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

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'.

1/23 159.8 A relief to see my weight drop back down after the weekend! I fasted most of the day yesterday, until about 5pm then had a few snacks in the evening. I have to watch out for cravings sneaking back in, also the temptation to have a beer in the evening to relax. Back on diligent logging today after not being able to for the last 3 days. It feels good to be back in control. I must get out for a long walk today.

Up a little bit due to celebratory pizza last night but this will come off. It was a really good reason to celebrate and you can’t miss big milestones in life!

What was your milestone? Congrats either way!

@clprieur I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October of 2022. After surgery some things came about and there was talk of chemo. I had to get a lot of scary tests done but the cancer has not spread and I found out last Thursday I will not need chemo! I am so lucky! I still have to have some other not so fun treatments but overall, things are looking up and I am going to beat this. 💪🏼

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.

1/23 197.4 starting monday off right! NSV: I have been trying to avoid alcohol all month for multiple reasons. I didn't meet my goal of 0 drinks but I have only had 3 drinks all month, one special occasion, one date night, and one girls night. I feel pretty good about this and I know it's helping my weight loss goals too! One week left and nothing planned so should be fine. I hope to do the same next month (only social occasions, minimum alcohol consumption.)

01/22 -197.4- (Trend weight 197.8)
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 -198.2- (Trend weight 197.8) My homemade soup eaten two days in a row really hurt the bottom line. I actually find that quite surprising. Today, the rest goes in the freezer in smaller portions for some other time when I need a quick dinner. Smaller portions are in order perhaps? I travel this week on Mon, Tue, Wed and Fri of this week. That affects my ability to take my water pill so that is not going to help either. It’s going to be a tough week but I got this! Staying positive…..

Excited for another round. Thanks @quiltingjaine! I put the dates in a note and forgot to actually join up. Weekends really get me messed up! Nervous about this round since I have a business trip next week.

Yikes, losing the battle with this slow backslide. I’m not overeating hugely but we’re in the midst of a very icey winter so no outside activity.

1/23176.3 I know I have some water weight so should be able to get it down the first week.
Thought it started today. Boy I wish I would’ve started yesterday ate way way too much. This feels good to join. If the weather would cooperate would be easier. Got on scale today and it scared me had not been this heavy in a while.

74 years-old great-grandmother (5'2")
ON 8/29/2022: I was 134 LBS and had a 33” natural waist

MAINTENANCE 115-118 LBS (still trying to decide what I want my range to be).
Lessons for maintenance: 1) exercise at least 30 minutes five {5} days a week 2) try to walk no less than 10,000 steps a day 3) If/when my weight creeps up (118-119 LBS) increase the incline on the treadmill and add a burst of running to routine 4) eat a low-calorie salad before eating dinner 5) limit fried & breaded foods 6) continue to add ice cubes to my 5 oz glass of wine 7) eat fish for dinner at least 2 times a week 8) eight to nine hours of sleep a day 9) Of the 60oz of water daily-drink 8oz of water a half hour before each meal 10) three (3) meals a day and 1-2 small snacks, nothing after dinner.

Round 211- loss -1.1 LBS
01/21-116.5

Round 212: RSW: 117.2 waist: 28” (goal 27 ½’)

01/22- 117.2
01/23- 116.3 -as I bounce between 116-117. I am still debating with myself what is a good weight for me and how should I determine that. Is it my Normal BMI range? Or is it my “waist to hip ratio”? Or what my scale reads? Is it how my clothes fit? Or how I physically feel? Or is it what I see when I look in the mirror-”Body image”? Sadly I have always had a distorted body image and no matter how skinny I get I see bulges. This is still a work in progress and I am still unclear where I want to end up.

@joans1976 -That is wonderful news!🌸
