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.

11/9 123.0 Community Continental (Carby) Breakfast Bingo this morning. Oops! I forgot to come back to finish reading and to post! I didn’t eat the carbs!
11/10 121.5
11/11 122.0 Yesterday was a dinner party at some friends’. I didn’t have control of the menu but I made my meal as un-carby as I could except a small piece of Italian bread (meh) and the crust I couldn’t separate from my (shredded) chicken. I skipped the cake except for a taste.
Happy Veteran’s Day to former and current military! Thank you for your service! DH and 2 veteran friends are going to free buffet for lunch at one of the casinos.

11/13 122.0 Yesterday was a good gym day, I think. OMAD @ Golden Corral and a movie with DH
11/14 123.0 Not surprised as DH and I shared a caramel pecan roll at a new bakery. If anyone in California knows of a place in Ferndale called Humboldt Sweets, they are now on Henderson, NV! Definitely not good for my WOE! My mouth loved it, my belly did not.7 -

Day/Weight/Comment
11/08 …..186.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/09 …..186.8 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1625 Calories In / 2666 Calories Out. 35 Net Carbs of mainly Spaghetti Squash. 18,221 Total Steps & 7.71 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 25 minutes. Something is going on with my sleep. I am sleeping more hours & even having some fleeting dreams again after decades of none to recall. I hope this is a good thing and not indicative of my recent health issues. Yesterday I walked at the school (no mall in my area) for 4.21 miles which took about 99 minutes and burned 551 extra calories. I also took a small cold walk around my property for 13 minutes burning an additional 66 calories. Total extra calorie burn 617.
11/10 …..186.6 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1150 Calories In / 2873 Calories Out. 28 Net Carbs. 18,138 Total Steps & 7.68 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 44 minutes. (Another great night). I walked for 95 minutes at 3.0 mph to burn 511. I rigorously cleaned tourist cabins for 54 minutes to burn 265 calories. I did low-impact aerobics for 20 minutes to burn 129 calories. Total extra calorie burn 905. Sunday (today) will also be challenging as the school is closed to walkers. Getting creative again…..
11/11 …..185.8 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1208 Calories In / 3039 Calories Out. 36 Net Carbs. 18,477 Total Steps & 7.82 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 27 minutes. I walked for 17 minutes at 4.0 mph burning 113 cals, I walked for 39 minutes at 3.0 burning 222 cals, I did misc cardio exercises for 31 minutes burning 133 cals and I did my crazy dancing in my livingroom for 58 minutes burning 467 calories. Sample song “While my guitar gently weeps” by the Beatles.
11/12 …..188.6 ….. Now….just to await the result of the CT scans. Yesterday I wore my fitbit on my shoelace most of the day due to pushing carts while shopping for hours after the scans. Took advantage of being in a larger town with real stores. The steps are usually accurate but the calorie burn is not because its not monitoring the heart rate which is part of the formula (I mean, did I really burn over 4,200 calories while walking a lot less steps than my usual day???). Here is what I do know. Over 2000 calories In/ ??? Calories Out. Over 200 Carbs including Pizza. 15,093 Total Steps & 6.39 Total Miles. 9/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 19 minutes. Yesterday was a combination of emotional eating and splurging. Today is redemption day. I will be walking at the school and eating a combined low cal/low carb diet. Tightening the belt. No regrets. No guilt.
11/13 …..188.6 ….. News on my CT scans is basically no definitive news yet. Unfortunately, the CT scan showed the area is worrisome. The Universities Plan: Hand over to special pulmonary radiology specialist to see if a biopsy is recommended. Pet scans can also be used, but at this point, they think it is not enough due to my cancer history and the fact that it could be metastasized breast cancer. So no answers yet. They said it would be a few more days. They did say, at this point, they want all tests/biopsies done right at the University Hospital, not at affiliated places along the way. 4 hours each way & into full blown winter here. I am still hoping for good news in the weeks to come.
On the diet front, more emotional eating very late last night. Thankfully I did well all day, otherwise so no gain on the scale. I hope it doesn’t show up later. I also had severe carb cravings which always follow a carb heavy travel day. I failed that test last night. Yesterday’s stats: 2171 Calories In / 3032 Calories Out. 164 Total Carbs. 21,453 Total Steps & 9.08 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 2 minutes and woke up tired. Yesterday I walked at 3.5 mph for 102 minutes school-hall walking and burned an additional 657 Calories over normal activity. My great stats & burn kept my scale at bay (so far!) I’ve got to stop pushing the limits and get my head back in the game. Thanks to everyone for the continued prayers & hugs.
11/14 …..188.8 ….. There it is on the scale. I knew it would show up from the 12th. I meant to drink more water yesterday but workload got in the way. Opening season for deer opens tomorrow morning so I have had people arriving, coming & going all week. The good news is, lots of calorie burn. The bad news is, lots of hunger and continued emotional eating. I have been doing lots of extra small activities to increase steps & calorie burn while continuing with my daily walk. Yesterday’s stats: 1730 Calories In/3226 Calories Out. 85 Net Carbs. 26,157 Total Steps & 11.07 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 40 minutes and woke up extremely tired. Early guests arriving so no chance for more sleep. I school-hall walked for 122 minutes burning an additional 676 calories over normal activity. All other burn was small spurts of hard working prepping the cabins with extra blankets/pillows and coffee etc. I’ve got to get more diligent with my calorie & carb intake. The LNS, healthy as they may be, still add up. Thanks to everyone for the hugs, kind words and well-wishes yesterday. I plucked them all off the pages and held them close to my heart.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/09-- 207.0 I went to the gym yesterday and it was great, I'm working with my coach to do 10 regular pushups and I'm almost there. Then I went out and had a great dinner at Panera Bread with my hubby. Plan today is to go out and do another day of c25k and then take dog out for a long trail walk.
11/10--207.4 I had a great run yesterday, but the rain kept me from taking the dog on a long walk. Going to see strength coach today and then take dog out on that long trail walk. Dinner out tonight, so I will probably be up tomorrow.
11/11--208.1 I had a great dinner last night, but even better was that after dinner both my husband and I decided that we didn't need any dessert. I went out this morning and finished w4d3 of c25k, and then I went to a spa day that my husband had purchased for me.
11/12--207.2 Going out to an event for lunch where I get to have unlimited soups for a donation. The soups are made by the top chefs in the city, and all money from the lunch goes to charity. So, I expect to be up tomorrow. Today is rest day for me.
11/13--206.3 I made a mistake and the soup event wasn't yesterday, but is instead today, so no bump up today. However, I expect the bump today. Strength coach tonight.
11/14--206.3 Soup event was great yesterday. Instead of having full bowls of all the soups I wanted to try, I instead only asked for 1/2 of a serving. I went to my strength coach yesterday and it hit me that after 9 months of training, I am at the point where I don't think to myself how I don't want to work out with my coach, but now it's just a regular part of my weekly schedule. It's something that I just have to do, it's no longer a choice. The plan is to go out and do another session of c25k, but after my workout yesterday my legs are sore, so who knows.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/09 131.3, off to gym for 60 minutes today, volunteering for a couple of hours, going to a college football game watch, and making a new recipe with tofu (never made tofu before) for dinner so pretty busy Saturday for me.
11/10 131.3
11/11 131.2, lazy weekend but back at the gym today and still have tofu from Saturday. I made a pie yesterday as a trial before thanksgiving and it turned out well.
11/12 131.1, no gym today but ate leftovers of tofu stir fry for lunch and dinner
11/13 Trying a new Mac and cheese recipe with kale and leeks tonight for dinner and will go to the gym for 70 minutes for the elliptical. I need to get back to doing barre and hope to start that this weekend. It’s easy when you go regularly but you regress pretty quickly so I’m a bit intimidated. My birthday is next week so want to end this birth year on a high note.
11/14 131.0, leftover Mac and cheese and trivia night tonight. Been catching up on past seasons of British Bake Show at the gym so it’s a good way for me to do 60 minutes on the machine.

MFP start weight October 28.18 - 191

11/09 -161.1 Big gain to start this round. My knees went out 10 days ago, so no ice skating right now, my back went out on Thursday, so no cardio or exercise of any kind and the scale is showing it. Normally I burn 500+calories per day through exercise. I can't/won't drop my calories to 700 to make up for it. Maybe my body will adjust.
11/10 - 161.1 Sunday. Held steady. I was able to do a small bit of gentle walking yesterday. I normally skate up to 2 hours on Sundays, lamenting that I can't do it today.
11/11 - 160.3 - Hmm. Maybe my body still thinks that I burned 1,000+calories skating yesterday. I did some pilates for knees, and other youtube exercises for knees and back. An hour of that burns hardly any calories. I will be doing the same type of thing today.
11/12 - 160.2 - Pleased to not be gaining any more weight with my inability to do any cardio because of my back and knees. Did more exercises for knee pain (1 hour total), but am not getting any full-body circulation or fat blasting.
11/13 - 159.2 - Had to do more than 2 hours of walking for work yesterday, the first calorie burn that I have had in awhile since hurting my knees and then back. Back is mostly better, knees are a work in progress.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/09 - 170.4
I’m in a “stashing stuff away” frenzy today — painters coming Monday to do the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Two to three days of chaos, but YAY! I have hated the colors in this house since before we bought it, and have been chiseling away at them since late summer. I love color (I’m a watercolorist and my garden and “real” house are full of bright, happy colors). I’ve always known that dull, grayed-out colors depress me, and I recently read an article about several studies that show that working in gray or tan/brown office spaces correlates with depression and — surprise — excess weight, especially in women. Something to think about. Anyway, I’m really excited! I want to have a “happy colors party” when it’s done! Maybe I’ll even be able to stick to my happy foods better. Enjoy your weekend, all.
11/10 - 170.2
Our house is a pre-painting mess, and I’m so excited about the painting finally getting done (we’ve been here 18 months and I’ve longed for brighter colors since day one). DH made a big pot of veggie soup to make some meals easier. I’ll try not to snack! Enjoy your Sunday!
11/11 - 170.4
Painters are here today, and hopefully will finish tomorrow, so we have to eat out while the kitchen’s torn up. I’ll try to behave!
11/12 - 169.6
Snow! We’re in that big band that swept across the country, as I know many of you are, too. It’s gorgeous and bright this morning. Stay warm!
11/13 - 170
Sodium from lunch out yesterday, and (eep!) cashews I ate last night. Painters here again today, but a short day. Almost finished. I'm SO HAPPY about the change from dull, dirty walls to bright, clean, light, color!

11/11 - 206.2 Man this weekend kicked my *kitten*. I was doing so good and then within a couple days whoop! I was celebrating my birthday early with my friends on Saturday. We went to Glen Ivy and had some drinks and a nice dinner then a little cake. I also ended up having in and out yesterday
I didn't want to be too restricted and honestly just enjoyed myself. We all had a good talk about making better choices and they urged me to make time for myself and workout more because I've been complaining about stopping. I am bummed about my gain, but also very motivated. Hawaii is in one month and I really want to at least feel better and more energetic when I go.
11/12 - 207.4 This round is starting off horribly for me. I didn't make it in the gym again last night. Got in my gym clothes ready to go, but decided not to last min. My bottom left wisdom tooth decided to join the party. Even though it's impacted it has been pushing my gums and I'm still sore. I know I need to push through it, but it's just so painful. Hoping for a better day tomorrow.
11/13 - 208 This gain just punched me in the gut
I feel so sick and I'm in so much pain. I called my dentist because I'm worried the wisdom tooth is infected so got them to prescribe me antibiotics. I also asked them for a number to a specialist and will be taking the morning off work tomorrow to go for a consultation. I really wanted to put this off, but I just can't take the pain anymore and will have to get them removed ASAP. I'm scared, but also tired from all of this.
11/14 - 207 It's nice to see the scale go back down! Went to my consultation today and looks like I will be getting all 4 Wisdom teeth removed. I'm scheduled for next Friday and am super nervous. I was honestly hoping to get it done sooner, but with work it's tough.

My goals this round is (1) to see at least 4 days under 140 (2) drop my 10 day average another pound and (3) not to have a weight higher than 142.00. I would also like to see 138.xxx on the scale, but with 2 weekends in this round and starting so high from last round we will see what happens.
(started rnd 58 only include last 5 rounds of stats)

Round 94: 142.3 - 143.4 Avg 140.93
11/09 - 140.7 back down today. My husband wants to go and try this new Mexican food place that just opened so I am sure I will be back up. I don't know what is up with him and eating out the last couple of days, but it is his birthday so all I can do is fight through my sodium gains.
11/10 - 144.3 dang this is from a Bloody Mary and my food yesterday. I am pretty sure I was at maintenance calories, but the sodium was through the roof. I am going to try and drink a lot of water today.
11/11 - 143.4 well I am back down to my Fridays weight. I am so glad my husbands bday weekend is over and I can get back to normal. I was under calories yesterday, but didn't get my water in at all. Although I did have to go and get my ring from the jeweler yesterday and was shocked it fit even with my sodium intake. I took in it 2 weeks ago to get it re-sized. I had to have it taken in 2 sizes because I was worried I was going to lose it, since it was so loose. I am now a size 6 on my ring finger, lol!
11/12 - 141.3 And we are going back down after a decent amount of water yesterday. On track for today and dinner should be low calorie tonight. Maybe I will see 139.xx again tomorrow.
11/13 - 139.7 Back down to my lowest number this month. I am hoping by Friday I will see a new low, but not holding my breath. I was under yesterday just by a little, no alcohol, and plenty of water. That's 2 days in a row and on my way to a 3rd. I am going to try and do 5 days straight with all 3 of those things and see what happens.
11/14 - 139.7 Hopefully I don't see an uptick tomorrow from last nights shenanigans. We ended up going to a college basketball game unexpectedly and I had a really big hamburger, and a couple of beers, but I did not eat any fries. I know I was a little over, so I expected it to show today. Sometimes it takes 2 days to show, but maybe I wasn't as bad as I thought. I am trying my best today to be under calories, no alcohol, and drink a ton of water to avoid that uptick. We will see what happens I guess.

Hi. My name is Trina.
I'm till trying to get down to 128, before officially starting to maintain, but mostly want to stay under 130. Also trying to keep stress levels in check and not succumb to comfort snacking. Chemo starts November 20 and it is starting to wig me out (pun intended...sort of!).

Day/Weight/Comment
11/09 130.5 I did a ton of exercise yesterday, thinking weight is partially DOMS. However, doing a lot of comfort snacking today...so tomorrow that will be to blame for the still high number!
11/10 131.5 Snacking yesterday. I was stressed, hungry, cranky. Also went out for a burger/fries and a beer last night. I got carded and refused a beer (apparently that is the law here, although my husband and I and my friends of 50+ years have never had this problem before!) Just drank half of both of HIS beers. (Which means all the calories were his, right?)
11/11 131.5 Bummer. Time to get this lower again!
11/12 132.5 Sigh. Too much snacking yesterday.
11/13 132 Working on a better day. Took two walks....

I have visitors for the first 3 days of this round and we'll be going out to eat and drinking a lot of wine. My plan is to eat around maintenance during this time and get back on track on day 4. I will not weight till day 5 of this round.
My goal is to get back down to the 60s by the end of the round.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

@tinabambina29, don't be scared it will be okay and you'll feel so much better afterwards that you got it done. Look at it as an opportunity to lose a few lbs, not that it's the recommended way!
Seriously though, try not to worry, you'll get through it and it will just be a small blip on the screen of your life!
@kmfeig87, I'm sorry you have to go through chemo but stay positive and hopefully it won't be too bad. I know everyone's experience is different and I'm pulling for yours to be an easier one. Wishing you the best of luck and sending lots of healing vibes and positive thoughts!6
