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

2/11 127.5 No TMI x 2 Not sure why I’ve started waking up between 4-4:30AM but I’m not fond of it! Finally TMI after my BPC.
2/12 127.5 Yesterday was a busy afternoon. I handed off my guild volunteer job. I introduced the program and have been handling it for 10 years.
2/13 128.0 Great Greek yesterday, I ate 1/2 of the pita 🤦‍♀️wheat? gluten? carbs? OYYY!!
2/14 ❤️128.0 ❤️Happy Valentine’s Day❤️I started a fast a 1:30 yesterday afternoon, after I ate my Great Greek leftovers. Not sure how long I’ll go. Black coffee and water only. I have to say I am feeling quite proud of myself for making brownies last night and not even licking the rubber scraper. DH was taking them to the PT people this morning. My supplements are not sitting well on my empty stomach.
2/15 126.0. Made it through 2 periods of growling stomach with only water, coffee, and a can of Coke Zero.
2/16 125.0 My fast was over 48 hours followed by OMAD. I’m planning to fast today until late morning, at least 18 hours.
2/17 124.5 Feeling good. Have my fasting clock set for 25 hours which ends at 3:30. DH has been super supportive and making his own meals (simple wraps.) He’s taking our blind friend to lunch today.
2/18 125.0 It’s my b-day. 🎂
2/19 126.5 Went to dinner last night at Great Greek. Tried spanakopita for the first time, shared with DD #2, the sweet manager brought 2 plates to the table (to share)with small portions Baklava ice cream, Baclava, and rice pudding. DD and I also shared a bottle of Chardonnay. Back on track today! 4 hours 20 minutes of sleep ALCOHOL!!!!

@deepwoodslady I want to hit that dietitian in the head with a 2x4! 250g of carb = 1000 calories!

MommaGemz · February 2023

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
R213 EW: 210.3
GW: 165

2/11 – 209.6 – It’s a Saturday and the weather is nice, so I headed out work a nice long walk!
2/12 – 210.2 – My weight continues to bounce up and down. It gets somewhat discouraging, but thankfully my “trend weight” continues to move downward. I have to remember that my roller coaster ride is a marathon – a slow journey. I’ll get there. Another walk outside today – tomorrow the forecast is snow.
2/13 – 210.3 – Given that we had a Superbowl spread out last night and I nibbled on it a bit – this doesn’t seem bad. I avoided all the higher sodium items and tried to stay within calories. One trick is to serve items I don’t really care for – like chicken wings, so it’s easy to stay away from them.
2/14 – 209.9 – Happy Valentine’s Y’all! I hope you have a wonderful day. My Valentine’s gift to myself today is yoga.
2/15 – 209.0 – Here’s the little whoosh downward I was waiting for. Yay!
2/16 – 208.4 – The whoosh continues. If my usual trend continues, I’ll bounce back up a little and hover there for awhile until another whoosh down. Also, TOM is imminent, so that may have something to with it.
2/17 – 208.1 – Yesterday I was low energy so I declared it a rest day with no exercise. I feel better today and ready get on the elliptical today. I have some long walks planned this weekend that I’m really looking forward to – TGIF!!
2/18 – 207.8 – Took the whole family to the local park and I walked 3 miles while they played!
2/19 – 207.7 – It’s Sunday and much colder weather is arriving in a few days so I’ll go outside for another walk today.
2/20 – 208.5 – I jumped up a bit but that’s to be expected with my normal weight loss trends. Although I did eat a few higher sodium food yesterday and last night’s sleep was poor – I feel weird today. Well, I’ll drink lots of water and try to recuperate today.

Round 214 Loss = 1.8lbs

Sherbog · February 2023

Oh my I am disappointed...last night before going to bed I weighed 188.0. figured when I woke up it would be 187 point something. I always loose weight between going to bed and getting up.

However...a four pound loss on a ten day challenge is super good for me.

Xiao_Ya_ · February 2023

It's my first time with this challenge, but I like the shorter duration; it seems mentally easier to keep track of. I gained 8 pounds over the holiday season (ended up about 103.5 lbs), but I'm trying to take daily walks and do a quick workout every day. I've been able to keep my self-control much better over the past week, so I'm happy with that start.

2/20 100.5 I actually finished lower than starting. Yay! I think it helped that I got out of the house to go dirtbiking for a few hours so I was well away from the snacks and got some movement in addition to my usual workout.

🫀🫀Heart healthy month🫀🫀

I took a few weeks off for travel and laziness. Then a week ago I badly sprained my ankle. My scale is currently going in the wrong direction, so it’s time for me to turn things around!

64 years old, female and ready to creep downward again!
SW 145

2/11…. 145.5. NO! Wrong direction. I can’t wait for this silly ankle to heal!!!!
2/12…. 146. Grrr!
2/13…. 145.1. That’s more like it!
2/14…. 143.4 happy 💃 on this ❤️ day!

2/17…. 144.0
2/18…. 145.0 😡
2/19…. 145.0
2/20…. 144.5 Not exactly what I was wishing for, but at least I went in the right direction. Still taking it easy on the ankle, so way too much sitting this go around. Next round I will be able to slowly start to ramp back up on movement.

Round 212 EW: 172.0 lbs (-1.2)
Round 213 EW: 167.6 lbs (-4.4)

Round 214 EW: 167.1 lbs (-0.5)

My goals for this round will be the same as the last round: to not eat my children's leftovers and to eat smaller portions for dinner. I am also very sedentary so I will aim to get my heart rate above 100 bps for at least 22 minutes each day.

2/11: 167.6 lbs
Achieved my goals for the day.

2/12: 168.7 lbs
Injured my hip so I don't think I will be able to achieve my goal this round of getting my heart rate above 100 for at least 22 minutes per day. Otherwise I achieved my other goals for the day.

2/13: 169.3 lbs
Had too many papadums at dinner. No exercise either because of my sore hip. I think realistically, because of the big drop last round, I might end up 2 or so pounds with this round. I need to mentally prepare for this so I don't give up. Time to look at my inspiration slide show (which is just a collection of photos and quotes) to help keep me on track.

2/14: 168.7 lbs
Still haven't exercised. Ate within calorie budget though.

2/15: 168.2 lbs
Achieved goals except for exercise. Hip still sore. I hope I can still lose weight while not exercising. We shall see.

2/16: 168.7 lbs
Went for a very short walk to test my hip. The muscles cramped around my hip. After a rest though, my hip is not hurting. I might try and do a short session on the elliptical today and see how that goes.

2/17: 167.6 lbs
Did another short walk and the muscles around my hip ended up tender this time so didn't go on the elliptical. I think my injury has almost healed though. I have also been super strict with counting calories while I have been unable to exercise and I have been staying within my calorie limit consistently. My fitness watch tells me I am burning around 1700 calories per day which is down from 2000 when I do exercise. So I should ask be still able to lose around 1 pound per week even when not exercising if I stick to 1200.

2/18: 167.8 lbs
My hip was feeling good so I thought I would take it for a spin. Did 7.5K steps yesterday and 10 minutes on the elliptical. My hip held up quite well. I think I can now exercise normally again. Yay!

2/19: 167.8 lbs
Finally achieved all my goals for the day.

2/20: 167.1 lbs
Achieved my goals for the day. I am glad to have posted a small loss even though I was unable to exercise for most of the round.

Hi, I'm Charissa, ready to go for Round 214/5.
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! And boy do I need to refocus this round

Had a tough round 213 with lots of celebrations and dinners out. This round starts with a birthday party, yet another dinner and then Superbowl. Monday - no reason to not be back on track!

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

My Weight Chart:

threewins · February 2023

I am about 10 kg along the way to lose 32 kg. I use multiple tape measurements (cm) around my body because they aren't affected by salt intake. Apparently I've been trying to lose weight since September 2012, the last time I was at goal weight. Let's see if stopping eating sugary food is going to change things.

Heaviest ever 1st Jan 2021, goal+31.8 kg

Round 208 814.0 cm
Round 209 807.5
Round 210 802.5
Round 211 800.0
Round 212 797.5
Round 213 795.0

Here are my measurements, bolded means a 0.5 cm drop from the previous drop

100.0 91.0 101.0 57.0 47.5 57.0 48.0 101.0 93.0 102.0 11th
101.0 91.5 103.0 57.0 48.5 56.5 47.0 101.0 90.5 101.5 12th
101.0 91.0 102.0 57.0 46.5 57.0 46.5 100.5 93.0 101.5 13th
100.0 92.0 101.5 57.0 47.0 57.0 46.5 102.5 91.5 103.5 15th
101.0 92.0 100.5 56.5 47.5 56.0 47.0 101.5 92.5 102.0 16th

Total is 791 cm, a loss from the previous round

How this round went: another loss, that's 6 consecutive losses. It's gone alright, no major problems.

I respect that you are going to do what your dietician is suggesting even though it does sound counterintuitive to you.

You mentioned food aversions, that sound like this is going to be really hard.

I’ve been thinking about some high carb healthy foods that maybe you like.

Oatmeal
Baked Potatoes
Rice
Pasta

Lol, basically the foods most of us limit.

@Skyleen75 Thanks for the ideas. For "normal" diabetics the potatoes, rice and pasta are very limited to no-no because it enters the bloodstream too fast. Oatmeal is a great idea though I don't know much about how it works in the bloodstream. But I agree that you are right. It is better to stick to a baked potato than pizza! (I use pizza for an example. I don't actually eat pizza very often, I have a thing in my head that the dough will be raw!). For me, any veggie is a good thing, even one on the high glycemic index. Definitely better than ice cream!

I have worked my *kitten* off today trying to pre-log foods up to 158g of carbs without going over the 1400 calories and I just can't reach it no matter what I try (that is in my house and that I can eat.) I am close at about 136. I used a 100% whole wheat muffin to help my breakfast goal (she wanted me at 70 or more carbs per meal x 3 meals). I used Tomato Basil soup from Schwan's and some croutons to help my lunch, I am using a 100% whole wheat pita with homemade shish-kebobs (with some roasted peppers, mushrooms & onions, to help with my dinner goal. I made some chia pudding for a snack. I also had some applesauce (I can't eat apples). I also had yogurt which gave me 17 carbs. This is a lot of work!
I appreciate any and all suggestions from everyone. Rice and Pasta are definitely something I will add in as I can put something with higher fat or fiber with it to slow it's entering the bloodstream. Great ideas!

Hi @deepwoodslady I may have missed some conversations, but do you eat beans - garbanzo, pinto, black, kidney, etc., they could add some complex carbs. For my hypoglycemia, I eat a combination of complex carbs and additional protein from meat. You could add them to brown rice. Also, do you eat sweet potatoes - maybe a small one. I'm sure you've already thought of beans as a good source, or some people's digestive system can't handle them very well.

@fmfdfa2020 I don't care for beans but I will eat them in chili as it all kind of tastes like the spicy broth. I do like refried beans (got used to them from mexican food). Now that I think about it, bean burritos may be a good idea on a whole wheat tortilla! I have learned to love sweet potatoes but I have to watch what I put on them (carbs AND calories.) I usually bake them. Yum! It is definitely a healthier choice than some of the processed junk out there.

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.

2/12 127.5 Yesterday was a busy afternoon. I handed off my guild volunteer job. I introduced the program and have been handling it for 10 years.
2/13 128.0 Great Greek yesterday, I ate 1/2 of the pita 🤦‍♀️wheat? gluten? carbs? OYYY!!
2/14 ❤️128.0 ❤️Happy Valentine’s Day❤️I started a fast a 1:30 yesterday afternoon, after I ate my Great Greek leftovers. Not sure how long I’ll go. Black coffee and water only. I have to say I am feeling quite proud of myself for making brownies last night and not even licking the rubber scraper. DH was taking them to the PT people this morning. My supplements are not sitting well on my empty stomach.
2/15 126.0. Made it through 2 periods of growling stomach with only water, coffee, and a can of Coke Zero.
2/16 125.0 My fast was over 48 hours followed by OMAD. I’m planning to fast today until late morning, at least 18 hours.
2/17 124.5 Feeling good. Have my fasting clock set for 25 hours which ends at 3:30. DH has been super supportive and making his own meals (simple wraps.) He’s taking our blind friend to lunch today.

2/19 126.5 Went to dinner last night at Great Greek. Tried spanakopita for the first time, shared with DD #2, the sweet manager brought 2 plates to the table (to share)with small portions Baklava ice cream, Baclava, and rice pudding. DD and I also shared a bottle of Chardonnay. Back on track today! 4 hours 20 minutes of sleep ALCOHOL!!!!
2/20 126.0

@deepwoodslady I want to hit that dietitian in the head with a 2x4! 250g of carb = 1000 calories!

@quiltingjaine Agreed! I had the unpleasant task of informing my therapists in cardiac rehab today that I'm not going to follow the dietician's diet recommendations. They are the one's who referred me. They were not happy. I tried to explain to them that blood sugars are not something you have to wait around for so there is no point in going any further with her recommendations. If the glucose shoots up, you are eating wrong! End of Story! My weight is not an indication because any loss if because of the 1400 calories and the exercise calories burned. NOT FROM EATING MORE CARBS! Anyway, I can't wait to test my glucose in the morning after the good day I've had which has been about 1400 calories and about 90 carbs. I'm going right now to log my food and pre-log tomorrow. Even though it was a travel day today, I was extra careful because I want to see and prove the impact of lower carbs. Everywhere I go they download my glucose readings from my machine. See you next round!

GW 170

I haven't done this challenge in quite a few years, but decided I need to lose this weight before my 60th birthday in
July. Adding this challenge to my routine to help keep the momentum going. There are a few challenges this week with a Super Bowl party and Valentines, so I thought this would give me an extra layer of accountability.

2/11 193.8 I went out last night. Food choices were good but I had 1 skinny marg and 3 vodka sodas
during the night. I plan on walking 6 miles today and no alcohol.

2/12 192.9 Good! Walked 6.5 miles yesterday and intermittent fasted. Superbowl party today, so let'ssee what happens tomorrow. I will walk before I go, not eat until I get there, and stick with
protiens and veggies. 2 vodka soda limit....

2/13 194.0 Super bowl snacks.....

2/14 192.9 Back dowm but I am going to enjoy a nice Valentine's dinner tonight, so we will see what tomorrow brings.

2/15 193.3 Not as bad as I thought it would be! I had an amazing dinner and a few weeks ahead with no social commitments so ready to get into the 80's.

2/16 192.7 Heading in the right direction!

2/17 192.2 Hoping to stay focused over the weekend...

2/18 192.0 I guess a little bit of downward movement is better than nothing!

2/19 191.1 Good!

2/20 191.1

Christine from Burlington, Ontario, Canada 😊
4th Round
Age 53, 5’5”
Heaviest Weight: 345+ lbs (my highest known weight prior to gastric bypass in Aug 2005)
Weight in March 2022: 220 lbs
Weight at beginning of my 1st Round: 157.6 lbs
Weight beginning this Round: 150.2 lbs
Goal Weight: 145

This round's daily goals:
1. Under 1300 cals per day - ☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹
2. Jogging with dog at least once every day - ☹<3☹<3☹☹<3<3
3. 5 mins daily affirmations - ☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹
4. Zero work absences - <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

2/11 – 150.2 lbs - I did my jogging/walking today with the dog which was super fun! I had a great time! I also didn't skip work but today wasn't a work day for me.

However, I neglected to do my affirmations and I didn't stay under 1300 cals as I started to get a really sore stomach before bed and had to eat something to settle my stomach. To start off on a positive note I want to reflect on my successes over the last 3 rounds: Got off the ice-cream sammich habit, started getting closer to my protein and water goals, started taking my iron and supplements regularly, and lost 7.4 lbs. That is pretty frickin amazing. Thanks again, @quiltingjaine! This round I want to focus on getting closer to my goal weight of 145 lbs. I ordered a “running leash” off of Amazon, so I can try jogging with the dog. I have always wanted to run, since I was a kid in the 80s, but I was always too heavy and too afraid of hurting my knees. Now that my weight is lower, I think I can try it, and see how it goes. Bear in mind, my new rescue dog is 72 lbs and very strong, so if he sees a rabbit and I am taken off guard I am going down hard. 😊
2/12 – 149 lbs - Well, I guess I had a premonition about falling on my face (in my notes from yesterday). I ordered a new pair of slip-on shoes off the internet. They were meant specifically for jumping into quickly when I need to take the dog out for a quick pee break. (We live on the 15th floor and sometimes I need to get ready quickly.) I wore them for the first time yesterday, but I found they were too big and were flopping around on my feet. I was out with the dog and all of a sudden SLAM! I tripped somehow (I can’t even blame it on the dog) and I was FLAT on my face. I did real damage to my hands and my right knee, unfortunately. ☹ No jogging for me today. Luckily the dog did not run away when I fell, even though I dropped the leash. And some good Samaritans stopped to help me up. My knee is killing me. AUGH. Edit: I went out and did my jog/walking after all. I can only do a bit anyways, as I am not used to jogging so I have to build up my stamina. It’s pretty fun, though. 😊 And the dog loves it!
2/13 – 150.2 lbs – My knee was too sore to do jogging. I fell again (this time the dog body-checked me into the closet when we were playing). I am getting too old for this. Lol. I was present for work today, even though I was late and having a tonne of anxiety about logging in. So I’m calling it a win. (My attendance has been spectacularly poor lately, due to my mental health.)
2/14 – 149.6 lbs – Am I at maintenance, without knowing it? I can’t seem to eat 1300 cals, which was the plan for this week. I am not sure why I can’t, because when I was in active eating disorder territory I was easily eating less than 1200. I do not feel like my eating disorder is active right now, though, which is a really good thing. (And surprising, to be honest, since my mental health is not great at the moment.) I find I am not being nearly so critical of myself about my eating/exercise, which is fantastic. But it may be because I am too busy being extremely critical about myself regarding my work!! LOL! Oops. I went to work and although I was not the most productive, I tried my best. And that is all I can do.
2/15 – 150.2 lbs – did not do my walk/jog, and was waaaaay over on my calories… all I did was work today, for my full hours. So… can we just all agree that it was a good day?
2/16 – 150.8 lbs – Did my jog/walking this morning and I can see that I am improving! 😊 Also, I have attended work all 4 days thus far this week, which sounds lame and basic but it is a really good sign, for me. Maybe things are on an uptick?
2/17 – 150.6 lbs – Freezing rain this morning, so I am afraid to go do my jog/walking as I have already fallen twice recently and I’m scared to really hurt my right wrist (which I fractured about a year ago in ANOTHER fall). I did work today, but I could barely concentrate at all, unfortunately. ☹
2/18 – 150.4 lbs – OMG, you guys, pizza has a lot of calories in it. That is all. ☹
2/19 – 150.0 lbs – Okay, that pizza from last night will DEFINITELY show up on the scale tomorrow, I am sure of it. I was pretty shocked when I went to log it. I had 3 pieces!! WTH?? Mind you they were small pieces (the pizza was not cut equally) but still. And then I had two mini-Cinnabons. Needless to say, I went WAY over my calorie goal. And, I didn’t do much walking yesterday because it continues to be very cold outside!! Anyway, it appears that either (a) I didn’t make much progress towards my goal weight of 145 lbs this round or (b) I am doing good at maintaining 150 lbs and I should just accept that this is my goal weight, according to my body (comfortable caloric intake and exercise). Depend on how you look at it…
2/20 – 150.2 lbs – Hm, the same as 10 days ago…

I respect that you are going to do what your dietician is suggesting even though it does sound counterintuitive to you.

You mentioned food aversions, that sound like this is going to be really hard.

I’ve been thinking about some high carb healthy foods that maybe you like.

Oatmeal
Baked Potatoes
Rice
Pasta

Lol, basically the foods most of us limit.

@Skyleen75 Thanks for the ideas. For "normal" diabetics the potatoes, rice and pasta are very limited to no-no because it enters the bloodstream too fast. Oatmeal is a great idea though I don't know much about how it works in the bloodstream. But I agree that you are right. It is better to stick to a baked potato than pizza! (I use pizza for an example. I don't actually eat pizza very often, I have a thing in my head that the dough will be raw!). For me, any veggie is a good thing, even one on the high glycemic index. Definitely better than ice cream!

I have worked my *kitten* off today trying to pre-log foods up to 158g of carbs without going over the 1400 calories and I just can't reach it no matter what I try (that is in my house and that I can eat.) I am close at about 136. I used a 100% whole wheat muffin to help my breakfast goal (she wanted me at 70 or more carbs per meal x 3 meals). I used Tomato Basil soup from Schwan's and some croutons to help my lunch, I am using a 100% whole wheat pita with homemade shish-kebobs (with some roasted peppers, mushrooms & onions, to help with my dinner goal. I made some chia pudding for a snack. I also had some applesauce (I can't eat apples). I also had yogurt which gave me 17 carbs. This is a lot of work!
I appreciate any and all suggestions from everyone. Rice and Pasta are definitely something I will add in as I can put something with higher fat or fiber with it to slow it's entering the bloodstream. Great ideas!

Hi @deepwoodslady I may have missed some conversations, but do you eat beans - garbanzo, pinto, black, kidney, etc., they could add some complex carbs. For my hypoglycemia, I eat a combination of complex carbs and additional protein from meat. You could add them to brown rice. Also, do you eat sweet potatoes - maybe a small one. I'm sure you've already thought of beans as a good source, or some people's digestive system can't handle them very well.

@fmfdfa2020 I don't care for beans but I will eat them in chili as it all kind of tastes like the spicy broth. I do like refried beans (got used to them from mexican food). Now that I think about it, bean burritos may be a good idea on a whole wheat tortilla! I have learned to love sweet potatoes but I have to watch what I put on them (carbs AND calories.) I usually bake them. Yum! It is definitely a healthier choice than some of the processed junk out there.

@deepwoodslady - Re Refried Beans - I've been making them with just the pinto beans. I used to put fresh garlic in olive oil, and onions, then beans, but lately, I've been lazy and have just been smashing the beans, adding a little garlic powder and putting them on lettuce with some fresh parmesan cheese, tomatoes slices, and a small spoonful of sour cream. Very satisfying and pretty low in calories.

Oops, editing to add a note about sweet potatoes

. Again, being the lazy and inpatient cook that I am, I microwave sweet potatoes every time I have them. If it's a large potato that my husband and I split, I put on 4 mins, then let stand for a few, then another 2 or 3, then let it stand. They turn out so moist and very good.

Just trying to get back to moving easier and healthier. I refuse to be in a wheelchair again.
HW- 205
SW- 1/2022- 186

Every day is a kindness to myself.

2/11- 164- It's been a hard couple of days. Slacking off wasn't worth it. I would probably be at my goal by now. Husband wanted to go out for breakfast. I had coffee. Thankfully their coffee is really good.
2/12- 163.8- I took out bacon so breakfast was at home. The whole house smells like bacon. :P Weekends are so hard. When I’m home by myself it’s a lot easier. Super Bowl, but I just made us a regular dinner. No snackies to contend with, I would have failed.
2/13- 162.6- I was only over ± 260 calories, until my elephant decided to sneak out for a snack. Although what I ate wasn’t outrageous, it was my whole intake for tomorrow. It also had a lot of salt, so the scale will not be my friend in the morning.
2/14- 164.6
2/15- 166.6
2/16 – 166.6
2/18 – 167.5
2/19 -175.0
2/20- 171.9 My body went crazy. The neuropathy is spasming my whole body. I blew up like a balloon. Maybe the next challenge will be better 

Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 214
