    8/17: 214.9!
    I got a new scale. After much deliberation I decided to go with this weight. My old scale said 217.5 three times this morning. The new scale said 214.9 three times this morning. So the only thing I had was a 10 pound bag of cat food to calibrate. The old scale said “error” when I weighed the cat food and the new scale said 10.1 pounds. Since I will be using the new scale from here on out, I went with the new scale reading.

    @joans1976 aren't those scales the most frustrating things! my scale constantly gives me different #'s! you give me inspiration to purchase a new one....just not quite yet.... i'm terrified of it giving me higher weights right now.

    Lost a lot of water weight that first week!

    Current ultimate goal: to reach ONE-derland. We’ll see what happens after that!

    Sunday was a crazy day so happy to jump back into it with home cooked meals! Staying positive!


    8/15 231.9
    8/16 232.8 (Asian food last night)
    8/17 232.2 (was really hoping it would be down a little more… But I can’t gripe. I’m sticking within my calories and lower carbs but night time is hard… Almost always have to have a small chocolate treat. At least I’m counting it.)

    @Uebey i have my guilty pleasure at night also. just before i go to bed, i have a slice of white bread with peanut butter. i also log my treat 1st thing in the morning. logging it 1st thing, helps me stay on track throughout the rest of the day.

    My 157th Round!

    There has been a lot of drama in my family the past week. My brother in law, who suffers from Parkinson's disease psychosis, left his home on foot a week ago. We have been searching for him ever since. I'm just trying to keep it together and not eat my feelings this round. My husband and I also have a short vacation to Niagara Falls booked for the 22nd - 25th. With all that's going on with his family, we are not sure we will be going.

    After losing 12 lbs. I was stuck at 174lbs. for a couple weeks until I found this challenge.

    @deepwoodslady I’m not sure where your doctor stands but the ADA has finally recognized (a few years ago) that lowering carbs makes a difference. I will add “especially those junk carbs.” Here are a couple of web articles. Because you are diabetic, you do have to avoid a drastic cut and ketoacidosis. So many people have changed their diets to low carb and dropped enormous amounts of insulin. I feel as if we are old friends and I hate to harp on low carb but it has truly been a game changer for me. I’m not a medical professional so I will say that you should tell your doctor and see what he says. While I was never diabetic, I had been told decades ago that I was insulin resistant and been on a lowered carb diet with great results. The problem was going off the DIET. That’s why I no longer call it a diet but a LIFESTYLE.

    How many carbs should I eat to lower my a1c?
    Diets containing 20–50 grams of carbs per day have also been shown to lower blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of disease in people with prediabetes ( 17 ).

    Does a low carb diet help lower a1c?
    In summary, the 30%-carbohydrate diet over 6 months led to a remarkable reduction in HbA1c levels, even among outpatients with severe type 2 diabetes, without any insulin therapy, hospital care or increase in sulfonylureas. 🔅The effectiveness of the diet may be comparable to that of insulin therapy.🔅

    Effects of a low-carbohydrate diet on glycemic control in outpatients ...


    @quiltingjaine Thank you for the resources. I will definitely read them. I do know how much lowering carbs can help the blood sugars. In macros, however, it also ends up raising the fats and protein. And fats are something I now have to worry about too because of my heart and cholesterol. I know that some fats are healthier than others, but I do have the watch the overall quantity. Boy am I ever confused! One doctor wants low fat and heart healthy, the other low carb, and each for different reasons! I see the cardiologist on Aug 24th (the surgeon I don't see until Sept 9). I am going to start with her and see what this gal is supposed to do! I do know one thing, the butter, the over abundance of eggs, the heavy whipping cream in my recipes, etc. would not be allowed. Certainly not my beloved bulletproof coffee that helps keep me satiated. I feel lost.

    OSW: 237.8 (Nov. 2016)
    OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
    Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205

    Goals for this round:

    1. Generally, show some semblance of discipline. Exercise more. Eat less.
    2. Major Goal this round is to make even a little bit of progress toward my maintenance range.
    3. Most Important….Resist mindless shoveling of food into my cake hole! This is a big one.

    Round 196 Posts

    Managed to complete the weekend without ignoring goal number 3. Huge!

    8/17: 213
    /not a blasted thing/ busy all day yesterday with work and Dr appointment. Starting (just starting mind you) to get back to enjoying the feeling that I am hungry (First World Hungry, not really hungry.) This has been essential to progress for me in the past.

    When I gain weight, I usually let my eyes decide (see food diet) if I am going to eat it, not my hunger/common sense.

    I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

    @musicsax Prayers for you AND us to get some much needed rain!

    I know that lately there have been news stories (at least in the US) of floods in Las Vegas. Those floods seem to be closer to The Strip which is 7 miles west of us. Most water goes into flood channels and is directed to Lake Mead. We, and the east side, have had about a thimble full of drops so far THIS YEAR. The decades long drought continues. 🙏🙏🌧 ☔️ for all of us!
