Round 127

Please join us! Starting on 09/24 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 127
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

SW: 168.5 {9/23}
GW: 165.5

Goals
- check in at least every other day ****
- low carb + no LNS **/****
- actually participate****

Day/Weight/Comment
***09/23 168.5 ~ {Steps 15,404} ~ Today, I hit all my goals with my meals and my workouts! I decided instead of letting my husband mood bring me down too, yes I decided to hit the gym,***

09/24 167.1 ~ {Steps 5,467} ~ Today was another tough day, my morning workout didn’t happen. Throughout the day I didn’t let emotions let my food choices get the best of me. We did get to relax with some friends, which we come home with an espresso zucchini chocolate cake. My plan is to pre slice the cake for portion control. Tonight I was successful of not eating a late night snack. Hopefully the scale will be nice tomorrow.

09/25 165.8 ~ {Steps 11,288) ~ My husband was up with our pug, Pete the Pug at 3:30 am. It’s been a long three days, Pete doesn’t act sick and still eats but his 💩 isn’t normal? Plus he’s almost two and until recently he’s never had accidents, 😭😭. I’ll be back to post to reflect my day....

My sodium was extremely high, 😈😈 but I didn’t snack after dinner. I did eat later then normal so we’ll see how this reflects the scale. Spending the day tomorrow with my grandkids....

09/26 166.7 ~ {Steps 7,312} ~ I figured the sodium would be a factor for some weight gain, no worries. It will be gone soon, bring on lots of water. Today I spent the morning with my grandkids so not much exercising in but tomorrow my pan is an early walk.

09/27 166.1 ~ {Steps TBD} ~

09/27 - 152.8 - Very happy to have stayed the same. I was for sure I had gained. We ended up eating out at a sports bar so we could get out of the house (hello cabin fever) and still watch college football (we had to wait on sealant to set for 8 hrs on the bug which stopped our work on it). That counted as late lunch/early dinner as we were too stuffed at dinnertime to bother eating. Definitely should have had more water yesterday, though. Football today -- noon games at home, followed by cowboys game at our friend's for some smoked (since yesterday) pork butt, then head home for Sunday Night Football. I'm not hungry still, so thinking of stretching fast as long as possible and making it an OMAD kind of day. We will see how my body reacts to the fast as it goes on and it'll be a good learning experiment. Still reading through Life in the Fasting Lane so plenty more to learn (especially given how much other I've read about fasting -- there's so much to it and my science nerd brain is loving it)

Previous Day's Comments

09/24 - A normal fluctuation I think? I made a new dinner recipe last night so not sure if it was a tad heavy or a tad salty since I never add salt to anything but recipe called for it. I don't see any noticeable bloating so I'm thinking it was more heavy than salty. We ate early since it was just us. Didn't get to fully fast yesterday, only 14hrs. Today will be easier since my eating window ended at 630 instead of 730. Plenty of water yesterday, estimated about 88oz. Having last night's dinner leftovers for lunch and making some stuffed pepper soup for dinner tonight. I'm sluggish today from waking up so much last night. Hopefully I can fit in a walk later on, maybe over lunch. Hopefully it will have warmed up a bit by then too! Let the dog out and it was chilly. Not ready for that!
09/25 - This was expected after last night. Actually, I expected higher with slight dehydration. Dinner was loved by everyone (yay! its a favourite of mine) and I was surprised with a homemade, from-scratch strawberry pie I just could not say no to! Its been years since I've had strawberry pie and I made the conscious decision knowing I'd be up today which is a win. I debated awhile about it, but life is for living and I need to have balance, even if it means a small bump up. Especially knowing that there's water weight and it'll easily drop down in a day or two if I'm focused. Today, I have more leftovers from Wednesday's dinner I'll polish off for lunch. I'll ensure dinner is light, whatever it is we have. More VW work today but going to try to squeeze in a walk this morning before we head over after BF's last meeting at noon. AND I'm taking my lovely gas station reusable soda cup and convert it to my garage water cup! Has a lid, a straw, and is 32oz so only need to refill once to hit my 8 glasses a day goal. Yesterday I learned I need a water bottle with a straw when in the garage as hands were so dirty I couldn't get water for a couple hours! Lesson learned!
09/26 - Inching back down like I thought. Dinner was pizza but I pre-logged to see what would fit into my goals and only ate that. Lots of water, too! Still feeling a bit dehydrated this morning but it seems to be a trend lately. I think it's a lot to do with my sleep and less with my water intake the day before. We finished round 3 of rebuilding the engine (oil leaks, yay!) and then rewired tail and brake lights. Today is wiring up the blinkers. Still have front end ball joints to go so it'll be fully driveable -- not sure if we will start those today. Should be good for inspection for registration at that point, I think! Fasting as long as I can today, luckily not feeling overly hungry, just thirsty. No walk as I don't have anything but pajamas available since I'm still in the daughter's room and didn't replenish my supply after a super late night (midnight!) working on the bug. Garage work should give me plenty of steps and movement, though. Going to continue the trend of watching my intake through the weekend. I really want to be in the 140s by my birthday (9 Oct) and its keeping me super focused, thankfully.

@prehistoricmoongoddess Suggested reading-
The Obesity Code by Jason Fung, MD
Cholesterol Clarity by Jimmy Moore and Eric Westman, MD

Your body manufactures cholesterol so what you are eating is not having the effect you think. Eating fat is probably why you have not been as hungry. Healthy fats are good. My cholesterol has improved with every check since I started Keto/LCHF. Next blood draw tomorrow due to a slight anemia caused by blood donation 2 weeks earlier. Who knew it would take so much longer to “bounce back” at 70 than it did at 50?!?

Thank you.

I do really wonder whether to take any advice from doctors. Mostly it was to cut down drastically on fat.

Thankfully I had already started MFP before I got the advice I was pre-diabetic. They put me on to weightwatchers and tracking on there I can use all my points and only take in about 700 calories. The old weight watchers was so much better. Plus the online meetings I have to attend are a joke. Fed up of hearing how I can still have cake and chocolate. I don't have any cravings for those things at all.

Not having another blood test until December.

@GrandmaJackie How is Pete the pug??

Thanks for asking, the last couple of nights he slept through the night so I thinking he’s back to normal. Maybe my husband will listen to me, there’re certain things Pete can’t eat.

GW 169 (and take a maintenance break?)

Happy fall and another round for me! Still on a good track with motivation and consistency

Goal for this round: to lose 1.5 lb, to get to 186.x
I plan to keep my calories around 12-1300 each day and continue drinking lots of water and green tea.

Round 124 SW 193.4 EW 191.6 (-1.8 )
Round 125 SW 191.8 EW 188.3 (-3.5)
Round 126 SW 188.6 EW 188.0 (-0.6)
Round 127 SW 187.8 EW TBD

Still having to limit exercise due to plantar's faciiatis

Would really like to get back to running soon and enjoy this fall weather outside!

Day, Weight, Comment

9/24/20 - 187.8 to start this round, inching downward. I had a very hungry day yesterday too which made me think about the long term plan. I hope my body can adjust to eating less overall calories in the long run bc I don't want to end right back where I started. I am going to work on eating some volume veggies in the meantime. Estimated total calories 1351.

9/25/20 - 187.4 I should be more excited about it but.. total estimated cals yesterday 1292 so not bad. Need more water today.

9/26/20 - 187.6 hmmm. In good news, got an hour walk in this morning while my youngest was at volleyball practice. Since it was Friday yesterday I celebrated with some wine and chocolate last night. Total calories 1601, higher than my goal , but lower than maintenance calories so I'm ok with that.

9/27/20 - 186.4 super excited about this number. hope it sticks! I'm getting very close to my goal for this round! total estimated calories for yesterday 1298. I did have a glass of wine while playing a board game with my family but plan on limiting for the rest of this week until my girl's night in. For health reasons it is recommended that I avoid alcohol (reduces chance of cancer recurrence) but sometimes it comes down to a quality of life issue. I don't want to live the rest of my life without being able to enjoy something nice once in a while. Same thing with dieting I guess. Have a little piece of cake and move on with your life.. it's what you do most of the time that counts.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/23 …..212.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
09/24 …..210.8 ….. Quite a long travel yesterday but my time was so limited, I missed a meal or two. Even with the restaurant stop it turned out a loss on the scale!

09/25 …..211.6 ….. I’m honestly not sure why this is up. I had two healthy meals yesterday (not large) and one Atkins bar for a snack. However, I did have a lot fewer steps and plenty of sitting in meetings yesterday. Today I will try to move more and focus on hydration.

09/26 …..211.4 ….. Too many bad snacks yesterday and last night but more movement & water so it helped.

09/27 …..211.2 ….. I don’t know why I started buying such junk food snacks. As a diabetic, I don’t need them and neither does my son. I vow to stop it starting now! Back to my healthier snacks and meals that I actually miss! I am lucky that my weight has crept down a bit again today. Honestly a lack of good meals and small junk sessions led to less eating overall yesterday and it is not a good way to get where I need to go. Healthy today!

Starting weight 170.1
Long term goal 125
Goal weight this round 167

09/24- 169.2 I hope this is a beginning of a trend.
09/25- 168.1 So far so good. I need to work on eating more than once per day.
09/26- 167.3 I didn't get my steps in yesterday. I have a daily goal of 10,000, which I don't usually make but have been getting closer each day. So to add to the previous, eat more than once per day and get more steps each day.

09/27-167.1 I ate a bunch of stuff I shouldn't have yesterday. Thought for sure I would have gained today. It will probably show up tomorrow.

Original start weight: 178 lbs (Oct. 10, 2019)
Ultimate goal 145 lbs.
Goal by Daughter Wedding April 8: 155lbs

Goal this round: 163.6lbs or less

End of round 126 9/23= 164.8 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
9/24 162.2 lbs fasted 18 hours, which I account for much of the loss, also dehydration because I was away from home thus no food and limited water. 10,480 steps Tomorrow could be bad, going shopping and then a wine walk in the evening with friends.

9/25 164.8 lbs fasted 16 hours I expected an increase due the huge decrease the day before and also the wine walk was great fun. I had not been to that town in a long time and they have alot of new great small business and it was fun to shop and see what was out. The snacks were two good.

9/26 165.6 lbs Weighed with wet hair, fasted 16 hours, walked two miles outside, over 15,000 steps. But calories were about 1400 and I am sure some gain is still from the fun the night before.

9/27. 164.2 lbs. quilted so no exercise. Over on calories. I can do better.

9/26-160-Whew! Biked 10 miles then drove round trip 5 hours to a funeral by the sea, husband wanted hamburgers on the way home. Waves wear huge and it was a beautiful day.

CW: 153.2
GW: 145
UGW: 130

GW for this round: 150

Round 126 (1): 156 to 153.2 (-2.8 lbs)

09/24 - 152.4(!) - And that’s 10 lbs! What a great way to start a new round. 😊. I know I still have a long way to go, and that many of the changes I’m making are permanent, but seeing progress is really uplifting. I got in a good workout this morning and I’m motivated to come up with a good meal plan for this weekend and next week.

09/25 - 152.2 - Had takeout pizza last night, so happy it didn’t hit me too hard on the scale today (stayed within my calories, but sodium!) Rough night with the little guy; he woke a few times so I only got very broken sleep. Still got up at 6 this morning and got a run in with him before the rest of the family woke up. I enjoy morning runs with him, but it’s much more of a hassle than working out on the Switch! Got to get snacks, water, toys - get him dressed and his jacket on - get him all strapped in....definitely can’t just head out the door. But it’s going to be getting cold and rainy here soon, so I feel like I should be getting out while we can.

09/26 - 152.4 - I’m okay with that - had pizza again last night, as well as a slice of the lemon bread I’d made. Put me at 1,800 calories for the day which is about 200 calories more than usual. Woke up feeling tired and bloated this morning too - exercise helped. I meal planned for the week (chili, stuffed sweet potatoes, chicken and veggie casserole!) and went out and did some weeding while the kids played. Now have to get the energy to get the groceries and figure out what to do with all the lemons I picked from our tree yesterday - 4 dozen! Even after zesting and juicing a bunch, making lemonade for the kids, making lemon bread and giving a dozen to a friend, I still have about 15. 😂

09/27 - 153.4 - Well, that’s not the way I want it to go! 😂 Feels like TOM might be starting soon, so that could be part of it. Will just keep trusting the process. I spent an hour and a half doing heavy gardening yesterday: breaking up ground and mixing compost into it. I hope that will make up for me skipping my workout this morning to plant the fall garden.

@grandmajackie @quiltingjaine

Thanks to both of you for the love and support. Yesterday was rough, but my wife and I got through it. At the end, it was actually pretty great. Two married psychologists can be a pain sometimes, but nobody has the potential to work things through quickly like we do.

I definitely ate too much yesterday, though.

Round 126 (3): 167.8 to 164.4 (-3.4)

🏃 09/24: 164.4 I'm holding steady, which is fine since I lost so much in the last half of the previous round. The poke last night was delicious.
🏃 09/25: 165.2 I ate under my calorie goal, so this must be water weight from not drinking enough water ---- or something. I don't know. I'm going to play my Switch fitness games today. I heard a new Boxing game is coming soon in December, so I already know one of my birthday presents.
🏃 09/26: 163.4 That's more like it. I played my Ring Fit Adventure game and the plank reps were killer.
🏃 09/27: 164.0 I'm not concerned about this, especially because Mark wanted fried chicken last night. I had some too, and knew the consequences.

Day/Weight/BF%/comment

9/24: 221.8 (+0.4)/18.7 (0.0). This is the first slight uptick for me in the past few days, but I'm not going to let it get me down. I'm having lunch at the office today with a couple of coworkers; I have both chosen something relatively healthy, and I am not "breaking my fast" this morning until lunch. My wife made me an extra plate of vegetables last night after I was done eating. If I'm going to go "a little over" in calories for a specific reason, I could have done worse, I guess.

9/25: 221.2 (-0.6)/18.7 (0.0). I'm feeling good food-wise right now. Yesterday could have been mess, but I was good; healthy food, good portion. My wife wants to get take-out tonight from a place that we get salads from. I'll get a delicious chicken cobb. Things are working again, for the most part. I still can't wait until I can fully get back into exercise. I'm happy that I've been losing pounds, but I'm really missing the positive effects that exercise has on weight loss and my overall well-being.

9/26: 220.2 (-1.0)/18.5 (-0.2). My wife and I are arguing. I'm not even sure about what, to be honest. It's not going to be the end of the world, but it feels pretty $#!++y in the moment. That being said, I'm almost out of the 220s, which is REALLY exciting. I'm going to try to keep myself busy today with something other than stuffing my face. Usually, on this kind of day, I would park myself on the couch and watch TV all day. Instead, I'll head over to my sister-in-law's and get the rest of our stuff from there (we stored a bit in her garage before we moved into our house almost 1.5 years ago).

9/27: 222.0 (+1.8)/18.8 (+0.3). My rough day yesterday ended up okay, but I definitely ate more than I should have. That being said, my weigh-in yesterday was likely artificially low. I'm not going to let either one bother me. I'm seeing my in-laws today for a bit, and I'm sure they'll want food involved. I'm going to be disciplined today. I may even eat before we go over there, and skip whatever it might be that they try to shove down my throat. I still hate seeing a bad weigh-in; I could feel all the icky internal dialogue/emotions as I looked at the scale. But this is the place I need to come right after, no matter what the scale says. I'm in this for the long haul.

Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011

Previous rounds: 125.2 -> 122.8 -> 121.6 -> 121.2 -> 119.8-> 119.4 -> 117.8 ->116.6 -> 117.2 ->117.2->114.8 ->116.8 -> 116.4 -> 114.0 -> 115 -> 115.4
Goal weight for this round: I really want to see 113 this round but I’m not sure it will happen because of where I’m at in my cycle. Getting back to 114 would be nice though. Darn vacation weekend away last round.
Another goal: Embrace the scale fluctuations and not get flustered.
Previous days

09/24 115.4 We did a nice soccer workout this morning and my body also felt good from my run/walk workout yesterday. My food was pretty on point yesterday and I have good feelings for today as well. I think breakfast will be yogurt, a white peach, and granola on top. I’m not completely sure of what the rest of the day will bring. We finally got a diagnosis yesterday for my mother in law after almost 6 months of various procedures and such. The outlook is good even with it being cancer. The process will suck but there is hope for a good outcome 😊. So, we are all just feeling a little relieved right now but still processing it all. Any ways, I’m just feeling grateful for my own health right now and the fact I get to live with my in-laws and help any way possible. I’m thinking with the added stress, I’m going to focus on trying to lose but be happy if I maintain. The added stress of not losing won’t help me in any way, so if I don’t worry about it…it’s all good. Have a good day and give an extra hug to those you can!

09/25 115.0 We went for a nice walk this morning. I have a training for work and then I’m done at 12 today. Then, I’m going apple picking with my inlaws and hoping it’s quiet there. I’m excited to make a healthy apple crisp tomorrow with our apples! Have a good weekend!

09/26 115.0 Apple picking was great yesterday. The orchard was nice and quiet and we were there for about an hour. My food yesterday was on point within my log and I had enough calories in the bank for a cider donut as a snack and apple crisp for dessert. When I made the apple crisp, I weighed everything out to create a recipe in MFP. After creating a recipe, I created a food in MFP so I can just weigh my portions and enter how many grams it is resulting in a more accurate entry.
Instead of using flour in crumbly topping I used oats and oat fiber, which added a nice dose of fiber in addition to the apples. I didn’t skimp on butter but I only had to use about 4 tbs worth. I left the apple skins on as well because I didn’t feel like peeling them. It wasn’t the most decadent apple crisp around but it sure was tasty! For 277 grams it clocked in at 324calories, 10.4 g fat, 63 carbs, 14.7 g fiber, and 2.4 g protein.
For today, I plan on riding the spin bike, organizing my clothes, cleaning up my work space/office, and doing a few other things around the house. Have a happy Saturday everyone!

09/27 116.6 Salt plus edging into heaviest part of my cycle. That’s life I suppose. I know it’s not real weight because after my workout yesterday I was 113.8 lbs “dry”. We got takeout for lunch yesterday the components were healthy except for the salt. It was a bi bim bab bowl which had brown rice, carrots, shitake mushrooms, water spinach, daikon radish I think?, a bit of marinated beef, an egg and another vegetable I can’t remember. The dish was delicious but high in salt. I also has some Tom Yum soup on the side. Then for dinner I made homemade macaroni and cheese. So it was just a salty day but on the bright side my calories were in check.

We went for a nice walk this morning and then I jumped in our portable sauna contraption to help rid some of that salt and water weight! This morning’s breakfast was yogurt with fruit and some apple crisp from Friday. My snack will be more fruit that needs to be used from our CSA last week but I think I’ll put some on top of cottage cheese so I have some protein with my snack. I’m roasting a chicken with veggies for dinner tonight. So hopefully I’ll be back down tomorrow 😊.

9/24: DNW ~ Just didn’t have a chance to weigh in. Busy day. But ate reasonably and hit my steps, so counting those as wins!

9/25: 266.4 ~ Planning to make actual progress in this round! Last round was more maintaining than losing.

9/26: DNW

9/27: 266.0 ~ I haven’t been logging calories lately. But I logged everything yesterday, and it felt like a step in the right direction again, after weeks of a diet break.
