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.)
3/03: 214.8
Words are inadequate.
3/04: 213.8
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.

Not a bad weekend, as weekends go. Very salty day yesterday. Cooked a chicken on the kamado grill (green egg), and it was outstanding.
This round was a bust overall. Did not meet goals. Tough for me when a round is bookended with weekends! Because I tend to splurge.

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.
3/7- 187.2 I’m happy with this. I went out for a bike ride on the local rail trail yesterday. It was unplanned cardio! But it was also 75 degrees and amazing out, so I couldn’t pass up a warm weather ride. I got a Fitbit last night to help me tweak things considering Pelo and MFP both like to give me some crazy calorie burn numbers. Hopefully it helps. I’m hopeful considering that two days in a row of adjusting things seems to have helped already. 86 net carbs, steps hit, and a bike ride done. I’m happy to be finishing this round under where I started it at!

Previous days2/263/7 122.0 Feeling better today and less fatigued than yesterday. I did my strength workout this morning and 20 minutes on the elliptical after and within that there were 6 1 minute intervals with 2 minutes slower pace. My sleep was crazy last night with dreams and waking up often but I surprisingly don’t feel too tired from it. Breakfast today was oat bran hot cereal. I found the oat bran at the grocery store yesterday and it was intriguing to me. Texture wise it reminds me of a more filling version of cream of wheat texture wise with the creaminess of oatmeal. It’s also higher in fiber and protein than rolled oats too gram for gram. I think it’ll become a part of my breakfast staples when I want a bowl of hot cereal because it’s just as versatile as oatmeal for flavor combos. I’m really glad to end this round with a loss finally too!
2/27 125.0 Sorry I’ve been MIA lately. Posting every day got hard to fit in and then I felt like I just needed a break from posting each day. My tracking has been good but my body is fighting back with crazy water retention this week from my new strength routine and where I’m at in my cycle. Gotta love a double whammy. At the beginning of the week I was like 120ish and this morning I was 125. Craziness. Hoping it drops soon. My husband and I went to the gym this morning and I did an hour on the lateral elliptical for some low impact cardio. I’m hoping to see a whoosh this week at some point. Dinner tonight will be roasted butternut squash and London broil steak. I hope everyone is doing well!
2/28 Checked in on mobile
3/1 122.8 Did 60 minutes of cardio this morning. 30 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes of uphill walking on the treadmill. I was going to run but I kept getting a weird cramp in my hip area so I walked instead and it didn’t bother me.
3/2 123 Strength workout completed this morning along with the interval session at the end and did an extra 10 minutes to make the running portion of my workout a full 5k. A non scale victory was completing more push-ups than my previous workout. The hardest thing to develop for me is my forearm strength. I know I could lift more weight but my forearms don’t want to cooperate but maybe that slower progress will keep me from inadvertently injuring myself. Also, got takeout last night for dinner but instead of getting something super salty/high calorie I opted to try a Thai papaya salad with chicken and an order of chicken satay. The salad was so yummy and refreshing! Then, I had a skyr yogurt for dessert and a little extra protein.
3/3 123.8 No TMI today. I did an hour on the elliptical this morning and I want to get out for a walk this morning on my lunch. I ate well yesterday although I felt hungry last night after dinner. Still trying to figure out the best combo of food to create that satiety for me while in a deficit again. I think a new goal will be to incorporate more veggies into my diet and actually prep some veggies on the weekends to make it easier during the week. I’ve been averaging 151g of protein a day but have been lacking the amount of veggies that I would prefer.
I had a bit of a chocolate craving this morning, so I decided to make myself a microwave chocolate protein lava cake which is high in protein and fiber because I use inulin and oat fiber. It fixed the craving and was so filling/satisfying that I couldn’t finish it. If anyone is interested in the recipe let me know and I’ll post it!
Happy ALMOST Friday!
3/4 122 Happy with the drop. Hoping to see the downward trend continue. We had a late night last night, so I didn’t get to the gym this morning but I’m planning to go after work today. Today will be a strength day with cardio intervals at the end of it. I’m already dressed for the gym to make it that much easier to head there when I’m done with my day. My husband decided to have a few drinks last night but I didn’t have any because it effects my sleep too much and I didn’t want the extra calories or to feel icky today.
3/5 123.4 Did a killer workout after work yesterday and this morning I woke up and did a nice slow 5 mile run. Dinner last night was Thai papaya salad, grilled Thai chicken with peanut sauce, summer rolls, steamed veggies and sticky rice. It was so yummy and healthy except for the slightly salty dipping sauce.
3/6 123.4 Went for a half hour swim this morning for active recovery. Then I went grocery shopping and picked up some fresh fruit and a few other staples. I have our meat CSA pick up and I’m looking forward to seeing what we get. I’ve been tired today, so I’ve just been relaxing before the work week starts.

240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150's
My goal for 2022 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, strength training, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

For Lent I’m committed to walk 100 miles in March (usual target but I’ve not done it since October), 1 strength training class in person and 1-2 virtual classes per week, no alcohol, journal my food, water over diet cokes, and NO snickers at the grocery store! 6 weeks … I can do this!

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.
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.
3/6 120.0 As expected. I see several more ham meals in my future. It tasted SOOO good and I had been craving it since before Christmas. Way over on calories, carbs and fat. Surprise birthday party for my neighbor today. She will be 80 on Tuesday. (1073.0)
3/7 121.0 Totally expected and it may go up again tomorrow. No hugs necessary6 -

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!
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!

Okay, I’m down .9 lb for the round, so no complaints. Yesterday I made Callaloo for my soup of the week—yummy and low calorie with sweet potatoes, spinach, fresh ginger, tomatoes, onions, low-fat coconut milk, and spices. I have a bit left for lunch today. I’m having fun making a new soup every Sunday! Ok, see you next round!Goal for 2022-2023 Progress

SW: 280
Ended Round 178 at 263.6 which was 0.2 up from round 177. I had three rest days and TOM during the round so I understand the bump. Looking forward to a downward trend for round 179.
Goals: consistency and dedication. My motivation is gone so I just need consistency to keep me going.
2/26 - 264.8 - Down 15.2 pounds - I had a really heavy dinner last night Homemade tacos. Worth every calorie. I still worked out and I am still proud of my progress.
2/27 - 264.4 - Down 15.6 pounds - I volunteered at a health fair yesterday and it was intense. Tons of walking and sweating. I eventually abandoned my post and got to participate in several rounds of Zumba 💃🏾
2/28 - 264.2 - Down 15.8 pounds - Looks like the effects of TOM are dissipating, finally! I wanted to be 259 by 2/28, but with 3 rest days and TOM so close to the end of the month it just didn't work out. Hoping to hit the 250's either this round or next. Side note: I understand now why you shouldn't shop when hungry. I went into the store to buy lasagna noodles, bananas, and carrots. I ended buying all of that plus a bunch of snacks yesterday. Loving those low cal ice creams. Brownie fudge something. The whole pint is 480 calories. I ate about half of it lol. I also got salt and vinegar kettle chips and veggie straws. I basically ate 1 real meal which was homemade tacos and then a bunch of junk plus it was rest day. I don't know how I'm seeing a loss on the scale. super excited to start my new workout program today. Turbo Fire. I've been craving some fun cardio. I did this program several years ago and I lost a lot of weight. Hoping for the same, but better since I have more control of my nutrition.
3/1 - 262.2 - Down 17.8 pounds - I am so super excited to write this post today. I now understand how TOM affects my weight on the scale. I've dropped all the pounds gained just like that. So happy! I did start a new workout program yesterday which is heavy on the cardio, but it's also more on par with my activity level so I can push a little harder. So proud of myself. It's a 90 day program so I expect that I will see great transformation in my body over the next 3 months. Really excited for the results.
3/2 - 261.8 - Down 18.2 pounds - Feeling good. I'm really enjoying my new workout program. 5 days left and so hoping to get into the 250's.
3/3 - 261.2 - Down 18.8 pounds - So close to 20 pounds down and that brings all sorts of joy. Really surprised by the drop as I went over my calories and it was rest day. I signed up for a diet bet and at this rate I should definitely win. I've signed up for dietbet like 4 times now, and I always mess it up in the end. Now that my mindset has changed and I am being consistent I feel like I can actually win my money back and a few dollars more.
3/4 - 261.4 - Down 18.6 pounds - Yesterday sucked! LOL. After a long day at work and way to long in the store looking for a good pan to bake in I came home to make lasagna. The lasagna took way longer than expected. By time I got to my workout I was so unmotivated. I got through it but I wasn't able to push myself like I wanted. Today will be better.
3/5
3/6
3/7 - 260.6 - Down 19.4 pounds. So close to the 20 pound mark. I had such a busy weekend. I am a nursing student and I had an 8 hour clinical on Saturday and Sunday. I was so horribly busy and tired and pained up. LOL. I typically exercise after clinical but these days were just brutal. I did more than enough steps to make up for not exercising and it clearly shows on the scale.
I am down 4.2 pounds this round which is a surprise. My best round to date. I earned it though. I have been working hard and eating right for 6 weeks and my body is responding. I will definitely be getting in to the 250's next round and that is so exciting.7 -

Day/Weight/Comment
2/26 248.6
2/27 DNW
2/28 249.4 This weekend was incredibly hectic. Saturday was all meals on the road, and I wasn’t particularly thoughtful about what I ate, so I was not surprised to be up today. At any rate, all meals are planned and logged for today, and I’m making sure to get all my water.
3/1 249.6 I should have learned by now that I’m going to bounce around for a while after a few big drops. So we’re bouncing! Challenging catered lunch today at the office, but stuck with salad and chicken. And a couple of small squares of chocolate cheesecake found their way onto my plate and have been tracked. 😊
3/2 248.4 I guess this constitutes a whoosh. Hubby and I officially joined a fitness center and I went to work out last night for the first time. Walking and elliptical with no knee pain – such a relief! Plus upcoming consultations with their RD and personal training staff.
3/3 248.6 Back in the office today, which is quite a shift. It is nice to see people in person again though. Meals are neither planned nor logged, because I didn’t plan very well to be out of the house today (definitely out of the habit!). But I will do my best to make good choices.
3/4 249.4 Not surprising to be up today after yesterday's lack-of-planning carb fest. Today has been a real *kitten*show so far; my work computer died and our IT "support" isn't calling me back. There's a bag of peppermint patties calling my name in the pantry downstairs but so far I have managed to stay on target and avoid them. The way I feel today if I eat one, the rest of the bag will soon follow. @coblujay your painting is wonderful!!
3/5 248.4
3/6 247.6
3/7 247.6 I'll take that drop at the end of the round. This weekend was busy but I did a pretty good job tracking and keeping up on water.

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!
03/05: 184.8 lbs (-2.2)
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.
03/06: 185.6 lbs (+0.8)
Knew that would happen. Anytime I hit a new low it bounces up a bit before it "takes". Rest day today.
03/07: 184.4 lbs (-1.2)
Looks like a rest day was exactly what I needed! Back to work today. Smashed my goal for this round after over a month of stalling. So happy I didn't give up.

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.
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. Late to post today. Definitely went over calories yesterday, but did get a 5 mile hike in.
3/7: 139.6 - Although I didn’t lose much this round, I’m still absolutely surprised that it wasn’t a gain for the round. The last 4 days we’ve eaten some pretty high calorie, high carb foods, although not entirely blowing the calorie budget. I think the upside is we did a lot of hiking/walking to counteract some of the damage. I can’t even remember the last time I saw the decade of the 130’s - pre-kids?
Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: - 0.6 pounds8 -

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!
3/7-170-Weekend weight......Lots to do today. I ordered some dahlias that should arrive today, I hope!

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.
03/06 …..197.0 ….. (Trend weight 196.7) My weight was sorta bouncing up & down on the scale from 197.0 to 197.4 but finally timed out on 197.0. It will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings. Clearly I am still going up & down so regularly that even my scale is confused (and that never happens!) Very low calorie burn yesterday due to online shopping all day. I’ll have to make an extra effort today to somehow get moving! Have a good Sunday everyone.
03/07 …..198.0 ….. (Trend weight 196.8) Well, my start and my finish are the same. No progress this round and that is disappointing. I really want to be comfortable in the hot weather (no central air) so I’ve got to pull it together. Congrats to all the great changes I’m seeing in all of you and your routines!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

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. ☀️
3/6 ~ 197.7 … 19,500 and 136 minutes. That grandson is a busy guy, he’s almost 6! Looks like I wore off that cheeseburger happy meal. Looks like another day of sunshine here, Spring will be here soon.
3/7 ~ 197.2 ... Wow these 10 days go by fast!! Just 10,700 steps and 61 minutes but 18 "flights" of stairs. Hit my goals there but still working on my calories and macros. Hope to see you all next round, don't give up!!

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.

5: 196.5 It has been a CRAZY week. Not stressing about the gains. 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!
6: 196.6 Hormones hit hard today. Pre-TOM emotions and weight fluctuations ahead.
7: 195.8 Back on track fully today. IF, HFLC. Up almost 2 pounds this round, but I'm not stressing. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

(Su•3/6- pm; hrs) 59g•Carbs; 64ozs water. Gained, but certainly enjoying what I have been eating! Finding fresh beef, chicken and fish in my area has been an adventure for the past 2 months. This also has spilled over to fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables. 5 supermarkets and a super walmart and many times most shelves are depleted in all the stores at the same time for days. The prices of course are ridiculously high. So, I make do with what I have. Not really a time for dieting for me, but I don't want to get past 205!

Day/Weight/Comment
2/26- 211.4 - I had a great start. Saturday seems to be the day I struggle the most.. let’s hope I can stay strong at volleyball tonight.. which is a beer league with friends 😂😂
2/27- 210.4 decent day yesterday but wasn’t expecting this drop after a few drinks last night
2/28- 210- I did good on eating but 0 activity since I wasn’t feeling good. Hoping to get up and moving a little today.
3/01- 210 had another great day. Hoping for a drop tomorrow.
3/02- 209.4 😀
3/03- 208.6 😀
3/04- 207.6 - I’ve had a great week. Hoping to continue through the weekend.
3/05- 206.6
3/06- 206 - I had a bad cheat day yesterday so I’m assuming this is from being dehydrated and will see a gain tomorrow

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!
3/6 174.4 Unexpected and awesome number to see on a Sunday!
3/7 174.6 I made it through a weekend of pizza and burgers and still ended on a loss, this is super encouraging! The scale's not moving fast, but it's MOVING. Down 3 lbs for this round!
R 178 loss: (-1.2 lbs)
R 179 loss: (-3 lbs)
Loss to date: 4.2 lbs9
