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

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.

1/28 122.0 I’ve caught up with posts so will get dressed and go to the gym with DH. No excuses!
%%%%%%
Haha, I was ready and waiting for him to get up and he slept until 11! When he got up he went to lunch with our blind friend so I went to the gym and ran errands!
1/29 121.0
1/30 122.5 Very short night. Less than 4 hours sleep. Really bad choice for dinner last night -Popeye’s chicken. And no TMI x2
1/31 121.0 * Note to self - skip Popeye’s chicken in the future! Yesterday did some food prep for the freezer- fathead pizza crusts and chaffles, started digging out the sewing table. It’s been quite a while since it was cleared off. Still lots to do but I need to get ready for the All Day Sew tomorrow and really don’t want to have to haul a truck load of stuff to have what I need!
2/1 121.0 I have a carefully planned food day to go with my all day sew. I woke up with a touch of vertigo. ARRRGGHHH! Happy February everyone!
2/2 121.0 So pleased with myself for walking past a table covered with sugary stuff ALL DAY at Sew Day. I ate only the food I took and had pre-logged. I got 133% of my steps for the day and drank 3 liters of water and ?? cups of coffee. By 5 pm my back was done but we were there until 9:15 - the disadvantage of not driving myself. Today we’re meeting friends at Sam’s Town for brunch buffet at 11 and I will have champagne. NO Super Bowl!!!
2/3 121.0 Had TOOO MUCH CHAMPAGNE yesterday but it did give me a GREAT nap!

Round 103 - Jan.28 to Feb.6
Female, 5’, 66 years. SW – 165, GW – 163 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.) The 12 hr. IF along with everything else (portion control, watching calories in foods, exercise) seems to be working well for me.
This round I’m keeping on with IF and want to add getting to the gym 3x a week. I also want to better plan out my gym times. Right now I tend to get into it and spend about 1 ½ hrs. there and unconsciously I think that makes me put it off. If I can make it a real habit, even if it’s only 1 hr., in the end I’m ahead.
Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 – 165 – Good day at the gym yesterday. Guess that balanced the evening snack after practice.
01/29 – 165.6 – IF last night though I sure didn’t feel like it. I suppose that is the result of giving in on Monday. Off to the gym today.
01/30
01/31 – 164.6
02/01 – 164.8 – Made it to the gym yesterday. Snack last night so no IF.
02/02 – 164.8
02/03 – 165 – Lazy day but did remember to quit eating at 7:05. Sunday evenings are really random, often snacks all evening rather than a proper meal so the calories can easily get out of hand. Off to the gym today.

Round 101: Jan 08 - Jan 17 EW: 207.2 (-1.2)
Round 102: Jan 18 - Jan 27 EW: 205.8 (-1.4)

1/28/20 - 206.0—another gain. 😡Happy Birthday to me. Can’t wait for my body to get back to that losing streak. Or even just to the weight I was at the bottom of the streak. One day of hedonism and 3 days of gains. 😢
1/29/20 - 205.0— there it is! 😊 not yet back to Saturday’s number, but headed back in the right direction. Not having that piece of cake at work must have helped! Non-scale victory: saw a sub 8min time on one of my sprints today!
1/30/20 - 202.6 —not for the right reason! Was up half the night with food poisoning 🤮 Needless to say have eaten very little and very carefully so far today, and have not tried exercise yet...
1/31/20 - 202.6 — expected a rise because I was able to hydrate by I guess I didn’t eat enough yesterday to affect the number. No morning exercise today either...stomach seems to be recovering but still very tired and headachy. Hope this is over by tonight!
2/1/20 -- 203.6 — there it is. That’s what I weigh with food in my stomach. Got to eat pretty normally yesterday. And proud I continued to track no matter what. Stomach is still unhappy today but getting back on track. Looking forward to some exercise today.
2/2/20 - 203.6 — I’m content with this. Exercised, ate smart when out to dinner with family. Holding on to most of the loss from being ill is ok with me!
2/3/20 - 203.8 --I'm averaging before and after my run this morning. I think this is relatively accurate. Wish I was seeing another loss, but body-wise I don't feel like I've lost in the past 2 days. Non scale victory--my size 18 dressy work pants are falling off me today!

Age: 46
Starting weight January 2019: 150 lbs
Current weight: 130.0
Original goal weight: 130 lbs (hit this January 11, 2020)

Goal this round: maintain weight (or lose a little), work out 4 times a week, do elbow physical therapy every day, try to play pickleball again... haven't played since January 4th.

I'm trying a new thing - only weighing in once a week or less and focusing instead on staying under my calorie goals, being active and eating enough protein. Will see how this affects my mood and performance.

Day/Weight/Comment:

01/28: Nailed my protein goal yesterday (95 grams), ate below calories and had a short but excellent upper body workout. Another really great workout this morning - a new to me lower strength day that kicked my butt and I had time for 25 minutes of cardio on top of it. Followed with a high protein smoothie, great start to the day and challenge for me.

01/29: Another great protein day (over 100 grams), also ate below calories and added some ab work at the end of the day when I did my elbow p/t. Hard to not get on the scale, waiting for the obsession to ease up a bit. Today is a rest day - which I will spend cleaning the house

.

01/30: 95 grams protein yesterday and well under my calorie goal. I was so crazy sore yesterday from both the Monday and tuesday workout but felt great in the gym this morning. Tried a Pickleball game, nope, elbow is not ready. But I’m going to find a poor unsuspecting soul who will do drills with me left handed.

01/31: day 4 of not weighing in, I don’t like it at all. Told myself I’d wait til Monday, really going to try to stick to that. Over 100 grams protein yesterday, under calorie goal, great workout. Great workout this morning followed by hitting the Pickleball against the practice wall with my left hand for a while. Will continue that after workouts for a few days. I’m really sore from this week in the gym, pushed myself a lot. Looking forward to recovering over the weekend.

02/01: busy day, had guests over all day and we grazed in the kitchen the whole time. I tried to make good choices but it was a big change from always being aware of what I'm eating and logging it right away. Back on track tomorrow. Had to add a protein smoothie at the end of the day to get to my protein goal.

02/02: Another rest day for me, my body is happy for it and I'm already looking forward to working out again tomorrow. Grocery shopping/meal planning day. Planning to go for a brisk walk later.

02/03: Really had to finagle at the end of the day to get my protein macro met. It's hard for me to wrap my head around eating more if I have to to get the protein in. If I'm not going to bed hungry, it feels like I'm overeating.

Hi. My name is Trina.

I'm looking forward to a great 10 days with all of you! I let the holidays get to me in the end and put on a few pounds, which I am working on getting back off. Goal weight is 10 pounds away! I'm excited to reach it sometime this year!!

Day/Weight/Comment:
RSW 137

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 138.5 -- A bit irritated. Yesterday was a good day, so no idea where this came from. Frequently, I guess I have a drop, bounce up and then go down to stay....but this still annoyed me!
01/29 138 -- Wishing it was better than this! Good day yesterday and I'm sticking to plan!
01/30 138 -- At least it isn't going up. Feeling a bit low energy yesterday and today.
01/31 137.5 -- I was really hoping the holiday weight gain would just come right back off. Sadly, it seems it wants to be a bit more stubborn than that. On the other hand, I'm only 5 pounds up since the start of chemotherapy, and the mastectomy before that. And my clothes still fit, and I'm feeling pretty healthy. And those 5 pounds mean I don't have to worry about maintenance for some time still. So I'm settling back into the it's a journey, not a destination. Glad to be on this journey with all of you!
02/01 138.5 -- Clearly I offended the scale and it is taking it out on me. It is refusing to reflect my virtue this week.
02/02 140 -- 6 mile fast hilly walk yesterday. It was a definitely a higher carb, higher calorie day, (I was a bit frustrated, plus my son made delicious chocolate chip walnut scones!)
but still within calories. I'm just trying to stick with the program. Presumably results will start happening again at some point.
02/03 140 -- Thought I did better than ok with superbowl yesterday. Clearly I breathed too many snacks.

zrrooo · February 2020

R100 1/7/20 -1.7 kg (3.7 lbs/ 81.7 kg)
R101 1/8/20 -2.8 kg (6.2 lbs/ 78.9 kg)
R102 1/27/20 +0.5 kg (79,4 kg)

R103 goal: continue the alternate IF/Keto routine, weigh-in only Sunday

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 79,2 kg ate a lot and was not satisfied probably because of hormones. But I stuck to keto foods, just ate over calories. which was okay, I am still in a deficit over a few days.
01/29 79,2* k 18 hrs, stuck to the routine. Was for a short while hungry after work at a late hour. It's always the same, I have too much adrenaline after work in my body (I guess) which makes me hungry until I am able to relax. Now it's sort of okay with a bit of mindfulness/ meditation.
01/30 79,2* Had two meals - that seems to be a regular when I have a non-fasting day, haha, and hormones are not interfering. All good. A ring now fits on my right hand. Before it didn't fit at all, then only on the left. Non-scale progress.
01/31 79,2*kg Fasting day, went well. was under calories.
02/01 79,2*kg Had a big ribeye steak and about 100% of calories. Unfortunately late at night I ate a snack - pork rinds - which means that my fast for tomorrow should go to 6:30 pm. Now I am feeling too full from this small snack. Stupid hormones, I wish my body would make up its mind beforehand...
02/02 79,1 kg Ah well, it's the time before TOM, that late snack yesterday night, so probably water retention. Good thing is another jeans fits again - haha, with a small muffin top by the stomach. So my body is changing for the better. Just would be nice to see it on the scales too.
02/03 79.1* kg Fasted for 18.5 hrs and was well under calories AND feeling totally full. Fasting got a bit difficult around lunchtime, so I drove to another town and went for a long walk for distraction. That worked well - and I got some slight exercise in even though it was raining. Win-win.

02/04 79.1* kg ate under my cals. stopped eating at 4pm, so tomorrow starts from 12am if I want to. Oh, and I measured myself after one month doing IF/keto and lost quite a lot: 1cm on the arms and quite evenly 3 cm on the whole upper body. I am at least 1 to 2 sizes down:-) Right now it's the days before TOM, so a bit more water but that will pass soon enough.

update a few hours later: Oh my, suddenly the hormones got the better of me, I was suddenly totally tired without any reason and got a total crave for really anything with milk. I never ever have that. It was strange but I tried to give my body what it needed and bought different options and tried to stay keto/ low carb as much as possible. I got keto icecream, mascarpone for keto tiramisu, and some other milk products to have some variety for that special want. I ate some of that variety following what my body wanted, the rest I will freeze. I don't think that craving will stay on for longer. Hormones...so crazy...
And yeah, I am now over calories for today but still under them on average for the last few days. So everything is still okay and I didn't get triggered with sugar, I am even still in the keto range for today. I am totally satisfied now. No craving anymore. It was kind of fascinating to watch myself/ my body during this strange episode. Somehow obviously there was something in milkproducts what my hormones needed. And I am much more awake again. Something got balanced out. Ah well.

I need to get myself back on track properly! I'm tracking my calories and trying to be more active, so I think this is a good start.

GOALS THIS ROUND
- Lose any amount of weight
- Track calories 7/10 days
- Minimum of 10 mins activity per day
R103 SW 134.3kg

Day | Weight | Change | Comment
01/28 | 134.3kg | No change | Didn't eat properly or move a lot over the long weekend, but at least I avoided the booze, for the most part! Plan for this week is in place, now I just need to stick to it.

01/29 | 134.0kg | -0.3kg | Only did a little bit of walking yesterday, but did eat better overall than I have been. Need to do something about my snacking in the evenings - we tend to eat dinner very late (9-10pm) so I do get hungry in the meantime and will eat anything I can find! I will try to bring dinner earlier, though it's unlikely to be earlier than 8:30pm as the baby goes to bed about 8pm usually so that's realistically when we can cook dinner! I do notice my snacking is better on nights where we have leftovers to eat, as we do eat a lot earlier then. Something to work on, anyway!

01/30 | 134.0kg | No change | Very late dinner (11pm!) as my mum and sister were visiting and time just got away from us. Was not a healthy dinner. Drank a few beers. Very late to bed - 12:30am and had to be up for work at 5:30 am. But it was a fun night and we don't get to do it often, though it's a two-coffee kind of day today!

01/31 | 133.3kg | -0.7kg | I’m not sure what the story is with this whoosh but I hope it sticks around!

02/01 | 133.7kg | +0.4kg | Pretty active day, took my little to the pool with a friend & my sister. Did some of a beginner kickboxing video which got my heart rate way up! And did some yoga which felt great on my hip. Then had a few beers with hubby last night so it was a nice, relaxing evening watching some movies.

02/02 | 133.7kg | No change | Relaxed day at home with the family yesterday. Took a much-needed nap!

02/03 | 133.9kg | +0.2kg | Sodium uptick, I think. Did some more of the kickboxing video and some yoga which was also great (tried a few new poses which were quite challenging for me). Have almost got my office cleared out so I can turn it into a home gym! Yay!

02/04 | 133.7kg | -0.2kg | Had a good day yesterday. Took my little one to the pool for a swim to catch up with a friend, and even convinced hubby to come along. DS loved having Daddy there! I was soooo hungry before dinner and stood in the pantry for a good 5 minutes talking myself out of eating everything in sight. Didn't eat anything! Though I did have ice cream after dinner...

01/30- 156 this is a nice trend, but I'm not sure how sustainable nor authentic it is. I've been tight with calories for sure.
01/31-155 pretty sure I'll be up tomorrow, because we had a work social (I had a chicken wing and a mini bite size sub) and THEN I had a dinner date last night, admittedly it was healthy salmon and rice, but definitely need to watch myself today. Tracking every day and checking in here to keep honest. Eating well/healthy today. Keep going everyone!!!
02/01-
02/02-
02/03-159 Yep. Weekends wreck me. I've got all the excuses. It's harder to log food, I don't have my work schedule to limit my visits to the fridge. I didn't weigh myself. While I'm way more active on the weekends, I don't equally limit food intake. I could have slunk off into the shadows, but I'm making myself post here. Home today with a sick kid. Unusually warm here to so I rode my horse today and yesterday. Dragging the kids out to the playground now.

01/28 - 190.4 not sure why I'm still going up, I ate very well yesterday. Will keep pushing today and hope to see some progress before I leave on my work trip. Scrambling to get lots of stuff ready before the trip!
01/29 - 188.8! So glad to see the scale move down instead of up. I was starting to get worried that my new prescription was responsible for the increase as I've read that can be a side effect, but trying not to get too paranoid and this helps. Continuing to power through work to prepare for my trip and making myself find time for exercise again. I was exercising daily before the holidays and now I've gotten so overwhelmed with work and my 4 hour commute that I stopped. Need to stop making excuses and get my rear back in gear. I think I have finally picked out my wedding dress and now I feel extra motivated to work to look my best in it.
01/30 - 188! Very happy, hope I can maintain this progress through the end of the challenge. Won't be able to weigh on my work trip so I'll just have to aim to maintain through the weekend and try my best while I'm out of town. Nervously preparing for my work trip now, hoping to get lots done before I'm presenting all next week. Sticking loyally to my diet today and trying to get some exercise in. I wanted to yesterday but I had a migraine for most of the day/night. Will do better today!
01/31 - 187.8! Did a good job at eating well today except for at dinner. Gave myself a break because it's our anniversary tonight

Drank more wine than I normally would, but otherwise I ate on plan. Got a lot of exercise today. Very happy day! I'm sure I'll see an up on the scale tomorrow but hopefully I kept it in check enough that it's not that much.
02/01 - 188.2! Not too bad. I'm sad to say that I woke up pretty hungover and definitely didn't make the best food choices today in dealing with that. But also didn't make the worst food choices so hopefully I am near 188 tomorrow. We will see... Getting very nervous to leave on my work trip, lots of stuff that I hoped to have done for it but don't. Hopefully it goes well anyway. Tried to get work done today but it's hard when I feel icky
02/02 - 188! Well, I'm counting this as meeting my goal since I can't weigh for the rest of the work trip. Very pleased with that! Headed out at lunch time today for a loooong flight, should get in around 1 am. Hoping I can make good food choices on the trip so I don't come back much higher the 188
02/03 - traveling Feeling dead tired. Jet lag + getting in super late last night made today veeeeery difficult. Struggled to get any real work done until the afternoon, but otherwise it was a pretty good day. Only real access to food for the week is grab & go type options, having a hard time sticking to my diet but have managed to do so so far! Fingers crossed that I can keep this up.

TerriRichardson112 · February 2020

Looking forward:

February: I need to focus on getting back to where I was pre-Christmas
2020: Goal is to stabilise weight around 145
Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
Cut down on eating between meals

Never give up! Never give in!

2018:
My goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.
2019
I exceeded that and have been below 150 for most of the last 2 months.
In 2018, I put on 10 lbs over the last 2 months of the year.
In 2019, I consistently lost weight since the end of July. I put on about 4lbs over the Christmas break, but was still below my original 2019 goal.
That's a WIN in my book!

2020
I need this more than ever now that I am in maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

172.6 starting weight for round 103

Day/Weight/Comment

01/28 172.6
This year I saw numbers I never believed I'd see again. I'm back below the obesity mark and intend to stay. Ten years ago I promised myself no birthday or gastric bypass "surgiversary" would find me obese again. I'm revising this to overweight.
Only 28lbs separate overweight and obese and 33lbs a solid normal 24 BMI and obese. Going forward overweight per the charts is no longer acceptable to me.It's not about the charts. I experience changes with even small shifts in body fat.
This round I want to reduce blood pressure and heart rate. I'll only achieve this in the 160's and below. I'll lose as much as I can this round. Low carb, fasting, & fat burning exercise will get me there.
01/29. 173.2.
As much as I hate seeing the scale go up I'm comforted with the knowledge that I weighed in with a belly full. When I weigh at my heaviest time of day I've got a built in psychological cushion.
Yesterday and today where planned totally free days. Yay me, I fasted over 18hrs yesterday and maintained calorie control both days. This fasting/ restricted eating protocol helps me with appetite control. It's a big plus that I've come to enjoy it. No hunger and it just feels right. My appetite returns when it's time to eat usually after 16-18hrs.
01/30. 171.6
I'm praying I'll be in the 160's before my next medical in a couple of weeks. Today's eating has been nutritional crap giving me three days of high sodium, sugar & flour.
The sodium is no issue when balanced with sufficient potassium. I'm all good once I'm eating my greens again. Sugar and flour are my personal kryptonite. It's going to take the weekend for me to get these out of my system.
Fingers crossed, the weekend recovery period will win me a pound or two of water weight loss. I'm back on low carb and watching my water intake.
Getting enough is easy for me. My problem is getting too much then needing diuretics. I've been warned but the sipping habit is hard to break. Beverages are a great substitute when I want to nibble.
No time to read this thread over the last few days but I'll catch up this weekend. Wishing you all well and thanks for all of your much needed support.
01/31. 172.2
I've been mis behaving terribly leaving me feeling bloated and cranky. Once again calories low and macros crap. I really have to haul @$$ to drop the water weight over the weekend. My scrambled brain is overwhelmed making food an afterthought. That keeps the calories down but instead I eat what's easy instead of what's good.
02/01. 170.6
I'm seeing light at the end of this tunnel and I'm sure it's not a vehicle about to mow me down. I'll soon be out of the 170's in spite of myself.
It's very early for me to post my day but time is scarce. I'm declaring that I will stick to my plan today. If I do not it makes me a liar. Of course I am a liar but I reserve my lies for when it really counts. 😜
02/02 170.8
Damn that road to hell paved with good intentions! Perhaps I should start with my personal evils so I'll be lead to my personal good. Once again I went with easy over nutrition.
Won't give up can't give up. Calories & fasting periods are under control and I will beat the carb monster too.

02/03. 170.6
Net carbs were awesome yesterday so my high total carbs may be excused given it is mostly fiber. Protein was way down because my calories were low due to a short eating window and a long fasting period. I'm still carrying water weight but if I can stay off of the flour and sugar I'll finally break through to the 160's.
