I’ve removed my goals for this round. I don’t want to call it a goal (at least for now) because that seems too focused on an end point. I’m reframing this journey as an ongoing, lifelong pilgrimage to healthy living with reaching and maintaining a healthier weight as one

Still painting! I just finished my office/studio/woman cave in a gorgeous light/medium lilac. It was paper bag tan before. I am not a dark tan person unless it’s from being outside. Omg, what a difference! Now to reassemble the room. I also painted the door from the kitchen to the laundry room an interesting bright pink and wowser! Nice happy pop of color. The laundry is newly yellow, and the door from there to the garage is bright turquoise. I think my years on the NC coast are showing.
All of which is to say that a happy-colored environment makes me happier and less likely to comfort eat. Let the painting continue! Do others of you find that colors in your environment affect your mood and behavior? Oh, and I’m having a group of friends (women) over for a potluck tomorrow to celebrate my new-this-summer garden. Other than the pie I’ve heard is coming, this group leans toward healthy foods. All good! Have a lovely weekend, all!
09/21 - 164
Still haven’t conquered the evening snack monster but I did resist the mid-afternoon urge yesterday. I pulled weeds instead. I went 3 years not sabotaging myself so I don’t understand why I’m finding this so hard now. I can’t believe I’ve gained 30 pounds since last fall. Sigh. But this round I’m not worryingly no as much about weight as about recovering my long-time healthful behaviors. You all help a lot with your inspiring posts. Thank you.

Lots of food and sodium over the weekend. Sigh. But happy equinox, all!
09/24 - 164 (correcting from earlier goof)
Yesterday was a good day. This evening I’m going to a monthly potluck with a women’s group I belong to, so I’ll have to be on my guard. People do bring lots of healthy offerings, but there are also always lots of sweets. My strategy is to pick one and have one bite. I’m taking a salad of baby kale with quinoa, chickpeas, tomatoes, peppers, and a whisper of lemon vinaigrette, so I can always take a decent serving of that! I hope you’re all enjoying the kind of gorgeous early fall weather we’re havin* here!

My bathroom is torn up as I paint it. No idea where I put the scale. Subconscious hiding?

Day/Weight/Comment
09/20: 307.1 lbs (+4.0) … ugh. I’m used to the idea that fluctuations are normal and to be expected, but it’s still a kick to the gut each time it happens. Especially when it’s a bigger one like this.
09/21: 307.8 lbs (+0.7) … apparently yesterday wasn’t high enough of a water weight gain.
09/22: 304.8 lbs (-3.0) … some uptick recovery, but still up a decent chunk over my start weight for this round. Hopefully I’ll continue seeing a downward trend tomorrow. Completed Couch to 5k Week 6 Day 1 this morning.
09/23: 304.7 lbs (-0.1) … at least it wasn’t an increase!
09/24: 303.0 lbs (-1.7) … whew, what a relief. A new low, if only by .1 lb, is very welcome after a ~5 lb uptick in weight! Glad to be on the correct side of zero for this challenge now. Completed Couch to 5k Week 6 Day 2 this morning… the last workout with walking intervals in the program. I was feeling good, so I passed on the walking in the middle and turned it into a 23 minute jog instead.
09/25: 302.5 lbs (-0.5) … another new low! Feeling good.
09/26: 301.4 lbs (-1.1) … another new low! Sub-300 is getting closer. Completed Couch to 5k Week 6 Day 3 this morning. Workout called for a 22 minute jog, but I was able to push it to 32 minutes. Very happy with that, considering the very last workout in the program, in three weeks, aims to have you run 30 minutes. I’ve already met that goal so I can work on pace a bit now.
09/27: 302.1 lbs (+0.7) … a minor uptick, likely due to the fact that I had a heavier (delicious) dinner last night. Still within my budget. Nothing to worry about.

9/21 164.7 woohoo!!!!
9/22 163.6 Not sure what’s up with this but I’m happy! I restarted this journey at 213... I’m down 50 pounds! I carried my 26-pound niece around yesterday until I thought my arms would fall off. (Toddlers have bad days and I spoil her- don’t judge) But I use to carry twice that all the time.
9/23 164.7 I knew yesterday was an anomaly. That's ok, I'll see that weight for real soon enough. I really was bad about exercise last week and over the weekend. I did housework and yard work but no actual gym time or walking. My leg is definitely better but I'm waiting for the two weeks the doc suggested. So I'm off to the gym after work for a little bike ride. IT has reignited my desire to ride a real bike more. If I haven't said it lately I love this challenge! Now it's time to catch up on your journeys.
9/24 165.1 Not sure why I'm up. My sodium and calories were in line yesterday and the day before. Unless there was unexpected sodium in the sandwich I ate out on Sunday. TOM is here (a little early) so maybe it's that. Just an overnight trip to St. Louis this week, I'm coming home tomorrow afternoon. IT's beautiful and I know I said I was going to wait to walk until Friday but instead I'm going today.
9/25 No Scale Still feeling a little puffy so probably not down. I did walk yesterday. Three miles along the river, it was fantastic! I want to walk again today but I think it would be smart to let the leg have a break. I am going to the gym to do weights though. We'll see what the scale says tomorrow. At least the weather is cooperating.
9/26 166.7 Sodium. Why did I have a turkey sandwich for dinner? I was over yesterday on calories by more than 300 calories. No biggie in the big scheme of things. I hope to lose the water weight before the end of the round. Back in the office today and we are ordering lunch out. I looked up the restaurant (Tropical Smoothie Cafe). I was excited because it looked like there would be good options. The calories were workable but then I looked down at sodium (my nemesis) and guess what they're all very high. I hate that. More than one item had over 2000mg. MFP suggests 2300 for the day. ARGH!!!
9/27 165.4 The coaster went up and now it's going down. Oatmeal and fruit for breakfast instead of a breakfast biscuit. It's the little things. I took my dog for a walk in the woods yesterday and it was glorious! My leg is almost normal. I'm going to go every other day for a week or two to ease back into the routine. I can tell you walking two days this week has already improved my mental state. Happy Friday9 -

09/22 - 223.6- I suck at weekends
09/23 - 223.4 - over 3000 mgs of sodium on Friday and Sunday. I did get 2 workouts in but my weekend eating needs to get in check. I've started another challenge and the weigh-ins are on Mondays. Hopefully this will help, although my birthday weekend is coming up.....
09/24 - 221.6 - whew...
09/25 - 221.4 - Hoping to be 220 by the end of these 10 days. I think I'm making my goals too lofty. On the other hand, it's good to dream
09/26 - 219.8 - Not bad! If I can maintain under 220 past this weekend (my b-day weekend) I'll be happy!
My daughter is 5 today and she wants to go to Popeyes lol
09/27 - 223.6 - I totally saw this one coming. Yesterday they threw a little party for me at work (my bday is tomorrow and one of the managers is away today) so there was samosas and cake and then we went to Popeye's for my daughter's bday dinner (I don't say no, I just try to keep my cals close to my macros). It was a high sodium day and I was too full to exercise after. I'm okay with all of it because we had a good time. Planning a quick HIIT workout this eve and a lunch walk to keep myself active.

RSW 293.8
My goal is to end lower than I started, and to be at or under maintenance calories for my oldest son’s birthday. Thankfully it’s the last of the birthdays for the year.
09/20 294.4 Ah the after weight training, high activity, high sodium, high stress bounce. I was on track with my calories despite my husband bringing home dinner, but I weighed out what was within my calorie goals.
09/21 295.0 Two words, Japanese food. So much tasty sodium filled foods. I was under calories, but oh the sodium. I don’t expect to see a drop until Tuesday because today I’m doing maintenance calories today for my son’s birthday.
09/22 296.8 My son had a nice birthday, but I overate. Thankfully I have nothing else until my anniversary next month. I should see most if not all of the weekend gain gone in a few days as most if not all of it is from sodium.
09/23 294.4 Hopefully I’ll be back down to the round start tomorrow. I’m so sore this morning because I bought a kettlebell weight yesterday and did a workout. My husband has agreed that we need to stop eating out on the weekends. It’s something that has been a little bit of an issue since the new job.
09/24 293.4 And back down plus a little bit. I’m still a little sore and stuff but it’s much better today. This weight also puts me a hint lower than my goal weight for a challenge I’m in and I have ten more days left of that challenge so I’m really happy seeing this number today.
09/25 292.6 I’m on track and really happy with how my change in food/calorie plan is working out. Now if I can just stay on track for the weekends again I’ll be doing fantastic.
09/26 292.0 That’s now a total of 90 pounds lost since January first. I don’t think I’ll have trouble hitting my goal for the year.
09/27 293.0 No idea, probably a combination of sodium, low water, late dinner, and hormones because of ovulation.

"Sometimes we make the process more complicated than we need to. We will never make a journey of a thousand miles by fretting about how long it will take or how hard it will be. We make the journey by taking each day step by step and then repeating it again and again until we reach our destination." Joseph B. Wirthlin

09/21 140.2 Hosted a lovely pool party/dinner last evening. Good thing I worked out a little extra, as I enjoyed a huge plate of awesome and healthy food. Baked chicken, roasted beets with herbs from our garden, mashed potatoes, curried vegies, salad, figs from our tree, pico gallo Nica style.

09/21 140.2 Hosted a lovely pool party/dinner last evening. Good thing I worked out a little extra, as I enjoyed a huge plate of awesome and healthy food. Baked chicken, roasted beets with herbs from our garden, mashed potatoes, curried vegies, salad, figs from our tree, pico gallo Nica style.
09/22 141.2 watched some surfing this afternoon, then into town for lobster, red snapper filet, and garlic shrimp, with some salad, and a wee bit of the rice.

9/20: 202.3 I ate late, consumed a lot of sodium and tom. I definitely came in under my calorie goal and took 8000 steps (which is great for me lol) ;D
9/21: 199.5 OMG! OMG! OMG! I was wondering how the eff this happened and it came to me. Yesterday I ate McDonald's for lunch, skipped dinner and had a snack of (lots of) chocolate chips and milk lol. I've been eating high sodium forever and I finally had a low sodium day yesterday so I think I finally ditched the water! PLEASE BE REAL! ;D
9/22: 200 ughhhh! Lol it was too good to be true! Oh well! I killed it at the gym today so it's going away again real soon. Going out for dinner today sooo might go up again tomorrow.
9/23: 199.7 Okaaay I guess it was real after all. YESSS! My workout prevented me from overeating at dinner last night so I'm feeling really good. I actually had an amazing food weekend!
9/24: 198.9 Ow owww! I'm just killin' it this round. I guess this is what happens when I add exercise and stick to my deficit on the weekend as well ;D
9/25: 198.9 I ate pizza for dinner last night and only got like 3000 steps in. I ate at a deficit buuuut there was quite a bit of sodium.
9/26: 198.9 Does anybody else flip the scale off when it doesn't tell you want you want to hear?!
Went to the gym yesterday and had another good food day yeayaa!
9/27: 198.7 GOOD! I was getting so sick of 198.9 for the past 3 days lol! I'd reaally like to lose that 0.7lb by the end of the round. I'm gonna try for low sodium today.

I'm a bit concerned - are you taking in enough calories for the amount you are outputting? Is that why you keep having sugar drops? I really think you are not eating enough my friend? Do you think you should consult your medical expert? xx
@musicsax Thanks for your concern. I understand this can be a bit confusing. I actually saw my Dr. this week who is not just encouraging, but pushing for the low carb diet I am following. On this diet it is not actually the calories that I count, but CICO does matter & make a difference so I am glad that mfp shows all my numbers to me when I log, not just my carbs.
I have asked for 5% carbs, 25% protein & 70% fat on my logging stats & mfp has me at 1277 calories & 20-25 g of carbs daily. I have been eating over carbs & over cals too much lately. The drop in my sugar is a good thing as my morning fast numbers are still too high (but not real bad like they used to be before my weight loss!) It is always late at night, long after my last meal that my sugar drops. My doctor has me writing all the blood checks down because if the sugar drops are too consistent, more of my medication will be reduced or taken away. They have already removed 4 pills from my schedule and that is a huge plus. These drops may mean another reduction and that would be phenomenal. Of course, I have to try to monitor this closely and make sure that the carbs I am eating are spread out more evenly between my meals (not all in one meal). If I'm doing it all well and it continues to drop that is when my dr. will make the move to adjust my meds (for the better). I agree that its a scary process but the only way to know its too much meds for me at this time is to see it dropping too much or too often. I am being very careful. I mention this process in my posts because I am sharing that the ravenous hunger that strikes very suddenly with the shakes & weakness are signs that its dropping too low & I should take my glucose test. The hunger is (quickly) so profuse I can completely blow my diet in just 5 minutes of panic eating. This is a disadvantage for me and one that I'm working on by spreading out my carbs. I am also working hard to handle it better when it happens (no uncontrollable stuffing my face with food allowed!) Sometimes that pesky little scale goes up and I want everyone to know that its not always that I couldn't resist a temptation or that I overate that day. When it is overeating, or temptation, I am always honest about that type of weight gain.
When I started my low carb diet in 2018 my glucose numbers on fasting were running over 500 every day. That was when the dr. approved me for a low carb diet which is perfect for T2D. Just like my weight loss, this also is just another process I am going through. So far, my weight, my T2D and my thyroid have all improved. Again, I thank you for caring. It is scary but I feel confident that I got this. Thanks for following my journey. I truly appreciate all ideas, comments & input.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/19 …..195.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
09/20 …..193.2 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1249 Calories In / 2596 Calories burned. 20 Net Carbs. 14,589 Total Steps & 6.17 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 52 minutes .
09/21 …..193.0 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1439 Calories In / 3056 Calories Out. 37 Net Carbs. 21,403 Total steps & 9.03 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 21 minutes.
09/22 …..193.0 ….. Stats: 1576 Calories In / 2957 Calories Out. 43 Net Carbs. 18,111 Total Steps & 7.66 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours & I slept 4 hours & 8 minutes.
09/23 …..193.0 ….. I had a PCP doctor appointment today. I was hoping for another pound (or more off) but scale stuck on 193 (for now). Yesterday’s stats: 1470 In / 3034 Calories Out. 47 Net Carbs. 19,152 Total Steps & 8.1 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 47 minutes.
09/24 …..192.2 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1334 Calories In / 2737 Calories Out. 21 Net Carbs. 17,397 Total Steps & 7.36 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours (lost an hour at my dr. appt) and I slept 4 hours & 19 minutes.
09/25 …..192.2 ….. Travel Day. 1055 Calories In / 2853 Calories Out. 20 Net Carbs. 20,928 Total Steps & 8.86 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 47 minutes.
09/26 …..196.6 ….. After travel weigh-in. Another travel day today too. Disappointed with scale but I want to PROMISE everyone that I did not eat the 15,000 calories that would be required to make this jump on the scale. The water retention is the most frustrating part after a restaurant meal, but this too shall pass. The second most frustrating part is the lack of consistent movement. This also affects the calorie burn for the day. I worked hard last night at home just to get my 10,000 plus steps in! I am traveling again in just a bit for the day & evening so I will catch up on all the posts tonight.
09/27 …..198.0 ….. After travel weigh-in after two individual days of travel. Chinese for lunch and leftovers for dinner. Carbs & sodium showing up on the scale. Yesterday’s stats: 2510 Calories In / 2530 Calories Out. Approximately 128 Carbs (ugg). 14,352 Total Steps & 6.07 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit step hours which was difficult to get during travel. I slept 6 hours & 54 minutes last night which was unusual for me but badly needed. After returning home late yesterday evening I fit in an 81 minute walk on a new trail with very very rugged terrain. It was stunningly beautiful! Extra calorie burn 410. Back on track today is the plan. However, I’m not sure about exercise plan for the day. Rainy & cold today here in northern Michigan.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/20 135.3 I have an early meeting today to prep for so weighing three hours before I usually do so I think this number is probably higher than usual, which I’m not mad about! Should be a good day.
09/21 135.0, going to a beach yoga class and then just having a day at the house catching up on chores. I will be meal prepping some for next week to get ahead a bit.
09/22 134.8, New low and on the other side of 135. I’m going to the gym for 50 minutes class today and have dinner at a Mexican restaurant so might be up over the next few days but will really focus on water to combat the sodium/sunburn.
09/23 134.6, typical Monday with lunch leftovers from Friday, tennis lesson after work, and shrimp salad for dinner.
09/24 134.6, need to focus more on drinking water throughout the day, instead of overdoing it at night trying to get as close to goal as possible.
09/25 134.3, went out with a friend to celebrate a new job and drank my calories instead of eating. Stayed within calories, but going I am to limit drinking to 2 days for the rest of the week since I just don’t feel good after drinking anymore (tolerance is way down and not worth the headache the next morning).
09/26 134.5, going to a barre class and meals are prepped so hoping to stay in the 134s through the end of the round.
09/27 134.5, sore from barre class so will stick with an elliptical workout today. Heavy emphasis on water today since only drank 3 glasses yesterday.

@Annie_01 wow big milestone in the 100s now! congrats!!
Thank you so much! I have been waiting for this day since I started. I breathed a sigh of relief this morning...did my little "onederland dance" and then set my next goal...out of obesity. I still have 14 pounds to go to reach it. I hope to be there by the end of the year. My weigh-in also marked a 40lb loss exactly.7 -

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.

09/21 121.0 I wonder what has happened to me! I’m still craving SALAD! It seems to be good for me. LOL

09/23 120.5
09/24 121.0 Made the decision yesterday to buy a new car. 2019 CR-V. It feels huge compared to the old one.
09/25 123.0 Today I awoke with a rumbling tummy. Pretty sure my weight is up as a reaction to Asian buffet on Monday. Sadly, it wasn’t very satisfying as we were too late to get my desired veggies tempura.😢😢
**I failed to post here yesterday because I needed to get a couple of things done. I think after the stress of the last week and a half over the car situation my body just gave up. I ate all Keto but was way over on calories and protein and fat macros but 1 under on carbs. Celebrate the small things!
09/26 121.5 Very unsettled gut yesterday. Many trips to TMI, movie in the afternoon, no snacks, 1/2 Greek salad with gyro meat for supper. Gut feels better today.
09/27 122.5 Finished Greek Salad yesterday and ate 1/4 pita. Thinking about doing a fast but doubt the weekend is the best time!5
