HW: 240 (1/1/2022)
GW: 140ish?
R185: 223.0-222.4 (-0.6)
R186: 222.4-
5/7: DNW - Note to self: At the age 42 you can not have 3-4 vodka tonics in one night and stay out until 2am singing karaoke. You will be hungover for two days and feel like death.
5/8: 220.2 (-2.2) - Happy Mother’s Day to all you mama’s out there. I attribute my “woosh” to being too hungover to eat yesterday. Awful. Never again! Zero stars, do not recommend. Met none of my goals yesterday. Will probably not meet them today. Back on track tomorrow.
5/9: 222.0 (+1.8) - 5/9: 222.0 (+1.8) - Actually hit my water and nutrition/macro goals yesterday. Over on calories, but still under maintenance. My boys took me to a fancy brunch, but I made good choices overall. They made me extra cute cards and got me tickets for all 4 of us to see Bob Dylan in a few weeks. My husband also cleaned up my garden beds for me, so I’ll be planting the rest of my veggie starts all week, for some good summer eats.

5/10: 221.7 (-.3) - Met all my goals, ate clean, slept awful. Volunteer in DS2’s class today. I always burn so many calories with those peanuts even though I just read with them 😆 (they are 1st graders.) Have a great day, everyone!
5/11: 220.2 (-1.5) - Met all my goals. Sun shining here. Really helps me stay on track when it’s not miserable out. ☀️
5/12: 220.4 (+.2) - Was under my water goal by 12oz yesterday (88oz total, whereas I’ve been drinking over 100oz, closer to 120oz on average, for the past few months.) Woke up totally parched and feeling sooo dehydrated. Was good with my sodium yesterday. I am so surprised my body reacted this way 🤷♀️. Made a giant batch of my favorite cowboy caviar for the week (I eat it on egg, rice, and/or lettuce bowls) - so yummy and healthy 😋.
5/13: 220.2 (-.2) - Met my goals yesterday. Waiting for a whoosh at this point . . . 😆. Going to a new restaurant with a friend for lunch. Plan to get their grilled halibut salad, which looks amazing! Happy Friday, everyone!
5/14: 220.6 (+.4) - Drats! Foiled again. My scale and body are conspiring against my hard work. Met my all my goals yesterday.
5/15: 220.4 (-.2) - Hmmm . . . Will I make goal? Won’t I make goal? The suspense!
5/16: <goal 219.9>

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 almost 5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

SW RND 186 118.5
5/7 118.0 GKI 4.4
5/8 119.0 GKI 14.0 Two nights of great sleep. OMAD yesterday was a keto chicken popper casserole. Then Bloody Maria = tomato juice = carbs and popcorn! AND NO TMI x2 Drinking Miralax
5/9 119.5 GKI 7.0 Mother’s Day at Great Greek with DD#2 and family. She and I split a bottle of Chardonnay and had large Greek salads. Waiting for TMI 😁
5/10 118.0 GKI 13.0 OMAD was chicken popper casserole from Saturday, ate 1 portion of Quest protein chips as snack. Popper casserole recipe needs to be studied since it seems it has shot my GKI up both times I ate it. Going to a baseball game tonight.
5/11 118.5 GKI 12.7 Apparently even Mama Lola’s 1 carb yellow corn tortillas cause a reaction. OMAD 3 tacos at 2:30, noting at the ball game and walked more than double the usual steps. Ballgame was pathetic. My granddaughters could have played better.
5/12 120.5 GKI 12.9 Celebration of life last evening at her favorite area steakhouse. Apps were not low carb.
5/13 120.5 GKI 12.9 A beautiful coyote walked through the back yard this morning. That hasn’t happened since????
5/14 121.0 GKI 4.9 Steak and 1/3 c sweet potato for OMAD. No TMI x 3
5/15 121.0 GKI 12.4 Quilt guild board meeting-OMG! Two women trying to out shout each other, one finally said “F… it”and let the original speaker continue. 3 oz Absolut Raspberry vodka??? Still no TMI6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
5/7: - DNW - backpacking
5/8: 133.2 - I’m pretty sure I’ll bounce up again now that we’re back home. Didn’t eat much for breakfast or lunch but it was high calorie stuff (lots of peanut butter things). Dinner was also high calorie, but didn’t counteract the 10.5 mile hike. Did not drink enough water and consequently woke up in the middle of night thirsty.
5/9: 133.8 - Normal workouts although a little sedentary the rest of the day. Had Indian takeout for dinner, so high on carbs. Slept well.
5/10: 134.5 - Normal workout, normal eating with leftover Indian for dinner.
5/11: 134 - Normal workouts, but did not stay within calories yesterday. I was so hungry after the dentist and there was homemade bread cooling on the counter. Not a good combination.
5/12: 134 - Normal workouts, ate my first meal quite late in the day (for me) and then a pretty good dinner. Within my calories including eating back a majority of my exercise calories. Great sleep!
5/13: 133.8 - Normal workouts, but a bit of snacky eating before and after dinner. Still under calories.
5/14: 133.6 - Late workout and probably didn’t drink enough water all day. Homemade asparagus pizza using some leftover goat cheese/creme fraiche filling I had from a tart I made a few weeks ago. Had a hard time falling to sleep.
5/15: 133.2 - Normal workouts and normal eating. Salad and greek yogurt for lunch and cauliflower tacos for dinner. Dessert was vanilla ice cream with berries and some chocolate. Pretty good sleep.

Day/Weight/Steps/Active Minutes/Comment
05/06 ~ 179.0
05/07 - 177.5 - 18;000 steps and 124 minutes. Well that’s a drop. Todays plan get a good walk in. Wrap Moms gift in pretty paper that I need to find. Wrap SOs birthday gift. Get some meal planning started and some housework. Housework will probably get pushed. Hope you all achieve your goals today… We got this!
05/08 - 177.3 - 15,300 and 66. Got steps and minutes in but did’t actually go on a ‘walk’. Did get some housework done FINALLY! Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms and a special thought to those who we have lost ❤️. My 2 boys are going on a hike with me today. Looking forwards to that ♥️
05/09 - 177.6 - 13,100 and 97 AND 60 flights of stairs!! Hiked one of the local mountains with my 2 boys, was a wonderful day and I did it with ease. So enjoyed my day! Now calories in was a little higher then usual with a few glasses of wine and an appy lunch then randomly invited to the youngest girlfriends parents house for dinner and dessert. Didn't log as I have no idea what to post! So very happy with the scale this morning! Sadly SO called to say he's not coming home as scheduled hopefully when he does he can stay a little longer then usual.
05/10 - 177.8 - 17,800 and 124. Everything is on target and going well.
05/11 - 176.6 - 17,800 and 130. Miss calculated a butter tart and probably under ate, as I am really hungry this morning! My youngest is going to Nicaragua on Friday and I'm starting to feel anxious, but I am aware that anxiety is a trigger for me so...? Here is to the next 12 days!!
05/12 - 176.3 - 19,700 and 134. Forgot my protein this morning, and I ate my desk emergency tuna yesterday because I was super hungry ... it's going to be a long day!! I should be able to walk over to the store and find something if I'm not too busy.
05/13 - 176.7 - 20,500 and 133. SO is on his way home, yay! Eating plan might be a bit off but I will try to at least maintain and after he rests up will push for him to walk/hike with me. Add on my son going to Nicaragua this will be an interesting week or so. Happy Friday all.
05/14 - 175.9 -17,000 and 110. SO got home and we went out for sushi. Weather is rain rain rain so going for a walk with SO might not happen. Gotta get my walk in though.
05/15 - 176.4 - 16,000 and 40. I’ll see that 5 again soon. My son had some flight issues and some travel changes but he’s on his last flight now. Spent the day with GS got a good amount of steps in but no power walk. Ate more calorie dense than usual. Will be interesting to see how the scale plays out this week with SO home. No hug’s required I’m still doing good. Enjoy your Sunday!

Round 186 ( my 118th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
It's just 11 days to DS wedding, I feel mostly back on track, would like to lose another 1.5 pound by then? That's a pound a week. Only if I don't mess things up! Need to lose again this round, just lose!Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/7 138 – uhhgh !! went over on calories when out to lunch with a friend & heavy on carbs too, no wonder I am up! 7.45 miles walked.
5/8 137 - 10.39 miles walked, ¾ exercise calories eaten back.
5/9 137.8 – 6.29 miles walked half of which was in my garden weeding, planting, watering. Went over on calories. Had a lovely day meeting up with DD & DS and respective families, such good quality time with them all and lovely to see all our little grandchildren playing and getting all so well with each other.
5/10 138.4 – 8.01 miles walked yesterday – chocolate binge !!
5/11 137.6 – 9.68 miles walked, 50% exercise calories eaten back.
5/12 137 - 11.12 miles walked, less than10% exercise calories eaten back.
5/13 136.4 - only 3 miles walked yesterday whilst caring for little DGS's, so no structured exercise and no exercise calories, hence 49 calories & 39 carbs over for the day. Start of dancing weekend – Viennese Waltz workshop this year, postponed from 2020 (due to Covid!!). I will not be taking scales, but will log food and will get lots of dancing exercise, will also strive to get daily walking goal.
5/14 DNW - 6.12 miles walked, almost 3 hours of non stop dancing, food & drink just 45 calories over.
5/15 DNW – 11.27 miles, but this did include steps taken whilst dancing which went on until 1.00am and then practically no sleep as I was still buzzing!! Back home now this evening, tomorrow we head up to Sheffield ready for the wedding on the following day.
5/16 Eve of DS wedding.

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!- 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.

Net change 2022 = SW 380.0 EW 366.0 (-14.0) Overall goal: 22-30 lbs.In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us. 9 -
Let’s do this! I had a nice vacation at the end of April that acted as a kind of reset really. Now I’m ready to dive back in and make my way to goal.
Goals this challenge- 11,000 steps/day; Pelo 2-3x week; strength training 2-3x week.
SW: 188.8
5/7- 188.2
5/8- 185.6
5/9- 182.6
5/10- 181.6 Pre Disney weight! Been battling COVID since last week though- the entire house has it right now, while DH is out of town on business- he is no longer positive, lucky! Kids can’t go back to school until they test negative. I’m already exhausted, and it’s only Tuesday.
5/11- 180.4
5/12- 181.6 Not sure why. I had a great day yesterday. Meh, oh well.
5/13- 183.0 I’m chalking it up to an insanely busy day yesterday. I’ve noticed that when I get way more steps in than my average of 11,000, it always makes the scale go up. Why? Idk, but it’s a pretty consistent pattern. Yesterday I logged over 14,000 steps.

5/12: 121.4 Pleasantly content with this number, especially with it being 4ish days pre-TOM. Life has been busy the past week or so and I just needed a break from everything including posting. I’ve been able to exercise each day this week but still taking it easy. I was able to do my strength workouts on Monday and Wednesday. Tuesday I went for a short walk in the morning because I slept terrible and this morning I went for a 3 mile very slow run outside. I noticed my heart rate tends to jump up quickly, so I’m trying not to stress it too much post covid. I know it’s probably because I haven’t done a ton cardio for a few weeks but I’m just going to build it back slowly. The run felt good, and I wasn’t too tired afterwards either. It was so nice to be exercising outside and not freezing because the warmer temps are finally starting to show up again in New England.
5/13: 121.2 Lifted this morning and went up on a couple of the lifts, so that was exciting. Feeling great today after a pretty good night of sleep and looking forward to surprising my cousin at the hair salon when she is getting her hair done for her prom tonight. Then after work today I’m meeting coworkers for early dinner/drinks and I can’t wait!
5/14: Did not post.
5/15: Did not weigh. It’s been a busyish weekend. I went to the gym today and did a half hour on the elliptical and stretched for a while afterward. Then, I hit the sauna for 10 minutes after to top everything off. The dinner/drinks with my coworkers was super fun but I realized that even one Aperol Spritz finished by 6 PM still messed with my sleep like crazy. So, I guess it will be fancy mocktails instead the next time I go out with them. I plan on lifting tomorrow morning and hopefully squeezing in some sort of a walk during my work day.

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 almost 5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

5/10 118.0 GKI 13.0 OMAD was chicken popper casserole from Saturday, ate 1 portion of Quest protein chips as snack. Popper casserole recipe needs to be studied since it seems it has shot my GKI up both times I ate it. Going to a baseball game tonight.
5/11 118.5 GKI 12.7 Apparently even Mama Lola’s 1 carb yellow corn tortillas cause a reaction. OMAD 3 tacos at 2:30, noting at the ball game and walked more than double the usual steps. Ballgame was pathetic. My granddaughters could have played better.

@quiltingjaine I never knew a quilting guild could get so heated!3 -
I have about 2726 kg to lose. I use measurements (cm) because they aren't affected by salt intake. My weight has been dropping for 2 months now. Apparently I've been trying to lose weight since September 2012, the last time I was at goal weight. Let's see if stopping eating sugary food is going to change things.

bolded numbers means dropped by 0.5 cm
plugging these numbers into my spreadsheet I get a trendline of 84.5 down to 83.8 cm
How this round went: my eating was better than previous rounds but I'm still eating more than I could be. I only did two runs (1 and 2 minutes), and only one day without sugar. I lost another kilogram, making 5 kg so far. So things are going well, but it's far too slow. At the current rate it's going to take about 24 months. I'd like to halve that.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/7 / 169 / Looks like things are coming back down now. As I've gotten to a lower weight, I notice the weight retention during my TOM so much more. Interesting observation. I have a Zoom call with a group I'm part of on MFP later today and also hope to ride.
5/8 / 167.6 / Last night my husband and I split a bottle of riesling in the hot tub and then I still had to do my Peloton ride. Not the best order - lol. Still happy I followed through with the workout I wanted to do anyway. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers today!
5/9 / 164.6 / First weigh-in posted within my desired maintenance range of 160-165. Nice to get a taste of it and to see the whoosh after my TOM as well. I am happy. This feels like such an important time. The fear of slippage remains strong - I suspect that will be with me for a long, long time. Today MAY be a rest day on the bike, but if my husband goes out biking with a friend after work I'll use my down time to bike and shift my rest day to later this week. Have to be very strategic with my time during the work week.
5/10 / 164.4 / Having a bit of an off day mentally. My husband is sick, I pulled the car forward into cement in the parking garage, almost ran out of gas, and just a few other things. By the time I was at the gas station (that was also a 7-11) I almost had myself convinced that going in for a treat would fix everything. Reminded myself that while a treat COULD be worked into the day, I was thinking about it for the wrong reasons. Left without the impulse buy, enjoyed my supper, and had a planned treat after my evening walk instead.
5/11 / 165.2 / Peloton ride done and I also walked over 13,000 steps. My husband is still dealing with stomach issues so things are pretty relaxed at home... hoping he's on the mend.
5/12 / 164.6
5/13 / 161.8 / Had a big wine night last night and my normal check-in fell to the wayside. Not a normal occurence for me and I definitely paid for it this morning! Feeling back to normal now. Husband is well enough for us to head to the lake tonight which is great.
5/14 / 163.8 / Had a poor sleep last night as I was up in the washroom quite a bit. Hoping for a nice sunshine filled day at the lake. We go home after supper tonight as we have a morning adventure in the mountains tomorrow. First hot dog cook of the season today but we forgot the BBQ grill so we'll be making them in the air fryer.
5/15 / 164.6 / Went on a helicopter ride with friends and then did my first ever metric century bike ride for 100 KM. What a great feeling that my body is in a place where I can do this now.

Loss < 1lb but I will take it!7 -
64 yr young F, 5ft 4
Round 186 ( my 118th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
It's just 11 days to DS wedding, I feel mostly back on track, would like to lose another 1.5 pound by then? That's a pound a week. Only if I don't mess things up! Need to lose again this round, just lose!Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/7 138 – uhhgh !! went over on calories when out to lunch with a friend & heavy on carbs too, no wonder I am up! 7.45 miles walked.
5/8 137 - 10.39 miles walked, ¾ exercise calories eaten back.
5/9 137.8 – 6.29 miles walked half of which was in my garden weeding, planting, watering. Went over on calories. Had a lovely day meeting up with DD & DS and respective families, such good quality time with them all and lovely to see all our little grandchildren playing and getting all so well with each other.
5/10 138.4 – 8.01 miles walked yesterday – chocolate binge !!
5/11 137.6 – 9.68 miles walked, 50% exercise calories eaten back.
5/12 137 - 11.12 miles walked, less than10% exercise calories eaten back.
5/13 136.4 - only 3 miles walked yesterday whilst caring for little DGS's, so no structured exercise and no exercise calories, hence 49 calories & 39 carbs over for the day. Start of dancing weekend – Viennese Waltz workshop this year, postponed from 2020 (due to Covid!!). I will not be taking scales, but will log food and will get lots of dancing exercise, will also strive to get daily walking goal.
5/14 DNW - 6.12 miles walked, almost 3 hours of non stop dancing, food & drink just 45 calories over.
5/15 DNW – 11.27 miles, but this did include steps taken whilst dancing which went on until 1.00am and then practically no sleep as I was still buzzing!! Back home now this evening, tomorrow we head up to Sheffield ready for the wedding on the following day.
5/16 136.4 – Same numbers as end of last round, 6.86 miles walked yesterday. Eve of DS wedding, hoping we've got everything packed. Excited !!
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE. Keep calm – Covid is still out there despite lifting of practically all restrictions, take care, remain vigilant we're still in this together!

5/12 172.2 Late to the party this month; been gone from MFP about a year. I'm almost exactly where I was the last time I was in this group, so it could be worse! Missed y'all!
5/13 173.8 Hubby had a salt-heavy dinner made, unexpectedly, when I got home. Traveling this weekend so I'll have to be mindful to stay in control. Thanks for the "welcome back's." It's good to be back and find so many familiar folks still here.
5/14 No scales

5/16 173.6 After a weekend of camping at my Dad's camper, I’m ok with this. Lots of activity that helped cancel out the camping food. I’ll be doing a good bit of camping this summer if all goes well, so I need to figure out foods that fit a healthier lifestyle than the camping foods I’ve used my whole life. BUT, my Dad is 91 and living with heart failure, and right now, an important part of my life is about enjoying every moment I can with him. I’m calling the whole weekend a WIN because I spent it with Dad and my daughter and her young family. It was fabulous!6 -
Hi - I’m Allison. Skipped the last round or 2. Maybe I can get things moving this time.

I am switching up my logging method to rounding to the nearest whole pound. Too much daily anxiety over these fractions!

Day/Weight/Comment
05/06 …..203.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
05/07 …..201.0 ….. (Trend weight 202.8) Yay, trend weight down from 203.0 and 2.4 lbs down on the scale. I felt pretty week yesterday. I think sugar was up from stress. Having trouble with my primary handyman (the slow one) so I’m going to have to replace him. Only 3200 steps yesterday but, of course, my appetite never suffers. I found myself eating a little more healthy when my daughter brought home a rotissary chicken and bread cut into teeny tiny little slices. A much small quantity than usual. Pay attention Donna! Remember, you can’t outrun the fork! Less food works! Anyhoo, good luck everyone this round. Let’s get ready for many sunny days ahead!
05/08 …..201.0 ….. Trend weight 202.7) Happy Mother’s Day everyone! Weight stayed the same which is okay after a big drop yesterday. Trend weight still trending down so I’m very happy. It gives me hope. I hope you all will enjoy a beautiful day. I will be taken out for dinner but will try to choose wisely. Ah, so many flowers delivered to me by our new florist in the next town. What thoughtful kids I have!
05/09 …..200.8 ….. (Trend weight 202.5) I just couldn’t get full last night! Luckily I had a good day full of mindful choices which ended up offsetting it. Down 0.2 is better than the gain I expected. I’ll be watching the scale, sometimes it creeps up later!
05/10 …..203.2 ….. (Trend weight 202.5) My birthday! Not a very nice present on the scale this morning. Pretty good dietary choices yesterday which kept it under 1600 (my normal is under 1400). Moderate exercise. I had a big bump down, now a big jump right back up. I don’t always understand how this works for me but I do know that TMI is likely part of this equation today. Dinner out tonight with a friend and at a later time with my oldest daughter (maybe next week?)
05/11 …..204.0 ….. (Trend weight 202.7) I thought my dinner out yesterday was very reasonable. Very light breakfast and applesauce for snack. Hmph! Maybe birthday and mother’s day all coming at me at once on the scale. Tonight, another dinner for birthday. Home cooked meal with steak, potato etc. at one of my children’s houses. I’ll keep my day light again. Maybe get out more and MOVE in the yard.
05/12 …..204.6 ….. (Trend weight 202.9) Birthday dinner yesterday was delicious and healthy. Long travel today so leaving early. No TMI x2.
05/13 …..202.6 ….. (Trend weight 202.8) 2 pounds down overnight after an extremely long travel, restricted movement, low steps and two meals in restaurants. I’m surprised, but not completely. Finally TMI this morning and over 7 hours of sleep last night! Amazing what those things can do to make a difference!
05/14 …..202.8 ….. (Trend weight 202.8) Scale is about the same as yesterday. No TMI., 5 hours of sleep, but lots of steps yesterday and calorie burn due to working in the yard cleaning up 3 dead trees that I had cut down. Had to take lots of breathing breaks due to some heart issues. I hope the cardiologist can help on my first ever appointment June 1st.
05/15 …..204.0 ….. (Trend weight 203.0)
I just had breakfast and dinner last night. But dinner was pasta (Lasagna). Sugar free candy for snack. Very swollen from gnat bites that I’m allergic to. Fluid retention and swelling. Nothing is helping. Benedryl, lavender oil, lavender shower gel washing (from essential oil company young living), baking soda paste, ibuprofen, cold compresses, cold water soaking, lymphomic fluid massage, keeping arms and legs elevated. Prescription Steroid cream, Horrid! Some travel today for supplies again. Probably one meal out with my helper. I’ll stay away from pasta today!
05/16 …..203.4 ….. (Trend weight 203.0) Wow! Exactly the same as my starting weight. It does not feel real good to see no progress. My carbs have been getting too high. I really need to start paying more attention/cutting them again. Doctor appointment on Wed. She won’t be happy! This has been a great round for so many. I am proud of you all for your hard work and determination. It’s time for me to get on board and stay there awhile. I’ll make a much better effort in the next round. This round has been upside down due to many personal issues. I know I can do more. See you next round!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Finally, a sunny day! I have lots of garden work to do — yay! I love to be out with the green things. Happy Saturday.
05/08 - 179.8
Another gorgeous day—back to the garden. I got lots done yesterday, but have plenty more to do.
05/09 - 179.6
Monday, Monday…Another beautiful, warm spring day in the offing. So nice to be outside without bundling up! Lots more garden work to do—so much more rewarding then housework! 😁 I made Sea Scallop Bisque for dinner last night—yum! We’ll have the rest tonight. It was my 19th different Sunday soup so far this year. What a fun project this has been, and only one reject in the bunch so far. Most have been delish.
05/10 - 181.2
Wth? I did go a bit over calories, but not that much! Oh, well. It will drop off.
05/11 - 180.6
Crazy bump, but at least it’s going back down.
05/12 - 179.8
Going out to dig some holes. That’s my strength training these days! Be well, friends!
05/13 - 179.6
Ok, I’m not losing as I’d like, but I am down 10 pounds from this time last year, so that’s not nothing. I just need to stop the night-time, tv eating. Don’t know why that’s so hard. Working on it.
05/14 - 179.6
Planting, digging, weeding, edging…. It’s hot, but not bad in the shade. Wheee! Enjoy your Saturday.
05/15 - 181.6
Salt. And I was a bit over calories, but ya don’t gain two pounds of fat overnight! Pushing wawa today.
05/16 - 181.6
Ugh. Just calculated my calorie average for the round…1744. Over maintenance, way over goal. I eat even while thinking “I don’t need this, I’m not hungry.” I need a new approach. Ugh.Goal for 2022-2023 Progress

5/7: DNW - Note to self: At the age 42 you can not have 3-4 vodka tonics in one night and stay out until 2am singing karaoke. You will be hungover for two days and feel like death.
5/8: 220.2 (-2.2) - Happy Mother’s Day to all you mama’s out there. I attribute my “woosh” to being too hungover to eat yesterday. Awful. Never again! Zero stars, do not recommend. Met none of my goals yesterday. Will probably not meet them today. Back on track tomorrow.
5/9: 222.0 (+1.8) - 5/9: 222.0 (+1.8) - Actually hit my water and nutrition/macro goals yesterday. Over on calories, but still under maintenance. My boys took me to a fancy brunch, but I made good choices overall. They made me extra cute cards and got me tickets for all 4 of us to see Bob Dylan in a few weeks. My husband also cleaned up my garden beds for me, so I’ll be planting the rest of my veggie starts all week, for some good summer eats.

5/10: 221.7 (-.3) - Met all my goals, ate clean, slept awful. Volunteer in DS2’s class today. I always burn so many calories with those peanuts even though I just read with them 😆 (they are 1st graders.) Have a great day, everyone!
5/11: 220.2 (-1.5) - Met all my goals. Sun shining here. Really helps me stay on track when it’s not miserable out. ☀️
5/12: 220.4 (+.2) - Was under my water goal by 12oz yesterday (88oz total, whereas I’ve been drinking over 100oz, closer to 120oz on average, for the past few months.) Woke up totally parched and feeling sooo dehydrated. Was good with my sodium yesterday. I am so surprised my body reacted this way 🤷♀️. Made a giant batch of my favorite cowboy caviar for the week (I eat it on egg, rice, and/or lettuce bowls) - so yummy and healthy 😋.
5/13: 220.2 (-.2) - Met my goals yesterday. Waiting for a whoosh at this point . . . 😆. Going to a new restaurant with a friend for lunch. Plan to get their grilled halibut salad, which looks amazing! Happy Friday, everyone!
5/14: 220.6 (+.4) - Drats! Foiled again. My scale and body are conspiring against my hard work. Met my all my goals yesterday.
5/15: 220.4 (-.2) - Hmmm . . . Will I make goal? Won’t I make goal? The suspense!
5/16: 219.6 - (-.8) - Hooray! Passed my round goal! Also, now I’ve lost 20lbs since the new year. See y’all next round

05/07 - 177.5 - 18;000 steps and 124 minutes. Well that’s a drop. Todays plan get a good walk in. Wrap Moms gift in pretty paper that I need to find. Wrap SOs birthday gift. Get some meal planning started and some housework. Housework will probably get pushed. Hope you all achieve your goals today… We got this!
05/08 - 177.3 - 15,300 and 66. Got steps and minutes in but did’t actually go on a ‘walk’. Did get some housework done FINALLY! Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms and a special thought to those who we have lost ❤️. My 2 boys are going on a hike with me today. Looking forwards to that ♥️
05/09 - 177.6 - 13,100 and 97 AND 60 flights of stairs!! Hiked one of the local mountains with my 2 boys, was a wonderful day and I did it with ease. So enjoyed my day! Now calories in was a little higher then usual with a few glasses of wine and an appy lunch then randomly invited to the youngest girlfriends parents house for dinner and dessert. Didn't log as I have no idea what to post! So very happy with the scale this morning! Sadly SO called to say he's not coming home as scheduled hopefully when he does he can stay a little longer then usual.
05/10 - 177.8 - 17,800 and 124. Everything is on target and going well.
05/11 - 176.6 - 17,800 and 130. Miss calculated a butter tart and probably under ate, as I am really hungry this morning! My youngest is going to Nicaragua on Friday and I'm starting to feel anxious, but I am aware that anxiety is a trigger for me so...? Here is to the next 12 days!!
05/12 - 176.3 - 19,700 and 134. Forgot my protein this morning, and I ate my desk emergency tuna yesterday because I was super hungry ... it's going to be a long day!! I should be able to walk over to the store and find something if I'm not too busy.
05/13 - 176.7 - 20,500 and 133. SO is on his way home, yay! Eating plan might be a bit off but I will try to at least maintain and after he rests up will push for him to walk/hike with me. Add on my son going to Nicaragua this will be an interesting week or so. Happy Friday all.
05/14 - 175.9 -17,000 and 110. SO got home and we went out for sushi. Weather is rain rain rain so going for a walk with SO might not happen. Gotta get my walk in though.
05/15 - 176.4 - 16,000 and 40. I’ll see that 5 again soon. My son had some flight issues and some travel changes but he’s on his last flight now. Spent the day with GS got a good amount of steps in but no power walk. Ate more calorie dense than usual. Will be interesting to see how the scale plays out this week with SO home. No hug’s required I’m still doing good. Enjoy your Sunday!
05/16 - 176.3 - 12,600 and 71. Lots of rain and went to a small local museum. Did an hour walk in the pouring rain, but got out there and did it! Ate higher than usual logged to the best of my ability. Dinner out with drinks coming on Tuesday. Just working on holding steady! Hope to see everyone in the next round. We've got this!!
Down 3.3 since the end of last round and 36.2 Since my return to MFP

5/7 166.2 This is deceptive—I'm positive I'll be up tomorrow. Overate last night. Back on track today! And maybe a little walk, if the rain ever lets up.
**5/8 166.2 Holding steady. Got a walk in!
5/9 166.4 164-65 is looking out of reach for this round already. Going to try for some extra careful logging and more movement, lots of water. We'll see!
5/10 166.2 I got more water in yesterday, but zero movement. Need to try a little harder today.
5/11 166.2 Another maintenance round? 😑
5/12 165.8 Finally down (almost) a half pound. No doubt this will last only one day, but it's motivating to see!
5/13 165.0 Love to see this since I'm going to be out of town for a couple of days and this will likely bounce back up.
5/14 164.8 Great! Now to get through some travel where every meal will be from a restaurant.
5/15 DNW, traveling
5/16 165.2 Not bad for two road trips and dining out nonstop. Today I'm back on track: lots of water, saving my limited sugar for the end of the day, maybe fitting in a walk.

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 almost 5 years with amazing results!

Day/Weight/Comment
5/7: - DNW - backpacking
5/8: 133.2 - I’m pretty sure I’ll bounce up again now that we’re back home. Didn’t eat much for breakfast or lunch but it was high calorie stuff (lots of peanut butter things). Dinner was also high calorie, but didn’t counteract the 10.5 mile hike. Did not drink enough water and consequently woke up in the middle of night thirsty.
5/9: 133.8 - Normal workouts although a little sedentary the rest of the day. Had Indian takeout for dinner, so high on carbs. Slept well.
5/10: 134.5 - Normal workout, normal eating with leftover Indian for dinner.
5/11: 134 - Normal workouts, but did not stay within calories yesterday. I was so hungry after the dentist and there was homemade bread cooling on the counter. Not a good combination.
5/12: 134 - Normal workouts, ate my first meal quite late in the day (for me) and then a pretty good dinner. Within my calories including eating back a majority of my exercise calories. Great sleep!
5/13: 133.8 - Normal workouts, but a bit of snacky eating before and after dinner. Still under calories.
5/14: 133.6 - Late workout and probably didn’t drink enough water all day. Homemade asparagus pizza using some leftover goat cheese/creme fraiche filling I had from a tart I made a few weeks ago. Had a hard time falling to sleep.
5/15: 133.2 - Normal workouts and normal eating. Salad and greek yogurt for lunch and cauliflower tacos for dinner. Dessert was vanilla ice cream with berries and some chocolate. Pretty good sleep.
5/16: 132.7 - 1 hour of Jazzercise and a 7+ mile hike. I ate a lot, but still within calories. So-so sleep. This new low weight makes it 39 pounds lost since I came back to MFP in September.
Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: - 2.7 pounds6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
5/7 236.2 - sick
5/8 236.4 – sick but better than yesterday. Got cinnamon rolls, Ben & Jerry’s and a luscious cookbook for Mother’s Day. (Obviously kid missed the weight-loss memo.) Had a cinnamon roll and some ice cream, but within calories.
5/9 235 Still not feeling great but seeing that number this morning was a boost. I have had a cold all last week/weekend (not COVID) but I was very aware of still drinking water and eating reasonably, and I guess it helped. Hoping to go back to the gym this afternoon for a small weights workout (knee rehab) but I’ll probably skip cardio until the cough/congestion goes away.
5/10 233.6 Not sure what’s going on but I’ll take it. Skipped the gym yesterday; by the end of the day I was exhausted. Quick dinner of leftovers and bed. Hoping to feel better soon.
5/11 234.2 Couldn’t deal with making dinner last night so we had takeout – within calories but the sodium was high. I know I’ll bounce around a bit after the recent losses, though. Time to drink some more water and stay on plan!
5/12 235.6 Hmmm. Now I’m really confused. But I know I’ve been within calories and drinking water, so I guess I’m just bouncing around more than usual. Maybe some of it had to do with being sick and taking medicine that would dry up my allergies – maybe it dried up more than that and dropped my weight along with it. At any rate, it’ll all even out.
5/13 235.0 At an all-day meeting today. Successfully avoided the continental breakfast pastries. Salad and fruit for lunch. The box lunch also includes a (huge) cookie, a bag of chips, and some unknown bean salady-thing, all of which I’m planning on taking home for the fam. Getting water is a challenge but I’ll figure it out. Have a great weekend, everyone!
5/14 234.4

5/16 234.6 Beginning of a hectic week with lots of work travel and eating out. Going to do the best I can. I’m already tired just thinking about it. 😊
