@girlontherebound ~ what's lazy homemade dressing?
Lol! You need new friends. "Bad Decision Maker" sounds ominous. I have seen "tomorrow is another day" and "I got your back" lurking around. I will send them your way!
Lazy dressing is 1 tbsp mayo, 1 tsp brown sugar and 1 oz of lemon juice. Mix it in the bowl and add my 2.5 cups of bagged coleslaw and voila! 3-4 oz of Protein of your choice. I am not a fan of bottled dressings. Artificial sweeteners are not on my plan. (They sneak in as I am still finding sucrolose as I re read labels). TADA...lazy dressing4 -

3/03--235.0 Went to pilates this morning. Going out for dinner tonight with hubby, so expect weight to be up tomorrow.
3/04--236.1 Had a great dinner last night at a Tapas restaurant. Today I went to gym and did some lifting, ran around and did some errands, and then relaxed for most of the day. Out for a hike tomorrow and lunch afterwards.

Hi @musicsax. Yes, my husband is doing well. A couple of months ago he got more serious about losing weight, so he's been more focused on eating healthy which has been more helpful for me. He's also more focused on increasing his daily steps such that our dog has been going out on a lot more daily walks, which the dog absolutely loves.6 -

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 216 (my 147th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.
Goal for this round; again I'm not looking at a specific number, any loss and keeping clear of binges, keep within calories & macros. I can do this but, consistency is paramount, lets do it just for 10 days!!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 taken 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.

3/3 139.2 - no structured walking – child minding little DGS, hence calories 127 calories over; a total of1506 consumed, but made good choices.
3/4. 138.6 - very busy day yesterday, managed to walk 7.13 miles between working working a few hours morning and also afternoon (exam. invigilating), food shopping & them coming away in our brand new caravan. Had quite a few teething problems when we arrived on site, which meant tea was very late and we ended up grabbing cheese and biscuits instead of the healthy planned bbq & salad
but didn't let that be an excuse to then totally go off the rails. Healthy stuff will now be tonight's meal!!
3/5 138.2 - not sure how reliable this number is as first time round it recorded 134 which I know is definitely wrong!!!! 13.12 miles walked in the beautiful Delamere Forest, 80% of exercise calories eaten back including a couple of adult beverages to celebrate our new caravan (delayed by 1 night due to those teething problems Friday night!).

A tsp of brown sugar seems a lot, do you need it? Could you halve it or even omit it?1 -
Hi @musicsax. Yes, my husband is doing well. A couple of months ago he got more serious about losing weight, so he's been more focused on eating healthy which has been more helpful for me. He's also more focused on increasing his daily steps such that our dog has been going out on a lot more daily walks, which the dog absolutely loves.
That's good to hear, tell him I miss his posts, used to enjoy reading them .2 -

Until ALL of the men in my DH family decided they would nerd bond over building a model airplane with our 10 year old nephew. In my kitchen.
I left for the library, which took longer than expected. Moving the gang to the local was the best plan by the time I got home, where I at a huge dinner with lots of delicious fried things, oops.
In the greater picture of life the day will be remembered as laughing with family and friends not the day I ate onion rings.7 -

3/3 – 148.4 lbs – Well, I am really pleased with my progress! I was looking back and I started these challenges on January 13, 2023 and I have lost 9.2 lbs since that time! Thanks @quiltingjaine! Considering the time of year (poor mental health + bad weather usually = annual weight gain, for me), and the fact that I am pretty close to my goal weight, this is wonderful! I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I am TWO HUNDRED POUNDS LESS THAN I WAS IN 2005. Like wth? That is so bizarre. So bizarre. I mean it has been a roller coaster of losing and gaining since gastric bypass, for sure, but still. And now I have a glimmer of hope of being able to maintain this weight (145-150 lbs) by just continuing to log my calories, and walking every single day. I mean, it’s a pretty simple formula. It’s not rocket science. LOL! Anyhow, honestly, if I can lose 0.8 lbs by the end of this challenge, that would mean I have lost 10 lbs in 2 months, and that is more than okay by me! 😊 You will see that I have set A LOT of goals for this round. What I did was look back over the last 5 rounds and put together every single goal I have attempted since January 13th. (I left out a goal I had originally set about calming down on ice-cream sammiches, as I have completely stopped eating those.) Some goals I have been very successful at, some I didn’t achieve even once. So, I thought that for this round I’d try to go all in and challenge myself! The only new goal I’ve added is getting to the gym. I have reinstated my gym membership and I want to get back into the habit going 2-3 times per week. Anyhow, in the spirit of the success I have had over the last few days by posting this up in the morning and then feeling like I need to live up to all the “happy faces” I’ve projected for the day ahead, I am going to give myself all happy faces above and then do my absolute best to stay the course. Let’s go people! Let’s do this!! 😊
3/4 - 149.2 lbs – First of all: HAHAHA at myself for being so raring to go yesterday morning and then finding myself eating McDonald’s chicken nuggies and fries by the end of the day!! Like what the heck!! Where did my motivation go??? I only got 4/10 happy faces yesterday, AND I ate over 2500 calories!! Sheesh! Well, I guess you win some, you lose some. Let me try to do better today. However, I am a bit concerned because we are in the middle of another frickin’ blizzard and I am not even sure how I am going to take my dog out for pee-breaks, let alone walk him (and he is used to 1-2 hours of walking per day – pray for my sanity). It’s treacherous out there and I can see it is white-out conditions and I can hear the wind howling. So… this is going to be an interesting diet/exercise day. I don’t think am going to hit my 14K steps goal today. Wish me luck. Today is supposed to be a gym/strength training day according my schedule. I haven’t been there since before I rescued Goliath on January 2nd. This is going to HURT. Luckily my gym is just about a block away so I can walk over, if I can trudge through the snow on the sidewalks. I could use the weather as a reason to skip it, but I had planned to go today and I am really looking forward to starting up again. Because I had gastric-bypass, I am at high-risk of developing osteoporosis, so in addition to taking my supplements I am also supposed to be doing regular weight-bearing exercise to try to keep up my bone density. So it’s important to build this into my weekly schedule and stick with it. Oh, and you will see that my weight is up today. I am very close to going over the upper-level of my goal range. This is VERY motivating. I do NOT want to creep up. I need to nip this in the bud. With all your support, I know I can do it. 😊 I put in my pre-planned “happy faces” above and now I am going to post this so you all can hold me accountable! HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!
3/5 – 148.8 lbs – Well, yesterday was a decent day – 5/10 happy faces - and I am glad the scale is down a smidge. I did go over my calories yesterday by 330 cals, but I also walked almost 26K steps so I am not too worried about that. What I am worried about is the fact that I invited my sister, her daughter and daughter’s fiancé over for lunch today, and I said I’d order Chinese food. Now I am worried about the calories in Chinese food and wondering if I should a) just eat my Jenny Craig food while they eat Chinese food or b) try to cook us all something healthy. I am not much of a cook but I recently purchased a Ninja 13-in-one which is pretty easy to use. I’ll keep thinking about that and let you know how it goes. I mean, I know “treats” are okay sometimes, but on the other hand, I can enjoy their company and feed them healthy food instead of salty, greasy, (delicious) Chinese food which will result in a bump up on the scale tomorrow. I still haven’t been to the gym and I am actually motivated to go right now, which I think I will do, even though I feel weird about it because I have walked my dog every day at this time since I brought him home from the shelter. I feel bad leaving him behind. Also, I usually enjoy my walks with him around 4-5 AM as he is dog-reactive and we don’t run into many other dogs at this time, so it is our best walk of the day. So if I gym now and walk him later, being a Sunday morning, we will definitely run into other dogs, which is inevitable but also markedly less fun. Anyway, I am not going to pre-log my happy faces this morning, as I have no idea how the day is going to go. Obviously, I am a little indecisive this morning. LOL. Wish me luck.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Newbie Female who turns 43 this Friday the 10th of March. Had a surprise Covid baby at 41 years old and gained 75lb! After being told by several doctors I would never carry a baby to full term. On top of that weight gain, I had already broken my lower back…so baby really made it hard for me to even walk. After getting every single cold from baby and then shingles in my eye over Christmas, I am ready to be healthy again. I plan an initial GW of 152 by June 1. I know that’s a lot—but it’s doable!

3/3 216.9 (-0.0/-0.0) and holding after 5 days of downtrend. I am good with that! We were supposed to get 8 to 10 inches of snow in the next 24 hours. I was ready to be shut in....now it seems we might get a dusting! WOW!
3/4 DNW (-0.0/-0.0) I was good all day until the snack fairy arrived along with her friend Bad Decision Maker....lots of salt and not enough water, the scale would NOT be friendly - so I'm not going to look at it!

@girlontherebound ~ what's lazy homemade dressing?
Lol! You need new friends. "Bad Decision Maker" sounds ominous. I have seen "tomorrow is another day" and "I got your back" lurking around. I will send them your way!
Lazy dressing is 1 tbsp mayo, 1 tsp brown sugar and 1 oz of lemon juice. Mix it in the bowl and add my 2.5 cups of bagged coleslaw and voila! 3-4 oz of Protein of your choice. I am not a fan of bottled dressings. Artificial sweeteners are not on my plan. (They sneak in as I am still finding sucrolose as I re read labels). TADA...lazy dressing
A tsp of brown sugar seems a lot, do you need it? Could you halve it or even omit it?
You can do all the above and even add more if you like. We all have different tastes and likes and we are all learning what does and doesn't work for our bodies.5
