Calories were fine yesterday, but I had lunch out with a friend and I’m sure I got a big sodium blast. This evening we’re going to a tiny pitch in, but I’ll aim for healthy. I’ll have to sample desserts so I don’t insult anyone, but will keep it small. Happy Saturday, all!
1/19/20 - 177.4
It is COLD this morning — 7F, feels like -11. Whee! Wishing you all a comfy, safe Sunday. ❄️🌬☃️

Aaack. I thought I was gaining control and then had ice cream last night. Oh, well, today’s another day and another fresh start.
1/22/20 -178.2
Oh, come on. I was fine on calories yesterday. Maybe it’s the ice cream from Monday. Whatever.
1/23/20 - 177.2
Okay, that’s better.
1/24/20 - 177
It’s a dreary day here — I think this afternoon, after the gym, I’ll curl up with a book. Happy Friday, all!

Round 102 – Round 2 for me
Original starting weight: 155lb
EW for round 101: 127lb
Ultimate goal weight: 124lb (maintenance is 123-126)
Goal weight for this round: 125.4
1/18 126.4 Good start to the challenge
1/19 126.8 Expected that bump, enjoyed Chipotle for lunch.. stayed under my calorie goal, but still a large meal than I typically have.
1/20 DNW
1/21 127.4 I know I sound like a cliché.. but I really don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I have truly been at my goal (honestly, I’m usually under my goal each day) and have gotten a work out in each day, and I’m still have such a hard time losing. This isn’t my first rodeo, so I know how to do it.. I’m not sure why I’m struggling so much this time. It might be because it’s only a few pounds to lose, could be just natural fluctuations, could be this horrid cold I have. I don’t know. But it is so frustrating.
1/22 126.6 Here we go back down… hopefully it will stick this time and continue downward. This cold is still kicking my butt, taking it easy but still trying to get some form of exercise in each day.
1/23 126.8 Another perfect day, another day with no loss.
1/24 126.0 Finally, thank you! I looked back at my diary this past week, to see if I noticed anything different, anything that might hinder weight loss. I noticed my sodium a bit higher than usual (not over 2300mg, but higher than my usual intake.) So maybe that’s been the hold up? I adjusted my meal plan for next week to make sure I’m not having foods that are real high sodium, see if that helps. Lowest weigh-in I've had since restarting back up after the holiday break!

01/18 – Didn’t weigh, not at home.
01/19 – Didn’t weigh, not at home. Date with hubby yesterday and I took a break from tracking. Outback for lunch and we did eat blooming onion petals, but I only hate half of my lunch entrée and saved the rest for dinner. Then to the movies, but no snacks or sodas.
01/20 – 123.4 – Not too bad considering the weekend.
01/21 – 123.2
01/22 – 122.8 – Been eating my pre-planned lunches this week. Busy day yesterday, so I had a quick light dinner. Then when I finally got home, enjoyed one of my current favorite snacks. Vanilla Greek yogurt with fresh pineapple and a little bit of granola for some crunch.
01/23 – 122.8
01/24 – 122.8 – I guess at least I’m being consistent…and TOM showed up early, so I am happy there isn’t a bump up

Round 101 EW - 172.8
1/18 - 172.4
1/19 - 171.8
1/20 - 172.0 Great weekend. Ate sensibly. Going to keep it going at work this week.
1/21 - 171.8 Monday was good. Found some dark chocolate covered almonds on the clearance shelf. Just a couple of these delicious morsels make the best reward at the end of the day. (Hard to eat just 2 but there are only 12 so I'm going to try to make them last - my challenge for the week).
1/22 - 171.0 This round is going great. I think I've found a plan that will work. I'm eating mostly the same meals every day which makes it soooo much easier for me. No decisions. Eating a lot of eggs (love eggs) cooked every which way with different bits of meat/veggies thrown in. No cholesterol problems so not worried about that. Throw in a good salad with lots of good veggies. A small piece of chocolate and ta-da the weight is coming off. Oh yes, also lots of water! (There are other foods involved but not on a regular basis.)
1/23 - 170.6
1/24 - 170.6 Ok with this. Ate a bit more yesterday. Happy there wasn't a gain.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 - 387.1 - Good start. Knee pain almost gone. Gonna try a little walking and lifting today.
01/19 - 387.1 - My knee finally feels better, but now I've got on helluva head cold. I'll rest today, but may try a little something later.
01/20 - 386.2 - Still have my cold, but feeling better. Definitely going to the gym today.
01/21 - 385.0 - HUGE jump over the last few days. From illness or changes? I began intermittent fasting on Sunday 15/9 pattern. A little tough without those late night snacks, but mornings aren't too bad if I drink water/sea salt to replace electrolytes, then coffee when I get back from my walk. Gonna focus that first meal @ 10AM on protein and last snack @ 7PM on protein bar.
01/22 - 383.6 - The only major change in the past few weeks has been starting Intermittent Fasting. I don't want to drop too fast, but I also expected a fast initial drop. As long as I can slow it down (w/ more calories in my eating window), I'll be fine.
01/23- 381.2 - OK, even I am a little surprised how well IF seems to work for me. I still have a head cold, so little exercise, at all. This weight loss is all Intermittent Fasting, so, for me, this seems to work very well.
01/24 - 379.8 - And the drop continues. Considering I was over 400 lbs. just before Thanksgiving, I'm very happy. Just getting over this headcold, plus starting Intermittent Fasting almost a week ago, this seems to be MY key.

01/21-171.2 sweet. Didn't get a workout in yet this week but calories has been good. Need to drink more water though.
01/22-170.6woohoo
01/23-170.2 first workout of the week yesterday, feeling good about this challenge. Seems like my kiddos are coming down with something, really going to have to stay strong if they get sick, that always throws me off.

01/24 - 149.5 - I didn't get a chance to post yesterday but I weighed in. Seems like today the sodium water weight dropped off and I'm back down. Really excited for it. Yesterday morning I woke up at 1am freaking out that I missed one of my interviews I had forgotten about. Turns out, that's here in about 10 minutes. Another video/telephone interview on Monday and I got called for an in person second interview with the company I interviewed with this past Tuesday. That will happen the 3rd. Its so exciting and nerve-wracking. But it definitely is keeping me on track with weight loss because there will be lots of beach days if I move to Texas before the summer and I want to be able to wear a swimsuit confidently and not panic or freak out every time.

01/21 - Not at all bad for as long as its been. It was so ridiculously nice outside all weekend and my interview went well. Came back to "feels like" temps in the negatives so not happy about that. Have a phone interview today with a different place but I think I may be getting an offer letter in the next few days from yesterday's interview (based on what my recruiters said after he spoke with the company). We shall see. Nervous as all get out because I think I want the job they're interviewing me for today more than yesterday's but I don't want to turn down the first one and not end up getting the second one. And I have someone supposedly interested in me but haven't heard from them to set up an interview yet. Goal: DON'T STRESS EAT AS MUCH AS I WANT TO
01/22 - Salty, salty, salty. I had Chinese last night since I ended up working over yesterday and didn't have anything at home to make (I didn't pull anything out of the freezer, oops). Oh well, it'll go back down quickly if I don't fall off the wagon again.

Rushed out to Latin Study this morning. Then went for lunch with some friends. Healthy choice! Leek & Potato soup with whole meal seeded bread. 😂
Never give up! Never give in!2018:2020
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!
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.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

1/21 161.7 0 miles Very frustrated with weight and food and all of it. The same thing happened in January last year. I just lost my way after doing well over the holiday. I've not been eating great though I'm still walking as much as possible. I'm still tracking but not being 100 honest with it. A lot going on in my life right now - most of it very good but it's an excuse somehow to behave badly. I've been spending too much money and spending too many calories all on junk. If I would just drop the extra water I've been carrying around for almost 2 weeks I'd feel better.
1/22 162.1 3.3 miles I can't seem to avoid sodium. Ate back all my exercise calories yesterday. I got in a little more than three miles. It's snowing/raining/sleeting today so I don't think I'll walk. I don't mind walking in the snow, but the sleet makes it too slick. I'm just going to stick to my plan and what happens - happens with weight.. It will come down, I will continue to exercise.
1/23 164.0 0 miles Yes, I had Chinese for lunch. I went as low calorie as possible but the sodium was high. My calorie count was on target so I'm trying to not worry. I started with extra water yesterday and I will continue to drink more today. I feel like the first 30 pounds flew off and the last 20 has been holding on for dear life. Still too snowy and cold for walking. I'm going to the gym tonight and since I've been so spotty with it I know I'll be sore tomorrow. Maybe that's what I need and little pain to remind me.
1/24 163.4 0 miles Went to the gym last night, stretching and weights felt great. Down only slightly. I need more water to finish this bump. Still snowy and cold but if the snow stops I'm going to walk this afternoon.10 -

Goal for Round 102 - to continue to eat healthy, drink water, no sugar or processed food. IF 4 out of 7 days, Row, lift weights and walk. 174.5 pounds
Tracking my next goal: hit 160's again!!
Round 102 Daily Recap1/18 176.0 I've lost 10 pounds! What a great way to start this round. It was time for a slight drop so very happy to see it! I had my doubts because I didn't exercise yesterday, or drink enough water and I made english muffin bread and had one slice, which I was still only 1157 calories. The bread only has 63 calories an oz. What I'm most proud of though is the fact I only ate one slice of bread. NEVER in the past would I have had the willpower or control over my cravings to do this, especially in the evenings! Here's to this being a successful round for all of us!
1/19 176.0 I've had a small cold so hadn't exercised for a few days. Rowed 30 mins this morning. Will be shoveling snow later today. Beautiful Sunday morning with the snow untouched yet and deep blue sky. Have a lovely day all!
1/20 177.0 - Yike, that wasn't easy to write.
It just reminds me that I can't get too excited or too low whichever way the scale goes and watch the trend. First time over 1500 calories in 3 weeks on Saturday - 1671 calories, which isn't too bad. Yesterday was 1391 but too many carbs and too much sodium. I've had a cold so didn't exercise Friday and Saturday but did row yesterday and this morning. Have not drank enough water either. So many things to work on over the next eight days of this round! I'm still happy to be out of the 180's FOREVER!!!!
1/21 177.0 Okay, I guess this is the weight I'm going to have to work with
What I did well: Before, I would have been binging and off my 'diet' for weeks by now and especially if my weight went up. The fact I'm still encouraged and sticking to it I am EXTREMELY grateful! I held my calories at 1573 and rowed. I appreciate the small changes that aren't scale related like the fact my clothes fit better.
What I didn't do well: I did not drink water. I ate too many carbs. I made chicken soup for my cold a few days ago and did not have low sodium chicken broth so too much sodium. I haven't done IF for a few days. I haven't had enough vegetables or fruit.
So, I'm throwing down a challenge to myself by writing down all my goals for today on tomorrow's date and I will have to take them off if I don't do them
1/22 175.9 I wrote these goals down yesterday to get back on it and did it! 64 oz of water _Yes_; 4 vegies _YEP_; 2 fruit: _Yes_ (my favorite: frozen blueberries, raspberries and milk in a blender - so good)_; stayed under 1200 calories: _1180_; rowed: _Yes_; turn on favorite songs and dance for 10 mins (because music makes everything better!) _Yep_; began IF before 5PM: _did it!_
I felt like I was slowly losing all the good habits I had created over the past 3 weeks. I can handle my weight fluctuating because that's perfectly normal, as long as I'm doing the right things; however, what got me over the past 3 to 4 days was I could tell I was starting to slip back into my old ways and know from experience this leads to me binging and falling off entirely for weeks, and gaining all my weight back to boot. Not this time, though. I caught myself, learned it's okay if I'm off a few days (it doesn't mean I blew it) and I don't have to be so damn rigid - just get right back to eating healthy and exercising. Goodness, losing weight really is as much about your mental/emotional health as it is physical, isn't it...?! AND working on both is necessary!
1/23 175.0 - Yesterday was another good day. Calories: 1181 / Rowing: 30 mins / Vegies: 4 / Fruit: 2 / Water 50 oz (ok, not great) / IF 17 hours. Made it thru 3 or 4 days of feeling like I was about to cave - glad to be on the other side of that!

@jca12345 Setting a goal which is too aggressive in the past was what led me to being discouraged and failure. In these challenges my goal was to have my round average be less than the previous round. That worked for me.9

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.
01/24 120.0. Essentially ate carnivore yesterday.10 -

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18--205.0 I barely drank any water yesterday. My upper back is still sore from yesterday, but I did take some pain meds and used a heating pad last night and it definitely helped. Hubby and I are going to paint the laundry room/storage room this weekend. I'm going to try and go out for a walk today, but it's supposed to be raining all day so who knows.
01/19--204.8 Upper back feeling better. Hubby finished 1/2 of the painting, and I will do some more painting today. Strength coach today.
01/20--204.5 I had a dexa scan on Friday and frustratingly, my body fat % hardly changed from my last scan. While, I did lose a good % of body fat, because I also lost lean muscle mass, my body fat % basically stayed the same from my last scan. I talked to my strength coach yesterday about the results, and it was clear that I'm not eating enough protein. So, my first goal is to get my protein amount to 100g per day, I need to eat more than 100g, but it's a start.
01/21--204.5 106g of protein yesterday. It took a bit of maneuvering to make sure that I got in my protein, which included a late evening snack of roasted chicken, but I got my protein in. Rest day today.
01/22--204.3 105g of protein yesterday. It was a little easier to get my protein in as I was a little better at planning it out. But it was more difficult in that the increased protein made me feel fuller throughout the day, such that by lunch time I didn't want to eat anymore, even though I hadn't eaten enough calories for the day, and I still needed to eat more protein to reach my protein goal. I know it will take my body a little while to get used to the increase in protein, so I just need to stick to it. Strength coach today.
01/23--204.5 100g of protein yesterday. I had a great workout yesterday. Rest day today.
01/24--205.0 101g of protein yesterday. I am treating my 100g of protein goal as a game. Last night I needed 1g of protein to reach my goal, so I started looking in my cupboard and reading all of the nutritional labels. Then I found out that one piece of my dark chocolate has 1g of protein, I was so excited...so of course I had to have 2 pieces.

Day/Weight/Comment:
1/18: 149.2 (+1) - Cheat day extraordinaire! Movie with darling daughter so of course popcorn and candy. Sorry not sorry. She’s back to college on Monday and I got to spend time with her! Worth every calorie. Bummer is today I am in 9 hours of tax return training to become a volunteer preparer. I hate sitting for that long!!!!😵
1/19: 148.0 (-1.2) This is not going to last lol! 😂 I sat on my fanny all day in a training class yesterday and had a nice dinner with wine. But that is weight for you! Today, run and gym and good food choices.
1/20:148.2 (+.2) Another week, another chance to kill it with good food, exercise and self care. Let’s get it💪💪
1/21: 147.2 (-1.0) Rollercoaster scale…..went to yoga yesterday so the chill feels maybe helped relax my hold on fat. Today, strength circuit and cardio. Sleep is always better without alcohol!
1/22: 146.8 (-0.4) Ate ok today. Prolly could have eaten less. Had a couple of drinks….not sure why, but feeling stressed. Time for another yoga class. More water. Cardio day.🙌
1/23: 146.8 (0) Planned my eating around my book club so I could have the snacks and drinks. Good plan and workout. I will say that I do so much better sticking to the plan when I am not social. But alas, I can’t hide under a rock. I have to learn to do this MFP thing always, everywhere, forever. Cheers🍾
1/24: 148.2 (+1.4) Not that surprised….a couple of social outings and drinks and TMI alert, retaining too much if you know what I mean 😣 I always do better when I can control what is served. 2 types of cheesy pasta was not it. Oh well, love my friends so I will just get back to it this weekend.

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...
01/24: 130.0 - got totally derailed by a migraine yesterday, spent the day in bed after swimming the laps in the morning. Today is a much better day. Went to the gym and had a great workout, added some leg presses and some weight to my hip thrusts.

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.
01/21 …..189.6 ….. 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.
01/22 …..189.6 ….. 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.
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.
01/24 …..190.8 ….. Dinner out with a friend after walking at the school for 90 minutes burning 568 extra calories. Incomplete logging. Fitbit says I burned 2595 Calories and walked 6.97 total miles over the course of the day. I slept 4 hours & 53 minutes and woke up dragging and tired. I am hoping that my diet levels will keep up with my exercise levels soon. thanks to @quiltingjaine for the idea to make each round goal show a loss, ANY LOSS, from the end weight of the round before. I have amended my goals to reflect this very good idea. Now the mountain I must climb doesn't seem so high.

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 …
01/24 – 165.2 – Stayed up too late last night but did keep to IF. Not a lot of movement though – some long phone calls and going through paperwork.

01/20 398.0
01/21 396.4 (-1.6) – I am back It has been a struggle. Trying to get back on track. I see my therapist tonight. I am up 2 pounds from when I saw her on the 7th. I am moving forward. Today is a new day. :flowerforyou:
01/22 395.4 (-1.0)
01/23 394.4 (-1.0) – I really have not been keeping my dairy all the way but I have been eating cleanly for the most part. I have been doing plenty of walking but not getting in my step goal. I am gradually getting back in the swing of it. Not sure if I told you all starting in February, I will be seeing my therapist weekly. It is covered by my insurance except for the co-pay so I might as well take advantage of it. I have plenty in my FSA so I should be able to do it. This should keep me more accountable for sure. I told her I am determined to meet my goals this year. We did the math and in order to reach my goal on average I would need to lose at least 2.5 to 3 pounds per 10 days in the challenges. In the beginning I will lose more. This is completely doable and a realistic goal. I just must stay focused. I know with my Jehovah, friends, MFP support team, my therapist, and my determination I am going to move forward this year no matter what. BTW has anyone tasted the new Kale crunch salad at Chick-fil-a? It is so good!! I am addicted for sure!! That is a healthy addiction. Try it if you have not. Hope all is well with everyone, it has been snowy in Shy town!
01/24 394.0 (-0.4) – Yesterday was not a good eating day but a great walking day. I got over 8000 steps in and my goal is 6500. I burned over 1400 calories, so I guess that is why I still lost weight. It may still show up tomorrow. We will see. I am logging today. I am watching the Australian open -- tennis, so my sleep is crap!! But I am planning for this weekend not to eat any fast foods. I am going to shot for getting as close to 390 as possible. If not, I will take anything but a gain I want to maintain the 4 pounds lose. I must drink plenty of water, focus on clean eating, and intentional movement.

Total change this round: (-4.0) (SW 398 CW 394.0 GW 390)
My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.

@quiltingjaine and @jcal2345 - it is so tempting to set aggressive goals. Some people say set them higher, some say set them lower. I am just satisfied on a realistic 2020 goal and that is what I aimed for this year. So I am getting towards the end of the month and I need to lose 2.2 pounds to reach my monthly goal of 6.2. I am trying not set high round goals like Jaine said but I still did it this round!
But no more of that. From now on, I am not stating more that 5 pounds..... no matter what. If I lose more good, but I will be shooting for 4 to 5 pounds because life it what it is and this is not a straight line process, even though I am taking the steps needed to get back on track.

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.
01/24 – 204.2 (-1.4), Thursday info: 5791 steps, 9 of 12, 5hr53m (72); I had a 10+ hour work day so it was late when I got home. I was uber tired but I managed to ride the recumbent bike and stay within my calories. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to bed when I wanted to. I had missed the evening weather report so I wanted to catch the 10pm forecast. (Should have gone to bed an hour earlier.) Worried about bad weather for Saturday (barn day and 250 mile round-trip commute). #HateWinter

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.
01/24. 173.6
If anyone remembers what a record is my comments sound like a broken one. Carbs only yesterday but well below my calorie limit. Quick & easy with no prep or clean up. I'm bloated and retaining water as expected. However, I managed 20 hours fasting with a four hour eating window.
A decent meal plan was in my head but no prep so it was bread & butter substitute and a cookie. I need to get a day ahead of meal time. Otherwise I'll keep grabbing what's easy because I really want a meal within my eating window.
I'll keep working on it until I get it right. Hoping to make a 16-20 hour fasting period followed by a good full meal my norm.

Goal for Round 102 - to continue to eat healthy, drink water, no sugar or processed food. IF 4 out of 7 days, Row, lift weights and walk. 174.5 pounds
Tracking my next goal: hit 160's again!!
Round 102 Daily Recap1/18 176.0 I've lost 10 pounds! What a great way to start this round. It was time for a slight drop so very happy to see it! I had my doubts because I didn't exercise yesterday, or drink enough water and I made english muffin bread and had one slice, which I was still only 1157 calories. The bread only has 63 calories an oz. What I'm most proud of though is the fact I only ate one slice of bread. NEVER in the past would I have had the willpower or control over my cravings to do this, especially in the evenings! Here's to this being a successful round for all of us!
1/19 176.0 I've had a small cold so hadn't exercised for a few days. Rowed 30 mins this morning. Will be shoveling snow later today. Beautiful Sunday morning with the snow untouched yet and deep blue sky. Have a lovely day all!
1/20 177.0 - Yike, that wasn't easy to write. It just reminds me that I can't get too excited or too low whichever way the scale goes and watch the trend. First time over 1500 calories in 3 weeks on Saturday - 1671 calories, which isn't too bad. Yesterday was 1391 but too many carbs and too much sodium. I've had a cold so didn't exercise Friday and Saturday but did row yesterday and this morning. Have not drank enough water either. So many things to work on over the next eight days of this round! I'm still happy to be out of the 180's FOREVER!!!!
1/21 177.0 Okay, I guess this is the weight I'm going to have to work with
What I did well: Before, I would have been binging and off my 'diet' for weeks by now and especially if my weight went up. The fact I'm still encouraged and sticking to it I am EXTREMELY grateful! I held my calories at 1573 and rowed. I appreciate the small changes that aren't scale related like the fact my clothes fit better.
What I didn't do well: I did not drink water. I ate too many carbs. I made chicken soup for my cold a few days ago and did not have low sodium chicken broth so too much sodium. I haven't done IF for a few days. I haven't had enough vegetables or fruit.
So, I'm throwing down a challenge to myself by writing down all my goals for today on tomorrow's date and I will have to take them off if I don't do them
1/22 175.9 I wrote these goals down yesterday to get back on it and did it! 64 oz of water _Yes_; 4 vegies _YEP_; 2 fruit: _Yes_ (my favorite: frozen blueberries, raspberries and milk in a blender - so good)_; stayed under 1200 calories: _1180_; rowed: _Yes_; turn on favorite songs and dance for 10 mins (because music makes everything better!) _Yep_; began IF before 5PM: _did it!_
I felt like I was slowly losing all the good habits I had created over the past 3 weeks. I can handle my weight fluctuating because that's perfectly normal, as long as I'm doing the right things; however, what got me over the past 3 to 4 days was I could tell I was starting to slip back into my old ways and know from experience this leads to me binging and falling off entirely for weeks, and gaining all my weight back to boot. Not this time, though. I caught myself, learned it's okay if I'm off a few days (it doesn't mean I blew it) and I don't have to be so damn rigid - just get right back to eating healthy and exercising. Goodness, losing weight really is as much about your mental/emotional health as it is physical, isn't it...?! AND working on both is necessary!
1/23 175.0 - Yesterday was another good day. Calories: 1181 / Rowing: 30 mins / Vegies: 4 / Fruit: 2 / Water 50 oz (ok, not great) / IF 17 hours. Made it thru 3 or 4 days of feeling like I was about to cave - glad to be on the other side of that!
