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.

Tracking burnout is one of my biggest issues with long term maintenance. I know if I don't track my weight will increase - guaranteed - but tracking forever so I can actually maintain (when I get there)??? That seems too daunting. Maybe if you create a few "standard days" of meals that you know are within budget, and eat those for a few days/week until you feel like tracking again??

GOALS FOR THE NEXT 10 DAYS:
- Lose 1 pound
- Drink 8 cups of water per day
- Exercise 20 minutes per 10

2/1: Starting today at 247.8. The plan is to do a dance exercise via youtube when I get home from work. I'll update tomorrow on if I was successful at this.

2/2: I'm not going to weigh everyday, but I will weigh weekly. I did the exercise yesterday. And today I did a chair based cardio exercise which is good because I twisted my ankle. Apparently I can't walk and talk at the same time.

2/3: I did worse on the water today.

2/4: I ate fine and actually told my husband no to pizza for dinner. But I didn't exercise. I was very tired after a sleepless night with my teething baby.

@NuggetBrain congratulations on the 50 pound loss. Great work! I hoped you treated yourself somehow.

3rd Round
Age 53, 5’5”
Heaviest Weight: 345+ lbs (my highest known weight prior to gastric bypass in Aug 2005)
Weight in Aug 2006: 170 lbs
Weight in March 2022: 220 lbs
Weight beginning this Round: 150.6 lbs
Goal Weight: 145-150 lbs (TBD after consult with bariatric surgeon’s office on Feb 15th)

Thanks to @quiltingjaine for keeping these going! So very helpful!!

This week's daily goals: 5 mins affirmations before work; 10 mins meditation before bedtime. Also, continue to keep the habit of iron/supplements. Using the KISS principal this time around…

2/1 – 150.6 lbs, took iron/supplements, missed my 5 mins affirmations, and felt too sleepy to do my meditation. Oops. I didn’t do very well with ANY of the goals I set last round. However, I am going to try to be more positive and point out that in my first round I was able to “kick” ice-cream sammiches (phewf!) and over the course of two rounds I got really good at remembering to take my iron/supplements. Also, I seem to have lost 7 lbs in 20 days, so GO ME! I will focus on my accomplishments. 😊 Anyway, I think I will change it up with my goals for this round. I will just focus in on 2 things that will be good for my mental health – I have been struggling, and February is never easy for me. In the last round @quiltingjaine wisely pointed out the connection between mood and weight loss. I think this is a very important observation!
2/2 – 150.0 lbs, took iron/supplements, did not do affirmations or meditation. Hmm. I seem to be a bit lax on this, even know I am fully aware that these activities very much do support my mental health. Let me try again tomorrow. As far as weight-loss, I guess I will try to lose another 5 lbs and then see if I can maintain between 145-150 lbs. I just realized that if I can get to 145, that will be a loss of 200 lbs when compared to my weight before weight-loss surgery in 2005. YIKES. I feel like the only way to maintain my loss is to keep logging my calories every day, for the rest of my life. Also, I have been taking Saxenda for quite some time now. I feel like I will have to explore the idea of continuing to take that as long as I can, because most people experience a huge rebound gain when they discontinue. And finally, if I can maintain this weight for at least a year, I will consider the idea of having more plastic surgery, such as my arms and the circumferential body lift. I had an abdominoplasty and breast reduction in 2006 and a thigh reduction in 2007. But according to the plastic surgeon I still have about 10 lbs of excess skin to be removed. I also want a face lift, because I am very vain.
2/3 – 150.2 lbs, no iron, no supplements, no meditation or affirmations. ☹
2/4 – 150.2 lbs, took iron, took supplements, did my 5 mins of affirmations! “Every situation gives me an opportunity to learn and grow!” I used the timer on my phone. Said it out loud and wrote it in my notebook a few times. This particular phrase is helpful in thinking about my weight goals but also in thinking about making decisions about next steps regarding my job situation. Let’s hope it sinks in! Neglected to do my meditation, but feeling good that I had at least some success.

2/1 - Weight: 242 lbs, I think I did good today. I walked 4.5 miles at 3.5% incline on my treadmill. Ate mostly healthy foods and logged everything!

2/2 - Weight: 242.2 lbs, I usually do 2 days of exercise and 1 rest day. My weight tends to stall on my work out days and drop after my rest day, so I wasn't surprised by todays weight. I also worked out today, 4.8 miles at 3.5% incline. Having steak tonight! It's gonna be good >.<

2/3 - Weight: 242.2 lbs, Today was my rest day! Which was nice, but also I find rest days a little harder. Exercise + shower after kills time. Without it I can get bored and then the temptation to snack creeps in... So instead, when my daughter went down for her nap, I spent the time cleaning the kitchen instead! Time killer and when I went to make dinner, my kitchen was sparkling! So nice.

2/4 - Weight: 241.6 lbs, Today was a struggle although I think I made it through. I walked 5 miles for the first time since starting to record. I felt ravenous and snacked, but was able to keep it under my calories. And I lost a little weight. However I had a hard time. I wanted to eat! A lot. But I didn't. Hopefully tomorrow won't be as hard.

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 startsme on a downward adictive spiral. So that and any loss is my aim.. 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 to around 130. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

1/ 31 139.8 – Damn!! Why do I binge!!? I need to think before I mindlessly shovel things into my mouth!! A 2 pound gain through the round, must get control of this food addiction I have. 9.92 miles walked.

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 yesterdays rant at myself now.

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.

I should have stopped there but I added a calorie bomb dressing and crispy chicken. Still not terrible and was estimated under for the day.
Lol so we split dessert and I had a White Russian.
I’m happy with my decisions, it was a lovely evening.

/ logged all; no exercise/ Food exceeded budget yesterday, mainly because I picked up my venison salami from the locker yesterday. Had to sample it! 😊 So good, and, it is salty. I have plenty so I need to share it.

In other news I am retired as of January 1, 2023! Still planning to log a few part time hours doing admin things and being an ambassador for the firm.

(Too much information warning) And more other news, I am having a prostate removal surgery a week from today. Getting that “C-word” out of my body! I am not planning on filling you all in with ongoing fine details of the procedure or the recovery. But, I want to mention it here so you can pray that the doctor gets a good night’s sleep the night before. 😊 Thanks.

/all food logged; no exercise/ This could have been better without the mishap last night. Kind of embarrassing to talk about, but…. My food log was really good yesterday until… DW and I went to a meeting and on the way home, there was no choice but to stop and use the restroom somewhere. No choice. We went to a Taco Bell just in time. And, my rule is “don’t just stop and use a business restroom without buying something.” Bean Burrito it was.

Food was still under budget, but burrito was too salty and too late in the evening.

Sorry I made you read this.

I think “sweets” are more my downfall than “savory.” Yes, I can abuse both, but for me one “sweet” begets another. Before I know it I have eaten more than I can accurately log.

No sweets yesterday.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

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 .
Female, 51yrs, 5'5"
Goal weight...to hang out somewhere 145-150
R212 EW -181.4
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!!
2/05 - 180.6 - thought that might happen...went out to a local brewery for dinner and then a hockey game last night...so beers and a higher calorie than normal dinner. I had a light snack instead of lunch to bank some so it wouldn't his as hard as it could have. Got 35 minutes in on the eliptical. Temps have gone up so hopefully getting outside this week will help me get under 180!!

Day/Weight/Comment no food after dinner 💚 ~~ >20 min meditation 🧘🏻

2/01 - 177.6 🧘🏻
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.

2/05 - 177.8
Ok, that’s better. And the weather is better so I’m off in a bit to take the pup for a nice long sniff walk. Have a great Sunday, everyone!

47 F - Ultimate Goal weight 160

SW Round 212: 198.0 (-1.8)
SW Round 213: 198.2 (+.02)

Well last round was a bit of a bust. I ended higher than when I started but thats ok!
Goal 1 for this round: Use the "day completed" button at the end of every day to make sure I log everything.
Goal 2 for this round: start this 4 week treadmill plan (tomorrow) to do something different and get some cardio in: https://blog.myfitnesspal.com/4-week-treadmill-training-plan/

2/1 197.4 my body likes this weight apparently as I spent most of round 213 there, haha. Checked off my journal.

2/2 199.0 Had some fresh baked bread and homemade butter last night with some Guinness ale. delicious, but here's the spike! Checked off my journal.

2/3 196.6 So excited haven't seen this number in ages!

2/4 198.8 short lived due to eating dinner out. went over calories but not by a lot. Checked off my journal.

2/5 199.0 ugh weekend salty water weight. Had burger and onion rings last night, only ate half but obviously not helping the situation here. ate over maintenance again (only a little but still). Checked off my journal so that's good, today's goal to stay well under calorie goal and drink lots of water, treadmill challenge and sauna with my sister this morning too.

02/03 -197.8- (Trend weight 196.8)

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!

02/05 -195.4- (Trend weight 196.7) A good day yesterday food-wise, but an awful lot of sitting on the computer. I did get in a 30 minute stationary bike ride last night, but otherwise….Babysat DGS so there were a lot of stairs, just not a lot of steps. I’ll work on doing better today. Today will be a bit of a high sodium day as I finish up my egg drop soup from an out-of-town restaurant. I’ve pre-logged my day and am already sipping water alongside my coffee. I woke up starving with my stomach continually growling. Today will be challenging but do-able if I just stick to the prelogged plan.
0.8 lbs to get back to starting weight. Maybe……just maybe!

2/4 143.2# Below freezing temps again today, so it’s another lifting day. The house is pretty cool downstairs so I am hibernating upstairs with books and sewing.
2/5 143.4# Freezing again so I walked at the casino with my sister yesterday since it’s big and pretty open. It was packed and I’m not someone who likes parting with my money that way. We got a couple of miles in at least.

Maybe if you create a few "standard days" of meals that you know are within budget, and eat those for a few days/week until you feel like tracking again??


Jaine here-
Hmm, this is food for thought. During the pandemic our local DD&DSIL did our grocery shopping so no impulse purchases. I had to have a plan for eating because we didn’t go out to eat 3 or 4 times a week which we have slipped into. The places we go have keto friendly choices and hamburgers (no bun) are one of my favorites. Yes, I must make a plan. And I should get back to the gym!

quiltingjaine

@jspecies11 I’m in agreement about not throwing money away in a slot machine. DH took blind friend to the casino a week ago and friend won $3400! He almost always comes out ahead! DH? Not so much. At least he is one of those who think the machine will hit on the next pull!

I prefer to walk in Walmart which isn’t smoky.

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.

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!

Hi All - Robyn here from SE Virginia. I'll be doing strength workouts only for the most part during this round while continuing to recover from foot surgery. My primary goals are: 1) no after-dinner-snacking; 2) to eat dinner no later than 7:30, and; 3) to lose weight during this round. I've gained during the last two rounds (+1.4 lbs).

Female, 5’4”
HW: 300 pounds (September 2020)

Round goals: 64 oz. water and track EVERYTHING

I just saw this today, so I'll go ahead and catch up yesterday's log.

Day/Weight/Comment
2/1: 278.5 - Happy to see the 270s again. Definitely has me motivated to keep going. Struggling with cravings.
2/2: 277.4 - I have no clue how I dropped an entire pound since yesterday. I wanted to eat the world yesterday... but I managed to control it. Munched on some pretzels, but I did log them. Genuinely surprised to see this weight today.
2/3: - 277.2 - Still moving the right direction.... happy to see it. I indulged in the work-provided pizza for lunch yesterday. Then had a scoop of ice cream later in the day. MFP says I still had 500 calories to eat (after it calculated my steps), but I was curious what WW would say. 68 points!! That's like 2 days of eating, but really only about 1500 calories. WW might be out here starving people. CRAZY!
2/4: - 276.4 - good day. Stayed within my calories.
2/5: - 278.9 - yikes. I expected this though. Yesterday was date day. We hiked a new trail, had lunch, and saw Avatar in the theater. While I was within my calories, I ate lots of fried foods and buttered popcorn. It’ll come back off. Hopefully quickly. 😅

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
R213 SW: 211.8
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 ☹
2/5 – 210.0 – Going for another walk outside today even though it will be colder than yesterday. Looking forward to warmer weather. I also got a low-sodium cookbook so I’ll be experimenting with new recipes 😊

SW: 218.4
GW for round: 215ish? 214ish if possible?

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.
2/5: 217.6 - my adjusted goal this round is to stop oscillating between 217 and 218 and see about 215?

Round 212 EW: 172.0 lb (-1.2)

Round 213 SW: 172.0 lb

My goals are to not eat my children's left overs and to give myself smaller portions for dinner.

2/1: 171.3 lb
Achieved my goals for the day.

2/2: 170.4 lb
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 stuck to my calorie budget. 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!

2/5: 169.3 lb
A bit of a surprise. Ate lots of fruit and banana bread. Skipped dinner though because I was so full. I did estimate my calories and I was on budget so it's probably just the missing weight of dinner in my system.
