Day/Weight/Comment
04/13 - 276.6 - Woot! I got to sleep to closer to my actual waking point. Yesterday was my fast day until five (I have meds that require food). My sleep was interrupted at one point due to the fire alarm, no actual fire though. My cat still freaked out and hid under the bed. I'm almost to my next goal!
04/14 276.8 - A slight uptick caused by a rude awakening early. My cat insisted that I get up early. He pawed at my face and then my back and head when I turned over to go back to sleep. I think the snow was setting off his alarm bells. It was getting kinda chilly in the room. I had left the window open as it wasn't supposed to get that cold or windy as it was. I got a lot of walking in today. I finished with 27,020 steps. I did Zombies, Run! (London Calling) and a regular walk along with walking during commercial breaks. Tomorrow I start Week 3 of Zombies, Run! Couch to 5K
04/15 - 275.8 - Sooooo close to my next main target goal. It's 275, then the next one will be 250. I can't believe how far I've come. I started this journey this year at 339.8 on January 2nd. So I hope to reach that 275 this round and to surpass it, actually. I had to put on my winter coat to go to church yesterday due to unexpected shift in the weather yesterday morning. I haven't been able to button it up in years. I was able to button all the buttons with more than enough room to move around in the coat yesterday. It was nice. Today is Week 3, Day 1 of couch to 5K Zombies, Run! style, more walking, doctor's appointment and blood draw.
04/16 - 276 - Slight uptick, but weighed waaaay early due to waking up early again. I may have to try something different to try and get my sleep. I am fasting today to grieve the loss of the Notre Dame Cathedral, while she is not utterly destroyed it is going to take a generation and an untold fortune to rebuild her. It is also unfortunate that this happened during Holy Week. In one picture it looked like she was battling Hell itself. I am grateful to all 400 firefighters and further security personnel that worked to battle the blaze and keep the people safe as well. For the firefighter that was seriously injured I pray for his/her speedy recovery today. I will be doing some walking today. Yesterday I did do Week 3, Day 1 of my couch to 5K in the morning, it truly tested me.
04/17 - 271.8 - Well this was unexpected. It’s nice to see but unexpected. I did some walking and praying yesterday. I also did an episode of Zombies, Run! I’m not sure when I will do the next training session of couch to 5K training as I have an appointment this morning I don’t want to be late for. I can’t push it till tomorrow morning due to my aid coming. And Friday is a food pantry. I’ll figure it out.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/13: 194.2 (I got TOM 3 days early again! 🙁 at least I maintained my weight from yesterday! Last night I had some Chipotle and it was so yummy after a long week! I also did a 45 minute elliptical workout as soon as I got home after work. Have a nice weekend!
4/14: 195.0 (I guess I didn’t gain too much this TOM, so that’s amazing! I did a 15 minute elliptical workout and a 15 minute total body workout! I also went to dinner last night at a Cuban place and had lots of papa rellenas and chicken croquettes. It was so yummy and worth all the working out all week!)
4/15: 196.4 (There's that gain I was expecting from the weekend...hopefully I lose some of that TOM weight by Friday! Yesterday, I did a 45 minute elliptical workout and had one slice of pizza and a breadstick for dinner last night. I am looking forward to a fresh week and we'll see if it's a successful one. Happy Monday!)
4/16: 196.4 (TOM has ended, but my weight continues to stay up like it always does for a few days after. I did a core workout, 10 minute elliptical workout and 15 minute HIIT elliptical workout last night. I ate at a deficit with a grilled chicken salad and a small portion of ice cream. Gonna continue the grind and see what happens!)
4/17: 195.2 (Finally, some sort of progress in the right direction! I had to cut my workout short to prep dinner last night. I did a 10 minute elliptical workout followed by 15 minutes of HIIT on the elliptical. I made some chicken chow mein and it was soooo good and worth the long prep time. I'm hoping I have a loss by my official weigh in day on Friday!)

Day/Weight/Comment
4/13 - 178 - 38g carbs, 32g net carbs. Carbs were: cauliflower, broccoli slaw, poppyseed dressing, fried chicken, au jus sauce.
4/14 - 177.6 - 40g carbs, 21g net carbs. Carbs were: keto seed porridge, fried chicken, pumpkin seeds, blueberry vanilla goat cheese, horseradish in tuna.
4/15 - 177.2 - 120g carbs, guessing. Visited grands, didn't take food with me for everyone. I think they were somewhat disappointed, since it seemed to be a scramble for food. Sub shop, ugh. My youngest son brought his birthday cake to celebrate with family. Carbs were: chicken tenders, a slice of the most delicious raspberry filled amaretto cake w/amaretto buttercream frosting. Yeah it was decadent. Worth every carb and calorie, but not worth the miserable stuffed feeling afterwards.
4/16 - 177 - 24g carbs, 20g net carbs. Carbs were: breading on chicken tender, salad, pumpkin seeds, salad dressing.
4/17 - 175.2 - 38g carbs, 34g net carbs. (89g carbs, 85g net carbs) adjusted for cake😃
Carbs were: 1 baby potato, zucchini, breaded flounder, peanuts, cake. Quick added 400 calories & 50g carbs to food diary for cake. Cake must go! Passover is coming up!

Hi-I’m Karen
Sept. 2018 OSW 187 (Was my Round #1)
UGW 135.....yes, 135!
Goal this round-161
4/13-163 It is good to be here and wonderful to have all of you here. I always have my coffee with you in the mornings.😊☕️
4/14-166-Heavy salty food, it was really hot while we were at an outside event and I didn’t drink enough water. I’ll get back into the swing of things with my walking tomorrow.
4/15-162-I drank plenty of water and didn’t eat any of the heavy, salty food we had leftover from Saturday. I’m back to walking.
4/16-164-walked 7 miles yesterday and drank lots of coffee and iced tea instead of water. I planned on being good at dinner but my friend made some sliced baked sweet potatoes in the oven and I had seconds.....and now it’s raining. Tomorrow will be better.
4/17-164-The rain stopped and I got a walk in. The weather should be nice now, for a walk and bike ride.Glad to be in 160’s.
Good luck this week!!!🌸

Round three for me! We're in spring break at school and I have a lot on my calendar. We'll be celebrating my boyfriend's birthday, going to an MLB game, travelling to spend time with friends and their new baby, and gathering with family for Easter. This time, I'd like to average 100,000 steps for the ten days, so I'll need to add extra walking on days we're not driving. I'm not looking to actively lose weight this round, but I'd like to maintain my hard work from the last two rounds.

OSW 191 lb
R72 SW 191.0 lb EW 188.4 lb
R73 SW 188.4 lb EW 184.6 lb
R74 SW 184.6 lb EW TBD
GW: 160 lb (I'll probably re-evaluate when I get there, but I remember being pretty comfortable at that weight)
Day/Weight/Comment
04/13 184.6 lb Holding steady! No workout yesterday due to a meeting that went long and unanticipated traffic on the way home. I had to get home to walk the pup! I tracked 11,415 steps. Take-out Thai food was dinner and I ate lightly throughout the day to not blow-out my calorie goals. I expect some sort of gain in the next couple of days due to planned events with high-calorie foods options.
04/14 184.6 lb Still looking good. I only tracked 5,150 steps yesterday so I'll need to take the dog out for a long walk later. We went out for lunch and it ended up being my only meal of the day and that allowed me to meet my calorie goals. Again, I'm anticipating a gain in the next couple of check-ins. We're heading to a baseball game this afternoon and I'm making a key lime pie for my boyfriend's birthday.
04/15 185.6 lb I ate so much junk yesterday. Bagel and cream cheese for breakfast, sausage and peppers and beer for lunch at the game (Go Red Sox!), and pizza, key lime pie, and GOT whiskey for dinner. Good thing birthdays only happen once a year. 😂 I wish I checked my Fitbit before I took it off because it had tracked 9,982 steps. There's something about seeing the number go over 10,000 that I really enjoy. I've got three days of light eating planned and then we're off travelling for a few days.
04/16 187.0 lb Not surprised. I tracked 10,015 steps yesterday and went a little over my calorie goals. I'm definitely going to the gym this afternoon and walking the dog this morning because we're planning on going out for dinner. We put a water filter on our kitchen tap because the water was very metallic tasting, so I'm sure my water intake will be up. I'm looking for no gain tomorrow!
04/17 187.0 lb No gain! I had tons of water, tracked 13,598 steps, and burned about 300 calories at the gym. I've tracked a little over 50,000 steps for the last five days, so I'm on track to meet my step goal. I ate lightly throughout the day to help out my dinner calories, but I got a Long Island iced tea that I regret. It was all sour mix and not worth the calories. 😖 More dog walking and another gym visit planned for this afternoon and then pub trivia with the family!

@CamandJarvis Thank you for sharing. I had scoliosis surgery in 1982. My curve was still progressing in my 30’s which I guess isn’t common. I have 2 rods, 6 screws, a cable and wires but my back went from an S curve of 54 and 33 degrees to about 15. I lost the curve at the lower back that allows one to stand upright so I lean forward unless I stand with my knees bent. Over the decades this has caused other issues but we do have to go on the best we can and it’s better than the other options. The doctor thought I would be in a wheelchair by 40 without the surgery and I’m glad I’ve had these years of walking almost upright.9

OK, a new round! Maybe it's the sunshine and warmer weather, but I feel the winter blues slipping away and feel optimistic about getting back to my previous low in a couple of months. Step by step! Have a great Saturday!

Way to much salt and way too little water yesterday. Today's a new day.
04/16 - 153
Vegan Chinese yesterday, so more sodium overload, and I had to teach last night, came home hungry, and ate a bunch of wheat thins. Oh well. Off for a walk along the river and a more salad-y day today.

I went for a lovely 5-mile walk along our Rivergreenway yesterday. Wildflowers everywhere! Spring beauties, swamp buttercups, dog-tooth violents all in bloom and Mayapples, violets, bedstraw, trillium all about ready. And birds, birds, birds, from LBJs ("little brown jobs" -- birder talk) to Turkey Vultures, Red-tailed Hawks, and Great Blue Herons. Fabulous!

I was really happy with last round and I’m continuing a few goals
Water! I get sloppy when it comes to water
Lower sodium
Keep up with walking, maybe I can hit another 5k steps
04/13 345.2 I was out of control with my sodium yesterday and a little over calories too. Add in that after I posted yesterday I pulled a few muscles in my leg and the water weight was inevitable. I’m resting today and I’m sure I’ll see it all drop off again in a few days.
04/14 344.2 First of what I’m sure will be several drops. I have a lowish sodium week planned. If I stay on course I should be to close to 340 by end of round.
04/15 343.4 And now a little below my round start weight. Hopefully I’ll see a little more loss over the next few days.
04/16 343
04/17 342.4 I’m a little surprised because of spasticity in my leg causing me some trouble. I was far less mobile yesterday because of it and I thought for sure I’d see some water retention. My odd nsv yesterday was my husband noticing that it’s already easier for him to help me up.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/12 …..191.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
04/13 …..191.8 ….. Busy helping nieces with funeral arrangements for my sister. Doing this all long distance although I am getting some help from my local funeral home. Memorial services at a later date. Things will be hectic for the next few days. I don’t expect a lot of progress in my exercise or diet. Just trying to hang in there. But I wish everyone lots of luck this round!
04/14 ….. 192.0….. I am going to try to stick to plan today regardless of stress & busy schedule. It is, as always, a heavy work day for me on Sunday. I’m going to take it & run with it!
04/15 …..191.8 ….. I Tried hard yesterday in spite of it all. I had several days of grab & go immediately following my sister’s death. I also ate my emotions. Lots of mistakes like being too busy to eat dinner then bingeing later at night. I was back on track yesterday as my appetite was suddenly gone so it wasn’t difficult. Yesterday’s stats: 1036 Calories In / 2375 Calories Out. 9 Net Carbs. 11,202 Total Steps & 4.04 Total Miles. IF: 20:4 due to lack of hunger most of the day & evening. Charged fitbit so I am not sure about sleep time. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I took a 28 minute moderately paced walk. More arrangements today in Tennessee from Michigan. We are finalizing much of it today, I hope. I am electronically submitting pics etc for obituary etc. I have multiple cabins to clean here at home/work. Busy day today for me but staying busy helps during such grief. I hope to stay on plan though as best I can again with my eating & exercise. I just need a minute and I will work hard on making it as healthy a minute as possible. Thanks again to everyone for the hugs & luv.
04/16 ….. 191.8….. I am still all over the place here. I ate grilled cheese & tomato soup & crackers for the first time in over a year. A big no-no in my plan. Yesterdays stats: 2070 Calories In / 2705 Calories out. 158 Net Carbs. 16,046 Total Steps & 6.84 Total Miles. IF 18:6 . 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 50 minutes waking up still exhausted this morning but unable to sleep anymore. The plus is that I managed a 75 minute moderately paced walk so that I would not totally abandon all my goals. However, I ate the grilled cheese meal after the walk, so that was disappointing. I still need a minute here. I am still really struggling with the death. If I can just hold on without a gain I will be happy. However, tomorrow is travel (including restaurant) and Thursday is a business launch party complete with food, so that coupled with my emotions is making me nervous. I am going to work hard today and take each day as they come. My emotions will settle in at some point and I will get strong. I just have to try to mitigate the damage right now, every day, as I hobble & limp along because it does feel like I’m on a hilly, curvy, muddy treacherous road dragging my heart behind with a chain. I ‘ve been on this road before. Time does NOT heal all wounds, but it does get better. Walking toward the light here folks.
04/17 …..191.8 ….. I had a very good day yesterday for eating on plan & for some planned exercise (walking). Very low on water, however and I am sure I’m dehydrated somewhat. Finalization of plans for my sister were made including my final payment by phone. I am proud that I did not eat those emotions. Travel today & social event tomorrow will test me. I am weak & vulnerable right now, but I am also committed so we’ll see how this goes. Yesterday’s stats: 1028 Calories In/2238 Calories Out. 28 Net carbs due mainly to the veggies in my lunch. 12,104 Total Steps & 5.12 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept an amazing 7 hours & 4 minutes but still woke up tired. I laid in bed another hour but couldn’t sleep, so I am getting a late start on my trip. Feeling a bit better now after my black coffee. I walked 1 hour & 51 minutes at a semi brisk pace. I just have not felt like dancing. It feels to festive at such a sorrowful time. I will get back there asap. Sadly but thankfully, life on earth goes on & I will too. I continue to appreciate the notes & hugs. Thanks folks!

Meal Plan! Meal Plan! Meal Plan!
Last week worked AWESOME! Make the time Sunday to MEAL PLAN and SHOP! Enter it all into MFP so it’s permanent and I will get this DONE! Vacation here I come! New ME here I come!
4/13…194.8... -.2
Scale went down another .2 Decided NOT to go to the fish fry and came home and worked out instead. Yay Me! Made ST Fish Sticks and roasted veggies for dinner and while cooking 2 oz of blueberry vodka then glass o wine while I stuck my feet in the amazing massager DH bought me for my bday last year. I am so blessed and feeling it. Have lunch out with friends today so already entered what I am going to have (carnitas tostada and only one at 288 cals - NO BEER) and sticking to it. Happy Saturday EVERYONE. Stay ON PLAN!
4/14… 195...+.2
Not too bad considering our hosts last night added mashed potatoes and wine to the menu. I had a feeling so put in an extra workout and logged in the wine before I left. The taters were a complete surprise, but I barely had a 1/4 cup so YAY Me!
4/15… 195.8... +.8
Boo.. overindulged. Kept the food in check but had some beer and wine. Hoping most of the lb is the saltiness of dinner. Will see after today. Meal planned well and shopped yesterday so ready for the week.
4/16…197.2... +1.4
Double boo and bummed. Didn't get too crazy over cals, but sodium was ridiculous and had to taste everything hubby is prepping for a big luncheon he is putting on. Bad choices. Time to hunker down.
4/17…195.8... -1.4
That's better. DH brought home lots of leftovers from the lunch so the boys in the house ate big and weren't hungry for any sort of dinner. Had the place to myself and stuck to plan for lunch so wasn't too hungry myself. I refuse to register a gain in 10 flipping days! Bound and determined. Have 5 more days to ditch that other lb. I can do this. Even with Easter because with MFP, ST and CMT I have all the tools I need. +Will Power? Can't be beat!

Dear @deepwoodslady,
I took a ziplock with me yesterday (because I knew it would be a crazy day) with weighed:
Washed apple
1.5 oz of unsalted nuts
2 oz of Kashi flax cereal
1/2 oz dark chocolate
And 2 bottles of water
Sure enough, something went over by 2 hours, and I was “famished” when I got back to the car. Ate the apple -slowly. Drank 1-2 cups water. Ate 5 nuts mindfully. Drive to the nearest Starbucks & got a nonfat decaf latte (130 cal) & instead of eating my choc & the cereal (269), I got a warmed choc chip cookie (360). I ate a few more nuts. Went and did next few things.
Made it home. Ate healthy vegetable heavy dinner.
I think having a refrigerated pack of ready to eat things will be my savior in maintenance as the American on-the-go food scene is pretty hostile for us. IE the choc chip cookie. I would have been happy with my cereal and my choc, but suddenly seeing that on the shelf (I was looking for a container of yogurt), and old habits popped up. So my next step is to pull out my refrigerated bag, so I can pack a protein too!
Thinking of you. I can assure you, I promise, your grief WILL get better. Really.
♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️
@MadisonMolly2017 Thanks so much (again) for all the travel tips. Knowing what has worked for you is so very helpful because you have come a long way successfully. I have been traveling with unsalted nuts, but adding some other things including sweet (like the chocolate) and the ever-filling fiber (like Kashi flax cereal) is a great idea! Curbing cravings is essential! Because I am diabetic and am usually gone 10 to 12 hours I do eat at restaurants too. However, my goal is to limit it to just one meal and supplement with these snacks. The trick is to be mindful of my restaurant meal when I have so little available in my own town & I get excited. This is where the snacks may also come in handy. Less hunger = smaller meal. That is my experiment today. Also I am vowing right now to all my mfp family that one meal, at least for today, will not turn into an all night binge. A late dinner, at home, from my prep cooked meals is all I will need, if anything. I am also vowing (one day at a time) that I will not stop at a bakery or donut shop (none available in my own town) to get the goodies that are not normally available to me. They are not going anywhere and will be there some other time. Not today. I've got to get back on track and back to my pre-Thanksgiving weight. It's spring, for goodness sakes! Thanks again for sharing. It really, really helps.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/13--208.9 Hardly drank any water yesterday. Went to the 2nd dance lesson yesterday and we did the swing dance. Hubby was definitely more relaxed this week and actually said that he enjoyed himself...he liked the swing more than rumba from last week. I am starting to drop the hint that maybe we could take some swing lessons after this 4 week session is over...we'll see how that goes. Going for a run this morning and then running some errands the rest of the day.
04/14--209.2 I was so thirsty when I woke up this morning...I knew I didn't drink enough water yesterday. Ran for 3.5 miles yesterday and went to the gym this morning. I slept for 9 hours last night and could have slept for more if it wasn't for the dog plodding around this morning. Going to rewatch the last episode of GoT, hubby and I rewatched every episode over the past 3 months, and then get ready to watch the new episode tonight.
04/15--209.2 Really worked on getting my water in yesterday so that was a success. Run today and streching/foam rolling.
04/16--209.8 Ran 2.5 miles yesterday but did not do much stretching/foam rolling. Went to the chiropractor yesterday and he was also talking to me about stretching. There is one stretch that he wants me to do at least once for every hour I am at work...I've already missed the first 3 hours of my work day. Today is trainer.
04/17--209.2 Sore this morning from working with trainer last night. Did some snacking last night after dinner and looking back I realized that my dinner wasn't filling enough and especially on the evenings I work out with my trainer I feel even hungrier. Supposed to go out for a run before yoga tonight, but not sure if that will happen. I'm going to work on getting to bed a little earlier...even though I get about 7-7 1/2 hours of sleep I know I could definitely use some more sleep.

04/17/19- 169 I drank a cup of water before I remembered to weigh this morning, so that number may be more like 168.8. Must be retaining water from the leg workout yesterday.
04/16/19- 167. I haven’t slept well the past 2 nights. I’m getting ready to cut my caffeine in half.
04/15/19- 166.8 I think this is my lowest weight yet. I ate a salad for lunch yesterday, and watched my sodium intake. When I hit 165.5, that will be 40 total pounds lost. Would love for that to happen on this round!
04/14/19- 168.4 It’s okay. Went to Outback for lunch, and ate my entire baked potato. It was well worth the uptick. I was back on track today.
04/13/19- 167.6 Wow! Good start for the round!12 -
@thatjodiegirl Haha thats crazy! We can do this!! 😊😊😊

Previous Daily Summaries11/04
Another Power Day under my belt yesterday for StepBet. New watch has now been dispatched - excited! Did meal prep for the rest of the week, I feel like I am getting into a nice routine, I've pretty much maintained this round, but considering I'm not logging, I'm pretty happy with that.
15/04
Had a far less active weekend than expected due to rain/wind cancelling our club's regatta, met my Stepbet goals (on Saturday I was reduced to jogging on the spot in a toilet cubicle in the pub at 23:45 to make sure I got them in that's dedication for you) and food was more or less to plan so happy with that.
16/04
Good day for steps yesterday, despite the rubbish weather so started the week with a power day! Went out for some short rowing practice this morning, was training someone on steering oar, so it probably wasn't a huge calorie burn. Need to make an effort to drink more water during working hours, got home last night dying of thirst as I'd only had half a glass of water.
17/04
Another good day for steps, another power day bites the dust. Weekly weigh in, trendweight down 0.2lbs I have about 11 days of my logging break left. It's been good to have a proper break for the first time in 2 years. When I get back to it on the 29th I'll be going back to a calorie-cycling plan with a 1000 calorie deficit on rest days and 500 calorie deficit on active days (days's when I do strength training/rowing/running/hiking). I expect my rowing training to increase in the run up to a long distance race I'm doing in June and will be including strength training again.10 -

Hoping this round is as good as the last one! Going to be tough as away at daughters for a coupe of days followed by Easter weekend at the girls cheerleading competition so 4 nights staying away with eating out, socialising, hotel food and time on the road. I wont be here for the end of the round so going to stay focused until then.....
With my loss in R73 it must slow down soon - Target for my (short) round is to get to 143.xx
R74 start weight - 144.8lb
04/13 - 144.3lb (-0.5lb) Happy with that start to the round Aiming to stay focused over the weekend and drink plenty of water
04/14 - 144.4lb (+0.1lb) OK with this - late dinner last night which was a carb heavier dinner than normal (home made chicken curry with rice and naan) but all within calories and macros for the day though. Big family Easter dinner this evening as we're away next weekend - don't intend to go mad but will treat myself to a glass of wine and a few chocolates and enjoy them
04/15 - 145.2lb (+0.8lb) OK with this after last nights family dinner and not unusual for weight to be up on a Monday All set for a good day and week ahead - fridge stocked, meals planned - off we go!!!
04/16 - 144.4lb (-0.8lb) So back where I was Sunday morning so happy with that. All set for today, gym session tonight..... Looking forward to seeing the weight continue to come off.....
04/17 - 144.5lb (+0.1lb) Bit disappointed - should've stayed in round 73! No reason for it as within caloreisa nd macros - can only think its my body deciding that it lost enough last round so going to stabilise for a bit (if that is even a reason????) I shall continue though and make the most of these last couple of days at home before we head away for the weekend (which won't be so easy ......)

4/13 - 201.0 - Starting off the weekend good! Although, I wasn't the best last night and let stress get to me so may have had some rum, coke, and chocolate, so I wouldn't be surprised if that shows up in tomorrow's weigh in.
4/14 - 202.0 - Not going to complain! Now to be good and not succumb to the kids' snacks!
4/15 - 201.7 - Kept it semi in-control over the weekend! *dance*
4/16 - 200.8 - Nice trend so far Trying to stay on track as much as I can this week.. Saturday we will be going to the Renaissance Faire and I never end up eating as nice as I should; I just love scotch eggs and that's the only place I can find them!
4/17 - 199.0 - Trying to not get too excited, ate a couple things yesterday that I shouldn't have (darn coworkers bringing in cupcakes!) but think I stayed close to my calories, so we'll see if there's a bump tomorrow or Friday

Round 74 EW : AW : Results :14 -
***VACATION ROUND***Round 74 (my 4th)***
10 DAY GOALS: Planning to (1) log everything carefully over the next 10 days with maintenance range 1700 or fewer calories (2) 12-hour fast most days (3) Try to boost TDEE with small daily movements to achieve 2000 steps daily (I'm disabled and I often get less than 1000 per day)
Age: 38
Height: 5'7"
Round 71 SW 157.8 EW 155.4 (-2.4 lbs)
Round 72 SW 155.4 EW 153 (-2.4 lbs)
Round 73 SW 155.4 EW 153.6 (+0.6 lbs)
Total challenge lost after 3 rounds: 4.2 lbs
UGW: 123
GW for this round: *Maintenance of current wight* 153-155
To aid in my maintenance goal this week while enjoying my vacation (admittedly, a food-centered one in a special place I haven't been to for over a decade where I'll be headed to some of my all-time favorite restaurants, AND there will be a birthday party), I am experimenting with calorie 'banking'- purposely eating fewer calories for a few days in order to have more in the 'bank' for other days. Over the course of the week, it should even out to 1700 max a day, my maintenance calories.
Day/Weight/Comment
04/13 153.6 Same weight for days, and that's fine, since my goal this round is simple: maintain, don't gain! Walked a lot yesterday (for me), 4616 steps, and met my calories perfectly.
04/14 152 Maddeningly, the scale kept fluctuating between 151.7 and 152, but I'm thrilled it's lower! I've been IFing for a while (16:8) and yesterday, I was starving in the morning, which is atypical. After having the usual coffee and water, the hunger wasn't subsiding one bit, so I opened my eating window early and didn't feel guilty at all, nor did I go overboard- trying out this intuitive eating thing in baby steps over the course of this long journey.
04/15 152.8 **Banking calories for vacation** Did fine yesterday for a Sunday. A fast food meal but ordered from kids menu and did well otherwise.
04/16 151.4 **Banking calories for vacation. Managed to eat a few hundred calories under yesterday as part of my calorie cycling plan to create some wiggle room for my upcoming vacation, so I hope this lower number sticks- it'll give me a better shot of not going over 153 this week.
I am trying not to be nervous about my upcoming vacation/diet break and ran across an idea in an old thread that resonated: think of it as one week to practice maintenance. Shouldn't we all practice our maintenance lifestyle occasionally? My challenges won't be 'over' at goal weight 30 lbs from now; they'll be different. I'm recasting the vacation week as "practicing maintenance" and I feel good about that as a skill to develop along this journey. Vacations like this used to be a food free-for-all, but I'm going to practice eating with a goal in mind: *maintenance*.
04/17 151.4 **Banking calories for vacation** Banked calories again successfully yesterday and maintaining lower number for now. Feeling good about my vacation strategy!
04/18 **VACATION BEGINS**Practicing Maintenance**
04/19 NO SCALE, ON VACATION **Practicing Maintenance**
04/20 NO SCALE, ON VACATION **Practicing Maintenance**
04/21 NO SCALE, ON VACATION **Practicing Maintenance**
04/22 NO SCALE, ON VACATION **Practicing Maintenance**10 -
