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.
**Comments apply to previous day**
SW RND 175 118.0
1/17 119.5 Great Greek salad and 4 oz gyro meat. NO PITA My daily TC were 8g - all from the salad (3 from the meat)
1/18 118.5 Finished Greek salad TC 15, slightly under in protein and over on fat
1/19 118.5 TC 19 (13 from slaw, 4 from broccoli) DH took home COVID test supplied by neighbor who inadvertently exposed us as he has a doctor’s appointment this afternoon. It is negative.
1/20 117.5 TC 12g (6 from 3 pc Lindt 95% cocoa dark chocolate) I seem to not be hungry the last few days. Not fasting intentionally but definitely longer periods of not eating. Went grocery shopping-so many empty shelves and bins! I’ve been averaging just over 2200 steps a day for a couple of weeks but yesterday had 3 times that. Maybe I need to walk a circuit at Walmart every day!
1/21 118.0 TC 21g (half from spaghetti squash!) Veggie carbs can get me!
1/22 118.0 TC ?? Golden Corral last night and girls day today with my sewing friends may cause bump up tomorrow
1/23 119.0 TC ?? All snacks were keto (except 2 handsful of popcorn) and my daughter brought a bottle of Fitvine lower carb wine. It was very good. And I ate 1/4 of a Granny Smith apple with Smucker’s natural peanut butter in the evening. Hoping to keep things moving.😉😉😉
1/24 119.0 TC 1 (from cream) had a successful fasting day. Will break fast this (Monday) afternoon. It’s going to be a long day as I have been awake since 4:15AM.
1/25 117.0 TC 16 Yesterday had message from older daughter (nurse in small hospital) that she has tested positive for COVID again. She had it about 15 months ago. I fasted for over 40 hours and plan to do it again later this week.9 -

@quiltingjaine Sorry to hear your daughter is going through a second round of COVID... wishing her a speedy recovery.4

Day/Weight/Comment
1/17 / 185.4 / Today consisted of work, a walk at lunch, a Peloton ride, some stretching, and a core strength workout. Looking forward to a good round ahead and moving into the low 180's.
1/18 / 184.4 / Another solid Peloton workout done, this time at lunch since it was colder than I wanted it to be for my walk. I am going to take my next FTP test on Thursday morning to see how I've improved. Work is taking a lot of mental energy so I'm thankful for the good habits I've got in place to support me right now.
1/19 / 183.2 / Change of plans on the Peloton FTP test so I ended up doing a training ride today instead. My husband and I are doing the Pelo Fondo event this weekend so I decided to postpone a new FTP until next week.
1/20 / 181.4 / Got out for a short walk at lunch and now I'm waiting for my turn on the Peloton... my husband and I are both obsessed so we have to take turns lol.
1/21 / 183 / So ecstatic the weekend is here! Mostly a rest day today to gear up for the PeloFondo event tomorrow. Hoping to get 100KM done in one day!
1/22 / 185 / Fun day in our house here today as both my husband and I are participating in the PeloFondo event. I rode the bike for over 60KM first thing, and now he's doing his full distance in one go. We have supper out with friends so I'll be finishing my distance around that. Plus, the sun is out so I got a great walk outside with the dog.
1/23 / 185.2 / Mostly a recovery day planned for today, although I will take the pup for a walk. We are watching football and I plan to eat at maintenance for the day.
1/24 / 186 / Got my FTP test done this morning before work and was pleasantly surprised with the increased performance on the bike. My husband is gone for two nights on business so it's quiet around the house. Most of my food for tomorrow is pre-logged already.
1/25 / 183.8 / The rhythms of my days are always different when my husband is travelling as he normally does all the cooking. Up early to make breakfast before work. Will walk at lunch and do my Peloton ride before supper. Enjoy the day all!

I haven’t really been counting my calories. Just “mindful eating” ie, eating when I am hungry, and not stuffing myself. I’m still eating what I like, just more veggies, less processed.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/16 …..193.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/17 …..194.4 ….. (Trend weight 193.0) I just couldn’t get full yesterday and no TMI today. I hope tomorrow is better. Good luck everyone this round!
01/18 …..193.8 ….. Trend weight 193.0) Good meals but too much grazing during the day. Extra hungry for some reason. Today there will be more work on the living room reno project. This project will last several weeks. No room. Furniture covered and in the center. No privacy again. However, the dining room turned out nice and the living room will be an even bigger impact! Glad to be getting some of this out of the way during the cold snowy and icy months. I will need some alone time to leave the house to walk when the weather gets better.
01/19 …..193.2 ….. (Trend weight 193.1) Well, this certainly proves that results, good or bad, are not always reflected the very next morning. I had a bad eating day yesterday for sure. Yet the scale is down. Very low steps, practically no water. Very bad sleep, disrupted. Busy, busy day. Yet the scale is down by slightly over ½ pound. This must be a result of the past couple of days where my meals were more planned and within my limits. I suspect the scale will creep back up because of yesterday’s fiasco. I’ll work on a good day today.
01/20 …..192.6 ….. (Trend weight 193.0) Not a perfect day dietary wise, but more improvements made in choices and quantities. Very little movement as it is still restricted. Only 7000+ steps. I’m going to focus on water today. I haven’t been drinking enough. Glad to see that scale dropped, but also that my trend weight has turned around a tidbit and going down instead of up finally.
01/21 …..193.0 ….. (Trend weight 193.0) More lack of movement yesterday and not as much water as planned. However, my quantities of food were excellent. My choices were very good. Proud of my day except for that late night piece of pumpkin pie with Cool Whip. It was very rich and heavy so the piece was not large but it still did it’s damage apparently or this is a carry-over from a couple of days ago when I overate and just couldn’t get full. Either way, I need to stay consistent!
01/22 …..193.6 ….. (Trend weight 193.1) WTH? I had an excellent (but low exercise/movement) day! I was within calorie. Scale up, trend weight up slightly but fat % the same as yesterday. The only thing I can think of is that I had pasta for dinner although within calorie. Low 5000+ steps. Ugh. Not too much I can do about that yet.
01/23 …..196.0 ….. (Trend weight 193.1) WTH????? Okay, I know how to play this game and THIS doesn’t make ANY sense! I did have Chinese carry-out for dinner brought in by daughter so I expected a bump up even though I drank extra water and I only ate half leaving leftovers for today, but the rest of my day was very good. It has to be the lack of exercise. This project is not yet half finished . My poor grandson is trapped upstairs and I’m trapped down. I’ve got to use the steps today for some extra movement.
01/24 …..194.4 ….. (Trend weight 193.5) Confused. Didn’t understand yesterday’s upswing. I don’t understand today’s loss. Normal dietary days with the calories being nearly the same. Lack of exercise both days. No change in TMI. Go figure! I woke up starving today. Today will be a challenge.
01/25 …..194.4 ….. (Trend weight 193.6) Limited steps again at 7000+. I got in 20 flights of steep stairs according to fitbit though it felt like I did more. Today I will be at the hair dressers for a few hours. If I’m eating too much, perhaps that will stop me! However, that means even less movement today.
01/26 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

I let the weekend run away with me (berry cobbler!), but am back on track. All good!
1/18 - 178.2, 178.6
Yesterday was a good day despite the sleet. Now to rinse and repeat!
1/19 - 177.8, 178.4
Okay, now to keep moving this direction! Feels tortoise slow, but we know who won the race, right? 😁
1/20 - 177.8, 178.2
Another good day. I really wanted a snack while watching a movie, but I refrained. Yay me!
1/21 - 177.6, 178
What’s your favorite soup recipe? I’ve been making soups every Sunday since New Year, and am going to try to keep it up with a new soup each week. So far, I’ve made minestrone, mulligatawny, and cabbage soups. I’m looking for this Sunday’s fare as we “speak.” Just curious about other people’s favs!
1/22 - 178, 177.9
Well, that bump makes no sense—my calories have been below goal for 5 days. Weird. But my average is going down, so yay! Happy Saturday, all!
1/23 - 178.4, 178
Well, this makes no sense since my calories have been below goal for over a week. Salt? Maybe, but we don’t use much salt in our cooking. I did bake oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for DH yesterday and ate one, but that couldn’t do it. Oh, well. Today is soup day—I’m making Moroccan harira soup with chickpeas, green lentils, lots of veggies & a variety of spices. Can’t wait to try it! Now off to play in the snow with the pup, and then I hope to get some writing done on this cold, snowy Sunday. Have a good one, all. Stay warm!
1/24 - 178.6, 178.1
I was feeling very disappointed yesterday, and ate a bit extra (cookies). Still down this morning because my weight is up, so I went to Happy Scale and looked back and realized I’m down 11.4 pounds since 6 months ago, which is nearly 2 pounds a months. Not so bad. Sometimes we need to step back and take the long view. 😁
1/25 - 178.2, 178.1
I confess, I consoled myself with food again yesterday, but didn’t go over maintenance calories. All good!

Hi, I’m Karen and am in my 50’s.
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
GW-149
1/17-167-Got a 4 mile walk in, finished quilting a quilt, just need to get the binding on it.
1/18-169-Walked 5 miles, exercised the horse (he and i are both on a roll). Made a creamy pesto sauce for the chicken breast I baked last night. Roasted cauliflower, broccoli and some sliced purple onion.
1/19-167-No walk, but did ride the horse. Had chicken stew and polenta; the stew already had rosemary in it, so I added some to the polenta and it was good.
1/20-167-Leftovers from last night, so dinner was heavy. The only exercise was riding the horse bareback, which helps core strength. I’ve been watching videos on brain health by Dr. Daniel Amen and he uses a natural approach and it is refreshing
1/21-168-Healthy dinner, but had cheese, then popcorn for a snack in the afternoon. Lots of errands today.
1/22-167-Super windy here, no horse and no exercise. Today will be much better.
1/23-DNW-Spent the day stretching, woke up stiff from the 50 lb. dog tripping me the night before. I feel really good now though! I’ve got a quilt 3/4 done and the sun is out. Last Monday, I started seeds in foil loaf pans that I will transplant from, and a bunch of them are already coming up!!
1/24-169-Cooked fish, just a bit salty.
1/25-166-Ate pretty good and had a long horse ride.8 -

1/17- 199.0 (-1.0) A new low today. Weight loss has slowed a bit, but averaging 1.2 pounds a week (per Happy Scale) I’m glad I log my weight everyday, otherwise I’d think I was plateauing. Orange Theory Fitness was good yesterday. I’m so much stronger. It surprises me every time. I usually go once a week and then swim 2x and hike. I may add one more OTF workout in each week. That might get me losing a little more. No organized exercise today, but I have a busy day so It’s easier to stay on plan.
1/18- 199.2 (-.8) I wore a pair of 16W Levi jeans yesterday after they sat in my closet for almost ten years. I had to remove the tags finally. They were my “someday” jeans. They are a little snug in the waist so I have a little muffin top, but not so tight that I was afraid the button would pop off and injure someone. It felt so good!! Today is swimming and painting in my studio. Hoping for a downward move on the scale tomorrow. In the 190’s for two days in a row is fabulous!! Now just to get all my water in…
1/19- 198.4 (-1.6) Swimming has been my primary go to exercise and from one of my earliest swimming outings in late July where I swam 22 laps in 57 minutes, yesterday I swam 72 laps in 69 minutes. (72 laps is 1800 yards or just over a mile!) In 2022, I’m hoping to improve my speed to 72 laps in 60 minutes or less. Today I’m focused on painting with no organized exercise planned.
1/20- 198.8 (-1.2) I got a lot done yesterday. I love days when things just flow. Today, I’m back to the pool and visiting a friend at her art studio. Making progress on the painting front.
1/21- 197.4 (-2.6) Nice!! Swimming was great yesterday. I have breakfast with a friend this morning and will probably have my indulgence meal for dinner tonight. I’m expecting a bump tomorrow before it falls back off. I’m so excited that every day of this challenge so far has been under 200 pounds. I’m getting there!!
1/22- 198.4 (-1.6) Yesterday was my indulgence meal, so this isn’t unexpected. Today I’m back on track. No organized exercise, but plenty of water.
1/23- 197.6 (-2.4) My sister and I planned to hike today and we took the dogs. There was just a bit too much snow and their feet were getting cold so we ended up leaving and finding another location where there were cleared sidewalks. So, we didn’t burn as many calories, but it was nice to get out. I think I need to buy dog booties for the next time. Really watching what I’m eating today and drinking all my water hoping for a new low weight in the next few days.
1/24- 197.0 (-3.0) My new low! I’m feeling a little more confident that I might have left the 200’s forever. No organized exercise today, so I’ll stay on plan and drink all my water.
1/25- 196.2 (-3.8) Wow. All that time bouncing back and forth the last round was frustrating. Doing my best to stick with it is finally paying off. My plan today is to swim if the snow doesn’t get too bad and to drink all my water, which seem to be a constant challenge. 36.2 pounds to go after losing 67.9 pounds so far. Next baby goal is to get to 70 pounds lost.

1/17 205.8 Well poo. Last week I was down and here we go first day of the new round and I’m up. My own fault, too much salt yesterday. Continuing to do my workouts, #17 done. Onward!!
1/18 207 Another bad day of not eating right. I’ve got to get my head back in the game. It felt great to be down lower now to get there again. I have kept on with the workout’s #18 today.
1/19 206.6 Better #19 done
1/20 206.8 Workout #20 today.
1/21 207.2 #21 I have got to stop this snacking. You can always tell by my numbers.😕
1/22 207.2 Workout #22. Snacking again yesterday. I love crackers and did a lot of emotional eating, we had an unexpected death in the family. Husbands cousin who was 60, possibly an aneurysm. Anyway it always makes you think about what you need to do to live better and longer. Husband and I discussed what “healthy” is and quality of life. 😢
1/23 207 workout #23. Need to drink lots of water today and move.
1/24 207.6 workout #24 Well this round has not been good for me.Back to my terrible snacking habits.
1/25 207.6 workout #25. Well at least it didn’t go up anymore. Husband sees the oncologist today for a follow up appointment.

Hi, I'm Jen!
Female, 5'9"
Highest weight: 08.18.2021 235 lbs
Round 172 SW: 12.17.2021 200.2 lbs
Round 172 EW: 12.27.2021 197.4 lbs (-2.8)
Round 173 EW: 01.06.2022 193.8 lbs (-3.6)
Round 174 EW: 01.16.2022 190.2 lbs (-3.6)
Round 175 GW: 01.26.2022 188 lbs (-2.2)
01/17: 191.2 lbs (+1.0)
Goal this round is to kiss the 190's goodbye and get closer to the weight my drivers license thinks I am!
Have a pinched nerve in my hip so took a rest day yesterday. Missed the gym but got out for a walk.
01/18: 191.0 lbs (-0.2)
Changed my goal for the round from 1.2 to 2.2 pounds. Think it's totally reasonable once I get past this little bump up.
01/19: 190.4 lbs (-0.6)
Getting closer to 180s! Felt more in control this week. I upped my calories 100-200 a day so was worried that loss might slow down, but so far so good. Still trying to figure it out.
01/20: 190 lbs (-0.4)
Finally under my round starting weight! My strength training class was canceled last night so went to the gym and did my own workout. Not as much fun, but I'm proud of myself for not using the canceled class as an excuse to sit on my butt and watch TV.
01/21: 191 lbs (+1.0)
Can't explain this one. Thought I was heading down again. It will come. Just disappointing.
01/22: 191.6 lbs (+0.6)
I don't understand what's going on.
01/23: 190.6 lbs (-1.0)
Guess I'm just going to bounce around a lot before I hit the 180s. Same thing happened before onderland so maybe I'm psyching myself out!
01/24: 190.6 lbs (0.0)
Well. Unless something drastic happens in 2 days, I won't make my goal this round. At this point I'd take staying even!
01/25: 190.2 lbs (-0.4)
Good workout yesterday, under calories and over 2L of water. Hopefully a whoosh soon.

Hi, I’m Kathy.
57, F, 5’8”
Rebooting my lifestyle after several false starts. I need accountability to make sure it gets done.
Return to MFP SW (Dec 2021): 267
HSW: 267
CW: 259.8
UGW for now: 200, then reevaluate
Goal for this round: less than I started with
2022 goals: move more (okay, move some), eat mindfully
Day/Weight/Comment
1/17 259.8 Happy to be in the group! This weekend was tough. I always seem to struggle with getting my water in on weekends. Below on calories every day though, including today. I guess we’ll see what tomorrow morning shows us.
1/18 259.2 Back to work today. Post-COVID I am working completely remotely, which doesn’t help my already sedentary self. Meals are planned. I’m going to try taking a lunch break and doing a workout. I think it will be helpful for my physical and mental health.
1/19 259.0 I did 15 minutes on the elliptical yesterday. Better than nothing, right? Meals for today are planned and I have a bodyweight workout on tap for lunch.
1/20 259.2 Bleh. Ended up running through the grocery store at lunch instead of working out, in preparation for a possible winter storm. Possibly could have counted…but I’ll be back on the elliptical this evening. Meals are planned, drinking water.
1/21 258.6 Feels good to see the scale tick down a bit. Got on the elliptical yesterday and my knee was hurting so stopped after a few minutes. I did something to my knee a couple of months ago and it still bothers me a fair amount. Time for a doctor’s visit, I guess. However, it doesn’t bother me to walk, so walk I shall! My son heads back to college tomorrow so we’ll have his favorite pot roast tonight. All meals planned and hoping for some snow this afternoon/tonight.
1/22 257.8
1/23 258.2
1/24 257.8 Hooray! Sorry for the lack of updates over the weekend – lots going on. I did weigh and log every day, just didn’t post. Kept up my water and got some steps in. Meals for today are planned and logged.
1/25 256.8 Well I don’t know how that happened but I’m not questioning it. 😊I did do really well yesterday and got in a higher than usual number of steps. Plus I made a doctor’s appointment to have my knee looked at in hopes of getting back on the elliptical soon. Meals are planned and logged for today.
1/26
@quiltingjaine I hope your daughter feels better soon and please thank her for her service during this pandemic.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/17: 145.9 - I didn’t expect this, but it feels good to have the scale moving down. Officially lost 25 pounds since starting this journey Sep 7, 2021. Did my normal workout plus a walk, and ate all the way back to my exercise calories. Good sleep.
1/18: 145.5 - Normal workout, but my eating was a little disjointed as we were out the whole afternoon. Stayed within calories.
1/19: 145.5 - Holding steady. Normal workout plus an extra walk. Good eating.
1/20: 145.9 - Last night had homemade pizza. Although within calories, I felt super full.
1/21: 146.2 - Headed in the wrong direction. Lots of cheeses and carbs the last few days.
1/22: 145.5 - Long neighborhood walk (5.72 mi) was the only exercise I got in. High carb, low protein eating. Still finding it hard to get enough protein throughout the day.
1/23: 145.5 - Holding steady again. 10K walk in the neighborhood and stayed within calories. Good sleep.
1/24: 145.1 - Back to my regular workout + walk yesterday and a little on the lower end of calories.
1/25: 145.5 - Normal workouts and ate well. Sleep was a little wonky as I forgot to take my watch off to charge and it woke me up early to say “low battery”. Electronic battery disrupting human battery charging!

'Consistency is the ONLY key to achieving any desired result'
How I stay consistent: MY “WHY’s AND HOW’s List”:
I want to be free from diabetes, heart failure, high blood pressure
I want to walk, hike, shop, explore
I want to prove ‘YES I CAN’
I will educate myself on nutrition, prioritize health over body image and/or weight loss.
I will hold myself accountable, not using any situation of person as a scapegoat
I will pay attention to what I eat, and keep a food log
I will stay physically active
I will keep realistic expectations
I will accept compliments and decide whether input from others will influence me
I will learn to recognize portion size, calories, and when I am full
I will say to myself, “Ok that’s it, I’m done!”
I will focus on the process of developing good habits, rather than a finite result
I will I do the best I can with the tools I have

I was out of town last week, and I haven't been recording my weight. But I'm back today!
The last 2 or 3 rounds, I've ended 0.2 lbs higher than my starting weight. I want to change that trend!
I'm a 5'7" female in SE Michigan. I'm in my 50s.
My goal: be at a lower weight after 10 days than I was at the beginning.
HW: 163 (July 2021) - not the highest ever, but the highest in recent history.
UGW: 142 (but I'll be happy with 150 for now.)

1/17: 192.8 60net carbs but fell short on steps. I also spent time on my feet decorating cookies yesterday, which I’m sure contributed to the uptick. Come on 180s, stick already!
1/18: 191.2 Happy with this! 60 net carbs and step goal achieved. I’m determined to make the most of this week!
1/19: 190.0 Another drop, yes! 70 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. I can sew a new low just around the corner!
1/20: 189.8 Back to my lowest again. I was hoping today would see a new low, but at least it’s something. 66 net carbs, strength training, and steps done.
1/21: 188.8 Yay new low! Had a pretty good day yesterday. 50 net carbs, steps in, and Pelo ride done.
1/22: 190.0 Boo! I’m sure it was either spending so much time in the kitchen on my feet, hormones, or a combination of both.
1/23: 190.4 Again, spent more time than usual on my feet on the kitchen, but Im sure hormones are playing a part too. 61 net carbs.
1/24- 188.8 Quite shocked by this drop today! My calves were so swollen last night, I was sure that I wouldn’t be down any. 38 net carbs for the day and step goal achieved!
1/25- 188.4 Another surprising drop! I thought surely the monthly hormonal shift would’ve kicked in by now, but I’ll take it!
66 net carbs and step goal achieved.

Goal for this round: Maintain weight while continuing to focus on strength training and running
Previous days1/25 Did not weigh this morning. Had my DXA scan today and the results were interesting to see. The percentages were healthy but I definitely want to build more muscle/get leaner. I know I can do it because I was there before and annoyingly let the weight creep up. My birthday and the holidays really got me this year. Any ways, I have to go check on my chicken in the pressure cooker and get ready for yoga tonight. I did some strength work this morning and got another quick swim in.
1/17 Did not post.
1/18 122.4 My goal for next round is to post every day! Ran 6.2 miles this morning. Last night my husband and I went to play racquet ball at the local court near us. It was so much fun! We also did some research and there’s a gym near us that offers unlimited use of their courts, so we are going to look into joining the gym instead of paying $35 an hour at the club we went to last night. The gym has squash courts, but we’ll just learn to play that instead. I’m very excited because the gym has a couple pools as well, so I might get back into swimming as a cross training activity for myself. I used to swim in high school and loved it. I wasn’t fast by any means but it’s such a good workout for a no impact exercise! Food has been good all day to day and have meatloaf prepped and ready to throw in the oven for tonight. We got Thai last night for dinner so I’m working with post strength training water retention along with Thai food water retention. I feel good regardless, so that’s what’s important, right?
1/19 122.0 I did a 50 minute spin bike ride this morning and did my strength workout on my lunch. Breakfast was toast with chai tea, lunch was cheese, crackers, crunchy chickpeas and some raisins, and dinner will be leftover meat loaf with some roasted potatoes. I have to pick up our CSA tonight before dinner, so it’ll be nice to have an easy dinner ready to go. I think we might try and play squash tonight before we pick up the CSA too. Happy Wednesday!
1/20 121.6 Playing squash was a success last night! It wasn’t pretty to see me play but it was fun and my husband didn’t lose his patience with me lol! So, it was a win win! I ran 6.4 miles this morning and the last three were fast/hard miles. My Garmin watch gave me 40 recovery hours before my next hard workout. So, I’ll do a leisurely spin bike ride tomorrow morning to give my body a break. Food was pretty good yesterday too. Today I had my usual toast for breakfast, lunch will be the last of the meat loaf and dinner will most likely be steak and veggies or something a little easier like chicken tenders if we end up playing squash again tonight.
1/21 Did not post.
1/22 Didn’t weigh this morning. I did a recovery ride yesterday on the spin bike and resting completely today. I’ve had a sugar bug the past couple of days with eating too many caramels (finally gone) and Lindt truffles (almost gone) that are around. Not sure why the spike in sugar cravings though, usually I can look right at them and not be phased. Food has been good today though.
1/23 Forgot to weigh this morning. My husband and I woke up super early and couldn’t fall back to sleep, so we decided to get up and go to the gym to swim some laps. Being in the pool again and swimming with intention felt so good after over a decade of not doing it. Afterward I used the sauna to get rid of some water retention that has been lingering and then we went home and had breakfast (2 eggs with homemade cinnamon raisin walnut toast). Then, we decided to go back to the gym for an 8:30 AM yoga class. The best part of the class was my husband at the end saying he hasn’t sweat like that in a long time and him admitting that yoga really is a workout. HAHA! The class was also lovely in general and I plan on taking it again. We also adventured to HMART after the class and we bought some ingredients to make beef lo mein for dinner tonight. It’s been a solid Sunday so far 😊.
1/24 121.6 Hoping to see a drop in the next five days after this part of my cycle passes. I’m also starting a new macro configuration with my diet to see how this changes things. I plan to work my way back down to 115 over the next few months because I’m not the biggest fan of 120/121. My goal is to maintain my muscle mass though because I really like how my muscles are starting to pop in the upper body and parts of my lower body. I just don’t like the slow weight creep that’s been happening. So, as I lean out I know the muscles will start popping even more. The new plan is about 1900ish calories with 40% carbs (to help with the endurance/cardio work I do), 25% protein (120g about 1g per pound of body weight) and 35% fat. So, we shall see how this works, right now I’m burning about 500-900 calories depending on the day’s activities. Ran 5 miles this morning and swam 1,025 yards after work. I was going to do strength tonight, but my husband wanted to swim so we shared a lane instead and swam. I’ll do my strength tomorrow morning and then some sort of cardio afterward. I also signed up for a yoga class tomorrow night because I feel like a kid in a candy store with all these options at our new gym.

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.
@lindsaysrat I'm so sorry to hear that your kitty passed. (((hugs)))

I’m 5’7, 29 years old, female. I follow a lifting
program and would like to decrease my body fat while maintaining muscle mass.
My starting weight in Oct 2021 was 156.6
Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day, 20-30 minutes of cardio on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days), complete all 6 programmed strength training sessions during my 4 days off per week

Previous Posts1/17 Had a relatively lazy day. Planned meals for this week and made a grocery list. Did a deadlift, squat, pullup workout this morning and took a walk. I made a Korean soup (doenjang chigae) for dinner and it was really tasty but pretty sodium heavy. Reload week for strength, but the programming never feels that much easier than the normal weeks hah. I bet my legs are sore tomorrow after all of the split squatting I did tonight. I’ve been feeling pretty hungry, so I’ve relaxed my calorie goal a little and am eating back more exercise calories. Protein: 146
1/18 workouts ✅✅✅ super sore today. “Reload” weeks on the programming are always like that. tomato garbanzo beans stew with seitan for dinner. Protein: 144
1/19 still super sore. Did a weighted step up, shoulder press, bent over row workout this morning. Very cold and windy otherwise, so didn’t get out and walk. Strength was programmed as an active recovery day but included a lot of pull-ups and dips. Farro with sautéed mushrooms and spinach and a gochujang sauce. Back to work tomorrow. I got a call back about the surgery job and I’ll need to think about it. I would work Monday-Friday 5:30-2 + occasional on call. Protein a bit on the low side: 113
1/20 work 1/2. Not a bad day in Covid-land. I think I’m going to need to buy new scrubs in small cause my pants are about to fall off.. especially when I’m wearing the PAPR. Kimchi stew with tofu for dinner. Yummy! Protein: 121
1/21 work 2/2. Still had a bad headache today but otherwise feel fine. Idk if I should get a Covid test tomorrow just to be safe or not. Thai-ish soup with seitan for dinner. Protein: 126
1/22 did a snatch and box jump workout and then a push press, kb swing, push-up workout this morning. We cleaned up the vegetable garden since none of the hardy greens stood up against the deep freezes this winter. I forgot that I left some potatoes in the dirt and dug up a ton of those. Otherwise went grocery shopping (I hate running errands on the weekends. Too many people. It really makes me appreciate my work schedule) and made broccoli, pea, edamame fried rice with tempeh for dinner. Protein: 127
1/23 Picked up an extra shift for a big bonus. It was a good day.. I just regret missing a day of lifting. Depending on how the rest of the week goes I might try to make it up. Back to work tomorrow. My husband used the potatoes we dug up to make one of our favorite recipes. It’s like a gochujang potato rosti in a Dutch oven and you bake eggs into it. Extra delicious with fresh garden potatoes. Protein: 125
1/24 work 2/2, now 3 days off. Yummy roasted eggplant tomato soup with seitan for dinner. Protein: 119

Last spring I dug out several new flower beds which was super hard work.. I scheduled an appointment with a landscaping company to give me a quote on doing a couple new ones. Now that I know the labor that goes into it I might be ready to pay up. Got good workouts in this afternoon and felt really good on squats. I got 185x8 which is a decent squat for me. Sweet potato, kale, egg scramble for dinner. Protein: 125

Round 173 #1 (SW 253, FW 249)
Round 174 #2 (SW 249, FW 246.5*)
Round 175
1/17 246.5 I was extra surprised by the number on the scale this morning. Hopefully, my Saturday of sinful calories won’t catch up with me tomorrow. 😂 Back in school with masks today, and 8 of the 15 rooms in my building are on modified quarantine status, I’m just waiting for my turn. I’m grateful parents and students didn’t put up a fight about wearing masks.
1/18 248.5 There’s my weekend weight! Staying on track with calories today should help me get back down.
1/19 247 There it is again, 247, my body seems to want to hold on to this one. 🙃 I hit my protein and fiber goals while staying under calories today, so maybe tomorrow is the day I kiss it good buy forever!
1/20 245.5 A new low! I planned my calories today because I’m only human and it's half-priced Sonic Corn Dogs Day. I stayed under calories, but I was also under on protein and fiber.
1/21 245.5 holding steady, but went over on calories a bit. I was so hungry all day even with 150 grams of protein, so I indulged in some pudding for desserts and I’ll take the extra calories.
1/22 - 244.5 Hey! 2 pounds down! I’ve been noticing that my 5-week prediction hasn’t been dropping as much as it used to, and I know I’ll need to be making some more changes soon. So I started researching gym options in my area. I know I need to lower my calorie goal, but I’d rather start working off some more than trying to consume less. Eventually, I’ll have to do both, but one step at a time!🙂
1/23 243 This is encouraging since I’ve really struggled the past couple of days with wanting to stress eat, teaching seems to be the only plate I have that’s full and still being piled upon… sigh. I went ahead and lowered my daily calorie goal to 1,900 so I’m hoping to keep seeing the scale drop. Have a great week everyone!
1/24 243 Today was a busy and stressful Monday, so much so that when was packing up to leave school at 6:09 I realized I only drank half of my breakfast smoothie. So I enjoyed some gelato after dinner instead. 😆 I’m guessing the extra sugar late tonight will have an effect tomorrow. Other than that, I was under calories, but just barley missed my protein and fiber goals.
1/25 244 No surprise here, but I’m also worried for another jump tomorrow. We have over 6” of snow (practically unheard of in SWKS) so I celebrated our snow day tomorrow with a extra chicken fajita. With all the changes I’ve made in the last 7 months, I still turn to food for my feelings. Does anyone have a suggestion to overcome this, a book maybe, for some help/guidance?

Round 175 (107th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine. Here we go again, I prove time and time again, round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow! Would like to lose a pound this round.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

SW: 136.2
Day/Weight/Comment
1/17 136.2 – 11.8 miles walked yesterday, calories & all macros in credit.
1/18 137.2 – 11.03 miles walked, calories under, but on reflection not the best choices as carbs & fat 19 & 15g over respectively.
1/19 138.6 – ugghhr !! bad choices yesterday, big binge . 9.92 miles walked yesterday.
1/20 138.2 -13.25 miles walked yesterday & an hours yoga. Good food choices, calories & all macros well under. Should try to remember it takes twice as long to undo a binge than to do it !
1/21 137.8 – good choices yesterday, 288 calories & 108 carbs over due to no structured walking; travelled up to spend day with DD & little DGSs – we played !! It was wonderful!
1/22 139.6 – oh my giddy aunt!!! Should have expected this really, Indian meal out with friends last night; high sodium/fat/carbs which are difficult to calculate calories etc. & also ate after 9 pm. 8.25 miles walked yesterday including to and from the restaurant.
1/23 138.8 – 9.45 miles walked yesterday, calories 5 over, but carbs 45g over, need to work more on carbs now I think.
1/24 137.2 – 6.58 miles walked yesterday, calories well under, carbs just 8g over, all other macros in credit.
1/25 137.2 – 9.9 miles walked, calories well under, carbs 10g over.
1/26 138 – 11.82 miles yesterday. Disappointed with this number as calories under, however, carbs were 62g over, must try to get processed carbs lower. Overall a gain of 2.8 pounds gained, not good, I know I'm saying it again, but I must get back to consistency in the next few rounds. I helped DS together with other DSs to move last of her belongings out of her old house to her new & a BIG clean up; today I am still aching hoping yoga this morning will ease some of those muscles!! See you next round.
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE. Keep calm – Covid is still out there take care, we're still in this together!
