    I have "tracking burn-out". I think it's because I've been doing this for months and months and not seeing the weight go/stay significantly down. Anybody have advice? I think I'm going to take a break from tracking my food for a couple weeks.

    Tracking burnout is one of my biggest issues with long term maintenance. I know if I don't track my weight will increase - guaranteed - but tracking forever so I can actually maintain (when I get there)??? That seems too daunting. Maybe if you create a few "standard days" of meals that you know are within budget, and eat those for a few days/week until you feel like tracking again??

    @NuggetBrain congratulations on the 50 pound loss. Great work! I hoped you treated yourself somehow. B)

    SW: 143.8# (end of round 212)
    Round GW: 143.0#

    2/1 142.8# not sure how this drop happened but I’ll take it
    2/2 143.2# not bad not bad; no exercise at all yesterday and we going into a deep freeze for a few days.
    2/3 142.8# weights yesterday. Plan to walk in the mall due to below 0 temps today. Not as good as walking outside but I’m getting cabin fever.
    2/4 143.2# Below freezing temps again today, so it’s another lifting day. The house is pretty cool downstairs so I am hibernating upstairs with books and sewing.
    2/5 143.4# Freezing again so I walked at the casino with my sister yesterday since it’s big and pretty open. It was packed and I’m not someone who likes parting with my money that way. We got a couple of miles in at least.

    Jaine here-
    Hmm, this is food for thought. During the pandemic our local DD&DSIL did our grocery shopping so no impulse purchases. I had to have a plan for eating because we didn’t go out to eat 3 or 4 times a week which we have slipped into. The places we go have keto friendly choices and hamburgers (no bun) are one of my favorites. Yes, I must make a plan. And I should get back to the gym!

    @jspecies11 I’m in agreement about not throwing money away in a slot machine. DH took blind friend to the casino a week ago and friend won $3400! He almost always comes out ahead! DH? Not so much. At least he is one of those who think the machine will hit on the next pull!

    I prefer to walk in Walmart which isn’t smoky.

    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.

    2/1 127.5 Sorry for the late post! Our internet went out yesterday evening. Love checking and being told there is no problem and waking up 10 hours later to “we have a service interruption.” Should be fixed by 10am. That will be at least 12 hours without service. We have become so dependent on technology that it is scary. Reading a real book now. It seems it was actually our wi-go modem that died but we got a new one and it is finally operational. YAY!!
    2/2 127.0 Started the day with my BPC and that brought on TMI. YAY! I hope this old pattern sticks around!
    2/3 127.0 Took blind friend to the casino last night. Had dinner (OMAD) at 5 - ate cheeseburger, no bun, 1 house made potato chip and 1 small potato wedge.
    2/4 128.0 60th anniversary celebration at neighbors’ last evening. Champagne, hors d’oeuvres, cup cake 🤦‍♀️ Not anywhere near my usual 90 oz of water. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ My sewing friends are going to be here this afternoon and we will imbibe a bit - plenty of healthy snacks too!
    2/5 129.0 I think that is Friday evening debauchery showing up. Today Great Greek with family. Oldest GS came up from Phoenix. Yesterday with the ladies - meat and cheese, veggies and ranch, two kinds of me made keto crackers, and fresh chicharrones. Those green chili margaritas!?! They were good!

    SW: 218.4
    GW for round: 215ish? 214ish if possible?

    2/1: 218.4 - had food with quite a bit of sodium today despite being in a calorie deficit so hopefully the scale doesn't go up tomorrow morning, but even if it does I am determined to do well this round!
    2/2: 217.2 - i'm glad this went down, even though I had a bunch of cheezits and salty soup last night haha. I am going to keep drinking lots of water today and I know I am eating out for lunch so I will try to make healthy choices.
    2/3: 218.4 - not sure why this shot up, upwards fluctuations are always a bit annoying
    2/4: 218.0 - in the right direction. going to try to make this go down again tomorrow. I've been doing core workouts for the past couple of days and it feels good to actually do something I always 'think' about doing but tended nto to actually do.
    2/5: 217.6 - my adjusted goal this round is to stop oscillating between 217 and 218 and see about 215?

    HSW: 211.6 lb (Aug 2021)
    SW: 191.1 lb (Oct 2022)

    Round 208 EW: 175.5 lb (-0.5)
    Round 210 EW: 173.7 lb (-1.8)
    Round 211 EW: 173.2 lb (-0.5)
    Round 212 EW: 172.0 lb (-1.2)

    Round 213 SW: 172.0 lb

    My goals are to not eat my children's left overs and to give myself smaller portions for dinner.

    2/1: 171.3 lb
    Achieved my goals for the day.

    2/2: 170.4 lb
    Not sure why the sudden bigger drops in weight. It is unusual for me but I have just finished TOM. I expect my weight will level or it bounce up in the next few days. I have discovered dried apricots are relatively low calorie and I am enjoying having a few with my cup of tea. I always feel I need something with my tea so the apricots work well.

    2/3: 170.0 lb
    I was very inactive but stuck to my calorie budget.

    2/4: 170.0 lb
    It was pizza night again but I stuck to my calorie budget. I really need to exercise. Tantalizing-ly close to the 160s but I suspect my scales will play with me for a while before letting me get there!

    2/5: 169.3 lb
    A bit of a surprise. Ate lots of fruit and banana bread. Skipped dinner though because I was so full. I did estimate my calories and I was on budget so it's probably just the missing weight of dinner in my system.
