Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 218

Hi all!
I am jumping in today. It has been a while since I have been active here. I set some new goals today & I was really happy that this group was still going & that there were some familiar names.
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 her wedding pictures. I know that life happens & bodies do not always cooperate so if I have not reached my daily goal 2 days in a row I will fast until I reach the goal. This is the first time I have set daily goals but I hope that breaking it down into tiny increments I will feel less overwhelmed & more motivated.

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.

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.

Hello, I am a little late but would like to join! My current goal is to lose about 10lb from my starting weight which would put me at 189. I’m hoping if I set small goals and stay consistent I can make some progress

It hasn’t made any difference in my BP. He then put me on amlodipine (Norvasc) which I am taking without any side effects AND my BP is down. The med asst had told me wrist BP Cuffs are inaccurate so I got an arm one. Took my BP with each - 10 minutes rest between,
@quiltingjaine Glad to see such good numbers for you! I had not heard that the wrist machine is inaccurate. I will take mine with me when I go on Monday and see what the Cardiologist and nurses think of the one I'm using. Somewhere around here I have an arm one that I used on my hubby before he passed away. I haven't seen it since I moved to this new house. I may have to look for it.2 -

3/24 – 143.8 lbs – Well, looks like I didn’t have much to say yesterday! I haven’t been doing very well in terms of eating the past two days. Figures, after I wrote about “not bingeing” in my last entry in the last round! The day after I wrote about that I started feeling an extreme hunger, especially for carbs!! I seem compelled to keep eating, all day long! I am not “bingeing” per se, but close to it, if that makes sense to anyone else on here who has binge eating disorder. I think (hope) that I am just premenstrual… Work has been super busy but I am feeling really good about the work I’ve been able to crank out over the last two weeks. I haven’t missed any days out of the last 10 working days (since I recovered from gastro) and I was able to provide my boss with documentation from my doctor proving that I am under her care etc. with regards to all the absences I had over the past few months (depression). I have had a bit of positive feedback from my boss, and I think the only reason she hasn’t been able to provide more constructive feedback is that she is swamped (and I feel for her). So anyway, hopefully I can finish the week off strong, today! I have 1.5 days vacation booked next week, which I am looking forward to. On Tuesday it is hubby’s 41st birthday (yes, he is 12 years younger – all my cougars in the house!!) and we have a few fun things planned. We are going to get mani-pedis, we are going to take the dog to a “sniff spot” to play (which btw, if you are a dog owner, I really recommend this app!! You can “rent” out places for an hour or two to let your dog play off-leash, which is amazing for owners of reactive dogs!), then we are meeting my niece and her fiancé for dinner. I also want to buy him a gift but I have no idea what to get him. He will be buying a new “trucking specific” GPS, but that is really a work thing, not a birthday present. If anyone has any suggestions for gifts for a super-hot 41-year-old guy, holla. 😉 Okay, uh, why am I going on about this, in a weight-loss related forum? I am 100% not sure. LOL. I guess I have a lot on my mind and I think when that happens, I tend to lose focus on my eating/exercise, which I bet some folks on here can relate to. It’s almost as if I have to be obsessive in my thinking in order to keep it front of mind to achieve any success. I bought another week’s worth of Jenny Craig yesterday. I am finding it helpful to have around, just because I have zero interest in cooking, this past while, so this allows for some sort of “nutrition”, and I use the word loosely. Lol. Better than living off of cheese strings and Diet Pepsi! So when I went on their website to order my Jenny food, it asked me to state a goal weight. So… I put in 135 lbs. Like a crazy maniac. LOL!! I am not sure what possessed me to put that in there!! But it is less than 10 lbs away, so… potentially achievable?? If I can stop eating the whole damn house… I will try to dial it in a bit today. I have recently bumped my step goal up to 15K/day, which I was doing good with last week but haven’t achieved in the last two days. I work from home today so I should be able to get those steps in. And I really need to get some fluids in – the last few days have been terrible (as in, all I drank was a coffee in the morning… that’s it…). Wish me luck. And if you have read this far, thanks for listening.
3/25 – 141.8 lbs – OMG! OMG! OMG! I can’t believe it. How is this even possible? How? How is my body doing this? Maybe I’m terminally ill? I have no concept of my weight being this low! I mean I know it will bounce back up and I will need to be okay with that and just be patient. But still!! Here I am!! Yesterday I did not meet my calories or fluids goal, but I came darn close (1599/1500 cals and 7/8 cups fluids). I also walked 29,943 steps, however, which I am super proud of. So I guess that is how my weight is down today. Now, to keep it down. Lol. That is the hard part, for me!! Btw, if anyone is asking me for “tips” the best advice I can give is to stop setting goals about losing a specific amount of weight in a specific time-frame. I know it seems counter intuitive, but for me, it has been very freeing. Instead of constantly being disappointed that my body isn’t doing what I am demanding it to do, I instead have given up that careful “math” and instead just weigh myself every day and consider it “data ONLY to monitor trends over time”. I try to not get upset if the weight goes up. Instead I just think “it will go down eventually”. So yes, the weight loss is a lot slower than I would like! IE, I would prefer that every day I step on the scale it would be lower! LIKE COME ON BODY!! LOL. Instead, I just see things like “Oh, I am down 1 lb since 16 days ago, yay me!” It is completely the opposite of what I have been doing since I started dieting when I was 11 (and my mother put me on caffeine pills and my hair started falling out... we didn't play, in the 80s!!)…. For my entire life I have been pressuring myself to lose faster and faster! And I was always so annoyed/depressed/impatient when my body didn’t do what I wanted it to! I find that this way, if I attach less pressure to my weight, and I just force myself to be more patient, eventually, over time, it does trend downwards. It just takes longer than I have always expected, and I have learned to be okay with that. And I am a lot less crazy about it. LOL. I dunno, does that even make sense? Isn’t it just CICO? Aren’t we supposed to set SMART goals? I have no idea. All I know is that I have learned to accept that weight loss is just not as fast (for me!) as I have always thought it should be. And I have stopped labelling myself "a failure" when the number on the scale doesn't do what I wish it would. On July 30th of last year, I was 182 lbs. So it has taken me 8 months to lose 40-ish pounds. I think most people would be totally annoyed by how slow that has been. But shockingly, I am not! I am happy with that progress!! 😊 And that is my tip of the day! LOL! Have a great day, everyone!!
3/26 – 142.2 lbs – Yup, there is the bounce-back that I mentioned that I should expect, yesterday. I am TRYING not to let it bother me, but on some level it does. I do feel a bit like a failure because yesterday my calories topped out at 2574… and I only had 4 cups of fluid. ☹ According to MFP I was still “under” because of the 22K steps I did, but I know the exercise burn is inflated. So, I’m annoyed with myself. I’m trying to take my own advice, though, and not get mad at my body for not doing what I want it to. I started scrolling through my weights over the years in my MFP progress chart, and I remembered that in 2017 I was 241.8 lbs. So to cheer myself up I am changing my starting weight to 241.8 lbs in all my apps. Lol. Also, if I want to get into the Way Back Time Machine, I was 345 lbs when I was weighed before weight-loss surgery in 2005 (and I am sure my weight went even higher that that, but I was not weighing myself in those days). So… if I think of it in those terms… I am pretty successful and my body kicks butt. Honestly, when I think of it in those terms, how can I feel “annoyed with myself” and like “a failure”? The truth is that I have been doing the best I can, all these years. I absolutely have been doing the best I could with the skills that I had. And bingeing eating was a coping skill that I developed very early on after being sexually abused by an older babysitter from 3-6 years old and physically assaulted in my home on a regular basis from 10-18 years old and emotionally abused all my life by both parents in addition to having my mother hate me from the day I was born (which she made sure to tell me on the regular: “I wish you were never born”, “You’re so lazy the only job you will ever be able to have will be a prostitute”, etc.). When you consider all of that, it is actually a wonder that I am even STILL HERE, let alone dealing with disordered eating behaviours (as well as a personality disorder, an anxiety disorder, PTSD and substance abuse disorder). My body has gotten me through all of that. My body has helped me survive everything. Even with that abysmal start in life, I have somehow gotten myself though university, worked in non-profits helping adults improve their literacy skills for 20+ years, secured a great government job working on the provincial adult literacy file, developed a beautiful relationship with an absolute angel of a man (my knight in shining armour), made myself a lovely home in a spacious 15th floor apartment with a view of beautiful Lake Ontario… and here I am complaining that I ate too much yesterday (which is likely because of hormones due to my stupid TOM taking forever to show up). I really need to check myself. I really, really do. So, I am gonna instead say: My body is strong enough to walk for several hours a day, with no problem; my body lets me jog for a couple of minutes at a time; my body lets me lift weights in the gym; my brain is super creative and helps me problem-solve; and my heart is HUGE, and even though I have been hurt in very terrible ways, I still have the ability to love so much (animals, friends, my sister, my niece, my husband, and my students I helped all through my non-profit days). I have a lot to be grateful for. So I am going to try to focus on that today – being thankful for what I have and what I have been able to achieve in life, thus far, and being thankful for having the opportunity to keep going, and keep learning and working on improving my skills. I mean, I’m still here, aren’t I? That is enough. I AM ENOUGH. And so are you.

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 life style has to be a permanent way of life.3/22 137.8 – 11.53 miles walked, 1/3 exercise calories eaten back. A gain of 1.2 pounds which is disappointing, I have been supper hungry this round, but I have been binge free for the whole 10 days again, which is a brill. NSV for me. I’ll just keep marching on!!

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.

3/23 – 144.2 lbs -
3/24 – 143.8 lbs – Well, looks like I didn’t have much to say yesterday! I haven’t been doing very well in terms of eating the past two days. Figures, after I wrote about “not bingeing” in my last entry in the last round! The day after I wrote about that I started feeling an extreme hunger, especially for carbs!! I seem compelled to keep eating, all day long! I am not “bingeing” per se, but close to it, if that makes sense to anyone else on here who has binge eating disorder. I think (hope) that I am just premenstrual… Work has been super busy but I am feeling really good about the work I’ve been able to crank out over the last two weeks. I haven’t missed any days out of the last 10 working days (since I recovered from gastro) and I was able to provide my boss with documentation from my doctor proving that I am under her care etc. with regards to all the absences I had over the past few months (depression). I have had a bit of positive feedback from my boss, and I think the only reason she hasn’t been able to provide more constructive feedback is that she is swamped (and I feel for her). So anyway, hopefully I can finish the week off strong, today! I have 1.5 days vacation booked next week, which I am looking forward to. On Tuesday it is hubby’s 41st birthday (yes, he is 12 years younger – all my cougars in the house!!) and we have a few fun things planned. We are going to get mani-pedis, we are going to take the dog to a “sniff spot” to play (which btw, if you are a dog owner, I really recommend this app!! You can “rent” out places for an hour or two to let your dog play off-leash, which is amazing for owners of reactive dogs!), then we are meeting my niece and her fiancé for dinner. I also want to buy him a gift but I have no idea what to get him. He will be buying a new “trucking specific” GPS, but that is really a work thing, not a birthday present. If anyone has any suggestions for gifts for a super-hot 41-year-old guy, holla. 😉 Okay, uh, why am I going on about this, in a weight-loss related forum? I am 100% not sure. LOL. I guess I have a lot on my mind and I think when that happens, I tend to lose focus on my eating/exercise, which I bet some folks on here can relate to. It’s almost as if I have to be obsessive in my thinking in order to keep it front of mind to achieve any success. I bought another week’s worth of Jenny Craig yesterday. I am finding it helpful to have around, just because I have zero interest in cooking, this past while, so this allows for some sort of “nutrition”, and I use the word loosely. Lol. Better than living off of cheese strings and Diet Pepsi! So when I went on their website to order my Jenny food, it asked me to state a goal weight. So… I put in 135 lbs. Like a crazy maniac. LOL!! I am not sure what possessed me to put that in there!! But it is less than 10 lbs away, so… potentially achievable?? If I can stop eating the whole damn house… I will try to dial it in a bit today. I have recently bumped my step goal up to 15K/day, which I was doing good with last week but haven’t achieved in the last two days. I work from home today so I should be able to get those steps in. And I really need to get some fluids in – the last few days have been terrible (as in, all I drank was a coffee in the morning… that’s it…). Wish me luck. And if you have read this far, thanks for listening.
3/25 – 141.8 lbs – OMG! OMG! OMG! I can’t believe it. How is this even possible? How? How is my body doing this? Maybe I’m terminally ill? I have no concept of my weight being this low! I mean I know it will bounce back up and I will need to be okay with that and just be patient. But still!! Here I am!! Yesterday I did not meet my calories or fluids goal, but I came darn close (1599/1500 cals and 7/8 cups fluids). I also walked 29,943 steps, however, which I am super proud of. So I guess that is how my weight is down today. Now, to keep it down. Lol. That is the hard part, for me!! Btw, if anyone is asking me for “tips” the best advice I can give is to stop setting goals about losing a specific amount of weight in a specific time-frame. I know it seems counter intuitive, but for me, it has been very freeing. Instead of constantly being disappointed that my body isn’t doing what I am demanding it to do, I instead have given up that careful “math” and instead just weigh myself every day and consider it “data ONLY to monitor trends over time”. I try to not get upset if the weight goes up. Instead I just think “it will go down eventually”. So yes, the weight loss is a lot slower than I would like! IE, I would prefer that every day I step on the scale it would be lower! LIKE COME ON BODY!! LOL. Instead, I just see things like “Oh, I am down 1 lb since 16 days ago, yay me!” It is completely the opposite of what I have been doing since I started dieting when I was 11 (and my mother put me on caffeine pills and my hair started falling out... we didn't play, in the 80s!!)…. For my entire life I have been pressuring myself to lose faster and faster! And I was always so annoyed/depressed/impatient when my body didn’t do what I wanted it to! I find that this way, if I attach less pressure to my weight, and I just force myself to be more patient, eventually, over time, it does trend downwards. It just takes longer than I have always expected, and I have learned to be okay with that. And I am a lot less crazy about it. LOL. I dunno, does that even make sense? Isn’t it just CICO? Aren’t we supposed to set SMART goals? I have no idea. All I know is that I have learned to accept that weight loss is just not as fast (for me!) as I have always thought it should be. And I have stopped labelling myself "a failure" when the number on the scale doesn't do what I wish it would. On July 30th of last year, I was 182 lbs. So it has taken me 8 months to lose 40-ish pounds. I think most people would be totally annoyed by how slow that has been. But shockingly, I am not! I am happy with that progress!! 😊 And that is my tip of the day! LOL! Have a great day, everyone!!
3/26 – 142.2 lbs – Yup, there is the bounce-back that I mentioned that I should expect, yesterday. I am TRYING not to let it bother me, but on some level it does. I do feel a bit like a failure because yesterday my calories topped out at 2574… and I only had 4 cups of fluid. ☹ According to MFP I was still “under” because of the 22K steps I did, but I know the exercise burn is inflated. So, I’m annoyed with myself. I’m trying to take my own advice, though, and not get mad at my body for not doing what I want it to. I started scrolling through my weights over the years in my MFP progress chart, and I remembered that in 2017 I was 241.8 lbs. So to cheer myself up I am changing my starting weight to 241.8 lbs in all my apps. Lol. Also, if I want to get into the Way Back Time Machine, I was 345 lbs when I was weighed before weight-loss surgery in 2005 (and I am sure my weight went even higher that that, but I was not weighing myself in those days). So… if I think of it in those terms… I am pretty successful and my body kicks butt. Honestly, when I think of it in those terms, how can I feel “annoyed with myself” and like “a failure”? The truth is that I have been doing the best I can, all these years. I absolutely have been doing the best I could with the skills that I had. And bingeing eating was a coping skill that I developed very early on after being sexually abused by an older babysitter from 3-6 years old and physically assaulted in my home on a regular basis from 10-18 years old and emotionally abused all my life by both parents in addition to having my mother hate me from the day I was born (which she made sure to tell me on the regular: “I wish you were never born”, “You’re so lazy the only job you will ever be able to have will be a prostitute”, etc.). When you consider all of that, it is actually a wonder that I am even STILL HERE, let alone dealing with disordered eating behaviours (as well as a personality disorder, an anxiety disorder, PTSD and substance abuse disorder). My body has gotten me through all of that. My body has helped me survive everything. Even with that abysmal start in life, I have somehow gotten myself though university, worked in non-profits helping adults improve their literacy skills for 20+ years, secured a great government job working on the provincial adult literacy file, developed a beautiful relationship with an absolute angel of a man (my knight in shining armour), made myself a lovely home in a spacious 15th floor apartment with a view of beautiful Lake Ontario… and here I am complaining that I ate too much yesterday (which is likely because of hormones due to my stupid TOM taking forever to show up). I really need to check myself. I really, really do. So, I am gonna instead say: My body is strong enough to walk for several hours a day, with no problem; my body lets me jog for a couple of minutes at a time; my body lets me lift weights in the gym; my brain is super creative and helps me problem-solve; and my heart is HUGE, and even though I have been hurt in very terrible ways, I still have the ability to love so much (animals, friends, my sister, my niece, my husband, and my students I helped all through my non-profit days). I have a lot to be grateful for. So I am going to try to focus on that today – being thankful for what I have and what I have been able to achieve in life, thus far, and being thankful for having the opportunity to keep going, and keep learning and working on improving my skills. I mean, I’m still here, aren’t I? That is enough. I AM ENOUGH. And so are you.

I have the biggest cringe at the life you have had and want to reach out and give you the biggest hug, no-one deserves what you have been through. You are an amazing human being and you are so right in counting all your blessings, well done for that and probably a lot of us are also doing that too after reading that extremely unacceptably hard start in life that you had. You are doing amazing my friend, you are amazing in fact. Hugs again to you !3 -

So, I am gonna instead say: My body is strong enough to walk for several hours a day, with no problem; my body lets me jog for a couple of minutes at a time; my body lets me lift weights in the gym; my brain is super creative and helps me problem-solve; and my heart is HUGE, and even though I have been hurt in very terrible ways, I still have the ability to love so much (animals, friends, my sister, my niece, my husband, and my students I helped all through my non-profit days). I have a lot to be grateful for. So I am going to try to focus on that today – being thankful for what I have and what I have been able to achieve in life, thus far, and being thankful for having the opportunity to keep going, and keep learning and working on improving my skills. I mean, I’m still here, aren’t I? That is enough. I AM ENOUGH. And so are you.

You are who you are. You are not who you were. Sometimes we think losing weight will fix all our troubles but you have been fixing you all along this journey. Strengthening your mind as well as your body has been courageous. We all have our stories and I thank you for sharing yours. I hope it has helped you refocus and cherish who you are. I am here and watching for your 5 minutes jogging post lol!4 -
Hi all!
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.
This is the first time that I have set daily goals but I hope that breaking it down into tiny increments I will feel more motivated. 174 day until the wedding.

Well...here we are again! This will only be a half round for me, we leave for Mexico on the 28th and return on the 3rd...I'll join in R219 when I get back. Just want to keep consistent for the next few days and maybe get one more lb off.
51yrs - Female - 5'5"

R217 EW 3/22 - 173.2
3/23 - 172.2 - another nice little drop after 2 weeks of plateau around 175. Got all my summer clothes out and organized for our trip...quite a few of my tops are too big...all the bottoms that I was squeezing into now fit again...amazing what 15lbs can do! Icky rainy weather again today, will get the dog out for a walk...and might do some repetitive bending/squatting in the backyard when the rain lets up to start the spring doody clean up now the snow is disappearing.
3/24 - 172.0 - good day yesterday! Sun is out today so we will try to hit the trails...not sure what kind of shape they will be in with the rain and warmish temps the last few days...might be a bit janky with frozen compacted snow but I will bring my boot spikes....and try not to fall 4 days before vacation (did that once years ago and had a hand sized bruise on my hip/butt...not cute in a bathing suit!!
3/25 - 172.8 - BLOATED...combination of TOM and sodium from dinner out last night. I went shopping in the trunk at the end of my bed yesterday....pulled out the small 12s and large 10s in jeans I had stashed away in there to replace the 14s that I'm constantly pulling up. There are some 8s and a few 6s in there I'm hoping I'll be able to get into again eventually. There's a layer of freezing rain on the windows...and it's crazy windy...we'll see if the dog convinces me to venture outdoors today.
3/26 - 173.2 - Still feeling bloaty, and ate late and more than I should have at hubby's season end dinner for one of the hills he patrols at. Lots of water today and a hike with the dog should help for tomorrow...only 2 days until we head to Mexico!!!!

Sun 3/26: 146.8 - It was a beautiful day yesterday and I made it 30 miles on my road bike, which included a lot of short sprints (my surgery foot held up pretty well!). I loosely tracked food yesterday. I was hungrier because of the workout. My Garmin says I burned a gazillion calories, but alas! I still gained weight and usually do after a long bike ride. I made mostly good food choices, except for the four delicious hush puppies that DH had ordered as an appetizer for dinner, and then a handful of roasted peanuts later after dinner.

The blasted wagon threw me right off last night. Emotional eating snack binge. But I’m climbing back on and am going to try to hang on for the rest of the round.
3/24 - 180
That’s Wed. evening on the scale. Yesterday was better, not perfect. Sometimes I really think that all the tracking and thinking about food and macros and calories all the time makes me more snack-prone because, yep, I’m thinking about food all the time—what I ate, what I should eat, what I will eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, what I shouldn’t eat,… I know the research says tracking = weight loss, but I’ve been doing it faithfully for years now, lost a lot, then regained some despite tracking, am maintaining at higher than I like while tracking faithfully. It’s almost as if knowing my intake lets me give myself permission to eat because, hey, I’ll be over goal but still under maintenance, or just a smidge over…. I don’t know, just thinking through the keyboard.
3/25 - 💐
I’ve decided to slowly let go of some of the tracking to see if obsessing less about numbers and thinking less about food might help me eat less. I’ll continue to check in daily, but weigh in only at the end of each round. Letting go of the scale will be hard —I’ve tried before and was unsuccessful. So I’m dropping out of the 100-day challenge, removing my weight tracker, and removing my numbered weight goals. I’ll focus on other goals—walking, dog-training, writing, garden….—and see what happens. (I do sometimes think I should—a concept I would like to lose but what’s an alternate word? — drop all goals for a while, but after a lifetime of goals goals goals, I don’t know if that’s possible!) Anyway, I love this group, and appreciate the support for each of us doing what we need to do.

I accidentally weighed myself this morning—habits, right? — and it wasn’t pretty, but I’m not recording it. I did “oversnack” last night, but today is a new day. I’m planning to take the pup out for some energy reduction this morning, and then this afternoon take myself for a long walk all alone. Wishing you all a great Sunday!

03/22 …..188.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
03/23 -188.4- (Trend weight 190.0)
03/24 -188.0- (Trend weight 189.8)
03/25 -187.2- (Trend weight 189.5) Snow storm today. 8 – 10” expected and it looks like the numbers are right on target. On the weight front: I’m so glad to see a drop and also a downward trend weight after the binge on the night of the 23rd. Back on track! In regards to health, I ended up calling my cardiologist (on the advice of the aforementioned “principal”) because of the drop again in my bp. They agreed for me to stay off the one bp med (Lisinopril) through the weekend. Doctor was not in for the day. They wanted me to record bp’s several times a day on Fri, Sat and Sun then stop in at the Heart Failure Clinic (love the name!) and let Cardiologist see them on Monday when I am back in the town where they are located (same town as my Rehab I go to on Mondays). They will then further advise. Possibly a different medication or stay off the one I stopped? I dunno. Of course, I am hoping that my weight loss (21 lbs down since my high weight last June) is affecting my medication doses for the positive. Is it possible that I’m not actually getting sicker but instead, getting HEALTHIER? It’s possible……. Wait until you hear about my glucose numbers these past few weeks. More on that tomorrow……
03/26 -187.8- (Trend weight 189.3) Go figure! It was another very good day food-wise. Got in a bit of exercise but otherwise not a lot of activity as I still continue to baby my blood pressure so maybe that explains the uptick? Anyway….I travel today to my DGS’s 4th birthday in another town. I usually don’t log when the food (and dessert) is out of my control or too complicated (even though logging is NEVER a bad idea). I do plan to enjoy the day. I’ve actually saved a few calories and carbs back over these past few days to help offset the damage at least a little. In regards to my glucose numbers (since last seeing the idiot dietician). My morning fasting numbers (usually the lowest of the day before food) was running 300-525. Those are EMERGENCY ROOM numbers for many but my body got very used to it and I actually didn’t even feel that bad. Since ignoring my dietician by counting my calories AND my carbs, incorporating some Intermittent fasting (against her advice) and doing what I know works FOR ME, my morning glucose readings are now 130-165. I think I could get them even lower if I tried because I have been eating sugar-free jello almost every night with sugar-free cool whip but they contain artificial sugars (which are not Natural sugar-free sugars) so they spike my glucose. I recently found on the Walmart website that they sell a keto friendly whipped topping that is made with monk fruit so I will start buying that when I’m out of town. I also found on Amazon that the vitamin company Swanson sells a sugar-free jello made with Erythitol (spelled wrong) and Stevia, both of which do not spike the glucose. It is double the price of Jello brand (it’s about @2.50 per small 4 serv box I think), but it will help my glucose numbers so I’m ordering a bunch. What I can’t yet give up is my nightly piece of Russell Stovers sugar-free dark chocolate candy which uses an artificial sweetener. I’m just not there yet. But progress is progress, right? I did learn to really enjoy the 90% dark cacao chocolate when I was on Keto. It was the Sam’s club brand but I haven’t been able to find it at Walmart lately so it’s just been me and Russell.

3/24: 174.9 Row/Bike✔ Water✔ Calories✔ I am happy to see a drop this morning. I optimistically crossed off the 175's from my first-goal tracking above. Right when things are starting to click is when I lose it many times. One thing that's helping, and hopefully will make this time different, is calorie cycling (average 1200 to 1500 calories) which I think fools my body from thinking I'm starving, but also allowing myself (AND tracking it) to eat at or a little below maintenance on those days where I feel a binge coming on. I'm slowly losing that all-or-nothing mentality of thinking every day has to be what I perceive as perfect or I failed. Patience, Patience, Patience - some of you who have made it to the promised land of your goal weight, and have maintained it, say this a lot. I appreciate you sharing your experiences so much. I think the more I stick to my plan and start seeing positive results more often, the more patience I will have. I just have to get to that point before giving up! I feel this is the time I will do it - now that I said that, I'm ready to prove it to myself!
3/25: DNW I wanted to enjoy the 174's and give it a day before I weighed again. Row/Bike✔ Water✔ Calories✔ NSV: I am seeing a noticeable change in my skin. I've had horrible eczema for 4 years, including on my face which is really hard to get rid of. My skin, everywhere, not just my face, is so much more clearer and softer. I've been drinking water religiously and have been off sugar and dairy for a while now. And I don't eat processed food. The main change of late is I've upped my exercise quite a bit, specifically rowing. I think it's all the above, but I guess my circulation/blood flow was pretty bad after not exercising for months after my surgery. The other NSV is I can't believe how much my stamina is increasing when it comes to my rowing. I'm just thrilled to see these results from replacing bad habits with good ones!
3/26: 174.7 Row/Bike✔ Water✔ Calories✔ Even thought I know it's normal to bounce around a little after a drop, I'm glad I chose not to see it yesterday. I think it kept me more motivated. Today, I not only didn't have to see the bump up, I'm now a little less than I was 2 days ago. Yay!

4/01 I'm going to try my best to lose 2 pounds this round, but I will be happy with any loss. We shall see....
Bingeing is why I'm where I am now. I want to see the results with 100 days of no bingeing. I'm not talking about going over calories from overeating a little, I'm talking full-out bingeing. And that's not just on bad foods, even when I'm eating well, I'll binge. This will be extremely challenging but if I stick to it (and stay off sugar and simple carbs to stop cravings), there is no way I'm not going to see consistent weight loss during these 100 days (not to mention the health benefits)! Part of this challenge, too, is if I do have a slip, that I don't revert back to old habits of bingeing for days/weeks/months. I will acknowledge the slip, celebrate that it didn't derail me, and just keep on keeping on.
I want to see what happens when I don't give up!

@deepwoodslady Remember to check ingredients if things say they are Keto friendly.” Taco Bell has a “keto approved” something that is in/on a flour tortilla. No grain is keto. That was one of the first things I eliminated. That “Keto Approved” is a trademark someone bought.🤷♀️🤦♀️3

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

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.5
