@lynnhudzik2019 give yourself some grace! You are only human and every step in the right direction, no matter how small adds up to big results. Don’t push yourself too hard, it’ll just spin & burn you out. You got this! Tomorrow is a new day. Big big hugs for ya’.
@lynnhudzik2019 When I read your post I was thinking the same thing JBean said. Be kind to yourself, this doesn’t happen overnight or even in 10 days. Like you said, one day at a time, believe that!

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)

7/16 118.5 GKI 6.0 Yesterday was a good day. OMAD was ham, 2 eggs, and 32 slices of a new to me keto bread recipe from Wholesome Yum - made with hearts of palm.
**EDIT - Oops, I see the recipe was from “ibreatheimhungry.” Maybe that’s why I couldn’t find it
7/17 119.0 GKI 6.5 Homemade “pulled” pork and squash medley.
7/18 119.5 GKI 10.1 1/2 GG salad w/steak & 1/8 pita and had made strawberry whipped cream sweetened with vanilla bean SF syrup (less than 1/2c portion) **Post post edit - 3-4 days no TMI, finally relieved.
7/19 118.5 GKI 4.6 Finished GG salad early, went to the Apple store, got gasoline (!) and made a hamburger patty for myself had it on two thin slices of the bread I made the other day and ate one cup of leftover squash, pepper and onions. Nothing after 6PM - aiming for 16-18 hour fast which I intend to break with my version of BPC.
7/20 119.5 GKI 6.2 @4:30 AM Rt calf cramp woke me at 2:30 and 4. Gave up, got up, sitting in the dark LR. Community Bingo tonight, no idea what they will have for dinner. Fasting since lun-ner around 2 yesterday.
7/21 119.0 GKI 13.6 19 hour fast. Spent several hours visiting DD#2, DGD#3 and DGGS#1. 😁😁😁I was doing great until the cookies after Bingo! I’ll recover. 🤦♀️🤷♀️
7/22 118.0 GKI 13.3 My eating was great - beef and good veggies with butter but I had a 6 oz glass of sweet red wine - so sweet that I could hardly drink it. Water with ever sip!
7/23 119.0 GKI 8.2 met family for early lunch - some Great Greek salad, 1 slice of gyro meat, no pita, hamburger patty at 5
7/24 119.0 GKI 12.9 ???!!! Beef and salad. No idea unless that fountain dink wasn’t diet.6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
7/16 / 166.4 / Even my husband asked me this morning why my face was so puffy. I had a super long day yesterday- at the final workday corporate event for the Stampede standing on a rooftop patio in hot weather and then a night at the grounds watching live music standing on concrete. Surpassed 20,000 steps again and just did what I needed to avoid heat stroke or dehydration. Off to the lake today.
7/17 / DNW / At the lake and forgot the scale. Supper last night was a nice salad with watermelon and cherries. Got my 10,000 steps and had a nap.
7/18 / 163.8 / Last corporate event for Stampede last night and I went way too hard and hot home way too late. We went and saw Elvis after work today.
7/19 / 165.8 / At the airport to fly back to Ontario to visit my husband's family. Looking forward to enjoying it in the middle of summer as we are usually there more during the shoulder seasons.
7/20 / DNW / Supper and a long walk on the boardwalk when we landed last night. Off to Canada's Wonderland today. So thankful I don't have to worry about fitting on any of the rides.
7/21 / DNW / Unfortunately I am sick again and it's impacted some of our vacation plans. My husband found us a nice suite style apartment for me to lay low at for a few days while I recover.
7/22 / DNW / Had a good night of sleep. Feel pretty good today. We ordered yummy Skip The Dishes last night so I went over my calorie goal. Shouldn't turn to food when I'm feeling sorry for myself but I got caught up in the moment. It happens.
7/23 / DNW / Had a long nap but also went for two super long walks and got over 20,000 steps. I feel pretty good.
7/24 / DNW / We drove to get takeout fish and chips from a favorite childhood spot of my husband's. We also found an amazing donut shop. I walked almost 20,000 steps again. and started my day with veggies so I tried to find balance where I could.

07/23 -198.8- (Trend weight 199.9)I had a houseful yesterday for a meeting of the minds planning my DD’s wedding. I was brought a Chinese dinner and DD brought in cheesecake style cream pies. I ate part of the dinner and will eat the rest today for lunch or dinner. I did eat the pie. I’m grateful for no gain today on the scale. I’ll push water all day because of the Chinese food. It’s a nice treat since we don’t have any Chinese restaurants in the county. But I have to remain mindful! I am still over my start weight this round due to the big overnight Covid drop. I would love to at least match that start weight this round.
07/24 -199.6- (Trend weight 199.8) I was perfectly within calorie and carb limits yesterday. A large amount of calorie burn. Closed all my circles on fitbit in a great way. My sodium was high due to the Chinese leftovers. Still one serving to go on that. This must be fluid retention. Traveling today for some wedding decorating supplies so lunch will be out. The last of the Chinese will probably be later tonight for dinner so I don’t expect tomorrow’s weight at challenge end will be very good. I really don’t feel firmly planted in new decades unless it ends in a 7. I hope to hit 197 this week so I will feel confident on the fluctuations and fluid retention days.

7/18 - 165.3 - 14,500/66. SO made a surprise appearance so exercise was out of whack. Some quality time with him and all the grandkids. So activity was down and snacks & calories were up!! Sorry way way behind on posts again!!
7/19 - 165.9* - 12.900/66. Visited friends campsite. Had a great campfire steak dinner and a couple adult beverages, wonderful night. SO leaves for work Thursday so I've penciled in some big walks maybe oceanside as I think it's going to get real' warm. No hugs needed I still feel in control.
7/20 - 164.7 - 11,800/66. Low key day. After work we grabbed some Wendy's salads and took them to the beach for dinner. Enjoyed the breeze and watched an osprey fish.
7/21 - 166.8 - 13,100/82. Beach picnic with bread, cheese, lemonade, scones, hummus and too many chocolate covered almonds! Another day of high calories and less activity, again not worried. SO has left for work again so I can reel in the extra walks. He wasn't home for very long this time
My scale app says I've gain weight but fat has remained stable, thank you scale!
7/23 - 165.6 - 20,700/144. Got a good evening walk in. If I can find where I put my Costco card I will make the drive for my biweekly trip if not I guess I'll put in another good walk.

7/25 - 162.3 - 57,640 steps 439 minutes 42.06K.🏆 Hit my walk goal Sadly the battery died on my watch or I would have went for 60,000 or even just .10 more as that’s a marathon. Uggghhhhh A man ran to catch up to me and said ‘you walk fast’ and I was at 21k with no music, headphones die too but I can charge those. Feel good this morning had a long hot bath and drank lots of fluids, just an achy ankle last night. Will just work on minimums today.

7/25 This round has been great for me. But while I am down 3lb on the round, I am ‘only’ down 5lb on the last 30 days, with pretty consistent daily behavior. So while the weight can do its own sweet thing in a day or a week, it usually gets in line over a month.7 -

Can't believe round 185 is the last one I completed! But had 2 times of being gone x 10 days each, so maybe that's why. On 6-29 I hit the lowest weight I have been in years!! 143.4!! Then dd & gkids came to visit & it went right back up, lol.

7-15= 147 (calories -90)
My goal each round is to have my AW lower than the round before. On to another round...

7/25 - 162.3 - 57,640 steps 439 minutes 42.06K.🏆 Hit my walk goal Sadly the battery died on my watch or I would have went for 60,000 or even just .10 more as that’s a marathon. Uggghhhhh A man ran to catch up to me and said ‘you walk fast’ and I was at 21k with no music, headphones die too but I can charge those. Feel good this morning had a long hot bath and drank lots of fluids, just an achy ankle last night. Will just work on minimums today.
Holy Walking, Batgirl, That is a LOT!!!
Congratulations!!!🎉🎈🎈🎈🎉

Day/Weight/Comment
7/16: 133.4 - Birthday cake and takeout Indian were the majority of my calories yesterday. Didn’t get my usual workout of Jazzercise, but did take two walks. Great sleep last night!
7/17: 133.6 - Leftover Indian food. Had a couple of good workouts plus we’re washing windows, etc in prep for some house guests. That added a bunch of active points on my watch.
7/18: 133.8 - Still working on that leftover Indian food. Kept calories within target.
7/19: 133.4 - Not sure why the slight dip weight-wise because I ate sooo many carbs yesterday. Good workout and good sleep.
7/20: 132.7 - Normal workouts, good eating, baked some sourdough bread and good sleep.
7/21: 131.2 - Normal workouts and good eating yesterday. However, even though I went to bed early, I slept terribly because I kept waking up. I always seem to get a whoosh when I don’t sleep well which is opposite of what all the research tells you.
7/22: 131.2 - Jazzercise workout and a kind of spin cycle relay competition for charity. Oh my - I have to admire all you cyclists out there - what a workout even in these 5 minute increments/bursts. I ended up lowering my calorie goals to lose a half pound per week from maintenance because I kept cycling at the higher end of maintenance range every week. I'll adjust back if I end up going down too much (ha! I've never, ever lost more than intended and in the past have struggled to maintain for more than a week).
7/23: 132.3 - Fairly high sodium meal last night (take-out) and I ate way more than I should have. Had a late afternoon workout, but that didn’t seem to curb my appetite too much.
7/24: 132.3 - Normal Jazzercise workout but didn’t get my walk in. Ate well and had so-so sleep
7/25: -
Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: - 0.6 pounds7 -
64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 193 ( my 125th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round is just to lose, I want my Commonwealth Volunteer uniform to feel a little less “snug” ! (First shift is Wednesday !! ) No binges, keep within calories & macros.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.

7/17 257.2 finally progress.
7/18 256.6
Exercised 60 min treadmill steady incline.
For those suffering from covid . Hoping you recover quickly . Covid can make you feel like crap. Drink lots of fluids and keep your nutrition up.
As an icu nurse covid is still out there. We still see a few patients a week in the hospital . Most are vaccinated and boosted but they don’t end up on my unit. Last fall / winter when delta hit we were always full and we lost so many and some were young. Yes covid is still out there but each round it is lessening but you still have to be safe.
7/19 257.4 no exercise today off to a busy day at work.
7/20 256.4 . 60 min treadmill interval routine
7/21 255.4
7/22 255.8
7/23 253.0. Another nice drop. I have noticed when I eat more calories combined with exercise it drops . There are days due to work I can only get in around 1000 cal and though I’m busy running around and get the steps in my weight will fluctuate and even gain.
7/24 256 went out to dinner and indulged too much (sodium)

Day/Weight/Comment
7/16 - 152
7/17 - 152.5
7/18 - 150.5 - Back to the office today. I'm drinking plenty of water to hopefully prevent a bounce from the sodium this weekend.
7/19 - 150 - The scale bounced between 149.5 and 150.5 so I'm taking the average. I have a business lunch today at a very popular local Italian restaurant. I'm planning to order a low calorie salad, although it will be hard not to have some of their famous pizza or lasagna.
7/20 - 150 - Okay. I ended up having a half piece of pizza and half of my salad for lunch yesterday. I stayed on plan the rest of the day.
7/21 - 150 - I ate well yesterday.
7/22 - 149.5 - Yay, I hit my goal for the round. I may bounce up tomorrow because of the sodium I'll be eating tonight, but at least my trend is going down.
7/23 - 149.5 - We had Chinese food with the grandson last night, but I watched my quantity. Today is an art festival in the park across from my house. I allow myself one corn dog a year and I'll be getting it at the festival today. I'll watch my eating the rest of the day.
7/24 - 149 - The grandson came back over yesterday afternoon and wanted to try some fair food so I walked back over with him. I managed to keep myself within limits by just taking a taste of each item. My weight may jump tomorrow due to the extra carbs and sodium since it can take a day or two for them to show up, but I'm happy my trend weight is down.
7/25 - 149 - It's been a couple months since my weight has been this low at the end of the round. I'll take it and see you next round!

Determined to get back into shape & do the things I love. Started this journey 4/4/22 at 180lbs and wish I would have found this amazing group sooner.

Day/Weight/Comment: Reflections on previous day
7/16 - 160.1 (-1.1) - Fighting a headache (probably caffeine deprivation) but family is all better again. Created an interesting fusion meal last night and that was fun. Very healthy and kids loved it. 💧144 oz, 🥗Net under, 💪475 kcals, 👟11,424, ⛑+34 PAI (193).
“You may not be there yet, but you are closer than you were yesterday.” - José N Harris
7/17 - 160 (-.1) - 🎉 Wahoo! If nothing else I was hoping to see that tiny little decimal point fall off today. Down 20lbs & feeling great about that. Celebrating with a day at the lake today. 💧176 oz., 🥗 Gross under, 💪 739 kcal’s, 👟 13,970, ⛑+ 65 PAI (244).
“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” - Zig Ziglar
7/18 - 161.2 (+1.2) - Wowsa! I was amped again yesterday! Spent almost 14 hrs at the lake and was actively paddling/swimming just shy of 10hrs. (racing my son + best friend for a fair chunk). Not sure where this burst of energy has come from but I’ll take it. I feel better than I have in at least a month. I was sore while we were still moving + shaking yesterday and today there isn’t a muscle outside of my face that isn’t feeling it! Ate late at Red Robin and treated myself to a big Stella. Once I stopped moving though I was ready to snooze and that’s about what happened as soon as we got back home. Between the muscles, heat and food choices (how late it was to boot) I’m not surprised by the scale but it’ll fall right back off. Scored a never used Vertical Climber for $25 (my goal hitting prize) and can’t wait to pick up this evening. 💧148 oz., 🥗 Net Under, 💪3,245 kcal’s, 👟38,645, ⛑ +75 (262).
“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new” - Socrates
7/19 - 160.7 (-.5) - Still retaining some water. After hopping on vertical climber for a single minute yesterday I can see how much I will love the workout! Legs and many other muscle groups are still sore though so I’ll continue to take it a bit easy on them. 💧144 oz. 🥗 Gross Under (by 2)💪 1hr. walk, Hatha Yoga + Strength👟 12,899 ⛑ +13 (266).
“Keep your vitality. A life without health is like a river without water.” - Maxine Lagacé
7/20 - 159.8 (-.9) - Still feeling my marathon style Sunday but I’ve shed the water now. 💧160 oz., 🥗Gross under, 💪HIIT, Yoga, Walking + Strength 👟13,031 ⛑ +17 (271).
“Just when the caterpillar thought the world was ending it turned into a butterfly” - Chinese Proverb
7/21 - 158.1 (-1.7) - Giving this drop credit from the weekend. Stretch it out, walk it off, repeat. Dying to put my new climber to work but patience is a virtue right? 💧176 oz., 🥗 Net under, 💪HIIT, Tai Chi, Walking + Strength 👟11,457 ⛑+30 PAI (280)
“Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is rest.” - Mark Black

"Believe in yourself. Trust the process. Change forever." - Bob Harper
7/23 - 158.6 (+.4) - Enjoyed my time at the pool yesterday. Put some work in & then basked it the heat while letting the jets massage me for a bit. 💧182 oz. 🥗 Net Under 💪 Water Aerobics, swimming + yoga 👟8,136 ⛑+16 (239).

7/24: 179.6 yes, all my work went out the window. I went on the cruise. i have wanted to go on one for 20 years, but work has stopped me. well, retirement opened opportunities and i planned my cruise. since my baby sister is turning 50 on 7/30, I invited her to go with me as a birthday gift. we were on Royal Caribbean, and visited roatan, costa maya, and cozumel (i have probably spelled every one of those city names incorrectly). i will begin keeping track of my calories again, and MUST go shopping to get healthier options in the house (the man is predictable with donuts and frozen dinners.)
7/25: 180.6 i've only been gone a week, and there's so much routine that has obviously slipped my mind. i forgot to do a morning weigh-in, so this mornings weight is after coffee and breakfast. i didn't drink enough water yesterday, need to get back to at least 8 glasses a day (hopefully more). i'm looking forward to my 173# again (even though that's not where near my goal weight)7 -

Exercised 60 min treadmill steady incline.
For those suffering from covid . Hoping you recover quickly . Covid can make you feel like crap. Drink lots of fluids and keep your nutrition up.
As an icu nurse covid is still out there. We still see a few patients a week in the hospital . Most are vaccinated and boosted but they don’t end up on my unit. Last fall / winter when delta hit we were always full and we lost so many and some were young. Yes covid is still out there but each round it is lessening but you still have to be safe.
7/19 257.4 no exercise today off to a busy day at work.
7/20 256.4 . 60 min treadmill interval routine
7/21 255.4
7/22 255.8
7/23 253.0. Another nice drop. I have noticed when I eat more calories combined with exercise it drops . There are days due to work I can only get in around 1000 cal and though I’m busy running around and get the steps in my weight will fluctuate and even gain.
7/24 256 went out to dinner and indulged too much (sodium)

I was out of control yesterday, though. Midday winery did not help me maintain control at alll. Then we had some neighborhood friends and their kids over and the drinking continued. I mountain biked 6.5 HARD miles yesterday morning and burned 700 calories. I did not track at all yesterday, though. I'm sure I went over despite the mega burn. It was a really fun day though! I did not meet my challenge goal but I'm grateful my weight at least dropped ever so slightly below where it started this round. See ya in the next one!8 -

Hi All - I'm in for round 4 for me. These challenges are working for me and the support from the group is priceless. The next 10 days will be tough because I'm away from my Peloton and on a working vacation in Florida. I lost a little over 2 pounds last round (did some yo-yo-ing in the middle). I'm hoping to keep the downward trend going, exercising daily, and making/sticking to my meal plans.

I was hoping for a bigger loss, but I'll take it. I'm still on a working vacation, where normally I'd be gaining weight. Vacation or not, weekends are packed full of activity and eating out, so it's easy to go off-plan or not have one at all.8 -
