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

1/22 161.4 I'm not at all surprised at my gain today. Yesterday didn't go at all to plan, we ended up eating out for lunch and dinner. I had a small chicken burrito bowl for lunch which was OK but they put too much creamy sauce on it. Then we went to an Indian restaurant for dinner, which is always so hard to find healthy choices. I went for a chicken shaslik (grilled chicken with veggies) and a small rice which I shared with my niece. I did have a couple of beers though and far too many poppadoms. It was a great day, we went bowling and to the arcade, I baked fairy cakes with my niece and played with her loads. I'm so besotted with both her and my tiny baby nephew! He's only a month old and is totally scrumptious!.... Is 42 too old to be trying for a baby? Arghh broody!
I have one child, my daughter is 19 and just about to fly the nest... My husband (37) has none and I fear he'll want them one day...
Will try to fast for most of the day and get a good walk in if there's time. My SIL is recovering from her C section so walking any distance is not possible for her. We'll have to see what time they go home and if there's any daylight left.
Using yesterday's weight (160.8) as my guide to set my goal for this week as today's weight isn't accurate, there's a lot of food still 'in transit'.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 212 (my 144th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.

Goal for this round; aimimg to lose a pound and a half. 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. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/22 137.8 – good start to the round, hope it's not just because I had a lie in after a late night and therefore weighed in late – the scale initially showed yesterday's weight 138.2 & then dropped down to 137.8 – I'll take it !! I'll stay strong today to try to retain this number.

Hello, I’m Amanda. I did great with these 10 day challenges in the summer and the fall but some things have changed health wise and I’m finding it harder to lose the weight. Here’s hoping for a more positive outcome this time around.

1/22 143.6 Trying to stick to a 'somewhat' intermittent fasting schedule. Eating the majority of my food before 2pm really seems to work well for me. I've been trying to get my husband on board with this too, but he's having a hard time mentally letting go of the dinnertime meal.

Day/Weight/Comment

1/22 – 147.2 So round 210 was on target, 211 started great, then distractions came in again. I have to figure out how to not swing extremes. This morning was more up from yesterday, but DH and I went out to eat last night and I made choices without regard to calories (cocktail, pad thai, and half a huge dessert). But I am back here today. Round 212. Thoughtful breakfast choices and will plan out my day as I will be “out” for most of the day and will need to face one meal out of the house.

Day, Weight, Comment
1/22 - DNW - Headed out of town in a bit and there's a chance we won't come back until tomorrow (bringing work things to work on the road as a precaution) which also means no weigh in until Tuesday at the earliest. I wanted to let you all know I'm still alive. BF's dad and brother weren't so bad, though they all got a little silly Friday night and I went to bed with some loud sleepy music to drown out the loud talking/laughing. They left yesterday around noon and I spent the day putting my house/routine back in order. Pups are getting along now, for 3 mornings now they've taken to play fighting for hours as soon as I let them out after waking up. It's been an hour now and I can still hear them going at it. I'm glad, though. Harley still isn't sure about bed and couch sharing, but she's getting better. I'm working to get back into routine myself, but travel will postpone a little bit of that. For the most part, I stuck to my habits, though.

I was part of this challenge a while back, and was glad to see it's still around (thank you @quiltingjaine!

) In June, I was diagnosed with a serious medical illness. I had surgery with great results! I stress-ate like there was no tomorrow, and didn't exercise at all. I'm back to just 6 pounds from my heaviest. I'm having a hard time getting back to my healthy ways. This forum helped me before so I'm back, not just for the accountability but because how kind and supportive everyone is to each other.

Goal this round:
Do NOT eat sugar or white flour. These are my downfall. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Start back rowing/walking/weights. Eat healthy. Drink 80oz water each day.

01/21 - Start Weight: 180.2

Round 212
01/22 - 177.9 - As I've gained weight this time, I've gotten closer and closer to the 180's and hitting 180 yesterday, I hope, jerked me awake. My plan was never to see that number again (and for that matter, I never "planned" to see any of the numbers I've seen, who does, right?

) . Anyway, yesterday was a really good day, finally! I did as I have done every day, which is eat healthy and keep my calories in check for the entire day, but all other days, I've ended up bingeing in the evening. Yesterday, I did NOT. Yay! Getting thru a day where I was in control and not my sugar-craving self was wonderful! Happy Sunday everyone, and for those who watch - football!!

1/22 168.2 Up a bit since yesterday. Last round I just let loose. Lot's of good things that shook up my routines and I gave in and let it get away from me. Surprisingly I ended the round down in pounds. I'll be happy with one pound down every 10 days. I am not in any rush to reach my goal weight--but I want to change my habits so that it doesn't creep back up.

Good. I’m headed back down despite the sample oatmeal-coconut-raisin cookie from the batch I baked for DH. I just shoveled the driveway and sidewalks so I’m feeling warm and energized! I hope it sticks for a few hours. Still wrestling with puppy-induced sleep deprivation, although he did nap a long time yesterday afternoon because one of my training buddies brought her 15-week-old Flat-coated Retriever puppy over to play. My Booker is 10.5 weeks. Boy, did they have fun wrestling and running and getting wet and dirty. We had fun watching, and then cleaning them up! Some of you said “more pics,” so here they are in a less frenzied moment, my Booker on the left and Chaos on the right. Cutie boys.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/21 …..196.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

01/22 -197.4- (Trend weight 197.8) An uptick from yesterday. I stayed within calorie limits but carbs were too high. I made homemade chicken noodle soup so I know the noodles affected the scale. To offset I had a practically zero carb breakfast and no lunch to make up for the dinner. The snacks though were on the carby side too. No binges, no loss of control. Just a conscience choice to have soup for dinner. I am still feeling good and strong. Today’s menu will be similar to yesterday’s but I have already frozen two large portions (using it up) and had DD, SIL and DGS for dinner yesterday and they will eat on it again today so it should be gone soon. A nice treat. I don’t know if there is an egg noodle style noodle out there to substitute for next time. Last I looked (chickpea, zucchini, cauliflower etc.) was much much higher in carbs than I would have expected and would not have made much of an impact on overall carbs for the day.

New Round, New chances for us to reach our dreams, my friends. My goal remains to weigh less than I ended the round before. That’s it. Let’s go! We got this!

01/23 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

SW: 146.4 / Gained 1.2 pounds last round

So I gained 1.2 pounds last round, almost negating the 2 pounds I lost the round before. This round will be interesting because I will not be able to do any aerobic workouts due to the foot surgery (ugh!). In the meantime I'm doing workouts from the floor and some pull-ups, which is not the same of course, but better than nothing, right?!?

@staceymcmd My DH wasn’t really on board when I decided we were eating dinner earlier (between 3 and 4PM) but he has adjusted - except the days he plays cards. Those are closer to 4:30.And he snacks A LOT in the evenings.

@deepwoodslady My daughter and I tried making some Keto noodles that totally fell apart when we dropped them in the bubbling broth. LOL Here is a website with lots of information if you’re interested in making your own.

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

@Machias1949 Congrats on reaching maintenance and thanks for posting your "Lessons for Maintenance"! I think these are also tips for losing weight, most of which I'm going to try to follow (except for the ice in the wine lol).
