    @Scallyboo - Snacking while the dogs are out? I used to snake while the baby bottle was warming. It was amazing what I could consume.


    YES! sounds ridiculous when you say it like that but I can put away a fair amount of calories in the length of time it takes the dog to wee :):):)

    5/8. 139.4 - a wonderful walk to Llandudno, along the promenade to Happy Valley at the bottom of the Great Orme, a Coronation cream tea and then back; 11.6 miles. 80% exercise calories eaten back. Today is as forecast to be wet wet wet all day, not a pleasant journey home ahead 🥲, still, we've had the most amazing couple of days so can't grumble.

    First, congratulations on your achievement, @musicsax ! Losing - and keeping off - 66 lbs takes effort, persistence, perseverance, and will power 🥳🎉

    But second, it sounds like you had a lovely day yesterday, despite the weather ☺️. I was curious about your Coronation cream tea … what is a cream tea, and was it made differently in honor of the Coronation?

    Cheers

    05/08 165.8 It just doesn't seem possible to weigh the exact same thing this many days in a row. B) It's an absolutely gorgeous day here in Maine. Blackflies are swarming here in the woods where I live, though, so I may go sit by the ocean (no walking, yet).
    Hi @mkksemail I believe I saw a posting where you said you live in Maine. What part? I live about 15 miles inland from Ogunquit. I also think I read a post from @SModa61 about living part-time in Maine??

    Well hello, neighbor, @fmfdfa2020 🙋🏻‍♀️🤗!

    I’m in Portland 😄. The last three weeks have been awwwwful, haven’t they!? Ugh hate mud season sooo much 🤪. Gorgeous this weekend tho, and today again! Yayyyyyy … winter is over, finally? 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

    @SheilaBoneham The DEXAscan was fun. Results were actually so good that I have been googling whether or not they are accurate. The "AI" can be read about here https://www.dexafitboston.com/dexafitdx. RMR is Resting Metabolic Rate. It is supposed to be very similar to BMR but easier to calculate/obtain. RMR is done in a rested fasted state, no exercise 24 hr prior, and no stimulants (plus few other parameters). As for the AI, I am glad I did it out of curiosity, but, in my case, I am not sure that I gained that much from it.

    Results:
    RMR was 1469 and was deemed 19% above what would be calculated for me based on ht, wt, gender, age. So that was nice news and might explain when I target 1430 for my daily calories, I lose weight.
    Harris-Benedict predicts BMR of 1234.9
    Mifflin St. Jeor predicts BMR of 1151
    I am curious what number MFP thinks is my BMR. Is there a place for me to look?

    From the DEXAscan, my body fat was 28.2% (suggests I aim for 25%, but wondering if they are keeping age in mind), visceral fat was .46 lb, android/gynoid ratio was 0.68 (want <1.0 and ideal is .6 - .8), and total bone mass is 4.7 lbs. It does suggest that I gain 4 lb in lean muscle mass, and not surprisingly, I do have some asymmetry.

    For my bone density, T-score was 1.00 (ie one standard deviation above the bones of an average healthy 30 year old female, 84th percentile), and z score was 2.3 (ie 2.3 standard deviations above the bones of average healthy woman my age, 98.93th percentile).

    From the DEXAFit DX AI, I got that I have a .3/100 risk of Heart disease, a body Comp score of A+, 38/100 risk of type 2 diabetes, and a longevity score of 95 years.

    I guess we need to re-examine our financial plans so I don't outlive our money. :P

    Congratulations on such great results, @SModa61 ! Fascinating 🤗

    @fmfdfa2020 Yes, indeed, I now start splitting my time between Maine and Mass until about the second week of September (Of course DGS #2 coming in August might impact that :smile: ). I am downtown OOB, and we keep a boat at the mouth of the Saco river.

    As for protein powders, the one that I use is Quest. Peanut butter is my fave, but I have bought several of the flavors.

    @SModa61 , DGS ?

    Congrat in advance, on the expansion of your family! 💖

    Projection/Actual
    5/8 211.0/ 215.7 - Let's just say the weekend was fun🙂 Now back to some serious business. 3 more days to this round. Just hoping to get back to the SW for the round at this point.

    @SModa61 ~ Congrats on your timing on that 5k - Nicely done. I use to walk/run 5k's but it's been a long time....

    @PaulyJoMomma ~ I experience those same loss & Gain trend that you speak of on 5/7. Very frustrating but it's just what my body does!

    Prior Days This Round
    5/2 213.1/213.8 ~ Not terribly surprised after the drops the past couple of days. All good. Got all my water in yesterday!! 🍎👌✅🚶🏽(for 5/1)

    5/3 212.8/215.6 ~ Oops, up 1.8 from yesterday. Normally this result would send me spiraling...but this is just how my body works... Fact: I did not eat/drink +5,250 above maintenance (3,500 equal 1 pound). Fact: I did eat/drink ~600 above by targeted calories. I did get all my water in! Tomorrow's another day.👌✅🚶🏽(for 5/2)

    5/4 212.2/214.9 ~ Headed back in the right direction. Missed my step goal. 🍎👌✅(for 5/3)

    5/5 211.5/214.2 ~ Today is Cinco De Mayo. Husband wants Mexican and Margaritas. 😲😮🤭. Going to be a tough one but I'm going to try to stay at my calorie budget. I have a salad planned for lunch which comes in at 300 calories. That leaves me plenty of room for a (one) margarita and a chicken taco meal. That leaves me with 45 calories to spare. Oops, forgot the chips and guacamole. 🤞🏽 I think I will go for an extra walk at lunch today!🙂 🍎👌✅🚶🏽(for 5/4) 👌✅🚶🏽(for 5/5)

    5/6 211.2/215.7 ✅🚶🏽
    5/7 211.1/ 215.3 🍎

    @enlightenme3 Just put those bananas in the freezer unpeeled and save them for another baking session.

    @lunalovefool et al- can someone explain the logic behind weighing AFTER you workout rather than before? Or when you roll out of bed in the morning?

    @penguinstuff - Up, down - such is the merry-go-round of life! Hang in there!!

    @SModa61 - Congrats on the run! Hope your back is okay!

    I’ve read to the top of page 15 but need to get ready for water fitness. Then shower and go help (teacher/librarian) daughter at school book fair so may not be back until much later.

    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 6 years with amazing results!

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

    SW RND 222 128.0

    5/2 128.0 No access to scale after TMI
    5/3 127.0 Had gluten free toast and gluten free (brown rice flour) pasta yesterday. Lots of carbs but waiting to see if my knees start to hurt. Tonight maybe Mexican restaurant with family. DGD#2 flies back to Iowa tomorrow.
    5/4 128.5 Not surprised. Last night’s Mexican restaurant CHIPS followed high carb pasta from the night before. I woke up at 3:12AM and couldn’t get back to sleep. DGD leaves at noon.
    5/5 128.0 DGD finally got home about 1:30AM Iowa time. Delayed flight from LAS to DEN caused her to miss connection and she had to wait several hours for the (rebooked) new flight which was also late. Then an hour drive to her home after waiting for her suitcase. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

    *** A word to anyone flying in/out of Las Vegas. Apparently they are working on a runway until late July and this is causing delays on arrivals and departures.

    5/6 126.5
    5/7 127.0 Yesterday was a good day so maybe the vinegar salt. At least I haven’t been awakened by foot cramps the last two nights!

    I don't really know about the exercise part, I just know that I prefer to weigh in the first thing when I wake up (on an empty stomach) to make sure the starting point is pretty much the same everytime. Makes it easier to compare. If I weigh in 13 hours after my last food intake, it's always going to be less than if I weigh in after drinking 2L of water and eat a full dinner first. I guess you would maybe weigh less after a workout if you worked out on an empty stomach and sweat out some fluids before stepping on the scale, but I don't really see the point in that. I leave that for competitive athletes and Kardashians haha :D

    (Lowest weight 171.2~March 17, 2019)▪RETROSPECT▪This is the point when I looked too bony to myself. I purposely wanted to gain back 10lbs. I'd lost 89lbs in a little over a year, but I thought it was too fast, even though it didn't seem fast during the process!

    @schmoyew Is your daughter going to be 1? DGGS will turn 1 on 6/25. His fuzzy baby hair was shaved off yesterday. Someone said what grows in will be less fuzzy. 🤷‍♀️

    Yes she's going to be 1... the days are long but the months are short!g2qjzg4kgc7p.jpg

    @schmoyew Beautiful!

    To the weighing after exercise question, Sometimes it's nice to weigh before and after an exercise where I expect to sweat a lot so I know how well hydrated I am. 6 lbs lost after a gym session means I was extremely well hydrated before the exercise and need to drink it all back. Too little sweat meant I was probably dehydrated before the exercise and helps me see that's why my performance was lagging and reminds me again to drink more water.

    Round 222 - RSW-238.4lbs / RGW-237.4lbs

    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!

    History:
    RND 221 SW: 239.2
    RND 222 SW: 238.4

    Day, Weight, Comment

    5/2 - 238.4 - Today is a celebration day, but that just means ice cream for dinner instead of dinner + ice cream! I also want to try and go for a 2.5 mile walk tonight to the cafe (and uber back!).
    5/3 - Forgot to weigh :(
    5/4 - 234.4 - Hmm, down again? Or is my scale still being weird? I do feel less bloated today. I think that avoiding flour & rice products is helping a lot.
    5/5 - 234.2 - Still not sure about the scale. This weekend I'll try a different one somewhere to be sure. I do feel less bloated though so maybe I'm down in water weight? Today is Cinco de Mayo so I'm going to have some junky type foods but I'll be reasonable about it. Don't want to get puffy and no booze!
    5/6 - 234.3
    5/7 - 233.9
    5/8 - 235.3 I'm pretty sure my scale is broken... going to buy a new one! I'm probably more like 239

    @huango @quiltingjaine thanks!

    @itladyee thanks, and you are ahead of me. I did not run until second year pandemic. Only did a little and then quit (long story). Now trying to pull myself together! :)

    @tishawj i got my mammogram this afternoon too. Now sitting in parking lot did annual physical. Hope your results are good!

    @mkksemail portland ME is such a nice city! DGS = darling grand son :)

    @lunalovefool key to weighing is consistency. I weigh first thing in am. Hubby weighs after coffee or after exercise depending on his day.

    5/8. 139.4 - a wonderful walk to Llandudno, along the promenade to Happy Valley at the bottom of the Great Orme, a Coronation cream tea and then back; 11.6 miles. 80% exercise calories eaten back. Today is as forecast to be wet wet wet all day, not a pleasant journey home ahead 🥲, still, we've had the most amazing couple of days so can't grumble.

    First, congratulations on your achievement, @musicsax ! Losing - and keeping off - 66 lbs takes effort, persistence, perseverance, and will power 🥳🎉

    But second, it sounds like you had a lovely day yesterday, despite the weather ☺️. I was curious about your Coronation cream tea … what is a cream tea, and was it made differently in honor of the Coronation?

    Cheers
    - mk :) (Maine/US)

    Cream tea is a scone with jam & clotted cream (some people have butter too, but not me) and traditionally tea is drunk with it, but I always have coffee. There was nothing different for the Coronation, but we had it as our own celebration!! I always have my jam on first and then cream on top, but in other parts of the UK people have the reverse!!

    I finally discovered my local grocery has clotted cream and double cream! I made some scones (I ensured it wasn't an Americanized recipe though I can't say how accurate they are to the real deal over in the UK), bought some delicious jam, and IT IS SO GOOD! I tried it with cream then jam but that's simply because I had opened the cream first to taste it by itself so I went ahead and spread it on first. I'll have to switch it up and see if it changes in taste.
    Cream tea sounds delightful, I might have to have my own little cream tea. I will usually have a tea as a late morning treat and, if needed, an afternoon pick-me-up anyway.

    I’m tapping into the hive mind, please…. My insurance offers a discount on activity trackers, so I’m thinking of getting either a Fitbit or a Garmin, a more basic model. I’ve never had one. Thoughts from those of you who do on what features you’ve found useful, and your satisfaction with your device? Thanks!

    RND 222

    HW: 175

    SW this round 161.2

    Goals This round: It's gonna be a busy week. Gym 3 times at least. Extra steps wherever possible. Prioritize water and sleep.

    5/2 DNW
    5/3 161. 6
    5/4 162.6 UGH. Wrong direction wrong direction. It's stress, poor sleep, not enough water more stress, and lack of time to exercise. Eating has been fine, and possibly even not enough. But I am super stressed, bloated, and icky feeling. This might not be the round I see 150s after all, which will be pretty disappointing.
    5/5 161.8
    5/6 DNW
    5/7 159.4 Pretty ecstatic that I am finally hitting this on a day after the absolute busiest, most stressful week I have had in a long time. I didn't fit in exercise other than tons of steps naturally through my busy-ness. But I planned my food as best as possible and prioritized myself in getting what my body needs. So happy and ready to keep working my way down the 150s.
    5/8 159.8 Slightly up but in a totally normal way. Don't think I will make it to the gym much in these extremely busy next few weeks but hope to continue focusing on food and getting more walks in.
    5/9
    5/10
    5/11

    Total lost this round:
