I usually measure in stone and just convert that to pounds for the site, however I’ll be switching my scale to pounds so I can get the oz reading each day.
01/22 – 132lb (pre-scale change)

Day/Weight/Comment

01/23 -131.8 (Been 9st 6lb for a few days so don't know rate the oz's have dropped. Will be interesting to see)
01/24 -132.2 (Had quite a bit of salt yesterday, so may be water retention.)
01/25 -131.4 (That's better. So that would mean I'm 9st 5lb now right? Had real tasty food yesterday. Pork tenderloin stuffed with garlic, kale, mushrooms and chorizo. Served with wild mushroom gravy and veggie mash, for lunch. Keto crème brûlée for desert. Then had a mini omelette (mushroom, bacon, bell pepper) with guacamole for dinner. Satisfying day )
01/26 -131.4 (Had a nice massage yesterday. Late birthday treat. They had a lot of sugary snacks on hand in the waiting area. Biscuits being offered, chocolates on the table, gummy sweets to the side; It was a challenge to resist free offerings. Then when I had a cup of tea, 2 little biscuits with dark chocolate and coconut covering were served beside it. Warred with myself for 5mins before I ended up having them. After searching for them online, 2 of them come to 7g carbs. So much for such small biscuits. But I was able to resit asking for more or going 'oh well might as well splurge now and have that chocolate too'. I managed to keep to my carb limits for the day.)

01/22: 124.0 Today was a fair day.
01/25: 123.4 I ate about 600 calories in candy instead of lunch. Ha. Love a good sabotage.
01/26: 123.4 I need to keep in mind - "Just give me 10 days" next time I 'want' to eat candy instead of a real meal. Another poster mentioned something similar above, I have started to either feel I deserve to eat whatever I want or I am at an ok weight so therefore I can afford to eat poorly thinking it won't affect me too negatively. Or it could be something else entirely. I must stop doing it. Stop doing for the next 7 days would be a good start! I will.

01/23 - 140 - 1743
I made chicken pot pie (single crust) last night - delish! but too much fat (butter, cream...). So I believe veggie soup is on the schedule tonight or tomorrow night! On the plus side, I've been back to weight training for about 3 weeks now and have increased the weights significantly, so am happy to see that I hadn't lost all previous progress on the strength front. Note to women losing weight - take care of your bones during the process! Talk to your doctor about checking Vit D level and your possible need for D and K and magnesium, and keep up weight-bearing exercise. My last DexaScan (bone density) showed significant bone density loss, probably due to significant weight loss the previous 3 years. We have to take care of our bodies as we reshape them.

01/24 - 139.2 - 1743
Last night I made a big pot of minestrone and had that with bread I baked a couple days ago. So good! Off to the gym and planning to hunker down tomorrow - minus 20 wind chill expected. Aaack! Stay warm if you're also in the way of this!

01/25 - 139.2 - 1802
Yep, it's cold outside! Not as bad as predicted, though, so I'll go to the Y. Did I mention I'm a cold weather wimp after 8 years on the southern coast of NC? ;-) Anyway, I'm back on track food wise, finally, and have channeled my baking urge into whole-grain bread instead of cookies and cakes. Better for us and I'm not tempted between meals!

01/26 - 139.2 - 1796
Anyone else in the cold zones inclined to hibernate until March? I love early mornings Spring though Fall, but right now I struggle to get myself out of bed in the morning. My kitten makes sure I get up, though! >^..^< Have a great weekend, all.

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.

R65: 200.8–200.6 (-0.2lbs)

R66: SW 200.6 GW 197.x
Daily goals: drink 100oz or more of water; no alcohol; stay around my 1200 calories; dedicated 1hr of exercise 8/10 days; 15k steps; 3k calorie burn via Fitbit

1/23: 198.8 - thank goodness! 🤩 Onederland! This was the woosh I was expecting all last round. Hit all my goals yesterday.

1/24: 198.2 - met, and exceeded, all my goals yesterday. Tried drinking 150oz of water, which is recommended for my weight by a lot of calculators, but had to get up 3x during the night, so I’ll stick with the 100oz still, which allows me to sleep through the night. I made oatmeal chocolate chip walnut cookies with the kids yesterday AM, and have so far resisted having one. Normally I would crave one for breakfast with my coffee, but sweet doesn’t sound *as good* in the AMs after trying to do high protein in the mornings for the last month (this is a great NSV for me!), and I know if I start my day with one, it could all go downhill fast. Also, I tried switching 1 of my coffees for 1-2 black teas over the past week, and I was getting headaches, so I am back to coffee with milk (the only time I ever get headaches, for the last 20 years, has been from lack of caffeine.)

1/25: 196.6 - whoa, totally unexpected, but I’ll take it! Had a stressful day, and got some very bad news. Hit all my goals, but didn’t eat nutritiously.

1/26: 196.8 - hit all my goals except dedicated exercise and 3k calories burn estimated by Fitbit (I had 2700.) My husband had to stay late at work and by the time he got home it was too late to go to the gym. It wasn’t supposed to be a rest day, so I am kind of bummed.

Also, today marks 1 month since I started. I’ve lost 14lbs total, have only had alcohol once (next round I’ll start adding it back carefully - I credit alcohol calories with a majority of my weight gain), feel like I mostly have a good and sustainable routine with getting to the gym (making it routine is always hard for me), and I have more energy in general. I think I’ve lost at least two inches off my waist, but I didn’t measure right away, so I won’t officially measure again until next week. My skin is the most noticeable difference too me - it looks great and glowing with all the water and workouts. This group has been super motivating and inspirational and I appreciate you all! Having a place to report in is definitely helping me stick to my daily goals more than I would have otherwise.

01/23 - 179.6 lbs / I've been doing pretty well so far today. I took a 15 minute walk during my break & I've had 32 oz of water so far. Hopefully, I do well during the whole challenge.
01/24 - 179 exactly today. I did a little cardio when I got home yesterday & didn't have a big dinner.
01/25 - So today I weighed in at 180. I did really good with my calories yesterday, and I worked out after work. Not really sure why the scale doesn't reflect the hard work, but then again I did have a little fried food for dinner
01/26 - 180.6 today. Yesterday was not great calorie wise & tonight I'm taking my mom to a seafood buffet for her birthday. I'll just start fresh tomorrow.

ROUND 24 FOR ME.

“I DON’T STOP WHEN I’M TIRED - I STOP WHEN I’M DONE”





Goals:

Weight:
Short Term Goal: Lose 2 pounds this round.
First Long Term Weight Goal: To weigh 175 by Valentine’s Day 💗💗💗 I hope to achieve this by losing about 1.5 pounds per week (or 2 lbs per round).
My Second Long Term Weight Goal: To weigh 155 by my Birthday on May 10th by sticking to my plan to lose 1.5 pounds per week (or 2 lbs per round).
My third Long Term Weight Goal: To weigh 145 by the 4th of July using the same plan as above.
Exercise:
During each Weight goal I plan on increasing my walking (back to what I did when I was on a downward trend). I also want to increase my cardio and regularly use weights to help firm my flabby arms.

Day/Weight/Comment

01/23 ….. 187.1 ….. This thing we always hear about it being hard to lose weight in the winter…. Well, they ain’t kiddin’ folks! It’s not just the holidays! It’s being stuck in during these snow storms & much much more. I’m eating my stress & emotions for sure as I’m stuck inside during this current 10” of snow. Going out to shovel again in a minute-I do love it like some of the other gal so it will help. The inspector yesterday was very nice. He took a ton of pictures (some I cringe a bit on). The full report will come from the insurance company in the next couple of weeks. It will contain all the pics & what they expect me to take care of. We’re always talking lots of $$$$. And what can I do in this weather? Not paint. Not roofing. Not cement repair. Ugggg. Ridiculous. Why don’t they come in the spring? Anyhoo, no dancing yesterday. LNS last night with emotional & stress eating. I am going to work much harder today on my mindset and plan. Lots of dancing in the works! Best of luck to all on this wonderful new round!
01/24 ….. 186.8 ….. Yesterday was great. Right on plan. IF 18:6 Over six hours of sleep which is phenomental for me! 21 Net Carbs. 1062 Calories. 16,231 steps. 6.93 miles of activity. 13/13 steps hours on fitbit. I danced 53 minutes (my son danced 39 of them with me!) Sample song: Beautiful Loser by Bob Segar. I usually do 10 or 11 songs working my way up in tempo to my peak song then back down but all are dancing beats of some type. I do everything from the twist to the Carleton and look like a fool. Lots of arm movement for the bat wings. Speaking of bat wings, maybe I should try the funky chicken lol. And no, I haven’t learned the floss dance yet, but my son said he would teach me! Anyway, I realized today that I am going to have to change my ticker if I don’t get back to my pre-Christmas weight soon, and I don’t want to do that, so I add that to my goals. Tonight is the potluck at the Pool Hall. I haven’t been in about 5 or maybe 6 weeks due to time constraints. I will try not to make it a food frenzy. I will eat something healthy & within plan before I go. I deserve a night out, but I also deserve to keep my ticker, so that will stay first & foremost on my mind.
01/25 187.3 Pool Hall & potluck at the Moose went well last night. I was a bit over on carbs and calories but ate way less than my old days. No dancing yesterday but I did get in a 35 minute walk. IF 16:8. 10,193 steps total. 4.34 miles. 12/13 step hours. 2301 calories burned. 4 hours 30 minutes of sleep. Today I am “safe” back at home and will be on point with eating plan & exercise. I enjoyed last night but the “interested man” totally ignored me. I think he didn’t like that I hadn’t shown up in 5 or 6 weeks during all the holidays & then emergencies at my home & business. Oh, well. My life & time is my own for the first time in my life and I’m enjoying that major advantage. Right now I’m in a pretty good place with all of it. I do miss my husband, but I don’t get too lonely because I stay so busy. Also, I don’t miss the dating stuff so I am okay with it. I enjoyed my time with my friend and came home afterward & we watched an episode of “The marvelous Mrs. Maisel” on Amazon for a TV/movie night. We’ve been trying to have a TV/movie night a couple times a week since my livingroom remodel. It was relaxing & nice. Today, however, I will be flapping my (bat) wings again. Sometimes, if the songs get a bit fast for my fitness level, I find myself resorting to the twist. I just want to publicly thank Chubby Checker for all the years of entertainment and for the inspiration. Also for a dance that "fits in" when nothing else will. Also to Ann Margaret (and Elvis) for the Watusi. Sometimes it works too. I love hitting my peak level! Have a good day everyone. I'm off for my first set! Meghan Trainor, I’m comin’ for ya!
01/26 ….. 187.1….. 14 Net Carbs. 1365 Calories. I burned 2604 calories. 13,363 steps overall. 5.71 miles overall. 13/13 step hours on fitbit. Slept 4 hours 23 minutes which is typical. My awake/eating window is bigger than normal due to such little daily sleep so I keep it in check with 16:8 IF. I aerobic danced 53 minutes. One of the songs was “Give credit where credit is due” by Meghan Trainor. It had the right beat over some of her other songs I actually like better. I stayed on my eating plan & my macros were about perfect. I was very pleased with that since I fight to get in all my protein. Overall it was a strong day. I hope you all are enjoying your weekend. Happy MFP Anniversary to @aFit50 . You continue to do so well & you inspire us all!
