01/20 -196.8- (Trend weight 198.0) Well….that non-banner day on Wednesday has shown up I suppose. Yesterday was all within calorie and carb goal. 40 minutes of exercise bike and food spread out nice and evenly throughout the day. My daughter and DGS are back until late Sunday evening. I pushed her cheesecake onto her and DGS. I made sugar-free jello for me and my son. Hadn’t had it in awhile. Yum! I allowed for a dollop of redi-whip in the can (only 1 carb). I’ll be making this more often I think. It was very satisfying.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/12: 120.8 💪🏻⏱️ My treadmill works now!! Whoop! I did a walk+run yesterday and ran faster than I’ve ever run before. That thing is going to get some use, for sure. In the meantime, I signed up for a Peloton bike challenge that requires riding 3x per week. I’m suddenly less enthused for that! Today I have plans for a dog walk and a treadmill run.
1/13: 120.4 💪🏻⏱️ Not bad for the day after I promised my 3-year-old McDonald's for dinner! I got myself a quarter pounder with cheese (sandwich only; rethought after I asked for fries and a Coke with it) and cleaned up the kids' fries from their Happy Meals. Glad I went that route! I am already not fasting today because I made the kids bacon, eggs, and pancakes and could not resist a bacon strip. Healthy days over here!! Ah well. Tonight I'm meeting my husband a couple hours away to see our favorite band and staying in a hotel away from the kids. I'm excited but I'm sure I will overindulge. I'll try to do a Peloton ride during the workday today but I really have to get the house/instructions ready for the overnight sitter! And, yanno, do my job. Happy Friday everyone!
1/14 - 💪🏻⏱️ DNW
1/15 - 125.4, ugh. I was way off track yesterday and Friday. Glad I stepped on the scale this morning to motivate myself to stay in control today. We’ll be watching football (Go Bills!) and going to a second birthday party today so I’ll have to be careful. Hopefully I can do a workout first. It’s hard on weekends when the kids are home from daycare 😅
1/16 - 💪🏻⏱️ 121.6 phew. Must have cranked through some of that retained water. The kids have daycare only for the morning while I’m off today, so I am going to do a 45-minute group Peloton ride with my challenge team, should be fun to have lots of people to virtually high five! Also need to fold laundry and organize toys. My guess is I’ll only get through laundry before my little tornadoes come home.
1/17 - 💪🏻⏱️ 122.8 I think. Was not very on-plan yesterday. We got BBQ with sides for lunch, and then for some reason I was just really off the rails. Well, I know why. TOM is on deck. I hate this part of the month so much. Going to do a treadmill run later this morning but really need to get a lot of work done today. My tendency to procrastinate drives me crazy.
1/18 - ⏱️ 121.6. My body really likes this weight. I'm okay with it for now, mayyybe I can hit my round goal of 120.6. Want to start trending down and find a good weight to stop at. This could be it, but I am still on the fence! Glad to be back in my routine this week. I've forgotten my core rehab twice this round, but twice since 12/31 isn't too bad. I did do a treadmill run AND an outdoor run yesterday and ate back pretty much every calorie. My PMS is hitting hard. Today I have plans to walk/jog to the nearby farm for some veggies with my neighbor over lunch break, and the weather is beautiful!
1/19 - ⏱️ 121.0. I was a little late weighing this morning so not sure how real this number is. It was after coffee and a brisk dog walk, so maybe they offset each other to be pretty close. Doesn't really matter, just nice to have something to enter.
Today is really busy at my house. Getting a new washer/dryer delivered this morning and the cleaner is coming which means scrambling to clear surfaces and the floor haha. Since I also have to do my job that might mean just gathering everything up into a box TBH. We are not tidy folk over here. That is one thing I would like to change about myself. My husband's SIL and nephew are coming late late late tonight to stay for two nights while the nephew checks out the local university. I hope he wants to go there. It would be so fun to have him near!
1/20 - ⏱️ 121.8 Ugh I keep forgetting my core rehab. We also ate out last night and I'm sure I went over calories. Planning on eating out yet again tonight so I'm going to try to do OMAD, or at least fast until 4ish depending on what time we'll be eating. Supposed to do a 45 minute endurance run on the treadmill, and I need to take the crazy pooches for a walk. However, my oldest wasn't feeling 100% this morning so I need to crank on work this morning until I get a call from his daycare. Happy Friday everyone!

1/12 221.0 (+0.4/+0.4) Not exactly the right direction but I'll get back on track. Yesterday was nail day, so I got home late and then just found "something" to eat. Lunch wasn't the best either as I found myself googling "what's better McDonald's or Jimmy Johns". Opted for Jimmy's Johns. It's really poor planning on my part. I have two dinners to attend within this round, and then I should be good with celebrations until 2/7/2023.

1/16 220 (-0.0/-0.6) Seems I'm in a holding pattern. Better than gaining. I had planned to shop yesterday but didn't leave the house. Today on the way home I will stop and stock up on some healthy choices. Today's "plan" should provide a change (hopefully downward) on the scale.
1/17 220.5 (+0.5/-0.1) I think my scale is broken! I did shop yesterday and the rest of my week is planned...Healthy snacks included. Tomorrow's another day.
1/18 220.0 (-0.5/-0.6) So this is how it's going to be....I'm ready for the next round!!!!! 😜

Day/Weight/Comment
1/12: 131.6 - 4 days in a row of focused eating and exercise have given me a whoosh down at the end of last round. About to head out overnight to see my daughter and will try to get some exercise in before we leave.
1/13: DNW -traveling and no scale today.
1/14: 131.6 - Back from a quick trip to see my daughter (3+ hour drive each way). Managed to get workouts in on both travel days, but had to be mindful with food since we ate out for both dinner and breakfast. Although I was under calories with the added exercise calories, I did eat after 8pm both nights. Low on hydration both days as well. Will see what tomorrow’s scale reading brings.
1/15: 132.3 - Got a workout and a walk in despite the stormy weather here. I ate well within calories, but perhaps the last two days of travel/eating out are doing their blip today.
1/16: 131.4 - Got my workouts in and good eating and sleep.
1/17: 130.3 - Workout, plus an almost repeat of yesterday’s meals, but only so-so sleep. Fingers crossed that today will be our first full day without rain since before the new year.
1/18: 130.7 - It has been a good round so far in terms of calories in - calories out as well as no late night snacking and limiting sugar. I thought there might be even more water retention since the dish I made last night seemed on the salty side even though I didn’t add any where near as much salt as the recipe stated.
1/19: 131 - Was doing okay until my husband got hungry at the hockey game and got some popcorn.
1/20: 130.7 - Between appointments and trying to get my workout in, ended up doing an unintentional OMAD.

1/12 / DNW / I won't have access to a scale until Friday, be back then!
1/13 / 176.6 / Happy my good choices on my business trip led to weight loss.. felt in the zone. I have a night out planned tonight so I'll need to stay focused on continuing my good choices.
1/14 / 174.2 / Up to go out a mini road trip with friends that will include a brunch. We go to this place every two months and I always get the same meal so it's pre-tracked. Makes life easier, and I like it!
1/15 / 174.6 / Today I'll focus on exercise around watching the Bills game. We know what our food plans will be so I will pre-track to stay on track.
1/16 / 175.8 / Mental funk in my way today... trying to push through. Still getting used to having to commute on Mondays.

Day/Weight/Comment no food after dinner 💚
1/12 - 176.2
I was really hungry last night, and not just in my head, so I had a banana and broke my streak, but that’s ok once in a while. Friends coming for dinner tonight, but I have my day planned to minimize damage. That should work!
1-13 - 176.6
Friends didn’t make it last night so that dinner is postponed, but we ate pretty much the same things as planned, including key lime pie. It was good, but enough sweets for me for a while, so we may end up tossing the remains of the pie unless DH snarfs it. He’s not much of a snarfer, which is why he’s been thin all his 87 years. (I’m not that old — child bride 😁). Anyway, back on track today and, hopefully, for the rest of the round and beyond. I’m really appalled, though, at how low my calories have to be to lose and maintain. Other than yesterday, I’ve had to go to 1100 or lower to lose. That’s not much food.
1/14 - 176.4
Slipped up on the after dinner snacks again—had a half piece of the key lime pie. But I did walk out in the cold a fair amount—have to tire out the puppy!
1/15 - 177.4
I hate when that happens! Probably time lag from Thurs and a little slippage on the no after-dinner snacking. I’ll be reminding myself today! Off in a few minutes for tracking training with the pup and a couple of friends with their dogs. That’s worth a couple of miles of walking. Planning salad for lunch and Tunisian shakshouka (eggs poached in spicy chopped tomatoes) for dinner. Nice low-cal day. Now to stick to it! Happy Sunday, everyone!
1/16 - 176.8
Ok, back in the right direction, although I did break down and have some ice cream last night. But I weighed my portion and stuck to one serving per the container, which is less than I usually take! Back on track today.
1/17 - 176.8
Not perfect yesterday, but not too bad. Little by little. I’m still hoping to get to the 75s by the end of the round, or close. If I get back to not snacking, that should be doable.
1/18 - 177
Okie dokie. The scale didn’t get the memo! It’s ok, I have a good day planned and am off for a puppy walk.
1/19 - 177.6
Salty dinner last night —DH made pork fried rice and went a little overboard with the fish sauce. And I snacked. I don5 know what’s gotten back into me. I think it’s partly sleep deprivation—still up every 2-3 hours with the puppy. I’ll be glad when he can hold it all night!
1/20 - 177.4
Well, clearly I won’t make my goal of getting below 176 this round. I did slip up on my no snacking after dinner venture, but I’ll try to get back with it. @quiltingjaine , I feel your pain. The puppy got me up every 1-2 hours last night, and he did have to go every time, but wow, I’m a zombie. I’ll be glad when he can wait longer!

Ate within calorie budget and exercised.
1/13: 173.7 lb
Very stressful day. Did not stay within calorie target and did not exercise.
1/14: 174.8 lb
I was fine until dinner. Kids made pizza again and I couldn't moderate my eating. I was even sitting there trying to talk myself out of eating more but I just didn't want to apply my strategies. I have much less self control when I am stressed. The only thing I can do about the stress is to ask for help which I will do next week. Also I will review my photo collage of quotes and photos in the hope it will put me back on track.
1/15: 174.8 lb
Stayed with calorie goals and exercised.
1/16: 175.3 lb
I was fine until dinner again. I usually pre-record dinner but the plan changed and I was not prepared. I feel like I am struggling to turn this around. I am out of ideas.
1/17: 175.4 lb
I took it decision by decision trying to make the healthiest choice at the time. Stayed within calorie budget and exercised. Now to keep it up for the rest of the challenge!
1/18: 174.4 lb
Stayed within calorie budget and exercised.
1/19: 174.4 lb
Another day on target.
1/20: 173.9 lb
Hit my targets again. Glad to see a some movement downward in my weight. But tonight is pizza night again! I will use it as an exercise to flex my self control muscles. I don't want what happened last pizza night to happen 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.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.

Hi, I’m Christine 😊
1st Round Joining
Age 53, 5’5”
Heaviest- 345 lbs (prior to gastric bypass in Aug 2005)
Current Weight- 157.6 lbs
Goal Weight- 150 lbs (TBD)
This looks fun and encouraging! Thanks! I am looking to make new MFP friends for inspiration! Especially looking to connect with those who have had gastric bypass and struggle with regain.
This week's daily goals: 90 grams of protein, 8 cups fluid, take vitamins/supplements, chill out on the ice-cream sammiches!
1/13- Took supplements! 116 g of protein! 7 cups of fluid and 1 ice-cream sammich.
1/14- 157.0 lbs, took supplements, 94 g of protein, 7 cups of fluids and 2 ice-cream sammiches. That is one ice-cream sammich too many, but this challenge is really helping me to stay more accountable! It was bitterly cold and I didn't walk much. Had intended on doing a YouTube walking video (I really like Grow With Jo) but I had a friend over for coffee and so I ran out of time. Hope everyone has a great Sunday.😊
1/15-157.2 lbs, took iron*, took supplements, 88 g protein, 10 cups fluids, 1 ice-cream sammich. Didn’t walk today (called the dog walker) but did do a bunch of cleaning so that is at least something.
1/16- 156.6 lbs, took iron, took supplements, 95 g protein, 8 cups fluids, 0 ice-cream sammiches!
1/17- 157.0 lbs, took iron, took supplements, 89 g protein, 1 ice-cream sammich, but unfortunately only 5 cups fluids. ☹
1/18-156.4 lbs, took iron, took supplements, 86 g protein, 7 cups fluids, 1 ice-cream sammich.
1/19- 157.0 lbs. Today was kind of a fail. I did take my iron, and took supplements, but only 49 g protein, and 4 cups fluids. Thankfully, just 1 ice-cream sammich…
1/20- 155.8 lbs, took iron, took supplements, 75 g protein, 4 cups fluids, decided to chuck the ice-cream sammiches in the garbage...
1/21-
*I had read that taking iron with caffeine or dairy impacted absorption, so I had stopped taking iron altogether. However, I have recently read that taking it with caffeine or dairy is better than not taking it at all! I often suffer from anemia, so I have decided to start supplementing again, even though I take it with coffee. I did bloodwork recently so I’m sure my dr. will let me know how my iron levels are.
**thoughts for next challenge: daily meditation, journalling, affirmations, body weight exercises

Thanks, @quiltingjaine , for all your hard work to keep this running, hats off to you!
So self- sabotage got the better of me, and here I am, nearly 2 stone regained, urgh. My body aches from the extra load and my self esteem is in the pits. I'm not going to let this go on any further, I know exactly how to do it, it's easy really... just log everything, get active and stay accountable.

***************************************
1/13 : 165.0 Well, here goes... just trying to get back into the habit of logging everything this round and being more active x
1/14 : 163.4 Ok that's a good start. I had salty Chinese food on Wednesday night and had just got back from a flight so I probably had a lot of water weight. Also just finished totm so hormones are a bit wobbly. Didn't manage to get out for a walk yesterday. We're due rain and snow all next week so I really need to make an effort this weekend to get out. Went to the supermarket and stocked up on the type of food that I was eating last time I was successfully losing weight. I like to include things that come in individual packages like cheese portions, salami, crackers and cereal bars, alongside things that are bulky but low in calories like soups and salads. The packets are usually more expensive and lower in nutrients/ higher in salt etc but they help me to not feel deprived as they are tasty and feel a bit naughty and I am able to easily control my portions. Switched to decaf coffee recently and it's been a revelation, I am so much less anxious and am sleeping so well. I have been drinking alcohol heavily for far too long so cutting that out is going to be very hard but logging will help, as will exercise and seeing progress.
1/15 : 162.2 Back to where I was, many moons ago in round 160, my first round. Hey ho, at least that gives me a fair idea of how long it will take me to get back to where I was when I fell off the rails- about 5 months if I work hard. Yesterday was challenging as I was home alone and bored so trying not to mindlessly graze. I managed to stay within my calorie goal but still no exercise. I need a kick up the bum to get started. I struggle with self-consciousness and social anxiety, so leaving the house just to go for a walk is a battle. Getting to the gym seems impossible right now, but I need to overcome this somehow for my mental and physical health to improve.
1/16 : 161.8 Gritted my teeth and got out for a 5 mile walk yesterday, which was good, but hard work on the hills, I need to build up some muscles. I'll go again today but choose a different, less muddy route. Did some batch cooking, quorn bolognese with chunky veg, which is 190cals per portion with 5g of parmesan on top. Nom nom
1/17 : 161.4 managed another walk yesterday, but only 3.5 miles. I found it really tough so had to cut it short. It's freezing cold and there's mud everywhere so my legs felt like lead traipsing up hills and the wind was bitter. Having a bit of sugar withdrawal I think. Had a couple of unplanned squares of dark chocolate in a moment of weakness. I'll put the rest in the freezer to keep it out of sight. Feeling very stiff today but the sun is shining brightly so I'd better go and make the most of it.
1/18 : 160.4 Struggled a bit with self discipline yesterday and really had to force myself to get up off the sofa and get active. I had the house to myself all day and I can be really lazy when no-one's watching. Walked to the furthest local supermarket to pick up a few supplies, which was a 2 mile round trip. I should have walked more but left it too late in the day. The sun set at 4:25pm yesterday, it'll be 4:27 today and 4:30 tomorrow- roll on longer days!
1/19 : 160.2 I didn't find time for a walk yesterday as I had a slow morning, mainly due to my cat repeatedly waking me up through the night, so was low on energy. I was busy with housework and shopping in the afternoon and it was dark before I knew it.
1/20 : 159.6 Had a positive day yesterday, lot's of energy and in a good mood. I didn't get out for a walk but I was on my feet all day, cooking and cleaning. We have my DH bro and his wife coming to stay for 2 nights with their new baby and 4 year old daughter. I'm going to do my best to stick to my calorie goal, but I don't want to seem rude by not eating what everyone else is.
1/21 : 160.8 Last night's meal of sausages and mash with cheesecake for pudding is the reason for the gain here. I'll do my best to be more strict today. I've made a soup for lunch which I can log and DH is making lamb curry for dinner. I don't like lamb so I have an excuse not to join in with that meal. My little niece is full of energy so I'll take her out for a run around later and try and get some activity in.
Off to a good start with this being my first round back after a year off the wagon. Next week will be tricky as we have guests for the next couple of days, then on Tuesday we have to make a quick trip to Portugal, back on Wednesday night. Flying always causes water retention in me.

1/21- 186.6 I’ll take it as a successful round. I do feel like I’ve stopped the December gain. I suspect TOM is the culprit for my bump. I gave in to my sugar craving yesterday but stayed in calorie range.
This morning is my big four hour charity spin. It will be fun but exhausting. Although it’s not an excuse to just go off the rails, I have planned today to be pizza and wings for lunch.6 -
64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 211 (my 143rd). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.
Goal for this round; first half still on holiday, second half on return I need to reverse the holiday weight gain.one. 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/12 DNW - walked 11.1 miles yesterday.
1/13 DNW - started with all good intentions of a better choices day which went to put in the evening, we were booked into the steak night, massive juicy delicious steak, half would have been plenty for me, was served with chips which I regretfully ate the lot & then cheesecake which to be honest was quite tasteless, so why did I eat it!! Felt bloated all night ?ﾟﾘﾪ. Walked 11.7 miles.
1/14 DNW - made a concerted effort to eat more consciously yesterday, made better choices and left rice in my plate when I was satisfied. Walked 11.86 miles. Last full days holiday today.
1/15 Today we leave to catch a plane home, tomorrow I will see the damage, sad I'm leaving the sun, happy I'll be getting back to normal eating and tracking the weight gain. 12.65 miles walked.
1/16 141 – so, there's the damage !! 4 pounds up in 8 days, I'll endeavour to have a perfect 5 days to see if I can drop half of this. I'll prelog food each day and keep walking – 92.16 miles walked in the 8 days we were away, dread to think how much I would have put on if I'd sat around the pool all day!!
1/17 140 – 9.56 miles walked, perfect food day; 35 exercise calories eaten back.
1/18 140 - 10.75 miles walked, 121 of 757 exercise calories eaten back.
1/19 139.2 – 12.06 miles walked (in the snow which unexpectedly fell overnight!!) , 12% exercise calories eaten back.
1/20 139.2 – no structured walking – childminding little DGS, took him up to see DS & little DGDs, precious time. Not much chance for structured walking today either as travelling up for a funeral of a friend we were very close to through out the '90s, but sort of drifted apart late naughties, sad time. Must continue to keep food under control.
1/21 138.2 – wow ! Really pleased with this, a good chunk of holiday weight lost. Funeral was really sad, but nice to reflect on lovely memories of good times together. No structured walking, but managed to get home in time to go to a dance practice, 2 hours solid dancing burns calories!!
I'M WORTH IT !!

01/20 -196.8- (Trend weight 198.0) Well….that non-banner day on Wednesday has shown up I suppose. Yesterday was all within calorie and carb goal. 40 minutes of exercise bike and food spread out nice and evenly throughout the day. My daughter and DGS are back until late Sunday evening. I pushed her cheesecake onto her and DGS. I made sugar-free jello for me and my son. Hadn’t had it in awhile. Yum! I allowed for a dollop of redi-whip in the can (only 1 carb). I’ll be making this more often I think. It was very satisfying.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/12: 120.8 💪🏻⏱️ My treadmill works now!! Whoop! I did a walk+run yesterday and ran faster than I’ve ever run before. That thing is going to get some use, for sure. In the meantime, I signed up for a Peloton bike challenge that requires riding 3x per week. I’m suddenly less enthused for that! Today I have plans for a dog walk and a treadmill run.
1/13: 120.4 💪🏻⏱️ Not bad for the day after I promised my 3-year-old McDonald's for dinner! I got myself a quarter pounder with cheese (sandwich only; rethought after I asked for fries and a Coke with it) and cleaned up the kids' fries from their Happy Meals. Glad I went that route! I am already not fasting today because I made the kids bacon, eggs, and pancakes and could not resist a bacon strip. Healthy days over here!! Ah well. Tonight I'm meeting my husband a couple hours away to see our favorite band and staying in a hotel away from the kids. I'm excited but I'm sure I will overindulge. I'll try to do a Peloton ride during the workday today but I really have to get the house/instructions ready for the overnight sitter! And, yanno, do my job. Happy Friday everyone!
1/14 - 💪🏻⏱️ DNW
1/15 - 125.4, ugh. I was way off track yesterday and Friday. Glad I stepped on the scale this morning to motivate myself to stay in control today. We’ll be watching football (Go Bills!) and going to a second birthday party today so I’ll have to be careful. Hopefully I can do a workout first. It’s hard on weekends when the kids are home from daycare 😅
1/16 - 💪🏻⏱️ 121.6 phew. Must have cranked through some of that retained water. The kids have daycare only for the morning while I’m off today, so I am going to do a 45-minute group Peloton ride with my challenge team, should be fun to have lots of people to virtually high five! Also need to fold laundry and organize toys. My guess is I’ll only get through laundry before my little tornadoes come home.
1/17 - 💪🏻⏱️ 122.8 I think. Was not very on-plan yesterday. We got BBQ with sides for lunch, and then for some reason I was just really off the rails. Well, I know why. TOM is on deck. I hate this part of the month so much. Going to do a treadmill run later this morning but really need to get a lot of work done today. My tendency to procrastinate drives me crazy.
1/18 - ⏱️ 121.6. My body really likes this weight. I'm okay with it for now, mayyybe I can hit my round goal of 120.6. Want to start trending down and find a good weight to stop at. This could be it, but I am still on the fence! Glad to be back in my routine this week. I've forgotten my core rehab twice this round, but twice since 12/31 isn't too bad. I did do a treadmill run AND an outdoor run yesterday and ate back pretty much every calorie. My PMS is hitting hard. Today I have plans to walk/jog to the nearby farm for some veggies with my neighbor over lunch break, and the weather is beautiful!
1/19 - ⏱️ 121.0. I was a little late weighing this morning so not sure how real this number is. It was after coffee and a brisk dog walk, so maybe they offset each other to be pretty close. Doesn't really matter, just nice to have something to enter.
Today is really busy at my house. Getting a new washer/dryer delivered this morning and the cleaner is coming which means scrambling to clear surfaces and the floor haha. Since I also have to do my job that might mean just gathering everything up into a box TBH. We are not tidy folk over here. That is one thing I would like to change about myself. My husband's SIL and nephew are coming late late late tonight to stay for two nights while the nephew checks out the local university. I hope he wants to go there. It would be so fun to have him near!
1/20 - ⏱️ 121.8 Ugh I keep forgetting my core rehab. We also ate out last night and I'm sure I went over calories. Planning on eating out yet again tonight so I'm going to try to do OMAD, or at least fast until 4ish depending on what time we'll be eating. Supposed to do a 45 minute endurance run on the treadmill, and I need to take the crazy pooches for a walk. However, my oldest wasn't feeling 100% this morning so I need to crank on work this morning until I get a call from his daycare. Happy Friday everyone!
1/21 - ⏱️💪🏻 121.2 for a net loss of .4 lb this round. I didn’t make my round goal but that’s okay. We’ve eaten out 3 consecutive days due to poor planning 🤦🏻♀️ Heading to the farmer’s market this morning so hopefully we can find some good veggies. See everyone next round!8 -
Hello all! I’m Amanda from Michigan. I set goals in 2023 to eat more fruit and veggies and fiber and to increase meditation. I’m doing well on everything but the meditation. I did very well on these 10 day challenges over the summer and fall but am facing a major health crisis this year and am just struggling to stay on track.
Good luck to all!

Getting all my fruits and veggies in, not doing so good on the fiber. Calories are NOT set to maintenance even though my body seems to think they are. There’s a lot of health stress in my life right now so maybe that’s it. I need to get this weight off to be healthier though!
1/17: 203.4

I am still trying to figure out “maintenance”- I am not intentionally trying to lose weight-but I do not want to give up my exercise and my appetite has always been limited.
I am still not sure how much my thyroid is playing a role in this weight fluctuation-I go back next month for more blood work. Was pleased with the Rheumatologist report on Thursday.
Hopefully the next round will be smoother

Day/Weight/Comment no food after dinner 💚
1/12 - 176.2
I was really hungry last night, and not just in my head, so I had a banana and broke my streak, but that’s ok once in a while. Friends coming for dinner tonight, but I have my day planned to minimize damage. That should work!
1-13 - 176.6
Friends didn’t make it last night so that dinner is postponed, but we ate pretty much the same things as planned, including key lime pie. It was good, but enough sweets for me for a while, so we may end up tossing the remains of the pie unless DH snarfs it. He’s not much of a snarfer, which is why he’s been thin all his 87 years. (I’m not that old — child bride 😁). Anyway, back on track today and, hopefully, for the rest of the round and beyond. I’m really appalled, though, at how low my calories have to be to lose and maintain. Other than yesterday, I’ve had to go to 1100 or lower to lose. That’s not much food.
1/14 - 176.4
Slipped up on the after dinner snacks again—had a half piece of the key lime pie. But I did walk out in the cold a fair amount—have to tire out the puppy!
1/15 - 177.4
I hate when that happens! Probably time lag from Thurs and a little slippage on the no after-dinner snacking. I’ll be reminding myself today! Off in a few minutes for tracking training with the pup and a couple of friends with their dogs. That’s worth a couple of miles of walking. Planning salad for lunch and Tunisian shakshouka (eggs poached in spicy chopped tomatoes) for dinner. Nice low-cal day. Now to stick to it! Happy Sunday, everyone!
1/16 - 176.8
Ok, back in the right direction, although I did break down and have some ice cream last night. But I weighed my portion and stuck to one serving per the container, which is less than I usually take! Back on track today.
1/17 - 176.8
Not perfect yesterday, but not too bad. Little by little. I’m still hoping to get to the 75s by the end of the round, or close. If I get back to not snacking, that should be doable.
1/18 - 177
Okie dokie. The scale didn’t get the memo! It’s ok, I have a good day planned and am off for a puppy walk.
1/19 - 177.6
Salty dinner last night —DH made pork fried rice and went a little overboard with the fish sauce. And I snacked. I don5 know what’s gotten back into me. I think it’s partly sleep deprivation—still up every 2-3 hours with the puppy. I’ll be glad when he can hold it all night!
1/20 - 177.4
Well, clearly I won’t make my goal of getting below 176 this round. I did slip up on my no snacking after dinner venture, but I’ll try to get back with it. @quiltingjaine , I feel your pain. The puppy got me up every 1-2 hours last night, and he did have to go every time, but wow, I’m a zombie. I’ll be glad when he can wait longer!
1/21 - 176.8
Ok, not too bad considering I backslid to nighttime snacking and went over my calories goals many days. I did better yesterday, and feel like I’m ready to get back on track. Maybe I’m an every-other-round stick-to-it-er. 😁 See you next round!

For this being my first round and it being period madness this was a good round for me.
AWARENESS of habits / rationlizations is key.
AWARENESS of how just a .5 on the scale would affect my mood - which is madness.
I appreciate the support and awareness of others on this journey.
See you for the next round. Goodbye 190's on the horizon

@joans1976 Amanda, I understand why that can be depressing but your body is going “what the Heck?” Use what you are learning and hang in there. If you look at my spoiler, you can see that all rounds aren’t great (my first 10 rounds yielded a 12# loss.) I had to get my head around my new way of eating and by body had to decide it felt better.5
