW- (Trend weightDNW)

06/22 -185.8- (Trend weight185.1) I’m still struggling with the night snacks even though they have been “approved” and healthy. Quantity matters. I truly think it is 100% habit or even boredom. My interesting book and my limited series shows are just not enough. I’m going to put in some research today and deep dive into the matter.

06/23 -186.8- (Trend weight185.3) I ended up out of town yesterday with Foodie daughter and DGS. She wanted to try a new restaurant and it was good, not great. I shopped for more low carb snacks as I have been running out earlier than planned several times lately due to overeating/bingeing at night. I planned on making chili today to use up some thawed hamburger in the fridge before it goes bad. That will also help to clear some canned veggies out of my pantry giving me some much needed room. I will be watching my portions, sending lots home with my daughter and freezing some properly measured portions for another time. No crackers in the chili Donna!!!!!

Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this going! I love the start of a new round!!

Heaviest Weight Ever: 186.0
186 / 185 / 184 / 183 / 182 / 181 / 180
179 / 178 / 177 / 176 / 175 / 174 / 173 / 172 / 171 / 170 👉 169 -

Summer Challenge (June 15 thru Sept 22): I'll start with a realistic goal of 14 pounds and go from there.
Start Date: June 16 / Start Weight: 175.0
14 Pounds to Go / 13 Pounds to Go / 12 Pounds to Go / 11 Pounds to Go / 10 Pounds to Go / 9 Pounds to Go / 8 Pounds to Go / 7 Pounds to Go / 6 Pounds to Go / 5 Pounds to Go / 4 Pounds to Go / 3 Pounds to Go / 2 Pounds to Go / 1 Pound to Go

Round 263
June 15 - 176.4 - Yikes, that's 1.6 pounds heavier than my last round weight. Good news is I can play a mind game with myself when the first couple of pounds for my Summer Challenge come off really fast. I blame this on eating too much watermelon last night, and also not sleeping enough. I find that I try to eat my way to having energy when it's just that I'm tired. Sometime, I'll be hungry and just take a short nap and wake up feeling so much better and no longer hungry (again, this only works some of the time ).
June 16 - 175.0 - That's Better. Yesterday's weight was water weight and not sleeping. This will be my starting weight for losing 14 pounds this summer!
June 17- DNW
June 18 - 174.8
June 19- DNW - Too much popcorn last night. Nope, I don't care to see the water weight this morning. I never eat past 7pm but last night for some unknown reason I decided to have popcorn at 9pm. Ugh!
June 20 - 174.8
June 21 - 174.4 - I have a closet full of clothes that I cannot fit into. I've bought very few clothes since I gained weight and the ones I've bought have been in dark colors supposedly to hide my weight. I went from working in a high-rise in Atlanta with hundreds of people to moving to Maine and working from home so I could get away without buying many clothes once I gained weight. In addition, I have lived in sweats because I work from home. I decided last week I had enough "waiting" for that elusive date when I'm "slim" and bought 6 new casual dresses. They arrived yesterday and they are so vibrant and colorful! Obviously my health is number one especially after many, many health issues the past years, but I hope this one step moves me closer to doing other things that I've put off that are good for my mental health. I think my husband also appreciates seeing me out of sweats every now and then. LOL
June 22 - 174.6
June 23 - 174.4

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 263 (my 193rd). So grateful @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round;
• to stay under 140 pounds,
• no feeding frenzies
• to lose!
I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.
End of round 69 134.2 lbs 22.2.18 to 03.03.18

SW RND 263
6/15 138.2 – (trend 139.8) there’s that lovely number again making an entrance to start the round. 8.31 miles walked, just under 70% exercise calories eaten back.
6/16 139.6 – (trend 139.8) 6.06 miles walked, ate out with family as an early birthday celebration for DH last night, looked at the menu in advance & selected healthily with non-alcoholic cider, uh and there was birthday cake, eat lightly beforehand, but still 500 calories over. Travel up to Liverpool today, staying overnight, eating in the hotel, but packed a healthy lunch.
6/17 DNW - 9.94 miles walked, best guesstimate 200 calories over yesterday. Tickets booked for The Beatles Story this morning.
6/18 140.4 - (trend 139.8) urgh, results of 2 days eating out! That's one goal missed, never mind back home now with no more events this round and all home prepared for ahead, it's more promising to get back. 7.15 miles, 75% exercise calories eaten back .
6/19 139.6 – (trend 139.8) – And back down! 7.83 miles walked, less than 30% of exercise calories eaten back.

6/20 140 - (trend 139.8) – drove 2 hours each way to attend little DGD’s school sports day & communal picnic followed by watching youngest at her swimming lesson. No structured walking hence calories over.
6/21 139.6 – (trend 139.8) 9.81 miles walked, less than 50% exercise calories eaten back.
6/22 141.6 – (trend 140) major chocolate binge ☹.so despondent with myself. 8.33 miles walked.
6/23 141.4 - (trend 140.2) 8.27 miles walked, 53% exercise calories eaten back.
6/24 140.8 – (trend 140.3) 12.3 miles walked, 45% exercise calories eaten back. Failed to hit any of the 3 goals this round ☹. Must try harder, first & third goal failed entirely by failing the second, need to make no feeding frenzy as my first goal, that is the crucks of my problem!! 1.6 pound gain.

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!! 👍👍.

I’m late for the challenge but I didn’t want to wait the next one.
So… I’ve been on mfp more than 10 years now. Sometimes I had used this app regularly for a few months, then I couldn’t stay consistent and gained more weight and came back, it’s a vicious circle. I don’t know how many times I tried and never achieved my goal weight. It is very depressing, but I am still here to try again.

6/20 - 105 kg
6/21 - 104.4 kg
6/22 - 104.6 kg
6/23 - 103.9 kg
6/24 - 101.4 kg

As expected I weight more today since I went to picnic with friends yesterday. I drank and ate more than usual. But these days always will be in my life, so I will keep going and try to balance.

5/21-175.2
5/22- 174.8
5/23- 174.8
5/24- 174.8 I have been off this whole weekend. I think the busy week and the heat wave just took everything out of me. I skipped workouts, I slept in. I stayed inside and took naps. I ate pizza and popcorn and sushi.
I wasn’t out of control but I was checked out.
I’m glad to see a flat line instead of a gain but I wouldn’t be surprised if I get an upswing to start the next round.
I’m struggling to shake off my fog and get my day going. I did read all of the posts the last few days- so much going on!!!!

SW RND 263: 173.4, EW: 173.8

6/15 173.6 Sure would like to keep it below 174 this time. I feel like I’ve been stuck there for a while now. I know I need to exercise more, so that will be a goal for this round. Good luck everyone!
6/16 174. Well there it is again.
6/17 174. And still here. Got in a good walk in the neighborhood though, in spite of the heat.
6/18 173.4 Walked early yesterday before it was too hot. Summer is here for real!
6/19 173.2 Got in a good walk at the library park yesterday morning. Finding my groove again after the cruise, so I have hope for the rest of this round. Sugar Kiss melons have arrived at my Publix grocery store, so it’s officially summer now for sure! They spoil me on cantaloupe the rest of the year—I love them so much!
6/20. 173.4 Not much activity during the day, so I got in a longer walk in the evening. Just had to wait till almost bedtime to do it!
6/21. 173.4 Going camping. Won’t have great signal the next couple days, but will get in lots of exercise.
6/22. DNW
6/23. DNW
6/24. 173.8 So much exercise this weekend, I expected to be down, but at least I’m still below 174. Fingers crossed for a drop next round.

Entering the “danger zone” end of this round into the next as we’re going on vacation, which has been my “Waterloo” every year; this time I'll stand strong; I have my travel scale out, new batteries ready to go.

6/24: traffic-free travel (very unusual) to the Cape, and first morning in a lovely inn to end this round. Already had to resist the vacation temptations everywhere, and the travel scale works! My mantra: "is it worth it"? If so, yes! Typical June on Cape Cod, it was 97° at home and we arrived to 78° here, with fog rolling in from Vineyard Sound. Sweatshirts and frizzy hair for the next week, and hoping for a couple beach/kayak days! Love it so much up here...

See you all in 264, keeping me on track through playtime!

Well, well well. Bounced up down and all around ranging 129-133 this round. I’m going to hang tough with my PE experiment… And see what happens over the next few days. I think this is from no TMI.

I also played tennis for three hours yesterday …. Sweltering heat, tons of water, stayed on nutrition plan….

Friday is InBody scan. Looking forward.

NSV: Previously, I would have freaked out over the scale… Remaining calm and reading for information. I don’t have the answers yet… But I know it’s not calories or junk! Could it, could it, could it possibly be muscle? 😃

Next round let’s go!

10. 60+ grams protein 2/2 days – 😊
11. CBT Homework 2/2 days -☹

6/23 – 155.6 lbs – Hi everyone! I haven’t been around for a long time, but I need some help! I see that mean ole scale creeping up higher and higher, so time to get serious and get down closer to my goal weight. I know we are starting a new round on Tues, but I figure if I leave it until then I will probably forget what I had intended to do, so here I am for the last 2 days of this round. Lol! I haven’t been focusing on protein these past few months and that is likely why my weight is creeping up. So, let me try to work on that and see what I can accomplish between now and Tuesday morning. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, all! 😊
6/23 – 151.6 lbs – 20.6 lbs from goal! So yesterday, I decided to stop feeling sorry for myself and my weight creeping up and actually get my shizz together. Made a meal plan, started counting calories and macros and steps and got some healthy groceries and did about a bizillion hours of prep cooking/chopping and dishes and drank a bunch of water and presto chango, I was down 4 lbs this a.m. Which made me feel good about jumping out of bed and going for a run. 🙂 (run/walk, obvi, but there was a lot of running!)

@clprieur It's so nice to see you again! I thought I lost you when they cancelled the main feed. Great decision jumping in and not waiting more days until the next round. So happy to be sharing our journeys! I've been in a backsliding position lately but I'm working hard on getting back up on the horse and back on track. Let's do this!

@deepwoodslady Hi!! I was just looking for the feed?! What the heck?! It's the best part. Lol. I'm glad I came back here, then, to find you. Have a great day and see you in the next round!

RGW-170 Thank you @quiltingjaine !!!🌸

6/18-177- I have not been making exercise a priority. The horrible heat and wind should not be present today.
6/19-175-The food consumption wasn’t the best, but I did pick up my orthotics and walked 3.5 miles and drank plenty of water. I feel good.
6/20-174-Switched to green tea-iced and will take that today instead of a co*ke. Off to help make quilts for the veterans. Lunch is provided and I will not eat the bread….i hope.
6/21-DNW-Should get a walk in today. Some minor yard work.
6/22-172-No walking but lots of yard and a horse ride. Green iced tea and water. Off to a graduation party and hopefully wise food choices.
6/24-174- A little too much weekend. See you next round!

📆 2015–2023

End-of-2024 Goals—weight 170, walking 5 miles most days.

Day. Weight. Comments.

6/15 - 197.2
DH and I have been watching Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones on Netflix, and of course the commonalities of communities where more people live longer are plant-based, low-junk diets, lots of physical activity in the course of daily life, and a few other things. I’m working on upping my veggies and reducing processed carbs (read pasta), but I think I’m going to have to press harder. At 89 in July, thin DH doesn’t feel any pressing need to change his diet, but at 71 and fat, I know I can’t eat the way he does (he doesn’t eat junk, but is a huge fan of pasta). We can’t always eat different dinners, but my new strategy is to have extra veggies. I’m hoping this series will nudge him to more me-friendly meals. I’ve also been doing so much work in my garden that I haven’t been walking as planned. I need to get back to walking, for many reasons.

6/16 - 197.4
I had a little pig out last night for some reason. I’m trying to get some walking in but it’s turning very hot and I’m prone to “heat sickness.” I’m thinking of going to Menards to walk, since they have ac and miles of aisles. 😊

6/17 - 197.2
The heat has arrived. Other than watering my plants, I’m not spending much daytime outdoors. Maybe I can sneak in a walk this evening.

6/18 - DNW
My schedule got discombobulated with workmen here at 7:40 (they told us “after 8”) so I didn’t weigh this morning. That’s ok. I ate responsibly yesterday and plan to do the same today.

6/19 - 196.6
I did a big thing yesterday…As some of you know, I’m a writer (21 books and hundreds of articles and essays), but I haven’t written much in the past few years due to a combo of factors. I have had a stack of manuscripts in various stages of incompleteness sitting on my desk, taunting me whenever I’m in that room, and calling me names even when I’m not. I will likely never touch those projects again—they’re stale and my interests have shifted. So I tossed the lot in the recycle bin. They’re still on my computer, but I’m considering a deletion binge. When—if—I get back to writing, I need to start fresh. And weirdly, I can’t help feeling that hanging onto old, stale writing projects was linked to hanging onto weight. We’ll see. I can’t tell you how hard it was to make that decision and how liberating once it was done. I feel like something new has opened. Now to find it!

6/20 - 196
That’s encouraging. 😊

6/21 - 196
I’m spending the weekend at a dog show, staying in my friend’s camper trailer, so won’t be checking in. Fortunately, I did the shopping, so unless she adds something, there’s no junk food. It will be fun—I’m not showing, so all I have to do is cheer her on, trying to finish her dog’s championship. See you Monday!

6/22 - DNW

6/23 - DNW

6/24 - 196.8
Back from the weekend dog show. It was stinkin’ hot Fri & Sat, but cooled down nicely on Sunday. I didn’t quite stick to the healthy eating plan, but wasn’t too bad other than, I think, getting a bit dehydrated. I’m planning to drink a lot of water today. I seem to have broken even this round, but I have a hunch I’ll drop tomorrow or the next day. I do feel very motivated tknow, so we’ll see what happens. See you next round!

Comments pertain to previous day

SW RND 263 133.0 AW 134.05
6/15 134.0 Upcoming birthday for friend at Golden Corral on Monday doesn’t thrill me especially after anticipated Father’s Day lunch of pizza on Sunday. Just shoot me now! On the plus side - water fitness M, W, F and gym T, Th, F. I’m not doing a lot but anything is better than nothing.
6/16 133.5 Day off from “working out” Even though I’m pleased with myself for getting back to doing activities, I am so mad at myself for letting myself become the ultimate couch potato for the last several years. Once I sat down for COVID closures, I never really got up. I know there are lots of others who did this too. Don’t get me wrong, I have always tended towards being a slug and it was too easy to fall back into that. So I’m depressed about that and losing Oskar has compounded my “depression.”
6/17 133.5 Amazed I didn’t go up. Had pizza for Father’s Day lunch - 3 slices. Later I had 7 shrimp left from the other night. Tonight Golden Corral for friend’s birthday.
6/18 135.0 I had a pity party after “emergency” dentist visit and ate all not LCHF at GC. If I get my act together today it should be gone soon.
6/19 134.5 Eating yesterday was good. Getting a haircut today.
6/20 134.5 Bingo last night, eating last night was good until the Fat Boy ice cream sandwich.
6/21 134.5 Back to water fitness this morning.
6/22 133.0 Today is GGS’s birthday party at 2pm and for some unknown reason DH set an early lunch date with friends at 11am. I am so irritate! I was strong yesterday and didn’t allow myself to feel pressured into eating when he finally wanted something at about 5. Now to survive the party this afternoon.
6/23 134.0 Well, I’m okay with this. We had a fun time in the Construction Zone as DGGS is currently infatuated with heavy equipment.
6/24 134.0 Art Quilts, etc today. Macros were good yesterday. Waiting for the change. I got up late and now need to face the long drive across town.
