@jspecies11 They REALLY need to change that hateful “Disagree” button to “LOL”. I had to LOL about your popcorn remark. I’ve been craving movie theater popcorn for months! I understand your “pain.”4

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.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable but I’ve been doing it for over 4 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

@PrimalJillian - so sorry to hear that you are suffering, hope the meds situation will help your depression. I am lucky that it was only my weight which caused mine and when after over 50 years of finally deciding that I was going to lose the excess pounds for good that as I lost weight the depression slowly subsided.
Hope you start to feel better soon and that you feel more comfortable and more at peace with yourself xx.4 -

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’m 5’7, 29 years old, female. I follow a lifting program and would like to decrease my body fat while maintaining muscle mass. My strength programming is 6x/week and I’m considering doing doubles twice a week since it’s so hard to fit in a workout when I leave for work at 6am and get home around 8pm 3x a week.
My starting weight in Oct 2021 was 156.6
Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day, avoid added sugars, 20-30 minutes of cardio on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days), add one day of double strength training per week.
Previous Days11/28 151.2 surprisingly stayed the same weight after the Thanksgiving feast yesterday. Cardio for the day 20 minutes of single arm devils press, overhead walking lunges, and box jumps. Reload week on my strength training programming, but still lots of Bulgarian split squats today (the worst move ever). Meal planned and bought groceries for the week. Dinner was sautéed mushrooms and riced broccoli with a balsamic reduction and baked tofu. Protein: 135g
11/29 150.2 woke up with a bit of a head cold, but the weather was lovely! I took a walk, did some a farmers carry step up and rowing workout for some cardio and then a press day for strength. I intended to do double strength today, but felt pretty sickly. Dinner was a bok choy, mushroom, soba stir fry with baked tofu. Protein: 143g
11/30 151.2 still have a cold, but it’s a minor annoyance and not a miserable bug.. Plus it’s during a stretch of 5 days off. Took a walk, did 20 minutes of KB swings, push-ups, wallballs, jump rope, lunges for cardio and then a light pull day. Dinner was spaghetti squash, mushroom, kale, leeks and seitan. Protein: 141
12/1 152.1 cold still lingering but improving. Another day in the 70’s (isn’t it December??), so I’ll take a nice walk. I’ve been double checking my recipes for accuracy since the scale hasn’t been moving but can’t find any discrepancies and I weigh everything to grams 🤷♀️ Rowing, DB snatch, sit-ups for cardio and light leg day for strength. Lunch will be leftovers as always, dinner is roasted cauliflower and chickpeas with a herbed tahini sauce and baked tofu. Protein: 131
12/2 151.8 workday 1/3. Thought the head cold was improving but I had awful sleep and today was rough! Last night’s dinner for lunch. Broccoli edamame fried brown rice and seitan for dinner. Protein: 118
12/3 151.4 workday 2/3. Leftovers for lunch. Roasted eggplant and chickpea pitas with seitan for dinner. Protein: 126
12/4 151.2 workday 3/3. I’m so grateful for my husband who makes whatever recipes I leave for him so that o have good lunches and dinners on my very long days! We have a good leftover lunch/ new dinner cycle going. Roasted carrot and potatoes with lentils and a miso parsley sauce. Protein: 122
12/5 149.4 Did a power snatch, thruster, rowing workout to get the heart rate up. Started a new cycle on my strength program that kicked it off with a ton of my favorite … Bulgarian split squats 🤪 My mom’s birthday was today and we had a family meal. I didn’t attempt to track it. I declined leftover cake though.
12/6 148.1 Ran around all day buying more Christmas decorations. Did a rowing, kettlebell, box jump workout for some cardio. Push day for strength. It’s always nice to switch over to a new lifting cycle. They normally last 6-8 weeks. Dinner was a stuffed bell pepper soup with seitan. Back to work tomorrow. Protein: 142

Round 170 (102nd for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.
There is only 27 days to Christmas !! So I'd like to lose 4 pounds for then, that is only 4.5 weeks, a pound a week or 1.4 pounds per round. I know it will be tight, with pre-Christmas activities, but I'm going to persevere and keeping going. Still feeling better about the dress I want to wear next weekend for Peaky Blinders dance night. I need to remain binge free, but at the end of the day – yet again any loss will be a win!
Covid numbers keep yo-yoing in England – we reached “freedom day” months ago, but there is still a pandemic, and now a new variant: 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!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/28 135.2 – only managed 3.56 miles yesterday, Storm Arwen stopped me ! Snow, sleet, high winds which were icy cold – bbrrrrr, hence day was over on calories & carbs & weight!
11/29 133.8 – pleasantly surprised by this number after a high carb low mileage weekend, but will take it! Again wintery weather was against me yesterday, only 4.25 miles walked, hence 25 calories & 88 carbs over.
11/30 133.8 – pleased this number stayed around, 9.5 miles walked yesterday & a good food day, calories well under, carbs 17 over.
12/1 133.8 – 9.11 miles walked yesterday followed by the rest of the day painting in my sisters house, 2 coats of 50/50 paint/water on the fresh plaster on all walls and ceiling in her lounge. Good camaraderie with my sisters whilst we work. Not too a bad food day, she did provide us with a slice of homemade lemon drizzle cake after our jacket potato with chilli, but you know what, it wasn't worth the extra calories!!
12/2 133.8 – 8.86 miles walked yesterday, calories under but 44 carbs over.
12/3 133.4 - 125 & 94 calories & carbs over respectively. A day travelling up to care for my toddler DGS, took him to an animal farm with a soft play area, but no structured walking.
12/4 133 – 10.47 miles walked yesterday, good food day, Tried on my peaky blinders dress last night & also dresses that I plan on wearing for the Christmas & New Year dances. I was very pleasantly surprised with how they all fit and look, my exercise regime; walking and toning & stretching exercises and sticking to the food plan are all worthwhile!!
12/5 133.6 – bit disappointed with this, but hoping just normal fluctuation. 9.59 miles walked yesterday. Felt really good in my dress last night, a brilliant night we only sat out a few of the numbers, stayed AF, within calories, carbs 34 over (pizza).
12/6 133 -7.44 miles walked yesterday, good food day, calories well under, but carbs 45 over.
12/7 133 – 10.8 miles walked yesterday and another day under calories and all macros. Yes!! goals for this round met; 1.4 pounds lost since end of last round, no binges and toned enough to feel really good in my “Peaky Blinders” dress at the weekend.
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE
. Keep calm – Covid is still out there take care, we're still in this together!

**************************************
11/28 143.0 (trend 142.7) Not really surprised to see this gain, yesterday was crazy, flying to Portugal and back in one day. We managed to squeeze in a lovely meal and a little walk around the town to see the lights and the monastery.
11/29 142.2 (trend 142.6) Glad to see this coming back down despite indulging in some treats yesterday, I got caught up in seasonal spirit at a cosy pub with a log fire. It was snowing outside and they were selling Christmas trees, we had soup and a few beers, proper hygge vibes!
Then pizza back at home and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation on the box. I'm not usually all that interested in Christmas, hubby being a Hindu and my daughter is usually with her dad, but this year feels different, we're all ready to get really into it!
11/30 143.0 (trend 142.7) Had a really lazy day yesterday and didn't drink enough water, plus I was snacky so I'm not that surprised to be up again. Must tighten things up for the next few weeks to get back on track.
12/01 143.0 (trend 142.7) Much more active day, food ok but still not enough water. Spent the day ripping up floorboards so feeling quite achy. Went for a beer in a pub built in 1610, sat by the fire and listened to the landlord's ghost stories, then a walk round the town to see the lights.
Still retaining water I think, totm is coming up so it'll take a while to shift it.
12/02 141.0 (trend 142.5) Really physically demanding day yesterday and was too busy to eat much. Crashed on the sofa in the evening and binged a bit on raisins and peanut butter but I think I needed it. Totm started today, need to avoid the cravings. Nearly finished the kitchen floor and then I can start fitting the cabinets, woot!
12/03 141.8 (trend 142.4)
12/04 142.2 (trend 142.4)
12/05 141.0 (trend 142.2) Haven't updated for a few days, sorry! Need to catch up with everyone's posts. Not been making the best food choices, barely eating in the day and then eating more than I usually would in the evening. I suppose it's OMAD-lite? It might help me maintain short term for December while there's so much temptation about then back to healthy small meals in January. I'll see how it goes.
12/06 141.4 (trend 142.1) Food not too bad, though I did indulge in some homemade chicken tikka which I hadn't planned for. Spent the day taking several car loads of stuff to the dump, so lots of running up and down ramps. Glad trend weight is still moving down even though scale weight is very bouncy. Not gonna make my goals this round but then I haven't really been trying.
12/07 140.6 (trend 141.9) Happy with this considering my lack of proper tracking and weighing this round. Didn't eat much yesterday as no appetite but someone brought a bottle of Baileys into the house and that has been a bit fatal for me! Need to keep reminding myself that it's still 2.5 weeks until Christmas when I'll get to eat, drink and be merry and how much better everything will taste if I don't indulge all the way up to it! This was round 10 for me, here's to the next 10!

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
11/28 209.5 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, fishing, not tracking food. Chips, pie, and drinks are damaging any success I’m making with good choices at meal time. Burned my hand which was not a good excuse to drink bourbon but I soothed it with Aloe on the hand and a few drinks instead of pain meds. TODAY is a good day to start fresh.
11/29 209.3 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 2.5 + .5 miles, fishing, 1404 cal, 123 net carbs, AF.
11/30 209.4 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, fishing 1437 cal, 103 net carbs, 2 bourbon & diet cokes.
12/1 210.1 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked .5 + .5 miles, Strength Training class 1 hr, 2619 cal, 134 net carbs, 2 bourbon & diet cokes. Okay 2 slices of pecan pie did not bode well for weight loss.
12/2 209.7 Walked 1.5 miles, long drive in the car, 1791 cal, 145 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
12/3 209.8 Walked 3 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, 2171 cal, 205 net carbs, AF.
12/4 207.7 Walked 2.7 + 1.3 miles, 1797 cal, 202 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.
12/5 208.3 No exercise, shopped with my sister instead and continued decorating for Christmas. 1980 cal, 193 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.
12/6 208.3 Walked 3.5 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Pasta for both lunch & dinner when I told myself I would not have any for the day. Planned to decorate the tree but worked on a beautiful wood puzzle with very cool and unusual pieces with DH instead. https://www.libertypuzzles.com/wooden-jigsaw-puzzles/grand-canyon-falls
12/7 208.6 Walked 1.3 + 1.3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Planned meals and did well but lacked green veggies in the house.
Lacking discipline this round. I really need to get back on a better routine of including more veggies in my daily life!10 -

12/07 - 148.9 - Would you look at that, my body cooperated for the end of round! Hopefully, unlike rounds past, I don't get a big jump up tomorrow. Also met my goal of 148.x for this round! Now to keep it going down. Lunch wasn't balanced, but breakfast and dinner were. All NF habits good. Ended up finishing one of my habit modules yesterday and had to pick a new one so I decided on the bodyweight one (rather than making my own up, which is what I was doing for the last week). Today is a rest day (I did today's lunges for QFit yesterday and today is rest day. I'll do my 6 minutes stretching today instead. Flip flop!). BF was off work and decided to deep clean the house. A) dog keeps it messy and he was tired of it
if we clean now and work to maintain as best as possible with the dog around, it'll be easier once we move. So my breaks from work were kind of forced on me as he needed help moving things or getting some more meticulous things done (we got new wax melt lights and one has Himalayan Rock Salt. He couldn't be bothered to get the rocks in the wire cage without them falling out so I inherited the task and other little things like that haha!) He's back working today so will have to pay attention and get my tush off the couch moving every hour. Need to focus on getting balanced meals today as I haven't been grocery shopping and won't have a chance to today with meetings cutting into my normal lunch hour. Water will be nice and easy, though
Previous Day's Comments11/28 - Progress is progress, no matter how slow. I'll take it. Especially since Fam wanted to go out last night, we didn't make it home until almost 1am, and I'm running on about 5 hours of sleep. I'm also quite sore, particularly in my legs, since I did a small bodyweight workout yesterday. Knee is still tender, but doing better and I'm trying to work around it. Water was very good yesterday but I can still tell I've got some bloat to contend with. Will keep hacking away at my habits, though. Fasted yesterday for about 16.5 hours. My goal fasting window doesn't open up until 2pm today so we shall see how long I can hold off before my body yells "no more!" It may take a few days to retrain my body to this fasting schedule so I'm not terribly worried. Again, progress is progress, no matter how slow.
11/29 - Hey, it's still progress! Think some of this weight is DOMS, some hormonal. I was beyond sore by end of day yesterday. Struggling to get in and out of the chair. Today I'm still sore, but I've already pushed through 5 minutes on the rowing machine at a slow pace (NF app "morning activity" which can be meditation, journaling, workout, yoga, stretching, any activity that will wake up the brain and begin the brain-body communication WITHOUT electronics. Right now, it's creating the habit, so they only have us doing 5 minutes until it becomes habit, then moving on to longer times. I also used their method of "temptation bundling" like I did with running: I can only listen to my podcasts when I'm on the rower, walking, or running.) I'm going to try to push through at least 1 of their body weight workout rounds (they aim for 3 rounds of it, but I only did 2 on Saturday and I was barely able to walk yesterday so taking it easy today with rowing to help supplement). Food wasn't great, but I did manage to stay within calories and started fasting really early (had more of a lunch that ended about 3pm) and 90oz water. Going to push as far as I can with fasting today so I don't have a horribly long eating window to stuff my face. Went shopping and have balanced dinners planned for the week. Will be commuting at least Wednesday, possibly Thursday so I have a balanced meal for those planned. It should give me enough for at least 3 days so I'll have to find something healthy for today's lunch to get me through. Hopefully I can see 140s again without too much issue in the next day or two.
11/30 - There we go, back into the 140s. Now to hold on to that. Yesterday was good with all my daily habits. Finished 1.5 rounds of the bodyweight circuit and I'm still sore, but less so. Also did yoga stretching yesterday beforehand to help with the soreness. Active rest today was a nice wake up yoga morning routine. I have a conference webinar taking up most of the morning so I'll try to focus on getting up for some light movement (even if its pacing) throughout. Batch cooking some chicken burrito bowls for lunch today through Thursday. Tonight will be shrimp tacos. Tomorrow I commute in to work so I may or may not be able to post, but will weigh in and do my best to pop on. Same with Thursday if I end up having to drive in (dependent on how tomorrow goes). At the very least, I'll be back Friday.
12/01 - Guessing this is due to waking up several hours earlier than normal. Not worried about it since I look and feel way less bloated than yesterday! Long couple days ahead but I've set myself up well enough. Healthy snacks (salmon packets, protein shake), a balanced lunch, and water all packed and ready to go. Plan to do bodyweight exercises (squats, pushups, lunches, planks) during breaks at work plus I'm sure I'll have plenty of walking to do.
12/02 - All habits good but water was close! I ended up finishing my water goal with dinner but then had to wake up twice to use the bathroom..oops. Weight is alright, expected. The commute is hard, especially since it hasn't been that frequent - dinner is within 45 minutes of my lights out and the early wakeup doesn't help the scale. Body isn't used to having to function that way yet. Had a touch of heartburn from eating so close to dinner, but luckily it passed quickly. Hopefully with time and routine, my body will adjust to that as well. Feeling sleepy but coffee is brewing and the smell alone helps a bit (coffee is more like a placebo than actually doing anything for me. I don't drink more than my small travel mug which is about 1 1/2 to 2 cups if I drink any at all then switch to water for the day). Below I attached a picture of a goal I'm working on with QSciences (feel free to join if you'd like). Also keeping up with my NF Journey habits. I did my NF bodyweight at work yesterday (1 round and I'm still sore from it) and my plank. Thankfully tomorrow I don't have to work because today's QFit challenge is tripling the squats I do with NF bodyweight! I plan on spacing them through the day, though.
12/03 - Sodium blimp from dinner. Fam tried a Thai sweet and sour chicken soup and had edamame as a side. Unfortunately she realized after the fact, the edamame came pre-salted. They were delicious, but they were, indeed, salty. Water good, all habits good. Did walk the plant for my NF active rest day and completed all 3 sets of 10 pushups for QFit (I'm keeping it in a spoiler below in case anyone follows along with me or is curious). Up early to go out to the land and get out in nature while everyone else works. It's a very stressful time, a huge "go live" is happening starting January 1st and 3 people have quit this week. They're already extremely understaffed. Poor BF is doing the jobs of 4 or 5 people already (including the work of positions both higher and lower than his own but he can't promote until he's held his position at least a year, which will be June 1st).
12/04 - Friends came to town for the weekend last night. NSV: I balanced lunch to account for a heavier, later dinner with them once they arrived. Yay! Downfall? I didn't realize we were going to see the lights at the Platz (German town here) and let the kiddos try ice skating (first time, it was great) after the Christmas Parade so I didn't bring my water cup. I'm feeling it with a slight dehydration headache and the blip on the scale. Today: viewing a house (house-hunting) and then chilling and hanging out around town with our friends. They brought their daughter and she hasn't been here before so it'll be fun! All other habits good. Active rest day today which I should get plenty of walking in throughout the day for that. Have planks to complete for QFit.
12/05 - Sodium + rehydration, very expected, very okay. Lack of water Friday led to the temporary gain of water weight while rehydrating yesterday. Drank over 100oz through the day. Also had chips and salsa. Those salty chips tasted wonderful letting me know just how much I needed to rehydrate. Oof. Of course, those same salty chips are causing me to hold on to some of the water. It'll go down in a day or two so long as I can get back on track. Friends from out of town leaving this morning so back to normal routine. Fasting as long as I can today (I made a conscious decision for a break while they were here). That's the only NF habit I didn't complete yesterday. Did manage to sneak in my side planks. Today I have a 5 minute run plus NF bodyweight round. Not sure when I'll get that run in, but even if I have to run in place, I'm doing it! Once I post I'll do a round of bodyweight. Maybe by doing one in the morning, one in the evening I can work up to 2 rounds now. Just is starting to feel easy but it does leave me sore the next day still. Don't want to overdo it!
12/06 - Yippee!! Sodium and dehydration water retention has gone down and I'm back in the 140s. That was primary goal for this round, honestly. Yesterday was not ideal nutrition-wise, but I hit my NF habit goals. Drank over 100oz water. Tried my 5 minute run in place and knee did NOT like it, so I paced the house to walk for 5 minutes instead. Completed 2 rounds of NF body weight workout and can actually walk (not waddle) today. Progress on the muscle side of things which I'm happy to see (and may be contributing to weight since it has been months since I worked on strength). Today is active rest for NF and QFit calls for 6 minutes of stretching which works out really well. Work is busy busy busy so I'll be trying to take frequent breaks to get off my tush and move around. Will likely have to go to the store in the next day or two for more healthy lunch options, I'm getting a tad low. I'm not the type of person who can eat the same thing day in and day out so I need to include SOME variety. One or two days is fine, after that, I'm over it haha Will look up some healthy meals that sound good for lunches during my breaks.

Leftovers in.

Leftovers out. That is crazy. I think my scale was trolling me yesterday.
11/30: 207.2
Having some trouble nursing my discipline back to health. I wounded it during the Thanksgiving holiday.
My first scale reading of this round obliterated any possibility for a decent ten-day average.
I have never been as interested as I am this year about being interested. Caring about caring. Paying attention to paying attention during the holiday season. This makes it difficult to think about the annual office parties, open houses, family gatherings that are all ahead of me. Not to mention the gatherings I don’t even know about yet.
In the past for me, this has been all about the food (including last weekend.) Now, today, I will try to think more about the people I am with. My discipline is not mortally wounded! But, it has an infection.
12/01: 206.2
Steady day. Good exercise.
12/02: 207.4
Open house by one of my consultants this evening. Going to try to at least go lower carb.
12/03: 208.4
I am nothing more than a container that gets filled and emptied. Feeling a little Holiday pressure these days.
12/04: 207.6
12/05: 206.8
Had a quick overnight visit to DD Friday / Saturday. Feels like I should weigh more. It will probably catch up with me in the next couple days.
12/06: 208.4
Aaaand there it is.
12/07: 211.0
Second office Christmas party last night. I don’t regret any of it. We had a great time and I think the staff feel appreciated. This reading is mostly about the contents of the container, not the container. There will be a correction.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/28: 209.7
11/29: 208.6 - Wow I had a lot of catching up to do I couldn't believe the last round ended 2 days ago. Thanksgiving weekend flew by! I feel like I ate pretty well and when I didn't I made sure I adjusted the rest of my day to that to stay under calories. Just have to buckle down for the end of the year. I WILL be under 200 by Christmas.
11/30: 208.1 - Last day of the month long Apple Watch challenge to work out every day, I did it. At this point I might as well go the rest of the year but maybe do something different tomorrow. I love the bike but my hamstring (previously torn) is not doing well. Rather give myself a day of rest than re-tear it and be forced into months of rest.
12/1: 207.0 - A decent surprise after waking up with a bit of a stomach issue. Set a new 20 minute PR on the Peloton which again was a surprise. Took a progress picture this morning, don't see much difference in last 10 lbs but see major difference in last 20 lbs.
12/2: 208.3 - Okay so yesterday was the outlier. Got it. Probably didn't help that we had Chinese for lunch yesterday and then I had pasta for dinner. Trend still down, workouts still happening so not worried!
12/3: 208.1 - Last round was a big drop so this round is flattening out, it makes sense. Either way, my cardio is improving which is great. I PR'd again for a 20 minute Peloton ride. 2x in 3 days so I'm definitely getting better there. I'm feeling not as confident about the 200 by Christmas but we will see!
12/4: 205.5 - A later weigh in than during the week and much harder workouts on the weekend (more sweat) explains this big drop. I almost don’t count it because it makes Monday seem not as successful but I have to record something! Hit a new 45 minute PR on Peloton which now sets all my PRs at 10+ output per minute which has been my goal for 2 months. So happy!
12/5: 205.0 - Went to a party yesterday and was called skinny. It feels weird because while I’m skinnier, I’m in no way “skinny” yet. It’s a nice compliment but I can’t let that make me think I’m done still a ways to go…
12/6: 206.4 - Well one scale said 206.4 and one said 205.4 but I'm going conservative for this weigh in and saying the higher one. Mondays after two long workout days I always go lighter so there's always a bit of a fluctuation up vs the weekend. 19 days until Christmas and 6 lbs to go. Hopefully body cooperates!
12/7: 207.0 - I swear my body hates me and just wants the last day of each round to be high lol. Ugh. Oh well Just makes next round goal more attainable. Set ANOTHER new Peloton PR this time for 30 minutes, beating previous PR by over 20. 18 days to lose "7 lbs" we shall see...8 -
I skipped a few rounds and of course some of the weight came back. Goal weight is around 170 and then go from there. Starting weight is 212 (was 200.8). My scale actually broke yesterday so I’ve got a new one coming tomorrow. On better meds, more Prozac and now Adderall so hopefully no more anxiety episodes. Need to lose weight so I can keep taking Adderall ha. Also, 35F relatively sedentary.
12/4: 212.2 lbs at last weigh-in at Dr on 12/1
12/5: DNW. Scale hasn’t arrived yet. Monitoring my blood pressure at home due to Adderall. Praying things work out because it’s so amazing to feel CALM but if the side effects (I.e increase in BP) are too severe I have to go on a non-stimulant which may not produce the same effects. I know I’ve lost weight based on my clothes. A bit worried because the Adderall makes it easier to ignore hunger and seems to have shrunk my stomach a little so I’m not currently eating a sustainable diet (using premier protein shakes for breakfast and lunch). Can’t afford to have the Adderall yanked by my doctor if I lose too much weight too quickly so I’m trying to add some calories in a way I could probably, hopefully, sustain without the Adderall. Also, can’t take the drug every day and don’t want to binge eat on non medicated days. Not looking forward to that conversation at my recheck - I’m very honest with my doc cause these drugs freak me out a little. So I had two dipped macaroons this am with my protein shake before my meds kicked in and I have a small portion of sweet potato fries on deck to have with dinner tonight. Now to work on spreadsheets all day. Yay for busy season (public accounting)! Please send fudge.
12/6: 206.2. Scale arrived yesterday evening. Going to try and take tomorrow as a “break day” from Adderall. Playing with dosage (with dr permission) and yesterday managed to find a kind of sweet spot where I became really hungry by 3 and was able to eat a fair amount. Pretty sure I hit my calorie goal yesterday or else came close to it (some guesstimating on sauce). Forgot to check my BP around noon but by 6 pm I was getting normal readings below 120 - 1 high reading at 138 but could have been a cuff issue. At the client site today so I can count on my colleagues to insist on lunch. Probably won’t log depending on where we go cause I’m too lazy to find facsimiles on MFP haha.
12/7: 204.4 Eeep not sure why it dropped so much, I’m getting about 1200-1300 calories a day. But that’s almost 8 lbs in a week. Some of that is water, thank goodness, but also probably the Adderall messing with my metabolism…which is a problem I’ve always wanted to have but not at the expense of potentially losing the very medication that makes life better. So. Taking an Adderall break today even if it kills me. And maybe order some Indian food 🤤9 -
@PrimalJillian - so sorry to hear that you are suffering, hope the meds situation will help your depression. I am lucky that it was only my weight which caused mine and when after over 50 years of finally deciding that I was going to lose the excess pounds for good that as I lost weight the depression slowly subsided.
Hope you start to feel better soon and that you feel more comfortable and more at peace with yourself xx.
Thank you ❤️
There's a certain amount of empowerment when we can define an underlying cause for depression. For me, it's combat PTSD. Need for routine, life happens and routine needs to be set aside temporarily, struggle because no routine, get back to routine. It's a cycle. Only a few days this time, but sometimes it's weeks or months. I'm finding that the more effective and efficient my routine is, the easier it's becoming to get back to it.6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
11/28: 154.3 - I think I missed a day somewhere on the last round, but I can’t figure out where. Anyways, today’s scale reading is not surprising but disappointed in myself for portion control over the holiday weekend and the lack of higher intensity cardio workouts.
11/29: 152.8 - Back to where I was before Thanksgiving
11/30: 152.8 - Good workout and good eating yesterday, Still finishing up high calorie leftovers from our Friendsgiving, but made it work within plan.
12/01: 152.3 - Met round goal but I had a blip up right before the start of the round. Hoping to keep pushing downward before travel and other events.
12/02: 151.0 - Magical whoosh? Did my usual exercise and ate within calories.
12/03: 149.5 - Whoa! I had a lot of tension yesterday and not much appetite until dinner. Got my workout in. I suspect this won’t hold as life returns to normal today.
12/04: 150.8 - Was hungry yesterday, but ate to plan. Got my workout in, albeit a little later in the day. Haven’t slept all that well the past couple of nights.
12/05: 150.8 - Getting ready for the holidays with making toffee. Luckily nothing to sample since it wasn’t set. I did taste a walnut and an almond to make sure they were still good. I wasn’t going to log it, but then changed my mind. I don’t know if it is the database or not, but each nut is showing up as 1 gram of fat. Each. Nut. Yikes. I look back to how many times I just grabbed a handful and would eat them as snacks.
12/06: 149.9 - Neighborhood cookie exchange will most likely do its damage tomorrow. Conveniently when I won’t be able to weigh in.
12/07: - DNW - Traveled to the east coast and no scale where we are staying. I’ll have to sit out next round since we’ll be here for all of it, but wishing you all the best in your journeys. See you in Round 172!

28: 214.8 🥚Good start for the round. Football game this afternoon, so possibly an increase tomorrow depending on where I watch the game and who I'm with.
29: 213.8 🥚 Watched the game alone at home, so it was super easy to stay on track. Rounding out ovulation week tomorrow, so this should be my strong round before heading into the other spike of the hormonal weight gain cycle. Looking forward to seeing what I can accomplish!
30: DNW Had to be up and out the door super early this morning. Went out to eat last night with a couple friends. Managed to stay within my calories, carbs, and IF window. Feel a little bloated today. Guessing it's from the grilled jumbo shrimp, but only because I can't think of any other possible culprit.
❄️🌨️☃️ December ☃️🌨️❄️

4: I'm really struggling. I've been off my fairly new, but effective, routine for a few days because of my coordinator role for a school fundraiser. Pretty sure I've also missed a couple of my med doses. Haven't been tracking food or exercising. Not quite sticking to my IF schedule. Most likely gaining weight. The fundraiser event was today, so I'm hoping I can muster enough energy to get back on track tonight or tomorrow morning. Feeling like I'm having hormone induced emotional sensitivity, but it's several days early for that.
5: Stuck to IF schedule and tracked food. Stayed within calories and macros.
6: 216.9 At this point, I'll be happy to get back to where I ended the last round. 216.3. Depression is a, well, you know. Got med situation straightened out yesterday. Getting back into my routine today.
7: 213.3 Sooo... Water weight? Guess we'll see how the next few days go. Likely start slight gains for a few days until TOM starts.
Loss this round 3 pounds
NSV Did great with water for most of this round. Usually 3 24oz bottles a day. Goal is 4. Definite progress.
Needs Improvement Continue tweaking routine. Working through an anti-procrastination course seems to be helping multiple areas of life, so I need to stick to that and keep implementing the shifts.
There's no such thing as failure; only feedback.9 -

11/28: 199.8 Back on track and it feels so good! 51 net carbs, only off my step goal by about 200, and a Pelo ride done. Bring on the day!
11/29 198.0 39 net carbs. Started coming down with something yesterday, so I was resting as much as I could and came nowhere near my step goal.
11/30 195.4 Woke up sick, so yesterday was a matter of survival. My carbs were higher than usual, and my steps virtually nonexistent.
12/1 195.6 Another day of not feeling well, but better than the day before. I ate closer to normal yesterday, so the tiny uptick is no surprise. 64 net carbs, but again, nowhere near my step goal. I’ll be back at it soon though!
12/2 196.0 Had a close to normal eating day yesterday, so not surprised to see the number up a little today. I’m slowly recovering from this bug. 55 net carbs, but fell short on steps. Recovery is the name of my game this week.
12/3 195.0 97 net carbs yesterday because of a strong craving for Stromboli. Fell just a little short on steps, but I am recovering some more from this flu or whatever it was that I’ve had all week.
12/4 194.6 61 net carbs. Low on steps, but still not feeling 100% yet, so I’m ok with it.
12/5 194.4 48 net carbs, low on steps again, but it’s all good. Had a snaccident later in the afternoon, but kept the damage to a minimum. On to today!
12/6 193.6 Way short on steps yet again, but I’m getting back to my steps and exercise starting today! 61 net carbs, and a nice loss this morning. I’ll take it!
12/7 193.4 65 net carbs, and finally hit my step goal again, for the first time in at least a week! I’m definitely feeling better this week- just an annoying cough and drippy nose left, but so much better than last week. Today, I’ll finally get on the Pelo again!
Total Round Loss: -7.8 Dang, I’m happy!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/28 / 191.6 / Yesterday we had dinner out with friends. Glad to see my preplanning and careful eating before we left paid off. I am in a funk today even though the sun is shining. Day isn't going as planned and sometimes that's okay! I am still on track with my eating and exercise.
11/29 / 192.4 / Today was a loooonng day at work! I didn't move for about 10 hours. Oops!
11/30 / 192.2 / Hoping for a better work day today. The weather here is so amazing.. want to get out for my lunchtime walk. It's a great way to split up the day!
12/01 / 192.8 / Snowy day here but I've gotten out for two short walks. Still having a crazy busy week at work. Dinner out tonight with coworkers to celebrate my 15 year anniversary with the company.
12/02 / 192 / Celebratory dinner was nice last night. Got home and watched a movie with my husband versus riding on the Peloton so hoping to get a ride in today. Busy week all around.
12/03 / 192.8 / We volunteered after work yesterday and this morning I got up and PR'd my 45 minute Peloton time. We are off to Canmore to the B&B that we got married at for a night away tonight.
12/04 / 192.4 / Big night of celebration out last night. We walked to the restaurant and back.. 30 mins or so each way.
12/05 / 191.8 / Setting up our Christmas tree today. Yay!
12/06 / 191.2 / Feeling good today, this weight is a new low point and I started my day with a 30 minute Intervals and Arms ride on the Peloton. Time to conquer work!
12/07 / 190 / The cold yesterday was a hinderance to my steps (mentally more than physically) but I just scaled back my food accordingly. I set a new PR on my 45 minute Peloton ride this morning so the day is off to a good start. See you in round 171!10 -

11/28 211.2 (-.4) Still coming down from Thanksgiving. Today I’m hiking with both of my sisters.
11/29 210.4 (-1.2) Wow! This is my first holiday season logging here and really staying focused. I enjoyed Thanksgiving and ate all my favorite foods then did my best to get back on track the day after. I’m only .6 over my low weight. It’s really helped to read the forums to stay encouraged. No organized exercise today.
11/30 209.0 (-2.6) Dropped my Thanksgiving bump and down .8 from my former low weight. I’m still a bit in shock that I can enjoy eating my favorite holiday foods including egg nog and pumpkin pie with lots of whip cream and drop the extra weight in less than a week if I get back on track the following day. Just one more real life example helping me build confidence that I can do this and not only reach goal weight, but maintain it once I get there.
12/1 209.4 (-2.2) Swimming was good yesterday. I still have company in town, but working to stay on plan. Today is no organized exercise. I need to drink more water today.
12/2 208.6 (-3.0) My family leaves tomorrow to head home. I’ve loved having them here. Still, it will be nice to get back to my routine. I’m finishing a big commission for a collector for Christmas and that will be done in about a week. I’m looking forward to just relaxing and making plans for the new year. My goals every year include losing weight and exercising more. I’m happy I finally made progress this year. The health goal will be to finally get to goal weight and maintain. A new challenge for a new year.
12/3 207.2 (-4.4) I’m surprised by the loss this round so far. I did gain right before the round started, with Thanksgiving, so that explains some of it. Still, I can’t believe I am less than 8 pounds away from weighing under 200 pounds! I honestly never thought it would happen. I have been getting more water the last few days.
12/4 206.4 (-5.2) Woohoo! No explanation for the big loss so far. I guess this makes up for the rounds when things move way slower than expected. I’ll have my indulgence meal today which will bump things up a little.
12/5 208.8 (-2.8) I had my indulgence meal yesterday. It was really good. Today I hiked and will be cooking my breakfasts for the week. Looking forward to getting back in my routine.
12/6 206.8 (-4.8) Yay! Today is a busy day with no scheduled exercise. I’ll get steps in and watch my calories. I can’t believe we are near the end of another round.
12/7 206.4 (-5.2) A great way to end this round. I’m swimming today and have plenty of errands on my schedule. I’m about 7 months in and have lost 57.7 pounds. Some days are really hard…most days I’m focused and in a good routine. It’s those hard days that seem to make the difference for me. Sometimes I make good choices, other days I don’t do so well. But I’m making good choices more often than not and it’s working. Congrats everyone on sticking with it through the challenging holidays!!

May 10, 2021: 183.1 - just 2.9 pounds off 186, my heaviest weight ever.
Calorie/Carb Cycling with an average of 1200 to 1400 calories at the end of 10 days. 80 oz water each day. Row/Walk/Free-Weights most days. IF, no sugar. Focus on getting enough vegetables. If I hit each of these, the weight loss will follow!
Next short-term goal:
166....165....164....163....162....161....160...159.X
11/28 - 166.9
11/29 - 165.7
12/03 - 164.6
12/04 - 163.6
12/05 - 163.3 - Why does everything lead me to food. The weather report was on and it was talking about a snow storm coming this week maybe and my first thought was, FOOD, I've got to make something good to eat. Today's football, and of course, FOOD. I've just resolved myself to the fact that I'll never do what my Grandmother used to say - eat to live, not live to eat. It's a lifetime in the making so not going to change overnight but I have gotten better about making (and enjoying) healthier food for these occasions.
12/06 - 163.1
12/07 - 162.8 - Happy with this round since I got back on track and started losing what I had gained before and during Thanksgiving, and stopped my crazy sugar binge.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/27 …..191.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/28 …..188.4 ….. (Trend weight 189.7) Thanksgiving dinner today for the entire family. Hoping to keep it under control but there will be pies. Glad to see a very nice drop today going into this.
11/29 …..189.8 ….. Trend weight 189.8) After Thanksgiving Feast yesterday.
11/30 …..189.2 ….. (Trend weight 189.7)
12/01 …..188.7 ….. (Trend weight 189.5)
12/02 …..188.2 ….. (Trend weight 189.4) My brother passed yesterday peacefully in his home and I am honored to have been caring for him and to be with him in the end. It was horrific, but peaceful. Thanks to all for the kind words and prayers. Lots of family coming in this week. I will post as best I can.
12/03 …..189.8 ….. (Trend weight 189.5) I don’t know how I can have the scale go up so much. I’m not overeating at all. Lots of steps and stairs and work with all the family coming in. I think it may be salty tears all welled up inside waiting to come out. They tend to come in short spurts.
12/04 …..188.8 ….. (Trend weight 189.4)
12/05 …..189.4 ….. (Trend weight 189.4) Pizza last night for all the visiting family. Not surprised by this. My brother was cremated yesterday morning. We await his ashes.
12/06 …..189.6 ….. (Trend weight 189.4) Gobbling up Little Debbie’s from my brother’s house does not make anything any better. In fact, the frostings taste like pure Crisco. I am still under starting weight (which is my goal) but I hoped to chisel myself down a bit before the Christmas festivities. I suppose it’s not too late. I really need to better watch my carbs, that is what makes all the difference, even if I don’t dive headfirst into Keto (right now), lower carbs is a must for me! Thanks again to everyone for the continued messages of kindness.
12/07 …..190.4 ….. (Trend weight 189.5) I am honestly a little surprised at the gain. There was lasagna and garlic bread for dinner, but in small portions. I wonder if the 4 new meds are messing with me. Anyway, this made goal for the round (anything less than start weight), but I did start at an inflated weight so I don’t take much stock in it. Still working on brother’s pack up and things. Everything smokey and needing laundering. So much work. Hired 2 people to help decorate which will take a couple of days. Inside décor only mainly. Not much outside. Hired to move furniture from my brother’s house too. So much going on. The days are going by in a whirl and I haven’t even started shopping yet. No stores here. That will require lots of computer time and lots of travel. Will I ever get through this? What a great round for so many! Let’s try to keep it clean until the Christmas festivities, shall we?

Completed day one
11/30:long day at work so done walking, sit down exercises
12/01: 156.6
So because I’m doing long day today and doing the 30 day shred m, I’m having to adapt it so that I do them on my day off. Wednesday day 2, Sunday day 3 and next week I’m working from home so can complete the days as usual. Just means first 10 days of 30 day shred will be longer
12/02: 156.0 day 2 of 30 day shred. I feel like rubbish, had my booster jab yesterday.

Hello! This is my second round. 60F, 5' 3.5", UGW: 135 lbs
SW: 143.7. (11/27)
Round Goal: 142 lbs.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/28 143.5 Still coming down from Thanksgiving Day (actually, day after) celebration.
11/29 142.7
11/30 142.7
12/1 141.3 The last of the Thanksgiving uptick is off along with just a touch more (yay!).
12/2 141.3 The weather has been beautiful here in the CO Rockies, sunny (typical year-round) and in the 60's (atypical for Dec). Yesterday, my husband and I went for a hike in my favorite local park; it was wonderful. This was in addition to my (almost) daily exercises. I hope others are enjoying good weather for outdoor activities!
12/3 140.7
12/4 140.6
12/5 140.7
12/6 140.7 May not look like it, but I am continuing to follow my allotted calories and my exercise routine-just the usual up and down (or staying even).
12/7 140.9. Still following my routine...lost 2.8 lbs for this round, but that was starting with an uptick from Thanksgiving. Round goal was 142.0, which I met that, so all is good. This round had an easy goal due to the extra weight from Thanksgiving and the previous round was a bit too aggressive (with Thanksgiving!). It's a bit hard setting Round goals, but I do have, I believe, good end-of-year and before vacation (end of Feb) goals. I'll be joining you for the next round, my third. Enjoying this thread!7 -
