    10/03 -199.2- (Trend weight 198.8)I made my goal of losing anything point anything but this was not a good round overall. Too many sweet cheats from DGS snacks. Not enough movement. I know I can do better than this. I am proud of every one of you that showed up, logged, posted etc. Congrats to those who met goals. See you next round. Thank you Quilting Jaine.

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

    Hi, I’m Kathy.
    58, F, 5’8”
    Back for my 21st round and the accountability and companionship along the way!

    Return to MFP SW (Dec 2021): 267
    HSW: 265
    RSW: 215.6
    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
    9/24 215.0 – officially 50 pounds down from where I started!
    9/25 215.0
    9/26 215.2 Happy Monday everyone! Had a great weekend – our son came home from college. Before he left, he said he wanted pumpkin bread and chocolate chip cookies. So I got the joy of baking with him, and then got to eat a slice of bread and a couple of warm cookies and send the rest away with him! Best of all possible outcomes. 😊
    9/27 214.8 Actually in the office today for the first time in a month or so. Preparing for an event tomorrow afternoon so there will be a lot of running around. Unfortunately, I did not make time to bring lunch with me, so I’ll have to figure something out. That usually doesn’t end well. Then I’m doing a crafty thing with friends tonight so dinner will also be on the run. All in all it should be an interesting day, but I’ll do my best!
    9/28 214.6 Making and painting a Halloween tree with friends last night was great fun! I did well all day but then we went out to eat after the class. The menu wasn’t overly friendly to those of us watching caloric intake but I did the best I could, and I enjoyed my half portion of fish and some chips. I imagine I’ll see a bounce upwards tomorrow. Meals for today are planned and logged. Hope any of you in or around FL are safe from Ian!
    9/29 214.2 Expected a bounce up but I’ll take the drop. We are leaving for our anniversary cruise in 24 days (who’s counting?) and I don’t think I’ll quite make my goal of 210 before leaving but I’m giving it everything I’ve got. Meals for today are planned and logged.
    9/30 214.0 Rainy, breezy day here thanks to the remnants of Ian. Today is one of those days I’d love to curl up with a book and a cat, but work calls. Hope each of you have a great weekend!
    10/1 213.8
    10/2 214.2
    10/3 213.8 Yesterday was a hard day but we got through it. We have friends who are dealing with some stuff and it’s hard to watch people you love go through tough times. But I’m back on plan today. Meals are planned and logged. @SheilaBoneham, Rory is a gorgeous fellow! My mom had a very anxious Aussie who was mistreated before he came to her and I know it’s hard. Thank you for taking such good care of him! @abigailgorton1 congratulations!

    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)

    9/24 121.5 Ate 2 slices of sourdough yesterday. Going to Great Greek today to celebrate servers birthday. She’s a sweet young thing and very artistic.
    9/25 122.0 🤦‍♀️No words!!!
    9/26 123.0 General Tso’s Chicken at Chinese restaurant yesterday. Ate half and 1T of rice. Breaded and sugary - can’t count high enough to count THOSE carbs! Remaining chicken going in the freezer! AQe Meeting across town this morning. Woke up before 4:30. UGH! No TMI since Thursday or Friday - time to pull out the big guns! DH is getting back to his regular pre-op routine. He plays pinochle or Tripoley 3 times a week. I need to get my act together!
    9/27 123.0 Chicken Cobb salad yesterday-1/2 at lunch, 1/2 at dinner
    9/28 123.0 Thunder woke me by 6, it’s pouring right now. Lightning and thunder at the same time startled Oskar. He jumped about 10 feet! Poor baby! Now he’s yelling at me - as much as a cat can yell!
    9/29 122.0 DH FINALLY has first post-op PT appointment in an hour.
    9/30 121.5 Genghis Grill yesterday, lots of low carb veggies
    10/1 121.5 Took blind neighbor and DH to lunch - OMAD was 1/2 of sourdough cheeseburger, with 1/4 avocado and 5 onion rings
    10/2 123.0 Pool closing party yesterday catered by Famous Dave’s. Brisket, BBQ chicken breast, 1/3 corn muffin (meh) and cake from somewhere-it wasn’t even tempting. One bite. Yuck.
    10/3 123.0 I think it’s the stress of life. Driving DH is driving ME CRAZY. I need to get a grip! Didn’t get together with family. DGD didn’t feel well.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    9/24: - DNW - backpacking
    9/25: - DNW - backpacking
    9/26: - DNW - backpacking
    9/27: 131.2 - Turned out we didn’t do any backpacking but ended up camping/hiking. Our need to be near wi-fi service for an important phone call called for altering our plans. I think three days may be my limit for being dirty. We planned dinners and breakfasts and lunch the first day. Rest of the time was mostly snack food.
    9/28: 132.1 - No workout or keeping track of eating. Love that the scale always jolts me back to reality!
    9/29: 131.2 - Normal workout, good eating and good sleep
    9/30: 131.2 - Normal workouts. Eating was mostly compressed into the later evening hours which made me feel full going to bed.
    10/1: 131.6 - Got my workout in early and eating was mainly good.
    10/2: 131.4 - Normal workout with a pretty tough glutei/arm/ab workout. I’m surprised I’m not more sore this morning. Needed it to counteract the Rice Krispy Treat sampling we did as I was making them for a friend.
    10/3: 130.5 - Unexpected way to end the round, but I’ll take it. Lowest weight I've been in 40 years probably. Got my workout in, but still eating too many sweets. Yesterday made coconut macaroons for a friend’s wedding. Of course, had to sample.

    Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: - 0.2 pounds

    9/24 212 lbs, walked yesterday, stayed under calories, even with a few extra munchies.
    9/25 211.8, walked yesterday and today, had to find something to eat before bedtime to get close to 1200 calories.
    9/26 211.6, the right direction. I don’t plan to walk today, so weight may be up tomorrow.
    9/27 212. Yes, it’s up, but it’s ok. No walk yesterday or today, ate late last night. Should go down in a day or two. Eating good.
    9/28 211.8 worked in yard, probably up tomorrow.
    9/29 212.4 my “midnight snack” is showing.
    9/30 211.6 better.
    10/1 211.6 hmm
    10/2 212.4 no midnight snack, under calories yesterday.
    10/3 212.4

    New to this challenge.
    My goal is to stay on track for 10 straight days. I love ❤️ low calorie foods. Problem is that I love high calorie foods too.
    But I WILL have more of the former and less of the latter for 10 days.


    I don’t know what happened. I ate under my goal calories every day, exercised some days, and gained .4 pounds in 10 days.
    This seems to be the way my life is going.


    I did prove to myself that I can eat only healthy, low calorie food for days at a time if I just try.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    9/24 / 169.4 / Not surprised I had a bump up after the mysterious two pound drop. I also ate my feelings last night and exercise didn't happen. Work is getting the best of me. I am still trending down after my vacation but I need to ensure I'm managing my emotions without using food as a crutch.
    9/25 / 169.8 / Last day of the season at the lake. Slept late and now I'm enjoying my coffee outside.
    9/26 / 169 / Today's wins: balanced mental health at work, ate on plan, 60 minute Peloton ride, over 8000 steps, quality time with family.
    9/27 / 169.2 / Walked at lunch so I have already hit my 10K steps and that's before I take my dog out. I am emotionally tired today so I'm just trying to prioritize the time I have tonight as best I can.
    9/28 / 168.8
    9/29 / 168.8
    9/30 / 171.4
    10/1 / 172.2 / Happy October! The work week is not allowing for much in the way of downtime, but I missed checking in here. Thursday night I had an after hours work event that was a food and drink blowout and then I lead into a full out binge. My jump is a reflection of that. After my on-call duties this morning my husband and I are meeting one of his friends in Canmore to bike.
    10/2 / 171.4 / We had a great day biking in the mountains yesterday and today we go for a hike. Get to take our dog this time. The fall weather right now is beautiful.. can't beat it!
    10/3 / 171.4 / Had a good Peloton workout after work tonight and ate salad for dinner. Need to make some progress next round.

    I am about 8 kg along the way to lose 32 kg. I use multiple tape measurements (cm) around my body because they aren't affected by salt intake. My weight has been dropping for 5 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.

    Heaviest ever 1st Jan 2021, goal+31.8 kg

    How this round went: unfortunately I gained this round. Which means I've delayed reaching goal weight by about 20 days. It also means I've wasted 50 minutes each day on the elliptical. Hopefully I will lose next round.

    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!

    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.
