7/19-171-Made turkey soup and added the stuffing, gravy and pearl barley....too many carbs. I think I’ll freeze part of it in portions my husband can eat for lunches. Off to see the horse then knock all of the cobwebs down and mop.

@musicsax and others in the UK and Europe who are experiencing record high temperatures - My prayers are with you all! Those temps combined with high humidity are awful.

Thank you, at least I'm retired so can get out very early to walk before it's too hot to walk, l feel sorry for DH working climbing trees (arborist) -carrying heavy timber in his heavy protective clothes and helmet. At least his employer allowed them to go home at 1.30 whilst we are having this heatwave. I know lots of places experience these temperatures for much longer than is, but we are just not used to it!! Having to keep an eye on elderly neighbours to keep hydrated etc.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/15 -198.2-ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/16 -198.8- (Trend weight 200.1)
07/17 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW)

07/18 -200.8- (Trend weight 200.2) WTH? Goodbye Onederland! I was under calorie and carb again yesterday. A very high calorie burn for the day. Macros were good but sodium showed a little high due to a frozen dinner. I have not eaten back any caiories. Feeling pretty good. Still a bit of a cough but testing negative finally for the Covid virus. I still don’t get it. Especially since the gains have been higher than the original whoosh after testing positive for Covid. This is not a plateau, it’s a steady gain for no apparent reason. I’m really starting to feel sorry for myself and that usually does not lead me to a very good place.

07/19 -200.6- (Trend weight 200.3) The scale is finally leveling off. There is even a small 0.2 drop today. Maybe it will turn completely back around and wander back into Onederland. I took a long walk of over 30 minutes in my neighborhood with my son last night. The hardest part was my own driveway and my own street due to the steep inclines. The rest of it was broken up between hills, inclines and flat areas. Just random enough to make it possible for me. I don’t think my son was too thrilled but I know he is trying to help me keep my heart strong. He took it all more seriously when he saw me on the heart monitor at home with all the wires. Truthfully though, he needs the movement as much or more than me. He is 5’ 6” and weighs about 306 pounds. His BMI is over 50. He is 26 years old but his autism keeps him from fully understanding the gravity of his situation. I hope to get him out even more. Also, to get him dancing with me again! My blood pressure ran low all day yesterday. About 98/52 most of the day and evening. This morning running about the same again. I have no idea if I should be taking the BP meds when it runs this low. Anyone happen to know anything about that? I’ll also google what I can.

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

@deepwoodslady oh Donna, Donna, Donna thank you for sharing such a beautiful aspect of your journey! It warmed my heart so much to read about how you and your son are taking these strides together to support one another and work towards changing your health. It’s not easy to push through the hard stuff but you’ve got the mindset of a champion! I’m giving you the biggest virtual squeeze right now as I wipe some tears from my eyes. You are simply out of this world amazing & I’m so grateful to have crossed paths with you. You give so many people hope and It is my sincere wish that you know that. On days where I want to just excuse it all away I’m going to start slapping myself with your example; “If Donna can do it Jenn then there is no reason you can’t”. I am just amazed by you! Can I get another song?

And I’d talk to the doctor about your blood pressure as they have a better understanding of your overall health. High blood pressure runs in my family but I’ve been fortunate enough to avoid that fight so far (my siblings & parents cannot say the same). I battled low blood pressure when I was pregnant with my youngest and I know how awful that feels. Don’t exert yourself too much if you feel lightheaded. My Mom has vascular disease and has over 20 stints because of it to prevent stroke. It makes her blood pressure incredibly volatile (super high to super low and back). No matter what they do with her medications and surgeries it’s a constant battle. Wishing you all the best on the cardiovascular stuff Mama.

7/16 / 166.4 / Even my husband asked me this morning why my face was so puffy. I had a super long day yesterday- at the final workday corporate event for the Stampede standing on a rooftop patio in hot weather and then a night at the grounds watching live music standing on concrete. Surpassed 20,000 steps again and just did what I needed to avoid heat stroke or dehydration. Off to the lake today.
7/17 / DNW / At the lake and forgot the scale. Supper last night was a nice salad with watermelon and cherries. Got my 10,000 steps and had a nap.
7/18 / 163.8 / Last corporate event for Stampede last night and I went way too hard and hot home way too late. We went and saw Elvis after work today.
7/19 / 165.8 / At the airport to fly back to Ontario to visit my husband's family. Looking forward to enjoying it in the middle of summer as we are usually there more during the shoulder seasons.

7/17: 133.6 - Leftover Indian food. Had a couple of good workouts plus we’re washing windows, etc in prep for some house guests. That added a bunch of active points on my watch.
7/18: 133.8 - Still working on that leftover Indian food. Kept calories within target.
7/19: 133.4 - Not sure why the slight dip weight-wise because I ate sooo many carbs yesterday. Good workout and good sleep.

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!

@deepwoodslady oh Donna, Donna, Donna thank you for sharing such a beautiful aspect of your journey! It warmed my heart so much to read about how you and your son are taking these strides together to support one another and work towards changing your health. It’s not easy to push through the hard stuff but you’ve got the mindset of a champion! I’m giving you the biggest virtual squeeze right now as I wipe some tears from my eyes. You are simply out of this world amazing & I’m so grateful to have crossed paths with you. You give so many people hope and It is my sincere wish that you know that. On days where I want to just excuse it all away I’m going to start slapping myself with your example; “If Donna can do it Jenn then there is no reason you can’t”. I am just amazed by you! Can I get another song?

And I’d talk to the doctor about your blood pressure as they have a better understanding of your overall health. High blood pressure runs in my family but I’ve been fortunate enough to avoid that fight so far (my siblings & parents cannot say the same). I battled low blood pressure when I was pregnant with my youngest and I know how awful that feels. Don’t exert yourself too much if you feel lightheaded. My Mom has vascular disease and has over 20 stints because of it to prevent stroke. It makes her blood pressure incredibly volatile (super high to super low and back). No matter what they do with her medications and surgeries it’s a constant battle. Wishing you all the best on the cardiovascular stuff Mama.

@JbeanR0212 Thanks so much for your inspiring words. I'm right there along with everyone else, just doing the best I can with whatever I've been given. My son has severe eating problems due to sensory disorders. He lives on carbs and has always been heavy, even as a young child. I've had to teach him so much, as all parents do. I know it's my job to teach him about good health and how we get there, but there are those challenges..... Of course, I'll never give up on him or his chances for a better life.

I am grateful for the MFP community. I am grateful to this challenge. And I am grateful to you for your kindness and your admiration. You brought a tear or two to my eye today today as well and that makes us blood sisters in the safest way.

I'm not a huge country music fan but if the beat is right or it takes my fancy a bit I will dance to almost anything. Try, "Boys Round Here" by Blake Shelton. It's a cute song with the right beat. He's backed up by the Pistol Annie's which his ex-wife Miranda Lambert was the lead in. Enjoy!

7/16: 154.6, I'v gained past my initial weight in Feb 2022 of 145 . I'm changing diet and it's known to gain before losing when becoming fat adapted. I plan to start seeing fat loss in August

7/17: 154.6, I forgot to weigh before eating this morning. Happy I'm still the same weight

Hopefully I have reached my peak of weight gain. Body is adapting to higher fat diet
7/18: 154.2, I forgot to weigh myself before eating. Surprisingly I still recorded a loss!

I think I'm finally going to start trending down

7/19: 153.4, Still need to workout today

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 193 ( my 125th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.

Goal this round is just to lose, I want my Commonwealth Volunteer uniform to feel a little less “snug” ! (First shift is Wednesday !! ) No binges, keep within calories & macros.

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.

7/16 - 152
7/17 - 152.5
7/18 - 150.5 - Back to the office today. I'm drinking plenty of water to hopefully prevent a bounce from the sodium this weekend.
7/19 - 150 - The scale bounced between 149.5 and 150.5 so I'm taking the average. I have a business lunch today at a very popular local Italian restaurant. I'm planning to order a low calorie salad, although it will be hard not to have some of their famous pizza or lasagna.
7/20 - 150 - Okay. I ended up having a half piece of pizza and half of my salad for lunch yesterday. I stayed on plan the rest of the day.

@jaccimc63 I totally would have caved on the pizza, and not just a half piece. Pizza is my kryptonite. Good for you for being strong!

7/20 - 154.5 - Easing back down. A little shocked as SD wanted to make rice so BF helped her make homemade chicken fried rice. Quite a carb-loaded meal for dinner. But I was mindful of what I was eating all day, only snacked on a packet of lemon-pepper salmon when I realized I was truly hungry (not boredom or emotional eating). Woke up again this morning for some movement. Yoga With Adriene "For when you're feeling dead inside" which is pretty accurate how I was feeling this AM. I was NOT having it. I had some pretty awful dreams, tossing and turning and waking up frequently. But I knew that 1 hour was not enough to make me feel any better so I might as well get up and move since it's more likely to boost me than a bit more sleep. Photos are up in the air as Fam didn't quite account for a few things, unfortunately. It is BF's fathers day gift so we left everything up to them except us getting our outfits (theme is red&black). We shall see if it works out. Kiddos only have a couple more weeks here so hopefully they get it sorted as the next opportunity is spring break. If it is postponed, maybe I can work this bloat off a little more and feel a little better about them. If not, oh well. The dress I chose will hide the bloat-belly I currently am dealing with fairly well. Edit to add because brain isn't working today: my TMI/digestion is all kinds of wonky. Not sure what's causing it but I have a feeling it is impacting how bloated I look/feel. Likely has impact on weight as well since I'm almost always higher when I have noticeable bloat. Hoping my food choices this week will fix this in the next few days. Edit #2: Fam just informed us they were able to find a place to accomodate us for photos. They are happening tonight after all.

7/18 - No idea why my body wants to put on weight. Granted, food has been a little wonky but not entirely unhealthy. Today likely has a little to do with the fact that we FINALLY painted our ceiling beams yesterday and boy are my arms/shoulders SOOOOOOORE. Plus lots of up and down ladders for a leg workout. We have family portraits Wednesday evening that I'm trying to work toward looking okay in. BF and kiddos going to BF's dad's this weekend (out of state), leaving Thursday morning and coming back Monday evening so it'll just be BigBro and I. We both work Thurs, Fri, Mon and he never really leaves his room on weekends so it'll pretty much just be me. I only have to worry about his to/from work and feeding him dinner (which I'm feeding myself so it's not a big deal there). I did force myself out of bed this morning (by reminding myself my actual alarm goes off in less than an hour and I'll be miserable if I let myself fall back asleep) to knock out a nice workout. 5-4-3-2-1 min alternating bike/rower (5 min row, 1 min rest, 5 min bike, 1 min rest, 4 min rower, etc). Feel better now that it's done. Let's see if I can keep this up, though. So long as I can get into bed around 9-930 every night, I think I can force myself up. Thursday might be a challenge since BigBro has to be at work a half hour earlier cutting my workout time short. Plus this week we may get home later Wed night since we're doing sunset family portraits (around 730-8) and that's about an hours drive away. Might call that my rest morning.
7/19 - Surprised at the drop despite the big heavy dinner. It was, however, filled with protein and veggies (I doubled up on veggies). Second day waking up at 5 to get some movement in. I'm super sore, particularly in the shoulders and neck (DOMS from painting I believe. Always the second day after for me I've noticed) so I did a nice Yoga With Adriene morning routine for 34 minutes. Hoping it would help the bit of a tension headache I have due to the neck/shoulder soreness. Might need to put some cream on to help ease it, though. The habit here isn't necessarily the workout, it's the getting up and moving first thing in some form or fashion. Due to the "lightness" of yoga, I have to be very careful about my food today. I have lunch and dinner planned, but I've noticed I get quite hungry mid-afternoon. I have a little bit of extra calories left for something to hold me over, though, so I should be okay so long as I stay mindful. Also, so long as I have my water dialed in, I have coffee in the morning to help me push lunch a little later (yay for the appetite suppressant side of coffee! Plus my collagen. I usually only drink one cup when I get back from dropping off BigBro but I'm drinking it early today so I'll give myself permission for a second cup later in the morning should I need it. Second cup won't have collagen added. Gotta watch them calories!). Hope everyone has a fantastic day! Editing to add: I'm focusing on how I feel and look vs the scale since I'm trying to reintroduce regular workouts. I know I'll likely gain some (or not lose) from glycogen and muscle build-up initially if I can keep this habit up.

10-Day Challenge (July 15 - 25)
Hi All - I'm in for round 4 for me. These challenges are working for me and the support from the group is priceless. The next 10 days will be tough because I'm away from my Peloton and on a working vacation in Florida. I lost a little over 2 pounds last round (did some yo-yo-ing in the middle. I'm hoping to keep the downward trend going, exercising daily, and making/sticking to my meal plans.

SW: 144
7/16: Sa 143.8
7/17 S - 146.4 - Went off track yesterday. It was a beach day. I shared a plate of nachos with hubby and had 2 mojitos.
7/18 M - 144.2
7/19 Tu - 142.8
7/20 W - 143.8 - Went a little off track. Had a beer with DH (finally figured out what that means ha!) after dinner and also had late night snacks (drats!). The win is that I didn't totally overdo it like I normally do with the snacking and drinks. My birthday is coming up and I'm also planning to see old friends while in Florida. I'm stating it here. I will make a reasonable plan for how I'm going to handle all of that and stick to plan.

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)

7/16 118.5 GKI 6.0 Yesterday was a good day. OMAD was ham, 2 eggs, and 32 slices of a new to me keto bread recipe from Wholesome Yum - made with hearts of palm.
**EDIT - Oops, I see the recipe was from “ibreatheimhungry.” Maybe that’s why I couldn’t find it
7/17 119.0 GKI 6.5 Homemade “pulled” pork and squash medley.
7/18 119.5 GKI 10.1 1/2 GG salad w/steak & 1/8 pita and had made strawberry whipped cream sweetened with vanilla bean SF syrup (less than 1/2c portion) **Post post edit - 3-4 days no TMI, finally relieved.
7/19 118.5 GKI 4.6 Finished GG salad early, went to the Apple store, got gasoline (!) and made a hamburger patty for myself had it on two thin slices of the bread I made the other day and ate one cup of leftover squash, pepper and onions. Nothing after 6PM - aiming for 16-18 hour fast which I intend to break with my version of BPC.
7/20 119.5 GKI 6.2 @4:30 AM Rt calf cramp woke me at 2:30 and 4. Gave up, got up, sitting in the dark LR. Community Bingo tonight, no idea what they will have for dinner. Fasting since lun-ner around 2 yesterday.
