1/21 206.2 -- Whew! My losses have been so slow compared to previous weight loss attempts I was wondering if my maintenance calories had fallen to a really low level. Nice to see this method (track, exercise, journal) will produce results
1/22 205.8 -- happy to see another loss! Need to be careful with calories today, though, as I’ve skipped my morning exercise due to a massive blister. ☹️
1/23 205.2 — whoohoo! It’s like my body finally said “oh, she’s serious about this, guess it’s time to finally get going”. 😁. I won’t expect a loss everyday, but nice to have momentum for these past 3!

Hi, I’m Karen and I’m 53.
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
Gym weight lifting class 2 x week
Walk +/- 7 miles 3 x week. Goal Weight this Round: 160
Drink plenty of water, alcohol on weekends

1/18-165-I am at the tail end of a cold and can start back to exercising again.
1/19-164-We ate at El Pollo Locol and had the bowl with no rice, not bad.
1/20-165-I was under calories, but sat around too much. Today I’ll try to eat the same way but get some exercise.
Have a good week!
1/21-163- I ate under calories and went for a big walk. I’ll try to do the same today with a meeting and some work.
1/22-161-My 7 mile walk and under calories seems to work.

1/23-163-I was hungry for a hamburger and ate it early in the day, still walked 7 miles, but got the swoosh up....still worth it.

It is wonderful to have all of you here! I have my coffee while I read your posts each morning. 😊

Day/Weight/Comment:

01/18: 130.0 - smack dab on my original goal weight this morning. I’ve decided to eat at or below maintenance for a couple weeks, continue to work on strength training and then possibly losing another 5 lbs. Had a fantastic first day back to the gym yesterday, an hour total including 20 minutes elliptical.

01/19: 130.0 - this maintenance thing is interesting. I feel like I've been eating so much more and yet, the scale stays the same, it's hard to wrap my head around. Thinking of still eating below maintenance every few days until I trust this weight.

01/20: 130.0 - still here. Ate below calories yesterday but did not work out at all, just did my elbow physical therapy. Heading to the gym this morning, can not wait.

01/21: 130.8 - ate well all weekend, looking forward to being able to exercise more often. I did do my elbow P/T at least once every day. I know it takes time but, ugh, I’m impatient.

01/22: 129.8 - I swam laps yesterday for about half an hour (with breaks) and wow, what a great workout. Bonus, my elbow was able to take it. Went to the gym this morning and had a fantastic legs/abs workout with 30 minutes elliptical. I would do that every day if I could but that's how I get injured. Another bonus, the first set of deadlifts were noticeably easier than they had been. Still haven't missed a day of P/T yet, not that I see any difference but I'll keep with it.

01/23: 129.4 - off to swim some laps. Did my elbow p/t last night, there might be some itsy bitsy signs of improvement...

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

Do you take measurements? I’m terrible at that myself but if you are losing FAT and gaining MUSCLE your weight may not change but your body composition will. A pound is a pound but muscle takes up less space! - Jpv, 11/22/19

NEVER GIVE UP! You can surprise yourself! I have.

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.

*****
01/18 121.0 Got up late.
01/19. 122.0 Was in an all day sewing class yesterday. We had a buffet of deli meat and cheese. I keto-ed the best I could with the selection available and suspect this might be water. Didn’t drink enough water. My back was killing me when I got home but feels better now. No worries about the blip.
01/20 120.5 Meeting DD#2 and her husband for her late birthday lunch. Great Greek - YUM!
01/21 121.5 I haven’t been tracking food for a week, haven’t been to the gym since 1/13 and may have slacked off in water. I need to get my act together and not be complacent. I have failed too many times in the past! I have 1/2 of my Greek Salad left from yesterday.
01/22 122.5 Ate way too many carbs yesterday. I ate a snack at 9pm and went to bed - pork rind nachos so it was keto but I could not keep my eyes open and was falling asleep in my chair so went to bed at 9:40 and slept until 6AM! Meeting Amy at the gym today.
01/23 121.0 19 hour fast yesterday then had 1c cauliflower with butter and cheese and a 5 oz burger - no bun. It was quite satisfying.

Round 102, 19th Round for Me
Starting Weight: 283.2 lbs
Goal Weight: 281.2 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment

01/18: 282.9 lbs (-0.3) ... Down a bit more today. Hopefully I’m done with my eating struggles and can stay on the right path going forward.

01/19: 281.3 lbs (-1.6) … Nice little whoosh there. Let’s see if I can hold onto it! This is my first new low weight since late November.

01/20: 281.3 lbs (no change)

01/21: 282.6 lbs (+1.3) … Up a little. Still on track with my eating plan so it’s just a fluctuation rather than anything to worry about.

01/22: 281.6 lbs (-1.0) … And away most of that fluctuation goes. Much better than I expected, since dinner was a bit carb-heavy (rice) and later than usual.

01/23: 281.3 lbs (-0.3) … I keep seeing this number this round!

Hi. My name is Trina.

I have decided that I have finished my big old holiday back slide. I'm feeling just about ready to get back on track. First thing is to get back to logging everything. Second is to start eating right again! Glad to have you all at my back on this journey!

Goals--
Get back to logging food daily!
Carbs < 100-

Post mastectomy arm stretches for 10 minutes 3/7 days each week.
Walk/exercise for a minimum of 60 minutes 2/7 days each week and a minimum of 30 minutes for an additional 3/7 days each week (and invite friends to walk at least twice a week!)
Drink 12 glasses of water at least 5/7 days each week.


CW 140.5
RGW <137 (Hoping to drop Christmas & steroid bloat, so not as aggressive as it may look!)

Day/Weight/Comment:
RSW 140.5

1/18: 141.5 Hoping this is just going to set me up for a good loss this round. Starting the eat right plan again!
1/19: 140.5 Easing back to better eating. It rained all day yesterday, so I couldn't walk. Did about an hour on the elliptical instead....I prefer walking!
1/20: 139.5 Fast walk through the neighborhood hills yesterday and today. Haven't eaten quite as well today, since my husband and son were both on vacation.
1/21: 140.5 Good walk yesterday....but a bit high on calories and food. Hoping to be lower tomorrow, but since I'm taking steroids today, I won't hold my breath. Tomorrow is last round of chemo!!! Yay!
1/22: 138.5
1/23: 138 Read posts yesterday, but didn't get a chance to check in. I finished the last round of chemo yesterday, so in about 12 days chemo and it's symptoms should be behind me! It hasn't been awful, but it hasn't been a cake walk either (although it has involved a bit too much cake!) I met with the radiologist yesterday, and got the go-ahead to start radiation in 12 days, which means I can be done before my son's spring break. I guess I should be thankful that he is a practical kid who really wants to tour colleges and not go to the beach, since the beach immediately following radiation isn't probably the best idea. But, I think on our own, my husband and I would still vote beach!

01/19 189.8 43.2% BF
01/20 190.0 43% BF Well wrong direction but it's that TOTM so hopefully will be seeing a whoosh here in the next couple of days. This is week 2 back at the gym after a long december off and I need to remember that it usually takes my body 3 weeks to acclimate to that.
01/21 189.8 42.7% BF 1654 calories total yesterday. At least the scale was under 190. Drinking a lot of water and tea today, staying below 1500 cals with plenty of vegetables.
01/22 189.6 42.4 % BF 1678 calories total. went a bit above my plan bc I decided to have some wine and chocolate after dinner. Woke up this morning with a fever and chills so I skipped the gym and taking it easy all day. Hopefully tomorrow will turn the corner with that! I wanted chicken noodle, but didn't have the correct supplies so made vegetable beef soup instead.

01/23 189.4 43% BF scale still stuck and I'm still sick! Body feels better but sneezing and coughing, lame. Final calorie count yesterday 1496. Drinking extra tea and water today. Aiming for < 1500 today as well.

01/18 - 159.6 - I am really back on track after the holidays, and hoping to get back to or below my November weight. I hit 156.1 in September, so it kind of stings that a few holiday parties undid all of that hard work.

566 left over for calories
01/22 - 160.0 - MFP keeps telling me for the past 5 months that I will be 145 in 5 weeks - That would be so great. 597 left over for calories

Day/Weight/Comment
01/17 …..189.9….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/18 …..189.9 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1423 Calories In / 2984 Calories Out. 42 Net Carbs. 21,302 Total Steps & 9.01 Total Miles. 10/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 1 minutes but it was very broken sleep. I walked for 2 hours & 7 minutes at the school burning 969 calories walking very briskly and I walked on my property for a short 12 minute walk at about 3.0 mph burning another 72 calories. Total extra burn 1041. Good luck everyone! Let’s make this one really count!

01/19 …..189.7 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1716 Calories In / 2125 Calories Out. 84 Net Carbs. 8,197 Total Steps & 3.47 Total Miles related to working. 12/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 4 hours & 3 minutes but I needed so much more. I walked steady for 15 minutes at 2.5 mph burning 65 calories which didn’t help my situation

01/20 …..189.7 ….. First a report on my son who is an adult autistic beautiful boy. First official weekly weigh-in this morning showed a 5.8 pound loss for him Yesterday’s stats: 1838 Calories In / 2436 Calories Out. 76 Carbs. 12,232 Total Steps & 5.18 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 6 minutes and woke up very tired. The school is not open to walk on Sat/Sun and the weather hit 11 degrees below zero by dark. Too cold & icy to walk outside yesterday. I cleaned cabins for a couple of hours. Fitbit saw it as 27 minutes of activity so that’s what I record. I am learning so much from you all. Thanks to everyone for your comments & your sharing. A special thanks to Tish.

01/21 …..189.6 ….. A little up on calories but my carbs were within acceptable levels with my current plan of readjustment. A nice good long exercise walk yesterday at the school to help get the scale to move. Yesterday’s stats: 1808 Calories In / 2861 Calories Out. 48 Net Carbs. 21,306 Total Steps & 9.02 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 31 minutes falling asleep earlier last night. I woke up much better rested. I walked at the school at about 3.5 mph average for 116 minutes burning 711 Extra calories. I also cleaned 2 cabins with light to moderate effort along with other duties. I felt pretty good yesterday. My meals and days have been on point, but my night time snacking is putting me a bit higher than desired. I think I am still in fear of the sugar drops as this is when it always occurs – at night. I am making moderate choices and feeling good. I will continue to work toward my ultimate macro goal.


01/22 …..189.6 ….. A small glucose episode last night put me slightly over carb but I was still under calorie goal. I DO NOT WANT THE DOCTOR TO PUT ME BACK ON THE PILLS SHE TOOK ME OFF OF. I still take 2500 mg of Metformin for T2 Diabetes, but dropped 4 other pills after starting Keto originally. I can’t believe I let an extended holiday period of time take me this far back into bad health!!! I continue to slowly work on this. I know it can be done, I managed it when I first started my weight loss journey. I also realized last night that I have been doing a lot of walking during the week which is exactly what you do to help LOWER your blood sugars. So this may also be affecting the severe night lows (after the evening walks). As suggested by @musicsax I will probably try to reserve more carbs for nighttime, after the exercise day is over. I have been using up most of them before the walk because of having some weakness and dizzy spells during the walks if I haven’t eaten enough of them. Balancing it out is proving tough, but the formula is in there somewhere and I will find it. At some point, my body will re-adjust to it all and it won’t be as difficult – The incidences will greatly decrease. Every pound I can drop will also help as the overall glucose is (then) improved. It’s like a science equation really. Yesterday’s stats: 1545 Calories In / 2953 Calories Out. 62 Net Carbs. 20,652 Total Steps & 8.74 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 47 minutes and it felt good. I walked for 14 minutes at home at about 3.0 mph burning 72 cals. I walked at the school for 113 minutes at 4.0 mph burning 775 cals, and I danced for 18 minutes burning 144 cals. [/color=crimson]Sample song: “Pontoon” by Little Big Town.[/color=crimson] Total extra calorie burn 991. I have many projects that are behind at home. I haven’t decided yet whether to drop the school walk for the day, rest the body a little bit and get some work at home done. We’ll see how I feel later. The walking is very habitual and addictive. It’s hard to say “no” to.

01/23 …..189.9 ….. I deserve this. I cracked a bit under the pressure of making my son’s dinner (which is in his plan, but not mine). Usually I do very well at home. This was a disappointment to myself. The only plus was that I did switch it up a bit to be more carb friendly for my share, but it was still over the top. Yesterday was also a rest day from the long walks. I worked on projects at home. I got A LOT done. Still more to do, but I’ve got to try to fit in a walk of some sort today at the school. I would love to finish up what I’m in the middle of at home, but need and miss the walk. Also, bad behavior should not be rewarded with a day off. Yesterday’s stats: 1889 Calories In / 2467 Calories Out. 84 Net Carbs. 13,269 Total Steps & 5.61 Total miles in my attempt to get 1000 steps per hour while working at home. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours, I slept 5 hours & 7 minutes and needed much much more. Fitbit recognized 2 sets of walking which totaled 40 minutes. The extra calorie burn was about 243 when combined.

69 years old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion... ...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.

We used to walk 5 miles a day. A pinched nerve and back surgery side-lined me for about a year. Then I had back surgery. Now I'm waiting to get my hip fixed. Hip Doc said surgery in April. Ugh! I can't do any walking or biking...both kill me. I see my personal trainer three times a week. She is taking it very slow and easy with me.

I have March 10th as my hip surgery date...much better than April!

Round 102 - Jan.18 to Jan.27
Female, 5’, 66 years. SW – 165.2, GW – 163 something, UGW – 140. (This really should be 125 or 130 but that seems like such a long ways to go and 140 would be a huge improvement.) The 12 hr. IF along with everything else (portion control, watching calories in foods, exercise) seems to be working well for me. So this round I hope to be more consistent with logging food and exercise and see how far I can get.
Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 – 165.2 – Up a little from yesterday. Did almost a regular workout at the gym yesterday, so maybe some water retention. Close on calories and did IF.
01/19
01/20 - 165
01/21 – 165 – Busy last 2 days so didn’t get on here but did weigh. Good workout at the gym yesterday but didn’t manage IF. Always have to run off to practice on Mondays which typically goes till 10 or so, then when I get home, I just want to unwind and eat something. Last night it was 1/3 – ½ cup of homemade granola (nutritious but not low cal.) I need a plan to deal with this … it’s the same story every week so now it’s a habit.
01/22 – 164 – Nice to see this. A little exercise shoveling and kept to IF
01/23 – 164.8 Stuck to IF yesterday but did not log. Think eating was pretty reasonable although tried out a new muffin recipe – good, but in retrospect should have cut the oil some. Now what to do with them? I’m sure they are ridiculously high calorie because of the oil but lots of other good ingredients so hate to just throw them out. Maybe I’ll freeze them and use as a “dessert” option. This is the problem of having no kids at home …

Hi, new to Keto and IF. I will be starting in the next round. This round my goal is to make the adjustment to keto, every day I try to get closer to all of my macro goals. I just finished reading Simply Keto and I feel I have the basics and hopefully MFP community will help fill in the rest. Good Luck and Have a GREAT week everyone!

Had a conference/lunch this morning. Was so pleased to see healthy options at the buffet. We parked a distance away, and went for a walk along the promenade afterwards to blow away the cobwebs. Needs must! 😂

Back for another round. Thanks @GrandmaJackie

Never give up! Never give in!

2018:
My goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.
2019
I exceeded that and have been below 150 for most of the last 2 months.
In 2018, I put on 10 lbs over the last 2 months of the year.
In 2019, I consistently lost weight since the end of July. I put on about 4lbs over the Christmas break, but was still below my original 2019 goal.
That's a WIN in my book!

2020
I need this more than ever now that I am in maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving 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!

I'm still behaving like I've lost the key to my brain with carbs. Miraculously calories remain under control; likely because I'm not snacking.
While my goal is fasting a few days weekly I'm not there yet. I've been mixing different fasting methods. Eating less frequently has reduced episodes of compulsive eating.
This round I'm getting the carbs back under control. I'm also working on my fasting hours in hope of finding a workable routine.

01/18 72.6kg - 8km, no yoga, 16.5hrs fast
Forgot to post. Had friends over for dinner&game night and ended up eating very late.
01/19 73.1kg - 4km run, YWA day 14, 11.5hrs fast
Gain explained by late night shenanigans: But it was a good end to the week: Ran 20km, walked/ran 75k steps and did 5 days of YWA
01/20 73.1kg - rest day, 16hrs fast, YWA day 15
Also good end to the week: average weight is down, only 0.1kg, but down is down
01/21 73.2kg - 45mins run, no yoga, 16hrs fast
Ugh,not what I was expecting. But went for a great run this morning, so my body may not weigh what I would like it to, but it did me proud.
01/22 73.3kg - YWA day 16, 12.5hr fast 🙄
Ok, time to face the facts. I've been stress eating during the day and 'rewarding' myself in the eve. But I'll face the facts from tomorrow. Today was a bad day, tomorrow will be a new one.

01/23 73.3kg - speed run (6km total), 15hrs fast, no yoga
The weight is just reflecting my behaviour. Couldn't fast longer due to work schedule (and didn't plan for that last night). I will be better with that and check my schedule for the next day before I decide what time I stop eating in the evening.
Hooray: Had a great run this morning, got my anger, anxiety and stress out of the system - for today at least

@kmfeig87 Congrats on finishing chemo! And I am impressed that your son would rather visit colleges than go to the beach. I enjoyed college visits. We made it a habit to visit colleges with the kids when we were on vacation, when they were little. It got harder to do when they needed to be visiting because they were too busy lol!

Happy to have a go at this again! Last round I set a goal of 57.9 which I achieved today, one day late. These ten days goal is 57.5 kg realistically, 57 kg if I am being ambitious!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 - 57.9 kg
01/19 - 58.2 kg
01/20 - 58.4 kg (I was out of control with my eating this past weekend. I am determined to be good henceforth).
01/21 - 58.2 kg
01/22 - 57.7 kg (yay! Good healthy diet plus a killer exercise does help)
01/23 - 57.9 kg (surprised with the rise so must be temporary)
01/24 - 57.9 kg ( ate a lot of wholesome food and worked out. I am sick since yesterday and couldn’t workout if I limit my calories. But was still at maintenance eating range).

Round102: BW 210.1 – EW ???.??
Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 - 210.1
01/19 – 207 (-3.1)
01/20 – 209.1 (+2.1), Sunday info: 2908 steps, 2 of 12, 6hr20m (76); I have gotten extremely lazy since I was last here. Need to get myself in gear and try again.

01/21 – 207.5 (-1.6), Monday info: 4646 steps, 8 of 12, 6hr56m (83); Since I had Monday off work, I tried to do house-walking every time my Fitbit beeped. (It’s wayyyyy too cold to go outside in Ohio unless you’re crazy.) I rode my recumbent bike. I logged everything that I put into my mouth. I’m of those who gets SAD (seasonal affect disorder) in the winter and it’s been pretty bad this past weekend. ☹

01/22 – 207.1 (-0.4), Tuesday info: 5748 steps, 6 of 12, 5hr35m (71); Back to work. 10 hour day. Lots of sitting. Meant to get up and walk when Fitbit alerted me but that didn’t always happen. I rode my recumbent bike and logged all my food for 2nd day. I did NOT get to bed at a decent time though. I’m still a work in progress but seeing positive signs of holding myself accountable again.

01/23 – 205.6 (-1.5), Wednesday info: 7269 steps, 11 of 12, 6hr24m (76); The only hour in which I did NOT hit 250 steps was from noon to 1pm. I think that’s a NSV for sure! Was I mindful in actually getting up from my desk every hour? Nope. My work day was just that NUTS….then I was making sure to house-walk after I got home. Got some time in on the recumbent bike. First time I have made it over 7k steps in one day that did not involve horseback riding. Food choices have been good. I even allowed myself room for ice cream before bed and 2 Lindor’s peppermint/white chocolates after I was in bed. *guilty pleasure* Still could do better on sleep though. One day at a time.
