Day/Weight/Comment
7/26: 131.6 - A little surprised by the slight drop. The day started with a lot of carbs as I was baking for an upcoming event. I was also super sleepy and tired in the afternoon, but did motivate myself enough to do both of my workouts. Dinner was a frittata to counteract all of the carbs.
7/27: 132.7 - Pizza night last night as well as some more baking to take to our new neighbors. Got my Jazzercise workout in but didn’t have much time for my normal walk other than a quick trip around the block.
7/28: 131.8 - Late workout and early-ish dinner and poor sleep. A few of my neighbor ladies and I have a crocheting get-together every week or so. Mostly it’s about the wine and the camaraderie since we’re all complete novices. We’re making the most expensive and ugly sweater!
7/29: 133.2 - Made fresh grilled salsa from tomatoes one of our neighbors gifted us. Since it contains no oil, all the calories are coming from the chips! Oh well. Got my workout in early, but had a little bit of evening snacking.
7/30: 132.9 - Late workout and late dinner. Slept well.
7/31: 132.9 - Went over a bit in calories as I wasn’t keeping track of my sampling during baking and we had take out. Got both my workouts in though and great sleep.
8/1: 132.9 - Lots of sourdough making yesterday - today we will see the fruits of the labor. Got my workout in as well as some deep cleaning in preparation for people coming over.
8/2: 133.8 - A carb-laden binge could not be overcome by two workouts.
8/3: 133.8 - Ate under calories yesterday but only got one workout in. Good sleep.

07/26 - 161.3 -18,600/124. It's pretty warm here for here lol. I cooked some salmon for dinner in the airfryer, so nice to have for summer cooking but the heat has suppressed my hunger. I did eat my calories but didn't feel hungry, it's kinda weird. Sleep seemed good but my eyes seem tired this morning, could be the struggle I had with one of my contacts getting stuck in my eyelid! Have a wonderful day all!
07/27 - 159.8 - 22,000/138. Not sure where that drop came from. It's been really warm here so possible just water loss. Someone brought in my absolute favorite dessert from a local restaurant and I ate most of my piece, so good! Wasn't sure how to calculate the calories, might have over estimated but I wasn't super hungry and did have a good dinner. Will see how these 10 days and the weather go and I might up my calories again. Had a terrible sleep, will be a long day.
07/28 - 159.6 - 24,295/155. Had a late night snack as after getting ready for bed I looked at my diary and thought that my calories were 'kinda low. Had some fruit and a tiny chocox treat I got from Costco. Glad it didn't effect my sleep. I'm 52 today and will celebrate with my Parents as SO is out of town working and my boys are at a music festival and the step girls and grands live out of town. Sushi and cake, scale will jump in the morning, but it's ok I'm gonna get right back!! Not sure how walks and steps will go but I should even it out on the weekend unless SO makes it home! You can help me celebrate by not being too hard on yourselves or adding a few extra steps today!!
07/29 - 160.8 - 14,200/80. Extra calories (cake, sushi and chips!!) and just one walk. Not too bad of an uptick but there could be more in the days ahead. Had a great day with a surprise visit from SD#1 and grandson. SO is heading home and with long weekend traffic and a major ferry to get through, he might be stuck on the other side, will see. Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes and any extra steps, very much appreciated!! 🌺🌼🌸
07/30 - 160.1 - 24,700/169. Got a good walk in before SO got home, hot out.
07/31 - 162.7 - 16,600/80. Really hot out just a one walk in after the sun was down.
08/01 - 165.5 - 12,100/31. Spent the day with all the grandkids together. The very first time!! Great great day. High in calories and low in burn. Spent 5 hours at the water park!! Watch read a burn of 654 usually I'm hitting 1000 but I was super tired last night and this morning!! lol I did carry one of them for a lot of the time so maybe not an accurate read... But the scale says "missed the mark" No hugs needed, I will see that 5 again!! Feeling bloated the last few days! Also I didn't make my watch challenge. was to burn 31,900 calories missed it by about 600. Needed to get in 1 good walk but was really hot and I got stung by a bee on the bottom of my foot, so I didn't push it. I'm a little disappointed but oh well. August is to hit 479.5 km, that;s 15.46 a day!! If this heat keeps up not sure I'll get that either.
08/02 - 164.6 - 13,200/61 Had some extra snacks. Forgot my protein for my lunch which may have sent me towards some snacks. No second walk and SO is still home.
08/03 - 164.9 - 14,500/100. Dinner with one of the boys and GF. Then we got ice cream, but we walked there!! SO is off to work but just a day or 2. Then I am off for the week. No real plans as of yet, depends on how many days SO gets.

08/02 -202.0- (Trend weight 201.4) I weighed at hospital on different scale this morning. I’m okay post-surgery. They changed the surgery up a bit. Some for good reasons, some for not-so-good but they promise I will be able to breathe much better soon. No improvement yet and I really thought the better breathing would be immediate. Taking it easy and following Drs orders. Lots of changes in the meds.
08/03 -201.6- (Trend weight 201.4)The heart surgeon I met for the first time when I was in the OR. He said that he will not triple stent me, if it becomes 100% necessary, he will do a by-pass but he wasn’t in the mood to crack open any ribs that day. Yikes! He thought that two of the blockages could be managed with new meds for now but one was further blocked than the CTA test indicated. It was 76% blocked instead of 50%. So he stented that one, changed my cholesterol meds to 80 mg instead of 10 mg. Added the blood thinner recommended for those specifically with stents, added another heavy-duty blood pressure med to go with my other and gave me an emergency script for nitro just in case. He said my breathing on exertion should improve but it’s still rough breathing so far. Gotta heal up I guess. No exercise for a week and then light moderate like walking or bike. Breathing was worse yesterday instead of better but so far today, I feel a little improvement. Glad it’s over. Thanks again to all of you for the well wishes, personal IM’s and hugs. You are all the best friends a girl could ever ask for!

@deepwoodslady I've been thinking of you and glad to hear you're starting to improve a little. I'm sure it isn't easy to go through such an invasive surgery and I hope your quality of life is vastly improved! Glad that they caught the blockages before they caused more problems. Best of luck with your recovery.

8/3 - 136! Getting closer to goal! Is the challenge really over tomorrow?! Was going to have dinner out tonight but I’m rethinking that plan just because of this challenge. I like to pick up our CSA share and go to a restaurant near the farmer’s market, but I really don’t want to see an increase on the scale if I can help it. I’ll get the CSA share early and cook with it instead. I took the dogs for a brisk 3-mile walk this morning, and I'm hoping to get a Peloton ride in during lunch time.

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!

Day-Weight-Comment
7/29-259.4-Starting the 10 day challenge. Trying to hold myself accountable. I'm getting married in October, and I don't want to look back on my pictures and hate the way that I look. My goal is to lose at least 20 pounds before October 8th. This isn't my first time dieting down, and I know I can do it. Eating around 1200-1400 calories/day since Monday. Today I've been hungry every moment of being awake, and its taking some strength.
7/30-259.2-A little disappointed with my weight today. was expecting to be down by more than 0.2 lbs. a little demoralizing. Being a little less disciplined today than I have been over the last week. Got a new shirt and sent a pic to my group chat today. one of my friends mentioned that I was looking slimmer than usual, that felt good, but I was also trying to keep my diet under wraps. That way I'm not gonna let people down if nothing happens.
7/31-259.2-Still the same weight as yesterday went to dinner at a my uncle's house. He's never been a good cook, and his recipes are dated. mac and cheese where the noodles are way over cooked, and there 's no flavor. pork ribs that are essentially steamed in the oven, and then finished with BBQ sauce. no actual flavor of the ribs or spice ribs, only taste like BBQ sauce. My grandma brought over an Apple Streusel, she always makes cookies and tries to bring dessert. Only had dessert because not a lot of people were eating any. I tried on suits during the day, and I can start to feel the fit being a little better. Probably went over my calories, but I wasn't gonna bring my scale with me for dinner.
8/1-257.6-Felt really good today after getting off the scale. Friday and Saturday I had Chipotle, and I think it made me a little bloated over the weekend. Didn't do any walking over the weekend, but I got a lot done. I'm feeling really good and my button down shirt I put on for work today felt good.
8/2-257.8-Spent a lot of money at the grocery store yesterday, and still didn't lose any weight damn. well it is what it is. I felt exhauseted all day today. I think I just ate breakfast too late, and didn't get any good sleep. We are watching a friends dog right now, and the dog insists on sleeping in bed with us. I don't mind too much, but it makes sleeping a little hard.
8/3-256.6-My weigh in made me feel really good today. Almost at my goal for my first 10 days of accountability challenge. Only walked about 20 minutes yesterday, just wasn't feeling mentally up to it, and it was getting a little dark for the path I usually go on. I though today, wow I'm almost under 250 again. I can see my double chin starting to get little bit tighter and my stomach starting to get smaller.

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.

@deepwoodslady I've been away, and only just caught up on the group. Will be thinking of you and am glad to hear you're starting to improve a little. Invasive surgery isn’t easy, but hopefully your quality of life will quickly improve. It’s god that that they caught the blockages before they caused more problems. Best of luck with your recovery.
@schmoyew Congrats 🎉 on the birth of your 👶🏻 girl.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 194 ( my 126th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round is just to lose, I want my Commonwealth Volunteer uniform to keep feeling a little less “snug” ! (3 shifts out of 10 completed !! ) 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.

Was pleased to get to the end of my shift !
8/1 138.6 - no structured walking, travelled up to DD to celebrate little DGD 2nd liversary, all the family were there and again we also have thanks to the wonderful donors family, without that new liver little Leo would not be here now. Treats indulged in, but only an apple later for tea as not hungry.

8/3 136.4 – 6.83 miles walked. A day off from volunteering today, we had tickets for the gymnastics finals, the atmosphere in the arena was electric, we both really enjoyed it !
