    @GirlOnTheRebound There are dozens of recipes available for fat bombs. Here is one site - https://www.delish.com/cooking/g4845/keto-fat-bomb-recipes/

    They are bite size snacks. You can make them super simple or more elaborate-like peanut butter cups or “Better than Mounds.” They may call for some grocery items you don’t have on hand but they should be readily available.

    My 9th Round
    Age 53, 5’5”
    June 2005: 345 lbs (Highest known weight before WLS Aug 2005)
    January 2022: 220 lbs
    Weight Beginning this Round: 141.8 lbs
    Goal Weight: 135 lbs

    This round's daily goals:
    1. Stay “Under” in MFP 10/10 days –
    2. 6 cups fluids 10/10 days –
    3. 10-min guided meditation 10/10 days -
    4. Attend work 5/5 days –
    5. Gym strength training 3/10 days -


    4/2 – 141.8 lbs – I am waffling a bit on the goals I’ve set for myself for this round. I wrote them yesterday when I was feeling a bit down, and now today I am feeling a bit better and the goals seem “too easy”. That being said, I had a lot of “unhappy” faces last round and I was thinking that maybe I need to make my goals more achievable. It’s hard to find that balance. Anyone else struggle with that? Anyway, I guess I will leave them as is, because I really want to focus on (a) getting to work every scheduled day and (b) getting to the gym 3 times over the next 10 days. Today I am not too concerned with getting down to 135 lbs, which is the goal weight I set a couple of rounds ago. To be honest, I am not going to be crushed if I don’t EVER get to 135 lbs. Lol. I honestly don’t think it’s necessary for me to go that low. Plus I’ve been told by my plastic surgeon that I have 5-10 lbs of skin on my body, still, that needs to be removed, so…. As I have stated before on here my “real” goal is so stay below 150 lbs for 1 entire year. I achieved 150 lbs on February 1, 2023, so if I can make it to February 1, 2024 I will start seriously planning and saving for my next plastic surgery, which will be a circumferential body lift. Actually, you know what, I should probably start saving for it now. Lol. It is probably going to be pretty expensive… Okay, I just lost an hour Googling the cost of lower body lifts near me. Haha! And yes, I better start saving NOW. Gulp!

    @deepwoodslady HAHA! Here in Ontario it seems to be around $20,000, but I didn't really get a good idea of what that includes. (IE, a butt lift, etc.?) I did send a request for a consult so I'll keep ya posted. ;)

    @shmmm3 I just downloaded the App! I love this! I'm looking over the website now too. I'm bringing it forward to this round since others may not have seen it since it was posted the last day of Round 218. Thanks for sharing!!

    Edit - I just purchased the ebook from Dr. Greger - How not to Die as well as downloaded the How Not to Diet App. Thanks again @shmmm3 !! <3

    Overview
    New York Times Bestseller

    “This book may help those who are susceptible to illnesses that can be prevented.”—His Holiness the Dalai Lama

    “Absolutely the best book I’ve read on nutrition and diet” –Dan Buettner, author of The Blue Zones Solution

    From the physician behind the wildly popular Nutrition Facts website, How Not to Die reveals the groundbreaking scientific evidence behind the only diet that can help prevent and reverse many of the causes of disease-related death.

    In How Not to Die, Dr. Michael Greger, the internationally-renowned nutrition expert, physician, and founder of NutritionFacts.org, examines the fifteen top causes of premature death in America—heart disease, various cancers, diabetes, Parkinson's, high blood pressure, and more—and explains how nutritional and lifestyle interventions can sometimes trump prescription pills and other pharmaceutical and surgical approaches to help prevent and reverse these diseases, freeing us to live healthier lives.

    The simple truth is that most doctors are good at treating acute illnesses but bad at preventing chronic disease. The fifteen leading causes of death claim the lives of 1.6 million Americans annually. This doesn't have to be the case. By following Dr. Greger's advice, all of it backed up by strong scientific evidence, you will learn which foods to eat and which lifestyle changes to make to live longer.

    History of prostate cancer in your family? Put down that glass of milk and add flaxseed to your diet whenever you can. Have high blood pressure? Hibiscus tea can work better than a leading hypertensive drug-and without the side effects. Fighting off liver disease? Drinking coffee can reduce liver inflammation. Battling breast cancer? Consuming soy is associated with prolonged survival. Worried about heart disease (the number 1 killer in the United States)? Switch to a whole-food, plant-based diet, which has been repeatedly shown not just to prevent the disease but often stop it in its tracks.

    In addition to showing what to eat to help treat the top fifteen causes of death, How Not to Die includes Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen -a checklist of the twelve foods we should consume every day. Full of practical, actionable advice and surprising, cutting edge nutritional science, these doctor's orders are just what we need to live longer, healthier lives.

    @fmfdfa2020 High five! The How Not to Diet book came in yesterday for me and so far I've learned that he's a big proponent of fasting and time restricted eating of whole plant foods. It feels great to wander into these resources. It answers so many of my questions. @HoopsGuy72 the nutritionfacts.org has a number of really interesting videos on 💩 that I found after our chat.

    🥬🫚🥦🍎Daily Dozen checked and I'm stuffed. All day I felt like my belly was going to pop and husband and I certainly had more BMs in a day than we are used to. I thought I was eating a lot of fiber already but these past two days of eating has been an eye opener. All that's left is to go to bed on time. Eating window is closed for the day and I don't want another morsel of food. I think that I might be over serving myself because this was too much food for me to comfortably handle. Tomorrow I'm going to measure out the serving sizes and hopefully that will make it more doable. Also, today would have been easier if I'd snacked on my needed servings of vegetables instead of doubling my fruit servings early in the day. I'll try to front load with grains and vegetables tomorrow and see if that helps. On to meal prepping!

    64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 219 (my 150th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine you are a star!
    Starting this round at the same weight as last. Goal for this round; I really need to continue to reverse this increasing trend, again I'm not looking at a specific number, any loss and keep my binge free streak going, keep that April Fool’s dunce’s hat in the corner! – be mindful when I’m tempted! Keep within calories & macros. I can do this but, consistency is paramount, let’s do it for just 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. A healthy lifestyle has to be a permanent way of life.
    End of round 69 134.2 lbs

    4/1 140.4 - I treated yesterday as a reset day; thought hard about what food I would be eating during the day, pre-logged it all, stuck rigidly to it & really pushed the water. So, this round has seen me being an April Fool; 2.6 pounds gained ughh! But, I’m pushing that Fool’s hat off and making the next really count, bring it on!! Started my binge free challenge again yesterday! 8.03 miles walked.

    SW RND 219 139.8

    4/2 139.8 – 8.6 miles walked. Starting this round at the same weight as last. Want to try to be at a lower number by the end ! Good food day yesterday, stuck to pre-logged plan again. Feeling better physically & mentally, just a couple of pounds makes such a difference!
    4/3 139.8 – 12.69 miles walked, pre-logging first thing worked again for me. Hoping the scale will start going down soon.

    100-day Binge-free Challenge starting March 31….=1 day.
    ⭐️= 3 days ****

    When I suffer with sciatica I find that walking eases it; it's sitting around that cripples me !

    Thanks for the tip! I haven’t had it before (it’s so painful!) but my experience this weekend has been the same - it’s far worse when I’ve been stationary for a bit. So, I’ve been trying, just very slowly and stiffly! Can’t wait to really get moving again!

    4/02 - 159.4
    4/03 - 157.8 - I stepped on the scale 3 times to make sure it was right because I was in disbelief. I also measured my waist again to realize I have lost a little over an inch there since January 1st! Yesterday I skipped breakfast as I wasn't hungry and only had a small protein bar which was perfect to hold me to lunch, which I raided Fam's fridge for a leftover homemade beef enchilada. FamHubs made beer can chicken and FamWife made some kind of roasted mashed potatoes and a sweet kale salad for dinner. I went back for seconds on the potatoes and salad because I was still hungry and, for once, I didn't leave their house overly stuffed! I felt perfectly satiated. I did indulge in some wine but Fam had our friend's winery's newest red blend I hadn't yet gotten to try. It's their best yet! I was under calories by about 150 according to MFP and Fitbit for the day. I did, however, drink my 90oz water. Despite the water, I wasn't quite expecting I had done enough yesterday to warrant the scale drop so I'm very happy today. I have my kettlebell strength workout and C25K Week 4 on deck this morning. I am moving up to running 3 and 5 minute intervals. Whew! I did remember to put my knee brace on UNDER my leggings in hopes it doesn't slip. These leggings aren't as slippy and smooth on the outside, but I'm hoping that they're tight enough to help keep the brace in place anyway. If this brace ends up staying and helping today, I may need to buy a second for my other knee as it was a bit sore this weekend. I did some stretches while reading last night in hopes to help. I also have some electrolyte vitamin tablets to put in water that have several vitamins and nutrients that supposedly help with muscle recovery.

    Previous Day's Comments
    4/02 - I'm bloated from all the craziness yesterday. I'm actually surprised I'm not up more and, depending on how today goes, I wouldn't be surprised if some of yesterday's intake showed up on the scale tomorrow, too. Today should be better. Once I finish coffee and finish this post, I'm headed to the grocery to do our weekly shopping. Then over to Fam's to replace the exhaust on BF's bike that's over there. Then I'm not sure, but they want to go to this bike show thing at the fairgrounds. Not sure if BF wants to go or not, but we may join them and enjoy a beautiful day outside before we head back home. I'm hoping food will be much better and easier to track today as things are much calmer. I gave up attempting to track after lunch yesterday. I'm sure I was over but I also didn't sit (other than the short drive from one party to the other) from about 3pm to 8:30pm. My trend is slowly increasing from 158.x to now 159.0 so I need to be mindful and careful this week so I can hopefully drop all this bloat and excess water and get solidly into 157.x range (my goal this round)
