❤️❤️JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 100 ❤️❤️

@tinabambina29

69 years old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion... ...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.

We used to walk 5 miles a day. A pinched nerve and back surgery side-lined me for about a year. Then I had back surgery. Now I'm waiting to get my hip fixed. Hip Doc said surgery in April. Ugh! I can't do any walking or biking...both kill me. I see my personal trainer three times a week. She is taking it very slow and easy with me.

Heaviest: 192.2

UGW: 132.2

@Hilogirl2018 Those daily bounces are the reason I started tracking my average weight each round. Looking back at my spoiler I can see that my average generally went down. This also eliminates the big loss or gain from Day 10 to Day 1 of the next round. I love this group and the tips I have learned along the way.

@quiltingjaine I should start tracking my averages, too! Thanks for the idea.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29 83.4 kg wasn't hungry until evening, turned out as a OMAD kind of day.

12/30 83.1 kg happy that I seem to get back on track - and the cold is slowly going away too.
Started a food journal and also created related trackers in the bullet journal.

12/31 83,7 kg water weight obviously, I was well under my calories the day before. So it's okay with me. And I went to bed very late which was contributing to the gain probably as well.
---update in the night, New Years Eve:
I got invited to a great dinner in a fancy restaurant, so I restrained myself over the day and enjoyed the great meal in the evening even more. According to the stats I am still within the daily calories limit, even including the planned alcoholic beverages that I will drink in exactly 34 minutes:-)
Not too bad for a special day. Only (small) downside is that I am right now not in ketosis anymore most probably. But it will come back quickly. And maybe the carbs from tonight aren't not so bad for my body after all. As long as it is an exception. I even got in a walk of about an hour today, after a long time without exercise because of the cold (I still have). And I think I have found (finally) a solution for my old problem how to incorporate some traditional meals (high carb) into my eating habits without getting triggered anymore. I will test that idea tomorrow with an old favourite traditional food of mine. We'll see how it goes.
Okay, outside some early birds are starting their fireworks already, time to say the good ol' year goodbye. See you on the other side!
Happy New Year everyone!!

01/01 83,4 kg The idea of incorporating some of the unhealthy carby stuff - but in tiniest amounts - into my diet, worked. I took some precautions though so that I would later not give in an potential blood sugar spike and inhale the whole thing anyway.
I first threw away the bigger part of the unhealthy sugery bun, even poured some dish soap on top so that it was safe in the bin... It worked, there was a little spike but it was manageable with a little willpower. I also cooked another favourite meal, also in a ridiculous small portion. And it worked. I am quite happy about the outcome.
That way I can still enjoy food on the occasional holiday but it doesn't send me down the spiral anymore.
Oh, and I got an 1.5 hours walk in. Sun was shining, it was not too cold but crisp air. Nice. Calories intake was okay as well.

01/02 83,2 kg the occasional walk helps with my weight loss - I should remember this;)

01/03 84,1 kg most probably water weight. Yesterday I was over calories and also had more carbs, but nothing too crazy. The body obviously realized that I am not kidding and wanted some calories back...Still I am in a deficit for the last two days.

01/04 83,5 kg back to keto and did OMAD. I educated myself also about intermittent fasting and think for me that will be the way to go, combined with keto. Hopefully it will protect my metabolic rate as much as possible in the long run. Plan for today: go for a walk first thing in the morning (no matter how short and don't mind the weather)

Not sure how this round is going to go, just hoping to stick where I am really. The round finishes when I go back to work and I'm hoping things will be easier by then. In the meantime I'm pleased there's this group because I'm still weighing daily even if I don't have time to post here, and it helps to not go completely off the rails with food.

OSW 172.0 lbs
RSW 154.6 lbs
RGW less than 154.6
EGW 145.0 lbs

Past Rounds:
Goals
1 - Track my calories daily
2 - Run (or gym) 2x week - yoga 1x week
3 - Water 1.5l
4.- Stay on current weight or less

Date – Weight in of the morning– Summary of the previous day:

12/29 154.6 (-0.0) Status quo, happy as I was expecting a gain, I was over on calories yesterday
12/30 153.6 (-1.0) Happy and surprised by this loss, I was within my calories but as I'm still not exercising I thought it'd be a status quo or gain, Today I'm going to try and get my 10.000 steps in by going to the mall checking out the pre-sales lol
12/31 153.6 (-0.0) gym
01/01 DNW
01/02 155.6 (+2.0)
01/03 155.8 (+0.2) Gym

01/04 154.8 (-1.0) Yoga. Happy New Year everyone, a bit late lol So the last few days have been hectic which is why I haven't posted but I still tracked weight (except NY day). I finished my holidays with a lunch and dinner yesterday. I also went sales shopping and was happy with the clothes I bought, although in some shops I'm still an XXL when in others I'm a L, I wish they'd standardize clothes sizes, it'd make buying clothes so much easier My dad is out of hospital, I'm still taking him to follow up appointments but at least he's better. I must say that these Christmas holidays were not holidays and I'm as tired as two weeks ago. Getting back into the normal work routine sounds quite relaxing right now!

12/29—170.8 All holiday sweets are cleared from the house. I think I’ll begin the No Junk Food Challenge today for a week. After all the cookies, cakes, etc available 24/7 over the holidays, not only do I need to do this, but it may help with breaking that sugar addiction which will be difficult again. Hopefully, I’ll be able to stick with it most days at least. One day at a time! I’ve also committed to the 365-mile Challenge (not counting step miles) and recruited two long-time friends to share a spreadsheet to track our progress, so this should be fun, too. I did it two years ago (finished by June) and it was not only fun, but really helped keep me motivated to get outside every day weather allowed and get in a walk, bike ride, or hike.
12/30—170.2–Got in a 20 minute/5 mile exercise bike program; walked the neighborhood; was successful in the No Junk Food Challenge. I will track all my food today!
12/31—169.8—Goodbye 170s! Not going back. Hurt my back yesterday putting together a piece of furniture, but still hobbled around the neighborhood for a walk—not as long as it would have been, but at least I got our there. With all sweets out of the house, I already feel better! Goals for today: fast 16/8 or better, log all food and stay within calories, and get in a walk AND a bike session. Oh, and HIDE THE PEANUT BUTTER!
01/01–167.2—Love this!!! But I did work for it! Went for a longer walk, but the real difference was in my nutrition. Working in lots of veggies and several fruits throughout the day, even a little yogurt with fresh fruit as my dessert last night at dinner. No cheating yesterday. Success with the No Junk Food Challenge for 3 days in a row now. That always works for me if I will stick to it ruthlessly. Happy New Year!
01/02–169.0—Hiked yesterday, which almost always makes me tick up a little bit, but I also gave in to some LNS last night. Hopefully this will drop quickly again. Still a loss for the round so far though, so
01/03—167.8—Yay, headed back in the right direction. Got in a good workout early yesterday with my exercise bike, then stayed on plan for calories in the green. Have a breakfast meeting this morning at Panera—I will NOT have a cinnamon crunch bagel!!! I’ll need to repeat that mantra to myself multiple times between now and then. LOL
01/04–167.2—Did great during my breakfast with old friends—steel cut oatmeal INSTEAD of that cinnamon crunch bagel I love. Success! Also, got in an evening bike workout, so I’m happy with my day yesterday.

01/03 120.5 I again got kicked out and couldn’t get back to the message boards.ARRRGH! My “progress” showed up but my day count was 0. I get the following screen when I try to go to “community.”



Followed by one that says my session has timed out! I haven’t even gotten there. SO FRUSTRATING!

Yeah. I'm noticing issues as well. I imagine MFP is seeing an influx of folks making their health a big part of their New Year's Resolutions. Servers are probably getting hammered. I'm sure they'll get it leveled out soon..
