SW RND 216
Goals:
#1 Eat a good diet of MOSTLY no added sugar, ultra processed foods, or alcohol.
#2 Strength train or yoga or some actitivy at least 30 minutes per day.
80/20 rule is in effect this round. I'm trying for weigh in Wednesdays through March.
3/3 DNW After dinner I logged my day of eating and saw I was under 100 g carbs and way below calories. I'd had entirely air fried vegetables and chicken for my meals and snacks so I was low on both fat and carbs at the end of the day. To rectify the situation, I put together a high carb and high fat dessert that I am now inclined to share with those who aren't low carb: frozen dates, sliced in half but not all the way through (open like a clam shell), filled with a small bit of Neufchatel cheese, and back in the freezer for the cheese to harden. These are my new favorite things! High calorie for sure, but sometimes you need the boost. If I let myself go to bed with too much of a deficit, I can't sustain my diet goals the next day.
3/4 DNW Good day yesterday. Stay the course.
3/5 DNW Lots and lots of stretching with a nice long walk. Had a big weekend breakfast of potato hash and eggs, similar lunch, and dinner was weird. I cut up heads of broccoli to roast that were about to go bad. Sprayed them with duck fat and seasoned with salt. That was delicious (yay duck fat) and so filling that I couldn't stomach anything more. Ended up going to bed early and sleeping like a normal person. Didn't wake up once in the night. Didn't sweat through the sheets. Also weird for me, I'm actually hungry for breakfast. I'm going to try to replicate that today and see if eating the bulk of my calories early in the day and having a really light dinner lets me sleep two nights in a row.
3/6 DNW so yesterday's plan didn't go as planned. One day is just a day. Things more important than having gone all out over calories: I had only one alcoholic drink. Look at me moderating my intake! I had all my servings of fruit and veg. I had a great day. I don't have a sugar or alcohol hangover today.
3/7 DNW Good day. My net calories for the week show I can expect .5-1 lb weight loss. I set my food diary goals to keep maintenance calories so it's easier to keep track of any deficit or surplus. Monday, Wednesday, Friday strength training and light movement/yoga on the off days should mean I'm maintaining as much muscle mass as possible. Keep at it.
3/8 125.6 Right direction! My arms around the biceps are both down .5 inch and my lower belly is down .5 inch. I've never before done so much glute focused exercise consistently. 3 days a week, from February 1 to today, the difference is noticable! I feel tighter, and I've been standing with better posture. This challenge is the only reason I've been able to stay consistent. I thought I had terminal pancake butt after losing so much weight and my butt flattened and vanished. It's not a pancake anymore!
3/9 Had dinner out last night and out of curiosity I weighed this morning...127.6. To my utter surprise this number didn't upset me at all! At dinner I chose a healthier entree that was still fatty and delicious, just not as fatty as my usual deep fried choice, and I abstained from drinking and still had a great time. Socializing is always a trigger to drink too much. I had a light drink at home and was really able to enjoy it and fully relax rather than using as social lubricant.

Round 216 Start Weight: 152.3
Round Goal: Weight out of the 150's into the 140's
3/3: 151.8 Overall good day yesterday, ate within my calorie allotment, and successfully stuck to my eating plan. I'm doing a little nutritional reset for the next 3 weeks & I am eliminating added sugar from my diet, I miss my morning hot cup of tea (won't drink it unsweetened) but other than that all is well. Had a good lower body Tabata workout but the remainder of the day was pretty low activity.
3/4: 150.7 Nice whoosh! Yesterday was a HIIT circuit workout and got in a little over 10,000 steps after a mostly inactive day before. Went to bed with a bit of a headache and still have it this morning, likely from not having the diet sodas (full of caffeine) that I am used to. Will see if it is still there after yoga and then take something but hoping to avoid having to do that.
3/5: 149.5 Yesterday's workout was a yoga sculpt with weights and partially through it, poof, my headache was gone, love that! Got in a little over 12,000 steps and was on target for food goals.
3/6: 148.7 Not a lot of steps yesterday but did get in an upper body weights workout + an ab workout. Switched up my dinner plans at the last minute and ended up a little too low on calories, being much more mindful today.
3/7: 148.3 A little over 11,000 steps yesterday plus a full body strength workout with weights, food/calories on point. Day 6 of no sugar and it was the 1st day without any cravings for a diet soda, progress!
3/8: 148.1 A low steps day again but did a lower body HIIT Tabata workout. Made a modified pork fried rice last night subbing in cauliflower rice (for rice) and coconut aminos (for soy sauce) to keep it within my current dietary goals. It actually seemed a little sweet, date 7 no sugar and the taste buds are changing.
3/9: 147.4 Yesterday was a rest day but still got in a little over 8,000 steps. Tried on some clothes for an upcoming trip (less than 2 weeks away!) and things are definitely fitting better which is encouraging. Also, pulled the plug & booked another fun trip for this summer, which gives me another goal to work towards once I reach my current one. I want to be in a bikini (and be happy & confident in it) for my summer trip.

Hey everyone... it's been a while... and this has always been the one place that I have allowed myself to be my best self. So I'm coming back.

3/3 216.9 (-0.0/-0.0) and holding after 5 days of downtrend. I am good with that! We were supposed to get 8 to 10 inches of snow in the next 24 hours. I was ready to be shut in....now it seems we might get a dusting! WOW!
3/4 DNW (-0.0/-0.0) I was good all day until the snack fairy arrived along with her friend Bad Decision Maker....lots of salt and not enough water, the scale would NOT be friendly - so I'm not going to look at it!
3/5 218.8 (+1.9/+1.9) Faced the scale this morning. A couple of days needed to reverse this trend then downward spiral again, would be nice. I need to get meals planned for the week....definitely the key to success!
3/6 218.2 (-0.6/+1.3) I really dislike losing the same pounds over and over again. But, whose fault is it anyway? Good News - It's Monday and my projection says that I should see 215 ish later in this round..... Got back on the treadmill this morning...slow but got it done! Water, Water everywhere....now just drink it!!!
3/7 218.6 (+0.4/+1.7) I came home and made this super healthy meal consisting of whole wheat pasta (not a lot), artichoke hearts, spinach and tuna. It was ok. My thoughts on super healthy meals - you really don't want seconds🙂 But at the end of the evening, I felt myself looking for something for a snack. I found a couple of cookies😉 So a half a pound is explained.
3/8 219 (+0.4/+2.1) Came home to dinner that my husband cooked. He NEVER cooks. Maybe that "healthy" meal inspired him. He made a turkey meatloaf (it was really good) with mashed potatoes, soup and a salad. Normally I'd pass on the mashed and soup but I couldn't disappoint his efforts. Another half a pound.
3/9 220 (+1.0/+3.1) Not the right direction but yesterday was a food day. Went to a fashion show where there was lots of wine and food (lunch). Didn't plan dinner so had leftovers from my husband's meal that he prepared. Rough week and totally off plan. Think I'm resetting to day 1. I'm making something with chicken breast today. Friday - no idea. Saturday we are going to take a tour of Wrigley Field and then go out to lunch....so that brings me to Sunday - Reset

@SModa61 I watched Katee Sackhoff's youtube videos and got inspired to be really clean with my diet for a whole month. So much from these videos about diet and exercise is about the importance of consistency with a clean diet. I didn't strength train for an hour a day but I did the shoulder and back exercises they showed (at home, no gym for me). 15-30 minutes a day. Steve Zim's Atomic Moms videos have shorts of easy exercises to do at home with light weights or a resistance band. I've been clean eating since February 1 with no added sugar or ultra processed foods or alcohol. The key lessons I learned was #1 consistency, #2 diet, #3 light weights, 20 reps, and stretching. For cardio I walk or do yoga mostly. I don't like getting out of breath so the easy workouts are the only way I can do it.

@shmmm3 I'll check things out. Thank you so much for sharing. May I also ask your approximate age? As I am 61, I know I should see some degree of improvement, but want to be realistic.4 -
@SModa61 I'm mid 30s. Back when I first started exercising and built up the courage to finally go to the weights section of the gym, I became gym buddies with a lady in her 60s who was just starting out too. We helped each other with our form and encouragement and every time we saw each other we were better and better. I miss my gym buddy.5

Round 216 SW: 165.3 lbs
3/3: 166.0 lbs
Achieved my goals for the day. I think I am regreting the decision to do the planking challenge!
3/4: 166.4 lbs
Achieved my goals for the day.
3/5: 167.5 lbs
I had a big blowout at a celebration yesterday. It felt good to relax and enjoy the moment. I am thinking about taking a diet break and eating at maintenance for a while. I think it might be useful to train myself for maintenance since I feel like I can either lose or gain but I am worried I will struggle to maintain.
3/6: 167.3 lbs
Achieved my goals for the day. I have decided to eat at maintenance during the first week of April.
3/7: 165.6 lbs
Achieved my goals for the day.
3/8: 165.6 lbs
Didn't exercise but did stay within calorie limit.
3/9: 165.3 lbs
So it took until today to get back to my starting weight for this round after my blowout on the weekend. I haven't exercised and nor have I done any planking but I did say within my calorie limit. I think I need to do at least some weight training before I do any planking.

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.

3/3 – 148.4 lbs – Well, I am really pleased with my progress! I was looking back and I started these challenges on January 13, 2023 and I have lost 9.2 lbs since that time! Thanks @quiltingjaine! Considering the time of year (poor mental health + bad weather usually = annual weight gain, for me), and the fact that I am pretty close to my goal weight, this is wonderful! I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I am TWO HUNDRED POUNDS LESS THAN I WAS IN 2005. Like wth? That is so bizarre. So bizarre. I mean it has been a roller coaster of losing and gaining since gastric bypass, for sure, but still. And now I have a glimmer of hope of being able to maintain this weight (145-150 lbs) by just continuing to log my calories, and walking every single day. I mean, it’s a pretty simple formula. It’s not rocket science. LOL! Anyhow, honestly, if I can lose 0.8 lbs by the end of this challenge, that would mean I have lost 10 lbs in 2 months, and that is more than okay by me! 😊 You will see that I have set A LOT of goals for this round. What I did was look back over the last 5 rounds and put together every single goal I have attempted since January 13th. (I left out a goal I had originally set about calming down on ice-cream sammiches, as I have completely stopped eating those.) Some goals I have been very successful at, some I didn’t achieve even once. So, I thought that for this round I’d try to go all in and challenge myself! The only new goal I’ve added is getting to the gym. I have reinstated my gym membership and I want to get back into the habit going 2-3 times per week. Anyhow, in the spirit of the success I have had over the last few days by posting this up in the morning and then feeling like I need to live up to all the “happy faces” I’ve projected for the day ahead, I am going to give myself all happy faces above and then do my absolute best to stay the course. Let’s go people! Let’s do this!! 😊
3/4 - 149.2 lbs – First of all: HAHAHA at myself for being so raring to go yesterday morning and then finding myself eating McDonald’s chicken nuggies and fries by the end of the day!! Like what the heck!! Where did my motivation go??? I only got 4/10 happy faces yesterday, AND I ate over 2500 calories!! Sheesh! Well, I guess you win some, you lose some. Let me try to do better today. However, I am a bit concerned because we are in the middle of another frickin’ blizzard and I am not even sure how I am going to take my dog out for pee-breaks, let alone walk him (and he is used to 1-2 hours of walking per day – pray for my sanity). It’s treacherous out there and I can see it is white-out conditions and I can hear the wind howling. So… this is going to be an interesting diet/exercise day. I don’t think am going to hit my 14K steps goal today. Wish me luck. Today is supposed to be a gym/strength training day according my schedule. I haven’t been there since before I rescued Goliath on January 2nd. This is going to HURT. Luckily my gym is just about a block away so I can walk over, if I can trudge through the snow on the sidewalks. I could use the weather as a reason to skip it, but I had planned to go today and I am really looking forward to starting up again. Because I had gastric-bypass, I am at high-risk of developing osteoporosis, so in addition to taking my supplements I am also supposed to be doing regular weight-bearing exercise to try to keep up my bone density. So it’s important to build this into my weekly schedule and stick with it. Oh, and you will see that my weight is up today. I am very close to going over the upper-level of my goal range. This is VERY motivating. I do NOT want to creep up. I need to nip this in the bud. With all your support, I know I can do it. 😊 I put in my pre-planned “happy faces” above and now I am going to post this so you all can hold me accountable! HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!
3/5 – 148.8 lbs – Well, yesterday was a decent day – 5/10 happy faces - and I am glad the scale is down a smidge. I did go over my calories yesterday by 330 cals, but I also walked almost 26K steps so I am not too worried about that. What I am worried about is the fact that I invited my sister, her daughter and daughter’s fiancé over for lunch today, and I said I’d order Chinese food. Now I am worried about the calories in Chinese food and wondering if I should a) just eat my Jenny Craig food while they eat Chinese food or b) try to cook us all something healthy. I am not much of a cook but I recently purchased a Ninja 13-in-one which is pretty easy to use. I’ll keep thinking about that and let you know how it goes. I mean, I know “treats” are okay sometimes, but on the other hand, I can enjoy their company and feed them healthy food instead of salty, greasy, (delicious) Chinese food which will result in a bump up on the scale tomorrow. I still haven’t been to the gym and I am actually motivated to go right now, which I think I will do, even though I feel weird about it because I have walked my dog every day at this time since I brought him home from the shelter. I feel bad leaving him behind. Also, I usually enjoy my walks with him around 4-5 AM as he is dog-reactive and we don’t run into many other dogs at this time, so it is our best walk of the day. So if I gym now and walk him later, being a Sunday morning, we will definitely run into other dogs, which is inevitable but also markedly less fun. Anyway, I am not going to pre-log my happy faces this morning, as I have no idea how the day is going to go. Obviously, I am a little indecisive this morning. LOL. Wish me luck.
3/6 – 148.6 lbs – Well, the Chinese food lunch yesterday did not go as planned. Let’s just leave it at that. On the flip side, I am super proud of myself for getting back to the gym yesterday morning. And I am also impressed with myself for being proud of getting back to the gym instead of fixating on the fact that I didn’t do my entire routine or beat myself up for the fact that I needed to do less weight and fewer reps. I was just happy with myself for making it there. That is a HUGE improvement in my attitude and I feel like it shows significant progress. 😊 In addition to going to the gym, I also got in 23k steps. So overall it was a good day for exercise. I am a bit concerned with the fact that at some point yesterday I just gave up on logging my calories. I lost track with the Chinese food and after that things kind of went to hell in a handbasket, which is NOT a sign of progress. LOL. It is that old mentality of “oh well, the day is already ‘ruined’, I might as well eat anything and everything now, especially since I stopped logging for the day!”. It is not a wise approach, as I have learned time and time again in my weight loss journey. Er, weight-gain journey.

That's crazy. I'm originally from Michigan City, IN. I lived only maybe 10 miles from Michigan.
So it's pizza crust. Instead of pizza sauce, it's either refried beans or refried beans/salsa mix. Then taco-seasoned ground beef and mexican blend cheese. I'll add olives and chopped fresh tomatoes. After finished baking, while still hot, I had shredded lettuce and more fresh tomatoes (not required, to taste). Eat with taco sauce/salsa and/or sour cream.2 -

In answer to someone’s question, crust, sauce, refried beans (I think), meat, chopped lettuce, chopped tomatoes, cheese, crushed Doritos. Taco sauce packets optional. That’s the ones here.
Oh, doritos! We used doritos with taco salad since I don't make the fancy tortilla bowl. This is extremely fascinating all the various places that do and don't have it. Fun discussion, though! Glad you chimed in. Also -- I miss Casey's gas station pizza. We had that in NW Indiana. Quite delicious!2 -

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

Day/Weight/Comment
3/03--235.0 Went to pilates this morning. Going out for dinner tonight with hubby, so expect weight to be up tomorrow.
3/04--236.1 Had a great dinner last night at a Tapas restaurant. Today I went to gym and did some lifting, ran around and did some errands, and then relaxed for most of the day. Out for a hike tomorrow and lunch afterwards.
3/05--235.6 Went out for a 6-mile hike today and then went out for brunch and dessert.
3/06--235.8 Weight training today. I set up a gym in my basement during the height of Covid. Once the gyms opened up again, I got a membership at my neighborhood gym because I got bored of working out at home alone, but sometimes, like today, it's nice to just go down to the basement while working from home and get a workout done. Ate a salty dinner today, so won't be surprised if there is a bump tomorrow.
3/07--235.8 Pilates this morning. Going to community orchestra practice this evening. My scale has been acting up the last couple of weeks and I got another error message today. It may be done. I do have another scale that I can use, so if I can't fix my old scale I will start using the new one tomorrow, so my numbers will probably be off with the new scale.
3/08--235.9
3/09--236.7 Forgot to post yesterday. Yesterday was weightlifting at the gym and then pilates. Today was the day I go into the office, so I took a day off from working out. Using new scale going forward.
