    @aFit50 Glad to hear you fasting while working out experiences. I've only done this the last two days, so not enough to share my thoughts yet. I usually IF 16:8, but because of my vacation and gym reopening, I lost another hour or so of the eating window as I don't eat after 7 p.m. Next week, I'm back to working from home (WFH) so I'll need to rework my workout schedule again. I'm thinking a fasted 2.5 mile morning walk and the gym in the evening....hmmm, not sure. 🤔🙂

    Hope you see good results! Definitely keep us posted!

    Happy Belated Birthday!!! @Shortgirlrunning

    Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th. ~ Julie Andrews
    R115: 225.9 (+0.5)
    R116: 222.1 (-3.3)
    R117: 218.8 (-3.3)
    R118: ????
    R118 Goals: 9-12K steps daily / strength training 5 days / IF 16:8 4-6 Days / 2-3 meals, no snacks 7 of 10

    06/25: 218.8
    06/26: 218.5 -- set new step record yesterday (17,188 - yeah baby!) but its all hands on deck today. Glued to my desk with no relief in sight! They'll be no avoiding sitting on my tuckas way too much today ....
    06/27: DNW -- (less than 2K steps yesterday!) woke feeling a bit bloated from too much takeout, but the goal is to match or beat my step record today. Already have 9,000 steps in, about to do a TaeBo weighted workout and plan on breaking fast with some salad, scallops and pesto potatoes when I'm done.
    06/28: 216.9 ~ didn't match steps, but was more than 10K so happy about that! Corralled into working additional hours and just want to lounge around like a cat in the sun today. No plans at all.
    06/29: DNW -- (9,327 steps)
    06/30: 216.6 (worked 12 hours; 8,118 steps)

    07/01: 215.0 -- (lost a total of 9.6 lbs and 3.8 inches in June)

    07/02: 215.4 -- totally ok with this, no hugs necessary (9,899 steps and massive calorie burn)

    07/03: 214.7 -- Hopeful, but not realistic I'll hold on to it. They'll be some restraint, but I fully intend to enjoy all opportunities presenting themselves this weekend! No work, worries, counting steps or even thinking about weighing til Sunday. #MentalHealthDays ~~ #80/20Rule ~~ (ended 5,206 steps / 1,371 cals burned / 1,757 consumed)

    OK ~ couldn't keep myself from counting, lol

    07/04: DNW -- ended 8,293 steps / 1,967 calories consumed / 2,545 cals burned (MFP macros in the red, but according to GoogleFit ~ still a good day. no regrets)

    07/05: DNW -- drinking lots of water today to combat all the extra fat, sugar and sodium since Friday. More grilling, fish and chicken frying on the agenda today for the kids ~ but will mix it up with some salad. Will also keep moving, stretching and toning in tiny bursts as much as possible so not worried what the scale says tomorrow.

    Hope you've all had a good weekend! See ya next round.

    7/2 118.5 had a high carb drink yesterday evening. Our OMAD has crept to 5 or later. Today it will be around 3 so I can go meet my gal pals and DH can go to a meeting. Virtual doctor appointment yesterday was great. My cholesterol has AGAIN improved while eating LCHF. We are both slightly anemic from giving blood donation 2 weeks earlier. Who knew it it could take 2-3 MONTHS to get your hemoglobin back up at our age!?! So adding iron to the pill boxes! He also wants me to take gabapentin to see if it helps my leg (sciatica) and that concerns me because it can cause weight gain.


    @quiltingjaine Yikes!!!! I did not know that Gabapentin caused weight gain! I take 300 mg 3 times daily for a total of 900 mg. I take it for restless leg syndrome. I have been on my feet and on the go for so many years straight that my legs don't know how to stop. Without it, I would not even be able to get the 3-4 hours of sleep I get now. It also helps with my occasional diabetic neuropathy. I knew that my cancer pill caused weight gain but I never knew about the Gabapentin! Sometimes it just seems like an uphill battle. All I can do is soldier on!

    Hi @deepwoodslady I have restless leg syndrome periodically but not often enough for meds so this simple trick I've used in the past may not work for you. When I do have it, it's horrible and there is no way to sleep, much less even stay in bed. I read about this technique - I think in Prevention, not sure - but you put your back against the wall squatted down like you are sitting in a chair and you stay there until you can't hold it any longer because your legs are so tired. That's the key, your legs almost burn from holding it. I know it sounds counterintuitive but it works for me every time. I've been up doing it many times at 3AM. Again, with yours being so bad that you needs meds, this may not work for you, but thought I would suggest if it happened to give you any relief.

    Current start weight: 161.0
    Goal weight: 130

    Day/Weight/Comment

    06/30 161.0 I've been eating clean for two days. My biggest challenge is drinking water.

    07/01 160.6 Yesterday I had a rest day at the beach (recovering from 2 consecutive days of cardio sculpt with my personal trainer via zoom). Today I hope to make sure that any weight loss is not due to dehydration and I'll make sure to get some yoga and walking in.

    07/02 160.4 I have a training session with my trainer via zoom today. 4,918 steps

    07/03 160.8 This could be because I drank so much water during my workout. I'm ok with it. I also had to taste the jam I was making. You know. Strawberry jam with Grand Marnier. Only 4,181 steps and a couple of glasses of wine.

    07/04 160.0 Happy Independence Day! I'm surprised by any loss today because yesterday I felt like crap. No alcohol for me today because I have to train tomorrow.

    07/05 161.2 I don't believe this number. Going 500 calories over does not equal 1.2 pounds. What-ever. Strength training session today via zoom. I ordered my NordicTrack s22i because I miss spinning and need the cardio workout. I think it's time to cancel the gym membership. I don't think we're going back any time soon.

    Looking forward to round 119!

    Original start weight: 178 lbs (Oct. 10, 2019)
    Goal this round: loose and stay under 160.0.

    Ultimate goal 145 lbs.

    End of round 117 6/25= 162.0 lbs

    Day/Weight/Comment

    6/26 159.4lbs. Back to counting calories, now just need to start my back exercises again. So much to do outside that I forget.

    6/27 160.8 lbs Unexpected quests in the evening led to campfire, pizza, smores and a few beers. Ugh, way over on calories because I wasn't expecting to even eat in the evening. But a great time. I always thought it was harder to keep weight off in the winter but it is summer for me.

    6/28 158.9 lbs So when I first weighed the scale was actually 20 lbs less, I have an old house and the wooden floor is wavy in spots, goodness get one board over and you loose weight, who needs a diet. LOL Just find the weight you like and weigh there.

    6/29 DNW

    6/30 160.8lbs ugh, I do good all day until evening time, then I crave everything.

    7/1 161.0 lbs not sure for the gain, calories were under but some were from beer with friends again unexpectedly.

    7/2 157.8 lbs Going to town with friends for grocery shopping hoping to hold unto some of this.

    7/3. 157.0 lbs

    7/4 DNW

    7/5 157.8 lbs Not to bad for it being the fourth yesterday.

    Loss of 4.2 lbs for the round and am below 160. Hoping to stay there all next round.

It also helps with my occasional diabetic neuropathy. I knew that my cancer pill caused weight gain but I never knew about the Gabapentin! Sometimes it just seems like an uphill battle. All I can do is soldier on!

    Hi @deepwoodslady I have restless leg syndrome periodically but not often enough for meds so this simple trick I've used in the past may not work for you. When I do have it, it's horrible and there is no way to sleep, much less even stay in bed. I read about this technique - I think in Prevention, not sure - but you put your back against the wall squatted down like you are sitting in a chair and you stay there until you can't hold it any longer because your legs are so tired. That's the key, your legs almost burn from holding it. I know it sounds counterintuitive but it works for me every time. I've been up doing it many times at 3AM. Again, with yours being so bad that you needs meds, this may not work for you, but thought I would suggest if it happened to give you any relief.

    I’ve struggled with this too, yet not enough for meds. Maybe not even as much as y’all do. But a hot bath has always helped me. I’ve gotten up many times in the middle of the night to go draw hot bath water. Really helps me. Also, I pull my toes as far toward my knees as I can and hold it as long as I can. My “jitters” are in my calf. Don’t know if that’s true of everyone who gets it.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    06/25 …..208.5….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
    06/26 …..208.5 ….. Good luck this round everyone! I am hoping to make a bigger difference on the scale this time. A whole pound (or more) would be nice!

    06/27 …..208.5 ….. Making decent choices but not logging like I should. Still no sleep or downtime. Very tired.

    06/28 …..208.8 ….. I ate the two buns on the hot dogs. Carbs, carbs, carbs.

    06/29 …..208.8 ….. Another L..O..N..G day. Barely getting this documented before midnight!

    06/30 …..207.9 ….. Finally a bit of a dramatic drop on the scale for me. More snacking and grazing than eating yesterday due to time constraints so I hope this sticks!

    07/01 …..207.9 …..

    07/02 …..208.0 ….. Normal fluctuation and readjustment to yesterday’s loss.

    07/03 …..207.9 …..

    07/04 …..207.9 …..

    07/05 …..207.8 ….. My goal is to lose anything possible. My loss is 0.7 lbs so I will take it and strive to do even better next round.

    Looking forward:
    I'm just too danged cussed to let this thing knock me back, and ruin all the effort I have put in to get here. I am stepping up my routine, and taking control. Sheltering in place means I can fully concentrate on getting in my exercise, and preparing healthy food.
    Aims:
    • June: focus on maintaining and increasing my progress
    • 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 by keeping busy
    Never give up! Never give in!
    Back Story:
    2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
    2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
    2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ So far, so good.
    That's a WIN in my book!
    2020
    Focus: 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!

    I'm in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!

    70 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion... :D...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.

    We used to walk 5 miles a day. A pinched nerve and back surgery side-lined me for about a year. Then I had hip surgery March 10th. Recovery is slow. Sure do want to be back doing 5 miles a day!

    The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

    Round 118
    Month/Day: Weight / Comment

    06/26: 212.0 / Same as yesterday. Better than the first day of the last round. One day at a time.
    06/27: 216.4 / a ridiculous nexus of poor choices yesterday and some factors beyond my control this morning. That is why I like to track averages.
    06/28: 213.8 / I love combining my exercise (walking) with something I love. Went fishing yesterday without by boat, “the Kraken.” (I love to release the Kraken. Ha!) Walked my way around a small lake. Caught just enough to keep it interesting. I was scouting it as a possible place to bring my grandson fishing.
    06/29: 211.4 / Lots of walking and I ate pretty well this Saturday and Sunday. Going-away party tonight for some friends leaving the state. I will endeavor to be a good boy. I would love to crack 211 this week.
    06/30: 213.4
    07/01: 210.8 / Crack!
    07/02: 210.4 / Ok. Dare I dream of cracking 210? Probably not with a 3 day weekend coming up.
    07/03: 211.4 /
    07/04: 209.4 / Posting two days at the same time because yesterday was odd. Got up at 4am to go fishing. No breakfast. Out on the lake until 11:30 and stayed well hydrated. I didn’t weigh until 1:30pm. 211.4 thrilled me, because I am always higher in the afternoon. (and I had mistreated some scones the day prior) Light lunch and a huge plate of spaghetti for supper. I thought I would pay for that this morning but I broke 210! Odd. I expect an uptick tomorrow due to some Independence Day unhealthy eating today. Going over to our good friend’s house this evening for a meal. DW making a blueberry pie to take along to celebrate my birthday which will be in a few days. (07/10) I like birthday pie in lieu of the traditional cake.
    07/05: 212 / All a part of my seesaw. But, I lost a whole pound off of my ten-day average.

    SW: 218.4 lb (12/1/19)
    Total weight loss: 27.2 lb

    Round 117 🔻 4.4lbs

    Round 118 (SW 192)
    06/26: 191.2 - I had a decent day yesterday. Had 23k steps and drank a few beers during my 2 sand volleyball games.. could’ve done better but could’ve been a lot worse! Hoping to hit the 180s this round.
    06/27: 191.4- I’m completely fine with that. I try to do maintenance and relax on my diet a bit on the weekends. Didn’t eat the best and had a few drinks but was a good maintenance day!
    06/28: DNW- today is my rest day. I did good yesterday and only ate 1400 calories while burning 1100 through exercise.
    06/29: 192.2 ugh self sabotage.. I did so good on Friday and Saturday. Sunday came along and wine, nachos, wine, cupcakes, wine and more wine... ugh I think Sunday’s are hard for me because I hate going to work on Monday lol. Oh well 1 bad day out of 7 is a win. Back to the grind today.
    06/30: 191.6 - well that’s a start. I’ll probably have a decent drop tomorrow or at least I’m hoping since I had a few pieces of meat topper pizza yesterday and that’s pretty salty.
    07/01: 190.8- sooo close to the 180s!!
    07/02: 190.2 - good day yesterday!
    07/03: DNW- it would’ve been ugly with drinking a lot yesterday and TOM. Today hasn’t been the best either. Hoping for a better day tomorrow.
    07/04: DNW
    07/05: DNW

    I had a terrible weekend and I know I gained a lot - here’s to getting back to it and losing what I gained.
