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.
3/3- 193.6 (-2.0) Looking forward to my short trip. Leaving on Sunday, so I won’t have access to a scale. I plan to fit in Orange Theory Fitness between meetings.
3/4 193.6 (-2.0) Never did get to Orange Theory yesterday. I’ve been trying so hard to mover forward on major projects before I leave on Sunday. I got a lot done yesterday. Did graze a bit too much with the added stress. Things will quiet down a little when I get back, so I plan to get back on my eating and exercise routine. The big painting is done!! It’s called, “Waiting Up” and is 48” x 36”. I’ll drop it off at Artma Denver next Friday so they can auction it off during their fund-raiser in April.
3/5 192.2 (-3.4) Wow! What a nice surprise. And…while I’m sure vanity sizing was part of the reason, I wore a pair of cute size 14 pants yesterday. They were comfortable and fit perfectly.

New round, new attitude. My internist has moved on to other things, so I have a new-patient appointment with another doctor in the same practice in late July. That’s 20 weeks, and I’d like to be down 15-20 pounds by then. With weather warming up for more walks, getting back to serious tracking with my pup (lots of walking!), getting back to garden work, and eating more veggies, fewer snacks, it should be doable. Please kick my butt if I make more excuses!
2/27 - 178.2
Yesterday was a good day, and today is planned. It’s soup day! I’m making Savannah Beans & Greens soup from the Moosewood vegetarian cookbook. I’ve never made it before, but it sounds yummy. Have a lovely Sunday, all!
2/28 - 177.8
Hard to believe, but there goes February!
3/01 - 177.6
☘️🌷🌱🌹☘️ March! It’s meteorological Spring! The birds are very busy around my nesting boxes this morning—mostly sparrows, but I have seen a pair of bluebirds inspecting a box I protect for them. Yesterday I ordered a hydrangea I’ve been wanting for two years, and four more climbing roses. I always get the gardening itch way too early, but I may do a little pruning and pull some vines off trellises. Have a great day!
3/02 - 177.8
I’ve finally pulled my watercolors out of the closet and yesterday I made the sketch for a painting which I’ll start today. It’s been too long! @coblujay your cute paintings helped push me along! 🎨 I feel like I need a class schedule type date book and some stick-to-it-iveness to fit in the things I want to do (and used to do!) with regularity—writing new book, painting, training my pup for competition, long walks with said pup, trying new knitting techniques, reading, gardening soon, keeping up relationships with friends…. How did I used to get so much done? Isolation has made me lazy and undisciplined (and heavier!). Anyway, spring always energizes me—more light!—so I’m hoping to pick up the pace. Being busier will help me get the weight back off, too.
3/03 - 177
I made baked oatmeal yesterday for a few days’ worth of breakfasts and forgot the eggs. Duh. Doncha hate when you do that? Still tastes great, reasonable calories, very satisfying. I poured a little plain unsweetened kefir over it this morning and it was great. Next time with eggs!
3/04 - 177.4
Salty lunch yesterday—Mexican carry out—but my calories were on track. Rory and I had a great last pair of doggy school classes for the session last night, so I got a couple hours of exercise. Club has some great classes scheduled next session, so I’m excited about that both to keep me moving and to use up puppy energy. He’s 8 months old now and full of his adolescent self! I’m going to restart my old “wunning” program soon. I used to “wun”—walk & run intervals usin* an interval timer—but got away from it. Time to get back to that, I think, and long walks. Spring makes me want to get off my lazy butt!

Chilly morning, but it’s supposed to warm up to 71 this afternoon—yay! I have a walk in the park planned. Have a lovely Saturday.

Day/Weight/Comment
2/26: 141.5 - Had a fun dinner party at our house last night with some old work friends. Did get my workout in at the start of my day and was running around all day getting everything prepped. I decided to stop counting calories after I pre-logged and even the most minimal of servings of what I made put me over the goal. This next week I will have to work hard to get back down to where I ended the last round, just in time to travel and eat out the last few days of the round.
2/27: 141.3 - Although I’ve been exercising and getting a lot of move points on my Apple Watch, I’m disappointed in myself the last 2 nights of late night eating. Totally within my control, but need to stop it. What the two evenings have in common were that my eating patterns were out of the norm. Night 1 was the dinner party - fine to go over calories, but really no need to keep eating after the guests have left. Last night was a hockey game - ate dinner early and had a lot of calories left to meet goal. Guess what I did at 10pm? I recognize the issue, but don’t yet quite have my habit/strategy in place to combat it every time.
2/28: 140.2 - Yay! Back to where I ended the last round. Focused on my calories yesterday. Did my normal workout plus a 3.5 mile walk. Good sleep.
3/1: 140.4 - Interval workout and a short walk. Normal eating, a little high on carbs/fat. Slept well.
3/2: 140.4 - Interval workout and a short walk. Normal eating.
3/3: 140.4 - Holding steady. I'll get a workout in today before getting in a car for 5 hours.
3/4: - DNW - traveling and no scale. Got my workout in before a 5 hour drive. Eating was within calories but barely as I had to estimate dinner.
3/5: - DNW - traveling and no scale. 8 plus miles of walking yesterday to counteract eating out for brunch and dinner.
3/6: - DNW - traveling and no scale
3/7: -
Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: + 0.2 pounds

2/26-169-Long day in the car yesterday, so not much water. Was gone for a couple of days, but made wise food choices. I want to get a walk and horse ride in today and DH wants to go fishing.
3/1-171-Big weekend of eating and it hasn’t gotten any better. I’ve been transplanting my seedlings I’ve sprouted and we had frost while I was gone. The ones in the ground did fine. Those in containers, sitting out in the open are dead. We have another cold night coming up....
3/2-DNW-Cooked a turkey.
3/3-170-Made turkey soup. I am experimenting with the turkey from what I read on another thread......you cook the turkey, take all of the meat off of the bones, and place meat in a baking pan, pour all juice and drippings over meat. Simmer stock made from bones, skin and some spices and veges then pour that over turkey and freeze. When ready to eat it, thaw overnight and heat the next day 30 min. This saves carving the turkey while you are trying to get everything else ready. I’ll let you know how it goes.
3/4-170 Well, I made turkey soup and it’s got some salt..... I went for a short walk in the morning, especially to tire the dogs out since I was taking them to get their shots. Friend asked me to come over and quilt for a few hours in the afternoon. Quick horse ride after that then made dinner. I had pork ribs I seasoned and put in oven on low for 2 hours then just grilled to brown and they were good. Lots I want to do today!!!
3/5-168-Made chili verde, cleaned house, loaded a quilt on the long arm. The quilt is made from blocks made by my husbands great grandmother, I am going to surprise my SIL with it. I was given the blocks about 15 years ago when they cleaned out the grandmothers house. Rode the horse with the bareback pad and we we galloped a bit and dang, I am sore. Also, made high protein coffee and @quiltingjaine, it was good!6 -

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.

SW RND 179 118.0
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.
3/3 119.0 Drank half of a high protein coffee yesterday before DH said he was hungry. We went to El Pollo Loco. I ate a thigh and leg (these pieces keep getting smaller and smaller,) the Loco Salad was nothing but iceberg lettuce (I ate half,) the broccoli was good. I’ll finish the coffee today when I break my fast. I’m beginning to think the scale is stuck. EDIT: almost 8.5 hours of sleep!
3/4 119.5 Ghengis Grill for early lunch yesterday-chicken and veg, 3 small meat only tacos at 6PM
3/5 119.0 This is weird. And today I’m baking a ham. What was I thinking buying a 12# ham for two people? We’ll see what happens.🤷♀️
@AR10at50 I find the protein coffee very satisfying. I seem to have gotten away from doing that first thing in the morning. Perhaps that is what has my scale is doing this weirdness.4 -

Day/Weight/Comment
02/25 …..198.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/26 …..196.2 ….. (Trend weight 196.2) Off to a good start with a better day yesterday. Good luck everyone meeting your dietary and/or fitness goals this round. I love reading all the updates!
02/27 …..197.0 ….. Trend weight 196.4) A horrible night of mini binge after mini binge. Absolutely eating my emotions over a bad behavior I displayed and should not have. Eating my guilt over spoken words and actions that were beneath me. Today I will make amends and hope for the best. I woke up starving from such late night eating. No TMI. No sleep last night. Full of remorse paired with my guilt. God has been good to me, I should be better to others and watch my temper and wicked mouth!
02/28 …..198.2 ….. (Trend weight 196.5) Wow! A huge jump and I’m not sure why. Light breakfast, no lunch and chili for dinner. ½ bowl because it was so FILLING! Hardly any sleep again due to grandson’s early wake-up time. I will be extra thoughtful today. I will NOT hit 200 again.
03/01 …..196.6 ….. (Trend weight 196.5) Same breakfast as yesterday, no lunch again and chili for dinner, ½ bowl because it was so FILLING again! Low sleep due to grandson again. Same snack. Instead of 1.2 lb gain I had a 1.6 lb loss. The road is confusing, the journey can be strange. Keeping your eye on the prize is essential. I’m working on another good day.
03/02 …..197.4 ….. (Trend weight 196.6) Late night snacks were over the top and just too much at once and at all. Well problems again today even with the new well pump. The pump was kicking on & off quickly when using water and grinding somewhat. Sounded bad and I knew it wasn’t right. I called the well company back and they said my bladder must be bad. I had a new one put in about a year ago but they said it is definitely bad. The hardware store ones (home depot etc) are just not good. Also, of course, they cannot warranty any but their own. They said they would give me a break and do it for $900.00. That will be between 3 and 4 thousand total on a too small well that will need to be replaced at some point. Why me? Did I stress eat last night or just crave eat? I dunno.
03/03 …..196.2 ….. (Trend weight 196.6) The well company made an adjustment and we’re hoping the bladder is okay. So I didn’t have to put out the extra $900 yesterday. Let’s hope this works! An average day yesterday with food and exercise/movement yet there is a drop. I just keep bouncing back & forth and my inconsistencies are showing up on the scale with inconsistent weights. Perhaps that will speak to me loud enough.
03/04 …..196.0 ….. (Trend weight 196.5) Very very very stressful night last night with DGS who lives with me (age 4). I tried very hard not to over (stress) eat. I honestly thought I was going to have a heart attack, I certainly couldn’t breathe. His temper tantrums are horrific and I honestly think he becomes hysterical, not just upset. The screaming is ear-piercing and he stands his ground and becomes dead weight. His mom was not home so it was on me. It’s not like this every night or day, thank God, but it’s often enough. No wonder God don’t let old ladies have babies anymore. It was too much for me. I’ve got to get him “unspoiled” or me, trying to help my daughter, is not going to work. Gosh, I love him. But it’s overbearing when he gets like that!
03/05 …..198.2 ….. (Trend weight 196.7) A whole new level of stupid. Yes, I am talking about me! Meals were very good. Snacks were over-the-top and likely related to boredom as I finally had a bit of time to myself.

Don’t know what’s wrong with her but I’m and out of the hospital/rehab/home for the last 3 weeks. She told her husband she wants to die because of the pain and asked his permission yesterday “to go.” Married about 60 years. Not on hospice but maybe after the PET scan a doctor can order that. Tests a year or so ago showed nothing. It’s so sad. Prayers for your neighbor’s family and friends and for ours.
@quiltingjaine your note is amazing because the evening before I talked to them about giving her permission to go. I believe "it's a thing."4 -

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.

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.)

Follow the bouncing ball. (Who among us knows the reference?)
On a serious note, this morning I walked across the street to offer hugs to the family of the dear lady who has been on hospice in her home for some time. The funeral home came to collect her this morning. Sad time for her husband and grown daughters, but also happy that she no longer suffers.
This life is short, so I don’t want to take anything for granted. Give someone a hug today.

Had some friends over yesterday and my eating went off the rails. Not upset about it, just getting back to my routine.

I'll take a push. Did an extra walk yesterday. Have today off work so planning to hit the gym hard and then have an adventure. Weather will be beautiful today and I'm not spending it inside!

This feels great after the month long stall. Can't believe how it's dropping now. I'm so grateful for everyone's support!

What the heck?! Bodies are so weird... I am officially 50 pounds down today. Gonna go find something heavy to remind myself what it's like walking around with that much extra. And bracing for a bump up tomorrow.
Round 179 loss: -5.2 lbs7 -
@deepwoodslady Donna. You gotta stop being mean to yourself. Calling yourself names does nothing but bring you down and you don't need that on top of everything else. Be accountable, but if you think something about yourself that you wouldn't say to a friend, get it out of your brain!5

26: 193.5 🥚 Honestly shocked by this. Fancy birthday dinner was amazing. Ribeye (I saved about half of it for today) with bagna cauda sauce, potato pave, and arugula salad with a glass of red wine. Started fasting an hour later than usual.
27: 194.9 I was so hungry yesterday. I'm not surprised by the increase, as I was well over my calories. Not a typical thing for me, so I'm confident the gain will be lost soon.

I've visited a couple different friends, had a night of drinking in an outdoor hot tub, a lazy night on the couch with Reacher and snacks, and have my kids home again after only a few days with their dad. Not logging really, but at least back to IF after the late nights with friends. Plan to be fully back in the game at least by Monday, possibly tomorrow. Thanks for the compliments @deepwoodslady and @AR10at50 !

Goals: HIT.MY.STEP.GOAL!!! 10,000/day; <100 carbs/day; Pelo ride 2-3x/week; end the round lower than what I started it at.
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.
3/3- 188.0 86net carbs and step goal hit. I was hoping to drop below this number, but oh well. Eventually it’ll happen, right?
3/4- 188.0 69 net carbs and step goal hit. I’ve been so frustrated with this stall, but this morning I looked at my Happy Scale app graph, and it’s showing the trend moving down now. So… I’ll hold out a bit longer. Maybe my body still needs more time to adjust to the increase in calories. I’m looking forward to seeing something below 188 again though!
3/5- 188.2 I’m okay with this. 89 net carbs, steps in, and Pelo ride done. I took a look back at what had been working so well for me before, and noticed something interesting. Back about mid January, I tried using a HRM while riding the Pelo. I attempted it about four times, but could never get it to work right. Well, after I had used it, Pelo started spitting out a ridiculously large calorie burn. I’ve always eaten back a portion of exercise calories on at least some workout days. So I think I’ve been overeating because of Pelo’s crazy numbers! I’m going to tweak this and hopefully I’ll be back to losing again.7 -
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. Protein: 159
3/1 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. Protein: 153
3/2 Feeling like spring! The soil in my vegetable garden is still too wet, so I’m planning to get spring seeds in the ground on Saturday. Walked about 5 miles at the park. Pull day for strength today with lots of heavy rack pulls. Lentil salad with a tahini nutritional yeast dressing for dinner. Protein: 142
3/3 work 1/2. Busy busy. Roasted potato, cauliflower with a red bell pepper sauce and tofu. Protein: 116
3/4 work 2/2. Another very busy day. Work has been hard on my back recently.. we’ve had some very heavy patients and even being pretty strong and trying to use proper body mechanics I’ve managed to hurt my back a few times in the past couple of weeks. No rest for me though.. cause tomorrow is spring vegetable planting day! Dal with some broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots thrown in for extra veggies and seitan for dinner. Protein: 126

Day/Weight/Comment
2/26 ~ 200.2. Went on a 7.5k walk and out for dinner was wondering if my sodium intake would be too high but I seemed to fair ok. Happy Saturday!!
2/27 ~ 199.4 I was busy in the day and the weather was terrible here so I decided to go walk the 2 largest Supermarkets to get my steps in. It worked! Hit steps and activity.
2/28 ~ 198.9 Steps and activity good. Focusing on hitting my calorie range and hitting my Fats (macros), I tend to look at calories and slight my fats so I am trying to get balanced. I am dropping fairly fast so I am over estimating but that can be because SO is home and I figure he is over using the olive oil. ... Let's bring on March!!
3/1 ~ 198.7 ... 11,000 and 62 minutes. Hit calories and upped fats.
3/2 ~ 198.8 ...13,500 and 94 min. Unplanned dinner out with oldest son. Went on a short walk around town while waiting for them to meet us. Hit fats for sure. Happy Hump Day!!
3/3 ~ 197.9 ... Not sure how this happened I was expecting an increase I forgot about a pizza fundraiser with no room in the freezer so we had it for dinner! 10,000 and 68 min. I developed a sciatica issue yesterday afternoon and am moving very slow today. Walking does help but I'm not sure I can push my step goals today as I can usually rush a few steps here and there.
3/4 ~ 199.3 ... While my weight made a large jump my body fat lost a whole %, muscle mass up 2%, interesting! I'm sure everything will change again within the next few days. 11,000 and 74 min. Sciatica still bothering me, doing lots of stretching. Happy Friday All!!
3/5 ~ 197.9 12,400 and 70. Sciatica is getting better. Yay!! Was a beautiful sunny day here today and had the grandson should have some good steps to log tomorrow. Hope you all had a wonderful Saturday. ☀️

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)!
3/2 177 It's fine. When I was in this group last time, I plotted my trend weight for well over a year and it taught me that while I should absolutely celebrate an overnight 1.5 lb loss, I should NOT despair over an overnight 1.5 lb gain. The daily fluctuations smooth out over time and there will be a downward trend as long as I keep sticking to my plan!
3/3 176 I've never been one of those people who loses 5 lbs the first week. Slow and steady, bobbing up and down, but as long as it's ultimately down, I'll take it!
3/4 175 Lowest weight since I re-joined this group! Only 5 lbs from seeing the 160s again (yes, I realize it could be higher tomorrow, but enjoying this number today)!
3/5 176.2 Ah, well, it'll drop again!

New round, new attitude. My internist has moved on to other things, so I have a new-patient appointment with another doctor in the same practice in late July. That’s 20 weeks, and I’d like to be down 15-20 pounds by then. With weather warming up for more walks, getting back to serious tracking with my pup (lots of walking!), getting back to garden work, and eating more veggies, fewer snacks, it should be doable. Please kick my butt if I make more excuses!
2/27 - 178.2
Yesterday was a good day, and today is planned. It’s soup day! I’m making Savannah Beans & Greens soup from the Moosewood vegetarian cookbook. I’ve never made it before, but it sounds yummy. Have a lovely Sunday, all!

☘️🌷🌱🌹☘️ March! It’s meteorological Spring! The birds are very busy around my nesting boxes this morning—mostly sparrows, but I have seen a pair of bluebirds inspecting a box I protect for them. Yesterday I ordered a hydrangea I’ve been wanting for two years, and four more climbing roses. I always get the gardening itch way too early, but I may do a little pruning and pull some vines off trellises. Have a great day!
3/02 - 177.8
I’ve finally pulled my watercolors out of the closet and yesterday I made the sketch for a painting which I’ll start today. It’s been too long! @coblujay your cute paintings helped push me along! 🎨 I feel like I need a class schedule type date book and some stick-to-it-iveness to fit in the things I want to do (and used to do!) with regularity—writing new book, painting, training my pup for competition, long walks with said pup, trying new knitting techniques, reading, gardening soon, keeping up relationships with friends…. How did I used to get so much done? Isolation has made me lazy and undisciplined (and heavier!). Anyway, spring always energizes me—more light!—so I’m hoping to pick up the pace. Being busier will help me get the weight back off, too.
3/03 - 177
I made baked oatmeal yesterday for a few days’ worth of breakfasts and forgot the eggs. Duh. Doncha hate when you do that? Still tastes great, reasonable calories, very satisfying. I poured a little plain unsweetened kefir over it this morning and it was great. Next time with eggs!
3/04 - 177.4
Salty lunch yesterday—Mexican carry out—but my calories were on track. Rory and I had a great last pair of doggy school classes for the session last night, so I got a couple hours of exercise. Club has some great classes scheduled next session, so I’m excited about that both to keep me moving and to use up puppy energy. He’s 8 months old now and full of his adolescent self! I’m going to restart my old “wunning” program soon. I used to “wun”—walk & run intervals usin* an interval timer—but got away from it. Time to get back to that, I think, and long walks. Spring makes me want to get off my lazy butt!
3/05 - 177.2
Chilly morning, but it’s supposed to warm up to 71 this afternoon—yay! I have a walk in the park planned. Have a lovely Saturday.

Yeah, Saturday excess. It’s ok, it will drop back off if I behave myself. Happy Sunday!

Goals: HIT.MY.STEP.GOAL!!! 10,000/day; <100 carbs/day; Pelo ride 2-3x/week; end the round lower than what I started it at.
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.
3/3- 188.0 86net carbs and step goal hit. I was hoping to drop below this number, but oh well. Eventually it’ll happen, right?
3/4- 188.0 69 net carbs and step goal hit. I’ve been so frustrated with this stall, but this morning I looked at my Happy Scale app graph, and it’s showing the trend moving down now. So… I’ll hold out a bit longer. Maybe my body still needs more time to adjust to the increase in calories. I’m looking forward to seeing something below 188 again though!
3/5- 188.2 I’m okay with this. 89 net carbs, steps in, and Pelo ride done. I took a look back at what had been working so well for me before, and noticed something interesting. Back about mid January, I tried using a HRM while riding the Pelo. I attempted it about four times, but could never get it to work right. Well, after I had used it, Pelo started spitting out a ridiculously large calorie burn. I’ve always eaten back a portion of exercise calories on at least some workout days. So I think I’ve been overeating because of Pelo’s crazy numbers! I’m going to tweak this and hopefully I’ll be back to losing again.
3/6- 187.2 YES! I think I’m onto something here! Lowered my calories to around 1450 yesterday, hit my steps, and 83 net carbs. Fingers crossed this continues.10 -

Day/Weight/Comment
2/26 / 176 / This is a new low weight for me. I am 8 pounds away from the original goal I set to lose 125 pounds. At 168, I will be in my normal BMI range. It's funny because it's SO close after the distance I've travelled but mentally it sorta feels far yet. One day at a time, am I right? So thankful to be walking this journey with all of you.
2/27 / 175.8 / We had a great day yesterday. We drove up north with friends for dog grooming and brunch. My husband and I went to the movies at night. Got a good lower body strength day and walk fit in between the two events.
2/28 / 177.2 / Huge day of exercise today... first we snowshoed for 1.5 hours, then we did a nature walk of just over 40 minutes, and I finished the day with 60 minutes on the Peloton and a 5 minute stretch. The weather was so amazing!
3/1 / 176.4 / Busy day yesterday but I got in my 10K steps. I am starting to get the house ready for company as my dad is flying in later this week. Work is also busy and we went out at night to see one more of the Best Picture nominees for the Oscars.
3/2 / 176.2 / My brother arrived last night so we had dinner at my Mom's house. We each got take-out but my husband and I picked a different restaurant that fit into our needs a bit better. I also retested my FTP on the Peloton yesterday and I've made some great gains there. Feels awesome.
3/3 / 176.4 / Planned maintenance day today as I'm off to the Flames game with my husband for work and there will be less control on food and drink than normal. Got my Peloton ride done before work.
3/4 / 173.4 / Flames game was fun.. we had box seats for a corporate event so there was plenty of food and drink. Unfortunately they lost in OT! I haven't been to a hockey game in years. My Dad gets in for a 10 day stay today so the routine will be impacted for sure but I have a solid foundation of habits.
3/5 / 174 / First dinner out with the family upon my dad's arrival stuck to plan. There was temptation I did not give in to as it would have been mindless eating. Started today with a 60 minute live Peloton ride - my 150th ride!
3/6 / 174 / Went to The Batman yesterday... so good!!! One more day to hold my weight here and exceed my goal for this round. Off to a friend's kid's 3rd birthday party today.
