    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.

    10/4 122.0 After my own “independent study” I have decided my BP meds are causing my vertigo. I stopped them for three days with little change in BP but vertigo was gone. I see the doctor a week from Friday and will discuss with him.
    10/5 121.5 Tried a new BBQ place yesterday. Burnt ends weren’t as “burnt” as I would have liked but they were good. I even liked the slaw! (Tasted DH’s) DH. Was impressed with the food. That’s something coming from southern Illinois boy!
    10/6 121.0
    10/7 120.0 Blood draw this morning. Too early! But I’m treating myself to a Starbucks after. LOL Maybe 2 after waiting at least 1/2 hour for the tech to arrive! Going to Age of Chivalry (Renaissance fair) later.
    10/8 121.0 What a wonderful day yesterday was! Lots of people lots of steps (over 9K) and lots of fresh air! But I ate most of a Philly cheese steak, leaving only 1 bite of the bun. 🤷‍♀️
    10/9 120.0
    10/10 120.5 Great Greek yesterday with family. Wish I could post the adorable pic of GGS in my antique children’s rocker! Hard to believe he’s 3 1/2 months old already!
    10/11 122.0 No TMI until after I weighed. DH has early dentist appointment so didn’t get to post this due to no internet at dentist’s office. We’re home, going to lunch with blind friend.
    10/12 121.5 Surprising since I ate half of the taco salad AND bowl. So much tastier when freshly made. Community bingo tonight. No idea what is for “dinner.”
    10/13 124.0. Not the way to end a round but totally expected after “dinner” - pizza, chips and cookies! No matter if it’s gluten or wheat in general, I knew it would happen and now have to deal with it. The best news - orthopedic surgeon released DH to drive! His backseat driving was making me CRAZY! Back to me taking care of me!

    Hi, I’m Kathy.
    58, F, 5’8”
    Back for my 22nd round and the accountability and companionship along the way!

    Return to MFP SW (Dec 2021): 267
    HSW: 265
    RSW: 213.8
    UGW for now: 195, then reevaluate

    Goal for this round: less than I started with
    2022 goals: move more (okay, move some), eat mindfully

    Day/Weight/Comment
    10/4 213.6 Happy new round! I got three free weeks of Hello Fresh so we’re having our first meal from them tonight. Even their low-calorie meals run higher than I usually have for dinner, so I’m having to plan around it. But meals are planned and logged.
    10/5 213.6 @ashleycarole86, you were right about the Hello Fresh meal – it was delicious! Beginning rehearsals tonight for our Christmas cantata at church. I used to sing but haven’t in a long time, so I’m looking forward to getting back into it. Meals are planned and logged.
    10/6 213.6 Nothing really new here. Lots of work to get done in the next two weeks before vacation, so just trying to stay on plan.
    10/7 213.8 Happy Friday! I’m headed to my 40th high school reunion this weekend, which should be interesting. Hoping to keep on plan or at least plan-adjacent as much as possible.
    10/8 DNW – out of town
    10/9 DNW – out of town
    10/10 213.8 I’m pretty happy that I maintained over this weekend! Had a great time and saw lots of people I haven’t seen in years. Now back on plan for two weeks until vacation. Meals for today are planned.
    10/11 213.2 I am so ready for vacation but still have so much to do before it’s here! This is the time when I try to use up food we already have rather than buy more so as to clean out the refrigerator, so I hope I can stay on plan pretty easily.
    10/12 212.8 Well, when it rains, it pours. My 98-yo MIL got home yesterday from rehab after breaking her hip but had not even been home for an hour when she fell again and dislocated the hip that had just been replaced. Still waiting to find out what the doctors recommend. @CamandJarvis, I hope you get to see your grandpa soon.
    10/13 211.2 This isn’t real. I’m not sure where it came from, but it’s not real. I’ll enjoy it all the same, though. See you all for the next round!

    64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 201 (my 133th). Thanks again @QuiltingJaine.

    2.6 pounds of holiday weight gain gone, 1.4 to go, that is my goal for this round. Resting heart rate down to 50, that's an improvement too as that is directly linked to my weight. No binges, keep within calories & macros.
    Spoiler
    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. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    10/4: 131.2 - The problem with ending with all-time low weight at the end of the last round…Had quite a large number of exercise calories, but probably should not have eaten them all back.
    10/5: 131.8 - Too many sweets…
    10/6: 130.1 - Unintentional strategy: didn’t get my workout in at all, so kept my calories low. Then at 9:30 last night, realized I still had time/energy for a workout. Literally the last thing I did before going to bed (that and a shower) so I didn’t eat back any of the exercise calories. I don’t think I would do it all the time, but the mindset of not eating back my workout calories is an interesting one.
    10/7: 128.5 - I have no explanation, other than perhaps yesterday’s unintended strategy is reflected in today’s number. Our flight leaves at 6 am tomorrow morning, so I’ll see if I remember to weigh.
    10/8: 130.7 - Did a 20 minute walk at the airport and didn’t eat pretty much the whole day until dinner and then the wine and snacks after dinner. I’m sure the last hour did me in.
    10/9: DNW - Traveling - Got my workout in this morning, but the time change has our eating patterns a bit messed up.
    10/10: DNW - Traveling - Good day today with exercise and eating. Amazing how your calories are controlled when you don’t snack!
    10/11: DNW - Traveling - Got my workout in before sitting in car for 6+ hours. Eating was lots of snacks.
    10/12: DNW - Traveling - Today was a 12-mile hike with about 2,000 feet elevation gain.
    10/13: DNW - Traveling - feels weird to end the round not really knowing where I am on the scale. Trying to balance being on vacation with others and maintaining.

    Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: + 0.2 pounds

    I am about 8 kg along the way to lose 32 kg. I use multiple tape measurements (cm) around my body because they aren't affected by salt intake. I got serious about losing weight for 5 months, then paused for 6 weeks, now I've started again. Apparently I've been trying to lose weight since September 2012, the last time I was at goal weight. Let's see if stopping eating sugary food is going to change things.

    How this round went: exercise was good, 50 minutes on the elliptical each day. Still having sugar unfortunately, my eating has been alright, nothing great though. I think the test is the next round.

    @_JeffreyD_ Check out Senza. It’s free and scans barcodes, allows you to enter recipes (a bit of a learning curve) and the tech people are very prompt with replies to problems. You don’t have to guess where to search for answers. It is geared toward lower carb eating but that could be a good thing. There are recipes and articles on your newsfeed. If you are a carb watcher, you can set for net or total carbs. I’ve been using it for several years now.

    @quiltingjaine thanks for the insight.

    10/7 Traveling

    10/9 210.2 😕
    10/10 209.8 Going back in the right direction.
    10/11 210.0 Pumpkin pie last night. 😕 Gotta watch those snacks.
    10/12 211.2. Not following my own advice, pumpkin pie and Mexican last night.

    THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
    REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.
    Spoiler
    • 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.
    Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!
