@jedaschultz so very sorry about your daughter's loss, and the loss of your grandbaby. Holding you and your family in my heart.

Also, I decided on lunch:

I have everything except the onion and chicken breast (substituting with the boiled thighs I have instead). I'll have enough for lunch tomorrow and Friday, too, as it shows this makes 4 servings. Yippee!

Looks delicious! 🤤

It was! I estimated a lot of things like the salsa and seasonings - I could've done with less salsa I think. BF hates, and I mean HATES sweet potatoes but he ate it because he didn't want anything else in this house, was hungry, and I was making it. He said it wasn't bad. If someone hates one of the main ingredients in a dish and they're content to eat it/don't absolutely hate it, I'm happy to say it was a winning meal!

@jedaschultz I'm sending all the love and hugs I can from Texas. You've been through it and back and I'm not entirely sure how you're hanging on, but keep hanging on and we will be here as best we can for you

Round 222
45/F/Indiana
Always welcome new friends
I am back to 173.0 - I've lost these 3 lbs about 5 times now, so now that I got that out of my system, the goal is to break out to the other side and get away from them for good! 160's I'm coming!!!
Goals: 100+oz water a day, 8k-10k steps a day, cardio 5x a week, strength 3x a week

5.2.2023 - 173.0 - Heading to the gym tonight. Started a new gym and I'm loving it! Plus I'm only paying half of what the old gym costs and this gym has way more. Win, win! Let's knock out these next 10 days!

5.3.2023 - 174.2 - well I ate too much last night, so there’s that. Ugh 😩 I couldn’t stop. But today has been better so far. It’s the evening time that gets me. Heading to the gym soon.

Back for another round. My goals for this round is to undo the effect of being out of town last round and to get back to where I was.

SW RND 218 152.4 lbs. EW 147.8 lbs
SW RND 219 148.4 lbs. EW 146.8 lbs
SW RND 220 146.6 lbs. EW 145.6 lbs
SW RND 221 145.0 lbs. EW. DNW (out of town)
SW RND 222 149.2 lbs

5/2 DNW Spent the day travelling home.
5/3 149.2 lbs. Wow! That is depressing! Hopefully that will come back down now I am home and logging properly. Also back to my no eating in the evening. I knew it was going to go up after being away for over a week but that is a very big jump! Why is it so much easier to gain than to lose!

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 222 (my 153rd). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine you are a star!
A good start to this round; back down under 140 this morning, so I aim to stay under this and hopefully lose another pound. I am fed up with repeating myself and berating myself for messing up, it’s time I really got back on track. After all I am what I eat in more ways than one, my whole demeanour is totally different when I am happy with myself!!

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.

5/1 140.8 - 6.95 miles walked. 242 calories over; yesterday there was lots of standing around, DH was having his last year's birthday/Father's Day gift of driving experience in Aston Martins, one of which was James Bond's iconic DB5 plus more modern Vantage. Hundreds of others there taking part too plus approx. 30 other elite high powered/classic cars, a brilliant experience for him, but as I say, lots of waiting around in queues. Disappointed with myself at the moment, I know I am what I eat; there is only me that has control of what goes into my mouth & I am ashamed that I have to keep saying that I need to get a grip. But on the positive side I am still here and still logging, today is the start of a new week, a new month, and I hope to make the next round really count.

RND SW 222 -

RND 222 SW – 139.8

5/2 139.8 – 9.45 miles walked yesterday, just over 50% of exercise calories eaten back.
5/3 140.4 - 9.23 miles walked, 85 % of exercise calories eaten back. A tad disappointed at the uptick over 140, but hoping it is just a normal fluctuation.
5/4 140.8 – 9.23 miles walked, 20% exercise calories eaten back, this must start a downward trend soon !! Happy Star Wars day !!

I was quite hungry today (had a terrible night’s sleep) so went over my calorie budget but I am glad it’s not reflecting in my weight. Going to work hard to stay on track today.

I'm going to join in. Personally I've had a bad two years and put on 70lbs, I am only 5ft 2".
I don't have a specific goal of pounds to lose this round, just want to get my 10K steps in per day and stick to my calories. Lets see how it goes....

02/05: 215.4lbs
03/05: 213.8lbs Had a good day yesterday. Drank my water and hit my 10k steps. Stayed within calories.
04/05: 213lbs Stayed within calories but didn't hit my 10k steps so I'm happy with this drop.

-
5/2 147.2 (trend 148.2) Yesterday I had a bit of a day off and just enjoyed myself. I met up with my mum, brother and his family, and we went to a village May Day fair as it was my nephew's 3rd birthday. I didn't have much control over what food and drinks I had as my brother brought a picnic for us all, so I had a big cheese sandwich, crisps, birthday cake, and coffee with sugar. Walking was at toddler-pace so didn't count as exercise! I did play football with my older nephew for a bit, which helped get my heart rate up at least. I'm fully responsible for getting home and eating a mini muffin and some Bournville though! Fresh start today, OH is away until next Thursday, so I have no excuses for overeating, being lazy, or skipping workouts.
I am determined to leave the 150s behind this round and never see them again!
STEPS 8,581

5/3 147.0 (trend 148.0) I had a slow morning, then made it out for a 6 mile hike. Arrived home really hungry but managed to avoid stuffing my face. I had a little snooze as I've been lacking sleep recently then went to the gym for a lower body session. Didn't manage to do my 3 minutes of planking at the end as I started to feel dizzy. I'm glad to see a drop on the scale, but to be honest I was expecting a bit more as I was well under calories yesterday. Maybe water retention from the training as it's been a week since I last did a leg workout.
STEPS 16,161

5/4 146.8 (trend 147.9) Had a day off the gym as it was sunny and lovely out so I went for a 9.5 mile hike instead. Feeling quite stiff today, I have no idea how @musicsax manages to do so much walking every day! Hats off to you! Calories below target but short on protein again.

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)
round 221 220.6 (+0.6) (normal after an extended fast)

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

RND 221 EW 220.6

5/2 Goal 219.3/Actual 219.8
Moving forward from the last round. I wasn’t able to fast yesterday because my stomach hurt. I wasn’t feeling well so my activity was low. I did work a full day. Today I will concentrate on drinking enough water & I will attempt to continue my fast. I am still behind. I guess I will see how I feel after my coffee & go from there.

5/3 Goal 218.6/Actual 219.4
Still not feeling great, I was up for 2 hours during the night with a very sore stomach. Hopefully this passes soon because I need energy next week to work since the weather will be better. I won’t fast when I am feeling crappy. I just don’t want the added discomfort but maybe it is exactly what my body needs to clear this gastrointestinal virus or whatever is going on. I don’t usually get stuff like this so I don’t even know how to deal with it. I know people usually resort to the BRATs diet for situations like this but none of that fits my macros. I feel like oatmeal would be soothing but I think it is more a comfort food which doesn’t work for my food is fuel new way of life.

5/4 Goal 218.3/Actual 219.2
Slowly, ever so slowly creeping down in the right direction. I slept through the night (thanks to gravol) but still feel nauseous this morning. I ate pasta yesterday which did make my stomach feel settled, but I would rather not eat that. I won’t fast again even though I have been behind for several days until I feel better. As long as the gap stays small I know I can catch up quickly.

5/02 - 157.0
5/03 - 157.8
5/04 - 157.3 - May the Fourth be with you! Cheese dropped but sodium didn't. I requested garlic mashed potatoes with my steak for dinner and had no idea just how much sodium gets put into it. BF uses the garlic salt (and claims it's 95% garlic, 5% salt when, in fact, it's the opposite...sigh, there's no convincing him otherwise). He put a ton of garlic salt on the steaks, the amount in the mashed potatoes made me want to gag, AND EVEN THE CORN. No wonder I'm always bloated! I'm not a salt person, either. I don't add it to anything, really so my cooking all day vs his cooking dinner is a huge difference. I'll need to pay more attention to those things going forward if I hope to avoid the bloat. I'm about to take the dogs for a walk this morning as my legs are very sore from yesterday's run up those hills. I'm thinking, if I have time, I'll do a quick morning yoga before I hop on work or I'll do some yoga at my lunch break before we head to Thirsty Thursday. Also a debate I'll have this morning: order a chicken wrap and make myself stop at 1/2 a wrap OR eat before I leave and hope I don't get munchy and order something because I'm the only one not eating while there. I'll log both and see the impact on my day before I decide. I think I'll skip drinks, if I can, while out. Especially since at this time, I'm not sure if we're coming home to cook or if we're going to Fam's to eat after.

Previous Day's Comments

5/02 - No worries -- DOMS and/or sodium. I know dinner had quite a bit of salt included in it so I'm not too surprised if it's that. Wouldn't also surprise me if my muscles were holding on to a little extra from yesterday after a week off from workouts. Just because I don't feel sore, doesn't mean I'm not retaining anything in that regards. I am exceptionally sleepy this morning. The dogs and I had a rough night (they had a rough night and being a light sleeper, I was dragged into it involuntarily). I think I'll focus on yoga today as my "strength workout" since I am so sleepy. Maybe a little wake up one this morning and a little bedtime routine to help relax me before I curl up to read tonight? I'll aim for both, but will certainly knock out this morning's. Hopefully, too, a nice after dinner walk to help add movement for both the dogs and I.
5/03 - Cheese, sodium, and BF sabotaged me hahaha!. He wanted to clean up the drink counter. There were 3 bottles with 1-2 drinks worth left in them. He had 3 drinks all night (small ones) and he made me a vodka soda (sparkling water - which I already had open to drink by itself prior to this brilliant clean up plan). I wasn't planning to drink, but I had the calories and I figured enjoying ONE with BF won't hurt. I had an unsweetened sparkling water, as usual, open but he prefers the sweetened. Only he discovered the sweetened ones taste horrible in his drink of preference so he took my unsweetened and gave me his sweetened one. Unfortunately, I realized just earlier this morning after researching - the sweetened sparkling water from HEB is artificially sweetened with sucralose. Between the cheese (which always causes bloat) from enchiladas last night, the alcohol (which disturbs my normal digestion), fizziness (which usually doesn't impact me in the small amounts I drink it but it could help contribute in this situation so I'm mentioning it), and then realizing that the artificial sweetener CAN indeed cause bloating or digestive issues, I'm not surprised I'm up. I look so bloated, especially at and below the belly button. I feel heavy in the intestine area, too. Unsure dinner tonight (hopefully healthier/more balanced) but I have leftover boiled chicken thighs. Thinking burrito bowl of sorts? I don't have much by way of veg (frozen potato/pepper mix I think) due to not being able to go to the store to stock up so I'm limited on including those. I'll figure something out that isn't terribly unhealthy. I do have one or two servings of fruit left to make my protein smoothie should I get hungry early enough after my run to have breakfast and not simply wait until lunch. If there are 2 servings, the other will be for Friday after my run. I'm off work Friday so I'll be headed to the store to stock up then and will likely need a breakfast that can hold me over until after my errands. Okay, it's bright enough for a run. 10 min run, 2 min walk, 10 min run and done today! Starting Friday it is straight runs, no walking breaks. Oof. Hopefully I can manage this (physically I've proven I can, mentally I struggle still). Once I'm back I'll catch up on all the posts I've missed between yesterday and this morning

It's been awhile but I swear this time I'm staying until I reach my goal...

Original Start Weight (4/20/2021) - 304
Lowest Weight (2/18/2022 ) - 193.1
Current Weight (5/4/2023) - 213.8
Round Goal Weight - 213.0

5/4/23 - 213.8 - I'm back and ready to be held accountable. While I work out daily and burn over 1,000 calories, my brain uses that as an excuse to snack and snack and snack. Obviously I'm not burning off all that I'm eating. My pants are tighter, my workouts aren't as good as they should be. Writing here keeps me in check. If my numbers go up, I have to show you all. I have to step on the scale every day. This morning I did a 30 minute Peloton ride and a 20 minute yoga. Tonight I'll walk the pups, get a quick strength class in and more yoga.

Round 222
May 2 – May 11, 2023

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

Goal for Round 222 – I want to start the process of transitioning to maintaining. While I would like to get to 126 (roughly weight at daughter’s wedding), I also don’t want just an “on” “off” switch. I’d like to finally start filling in the supplement section that I have claimed I was doing since February. And, I’d like to start expanding what I do for exercise. For a weight, I would like to end the round no higher than the nice surprise of 128.2 with which I started the round.

During this round, I have DEXA scan, BMR, and risk assessment on May 6th. Entering a chipped 5K on May 7th (not sure if walking or running, but I need do it to adjust my comfort zone). Mammogram on May 8th. Annual physical also on May 8th. Likely, all my annual blood work and such on May 9th. Then Dentist on May 11. A regular apmt except for it will be the first time seeing the dentist since starting Invisalign, which then includes me brushing, flossing, water picking, rinsing, etc, many many times a day. Going to be an informative round.

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!

Day/Weight/Comment

5/02 – 129.2 Had a visit with my friends Ben and Jerry, that I have not seen in 2023. Oh, well. The irony is that I was thinking how I would not buy this flavor again, as I finished the ice cream pint. I even thought how I could throw the rest away, but I ate it anyhow. The good thing is that I tracked it, and I stepped on the scale today despite knowing what was coming. The questions that come from this are 1) why did I allow myself to purchase it? It was on sale and was thinking I would find a day to make the ice cream work (just not yesterday) 2) why did I allow myself this stress response? Less than 24 hours from getting home we found out the master bathroom shower is somehow leaking through the walls into the basement and we are now facing getting a plumber and potentially wall repairs to our newly refinished bathroom after he gets done. Still, that is not an excuse and something to improve.

On a positive note, I did my first Massachusetts walk yesterday. Not super long, only 3.4 miles, but I had a great walking pace, especially since I have not seen a hill in ages (florida elevation gain during my walk is 7 ft, but yesterday was 208 ft). It also got my BPM up to a nice rate. Average was 132 BPM, with a high of 150+.

I swear that sharing with this group is like therapy!!

5/03 – 129.6 Yup, the ice cream sale was buy “2”. At least it is over and done with. Otherwise the day was really good. I finally used the Apple+ Fitness that we have set up. I did a 30 minute spin (but only at steady state) and then a 10 minute core (meh, I’ve had better). I am reset and ready for a great day today.

5/04 – 129.8 I need to stop this cycle. Yesterday was no exercise. Perpetual rain. I should have used the Apple +. I did not. Had perfect calorie day, until about 9 PM. Then I found M&M’s that my MIL had me bring from Florida to use in baking. Gone. Being home, I am getting scattered again.

Today, I am heading to my parents at the assisted living. Today starts my next 8 to 9 months of dealing with their hoarding. Getting involved in their financials, and dealing with estate and medical issues. In all that, I need to remember me, and to not resort to Netflix and eating as a stress relief.

Just finished dinner prep. Now heading to MFP diary to pre-track my day, and try to get some early morning exercise.

Late add: I got my butt outside in the cold cold drizzle and did a run/walk of the hilly neighborhood. Getting ready for Sunday and my baseline 5k.

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.

RND 222 SW

Goals: no ultra-processed food, added sugar, or dairy. Whole foods, plant-based Mediterranean diet mindset.
#1 Calories at max 2000 for 10/10 days
#2 strength train or yoga for 10/10 days
#3 drink 3 liters of water for 10/10 days

Previous day's comments:

5/2 130.6 calories over 2000 but lots of water and very little salt. Husband made braised lamb with carrots, potatoes, shallots, and garlic for dinner. It was incredible. I had seconds of all the vegetables. Today's focused goal is to not snack between meals or after meals. Let myself feel hungry and acknowledge it and wait for meal time.
5/3 130.0 Goals achieved yesterday even though my exercise was yoga for a few minutes here and there throughout the day. I like that way of doing it. It's easier for me than committing to a 30 minute session. 3.5 liters of water and calories just at 2000. I'm hoping for a bigger drop tomorrow when all this bloating should be gone. Baked sweet potatoes until they're mushy inside and then loaded with beans are the base of my diet right now. I wanted a sweet dessert so badly last night even though I was stuffed from dinner I couldn't finish my plate. Of course my second stomach was saying it had more room for dessert. I gave it a la croix and nothing else. Building habits takes so much time! I got into the WFPB habit after about 1.5 months, end of March to now, and it really is my new habit. So maybe another 1.5 months I can be out of the habit of wanting sweet dessert at night. I have to be strict with myself but I think it can be done. By June I could have a new habit of preferring tea to dessert. I can hope.

5/4 130.0 Goals achieved and I was able to do a home, quick paced, sweat dripping strength training session for 25 minutes before I quit. Intermittent yoga throughout the rest of the day because I didn't want to sweat again. Got ravenous before bed and ate too many dried apricots. I logged it this morning and my calories a day went up to 2000. Still made that goal! I know if I'd gone to bed earlier it wouldn't have happened. Staying up too late equals more time to get hungry.

Yesterday was great food wise, horrible weather/walking wise—cold windy rain. Still cold and wet this morning but hopefully drying up this afternoon and warming up the rest of the week.

5/03 - 182.4
Spring, please come back! I’m tired of the cold wet rainy days! I thought you’d be here by this morning, but…. Anyway, it should warm up this afternoon if the forecasters are correct and then I can go for a comfortable walk. But I have been walking the pup 30 min twice a day, and I’m definitely getting my walking mojo back.

5/04 - 181.8
Well, this makes me feel a bit better. I did snack last night (ice cream), but walked a good hour and did some garden work. No ice cream tonight!

Here we go again!! I've had 6 straight days under 170...but just barely...hoping to keep it that way and make the gap bigger. I think I'd like to start incorporating some strength training back into my activity routine. 6plus years ago I was majorly into kettle bell workouts, started having some issues with my elbow and shoulder and just stopped. I've got a whole set of them that my boys now use. This week I'm planning on carving myself out a space down there to give them a go again...starting slowly to make sure I get my form back.
Off we go friends! Make it a good one!

R221 EW 5/1 - 169.2

5/2 - 169.0 - mini drop! Heading north today for a job interview...looking to pick up something part time while I'm up at my parents place with my boys for their summer jobs. Still need to take the dog out for a walk and then figure out what I'm going to wear.
5/3 - 168.4 - was able to balance lower activity with good food choices yesterday. Interview went well (manager said they would have HR email me an offer this week) and I called about another sign I saw while I was up there and had another phone interview on the spot that was also great...I may have a decision to make. Still yucky, cold and damp outside, makes me want to sleep all day, but I'm going to get the Mackster out for a walk and then tackle the disaster that is the basement...it's boy territory and as much as they say they tidy it, it needs a good mom clean.
5/4 - 168.8 - nothing to worry about, normal fluctuation. Weather is finally taking a turn for the better! Off to the woods this morning to see how muddy we get after the last few days of rain!! Have a great day everyone - May the 4th be with you!!

RND 222:

5/02: 226
> Missed 221 cause I missed a couple of dates and didn't feel ok to start from the middle, but kept tracking daily. Food was ok, didn't miss a workout. Water is way up, barely any soda, just need to figure out my sleep as well somehow. But the goal this week will be to just keep maintaining those habits.

5/03:228.8
> I have no idea what that jump was. It was a good day overall. Proper food, proper workout, proper sleep.

5/04: 226.4
> Good day. Did some walking cause it's supposed to be a rest day. It's starting to get easier to stay on track.

Day, Weight, Comment
5/02 - 200.6
5/03 - 200.8 Not very happy with the last two days. A lot of depression going on. Found out Sunday that my youngest DD had a miscarriage. Very hard to have another loss after DH died Mar.9.
5/04 - 201.6 I’m rather surprised at this. Oh well, I will keep trying. Traveling today and tomorrow, going back to our previous home (we moved two years ago). DH and I played in a community band. The band has a concert tonight and is playing a piece in honor and memory of him. Taking both daughters with me and meeting lots of friends there. It will be an emotional trip.

Round 222!
I’m Amanda, 5’2” from Virginia

RGW: 122 (high end of maintenance range)
Non-scale goals:
⏱️ Intermittent fast >16 hours 7/10 days
💪🏻 Intentional exercise 7/10 days
✏️ track food 6/10 days

RSW: 123.6 (5/1)

5/2 - 123.2. 💪🏻✏️⏱️This week is so exciting! First, I love it when a round starts close to the beginning of the month, feels like a fresh start! Then I found out yesterday that my new cargo ebike has arrived at the bike shop and just needs to be assembled. And Thursday we close on the sale of our rental property and hopefully get our counters installed! Super exciting all around 😊 Trying not to get my expectations too high on any front but it’s hard not to!

5/3 - 123. 💪🏻✏️⏱️ My bike was ready yesterday! I jog/walked 4 miles-ish to the bike shop to pick it up yesterday afternoon. Riding it is a little tricky but I know I’ll get the hang of it. It’s awesome! On the negative side, the 2 year old popped a fever this morning which leads to a huge work/home life disruption. Thankfully I completed a big task at work yesterday so I can probably get by with minimal brain work today. My workout plans for the day are essentially out the window since any break I get from the kid will have to be for work. My mom is not able to come help because she has a hair cut and color tomorrow…which I find a little hard to comprehend but whatever. Priorities are priorities I guess.

5/4 - 123.6, ugh. I think I actually did okay on calories yesterday based on what I tracked, but all of my food was from restaurants, so probably retaining some water and possibly underestimating. We were in survival mode with the 2 year old home and having to work. Thankfully his fever was super brief so he's back at daycare today! I don't have to be so salty toward my mom now, hehe. I did my first daycare pickup on my new ebike yesterday and it was really fun. I'm not sure how much of a workout it is, but that is highly adjustable, just requires me to actively reduce the e-assist. I'm struggling with parking/the weight of it but hopefully that comes together because everything else is great. I have 30 days to change my mind. We closed on the rental property this morning, and the counters for our kitchen remodel seem to actually be coming this afternoon. Sorry for rambling on but it really feels like everything is coming together right now. I managed to squeeze in a 20-minute Peloton ride during DS's nap time and hope to do a little more today. Definitely going to walk my poor neglected dogs today now that the weather has improved.

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.
