4/2 215.2 You know what they say about best laid plans.....Well, last night's dinner was not poutine. They had no gravy! So I had 2 chicken tenders that I calculated as 4 as they were on steroids lol. And 9 onion rings deep fried. Today we decided to go to the Olympic type pool for laps. I did 60 laps in 66 minutes. Slow and steady lol. Dinner is leftovers from last night but only 1 tender as my tummy is still full. And the sodium thirst is fierce. It was nice to get in a pool again. Completed 2x rebounder sessions at 20 mins each
4/3 214.7 Migraine
4/4 214.8 Migraine
4/5 214.6 Calories have been good. Exercise non existent (managed a slow evening stroll with husband) PMS is ending with the customary migraine. Far too many meds. I have been able to cook meals. Mini wontons and salad the other night and turkey stroganoff last night. I will try at least one rebounder session today. Struggling with sleep at night as I have been napping on and off all day. Binge watched Lenix Hill on Netflix till the wee hours. Hoping for less meds today and more energy.6 -

@RenaPink11 I am currently doing intermittent fasting. I would like to do an extended fast but I think I need to practice & eat low carb for a while first.
@fmfdfa2020 funny how a symbol can affect a mood or motivation. Just like colours. I keep a spreadsheet as well & was using red for the days I did not achieve the goal I set & green for days that I do. It is mostly red right now which is just so harsh. I need to rethink these colours & symbols, even though they are just colours & symbols5 -
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.
4/3 126.8 💤🥦 checked all servings and made it to bed by ten. Beans for breakfast is totally new to me but I'm trying to remind myself that it's normal in a lot of cultures. What's weird today can become habitual in a few weeks. Just gotta do it. I'm waiting for my gut to get used to this new way of eating. A lot of fermentation I'm still not used to. It's apparently normal and will subside if I keep at it. I'm measuring out each serving today so I don't overstuff myself. For breakfast I saw that a 1/2 cup of beans is a lot smaller than I was eyeballing! Oh, and I almost forgot this little victory.... I'm not panicking about the scale going up! From the FAQs on nutrionfacts.org: "The Daily Dozen averages about 1,200 calories, but given the wide array of food choices in each category, it can range anywhere from 800-1800." I've definitely been tipping the higher side, especially with my not measuring anything. Now that I know I'll be better at it. It's so much whole foods fiber though, so many of the calories end up in the toilet... I'll see a big drop when that happens. I made a pun 🙃
4/4 126.8 I found a half-eaten bag of fritos in the pantry last night. What were they doing there!?! I had to clear the pantry of all ultra-processed foods, obviously, so I ate them all. Had a more restless sleep but I'm laughing at myself today. There's a big NSV for me: I'm not beating myself up about eating a half bag of fritos (it was a giant sharing size bag to be totally honest), and, it didn't turn into an all out binge! 🥦 Yesterday the Daily Dozen got checked and was a cakewalk when I actually measured 1/2 cup servings. I think it's safe to say I've gotten good at eating only plant based foods for days and have successfully reorganized the bulk of my diet. I'll call it quits on the strict tracking of the daily dozen but keep it up on my fridge as a reminder of "Green Light" foods we can always have more of. That is super doable without stressing about it and without forcing my gut to tolerate that level of insoluble fiber. It's not meant to be a diet but a base recommendation of foods to incorporate to help crowd out the less healthy stuff. It is a good base for practicing a Mediterranean Diet if anyone's doing that. I'm quitting the strict tracking before I start to resent it since the whole point of this is to stress less. But, beans for breakfast again with my potato hash is a great way to start the day.
4/5 127.8 This is getting annoying but not unfounded given my carb intake and strenuous exercise yesterday. I'm not going to make any big changes just yet. If the scale is still up tomorrow then I'll start tracking my calories again. I really enjoy not tracking calories and instead tracking food types from the checklist app. I made a pasta dish yesterday that my husband said looked like "a real recipe...Martha Stewart would approve." What?! I know he doesn't know how to filter his compliments so that's big. It was so easy, too. I peeled and chopped up two large carrots, threw them in a pot to boil with salt, then added some whole wheat rotini, frozen spinach, and when everything was done boiling I drained it and added some leftover broccoli and mixed in my leftover cashew cheese sauce. The final product was colorful with the veggies and the mouth feel was all comfort food quality. It took 20 minutes and one pot and used up leftovers! Weight is up today but I am getting more confident in the kitchen and am learning how to cook healthy things that aren't boring tasting and gross looking so that is a good thing for the long term.

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.

I am not sure who mentioned the books "How not to die" and "How not to diet" by the same authors. I think they were on this challenge. I just want to say that I ordered it with the hopes that it has ideas to use food to improve my overall health.
In the meantime, I am still in the middle of 5 books including "The case for Keto".4 -

04/03 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW)
04/04 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) Oh my Goodness, I wanted to weigh so badly today! But then, why would I weight the day after travel when the restaurant food usually adds 2-3 extra pounds to the scale? So I am drinking lots of water to offset the high sodium meal, hoping for a TMI to rid myself of the evidence and going to try to close all my fitbit circles today while carefully watching the bp. Fasting glucose this morning was pretty good so that is a good sign of the times I hope. Enjoy your day everyone!
04/05 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) Bad Rain storm across Michigan today. Some areas (like mine) will also see a wintery mix of rain & snow, large hail, and in some areas the possibility of tornados. So it’s gloomy but active. Had thunder and lightning all night which I hate since I am so terrified of lightning because my house was struck when I was a child. I pray we don’t lose power because then there is no water when you have a well. On the diet front: Yesterday was a very good day. I cooked some new meals which was within plan and exciting. I did a little mild dancing even though I’ve been told not to exercise quite yet. Today my blood pressure is down too low again. It seems to be going back & forth. I travel tomorrow for cardiac rehab (education only at this point, no exercise because of bp) and it is located in the same town as the Heart Failure Clinic so Dr. says to bring in bp machine so they can download my recent readings. They will probably call later to direct me. Sticking to my guns today. I’ve already pre-logged my meals. I can feel that my clothes are a bit tighter mainly due to lack of burning those calories I’m eating. My daily calorie expenditure overall has been in the 1800 range. THAT gets me nowhere!

Hi @deepwoodslady , I'm reading both right now too! Both Keto and WFPB have plenty of benefits that, IMO, comes down to removing ultra-processed foods from our diets. Anything that helps me not to return to the standard American diet and order a pizza delivery every weekend is good for my overall health I'm finding the WFPB to be the approach that seems to be fitting me best and the argument that I needed to not bring dairy back into my life. I'm actually interested in trying a keto WFPB diet sometime soon because I'm wondering if the main reason I could never feel great on keto was because of too much dairy. That'll be an interesting experiment.2 -

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!2 -
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!
4/5358lb 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

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 😊

Hi @deepwoodslady , I'm reading both right now too! Both Keto and WFPB have plenty of benefits that, IMO, comes down to removing ultra-processed foods from our diets. Anything that helps me not to return to the standard American diet and order a pizza delivery every weekend is good for my overall health I'm finding the WFPB to be the approach that seems to be fitting me best and the argument that I needed to not bring dairy back into my life. I'm actually interested in trying a keto WFPB diet sometime soon because I'm wondering if the main reason I could never feel great on keto was because of too much dairy. That'll be an interesting experiment.
He has a lot of videos on YouTube. I listen to his podcast when I drive. There’s a ton of info on this website as well. I need to read his books as well. When I can squeeze another 5 minutes into my day. 😊

@shmmm3 You may know already that I don't eat fruit AT ALL and I hate 99.9% of all veggies and don't eat most of them. I did hate 100% of them (except potatoes) but through Keto I have learned to "sneak" in a few in various ways. Plant based is not something I could ever do completely for sure. At times, I have come to the conclusion that I am lactose intolerant. I've never had that diagnosis or discussed it with a doctor, but the bloating can be horrendous. I do buy Fairlife milk (lactose free) and I do spread my cheese products out a bit in my diet to help. Anyway, all the different approaches fascinate me, and knowledge is ALWAYS power so I can't wait to get these books. I'll make them next on my list when I finish at least one of the 5 I am currently reading lol.2 -

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.

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!
