Hi I’m Amanda from Michigan. I have no idea what this round will hold for me health wise so I am aiming to maintain or lose.

Sheesh. What the….? It must be the alcohol I drank 2 nights ago even though it fit in my calories.
Hey gurl! I see you are an early-bird, like me.
Please do not let this little spike get you down!! You are verrrry close to Onederland and I am going to harass you until you get there!!
I know exactly what you mean, though, about things fitting in my mfp calories but then still gaining!! Like what hell, right??? It happens to me all the time. I feel like I need to only eat a few of my exercise calories back, if any, because if I do, I usually see a gain. Mind you, I have been "on a diet" since 1981 so my metabolism is probably pretty messed up!! LOL
Don't be hard on yourself!! All you can do is try again today.

2/4 139.8 – don't ask!!:( 9.68 miles walked, bt\u 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.
It makes me feel so bad to see you speak to yourself so harshly. I hope you can find compassion for yourself. I am not one to talk, because I do the exact same thing to myself, and have done so for years. But when I see it in others, I feel so sad. You are not stupid, not at all, it is clear from your posts. You are human, that's it. We are not perfect, and that's okay. Okay, I'll get off my soap box.
HUGS!!!!!

GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 213
Round 213
February 1 - 10, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
My goal for round 213? To make it through these 10 days without regret. I start in Mass trying to pack and getting home and family in order. Leaving for 3 months is more like a move than a vacation. I have to go through every aspect of my life and transport those items to this other home so life there continues on normally. I then have 22 hours of car riding in two days, followed my time in MIL’s home, and then a final 4 hour drive. Then it is the unpacking and putting my life in order until I repeat the process going north in 3 months. My husband yesterday asked when will there ever be less stuff be going in the car. My reply was when we start flying instead. :P
So, exercise will not start until I make it to the Keys. But once there, my goal is to work on my exercise habits so that they are re-established and will continue when I get back to Mass in May. As for the road trip, I am planning out my meals and pretracking. I did this in 2021 when I was with you all and it worked great. Trying to decide if I will smuggle my scale in the suitcase or not, or just accept three DWI in a row. At least it would be in the middle of the round. We will find out this weekend, won’t we? :P
History:
Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, and a DGS. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Selling family home distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment
2/1 – 143.0 Last night, I was crazy hungry later in the evening. Calories had been on target for the day (I aim for 1443 – don’t remember how I set that number way back when). I decided that I was too hungry and made a thoughtful decision to add an 80 calorie parmesan snack, and a fifth of an open candy bar. Brought me up to 1591. I kind of glad that I have had some section of this process without exercise as I am getting to see little hints of where my baseline might be.
2/2 – 142.4 Yesterday was challenging. Spent the day helping my parents at assisted living. Planned on having lunch with them as they keep asking me to join them. Nope, they now skip lunch, and they had a day packed with tasks for which they needed my assistance. One was trip to fidelity to deal with account issues in person. There they have a nice coffee machine and bowl full of candy AND I was very hungry. Well I was unprepared to snap out my trays, so nothing for me…… Got home 3:30 and had some quick food and adjusted my planned dinner and added a little after dinner, to fill in those missing lunch/afternoon calories. It worked!! I’m pretracked through next Monday which is helping me a lot!
2/3 – 142.6 Just means I am where I am supposed to be.
2/4 – 142.0 road trip Amazing that I dodged stress eating last night. Yesterday was last push of packing and cleaning to leave our home for three months. We lost power late afternoon for an hour. We used the time well, but were strategizing for what we do if power does not come back. Came on just in time to cook dinner. We finish up and head for a relaxing few hours before early bedtime, for todays early rise and journey. A little after 9 pm, we realize the heat never came back on!!!! (right now it is -12 outside not including windchill – logan airport – 9 and -33 with windchill). Panic!! We cannot get it back on. Each phonecall to emergency heating services goes to voicemail………. Facebook comes to the rescue. I used facebook messenger figuring that no one would be online. In less than a minute I got a reply. Repairs were crazy last night, but they came. Heat is working, and I am loading the car as I type. I was certainly thinking about choclate last night. Pretracking and the inconveneience of Invisalign kept me in line.

2/3- 184.8
2/4- 184.6 not all drops can be dramatic whooshes.
Lately when I’ve been struggling with frustration surrounding my weight, what I just ate, my body image, etc. I’ve been creating or adding to the list in my mind.
It starts “My weight and relationship with food is the result of a lifetime of social, emotional, physical, mental, cultural, financial, political, familial, psychological, geographical factors”
I just focus on adding, remembering or changing all of the factors in this world that have an effect on my weight.
It helps me to realize it’s not all about a lack of willpower. In fact you have to be pretty willful to stare the entire history of the world in the face and say “I am working on change”

I was still surprised this morning when my weight wasn't up because I had more than the usual between-meal snacks yesterday and no work-out. Today is Polar Plunge in VA Beach. Should be fun to WATCH! It's in the upper 20s/low 30s F today.

I have a carb limit (25g) no matter where they come from, a protein goal, Fat (I’ve been having to much) is used to achieve satiety. I have my own coffee recipe which includes collagen powder, unflavored gelatin and a mixture of MCT and coconut oil per a book by Mary Newport, MD. I usually have that in the morning in my first cup of coffee. I’ve never been a breakfast person so don’t generally eat until at least 11. We try to have our main meal around 3 and then I’m done for the day. I eat eggs, cheese, bacon, meat, fish, and non starchy vegetables. I put heavy cream in my coffee, use real butter on my vegetables and for cooking. No low fat/fat free foods because fat takes longer to digest so keeps you satisfied longer. We don’t keep bread or pasta sin the house.
@quiltingjaine Thanks for the info! This is helpful. I'm with you on butter. I could never give up that! lol! I can and will start watching my carb intake. I try to stick to whole foods and rarely eat pasta but do eat whole wheat bread. Sometimes we're eating dinner as late as 8:30 p.m. because we work out after work. I'm working on starting everything earlier (shutting down from work on time, etc.). I know a solution to this would be to do workouts early in the morning, but so far I'm not willing to get up early enough to do that.6 -

Hello again friends!! Happy February!! Looking forward to another great 10 days! I'm so glad I found this again last round, I'm already finding it becoming an integral part of my morning routine to sit down and assess what happened yesterday so I can move forward good or bad. I've never been a journaller, this is as close as I get .

Day, Weight, Comment
2/01 - 181.4 - I might end up here for a few days as TOM showed up early yesterday (thank you Peri Menopause for the unpredictable cycle). Still hate the snow and cold...only let the doggo drag me out for a 20 minute walk, the windchill is wicked this week. I need to start motivating myself to do something else on top of a walk when I hate the weather...we have an elliptical and my boys have a small area with weights. I used to do some pretty intense kettle bell work outs 5 plus years ago but stopped when I messed up my shoulder, I should start that back up again as well....sigh....
2/02 - 180.8 - unexpected, felt super bloated all day yesterday. Another cold one yesterday so only a short walk but did a bunch of cleaning so I was moving a good chunk of the day.
2/03 - 180.8 - Glad I got out for good walk yesterday as a polar vortex has hit Ontario...it's flippin -25C out there today (-35 with the wind chill), even the dog won't walk in this!! Made beef stroganoff in the crock pot for dinner last night, had mine over a pile of roasted cauliflower instead of noodles, it was delicious!!
2/04 - 180.0 - Was really hoping to get below 180 this round...looks totally do-able!! Put in 25minutes on the elliptical yesterday because stupid weather, could have done more but I forgot my water bottle upstairs. Didn't get out of the house at all yesterday, it was treacherous, roads closed all over the place around here. DS(17) had some friends over and one of them loves to bake, I managed to leave alone the cookies and red velvet cupcakes he brought, not sure how but I did it...YAY ME!!

I have "tracking burn-out". I think it's because I've been doing this for months and months and not seeing the weight go/stay significantly down. Anybody have advice? I think I'm going to take a break from tracking my food for a couple weeks.6

Day/Weight/Comment"
2/1: 165.2 Tested positive for Covid last night. Not expecting too much movement in the next few days, but my fridge is ready for easy to grab veggie most options so I think I will be okay with diet. I realize I am not missing booze as much as I was in the beginning of this, I don't even really think about unwinding with a glass of wine or beer most days anymore. I still think of it some days, but must less frequently. The weird thing Is I don't feel much different without it. I thought I would feel more hydrated and energized and I don't. Then again, I am sick so there is that. I need to make sure I keep up with my water. I have a routine when I am working--12 oz on my way to work, 24 oz during work, 12 oz on my way home, 24 oz from coming home to bed time. Being home messes up my routine and water also makes me cold, which isn't desirable when I have the chills. But I will do my best.
2/2: 165.4 I ended up being a few oz sort of water and I had a cocktail after dinner. I had a some nervous energy due to some upcoming life changes that is both joyful and overwhelming at the same time. Listing the to do list and the time line had feeling a bit anxious and so I poured myself a small drink.
2/3: 162.8 My covid symptoms are much better, but the breathing and coughing still lingers. I think I might have to sit out at least one more day of movement, but I will see how I feel later today. I am actually shocked by my weight. I don't think it is lingering this low at this point, most of my eating happened before 4 pm and I wasn't hungry for dinner so it might be mostly just an empty stomach and low water weigh in. I got a new tape measure yesterday so I will probably take measurements today.
2/4: 164.0 A bit too much Friday indulging last night. Feeling it today. I am appreciating my dry days more now that I am feeling the day after effects of a not dry night last night. And it really wasn't even worth it. Just a hanging around watching movies with my partner night. Booze wasn't needed but it was there so I had some.

Almost made it through with no snack, but…. It’s 7F this morning, so no long walks for me! Stay warm if you’re in the frigid zone!
2/02 - 177.4
I’m surprised, as I overindulged yesterday. Probably catch me tomorrow!
2/03 - 178
Yep, there it is. And it’s ok. This cold weather (14F right now) brings out my inner black bear—I want to eat and sleep! I’ve been doing lots of short training sessions with 12-week-old Booker (he thinks we’re playing) to direct his energy, and I got this cute pic yesterday. I wonder what he’s thinking about!
2/04 - 179
Yikes. But not a surprise or mystery. I baked cookies for DH, ate 4. Ate a (small) bowl of ice cream because I really wanted chocolate. I started out beating myself up this morning, but have decided to give myself a little grace with the very frigid weather. It always makes me crave fat and carbs. The temp is supposed to start rising today and be in the high 30s & 40s tomorrow onward, so I’ll get more exercise, which helps stem the recreational eating. I sometimes think I should just stop obsessing and tracking and simply eat when I’m really hungry. I think about food all the time, because I’m always planning my meals, then thinking, oh, I still have 17 calories available, and then eat 400. Anyone else feel like “dieting” — because however we frame it, that’s what we’re doing when we count calories, carbs, other macros, sugar, whatever — makes you more focused on food and more inclined to use food for emotional support and “something to do”? Or maybe it’s just me. I am a bit of a weirdo. 😁 Anyway, I’m looking forward to better weather and more outdoor time. And to getting rid of these few pounds I’ve re-accumulated so I get lose a few more.

01/31 …..194.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/01 -194.6- (Trend weight 196.7)
02/02 -196.6- (Trend weight 196.7)
02/03 -197.8- (Trend weight 196.8) It’s all catching up to the scale, including the Chinese food. DD the foodie came last night and will be here until Saturday night or Sunday (not sure yet). I’ve got to stay diligent. I couldn’t finish the Chinese yesterday as I find myself eating less most of the time. I will finish it today for lunch but push extra water again. Tonight I plan on possibly trying the palm heart linguini I bought with some low carb sauce for dinner. I hope it is good and don’t gag me. I have such aversions to so many foods. I read (in my research) that they are good so we shall see. Gosh, the scale went up over 3 pounds in 48 hours. But don’t let that fool ya! January was a good month for me and February will also be good. Excellence, diligence, strength, resolve and dedication will all be on my plate!
02/04 -196.4- (Trend weight 196.8)I fasted yesterday until 2:00 pm which made me miss a meal. I also worked more in my bedroom with the clothing organizing. I cleaned out another drawer (the t-shirt drawer) and also worked on replacing more hangers with the wire-top velvet hangers. They are thinner which helps me fit more in the closet. Also, no more clothing falling off the white plastic ones to the floor. Clothes stick like glue on them. Love it! That, along with my routine exercise machines helped me burn extra calories for the day. I’ll be working more in the bedroom today but I really need to make the food choices even better and as healthy as I can handle. I see an endocrinologist for the 1st time on Feb 15th where I will try to convince them to keep me off insulin and allow me to let my diet lower my blood glucose levels along with the help of my current pill-form diabetes medicines. I plan on asking them to give me 3 months (until the next A1C blood test) to prove that I can improve with a proper lower carb diabetic diet. So I better start eating one, or more specifically, STICK TO eating one!

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!

2/04 - DNW - I was rushing for a puppy that really had to go outside ASAP so I skipped weighing. Probably good for my mental state as I indulged in a little wine last night and that never helps the scale in the morning. Today is an alcohol free day, though. Back to help Fam move the remainder of their stuff into the new house and help get things ready for a garage sale tomorrow. Should be plenty of movement today, will just have to be careful of my food choices. Hope you're all having a good weekend. Will try to check in tomorrow as well, time permitting. Also hoping for a weigh in tomorrow to see where I stand so I can adjust and not have a huge weekend gain.

Previous Day's Comments2/01 - I'm happy with that tiny little drop. I cut it really close on calories yesterday and was honestly worried I'd be up again. Today will be another day which staying in calories will bring a challenge. I've already eaten breakfast since dinner was suuuuuper early and I was beginning to feel nauseous. Yoga this morning, just 15 minute easy morning wakeup practice. Will need to really pay attention to my watch's reminders to get up and move. And then move extra today. Not only to keep warm, but to give myself a little wiggle room in calorie department. Will see if BF wants to make chicken noodle or chicken and dumplings tonight for something cozy.
2/02 - Well, if I keep losing 0.1 at a time, I'll barely miss my goal of 161.x but I'll be a pound lighter than last round's end weight which isn't a bad thing nor would I be upset. Big splurge dinner of chicken and dumplings served in homemade bread bowls. I'm super proud of yet another bread-baking related accomplishment (why must it be on my "only eat sometimes" list again? I love baking it). No clue lunch, as usual or dinner except that I'm in charge, eek. The pup woke me up with his coyote-sounding yawn and was doing a peepee dance at 4am so I'm up an hour earlier than my alarm. In a bit I'm going to start my bodyweight workout and, because of the early start, I can have a small break before the cardio sprinter portion, yippee. I'm not sure how I feel other than I AM looking forward to this being over haha
2/03 - I wasn't expecting that woosh at all! I made homemade beef and cabbage pan fried wontons last night. They weren't that great, but I think part of that is because it was ground beef. I had pork, but unfortunately it went bad before I could make it. Plus seasonings were off and not enough. I have leftover filling and wonton wrappers for lunch today. Got my workout in despite not wanting to get up at all. Woke up mid-dream and that always messes with me. Then BigBro's car wouldn't start, my car was frozen over entirely, and so I had to take him to school. Good thing because in spots where water pools, it was all icy. I almost couldn't make it up the hill home because the water pooled at the bottom left water tracks up the hill which froze. Thankfully I had 4WD and some umph to get me far enough up to get in the grass and get traction. Late start to work and to everything else. Setting up my grocery pickup to be about the same time I pick up BigBro from school so I can knock two things out in one trip since today is grocery day anyway.

2/1 208 Yesterday was a tough day. DH has been referred to get a liver transplant. His health is rapidly declining. Any prayers sent our way would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
2/2 207.2 Thanks for all the notes. Yesterday was a very tiring and stressful day. Doing a lot of physical things for DH. Today we are at the hospital, he had 10 L of fluid pulled off. He is felling and breathing a lot better, 22 lbs lost in about 45 minutes.
2/3 207.6 That’s ok. I indulged last night on some salty snacks. DH is feeling and moving better today. Finally was able to get him out to get a haircut this morning. Walked around the Dollar Tree which was next door for a bit of exercise. He’s done for the day but at least it’s something.

2/1 - DNW (travel & debauchery)
2/2 - DNW (same)
2/3 - 123.6 - First I have to confess my sins. I went from 119.4 lb on Monday to 123.6 lb today! Gah. I was out of control for my whole trip, essentially. The drinks were flowing and there was food everywhere. I had late night snacks every night thanks to my lowered inhibitions and having no responsibilities other than sitting in meetings. Phew. I know a lot of this is water but there is probably more than a pound of legit gain I need to get rid of. My goals for the rest of the round are to fast a minimum of 16 hours each day and to move my body for at least 30 minutes each day. Kicking things off with a longer fast today. Planning to make it to dinner time without eating. No need for hugs. I know what I did and what I need to do!
2/4 - 122.0. I did OMAD yesterday plus a 15-minute Peloton ride and 30-minute run. Going to take some discipline to get the travel weight off! I did a 45-minute Peloton ride this morning and have been tracking my food so far today. We’re attending a birthday party this afternoon but I plan to just have a couple bites of my kid’s cake 😇

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

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 though.5 -
2/4 139.8 – don't ask!!:( 9.68 miles walked, bt\u 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.
It makes me feel so bad to see you speak to yourself so harshly. I hope you can find compassion for yourself. I am not one to talk, because I do the exact same thing to myself, and have done so for years. But when I see it in others, I feel so sad. You are not stupid, not at all, it is clear from your posts. You are human, that's it. We are not perfect, and that's okay. Okay, I'll get off my soap box.
HUGS!!!!!
Thank you, you're very kind. I've got over it now and I'm having a better day today, more in control and being kinder to my body!7 -
Here’s how I look at it-Whatever a person eats is his DIET. Caveman had limited choices so ate what he could kill or find by foraging. That was his DIET. He probably wasn’t looking for weight loss. This is why I say LCHF or whatever anyone chooses, isn’t a DIET but a chosen WOE. It has worked well for me and I do TRY to stick to this Way Of Eating.
When people go ON a diet to lose and then go OFF when they hit goal and go back to the old eating way, they regain and don’t understand why. We need to find what works for us and stick with it. That means remaining in touch with what works for you.5 -

Hi all! Starting back with these challenges. I’m a Mom of 2, in my 40s, and just diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Trying to make some healthy changes.
OSW: 215.5

GW: 165
2/1 – 210.5 – Looks like I shed a lot of water weight yesterday. The new thyroid meds and low-sodium diet have been helping me regulate my water levels. Thyroid patients tend to retain a lot of water. Today is elliptical day for exercise.
2/2 – 210.6 – I thought I would see a large jump back up in weight because that seems to be the trend for me, but not today. I’m just shy of the first 5lb milestone from where I started. Today is yoga day.
2/3 – 211.2 – I had some pizza yesterday. It was within my calories, but higher in sodium, so some water retention seems normal. I’ll try not to do that too often, but the low-sodium diet is important for my health. Friday = Elliptical day!
2/4 – 210.5 – I exercised yesterday even though I didn’t feel like it, and I felt better after. Since it’s Saturday I try to get outside for a 2 mile walk if the weather is nice. Today, the weather is reasonable. Getting outside in the fresh air is a treat during the winter! I was grocery shopping today and I discovered… shopping for low-sodium is HARD ☹

SW: 218.4
GW for round: 212 (seems low but it's because I will likely lose some water weight)
2/1: 218.4 - had food with quite a bit of sodium today despite being in a calorie deficit so hopefully the scale doesn't go up tomorrow morning, but even if it does I am determined to do well this round!
2/2: 217.2 - i'm glad this went down, even though I had a bunch of cheezits and salty soup last night haha. I am going to keep drinking lots of water today and I know I am eating out for lunch so I will try to make healthy choices.
2/3: 218.4 - not sure why this shot up, upwards fluctuations are always a bit annoying
2/4: 218.0 - in the right direction. going to try to make this go down again tomorrow. I've been doing core workouts for the past couple of days and it feels good to actually do something I always 'think' about doing but tended nto to actually do.

@RockinRobyn672 I get tracking fatigue after a while of being meticulous about my tracking. I actually started MFP in 2013 and after 1 year or so realised being ultra accurate was bringing out the OCD in me. While not ideal I tend to track the high calorie foods which I have a pretty good idea about now but I lower my calorie budget to compensate. It works for me at the moment. If my trend weight goes up, I track more carefully but I relax when I am losing. I have found it reduces my tracking fatigue. I also hope it will help me wean from tracking when I reach goal? On the other hand a break is a good idea. You could try sicking to a pattern of eating you are familiar with? That might give you time to recover and then get back in to it. I am sorry I don't have any great advice for you. Hugs for you.RockinRobyn672 wrote: »I have "tracking burn-out". I think it's because I've been doing this for months and months and not seeing the weight go/stay significantly down. Anybody have advice? I think I'm going to take a break from tracking my food for a couple weeks.

Achieved my goals for the day.

Not sure why the sudden bigger drops in weight. It is unusual for me but I have just finished TOM. I expect my weight will level or it bounce up in the next few days. I have discovered dried apricots are relatively low calorie and I am enjoying having a few with my cup of tea. I always feel I need something with my tea so the apricots work well.
2/3: 170.0 lb
I was very inactive but stuck to my calorie budget.
2/4: 170.0 lb
It was pizza night again but I stayed on track. I really need to exercise. Tantalizing-ly close to the 160s but I suspect my scales will play with me for a while before letting me get there!
