    @fmfdfa2020 Thank you for your kind words. Also, do you pay attention to the sodium column when you track your food? I was AMAZED at the amount of naturally-occurring sodium, even in veggies! My raw baby carrots had 80mg of my 2,300 goal. Sneaky!! I do not use the "shaker" or even add salt when cooking anymore, but I do need to thank you for raising this issue. It caused me to go look at my overall sodium intake and most days I am 1,000mg or more under MFP goal. Need to research to see what impact too little sodium may have. Keep us posted on your progress in cutting back!
    @TerriRichardson112 How do you get a read on your muscle/fat percentage? That is another great way to gauge success!
    @deepwoodslady I grew up poor in the MW, too! At least monetarily poor, but family rich--I wouldn't trade my roots for a money tree! My grandparents who lived through the depression taught us how to make every resource count, including those raised on our farm. For this reason I, too, always cleaned my plate. That is a hard habit to break. When I was in to "fad" diets, one nugget I took away from the Dukan Diet, was to eat until you are full. You can always eat the rest later or the next day when you are hungry--so you can enjoy your meal twice. Depending on the food, sometimes I will freeze individual servings for quick, healthy lunches later--so no waste. The other thing that works for me on "food I shouldn't eat"--I don't necessarily throw it away or feel guilty eating it as long as I log it and stay under my MFP daily goal. Life is too short to sacrifice a taste here and there!
    @shnerb00 Welcome Back!
    @Kuhl50 I am going to go look for the Half-size Me podcast. I love the philosophy of being able to eat what you want, but waiting until it's "time". I may see how I can make that work within my IF.
    @musicsax My heart goes out to you. I wish I had magic words to make the agony go away. Will pray for a miracle as well as strength for you and your family.
    @_JeffreyD_ No R120 link yet, but think it comes out late on the last day of the round, so you didn't miss it unless I did too!

    29 yo female
    5’2” Small frame according to my wrist circumference
    SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
    Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
    Goal Weight: 110
    Previous rounds: 125.2 -> 122.8 -> 121.6 -> 121.2 -> 119.8-> 119.4 -> 117.8 ->116.6
    Goal weight for this round: Somewhere in the 116 or 115 range
    About me:
    I love learning about food and everything about it; from the way it acts in the body to learning to cook a new recipe. I went to school for nutrition (got my bachelor's) but I didn’t become an RD because it didn’t feel like the path for me. I guess I wanted to keep it as more of an interest instead of a career. I then went into public health to further my education and I currently help medically complex patients by connecting them with community resources to improve their health and life. I enjoy helping family and friends when they ask for advice related to food and nutrition. Plus, it helps me brush up on what I spent so much time learning!

    I’m here because when I’m not paying attention to what I eat, I start to gain and feel uncomfortable in my body. For me that results in frustration and a lot of other emotions. It has also increased my cholesterol in the past (It’s good now as far as I know thanks to diet and exercise). I have a family history of diabetes, heart disease, and all that fun stuff. So, I want to prevent that for myself by getting a hold of my food habits now.

    I’m always open to conversation about food and nutrition, so feel to reach out to me!
    Previous days entries:
    07/06 116.6 Happy Monday everyone! This morning we did a good soccer workout for some exercise. Today is our produce CSA day and I’m looking forward to all the fun fruits and vegetables we’ll be picking up!

    07/07 116.2 Hi! Not sure if the weight is right but I’ll go with it. I had the same number for like 5 days so I took one of the scale batteries out and put it back in which resulted in this number after it reading 116.6 minutes beforehand. Yesterday was fun picking up the CSA. This week we got summer squash, zucchini, kousa squash, peas, beets with greens, hakurei turnips with greens, kale, spigariello, green leaf lettuce, a cucumber, a small tomato, basil, scallions, strawberries and apples.
    We went for a nice walk this morning coming in at 5ish miles. Today my sister in law and I will go pick up our monthly meat CSA which will be another fun adventure of new food options in the house! Not sure what’s on the agenda for dinner tonight except that I want to have some watermelon and feta cheese salad. I love that salty sweet combo! Have a good day everyone!

    07/08 116.8 Yesterday was a really fun day/night. It was awesome to pick up the meat CSA and to fill the freezer with new cuts of meat that we haven’t had in while! Then, my husband and I had some wine and played poker. Dinner was a wash of eating jalapeno poppers and a watermelon/feta salad. He had the poppers with fries and I ate the salad and poppers. I guess that’s a half way decent food compromise. I didn’t stress about the excessive calories because it was about having fun last night. We also finally looked at our wedding pictures and watched some of the videos from it. Watching the video of our entire family (both sides) singing and dancing to Paradise by the Dashboard Lights by Meatloaf is one of the memories I will never forget from that day. It still brings so much joy just to watch the video of it.
    Today is a recovery day of sorts and I’m just trying to focus on eating light and not caving too much into the cravings for all the high calorie foods after a night of a few glasses of wine. 😊 I did manage to do a reduced soccer workout this morning with my father in law because even though I drank I didn’t feel icky this morning luckily.

    07/09 116.8 Oh how I love water weight retention lol. I’m going to have more because of my cycle and splurging on Chinese takeout food tonight because it has been 4 months. Busy day today with work which equals a not too chatty post. We did get a nice walk in this morning though! Have a good day!

    07/19 118.2 Yuck…I hate the after effects of Chinese takeout food….but it tasted so good as a treat! Now back to eating more normally for me today 😊. We did an awesome soccer workout this morning, so that helped me sweat some salt/water retention out. For meals I have yogurt, strawberries, and granola planned for my breakfast and I’m really looking forward to it! I’ll be eating a lot of the CSA veggies today because we haven’t gone through too many. So I’ll probably be grilling or roasting some CSA squash, beets, hakurei turnips, and an eggplant I picked from our raised bed to go with our dinner tonight. I want to put them on top of a kale salad that has a basil cilantro chimichurri dressing on it. I’ll probably throw some more fresh basil in it too because our plants need some pruning/picking so they don’t flower.

    07/11 118.0 Yesterday was a decent day for food. My breakfast was so good yesterday. I love the simplicity of fresh & in season fruit, yogurt, and granola. Although, to avoid having to place an online order for more yogurt I think next week my breakfast may consist of eggs and a healthy/high fiber muffin instead. Plus, it’ll be good to switch it up and eating the eggs will encourage me to use more of the CSA veggies in a new way. I’m thinking I might make a frittata with some CSA veggies. My dinner last night was a weird one because we found out some not so great news about my mother in law which made me not want to cook much for dinner. So, I finished up the last of my scallion pancakes (5 triangles worth), ate half of an apple muffin and had 6 dolmas that were in my pantry. But I really am excited to eat a lot of veggies today with my meals 😊. Not the worst dinner in the world but not the best. I still logged everything which was good though.

    07/12 117.2 Yesterday was a good day for food. I had my typical breakfast and didn’t even feel the need to snack. I also didn’t exercise, so that kept the hunger levels down. I cooked an early dinner of jerk chicken leg quarters with kale and spigariello salad, roasted summer squashes, miso honey butter roasted beets and hakurei turnips. The beets and turnips were so so yummy with the miso honey butter concoction! I think I’ll be trying that mixture on a lot of root vegetables this fall. It’ll taste so good with sweet potatoes and butternut squash too!
    I plan on making that frittata for breakfast today. It’ll have roasted summer squash, fresh scallions, bacon, shredded beet greens and turnip greens, American and cheddar cheese, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and some salt and pepper.

    07/13 116.7 Yesterday was a chill day and the frittata I made came out really good, so I’m looking forward to that for breakfast today. We did mellow workout this morning because we were both tired. I enjoyed the change of pace. It’s CSA day today and was informed by the farmer’s that we’ll be getting a lot of Asian greens this week. It’ll be fun to try new recipes with some greens I’ve never tried before. 😊 Have a happy Monday everyone!

    07/14 117.2 We had a surprise Bertucci’s dinner delivered to us last night kindly sent from my father in law’s work team due to everything going on with my mother in law. So, I couldn’t turn down chicken parmesan when offered. It really is crazy how salt can make you fluctuate so much. It was totally worth it though because I was tired after breaking down all the CSA produce and didn’t feel like creating dirty dishes making dinner. We found an awesome wild blueberry patch on our walk this morning, so we are going back tomorrow with a container to pick more than a handful! Our CSA was FILLED with greens this week. All sorts including: Tokyo Bakana (new to me), Mizzuna (heard of it but never tried), bok choi (tried this), Thai basil (yum!), arugula (spicy kick!), and green winterbor kale. Such a fun pick up, it also included summer squash, pickling cucumbers, beets, onions, baby fennel, blueberries, and blackberries.

    We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

    What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
