@dowhatrightis after putting it in the oven did you flip it half way through the cooking time, before taking it out and putting on the toppings? I made the mistake of not doing that once and it was mushy and fell apart i
My hand.

What I do also is 3/4 cauliflower and 1/4 broccoli. For some reason it tastes better with a mix of broccolli or if you are more of a broccoli fan then cauliflower you can put a bit more.

During Round 1, went from 245-240ish. I use an analogue scale, so exact numbers aren't available. I have suffered with eating disorders so pulling my hair out over less than 2 lbs difference isn't healthy for me. As such, as with last round, I'm only posting my weight on days 1, 5, and 10.

Day/Comment

12/04
Weight is 241 today. BUT... I took some pants out of the closet. We're talking pants I've never worn because they've never fit. But I could button them and zip them and didn't have to INHALE AND SUCK IN. They weren't comfy yet, but I anticipate by the end of this round, I'll be wearing them. These are pants I bought last time I was doing lots of cardio because they were just a hair too small then, I loved them, and they were the last pair the store had. I anticipated getting into them, but never did. I will, though!

12/05
I bought a new Jillian Michaels video on amazon today (Banish Fat, something something, it's the top result on Amazon if you punch in her name), because I just could not even touch Shed & Shred this morning. I thought, maybe it's because my legs don't wanna do these EXACT moves again so soon. And I was right to a degree, but I stopped after 20 minutes. I needed some recovery today. But I think I'm getting a little addicted to getting my heart rate up, hah. I just FEEL better when I do some hard cardio and didn't wanna skip getting SOME, at least. So, I watched through the rest of the video and totally worth the very cheap $7. I can do all of those moves from my room... unlike Shed & Shred, the second half of which would require me to do moves that I just don't have the space to do.

After that, pretty much cooked all evening. I made cauliflower pizza and quiche and ribs, for the next several days. Cauliflower crust was too many carbs and not a good enough texture for so much EFFORT, dang. It didn't even hold up as a pizza crust, just sorta mushy, and I drained the crap out of it. Maybe I'll just buy cauliflower crust from Trader Joes. Those actually work fine. But note to self: Don't basically go and process a vegetable to remove all its water and then expect the carb counts to be good/ for it to be filling. Just because you did it at home doesn't mean it isn't processed. I would have been much more satisfied with butter fried cauliflower, a soft boiled egg, all with a cream sauce and the same toppings as the pizza. And wouldn't have effectively turned a whole head of cauliflower into one cup of unfilling substance.

I also had to go and make myself a cream tea and eat a couple of fat bombs after pizza. Was NOT enough fat on there even drowned in cheese. Fat bombs filled me up, though. At 1400 calories as of writing this. I've had a 1700 calorie goal this whole time and haven't hit it the past couple days. Don't know if this is good or worrying to be having 200-300 calories less than goal.

Have a good evening everyone!

Under the Spoiler is Days Before Today

12/06
I weighed myself this morning after a lot of night time bathroom trips again. More water weight coming off. I'm not posting a new weight until day 5, though. Been a bit of an emotional day. I probably won't go on a prolonged blah blah about my food, because it's 4PM and I haven't even eaten yet. I did get 25 minutes of the Banish Fat workout, though. A few minutes more than last time. That seems to be what happens every time I go into a new workout. I do a little more every time until my body is used to the full set. This one might take more than a few rounds, though. This video is divided into circuits and I did three circuits today. Tomorrow I'll either see if I can do four, or see if my body will agree to Shed & Shred again. Banish Fat isn't as hard on my lower body, in terms of muscle strain, but DAMN, that cardio is intense.

What I do wanna write about is how weird it is to see a muscle in my neck. I don't know how to deal with this. There's something and I know people can go through it with weight changes, and it's really weird to me. Even though I'd rather be thinner and feel as good as I'm starting to feel, it still seems a little like, when I look in the mirror, there is an alien in it, doing a REALLY good impression of me. But isn't getting it quite right. The alien is a little too lean. Things have changed. I have identity issues from childhood trauma, so this is pretty big for me. But I'm not going to let it stop me this time. I do think it affected me last time, and the reason it was detrimental, wasn't that it happened, but because I never spoke of it.

Guys, I'm really happy I'm losing weight, and I feel good, but the mirror is really strange right now. Does anyone else feel like this? Can we be friends?

Starting Weight 175-178
Current Weight 155.0 end of round 60
Goal Weight 140

Hopefully I can be really good in this round and be in the low 150's consistently. My DH will be gone this whole week on a business trip so it's just the kids and I. I haven't figured out if that is going to be good for me or really bad for me yet. I ended the last round kind of high so hoping to start this one lower right away. Ending on a Monday is probably never going to work in my favor. The weekends are my enemy!

12/04 - 153.4 This is what I was wanting to end the last round with, but that Taco Bell from Saturday night killed me for 2 days. Oh well, ate below calories again yesterday because I knew I was going to lunch today. My sister has been deployed for the last year and is coming home. We are all meeting her at the airport and taking her to lunch. Going to try and eat sensible, but no matter what I do I always gain when I eat out. At least I saw this today and I'm just going to enjoy myself. Hopefully won't hurt me to bad tomorrow. If I can finish this round at 152 or 151 I will be happy.
12/05 - 153.2 Loss of .2, I will take it. Went to lunch yesterday and still had a little loss. Little mile stones are what I need now. Chose healthy foods and didn't have an alcoholic drink. I also had a light dinner once I got home and it all worked out. Have my day planned again today, so maybe I will see 152.xx tomorrow.
12/06 - 152.4 Back down to last Saturdays weight. I have been all over the place this time around. I think my husband being gone this week has been a little more stressful than I thought it would be. Did well on calories yesterday and so far today. Hopefully by tomorrow or Saturday I will see a lower number.

12/04 - 240.5lb - - slightly up, no reason for this as I created ample deficit yesterday so hopefully will see it drop off in the next few days. Story of my life 😂.
12/05 - 240.5lb - - same as yesterday. Plus side atleast this is my sticking point at the moment in the lower range of the last week or so.
12/06 - 239lb - - a new low so cant complain it was a low calorie day yesterday and so I may see this fluctuate slightly tomorrow as today I plan to have around 1500kcal, still a decent deficit. I drank lots yesterday as well so probably helped with some of the water retention. I’m happy with this
12/07 - 239.8lb - and we’re back up again but hey I knew it would happen and know I still created a deficit yesterday so will just be retention. A low day today so will hopefully see this drop back off and stay off 😅. Not too discouraged as getting used to the fluctuations

Tue 12/04 - 71.4kg
This is not great, up 1 kg from yesterday, but I suppose it is the weekend showing - little water, lots of salt and snacks. And last night also turned into a little bit of a binge once again.
Plan for today: food for today weighed and logged, salad and crackers for lunch, fruit snacks. Treadmill after work, healthy dinner with lots of veg and enough to have left over tomorrow. Early night so i get up for yoga in the morning.
Wed 12/05 - 70.8kg
This looks better. Stuck to my plan, went on the treadmill (35mins run and 20mins brisk walk with an incline), had my healthy dinner minus baked potatoes as I burned them, oops. But that meant I had some cals for snacking left over.
And I got up to start today with some yoga despite a terribly hot night, healthy breakfast, lunch will be a guess as I have a meeting. But dinner is ready and waiting for me after the gym.
Thu 12/06 - 70.5kg
Right direction despite not sticking to the plan yesterday. The lunch meeting was very nice steak, the beef here is amazing, no chips. But then I was invited to a pub quiz, which meant I only managed a very short run plus my legs were sooo tired from Tuesday. At the quiz, food was provided and I had to estimate again and also couldn't say no to a couple of beers.
Today, I was too tired to get up for yoga and also won't be going to the gym as I have a lot of work to do and today really want to make it to bed by 10pm.

Fri 12/07 71.4kg
Ugh, I am an idiot. LNS got me, because 'I deserved it' doing work in the evening, being tired and missing home. I am not liking this trend, I was 2kg down from this last week. It wasn't all bad at first, did yoga last night and one American Housewife episode worth of body weight exercises. I discovered that I can use my stairs as a step and still see the TV Didn't log the exercise as I didn't know how to quantify, but I worked up a little sweat. However that surely wasn't enough for the popcorn and pretzles I had after a healthy dinner. So I stopped logging those snacks after the second trip to the kitchen. 😩
I realise that I often eat the same or more cals in fruit and snacks as I do in meals. I need to review and change that. I love my little snacks, they aren't all too unhealthy, but it means I'll never break the habit.
Today, yay, Friday! we only work until 1-2pm in the afternoon - the other days are a bit longer instead - so I will go to the gym for a longer run&walk in the afternoon. I also started this morning with yoga and cucumber water (I can't stop running to the loo). I have packed a slightly bigger portions of breakfast and lunch instead of extra snacks, only fruit for now. Hopefully, that will set me up for the gym later.

@Deviette Hugs for pausing the Fitbit. I got a new HRM at the end of October and there is a learning curve! I forget to tell it to start or forget to tell it to save. I’ve messed up more than a couple of times. I’m just old school and not used to using an APP!

...

I have a tendency to forget to put it back on again when I take it off for judo, so I lose all my steps for some time afterwards and then it tells me that I've done barely any for that day.
And I always forget there's a generic "workout" option on it too (aka, great for when I decide to dance around the house for no reason.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/04: 67.2 - More fluid retention. Everything hurts from training yesterday because I worked really very hard (and threw a couple of people I normally struggle against, so winning!). Cake in the office, but with the number of calories I get extra from judo the cookie and small slice of cake was not a problem. I do love it when things work out well like that. Considering going to a run today, but might leave it for tomorrow and just do some gentle stretches out today as seriously, everything is screaming at me. I really wished I had foam rolled last night. Water was better yesterday, still probably lower than I would've liked, but better than it has been recently.
12/05: 67.5 - Well that's my one day not in deficit sorted for the round. I was hoping to go longer on that but I'll live. I deserve that scale rise. Lazy day yesterday, I think I'm coming down with a cold, however I need to go for a run today (as I didn't get out yesterday) so I'll have to push through and manage. Yesterday would have been fine were it not for all the food that was around, and for some reason, my unhelpful hunger come dinner time causing me to over eat there too. Did well for water during the day, and then didn't drink anything once I got home, not a great situation, but still better than previously. I have a water bottle on my desk at work now so I'm hopeful that'll keep me sipping all day.
12/06: 66.6 - My scale weight really is all over the place at the moment. If I wasn't getting NSV I'd be super bummed. Good day yesterday, and went for a run. Run wasn't great, my feet were really killing me, although my lungs were fine. Pup behaved himself on the run and I actually really enjoyed it. Just wish I could've gone longer without my feet hurting. Also, pretty sure I missed off a small amount at the end as I paused my fitbit by accident. More than somewhat frustrating. Drank much better yesterday, still need to make sure I drink enough in the evening, but was certainly better than the last few days.

12/07: 66.8 - That's more like it, tbh yesterday's massive jump down was never going to stay there, but this is more like what I was expecting to see. Small deficit yesterday, but a deficit is a deficit. Eating was okay but not helped by the fact we ended up in the pub for dinner (steak night, yaaaas). And spent some time putting our christmas tree up, feeling in the holiday mood now! Water intake was better, but I still wasn't drinking enough in the evening. Looking forward to going for a run this evening, and hopefully the weather will clear up.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
• A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
• Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
• The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
• Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
• The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
• When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
• Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Thank you!!! Discipline is better than motivation, at least, more reliable . To lose weight is the easiest part, but to keep it will be a challenge
