JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 104

CamandJarvis · February 2020

@fit502014 Typo or 10lb increase overnight? I'd think you'd have to be holding a 10lb weight!

Best of luck with the migraine -- they're awful. Hope you start feeling better very very soon

104 GW: 133

02/07 134.4 I was determined not to go up between the end of one round and the start of the next!! So yay! Lunch out so I'm planning to eat sensibly...

02/08 134.4 I better buckle down. I didn't log yesterday because I went out for lunch and have no idea what the calories were. I simply have to end the round lower than I started. With my knee hurting and long work hours I haven't done the elliptical. I should make time for that.

02/09 134. Elliptical yesterday and knee didn't hurt (more)! Also, stayed firm and had no alcohol inspire of people strongly suggesting I would like a drink! Who needs a headache?

02/10 133.6 I'm happy I lost during the weekend, with all the social activity! I was super careful on the cheese and chips and dip over the weekend. Had like 3 chips! I wasn't very hungry last evening so didn't have a full meal. That helps too and I need to do that more often, and just save the little bits of food for the next day. There's so much food around but it doesn't mean it has to go into my stomach all at the same time.

02/11 143. A little stress easting, but mostly dinner was bits and pieces so not very healthy 😞 I have a migraine and not sure whether it was sugar or stress.

@fit502014 Did you post your last weight correctly or typo? That's nearly a 10 pound gain overnight!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/06 …..192.1….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/07 …..192.1 ….. I am starting my new plan today. I will closely monitor my glucose readings to see how it affects me. I watching also to see what happens with my tummy. So far this morning, it feels like taking my brain out and turning it completely backwards. Logging will be extra important so I can figure all this out. This experiment will likely be temporary. In the end, I don’t think it is what is normally best for me overall. Just what I need right now in regards to several medical issues. Good luck everyone this round!

02/08 …..192.0 ….. My gluclose numbers have been running too high (which is what my medication normally treats as high glucose has been my main problem over the years). Probably because of the carb increase. But it doesn’t cause the sickness and panic eating that the lows do. I will continue with my experiment and see what happens. I am just not used to considering the calories as much so it’s a brain swicheroo thing but I’ll get it. I know lower carb is better for my glucose so I am going to experiment on eating fewer calories but higher carb. The best way to explain is maybe less actual Keto and more low or thoughtful carb intake (low glycemic vs high glycemic etc). I don’t yet know what the numbers will be. Under 50 carbs? Under 100 Carbs? I’m going to try to tweak this thing for sure. If I see any persistent dangerous levels, I will make immediate necessary changes. Let’s see how this continues to go.

02/09 …..193.0 ….. Pizza. But too much. This experiment is finding me able to eat whatever I want pretty much, or so it seems at first. Then, I find it’s the quantities I must watch closer than I usually have to. So it's not quite as easy as I thought. I don’t know if I’m equipped for this mindset. It just makes me feel like I’ve thrown diet right out the window, until it doesn't make me feel that way at all! Still a restriction, but of a different kind. I suppose that whole and healthy is always the way to go, regardless of which plan you choose. Then, I forgot to test my blood sugar this morning so I lost the opportunity to see how badly pizza affects it. One thing for certain, no sugar drops in sight. I’ve got to worry now about it going too far north instead of south. I travel tomorrow out of town with brother for his test results. Likely a restaurant. I will not turn it into a binge day!

02/10 …..193.1 ….. I call this a normal fluctuation this morning. Traveled today and became a human vacuum cleaner. I really don’t even know at this point what my calories should be with this experiment I am on. The same as before? A bit more? I just don’t know. I am consistently hitting in the 1500’s which normally puts me over. I think this is for the birds. I’m rethinking but still nervous about my glucose. I guess I’ll just have to sleep on it. All in all, I honestly don't know is its such a bad idea, I just don't think I'm ready for such a major transition. I dunno. Gotta lot to think about still yet.

02/11 …..194.8 ….. Still a weight gain after travel & restaurants but overeating is overeating on any plan. School is finally reopened today. It has been closed since after session on the 3rd. closed to massive student and staff illness with the flu. So It has been over a week since I could do my normal walking. It is so hard to gauge my experiment when most of my exercise has come to a halt. Northern Michigan has been gripped with this flu. I was sick most of last week myself and though everything including our government offices were shut down over it, I still am not sure if it was flu or body organ pain. I swear it felt more like pancreatitis or gall bladder. I’m still trying to use my fats more as a lever and give my gall bladder a break! I have a new idea for today. We’ll see how it pans out. In the meantime, my morning fast glucose numbers are THROUGH THE ROOF. First too low, then too high. There has got to be a happy medium in there somewhere! I’m going to follow through for another few days with the new ideas & information I’m acquiring. If it doesn’t get any better, I’m back to my low-carb basics! The next few days should be little (to no) traveling and more walking again. This will give me a better picture with my normal exercise and movement routine back in place. @quiltingjaine Your tip to drink plenty of water when traveling as it will flush but also require you to stop more often and MOVE, is so insightful. The VERY BEST thing about this particular challenge is the insights people have and share. Sometimes someone can just see things from an angle I hadn’t seen or thought of. I always travel with my hot black coffee, that helps a bit, but the water is even better (and healthier). From now on, I bring both! I am ALWAYS, ALWAYS low on my water intake when I travel. NO MORE! Thanks so much for another great tip!

100 Days of Weighing In #3 ^^^^^ November 22, 2019 through March 1, 2020
My Name is Donna, Age 59. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA

“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou

Ending Weight Last Round: 186.8
Day 01 – 11/22 ……185.6……Off to a good start with very careful menu planning yesterday and a walk that was extra long. Good luck to everyone this round! This challenge will probably be the hardest of the entire year because of all the holidays. We can do this!
Day 02 – 11/23 ……185.2…… Lunch yesterday with a friend but still down 0.4. Happy with that. Dinner tonight with a different friend but they promised to make it low carb friendly so we shall see!
Day 03 – 11/24 ……185.0…… A small & welcomed drop.
Day 04 – 11/25 ...….183.6…… Thrilled with today. Tomorrow & Wednesday brings Big City travel to a country bumpkin like me. I have to admit it, I am already looking forward to restaurants & treats. I’ve decided to pick one day to contain myself, and the other to indulge. My goal is to be more mindful tomorrow (Day 1 of travel).
Day 05 – 11/26 ……184.0…… Travel Day canceled until tomorrow. I have NO IDEA why my weight fluctuated up. Perfect eating day yesterday & a ton of extra calorie burn. Not enough water, could that be it? Never enough sleep-in the 4 hour range again but that is typical for me.
Day 06 – 11/27 ……187.8…… This is an after-travel weigh in. I ended up traveling yesterday after all. But today’s travel cancelled. Thank Goodness for that because I cannot afford another restaurant and I’m not talking about money here! Mad at my scale and a little at myself. I swear carbs are out to get me! Portion control was good. Choices sucked. This is what mashed potatoes & gravy and dinner rolls look like on a scale!
Day 07 – 11/28 ……185.6…… A Whoosh back down after a very low calorie & low carb day filled with extra long exercise/activity. I’m working for this! My feast is not until Saturday so I am already hanging my head in shame for anticipation of that dreaded upcoming Sunday weigh-in. Even so, I will enjoy it but not let it be the start of my usual fall/winter downhill spiral.
Day 08 – 11/29 ……183.6…… Worked hard for this so I’m feeling pretty rewarded right now. Our Thanksgiving is tomorrow. I don’t want to blow it, but I’ll be honest, I can’t wait for mashed potatoes and pie!
Day 09 – 11/30 ……182.4…… Today is Our Large Family Thanksgiving Day Dinner Celebration. I am thrilled with the scale. I’ve banked calories & carbs for the dinner & desserts (if such a thing is really possible). It may not help on the overnight, but in the grand scheme of things I hope it will make a difference. I will enjoy today but I will not let it become the downward spiral that usually starts for me on Thanksgiving and doesn’t end until after Easter. Not this year! No Ma’am! No Sir! Not This Year!

Weight Loss in November (9 days)……………….. – 4.4 lbs Lost.

Day 10 – 12/01 ……187.4…… After Turkey Day weigh-in. I gained 5 pounds overnight eating child-sized portions. I burned more calories than I ate. Carbs hate me, but that’s okay, I hate them too and I will be counting them carefully today.
Day 11 – 12/02 ……183.2…… Finally TMI potty after 4 days of no action so that obviously helped, especially after a Thanksgiving Dinner on Saturday. Weight down 4 pounds overnight, but went up 5 pounds overnight so I still need to get rid of another pound to break even. However, I am pleased with this whoosh. Today will be a good day. School is reopened after 4 days so I can walk the school halls again and get some burning action in. I can’t wait!
Day 12 – 12/03 ……183.6…… A normal fluctuation. Everything was on point yesterday – Calories, Carbs & Exercise.
Day 13 – 12/04 ……182.6…… A pound down today. Happy with that. Tomorrow I travel to the city & Christmas shop. Long drive but lots of walking once I get there. Restaurants will set me back but I will conquer those scale increases quick enough!
Day 14 – 12/05 …….184.6……This is what sloppy joes look like on me. But it was nice having dinner at a friend’s house. Long travel trip today in car. Tomorrow weigh-in will not be pretty but it will be temporary.
Day 15 – 12/06 …….186.6……After travel weigh-in.
Day 16 – 12/07 …….187.4……And more food today when I attend my DGS #4’s birthday party. He is turning 2.
Day 17 – 12/08 …….188.4…… No comment.
Day 18 – 12/09 …….188.2…… I’ll take what I can get!
Day 19 – 12/10 …….188.8…… Dinner at my friend’s. She served Pasta to a person eating low-carb! Did she sabotage me? Did I sabotage myself? I think both! Today will be a very strict day!
Day 20 – 12/11 …….188.8…… Decorating finally done. Now for the wrapping marathon which began last night!
Day 21 – 12/12 …….186.6……I love it when I stick to my food plan because it really works. Even with the complete lack of exercise during my wrapping marathon (which is not over yet!)
Day 22 – 12/13 …….184.0…… Another good day on the scale although there was absolutely no exercise except the monumental wrapping projects which are ongoing!
Day 23 – 12/14 …….183.4…… Yay. Another good day yesterday (except for exercise). More wrapping completed, but more to go! Super hungry today. All my food is outside in boxes because my new fridge was just delivered. Until I can get the food back inside and placed into the new fridge, God Help Me from getting into my cabinets because THAT is never good. Cabinets are all processed, high carb, high calorie foods that belong to my son, I have no business getting into them!
Day 24 – 12/15 …….183.6…… Normal fluctuation . No worries. I had an unexpected trip out of town today so my scale will bounce back up tomorrow from a high carb lunch but it’s nothing I can’t handle.
Day 25 – 12/16 …….186.6……After Travel weigh-in. No movement, big lunch. This is where the going downhill really begins. More travel today as I take my brother to the city for Doctors and shopping. Lunch out is inevitable. Can I not turn it into a binge tonight? I’m really going to try!
Day 26 – 12/17 …….187.7…… After travel weigh-in (again). Otherwise, no comment.
Day 27 – 12/18 …….188.2…… From bad to worse. More wrapping today which is little to no steps. Lack of exercise is definitely not helping!
Day 28 – 12/19 …….189.6……
Day 29 – 12/20 …….191.4…… I’m going to have to take drastic measures tomorrow.
Day 30 – 12/21 …….191.4…… A better day today, but as shown on the scale reading, yesterday….notsomuch!
Day 31 – 12/22 …….187.8…… Better, just like I promised. However, DGS#3 has a birthday party today (3rd birthday party this month for family members). Pizza, cake & ice cream. I am looking forward to the Pizza. Haven’t had it in awhile. However, my commitment to myself is that I will not turn it into an all night binge on EVERYTHING I’ve been craving. Wish me luck!
Day 32 – 12/23 …….190.2…… Babysitting DGS #4 today (age 2). I am going to do my fudge and baking today (if he will let me!) No taste-testing. Today will be a low cal/low carb day.
Day 33 – 12/24 …….192.0…… Disasterous. The big Family Dinner is tomorrow followed by travel on the 26th or 27th. A beautiful time of year, but my body can’t wait for January to get here. Corrupted!
Day 34 – 12/25 …….192.6…… Merry Christmas everyone!
Day 35 – 12/26 …….195.4…… No words except that now the work begins!
Day 36 – 12/27 …….195.4…… I wasn’t going for maintenance.
Day 37 – 12/28 …….194.0…… Better on the scale, but not much better on the food choices. I just ate less of the junk. Today I am aiming for healthy low carb & low calorie choices.
Day 38 – 12/29 …….190.4…… I had a fabulous day yesterday with the diet plan, but had to power through some pretty strong hunger late last night. Atkins meal bar kept it reasonable calories and low net carb. Fairlife milk coated my tummy and I felt very full while staying in plan. I was very low on fiber in my macros so I knew the snack bar would help with that nicely. I probably should have eaten more protein for dinner. Trending back down so I’m happy to have gotten the ball rolling again.
Day 39 – 12/30 …….190.4…… Holding steady which is pretty good considering my movie night with my son last night. Today I am going for any loss, even 0.1 . I’ve got to rid myself of the Christmas indulgences that are making my pants tight.
Day 40 – 12/31 …….191.2…… The candy dish fought me and won AFTER I had already eaten all my meals and snacks for the day. Have a safe New Years Eve everyone!

Weight Loss in December……………….. 8.8 lb GAIN
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..4.4 lb GAIN Look out January, here I come!

Day 41 – 01/01 …….189.2…… Happy New Year Everyone!
Day 42 – 01/02 …….188.2.…… Recommitting myself.
Day 43 – 01/03 …….190.0.…… A very fast glucose drop (I’m type 2 Diabetic) caused a quick eating spree putting me over cals & carbs. This happens on occasion, but especially when I am not careful to regulate the time of my meals. I am working carefully on this today although still not feeling very well.
Day 44 – 01/04 …….190.0……
Day 45 – 01/05 …….192.4 …… Food festival for the crew for helping me “undecorated” my business and home and store all the Christmas stuff. I shouldn’t have partaken. Today I clean cabins, redecorate my house with my regular décor (without assistance), and DRINK MY WATER for Goodness sakes!
Day 46 – 01/06 …….191.8…… Better, but I still need to reduce the carbs. Calories & activity/exercise going well.
Day 47 – 01/07 …….190.6…… Tons of calorie burn yesterday helped tremendously.
Day 48 – 01/08 …….190.6…… No change due to no improvement.
Day 49 – 01/09 …….194.0…… Epic fail during travel yesterday. Lots of sitting and a restaurant was involved. The meal was nice but not worth it.
Day 50 – 01/10 …….194.2…… I am experiencing severe glucose drops (T2D). The drops seem to come at night AFTER I’ve had my allotted calories and carbs. Correcting is adding carbs & cals that I didn’t expect. Reducing earlier in the day will only make the drops more severe. I am going to have to tip-toe around this until it stabilizes. I’m going to pull out my bag of tricks. I’ll do whatever it takes to restart my journey.
Day 51 – 01/11 …….194.2…… Working hard on the glucose problem but need to work on the water more too. Holding steady is a good thing at this point.
Day 52 – 01/12 …….194.2…… Steady weight, steady glucose. At least for yesterday. I will continue to take necessary small steps today to ease back into low carbs and calories.
Day 53 – 01/13 …….195.4…… Lots of activity and exercise. Too much food. It’s true…..You can’t outrun the fork.
Day 54 – 01/14 …….192.0…… I have been “easing” back into the lower carb & calorie lifestyle. Taking it slow became very necessary during some pretty severe glucose drops. I am happy to say that yesterday was much better with only one small drop on the glucose meter. I was able to stick to plan much better without getting sick or frenzied. Lets hope this progress continues because I am really REALLY wanting to get things back to “normal” for me.
Day 55 – 01/15 …….189.7…… Another nice drop. Worked hard for this walking over 10 miles yesterday and over 23,000 steps. First complete good day on the glucose level staying steady. My body is readjusting back to the steady “diet”. Yay!
Day 56 – 01/16 …….189.7…… Scale holding steady after 2 days of good drops. Yesterday was a good day. My DGS age 11 walked with me at the school.
Day 57 – 01/17 …….189.9…… Showing a normal fluctuation. Diet on plan but no planned exercise yesterday due to workload. I did get in my 10,000 steps but little more.
Day 58 – 01/18 …….189.9…… I’m on track with meals & exercise. I’ve just GOT TO watch those snacks!
Day 59 – 01/19 …….189.7…… A drop in the bucket is better than no drop at all! Social gathering food last night did not “hurt” as bad as I thought. We’ll see if anything shows up tomorrow, or if I’ve dodged a bullet.
Day 60 – 01/20 …….189.7…… Keeping the blood sugars slow and steady as I slowly get back into a routine of weight loss. It’s all good, I know what to do to get back to routine SAFELY.
Day 61 – 01/21 …….189.6…… A little high on calories but carbs weren’t too bad for my easing back in plan. Sugars stayed level, if not a bit high. No scary drop last night but I didn’t expect one because I overdid the snack a little in fear (again). I’ll get my good macros back soon. I’m just not jumping too quickly. A nice little drop on the scale was nice to see this morning.
Day 62 – 01/22 …….189.6…… A small episode on the glucose last night left me a bit over on carbs but the calories were good and the drop in glucose less frenzied and more manageable.
Day 63 – 01/23 …….189.9…… An exercise rest day but I got lots of work at home done which is a nice start to many projects. I went over on cals & carbs yesterday but it could have been worse. Kicking myself in butt though because this was not a fast glucose drop scenario, it was a lack of willpower when cooking my son’s dinner. Ugggg.
Day 64 – 01/24 …….190.8…… Oopsie Daisy
Day 65 – 01/25 …….191.6…… An extremely scary drop in blood glucose which almost required an ambulance. Shoveling in the carbs brought it back up along with the numbers on the scale. Can’t win for losing (or for gaining in this case). Feeling better today but being careful. I gotta somehow fix this within being put on insulin shots.
Day 66 – 01/26 …….190.0…… A better night. Keeping the faith.
Day 67 – 01/27 …….190.0…… I can’t get into the school to walk on Saturdays & Sundays because it is closed. That is where our community walks in the winter as we have no malls, big box stores or gyms in our little rural farming community. So I have not had major exercise since Friday. I’m glad to have maintained.
Day 68 – 01/28 …….189.9…… Travel today. Fingers crossed for strength & mindfulness. I expect some water retention after a restaurant meal, I can handle that. Please no true fat!
Day 69 – 01/29 …….191.8…… Pizza Hut yesterday while traveling with my brother for his medical. His choice of restaurant. I kept it reigned in for the most part but fluid retention is obvious today. I will work on that today.
Day 70 – 01/30 …….191.8……
Day 71 – 01/31 …….191.6…… Another small glucose drop late late last night but it was a slo-mo so I was able to control it only going a bit over my carb and calorie goals. I am still working it through. I thought I was safe for the night. It occurred at about 2:30 a.m. I can, however, see that it is improving a bit in its intensity. I’ll keep at it so that it does not stand in the way of my weight loss goals. #notgivingup

Weight Loss in January……………….. 2.4 lb GAIN (from Jan 1st)
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..3.8 lb GAIN from the challenge starting date.

Day 72 – 02/01 …….191.6…… Over calorie and carb yesterday but good exercise. I hope it don’t show up on the scale in the next few days. More cals out than in, but still not within plan.
Day 73 – 02/02 …….192.0…… Underestimated yesterday’s cals & carbs until later and closer inspection. A stupid mistake so this is not too unexpected. I am going to try to be mindful today on Super bowl Sunday. Enjoy your day everyone, wherever you are!
Day 74 – 02/03 …….192.6…… Superbowl. It could have been worse. Lasagna but no starchy snacks.
Day 75 – 02/04 …….192.3…… I wish I could take proper credit for the drop on the scale but I can’t. Gripping stomach pain yesterday and last night. Flu? Pancreatitis or gall bladder? Not sure, but I am cautiously optimistic for today. Taking it slow.
Day 76 – 02/05 …….192.6…… Still ill. I am not eating much. Fluid retention from sodium and lack of TMI. Today I will work on water. I will still keep it a bit low fat to help relieve gall bladder and pancreas. A bit afraid to eat anything at all but I am going to work on it today and see how it goes.
Day 77 – 02/06 …….192.1…… Starting now for the next 10 days, I am going to try something new in the hopes of helping my gall bladder, my glucose numbers, yet still my weight. I will focus more on my calories and (a little) less on my carbs. I am hoping to rest my gall bladder from excess fat, raise my glucose numbers a bit but still see something positive on the scale. We’ll see how this experiment goes.
Day 78 – 02/07 …….192.1…… Day one of new plan. This new plan will probably be temporary in nature. A few weeks, a few months? Not sure yet, but I’ve got to work with my medical issures at this time, that’s #1.
Day 79 – 02/08 …….192.0…… Glucose running a bit high because of added carbs (to avoid the too lows). Still tweaking. Scale down a touch. I was over calorie by just a tiny bit (used to counting carbs instead), but I’m working on the formulas from day to day.
Day 80 – 02/09 …….193.0…… Still trying to sort this new plan out. I was over calorie yesterday so this is not a surprise. I travel out of town tomorrow. That is not going to help.
Day 81 – 02/10 …….193.1…… Normal fluctuation. I traveled today so tomorrow won’t be pretty.
Day 82 – 02/11 …….194.8…… Way too much of everything yesterday during travel. High Cal. High Carb. Low Movement. Too much sitting in car. Low water intake. A complete disaserous & unsuccessful day. Ground zero today!

Hello friends!

OSW 201
Round 102 EW 189.8
Round 103 EW 188.8

Goal this round <187.0
1 - Track my calories everyday and stay below maintenance
2 - Hit my steps every day

02/06 188.2 I'm happy starting off with this number, finally getting close to my start weight way back from 2 rounds ago. Maybe my body is getting used to the meds now. I just need to keep up my plan over the weekend and not blow it.

02/07 187.4 Very excited to see this drop. Maybe I will make my goal this round! Just skimmed by under my calorie goal yesterday so that was good. Veggies and lean turkey for lunch and Mexican dinner with lady friends tonight. I'm thinking grilled chicken taco salad?

02/08 189.6 Ok I did fine on the food, but the Texas margarita pushed me over the edge of my calories. Rats. And here to pay the salt fine is an extra 2.5 lbs from yesterday. Hope it subsides quickly.

02/09 189.x I forgot to record it

02/10 189.2 wow this is ridiculous. TOM finally came 26 days late.. I can only assume this is water weight hanging around. Also came down with a bad migraine today which causes me to crave carbs and sugar.. Didn't eat healthy but I still came in under my calories so there's that. Gym tomorrow!

02/11 191.4 really don't know what I'm doing wrong. Today I'm going to drink some dandelion tea to try and get rid of some of this water retention. I don't normally record my water intake but I think I will start just to pay more attention to it.

R104 – Theme: It’s A Marathon Not A Sprint!

Goals in 2020: gain lean muscle mass, gain strength, improve running times, focus on macros esp protein goals, hit goal weight.

56 year young, female, 5' 7"ft

OSW 160.0 lbs
RSW 147.6 lbs
RGW 145ish lbs (Anything with a 145 in it will be good)
UGW 137.0 lbs (I want to gain muscle/going by jeans fit/ so this is just a #)

Past Rounds:

R101 1/17/20 EW: 148.2
R102: 1/27/20 EW: 149.0
R103: 2/06/20 EW: 147.0

Day/Weight/Comment
2/7: 147.6 (+.6): Going to try to focus on macros and leaving calories in the bank. 😎

2/8: 147.0 (-.6): This will change. I ate well but had my weekend cocktails. My dang right hip is not improving and after running very slowly for 3 miles, limped the rest of the day. I’m sure it’s a temp injury but finally decided to deal with it – going to Airrosti on Monday. In the meantime, I will walk, do my strength circuit, cycle, row…..whatever to keep burning. Weekends are tough for me 😏

2/9: 147.2 (+.2) Walked 7 miles. Hello advil. 🙄

2/10: 146.4 (-.8) Think this is just eating under my cals. Had a very lazy day after my long walk – low energy. Hoping to work through hip issues and get back to my normal exercise regime. 😎

2/11: 146.6 (+.2) It’s going to be a non normal week as I work through my hip injury. Went to Airrosti – painful deep tissue work, but hope it will break up the tightness and get me back on the trail sooner. So I can’t run till this weekend. I will just compensate in the gym and try to eat a little less.🤐

Day/Weight/Comment:

02/07: 128.0 Good start. Met my protein goal yesterday. Probably won't weigh in again for a few days, just wanted an accurate starting weight. Today was a rest day but I ended up playing an hour of pickleball. Will do my leg gym workout tomorrow.

02/08: Went over on calories today, went to a party and made good choices but pretty impossible to track.

02/09: Played some pickleball outside, spent the rest of the day working and stayed well under my calorie goal but did not meet my protein macro.

02/10: Tentatively stepped on the scale - still at 128.0, phew. Hoping to stay on track today, I'm getting a cold, have a boat load of work to get through and didn't sleep well. Sort of a recipe for a disaster. Plus, I'm skipping my workout today and have a class tonight, feeling scattered and off kilter. Thinking a nap might help.

02/11: 127.4 lbs. And a NSV, we have an event next weekend and I have to buy a dress because all my dresses are too big. Including the one I bought in November (that I am completely in love with, sort of sad actually). Hit my protein macro yesterday and stayed under calories despite feeling crappy. Had a fantastic work out this morning followed by an hour of pickleball with my left hand, sort of getting the hang of it. Off to work and maybe look at some dresses if I get a minute.

Round 103 - Jan.28 to Feb.6
Female, 5’, 66 years. SW – 165, 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.
Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 – 166 – Out for dinner Thurs., for sure way over cals.
02/08 – 165.8
02/09 - 166
02/10 – 165.8 – Rather late to the game and thought about skipping the Round but then thought, “And would I end up making those cheat days? Oh, very possibly – just by accident, of course, you know.” So back at it. Off to the gym today and sunshine in absolutely blue sky after days of gray fog and snow.
02/11 – 165.6 – Sorting through papers and came across the Dr.’s handout on invisible GERD. Untreated it can affect your vocal chords! As someone who loves singing and has worked pretty hard at improving the last few years, this is major motivation. Of course, the primary suggested treatment is lose weight. The second is no food in the evening.

@TwistedSassette Drink more water when you’re traveling. It means more potty breaks but that’s good for you too - getting out and keeping the blood circulating.

Thanks for the advice @quiltingjaine - I do typically drink a lot of water, even when travelling. Have to be careful with the loo breaks since in our rural area, it's often over an hour between rest areas! But I do drink at least a couple of litres of water every day. Maybe I need to drink even more than my usual amounts when travelling!

TwistedSassette · February 2020

@designerdiscounts I had to Google what pickleball is

It looks like such fun!

CamandJarvis · February 2020

Y'all...

Y'all...

They're offering me the position! Its $5k/yr more than I make now. Pension begins a year after starting (which is fine because I'll just contribute to my Roth. I stopped my roth contributions when I started doing the 401k here).
Med, dental, and vision are immediate. They're sending me benefits packet information via email. I'll look through that and see about vacation/sick/etc time. They also have an annual bonus (pays out in June so I will not be eligible this year, but will be next year!). Small percentage of our salary but a bonus is a bonus!

OH MY GOODNESS I CANNOT STOP SHAKING. Boss is here today so must keep calm. Not telling BF about it until I accept and begin the process. Will update more later but I had to tell you all!

TwistedSassette · February 2020

My motto for this round! It really is mind over matter.

GOALS THIS ROUND
- RGW 133.5kg
- Track calories 7/10 days
- Minimum of 15 mins activity per day
R104 SW 134.2kg

Day | Weight | Change | Comment

02/07 | 134.2kg | No change | Ugh, go away, water weight! 30 mins of activity yesterday, feeling it a bit today from the strength training. Bodyweight exercises are no joke when you're this heavy!

02/08 | 134.1kg | -0.1kg | Maybe it's not water weight after all...feeling sluggish and just yuck. Still plugging away though, getting my steps and minutes in, hoping to see some improvements soon. I know it's not all about the number on the scale and I am feeling a little less jiggly so I guess I'll take that as a NSV!

02/09 | 133.6kg | -0.5kg | Whoosh! Finally! I knew it was water weight! Feeling much less bloated & sluggish this morning. I will admit this was a later weigh-in than normal but not super late.

02/10 | 133.8kg | +0.2kg | Back to my normal weigh-in time so I'm happy with this, for now.

02/11 | 134.1kg | +0.3kg | Spent the day doing a road trip to a nearby city to get the plans drawn up for our new kitchen. Unfortunately this meant about 7 hours on the road and sub-standard choices for food & drinks. Plus I always retain water when I travel, I'm not sure why that is but my feet in particular are always puffy AF the next day! Back into normal routine today and I hope to see the scale drop back down.

02/12 | 134.3kg | +0.2kg | I was hoping this uptick would be gone today, but I think a very late dinner (after 10pm!) has brought that hope unstuck. I got home from work around 4:15pm to find that my little one was still having his nap (he's usually asleep from about 1-3pm but he didn't go to sleep until about 2:30pm as he's teething) so that kind of threw out our whole evening schedule. Then hubby had a three-hour nap from about 6pm so I was left with both feeding/bathing/bedding the baby as well as preparing our dinner. I decided to get some exercise in between as well so I don't feel too badly about the late dinner - but definitely aiming for a normal dinnertime tonight!

R 101 184-> 184
R102 184->184.5
R103 184.5->181.9
Current Goal: BMI<30 or 164 pounds
Round 104 10-day Goal: 180
Date/Weight/Comment
2/7/20 181.2 Lunch out-order lower carb food and use my hunger cues to know when to stop eating. Drink water. Short gym workout.

2/8/20 182.3 This is the result of restaurant food. Water content went up 1%, normally stable.

2/10/2020 182.8 Ran-30, arms-15, swim-30

2/11/2020 181.7 I increased my breakfast to oatmeal. With more intense workouts I need more calories in the morning. plank 35s. Analysis shows that my Cuban restaurant lunch increased my weight by three pounds, two of which were water. It took about three days to get back to where I was. I ordered a steak burrito and I was very hungry so I ate all of it. Next time I go out to lunch I will eat a salad before I go and try to only eat half.

2/12/2020 Garden Club- I'll have my overnight oats and a piece of fruit for a late breakfast, so I will not be tempted at the club meeting. I'll have a small plate with nuts, fruit and cheese to be social.

2/13/20 I'll only have a small breakfast today because I have two eating engagements today (coffee, collagen, cream and fruit, about 200 calories). I have a lunch presentation. I'll only eat the protein and vegetables and I will bring an apple and nuts to eat in the car, if necessary. Book Club Dinner- 1) limit wine to two glasses, 2) choose one carb to eat with dinner, 3) have a small serving of dessert. This may set me back, but it is one of the really good parts of my life and the food is all homemade and top quality.

2/14/2020
2/15/2020
2/16/2020

Goals: 1) bed at 10pm, 2) eat 50% vegetables at lunch, 3) bring a healthy snack when out, 4) eat on plan, 5) exercise 500 cal/day.

I will not be able to weigh again until Feb 21 or 22. So I'm going to focus on habits. Hopefully everyone will be ok with me reporting on habit achievement instead of weight.

Here's the way I plan to "game" this. Points for different habits while on my trip, structured to reward behaviors that I know are challenging when I travel

Tracking: 1 for tracking + 1 if complete by bed + 1 for each meal tracked before eating next meal (3 max/day) + 2 for pre-tracking at least one meal+1 for under maintenance calories + 1 for under 1500 calories—Max of 9 points/day
Exercise: 1 for walking >30 min + 1 for walking >60 min + 1 for yoga stretches + 2 if I ran that day--or the day prior! (to incentivize keeping to a run every other day schedule) + 2 for strength training (incentive since I often skip)--Max of 7 points/day
Journal: 2 for journaling + 1 if I journaled the day before (incentivize keeping up a streak)--Max of 3/day
Sleep: 1 if lights out-to-alarm on is >7 hours + 1 if >7.5 hours + 2 if >8 hours, +2 if > 8.5 hours. Max of 6/day

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07: 202.0–happy with another small loss!
02/08: 202.4–ugh! Starting my trip up not down! But not surprised. Body felt heavy, sluggish at the end of the day. Ate in the green, exercised well. DH likes to use a lot of garlic salt in cooking, though, that may be it.

Woohoo! That is fantastic! TX Job? So exciting! Shake away! It burns calories 😂😂 congrats!!! 🎉💰💪🏼

TerriRichardson112 · February 2020

Looking forward:

February: I need to focus on getting back to where I was pre-Christmas
2020: Goal is to stabilise weight around 145
Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
Cut down on eating between meals

Never give up! Never give in!
Back Story:

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!

@CamandJarvis - Congratulations on the job offer!

CamandJarvis · February 2020

Bombarding with updates:

Benefits look amazing, better than what I have now. I asked about pay schedule, pay range (is it a set salary since they go by grades, or is there room for change), further explanation on incentive bonuses (for something I already planned on doing!), and about vacation/sick leave.

I think I'm already sold on it, just want to get details out of the way. My mom doesn't seem to be against it like the last one. She said everything sounds really good if that's where I really want to be. Squee!! Now the heartbreak of informing my boss ): I like him, he's a great guy. And I do love my current job, its just not in the right location for me.

MSWDiet · February 2020

This round I'm going to drop as much fat as possible; get my cardio back on track; and continue to redefine this diet for life. There are jeans I'm determined to get back into in the next couple of weeks. 🙂

Arrrgh, I posted then hit done instead of post 😡.
Condensed version: Carbs high but within tolerance. Macros & calories are good and protein is up. Rolling months calorie average is trending lower than I'd like.
Lots of salty food since Thurs has me on water overload so no proper weigh in. Waking morning weight provides better data than evenings with extra liquids on board. Until this big thirsty response passes I'll do a morning weight check.
I've only skimmed everyone's posts lately. Things are still backwards and upside down. I 🤗 appreciate all of you & thanks for the support.

Holding steady at my usual evening with in
-no gain (blessings)
-no loss (not complaining just counting my blessings)
Carbs are way too high because I went for what's easy instead of what's right. Protein, fat & calories are all on track.
I'm lagging behind on exercise. The next few days will require extra effort to catch up and get myself off carbs. Stagnant is not progress particularly because I'm fixing my mistakes.

I had to take off my jewelry for the scale to move. Thankfully I'm holding okay despite my well earned carb bloating.
Today I'm restricting meals to16 fasted/ 8 fed hours and working on protein based meals. Cardio might not happen but I'll do what I can. This week is already exhausting!

This week is doing me in but I'm determined to keep weight loss going. I've had excellent carb control yesterday & today despite a shorter fast than I prefer. Time restricted eating has turned out to be the easiest form of appetite control I've experienced.
When my fasting hours are done I focus on my protein and managing my net carbs. Calories fall into place leaving me room to enjoy a high cal day once in awhile with no harm. Now if the rest of my universe would fall into place I'd be ever so grateful. 🙏🏽

02/11:241. If I'm being honest, it is just one or two bad decisions per day that is keeping me stuck. A few years ago, I lost over 100lbs in 9 months, yet I can't seem to stick with even a small deficit for more than a few days at this point. Kind of frustrating. I'm killing the exercise part, but the diet is a struggle. Just have to get the right mindset though.

Day/Weight/Comment:
02/07: 201.5 (+0.5); Thursday info: 4548 steps, 4 of 12, 5hr44m (74); Thursday was another long day of work and then dinner out with friends. I was tied to my desk and did not exercise after I got home from dinner. I saved a decent # of calories for dinner but we had sushi and I ate all the edamame. That was A LOT of sodium. I never know how to log sushi so I just gave up. Made sure NOT to eat anything extra before bed.

02/08: 202.5 (+1.0); Friday info: 4359 steps, 6 of 12; 5hr23m (73); Friday was a short day at work. I skipped family dinner and sort of went off the rails at home. “Shark Week” is due to begin soon and I’ve been craving salt, salt, and more salt. Not getting my water in at home either. ******I know this is just a small hiccup and I will get past it. Even as my weigh-in’s remind me of a heartbeat (up, down, up, down), I am still on a downward trend. Instead of focusing on the # on the scale, I will keep trying to move and log. The scale will work itself out as I go.

02/09: 202.5 (0) Saturday info: 9520 steps, 6 of 12, 7hr18m (81); Saturday was barn day! While we had snow flying, I did make the 125 drive to the barn to ride with friends. I was able to ride 2 this weekend for about 60m of activity. Then I made the 125 trek back home, with more snow flying. I got Wendy’s (apple bites/grilled chicken) for lunch and grabbed Subway (oven roasted chicken breast with tons of veggies & Cheetos) for dinner but I got a footlong instead of a 6inch. Then I seemed to just snack mindlessly the rest of the night after getting some bad news about my DA. So it was an 80/20 day for me with lots of steps and calorie burn. (4hr28m fat burn, 7m cardio, 2m peak for a total of 4hr47m & 1149 calories burned)

02/10: 202.3 (-0.2); Sunday info: 1836 steps, 3 of 12, 11hr11m (78); Sunday was a bad day. My DA passed away around 6am after being taken off life support the day before. Apparently, she had been hiding how bad she was from everyone, including her only child. ((My best friend’s Grandmother had passed away early Saturday morning after her 2nd stroke in about 10 days.)) I was just emotionally exhausted. I had no desire to really do much of anything. Mom and I just waited for info to come in and tried to update family in KY. ((I was worried about who was going to be #3, as we all know death comes in 3’s.))

02/11: DNW; Monday info: 2195 steps, 3 of 12, 6hr13m (80); Monday was even worse. I woke up with a migraine and just could NOT adult so I stayed home from work. I laid in bed until I couldn’t stand it anymore. My mom and I were just zombies all day. Mindless eating. Then we got a call that my grandmother’s friend passed away (she had also had a stroke) so, that was 3 in 3 days. So very heart breaking. I was feeding my sadness all day long. **Again, this is just life and it happens so I will keep on keeping on and work harder to get myself back on track.

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!
