Day/Weight/Comment

7/16 - 182.8
Eeeek! Salt.


7/17 - 181.4
I’m sitting in my garden and just had a close encounter with a ruby-throated hummingbird who hovered about 2 feet from my face for a few seconds. Several gold-finches are flitting around the Black-eyed Susans, coneflowers, and sunflowers, and sparrows are picking up nesting material (aka weeds and grass) I pulled out of the beds and tossed on the lawn. And no lawn mowers! Just birdsong and cicadas. Off for a walk now, and I have today’s menus all planned. Have a lovely Friday, all.

7/18 - 181.4
Snacked a little last night — popcorn — but I’m keeping calories under control. I’m itching to dig new beds in the garden but we’re under a heat advisory the next couple of days so maybe not. I’ll get an early walk in, though. Yay, Saturday!

07/16: 170.8; Had a rough workout yesterday that left me terribly over heated and dehydrated. Though my weight stayed low, I still don't think it's a true reflection of where I am. I'm guessing 171.8 or so...

07/17: 171.2; Weight is starting to level out now that I'm hydrated. Glad the bump up was so small.

07/16 163.2 Holy hell! Serious wake up call!!! 3,383 steps - Personal training session via zoom.

07/17 161.6 Nice walk today. 11,938 steps

07/18 162.2 I expected a little rise in weight since we had really salty Indian food last night. I'll drink a lot of water today and go for another long walk.

R119 - Lost 2.9# - 172.6
R120 GOAL: 169.9 Need to dip my toe into the 160's!
IF: 16:8

07/16: 173.2
07/17: 174.4 If my goal was to gradually gain everyday, I'd be on target. Not being able to track food/exercise due to visitation and funeral the last couple days makes the difference. Back to normal today, if normal is even a thing anymore.
07/18: 173.6 Heading back to the gym after a week off. Glad I kept walking outside, but expect a slight increase in water retention for swole tomorrow if I Iift late in the day. Still right for the long run--no pun intended!

Round 120 - Started MFP and 10-Day Challenge 12/27/19 - 186.0 (Heaviest weight ever!)

I am so determined this round. I want to hit my first goal (173.2) this round and then move from there to finally get back to the 160's over the next 2 rounds!

• Row and/or free weights 8 of 10 days ✔✔
• (8) 8oz water per day ✔
• 4 to 5 vegies/fruit each day ✔
• No sugar ✔✔
• IF 6 out of 10 days ✔✔
• New Challenge - Pushups. Today I could literally do only 1 pushup barely and this was with my knees down. Do them every day and hopefully be able to do 10 soon. My husband suggested maybe doing some bench presses too. ✔✔
• 1/2 tsp of added salt ✔✔

Round 120 Start Weight: 174.4

07/16 - 174.4
07/17 - 174.2 Sore from my one pushup and many tries from yesterday LOL. I could do 3 today going only halfway down. I thought my arms were stronger from rowing but either I didn't know how weak I was or different muscles.
07/18 - 173.9 Hit 173s YAY. May take a few days to stay there. I think I'm holding less water weight due to eating less salt?? Also drank more water yesterday - finally!

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.

7/16 116.0 Last month we donated blood and subsequently learned we are slightly anemic. 2 weeks ago the doctor told me to start taking 1 iron tablet a day and to increase my magnesium. Well, there is a battle royals waging in my belly for the last several days and I’m afraid to leave the house - if you get my drift! Today I’m planning on taking nothing but my BP meds and fasting until 4 at least - that’ll be a 24 hour fast. Only black coffee and water.
7/17 116.0 Three year keto-versary! This WOE has improved my labs each time they have been checked. My blood pressure is down and I’m 51 pounds lighter than I was. Unfortunately, due to COVID I’m not comfortable at the gym where people still don’t wipe down the equipment and cancelled my paid membership yesterday. I can still go as part of my insurance plan but not use the extras.
7/18 115.5 Yesterday must have been steak day! I see several of us on this thread had steak. We split a T-bone. Back in the day I would have eaten the whole thing by myself-it was just over a pound including the bone. I had a few Brussels sprouts and about a cup of broccoli - OMAD! And we ate “dinner” early - before 3.

@deepwoodslady I’ve been taking calcium, magnesium and zinc, individually, daily for 20 years or more. Now it’s impossible to find zinc!

End of round 118: 227.6
End of round 119: 224.6

An early victory to start the round: I woke up early this morning and decided to go for a walk to jump start my exercise for the day. 2.33 miles, 284 active calories burned.

7/16: 223.6 Finally some weight dropping off in the last few days, after several days of up and down but overall staying about the same.

7/17: 224.4 I was within my calories yesterday, but most of them were near the end of the day. And I had dropped a lot in the last few days, so it’s not surprising that it’s up a bit as that whoosh balances out. I also like days like today where my scale weight is right on the trend line - feels like it’s finally showing my “true” current weight through all the normal fluctuations.

7/18: 223.6 Back to the low from two days ago and smoothing out yesterday’s bump.

07/16 - 327.8
07/17 - 329.7 - doing alt. day intermittent fasting means I'll have an uptick in weight every other day. I expect it and am prepared. I'm so prepared that if I lose too much too quickly, I'll change from a 4:3 to a 5:2 fasting pattern. But so far, so very good.
07/18 - 326.8 - As expected, down a pound from 2 days ago. Since July 6th, down almost 14 lbs. Alt. day IF really has kickstarted my losses after being stuck on a plateau for almost 7 weeks.

Round 120
Month/Day: Weight / Comment

07/16: 212.4 / Starting this round at my average for last round. NSV: yesterday I actually reached my hand out to pick up a 2nd donut at work, and then pulled it back. Thought about how it might affect my 10-day challenge. Wish I could be that way all the time. Does anyone else feel obligated to take a donut or cookie that someone else brings in to share at work? I do not want to hurt their feelings or put-down their act of kindness. I think I am actually wrong about this.
07/17: 212.0
07/18: 211.8 / I will happily take this, since I did not weigh until mid day after fishing all morning. Left the house at 3:45 am. Drank a lot of water. Tomorrow will be higher. I may need a nap. 😊

07/15 …..209.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

07/16 …..210.1 ….. I want to apologize for not being very engaging these past few rounds. There are some major changes going on in my life, some good, some full of turmoil, and my time has been limited and my efforts constantly disrupted. What I am facing could turn positive but it is going to take awhile for it to all come together. My diet and exercise has been completely thrown off-kilter no matter how hard I have tried to keep a good schedule. My usual walking plans of many, many miles per day has been non-existent. Covid has contributed but is not the main factor. I am saddened by this because summer is usually my most successful time of year due to walking, hiking and outdoor activity. I hope for resolution in the coming months, certainly by the end of the year. In the meantime, I will continue to hang around and do what I can, when I can. I know how important it is to my health. I just wanted to say I am sorry that I am not in a position to inspire at this time, but that I continue to be inspired by each and every one of you. I ask for your patience. I still have so much to learn from you all which I know will help when my life is back in order and I can get back in the game 100%. Thanks for your understanding and support.


07/17 …..210.0 ….. Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes and private emails too. It is truly appreciated during what is proving to be an especially challenging time. @quiltingjaine When I was a Postal worker years back and on my feet all the time, the gov’t recommended calcium, magnesium and zinc which we took in a 1 pill combo pill. It really did help with leg cramps, muscle soreness and all the things leg related. Of course, talk to your doctor if you have any concerns. It helped thousands of us, just in my building alone!

07/18 …..210.0 ….. Status Quo.

07/16 145.4 lbs 1,872 Calories 45 Carbs, 26 Net Carbs and No Exercise today. Just one of those days with no motivation. Made a Keto dessert but I ate to much of it. I will try to get back on track tomorrow.

07/17 146.0 lbs. ⬆️ I have to get my eating under Control again. One thing I don’t talk about much. But in the past I was/ am a binge eater!! It’s a bad habit I have and it still shows up just when I think I have it under control. One good thing is that I’m eating health food not just Junk!! 1,112 Calories, 65 Carbs, 44 Net Carbs , 5,887 steps and 30 minutes aerobics! Carbs are high but I had Green Beans from the garden and they were worth the Carbs.

07/18 145 lbs ⬇️ 1,411 Calories, 41 Carbs, 33 Net Carbs and 5,517 steps. Sweet corn is just starting to be ready and we had some for lunch. I know it’s not low carb but that’s OK. It sure was good!!

although I won't complain because I haven't skipped a day of working out yet!

07/17 – 223.5 new low for me but although I had a good day the evening wasn’t so good. Wine and then an apple turnover which my husband had bought me as he forgot I was trying to lose weight!!!
07/18 – 226.5 Just as I thought an increase for me today. Again I had a good day food wise but it was the wine in the evening that did me in. I’m so good all week and then blow it at weekends.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 120 (round 52 for me ) I'm in for another round (of course!) – I need to just keep going! Yet again thank you @GrandmaJackie such a champion particularly in these unprecedented & unsettled times, helping keep some stability in our lives, for setting up these challenges.

Female age 62 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 !

Goal – get back to 132 for this round.... - aim to get back to & stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, really want to keep the 10 days binge free! Keep calm, wash hands, be kind and follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus.

Day/Weight/Comment

07/16 135.2 – such fluctuation !! 8.67 miles walked yesterday. 573 calories in green and all macros in green.
07/17 135.2 – 7.07 miles walked yesterday, at DS with DGD & DGS#1 (brother of sick DGS) so no control of food preparation, but did try to restrict volume of intake !!
07/18 135.2 – 9.6 miles walked yesterday, 605 calories in credit and all macros in green. Baby DGS#2 has been transferred to Leeds hospital where liver experts are, they have given a very tiny glimmer of hope, long hard struggle ahead, but he is a fighter! We're all keeping positive for a miracle.
07/19 135.8 – 10.15 miles walked – guessing that's the bacon at lunch & pizza last night, 304 calories in credit, but 21g carbs over.

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.
July: focus is on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:

• 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 ✅
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!

Day/Weight/Comment
07/16–179.4 Well, that just stinks! I did pretty much everything wrong yesterday, and it shows. I almost didn’t post here this morning. Almost didn’t weigh. But that’s what I do when I lose control and vanish from the board, so I decided to just own it and move forward. So that’s a positive, right? I’m hoping this drops off pretty quickly since it was a one day deal, but I know it will take a while to make progress beyond where I was at the end of Round 119. But it's all good. I'm still here and will not give up this time.
07/17–177.6 So, that’s real progress, but some of the damage remains, which is always true, isn’t it? Had a perfectly lovely morning hiking with granddaughter in a pack on my back to an enormous sunflower field. She loves riding on my back in that pack, and I love carrying her into some of my favorite places.
07/18–176.0 Finally some real progress. I’ll take it! I ate lots of fresh veggies and some fresh peaches yesterday along with a farm-raised filet mignon for dinner last night. Got in a good walk early yesterday morning. IF 16:8
07/19–175.6 Sure hope I can maintain control today and keep this trend going!

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 free to reach out to me!

Previous days’ entries

07/16 116.8 We went for an awesome walk this morning clocking in at 6.52 miles. It was a pretty one too, up the small hill/mountain we have in my city and back home. I just ordered a flat of 12 pints of blueberries for next week in addition to our CSA. I think I’m going to take a couple days off from work to make a bunch of different goodies with them 😊. I need some me time and I think that will be perfect! Dinner tonight will be leftover pesto pasta and chicken with some leftover roasted veggies because they really need to get eaten.
07/17 116.2 It’s raining this morning, so we went for a 3 mile run in the neighborhood instead of a soccer workout at the fields. Then, I continued after my father in law headed home and did another 3 miles of walking and spurts of running when I got chilly. For breakfast today I plan on making some oatmeal with fresh blueberries, peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut cashews, cinnamon, and a dollop of Skyrr. I love that it’s a little cooler because it will be the perfect day to enjoy a hot bowl of oatmeal! I plan on making pork chops with BBQ sauce with a massive salad for dinner tonight. Still trying to figure out what I want for a snack/lunch in between the two of them. Happy Friday!

07/18 116.2 Early morning post for me. I’m just relaxing while the house is nice and quiet. I plan on doing a body weight workout and then jump on the spin bike for a bit today. I’m not really sure what I have planned for food today except that I know eating a cucumber feta salad will be in my future because I have a couple cukes to eat before we pick up our csa on Monday. I also have beets and summer squash to cook/ do something with. I have a beet and blueberry muffin recipe that I’m tempted to try from the Run Fast Cook Fast Eat Slow cookbook. I also kind of want to try and make refrigerator pickles with the squash and one of the cucumbers.
Last night we end up making Pho for dinner because we had some instant mixes back from when I had the flu in February. I added the pork cut into slices, bok choi, onion, and summer squash (My husband wasn’t a fan of the squash). It came out pretty good and it was a nice quick dinner that didn’t break the calorie bank. I didn’t bother tracking it because the two mixes together totaled 500 calories, so I knew I would be okay with us splitting that and the addition of pork weighed less than I had originally expected. I was satisfied hunger wise for the rest of the night and my husband ended up munching on some cashews and a spoonful of peanut butter while we were watching the Rev’s soccer game around 8ish.

07/19 116.2 Yesterday was an awesome day! I had a non-scale victory of being able to do 7 chin-ups in a row during my bodyweight workout. That makes me feel good because I know I’m still gaining muscle while losing weight. That has been one of my goals because I want to have a good amount of muscle so I don’t end up being skinny fat (which isn’t healthy either). I also have sore legs from said bodyweight and spin bike workout.

Food-wise, I had fun making whole wheat blueberry muffins with the wild blueberries we picked last week. I also made some more granola and refrigerator pickles using CSA zucchini and onion. Breakfast was a blueberry beet smoothie from the cookbook Run Fast Eat Slow (Shalene Flannagan and Elyse Kopecky’s first cookbook) along with a cucumber salad with 2 oz. of feta. Snacks were a blueberry muffin, yogurt with blueberries, and honey granola. Dinner was basil fried rice made by my husband. It had ground chicken, Jasmine brown rice, onion, frozen stir fry veggies, and a concoction of soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and one more sauce, I think. Then I had a large apple for dessert. The stir fry was so good! Plus, I love it when he cooks dinner 😊.

Tonight’s dinner will be burgers made with our CSA ground beef which is super lean. I think I read on their website the beef is about 95% lean. We have to use up some Kaiser rolls in the fridge and I was thinking about caramelizing some onions too. I’ll grill up what’s left of the summer squashes from our CSA for a side. If any greens are left well have some salad too.
