@deepwoodslady Your post about hating fruits and veggies makes me so sad. I’ve always thought fresh fruits, and veggies well prepared, are among life’s greatest pleasures. I’m curious, too, because I can’t imagine life without them….what do you eat?3

Feel free to add me as a friend 😊
Goals: No coffee after noon
Go to bed by 10pm
Water!!
4/2 - 173.5 - no gym today. Meal prepped my breakfast & lunch for the week. That helps me tremendously! I have 2 minutes to get to bed by 10pm. 🤣
4/3 - 174.2 - I expected this rebound so I’m good with it. Gym tonight and hopefully I can go on a walk on my lunch break today.
4/4 - 175.2 - Ugh, wrong way but not shocking since (TMI ALERT) I need to 💩!! It’s been 2 days 😭 Anyway, didn’t track my water and know I was short. Very short workout at the gym bc my knee was hurting. Today I’m feeling better on track so hoping that # goes back down in the morning.
4/5 - 175.9 - super aggravating!! 😡 but did the c25k on the riverfront yesterday evening and a short jog this morning before I need to dive into work. Perks of remote working! Thinking I need to give IF a go again. Anyone else do IF here? Hoping tomorrow’s # is better and not this upward trend.
4/6 - 174.2 - Wow I was throwing a fit yesterday I looked back at my food diary over the past month or so and as suspected I was higher on my carbs more than usual for about the last 3 weeks. My weight loss has slowed down and when I was completely honest with myself - I *know* carbs aren't friendly to me - but I wasn't as diligent in keeping them at an acceptable level for my body. Lesson learned... maybe, I'm sure I'll do it again in the future and be pi$$y about it again. LOL I had a nice morning jog yesterday in between the storms that rolled through. I've noticed that I have more energy to complete a jog in the evening than in the mornings. I've never been much of a morning person. I also decided to give IF a real effort. I can eat in 30 minutes but my morning coffee (black) has seemed to fulfil so far. I actually enjoy black coffee so that's a plus. I can thank my grandpa for that one. Thank you for all of the support here as I was having a pity party yesterday. Feel free to give me a virtual smack across the face if I do it again. LOLOLOL!!!9 -

@shmmm3 I DO love my cheese and heavy cream but I seem to have the best results when I eat carnivore. Beef is my favorite - even as a kid on the rare occasion of a family trip, I wanted a hamburger for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Now I skip the bun because I know it messes with my appetite. Even eating too many of the good veggies (low carb) will cause me to not lose. My faves are asparagus, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and spinach.
@quiltingjaine I am so intrigued by the pure carnivore diet. Have you seen Jordan Peterson's talk about his experience with it? I just learned that too much spinach in the diet from green smoothies or juicing everyday can cause kidney stones because of the high oxalate content in fresh spinach. I can't pretend to know what oxalates are but now I'm wary of spinach since that was my go-to frozen green to put in smoothies every day. I love asparagus and Brussels sprouts. I need to buy some cauliflower and see how my changing taste buds will react to it now. Edit, I'm switching to frozen collard greens and fresh kale now for my daily smoothies and will only be using cooked spinach.3 -

@shmmm3 I forgot broccoli! My DH will eat raw cauliflower but not cooked and won’t eat any of “my” other veggies. He is a corn and green beans man. He would eat corn every day if I gave it to him. Oh, and he’ll eat a little raw spinach in a salad on occasion, I don’t really like it raw. 🤷♀️ No kale for me. It just tastes awful. The thought of drinking anything green reminds me of a friend MANY years ago who had me try some green stuff she was selling. It was so bad that I couldn’t even swallow it.
I haven’t heard of Jordan Peterson but I think my granddaughter dated someone by that name. LOL Probably not the same guy.
@SModa61 I find it interesting that doctors say it’s okay to use Miralax daily. My daughter was told that years ago also. I’m going to do that for awhile and see what happens.2 -

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.

4/6 213.5 Definitely more energy yesterday but not enough. 1x 10 min rebounder. Was up at night with nausea and an aura migraine. Feel somewhat better so far this morning. During my overnight awake hours I tweaked my food diary to reflect intermittent fasting and to show water and fruit intake. Since I am trying to increase calories I think this might be of assistance. My eating window is from 11am to 7pm. Not sure if this will change to 10am to 6pm. I prefer my first exercise routine in the morning so it may change. Have quarterly neuro appt this morning plus a few errands. Happy Thursday!
I've been eyeing those rebounders... I'm itching to get one and try it out. Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm Charissa - Round 219
Thank you, again, QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!
My goals for round 218 were to maintain as I knew I was coming up on vacation. I ended up gaining 2.6 but once I got home, going back to good habits didn't come naturally....:)
So here we go again. I do have high hopes for April as there is nothing on the calendar. Easter is one day and I don't usually over do it on Easter. My feet feel good (knock on wood) so I should get my exercise in without fail. I actually rejoined one of the Step Bet challenges! My focus for April is on nutrition. I started with the Mayo Clinic Diet and got off track so I'm restarting.

4/2 221.7 - Yesterday met my weekend goal of 64 ounces of water. MCD Plan starts today and Step Bet starts Monday. ✔️
4/3 221 - Headed in the right direction for a change. Yesterday fell short on my water but was on plan for eating. Step Bet challenge starts today and I'm already at 4,724🙂 ✔️
4/4 220.7 - 64 oz of water yesterday. Below goal but better than Sunday! Steps - good - added chart above. ✔️✔️
4/5 219.5 - 96+ oz of water yesterday. Followed my plan perfectly! Needed a catheter, but that's another story!! MCD Plan Good, Steps Good, Water Good. I think I'll save the weights for the long weekend. ✔️✔️✔️
4/6 219.2 - I couldn't do another 96 oz of water and be human! I came in at 64. I'm coasting today as I have a dr appointment and a full bladder would NOT be wise. I'll see what I can do after the appointment. Not good on the plan. Had a late evening and while I had fish, I think I had too much. Steps Good! ✔️ I need a good day today....but apparently yesterday was National Deep Dish Pizza day and my husband wants Pizza. It will be another off plan day BUT, I think I can do a "calorie" view today and still have a decent day. Here's hoping. Then back on track for Friday and Saturday...then there's Easter Sunday.

I cannot remember or locate in chat, who mentioned concern over oxalates in spinach. Yes it's high, but many vegetables, fruits, grains and nuts are high in oxalates, some are low. Drink plenty of water to flush them out. Greens can be boiled and the water drained off to reduce the oxalates. I've enjoyed green smoothies for over 30 years. All raw. I think some people are more sensitive to the oxalates in food or certain foods.6

@itladyee, you made me chuckle with your statement; I couldn't do another 96 oz of water and be human! 😆 You just have to use discernment on that. If you're eating high water content foods, that adds to your fluid intake, but if you've exercised or its hot, or you're just thirsty, drink water.4

I've heard that some people are more sensitive to oxalates and I hope I'm not one of them. I've never had problems with kidney stones so maybe I'm safe to keep with the spinach. Thanks for sharing your experience. That makes me feel better.4 -
RND 219
HW: 175
SW this round: 166.0
Goals This Round. Keep the momentum by drinking my water, moving every day (real workout at least 3xs), be mindful of choices but don't obsess.
4/2 166.2 My family eats out every Saturday for dinner and last night was Chinese food. That was an interesting challenge. I ate a careful lunch in preparation for a heavier dinner. I ate a small wonton soup and then a small-ish plate full of a sample of all of the dishes. I don't feel that I over ate, but I enjoyed the meal! Today we are staying home all day and I am making a family brunch (protein pancakes for the win), and having family over for dinner (making a BBQ chicken braid). So heavier meals than normal, but hopefully my planning will work out and I will stay within my goals. My portion control is getting better.
4/3 166.6 Apparently lack of exercise on the weekends is a problem. I stayed within my calories all weekend, but because of lots of family meals the food choices weren't the healthiest. But it wasn't a binge weekend with a big gain, so I will take it. On my way to the gym as soon as my daughter leaves for school to do some weight training.
4/4 165.4 Hopefully moving in the right direction again! I spent 2 hours at the gym yesterday. Started with some weight training and rowing, and then I moved to the bike and treadmill. I wouldn't have stayed so long, but I started watching the show "Shrinking" and fell in love with it. Two episodes and a lot of burned calories later 🤣 I'm always hungrier and snackier after working out, so I made that protein shake/pudding mix concoction and thoroughly enjoyed it! I slept in this morning and will be headed to the gym again soon. I need to focus on building more muscle, I think.
4/5 166.0 Got in a great gym workout yesterday. Also, tried the Supreme Cauliflower Crust pizza from Costco...it was delicious! 310 calories for 1/4 pizza and now I have my lunches for the rest of the week 😊. Also played a ton of pickleball last night. It's my favorite thing!
4/6 165.8 Wasn't sure if I would make it to the gym yesterday, but I woke up feeling pretty rested and went right after my daughter left for school. Then I took my son to the science museum and got a lot of steps in (and lots of stairs...it was busy and the elevators were full.) I discovered that Dave's Killer Bread topped with avocado, cottage cheese, and hot sauce is a delicious breakfast. If I have time next time I will top with an egg. Loving finding delicious food that doesn't feel like "diet food." This morning we played pickleball before the rain came. I have a girl scout meeting tonight and there will be candy and lots of snacks. Trying to make a plan to not go overboard.

A really gentle but effective way of relieving TMI is to take 1-2 tsps of Epson salt (pure not scented). It pulls water into the intestines. If it doesn’t work after 6 hours do it again.
It will create a gentle but irresistible urge so don’t stray too far from a toilet!
I wish I could be normal. LOL this has been a life long problem for me. I think I’m going to go back to last month and look over my foods, bc it seemed to be a lot better then. But I’m down for trying epson salt! I work from home tomorrow so that sounds like a plan to me! Thanks 😊
@renepink11 I too was chronically constipated, which lead to permanent hemorrhoid issues (could put a description in a spoiler if you want). I am on miralax "for life" according to my colorectal surgeon. I do no start a day without a scoop of miralax in my morning coffee. I do do other things as well that keep me regular.
I use to put miralax in my coffee every morning too. I think I will go back to that bc it did help. Yes, I am now experiencing hemorrhoid issues that started about a year ago. For whatever reason, I stopped the miralax and when I changed my foods, it seemed to get better but not permanently. I go next month for a colonoscopy so I'm wondering if they will say anything. I feel like part of the reason I don't go daily is bc of hemorrhoids blocking the exit!
@renepink11 Blocked exit, certainly does not help and is very familiar. So the "big" routine that I was doing just before my hemorrhoidectomy in 2018 which had helped, and I fully continued for a couple years (now I mix and match), is one scoop Miralax and two tsp Benefiber added to my morning coffee (I am now sloppy about the Benefiber). I also include Fiberone cereal for breakfast. I currently consume 39 grams (scale is easier than measuring cup - roughly 3/4 cup). If I do that combination, my system is perfect. No fiber, there is not enough bulk which is an issue. Fiber, but no miralax, I won't describe the consequences. I am sure there are other options that work for others, but my H problems were to the point of ruining my life, and for over 10+ year. Since my diet changes (above), and the surgery, life is great!6 -
Started at R219
Highest Weight- 387lb (Feb 26th 2023)
Goal Weight- 175-200lb (haven't decided yet- it's so far away)
4/2 360.6lb- walked home from church today- managed the whole 2 mile walk!!
4/3 360.6lb- i can't lose every day, that's not normal...especially since i'm already down nearly 27lb. My knees hurt a little today, probably all that walking yesterday. Today I am going to go for a swim with my wife (depending on if she's up to it or not) so then I'll be able to take it easy on my joints for a bit.
4/4 358.4lb- I am happy!! This is the first time I've been under 360lb since about September of 2022 I believe. Nearly at a 30lb weight loss in total...and maybe I will reach the 350 mark by the time I go to Utah in 23 days! I need this vacation so bad, I can't even tell you! The only thing I seem to be able to control right now is my food intake... I was feeling really emotional last night- going through some stuff... and I nearly went to the store to buy binge foods...but I didn't! I just went for a walk, listened to music, and prayed... I'm grateful for another abstinent day and another day free of binging!
4/5 358lb another steady loss... I'm eating well, moving more, and just trying my best. Haven't done much movement today, had a super rough night last night so I'm exhausted...I might go for a walk later though
4/6 357.4lb I am feeling soooooo hungry today...it's been such an emotional few days, going through some stuff..and I really want to just eat beyond what I should be eating. It's not because I'm hungry, I acknowledge that it is emotional. I will just have a nice drink (sugar free pop lol) and work on some gratitude!

Thank you for the info!! I do appreciate it. I actually like fiberone cereal5 -
@clprieur it fascinates me how in other countries (eg Canada, US) there are so many prescription medications available to treat neurological disorders. In the UK it's really difficult to get support with mental health issues and addictions. Although I have used many SSRIs in the past, I think they have been used as a sticking plaster to deal with underlying issues, as getting cognitive therapy in the UK on the NHS is nearly impossible. I have not taken any anti depressants or anti anxiety for 8 years or so but still struggle with these issues. Alcohol is also a problem, I know I 'self medicate' regularly, but also drinking is such a part of the British lifestyle, so it doesn't seem as big a problem as it probably is.
One thing I really wish The UK would become more accepting of is encouraging and normalising therapy and counselling for everybody. We're still largely in the mentality of seeing mental health issues as something to hide and as a sign of weakness, or a privilege for the rich.4 -

4/2 149.2 (trend 149.5) A little up again, no tmi is probably why. Gym was lower body, I really enjoyed it and am making good progress. Took DD shopping to buy some shoes for her granddad's funeral and picked up a couple of tops for myself but I'm not sure I like them. I'm really not into the styles in the shops at the moment, far too much floral and floaty stuff, it just looks frumpy on me.
Not quite enough steps, I'm blaming the gym WiFi dropping out, so I got bored on the treadmill, but really it's because I spent the evening watching films on the sofa when I should have been getting some chores done. Had a few G&Ts, then I got a bit snacky and had a chocolate and salted caramel hot cross bun. Not that nice, I much prefer the ordinary spiced ones. I think I was slightly in self-sabotage mode last night, not sure why. Maybe it's because I get depressed and obsessed when I'm trying to lose and it doesn't happen. At the moment I'm feeling pleased with my progress and more comfortable in my body and I'm scared of feeling disappointed again so I'm wary of trying to push on for more loss. Something to watch out for as I definitely need to lose at least another stone, so I don't want to get lax.
Calories over and protein well under.
4/3 150.0 (trend 149.6) Argh! OK I'm not surprised, OH came back from his trip and we went out for beers, so this is carb bloat. Didn't have any proper lunch or dinner, just some snacks, but still definitely well over calories. I need to get back to taking this weight loss malarkey seriously.
4/4 150.0 (trend 149.6) Yesterday was a complete write-off, I was totally unmotivated and did very little other than sit under a blanket and read. Food was ok-ish but probably closer to maintenance.
Today I WILL hit all my goals.
4/5 149.6 (trend 149.6) I had a better day yesterday, 10 minutes elliptical warm-up, 75 minutes strength training upper body, 10 minutes core exercises. Steps over 10,000 and calories below target. I was low on protein and water plus only 1 minute of planking. Today was up before 6am with the plan to get out for an early walk and enjoy the spring buds but I'm still sat here drinking coffee 1.5 hrs later, catching up on reading mfp posts, whoops! Feeling very 'backed up', so that's making me a bit sluggish. I need to watch out for the carb creep and try to make sure I'm prioritising non-digestible fibre.
Going to try again at hitting all of my 6 targets today- planking, steps, strength, calories, macros, water. I'm also going to add a daily target of 35g fibre.
4/6 148.8 (trend 149.5) Think I've caught a bug, I got back from a walk yesterday morning and developed a headache, cold sweats, and sore throat. I was wiped out for most of the day. Only ate cereal bars as I was craving energy, not a great day.
I have to pick up my daughter from her nana's house today, not looking forward to the drive on the motorway as my car isn't in the best condition.

4/6 213.5 Definitely more energy yesterday but not enough. 1x 10 min rebounder. Was up at night with nausea and an aura migraine. Feel somewhat better so far this morning. During my overnight awake hours I tweaked my food diary to reflect intermittent fasting and to show water and fruit intake. Since I am trying to increase calories I think this might be of assistance. My eating window is from 11am to 7pm. Not sure if this will change to 10am to 6pm. I prefer my first exercise routine in the morning so it may change. Have quarterly neuro appt this morning plus a few errands. Happy Thursday!
I've been eyeing those rebounders... I'm itching to get one and try it out. Any suggestions?
I bought a Newan. It's a 42 inch (actual bounce surface is 39) with a handle bar. I still find the bar useful when doing new moves or raising knees higher. I like the larger bounce surface for safety and moves like jumping Jack's. I also like the rebounder without the metal springs! Mine has the bungee type cords. Was a pain to put together but nearly silent. I started with videos or watching TV but now I blast serius xm's happydance station and go to town. The high intensity beat of each song really gets the heart rate going! I got mine in November as an early Christmas present and use it pretty much every day 2 to 3 times a day. I don't wear shoes but I do wear socks. It has not gotten spongy like I have heard some can. So in general I recommend bungee instead of metal, large surface and get one with a handle (they are removeable).3 -

4/6 213.5 Definitely more energy yesterday but not enough. 1x 10 min rebounder. Was up at night with nausea and an aura migraine. Feel somewhat better so far this morning. During my overnight awake hours I tweaked my food diary to reflect intermittent fasting and to show water and fruit intake. Since I am trying to increase calories I think this might be of assistance. My eating window is from 11am to 7pm. Not sure if this will change to 10am to 6pm. I prefer my first exercise routine in the morning so it may change. Have quarterly neuro appt this morning plus a few errands. Happy Thursday!
I've been eyeing those rebounders... I'm itching to get one and try it out. Any suggestions?
I bought a Newan. It's a 42 inch (actual bounce surface is 39) with a handle bar. I still find the bar useful when doing new moves or raising knees higher. I like the larger bounce surface for safety and moves like jumping Jack's. I also like the rebounder without the metal springs! Mine has the bungee type cords. Was a pain to put together but nearly silent. I started with videos or watching TV but now I blast serius xm's happydance station and go to town. The high intensity beat of each song really gets the heart rate going! I got mine in November as an early Christmas present and use it pretty much every day 2 to 3 times a day. I don't wear shoes but I do wear socks. It has not gotten spongy like I have heard some can. So in general I recommend bungee instead of metal, large surface and get one with a handle (they are removeable).
Thank you!! 😊

Your post is so heartbreaking. Thinking of you during this very difficult time.6 -
Looking forward another challenge. My goals for the challenge are the same as last time - to log consistently and to avoid snacking after dinner - including over the Easter weekend, which falls in the middle of this challenge!

4/6 148.8 (trend 149.5) Think I've caught a bug, I got back from a walk yesterday morning and developed a headache, cold sweats, and sore throat. I was wiped out for most of the day. Only ate cereal bars as I was craving energy, not a great day.
I have to pick up my daughter from her nana's house today, not looking forward to the drive on the motorway as my car isn't in the best condition.
