THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!Spoiler- 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.

Hey there! I want to join your group. I started something like this on my own on April 26th, so I have data to back add. I am trying to eat low carb with healthy fats. My focus right now is to be conscious of what I eat and drink more water. I'm looking for accountability. : )

Day/Weight/Comment
4/27 / 166.4 / Found motivation was low yesterday but I still got on the Peloton for a slightly shorter ride. Still adjusting to the new schedule of being back in the office 3 days a week. Had a nice lunch out with coworkers today. The weather is so pleasant! Looking forward to a walk and Peloton ride tonight.
4/28 / 166 / Got my walk and Peloton ride done last night and we had a delicious salmon dinner too. Today is the last day in the office for the week so it feels like a mini Friday!
4/29 / 167.2 / Last night was a rest night with my husband so we watched some Netflix and he brought home cake to celebrate a promotion he got at work. Thankful my Garmin syncing is working properly again after the recent issues. After work today we head out to open up our trailer at the lake.. so exciting!
4/30 / 165.4 / Started yesterday with a hard Peloton ride, got through my work from home day, and then my husband and I came out to our trailer at the lake to set it up. The camping season has officially begun! Woo hoo.
5/1 / 165.8 / Happy May! My husband and I have been enjoying our first weekend at the trailer. Lake season is such a nice time of the year. We brought light weights to do mini strength sessions and got two walks in yesterday.
5/2 / 165.6 / Completed my first ever 90 minute Peloton class yesterday after we got home from the trailer. Also picked up my resized wedding rings and got a few new clothes for work that fit properly. Work from home day today.
5/3 / 167 / Busy day at work today going through a leadership summit. I managed to fit in a walk on my break. That made surpassing my 10,000 steps by the end of the day much easier. Did a 30 minute Peloton ride this evening.
5/4 / 167.8 / These days in the office are flying by. My husband and I met up for a quick walk at lunch. I realized I have a 9 day streak of exceeding 10,000 steps, which is unusual for me. I'm surprised the act of working from the office 3 days a week is helping to contribute to that, but I'll continue to build on that momentum.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/26 …..202.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
04/27 …..204.4 ….. (Trend weight 201.9) Travel yesterday with no shopping/walking. Very little natural calorie burn and Golden Corral for dinner. Yep, that’ll do it! Gotta really watch my P’s and Q’s today!
04/28 …..204.2 ….. Trend weight 202.1) A small drop even though dinner was out with my son, his friend and friend’s mother. A nice simple meal that didn’t go over the top.
04/29 …..202.4 ….. (Trend weight 202.2) We are in the midst of the sanding of the kitchen and dining room renovation. Sand everywhere! There has been a lot more of carry-out dinners and local restaurant meals but I’ve been keeping the choices reasonable. To me, in this very small town, the local restaurant food is tiresome after 24 years here. It’s much easier to not over-indulge than when I go to bigger cities that have so many delicious and hard-to-resist choices. I love trying new things and that often gets me in trouble! Anyway, glad to see a nice drop today even after dinner carry-out (Mexican). I’m going to try to get more movement today but I dunno…. We’ll see how the schedule goes. My birthday is May 10th. I would like to solidly be back under 200 lbs as a giant present to myself.
04/30 …..203.2 ….. (Trend weight 202.3) Very long travel today across the state. I won’t be home until late tonight. Low level movement and meals out = oh no!
05/01 …..204.6 ….. (Trend weight 202.5) April was not good to me. Or maybe, I was not good to April. Yeah, I think that’s it.
05/02 …..204.6 ….. (Trend weight 202.7) I should have done better but I couldn’t get satiated yesterday. I think my bigger body is fighting for more food so I am going to have to plan more volume with less calories and carbs to get through this. According to Fitbit, I’ve had more sleep last night but I feel hungover. Is there such a thing as a food hangover?
05/03 …..203.8 ….. (Trend weight 202.8) I’m grateful for any progress but I know I can do better. I am not doing Keto at this time but I definitely should be watching the carbs a bit more. I need to better keep them in mind when making my choices. That would make a huge difference for my weight and my glucose levels. Now just doing it…….
05/04 …..203.8 ….. (Trend weight 202.9) I had a good day of eating yesterday so I expected a drop. I checked my fitbit stats this morning and boy, oh, boy! Was my movement level ever low! Barely over 3000 steps for the day due to lots on online bill paying and many phone calls. That explains it! Out of town tomorrow, a bit of a trip again for my friend's brain scan to determine possible parkinsons. Lots more sitting and meals out. Never good when it's out of town.
05/05 …..203.8 ….. (Trend weight 203.0) Weigh in was about 5 hours early as I prepare for travel this morning. 3 days in a row with the same weight. Hmmm. Too bad my trend weight wouldn’t stay the same. It just keeps going up, up, up.
05/06 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

5/05 - 150.6 - Apparently I need to lower my calories to 1250 or lower to see progress. I'm just happy I'm finally seeing some movement and feeling less bloated. Dinner was grilled turkey breast from our fall hunting trip with corn and asparagus also on the grill. I had a glass of wine since calories were below 1200. I was under by 500 calories, 450 from "exercise". Have the turkey, asparagus, and corn for lunch today. I forgot to mention, this week I had fresh strawberries as a snack/dessert. I forgot what BF said he wanted to make for dinner, but it's a tad more extravagant than we usually have but I won't complain, especially since I have time to digest it before bed with no bedtime or specific wake up tomorrow.
5/06
Previous Day's CommentsSpoiler4/27 - Coming back down, finally. Calories were over by 162, but that's still below maintenance so I can't complain too much. Granted, my Fitbit doesn't seem to want to sync automatically anymore and I have no movement from yesterday to potentially offset my eating. Setting that up again now. Dinner was pseudo-chili. Last minute thrown together dinner with what we had available in the house. With it, came corn muffins (BF makes the best, I swear). That's lunch today. I have another bagel egg cheese sandwich for breakfast because I completely blanked on pulling out the english muffins from the freezer and I realized today was shower morning so breakfast had to be made the night before. BUT!!! I did remember while eating dinner to pull out the english muffins for tomorrow's breakfast, whether I make it tonight or in the morning, I'm set up. Hoping today I can find excuses to get moving, even just a little.
4/28 - 18 calories over yesterday. I'm becoming more and more convinced that it will be nearly impossible for me to lose weight while working this job given my hours and commute. I can walk 10,000 steps, eat 1400 calories or less a day (and I lost weight prior to commuting on 1600-1800 so it's not likely that I need anything lower, I simply lowered due to being a bit more sedentary), and eat all healthy food and yet I gain or maintain. Based on the mirror, my belly is what is getting bigger which likely means visceral fat. I've done the research and all I can find is "get more sleep" but that is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE unless I manage to find a way to sleep and drive without killing myself or others. Or I quit my job and lose my house/truck/car/phone/everything. Sorry, I'm ranting but I'm so completely and utterly lost. Appointment with the dietician tomorrow and I'm going to bring all this up to her. I'm at my wits end. Still trying to get back into fasting (which the dietician is starkly against, don't know why...). If anybody has any advice on losing weight when chained to a desk 10 hours a day with a 3-4 hour daily commute and getting AT MOST 6.25 hours of sleep, I'd be BEYOND appreciative. I feel so unhealthy, fat, disgusting, and all the bad things. I miss feeling good and it's really getting to me mentally.

5/02 - I didn't sleep well. Late to bed, woke up a TON and then ended up waking up at 1:27am and couldn't fall back asleep. I'm running on empty and it's not even 6am here. Hopefully I'll get some decent sleep tonight. Rather shocked my weight wasn't up more this morning. Hopefully I can maintain that through the week and maybe drop some. Guess it'll depend on sleep and therefore hunger levels. I do have my protein shakes and my salmon packets to fill me up for not a lot of calories JUUUUUUUST in case it gets out of hand. I made peanut butter banana baked oatmeal and it tastes like banana bread, just less sweet! That's my breakfast for the next 2 weeks as the recipe made 9 servings (4 for this week, 4 next week, and my tester after baking). Bonus: its less calories than my overnight oats by almost 200. That'll give me a little more wiggle room for lunch and dinner! Today will be a focus on water and simply staying awake.
5/03 - Not a good day food wise, but water was on point. I was super hungry and started getting lightheaded so I had to grab extra food. I didn't even bother to track it. BF had to run some errands and wasn't home before I went to bed last night. He thawed some chicken thighs so I tossed those in to the air fryer and got some steamable cheesy broccoli for sides for lunch. I have today's and tomorrow's lunch prepped and had the last of the mac&cheese and jalapeno pepper with my thigh last night. Tonight's plan is steak&bean smothered burritos (works out as BigBro usually gets a second serving and there's not enough leftover for lunch. I have lunch already made so he can eat ALL of it with no worries). Boys got home about 45 minutes after I went to bed and the dog gave me a mini heart attack. I had dozed off and didn't hear them come in until she went bark-crazy in bed next to me. Oof. Took a long while until my heart rate went back to normal hahah! Still more sleep than Monday night and I feel a little more alive today. Hopefully I can keep hunger levels down. Off to a better start than yesterday by not being absolutely starving by the time I got to work. Coffee up next which will help with suppressing appetite a bit.
5/04 - Definitely expected to have maintained or been close to yesterday's weight having a smothered burrito last night. It was a small portion, though. I was over calories by 172 but still under maintenance. Breakfast was a tad higher as one of the ladies at work made a sausage biscuit sandwich (no cheese or egg as she didn't have enough and I didn't need those extra calories). It was a much needed mid-morning boost to hold my lunch out later so I wasn't absolutely starving by dinner. Not so lucky today, but replenished my protein powder and have salmon packets if a snack is needed. Not sure dinner, but I should have more than enough calories to accommodate. Breakfast is my usual peanut butter banana baked oatmeal and lunch is once again an air fried chicken thigh with cheesy broccoli. Water was good yesterday and I remembered to bring my loose leaf tea to work (it's so cold in this office! Like 60-65 degrees F) so I should be more than good on water today chugging down herbal teas. Also picked some fresh peppermint from my garden to add to the tea and liven myself up mid afternoon. Now to keep this up!

I splurged on snacks yesterday afternoon. Emotional eating, I guess. Anyway, I was deliberate enough to get something I really wanted, and I was reasonable the rest of the day. I think that got the urge out of my system. Off to run off my breakfast in agility class—maybe some of the snacks, too?
4/28 - 180.2
I behaved myself yesterday, so the + is from Tuesday’s pig out. 😁
4/29 - 180
Yesterday was higher calorie than I’d hoped, partly because DH made stuffed peppers with chorizo for dinner and they were a bit hefty, and partly cuz I came home hungry from dog training and had some ice cream. Oh, well. Today’s a new day, and I’ll get some garden exercise. A while back I ordered four roses, three of them climbers, and they’re scheduled to arrive today. Very exciting! Happy Friday, all!
4/30 - 180.8
Not unexpected, from Thursday’s higher calories. No problem. That said, I’m thinking of trying a session of not counting calories, just being mindful of what I’m eating and whether I’m really hungry. I know that often I see my total calories and think, oh, I have room for a few more, and those few quickly wind up doubled or tripled late in the day. I sometimes think part of my “stuckness” — for years, decades— is having an almost constant focus on food. We’ll see. Maybe I’ll make next round an experiment. Cant be worse than the non-results I’ve had for the past months (years?) since regaining 40 pounds. Why is this so hard?
5/01 - 180
🌹🌹🌹Welcome to the lusty month of May!🌹🌹🌹 I have four roses, a lilac, a peony, and a bunch of sweet pea seedling to plant, plus lots of garden tidying. Yay! And it’s soup day—I’m making a chorizo, spinach & sweet potato soup. Enjoy your day!

Yesterday was a good day, and I plan to repeat. Happy Monday!

Rainy day, which is perfect for the four roses I planted yesterday. 🌧 Off to Rory’s final scent work class of the session. Then we get a two-week break. Gardening! 😁 Have a lovely day, all!
5/04 - 180
Well, I decided that rather than kidding myself that I don’t know why I’m not losing, I should run some numbers. Calculated my average weekly calories the past 6 weeks and found it’s virtually identical with what the SailRabbit calculator says I need to maintain at 180. Guess what I’ve hovered around the past 6 week? Actually, the past 6 months! Big duh. So, once again, I know what I need to do. Now to do it. My main issue, still, is snacking at night. Why is that so hard to stop? I feel like a broken record! But at least I know to trust the numbers.
5/05 - 179.6
Not perfect yesterday, but better. I did have some popcorn last night, but total calories were within bounds. Aiming for better today.

Hello and thank you for the challenge! I haven’t participated in several years but need some motivation and remembered how well this worked for me at one time. I gained about 15lbs!!! from the fall and winter, have lost some the last few months and now the last 10 needs to go. I exercise fairly heavily but need to be more consistent with cutting calories. Here goes!

4/27 166.6 Off to a great start! Down almost a pound from yesterday and just discovered I'm down 12.2 lbs overall (instead of 8.5), now that I'm recording my losses properly. Maybe this is the round where I will start to really distance myself from the 170s! I'm going to try to fit in some walks this time. I've been doing great on my sugar goal but not on my exercise.
**4/28 167.2 Up from yesterday but I'm still so much lower than I expected to be this early in the round. Oh, and I went for a walk this morning instead of sleeping in! A small walk, but that's all I'm up to.
**4/29 166.8 Another walk this a.m.! Feeling good heading into the weekend.
4/30 167.0 Went for the tiniest walk, still counting it. As a very very sedentary person with major joint issues, any movement beyond my recliner counts!
5/1 166.2 Nice to see it's down a bit today. I'd be so happy to hit 165 this round, but things are moving slowly so I'll be happy with however things settle out as long as I know I've been staying on track.

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.

4/27 118.5 GKI 10.3 Late dinner at Great Greek - OMAD at 6PM - not my preferred time.
4/28 118.5 GKI 17.8 Two fun size Twix at meeting yesterday afternoon. 🤦♀️ Those haven’t affected my weight (yet?) but that up-shoot in my GKI isn’t good my other eating for the day was almost no carbs - meat, cheese, green beans, salad. I guess that’s why it’s so important for diabetics (which I’m not) and pre-diabetics to carefully watch what they eat. Just trying to stay healthy here.
4/29 119.5 GKI 18.8 Not happy about those numbers but attended first Social and Dance Club play/dinner so lots of carbs. I shall overcome. The play was really great. Over 100 people in the social hall which I believe was at its limit.
4/30 120.5 GKI 12.1 Weight up as expected. Uncertain eating today. Going to quilt shops with the ladies and stock car races with DH this evening.
5/1 120.0 GKI 12.3 Brunch Burger minus bun for lunch at 2, (burger, cheddar, ham, bacon, egg) did eat a few fries. Nothing after 2. Light on water.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/27 - 210.6 I’ve not been very faithful the last several rounds. We’ve had a lot of stress in the household but hopefully after today it will be better. Refocused and ready to start another new round and lose a bit of weight. I’m the highest I’ve been in years and my 60th birthday is in December. My big goal is to be a lot lighter by then but to whittle it down a little each round. Here’s to a restart and refocus to losing weight and getting healthier.
4/28 209.6 I did better yesterday with food and recording it all. Suffered from vertigo so didn’t do much but sit. Today is a better day and just working on one day at a time.
4/29 209.8 I’m okay with that. Ate some crackers yesterday so there’s some salt. Slept better too.
4/30 209.8 Stayed the same. Had a fairly good day yesterday.
5/01 209.4. Down a little,I’ll take it!
5/02 209.8
5/03 210 Really struggling with the snacking. I did go for a short walk yesterday and hope to get more steps in today.
5/04 209.8 Got in more steps yesterday.
5/05 209.4 Coming down finally! Now to watch the eating over the weekend. Steps were not as good but that’s okay. Hoping to get down.6 more into the 208’s for tomorrow.

4/27 ~ 179.4 - 14,700 and 80. Oh
4/28 ~ 180.0 - 17,300 and 116. I'm happy with this, ate a bit more yesterday as I've been dropping too fast of a rate. Feeling good though. Will get my walks in and plan on Turkey soup for dinner. Went to buy chicken thighs last night and they had turkey thighs at less then half the price!! Prices are crazy here and are changing all the time.
4/29 ~ 180.2 - 16,100 and 111. No worries I'm good with this, eating well and active. I may have to work Saturday or Sunday but will see if I can pull off a miracle today. Happy Friday!!
4/30 ~ 180.2 - 22,000 and 175. Pizza Day at work, just had one slice and my salad. Scale number is good. Got all my work done so I don’t need to go into work this weekend. Now just need to get outside in this horrible rain and get my walk in…. But first another cup of coffee. Have a great weekend !!
5/1 ~ 179.3 - 21,400 and 137. It’s finally May! 🌸 Forecast is still dreary but last year it was hot and dry and lots of forest fires so … I guess the rain is good ¿. Did a 10k early walk then some shopping and the sun poked out for the last few hours, felt marvelous! Another good walk today then meal prep my lunched for the next few days. I might think up some new goals for May.
5/2 ~ 179.4 - 21,600 and 144. Got a 13k walk in early, then a day of clean up, laundry and clean out the fridge. Got my lunches done and I'm ready for the week. May goals hit 1400 calories. Relax with a cup of tea (decaf) before bed and on weekdays do 2 walks a day lunch and after work.
5/3 ~ 179.4 - 18,400 and 131. Horrible sleep. Hit calories, tea and walks
5/4 ~ 179.3 - 18,900 and 132. Hit calories, tea and walks plus slept better. Still have tired eyes maybe it's all this rain.
5/5 ~ 179.0 - 18,800 and 128. I think the herbal tea before bed is helping with my sleep. Walks good and close on calories.
5/6 ~

Day/Weight/Comment
4/27: 134.9 - I find myself eating back all my exercise calories lately and the scale is holding steady. I’d like to go down a couple more pounds to be more in the middle of maintenance range. I know what needs to be done, but I think it is going to be tough this round since my family is visiting us for a week.
4/28: 133.6 - Ate all of my calories, workout was later in the afternoon and so-so sleep.
4/29: 134.9 - Drinks and dinner with extended family and friends. Definitely ate beyond full…
4/30: 135.6 - Yikes! Good workouts yesterday, but sitting around with friends with lots of nibbles, pizzas, cookies, champagne, etc wasn’t good for the calorie budget.
5/1: 135.6 - I somehow skipped a day, but this was the night after a very large and salty tapas dinner.
5/2: 136.0 - Biked across the Golden Gate Bridge, lots of walking around SF, but dinner and dessert was very high calorie. Vacation over though and now can settle back into a somewhat normal routine.
5/3: 135.4 - Had a nice regular day with my regular workouts, eating and sleep. Hoping to get back into my maintenance range before heading out backpacking on Friday.
5/4: 134.3 - Yay! Back to maintenance range. Normal workouts and eating within calorie range, but at the higher end (eating back all exercise calories). I still have my calorie goals set to lose 1/2 pound per week so that I can comfortably settle in mid-way through my maintenance range.
5/5: 134.3 - Normal workouts although a little sedentary around the house. Normal eating but a little short on sleep since I stayed up way too late reading.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/27 / 166.4 / Found motivation was low yesterday but I still got on the Peloton for a slightly shorter ride. Still adjusting to the new schedule of being back in the office 3 days a week. Had a nice lunch out with coworkers today. The weather is so pleasant! Looking forward to a walk and Peloton ride tonight.
4/28 / 166 / Got my walk and Peloton ride done last night and we had a delicious salmon dinner too. Today is the last day in the office for the week so it feels like a mini Friday!
4/29 / 167.2 / Last night was a rest night with my husband so we watched some Netflix and he brought home cake to celebrate a promotion he got at work. Thankful my Garmin syncing is working properly again after the recent issues. After work today we head out to open up our trailer at the lake.. so exciting!
4/30 / 165.4 / Started yesterday with a hard Peloton ride, got through my work from home day, and then my husband and I came out to our trailer at the lake to set it up. The camping season has officially begun! Woo hoo.
5/1 / 165.8 / Happy May! My husband and I have been enjoying our first weekend at the trailer. Lake season is such a nice time of the year. We brought light weights to do mini strength sessions and got two walks in yesterday.
5/2 / 165.6 / Completed my first ever 90 minute Peloton class yesterday after we got home from the trailer. Also picked up my resized wedding rings and got a few new clothes for work that fit properly. Work from home day today.
5/3 / 167 / Busy day at work today going through a leadership summit. I managed to fit in a walk on my break. That made surpassing my 10,000 steps by the end of the day much easier. Did a 30 minute Peloton ride this evening.
5/4 / 167.8 / These days in the office are flying by. My husband and I met up for a quick walk at lunch. I realized I have a 9 day streak of exceeding 10,000 steps, which is unusual for me. I'm surprised the act of working from the office 3 days a week is helping to contribute to that, but I'll continue to build on that momentum.
5/5 / 169.4 / Today my husband and I will meet at a Vietnamese restaurant on our lunch break. Will take my dog for a walk after work and we also plan to take our bikes out for a bit of a spin.

Hi, I’m Kathy.
57, F, 5’8”
11th 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: 237.6
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
4/27 237.2 Lots of stress right now so I’m glad to be down. Some major stuff going on at work, and a good friend is having a very hard time. Doing the best I can and controlling the things I can control – mainly, planning and logging, and drinking water.
4/28 237.4 Work got CRAZY yesterday, but I made it through until the very end of the day. Son had given me a small solid chocolate bunny for Easter. I quartered it into reasonable serving sizes and squirreled them away, but yesterday I was so burnt out I pulled one out. But I kept it to one and it was within my calories. And it was so good. Meals are planned and logged for today, and hopefully work will be better.
4/29 237.2 traveled to husband’s college reunion
4/30 DNW – travel
5/1 DNW – travel
5/2 239.8 Home finally from husband’s college reunion. I knew I’d be up but I didn’t expect it to be this much. I know this is just traveling, lack of water, alcohol and eating out, so it should drop over the course of this week. Pounding water today and back to the gym. Still catching up on posts.
5/3 239.2 Got disturbing news just before bed last night so I didn’t sleep at all well. Plus allergies are really kicking my butt right now. Worked out yesterday and ate well, but I’m at the office today and didn’t have time/energy to bring lunch or even think about dinner. Must rally before tomorrow, when I’m helping move son out of his college dorm and home for the summer.
5/4 DNW Long day moving Kid out of dorm and back home. Got plenty of movement in, though!
5/5 238.8 Looks like this round will be up overall, but it’s been a rough time for a variety of reasons. I’ll be back on it for the next round. Got to focus on the long game.
