    8/26 Yesterday was a really good day! BUT …The heat has WORN ME DOWN…it’s been between 110-115° (heat index) all week. Today will be same.

    I’m proud of myself for deciding to eat more calories… And trusting that information. Yesterday I only walked 8k steps but burned 800 exercise calories. (long tennis match). I had my usual egg breakfast and then for a late lunch I had a chicken breast/tomatoes/cucumber/Greek yogurt salad that was actually, pretty tasty. I knew I was strong —headed into the party last night…

    Oh my WHAT a spread! Luckily, there was so much protein to choose from (Beef tenderloin and smoked salmon) I wasn’t too tempted by the charcuterie, cheeses, pimento cheese, chaffing dips, (Although I did have one taste of the hot crab meat!) … I actually passed up the bread pudding, and doberge (sp?) cake! I even skipped alcohol! Skipping that land-mine was not difficult because it was so damn hot! (The bar was outside and it was just too hot to venture out… So I drank divine water and it was DELICIOUS!) So I was able to stay way under my net calorie goal because I had worked out so much… I feel great this morning! I probably had 6-8 oz of tenderloin, & 5-6 oz of the salmon, and I was good to go!

    I actually feel “light” this morning. I actually want to jump on the scale, but I’m not because I don’t want to take this feeling away. I’m more proud of yesterday than I am of anything the scale could possibly report! I’m going to stick to my plan…. DNW!

    I think what I’m most proud of about yesterday was knowing that I was going to the party and having a plan …. And I came out on the other side, feeling victorious instead of feeling defeated.

    One more quick note: The party last night: one of my lifelong friends (my age 65) threw a surprise birthday party for her 70yr boyfriend. She has been divorced for about 20 years, and met the love of her life two years ago. They are precious together. The party was so positive and uplifting! She was so happy! Seeing their joy has given me such a boost.

    It’s early yet I may stay inside all day or I may venture out… I’m looking forward to another good day!

    I always look forward to reading everyone’s post and each, and everyone of you inspire me… Good luck today!

    Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻

    8/25. No whoosh but I’ll take it. Not even a pound. But better ⬇️ than ⬆️. Thank God I’m not going to weigh till the 29th! I might even wait until the 31st. I know that I’m on my plan and so I’m just gonna stick with it. Yesterday I bought a protein supplement - I don’t think I’m getting enough calories or protein. I had a gorgeous piece of wild sockeye salmon last night for dinner so my proteins were enough yesterday. 12k steps…. 600+ active calories, (no tennis) keep moving. I don’t see myself doing any additional work until the heat gets back to normal. I have another competitive tennis match this morning, so the treadmill will once again be delayed.

    I’m thankful for so many things in my life… I just have to keep focused and control my thoughts. Going to a big party tonight so I’ll be prepared! Looking forward to seeing friends I haven’t seen in a long while.

    Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻

    I agree with @musicsax. This “page” is what YOU want it to be. Mine is as close to a journal as I’ve ever come and I’ve been doing (and saving) my posts since July, 2017.

    Congratulations to your DD!

    65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 233 (my 163rd). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, so grateful.
    Goal this round again is to get back under and stay under 138, I really don’t want to keep hovering around 140 pounds. Holiday is now in 21 days,3 weeks! I still need to crack on & lose a few more pounds, starting to get back into some holiday clothes, but can't let up: time is running out! So, 21 days, 2 rounds at a pound per week should get me better than I am, I’ve done it before so I can do it again if I knuckle down!! Really try to stay on track & do another complete round without binging. 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!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

    8/27 Yesterday: I hit my 1200 calorie goal. Enjoyed an excellent grilled shrimp salad last night. 500+ active calories. But only 8k steps. Stayed inside most of the day. Relaxed. I did have two small squares of dark chocolate. My husband said it wasn’t going to kill me.

    Oh, I did give up (suspended) IF when the temperature reached the 100+ (about 7 to 10 days ago…) I just felt like I needed food before I left for the tennis court. Once the temperature drops, I’ll return to I F.

    I’ll get my 10k steps today and will also complete 12–3–30. Routine going well.

    NSV: My hiking pants zip comfortably… Hoping they will fit PERFECTLY in 5 weeks! (Loose!) I’m feeling a whole lot better - more energy. It’s a huge difference.

    Part of my personal 🎢 Is that I have size 4 to 10 in my closet. Can anyone relate with multiple sizes? Can’t I just have two sizes in my closet? I was a single mom for 17 years, and I had closets full of MANY different sizes of clothes… I don’t want to live that way. All I want is max two sizes. My entire adult life I’ve had up to five sizes in my closet. I must embrace the FACT that staying fit is a personal commitment and takes a LOT of proactive actions. It will never come natural to me. But then my inner-voice tells me “never say never”.

    Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻

    8/26 Yesterday was a really good day! BUT …The heat has WORN ME DOWN…it’s been between 110-115° (heat index) all week. Today will be same.

    I’m proud of myself for deciding to eat more calories… And trusting that information. Yesterday I only walked 8k steps but burned 800 exercise calories. (long tennis match). I had my usual egg breakfast and then for a late lunch I had a chicken breast/tomatoes/cucumber/Greek yogurt salad that was actually, pretty tasty. I knew I was strong headed into the party last night…

    Oh my WHAT a spread! Luckily, there was so much protein to choose from (Beef tenderloin and smoked salmon) I wasn’t too tempted by the charcuterie, cheeses, pimento cheese, chaffing dips, (Although I did have one taste of the hot crab meat!) … I actually passed up the bread pudding, and doberge (sp?) cake! I even skipped alcohol! Skipping that land-mine was not difficult because it was so damn hot! (The bar was outside and it was just too hot to venture out… So I drank divine water and it was DELICIOUS!) So I was able to stay way under my net calorie goal because I had worked out so much… I feel great this morning! I probably had 6-8 oz of tenderloin, & 5-6 oz of the salmon, and I was good to go!

    I actually feel “light” this morning. I actually want to jump on the scale, but I’m not because I don’t want to take this feeling away. I’m more proud of yesterday than I am of anything the scale could possibly report! I’m going to stick to my plan…. DNW!

    I think what I’m most proud of about yesterday was knowing that I was going to the party and having a plan …. And I came out on the other side, feeling victorious instead of feeling defeated.

    One more quick note: The party last night: one of my lifelong friends (my age 65) threw a surprise birthday party for her 70yr boyfriend. She has been divorced for about 20 years, and met the love of her life two years ago. They are precious together. The party was so positive and uplifting! She was so happy! Seeing their joy has given me such a boost.

    It’s early yet I may stay inside all day or I may venture out… I’m looking forward to another good day!

    I always look forward to reading everyone’s post and each, and everyone of you inspire me… Good luck today!

    Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻

    8/25. No whoosh but I’ll take it. Not even a pound. But better ⬇️ than ⬆️. Thank God I’m not going to weigh till the 29th! I might even wait until the 31st. I know that I’m on my plan and so I’m just gonna stick with it. Yesterday I bought a protein supplement - I don’t think I’m getting enough calories or protein. I had a gorgeous piece of wild sockeye salmon last night for dinner so my proteins were enough yesterday. 12k steps…. 600+ active calories, (no tennis) keep moving. I don’t see myself doing any additional work until the heat gets back to normal. I have another competitive tennis match this morning, so the treadmill will once again be delayed.

    I’m thankful for so many things in my life… I just have to keep focused and control my thoughts. Going to a big party tonight so I’ll be prepared! Looking forward to seeing friends I haven’t seen in a long while.

    Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻

    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.

    We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

    SW Round 233 130.5
    8/20 130.0
    8/21 129.5 was 130 but had a cup of coffee and went back to bed for 2 hours. The tropical storm brought rain last night (much needed) and possible flooding which should be handled nicely by the flood channels.
    8/22 130.0 I wanted tacos last night so I made the seasoned meat and warmed some tortillas. I also wanted guac but my avocado isn’t ready. 😢 Too bad I didn’t have lettuce to make wraps instead of eating tortillas!
    8/23 130.0
    8/24 129.5 Yesterday was a good day. Hard boiled eggs,Italian sausage and asparagus. Snacked on sunflower seeds.
    **8/24 addendum Coffee with neighbor ladies yesterday and one of them treated us to lunch at Great Greek. I passed up toast and little Moonpies with my coffee and had a side salad and chicken skewer for lunch. Had a cup of coffee with cream about an hour ago. Handful (in the shell) of sunflower seeds. Water only now.
    8/25 129.0 Two good days in a row. Former next door neighbor will be here today through Sunday.
    8/26 DNW - Guest in house, can’t walk around unclothed. Community French toast breakfast in an hour. I will eat eggs, sausage and bacon (if it’s crisp.) I have considered just fixing a plate and eating it later since I don’t usually eat this early. I also have a bottle of champagne that I plan to take over as I’m sure there will be OJ there. I’m happy to share because otherwise I would just keep drinking it myself. I love champagne. No French toast for me. I’ve been eating carnivore the last few days and my fasting glucose is fantastic and ketones improving AND my knees quit hurting!
    8/27 DNW Yesterday was another good day. Today is Great Greek for early lunch.

    Part of my personal 🎢 Is that I have size 4 to 10 in my closet. Can anyone relate with multiple sizes? Can’t I just have two sizes in my closet? I was a single mom for 17 years, and I had closets full of MANY different sizes of clothes… I don’t want to live that way. All I want is max two sizes. My entire adult life I’ve had up to five sizes in my closet. I must embrace the FACT that staying fit is a personal commitment and takes a LOT of proactive actions. It will never come natural to me. But then my inner-voice tells me “never say never”.

    @Cchassee Yes Yes Yes! I know EXACTLY how you feel. I have a good 5 sizes too. All over the house. Two sizes in my bedroom and the rest upstairs hogging all the closets. Even the guest room dresser is full of carefully labeled clothing. Even in the attic (with easy access). I too am so tired of not trusting myself. I'm tired of putting myself in the position of NEEDING the bigger sizes again (from time to time). Two sizes SHOULD be enough for me. And that should be my current size and a size DOWN as I am on a plan and supposed to be losing weight (keeping the next size downready). It's so scary isn't it? Losing weight is definitely a mind game too. It's a battle. I say we can win the game, we can win the battle, we can win the War and slowly get rid of some of the larger clothing donating to those who really need them. I did say "SOME" didn't I? It's a start, right?

    @deepwoodslady AMEN! It’s ALL a battle of the mind… It’s THE hardest battle of ALL!!!
    Love your idea of retaining “my size” and one size SMALLER! I actually have nothing but smaller sizes right now because five years ago I got rid of ALL my larger sized clothes… Recently, on my latest climb of 🎢 “inching up” I caved and purchased a few larger sizes and I am just SICK over it! I am NEVER going to buy a larger size from this day forward!!!! NEVER!
