11/21 - DNW - Sorry I've been MIA. I did get a small bit of the icky tummy Thursday night. No fever, though, and only lasted a few hours of nausea and cramps. Friday was madness with grocery shopping for Thanksgiving (you'd think it was the day before, not a week before!). Especially since it was midday Friday when I figured a lot of people would be at work. Then a concert that evening. Then Saturday was out of town followed by Wild Game Dinner. Sunday was helping Fam with house reno (trying to start moving in by mid-Dec). I've been sleeping awful lately, too, so not only am I more hungry, but I'm crankier, sleepier, and just not in a healthy mindset. Hence the no weigh ins. I'm acknowledging it, but that's about the max capacity for health-related focus I have. The weather isn't helping. This morning was 34 degrees and rainy. I moved to Texas to get away from the cold dreariness! Hopefully once the madness of Thanksgiving is over, I won't feel so overwhelmed and unfocused.

Previous Day's Comments11/13 - DNP
11/14 - I've been having a horrible time this weekend with sleep. I've been waking up for hours on end right smack dab in the middle of the night. Then, when I can finally fall asleep, I either have an alarm (Friday) or I've had horrible heartburn. This morning I was up at 1:20am and never fell back asleep. No workout, no weigh in. At this point, I'm just trying to do the bare minimum and not get fired. I hope tonight is better for sleep and I can get back on track in every part of my life. Will say BF is having major tummy issues as well and is feeling a bit better today (fever dropped to low-grade at the very least) so think the end is coming. I've avoided the worst of it (fever, puking, etc) thankfully.
11/15 - I won't complain with that weigh in considering we had frozen pizza for dinner. I do feel better today. I slept through the night (not really, but slept in my normal sleep disordered way). I got in a 15 minute rowing and a 15 minute yoga for low back (this weather is really kicking my fusion's behind...teehee 'cause it's right above my behind ). Not sure dinner, but it's "Taco" Tuesday. I did mention to BF the other day about quesadillas so I might have to see if I have any more frozen bell peppers to thaw add in mine if we do that. It will depend I suppose. BigBro has the icky tummy. He threw up at the end of school yesterday and was really hot (feverish) by the time he got home. He's staying home today. I might need to run to the store and get a thermometer for the house before cold/flu season really kicks in. I have to get fasting bloodwork done one morning before Friday so I'll get one. Unfortunately work decided to kick my behind late yesterday afternoon. Not hard tasks, but tedious and time consuming for sure. And just opened email to find even more of the tedious time consuming tasks. All need to be done by end of week which, for me, is Thursday. No idea how I'll finish, honestly. Best get to it, I suppose! It's 2 minutes until starting time anyway...

Good day yesterday, although I did have popcorn in the evening. Soup day today—now to decide what to try to fend off the cold of the season’s first snow.
11/14 - 177.6
Another snackfest late last night. What’s wrong with me? I know when I’m snarfing that I’m just sabotaging myself. Really need to get a grip.
11/15 - 178.2
11/16 - 177.6
Ok, that’s a little better.
11/17 - 177.4
Better, not perfect, snack resistance last night. Working on it!
11/18 - 177.4
Doesn’t look like I’ll make my weight goal for this round. I should know better than to set weight goals anyway. Behavioral goals are attainable and controllable. I can’t control the results, just the effort. If I end this round, and the year, a bit lower, all the better. So I’m working on the effort.
11/19 - 177.4
Holding for take off!
11/20 - 179.2
What??? I did have more starchy food than usual, but really? Obviously water, not fat. Oh, well. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow….

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.

Have a short business trip coming up this round but hoping to be able to shave off another pound. Increasing strength training now to get strong and build more muscle.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/13 - 124.2
11/14 - 124.6 - typical weekend gain. I’m sure a lot of this is water though I did overindulge a bit. Restaurant meals for the next 3 days aren’t going to help but I do find it very easy to avoid snacking when traveling. Silver lining I guess!
11/15 - DNW (travel)
11/16 - DNW (travel)
11/17 - 127 sheesh!! I wasn’t on plan while I was gone but I don’t think I was this far off. Definitely some water in there from eating every meal in restaurants for 3 days. Today will be a good day!!
11/18 - 125.8. Did strength training and a decent Peloton ride yesterday, but I think lifting weights is making me ridiculously hungry! I only had about 300 calories left going into dinner and ate a lot more than that. I got some protein powder last night to try to up my protein intake in the form of smoothies. I'm hoping that it helps stave off my cravings.

11/20 - 126.6
11/21 - 125.8 Ugh, no way I'm making my goal this round! I feel like I've mentally slipped into lazy mode, but I really need to keep cranking! I've been exercising but tracking has really fallen off. I tracked my morning's intake after I carelessly indulged in donuts with the kids, and well over half of my calories have been consumed! Sheesh, I need my brain to get back on board with me.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/13: 135.6 - Ugh - two days of not working out and several big social events are adding up.
11/14: 135.6 - Got my workouts in, but still eating leftovers which isn’t helping.
11/15: 133.2 - Focused on limiting my sweet intakes and not eating back all of my exercise calories.
11/16: 132.3 - Got my workouts in, ate within calories and am getting a decent amount of sleep.
11/17: 132.3 - Surprised that the weight held. Had a mini-binge when I got home last night.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/13 / 168.2 / Started my day off with coffee and a walk with a friend. I've been craving a specific fast food burger so I stopped for one on the way home. Need to be careful about the rest of my day to stay within calories.
11/14 / 169.6 / Had ribs yesterday and then got the Sunday blues and ditched my exercise plans for early bedtime. Still trying to get my mind sorted. Made up for it today by completing my workouts and eating under my goal.
11/15 / 169.4 / Didn't sleep super well last night and had exercised hard last night so I focused on meeting my step goal today. Food was good and it was an alcohol free day as well. Hopefully tomorrow night I'll have energy to get back on the bike.
11/16 / 169.4
11/17 / 169.6
11/18 / 171.2
11/19 / 170.4
11/20 / 172.4 / Birthday celebrations for my Mom, binges, and general lack of control on my eating got me here. On the positive side, my workouts have been good the past couple of days. Tracking again today and looking forward. My maintenance range feels so close yet so far.
11/21 / 174 / Ate a ton of pizza last night, and here's where I am. Today was much better. I rode the Peloton for 60 minutes, walked, and ate on plan.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 205 (my 137th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.
Goal for this round is to lose a pound. 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. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/13 137.2 – woops, pigged out yesterday, but logged everything, used a load of weekly points and all exercise points too, but today is a new day. 15.22 miles walked.
11/14 135.6 – 6.06 miles walked, definitely worth getting straight back on track as the scales show this morning.
11/15 135.6 – 11.44 miles walked.
11/16 135.6 – a very raining day , just managed to walk 4.37 miles in a small dry window.
11/17 137.2 - 9.93 walked. But didn't do well yesterday; chocolate binge
11/18 137.9 – wet all day, no structured waking, got soaked twice together with DGSs on school runs, still some bad food decisions. 4 days to turn this around.
11/19 137.2 - 6.29 miles walked yesterday & back on track with food, 3 days to get back to where I started this round!
11/20 135.8 – so good to see that 5 again!! Now to keep it or even drop to a 4. 12.75 miles walked yesterday, food all good.
11/21 135.4 – 6.47 miles walked yesterday & ate within plan.
11/22 135.6 – 9.43 miles walked. 0.2 pound lost this round, managed to turn around the mid round & early binges. Must try to be more consistent next round, but a loss is a loss and I'm grateful for this.
I'M WORTH IT !!

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.

I got care free in maintenance and the scale went up one lb at a time. Now I’m turning it around one lb at a time.
2016- 245lbs
2019- 142lbs
9/12/22- 185lbs
11/13- 183.2
11/14- 181.6
11/15- 180.2
11/16- 180.4
11/17- 179.6
11/18- 179.2
11/19- 179.4
11/20- 178.8
11/21- 183.0
11/22- 182.6 and the slow creep down begins (again) Not mad at myself or the scale. My calories are good and my workouts are fantastic.6 -
Hi everyone! I skipped the last round due to health reasons but I missed everyone! 🥹I’m not sure what my 10 day goal is, likely maintenance but I feel the camaraderie is something I need to keep my spirits up in my life right now.

11/14: 202.5
I’m not sure where this drop came from, I didn’t eat great yesterday and there wasn’t much movement.
11/15: 202.5
Another day of poor nutrition and not much movement. I seem to be in a funk.
Is it getting cold and dark where everyone else is?
11/16: 201
😬 Getting so close Onederland-dare I type it or think it? The scale might hear me!
11/17: 201.7
Ate my emotions yesterday
11/18: 202.5
Swollen up from a procedure. I’m working for about four hours today then I’m doing something for me. I don’t know what it is yet but it’s gonna be about me!
11/19: 201
In a funk today, lots to do.
11/20: 204.7 (!)
Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Holding on to some stress here.
11/21: 202.5
My weight is like a ping pong ball.
11/22: 201.7
Well that’s a 2.1 pound loss but I kind of feel like it’s not a real loss as my weight didn’t steadily decrease as it has in the past. However, my trending weight app says there is a loss.
On to the next 10 days 💪🏼🔥7 -

11/16 147.4
11/17 147.2
11/18 147.0 Back where I started.
11/19 147.0
11/20 147.2 Well this round is probably a bust for me, and I'm sure next week will be rough too. I've had a lot going on this week so I'm having a hard time staying focused on myself. Participating in this challenge does help keep me accountable though, hoping the next one goes better
11/21 147.0
11/22 147.0 Just hanging in there. Hoping I can hold it through the next round4 -

SW: 147.4
Day/Weight/Comment
11/13: 147.8 - I've been away but I'm back. Yesterday was an eat-drink-whatever-I-want day. I gained weight even though I completed a 45-mile road bike ride. I'm going to try and stick to tracking my food again and I'm trying to follow the advice from "The Whole Body Reset,' by Stephen Perrine. We'll see how it goes.
11/14: 148 - Weekends are hard for me
11/15: 147.2 - Had a better Monday - yoga workout, stuck to eating plan; replaced alcohol with a virgin Cape Cod (club soda and cranberry)
11/16: 146 - I'm on a roll. Stuck close to plan yesterday, had a good spin workout and another virgin Cape Cod with dinner in place of alcohol. Can I do this one more day? I can. I will!
11/17: 145.8 - Yesterday was a higher calorie day with a workout. I was happy with the small loss. It's so hard not to do late-night snacking.
11/18: 147.2 - Had wine with dinner last night and that would have been okay but I also got into the late night snacking. This is my life story. I eat healthy for a few days then I don't for a few days. I make progress, and then I lose it I'm committing to skipping the late night snacking for the rest of the 10 days. I can. I will!
11/19: 146 - I went off-plan yesterday but still had a couple of wins - worked out and skipped the late night snacking. I stayed busy until bedtime.
11/20: 148.8 - Botanical garden Xmas light walk last night, nice dinner, and then stopped by a local music venue. Had drinks and late-night snacks. Weekends are hard, but they don't have to be. I'm going to work on avoiding those triggers.
11/21: 147.2 - Yesterday was more successful. I danced around my triggers and the late-night snacking. Today, I plan to include a workout.
11/22: 146.2 - These past 10 days were a struggle, but I'm happy with the 1.2 lb. loss. Now if I can just keep the downward trend going over Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'll see you all in the next round.

11/13: out of town visiting DD.
11/14: 217.2
/Nothing yesterday/ Hello everyone. Back at it after a nice weekend with DD. Met her boyfriend for the first time. Very nice. Food a bit of a problem because my DD’s job is baking (Italian recipe) cookies and pastries at an Italian café. She is good at her job.
My only exercise for the cold weather weekend was axe throwing. First time for me.
11/15: 216.6
11/16: 217.8
/walked out to tree stand to inspect/ Getting ready for deer hunting season. Ate a couple very unnecessary things yesterday.

/All the functional exercise it takes to climb 20’ up and down a tree-ladder with 40 pounds of gear, field dress a deer and help hoist it into my truck bed while freezing to death./ Lean meat in the feezer. I need a nap today.
11/20: 217.4
/Some yard work/
11/21: 217.4
/not much/ Highlight of yesterday was attending a performance of Handle’s Messiah. Wife has been singing in it for years. (icing on the cake was that it was performed in a building I designed)
11/12: 215.8
Starting weight at end of last round.
11/22: 216.6
/cold outside, maybe some spinning this evening/ So, just a bit too much feasting this past round, and not enough exercise.
Countdown to Thanksgiving. I am grateful for so many things!

Have a short business trip coming up this round but hoping to be able to shave off another pound. Increasing strength training now to get strong and build more muscle.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/13 - 124.2
11/14 - 124.6 - typical weekend gain. I’m sure a lot of this is water though I did overindulge a bit. Restaurant meals for the next 3 days aren’t going to help but I do find it very easy to avoid snacking when traveling. Silver lining I guess!
11/15 - DNW (travel)
11/16 - DNW (travel)
11/17 - 127 sheesh!! I wasn’t on plan while I was gone but I don’t think I was this far off. Definitely some water in there from eating every meal in restaurants for 3 days. Today will be a good day!!
11/18 - 125.8. Did strength training and a decent Peloton ride yesterday, but I think lifting weights is making me ridiculously hungry! I only had about 300 calories left going into dinner and ate a lot more than that. I got some protein powder last night to try to up my protein intake in the form of smoothies. I'm hoping that it helps stave off my cravings.
11/19 - 124.2
11/20 - 126.6
11/21 - 125.8 Ugh, no way I'm making my goal this round! I feel like I've mentally slipped into lazy mode, but I really need to keep cranking! I've been exercising but tracking has really fallen off. I tracked my morning's intake after I carelessly indulged in donuts with the kids, and well over half of my calories have been consumed! Sheesh, I need my brain to get back on board with me.
11/22 - 124.8. 2.4 lbs gained this round. I'm not proud of myself for that. I know what I need to do; I just seem to lack self-discipline these days. Not a great mindset heading into the holidays!6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
11/13 - 176.6
Good day yesterday, although I did have popcorn in the evening. Soup day today—now to decide what to try to fend off the cold of the season’s first snow.
11/14 - 177.6
Another snackfest late last night. What’s wrong with me? I know when I’m snarfing that I’m just sabotaging myself. Really need to get a grip.
11/15 - 178.2
11/16 - 177.6
Ok, that’s a little better.
11/17 - 177.4
Better, not perfect, snack resistance last night. Working on it!
11/18 - 177.4
Doesn’t look like I’ll make my weight goal for this round. I should know better than to set weight goals anyway. Behavioral goals are attainable and controllable. I can’t control the results, just the effort. If I end this round, and the year, a bit lower, all the better. So I’m working on the effort.
11/19 - 177.4
Holding for take off!
11/20 - 179.2
What??? I did have more starchy food than usual, but really? Obviously water, not fat. Oh, well. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow….
11/21 - 177.6
Ok, maybe my scale was having a fit yesterday! This isn’t where I’d hoped to be by now, but better than yesterday! We’re having a few warm(ish) days so I’m hoping to get some long walks in. I used to run the 5K Turkey Trot every year when we were in NC, but have lapsed the past 5 years. I need to get back at it. My exercise has really dropped off since Rory died. ☹️

I needed to look back because I was feeling defeated today even though the scale went down a pound. I can see that I am making progress even though it is slow. I need to lose more than 2 pounds in a month but at least it is in the right direction! One more day to try to get below my starting weight for this round. Tomorrow will be a bloat weight so I don’t think I will make it.
11/22 -198.6- (Trend weight 198.7) I am ending this challenge on a bloat day w/o medication yesterday so I’m actually very pleased that my overnight weight stayed the same. That may signal progress. The Good Lord knows I’ve been working hard trying to pull this kitchen back together before Thanksgiving. So many boxes to unpack! So many stored dishes and cookware to rewash! Etc. etc. Lots of movement and calorie burn. No problem getting steps in. Our holiday dinner will be on Saturday. Plenty of work until then! This is going to be a tough foody week for so many. Let’s just do the best we can and remain Thankful for all our blessings. I’m pleased to see the progress that so many accomplished this past 10 days. Thanks @quiltingjaine for the commitment to keeping us alive and inspired! Thanks also for reminding me that mindset matters! Feeling Positive!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

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!

11/13: 135.6 - Ugh - two days of not working out and several big social events are adding up.
11/14: 135.6 - Got my workouts in, but still eating leftovers which isn’t helping.
11/15: 133.2 - Focused on limiting my sweet intakes and not eating back all of my exercise calories.
11/16: 132.3 - Got my workouts in, ate within calories and am getting a decent amount of sleep.
11/17: 132.3 - Surprised that the weight held. Had a mini-binge when I got home last night.
11/18: 132.5 - Workout and walk, good eating and good sleep. I’m starting to consistently get about 7 hours of sleep which is pretty good for me.
11/19: 132.7 - Slowly creeping up again. Only one workout in yesterday and ate back all my exercise calories. So-so sleep.
11/20: 132.3 - Ate pretty well until after dinner. Need to get the sweet habit under control.
11/21: 133.6 - Friendsgiving potluck, but did get my workouts in.

11/22 - DNW - I failed myself. I didn't realize I had turned off my alarm for 6am and only had my 6:45. I hit snooze only to realize I was supposed to be on the computer in a few minutes. Not only did I not work out, but I did not weigh like I had hoped simply to end the round with a number. I'll try to start next round with a weigh in or two. Unsure how Thursday-Sunday will look as far as checking in and posting. At this point, I'm only focusing on keeping my insanity in check and bottled up. Thanksgiving is at our house and I'm not much of a host (perfectionism kicks in) and my anxiety is through the roof and then some. FamWife, her mom, and MIL are bringing sides/dessert, I'm baking bread tomorrow (which will help) and my mom's locally famous baked beans Thursday morning (both will help me calm and due to both needing the oven, they're being divided), BF is smoking a ham and FamHubby is coming over a little early to deep fry the turkey here (rather than try to transport). It's all "family" but I HATE feeling like I'm underprepared and everything isn't absolutely perfect. My house does NOT feel perfect so no matter how food goes, I'll still be battling that even though it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. Ugh. I wish renovating didn't cost so dang much! I want my kitchen dooooone (it's perfect working condition, I just don't like it and it feels so outdated).
Previous Day's Comments11/13 - DNP
11/14 - I've been having a horrible time this weekend with sleep. I've been waking up for hours on end right smack dab in the middle of the night. Then, when I can finally fall asleep, I either have an alarm (Friday) or I've had horrible heartburn. This morning I was up at 1:20am and never fell back asleep. No workout, no weigh in. At this point, I'm just trying to do the bare minimum and not get fired. I hope tonight is better for sleep and I can get back on track in every part of my life. Will say BF is having major tummy issues as well and is feeling a bit better today (fever dropped to low-grade at the very least) so think the end is coming. I've avoided the worst of it (fever, puking, etc) thankfully.
11/15 - I won't complain with that weigh in considering we had frozen pizza for dinner. I do feel better today. I slept through the night (not really, but slept in my normal sleep disordered way). I got in a 15 minute rowing and a 15 minute yoga for low back (this weather is really kicking my fusion's behind...teehee 'cause it's right above my behind ). Not sure dinner, but it's "Taco" Tuesday. I did mention to BF the other day about quesadillas so I might have to see if I have any more frozen bell peppers to thaw add in mine if we do that. It will depend I suppose. BigBro has the icky tummy. He threw up at the end of school yesterday and was really hot (feverish) by the time he got home. He's staying home today. I might need to run to the store and get a thermometer for the house before cold/flu season really kicks in. I have to get fasting bloodwork done one morning before Friday so I'll get one. Unfortunately work decided to kick my behind late yesterday afternoon. Not hard tasks, but tedious and time consuming for sure. And just opened email to find even more of the tedious time consuming tasks. All need to be done by end of week which, for me, is Thursday. No idea how I'll finish, honestly. Best get to it, I suppose! It's 2 minutes until starting time anyway...

11/21 - Sorry I've been MIA. I did get a small bit of the icky tummy Thursday night. No fever, though, and only lasted a few hours of nausea and cramps. Friday was madness with grocery shopping for Thanksgiving (you'd think it was the day before, not a week before!). Especially since it was midday Friday when I figured a lot of people would be at work. Then a concert that evening. Then Saturday was out of town followed by Wild Game Dinner. Sunday was helping Fam with house reno (trying to start moving in by mid-Dec). I've been sleeping awful lately, too, so not only am I more hungry, but I'm crankier, sleepier, and just not in a healthy mindset. Hence the no weigh ins. I'm acknowledging it, but that's about the max capacity for health-related focus I have. The weather isn't helping. This morning was 34 degrees and rainy. I moved to Texas to get away from the cold dreariness! Hopefully once the madness of Thanksgiving is over, I won't feel so overwhelmed and unfocused.

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.
