44, 6' trying to maintain at 150. Have to track here for accountability. More water, more low/0 calorie snacks when starving.
9/24-27 vacation- Hiked hard every day, Lassen, Zion, completed Angel's Landing, but ate big too with no tracking. Up substantially. Back here to track
9/28 158.6 Yeah...
9/29 156.2 I thought yesterday might have been up a bit from post travel swelling. This feels more like where I am. Still not great, but that's why I'm here.
9/30 156.2 feeling hungry today... sigh
10/1 156.2 a bit surprised I did not really track yesterday.
10/2 156.6 yep need to track7 -

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
9/28: 267.0 ~ I didn’t drink enough water yesterday. Caught up with me! But I’ve already accomplished today’s workout and today is going to be better. 🙂
9/29: 266.6 ~ Another good day of tracking yesterday. Trying to make that back into a habit.
9/30: DNW ~ I ate a massive burrito last night and just didn’t want to know what the scale had to say this morning 😂. Walked this morning and will stay within my calories today lol.
10/1: 267.8 ~ Highest weight I’ve had in months. I ate well under on calories yesterday, walked almost 11,000 steps and drank a ton of fluid. Maybe I needed a couple high weigh ins to get properly convinced my lazy approach wasn’t working.
10/2: 267.4 ~ Better than yesterday, anyway.8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
09/24 190.9 Soon to be in the 180s
09/25 191.8 I'm trusting the process. The magic will happen due to the consistent daily effort.
09/26 190.7 Never give up - be fierce!
09/27 189.6 My mind is my strongest strategy on this journey.
09/28 190.2 Staying strong....committed-maintaining cal deficit. Health is my priority...the weight will follow..
09/29 190.0 Bike, Road Work, Weight training, Sauna, Self Lymph massage, life-giving food....great day!
09/30 191.0 Doing all the right things....just waiting for the scale to catch up! Trusting the process.
10/01 192.0 OK...my mantra: my goal is health...the weight will follow. Good news: hips down 1", bust/back down 1", waist down 3". The first of each month, I increase physical activity....this am 25% more road work. Maintaining my deficit and calorie allotment. The magic will happen....continuing the work to make it happen.
10/02 191.0 This has been a challenging ten days. My body has dropped inches but my weight is maintaining. Upon reflection, the only missing piece could be drinking more than the usual amount of water (I already eat high water content food). So today I will be mindful and set aside the amount of water I will drink today. Grateful to be here posting daily, even though it is a rough road for me I know if I was not acutely aware of my actions I would easily be gaining. Going to gear up for my outdoor activities with appreciation that I am here for another day and have the opportunity to make positive changes in my life. Wishing my fellow warriors all the best today!

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!
09/28 …..209.8 ….. My snacks were still kinda bad, but my meals were thoughtful and satisfying. A touch more movement helped too and there is always the benefit of TMI when a day has been skipped. Let’s hope this trend continues downward.
09/29 …..210.0 ….. Must be a normal fluctuation. I had a very good day yesterday with my eating plan.
09/30 …..211.0….. Chinese food yesterday. Leftovers today. I will try to drink extra water and get in more movement but my day holds hours of important business meetings and it has been raining steady since last night. However, I’ll try to stay on top of this.
10/01 …..211.0 ….. I finished the leftovers yesterday that I talked about (Chinese), so I’m not surprised that there was not drop on the scale. I’m only too happy I didn’t gain more or retain more fluid.
10/02 …..209.0….. Whoosh! Practiced some IF yesterday which made the day lower in overall calories. Also I lost a little water retention perhaps from Chinese food earlier in the week. I’m a happy camper right now and hope to take this victory and run with it! Have a nice weekend everyone!

Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110
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 😊.
09/28 115.8 Back down it goes. I did a killer workout this morning consisting of run a mile walk a mile and the last mile was up and down hills at the soccer field. On our walk this weekend my husband was talking about how he was thinking we should get take out once a week and then I proposed we get it every other week. We talked about it and how it just messes with me so much and once a week seems like a lot for me. So, we met in the middle and decided on take-out about every 10 days. My next goal with that is to try to choose lower sodium options and eat something healthy like a salad before so I’m less starving prior. Therefore leading me to eat less of the higher sodium meal. In reality take-out food is not an option for us to eliminate because my husband and I are decently addicted to Thai food lol. So it’s all about balance right?
09/29 114.6 Whoosh whoosh. Went for a nice walk this morning coming in at just under five miles. Today’s breakfast was some yogurt topped with left over “healthy” apple crisp and a side of cottage cheese because I had less Greek yogurt left than I thought. I wanted to boost the protein content a bit for some extra staying power. My snack will be a chickpea cake batter dip I made because I was craving cake batter on Sunday and wanted to try making one of those “healthy” chickpea dips. It turned out decent. I wouldn’t serve it at a party because it definitely has a touch of a chickpea flavor… but it does the trick for me especially when dipped with apple slices. Dinner tonight will be some sort of stir fry with green beans, eggplant, shitake mushrooms and possibly flank steak. Yum! Have a good day!
09/30 114.4 It’s creeping back down to where I like it 😊. Went for a walk/run this morning. I think my joints like that better than running straight through. Food has been solid today. Busy day with work so just getting around to posting!
10/01 115.4 We went for a great walk this morning and I’ll be getting another walk in today when I walk to the post office to mail a few things. Dinner was a little salty with it being a stir fry but it was healthy other than the salt. The nice thing I’ve been noticing is that my calorie burns for the day have been up a lot higher since I activated the move bar on my Garmin watch. It’s a really nice reminder for me to get my heart rate up throughout the day. Usually I’ll jog in place or something when it reminds me to move. Have a good day!
10/02 115.0 We did a really good soccer workout this morning! Food was meh yesterday but not the worst. I actually had a non-scale victory/win with Thai takeout last night where I put about a third of the meal in a smaller bowl with half the rice and was satisfied when I finished the bowl. So, I was able to enjoy it without crushing myself. We celebrated my husband finding out his Occupational Therapy fieldwork placements and he got exactly what he wanted (Psych hospital for three months and an acute care rehab for three months)! When he finishes that in June next year he will officially be done with his Masters program in OT 😊. So we are feeling pretty good right now, although he won’t believe it’s real until he is in the facilities and it’s happening lol. Happy Friday all!

Round 126 SW 164.8 EW ????
9/24 164.8 walked 3.04 Third day in a row at the same weight. I moved the scale to make sure it was level and after 3 times the weight was still 164.8. I have to keep watching the sodium and I think I'll be down in a day or two. And calories, obviously but those have been in check all week.
9/25 166.1 hiked 3.25 I can only assume it's the vigorous hike or maybe the sodium was a little high. I didn't think it was but when I looked this morning, those biscuits had 550mg each. Before I had a 2nd one I checked calories and I was fine but did not even LOOK at sodium I mean it's a buttermilk biscuit how much salt does it need.
9/26 166.0 hiked 2.51 Short hike, I had a bunch of stuff to do Friday night and needed to wrap up. So my unexpected gain was due to TOM coming a week and a half early. I'm 51 years old, this TOM can wrap up any time now.
9/27 165.9 hiked 4.11 Nice Saturday morning long hike. I should have gone 5 but I was picking up the baby and didn't have time.
9/28 165.8 walked 3.03 More than half of that was in the rain. A nice weekend. Spent more time with the baby and the BF. He says bring her over anytime. His kids are in their early 20's in college. He's ready for grandkids so I guess I'll share mine She doesn't really have a "grandfather" figure in her life. Both kids have Dads that are either out of the picture or drunk most of the time. He made sure to have toddler friendly snacks (and not just cookies although cookies did play a part). If I didn't already love him, this would push me over the top.
9/29 165.0 No walk A very Monday-y Monday. Didn't have time to walk after work, too many errands to run then the Chiefs were on (we won). It's beautiful today I hope to get in a long walk. At the car dealer now getting my oil changed. Ain't modern technology great. I'm working from the car dealer and updating my status here.
9/30 165.0 walked 3 miles I am at 1017km in my 1020km challenge for 2020. I missed it last year because I didn't take it that seriously and was then I couldn't go walking for almost 6 weeks due to an injury. Taking on this challenge has forced me to walk when maybe it was a little colder than I liked, or hotter, or rainy, or even snowy but I did it and I was fine after. Walking has saved my mental health this year more than anything else. It kept me from gaining a ton of weight during the first weeks of the pandemic when baking was a part of my stress management. I'll finish this challenge tonight. I'll keep walking at a similar pace, I'm curious to know how far it will I will go. On another note, I wanted to hit 164.8 this round, I have three days to drop only .2.... NO SALT!
10/1 165.0 Hiked 2.03 miles I did it! Hiked in a new small metropolitan trail. I wore the wrong shoes and got a late start so I just walked 2. I liked the idea of hitting my year goal by the end of September! I'm proud of myself, I accomplished something that for my old 275 pound, 5 ft 1 self would have thought impossible. I will say 3 days in a row at the same weight is annoying. Meeting a friend for lunch today in an outdoor restaurant. I haven't eaten out in months.
10/2 164.0 Hiked 2.74 miles Lunch with my friend yesterday was awesome! Last night I finished the trail with the right kind of shoes that I had skipped the day before, not as cool as I had hoped. Urban trails tend to have a lot of trash and I'm fairly sure some homeless people are staying there. But WOOHOO and Swish! Down a pound overnight. Once again I got on the scales 3 times because I didn't believe it. One more day, if I stay right here I'll still be happy.

10/02 - 150.4 - As much as I love this weigh-in, I was a bit sick yesterday (better today!!). My stomach ached and gurgled with an acid feeling and felt like I had a 10lb rock behind my ribs. BF made me chicken broth with some rice which helped a little but I couldn't eat near enough of it to get the calories (came in about 850 cals for the day). I took my stomach pills and those helped tremendously, as well. Also ate early so my 18 hour fast is almost over already. Woke up early but stayed in bed until 1045 because I found a happy position for my ribs and didn't want to miss that! Luckily, ribs don't hurt too much this morning thanks to staying in bed and resting. Hopefully by tomorrow I'll wake up completely pain free (: Thinking I'll extend my fast a little longer so my 6hr eating window will include dinner, which we usually eat about 7-730. Plus, I'm not hungry at all right now an I have plenty of water to focus on (I got 108oz yesterday but I'm feeling super dehydrated this morning)
10/03
Previous Day's Comments09/24 - 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.
09/27 - 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)
09/28 - This was a weird weigh in but it can't last long at all. The mirror is more friendly than the scale and if I had access to my measuring tape, I'm sure the measurements would side with how I'm feeling/looking more than the scale as well. Yesterday my BF% was 32.4% but today's unusually, randomly high weight was accompanied by a 35.8%BF reading. I woke up this morning feeling sleepy but really light and airy in my body. Also, looking in the mirror, my stomach has flattened out more so most, if not all, of my bloat seems to be gone. I watched my carbs yesterday along with fasting until 230. Finished my dinner by 615 and have been fasting since. 80oz in water, estimated under calories by 421 (96 of those "exercise" but that was really walking to get water, food, bathroom breaks, etc., not actually exercise haha estimated food intake as I wasn't 100% sure on the homemade potluck style dinner) Managed to eat until I was satisfied, but not overly full. I felt good all day, minus beginning to feel a tad bit lethargic early afternoon at which point I broke my fast and revived myself. It'll take me time to work up to these longer fasts without feeling major impacts on my life. This isn't a race, its a lifestyle change and I want my body to be happily adjusted alongside me.
09/29 - Whoosh goes the high weigh in. Weighed in earlier than normal as I'm headed out to work for in-person training today. Feeling more bloated today but weight shows opposite. BF% also dropped back down to where it usually hovers. Ribs still in pretty good sharp pain so today will be interesting. Starting to make me think I need to see a doctor. Giving it a couple more days in hopes it'll ease down on its own. 70oz water yesterday, fasted 20hr, under calories by 203.
09/30 - I think this is sodium and carbs from dinner. Feeling a bit bloated, but nothing terrible. Only could do a 16hr fast as I was in training with set lunch time. Water was about 72oz. Under 1015 calories but 659 from "exercise" from the walking and errands I had to run after I got home last night. Dinner was homemade chinese food - shrimp fried rice, miso soup, and egg rolls. Was still a touch hungry after lunch, my sandwich and babybel cheese did not cut it for me, though I felt satiated enough to hold off until dinner. Dinner was quite filling but not overly so. I need to eat a bit slower so I can listen to my body while I eat. Dinner is the worst for me, lunch I did well with taking my time and enjoying every bite. Ribs were absolutely killing me yesterday morning but had calmed down in the afternoon. Today they hurt quite a bit, but its still morning and I'm stiff from sleep. Have to take my car in today at 8 for some work so I'm up and dressed early which hopefully means I'll get some good steps in without straining my ribs more. I've been taking for granted my ability to lounge in pjs for an hour or two after I get up before changing haha
10/01 - Back down I go, slowly. Still feeling a bit bloated but I think that's still sodium. I was craving a salty snack and had a few chips and salsa with dinner. 526 calories under, 528 of them from "exercise" so did really well eating enough but not too much. Not sure what dinner is tonight but going to watch carbs and sodium in hopes I can drop bloat for the end of the round. Still determined to see the 140s for my birthday. I have a fasting app to help me track fasting times and keep record to learn my body. I got 17 hours yesterday. 80oz of water (I need more today, I think) Ribs still hurt, morning stiffness, but has become less intense by late morning after I've woken up my body a bit more. Taking it easy and haven't done any walks or other exercise. The "exercise" calories are those my fitbit tracks and communicates with MFP through the day.

Day/Weight/BF%/comment
9/24: 221.8 (+0.4). 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). 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). 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). 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.
9/28: 221.4 (-0.6).
9/29: 221.4 (0.0). I had a weird day eating yesterday. I did not have a bite until about 3pm because I had a dentist appointment at 12. My wife brought home In-N-Out for Linner, including fries (even though I did not ask for them). I snacked later for dinner. Things will get back to normal today, even though tonight is the first Presidential debate. My wife has informed me that she will need to have a few drinks while it's occurring; I will be completely sober (for better or worse). I'm reposting this because I just figured out that my BF% has been calculated incorrectly by my scale for the entire history of my life, apparently. I did some manual BF% checks, and it was WAY off. So I did a little bit of digging in the app attached to my scale, and I fixed it. My BF% is actually MUCH closer to 30% than it is to 20% (which TOTALLY makes sense, given how much work I still have to do). I'll start measuring/including BF% again tomorrow morning. What a horrible little wake-up call.
9/30: 222.8 (+1.4)/29.5.
10/1: 223.4 (+0.6)/29.6 (+0.1). I haven't been great the past three days or so food-wise. Time to get myself back in gear. The debate was stressful, but, to be honest, my issues have been mostly due to indulgence. Yesterday it was ordering in at work (Korean fried chicken... DELICIOUS!!!). Today will be a good food day; I'm going to stay on-plan. I'm going to try to get in some exercise tonight. I have two days to finish off this round in a better place. I'm starting right now.
10/2: 223.2 (-0.2)/29.6 (0.0). Any little loss is better than continuing in the direction I've been going. Snacking is a problem; I'm going to have to set a cut-off time each night for eating. I'm also going to need to get back into controlling WHAT I am having for a snack (protein shake is pretty much better than anything else for me right now). This week has felt REALLY uneven, and mostly crappy. My wife and I are working through some things (important, but not relationship-threatening), and we're making progress, but my energy and my mood are not the greatest right now. I KNOW this is true because my Lakers and Dodgers are doing pretty great, and I'm still in a $#!++y mood.

When you get up from your “night’s” sleep, even if it’s noon, go to the bathroom and then weigh. Granted, I have done that and gone back to bed and dozed and reweighed when I got up the second time and weighed less but that hasn’t happened more than twice that I can remember. Go with your first “morning”weight.3 -

We all have off days, you have this, “ I'm starting right now.”. I love your attitude 👍👍
Thank you @GrandmaJackie !!! The longer I've been in this group, the more I realize how important "I'm starting right now" can be. I can never change what happened a few minutes ago, but I absolutely have SOME control over what I choose to do next. Thank you for the reminder, even if it was something I said... yesterday.
This is exactly what I needed right now.6 -

@Anlaing016
This. It's the easiest thing to do, mostly because the plan is to do the same thing every day (rather than using different strategies for different days). Most of all, over time, it will all even out. Even if your weigh-ins are "off" a little bit a few times each week, but consistent over time (from week to week), you'll still get REALLY GOOD trend data as you look at the big picture.5 -
@SModa61 After years of weighing each day, I realized that it can take 2-3 days for my food choices to be reflected on the scale.4

September focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2020 Focus:Never give up! Never give in!- 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
Recent Back Story:2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅JGM10D ~|~ Round 127
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!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

I also weigh in every morning when I wake, but after I pee/poo. The actual time doesn’t matter as it will even itself out over the 10 days. I use a mean weight for the Round. I also use the Happy Scale app which tracks you weight trends. So long as the trend is downward, you’re doing fine.
Work out a reasonable weight loss for the Round, and don’t stress too much about the inevitable normal weigh Dailey fluctuations.

***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 15,085} ~ Tough day but I managed to stay strong after dinner doing a yoga session instead of turning to food, yay for me!
09/28 165.8 ~ {Steps 15,111} ~ This morning I had a small slice of espresso zucchini walnut bread for breakfast, I wanted to try it in the morning to make sure it didn’t make me spiral out of control. It worked, woot hoot.....I also decided to do a meditation video yoga video at night...
09/29 165.8 ~ {Steps 17,112} ~ An uneventful day, which lately has not been the case.
09/30 167.1 ~ {Steps 13,573 } ~ High sodium gets me every time unfortunately 😈😈
10/01 165.7 ~ {Steps 13,970} ~ I wasn’t able to hit the gym last night and I’ve been trying to eat dinner earlier. That didn’t happen unfortunately.
10/02 166.8 ~ {Steps TBD} ~ Even after yesterday was successful, I understand the weight gain, high sodium a couple nights ago plus a late dinner. I’ll check in later..

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.

9/24 117.0 *16 hour fast broken at 11:30AM Had a lovely evening with friends yesterday. I made Mexican pork chops with rice and made myself Mexican cauliflower rice. I did eat a little real rice and a partial serving of ice cream (def not keto) making it another higher carb day. It’s all about learning what I can enjoy ON OCCASION and still maintain below my goal. Additionally, I’m working out at the gym an PT so hope I’m getting some muscle back. *15.5 hour fast done.
9/25 116.5
9/26 117.0 Talked to PT guy yesterday and since I’m back to the gym, seeking the machines that duplicate what I’m doing at PT, I’m going to go it alone. If I need to, I can get a referral back to PT. There are a few exercises that I will to continue at home, too. I feel so much better than I have for almost 2 years!
9/27 116.0 I only ate one meal yesterday and didn’t snack. I just wasn’t hungry. Short gym session and haircut - first since COVID, over 29 weeks
9/28 115.5 Early morning blood draw. No gym 😢
9/29 117.5. Totally expected. KFC for lunch yesterday. EPL for lunch with the girls today, then I’m fasting for ?? hours.
9/30 116.5 DH made an airport trip for a neighbor so I went to the gym alone. Fast started at 6PM, 9/29 (Tuesday evening)
10/1 115.0 Fast is going well, I did have one cup of homemade chicken broth. Did short workout at the gym yesterday and will again today. As I was catching up on posts today, I had a cup of HM chicken broth with extra pink Himalayan salt to see if that will help my mild headache. Arthritis in my neck means almost daily morning headaches.
10/2 115.5 Ended my fast yesterday after 42:20. I broke it with 1 egg and less than an ounce of bacon and later had coffee with HWC while chicken was baking. Cauliflower and small chicken breast for dinner and I felt stuffed. I need to learn how to refeed after the fast. I’m confident that I could have gone to 48 hours and will do that the next time. I had a doctor appointment today. I weighed on my scale after dressed and was 117.0, on his scale I was 116.0!5
