Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 221

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 221 (my 152nd). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine you are a star!
Back from a week away, tomorrow I will weigh in, first time since we went away. Goal for this round; any loss and keep binge free, not going to 100 days, starting small just going for 10, surely, I can make 10? This time!! Be mindful when I’m tempted! Keep within calories & macros. I can do this but, consistency is paramount, let’s do it for just 10 days as the reward is great!!Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 130. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

4/22 DNW – we travelled back home today after our week away, see what damage there is on the scale tomorrow.
4/23 140.8 – 7.95 miles walked, got a walk in after getting home & unpacking the caravan. Then some gardening to tidy it up after a week away, the weather was so nice, it was lovely to bring it back to scratch!! Lawns are now cut, edges tidied, weeding done before ran out of time. Dead heading still to be done. My first goal now this round is to get back below 140. Today we have a sibling’s lunch, all 6 of us plus partners, I get to see DB for the first time after his stroke 6 days ago, so pleased he’s agreed to still come, a positive step! Also meet DS’s new man for first time!! Going to be mindful and eat sensibly.
4/24 140.8 – 6.13 miles walked yesterday, all but 39 exercise calories eaten back. Really lovely siblings lunch yesterday, chose pesto & asparagus tagliatelle with grilled chicken, no desert but did indulge in a latte. DB is doing amazingly, he looks well, but words come out mixed up or he has difficulty thinking of the second half of the word, can’t really imagine myself what that feels like? It is an improvement as initially he couldn’t speak at all. He is positive, keeping cheerful & we are all convinced he will get that back, he does feel like his legs have been cut off whilst he can’t drive, but 3 weeks only left of that curfew. Thank you all for your kind wishes for him.
4/25 140.4 – 9.97 miles walked yesterday. 2/3rds exercise calories eaten back, feeling positive.
4/26 139.2 – 10.65 miles walked yesterday, a quarter of exercise calories eaten back. This rounds first goal met, now to both stay below the 140’s cuz after such a whoosh it’s bound to bounce up a tad tomorrow & stay binge free for the rest of the round – 5 days to go!
4/27 140.4 – 11.55 miles walk yesterday, 90% exercise calories eaten back, some of those were Easter egg chocolate, but I avoided going into a full binge.

Good Morning!
My whyI 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 round4/22 -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 221.8
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!

GIVE 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!

SW: 130.0
Day/Weight/Comment
4/22 – 130.4 Last night, I just…needed….something…..more. Was not feeling like embracing the slight hunger of evening. I did track it all though, and came in around 2000 calories total (even tracking is still only best estimates). Combined with my activity for the day, I doubt it explains a true gain. So we shall see.
4/23 – 130.4 Again, total calories purportedly good, but I did make some poor selection making up those calories. On top of it, I feel “big” today. Will eat cleaner today and see how that all settles out tomorrow.
4/24 – 129.6 Back to the weight I saw during late round 220. Looks like I am in a slow moving patch. Yesterday, calories were good (1534), walked 6.5 miles formally, played over an hour of doubles pickleball. Just seems like getting into the 120’s and staying will take concentration. Today will have its challenges. We leave Thursday and pantry and fridge need reductions, so grocery shopping is minimal and balance of meals is less optimal, even when I am making a good effort. Then on top of it, Hubby wants Thai food one last time before we leave. That is tonight (then Chinese with his mother on Thursday…..). Just need to do my best for the round. If I am careful, I should be under 130 on May 1 like I am hoping.
4/25 – 130.8 I would have bet money on that! :P Pad Thai for dinner. Exercise was good. I did my 3 laps (6.5 miles) and later in the day, as a test, I got on the spin bike. Just 11 minutes. But I wanted to test my Florida shoes with my Neuroma, and they were great. I know my shoes up north are different. Now, when I get there, if I find them uncomfortable, I know the exact shoes to replace them with. Northern exercise will be a change. I do not have a walking group. That will actually help me to diversify, which a truly need to do (group walks much slower than I prefer). Have today’s food all planned out. Fridge is close to empty. More packing and cleaning today, and starting to load the Florida car (we switch at MIL’s – my Friday task)
4/26 – 130.2 Round and round we go, where it will stop nobody knows. :P Calories were good enough. Choices are still associated with emptying the fridge. Got two laps in before the sky opened up (happy for the Keys, the rain is needed), and did another spinning test drive. Today ends with pre-tracked pizza.
4/27 – 129.6 I saw this number in round 220. I saw it 3 mornings ago. Secretly, based on its earlier viewing, I was hoping 221 would be kinder, but all in all. I am just hoping that I see it on May 1. In 4 hours, I have to have the condo cleaned, closed up, car packed, and we will start out journey north. Tonight is challenging Chinese food with my MIL. The good is I have planned and pre-tracked my food for my travel days, Sat and Sun.

Lately, I have been bombarded with facebook cottage cheese ice cream videos. For anyone intrigued, this link shows the concept (google search). Key comment I have read though is to keep the cottage cheese flavor profile in mind. In other words, some combos are better than others, and think about what flavor ice cream would also be good as a cheesecake. That is supposed to help. Not sure I'm going to do it (or certainly not until I get home). But if anyone does. Update us.

Joining late this round!
SW Round 221: 126 (4/24)
4/22 - DNW
4/23 - DNW
4/24 - 126! I am really off the rails here. 4 full pounds above my maintenance range. We booked a beach vacation for Memorial Day week this morning so I am hoping to use feeling good in my bikini as a motivator to get back on track. I spent the weekend away from the challenge because I did a brief digital detox. In the process I realized how bad social media is for me, so I am going to stop it all together for a while. MFP doesn't fall in the same category as TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.
4/25 - 123, phew. That was a lot of water! Fasted most of the day yesterday and just had two light meals between 4 and 8 after doing a Peloton ride and dog walk. I doubt I'll make it as long fasting today but I might have lunch a little late just to avoid snacking. I'm making pork chops and sugar snap peas for dinner tonight. My first time making pork chops since I didn't eat most meat for a long time. I mostly just hope my kids will eat it. They're getting pickier by the day. And I'm sneaking out at lunch time for my first hair cut in approximately two years. It's gotten so long that I wonder if I'll lose a pound of hair
4/26 - 123 again. That's better than I expected TBH. Still might see a gain tomorrow after the dinner/drinks I had last night. We had an impromptu dinner out after my husband's brand new ebike broke when he was commuting home and messed up our pork chop plans (if I cook I need him to do daycare pickup; the kids cannot make it to a late dinner on a weeknight after daycare). I didn't make the best choices, but I did stop eating when I realized I didn't like my food very much. BUT then the snackies hit when we were watching TV. I at least tried to track it, but I went way over my calorie goal. Today will be better!
4/27 - 122.6 I think, I don't know why I can never remember by the time I post. Guess the madness in the morning with the two little kids. I should start jotting it down. Big day at my house - our kitchen remodel will finally be complete! We got new floors which have been done for a while, but we knocked out a wall and replaced it with a countertop on one side/breakfast bar on the other. The cabinet and new lighting has been in place for a while but we've been waiting for the granite to be installed. It comes today! Then I can finally put stuff in the cabinet, including my crockpot and instant pot which are currently not very accessible despite fairly frequent use. I'm excited! We're also having our house cleaned, which will be nice but I have to run around the house and tidy up for the cleaner. DH and I are not very tidy to begin with. Add a 2 and a 4 year old and you just get an absolute hurricane. We're also in the process of updating our toy organization so that the kids will hopefully be able to help put toys away but ugh. Who knew how much stuff a family of 4 could accumulate?

Here for another round! Would really like to dip into the 160's by May 1 so this is the perfect round to do that. I'm really finding I do best the days I get outside for activity, we have an EP area with tonnes of trails near our house and I was really consistent getting out for a hike 4-5 times a week in the winter and for some reason I've had a harder time motivating myself to go that way when we leave for our walk in the morning, not sure why. So I'm going to challenge myself to not go two days in a row of not hiking this round.
Female - 51yrs - 5'5"
Goal weight - to hang out somewhere 145-150
R220 EW 4/21 - 170.8
4/22 - 171.0 - little blip up. I started feeling the TOM bloat yesterday and still a bit puffy this morning, hopefully it will flush out as TOM wraps up over the next day or so. It's pouring out, and not supposed to let up, so I might be starting this round with a non hike day, but we went yesterday. I know I can hike in the rain, but I really don't want to bathe the dog after LOL...he's curly haired and holds onto EVERYTHING when he gets wet.
4/23 - 172.2 - bleh! Yuck day yesterday...icky walk in the rain, grey and dreary, no motivation...except to make cookies for the boys...which of course required quality control. I know I didn't eat over 3500 calories in cookies though (probably only 500-600) so it's likely just retention shock from the carbs and sugar my body isn't used to anymore. Finishing my coffee and heading out to the woods for a hike since I missed it yesterday.
4/24 - 171.2 - back in the right direction. Got my hike in yesterday and stayed away from the cookies. Plan is to do the same today.
4/25 - 170.4 - Excellent! Proud of myself for actually going for a hike in the drizzle yesterday! Was going to do another today but Hubby asked me to help with some errands this morning so I don't have time before we need to leave. We will get a quick walk in and maybe another this evening. Calories and logging were good yesterday as well, so far so good this week! If I keep this up I'll definitely be dipping into the 160s!!
4/26 - 169.8 - YES!!!! now to keep it under 170!! Need to make this a quick one...gotta get out for our hike early so we're back in time to take the doggo to the vet for his annual stuff.
4/27 - 170.4 - Looks like I'm stradling 170 before I settle firmly into the 160's...at least I know I've got it in me. Blaming this one on the roast potatoes last night, should have just avoided them all together instead of having a small portion then wanting more. Hubby is at one of his golf course gigs this morning and I have nothing on the calendar...it's sunny (but cool) so Mack and I are heading to the woods...might try a new trail and hopefully not get lost.

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.

2nd goal for mid-August.
Appreciate all your support.
Just got back from great vacation in NYC.

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.

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 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.
4/26: 169.6 Ugh! Exercise❎ 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

5/01: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.100-day Binge-free Challenge starting March 6…

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.

4/22 - 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!

4/27: 131.2 - Will see if this holds or not. I don’t tend to eat too much on travel days (yesterday) because I am a slightly nervous flyer. However, overall I’m pleased that 8 days of not tracking, eating out, snacking, and drinking (moderately) haven’t resulted in a HUGE gain. I did do some modest walking on some days, and the last 2 days went back to my Jazzercise routine. Eating however was lots of carby things and I’m sure pretty low protein, high fat.

SW this round 163.2
Goals This Round: Increase water and steps.
4/22 161.6 I cannot believe I am so close to seeing 150s!!!!!!!!!!
4/23 162.0 No surprise here. We went out for ramen last night and that is definitely the extra sodium and carbs doing their thing. It was a much planned for and highly anticipated meal, and totally worth it.
4/24. 162.6 I made a huge Sunday dinner for my extended family last night and let myself enjoy it. Don't feel like I went crazy though. I have my meals all planned out for the next few days and should make it to the gym at least 3 days this week, plus pickleball at least twice. Going to try to drink tons of water today to help flush out the extra sodium from weekend foods. Also going to add an extra treadmill mile or possibly a walk outside to hit 10,000 steps today. I would reeeeeally love to see a 150’s number this week. It's been a very long time.
4/25 162.0 Heading back in the right direction! Busy day today. Not making it to the gym but playing pickleball tonight and steps should happen.
4/26 162.2 Who knows. Probably not enought water yesterday since everything else was good. Heading out for a walk before taking my kid to a play.
4/27 162.6 Playing the up and down game today I guess! I know fluctuations are normal, but I am going to eat on the lower end of calories today to prepare for this weekend since we have a 3 day dance competition starting tomorrow.

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!
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

I had to go look for the post as I had no idea what a sugar bomb was. I thought it was the opposite of a fat bomb. I got it wrong…..
Anyhow, relating to your latest post @PaulyJoMomma in going to address daily weighing. This is often a topic here on mfp and certainly was a topic during my 12 years working for ww. My advice to anyone is that one should assess weighing frequency in the context of one’s response. Given an up can be triggering for you, you might want to consider a different pattern than every day. For me, I need the daily weighing to keep my
eye in the target. Think about what is most helpful to you, no answer is wrong.8 -

Tish, I have been using KetoMojo device since about 6 months after I started low carb. I find the blood sugar readings extremely accurate-you can look at the averages of the readings easily. (It’s in the manual) I checked my 3 month average before my last blood draw because I knew there had been some “bad” days - at least bad for me. The doctor checks my A1C every 6 months and the meter has never had it wrong. I can tell you that my ketones fluctuate with what I have eaten. They were at some absurdly high number a week or so ago the morning after bread, chips, and ice cream sandwich! I order from
https://bestketonetest.com
The customer service is excellent. I don’t think I get anything for referring you except maybe a “thanks.” My strips are set up on auto delivery and if I need to change it, it’s easy. They are the best!
On the other hand, when I contacted KetoMojo way back in the beginning, they would do nothing to assist me except to tell me I didn’t buy my meter from them. I’m almost positive it WAS thru them via Amazon.
BKT all the way!

@SModa61 I could NEVER agree with the WW policy of once a week weighing. My original meetings were at 7PM. That was such a variable weight! But only that meeting unless I drove 45 miles.
On the other hand, I’ll be on a cruise ship for 2 weeks with NO SCALE! It makes me a basket case!2 -

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!

Projection/Actual
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.
Prior Days This Round4/22 218.9/218.3 - 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
