3/13 – 147.8 lbs – Okay… that is quite an uptick since yesterday. I am assuming it is carb-bloat, because for the past few days, I have been eating basically anything that seems appealing as I have been feeling very weak and still like I’m recovering from the gastroenteritis from last week. Yesterday I was so exhausted, I could barely do anything. I had planned on starting back to counting calories etc. yesterday but as I was feeling so tired and dizzy I thought I’d better just try to give my body some fuel and see if that helped. I am feeling better this morning, so far. I am off to a late start, however, which is anxiety-causing, because I don’t want to be late for work. I actually don’t even want to work (surprise, surprise) but I really need to because my boss already thinks I’m an idiot and totally useless. You know what, I am just going to do my best today. That is all I can do. Nothing is going to be perfect today, and that is okay. I actually just started a new Word doc and typed that out a few times. NOTHING IS GOING TO BE PERFECT TODAY, AND THAT IS OKAY. I guess I finally did some “affirmations”… Anyhoo, so for this round, I have lowered my goal weight to 140 lbs. At nobody’s advice. Just as a lark. I’m not really invested in reaching that particular goal weight, to be honest. I am curious. But I won’t be destroyed if I never make it. If I can hover around 145 lbs and eventually get some more skin-removal surgeries happening, that is actually still pretty frickin amazing. But let’s put it to 140 lbs and see what happens. According to MFP, to get to that weight I need to eat 1345 cals per day. So I set that as a goal above, as well. I’m going to keep my step goal to 14K, and I will try to add in my jogging spurts when I am feeling a bit more recovered from being sick and when the side-walks are cleared of ice and snow. (Friggin snow.) I want and need to attend all 8 out of the next 8 work days. It is an imperative. I have been tasked with leading a project and being sick put me at risk of failing to meet my timelines/objectives. I have upped my fluids to 10 cups a day which is HUGE for me. However, when I was at the hospital and had a CT scan they informed me that I was hugely uh… full of … uh… you know. The old system is pretty backed up, to say the least. They actually prescribed a laxative, but when I got home from the hospital a huge bout of TMI started and lasted for about 30 hours or so. But I know I rarely drink enough and I’m sure that is part of the problem (along with the iron and calcium supplements and high percentage of protein that I eat). So I lowered my protein goal for now and I will try to get some more fluids in. But 10 is a lot. And I don’t just count water, I count any fluid which I know on this site is controversial. LOL. Finally, my last goal for this round is to try to regulate my sleep cycle. I have always struggled with sleep and I really need to clean up my sleep hygiene. So I will start with baby steps and try to go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time every day. Alright, I need to eat something and go walk my damn dog. Have a good day people. But be kind to yourselves and remember: NOTHING IS GOING TO BE PERFECT TODAY, AND THAT IS OKAY!
3/14 – 146.4 lbs – Today was the first day that I have actually felt better since I was sick last week.
3/15 – 146.2 lbs – I didn’t write much yesterday and I didn’t even post! Oops. It was a busy day. But here I am, getting ready for the day (I had insomnia again. Damn you, PTSD). I am reviewing my goals above and I see that I have been doing great with my work attendance (and I have been killin’ it at work, too!) but I see that I have not yet stuck to my calorie goal nor reached my fluids goal. So there are my areas of focus today. I have to go into the city on the train for work today, so I likely won’t reach my steps goal as I won’t be walking my dog today. (The dog walker will do it – maybe I should give him my Fitbit! 😉) I want to try to reach my fluids goal, because it is super dry in my office and I always end up feeling so gross by the end of the day, and I wonder if it is because I am dehydrated. It’s just that carrying my laptop AND a bunch of water to work is really heavy! I’ll have to get into the habit of buying some water when I get off the train to take to the office with me. Luckily, I only have to go in one day this week. So yesterday my hubby did some progress pics for me. My starting weight was 220 lbs in January 2022 (I struggled for several months to get going and bounced up and down until I started to have some success in March 2022). So with a sides-by-side comparison I can really see my progress. It is actually quite mind blowing. I honestly didn’t realize how fat I was in my starting pic. I was size 2x or 18-20. Now I am Medium in tops and around size 8 in pants, depending on the store. Anyway, I found it pretty helpful to see the progress. I see that I (a) need to start saving for a circumferential body lift, and (b) still could stand to lose a few more pounds. So I am happy that I have recently lowered my goal weight to 140 lbs. Hubby also took all my measurements and I put them in MFP. I had never done that before. I am now not so much interested in seeing if the numbers go down with weight loss, but rather, I am interested to keep track because I intend to get back into the gym 2-3 times a week and I am curious to see if I actually increase any of those numbers, with muscle. Yesterday after work I went to the pharmacist for my monthly B12 shot and when she gave me the shot in the arm, she scolded me, “You are losing your muscle! I don’t think the needle hit muscle.” YIKES! (It is supposed to be an intramuscular injection.) So tomorrow morning I am scheduling myself back to the gym. Even if I can only do 2 days a week for now, that is better than no days per week. It would be a start, and at least a way to get back into a habit. Well, that is probably more than enough rambling for one day! I will end by saying that hubby is supportive of my plastic surgery plan, which is if I can maintain being under 150 lbs for one year that I can start planning my circumferential body lift. I have been maintaining ~150 since February 1st, with the help of this challenge, to be quite honest. So, let’s see if I can maintain for a year. I have NEVER done that before. NEVER….
3/16 – 144.0 lbs – Well, I am happy with that number on the scale. I can’t complain, especially since yesterday I kind of came to the conclusion that “under 150” or “around 150” was a good place to try to maintain for a year. Here’s a little update on my goals for this round: So I have yet to eat 1345 calories. I am sitting around 1550/day over the last three days, which honestly, is not that bad. Steps are solidly over 14K for the last three days, which I am proud of. I am not sure how that is possible for yesterday, however, as I had to go in to the office and didn’t walk the dog. My fear is that my Fitbit is counting “typing” as steps. Oops. Hope not. Work is good! 3/3 days so far! Let me see if I can keep the trend going! And I am able to concentrate/focus on tasks for a lot of the day! I seem to crash around 3 pm, but at least before that I do quite well! Fluids, well, I am not able to make it to 10 cups of fluids per day, yet. Yesterday I kind of lost track but I made an effort to constantly be sipping on something. I think I came in at 9/10 cups, which for me is fantastic progress. Lastly, my bed and wake times are doing pretty good. It is good to be working to some kind sleep schedule. As I said, baby steps. Lol. Well, I am off to walk my dog. Have a great day, everyone!! 😊
3/17 – 143.0 lbs – Wow! I am killin it!! Not much time to write/reflect, today, because I had messed up sleep last night and “slept in” till 4:20 AM. Ah, the life of a dog-reactive dog momma!
3/18 – 142.6 lbs – Well, I am not hitting all my goals this round, but I am doing very well with a couple of them and dammit, I am going to focus on the positives! Besides, my weight is going down even though I am not restricting calories very much and I am not over-exercising! I wonder where my body will land!! I am eating around 1550 cals per day, but I also walk my dog quite a bit (almost 25K steps yesterday). I know I set my calorie goal for 1345 this round, as recommended by MFP, but I refuse to go to bed hungry. I eat when I am hungry and I try to remember to stop eating when I am full. (Thanks, Intuitive Eating.) I try to watch a bit in terms of getting in fluids, protein, fibre, nutrients and sufficient carbs (my brain works better when I provide it with enough carbs). But overall, I just look in the fridge and say “what does my body want and need right now?” It seems to work? Also, I am so proud of myself for logging in/going to work every day this past week!! On Monday I logged in even though I wasn’t feeling well and my apartment was a disaster (having my apartment messy gives me a lot of anxiety). I just did it. And did my best. That was HUGE for me. And that turned out to be WAY better than not logging in at all! I have really come a long way with my attitude. And I got quite a bit done this week, and received some positive feedback from my Team Lead! I just can’t get over how some counselling and hard work on my part has paid off in terms of breaking some bad habits – in particular, the terrible habit of perfectionism. I am working so hard at turning off that critical voice inside my head (my father’s voice) that tells me that I am stupid, fat, ugly, no good at anything and just plain disgusting. Eff that and eff him. I am 53 years old and I don’t need to give a crap about that voice anymore. I’m done letting him hurt and control me. I have really come a long way. I’m proud of myself. 😊 Tell me something that YOU are proud of?
3/19 – 142.2 lbs – I have soooo much cleaning to do today. I have asked my dog walker to do Goliath’s second walk, because I don’t think I am going to have enough energy to do all the cleaning plus 2 x 60-90 min walks. Yesterday it felt like all I did was walk the damn dog. Lol. I just know that I only have so much energy in a day. Maybe it is because I have chronic insomnia. Maybe it is my fibromyalgia. Who knows. But anyways, as I pointed out in a previous post, starting my work week with a messy apartment just drives me crazy. I think it is probably related to the critical voice in my head/perfectionist tendencies that I wrote about yesterday. It just gives me a lot of anxiety, and makes it hard for me to concentrate, especially when working from home. I have taken many sick days over the course of my life because “I had to clean the house”. Not exactly healthy behaviour, for sure. This was even prior to Covid and working from home. I just have this weird thing about needing my cleaning done. Some of you may recall that my hubby, Matt, is a trucker. When he comes home, I always say that “Hurricane Matty blew through”. He is not bothered in the slightest by a messy apartment. He sees no problem with leaving dirty dishes on the table or throwing his coat on the sofa instead of hanging it up. He wears his boots into the apartment, and just generally leaves a trail of destruction behind him. Lol. The first few years together this drove me crazy and I would constantly nag at him to clean up after himself and also call his mother and snark at her for not training him better. LOL! But over time I realized that it honestly just doesn’t bother him, and the only one that was unhappy was me, and all my nagging was (a) getting me nowhere and (b) negatively impacting our relationship. I came to the conclusion that it bothers ME, not him. Therefore, since I am the one with the perfectionist issues, I should pick up anything that bothers me. If he lived on his own, he would not have a problem with his coat lying on the sofa. And after all, this is his home too, not just mine. So I shut my mouth and pick up anything that bothers me. I think that would bother a lot of people and make them think that I am not a feminist and enabling his bad habits. That might be true. But he does a LOT of other different things around the apartment and for me and he has a tonne of other strengths and brings a LOT to the relationship that I appreciate very much and never want to be without. And I know I also do things that irritate him and he puts up with. So, I pick up after him. It doesn’t bother me anymore. I am learning that love is give and take, not “my way or the highway”, which was my attitude in all of my relationships prior to Matt. And that did not work out well for me. LOL. Nobody has ever loved me the way Matt does. To him I am the prettiest, the smartest, the funniest, and the most capable. To have someone believe in me like that… is worth throwing some McDonalds wrappers in the garbage. 😊 Not sure why I am going on about that in a weightloss forum. Lol. Probably related in some way to me feeling like I may be at a point in my life where I could possibly maintain this weight loss (because I am happier than I have ever been and I have the unending support of my partner). I’m open to feedback on this, folks!! 😊 Anyway. I am up drinking coffee right now but I am definitely going to have to go back to bed at some point. My sleep is totally messed up (again). Why did I drink coffee last night at 6 PM? Well, let’s just say that was not the best decision I could have made… One positive is that my weight is down a bit. I am back down to where I was when I had gastroenteritis last week, but this time without barfing and pooping my guts out and not eating for 3 days. I thought I would see an uptick on the scale as I ate 2000 calories yesterday. But I also went to the gym to do my weights as well as walked just over 28K steps. I always eat more on the days I do weights, so I just don’t beat myself up about it. I find I am always a bit hungrier, which I read is somewhat common. According to MFP (which is connected to my Fitbit) I burned 1672 calories yesterday, which I know is likely way higher than the actual. But that is still a lot more than MFP usually indicates, for me. I’ll just roll with it. My right arm is aching, after doing weights, where I had the IV in my arm when I went to the ER. That strikes me as weird, as that was 11 days ago. I do still have a huge bruise there on my arm, so that may be why. Well, we have 4 days left of this challenge. Let’s see what we can do to end on a good note. Maybe I can get below 142? Let me try!! Have a great and successful day today, everyone. 😊
3/20 – 143 lbs – A little blip up from yesterday, no biggie. Still doing very well, for this round, in terms of the scale. I had a great sleep last night! 9 UNINTERUPPTED HOURS!! This is highly unusual, for me. I am running a bit late now, as I neglected to set an alarm. (I didn’t think it was necessary, as I’ve been waking up super early for weeks.) But that’s okay, I should still be able to log in on time today, if I drink this coffee quickly. My dog will start whining to go out soon, I am sure. I am scheduled to go to the gym today, after work, but I don’t think I will go today as my right arm and now shoulder is aching. I’m not sure what I did to it. But I may have hurt it when I went to the gym on Saturday morning. I’ll see how it is for tomorrow. Well, I better go walk my dog. Have a great Monday. 😊
3/21 – 144 lbs – Uh-oh. Scale is going in the wrong direction. I have been so hungry these past few days. I’ve eaten over 2100 cals on Sat/Sun/Mon. ☹ I remember last month I got really hungry around the 25th and then a couple of days later I got my TOM - I was able to read back in this journal, actually, to check, which is nice. I also noted that I didn’t mention my TOM in January, but I did talk about being super hungry and full of rage around the same time-frame. LOL!! So possibly that is what’s going on. If I remember correctly, the way I got a handle on things last month was to start pre-logging my day, so I have done that for today. We have one more weigh-in for this round, and I want to make it count!! FTR, it looks like after my TOM arrived last month my calories went down again, so… fingers crossed. So much of what we do seems to be controlled by hormones, man. I really need to learn more about this.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 217 (my 148th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine you are a star!
Goal for this round; again I'm not looking at a specific number, any loss and keeping clear of binges, keep within calories & macros. I can do this but, consistency is paramount, let’s do it again for just for 10 days as the reward is great!!Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 130. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

***************************************
3/11 150.2 (trend 151.9)
3/12 151.6 (trend 151.8)
3/13 151.6 (trend 151.8) Had a poor night's sleep, OH chose to sleep in a different room after not speaking to me all day, he's so stubborn sometimes. Woke at 4am and knew I wasn't going to get back to sleep as I was fretting about an early appointment at the doctors for a cervical screening, yuck. So got up, weighed and made a coffee. Not sure I'm going to make it to the gym today as I'm really tired. My weight is really resisting my efforts, but I refuse to drop below 1200 calories or increase my exercise any further as I will make myself ill. Better just to keep doing what I'm doing, at least I'm lighter than I was at the start of the year and much fitter.
2hrs strength training, 1hr walking yesterday, and I forgot to have dinner, so under calories, oops. Craving carbs today, I need the energy. Round goal weight is set for basically the same weight I was at the start of last round, so should be doable. I am leaving for a week in Portugal on the last day of this round so I want to give this round my 100%... except not today!
3/14 150.6 (trend 151.6) I didn't do any exercise yesterday. I had a busy morning with a Dr appointment, then decided to go and use a sunbed to get a bit of base colour on my skin. Not something I've done for many years, and I've only done 3 or 4 times ever, but I'd forgotten how warm and relaxing it is, even if it is so bad for you! Once in a while can't matter that much, can it?
My weight is down today but I think it's just dehydration as my eyes felt really puffy when I woke up. I went over calories by a few hundred, I just felt like taking it easy. Had my first hot cross bun of the year, soooo good!
I haven't planked for a few days, need to get back on it.
3/15 147.2 (trend 151.0) What the heck? I couldn't believe my eyes, 3.4lbs gone over night! I am late posting today as I couldn't really process the number. I think some will come back tomorrow as I've been very thirsty so think I'm still dehydrated. Hopefully not all of it will come back though...
3/16 150.8 (trend 151.0) As expected, back up again, sigh. Definitely just water weight, but what I don't know is if I'm retaining water or just normally hydrated. I thought about taking water pills but think it's a bad idea, if my body is retaining water then there must be a good reason for it. At this point I can't see myself getting solidly into the 140s ever, gah, never mind the almost 30lbs I want to lose to get to my goal weight of 122.4!
3/17 151.4 (trend 151.0) Argh, so infuriating! Met all my targets yesterday, strength training for 1hr, over 10,000 steps, calories within range, lots of water. Sigh. Well, the positives are I'm progressing well with weights, it was legs day and I made improvements on all my sets. Planking is getting better, I can do 3 x 1 minutes with 90 seconds rest between, before I was spreading it out during the day. I have ordered some resistance bands to take to Portugal next week as I will have a lot of time free because OH will be working so I will be able to keep up with the workouts. I'm determined not to come back with a gain.
My DD's granddad's funeral will be on the 4th April so I'm relieved that I will be back by then. No news from her father though, I think he has cut contact from all his family, he's really taking it badly. He's currently on a boat somewhere in the English channel, I hope he's OK. Not really fair to be worrying everyone at a time such as this.
3/18 150.8 (trend 151.0) I had a bit of a crappy start to the day yesterday. I was really down about my weight going back up and feeling like I'm getting nowhere. I was angry, confused and resentful that I felt like I would have to restrict for the rest of my life just to stay where I'm at. OH gave me some home truths from his perspective. He said that he's tired of always hearing about how unhappy I am and that I have become obsessed with weightloss and it's vain and boring. That I used to have hobbies and be more fun, but now I'm just hyper focused and am not contributing anything positive towards our home or life together. He has a point, but one of my main reasons for me wanting to lose weight and become fitter is because of the many many times in the past when I've avoided doing something fun or adventurous because I was too self-conscious and ashamed of how I look. So this is my way of trying to ensure I don't ruin any more holidays or days/nights out due to feeling so uncomfortable and embarrassed. I'm trying to fix something that makes me unhappy, but in the process I'm making others unhappy. Anyway, I went to the gym after that but tried to have the mentality of doing it because it feels good and gives me a dopamine release, and to be proud of my body and what it can achieve.
I really could have just done with him giving me a hug and saying he understands, but hey ho, he can't help the way he feels and neither can I.
3/19 150.4 (trend 150.9) Shopping trip yesterday to buy some clothes for going away next week. What is it about changing room mirrors and lights that makes cellulite look soooo much worse? Didn't manage to find a swimming costume, nothing has the support or room I need in the bust area. I have a 32 inch back but heavy GG cup (US J cup) and I find it impossible to find a one piece that works for me. I think it's probably going to be too cold for unheated pools anyway, so I'm not that concerned this time.
Got caught in a downpour with paper bags full of shopping, which had dissolved by the time I made it to the car, no idea how I managed to avoid dropping it all in a puddle! Treated myself to a fancy, healthy Katsu curry and dimsums from Marks and Spencers, I haven't had a prepackaged ready meal in a long time and it was so good. I also got a couple of Tsingtao beers as I needed to de-stress. Over my calories by 500ish but I'm not feeling bad about it. Not sure if I'm going to gym today, I should as I didn't yesterday but then I need energy for other chores and packing to go away. We'll see.
3/20 149.2 (trend 150.7) I'm surprised to see a drop today, I didn't get all my steps in and went over on calories by 200, very encouraging! I've had a lot more fibre the last few days, and more tmi, so maybe that helped? Thinking of adding fibre supplements into my diet. Only 4.5hrs sleep, but I'm feeling good, might need a nap later.
3/21 150.2 (trend 150.6) This is my end of round weight, as I won't be able to weigh tomorrow due to traveling. I'm down 1.4lbs which I'm pleased with. Still hanging on to the 150s, but I have visited the 140s a couple of times this round, which is exciting! Although I'm preparing myself for a few more weeks of being in the low 150s as travelling for the next week is likely to send me in the wrong direction.
My plan for next week is to fit in as much walking and cycling as possible, do a morning strength routine every day, eat lots of salad and protein and try to limit alcohol ... and to have fun!

GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 217
Round 217
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.
3/17 – 136.0 Thank goodness for tracking as I know yesterday’s choices should have netted out at pretty much a draw and not a gain. I did a 4 lap walk, as well as landscaping (raking and shoveling) on the condo property. I tracked everything eaten yesterday but it was out to eat, and maxed out my calories. Trying to stay honest with myself, good or bad. Today, I have pre-tracked a general plan for the appetizers I will eat with the guests today. A secondary benefit of pre-tracking (secondary to knowing the predicted calories) is that if I go off course, since I already have the “types” in my diary, it is very quick and easy to edit the quantity. Makes regrouping on the fly so much easier.
3/18 – 134.8 So yesterday, I did skip walking (had to make cat food for difficult kitty), and actually followed my plan for the appetizers (ended up being plenty). After the guests left, and we walked the cats, my husband asked if I would like to go to the new ice cream parlor that our guests recommended. I had options, Yes or No. I decided yes, even though that would put me over my target calories for the day. My reason for this is if this is going to work in the long run, then I need to be able to choose to have a splurge. If I live every day single day in deficit, I will eventually give up which would bring me back to being the binge person that I naturally seem to resort to.
3/19 – 134.4 Week is full of surprises both ways. Yesterday, I had boiled corned beef and potatoes, with sauteed carrots and horseradish butter roasted cabbage topped Horseradish Mustard cream, then followed by Irish cream salted caramel ice cream. It was delicious, and all tracked. Was looking to get out early for a walk/run today, but sitting here in my walking clothing typing instead. :P I will get out there, but likely just at the regular time.
3/20 – 134.2 For whatever reason, I was expecting an up this morning
3/21 – 134.2 Now to just stay on track and I will be thrilled with how this round ended!

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...
3/17 - 117.7kg / 259.5 lbs / 18st 8lbs - Wow, that was a struggle. God I was craving a big greasy pizza, eurgh. Ended up eating Melon and Mango to stave off the hunger. Still, the scale is trending the right direction.. Although I fully expect a few bumps in the road to be coming soon...
3/18 - 118.1kg / 260.4 lbs / 18st 9lbs - Damn it, eating was good through the day but I had a takeaway, can't complain about 0.4 too much.
3/19 - 118.5kg / 261.3lbs / 18st 10lbs - I just fall apart at weekends I swear...
3/20 - 118.0kg / 260.2 lbs / 18st 9lbs - Back on track, I need to try and remain disciplined over the weekend, but it's hard when out with friends and family I swear. Also St Patricks Day meant I had to drink Guinness... So I blame that haha. Anyway, Monday morning now and back to it, LESSSS GO!
3/21 - 117.3kg / 258.5lbs / 18st 6.6lbs - Lovely jubbly, good calorie day yesterday and it shows. Hopefully a few more good weeks and I'll be able to fit back into my running clothes, but for now I'm content walking.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

3/13 👍👍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!
3/17 DNW Bad day.
3/18 DNW Thanks for everyone's hugs and support. It really did help writing it out. I'm still dairy free and eating very minimal land meat. So far I haven't had an experience where it's been a problem in social settings and I'm not missing it at home. I'm concerned about an upcoming wedding where I don't want to come off as a health freak with the meat heavy meal they'll be serving. Tonight I've got a party to go to where I can practice saying, "No, thanks. It doesn't agree with me." Who can argue with that? I know who...family. I love them but I need to stay strong for myself.
3/19 DNW Had a grocery shopping date with my husband yesterday. I always scour the fancy cheeses for that 50% sticker they put on it when it's almost at its sell by date. Since I'm still avoiding cheese, we turned our attention to the produce section and to our surprise there were plenty of those stickers on the organic vegetables and mushrooms that otherwise are too pricey to consider. We also found that the organic chicken really isn't much more expensive than regular. Since it's a staple in our diet, the switch to antibiotic free chicken is something we can commit to. It was good to have that time shopping together and a fun day date.
3/20 DNW So much for no added sugar or milk. I had two slices of tres leches cake yesterday and it was delicious. It was so good I had to have a second slice, but, I waited a few hours between them so that I could give my stomach a chance to process all the dairy and sugar and my brain a chance to savor it. There was more cake left in the fridge and I left it there for another day = not a binge for me. A well-deserved indulgence, I think.
3/21 DNW Tomorrow is weigh in Wednesday. I haven't been logging consistently lately. I'm think I'm getting tracking fatigue.

Hi All - Robyn yo-yo here! I'm in for another round. I lost around four pounds during round 215 only to gain it back during 216, so I'm a bit frustrated with myself but not giving up. My goal is to stop fooling around and to lose 10-14 pounds over the next 6 rounds (by May).

3/21: 145.6 - It was hard yesterday but I pretty much stuck to my food plan and got in a 45-minute workout on the Peloton. It paid off. I'm over 2 pounds down today, BUT it was SOOOO hard not to get into snacking at around 2 p.m. I prevailed by reminding myself that when I snack that close to dinner, I usually end up getting into multiple snacks and not just the one. Today will be tougher because I'll be attending a professional event at a brewery. I will include one high calorie hazy IPA in my food plan for the day.

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 - 182
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.
3/17 - 181
Ok, I did it. One day no snack bingeing. Calories were below goal, too, so my anniversary pasta & chocolate will come off. I also was short on water yesterday and ate dinner later than usual because Booker had doggy school. It’s a cold, rainy, dreary day here so I probably won’t get much of a walk, darn it. I did finally start the painting that’s been nagging at me— hope to finish it today or tomorrow. Yay! Getting that out of my head will help a lot. Salad for lunch. Don’t know what DH is planning for dinner.
3/18 - 180.6
Amazing how easy it is to gain, how hard to lose it again. Jeesh. But I’m moving the right direction at least. And that darn painting that’s been hanging over me is almost finished. Yay! It’s really been cold and windy here yesterday and today, but Booker learned a few new tricks and yesterday passed his Novice Trick Dog - Master test, his 4th trick dog title in 9 days. 😁 for that one we had to turn in videos of 10 tricks. Lots of fun! And…two days snack/binge free. Another yay!
3/19 - 180.2
Ok, I see the flaw in my snack/binge-free tracking system….How to mark days I slipped? Or don’t? Is the hundred day goal for 100 binge-free days extending however long it takes to hit 100, or is it a finite 100 days with (ideally, no snacking/bingeing? Cuz I slipped last night. I think I’m going to record the slip while still aiming for the 100 days, if that makes sense.
3/20 - 180
Good day yesterday, though I did have some plain air-popped popcorn last night so got a ^ on my tracker. But it’s ok, it wasn’t a binge! I finished the painting (pic below) finally, so that monkey is off my back. It took three months of procrastinating and two days of painting. Duh. It’s a bit warmer today, so I’m about to pack Booker into the car and go to one of our lovely parks for a walk. Maybe I should paint him next! Have a great day, everyone!
3/21 - 180
This is a hard barrier to break through—it was last time, too. But I shall! And I didn’t snack last night, so there’s that.

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.
3/17 - 175.4 - Was definitely bloated...but I still need to work on activity/exercise. Did get in a great hike with lots of hills yesterday....and a good thing as it's miserable and raining today which is going to make the trails horrible for the next while, I'm going to have to come up with another routine that gets my blood pumping. I think we'll be heading to the pub for some Irish fare and a few pints when hubby gets home from his ski patrol shift (what he's patrolling in the rain I don't know) so just some eggs and fruit for breakfast and probably veggies and hummus for lunch to save up those calories for a steak and guiness pie and a pint.
3/18 - 175.4 - Weighed in this morning but didn't get a chance to post as we left early for a campus open house at one of the schools DS17 is looking at applying to in the fall. LOTS of walking!!! And they had water refilling stations all over campus so I had no excuse but to keep filling my bottle up.
3/19 - 175.8 - frustrated...but will persist. Had a great sleep last night, but still feel run down/low energy. This is how I usually feel in Feb, not when the days are starting to get longer.
3/20 - 174.6 - better! Sunny day for the beginning of spring! We still have a fair bit of snow on the ground...but I'll get out there with the dog and see what shape the trails are in. I need to dig out my summer clothes to start getting organized for our trip next week. I'm curious to see how everything fits compared to the end of the season when I put them away, I'm definitely at least 10lbs lighter.
3/21 - 173.4 - YES! Been waiting for something under 174 for 2 weeks! Lots of activity yesterday and good tracking/calorie management. Not sure how today is going to go. Tentative plans to go to drop in choir at a pub with a girlfriend but hubby bunged up his foot...he's on his way to the Dr now. Hoping it's not as bad as he thinks it is...his ski season will be done and it could really mess up our trip next week as the plan was for LOTS of walking.

3/21 - 159.2 - I'm so horrendously bloated but I figured out that it's TOM deciding to drop in for another visit... Aha! I was wondering what was going on and why I felt like this. These last few days have been so crazy and hectic that I'm on autopilot and losing track of time that I didn't realize. Today I got up and did cardio sprints on the rower. It is lightly raining but enough that combined with the colder morning temps, kept BF and I inside. He did the stationary bike for his run training. Tomorrow should be better - warmer and drier and I can resume W2D2 after my bodyweight workout is done. I've only got enough salad greens for a side salad and no more dressing. Will have to figure out what I can make up with those. Maybe a grilled chicken wrap? Will have to keep it light as it's Taco Tuesday and dinner is always a bit of a calorie bomb.
3/22
Previous Day's Comments3/13 - Just like last round, I end up with a woosh on the first day and it gets me right to my goal. Hopefully this round I'll be able to maintain it and not having any big bloating days. Need to figure out how to get both bodyweight and run in. I'm about to do bodyweight but with this daylight savings time, sunrise isn't until after 7am when I have to be on the computer. I'm thinking, since almost nobody is on until after 8am, I'll hop on work for a bit, go run when it gets lighter out, and then resume work after. BF running, too, and he may run in the dark and if that's the case, I'll do that, too. I feel better with another person out there with me in the dark (wildlife, not monsters haha!!!)
3/14 - No sudden movements or you may scare the scale back up... I figured I'd see an uptick today after a heavy dinner. I do have leftovers for lunch so tomorrow may still show an uptick, especially with chicken enchiladas for dinner tonight. Once I post, I'm doing my rowing machine sprints as cross training. I'm procrastinating due to a morning tension headache. I need a new pillow better for back sleepers (which I seem to have become in the last two weeks or so...) Anyway, much warmer inside and the pups don't feel as left out. Like last night, I'll likely take them for a walk.
3/15 - All good. I managed to avoid a stress eating incident by allowing myself one peanut butter dark chocolate granola bar and I'm very proud of that. I'll wear this slight uptick like a badge of honor for what it really means. I was already over calories based on pre-logging lunch and dinner. I had hoped an after dinner walk and movement through day would help. Unfortunately, work popped off and I found out I had about 5-6 days worth of work to somehow finish by end of day. Working overtime about 2.5 hours, it's all on my mentor's desk (mountain time so an hour behind me) for review. Should give me plenty of time this morning to take a short hiatus for my run once the sun shows it's beautiful face. I did end up with a very short after dinner walk with pups. The cows were on the road near my turnaround point and I was unsure how cows would react to the dogs. Something's better than nothing! Assuming MFP and Fitbit estimate calories burned high, I was MFP= 300 over and Fitbit = 200 over so either slight deficit or around maintenance. MFP makes me assume, for the sake of notes to reflect on, maintenance calories for the day. Today may be another stressful work day so I'm about to try to get all that stress from yesterday knocked out with bodyweight and then with running before replenishing it hahaha. Better than doubling up on it! Hoping another evening walk with the pups. Storms forecast tomorrow so I'll really try for their sakes to get them out. They love it and I'm a sucker for those puppy dog eyes (especially since there's a true "puppy" doing them. He's gooooood at getting me to melt). Off I go for this workout!
3/16 - Whew. I was a bit worried as I couldn't track anything last night but relied on memory to get it done this morning (I did). I just couldn't see if I was going over my calories. Ended up having a last minute bike night from the local store (where we purchased the dirtbikes. Much nicer than the motorcycle club situations. Plus female riders welcome, which is a first. Guess I better get my butt back on the bike and practice to ride into town). BF smoked a beer can chicken and baked beans so we ate before we left. But I did indulge in beer while there and hanging out which wasn't planned. It didn't make for a very restful night, though. I ended up waking up to my alarm only to come curl up on the couch until my 7am work alarm (which my desk was 2 steps away). The pups joined me which I'm sure was a sight. A full grown woman with 2 40+ pound dogs on a tiny loveseat. But it was cozy and they kept me warm since I didn't have a blanket. Today was a scheduled rest day but BF took Harley for a run and poor Smoke was whining the entire time so now I have to take him for a walk in a few once it's a little brighter. Damp and foggy but no storms, thankfully, as forecasted. No idea on dinner but lunch will likely be another salad again using up the leftover chicken from enchiladas and all those veg before they go bad.
3/17 - No hugs, just bloated. I knew the second my alarm went off and I stood up out of bed the scale would be up. I can feel the puffiness and heaviness. Looking in the mirror only confirmed. It'll drop off today or tomorrow. Yesterday I had every computer issue you could think of and then internet went out. All is good this morning with access to everything but I have 3 deadlines today and I'm certainly not finishing them after fighting technology all day rather than making progress on work. Stress will be a huge factor. Will need to stay mindful and remind myself that it is absolutely NOT my fault. Today is bodyweight and 5k training. I'm unsure about the running, though. It's 37, feels like 26 with 35mph winds and gusts of 45-50mph. I can hear the wind right now and it sounds simply awful. Rather than catch up today and tomorrow (Week 2 day 2 and W2D3 respectively) to start Week 3 on Monday like the app is set up for, I may end up pushing it out. Tomorrow morning has a chance of snow! IN TEXAS! Nope, no slick road running for me. I have enough injuries, I don't need more! With that said, food will be a little more restricted than days with both workouts. Lunch was out yesterday so I still have salad stuff for lunch today. Unsure dinner at this point. BF is skipping workouts today due to weather so it'll be later before we determine dinner.
3/18 - DNP
3/19 - Yesterday I woke up to a very s%^&&* situation. Literally. One of the dogs pooed and then our robot vacuum tried to vacuum it. The entire half of the house smelled like nasty poo as it was smeared a good chunk of it and the entire vacuum had to be thrown out. I ended up not finishing my journaling because I couldn't stand to be in the room any longer (windows open at 35 degrees with fans blowing plus the smell). Didn't check in, either as my computer was in here. Didn't weight in because dogs also conveniently woke me up at 3am..... Awful day. Didn't do any of my habits yesterday and therefore also didn't weigh in today. I may not even weigh in tomorrow depending on how well today goes. Today is at least better starting off...
3/20 - Monday has attacked. I think things have calmed down a bit so I can function a bit better, but it was still a hectic morning. I was getting phone calls at 630! I normally don't log on until 7 and my bodyweight workout was interrupted. Fortunately I was able to finish it and get 5 minutes on the rower (in lieu of running) before another work call came in. I didn't finish rowing nor did I run or take Smoke for a walk (Harley went with BF this morning). It's nearly lunch break so, since I'm still in workout clothes, I'll take Smoke for a quick walk and shower during that break and eat lunch while working a bit later in the day. I was feeling super bloated today so I decided to forego weighing in. Too much mentally going on to add another thing right now. Will do so tomorrow. Entire weekend of posts to catch up on now so I'll be doing that during my various work breaks!

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 fiber, especially from grains. I'll try oatmeal again.

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: 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.

3/19: DNW (got up at 4am to travel to Albany, NY) Rowed/Biked✔ Water✔ Calories✔
3/20: 175.9 Rowed/Biked: No. Water: Not enough. Calories: Maintenance
My husband and I drove 8 hours to and from Albany, NY, yesterday. We took food with us and as always, I never seem to take enough. I was starving when we got home, so I ate at maintenance, but very happy that I did not do as I would have done in the past and mindlessly eat everything in the house. A huge accomplishment for me since I was emotionally and physically exhausted (MIL has a terminal illness and we were visiting with her).
3/21: 175.9 Rowed/Biked: No. Water:✔ Calories: Maintenance
I don't expect the scale to move for a few days because I've eaten at maintenance for 2 days. Yesterday, I didn't get the most bang for my calories. At the end of day I was shaky and had hit my calorie limit. Instead of starving for 3 hours or bingeing, which is what I used to would have done because my brain was effed up and thinks because I went over my limit, I blew it so eat everything in sight - nope, not any more! I tracked what I ate and kept it at maintenance instead. Good choice!
3/22:
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)! Part of this challenge, too, is if I do have a slip, that I don't revert back to old habits of bingeing for days/weeks/months. I will acknowledge the slip, celebrate that it didn't derail me, and just keep on keeping on.I want to see what happens when I don't give up!100-day Binge-free Challenge starting March 6….

5 -
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).
3/17/23: 235.4 (-3.6), BF%=32.4 (-0.8). I love raspberry jelly doughnuts. A coworker brought doughnuts to work yesterday, offered me some, and there was a raspberry jelly doughnut available. My "rule" normally (when I'm trying to be healthy) is that I will only indulge in something when I REALLY want it. I REALLY WANTED IT. Then I thought... I didn't really make this choice. If someone would have asked me if I wanted a doughnut (if they were going out to pick some up, for instance), I would have said no. I get to make my own choices. I said no, and I stayed away from that doughnut all day... other than going to look at it one time.
3/18/23: 235.6 (+0.2), BF%=32.5 (+0.1). I got a little "snacky" last night. I was about to say that hummus is a hard snack for me, but that would only be true if I did not have means to measure things out (which I do). It's amazing how little I question some of the things I tell myself. Being mindful (aware) of those thoughts is fun. Or at least interesting. I'm going to measure my hummus next time. Tonight is dinner out with friends, and then we're going to a bar to watch the UCLA basketball game. I would not drink tonight if I were not going out, particularly since I'm still on-call for work... so I'm not going to drink. I love alcohol (even in a relatively healthy way, I think), but we're gonna stay on a break until at least Tuesday, which means I'll likely be on a break until next Thursday night (my workweek is M-Th). I'm going to clean out my garage for the next few hours, which will involve moving some things around and "some" heavy lifting, which should get my heart rate up. Wish me luck!
3/19/23: 236.6 (+1.0), BF%=32.6(+0.1). I'm not loving the numbers, but I was able to eat within reason last night (out with friends), and I did not have any alcohol. It helped that none of my friends were drinking, either, but I would normally have still had a drink or two with dinner. Venturing into TMI territory, I think my weigh-in will be better tomorrow, as today I had some post weigh-in activities that would likely make things a bit "lighter." Getting used to the idea of weighing myself every day, and not freaking out by any single day (no matter which way it goes). Still struggling to get in some exercise, but there are extenuating circumstances. Sort of. I have a rowing machine in the house that has been neglected. Maybe I'll give it a spin today.
3/20/23: 234.4 (-2.2), BF%=32.2 (-0.4). Really noticing right now how little food I need to feel satisfied. I'm not starving myself, but I'm trying to focus on eating only when I'm hungry. I need to remember how well this works.
3/21/23: 234.6 (+0.2), BF%=32.2 (0.0). I was pretty good yesterday. There are little fluctuations that happen all the time. I'm happy with my progress so far since I've been back. I'm not talking about my weight, by the way. I'm most happy that I haven't skipped a weigh-in, and I've posted every day. If I keep working, the weight will drop; I know this.9 -

@refactored The rower I have is the brand name WaterRower (not sure if others make them now?). We looked at the more traditional rowers online like a concept2 when we decided to go with the WaterRower. I've read the differences and as far as a workout, I don't think there's a lot of difference. The WaterRower has a more realistic feel as if on the water rowing. The sound of course - with Concept2 being a little noisier. I think you get more performance and tracking data with the Concept2. I did notice that WaterRower now has a large performance screen on some models. For me, personally, I'm what I guess you would call a very low-key rower LOL. I don't check my stroke speed, or distance, etc. I get on it, I row with proper form/technique for 30 to 45 minutes (working back to this after surgery and losing a lot of stamina). I like the sound of the water, it's very calming and I like the look of it. As you can tell, I might not be the best person to give a comparison for someone who is performance-driven. If you do eventually get a WaterRower, let me know what you think compared to the others you have used.

@itladyee thank you for the encouragement.
@deepwoodslady I hope your blood pressure increases soon. Do you have someone who can drive you to hospital if you need to go?
@refactored I have two daughters in the area but they both work. I hate to trouble them but if it were a true emergency I would certainly call them or call 911. We do have an ambulance service that takes us part way (end of county line) toward a hospital, then another ambulance from that county meets us there and transports us the rest of the way (yes you are moved from one ambulance to another on the side of the road). In bad accidents and such, airlifting is done which would not pertain to me at this point.
I stopped taking one of my bp meds two nights ago when my blood pressure dropped and I stated getting super dizzy. I am only taking the one in the morning that they gave me (along with a few other meds) when I had my stent last Aug. My blood pressure has come up now to just above normal 100/60. I am definitely feeling much better with less dizziness. I am going to keep watching it and my watch my breathing to make sure the stent didn't close. If I can get that bottom number consistently up to 65 or more I will take the Lisinipril again. After all, I have been on that med for about 7 or 8 years, long before the stent. I didn't stop the morning one because they said it was very specific to my stent.
Thanks for the healing thoughts and concern.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.

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.
3/17 127.0 Woke up at 5:20 with cramping in my foot.
3/18 127.5 We decorated cookies at Arts and Crafts - I ate some. Wheat and sugar. Meeting fam for breakfast and then haircuts. Haven’t seen GGS for 6 weeks! Eight weeks from today we board a ship for 2 weeks. I need to get my “TMI” together. I need to put on my gym shoes and then actually GO THERE! The brain and body function better on ketones than carbs - less brain fog and more fat burn.
3/19 128.0 Throwing away the junk carbs. I have zero willpower!
3/20 128.0 My stomach felt off all day yesterday and still isn’t happy. @SModa thanks for the reminder about Miralax and I’m making my FIRST chia “pudding” with mixed berries.4 -
@deepwoodslady I took lisinopril for 2 or 3 years and finally tied that to my vertigo. The doctor didn’t like my self experimentation but I didn’t like feeling off balance all the time!3

03/19 -188.2- (Trend weight 190.4)
03/20 -188.6- (Trend weight 190.4) I had to cancel the appointments today out-of-town for cardiac rehab and the weird dietician. My blood pressure was running too low all day and night yesterday and the readings were continually abnormal. There was no way I could go to rehab and push myself. The average reading was 81/41 all day. I licked salt off my hand all day and pushed the water. Most of the day was spent laying on the couch with my feet elevated over my heart. I took it easy in a pajama day and had no exercise and very little movement, thus the uptick. Today will be another “take it easy day” as the lack of blood pressure can starve my organs of blood and oxygen. I don’t want anything to shut down or be taxed in any way. Hopefully it will improve today so I don’t have to make that trip to the hospital. We don’t have a hospital in my area or county.
03/21 -188.6- (Trend weight 190.3) I am feeling better today and have managed to raise my bp up to about 100/60 which is better. I have not taken one of my bp meds in two days so that may be helping. I have stuck to my diet plan but am only burning between 1800-1900 calories laying around and taking it easy so no movement on the scale. I did hop on the exercise bike late last night for 20 minutes and felt okay afterward. I’ll probably do that again today. I need to burn some calories, but also to stay conditioned for my rehab Thursday so the workout there doesn’t kill me! I’ve been sticking to my diet plan real well but boy oh boy, did I ever wake up hungry today! It’s going to be challenging! Last weigh-in tomorrow, Let’s make today count!
03/22 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

@quiltingjaine Your GGS is so adorable. They grow up so fast! Also, I have to say, you look great. Your arms are so tone. What exercises do you do besides lifting your 9 month old GGS ? 1
