    Day, Weight, Comment

    4/22 - 181.8
    Finally, though of course I could bounce back up. I looked back at records and I’ve been hovering here (180-182) for wayyyyy too long. The only good thing about a 3-year plateau is that I haven’t gone higher, and have obviously hit a stasis no matter what I eat (within reason). Sigh. I’ve got to get a grip.

    4/23 - 183.2
    No idea. Maybe salt/water. Not calories! Boy, it’s turned really cold again. Yuck. We’re getting pad Thai for lunch/dinner, and I’m going to enjoy every bite! Have a lovely Sunday, all.

    4/24 - 181.8
    That’s better, in spite of the pad Thai, which was delish. Today will be much lighter—light bran muffin for breakfast, salad with salmon for lunch, lentils and brown rice for dinner. It’s chilly right now but should be nice for a walk in a couple of hours. Have a great Monday!

    4/25 - 182.2
    I’m getting tired of cold and rainy. I tried for a walk yesterday and got hailed on. Oh, well, it’s April in Indiana. The daffodils and redbuds are spectacular! 😊

    4/26 - 181.8
    Looks like a nice day coming up. On my way out for a dog walk, and I’m planning another faster walk for myself later, and som3 yard work. I can’t wait for warm enough weather to start planting things! 🌷 Gardening is my weight training. 😊

    4/27 - 181.6
    Finally, a little movement. Well, while discussing the garden with DH (who does not garden, just encourages me!) I’ve given myself a new project—revamp the front-of-the-house garden bed. We inherited some “landscaping” that was not well thought out by the previous owners, and rather than digging it out and starting over, I’ve been trying to work with some of it. But it just isn’t working, so I think I’m going to dig out the plants I don’t like, enrich the soil, and start over. That should keep me out of trouble for a while! And it’s exercise for body and soul. 💐 Maybe it will burn a few calories and built back some muscle!

    4/28 - 183
    Gaaa. I went snack crazy last night—ice cream, cheese, raisin bread cinnamon toast. Wth is wrong with me? I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself. On the plus side, I went for two 45-minute walks with the pup, and worked 90 min in the garden, digging, lifting…. I was thinking about how focused I was in 2015-16, when I lost 70 pounds, and trying to figure out how to do it again. I really was absolutely focused on losing, built my walking to 6-8 miles a day, swam, started and continued running (and did 3 5-Ks, a 10K and a half marathon), and ate lean protein, lots of veggies, some fruit, and, for a snack at night, 1 oz of really nice hard cheese, nibbled slowly. And now that I’ve written out the formula, I feel like maybe, maybe I can get a grip on myself. I’m very sad about my weight (and other things — pandemic depression) and, to be honest, I’m still mourning my pup Rory, who some of you recall we had to euthanize in October. I’ve taken a lot of crap from certain people over that, which upsets me no matter how much I try to ignore their uninformed judgemental b.s. I think all of the above is pushing me to eat, and I MUST channel my emotions into more positive pursuits. Good food, but less of it. More walking for the dopamine and muscle. More puppy time, more flowers. Thanks as always for listening. Reading your stories is such a big help on so many levels, and the warmth and support of this group is ❤️❤️❤️. I actually feel a positive rush for having written all that out!

    4/29 - 183.5 😢😡🤯
    I was under my calorie goal yesterday, but the previous days are showing up now. I’m so disgusted. That said, my exercise goal for now is 2 dog walks a day (20-30 min each, fairly slow so he can sniff where he wants) and 45-60 min by myself at a faster pace. I had planned to re-start “wunning” in May but didn’t get my April distances/times up to snuff, so I’ll see how it goes, but will start soon. As for food, I’m determined to stop the stupid snacking!!! I’ve been saying this for so long I’m embarrassed, but I have to stop it. It rained all day yesterday, but I finally got a half hour walk in with the pup in the evening. Not fast, but at least I was moving. And off I go now for walk #1 and then some garden work.

    4/30 - 182.6
    Yesterday was good. I got my two half-hour dog walks in, then it rained so I didn’t get my other walk. But I did work in the garden for 90 minutes, heavy work, so there’s that. Low calories, no snacks. More of the same today.

    5/01 - 183.2
    Ugh. DH made chicken Mac & cheese last night, and wheat pasta always makes me hungry later. I ate ice cream, too much of it. Back on track today.

    I ***LOOOOOOVVVVEEEEE**** fruit.
    I am concerned about when I reach my goal weight of how to not revert back to eating tons of fruit (because you know, fruit/veggies are good for you, so eat an entire watermelon).

    Noted about the Total carb, vs. net.


    I volunteer for an organic CSA (community farm) and I get a great share every June-October, so I know I'll be eating a lot of veggies this summer. A LOT since the farm is soooo generous.

    This is 1 week's worth in August
    vboobmbfk6nt.png

    Wow! What a gorgeous haul! Makes me want to run off to the produce section right now. And I’m with you, I love fruit. I understand some people find it hurts their weight loss efforts, but I’ve always found that if I opt for fruit instead of other snacks, I lose weight. I also love fresh veggies. I’m thinking tomato and 1% cottage cheese for lunch! 😊

    Day, Weight, Comment
    4/22 200.2 Up slightly but that’s ok. Got to be careful it doesn’t continue.
    4/23 200.6 Ah oh, I need to stop this gaining! Snacking yesterday so I’ve already planned my meals for today. Gotta stick to it!
    4/24 201.2 Oh my! I’m hoping this is from the salt yesterday.
    4/25 200 There goes that water retention from all that salt I ate.
    4/26 201.8 Well darn. I ate Chinese last night, Panda Express. Let’s just hope that it is all the salt again.
    4/27 201.2 Well that’s better but still above my SW let alone losing anything this round. Sometimes I think it’s a mental obstacle and I self sabotage when I get close to being under 200. Traveling to see my mom tonight and to spend a few days with her. Beginning to travel without DH, it’s going to be a lot different.
    4/28 Traveling
    4/29 Traveling
    4/30 199.8 Well that is a very pleasant surprise.
    5/1 199.8 I’m very happy that it stayed down.

    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.

    5/01 -Goal 219.4/Actual 220.6
    I do not feel good today. I did not fast yesterday but I decided to do a 5 day fast starting today. I have had a sore stomach & felt nauseous since last week. I am not sure if it is a virus or something I am eating, or just adapting to keto after a couple of years of eating whatever, whenever. I also haven’t been drinking enough water. Oh well. This fast will reset me once again. & it will be a great start to the next 10 days. I did not lose weight this round but I didn’t expect to. I never do for 2 weeks after a longer fast.

    Hi, this is my first round.
    I’m Amanda, almost 50, wicked short 4’11” from New England.

    My 1st goal is for mid-June (trip to LA/Vegas),
    2nd goal for mid-August.

    Appreciate all your support.

    Just got back from great vacation in NYC.

    - Pre-plan meals for the day
    - Daily movement
    - No Late Night Snacking

    Round 221: JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS
    StartingWeight: 126.8
    EndingWeight: 122.6 – de-bloated 4.2


    Day, Weight, Comment
    4/22 – N/A
    4/23 – N/A
    4/24 – 126.8

    4/25 – 124.6: de-bloating

    4/26 – 123.6: de-bloating from NYC vacation. Beautiful weather: went on 2 walks.

    4/27 – 123.0: should be done w/ de-bloating now.
    had a 2+hour root canal yesterday, so I only had soup and some soft rice leftovers, which probably added to this loss. Lost 1" off my waist from the de-bloating.
    Need to drink more water today.

    4/28 – 122.6: really should be done de-bloating now.
    I’m wicked short. It’s usually REALLY hard for me to lose any weight. So don’t expect this trend to continue.
    But I guess my “regular” baseline is about 121, so my body is shedding all the bloat.
    My next baseline is about 116.
    I got to 112 right before covid, so I’m trying to get back to that weight.

    4/29 – 123.2
    This is why I used to HATE weighing myself.
    No logic as to why my weight went up. I ate under my calories, I worked out, I did all my usual things, so my weight should have stayed the same or go down, not go up.
    But I’ll deal. I know it’ll go down again.


    Since 2/10/23 when I joined a local Moms group, I’ve worked out/done some movement EVERY DAY. Tomorrow it’ll be 80 days straight.
    It's supposed to rain tomorrow, so I walked with 2 friends this morning. I needed 3.2 miles to reach 60miles (beating my 51miles of March). We did 4.5 miles!

    4/30 – 122.6


    5/01 – 122.6
    @BrenM1985: Does this look familiar? 😊
    Been at this weight 3 days. But hey, better than going up.


    Looking forward to Round 222!

    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

    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.
    4/27 127.5 At first I thought I wasn’t sore but just lifting my iPad I realized my biceps are a bit.🤦‍♀️. But I feel good! I just checked us in on our upcoming cruise - 16 days away.
    4/28 127.0 Today’s OMAD is planned and logged.
    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.
    4/30 127.0
    5/1 128.0 Ate breakfast at a crepe place yesterday (with fam) I intended to order gluten free as an experiment but by the time I ordered, totally forgot! So I removed as much of the crepe as I could without losing the egg, bacon and cheese. Lots of leftovers from the past 2 days since we tried to get everyone together while they aren’t having to deal with weekday commitments. DGD#2 is working from (our) home this morning. I’m going to water fitness this morning.

    See you tomorrow in Round 222!

    04/30 -192.6- (Trend weight 191.8) Uh oh! I had dinner with DD and DSIL after babysitting yesterday. I knew it was over, especially on carbs but I didn’t honestly expect this! Today needs to be better. It’s pretty much impossible, at this point, to make my birthday goal. But I still need to get as low as possible. I have a new goal ready for birthday (May 10) to 4th of July!

    05/01 -193.0- (Trend weight 192.2) I’m just not in a good space right now. The whole round has been bad for me but the last couple of days has been no willpower whatsoever. Pretty depressed and gotta get out of this funk. Gotta pull it together. See you next round where it will hopefully be better for me! Congrats to all of you who had scale, fitness and NSV’s.

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    Projection/Actual
    5/1 216.5/213.4 - What a week/round! I know this will slow down soon but as long as the downward trend continues - I'm happy!


    Prior Days This Round
    4/22 218.9/218.3 - A bit of a surprise but I will take it

    4/23 218.4/217.7 - Yesterday was a super busy day. Putting my family room back together after clearing for paint job. Then cleaning the kitchen and dining room that was unorganized holding all that stuff. Stopped for a leftover turkey burger for lunch (with bun and cheese) and then didn't plan dinner so ended up with Chinese food. I usually love potstickers, but this place makes them with very thick dough...read: carbs - so I only had one. Then there's the rice, didn't eat any of the white rice but did have shrimp fried rice. It might take a day for this to show up on the scale but I plan on a more control food plan for today🙂

    4/24 218.2/217.8 Up .1 from yesterday but still below my projection! Intentionally didn't have the leftovers. Made homemade pizza for lunch but only had two small slices. Made chicken and veggies for dinner. Total down this round 1.1

    4/25 218/217.7 - Loss the .1 again.... hope to see a decent movement on the scale tomorrow, otherwise it looks like I'm starting to stall, again.

    4/26 217.9/217.3 - Sometimes my brain forgets that these are "daily" weigh ins. So .4 is good as .4 x 7 = 2.1 pounds in a week. Struggling with water this week but all else is pretty good. Total down this round 1.6

    4/27 217.5/217.5 ~ Ha! in sync with my projection. Not necessarily happy as my trend was losing faster but at least I'm on target. Had ground turkey taco's with lettuce instead of taco shells. A bit of sodium in the seasoning.

    4/28 217.5/217.6 hmmmmmm😞

    4/29 217/216.1 ~ Well, that was unexpected. Welcomed but unexpected. Had to step on a couple of times to confirm.

    4/30 216.8/214.5 ~ Another pleasant surprise. Loss so far this round 4.4 - WOW!! The last two days have been without alcohol and eating only when hungry, those empty calories. When I took days off in January without Alcohol, I don't recall this result. It is motivating! Today's dinner is planned but I need to find something decent for lunch....🙂

    👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE

    RND SW 221

    4/22 194.6 I've been stress shopping and think stress eating as well. But success, last night was able to sleep okay with just the supplements.
    4/23 195.4
    4/24 195.0
    4/25 195.2 Sleep still an issue. Eating too much over last few days.
    4/26 194.6
    4/27 195.0
    4/28 194.8
    4/29 197.2 oh no
    4/30 194.4
    5/1 193.6

    Currently - 125.7
    Goal - 115 then reevaluate

    RND 221

    RSW: 125.7
    RGW: 123.5

    4/22 - 124.3 been focused on nutrition/macros last couple days and it’s paying off!

    4/23 - 124.3 - happy with this, especially after yesterdays loss ☺️

    4/24 - 125.5 - boo 😆 rest day and extra snacks showing here. Dialing back in today 💪

    4/25 - 125 - heading back in the right direction

    4/26 - 125 - yesterday was a great day. Calories/macros in line, an hour of exercise and 11K + steps. Was hoping for a little loss, but going to trust the process and focus on having another great day 😊

    4/27 - 124.8 - happy with this 😎

    4/28 - 124.8 - ok.. hoping for drop tomorrow!

    4/29 - 124.8 …….

    4/30 - 124.8 😂 I wonder what tomorrows weight will be??

    5/1 - 125 … boo!

    Enjoyed my first 10 days round! Had hoped to lose a little more, but I am ok with slow and steady :)

    .7 lost this round… we will see what 222 has to offer!

    Good job everyone! I loved seeing everyone’s ups and downs throughout and wish you all success in round 222!
