Had a wonderful BBQ yesterday which was very nice. My first one in 2 years!! I was proud of myself. I had a premier protein shake that morning late around 11:00 am and enjoyed myself in moderation and managed not to gain weight.

Monday is my official weigh-in day. I lost 4.4 lbs. since last Monday.
I am going to keep that as my weigh-in day in case I go back to WW. Yesterday was ok, maybe I gained from Saturday, and I did have some high sodium, but I was not over calories, so I am good. Going to get in a workout today. Hope all is well. Stay safe Everyone.

Yesterday was ok. I did not have a chance to work out. Not feeling it at all this week for the workouts. I will try to push myself. I am not even getting my step goal in so far 0/2. Good night

Happy with loss finally! So busy today but I am at least going to shoot for getting in my step goal today which is 5500 and do at least one 10 min spurt of something. (Bad knees but I modify and move forward)

Yesterday was crazy busy! Multi-tasking all day long lol but I made it without over-eating. Stuck to my computer though. Had so much to do at work. I work remotely most days now which is the result of pandemic. I went to Costco this morning to get in some steps before work and do some shopping. I will get in my steps today for sure. Already over 4500 steps… I did this also because I eat out once a week and chose today to go to Chipotle which is very high in sodium. I will still be under calories but may not see any movement tomorrow again on scale which is fine. I am drinking water and moving more today. So, we will see. Tomorrow morning I plan to get up early and wash my car if weather permits to get in some activity. Thanks for posts and support! I am enjoying the challenge. I have had time to read some of post since I have been posting and click "reactions" so that is something. Hope all is well. Please be well and stay safe.

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.

Round 165 goals: Pelo 3x/week; strength training 3x/week; 11,500 steps/day; <75 net carbs/day; lose as much weight as I can!
Looks like this round ends on the day I go to my doc for a follow up on the weight loss progress. On 8/15 when I saw her, she suggested MFP after my spending a few years-time both before and after pregnancy- stalled out around 230-240 despite my best efforts with IF. She gave me a goal of a 5% loss between then and this next follow up. Well, I’m currently at 13.6% lost. I’m looking forward to her reaction, I won’t lie! 😁
SW: 211.6
10/9 211.8 I can’t say I’m surprised by this tiny uptick, only surprised that it isn’t more! I spent almost the entire day on my feet yesterday- and usually when I spend time on my feet in the kitchen, I get some fluid retention. It used to be multiple pounds at a time, not just this tiny 0.2. So I’ll take it! I did pretty good yesterday. Food was on point, but I didn’t get all of my steps in. I was so exhausted from the past couple of days that I just couldn’t motivate myself to do anything other than crash once I finally finished in the kitchen last night. Today I’ll hit it though!
10/10 212.4 I guess the fluid retention from spending the past couple of days mostly on my feet waited till today to show up. I had a great day yesterday- 45 net carbs and hit my step goal. But alas, I was on my feet in the kitchen decorating a cake for about 4 hours. Oh well, at least I have an explanation for it!
10/11 211.4 There we go! Great day yesterday, even with a family dinner with out-of-town family that involved spaghetti and dessert. I took my own spaghetti squash along to eat in place of the regular pasta, and only had very small portions of dessert. Did go over my carb goal-88 net total all day- but came home, got my steps in, and got myself on the Pelo for 45 minutes! I’ve been feeling a little slacking on the weight loss lately, so today I’m recommitting to myself. I’m ready to rock this week!
10/12 210.8 I’m getting so close! I just want to see 209.8 by Monday! 35 net carbs yesterday, step goal achieved, and strength training done. Now to slay today!
10/13 211.4 I’m not sure what happened here. I’m beginning to wonder if I’m cutting my carbs too low. Finished the day at 51 net carbs, pelo ride done, and step goal achieved. I think I’m going to aim for the higher end of my carb goal for the next few days and see what happens. 209 is playing hard to get!
10/14 211.6 it’s the stress, I’m sure. I’ve had a very stressful week. I stuck to my food plan- finished yesterday with 73 net carbs. I fell about 1,500 steps short on my step goal, and postponed strength training till today because of everything going on. Back on track today!

If you eat zero carbs your body can still create sugar if it needs it. I think the issue might be the source of carbs. Just my 2 cents worth after researching and following low carb eating for the last 4+ years.
Fair point. Most of the carbs I do eat still come from veggies and a few berries. Sometimes I throw in some low carb bread or an Atkins bar, but that’s not every day. Otherwise, I eat mostly Whole Foods. I am wondering if maybe my body just operates better on a few more carbs than I’ve been eating lately, more like a low-moderate carb range. So I’ve decided to play around with it a little and eat a few more, still aiming to stay at 100 net or below.
What foods did your research show to be problematic?4 -
I'm in! Thank you, @quiltingjaine !

Round 165 (97th for me). I need this to help keep me on track.
@QuiltingJaine-thank you for setting up the new round.
Challenge for this round is to stay on track – I've been very lax over the last few days – any loss will be a win!
Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” sometime ago, but remember there is still a pandemic: Covid is still around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, always consider others.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/9 136.4 – 9.1 miles walked yesterday, not too bad a day food wise.
10/10 137.4 – 13.12 miles walked yesterday, good food day, guessing up bounce is still results of bad choices a few days ago. Hope that is the peak!
10/11 137 – no structured walking as travelled up 90 miles to celebrate DS's birthday, involved pizza, chicken legs, potato wedges, birthday cake etc. but no evening meal as we were not hungry after the return journey home!
10/12 137 – 9.53 miles walked yesterday, some unwise food choices means that I was 12 calories over, but could have been worse!
10/13 136.2 – 9.8 miles walked yesterday, then went to help DS in the house she has just bought; scraped 3 layers of wallpaper off the bedroom walls. Very good choices all day, but need to be consistent, really hoping I've turned the corner in getting back unto control.
10/14 136.2 – 11.79 miles walked yesterday, very good food choices, all calories & macros in limits.
10/15 136.2 – 5.52 miles walked yesterday pushing my 20 month old DGS in his buggy, 3.5 hours sitting in the car travelling up to do the caring. A few unwise choices 85 calories over.

**********************************************
10/9 149.0 (trend 151.4) Went out last night to a lovely new bar and grill in our little town, it uses all local ingredients and has lots of healthy options, I'm looking forward to eating there one day soon. Had a few too many drinks so woke up feeling really dehydrated which is probably why I had a loss as I was defo over calories.
10/10 150.8 (trend 151.3) Had a bit of a refeed day yesterday and didn't track calories too accurately. Enjoyed some good comfort food and lots of fruit and salad. Definitely holding onto water today but feeling a lot stronger after getting a bit weak and wibbly on low cals last week.
10/11 151.8 (151.4) Urgh, even the trend weight has gone up now. I have to remind myself that I may have over indulged this weekend but only by about 1000 above my calorie goal over the 3 days and should still be below maintenance. This is just water and tmi, surely. A few days of drinking lots of water and careful eating and I should be back on track, fingers crossed. Totm is due in a week so that's likely having an influence, gonna have to grit my teeth and stay the course.
10/12 152.2 (trend 151.5) Well. I seem to be responding to my weight shooting up by eating more and losing all self restraint. I don't want to go any further with this self sabotage but for some reason I can't stop it. I NEED to get my drive back before all my hard work unravels. Went out for a family meal last night as my daughter has been asking for ages, it's so hard to find healthy choices in some places. I didn't want a plain salad with chicken breast so the next best thing was a veggy lasagne with salad but there was sooo much cheese on it. Told myself I'd leave the garlic bread but I didn't. Then when I got home I got the munchies and ate crackers and cereal bars. Think I need to do a reset to get rid of these cravings.
10/13 150.2 (trend 151.3) Phew, ok! Totm came today so I can stop being so bloody emotional and get a grip! I am NOT destined to be fat forever, I AM in control of this, I CAN achieve my goals! Didn't do much better with self control yesterday but today is a new day and I feel much more focused and determined, no more wallowing!
10/14 149.6 (trend 151.1) Still dropping, good! Same weight as last Thursday but trend weight is almost 1lb lower, so that's progress! Had really bad cramps yesterday and all night, which isn't normal for me. Spent much of the evening on the sofa hurting, thankfully my cat Leesa was laid on my belly purring which really helped, bless her! I wonder if I'll get a loss this round, need to get below 149.0 for that. Food wasn't too bad, within calories but not very in control. I was craving eggs so had veggies with mayo for lunch and scrambled eggs for dinner.
10/15 148.8 (trend 150.8) Yay, a new low today! I'm surprised as I was over calories yesterday, I guess I must have dropped a load of water weight. I finished ripping out the old kitchen and now have no stove or kitchen sink so meals are gonna be a bit tricky for a while. I'll get the camping stove out but camping gas is expensive so I'll try not to use it much. Need to try my best to stay on plan this weekend and not be tempted by takeaways.

Follow the bouncing ball. I ate within my calorie budget yesterday, even after forgetting that I stopped at the drive-through for a Culver’s mini concrete mixer. I remembered and added it right before bedtime. I thought I was rocking the tracker but it suddenly went from fantastic to just good. 😊
Drive-Through Calories (DTC’s…did I just invent a phrase?) are hard to remember and log. Used in a sentence, “DTC’s are just around the next corner, ready to ambush you..”

I really like that, Drive-Thru Calories. Those things are probably the most dangerous calories. So easy to heap a lot on and so hard to remember to track! Oh, and so, so easy and convenient to access.4 -

Just for the record used to be an athlete a long, long time ago. Used to teach Aerobics and Step Aerobics. Used to LOVE exercise.
Nowadays, I don't exercise at all. Why, oh why not? How can I go from loving exercise and doing tons of exercise to nothing at all?
Going from low blood pressure to being on medication for high blood pressure. What have I done to myself?!

10/12 154.8 dad discharged from hospital today. Put on hospice & moved to group care home. Horrible experience so far. Husband & I extremely stressed. May change hospice agency.
10/13 154.8 🙂 over 10,500 steps. However nightmare I’m living is continuing. Hubby & I got no sleep last night as we spent the time trying to get food, medicines & supplies that hospice should have had ready. Also discharge instructions got changed by new dr (hospitalist) that didn’t know anything about dads complex case. Hospital was supposed to send important supplies & food with him & didnt. Takes time to get it in.
10/14 154.8 🙂 nightmare got worse yesterday. Yesterday, dads food came in about 2am. Jtube clogged about 5am. Had to choose either ER or let him go.., Chose ER. While there, my mom had to be rushed to ER. She’s in a different city. Different hospital. I stayed with dad while husband went to be with her.
Dads tube was cleared!!! He returned to group home at about 8:30pm
Mom not good. Non responsive. She had phizer Covid booster day before. Also has uti. So mental status could be from either. Fever can be from either.
I went to see her late about 1:30am She is admitted but no room yet.
We only got 1 hr sleep that night.

10/08 …..185.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
10/09 …..184.0 ….. Wow! Is this ever a crazy wild ride! Up & Down without changing much. TMI helps. Watching sodium a bit more. I am monitoring which foods affect me in a negative way-also the one’s that help the most. Tough to do with so many physical variables but It’s time I get to know me on a more personal level. Good luck everyone as we all find our way. Thank you @quiltingjane for continuing this challenge.
10/10 …..185.4 ….. After a late night yogurt that I didn’t plan for, I was over by about 100 calories. My daughter and DGS moved back in late last night after a fight at home. This time she even brought some furniture so it looks serious. She brought Chinese food which we split. Maybe water retention today too?
10/11 …..185.6 ….. (trend weight 188.1) My daughter brought in over $150.00 worth of Halloween Candy she had at home. OMGosh. I’m in trouble! Doing my best but my willpower is not the greatest. It’s like me being in a restaurant where I actually have to practice restraint, and we all know I haven’t mastered that skill yet. Oh Boy! She bought the candy for a costume Halloween party she was going to have which is now cancelled due to her current circumstances. I will try hard to do good today.
10/12 …..185.6 ….. (trend weight 187.9)Travel today. I was hoping to see a bit of a drop today since yesterday was a very good day with diet and exercise too. Especially before a day of travel and an expected bump-up tomorrow. Oh well, trusting the process. I’m glad to be tracking my trending weight again now that it’s level off to where it was. A small drop this morning was appreciated.
10/13 …..187.0 ….. (trend weight 187.8)The expected uptick after travel. Lunch was out-of-town, dinner at home was very late as I wasn’t hungry for a long time. I hope to have a good day today. My stress levels are way up. Lots of disciplinary problems with the grandson age 3. His whole life has been uprooted so I understand his frustration. However, the kicking, screaming and writhing on the floor is trying. He’s a big boy and even the two of us together cannot get him standing to dress him after bath, before he leaves, etc. I am promising myself I won’t stress eat. Dinner tonight? I dunno yet. How do I feed my diet, her hunger after work, DGS taste and what she only allows him (strict on his dyes, sugars, etc) and my son’s Autistic eating disorder where he wants all white food (usually carb laden). My house will be full again today with the reno and the one handyman’s family sitting in my kitchen all day. 7 people expected total to come in today to work. Some will arrive shortly and be here until about 9:00 or 9:30 pm. Several more will work the evening shift only and will leave by 8:30 pm. All will be here during the traditional dinner hour. I’d pull my hair out but it’s already falling out again on it’s own. Enough of a rant….sorry for that…..gonna go step on a few more small, very hard plastic and 3 dimensional transformer robots.
10/14 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)
10/15 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)
10/16 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)
10/17 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)
10/18 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)
How about something really simple like baked or grilled chicken breast with cauliflower and salad. All white foods for your son, no dyes or additives for the grandson, and very healthy for you.
But also, remember this is a journey. Do your best to be your best, but give yourself some forgiveness too. It sounds like this is a very trying time for you. Just keep in mind to do your best, but don't let your eating healthy and "dieting" add more stress to you than you are already dealing with. Stress has as much of a detrimental effect on our bodies as extra weight does.9 -

**********************************************
10/9 149.0 (trend 151.4) Went out last night to a lovely new bar and grill in our little town, it uses all local ingredients and has lots of healthy options, I'm looking forward to eating there one day soon. Had a few too many drinks so woke up feeling really dehydrated which is probably why I had a loss as I was defo over calories.
10/10 150.8 (trend 151.3) Had a bit of a refeed day yesterday and didn't track calories too accurately. Enjoyed some good comfort food and lots of fruit and salad. Definitely holding onto water today but feeling a lot stronger after getting a bit weak and wibbly on low cals last week.
10/11 151.8 (151.4) Urgh, even the trend weight has gone up now. I have to remind myself that I may have over indulged this weekend but only by about 1000 above my calorie goal over the 3 days and should still be below maintenance. This is just water and tmi, surely. A few days of drinking lots of water and careful eating and I should be back on track, fingers crossed. Totm is due in a week so that's likely having an influence, gonna have to grit my teeth and stay the course.
10/12 152.2 (trend 151.5) Well. I seem to be responding to my weight shooting up by eating more and losing all self restraint. I don't want to go any further with this self sabotage but for some reason I can't stop it. I NEED to get my drive back before all my hard work unravels. Went out for a family meal last night as my daughter has been asking for ages, it's so hard to find healthy choices in some places. I didn't want a plain salad with chicken breast so the next best thing was a veggy lasagne with salad but there was sooo much cheese on it. Told myself I'd leave the garlic bread but I didn't. Then when I got home I got the munchies and ate crackers and cereal bars. Think I need to do a reset to get rid of these cravings.
10/13 150.2 (trend 151.3) Phew, ok! Totm came today so I can stop being so bloody emotional and get a grip! I am NOT destined to be fat forever, I AM in control of this, I CAN achieve my goals! Didn't do much better with self control yesterday but today is a new day and I feel much more focused and determined, no more wallowing!
10/14 149.6 (trend 151.1) Still dropping, good! Same weight as last Thursday but trend weight is almost 1lb lower, so that's progress! Had really bad cramps yesterday and all night, which isn't normal for me. Spent much of the evening on the sofa hurting, thankfully my cat Leesa was laid on my belly purring which really helped, bless her! I wonder if I'll get a loss this round, need to get below 149.0 for that. Food wasn't too bad, within calories but not very in control. I was craving eggs so had veggies with mayo for lunch and scrambled eggs for dinner.
10/15 148.8 (trend 150.8) Yay, a new low today! I'm surprised as I was over calories yesterday, I guess I must have dropped a load of water weight. I finished ripping out the old kitchen and now have no stove or kitchen sink so meals are gonna be a bit tricky for a while. I'll get the camping stove out but camping gas is expensive so I'll try not to use it much. Need to try my best to stay on plan this weekend and not be tempted by takeaways.

Do you have a grill? You could always use your grill like a gas stove. I have done that before when my gas range ran out of gas in the middle of prepping dinner. If not, maybe a friend or family member would let you use their kitchen for an hour or 2 to prep some things for the next few days that you can then just pop in the microwave to heat up.6 -
Challenge Start Weight: 73.4
10 day Goal Weight: 72kg
Ultimate Goal Weight: 53kg
Goals for this challenge period are to get 10000 steps in every day and workout 6 times a week.
9 73.3 Met all of my goals again yesterday. Unfortunately, I didn't get my workout in. I am finding it very hard to find the motivation to do it. I need to find a time in the day that works for me.
10 73.9 This was a bit expected. Did some late snacking on popcorn due to being up and out later than expected. Ended up eating some of my exercise calories back due to unexpected events happening during the day and having to make te best choices I could on the fly. Considering I didn't track my food until I got home around 10pm, I think I did alright for the day. I did get a nice long hike in yesterday, so definitely met my step goal.
11 73.3 Back to where it should be. Probably would have been lower, but I made the mistake of eating a slice of Sbarro pizza without looking up the calories first. My lunch ended up being 1000 calories, which is basically all of my days calories!! Luckily, I had only a small, light breakfast, and then only had some salad for dinner with a tzatziki dressing. Managed to com in just a bit over my allowed calories for the day, but made up for the overage with 177000 steps, and some cleaning and a bit of core work. I will not eat anything again (at least anything like that) with out logging it first!
12 72.7 I actually jogged for the first time in years yesterday! It was amazing. C25K day 1 complete
13 72.7 Had some late night popcorn at a friends house while watching a movie. A huge NSV for me though. I measured out 175ml of white wine and used it to make myself 4 spritzers mixing it with bubbly water with a bit of all natural flavoring. Delicious with the added benefits of limited calories and no hangover the next day!
14 73.1
15 73.0 late night snacking has gotten me the last 2 nights. I have also not been managin to get my workout in due to some outside influences. I need to work on getting my workout down first thing in the day so that nothing can stop me from it in.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/9 / 204.4 / Did well with my first day at my dad's yesterday. I love being with people who you feel safe with (meaning he is completely supportive and doesn't judge my choices or try to food push). A bit harder to get my normal exercise in here but that's okay - just scaling back the food accordingly. Happy to see this lower weight wasn't just a fluke yesterday!
10/10 / 206.4 / My dad's town has two take-out options and the favorite when we're here is always Chinese. I tried to order as best I could and eat reasonably but you can't stay away from the sodium gain afterwards. We are going to Thanksgiving dinner 1 of 2 today.
10/11 / 206 / Had good control during Thanksgiving dinner #1 yesterday. One more to get through today and then I'm back on the road tomorrow heading for home. A bit out of my exercise routine while traveling which is fine but it will feel good to get back to it.
10/12 / 205.6 / Got through Thanksgiving dinner #2... enjoyed the yummy food without overdoing it 11 hour drive home today, will hit the Peloton bike when we get home.
10/13 / 204.6 / Back home and I started the day with a ton of exercise.. back to work Friday so taking advantage of these last couple of days to move my body as much as I can.
10/14 / 205 / Went for a nice long walk to my eye doctor yesterday, rode the Peloton, and ate all my meals at home. Great to be back home. There's still time to meet my GW for this round!
10/15 / 207.4 / Had an amazing hike for our last day off yesterday. Back to work today.. woke up at 230 am and couldn't get back to sleep so after tossing and turning I got up, weighed in and got to work on the bike and with some yoga. Given I'm off schedule this weird weight fluctuation likely makes sense. Will have a good day ahead! Happy Friday

10/14 - DNW, yesterday started off well, worked non stop on some office computer problems but didn't manage to get them fixed, so yesterday evening after quickly taking my daughter to and from her pony activity I went back to the office around 8pm and worked till past 10pm. Unfortunately -through boredom and frustration - I fell in the office reserves of sweets and chocolates. Today is another day, after 5hrs sleep I'm craving sweets and carbs, I'll let you know tomorrow if I caved in to temptation
10/15 - 74.3 (163.1) + 1.3lbs. So there's the bounce from the other day : yesterday I managed to stay away from carbs so it's probably more the case of those office chocolates from Wednesday ! I have a busy weekend planned, tomorrow we're going to Germany to spend the day at a theme park, food will not be great nor keto. I'll bring some items with me but who really wants to carry around bags of foods on roller coasters After all I do plan on enjoying the day, it'll be a nice break from my every day life as it is for the moment!

10/10: DNW - had Thanksgiving dinner tonight! Ate a bit of everything and didn't go for seconds as I was really full! We had two kinds of pies with vanilla ice cream for dessert. I went on a 20 mins walk before dinner! Planning to start a 2 week workout challenge. Hopefully I can keep track of exercise in these notes too. Happy Thanksgiving to any Canadians celebrating in the forum!!
10/11: 57.4 kg - Thanksgiving gains lol
10/12: DNW
10/13: 57.3 kg - still working through Thanksgiving gains. Started my 2 week workout challenge today!! 😊 (Writing new section on my updates for the challenge to help keep myself accountable) Have been eating leftovers from Thanksgiving, but making sure I portion my meals. Drank more water today than yesterday too as I was a bit dehydrated and woke up with a headache. I went to the post office today to deliver an Etsy order which gave me a bit of walking time during work!!
10/14: 57.5 kg - made egg noodles with chicken and cabbage broth, and miso soup for lunch. Didn't do my workout but cleaned the house instead so id say it's still a win! Also went on an afternoon walk!!
10/15: 57.4 kg - did my morning work out as soon i woke up. Gained quite a bit this week and feeling a little bummed lol

Day/Running Ave/Comment
10/09 - 181.6
Too much and too salty — pizza! Leftovers today, but I’ll try to watch everything else. I’ve decided to record just my running average weight for a while — it’s a more consistent record of where I am. Happy Saturday!
10/10 - 181.2
Well, that was a surprise! Weighed in at 180.2 this morning, so weight and running average both the lowest they’ve been in well over a year. I figured I’d be up with higher calories, but I was just plain hungry yesterday, so I ate. Another reminder of the weird vicissitudes of weight management.
10/11 - 181
Weight stayed the same, average trending down, despite higher calories the past 3 days. I won’t count on that, but it confirms that it’s good sometimes to break from the very low count. Anyway, aiming lower (~1200) the next few days. I’ve been in the 180s since Jan 2020 (up from 130 in Sept 2018–horrifying!) and I’d really like to get out of the 80s to feel I’m really on my way back down.
10/12 - 180.6
Closer and closer.
10/13 - 180.4
Still weighing in at 180.2, but it’s lowering my running average and I know I due for a drop as my calories have been low the past two days. I’m off to one of my favorite parks for a walk with the puppy in a few minutes. It’s a beautiful day. Wishing you the same!
10/14 - 180.1
So close! Weighed in at 180 this morning with average close behind. I’m feeling much more in control, with lower calories without feeling hungry. Pup Rory and I had a lovely 2+ mile walk yesterday, which is about his limit for now, especially with the warm weather we’re (still) having. Off for another in a few minutes. Have a lovely!
10/15 - 180
The scale is a tease! But I’m hoping to leave the 180s by the end of this round. Rainy day, but I’m hoping to sneak in a walk between showers. Happy Friday!

Follow the bouncing ball. I ate within my calorie budget yesterday, even after forgetting that I stopped at the drive-through for a Culver’s mini concrete mixer. I remembered and added it right before bedtime. I thought I was rocking the tracker but it suddenly went from fantastic to just good. 😊
Drive-Through Calories (DTC’s…did I just invent a phrase?) are hard to remember and log. Used in a sentence, “DTC’s are just around the next corner, ready to ambush you..”
10/14: 207.0
I think it is safe to say I must be eating at maintenance instead of eating for loss. My current range is 205-210. It might be logging errors causing this.
10/15: 205.4
I actually got a measuring cup out this morning to measure how much cereal I wanted. This is an exaggeration, but I was reminded that “my” cup is the world’s quart.

@Nicoles0305 Definitely grains are problematic for me. We no longer keep bread, pasta or rice in the house. I even gain if I eat too many good vegetables in a day - asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower. Those are my favorite veggies. Pre-pandemic I was roasting cauliflower and broccoli for a snack (rather than eating lunch) when my DH was playing cards but too much is too much. It took me awhile to realize the veggies were an issue - that’s part of my “mantra” to wait 2-3 days to see the impact. Also, what affects me may not affect you. Experimentation. I currently aim to stay below 25g of total carbs. More recent studies show that some people are, in fact, affected by all fiber.

@_JeffreyD_ Your post reminded me of an 8 year old I once knew. His mom asked me to give him the “proper portion” of cereal. That 3/4 c looked pretty pathetic in the 3 cup bowl. He proceeded to fill the bowl to the rim. No wonder he was “plump.”5

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.

Let’s do this!
Round 5 for me.
161 SW: 222.2
EW: 221.6
162 EW: 218.6
163 EW: 211.8
164 EW: 211.6
Round 165 goals: Pelo 3x/week; strength training 3x/week; 11,500 steps/day; <75 net carbs/day; lose as much weight as I can!
Looks like this round ends on the day I go to my doc for a follow up on the weight loss progress. On 8/15 when I saw her, she suggested MFP after my spending a few years-time both before and after pregnancy- stalled out around 230-240 despite my best efforts with IF. She gave me a goal of a 5% loss between then and this next follow up. Well, I’m currently at 13.6% lost. I’m looking forward to her reaction, I won’t lie! 😁
SW: 211.6
10/9 211.8 I can’t say I’m surprised by this tiny uptick, only surprised that it isn’t more! I spent almost the entire day on my feet yesterday- and usually when I spend time on my feet in the kitchen, I get some fluid retention. It used to be multiple pounds at a time, not just this tiny 0.2. So I’ll take it! I did pretty good yesterday. Food was on point, but I didn’t get all of my steps in. I was so exhausted from the past couple of days that I just couldn’t motivate myself to do anything other than crash once I finally finished in the kitchen last night. Today I’ll hit it though!
10/10 212.4 I guess the fluid retention from spending the past couple of days mostly on my feet waited till today to show up. I had a great day yesterday- 45 net carbs and hit my step goal. But alas, I was on my feet in the kitchen decorating a cake for about 4 hours. Oh well, at least I have an explanation for it!
10/11 211.4 There we go! Great day yesterday, even with a family dinner with out-of-town family that involved spaghetti and dessert. I took my own spaghetti squash along to eat in place of the regular pasta, and only had very small portions of dessert. Did go over my carb goal-88 net total all day- but came home, got my steps in, and got myself on the Pelo for 45 minutes! I’ve been feeling a little slacking on the weight loss lately, so today I’m recommitting to myself. I’m ready to rock this week!
10/12 210.8 I’m getting so close! I just want to see 209.8 by Monday! 35 net carbs yesterday, step goal achieved, and strength training done. Now to slay today!
10/13 211.4 I’m not sure what happened here. I’m beginning to wonder if I’m cutting my carbs too low. Finished the day at 51 net carbs, pelo ride done, and step goal achieved. I think I’m going to aim for the higher end of my carb goal for the next few days and see what happens. 209 is playing hard to get!
10/14 211.6 it’s the stress, I’m sure. I’ve had a very stressful week. I stuck to my food plan- finished yesterday with 73 net carbs. I fell about 1,500 steps short on my step goal, and postponed strength training till today because of everything going on. Back on track today!
10/15 210.4 Down finally, after a much less stressful day yesterday! I changed things up and ended the day at 105 net carbs. I hit my step goal, and also rode the Pelo. I changed my routine on that too, so maybe that helped a bit too. Who knows? Our bodies are mysterious creatures at times! I’m heading into this camping weekend with a plan, and I’m determined to still see 209 before that decimal come Monday morning. I got this!

It’s really so interesting how different we can be. I’ve known for a year or more now that cheesecake makes me feel terrible. However, ice cream not nearly as much. Yet I can eat cheese like nobody’s business and not have a single issue. I really think it’s the sugar-dairy combo that is so problematic to me.
Soy affects me too. If I make something that uses more than a tbsp or two of soy sauce per serving, the scale shows it in a big way the next day.
Too much fruit in a single day can drastically slow me down, as can most refined grains. I’ve been making sourdough bread fairly regularly for more than a year now, and can eat that without issue. I suspect that’s got something to do with the natural fermentation process involved in making it. All those probiotics seem to help!
However, lately I’ve been noticing cooked cauliflower makes my stomach hurt. Specifically, the frozen riced variety, which makes me so sad. Cauliflower is a favorite of mine, in any form. But my stomach, within 5 minutes of the first bite, starts hurting something terrible. I can eat it raw with no issues though, go figure!
