amfmmama · February 2019

Round 64 SW 219 EW 213 not expecting another drop like this, but happy to report it!
Round 65 SW 211 EW 208.6 2.4 loss
Round 66 SW 208.2 EW 203.8 4.4 loss
Round 67 SW 204.6 EW 202.8 1.8 loss
Round 68 SW 202.8 EW 200.2 I saw Onderland, but now I need to see ONEderland, and stay for a while!
Round 69 203.8 UGH....

02/22 - SORRY
02/23 - I AM
02/24 - LATE!
02/25 - 203.8 NYC was fantastic, but I ate more than I could walk off, and I walked A LOT ! That's ok...I am back on track.
02/26 - 201.6 Although I enjoyed the yumminess of NYC, I feel so much better just 2 days back on track!
02/27 - 200 I will be happy if I just get back on track this round.... so far so good! Also, weird recipe trick to share, made chicken salad last night. Usually do it with all light mayo. Last night I cut the mayo way back (from 4 tablespoons to less then 2) by adding chicken broth... so good !
02/28 - 199.8 Out to dinner for my dad's 80th last night, didn't anticipate a loss, so it may creep up tomorrow... Had a delicious meal, but did not go too crazy, and saved a lot of my calories for dinner.

Hi-I’m Karen
Sept. 2018 OSW 187 (My Round #1)
UGW 135.....yes, 135!

2/22-166-I leave my dad today, after taking care of him and his new knee. After the weekend, will go to where my husband and I are going to live. I look forward to living with my husband and getting to walk up and down the long paved driveway there, where we will be living (waiting for the house to be built).

2/23-166-Yesterday before I left my dad’s house, I rode 20 last miles on his bike. My legs were sore the rest of the day and that felt good. Today we will go help set up and work at a fundraiser that will have heavy food, lots of drinks and it will be a late night.
2/24-169-Heavy food and a late night. I need to drink lots of water and no alcohol. Hopefully I can get a walk in later. Enjoy the rest of your weekend everybody!!!
2/25-169-That’s OK after long hours and n the car and quick heavy dinner. We made it to our new temporary housing while our house is being built. It is great because there is a long paved driveway and I can walk the dogs every day.😊
2/26 -164-yipee! Signs of the weekend are finally gone. I walked 4 miles fast yesterday, and logged my food & drank water.
2/27-167-Walked 5 miles; the dogs love it! Heavy lunch & too many chips and dip before dinner. Once the weather gets better, I can walk 30 min. after dinner and that really helps. I need to get sewing today; I’m falling behind!😳

2/28-167-Nothing like Mexican food....that big bowl of chips, a burrito and a beer. I should get back down to that 164 I saw and I don’t have many days to do it. I’ve been walking 5 miles a day and it’s going to start paying off.

I am glad all of you are here! I love reading all of your posts while I drink my coffee in the morning. ☕️🌷

Round 69 * ???

02/22 179.1 Going down is always good. I got in a three mile walk last night, unfortunately I woke up feeling like crap. I've had breakfast and a pill, I hope to feel better soon. I want to walk tonight but since I also want to go to bed it doesn't look good. I took this as I was leaving the park last night. I thought it looked cool.
02/23 176.5 Down again is good news. Bad news is I’m completely sick. Left work early yesterday and was back in bed and asleep by 11:00 a.m. Ate enough food to keep medicine down but not much else. No walk last night or today. Fingers crossed I’ll be back to normal tomorrow.
02/24 175.5 Down again still good. I suspect it will be up tomorrow, only because I haven't really eaten much for two days. Feeling better this morning after a rough night. Still achy but no fever and I can breathe! So fancy. My joints hurt, I feel like junk from laying down for 48 hours I as much as being sick. I did have a NSV while being sick. Last week a friend talked me into buying a nightgown that was super cheap but a Large, she was sure it would fit - I was sure it wouldn't. Last night I tried it anyway and it fit. Like it's not even tight, it just fits. That felt good.
02/25 173.8 Whoosh!!!!! Six pounds in three days. I don't know if it's from being sick or finally getting rid of retained water. I don't care I'm a happy girl. I did get in a short walk yesterday (only two miles) but got tired quickly. I listened to my body and went home. I took my dog with me even though I knew better because it rained the day before. The sidewalk/trail was clear "mostly" but the front seat of my car is a muddy dog mess. He just gets so excited when I'm putting my shoes on, he's hard to resist. Look how excited he is on the trail ... could you say no??? These pics were not from yesterday but he looks so happy.

Also at 173 I've hit a forty pound loss, which means I'm half way there. I know I've said it before but I don't think I'd be this far down the road without this group. When I'm discouraged because it feels like I'm doing everything right but it's not reflected on the scale - this group helps me. A thousand thank yous.
02/26 175.5 I knew yesterday's low should be attributed to being sick and not my excellent dieting technique. I'm still happy with this number - it was the goal I had set for this round so I have time to beat it! Now if only Planet Sub would stop sending me the $3.99 coupons. I look at my calorie goal like a budget (I'm a banker I guess it shows) I have 1400 calories to spend every day. My favorite sandwich is 578 calories, with adjustments I can absolutely fit that in, unfortunately the sodium is 1729. Since I have discovered that I can retain water for like 10 days it hardly seems worth it for one sandwich. Oh well off to the gym tonight for weight lifting. I missed going last week but when you travel for work you have to find your exercise where you can when you're on the road. Happy Tuesday everyone the sun has shined for two days in a row that makes everything a little better.
02/27 176.3 I was supposed to stay in town this week, but something came up and I had to go to St. Louis. I drove over yesterday afternoon. I walked 3.2 miles on the dreadmill at the hotel. After all my back and forth on getting a sandwich yesterday, I lost the sodium battle when my roommate made homemade stir fry for dinner. Even with lite soy it has mirin and other delicious stuff. Tons of veggies though

02/28 No Scale Stayed within calorie goal. A day full of meetings then another trip on the treadmill because its supposed to be snowy and cold this afternoon. I did bring some warm clothes so if it's not actively snowing maybe I can just walk around the neighborhood of the hotel. Have a good day everyone.

Day/Weight/Comment

02/22 - 144.4
I did a little better yesterday, but still snacked a bit. Step by step, pound by pound, back to where I was before November - no sugar or salt cravings.

02/23 - 143.4
I have to bake cornbread this afternoon for a chili & cornbread cook off/fundraiser tonight, so salad for lunch -- and I'm hitting the gym this morning. We'll see if I continue to downward trend despite - ymmmm - cornbreads to sample! Have a lovely weekend, all.

02/24 - 145
Ooops. Too many chili samples, bowls, & cornbreads, and salt. Good, though! This gain is temporary. On to the new week, starting today. Have a good Sunday, and week to come!

02/25 - 145
I mostly behaved myself yesterday, other than some cookies at UU. But we had high winds and once home I didn't want to go back out to the Y, so not much exercise beyond a little cleaning/organizing. I plan to get there today for weights & walking and/or biking. And I'm determined to stick to my calorie goal this week. I hope.

@TerriRichardson112 Lovely photo! Where are you? I'm guessing Ireland since Scotland is a smudge? I'm dying to get back to both sometime soon - my ma was Scottish, and I've loved Ireland since my first visit.

02/26 - 145
OK, I guess I'll sit here for a few days. That's fine, I know I'm eating better and it will fall away eventually. Off to the Y in a few minutes - I feel so virtuous when I stick to my exercise plan.

02/27 - 146
Whaaa??? OK, whatever. I'm doing everything right; results will follow. Off to the Y and then the grocery for veggies - making minestrone for tomorrow. Mmmmm.

02/28 - 145
Off to the Y in a few for exercise and a fitness evaluation. Should be interesting. I'm baking bread this afternoon for a potluck this evening with my Sisters in Good Company group - love them, and the food at potluck so is always yummy and mostly healthful. Hoping to get some writing in while the bread bakes - I just started the first book in a new mystery series (I'm 4 books into another series but the publisher went out of business :-( ), and I'm all wound up as I get it going. It's easy to get lost in it and sit on my butt too long - we all know this about computers or knitting or cross stitch or reading or...., right? - so I set an interval timer to get me up every 25 min to move around for 5. Helps a lot! I also have a standing computer stand, but find it hard to use for real concentration. I'm working on that. Anyway, I'm looking forward to a good, busy, low-calorie, healthful day and wish the same for all of you!

Day/Weight/Commment
2/22 - 315.8 - This was nice to see. And I have been sticking to my weighing plan. I’m still a little stressed from the other night; it kinda triggered my PTSD. BUT I am calmer this afternoon. Food has still been good; it’s just been more of a struggle.
2/23 - NW - Yesterday, I was on par with eating, maybe a little light due to being out of the apartment during key eating times. Today, similar thing and I am out of olives, BUT I have a plan. I did a heartbreaking episode of Zombies, Run! yesterday and will do another one today. Since the sun has come out I am going to do it outside instead of pacing in my apartment or walking circles around the community room. As the weather turns to more warm days I will start doing Z5K training, AGAIN, but this time I should be able to finish it. I have hope for more activity in the future.
2/24 - 312.2 - I walked outside yesterday! It's more challenging outside with the ups and downs of the landscape vs the flat ground of the community room or my apartment, and I loved every moment of it. If it's not too cold I'm going to repeat it today, just a supply run not a full episode of Zombies, Run! Food is fairly on point according to the sheet the dietitian gave me. I'm settling down emotionally from the trigger earlier in the week.
2/25 - NW - The temperature dropped, so even though it was sunny I couldn't go outside to walk. I did a supply run on Zombies, Run! for 47 minutes (new record walking), and then later I did an episode of Zombies, Run!. The episode was good and tugged at my heart a little. I also finally learned about project Greenshoot, why runner 5 originally came to Able Township back in season 1. So, it was a good episode. My food supplies are running low, critically low and I have no resources; so, tomorrow my CSS is taking me to Crosslines to pick up some food. I'm not crazy about going to food pantries as it's not a lot healthy stuff, but won't matter if I end up starving either. In the meantime I'm managing to eat healthy based off of what I have on hand.
2/26 - 308.4 - I walked outside again yesterday. I threw on my light covering and went despite the wind. The sun was (and is) shining! The community room was taken by people playing Bingo, and I did not feel like pacing in my apartment when it was so beautiful outside. I stayed to the sheet my dietitian gave me, and it's made a huge difference. I feel better as I am getting my nutrients in, particularly protein.
2/27 - NW - Today was my last day at pulmonary rehabilitation, and I improved by 20% in just six weeks (12 sessions). It was a good workout, lasted about an hour, and I plan on taking advantage of my insurance program to get a membership at the Y. The weather has turned for the worse; so, no more walking outside for awhile. We are getting ice tonight. I did walk outside doing an episode of Zombies, Run!
2/28 - 310.0 - Bit flux up, not sure why, but, eh, not worried about it either; I mean I'm still down 7 pounds in seven days. I plan on doing two episodes of Zombies, Run! today. I'm curious how we come out of being surrounded by 500 zombies being controlled by a madman. I'm not going outside, I can see the ice on the trees which mean slick sidewalks. I have to go out tomorrow as I have an appointment and need to get money orders for rent and cable/Internet. Nutrition is doing good.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22: 244.4 - I went shopping and bought some things I shouldn't. 😒
02/23: 245.8 - went out to see a comedian. Lots of baked goods consumed.
02/24: 248 - weight is back almost where it was when I started. I need to get it together. Note to self: stay out of the bakery aisle at the store. I will eat it ALL.
02/25: 247.8 - Met my dad to go walking. It was a shock to see how much he struggled. He's a closet smoker since heart surgery 15 years ago and we had to stop and rest about every quarter mile. It was a glaring reminder of how important it is to take care of your body. On a positive note, I logged over 13,000 steps for the day.
02/26: 246.6 - uneventful day. Cleaned and worked on my classes. I realize that not logging my food is having an impact on my weight loss so I need to get back on track.
02/27: 247.4 - Logged all my food today. 🏅Got together with a friend to hangout.
02/28: 245.8 - tracking my food seems to have made a positive impact on the scale. Will keep doing it. One day at a time!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 138.2 lb. Nothing lost nothing gained. I'm happy 😊
02/23 137.6 lb. I am loving this new life I'm building. I have been so sore since starting to incorporate jogging but I still keep my body moving. Yesterday I did the 5K in 43 minutes and although that is pretty slow for 3.1 miles (I did a lot of walking), I can only go up from here! My friend and I are going to sign up for a timed 5K in a couple months and I'm also thinking of doing Bay to Breakers! 🌉 We'll see!
02/24 136.6 lbs. Yesterday was kind of crazy, I was out of the house all day and I knew I had dinner plans with my family so I decided to save up most of my calories for that. But what I ended up doing was compensating with lots of cafinated drinks and I didn't drink much water. At the end of the day I think I didn't eat enough and the caffiene's diuretic effects have led me to lose a lot of water weight. So I'll probably be back up tomorrow once I replenish my fluids.
02/25 137.2 lbs. Now this is a much more realistic number to reflect my diet and exercise over the weekend. 👍
02/26 135.4 lbs. Feeling terrible. I got poison oak from my hike last week and I'm sick with a cold. I haven't been eating enough or drinking enough. Been going to sleep early because the benedryl makes me so sleepy and the itching is unbearable without it. I'm not pleased with this loss because I know I'm not taking care of myself. I am going to buy some homemade chicken noodle soup today from the Nugget. I hope that helps.
02/27 136.4 lbs. I finished my 30 days of yoga journey and that has me feeling proud. I did much better with food yesterday. I ate Cuties throughout the day to get extra vitamin C. And I made sure to drink 64 oz of water. But I'm still struggling because with being sick and itchy and it being rainy and windy I'm not doing any other physical activity besides the yoga. Today is my day off so I'm gonna go get a manicure and some fresh juice at Jamba. I don't know what else to do with myself today besides that, and it has me feeling low.
02/28 139.2 lbs. I just started my TOM late yesterday. Haven't been moving around much but also haven't been over eating either so I hope this is just water weight. This is my first time getting Aunt Flo during a challenge so I'm not used to seeing how it changes things but I am trying to be optimistic

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 180.4 Um. What? I’m totally baffled. Yesterday my weight went from 177 to 179 which I figured has got to be water weight. It’s higher today. I was within calories and had lots of water and thankfully had a much better night of sleep. Aggravating.
02/23 179.8 We went out to dinner last night to celebrate my hubby getting a new job. Was only slightly over calories, but weight is down a smidge so I’ll take it! I’m still trying to figure out my calories so I can consistently lose. So far this month, I’ve managed to maintain. I know I can get this figured out, and you guys are so supportive, thank you!
02/24 178 Coming back down. I was within calories and macros and I got my minimum 10,000 steps yesterday. 🙂
02/25 178.8 I felt like yesterday was a pretty good day. I was within calories, I got in 30 active minutes and 10,000 steps. Sodium was a bit high though. We did church, then had a relaxing day at home after.
02/26 I78.6 I’m just keeping up with what I’ve been doing! Within calories, no exrcise though. I’ve been pre logging my meals and I feel like it helps keep me on track.
02/27 178.2

02/28 177.8 Woo hoo! It's been a struggle to figure out what my calories need to be, but hopefully the trend continues down!

I've been adding less salt to my food and finding new ways of cooking things to make them a little healthier and enjoyable. Today (and the next few days) are going to be tons of stress and work. My goal will be to not turn to fast food just because I'm stressed or tired.

02/22 …..188.8 ….. Bad start after pool hall & potluck. Yesterdays stats: 2032 Calories In / 2419 Calories Out. Net Carbs 156. 11,586 Total Steps & 4.9 Miles. IF 16:8. I slept 4 hours & 38 minutes. I walked 34 minutes outdoors & danced 22 minutes. Sample song “ Here comes my girl” by Tom Petty. That one put me in a great mood because of the nice vibe. Good luck on this round everyone!

02/23 …..189.0 ….. Here goes my embarrassing stats: 2653 Calories In / 2248 Calories out. 198 Net Carbs (the little Debbies are so much worse than the Oreos!). 10,183 Total Steps & 4.32 Miles. No IF yesterday. I slept 4 hours & 12 minutes & suffered severe Restless Leg Syndrome all night from the sugar. I very briskly walked for 17 minutes but did not dance yesterday.
02/24 ….. 189.0 ….. I am trusting the process here. Good day yesterday. 1111 Calories in / 2369 Calories Out. 14 Net Carbs. 13,161 Total Steps & 5.57 Total Miles. IF 17:7. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I charged my fitbit overnight, but got over 5 hours of sleep. I danced for 41 minutes, Sample Song “The Wanderer” by Dion. Tons of work today. I will get my steps in no problem. Have a great day everyone!
02/25 …..188.6 ….. Slowly melting pound. But every little bit counts, right? Yesterdays stats: 1350 Calories In / 2455 Calories Out. 23 Net which was mostly veggies in my Curry bowl & 1 c. of Fairlife 2% milk. 14,200 Total Steps & 6.04 Miles. IF 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 13 min which was phenomenal! I took a very brisk & fast outdoor 10 minute walk & I danced for 40 minutes. Sample song “ Another one bites the dust” by Queen in honor of their Oscar performance where they sang “We are the Champions.” I enjoyed my evening watching the Academy Awards & especially liked seeing Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper perform “Shallow”. I agree with the critics that it was very “intimate”. But the nature of the movie & how it ended – just to be together again, I get it. Anyway, have a great week everyone.

02/26 ….. 188.0….. A very nice strong day again yesterday but no exercise. I worked late & then in-home movie night with my friend & son. Popcorn & hot cocoa for them. Water with grapefruit essential oil drops for me. It’s coming off very slowly but moving in the right direction. Cancelled travel plans for Thursday due to incoming weather. Yesterdays stats: 1381 Calories In / 2559 Calories Out. Net Carbs 19 including Peanut butter. 10,304 Total Steps & 4.36 Total Miles. If 15:9. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 14 minutes. Woke up feeling refreshed but that may change later. No dancing. I missed the music but enjoyed the movie.
02/27 ….. 187.6….. Another day on plan. 1189 Calories In / 2470 Calories Out. 36 Net Carbs. 13,170 Total Steps & 5.58 Total Miles. IF 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 24 minutes and needed every second of it after very little sleep the night before. I walked 23 minutes at a moderate pace & I danced for 44 minutes. Sample song “Good Old Fashioned Lover boy” by Queen. Thank you to @shunggie for that one. She is right. A perfect dance song & lots of fun. Bad weather today so a long-distance doctor appointment was cancelled. However, tomorrow is an out-of-town to shop for a baby shower on Saturday. Watched a movie with my son. He had a small nachos & some Hershey’s special dark chocolate for a snack. I had Vanilla chai Tea with a hint of Stevia. I was proud of myself today!
02/28 …..188.8 ….. That is what pizza & German Chocolate cake does. I went to a friends & that was the menu. Bloated all night. Feeling bad from the sugar. I have no idea of the exact calories or Net Carbs. My best guess is about 2200 Calories & 200 Net Carbs based on MFP logging which I did my best to figure out. Calories Out 2363. 9,241 Steps & 3.91 Miles. IF 14:10 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours and 41 minutes but feels like none. Very tired today & taking a road trip out of town unexpected so this is going to be a yucky slow moving day. Probably restaurants involved. No chance at redemption for several days. Only one day at home left this round. This will not end well I’m sure. Not even much opportunity to get any exercise in. Ugg. No dancing yesterday since I was away from home. Feeling a little depressed right now. It takes so little to derail days & days of hard work. I know we’ve all been there but it really stinks. I hope you all will have a good day.
03/01 ….. ….. Travel no weigh.
03/02 ….. …..
03/03 ….. ….. Baby Shower with food festivities. Uggg. Tomorrows start weight will not likely be pretty as Donna is her own worst enemy!

Round 67 EW 149.0 (-0.9)
Round 68 EW 146.7 (-2.3)

2/22 145.7 last round was tough for me, even though the ending numbers are fine. I struggled through a small bounce and a few days of no scale movement. And spent a lot of time trying to keep myself on track with my eating choices, which haven't always been great. I was tempted to forget logging. The visuals of the long term weight loss trends that people post in the forums with all their peaks and valleys on the way to goal weight really help keep me going. Yesterday was a great day. I earned my promotion to blue belt in jiu-jitsu! The scale showed me a new number today. All good things!
2/23 146.1
2/24 145.6
2/25 145.1
2/26 143.9 A small woosh. Not sure form where and I'm sure it will bounce up a bit tomorrow. No matter. I worked out this morning and took a long shower. Feeling pretty good today. Jiu-jitsu this evening, and I need to figure out dinner.
2/27 143.5 No bounce! I had two hard workouts yesterday and my chest muscles are screaming.
2/28 142.7 having a good run this week. Trying to temper my excitement in the same way I try to temper the disappointment when the scale goes up or doesn't move. Like, when I look at my graph, you can see the peaks and valleys and I'd like to know what the next peak will be and how much lower it is compared to the last one, if that makes sense. This week the weight is coming off a little too fast and not entirely sure why. I'm gonna chalk it up to hormones. 🤷‍♂️ Things that are going well: I've been working out really hard. My steps are up. I haven't been hungry this week. And my body fat percentage has been slowly but steadily dicreasing. Challenge for the road ahead is that I'm getting close to my happy weight were I am perfectly fine with how I look and feel, even if it could be better. Around here I tend to loosen up. Start drinking more and indulging more and working out less. Maintain is my long term goal and the one I've not approached with any effort in the past. Sorry for the ramble this morning and thank you to anyone who decided to read.

02/26 179 Felt like cr@p, ate like cr@p. Ate like cr@p, felt like cr@p. Did not log after noon, but definitely way over on carbs and cals. I am taking today off work - hopefully some extra rest will help me get back on track. Really need to learn my lesson - comfort carbs backfire in so many ways.
02/27 178.6 back from the brink!
