12/27: 149 (+3.8) - @SheilaBoneham I'm with you in that I almost didn't weigh this morning. Hard to lose and easy to gain (ugh!). I'm home now and getting back on track with food and exercise. I didn't get in any type of exercise over the holiday weekend other than walking my son's dog. I Pelotoned it last night for 45 minutes after our long drive home but it did not make up for the extra calorie intake over the past few days. I had some small victories but my resolve weakened as the days passed and I didn't hold back in the end on the homemade cookies and candy. Oh, well. Today's a new day!

@Machias1949 Happy anniversary, New Year's, etc.! Wishing you safe and happy travels.
@deepwoodslady Great job practicing discipline over the holiday festivities. I'm a little frustrated with myself because, although I started out well, I didn't in the end.
@CamandJarvis I'm sorry you had to work and one a hard task over the holiday. I've been there and done that. I hope you get to spend some quality time with family and yourself!5 -
Photos of the kitten. We witnessed improvement and growth over the few days we were with her. She's very vocal and gets hangry. It's a lot of work and my son and his girlfriend are doing a great job helping this little one thrive. She only recently opened her eyes. In the first photo she has a bit of a milk mustache.
@quiltingjaine Thanks for sharing your photo. It's hilarious that the huge dog was afraid of the kitten. Right now, my son's Husky wants to eat the little kitten. For one thing, the kitten sounds just like one of his squeaky toys. We kept our 4-year old cat, Sport, and the dog separated. Our cat hung out in our bedroom, on the bed for the most part. She figured out how to open the door and would venture out into the rest of the condo while the dog was still in bed.7 -

I’m late starting this challenge. My last holiday guests just got on the plane. It’s been a chaotic holiday season. Looking for a re-set. I’ve been unhappy with where I”m at for quite some time, so back to MFP. I badly need to de-sugar, de-junk, and get back on plan. More veggies, more protein, more exercise, less empty calories.

12/27 - Starting Day - 187.4,
12/28 - 187.8 - I think my weight is still going up after an intense holiday filled with sugar. Hopefully this is the high point and it can start coming down. Yesterday was a pretty good day with healthy and light choices all day. I tracked all my food, and stayed under my calorie limit.
Goal for today: Another healthy day with 30 min of exercise, and consistent tracking as well.

12/24 / 177.6 / It's been very busy at the house. Work is wrapped up but I am still dealing with on call emergencies. Today my dad leaves to start his journey back home. There is lots going on at the house today.

12/27 / 179 / Back to tracking every morsel. I definitely learned some things about myself this last month. I have a month until I go away for a three week vacation so I really need to get my mind right. Hope you all enjoyed the holiday season!
12/28 / 179.6 / Everything was on track last night but I finished it with a mini snack binge. I did get out for a walk despite feeling unwell.

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.
We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

12/23 125.5 Not sure how I missed posting yesterday and instead of notifying me that I hadn’t logged in when I actually had, MFP DIDN’T notify when I hadn’t!
12/24 125.5 Great Greek for OMAD yesterday because they are closed today and tomorrow. Local DD with whom we have annual plans is sick again so plans may be cancelled. Family tradition of pizza for Christmas Eve dinner since 1977 or 1978.
12/25 124.5 MERRY CHRISTMAS! We didn’t get pizza. We ate GG leftovers. Now DH seems to have a bug!
12/26 127.0 We had so looked forward to spending some time with DGGS (6 months) on his first Christmas but sickness at his house and at ours prevented that. Our Dear Neighbor brought us Christmas dinner because Carl is sick. Hidden salt? Sugar? Lots of carbs! Now my throat feels funny.
12/27 126.5 Can’t say I’m happy about this but looking at the graph,
my weight appears to have been creeping up since soon after my husband’s first surgery in September. January 11 is his next follow up and he should be allowed to drive again. Thank goodness!
12/28 126.5 DH has been sick since 12/23 and couldn’t swallow yesterday because his throat was so sore. Trip to Urgent Care - Not flu, not COVID, not strep. Extremely swollen lymph nodes. Steroid and antibiotic.Hope he feels better today, I’m not feeling great myself. Picked up Chinese on the way home. General Tso’s chicken for me (so much sugar!) and cashew shrimp for him. He couldn’t eat it so it’s in the refrigerator. I hope he can swallow today.10 -

12/28 - 219.6 - I feel like I should have been down a lot more then 0.4lbs but that's the black hole I always fall in; thinking that I'm not losing as fast as I should. When realistically, it's still a loss. I guess I just feel that after restricting myself for a whole day, I should get a bigger reward 😅

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 DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Oh, well, it's better than giving up altogether. On a lighter note, I am thoroughly enjoying my PTO. I have the whole week off. Yay! I really needed it. I wish I could take the whole month of January, yeah, and February ... and March.... and ... It's not that I don't love my job, I would just love a break.

For anyone struggling with staying under calories but not losing, I want to share my story. For years and years, when I'm tracking, I've been eating low calorie breakfasts and lunches and saving most of my calories for dinner. And those breakfasts sometimes have been high in sugar (e.g. Toaster Strudel). I've been reading about nutrition and blood sugar levels and how our bodies need protein and fiber spread out during the day (not just at night), especially as we get older, to help us prevent muscle loss (with exercise/weights), plus more benefits. I have changed up my diet so that I'm getting in at least 25g protein and 5g fiber at every meal with a 7g/2g protein/fiber snack during the day and evened out my calories across meals (as much as possible). I feel better, I'm not getting that 2 p.m. tiredness, and my blood sugar levels have gone back down to the normal range (I've been teetering a little above normal range for a couple years). I go over my calorie limit sometimes but I still see good results when I do this. I'm not as hungry and for the most part I don't feel like I'm sacrificing. I changed MFP so that I can see the amount of protein and fiber intake. This is working for me when I stick to it. I just go off track sometimes. Old habits are hard to break.
Here are a couple resources for anyone interested.- The Whole Body Reset book - Not a diet, has lots of recipes and examples, and cites the research behind why you should make sure you get the necessary protein/fiber during the day.
- https://drbeckyfitness.com/ - She has several helpful videos that explains how the body processes food, etc. I think she pushes the Keto diet and wants you to sign up for something. I'm not signing up and not doing Keto but I found several of her videos helpful.
