Goal weight for this round: 119 to 120 range
05/27 121.2 We went for a nice 4 mile walk in the woods this morning and I did a few minutes of planks before the walk while I was waiting for my husband and father in law to be ready. I’m thinking about doing some jump rope later too. Food was good yesterday and I’m happy I didn’t go up due to water weight because we had a kind of salty dinner last night. So, I was pleasantly surprised about that. 😊 It’s going to be another 80’s day today and I’m so happy about it! It’s only our second one of the season and I love the warm weather so much! The armer weather also helps me want to eat lighter too, so it’s a win all around.
I’m thinking about making pesto chicken and pasta for dinner tonight. I love basil, so I’m really looking forward to it!
05/28 121.4 This is interesting and one of the reasons I loved the idea of this challenge. It allows me to see how my weight fluctuates throughout my cycle. In the next couple of rounds I’ll have a solid length of daily weights to see the ups and downs over the course of time. I feel good but definitely feel a little more puffy today. The body is so interesting that way… Maybe frustrating at times too. Food and exercise were really on point yesterday too. Started my morning today with a pleasant 5 mile walk with my my father in law and did a mini body weight workout prior to the walk by myself. I’m excited to try some the apple oat bread I made last night for breakfast this morning. I added some extra fiber to it too, so it will be even more filling for me. For 1/6 of the recipe it is only 225 calories and has 11 grams of fiber and 5.9 g protein. I’ll be having some cottage cheese or yogurt with it too to up the protein for my first meal.
Here’s the link if anyone is interested: https://thebakermama.com/recipes/healthy-flourless-fresh-apple-bread/
- I modified it by using 80 grams of dates instead of honey/maple syrup and added 40 grams of inulin powder (fiber) to it as well. Then, I baked it in 6 mini loaf pans for about 30 minutes I think it was.
05/29 122.2 This water fluctuation is pretty fun… Oh well, such is life. It was a solid day for food and I got in an awesome workout this morning doing soccer/running drills at the fields near my house. It was fun to mix it up instead of walking. My heart was happy it got a really workout. My father in law used to coach soccer for years and gets bored easily so the workout had a lot of variety to it. I hope everyone has a happy Friday!
05/30 122.2
05/31 122.2 Inching closer to TOM. This blip up over the past few days is definitely due to that. Yesterday was a really good day. I started it with some gardening, then moved on to sitting outside with my husband for a bit while eating my apple bread for breakfast. Then around 12ish I did a solid strength and cardio workout. Worked on my chin ups a bit. I’m at like 1.2 full chin up, I did a total of like 3 and half by the end of my workout. Goal for summer is to do 10 in a row by the end of the summer. Finished up the strength workout with around 20 minutes of jump roping.
After that I made homemade pasta with my mother in law as part of her Mother’s Day gift (we got her a pasta maker). So, we had a nice family dinner of homemade pasta with handmade meatballs and red sauce. Surprisingly this dinner didn’t kill my calories for day either. If I entered everything right, I even stayed within my goal for the day.
Today my husband and I went for a light walk this morning. Other than that, today will be a rest day (Friday and Saturday’s workout was pretty demanding on my body I think). Just feeling kind of spacey & fatigued like I usually do a couple days before my “friend” arrives. Have a beaustiful rest of your Sunday every one!
06/01 121.0 I’ll take the whoosh 😊. Yesterday was a really nice rest day and my hisband even made dinner. It was chicken with peppers, onion, carrot and a touch of parsnips (trying to use up the parsnips but won’t be adding them to a dish like this in future) in a Trinidad curry spice mix with coconut milk and brown rice on the side. It was so good! (Plus there are leftovers for tonight!) He’s the curry and Asian food chef in the house and has a really good instinct with it. He’s great at making Indian curries, Thai dishes and whatever else he concocts. I love to cook too but it’s more American and European style dishes. So, it’s a good balance for us.
We did another great soccer drill workout this morning and torched another 400 calories between sprints, hills, and all sorts of good things. Have a beautiful day everyone!
06/02 120.4 We went for a nice 4ish mile walk this morning. It’s nice to switch up the workouts. I think we decided to run the fields on Mon, Wed, and Fri. Then we’ll walk on Tuesdays and Thursdays to give our bodies a bit of a break.
Today is a day filled with food coming in the house, we’re getting a delivery of groceries and I’ll be picking up my June meat CSA. It’ll be fun to see what cuts of meat we get this month! On the menu for dinner tonight is a drunken shitake mushroom and ground turkey dish. It’ll be a spin off from the Thai Drunken Noodle dish. It’ll be a kind of salty dinner, so we’ll see if I retain any water from it. Oh well, the taste will be worth it!
06/03 119.8 I’m feeling good today, we did another field/soccer workout this morning. It was fun to mix it up and use the soccer ball with some of the drills. It was a little slower paced today but it felt pretty good because I was kind of tired at the same time.
I have some skyrr, home made granola, and fruit planned for breakfast today and really looking forward to it! Yesterday, I made myself a tzatziki salad of sorts with the skyrr for my afternoon snack and it was so good! I used the skyrr, everything but the bagel seasoning, an onion/garlic powder mix, and dried dill. It was so yummy! I can’t wait to get more veggies and salad greens because that sauce will be sooo good with more crunchy vegetables!
Not sure what’s on the agenda for dinner tonight but our meat CSA items were cool that we got. Some interesting ones were a 1lb package of ground beef with ground bacon mixed into it and then a garlic turkey sausage without the casing. I bet the turkey sausage would be good in a Bolognese style sauce. The bacon burger meat will be yummy on the grill! Oh how I love cooking! 😊
Have a happy hump day everyone!
06/04 119.8 Woo another day at this weight. 😊 We went for another good walk today of 4.75 miles. I have some bbq chicken pizza on the menu tonight because my mother in law had a lot of pizza dough that had to get used up. So, pizza it is! Food was on point yesterday and I felt very satisfied.
Currently have a zoom meeting I have to get to, so I’m off. Have a good day all!
06/05 119.8 for my win! I’m so happy that number stayed around for three days I in a row. 😊 I got a good night sleep last night and woke up energized, so I did a pretty sweet body weight and cardio workout in my yard this morning including lunges, push-ups, squats, jump rope and 8ish minutes of running at the end to make it an even 500 calorie burn. Solid start to the day. Not sure what we’re having for dinner tonight, maybe something easy? I hope everyone has an awesome Friday!

@jaccimc63 I have been meaning to tell you that I was flabbergasted when I saw your recent before & after pic. I could barely recognize you! You've come such a long long way with both the weight and the smoking cessation. I am so very proud of you & your accomplishments!

Day/Weight/Comment
05/26 …..205.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
05/27 …..205.0 ….. No change. Today is going well (so far). Good luck everyone this round! I look forward to the (much needed) inspiration!
05/28 …..204.8 ….. Thankfully down a little. I went for the bloodwork on Tuesday and today I go back to see my doctor. Boy, am I ever scared! No, it has nothing to do with corona, temperature checks or masks. It has to do with my weight gain! I haven’t seen her since early fall and I am much fatter now. I am in big trouble!!!! Stay tuned….
05/29 …..204.7 …..
05/30 …..208.0 ….. Can you tell I had an unexpected trip out of town for business/building supplies? I didn't even get to post my weight yesterday. Posting today for both days. I arrived home last night. Way too many of both carbs and calories from the restaurant and travels which is clearly reflected on the scale. I am hoping some of this is water weight. We shall see. My Dr. Appointment on Thursday went as expected. Glucose too high, too much weight gain since fall and I have to take extra diabetic meds until weight goes back down. Stress eating has got to stop. I must get as many projects done as possible in June so I can get back out there walking and hiking for longer periods of time! I also miss walking at the school since it closed during the winter. More travel on Monday to go out of town for my 6 month comparison CT scan on my lungs (hopefully no breast cancer metastasized) and for more building supplies. I am going to try to make a positive impact on my weight all weekend.
05/31 …...206.8 ….. It never whooshes down quite as fast as it whooshes up, but I’ll take anything I can get! A busy workday today then more travel tomorrow. Today has GOT TO BE ON POINT!
06/01 …..206.8 ….. Travel again today. Today I get my CT scan to compare to 6 months ago when they found an “anomolly” on my lung. We are hoping it is not metastasized breast cancer. I have been in remission for a few years now. What they found on the lung last fall was new so there is that worry. I will also be picking up more remodeling supplies while near a big box hardware store. I will try to be a little more mindful than last time I travelled, but a restaurant will be part of the trip as it is going to be an all-day event and a long way away. Let’s hope I make decent choices while enjoying the city after my test. I won’t get results of the test until a telehealth appointment on June 10th.
06/02 …..208.2 ….. Had pizza during the travels. I didn’t eat the crust but it is still carb heavy. I will push water today and hope that what I saw this morning is all of it. Blazing HOT here today and no air conditioning. Miserable. A lot to do since I was gone yesterday. The first part of the month is always tough with a lot of bill paying etc. Getting back to it! Have a wonderful day everyone!
06/03 …..208.8 ….. Day before yesterday still showing up on the scale. Too much paperwork and sitting yesterday. Otherwise, the diet was pretty good. Another tremendously busy day today and tomorrow. I would love time to prep cook but I don’t know if I will fit it in. I have things I’ve prepped in the freezer that I will rely upon today.
06/04 …..211.2 ….. A death in the family last night. Some would say it was somewhat expected but it doesn’t feel that way too me. More stress eating. NO, let’s clarify-binge eating was more like it. It started with a fast severe glucose drop (probably from the stress) and ended in an all night frenzy. I wish I was a better sleeper, the binge would have been shorter. Last night I slept 3 hours & 1 minute. That is about 60-75 minutes shy of my normal 4 hours of sleep. Today I am choosing me. I have a stressful and work-filled day ahead but I am going to come first (for once).
06/05 …..209.2 ….. a whoosh down by 2 pounds but a horrible gain for the round. Getting back on track is always hard, especially with bumps, (hills) (mountains) in the way and problems (hurdles) to face. Under 200 pounds, here I come! And I won’t stop there! I just want to say thanks for everyone’s patience with my journey. The struggle is real! Sometimes I am quite strong, but I’ve been weak for awhile now. I’ve got to get my mojo back and I know all of you will help me. Thanks for that. Nice round Everyone! I’m impressed and hopeful as I watch the journeys you gracefully and generously share.

05/27 - 152.3 - 20 rounds in for me now in this challenge, I have lost 5 pounds over the 200 days. Lots of time and hard work for small results, but always happy to be trending down. I know that I could very easily put that 200 days of loss back on in one weekend. It would suck to have to spend another 200 days to get rid of one weekend of eating yummy stuff.
05/28 - 153.2 - Had some yummy stuff, keeping it to one meal, once in awhile.
05/29 - 152.6 - Hoping to see the 151s this round
05/30 - 151.4 - I slept in today, so this number could be a little skewed, but I will take it! New low.
05/31 - 152.7 - I am okay with that, 5 more days to work on lowering it.
06/01 - 151.7 - Another sleep in day. Hope to see the 151.4 tomorrow.
06/02 - 150.7 - Yet another sleep in day - Yay, new low
06/03 - 150.7 - Great. Maybe into the 140s by sometime next round.
06/04 - 150.6 - Right direction, even if small, all good.
06/05 - 151.3 - No caloric reasons for the gain, possibly just stress from going back to work gain. Better than the start of the round weight, so happy with progress.7 -
Goals for the round -- End the round under 230; continue to log food and post every day; focus n snacking control at night. Also, continue to log steps -- I decided on May 18 to walk a million steps before the end of July (70 days.)

Day/Weight/Comment
05/27 231.8, ready for another round! Woke up to low blood sugar this morning, actually had to dump sugar in. (Insulin dosing is not an exact science, especially when one is losing weight. Last night's bedtime dose was apparently just a tad too much.) So with 6 AM "snacking" I am already going to have to budget calories for the rest of the day. Steps yesterday: 18,747; steps to date: 139,941, a little ahead of pace. Blister well bandaged but tender, most of my steps were in socks/no shoes at the office! With the hallways empty due to everyone teleworking, I got up and walked through every phone call. Today makes one month of 10 Days. Thanks, everyone for the help!
05/28 232.0, virtually unchanged. Steps 11,836 / 151,777. Perhaps instead of making my goal focus on snacking control it should have been exercising snacking control! I have bee focusing alright, I have far too much to focus on! I need to establish new habits.
05/29 231.8. Blood sugar has been doing well, can't wait for my next appointment with "Dr. Furious." That's not until late July, but I think he's going to be surprised (that I will have lost weight and my sugar is good), happy (at my results), and frustrated (that I haven't been eating correctly like this previously and therefore have had poor sugar in the past.) Steps 10,754/162,531. I wish my foot would heal so I could go for a real walk! This is probably going to set me back a week or more longer but it is my own fault. So more sock-walking in the hallways at work and flip flop walking around the yard at home! No worries, I'll get as many steps in as I can and won't fret about what I can't do. Besides, it forces better food discipline -- if there are no "exercise calories" to eat, I am forced to make better food choices instead. Have a great weekend, all.
05/30 231.8. steps only 8995. More later.
05/31 230.8, steps 8409. I am going to attempt to get a gauze bandage to stay taped onto my foot today and see if I can gradually start increasing the steps again. I need to find a work around or resolve myself to just sitting and waiting it out for whatever time it takes to heal. I have to at least get the from yard cut, the weeds are a foot high in places with all the rain. At least the scale finally moved in the right direction!
06/01 230.0, so close to my goal for this round! I haven't been below 230 in several years. I WANNA! Steps 9,718 / 189,653, basically right on pace for my July 1 step goal. Working from home for the next three days due to the troubles downtown. Lots of damage and debris. Pray for peace, pray for justice, and pray for each other.
I do want to share one NSV from yesterday. Meals and snack-buying have changed little around my house and some days just trying to eat with the family has been challenging for me. Breakthrough yesterday.... Wyfe and Princess (lives-nearby-always-here adult daughter) talked early in the day about doing tacos for dinner. I said my usual "I will have to work it out to see if I have the calories" speech. Princess says "how about if we do taco SALADS?" and I pointed out that the ground beef and the shell would still drive the calories. And so she suggested "How about we shred a Costco rotisserie chicken instead of beef and toss it with taco seasoning, and we throw it in a BOWL and put Tostidos on the side instead of using a shell?" A "aha moment" for the family, and a very nice dinner indeed! Lettuce, campari tomatoes, salsa, pic de gallo, kalamata olives, jarred jalapenos, shredded cheese, chicken, (plus sour cream for them) and (for me, only 5) Tostidos..... 412 calories that were tasty AND filling! And my family steered the meal this way in support of my efforts. Family support.... a small but meaningful NSV!
06/02 229.0 GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAL! Well, for the round, anyway. Steps 12,063 / 201,716. Embrace the momentum! 30 more pounds to ONEderland!
06/03 229.0. Steps only 5006. Very long, busy day of work, my butt cheeks are sore from sitting in this chair for 12+ hours. Will try to get up more today. Lack of any activity showed up in my blood sugar this morning too (157). Can't have that!
06/04 230.8, steps 12,035/218,757. Okay, a little bounce is not too alarming. I did most everything right yesterday. although supper was a little high in sodium. Sugar was fine this morning and I did not overeat and I got steps in, so I am not worried. Note the number, but watch the trend!
06/05 230.4 steps 11937 / 230694. I am not where I wanted to be but I am where I am -- down 1.4 pounds for 10 days. Still trending in the right direction! More better gooder next round!8 -

06/02 - 173.3 Let's try to do this again. Holding myself accountable again. Working from home destroyed my progress but I'm back in the office thankfully. Ready to get back on track! It does really suck to see all your progress disappear.
06/03 - 171.7 Glad to see the water weight coming off. I saw 177 on the scale when I jumped on last week. I haven't ventured back to working out yet. I tried eating healthier yesterday and did okay.
06/04 - 171.7 Still struggling with over eating. It's going to take some time (to eat all the snacks in my home lmao) and some self discipline to stop.
06/05 - 171.5 Still over snacking ...need to hit the gym soon.9 -

Day/Weight/Comment
5/27/20 - 183
This is depressing.
5/28/20 - 183
I worked almost all day in the garden putting in new beds and moving plants around — all good! — and ate sparingly during the day, but I was hangry last night and finally gave in. Nothing shockingly bad, and my calories were over my goal but under maintenance. Aiming for more protein today to fend off the late-night hungries! I’m determined to get this wagon rolling down from the crest of fat mountain! 🏔🎢
5/29/20 - 183
Still here. Calories once again over goal but under maintenance. We got a lot of rain yesterday so I didn’t do as much in the garden as I’d planned. Rain off and on today, too.
5/30/20 - 182.4
It’s a gorgeous morning here and I’m headed out to the garden. Yay! Also planning a nice long walk later. My favorite, close-by section of the river greenway is closed due to flooding, so I’ve decided to take that as a nudge to go check out a part of the trail I haven’t walked in a long time. Have a lovely weekend, all!
5/31/20 - forgot to weigh!
6/01/20 - 183
I seem to have a uti and am retaining everything I drink, apparently, which is gallons! Feel like I’m sloshing. I also ate an amazing Andes mint brownie that a friend dropped off, dammit. Wow - it was worth the calories, though I don’t want to know how many! Anyway, happy June! It’s another gorgeous day here and I have tons of garden work planned — I planted my newly expanded native prairie plants bed on Friday, and have woodland plants to put in in shadier areas today. Whee! Have a lovely! 🌸🌷☘️🌼🌿🌻🌱
6/02/20 - 184
Ugh. That’s the brownie, plus still retaining water, though the uti seems to have resolved. Garden work! My new herb garden is dug and tilled, and the two beds I’m expanding are de-turfed, and the prairie/native bee planted. So that’s all good, except it makes me hungry! But I’m making salmon-egg-avocado-veggies salad for lunch to up the protein. I need a higher protein breakfast. Ideas? No protein powder — real food. I’m swearing off snacks — and nothing after dinner, even if I’m hungry. Hoping the protein will help. Trying not to whine or beat myself up too much, though I am disgusted. Also trying not to check the news too often.
6/03/20 - 182.8
Finally letting go of some of that water. Calories well below goal, lots of protein, lots of exercise, one snack — air-popped popcorn. All good.
6/04/20 - 182.6
Yesterday was a good day in the garden — I built and painted two trellises on the fence and planted vines on them, planted my herb garden and the extended section of the bed across the back of the yard, trimmed and weeded the front bed. Whee! It’s good for body and soul, and a counterweight to the news these days. Kept my calories below maintenance though above my goal (a friend gave me a bunch of rhubarb so I made crisp because...). Off to buy more soil. Have a good day, all.
6/05/20 - 182.6
Okay, a little progress. My calories the past few days have been on target, but my 7-day average is still a little high. Next round! At least I feel I’m getting a handle on snacking, and being out in the garden is a great emotional relief. See you at R116.

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...
...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.

WELCOME TO JUNE
🌻🥀🌸🌹🥀🌼🥀🌹🌸🥀🌻
#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.
- June: 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 by keeping busy
Never give up! Never give in!
Back Story:2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅JGM10D ~|~ Round 115
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.Posting weight and comments each evening.

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/27 187.4 coming down from the weekend splurge
05/28 186.4 still on my way down
05/29 185.6 back to end weight of Round 113. Now to start losing again.
05/30 185.8 Friday’s are always tricky. I’m exhausted at the end of a long week and just want the “reward” of treat eating. Happy I contained the damage last night and ate at maintenance.
05/31 185.8
06/01 185.8 Three days in a row. Well, I’d rather be stuck at this number than a higher one, so I’ll take it.
06/02 185.0 I made it! Made my mini goal of 185 (again). Now to keep it by avoiding those weekend splurges (or DD grad splurge tomorrow) that just send me back recycling the same weight again.
06/03 184.8 Kept it! I’m going to wait until I have a week of weighing in below my mini goal of 185 before officially establishing my next goal. But I’m happy to be here and not higher!
06/04 184.6 Happy Scale now finally says my average weight is 185. I’m not quite ready to declare victory—I want to get through to the other side of the weekend with a 185 average, but am happy to be this close. Gratified for today’s number—had a BBQ to celebrate DD graduation yesterday and wasn’t sure how that would impact today.
06/05 184.6 Was hoping for another 0.2 to make it a flat 4lbs loss for this round, but I’ll still take it. Moving average is now 184.8 in HS. So if I can make it through the weekend maintaining this, I’ll declare my goal accomplished and set the next one!

Day/Weight/Comment
05/27 - 153.6: Fairly happy camper. Ate great and hydrated alright. Stupid long work day, which was a contributor to the low activity. Fitbit's reporting 5,918 steps (2.59 miles).
05/28 - 152.6: Eggs for breakfast, and I figure the pack of (prepacked) deli olives I grabbed out of the fridge weren't the best quick lunch option, but it could've been a whole lot worse. Healthy dinner. Virtually strapped to my desk most of my waking hours, and in back to back meetings during normal work day. Making time to get outside are so beneficial, seemingly even more for my mind than body. Happy enough, and so very much looking forward to the weekend. Fitbit says 11,683 steps (5.1 miles).
05/29: 152.4 - What used to be called skipping meals can be considered IF, right? Last minute invite to bday dinner with my grownup kids. Binged on steak, mac&cheese, cake, and mochi. No regrets. Fitbit says 4,255 steps (1.86 miles).
05/30: 151.2 - Seriously surprised 1.2 lbs down after yesterday's binging and lack of activity. Decided Thai takeout might calm my troubled mind. My fav eggplant dish always causes tummy problems when I get the 4/5 stars. Today was no different. I won't get into details, but if you haven't read Amazon reviews about sugar free gummy bears, you will understand. Fitbit doesn't say much, since I lost my charger, but Endomondo says my walk was 4.11 miles.
05/31: 150.2 - Emotionality rough first part of the day, including another memorial service. Talked it through, which really helped... but so did a pint of Ben & Jerry's Phish Food. No regrets.. Fitbit says 15,206 steps (6.66 miles).
06/01: 152.6 - The trouble with using ice cream to fix my feelings isn't that the scale goes up a little the next day. The real danger is that it sets off the phenomenon of craving that makes it so difficult to stop again. Seem to be back on track, but hard to say after one day.
06/02: 151.6 - Fell asleep before I had a chance to add my comment yesterday. Sleep is good! Ate well. Relaxing evening. Could've drank more water. Fitbit says 7,978 steps (4.48 miles.)
06/03: 152.2 - Huh. That's weird, but whatever. Ate well, but not enough food or water. Butt hurts from sitting at my desk today and hardly moving. Fitbit scoffs at 2,876 steps (1.26 miles).
06/04: 150.4 - Ah yes. Another long day of sitting not moving. After stupid healthy late lunch (leftover vegan sweet & spicy mango tofu eggplant pulled out of the freezer) roommate asked, "Thinking about getting pizza. Will you eat some too?" Happy to be of service! Fitbit hardly says 2,535 (1.11 miles).
06/05: 152.6 - Pizza water weight. No big deal! Finished off the above mentioned eggplant dish, split between lunch & dinner. A handful of delightful pecans for snack. Fitbit says 3,309 steps (1.45 miles). Fitbit also says that I haven't nearly got enough sleep over the last 3 days (<5 hrs/night). Of course I wanted pizza last night! Of course I've been thinking of chocolate today! Of course haven't had energy to go for my usual walks!
Overall, I'm pleased with this round during an turbulent week. You folks helped, and for that I'm most grateful.4 -

It would be nice if MyFitnessPal used the same algorithm in calculations as Senza does, there's a low carb option but the carb calculating is hard for me to understand in my MyFitnessPal I have to do the math of deducting the sugar from the fiber and almost ignore the carbohydrate calculations all together, started at 142 lbs on Halloween now I'm at 135 lbs, 8 days on keto, I know it's mostly water and bloat but I feel so much better. I would like to incorporate IF but right now I'm just focusing on eating right and not feeling hungry, it's hard for me to pick a time slot specific for food, between working and mommy-ing I eat when I can but now instead of grabbing unhealthy food choices a couple tbsp of MTC oil in my coffee really helps.1

@SarahSmy1982 I tried tracking in a few different apps and finally tried Senza. I don’t track anything in MFP except my weight which is also in Senza. And if there is an issue with Senza, you actually get a reply to questions not a list of irrelevant possibilities.
