1/27 - 191.6
Happy Saturday! Mine will be crazy, running to a friend’s house several times to let two of her dogs out while she’s off at a dog show with #3 and her hubby is driving one of the little Shriner cars at the circus all day. In between I’m going to take my first stab at a full groom of Charlie by myself. I show groomed Aussies for decades, but Cocker Spaniel coiffures are a whole new world, what with clippers. Eek! I hope I don’t butcher him too much. Wish me luck!
1/28 - 192.4
Salt. My calories were on target, but we ordered enchiladas for dinner and they tasted salty to me. It’s fine, I’ll just drink lots of water today. It’s snowing to beat the band right now, so other than a dog walk, I’m planning a cozy day at home. Enjoy your Sunday, all!
1/29 - 193
Yikes! 😳 Has to be delayed residual from Saturday. It’s ok, I’ll get rid of it.
1/30 - 192
I was planning a walk this morning, but it’s sleeting and there’s a thin layer of ice on everything, so guess my exercise will be some light cleaning, another stab at dog grooming, and then knitting—I’m making DH a sweater he requested (which he’s never done before) and have just one sleeve and the neck band to do. Then back to the cardigan I’m knitting for myself. 😊🧶
1/31 - 192.6
Sigh. But I did snack a little last night, so not unexpected. I haven’t completely finished trimming Charlie, but I did pretty well with his furry little face. 😊
2/01 - 192.6
I had a major calorie blowout yesterday so expected a spike—it will no doubt come tomorrow or Saturday. Back on track today.
2/02 - 193.4
Yep, there’s my binge on Wednesday. I expected it to show up. All good.
2/03 - 193
Still on track, and the binge bloat it coming off. Always shocking how long it takes. It’s cold and wet here today, so I’m probably staying inside. Off to my friend’s house to knit & chat together. I finished a nice wool sweater for DH yesterday, back to the pretty cardigan I’m knitting for myself. 😊

02/01 -183.4- (Trend weight 183.0)
02/02 -181.8- (Trend weight 182.8)Today is my typical late weigh-in for Friday. No TMI x 3 so that is a little worrisome. It was a good day yesterday. I stuck to my diet plan and did a moderate amount of exercise. I was in bed by midnight so I could get up for the school bus with DGS today. Midnight is much earlier than usual for me. That really kept me from the super late night snacking. Maybe I should get in bed earlier more often although that means giving up my “me” time. I’m a Netflix junkie. I tried weighing on my old scale today which I thought was broken. I kept it just in case it was a moisture thing etc. I moved it around in several places and the weight and fat % was consistent. It puts me at about 1.5 lbs. less than this new one. Which one do I believe? Of course, I want to believe the old one! For now, I will stick to this new one since I’ve already paid for it. But it made this beautiful sunny winter day in Michigan seem a little brighter today than I thought was possible. Happy Groundhog’s Day! It is reported that he did not see his shadow indicating an early spring. That never happens in my neck of the woods. Our last snowfall is usually in early May.
02/03 -182.6- (Trend weight 182.8) There was something in the house that was haunting me. It’s gone now. Up 0.8 today. I will be making soup for dinner. Homemade chicken noodle so there will be pasta. I will try to make the rest of the day accommodate that.

You're welcome. I'm glad the info was useful to you both.

Unless I eat fish, it's difficult for me to reach the low end of my daily protein goal, which currently is 93g. If I eat OMAD my protein intake really suffers.5 -

I am going to focus on eating 3 meals per day and staying within my calorie budget. For exercise, I will focus on getting 22 active minutes per day. I also need to keep showing up here no matter what the scale says!
SW RND 249 : 162.9 lbs
1/27 : 163.8 lbs Well I am disappointed in myself. I ate more pizza than I had planned. My kids help DH make the pizza and it is the one night I have off cooking each week. At the time, I felt like I had to show that I appreciated their efforts. I know that was just an excuse I used to justify it to myself at the time. I can of course tell them how much I appreciate their effort and not let them get in to the cycle of needing to see people overeat the food they make as proof that they have cooked well.
1/28 : 163.1 lbs
1/29 : 162.9 lbs I slept terribly after having my first coffee in almost 1 month. I give up coffee whenever I need to lose weight because it seems to slow my progress. It's probably because I have a lot of milk with my coffee and I have a habit of wanting something sweet with it. I have only black tea instead but gosh the coffee I had yesterday was good.
1/30 : 163.8 lbs I had a hungry day and ate at maintenance.
1/31 : 164.7 lbs
2/1 : 163.8 lbs I have had a rough couple of days but I am back on track again today.

Round 249
January 27 – February 5, 2024
62 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126
Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.
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 two parents, 87(mother), 85(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. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse (father has since passed and I am DPOA, Personal representative AKA executor, trustee, and oversee the majority of my mother’s care). 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
1/27 – 127.2 Why the drop finally today? Yesterday was fly home (possible flight fluid retention) and I ate an airport lunch of real onion rings and my first pressed cuban sandwich. It was delicious, but very salty (part of the purpose of onion rings
). Did my best to compensate with the rest of the day. I tracked everything using best estimates. This week home is going to be challenging. Today I face going out to eat while catching up with neglected friends. But I have checked out the menu and have my tentative plan of ordering the mussel appetizer as my entrée. I hope to save enough calories today that I can have some bread to sop up the sauce. 
1/28 – 127.4 Handled my day well and made good choices. Did not track everything, and plan to sit down and recreate. But there is nothing I would really change, so that’s ok. Today, I face celebrating three people’s birthday, my widowed 87 year old mother, son’s girlfriend, and grandson who is turning 4 this week. More food challenges to be!!
1/29 – 127.8 good enough. I did eat more than I should have last night. It has gone untracked as well AND I was chugging water overnight from the sodium. Onwards…..
1/30 – 127.2 While I did over eat yesterday with regards to total calories, those calories were skewed to the morning ( I started the day by eating 4 chocolate chip peanut butter cup cookies for almost 1000 calories). Today should, in theory, be straight forward, Still in Mass. My mom’s UTI is still raging in her mind. Yesterday, she was telling me to be sure to get the kids to the bomb shelter. Just a week ago (day before her 87th birthday) she was a totally different person. Though she is on antibiotics, her mind has gotten worse over the past few days. Today is a previously scheduled appointment with her psychologist. Fortuitously timed.
1/31 – 127.4 No reason. Actually was a little under yesterday. But digestive system is not up to par, so that may be coming into play.
2/1 – 126.6 Was over some, but everything was tracked yesterday. Was DGS’s actual 4th birthday. We got to visit and share the evening with #1, and #2 (5.5 months). As for my mom, I should have shared that 1/31 was fantastic with her pretty much back to dementia baseline. Yesterday was mixed. Today, I will be with her for the afternoon, then I return to Florida tomorrow. I expect that she will be emotional. The good thing is that she has great aids, though she is losing one to childbirth (due in 2 weeks and last day was a week ago). Aging is certainly looking a lot rougher to me.
2/2 – 126.8 Early morning, flying back to the Keys.
2/3 – 125.8 Finally the scale showing me some love. Amazing because yesterday started with and airplane flight, and ended with ridiculous condominium drama that I got sucked into the middle of. Going to head out shortly for a before sunrise fast walk. I need it!

HW: 194.7 (88.3 kg) April 25, 2020
SW WT RND 247: 180.6 (81.9 kg)
END WT RND 247: 177.4 (80.5 kg)
END WT RND 248: 175.1 (79.4 kg)
1/27- 174.8 (79.3 kg) TOM started. If I follow my usual pattern, I'll have a bit of an upswing/plateau the next few days followed by a dip at the end. Also, I ate pollo a la crema for dinner, which usually causes the scale to go up the next day.
1/28- 173.9 Didn't get my expected upswing today. Scale trying to make a liar out of me.
1/29- 174.5 And there it is. Mondays and Fridays are our busy days at work. I have a very sedentary job, but man, work wiped me out.
1/30- 174.3
1/31- 173.6 (78.7 kg) Ended the month strong, hoping to continue a pound and a bit per week. Once I reach 170, I'll recalculate my calories.
2/1- 173.3 Good start to the month. I really like that these 10 day challenges overlap the months. I feel like it helps me carry momentum forward.
2/2- 173.6 I drank about a quarter of my calories today (soda, not alcohol) which is not the best, but it scratched an itch. I'm not a coffee or tea drinker and I was dragging midmorning. That and a snack was lunch, chicken Alfredo for dinner. Having an ounce cheese on hand or something may be a better choice in the future. I also forgot I have Lifesavers in my desk drawer which are nice if I just want the taste of something sweet.
2/3- 173.1 Saved most of my calories for dinner. Still not sure if that works for me. Some days like today, yes, other days I feel like I end up too hungry before dinner and start craving everything at once. I may try to aim for more of a balance like 50-60% left for dinner instead of 70-80%.

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 249 (my 179th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, as always, so grateful.
Goals for this round; not going to set any numbers as I only self-sabotage when it looks like I’m getting there! So, to weigh less at the end than the start and an NSV to to reduce my resting heart rate (it used to be in the mid 40’s range, but has gradually crept up and is actually 52 at the moment, also no binge eating.
Good luck everyone for a successful round.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 target of 130 = 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.

1/27 142.8 – 8.31 miles walked; 55% exercise calories eaten back. Travelling 2 miles each way today for DGS’s 4th birthday bash at a soft play & then to a dinosaur themed restaurant, I’ve already checked out the menu, not my type of food; all fried ☹ , but will chose the least damage and limit the amount of fries that are served with it, & of course there will be birthday cake!
1/28 144.4 -no structured walking yesterday, only exercise was running around soft play with four little GGC sandwiched between 2 hours each way sitting in the car, calories well over.
1/29 144 – 9.31 miles walked, all exercise calories eaten back.
1/30 144.4 – 9.42 miles, all exercise calories plus eaten back ☹.
1/31 143.8 – 7.24 miles walked. Lunch out with DSs, tried to be as sensible as possible. It’s DH turn to have some health issues; 2 weeks ago both is hands swelled up quite badly, GP suspected osteoarthritis & booked him a full health check, his blood pressure was up and now his bloods have come back & he also has high cholesterol. He is very fit, not overweight, an arborist still working at 63 including climbing trees daily, he does however eat plenty biscuits, chocolate, cakes etc. it seems that all these have finally caught up with him!! He has 2 medical appointments coming up in the next week, one for his blood pressure and one for cholesterol. Seems he is going to be more aligned with my eating!!
2/1 142.4 – 11.04 miles walked, no exercise calories eaten back.
2/2 142.4 – no structured walking as child-minding little DGS, hence ate maintenance. Hubbie has been put on statins for 3 months and advised to moderate his diet (basically to more in line with myself) he is hoping to reduce the cholesterol to negate the need for medication.
2/3 141.8 – 6.65 miles walked, all exercise calories eaten back.
2/4 141 – 8.53 miles walked, a third of exercise calories eaten back.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Hi, Kelly here. 56yrs- 5'11" Made it through last round and created the habit of daily weights. Doc will be pleased because it is recommended for my meds and I am terrible at it lol
RND 248 End Weight- 207
SW RND 249
1/27 206.6
1/28 205.0 Seems to be setting me up for an epic bounce back. Snowy out today.
1/29 206.5 That seems more like it. I liked the number yesterday, but it wasn't something I felt was real. Maybe dehydrated? scale battery? I will get there lol
1/30 204.8 I must be fluidy. Please stick please stick. Chronic heart failure and medication play this game with my weight where all I can do is stick to the plan and trust the process. I seem to be dropping into the "set-point" territory where the losses slow down and I stall out. Knock wood it hasn't really happened yet, but I weighed between 200 and 210 for years and years. Last couple of years it has been more like between 215 and 225. As long as I don't undermine my own results because I am proud of the number, I should be okay. ( Note to self: Rewarding myself with food for a loss is unproductive)
1/31 205.4 I really don't want to weigh multiple times a day to figure out if I am weighing correctly lol. Testing and changing the scale batteries today.

2/3 207 February 1 I started reintroducing things I thought might be affecting my psoriasis. Day 1 was a little veggies, day 2 a few more veggies. Yesterday I was craving a protein shake. Calories were not over, nothing else out of the ordinary.

Hi everyone and good luck for the next 10 days! I wanna thank this community for being very supportive and nice. It really helps to be consistent.
This is my fourth round in a row! I’m happy that I’m consistent even though I just lost 1 kg (2.2 lbs). The process was very messy with many ups and downs, but it’s good to be here. I’m happy that I’m getting used to eat healthier, I’m trying to have a new eating habit (which is so hard). I aim to be compassionate to myself but also push my limits further.

Round 249
January 27 – February 5, 2024
62 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126
Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.
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 two parents, 87(mother), 85(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. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse (father has since passed and I am DPOA, Personal representative AKA executor, trustee, and oversee the majority of my mother’s care). 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
1/27 – 127.2 Why the drop finally today? Yesterday was fly home (possible flight fluid retention) and I ate an airport lunch of real onion rings and my first pressed cuban sandwich. It was delicious, but very salty (part of the purpose of onion rings ). Did my best to compensate with the rest of the day. I tracked everything using best estimates. This week home is going to be challenging. Today I face going out to eat while catching up with neglected friends. But I have checked out the menu and have my tentative plan of ordering the mussel appetizer as my entrée. I hope to save enough calories today that I can have some bread to sop up the sauce.
1/28 – 127.4 Handled my day well and made good choices. Did not track everything, and plan to sit down and recreate. But there is nothing I would really change, so that’s ok. Today, I face celebrating three people’s birthday, my widowed 87 year old mother, son’s girlfriend, and grandson who is turning 4 this week. More food challenges to be!!
1/29 – 127.8 good enough. I did eat more than I should have last night. It has gone untracked as well AND I was chugging water overnight from the sodium. Onwards…..
1/30 – 127.2 While I did over eat yesterday with regards to total calories, those calories were skewed to the morning ( I started the day by eating 4 chocolate chip peanut butter cup cookies for almost 1000 calories). Today should, in theory, be straight forward, Still in Mass. My mom’s UTI is still raging in her mind. Yesterday, she was telling me to be sure to get the kids to the bomb shelter. Just a week ago (day before her 87th birthday) she was a totally different person. Though she is on antibiotics, her mind has gotten worse over the past few days. Today is a previously scheduled appointment with her psychologist. Fortuitously timed.
1/31 – 127.4 No reason. Actually was a little under yesterday. But digestive system is not up to par, so that may be coming into play.
2/1 – 126.6 Was over some, but everything was tracked yesterday. Was DGS’s actual 4th birthday. We got to visit and share the evening with #1, and #2 (5.5 months). As for my mom, I should have shared that 1/31 was fantastic with her pretty much back to dementia baseline. Yesterday was mixed. Today, I will be with her for the afternoon, then I return to Florida tomorrow. I expect that she will be emotional. The good thing is that she has great aids, though she is losing one to childbirth (due in 2 weeks and last day was a week ago). Aging is certainly looking a lot rougher to me.
2/2 – 126.8 Early morning, flying back to the Keys.
2/3 – 125.8 Finally the scale showing me some love. Amazing because yesterday started with and airplane flight, and ended with ridiculous condominium drama that I got sucked into the middle of. Going to head out shortly for a before sunrise fast walk. I need it!
2/4 – 125.4 Amazing and that is after stress eating TWO pints of Godiva Peanut Butter Chocolate Ice cream BEFORE noon. Should not have even bought them, but they were buy one get one free. Doesn’t the “get one free” refer to the calories in the second pint??? :P

1/27 ⚖️ 131.4lbs
Yesterday:
✅ macros, cals, 🙆♀️,🚶♀️9.4k
NSVs:
1. Food no longer a “reward”.
2. Continue to see & feel small changes in my appearance.
3. Much more stamina, flexibility and energy.
Experimenting with new macros and kcals this round. Still want 129-130. It’s a psychological thing. Floating around 131–132 feels off -?like I’m on the brink or edge of gaining again… dunno. Maybe it’s just easier for me to “restrict” vs “do” during BAD weather? It’s clear I’m not as active in winter weather… so…. Adjust!
1/28 ⚖️131.6
Yesterday: ✅mac & kcals, 🙆♀️🤸🏼🏋️♀️🚶♀️💦 Great day. worked out in morn… and a perfect afternoon for 4.0 mi walk. Basic food day.
Today: Optimistic. Already got in my 30 min of ☕️ 🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼!!! (Up super early 3:15.) Weather forecast looks wonderful today & thru the weekend - 🌞 🎾 & outdoors for me!
1/29 ⚖️131.3🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼🚶♀️🎾💦🥩
Did it ALL! ✅ mac & kcals too😎
NSV: Had quite an emotional day that was “triggering” ice cream, ice cream, ice cream… Said OK-hold that thought…. let’s just eat the steak first and revisit that urge…
By the end of the steak, I didn’t crave the ice cream anymore. Was able to think through the “trigger”, and it just wasn’t worth it! THAT was a huge win!!! Boring yes, but a win! One ice cream wasn’t going to end my world, but it would’ve ended momentum, ketosis, put me back on square one for another week…. The victory tasted waaaayyyyy better than the ice cream!
Today: not sure yet but the weather is cooperating so I’ll be active.
1/30 ⚖️130.8 🙆♀️🚶♀️🎾💦🥩
✅macs & kcals
Wonderful to be outdoors! DGS spent night last two nights - what a treat! Positive day- taking advantage of gorgeous weather.
Today: 🙆♀️🎾🤸🏼🏋️♀️🚶♀️Another day outdoors. Food is planned.
1/31 ⚖️131.8 ✅🙆♀️🚶♀️🎾🥩
macros & kcals. Scale is up or down a pound like clock-work. Puff ball big-time this morning. Probably enjoyed outdoors a little too much. Played Tennis three hours and was feeling it last night. Thought I drank enough water yesterday, but I obviously didn’t … Woke up at 3am. Yuck.
Time for more 🏋️♀️🤸🏼today. Will play a little 🎾 … May also go for a walk want to take advantage of the ☀️😎.
NSV. I sincerely cannot remember the last time I ate a packaged food (bread, chips, protein bar, cookie, pasta-maybe June?)— anything not whole food (except hard cheese). I also make ketchup & mayo from scratch. And, it’s Mardi-Gras (King Cake) season here in Louisiana. (Basically bread sugar, sugar & more sugar). Last year I think I had a piece EVERY day from Jan-March. Not this year- and I don’t miss it! Thank GOD!
2/1 ⚖️131.8 ✅ macros & Kcals🙆♀️🎾🥩. Only 5.2k steps. Didn’t make time for walk I the afternoon. Hung around after tennis too long visiting,laughing & enjoying perfect weather. Lots of 💦.
Today: 🎾 this morn. Will conquer 🏋️♀️🤸🏼. Another beautiful day ahead!
NSV have stayed true to nutrition goals thru thick and thin the last few weeks. Emotional upheavals & circumstances beyond my control (that in the past) would have led me to an evening cocktail, chips & dip, snacking or huge portions. Intense worries for loved ones won’t be solved with a fork. I am starting to consistently conquer letting feelings pass long enough to delay reactions. This is benefiting my life far more than just food. Emotional maturity at 65?!?! Never too late. 😁
2/2 ⚖️132.6 (see NSVs BELOW) ✅🙆♀️🚶♀️🤸🏼🎾🥩
macros & kcals. Managed 20 min of fl🤸🏼🏋️♀️before 21/2 hrs of tennis. 🔥1400+kcals. Exhausted in afternoon. 8.2k steps. Ate a nice pork chop.
Today: more 🎾🙆♀️🤸🏼🏋️♀️
NSV still tracking and still moving forward. 132.6? My clothes are fitting better than 129lbs…. 🏋️♀️🤸🏼 is WORKING!!!!
Answering these now….
I'm thankful for...
I'm content with...
I'm excited for...
2/3 ✅🙆♀️🎾🥩 🚶♀️macros & kcals.
Rest day today.
2/4 ⚖️ 132.9 The scale is STILL a pain in my butt (yes, I wrote *kitten* and changed it). Always has been always will be…
✅🙆♀️🥩 macros & kcals.
Today: Drink extra 💦 to flush out whatever log-jam is inside of me because I quite simply have no idea what it is…. 🎾& 🚶♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼
Hope everyone has a positive, beautiful day!
Tomorrow: If I still weigh 132+ I’ll re-evaluate, change things up again and take those puppies off.

Aug 14, 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take control of my health. I lost 30lbs by 1/1/2015. Weight remained @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Five years!
🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….
2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs. Always self-conscious.

Dropped to 128lbs again by 9/30 then held 130lbs till 1/1/23.
2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much! Ive always eaten somewhat healthy BUT portion control is/was a huge issue. Started tracking again 7/15/23. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are @ 130 determined to…. be in the

The yo-yo is exhausting & unhealthy. Takes up way too much brain space.
I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to maintain approx. 130lbs and IN SHAPE. Pretty clear that once I reached a goal weight I would then relax/ drift backwards.
As I age it becomes much, MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could lose 15lbs easy in 8 weeks up to 2022 ish … This is absolutely not true anymore!
While active with 🚶♀️& 🎾 it’s clear a ST routine is absent. Time to incorporate ST 🏋️♀️ 🙆♀️🤸🏼as my TRUE focus.

2/4: It appears I got through Friday night's restaurant without a bump up on the scale, which is good information. I was careful with my portion sizes but didn't restrict my choices. Saturday was a quiet home day- gym, chores, reading, movie; I cooked a simple dinner that we both enjoyed. Today will be much the same- I love these quiet weekends once in a while. Can't believe another round is almost over!7 -

~ I have been dealing with a muscle spasm which happens to me every so often. But this time it’s been on a spot on my back that I could feel on the back of my gut. Now that TOM started today the pain has subsided and I felt such a relief .. and then this now with the scale! What a restless night I had that turned into such an amazing morning!
Stayed Below SW 179🟢=Yes 🔴=No*MiniGoal: Under 177
(Sat > > > > > > > > Next Mon)
🔴🔴🔴🔴🟢🟢🔴🟢🟢🔘- 02/05 Mon ~ Last Day
- Sat 02/03🟢178.7;-.5lbs
~ I’ve been doing well on eating but I think I did better when I originally started keto. Before I found all these “keto products” ie. keto bread, keto boxed treats, keto cereal. I probably need to get back to basics. Looking back I realize there was a certain milestone where I went from headaches to pure energy. I never see that switch anymore. Tomorrow I’m going to skim over all the old videos and research material used to learn I on the diet. - Fri 02/02🔴179.2;+1.4lbs
~ Not sure what this would be about. I was under calorie and my net carb count was 50. Maybe too much sodium??
~ On a good note, this’ll be my 3rd day logging. MFP makes this so much easier than other apps. - Thu 02/01🟢177.8;-.9lbs
~ Still on it. Having a hard time sleeping though. I should figure that out soon. I have to have to get good sleep to better cope with my grueling job and prevent myself from binging - Wed 01/30🟢178.7;-.9lbs
~ FINALLY!! I’m at a lower weight than where this round started me! That’s all you can hope for sometimes… Let’s keep the momentum going! - Tue 01/30🔴179.6;-.9lbs
~ Back on track-ish
~ My daughter is on a very strict diet to correct her EOE. No wheat, soy, milk, eggs are some of the big ones. It has been a very trying time in our house. Like ..what the hell do we eat!? The answer so far is: Meat, potatoes, rice and vegetables. No butter, no ranch on the side. This is a very difficult concept for my teenager to grasp. - Mon 01/29🔴180.5;+1lbs
~ 4 more macadamia nut cookies and they’re gone and out of the house! (Until he makes more from the batch). My husband likes to put us down for cookie dough every time my nephews are sponsoring a school fundraiser.. not very helpful having those around the house...
~ Time to get back on track! - Sun 01/28🔴179.5;+.5lbs
~ Those 3 macadamia nut cookies were so good though!!😫 - Sat 01/27🔴179; +0lbs
~ I was “good” all day yesterday until the late night munchies hit me. And I sorta kinda splurged and had chips and queso. At least I counted the tortilla chips out beforehand*small win for me*
~ Still struggling to log everything -will do better today. Fingers
I used to be so methodical about this. Why is this so difficult now!?
~ Still working towards eating on an IF schedule between 2pm and 10pm - SW: 179
~ Glad this challenge is still going on. The MFP COMMUNITY can be a bit of a challenge in and of itself, so when I fall off the wagon this challenge helps me to bridge that gap back here. So thank you!!
~ Still weighing in in the morning
~ Still practicing dirty keto

I'm Julie, 35 years old, SAHM to two year old twins
RSW: 132.6
1/27: 132.5. Eating was good, went for a walk and a 3 mile run. We are going through a ROUGH sleeping phase with my boys. 3 night in a row that I got less than 5 hours of sleep. It's starting to get to me. I am determined to not let bad decisions creep in, but it's a lot harder when I am tired.
1/28: 134.4. I was feeling a bit dizzy yesterday so ate a little extra. It probably didn't have to include ice cream, but oh well. Went for a walk, no run
1/29: 134.1. I managed to stay within calories, but they included some McDonald's. Eating hasn't been great so far this round. Went for 2 walks and a 3 mile run.
1/30: 136.1. well this is going the wrong direction. I had a bit of extra salt yesterday and drank a little more water than usual, so I have no doubt it's water weight. No run, but did get a walk in. Food was under calories.
1/31: 133.3. Went for a walk, food was good. I was going to go to the gym, but when I got there, it was so packed the parking lot was full. I didn't feel like searching for a spot and then hoping a treadmill would be available, so I just went home. Probably not the best course of action, but it it what it is.
2/1: 132.6. Sleep has been terrible lately. Not sure why my boys aren't sleeping so well right now. I was under calories yesterday, but I ate pretty bad, as I didn't eat a lot, volume or quality. I woke up extra hungry today. Hoping I can keep food under control today. I have a lot going against me.
2/2: 131.7. A little happy surprise for sure! It's a new low for me! I've been sticking to my calorie goal, but I got to admit, the quality of food hasn't been the best. I need to get back to vegetables and healthy choices. Boys finally slept through the night which was nice.
2/3: 134.6. Pizza and a few beers. Oh well.
2/4: 132.6. Lazy day, but managed to go for a 4 mile run. Saved all of my calories for a steak dinner that my husband made. It was worth it, for sure.

I'm in for Round 249
RND 249 (my first)
SW): 177.8
GW: 165
1/27 - 178.8 I went up a little because I wasn't focused, but I'm going to do better today.
1/28 - 177.2. I was focused on not eating too much too late last night. That's going to be my focus for the rest of this challenge.
1/29 - 176.2. Ice cream Sunday, but I kept my calories low and still got the win. Today I plan on getting a workout.
1/30 - 176.4. I wasn't focused enough at night, snacking got to me, but I won't let it defeat me today! Onwards and upwards
1/31 177.8. I failed! Binge eating at its best
2/1 176.2. Down from yesterdays nose dive, but still fighting for a victory this week!
2/2 - 175.8. I'm figuring it out. Eating like an upside down pyramid. Meals big for breakfast, medium for lunch, snack for dinner. That's working for me!
2/3 - 177.8. Worked out for the first time in a long time! Weights causing gain, maybe!?!
2/4 - 176.2. I didn't go crazy eating last night. I'm gonna get a win for the final day!!! Let's go!!!

SW RND 249 233.2
1/27 233.2 / Happy to hold - had dinner and a concert with a friend last night, and a work lunch. Steps were low. Today is the Pelofondo - I pledged to do 150 KM on the bike! Let's GOOOOOO!!!
1/28 234.2 / 6 hours and 10 minutes of riding yesterday to complete the 150 KM. So proud of myself and my husband for doing it. Firehouse Subs just came to our city so we had that for supper after the event.
1/29 235.8 / Day off from work today for a doctor's appointment. Went to a movie yesterday followed by a huge dinner out with friends.
1/30 235.4 / Depressive funk kind of day. Wanted to eat my feelings at night but kept the damage to a minimum. Work is really tough sometimes.
1/31 235 / Planning for an on track day. Need to not let work get to me today.
2/1 234.6 / Worked and then flew to Toronto. Visiting my husband's family for the weekend. Will be out of my routine. Joining a cycling club for the summer... nervous but excited to do more outdoor rides.
2/2 235.6 / The rest of this round will be on my travel scale and out of my routine. Today we drive north to the area my husband's Mom lives in.

1/27 - 191.6
Happy Saturday! Mine will be crazy, running to a friend’s house several times to let two of her dogs out while she’s off at a dog show with #3 and her hubby is driving one of the little Shriner cars at the circus all day. In between I’m going to take my first stab at a full groom of Charlie by myself. I show groomed Aussies for decades, but Cocker Spaniel coiffures are a whole new world, what with clippers. Eek! I hope I don’t butcher him too much. Wish me luck!
1/28 - 192.4
Salt. My calories were on target, but we ordered enchiladas for dinner and they tasted salty to me. It’s fine, I’ll just drink lots of water today. It’s snowing to beat the band right now, so other than a dog walk, I’m planning a cozy day at home. Enjoy your Sunday, all!
1/29 - 193
Yikes! 😳 Has to be delayed residual from Saturday. It’s ok, I’ll get rid of it.
1/30 - 192
I was planning a walk this morning, but it’s sleeting and there’s a thin layer of ice on everything, so guess my exercise will be some light cleaning, another stab at dog grooming, and then knitting—I’m making DH a sweater he requested (which he’s never done before) and have just one sleeve and the neck band to do. Then back to the cardigan I’m knitting for myself. 😊🧶
1/31 - 192.6
Sigh. But I did snack a little last night, so not unexpected. I haven’t completely finished trimming Charlie, but I did pretty well with his furry little face. 😊
2/01 - 192.6
I had a major calorie blowout yesterday so expected a spike—it will no doubt come tomorrow or Saturday. Back on track today.
2/02 - 193.4
Yep, there’s my binge on Wednesday. I expected it to show up. All good.
2/03 - 193
Still on track, and the binge bloat it coming off. Always shocking how long it takes. It’s cold and wet here today, so I’m probably staying inside. Off to my friend’s house to knit & chat together. I finished a nice wool sweater for DH yesterday, back to the pretty cardigan I’m knitting for myself. 😊
2/04 - 193.6
Well, phooey. I did veer a little off track yesterday, but didn’t think it was that bad. Cold, wet weather definitely bring out my inner bear—I mostly want to eat, fatten up, and sleep. Where’s my inner gazelle? Gotta find her! 🦌

It's been a while since I've been here, but decided to focus on weight loss again and this has always been a helpful tool for me. Lost 30 pounds last spring. then gained a few of those back. Have kept up my daily walks, but need to concentrate on nutrition.

I sure miss my old “Doctor’s” scale!!! Wish I had it back for sure. I gave it to my sister a few years ago and replaced it with a Renpho. I’m working up the nerve to ask for it back. It was my grandfather’s scale! Why did I do that?!
