7/23-169-That was expected after eating a big helping of ice cream with lunch. Tortilla chips in my chicken salad at dinner. Did a bunch of weed whacking this morning before it got hot.

A friend and I joined a program at our local hospital. It was called “Slim for Life” and I have never forgotten a remark by the hospital’s registered dietitian the first night. “You can NEVER eat cake again.” I’m surprised any of us returned for the next class. If I had a loss during those weeks, I do not remember it.
I have found what works for me (low carb) and know from tracking what will set me back and how to recover after I “binge.” My binges are no longer eating a 1/2# Hershey bar but maybe a cookie or two.
And that relates to the Mary Pickford quote. I always get up but sometimes it takes a bit longer. 😁
@quiltingjaine I admire your pure honesty and delight in your sense of humor. I have struggled with real true binging in the past. I mean thinking about the masses of sugar and sodium I had put in front of myself in those moments now makes me nauseous. Just imagine your kitchen table loaded full of junk food and going to town, that was me. That’s why I can’t over restrict myself anymore or buy into the “cheat day” mentality ever again. Our bodies all have their own quirks and our brains too. There isn’t any one size fits all plan. That’s why tracking and pages like this are so powerful. I again am so thankful for you! I love carbs but I also push my body hard so what works for me is cycling them (high carb, low protein, low fat + intense cardio / low carb, high protein, high fat (healthy ones) + light cardio/strength / repeat). I’m not a cake lover but I have to allow controlled cravings. On that note as a banana lover I will say - um 🙋♀️ This gal right here got fat eating them 😉. And maybe drinking too much OJ while at it.

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.
7/21 - 150 - I ate well yesterday.
7/22 - 149.5 - Yay, I hit my goal for the round. I may bounce up tomorrow because of the sodium I'll be eating tonight, but at least my trend is going down.
7/23 - 149.5 - We had Chinese food with the grandson last night, but I watched my quantity. Today is an art festival in the park across from my house. I allow myself one corn dog a year and I'll be getting it at the festival today. I'll watch my eating the rest of the day.

7/23 - 138.6 again. Going to take a rest day today outside of child wrangling, so I’ll really have to watch my intake. Unfortunately we went out to lunch and I did not resist the pimento cheeseburger, whoops. There went over half of the day’s calories. I did some dancing with the toddlers to at least get my heart rate up and direct some of their endless energy. We also went swimming at a nearby lake this morning. Not a swimming workout with a 1 and 3 year old but I got a few thousand steps in chasing them around. Sadly it’s too hot to be outside anymore today unless I set the sprinkler or kiddie pool up for them.

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.

@lynnhudzik2019 give yourself some grace! You are only human and every step in the right direction, no matter how small adds up to big results. Don’t push yourself too hard, it’ll just spin & burn you out. You got this! Tomorrow is a new day. Big big hugs for ya’.

Day/Weight/Comment
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
7/20: 154.0, I ate alot of bacon yesterday which probably caused me to retain water. Nice observation to watch the amount of bacon
7/21: 154.0, I forgot to weigh myself before eating again!🙃 I'm still out of town so not in routine right now. I most likely would of had a recorded loss today. I weighed myself right after eating when I remembered lol
7/22: Traveled yesterday, wasn’t able to weigh in
7/23: 153.4, so happy my body is finally fat adapted. I’m ready to lose weight. Hoping I can get to 151.6 by the end of this challenge

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.

A friend and I joined a program at our local hospital. It was called “Slim for Life” and I have never forgotten a remark by the hospital’s registered dietitian the first night. “You can NEVER eat cake again.” I’m surprised any of us returned for the next class. If I had a loss during those weeks, I do not remember it.
I have found what works for me (low carb) and know from tracking what will set me back and how to recover after I “binge.” My binges are no longer eating a 1/2# Hershey bar but maybe a cookie or two.
And that relates to the Mary Pickford quote. I always get up but sometimes it takes a bit longer. 😁
@quiltingjaine I admire your pure honesty and delight in your sense of humor. I have struggled with real true binging in the past. I mean thinking about the masses of sugar and sodium I had put in front of myself in those moments now makes me nauseous. Just imagine your kitchen table loaded full of junk food and going to town, that was me. That’s why I can’t over restrict myself anymore or buy into the “cheat day” mentality ever again. Our bodies all have their own quirks and our brains too. There isn’t any one size fits all plan. That’s why tracking and pages like this are so powerful. I again am so thankful for you! I love carbs but I also push my body hard so what works for me is cycling them (high carb, low protein, low fat + intense cardio / low carb, high protein, high fat (healthy ones) + light cardio/strength / repeat). I’m not a cake lover but I have to allow controlled cravings. On that note as a banana lover I will say - um 🙋♀️ This gal right here got fat eating them 😉. And maybe drinking too much OJ while at it.
I too am guilty of being a binger, it seems that once I go off track I can't stop, even when I have cleared the house of all the chocolate/cakes/biscuits that I like, I crave even more and have even been known to eat dark chocolate bought for DH that I really don't like!!!! And I will keep on until there is physically no more room in my stomach for anymore, then I feel extremely sick, bloated, uncomfortable & can never sleep that night. So you would think that I would learn from this? But like any addict, the addiction craving at times just takes over!! . I find that not eating them at all does for me mostly stop me binging, however, if I am really in control I can on rare occasions weigh out a limited amount of e.g.chocolate, logging it, eating it slowly & mindfully. I really wish that I could do this all the time!! I wonder if hypnosis would help? Has anyone tried it?3 -

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.

I was afraid that I'd be up a couple pounds today but only 0.2. I'll take it. And I'll do better today. Yay!5 -

7/24 - 140.4 😩 I guess this is mostly water from my super salty lunch yesterday. I keep thinking I’m going to see a substantial drop at some point and it’s not happening. I guess I really am going to have to watch what I’m eating and not just how much. Can’t believe how stubborn this weight is. I guess this is my metabolism at 37 after two kids. Five years ago I got down to 122. I know I can do it again but I’m going to have to modify my approach. I guess this is growing up. I’m sure it doesn’t get easier from here so it’s time to do it. I also read that weight loss is easier at higher altitudes and I lived 3000 feet higher then. Can’t believe the 10 days are over tomorrow and I’m up 2.6 lbs, oof.
Today I’m going mountain biking and to a winery with a friend. I’m excited to go do something a bit different. Hopefully my Peloton training translates because I haven’t been out on the bike in a while!5 -

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.
7/21 - 150 - I ate well yesterday.
7/22 - 149.5 - Yay, I hit my goal for the round. I may bounce up tomorrow because of the sodium I'll be eating tonight, but at least my trend is going down.
7/23 - 149.5 - We had Chinese food with the grandson last night, but I watched my quantity. Today is an art festival in the park across from my house. I allow myself one corn dog a year and I'll be getting it at the festival today. I'll watch my eating the rest of the day.
7/24 - 149 - The grandson came back over yesterday afternoon and wanted to try some fair food so I walked back over with him. I managed to keep myself within limits by just taking a taste of each item. My weight may jump tomorrow due to the extra carbs and sodium since it can take a day or two for them to show up, but I'm happy my trend weight is down.

7/24: 179.6 yes, all my work went out the window. I went on the cruise. i have wanted to go on one for 20 years, but work has stopped me. well, retirement opened opportunities and i planned my cruise. since my baby sister is turning 50 on 7/30, I invited her to go with me as a birthday gift. we were on Royal Caribbean, and visited roatan, costa maya, and cozumel (i have probably spelled every one of those city names incorrectly). i will begin keeping track of my calories again, and MUST go shopping to get healthier options in the house (the man is predictable with donuts and frozen dinners.)

Day/Weight/Calories/Comment
7/16 - 178
I went a little off the rails last night, but I think it was ok as I worked a good five hours in the garden transplanting and planting various things. I was hungry and pooped! I did eat more salt than usual—was craving it, so I ate some Triscuits with cheddar cheese. So not as junky as it might have been! We’ve had a lovely rain to water everything in, so I’ve been out weeding this morning, and plan to go tracking (dog tracks, I follow) later. Tracking = lots of walking. In the meantime I think I’ll just sit and read. Enjoy your Saturday!
7-17 - 178.4
Lots of walking yesterday evening while tracking training with two friends and their dogs. We were out for 2 hours, walking most of that through fields. I conked out early last night! Calories were under goal in spite of a piece of lovely peach galette I made from my big box of peaches, so I think this bump is from Friday night. I also made a low-sugar peach-ginger jam—it’s fabulous!—and froze a bunch of peaches for smoothies and whatever in the future. Now I’m off for a short tracking session to work on some weaknesses. Surely all this walking will force some pounds to fall off? Have a lovely Sunday!
7/18 - 178
Monday, Monday…although I trust the day to be productive. I went over calories yesterday, but not over maintenance, so all good. The plan for today is back on track. Have a lovely!
7/19 - 177.8
I made a lovely tropical fruit & mixed berries collagen powder almond milk smoothie for breakfast—yummy! Leftover chicken fajita soup for dinner. Probably a salad for lunch. Nice to have the day planned! I’ve edited my goal for the year—no weight goal. I find weight goals aren’t viable. I can’t control what I weigh, only what I eat and do for exercise. If I do those with health in mind, the weight will follow. I don’t know what I was thinking giving myself untenable goals. Life is one long revision!
7/20 - 177
It’s gonna be a scorcher here as many other places. I think I’ll make gazpacho for lunch or dinner. Cold and yummy. Here’s a photo I took yesterday that makes me smile—but then Rory and sunflowers always make me smile. I hope the make you smile, too!
7/21 - 176.8
Finally, something is working! I made gazpacho yesterday for lunch because of the heat, and have leftovers for today, so yay. Stay cool, everyone!
7/22 - 177.2
No problem—I blew right through my calorie goal (though still below maintenance) with a splurge on Tortitos that DH wanted to go with the gazpacho, and later some ice cream. I paid, though, with an upset tummy, probably from the salt. I haven’t had chips of any kind in, wow, I can’t even remember. It will be another long time now! And all is well, back on track today. I have 11 new daylilies to plant this morning before it gets too hot. Happy Friday, all!
7/23 - 177.4
Never got the lilies planted but I did spend a good 3 hours moving some plants around and pulling weeds and grass! When the rain stops, I can plant in nice, wet ground. Perfect! And really, I can use a morning indoors, although it’s a challenge when Rory can’t get out for a good morning run! Ah, to have that energy. Zoom! Enjoy your Saturday, all.
7/24 - 177.4
As I mentioned earlier, I bought a big box of peaches, ate some, froze some, made fruit-only jam with some,….but the remainders were starting to get too ripe, so I made a peach crisp yesterday, cutting the recipe sugar in half. Delish, and I was still within my calorie goal. Yay! Happy rest of your weekend!

Day/Weight/Comment: Reflections on previous day
7/16 - 160.1 (-1.1) - Fighting a headache (probably caffeine deprivation) but family is all better again. Created an interesting fusion meal last night and that was fun. Very healthy and kids loved it. 💧144 oz, 🥗Net under, 💪475 kcals, 👟11,424, ⛑+34 PAI (193).
“You may not be there yet, but you are closer than you were yesterday.” - José N Harris
7/17 - 160 (-.1) - 🎉 Wahoo! If nothing else I was hoping to see that tiny little decimal point fall off today. Down 20lbs & feeling great about that. Celebrating with a day at the lake today. 💧176 oz., 🥗 Gross under, 💪 739 kcal’s, 👟 13,970, ⛑+ 65 PAI (244).
“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” - Zig Ziglar
7/18 - 161.2 (+1.2) - Wowsa! I was amped again yesterday! Spent almost 14 hrs at the lake and was actively paddling/swimming just shy of 10hrs. (racing my son + best friend for a fair chunk). Not sure where this burst of energy has come from but I’ll take it. I feel better than I have in at least a month. I was sore while we were still moving + shaking yesterday and today there isn’t a muscle outside of my face that isn’t feeling it! Ate late at Red Robin and treated myself to a big Stella. Once I stopped moving though I was ready to snooze and that’s about what happened as soon as we got back home. Between the muscles, heat and food choices (how late it was to boot) I’m not surprised by the scale but it’ll fall right back off. Scored a never used Vertical Climber for $25 (my goal hitting prize) and can’t wait to pick up this evening. 💧148 oz., 🥗 Net Under, 💪3,245 kcal’s, 👟38,645, ⛑ +75 (262).
