    @texasfarmer Track your macros and remember Carbs are a limit. Protein is a goal, and Fat is the lever to keep you satisfied.

    From Keto Clarity by Jimmy Moore-
    Keep carbs low
    Eat more fat
    Test ketones often
    Overdoing protein is bad.

    @shunggie Last summer my daughter went to a week long sorority event. The registration included diet requests. She listed hers (Keto) and it was totally ignored! I told her next time to note that she is diabetic (she’s not but the diet might be closer.) I know you don’t have a choice-drug reps used to bring in lunch periodically when I worked. Pick out the parts you can eat. Even cold processed meat is probably a better choice than cookies. Just sayin’

    @StefanieBerger88 Carbs make me retain water. DRINK, DRINK, DRINK!

    @Astrue You don’t need to eat back your exercise calories if you aren’t hungry. Back in the day, WW allowed us to add 1 point for each 100 calories burned but 1 point only earned the equivalent of 50 added calories so there was an automatic 50% deficit.

    Welcome back, @puttyputty, I have missed you, our unofficial greeter!

    I’m not reading fast enough and keep getting interrupted! But I started dinner before 8:30 so that’s a plus!

    @quiltingjaine Thank you for the comments. It is challenging to find the good stuff. I need to remember it's 3 meals not the rest of my life. I'll have no scale for two days anyway :)

    @AJB1014 and @tiabirdie56 We talked about getting out of those dasturdly 170's together. You guys floated a bit during the holidays, I jumped up 11+ pounds. After a few days of feeling sorry for myself, I read all the posts, got remotivated, used exercise to reenergize me and I'm on my way back down to those challenging 170's. I am confident that all of us, and all the others out there fighting their current decade, can do this with steadfastness, dedication, strength and grace. I'm on my way back to meet you! If you get to those 160's before I catch up, leave the light on for me. I'll be there as soon as I can!

    P.S. Thanks to you both for the great idea of revisiting old data to find out what we did over time that helped the most. Tomorrow I am going to take a "Donna Day" and spend some time researching. Another great tool in the toolbox!

    Love this! Thank you for sharing!!! We got this!

    @AJB1014, I know just how you feel about the 170's. I knew, once entering the decade, it would take diligence to get out. I've been playing around with the wrong carbs. I was in the 170's for a while in the early 2000's. I was okay with that then because I had quite a bit of muscle. This time I don't and I need to gain and retrain my muscles. I have read over my food diary from my early weeks on keto (when I was finally in the groove of knowing what to do) and will copy some of those meals to present. I know I can make a big improvement in getting closer to the 160's.

    I also need to gain and retain muscle! I added back in my bathroom aerobics; squats/lunges/etc (lol!) to jump start me again. I think being at 1400 calories a day is a bit on the low side for my typical appetite, so adding in some exercise so I have extra calories to eat will be helpful. I found a 30 minute strength circuit that I liked that was 10 minutes x 3 and it flew by and made me very sore...need to do that one again, and regularly!

    @AJB1014, sometimes getting back on track is extremely hard after our breaks. I love your attitude, consistency is the key, one day at a time! “170's have ALWAYS been like a brick wall” I’m looking forward to watching you break down the brick wall!!!

    Thank you @GrandmaJackie !!! <3

    Ok yall I'm just gonna jump in here and ride the NY inspiration! I have been weighing at home this past week but I need more accountability and to get back in the habit. It's not pretty but it's reality and I gotta reign in this runaway train! I know the BF % (Tanita scale) is not that accurate, but it helps me judge how dehydrated I am and helps me to understand the overall picture so I just write it down.

    @hammycakes, that's exactly how I use my night-time weigh ins (and how I used BF results when I had a scale that had them). They are additional info about where I am, hydration-wise. And you can play dorky games guessing where you'll be in the morning. I LOVE DORKY GAMES. :lol:

    @StefanieBerger88 I don't believe in luck, but I do believe in prayer! Praying you get this healthcare job if it's the path God's chosen for you. Trust God to direct your path and keep up the hard work you've done to further your career.
    Now, the rest is strictly my opinion, I'm no expert. On the weight loss goal, yes, watch out for those sneaky carbs. Don't count on your Fitbit to accurately keep track of your calories. I would compare the Fitbit count and the exercise database count and log your exercise calories from the lower of the two. Fitbit counts everything you do all day. I only count deliberate exercise, e.g., strength training, a walk, etc. Your calorie goals should go down as you lose, since your body won't need as many calories to maintain. You don't want to slip into maintenance before you reach your goal.
    Praying for your new job and your weight-loss success. You're off to a good start.

    The 170's have ALWAYS been like a brick wall to me though, for some reason it has been the end of my journey many many times, but I'm not letting it end me this time!

    @AJB1014 Keep that attitude--you can push through!

    @StefanieBerger88, good luck with the interview (I missed this on the first go round, so I'm glad others caught it). I bet you'll be stellar! Remember that they aren't just interviewing you, YOU are interviewing THEM.

    @amfmmama You posted a loss this morning, but didn't give a report on your first day of boot camp. Inquiring minds want to know! How was it?

    Day/Weight/Calories/Prev 10-day Cal Ave/Comment

    01/03 - 138.2 - 1347 - 2078
    Back on track, finally, with food & exercise. I'm interested to see how long it takes to re-lose what I gained the past 40 days.

    01/04 - 138.2 - 1540 - 2032
    Average coming down, despite a piece of cranberry cobbler last night. Had to use those cranberries! :blush: On the plus side, I had my first of three sessions with a personal trainer yesterday and have a plan for the next month until I see her again, and I've been walking/biking every day and doing weights 3 times/week. We're supposed to get up to 48 this afternoon, hopefully with no rain, so I'm hoping to walk outdoors.

    01/05 - 139 - 1686 - 1970
    Ah, the mysteries of calories, exercise, averages, and weight. I walked and hour+ yesterday, happily outdoors as it was 58F! No idea why I bounced back up. I did bake some whole wheat applesauce carrot honey muffins last night, and I ate 1, but that was only 130. I have been slacking on veggies, so that may be part of it. Onward! Have a great weekend, all!

    01/06 - 139.2 - 1612 - 1931
    We had another beautiful day yesterday and I walked along the river for an hour. Temps are headed down, though, so I'll be back indoors - I'm a cold-weather weenie. This week I'm adding a stretch & flex and a yoga class to my routine.

    01/07 - 137.6 - 1817 - 1907
    Finally trending down a little. Today's the day I restart eating against inflammation. I'm aiming for lots of fish and veggies, and am cutting dairy, gluten, and added sugar for now. We shall see. Also, recommended reading -- Food Sanity by Dr. David Friedman. He looks at various eating styles -- paleo, keto, and more - and the research that supports or contradicts them. Useful info!

    Round #64 My Round #10
    Female/49 years/Missouri

    Round 55 * -3.2 (I was sick)
    Round 56 * +1.6
    Round 57 * -1.8
    Round 58 * -1.5
    Round 59 * -0.04
    Round 60 * -0.06
    Round 61 * -1
    Round 62 * -2.2
    Round 63 * -0.03

    OSW - 213
    CW - 182.9
    RGW - 181.5
    UGW – 135

    01/03 - 182.9 Whoosh! I am going to pretend that ugly 185 number didn't happen yesterday because this is where I expected to be - just took another day. The holidays are over and I am down - only .03 pounds but it's down. As long as the weather holds out I'll go for a walk this afternoon. I should be able to get in 3 miles before it's too dark. If I didn't have this stinky job I could really do more trail walking. Go home, get my dog and head to Kill Creek Trail for a day of romping in the chilly sunshine. Instead I'll stay here in my office and work :wink:
    01/04 - 183.2 And back up we go. This roller coaster ride is making me queasy! I got in 5 miles yesterday - the fastest I have ever walked that far. I don't care if I'm up a little bit, I'm healthier than I was 24 hours ago. I'm going to go at least 3 tonight maybe 4 who knows.
    01/05 - 183.0 The roller coaster goes down. I did eat back all of my calories yesterday, which I never do so I'm glad to see a small reduction today. I got to leave work a little early and talk a nice sunny winter 3 mile walk. Finally taking Christmas down today - that will burn some calories :) Then a walk this afternoon and then WHO KNOWS!
    01/06 - 182.7 I did get in 3 miles yesterday. Took down the tree and spent quality time with family. That's as good as a Saturday gets. Today taking the Christmas stuff I went thru to goodwill and another walk I think. I'm traveling for work this week and need to exercise while I can. I won't be able to on Tuesday or Wednesday so walk today, gym tomorrow, two days off then back on the trail on Thursday.
    01/07 - 183.0 After a one day dip the roller coaster goes up a bit. Probably the sodium from yesterday's lunch. I was under on calories and walked 4 miles. I'm not sure what else I can do but stick to the plan and know it works. I have five days left and I'm afraid I'll be right where I started. I have a four hour drive this afternoon then I'll stop at a gym close to my hotel for weights. Of course my food will be difficult this trip because I will have limited options for food tomorrow and Wednesday. I'm going for training where they bring in sandwiches, then a company dinner, then more sandwiches the next day. I hate these trainings where we don't get to go to lunch but have to eat whatever is brought in. I'm picky and do not like cold sandwiches. First world problems I know but when you're watching what you eat it's impossible to avoid sodium - it will be sliced turkey, beef, chicken, or ham. ALL salt bombs. Overly mayonnaise potato salad and cookies for dessert. The only thing I like is the cookie. They feel they're being healthy by offering turkey on wheat, and oatmeal raisin cookies. Maybe this time will be different. Maybe...
