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)

10/15 120.0 And this is what happens when I DON’T eat wheat! Two days of mostly carnivore eating after ONE SUPER HIGH CARB meal on Wednesday!
10/16 120.5 Joining my ladies at my daughter’s to “make” soap. It’s melt and pour so should be fairly easy. I bought lemon and vanilla oils and I’m going to cut some rosemary to add and to share. BONUS - visit with DGGS!
10/17 121.0 Plans yesterday postponed due to DD having stomach problems.😢😢Great Greek for early lunch before learning that we cancelled. Going to try to get school library straightened out today and tomorrow. The library assistant doesn’t speak English and is clueless about how to shelve books! DD said the library is a mess.
10/18 121.0 Late dinner at BBQ place with family. Worked 3 hours at DD’s school library, mostly standing. Going back today after mani. Manis are something I have decided I “deserve” after all the years of taking care of family and friends for over 50 years.
10/19 120.5. Got the school library fairly shipshape until the aide starts putting things away. Got my mani. Nails are a little shorter than I wanted but they’ll grow. I love the color I picked and if I had gone to the pool AT ALL this summer (=tan), they would be very striking. Meet the candidates Night in our community. DH is running for HOA board with the hope of bringing SOME fiscal responsibility. Consequently we are making goodies. He’s making chocolate chip cookies and I will make my “famous” brownies. From scratch is so much better than a mix and these are so easy.
10/20 121.5 Too many “goodies” but I didn’t eat anything anyone else brought. The majority of the people attending last night supported the 3 new candidates and the 2 current board members running for reelection (current president and a yes woman) did not get the applause on their responses. I could go on and on but will spare you. I’m eager for blind neighbor to return and being able to fast a bit longer.
10/21 121.5 Beautiful evening yesterday. Sat outside with neighbors for a few hours.
10/22 123.0 Not surprised- I have been craving salt the last couple of days and drinking LOTS of water - had over 100 oz yesterday plus coffee and XL Coke Zero.
10/23 122.5 I’m happy with this. Went to Great Greek yesterday instead of today. I’m making tacos later.

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take
time, effort, and most of all, patience!

@cpanus Nice loss!

@SheilaBoneham I can't imagine the pain you feel about Rory. I had a Border Collie, so I know something about the neurosis these herding dogs can have. You did EVERYTHING you could to save him, and I am sure you made the right decision before something tragic could happen. Warm hugs.

I may have done some emotional eating of ice cream last night. But I will get back on the wagon today. 😊

10/14 210.4 We were out driving around the state doing the All Missouri Shop Hop and ended up at a diner for dinner. Fun day with the family. I'll take the little blip up and hope that's all.

10/18 210.4 creeping slowly downward. I’m okay with that, hopefully it continues. Today will be challenging since it is my special needs daughter’s birthday. Already started the day with doughnuts, made a cake and will go to Olive Garden tonight for dinner. All of her favorites and I’m afraid they’re also mine.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 -225.2 lbs. No change is better than going up. I think I will add the rowing machine to my exercise routine.
10/15 -223.8 lbs.
10/16 – 225 lbs.
10/17 – 225.2 lbs. Quiet weekend with lots of temptation.
10/18 – 225.6 lbs. I am all over the map, it seems, but I’ll get the hang of it yet!
10/19 -224.6 lbs.
10/20 -223.2 lbs. I forgot to post yesterday, busy day. I am not sure I believe these numbers, but I have added rowing to my routine this week. Time will tell.
10/21 – 223.6 lbs. I think if I just keep my eating right and slowly building my exercise it will show in the numbers.
10/22 – 222.8 lbs.
10/23 – 223.4 lbs.

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. My weight has been dropping for 5 months now. 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.

Heaviest ever 1st Jan 2021, goal+31.8 kg

How this round went: I've been doing well on the elliptical, 50 minutes a day. Still having sugar unfortunately. Eating hasn't been great. You'll notice that the bolds in the table are mostly two columns, that's the lump of fat attached to my chest getting smaller.
