    01/09 -200.0- (Trend weight 199.4)

    01/10 -200.4- (Trend weight 199.5) I just realized that I will be ultra bloated for an extended period of time. Due to all my travel this week, I can only take my water pill one time in 8 days (normally every other day) and it will have to be Thur or Fri. I’ll be floating and will have to watch how hard my heart is working too! The scale is going to reflect this. I really won’t know much accuracy until it settles down. Travel days Mon, Tue, Wed, Sat, Sun, Mon.

    01/11 -198.6- (Trend weight 199.4)Whoosh thanks to TMI. Travel again today. I’m going to watch my P’s & Q’s. Great job this round to all who stuck through to the end and stayed accountable. I hope to see you all next round.

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

    @CamandJarvis I also struggle with finding the lunch that will hold me over until dinner. Like you wrote, I also think my afternoon cravings are more habit/boredom in the late afternoon (and not wanting to work after lunch ha!). I'm working on that plus the not snacking after dinner, which was easy last night because dinner didn't happen until around 9 PM due to working out after work. I had a late start on both. I made it out for a 15-minute walk the other day at around 2 PM to take a break and to avoid snacking. I'm going to try that again ... maybe today!

    It's taken a lot of trial and error on my end so don't give up! So far I've only found one meal to do the trick 2 days in a row. Today is the last day I have steak so tomorrow I'll be finding a protein alternative, I'm sure.
    My lunch this week has been leftover steak (4oz), 130g chickpeas which I heat and mash up (first couple days of fiber was not fun, but I'm good now), carrots, spinach, cucumber, and bell pepper that I make into a little wrap (fajita size tortilla to halve the calories/carbs of a full sized one). Any extra steak/chickpeas I can't fit on the wrap, I eat out of the bowl with any veggies that happen to fall out while munching on the wrap. It's delicious and very filling without making me feel too full once I finish the plate. But I am 100% with you on the working after lunch thing.. no matter what I do, I'm mentally done. I have to work until at least 3pm (business core hours are 9-3) so I've been working until 4 since many meetings run until then and get the majority of my 9 hours of daily work in the mornings BEFORE the lunch slump hits.

    Two little facts from the FeelGood Plan (and their sources):
    1. Walking for 15 minutes can reduce chocolate cravings by 50% [Oh, H, Taylor, A H, 2013. "A brisk walk, compared with being sedentary, reduces attentional bias and chocolate cravings among regular chocolate eaters with different body mass", Appetite, 2013 Dec]
    2. Working out can train your muscles and willpower. Just one workout can reduce snack cravings. Exercise changes the function and structure of the brain to strengthen self control. [Oh, h, Taylor, A H; 2014; "Self-regulating smoking and snacking through physical activity", Health Psychology, 2014] & [McGonigal, K, Steakley, L, 2011. "The Science of Willpower", Scope (Stanford Medicine)]

    Not sure who here is a nerd like me, but the body is FASCINATING and those two little tidbits of information have helped me stay on track, for the most part, the last 11 days.

    Hello everyone. I'm back, at least for a while. I didn't think I'd be absent for this long. 2022 was a very stressful year from beginning to end. New family illnesses and 2 sudden family deaths. I thank the Almighty for bringing me through it. HEALTHY NEW YEAR to all!

I never gave up on daily fasting, having 1 or 2 meals a day. I've been at the tipping point of OMAD since my sister died but I just won't do it. Now may be the time.

    SW: 221.8

    Day/Weight/Comment

    1/2 221.8

    1/3 220.3 (-1.5/-1.5) Not the best of days but better than previous as I have had no structure. I did plan meals for yesterday but got caught up in a snack frenzy toward the end of the day. I did manage to increase my water from 32 ounces on 1/2 to 80 ounces. I have planned my meals for today as well as targeting water at 80 ounces again.

    1/4 219.9 (-0.4/-1.9)

    1/5 218.8 (-1.1/-3.00) What a pleasant surprise. Expected a bump as we had leftovers from the weekend that were calorie rich! And I had bread and bread is not normally my friend.
    Today's plan is a chicken and vegetable stir fry and again, lots and lots of water.

    1/6 219.9 (+1.1/-1.90) Well that was short lived. I guess it took at day to catch up with me. Yesterday was a good day with the chicken and veggies so I should see a drop in the morning. 🤞🏽

    1/7 220.3 (+0.4/-1.5) This was my first weigh-in of the morning. Later on I stepped on and saw 218.4. I record the first weigh in of the morning..even though I may "check in" again. Not excited about tomorrow. I went to dinner for my husband's birthday...hard to track and know exactly....

    1/8 219.4 (-0.9/-2.4) Not bad...

    1/9 219.7 (+.3/-2.1) I'm good with this for a birthday weekend! :)


    1/10 221.4 (+1.7/-.4) Well there it is....I hate the delay....I so wanted to say DNW...but I did and here's the ugly truth. Tomorrow is another day.

    1/11 220.6 (-.8/-1.2) Considering all the celebrating in the last 10 days, I'm good. Moving on to round 211. I like this format - 10 days at a time. A 7 day week is tough as you normally land on the same weigh in day ...for me that's usually Monday after a weekend and that doesn't always tell the true story. I've done Friday's as well and they tend to give you an artificial sense of security going into the weekend. 10 days, start to finish, makes the end day different each round. Maybe just a mental game, but a mental game that works for me!

    Good Luck everyone, Round 2

    64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 210 (my 142nd). As always, thank you @QuiltingJaine.

    Goal for this round; flying off on holiday 7th Jan, so would like to lose 2 pounds and then hold that whilst we are away – big ask I know, so we'll see! Try to avoid Christmas goodies, just one small treat a day. No binges, keep within calories & macros, try to get walking around the weather (don't like walking in the rain!!!)
    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.

    SW: 137.4
    Day/Weight/Comment
    1/2 137.4 – 9.51 miles walked yesterday, supposed not to rain, but last 10 mins it started & we got wet!! Stayed within limits and an early night last night to catch up on lose of sleep New Year's Eve, up bright eyed & bushy tailed this morning ready for a lovely DRY ! long walk.
    1/3 136.6 – 12.6 miles walked, good food day.
    1/4 136.6 – 4.59 miles walked.
    1/5 137.8 – major chocolate/xmas goodies binge, must stop this, even walking 12.98 miles didn't offset! :(
    1/6 137.8 – slight improvement, but need to get better. Travelled up to child mind little DGS & do the school run again for his brother, took him to a taster gymnastics session for 3-4 year olds, he loved it!! Enrolled him for the remainder of the school term.
    1/7 DNW - got up at silly o'clock to get to the airport at 5.00am to beat Lanzarote mid afternoon. 9.64 miles walked yesterday.
    1/8 DNW - ate moderately & managed 8.06 miles yesterday around the airport and then along the promenade on our arrival.
    1/9 DNW- ate moderately, but on holiday so indulged in a couple of adult beverages. Walked 12.08 miles. I have been AWOL for a couple of days, wi-fi down in the hotel since our arrival 2 days ago, got catching up to do on reading!!
    1/10 DNW - out of control yesterday with eating; had way too many carbs, resolve today to make better choices. 11.31 miles walked, so enjoying the sun & warm weather, and the sangria, having a wonderful holiday 😊🍷🌞. Finally caught up on everyone's posts!
    1/11 DNW - did better yesterday, but I am still on holiday, so eating out and in the hotel is not ideal, sangria too!! Walked up extinct volcano behind our hotel & them around the perimeter, amazing views of Playa Blanca & across to Fuertaventura, then came down and walked to the harbour, 11.31 miles in total.
    I'M WORTH IT !!
    ﾑﾍThis is NOT A DIET. It’s a PERMANENT HEALTHY LIFESTYLE?￰ﾟﾑﾍ

    SW: 211.2 1/1/2023 Focus is on sugar and water intake for this round, less sugar and more water.
    Day/Weight/Comment

    1/2 210. This is a pleasant surprise. I did eat less sugar and I did drink more water. Now to do it again. I always start off well and within a few days I give in to emotional and stress eating. Need to keep myself busy.

    1/3 210 I’m very happy that the number did not go up. I did watch my sugar and drank my water but probably had too much sodium. Also not much movement yesterday.

    1/4 209.6. Another great day. I know the way this works but I always fail due to emotional eating. My biggest challenge has always been how to channel that into something else and control what I put in my mouth. Looking at planning food and activities one or two days at a time right now and not any further. I want it to become a new habit of better self care.

    1/5 209.6 Stayed the same but that’s great. So far so good today, challenges all around but need to also focus on me.

    1/6 210 I don’t know how that happened as I was under my calories for the day yesterday. I’ll just take it as a normal fluctuation.

    1/7 210 Ho hum! I didn’t gain but at least staying the same. I was good on the calories although hubby and I split a regular sized chicken Philly cheesesteak from Charlie’s. We had a combo and since he is on a low sodium diet I ate the fries. I’m sure that’s what happened with no loss.

    1/8 210.6. Snacking again with its consequential gain. How disappointing but I know it would happen as I was doing it. Is that progress? Still it continues to happen.

    1/9 210.2. Lost most of gain but still not close enough to round goal. A few more days to get there.

    1/10 210.6. Ate fast food cheeseburger and fries. Good the rest of the day. Hoping it’s mostly salt which was of course was higher.

    1/11 210 Better day. More mindful about what was going into my mouth.

    People are still dying out there……… and the numbers are on the rise again.
    😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
    JANUARY focus:
    * maintain weight < 140 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
    * Maintain Daily Solid Habits
    I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    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!

    @quiltingjaine, {{{hugs}}} I'm so sorry to hear that you and hubby were sick last year and still recovering. I think I saw that your DH had double shoulder replacement surgery? I can't even imagine what he went through before and after surgery. AND YOU taking care of him! The only thing I could possibly equate it to is my husband's hip replacement surgery. He was in a lot of pain before the surgery. I was in a lot of pain AFTER his surgery. Lol. I have a lot of catching up to do on here.

    HSW: 211.6 lb (Aug 2021)
    SW: 191.1 lb (Oct 2022)

    Round 208 ending weight: 175.5 lb (-0.5)

    Round 210 goal: To lose 2 pounds.
    Round 210 SW: 177.5 lb
    Round 210 EW: 173.7 lb (-1.8)

    Well I didn't quite reach my goal for this round but at least I got close. Overall I think I was consistent although I did struggle 1 day out of the 10. I upped my calories toward the end of this challenge and I am not sure if I will keep it that way.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    1/2: 177.0 lb
    Finally getting my calories back under control after being careless about it over Christmas and New Year.

    1/3: 176.4 lb
    Exercised and stayed within calories.

    1/4: 175.7 lb
    All good again. I am exercising quite a bit. I think I need a rest day though because my body feels tired. That will make it harder to stay under calorie target.

    1/5: 174.8 lb
    Stayed within calories but it was hard because I didn't have any exercise calories. Drank lots of ginger tea and ate lots of celery with a cottage cheese dip to get by. Started TTOM which always gives me a big loss.

    1/6: 175.3 lb
    All good. No surprises that there was a bit of a bounce because of my recent losses the past few days.

    1/7: 174.6 lb
    Kids made pizza and cheesecake for dinner. I ate back all my exercise calories which I usually don't do - I usually only eat back half. The food was delicious and I am glad I could show myself that I can resist the urge to overeat.

    1/8: 175.0 lb
    I think eating high calorie, low density food from yesterday caught up with me. I struggled the whole day then went off piste calorie wise. I think I will up my calories for a few days because I think my targets are a bit too aggressive. I feel tired all the time and hence I am likely to break eventually.

    1/9: 174.4 lb
    Hit my new calorie target and exercised.

    1/10: 173.7 lb
    All good. Was a very active day. Made a cauliflower rice stir fry that was so delicious one of my kids finished it off!

    1/11: 173.7 lb
    Another good day although I was less active.

    @tiabirdie56 All I can say is, it’s a good thing I love him! Fortunately he’s not a whiner or demanding. Unfortunately, he just wants to be left alone and needed to be reminded periodically that there were limits to what he was allowed to do. Like he decided he could drive 2 weeks after the second shoulder rather than waiting 4. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ At post op visit today the doctor said it sounded as if Carl needs a brain replacement-I can’t remember what goofy statement Carl had made- but I told the doctor it was too late. Carl agreed.

    @NuggetBrain Enjoy your time in Vegas. I hope there is sunshine and some warmth! I know we need the water but these sprinkles are annoying. LOL

    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.

    SW: 170 pounds: Ultimate Goal weight 145 pounds
    10 day goals:
    GW for this round: 169--With consistency, I have been fluctuating between 172 and 167 for a few years now. I want my high weight to be below 170 for at least 3 consecutive days by the end of the challenge.

    Goal 1: Cut down on the boozy days: Stay dry for 7 out of 10 days.
    :):):):)XX :):):)?

    Goal 2: Increase water intake: Hit 70 oz per day for 8 out of 10 days.
    :):):):):)X :):):):)

    Goal 3: Log my food 9 out of 10 days.
    :):):):):):):):):):)

    Goal 4: 20 minutes of movement separate from day to day activities. 8 out of 10 days.
    :):):)X :)X :):):):)

    I want to focus on the things I can control and put less focus on the numbers, but I hope that I can be consistently out of the 170s for 3 days straight by the end of the challenge.

    1/1 SW: 170.8
    Day/Weight/Comment

    1/2 AM Weigh-in 172.0--over a pound up since yesterday--I'll blame it on salty cravings yesterday-pickles, olives, and wonton soup. I also didn't hit the water goal, but yesterday was pre-game so it doesn't count toward this round's goals. I decided to add a movement goal because I have definitely been slacking in that area.

    1/3 171.2 I met my daily goals yesterday. But, anticipation of going back to work kept me up all night and when I finally started drifting off my dog got sick. According to Fitbit I got less than 3 hours which isn’t like me. I never gave trouble sleeping and usually get a solid 7-8 hours a night. Getting through today is going to be tough.

    1/4 169.8 even though I was exhausted yesterday—I put Holofit on freestyle and did my 20 minutes. I didn’t use a rower and it didn’t feel like a workout but I am sore today so it did something—I did the cycling which is just moving your arms for the freestyle mode—but i through in some dance steps for fun and I actually broke a sweat so im counting it. Still dry so far this year. You’d think I’d feel better because of it but I don’t feel any different. Maybe because of the sleepless night I had on Monday. I got almost 7 hours yesterday but mostly light sleep. My dog is having some intestinal issues and she was up a few times last night. I woke up to a run little gift to clean up in my bedroom this morning.

    I’m a lot more prepared for eating today because I finally got to do some grocery shopping. No more holiday leftovers for lunch and dinner.

    1/5 169.0 Skipped the movement yesterday but did good on all other fronts. My dog had me up again hours before my alarm. After taking her out 2 times it was too late to go back to sleep so I did a BOD stretch video. I feel so sore all over which is odd because I am not doing any intense workout. I think it might be a combination of sitting so much when I was on vacation last week, and not wearing sneakers. I need to get a new pair. I am either barefoot or wearing boots. All I know is that I am stiff all over and I feel achy and twisted up. . I need to stretch more. Yesterday I made a vegetable soup with some leftovers and it was delicious. Looking forward to having more of it for lunch tomorrow.

    1/6 168.8 Forced myself to put on shoes yesterday and get on the rower after dinner. I realize the putting on my sneakers is the hardest part of making myself move. But once I put them on--as ripped up and uncomfortable as the are--it made it a lot easier to get on the rower. I rowed my way down the Charles river in Boston with my Holofit, but the occulus needed to be recharged so I did my 20 minutes and stopped. I probably could have rowed a bit more. That app makes me really enjoy the movement almost as much as if I was outdoors and traveling for real.

    Today was a tough day. I actually slept through the night last night because my dog is starting to feel better, but my sleep didn't feel restful. I forgot my coat and my work bag and didn't realize it until I got to work. I felt frazzled all day. But it is Friday and I so far have 100% dry days so I think today might be a non-dry day for me. We shall see. I will try to hit my other targets first.

    1/7 168.4 It was a fun day spent with my daughter. I made some really good food choices in spite of going out to lunch. And played a mystery solving game. But I had some cocktails and stayed up late and ended up very hungry by the end of the night and ended up trying to satiate with random things--not sure I logged everything. I don't think I was attending to my hunger cues and didn't get enough water. I did 40 minutes on the rower--rowing through antarctica, the dessert, and some weird space world in Holofit.

    1/8 169.4 Woke up very thirsty and hungry. DD wants to go for a run today. I don't have good sneakers--although I ordered a pair that should be coming soon, and I haven't run in a while, also the area I live now has so many more hills than I am used to, so I think I might walk while she runs. I also want to clean out the fridge and set up my week so it will be as successful as last week.

    1/9 169.6 Moving in the wrong direction here. I am feeling in a funk today and it will take a lot to get me motivated to exercise. I am also out of a lot of my go to healthy dinner ingredients so figuring out dinner will be tough.

    1/10 168.8 One more day. I hope I finish strong. I am feeling much better now than yesterday. Some of my work anxiety has resolved it self a bit. One day to go. Let's finish strong!

    1/11 169.8 The big drop in the beginning of this challenge had me shift my expectations and so I was a little disappointed to see where I ended. But then I put into perspective. It is a pound down from when I started which is great! I met all of my behavior change goals. The working out was the hardest. I still have one boozy day and I think I might have a boozy drink with dinner tonight but I am still on the fence so I will leave that as a question mark. I am looking forward to the next round.

    Hi everyone,

    It's Day 10! We made it. I hope everyone is pleased.

    I am generally pleased, but, looking back, there are a few things I would like to improve.

    SW: 204
    Day/Weight/Comment
    1/2 204 (Wow. I gained five pounds over the holiday. It was a real shocker to see this number, although the fit of my pants should have provided a clue! Ate well today and exercised. Drank herb tea only after 7pm, which is a good strategy for me when I am trying to lose weight!)
    1/3 202 (Two pounds were obviously water weight! Plan for today: Eat on plan and track. 30+ mins brisk walk. 2-5 min. cardio burst 4x during the day. Lower body strength training 40 mins.)
    1/4 199 (?? Probably water weight and losing the carbs of the holiday from my gut? My muscles are slightly sore from weight training on Monday, so this will account for a pound or two as well, which might come off in the next few days? I’ll take it! Today, fewer carbs and more veggies. I ate a noodle bowl yesterday, which used up a lot of my day’s calories, but I felt a bit depleted and ate the carbs with great enjoyment!)
    1/5 200 (Sore today, and it is showing on the scale. All good! My eating was really good yesterday, and I got good exercise. No snackig after 7:00, but I did have tortilla chips with one meal... blue corn chips are so delicious! My post-holiday detox, no alcohol, is so far problem-free.)
    1/6 199 (Still quite sore, even after a rest day! Plan to work upper body today, in between trying to get my taxes done before school starts. Eating was good yesterday, and I stayed on plan, but tonight I may have to negotiate a restaurant meal. My strategy is to have a salad and lean protein, with no carb- or fat-laden extras. I may have a bite of someone’s dessert, but, for a person who grew up in an era where brewed coffee that had turned to creosote over many hours on the warming plate, tempered with--gag, cough, barf--powdered creamer, was the norm, a cappuccino really does feel like a treat!)
    1/7 199 (Had a good day for eating on plan, but was quite busy and did not do my planned workout. If the scale isn’t moving, it is probably due to that. It would be easier if exercise alone or planned eating alone would do the trick, but for me it is always—always--a combination of the two that results in weight loss! Today I will do BOTH!)
    1/8 200 (? I made pea soup, which does have salt, and had it for dinner with a slice of ham, so I am probably retaining water. Plan for today: Lots of desk work today, so need to put in at least 5 cardio bursts, an upper body workout and a nice walk in between sessions of sitting.)
    1/9 199 (Back to school today. Plan: eat as planned, run up to 5th floor 2x during the day. Sushi with son tonight and I know what I will have. No extra dynamite roll pieces! 2 is my limit so close to bedtime! I can do this! Soy sauce will definitely show on the scale tomorrow morning, so I will not despair!)
    1/10 201 (Had a few pieces of sashimi and sushi with my son last night and, yes, the scale is showing the salt. All good. It will cycle through! Today I need to jump on the treadmill right after school before I sit down with a pile of essays...)
    1/11 200 (Day 10! Made it! I feel good about my eating, but the exercise needs to be bumped up for the next challenge. Resisted Doritos and chocolate today...)

    Day/Weight/Comment
    1/2 / 179.8 / Yesterday was a great day across the board. I'm working on five habits in January and I checked all the boxes. My husband and I went for a really long walk and enjoyed the start of the New Year together. The dog was thankful too!
    1/3 / 178.4 / First day back to work for 2023 was a success in terms of staying on track with my goals. I have some intentional choices to make tonight to stay on track, but I feel confident.
    1/4 / 178.2 / Another good day, sticking with my habits and making it happen. Got on the Peloton tonight as well.
    1/5 / 178.8 / My alarm was not welcomed today. Lunch out with colleagues will require good planning.
    1/6 / 179.2 / An eventful day. My first Friday in years at the office. Only perk was getting to wear jeans for casual Friday. At lunch my boss threw us a pizza party as thanks for all the hard work over the holidays due to some issues in my industry. I ate well there and was proud of my choices overall. However, after work colleagues were going for beers, I had a couple, and then inhibitions went out the door. Ended up overeating on date night out with my husband. On the plus side, my steps are already over 12K today.

    1/8 / 180 / Happy with my choices at the dinner theatre last night. I got up and squeezed in a 15 minute Peloton ride before breakfast which is great because it's been pretty sedentary around here since then watching the football game. I'm waiting for my husband to finish his workout and then we'll walk the dog together. I travel for business later this week so we want to make the most of our weekend time together.
    1/9 / 180.4 / Yesterday was good across the board. I am up to commute into the office this morning. Lunch out with my husband planned and then salads for dinner.
    1/10 / 179 / Got my 10K steps yesterday. Went out for lunch but made good choices. Today I fly for business so I won't be back on a scale until Friday.
    1/11 / DNW / At a hotel without a scale so I can't weigh in until Friday. Today was a day full of meetings but I did use the hotel gym first thing and I made reasonable food choices.
