    Round 220: DNW

    After taking a diet break for 3 rounds, I am back around 1 pound heavier. We had a lovely holiday at the same time which involved lots of eating out but also lots of walking. It was so nice to relax and not worry about food or counting and I am really surprised I haven't gained more. It gives me some hope for maintenance.

    I admit I am struggling to get back into the weight-loss mindset so for this round I am just going to focus on counting again and getting 22 active minutes.

    4/22: 164.2 lbs

    4/23: 164.2 lbs

    4/24: 163.4 lbs
    This loss of probably just from eating less. I really struggled not to snack on the afternoon. Afternoons are my kryptonite. I can hoover up calories very quickly in the afternoon even if I am not hungry. I will try to replace any afternoon snacking behaviours with ginger and lemon tea and see how I go.

    4/25: 163.8 lbs
    I was offered cake and being a good guest I ate it. But then I decided I didn't need to count for the rest of the day! In hindsight I should have just not counted the cake and continued counting for the test of the day. If I include a calorie estimate of the cake in my diary, I think I will get too hungry then feel like bingeing. So I think I will just try skiping counting junk food I am personally offered in social settings then go back to counting normally for the rest of the day.

    4/26: 162.9 lbs

    4/27: 162.3 lbs

    4/28: 162.5 lbs

    4/29: 163.6 lbs
    It was pizza night,
    Home cooked pizza too tempting,
    Regret fills my mind.

    Goals: Whole foods, plant-based with minimal high quality animal products on the weekends. No dairy.

    4/24 127.8 Last I weighed in I was 130 last week so this is a nice surprise. Especially since I stopped logging again and on Thursday and Friday of last week I basically ate dinners of just golden potato and sweet potato fries (air fryer) smothered in a blended sauce of cashews, tofu, sesame seeds, beans, flaxseeds, garlic, and nutritional yeast that made it into a queso/gravy. I was feeling bad and wanted comfort food and nothing green. Better than cheese fries. It was so indulgent my husband and I had so much fun eating it with a fork and joking about it being healthy depression food. Learning how to mix and match the right ingredients and seasonings is paying off. A steep learning curve but worth it.
    4/25 127.8 Same, no change to speak of.
    4/26 DNW but doubt there's a significant change. I'm at that point in my cycle where I have really good self body image so I don't want to mess with that. Made black bean burgers from a real recipe on spruce eats and they worked perfectly. We agreed that burger form is our new favorite way to eat black beans. One can of beans made 4 patties and the only changes I made were using the oroweat keto buns for the extra fiber and lower calories and Ezekiel bread instead of white bread. With a good base recipe we now want to try again with some additions like mushrooms, roasted red peppers, maybe more garlic, we'll see. Black bean burgers again tonight.
    4/27 DNW Burgers were delicious with mushrooms and a roasted garlic mayo (nothing fancy, just mixed mayo with leftover garlic). Can't believe we finally unlocked the black bean burger magic. BBQ restaurant for lunch today and I stayed plant-based no problem. A giant smoked sweet potato loaded with baked beans, onions, and jalapenos and asked for the meat on the side to take home. It was absolutely delicious and I left the restaurant without a stomach ache and without feeling like I had to work it off or over indulged. Wow.
    4/28 DNW After a perfect day yesterday with my diet and exercise and outlook I ruined it with chocolate chips late at night. My dog is good this morning but last night I was extremely worried. She was sleepy, wouldn't take treats, and there was blood in her left nostril. It wasn't actively bleeding so we didn't take her to the vet because she was otherwise very calm. Turned out she was probably just sleepy and we determined the blood was likely from her vomiting up a piece of plastic earlier that caused trauma. She had a big day two days in a row and was trying to sleep and I kept fawning over her and worrying and after I left her alone for a few hours she woke up and jumped around back to her usual energetic self. I self soothed with chocolate chips once she was back up and playing. I was so happy when she was back showing energy. It was scary and I feel exhausted this morning from all the worrying.
    4/29 DNW the base of my diet this week has been black bean burgers and sweet potatoes. I'm feeling good about things and looking forward to seeing if there's any change on the scale on the 1st. I've mostlly been eating ad libitum again and I may be overindulging still. Next round I plan on being strict again for the whole 10 days, keep my calories to no more than 2000 per day (not eating back exercise calories). I'll also have it be another 10 day alcohol fast. Really, I'm going back to how strict I was when I started back in January. I don't have as far to go this time and I'm starting from a much stronger foundation in diet habits and cooking skill now. I need to pump myself up before I start because I'm a little worried I've gained some weight being too loose with snacking and drinking but it's not going to need to be the full 180 degree turn that I had to do before. I'm stronger now, healthier, and will always need to work on my habits until they start to serve me and my goals.

    Hi, I'm new to MFP so I hope I post this correctly.
    38F / 5'4"
    Round 221 - RSW-239.2lbs / RGW-238.2lbs

    Track all my meals on the app & do accountability checks with my fitness coach/son.
    Stick to my work out plan (alternate 3 days walking/3 days body weight exercising/1 day rest)
    Don't drink my calories outside coffee (need to have milk!)
    Increase water intake (use my gallon size jug!)
    Get good sleep!

    Day, Weight, Comment
    4/22 - 239.2 - Good start, had a walk with a long hill, ended the day with spare calories but still had a giant dinner!
    4/23 - 238.2 - Day 2 of not drinking calories and all I wanted all day was a vanilla creme cold brew! :neutral:
    4/24 - 238.2 - Decided today that changing my workout days to a 2workout/1rest alternate would be better since my poor legs cannot take so much in a row! So, today is a rest day. However, I stood in line at chipotle getting lunch today for 25 minute and I'm counting that as a work out (plus test in patience). Had a big lunch (no rice! no tortilla!) so it's a light dinner for me. :)
    4/25 - 238.8 - Holding steady on the weight. I've been puffy in the mornings :( I had a crappy food day today so tomorrow will be more focused. My legs were also very sore still from working out two days ago so I skipped again today and will continue tomorrow unless I still have pain. Goal tomorrow: drink 80 oz of water & no snacks at work.
    4/26 - 238.8 - No changes. Today was the last track meet for my son so we spent the evening doing that, no time to work out afterwards. Darn :(
    4/27 - 238.8 - Still no changes. I did eat a bunch today, not sure if I was just stressed about my final. But I passed! Yay! Legs feel back to normal so tonight will begin another set of workouts for the week!
    4/28 - 237.8 - Finally down again! I've been eating like total garbage this week (I had hotpot today THEN gosh darn Taco Bell for dinner ughhhh). Tomorrow will be different, we're planning a big hike at a lighthouse, then I plan to do a 5-mile round trip down the trails here (to go study at the Starbucks). I should make up for being lazy this week I know I've been "over" in calories this week, but in reality, I'm still way under from a month ago so still trending downward!
    4/29 - 235.0 - I think my scale is not working right today. I weighed several times, turned it on and off, etc, still down 2.8 from yesterday morning. We'll see how it goes tomorrow. Today sucked food-wise.. I overate a lot and felt really bloated, thanks pizza :angry:

    4/20 150.0 (trend 150.2)
    4/21 148.4 (trend 150.0)
    -
    4/22 149.0 (trend 149.8) Started the round with a bit of a binge-fest last night, so that's not good! We had a trip to Oxford in the afternoon, so I got in a 3 mile walk along the river while waiting for OH to finish with his doctors appointment there.
    I had the house to myself in the evening, so I took full advantage of stretching out on the sofa, watching tacky films until the wee small hours.
    STEPS 7,134

    4/23 149.4 (149.8) Had a slow morning, then got to the gym after lunch for a lower body workout. Totm started yesterday, and it affected most of my sets as I had to lower the weights on my lifts, so that was annoying. Got out for a 2 mile walk around town in the evening with OH, then a small pizza and a few beers with a film. Pretty much ate at maintenance, no tmi is probably why the gain today.
    STEPS 8,564

    4/24 150.0 (trend 149.8) We decided to skip breakfast and go for a walk and pub lunch. Did a 6 mile walk around a reservoir and didn't end up eating until 4pm, had Hunter's chicken with chips and salad, then overdid it with some snacks in the evening. I'm going to try my absolute hardest to stick to 1200 calories this week.
    STEPS 15,684

    4/25 149.2 (trend 149.7) 2 mile walk in the morning, then upper body workout. Made a huge batch of hot and sour chicken and vegetable soup, which should help me get back on track. Stayed within calories and only just got my steps goal.
    STEPS 8,531

    4/26 148.4 (trend 149.6) 2.5 mile walk in the morning followed by 1hr lower body workout at the gym. My daughter made mini chocolate muffins, which I couldn't resist, so I had 2. I had to estimate the calories for these, 260? Stayed within calories, so long as my estimate was close. Not getting enough protein at the moment.
    STEPS 8,733

    4/27 146.8 (trend 149.1) Ooo, nice drop! I was over calories yesterday, so I'm not sure why this has happened. I woke up feeling dehydrated, so it might just be that. I'll have to wait until tomorrow's weigh-in to find out. I'm excited to reach 10½ stone and have my bmi below 26 at last, and less than half a stone until I reach my goal!
    3 mile walk in the morning followed by 1.5 hrs upper body workout.
    STEPS 11,256

    4/28 147.8 (trend 149.0) 1lb bounce back, I'm not surprised or particularly disappointed as I suspected yesterday was mainly dehydration. I'm very glad to see that I'm still below 148lbs though, I've been stuck around the 151-148 range for what feels like months! So, I'm cautiously optimistic that I may be finally leaving the 150s behind. Only 1.5 mile walk in the morning as I was short of time, then 1hr lower body at the gym, but I only managed half my exercises as it was really crowded for some reason. Had a go at Bulgarian split squats but couldn't get the form right, and it felt really awkward. I think I need to incorporate more weighed squats or lunges as my knees and balance weren't enjoying the action. Stayed within my calorie range but I did have some chips last night which were very salty. OH ordered a massive kebab with chips and I didn't intend to have anything, but chips are my kryptonite so I stole some off him!
    It's the weekend, good luck guys!
    STEPS 10,017

    4/29 145.8 (trend 148.6) What?! After 5 rounds of basically bouncing back and forwards around 150lbs, things are suddenly moving downwards at last, yay! I'm not sure what's triggered it, maybe just adding in the walking was enough? Except I didn't walk yesterday morning as the weather was grim. Did 1.5hrs in the gym, upper body. We walked into town in the evening and went for cocktails at a new bar, happy hour so I had 3, oops! Didn't have any dinner, so feeling a bit worse for wear today.
    STEPS 9,600

    4/30 148.2 (trend 148.5) We skipped breakfast and went for a 3 mile walk in a woods. It was very muddy but incredibly beautiful with all the swathes of spring wild flowers. We had a late lunch at a carvery and I did my best to load up on veggies and just a couple of potatoes with turkey and half a Yorkshire pudding. Then had veggy sticks with houmous and a few low calorie crisps in the evening. The 2.4lb gain from yesterday is hopefully only retained water and fibre still in my system and I still stand a chance of reaching my goal this round. I've met my step goal already but probably won't be able to fit in any walking today as I have to take OH to the airport, he's going to India for 10 days.
    STEPS 7,701

    IVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 221

    Round 221
    April 22 – May 1, 2023

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

    Goal for Round 221 – This round will end with the challenge of traveling home 1600 miles, with a full day stop at MIL’s, followed by the last 1400 miles of the trip. Final weigh-in will be the morning after I return home (if the drive goes as planned). My dream for my time in Florida was to return home weighing less than 130, a place I had gotten to with the help this group in 2021. Returning home is the May 1 of this round. So my goal for this round is to be under 130 on May 1.

    History:

    Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a DGS, and second GS on the way. 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!

    Good Morning!

    My why
    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. I also have a cruise booked for my birthday & one of the tours offers a mini photoshoot. What a great opportunity to be at my goal & get semi professional pictures on the beach!
    I did an extended fast on April 9th that lasted almost 9 days. That got me back on track after Easter.


    Round 218 SW 232.4 EW 231lbs (-1.4)
    Round 219 EW 229lbs (-2)
    Round 220 220.2lbs (-8.8) (Extended fast)

    Goals for this round:
    Zone 2 cardio 26/150 minutes
    Weightlifting 5x

    Previous days this round
    4/22 -Goal 222.4 /Actual 221.8.
    I am not complaining about the scale 🙊 I know this is what happens. I am still almost down 10lbs, my eating is better, low calories, less mindless unplanned eating. I made fried kimchi cauliflower rice with shrimp last night that had great macros & was very satisfying & tasty. I had never tried kimchi before but we picked up a huge jar at Costco & fortunately we like it. I will probably make it again this week. I am challenging myself to cook with what we have in the house, everything is super full so I will have to do some digging in the cupboards & freezer & make some good low carb dishes.
    4/23 -Goal 222.1 /Actual 222.6
    Already another fasting day. I thought it would take until Monday. Oh well, no big deal. I have some meals to prep today for the week, hot yoga this morning & I will take the dog for a walk. I was noticing yesterday that I was moving better & felt lighter. The scale does not agree but I will not get frustrated. I knew going into this that the scale sucks. I continue to stick to my plan, fast when I am over the projected goal & know that it is just a number & does not represent failure.I have been eating under 1000 calories since I broke my fast except yesterday I had around 1400. I have not been drinking enough water & honestly now that I think of it I did some boredom/procrastination eating that I did not track. No big deal, it can be fixed but I need a strategy to stop that. Well, at least I have a strategy to deal with it when it does happen before it leads to weeks & months!
    4/24 -Goal 221.7 /Actual 221.4
    Well I didn’t fast yesterday but I was very mindful & ate low carb & less calories. I cooked ahead & should have enough food cooked for the week that I don’t have to worry about coming home from work & settling for taquitos & pizza pops. I will be working most of the week & starting to train seasonal staff so that they are ready when pool season starts. In yoga yesterday the instructor suggested something that reinforced my current goals. Self care, exercise, taking care of this extra weight is so important so that I am not a burden on those around me. My mobility is not affected now, but it will be in the future if I don’t take care of myself now.
    4/25 -Goal 221.4/Actual 221.4
    I am exactly on track. It should feel good but somehow I feel behind. This feeling of inadequacy is creeping into other areas of my life & affecting other people. I feel a little out of control because there is no way I can control everything. Oh well, obviously I am going through another period of growth & development. I believe this time I will reach my weight loss goal which will give me a sense of accomplishment so that I can move on. At least I hope that’s what is going to happen!
    4/26 -Goal 221.0 /Actual 221.8
    Well, I had more calories & carbs yesterday so it makes sense that I am up a bit. No big deal, it is just water & it will be gone tomorrow. That’s the joy of doing it this way. I am on track again today, I have a goal to meet & if I don’t, I fast. I do have to get myself to the gym. I am tired when I leave work but that isn’t a good enough excuse. I need to get there before I head home. It all seems so simple doesn’t it?
    4/27 -Goal 220.7/Actual 222
    I am slipping a bit. I feel myself getting busier with work & getting more tired & less willing to eat what I have cooked. It just doesn’t make sense! I want to lose this weight more than anything but I am self sabotage every chance I get. So strange. I will be fasting today & probably tomorrow to catch up from this glitch & I will be going to the gym this afternoon. I have no excuses, being tired isn’t a good enough reason. Yesterday my son needed my vehicle but he wasn’t in a rush so I definitely could have worked out before going home. Noom often asks me to recommit to my big goal & today I do!
    4/28 -Goal 220.4 /Actual 220.4
    I didn’t fast yesterday. I did go to the gym after work. I had forgotten that I had promised my son a meal (it was pulled pork cauliflower Mac & cheese & just ok). I was on track with calories & very happy I dragged myself to the gym. I will start to fast after lunch today, probably until Monday. I have an afternoon of staff training. For the first time ever one person I hired has ghosted me. I think I have over hired so I should be good, but still weird!
    4/29 -Goal 220.0/Actual 221.4
    I didn’t fast yesterday because after I posted I weighed again & was at my goal. I popped up again this morning so I will be careful, and probably do lower calories today. I will go to the gym today. I forgot to go after work yesterday. I need to make it automatic when I leave work, I head to the gym rather than home. It will help avoid the afternoon munchies & I want to work out more. I know that for weight loss it is what I put in my mouth, but exercise & going to the gym is a positive environment for me to be reminded of my why.
    4/30 -Goal 219.8/Actual 221.6
    Well I did not fast again, but it was worth it since I got over 9 hours of sleep. I am so tired. I ate healthy, no snacking. I will fast today & tomorrow & hopefully that will be enough to get back on my schedule. I have hot yoga today. It is raining this morning so hopefully I can take the dog at some point.

    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

    Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

    4/26 128.0 at 4AM, up about 6 times during the night to get rid of 4# of water I took to bed! No TMI x 2, drank at least a gallon of water + coffee + Coke Zero. Told a friend I would come to water fitness this morning but need some bathroom action before that. I haven’t been to WF since COVID when they shut down the world. 💩 happened.
    LATE EDIT: OMG I’m so out of shape, I don’t know if I’ll be able to move tomorrow.

    4/29 127.5 Woke up this morning with a dry mouth- really dry! Ate salted sunflower seeds last night, drank lots of water.🤷‍♀️ Granddaughter #2 is flying in this evening and we’re having a family dinner at a “pub.” It will be well after my eating window. I plan to get a side salad and possibly an adult beverage.
