@mrsrebeccaplude I used to get Swiss Miss hot chocolate at Walmart or the grocery store (Kroger group) it was also 25 calories. I threw some out recently that had outdated SEVERAL years ago.
@tiabirdie56 Tish, my irritant grain is Raisin Bran. I love it and what it does but OH! The carbs!!l
@smoda61 I love that you included the weights of Harry and Han Solo! I actually weighed Oskar this morning and after 3 years he has gone from 16 to 14.5#. I worry that I’m starving him as he wants to eat constantly. I wonder if they do gastric sleeve on cats. The vet said he should weigh 9#!!!

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.

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….

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.10 -

@smoda61 I love that you included the weights of Harry and Han Solo! I actually weighed Oskar this morning and after 3 years he has gone from 16 to 14.5#. I worry that I’m starving him as he wants to eat constantly. I wonder if they do gastric sleeve on cats. The vet said he should weigh 9#!!!
@enlightenme3 Hit the protein, use the fat for satisfaction, limit the carbs - the key to my success.
@quiltingjane 9# is a pretty small cat. I am curious if the vet is correct on that opinion. That one and half pound loss over 3 years has Oskar heading in a healthy direction and at a nice slow pace of 2/3 of an ounce a month. Sounds like you are feeding him perfectly for a cat that has some extra weight! Han is my eat-a-holic. He was abandoned outside and was 7.5 lb when found with acute diarrhea. Poor boy. Using dietary choices we got the IBD under control and now I am just trying to keep him a reasonable weight (I think his high was 12.25 lb) to prevent arthritis and such. Harry is my PITA picky eater. So for one cat I try to control food and limit treats and for the other I am always trying to convince him to take one more bite. Shoot, I think my kids were easier.3 -
Just going to add a quick note that shows cause and effect pretty clearly.
End Jan 2021, lost 25 lbs over preceding 4 months - cholesterol was 183
End Jan 2022, gained 15 lbs over preceding 4 months - cholesterol is 245
Never seen that number so high!!9 -

Goal for this round: To weigh less than when the round started.
Previous days1/27 123 preworkout but didn’t weigh post workout. I’m thinking this is cycle related and water retention from a new strength workout Tuesday and a hard run yesterday morning. I rode the bike this morning at a leisurely pace for about an hour and plan to go to the gym this afternoon afterwork to do strength and to sit in the steam room afterwards. Food is all planned and looking forward to leftover carnitas for dinner tonight! Happy almost Friday everyone!1/28 Did not weigh. Went to the gym this morning to do strength and went for a run on my lunch. I realized that I run faster later in the day compared to in the morning, which I thought was really interesting. Off to a relaxing yoga class tonight and then having some udon noodle soup for dinner. Happy Friday all and for those in New England, stay safe with the impending blizzard arriving tomorrow morning.

@CamandJarvis - it's very interesting to hear all your updates & looks much better for your Mom, so sorry to hear the news on BF's sister, so sad, one always thinks their siblings are as invincible as oneself.
Your life is defiantly topsy turvy as the moment !! You're doing well to keep on top of your heathy life style, hats off to you x
Thank you.
As far as keeping on top of my goals, I figured that I'm only going to end up in the hospital or suffering if I don't keep at least somewhat healthy. How can I care for anyone else if they're having to care for me instead? It's the only thing that really kept me from going off the rails there for awhile. Probably a little morbid or negative, but it IS truth. I have a lot of not-so-nice hereditary issues heading my way, I need to focus now to stop them from presenting rather than only take reactive action once they've seeped into my life.9 -
I use measurements because they're not sensitive to salt intake
107.5 103.0 108.0 61.0 50.5 60.5 49.5 27th 3 minute run, eating = good

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

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

1/28 145.2 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 tried a few things without any luck. I contacted customer support. My new scrubs that I ordered in a small arrived today and they fit way better than the mediums. That’s a win. Husband made a really yummy sweet potato broccoli stew from loveandlemons for dinner.

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!

Round 176 (108th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine. Another round, 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 that 2.8 pound that I gained last round during this one.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.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/27 137.6 - 10.15 miles walked and an hours yoga. Calories & all macros in credit. Yesterday we celebrated our youngest DGS 2nd birthday; 18 months ago we didn't know whether we would see this day. He was born with a genetic condition causing a very seriously diseased liver, at the tender age of 6 months he was given new life by the generosity of a family who had lost their loved one and agreed to donate her liver. We shall be eternally grateful to her, her family, the organ donation scheme and the amazing NHS. I would like to take the opportunity of asking you all whether you have thought about donating your organs after you are gone and whether you have had the conversations about it with your loved ones; we never thought it could happen in our family, but you never know. A part of her continues to live on in our little DGS, she has given him life; we shall never forget and we shall be eternally grateful.
1/28 138 - 7.46 miles walked yesterday. Had way too many calories & in particular carbs, caused me to feel rough all night & I couldn't sleep with all the sugar in my system, I know it's not doing me any good so why? Will I ever learn, don't know why I keep doing this. I'm frustrated with myself & it's the same old same old! What can I say!!
1/29 137.6 – 10.06 miles walked. A much better food day, well under calories & all macros in credit.

1/27 139.6 (trend 140.6) Back at it x
1/28 139.2 (trend 140.4) My lowest trend weight, this means my Christmas gains are finally gone! Had a busy day cleaning, preparing for guests and didn't stop to eat, only snacks. Going to a party tomorrow, haven't done that in literally years as I'm not the sociable type. Only going because OH wants me there to support him, dreading it!
1/29 138.2 (trend 140.1) Woa! Nice big drop! Urgh, so stressed about this bloody party tonight, found out last night that it's a formal thing, the host is wearing a suit, damn! Fine for my OH as he can just chuck a suit and tie on but for me that means hair, nails, make up etc. My hands and arms are covered in cuts and bruises from working on my kitchen reno, I'm well overdue a hair cut, no clue how to do make up anymore, I haven't worn anything formal since my wedding 4 years ago when I was 30lbs heavier and I have no idea what I'm gonna wear! Arghhh. I don't wannaaaaaa!

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.

Plans:🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, strength training, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

@_JeffreyD_ - I'm really glad to see you back with us and bring a little humor to our lives. I hope that your 5 weeks in Florida was wonderful! Did you get to go fishing at all? Did the kids and grandkids join you for a bit?
I'm sorry to hear about your neighbor. 61 is way too young! I use to think 50 was old when I was 30. And then 60 was old when I was 40. Now I'm 61 and not ready to kick the bucket yet ... this is not old at all. It feels like I have another 30-40 years to go but as you say life is fragile. We need to make the most of each and every day.7 -

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, 1408
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.

YOU CAN’T WALK YOUR WAY OUT OF A BAD DIET. Last year I walked over 500 miles and still gained weight.
Losing weight will help me -
…feel healthy and strong again.
…fit comfortably into my work clothes.
…slide on a pair of jeans.
…hike in the spring.
…look good for my daughter’s high school graduation.

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.9 -

Yesterday I changed my 2 medical appointments to telemedicine.
Just so nervous about going to the offices. I’m hopeful my healthier lifestyle will be rewarded with low dosages on medication.
Why I'm on vacation from the scale is it's been
more sloth-ious-ing at my house
It was a calories nightmare at my house clam chowder, lemon bars and cinnamon rolls
All made by Mennonite church ladies. Our neighbors turned us to where and when 😢
They sale every Friday and Saturday, DH is thrilled 🤐
Yes tomorrow is football Sunday
and we are ready with chips, dips and possible takeout sub sandwiches 🥳

"I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me" Philippians 4:13
“KAREN YOU HAVE GOT THIS”
'Consistency is the ONLY key to achieving any desired result'
MY “WHY’s AND HOW’s CONSISTENT 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 will say to myself, “KAREN YOU HAVE GOT THIS”
……..
My long term vision is to maintain my weight in the BMI ‘Normal Weight Range’ of 22.7
Why I want this goal is for managing my heart health and diabetes.
And to feel enticed to continue hiking and enjoying family and friends.
Positive actions and reasons:
1. daily logging of nutrition & water,
providing visual information to help me choose wisely
(my goals: 4 veggies, 2 fruit, 64oz water)
2. weekly movement,
providing lubricant to my joints to keep them mobile
(my goals: 90” of cardio, 60” of ST, flexibility of 40”)
3. daily thanks to God and self,
providing a relationship/direction with God and reassurance/strength for me
“Karen YOU HAVE GOT THIS”
💗 Karen

Round 176 138.2 1/26/22 Harry 10 lb 14 oz Han Solo 11 lb 13 oz
Goals:I think I have to figure out how to be more balanced in my approach so that when life gets a little complicated. I need to not fully resort back to my old ways of no exercise and unplanned eating. During my rounds 127 – 139, I was in 4 challenge groups. They were great for challenging me during that time and can take credit for what I accomplished. Once I got what I thought was my goal of 128 and change, I did not know what my goals should be and I got rather lost in my head. I dropped out of 3 of the 4 challenge groups, and the one I continued with, while great, was one that I probably had the hardest time defining success in. Summer got complicated (won’t bore you) and I eventually could not handle “failing” repeatedly so I left that last group as well. Then fall came, and family issues (think aging parents) put me in a tailspin. I need to learn to respond better as, if you look at my lifelong history, this is not the first time.
So my goals are to track daily, honestly, and completely, and with intension. To plan ahead dietary choices as much as possible. Exercise daily – no specific minimum, just make it happen. Weight goal for round 176 is to be 135, for real. Given at the time I am typing this, I weighed 135.4 in the AM, I am not asking too much. After that, I would like to average 1 pound per 10 days, which would mean 8 lbs removed by the end of April.
Lastly, I added the cats into the mix. I figure a reminder to check them ever 10 days is good. I have been sloppy. I am trying to keep Harry’s weight from dropping and Han’s from increasing. Dream weights for each of them is a low 11 lb IMO.
SW: 138.2
Cats: Harry 10 lb 14 oz Han Solo 11 lb 13 oz
1/27- 136.4 Actually feels good to pay attention again
1/28- 135.4 Yesterday went well enough. Did 25 min on spin bike early in the AM. Fully planned and tracked my food. Last night, late evening, I did opt to have an extra 1 oz of parmesan because I had already been hungry for hours, and wondered about potential impact on sleep (I sleep poorly lately). Anyhow, scale is moving quickly, but I fully understand that it is just the flushing out that happens with improved diet.
1/29- 135.4 Perfectly content with that. 20 in spin yesterday with HR reaching 163, heading back to the bike in a minute. Today is that blizzard in New England. Will be interesting to see how it goes. Supposed to be a “historical” storm for the Boston area, and we are living in our new condo (long story) and I hear that this part of town tends to lose power. We shall see. I also need to take a bit and read the whole thread and catch up on familiar faces and begin to learn the new.

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.
