Day, Weight, Comment
2/21 190.5 Good start to this round. Going out for Fat Tuesday, so hopefully tomorrow's weigh in will be ok....
2/22 190.3 Drank some wine last night, so I am happy to see a little loss.
2/23 190.5 I think my Fat Tuesday shenenigans caught up with me! I am disappointed because I thought I would drop into the 80's today. I have a party to go to tonight.....
2/24 189.8 Yay! I have to keep focused over the weekend so that I stay in the 80's and keep going down....
2/25 189.4 Happy for a loss...
2/26 188.5 I had a good day yesterday. Did not have any weekend social activities, so that helped my weekend weight loss.
2/27 188.7
2/28 188.5 I'm really having to work to get down into 187! Hopefully tomorrow......

Round 215
2/21 - DNW - Okay, here goes. On Sunday, I was making dinner and I just didn't want to weigh everything, figure the per-serving calories, etc. Instead of just ball-parking the calories and still tracking, I decided I was "intentionally" not going to track that day, nor exercise. Okay fine. Except, on Monday, I didn't go right back to tracking, I decided to "intentionally" make cheese crackers, and ate half of them. This morning, instead of throwing them out, I "intentionally" ate the rest. Then, after no sugar for 28 days, I "intentionally" opened a jar of my husband's homemade strawberry jam and "intentionally" ate it with crackers. I don't even really like jam.
So, there it is, 3 days of floundering around. I'm not happy I got off track, but I don't feel like I've totally lost it and will start bingeing. I will feel like I have a hangover tomorrow from the sugar. I didn't weigh today and probably won't weigh for a few more days. My last weight on 2/19 was 177.2. All I ask for this round is to track, exercise, and drink water, and hit 176.X. These rounds really help to stop the downward spirals. I'm glad to be starting a new round. Here's wishing everyone a good round! Cheers! 🍻
2/22 - 178.6 - Glad I weighed so I know where I stand after the last 3 days. Today IS going to be a good day!
2/23 - 178.6 - Much better day yesterday as far as tracking and food consumption. I get the extra boost from shoveling now the next two days - yay!
2/24 - 178.9 - I had hot air popcorn last night with salt. Such a good snack. I just need to lower the amount of salt.
2/25 - 178.9
2/26 - DNW - got up at 4am
2/27 - DNW - my battery is low and would not register a weight, and I don't have any desire to go back upstairs to change it. I have struggled the past few days again. I haven't tracked calories, drank enough water, or exercised other than shoveling snow. I think I need to drop my calories to around 1200 most days, for at least a couple of weeks, so I can see results a little faster and stay motivated. I've been trying not to be so rigid, which is good for me, but I've stayed a little too loose. I'm going to row today and drink 64 to 80oz water.
2/28 - 178.1 - Replaced my scale battery this morning because, unlike yesterday, I actually wanted to weigh because I was able to manage my calories better yesterday. I'm trying to stay focused on the choices I make. I can either be starving at the end of the day because I blew 1/2 my daily calories on too many pecans, or I can have a few pecans and a 1/4 apple, leaving room for other nutritious food and feel satisfied at the end of the day. I choose NOT to be starving! Ok, 'nuf said, just frigging keep it up!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Hi! I’m Amanda in Virginia. 38F, 5'2"
RSW: 118.6
RGW: 118.0
2/21 - traveling - DNW. Yesterday I probably overdid it a bit but it's unlikely I did too much damage. I had an extreme sweets craving at like 9 when I was in bed but didn't go find a vending machine, so I'll call that a small victory. My hotel has a Peloton bike so I did a ride yesterday afternoon and this morning. At my birthday dinner, my stepmom made a huge deal about my weight loss and made it sound like I look emaciated. I really don't (I'm 5'2"), but I decided it's because my clothes are all too big. So I went shopping yesterday and hated every minute of it. I did get a pair of skinny jeans (size 4! first time ever) and one blouse at LOFT. I'm turning into my mom, but I just cannot wear "mom jeans" and crop tops. I don't get it. I live in a college town and I feel like these young women are wearing the most unflattering clothes during the prime of their lives. Okay, off my soap box now. One of my friends directed me to a subscription clothing company called Short Story I'm going to try out - it's specifically for women under 5'4". We'll see!
2/22 - traveling - DNW. My trip got extended by a day due to an issue during the study we're doing. Just hoping we don't have any more issues. I'd planned a treadmill run at the hotel this morning but wasn't feeling up for cardio. I got dressed and almost didn't go at all, but I decided to do 20 minutes of strength training instead. So I'm proud of myself for that choice. What I'm not proud of is that I bought 3 cannolis to share with my friend and her son and she rejected them, so I ended up eating 3 cannolis! Whoops! I ate 1 of those and a cheese omelet from the hotel breakfast bar and plan to skip lunch and try to snag a good salad for dinner.
2/23 - traveling - DNW
2/24 - 121.6 - back to the weight my body seems to love. I'm considering making my official goal weight 120 lbs with a maintenance range of 118-122. I feel good about where I am, and I feel that it's sustainable. I don't think there's a number on the scale at which I won't find something to criticize, so I think it's time to change my mindset. I'd still like to build more muscle in due time.
2/25 - 119.4! Guess I had some water retention from days on end of restaurant meals.
2/26 - 119.8
2/27 - 120.4. My youngest is home from daycare with a fever/cough/snot. Blahh. We had such a good run there that I started taking daycare for granted. I know I should work during his nap but I think I'm going to work out instead. It's better for my attitude. And I for sure need a positive attitude when I spend all day spread between half-working and half-parenting my two-year-old!
2/28 - 121.4. Ahh creeping up on the high end of my newly established maintenance range. I'm not even sure why, I guess I snuck a lot of snacks yesterday. I did a 45-minute Peloton ride and a 30-minute treadmill run to try to get ahead in my 8-week Peloton challenge. Not sure how today is going to go with the toddler home again. It's hard for me to do any brain work when he's home. I don't know how people manage to not have daycare for their kids when they WFH!

Round 215 goals:
#1 Diet goal: No alcohol, added sugar, ultra-processed foods
#2 Exercise goal: Strength training or yoga for 10 minutes every day.
#3 Me goal: Journal gratitude and desires in the morning. Read for 30 minutes before bed.
Round 214 end weight: 128.2
2/21 125.2 Kuchisabishii last night
2/22 DNW Enjoyed both a glass of wine and dessert at a social gathering. Otherwise, my exercise goal and journaling part of "me" goal were both achieved. I completed a big project and the toasting myself on Fat Tuesday of all days to go off my diet goal seemed perfectly appropriate.
2/23 125.8 Felt blah all day yesterday. The sugar definitely ruined my sleep Tuesday night. Restless night made Wednesday feel like a hangover and that effect is what initially led to my suspicion of sugar as the culprit to my sleep problems. I sleep so poorly when I have sugar at night. This morning I feel much better. Last night's kuchisabishii feeling was anticipated. I made a whole batch of air fried Brussels sprouts for dinner but didn't include any on our dinner plates so that I didn't fill myself too quickly just due to my habit of having to clean the plate as quickly as possible. I'm trying to slowly train my stomach not to like the feeling of being overly full. Some people hate that feeling and some people are comforted by it. I'm the latter. Then, after dinner, when my stomach wasn't too full but the feeling of wanting "something" struck, I had the plate of tasty roasted Brussels sprouts for us to munch on while watching TV. We both liked having them. I was like a happy little pig in a trough with the plate of caramelized sprouts and I slept so well last night!
2/24 DNW long story short I completely overdid it on dairy yesterday and my head is killing me today. I'm cutting dairy for the rest of this round to see if reintroducing with kefir will negatively affect me. I hope not.
2/25 DNW successfully avoided any and all dairy.
2/26 128.2 So, a 3 LB scale weight gain since the 21st but a 0 LB weight gain since the 20th. I'm glad I posted the last round's end weight to show myself this isn't a big setback. Aside from Fat Tuesday I've stuck to my diet and haven't gone 10,500 calories over maintenance (a pound of fat is 3,500 calories) so I know this is not fat gain. I have to tell myself again, this is not fat gain. I think I was better off not weighing myself everyday last round.
2/27 DNW I ate well over maintenance but kept with whole foods.
2/28 128.8 Ate over maintenance again yesterday. The extra calories have given me a lot of energy to put into my strength training exercises. I'll reframe this round as my "bulking" round since my calories have been higher and next round can be my "cutting" phase where I'll be strict with just under maintenance calories, but not too low that it messes with my energy or mood. My husband knows I've been trying to gain muscle and I held a yoga chair pose asking him to critique my form and he said, "your thighs look huge!" We need to work on how he phrases his compliments.

2/27 218.5 (-1.5) Today is beginning of 28 day protien challenge which for me is 52 per meal which is making me anxious. This is not going to be easy but I have 28 days to get it right. I am starting with increasing dinner and tonight it is pressure cooker ham and beans. My recipe makes 8 servings at 13g protein each. Even at 2 servings I don't reach 52 lol. I am doing something wrong. Meh...day 1. 27 to go lol. 2 rebounder sessions done as well as pacing while helping momma with her first ever cell phone. What made my sister think momma could figure out an iPhone at 80?!? Did another rebounder as fitbit decided I didn't do two. Spent most the afternoon raking and blowing leaves to reach my step goal. I did over 9000. I will be sore tomorrow.
@GirlOnTheRebound 52 grams per meal?! Wow! I can barely reach 60-90 per day!! HAH! Let us know how it goes!
@clprieur ...I could be reading it wrong but MFP says I should have 156g protien per day. That's 52g per meal. Please tell me I am wrong lol. I barely reach the 40s....sigh
@GirlOnTheRebound Protein is healthy in the right amounts. Too much is very very hard on the kidneys. Make sure your protein is listed in your goals in a fair percentage. Maybe 25% for you?2 -

@GirlOnTheRebound I agree that 52 grams per meal seems high. Based on some research that I've done, I upped my protein intake goal to spread it out over the day, so 25g per meal, plus at least 5g fiber, and then a 7g protein snack with at least 2g fiber. I'm also trying to get in at least 3 servings of dairy a day and 3-4 servings of fruit/veggies. Needless to say I eat a lot of low-fat cottage cheese, usually mixed with blueberries or a pear or some other kind of fresh fruit. I LOVE cottage cheese with fresh blueberries.
You may just want to check in with your doctor about the right amount of protein. The 52g per meal may be fine but I remembered reading something about too much protein not being good and found this research, which states within it that "Extra protein is not used efficiently by the body and may impose a metabolic burden on the bones, kidneys, and liver. Moreover, high-protein/high-meat diets may also be associated with increased risk for coronary heart disease due to intakes of saturated fat and cholesterol or even cancer."
This is awesome advice. I will confer with my doc. I too love cottage cheese and have been learning how to have it on days my sodium is lower as it has an amount I need to watch. Gone are the days of youth where we had sugary cereal then cafeteria lunch to be followed by mommas artery clogging dinner lol. At this stage I will stress less and keep learning. Thank you!3 -

Well that's not what I want lol. Although I never reached my protien goal I am now not going to aim for it. I have found the macro input and changed protien to 98g (25%). Fat is 35% and carbs 40%. Thank you.0 -
Hi, I'm Charissa, ready to go for Round 215/6.
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! Thank you QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!
Round 214 continued to be tough getting back on track. I made it through the weekend without significate damage and did managed to weigh in lower than my start of the round even though I don't think I hit one of my goals. The goals weren't tough, I just didn't focus so same goals in this round and adding one to start some weight training.

2/21 220.0 (+0.6/+0.6) Hoping the remaining trend is downward....Yesterday was my 6 hours marathon meeting day (only once a month). I don't consume my water on these days as I'd like to, as I'd be in the bathroom every hour. Lunch is also brought in (I had a Teriyaki Chicken & Broccoli Bowl from Panera @600 calories. Sunday I made a turkey veggie lasagna and had left overs for dinner. Pasta usually bumps me up and my future goal is to limit pasta to once a month. Alcohol Goal Met ✔
2/22 219.8 (-0.2/+0.4) Meh
2/23 219.8 (-0.0/+0.4)
2/24 219.2 (-0.6/-0.2) Was very frustrated yesterday so I didn't post as it would have been a crazy rant. Today, I'm only simi frustrated but also confused. I know that weight loss is not linear, and it's times like this when I think I should try the once a week weigh in.....yesterday I had an unplanned bagel, chicken breast for lunch and then a filet with salad and au gratin potatoes. I was over on calories, but not as much as I thought. The scale went down.... My frustration yesterday, sent me on a quest to find something different to follow. CICO is ok but I'm just counting calories and not looking at my choices for nutrition. A little planning this weekend and next week will be fruitful (pun intended)
2/25 220.3 (+1.1/+0.9)
2/26 219.6 (-0.7/+0.2) Starting a new plan today. Fingers crossed that I stay the course.
2/27 219.0 (-0.6/-0.4) Alcohol Goal Met ✔, Water Goal Met ✔
2/28 218.5 (-0.5/-0.9) Progress - 2 days on the new plan and I'm down 1.1.

@GirlOnTheRebound @RockinRobyn672 @clprieur
Protein recommendations can be all over the place. I personally found that once I stopped trying to eat tons of protein, and just kept to at least 10 grams per meal/snack I was able to get to at least 50 grams per day and I've been able to gain muscle with that amount of protein. My average day of low calorie eating has me between 40-60 grams of protein. If I am low on protein because I had a carby breakfast or something I'll just eat a $1 bumblebee tuna packet that has about 70 calories and 13 grams of protein. I also like peas a lot and they're surprisingly high in protein and fiber.
I follow the 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight rule as my protein goal. Any protein above that is okay but keeping it to the .8 grams per kilogram recommendation really helped me achieve that goal with a normal healthy diet. Also, I fear gallstones.
Thank you for this information. Hey I like peas! Great suggestion.1 -

02/20 …..194.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/21 -192.4- (Trend weight 194.8)
02/22 -191.2- (Trend weight 194.4)
02/23 -191.0- (Trend weight 194.1) A couple of weeks have went by since I last measured. I pulled out the measuring tape last night and found myself 1 inch smaller on the breast, 1 inch smaller on the waist and 1 inch smaller on the hips. So, just like last time, all the measurements are identical to one another. So I am still square. My name is Donna but you can call me Spongebob for short.
02/24 -191.4- (Trend weight 193.8)
02/25 -189.4- (Trend weight 193.4)
02/26 -190.4- (Trend weight 193.1)
02/27 -190.6- (Trend weight 192.8) Just a normal fluctuation. I did everything right yesterday. Travel today for rehab. A big snow storm is expected to start at about 10:00 am so I will be nervous getting home tomorrow but it should be okay driving there. Another 5 inches expected. I have no idea where we are going to put the snow. We are out of room! I stayed on plan yesterday. Calories were a little low but carbs were right on target. Blood sugars ran so much better all day yesterday, morning fasting 157, before meal 135, 2 hours after dinner 187.
02/28 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) I think those fluctuations for no reason got to me more than I realized. Emotional eating all day yesterday during and after travel. Also, the scale was way down in rehab since last week so my typical pattern is to do self-sabotage when I’ve done well. So I’m not sure which one it was but lets not call yesterday an epic fail. Let’s just call it an unexpected “cheat day” and move on. 5” of snow yesterday and I was caught in the white out slipperies trying to drive home. It was Devil-awful. 4 more inches last night. Did someone say spring soon?

@refactored I made the mistake of looking at myself dancing (in a mirror) at about age 12 and have never danced in public - except that one Zumba class. Yes, “medical episode” is a wonderful description!2

I am 1580 calories at 30% 30% and 40%. The 40% is protien. That 156g. Might need to tinker with values lol.
My macros are set at approximately 5% Carbs, 20% Pro, 75% Fat. The carbs I do get are from non starchy veg and occasional berries. It is better to have a little extra protein than to be short. There was an article I read in the last couple of months. I wish I had saved it!0 -

Thank you for this information. Hey I like peas! Great suggestion.
Be aware that peas are fairly high in starch/carbs. Plus, I would have to have them floating in butter! LOL2 -

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.

2/22 128.0 Made “Just like the real thing lasagna” and was so hungry that I ate too much.

2/27 128.0 Steak skewer at lunch, plain hamburger at dinner, tiny Greek salad with each
2/28 127.5 I’m stressed beyond belief by everything! DH ran for HOA board last fall and lost by 10 votes but someone who (or lots of someones) didn’t/doesn’t like the policies of the only candidate who actively campaigned and beat him, started a recall. He’s stressed, I’m stressed. Add to that trying to find reasonably priced housing at our reunion in July for the 14 plus baby. The younger generation is looking at Air BNB sites. I finally said that I can’t deal with it, just find a place where we can squeeze in. I’m sure DH and I can sleep on an air mattress at my sister-in-law’s - we’ve done it before. Oh and sweet blind friend gave us a Dutch Almond Pastry Stick which we didn’t find as wonderful as he does. (He is Dutch) The almond paste was yummy, the pastry not so much. Who doesn’t love crushed almonds and sugar??? Oh dear!6 -
