@CamandJarvis Would you please share your recipe for baguettes? I would love to learn to make them.
https://www.theseasonedmom.com/baguette-recipe/#recipe
This is the recipe I follow. I have a baguette tray that I got for Christmas 2 years ago: ( ** I searched a random one just to give you idea of what I have to bake with)

3/27 - 159.9 - Yesterday I was woken up at 5am by a whining puppy only to realize I had a horrible knot in my back that made it hurt to move and breathe. I let the dogs out, put on some cream, and went back to bed with the pups in the step daughter's room so as not to disturb BF. That extra sleep gave me a crick in my neck and a headache bordering a migraine. I had a really rough start and certainly didn't care to weigh in or check in here haha This morning, I still have the knot which I'm sure will impact today's bodyweight strength and C25K training but I'm going to do it anyway. Even if I have to slow it down or ease up on things, I'm getting my workout in. I woke up mid-dream again so I'm dragging and slow anyway. I was bad and ate dinner out with the family despite not being hungry. Even worse- it was fried. Ugh. I felt so awful and overly full after. And it was a later-than-usual dinner so I went to bed still feeling too full. Not pleasant. The scale definitely shows it. Hopefully that'll drop off fairly quickly, though. I did discover, though, the trail we wanted to run doesn't open until 8am. I'm not 100% sure but I think access is free for veterans or active duty but otherwise costs $6 per person. I couldn't go since BF's motorcycle blocked both my vehicles to get out and I wasn't brave enough to try to move it (I'm short and can barely reach the ground sitting on it) so I ran the road to my house, but it's good to know on the trail thing anyway.

Previous Day's Comments3/23 - Internet is down so attempting this post from my little phone. All was good yesterday. I ended up shaving off a minute from my run between Wednesday and yesterday (same intervals for both). Today is a rest day so I'm very lightly pedaling the bike as I type this out and sip my coffee as a bit of active rest. I feel the soreness! Things may be more hectic as both BF and I have big things due today as we are both off work tomorrow so we may be going elsewhere to work (and therefore away from the house and towards tempting unhealthy options). BF is harnessing up Harley for a walk so I guess I'll also be taking a walk with Smoke once it's light out. Today's goal: stick to my good habits to get through!
3/24 - Not bad for late night, last minute pizza. We went to look at our friend's travel trailer that just got back from minor repairs. He wants to do a 1-for-1 trade on a motorcycle BF wanted to get rid of anyway. Been talking about getting a travel trailer since we both work from home, we could make life a little easier by working from wherever we've traveled to (within reason). Ended up staying in town chatting longer than expected so we pulled out frozen pizza. Today BF wants to go ride once it dries up a bit (I believe the storms forecasted missed us and it just finished raining) and I've got some errands in town I can prolong to keep me outside and entertained. We agreed with the forecasted storms and the desire to try a trail in town, to forego our workouts this morning and take the dogs on the trail tomorrow. I'll likely hop on the bike with a book once I'm done here to get a little active rest since it's too wet to take the pups on a walk right now.
3/25 - Slowly but surely! I was hoping a bigger drop but wondering if dinner out last night was a bit too salty. I didn't "workout" but I walked a ton yesterday and had a huge calorie deficit from it. I parked at the park and walked all the way down one side of main street, crossed the street, and walked all the way back up, making stops where I needed to complete errands (I could've parked closer and I certainly didn't have to walk all of main street, but I decided that's my "workout"/active rest so I made it a thing). Then, after the post to ship my mom fabric for a quilt, walked around the grocery store! Whew. That isn't accounting from 3pm onward! All I know for today is that I need to make up some baguettes as our friend is smoking a pork butt and we're all hanging out. I'll probably go make up the dough once I finish posting before I work out and get sweaty. Plus, it'll rise while I'm working out and showering, meaning I'm not stuck home on a beautiful day waiting on dough! I have bodyweight and 5k training today. BF decided, since we got home at 930 and didn't get to bed until 10, he wasn't going to wake up to go to the trail. I'm debating whether I just want to run the road outside our house again or if I want to drive out to the trail by myself. He's going riding with the boys for FamHub's birthday so he won't be waiting on me anyway and I'll be waiting on dough (rise, shape, rise, bake).

@quiltingjaine Thanks for the advice! It was very timely and changed my attitude from being discouraged to inspired. You are so right that after an intense workout that 'my body is probably holding on to some water for tissue repair'. It's also a reminder to me that I should be drinking more water.6

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 breaking it down into tiny increments I will feel more motivated & remember to keep at it until I reach my goal.
💕💕 173 days 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"
Goal Weight - to hang out somewhere 145-150
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!!!!
3/27 - 173.0 - Last weigh in before vacation! We leave early tomorrow morning so I won't check in here until we get back next week. I've made catching up with everyone's progress and setting my intention for my own day part of my breakfast and coffee routine over the last couple of months, it should be easy to get back into that routine when we get back. I'm pretty proud of the changes I've made to my daily activity and nutrition. I'm not willing to give up "the good stuff" but have managed to create a balance that has allowed me to lose 15lbs so far and I see an even healthier me down the road.
SEE YOU ALL NEXT WEEK!!!

As I prepare to go for my run, I realized that with the new "week" of training (Week 3 Day 1 today) the training has upped.
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.4 -
Round 218
March 23 - April 1, 2023
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE👍👍
Stick to Plan:
Calorie cycle for a weekly average of 1200 to 1500
Exercise: Walk, Bike, exercise bands
Binge-Free & Sugar-Free for 100 days
Lots of veggies and protein, some fruit
I need to figure out a way to get more fiber, especially from grains, to help my iron level intake

3/23 153.7 - We ate a late dinner at Ihop, veggie omelette… i skipped hash browns but I should of only ate one piece of toast 😢
3/24 154.7 - The bagel late tasted so good but I should of had a piece of fruit instead 😢
3/25 155.5 - Emotions are playing a key factor of my weight gain, lately, 😢😢 I NEED TO CONCENTRATE on my heath…
3/26 153.4 - Dinner was a taco time salad plus no late night snacking 👍
3/27 151.7 - Even though I had tenders from Ecells for lunch I didn’t have dinner so it actually helped with my weight loss.

I take my morning supplements with cream in my coffee. Many vitamins and other supplements as well as BP meds. One cup with cream seems to be enough of a buffer for me.

Round 217 End Weight: 175.6
Round 218
3/23: 175.7 Row/Bike✔ Water✔ Calories Maintenance (1700). I just love the start of a new 10 days. I'm going to try my best to lose 2 pounds this round, but I will be happy with any loss. We shall see....
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!
3/27: 174.3 Row/Bike✔ Water✔ Calories✔ I've been trying to build my stamina back up and I had the best day yet yesterday - 30 mins rowing and 30 mins bike. I'm 3 weeks binge-free and sugar-free - who is this person?!!!!

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!

We will be hosting Easter Sunday in 2 weeks, and the yard is full of weeds, but I’ve got time.

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.

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?

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!

I resisted the urge to weigh in this morning. Yesterday was pretty good, although I did have some ice cream last night. Little by little. I did get in two half hour walks. All good.

3/26 - 175.2 - thin mint blizzard for our anniversary. Doing well with water today. I forgot to take my meds for binge eating - feeling ok so far that I can control it, but we will see what this evening brings. That’s my hardest time.
3/27 - 175.8 - umm, my scale is going the wrong way. I didn’t get in enough water yesterday. I also skipped the gym and spent 3 hours giving the inside of my car a good clean. My gosh! All of the dog hair in the cracks and crevices. 🤣7 -
CamandJarvis wrote: »As I prepare to go for my run, I realized that with the new "week" of training (Week 3 Day 1 today) the training has upped.
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.
My whiny butt did it. The first 1.5 was hard as there's an ever-so-slight hill once I'm out of my driveway and I didn't pace myself as well as I should've (I know better.... but I psyched myself out). It stays a fairly steady slight incline for about 1/2 mile. I was still on the incline when the first 3 minute run started, but I was prepared for it and paced myself much better. The second 1.5 minute run was on a much shorter, but steeper, hill so I was able to push to get to flat ground and continue going without too much of an issue. The final 3 minutes of running was heading home so down that ever-so-slight hill which allowed me to increase pace and really push to empty the tank. My time improved from that, too!8 -

3/23: 234.4 (-0.2), BF%=32.2 (0.0). Last night I got to snacking with some Trader Joe's frosted shredded wheat nonsense. I ate (relatively) slowly and mindfully, but I probably still overdid it. I'm almost going to stop being lazy with my posting. I'm a bit behind at work, but I'm trying to make being a part of this group a priority, at least as much as I can.
3/24: 233.6 (-0.8), BF%=32.0 (-0.2). Snacking was fine yesterday. I'm having a physical today for the first time in more than 3 years. I'm not going to freak out until I have a reason to.

I'm actually pretty happy to stay pretty close to the weight I was at the beginning of the weekend. Today I'm clearing out my garage in preparation for a contractor coming out to repair my roof. Should be some decent exercise (need to bring everything to my back patio, which is up a flight of stairs).8 -

You're very welcome! I was recently diagnosed with B.E.D. after years and years of struggling. I begged for help for years and my dr at the time was not listening. I switched doctors about 3 years ago and Feb of 2022, I finally got up the courage to tell him that I needed help. He said "Ok, then let's get you some help" I cried. I found a doctor that would finally listen! He sent me to a dr here in town that specializes in nutrition and weight loss. I participate in their "Healthy Eating & Living Program" (HELP) and after a very long first session of answering all the questions and screenings, she sat me down and told me "your brain has different pathways than those that can control their hunger - your brain has learned to give you food as a "protector" - (childhood trauma) and is now sort of hard wired that way. But it's OKAY and I will help you." I cried again!! These doctors have changed my life and for the FIRST TIME in my 45 years, I feel that I can actually sustain this way of life for the rest of my life! The Vyvanse is used for binge eating as it was not originally intended for binge eating, but ADHD (which I have ADD, so Bonus!) but they found as a "side effect" it helps greatly with controlling binges. So it has been approved to be used for it. It has literally changed my life! It is expensive if your insurance doesn't cover it. I used their coupon program last year and then switched my insurance this year. I still have little breakthroughs, but I'm not downing 2,000 calories on a binge. Now it's few and far between (I've noticed when it should be my TOM is when it's greatest) I may hit an extra 300-400 calories. But I forgive myself and move on. I was embarrassed at first and didn't want anyone to know this about me. But someone out there is "me" and I know how it feels so I decided there's no shame and I'm sharing. ps. Insurance is required to cover "nutritional counseling" and this is what my HELP program falls under. My insurance will not cover any weight loss surgery. This medicine gave me the tool that I needed to continue getting healthier.6
