Day/Weight/Comment
1/27: 145.5 - Holding steady. Normal workout and eating
1/28: 144.8 - Happy to get a mini-whoosh! Normal workout. Went a little higher in calories than normal though within budget, but went over goal in protein and fat and under in carbs.
1/29: 144.8 - A late afternoon workout, but got it in. Pizza and wine for dinner, but stayed in calories
1/30: 144.8 - Holding steady. Normal workout, ate up to my limit including exercise calories
1/31: 144.8 - Holding steady. Normal workout plus a walk. Ate a little more than normal, but within calories. Had a hard time falling asleep.
2/1: 144.0 - Officially one pound below my driver's license weight! Haven't been there in about 12 years. Normal workout, eating lots of fiber and protein, but still a lot of carbs. Was able to fall asleep fine, but then woke up in the middle of the night and had trouble falling back to sleep
2/2: 144.4 - Dinner was a bit salty so hoping that was part of the blip. Other than that, everything else normal: workout, walking, eating, sleeping
2/3: 144.0 - I hope this holds since this is my goal weight for the round. Did an extra long workout but I also ate back almost all of those exercise calories. Good sleep.
2/4: 145.5 - Hmm, don’t know what to say. Normal workout, eating and sleep.

@SModa61 I certainly understand your frustration! After the mess we had with Carnival, trying to cancel our cruise for October! After a week of multiple unreturned calls, we finally got a human who returned the call. The cancellation and full refund were handled in a matter of a few minutes. Trying to cancel online yielded a message that we were not eligible for a refund.

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. I’ve been doing it for over 4.5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

1/27 118.0 Spent all day yesterday in quilt guild meetings, ate 2 not fancy salads - dinner “Greek” salad (different than our regular places) was lacking just about everything it did have some gyro meat, ate 1/4 tough pita, had 1/3 Granny Smith apple with Smucker’s Natural peanut butter.
1/28 117.0 Not much appetite yesterday 🤷♀️ I’m all out of sync today. Trying to cancel cruise for the upcoming October due to vaccine status requirements.

1/31 117.5 MUCH TMI success yesterday LOL
2/1 117.5 Shopping and driver’s license renewal today
2/2 117.0 Shopping didn’t happen. Someone hit DH’s car, speeding and passing on the right on a one lane road! No injuries. Couldn’t get Real ID because I haven’t seen my Social Security card since I last worked. The number is printed on a document from SSA but that wasn’t good enough. DHS/Federal rules do not require social security info for Real ID so it must be a Nevada rule which is interesting since they require NO ID to vote in this state!

27: 200.2 🥚 Normal fluctuation in downward trend + hormones, possible small daily increases for about 5 more days
28: ???
29: DNW 🥚 Away from home overnight.
30: 203.3 🥚 Friday evening through Saturday evening were quite indulgent. Late night snacks while drinking and multiple fast food meals aren't usually my thing, but I had a fun weekend and know the bump up is temporary. Back on track today.
31: 202.5 🥚 Calories and carbs were great yesterday but not enough water. Still feeling bloated, likely a combo from the weekend and hormones.
❄️🌨️🧣February 🧣🌨️❄️
1: 198.7 🥚 Well, I guess my weekend gains are gone! I'm seeing today that my entries are messed up. I somehow managed to miss Friday weigh in and entered Saturday's DNW for Friday. Maybe I grabbed the wrong entry to add to. Idk 🤷🏽
2: 198.9 Not enough water yesterday. Used my weighted hula hoop for about 10 minutes, and boy is my stomach bruised. Muscles feel a little sore, but not as bad as I expected.
3: 198.9
4: 198.9 Whew! Another little plateau. Better than gaining though.

Sounds like a very similar problem. Glad yours worked out. (I'm thinking of smuggling the scale in the car so I can properly check in during the travel. :P )4 -

Day/Weight/Comment
1/27 / 179.8 / Fun to start with a taste of the new decade. Getting my walks in, riding the Peloton, and eating nourishing and delicious food. Happy the weekend is almost here!
1/28 / 180.4 / Busy work day, slightly shorter Peloton ride, dinner, and then a video call with my MIL for nearly three hours. Time to rest!
1/29 / 179.6 / Sun is shining so we're going to walk to the grocery store for a couple things for brunch. I have the dentist today, I want to do some core strength, and we're going to a movie tonight. Dinner and my popcorn already pre-tracked so my day can work around it.
1/30 / 180 / Fun day yesterday... one shorter walk and a long one where I ran into a friend. Hubby and I had a food court dinner and went to see A King's Man. Off to snowshoe in the mountains today.
1/31 / 180.2 / Another Monday is here. I am donating blood right after work so staying hydrated and nourished beforehand is key!
2/1 / 178 / Was back on the bike today before work. Snowy here so I'm going to try Peloton's shadow boxing on my lunch break instead of my usual walk.
2/2 / 178.4 / Still cold here today. Started the morning with another Peloton boxing session. Plans for lower body strength and hopefully a bike ride. Gotta get through work first!
2/3 / 179.2 / New 45 PR on the Peloton yesterday and a yummy steak dinner. It's still cold here but it's going to warm up in time for the weekend. Yay!
2/4 / 179.6 / Weather has warmed enough that I'll get out for a walk at lunch. Did a length strength workout yesterday and I'm feeling it today, in a good way! Hoping to do a shorter Peloton ride tonight as well.

2/04 - 151.7 - Likely remnants from Chinese food dinner as well as heavy dinner at Fam's last night. Also had a glass of wine last night. Water goals have continuously been met so I'm not too worried. Working on getting back on track food-wise today. Not quite sure what I'll make up for lunch, but I have a zucchini to make up before it goes bad. I'm not particularly hungry yet so I've got time. Need to do my NF workout as I've procrasted it to the point of not giving myself opportunity to do it. The boys running to the store after they eat so I'll knock it out then and postpone lunch a little for what is likely a later dinner at Fam's (why do they eat so dang late!?) Just finished my virtual appointment. Doc is sending me a continuous glucose monitor to track what's going on. My labs are all over the place and with a very strong genetic predisposition, we are working on stopping it before it becomes prediabetes or full-on type2 diabetes. Everything else is quite good. Glad she's not waiting for a diagnosis to help me like most docs do.
2/05
Previous Day's Comments1/27 - I'm back. Kind of. I'll try to make summary quick (still long, lots to catch up on): 1) Mammogram and ultrasound confirmed doc's suspicions that the lump is just dense tissue. Whew. No higher risk than any other 30 year old. Resume annual mammograms at age 40 unless something else presents. HUGE weight off my shoulders 2) Mom discharged from hospital after a week last night. Still not 100% but no surgery. On antibiotics still, but her body was able to heal naturally so hoping the trend continues from home. Providing her with plenty of research to help avoid another issue like this (plus it's hereditary, like so much else, so I'm taking precautionary steps to avoid as I've also already had a perforated intestine, just not nearly as bad as hers) 3) House is still moving. We were able to get a contractor out to submit a quote. With that quote, we negotiated higher closing cost on their end to "pay" for the repairs. The inspector is amending report for VA to state the repairs are pending and should be good. He was informed late yesterday so hopefully by tomorrow that'll be complete. Water test is still pending, but our Agent said it could take up to a week (samples submitted Monday) 4) BF's oldest son is having problems with his mom and she's now fearful of what comes next so tomorrow he flies down to live with us. This is at least the rest of the school year and through summer break. Will reassess closer to next school year whether he goes back to his mom's with his brother and sister at end of summer. He's never acted out here so I have all the faith he will be much better here and can relax into a happy life again. 5) I'm off track quite a bit. Just trying to maintain at this point, though I'm happy to see the scale has dropped in the last couple days. Been successful at not stress snacking too much (just a quick snack of almonds or peanut butter when I'm feeling hungry. Just enough to hold me over until my next meal.) Hopefully with the lessening of stress, my fatigue will fade enough that I can push through a bodyweight workout. They aren't horribly exhausting, but I've been struggling to do no physical activity and not feel like I could fall asleep standing up. Today is better already so thinking tomorrow I will schedule a workout, even if it's just a soothing yoga and not my normal bodyweight strength workout. One thing that has been a success? Through this group, I've learned to listen to my body and not overwhelm it for the sake of "progress". Sometimes progress is taking a step back to allow things to calm down before picking back up. So thank you all for teaching me it's okay to not be perfect. I'm in a much better place now than I would be if I hadn't learned that lesson and went through this. Coming from a recovering perfectionist
1/28 - Sigh, no TMI for 2 days now. I feel the heaviness, but don't look or feel bloated, so that's all I can think of. Food yesterday was more balanced than it has been in a week, so I'm sure my body is simply re-adjusting as well. Water was good, per usual. Workout complete yesterday. Not so sore today, but I can feel it a tad. BigBro (as I will refer to BF's oldest son) will be home around dinner, assuming his flights have no delay. I have to take pup to get follow up shots, nails trimmed, and ears looked at (worried she has ear infection) this morning and then go grocery shopping, hopefully early enough to miss the weekend stupidity. We're guessing Fam will have us over for dinner as we usually do on Fridays. Particularly since they adore the kids and are excited to see BigBro. If not, I'm coming up with a backup plan for dinner for us. Mom is doing TONS better now she's home. Environment really does play a factor in it all. BF's sister is in ICU. Stage 4 brain AND lung cancer, plus a blood clot in her lung. New inspection complete with the "pending repair" status has been submitted to loan manager. Sellers agreed to shock well and get new sample which should be cleared today or Monday. Waiting on that and appraisal now. Whew.
1/29 - DNP
1/30 - DNP
1/31 - Struggling with TMI. Some yesterday, but not enough. Water has been good but food hasn't been ideal. This weekend was a bit all over the place with trying to get BigBro settled in. Today I promised myself I'd do my NF bodyweight workout since I have no excuse to skip it since it's a work day. Plus, its raining and supposed to storm all day anyway so I'm not finding excuses to be outside and procrastinate a workout. Gearing up for a cold front Thursday with wintery mix of ice and snow. On good front: appraisal came back higher than what we requested loan for. Water stuff should be done by Wednesday, and things moving along. Mom is progressing in recovery much much better now she's home. Two huge weights off my shoulder. I apologize if I'm intermittent over the next month or so as this house thing happens. If everything goes somewhat smoothly, we are hoping to close, paint, and move in by end of February. We have a guy that would love to take over our lease and move in, so if that works out, we're hoping he can take over rent in March.
2/01 - Some TMI, but not quite enough. Completed workout yesterday. Also ran to the store for some essentials to get us through the forecasted winter weather (ice accumulations expected). Texas isn't used to that, so best be prepared for any closures that may come along. Work is busy busy busy, especially being in power generation during an anticipated winter storm. Last year was a rude awakening so this year we're hitting it hard with preparations (and all the upgrades we've done since last year's storm). Still working to get BigBro settled in and enrolled in school. House is standstill on our end while all the paperwork is completed (and awaiting the final water test results). Not much else to report but hanging in there.
2/02 - No idea. I feel heavier, but don't look any more bloated. Bodies are weird. For Imbolc, I baked a lemon glazed zucchini bread (first attempt at both zucchini bread and glaze). It turned out really well. I had a small piece of overcooked side, but not much (I had to try it before I gave a slice to BigBro!) Workout due today which I'll get to here in a bit. Winter storm supposed to hit overnight with ice, sleet, and snow, but we may get some rain later this afternoon if the forecast is even somewhat accurate. Not much else to report. I have almost this entire 10 days thread worth of catching up on everyone's posts which I'm excited about as soon as I complete this post. Not much else to report.
2/03 - Chinese food last night. Despite plenty of water, I just couldn't match the sodium. BigBro and BF wanted sushi before we got iced/snowed in. It's not too bad today, just cold. We did have heavy sleet this morning, but it doesn't seem to really have caused too much an issue. Going to Fam's house for dinner tonight, apparently. Not sure what's on the menu, but I almost never do until it's on the table. Not sure what's in the plans this weekend, I suppose it's dependent on weather/road conditions.

2/2. 139.4. My morning routine changed a bit yesterday and I didn't get to posting my weight, doing it now. Got a half a foot of snow yesterday; most of the snow from a few days ago had melted, at least off of the roads. Getting low on lettuce, but have a couple more days worth (my husband and I have salads for dinner (and have for three years!)). We occasionally have soup for dinner and I'm planning to make some homemade soup tomorrow or so. I'm making a sausage corn chowder. I don't know if it was this thread that someone mentioned this kind of soup, but we''ll try it out. Here's to staying warm!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/26 …..194.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/27 …..196.8 ….. (Trend weight 194.0) Nice clean teeth after the dentist yesterday. Apparently I used them too much afterward. Wow! What a jump on the scale. Travel always yields too much money spent, lots of car driving and sitting and restaurant food. Working on that today!
01/28 …..196.4 ….. Trend weight 194.2) Slightly better on the scale this morning. It sure comes off slower than it goes on! I’m going to try to push water today. I am getting a new refrigerator delivery today with install going in tomorrow after it sits for 24 hours. I am hoping for a full kitchen gut and remodel sometime this year. Probably in better weather and not in the dead of winter due to supply and how far we are from everything. Too many trips in winter.
01/29 …..195.2 ….. (Trend weight 194.3) Better choices. Quantities meh. New fridge won’t be in today. He measured wrong and the fridge is ¾” too high for my bridge cabinets that are attached to a pantry cabinet. That means the cabinets have to come down and either the bulk head redone or everything moved but real estate is a precious commodity in that kitchen. It’s a very large house but the kitchen has a horrible footprint and the kitchen is pretty small. I am not real happy right now. The fridge is sitting in the middle of my back foyer room and my living room is still not done. Sad face on the house issues but smiley face on seeing another drop on the scale. I’m working on more progress but also getting that trend weight to turn around.
01/30 …..197.6 ….. (Trend weight 194.6) Spiraling out of control. Low movement (only 4000+ steps). Pizza, real chocolate candy (not sugar-free). Milk (lactose bloats me). All the wrong choices. I could have done so much better. I did drink a TON of water. Otherwise, bad, bad day. Sadly, I deserve this.
01/31 …..197.0 ….. (Trend weight 194.9) In the right direction! Today I will try not to say one thing, then do another.
02/01 …..197.0 ….. (Trend weight 195.1) No change. There’s that!
02/02 …..197.4 ….. (Trend weight 195.3) Very early weigh-in after 3.5 hours of sleep thanks to DGS. Good meals and quantities yesterday. Bad snacks. No exercise or movement. No TMI. But I’m not giving up!
02/03 …..195.8 ….. (Trend weight 195.4) Okay that is better. TMI helped and my choices were much better. Tonight is Mexican food. Tostadas made at home. Mexican can be high sodium so I am pushing water today and watching my other meals very carefully.
02/04 …..196.4 ….. (Trend weight 195.5) There is that high sodium Mexican food showing up. No leftovers so that helps. Daughter is bringing dinner from out=of-town. I have no idea what it will be. Handyman progress is slow today. He’s removing a million nails from upper and lower mouldings so he can re-install. Paint is done. Room has to be put back together and all electrical plugs and toggles and plates changed to white. Next week he starts building some walls between the livingroom and dining room to tie in the two projects he’s been working on for awhile. Off I go to supervise, dust, and start putting some decorative back in place. I can’t wait to get the sheet off the pic window and the drapes back up. I want my privacy back!

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.

Round # 43 for me!
SW: 373.8 (5100 steps daily step goal, go to bed by 11:30, no eating out or junk food 6 days a week)
Day/Weight/Comment (previous day steps)
1/27 373.8 – 5993 steps. Under calories, got steps and walk in and was in the bed on time.
1/28 374.8 – 5358 steps. Under calories but I still ate terribly. Snacking all day and not hungry and ate back movement calories. No walk so not surprised by gain. And the thing about me when I gain, it takes a minute to drop. But I am good, I know my body. I knew the carbs would show up today. I am going to take my calories off the MFP preset calories for my weight and put to 1200 to 1500 calories. I have not decided which one yet. How many of you use MFP recommend calories for your weight? I don’t want to set my calories too low. But I think I am going to start with 1200 and if I need to increase I will. It is snowing here in Chicagoland, and I love watching the snow. Snow is a love hate relationship! Lol And we have had a snowy January so far and more on the way….
1/29 373.0 – 7094 steps. I got in a Leslie Sansone DVD yesterday and a good calorie day with 1200 calories and eating back some exercise calories and some to spare. In bed on time and got over 7 hours of sleep even though I got up in the middle of the night to listen to the end of the finals of the Australian Open between Danielle Collins and Ash Barty. I am going to go to bed early tonight so I can get up about 6:00 to finish the end of the men’s final
1/30 373.0 – 5489 steps. I did get in another workout with DVD. Had another zoom memorial yesterday and today. The memorial today was a high school friend who died age 57 from complications caused from COVID. It was a very nice zoom memorial. Both were very uplifting and encouraging.
1/31 373.0 – 5534 steps.
2/01 375.0 – 5152 steps. I have been struggling. Fast food challenge over and no desire to go out and get any. Too much snacking and carbs. Doing a little better today. Logging it all. Back in the red Not worried, going to get back on it. Tomorrow is a new day and another Zoom memorial. I am going to take 2 hours personal time to attend. A close friends Mother passed who caught COVID in an assisted living facility.
2/02 375.0 – 6531 steps. Good day yesterday. Memorial was nice today. I got in a short walk yesterday also.
2/03 375.0 – 5783 steps.
2/04 375.0 – 5370 steps. Well, it doesn’t look like I am going to lose this round. ☹ One more day to see. But I am ok with it. Can’t be perfect. I am going to get in a workout today for sure to see if I can at least maintain or lose some of gain.

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.4 -

1/27- 198.0 (+2.0) I had my indulgence meal last night and loved every bite. I’m back on track today hoping to finish this ten day’s strong. Swimming was good yesterday. No organized exercise today, just happily painting away. I put on some of my favorite old comfortable sweatpants last night to wear to bed and they are falling off.
1/28- 198.0 (+2.0) I should start dropping tomorrow. Last night I was sitting in one of my chairs with my feet next to me when I realized I could easily reach my foot. And so I experimented with my flexibility and…woohoo!! I will be able to paint my toenails easily now. A totally unexpected and surprising NSV. Now, where is that polish?
1/29- 197.6 (+1.6) Slowly coming down after my indulgence meal the other day. It will drop further in the next few days. I swam yesterday for an hour. It felt good. I discovered, at least according to my Apple Watch, that I burn more calories swimming breaststroke instead of free style. I guess it makes sense since I use larger movements on breaststroke. So, I’m alternating. Today is Orange Theory Fitness and lots of water. Hoping for a swoosh tomorrow.
1/30- 198.0 (+2.0) Had a great workout yesterday at Orange Theory and spent the rest of the day painting. I was within calories, but definitely didn’t get enough water. A little disappointed, but expecting the loss to come soon.
1/31- 196.4 (+.4) Phew! I must have had a lot of salt in my indulgence meal a few days ago. Finally close to my low weight. No organized exercise today, just staying on plan.
2/1- 196.6 (+.6) What a tease the scale is sometimes. Today I’m swimming and plan to be warm and at home by the time the snow begins this afternoon. Hoping to finish one of my bigger paintings today!
2/2- 196.0 (0) I’m finally back to my starting weight this round, which is disappointing. I was hoping to be down more this late into the challenge. I’ve been eating all my exercise calories back and snacking more. I’ll be making my healthy breakfast burritos today and some pumpkin protein muffins so I have healthier stuff to grab. I find if I eat a more calorie dense breakfast, I have a hard time staying under my calorie goals. Onward and downward.
2/3- 195.6 (-.4) Okay…finally down a little from my starting weight. It’s about four below here in Denver, so I’m planning to stay home and paint. That means I need to be extra careful staying on plan today.
2/3- 197.6 (+1.6) I ended up meeting a friend for lunch yesterday and had my indulgence meal. I’m not surprised to be up. I think I’m getting tired. I may need to add in a maintenance break where I up my calories just to maintain for a week or two. I’m nine months in and took a week long maintenance break in October. My intention was to do it again last month, but forgot all about it. Today, I had friends over to sculpt. We made healthy food. I made Healthy Taco Soup from Kim’s Craving. It was fabulous. We also had fruit and a salad. I’m over my calories a bit, but really enjoyed the day.

Goals: HIT.MY.STEP.GOAL!!! 10,000/day; <100 carbs/day; Pelo ride 2-3x/week; end the round at a lower weight than what I started it at.
1/27- 189.0 Well I knew the hormones would hit soon. Here they are. 75 net carbs yesterday and step goal hit. Now to just keep chugging along through the next week or so of the hormonal stall.
1/28- 186.8 Well, my body is not following its usual pattern this time around! Usually by now, I’m in the thick of a 10 day stall, not dropping 2 lbs overnight! I’ll take it though, that’s for sure! 69 net carbs yesterday, steps hit, and Pelo ride done.
1/29- 187.4 Kind of expected that. The hormones had me nibbling for most of the day. It’s all good though. Today will be better! 66 net carbs and step goal hit.
1/30- 186.8 Back down! 47 net carbs and step goal hit.
1/31- 187.8 Expected, after a snack sesh last night. Back on the train today!
2/1- 188.6 Well I’m not entirely sure what happened. I’m thinking it was either spending a decent amount of time in the kitchen again yesterday, or hormones have just shown up late. 50 net carbs and steps in. I’ve been slacking on the strength training, but today I will make up the missed session from yesterday.
2/2- 188.4 I really wasn’t sure what to expect after a carby dinner at MIL’s last night. 111 total net carbs yesterday by my best estimation. I didn’t hit my steps, nor did I get my strength training in, but I did hop on the Pelo last night after we got home from dinner. I think ultimately that’s what made the difference. So from now on, I think I’ll make it a point to ride the Pelo any time we have dinner plans like that.
2/3- 188.8 I had a great day yesterday. Did well with food, finishing at 61 net carbs. Got my steps in and finally did a strength training session after having slacked off since last week. Not sure why the uptick. I’m kind of annoyed about it. Oh well. I’ll keep on keeping on.
2/4- 187.0 Ok feeling a little better this morning. Hopefully tomorrow will bring a new low. 47 net carbs, Pelo ride done, and steps done.5 -

1/27 Did a snatch, renegade row, clean, push-up workout this morning. I interviewed with the surgical department at the hospital closer to me and now I have lots to think about. Back to work tomorrow for 2 days. Leftover egg casserole for lunch. Cabbage soup with seitan for dinner. Pull day for strength with a lot of deadlifts and I started put plenty sore.. wonder how I’ll feel tomorrow afternoon! Protein: 149
1/28 work 1/2. I updated my goals on mfp to reflect 0.5 loss per week instead of 1 and now my diary is all messed up.. wrong calorie and macro targets on every future day. I looked it up and it appears to have been a known problem since 2015… anyone ever run into this and been able to fix it? I contacted customer support. Husband made a really yummy sweet potato broccoli stew from loveandlemons for dinner. Protein: 132
1/29 work 2/2. I tried updated my goals again today and it fixed my diary, glad the problem is resolved. Shakshuka for dinner. Protein: 126
1/30 really nice day outside today. I enjoyed some sunshine and did a push-up, KB swing, squat workout outside and took a walk. Leg day for strength.. my squats have been feeling really good. I did sets of 6 at 205 today. Okonomiyaki for dinner. Protein: 164
1/31 Another lovely day! Feels like spring and is making me ready to garden. We are expecting snow and ice this week though. I hate driving to work in ice. I interviewed with a job in the cath lab today. I think I might end up staying put though. I really like my boss and 3 12’s just allows for so much scheduling flexibility. I can easily get big chunks of time off and I really appreciate being able to run errands at odd hours on week days without crowds. I’m feeling so good in the gym.. seems like I’m just getting PR after PR. Took a walk, did a devil’s press and box jump workout, and then did a press day. Got sets of 5 bench press at 115 which is good for me. Bench has always been one of my weakest lifts. Protein: 139
2/1 Last free day before work for 3. Good timing to work 3 in a row with an ice and snow storm coming up for those days 🤪 Jump rope, clean and jerk workout this morning and a walk. Pull day with rack pulls for strength tonight. Went ahead and prepped most of dinner for tomorrow night since my husband prefers to drive my Subaru in the snow and ice. So, he will just stay late at his job and pick me up when I’m done since we work in the same area. Made a brown rice, mushroom, bokchoy, tofu bowl with a miso sauce for dinner tonight. Red lentil falafel pitas for dinner tomorrow. I don’t know how I’m just now getting into Love and Lemons recipes.. so far they’ve been really tasty. Protein: 168
2/2 work 1/3. Snow arrived. I’ll be solo driving to work tomorrow and it looks like it’ll snow for most of the night. I don’t mind driving in snow when there aren’t a ton of other cars out on the road.. so it should be fine. Glad we prepped tonight’s dinner yesterday! Red lentil falafel pitas. Protein: 130
2/3 work 2/3. Weighing even earlier than normal for a work day since I’m driving in snow. I always get pretty excited about the Olympics.. ready to go watch some cool snow sports! Polenta with a mushroom sauce and a fried egg. Protein: 133

Goal: Aiming to hit 168
1/27 169.6. Woo hoo!! I've been doing a LWR workout for the last six days. I can feel myself getting a bit stronger each day. Yesterday after work I walked my dog and then did my workout. That led to me moving around more after work. I did the same today.
1/28 170.1. Went to visit my parents.
1/29 DNW
1/30 DNW
1/31 170.2 I was really worried about getting on the scale after a weekend away. Crisis averted. Will see what the scale says tomorrow. I added half a scoop of collagen to my coffee and mixed the other half with my pb honey that I spread on my toast. Not bad. That scoop of collagen helps keep me fuller longer.
2/1 170.9
2/2 170.2
2/3 169.4
2/4 169.0 20 min LWR walking WO. Noticed I haven't done any workouts this week. My son was with me this week. Will find a way to squeeze a quick 7 min WO in. Today I decided to mix in a 1/3 scoop of collagen into my honey I spread on my breakfast toast and it wasn't bad. The other 2/3 I mixed into my coffee. I like that it has 7 g of protein and no fat. Good sub for my normal PB. I still get my 16 g of PB in with an apple for snack. I tried adding collagen to my egg too and it wasn't bad...except the clump I couldn't chew lol. Can't wait for the next round. This has really been helping me.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/27 - 146 - I've kept up with my food diary and steps. This frigid weather really tests my strength to resist comfort food. I bought some diet hot chocolate (25 calories) to get me through my afternoon munchies at the office.
1/28 - 146 - I had some extra sodium yesterday and I will probably have extra tonight. I'll try to drink more water to compensate.
1/29 - 146 - It was a cold drive in to work, -14F wind chill, but it's better than the blizzard the East coast is facing today. I hope everyone here facing those winds and snow stay safe and warm.
1/30 - 146
1/31 - 146.5 - Went a little overboard on snacking this weekend. Back on track today.
2/01 - 146.5
2/02 - 146 - A little stressed due to the impending Winter storm. Gathering work at my office today to work from home tomorrow. It looks like my area will likely escape most of the ice, so that was good news this morning. After the 16 inches of snow we got 2 weeks ago, 12 doesn't sound too bad and it is a lot better than ice accumulations. I hope everyone else in the path of this storm stays safe.
2/03 - 146 - Working from home today. I just need to stay away from the kitchen and walk around the house to keep up on my steps.
2/04 - 145.5
2/05 - 146 - Darn, I have really hit a plateau. Nothing I can do but keep trying. See you next round.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/27 / 179.8 / Fun to start with a taste of the new decade. Getting my walks in, riding the Peloton, and eating nourishing and delicious food. Happy the weekend is almost here!
1/28 / 180.4 / Busy work day, slightly shorter Peloton ride, dinner, and then a video call with my MIL for nearly three hours. Time to rest!
1/29 / 179.6 / Sun is shining so we're going to walk to the grocery store for a couple things for brunch. I have the dentist today, I want to do some core strength, and we're going to a movie tonight. Dinner and my popcorn already pre-tracked so my day can work around it.
1/30 / 180 / Fun day yesterday... one shorter walk and a long one where I ran into a friend. Hubby and I had a food court dinner and went to see A King's Man. Off to snowshoe in the mountains today.
1/31 / 180.2 / Another Monday is here. I am donating blood right after work so staying hydrated and nourished beforehand is key!
2/1 / 178 / Was back on the bike today before work. Snowy here so I'm going to try Peloton's shadow boxing on my lunch break instead of my usual walk.
2/2 / 178.4 / Still cold here today. Started the morning with another Peloton boxing session. Plans for lower body strength and hopefully a bike ride. Gotta get through work first!
2/3 / 179.2 / New 45 PR on the Peloton yesterday and a yummy steak dinner. It's still cold here but it's going to warm up in time for the weekend. Yay!
2/4 / 179.6 / Weather has warmed enough that I'll get out for a walk at lunch. Did a length strength workout yesterday and I'm feeling it today, in a good way! Hoping to do a shorter Peloton ride tonight as well.
2/5 / 179.8 / Up bright and early to do a 75 minute live ride. Haircut later today and we will definitely walk the dog. We'll see what else we get up to. See you in the next round!5 -

I was really craving something sweet last night, but I resisted. I did have some air-popped popcorn. I’m trying to stop the night munching this round. I never used to do this—not sure how I got into this habit. With the brutal cold I haven’t been getting much exercise, but we have two+ hours of doggy school tonight, so that will get me moving a bit. Stay warm, all!
1/28 - 178.6, 178.5
It was nice to get out to doggy school and move a bit last night—it’s been too cold for me outdoors. I don’t plan to go anywhere today—brrrrr.
1/29 - 179.6, 178.9
Woops. These cold days make me crave fats and carbs, and I gave in last night. Ok, reset. It’s bitter cold here, but little snow. I’m thinking of all of you in the path of the east coast storm. Be safe.
1/30 - 180, 179.2
Calories on target yesterday, so this is time lag. It's fine. I kept breakfast low and will have salad for lunch. Making Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup for dinner. Sounds very satisfying to me! Stay warm!
1/31 - 178, 178.9
That’s better. Now to nudge it a bit further.
2/01 - 178.2, 178.8
Weird weather! It’s been very cold here, but today it’s supposed to hit 47F, then drop drastically, rain tonight, then 10 inches of snow forecast. I’m getting whiplash! Oh, well, good reading and knitting weather on the way, and outdoor run-the-puppy weather today. I skipped dinner last night because of doggy school, so we have Sunday’s creamy chicken tortilla soup for dinner tonight. It’s yummy, and calories are reasonable. I really want to get below 178 by the end of this round, so I’m determined to behave myself.
2/02 - 178.2, 178.6
So much for behaving myself—I went a bit crazy last night. Oh, well. Starting over today. The snow has begun—10-12 inches on the way. I’m hoping to do some painting today—a watercolor dog portrait I donated to a Christmas raffle. I haven’t been painting for a while for fear of the puppy getting into stuff, but he’s old enough to behave himself with supervision. Stay warm & safe, everyone.
2/03 - 178.2, 178.7
Snow! Lots of snow!
2/04 - 180, 179.6
What??? Ok, whatever—salt, time lag, curse of the evil warlock…. I did get some exercise yesterday—shoving some of our 11 inches of snow. Wheee! Now it’s going to be a deep freeze for a few days. I’m hoping to bounce back down to end this round, but it is what it is. Happy Friday!
2/05 - 179.8, 179.7
Well, this is not a trend I care for. I’m still fighting the old snacking-at-night demon. That coupled with less exercise in this deep cold weather is not a good look for me. Gotta get serious and stop making excuses. See you next round!

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. I’ve been doing it for over 4.5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

1/27 118.0 Spent all day yesterday in quilt guild meetings, ate 2 not fancy salads - dinner “Greek” salad (different than our regular places) was lacking just about everything it did have some gyro meat, ate 1/4 tough pita, had 1/3 Granny Smith apple with Smucker’s Natural peanut butter.
1/28 117.0 Not much appetite yesterday 🤷♀️ I’m all out of sync today. Trying to cancel cruise for the upcoming October due to vaccine status requirements.

1/31 117.5 MUCH TMI success yesterday LOL
2/1 117.5 Shopping and driver’s license renewal today
2/2 117.0 Shopping didn’t happen. Someone hit DH’s car, speeding and passing on the right on a one lane road! No injuries. Couldn’t get Real ID because I haven’t seen my Social Security card since I last worked. The number is printed on a document from SSA but that wasn’t good enough. DHS/Federal rules do not require social security info for Real ID so it must be a Nevada rule which is interesting since they require NO ID to vote in this state!

2/2. 139.4. My morning routine changed a bit yesterday and I didn't get to posting my weight, doing it now. Got a half a foot of snow yesterday; most of the snow from a few days ago had melted, at least off of the roads. Getting low on lettuce, but have a couple more days worth (my husband and I have salads for dinner (and have for three years!)). We occasionally have soup for dinner and I'm planning to make some homemade soup tomorrow or so. I'm making a sausage corn chowder. I don't know if it was this thread that someone mentioned this kind of soup, but we''ll try it out. Here's to staying warm!

Hi, I’m Karen and am in my 50’s.
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
GW-149.
1/27-170-Started out the day with two pieces of bread and had a steak for dinner. Better eating today. Loaded my last quilt of three on the long arm quilting machine and will finish that today or tomorrow. Finally getting ahead! Maybe I’ll get my rollerblades out today.
1/28-Ate better, had the rest of the steak for lunch and a smoothie for dinner. Busy day with horse shoer in the morning, quilting, errands and a quilting meeting in the evening. Off to quilt at a friends today, so will bring a healthy lunch and an ice chest and visit the grocery store on the way.
1/29-166-Nice visit with the quilting ladies, had a couple of cookies and took a salad, came home and had a light dinner.
1/30 & 1/31-DNW
2/1-168-Lots of errands to run today. Hopefully a horse ride this afternoon and will have my quilts finished up.
2/2-It is miserably windy here. I started out OK yesterday and then ate crap the rest of the day as I ran errands..... I should have brought a healthy snack.😬
2/3-169-Made chicken soup- must have been the salt. We have had horrible wind and I think today it is finally over. If I want exercise, I need to ride the bike to get past all of the hungry and bored bees, waiting for the orchards to bloom.
2/4-168-Made chicken chili. Long horse ride and finished the quilts I’ve been working on. I can’t wait to give them away.
2/5-167-Had to run errands yes and too a healthy snack with me. See you all next round!☕️🌸5
