OH! @jedaschultz I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. Remember we are always here for you.

tiabirdie56 · March 2023

@jedashultz, My sincere condolences for the loss of your husband.

@quiltingjaine, Yes, Thank you. Finally a more substantial drop in weight. I'm trying something different. I tried to get back on Keto after being ill, but I couldn't sustain it.
I see you have littles company. Enjoy!

@KellyGurl68 I find it easiest to keep my posts in a “Note” in my phone. I add to that daily and copy, then paste to the thread. When I started logging here I could never find my last post. 🤷‍♀️

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 5 years with amazing results!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

Bru with the St Patrick’s cookie I gave him. He has never had “added sugar” but Mama thinks it was the odd texture of a real cookie that he disliked. On the upside (?) the next day his first tooth popped through!

@jedaschultz I am so very sorry for your loss. You and your daughter are in my thoughts and I'm sending all the love and comfort your way

For those of you who feel as if you are starving yourselves and not losing. . . Here is some interesting information from Gary Taubes book.

RenaPink11 · March 2023

New to this challenge. I'm 45. My starting weight was 249 (February 2022) I'm currently 176 and my goal weight is 150. I've been stuck at 174-176 for the last 3 weeks. Ugh. My new fitness goal is to walk/run a 5k! I'm excited for that. I've started using the couch to 5k app. I really shocked myself that I can jog!!!

Goals for the next 10 days: No snacking after dinner/before bed

This challenge will end just as I start a planned diet break in April. I am actually nervous about it. Will I go completely of the rails? Will I be able to stick to maintenance? Will I be able to get back in to it after it is over? I will find out soon!

For these challenges I think I do better if I only have a few goals. So this round I will still keep to the basics: calorie counting and at least 22 active minutes per day.

3/23: 162.7 lbs
I had a hungry day and ate close to maintenance. I was also very inactive step wise although I did reach 22 active minutes on the elliptical but didn't do my usual walk. I am glued to my desk all day. I usually only get up twice: once for a cup of tea and once for lunch and a toilet break. I really should drink more water to force me to get up more often but I feel self conscious getting up a lot. Everybody is glued to their desks where I work.

Hi, I'm Charissa - Round 217

Thank you, again, @QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!

Just going to take it day by day.....again. Seemed to work in 217. I like the dates of this round and my goal is just to maintain. I will be on vacation for 4 days and it could go either way! The nice part is we usually eat at decent restaurants and technically, can't go back for seconds so there's the portion control. The challenge will be offerings of appetizers (guilty) desserts (it depends) and fancy drinks! BUT...there should be lots of walking so my goal is simply to maintain.

Mostly over Covid but still one or two niggly symptoms hanging on.

• In Maintenance since July 2019
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal range

Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessary.
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
March focus:

* maintain weight < 140 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
* Maintain Daily Solid Habits

I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

@smoda61 I love that you take your cats for a walk. Oskar will walk on the leash but hasn’t ventured past the driveway.

@quiltingjaine They count on it every day. This weekend we are hiring a pet sitter for two days. Sure is challenging to find a sitter who is confident in walking cats on a leash. They are actually easy, as they have been doing it for 4 1/2 years, but everyone assuming they will behave like what you imagine a cat on a leash might be like. That's great Oskar goes out. Driveway is plenty good. He is getting enrichment either way. Most of our walks are "wanders" as we don't get far.

I’m back now after a long hard two months. My DH of 38 years passed away on March 9 just two weeks ago today. He was hospitalized for a little over a month and fought hard but he was just too sick. I have a special needs adult daughter to care for and will do my best for her and another daughter and SIL who live nearby. Getting myself healthy is even more of a priority now.

@jedaschultz So sorry for your loss and all you have been through. Glad you are remembering to take care of you. It is so easy to forget. Welcome back!

Looking forward to joining this challenge. My goals for the challenge are to log consistently and to avoid snacking after dinner.
