Round 213 (my FIRST!)
February 1, 2023 - February 10, 2023
Female, 5’4”
HW: 300 pounds (September 2020)
2023 SW: 288.9 (Jan 9, 2023)
Round goals: 64 oz. water and track EVERYTHING
I just saw this today, so I'll go ahead and catch up yesterday's log.
Day/Weight/Comment
2/1: 278.5 - Happy to see the 270s again. Definitely has me motivated to keep going. Struggling with cravings.
2/2: 277.4 - I have no clue how I dropped an entire pound since yesterday. I wanted to eat the world yesterday... but I managed to control it. Munched on some pretzels, but I did log them. Genuinely surprised to see this weight today.
2/3: - 277.2 - Still moving the right direction.... happy to see it. I indulged in the work-provided pizza for lunch yesterday. Then had a scoop of ice cream later in the day. MFP says I still had 500 calories to eat (after it calculated my steps), but I was curious what WW would say. 68 points!! That's like 2 days of eating, but really only about 1500 calories. WW might be out here starving people. CRAZY!
2/4: - 276.4 - good day. Stayed within my calories.
2/5: - 278.9 - yikes. I expected this though. Yesterday was date day. We hiked a new trail, had lunch, and saw Avatar in the theater. While I was within my calories, I ate lots of fried foods and buttered popcorn. It’ll come back off. Hopefully quickly. 😅
2/6: - 278.8 - I hoped for a bit more of a drastic change, but it’s fine… as long as I get back down to a loss before this round is over. Ha! Back to work today, so hopefully tomorrow’s weight will reflect better choices.

2/1 208 Yesterday was a tough day. DH has been referred to get a liver transplant. His health is rapidly declining. Any prayers sent our way would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
2/2 207.2 Thanks for all the notes. Yesterday was a very tiring and stressful day. Doing a lot of physical things for DH. Today we are at the hospital, he had 10 L of fluid pulled off. He is felling and breathing a lot better, 22 lbs lost in about 45 minutes.
2/3 207.6 That’s ok. I indulged last night on some salty snacks. DH is feeling and moving better today. Finally was able to get him out to get a haircut this morning. Walked around the Dollar Tree which was next door for a bit of exercise. He’s done for the day but at least it’s something.
2/4 207 Fairly good day.
2/5 207.4
2/6 205.6. Took DH to the emergency room and he was admitted yesterday with an infection. Spontaneous Peritoneal Infection is what they are calling it. Doctor says five days of iv antibiotics and then we will see. It was a long day.

2/01 - 177.6 🧘🏻
Almost made it through with no snack, but…. It’s 7F this morning, so no long walks for me! Stay warm if you’re in the frigid zone!
2/02 - 177.4
I’m surprised, as I overindulged yesterday. Probably catch me tomorrow!
2/03 - 178
Yep, there it is. And it’s ok. This cold weather (14F right now) brings out my inner black bear—I want to eat and sleep! I’ve been doing lots of short training sessions with 12-week-old Booker (he thinks we’re playing) to direct his energy, and I got this cute pic yesterday. I wonder what he’s thinking about!
2/04 - 179
Yikes. But not a surprise or mystery. I baked cookies for DH, ate 4. Ate a (small) bowl of ice cream because I really wanted chocolate. I started out beating myself up this morning, but have decided to give myself a little grace with the very frigid weather. It always makes me crave fat and carbs. The temp is supposed to start rising today and be in the high 30s & 40s tomorrow onward, so I’ll get more exercise, which helps stem the recreational eating. I sometimes think I should just stop obsessing and tracking and simply eat when I’m really hungry. I think about food all the time, because I’m always planning my meals, then thinking, oh, I still have 17 calories available, and then eat 400. Anyone else feel like “dieting” — because however we frame it, that’s what we’re doing when we count calories, carbs, other macros, sugar, whatever — makes you more focused on food and more inclined to use food for emotional support and “something to do”? Or maybe it’s just me. I am a bit of a weirdo. 😁 Anyway, I’m looking forward to better weather and more outdoor time. And to getting rid of these few pounds I’ve re-accumulated so I get lose a few more.
2/05 - 177.8
Ok, that’s better. And the weather is better so I’m off in a bit to take the pup for a nice long sniff walk. Have a great Sunday, everyone!
2/06 - 177.6
It’s a new week, and I’m determined to clean up my act. I had one great, no-snack round and then fell apart again. Ridiculous. So today’s the day, this week’s the week…. Happy Monday, all!

Round 213 Posts
This is my posting format….
Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed.
/ Logged Food; Exercise – yesterday / Comment
Previous posts:2/1: 222.2
/ logged all; no exercise/ Food exceeded budget yesterday, mainly because I picked up my venison salami from the locker yesterday. Had to sample it! 😊 So good, and, it is salty. I have plenty so I need to share it.
In other news I am retired as of January 1, 2023! Still planning to log a few part time hours doing admin things and being an ambassador for the firm.
(Too much information warning) And more other news, I am having a prostate removal surgery a week from today. Getting that “C-word” out of my body! I am not planning on filling you all in with ongoing fine details of the procedure or the recovery. But, I want to mention it here so you can pray that the doctor gets a good night’s sleep the night before. 😊 Thanks.
2/2: 221.8
/all food logged; no exercise/ This could have been better without the mishap last night. Kind of embarrassing to talk about, but…. My food log was really good yesterday until… DW and I went to a meeting and on the way home, there was no choice but to stop and use the restroom somewhere. No choice. We went to a Taco Bell just in time. And, my rule is “don’t just stop and use a business restroom without buying something.” Bean Burrito it was.
Food was still under budget, but burrito was too salty and too late in the evening.
Sorry I made you read this.
2/3: 222.2
/logged it all; none/
Chamber event last night with a taste of something from every restaurant in town.
2/4: 222.2
/all logged; active as a log/ so cold outside.
2/5: 220.4
/all logged; actually went out for a walk. / I am trying to do some analysis this morning, but maybe not enough coffee in me to think clearly. Here it is. I think “sweets” are more my downfall than “savory.” Yes, I can abuse both, but for me one “sweet” begets another. Before I know it I have eaten more than I can accurately log.
No sweets yesterday.
1/31: 220.2
Starting weight at end of last round.

Day/Weight/Comment
2/1: 131.4 - Okay, focused on eating yesterday with good results. Today is a travel day
2/2: DNW - Successful travel day despite our flight being delayed by over an hour. Got a workout in and kept the calories down.
2/3: DNW - Got my exercise in including weights. Ate pretty sensibly all day but had a mini-binge of some caramel peanut M&Ms (who knew those existed). Didn’t go too far into the binge and accounted for all of it on my diary.
2/4: DNW - Good exercise, dinner out with friends at a Mexican restaurant and then back to our hosts house for more wine and snacks. Too many sweets.
2/5: DNW - Great exercise, dinner with extended family - heavy on the carbs and sweets (and wine)
2/6: DNW - Got my exercise in and ate well in the early part of the day. However, party for my MIL saw me consuming a lot of snacky food which really adds up calorie wise. Definitely exceeded my calorie goals for the day significantly

2/06 - 163.2 - Yesterday was a struggle. The pup had the pukes approximately 4-7am. Then I finally got to fall asleep on the couch only for BF's alarm to go off. I'm still exhausted haha! I'm also so sore from all the heavy lifting this weekend that I can't move a single muscle without cringing in soreness pain. I made the decision to forego my workout this morning. Thinking about it, 2 full days of moving a house is like 2 full days of strength training/lifting weights. And I did a workout Thursday and Friday. My body needs a rest day somewhere! I might skip tomorrow's, too. Just do yoga tomorrow and Wednesday (my scheduled rest day) and resume workouts on Thursday/Friday. They're all moved in so no more heavy lifting that I know of on weekends. One thing I will say: I'm proud of myself for logically thinking about it and not just saying "its Monday, I'm tired, no workout" like I would have previously. I hit snooze on my alarm and used that time to really think things through before making the decision and getting up (I almost went ahead and slept in if it wasn't for the pups realizing I was awake and getting a little crazy).

Previous Day's Comments2/01 - I'm happy with that tiny little drop. I cut it really close on calories yesterday and was honestly worried I'd be up again. Today will be another day which staying in calories will bring a challenge. I've already eaten breakfast since dinner was suuuuuper early and I was beginning to feel nauseous. Yoga this morning, just 15 minute easy morning wakeup practice. Will need to really pay attention to my watch's reminders to get up and move. And then move extra today. Not only to keep warm, but to give myself a little wiggle room in calorie department. Will see if BF wants to make chicken noodle or chicken and dumplings tonight for something cozy.
2/02 - Well, if I keep losing 0.1 at a time, I'll barely miss my goal of 161.x but I'll be a pound lighter than last round's end weight which isn't a bad thing nor would I be upset. Big splurge dinner of chicken and dumplings served in homemade bread bowls. I'm super proud of yet another bread-baking related accomplishment (why must it be on my "only eat sometimes" list again? I love baking it). No clue lunch, as usual or dinner except that I'm in charge, eek. The pup woke me up with his coyote-sounding yawn and was doing a peepee dance at 4am so I'm up an hour earlier than my alarm. In a bit I'm going to start my bodyweight workout and, because of the early start, I can have a small break before the cardio sprinter portion, yippee. I'm not sure how I feel other than I AM looking forward to this being over haha
2/03 - I wasn't expecting that woosh at all! I made homemade beef and cabbage pan fried wontons last night. They weren't that great, but I think part of that is because it was ground beef. I had pork, but unfortunately it went bad before I could make it. Plus seasonings were off and not enough. I have leftover filling and wonton wrappers for lunch today. Got my workout in despite not wanting to get up at all. Woke up mid-dream and that always messes with me. Then BigBro's car wouldn't start, my car was frozen over entirely, and so I had to take him to school. Good thing because in spots where water pools, it was all icy. I almost couldn't make it up the hill home because the water pooled at the bottom left water tracks up the hill which froze. Thankfully I had 4WD and some umph to get me far enough up to get in the grass and get traction. Late start to work and to everything else. Setting up my grocery pickup to be about the same time I pick up BigBro from school so I can knock two things out in one trip since today is grocery day anyway.
2/04 - I was rushing for a puppy that really had to go outside ASAP so I skipped weighing. Probably good for my mental state as I indulged in a little wine last night and that never helps the scale in the morning. Today is an alcohol free day, though. Back to help Fam move the remainder of their stuff into the new house and help get things ready for a garage sale tomorrow. Should be plenty of movement today, will just have to be careful of my food choices. Hope you're all having a good weekend. Will try to check in tomorrow as well, time permitting. Also hoping for a weigh in tomorrow to see where I stand so I can adjust and not have a huge weekend gain.

@39flavours I need to get my happy *kitten* out of the chair and do something. I’ve been to the gym once since the pandemic started. People were still supposed be masked. I was the only one who was, other than employees and none of them said anything to the unmasked. I felt unsafe and had only a short workout. I have a bad back and hold 17# great grandson while standing is an issue.3

What a nice surprise for me today. I feel so much better since I've cut out processed food and added sugar. I completely avoid sugar substitutes since they spike insulin the same (or worse) than sugar and my inflammation is better for it. January was a lot of trial and error getting off sugar but I've finally gotten the hang of it. To get me off added sugar I've binged on dates, frozen mango and frozen pineapple. I had more than 20 medjool dates on the 3rd and I was shocked when I looked up the calorie content, but those little guys and their fiber didn't undo any of my progress! And, every night so far I've made french fries in the air fryer with a dip of greek yogurt and sriracha and eaten my fill. After weeks of trying to get off sugar and struggling so much with will power I'm now voluntarily binging less and less on the frozen fruits and dates because they're not addictive! Whole foods for the win!
2/1 133.8 logged 1900 calories, high carbs but from fruits, rice, and potatoes (over 200g of carbs) (31g of fiber)

Hi all! Starting back with these challenges. I’m a Mom of 2, in my 40s, and just diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Trying to make some healthy changes.
OSW: 215.5
R213 SW: 211.8
GW: 165
2/1 – 210.5 – Looks like I shed a lot of water weight yesterday. The new thyroid meds and low-sodium diet have been helping me regulate my water levels. Thyroid patients tend to retain a lot of water. Today is elliptical day for exercise.
2/2 – 210.6 – I thought I would see a large jump back up in weight because that seems to be the trend for me, but not today. I’m just shy of the first 5lb milestone from where I started. Today is yoga day.
2/3 – 211.2 – I had some pizza yesterday. It was within my calories, but higher in sodium, so some water retention seems normal. I’ll try not to do that too often, but the low-sodium diet is important for my health. Friday = Elliptical day!
2/4 – 210.5 – I exercised yesterday even though I didn’t feel like it, and I felt better after. Since it’s Saturday I try to get outside for a 2 mile walk if the weather is nice. Today, the weather is reasonable. Getting outside in the fresh air is a treat during the winter! I was grocery shopping today and I discovered… shopping for low-sodium is HARD ☹
2/5 – 210.0 – Going for another walk outside today even though it will be colder than yesterday. Looking forward to warmer weather. I also got a low-sodium cookbook so I’ll be experimenting with new recipes 😊
2/6 – 209.6 – Yesterday I took our dog for a walk and a trip to the dog park. Nice, relaxed movement as 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.

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.
2/6 129.0 At least I didn’t go up again! Good time at Great Greek. Here’s my favorite picture of 2 of my favorite guys. DH and his namesake Dear Great Grandson, Bruce - called Bru.

Hi, I'm Charissa, ready to go for Round 213/4.
I love these 10 days at a time rounds! Very doable. Better than a week as you tend to follow the same up and downs per week and it doesn't always show your progress. Also being able to refocus after 10 days is great!

2/1 216.6 (-0.0/-0.0) My body seems to have adjusted to the lack of alcohol😞 I did have some wine last night but back on target for today and hopefully the next 10 days. Both Goals met ✔✔
2/2 215.8 (-0.8/-0.8) After a 3 day stall, the scale is moving again and in the right direction! Today's meals are planned and should see another loss in the morning. Both Goals met ✔✔
2/3 215.6 (-0.2/-1.0) Better than 0... Water Goal Met ✔
2/4 216.3 (+0.7/-0.3) Expected but was hoping to not see it...The day was good and I saved my calories for crustless pizza. 2 glasses of wine showed up...I ended up over calories by 300. And now it's the weekend....
2/5 217.8 (+1.5/+1.2) Ooops...The first mistake was not planning dinner for Saturday. At around 4pm, looked around and had nothing prepped for dinner so did a unplanned grocery run....and I was hungry....you know where this is going. All kinds of interesting things ended up in my cart!
2/6 218.2 (+0.4/+1.6) The good news - I enjoyed my weekend. It was a lazy kinda weekend. Sunday was kind of back on track but the damage was already done. And this week kinda has "doomed" written all over it. Tuesday we go out to dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Saturday we go out to finish celebrating my husband's birthday and finally Sunday is superbowl. It will be round 214 by then... One day at a time.

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 at a friend's place. 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.
2/6: 169.5 lb
Achieved my goals for the day.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
