9/4-133.8. Not surprised to see a gain. We had sushi and dim sum takeout last night for our anniversary. I did go overboard but most of the gain is probably attributable to salt and TOM’s unexpected arrival. I’ll get back in the saddle today.

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.

9/4 120.5 I got together with my “old” gal pals yesterday. Charcuterie board, “Buffalo” nuts and toffee nuts as well as a couple of adult beverages. I had “made” the nuts and discovered that a lot of the Buffalo seasoning was in the box so was ate some of that after I got home and drank lots of water. Perhaps I have retained some H2O but still no TMI. Maybe the excess water will help. 🤷♀️🤷♀️ Not concerned3 -

9/4 245.2. Dinner out last night . I had lamb salad with fresh pita bread at a local Greek restaurant. They make their own creamy Greek dressing with feta which is amazing but I’m sure a lot of sodium .

73 years old (5'2")- My weight is all on my waistline. I write so my lifestyle is pretty much a "Couch Potato", Although, I do have an exercise room and use the treadmill when the clothes are not hanging off the handlebar. Basically, I need motivation. I am not a fan of sugary food but do crave salty foods. I do like a glass (or two) of wine for dinner but have added ice to a 5oz glass and noticed I am drinking less. I mainly eat at home as my hubby is a great cook and I have never liked fast food. Thanks for this motivation !!!

I have done this challenge before and it really helped keep me on track to healthy living. I have since gained most of that weight back (and then some) but I'm not discouraged. I am a 21-year old varsity college athlete who is just looking to lean up a bit - taking small goals at a time as weight-loss isn't my goal - just trying to lean myself into a healthier lifestyle.Round 146: -5.1lbs

9/4: 186.0 - a pleasant surprise. Did not count calories yesterday as I had a game and usually nutrition-wise I am usually a little more lenient as I tend to consume a lot in preparation for a high-intensity match with large cal burns. Last night was also a night of drinking which may turn out to be my vice when it comes to healthy living. A lot less motivated today to do anything such as meal prep on my day off.

I didn’t eat all the super-sweet frosting and I didn’t lick my plate so there’s that lol! I’ll post pictures later when they show up in google photos. Good luck everyone this round. It’s the last (partial) month of summer. Let’s make it count!

9/4: 134.9 - Holding steady. Finally finished most of the leftovers from our dinner party on Tuesday. Finally seeing some daylight in the refrigerator and freezer. Got my workout in, but spent most of the day doing sourdough-related prep (2 Tartine Country Loaves, 2 cranberry-walnut loaves, 2 ciabatta loaves, 4 balls of pizza dough). Most of those will go home with my daughter and her boyfriend or into the freezer.

Excited to start my second round. This challenge has made me consider my choices and held me accountable. I’m determined to create a healthy lifestyle that works for life. That is going to include good days, bad days and plenty of fluctuations on the scale.
But, it’s the BIG picture I am hoping to paint, with daily, successful, broad strokes.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 198 ( my 130th). Thanks again @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round again is to lose. We go on holiday in a week's time, so from 12th onwards it is doubtful I will be able to weigh (not lugging the scales on the 'plane!!), but I still intend logging as best I can and keeping up with the posts. 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.

End od round 197 – 138.2 (0.2 up)
9/3 138.2 – hoping this is sodium from last night's grilled gammon, with hindsight not the best choice for the penultimate meal, but saw a tin of pineapple in juice in the cupboard and really fancied gammon & pineapple !! Which makes me 0.2 pound up this round, could have been worse, but could have been better. 9.86 miles walked and all but 1 exercise calorie eaten back !!

8/29: 169.8 i'm super excited over this. i'm expecting it to go up again, because sat & sun were heavy carb. days.... but at least it looks like i can self monitor to not gain weight when the tools are not available.
8/30: 173.8 not exactly sure how deceitful that weight is. i have a dentist cleaning today, and am weighing in wearing my heavy bathrobe. i am expecting some weight gain from my heavy carb days also. oh well, i'll get it all figured out another day when i don't have morning appts.
8/31: 174.4 well now, all i can do is shake my head. i went shopping this morning, and gathered up some fruit and veggies. have already made myself a nice little kielbasa/green bean/ mushroom/potato/onion hash and portioned it out into 275 cal. portions. this weigh in is happening in the afternoon, so again.... not sure how deceitful the weight is. i know it's not far off (my short trip away, my friend made me cornbread.... i love cornbread) cornbread came home with me, i'm kinda in a hurry to get rid of it, so of course i'm eating it. can't waste a good cornbread. i did go for a walk this morning, so that's a plus.
9/1: 174.4 OK, now i know.... it's not a deceitful weight. it's my honest weight. it's looking like i most definitely CAN throw away good cornbread! calories were over by 130 yesterday, but that was prior to walking. getting back on track..... i really want to see the 160's!
9/2: 172.8
9/3: 171.2 i have no idea what's going on with me or my scale!
ROUND 198
SW: 170.4
Day/Weight/Comment
9/4: 170.4 this is the weight i have to report on today. i wish it was higher (dang scale) so when i report next sunday it would look like a loss. there's a neighborhood cookout today. gonna try to stay away from the carbs. and the mixed drinks... good gosh, when i get together with these people they'll always hand me something and say "one little (insert food/drink here) isn't going to hurt ya." i can overcome "one little", but they don't seem to understand there's 30 of them! that's too many "one little's"!
9/5: 169.8 did not log meals yesterday because of the cookout. 99% of the food was especially bad for someone dieting. there was a charcuterie board that had a little corner of strawberries, everything else high fat/high carbs/high calories. my little dip in weight is probably from mega stress i've been trying to deal with which slammed my emotions hard yesterday. this morning the coping skills back in check. i haven't been able to go for walks for some time now. Dr. tells me it's sciatica, but i've had constant pain for over a year now. the pain flares up to a point that i just don't want to move at all. taking anti inflammatory and muscle relaxers is not helping, and my follow-up is not until the 29th. i may end up trying to see him again sooner.

I write so my lifestyle is pretty much a "Couch Potato", Although, I do have an exercise room and use the treadmill when the clothes are not hanging off the handlebar. Basically, I need motivation. I am not a fan of sugary food but I do crave salty foods. I like a glass (or two) of wine for dinner but have added ice to a 5oz glass and noticed I am drinking less. I mainly eat at home as my hubby is a great cook and I have never liked fast food. Thanks for this motivation !!!
09/04-AM 130.6 (took clothes off treadmill-started drinking 8 glasses of water) PM walked on the treadmill watching a 1.5-hour movie and finished 8th glass of water. Company for dinner-too much food (kept at 5% glass of wine)

/nice bike ride/ That is the good news. The bad news is that I tweaked my back lifting DW’s E-bike up on the car bike rack. Trying to be careful.
Pardon if the following is TMI. This is not required, but we do share some medical info here from time to time. On the 7th I have a routine colonoscopy which will probably affect my scale readings for a day or two. On the 12th I have a Prostate biopsy.
On the brighter side, we went to see Top Gun Maverick with friends on $3 Saturday. That was a thrill a minute. Every bit as good as the first one decades ago.

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.7 -
I have done this challenge before and it really helped keep me on track to healthy living. I have since gained most of that weight back (and then some) but I'm not discouraged. I am a 21-year old varsity college athlete who is just looking to lean up a bit - taking small goals at a time as weight-loss isn't my goal - just trying to lean myself into a healthier lifestyle.Round 146: -5.1lbs

9/4: 186.0 - a pleasant surprise. Did not count calories yesterday as I had a game and usually nutrition-wise I am usually a little more lenient as I tend to consume a lot in preparation for a high-intensity match with large cal burns. Last night was also a night of drinking which may turn out to be my vice when it comes to healthy living. A lot less motivated today to do anything such as meal prep on my day off.
9/5: 188.0 - yikes. hoping this is just a fluke. Off from exercise all week due to an injury so the deficit is especially important.

09/03 …..199.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
09/04 -197.8- (Trend weight 199.4) The wedding was beautiful in the little rural church on a warm beautiful day. I was very careful with my calories but I did eat the cake. I didn’t eat all the super-sweet frosting and I didn’t lick my plate so there’s that lol! I’ll post pictures later when they show up in google photos. Good luck everyone this round. It’s the last (partial) month of summer. Let’s make it count!
09/05 -197.0- (Trend weight 199.2) A good day yesterday except movement was very low level. I was just so exhausted after the wedding. I needed a day of nothingness. Most of the time I keep my home a “safe zone” with the right foods. It’s portion control I have to watch out for. I have been known to binge on “diet food”. The wrong foods are the ones at the restaurants. I don’t do much of that in my city, just when I travel and then, Oh boy, the choices!!!!! I am proud to say I kept it under control (for the most part) at the wedding. That is tough for me to do. I love food that I didn’t have to cook. And I love new recipes.
