    Thanks @quiltingjaine for another round.


    1/13 209.6 Yesterday and today are kinda blah days. Trying to be better but I so want to snack on something. I want to be at my RGW though too.

    I feel this so much! Snacking is hard for me too! I have found that if I have some cut up carrots available at all times, then I can snack and not feel bad about it. Besides, the crunch and sweetness of the carrot tends to satisfy the snack craving beast for me.

    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 5 years with amazing results!

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

    We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

    Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

    SW RND 211 126.0
    1/12 127.0 Neighbor took us out to Texas Roadhouse because we “took care” of their house for 6 weeks. I ate a salad with blue cheese dressing, 8 oz steak, and 1 dinner roll. That was my OMAD. Should’ve skipped the roll - it is so sweet even without their cinnamon sugar butter(I don’t like it)! Day 1 of tracking. More than 90 oz of water.
    1/13 125.0 That’s what happens when I cut the carbs. Tracked my food, drank about 90 oz of water. And a 40 oz Coke Zero from the C-store. Day 2 tracked
    1/14 125.5 DH wanted to go to breakfast with blind friend but said if I didn’t go, he wouldn’t. I wasn’t hungry but the aromas got to me. I had a patty melt but didn’t eat the fries. By last night my knees were aching as a result of the bread. I’ll survive and today will be better.
    1/15 DNW DH wanted KFC yesterday(we hadn’t had it in months. THAT’S NOT KETO!) Woke up at 3:58 was getting h/a by 4:15, got up, took Fosamax (weekly on Sunday) and tried to go to sleep sitting up. LOL had coffee by 5:15.

    Hi, I’m Christine 😊
    1st Round Joining
    Age 53, 5’5”
    Heaviest- 345 lbs (prior to gastric bypass in Aug 2005)
    Current Weight- 157.6 lbs
    Goal Weight- 150 lbs (TBD)

    This looks fun and encouraging! Thanks! I am looking to make new MFP friends for inspiration! Especially looking to connect with those who have had gastric bypass and struggle with regain.

    This week's daily goals: 90 grams of protein, 8 cups fluid, take vitamins/supplements, chill out on the ice-cream sammiches!

    1/13- Took supplements! 116 g of protein! 7 cups of fluid and 1 ice-cream sammich.
    1/14- 157.0 lbs, took supplements, 94 g of protein, 7 cups of fluids and 2 ice-cream sammiches. That is one ice-cream sammich too many, but this challenge is really helping me to stay more accountable! It was bitterly cold and I didn't walk much. Had intended on doing a YouTube walking video (I really like Grow With Jo) but I had a friend over for coffee and so I ran out of time. Hope everyone has a great Sunday.😊
    1/15-157.2 lbs, took iron*, took supplements, 88 g protein, 10 cups fluids, 1 ice-cream sammich. Didn’t walk today (called the dog walker) but did do a bunch of cleaning so that is at least something.

    *I had read that taking iron with caffeine or dairy impacted absorption, so I had stopped taking iron altogether. However, I have recently read that taking it with caffeine or dairy is better than not taking it at all! I often suffer from anemia, so I have decided to start supplementing again, even though I take it with coffee. I did bloodwork recently so I’m sure my dr. will let me know how my iron levels are.
    **thoughts for next challenge: daily meditation, journalling, affirmations, body weight exercises

    Thanks, @quiltingjaine , for all your hard work to keep this running, hats off to you!

    So self- sabotage got the better of me, and here I am, nearly 2 stone regained, urgh. My body aches from the extra load and my self esteem is in the pits. I'm not going to let this go on any further, I know exactly how to do it, it's easy really... just log everything, get active and stay accountable.

    ***************************************

    1/13 : 165.0 Well, here goes... just trying to get back into the habit of logging everything this round and being more active x

    1/14 : 163.4 Ok that's a good start. I had salty Chinese food on Wednesday night and had just got back from a flight so I probably had a lot of water weight. Also just finished totm so hormones are a bit wobbly. Didn't manage to get out for a walk yesterday. We're due rain and snow all next week so I really need to make an effort this weekend to get out. Went to the supermarket and stocked up on the type of food that I was eating last time I was successfully losing weight. I like to include things that come in individual packages like cheese portions, salami, crackers and cereal bars, alongside things that are bulky but low in calories like soups and salads. The packets are usually more expensive and lower in nutrients/ higher in salt etc but they help me to not feel deprived as they are tasty and feel a bit naughty and I am able to easily control my portions. Switched to decaf coffee recently and it's been a revelation, I am so much less anxious and am sleeping so well. I have been drinking alcohol heavily for far too long so cutting that out is going to be very hard but logging will help, as will exercise and seeing progress.

    1/15 : 162.2 Back to where I was, many moons ago in round 160, my first round. Hey ho, at least that gives me a fair idea of how long it will take me to get back to where I was when I fell off the rails- about 5 months if I work hard. Yesterday was challenging as I was home alone and bored so trying not to mindlessly graze. I managed to stay within my calorie goal but still no exercise. I need a kick up the bum to get started. I struggle with self-consciousness and social anxiety, so leaving the house just to go for a walk is a battle. Getting to the gym seems impossible right now, but I need to overcome this somehow for my mental and physical health to improve.

    1/16 : 161.8 Gritted my teeth and got out for a 5 mile walk yesterday, which was good but hard work on the hills, I need to build up some muscles. I'll go again today but choose a different, less muddy route. Did some batch cooking, quorn bolognese with chunky veg, which is 190cals per portion with 5g of parmesan on top. Nom nom
