Hi @AngieW952 & welcome to a *most* friendly & supportive group!

I feel your pain! I know it’s frustrating regarding internet and BMR, not to mention protein recommendations LOL! But then, again, it IS the Internet!!!

So, what I decided to do is track calories eaten & exercise calories (Active Energy) plus Resting Energy via my Apple Watch. Then I can calculate my deficit & see how it compares to my weight loss. I should be able to calculate my BMR from this over time (if my Watch doesn’t beat me to it) LOL.

So far, over the 50 days or so, I’ve lost more than I should have. So, either I burn more calories than my watch thinks or I’m overcountjng what I eat (Very unlikely) or I’m taller than I think (not) or younger than I am (I wish!) or my metabolism has increased (I can only hope!!!)

But, it’s kind of fun to try to figure out our own BMR - at least I think so.

Again, welcome aboard!!

4/18 143.6 I've been having some big drops. I indulged this morning for breakfast, but I'm on track. I see my physical therapist this evening, so I hope to get some pain relief without medication. I can't wait to be lifting weights again!

4/19 143.2
4/20 143.2 I haven't worked out this week. Next week needs to be different. I don't just want to be skinny, I want to be healthy!

4/21 145.2 Whoa! Boys and Girls, this is what wine and cheese can do. I had been abstaining for a few weeks, and hubby really wanted to relax with me. Bread, Armenian string cheese, and 2012 Syrah. Humph

4/22 143.8 Got lots of compliments on my weight loss.
4/23 143.8 Clearly I've been lax. I know what I need to do - Prep and measure.
4/24 143.8 Remembering the Armenian genocide.

@cpanus - we're head to head! : )

I don't have cravings, but for the past 3 days I've wanted peanut butter. Sunday I made keto pb cookies. I included them in my meal plan so that I wouldn't go crazy on calories. 2 TB of peanut butter and 2 pb cookies, which is 2 more TB of peanut butter.

Yesterday, I still want pb. I ate 1 TB pb and 1 cookie. Today, 3TB peanut butter and 2 cookies. That's a binge! I didn't go over maintenance calories, but gee! I hope this is the end of this craving. What I think it's all about is just needing more calories or needing more potassium.

I don't want carbs. I have brownies, which I made for husband and son, sitting in my face all day. Bread and rolls in the house for them also. I think I'll increase my potassium and see if that solves the issue.

It's wonderful to hear that you had a good trip, and that all your hard work paid off. Even better, it sounds like you made healthy choices there. This is definitely worth celebrating! We are all very proud of you!!!

Day/Weight/Comment
4/18 -- 195.0 Okay, looks like I need to pick a new goal.
4/19 -- 194.2 (TOM) Gave myself permission to step off plan today. Just a little, because I've found that small, conscious indulgences satisfies me and prevents me from breaking out completely.
4/20 -- 193.6
4/21 -- 192.6 That's my first 10lb gone. I hope that I start seeing my progress in my clothes and my mirror soon instead of just on my scales. I still have nearly 7lbs to lose before I get to my "I will never allow myself to get this heavy again" weight from 2013.
4/22 -- 192.2 Progress is progress.
4/23 -- 194 Okay, I'm due a bounce back after so much whooshing, but that doesn't mean I have to like it! My aim is to stick to the plan and hope that it's a temporary blip.
4/24 -- 193.4 Better. Need to keep it going, my first mini-goal is in sight.
4/25 -- 192.2 Going the right direction again.

Round 38 (Round 30 for me. Female, 5'2" aged 71, weight in lbs)[/c]
18/04: 167.6 Goals ✅ What is it that makes us revert so easily to our old ways?
I have really been tightly back on track for the past week, and then last night we had a friend in for coffee and as we were chatting I suddenly realised that I had absentmindedly munched several of the biscuits hubby had put out with the coffee. (not sure exactly how many, lol! as we were having such a great chat.) Not going to beat myself up, but wondering how do we combat the old habits which just seem to lurk there, waiting until we are off-guard, to sabotage all our hard work?

Maybe all we can do is to be aware of it happening, and make sure that we stop as soon as we realise what we are doing. I am continually reminded that being fit and healthy has to be a life time commitment, and is not a quick fix.
19/04: 167.7 Goals ✅
20/04: 167.2 Goals ✅ Birthday today. I'm not going to use this as an excuse to go over the top. Goal is to eat a little, drink a little, and be merry a lot.
21/04: 167.2 Goals ✅ Spent my birthday in the garden enjoying the sun. A perfect pamper day.
22/04: 166.9 Goals ✅ Had an very active day yesterday out in the fresh air.
23/04: 167.0 Goals ✅
24/04: 166.7 Goals ✅ No time to post yesterday. Hoping this trend continues.
25/04: 166.8 Goals ✅ Aw, well! Something has gotta give eventually. Trust the process!
26/04: xxx Goals

Let's do this!!!


Don't worry!

That’s a kilo and a half in 6 days? Help! I’ve been slacking on the water and craving carbs but it’s because I am a little run down.. but I am still watching my calories. Panic mode!!!

"Don't Panic!" It's normal for weight to fluctuate several pounds from day to day, especially if you are under par and not hydrating properly. So long as the overall trend over time is downwards, you are doing fine!

24/04 * 73.5 * so something is going wrong, I am not drinking enough water and I’ve been hit by hay fever and feel dreadful with a head cold but surely this can’t be right?! That’s a kilo and a half in 6 days? Help! I’ve been slacking on the water and craving carbs but it’s because I am a little run down.. but I am still watching my calories. Panic mode!!!

Don't panic!!! Please don't panic. Go easy on yourself When we're run down, our bodies can react in all sorts of negative ways. Take time to get yourself back up to your normal self and slowly get back to making the right food choices. You've got this mamabear!!

I’ve been trying to flush the system and drink lots of water today. I keep wanting to blame this new pill I am on but it’s impossible for it to have such a reaction on me. I need to get back on it.. water water water is my mini goal for today!!!

Totally hear you on the medication front! I changed to implanon and gained like 10kg! Kept blaming the implant but then tracked what I was actually eating on mfp and acknowledged that I hadn't gone from training for a 10k run to sitting on my backside! I do gain weight easier though, dunno if that's my age or implant but either way I just know I have to be careful not to undo all my hard work!
I can literally gain and lose a kg within a few days! It's absolutely infuriating but it's unfortunately just one of those things that I have to learn about my body!

It’s incredibly annoying isn’t it. I’ve gone through various pills and am actually waiting to have the implant done. I keep telling myself its in my head but it’s just an easy thing to blame it on. I’ve been a bit run down recently and alongside being a new mum I’ve just gone back to work from maternity leave and also am undergoing a professional qualification and being tired and making me hungrier and little things like drinking water is just not even second nature anymore. I am adamant to make small tweaks however and see how it goes! I stopped writing little blogs on here and have decided to do it again because it actually keeps me in mental check! And it’s nice to have that support from this group xx
