Day/Weight/Comment
6/06 - 184
I’m taking a round of cephalexin and feel puffy. Water retention isn’t listed as a side effect, but something is causing this. Phooey. Anyway, I’m off for a walk on the rivergreenway and have an afternoon of garden work planned. One of these days I’ll have a breakthrough. I’m a bit depressed and disgusted with myself about this and the news. Maybe the river and trees will help. Have a good Saturday.
6/07 - 185
Seriously waterlogged. Calories were fine, though, so I know it’s just water. It’s a gorgeous day here so I’m off to walk along the river again. Increasing daily distance to get back to my old 5-10 miles/day.
6/08 - 183.2
Okay, finished the antibiotics and I feel less bloated. All good.
6/09 - 183.2
Calories low yesterday. I baked a cake and brownies to give away and didn’t sample at all — yay me! It’s supposed to get hot this afternoon, so I’m off for a walk on the rivergreenway and then picking up mulch to finish my new beds. Also plotting another....Left to my own devices, the whole backyard would be flower and herb beds with a few veggies here and there.

You're so good! I would have licked the bowls and sampled the batter! Lol. Enjoy your walk, it sounds like it'll be lovely along a river
Me too!! I'm also a sample the batter and then scrape out the bowl person!! That's the tastiest part!!2 -

Seem to be at a bit of a plateau. I need to keep focussed, not get despondent and hope for a drop soon.

I don't understand it. I've been good and yet the scales are not shifting. If I don't see a downward whoosh soon I'll need to rethink my strategy.

06/06: 152.6 - Got a new phone, do feel behind on posting. Mexican food, ice cream, peanut butter & jam with a spoon. Clearly out of control. Fitbit says 4,891 (2.41 miles).
06/07: DNW - Started out well, until roommate smiled and said she'd brought me more ice-cream. Fought the thought for a hour until I caved. Phenomenon of craving is in full swing. Praying for willingness.
06/08: DNW - Let go of the idea that I can rely on my will power. And go figure, cravings left me! I'll forget again soon enough, but with y'all's help, I'm remembering quicker. Fitbit says 9,194 steps (4.01 miles).
06/09: 151.8 - Another good day. Mind not as troubled as last week. Still staying too busy, but eating, sleeping, chilling, enjoying better. And waddaya know... resting heart rate starting to slowly go down again at a steady 67 instead of the jump to 69/70. Usual is in the low 60s. I feel this marker tells the full story. Fitbit says 3,559 steps (1.55 miles). K, it was raining all day, but that's still just a excuse.

06/06 - 231 - nice start. Cheat meal tonight I literally cant wait. Also started walking the stairs at work, it's over 200 steps so a bit of additional exercise, it sure makes me sweat lol
06/07 - 233 - well theres cheat meal showing but I enjoyed my takeaway so now back on for a good result by the end of the round
06/08 - 231.75 - I'm happy with that. TOM due so a bit of bloating. Ready for a good week ahead. Let's do this
06/09 - 231.75 - no change. I am disappointed with this but I really shouldn't be because yesterday wasn't the best of days I did slip up and have too many treats so really this ok
06/10 - 231.5 - well at least it was the slightest of movements lol. Keeping my head up and keeping going. I will make it a loss by the end of the round lol

Well .... at least I know my scales aren’t broken.... hormones this time, I think and a massive lack of water 💦 ... getting back on it today....
06/08 215.75
It's heading in the right direction! Hitting the H2O big style and continuing the intermittent fasting. Seem to be naturally working my way up from 16:8 to 18:6. Again I can see body composition changes instead of scale changes.... hoping the scale will kick in properly soon. It's all a learning curve
06/09 214.25
Take that scales! 🥳 Finally!! The last couple of days I've been tweaking the carbs, keeping to about 70-80g carbs and lots of fibre with as much water as I can guzzle without going sploosh.
Interestingly, I've also tried to up my calorie intake as well. With IF, I have struggled to get above 1100 cals in a 2 meals with optional snack. So I've started trying to hit a minimum of 1200 more often.
I've also started breaking my fast with a vegan based protein shake with some added bits and bobs, followed by a solid meal. I've upped my steps and started doing more stretching to loosen up the joints and muscles.
I guess I'm throwing everything at it to try and get the scales to budge, so now I'll just track these for a bit to see if the downward trend continues.....
06/10 213.5
Super happy to be consolidating the drop and hopefully seeing some momentum . Yesterday I actually struggled to keep to my cals, but I walked more to compensate. Then I tried a new ab workout on YouTube and every other move made me issue a bunch of expletives no one needs to hear! Safe to say, I'm glad I tried, but it just wasn't my thing. I have found some alternatives though, so all is not lost. But wow my abs are weak right now. Looking forward to making them stronger and hopefully improving my posture at the same time!

I almost didn’t even bother posting today because I’m so fed up with seeing the same damn number on the scale. I’m not really understanding why my weight loss looks so different this time around and it’s really frustrating. It’s just hard to keep going when I don’t even see the tiniest drop.
Hang in there @Shortgirlrunning ! You got this....
I was stuck at the same number for a couple of weeks it felt like. Maybe your body is just changing in composition right now? Keep going 5 -

06/06 - 146.5 - We had a small family get together last night on our patio for my husband's birthday. We had Mexican food and watermelon margaritas. I expect it to really catch up with me tomorrow, but it was worth it. I'll just have to be really mindful for the remainder of this round.

06/07 182.4 Whoohoo! A big whoosh down. Won’t count on keeping all of it, part of it is stomach upset yesterday having me eat less, but gratifying to see. Because this has worked so far, I bit the bullet and established my next mini-goal. Really debated on how large or small to set it; decided on a number that represents my weight when I first met my husband 12 years ago. Wish me luck!
06/08 184.0 I didn’t expect to keep all that whoosh, but no good reason to pop up so high. Was green on calories, lots of activity. Maybe dinner was higher sodium than I thought. But I finished the weekend below 185!
06/09 183.2 I’ll take it. Stayed green, got 2 walks in as well as strength training.
06/10 182.4 I’ve been working hard for this, eating green and drinking water. Happy to see this number again and a Happy Scale average of under 183.

6/7- DNW
6/8- 153.4 I did a huge 9 mile hike with 5000' of elevation gain in the smokies this saturday, but I ate like a pig all weekend. Just going to track carefully until it comes back off. Plan on drinking a ton today.
6/9- 154 Sigh. Really? I've seen this before after a super busy weekend. Being patient. Off to track.
6/10- 153.6 It would be nice if it dropped off a bit quicker, but I know how this goes. This is a lifestyle. Repeating this mantra to myself.9 -
5' 7". UGW 150#
Learned a lot about my weight tendencies during my first challenge 10 days ago. This will be my last challenge before vacation so I'm going big. Goal is to lose at least 5# by increasing exercise and maintaining MFP goal calories. I actually think I can lose more as the last two days of the last challenge served me up a couple pounds back, but who needs that kind of pressure!?
SW: 178.6
6/6-176.8 up for 24 hours with a family medical emergency that had a happy enough ending for my sweet momma. Not the way to lose water weight!
6/7-176.4 I don't know how, but I will accept those lost bonus ounces. Slept till noon; made poor food choices [yet stayed within MFP goal]; somehow walked 10,000 steps, only 1 mile intentionally.
6/8- 176.3 Walked...a LOT. Gardened a bit.
6/9- 176 My digital scale had a "twitch" between this weight, and 175.9. Hoping to have a "5" tomorrow!
6/10-174.3 I'm ok skipping the "5".
Took a day off of IF 11-7 eating window. Ate bigger earlier in the day and took advantage of the pause in the day of rain to walk, walk, walk...

Day/Weight/Comment
06/06 158.4 lbs Had a couple beers and some chips around the campfire, really put me over.
06/07 157.0lbs, rained not much exercise, practiced free motion quilting
06/08 158.8 lbs, farmers had to stop seeding for the rain, so the neighborhood crew got together like we did last winter for pizza and beer on Sunday evenings, so gain is expected.
06/09 156.2 lbs, Graduation this Saturday finally, so doing some staging and decorating. Expecting 30 mph sustained wind that day from the only direction my yard doesn't have many trees. But hoping we can mostly stay outside. I have a lot of last minute clean up out there due to living by a wild life refuge, we have lots of birds in our trees and they leave there presents everywhere, especially anywhere the dog is.
06/10 157. 6 lbs I didn't think that dramatic loss would stay. I should probably rethink my goal for this round because after all this house cleaning and food prep for graduation, I am taking a day off of the diet and sampling.

About me: I love learning about food and everything about it; from the way it acts in the body to learning to cook a new recipe. I went to school for nutrition (got my bachelor's) but I didn’t become an RD because it didn’t feel like the path for me. I guess I wanted to keep it as more of an interest instead of a career. I then went into public health to further my education and I currently help medically complex patients by connecting them with community resources to improve their health and life. I enjoy helping family and friends when they ask for advice related to food and nutrition. Plus, it helps me brush up on what I spent so much time learning!
I’m here because when I’m not paying attention to what I eat, I start to gain and feel uncomfortable in my body. For me that results in frustration and a lot of other emotions. It has also increased my cholesterol in the past (It’s good now as far as I know thanks to diet and exercise). I have a family history of diabetes, heart disease, and all that fun stuff. So, I want to prevent that for myself by getting a hold of my food habits now.
I’m always open to conversation about food and nutrition, so feel to reach out to me!
06/06 120.0 This makes sense because I did an intense workout yesterday and I have some soreness today. So, it’s just the water retention as my muscles heal.
I just made really yummy summer rolls with brown rice spring roll wrappers, cilantro, leftover ground turkey [seasoned with ginger, garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce and lime juice], yellow bell pepper, shredded cabbage and baby greens. Then, I dipped them in a peanut sauce I made with 1 tbs peanut butter, ½ tbs rice vinegar, 2-3 tsps coconut aminos, 1 tsp toasted sesame oil, dash of garlic powder, ¼ tsp honey and 1 tsp grated ginger (I used the frozen ginger cubes). I could legit just eat the sauce and be a happy camper but mixed with the summer rolls it was really good too.
I plan on having a bit of a rest day for my Saturday and just enjoy lounging around. I’ll eventually do some chores, but we’ll see how I feel about that. Happy weekend all!
06/07 119.2 Yesterday was a wonderful lazy day where I was able to stay on point with food as well. I lounged around but also created an Excel database of all the recipes I want to cook from my cookbooks. I’m trying to prepare for the Fruit and Veggie CSA that starts on Monday for us. I want to make sure nothing is wasted, so I wanted to have a source of all the recipes I’ve been wanting to make for a while. I’m very excited about the document and hope it helps me meal plan all this produce we’ll be getting.
My plan for today is to make a batch of raspberry beet baked oatmeal to use up some milk we have in the fridge. I haven’t tried this recipe yet, so it’ll be interesting to see how it comes out. Then, I’ll be able to have it for my breakfasts this week too.
Also, I had a non-scale victory of realizing how much my body has changed over the past few months when looking at before and after pictures. I’m down 7 pounds and I’m really starting to feel awesome about the progress I’ve made so far. My muscles are getting stronger and it’s so nice to visibly see the hard work put into the process. On that note, have a beautiful Sunday!
06/08 119.2 Yesterday was a good day food wise and I moved around a bit more doing laundry and chores. I decided to take the weekend off for intentional exercise because I was just feeling a little tired. I feel it’s better to listen to the body than push it and overdo it. This morning I did another solid soccer workout this morning with my father in law.
Today will be a good one food wise because I made that beet raspberry baked oatmeal, so that’ll be my breakfast with a halfish cup of skyrr and some maple syrup drizzled on top. Not sure what dinner will be… most likely something with the fresh produce we’re picking up later today 😊
06/09 119.2 We went for a great 5 mile walk this morning. I also squeezed in a mini body weight workout consisting of push ups and body weight squats. Last night’s dinner was really good. I made a strip steak that my husband and I split because it was 1 pound total. For sides I cooked some baby kale that we had and made some oven fries (using up some potatoes we’ve had for a bit). The CSA pick up was super exciting and I’ll have to find some recipes to use all of the greens we got. We got spinach, Ethiopian kale, sorrel, and baby lettuce. I’ve never cooked with sorrel or Ethiopian kale. The Ethiopian kale has a bit of a mustard/spicier/bitter kick to it. It’ll be fun to see how it comes out. Some other fruits and veggies we got were a cucumber, radishes, potatoes (purple and a white one), cherry tomatoes, strawberries, and apples. Eeeeek I’m so excited about all the produce! 😊
Non scale victory for yesterday was only eating 2/3 of an Everbar (dark chocolately wafer bar) because I felt satisfied and figured I could just save it for tomorrow. By mapping out my dinner calories I knew by eating the bar it was going to be close too, so that was also a motivating factor to stop eating it once I felt satisfied. So it left me with an extra 60 calories in the bank for my dinner.
Not sure what’s on the agenda for dinner tonight but maybe turkey tips?
06/10 119.2 My father in law and I did another killer soccer workout this morning. Lots of sprinting involved and high heart rate levels resulting in an awesome burn and a really good workout for my heart.
I had a half bottle of kombucha yesterday and the caffeine in it messed with my sleep last night, so I’m feeling pretty tired between the workout and funky sleep pattern. We’ll see how productive I am today because of it. Oh well, I’m just glad I had the oomph for the workout 😊.
I ended up making homemade mac and cheese last night for dinner because I had the calories in the bank and my husband just wanted pasta for dinner. It was so good and cheesy. I also put a little Frank’s Buffalo wing sauce on top and that made it even better! Then I rounded it out with a small salad after with some fresh spinach, tomato and cucumber. Tonight will be the turkey tips with BBQ sauce and a side of greens and the purple potatoes from our CSA. Have a good day everyone!

You're so good! I would have licked the bowls and sampled the batter! Lol. Enjoy your walk, it sounds like it'll be lovely along a river
Me too!! I'm also a sample the batter and then scrape out the bowl person!! That's the tastiest part!!
It really is the best part! I'd much rather eat cookie dough vs a baked cookie when given the opportunity 3 -

06/08 - 231: Things have been stagnant over the last few days, but at least I'm not headed upwards. Goal for today is to closely monitor food intake. I doubt exercise will be an option as I have a crazy full day of work and meetings ahead.

Female 56
Round 115 SW 199.6 EW 192
Went off the wagon over quarenteen, but started logging again during round 115. My goal this round is to get back in the 180's. No alcohol this month and at least 20,000 steps a day!!
Day/Weight/Comment
06/06 191.6 Walked 20,000 steps yesterday. Stuck to food plan. Ate 2 meals between 12:00 and 7:00. No snacking!
06/07 191.2 Walked 25,000 steps yesterday. Stuck to food plan. I woke up early today so I can walk before it gets too hot. Plan on another 25,000 steps today and continuing 2 meals of salad greens with protien,and healthy fats, no alcohol and eating window between noon and 7 pm. Lots of water!! It feels good to be back in control.
06/08 191.6 Walked 21,000 steps yesterday and stuck to plan. I think this uptick is my body adjusting to the large weight loss last week. I'm going to just keep on keeping on. It's suppposed to storm today and tomorrow, so I will be doing more weight work the next few days.
06/09 191.8 Grr.... I walked for 1.5 hours straight briskly in the morning and painted a closet the rest of the day. I had 2 meals a day consisting of greens with protien and healthy fats. No snacking, no alcohol. My whole body is sore, so I am hoping that my muscles are retaining some water and I will see a drop tomorrow. I plan on drinking a ton of water today. Walked more than 20,000 steps yesterday.
06/10 191.4 Trying not to get discouraged, because I am working so hard, and not seeing results on the scale. I can tell that my stomach is flatter and my body is firmer from all of the exercise. Hoping to get a whoosh before the end of this round. Yesterday I walked 17,000 steps and ate within plan.
