Day/Weight/Comment
5/28--217.5 Not surprised by uptick in weight, will probably see another uptick tomorrow. I went for Afternoon Tea yesterday and I have no idea how many calories I ate, but I definitely enjoyed myself. Going out with the dog for a hike this morning.
5/29--218.0 Water retention. So sore from the hike yesterday. I got my steps in yesterday. Goal for today is to get my water in.
5/30--217.8 Most of the soreness is gone.
5/31--217.1 There goes the rest of the water retention. Got my steps in yesterday.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28: 133.6, came down with a pre-summer cold. Feel poopy and too tired to cook. Thank goodness I have no snack foods in my home.
5/29: 133.6, worked my 10 hour shift and felt okay. The I’m tired cravings did get to me, unfortunately, resulting on 6 mini Reese’s PB cups and a 330 calorie packet of peanuts being consumed.
5/30: 134.2, Never go to the market when you are tired; chips and salsa magically appeared in my bag. Of course, I ate some.
5/31: 132.6, Great date last night, he cooked smoked salmon, sautéed summer squash, tomato and avocado salad, and fresh strawberries for dessert. Long walk on the beach after dinner and spur of the moment movie at the theater (no popcorn for us!)
I think this one’s keeper. Both on the same page for health and eating style.10 -

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 Monday - 200.8 I finally slept thru the night last night for the first time in a whole week with a hacking cough. Woohoo. Nice not to see a huge jump after a night out. I was ravenous today so I just ate. Homemade breakfast sandwhich, some flat iron steak for a snack, and homemade matzo ball soup for dinner - which will also be lunch for a few days too. Goal for this round is to maintain at or under 199 which is 1 week or so ahead of schedule. Leaving for mini vacation at the end of this round, good motivator. Need to get a bathinsuit!
5/29 Tuesday - 202.4 - Back to my pre-sickness weight. Thats fine - I'd rather have my health and 2 pounds than that miserable cold for one more day. DH is on the verge of getting it now, lots of EmergenC, bone broth, and encouraging him to drink lots of water. Knock on wood he can beat it! Having a hard time drinking my smoothie this morning, but it will be done. Time to start downing water myself! Leftover soup for lunch, popcorn and blueberry applesauce for snack. No idea on what to have for dinner yet, still pretty exhausted so I need to make a plan so I don't end up eating convenience foods. I took out some ground beef, so maybe koren beef?
5/30 Wednesday - 201.8 - Half way thru the week! DH is home sick today - fingers crossed that this shall pass a little more quickly for him. I was 202 at first waking, then 201.8 about a half hour later. I was weighing later in the day when I was sick because I was sleeping in - and after seeing @tiabirdie56 show how her weights flucuate in the morning I wonder If my body operates in a similar way. I'll keep an eye on that as I continue my journey. NSV last night - went bathing suit shopping and found something flattering and confidence boosting! It even matches the sun shirt I already have. I spent a little more than I would have liked (again painfully frugal) but its a Lands End suit so I'm hoping to get a lot of use out of it this summer and it will hold up. The past summer I've been shy about swimming up at my MIL's because hanging out in a bathing suit is not something I enjoy - so I got a swim skirt and a modest tankini top and plan to ENJOY the lake and swim more this year. Hopefully the suit fits thru the summer, I guess if it doesn't that would be okay too! As long as its too big not too small! I will try on the top again tonight and make sure I don't need to size down, my recommended size online was a 14 but I purchased a 16 - but I'm notorious for wearing my clothes too big. I did make korean beef last night - tired and still not feeling 100% is not a time to try a new recipe! I also had some graham crackers and chocolate hummus, what a yummy dessert! Didnt pack a lunch today, only breakfast and snacks - thought I didnt have anything but I should have brought a veggie burger. I'll be sure to take that tomorrow! Maybe panera for lunch? Didnt take anything out of the freezer for dinner and with DH not feeling well I have a feeling I may be picking up Pho for him...we shall see. The things I can control today are to drink lots of water, make better portioned healthy choices, and to be kind to myself thru this process.
5/31 Thursday - 202.0 - Dinner last night was thrown off track because DH ate the leftovers I was planning on for dinner for his lunch. No big deal, I'm glad he ate something. I didn't have much of anything ready to cook (all meats frozen) but I did have a frozen pizza and french fries calling my name. I checked to make sure my portion would fit my caloric allotment - I went slightly over carbs and a bit over sodium because I had panera for lunch. I couldnt figure out why I was such a carb monster yesterday. I stepped on the scale this morning and was a bit dissapointed in myself and the number. *TMI warning - if womanly functions bother you feel free to scroll past! But TOM unexpectedly arrived and explained everything! Water retention and carb cravings are the norm for me a day or two before and a day or two during. A NSV for me as a woman with PCOS - my cycle has regulated to 28 days on the dot! I have a follow up with my endocrinologist next week, so I'm excited to be able to report some good news. I was ranging anywhere from 35-50 days previous to changing my diet. I'm hoping to start a family in the next 2 years or so, so this is one of my biggest goals is improving my reproductive health! I truly was not expecting TOM to come until next week (which would have sucked while vacationing but it always seems to happen that way without fail so I was planning for it). First day is still proving to be incredibly painful - hopefully that will improve as well as I continue my journey.

@brightresolve What are “zero drop runners?”
@tiabirdie56 Why eat if you aren’t hungry? I did that at the beginning of Keto but no more.
@anita7164 I found your comment about the chicken place inspiring. Since going hardcore keto last summer, all those yummy foods are not so yummy anymore! Whoo hoo!!
@AJB1014 Are you doing Keto? I have read of so many women with PCOS who start Keto and get pregnant! Just sayin’
I thought I posted a quote yesterday from Dr Jason Fung but now don’t find it. I will try again.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
5/28 136.5 WHOO HOO! Almost no carbs yesterday. Tracking again. It makes a difference. Almost 100 posts to read! Home from community picnic. One hamburger, one hotdog, a thin slice each of tomato and onion. I pinched a teeny bite of cookie from DH - 3 raisins and not much else!
5/29 137.5 Too much salt in the evening. This too shall pass.
5/30 137.5 Hurt my foot yesterday. A board fell over on it. Not a big board but it is swollen and bruised. I’m going to water fitness anyway and will see what I can do.
5/31 136.5 The bruise is fading but it still feels as if I’m walking on a cotton ball.5 -
@quiltingjaine, I'm glad your foot is on the mend. I don't know HOW you got in and out of the pool yesterday.
I know it doesn't seem to make sense for me to eat if not hungry. I gain weight when I don't eat enough. Notorious undereater. Eating too much food has never been my problem. So I feel like I've been missing or ignoring my hunger cues being preoccupied with something else. I do have days that I eat more than usual, just hungrier.2 -

Start Weight Feb 2018 - 202
Goal Weight July 2019 - 140
5/28 - 187.8 - Well this was a surprise since the last 10 days nothing seemed to be happening.
5/29 - 189.4 - Such a frustrating process this is
5/30 - 190.8 - Yesterday was a crap day, I met a guy for lunch I used to work with, who has successfully lost and is maintaining a 60 lb loss. The problem is he insists on KFC. He plans for it every Tuesday. He told me yesterday that is his big meal of the day. He works 12 hour shifts 5AM to 5PM so he goes to bed around 7 each night to be ready for his long day, so he is fasting from 3pm until around 7am the next day. I find KFC doesn't fill me, I am always hungry a couple hours after I eat it. I did go for two walks to burn off some calories but not enough.
5/31- 189.6 - well going in the right direction again.

5/28 199.9 Happy dance!!! Great way to start off this round.
5/29 199.5 Well…happily the scale did not reflect the snacks I ate yesterday…..something I haven’t really done since the beginning of April. A small kit kat bar, potato chips, and fudge cookies. However, we’ve been helping one of our daughters move the past several days…so I’ve been working my tail off (and hopefully my belly, too….lol). But it’s back to sticking with my calorie goal today.
5/30 199.6
5/31 199.0 This was after I ate a bowl of homemade spaghetti and meat sauce last night. Despite the fact that I’m working hard to lose weight, I also really don’t want to deprive myself of things I like to eat. I had made the spaghetti because I had some of the grandchildren over for dinner, otherwise I probably would have had a salad and some chicken breast or something. So I made the decision to go ahead and eat with them…I just paid attention to how much I served myself. If I’m going to continue to be successful at losing weight, it’s all about portion size.

I'm putting the Keto experiment on hold because, in a lot of ways, I'm not feeling all that good right now. I'm going to stay at a much lower carb intake, integrating some fruits and vegetables while continuing to focus on eating healthy fats (instead of the crap I used to eat). I'm going to stay away from processed sweets and crappy processed snack foods.

Average weight loss per round: 1.95 lbs

Goals for this round: maintain current weight (do not go over 195) as I take as break from from Keto. Track my BF% consistently.
Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 = 192.2 (-1.8), BF% = 15.5. I got started a little later than usual today, so this might not be perfectly accurate, but it should be pretty close. Last night wasn't impulsive. I'm definitely taking a break from Keto. I'm trying to decide which carb number I should shoot for. I'm thinking 100, but I'm going to do some reading. I wasn't very consistent last round with tracking my body fat percentage. I'm going to commit to tracking it every day.
5/29 = 194.2 (+2.0), BF% = 15.7. Got a little too "snacky" yesterday. Ate when I wasn't hungry. Allowed myself to eat a couple of things I haven't been able to eat in the past few weeks. Went about 300 calories over maintenance. That being said, as mentioned yesterday, my weight likely wasn't all that accurate when I weighed myself yesterday (weighed myself at the "correct time" today). My goal for today is to remember only to eat when I feel hungry. I tracked everything yesterday, so that was good. I'm feeling okay. This is actually not feeling like a cause for alarm. Rather, it's a signal that I need to be paying attention to how I'm feeling and what I'm eating right now.
5/30 = 193.8 (-0.4), BF% = 15.6. I was much more under control yesterday. Ate with my macros, no crazy binges, stayed away from sweets for the most part (and slightly under calories). I decided to adjust my weekly goal to 1/2 a pound per week (from 1 pound), as I'm getting pretty close to my goal weight.
5/31 = 193.8 (no change), BF% = 15.6. I felt like I ate a little heavy during yesterday, but after tracking everything I think I was slightly below maintenance. I had a fantastic dinner that I normally would have completely scarfed in one sitting. This time, however, I ate half of it, I did it mindfully, and I have half of it today for either lunch or dinner (probably dinner). I have basketball tonight for the first time in a week, and I'm going to go to the gym as well. I feel pretty good that I have been able to maintain since putting Keto on hold, particularly since I haven't worked out for the past week. Full disclosure regarding my decision to put Keto on hold; it actually didn't feel that hard to do. While that's generally a good thing, I tend to get into a groove when something is working well, which makes me less vigilant/questioning. I have some questions regarding the long-term health effects of the Keto lifestyle, and I need to do some reading before I get back into it. Can you remind me of some of your favorite Keto resources @quiltingjaine ?

I’m in. Was feeling so much slimmer – and then I looked at my weight report for the last year and realized I was 162 one year ago … so since Feb. I’ve lost the weight that I gained the 8 months previous. The reports don’t go back that far but I think that I joined when I was freaking out about hitting 160 in 2015. All of this just reminded me how much we adjust to a new “normal” and to a) realize I’m not slim, better than I was but still much, much to go, so don’t get sloppy in my new habits b) celebrate the little victories but also keep an eye on the long term goal.
