Previous days1/27 123 preworkout but didn’t weigh post workout. I’m thinking this is cycle related and water retention from a new strength workout Tuesday and a hard run yesterday morning. I rode the bike this morning at a leisurely pace for about an hour and plan to go to the gym this afternoon afterwork to do strength and to sit in the steam room afterwards. Food is all planned and looking forward to leftover carnitas for dinner tonight! Happy almost Friday everyone!1/31 checked in from mobile
1/28 Did not weigh. Went to the gym this morning to do strength and went for a run on my lunch today. I realized that I run faster later in the day compared to in the morning, which I thought was really interesting. Off to a relaxing yoga class tonight and then having some udon noodle soup for dinner. Happy Friday all and for those in New England, stay safe with the impending blizzard arriving tomorrow morning.
1/29 Yoga was exactly what I needed last night. It was so relaxing while being slightly challenging all at once. This morning, I’ve done dishes, put them away, made bread and some fresh peanut butter instead of having to buy it, and now I’m relaxing while the bread cools to have some for breakfast with a protein shake made with the remnants of the peanut butter in the blender with a frozen banana and vanilla whey protein powder. Hoping our power stays on during the storm. Today will be a rest day and I’m sure I’ll be shoveling/clearing my car off tomorrow morning.
1/30 121.6 pre workout. It’s been a good day so far. I had a good breakfast of toast with peanut butter and 50 g sliced banana and a protein shake. Lunch was a grilled cheese and 3 oz leftover sirloin steak and dinner will be jerk chicken thighs with half of a large sweet potato and sauteed cabbage. I went to the gym earlier today to do strength and then sat in the sauna for 30 minutes. The workout felt great and the sauna after was the cherry on top. It felt good getting some of that water retention out and now I’m replenishing with water so I don’t end up dehydrated. My plan is to do a spin class tomorrow and keep to 1800 calories a day this week. Lately I’ve been burning around 2,000-2,100 calories a day, so 1,800 calories would be about a 200-300 cal deficit. I think that’s tolerable without feeling like I’m starving or depleting myself of nutrients. When I reach 115, I’m going to reward myself with some new workout tops. I have enough pants but I don’t have a ton of tops that I love right now. I also need to find new running sneakers because my toes have worn holes through the sides of the mesh and are starting to poke through. I’m also feeling energized to start hitting my macros and see how I can change the composition of my body for the better!
2/1 121 pre workout. Did strength this morning and I plan to go swimming after work this afternoon for a bit to get some cardio in for the day. The sidewalks/street are still sketchy from the snow and it’s not worth risking falling while running. My ankle is still tight from my ankle rolling a few weeks ago, so I’m going to take it easy with the risk of ice/snow on the streets.
Food is all planned out for today and I hope to not be hungry. I added a bit more veggies to my day today, so I’m hoping that helps.

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!
1/31 - 178, 178.9
That’s better. Now to nudge it a bit further.
2/01 - 178.2, 178.8
Weird weather! It’s been very cold here, but today it’s supposed to hit 47F, then drop drastically, rain tonight, then 10 inches of snow forecast. I’m getting whiplash! Oh, well, good reading and knitting weather on the way, and outdoor run-the-puppy weather today. I skipped dinner last night because of doggy school, so we have Sunday’s creamy chicken tortilla soup for dinner tonight. It’s yummy, and calories are reasonable. I really want to get below 178 by the end of this round, so I’m determined to behave myself.

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.
1/31- 196.4 (+.4) Phew! I must have had a lot of salt in my indulgence meal a few days ago. Finally close to my low weight. No organized exercise today, just staying on plan.
2/1- 196.6 (+.6) What a tease the scale is sometimes. Today I’m swimming and plan to be warm and at home by the time the snow begins this afternoon. Hoping to finish one of my bigger paintings today!

1/27- 189.0 Well I knew the hormones would hit soon. Here they are. 75 net carbs yesterday and step goal hit. Now to just keep chugging along through the next week or so of the hormonal stall.
1/28- 186.8 Well, my body is not following its usual pattern this time around! Usually by now, I’m in the thick of a 10 day stall, not dropping 2 lbs overnight! I’ll take it though, that’s for sure! 69 net carbs yesterday, steps hit, and Pelo ride done.
1/29- 187.4 Kind of expected that. The hormones had me nibbling for most of the day. It’s all good though. Today will be better! 66 net carbs and step goal hit.
1/30- 186.8 Back down! 47 net carbs and step goal hit.
1/31- 187.8 Expected, after a snack sesh last night. Back on the train today!
2/1- 188.6 Well I’m not entirely sure what happened. I’m thinking it was either spending a decent amount of time in the kitchen again yesterday, or hormones have just shown up late. 50 net carbs and steps in. I’ve been slacking on the strength training, but today I will make up the missed session from yesterday.8 -

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.

Hi, I’m Kathy.
57, F, 5’8”
2nd round! Rebooting my lifestyle after several false starts. I need accountability to make sure it gets done.
Return to MFP SW (Dec 2021): 267
HSW: 267
CW: 256.6
UGW for now: 200, then reevaluate
Goal for this round: less than I started with
2022 goals: move more (okay, move some), eat mindfully
Day/Weight/Comment
1/27 256.6 Fully expected to be up today after taking the easy way out for dinner last night and having (carefully considered, but still) fast food. Got more than my usual steps in, and plenty of water, which may have helped? I read a thread on MFP about NEAT and so I’ve also been mindfully increasing steps/effort/movement in just my usual routine. I definitely see an uptick in my steps so it’s doing some good.
1/28 256.6 Headed to the doctor in a bit to see what’s up with my knee. I think it’s likely arthritis, but I hope we can figure out a solution that will let me work out without pain. Otherwise, meals are planned and logged and I have my water sitting next to me. Fridays are pizza night at our house but I’ll try to compensate for that the rest of the day.
1/29 255.8 Got some things done and a fair number of steps in.
1/30 256.2 Had a headache so I sat on the couch all day and watched The Sound of Music (and some football). Comfort at its finest! But I also wasn’t hungry.
1/31 255.6 Back at it. Doctor is sending me for an orthopedic consult for the knee, so waiting for them to call. Physical therapy starts in a couple of weeks. In the meantime I’ll just keep on keeping on. So far so good!
2/1 254.8 Hit 10 lbs lost since returning to MFP last month! I realized this morning that I am not feeling deprived of food I want to eat. This is new. I know that may change as I continue to lose and the calorie allowance drops too – but for now I’m feeling good about all this.

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.
1/31- 136.2 Did 20 minutes of spin bike in the AM and was in no mood for it for unknown reason, but did it, so that is something. Rest of the day was fine and right on track, and then I went on a stress eating bender. The good thing that came of this is my fridge is cleaner. :P
2/1- 136.2 1/31 was wild. No time for spin, and the day completed with a birthday celebration for my grandson. He turned two yesterday. While I was cautious with my food, I did not track. But that is all ok. 2/1 should be good.

No change. Tired of seeing that number! Really hard workout yesterday and feel sore this morning. Maybe it's fluid retention. Lot's of water today.

01/29: 190.6 lbs (+0.2)
Ugh.
01/30: 191.4 lbs (+0.8)
Knew that was coming. Ate out with friends last night - pizza. Carbs always spike my weight. Good workout yesterday so staying positive that this isn't a trend up, just waiting for my body to catch up!
01/31: 190.6 lbs (-0.8)
Of course it's that number again...
02/01: 191.2 lbs (+0.6)
So frustrated. I've been stuck at 190-192 since the 15th. I tried more water, upped calories about 200, talked to a nutritionist, lowering calories, more exercise... Nothing is working.

1/27-170-Started out the day with two pieces of bread and had a steak for dinner. Better eating today. Loaded my last quilt of three on the long arm quilting machine and will finish that today or tomorrow. Finally getting ahead! Maybe I’ll get my rollerblades out today.
1/28-Ate better, had the rest of the steak for lunch and a smoothie for dinner. Busy day with horse shoer in the morning, quilting, errands and a quilting meeting in the evening. Off to quilt at a friends today, so will bring a healthy lunch and an ice chest and visit the grocery store on the way.
1/29-166-Nice visit with the quilting ladies, had a couple of cookies and took a salad, came home and had a light dinner.
1/30 & 1/31-DNW

2/01 - 147.5 - Some TMI, but not quite enough. Completed workout yesterday. Also ran to the store for some essentials to get us through the forecasted winter weather (ice accumulations expected). Texas isn't used to that, so best be prepared for any closures that may come along. Work is busy busy busy, especially being in power generation during an anticipated winter storm. Last year was a rude awakening so this year we're hitting it hard with preparations (and all the upgrades we've done since last year's storm). Still working to get BigBro settled in and enrolled in school. House is standstill on our end while all the paperwork is completed (and awaiting the final water test results). Not much else to report but hanging in there.

Previous Day's Comments1/27 - I'm back. Kind of. I'll try to make summary quick (still long, lots to catch up on): 1) Mammogram and ultrasound confirmed doc's suspicions that the lump is just dense tissue. Whew. No higher risk than any other 30 year old. Resume annual mammograms at age 40 unless something else presents. HUGE weight off my shoulders 2) Mom discharged from hospital after a week last night. Still not 100% but no surgery. On antibiotics still, but her body was able to heal naturally so hoping the trend continues from home. Providing her with plenty of research to help avoid another issue like this (plus it's hereditary, like so much else, so I'm taking precautionary steps to avoid as I've also already had a perforated intestine, just not nearly as bad as hers) 3) House is still moving. We were able to get a contractor out to submit a quote. With that quote, we negotiated higher closing cost on their end to "pay" for the repairs. The inspector is amending report for VA to state the repairs are pending and should be good. He was informed late yesterday so hopefully by tomorrow that'll be complete. Water test is still pending, but our Agent said it could take up to a week (samples submitted Monday) 4) BF's oldest son is having problems with his mom and she's now fearful of what comes next so tomorrow he flies down to live with us. This is at least the rest of the school year and through summer break. Will reassess closer to next school year whether he goes back to his mom's with his brother and sister at end of summer. He's never acted out here so I have all the faith he will be much better here and can relax into a happy life again. 5) I'm off track quite a bit. Just trying to maintain at this point, though I'm happy to see the scale has dropped in the last couple days. Been successful at not stress snacking too much (just a quick snack of almonds or peanut butter when I'm feeling hungry. Just enough to hold me over until my next meal.) Hopefully with the lessening of stress, my fatigue will fade enough that I can push through a bodyweight workout. They aren't horribly exhausting, but I've been struggling to do no physical activity and not feel like I could fall asleep standing up. Today is better already so thinking tomorrow I will schedule a workout, even if it's just a soothing yoga and not my normal bodyweight strength workout. One thing that has been a success? Through this group, I've learned to listen to my body and not overwhelm it for the sake of "progress". Sometimes progress is taking a step back to allow things to calm down before picking back up. So thank you all for teaching me it's okay to not be perfect. I'm in a much better place now than I would be if I hadn't learned that lesson and went through this. Coming from a recovering perfectionist
1/28 - Sigh, no TMI for 2 days now. I feel the heaviness, but don't look or feel bloated, so that's all I can think of. Food yesterday was more balanced than it has been in a week, so I'm sure my body is simply re-adjusting as well. Water was good, per usual. Workout complete yesterday. Not so sore today, but I can feel it a tad. BigBro (as I will refer to BF's oldest son) will be home around dinner, assuming his flights have no delay. I have to take pup to get follow up shots, nails trimmed, and ears looked at (worried she has ear infection) this morning and then go grocery shopping, hopefully early enough to miss the weekend stupidity. We're guessing Fam will have us over for dinner as we usually do on Fridays. Particularly since they adore the kids and are excited to see BigBro. If not, I'm coming up with a backup plan for dinner for us. Mom is doing TONS better now she's home. Environment really does play a factor in it all. BF's sister is in ICU. Stage 4 brain AND lung cancer, plus a blood clot in her lung. New inspection complete with the "pending repair" status has been submitted to loan manager. Sellers agreed to shock well and get new sample which should be cleared today or Monday. Waiting on that and appraisal now. Whew.
1/29 - DNP
1/30 - DNP
1/31 - Struggling with TMI. Some yesterday, but not enough. Water has been good but food hasn't been ideal. This weekend was a bit all over the place with trying to get BigBro settled in. Today I promised myself I'd do my NF bodyweight workout since I have no excuse to skip it since it's a work day. Plus, its raining and supposed to storm all day anyway so I'm not finding excuses to be outside and procrastinate a workout. Gearing up for a cold front Thursday with wintery mix of ice and snow. On good front: appraisal came back higher than what we requested loan for. Water stuff should be done by Wednesday, and things moving along. Mom is progressing in recovery much much better now she's home. Two huge weights off my shoulder. I apologize if I'm intermittent over the next month or so as this house thing happens. If everything goes somewhat smoothly, we are hoping to close, paint, and move in by end of February. We have a guy that would love to take over our lease and move in, so if that works out, we're hoping he can take over rent in March.

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 …..197.0 ….. (Trend weight 194.9) In the right direction! Today I will try not to say one thing, then do another.
02/01 …..197.0 ….. (Trend weight 195.1) No change. There’s that!
02/02 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
02/03 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
02/04 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
02/05 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
