Day/Weight/Comment
1/7: 189 Eating was ok yesterday, but a bit higher calorie as I was finishing up some leftovers. Not much activity though.
1/8: 188.2 Food was pretty good but did have a couple drinks at the end of the day. Also still not getting much activity. Hopefully can work on that this weekend.
1/9: 188 Was hoping I’d have a bigger water weight whoosh at the beginning of this round, but it’s looking like I might already be in the slower moving phase. Oh well, I’m the only one responsible for where I’m at right now. Eating was alright yesterday, but still struggling on the activity front.
1/10: 188.8 Ugh no explanation for the uptick but hoping it’s just temporary. Made a yummy soup yesterday and got out to walk, despite the cold rain, to get over 9k steps.
1/11: 187.4 Was feeling munchy all day yesterday so was hard to stay on track. Did still manage to keep close to my calories though. Hoping for a good day today.

1/11 - 146.4 - Leftover wings (plain) and added steamable veggies for lunch. Plus a banana as "dessert". Dinner was homemade chicken & dumplings. BF successfully made the dumplings! Go him! Water on track, too. Workout was completed during that after lunch slump and worked well. I'm back working from home today due to high covid positive numbers within the company (it's worse than the first round when noone quite knew what to do) and my work this week is all meetings so why go in? Today is leftover chicken & dumplings for lunch and I'll make my stuffed pepper soup for dinner.

Previous Day's Comments1/07 - Body is still holding on to some bloat, but I'm still dropping which I'm happy about. Today is rest day. I also have 2 doc appointments (1 in person women's health, 1 virtual) and apparently we are looking at a house this afternoon. Dinner was corned beef and cabbage chowder which I have plenty of leftovers for today. Between appointments and all, I may stop by the store to grab something for dinner tonight I can make.
1/08 - Not quite enough water, ate out (looking at house took longer than expected and we stopped to check out a local place in the area we didn't know about. It's super adorable, 100% want to visit again), and TMI not quite there. Today is air fryer wings for lunch (I may have a couple plain wings but eat more of that corned beef cabbage chowder). Dinner will be either stuffed pepper soup or homemade chicken and dumplings, depending on how BF work goes (he makes the chicken&dumplings). Workout due today but he has full schedule so I have time to procrastinate. Woke up suuuuuper early for no reason and feeling it so giving myself grace when it comes to energy levels. It's a rainy dreary morning here and quite chilly. Definitely taking this as my lazy day to relax and maybe read more of my book. Unfortunately it's an e-book, but I've had to sacrifice my paper books for sake of space. This house we looked at has built in shelving for books and I LOVE it. My current mini-library is full of mixed media. Some books in a series are paper while others I've had to contend with electronic versions. Drives me batty! (And yes, for those books I love, I'm THAT girl who will buy the paper copy of it even though I already bought the e-book of it. I always wanted a library!) Plus, paper copies are just so much more intimate for me. Mom (who is an author and the reason I'm a book nerd) thinks I'm crazy and has no idea where I get so many particularities with books from. It's not her, so long as it's a book, she's happy, regardless of the medium. Dad's not a book person. I'm also the girl who will very carefully read a paperback as to not crease the spine. And holy moly, do not dog ear or bend pages or write in them, I will LOSE IT. Unless I get secondhand books, of course. Then it's character teehee. Wish I had a secondhand book store here.
1/09 - Interesting. I feel less bloated and lighter today. I was excited to see what the scale said and, surprise surprise! An increase. I'm not worried about it, I'm just happy FEELING lighter, but I was shocked. Dinner this weekend was switched. Work allows Fam and BF some opportunity to get together so we had dinner there last night (smothered pork chops with rice and collard greens) and today we will head over for wings. I've got to get a list together to shop for at least 2 dinners this week and lunch for me. We will have chicken & dumplings and stuffed pepper soup during the week, but need 2 more dinners. Think I'll make myself taco salad for the week and if it's not enough, I'll take dinner leftovers (I mainly need something for tomorrow since I won't have leftovers from Fam)
1/10 - Water back up to normal. Food wasn't the greatest, but not the worst (wings and fries with leftovers for today. Added in some veggies for lunch as well). Tired this morning, for the first time in my life (that I wasn't horribly sick) that I remember, I slept through my alarms. I was so exhausted apparently. My final alarm was the absolutely latest I could wake up and be on time. I spent less time getting ready and gave myself a few minutes to do ground work (pushups, planks) for today's Nerd Fitness workout. I have lunges and rows to knock out at work. Thinking of waiting until the after lunch slump to do those to get my body moving and blood flowing. Hopefully it will keep me from dozing or zoning out. Dinner tonight is chicken & dumplings, BF is attempting to make my dumplings since I'm not home to do it. Leftover will be tomorrow's lunch.

On another note:
We put an offer in on a house on Saturday (with 8 acres! And a greenhouse! And a shop for BF!) AND YESTERDAY THEY SAID THEY WERE ACCEPTING OUR OFFER!
We SHOULD get paperwork today from their side. Once signed and submitted, we pay escrow/option fee and get under contract. They're hoping to close as soon as possible (and we aren't against it). Need to get under contract, complete inspections, and then move forward with the financial side of it.
Closing date, according to current contract, is no later than March 4th. If it closes in March, we have to pay mortgage and rent for April/May before our lease here is up. If in February, we pay March/April/May. That will be tight, but doable, I think. Only good thing to closing early? Gives us enough time to paint/update the house to fit our needs prior to moving stuff in AND gives us time to move in and clean the rental house in hopes of getting our deposit back (though not holding breath because the same company that didn't want to deal with veterans in buying the other house? Yeah, they're our rental agency... I trust them to find reasons not to give us deposit. We aren't the only ones who have had issues with them, plenty of non-veteran people dislike them for being horrible and greedy.)
Fingers crossed this goes through! I'm going to go run through my budget AGAIN (I just did yesterday hehehehe)15 -

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
(1/6) =169 Fiton Leg workout, 1 mile walk, under 1000 calories, no evening snacking, YaY!
1/7 = 166.8 FitOn arm workout, under 1200 calories, to cold and windy to do much put quilt. -37 air temp, not sure the wind chill.
1/8 = 167.2 Weather was a fright, blowing snow, zero visibility, I was suppose to get my son at the airport two hours away, after only traveling five miles and seeing two cars in the ditch, and snow drifts across both lanes of traffic, I turned around. He got picked him up and dropped him off at my daughters in town. So anyway some stress going on because I failed my task for the day. Ugh! Over indulged.
1/9 = 166.2 Shoveled, trying snowmobiling a path so I could do chores without sinking, got the snowmobile stuck twice, more shoveling. I don't really like to snowmobile, can't wait for the boys to come home and clean out the yard. Visited friends so a bit more indulging but better at managing it.
1/10 = 168,6 FitOn Arm workout, walked a mile inside. My snacking time is evening, I did break down and had one piece of peanut brittle. I hate to throw it out but I should, though it was not large and I used it as a crutch to not have a caloried beverage or other snacks.
1/11 = 167.2 FitOn Balance and Focus workout.

Goals: HIT.MY.STEP.GOAL!!! 10,000/day; <100 carbs/day; Pelo ride 2-3x/week; end the round lower than what I started it at.
1/7- 193.6 47 net carbs, Pelo ride done, and step goal achieved yesterday. Getting closer to my pre Christmas low!
1/8- 193.4 63 net carbs and almost made the step goal. It was a day spent in the kitchen decorating a cake, so a small loss is great considering.
1/9- 192.2 Only a pound away from my pre Christmas low! 63net carbs yesterday.
1/10-190.2 Well I’m not sure how that happened, but WOOHOO! I even had a beer with dinner last night, which I wasn’t sure how it would affect things. 72 net carbs and a Pelo ride in. Let’s make today great too!!
1/11- 189.8 NEW DECADE!! Even with pizza night and it’s extra carbs last night, I still dropped. I wound up resetting my calorie goal last weekend because the previous 1260/day was starting to take a mental toll. Now with an additional 200 calories a day, it’s much easier. Finished yesterday with 92 net carbs, step goal hit, and strength training done.

R174: I’m just totally unfocused. I plan and execute meals wonderfully then sabotage my good efforts with poor choices in snacks. So this round … no more salty snacks or ice cream after lunch & dinner. AND no more picking up a Snickers when I grocery shop. If I break these bad habits I know that my weight will go down.
🎯Mini Goal: <205 (Repeat until I hit it!)
Exercise Goal for this round: Strength class 4x per week. Walk the dog 100 miles in Jan!
Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
1/7 208.9 2021 cal (-507), 119 net carbs. Strength Training 1 hr. No walk Wednesday. Drove (round trip 2 hrs) to son’s home to deliver something they needed and of course stayed to visit with my new granddaughter. Meals were okay but snacking is still bad … especially since I snuck in a snickers when grocery shopping which is a bad habit I need to break!
1/8 209.7 Walked 1.2 + 1.1 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, 1837 cal (-115), 137 net carbs, 1 glass wine. Really no explanation for the jump on the scale unless it is that I weighed in a couple of hours earlier … didn’t sleep. Snacking was reasonable. Wow yesterday just seemed to slip away from me … a little reading, too much computer time, dropped off old clothing to Women’s abuse shelter, groceries yet again and cooked double batch of jambalaya for family Sunday lunch.
1/9 211.6 No exercise. Drove (6 hr round trip) to New Braunfels for a day trip with DH which was fun attending the IPMS ModelFiesta show, shopping, lunch at GristMill in Gruene historic district on the Guadalupe River. Returning home stopped at my sisters for dinner which had tons of carbs (black beans & sausage w/ rice & cornbread). 2195 cal (-889), 215 net carbs, 1 beer at lunch + 1 wine at dinner.
1/10 210.9 Walked 2.5 miles, 1954 cal (-302), 202 net carbs, AF. All my kids got together to meet our new granddaughter today! Fun times. Jambalaya, salad, strawberries, pineapple and King Cake for lunch then just DH & I shared cheese & olives for dinner.
1/11 208.6 Walked .9 + .3 miles, Strength Training class 1 hr, 1874 cal (-251), 25 net carbs, 96oz water, AF. Grocery shopped AND followed my menu plan for the most part … switched out Wed & Mon menus but still I’m on point regarding the planning and executing. Now to get myself back into the green and not have negative red highlighted number under remaining calories! AND to get the scale going down consistently instead of these awful swings.

1/7- 200.4 (-.6) Ohhh! I thought today might be the day. I did swim yesterday, but it was after lunch and I felt so sluggish. I usually swim after a light breakfast. Still, despite the frigid weather, I did it and was really proud of myself. Fridays are usually the day I have my indulgence meal for the week. Lunch with a friend was cancelled so I may not. I haven’t decided yet. Just so close…
1/8- 200.2 (-.8) Argh! I stayed focused yesterday but was still disappointed. I will have my indulgence meal today, so this will bump up again before the next downward slide. Trusting the process.
1/9- 201.8 (+.8) I had my indulgence meal and enjoyed every bit of it. I’m back on track today and hope to be under 200# later this week.
1/10- 201.2 (+.2) Dropping back down after my indulgence meal. No organized exercise today. I did go to Orange Theory yesterday. Still thrilled with how strong I’m getting after swimming and hiking so much.
1/11- 201.2 (+.2) Expecting a whoosh soon. I’ll be swimming today and getting back into my art studio.

Round 174
Please join us! Starting on 01/07 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 174
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

1/07 - 178.8, ave 178.4
Oops—went a little nuts last night. The cold weather makes me crave fats & carbs! Back with a plan today. I just spent 20 min out throwing balls for Rory—it’s 7F (-14C) feels like -8 (-22). Bracing!
1/08 - 179.4, 178.6
Last minute dinner at friends’ place last night threw a big wrench in my tidy calorie plan. Fun, though! So hopefully back on track today. We got up late, so with late breakfast I may skip lunch, and dinner is planned. Now if I can get back to not snacking…. Off to brave the cold —Rory is full of beans and needs a good run.
1/09 - 179.2, 178.7
Time lag. Yesterday was barely over calorie goal, and today is planned. I’m making vegetarian mulligatawny soup for dinner—yummy. Enjoy your Sunday, everyone!
1/10 - 178.8, 178.7
Brrr. ❄️💨🌨 Otoh, the soup was really delish—DH went back for thirds! Everything restarts today—doggy school for Rory, a writing class I’m teaching—so I’m hoping that will leave less time to sit around and munch. 😁 I’ll miss dinner tonight for Rory’s class, so I’m making salmon patties and roasted sweet potatoes for lunch. That should hold me. Stay warm, those of you in the frigid zone!
1/11 - 178.4, 178.6
I think I’ll make Mondays & Tuesdays very low-cal days for the next 8 weeks—Rory has classes at dinner time Mon and lunch time Tues, so if I can just skip those meals…. I did fine last night. We’ll see how it goes.

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.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable but I’ve been doing it for over 4 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

1/07: 148.6 - Had a few extra bites since I was hungry, but stayed within my calories. Aerobics workout and 3 mile walk.
1/08: 148.4 - I’ve been eating back about half of my exercise calories, but the scale seems to be reflecting maintenance. Perhaps my logging isn’t accurate. These last 15 pounds are tough.
1/09: 148.4 - Same ‘ole, same ‘ole. Good exercise, good eating, good sleep.
1/10: 147.3 - Same workout, same lunch and dinner, so-so sleep.
1/11: 147.7 - Good workout plus an extra walk and ate within calories.

Hi, I’m Karen and am in my 50’s.
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
GW-150
1/7-169-Rode the horse, walked 5 miles and quilted. Long day of work today, so I made a sensible lunch.
1/8-168-Another long day of work and I’ll take a good lunch. Walked with the horse yesterday so we both could get some steps in and he does not walk as fast as I do as we slog through the powdery dirt of the arena. We will try it again today before work.
1/9-169-Walked a mile with the horse, and got ready for work. I work in a quilt shop and I sew samples for the shop. While I was sitting and sewing, my hip got a terrible knot in it. Pretty soon, I was limping around the shop while helping customers. When I got home and told my husband about it, we figured out it was my sciatic nerve. I guess walking in the deep arena dirt/sand is a little too much.......🙄
1/10-DNW-Had been doing stretches and then went to chiropractor yesterday and feel 90% better.
1/11-168-Still not ready to do long power walk, but I have figured out to ride the horse lightly. Need to take MIL to Dr. then work a little.11 -

01/07 208.6 Well not starting out well at all. Did do day # 7 on the workout video.
01/08 208.8 I gotta quit eating that darn bread. Positive thing today is that I did get in another workout #8.
01/09 207.6 No bread! Controlled snacks! Go in extra walking yesterday. It’s amazing what happens when you try.
01/10 206.6 Wow!! What?! I’ll take it. The scale was wonky this morning so it’s probably wrong but we will see tomorrow. The thought today is Discipline. I need to be disciplined in food choices, water and exercise. Got in more walking yesterday so will try that again today. Also did my workout this morning #10.
01/11 206.6 Yay, yesterday was not a fluke. Ate well and exercised. Today I’ve already got in #11 workout and it’s getting easier.

@CamandJarvis Congrats on the offer acceptance. The house sounds absolutely perfect. Are the commutes to work going to be pretty good? Sending out good vibes that all the paperwork and particulars will fall into place exactly the way you need them to. How exciting!
@Chalmation A new decade for you on the scale. Fantastic!5
