Goal: No more than 50 g added sugar daily, move in some way that feels good
Highest weight: 178.8

Day/Weight/Comment
2/26 177.6 Holding steady! Most importantly, I've been logging my calories and staying within bounds. THAT is the real win in these early days.
2/27 DNW
2/28 175.2 I've lost almost 4 lbs! After over a YEAR of steadily gaining, this feels great! Obviously, way too soon to see or feel a difference, which is why daily weigh-ins are so helpful. That said, oops totally missed my weigh-in alarm yesterday! It'll be a habit soon.
3/1 175.6 Counting this as holding steady. I'm just really proud of myself for not stress eating during such stressful times (doomscrolling constantly)!

I take measurements because they're less sensitive to salt intake.

I have about 29kg to lose which is likely to take 500 days, although apparently I've been trying to get to goal weight since Oct 2012 when I was last there.

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 starting weight in Oct 2021 was 156.6
Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day, 20-30 minutes of cardio on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days), complete all 6 programmed strength training sessions during my 4 days off per week. Get my spring vegetable seeds in the ground! Can’t believe we will be well and truly into March during this round.

Previous Posts2/26 Work 2/3. Broccoli edamame pea fried rice with seitan for dinner. Peotein: 136
2/27 work 3/3. I have an interview as for a nursing supervisor job at the hospital near me tomorrow.. hope that goes well! I don’t know if I have enough experience for the position but I’m glad they are giving me an interview. Doenjang chigae for dinner tonight. Protein: 141
2/28 First new low I’ve seen in a while. I interviewed for the supervisor position today and think it went well. The thought of going somewhere new and learning new people while also learning a leadership role is a bit scary, but I know I could handle it and it would be a step forward professionally. I knew I didn’t want to stay bedside for very long, so no point in dragging my feet. They still have another person to interview anyway. Lots of activity today. Push-up/pull across, squat clean workout this morning. Long walk in nice weather this afternoon. Leg day for strength. Hit another PR on squats.. 235 for sets of 4. Dal makhani for dinner.

3/1 141.7 Another low. I’ve been debating how much lower I want to go and how long I want to maintain before doing some bulking/cutting cycles. I’ll probably give it another 5-10 lbs. Did a rowing and deadlift workout this morning. Enjoyed the nice weather with my family this afternoon. Push day for strength.. more PR’s! Bench pressed 125 for sets of 2. I’m quite chuffed with how many lifting gains I’ve made while cutting this time. In the past when I’ve cut I’ve felt noticeably weaker even when under the direction of a fitness focused RD. I think it’s been helpful to faithfully follow a structured lifting program (previously I was doing CrossFit with a side of strength programming, versus now strength programming with a side of “CrossFit” style workouts). Plus I’ve been a lot more flexible on my calorie intake. I have a few months of data to work with and my Apple Watch TDEE seems bang on. So, today, I ate 2,100 calories, but that still gives me ~200 calorie deficit for the day. Previous cuts I would stick strictly to the 1600 goal (or whatever it was set at) regardless of my activity and feel hungry all the time. Anyway, I’m getting results and it feels really good.

Round 179 ( my 111th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Need to knuckle down now and make each round count, DS's wedding is later this spring & I want to feel happy with myself on the day. Aim this round to be lower than the start, but a pound would be nice, concentrate on good food choices & think before I put anything in my mouth!!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 then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

With guests in the house, I could not get to the scale on Sunday morning. I didn’t try very hard because Saturday was such a food festival! Yesterday too.
So, I thought this morning would be a shock and awe reading. I can’t explain the results. Tomorrow may be the day it catches up with me.
3/01: 213.8 yup. The good news is I see a small ray of actual motivation over the horizon.
3/02: 213.2
I have to admit disappointment here. Frankly I think I am still paying the piper for the past weekend. (and December and January for that matter.)

2/26- 195.8 (+.2) I was thinking this morning about the bounces, and ups and downs, in this weight loss journey. My bounces up are way lower than where they used to be and that brings a big smile to my face. I tried on some of the clothes in my closet. Several shirts and jackets were added to the donate pile. I’m fitting into some of my Large sized shirts. So exciting! I swam a mile in the pool yesterday and spent time working on a large painting that will be donated to raise funds for pediatric brain cancer. It’s one of the biggest I’ve done and I have a short time frame to finish. Almost there. Life is crazy busy developing new ideas and paintings. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Okay…maybe I’d add losing weight just a little faster.
2/27- 194.4 (-1.2) I had lunch with friends yesterday that I hadn’t seen in over a year. I tried to be smart about my choices, but did eat more than I should. Today I’m walking with my sister and the dogs. It’s going to be really nice this week weather wise. I’m looking forward to being out more.
2/28- 194.2 (-1.4) Swimming today. February included my maintenance break. I’m down 2.8 pounds for the month, which is a bit disappointing. But, down is down and considering a third of the month was in maintenance, that’s not too bad. It was interesting looking back at the journey since I got serious. June: -16.1# July: -6.2# August: -6.8#, September: -11.6# October: -8.2# November: -6.2# December: -7.2# January: -5.8# I track on the Happy Scale app. It’s nice to be able to see the big picture when I get discouraged.
3/1- 193.0 (-2.6) Yay! A new low. My next mini-goal is to get into the 180’s. This will be challenging because I’m heading to an art class in Texas on Sunday with several friends. We plan to walk each day, but I’m not going to be so strict on eating, so I’m expecting a bit of a bounce. Still, the 180’s are in my future. If not this round, then the next one.
3/2- 193.2 (-2.4) Another busy creative day ahead. Swimming twice a week is causing damage to my hair…all that chlorine. My hair stylist suggested a cap and shampoo designed for swimmers. There is a down side to exercise in the pool. Next time I go, I’ll totally soak down my hair before I jump in and in the meantime, find a cute swimming cap with lots of personality.9 -

2/26- 189.4 I made sushi for dinner last night, let my daughter’s request. Of course that meant more carbs than usual. I’m annoyed by the uptick on the scale but know it’s just the carbs. Otherwise, I did okay with food. Today I’m determined to do better. 110 net carbs and step goal hit.
2/27- 191.2 This was my doing this time- it was treat night last night. Right around 100 net carbs all day, Pelo ride done, and step goal hit! I’m ready to put my nose to the grind stone and do the work this week though.
2/28- 190.2 86 net carbs and step goal hit. I’m determined to make some progress this week!
3/1- 188.0 Nice drop! I don’t know what has been going on lately, but it had been a struggle for a while, feeling like I was struggling to control my eating. Yesterday though, was the total opposite, and I’m glad! 71 net carbs and step goal hit.
3/2- 189.0 I had a great day yesterday, so no idea why the uptick. My guess is the Pelo ride? 85 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done.8 -

Hello Everyone 🙂
After way too long I'm working at logging in daily again. This round's goal is to meet every exercise goal regardless of my schedule. I'll be in situations that won't be friendly to my plan but I'll find a way to improvise.
Day/Weight/Comment
2/26 164.0lbs
Today's plan is to stick to my calorie and exercise goals. While carbs matter more for me than most, I should be fine as long as I stick to eating at home.
2/27 163.0lbs
I'm lacking motivation since last night when I took yet another emotional gut punch. Although not a complete surprise, this was instigated by someone who should know better. Today is one of those days when as a reminder to myself, I'll repeatedly declare out loud that I must never allow anyone to steal my joy.
Dinner was touch and go but I did right by myself and skipped it in favor of a small snack. While I was not hungry I came close to ordering out which would have lead to over eating; blowing up my carb count; and waking to self loathing.
After that gut punch I also completed the day's workout. Given I was already half way though my plan, I could have said enough for today. However, this was not a rest day for any of my routines. Caring for myself is a big part of my joy so skipping a routine was no option. Instead I added a little extra.
Keeping with this mind set today
--I weighed myself and posted this accountability challenge first
--Next comes exercise and body measurements
--Followed by aggressively tackling a long over due and critical to do list before the open items blow up my life
It's easy to let external influences stop personal progress. It's hard to keep working at your goals when negative influences result in feeling emotionally raw. However, to neglect oneself in the aftermath is a form of self harm. Today I'm taking care of myself by moving on so that emotional gut punch heals. No one can ever take my joy without my consent.
.
2/28 161.2lbs
The app would not co-operate yesterday. Login okay but message boards inaccessible. It took a minute but I'm back and posting a day late.
Far too little protein and far too many carbs in Sunday. Calories are too low but that's not a problem. The average will work out over time.
This is a rest day for all workouts. I'll need to revise my exercise schedule. I have a few side routines for target training but I'm not sure I like it. By mid week I'll have a new plan.
3/01 162.2lbs
I need to update my food diary but calorie average is under control despite carbs being out of control. Today's weight reflects carb bloating, my normal pattern when I get near carbs.
There is still bullshoot trying to cloud my world. Thank God I have my head on straight. No more allowing bullshoot to knock me off my game. There will always be obstacles. Few are real. I can always behave in the best interest of my health.
3/02 161.2lbs
I've been weighing different times of day under varying conditions because the ultimate goal is to stay consistently below 140lbs. Hopefully I'll become less focused on the scale moving and more focused on long term consistency.
Calories are better than I thought once I logged the total for each day. No extra calories but the nutrition portion yet to be logged is high carb, low protein, and everything I don't need. That's what happens when I order in for convenience. Options are limited when I don't want to pick up. Home cooked meals are always healthiest.
Exercise is still under review but I'm moving. A plan is preferred but what matters most is doing something daily. I'm back to regular cardio, strength & flexibility. A defined routine will follow.

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.

2/26 118.5 In-n-Out Flying Dutchman seemed really salty to me but salt doesn’t usually make me gain. 🤷♀️
2/27 119.5 (No TMI x 2?) Sewing day today and low carb snacky lunch.
2/28 119.5 Somewhat productive sewing day. Enough other movement that I didn’t end up with a headache due to arthritis in my neck. DD#2 was there, I took her home after. DGD#3 came down to hug me and I felt DGGB#1 move - 21 weeks down, 19 to go. Art Quilts, etc this morning and I’m off!
3/1 119.0 1/2 Greek salad for dinner w/steak for dinner yesterday’s OMAD after 20 hour IF, tonight burgers (from the grill) and veg.
3/2 119.0 I know I have been lacking in the most important macro lately - protein. I need to make more of an an effort to get that in.
I can’t believe we’re at the half way mark of this round!!!7
