Day/Weight/Comment
01/01 398.8 – Fresh start and never giving up! I am thinking about starting WW again. I just don’t think so. I just think I am going to stick with MFP and my therapist every 2 weeks for now. And really make my health a priority now. Why is this so hard? Why?! Just venting.

If any of you have any thoughts on WW positive or negative, please share privately or here. I am a realist, so I do not take any offense just looking for honest feedback and personal experiences whether yours or family and friends. Thanks.

01/02 396.8 (-2.0)

– Yesterday was a lazy day. I only ate 2 meals, and both were light and good. No walking. I did some chores around the house. Reflected on my spiritual, health, and financial goals – in that order. Now to put something in writing for spiritual and health goals. Have a great day!

01/03 396.2 (-0.6)

– I got in my 6500-step goal and was under calories yesterday. I am not getting the 11:30 bedtime goal so far.

01/04 393.4 (-2.8) – Round goal reached! I guess it was too low, but I wanted to be realistic. I was a little over my calories yesterday and I got in my step goal and a few slow fast walks. I am making sure I log everything. I am going to the movies today. I am taking my own snacks with me. I am eating before and if my friend wants to go for a bite, I am good with movie only. I will decline because I going to visit my Dad. It is really helping me to stop and take a few minutes to read some of the posts here. I will never catch up, but thank you all for being here. It helps! I remember things I stopped doing. Like pre-logging. I used to do that in the mornings. It helps even if I don’t stick to it. I am going to go back to it. Have a great weekend!! :flowerforyou:

01/05 395.4 (+2.0)
01/06 395.2 (-0.2) – The good thing about this weekend is I maintained my round goal!

I will continue to work on the weekend bumps. It will never be perfect for sure, but again my goal is 80/20. Consistency not perfection. I did not get in any intentional exercising. But moving on to a new week and new round soon!

Hopefully I can go back down a little today to have a 4-pound loss this round. I plan to get in some short walks and drink a lot of water. Have a great day! :flowerforyou:

Total change this round: (-3.6) (SW 398.8 – GW 396)

*One of my major goals is to get my BMI under 40 so I can have surgery on my knees *

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"

In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.

In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.

In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs

My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"

I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.

I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.

Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.

Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.

On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.

My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.

Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.

@mthomas0228 Thanks so much for your thoughtful reply. Yes, we can (re)do this! I’m going to try IF 16/8 for a couple of weeks and see what happens. Goodbye, evening snacks!

@mthomas0228 I loved seeing this quote in your reply to @sheilaboneham: "As you mentioned I am doing IF 16/8 which really works for me, after about a week of eating this way, I no longer get hungry with any emotions attached to it, more like "time to eat" instead of "I'm starving, must eat all the foods..."

I started doing IF 16/8 a while back but have been back on it again for about 2 weeks and doing it consistently. I loved seeing your quote I pasted above, not only because I'm happy for you, but it reaffirmed exactly how I've been feeling about IF. It was astounding to me when I started IF 16/8 that all of a sudden I wasn't obsessing over food any longer. It became more about as you said "time to eat" instead of having cravings and eating everything in the house, or mindless inhaling of food based on emotions. I stopped thinking about or wanting food all the time. After many years of bingeing, I did not expect this major of a change. Not having sugar/processed foods made a big difference with cravings but IF 16/8 was different, it changed how I "think" about food. Thanks for your postings! This forum is so great and everyone is so supportive.

Round 100 - Dec. 29 - Jan.7
Glad to be back after a couple of weeks of shingles – so thankful that it has been a very mild case. Round 100 … 1,000 days for some people … plus a new year … a new decade and to top it all off – I finally have my computer cleaned and set up in my new home office!
Female, 5’, 66 years. SW – 165, GW – 164 something, UGW – 140. (This really should be 125 or 130 but that seems like such a long ways to go and 140 would be a huge improvement.)
Goals – finish calorie log each day, 30 min. of movement every day, only yogurt or fruit in the evening and nothing after 9 p.m. I may go to the gym (or not) depending how I feel toward the end.
Day/Weight/Comment
12/29
12/30
12/31 – 165 – I was up higher than this but think if might have been the anti-viral meds I was on. Guess we will see over the next few days.
01/01 – 165.8 – Ham last night, at least I’m hoping it’s water. Planning ham soup for today but will try to keep the salt down. Other goal is to actually track everything instead of guesstimating.
01/02 – 166.6 – I weighed but MFP wouldn’t load for me in the morning and then totally forgot.
01/03 – 166 – After yesterday’s scary number – ham soup was great but too much salt I’m guessing – it’s good to be down a bit. This is shaping up to be quite the year. Oldest grandson gets married in April, babysitting 6 grandkids (one of whom is special needs) in May, and hoping to have our house on the market beginning of June. I think it was the prospect of the last that brought on the shingles. So I’m taking it slow but steady. January I’m painting doors (15) and going through papers & books. Some people love being busy but I tend to panic and eat. So now I’ve mapped out a plan, I’m just focusing doing that and eating right, of course.
01/04 – 166 – LNS a few graham crackers and goji berries. Need to stay away from the computer after 8. Finished first 2 doors.
01/05
01/06 – 166.2 – Did not track yesterday but also kept to an apple for LNS. Went to bed at a decent hour and made a reasonable list for today to get back on track.

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
Round GW: 140.0
UGW: 132.2

12/29 - 143.2 at 9:30 a.m. ...naw, I don't think so...
12/30 - 143.0 at 8:00 a.m. ...worked out w/our personal trainer for 60 mins.
12/31 - 143.6 at 9:30 a.m. ...man!
01/01 - 142.8 at 8:00 a.m.
01/02 - 143.0 at 9:00 a.m. ...really good yesterday and worked out w/our trainer. Really good today. I miss walking.
01/03 - 142.8 at 8:45 a.m.
01/04 - 144.0 at 8:45 a.m. ...I guess getting up at midnight and eating half a pkg of graham crackers while looking for a Paw Patrol Tower for our grandson isn't the wisest thing to do.

01/05 - 143.7 at 8:30 a.m.
01/06 - 146.4 at 5:30 a.m. ...had such a hard time typing that...ugh!

@fmfdfa2020 Thanks for following up the earlier conversation with @mthomas0228 with this. That does it — I’m going to try IF 16/8 starting now! ⏱

@sheilaboneham Even though it's helped me so much, it isn't always easy at first until you get used to it. The best times for me is to stop eating at 4p or 5p and eating again anywhere between 9a and 11a the next day. Because I'm not hungry at all in the mornings, this works best for me. And you are asleep during most of the fast time

. I have days where I end up fasting up to 18 hrs without really trying, again because I'm not hungry in the mornings and I eat a good meal right before I end my eating period. There are videos on youtube if you haven't checked them out yet. However, you might see where some people cut their calories down to 500 on days they fast - I do NOT do this. I still eat my normal number of calories - right now, between 1100 and 1400. Good Luck!! I hope it makes a difference for you, too!! Let us know how it goes.

12/28 …..194.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

12/29 …..190.4 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1156 Calories In / 2432 Calories Out. 12 Net Carbs. 12,362 Total Steps & 5.23 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 14 minutes. I walked at about 3.0 mph for 18 minutes burning 90 calories. It’s a start! Good luck everyone on the monumental 100th round!

12/30 …..190.4 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 998 Calories In / 2236 Calories out. 58 Net Carbs. 8497 Steps & 3.6 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept for 6 hours & 21 minutes. Getting over 5 hours of sleep per night has been a nice trend throughout the last couple of weeks.

12/31 …..191.2 ….. 1710 Calories In / 2520 Calories Out. 61 Net Carbs. 13,108 Total Steps & 5.51 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 19 minutes. I danced for 35 minutes burning 212 calories. [color-=crimson]Sample song – “Going Timber” by Pit Bull.

01/01 …..189.2 ….. Happy New Year Everyone! Posting late due to starting what will be an incredible amount of paperwork for my business. Quarterly sales tax, Annual Sales tax for 2019 and 2019 Income Taxes. Yesterday was a good day. A little low on calories and a little high on carbs due to spaghetti squash recipe I tried. 675 Calories In / 2634 Calories Out. 30 Net Carbs. 16,099 Total Steps & 6.81 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 17 minutes. I walked in the school for 114 minutes at about 3.0 mph burning 634 calories

01/02 …..188.2 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1145 Calories In / 2752 Calories Out. 60 Net Carbs due to one teeny tiny slice of frozen pizza (from son) when I missed dinner (very long phone call from far-away cousin). 17,628 Total Steps & 7.46 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 30 minutes. I walked twice yesterday. Once for 61 minutes at 2.75 mph burning 276 calories. Once for 30 minutes at 4.25 mph burning 245 calories. Total extra calorie burn 521. I need to be more serious about my water intake.

01/03 …..190.0 ….. Gain is due to a fast & furious eating frenzy after a severe drop in my blood glucose. Blind & frenzied eating which is unfortunate because I know better, but it is the “save myself” instinctive thing to do. Clearly my calories were too low the last couple of days but I was never hungry (intuitive eating?). I’ve got to try to keep my meals steady. I was sick all night. To try to regain my strength today I am going to skip my walk at the school and focus on small but steady activity at home. Over calorie and over carb yesterday. I burned an extra 670 calories walking 119 minutes at 4.25 mph before I became so sick. Taking it easy today.

01/04 …..190.0 …..

01/05 …..192.4 ….. Brought in a crew of family, friends and locals (previous guests) to help take down all the Christmas trees and decorations from my home and business. They did most of the heavy lifting and transporting to on-site storage. I spent most of the day wrapping, wrapping, wrapping all the glass pieces. I fed the Army and ate also which consisted of way too many carbs (and calories too, I’m sure!). Today is standard Sunday check-out cabin cleaning, and working on putting back all my normal décor around the house & business office/check-in station. I hope to burn some major calories and get in a good amount of steps. I’m thinking today should be an egg or beef & butter fast for a least 24 hours to kick-start my good intentions. I must stop what I’m doing from time to time and DRINK MY WATER! Thanks to “lily lady 3k” for this: " Don’t let unstructured time become unstructured eating. - Beck " I think that Mantra will help me today!

01/06 …..191.8 ….. That’s better! An okay day yesterday. Calories were within my limits but carbs were over due to crummy choices. Good activity level for a Sunday. Water intake better but too much too close to bed. Travel is likely on Wednesday, so I dread spending the entire next round trying to shake the damage. I’ll try to keep that in mind when reading the menu.

01/07 …..xxxxx …..

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29--Back in town after 5 days. We had a great time. I weighed myself when I got home late this afternoon, just to get some idea of how much of a bump up there is on the scale after my snacking and lack of water drinking, and I was only up 3.6lbs. I will weigh in tomorrow morning at my regular weigh-in time to get a more accurate number.
12/30--208.1 Only up 2.5lbs after being out of town, I am happy about that. Strength coach today. Goal for today is to get my water in.
12/31--207.8 Yesterday's workout with my strength coach was really hard, it's surprising how quickly my workouts can suffer when I haven't worked out for a such a short time. I'm back at work today after being off for a week, so the regular schedule today should make it easier for me to get my water in today.
01/01--208.1 Didn't fully get back to normal eating as my husband wanted to go out for dinner and some drinks last night. I went to see my strength coach today and it was another tough workout. I told my coach that for me this year is the year of flexibility, so that is what I will work on this year. Also, by working on my flexibility, it will also help me with my weightlifting.
01/02--207.4 Tonight is my 1st day of a 30 day yoga YouTube program I'm going to do, in order to work on my flexibility.
01/03--206.3 Finished day 1 yesterday of my yoga program, and while at times it was difficult, I felt so good afterwards. I did not have a great sleep last night, but luckily I am off today, but I do have some appointments today. I'm supposed to go to the gym today...we'll see.
01/04--205.9 No gym yesterday, I had a major headache from my horrible sleep the night before. I took a nap later in the evening and it definitely helped, so I was able to finish day 2 of YWA. Plan is to go out for a run today, once the rain stops, and I want to clean the house, that includes taking down the Christmas tree.
01/05--205.6 Finished w7d3 of c25k yesterday. Between travelling and bad weather, I haven't run in 10 days, so I'm very proud with myself that I actually did go out and run. Later in the evening I finished day 3 of YWA. I also just realized that all of the "gain" from my holiday trip is gone. Strength coach today and, if the weather holds, hubby and I will take the dog out for a long trail walk. Later I will do day 4 of YWA.
01/06--206.1 Finished day 4 of YWA yesterday. My trainer changed up my workout as of yesterday as he starts my training for the Spartan race. As part of my year of flexibility I had signed up for an adult ballet class, and the first class is tonight...we'll see how that goes.

01/02 59.6 (Good food, cardio and core)
01/03 59.3 (Yay for healthy eating and good exercise! I will be travelling from today till Sunday evening so I may not be able to weigh in till the 6th. I will watch my food and work out though.)
01/04 59.1 (hotel scale)
01/05 59.1 (hotel scale)

01/07 58.9

Closing the round having reached my goal weight, very happy about that. This was my most successful round (previous one in Christmas week was tough). I lost 1.1 kg this round (2 point something pounds) and got closer to my goal weight. Very happy and pleased overall.

01/02 – 174.0 – Back from a lovely few days with my kids and grandkids. I didn’t expect a drop over the holidays, but I’ve been fighting a nasty cold that’s suppressed my appetite, so I guess I shouldn’t really be surprised. Took a rest day and worked on staying hydrated.
01/03 – 172.0 – Slept in and woke up feeling a little dehydrated, so I’m sure this is a false low. Still congested, but otherwise feeling much better, so I got some chores done. Ate most of my calories today, but had too much salt. I’m sure it will take a few days of normal health and good habits to get my electrolytes back in balance.
01/04 – 173.0 – Easy day, although I managed to get a few things done before heading out for burgers and a movie with my husband. Skipped the fries, but candy at the movie put me over my calorie limit. Still managed a small deficit, but I guess my appetite’s back 😉
01/05 – 173.0 – Still a good bit down from where I started the round and a more realistic number than Friday’s low. I met my calorie goal today and even got out for a bit of a walk despite the wind. Now that my cold is largely behind me, I’m looking to get a lot done in the coming week.
01/06 – 172.8 – I had to push myself to get out today, but I really enjoyed walking in the park again once I got there. I was worried the cold air would trigger my lingering cough, but luckily it was a bit warmer and more humid today, so I wound up walking for twice the time I’d planned. On track again with logging and under my calorie limit.

1/01 1day: goal to lose 3 lb in 10 days, walk 10,000 steps. Eat low carb.
182 lb. 7,064 steps. Under 1200 calories and under 20 net carbs.
1/02 2nd day: 182 lb. 5,577 steps. 856 calories and 17 Net Carbs.

1/03 Doing Keto Diet but I’m not in Ketosis. Hope to get there soon. 182 lb. 5588 steps. 942 calories and 14 Carbs.

1/04 182 lb ate 824 calories 14 Carbs and walked 3286 steps. Still not in Ketosis but my cravings are low so I know that part of Keto is working. Hopefully tomorrow I will start loosing some weight.

1/05. 178lb. Ate 783 calories 15 Carbs. 2768 steps Need to walk more. Must have lost a lot of water weight. Still not in Ketosis but I know I’m on the right track. I’m measuring and weighing all my food to make sure I’m using the correct counts. I’m not eating much cheese I think that slows my progress down 🤔

1/06. 179.2 lb 1125 Calories 17 Carbs and 6,358 steps. On track for the week. Hope to walk more but my knee just won’t let me.

Ready for my round 37
OSW 88KG
RSW 61.1(-26.9 kg) or {- 59.3lbs}
Goal... Less than I started
12/29 60.95kg...getting there
12/30 60.15kg. Ready to exercise again after lazy day yesterday.
12/31 60.55kg just one of those things. Travelling day tomorrow. Packing up today.
01/01 60.15kg but will be up tomorrow after a few gins last night. Happy New year! All day in the car today. Appointment booked at the gym with trainer for 9am tomorrow. I can't wait! I have tried to work out while I have been away but it isn't the same. Struggling to come to terms with being the person who misses the gym....
01/02 60.85 kg which is not a surprise. I'm back to losing from today. Gym appointment in a couple of hours and I'm feeling inspired again.
01/03 60.65kg a great day yesterday. Back in the gym and a goal settling meeting with the trainer went well. Agreed I want to get strong this year and the session reflected that! Going back today for another session. Kept inside all my macros yesterday so going for a drop before the 1 year anniversary on Sunday.
01/04 60.1kg. Tough workout yesterday but so worth it. Hair cut too so I'm ready to go back to work on Monday. Going to have a quiet weekend with some stretching only.
01/05 365 days! 60.1kg. So after a year on mfp and keto (with a few slips of course!) I have lost just short of 28 kg or 61.5lbs. Not much loss these last 2 months but I can't claim a stall or a plateau because I haven't been strict. I aim to lose another 3kg {6.6lbs} and I have rededicated myself to this journey. Thanks to everyone here for the last 365 days and onwards to the next!
01/06 60.0kg...back to work and back to the gym at 5am.

01/07 59.85kg! Under 60 for the 1st time in a while. Gym was great this morning.

Total loss this round 1.25 kg {2.75 lbs}

jca12345 · January 2020

ust seen this thread and it looks awesome- great to keep me accountable- hopefully. Been on MFP for ages, well always had it in the background. 2019 not been a good year weight wise, I’ve put on a shocking amount of weight after otherwise being a healthy (ish) weight for years. Anyway here goes....

Start Weight- 218.8lb
End of 10 day goal- 214lb
Ultimate Goal Weight- 175lb

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29 218.8lb
12/30 217.2lb 😀 (A good start)
12/31 217.0lb Had a very good ‘leg’ session at the gym yesterday and I’m feeling it this morning in my quads and calves. Back to it today, bench pressing and some HiiT on the stepper planner before the New Years Eve festivities. Takeaway has been suggested by family, so I’m going to let myself have it, but make sure it fits within my calorie goal for the day. Oh and 3 weeks into being alcohol free- taking my own AF beer!!
01/01- 219lb Good session at the gym yesterday and thankfully the gym’s open again today. Had a takeaway last night and probably indulged too much in nibbles etc. Stuck to non-alcoholic beer which is a win. I think the salt from the curry and nuts etc are causing this weight retention today. Stuck within my calories- just, yesterday so hopefully this will come off in the next day or so. Plenty of water today and easy on the carbs....
01/02- 216.8lb Stuck to my intentions yesterday. Made a lovely sweet potato and black bean chilli which made several portions 👍🏻. Another gym session today followed by an hour of football training, so plenty of cardio today. Going to have another day of watching carbs closely and drinking loads of fluid in order to flush out any remaining water weight from New Years.
01/03- 216.2 (Moving in the right direction)
Skipped the cardio aspect of the gym yesterday as my legs were in pieces after heavy squats and various isolation exercises. Felt like I could eat everything in sight yesterday- chose healthy (ish) snacks to eat rather than the masses of chocolate my misses has in the cupboard! Plan today is to do a chest session at the gym and stick to my food entered in my diary (I always log the day before).
01/04 216.6lb Not a massive change from yesterday so not bothered by the slight increase. Been much more active today, 5 hours of football coaching followed by an hour at the gym. Did some interval stuff on the elliptical after some deadlifts, strict pressure and other back exercises. Salmon and spinach curry for tea. Would like to reevaluate my 10 day goal to 215lb. Probably a bit optimistic with the original goal- especially with my body getting used to this new workout regime.
01/05 216.6 Same as yesterday, I know I’m not drinking anywhere near the amount of water that my body needs. I just can’t seem to get used to drinking so much of it. Always drink 1l at the gym, then probably only another 500ml in the day. Going to the gym (11th day running) for a leg session, always love the sessions as my legs are too sore to attempt cardio 😀😀😀.
01/06- 216.2 At least it’s on its way down! Back to work today so should be a bit kore active in addition to my gym session tonight.
Not going to bother with the staff room today- too many sweet and savoury treats will be brought in from Christmas; stay in my room and resist! Plus I can’t do with everybody having the same conversation 30 times!!!! Hope to get under the 216 mark for the 10 day mark, which will take me to 3lb lost for the 10 days which I’m pleased with.
01/07- 217.2😫 Well 215 was not to be. Not sure what would be causing this small spike in weight? Could be water retention from the gym- but, never mind. Onwards and upwards to the next 10 days. Overall I’ve lost 1.6lb which is much better than nothing.
Aim today is to drink lots of water and go to the gym after football coaching tonight.

goal: sticking to my plan every day

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.

01/05 83,3 kg - even though yesterday I ate a bit over calories but in a healthy/fatty way... I guess the overall calories defizit of the week starts to kick in - at least I hope so.

01/06 82,5 kg Finally the needle starts moving! Yesterday I went for a 1.5 hrs walk and did IF/OMAD. I liked imagining when I went for that walk in the morning in a fasted state how my body was breaking down some older cells and that something good was happening there. Decided to go for another OMAD today because scedule. In January the plan is to do alternate days with tweaks if needed.

01/07 81,7 kg Wow! What a nice surprise:-) Did another OMAD and felt really good during the whole fast. I have nicer dreams since I have gone keto again with IF, I can feel my brain has improved and I feel calmer. Today is FEAST-DAY;)
Total change this round: -1.7 kg /-3.7 lbs
