Hi, @mthomas0228, do you have a recipe you can share? I wouldn't mind having another protein muffin recipe, though I'm not generally a huge fan of blueberries.1 -
ROUND 5 FOR ME - Female 58 yrs old 5’ 5” Midwest USA Original starting weight 235 on 1/11/18

Day/Weight/Comment
7/17 187.6 From one dish of vanilla icecream? Yikes….. Will likely get worse tomorrow. Today is a business luncheon at the pizza buffet. My diet will be off but I will make this my “earn meal” and do good in the evening. Good luck everyone on this new challenge! My son’s weight yesterday 288.2. He was down 4 more pounds. Fantastic!
7/18 189.6 Wait a minute! I did not eat 2 whole pounds of food at the pizza buffet yesterday! But I did eat 4 small pieces and some water. Also, some sweet snacks at the late night binge. I guess I deserve this giant leap up. I walked over 12,000 steps yesterday including my brisk 1.5 mile neighborhood walk. I intermittent fasted 14:10 due to the luncheon being earlier than I usually begin eating. Lots of fluids. I did a few things right anyway. Today I will stay focused and not get derailed!
7/19 188.2 Yesterday I ate 18 net carbs. 1456 calories . Lots of healthy fats. A little low on protein. 66 oz. of water. No planned exercise but over 10,000 steps on the fitbit. Working my way back down to my starting point of 186.0 then reaching desperately for 183.0. Hope everyone has a good day!
7/20 189.2 last minute night out last night with friends. 1 large beef and bean burrito led to an all night binge. Totally out of control. Ate everything in sight and could not seem to get full or satisfied. This is how it happens if I veer off my diet, even just for a minute. This shows that I still do not have control over my eating habits when presented with foods outside of my home or other completely controlled environments. I have a lot to learn and a long way to go. Hanging my head in frustration, guilt and shame. Good points: 11,713 steps yesterday. My brisk 1.5 mile neighborhood walk.
7/21 188.4 Yesterday 13,746 steps. 13/13 (250 step hours) on fitbit. Rained all day, no neighborhood walk. 963 calories in (a bit too low) 2720 calories out. 23 net carbs . Still feeling sluggish after all the bingeing junk I ate on Thursday. Expecting thunderstorms all day today. Thanks to all for the encouraging words yesterday. The support here on MFP makes a world of difference!
7/22 187.6. Low steps yesterday at 6,275. Hit 13/13 (250 step hours) on fitbit. Thunderstorms so no walk. Ate 24 net carbs and 1454 calories including delicious homemade Keto Holista Pizza. My blood sugar before my dinner was 105 (much better than the consistent over 500 I used to get!). And this improvement is after my 4 glyburide was removed by my doctor. Only metformin now but still at a large dose, so I continue to work on this and hope any continued weight loss will help put me in remission from this type 2 diabetes. I started in January with the goal of losing 90 pounds. I have 42.2 pounds to go so I am over halfway there. Overall, yesterday was a success. 2 have 2 new goals: 1. Learn how to hold my stomach in again which would help work my muscles. With a large diabetic belly I have not been able to do this in over 10 years. Now my stomach is small enough but it hurts like exercise, so I persist until it can be second nature again. Goal 2: to be able to cross my legs again. I am almost there! Have a good day everyone!
7/23 187.0 14,495 steps. Hit 13/13 (250 step hours) on fitbit. Ate 23 net carbs, 998 calories in / 2942 calories out. Lots of extra veggies today which got me to my carbs fast. A little low on calories, fats and protein due to less meat today. Lots of physical work today (total miles 6.47) but no planned exercise after…..too tired. I still cannot reach 6 hours of sleep. Body is just done at 4 to 5.5 hours most nights. Practiced holding in my stomach and realized I was not breathing when trying. So I will continue to practice what used to be natural. I am happy that I am even able to begin attempting to relearn with my stomach now a bit smaller. Yet it is my stomach still that holds me back from being both thinner and healthier. I worked on crossing my legs a few times. I can do it without it looking like I’m sitting Indian Style and so that it looks more like a lady (like it should) but it is very pinching and uncomfortable. The legs don’t fit together well so I think it is still a bit off. So I continue to fight all my battles big and small!
7/24 186.7 Almost back to challenge starting weight (186.0) This round has been just a battle to do that! Yesterday 10,733 steps. 23 Net Carbs, 1222 Total Calories in / 2533 Calories out. Walked 4.54 total miles including a planned 1.5 neighborhood walk. Added some light weight training with 2 lb weights in the evening. I did 12/13 of the 250 fitbit step hours. Diet was good. Hit much closer on my fat and protein macros. Before meal blood glucose reading was 121. My son Johnny did a weekly weigh-in yesterday at 287.8. Total he’s lost since May 1, 2018 is 20.6 lbs. I’m so proud of him. I do keto to help control blood sugars while losing weight, my son does CICO due to his severe eating / sensory disorders. He’s doing fantastic and I’m so proud of him! ONWARD WE MARCH.

In again. I don’t like the trend I see – going backwards! But I do like that, thanks to this challenge, I can see what’s happening. The worst thing would be to throw in the towel.

Ultimate Goal Weight – 128
Day/Weight/Comment
7/17, Tuesday – 162.4
7/18, Wednesday – 162 No gym today, instead going to do some of the digging old beds in the yard. Really want to get them all cleaned up this summer. Still going to get some gym days in but feeling good about the yard will help the overall mood = cut the snacking urges. Persistence pays off.
7/19, Thursday – 161.6 Rushed off to a mtg. last night so finished my supper very late. Conclusion this morning: late eating=poor sleep.
7/20, Friday – 161.4 No late eating … when I felt a craving just thought, “Do I want a good sleep tonight?”
7/21, Saturday – 161.4 Gym yesterday, crazy day for interruptions but did get some things done. When mindless surfing the other day I came across an article on how to get out of a lot of debt. (Why I read it I don’t know as we have no debt.) The thing that hit home with me was, “Start with your smallest debt and get rid of it so you can feel the accomplishment and have momentum to keep going.” I going to use that for my mile long job list today. Start with the little things that are bugging me but quick to do. How does that relate to food? If I feel overwhelmed, I eat – not good.
7/22 - Forgot in my rush to get out of the house early.
7/23, Monday – 160.8 Will happily take this number! Getting stuff done on the “list of things that are bugging me” may be working – yesterday was clean out the freezer so today can stock up on some groceries and do some food prep.
7/24, Tuesday – 160.6 Crazy day yesterday – started late and was running behind all day. Did finally find some better shoes for wearing at the gym and got some basics in the freezer.

Then towards evening it hit me. My body screaming at me, “WHAT DID YOU DO?!!” 🤣😂 The soreness has eased up this morning. Just have to remember that it will get better. The more exercise I do, the better I’ll feel.
You sound like me after my "Burpee Incident," @spookytune. I walked around like I was broken for a couple of days.
@puttyputty I did the same last night! Mentally I knew I’d feel like that just getting back into it, but physically i felt like I was ran over by a dump truck lol. Just have to keep reminding myself that it does get better. And when that doesn’t work, remind myself that I want to be in better shape for my mini-vacation in October and not huff and puff with every couple of steps I take.4 -
Thank you to everyone for your concern, comments and prayers for my Granddaughters friend and her Grandmother. The initial report was that they were victims of a drunk driver, but I learned later on in the day that that wasn't necessarily true. The police are investigating. All around tragedy. The mother of the little girl not only lost her only child, but her mother as well. The mother is a teacher at the daycare my granddaughter goes to, so she probably will not return. Her mother is gone, so no consoling factor for her grief. The woman that killed them is only 22 years old. For the rest of her life, she will live with the fact that she caused two peoples deaths. I dearly love children and I'm an emotional person, so yesterday was a crying day on and off until the end. So very sad.
I don't know if my granddaughter or any of the children at the daycare knows about what happened. My DIL was telling me that the daycare director seems to not want the parents to tell their kids. She wants to tell them when they are all together at the daycare. My DIL wants to tell my granddaughter, my son wants the daycare to handle it. I side with my DIL on this matter.15 -

Day/Weight/Comment
7/17 210.6 Was disappointed. Hoping to go down had really watched what I had ate. Had a late supper because I had worked late, maybe…. Tomorrow is a new day. Need to drink water and watch what I eat.
7/18 210.4 at least in the right direction. If only I didn’t LNE last night. Urggg.
7/19 209.3 That was a great start to my day!!!!
7/20 207.8 Yes! Yes! Amazing! What a shock. No LNE last night! This could motivate me to stop eating so late and so obsessively
7/21 206.7 I don’t feel this is deserved (but I will take it) my inactivity yesterday is bound to show up some day.
7/22 206.1 Yeah!
7/23 207.2 Not surprising. Happy Monday
7/24 204.4 Ok time to go down again.

Hi, @mthomas0228, do you have a recipe you can share? I wouldn't mind having another protein muffin recipe, though I'm not generally a huge fan of blueberries.
@puttyputty
2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
¾ tsp baking soda
½ tsp fine sea salt
3 eggs
⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
1 teaspoon vinegar (white or cider)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup blueberries - fresh or frozen (I used fresh, which I think taste 100% better than using frozen)
Whisk together dry ingredient. Whisk eggs, add in remaining wet ingredients & then add to dry ingredients. Stir to combine and gently add in blueberries. Bake in muffin tin with liners at 350 for 14-18 minutes, Makes 10 muffins not 12.

This much drop in a day must be a fluke. We shall see tomorrow. Don’t really see how it can be stable here, so expecting it to stabilize at this weight over the next few days. Worked out yesterday and ate within my goal. Did eat much cleaner and healthier yesterday with lots of water, to balance out Chinese takeout over the weekend. Think I need a day of full rest from workout but let’s see what happens today. Sleep hasn’t been the best, need to make a point to go to bed earlier.
7/18 - 116.4
7/19 - 116.2
Barely 5 hrs of interrupted sleep. Exhausted the entire day. Working out was a struggle, no surprise there. Ate within range.
7/20 - 116.4
Lack of sleep and sore from yesterday’s workout. May be water retention from muscle recovery. I’ll have to wait and see. Getting enough sleep needs to be a priority.

Lowest weight & BMI so far!!
- 63.7 pounds (I had no idea I had this much to lose.) I will reassess when I get to 163 lbs. My doctor says my frame is medium-large. I’m guessing I have ~10 pounds more to lose, but who knows? I’m just taking it slowly. Quite the adventure.
7/21 165.4* Trend wt: 165.0**!! Loss/wk: 0.7**
I was bummed, but expected, that there would be a bounce up, but this is why I LOVE weight Trend apps (Happy Scale-iPhone, Libra-Android). Even at this wt, I have lost 3.0 Pounds in 30 days AND my Trend wt is lower than actual weight. I felt instantly better. Lowest trend weight yet! #There’sAlwaysSomethingToCelebrate

Very crazy. I’m sure it will bounce around, but I’m happy. I guess my body’s making up for the plateau-ishness of the past few rounds! No complaints. Inches coming down, too. Usually I get wt loss or inches. This is such a mental game: once I really felt comfortable losing more (worries about skin), I did - and my skin is actually looking better.

My DIL was telling me that the daycare director seems to not want the parents to tell their kids. She wants to tell them when they are all together at the daycare. My DIL wants to tell my granddaughter, my son wants the daycare to handle it. I side with my DIL on this matter.
Me too, @tiabirdie56
I side with your DIL, too. The director may be concerned that children will here from other children if they are told earlier than others. The director could ask parents to tell their children on a particular evening & then the school could process it the next day & days to come with the children.
As a former teacher of young children, I found young children do not process death as we, adults, do. After all, many of them think rocks are alive! They don’t realize the finality of death. For months/years, they may ask when they will see the deceased again. And they can ask many questions that can make adults uncomfortable.
Because death is so intertwined with each family’s beliefs (from deep religious beliefs “we will see them again in Heaven” “their work here on Earth was done” to atheistic “it was an accident” “they stopped breathing” “the police are investigating”, I think it best that each family handles it — at least initially.
Huge hugs to you.4 -

Everybody here has been through this, and everyone thinks they look much worse than they truly appear (except me. i can ruin a video with just a brief background appearance). I'm looking at your profile picture and I'm sure you looked beautiful.
These days everyone has a phone, which means everyone has a camera. I miss the days when people would take my picture and have to drop the film off at the drug store when I was three states away.
Keep up the good work for your health. You already look great.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
7/17 134.0 Happily maintaining below 135. We didn’t eat until almost 5 so yesterday was a one meal day. My first keto-versary 167.5 to 134 in one year by changing to the ketogenic way of eating with no exercise.
7/18 132.5 DH, DD#2 & grandkids x3 were supposed to go 6 Flags in Missouri but DH has done something to his neck. He and I have no car here so no one left and kids will miss 6 Flags.(My diagnosis is pinched nerve which was tentatively confirmed by Urgent Care doc)
7/19 132.0 DD#2 just texted they are on the way. Two kids have to fly back to Las Vegas tonight because their mother won’t allow them to do something extra with our daughter. Family reunion is Saturday in southern Illinois. Now DH and I will be able to attend DHD#1’s graduation party on Saturday.
7/20 133.0 Had dinner late (waiting for DD#1 who is a nurse) at Cici’s. Pizza in a bowl, no crust. An interesting video I saw yesterday — https://www.facebook.com/JamesSmithPT/videos/
7/21 132.5
7/22 133.0 Yesterday we celebrated our granddaughter who graduated on Tuesday from the Women in Recovery program. I ate a small piece of cake but everything else I had was within my plan.
7/23 133.0
7/24 133.5. I need some bathroom time! Traveling home the next two days. Trying to do this in a bouncing car is challenging, to say the least!7 -

I usually don't buy or eat protein bars and I wasn't sure if it's something to eat in one day (maybe cut into 2) or if I should cut it in half and eat one half today and another half tom. It seems like a lot for a 28 year old female, maybe something more for a male body then a female body. If anyone could maybe give me some suggestions on protein bars that are more suitable for women or is this normal in a protein bars? ...also if it is ok to eat the whole thing in one day.
@abowersgirl like @denswrex I use protein bars as a "harm reduction" type treat, and they don't seem to creep on me too much. When I was in a deficit I always saved about 200 cal for a night time treat and it was often such a bar. Also I run and am otherwise active, and eat mostly vegetarian so getting protein is something I pay attention to.
If looking for something more nutritionally suited to women's averaging-smaller lean mass, I like Luna Protein - Luna goes around 170 cals a bar not 220-250 and the protein is 12 grams or so.6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
7/17...176...trudging along. Looking forward to a drop in the weight eventually.
7/18...177...😒. Still staying within my means and exercising daily. It's been crazy hot and our ac hasn't been able to keep up so sleeping has been a little difficult. I'm groping around for excuses, it seems. I don't know. I know it'll catch up, but it sure is frustrating when nothing seems to be changing.
7/19...177...it's been crazy hot. Ac is getting fixed today- yay! stayed below my calorie intake yesterday, just barely- but had a shot of whiskey in a little Dr Pepper at the end of the day- a very rare occurrence. Tend to avoid glutinous foods because they give me gut pain but had some last Friday. Wondering if some of this sudden weight gain is inflammation from that.
7/20...174... hmmm. Love the drop but feeling a little skeptical.
7/21...175... hubby is right, it's like that clickety wheel on the price is right- never know where it's going to land. 🙄
7/22...177...WHAT?!?!?
7/23...177...
7/24...174...curious to see what it says tomorrow 😂😂😂
