    @SModa61 I have never noticed fancy cottage cheese in Canada. I like mine with dill pickles & everything bagel seasoning.

    @Lisapower123 Ooooo That actually sounds really good. That one I like is made by Hood Dairy and it is a New England area product. https://hood.com/products/cottage-cheese/savory-cottage-cheese/cottage-cheese-with-cucumber-and-dill Apparently there is onion added as well. Just not in the title.

    @musicsax and all I used to chop assorted vegetables to mix into cottage cheese for lunch. Fresh peaches in cottage cheese are also delish!

    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

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.

    Thank you @quiltingjaine for another round!

    💪🏋️‍♀️🤸‍♀️🎵💃👗👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💗🌻🏖🙏

    Heaviest Weight Ever: 186.0
    186 / 185 / 184 / 183 / 182 / 181 / 180
    179 / 178 / 177 / 176 / 175 / 174 / 173 / 172 / 171 / 170
    169 / 168 / 167 / 166 / 165 / 164 / 163 / 162 / 161 / 160 👉 159

    Stick to Plan:
    • Calorie cycle for a weekly average of 1200 to 1500 (with a maintenace day thrown in every now and then.
    • Exercise: Row, Walk, Bike, Weights, Dance, Jazzercise, Kayak, Hike
    • Water: Shoot for 80oz per day
    • Binge-Free & Sugar-Free for 100 days (46 days at the beginning of this round)
    • Reduce added salt
    • Lots of veggies and protein, some fruit (very little processed foods or simple carbs which I hardly ever have)
    • I need to figure out a way to get more fiber, especially from grains.
    If I quit now, I will soon be back to where I started. And when I started, I so desperately wanted to be where I am now.

    Last Weight - Round 221 on 4/19: 169.6
    Round 221
    Previous Days' Notes:
    4/22: DNW Walk/Bike✅ Water✅ Calories✅ I'm not weighing for a few more days. I ate at maintenance for two days and at my low end of my calorie range yesterday. I was looking thru my summer clothes that I haven't worn for at least 7 or 8 years and the tops look so small. I'm small boned but did I really wear those? I'll have to revaluate my goal weight when I get closer because I think I'll be shooting for something a little higher. But figuring that out will be a good problem to have that I look so forward to!
    4/23: DNW Walk/Bike✅ Water✅ Calories✅ I'm still not weighing. I can just tell I will weigh more after eating chili for days. I didn't cook any dry beans and used canned, so full of salt. I ate at maintenance for a couple of days, and then my lower calorie range the past 2 days. I'm going to weigh tomorrow and hope to still see the 160's.
    I reread my post from yesterday and it sounds like I'm saying I could now wear the summer clothes from 7 or 8 years ago - I WISH! I was trying to say ;) how small they look, and they do not fit me yet, and do I even want to get that small again. I think a lot of people have a certain weight that's stuck in their head as their ideal weight to get back to. Mine is 115, which is what I weighed when I wore these clothes. I need to reevaluate that when I get closer because I don't think I'll want to go that small again. We shall see....
    4/24: 168.8 Bike✅ Water✅ Calories✅ I am so happy to see this number this morning. It's been 7 weeks today that I started my 100-day binge-free and sugar-free challenge. I've lost 11 pounds. That's 1.5 pounds per week. I had just binged for 2 days prior to starting the challenge on March 6 so lost the first 2 pounds of water weight fast, so it's more like 1.3 pounds per week, either way I'm extremely happy. My calorie cycling weekly average was 1350 even with a few maintenace days averaged in. I rowed, biked or walked most days. And I feel so much better! I have definitely learned from all of you that losing weight is not a down-hill hike, you have valleys and hills, and booby-traps the entire journey. :)
    4/25: 169.0 B) Bike✅ Water✅ Calories✅ I've eaten on the low end of my calorie range for the past 3 days. I'll go for the higher end for the next few days. I'm going to make succotash today. It was the meal my Grandmother always made us - with cornbread and cole slaw, of course. :) I froze a little ham to pull out as a starter for beans. Then I just add corn and lima beans. That's it. I cook it down a lot. I just love it but I'm sure this goes way back to my Grandmother making it.

    4/22: DNW
    4/23: DNW
    4/24: 168.8
    4/25: 169.0

    4/26: 169.6 :p Ugh! Bike❎ Water✅ Calories✅ On a positive note, I haven't jumped back to the 170's. I wish I had not weighed for a few days like I've done recently. I like not having to watch the up and downs. I did think I would drop today. However, my average calories have been too low for the past 4 days. I had planned to go to the higher end of my calorie range yesterday, but didn't. I end up doing IF unintentionally by not eating until Noon because I'm not hungry in the mornings and I stop eating at 7pm. I'm also finding that I get full faster since I've been binge-free for 50 days (who is this person??!) So, I do wonder if the too few calories is affecting my weight dropping, or the soup I made yesterday may have been considered high carb?? and it's water weight. Or too much salt in the chicken broth (it wasn't low sodium). I'm going to make sure I do eat at my higher calorie range the next few days. I ended up making soup instead of succotash. I used very lean stew beef I bought from a local farmer. I added lots of celery because it was starting to go bad so used the entire stalk, potatoes, kidney beans, lima beans, corn, carrots, tomatoes and chicken broth. It was 156 calories per cup. I tried an alternative flour for the first time to wheat flour to make cornbread muffins for my husband. He doesn't eat wheat. He said they were good. I didn't eat any :)

    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!
    100-day Binge-free Challenge starting March 6…
    *=1 successful day / ⭐=10 successful days / ^=1 oops Day
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐*

    100-day Sugar-free Challenge starting March 6…
    *=1 successful day / 💚=10 successful days / ^=1 oops Day
    💚💚💚💚💚*

    Breaking the salt habit (replace with spices and herbs) starting April 16. Plan: 10 days 1/2 tsp, then 10 days 1/4 tps, then 10 days 1/8 tsp, lastly no added sugar (maybe?)
    ✳= 1 day 1/2 tsp added salt / ✴= 1 day 1/4 tsp added salt / ☑= 1/8 tsp added salt / ^=1 oops Day
    ✳✳✳✳^^✳✳✳^
    I decided to start at 1/2 tsp for 10 days because I was having a hard time getting started. To my surprise, I've had salt left over each day - yay!

    100-Day Weight Tracking to remind me that fluxations are normal and that you can stay at a certain weight for days/weeks but it will eventually come off - so be patient and stick with the plan!

    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. 😊

    4/22 218.9/218.3 - 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.

    4/22 200.2 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.

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

    4/22
    4/23
    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.

    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.

Today is my son’s hair appointment. I usually take him to lunch afterward. I think I will do a drive-thru for him and eat my own low calorie/low carb meal at home. I got the phone results from my bloodwork taken last week (Quest). My glucose (of course) is very elevated (no exact number given yet) but the rest looks good. I will pick up a copy with full details when I take my son for his appt Thursday.

    @clprieur is there anyway to make your commute better and work for you? Could it be an opportunity to exercise or stretch (balancing on the train or small dumbells or resistance bands on the bus)? I used to use my hour commute to focus intently on my posture and practice neck stretches. The only time of day when there was nothing better to do but that was something that really helped me feel better.

    @pezhed You mentioned water weight I think. I know I drank at least a gallon yesterday so when I went to bed last night, I weighed myself. 132.0! I peed out FOUR POUNDS overnight!!! to be 128.0 this morning!

    I guess I will stick with Jenny food for now, as I still have a few days left, but I am also thinking that I could start prep-cooking again, which may be a bit more “healthy” as I can decide for myself what to put in my body.

    What is Jenny food?
    And my gosh! That’s a long commute! My longest was 45 minutes. The only bad part was it was in a different time zone so several times I ended up at work an hour early. 😬

    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.
