Day/Weight/Comment
03/12 …..189.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
03/13 -189.4- (Trend weight 191.6)
03/14 -187.8- (Trend weight 191.3)
03/15 -188.8- (Trend weight 191.0) Up a full pound today but I’m not going to be discouraged. It was a very good day yesterday and my trend weight is still dropping. Yesterday was 976 calories and 56 carbs. Both below my daily goal. I saw my family doctor in a nearby town yesterday for a medication check (no major traveling) and she was THRILLED with my progress and I felt very proud. I think the scale is reflecting the water retention I have on non-medication days and no TMI today. This is exactly why I like the wiggle room in each new decade. On the exercise front, I went to the school yesterday evening and walked 2 miles until the janitors kicked me out. Today I am batch cooking for the freezer. Yesterday at the out-of-town grocery store I bought a 3 pack of large English cut Roasts. I cooked one overnight in the crock pot, I’m cooking another all day today and I’ll do the last one overnight. Guess what I’m having for dinner? LOL
03/16 -188.8- (Trend weight 190.8) No scale change. Another late dinner like most have been the past few days. Dinner at 10:00 pm and snacks at midnight. This is becoming a problem with the scale a bit, I think. Problem is that I’m just not hungry earlier and I don’t like to eat when I’m not hungry. I’ve got to start my first meal earlier which will interrupt my IF a little sooner, but it’s the only thing I can think of. I may also lighten up my first meal, but I’m already running under calorie so I just dunno. I’ll throw this up in the air, spin it around and see what comes out this weekend. Today I travel for my cardiac rehab. I do like that the trend weight is still going downward, noticing my calorie and carb cuts and recognizing both my exercise and my determination.

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.
3/15: 239.6 (-1.4), BF%=33.3 (-0.3). Better. I want to say that I'm going to commit to never seeing 240 again, but that would be stupid. Goals are cool, but internal ultimatums have not worked out super-well for me in the past. Kinder. Softer. More flexible. More understanding. If I'm making a commitment, it's to being here. That's it. I slept more last night, which is good. I ate a bit better, but still got to snacking in the evening (though I had a bit more control than I have had in the past). I'm on-call at work until 7/21 @ 0700, which means that I may have to "rollout" at any time from 5pm to 7am on weekdays, and 24 hours on the weekend. This means no drinking for a week. Or very little. My "goal" is zero alcoholic beverages until next Tuesday. My other goal is no drinking on weekdays (only on Fri/Sa... and rarely on Sunday). So that means no alcohol for the remainder of this challenge. I wonder what this will help me learn about myself...
3/16/23: 239.0 (-0.6), BF%=33.2 (-0.1). Trending in the right direction. The weekend is coming up, so I'm going to start thinking about it. I have dinner out with friends on Saturday. I'm going to try to make a healthier choice (regarding food), I'm not going to have more than one drink, I am NOT going to pick at my wife's food (or accept her offers when she inevitably makes them). I'm still snacking a bit too much after dinner. I'm going to try to limit myself to a cup of coffee after dinner (which is a treat for me).9 -

@musicsax Yes it does strengthen my resolve. I've challenged myself to go 100-Days Binge-Free that I'm tracking on my daily postings! My health has suffered and I'm turning it around! And when I'm out of control bingeing, the rest of my life seems chaotic as well. So happy for both of us!!
I'm going to join you on that 100 days binge free challenge if you don't mind, we can have a race between ourselves, I am sure this will be another tool to help us both!! Maybe others might want to join in too?

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.
3/15 - 175.6 - again. Bright sunny day today! Would have been a great day for a hike...but we planned a family day for the boys on their march break. I got rush seats for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child so we are heading to Toronto today to see the matinee and then hang out for a while, hit some record shops and have dinner. Should be fun but there won't be much activity with the drive and a 3 hour play. I will be mindful of what I choose for dinner tonight.
3/16 - 176.4 - *sigh* - I seem to be getting really good at maintaining this 2lb range, been at it for 2 weeks, too bad it's 30lb from my goal weight. I've been far to sedentary the last little while...there seems to be an excuse everyday and that's totally on me. Going to finish my coffee and strap on my boot spikes and head to the woods with the dog for a good long hike this morning.

Goals
#1 No added sugar or ultra processed foods and no more than one alcoholic drink per day.
#2 No eating after 9 pm.
#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.
3/15 126.8 this is a happy surprise. I was sure I'd gained more from the weekend but it seems to have evened out now that bloat is gone. Why, oh why does food have to be so hard to self-police? Maybe when it becomes more socially acceptable that sugar addiction is a real addiction I'll feel less like I'm being a baby about it. Someone else here was talking about being a food-aholic. Yep, me too, but my poison is sugar. My only way out is through fully committing to natural foods in their natural form and avoiding absolutely anything that a neuroscientist had any say in marketing and producing. Good news: I'm not scared of restaurants anymore regarding my diet goals. As long as I steer clear of cheese (I'm disheartened to have confirmed that I'm sensitive to it) and deep fried things, I can keep my diet on track without sacrificing social time
3/16 DNW My experience with dairy has been illuminating. I spent a lot of time researching dairy yesterday. Apparently, people can become lactose intolerant in adulthood and not even know it. That may be me. Further, symptoms of PMS and menstrual pain can be alleviated by cutting dairy altogether and keeping meat products to organic chicken or grass fed and finished beef. I'm trying to find a bright side to not enjoying cream cheese anymore. So, if I can go the rest of March with only kerrygold butter, no cream, no cheese, and only expensive and not as delicious steaks, maybe my next period won't be debilitating. I assumed that my menstrual symptoms were all due to being overweight, technically obese, but now I can't attribute my hormone problems to an excess of fat cells. Wouldn't it be great if this is the last piece of the puzzle? I'm really hopeful. Also, 3 days without binging!

3/13 - 178.8
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!
3/15 - 180
I expected that! We had Italian for our celebratory dinner yesterday, a creamy chicken risotto for me plus salad, and I enjoyed every bite. I also ate way too many of those chocolates, so may bump up again tomorrow, though I’m going to try hard to eat responsibly today (and tomorrow and tomorrow….). Another really cold day here so far—I’m hoping it will warm up this afternoon. I’m definitely ready for spring, and it’s on the way according to all the daffodils, albums, tulips, and lilies poking their green little heads up! 🌷🌷🌷
3/16 - 181
Ok, that’s still mostly Tuesday, although I did have some chocolate yesterday, but overall I wasn’t much over my calories goal. Some of the uptick has to be water—fat doesn’t adhere that quickly. So back to the plan. I don’t know why, but I’m really tired and just want to go sleep, although I slept well last night. I mentioned last round a project I’ve been putting off since Dec. —I think that’s part of my exhaustion/mild depression, so today! Right now! I have to get that painting off my to do list. I think it’s probably worth ten pounds! Seriously, I think deal with having undone “assignments” I don’t want to do by eating. Crazy. If I start it now, I can finish it in a day or two. That’s my goal for today.

@musicsax @fmfdfa2020 I”ll join you! I think my snacking qualifies as bingeing, and I need to cut it out. I’ll also try for 100 days without snacking after dinner. (Daytime isn’t a problem for me.) Thanks for the inspiration and the company!

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.
I want to see what happens when I don't give up!

Round 217
3/13: 176.8 - Walked/Rowed/Biked✔ Water✔ Calories✔
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).
3/15: 175.9 - Rowed/Biked✔ Water✔ Calories✔ I would have been happy with just 176.0 sticking around, but I dropped into the 175's! I'm feeling strong and capable right now. I just have to stay patient!
3/16: 3/15: 176.0
Biked✔ Water✔ Calories✔ The expected back and forth before settling into the 175's. One of my goals is to get more fiber, especially from grains. I have a mild allergy to dairy, enough to make me not want it on a daily basis. I used to put it in my oatmeal but felt sick the rest of the day. I stopped eating oatmeal for this reason because it just didn't taste good with water. Yesterday, I added an apple to the oats, cinnamon, butter and a little salt with water and microwaved it for about 5 mins. It was actually pretty good. This with air popped popcorn should help add some additional fiber.

March 13 - 22, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
Goal for round 217. Would like to make it down to 135 (1 pound) for this round. DD, DGS and SIL are coming to stay with us in the Key on March 25. Last year when they came, I was between 134 and 135. Would like to return to that number, then finish my job of trimming weight after they leave.
History:
Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, and a DGS. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Selling family home distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

SW: 136.0
Day/Weight/Comment
3/13 – 135.4 Nice surprise, but overall theory shot. Woke up late, 7.04. We meet for group walks at 7 am. Oops. I usually wake up without an alarm, like yesterday. BUT I managed to instead run to the grocery store and buy water (they were out yesterday) as they were loading the shelves. We are having a “boil water” precaution due to Florida Keys water main breaking twice in three days.
3/14 – 135.8 Expected this today. 1) I do zero exercise yesterday 2) I did a “controlled” binge last night. Pretty much the first since Feb 1. I hit about 2000 calories today. 2078 to be exact, as I tracked every bit of it. Heading out for my walk…….
3/15 – 135.2 yesterday, was slightly under goal and did not eat back any exercise. Today, got up early and chose to walk on my own. Walked to the beach for the sunrise. Nope, today is a rare raining day and no sun came up. Walked over 7 miles at a great pace. Felt good.
3/16 -135.4 Did that large walk yesterday. Stayed true on calories. Scale is just teasing me. Have challenging three day now. Tonight – out to eat. Tomorrow – entertaining neighbors with St. P appetizers. Sat – having friends over for belated Corned Beef etc.

@clprieur Sorry, I had to chuckle at typing counting as steps. My daughter had some phenomenal “steps” when she was crocheting and her 🍎 watch was counting the “steps.”
@39flavours If you think you’re retaining water, drink more water. I don’t know why that works but . . .4 -

@SheilaBoneham I haven't tried almond milk. I don't know why since my husband drinks it and has tried to get me to try it. It may be a mental thing with my severe allergy to peanuts, I've always stayed away from all nuts except for pecans (why, just pecans, I have no idea) I'll have to give the almond milk a try, or maybe soy milk. There are certain times where you just need milk, like yesterday when I wanted mashed potatoes. Thank you!
I'm glad to see you and @shmmm3 are joining me and @musicsax in the 100-day binge-free challenge!!4 -

Hi everyone! My names Brad, 27yo, 6ft3', from the UK - I'm back (new mfp account) after almost 4 years!! I went from 145kg down to 90kg last time I was here, but now after LIFE, grief etc etc I'm back up to 120kg (BOO) and 1 year away from my wedding. I'm hoping you can all help me keep on track!
Round 217
3/13 - 120.2kg / 264.5lbs / 18st 13lbs - No weigh day (started 3/14)
3/14 - 120.2kg / 264.5lbs / 18st 13lbs - This was inevitable, I'm back into most of my fat clothes (I now own everything from a small to an XXL), my routine is awful and blah blah blah. Today is the start, lessss go!
3/15 - 118.6kg / 261.5lbs / 18st 10lbs - first week is always my favourite, day 1 of calorie deficit complete and couldn't be happier. Time to keep up this consistency!!
3/16 - 118.0kg / 260.2 lbs / 18st 9lbs - Calorie deficit starting to feel a bit easier. Earl days though. Scales going the right direction so I'm happy...

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.

3/13 126.5 Happy Belated Birthday, Chris!
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!
3/15 126.5 WHOO HOO! I slept until 7:05! 8 hours 9 minutes! I will attribute that to the muscle relaxer I took when I got up at 2:30. I felt the headache starting in the back of my head. I was supposed to work at the quilt show all day but it turns out I wasn’t needed. I’m so glad - maybe that’s why I was able to sleep! Uptick due to spanakopita I ate at lunch yesterday, I’m sure. Flour!
3/16 127.5 Bingo last night was frustrating at best plus the “dinner” was pathetic and nothing but super carby junk. Sliders on those Hawaiian rolls (🤮) with less than a tablespoon of chicken salad on each, potato chips, and ice cream sandwiches.
In hindsight, all of this garbage seems to have resulted in an enormous TMI about an hour after I weighed.3 -

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.
3/15: 120.2 ⏱️⚖️🥗 - Super late posting today. Work has been so busy, and in the only downtime I had a made a huge purchase of an ebike to haul the kids to and from daycare. Gaahh! I'm nervous spending several thousand on an ebike but I've been in the market for a while and had a lot of trouble making the decision. Biking 70 lbs of kids to and from daycare without an assist would just be too hard in our hilly area though. It will be great to have more integrated exercise in my WFH life!
3/16: 121.0 - PMS is driving me mad. Just had a desk cry over something work-related which only happens when my period is on its way. Might as well just show up now, TOM! This weekend is going to be a whirlwind. We're celebrating my dad's birthday tomorrow night an hour a way, driving on through and staying at my mom's, going to a big pancake breakfast and maple festival, then staying at a friend's condo at a ski resort in WV for a night, and putting the kids in childcare there while we ski! Whew. Finishing the winter out strong. I have very bad DOMS today from my strength training on Tuesday, so I'm not sure what my activity is going to look like. My brain needs me to do something though!

SW RND 217
3/13: 158.3kg (349lbs)
3/14: 157.9kg (348.1lbs)
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!
3/15 157.0kg (346.1lbs)
I am obese and in the first couple of weeks of a big lifestyle change, so I'm seeing big losses on a day-to-day basis. I'd really like to celebrate this but I have such a damaged relationship with food and weightloss that I'm contantly monitoring myself and telling myself to prepare mentally for the losses to slow down! I'm aiming for 1kg loss a week, but it's taking 2-3 days to lose that at the moment. I'm proud of the consistency I've had with eating my regular meals and snacks and not binging!
3/16 157.0kg (346.1lb)
I'm honestly shocked I didn't see an increase, had a somewhat controlled binge yesterday! Have just immediately put it behind me and focused on making the right decisions today, I'm not letting myself spiral!

@SheilaBoneham I haven't tried almond milk. I don't know why since my husband drinks it and has tried to get me to try it. It may be a mental thing with my severe allergy to peanuts, I've always stayed away from all nuts except for pecans (why, just pecans, I have no idea) I'll have to give the almond milk a try, or maybe soy milk. There are certain times where you just need milk, like yesterday when I wanted mashed potatoes. Thank you!
I'm glad to see you and @shmmm3 are joining me and @musicsax in the 100-day binge-free challenge!!
Not sure if you're willing, but I've also tried oat milk (not a nut!) if you need to ease it. I bounce around the non-dairy milk types based on what is on sale/cheaper at the time.3 -

OSW-187 Sept. 2018. Thank you @quiltingjaine !
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.
3/15-167-Lower number because I threw the rest of the bread in the trash and ate fish and fruit. Lots of horrid wind so I just stayed in and tidied up the house and sewed. Our 24yo son is coming for a visit for one night and we are excited.
3/16-DNW-Hand a nice family meal and did a lot of visiting. Made our son food he loves and sent the leftovers all home with him. Sunny day, so got a walk in.7 -
