01/13 - 151.9 - So my guess-timate for yesterday was probably more right than wrong given this weight. Got meals prepped for this short week. May need to stop and get some snack stuff for my drive down to Texas Thursday so I don't have to stop as much or deal with gas station/fast food which will make my tummy unhappy. Didn't really stop on my last drive back home so I image a peanut butter sandwich and a couple small snacks may be enough. I have water to take with me as well. Didn't do YWA HOME Saturday so did 2 practices yesterday to catch up. I realized I'm going to be missing 5 days of it so when I get back I have 5 days of catch up and must do 2 a day (I know I don't have to, but mentally it'll be better for me)

Previous Day's Comments01/08 - And this is what not eating (or drinking) due to nerves looks like. False low! I had a few cashews to break my fast before lunch (in meeting and started getting nauseous) and ended up not having lunch at all because I got distracted/busy and found out I had a job interview coming up later in the evening. I also found out the company wanting to interview me (as the job posting was through a recruiter and company was not revealed until interview) so I had to try to focus on work knowing I had limited time to research the company once I was home. I got asked if I could fly down to Austin for an in-person interview immediately, though! So after that I did my Yoga with Adriene HOME practice (I've heard about the ab day 6 and figured it best to wait to eat until after) and finally was hungry enough to eat. Today should be better and I expect a jump up tomorrow/remainder of the round since I've managed to only eat dinner these last two days (which is great if I were fasting, but I had cashews as a snack so not in a fully fasted state and I did not eat my allotted calories during dinner to make up for it). Side note: I'M EXHAUSTED. For some reason I've been struggling to sleep and when I finally do manage to fall into deep sleep, its right around when my alarm goes off. Its now day 4 of this... Instant migraine this morning, shouldn't have complained about the headache yesterday morning. Its my Friday so I can sleep a little more tomorrow morning and hopefully feel refreshed and ready to go! Just needed to rant a little on that, I'm good. Probably caffeine withdrawals since I didn't have a drop of the stuff yesterday. Got me some ibuprofen and a small cup of black coffee and it seems to be helping quite a bit.
01/09 - Much better!! I ate appropriately calorie-wise yesterday (had more than one meal finally) and didn't hit my water goal, but doubled what I was drinking before so I'll take it! This is a much more accurate number than the last couple days. I'm happy it is still lower, but 151.x made me a little uneasy. Even 152.x didn't make me feel like I should've while knowing why I was so low (not treating my body well, even if not intentional). Off work tomorrow but taking car in to get serviced so not quite sure what will be on the menu (depends on how long service takes, I suppose - appointment is at 10 and its 30 minutes from home so it'll be time for me to break my fast pretty soon after). I need to save money for my impromptu trip to Texas over MLK day though. I did not budget for any of that so I'll likely just take a snack in case its a long appt and eat at home after to save..
01/10 - Guess I'm going to bounce here. It is a much more comfortable 152.x than before (when I was practically starving myself. Its an ice storm outside, really nasty today. Got the oil changed and suspension inspected then booked it home before it got worse. Turns out my car has to be fixed and I'm going to Texas a little early. Oh boy. There's a job fair for RecruitMilitary on Friday so I'm driving down Thursday instead of Saturday. I might as well go to the job fair while I'm already driving down there for the interview, right? I'm staying with BF so its not like it'll cost me any extra for a hotel or anything. While I'm gone, my car is in desperate need (like not really safe to drive kinda need) of struts and front brakes. So it will be dropped off and more money on the credit card since I still don't know what I'm going to be paid for the rest of this month and my bills come out of my checking on autopay. No overdraft for me! It'll get worked out soon, though, as I'm budgeting like crazy where I can and hopefully have it paid off come the end of February. Then its back to the loan and the other 2 credit cards that don't look so pretty... I'm a mess but I'm doing Dave Ramsey's baby steps to get back on track like I was about a year and a half ago before I retired. At least this card earns airline miles for my pending 2021 vacation and it'll be THAT much less I need to save for vacation once debt is paid off.
01/11 - Okay with this, a little water retention from lack of water. Ice storm yesterday and was out in it so didn't stop to get more water as I tried to beat the worst of it home. Still nasty out but staying home today. Ice has turned to snow but looks like it should be done by noon. Going to be almost 40 tomorrow so hopefully it'll melt all the icky away.
01/12 - I honestly don't remember my weight... It was an odd number in the low 152 range (152.1 or 152.2 I think, but not 100% sure). I had to step on the scale twice to be sure. Oh well. My fault for not posting soon enough as I got busy helping babysit. Tomorrow I will weigh in. Everything is set and scheduled for my trip to Texas Thursday. Just have to get the trailer and get it loaded on Wednesday after work but I have someone coming to help with that. Then have someone helping me drop off my car after trailer is loaded so it can get fixed while I'm gone. So much money all in one weekend I want to cry. But it'll help in the long run. Just have to focus on setting aside enough for my big move and throw the rest at debt until its gone. Started packing non-essential stuff, mainly kitchen-focused (things that are nice to have but I can do without. Especially since its just me, not the entire family so no extravagance needed with cooking). Figured if I can get a better assessment of what I have and will need when I move, I may be able to purge some more stuff and get a smaller truck which is much cheaper.

@quiltingjaine Retired from military. Its a medical retirement but I do have retirement pay from the army for the remainder of my life due to my back injury and fusion. Its not enough to live on so I do have a job in the civilian world and I work as if I wasn't retired. Even so, I'm a busy bee and can't sit home all day so working gives me a purpose (even if it stresses me out sometimes, I do love my "new" job. Been here a year so still relatively new to me)
Sorry for late reply, I'm just now getting a chance to read through the weekend's posts!6 -

1/8: 222.6 not sure if I've set my 10-day goal a little too aggressive, but we'll see. Holiday weight is now gone so going for even more loss!

1/11: 223.7 rough days Thursday and Friday. Went off the rail for some reason. Still not sure why. Back on track now.
1/12: 222.2 feeling back on track and more in control of my emotions. Dang, this is tough stuff.
1/13: 221.8 We had lunch at Santa Fe after church yesterday. It is possible to eat semi-healthy at restaurants but it’s so hard to resist when everyone else is eating whatever they want. I chose a grilled chicken breast, steamed broccoli, and a side salad with dressing on the side (only dipping salad into the dressing). I did have a dinner roll with butter but also made sure to log it and ate light in the evening.

Eat at/under calorie goal each day (I’m full time breast-feeding, so that’s still a lot of calories!). Be especially watchful of evening eating. Hydrate. Move. Lose any amount.

Goal for end of Round 101 - 174.0
Only tracking short-term 10 day goal - looking too far ahead doesn't work for me. Celebrating every healthy change along the way!
Round 10101/08 - 178.7 I'm very happy the small increase still kept me solidly in the 170's and didn't bounce back to 180's! Increased my calories yesterday intentionally to 1437. Rowed 30 mins. Did some reps with free weights. Not enough water. Excited for a day of healthy eating and lots of water!
01/09 - 178.7 My body has decided it wants to continue to have its own little private party with this weight for a while longer. I wanted to say how inspiring y'all are. I was looking at some of your posts this morning and the amount of weight you have lost and how positive you have been throughout the ups and downs, really amazing! I'm so glad I found this group.
01/10 - 177.9 Yay! I hope that's it for 178 - we shall see. IF 18 hrs, 1143 calories and rowed 30 mins. Yesterday was 14 days of sticking to it, which for me is amazing. I'm usually off it by the 5th day. I've had no sugar or processed food for these 14 days which has helped my cravings tremendously. One other thing I stopped quite a while ago that helped with cravings was diet coke. That had to be one of the best things I've done for my health. It took me having surgery to scare me off the stuff.
01/11 - 177.7 IF 18 hrs. I finally had 64oz water and lots of vegies. I'm trying to work on both of these. I've been making lots of casseroles with chicken or ground beef I get from the local farmer and I throw tons of vegies into it, add an ounce of cheese and use chicken broth. I add a few potatoes to smash up to thicken it, then bake it. It's really good and lasts for days.
01/12 - 177.8 IF 17.5 hrs, 30 min row, free weights, 64oz+ water, lots of vegies. Goal of 174 might have been a little optimistic
We soon shall see. Either way, I'm doing all the right things, and going in the right direction.

1/8 - 176.2
So far, so good with first 2 days of IF. I’m already finding my “no snacks after dinner” policy easier to stick to than low calorie snacks, which always seem to lead to more. So yay!
1/9 - 176.8
Calories and not snacking were on target, but I had lunch out and it was salty — I could taste/feel it. I drank lots of water and will today, so I expect to flush the salt.
1/10 - 176.8
No weight drop, but I feel less bloated. I’m mostly snack free — yay! — but did have a piece of toast last night as my stomach was upset. That did the trick. Feeling energized today.
1/11 - 177
I have no clue how this makes any sense — calories fine the past few days, macros in line. Weird. But ok, I’ll just keep on keep in’ on and see what happens. Have a lovely weekend, all! If you’re in the path of the storms, be safe.
1/12 - 176
That’s better, if not great. I did have a piece of chocolate cake yesterday, so calories up a tad. But not too awful. Enjoy your Sunday, all!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/08 163.0 This is the lowest I have been in over 5 years. Up until I hit my 40's I could eat anything I wanted, looking forward to weighing what I did when I was younger.
01/09 164.0 lbs. New it was to good to be true. LOL, Met all my goals so expect this to go back down.
01/10 164.4 lbs I usually allow myself 1200 to 1500 calorie window but have been noticing that I am not loosing if I go over 1200. I might have to reset my calorie goals. I have been walking 2 to 3 miles each day in the house, below zero and crazy wind outside and doing a 20 to 30 minute workout. Someone just introduced me to Fiton workouts and love all the choices. No worries I will get this figured out. I want back in the 163"s.
01/11 163.6 lbs under 1200 in calories, walked 2 miles in the house, FitOn workout plus 2020 challenge.
01/12 164.6 We went out with friends to watch the Bison and Viking game and I was way over calories but had a great time.
01/13 165 lbs . Bummer, but I had cabin fever bad. The weather here is not cooperating, icy snow, so no sking or walking and below zero wind chills in the -30's makes it impossible to do anything outside. No gym near and I get bored and snack. Oh well this is a new week.

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine. - John C. MaxwellMy goal for 2020 is to get into ONEderland and making it stick. Changing my life.

- Drink more water (target min 64 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
- Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020)
- Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
- Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

Day/Weight/Comment
01/08: 205.6 Yes! Down a full pound already! I had a great day, I am proud to admit out loud! Not only because I stayed under my calorie deficit, but because I actually had to eat more to make sure I came close to hitting the needed calories (good calorie choices, too). I am eager to continue good habits today.
01/09: 204.0 Increased my water intake during my period and watched my sodium intake; two problems I have struggled with in my weight loss efforts. I was always afraid I’d drank too much water, but it looks like I have been dehydrated during my period, as my doctor suggested.
01/10: 204.0 Holding steady.
01/11: 203.8 Not too happy with the way I snacked between meals yesterday.
01/12: 204.0 It snowed, so I neglected my walking routine. Looks like I will just have to brave the cold!
01/13: 202.8 Resumed my walking routine and finally cut back on the sugar.

Back for Round 101
Female / Age 62 / 5'2"
OW: 158.5 (12/30/18)
UG: 135.0 (for now, healthy weight for me)
Thanks @GrandmaJackie for getting us started! 16 pages! WOW! You guys are going gang busters. I will catch up!
've still been in and out. Things have been nuts on both the work and home fronts. I've been mindful of my eating, but have not really been on program. Remainder of this round is not looking any better with a work trip this week, so mindfulness and maintenance will be the goal.
Intro:Let me introduce myself. I struggled with my weight as a teen, topping out at nearly 200. I dropped it after high school and got to a healthy weight. Every major life changed has brought weight back on - having kids, pre-menopause, menopause, family tragedy, post menopause. I've knocked it back down each time, and have been surprised that each time required a different strategy, and resulted in a different type of lifestyle change to maintain. Each time as been much harder and slower. At this point, it's moving off at a snail's pace.
Motivation. I have a hyatial hernia. It does not bother me as long as I keep the weight at 150 or below. Every female on my mother's side has had arthritic knees, and I'm starting to feel twinges. They have also sustained falls and broken bones. My husband had a major health scare a coupe of years ago. The idea of being put out of commission by a preventable injury or illness scares the bejimminies out of me.
Goals. The goals at this stage are to drop weight to a healthy range, realign my eating style to a lifestyle that will keep me healthy into my golden years, and strengthen the muscles that support my knees, ankles, and shoulders, along with my core, to prevent injury.
Dropping weight post menopausal has been so difficult, I need this to be the last time. 10-15 pounds used to be easy to drop, so that was always my warning bell to focus. Not so much now. Looks like a 3-5 pound fluctuation will be it.
A healthy weight for me is 135-140. I've always looked anorexic at 120. We'll see how things are at 135, and go from there.
Round StatsR95: SW 146.3 GW 146.0 EW 145.3 Results -1.0 loss
R96: SW 145.3 GW 144.0 EW 145.0 Results - 0.3 loss

R99: SW 145.3 GW 144.3 EW 144.6 Results - 0.7 loss
R100: SW 144.6 GW 143.6 EW 144.5 Results - 0.1 loss
Strategy: Up the hydrating foods. Fruit with breakfast. Salad/veggies as bulk of lunch. Healthy dinner. Limit/eliminate processed carbs and sugars. Zero calorie intake after 8pm. Strength exercises 3 days on/1 day rest. Regular movement through day to compensate for desk job.
R99 Challenges: My challenges this round will be finding and getting back to a routine. Life has been quite unfair as we moved into the holidays. My son lost his mother in-law in childbirth on Christmas Eve. She was just 48, and left behind three granddaughters who are devastated and the baby was transferred to NICU 3 hours away. My daughter in-law has been with the baby (who is stable now), and we have been trying to help my son with the girls. Then my mother in-law was admitted on Thursday with complications from pneumonia and passed away on Sunday. That things have been stressful and chaotic, is an understatement.
I am proud of myself for being mindful of my emotional and physical self. It will take a concerted effort to stay the course as our family navigates the changes. I spent some quiet time this morning doing my meal planning. I've also looked at my Round Stats, and see that I stayed stable over the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays - that's huge!

01/11 (S) 144.4 (Trend Weight 144.8) Ok. Here we go - a nice downward trend. I've been mindful but not focused. I will need laser focus between now and Monday to "buy" a buffer. I have onsite work meetings Tuesday through Thursday, so my routine (and stress) will be off-norm. I am blown away at 16 pages of this Challenge to catch up on, but catch up I will.
01/12 (S) 145.0 (Trend Weight 144.8) S'ok. That's a late dinner and late weigh-in after water & coffee. Focused on getting ahead on stuff around house before travel this week.
01/13 (M) 144.6 (Trend Weight 144.8) Almost want to laugh. I'm pretty much flat lined. I'll take it over steady gains, which is my usual winter pattern. I continue to be mindful, but not focused, which is working for now. Leave this evening for work meetings. Will get a good bit of walking. If I can stay mindful, it shouldn't be too big of a hit. "See" ya on my return!

Round 101 – Round 1 for me
I participated in this challenge a while back, worked well for me! I’ve been in maintenance for about a year now, but recently noticed some weight creeping back on, so I’m looking to lose a few pounds and get back to that comfort zone.
Original starting weight: 155lb
Current weight: 127.8lb
Ultimate goal weight: 124lb (maintenance is 123-126)
Goal weight for this round: 125.8lb
1/8 127.8 First time on the scale since mid-November, wasn’t as bad as I thought. But definitely higher than I was back then. It’s ok though, I know how to lose it, I just have to do it. Yesterday was a good day, a little high on the sodium and TOM, so some may drop off quickly after a few days. Hoping to stick to my goals each day, but also allow myself to enjoy time out with my family & friends.
1/9 126.6 That was a welcome surprise – though with it being TOM I kind of figured it would happen. I’m going to tweak my goal for this round since I’m so close to the original one I posted (126.4) Good day yesterday, got my lunch work out in and stayed right under my calorie goal.
1/10 126.8 A little disappointed with this, good day yesterday and was expecting a loss. Have some plans this weekend that’ll definitely bump up the scale come Monday.
1/11 126.2 Looking good…
1/12 128.8 Not looking so good. I knew it was coming, was under my calories but had a sodium bomb restaurant meal.
1/13 128.8 Ugh cmon. I think no change annoys me even more than a gain! Gonna take a lot of work to hit that goal I set – I don’t think it’s gonna happen this round. Though I know the gain is “fake” and maybe I’ll get a nice woosh towards the end of the week, fingers crossed!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/08 – 124.2 – Been doing good with the calories and better with the water. Haven’t had a chance to do any walking/jogging since Saturday-things have been crazy at work and I really don’t want to go by myself after dark.
01/09 – 123.2
01/10 – 123.2
01/11 – 122.2 - !!!
01/12 – 122.6
01/13 – 123.0 – I was good until around dinner time, then I just kept wanting to snack. I still wasn’t too bad and I am still happy with where I am. I am ok with gaining and bouncing around since I am in maintenance, but it has definitely been an adjustment from always wanting to see a lower number.

▪1/10 - 186 - IF/21.5hrs. 17g carbs.
▪1/11 - 186 - IF/22.5hrs. 21g carbs. Really good workout on Thursday and felt great afterwards. BUT! (why must there be a but😞) some part of my exercise, together with my subpar mattress, smh, caused a sciatica flare up from piriformis that dominoed into low back pain, tight IT Band and inflamed hip flexor. Did not sleep comfortably, miserable all day yesterday and definitely no workout. I had planned a nice glute strength routine with lateral cardio exercises. Postponed to Saturday evening.
Wore my trochanter belt all day for back & hip flexor. The pressure from it had me in pain all day, worse without it. Just bought a new groin and hip brace yesterday. It should be delivered today. I hope it helps me.
▪1/12 - 187.4 - IF/21.5hrs. 29g carbs. A little bit of inflammation this morning from doing a few exercises from my workout just before bed. I felt MUCH better yesterday, no pain, but a lot of tightness in hip and hamstrings. Stretched throughout the day. Full workout today.
■1/13 - 185 - IF/22.5hrs. 23g carbs. Carbs are still higher than 20 grams and would have been very low if I hadn't eaten pistachios, dark chocolate and a teaspoon of fig/walnut jam. My workout seems to have become like a dream deferred. Smh. I was so tired yesterday. Nodded off sitting in the chair after eating. Then went to bed early. Still have some tension and tightness in hip, back and hamstrings. I'll give it another try today.

1/8 158.6 0 miles Where did that come from? I am only happy about it. I went to my bioDad's 83rd birthday dinner last night. He likes this very country-style restaurant. Deep-fried everything and VERY talented in-house bakers. They now have three salads, two of which have fried chicken strips, but hey they're trying. My only real indulgence was a fresh hot dinner roll right out of the oven. I don't like bread, so it is easy for me to avoid EXCEPT freshly baked rolls.
1/9 159.9 8 miles I assume I'm retaining water due to muscle strain. I walked 8 miles yesterday, the longest distance of my life. Long story short, I took yesterday afternoon off specifically to go for a long walk. I met a girlfriend and the planned walk was 5.4 miles. Over a half-mile in she remembers she didn't lock her car, so we had to walk back (extra mile #1). The extra mile and a half were because we were feeling adventurous and not feeling our 50 years of age. It took over 3 hours that was up and down hills, crossed the creek twice, took a wrong turn and had to climb a fence, it was a great time! Around mile 7 though my feet and toes started hurting. I have a huge blister and am my legs are sore this morning. The app said I had burned over 2,000 calories (which I don't believe) so I went out to dinner thinking I can have whatever I want... I had a salad and 4 mushroom appetizers. I was too full to eat my entree... MFP said I had 2020 remaining calories yesterday. HAHAHA
1/10 158.8 0 miles As I go back down the roller coaster. I was starving all day yesterday, so I ended up going over on calories. I assume it was the walk from the day before but TOM is coming soon so either way. I had to wrap my toe yesterday and again today because the blister made it difficult to walk. I'm taking today off from exercise because I haven't been sleeping. I probably got 3 hours last night, I'm a little zombie-like today. I can fall asleep but I can't stay asleep, or fall back to sleep. It's been like this for days. Anyway, happy Friday everyone. I hope the snow we're supposed to get this weekend isn't too bad. I was supposed to take baby girl tomorrow but I don't know if her parents are going to give her up. It might end up being for the weekend depending on the snow. That being said I did pick up enough baby snacks and diapers... Just saying.
1/11 159.2 0 miles. The bad weather started last night, no walking today either.
1/12 159.6 0 miles No walking today but I did a major house clean up and rearranging yesterday. We were snowed in for the entire day.
1/13 159.9 0 miles TOM is almost here, so I have a slight bump. Should be gone after I start. I'm walking tonight. The snow is still everywhere but I know a trail that gets cleared off like a road, and I brought waterproof shoes. Four days straight without walking is making me jumpy. I should have gone yesterday but I messed up the timing and then the Chiefs had to have a spectacular game that I had to watch in person and not just listen to on the radio.12 -

01/08 266.8 I’ll admit I let the scale get me a little down this morning. However, as I was putting together the document that I use for this challenge I realized that I’m doing great. I’m only up about a pound and half from my pre break round low. I was certain that my eating habits over the holidays had gained me an honest pound or two, so where I am now makes perfect sense. I’ve only been fully back on track for a week and I don’t know what I expected. Thank you GrandmaJackie for this challenge it helped me this morning.
01/09 266.6 I was able to add resistance on my bike the other day plus a new workout and I’m still feeling it a bit. I was a little less active yesterday because my legs felt stiff. I’m hopeful of at least getting a bit more walking in today.
01/10 267.4 I went out to dinner with the hubby, it was in calorie but very sodium filled.
01/11 267.6
01/12 266.0 Yay a drop! I thought for sure I’d bounce again; I went a smidge over calories yesterday and didn’t move much. However, I did set my calories back to being sedentary for the time being so maybe that helped some. I knew that I would be out and about less this weekend because of the weather and I have trouble getting in the same step count inside as I do when I can walk outside.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/08--207.0 My stomach did not feel well this morning, and I know I ate something that I am sensitive to. I'm going to drink a lot of water today, and be careful about what I eat today.
01/09--207.0 Stomach feeling better, but still not 100%. I was able to finish another session of YWA last night.
01/10--206.5 Went to the gym this morning. Finished Day 8 of YWA yesterday, it was a relaxing session, which I definitely needed.
01/11--206.3 Relaxing day today and going out to a movie.
01/12--205.6 I did not eat any of my hubby's popcorn during the movie yesterday, and what helped me was that I brought an apple with me to the movie. I didn't eat the apple during the movie, but by bringing the apple it helped me mentally, because it made me question whether I was really hungry before I ate the popcorn, or did I just want to eat the popcorn because it was there. If I told myself that I was really hungry, then I told myself, "well, you have an apple with you, so you can eat it once the movie is over." That self-talk helped me from mindlessly eating the popcorn. Strength coach this morning and then going out for an early dinner.
01/13--206.1 Yesterday, I went out for dinner yesterday, and I chose a great lower calorie meal. I also had a really hard workout with my strength coach yesterday, he changed up my workout for preparation of my Spartan race, and I am so sore this morning. Goal today is water. Ballet class this evening.

R101
56 year old, female, 6' ft
Heaviest W: 400
Current W:. 283.8
Challenge GW:. ( would like to lose 2 or 3 lbs this round)
Day/Weight/Comment:
1/08: 283.8
1/09: 280.6 (this loss is mostly water, been retaining it)
1/10: 280.8 (+.2 oz) ( increase) did some extra walking yesterday. Still having problems with retaining water. Which I'm a little worried might make me show an increase in weight. Which is what happens sometimes, but the water will go away and than show the true weight loss. Might not happen this round. My legs are really swollen.
1/11: 278.6 (-2.2 ) I'm very happy that the water I've been retaining is finally starting to come off.
1/12: 282.8 (+4.2) Yes, I've gained. Doctor put me on a medication and it does cause you to retain water. Untill my body gets used to it and then I'll start losing all the water and keep it off. Wish it would happen sooner than later. 😩
.
1/13: 281.4 (-1.4 lb) loss from last week. Hopefully the water is finally coming off and will continue to and stay off. My goal for this round was 2 to 3 lbs loss. I've lost (-2.4 lbs) from start weight.(mostly water weight) Hoping to lose 1 or 2 lbs of real weight, once water is finished coming off. Hopefully before R101 is over in 4 days.

@tiabirdie56 Tish, I was telling my daughter about my leg pain and she said her husband had the same thing and was told to apply pressure with a tennis ball between him and a wall. I got some tennis balls yesterday and tried sitting on one last night. AMAZING the difference and I dozed watching a movie in the process!8

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
Do you take measurements? I’m terrible at that myself but if you are losing FAT and gaining MUSCLE your weight may not change but your body composition will. A pound is a pound but muscle takes up less space! - Jpv, 11/22/19

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.

01/08 121.5 Late dinner last night, couldn’t go to sleep (drinking a Bang on the drive back from DGD’s basketball game wasn’t a good plan), awake early as DH had to take friends to the airport at 6.
01/09 121.0 Went to the gym yesterday for the first time in a long time (November??) My leg hurts - so mad I forgot to ask the doctor about sciatica-the assistant had made a note but then he and I got into a blood pressure med discussion and I forgot and he didn’t see her note, I guess.

01/13 121.0 BP check at doctor’s office this morning and meeting my friend at the gym this afternoon. BP’s are always good at home, we’ll see how it is at the office. White coat syndrome. Our baby turned 47 today!11 -

Day/Weight/Comment
01/08 81,7 kg Yesterday I wasn't really into food, ate anyway to keep metabolism up and running. I think I have never been glad in my life before when I had not to eat anymore;)
01/09 81,9 kg went for a walk, calories were good and managed to fast 24hrs in between meals:) TOM soon to be there, I can feel that I have water retentions which will pass in a few days anyway. Today is a regular eating day. It's morning and I have a feeling that I won't be having any problems this time to eat more:-)
01/10 81,9* Food and calories were all good yesterday. Had a trigger directly after the second meal. When it feels like nothing is going to satisfy you..., probably because of hormones. ACV and green tea helped a bit. Only planned on a short walk, maybe 10 minutes and ended up doing 60 minutes:). Don't know if I wish TOM would be there already, then I get rid of the water retentions (well, that's the only pro...). Plan for today: Fast-day, maybe I make it to 24hrs. 5 more hrs to go:)
01/11 80.7 kg Nice! That's about the weight I had before Christmas. Tried MCT oil, only to learn that mine was made from Palm sth and is not good. So back to coconut oil. Why is that, that I mostly end up throwing away the fancy stuff and in the end stick to my natural foods:-)) I never learn. Should stop watching videos of men with big arm muscles and all the fancy products they are promoting...And it didn't make me more awake when I was tired. Taking an iodine pill did the trick much better. tststs...Calories were good, I fasted for 22 hrs. Exercised only a little, was tired. Which was to be expected - hormones (or rather lack of it shortly before TOM).
01/12 80,2 kg Went for a short walk, it was eating-day, was in calories. Two bigger meals were enough. So my next meal will probably tomorrow around 1pm. Noticed that my favourite ring fits comfortly, even after walking when fingers are thicker. Half a month ago it wouldn't fit at all.
01/13 80,2* kg Went for a longer walk and hit last weeks's exercise goal:) fasted for 24 hrs. I like the way that I feel in a fasted state. Everything feels a bit calmer and slower - but in a good way. Today TOM is hitting strong.
