Round 126
Excited for My Round 4!

Jillian Age 34 and 5'1"

HSW: 179.8
CSW: 169.2
GW: 130
UGW: 116
Mini GW: 158 will get me out of the obesity category and into the overweight category according to the BMI.

RGW: 166

Round 123 (1): 179.8 to 176.4 (-3.4)
Round 124 (2): 176.4 to 170 (-6.4)
Round 125 (3): 170.0 to 169.2 (-0.8)

🏃 09/14: 167.8 Great start! I started my Switch Boxing game last night, and it was fun. Now, I can switch between the different games to keep me happy about getting up to move! I ate an egg and spam sandwich which was pretty tasty. Then, I had spaghetti for dinner which is always very forgiving to me. I forgot how good it is for me to eat when trying to lose weight despite the carbs.
🏃 09/15: 168.8 Some part of me knew yesterdays number wouldn't stick. I ate a can of raviolis and vegetable beef soup for lunch and dinner respectively. I snacked on Harvest Snap peas, which are really yummy. I stayed within my calorie goal and played Just Dance on my Switch. Today is Ring Fit Adventure Day! I may tweak my calorie goal to lower it just a little bit.
🏃 09/16: 168.2 I'm on a rollar coaster of fluctuations this week. I'm okay with this as long as I don't see the 170s anymore! I'm sure I'll make it down, even if it's slower than I'd like. I'm truly in no real rush, but it's tough to remind the competitive part of my brain about that. I didn't play Ring Fit Adventure yesterday, but I'll fit it in today.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/14 141.0 I decided to incorporate my spoiler showing my round history. I finally feel like I've gained momentum in this process. Focusing on *maintenance*, not just the weight loss this time around. But my mini goal is to track my daily goals so I can hopefully get into the 130s again by hitting 139 this round.
09/15 141.8 Slightly up, but only slightly. Hit my goals yesterday and on track for the same today.
09/16 141.2 Hit my goals yesterday. Feeling very sore today and my back is killing me, so I'm going to be doing an arm workout for my 10 minutes today. I skipped dessert because I didn't feel like it, and I have to admit, I was hoping for a lower number today. But it's too early to call this a plateau. This is just the normal slowness of the process. More than anything, I'm waiting for that day when I *feel* lighter. I still feel ick.

Day/Weight/Comment

Round GW - 156

09/14 - 158 - Another day stuck inside because of terrible air quality. I’m exercising each morning using Ring Fit Adventure on the Nintendo Switch, though I wasn’t quite feeling it this morning. Meal prepped lunch and breakfast for the week yesterday, and dinners are all planned, so I just need to stay the course on snacks!

09/15 - 157.5 - I’m debating getting a new scale - ours is old and only can do half pound increments. Afraid it might make me a little too obsessed with the number fluctuations though. Got a good workout in this morning, and hopefully will be able to take the kids out on a walk today.

09/16 - 157 - Got out for a 2.5 mile stroller run/walk this morning. Need to get more sleep at night - I know that can be a factor in weight loss and my little guy wakes up at 5 AM.

@SheilaBoneham Glad to see you trying the lower carb track again. If I remember correctly, you did this about 3 years ago for a little while then did an elimination diet. It DOES work and I’m amazed at how my taste has changed. We eat dinner early also - usually by 4PM - and I seldom desire a evening snack. I know you can do this. A little bit of healthy fat is so satisfying!

@quiltingjaine Yes, I briefly tried very low carbs a couple years ago, but felt terrible. I did the elimination diet due to my PMR diagnosis, but noticed no food links. I’m not trying keto again, just reducing carbs and cutting as much as possible any simple carbs. I’ve always eaten plenty of healthy fats, esp. olive oil, avocados & avocado oil, good quality cheeses, and good (preferably Irish) butter.

@CamandJarvis I cook almost everything with butter, bacon grease or coconut oil. So much better for us than “one molecule from plastic“ margarine or processed not good for you oils. The healthy fats are good for you and keep you satisfied.

My biggest problem is that too much butter really bloats me. I love using bacon grease, olive oil, and coconut oil in recipes when I can during other meals to help lessen the impact of butter.
Problem is that my primary butter intake is at dinnertime so the bloat usually sticks with me into the morning. It certainly is never a huge problem (unlike the 4lb ice cream reaction) so I know I could flatten the belly and lower the scale more but not enough to change things -- especially true knowing that as soon as I break my fast and eat, my stomach expands, as natural for everyone, and the flatter belly doesn't last long.

I wholeheartedly agree on the plastic filler stuff out there - if I'm going to eat it, I want it as natural as possible, especially with things like butter, oils, and seasonings.

A cream tea ( from my understanding anyway!) is a lighter meal with just cookies and/or scones with clotted cream (which is like an amazing butter/cream spread) as opposed to Afternoon tea, which is a full meal with tea and savory sandwiches.

Oh, cream tea sounds like a nice idea! And so does the cranberry, bacon, and brie!

BrownMargaret3021 · September 2020

9/14 159.8 - Got a serious workout in this morning. It was a pilates fusion class. Excited to see my weight tomorrow morning!
9/15 160.4 Water retention from muscle soreness for sure. I have been eating around 1600 calories. It will be interesting to see tomorrow. Sometimes these water gains can last a few days.
9/16...161.4 😕 Not letting it get me down. I know my weight fluctuates wildly ever since I started exercising regularly. I weighed myself earlier than usual. I'm also a few days away from my moon. But I'm going to try drinking lots of water and 1500 calories instead of 1600.

We used to walk 5 miles a day. Recovered from back surgery then hip surgery!! Got back to walking then I sprained my ankle. UGH! I was down for 6 weeks with the ankle...sigh...now the smoke from the fires is keeping us inside.

@deepwoodslady "forming" someone - I guess its local slang - it means filling in the form to initiate a 72 hour psychiatric hold. I am still hopeful we can avoid it. We have not had to do it in an adult facility before and I think it would be traumatic for him (and for me with the Covid no visitors policies in place). Thanks for asking.

@allmannerofthings Thanks for the explanation. I do hope he will settle down and become more compliant. Best of luck to you (and to him).

Day/Weight/Comment
09/13 …..212.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
09/14 …..211.6 ….. Better. I wasn’t perfect yesterday but my carbs were on the lower side and it paid off. Good luck everyone this round!

09/15 …..211.6 ….. I traveled today. I wonder what tomorrow may bring……

09/16 …..211.3 ….. Wonderful news after travel! When I am super low carb, even a small regular meal can put 3-5 pounds on me after travel so I was quite shocked to see a loss. Its very nice, but I know that “regular meals” do not help my diabetes. Only the lower carb ones so I’ve got to eventually go back to finding a balance. I will have to back out slowly (while backing back IN to low carb) to try to avoid those huge sugar drops. I’m formulating my plan. Horrid night last night. I didn’t get to sleep until after 8:00 this morning. My personal and business stresses and situations really got to me last night but I avoided overdoing the bad snacks so I am proud of myself!

Ten Day Challenge

9/15 and getting stronger. Love this challenge....I start my day with weighing (use a Withings and heart rate monitor to track). For four months - a day at a time- I have not deviated from my lifestyle plan (spiritual, mental, and physical). Last month I lost nine pounds, but for the last two weeks (with a continuing 900+ calorie deficit daily and no eating back my exercise calories) I've continued to hover at 195. The science says this is not possible, so I've reviewed the charts and reflected on daily goals. I've kept my fat at 10% and continued with the deficit I'm trusting the process. The good news is my muscle gain is gently rising as my fat is slowly descending on the chart. I'm also seeing more strength and energy during my workouts. Yesterday, I had the best workout in the last four months of this journey. I'm welcoming this challenge as a new strategy to confirm that I will meet my goal of being out of the 190s by the end of the month. Best wishes to each of us....by staying in the moment making consistent daily positive choices towards health (on all levels) we will reach of goals! Thank you @Lilylady3k for this opportunity!

9/16 and maintaining fierce dedication to my lifestyle!!! I'm learning patience is a strategy for success. I'm slowly gaining strength/energy which is a priority. I know the weight loss will be certain throughout this journey. Today I received the kettlebell that was ordered and looking forward to adding it into the fitness routine. Grateful for this opportunity and wishing everyone success with their daily goals.

Goal: to lose 2 kg before October
SW: 69.00

I'm way behind with this goal as I had a few celebrations at the beginning of September and ate too much the cake etc. I put nearly a 1kg back on but I've lost it again so hopefully I can stay focused and still achieve my goal

Round 125: 73.3 (-0.5)

Day/Weight/Comment
09/14 - 73.8 - Because of course it jumps up to what it was a week ago. This is why I'm glad I weigh every day, because it would look like I've not lost anything this last week, but I know that this is just a fluctuation up. And I know why too. Yesterday was a maintenance day. I knew it was going to be a maintenance day. I banked calories for it to be a maintenance day. It still feels wrong to allow my numbers go into the red. Ah well. Cider at lunch (first time I've drunk alcohol for ages, damn it was good), went out for lunch (nice burger and chips), lots of cheese for dinner and topped it off with a big chocolate cookie. CI was slightly above CO so not quite a true maintenance day, but considering my deficit for the week, I'm still pretty happy with it all and all. And I didn't eat all of my lunch because it was there. When I was full, I stopped nibbling at the chips and left them.
09/15 - 74.0 - Now you can just stop it. My legs are killing me. Judo yesterday killed me. My legs were still kind of hurting going into the session left over from Saturday, and then what did we do during the circuits? More flipping frog jumps. Aaaaah! It's fine, I don't need to use my legs! And I think I've pulled my hamstring because I am so close to getting left side splits flat to the floor (something I've not been able to do since I was a about 10), so I pushed it a little too much trying to get there, I did make it though, but only for a second, and it hurt so maybe a little bit longer on that one. So yeah, fluid retention is strong today. Hopefully we'll see a drop tomorrow back to something a little more sensible.

09/16 - 74.4 - Why? Seriously though, why?

09/17 - 73.8 - Right, well at least that better. Lets see if this trend continues. Yesterday was hard, I am getting really hungry at the moment (lead up to my period week, I think) and I decided to work from home where all the food was available. But managed to keep it at bay and eat fairly sensible. Dinner was somewhat disappointing as I'd bought some lean cut pork sausages with a lower calorie count. But the amount of calorie difference was no where near enough to make up for the fact that they were just not as nice a normal sausages. And they shrank up quite small, so two wasn't really quite enough, and at that point is the sausage just less calories because there's less of it than other brands. Well whatever, not going to be going for that again.

09/14 - walking 5k.
09/15 - weigh day 96.7! Mini GW1 accomplished. Now just need to keep it in the 96.x till the end of the challenge. Not sure if it will work since it must be water fluctuations.
09/16 - raining day, but you would be surprised how many steps you can get in the supermarket

It was a bit too crowded but we tried to go in and out. 5K steps and groceries are in!
09/17 - It is surprisingly hard to combat curiosity and *not* get on the scale every day. It has been to discouraging before so I am trying something new. 2 more mornings to go! Better weather today so will try to compensate for yesterday slacking day

Day/Weight/Comment
14/9 126.9kg
Happy that the drop from yesterday has held so far. I spent the weekend dealing with some of the responsibilities on my plate, so that has helped my stress levels a bit.

15/9 126.6kg
I have moved to an IF 16:8 model, as I am finding if I have an early breakfast, then I am more hungry throughout the day. Still keeping it low carb as well, which really helps prevent snacking.

16/9 126.7kg
I'm finally settling into some good habits, and maintaining this new lifestyle is becoming easier. My husband is supportive, but still offers me treats that are high carb, which I medically need to control. He will get there at some point, but it is a test of my new habits.

17/9 126.9kg
Bounce, bounce, bounce. It will go down again. I just need to be patient. I'm going to try some low carb chocolate for dessert tonight. It will either work, or it won't.

Hi! Welcome! At the almost top of the page towards the right, there is a small almost translucent star. If you click on it, it’ll turn yellow. Once you do that, if you click the bigger star at the top of the page where the bell, message, pencil, and magnifying glass is, you’ll see this thread in that star section.

Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home
You are SAFE at home
One word can change your attitude
One cough can change your life

Take care! Stay safe!

August focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:

2020 Focus:

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!
Recent 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 ✅ Working on it. Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
That's a WIN in my book!
2020
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

Round 125 EW: 152.2:
We thoroughly enjoyed our celebration day on the 12th. Phone calls and messages, and a garden visit from DED and her dogs. 💦 Water is up over 5% (having an analytical scale is very reassuring) which will go in a day or two. This is what maintenance is all about. The occasional indulgent day does little harm in the long run.
(Goal: Maintenance ✅)

14/09: 151.6: As expected, water weight is going ✅ Goals 🌟Stayed on track so should be back down in a day or two.

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!

9/14: 128.8..binged on Saturday and worked out like crazy yesterday to counter it. So sore today so going to try to get my 10,000 steps in and do a 30 minute body weight workout. I use CocoLime Fitness since I have chronic conditions.
09/15: 129.2...yesterday I put all my calories into the mfp and was trying so hard to stick to them but at the end of the night, I was so hungry and nauseous I ate a bigger later snack. Need to try harder today to stick to what I input in my calorie diary but at least my last snack was healthy plain oatmeal. I didn’t eat any junk yesterday but I still feel I eat too much healthy food I guess.
09/16...129.2 I don’t think I will ever loose these last few pounds again because I eat too much. I exercise every day for 1-2 hours either walking or doing a video but I know I probably eat too many calories. They are all one ingredient and super healthy foods but I hate being hungry after battling multiple eating disorders over the last 20 years. I get a little hungry and I panic and need to eat. It is that time of the month so hopefully that is adding a pound or so.
09/17...128.6 Glad to see it going down instead of up. Have to keep trying.

R126: Form good habits and they will be just as hard to break as bad ones. This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
🎯Mini Goal: 225 I’ll no longer be morbidly obese

Date – Morning weigh in – Previous day summary:
09/14 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 Well the roofers did not finish so we are still at the camp and I don’t have an ending weight for R125 nor a starting weight for R126. But I’m checking in! Walked 3+ miles yesterday morning, tracked food.
09/15 227.7 Finally stepped on the scale. I’m solidly in the 20s and closer to my mini goal. First time in many years I did not gain weight at the camp! Down 1.6 lbs. Yesterday long day in the car 5 hrs returning from the camp, grocery shopping, etc. But tracked, didn’t stop for fast food, drank a ton of water, AF and went on an evening 1+ mile walk.
09/16 227.5 3 mile walk, bike, hand weights, tracked food, 2 glasses of wine. Lots of time spent on reflection, mini goals, habits, and not returning back up to the 230s or 240s like I have in the past.
09/17 227.0 3 mile walk, tracked food, AF. DH had a craving for fried chicken. Popeyes Chicken Breast but tossed the biscuits in the trash immediately then cooked my own green beans as a side and did not break my calorie or carb goals for the day. Bye Bye 18 pounds! I’m not losing weight. I’m getting rid of it with no intention of finding it again.
