MFP Round 54
Day/Weight/Comment
9/25 178/Happy to join this group! I lost weight, using a different MFP account, 7 years ago, but I gained it back. Hope I’ve learned my lesson! Wish I’d weighed first thing this morning. 😊
9/26 176.2 (when I woke up), 176.6 (after my walk?) I’m in my first week honeymoon period.
9/27 175.6 I’ll enjoy the rapid decline while it lasts. I know that will soon change.
9/28 174.4 (when I woke up), 174.2 (after my walk) I spent too much time looking at low carb recipes and missed lunch, but it was worth it. I think I’m going to like the new recipes. Now, I don’t want to spoil my appetite for fish tacos this evening.
9/29 173.2 (when I woke up), 172.8 (after my walk). I’ll work harder today to eat all my calories. A church is feeding our singing group this evening, so that will probably help. I’ve decided follow keto guidelines, so I have to balance carbs and fiber, which is harder than I expected. I’m getting full on fats and proteins, but still falling short on calories and fiber, because I don’t want to exceed my carb limit. I’m determined to learn.
9/30 172.8 I may have had a few extra carbs last night, but I did well with my choices. It was probably the first church dinner when I didn’t had extra salad for desert. Today is a church lunch at my church. I made a low carb Twice Baked Cauliflower Casserole. I think it will be good. Singing at another church this evening, so no time for a walk today.

Day/Weight/Comment

9/25--217.1 I First time in over a week I've gotten back to my normal water drinking levels.
9/26--216.4 Back to my pre-trip weight and trend weight. Tonight is yoga, I haven't gone in 2 weeks, I so need it. I've been thinking about getting back into weightlifting, since I have stopped going to my kettlebell club. I recently moved and the club changed it's class schedule, so it's just not convenient anymore. I'm going to get a 3 day pass from a nearby gym and try it out and see if I like it, if not there are a couple of other gyms that I can try out. I'm not a big gym person, but I do want to lift weights again and this gym also has an indoor pool which is nice too.
9/27--216.0 Did some snacking last night even though I wasn't hungry. It was definitely stress related. I knew what I was doing while I was snacking, but it was almost as if I couldn't stop myself. It was weird...almost like an out of body experience. Luckily I had eaten pretty well during the day such that the extra snacking only put me over my daily calories by less than 500. Positives for yesterday was that at least I recognized what I was doing and I curtailed the amount of damage done. Today is a new day.
9/28--216.2 Still with a downward trend. Going to try out the gym today with the free pass.
9/29--216.0 Didn't go to the gym yesterday. When I got home from work I found the pallet containing my bathroom tiles delivered near my condo door. My husband hadn't come home from work yet so I spent about 30-45 mins moving the heavy tiles into the condo. I lost any small motivation I had at the time to go to the gym. Today I am taking my dog on a hike with my hiking group and then we are going out to lunch...you have to take advantage of any nice days you can get at this time of the year. I may be running around and doing some errands later depending on how I feel after the hike.
9/30--216.4 Lunch yesterday and I drank very little water on yesterday's hike. When I hike I forget to drink water, I'm so focussed on the hike I find that unless it's really hot out I don't drink as much water when I hike. Going out today to look for some paint for the bathroom and then doing some chores around the house, it's supposed to be rainy today. Trending weight is still going downward!

@kdv12. YAY! Congratulations!

@FarmerCarla I’ve been doing Keto for over a year and have never worried about fiber. The vegetables I eat (cruciferous) and fats I ingest seem to do the trick. If they aren’t enough, like when we travel, I use a stool softener. Sorry if that is TMI.

@SarahHW18 Increase your fat a bit? That is what satisfies. I started with 75% fat and 20% protein, carbs 5% or less.

@Sparx_81 Water retention to aid healing muscles after workout. Don’t fret.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

9/25 130.5
9/26 131.5
9/27 130.5
9/28 130.5 Went with a friend as her guest, to the gym yesterday. Walked on treadmill 30 minutes and got 184% of steps. Went to water fitness today.
9/29 132.5 We met friends from out of town for dinner last night. It was several hours later than we usually eat. I had a salad and steak, both of which were very good. But eating late is not a good thing. I’m up 2# but know that it will pass in the next couple of days.
9/30 132.0 Did not drink enough water yesterday but had 40 oz of diet soda! I wanted “something” but made myself bloated and miserable rather than eating food I didn’t need. I think it’s a win. DH wants to ”go for a drive.” Several hours in the car and eating out.

9/28 - 181 Not enough water and no exercise.
9/29 - 179 Finally. Plenty of water, sensible eating and exercise helped. I have a tailgate party to go to today......yikes!
9/30 - 180- weighed when I got home last night and was at 179, then I had 3 cups of tea and nothing else. I ate carefully and we walked instead of Ubering, but the food must have been salty. Tomorrow will look better on the scale.🤷‍♀️

Day/Weight/Comment

09/25: 249.4 - I'm not sleeping well lately. I think it's nerves from looking for a job after being a stay at home mom for so long. I woke up groggy and sore today. I have an interview tomorrow with a staffing agency and I hope it goes well. Also, I had a chicken fajita salad last night and it was delicious. I'm going to have that more often.

09/26: 249.8 - Strength training water retention. Not worried about the slight gain at all. I had an interview this morning and they want a second interview this afternoon. I hope this is a good sign! Hopefully I will be returning to the workforce by Monday! Thanks you guys for wishing me luck!

09/27: 250.6 - Wretched scale! Lol I ate really late last night and unexpected guests nicely brought subs for everyone. I was good though and only had a 6 inch. Unfortunately, it was smothered in mayo. I tried static stretching yesterday and it felt great but I'm a little sore today. I think I'm going to go light on food today and drink lots of water. I have my final weigh-in for the September Fat2Fit challenge and hopefully the scale drops a bit before then.

09/28: 250 - I think I'm getting sick, and TOM coming up.

09/29: 250.2 - I seriously hate water retention lol. I made some amazingly delicious turkey legs last night and ate them with stuffing and corn. It was fantastic but full of sodium. I can't wait till my next whoosh. Thank you for all the congrats on the job, I love the support in this group. You all so amazing!

09/30: 249.2 - I hope this means the water retention is passing. I start work Monday and hate that I'm going to be sick my first day.

9/28 - Travel. No weigh in or post.

9/29 - 174.6 2 meals during travel. Tried to stick to healthier choices and reasonable portions. However, dessert did catch up with me at the restaurant during dinner. Spent the late evening yesterday drinking the lemon/parsley water and shedding the water bloat all night. Lookie! .2 down from before the travel and splurges. I’m very grateful and relieved.

9/30 - 173.8 Sometimes I just feel so much stronger and much more capable than other times. Most of the rounds in September have been tough for me. I have been working hard to redeem myself and get on track round 53 & 54. There is so much travel going on for me in October that I worry. One day at a time will be key…..

9/25 -- 177 --Pretty good day yesterday. Met calorie and exercise goals, but succumbed to the peach coffee cake my husband made over the weekend and ate a whole piece instead of just a bite.
9/26 -- 177 --Again ok on the exercise and calorie front. But the carbs lost to a really nice milk stout....
9/27 -- 177.5 -- And again. Hit the exercise, missed by a little on the calories. Big fancy meal out with my husband and had a small dessert. Over on carbs again. But the next 7 days I should be out of excuses...and my fitbit is up and running again
9/28 -- 176.5 -- YAY! Walk, water aerobics and zumba yesterday. Ate back some exercise calories and only a little high on net carbs.
9/29 -- 175.5 -- Drank a ton of water yesterday and ate well. Also took a walk and did a killer water aerobics workout. Hoping this number sticks!
9/30 -- 176.5 -- Sigh. Got up and went to zumba yesterday and had a bonus 80 minutes (instead of 60). Happy hour at a neighbors for dinner. Stuck to low carb stuff and 1.5 glasses of red wine. Ate back some but not all of exercise calories. Not surprised that I'm up a little. I feel a bit bloated. We will see what happens tomorrow.

9/25 / 220.2

9/26/ 220 / Life is crazy. Dealing with fallout from husband's cancer diagnosis (latest word that it may be benign! Fingers crossed!) and the resulting crazy uncertainty.

9/27 / 219.6 / So tired.

9/28 / 218.8 / I exercised a TON yesterday, though I'll admit that it was partially so I could have some cake. Sometimes, I just want some cake. I did a workout at a higher level than ever before (3 sets instead of 5) and feel a bit smug at my progress. I'm still tired today, and I don't have more news, but I don't feel quite so sick tired as I did yesterday. Progress!

9/29 / 219

9/30 / 218.8 / Exercised a lot of minutes again yesterday while watching stressful baseball games.

I’m 59, female, mostly plant based, and lover of outdoors. This is my fourth round; the first one really kept me accountable, the second one was an eye-opener and the third one was really hard. What I have learned: 1) my foods and the amounts really matter; 2) My tracking needs to be accurate and if I eat it, it needs to be tracked; 3) Don’t let a slip turn into an all-out landslide! This round’s goals: no eating after supper (and eat at the table, not in front of the TV), no trigger foods, get back up when I fall, develop a “fall” work-out plan (by 10/1/18), and to stay up-to-date with my Bible study. Honor God with my food choices!

9/28/18 – 123.4 / Still trying to find my way!
9/29/18 – 122.4 / time was tight and I ended up walking on the treadmill yesterday during a conference call! Fish fry last night (baked cod), but I did have French fries! 60 minutes of water aerobics this morning and an additional walk planned before the rain comes!
9/30/18 – 124.4 / Got a lot of steps in yesterday (20,000+) and a water aerobics class. Had popcorn last night (homemade) and that usually bring my weight up, so it’s expected. Hopefully tomorrow it’s back down. Fighting a headache today and because of that I’m fighting cravings for junk foods. Being accountable to this with you all and praying for strength. Have a great Sunday!

25/09 Nothing much of note to report today, had a lazy logging day yesterday, probably ate a bit more than I should've. I started my bullet diary again for my NSV goals. Made sure to take my vitamins and get plenty of fluids as I'm getting all the warning signs I get before I get a cold. Same aims today and to complete my bullet journal with yesterday's info.

26/09 Still not feeling great ate a bunch of rubbish yesterday again, logged it all this time at least. All goals for the day completed. Today's goal is to finish under maintenance, stay away from the supermarket and get plenty of protein/fibre in.

27/09 Feeling much better and had a much better day of food/activity yesterday and kept it up so far this morning too. Goals for today, stick to food plan, stay away from supermarket and give apartment a deep clean this evening instead of sitting on the sofa in front of the TV all night.

28/09 Yesterday's goals mostly met, did make myself a protein hot chocolate last night which took me a little closer to maintenance than I would have liked but hey that's still a deficit. Got a load of cleaning done and only spent about 40 mins watching TV on the sofa whilst I had dinner and said Hot Chocolate. Today's goals are to hydrate and try to get a lower body workout in this evening either in the work gym or at home.

29/09 Nothing much to report had another maintenance day.

30/09 Good week for everything but food not been great at the old food intake this week.

Day/Weight/Comment

9/25 - removed due to technical issue with scales
9/26 - 83.0kg, successfully fasted for 16.5hrs! I think this weigh in is on the lower end of my fluctuations where yesterday was on the upper end. It’s motivating regardless
9/27 - 82.5kg, just over 3hours left of my second 16hr fast! I’ve been weighing myself at different times of the day so getting a lot of variation. It’s great to see the scale to go down but I’m not holding onto these lower numbers just yet. The past two days I’ve weighed myself after eating, but today was before eating, so perhaps the first weigh-in was over?
9/28 - 82.8kg, weighed first thing this morning. I have just over 4hrs left of my fast, really loving IF! I have my period so I imagine some bloating is factoring in, but not too concerned, it’s a slow process and I trust it
9/29 - 82.6kg, I broke my fast two hours early yesterday and ate food that was really hard to track but that ended up being all I ate yesterday so I still think I would have been under 1200cals. I am 100% sure my first weigh in was inaccurately high, after I’ve discovered a technical issue with my scales. So I’m going to remove that first one and just go off 9/26
9/30 - 84.2kg??????? Water weight? TOM? Very big dinner (still under 1200cals for day!) I’m sure it’ll come back down soon but it was disheartening to see, and I really wanted to just quit and eat terrible food for breakfast. Staying strong and sticking to IF though!! Good thing I packed a salad for work lunch
10/1 - 82.3kg, still going well with IF. I weighed myself later in the day yesterday and was at 82.2kg which is much better than the morning weigh in!!!! Consistently staying under 1200cals too

9/25 155.6 well well well, look who decided to show lol. So apparently my mind can't adjust fast enough to my new weight (especially because I thinks it's the fastest I have ever lost) so being apart of a few groups I accidently weighed in last weekend at 166.6 instead of 156.6 😣😣 oops. Well you are all witnesses to the proof I have of my actual weight lol. But even still, every morning I still have to check 3 or 4 times because I can't believe it. Hopefully the next 10 pounds won't be as unbelievable.

9/26 154.4 whoooooooooosh!! Why, no clue. I did work out hard yesterday but still... wow. Today I have been having some anxiety. I have worked out hard and have been eating normally. I don't starve and I don't deny myself (unless it's super junk food, then that's all will power) I know mentally I have been doing everything right and my quick weight loss is all activity and portion control....but I'm starting to feel scared. I'm scared that it will be so easy to gain it all back if I jump the wagon again..I'm scared of having to do this again for 10000 time if i slack. I am looking forward to improve and not be re set into my old ways but who knows what the future holds. The only reassurance I have is not all my rounds have been perfect and weeks like last week have happened ( I was so hungry all week and pretty much had the worst eating week since I have started) but my gains haven't been too large and I still end it with losses. I am assuming as long as I never binge again I will be fine...but I don't know.

9/27 154.4 holding steady. I had munchies last night but settled for 2 pieces of dark chocolate. Worked out well but didn't do as much as I wanted. Drank 1.2 liters of water. I am feeling bloated though, 2 days away from TOM. Today I went to the hospital with my aunt, she has some inflammation in her leg and we just wanted to check it out, just in case (she is a cancer survivor so anything becomes worrisome) and to thank me for coming out she took me to a pub where we ordered chicken schnitzel and frites..it was delicious but I know it will negatively reflect on my weight tomorrow morning. Oops😞😞

9/28 154 wow. Didn't expect this. I guess I didn't do as much damage as I thought. TOM is due tomorrow and I usually expect a gain but this time hasn't seemed too bad which is kind of weird. Well see what happens tomorrow

9/29 155.8 and whoooosh back up again 😥😥😫😥 that's ok, I expected this given my TOM arrived and I am feeling crazy bloated. Yesterday I had a high sodium day as well so that definitley has something to do with it. Past couple of days haven't been great in the eating department but I am done all my responsibilities that have been derailing me so back at it today and back to regular schedule. I feel like the past two weeks have been weird so I am changing it from here on out to get back in control and stop laxing...and now that my TOM has arrived I have no excuse. Honestly I don't even care about my weight...at all I just don't want to feel bloated and puggy anymore lol... ackkkk what a day. I also am going to have to work on my mentality. I am not being negative but I am starting to feel more obsessed when I need to exchange that for greatfulness.
For example if I get in an hour and a half of cardio and no strength for the day, I need to stop giving myself a hard time because I don't think it's enough. I have to accept there aren't enough hours in the day. I have been finding that if I don't work out for 3+ hours I give myself issues...but after doing the math it just isn't possible without sacrificing eating or sleeping...so that needs to stop.

9/30 no scale. Had to get up and go grocery shopping with my mom and wasn't able to weigh in. I originally wanted to, to keep myself accountable because I had a big binge day yesterday 😣😣 wasn't good at all and got very little exercise in. So far today I have been good (probably because I am still full from yesterday's binge) but we will have to see how it reflects on my weight for tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a great weekend though 😄

Day/Weight/Comment

9/25- 188.9- was a little disappointed this didn't go down since yesterday but I'm really motivated to see the numbers go down tomorrow! Will make sure to plan and eat under calories today!

9/26- 190.1- I had rice last night. And I tend to go up on the scale any time I have rice. Will try to avoid and this better go down tomorrow. Tonight I have everything planned. Definitely not going to go back to the 190s. Hell no.

9/27- 188.3- Thank god. Did really well yesterday. Even had a slice of pizza but still under calories. Going to try to eat healthier tonight and still be under my calories. So far so good. Really want to reach my goal for this challenge. Also I'm going to the gym today after my vacation so that's good. I'm excited. I'm seeing my friends tomorrow to watch a movie but we all said we want to eat healthy so hopefully that works out.

9/28- 188.2- Wanted this to go down more since I was under my calories yesterday but I'm happy it didn't go up or something. Going in the right direction. Mini victory: Yesterday my mom made rice with kofta and I love rice but I decided to make some broccoli (which I also love) so I filled my plate with mostly broccoli and just a couple spoons of rice as well as kofta. And I stopped eating once I felt full which happened fast since the broccoli is satiating for me. That definitely helped me not fluctuate up this morning. Also I worked out yesterday. Strength training and cardio but I got tired faster than I did before vacation so have to build up to not being like that again. Crazy how quickly we can become unfit! Plans got cancelled today with friends so I'm planning on eating healthy today again! And want to be under calories so I see the scale budge more than it did today.

9/29- 187.7- woohoo! Haven't been this low in a while. Want to keep it going. Will stay under calories today even though it's the weekend! I'm determined. Also I'm still sore from working out. But will exercise today.

9/30- 186.8- yayy! Really happy about this. I've really been controlling myself. Yesterday, my mom and brother got something to eat when we went to Costco- I refused. Stayed under calorie goal yesterday. REALLY want to reach 185. It's my mini goal and I'm making good progress! I hope this doesn't stagger! Will try to be good today as well. So far so good. I've saved up some calories since I know I'm having a bigger dinner. Been snacking on blackberries and strawberries. Feeling pretty good. Will go to the gym tomorrow.
