    5/24 117.5 I’m eating within my macros and I guess my body has decided to lose a bit more. I was curious to see if this would happen with so many 118.0 and 118.5 reading in the last few weeks.

    @quiltingjaine , I know you’ve posted before, but what are your macros?

    5’4.5”, 32 years old, female
    Highest weight: 275 (12/25/2019)
    2020 Goal Weight: 250
    Ultimate goal weight: 150

    5/21: 269.4 ~ Evening weigh in, in an effort to just start doing the things I want to do, rather than continuously procrastinate on everything!

    5/22: 267.4 ~ It is always fun to see the scale drop 2 pounds overnight, even though I know it’s just because I weighed myself at 11pm, hehe.

    5/23: 268.0 ~ I had a beer last night. It fit my calories, but I am not surprised by some water retention. I almost never drink.

    5/24: 268.4 ~ High calorie day yesterday. The increase on the scale was smaller than expected, so I am happy! Aiming to drink plenty of water and eat in range today.

    5/25: 267.8 ~ Back on track!

    5/26: 267.4 ~ I need more days like yesterday! Everything just went so smoothly!

    @jaccimc63 - I really sympathise if you have gall bladder/stone pain. I suffered for 10 years, for the majority of the time I controlled it with a very very low fat diet, but occasionally when I indulged - gosh the pain, the worst I've ever experianced in my life. Eventually the diet stopped controlling it and flare ups started to happen every 10-25 days for no reason whatsoever, there was no choice but to have the operation. It was keyhole day surgery and I have to say that compared to the flare ups, it was a walk in the park. I've never looked back since!! There are still some foods that I avoid, sausages, burgers, chip shop cooked food, but it's all about association with the pain, I just can't bring myself to eat those foods which even in small quantities would definately have start a flare up pre-operation!!
    I hope that you get sorted soon, that pain is the worst ever!! Hugs to you !!

    @eyesopennow - get yourself some blister plasters and apply them at the first sign of discomfort to your feet/toes, they should stop the blisters developing. I always carry them x.

    @cpanus - I know how you feel, I am finding it hard to keep motivated during these exceptionally challenging times. I just want to be eating/grazing all the time, then I'm too full to eat my proper meals!!? I think like anyone of us, it's crucial to be in the right frame of mind, for me a particularly high scale reading suddenly pushes my mind into that place?
    I hope you find your mind set again, you've been doing so well to date, I'm sure you don't want to jeopardise the hard work you've already put in. Keep strong my friend, but even more so keep safe and well. Hugs to you xx

    Thank you, @musicsax. Everything you said is what's been happening at my house. I'm working on it.

    I'm in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!

    70 year 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... :D...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. Then I had hip surgery March 10th. Recovery is slow. Sure do want to be back walking!

    The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

    5/17 155.0 lbs -1.0 lbs 1,727 way over by 427 Calories, 31 Carbs, 13 Net Carbs, No Exercise today. Sat and watched it Rain & Rain, and I ate & ate! We now have ponds in our corn and bean fields. Will have to replant. Eating more fiber is working but I’m sure my weight will go up tomorrow.

    5/18 155.2 +0.2. 1,235 Calories, 29 Carbs, 15 Net Carbs and 11,599 steps. Took 3 different walks today and my husband has been walking with me in the evening.

    5/22 154.6 lbs. 1,726 Calories, 81 Carbs, 50 Net Carbs, 12,243 steps. Walked and did a lot of yard work. I definitely over ate, everything over my goal. 😕

    5/23 155.2 lbs ⬆️ 0.6 1,037 Calories, 47 Carbs, 32 Net Carbs, and 10,361 steps Beautiful day 🌞🌞 took the pool cover off. To bad the pool is green. Lots of work ahead of me. Hopefully by next weekend I’ll have it clean. Grandkids are already asking🤗

    5/24 154.4 -.8 ⬇️ 1,367 Calories, 40 Carbs, 21 Net Carbs and 5,561 steps. Posting yesterday totals I was very busy working on the pool. It’s GREEN!! 🤮. This is going to take me a lot of work!! No walking

    5/25 154.4 ➡️ 1,173 Calories, 52 Carbs, 27 Net Carbs and 10,710 steps. 🌞It was a beautiful Memorial Day! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

    5/26 154.0 lbs ⬇️ -.4 1,025 Calories, 30 Carbs, 14 Net Carbs and 11,391 steps. Doing better the last few days. I’ve been able to keep my Hunger in check. My snacks have been low card seed bread with almond butter or chia seed pudding. I think that is helping me stay on track. I enjoy reading everyone’s post the ups and downs. They help keep me motivated and also let me know I’m not alone on the Journey. Ended round 114 ⬇️ 2 pounds and I happy with that!!🤗

    Day/Weight/Comment
    05/16 …..204.3….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

    05/17 …..204.3 …..

    05/18 …..204.2 …..

    05/19 …..204.6 …..

    05/20 …..204.3 …..

    05/21 …..204.3 …..

    05/22 …..204.8 …..

    05/23 …..204.5 …..

    05/24 …..205.7 ….. I logged until I went off the rails. I was not crazy, but I was excessive. I did not plan my day well. I am going to try to do better today. Disappointed in self.

    05/25 …..205.3 ….. TMI this morning was my saving grace. Yesterday was a good day but last night in bed was another story. I couldn’t overcome the hunger easily no matter what I tried. A hard-working day planned for today. I’ve got to save enough strength to cook up my veggies before they go bad and freeze some nice low carb dinners. However, if one could see what was on my agenda today, they would laugh at me for even thinking I could fit it in. I’ve got to figure this out and today, somewhere in the mix, I’ve got to choose me. I’m happy for the drop on the scale and will try to run with it.

    05/26 …..205.0 …..

    05/23: 154.8 - Lots of walking (9.71 miles). Finished off some chocolate covered almonds and dried mango gifted to me on Friday, which is better than it has been. Solid hydration.

    05/24: 153.8 - Yay, a day without sugar! Ate a whole rib eye though. It's like I could feel my arteries hardening. But no sugar! Progress not perfection, right? Fitbit says 16,278 steps (7.25 miles)

    05/25: 155 - Wrong direction. A little sugar disguised as a spoonful of jam. Ate well, but simply too much. It's all just so much easier when it's sunny. Fitbit reports 7,978 steps (3.48 miles). Back to my desk in the morning.

    05/26: 153.4 - Ate well. Will drink more tomorrow. Long day but got in a walk. It's easier when the weather's nice. Fitbit says 11,220 steps (4.85 miles)

    My apologies for the super long post!

    @SheilaBoneham for keto you want 5%carb/20%protein/75%fat. With protein the MAIN GOAL, carbs a
    LIMIT, and fat to provide longer lasting satisfaction. I have eased up to a more lazy or dirty keto. Senza has a macro calculator which will adjust your macros as you lose unless you enter a custom value as I have for protein. I know I have a low carb limit - I was diagnosed with insulin resistance back in the late 80’s or early 90’s. I was put on a diet which was almost no carb, lived to tell the tale and lost a bunch of weight until I switched back to eating the crap that made me fat to begin with. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️Now I check my blood for ketones and glucose every morning. I buy those supplies from Best Ketone Test - excellent customer service!

    #norniron #stayingsafe@home

    Looking forward:
    I'm just too danged cussed to let this thing knock me back, and ruin all the effort I have put in to get here. I am stepping up my routine, and taking control. Sheltering in place means I can fully concentrate on getting in my exercise, and preparing healthy food.
    • May: focus on maintaining and increasing my progress
    • 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 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
    2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
    2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ So far, so good.
    That's a WIN in my book!

    2020
    Focus: 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!
