Last full round before I head off holiday on 2nd August so plenty of reason to stay focused! No major social events or staying away this round to contend with either. Aiming to finish 133 something which was my hoiday target some months back so really pleased I'm pretty much there. So aiming to lose at least 1lb which is very do-able

Good luck everyone!

Round Start Weight 134.9lb

07/22 - 135.7lb (+0.8lb) OK with this - standard Monday morning increase as had our usual Sunday family roast dinner with dessert (but all within daily calories!) and also a very early weigh in this morning. Had to be up at 430am to get my 16 year old daughters breakfast lunch and dinner sorted and see her off on her work experience at Guys and St Thomas Hospital London. All good though and feeling very motivated, positive and fired up for this round

07/23 - 134.3lb (-1.4lb) so 0.6lb down over the start of the round now my Sunday dinner has worn off All good, heading in the right direction, good food day planned and gym session tonight. And a NSV today - someone at work commented about the weight I had lost - they had noticed by the fact my trousers were so much looser - and on a visit to the ladies I realised I can get my trousers off without undoing them now : 8 days of this round + 1day before I go on holiday to reach my 133 target - its in sight and SSSOOO close ......

07/24 - 134.3lb (0.0lb STS) All good - my usual lose a bit, stabilise then (hopefully) drop a bit more. Plus the gym last night was really hot, so a very sweaty Tabata session and I drank loads of water as a result! All looking good for today food wise - just need to keep drinking as fairly hot here at the minute (mid 30's which is hot by UK standards anyway!)

07/25 - 133.90lb (-0.4lb) WWWOOOOHOOOOO!!!!! Finally hit the 133's (UK Based so this equates to 9.5stone). May have been this weight when I got married 18 years ago but definitely not been back here since then - been close but never here. And made it with still a week to go before my holiday. Intending to stay focused for this last week though as liking how I feel about myself at the moment weight wise and also being in control

07/26 - 134.4lb (+0.5lb) OK scales that is just mean Weird day yesterday as it was ssoo hot and humid here (hit the high 30's) but still went to the gym. Drank loads and loads of water yesterday and ate late because of the heat and its not unusual for me to drop weight then fluctuate a bit up and down. Still happy and focused which is the main thing !


07/27 - 133.0lb (-1.4lb) Water weight and a whoosh to get me exactly to my target!!! Got a lovely screen message on myfitnesspal this morning declaring me at my target - which I had forgotten I'd even set on there

So a lovely start to the weekend and will be happy to sit here till the round end as then off on my holidays. No doubt will end up putting a bit of weight on while away but this is a great place to start my holidays Go me!!!

07/22 208 lbs Spinning Class for 50 min, felt pretty good --- I'm a long way from where I used to be, though
07/23 207.5 lbs Zumba Class for 60 min - felt awesome, if graceless. LOL Did well with my meals. Good day.
07/24 206.9 lbs Nice weather, so an extra long walk with the dogs this morning. Really poor sleep, though.
07/25 209 lbs I've got to pick one scale and a time of day and be consistent... I've weighed on 4 different scales with wildly different results. This is what I got today. Not gonna freak out. Had a GREAT workout - it was my break in with my trainer and I'm excited to work with her.
07/26 205.9 lbs I'm going to use my home scale, since I have access to it most easily. I checked it in 3 different locations (old house, floors not always level - lol) and got this each time. Wonderful walk with dogs this morning. Looking forward to a fun evening - going to see Billy Joel in concert. I'll not go crazy, but I'm also going to enjoy dinner and drinks and have fun.
07/27 205.7 lbs Great time at the show, good dinner without too much craziness. Had a few drinks tho, so I expect those will show up in ny numbers tomorrow. Walked over 12k steps tho... woot!

Goal for this 10 days - learn daily moderation instead of restrict until I get frustrated and start bingeing again! Need to get out of this pattern.

7/22 - 141.3
7/23 - 142.0. TOM due today. I really need it to get here. The bloating and cramps are out of control (sorry to all the men out there for having to read that...)
7/24 - 141.1. Don't know how because I had a binge yesterday. Will probably see that on the scale later this week. TOM appeared at least so maybe some of that bloat is leaving.
7/25 - 140.4

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.

7/22 121.0 Last night Shrimp Scampi with Zoodles for dinner and 1/2c Halo Top mint chip for dessert - it was quite good. I even had a glass of dry white wine! Raining today
7/23 121.5 We were slugs yesterday. Made Keto donuts in the morning and had broccoli sautéed in garlic butter and hot dogs for supper followed by salad.
7/24 121.5 Went to Sam’s Club again yesterday. They had some denim shorts I found acceptable. I’ve been wearing size 6 which is now too big so bought 4 and 6’s since they are a different brand. The 4’s are perfect! I am over the moon!! Never have I bought a size 4 IN MY LIFE! Best NSV ever!

NEVER GIVE UP! You can surprise yourself! I have.
7/25 121.0 Last night for dinner we made Beef and Broccoli from Wholesome Yum. Very good!!
7/26 120.5 DGD#2 is coming to Tulsa to help her other grandmother pack this weekend. @Mbabydoll and I are meeting her at the movies to see “Yesterday.” Popcorn will be involved!
7/27 120.5 Ate well saving carbs for the anticipated popcorn. Shared a small bag with DD. It was supposed to have “extra butter” but barely had a splotch on the top. I was 1 carb over my total macro. There may be some delayed reaction to this plus we are meeting DGD for lunch today.

I have taken a couple of rounds with fb due to my daughter getting married and company visiting. In amongst all of that I started a new job. My weight is way up from where I was, so I’m starting to get serious again.

July 22 - 184.5 - nothing to say about this I was hoping to never see the 180’s again.
July 23 - 183.2 - had a good day yesterday
July 24 - 184.6 - had some carbs yesterday, it sure makes a difference
July 24 - 184.4 - another fair day yesterday. I was within my goals.
July 26 - 184.0 - surprising after the way I ate yesterday.
July 27 - 185.0 - that makes sense. I need to get my diet under control again.

07/22 - 216.8 had a big up on the scale today from yesterday, but probably due to first day of period. Started Keto today because my weight loss has been so slow with regular CICO and my nutritionist said I may have insulin issues due to my PCOS, so giving it a shot. Energy levels high most of the challenges are mental but it's amazing how hard that is to overcome. Worked out with my PT today - super intense, very tired but happy
07/23 - 214.4 omg! Biggest loss I've ever had overnight. Thanks, Keto! I know it's just water weight and it really only put me .6 below my start weight for this after yesterday's high, but it gave me the morale I needed to keep going. Had a DXA bodyscan today - 46.5% body fat. What an eye opener... I had no idea it was that much. Used these two things to motivate me to stick to keto today. Crazy busy today so didnt exercise, but got lots of walking and stretching in today and will definitely go to the gym tomorrow.
07/24 - 214.2! That seems like a much more reasonable overnight change, so I'm happy. Hopefully some of this is fat and not all water. Thinking about all the visceral fat in my body scan has motivated me well to stick to my diet all day. Got an intense workout in on the elliptical and I'm feeling pretty good on Day 3 of keto!
07/25 - 212.6! Another big loss overnight! It feels like a miracle! Very happy on Day 4 of Keto but did buy an electrolyte today to help w a 2-day headache. Had a very stressful and agitating day but stuck to my calorie goals. Did not exercise... Spent the entire day waiting for a Frontier technician that never showed up and by the time the service window cloaed at 6pm, had to scramble to get chores done. Will get more exercise tomorrow and hope for a continued weight loss tonight despite no exercise
07/26 - 211! Omg, so happy! I ended up working out last night after posting that I felt bad not exercising. Then today, I definitely didn't eat enough during the day but then my partner came back from a long work trip and we did a celebratory meal and... I definitely ate a lot! It was my first time struggling to stick to keto because everything at the steakhouse was glazed but I got them to make me a special unglazed meal. Felt crazy full though so worried I overate. Got a tough workout in during the morning so hopefully that plus eating light during the day didnt reverse my losses

July 22 - First day doing 1200 calories. Didn't do to bad. A little hungry throughout the day but filled up on water. Went over my goal by 6.

July 23 - Second day at 1200 calories. Way more hungry today. Went over my goal by 640! Weighed in this morning. Disappointed with the number.

July 24 - Day 3 at 1200cal. Did better today. Still not on goal but healthy choices today and only over by a little bit. Scale was down a little this morning. It's a Step in right direction

July 25 - Day 4. Still didn't make 1200, but still only over by a little. I think I need to find a way to eat more filling foods. I don't like protein (only eat chicken) or yogurt and things like that so it's hard to get foods that keep me full longer. But the scale is going down so I'll keep pressing on

July 26 - Day 5. Well last night I ate 700 calories over in Fritos and half a Costco chocolate chip cookie 😭😭 then I felt bad so I went for an hour's walk. Enjoyed the walk though. I know my gain this morning is probably salt from those Fritos so I am trying not to focus on it too much. Here's to another day 🥂

July 27 - Day 6. Yesterday I felt in control. I chose healthy options. I drank seven 24oz bottles of water. I took my kids to the park. I stayed within my points range. It was a great day. And it is working. The scale is moving. Now to keep it going in the downward position for the weekend ❣️

This thread is so great for helping me evaluate where I’m at and keeping focused. All my ups and downs are right there. I want to be down further but obviously have to work harder at it as I haven’t lost a whole lot in the last year. On the other hand, I haven’t gained, which I had been doing before I started. Working to be down a lb. this round and add in ab exercises & a little walking. Grandson (17) will be visiting for 5 days so will be extra busy. Day/Weight/Comment
07/22 – 162.8 – Up a bit as meals were rather random yesterday. Always feel then like I haven’t eaten much when actually I’ve eaten a lot more cals. and fat/salt. Off to the dentist today for minor work. Have been whacking away at weeds that snuck up on me during my trips and almost ready to tackle some bigger projects. Grandson coming Thurs. so need to do some food prep.
07/23 – 162.2 – Spent last evening organizing embroidery floss till way too late but no LNS!
07/24 – 163 – Appt. and shopping in the city, so a little too much random snacking, esp. salted nuts. Today is stay at home and tidy up so being mindful.
07/25 – 161.8 – I don’t know if I deserve this but I will take it. LNS last night but on Raincoast Crisps which are not low calorie (because of the nuts and dried fruit in them) but have lots of fibre. I think the real key for me is – almost no sitting. No biggy exercises, just busy all day tidying, picking raspberries, etc. Just what all my days were like when I was younger and had little kids.
07/26 – 161.4
07/27 – 162.4 – Ah, salted nuts last night … Will try to be extra good today to compensate.

22: 239 Feedback: Hydration affects weight. I totally didn't drink enough water yesterday! Not sure what was up. I'm usually really good about having enough, but I only drank about half of my usual intake.
23: 239.2 I'm completely at peace with this. We took my younger daughter and her best friend to Sea Life and the Minnesota Zoo yesterday. That meant mall food plus 7 hours of driving. I enjoyed Auntie Anne's pretzels for lunch(way more carbs than I'd usually eat in one sitting), and had a Caesar salad with shrimp for dinner. I even managed to stay pretty close to my IF schedule. I finished eating about an hour later than usual. I feel like I did a pretty good job enjoying the day-trip without going completely overboard.
24: 238.3 😁
25: 237.2 !!?!!? I'm shocked by this. I stayed within my calories and IF schedule, but I ate more movie theatre popcorn than I usually would and had a fast food burrito for dinner. I did skip the seasoned potatoes that I love (because they're deep fried and more carbs), but my carbs were still really high (about 50% higher than my goal). My kids left for 2 weeks with their dad today, so yesterday afternoon/evening we had a special family outing. I'm glad the scale doesn't reflect what I was sure would be a gain.
26: 235.9 OMG!!! I'm so effing excited about this! I know that the 1 and 2 pound daily losses won't last forever, so I'm just gonna bask in this for as long as I can. WHEEEEEE! 🤸💃🤸💃
27: 234.7 TOM is due tomorrow. I only had a 30 calorie deficit yesterday. Last night, I had to take extra precautions to avoid snacking during my fasting time. I managed, but it definitely took some will power! I guess it paid off! 🤸💃🤸💃

Round 84 (1st Round) Target: Fasting Blood Sugar under 100mg/dL

Hi.
I was pre-diabetic a few years ago, and got it under control. Ahead of my annual physical on Aug 2, I took my morning blood sugar for the first time in months and it was 140! I'm freaking out! So the goal is to get my fasting blood sugar (FBS) down to below 100. And take about 40 lbs off over the course of the next year. Each day I'll post my weight and my morning blood sugar.
