Starting weight 3/12 157.3 - Lots of emotionally eating so I’ve been meditating lately…..hopefully this helps.
3/13 156.5Breathe in deeply,3/14 154.9 - Today I will hopefully be able to take the first step in making changes….
And settle yourself into comfort.
Be here,
One with your breath,
One with you.
Come inside,
And uncover the peace within the stillness.
Today, choose peace instead of anger,
Love instead of hate.
The sooner we give up these things,
The more quickly we align with peace.
Let peace be your only option as you walk through this day.
Peace always prevails.

For some reason the cold yesterday seemed to go right through me, so I stayed in other than a few fetch games with 5he pup out back. I’m feeling more inclined to get out today.
3/14 - 179
Today is our 31st anniversary. Whew! 31!? It’s been a fun ride! Anyway, I woke up to a big box of chocolates from DH. Love the thought, of course love the chocolates, don’t love the calories. I’m going to freeze most of them for later, take a couple out occasionally. I’m sure we’ll be doing something special for a late lunch/early dinner. 🥂 Maybe I’ll skip the scale tomorrow! Anyway, it’s freakin’ cold out, so I think I’m in again most of the day. Looking forward to warm days so I can walk everything off!

First Goal: Hit the 160's (again)
179 / 178 / 177 / 176 / 175 / 174 / 173 / 172 / 171 / 170 👉 169
Stick to Plan:- Calorie cycle for a weekly average of 1200 to 1500
- Exercise: Row, Walk, Bike, Weights, Snowshoe, Dance, Jazzercise
- Water: Shoot for 80oz per day
- Binge-Free & Sugar-Free for 100 days
- Lots of veggies and protein, some fruit (very little processed foods or simple carbs which I hardly have anyway)
- I need to figure out a way to get more grains. I'll try oatmeal again.
100-Day Weight Tracking as a Binge-Free & Sugar-Free Human
Bingeing is why I'm where I am now. I want to see the results with 100 days of no bingeing. I'm not talking about going over calories from overeating a little, I'm talking full-out bingeing. And that's not just on bad foods, even when I'm eating well, I'll binge. This will be extremely challenging but if I stick to it (and stay off sugar and simple carbs to stop cravings), there is no way I'm not going to see consistent weight loss during these 100 days (not to mention the health benefits)! I'll say right from the get-go, if I do slip, I will not punish myself, I will just move to the next day binge-free. However, my goal is NOT to binge.

176.x stayed around another day - YAY!!. Another snow storm coming. Hopefully this is the last one. I love every season in Maine (even winter), but my Georgia roots kick in, even after 23 years in Maine, asking where are the flowers and leaves LOL. Because of covid and my illness/surgery last summer, and now my MIL's illness, it's been so long since I've been to Georgia, and I miss my family so much!! I'm a very fearful flyer. Even though I worked for Delta Air Lines for 30 years, and I still have free flight privileges, for years, I took Amtrak to Georgia because of my fear. I love trains but the trip was exhausting. I would leave about 4am to drive to NH, take CJ's bus to BOS, BOS to Penn Station, then overnight to ATL, arriving 30 hours later. Time to put my big girl panties on and fly!!
3/14: 176.0 - Rowed/Biked✔ Water✔ Calories✔
Almost dropping to 175.x this morning was a nice surprise. I'm proving to myself that when I stick to my plan, it will happen! You lose confidence that you can do it when you stop and start as many times as I have. I don't have much faith that we won't lose power with this storm (knocking on wood as I say that).

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.

3/14 126.0 Just sticking to my plan, finally. My evening snacking has been sunflower seeds salted in the shell. Time consuming due to sucking all of the salt! Drinking plenty of water. Up today at 4:30AM Lunch today with a friend. Let me just add that waking at 4:30AM is not acceptable to me!8 -

GW-140
3/13-168-So glad to be “back on the wagon”; it’s Monday, a new round and the sun is shining! Had another crab feed this weekend and that came with pasta and everything else. Went to a wonderful Japanese restaurant yesterday for a friend’s birthday, super good food but lots of carbs. Board meeting this morning and then a walk in the sunshine and hopefully hop on the horse.
3/14-170-On top of all of the weekend eating, my friend gave us a loaf of her homemade sourdough bread; it’s got sun dried tomatoes and Greek olives. Maybe I’ll slice it up and freeze it, having “one” piece every once in a while. Rain today, yoga this morning and errands. Got my seeds started yesterday.9 -
Hello my friends...sorry I missed the last day of R216. I had a great visit with some friends...my joy bucket is filled...but so was my belly. Time to get back on track as we leave for Mexico in 15 days!!! I wanted to get down to 170 or below by then but last round wasn't super awesome so I'm just going to be hopefully optimistic about that goal.
51yrs - Female - 5'5"
Goal weight - to hang out somewhere 145-150
R216 EW - 3/11 -174.8 - 3/12DNW
3/13 - 176.4 - Bleh - result of many laughs and tears over too many glasses of Prosecco on the weekend. But it's Monday and I'm committing to tracking everything this week...even the scone I had for breakfast today (I brought them home for the boys but apparently they haven't noticed them). I will see it when I open my app to track lunch and dinner and will make good choices for a balanced day. Last morning with my parents' dog, so I'm also looking forward to some good hikes this week without the pokey little puppy, Mack and I are both missing them. I'm feeling the time shift this morning so we will get out for a walk but probably keep it lighter, I can hop on the elliptical later if I have an energy burst. Have a great start to the week everyone!!!
3/14 - 175.6 - right direction. Feeling off today again...slept horribly, my lower back is super tight. Wanted to hike today but think I'll stick to a light walk to loosen things up and then some stretching, don't want to end up in the woods with my back seizing up.

@shmmm3 AMEN to eating well for your body!
@39flavours I wear a tracker with a heart rate monitor to more accurately get a “calories burned” figure. I started that when I did WW in 2008. When I was a WW leader in 1985-6, there was no such thing! LOL progress!6 -

#1 No added sugar or ultra processed foods and no more than one alcoholic drink per day.

#3 Walk the dog twice a day.
3/13 👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE. I'm copying this phrase to my post this round because I too need to reframe. My original "why" is the same as today. Most of my health problems were attributed to my weight, diet, and lifestyle factors that I learned how to control. So, I'm now at a healthy normal weight, but the weight itself was only one part of it. I can't throw out the diet and lifestyle that got me here and got me feeling better even if everyone around me thinks it's too restrictive and too strict. I know how I feel and how things make me feel. Eating and drinking things just to fit in makes for a great time in the short term but I pay for it for days afterward. I have to eat well for my body every day if I want to feel good every day. This round I'm going to cut back on caffeine and be very gentle with myself at maintenance calories. Eat well today and tomorrow morning I'll feel good. Okay. Let's do this again.
3/14 Day 1 of a new experiment. I've changed my food diary settings to show 8-10am, 10-12 pm, 12-2 pm, 2-4 pm, 4-6 pm, 6-8 pm. I almost always eat more later in the day and I'm hoping this will give me a clearer picture of my habits. I'm going to aim to eat no more than 1000 calories per 2 hour window. I usually eat very light as I'm running about in the day and then I'm starving at night. With healthy foods like nuts and dried fruits I can easily surpass 1000 calories in an hour. I need to get out of that habit. If I can aim to keep my 6-8pm window to less than 1000 calories I will be more motivated to eat enough earlier in the day and have a stricter guideline for what constitutes over eating. I'm curious to see how this change plays out.

This is my first day joining the challenge! My goal at the moment is to eat regular meals and not binge eat. I've joined Jane Plan, and am adding in a lot of extra calories as with my current weight the calories would be far too low, but they're all the suggested added fruit/veggies/dairy, plus some Huel. Averaging 1600-1700cals a day, and having the regular meals planned out for me is working wonders to avoid binge eating!

Hi! I’m Amanda, 38F in Appalachian Virginia.
My goals for the round are to:
- fast 16+ hours 9/10 days ⏱️
- Work out 7/10 days 💪🏻
- Eat mindfully 10/10 days 🥗 (meaning no standing in the kitchen while snacking)
- Stay within maintenance range (118-122 lb) each day! ⚖️
R217 SW: 121.8
3/13: 121.8 ⏱️ 💪🏻⚖️- today is the last day of an 8 week bike/run challenge I’ve been doing so I’m going to have to come up with a new fitness plan! Excited and nervous for the blank slate since I’ve been continuously fed my workout plans for the past 8 weeks. Glad to be back with the challenge!
3/14: 121.4 💪🏻⚖️ - I decided to dial it back on cardio and start a gentle running program called "you can run" through Peloton. It starts with walking/jogging intervals and progresses from there. I think going back to the drawing board is good. Simultaneously starting a beginner strength program where you start where you are and progress from there with basic movements. Just a bit of a refocus. Hoping my birth injuries will not flare up if I start doing strength training again. Yesterday I tracked most of the day and totally gave up by the end of the day. I wish I wouldn't do that! I already blew my eating mindfully goal for the round but will continue to try. Girl Scout cookies are my problem at the moment. My husband left them out on the counter yesterday, and instead of just putting them away I grabbed one and ate it! Why?! That is the kind of mindlessness I am trying to squash.

@Skyleen75 Congratulations! How Wonderful! I hope the bathroom turns out BEAUTIFUL!!!! Keep us posted!4 -
3/13: 239.8 (+2.0), BF% 33.4 (+0.5).
3/14: 241.0 (+1.2), BF% 33.6 (+0.2). Daylight saving is kicking my @$$. As was my weekend (3 days of eating/drinking that went outside of my norm). I'm going to continue to weigh-in every day, and I'll post when I can. My motivation is definitely lower when I'm not "doing well" (subjectively), but I'm going to get back into the habit of posting no matter what. It's what's best for me, and it's what I need to do.9
