@UTMom81 I ❤️ The new banner, but maybe a bit smaller?

Yes, I said I'd shrink it if folks like it. I was doing it before work this morning and ran out of time. It will be about the same size as the others have been.

I wasn’t criticizing! ❤️❤️❤️

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.

Round 139

Age: 39
Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 130.2
GW: 125

GW for this round: 128.5

Round 135 (10): 136.6 to 133.6 (-3.0 lbs)
Round 136 (11): 133.6 to 133.2 (-0.4 lbs)
Round 137 (12): 133.2 to 131.8 (-1.4 lbs)
Round 138 (13): 131.8 to 130.2 (-1.6 lbs)

Goals for this round:

- Finish the beginner plank challenge
- Complete my Apple Fitness challenge for January: Earn a total of 25,900 Move calories this month.
- Get below 129 lbs

1/22 - 130.2 - Starting this round at the same weight as the end of the last one. I’m happy that the drop held, but we’ll see about tomorrow. Friday is our family movie night and I’ve budgeted calories for popcorn and a drink, but it will still be a sodium hit. I did 45 minutes of cardio this morning and about 10 minutes of weights - I meant to do 20 but the kids needed me and I didn’t get back to it. I’ll just have to fit it in tomorrow.

1/23 - DNW - Not a great day yesterday. I don’t know the final calorie total, but I definitely indulged in too many snacks and sweets on top of the popcorn. Chocolate is my big weakness - once I have any I start craving more and then I start justifying to myself why “one more” is ok. Well, the damage is done and today is a new day. I’m not facing the scale until tomorrow though. I still got some exercise in this morning despite the kids getting up early, and just snuck in my plank while they had lunch.

1/24 - 130.8

1/25 - 129.6 - I’m sorry I didn’t get around to checking in yesterday! It turned into a crazy day where I didn’t get to exercise until the afternoon, so my morning weight was higher than usual. Our not-quite-two year old tried to climb out of the crib twice on Saturday, so yesterday we converted the crib to a toddler bed. Now I’m not likely to get any sleep for the foreseeable future as we try and get him to understand he has to STAY in bed at night. Oh, an he’s waking up at 5 AM, which makes my usual “get up at 6 and exercise before he wakes up” kinda problematic. Hopefully things will settle into a new routine soon.

1/26 - 129.8 - I wasn’t expecting the sub-130 weight to stick, so that was a nice surprise! After the initial fight (he was just so excited he didn’t want to sleep), my little guy slept all night and didn’t get up until 7! It let me get a good workout in and hopefully I’ll have enough energy to keep up with both kids today. I want to do some Beat Saber or Just Dance tonight too in order to get my calorie burn up or I won’t hit the January challenge on my watch.

1/27 - 130.2 - Super sore in my legs, shoulders and back this morning. I’m hoping that means I’m holding onto water which is causing the weight increase. It’s cold and rainy here too, so it’s tough to get the motivation to get up and move. Closing in on the end of my plank challenge - today was a light day but I’m feeling very confident that I’ll be able to do the full two minutes.

1/28 - 130.2 - Still holding right around 130. So hard not to get into my head when the scale doesn’t move, even when I KNOW I’m doing it right and my calories burned are greater than my calories eaten. I’ve considered not weighing as often, but I’m afraid that will make it worse rather than better. I have 4 more days (including today) to finish my Apple Fitness January challenge and I’ve got 3,170 calories to go. It’s doable but I’ll definitely need to add in some extra workouts to get there.

Day1▪︎Fr•1/22-209.5 (Th/21-1pm, 4:30pm, 10pm~16hrs) 64g carbs.🚫*did not dry fast* It was not the day for it. LATER, (too late) I ate one of the jumbo blueberry flax wheat bran muffins that I made for my son (he's been dropping hints for a week, lol) and husband. It was worth the calories and the carbs.

Day2▪︎Sa•1/23- DNW (Fr/22- 4:30pm, 6:30pm~18.5hrs) 65g carbs.Another bran flax muffin, another high carb day. Experiencing some TMI (unusual for me), the reason for eating muffin, but stewed prunes work much better for me. 🚫no more muffins

Day3▪︎Su•1/24- DNW (Sa/23- 3pm, 4:30pm~20hrs) 22g carbs. Well yes I did eat another muffin. I was hungry this morning. Today we celebrated our 1st Grandson's Bday. The muffin kept me full all day and safe from wanting somethng even more carb and calorie laden. I'm good.

Day4▪︎Mo•1/25- 209.8 (Su/24- 11:30am, 6:30pm, 8:30pm~19hrs) 53g carbs. Not so bad. I'll take it after a few high carb days, because I have to, right? 😏

Day/Weight/Comment
01/21 …..205.4 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/22 …..205.2 ….. I am inviting my friend over tonight (the one that always brings me high calorie foods without notice) for dinner. I am making low calorie / low carb shish-kabobs. This time it’s MY choice for the menu lol. My friend is a friend of 20 years. He is male and can eat things without gaining which just isn’t true for this female post-menopausal body! No matter how many times I tell him, he just doesn’t get it. Anyway, I hope to dip into the 204’s by tomorrow or the next day. Persisting……..

01/23 …..206.2 ….. A wonderful low cal/carb dinner with my friend. Then, late night pop-tarts with milk. Just don’t do it folks!

01/24 …..206.2 ….. Drats! Tired today. Slept 3 hours 47 minutes.

01/25 …..208.2 ….. An unfair weight for what I ate but I had little to no movement yesterday. A very restful day. Back on track today is my hope. Shocking scale has awaken me!

01/26 …..207.0 ….. I’m not sure why it jumped so high yesterday (I checked it several times) or why it reduced so much overnight, but I’ll take it as inspiration to get these numbers moving back down again. However, I know I am not as strong as I was early in my journey. I’ve got to work on the mind and spirit too.

01/27 …..206.6 ….. I am glad to see a drop but I must be honest. I didn’t lose nearly half a pound because I got in a lot of physical fitness or I watched my portion sizes. I didn’t drop because I carefully balanced my macros and made very informed choices. It was a very busy day with my time schedule and I ended up eating OMAD. That caused overall lower calories for the day and that is the end of the story. I’m glad to be a tad lighter today, but honestly, I still have so much to learn and to implement. I did get over 7 hours of sleep last night also. UNHEARD of for this 4 hour per night girl! I am Still on the journey of enlightenment overall.

01/28 …..207.6 ….. No TMI x3. We’ll see what the next 3 days bring. However, I don’t see me hitting my goal this round and it’s such a simple goal. Disappointed. Back to 4.5 hrs sleep.

01/29 …..xxxxx …..

01/30 …..xxxxx …..

01/31 …..xxxxx …..

My Goal is to get my 10,000 steps in daily (like I used to!)

STEPS REPORTED ARE FROM DAY BEFORE

01/22/21 10,238 steps.
01/23/21 7229 steps. Busy with dinner guest. I made a nice low cal/low carb dinner but not much activity.\
01/24/21 7123 steps.
01/25/21 4024 steps. Pitiful!
01/26/21 5869. I’m just not moving enough in my new retirement phase of my life. I must make an inside plan since outside is too treacherous for a fall-risk person like me!
01/27/21 4302 busy day but not with a lot of walking involved.
01/28/21 4103 steps. Lots of company today at home.

Previous days

01/22 117.4 Our scale has been weird lately along with my salt intake, so I don’t really know how much I actually weigh aha. I wish I had one of the old school scales that you were able to visually balance and then step on it. That would be ideal.
I hit Trader Joe’s today after PT and got myself some staples(I won’t list the staples) and a few fun things to try: Pork and ginger soup dumplings, coconut cream whole milk Greek yogurt, and artichoke, kale dip made with Greek yogurt, and a couple different types of crackers to go with it. I plan on having the dumplings tonight with a big salad if my husband wants take out. I’ll grab him take out and make myself the alternative. The dumplings are only 270 calories for a box of six. I’m excited to try them because I’ve read great things about them! The dip, crackers and yogurt will be my snack/mini lunch today. Happy Friday everyone!
01/23 116.6 Last night I ended up getting takeout with my husband, but I made it fit calorie wise. I was a little over but not enough to wreck my entire week. I decided that weight loss for me isn’t sustainable if I don’t make takeout fit into my life because by Friday night, we need a break from cooking/dishes/etc. We got Buffalo Wild Wings, he ordered what he wanted, and I got a black bean burger but omitted the ranch dressing (saving 170 calories) and selected no salt on my fries (saving tons of sodium). I also finished the wine I had in the fridge from last weekend (1 large glass worth~9 or 10 oz). Those little changes made a difference for me and I’m even down somehow from yesterday morning. The body is so weird… but I’ll take it.
Today, breakfast was two slices of high fiber toast with cream cheese on it and two mini dark chocolate peanut butter cups melted in (I had a chocolate craving and this stretched the chocolate flavor and I also stirred in some inulin fiber too), two eggs, and an apple cut up. It really hit the spot and clocked in at around 700 calories but it fits within my day(30 g protein, 58g carbs, and 37g fat so it was pretty balanced). My snack will be the artichoke kale dip with Akmak crackers and a fiberful peanut butter bar. Dinner will be panko crusted chicken breast with a large salad topped with cranberry goat cheese, sesame honey cashews, and raspberry vinegar.

01/24 Didn’t weigh today, just didn’t have a chance to before I drank and ate. Food was good today and I had a couple of non scale victories the past 2 days. Yesterday and today, I was able to resist fast food when given the opportunity to have it. Instead of getting myself a frosty last night I sliced up a banana and popped it in the freezer for a bit to have as a snack to go with my dinner. The sweetness and texture of the partially frozen banana did the trick for me. Today I just didn’t want it even though my husband did.
Today, I ate at maintenance because I was just hungry. Food was healthy overall but looking at the diary, the protein was a bit low. I feel like I definitely need to bump Breakfast was a failed attempt but still edible version of high fiber pancakes with a maple yogurt sauce instead of pure syrup, dinner was peanut noodles with whole wheat spaghetti topped with two eggs for protein and an orange for dessert, then a snack was akmak crackers with 4 tbs of the Greek yogurt artichoke kale dip.

01/25 117.4 Have a solid day of food planned. Breakfast will be a high protein smoothie with banana, cocoa powder, inulin fiber, oat fiber, plain egg white protein powder, Greek yogurt, and topped with sesame honey cashews plus some toast with butter on the side. Not sure about my snack. Dinner will be ground pork on top of bulgur with peanut sauce, carrots and peas.
01/26 116.8 Did not post. The day got away from me.
01/27 116.4 Wow, it has been a busy couple of days at work. My food has been really on point though and I’ve been getting a lot of exercise in as well. Didn’t have any discernable symptoms from the vaccine this weekend, so that was also a relief. I was only tired on Monday because our kitty decided he wanted to meow alllll night. The joys of having a cat with kidney disease (apparently it causes them to meow more often but his condition is stable and hasn’t progressed at all since he was dx’d a few years ago).
Dinner tonight was roasted chicken legs, roasted butternut squash, kohlrabi, and bulgur. It totally hit the spot tonight. I also got some wanderlust earlier today and started looking at hotels in Myrtle Beach because we want to go back there this summer. We went in 2019 and had a lot of fun just relaxing on the beach and walking to the arcades/the boardwalk at night.

01/28 116.8 Breakfast was solid today. I made a chocolate hack today by mixing 2 tbs light cream cheese with 2 mini dark chocolate pb cups and inulin and melting it in the microwave. Then, I put 4 grams of butter in a pan and made a chocolate grilled cream cheese sandwich of sorts on whole wheat high fiber bread. It was divine and I’m still stuffed from it and that was over 3 hours ago. It tasted like chocolate cheesecake and I savored every bite of it with all the different textures/taste. I also had a small apple, cottage cheese for some extra protein and frozen dark cherries on top of the cream cheese. It clocked in at 731 calories but if I burn at least 150 calories during my planned spin bike ride, it still leaves about 700 calories for the day. I plan on having a light snack and some sort and soup for dinner… So, that plan should be doable. I’ve definitely been on a chocolate fix this week for whatever reason. I usually get chocolate cravings in the middle and end of my cycle. The body is pretty interesting/weird when you start to pay attention to it. I'm also creeping towards the highest weight of my cycle so the next 4 or 5 days will be interesting.

I’m also excited to pick up yogurt made from a dairy farm near us today. We’ll also be getting eggs and raw milk. My husband wanted to try the raw milk to see if he has the same reaction to it as he gets from pasteurized dairy. So, that’ll be an interesting experiment. Normally, after eating any sort of dairy he gets a lot of phlegm production, so he’s curious if it’ll be the same. I’ll report back in case anyone is interested.

Goals: Yoga every day! Spin bike at least 5 times per week with at least one 45 – 60 minute ride per week, two 30 minute rides, and two 20 minute rides.
01/22 50 minute heart opening vinyasa yoga video and I plan on jumping on the spin bike in a few for a 20ish minute ride. Then, I’ll do my afternoon walk when I’m done with work.
01/23 I started my day with an hour yoga video and then a killer 30 minute spin bike video. Then, I’ll have a bit of a walk later today when have to run into the city to get vaccinated.
01/24 My husband and I went for a walk at a nearby reservoir clocking in at 1.5ish miles and then I did about 15 minutes of yoga. My body was tired today, so I listened to it and rested it a bit.
01/25 I plan on doing a 30 minute spin bike video and some yoga today. Didn’t have a chance to do yoga this morning because I needed sleep instead.
01/26 Did 30 minute ride and a 45 minute yoga video I think it was.
01/27 Did a 45 minute core focused yoga video this morning and a 60 minute spin bike ride today. The bike ride got extended a little because I talked to my boss during it for like 10 minutes, so I just kept moving my legs even though I was talking. The music for the ride was super fun and had a bunch of random throwback songs she put together for a 30th birthday themed ride for herself. I also went for a 20ish minute walk at the end of my work day.
01/28 Completed a 45 minute yoga video focused on wraps and plan on doing a 20 minute spin ride in a bit. My legs are sore from my heavy hills ride on Tuesday and then my 60 miunte ride yesterday. So, I plan on taking it a little easier today with the 20 minute ride. I might use our massage gun thingamajig to see if it helps the soreness. Happy almost Friday everyone!

Round 138: 134.6 to 129.8 (-4.8lbs)

Goals for this round:
-at least 8 glasses of water daily
-pre-track as much as possible...and stick to it
-move at least 30 minutes a day
-asleep by 10:30!

01/22 - 130.8. I tried out a couple new recipes yesterday, which means more opportunities to "sample"...which would be fine, except for when it happens after I've officially finished eating/tracking for the day! An additional goal for this round (this is for my benefit, as I tend to forget): no new recipes that require testing/sampling!
Stairs, walking, free weights, and an online Zumba class yesterday. I'm not used to having so much energy! Definitely a NSV!

01/23 -132.4. Yesterday was a little rough for me, but thanks to so many positive examples on this forum, I decided to stick with the group and with my weightloss/healthy-habit-forming efforts. Thank you!

01/24 - 132.4. Staying consistent and plugging along. Walked and drank water and tracked. Busy day but got to connect with some friends via zoom. Did some meal prep today and video-chatted with long-distance family. Will try again for the 10:30 pm bedtime!

01/25 - 135. I am meeting my daily goals, including earlier bedtime, and I feel *so* much more energetic and stronger. Not sure what's going on with the scale, but I'll just finish out this round with my same approach, and potentially revise it for the next round. At this point, I'll continue weighing myself daily more as data collection and to help me stay accountable. Honestly, I felt great this morning...until I weighed myself. Which ultimately has been good for me today, as it prompted me to ask myself what my true motives are for this effort. Now I just feel too stubborn (and curious as to how this will play out) to quit!

01/26 - 133.4. I've got everything pre-tracked for today and will stick to it!

01/27 - 134. Honestly, no idea. But I feel positive about how I did yesterday, got some extra walking and calisthenics in, got plenty of water, and I've got my plan in place for today.

01/28 - 132.2. A little sore, which is a good sign for me! Accomplished all my goals yesterday. I'm tracked and set for today, currently walking indoors as I type this. Not much more to report!

01/22 - 210.0
01/23 - 209.4 (Pretty happy with this. Didn't do much exercise yesterday - though for the first time in three weeks of trying to limit calories I was really tempted yesterday to binge. I didn't - but think it might start to get harder!)
01/24 - I didn't weigh myself yesterday as I wasn't at home in the morning.
01/25 - 209.8 (slight disappointment at going up, but I had a pretty indulgent weekend, so not a bad outcome really).
01/26 - 209.6 (this is ok - had an ok day yesterday. Under calorie goal and went for a long walk which my fitbit thought was a bike ride?!)
01/27 - 209.2 (within calories yesterday, but only had a fairly short walk as it was raining)
01/28 - 209.6 (disappointing to go up - hopefully just water weight as was below calories yesterday)

JGM10D Round 139

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!😷

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

01/23 193.5 Staying focused on my goals

01/25 193 Staying the course for the win...back to basics and loving my simple meals.

01/28. 191.7 No deprivation, restriction, or hunger in my home...fragrant Thai Coconut Curry chock full of veggies served over riced cauliflower....yum! Today I reminded myself that my perceptions/choices determine my world.

@GrandmaJackie I noticed in the introduction that you wrote in green Keto as a goal. I have been assuming that it was one of your goals. Have I been mistaken and is one of the goals for this thread to follow a Keto diet?

I appreciate being here and find it really helps to post every 10 days for a new challenge. Thank you for your efforts and am inspired by the wonderful people who post here.

@UTMom81 I ❤️ The new banner, but maybe a bit smaller?

Yes, I said I'd shrink it if folks like it. I was doing it before work this morning and ran out of time. It will be about the same size as the others have been.

I wasn’t criticizing! ❤️❤️❤️

Oh, but you were right! That would have been way too big in our thread. I didn't take it as criticism, sweet friend!

This group is just about accountability for wherever you are on your health/weightloss/fitness journey. Some folks do Keto, some do lower carb but not keto, some just count calories, some focus on balanced macros, some just do their best on any given day to simply hang in there! There are almost as many "plans" as there are folks who post here. But I think the one constant in this group is that we are here to support one another through the ups and downs that typically are a part of most weight loss journeys. We look for ways to lift each other up and encourage everyone to never give up on our goals.
