    ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 191.4

    10/15 -191.2- (Trend weight -193.2-)

    10/16 -193.0- (Trend weight -193.2-)

    10/17 -191.6- (Trend weight-193.0-)

    10/18 -DNW- (Trend weight-DNW-) No-weigh Friday. Macros were within limits although carbs were on the higher end of my allowance due to Pasta. I made a Spaghetti Casserole with real Pasta for the gang although I avoided the garlic bread. I probably should have gotten a spaghetti squash and made mine separate (and different) but I didn’t. I’m planning a good day today. The family will eat leftovers but no more pasta for me today.! Two days in a row would surely be a disaster! I have lots of better options and need to keep eating clean and within plan at home.

    10/19 -192.4- (Trend weight-192.8-) A bit of a jump up (just under a pound) due to two days of pasta dinners. All the leftovers are gone now except just enough for one plate which my son will polish off today. I kept the portions under control but I always bloat and gain after real pasta. It fed the whole gang nicely though for a full 2 days. I’m happy to see my trend weight still going down. I have a good plan for today but I’ve got to get off my butt and get in some exercise even while babysitting my very active DGS.

    10/20 -xxxxx- (Trend weight-xxxxx-)

      Husband got Papa John’s and I didn’t cave! I don’t like to put myself into a mode where I feel like I’m constantly missing out on something good because I tend to use those feelings later to talk myself into a binge. So for last night, I decided to only think about money and how much it saved us with me not ordering something for myself. Money was ultimately how I quit smoking years ago, yes my husband had a massive heart attack so that is how we STARTED to quit, but saving $$$ helped me stick to it. Health and Fitness are good reasons to make good decisions but they aren’t as instantly tangible as saving money, so why not look at food in the same light? Other than having this epiphany, the scale still went up a bit today.
      I’m still trying to figure out my carb goal. I plan to analyze my diary on Saturday when I have a moment.

    Got results of Cologuard-all good.

    @quiltingjaine I got my Cologuard over a year ago which was also all clear. Usually during a true colonoscopy they will remove any polyps while they are there which I am sure helps prevent tumors or cancer later. How do you feel about the fact that we are missing this process by using the Cologuard for testing? I'd love your thoughts on this. Also anyone else who would like to chime in on this......

    10/19 -192.4- (Trend weight-192.8-) A bit of a jump up (just under a pound) due to two days of pasta dinners.

It fed the whole gang nicely though for a full 2 days. I’m happy to see my trend weight still going down.

    10/20 -191.0- (Trend weight 192.6-) A nice drop back down into the 191 world but I am pretty ashamed of how I got it back there. Yesterday evening I drove to the new little local ice cream place and ordered something that is like an M & M Blizzard. I ordered size large with chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla. Custard, no less. I did this after scouring the menu to try to figure out what the BIGGEST item was that they had on the menu besides Banana Splits since I don’t eat bananas. I was not going for quality, it was pure quantity, pure gluttony really. I know from past mistakes that a medium turtle blizzard made with chocolate ice cream is about 985 calories so there is no doubt that this came in well over 1000. As I sat in my car eating it alone like a bandit hiding their loot, I looked around at all the filled picnic tables and saw EVERYONE else eating little dishes of ice cream, or small simple cones. They were enjoying theirs much more than I was mine because it was what they REALLY WANTED, not just the biggest amount or the biggest value for the $. I felt pretty disgusted, especially when I finished it anyway. Later I ended up skipping my dinner to offset the calories. No amount of starving was going to fix the carbs. I went to bed at 2:00 am very hungry. So yes, I had a drop today due to no dinner. But it’s not the right way to get where I need to go. I’m sure my diabetes didn’t thank me as my glucose was still up by over 40 points this morning from 5:00 pm ice cream yesterday. Sorry for the long post but I hope it helps someone when I say it’s just not worth it. Healthy consistent clean meals are the answer. SMALL, OCCASIONAL treats are okay. Treats are not meal replacements! Today I will put all my knowledge and tools to work and have a good day which should always be the normal and not the exception.

    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 275 (my 205th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.

    This round sees me travelling again, this time to Turkey to visit DB. Just want to stay strong but enjoy my time with him & SIL, they emigrated out there 16 months ago.
    Goals for this round;
    • First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
    • to choose wisely!
    I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.
    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.

    Updated 20.08.24 – I met up with DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info 😞. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available.
    This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to overindulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 66 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so I must not jeopardize that luck.

    10/20 DNW - sorry guys been totally AWOL. Internet her in Turunç, Turkey is so sporadic, most times unable to get online & when we can it's mostly in restaurants & as we are out with DB & SIL that we are visiting it seems very unsocial to sit there on phone. Tried to eat as healthy as possible & only have 1 adult beverage (wine) per day, I'll see what the scales say when we get home; fly back today. So lovely to spend this time with them, not seen them since mid last year when they moved here. Got 7 pages to catch up on😱.
    10/21 144 – back home now &, back into normal eating routine 😊. So fantastic to see DB & spend some time with him & SIL after 16 months when they left to live in Turkey.
    10/22


    👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!! 👍👍.

    @deepwoodslady @quiltingjaine "I got my Cologuard over a year ago which was also all clear. Usually during a true colonoscopy they will remove any polyps while they are there which I am sure helps prevent tumors or cancer later. How do you feel about the fact that we are missing this process by using the Cologuard for testing? I'd love your thoughts on this. Also anyone else who would like to chime in on this......"

    I've had 2 colonoscopies, 6 years between them; after the last one the surgeon said 10 years would be fine. I've had the Cologuard in between; perhaps it's done in those interim years for less invasive screening?

    I joined this group in Rnd 245 on Dec 18 2023, when I realized I was eating my way through the holidays; I finally got on the scale and was hovering just under 150 lbs. It took about 4 months to reach my goal weight of 125. Sounds great, but I’ve done this before, which is why I’m still here.
    It’s not just about losing, it’s about changing the habits of a lifetime that keep me stuck in self-defeating cycles with food.

    10/21: gorgeous day yesterday and DP put a chair on our back "stoop" so I could sit in the sun for a bit- still being super careful about stairs, only as needed. Day 5 behind me, and the foot feels pretty good- I can make circles at the ankle and can sleep on my side again (thank goodness). Progress. Today I'm going to do some lightweight exercises on the bed and with hand weights, just a little to see how it feels.
