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)

Today is day one. I got up a bit earlier than normal. And did a short at home walking video. And my goal today is to drink all my water.

I did get all my water in yesterday. I did get up earlier today, but did not work out. So my goal today is to drink all my water and go for walks after work.

@quiltingjaine a 36 hour fast! Wow! We have regular meals every day because of my kids so I’m not sure a 24+ hour fast would be doable, but 20 hours the last couple days has been manageable! I’ve been very hungry by the end, but my eating window actually only ended up being 2 hours yesterday and I was fine! I feel like I always panic toward the end of the window (8pm usually) but yesterday felt like a bit of a breakthrough. My last bit of food was before 7pm. I had fibrous cereal so maybe that helped. Thanks for the encouragement! Sometimes I’m not sure of the wisdom of IF so it’s nice to hear from someone that has seen results.

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.

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.

@KayHBE you are missing a check mark! Smashing all your goals the last few days, how exciting! Congrats on finding the 150’s.

KayHBE

@JbeanR0212 I haven't checked it because of a combination of 2 things, my trend weight isn't there yet and it doesn't seem real ... yet. I think the drop is because it was so hot sleeping last night that there was extra water loss. Don't get me wrong I am elated that the scale has 5's!!! Thank you for your cheering to myself and everyone. You're a great human to have in our corner!!

Hi my name is Lynn!
I'm 62 yrs old and am starting my 2nd round of this challenge at 204.8. I lost 2.4 pounds thus far. My goal weight is 160 lbs. 🤞 I struggle with late night eating, emotional eating and not keeping my new lifestyle of heath outside of my home environment, so I tend to give up at restaurants (it's only 1 meal, right) and my father in laws (he has cookies, donuts, pies everywhere!).

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)

ROUND 194
SW: 179.2

Day/Weight/Comment

7/26: 179.2 puffy leg this morning. that's not new, and i think it may have reduced a little since yesterday. salt intake was high yesterday, i'll have to watch that. calories and macros were great! so many things to stay focused on.

7/27: 177.2 keeping up with the water is helping. leg is practically back to normal, just a little puff around the ankle. calories and macros were on point again, but sadly sodium was still a little high.

7/28: 175.8 i think all the water weight is gone... the rest is probably the actual weight i gained. i usually eat a slice of white bread w/peanut butter as a snack for the last thing i eat. it carries me through 'til breakfast. i messed up last night and missed my snack. ended up eating PB bread at 2am today, so calories will be over today, and were under yesterday.

Day/Weight/Comment

7/26 - 149 - I'm happy the weekend carbs haven't snuck up on me. Staying within plan so I hope I can maintain this loss this week.
7/27 - 148.5 - This is what happens when I weigh and track every piece of food I eat. Eventually, the weight comes off.
7/28 - 149.5 - And sometimes for no apparent reason, the weight comes back. All I can do is keep tracking.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/26 - 206.4 - I'm back! So after I lost 115+ lbs, I stopped recording weight and I've put about 12 lbs back on. Some of it is muscle for sure as I'm working out daily and my legs/arms are getting bigger but my diet needs to get better. I have a child on the way literally any day now (yesterday was due date) and I'm re-focused on being as healthy as possible!
7/27 - 206.1 - Down is down. Really trying to focus on my diet as my exercise is all there, but it's hard to not anxiety eat right now. Did 70 minutes of strength training this morning, maybe getting in a 30 minute ride tonight. No snacking today please...
7/28 - 204.4 - Just weighing myself every day and writing in here has such an effect on my habits. I go to get an additional snack or something and I think “ugh I’ll have to tell the people on MFP about it so I’ll pass.” So much of this is mental. Got a 30 minute ride in this morning and 10 minutes of core. I’ll do more strength after work.

Previous days

7/26 Started to post but then got distracted by something else.
7/27 125. Was 123ish when I weighed on Sunday. Started a new strength program (Thinner, Leaner, Stronger) after not lifting for about three weeks because of vacation and then getting back into the swing of things when we got home. I can at least say that me at 125 now feels a lot different than me at 125 two years ago. I definitely feel a bit swollen/sore from my body getting used to the routine but I know in a few weeks it’ll drop a bit. I’m also trying to maintain a slight deficit to slowly lose. My goal is to lower my body fat while building muscle, so this loss will probably be slower than I’d like to see.
On a personal note, I got the job as a lead that I had mentioned a month or two ago and my first day was Monday this week. I can already tell that I’m going to like it a lot! I also start a little later in the morning so I’m going to make it a point to post each day now that I have a little bit of time when I get home from the gym.

Ps. Sorry I’ve been so missing, life just got hectic with trying to wrap up the job and us going on vacation for a couple weeks. I did pop in from time to time just to read through the posts. I hope everyone has been doing well and enjoying their summer!

7/28 125 maybe less because this was after my protein shake. Worked out this morning. Today was a push day. I like how the 5 day split is a relatively quick workout too. It’s typically 4-5 exercises with 3 sets of 8-10 reps and then I add 20 minutes of cardio at the end and I still end up finishing in about an hour. For anyone interested Monday and Friday is lower body/leg day, Tuesday is upper body, Wednesday is a pull day (deadlifts plus 3 upper body/back exercises), Thursday is upper body/push day & abs (all upper body: shoulder press, chest press, triceps, and captain chair leg raises). At the end of I feel spent in a good way but not like I’m going to be dragging all day from it.

I’ve been starting each morning pre-workout with a whey protein shake with 20 grams of protein and having a bit of fruit around 20 carbs worth. It’s either been blueberries, cherries, or dates depending on my mood. I find my workouts are a lot more enjoyable with some food in my stomach. Then, I follow my workout with another 20 grams of protein and 50 grams worth of carbs. I then have a lunch consisting of some type of protein, veg and a small amount of fruit if I want something sweet. Then, dinner is some type of protein with veggies (sometimes starchy veg like corn on the cob) and/or salad. Although, last night we had cavatelli with sauce and meatballs and I also had a salad of fresh greens with an orange tomato plus a tablespoon of Trader Joe’s spicy peanut dressing (from the refrigerator section). I recently tried that dressing and it is so good! It’s only 70 calories for two tablespoons and it goes a long way because of how flavorful it is. I can’t wait to try it as a peanut noodle sauce with my fiber gourmet spaghetti for peanut noodles. Happy almost Friday!

Day/Weight/Comment
07/25 …..203.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/26 -202.8- (Trend weight 200.4) Good Luck everyone this round. May all our dreams come true!

07/27 -202.6- (Trend weight 200.4) A drop in weight after travel? Hmmmm. It’s bound to show up sooner or later so I’m bracing myself. More (unexpected) travel today to take my older friend downstate to her dr appointment. Then my own travel again tomorrow for the cardiologist and some results/plans. Gotta keep it under control but all my fitbit circles remain open when I travel and my calories are always over. A recipe for disaster! I can’t wait to get through this week. Exhausted!

07/28 -204.4- (Trend weight 201.0) More travel today. I hope to catch up on a couple of days’ posts later this evening.

07/29 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)
