    @ashleycarole86 Thanks Ashley. I'm so inspired by you and your journey too. Tell your husband congrats! 100 pounds is amazing. I can't wait to hear about your doctor's appointment. It's so much fun to see the surprise on their faces and how excited they are for us. Finally, someone is listening. Just think, next year when we see them, we'll be at goal weight. That's going to be fun too. :)

    4/7- 189.6 (-.6) No organized exercise today. Back in the art studio.
    4/8- 188.4 (-1.8) Finally down to a new low weight. I’ve been logging my food and drinking lots of water. Swimming is on the agenda today. I may try to do my April mile.
    4/9- 188.4 (-1.8) I had 124 minutes of exercise yesterday between a 2.5 mile walk with my dogs and a mile long swim. I almost backed out of the swim, but thought I could at least do a half hour. I felt so good once I was there, I did swim my mile and in a new record time for me 65:27! My plan was to go to Orange Theory Fitness today, but I think I’m going to take a break. Hiking is on the agenda for tomorrow.
    4/10- 189.0 (-1.2) Hiking today. We’ll stay on the service road this week because the tougher trails may still have some snow and be muddy. Planning to hit those trails next week. Hoping to be solidly in the 180’s by the end of the month. I keep looking at my stats for the challenges and seeing each loss into the lower ten pound category is taking longer, but it’s still happening. Trusting the process, but still working to tighten things up.
    4/11- 188.2 (-2.0) We only hiked two miles yesterday because with the wind, it was freezing! Brrrr! But two miles is better than nothing and today is a new low weight by .2 pounds. Eeking it out a little at a time. Frustrating some days, but even losing .1 every few days adds up. My doctor, who was instrumental in getting me focused on losing weight, has no idea a took up the challenge. I see him on Wednesday for my annual physical. I can’t wait!
    4/12- 188.0 (-2.2) Yes, it’s coming down and that’s great, but I do miss those whooshes. After a great swim yesterday, eating right and getting all my water, I was hoping for more. It is what it is and it is not a gain. Head games in this weight loss journey. On April 1st, I weighed 188.8, so I’m .8 pounds down since the start of the month.
    4/13- 189.2 (-1.0) I had some pasta yesterday, but really tried to keep the amount down. I have a meal service, because I’m not a great cook. It’s a local service where they use fresh food. Yesterday was the first time they included actual pasta in one of my meals and I had that with some turkey meatballs. That may have resulted in a bump. Hoping it will be back down tomorrow. My plan is to have an indulgence meal at the end of this round. I used to have one every week, but I think the number of calories my body needs is shrinking, so instead I’ll have an indulgence meal once a round.
    4/15- 189.2 (-1.0) I went in for my physical yesterday and saw my doctor for the first time in a year. Last year, he suggested I consider weight loss surgery. His honesty was instrumental in starting me on this journey. I had no desire to have surgery but realized it was finally time to focus on my health. I’ve only started one conversation here on MFP. Here’s the link if your are interested. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10837733/my-doctor-suggested-weight-loss-surgery/p14/15 On the first page, you’ll see my fear and doubt. On the last page you’ll see more details about what happened yesterday and how much it meant to me and to my doctor. I’m very lucky to have an amazing doctor.
    4/16- 189 (-1.2) I think I’ve hit a plateau. While weight loss has slowed down over the last several rounds, I feel like I’m just bouncing back and forth here. It was going to come at some point and that’s okay. I’m 29 pounds from goal weight and I will get there. I am going to have my indulgence meal tonight but the calories will be off set a little after I get in my swim and long walk with my dogs. Woohoo! Another round in the books. :)

    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.

    THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
    REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.
    • Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
    • A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
    • Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
    • The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
    • Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
    • The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
    • When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
    • Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
    Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!
