64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 219 (my 150th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine you are a star!
Starting this round at the same weight as last. Goal for this round; I really need to continue to reverse this increasing trend, again I'm not looking at a specific number, any loss and keep my binge free streak going, keep that April Fool’s dunce’s hat in the corner! – be mindful when I’m tempted! Keep within calories & macros. I can do this but, consistency is paramount, let’s do it 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. A healthy lifestyle has to be a permanent way of life.

4/1 140.4 - I treated yesterday as a reset day; thought hard about what food I would be eating during the day, pre-logged it all, stuck rigidly to it & really pushed the water. So, this round has seen me being an April Fool; 2.6 pounds gained ughh! But, I’m pushing that Fool’s hat off and making the next really count, bring it on!! Started my binge free challenge again yesterday! 8.03 miles walked.

SW RND 219 139.8

4/2 139.8 – 8.6 miles walked. Starting this round at the same weight as last. Want to try to be at a lower number by the end ! Good food day yesterday, stuck to pre-logged plan again. Feeling better physically & mentally, just a couple of pounds makes such a difference!

100-day Binge-free Challenge starting March 31….=1 day.

My 9th Round
Age 53, 5’5”
June 2005: 345 lbs (Highest known weight before WLS Aug 2005)
January 2022: 220 lbs
Weight Beginning this Round: 141.8 lbs
Goal Weight: 135 lbs

This round's daily goals:
1. Stay “Under” in MFP 10/10 days –
2. 6 cups fluids 10/10 days –
3. 10-min guided meditation 10/10 days -
4. Attend work 5/5 days –
5. Gym strength training 3/10 days -


4/2 – 141.8 lbs – I am waffling a bit on the goals I’ve set for myself for this round. I wrote them yesterday when I was feeling a bit down, and now today I am feeling a bit better and the goals seem “too easy”. That being said, I had a lot of “unhappy” faces last round and I was thinking that maybe I need to make my goals more achievable. It’s hard to find that balance. Anyone else struggle with that? Anyway, I guess I will leave them as is, because I really want to focus on (a) getting to work every scheduled day and (b) getting to the gym 3 times over the next 10 days. Today I am not too concerned with getting down to 135 lbs, which is the goal weight I set a couple of rounds ago. To be honest, I am not going to be crushed if I don’t EVER get to 135 lbs. Lol. I honestly don’t think it’s necessary for me to go that low. Plus I’ve been told by my plastic surgeon that I have 5-10 lbs of skin on my body, still, that needs to be removed, so…. As I have stated before on here my “real” goal is so stay below 150 lbs for 1 entire year. I achieved 150 lbs on February 1, 2023, so if I can make it to February 1, 2024 I will start seriously planning and saving for my next plastic surgery, which will be a circumferential body lift. Actually, you know what, I should probably start saving for it now. Lol. It is probably going to be pretty expensive… Okay, I just lost an hour Googling the cost of lower body lifts near me. Haha! And yes, I better start saving NOW. Gulp!

GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 219

Round 219
April 2 – April 11, 2023

61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).

Goal for 2019. New round, new month, so my goals are a bit for both. So I have just under a month before heading back to the real world that set me off on my year and a half of bad behavior, and 25 lb weight gain. For April, I want to continue to cement in healthy actions so that the odds are greater that I will stay with them when I return to Massachusetts where my parents are, and I return to frequent responsibilities on their behalf. Can’t let frustrations turn into not caring, ceasing exercise, and binging (often ice cream). Over the course of April, I would like to lose another 5 lbs. That will get down 18 lb for 2023, and to a very nice weight. My 121.X of July 2021 may have not been sustainable. Plus I had gotten there also due to stress, before the stress sent me in my more typical way to eating and gaining. I would be thrilled to eventually be at the weight I was for my daughter’s wedding, 126.

So, to recap, lose 5 lb during April, and to support that, losing 2 lb for round 2019 would be awesome!!

History:

Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, and a DGS. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Selling family home distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment

4/2 – 134.6 Fully expected it this morning. Yesterday, I did great while in Key West sightseeing with the kids and then seeing them off at the airport. Easy hour+ trip home. Get home and promptly ate a Mickey Mouse ice cream (left over from purchases for DGS), then I ate another, then it continued. Probably on the order of 2000 junk calories. It’s out of my system. Today is a new day. I am up early and planning on one of my longer versions of walking. Food’s today are healthy and balanced, and will be getting my home all back in order.

Good Morning!

Thanks @quiltingjaine for keeping this group going!

I am playing a game with myself & setting little daily goals of losing 0.35lbs per day and using those goals to help me stay motivated and on track is a way of fasting that I saw in another group. Using my bathroom scale as a weight loss tool works for me. There are days that my weight increases by 2 pounds or more, and I understand that this is mainly water weight, and can go away as quickly as it came. That is why there are times that my daily goal and my weight that day are pounds apart. I am not expecting to lose 2 pounds of body fat by the next day. But it is possible to lose 2 pounds of water weight by the next day, so I stick to my goals. If it takes longer than one day to lose that water weight, I extend my fast for another day. Sticking to my plan, I will reach my 1st goal weight of 172 pounds on September 16 2023. This will put me in the overweight weight range which I have not seen since 2007. At that point I will decrease the daily amount to 0.2lbs per day to get to my ultimate goal of 140 by my birthday in February.

End of round 218 231.

4/2 Goal:229.4 /Actual 231.8 ❌This is not unexpected, but a little surprising. I was within my calorie goal but I ate crap because of my lack of planning. I am pretty sure today will be the same since it is the last day of the home & garden show. It is done at 4:00 today so I will plan a grocery pick up on my way home, so that I can eat a touch healthier. I will most probably start a 3 day fast tomorrow (after supper tonight) I was visualizing next year's show & seeing the people we see only here & once a year. I will be down 90lbs & will look quite different. Hopefully my feet & hips & back will hurt less from standing all day.

Day, Weight, Comment
4/02 - 159.4 - I'm bloated from all the craziness yesterday. I'm actually surprised I'm not up more and, depending on how today goes, I wouldn't be surprised if some of yesterday's intake showed up on the scale tomorrow, too. Today should be better. Once I finish coffee and finish this post, I'm headed to the grocery to do our weekly shopping. Then over to Fam's to replace the exhaust on BF's bike that's over there. Then I'm not sure, but they want to go to this bike show thing at the fairgrounds. Not sure if BF wants to go or not, but we may join them and enjoy a beautiful day outside before we head back home. I'm hoping food will be much better and easier to track today as things are much calmer. I gave up attempting to track after lunch yesterday. I'm sure I was over but I also didn't sit (other than the short drive from one party to the other) from about 3pm to 8:30pm. My trend is slowly increasing from 158.x to now 159.0 so I need to be mindful and careful this week so I can hopefully drop all this bloat and excess water and get solidly into 157.x range (my goal this round)

Yesterday was a good day—below calorie goal and no after-dinner snacking. We had rain and very high winds so I didn’t walk, but will make up for it today. I think my break from tracking last round did me good, even if I gained weight, as I’m feeling empowered to stick with the program now.

SW RND 219

Lifestyle goals: Only whole plant foods and never any calorie-rich and processed (CRAP) foods. No animal products at all of I can help it. It started as a short term challenge in this group to reduce inflammation but has bloomed into a lifestyle. Strength train or yoga 10 minutes every morning.

This round's challenges:
💤10 days of bed by 10💤
Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen Checklist app 🥦🫚🍎🥔🏃🍵🍞🧄💤

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s MY NEW LIFESTYLE!

4/2 125.6 💤 I've made it to bed before 10pm three nights in a row thanks to putting away the gadgets! Checked off all but one of the Daily Dozen Checklist yesterday.🍎🥔🥦🫚🥬 It's a lot of food to fit into just one day! I've made a plan for today to try to hit all 12. I can do it! The next step is getting all the servings for each food group. First attempt at veggie burgers was a hit with flavor but failed structurally. We'll follow a recipe next time. But, I made a roasted garlic, cashews, nutritional yeast, turmeric, salt and pepper "cheese" sauce/aioli that was out of this world! I had to remind myself how calorie dense it was to stop me from eating it like a soup. Golden goodness. It's in a jar now for Mac n cheese.

@GirlOnTheRebound There are dozens of recipes available for fat bombs. Here is one site - https://www.delish.com/cooking/g4845/keto-fat-bomb-recipes/

They are bite size snacks. You can make them super simple or more elaborate-like peanut butter cups or “Better than Mounds.” They may call for some grocery items you don’t have on hand but they should be readily available.

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

My 9th Round
Age 53, 5’5”
June 2005: 345 lbs (Highest known weight before WLS Aug 2005)
January 2022: 220 lbs
Weight Beginning this Round: 141.8 lbs
Goal Weight: 135 lbs

This round's daily goals:
1. Stay “Under” in MFP 10/10 days –
2. 6 cups fluids 10/10 days –
3. 10-min guided meditation 10/10 days -
4. Attend work 5/5 days –
5. Gym strength training 3/10 days -


4/2 – 141.8 lbs – I am waffling a bit on the goals I’ve set for myself for this round. I wrote them yesterday when I was feeling a bit down, and now today I am feeling a bit better and the goals seem “too easy”. That being said, I had a lot of “unhappy” faces last round and I was thinking that maybe I need to make my goals more achievable. It’s hard to find that balance. Anyone else struggle with that? Anyway, I guess I will leave them as is, because I really want to focus on (a) getting to work every scheduled day and (b) getting to the gym 3 times over the next 10 days. Today I am not too concerned with getting down to 135 lbs, which is the goal weight I set a couple of rounds ago. To be honest, I am not going to be crushed if I don’t EVER get to 135 lbs. Lol. I honestly don’t think it’s necessary for me to go that low. Plus I’ve been told by my plastic surgeon that I have 5-10 lbs of skin on my body, still, that needs to be removed, so…. As I have stated before on here my “real” goal is so stay below 150 lbs for 1 entire year. I achieved 150 lbs on February 1, 2023, so if I can make it to February 1, 2024 I will start seriously planning and saving for my next plastic surgery, which will be a circumferential body lift. Actually, you know what, I should probably start saving for it now. Lol. It is probably going to be pretty expensive… Okay, I just lost an hour Googling the cost of lower body lifts near me. Haha! And yes, I better start saving NOW. Gulp!

Round 219
4/02: 173.2 No Exercise. Water✔ Calories✔

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!

I'm telling myself right now that I'm going to use it everyday of the next round and challenge myself to check all the boxes. This morning's oatmeal already checked off 3 boxes of oats, berries, and seeds!"

@shmmm3 I just downloaded the App! I love this! I'm looking over the website now too. I'm bringing it forward to this round since others may not have seen it since it was posted the last day of Round 218. Thanks for sharing!!

Edit - I just purchased the ebook from Dr. Greger - How not to Die as well as downloaded the How Not to Diet App. Thanks again @shmmm3 !!

Overview
New York Times Bestseller

“This book may help those who are susceptible to illnesses that can be prevented.”—His Holiness the Dalai Lama

“Absolutely the best book I’ve read on nutrition and diet” –Dan Buettner, author of The Blue Zones Solution

From the physician behind the wildly popular Nutrition Facts website, How Not to Die reveals the groundbreaking scientific evidence behind the only diet that can help prevent and reverse many of the causes of disease-related death.

In How Not to Die, Dr. Michael Greger, the internationally-renowned nutrition expert, physician, and founder of NutritionFacts.org, examines the fifteen top causes of premature death in America—heart disease, various cancers, diabetes, Parkinson's, high blood pressure, and more—and explains how nutritional and lifestyle interventions can sometimes trump prescription pills and other pharmaceutical and surgical approaches to help prevent and reverse these diseases, freeing us to live healthier lives.

The simple truth is that most doctors are good at treating acute illnesses but bad at preventing chronic disease. The fifteen leading causes of death claim the lives of 1.6 million Americans annually. This doesn't have to be the case. By following Dr. Greger's advice, all of it backed up by strong scientific evidence, you will learn which foods to eat and which lifestyle changes to make to live longer.

History of prostate cancer in your family? Put down that glass of milk and add flaxseed to your diet whenever you can. Have high blood pressure? Hibiscus tea can work better than a leading hypertensive drug-and without the side effects. Fighting off liver disease? Drinking coffee can reduce liver inflammation. Battling breast cancer? Consuming soy is associated with prolonged survival. Worried about heart disease (the number 1 killer in the United States)? Switch to a whole-food, plant-based diet, which has been repeatedly shown not just to prevent the disease but often stop it in its tracks.

In addition to showing what to eat to help treat the top fifteen causes of death, How Not to Die includes Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen -a checklist of the twelve foods we should consume every day. Full of practical, actionable advice and surprising, cutting edge nutritional science, these doctor's orders are just what we need to live longer, healthier lives.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/01 …..188.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

04/02 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) I am using the starting weight of the last round as a re-do of the round during this round. That’s the best I can do for my mental health right now as I’ve been pretty down in the dumps and I feel the bloat in my body I can’t do very much about right now. I am back to logging my food (something I CAN do), but my bp has been dropping off and on to bad levels again and I am back to tracking for the doctor and doing minimal exercise while we monitor it. I will still go to cardiac rehab, but mainly for class time with education, not necessarily much exercise because of my issues right now. I am going to continue to not weigh in until I am authorized to have a shot at this with some calorie burning too. I am still hoping to have achieved my mini-goal of 188.4 by Easter. I am not sure what day we are planning Easter dinner yet (children’s in-laws have plans too). I usually give up the actual Sunday for the working in-law families and change my dinner date. Whatever day that is (maybe the day before on Saturday?) is the day I will do my mini-goal weigh in (if all goes well on the health field). Anyhoo, I wish each and every one of us the best of luck in reaching our many different and varying goals this round. You all continue to fascinate me, inform me, teach me and amaze me!

Christine from Burlington, Ontario, Canada 😊
My 9th Round
Age 53, 5’5”
June 2005: 345 lbs (Highest known weight before WLS Aug 2005)
January 2022: 220 lbs
Weight Beginning this Round: 141.8 lbs
Goal Weight: 135 lbs

This round's daily goals:
1. Stay “Under” in MFP 10/10 days –
2. 6 cups fluids 10/10 days –
3. 10-min guided meditation 10/10 days -
4. Attend work 5/5 days –
5. Gym strength training 3/10 days -


4/2 – 141.8 lbs – I am waffling a bit on the goals I’ve set for myself for this round. I wrote them yesterday when I was feeling a bit down, and now today I am feeling a bit better and the goals seem “too easy”. That being said, I had a lot of “unhappy” faces last round and I was thinking that maybe I need to make my goals more achievable. It’s hard to find that balance. Anyone else struggle with that? Anyway, I guess I will leave them as is, because I really want to focus on (a) getting to work every scheduled day and (b) getting to the gym 3 times over the next 10 days. Today I am not too concerned with getting down to 135 lbs, which is the goal weight I set a couple of rounds ago. To be honest, I am not going to be crushed if I don’t EVER get to 135 lbs. Lol. I honestly don’t think it’s necessary for me to go that low. Plus I’ve been told by my plastic surgeon that I have 5-10 lbs of skin on my body, still, that needs to be removed, so…. As I have stated before on here my “real” goal is so stay below 150 lbs for 1 entire year. I achieved 150 lbs on February 1, 2023, so if I can make it to February 1, 2024 I will start seriously planning and saving for my next plastic surgery, which will be a circumferential body lift. Actually, you know what, I should probably start saving for it now. Lol. It is probably going to be pretty expensive… Okay, I just lost an hour Googling the cost of lower body lifts near me. Haha! And yes, I better start saving NOW. Gulp!

@clprieur Okay, so don't just leave us hangin' (no pun intended lol). How much for the circumferential body lift on average?

@deepwoodslady HAHA! Here in Ontario it seems to be around $20,000, but I didn't really get a good idea of what that includes. (IE, a butt lift, etc.?) I did send a request for a consult so I'll keep ya posted.
