    @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!

    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.
    04/08: 185.6 lbs (+0.2)
    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!
    14/10: 185 lbs (+1.2)
    04/11: 185.8 lbs (+0.8)
    Makes no sense. I tightened up my measuring and calories and still up.

    Bouncing continues.
    04/13: 182.6 lbs (-2.2)
    Oh body... I'll never understand you! Sorry I've been a bit out of the loop the last few days. Work has been crazy and an extended family member died unexpectedly. I'm still taking care of myself, just don't have the mental energy to do much more at the moment. I am reading everything and so proud of this group. Y'all are persistent and doing that hard work!
    04/14: 183.4 lbs (+0.8)
    I think this may be salt. And I'm learning nuts are hard for me to regulate. If I don't weigh it, I shouldn't eat it.
    04/15: 184 lbs (+0.6)
    Damn nuts. I really need to get them out of the house. I don't need the calories or the sodium.

    04/16: 184.8 lbs (+0.8)
    The scales don't lie. I'm doing something different and I'm not sure what. I suspect it's time to kick up my exercise and do more cardio. I love strength training and the muscles help with my TDEE, but doesn't seem to be making much of a difference in my weight short term. Guess it's time for the dreaded elliptical! 😄

    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 …..203.8 ….. (Trend weight 201.1) Well, I can’t get it back under 200 by the end of the round but I’d like to turn it in the right direction. Definitely feeling Pudgy.

    04/15 …..203.0 ….. (Trend weight 201.2) Travel plans changed today. Babysitting DGS. Handyman will be coming afterall to hang more drywall. Travel changed to Monday. Enjoy your Good Friday everyone!

    04/16 …..201.8 ….. (Trend weight 201.3) This round is a 2.2 lb increase. I am keeping daytime meals good. It’s the nighttime that is getting me. Sometimes I am into a full binge. With the lack of exercise I’m getting this is really packing it on. Gotta plan better at night. Congrats to all the successes this round. See you in the next one.

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
