I am no weight loss expert. Some things to think about.

• Real whole foods may keep you feeling more satisfied than liquids.
• Sounds like you are eating your maintaining calories, you may need to adjust your calories/macros to put your body in weight loss mode.
• Carbs and sugars will make you crave them more. Time to clean up your diet. Check your protein vs your carb intake.

02/12: 209.2 - My son’s 6th birthday, and my 1st day on maintenance while we have a guest. Stayed under goal despite dining out for lunch and birthday cake in the evening. 🍫

02/13: 209.6 - Leftover birthday cake blew my goal out of the water. Luckily it was a small cake, so it’s gone now. It was so rich; I think I’ll be good without dessert for a WHILE! 🍫🍫

02/14: 210.6 - Not surprising, given the past two days. I need to drink more water. Went out to lunch and had a large burger, but still stayed under goal; I was too full for dinner! 🍔

02/15: 210.4 - Spent the whole afternoon at the park, including a picnic lunch. Under goal. 🌳

02/16: 209.0 - Looks like I’ve recovered from the birthday celebrations! Maybe maintenance wasn’t necessary during this visit... my appetite seems to have adjusted. 🤷🏻‍♀️

02/17: 207.8 - New low! Previously 208.4 ⭐️

02/18: 207.2 - Yay! ⭐️

02/19: 207.6 - I debated switching back to my deficit this week but I know this week will involve Dim Sum, a new Cantonese place, and a theme park sooo.... I’m gonna stick to the plan. 🎯

02/17 203.8. It’s going to be a tough one today. Taking a road trip with my daughter and there is always bad eating. Oh well. Tomorrow is a new day and I need to get food for the rest of the week. I always do better during the week than on weekends.
02/18 203.4. No work today because of the holiday. I was able to stay on track with my food and got groceries for the rest of the week. I’m feeling good about the next three days for the challenge, even though I didn’t set a goal. ☺️💁‍♀️

How I spent my long weekend. (Family day here in Ontario) I have never mastered crochet - my pass time is various types of embroidery. Today I got this project up to the 2/3 mark. Only 140 more rows to go.

02/15: 191 lb. Indulged in Starbucks this morning and then had far too much cheesy pasta for lunch. Not exactly a great start, but I intend to improve.
02/16: 188.9 lb This is closer to my normal 'current weight'. I'm assuming yesterday's number was due to retaining water weight from some bad food earlier this week. Also, the fiance and I waited until today to celebrate Valentine's day - I resisted overeating movie snacks and made us a healthy steak and salad dinner. Yay!
02/17: 187.2 lb - Did a massive deep clean of my apartment today; was cleaning most of the day, so it was a nice workout. Also food prepped for the coming week - nice to see all those little meal boxes in the fridge and not have to worry about what I'm doing for breakfast or lunch the rest of the week.
02/18: 187.2 lb - no change. Also had massive junk food cravings today and let myself get way too hungry before lunch, so I ended up scarfing some chips and m&ms. I'll have to be more careful about making sure to bring a healthy morning snack.

@allmannerofthings OMG I love to cross stitch but unfortunately I think I am too ADD to stick with it long enough to finish it. I have a HUGE 23rd Psalms project I should get back out and try to work on.....again.

SarahG626

Ladies and Gentlemen - I am going to need some serious prayers. My almost 97 year old grandmother fell on the ice tonight and has fractured her pelvis. Not her hip, thank goodness. Mom and I just finally got home from the hospital (6 hours later). They admitted her for now and will see the orthopedic specialist tomorrow. Right now there is no talk of surgery but she is more than likely going to need to go to a rehab facility for extended care until she is able to be up and around on her own. She lives alone but it’s only a mile away from our house. She is VERY independent and feisty as all get out. She was PISSED when they told her she had broken her pelvis.

allmannerofthings

@SarahG626. sending prayers and good wishes for your Grandmother. For crossstitch I usually have a bunch of different projects going and switch back and forth.

@SarahG626 - Sending prayers. I know what it's like to have a feisty grandmother fall and break something.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12: 204.7 Having one of those days that I want to eat a *lot*. Which means I’m not hungry but want to keep eating. But I’m fighting it and so far so good. Thankfully this doesn’t happen often.

02/13: 203.7 Back on track today. I’m 10 lbs down from my original start weight. Yay!

02/14: 203.7 Thank goodness cravings are gone. I’m happily skipping the candy this year. We had some at work and I was able to say no.

02/15: 203.0. Feeling good. Going to have some temptations tomorrow since we are going to visit relatives out of town. I’m just going to plan for a little extra calories and get right back to my healthy WOE the next day.

02/16: 203.4 Ate some peanut butter which I know always moves the scale up a bit.

02/17: 203.7 Visiting family and indulged a bit. Back to it today

02/18: 203.5 Eating better and tracking all food.

02/12--212.7 Tried to go out for a run yesterday, but heavy wet snow started before I could get out. Raining today, so may try again later.
02/13--212.9 Haven't run since Saturday, ugh!
02/14--212.3 First weight training session with my trainer is this evening. My trainer has already sent me what we would be doing this evening and I noticed that there are a lot of exercises and while most of the exercises are familiar to me, there are some exercise I have never heard of. Weather is starting to warm up a little and the snow/ice is starting to melt, so hopefully I can get out running some time this weekend.
02/15--212.5 I had my first training session yesterday and it was great. Having a trainer is a kind of weird experience because you have this person constantly watching you to make sure you have proper form. After just the first session I realize that my form on some exercises is not as great as I thought it was and I can be pretty lazy, there were some exercises that we did that I knew if he wasn't there I would not have done that many reps. At the same time the training session also made me realize that if I just push myself a little I can do a lot of things that I thought I couldn't do. I was thinking of going for a run today, but I think I will take the extra time off to recover from yesterday.
02/16--213.1 I'm not surprised about the increase on the scale since I am probably still retaining water from my weight training from 2 days ago, but my weight trend is still downward. Going for a run today.
02/17--213.1 Finished W5D1 yesterday. I hadn't run in a week and wasn't sure if I should continue on with the training progression or if I should redo the previous week. Well, I decided to just continue on and if I wasn't feeling great then I would just reduce the amount of running. Well, I finished the first running interval and felt great, so I continued on and was able to finish without any problems. Today is a rest day, but I want to make sure that I do some stretching and foam rolling.
02/18--213.4 Finished W5D2 today. Personal trainer tomorrow.

ROUND 68 (Round 13 for me)
5’5” 67 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 135 lb.
I started Round 54 and Keto WOE on September 24, 2018.
Cumulative weight loss for Rounds 54-67 = 38.4 lb.
NSVs: Besides wearing smaller clothing and my wedding band fitting now, my blood pressure has been lower on my last couple of doctor visits and when I’ve checked it at home.
I like you folks, and I really appreciate and enjoy your company. Besides, I’m not sure I can stay on track without you!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 137.2 I only ended with a .2 lb. loss last round, but I’m starting this round 2.2 lb. lower than my weight yesterday. My scale likes to torment with me. On a high note, I’ve been experimenting with not logging calories, just following keto guidelines, and I think I can do it. Starting out, I had to track everything, but I think I’ve got the hang of it now. I keep experimenting with keto recipes that appeal to both me and my husband. I just add pasta or rice or potatoes to his meals. I’m trying to reach my GW by the end of this month.
02/13 137.8 Not bad, considering yesterday was a 2 lb. drop and I was up early this morning. After lunch with the Red Hat ladies, I did one tax return, then took Thor on a 6-mile walk. One of our Red Hat ladies, Ruby, celebrated her 85th birthday last week. Ruby is trim and let us know she jogs, because walking is boring. Ruby’s my new role model!
02/14 137.6 Better than nothing. Today, my hip was sore all day. It hurt when I started walking yesterday (from arthritis in back, per my doctor), but I hadn’t experienced hip pain since September, so it took me by surprise. I won’t have time to walk again until Sunday, so I should be all better by then.
02/15 137.4 Slowly, but surely. Hopefully, I’ll get below my start weight before the end of the round, but probably not tomorrow. It will be an early day to leave for a couple of concerts 2 ½ hours away. It will probably be close to midnight before I get home tomorrow evening—long day ahead. Time for bed now! Hope everyone has a great weekend of fun and relaxation, but not overeating or over-drinking! 😊
02/16 DNW I got up and raced out early yesterday morning. Yesterday was a good day, but we didn’t get home until almost midnight.
02/17 137 I see it’s going back down. When I saw the number this morning, I couldn’t remember if it was good or bad. There’s too much going on to keep my head straight. Other than my pushups and sit-ups, I’m not exercising today.
02/18 136.6 I worked this morning and did my sister’s tax return. She took me to lunch, and I had my favorite green salad with grilled shrimp. I ate half for lunch and had the rest for dinner this evening. My husband and I spent at least 3 hours working in the yard this afternoon, so Thor didn’t get a walk. Our yard is an acre, so Thor ran around while we worked. He sniffed every blade of grass, ate a little of the organic fertilizer, chased a squirrel, and warned the cows to stay away from the fence. My husband and I will have sore backs tomorrow, but we accomplished a lot.
