Thanks so much for response, I appreciate it!MaggieGirl135 wrote: »@IsMollyReallyHungry I think 1200 would be too low for you. I am doing that now and it is HARD and it isn't that much off from my maintenance weight (guessing to be ~1700 calories). I would strongly suggest that if you are going to shave a bit off of your daily calorie allotment, then only do it by 10%. Even with that comment, I still wouldn't recommend it. Slow and steady wins the race is almost an annoying cliche comment and yet it is really true. Building new habits will help prevent gaining back the weight when you are no longer in a deficit. We all care about you and would not want you to sabotage yourself.
I am not actually eating 1200 calories. Example yesterday I actually ate 1649 calories and ate back some of my exercise calories. If I start at 1200 calories it is better for me because otherwise I am eating over 2000 and losing no weight if that makes sense. This way I am not actually eating back my exercise calories which is what I want, not to eat all of my exercise calories back and more. which is what I am doing when I set what MFP recommends, even though I am not hungry. Yesterday I was not hungry at all. Today I got hungry before noon, but this is fine because I am doing IF most days.
Please note the exercise calories are not all exercise calories either. I called them MOVEMENT calories because MFP app syncs to my Fitbit all day which is tracking my movement which is not actual intentional exercise. Movement calories per MFP is 1068. Actual exercise calories per Fitbit is 566 for two intentional exercise sessions; 1 short slow walk and 1 one-mile Leslie Sansone DVD that I do modified.
Thanks again I should have explained it better.

I'm in this for the long haul so will be relaxing the rules one weekend a month. I didn't go crazy, I was only 204 kcal over (MFP has set me at 1,620 kcal) so a minor loss wasn't unexpected. I've still got a few days of hormone fluctuations to go so have no clue what to expect from the scales ⚖ this round. Going for a hike this morning so will be having cake 🍰 after 😋9 -

Round 176 (108th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine. Another round, I prove time and time again, round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow! Would like to lose that 2.8 pound that I gained last round during this one.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
1/27 137.6 - 10.15 miles walked and an hours yoga. Calories & all macros in credit. Yesterday we celebrated our youngest DGS 2nd birthday; 18 months ago we didn't know whether we would see this day. He was born with a genetic condition causing a very seriously diseased liver, at the tender age of 6 months he was given new life by the generosity of a family who had lost their loved one and agreed to donate her liver. We shall be eternally grateful to her, her family, the organ donation scheme and the amazing NHS. I would like to take the opportunity of asking you all whether you have thought about donating your organs after you are gone and whether you have had the conversations about it with your loved ones; we never thought it could happen in our family, but you never know. A part of her continues to live on in our little DGS, she has given him life; we shall never forget and we shall be eternally grateful.
1/28 138 - 7.46 miles walked yesterday. Had way too many calories & in particular carbs, caused me to feel rough all night & I couldn't sleep with all the sugar in my system, I know it's not doing me any good so why? Will I ever learn, don't know why I keep doing this. I'm frustrated with myself & it's the same old same old! What can I say!!
1/29 137.6 – 10.06 miles walked. A much better food day, well under calories & all macros in credit.
1/30 136.4 – lovely big drop, didn't expect such a big one, may be up tomorrow due to no structured exercise expected today as we are driving up to spend the day with DD, DS & fanilies. 11.59 miles over our local AONB; Cannock Chase, walked along different paths from any we've ever done before, very refreshing. Calories under, carbs 27g over, very happy with the day.

Highly recommend this recipe for a London Broil. I cooked it twice now ... in the oven and grilled and both turn out great. Love the marinade (2-12 hrs). I used Tamari (Japanese form of soy sauce) instead of the Coconut Aminos. Think I’m going to try the marinade out on chicken next.

**************************************
1/27 139.6 (trend 140.6) Back at it x
1/28 139.2 (trend 140.4) My lowest trend weight, this means my Christmas gains are finally gone! Had a busy day cleaning, preparing for guests and didn't stop to eat, only snacks. Going to a party tomorrow, haven't done that in literally years as I'm not the sociable type. Only going because OH wants me there to support him, dreading it!
1/29 138.2 (trend 140.1) Woa! Nice big drop! Urgh, so stressed about this bloody party tonight, found out last night that it's a formal thing, the host is wearing a suit, damn! Fine for my OH as he can just chuck a suit and tie on but for me that means hair, nails, make up etc. My hands and arms are covered in cuts and bruises from working on my kitchen reno, I'm well overdue a hair cut, no clue how to do make up anymore, I haven't worn anything formal since my wedding 4 years ago when I was 30lbs heavier and I have no idea what I'm gonna wear! Arghhh. I don't wannaaaaaa!
1/30 138.8 (trend 139.9) Trend weight finally into the 130s! So the party was fine if a bit awkward, I did get a lot of grief for it having been so long since I last saw all my hubby's friends and there was a bit of frostiness towards me from some of the women but hey ho. It was nice to not feel self conscious about my weight for once, I wore one of my teenage daughter's dresses in the end!

Round 176 138.2 1/26/22 Harry 10 lb 14 oz Han Solo 11 lb 13 oz
Goals:I think I have to figure out how to be more balanced in my approach so that when life gets a little complicated. I need to not fully resort back to my old ways of no exercise and unplanned eating. During my rounds 127 – 139, I was in 4 challenge groups. They were great for challenging me during that time and can take credit for what I accomplished. Once I got what I thought was my goal of 128 and change, I did not know what my goals should be and I got rather lost in my head. I dropped out of 3 of the 4 challenge groups, and the one I continued with, while great, was one that I probably had the hardest time defining success in. Summer got complicated (won’t bore you) and I eventually could not handle “failing” repeatedly so I left that last group as well. Then fall came, and family issues (think aging parents) put me in a tailspin. I need to learn to respond better as, if you look at my lifelong history, this is not the first time.
So my goals are to track daily, honestly, and completely, and with intension. To plan ahead dietary choices as much as possible. Exercise daily – no specific minimum, just make it happen. Weight goal for round 176 is to be 135, for real. Given at the time I am typing this, I weighed 135.4 in the AM, I am not asking too much. After that, I would like to average 1 pound per 10 days, which would mean 8 lbs removed by the end of April.
Lastly, I added the cats into the mix. I figure a reminder to check them ever 10 days is good. I have been sloppy. I am trying to keep Harry’s weight from dropping and Han’s from increasing. Dream weights for each of them is a low 11 lb IMO.
SW: 138.2
Cats: Harry 10 lb 14 oz Han Solo 11 lb 13 oz
1/27- 136.4 Actually feels good to pay attention again
1/28- 135.4 Yesterday went well enough. Did 25 min on spin bike early in the AM. Fully planned and tracked my food. Last night, late evening, I did opt to have an extra 1 oz of parmesan because I had already been hungry for hours, and wondered about potential impact on sleep (I sleep poorly lately). Anyhow, scale is moving quickly, but I fully understand that it is just the flushing out that happens with improved diet.
1/29- 135.4 Perfectly content with that. 20 in spin yesterday with HR reaching 163, heading back to the bike in a minute. Today is that blizzard in New England. Will be interesting to see how it goes. Supposed to be a “historical” storm for the Boston area, and we are living in our new condo (long story) and I hear that this part of town tends to lose power. We shall see. I also need to take a bit and read the whole thread and catch up on familiar faces and begin to learn the new.
1/30- 135.4 Made it through the blizzard. Still not perfect on my eating (think parmesan cheese and likely went over by 100 calories in the end) but as “bad choices” go, its acceptable. Did a 30 minute spin at a slower pace just watching Hulu. I’m playing around with my exercise. My first step if for it to become my “normal” like it was last year for 9 months.

YOU CAN’T WALK YOUR WAY OUT OF A BAD DIET. Last year I walked over 500 miles and still gained weight.
Losing weight will help me -
…feel healthy and strong again.
…fit comfortably into my work clothes.
…slide on a pair of jeans.
…hike in the spring.
…look good for my daughter’s high school graduation.

"I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me" Philippians 4:13
“KAREN YOU HAVE GOT THIS”
'Consistency is the ONLY key to achieving any desired result'
MY “WHY’s AND HOW’s CONSISTENT List”:
I want to be free from diabetes, heart failure, high blood pressure
I want to walk, hike, shop, explore
I want to prove ‘YES I CAN’
I will educate myself on nutrition, prioritize health over body image and/or weight loss.
I will hold myself accountable, not using any situation of person as a scapegoat
I will pay attention to what I eat, and keep a food log
I will stay physically active
I will keep realistic expectations
I will accept compliments and decide whether input from others will influence me
I will learn to recognize portion size, calories, and when I am full
I will say to myself, “Ok that’s it, I’m done!”
I will focus on the process of developing good habits, rather than a finite result
I will I do the best I can with the tools I have
I will say to myself, “KAREN YOU HAVE GOT THIS”
……..
My long term vision is to maintain my weight in the BMI ‘Normal Weight Range’ of 22.7
Why I want this goal is for managing my heart health and diabetes.
And to feel enticed to continue hiking and enjoying family and friends.
Positive actions and reasons:
1. daily logging of nutrition & water,
providing visual information to help me choose wisely
(my goals: 4 veggies, 2 fruit, 64oz water)
2. weekly movement,
providing lubricant to my joints to keep them mobile
(my goals: 90” of cardio, 60” of ST, flexibility of 40”)
3. daily thanks to God and self,
providing a relationship/direction with God and reassurance/strength for me
“Karen YOU HAVE GOT THIS”
💗 Karen

1/27- 198.0 (+2.0) I had my indulgence meal last night and loved every bite. I’m back on track today hoping to finish this ten day’s strong. Swimming was good yesterday. No organized exercise today, just happily painting away. I put on some of my favorite old comfortable sweatpants last night to wear to bed and they are falling off.
1/28- 198.0 (+2.0) I should start dropping tomorrow. Last night I was sitting in one of my chairs with my feet next to me when I realized I could easily reach my foot. And so I experimented with my flexibility and…woohoo!! I will be able to paint my toenails easily now. A totally unexpected and surprising NSV. Now, where is that polish?
1/29- 197.6 (+1.6) Slowly coming down after my indulgence meal the other day. It will drop further in the next few days. I swam yesterday for an hour. It felt good. I discovered, at least according to my Apple Watch, that I burn more calories swimming breaststroke instead of free style. I guess it makes sense since I use larger movements on breaststroke. So, I’m alternating. Today is Orange Theory Fitness and lots of water. Hoping for a swoosh tomorrow.
1/30- 198.0 (+2.0) Had a great workout yesterday at Orange Theory and spent the rest of the day painting. I was within calories, but definitely didn’t get enough water. A little disappointed, but expecting the loss to come soon.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/26 …..194.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/27 …..196.8 ….. (Trend weight 194.0) Nice clean teeth after the dentist yesterday. Apparently I used them too much afterward. Wow! What a jump on the scale. Travel always yields too much money spent, lots of car driving and sitting and restaurant food. Working on that today!
01/28 …..196.4 ….. Trend weight 194.2) Slightly better on the scale this morning. It sure comes off slower than it goes on! I’m going to try to push water today. I am getting a new refrigerator delivery today with install going in tomorrow after it sits for 24 hours. I am hoping for a full kitchen gut and remodel sometime this year. Probably in better weather and not in the dead of winter due to supply and how far we are from everything. Too many trips in winter.
01/29 …..195.2 ….. (Trend weight 194.3) Better choices. Quantities meh. New fridge won’t be in today. He measured wrong and the fridge is ¾” too high for my bridge cabinets that are attached to a pantry cabinet. That means the cabinets have to come down and either the bulk head redone or everything moved but real estate is a precious commodity in that kitchen. It’s a very large house but the kitchen has a horrible footprint and the kitchen is pretty small. I am not real happy right now. The fridge is sitting in the middle of my back foyer room and my living room is still not done. Sad face on the house issues but smiley face on seeing another drop on the scale. I’m working on more progress but also getting that trend weight to turn around.
01/30 …..197.6 ….. (Trend weight 194.6) Spiraling out of control. Low movement (only 4000+ steps). Pizza, real chocolate candy (not sugar-free). Milk (lactose bloats me). All the wrong choices. I could have done so much better. I did drink a TON of water. Otherwise, bad, bad day. Sadly, I deserve this.
01/31 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

I was really craving something sweet last night, but I resisted. I did have some air-popped popcorn. I’m trying to stop the night munching this round. I never used to do this—not sure how I got into this habit. With the brutal cold I haven’t been getting much exercise, but we have two+ hours of doggy school tonight, so that will get me moving a bit. Stay warm, all!
1/28 - 178.6, 178.5
It was nice to get out to doggy school and move a bit last night—it’s been too cold for me outdoors. I don’t plan to go anywhere today—brrrrr.
1/29 - 179.6, 178.9
Woops. These cold days make me crave fats and carbs, and I gave in last night. Ok, reset. It’s bitter cold here, but little snow. I’m thinking of all of you in the path of the east coast storm. Be safe.
1/30 - 180, 179.2
Calories on target yesterday, so this is time lag. It's fine. I kept breakfast low and will have salad for lunch. Making Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup for dinner. Sounds very satisfying to me! Stay warm!

1/28 DNW At my moms house. Ate Chinese and had some treats yesterday, I’m sure my weight won’t be good. Watching carefully today.
1/29 DNW
1/30 209.4 Back home after visiting my mom and MIL. Always a gain, between eating the snacks in the house and the stress of dealing with the elderly parents. Back to drinking water and watching what goes in my mouth. Hopefully this will be down tomorrow.

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. I’ve been doing it for over 4.5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

1/27 118.0 Spent all day yesterday in quilt guild meetings, ate 2 not fancy salads - dinner “Greek” salad (different than our regular places) was lacking just about everything it did have some gyro meat, ate 1/4 tough pita, had 1/3 Granny Smith apple with Smucker’s Natural peanut butter.
1/28 117.0 Not much appetite yesterday 🤷♀️ I’m all out of sync today. Trying to cancel cruise for the upcoming October due to vaccine status requirements.
