    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 almost 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)

    **Comments apply to previous day**

    SW RND 187 120.0
    5/17 120.0 GKI 5.4 Today is our 52nd wedding anniversary. Our #2 DGD arrives tonight for 4 days.
    5/18 120.0 GKI 7.5 Mexican restaurant- chimichanga and chips 🤦‍♀️ DH didn’t feel well later and neighbor and I picked up DGD#2 at the airport. Community bingo tonight. No idea what they will have for dinner. Can’t believe I didn’t post this morning. I guess that’s what happens when you’re awake before 4am!
    5/19 120.0 GKI 19.4 Got 206% of my steps. Pizza at Bingo last night. Tonight I’m going to Area 15 with DD#2 and DGD#2 - List Spirits Distillery.
    5/20 120.0 GKI 14 Distillery was disappointing. If you’re a dark rum drinker you might like it. 🤮

    @deepwoodslady Donna, you need to share information with your friends and family that as a diabetic, carbs are NOT GOOD for you. Just sayin’! Love you my MFP friend!

    @quiltingjaine Interestingly enough, the friend who brought the dinner over is also diabetic (but hers is in much better control). Family and friends do know. They consider it "a treat". Truly, it is me and all the in-between time that is making things go south for me. When I am on my game at home (90% of the time) my weight and A1C is much better. I can tolerate the temporary flux's from travel and treats. It's all on me. I've got to get back in the game. I just got so tired of the low carb foods I began to gag on them. But low carb is what works for me best, it's what is recommended for diabetics, and it certainly is what my doctor wants to see me doing. I can't wait to get my kitchen back. It is more helpful when I can batch cook, or cook at all. I miss using my stove and have been living by microwave, crock pot etc. since March. Weeks and weeks to go! Thanks for the push though. Low carb is the answer for me, for sure.

    @deepwoodslady - Hi Donna, We all know what to do and what works. It is a matter of applying it consistently and that is the hard part. You will get there, just hang in there with the rest of us :) We can do this! The important thing is never giving up. I agree with you, at times we are just going to get tired for a minute or so but that is why I feel weighing daily helps us. It helps us us not to fall into a deep hole. Keep up the good work!! It is friends like you (@quiltingjaine, Terri, etc.) and other regulars on this thread that help encourage me to keep at it.

    Round 187 ( my 119th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.

    Just want to stick with it !!
    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 then 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
    5/17 136.4 – DS wedding day. Yesterday we travelled up to Sheffield to help with preparations particularly in their garden for the reception, tent & gazebo erected, bunting hung, afternoon tea stands constructed etc. Today we get their house early to help with last minute preps. & look after the little ones whilst the bride has her hair & make up done etc. And the sun is shining, the sky is blue. Report back later tomorrow.
    5/18 136.4 – Yesterday was a wonderful day, youngest DGD (11 months) led her DS (aged 3), bride & bride's DF down the aisle pushing her walker festooned with flowers – she stole the show!! Bride looked stunning & DS so handsome – he has lost 2 stone for this day!! The whole day went very smoothly and was laid back just as they wanted, everyone had a brilliant day. So lovely to have DIL finally officially “part of our family” even though she has been our 2nd DD for a decade or so. Today it was back to their house to help take tent & gazebo down & last tidying up after they had all left for their honeymoon (DGDs too) down to Cornwall, and then we travelled back home.
    5/19 137.8 – not surprised really as I enjoyed the day!! Child minding little DGS today.
    5/20 137.8 – 8.51 miles walked all pushing little DGS in his buggy. Food was not good though :(.
    5/21 137.2 – 4.19 miles recorded, yesterday I started a new seasonal job; exam invigilator at a local secondary school. I am disappointed that my Fitbit does not seem to seem to count the slow gentle quiet steps during the 2.5 hour exam!! Maybe next week I'll try strapping it to my ankle? Food was good all day until we had a delicious piece of wedding cake made by DIL, should have had a slither not a chunk !!!

    @musicsax OMG, the wedding has happened! Congratulations, it sounds like such a wonderful day. This morning, I was sorting out being ready for my nephew's wedding next weekend, and I remembered that you had your son's wedding coming around the same time. In my distraction, I missed it. So sorry. So glad everything was perfect and you had such a happy day!! <3

    Day/Weight/Calories/Comment

    5/17 - 181.4
    I did a bit better yesterday/last night, but definitely a work in progress. Off to teach a doggy obedience class, then home to work more in my garden. I spend three hours yesterday manually edging a bed, digging out heavy clay. Definitely weight training!

    5/18 - 181
    Stayed within calories yesterday, and got lots of “real life” exercise—3 hours of dog training & teaching an obedience class + two hours digging out more garden border and planting a few seedlings. It’s rainy today, but I got a bit of garden time between rains.

    5/19 - 181
    Went way over with cheese yesterday—wonderful sharp white cheddar. Oh, well. Back on track today.

    5/20 - 180.8
    Off to stock up on veggies for salads and soup, then back to the garden. I have a bunch of seedlings to get into the ground—zinnias, cosmos, nasturtiums, sunflowers, more. Will be colorful! Happy Friday, all!

    5/21 - 181
    Calories good, salt a bit high.

    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: 137.8
    Cats: Harry 10 lb 14.0 oz; Han Solo 11lb 11.5 oz

    5/17 – 137.8 Man, I am just struggling to get my act together. I am not sure I ever even managed to post during round 186. So at least, here is a post. I am going to try and post each day for this round, and honestly track. fingers crossed!!

    5/18 – 137.2 Yesterday, I made it through the day calorically. Tracked in full. Could not coordinate exercise, which I need to fix. Then, in the evening, new stressors hit. I should have used that as exercise impetus, but instead it meant I got into cheese and crackers that were not tracked. Shocked I went down. Today is looking good. Will try and keep “my eye in the prize”!

    5/19 – 136.6 Actually did a good day! Calories all on track, and somehow I closed all my apple rings without official exercise.

    5/20 – 135.6 Yay for me! Ok, still not formal exercise, but I avoided bad food choices for two days in a row. Last night was also “lazy night” ie subs for dinner. As a study, I disassembled the sub and weighed the total, then the bread, and estimated each of the components. (Yes, I reassembled before eating. :) ) I then tracked it and saved on MFP as a meal.

    5/21 – 135.6 Even with yesterday. I finally exercised again! Yes, it was only walking, but I have done nothing since leaving Florida three weeks ago. Got out again this morning before writing this check-in. I need to establish the habit again like I had a year ago. Tracking and food choices are good enough. I won’t weigh what I hoped to for nephew’s wedding, but that’s life. More importantly, I need to do my exercise and eat healthfully to get my health markers back on track. Last fall’s rapid, stress-induced weight gain combined with no exercise gave me some concerning numbers. Gotta focus on the long run!!

    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 almost 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)

    **Comments apply to previous day**

    SW RND 187 120.0
    5/17 120.0 GKI 5.4 Today is our 52nd wedding anniversary. Our #2 DGD arrives tonight for 4 days.
    5/18 120.0 GKI 7.5 Mexican restaurant- chimichanga and chips 🤦‍♀️ DH didn’t feel well later and neighbor and I picked up DGD#2 at the airport. Community bingo tonight. No idea what they will have for dinner. Can’t believe I didn’t post this morning. I guess that’s what happens when you’re awake before 4am!
    5/19 120.0 GKI 19.4 Got 206% of my steps. Pizza at Bingo last night. Tonight I’m going to Area 15 with DD#2 and DGD#2 - Lost Spirits Distillery.
    5/20 120.0 GKI 14 Distillery was disappointing. If you’re a dark rum drinker you might like it. 🤮
    5/21 121.5 GKI 51.5 LOTS OF WINE! Great day with DGD#2 & DH and fun evening with DD#2 & DGD#2 doing a craft project at the winery.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    5/17 - day 1 again. Feeling optimistic. Joined this app again after being inactive for two years. Food planned for the day, hope to stay put.
    5/18- Morning mood: woke up feeling energetic and happy. I haven't had a good day in terms of healthy choices and self discipline in ages. Determined to make it to a streak of 2. End of day: Had a good day overall but felt hungry at times. In the evening, I almost gave in to the late evening snack monster, but ended up having a few hazelnuts instead.
    5/19 - Morning: Feeling really hopeful and determined to keep this streak up for as long as I can. I've forgotten how much tracking helps. I've organized my meals for the day and hope for the best. With the weekend ahead I feel very grateful for this head start.
    5/20 - Almost didn't check in today because of lack of time at work. Thankfully, I thought it over and realized it took me just 3 minutes to log in, log my food and write these lines. Made me feel so much better. Meeting a friend for a drink tonight, so I'm nervous about my choices, especially with the weekend around the corner. But with this new-found confidence, I hope I can make it.
    5/21 weigh-in this morning 73,7! Finally starting to feel like myself again, less bloated and feeling full all the time. I also just realized that I made it half way through this challenge quite easily. Definitely joining the next one. Anyway, the dreaded weekend is here. I have a dinner party tonight and a children's birthday party tomorrow morning. Thankfully the friend who is cooking tonight is into healthy food and usually doesn't go overboard but I'm still very nervous. If anyone is reading this and has any tips, they're greatly appreciated.

    @Veraandriop I would say that if you can't control the types of foods that are offered, just watch the portion sizes. This also helps develop healthier new habits. But above all, the best advice is to have fun!

    Day/Weight/Comment
    05/16 …..203.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
    05/17 …..204.2 ….. (Trend weight 203.2) All day travel throughout Northern Michigan yesterday with a friend who had an appointment to look at a new (used) vehicle. Then lots of fun girl time and travel hitting car lots within a 200 mile vicinity. We think we found something after hours. Waiting for a return call today. Nice meal at a steak house. Snacks weren’t good.

    05/18 …..204.4 ….. Trend weight 203.2) Dinner out with one of my children last night. Late Mother’s Day dinner. Mexican. Today is my PC doctor appointment and glucose check. I know it won’t be good. I am beginning to suffer from severe Acid Reflux again. All the problems of obesity are returning. I know I have to get more serious and stay more consistent or more trouble is coming.

    05/19 …..203.4 ….. (Trend weight 203.3) A friend brought dinner over last night. It was a pasta casserole which was loaded with chicken. I think I really needed the protein. My A1C went down at my doctor appointment but is still way to high standing at 10 point something. She wants to see me at 6.4 . She is going to see if another injectable medicine can be approved by my insurance company as she thinks I am having an allegric reaction to Trulicity (rash at injection site). Obviously she wants me to increase movement and lower my carbs to lower weight and glucose. She talked about my weight and how it will affect the cancer remission. Scary stuff.

    05/20 …..201.0 ….. (Trend weight 203.0) A big drop on the scale which is mostly water weight. With all the travel of late I had not been able to take my water pill (heart) which I take 3 times per week. I also had extra fluid buildup from the swelling caused by the gnat bite attack. Also, a very early dinner last night, but it did lead to some snacking later. I kept that snacking under pretty good control, however. I would say my real weight is more like 202. We will see what happens tomorrow.

    05/21 …..201.6 ….. (Trend weight 202.9) This is likely my true weight at this point. I like that it is at 201 point because it makes me feel like Onederland can be achieved soon. Of course, until I hit 197 point I don’t feel secure in it so I still have a way to go but I’m feeling hopeful as the good weather enters Northern Michigan more consistently. I am happy to see my trend weight went down a bit.

    05/22 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

    05/23 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

    05/24 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

    05/25 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

    05/26 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s

    This is from trendweight.com It is also synced to my fitbit. Since Mother's Day and my birthday (May 10th) My weight went up 3 to 4 pounds and has stayed that way for 11 days. Finally turning it around. Gotta keep up the momentum!
