Day/Weight/Comment
03/17 …..199.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
03/18 …..198.8 ….. (Trend weight 198.2) TMI was helpful. Yesterday was not the best of days with left over Chinese and other things I could have done without. I did have more steps overall for the day.

03/19 …..xxxxx ….. Trend weight xxxxx) Up about 4 hours earlier than usual this morning and was guzzling coffee before I realized I forgot to weigh. A broken routine this morning in every way. It’s going to be a rough day with very little sleep.

03/20 …..198.4 ….. (Trend weight 198.4) Relieved.

03/21 …..198.0 ….. (Trend weight 198.3) My trend weight went down a touch and for that I am very happy. Up early posting this morning and then I will be doing a travel day which is much further than usual. I am picking up something from facebook marketplace which is between 3 and 4 hours away (each way). Taking my handyman and there will be lunch or dinner out mid-state. Lots of sitting today so I don’t expect it will be that great tomorrow on the scale, but I will just keep working on it.

03/22 .….. 199.8 ….. (Trend weight 198.4) Golden Corral during travel. I’ll aim for a slim day today.


03/23 …..198.8 ….. (Trend weight 198.5) One pound down today which is probably excess water from the travel/restaurant weight. I did okay yesterday diet-wise. I made some good choices but there is still lots of room for improvement.

03/24 …..198.8 ….. (Trend weight 198.6) No change today. Diet was okay until the snacking. Snacks lower in calorie but too many. However, I made an actual effort to get in my 10,000 steps and I am proud of the progress there. Getting in movement and exercise has been almost impossible and had definitely made my efforts more difficult. Gotta eat so gotta burn calories every day!


03/25 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

03/26 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

03/27 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Feel like I'm due for a good loss, so shooting for 1.5 pounds this round. Plus, 181 pounds in Round 181 was too good to pass up! Off to a great start! Just hope it stays down.
03/19: 181.4 lbs (-0.4)
Bit of a surprise. Went out for dinner and drinks last night. Didn't go crazy, but the tortilla chips and guac they got for the table were too tempting! And even shared some Gelato. One meal won't kill me.
03/20: 182 lbs (+0.6)
Maybe that's the Gelato? Dunno. It's OK though.
03/21: 179.8 lbs (-2.2)
Well, did not expect that! The scale flipped back and forth between 180 and 179.8 for a few seconds before it finally settled. That 7 feels weird. I can't believe I'm here.
03/22: 180.4 lbs (+0.6)
I'm sore from ST yesterday and my tongue and lips feel puffy, so think it's water retention. Gonna drink lots of water today.
03/23: 180.2 lbs (-0.2)
Body is teasing me again! Just a few ounces to get below 180. Oh well, it's something! 😄 Still well over my goal for this round so might not be a bad idea to slow down a bit.

03/24: 181.4 lbs (+1.2)

Day/Weight/Comment
3/18: 137.3 - Had my shingles shot the day before, but managed to get my workout and walk in despite feeling achy. Very high-end of calories eating, but still within target.
3/19: 137.6 - As I get closer to my goal weight, I have been eating closer to the top end of my calories. I’ll try not going all the way to the top to see if it will finally get me over the line. I have to say that I am enjoying the extra calories though.
3/20: 136.7 - Ate a little bit under calories - not intentionally - but was satiated and full. Normal exercise and sleep. I’ve now lost 35 pounds since when I started back with MFP on Sep 7, 2022 and have 1.7 pounds left to hit goal weight. About a third of my move calories yesterday came from trying on pants in my closet. End up donating a whole bunch, but don’t yet have the confidence to donate ALL my pants that are too big. One big win is that I fit into a pair of jeans that my daughter left behind in her room, and she’s never been above a size 6 in her entire life.
3/21: 136.9 - Good workouts yesterday along with good eating. I cooked up a couple of dishes over the weekend that should last a couple of days. It makes it easier to calorie count when I can just click on a couple of the “recent foods” boxes to log meals.
3/22: 136.9 - Ate to the very tippy top of my range. Normal workouts and sleep.
3/23: 137.3 - Normal workouts and normal eating and sleep.
3/24: 137.3 - Normal workouts and normal eating and sleep
3/25: -

Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: - 0.3 pounds

Date/W/Steps/Mins**

3/18 ~ 193.8 -16,000 and 113. SO is away for the week so these 10 days should go well with exercise better eating and meal planning. I've added my step goals. I am not physically ready to hit that but my brain is telling me its soon. Maybe after another 10 lbs.
3/19 ~ 193.1 - 18,200 and 127. It’s a slow start to the day. It’s the only sunny day this week and I don’t know how to spend it, but it will include coffee and a walk. Hope you all have sunny days today. ☀️
3/20 ~ 192 - 37,000 and 274. Big walk and a long hot bath after. Probably a dehydrated weight this morning. Probably be a low key day today.
3/21 ~ 192.2 - 19,000 and 92. Spent the day shopping and a small walk. SO is headed back home early so will see how the meals go. Super excited that Spring is here although rain is in the forecast for days!!
3/22 ~ 192.5 - 10,600 and 62. Was tired yesterday and forgot my chicken and salad dressing in my lunch. I can do dry salad but I added lots of kale to this one, kale really needs dressing!! Found a protein bar in my desk so I did have calories. SO made it home and too was very tired from his long drive. Ok Tuesday... I got this!! Have a wonderful day all.
3/23 ~ 192.2 - 16,700 and 108 mins. Walked home from work. Still a little tired but it may be this drizzly weather. Still have kale in my salad but remembered my dressing!! Happy Hump Day!!

3/24 ~ 192.3 - 14,400 and 99 mins. Sushi for dinner chose well sashimi a salad and a couple pieces of salmon nigiri. BUT SO wanted to go out for dinner it was a little early so he suggested a small walk. The weather had just cleared and it was a great evening. Also my reading goal is a work in progress, I am enjoying a relaxing tea in the evening just need to pick up that book.

Hi, I’m Kathy.
57, F, 5’8”
7th round! 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
RSW: 245.4
UGW for now: 195, then reevaluate

Goal for this round: less than I started with
2022 goals: move more (okay, move some), eat mindfully

Day/Weight/Comment
3/18 245.4 And a new low to start the round! I hope this is a good sign for the next 10 days. Heading into a busy weekend so I’ll be mindful. Have a good weekend, y’all!
3/19 DNW
3/20 246.2
3/21 247.4 Lots of eating out with friends and family this weekend (today’s our 30th anniversary) so this jump is not unexpected despite making generally good choices. Hitting the water hard and being especially mindful of sodium intake for the next couple of days should help.
3/22 245.8 Coming back down. Great workout last night – knee strengthening and cardio. The Pollening has begun here, so outdoor activities will be curtailed for the next few weeks until that calms down. Meals are planned and logged and my water cup is full next to me!
3/23 245.6 Still headed the right direction. Actually back in the office today so I brought all my food with me. Meals are all logged.
3/24 245.4 Back to where I started the round. Now time to drop for a couple of days. Lots of stress at work for the next few days but I will do my very best to handle it in a healthy way. And if I don't, I'll pick myself up and keep going.

🌷🌷Happy Spring! 🌷🌷 It’s bright and sunny here and warming up. Perfect day to take Rory for a walk & then play 🎾, then do a bit of pruning. Not quite warm enough yet for real garden cleanup (don’t want to kill the baby insects in the leaf litter), but I can start a few things, including planning some new front yard landscaping. Cheers me right up. Enjoy your day!

My “different soup every Sunday” project continues…yesterday I made vegetable beef. I rarely eat beef, but had a hankering for a nice chunky veggie beef, and it was delish. Hitting my calorie goal the past few days, too—even on the weekend. Yay!

Just back from 2.5 hours of doggy classes. We’re both ready for a nap!

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.

Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

3/18 119.0 Meeting DGD#3 at her ultrasound appt today. I get to see DGGB#1 (great-grand baby) “in action!” I’m so excited!!
3/19 121.0 Baby was sticking out tongue and appeared to be saying “Hi Mom” on ultrasound. OMAD yesterday was Golden Corral with neighbors. That is all. 😁😁
3/20 121.5 Continued uptick from GC. Ketones up from yesterday(good) and fasting glucose down(also good.) AND TMI after weighing! GKI 9.4
3/21 120.5 GKI 5.5
3/22 121.0 GKI 11.9 I felt like nibbling all day long! Pork roast and broccoli for dinner and low carb SF yogurt with 1 oz of cherries for dessert. I need to get a fast in but with DH not going to lunch with friend, it’s tough for me to fast.

Goals: HIT.MY.STEP.GOAL!!! 10,000/day; <100 carbs/day; Pelo ride 2-3x/week; end the round lower than what I started it at.

3/18- 183.4 I was up earlier than usual, so that’s likely the reason for the uptick. I’m not worried about it at all. 72 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done.

3/19-183.4 I’m okay with this. This week has been rough, as my youngest kid has the flu, DH has bronchitis, and I’m not feeling great myself. Still, I’m sticking to my plan! 67 net carbs and step goal hit.

3/20- 182.4 46 net carbs and step goal hit. Still recovering from this flu business, so it’s been a weekend of not doing much at all.

3/21-182.2 Pretty darn happy with my progress lately, despite not feeling well! We have a trip to Disney planned for the last week of April and now I’m really excited to see where I’ll be till then. 48 net carbs and step goal hit. Ready to rock this week!

3/22- 182.0 Another small loss, but still a loss! 59 net carbs and step goal hit. I’m getting close to feeling 100% better, just a little congestion left. Thank goodness!

3/23- 182.6 I’m guessing the uptick is from the Pelo ride last night. It’s been four days in between my last ride and last night’s ride, thanks to aforementioned sickness. 86 net carbs, steps hit, and Pelo ride done. Keep on trucking!

3/24- 183.6 Not sure the reason for the uptick, but whatever. I’ve taken a look at my Happy Scale app and noticed that this tends to happen- down every day for a week or so, then a few days spent in a little uptick or stagnant, but then I do move down again. So I’m not worrying. 80 net carbs and step goal hit.

Thanks @jenkindo and @KayHBE ! I'm still in a state of shock and disbelief.

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Day/Weight/Comment
3/18 173.4 I'm hoping for a whoosh this round to break out of the 170s. But that's just a hope— in terms of goals that are within my control, I'd like to take four forest walks this round, which I'll denote with an *
3/19 174.0 Booo. Okay. Fine.
3/20 * 173.2 Back to my starting weight for this round. I might be eating a bit too few calories lately? Around 1200-1300, which MFP gave me, but that's what I did previously to lose and that time, I was starting off 20 lbs lighter. Not sure if I should try to do some calorie cycling...in other news, got my first forest walk in yesterday!
3/21 *172.3 Did a little walk by the bay yesterday, went over on my sugar limit, but woke up to this nice surprise on the scale! If I can hover around 172 this round, I'll be happy. Closer and closer to the 160s. Which is still miles from where I want to be, but it's so much better than where I started!
3/22 *171.8 Wow! Doubt it'll stay this low, but it's nice to see.
3/23 171.6 I had homemade orange chicken yesterday and though I didn't overeat, I thought today might be higher. I guess not! It could always show up tomorrow, though.
3/24 172.0 Hovering around 172 is hope for this round because that would be another pound gone. So far, so good (though I certainly didn't mind seeing those 171s!).

Day/Weight/Comment
3/18 / 171.6 / Poor sleep due to sickness. Have to get through a workday yet but otherwise just resting up the body. Hope everyone enjoys the weekend ahead!
3/19 / 170.6 / Lots of Netflix and reading here while I try to recover. The sun is out and the weather is beautiful so I'm bummed to be missing a great weekend. This too shall pass. Trying to get my body the time it needs to heal so I can hopefully get over this sooner rather than later.
3/20 / 167.4 / Still sick but that doesn't take away the shine that I reached my ultimate goal weight today that I set in early 2021. This weight represents the first time I've been in my normal BMI range in adulthood. I am so happy.
3/21 / 167.4 / Got through as much of my work day as I could and now it's back to bed for rest.
3/22 / 167.8 / Tested the waters with a very short (less than 1KM) walk. I feel like it'll be a while before I'm back to my regular activities. My husband is sick now too so it will remain a very slow week here.
3/23 / 168 / Another quiet day planned aside from work but I'm hoping to get up to over 1 KM of walking today and I'll see how I do. Salmon on the supper menu... yum!
3/24 / 168.4 / I think I'm turning the corner. Food was yummy today. I did a longer consecutive walk. Still don't feel up for much more than that but there is promise!

SW round 181: 158.1
GW round 181: < 158.1

I gained 0.2 in round 181. I'd like to get that down this round.

3.18 158.1 Was hungry and ate a lot yesterday; didn't finish logging my calories. Didn't get in my steps either. But I'm off for a short jog this morning.
3.19 158.1 Ate at a restaurant last night, but I think I ate OK. Today, I ate a lot of bread and didn't get in my steps. Not logging. . . .
3.20 158.1 Went for a 3 mile jog in the morning. Ate mindfully but didn't log.
3.21 157.4 Encouraged to see a drop this morning! I hope it' real. Will endeavor to log today and get in my steps.
3.22 158.1 Went for a 2.5 mile jog along the oceanside. Logged all my food and ate within points.
3.23 158.1 Did not get in significant exercise; it was rainy today. Logged food -- until dinner. Ate a lot of hubby's yummy chickpea and spinach pasta for dinner.
3.24 157.6 Surprised to see a drop. It might not be real. Mouth was dry last night - I need to drink more water. Another rainy day.
3.25 157.6 Hmm..... Happy the drop has stayed. I ate dessert last night, a slice of a chocolate pastry + 2 chocolates. Went for a short jog first thing this morning. We're eating at restaurants the next 2 nights, so. . . .. We shall see.
