4/13 - 152.8 - Between some crazy weird TOM bloat and way too many carbs, I'm shocked to not be up more. Homemade chicken alfredo last night and pizza during lunch yesterday. Today's breakfast is my overnight oats I'm experimenting with and lunch will be grilled chicken thigh with sweet potato and the last of my salad. Managed to get some desk fidgeting in yesterday to re-introduce movement in and my back is feeling much better. Today I hope to get in a few simple yoga poses to stretch it out more as I feel even better than yesterday. No more sharp pain, just lingering soreness. Also, more desk fidgeting since I can do that simultaneously with work. I do sometimes miss my old job since I had a standing desk there and these desks are WAY too short to do anything while standing. Also, I forgot to mention, I got myself an Easter (spring) cactus to have at work since I don't have windows or any connection to nature. Having that little guy nearby really has helped me mentally. I didn't realize just how bad it was being so disconnected with nature until I brought it in. Plus, a little pop of color really helps the cubicle atmosphere, at least for me.

Previous Day's Comments4/07 - I debated weighing since I woke up at about 1am and CHUGGED a ton of water. Probably what is reflected in this slight tick up. I drank all my water yesterday. Dinner was homemade nachos with leftovers for lunch. I also have mini peppers and a salad to supplement. Got super hungry on my drive in so eating my apple now and will make my "egg mcmuffin" after my morning meetings when I have more time to heat it up and enjoy it. Did get 3 sets of 10 for (knee) pushups and squats in my cubicle yesterday throughout the day. Simply happy it's my Friday and I can sleep in another 3 hours in the morning! Submitting tax exemption forms tomorrow then going to Fam's land to help clean up there. BF rented a bobcat for the weekend so they'll use it out at Fam's then Saturday morning (before our annual crawfish boil) and Sunday we will use it to clean up ours. Plenty of manual labor to keep the body moving this weekend.

4/11 - Not surprised. I pulled my back really really bad on Friday. I'm going to call nurse hotline this morning to see if a checkup is needed due to it being so close to my fusion and it's still hurting terribly 3 days later. My entire body feels like I just had the most intense workout of my life and I'm dealing with the DOMS from it on top of the back pain. On a good note, though, we rented a Bobcat and that little machine did the majority of the work and our house looks COMPLETELY different now that it's cleaned up so much. Still a lot to do to "settle in" such as finding deer/cow resistant plants for the front garden beds and putting up the fencing around my garden area, but it's CLEAN. No more dead wood lying around or a hollowed out, rotten tree hanging over my roof waiting for just the right wind to destroy the house. Despite the pain, it was beautiful to see everyone come over and help get things looking good.
4/12 - I had a couple little pops in my back last night and I feel much better. Still very sore and have some pain, but I'm a little more mobile and I can walk (rather than shuffle which is what I did yesterday). Stopped to get pizza last night since BF was running errands and didn't pull out anything to thaw and cook. I have some pizza for lunch today but I also have a salad, sweet potato, and grilled chicken thigh (it's super small portion, likely not enough so pizza is supplement). Also have some overnight oats with peanut butter and some fruit for breakfast. Water was good yesterday and looks to be good today. I'm already almost 30oz in and just finished coffee so ahead of schedule in that regards. Now to keep it up. Now it doesn't hurt to walk and will be easier to convince myself to get up and refill my cup haha!

4/8 – 302.9 – Doing IF – 20/4 with my window opening at 8am. This is working for me – plus gallon of water per day.

4/10 – 301.5 – late weigh in again. No workout today.
4/11 – 303.1 – not surprised since I had some brownies and no workout yesterday. Still doing IF strong!

@CamandJarvis Love it! Thank you for being so detailed and thoughtful. That helps me a lot and will help others too. You've had so much going on and I love seeing you still here and determined.
Thank you! I figured the one person I absolutely cannot give up on is myself. Plus, right now my health (and checking in on this group) feels like the only thing I can control in my life so I'm going to keep holding on to that until I feel a little more centered/grounded and in control elsewhere in life.5 -

Oh, April, why are you so cruel. It’s cold, wet, and dreary out today. I last night I made beef stroganoff, so not a low-cal, low-fat dinner, but it was good and comforting on a cold spring night and my total for the day was slightly over goal but under maintenance, so not too bad. Happy Friday!
4/9 - 179.6
I’m doing better with calories and macro management so far this round. I’m planning to restart my “wunning” — run-walk intervals. Six years ago I ”wan” a half marathon and a 10K, and then with moving around, a battle with PMR, and the pandemic blues, I let it go. But now I feel motivated to start again for several reasons—general fitness, the endorphin rush that fends off the blues, needing to up my game as I get back into dog sports (obedience, agility, tracking, scent work) with my smart, fast pup…. He’s not old enough to run with me, so I’ll need to take long dog walks as well, but hopefully I can get myself “wunning” well by the time his bones are mature. I’m hoping weight loss will be a side effect! Here he is this past week at doggy school.
4/10 - 179.8
I went a bit over goal yesterday, but my weekly calories average is at goal, so all good. I’ll watch it today! It’s soup day — making a shrimp and rice recipe I haven’t tried before. 🙂
4/11 - 179.2
Monday, Monday… Actually, it doesn’t look too bad. It’s almost 60F, going higher, and no rain until afternoon, so the pup and I are off to one of my favorite parks for a walk. I may also trim back some flowering vines and plant some sweet peas. I might even fit a little work in. 😁
4/12 - 178.6
Whew, I’m pooped. Two & a half hours of doggy school this morning. Makes for a quiet afternoon, though!
4/13 - 178.8
Off to agility class—it’s a workout for me as well as the pup. A lot more fun than the gym!

Would you mind sharing your top 2-3 things that have made a difference for you in this process and a few of the challenges?
Bit long, but here we go:
1. Typical, but WATER. When I first started, I was one of those people who mistook thirst for hunger. Upping my water intake helped me recognized the difference and immediately cut out a good chunk of calories.
2. Realizing that workouts don't have to be regimented. I do love me a regimented workout, but with my commuting schedule, I've realized that any kind of movement is better than no movement. That doing manual labor around the house on the weekends can count as more of a workout than even my planned out "regimented" workout. It may be less frequent, but I get more time in moving and working my body with 1-2 days manual labor than I would doing a hour long workout 3-4 days a week. And given my circumstances, that's great! Compromise is key and I'm doing what I can with what I have.
3. Not necessarily counting calories, but checking in occasionally on my eating. I will slowly increase my intake over time without realizing it. I've found it helpful to track my intake for a day or two here and there to keep myself in check and not let things spiral or snowball out of control. This also helps me get back into thinking about whether I'm truly hungry or I'm emotional eating (sad, angry, tired, bored, etc). This is particularly applicable now that I'm commuting (stress & sleep deprivation) and sitting at a computer all day. Hello mindless snacking!
Challenges? It's slow. It's not a straight line. Life gets in the way more often than it doesn't. My work week schedule is fairly routine, but I'm not in control of what I eat because I'm not home to cook (I rely on BF to have dinner ready and leftovers from dinner are next day's lunch). Dinner is usually eaten 30-45 minutes before my bedtime (heartburn anyone?). I have ZERO time to do a workout during the work week. I don't even have enough time to get a full night's sleep. ALL things out of my control and I have to be mindful EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I have to recognize that I'm sleep deprived and it has an impact on my hunger levels. I have to adapt and ensure that if BF doesn't make veggies with dinner, I need a backup plan (usually the steamable veggies I can split between dinner and lunch). I have to make sure I get SOME kind of movement in while at work rather than sit on my behind at the computer all day. I gained weight when I began commuting in but I'm adapting. I have to understand until I get a routine in place, I will bounce around and likely won't lose. I'll learn what works, what doesn't, what helps, and what hurts. And in time, I know I'll figure out a way I can overcome all those things that are out of my control but causing my health to decline. I know that I'll find my own path and my body will adjust in time. Until then, I know I need to be patient and have some grace with myself. That's probably the hardest part of it all. The waiting game is NOT my thing
Not easy by any means, especially when my mind is going every which way with work to think about myself and my health. But I leave this group up on my laptop (I use my 2 external monitors to do my work) so it's always there as a reminder when I glance over to do a self-check in. This group has saved me from spiraling out of control. My health could've been absolutely destroyed so many times if it wasn't for the love and support of this group. My weight may not have changed too awful much, but my health has. My mindset has. And I'm beyond thankful.
WOW!!! I just came on to see how many more days were left in the challenge and a post lead me back to look for this post and despite being a long post.....I too am very thankful 🙏🏽 🙌 you took the time to share ❤
I didn't really have time because I should be getting ready to go into the office but I NEEDED to read your post today. I took have a very hectic life but I have to find a solution to take care of me too. when I get to work I am going to try to find to check in. I doubt it. Today was the 1st time I MADE time too peek in. and I am so glad I did. I have to find a way to squeeze in time for this group like it is a lifeline. I did it for WW for years and I have start doing the same here. It is a win win. THANKS AGAIN ❤️ 😊7 -

Goals: HIT.MY.STEP.GOAL!!! 11,000/day; <100 carbs/day; Pelo ride 2-3x/week; Strength training 2-3x/week; end the round lower than what I started it at.
4/7: 181.6 I haven’t had that much of an overnight uptick in a while. I’m thinking it’s PMS, along with bad sleep due to a toothache, and the salty sauerkraut last night. No worries though. Step goal hit and 67 carbs.
4/8: 182.0 The PMS bloat is real this time! But it’s temporary. So while annoying, I feel strangely at peace with it right now. I am wondering if something is up with my Fitbit though, as it has my calorie burn for my Pelo ride as significantly lower than last time. Also, two nights in a row my sleep score has been the same. If it’s the same tonight, then I think I’ll look more into it. But, Pelo ride done, step goal hit, and 64 net carbs.
4/9: 181.6 63 net carbs and step goal hit. Happy to see this down tick.
4/10: 182.4 PMS is really messing with me this time around, dang! 91 net carbs and step goal hit.
4/11: 183.6 I don’t know. I had a good day yesterday, so water weight still I’m assuming. Frustrating for sure, but it should turn any day now and stay turned around. Step goal check, and 74 net carbs. Hoping I can at least end this round where I started it. Fingers crossed.
4/12- 181.8 Finally! Moving back down. 73 net carbs and step goal hit. Water weight is heading out.
4/13 182.2 Rode the Pelo hard last night, so probably some water retention. 62 net carbs and step goal hit.

My body has been wacky for a while now. Never know what to expect on the scales. My goal seems a bit aggressive, but I'm sure the 4 pounds I'm up from last round isn't fat, so just want to get back down to on track.

Got a big hike planned for tomorrow. Hopefully the wind is gone by then!
04/09: 183.8 lbs (-1.8)
Who knows, but I'll take it! Big hike today and lunch out after. No idea where, so will have to be flexible. These little mountain restaurants definitely don't do low cal!

Aww, that warms my heart!
Just a tidbit for you (or anyone else) I've decided that work/life balance is beyond challenging, but who said I can't have "life" while at work?
I bring my breakfast and eat it after my morning meetings. While doing that, I'll post my daily check-in. (Bonus, it slows my eating down. I don't stuff my face so fast my body can't signal fullness in time!).
Right now? Waiting on email response before I can move forward with work so I'm typing this out.
Lunch? I have 30 minutes. I sit at my desk since there's nowhere else for me to go. Rather than working through lunch, I minimize my work-related windows and check in here to catch up on everyone's posts. I'll update my food log. I'll read an article or two on health. I use my full 30 minute lunch for (slowly) eating and for "life" rather than work. It's the only work/life balance I have Monday-Thursday and I'm going to take advantage of it however I can.
May not be applicable to everyone, but it's something I've realized I need to do to stay grounded and focused not only on health, but on work once lunch break is over.8 -
Hi, I’m Kathy.
57, F, 5’8”
9th 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
RSW: 242.2
UGW for now: 195, then reevaluate
Goal for this round: less than I started with
2022 goals: move more (okay, move some), eat mindfully
Day/Weight/Comment
4/7 242.2 So let’s start a new round with a new low! I know it’s going to bounce around, but according to my start and stop history in MFP, this is the lowest I’ve been since 2016. LET’S GO.
4/8 239.6 Something’s up (or, more precisely, down). This feels off and I’m sure it’ll bounce back up tomorrow. Never really ate dinner last night so that’s probably it.
4/9 238 – new low!
4/10 239
4/11 238.6 Well, maybe this is going to stick around. Had a great weekend and got a solid workout in. Happy Monday, everyone!
4/12 239.2 Great workout yesterday and set a new personal record on the elliptical. Traveling tonight so dinner will be on the road – I have options ready. I know I have a long way to go but I feel good about myself for the first time in a while. (If that’s not tempting fate I don’t know what is. 😊)
4/13 238.8 Late dinner on the road last night but still down, so I’ll take it. Today’s my 100th day of logging since my return to MFP at the beginning of the year. I think in the past I haven’t been as successful because I hadn’t found a community. Thanks to all of you for welcoming me!

4/8-166-Helping set up the quilt show yesterday and today. Walked 3 miles doing it yesterday. Light horse ride.
4/13-168-The quilt show is all over. The work started Thursday and ended Monday, with the quilt show being the Sat. & Sun. in between. The guild is full of a bunch of wonderful women that were a joy to work with. I have my work cut out for me between now and Easter. I need to get as much done today and tomorrow because I have a friend coming to sew on Friday......we’ve been wanting to get together, but she works full time and finally has Good Friday off. I need to get over to see my horse..he loves getting breaks from riding and actually does better after a break...always like a fresh start.
I hope all of you are doing good.🌸5 -
This group is filled with people who have lost their weight and have now been maintaining for some time, those who are well on the way in the journey to health and many who are early in the process. Would you mind sharing your top 2-3 things that have made a difference for you in this process and a few of the challenges?
1.) Lunch time walk. I have a desk job and sit for 8-10 hours a day. My job can be very stressful so my walk isn't just for my physical health it's more for my mental health. When I am mentally healthy I do so much better physically.
2.) I don't put time limits on my weight loss. Never say or have goals to lose 5/10 whatever pounds by whatever date. I just want to always be working in the right direction.
3.) Logging and weighing everyday. This keeps me accountable and the days I make choices that are higher in calories or less in activity, the logging/scale reminds me not to go too far off course. I can handle the increase in weight and I know why. It also helps me understand how my body works. I don't get upset or feel like giving up when a day or 2 or week is off course.
+) I am challenge driven. My watch gives me monthly targets and they increase in intensity every time. They are totally doable and push me in the right direction. As this 10 day challenge does too.
Challenges: SO loves to cook and he's so good at it. He also works away from home and can be gone for a week to month at a time. So when he comes home he likes to spoil me with his cooking. He does really understand how many calories are in olive oil, butter and homemade bread!! So those days I try to limit and use smaller portions of what he's making but its so darn good.
Family evernts - So many snack and treats and alcohol. What's worse is when they line up day after day.
Stress - Guess I am a stress eater. Covid really threw me off my game. I have to watch for it as I don't really see the stress coming all of a sudden WHAM!! I'm in the middle with a milkshake, donut and large bag of potato chips.
I will always be a work in progress and I am ok with that. I'm a this time girl, hopefully for the last time. I have lost 25 lbs but prior to Covid I had lost about 76. I am feeling great looking better in my clothes and have so much more energy!!

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.

7: 192.7 I'm ready to be more present here again. My bf and I are trying to split our time between our two homes, so I won't be weighing daily. I intend to check-in anyway though. Might have to get another scale, though they won't likely give me the same numbers. Anyone else split time between 2 homes? Any tips on tackling the scale issue?
8: 192.4

13: DNW ♀️ Not gonna lie. I'm struggling with not being able to weigh myself daily. It's such a part of my daily routine, and I really need the feedback. Weighing only once or twice a round isn't gonna work for me. Feeling like I've gained, but maybe it's just hormonal. Belt seems to still go to the same notches though. Need to buy a second scale and figure out the margin between the two.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/06 …..199.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
04/07 …..DNW ….. (Trend weight xxxxx) Travel.
04/08 …..204.0 ….. Trend weight 200.2) The buck stops here.
04/09 …..202.0 ….. (Trend weight 200.4) Probably some water weight loss after the travel meals. Hopefully under 200 again within the next 48 hours.
04/10 …..199.8 ….. (Trend weight 200.3) Travel weight/water retention disappearing which is fair. Now down to the nitty gritty.
04/11 …..201.8 ….. (Trend weight 200.5) Wow, first a big drop, then a big gain. I’m all over the place! I had a light breakfast, out to lunch with a friend for lasagna and garlic toast. I ate half and had the other half for dinner. It didn’t seem like too much food for one day but…..well……pasta!
04/12 …..200.8 ….. (Trend weight 200.5) Travel today and Friday. I will try to make good choices but it’s never good. The lack of any activity while driving really hurts too. This will be a challenging week.
04/13 …..202.8 ….. (Trend weight 200.7) Travel always bites me in the *kitten*. What I hate most is that the trend weight is consistently over 200 and climbing. Oh, strength and resolve, where for art thou?
04/14 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
04/15 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
04/16 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
