    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.

    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

    8/16 132.5 Finally TMI! Fasting (except for my version of Bullet proof coffee) until we go to Golden Corral at 3-ish. DH has committee meeting from 10-3, I have nail appointment at 11:15. What an exciting day! LOL🤪🤪
    8/17 133.5 I ate all the carbs at Golden Corral yesterday afternoon! My upper leg was really hurting when I went to bed and it took what seemed like hours to get to sleep.
    8/18 133.5 Great Greek today with family (steak and salad)
    8/19 133.0 Meals planned and logged for the day
    8/20 133.0 I wanted chocolate last night but have none of the one I like(Sam’s Choice 90% Cacao) but Hershey bar DH bought me as a “reward” is in the fridge and I DIDN’T EAT IT!!! Yay me!
    8/21 133.0 Community bingo tonight with pizza for dinner. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Leave the crust, just eat the toppings. There is a small piece of leftover rib eye steak in the fridge, maybe I’ll eat that before we go to bingo.
    8/22 134.5 I didn’t eat the steak but I did eat the pizza. Different brand and too much bread with too little toppings. Pizza, potato chips, watermelon and ice cream sandwiches. Carbs anyone?? Glad I hadn’t eaten all day - did have one keto shake at 10 am. Catching up on posts and keep getting kicked off MFP. FINALLY!

    @JeffreyD: it’s very simple to get international plans through your carrier and it includes data for the device so you can use your phone seamlessly; my partner has a different carrier and an android phone and it works all. I recommend checking on VPN which protects you a bit more for Wi-Fi that isn’t your normal

    Male: 67
    6’-2”
    OSW: 237.8 (Nov. 2016.) I was actually at 250 in 2011 or so…
    OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
    Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205

    Goals for this round:

    1. Log my food daily; try to eat cleaner and work on portion control… really try this time.
    2. Daily exercise; at least some movement…
    3. Drink 90 oz. water.
    4. Do the first three goals.


    Round 268 Posts
    This is my posting format….

    Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed.
    / Logged Food - yesterday; Exercise – yesterday; water - yesterday / Comment

    Previous posts:



    8/14: 218.6
    /logged; no exercise; 66 oz water/
    Bump up from yesterday, because yesterday was an anomaly. No exercise because I am still recovering from my back tweak. Gradual improvement, but still very sore. I was able to get out of the house at least.

    On a very happy note, my nose biopsy came back CLEAR! Thank you Lord! Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

    8/15: 219.4
    /not; not; 70 oz water/
    Hard to move/exercise. Easy to eat. Came home from a meeting last night and shamelessly snacked like it didn’t matter. What that amounts to is trading yesterday’s stress for tomorrow’s strain.

    8/16: 221.2 got too busy to log yesterday, but I did weigh.
    8/17: 220.0
    /logged; small steps ☹; 66 oz water/
    My starting weight this round was really low, so I am just trying to get back there. But not trying hard enough. I am a pushover when it comes to temptation these days. I remember from other weight loss successes that I need to embrace the “hunger pang.” (Such a joke because I have never truly been hungry in my entire life. My first-world life.)

    8/18: 221.2
    /no logging; exercised; 66 oz water/
    It has been a combination of my DW’s good cooking (using the produce of her garden mixed with all kinds of goodies) and eating out last night at a sort of higher end Mexican restaurant. I ordered a burrito, and it was so big I brought half home. I never do that; I always clean my plate like a good boy.

    Needless to say I did not embrace the hunger feelings yesterday.

    And today is our 45th anniversary! I am so blessed that she chose me! Where does the time go?

    8/19: 221.8
    /no logging; small exercise; little water/
    Ok I think the anniversary celebration is over. Onward to the next 45 years.

    8/20: 221.2
    /logged; exercised; 90 oz water/
    Listened to a podcast yesterday highlighting the dark side of “big food” and “big pharma,” in bed with our “big government.” (I don’t want my post to start a Facebook-like rant thread here on JGMTD, so I will not share the source. I am not promoting it.) Suffice to say I need to avoid processed food and medication to the degree it is possible. I, at the very least, want to be informed.

    Easier said than done.

    8/21: 221.4
    /logged; exercised; 80 oz water/
    I was no angel yesterday, but I feel I deserve better than this scale reading this morning. Plugging along.

    I might need to become more militant with my attitude about my relationship with food. I just used a word (militant) that I thought I should look up. Ha! Synonyms are:
    aggressive,
    violent,
    belligerent,
    bellicose,
    assertive,
    pushy,
    vigorous,
    forceful,
    active,
    fierce,
    combative,
    pugnacious,
    radical,
    extremist,
    extreme,
    enthusiastic,
    zealous,
    fanatical,
    ultra-active

    I think it is proper word usage. Maybe except for the word violent. No, on second thought, I could violently slap my hand away from the refrigerator door. 😊

    Antonyms are:
    restrained,
    apathetic

    SW on day before this round.

    8/22: 219.8
    /logged; exercised; 80 oz water/
    Some restrained militance yesterday. Want to do better today.

    8/23: 221.4
    /no logging; exercised; 66 oz water/
    Underwhelming. Travel the next few days so check in will be spotty with no scale.

    I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.
