@denswrex I've written 17 nonfiction books about dogs & cats, and I write a mystery series.

@DebCountsAll I do the same thing when we get back from a cruise. It’s a lot of logging but I like having the record.

@puttyputty After decades of cutting salt, I am amazed at how good it tastes AND it doesn’t seem to negatively affect my BP either! Hmmm!

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 / 248.8 / Rolled back into my town last night. The drive from Alaska was wonderful, but obviously a lot of sitting on my kiester. I did eat to plan about 70% of the time. I figure these 3.4 pounds should come off pretty easily, and then it will be back to the grind.
8/17 / 247.6 / that is nice.

ROUND 8 FOR ME - Female 58 yrs old 5’ 5” Midwest USA

………We are fierce and so we fight………

Goals: 1. To be an inspiration to my 22 year old Autistic son who started his weight loss journey on May 1, 2018 weighing 308.4 . (He weighs in about once per week- 10 days)
2. Big Goal this round: Break the barrier and hit 179.8 (3 lb. loss)
3. No Bingeing
4. No “cheat days” only occasional “Earn Meals” which are easier to recover from.
5. 10,000 steps per day. Mixed modes of exercise.
6. Lots of water, green tea daily, apple cider vinegar before carby meals.
7. Check my blood sugar daily for improvements.

MY STATS:
Original starting weight: 235 lbs. on 1/11/18

R43 SW= 193.8 EW= 195.6 +1.8 lbs Gain
R44 SW= 195.6 EW= 192.4 - 3.2 lbs Loss
R45 SW= 192.4 EW= 191.4 -1.0 lbs Loss
R46 SW= 191.4 EW= 186.0 -4.4 lbs Loss
R47 SW= 186.0 EW= 186.8 +0.8 lbs Gain
R48 SW= 186.8 EW= 185.4 -1.4 lbs Loss
R49 SW= 185.4 EW= 182.8 -2.6 lbs Loss
R50 SW= 182.8 EW= TBD

Day/Weight/Comment

8/16 - 182.6 YESTERDAY’S STATS: 14 Net Carbs. 1269 / 2442 Calories Out. 8,771 Steps and 3.71 total miles. 12/13 (250) fitbit steps hours. Intermittent fasted 16:8

8/17 - 179.8 Whoosh……. Wow! Imagine if it really stuck! YESTERDAY’S STATS: 14 Net Carbs. 1061 Calories In / 3308 Calories Out. 15,370 total steps and 6.5 total miles for the day including a 1.5 mile walk in neighborhood in which I convinced my son to join me (he does grudgingly sometimes). 13/13 (250 fitbit steps). I intermittent fasted 20:4 which is a testament to how well my sugar numbers are coming down (no weakness or faintness). I usually do 16:8 but was delayed due to being so busy with work yesterday. I expected with my good stats I would see a bump down in weight but this is a nice surprise. My son weighed in at 285.0 again which is no change. He is still down 23.4 lbs. I found out that he has been cheating and had an inspirational talk with him (communication can be tough sometimes with his Autism). That explains his willingness to walk (after our talk). I hope he is back on track.

8/16..138.2.. Got sick with what I think was food poisoning last night, still not at 100%. Scale will probably go back up tomorrow when I feel like I can eat again 🤢
8/17..138.8.. I was able to eat again yesterday, and actually ended up getting chipotle last night. I’ve been doing so well eating at home and not going out, so was bummed I gave into temptation. However, after after the night I had before I gave myself a pass. Back to being hydrated and I’m shocked the scale didn’t go up more than it did. Pretty happy overall. 😊

@tiabirdie56 and @SheilaBoneham It took me 18 months to lose 58 pounds 10 years ago (age 58-59.5) and I was working out 3x/wk the last 12 months. Unlike cheese and wine, it doesn’t get better with age! And Sheila, I need a cat mystery!

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.

8/16 133.5 Soooo, the cat woke me at 4AM because he thought that was a good time for breakfast. I didn’t so was going to put him in his carrier. When I pivoted, the toe of my shoe caught in the grout line and we went down. I hit my ribs on the refrigerator and skinned one knee. Pretty sure I’m going to have a bruise but currently sitting with a well wrapped ice pack on my side. I don’t think anything is broken. I think Oskar is going to be restricted at night to the sewing room and bathroom in the future. (Master suite)
8/17 133.5 I slept in the recliner last night and got over 8 hours in spite of my sore ribs and ice pack. At lunch I ate French fries. They were perfectly cooked - crispy! I ate about 1/3 and gave the rest to Carl. I’m still in nutritional ketosis this morning so that’s good. We’ll see what the scale thinks tomorrow or Sunday!

tiabirdie56 · August 2018

For all interested in the parsley tea: up to 3 times a day, before meals (so, on an empty stomach), use 3 to 5 days then take a break. I usually only need to use parsley short term. I'm always finding new information (to me) about parsley tea benefits. Maybe this would be useful to you also :

@quiltingjaine Sounds like a great cruise! Cats and dogs and other critters in my books - I'm an equal opportunity writer. But Catwalk, #3 in the series, is particularly felicentric.

@quiltingjane sorry to hear about your fall. Hope you feel better soon. I am going on a cruise in about a month. 1st time. I have been thinking about what to take to read too.

@mmebouchon glad your migraine is better. We still have smoke here and I understand from British Columbia too, although we have our own fires in Washington.

Round 50 (#14)

I typically don't set goals because I find myself sabotaging them. Stupid, I know, but it's true. This round I've decided to set one goal:

Stop binge eating my trigger foods which are too numerous to list.

#37: 142.6 - 137.4 = -5.2
#38: 137.4 - 136.8 = -0.6
#39: 136.8 - 136.2 = -0.6
#40: 136.2 - 135.0 = -1.2
#41: 135.0 - 133.6 = -1.4
#42: 133.6 - 134.2 = +0.6
#43: 134.2 - 133.4 = -0.8
#44: 133.4 - 132.4 = -1.0 Body fat 28.0% acceptable range
#45: 132.4 - 132.6 = +0.2
#46: 132.6 - 133.0 = +0.4
#47: 133.0 - 134.8 = +1.8
#48: 134.8 - 137.2 = +2.4
#49: 137.2 - 136.0 = -1.2

8/16: 136.0, 3rd consecutive day of late night binging. Dang, I’m exhausted! Living alone makes this too easy.

8/17: 134.8, yet again... no binging (yay)

texasfarmer · August 2018

Female, 54 years old and 5’8”.

In again. Let’s see if I can work a little harder this round and see better results.

End round 49 - 178.2
Goal round 50 - 176.0.

8/16 -177.8 (-.4 so far) movement in the right direction.

8/17 - 177.6 (-.6 total so far). I certainly dodged a bullet on that weigh in. Had to go to Walmart after work and was soooo hungry...bought and ATE a whole bag of Brachs Bridge Mix. Sooo sooo good! I just have no self control sometimes! Note to self. STAY OUTTA THE STORES!!!

wellnfree · August 2018

This round I’m just back from a trip. So happy that I did not gain. The credit for that is mostly due to family that I was visiting who all eat a lot of fresh vegetables. I tried to make good choices on my days where I was driving but that was so-so.

Ultimate Goal Weight – 128

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16, Wednesday – Last leg of my trip home, long smoky drive from mid Alberta to Kootenays in BC. At one point had one-lane traffic because of fire near the road but overall just hot with smoky haze.
8/17, Thursday – 160.2

Did not gain in my couple of weeks away!! Headache and dead tired from all the driving so will take it easy for a couple of days but stay mindful on the eating.

8/16-285.5 Well, 5 lbs down from starting weight a whooole lot more to go. Really wishing coworkers would stop bringing goodies. I've been pretty good about it, just trying a small portion.
8/17-284.7 Yay! tomorrow probably won't look so pretty...going out to lunch today.

Round 47 - SW 158 EW 152.5 (-5.5 lbs)
Round 48 - SW 152.5 EW 150 (-2.5 lbs)
Round 49 - SW 150 EW 147 (-3 lbs)

5 '-1"

8/16 - 147. Post and run today, but I'll be back later tonight to read all of the posts ahead of mine. I started SL 5x5 this week with the tiniest amount of weight on my barbell and did my second session last night. Looking forward to getting stronger and adding more weight to my lifts.
8/17 - 146. Happy to see the lower number, I can get back into most of my big clothes now and am wearing a pair of jeans today that I haven't worn in a year. Oops, I'd even outgrown my larger sizes there for a bit! The clothes that currently fit me are the hardest worn, it's the size that I never want to shop. I bought 5 pairs of even larger pants near the beginning of round 47 (round 1 for me) and now they are all loose.
