Round 183 133.4 4/6/22 Harry 11 lb .5 oz Han Solo 11 lb 13 oz
Goals:My original goal for this round was going to be to make it into any sort of “133”. Well, I made it there on the last day of round 182. Goal for 183 is to finish 133.8 (scale does .2 increments) or below and achieve my originally planned goal. I will keep my same focus and maybe kindness will kick in with a miracle and I end up in the 132’s.
The “boys”, AKA the cats, Harry and Han Solo, are going to get tracked once per round as well. Maybe this way I will not keep losing my data for them
SW: 133.4
Cats: Harry 11 lb .5 oz; Han Solo 11lb 13.0 oz
4/7 – 133.8 Totally reasonable. The 133.4 ending weight for last round was very kind and unexpected. The other factor going into yesterday is I did not track the end of the day, though was thoughtful and selective about what I ate. Tracking was too mentally taxing by the end. Having guests and entertaining is lovely but exhausting. Apple watch says I walked 11 miles yesterday. I think I spent at least 1.5 hours doing dishes by hand at various points (yes, stupid me has a dishwasher that I regularly use – handwashing seemed more organized way to tackle the disarray). Anyhow, pleased with today’s weight, despite it being an up.
4/8 – 135.2 Handled yesterday reasonably…..until I didn’t. Went on bender in the late evening while babysitting and everyone was out fishing. That number is reflecting a lot of carbs, fat and salt. Don’t ask. :P Not concerned. It is one day. Today I should be back on track. Fun side story though was that I did a bird rescue.
4/9 – 137.4 wow! Amazing what damage one can do with two days. Due to family schedule, my morning walk could not fit in. Not sure what more to add other than today is likely going to be dicey as we are heading to Key West at 8 AM. Going to be a long day.
4/10 – 136.0 Unlike my past two days, I did not even make an attempt at tracking and choices were not great, but I attempted to at least limit my number of meals which may have helped to mitigate. Again, with the Key West travel, I could not do an official walk, but we were on foot, covered a number of miles and I closed all my apple rings. Today is a home day, even though family is still here. I am going to attempt to pre-track and heading out to walk in just a couple minutes…… bad start. I just brewed a pot of hot water. I forgot the coffee grounds. :’(
4/11 – 135.4 Did manage to get in a reasonable walk yesterday. Did roughly 2.5 laps for 4 miles. Tracking did not happen. Came in from the walk to another pound of cooked bacon on the counter. Yes, I could have tracked those, but just not having the mental energy (that I can have) to work out the rest of the day. Despite not tracking, my weight is coming back down which shows me how much was forms of retention, and what my true weight likely is. Today, everyone leaves and am home alone for about 30 hours, during which I have to clean and flip back our living arrangements (we gave up master suite to the kids) before DH returns tomorrow afternoon with MIL. No walk this morning. Will do some alone walking later and the cleaning should get me plenty of activity. I will be very interested in seeing what tomorrows weight shows because that I likely the real damage from the 4 days of eating off track.
4/12 – 138.0 Yes, everyone headed home yesterday and honestly thought that I could then focus like I intended. Well cleaning the house, cleaning the fridge, counters, and cabinets, brought me face to face with many open containers which led to bad choices …… again. But, when I got a modicum of control I did a purge and the remaining triggers are all gone. I did get in a solo walk though as I planned, so that was a plus!
4/13 – 136.6 Finished all the cleaning up of the condo and DH returned with MIL. Calories were on track (though I did not pre-track) and I did walk three and a half loops (5+ miles) and then biked to the grocery store. Today, IMM should be good. We are going out to dinner but I have pre-tracked my day and have planned for a two appetizer dinner – shrimp ceviche and a trio of bacon wrapped scallops. Both are yummy but calorie/portion controlled.
4/14 – 135.2 So my history this round is great for anyone unfamiliar with the cause and effect of daily food selections and how some is real (AKA fat) and some is temporary retention. So on the 7th and 8th I did some high carb, fat and salt eating that led to a gain of 4 pounds. Got back to focused eating on the 9th and 10th and dropped two. Misbehaved again on the 11th with salt, fat, carbs again for one day and went up 2.6 pounds. Focused again on 12th and 13th and am back down 2.8 pounds. These fluctuations cannot be explained purely by calories consumed as to gain those 4 pounds of fat I would have required that I eat roughly 14,000 calories OVER my daily caloric needs during those two days, which did not happen. Weighing daily over the years has allowed me to witness these cause and effect and how they apply to me. I am rarely blindsided by the number that I see on the scale.
I’m also adding apologies, again, for barely reading everyone’s posts. I can only be pleased that for now I am at least trying to keep my own accountability going.
4/15 – 134.6 yesterday, again, was focused and thoroughly tracked and I think I am heading back to non-binge stasis. The key question is what will I see tomorrow? My goal for this round had been to end with any sort of “133” as I started the round in that range. I will know in 24 hours.
4/16 – 136.0 Harry 10 lb 15.5 oz; Han Solo 11lb 12.5 oz oh well. My weight was not as desired. Headed into yesterday with pre-planned controlled tracking, and the day should have been a success. Lunch ended up a recoverable stumble, that still might have impacted my “133” due to carbs and salt while remaining acceptable for calories for the day. Next, dinner had been all pre-planned. Had pre-tracked two slices of a medium mushroom onion pizza, then DH concluded smartest option was to order a large (would feed all three of us). Waitress erroneously delivers one small instead. So now, to correct the mistake, she delivers another small pizza. Meanwhile, I had a glass of wine (I don’t drink generally as I have no tolerance). By the time I was done, I had wine, 5 small slices of pizza and half a slice of coconut cheesecake………. Though imperfect, it was not a closet binge, so I am content with that. Off to round 184!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!
4/14 - 179.2
This is one of those “who-knows-whys,” but that’s ok. Bouncy bouncy.
4/15 - 179.2
Happy Friday, all!
4/16 - 179.2
Ok, didn’t quite hit my goal of <179, but my average is down half a pound. All good. See you next round!

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)

04/13: 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
4/07: 136.2 - Back home and back to my normal workouts. Will probably need to take my goal weight back off of maintenance to losing 0.5 pounds/week again.
4/08: 138.2 - Well, harrumph. Bad decisions catching up with me. Had good workouts yesterday, but the bewitching hour of 9:30 pm came and a snackcident happened
4/09: 136.2 - Normal workout and eating. Good sleep
4/10: 135.6 - Back to my low weight from Round 181. Normal workout and mostly normal eating. Good sleep.
4/11: 135.4 - Ate on the low end of my calories (didn’t eat back all of my exercise calories). Normal workouts and good sleep.
4/12: 134.9 - I hit my goal weight this morning for the first time since I’ve been keeping track of my weight. 135 pounds has been my goal weight since I started keeping track back in 2009 and the closest I ever came was back in 2009 when I hit 143 pounds. I started this journey back here on MFP September 7, 2021 and have lost a bit over 36 pounds. I feel great but still feel a bit lumpy because the weight loss chooses the areas of the body to lose from and doesn’t give you muscle definition. :-) The journey isn’t over yet as I’d like to solidly maintain between 130-135 pounds. For those who wonder about the process to get to this point, it really is about CICO. I eat dessert every night, I bake and consume sourdough bread, crackers, cookies, I drink wine, I go on vacations and enjoy eating out. This is all done (mostly) in moderation. MFP and challenges like this one have helped me keep myself accountable to hitting this goal.
4/13: 134.0 - Wasn’t expecting another drop as I ate at the tippy top of my calorie range yesterday. Normal workouts and sleep.
4/14: 133.8 - Didn’t sleep that well last night, but had normal workouts and eating. I upped my calories a little in the goals area and ate past it, but net calories was on the low side of things. It is a balancing act to figure out how much of your exercise calories to eat back and how accurate those exercise estimates are.
4/15: 133.8 - Had some wine last night with our neighbors for our “Driveway Drinks” night that started during the pandemic, although it was in the garage because of the weather. Good eating otherwise, good exercise, and just so-so sleep. I need to put down the book I’m reading much earlier.
4/16: 134.9 - Ended the round at target. On to figure out this maintenance thing…
Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: - 1.3 pounds5 -

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!

Day/Weight/Comment
4/7 / 171.6 / Well after being unable to weigh on a reliable scale for the duration of my trip, and a ton of constant temptation, I'm happy my weight is where it is. That was the first vacation of that type that I've had since I started, and there were lots of lessons learned. Overall, I'm happy with the choices I made under the circumstances. I balanced fun with reasonable choices, grabbed activity where I could, and made lots of memories. Happy to be back to being able to check in daily!
4/8 / 172.8 / Got our summer tires on yesterday while the sun was out and it felt very spring like. Also picked up our dog from the sitter after a long week apart and took her on a special walk. The day went fast and we are back to work today.
4/9 / 173 / Went for two long walks yesterday and got back on the Peloton after my vacation break. Also did lots of moving around in the basement in prep for my mom's move in tomorrow. More to come today!
4/10 / 172.4 / Moving day here.. well we are staying put but the basement is ready for its new occupancy! Lots of carrying things and up and down the stairs yesterday but I also rode the Peloton and walked my dog.
4/11 / 173.6 / Worked from home, husband travelled for business, had dinner out to celebrate my Uncle's 60th, and rode the Peloton for 60 minutes. First day back in the office tomorrow since late 2020 - wish me luck. Most people haven't seen me since I lost over 100 pounds!
4/12 / 172.6 / Didn't have any issues getting my 10,000 steps today between the return to office and helping move more of the last of the stuff from my Mom's house before the sale goes through. I also rode the Peloton for 30 minutes.
4/13 / 170.8 / Had a tougher than usual 45 minute Peloton ride tonight. Commute in and out of work was a little smoother today than yesterday. Hoping to get a bit more sleep tonight!
4/14 / 168.8 / Great to be back down to below the round's start weight. I had less exercise today than usual after a full work day and my husband returning home for a business trip. Adjusted my food accordingly and spent the night running errands.
4/15 / 167.2 / Got a bit more sleep last night, but we ended up going to bed late. Oops. Cinnamon buns from a local bakery will be worked into the calorie plan today. Steak dinner tonight courtesy of my husband. Looking forward to a great ride on the Peloton too!
4/16 / 167.6 / Went to the movies yesterday before our steak dinner. Also had a quick visit with a friend and his one year old. Great day!4 -
@enlightenme3 We also do “Driveway Drinks” thanks to the pandemic. Hanging out on lovely evenings with several neighbors.
@Hilogirl2018 Yes, that TMI problem! Still waiting. It definitely plays a part!
@shnerb00 & @leni1us so happy you are joining us!

@JenKindo. Strength training builds muscle so if you are losing 1/2# of fat and gaining 1/2# of muscle, the scale will show no change. That is why taking measurements is so important. Having just said that, I myself do not measure. 🤦♀️ I need to practice what I preach!3

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!

4/11- 179 - restarting MFP again . Today's goal is to drink water which always kick starts my brain. - drank my water today and went to the gym. Under on calories. Good start.
4/12 - 177 - today's goal is water again which I have managed to stick with. Also, treadmill class during my lunch hour. Back at it from injury at the end of March. So far so good. Stay under calorie goal for today.
4/13 - 175 - so far so good but that is my "norm". Really great progress at the beginning of the week but crash and burn starting Thursday. Having friends over tonight so my immediate goal is to avoid alcohol tonight...drink water instead..- update.. no alcohol at all last night. success
4/14 - 175 - team event today so hope to stay somewhat on track.. at least tracking everything even if it's way over my daily calorie amount.
4/15 - 176 - not a complete surprise since I consumed food with tons of sodium.. goal today is drink water and go for a run sometime today. Maybe throw in a row or bike ride.
4/16 - 177 - bit of a surprise that I was up considering I was under calories yesterday. But I guess weight fluctuations are to be expected. 5K run this morning so that was a great start to my day.4 -

4/12 Thursday and Friday were super busy with work and then we went away from Friday night to Monday so I didn’t end up posting. I think I’m going to wait a bit until I weigh myself again. Our weekend away was really nice and staying at the Wentworth Inn in Jackson, NH for a night of it was amazing. I highly recommend staying there if you want to get away in the North Conway area of New Hampshire. TOM arrives later this week and after it passes I’m going to check my body composition at the gym again to see where I’m at. I went to the gym this morning and was able to bump up my lifts for my incline bench press (went from 30lb to 35lbs dumbbells), 50lb to 55lb single arm dumbbell Romanian deadlifts, and 30lb to 35lb dumbbells (in each hand) for my Bulgarian split squats. So, I’m feeling really good about that especially after a weekend of indulgence.
4/13 Did not weigh this morning. Went to the gym and did an hour on the elliptical because my hip was bothering me from my overly ambitious long run last week. Then went for a 20ish minute walk at lunch. Food was decent today and we ended up going out to Tavern on the Square for dinner unexpectedly. I got a Mediterranean chicken wrap and saved half for my lunch tomorrow. I also got a side salad with it instead of fries. So, I was pleased with my choices tonight. I’m planning to do my strength workout tomorrow morning and some sprints of some sort afterwards. Have a good night!

4/16 Went to the gym on Thursday and Friday but work was so busy I didn’t have a chance to post. I hit the gym this morning to do my strength workout and finished with some intervals. My workout went well and was able to go up in weight with some of the exercises. Food has been good so far today but TOM is arriving very soon and I can feel myself craving something sweet… so we’ll see how the rest of the day goes for me.

I have about 28 kg to lose. I use measurements (centimeters) because they aren't affected by salt intake. My weight has been at this value for about 3 months, let's see if I can finally start losing fat.

Putting these numbers into my spreadsheet I get a trendline of 85.8 down to 85.1 cm
How this round went: my eating was nowhere near 'perfect', but I still lost, 3 rounds in a row so that's an achievement. I only lost about 300 grams of fat, it's going to take me 25 months to get to goal weight at this rate. Still no exercise and I'm eating sugary food daily.1 -

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.

Had a few glasses of wine etc and some snacks. My aunt was a wonderful lady and will be missed by many. Tell those you love how you feel and give hugs when you can.

Working on my all or nothing attitude toward weight loss. Just focused on hitting my calorie range 80% of the month. Had delicious pizza for lunch yesterday and haven’t binged since Monday
4/10 - 188
Have some medical stuff going on. Never lose this fast but not letting it get to me. When I see a new low weight I tend to self sabotage so a whole new decade screams self sabotage but I’m ready to fight that urge and keep the course.
4/11 - 188.8
4/12 - 190.4
Not stressed. Knew the weekend was most likely a false low. My plan is to give myself a year and 5 months to hit my ultimate goal which averages out to needing to lose .60 a week. In this for the long haul!
