Day/Weight/Comment

3/24 - 174.8 (FR) - 44g carbs, 36g net carbs. Carbs were: CRACKERS!, dill pickle, olives, celery in tuna, peanut butter, eggs. Yesterday was my last day of the 2 week 12/12 IF protocol. I will do it again if I think it's necessary, but only for one week. Week 1, I was definitely hungry at the end of the 12 hr fast. Week 2, I did not feel hungry until the 15th hour. My body was beginning to reset itself to my normal 18 to 20 hours of fasting.

3/25 - 173.8 - 29g carbs, 23g net carbs. Carbs were: eggs, strawberries, cabbage, cashews. My body is tired from my workout yesterday, but my weak lower body muscles are getting stronger. I've also been stretching my very tight IT band every day throughout the day to improve my knee. It's helping. I need my muscle roller massage stick today!

3/26 - 173.8 - 38g carbs, 29g net carbs. Carbs were: cabbage, peanut butter, celery in tuna, grape tomatoes, jalapenos, monk fruit sweetener (has carbs, but all fiber, no calories and no effect on blood sugar 😦??? O-kaaay) Keto friendly, resembles sugar, no aftertaste that I detect. I need to use it, bought it a year ago. The one I have is mixed with erythritol. It's 200-300 times sweeter than sugar, so why the mix? Probably, to stretch it, since monk fruit is very expensive and erythritol also has a couple of similar properties. I do have syrups and a greens food powder sweetened with only monk fruit. Very good, so good that it masks the taste of wheat grass powder which is quite nasty. Monk Fruit Sweetener

3/27 - 176 ⬅abs workout ☺ - 87g carbs, 74g net carbs. Carbs were: fried chicken, salad, cabbage, nuts. I was out all day, tired and hungry. Purchased a small snack bag of nuts, pumpkin seeds and dried fruit bits. 560 calories of really not much dried fruit or pepitas, mostly peanuts. The carb count not okay, but the calories balances the past week. I've been leaving a lot of calories behind and I don't like doing that. Did not take vitamins yesterday. It was bedtime when I thought of them. I need a lot of water to swallow pills, did not want to be running to the bathroom all night.

03/24 - 177.5 My body must love to weigh 177 pounds because I've been around here for 40 damn days. Demotivating. I know it's a plateau and I'll get through it, it's my mantra these days.

03/25 - 176.3 Well that's nice for a change. I didn't walk all weekend and at around 1700 calories (adjusting for exercise) for the last week. Now that I'm finally down a tiny bit, do I keep with the 1700 or do I go back down?

03/26 - No scale Travel time again. Drove over last night, stopped at the Katy Trail for a 3 mile walk. It was beautiful. I walked over the Missouri river that is very high, several dams have broken north of here. I took some pics. I'm going to check it again when I drive home tomorrow, see how high its gotten in 2 days. I ended up at 1445 yesterday. MFP tells me 1440 is my calorie goal, so pretty darn close. NSV ALERT: I tried wrapping one of the tiny hotel towels around me and it went around me. I was able to tuck in the corner and half my body wasn't exposed - nothing was exposed. I've been so frustrated with this process this felt like a big win. Gym tonight and and three + on the trail tomorrow. Even if I'm not losing weight I have to be healthier with all this exercise.

03/27 - No Scale Yesterday went well work wise, calorie wise, and exercise wise. Can't ask for more than that. The weather was so nice that I went for a walk instead of weights at the gym. It was a little less interesting than walking over a flooded river but still neat. I got a good pic of the sun through some flooded woods. Every creek/lake is high so there is water everywhere. I know I'm up today, I can tell by the way my rings fit - I'm retaining water. Between travel and eating out (sodium bombs everywhere) I cannot seem to stop retaining water.

03/24--213.4 Not sure why the jump on the scale. I ran my 5k this morning!

It was a lot better than I thought it would be since during my c25k training I had only ran at most 3.0km. Now I need to get ready to start my training for a 10k in June. After the 5k I had plan to rest/relax for the rest of the day, but I will go out for a walk later this afternoon to help with any soreness. I have a massage booked for Tuesday, so that should help with any residual soreness.
03/25--214.2 Jump due to soreness from the 5k. I plan on relaxing today. Trainer tomorrow.
03/26--212.5 I knew there would be a drop on the scale when I woke up this morning and didn't feel sore anymore. Tonight is the trainer and then a massage.
03/27--212.0 After talking to my nutritionist we decided that hard cheese would be the next food I would incorporate into my diet to test my sensitivity to it. Well, on Sunday I had hard cheese with all of my meals and then yesterday I could tell that something wasn't right with my stomach when I felt bloated for most of the day and did not have my regular BM. So, hard cheese is out. Ugh!

Yoga tonight.

Round 72 (my fourth)

Round 69 TL: -3.6 pounds 360- 356.4
Round70 TL -3.6 pounds 356.4 - 352.8
Round 71 -3.8 pounds 352.8-349

OSW: 382
RSW: 349
UGW: 160

03/24 347.4. I’m a little surprised at this woosh, I’ll see if it stays. I’m certain tom is starting sometime soon and I usually see a little upswing then, but hopefully I’ll still be solidly in the 340s. My nsv yesterday was staying in calorie goal despite feeling hungry a portion of the day.

03/25 347.8 Not unexpected I had a higher sodium day yesterday and I’m not sure that I got in all my water. I have both a sick kid and a kid who fell skateboarding, she’s okay just bruised, so yesterday was a little rough and it will be a rough day today. My nsv yesterday was not having any of the snacks that my husband picked up to deal with his stress.

03/26 347.2 Looks like I’m really in the 340’s, at least for now. I’ve not only reached my goal for this month, but if this trend continues I’ll be several pounds under where I had hoped to be. My nsv was not having a single bit of the high calorie snacks that my husband got.

03/27 347.8 I’m not surprised by a little gain I took a couple of longer walks yesterday. Both were further than I normally walk, the second one was nearly double the first. I’m feeling those walks this morning so I’m certain that it’s all water and I’ll see my usual pound drop after a bounce around in a day or two. My nsv yesterday were the walks outside, I’m really proud of myself for getting out and doing them.

03/24 95.5 usual little weekend bounce. Taking a bit of a maintenance weekend to see if I can get rid of this virus! So no running, no spinning and eating a little more than usual. Although I did spend all day yesterday and today in the garden getting ready for growing season. Have all my veggies down now so looking forward to a lovely summer diet of fresh vegetables from the back garden!
03/25 95.0 guess i was working harder in the garden than I thought over the weekend! Back to running this week… I have 12 days left until graduation, out of the 3 dresses the one I want to wear most turns out to be the tightest… typical… so just have to see if I can skim a little bit more off so I can wear it comfortably!
03/26 94.8 nice to be back running again, 11 days until graduation! Also... My bmi is now 29.9.... I'm just plain ol' overweight now! Not obese! Woohoo!
03/27 dnw was up late to get kids to school so had already had breakfast when I remembered I hadn't weighed! Now had the ultimate joy of trying on my dresses, 2 fit but I still feel so frumpy in them! as I've gotten older the excess seems to gather on my tummy, it used to gather on my hips, which gave me a fat *kitten* but I couldn't see it so it was fine (ish) but now I feel like I've got a spare tyre from a bus sitting around my hips and I just hate it as I can see and feel it all day! My husband is zero help as he just tells me to get used to it because it's part of getting old! I don't want the tyre and I will never “just get used to it”!

Try to do some targeted exercise for that area and tone it up; sit ups, leg raises, lying down cycling actions, planks - all whilst contracting your stomach muscles, I'm sure it will help you like it did me at my grand old age of 60 !!! x

Round 72

Please join us! Starting on 03/24 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 72
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

03/24 151.8 ~ (Steps 14,789) ~ Everyone here is doing an fabulous job, You would think this wouldn’t be this hard for me. But yet my focus these last couple of months hasn’t been here, I can give you excuses. I’m not, I’m just going to take one day at a time, taking baby steps. (Day 1 is successful )

03/25 149.3 ~ (Steps 16,417) ~ Today was tough getting going plus it rained so no evening walk. I was able to get through the day without having sweets again, that’s a win in my book. (Day 2 is successful)

Today, “Penny the Pug” was born,

03/26 149.3 ~ (Steps 9,980) ~ Yesterday morning woke up feeling iffy, sneezing and coughing, thinking allergies. I went for a short workout on the Threadmill. My husband and I had some errands to I kept busy throughout the day. Last night I was still feeling iffy so I decided not to cook. We ended up going to Popeyes for dinner. I did end up getting the Cajun rice though with a chicken wrap. On the bright side, even though I didn’t feel good, I didn’t snack, yay. Day 3 is successful

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 Didn't Weigh-in

03/25 162.3 (up 17.2 lbs from Round 57 last fall) I'm back, recommitted and ready to tackle this again. I hit my highest weight ever last June and made a plan and stuck with it and lost a good amount of weight. Not enough to get to my goal, but enough that I was in a happy place, and then I got lazy with it all. I stopped tracking everything little thing, I started to go over calories, I'd skip a workout, and then stress started creeping in. I traded in tracking, eating healthy, and exercising, which work for me in managing stress to mindless calorie consumption, poor nutrition choices, and excessive alcohol consumption. A sure recipe for failure. So here I am back to what I know works...tracking every single thing, posting here for accountability, and managing my stress by making myself and my workouts a priority. I feel ready to reclaim me again.

03/26 = 161.2 (down 1.1 lbs from yesterday, still up 16.1 lbs from Round 57 end) Overall a good day yesterday! I was under in calories, in the right target zone for macros, & made healthy food choices. I did feel overly hungry all day but that is to be expected on "day 1" and I resisted all urges to sabotage and binge eat. There was 1 Coke Zero left in the refrigerator, so I did have that but other than that only water and did not have any alcohol. I had hoped to re-start my Betty Rocker workouts but I slipped on something and took a pretty hard fall in my bedroom yesterday. I'm fine(ish) but really tender and sore on my left side, so returning to running and strength training will have to wait a few more days. I plan to attempt some gentle yoga to stretch the kinks out and then soak in a hot Epsom salt bath tonight. Have a great Tuesday everyone! "Believe you can and you're halfway there".

03/27 = 160.3 (down .9 lbs from yesterday, still up 15.2 lbs from Round 57 end) Another successful day food wise! Definitely was hungry and almost gave in to the leftover pizza that was tempting me, but stayed the course & made a delicious healthy dinner instead. I actually prefer to eat healthy, it just takes my body a few days to reacclimate and then I really only crave nutritious things, I'm not a sweets person so that helps! I was still in a fair amount of pain from my fall but another dose of Aleve and a long soak in Epsom salts seems to have done the trick. Much better today! I plan to pick-up my running tomorrow and then add back in strength training the following day. I have a get together with girlfriends this evening, so I have pre-logged my day and plan to eat my healthy dinner (leftovers from last night) before going and am able to fit in 2 glasses of wine into my calorie allotment. So there should be no surprises on the scale tomorrow, fingers crossed!

32th Round for me: Female 66, height 5’
Goal this round, starting March 23: I will be away for half of this round and then for the next 3 weeks. I thought I would start the round to keep me on track till I leave. It will be a very busy trip with not much eating out so I’m hoping to just watch portions, not overcompensate for missed meals/odd meals because of travel. I am collected a stock of healthy snacks. Other goal is to keep up my movement and water.

Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, -.2
Round 40 – on holidays, gain +1.6
Round 41 – SW 164.4, -2
Round 42 - SW: 162.6, -.6

Round 45 – SW 160.8, +1
Round 46 – SW 161.8, +.6
Round 47 – SW 162.4, -2.2
Round 48 – SW 160.2, missed most of this round and Round 49 as I was away without computer or scale.
Round 50 – SW 160.2, -.8
Round 51 – SW 160.8 -1
Round 52 – on holidays, no scale
Round 53 – SW 159.8, -1.4

Round 69 – SW 161.4, +.8
Round 70 – SW 162.2, -1.4
Round 71 – SW 160.8, no change

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 – 160.8
03/25 – 160.2 – Yesterday counted calories which kept me from over eating. Sundays tend to be a problem because meals are more random and then I don’t “feel” like I’ve eaten much when actually I have. Today off to the gym and then working away at my to-do list for going away. Have to empty my office so DH can redo the floor when I’m gone. It’s coming along but oh, my, what a lot of papers.
03/26 – 160.6 – Good day at the gym although so crowded b/c it’s spring break here. Didn’t get much on my trip list done but am home all day today. Hoping for good progress to I have time for the gym tomorrow.
03/27 – 160.6 – Rushing around doing laundry and packing and trying to organize a few things and finish a sewing project for my trip. DH jokingly says I need to go away more often – suddenly all kinds of things I’ve been putting off get done. So no gym today but lots of steps. Tomorrow may or may not post – then I’m gone for most of two rounds but will be back. Planning to watch what I eat, exercise when I can and not have any gain – or maybe even a loss?

03/24 - 149.6 Up a bit but it was pizza night. Haven't been feeling well but feeling better today. Still a little scared to eat though!
03/25 - 149 Scales going in the right direction! Ate small amounts all day. Still fighting this stomach thing but it seems a bit better today

03/26 - 149 Was happy to see it there...was at BIL for supper and he bought pecan pie for dessert - which I had because everyone else did. But it was 9:30 - I never eat past 8 so I was worried...but all good!
03/27 - 149 Well at least it didn't go up. Had a few(8) chips last night and couldn't sleep. Gut was killing me again. Thinking I might have to do a gut check and call the doc....uuuhhhgggg

So back again for another one. Round 71 I went back and forth between 151 and 150. I expected a pretty good whoosh all week but never saw it. I’m just staying on track and hoping for the best next week. Hoping to finally get back into the 140’s by the end of this round.

Day Weight Comment

03/24 - 150.9 so no whoosh yet. We have our weekly family meal today so hoping for the best tomorrow. Holding steady so far through the weekend. Come on 149 something!

03/25 - 153.6 and there is my Sunday family dinner gain! 2.7 pounds, uuugggh. My husband decided he was going to grill some t-bones last night and they were amazing. We also had grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes with it Then I decided I needed a couple of mini butterfingers. So the weight is well deserved, I am assuming mostly carbs and food still in my stomach. Anytime I eat steak it stays with me for a couple of days. Had a great Sunday though and back to eating clean today. Looking for that 149 sometime this round.

03/26 - 152.1 Got to love sodium and carbs. Should be back down tomorrow and back on track for a loss by Friday. Have all my meals planned for today and should stay under calories again. Pushing to see that 149 this week!

03/27 - 151.1 am almost back to my starting weight for the round. I was only a couple of ounces away from where I was. The scale flashed 150.7 and then stuck on 151.1. I got off and on a couple of times to try and make 150.7 stick, but it didn't, so I will have to settle for this, lol. Still not feeling 100%, allergies are killing me and now I have no voice. So just trying to drink my water and tea and get through the day. I have a roast in the crock pot for dinner tonight, so that should make tonight easier and I can get some rest.

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.

********
3/24 129.0 Had a headache after family brunch didn’t leave the house. High salt late supper at home.
3/25 129.0 No control over where visitors chose to eat but making the best choices possible for ME. No big TMI visits for a couple of days so feeling really bloated!
3/26 130.0 Still no TMI. Sweet DSIL is coming to stay with us for 3 days so eating should be much better. Taking her daughter to the airport. Going to El Pollo Loco as often as she wants because she loves it and doesn’t have it at home! (I stopped reading at the top of page 12)
3/27 128.5 How much does your weight change over night?? I was 133.5 when I went to bed last night! What a difference one day of eating and getting plenty of water can make! I’m posting before anyone else gets up and then hope to catch up on all the past posts.

My weight from the night before to the next morning fluctuates. The most I can lose overnight is 2 pounds, like last night. Usually, the average is 1.2 pounds.

Historic Round Data

03/24 - 61.1kg (+1.0) - Expected to be higher than this today! I did a 10 mile trail run yesterday and enjoyed a salty, high-carb, high-cal feast for dinner. Bit dehydrated still too. Plan today: rehydrate and not overeat to compensate for yesterday's exercise!
03/25 - 61.4kg (+0.3) - Ahhh there it is, that's what I was expecting yesterday. I had a bit of a wobbly start this morning with all kinds of treats being left in the break room. Back on plan for the rest of the day, and will just have to go without dessert tonight! TOM due and I feel like I have a cold coming as well. Hmmm.
03/26 - 60.7kg (-0.7)- and back down we go. Had a terrible day food-wise yesterday and cut my run short at the gym. Feel like I am a bit behind the ball this week. I really wish MFP would hurry up and fix the sync issues with the app because I don't have time to log in to a PC to pre-log my food! GRRRRR.

03/27 - 61.2kg (+0.5) - Oh what a day yesterday!! I had such a good plan! But then I had a really rough start to the day, followed by work stress, followed by treats in the work kitchen and lots of emotional eating, then a colleague offered a post-work wine and whine which also involved more snacks. I didn't want to hop on the scale this morning! I'm still here though, so that counts for something, right?

03/24 - 289.4 - I walked to church this morning and was glad I made it up the steep hill. I'm getting stronger. It still took my breath away, but the stairs up to the church posed no problem. I plan on walking in an hour for about an hour. Only 14 more pounds to my next milestone goal.
03/25 - NW - I plan to go walking later today. I always think I can't do it, then I prove myself wrong. I've been hitting my active hours as well on my Fitbit. I'm feeling more hungry today for some reason. I'm thinking of eating my snack earlier instead of later. Food is still on point.
03/26 - 291.6 - Not sure what happened. My period is kinda lingering so that could be the source. I didn't get any exercise in, but I did get some more cleaning done. Food is still doing good. I've added in chopped spinach to my meals.
03/27 - 288.4 - Most likely just water weight yesterday. It's gone. Food is going good today. I added in turkey sausage to my breakfast for some extra protein. I have also increased the size of my evening snack as I think my calories were dipping too low. I have been busy cleaning again today in preparation for the housekeeping inspection tomorrow. If my package arrives early enough I will go for a walk around the community the room later.

03/24 - 166.8 - did w1d1 of c25k for the 2nd time ( repeating 1st week to avoid moving too fast).
03/25 - 167.8 - Gained from the day before as I had a little too much fun for Sunday Funday

woke up early for a short Core workout and walked 35 min on my lunch break. PM workout included some more core strength workout using a Noelle Benepe circuit (check her out on Instagram) and a 20 min cardio video
03/26 - 166.4 - have to go home on my lunch break so no walk at lunch time today. Plan to do W1D2 of C25k this evening. It is a beautiful sunny spring day. Chilly, but sunny. Will also do another round of NB's core strength workout. I am working on my core to improve my balance in the tack (horseback riding...dressage).
03/27 - 165.8 - did what I said I would yesterday so thats good. W1D2 was repeated although it was tough because I didn't have my correct running shoes on. Again no walk on lunch break today because I had to go home. Will walk tonight 30 min and do a lot of stretching. Have bursitis in my hip that is flaring up so need to do some hip stretches. Had leftover porkchops and rice from dinner last night so had that for a very filling, low calorie lunch...under 300 cal...followed by a brownie LOL oops. It was worth it though.

Day/Weight/Comment

03/24 205.5 Had barn day yesterday. Put in almost 13k steps but probably negated it with Mexican lunch and a huge margarita. Need to start daily bike riding or walking again.

03/25 DNW I was running late this morning (on purpose) and was dressed before I realized I hadn’t weighed in. Need to track, track, track to get myself back in the habit.

03/26 206.7 Stressed out to the max. Do really good with eating at work but lose absolute control at home. Never fails. First horse show of the year starts next Wednesday. Let’s hope my chaps fit. Ugh!

03/27 209.5 So, I got tired of having to sneak downstairs to weigh-in then going back upstairs to get ready for work. I decided to just get on the scale this morning in my work uniform. My weight looks MORE but 5 days per week it should be "normal" since I wear a uniform and it's basically the 'same' every weekday. Still struggling to track 100% of what I put in my mouth but I'm always a work-in-progress.

03/28 - I can already report for "tomorrow" that I went for a 1-mile walk after I got home Weds night and it felt GREAT to be outside.

03/27 209.5 Let's try this again. I had already posted for today but apparently my Dad's laptop has a mind of it's own and I lost it all. I weighed in this morning in my work uniform. It was just easier than zooming downstairs in my skivvies and then going back up to get ready for work. It'll even itself out as I get into a routine. I am still not logging 100% of what I put in my mouth but I am always a work-in-progress.

R72 SW: 96.4
Tough emotional times ahead. Joining only to make sure it's easier to get back in the saddle after this. Let's hope I don't wipe out Mini GW1.

03/24 - 96.7 yesterday was so stressful had to eat the entire house. Fingers crossed for better behavior today
03/25 - 95.6 The best way to be rewarded for good behaviour is to see it on the scale

I know it is just water for having no carbs and other water retention stuff, and it will probably not stick too long as is (or stick too long XD and plateau). Anyway great way to get motivated to get back on track.
03/26 - 95.6 Happy to see this number again! Was semi-behaving yesterday. Proud I manage to control myself this period at all.
03/27 - 96.0 Binging is back. Really not in the mood to behave.
