Round 60 * -0.06

Round 65 * +3.3 (WHAT????)

01/23 181.9 This is getting to be too much. In 20 days I'm down 1 pound. There is a part of me that thought I'd skip this round. It's too depressing for me when I'm eating within calories and staying focused on exercise with no weight loss. I honestly had one bad calorie day on Sunday, every other day I have been within goal. I keep expecting a whoosh that isn't coming. I need to accept I'm here - not at 178 like I was for a few days. Old Kris tells me to give up and eat whatever I want and how much I want. Screw walking, screw the gym, forget the stupid C25K idea you're too old, fat, out of shape etc. I need to slap the crap out of Old Kris (OK), because that's what I've done every time. Keep me accountable people. I need this challenge.
01/24 181.9 Still here. I walked three freezing miles yesterday and fell on the stupid ice. I'm not walking today, my body is a little sore. I fell on ice twice this week, I think that's a sign. Plus they have temperature warnings for this afternoon, frost bite can set in within 15 minutes of exposure. A good sign to take the night off. My calories were low yesterday, didn't eat back my exercise calories but over on sodium. I guess that's why I'm stuck. On a positive note, have you guys tried the Green Giant Fresh bowls? I had the Teriyaki sauce with sesame seeds bowl last night with a chopped up chicken breast and it was delicious. Thank you again for the support yesterday. The picture below is from my walk yesterday. Stupid winter.
01/25 181.4 Down finally. No exercise, food within goal. It's so cold (overnight 3 degrees, -12 windchill) I couldn't even think about walking outside.
01/26 180.0 I posted this yesterday but somehow it didn’t save.
01/27 178.5 The whoosh that took 10 days??? Who knows who cares, I’m happy with it. Thanks again for the support. You people helped me get back here.

SW: 210.8
GW: 140ish

R64: 207.8-200.8 (-7.0lbs)
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.

2/26: 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.

1/27: 197.0 - 😆 oh boy! This is why I didn’t change my round goal weight after getting in the 196.x. Was under calories yesterday, and had an extra active day with my kids (and a nap 🎉), but didn’t have dedicated exercise, only got 80oz of water, and my Fitbit needed to be recharged, so I imagine I was close on steps and calories burned but just don’t know for sure.

@shunggie - my woosh took 11 days last time - torture! Congrats on a new decade!

tiabirdie56 · January 2019

@deepwoodslady, I season my spaghetti squash with salt, garlic powder, dried basil and thyme before baking. Sometimes I eat it as is with a pat of butter or melt cheese over it. I also use it as a base for meat or poultry entrees too, like other people use rice, pasta or riced cauliflower.

@noynoyavery I love to sew but have arthritis I my neck so have to be careful with the duration of my machine time. I tried quilting which everyone seems to think is relaxing but I do not find that to be the case. I have a friend with a long arm who has offered to let me use it. One of these days I will try it.

@BethE238 What alcohol and/or mixers do you drink?

@AR10at50 Karen, I’ve also hit DONE in error! Grrr Another thing that irritates me is hitting the refresh at the bottom and discovering that the posts do not all load. When I post my comments to others (like this bunch) I have to hit DONE to get what has been posted since I started reading. Now I pay attention to the time of the last post I’ve read and go back to that after closing and reopening the Community page.

@tiabirdie56 and @deepwoodslady Tish and Donna, one of my favorite ways to fix spaghetti squash is my own version of Alfredo. Butter, garlic, pepper, parsley, Parmesan, and HWC.

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.

01/23 129.5 Awake before 5AM again. UGH. I think it’s the neighbor’s dog. Once I sat down with my coffee I listened to it barking from 5:15 until about 6:30 — nonstop!
01/24 130.5 Had Greek salad with gyro, half for lunch, half for dinner yesterday. Finally some bathroom action! Mammo and Dexa this morning, DGDs basketball and cheer tonight.
01/25 129.0 Didn’t go to b-ball because the check engine light went on in my car. Will take it to dealer as we head out of town for the day. Lunch over the hump in Pahrump!
01/26 128.5 Spent a few hours visiting with our friends yesterday and had a wonderful steak salad, well, half of it. I will eat the other half today.

Round 63 - 160.6, +1.2
Round 64 – 161.6, +.6
Round 65 – 162.2, -.4

Round 66 – 161.8
Goal this round: To get out of the 160’s or at least consistently not above 160. Right now even ½ lb. per round would seem great. This is the same goal as last round but I made it down .4 so will keep working from there. My short term goal is to be down at least 6 lb. by the end of March. That is just .8/Round but for me would be great progress.
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128; Hoping to be under 140 by end of June. (Not sure if this is possible for me but even well down in the 150’s would be better than where I am at now.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/23 – 162.8 – Good day yesterday with no LNS. Maybe a lag on the blip up I was expecting from Sunday.
01/24 – 162.8 – Good day and good workout at the gym. Maybe a drop in a day or so.
01/25 – 161.8 – Here we are back at start finally. Unfortunately had a funeral yesterday (very elderly father of a friend) and the usual food afterwards. Kept it minimal but have no idea of the cals. and am sure it put me over. I guess we’ll see.
01/26 – 162.4 – Got a call during supper, finished later and, of course, ate more and did not track. Not likely too wildly over. So resolve for today is to track all. Such a pain but just have to get over that.

01/24 194.4 (+0.6) Darn, oh well, I know I’m logging my food, and exercising everyday. A little fluctuation does help me reevaluate my day. I am not getting enough water . Making that a focus today.
01/25 195.4 (+1.6) Double darn, I know I have logged everyday, been under 1800 calories, burned 500+ calories. Weight fluctuates so I won’t let a number get me down. Keep swimming!
01/26 194.0 (+0.2)That’s better!!! Been a crazy week, but still focused on my healthy lifestyle. Quote, “The mind is everything, what you think you become.”
01/27 194.2 (+0.4) wrong food choices yesterday.🍕 My body isn’t happy with me. Focus on feeding myself real food, my body always responds with feeling energized rather than lethargic.

Round 66 (My 20th)

01/23 143 Late posting but I'm going to try not to forget a day this round 🙂. Still grying to focus on IF, for the most part have done well. Also could do better with water intake. Good luck friends!
01/24 143 Tonight we are going out to eat to a wing place, so there may be a temporary gain tomorrow.
01/25 143.5 I expected a little gain, had a cocktail and wings last night and wing chips. Was so good though!
01/26 144 LNS got to me last night, I didn't just snack, I had pancakes! Drinking lots of water today.
01/27 144 Well I'll never reach my goals if I keep eating like I have this weekend. We had fast food last night. Going to the grocery store today because I'm out of a lot of healthy foods, that should help for sure. Time to make things better this round. My husband has taken a lot of work off lately just to burn some of his vacation time, and it's so much harder for me to stay on track when he's home. He goes back to work tomorrow, so this coming week should be better.

01/23 - 156 -- Yeah. The cake yesterday. I'm mostly in a better frame of mind today and TOM left, finally, after a two week visit!
01/24 - 154.5 -- Here we go again. Down below start weight. Now to see if I can end below start weight!
01/25 - 152.5 -- Whoosh! I feel I deserve it, but trying not to get too excited given all the ups and downs lately.
01/26 - 151.5 -- Still holding my breath. Been back on the keto train after the cake wreck....
01/27 - 151 -- Clearly something is working right...Although I guess this has happened before, with wild bounces followed by a drop, followed by more bounces. This challenge definitely helps me ride the roller coaster!

R65 SW: 214.7 EW: 215.1 AW: 215.0 (-0.6)

Goal: As a furloughed employee I didn't really how much of a challenge it would be for me to get my water in without the daily structure of work, so my goal for this round is to figure out a method that will work for me to get my water in while I am off work.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/23--214.9 I am going to try a new plan to get my water in...I have a pitcher that I am going to fill with water and I'll place it on the table so that I can see the pitcher throughout the day. Hopefully, this will remind me to drink my water. Today is run day, hopefully the rain lets up soon. Yoga tonight.
01/24--214.9 The water pitcher idea from yesterday worked!

Even though I increased my water intake yesterday, I also did a lot of mindless snacking yesterday, so I need to work on that today. Finished w2d2 of c25k yesterday; however, I woke up this morning with some pain around the knee, so I don't know if I will be going to the gym today. I think I will do some stretching/foam rolling and if the knee feels better I will go to the gym later this evening, if no change then I will just skip the gym today.
01/25--214.9 Third day in a row for this weight. Finished w2d3 today, so far so good.
01/26--214.0 There's the drop, let's see if it will hold. Going out for long walk with my dog group.
01/27--214.2 Did over 6 miles of walking with my dog group yesterday, my legs were so sore this morning that I did not want to go to the gym, but I forced myself to go and while it wasn't pretty, I did my weightlifting. Relaxing for the rest of the day to get myself ready for a return to work tomorrow.

Round 66 SW: 214.6

01/23—216.8— Not an unexpected bump. I'm back to retaining water, have some digestive funkiness, and TOM looms. I didn't get 45 to continue to the next round of my push ups challenge, but I'm stoked because I got to 40. (42 if I count the two terrible ones at the end where I lost my form and nearly faceplanted.) So I went from 31 to 40 in ten days. Progress!

01/24—215.8—Had a lot of guesswork in my calories yesterday. I estimated high but lunch was plain chicken breast on plain salad. (I hate conference food!) Today will be more sedentary than yesterday, so I'll need to be mindful and keep moving.

01/25—216.6—TOM and non-ideal eating. Boo. I ate back all of my exercise calories, which I don't tend to like to do. I don't feel great, but I don't feel terrible either, which is a win!

01/26—217—This was after drinking a couple of glasses of water.

01/27—215.8—Late weigh-in. I felt really awful this morning so I went back to bed.

@BethE238, First of all, Welcome to ONEDERLAND! And, okay, come on over! I'll prepare something special. I love to cook!😀 What I eat everyday doesn't seem that exciting to me, tastes good though.😁

@eminater, How are you doing? Back in ONEDERLAND yet? I remember that it took me a minute to stabilize under 200. Keep hammering with proper eating and exercise.

@quiltingjaine, Thanks for the welcome back! Your spaghetti squash recipe sounds good! I'm not such a big fan of Alfredo or any creamy sauces, for that matter, but will eat it once in a while. I like my vegetables plain for the most part, steamed with herbs added, boiled in chicken or vegetable broth or roasted.

@noynoyavery, Lol. @deepwoodslady gave it the name. It's infused water for fluid retention. I usually post the recipe at the beginning of a new thread, but Internet issues hindered that for this round. Here it is:

This one is the triple threat.
●Infused water for fluid retention

▪1/2 gallon purified water
▪1 cucumber sliced
▪2 lemons, sliced or juiced added to water
▪10 sprigs of parsley

■ Let it steep overnight or for at least 2 hours and drink it throughout the day.

Flush, Cleanse and Detox Water Recipe from SkinnyMS

6 wedges pink grapefruit

2 peppermint or mint leaves

•Instructions•

01/27 149.6 YES! Second goal met, 3rd is 145 , mild hangover not good! Smoothies seem to be helping with this weight loss, some are as thick as a mcdonalds milkshake , so my plan is to find some more combos. Plans for Yoga but HITT plans say today is a rest day, alas I also have dinner out with my mother planned today, and to watch the new Mary Poppins film, I'm treating myself to an at home clay body wrap. I promised myself a pamper treat every 5 lbs I lose and then 10lbs a salon treatment. , 0.9lb to half a stone loss so far.

A New Decade for you! That's wonderful. Your hard work is really paying off. Enjoy the movie & let us know how it was. I missed it at all the theaters within 2 hours of my home & may have to wait for Netflix to play it. : ( I hope you will enjoy dinner & movie with your mom, what a great Sunday!

deepwoodslady · January 2019

@quiltingjaine and @tiabirdie56 Thanks for the spaghetti squash ideas. When I make it, it is always the same: made with meat spaghetti sauce, and that is how I often zoodle so it's a bit redundant. I will try butter, herb & cheese and also yummy alfredo with the Heavy Whipping Cream. This gives me a couple of different recipes to switch back & forth from & I appreciate it very much. Variety makes me feel "special" lol. Like I have a personal chef at home. Ahhh... the delusions of grandeur. Anyway, I am going out of town shopping on Wednesday (oh those pesky travel carbs in the restaurants!) and I will be getting more of the squash. Now, I can't wait! Thanks again.

tiabirdie56 · January 2019

I must say, after over 1 year with very little junk carbs and bread/grains, I still do not crave them. I'm eating them because they're in my presence. Also, I need to have my Son or Niece take a comparison photo of me. I just passed 1 year of IF now coming up on 1 year of keto in February. I guess I need to be good with the carbs. LOL. Honestly, IF and Keto work so well together for me, that I've been purposefully holding up my weightloss with eating carbs. I want my body to catch up, need to gain my muscle back. I told @MadisonMolly2017 that I feel bony. It might sound FANTASTIC! to lose weight so quickly, but it can be kind of scary. I have a pic of me from March 2018 holding my grandson. When I looked at it I was shocked. My face was so gaunt! I never noticed this looking in the mirror every day.

FarmerCarla · January 2019

@debwhite66 I'm getting used to the scale staying the same or going up after my long walks. Within a day or two, it invariably goes down. It must have to do with fluid retention in our legs. I walked 6.4 miles yesterday, calories basically the same as the day before, and my weight increased .2 lb. Sometimes, it's worse! We have to be patient.

ROUND 66 (Round 12 for me)
5’5” 66 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 135 lb.
Cumulative weight loss for Rounds 54-65 = 36.4 lb.
I started Round 54 and Keto WOE on September 24, 2018. My arthritis hip and shoulder pain have decreased significantly since my second week of Keto. Staying within calorie limits is easy enough, but not exceeding my carb limit is still tricky for me. I check my ketone level with a KetoMojo meter a couple of times a week to make sure my numbers are good. Some of my NSVs: feeling less self-conscious, wedding band fits, smaller clothing, a happy husband, and inspiring said husband to work a little harder on quitting his cigarette habit. The closer I get to my goal, the more excited and motivated I become! Don’t expect me to disappear when I reach maintenance. I like you folks, and I really appreciate and enjoy your company!

Day/Weight/Comment

01/23 143.4 (sigh) Easy come, easy go. I’m up almost 2 pounds from my weigh-in yesterday. If I’d gone back to bed, I wonder how long it would have taken to go down? Oh well, I had to go to work and a foot doctor appointment this afternoon. I’m less than 10 lb. from my goal, and I will get there. It may not go down tomorrow. It’s cold, and I’m treating myself to a glass of dry red wine. I prefer sweet, but this is pretty good. It’s probably good because I’m not used to sugar anymore. As long as I’m ready for our cruise in April, I’ll be happy. I found out my daughter and her husband are signed up for the same cruise (not planned), and my granddaughter called from Kansas, very excited, to say they’ve decided to take her out of school that week so she can go! We love cruising with and spending time with my granddaughter and took her to Alaska last summer. She has a boyfriend now, so I expect her to start spending less time with me, and over 700 miles between us doesn’t help, either. Please excuse me, but I’m using these daily posts as a journal and keeping copies. Kill two birds with one stone kind of thing?
01/24 141.0 Yesterday’s gain is gone, so I’m glad I didn’t stress over it. I’ve corrected my priorities after someone in the Christian MFP group I belong to asked if we were more diligent about logging in MFP than we were about our Bible study. I found myself guilty, so Bible study is now done with breakfast rather than logging in here first. I played cards with friends today, and I took Thor for a 5 mile walk this afternoon. It was a very pleasant day.
01/25 141.4 Hmm…. it’s up just a little, so I’m still good. Last night, I was pleased to discover I’m already doing better, and more, pushups and sit-ups. I’m getting stronger! I hoped to go to lunch or leave work early today, but lots of folks are ready to complete their tax returns. I ate two boiled eggs and a little slice of cheddar for breakfast and didn’t get another chance to eat until I arrived home this evening. Actually, our break room has lots of candy and other carb-laden snacks, but I know better than to give in. I made it through the day!
01/26 140.4 I slept in this morning, then had a busy day. Thor and I got in a 6.4 mile walk, and my husband and I grocery shopped and had dinner at Denny’s this evening. It was good—the senior tilapia with salad, broccoli, and squash—all keto approved. I still have to get in my sit-ups and pushups before bedtime.
01/27 140.6 My walks are still taking time to pay off, but I can wait. I stayed up late last night, then rose early this morning for church. I’m about to take my Sunday nap, then I’ll try a couple of new recipes. It’s nice having meals I can just heat up during the week, especially on days I work.
