3/23: 131.8 - A quick binge the night before is not the best way to start this round.
3/24: 131.4 - Still succumbed to some evening snacking, but it was at least within calories.
3/25: 132.1 - No workouts yesterday and did not really track evening eating.
3/26: 133.4 - This round is really going off the rails. 6 days to turn this around.
3/27: 132.9 - Focus, focus, focus. Eating wasn’t entirely great, but better than the last few days.
3/28: 133.4 - ugh

3/23 169.6
This morning I played pickleball for 3 hours with my friends and had a fantastic time burning calories without even trying. I had a huge, delicious salad for lunch and then my day got out of control and at 9pm I was begging my husband to bring me some food to where we were visiting. He brought a little bit of peanut noodles and peppers, and a tiny bit of potato salad. So I ended up being way too far under my calories for the day, but wasn't hungry when I went to bed.
3/24 168.2
It's been a hectic day and I got no dedicated exercise, just steps from errands and life. I did great with water and food. Had a yummy turkey sandwich for lunch, a banana and protein shake for snack, and dinner was roasted sweet and russet potatoes, chicken apple sausage with onions, spinach and chickpeas, and mango and grapes. I feel satisfied. My family will be at my daughters' dance competition all day tomorrow so food is likely to be a struggle (takeout and snacks), stress level will be high, and no real exercise will happen. But lots of steps. We shall see!
3/25 No weigh in today as we left super early for dance competition. Spent 16 hours there and traveling. No dedicated exercise but lots of steps. We ordered sandwiches for lunch and mine came loaded with mayo on white bread even though I ordered wheat with no mayo. Ate it anyway, felt sick. Had pizza for dinner. Not the most balanced, but it was fine. Stayed under calories and missed my veggies.
3/26 166.6 Apparently the weird food choices yesterday didn't do too much damage. Got back on track today with a protein shake and awesome salad, but got nauseous halfway through the salad because I took my vitamin before eating it. Now I feel both queasy and hungry. About to head to a family dinner. It's always hard to track at these things. Not stressed though, I can do it. Any suggestions for a women's multivitamin that won't make me feel sick?
3/27 167.6 Family dinner last night was french bread pizza, garlic rolls, and chocolate chip cookies. I stayed within calories, but still feeling it today. Got up early and spent the morning at the gym. Back on track with food and water too.
3/28 166.8 Ate great yesterday but was super hungry, probably from the morning workout. I snacked a bit after dinner. Popcorn at first and then recognized it was real hunger, so I mixed greek yogurt and PB2 and thinned with a little almond milk. Tasted like melting peanut butter ice cream, and gave me a protein boost. Still felt hungry but knew I had eaten plenty and slept fine. Pretty much starving right now because I haven't been home all day and was unprepared.

This challenge will end just as I start a planned diet break in April. I am actually nervous about it. Will I go completely of the rails? Will I be able to stick to maintenance? Will I be able to get back in to it after it is over? I will find out soon!
For these challenges I think I do better if I only have a few goals. So this round I will still keep to the basics: calorie counting and at least 22 active minutes per day.
3/23: 162.7 lbs
I had a hungry day and ate close to maintenance. I was also very inactive step wise although I did reach 22 active minutes on the elliptical but didn't do my usual walk. I am glued to my desk all day. I usually only get up twice: once for a cup of tea and once for lunch and a toilet break. I really should drink more water to force me to get up more often but I feel self conscious getting up a lot. Everybody is glued to their desks where I work.
3/24: 163.8 lbs
The kids made cookies and I ate too many. So stupidly I thought I would just count the cookies for dinner to stay within my calorie limit. Well obviously things went very wrong! Why in that moment I didn't say "well I will just eat the dinner I had planned" I don't know. Actually I do know. I think the big sugar hit caused me to overeat later when my blood sugars tanked. I will just chalk it up to experience and move on.
3/25: 164.0 lbs
I ate too much at dinner and didn't reach my active minutes goal. I will have to look at my inspiration slide show to help give me some motivation back.
3/26: 163.6 lbs
I achieved my goals for the day.
3/27: 162.9 lbs
I achieved my goals for the day. TOM arrived too and I usually get a bit of a whoosh after it starts (but not always).
3/28: 163.8 lbs
Hungry day for me so I ate at maintenance. Exercised and achieved my active minutes goal.

@shmmm3 If you are going plant based for a while, consider taking a Vit B 12 supplement. I suggest you read about it rather than take my advice of course.2

@jspecies11 Thank you for the recommendation. I started taking a multivitamin to be safe since I do not know what I'm doing yet. I appreciate any and all advice about plant-based eating. Have you been doing it for awhile?2

Didn’t make my weight goal last time, but made all the other goals. Hoping I can manage all the goals this time around.

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.

SW RND 218 127.5
3/23 127.0 Mulligan’s Pub for early lunch, taco salad stripped of most carbs at 11.
3/24 127.0 Told DH that eating OMAD at 4:30 or 5 wasn’t working for me. During COVID we ate around 3 or 4 but with him playing cards again (Tripoley, poker, pinochle and occasionally bridge) eating at 5, 5:30, or later isn’t working for me. No cards today.
3/25 126.5 Great Greek today.
3/26 127.0 Hardly drank any water yesterday. Need to be more mindful of that.
3/27 127.0 Eating late today at visiting neighbors. I don’t wish to sound ungrateful but I DO wish they would stop bringing us bags of groceries we don’t eat!
3/28 127.5 made keto berry clafoutis to take to neighbor’s for dessert. She made ham and turkey I avoided most carbs but ate later in the day than I like. Can’t believe I finally got through all of the posts. I seem to have had a busy day today but don’t know why. I’m going to bed. ❤️you all!5 -
64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 218 (my 149th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine you are a star!
Goal for this round; again I'm not looking at a specific number, any loss and keep my binge free streak going – it is helping me keep mindful when I’m tempted! Keep within calories & macros. I can do this but, consistency is paramount, let’s do it again for just 10 days as the reward is great!!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 lifestyle has to be a permanent way of life.

3/23 137.8 – 12.69 miles walked yesterday, just less than 50% exercise calories eaten back.
3/24 137.38 – no structured walking hence ate at maintenance.
100-day Binge-free Challenge starting February 25….=1 day.
⭐️⭐️=27 days ****
3/25 141 – oops oops oopsie, fell off the wagon big time, just don’t ask!!! Leaving yesterday’s chocohorror behind, trying to move on & make a new start today. Shame I broke my binge free streak, but !! A week to try to get back to start of round weight. 8.13 miles walked yesterday.
3/26 139.8 – That’s a start! A perfect day yesterday, I pre-logged in the morning and stuck to it. 14.48 miles walked. Noticed that me last binge was 4 weeks ago, I know I am well post menopause, but wondering if my hormones still keep going on it’s cycle, could this possibly be the cause of that heinous binge? I’m going to keep this in mind for the future.
3/27 139.8 – no structured walking during day meeting up with family, hence no structured walking, but so lovely to see all DGC interacting and playing together.
3/28 139.8 – 10.97 miles walked. I am struggling at the moment, but still ate under maintenance. Today I celebrate one of my sister’s birthdays with afternoon tea, but I shall make that my lunch rather than have in additional.
3/29 139.8 – 9.91 miles walked. So many cakes yesterday! I ate my sandwiches, 2 cakes and scone with jam & cream, lashings of coffee. I took the other cakes & sausage rolls home for DH. I love afternoon teas but think that smaller bite sized cakes & less of them is more of an elegant sufficiency.
100-day Binge-free Challenge starting March 24….=1 day.

3/23 216.1 Waaaaaaaa my son is gone! It was a great 2 week visit. Now I have April to concentrate and refocus before heading to Canada for a visit with Momma and family. Daddy died May 12th last year and I want to be with Momma during this time. She is quite active for her 80 years and I hope to be able to keep up with her. She has never driven (daddy took her everywhere) so she now walks wherever she needs to be. She will keep me focused! Didn't make my 12000 steps but think I removed all sodium in tears. Sigh.
3/24 216.1 Losing my stride. Sodium levels back up with my food choices. Steps down with energy levels due to lack of sleep. This cough and congestion is taking its toll. Today I will concentrate on eating and not worry about activity. Today I take note of changes for inspiration.
Easier to get out of tub
Fitbit watch on 2 less closure holes
Less winded vacuuming
Forgot jammies visiting MILs and didn't panic when she offered a pair
I have got protien under control
Wedding and engagement rings moved to middle finger
Tummy not butting up against kitchen sink as much
I have so much more to discover!
3/25 216.1 (I even kicked the scale to see if it was stuck) Two days far below calories. Zero exercise points yesterday. Far too few steps. This all adds up to migraine. Today my steps will be slow around the lake at husband's meeting. Then Sam's Club then home to bed. Medicated girl is not a healthy girl. Taking one more migraine day before pressing on with exercise and calories.
3/26 215.6 It's beach day! Still can't believe I can hop in the car and spend a day at the beach on a whim. I was able to reach my step goal yesterday and again today walking and frolicking in the waves. I packed a lunch and ate it all but my protien shake. I added it to dinner. I changed my goal to lose 2 pounds a week to lower my calories. I wasn't losing 1.5 a week on other goal so I am trying this to make me feel better getting close to calories I need. Not sure it will work but 1200 seems more achievable then 1580 right now. Once I can sustain 1200 I will raise it again. Crosses fingers this works
3/27 215.6 Got all 3 rebounder sessions in. Average 15 mins per. Not a great food day but good calorie total. Needed no migraine meds today.
3/28 215.2 Not sleeping well. Lingering cough and twitchy legs. I encountered a snake at my front door yesterday. I think I burned 50 calories hyper ventilating! It is spring and they are visible now. Only 3rd one I have seen at my house in 5 years but ugh. Made Mahi for the first time ever yesterday and I will make it again. NUM! Tonight is meatloaf and salad. Not a big fan of meatloaf but husband is. Happy husband happy......? Meh sometimes it's not all about me lol. Tomorrow is weigh in Wednesday. I will be mindful as I tend to self sabotage with less exercise and more sodium.
3/29 214.8 Yep. Less exercise. In fact no exercise. Lazy day with tele and bed. PMS is rearing its ugly head. Snapping at husband and hiding. Plus I am having cravings that I can't figure out. Do I want pineapple upside down cake or poutine? My body will let me know. Today I have a Skype date with Momma to make homemade pea soup together. She recently joined the instapot band wagon and still needs some instruction. I got this momma. Not doing morning rebounder but hope to do afternoon and evening5 -
Good morning!
I have set a weight loss goal of .35 per day. My niece is getting married on September 16 & I would like to be happy to look at pictures of myself in her wedding pictures. I know that life happens & 52 year old, heading to menopausal bodies, do not always cooperate. If I have not reached my daily goal 2 days in a row, I will fast until I reach the goal to keep me on track.
This is the first time that I have set daily goals but I hope that by breaking them down into tiny increments I will feel more motivated & remember to keep at it. I have tried everything to lose weight, played all the games, and joined all the challenges. I am not affected by the scale. I have weighed myself & logged it on a spreadsheet since 2017. The scale is just a tool for me & does not affect my mood. I know that my weight does not change who I am, it is just a number. I want to lose weight so that I can move easier & continue to do the things that I enjoy.
💕💕171 days until the wedding. 💕💕

3/29 goal 230.8/actual 230 ✅ I didn’t fast the entire day & I didn’t go to the gym. I dropped my Starbucks water cup on my toe, which caused it to swell & bruise, so I decided to not put shoes on. I will weight lift before yoga this morning. I ended up eating supper because I wanted to. I had lots of other excuses but that is the real one. Fasting is hard & I am not quite ready. I need to eat low carb for a bit so that it is easier. The scale is a bonus, I did not expect it to drop much since I really only skipped lunch. I will eat mindfully today to keep the loss.

She brought 10 oranges, dates, figs, and calamansi - all loaded with sugar as well as crackers, pretzels and cookies! I much preferred when she brought eggs and peanut butter! The bag of food is going to our daughter’s school to be placed in the teachers’ lounge.
Goodness! Very happy you have found a way to pay it forward.3 -

Warmup (I skip as I warmed up with bodyweight workout) 1.5 min run, 1.5 min walk, 3 min run, 3 min walk, 1.5 min run, 1.5 min walk, 3 min run, 5 min cooldown.
THREE MINUTES?!?!?! I was struggling with 1.5! I'm really dreading this already but I best get going so I don't miss my work call in a short bit. Ugh. No dogs as BF isn't awake to take one and I can't take both while running.
@CamandJarvis I did C25K a few years ago and found the schedule I was using (and others I looked at) progressed much to quickly for me. So I often repeated weeks or made my own in-between weeks. I also read a lot about half- and full marathon training, and one of well known marathon coaches (I think Hal Higden or something like that) encouraged the continuing use of intervals regardless of distance and experience. I came to love my “wuns” —and I had never liked running before — and I’m sure it was because I didn’t push too hard. I eventually ran several 5Ks, a 10k, and a half marathon using walk 1 minute, run 2-3 minutes, depending on how it was going. My times weren’t lightning fast, but I was in the top half of the pack for my age group, so respectable. All of which is to say don’t feel bound to someone else’s training schedule. Give your body and mind time to adjust to what YOU need.
Another thing I found REALLY helpful—I got an inexpensive interval timer that clipped on. There are probably apps, too, but I like the little dedicated gadget. It beeps when you’re due to change speeds so you don’t have to keep looking at your phone or watch. I also found the running easier when I didn’t know how many seconds I had left!
I’m planning to start “wunning” again, probably in late April. I’m building walking time and distance right now.
Anyway, good luck! It does get to be fun!
I also did the C25K a couple of years ago, it was during late 2020/1 I think? Definitely during Covid. A fellow poster in this challenge (sorry I can't remember who it was - my memory is not as good as it was - I put it down to age !!) said that she was going to do it and anyone was welcome to join her virtually. Rashly (cuz I hate running) I said I would, slept on it, realised that I had opened my mouth without thinking and decided I would tell her that I had changed my mind. Well, before I posted that change of heart I read her next day post saying how pleased she was I was doing it too and that we would be support for each other, how could I let her down then? So I started it; if you use the actual free App whilst doing each days work out, it tells you how long to walk for a warm up, how long each interval of walks and runs/jogs are and then talks you through the cool down. There were several days/weeks that I had to repeat because they were too hard/too much of a jump in running duration. But I did complete the 5K at the end, I was elated, but I still hated running, so once I'd achieved that 5K I stopped running!!
If that person who I was virtually running with is still in the group, I do not mean to offend you, it was truly an achievement for me, but also not one I wish to repeat lol!!
Scratched of your bucket list lol. I feel the same about planks. I tried it. I hated it. I stopped. Maybe one day I will revisit.2 -
Didn’t make my weight goal last time, but made all the other goals. Hoping I can manage all the goals this time around.
