Day/Weight/Comment
01/27 - 198.4 - Stayed below 200 this morning but the real test will be if I can maintain this through the weekend. Ate pretty well yesterday and definitely at a deficit considering all the working out I did. This morning woke up and did essentially an hour of leg workouts so I fully expect to not be able to move tomorrow lol.
01/28 - 199.7 - Have to imagine just normal water fluctuations here, especially considering my workouts this morning weren't as sweat-inducing. I was supposed to do a 20 minute lower body workout but after yesterday my body said NO! and I listened. Sunday will mark the 1 year anniversary of the 6 day stay in the hospital and 1.5 months on supplemental oxygen. I'm going to use my lungs hard this weekend in celebration of making it through that.
01/29 - 199.5
01/30 - 202.8
01/31 - 200.8 - This is why I didn’t count my chickens before they hatched. Final weekend before tax season kicks into full gear so I did some extra eating/drinking. Now I’m done drinking until after tax season and the workouts will continue. I woke up at 5am just to get my hour+ of workouts in and I feel great. I will lose 20 lbs by the end of tax season… ideally by my 32nd birthday in March!
02/01 - 200.0 - I have this idea to wake up and get strength and cardio workouts in before a long work day. In my mind it’s perfect, my body hates me in the morning though. I’m going to need to figure out what I can do through this busy season to stay active and keep losing while being able to work.
02/02 - 197.5 - This was a pleasant surprise, but I will chalk a lot of this up to possibly not drinking enough water yesterday. Been a stressful time at work and just forgetting to drink as much. NSV: I bought new jeans because my wife said the "new pair" I bought in August were too loose. These new jeans are the smallest I've had since college... and they're loose!
02/03 - 196.9 - A new low for me this morning. Maybe finally breaking through that almost 2 month plateau! I have to bring more healthy snacks to work so I don't shove garbage in my mouth at night. That's the one correction I know I need to make.
02/04 - 197.1 - Not going to fret about .2 lbs up. Today was leg day of HCOTF so I did a low-impact ride so my legs aren't completely dead tomorrow. Weekend is here, although that doesn't mean anything during tax season, but maybe that'll keep my diet in check!

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.
2/02 - 178.2, 178.6
So much for behaving myself—I went a bit crazy last night. Oh, well. Starting over today. The snow has begun—10-12 inches on the way. I’m hoping to do some painting today—a watercolor dog portrait I donated to a Christmas raffle. I haven’t been painting for a while for fear of the puppy getting into stuff, but he’s old enough to behave himself with supervision. Stay warm & safe, everyone.
2/03 - 178.2, 178.7
Snow! Lots of snow!
2/04 - 180, 179.6
What??? Ok, whatever—salt, time lag, curse of the evil warlock…. I did get some exercise yesterday—shoving some of our 11 inches of snow. Wheee! Now it’s going to be a deep freeze for a few days. I’m hoping to bounce back down to end this round, but it is what it is. Happy Friday!

Yesterday I added extra fat with 2 meals of salmon, 1 TB of coconut oil, + my daily 33 grams
And I felt fuller and lost weight.

"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

Day/Weight/Comment
1/27 - 146 - I've kept up with my food diary and steps. This frigid weather really tests my strength to resist comfort food. I bought some diet hot chocolate (25 calories) to get me through my afternoon munchies at the office.
1/28 - 146 - I had some extra sodium yesterday and I will probably have extra tonight. I'll try to drink more water to compensate.
1/29 - 146 - It was a cold drive in to work, -14F wind chill, but it's better than the blizzard the East coast is facing today. I hope everyone here facing those winds and snow stay safe and warm.
1/30 - 146
1/31 - 146.5 - Went a little overboard on snacking this weekend. Back on track today.
2/01 - 146.5
2/02 - 146 - A little stressed due to the impending Winter storm. Gathering work at my office today to work from home tomorrow. It looks like my area will likely escape most of the ice, so that was good news this morning. After the 16 inches of snow we got 2 weeks ago, 12 doesn't sound too bad and it is a lot better than ice accumulations. I hope everyone else in the path of this storm stays safe.
2/03 - 146 - Working from home today. I just need to stay away from the kitchen and walk around the house to keep up on my steps.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Previous posts:I need to be back here with you all after a 5-week hiatus. I had my scale with me, which only confirmed my need for a disciplined approach.
I am afraid I have not kept up with reading your posts over the past weeks, so I am hoping all is well with my old friends. I was made aware of the fragility of life when my 61-year-old neighbor / good friend passed away while I was away. Complications from Covid seems to be the reason.
And hello to those of you who have joined since mid-December.

Ok, back at the tracking after a long lazy break from reality. Well, not a total break. I kept one oar in the water at all times regarding work. But you will never convince me that remote working is more efficient than in-person presence at the office. (Take it with a grain of salt because I am the same guy who said computer aided design will never replace hand drafting. Ha!)
Anyway… I have some work to do on this body of mine. I have my annual holiday-damage-control to do. JGMTD176

Yesterday was a day where I chose to eat the comfort food set before me. Pot roast at Rotary lunch, and cake.
On another note, I dislike winter very much. Going to try to get moving this weekend somehow.

Happy Saturday everyone!

Snowstorm yesterday. Lots of snow management activity and lots of comfort food conjured up by the Mrs.
It’s amazing how I had no time to log all of my food…or was it that I didn’t want to see what kind of damage home made ham and bean soup with cornbread/butter/syrup did.
Not much of a productive day for the office overall since our parking lot was off-limits to mere mortal vehicles. Good thing we could log in from home. I am back in the office today.
2/4: 215.2
Logged all food yesterday. Therefore this is no surprise.

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

UGW for now: 200, then reevaluate
Goal for this round: less than I started with

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 10 lbs lost since returning to MFP last month!
2/2 255.8 I expected a bit of a bump because I know I’ve had more sodium than usual this week. Hoping for a whoosh in the next couple of days. Meals for today are planned and logged (and low in sodium!).
2/3 255.8 Nothing to see here. Literally.
2/4 255.2 Meals planned and logged. Drinking lots of water in prep for Friday pizza night.

Hi, I’m Karen and am in my 50’s.
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
GW-149.
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
2/1-168-Lots of errands to run today. Hopefully a horse ride this afternoon and will have my quilts finished up.
2/2-It is miserably windy here. I started out OK yesterday and then ate crap the rest of the day as I ran errands..... I should have brought a healthy snack.😬
2/3-169-Made chicken soup- must have been the salt. We have had horrible wind and I think today it is finally over. If I want exercise, I need to ride the bike to get past all of the hungry and bored bees, waiting for the orchards to bloom.
2/4-168-Made chicken chili. Long horse ride and finished the quilts I’ve been working on. I can’t wait to give them away.8 -

1/27: 145.5 - Holding steady. Normal workout and eating
1/28: 144.8 - Happy to get a mini-whoosh! Normal workout. Went a little higher in calories than normal though within budget, but went over goal in protein and fat and under in carbs.
1/29: 144.8 - A late afternoon workout, but got it in. Pizza and wine for dinner, but stayed in calories
1/30: 144.8 - Holding steady. Normal workout, ate up to my limit including exercise calories
1/31: 144.8 - Holding steady. Normal workout plus a walk. Ate a little more than normal, but within calories. Had a hard time falling asleep.
2/1: 144.0 - Officially one pound below my driver's license weight! Haven't been there in about 12 years. Normal workout, eating lots of fiber and protein, but still a lot of carbs. Was able to fall asleep fine, but then woke up in the middle of the night and had trouble falling back to sleep
2/2: 144.4 - Dinner was a bit salty so hoping that was part of the blip. Other than that, everything else normal: workout, walking, eating, sleeping
2/3: 144.0 - I hope this holds since this is my goal weight for the round. Did an extra long workout but I also ate back almost all of those exercise calories. Good sleep.
2/4: 145.5 - Hmm, don’t know what to say. Normal workout, eating and sleep.

@SModa61 I certainly understand your frustration! After the mess we had with Carnival, trying to cancel our cruise for October! After a week of multiple unreturned calls, we finally got a human who returned the call. The cancellation and full refund were handled in a matter of a few minutes. Trying to cancel online yielded a message that we were not eligible for a refund.

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.

2/2 117.0 Shopping didn’t happen. Someone hit DH’s car, speeding and passing on the right on a one lane road! No injuries. Couldn’t get Real ID because I haven’t seen my Social Security card since I last worked. The number is printed on a document from SSA but that wasn’t good enough. DHS/Federal rules do not require social security info for Real ID so it must be a Nevada rule which is interesting since they require NO ID to vote in this state!

28: ???
29: DNW 🥚 Away from home overnight.
30: 203.3 🥚 Friday evening through Saturday evening were quite indulgent. Late night snacks while drinking and multiple fast food meals aren't usually my thing, but I had a fun weekend and know the bump up is temporary. Back on track today.
31: 202.5 🥚 Calories and carbs were great yesterday but not enough water. Still feeling bloated, likely a combo from the weekend and hormones.
❄️🌨️🧣February 🧣🌨️❄️
1: 198.7 🥚 Well, I guess my weekend gains are gone! I'm seeing today that my entries are messed up. I somehow managed to miss Friday weigh in and entered Saturday's DNW for Friday. Maybe I grabbed the wrong entry to add to. Idk 🤷🏽
2: 198.9 Not enough water yesterday. Used my weighted hula hoop for about 10 minutes, and boy is my stomach bruised. Muscles feel a little sore, but not as bad as I expected.

1/27 / 179.8 / Fun to start with a taste of the new decade. Getting my walks in, riding the Peloton, and eating nourishing and delicious food. Happy the weekend is almost here!
1/28 / 180.4 / Busy work day, slightly shorter Peloton ride, dinner, and then a video call with my MIL for nearly three hours. Time to rest!
1/29 / 179.6 / Sun is shining so we're going to walk to the grocery store for a couple things for brunch. I have the dentist today, I want to do some core strength, and we're going to a movie tonight. Dinner and my popcorn already pre-tracked so my day can work around it.
1/30 / 180 / Fun day yesterday... one shorter walk and a long one where I ran into a friend. Hubby and I had a food court dinner and went to see A King's Man. Off to snowshoe in the mountains today.
1/31 / 180.2 / Another Monday is here. I am donating blood right after work so staying hydrated and nourished beforehand is key!
2/1 / 178 / Was back on the bike today before work. Snowy here so I'm going to try Peloton's shadow boxing on my lunch break instead of my usual walk.
2/2 / 178.4 / Still cold here today. Started the morning with another Peloton boxing session. Plans for lower body strength and hopefully a bike ride. Gotta get through work first!
2/3 / 179.2 / New 45 PR on the Peloton yesterday and a yummy steak dinner. It's still cold here but it's going to warm up in time for the weekend. Yay!
2/4 / 179.6 / Weather has warmed enough that I'll get out for a walk at lunch. Did a length strength workout yesterday and I'm feeling it today, in a good way! Hoping to do a shorter Peloton ride tonight as well.

2/04 - 151.7 - Likely remnants from Chinese food dinner as well as heavy dinner at Fam's last night. Also had a glass of wine last night. Water goals have continuously been met so I'm not too worried. Working on getting back on track food-wise today. Not quite sure what I'll make up for lunch, but I have a zucchini to make up before it goes bad. I'm not particularly hungry yet so I've got time. Need to do my NF workout as I've procrasted it to the point of not giving myself opportunity to do it. The boys running to the store after they eat so I'll knock it out then and postpone lunch a little for what is likely a later dinner at Fam's (why do they eat so dang late!?) Just finished my virtual appointment. Doc is sending me a continuous glucose monitor to track what's going on. My labs are all over the place and with a very strong genetic predisposition, we are working on stopping it before it becomes prediabetes or full-on type2 diabetes. Everything else is quite good. Glad she's not waiting for a diagnosis to help me like most docs do.
2/05
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.
2/01 - 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.
2/02 - No idea. I feel heavier, but don't look any more bloated. Bodies are weird. For Imbolc, I baked a lemon glazed zucchini bread (first attempt at both zucchini bread and glaze). It turned out really well. I had a small piece of overcooked side, but not much (I had to try it before I gave a slice to BigBro!) Workout due today which I'll get to here in a bit. Winter storm supposed to hit overnight with ice, sleet, and snow, but we may get some rain later this afternoon if the forecast is even somewhat accurate. Not much else to report. I have almost this entire 10 days thread worth of catching up on everyone's posts which I'm excited about as soon as I complete this post. Not much else to report.
2/03 - Chinese food last night. Despite plenty of water, I just couldn't match the sodium. BigBro and BF wanted sushi before we got iced/snowed in. It's not too bad today, just cold. We did have heavy sleet this morning, but it doesn't seem to really have caused too much an issue. Going to Fam's house for dinner tonight, apparently. Not sure what's on the menu, but I almost never do until it's on the table. Not sure what's in the plans this weekend, I suppose it's dependent on weather/road conditions.

2/1. 141.4
2/2. 139.4. My morning routine changed a bit yesterday and I didn't get to posting my weight, doing it now. Got a half a foot of snow yesterday; most of the snow from a few days ago had melted, at least off of the roads. Getting low on lettuce, but have a couple more days worth (my husband and I have salads for dinner (and have for three years!)). We occasionally have soup for dinner and I'm planning to make some homemade soup tomorrow or so. I'm making a sausage corn chowder. I don't know if it was this thread that someone mentioned this kind of soup, but we''ll try it out. Here's to staying warm!
