01/23 -198.2- (Trend weight 197.8)

01/24 -197.8- (Trend weight 197.8) An improved diet yesterday over the soup, but it honestly could have been even better. However, I logged every BLT staying faithful to the overall process. I bought mixed nuts (with no cheap peanuts mixed in) for healthy fat/hunger control. I portioned them out in snack-sized bags to take when traveling or for home snacking but it’s a LOT of calories for such a small measured portion. Too tempting to eat more than one baggie. I don’t think I’ll buy them again as they became a “diet” food I cheated with last night. I’ll stick to the almonds that I count before I eat. They are not nearly as tempting and are more effective overall in my opinion. Family doctor today for what is usually my worst A1C glucose test of the year (after the holidays!) This appointment was required before she would give me my referral and pre-authorization to see the dietician for my diabetes. She knows how bad my glucose levels are, but I guess everyone wants to share in the dollar.

01/25 -197.6- (Trend weight 197.8) My A1C was 10 point something at the drs yesterday. After I heard the number 10 I just couldn’t hear anything else for a few moments. I knew it would be worse after the holidays and all! I’ve got a lot of work to do. I got my old treadmill back last night from the folks who bought my house 2 years ago. They saw me looking for one on facebook and even brought it to me. My cardiac rehab therapists are going to be very happy.

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

[a “Not Your Daughters Jeans” size 0 is Not Your “Mothers” Jeans. I suspect that the new “US size 0” is what a “size 2” was 20 years ago and what a size 4 or 6 was in the 1970's-oh well a size 0 is a temporary feel good moment]

1/23 137.2 Been eating cheesecake a lot so today I start clean.
1/24 133.8 Fasted all day yesterday. Today will be very clean and careful not to spike insulin.
1/25 131.8 I kept to my plan! I am pleased and determined to keep it up. I fasted all day Monday, and until about dinnertime. Roughly 48 hour fast. I broke it with oatmeal, nuts, fruits, seeds, and kefir. I consumed 1600 calories in 2 hours but it was all healthy calories, tons of fiber, low GI foods, prebiotics and probiotics. This month I'm trying to make my gut healthy again. I think this huge loss in only a matter of days is a sign that my gut is much healthier than previously and responding well to the kefir and chia seeds, and I woke up in a good mood, so that is a good sign. I'll try it again this time break my fast with lots of vegetables. Maybe a stir fry or vegetarian curry?

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.

Oops.

1/24 - 177.4
Ah, well, a couple of nights of relapsing snackwise will do that. DH bought a Marie Callender chocolate pie to try, and I didn’t realize how crazy many calories were in a serving until later. Yikes! Trying to straighten myself out today.

1/25 - 177.2
Better, not perfect, last night. We’re getting all-day snow, so I’m off to shovel what’s there now. Exercise!

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

I need to get back to a fasting schedule.

1/22 126.5 Fasted until 4:30 or 5. Got an Unwich at Jimmy John’s (#7) and could only eat half! I did have a glass of red wine and dumped the remaining 1/2 bottle down the drain!

1/24 127.0 As anticipated. Golden Corral for the first time in months. Not as good as I remembered it. 🤷‍♀️ Stayed to 25g TC limit but too much salt and not enough water and drank coffee later than usual so couldn’t get to sleep.
1/25 127.0 No TMI for a couple of days UGH Got my new Garmin and set it up yesterday afternoon. YAY! Calories, protein and fat all under; carbs over by 6 - all came from assorted low vegetables.

1/23: 121.6 - waiting for TOM to get here any minute. Have a dog walk and a treadmill run planned today. It’s chilly out there so not particularly excited about the dog walk 🥶 Happy Monday everyone!

1/24: 120.8 - still waiting for TOM. Was an utter insomniac last night but I'm trying not to focus on the lack of sleep (mind over matter?). Today I have plans for a dog walk and a Peloton ride, and chicken adobo with baby bok choy for dinner. Tonight I'm taking my dogs for a training consult with a company that uses e-collars for correction. I feel hesitant about it but also my dogs are so hard to walk and I'm tired of it. I want to improve our relationship since we're in this for the long haul.

1/25: 120.8 again. I'm fine with maintaining here for a while TBH. I have a feeling I'll have a whoosh loss if TOM ever gets here. Today I have plans for a 45-minute endurance run on the treadmill. It is really rainy outside so I doubt my poor pooches will get a walk. I don't think they love the rain much more than I do!

@musicsax I hope you start to feel better. It sounds like you need a lot of rest.

Maybe I will weigh in tomorrow. I'm afraid that if I weigh in my mind will spiral and I will lose my streak and I will over eat/binge on food to cope. So..... ?? Any recommendations...maybe I shouldn't weigh until I feel like I can handle the information in a wise manner.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/22 Ate *kitten*. DIdn't weigh in. Probably better for my mindset.
1/23 Starting a 3 day cleanse. Probably will make it a 5 days cleanse. I really want results now.

1/24 *refuse to check the scale*. I did great yesterday with tracking and stayin on plan and under calorie target. It felt freaking amazing ladies. I felt so proud of myself! And I was able to go to sleep without beating myself up over the food choices I had made. And I didn't go to bed so full I couldn't sleep. Those are just a few of the things I've been dealing with in my mind that have been holding me back. Now, to make that one PROUD day, a string of days - and to string them together and keep going.

1/25 *DNW* Yesterday went very well. Ate under my calorie target and did not eat back any exercise calories. Instead of going on a walk last night at 5pm, I decided to clean my entire bedroom. The closet, under the bed and rearrange it all. Man, it felt SOOO good! My room looks amazing. I also polished my kitchen appliances (stainless steel) and put away stuff. The kitchen looks so happy and peaceful now. Just like my food! Started out today again with a shake and berries....Now I'm ready for some warm coffee. Stringing along another day to add to my success.

1/22: 131.3 - I’m surprised it is not higher since I’ve had two late night binges in a row. I think the only saving grace calorie-wise is that on both days I ended up eating only one meal. Today I’ll go back to a more normal meal schedule.
1/23: 131 - My daughter stopped by on her way home (we’re about half-way on her 7+ hour drive) and took a bunch of the goodies that I had made for our dinner party with her.
1/24: 132.9 - Binged last night
1/25: 131.8 - Did better yesterday. I think it helped that all my meals were very vegetable-forward (less carbs)

fmfdfa2020 · January 2023

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!!

01/23 - 177.2 (weighed later than my normal time) - Second day on track. Need to up the amount of water I'm drinking - only drank a little over 40oz each of the last 2 days. I rode the stationary bike yesterday for a whole 10 mins, but you have to start somewhere. I haven't exercised since my surgery in June. My exercise today is snow shoveling. I shoveled once already and another round is coming in this afternoon. We have a 600ft driveway (no, not shoveling it LOL). We have a plow but there are all the side doors, sidewalk, getting out to my workshop, etc. I could use the snow blower but sometime it's easier just to grab a shovel and it burns lots of calories!

01/24 - 178.5 - Perfectly normal to fluctuate but too many carbs/salt doesn't help. I did not have any sugar or white flour yesterday, which is great. I am very happy about that! However, I'm trying to make up for the lack of these with too many other carbs. For some reason the carb I've chosen to eat too much of is grits. I haven't really eaten grits that often since I was a kid growing up in Georgia. I know it's just my body craving the white flour and sugar. I also have been adding too much salt. Recognizing I'm doing this is the first step, now I'll adjust. More snow shoveling today. Yay!

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

@enlightenme3 yes - the more veggie forward, the easier you'll probably find weight loss and, I've noticed that the more veggie forward, the less cravings.

@fmfdfa2020 Yay on the no's !! NSF (No Sugar, No Flour)
