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. Quilting Jaine 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!

02/12 …..194.6 ….. A little better but still over calories. Tweaking but without much faith. Walked at the school yesterday during DGS #1 tutoring. Walked 83 minutes burning 516 extra calories. I burned 2746 Calories total for the day which is more than I ate I walked 7.3 Miles total for the day which was 17,243 Total Steps. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 25 minutes but woke up refreshed. I am still not getting in my water. Staying busy and not thinking of it like I should. I’m a mess really but I’m going to see this through.

@eyesopennow - Oh dear, what a worry! Hope they manage to sort your wife out soon, you are both in my thoughts.

P.S. she hasn't overdosed on bananas has she? That banana diet is really dangerous!

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.
02/12 – 164.8 – So happy to see this. Made tuna quiche yesterday because my husband, who won’t eat it, was away and I love it. Thought I was way over calories but stuck to my determination to log and found out that I was ok – that kept me from giving up and eating random stuff. It helped that breakfast was a bit lighter and there was no cheese in the quiche. Also, with the invisible GERD on my mind, I was careful to stick with the IF. Off to the gym today and then careful grocery shopping – no bad treats, if they come in my house I Will eat them.

@kmfeig87
I am impressed you could pull it together and get it done! Sounds stressful. I am claustriphobic so that would stress me out too. 💪

@CamandJarvis
So cute! Love the bluebonnets! They look great when they bloom but get very bedgraggled once it heats up but that's when they burst their seed pods and spread the beauty for next year! Find time to take some of the iconic drives around the hill country - you can google some great routes, stop for barbecue and take lots of pics. We usually end up in Fredericksburg. I hope they are good this year....just now getting some good rain.🌼

@bearly63 funny enough, Fredericksburg is where BF and all my friends live!

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.

02/12: 127.4 lbs. Great workout this morning followed by 1 hour of pickleball. Hit my protein macro yesterday and am on track to do it again today. Looked at dresses, found one I love but it's pricey. Going to see if I can find it cheaper somewhere. I'm down at least one dress size from November, maybe 2 dress sizes. The 4 and the 6 both fit, the 4 was a little snug in the waist, the 6 was a little loose in the shoulders. Probably go with a 6 and just bring in the shoulders. Way easier than being uncomfortable in the waist. But then, if I lose a little more (which I'm open to), the 4 might be a better choice. Hmmmm. The event is actually in 2 weeks.

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!

02/13 | DNW | Somehow completely slipped my mind to jump on the scale before my shower this morning! Had a bit of a lazy day yesterday, so going to try to get back on track today.

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 Woohoo! Congrats! Does BF know you might be moving?

Yes, I told him right after I called to accept the offer. He and my friends I've talked to thus far are all super excited! I thought my BF was going to lose it for a second hahaha I didn't tell him immediately because I knew he'd want me to accept right away without getting answers to my questions so I waited until I accepted to share. I needed to make an educated decision without the pressure!

The vacation isn't quite as good as it is here, but the carryover from year to year is double! Everything else seems almost too good to be true (though I know it isn't). Even my parents are 100% on board. In about 3-6 weeks I will start. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get the information for background check and drug testing (luckily they use a place that is nationwide so I don't have to travel just to pee in a cup!) and once those come back, we will discuss start dates (: They're super flexible since they know I'm moving from out of state so hopefully we can work something simple out that also works for BF to drive his truck up here to tow a trailer for me. I'm getting jitters now -- I'm a bit scared but I know that's just nerves of starting something new. I think this will be a wonderful move forward, despite my jitters and nervousness.

02/12 168.0 lbs, 971 Calories, 22 Carbs, 15 Net Carbs, and 7916 steps. Low on calories today mostly because I had more veggies. I felt there was no need to eat fat just to get the calories up. Macros were good.

@jamfullhouse @Suezq72760 My Mom has a full size ping pong table and we have to tag team to get her quilts sandwiched. (Even the baby quilts.) Getting the layers flat without wrinkles is the hardest.

@SarahG626 You've had a rough week. Sending you hugs and wishing you, your friends, and family peace in this hard time.

Thanks everyone for the thoughts and prayers. I made it through radiation today. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't nearly as bad. I think it still took about 25 minutes (it seemed long). My arms and shoulders immediately started screaming and my neck decided to join in. I think it was stress and fear that it was going to go poorly. Getting myself psyched up for tomorrow. I'll also practice lying in that position. I've been doing stretches all day, too!

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 104 (26 for me)
The 2020 leg of this journey got off to a slow start. Finally saw a loss in the last round after two rounds of gains. Patience and perspective: If I lose an average of two pounds per month, I can reach my goal weight by the end of the year. Just got to keep on keepin’ on.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 – 171.4 – Busy day, with a great gym session. Had company over for drinks and dinner. Eyeballed my portions and didn’t log, but I didn’t overdo it and only had one cocktail.
02/08 – 171.0 – Back down a bit to start the day, but dinner out put me over my calorie budget for the day. A bit sore from yesterday’s gym session, but today was a rest day. Hope to get out to walk tomorrow.
02/09 – 172.0 – Up today, but not surprised. Didn’t make it out to walk, but I got a lot of work done online this morning. Made Korean short ribs with lots of salty sides, I’ll probably see another sodium spike tomorrow, but the meal made my husband very happy, so it was totally worth it. Didn’t bother to log, but I’ll be back on track tomorrow.
02/11 – 172.0 – All goals met. (Forgot to post.)
02/12 – 170.6 – Nice to be back down. Rainy day, so I walked the indoor track for an hour between classes. Met my calorie and hydration goals. Chores tomorrow.
02/13 – 170.6 – Finally made it to the morning Pilates class. I definitely need to work on my flexibility!

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 104 (round 36 for me ) I'm in for another round – keep plugging on! Thank you GrandmaJackie.

Female age 61 5' 4”

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !

This round goal to just lose - aim to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking & refrain from attacking the cookie jar and left over Christmas chocolates – plan is to put them in DH lunch box each day 'til they're gone!! - there are still residual bits hanging around hubby will have finished them by end of this week!

Day/Weight/Comment

02/07 135.2 – Only 3.14 miles walked, one reason for the increase & I did over indulge yesterday. Today Is a new day!
02/08 135.8 – sigh !! 9.66 miles walked yesterday. Calories exceeded by 306 – I hit the chocolate, must leave it alone!!
02/09 DNW – away from home helping our DD & SIL move house, DD had been readmitted to hospital following contracting an infection (sepsis) after giving birth to our delightful new grandson 2 weeks ago. Luckily, she reported her raised temperature to her midwife after 24 hours and so taken back into hospital, administered IV antibiotics until the sample of her blood was used to culture the bacteria to enable the lab to produce a personally tailored cocktail of antibiotics for her. She was again discharged yesterday and the spring in her step is returning. Thank goodness it was caught early. So she was encouraged to keep her feet up whilst the rest of us did the work!! We stayed in a local Travelodge, so no weigh in this am.
02/10 135.8 – only 1.94 miles walked yesterday . Need to get back at it today.
02/11 135.4 – 9.58 miles walked yesterday, a good day ; 887 calories under & all macros in green. It makes so much difference when I get my walking in !
02/12 135.4 – 10.06 miles walked yesterday, 592 calories in credit and all other macros in green.
02/13 135 – 8.52 miles walked – lunch out with 3DS, & stayed within calories helped by light evening meal,361 calories in credit, fat 12 over, all other macros in green.

Ready for round 104 {41st for me}
OSW 88KG
RSW 59.90 kg (-28.1 kg) or {- 62 lbs}
Goal....stay under 60kg...a month of maintenance.

02/07 58.85kg much more where I want to be. Need to keep low calories to save some for tasting a variety of international dishes on Sat
02/08 58.35kg a new low which is ironic as I decided this was to be a month of maintenance! I have an international food event tonight which I will keep keto but not worry about calories.
02/09 59.5kg I caved and ate carbs... The bloat is real
02/10 60kg and hoping that's the end of the carb bloat.
02/11 60.05kg all green yesterday so this should start going down soon. Gym done
02/12 58.95kg wasn't hungry last night so I didn't have dinner. Gym done and ready for the rest of the day!

02/13 59.25kg which is fine... Still under 60kg which is all I need this month.

Goals
1 - Track my calories daily
2 - Gym x2 week
3 - Water 1.5l

This round I'd like to start getting back on track with exercise. I'm still getting these weird migraines which don't seem to be alleviating so I'll have to get used to some form of exercise with them.

02/06 - 149.2 round start weight
02/07 - 150.8 (+1.4) 1200 cal, 4.424 steps, I was expecting this after a late dinner even though I was just at my calorie limit. . Unfortunately, I didn't get my steps in as I was in my car most of the day. I've changed my goal for this round to get under 150.x which seems more realistic. For the weekend this time I've also planned a lot of activities to get me out of the house and away from the fridge
02/08 150.8
02/09 150.8
02/10 150.8
02/11 150.8 Still no change weight wise which is not so bad considering my weekend, my daughter has the flu so the last few days have been a bit hectic. I did squeeze in an hour at the gym on Sunday and I tried a YouTube kettle bell workout yesterday (so much harder than it looks!!).
02/12 150.8 (0.0) 1189 cal, 4576 steps. still status quo, who knows, on track for the food and calorie intake, water was good but not enough steps as driving everywhere to save on time and get everything done between juggling work and sick kid. I haven't had a good night for 4 nights in a run and I'm starting to feel it, I'm doing my best to resist the sweets and processed carbs

02/13 150.0 (-0.8) 1156 cal 8782 steps, water ok. Happy to see some loss there, I was very careful to stay on track yesterday. My daughter is getting better at last and luckily the flu vaccine I had apparently worked for me.
