11/28 - 163.8 - I'm so close to my highest ever weight right now and I'm absolutely NOT okay with that. Granted, some of it is that lovely pre-TOM bloat.... I set up a plan yesterday to be more mindful and careful with my food choices and to try to get "movement snacks" during the days I don't get a workout done in the morning. NerdFitness introduced me to these "snacks". Don't have 30 minutes to get a workout in, but have a 5 minute break between meetings? Walk for 5 minutes. Need a bathroom break? Do some walking lunges to/from the bathroom. Waiting for coffee/tea to brew? Do some pushups or squats or hold a plank. It'll add up through the day to a full workout. I did do a 15 minute yoga gut health practice this morning despite arguing with myself for 20 minutes to get out of bed. I'll sneak in some movement "snacks" today to help get my body back into the groove of things, too. I feel like they won't be as intense or overwhelming on my body/mind as jumping right back into my rowing or full bodyweight workouts. I think today will be the last of the Thanksgiving leftovers, but I managed to portion them into a 500 calorie lunch. I also bought some cucumber, bell pepper, and spinach to make chicken wraps for lunch later this week. Also going to try to ease back into fasting. This is the time of year it benefits me most. Thanksgiving was good, but poor Godson got a fever and they left immediately after eating. Then I woke up with a pink-eye like thing going on (think it was allergies as it cleared up after allergy pill and allergy eye drops, only coming back after waking up. Today is the first day not waking up with a bright pink eye!) so I stayed home and cleaned the house up. Then Saturday FamHub came down with flu symptoms and both their kids have strep. Whew, sickness going around! No plans to leave the house in the next couple days so should be safe unless BigBro brings something home from school or work.

R206 SW: 124.8
R206 GW: 121.4 - I realize this is a huge stretch goal but I’m just keeping my same goal as the last round which would have only been a one-pound loss. Just suffered a round of self-sabotage and trying to get back on track!
Day/Weight/Comment
11/23 - 122.6, that’s a relief! I finally had a good day and must have flushed a lot of water and other (TMI) stuff out. I did not sleep well. I stayed up too late watching a Christmas movie (Falling for Christmas with Lindsay Lohan was so cute!) and woke up early to the sounds of mice in the wall. We just can’t seem to get rid of those buggers. My old cat is not a mouser and apparently her smell doesn’t work as a deterrent. The only thing we’ve ever had success with is a “humane” trap but it kind of feels the opposite of humane. However, they eat the bait right off of any snap traps we’ve tried.
11/24 - Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating! We are just going to my brother’s house for the afternoon. I made deviled eggs, Mac and cheese is in the crockpot, and I just need to put together my beet/pistachio salad. I ran a self-guided 5k with the dogs this morning and felt good! Hope everyone has a great day!

11/28 - 124.6 Whoops! Forgot to weigh in or check in the whole holiday. I tried to catch up on some reading here but have a lot to read. We did a second Thanksgiving at our own home with friends yesterday. The food was rich and I drank too much, which resulted in a lousy night's sleep. Only 3 work weeks left in the year for me so I have to really step on the gas, ugh. I think the alcohol plus TOM really amplified the Sunday Scaries for me--I literally did not sleep

This is a kitchen I'd LOVE to be in. I can definitely see why you changed it up and it looks amazing! I'm super jealous of your stove top/oven setup, that's exactly what BF and I want in our kitchen whenever we have the money to reno it.4 -
@deepwoodslady Donna, the kitchen looks spectacular! We had dark cabinets in Colorado-very 70’s- I got oak when we built in Illinois and this house has light colored wood (maybe oak?) Love yours and can’t wait to see it complete!3

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 over 5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/23 - 177.4
11/24 - 177.6
11/25 - dunno
I didn’t weigh in this morning. I thought I’d give the TG splurge a day to settle down.
11/26 - 178.4
Just as I suspected. But today is a new day, and I want to be down a bit by Christmas, so planning, planning…. My biggest challenge is to stop eating at night. I’m sure it’s emotional/comfort eating, but it’s ridiculous and I really need to find a way out of this self-destructive behavior. I think part of it is that we eat dinner early — my hubby has always been in the habit of dinner at 5 p”clock — so by 9 I have the munchies. I’ve been thinking for a while of sipping bouillon rather than snarfing popcorn or whatever, but I never discipline myself enough to actually do that. But I’m pretty disappointed in myself. I mean, really, -2 pounds in a year? I’m also not getting as much exercise since my pup died, but that will change in January when our new baby comes home. 😁 Anyway, DH has always done a lot of the cooking here, but his idea of a light dinner is, for instance, what he’s planning for tonight—fettucini alfredo. I think I’ll steam or roast a mix of veggies or make a bowl of cauliflower rice to replace the pasta and have a Tbsp of alfredo for flavor. That will keep peace but also lower my calories. Sorry to go on and on, but you’re a friendly audience, get it, and can skip if you don’t want a novel! Thanks for the platform!!!
11/27 - 177.8
Ok, I did better yesterday in spite of the fettucini alfredo. It’s soup day, so I’m going for lots of veggies and flavor.
11/28 - 177.8
Why does it go up so much faster than it goes down? 😁 But ok, as long as I’m headed the right direction again. I hope to be back <177 by the end of the round.

@deepwoodslady Wow! I love the kitchen makeover! So much more cheerful. I like the red and white, but blue will also be lovely and tranquil. Color has a powerful effect on mood, and I suspect you’ll feel lighter and happier in the brighter space. Well done!4

11/23: 133.2 - Been cooking up a storm since our Thanksgiving celebration got relocated to my house as our normal hosts (uncle and aunt) both have Covid. Now, where to seat 21 people? Luckily some of my cousins are stepping up and helping out with some of the dishes.
11/24: 133.2 -
11/25: 133.8 -
11/26: 133.6 - Haven’t been getting my workouts in the last couple of days and haven’t been tracking my food.
11/27: 133.8 - Worked out and leftovers
11/28: 133.2 - Mostly a normal day in terms of eating, working out and sleeping. Decorated the Christmas tree yesterday by myself since the kids said to go ahead (they both won’t arrive until right before Christmas). Husband had a meeting while I was decorating. I must say, I do enjoy the freedom to put the ornaments where I like. :-)

@SheilaBoneham I also still love the red. However, truth be told, I found a very special blue rug that I fell in love with and so now it will cost me big dollars to switch everything to blue but I can't wait. I've already purchased the two pot & pan sets and some bakeware which I am storing. I also have the silverware holder (yippee lol). Looking for dishes etc. Need stainless steel microwave, canisters, spoon rests, storage and mixing bowls, broom, garbage can, towels, valance and so much more! My son's favorite color is red so all of my red stuff will eventually go to him when I have a kitchenette built for him in his basement apartment. This house is 1970's on all 3 floors. It all needs updating as badly as this kitchen needed. Many more projects in the future as the $$$$ allow. Thanks for the compliments.3 -

It makes me feel very firmly planted in Onederland but I've got to turn that typing in blue back around to typing in pink. If you look at my spoiler you will see how I usually lose in the summer only to gain it all back in the winter. Not this year Citizens, not this year.
11/28 -196.6- (Trend weight 197.9)Thanks everyone for the nice comments on my kitchen. It has been a labor of love and I’m so close to finishing! I woke up today feeling yucky. I had some leftover pumpkin cheesecake yesterday and I ate dinner way too late (again), so my acid reflux is giving me grief! But I also woke up with this wonderful premonition of being in the 160’s (my goal is high 140’s), and having my weight teetering after a big Holiday dinner near 170 pounds and being worried that I was going to tip the scale upward in the new yucky decade. What a great feeling to worry that my scale might hit 170 after a feast and not 200! I can do this, that’s the message I was getting.

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

11/25 / 171 / Busy week at work. Have a lot to do this weekend. Some of it will involve food. Some of it will involve exercise. Working to get back in the 160's.
11/26 / 172.2 / Started the day with yoga with a friend. Lunch was larger but then I went for a walk with my dog. Also on my feet a lot getting some cleaning and Christmas prep done. Dinner at a friend's house tonight.
11/27 / 174 / I woke up and hopped on the Peloton right away. Love when days start that way. My husband and I are off to Banff for their Christmas Market. We have a special supper booked for afterwards.
11/28 / 173.4 / I had to go into the office today which is an usual start to my week. Work remains a zoo. I didn't go off the rails tonight though. Enjoying a nice night at home with my family.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 206 (my 138th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.
Same goal this round as last; to lose a pound. No binges, keep within limits.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.

What's wrong with carpet in the kitchen? As long as you have washable scotch guarded, it keeps our kitchen much warmer to stand and work in in the winter - there is no heating in there & the floor under the carpet is VERY cold tiles !!!3 -

Day/Weight/Comment
11/23 - 122.6, that’s a relief! I finally had a good day and must have flushed a lot of water and other (TMI) stuff out. I did not sleep well. I stayed up too late watching a Christmas movie (Falling for Christmas with Lindsay Lohan was so cute!) and woke up early to the sounds of mice in the wall. We just can’t seem to get rid of those buggers. My old cat is not a mouser and apparently her smell doesn’t work as a deterrent. The only thing we’ve ever had success with is a “humane” trap but it kind of feels the opposite of humane. However, they eat the bait right off of any snap traps we’ve tried.
11/24 - Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating! We are just going to my brother’s house for the afternoon. I made deviled eggs, Mac and cheese is in the crockpot, and I just need to put together my beet/pistachio salad. I ran a self-guided 5k with the dogs this morning and felt good! Hope everyone has a great day!

11/28 - 124.6 Whoops! Forgot to weigh in or check in the whole holiday. I tried to catch up on some reading here but have a lot to read. We did a second Thanksgiving at our own home with friends yesterday. The food was rich and I drank too much, which resulted in a lousy night's sleep. Only 3 work weeks left in the year for me so I have to really step on the gas, ugh. I think the alcohol plus TOM really amplified the Sunday Scaries for me--I literally did not sleep
11/29 - 124.8. Not going the right direction here. I'm really bad at tracking Thanksgiving and its leftovers so I am probably eating over my calories. DH is sick and I have a mild cough. The nature of my cough was reminding me of what I had during covid but my test was negative, phew. Having both kids home for two weeks would not help me accomplish anything at home or at work.

11/25 - dunno
I didn’t weigh in this morning. I thought I’d give the TG splurge a day to settle down.
11/26 - 178.4
Just as I suspected. But today is a new day, and I want to be down a bit by Christmas, so planning, planning…. My biggest challenge is to stop eating at night. I’m sure it’s emotional/comfort eating, but it’s ridiculous and I really need to find a way out of this self-destructive behavior. I think part of it is that we eat dinner early — my hubby has always been in the habit of dinner at 5 p”clock — so by 9 I have the munchies. I’ve been thinking for a while of sipping bouillon rather than snarfing popcorn or whatever, but I never discipline myself enough to actually do that. But I’m pretty disappointed in myself. I mean, really, -2 pounds in a year? I’m also not getting as much exercise since my pup died, but that will change in January when our new baby comes home. 😁 Anyway, DH has always done a lot of the cooking here, but his idea of a light dinner is, for instance, what he’s planning for tonight—fettucini alfredo. I think I’ll steam or roast a mix of veggies or make a bowl of cauliflower rice to replace the pasta and have a Tbsp of alfredo for flavor. That will keep peace but also lower my calories. Sorry to go on and on, but you’re a friendly audience, get it, and can skip if you don’t want a novel! Thanks for the platform!!!
11/27 - 177.8
Ok, I did better yesterday in spite of the fettucini alfredo. It’s soup day, so I’m going for lots of veggies and flavor.
11/28 - 177.8
Why does it go up so much faster than it goes down? 😁 But ok, as long as I’m headed the right direction again. I hope to be back <177 by the end of the round.
11/29 - 177.6
I had something of a snack attack last night, but overall feel a bit more in control. I know what triggered it last night and Sat. night…pasta. DH’s fettucini alfredo. I really need to eat something else when he wants pasta, because I know it makes me hungry later. Anyway…

11/29 - 163.2 - Whew, 1lb lower than highest weight is much better than only 0.4lb lower. Still battling TOM bloat (any day now...) Yesterday went well calorie and food wise. Even got some movement snacks in. All of the Thanksgiving leftovers are gone, too. Now I just need to resist the pizza leftovers (BigBro will eat pizza whenever so we keep it for him, but my taste buds like to think its for me as well). I have a cucumber, a couple bell peppers, couple sweet potatoes and a ton of baby spinach at my disposal for lunches. It's late enough in the morning I probably need to go put the sweet potatoes in the oven if I want them done for lunch.. No workout this morning, hoping to get even more movement snacks in today. I've been quite hungry all morning so I may break my fast a touch early and scramble some eggs, spinach and salsa. A snack portion rather than full meal and push my lunch out a little later. Thinking I'll make a loaded veggie, light chicken wrap with half a roasted sweet potato on the side today. Especially since I'm unsure dinner other than its Taco Tuesday so it'll be Mexican. EDIT: Fam have the flu. Officially. Now BF is feeling extra tired, heavy, and has a mild cough/congestion. He was around Fam Saturday before FamHub started feeling ill. Looks like the remainder of this week I will be on flu avoidance duty!

11/28 - I'm so close to my highest ever weight right now and I'm absolutely NOT okay with that. Granted, some of it is that lovely pre-TOM bloat.... I set up a plan yesterday to be more mindful and careful with my food choices and to try to get "movement snacks" during the days I don't get a workout done in the morning. NerdFitness introduced me to these "snacks". Don't have 30 minutes to get a workout in, but have a 5 minute break between meetings? Walk for 5 minutes. Need a bathroom break? Do some walking lunges to/from the bathroom. Waiting for coffee/tea to brew? Do some pushups or squats or hold a plank. It'll add up through the day to a full workout. I did do a 15 minute yoga gut health practice this morning despite arguing with myself for 20 minutes to get out of bed. I'll sneak in some movement "snacks" today to help get my body back into the groove of things, too. I feel like they won't be as intense or overwhelming on my body/mind as jumping right back into my rowing or full bodyweight workouts. I think today will be the last of the Thanksgiving leftovers, but I managed to portion them into a 500 calorie lunch. I also bought some cucumber, bell pepper, and spinach to make chicken wraps for lunch later this week. Also going to try to ease back into fasting. This is the time of year it benefits me most. Thanksgiving was good, but poor Godson got a fever and they left immediately after eating. Then I woke up with a pink-eye like thing going on (think it was allergies as it cleared up after allergy pill and allergy eye drops, only coming back after waking up. Today is the first day not waking up with a bright pink eye!) so I stayed home and cleaned the house up. Then Saturday FamHub came down with flu symptoms and both their kids have strep. Whew, sickness going around! No plans to leave the house in the next couple days so should be safe unless BigBro brings something home from school or work.

11/28 -196.6- (Trend weight 197.9)Thanks everyone for the nice comments on my kitchen. It has been a labor of love and I’m so close to finishing! I woke up today feeling yucky. I had some leftover pumpkin cheesecake yesterday and I ate dinner way too late (again), so my acid reflux is giving me grief! But I also woke up with this wonderful premonition of being in the 160’s (my goal is high 140’s), and having my weight teetering after a big Holiday dinner near 170 pounds and being worried that I was going to tip the scale upward in the new yucky decade. What a great feeling to worry that my scale might hit 170 after a feast and not 200! I can do this, that’s the message I was getting.
11/29 -198.4- (Trend weight 197.9) An expected bloat day. I was under calorie in diet and average in calorie burn/movement. Tomorrow is a travel day to cardiology. I hope to find out more about what the plan is for the Doppler tests I flunked on my legs. I imagine they will want me to see a vascular doctor but we shall see.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

@SheilaBoneham Same here. Pasta, rolls, etc bring on the hungries! I don’t know if it’s the gluten or wheat in general but once I manage to cut those OUT, I feel better and weight goes down.2
