4/21 - 151.7 - Salt? Lack of sleep? Who knows. I feel bloated, but not necessarily heavier so I think this is simply water retention. Baked chicken thighs with homemade garlic butter noodles and green beans. Same thing for lunch today. I'll take it easier on the noodles for lunch as tonight we are doing pizza (frozen kind) and watching the new Batman. BF has been itching to watch it since it was released on HBOMax on Monday but wanted BigBro and I around to watch with him (he can be sweet in the oddest ways, I swear...) I have a bell pepper and some mini peppers I can munch on to add for veggies tonight.

Previous Day's Comments

4/17 - DNP
4/18 - Not quite enough water through the weekend. I did manage to get my 90oz yesterday but our Easter lunch (Linner?) is still bubbling in there this morning. Not sure if it's not sitting right or what. At least I don't feel sick, just uncomfortable. A bit of a lazy weekend, too. I think we all needed it after work weeks followed by crazy, hectic, busy weekends doing manual labor. Back on water this morning to hopefully get this bloat down a bit, I'm feeling extra bleh carrying it around. Not much else to report.
4/19 - Got some of that bloat to disappear and I feel better. Mirror isn't as friendly as the feeling, so good thing I'm focusing on health and not looks. Looks will come in time with a consistent healthy lifestyle. Tracked all food and stayed under "exercise" calories (which was just the little bit of walking I managed throughout the day). I'm content with that. High likelihood I'll have to travel next week for work. Looks like leaving Monday, returning Wednesday. I have a couple appointments and an event happening on Friday so it better not go longer than Thursday. Not much else to report, simply chugging along and trying to get back on track health-wise
4/20 - I'm okay with that. BF made steak and chicken fajitas for dinner using the bell peppers I got (thankfully he used them before they went bad!) It was a bit heavy as I got home later than usual due to weather (apparently people can't drive over 20-30mph down the highway when its sprinkling rain so it took me 2.5hrs to get home. Usually only takes 1.5 hours). Didn't look as squishy and bloated as yesterday so it's progress in the mirror at least. Feel a tad lighter, too. Breakfast is overnight oats again. I'm really loving this oats kick I'm on. They definitely keep me full until lunch, unlike my "egg mcmuffin" breakfast. Plus, I can customize it a little every day so it doesn't feel like I'm eating the same thing on repeat. Not much else to report.

4/18 DNW (my birthday!) 🎂
4/19 169.6 lbs I'm shocked I made it through Easter and my birthday without a major gain! Worried it might show up tomorrow.
4/20 168.0 lbs Huh. This is surprising. I've got company all week and have decided my goal is simply to maintain this round, so any loss is a bonus!

I had a lovely beach day and went to my favorite restaurant for breakfast. My first time sitting indoors at a restaurant since the pandemic began (I'm immunocompromised and super careful).

Day/Weight/Calories/Comment

4/17 - 178.8
Ok, made yesterday’s <179 goal today, in spite of a few jelly beans last night. We’re going to friends’ for dinner, so I’m eating light during the day. Happy Easter, Passover, Ramadan, and whatever else you might be celebrating! 🪺

4/18 - 179.6
Not a surprise after last night’s dinner. I didn’t try to count calories, though I may still enter what I remember. Other than jelly beans, nothing was too crazy caloric. Off this morning for evaluation for upcoming cataract surgery. Not looking forward to this adventure.

4/19 - 181
Time lag from Sunday + salt yesterday. Calories were good, so this is temporary. Eye eval went well yesterday and I’m scheduled for June surgeries, but I still have a lot of Qs and feel like I’m being rushed into this. I’m going to do a bunch of research and then decide whether to go forward or postpone. The only vision issue I have is night driving, and I rarely do that. We’ll see. Off to doggy school!

4/20 - 180.2
Ok, headed back in the right direction. I still feel I can hit my 178 goal this round. Agility class today, so I’ll get some exercise. Last week, Rory knocked me down—ran into me on a turn toward a jump. Thank goodness we have nice padded mats. Hoping to stay on my feet today!

Hi, I’m Kathy.
57, F, 5’8”
10th 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: 240.0
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
4/17 240.0
4/18 240.0 The reality of this weekend: not enough water, eating and enjoying things I only typically make 1-2 times/year, some stress, some movement, not enough sleep, skipped the gym. Not reality: I did not eat 7,000 calories, so I know this will drop in a few days! Now back on the plan.
4/19 239.6 Back to the gym yesterday and back on track.
4/20 239.8 I know the process works. I just have to stay focused and not get impatient or lose hope. Everything for today is planned and logged, and I’m headed to the gym after work.
4/21 239.2 Slowly coming down. Was at the office all day yesterday but took the time to plan and take lunch/snack with me instead of being caught without. Hit the gym last night. Meals for today are planned and logged.

4/17 ~ 184.6 - 15,100 steps and 95 active minutes. Went for a beautiful 6k walk around a lake then a visit with the GDs they are so sweet. Easter dinner today and hopefully a good walk in. Hope everyone had a great round.
4/18 ~ 185.9 - 14,200 and 89. Got in a small walk and had a great dinner with family including dessert, chocolate and wine!! SO has gone off to work, looks like a few weeks so I should be able to get back to my lower weight soon. Just have to fight all this rain in the forecast. Oh so looking forward to sunny days.
4/19 ~ 186.6 - 17,600 and 118. Little unexplained jump up. My days have been like that the last few, not worried as I am still going in the right direction for calories and exercise. Got in a great walk yesterday in the pouring rain.
4/20 ~ 185.8 - 21,800 and 156. Long after work walk. NSV I have fit back into some of my spring clothes! Plus some of the clothes I've been wearing are a little too large. In the next few weeks I'll remove them from my closet. Scale reads are all over the place and I have a small road trip into Vancouver Thursday/Friday which I'm sure will effect my calorie intake and exercise but I am aware. The 170's are just going to take a few tries to get to, lol.

4/21 ~ 183.8 - 17,100 and 118. It was pouring rain but I got out there and got SOAKED! I do enjoy my walks even in the rain. I don't think I will be able to weigh in tomorrow or will be a different scale or maybe when I get back home late late Friday night, will see. Nice to see this 183 but after my road trip it'll bounce back up. I just have to get back here and I'll be fine!

Goals:

Goal for Round 184 is simply to get back to that 133.X number that I hit at the end of round 182 and began round 183.

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: 136.0
Cats: Harry 10 lb 15.5 oz; Han Solo 11lb 12.5 oz

4/17 – 135.6 Yesterday was a good day all around. Five mile walk. All food tracked and within budget. Will all my bouncing around, I did expect a little better drop than .4. Today will be challenging. I will likely handle the day with “thoughtful” eating and tracking may not happen. I expect to be up a little tomorrow. Happy Easter!!!!

4/18 – 135.4 A miracle of Easter? I did not track and only walked 3.3 miles yesterday, but I am guessing that all the time on my feet cleaning and cooking, serving/entertaining, and then cleaning up again after balanced out with what I chose to eat. I sent leftovers out of the house, so much of that should not be an issue. Today, DH is spending 12 hours today returning my MIL home (4 hours driving each way with a 4 hour visit including dinner in the middle). For me today, I need to be smart and take advantage of not causing an uptick yesterday. Complicating factor is no morning walking as I am staying in this morning to help pack and see DH and MIL off.

4/19 – DNW

4/20 – DNW

4/21 – 136.0 Phew! Ended up spending a couple days feeling “off”. No severe symptoms, but the list matched those of the current omicron. Took two different home tests, with negative results on both. Anyhow, I tend to eat when stressed and even more so tended to eat with a stomach ache, which I had. I truly expected 138 or higher. Glad I got on the scale today.

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)

SW RND 184 119.0
4/17 120.5. GKI 9.3 Lots of carbs yesterday because I ate a bowl of bran flakes trying to get things moving and 1 slice of veggie pizza at the quilt show. Quite happy with that! Walked over 7000 steps - about 3 times by usual - very happy with that too!
4/18 120.5 GKI 9.3 Hung out with recent widower friend. Lox, cream cheese, crackers and cheese followed by Italian sausage and cheesecake.
4/19 121.5 GKI 7.5 OMAD Great Greek salad with steak. Eating was good, I only ate about 1/8 of a pita. Increase is from carbs over the weekend and no TMI. I think I’m full of 💩 LOL I couldn’t pass that up. Sorry if I offended anyone.
4/20 119.5 GKI 7.2 still waiting for TMI but almost no carbs yesterday. Finished Greek salad (maybe 3/4 c) made steak and cauliflower for dinner and even had a glass of wine
4/21 120.0 GKI 19.6 Subs at bingo last night, no plastic ware so I pulled the bread apart and put the meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion between the remaining crusts. It was a substantial portion which was surprising. Apparently, too substantial! I wish this wind would blow in some rain. The dust in the air is horrid.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/16 …..201.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

04/17 …..203.4 ….. (Trend weight 201.5) A good day yesterday dietary-wise. However, day 2 of no TMI and a serious lack of steps yesterday. Gotta burn what you eat!

04/18 …..204.8 ….. Trend weight 201.8) Did someone say Easter Dinner?

04/19 …..199.2 ….. (Trend weight 201.5) We went out for Easter Dinner and to see the Easter Bunny and find eggs with DGS #4 because of a lack of kitchen during my reno. I felt like I ate a normal amount and did not even finish. Yesterday (Monday) I was so swollen in my calves and ankles and stomach that I was miserable. I pushed water and only got in my 250 steps 3 times out of 13 on my fitbit. Barely over 3000 steps for the day. On the couch all day with headache and miserable uncomfortable swelling. My doctor recently gave me a water pill to help aid my heart until I see the cardiologist June 1st. It is prescribed to take 2-3 times a week which is why I sometimes feel my weight will go up & down. I took the pill yesterday and those steps are from going back & forth potty. I also took a magnesium pill to help with TMI because it had been a few days. Both worked. Imagine my shock to see over 5 ½ pounds down overnight when I was so immobile! Glad to see it under 200! I feel much better today but I’m starving and my body wants to make up for the lesser amounts of food yesterday. I’ll choose wisely.

04/20 …..200.8 ….. (Trend weight 201.5) I think this is my weight and body adjusting after such a large drop on the scale yesterday. While I’m not happy with this number, it does feel correct and right.

04/21 …..200.8 ….. (Trend weight 201.4) Holding steady but need to see improvement. Very low level calorie burn yesterday. I’ve got to up my game as much as I safely can.

04/22 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

04/23 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

04/24 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

04/25 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

04/26 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

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

Day/Weight/Comment
4/17: 133.6 - Happy Easter! Weird eating yesterday - one large meal early afternoon with a lot of heavy snacking and tasting the rest of the day as I prepared for our Easter celebration. Not getting enough sleep though - really, really need to work on this one.
4/18: 133.6 - Another one large meal at lunch with waaaay too many nibbles the rest of the day celebrating Easter with extended family . Good sleep for once though and managed to get my workout in.
4/19: 133.6 - Back on track with eating, although still finishing up food from Easter which is pretty calorie dense. Good workouts and good sleep.
4/20: 134.7 - Had good workouts and good sleep. We met some friends at a restaurant and I still had a hankering for something sweet when we got home. Managed to stop myself before I went over calories, but it was super close.
4/21: 134.7 - Normal-ish workouts and eating. Finally moved into the 21st century and got some bluetooth earbuds to use out on my walks. So convenient!

R184: 225-

*******************************
Hi everyone, my last round here was in March 2019 (R69) with a weight of 185.6. Back now at 225 (ugh!) Unchecked thyroid levels = rapid weight gain during the height of covid quarantine. I don’t have a thyroid due to cancer and blah, blah, here I am today heavier than ever.

Anyway, this challenge was really helpful in keeping me accountable a few years ago, so I am jumping back in! Will do my first official weigh in tomorrow morning.

Love seeing some familiar faces still at it here. You are all AMAZING!

4/19: DNW
4/20: 224.8 (-.2) - getting over a terrible cold. Plan for the day is to go on a short walk, keep up with my water goal, and get my Fitbit back up and running.
4/21: 225 (+.2) - I expected this. Too much sodium yesterday.

SW: 199.6 on 4/12

Goals: Lose some weight in 10 days. Even if it’s 0.2 ounces. Weight lifting and closing my rings daily is my goal. Along with averaging a deficit each week!

This is my first round. I will weigh on 4/26. Weighing everyday drives me nuts! I lost 52 pounds over 3 years, but I’ve gained 25 back :-/. Time to get serious about getting it back off!

4/17 - Easter celebrations! 1922 calories, closed activity rings
4/18 - Back on track! 1678 calories, closed activity rings
4/19 - 1794 calories, closed activity rings. Need a little less calories to be in a deficit but don’t want to deprive to the point of wanting to binge.
4/20 - 1870 calories. Did not close rings 😑. Did not exercise
4/21 - 1221 calories and it’s only lunch time! 🫣. 1 hour of cardio is done so rings will be closed. I May lift some weights later today. Obviously I will need to eat a light dinner to stay on track

4/17 192.6 (+3.6) I had a huge binge day yesterday. I was planning to have an indulgence meal and then never stopped. I enjoyed every minute. The beauty of this is that I was confident I could get back on plan. Under calories today and a nice long walk with the dogs on a beautiful Easter Day. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
4/18 192.0 (+3.0) No organized exercise and a busy day today. Weight is starting to drop already. Now, just to stay consistent.
4/19 190.0 (+1.0) Heading to the pool this morning. My vacation begins in two and a half weeks. I’ve got a lot to do before then. I was hoping to be closer to 180 by now, but still happy with all of the progress I’ve made in the last year. I can’t believe I’m 30 pounds away from goal weight. I saw a number of former co-workers yesterday and they told me over and over again how great I looked. Some days I really see the difference and others all I can see are the rolls that still exist. My plan for vacation is to enjoy my meals but to eat smaller portions. I’ll be gone for two weeks. I know I’ll gain weight, but hopefully it resets my body so when I return, I’m in losing mode and can finally bust past this semi plateau. On countdown!!
4/20 189.0 (0) Feeling great today and happy to be back where I started this round. No indulgence meal until the very end. Not much exercise today beyond a walk with the dogs. I started adding half a scoop of protein powder to my oatmeal in the morning. I wasn’t getting quite enough protein.
4/21 190.2 (+1.2) It’s amazing what a salty meal can do. Lucky it’s only temporary. No organized exercise today, just playing with paint.
