@Nicoles0305 I just eat until I'm not hungry or up to my maintenance calories, whichever is less. It is hard to eat up to the higher calorie level at first.3

Day/Weight/Comment
02/05 …..196.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/06 …..194.6 ….. (Trend weight 195.5) Nice drop. Yesterday wasn’t perfect but it was pretty good. I must admit that the binge night before last left me not desiring food for most of the day. I really wasn’t very hungry until evening then I tried to make good choices and watch the quantities. I burned a few more calories, got a few more steps and came closer to mile goal with my fitbit but not by design so much, more by projects I was naturally involved in but it still counts! I’m sure the extra bit of movement helped. One of my cumulative goals in the next few rounds will be to get back to 185 and then proceed as originally planned at some substantial weight loss. Good luck everyone this round.
02/07 …..195.4 ….. Trend weight 195.5) Yesterday was an excellent day in both diet and an increase in steps/activity. I’m not sure why the uptick except that it was a weigh-in about 3 hours earlier than usual due to DGS waking me up again. It could be that. It could be the binge finally showing up, or the high sodium Mexican the other day. In any case, I know I am on track and feel very pleased with myself right now. The scale has no choice but to cooperate at some point if I can keep this momentum up. Livingroom kind of done, but furniture still covered and askew. Time to start building the new walls and archway so that an annoying support beam will look more like a header. My handyman is notoriously slow at drywall but good at building. Slow at paint too, but the price is right and he is dedicated. Here we go with another l..o..n..g project!
02/08 …..193.4 ….. (Trend weight 195.1) A wonderful Whoosh which makes me feel so encouraged. Hold onto your hat 180’s. I’m running a bit late, but I promise, I’m on my way!
02/09 …..193.4 ….. (Trend weight 195.1) Holding steady. I’ll take it!
02/10 …..196.0 ….. (Trend weight 195.2) My daughter bought pizza for us and the handyman on the job yesterday. 3 slices later this is my result. 2.6 lbs up! It did taste very salty because I don’t have it often. I’ll push water today. The rest of the day was on point. Hopefully tomorrow will fare better.
02/11 …..194.8 ….. (Trend weight 195.1) An okay day yesterday reflected better on the scale. Doctor appointments today for son & I for diabetes. Also for heart for me. They are going to send me to a heart and vascular center I guess. It doesn’t pay to flunk two EKG’s. They were supposed to do it late last fall but had trouble with insurance. Then I let it go due to all the holidays and then my brother’s death. Time to get things right with my heart now. I’ve gotten to the point where I am a little afraid to even exercise with all the sinking and fluttering I am feeling. Need answers.

Previous Posts2/6 Got a new phone today. iPhones are so seamless to upgrade that it never really feels like you get a new phone. Did a Turkish get up, deadlift, push-up work up and then leg day for strength. Hit 215 for sets of 4 on back squat. I’ve been eating at a higher calorie level for the past week and still feel pretty hungry. Having lots of fun watching the Olympics! Back to work tomorrow for a couple days. Protein: 142
2/7 work 1/2. The hospital is getting military nurses for the Covid surge.. buuut the surge is ending and we are in the process of closing beds to Covid to convert back to neuro 🤷♀️ Still having fun watching the Olympics. Roasted cauliflower, farro, tomato, spinach dish with tofu for dinner. Protein: 128
2/8 work 2/2. Shadowing in the cath lab tomorrow. Mojo black bean and kale bowls with seitan for dinner. Protein: 128
2/9 Super nice day here today! Did a rowing sprint workout, took a walk, push day for strength. 115# for sets of 4 bench press. I was curious about my form on deficit push-ups and had my husband take a video and was surprised at how jacked my back is looking. Roasted cauliflower, bean, tahini soup with tofu for dinner. Protein: 160
2/10 Another really nice day! I did a kettlebell swing, farmer’s carry, weighted deadbug workout, took two walks (my dog was so happy), and did a pull day with lots of deadlifts for strength. Mushroom stroganoff with seitan for dinner. Protein: 168

I think I finally found what I’m looking for if I change jobs.. buuut the spot is filled. At least I got my name in with them and know I am interested for when there is another opening. I am super sore today and strength was programmed for another push day. I did a jump rope, burpee/DB deadlift, thruster workout and decided I was feeling too beat to do another push day.. so I took a walk instead. Curried cauliflower fried rice with tempeh for dinner.

Round 177 (109th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine. I'm back ! Been AWOL on an extended (3 generation) family holiday, a belated break for DH's 60th birthday from last year !! Had no scales with me & very patchy internet. Didn't log whilst away, but tried to keep some control & had lots of exercise, with 4 DGC all under the age of 4, we went to advenutre playgrounds & swimming at a fun leisure swimming pool and I participated on everything!! I feel refreshed and ready for a new start so I hope to keep the ball rolling!! Aim to lose at least a pound by the end of the 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.

Goals:Goal for round 177 is simple. Track honestly. Plan ahead. Return to exercise daily. I would like to be 134, or less, this round. My hope is to lose and average of 1 pound per round through April, which would put me at 127. I can decide from there if I want to go further like last year where I was averaging 123 for 4+ months.
The “boys”, AKA the cats, Harry and Han Solo, are going to get tracked once per round as well. Maybe this way I will not keep losing my data for them
SW: 134.8
Cats: Harry 10 lb 15 oz Han Solo 11lb 13 oz
2/6- 134.8 Yes, scale got smuggled into the car after our failed attempt to fly to Florida. We drove 708 miles yesterday. No exercise (no surprise). Tracked all my food, but allowed myself a little over as on the road selections are challenging. I topped out at a little over 1500 calories. Certainly will not make me gain, but contributes less to losing. Cats are doing fantastic. I think they recognized the hotel room from the last two years. Few hotels allow cats, and this one puts us in the same room each time. :P 738 miles is the plan for today. Will make it to MIL’s Florida home tonight. We’ll visit with her until Tuesday morning, then finish our drive to Marathon Key, Florida.
2/7- 136.2 Ouch, yes, yesterday I got derailed (won’t bore you with it), but that is a large uptick. At least I know
2/8- 136.2 Still dealing with food at MIL’s. Making best effort but a struggle. Loading the car shortly and we will be at our own home by mid-afternoon. Exercise starts at 7 am tomorrow with the girls I walk with in Florida. Will be nice.
2/9- 136.4 Argh.
2/10- DNW
2/11- 137.2
2/12- 137.0 Ok, so this round is totally not going as desired. I need to get this turned around and I won’t list excuses. This eating behavior has got to stop being my default. On another note though, I have walked between 4 and 6 miles each day since arriving. Heading out 15 min.

Not sure what else is going on today. Can't believe it's less than a week until closing. We finally got a time settled, too. With running errands and other things yesterday, I didn't get to do my yoga so today I'll knock that out while the boys are gone, too.

2/08 - This is likely a slightly false high since I finally got some TMI in my life after weighing in (and drinking coffee and a ton of water so weighing again will just be false weight in that regard). Apologies for absences. Spent the weekend helping sellers clear out the house for trash and donations and then yesterday my laptop was dead! By the time it charged, I completely forgot. Guess I didn't quite plug it in all the way like I thought. Oops. Closing date is officially set for the 18th, just haven't gotten the time. Working to schedule electricity and internet switchover, deep clean, and getting plans ready for painting party as well as moving party. BigBro has his first day of school today. Postponed since he was supposed to get his schedule coordinated Thursday but school was closed Thursday/Friday for the ice storm we had, so that happened yesterday instead. Whew. One thing down, now a whole house to go haha! I have a group challenge for yoga for the next month through NF which is every other day. I'll do bodyweight workout today since it's "off" day for yoga. Water has been good through all this, but food is hit or miss. At least I have one solid habit going for me!
2/09 - Back down a tad. I did end up making my zucchini yesterday which I'll have with lunch today. Not quite sure what that will be yet, but at least I have veggies! I also bought a couple bell peppers to cook up to add in somewhere for some color sometime this week. Not sure dinner tonight yet. Did end up getting my workout in after dinner last night. Today should be the yoga challenge. Water still good! Getting back on track slowly but surely. My continuous glucose monitor should be here Friday and I can start watching trends and understanding what I can do to help avoid diabetes and I'm pretty excited to get some answers.
2/10 - Realized I missed a day somewhere and posted a day behind. All caught up now (though I still can't seem to find my missing day. I suppose the past is in the past and I'll let it stay there.) NF Yoga was simply a 6-minute wrist mobility session. I didn't realize I needed it! I've always been hyper-flexible in just about every way ("Double" jointed hips and shoulders included) but wowza did that mobility stretch feel AMAZING. Today I'm scheduled for my bodyweight workout. Need to stay on track for that so I can stay on track for yoga. The yoga is a group challenge so you can fall behind (and get less points) but nobody can work ahead, only catch up. I'm way too competitive to fall behind and that's the motivation I need to get bodyweight workout done. Today will be challenging as I didn't sleep well at all last night. Took until nearly midnight to get to sleep and then tossed and turned. My pillow magically became rock solid and way too tall in the last week or so. I've been waking up chin-to-chest from rolling onto my back in my sleep and the tension headaches are really making my days challenging. Pain cream and excedrin can't touch it. Been sleeping pillowless at least half the night (somewhere along the line I toss it on the floor, usually don't remember it) but that poses its own problems as I also roll to my sides frequently. I suppose new pillow shopping is on my to-do list here soon.
2/11 - Yesterday was one of those days no matter how much water I seemed to drink, I was still thirsty. Woke up incredibly thirsty as well, so we shall see if I can tame that a bit today. Plus I'm super bloated today so something is up there, just not sure what caused it. Errands day for me, need to ship a package, get vehicles registered and ask about the process for updating our licenses once we officially move. Plus getting BigBro his Texas license (he has a Kansas one right now). Didn't do my workout yesterday as work kept me busy then we were out of the house until almost bedtime. My yoga challenge is due today so I'll see about knocking that out. Slept horrible again, couldn't seem to get comfortable at all. Hopefully I can get errands done so I can relax and be lazy a bit this afternoon.

It’s a struggle! I supplement with a lot of whey. Here’s what I had on the 168 day. (I was really active and ate about 2,200 calories. On a more normal 1700-ish calorie day I get closer to 120-130.) I can open my diary up too.
Breakfast:
Optimum nutrition vanilla whey - 24g
Pb fit - 8g
Rx bar - 12g
Lunch:
Cauliflower white bean tahini soup - 20g
Crispy baked tofu - 9g
Dinner:
Mushroom stroganoff - 15g

Good day yesterday, and my weekly calorie average is below maintenance, so I feel back in control. Sunday is soup day (my goal is to make a different soup every Sunday for a year—we’ll see), so I’m trying to decide…. In January, it was minestrone, mulligatawny, Morrocan harira, and creamy chicken tortilla. Come to think of it, I might have to repeat a few! 😁
2/07 - 179.2, 179.5
I settled on Vegged-out Pumpkin and Back Bean Soup last night. I subbed out one can of black beans for a can of cannellinis, and added half a cup each of green beans and corn. Delish, very low calorie, and very satisfying. I’m enjoying my “soup of the week” routine!
2/08 - 178.8, 179.3
Creeping back down. Now to keep it up. I did snarf some Triscuits last night when I got home from doggy school—skipped dinner and I was hungry. Today all planned. Reading your posts keeps me inspired—thank you!
2/09 - 178.6, 179.1
Another good day yesterday, and I have today’s menu all planned. My “exercise” will be pulling everything out of the walk-in mess, er, closet in my office to set up a new 5-shelf unit I got and then organize everything. I know that sounds thrilling—but it is because I have not had enough shelves and the jumble scares me every time I open the door! Ha!
2/10 - 178.6, 178.9
I keep reminding myself that a no-gain day is a good day, and slow weight loss lasts. 🙂 I’ve been catching up on a bunch of to-dos the past few days. Got my new shelves up and the mess off the floor in my office closet—yay! And I’ve been blocking some knitted items I finished a few months ago but never blocked, including this lace scarf. I’ve also been on a hat kick, aiming for “monthly hats” plus a few others. Here’s my Valentine hat for February. 🧶
2/11 - 177.6, 178.5
Finally! I actually went quite a bit over my calorie goal yesterday, but my weekly average is below, and I’ve found that sometimes a one-day increase pushes a loss, as long as I don’t get carried away. Back on track today.

2/6- 198.0 (+.6) Yesterday was my first day at maintenance. What does that mean? I changed my goal from losing two pounds a week to losing .5 pounds a week. That increased my daily calories from 1200 to 1590. My low weight was four days ago at 195.6 but overall my weight loss has slowed to a crawl. I had my indulgence meal on Thursday which I’ve been having once a week since I started and so a bump up was not unexpected. I started logging here on MFP the beginning of June 2021 and was following the State of Slim plan which is a program I went through almost seven years ago. There is a book that outlines all the details and research. I’ve modified and refocused that plan on calories through MFP. Game changer for me. SOS (State of Slim) suggests giving your body a diet break after 4-5 months. That doesn’t mean giving myself permission to go back to my old eating habits. Instead, increasing calories to maintenance allows me to test the waters and could provide a reset to my body so it gets back into the weight loss mode. I did this in October for a week, which was during challenge 169 (above) and lost .2 pounds. The following challenges, I lost 5.2 pounds and 4.0 pounds and then gained a pound in Challenge 172 which was over the holidays. My overall goal is to lose 104.1 (160) pounds and I’m currently down 66.1 pounds, so I have 38 to go. Several of our wise sages on MFP suggested I read this post and the comments when I was approaching the last maintenance break. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10604863/of-refeeds-and-diet-breaks/p12/7 I’m going to still be attentive on weighing and measuring my food and will keep up my exercise. It feels good to do this reset. I think I hit tired mode a few days ago so this is good timing.
2/7- 197.0 (-.4) I had an indulgence meal at the end of the last round, so my weight is coming down from that. It’s amazing how the extra maintenance calories take some of the pressure off. I always have such high expectations to lose almost every time I step on the scale. Now I can relax a little. Today is no planned exercise, but tomorrow I’ll be back in the pool. I do have a bit of the winter doldrums and can’t wait to get back to hiking in the spring.
2/8- 195.6 (-1.8) Wow! Back at my low weight from last Thursday. I’m guessing my body is just getting rid of salt from my indulgence meal at the end of the last round. I’m eating about 1590 calories a day, which is what MFP suggests for a half pound loss a week. That’s up 390 calories a day from what I was doing when I had it set at a 2 pound a week loss. Now that I’m here, it will be interesting to see what this maintenance break brings. I’m excited to swim today.
2/9- 195.2 (-2.0) I ate up to maintenance calories and about a third of my exercise calories. It felt like so much food. Swimming was wonderful. This is a new low weight for me. Today, I’m meeting two of my favorite artists to catch up and play. I can’t wait.
2/10- 195.2 (-2.0) Had a great day yesterday connecting with several of my artist friends. Swimming is on the agenda today.
2/11- 195.4 (-1.8) Yesterday was really busy so I moved my swimming today. Things are going well and I’m enjoying the maintenance break. Spring is just around the corner and it will be nice to head back up to the mountains and hike every weekend.
2/12- 196 (-1.2) Swam a mile at the pool yesterday in 66 minutes, which is a new speed record for me. Everyone in the pool swims laps much faster than I do, so I’m only concerned with swimming my best. I ate late and didn’t drink all my water, which is why I probably had a bump. Not at all worried. Today is Orange Theory Fitness. Only a few days left in this break. It has been a good one at a good time for me. I’ll be ready to get back on track for the next round of weight loss.

2/12-166-Had 7 Layer dip for dinner because my husband was hungry for it and there is already too much food going to his mom’s super bowl party tomorrow. Earlier in the week we went to The World AG Expo in Tulare, Ca and walked 5 miles looking at all of the equipment. Our adult boys met us there and it was a fun visit, then heavy Mexican food and a long car ride home. Planted 2 lemon trees yesterday.5 -

2/6: 143.5 - Happy to hold steady. Was cleaning the pantry and tasted a few things to see if they were still good. Yep, M&M’s don’t go stale.
