Day/Weight/Comment
08/11 - 236.3 - was not as strict as I wanted to be yesterday; I didn’t log so I’m not 100% sure the “damage” but this is all about balance and being consistent when you can’t be perfect.

08/12 - DNW - skipped the scale intentionally this morning, didn’t want to make my Monday even Monday-y-er because of the fluctuations. Today I was spot on with eating though for the first time in a while. Who knew making good choices throughout the day would make it easier to stay under my target calories Lolol!

08/13 - 238.7 - 🙄; still plan on making today a good one.

08/14 - 238.7 - 🤷🏾‍♀️ have a work function tonight (and tomorrow actually). I will enjoy a glass of wine and try to keep the food choices light.

08/15 - DNW - choosing not to weigh for the next several days. Several work functions this week - I tried to make good choices (and made better than I would have otherwise) but not the best in water and wine 😂 I feel the water retention/bloat all the way down to my feet. Gym in the AM. Still checking in even though I am skipping the scale for my own sanity.

08/16 - DNW - water retention feels much less today thank God! Stayed in track today eating wise but did not make it to the gym as planned. Tomorrow!

08/11 130 Only a small bounce up. Considering a few extra carbs yesterday, this isn't surprising. Hopefully todays carbs and slackardly behavior don't do me in for tomorrow.
08/12 130 Had an easy day yesterday. I only got in 7,000 steps. I did take a 30 minute hilly walk and do 10 minutes of hula hooping. Happy that the number didn't go up. It's been a really looonggggg week. A week ago Friday I had a breast biopsy and last Tuesday I got the results that it is invasive lobular carcinoma. So far, I don't have any details other than a diagnosis. I'll meet with the team of doctors this Wednesday and find out prognosis and treatment options. Wednesday seems REALLLLY far away still (although my son starts school Tuesday and that seems really soon!) The good news is that this cancer is really hard to detect and I'm pretty sure that they are thinking it is really small still. Waiting is just so hard! Luckily, too, my good habits have been pretty much sticking with me.

08/13 129 That was a nice thing to see this morning! Yesterday I did a strength class, zumba, and a short walk. Only had one cookie and half a scone along with the healthy stuff.

08/14 130 Meeting with the docs today.

08/15 130 I managed to deal ok with food and stress yesterday. We met with the doc team yesterday(surgeon, medical oncologist, radiology oncologist, 3 residents and a med student and a nurse practitioner all crammed into a regular patient room!) They confirmed that they think the cancer is small and stage 1 with no lymph involvement, but because cancer is present at one biopsy site, and pre-cancer at the other two, the solution is mastectomy (or double mastectomy). I still need to meet with genetics doctors and plastic surgeon(s) (I guess there WAS a limit to how many people fit in the room!) before the surgery is scheduled. I am trying to deal with the inability to plan anything until the dates are set and meanwhile trying to distract myself with long walks and lots of zumba. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!
08/16 130 Interesting. My weight is NEVER this level.

Highest Weight Ever: 183
Current Weight: 179
Goal for this round: to lose 3 lbs.
Ultimate Goal Weight: 140

8/11 – 177.9 Having a family dinner tonight (steak) so the goal is to keep portion sizes small but still enjoy the meal.
I managed to keep my calories within a good range but the meal was much heavier than I would like. Will see tomorrow how it affected my weight.

8/12 – 177.9 Kept calories low today to see if I can get a drop in numbers tomorrow.

8/13 – 176.4 Will be playing tennis today so fingers crossed for another drop tomorrow.
Activity: (Played 1 ½ hours of singles)

8/14 – 175.0 No Exercise today.
8/15 – 175.5 A small gain. Could have been the spaghetti for dinner or the lack of exercise yesterday. Activity: Played 1 ½ hrs of tennis (doubles) today so hoping for better numbers tomorrow.

8/16 – 174.6 Activity: Tennis (doubles) 2 hrs 15 min
8/17 – 175 Drinks with dinner last night. Hoping I can finish out the weekend with a loss but I usually have a harder time making good decisions on the weekends.

Round 85:208.8. -3.2lbs. (waist/navel/hips 34.5/38.25/44.5)

Round 86 goals: fast 3 days. Stick to proper macros on eating days. Close all rings every day

08/11: 209.8. My weight popped up again. What a pain! I will be fasting until Wednesday morning, maybe longer if I feel good. Yesterday I started with a bad stomach ache. I never get stomach aches. Hopefully fasting makes it go away fast because it is very uncomfortable

08/12: 207.8 still continuing the water fast. Yesterday was a wonderfully relaxing day. I did exactly what I wanted. I ate about 200 calories of chicken so not a perfect fasting day. Today will hopefully be better. I am
up bright & early to get in a sunrise walk.

08/13: 206.2. Still continuing the water fast. I did eat food yesterday. Probably 300 calories. I was like a bad kid eating when I was home alone. I would like to not eat for a full 24 hours because at this point I am afraid I am just restricting calories and not getting the benefits of true fasting. I feel good, slept relatively well. I missed my sunrise walk this morning, because I slept in, so I will have to figure out some time to get some exercise today.

08/14: 207. I ended my fast earlier than planned, yesterday at supper. I was very hungry. I am sure next time will be easier. It took a long time to fall asleep & it probably would have been better to break my fast in the morning as I had planned. My next fast will be in 7 days.

08/15: 209.4. I expected a jump up but not quite this much! We had supper at an Italian restaurant with a supplier so wine was flowing & dessert was had. Such is life. I did not eat 7000 calories so it should drop back down in a couple of days.

08/16: 208.4. Slowly coming back down. I did well with eating yesterday. No snacking, just had a pork chop for supper. The fast I did reminded me that I don’t have to eat just because get a hunger pang. It passes & I will survive. Today I will do yoga. I missed my sunrise walk but my dog is stilll waiting so I will take him for a short walk so he can settle.

08/17: 208.2 yesterday was a day full of anxiety for no reason. Weird how that happens some days. It happens to me much less now. I made some not so great choices but kept my calories low by skipping supper.

@kmfeig87 You’re in my prayers. 🙏

Round 86 (my 18th)

OSW 382.0
RSW 301.6

08/11 300.4 So close.

08/12 299.2 Yay!

08/13 299.8 First thank you everyone!! I’m far from the finish line, but it’s so nice to hit this point in my journey. It’s been a long time since I’ve been under 300. My next big goal is 250, that will be my lowest weight in about 20 years.
I’m not surprised by a bounce, I’m just happy that it’s not higher. Yesterday I was hungry and craving high calorie, high sodium foods. I knew that I wasn’t thirsty so I ended up opting for some high sodium soup that I could fit into my calories. I felt a lot better afterwards. My nsv yesterday was listening to what my body needed without going on a binge.

08/14 299.8 I’m okay with maintaining I’m still retaining some water from the high sodium day. I’m also a little stiff and sore this morning from deep cleaning and rearranging my kitchen. Lastly I’m still waiting for tom to show, but I’ve had a few of the signs that it should arrive in a few days. I struggled a lot less yesterday and even turned down ordering dinner in because of a stressful afternoon and instead stayed on plan. I’m really proud of myself for not turning to food and to deal with my stress.

08/15 299.4 Hopefully I’ll keep dropping I’d love some more distance from 300.

08/16 298.6 I was out and about yesterday and will probably be again today or tomorrow. It’s been a long time since I’ve been out and about, I hated being seen and hated how much effort it took just to get to the car. Because of this I planned a HUGE dinner because I hadn’t had much earlier in the day. However as I was measuring it out I stopped at about half my planned portions of everything going I think this is more than enough. In the past I would have easily eaten three times the amount I had planned to serve myself. As a result after dinner I was under 1200 calories for the day, so I treated myself to an ice cream bar that was well within my calories and macros.
All in all it was a very good day. My nsv was walking around Walmart, I hadn’t walked in a store for at least three years.

08/17 298.8 Tom finally arrived this morning, only 10 days late. This means I’ll drop some more soon, get my energy levels back up, and have less overly hungry days, at least until next month. Thank you again everyone for the kind and encouraging words.

8/11 169.1 I didn't post this weekend though I did track. Foodwise I was ok except for Saturday I was over by 300 or so calories. Basically at maintenance. Which is no biggie really other than the fact that I have somehow pulled my hamstring. I can't walk. I haven't walked since Thursday. My leg hurts when I do walk... My mental health state misses walking already. Sharing your house with two people is challenging, more so when one can't go upstairs or drive so they're in the living/kitchen/bathroom 24/7 and the other has mental health challenges. I did spend a lot of time with my great-niece. Please see the pic of miss Sassypants watching Toy Story and at the park with my convalescing friend. We ALL needed out of the house. Too bad it was so miserably hot even at 10:00 a.m.

8/12 168.2 Some of the water gone. The best way to get over this hamstring thing is rest. No walking for at least 2 weeks. I have been doing some research on exercises you can do with the injury. The two that are options for me are the stationary bike and the rowing machine. I've never tried the rowing machine I might give it a whirl over the next couple of weeks. I'm proud of myself that I'm not letting this stop my exercise schedule. Yes, it's going to jack with my schedule and I HATE that (OCD has many forms ) but it's not an excuse to sit on my booty. I won't lie the Saturday late-night muffin MIGHT have been a little self-pity but I woke up with the right mind-set on Sunday.

8/13 168.0 Right direction. No gym last night, I had a hair appointment. The pain in my leg has already lessened. Good on calories though I miss the extra I get with exercise. It's been the hottest days of the year so I couldn't have walked outside anyway. Last night at 9:02 my weather app said feels like 100 degrees Fahrenheit. WOOHOO, I'm ready for the Ber months already.

8/14 169.1 Why up? My only guess is the new exercise is causing me to retain water. I rode the stationary bike last night for just under an hour. I was able to get my heart rate up and actually kind of liked it. Tuesdays are normally weight night so I think I'll stick to that and avoid anything that stresses my legs. It's so easy to get discouraged when you really think - it should be down today and instead it's up. The Water Retention Variable... a daily weigher's arch-nemesis.

8/15 168.3 Back down. I rode the bike instead of weights. I wanted to do an hour since I wimped out the night before. I think I could do an hour Plus. I may try on Saturday when I have more time and people aren't at home waiting for me to cook dinner. I'll do weights tonight. I had my days all mixed up yesterday, I thought it was Tuesday. I'm glad it's Thursday and am ready for Friday. I'm tired. BF is taking his youngest to college this weekend and his oldest will go back next Friday. It will be so weird to have both gone.

8/16 167.4 Down again, I'll take it! I was low on calories yesterday, I wasn't trying just wasn't hungry enough. I wish there were more days like that . I spent my hour at the gym doing weights and avoiding things that would involve my hamstring. It only cut out a couple of machines. I will be back on the bike this weekend. It kind of makes me want to ride a real bike. Maybe when the weather cools off I'll rent a bike. That's something different that I use to love. Happy Friday!!!

8/17 166.4 This is the lowest weight in 16 or 17 years. It’s water weight gone because I ate at maintenance yesterday and didn’t work out. I was expecting no loss or a small gain so I’m thrilled. It’s rainy this morning, I’m going to sort thru clothes that need to go. I know I need to do some fall/winter clothes shopping and I ain’t mad.

08/11
08/12 151.6 spent the weekend at the cabin with company. Meals consisted of cheeseburgers, hot dogs and beer. All the great luxuries of summer. Back home and on track for the rest of the week.
08/13 150.2 not totally trusting my scale these days (Yesterday was higher than I think it should have been) but I’ll take it!

08/14 149.8 logged, stayed under calorie budget, and exercised. Yesterday was a good day.

08/15 150.0 yesterday was busy, active, great day. Workout, Volleyball, then the kids and I took hubby for a round of golf for his birthday. Came home and enjoyed a small piece of birthday cake and a family movie. Logged everything and stayed under budget.

08/16 150.4 weighed a little later than usual today. Had another good day yesterday. Met my goals of logging, staying under calorie budget and working out. Not much more I can do but patiently wait for that drop. My head is in a place where I’m not racing to drop a bunch of weight quickly, so I’m okay with waiting it out. This new mindset has everything to do with this community and reading posts from people who have been committed for multiple rounds. I have read your posts about gains, losses, and plateaus but generally see slow, steady progress which is so inspiring. With time and long term commitment it will happen! But...let’s be honest...a drop sooner than later would be nice. Lol. Thanks for posting everyone!

NEVER GIVE UP! You can surprise yourself! I have.

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.

08/12 120.0 Flying home this afternoon. Looking forward to hugging my DH, scratching my cat, and sleeping in my own bed, as well as seeing other family, friends, and neighbors. I will miss Mbabydoll.
08/13 121.0 Day after travel day. Ate a really not Keto lunch yesterday at Taco Bueno before heading to the airport. Did not have nearly enough water and had one adult beverage on the plane. I was exhausted when I got home. Going to lunch with friends today.
08/14 121.5 Lunch yesterday was not what I was hoping for. Chinese is on place that I know is going to be carby but this was mega carby! Travel+2crappy high carb days+2 days no TMI = this! It’s okay because this will take care of itself.
08/15 122.0 After weighing finally had a trip to the bathroom. More to come, if you get my drift! 😁
08/16 122.5 After I had some “brunch” yesterday I learned that our friends were treating us to dinner. Had I known that was the plan, I would have had only a small snack. I ate a little and ended up with a belly ache all evening. Need more water and more time in the bathroom! Got some groceries so I/we can eat at home.
08/17 121.5 Back to my normal eating. OMAD El Pollo Loco chicken leg and thigh with broccoli x2 and butter. A handful of Mac’s pork Cracklins in the evening and over 5 quarts of water during the day.
