Round 137
Please join us! Starting on 01/02 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 137
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.
Goals

01/08 - 148.4 - Back to end weight of last round. Now if I can keep dropping. Dinner plans last night were ruined last minute so we got Chinese. Surprised I'm not up from that. Tried my "leftover soup" and it was actually really delicious. And filling! Put the second container (filled 2 to the brim! It made a lot) in the freezer as I'm sure I'll get bored and tired of it after a few days. Have some leftover sesame beef from last night to change things up today. Water was decent - guessing about 80oz. Pretty sure that helped drop some bloat - its still there, but less! I'll take it considering Chinese usually means the scale goes up and so does the bloat! Fasted 15.5hrs as I got really hungry (due to my late-night Jack&Coke Wednesday which pushed my window so far back). 16hrs today takes me to just after 12 so I'll be good there. Day off so I'll be running errands as needed.

Previous Day's Comments01/02 - TOM bloat is kicking my behind! I feel less puffy but my tummy definitely looks more puffy. Need to cut the TOM cravings. Best Friend sent me reeses flats and I've been indulging on 1-2 of those the last couple days. Need them GONE. Think I crave because they're in the house and visible, honestly. Fasted 16.5hrs. Hit 64oz water. Going to push more water on this lazy day and see if I can move the bloat along elsewhere. Have 1 more serving of italian wedding soup and then 1.5 servings of last nights baked parmesan garlic chicken (with sides) for lunch the next few days. Getting brave and comfortable in kitchen so I'm planning on using leftover carrots, spinach, and orzo in a soup for lunches. Have a base soup recipe for them, need to figure out what protein will go best from my options: chicken, bacon, beans. Beans for sure, I think. Not sure about adding either of the other two. BF will try to make the lemon pepper chicken tonight if work slows down enough. Need to use chicken before it goes bad. Otherwise, I'll likely be taking direction from him and learning his recipe for it. So happy cooking is feeling less like a chore and more of something I look forward to. HUGE improvement.
01/03- Back down, feeling less bloated. Ended up having steaks last night. I was super hungry so I went back for more comfort food: rolls filled with homemade mashed potatoes. Yum. Thankfully, I was quite satiated after that. The extra carbs from that may account for the visible bloat I have hanging on. I'm alright with that! Managed 16 hrs but I was huuuuungry. 75oz down the hatch. Could've drank more, but I woke up the last few nights in the middle of the night to pee and I DID NOT want to do it again so tapered off water early.
01/04 - Broke fast early (15hr) because BF made breakfast for us to use up the last of the package and not waste it. Got 70oz water only. Missed dinner due to being at the dealership. Managed a deal I didn't think was at all possible AND got a great trade in value (talking $3-4k more) that I couldn't say no to. And winter sale was still going on, so the truck was $8000 below list price. Old truck was dying. Transmission going out, not reliable. We avoided driving it, but its the only vehicle that could fit all of us and driving either 12 or 22hr round trips to pick kiddos up got to be a really nervous thing because we weren't sure the old truck would make it. Now we have a brand new (2021), a diesel (which, if our future plans go well, we need and had been discussed for a couple years now), and a long term vehicle we don't have to worry about anymore. Its a huge relief despite my payments going up. Did my homework and its more than doable so not too worried about it. Anywhoot, because travel (had to drive an hour) water wasn't the most ideal and definitely forgot to grab the dinner BF set aside for me. Guess that's my lunch.
01/05 - Carby carby. Had homemade chicken fried rice and egg rolls for dinner. Was delicious, but I usually do bump up a bit when I eat it. 65oz water. Fasted 19hrs but was so hungry yesterday from skipping dinner and BF made breakfast tacos, I couldn't say no. Longer eating window also likely accounted for the blip up in weight. Back to normal fasting window today.
01/06 - BF needed out of the house and got approval from his boss to be away from his computer long enough to go get dinner. Those opportunities are few and far between so we ventured out to grab Mexican food - aka salty chips! Was barely able to reach my 64oz of water so that isn't helping with water retention, either. Need to get on it in the morning. Usually I can drink water quickly in morning and taper off but lately I've been slacking in morning and running the fine line between catching up to goal or waking up several times in the middle of the night. Oops! Fasted only 16hrs but BF made breakfast (a reason for him to take a break from the computer). Unfortunately, dog jumped fence once while in the backyard enjoying weather. Second time, she escaped the house to jump the fence. She's never done that before until the last couple days! So my breakfast got cold while searching for her ): But it did push me over 16hrs, so that's a win! Today shouldn't be difficult to reach 17hrs. And I can't be too much of a couch potato since the dog has to be monitored when she goes outside. Ugh. Glad its warmed up at least.
01/07 - The bloat! More salty chips. Went to our other Fam's kind of taco/fajita pot luck dinner last night. The wife also works the same company as BF and both FamWife and FamHub's so she's in on this "conference" as I'm calling it. She's a definite social butterfly so she needed some interaction. Her poor husband is self-employed and watching their kids so it was nice to give him a little break, too, and just talk. Plus, it got us out of the house and BF away from his computer desk for a bit (though he still had his computer and was working). Not sure dinner plans today, but I made my "leftover soup" as I'm calling it. Had leftover celery, carrots, bell pepper, spinach, orzo, and chicken breast. Had diced tomatoes on hand so only had to buy broth and cannellini beans - super cheap and not so wasteful! Plus it made a TON of soup I can eat on it for lunch for quite a while. Probably should freeze the second portion now that I'm thinking about it. Haven't even tried it so hopefully it turned out okay. Fasted 16.5hrs (an oops moment tasting my bell pepper while chopping), and 96oz water.

01/02 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓
01/03 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Managed a seated upper body dedicated stretch. Arms, shoulders, sides, back, and belly! Felt so good. Next - lower body (:
01/04 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: ✓ - Got to do two dedicated lower body stretches. Hammys stiff so did a little in morning and a little after dinner.
01/05 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓ - Started a dedicated stretch but interrupted by BF when he realized dog was not in backyard. Did some jogging through the neighborhood in search of her, though!
01/06 - Dedicated: x, Daily: ✓
01/08 - Dedicated: ✓, Daily: TBD - Day has only just begun but once BF got up for work, I could stay in bed (its a rare thing). I was able to sprawl out and stretch. Best part? I got my back to finally pop! I feel so wonderful. Not sure it does too much (relieves some stiffness right above the titanium, which, unfortunately, always feels stiff and like it needs a pop to release), but mentally it really works wonders. Haven't had that relief often since I stopped having chiropractor availability (Only select VA offices have a chiropractor on hand - pending additional. My new VA does not yet, sadly. And I can't afford the local ones out of pocket right now - plus unsure if some will take me given I've had back surgery... Surgeon said yoga will do me well so I manage!)

Round Goals
- drink at least 64 oz of water
- track my food intake
- go for a walk every day
SW: 244.4 lbs
GW: 150 lbs
01/02: 244.3 lbs: (-0.1lbs) Rough start for food yesterday. Went for a long walk (didn’t track how long
01/03: 243.2 lbs: (-1.1lbs)Yesterday was better. Usually every weekend my husband likes to go and get fast food breakfast. I looked up what I previously would get and realized it was 1000 calories! I made a smarter decision and it was only 450 calories instead skipped lunch and had a filling dinner but I was way under my calories and at 9:30 I was scrambling to eat things to get over 1200 calories and get rid of my headache.
01/04: 242.7 lbs:(-0.5 lbs) went on a 5 km walk yesterday which was wonderful! My hubby once again convinced me to eat out (with the promises to not again this week) so I’m not really sure how many calories were in my dinner. Feeling happy and well
01/05: 241.8 lbs (-.9 lbs): back to work yesterday after being on vacation. I’m currently working from home due to Covid and I’d normally snack throughout the day but I didn’t! Yay! I was slightly over my calories but honestly happy that I didn’t feel starving and felt satisfied. Wasn’t able to get on a walk though.
01/06: 240.7 lbs (-1.1 lbs): yesterday was a good day.. it’s getting easier now. I’m eating a bit more food the last couple days and I’m finding it’s helping with my hunger. Went for a 30 min walk on my lunch break, but didn’t reach my water goal
01/07: 240 lbs (-0.7 lbs) : my hubby really wanted McDonald’s for lunch. I managed to just get chicken nuggets and had some soup at home rather than a full meal. Small victories! Was terrible with my water today though
01/08:239.6 lbs (-0.4 lbs) eating was on the higher side today but still made smart decisions. I’m very happy with my progress so far, but I know this is just mostly water weight7 -

Day/Weight/Comment
01/02 - 58.1kg, horrified to see this number on the scale this morning, my highest weight since maintenance
01/03 - 56.9kg, must have been a salt overload from New Year's Day ham, calories, yoga, walking all good :-)
01/04 - 56.8kg, only doing shorter yoga routine for now, eating good, walking could have been better...
01/05 - 56.3kg, holiday weight is dropping off, walking > 16,000 steps, but too hot for yoga last night
01/06 - 56.1kg, great longer yoga session, >17,000 steps, comfortable deficit
01/07 - 56.0kg, >19,000 steps, longer yoga session, good on calories, high on fat, but maybe that's OK...
01/08 - 56.0kg, shorter yoga, a few cocktails but stayed strong with eating, > 15,000 steps
01/09 - 56.0kg, holding steady which is fine - patience pays...

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.

1/2 118.5 I felt uncomfortably bloated last night. Decided to look back at my 1/1 weights for the last few years-
2017 - 174.5
2018 - 144.5
2019 - 131.5
2020 - 122.0
2021 - 117.0
1/3 118.5 DGD#2 leaves today. Family lunch at Mexican restaurant. I ate some chips and part of a tortilla but mostly stuck to beef fajitas. Surprised there wasn’t a gain because we had a pitcher of Margaritas! May show up tomorrow. I think we’re going to go to Greek today.
1/4 119.0 Stressful night last night only 4 hours of sleep.
1/5 120.5 Not worried, I ate a WHOLE HUGE NY bagel.
1/6 119.5
1/7 119.5 EDIT: 4 hours, 8 cups of coffee and one TMI visit = 118.5
1/8 119.5 Expected, Greek salad with gyro meat, melitzanosalata and pita! YUM! Leftovers today. And probably extra weight tomorrow!
*Two oldest granddaughters visiting until 1/3 and 1/4*
1/1 Walked with neighbor
1/2 2603 steps
1/3 I have decided my January goal will be getting back to longer fasts. 1/4 16 hours on 1/3
1/5 I need to remember to track my fasting in Senza. Aim for 16:8 most days with goal of 36-42 hours once a week. I did a plank for the first time in a long time! 1:00.84. The cat does not like to share horizontal space on the floor so this has to be timed to his sleeping!
1/6 1:19.46 plank
1/7 Waiting for opportunity to use horizontal surface. Haven’t planked but attempted and got this for my effort- upper arm claw holes!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/01 …..207.8 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/02 …..208.1 ….. Travel today.
01/03 …..207.1 ….. Travel yesterday and again today. I don’t quite understand my fluctuations. I think water weight as I was up and down shedding all night. I won’t get in much movement today and food will be away from home again. Just got to get through these couple of days!
01/04 …..207.4 ….. Slightly up due to a very very late night dinner. Travel plans were cancelled at the very last minute and the day was haywire. However, I managed to get my 10,000 + steps in, though it wasn’t easy.
01/05 …..207.0 ….. Gotta make good choices today. I am expecting a handyman and his family over for most of the day to help take down and store my Christmas things. We’ll see how my meals go but there should be lots of activity.
01/06 …..207.2 ….. Very likely a no TMI fluctuation. Very exciting day! I had a 7 foot space on my livingroom wall (after changing the furniture) that was screaming for something. I found a beautiful sideboard in the perfect rich wood finish on facebook and had my handyman pick it up for me. I’m in HEAVEN. So beautiful and elegant. The lady sold it to the right person. I will respect it and take excellent care of it.
01/07 …..207.2 ….. A low calorie day. Perhaps the milk I couldn’t resist (16 oz).
01/08 …..207.0 ….. Food choices a bit better yesterday. Quantities were the real win.
01/09 …..xxxxx …..
01/10 …..xxxxx …..
01/11 …..xxxxx …..
My Goal is to get my 10,000 steps in daily (like I used to!)January 01 – 10,053 steps. I mean business!
January 02 – Traveled. Only 7308 steps.
January 03 – 10,571 steps. Travel plans were cancelled so I fit it in.
January 04 – 7120 steps
January 05 – 10,725 Took down Christmas décor so plenty of activity!
January 06 – 8341 steps. A little short.
January 07 – 6873 I was forced to charge my fitbit in the evening for awhile. I’m not sure how many steps were not recorded but I likely did not hit the 10,000.6 -

@quiltingjaine Wow! I am so sorry. You really did mean it when you stated your kitty does not like sharing space. Could he/she chill in another room for a bit, or can you access another room yourself. Maybe even a yoga mat in the bathroom, depending on the bathroom floor space?3 -
@deepwoodslady, I'm telling you, the longest half hour of the fast was 12-12:30. Just about to have my coffee and brunch😄 Thank you. I'm working on it.5

Goals for this round:
- Refocus on weight loss after being at maintenance over Christmas and New Year’s
- Begin 30-day plank challenge
- Decide on personal and health goals for 2021
01/02 - 134.6 - Ok, there’s the impact of New Year’s Eve/Day. It’s ok - some of it is water, and and for anything that isn’t - I have my meal plan for the week, lots of fun new workouts to do, a plank challenge for the month and a goal weight to hit by April! I’m excited for 2021!
01/03 - 134.6 - Did a boxing workout this morning that really got me sweating! Today is meal prep day - making egg muffins, overnight oats, lunch for the week and granola bars for snacks. The scale will go back down soon - just need to be patient.
01/04 - 133.4 - Now it really is back to normal life - DH is back to work and we’re starting up homeschool again for my daughter. It’s a cold, grey day here, which doesn’t bother me too much but does make it hard to entertain two kids when they don’t want to get dressed and go play in the rain. I’ve already entered all my pre-planned meals and snacks for today into MFP - hopefully that will help me stick to them!
01/05 - 133.2 - I’m cautiously looking forward to getting below 133. I’ve been this close before, but I could go right back up tomorrow. Trying to trust the process - I know I’m burning calories and eating at a deficit. Rest day on my plank challenge, but I did 30 minutes of strength training and 20 minutes of boxing/cardio.
01/06 - DNW - Daughter woke up complaining of pain and not feeling well this morning. I don’t think it’s serious (and zero chance it’s COVID) but it completely threw our morning routine off. I didn’t get a chance to work out or weigh this morning like usual. I did manage my plank, at least! Hopefully we’ll be back to normal tomorrow.
01/07 - 131.8 - Wow! I doubt that number will stick, but it was so nice to see it on the scale this morning. I stayed up late last night but still made sure to get up early to work out. I did a dance and a strength workout, and made sure to do my plank!
01/08 - 132.2 - Little bounce, completely expected. Yesterday was a tough day snacking-wise. I was just hungry all day! It wasn’t just candy/sugar - I was eating extra chicken, veggies and fruit too. I figure my body was telling me it needed some extra fuel. I did some yoga and a HIIT workout this morning - I made sure to get my plank in there too, though it was tough when I was already so tired.

Day/Calories/Comment
1/2 - 1839
We had freezing rain all day yesterday, so worth your bones to walk out there. I had a nice NYD, though, with two meditation sessions, some reading, some knitting while listening to podcasts, some kitty cuddling. I might take down the Christmas decorations today, although I do like the tree lights on these gray, gloomy days. I had to remind myself not to step on the scale this morning! I think I’ll set something on it or over it as a reminder. Such a habit! Enjoy your Saturday!
1/3 - 1620
Eating satisfying meals is definitely making me less inclined to snack at night. I did have popcorn last night, more out of habit than hunger, but I haven’t done any random snacking in several days. Hit my goals for calories and meditation. It’s supposed to be above freezing most of the day, so the ice will melt and I should be able to go for a walk without risking my neck — or butt! Happy Sunday!
1/4 - 1835
I haven’t yet driven the snack-at-night monster completely into hiding, but I think I’m making progress. At least I’m more mindful of what I’m doing, which I think is the first step. Some days I’m snack free; last night, not so much. But today’s a new day. Today is also the start of the Ten Percent Happier 21-dat meditation challenge, which is where I’m going from here. I did meditate yesterday, so I’ve been meeting that goal. Yay!
1/5 - 1720
Better snack control yesterday. I’ve been listening to the Audible edition of Self-compassion by Kristin Neff, PhD, and recommend it highly. I very much value science-based work and have a finely tuned b.s. meter, and Dr. Neff’s work meets the standard. I’m working to implement much of what she says in my weight/eating world as well as work, the two realms being not entirely unrelated!, and find myself much more conscious of what I’m doing or not doing and some of the reasons. Daily meditation is helping, too. And turning off the news! 😎
1/6 - 1627
DH had to go out early this morning and I got to sleep in way later than usual. 🛏 It was great! Now to catch up on my usual “morning things.” Hoping you all find some “me time” in your day.
1/7 - 1519
Somehow I managed not to eat my way through yesterday — I was busy & offline until about 4, then frozen in front of the tv until MUCH later.
1/8 - 1729
A bit caloric yesterday, but today is better. I’m meeting my meditation goals, am mostly mindful while eating, and have walked at least a little every day in spite of the cold.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/2 170.1 Can’t believe the NYE drop held. Still think it may be hard to maintain this round but dang determined to trade that 7 for a 6 now.
1/3 - 170.4
1/4 - 172.1 the drop rebounded. So weird. Struggled thru my first exercise video in a long time yesterday. Left me feeling sore today. Didn’t log my food so can’t look back and see where I went wrong. But today is a new day!
1/5 _ 171.1 My scale is psycho. It can't be anything I'm doing. lol Ice storm sagas continue in the Midwest. No power last night meant early bedtime! Appreciating the electricity this a.m.
1/6 - 171.0
1/7 - 170.2 Almost back to where I started this round. Still no explanation for the weirdness of my ups and downs this round. Maybe it's related to my bod adjusting back to IF.
1/8 - 169.5 got my six to replace the 7! May mean nothing but my usual 16:8 fast accidentally turned into 18:6 due to my work schedule. Does anyone else who does IF have any experience with results when eating in a shorter time frame?

Does anyone else who does IF have any experience with results when eating in a shorter time frame?
Although I've been horrid about it this week (getting under 16hrs more often than not), I actually do better and see less bloating when I fast 17-18hrs. It was only when my work schedule forced me to fast for 17hrs (thus began doing so regularly) that I saw not only the drop in weight, but the sudden drop in bloating - both felt less puffy and stomach looked much much flatter (rather than rounded like I was in early stages of pregnancy). When I do 16hrs (or less) I don't see as much of a difference in bloating than I would have without IF at all, though the weight seems to stay steady so long as I reach 16hrs.
I've done OMAD/22-2 (accidentally) twice. It wasn't too bad but the next day I struggled quite a bit. I'll need to slowly increase my fasting time to get to OMAD. My poor tummy couldn't hold the volume of food needed for the energy to hold me over to my eating window the next day. Otherwise, I felt fine! I was super proud of myself for the accomplishment and definitely learned a lot about myself and how my body works.

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

😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
January focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:
2021 Focus:- Maintain weight < 150
- 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 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2021
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

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.
