    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!😷
    FEBRUARY 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

    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 213 (my 145th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.

    Goal for this round; I'm not looking at a specific number, instead I need to aim to cut out chocolate & biscuits 'cuz I can't stop at 1 or even 2, it starts me on a downward addictive spiral. So that and any loss is my aim. No binges, keep within calories & macros.
    Spoiler
    SW 138.6
    2/1 138.6 - 9.91 miles walked, a much better day & under control! 5% of exercise calories eaten back.
    2/2 138 – 11.04 miles walked, half of exercise calories eaten back.
    2/3 138.4 – childminding DGS; no structured walking.
    2/4 139.8 – don't ask!!:( 9.68 miles walked, but that was not enough to negate the massive amount of food I binged on :(. I'm such a stupid greedy pig!! Today is Saturday, it will be good to spend my walking together with DH.
    2/5 139.4 - 11.86 miles walked, & back in control, all but 197 of exercise calories eaten back. Saturday for us is pizza night together with a massive delicious crunchy salad, we also have oven roasted chips, I normally have just 100 calories worth, but last week I realised that I am not that bothered about the taste so this week didn't have any and to TBH didn't miss them. More importantly no chocolate/biscuits. Thank you for your kind words, I'm over yesterday’s rant at myself now.
    2/6 139.4 – no structured walking, DS & family came down for a roast lunch & then we all went to a wider family get together; 27 of us, all my DSs & their children & grandchildren. We try to do this a couple of times a year, not all of us manage it as to get a date that all of us can make is near impossible!!
    2/7 139.4 – 9.61 miles walked yesterday, ate back ¾ of exercise calories, but stayed in control & no chocolate/biscuits.

    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

    SW RND 213 126.5
    2/1 127.5 Sorry for the late post! Our internet went out yesterday evening. Love checking and being told there is no problem and waking up 10 hours later to “we have a service interruption.” Should be fixed by 10am. That will be at least 12 hours without service. We have become so dependent on technology that it is scary. Reading a real book now. It seems it was actually our wi-go modem that died but we got a new one and it is finally operational. YAY!!
    2/2 127.0 Started the day with my BPC and that brought on TMI. YAY! I hope this old pattern sticks around!
    2/3 127.0 Took blind friend to the casino last night. Had dinner (OMAD) at 5 - ate cheeseburger, no bun, 1 house made potato chip and 1 small potato wedge.
    2/4 128.0 60th anniversary celebration at neighbors’ last evening. Champagne, hors d’oeuvres, cup cake 🤦‍♀️ Not anywhere near my usual 90 oz of water. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ My sewing friends are going to be here this afternoon and we will imbibe a bit - plenty of healthy snacks too!
    2/5 129.0 I think that is Friday evening debauchery showing up. Today Great Greek with family. Oldest GS came up from Phoenix. Yesterday with the ladies - meat and cheese, veggies and ranch, two kinds of me made keto crackers, and fresh chicharrones. Those green chili margaritas!?! They were good.
    2/6 129.0 At least I didn’t go up again! Good time at Great Greek. Here’s my favorite picture of 2 of my favorite guys. DH and his namesake Dear Great Grandson, Bruce - called Bru.ss7957bfvsv9.jpeg

    What a wonderful photo' thanks for sharing XX

    Hi, I'm Charissa, ready to go for Round 213/4.
    I love these 10 days at a time rounds! Very doable. Better than a week as you tend to follow the same up and downs per week and it doesn't always show your progress. Also being able to refocus after 10 days is great!

    2/1 216.6 (-0.0/-0.0) My body seems to have adjusted to the lack of alcohol😞 I did have some wine last night but back on target for today and hopefully the next 10 days. Both Goals met ✔✔
    2/2 215.8 (-0.8/-0.8) After a 3 day stall, the scale is moving again and in the right direction! Today's meals are planned and should see another loss in the morning. Both Goals met ✔✔
    2/3 215.6 (-0.2/-1.0) Better than 0... Water Goal Met ✔
    2/4 216.3 (+0.7/-0.3) Expected but was hoping to not see it...The day was good and I saved my calories for crustless pizza. 2 glasses of wine showed up...I ended up over calories by 300. And now it's the weekend....
    2/5 217.8 (+1.5/+1.2) Ooops...The first mistake was not planning dinner for Saturday. At around 4pm, looked around and had nothing prepped for dinner so did a unplanned grocery run....and I was hungry....you know where this is going. All kinds of interesting things ended up in my cart!
    2/6 218.2 (+0.4/+1.6) The good news - I enjoyed my weekend. It was a lazy kinda weekend. Sunday was kind of back on track but the damage was already done. And this week kinda has "doomed" written all over it. Tuesday we go out to dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Saturday we go out to finish celebrating my husband's birthday and finally Sunday is superbowl. It will be round 214 by then... One day at a time.

    ***************************************
    1/30 158.6
    1/31 157.6

    2/1 158.0 Massive sugar cravings and low mood yesterday, which I gave in to, so I'm not surprised to see a small gain. Think it's hormones coming into play. TOTM this round so it will be interesting to see how that affects my weight and energy levels.

    2/2 157.4 Still lots of cravings, which I gave into in the form of left over Christmas biscuits, gah. Didn't eat any proper food to make up for the indulgences, that's not the way to go.

    2/3 157.4 Went to the pub last night with OH, which was unplanned, so calories ended up way over. It also didn't help that I came home and had ice cream and crisps, whoops! As a result I had a poor night's sleep so I feel like crap today, that'll learn me.

    2/4 157.8 Well, I guess this little uptick is down to bad choices on Thursday and having a lazy day yesterday. Tiredness and sugar cravings are still causing issues.

    2/5 157.2 OK that's a bit better. Still making poor choices in the evening but not eating much during the day is just about balancing things out. Not the best method nutritionally though. Went with OH for his hospital appointment, he was having an MRI scan for joint pain. We didn't realise how long these things take, so after an hours drive there, I was sat in the car waiting for 3hrs, then an hours drive back. Then i stayed on the sofa all evening because I was feeling low and unmotivated. Sun is shining today, must do better.

    2/6 157.8 Gah. This could be just water I hope. Went for a 4 mile walk and had salty soup and rice cakes. I'll be lucky if I even weigh less than the end of last round at this rate. It's Monday, a good day to strengthen my resolve. I know how important it is for me to feel comfortable in my body in order to enjoy life. I determine to not waste another beautiful year hiding away and feeling shame. I'm planning on going to the gym today for the first time in about 18 months, got my clothes all laid out and ready, I just need to find the courage.

    2/7 158.0 Well that's very discouraging. I made it to the gym and did a relatively gentle workout. 10 mins elliptical, 30 mins fast walking on treadmill and 15 mins rowing. I'm glad I went though, it helped me see how unfit I've become! Not sure why I've had a gain, I don't think it's water retention from muscle soreness because I didn't work that hard. My mfp diary shows my daily net average calories are 895 for the last week and 745 for the week before so I think I should have lost more than 1.9 pounds in that time. I guess my metabolism is just being very stubborn and I need to find ways to raise my energy output. Tricky when I feel so exhausted all the time. Glad totm finishes today and my hormones can settle for a while.
