1/22 168.2 Up a bit since yesterday. Last round I just let loose. Lot's of good things that shook up my routines and I gave in and let it get away from me. Surprisingly I ended the round down in pounds. I'll be happy with one pound down every 10 days. I am not in any rush to reach my goal weight--but I want to change my habits so that it doesn't creep back up.

Good. I’m headed back down despite the sample oatmeal-coconut-raisin cookie from the batch I baked for DH. I just shoveled the driveway and sidewalks so I’m feeling warm and energized! I hope it sticks for a few hours. Still wrestling with puppy-induced sleep deprivation, although he did nap a long time yesterday afternoon because one of my training buddies brought her 15-week-old Flat-coated Retriever puppy over to play. My Booker is 10.5 weeks. Boy, did they have fun wrestling and running and getting wet and dirty. We had fun watching, and then cleaning them up! Some of you said “more pics,” so here they are in a less frenzied moment, my Booker on the left and Chaos on the right. Cutie boys.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/21 …..196.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

01/22 -197.4- (Trend weight 197.8) An uptick from yesterday. I stayed within calorie limits but carbs were too high. I made homemade chicken noodle soup so I know the noodles affected the scale. To offset I had a practically zero carb breakfast and no lunch to make up for the dinner. The snacks though were on the carby side too. No binges, no loss of control. Just a conscience choice to have soup for dinner. I am still feeling good and strong. Today’s menu will be similar to yesterday’s but I have already frozen two large portions (using it up) and had DD, SIL and DGS for dinner yesterday and they will eat on it again today so it should be gone soon. A nice treat. I don’t know if there is an egg noodle style noodle out there to substitute for next time. Last I looked (chickpea, zucchini, cauliflower etc.) was much much higher in carbs than I would have expected and would not have made much of an impact on overall carbs for the day.

New Round, New chances for us to reach our dreams, my friends. My goal remains to weigh less than I ended the round before. That’s it. Let’s go! We got this!

01/23 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

SW: 146.4 / Gained 1.2 pounds last round

So I gained 1.2 pounds last round, almost negating the 2 pounds I lost the round before. This round will be interesting because I will not be able to do any aerobic workouts due to the foot surgery (ugh!). In the meantime I'm doing workouts from the floor and some pull-ups, which is not the same of course, but better than nothing, right?!?

@staceymcmd My DH wasn’t really on board when I decided we were eating dinner earlier (between 3 and 4PM) but he has adjusted - except the days he plays cards. Those are closer to 4:30.And he snacks A LOT in the evenings.

@deepwoodslady My daughter and I tried making some Keto noodles that totally fell apart when we dropped them in the bubbling broth. LOL Here is a website with lots of information if you’re interested in making your own.

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

I need to get back to a fasting schedule.

1/22 126.5 Fasted until 4:30 or 5. Got an Unwich at Jimmy John’s (#7) and could only eat half! I did have a glass of red wine and dumped the remaining 1/2 bottle down the drain!

RockinRobyn672

@Machias1949 Congrats on reaching maintenance and thanks for posting your "Lessons for Maintenance"! I think these are also tips for losing weight, most of which I'm going to try to follow (except for the ice in the wine lol).

Machias1949

@RockinRobyn672 Clearly the ice in the wine is my best advice-it made me go from 7 or 8 oz. a night to 5oz. But I will not ruin a good glass of wine with this trick-That would be a crime!

Hi all,

Hi all,

Thank you, @quiltingjaine for the new challenge!

It is really snowing hard outside, and the light from the window is grey. I have assignments to mark, with nervous gr.12s revising and re-submitting essays and discussions this weekend, so I'm commenting and even Zooming with the nervous ones. They are applying to universities this month and want to have the best marks possible, since certain programs in Canada are very competitive. I feel sorry for them! My deadline for this reporting period is tomorrow, so, with everything shifting around, I actually feel a bit sorry for myself as well! Poor me! Stuck at my desk all day!

Oh, well. Over soon and these kids are so, so deserving of the time it takes to give extra support. I will think of a non-food reward for myself if I end up doing what I need to do for school and also stay on track with nutrition and exercise, which is what I need to do for myself today.

One of my students is in Russia at the moment with her parents, checking in on ailing grandparents, so she is trying to do her work online with bad wifi and an unreliable VPN. I am so worried about them. What if Putin does actually close the borders and start a new round of conscription, as his advisors have loudly suggested, and this family can't get out? Any man from 18-60 is subject to conscription, so Dad could be sent to Ukraine to kill and suffer and potentially be killed himself. The Ukraine war feels very close to home today.

Hope everyone is well, happy and enjoying better weather than I am! For some areas, but not mine unfortunately, February is crocus and forsythia time. It's coming!

(In maintenance)
🍎🍓🍇🥝🫐🥝🍇🍓🍎
🍎🥝JANUARY 2022 🥝🍎
🍎🍓🍇🥝🫐🥝🍇🍓🍎
Mostly over Covid but still one or two niggly symptoms hanging on.

• In Maintenance since July 2019
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal range

Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessary.
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!
220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's

🔹Posting weight and comments each evening.

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!

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 212 (my 144th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.

Goal for this round; aimimg to lose a pound and a half. 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
1/22 137.8 – good start to the round, hope it's not just because I had a lie in after a late night and therefore weighed in late – the scale initially showed yesterday's weight 138.2 & then dropped down to 137.8 – I'll take it !! I'll stay strong today to try to retain this number.

1/23 137.8 – 7.73 miles walked. ¼ exercise calories eaten back.
