Current weight: 203.0
Goal weight: 140
January goal: 198
10 day goal: Lose 3lbs and keep under sodium macro.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18: 202.0 Weight is off to a good start this round, but my sodium intake was still too high yesterday.
01/19: 201.2 Yes! And I kept under my sodium macro, too!
01/20 200.0
01/21: 200.8 I felt sick all day yesterday because of pms, so I gave into my carb cravings. Honestly, I expected my weight to be much worse. Not that I’m unhappy!
01/22: 201.8 I was very good all day...until my sister and her boyfriend made a surprise visit with CiCi’s pizza and brownies (my favorite poison!). It was worth the price!

R100 1/7/20 -1.7 kg (3.7 lbs)
R101 1/8/20 -2.8 kg (6.2 lbs)

R102 goal: continue the alternate IF/Keto routine

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 79.5 kg Ah well, the round starts with a small gain. Eating was all okay but I didn't drink enough yesterday and was a bit stressed. That's most probably why and it's okay.
01/19 79.5* kg Fasted 21 hrs. In between I got hungry but I managed to keep myself busy and it passed easily. I also started exercising again and expect the scale will move upwards for a bit the next days. But doesn't really matter. I fit in a jeans again that a week ago was too tight even to close. Now it's comfortable. I can feel that my body is changing:-)
01/20 79.3 kg stuck to the keto routine. had to deal with hormonal cravings. Halo top, more nuts and protein helped but only ACV stopped the craving.
01/21 80.1kg Fasted for 22.5 hrs. Stayed under calories, exercised and worked quite a lot. I forgot about drinking enough because of being busy. That's most probably the reason for more weight this morning. From experience the weight goes up in these phases but the body still slims down. Nearly by the day the trousers become more comfortable.

01/22 80.1* kg Still following my IF/keto plan. I like how my energy levels have changed and I feel mentally somehow more confident in general. Installed a fasting app, curious if I like to use it in the future. Decided to weigh in only in 3 days because I feel that I am becoming fixated on the weight and don't like it. Better stop it right at this point. As long as I eat clean, stick to the plan and clothes/ rings are getting wider, there is no reason to be worried about natural fluctuations of water. So I give my mind a break.

Round 102, 19th Round for Me
Starting Weight: 283.2 lbs
Goal Weight: 281.2 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment

01/18: 282.9 lbs (-0.3) ... Down a bit more today. Hopefully I’m done with my eating struggles and can stay on the right path going forward.

01/19: 281.3 lbs (-1.6) … Nice little whoosh there. Let’s see if I can hold onto it! This is my first new low weight since late November.

01/20: 281.3 lbs (no change)

01/21: 282.6 lbs (+1.3) … Up a little. Still on track with my eating plan so it’s just a fluctuation rather than anything to worry about.

01/22: 281.6 lbs (-1.0) … And away most of that fluctuation goes. Much better than I expected, since dinner was a bit carb-heavy (rice) and later than usual.

Round 101 End/Round 102 start weight: 163.6 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 163.6 lbs

01/19 162.2 lbs We were having a blizzard so in order to get my steps in I walked 5 miles in my house with family home, pretty sure they think I am crazy. Not going to kid myself that this is going to stay but hoping this means I am closer to my goal for this month.

01/20 163.4 lbs Hubby wanted breakfast, so I cooked and he wanted me to eat with him, which meant I broke my fast to early in the day and I knew we were going out for pizza and beer with friends in the evening but it was too long of a time to wait between and I ended up snacking and going over my calories. But it was a great day with family and friends and we need those days too, mentally. Still no exercise except snowmobiling but we are suppose to warm up above zero this week, hoping to do some cross country sking.

01/21 165.0 No idea what happened here. around 1200 calorie, made it 10,000 steps, IF from noon to 8pm. I wish I could exercise more. No access to a gym, hoping to ski today because it's too icy to walk.

01/22 162.8 lbs I did try sking but it was windy and raw on the face, snow is not the greatest but made it a mile. Hoping to ski with friends this afternoon, wind should be less.

So ready for Round 102 (my 3rd)

Started MFP 12/27/19 - Heaviest Weight Ever - 186.0
Round 100 -7.6 lbs (actually 12 days - includes the 2 initial days on MFP)
Round 101 -1.9 lbs

Round 102 Starting Weight 1/17: 176.5

1/18 176.0
1/19 176.0
1/20 177.0
1/21 177.0

1/22 175.9 I wrote these goals down yesterday to get back on it and did it! 64 oz of water _Yes_; 4 vegies _YEP_; 2 fruit: _Yes_ (my favorite: frozen blueberries, raspberries and milk in a blender - so good)_; stayed under 1200 calories: _1180_; rowed: _Yes_; turn on favorite songs and dance for 10 mins (because music makes everything better!) _Yep_; began IF before 5PM: _did it!_
I felt like I was slowly losing all the good habits I had created over the past 3 weeks. I can handle my weight fluctuating because that's perfectly normal, as long as I'm doing the right things; however, what got me over the past 3 to 4 days was I could tell I was starting to slip back into my old ways and know from experience this leads to me binging and falling off entirely for weeks, and gaining all my weight back to boot. Not this time, though. I caught myself, learned it's okay if I'm off a few days (it doesn't mean I blew it) and I don't have to be so damn rigid - just get right back to eating healthy and exercising. Goodness, losing weight really is as much about your mental/emotional health as it is physical, isn't it...?! AND working on both is necessary!

Goal for Round 102 - to continue to eat healthy, drink water, no sugar or processed food. IF 4 out of 7 days, Row, lift weights and walk. 174.5 pounds

Tracking my next goal: hit 160's again!!

Round 102 Daily Recap

1/18 176.0 I've lost 10 pounds! What a great way to start this round. It was time for a slight drop so very happy to see it! I had my doubts because I didn't exercise yesterday, or drink enough water and I made english muffin bread and had one slice, which I was still only 1157 calories. The bread only has 63 calories an oz. What I'm most proud of though is the fact I only ate one slice of bread. NEVER in the past would I have had the willpower or control over my cravings to do this, especially in the evenings! Here's to this being a successful round for all of us!

1/19 176.0 I've had a small cold so hadn't exercised for a few days. Rowed 30 mins this morning. Will be shoveling snow later today. Beautiful Sunday morning with the snow untouched yet and deep blue sky. Have a lovely day all!

1/20 177.0 - Yike, that wasn't easy to write.

It just reminds me that I can't get too excited or too low whichever way the scale goes and watch the trend. First time over 1500 calories in 3 weeks on Saturday - 1671 calories, which isn't too bad. Yesterday was 1391 but too many carbs and too much sodium. I've had a cold so didn't exercise Friday and Saturday but did row yesterday and this morning. Have not drank enough water either. So many things to work on over the next eight days of this round! I'm still happy to be out of the 180's FOREVER!!!!

1/21 177.0 Okay, I guess this is the weight I'm going to have to work with

What I did well: Before, I would have been binging and off my 'diet' for weeks by now and especially if my weight went up. The fact I'm still encouraged and sticking to it I am EXTREMELY grateful! I held my calories at 1573 and rowed. I appreciate the small changes that aren't scale related like the fact my clothes fit better.
What I didn't do well: I did not drink water. I ate too many carbs. I made chicken soup for my cold a few days ago and did not have low sodium chicken broth so too much sodium. I haven't done IF for a few days. I haven't had enough vegetables or fruit.
So, I'm throwing down a challenge to myself by writing down all my goals for today on tomorrow's date and I will have to take them off if I don't do them

01/18 264.2 There’s the water bounce dropping, plus a little more. Tom still hasn’t arrived, but at least I’m not holding onto water like the last few times it decided to be late. My goal is to see some new lows this round.

01/19 262.6 When I said yesterday that I wanted to see some new lows this round I wasn’t thinking that I would see them so soon! Though this could in part be to sleeping in an hour later than usual, I’ll be happy if I don’t see a little bounce tomorrow when I weigh at my new usual time. I figured out my eating schedule so that I’m not overly hungry by dinner time and trying not to eat everything in sight. My nsv yesterday was buying some new mean’s sweatpants in large and top in xtra large. The shirt looks a little stuffed sausage on me, but it will soon fit better, and I don’t mind wearing it in the house.

01/20 262.4 I weighed at my usual time this morning and I’m just happy there wasn’t a bounce up from the different weigh in times.

01/21 260.8 This whoosh is brought to me by another later weigh in. I was very tired when I got up this morning, so I went back down for a short bit. I am so glad I did because I feel 100 times better and have energy which has been missing lately. Plus it brought me this nice whoosh down.

01/22 261.0 The small bounce is okay, I was a little high on sodium yesterday. I’ve already hit my goal for the month and anything more is happy extra toward my goal for the year.

Round 102 – Round 2 for me

Original starting weight: 155lb
EW for round 101: 127lb

Ultimate goal weight: 124lb (maintenance is 123-126)
Goal weight for this round: 125.4

1/18 126.4 Good start to the challenge

1/19 126.8 Expected that bump, enjoyed Chipotle for lunch.. stayed under my calorie goal, but still a large meal than I typically have.

1/20 DNW

1/21 127.4 I know I sound like a cliché.. but I really don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I have truly been at my goal (honestly, I’m usually under my goal each day) and have gotten a work out in each day, and I’m still have such a hard time losing. This isn’t my first rodeo, so I know how to do it.. I’m not sure why I’m struggling so much this time. It might be because it’s only a few pounds to lose, could be just natural fluctuations, could be this horrid cold I have. I don’t know. But it is so frustrating.

1/22 126.6 Here we go back down… hopefully it will stick this time and continue downward. This cold is still kicking my butt, taking it easy but still trying to get some form of exercise in each day.

@fmfdfa2020
Well said! I totally agree - its equally emotional, mental and physical. So easy to make a poor choice and then decide to just give up and go crazy. And then spend the next few days regretting said choice, a downward spiral. Maybe the key is to sit back, think about why and give your self some self love and compassion. Then put on the running shoes and get back in the game.

I am blown away by everyone here and their efforts. And especially those that have so many rounds in. So impressed. It's motivating for sure

1/18/20 - 177.6
Calories were fine yesterday, but I had lunch out with a friend and I’m sure I got a big sodium blast. This evening we’re going to a tiny pitch in, but I’ll aim for healthy. I’ll have to sample desserts so I don’t insult anyone, but will keep it small. Happy Saturday, all!

1/19/20 - 177.4
It is COLD this morning — 7F, feels like -11. Whee! Wishing you all a comfy, safe Sunday. ❄️🌬☃️

Aaack. I thought I was gaining control and then had ice cream last night. Oh, well, today’s another day and another fresh start.

1/22/20 -178.2
Oh, come on. I was fine on calories yesterday. Maybe it’s the ice cream from Monday. Whatever.

Round 101 EW - 172.8

1/18 - 172.4
1/19 - 171.8
1/20 - 172.0 Great weekend. Ate sensibly. Going to keep it going at work this week.
1/21 - 171.8 Monday was good. Found some dark chocolate covered almonds on the clearance shelf. Just a couple of these delicious morsels make the best reward at the end of the day. (Hard to eat just 2 but there are only 12 so I'm going to try to make them last - my challenge for the week).
1/22 - 171.0 This round is going great. I think I've found a plan that will work. I'm eating mostly the same meals every day which makes it soooo much easier for me. No decisions. Eating a lot of eggs (love eggs) cooked every which way with different bits of meat/veggies thrown in. No cholesterol problems so not worried about that. Throw in a good salad with lots of good veggies. A small piece of chocolate and ta-da the weight is coming off. Oh yes, also lots of water! (There are other foods involved but not on a regular basis.)

Well said! I totally agree - its equally emotional, mental and physical. So easy to make a poor choice and then decide to just give up and go crazy. And then spend the next few days regretting said choice, a downward spiral. Maybe the key is to sit back, think about why and give your self some self love and compassion. Then put on the running shoes and get back in the game.

I am blown away by everyone here and their efforts. And especially those that have so many rounds in. So impressed. It's motivating for sure

Thank you @bearly63 I love everything you said but especially this: "...Maybe the key is to sit back, think about why and give your self some self love and compassion. Then put on the running shoes and get back in the game."

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18--205.0 I barely drank any water yesterday. My upper back is still sore from yesterday, but I did take some pain meds and used a heating pad last night and it definitely helped. Hubby and I are going to paint the laundry room/storage room this weekend. I'm going to try and go out for a walk today, but it's supposed to be raining all day so who knows.
01/19--204.8 Upper back feeling better. Hubby finished 1/2 of the painting, and I will do some more painting today. Strength coach today.
01/20--204.5 I had a dexa scan on Friday and frustratingly, my body fat % hardly changed from my last scan. While, I did lose a good % of body fat, because I also lost lean muscle mass, my body fat % basically stayed the same from my last scan. I talked to my strength coach yesterday about the results, and it was clear that I'm not eating enough protein. So, my first goal is to get my protein amount to 100g per day, I need to eat more than 100g, but it's a start.
01/21--204.5 106g of protein yesterday. It took a bit of maneuvering to make sure that I got in my protein, which included a late evening snack of roasted chicken, but I got my protein in. Rest day today.
01/22--204.3 105g of protein yesterday. It was a little easier to get my protein in as I was a little better at planning it out. But it was more difficult in that the increased protein made me feel fuller throughout the day, such that by lunch time I didn't want to eat anymore, even though I hadn't eaten enough calories for the day, and I still needed to eat more protein to reach my protein goal. I know it will take my body a little while to get used to the increase in protein, so I just need to stick to it. Strength coach today.

@zrrooo The Senza app has fasting as one of it’s parts. Calculates and tracks calories and macros, allows you to build your own recipes, tracks ketones and blood glucose ( if you test for those) and calculates GKI an indicator for metabolic health.

@dawnbgethealthy Seems MFP’s assessment is a bit off if you are tracking accurately. Perhaps just a demonstration that counting calories doesn’t work - it matters what those calories come from. This is not a criticism of you but of CICO and perhaps MFP’s misleading information.

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.

*****
01/18 121.0 Got up late.
01/19. 122.0 Was in an all day sewing class yesterday. We had a buffet of deli meat and cheese. I keto-ed the best I could with the selection available and suspect this might be water. Didn’t drink enough water. My back was killing me when I got home but feels better now. No worries about the blip.
01/20 120.5 Meeting DD#2 and her husband for her late birthday lunch. Great Greek - YUM!
01/21 121.5 I haven’t been tracking food for a week, haven’t been to the gym since 1/13 and may have slacked off in water. I need to get my act together and not be complacent. I have failed too many times in the past! I have 1/2 of my Greek Salad left from yesterday.
01/22 122.5 Ate way too many carbs yesterday. I ate a snack at 9pm and went to bed - pork rind nachos so it was keto but I could not keep my eyes open and was falling asleep in my chair so went to bed at 9:40 and slept until 6AM! Meeting Amy at the gym today.

@shunggie - I was the same, was quite controlled over Christmas and then soon after January hit I went beserk! I looked back at the previous 2 years and I did the same then; talk about history repeating itself!! Don't know why I do it, at least I'm pleased to be back in control now. Hope you find your way again really soon, I know I feel better for it and I am sure you will, you have done so well so far and life is full of these obstacles that need overcoming. Hugs to you x

@deepwoodslady - is it worth planning to keep some calories/carbs in hand to use on your late night snack?

@musicsax I always plan late night snacks because I stay up so late, but they are low carb or high fat to keep me satiated. Your idea is a very good one and I will have to figure out how to ultimately get to the point where I can stay below 20 or 30 grams of carbs but still have enough for nighttime as my body re-adjusts. In the meantime, I am saving some carbs for nighttime and its working well. My "episodes" are diminishing. Thanks for your idea.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/17 …..189.9….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/18 …..189.9 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1423 Calories In / 2984 Calories Out. 42 Net Carbs. 21,302 Total Steps & 9.01 Total Miles. 10/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 1 minutes but it was very broken sleep. I walked for 2 hours & 7 minutes at the school burning 969 calories walking very briskly and I walked on my property for a short 12 minute walk at about 3.0 mph burning another 72 calories. Total extra burn 1041. Good luck everyone! Let’s make this one really count!

01/19 …..189.7 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1716 Calories In / 2125 Calories Out. 84 Net Carbs. 8,197 Total Steps & 3.47 Total Miles related to working. 12/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 4 hours & 3 minutes but I needed so much more. I walked steady for 15 minutes at 2.5 mph burning 65 calories which didn’t help my situation

01/20 …..189.7 ….. First a report on my son who is an adult autistic beautiful boy. First official weekly weigh-in this morning showed a 5.8 pound loss for him Yesterday’s stats: 1838 Calories In / 2436 Calories Out. 76 Carbs. 12,232 Total Steps & 5.18 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 6 minutes and woke up very tired. The school is not open to walk on Sat/Sun and the weather hit 11 degrees below zero by dark. Too cold & icy to walk outside yesterday. I cleaned cabins for a couple of hours. Fitbit saw it as 27 minutes of activity so that’s what I record. I am learning so much from you all. Thanks to everyone for your comments & your sharing. A special thanks to Tish.

01/21 …..189.6 ….. A little up on calories but my carbs were within acceptable levels with my current plan of readjustment. A nice good long exercise walk yesterday at the school to help get the scale to move. Yesterday’s stats: 1808 Calories In / 2861 Calories Out. 48 Net Carbs. 21,306 Total Steps & 9.02 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 31 minutes falling asleep earlier last night. I woke up much better rested. I walked at the school at about 3.5 mph average for 116 minutes burning 711 Extra calories. I also cleaned 2 cabins with light to moderate effort along with other duties. I felt pretty good yesterday. My meals and days have been on point, but my night time snacking is putting me a bit higher than desired. I think I am still in fear of the sugar drops as this is when it always occurs – at night. I am making moderate choices and feeling good. I will continue to work toward my ultimate macro goal.

01/22 …..189.6 ….. A small glucose episode last night put me slightly over carb but I was still under calorie goal. I DO NOT WANT THE DOCTOR TO PUT ME BACK ON THE PILLS SHE TOOK ME OFF OF. I still take 2500 mg of Metformin for T2 Diabetes, but dropped 4 other pills after starting Keto originally. I can’t believe I let an extended holiday period of time take me this far back into bad health!!! I continue to slowly work on this. I know it can be done, I managed it when I first started my weight loss journey. I also realized last night that I have been doing a lot of walking during the week which is exactly what you do to help LOWER your blood sugars. So this may also be affecting the severe night lows (after the evening walks). As suggested by @musicsax I will probably try to reserve more carbs for nighttime, after the exercise day is over. I have been using up most of them before the walk because of having some weakness and dizzy spells during the walks if I haven’t eaten enough of them. Balancing it out is proving tough, but the formula is in there somewhere and I will find it. At some point, my body will re-adjust to it all and it won’t be as difficult – The incidences will greatly decrease. Every pound I can drop will also help as the overall glucose is (then) improved. It’s like a science equation really. Yesterday’s stats: 1545 Calories In / 2953 Calories Out. 62 Net Carbs. 20,652 Total Steps & 8.74 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 47 minutes and it felt good. I walked for 14 minutes at home at about 3.0 mph burning 72 cals. I walked at the school for 113 minutes at 4.0 mph burning 775 cals, and I danced for 18 minutes burning 144 cals. Sample song: “Pontoon” by Little Big Town. Total extra calorie burn 991. I have many projects that are behind at home. I haven’t decided yet whether to drop the school walk for the day, rest the body a little bit and get some work at home done. We’ll see how I feel later. The walking is very habitual and addictive. It’s hard to say “no” to.

1/21 161.7 0 miles Very frustrated with weight and food and all of it. The same thing happened in January last year. I just lost my way after doing well over the holiday. I've not been eating great though I'm still walking as much as possible. I'm still tracking but not being 100 honest with it. A lot going on in my life right now - most of it very good but it's an excuse somehow to behave badly. I've been spending too much money and spending too many calories all on junk. If I would just drop the extra water I've been carrying around for almost 2 weeks I'd feel better.

1/22 162.1 3.3 miles I can't seem to avoid sodium. Ate back all my exercise calories yesterday. I got in a little more than three miles. It's snowing/raining/sleeting today so I don't think I'll walk. I don't mind walking in the snow, but the sleet makes it too slick. I'm just going to stick to my plan and what happens happens with weight.. It will come down, I will continue to exercise.
