@Skyleen75 My late MIL was a food pusher. Sometimes it’s really hard to resist. Small portions, you can do this!

@deepwoodslady Avoid anything ending in -ose. Regarding monk fruit . . .
@amnu_co and @fmfdfa2020 I bought my first monk fruit liquid sweetener last week because the store quit carrying their own brand of liquid stevia. Flavored liquid stevia was about $13 for 2 oz but you use so little that lasts a very long time. I use it in one or more cups of coffee. The monk fruit flavored liquid (2 oz for under $5) takes about 4 times as much to achieve the same sweetness and flavor. I guess I’ll be searching on Amazon. Just MHO and experience.

@Kayjay1960 I am a bread-aholic. I knew I had to not eat as much of it because it triggers an insulin response that requires frequent “doses” of bread! Going low carb-keto is what works for me and I have also figured out that large amounts of “good” carbs (such as fiber) are not good for me.

@quiltingjaine Thanks for giving your experience with each. I haven't tried stevia either, so will give both a try and see if they do the trick.

@sheilaboneham LOL-not sure I would call myself a “writer?” I wrote my father’s life story (mainly for my siblings), I wrote a children’s book about my dad’s family on the Oregon Trail (for my grandchildren and nieces and nephews). I wrote my great grandfather’s life story as told by my father as a young boy (again for my family)

This story is different-it is ALSO a TRUE story-but NOT about my family. It is a minister (Rev. George Jones Adams) who in the 1860’s conned people that he was a religious leader chosen by God to take them to Jaffa for the second coming. Since the families have loaned me their family diaries and letters-I am doing it for them. Once done, I will send copies to the historical centers near the locations plus provide it free on a facebook site I set up for them.

I will take your advice and pace myself. It is hard as I get tied up in the research. I promised the families I would get this done six months ago.

@Machias1949 OMG, how wonderful of you to have documented all this for your family! And in such a cool way by writing a children's book about your dad's family, and also writing your great grandfather's life story told by your father as a young boy. They must be so grateful, not to mention future generations.

The book you're writing of the true story sounds so interesting as well.

When I was researching/documenting my family's history, I was obsessed with finding my great grandmother who died in her 20's in the 1890's and no one knew anything about her. It was so exciting every time I would find something about her, and most importantly, I was able to tell my mother before she passed.

Good luck on finishing your book.

@staceymcmd Get on your scale with something heavy - like 5 or 10#, then reweigh yourself. Maybe your scale is having a brain fart. 😁

I knew that it was all empty calories and had slowed down my weight loss. I told myself that was ok, as long as I was still losing and I still got to enjoy my wine.
Then I hurt my foot, so the exercise stopped and my weight loss stalled as I was maintaining (if not gaining) even though I was eating well; clearly, it was the empty calories. So I decided to skip the booze and OMG...It's not like I didn't know it but I just didn't take action~Both Goals met ✔✔

I thought ...no way... but I was in the store and they couldn't be wrong, right! So after logging my 130 calorie cookie, I didn't understand why MFP was coming in at such a higher (more reasonable) amount. I went to their website and yes 130 calories per serving. A serving is 1/4 of a cookie - seriously? Who eats 1/4 of a cookie? Well, I ate an entire cookie on Saturday and Sunday I have a 1/2 of a cookie. They were VERY good though. And... I fell down on my water on Sunday. Today MUST be a good day

I was part of this challenge a while back, and was glad to see it's still around (thank you @quiltingjaine! ) In June, I was diagnosed with a serious medical illness. I had surgery with great results! I stress-ate like there was no tomorrow, and didn't exercise at all. I'm back to just 6 pounds from my heaviest. I'm having a hard time getting back to my healthy ways. This forum helped me before so I'm back, not just for the accountability but because how kind and supportive everyone is to each other.

Goal this round:
Do NOT eat sugar or white flour. These are my downfall. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Start back rowing/walking/weights. Eat healthy. Drink 80oz water each day.

01/21 - Start Weight: 180.2

Round 212
01/22 - 177.9 - As I've gained weight this time, I've gotten closer and closer to the 180's and hitting 180 yesterday, I hope, jerked me awake. My plan was never to see that number again (and for that matter, I never "planned" to see any of the numbers I've seen, who does, right? ) . Anyway, yesterday was a really good day, finally! I did as I have done every day, which is eat healthy and keep my calories in check for the entire day, but all other days, I've ended up bingeing in the evening. Yesterday, I did NOT. Yay! Getting thru a day where I was in control and not my sugar-craving self was wonderful! Happy Sunday everyone, and for those who watch - football!!

01/23 - 177.2 (weighed later than my normal time) - Second day on track. Need to up the amount of water I'm drinking - only drank a little over 40oz each of the last 2 days. I rode the stationary bike yesterday for a whole 10 mins, but you have to start somewhere. I haven't exercised since my surgery in June. My exercise today is snow shoveling. I shoveled once already and another round is coming in this afternoon. We have a 600ft driveway (no, not shoveling it LOL). We have a plow but there are all the side doors, sidewalk, getting out to my workshop, etc. I could use the snow blower but sometime it's easier just to grab a shovel and it burns lots of calories!

01/24 - 178.5 - Perfectly normal to fluctuate but too many carbs/salt doesn't help. I did not have any sugar or white flour yesterday, which is great. I am very happy about that! However, I'm trying to make up for the lack of these with too many other carbs. For some reason the carb I've chosen to eat too much of is grits. I haven't really eaten grits that often since I was a kid growing up in Georgia. I know it's just my body craving the white flour and sugar. I also have been adding too much salt. Recognizing I'm doing this is the first step, now I'll adjust. More snow shoveling today. Yay!

01/25 - 178.7 -

01/26 - DNW

01/27 - 178.5 - I thought I would be up after over indulging for my 26th wedding anniversary . It may catch up with me tomorrow. That's okay. What I'm proud of is that I still had no sugar/flour. I already don't eat hardly any processed foods, so to keep sugar in my life, it takes an effort from me to literally add it or to buy something sweet. I've had nothing sweet in my house for months except sugar. I had been adding way more than I want to admit to my hot tea that I would drink all day (I'm originally from the Georgia, where sweet tea is like syrup ). That stopped 6 days ago! The first days are the hardest, and I'm so glad to be past them. I love drinking hot tea in the winter. I need to slowly learn to enjoy it without sugar.

01/28 - 179.1 - Okay, anniversary is over even though I still ate more than I should have yesterday. I look at the days up to now as a short period of time of me watching what I'm eating more than how much. Now that I'm past the ultra-craving stage of no sugar/flour, it's time I work harder on the "how much" (calories, water, exercise). I haven't hit 80oz of water yet so today is the day. I've been shoveling snow, but today I start rowing again. And lastly, I'm shooting for 1200 to 1400 calories.

01/29 - DNW - I got up around 4am. I couldn't sleep. I drank lots of water, so skipped weighing. Yesterday was a good day. 64oz of water - not 80oz, but better. Rowed 20 mins. Calories 1460. Keeping it going today! Looking forward to watching playoffs today. I'm learning to enjoy something without it having to be wrapped around food. No unhealthy snacks today.

01/30 - 179.1 - 10th day off sugar/flour - I just need to keep increasing the water, increasing the exercise, adding more vegetables, and reducing calories by keeping carbs low - it WILL drop eventually!

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

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.

1/23 - 177
Oops.

1/24 - 177.4
Ah, well, a couple of nights of relapsing snackwise will do that. DH bought a Marie Callender chocolate pie to try, and I didn’t realize how crazy many calories were in a serving until later. Yikes! Trying to straighten myself out today.

1/25 - 177.2
Better, not perfect, last night. We’re getting all-day snow, so I’m off to shovel what’s there now. Exercise!

1/26 - 176.8 💚
I did much better yesterday — no nighttime snacks. Yay!

1/27 - 178
Aww, come on. No idea. Salt maybe.

1/28 - 177.4
Does this round seem to be slipping by extra quickly, or is it just me? I just hope the rest of Jan and Feb go as quickly—the really cold weather makes it much harder to manage puppy energy, though it does help when he runs like a nut through the snow, which is up to his chin. There’s a lot of ice, though, and ice on top of snow, and I’m afraid of falling, so I don’t go out with him much— I stand on the clear part of patio and throw things. I wish I could run of calories like Booker does! Ok, have a great Saturday, and stay warm & safe if your in the freeze zone.

1/29 - 177.6
I can’t seem to stay out of the snacks this weekend. Sigh. Day by day, right? Otoh, I got out for a little walk with the pup this morning since the temp is actually above freezing (though starting to drop with a very cold week coming up). Yesterday I blocked a new wrap I knitted—last fall, when the Virginia Creeper on my fence was in its red and gold and brown glory, I wanted to wrap myself up in it. So I knitted it. 🙂 The picture doesn’t show the yarn well—it has subtle shades of gold and red and green in with the rich brown. Not exactly food related, but I can’t snack while I’m knitting!

1/30 - 177.6
Popcorn. Why? Sigh. No hugs needed—more like a kick in the pants!

Yet again I am so thankful to the brave family that donated their loved one's liver to save our little brave lion's life and the marvellous NHS. I hope that they also get a little comfort from the fact that a very important part of her still lives on in a very independent, larger than life personality of a delightful 3 year old, 2 and a half years on from their very sad loss.

Celebrations all around! On the 22nd we celebrated 2 years post transplant for our little MiracleMan! It's so good to hear your little big man is doing well and he looks so good! Happiest of birthdays with your stunning smile!! Seeing him so happy and healthy looking makes my heart beyond happy

Our donors are Angels on Earth I'm thankful for our donor as well as yours. I hope they all know how loved and appreciated they are.

@musicsax and @CamandJarvis - Happy birthday to your little one @musicsax. I can't imagine what your little ones, and both of you, and your families went thru, and so happy for you that now 2 years and 2.5 years later, you are both celebrating with your little ones. And as @CamandJarvis said, donors are truly Angels on Earth!

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!
1/23 125.5 Art Quilts, etc meeting this morning, picking up a friend for lun-ner this afternoon (Golden Corral?) Weight might jump up tomorrow.
1/24 127.0 As anticipated. Golden Corral for the first time in months. Not as good as I remembered it. 🤷‍♀️ Stayed to 25g TC limit but too much salt and not enough water and drank coffee later than usual so couldn’t get to sleep.
1/25 127.0 No TMI for a couple of days UGH Got my new Garmin and set it up yesterday afternoon. YAY! Calories, protein and fat all under; carbs over by 6 - all came from assorted low vegetables.
1/26 126.0 Good day yesterday- only 13g TC and over 5000 steps due to shopping. Today I have guild meeting an hour away and meal with a friend before repeat meeting. I’ll do my best to make that a good meal.
1/27 126.5 20g carbs - it was 15 until I ate 2 squares of Sam’s Choice Dark Chocolate-something has changed with that product. It no longer melts in my mouth. Oh well, Amy and I went to Chipotle for dinner - we each got a salad and no chips. Or as many steps as I expected. I’m so happy to have my new Garmin and that it is synced with my iOS devices!
1/28 127.0 No idea except no TMI. I have beef and Brussels sprouts with butter and my BP coffee with cream.
1/29 126.0 Great Greek today for lunch
1/30 126.5 Up at 4:30. Less of an uptick than expected and I had a glass of Chardonnay

@musicsax wow reading about your DGS sent me on an emotional ride. I am so relieved for your family. I can only imagine going through a child’s life-threatening health issues ❤️❤️

@SheilaBoneham what a gorgeous wrap!! I can’t seem to finish any knitting these days. Definitely good for keeping fingers too busy to snack though!

1/23: 121.6 - waiting for TOM to get here any minute. Have a dog walk and a treadmill run planned today. It’s chilly out there so not particularly excited about the dog walk 🥶 Happy Monday everyone!

1/24: 120.8 - still waiting for TOM. Was an utter insomniac last night but I'm trying not to focus on the lack of sleep (mind over matter?). Today I have plans for a dog walk and a Peloton ride, and chicken adobo with baby bok choy for dinner. Tonight I'm taking my dogs for a training consult with a company that uses e-collars for correction. I feel hesitant about it but also my dogs are so hard to walk and I'm tired of it. I want to improve our relationship since we're in this for the long haul.

1/25: 120.8 again. I'm fine with maintaining here for a while TBH. I have a feeling I'll have a whoosh loss if TOM ever gets here. Today I have plans for a 45-minute endurance run on the treadmill. It is really rainy outside so I doubt my poor pooches will get a walk. I don't think they love the rain much more than I do!

1/26: 119.8! There's TOM (finally - I was starting to worry when it was 3 days late! 2 babies is plenty for me) and a little whoosh. I did my 45-minute treadmill run yesterday and my legs are sore today. Think I'll take an active recovery day and try to focus on work since I got nothing done yesterday. I'll do some dog walking and/or yoga I think. I found a race to sign up for in May. It's a 10k at the New River Gorge in WV that goes rim to rim, so it's 1300 feet down and then 1300 feet up!

1/27 - 119.6. Yesterday I did a really fun Peloton walk on my Tread and some relaxed yoga. It felt so good! Today has started off weird because I decided to take my youngest in for an ear infection and a covid test (there was an exposure at his school this week and he developed a new cough). Negative for covid and we were able to get some abx for his ears. We’d been using drops but they weren’t doing the trick. Poor kiddo. Now I’m waiting at the pharmacy and will take him to daycare once I get a dose of amoxicillin in him. So I’ve essentially already burned a half day of work. Glad I had a productive day yesterday at least!! Happy Friday, everyone!

1/28 - 119.8. I definitely ate too much and didn’t make good choices yesterday. We went out for dinner and I had a huge cheeseburger. I couldn’t finish it but I had other bites of things. Glad I didn’t do any other damage. I cut off eating early because I took my pre-schooler to open gym where he does Ninja classes. Today we’re planning an all day outing to a transportation museum and rock climbing gym. I’ll have to be mindful of what I’m eating since we’ll be eating out!

1/29 - 120.4
1/30 - 119.4! This is my lowest weight in over a decade, I’m fairly certain. Calling this my round end weight/next round start weight since I’m currently en route to NJ for a business trip and won’t have access to a scale until Friday. Will be a challenging few days with lots of group activities and meals, so I will still check in here! Hoping to fast until lunches, though these meetings are so boring my hunger sometimes gets the best of me.
