    Hello again, I had a false start last round but am really committing to daily weighing/posting this round. It seems like I am all or nothing with weight loss and maintenance. I wish I could do it on my own but it seems like I need external accountability to rein it in. So I'm back!

    I'm Amanda, 5'2" in Virginia.

    R220 Goal Weight - 123.6 lb (which will still put me at 1.6 lb above my maintenance range of 118-122)
    Other R220 goals -
    daily exercise
    16-hour fast 6/10 days
    no mindless snacking

    4/12 - 125.6. Excited to get back to it today! The weather is gorgeous this week so working out outside shouldn't be a problem. Yesterday my husband and I went on a midday road bike ride together, which was awesome! Today will probably just be a dog walk since those pooches and I really need it. I'm also adding back some strength training, and today will be core and upper body. I've been super hungry lately, but I am going to squash my snacking this week.

    4/13 - 124.6 I think? Definitely 124.something but I can't remember. Surprised to see any decrease from yesterday at all. Yesterday I was just trying to comfort my body because I could feel I was coming down with something. Definitely was. Super congested today and tired from a bad night of sleep. I still want to do something active outside today to try to shake it off.
    On an unrelated note, we're getting all the documentation lined up to sell our rental house now! We were supposed to list it next week, but once we got the contract in place with our realtor, he sent the info and the previous listing out to his colleagues, and we got a super aggressive offer (11k over asking, no inspection contingencies) from someone sight unseen. So we are now scheduled to close on May 4th! It might have been wise to hold on to it, but we absolutely hated being landlords. The tenants move out on Saturday, appraisal and termite inspection are scheduled for Monday, and then we should be good to go. It's very exciting, but it still seems too good to be true.

    4/14
    4/15
    4/16
    4/17

    Nice start, Amanda! Best wishes this round!

    @shmmm3 I haven’t tried to sprout beans but I did consider it many years ago. What I read suggested putting them in a jar under the sink. That must have been 30 years ago. I was sure I would forget to take care of them and end up with a jar of mold so I never followed through.

    @Smoda61 Although we have had more rain this year (intermittent, so it doesn’t really seem like much) Lake Mead is seriously low. I hope the Keys get some soon!

    @39flavours. White tongue sounds like a yeast infection. Have you been on antibiotics lately? Both DD and DGGS developed thrush while on antibiotics recently.

    • Calorie cycle for a weekly average of 1200 to 1500
    • Exercise: Row, Walk, Bike, Weights, Pushups, 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 ever have)
    • I need to figure out a way to get more fiber, especially from grains.

    If I quit now, I will soon be back to where I started. And when I started I so desperately wanted to be where I am now.

    HWE: 181.3
    End of Round 219: 171.2

    Round 220
    4/12: DNW Bike ✔ Water ✔ Calories (a little below maintenace - 1671) Got up way too early to weigh.
    4/13: 171.6 I'm really sticking those 171.x's. ;) A drop into the 170's should come soon.🤞 When I want something a little sweet, I've been eating frozen blueberries. They're really good. I'm stopping my pushup challenge for a little while. My arm has been hurting very badly and it may have started around the time I started pushups - not sure, but will lay off for a couple of weeks because I can't row now either, and I really miss rowing! It's going to be warmer in Maine (76) today than Georgia (68) (where my family is). huh?

    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…
    *=1 successful day / ⭐=10 successful days / ^=1 oops Day
    ⭐⭐⭐********

    100-day Sugar-free Challenge starting March 6…
    *=1 successful day / 💚=10 successful days / ^=1 oops Day
    💚💚💚********

    Breaking the salt habit (replace with spices and herbs) starting April 13. Plan: 10 days 1/4 tsp, then 10 days 1/8 tps, and lastly 10 days no added salt.
    ✳= 1 day 1/4 tsp added salt / ✴= 1 day 1/8 tsp added salt / ☑= 1 day 0 added salt

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    180s / 170s / 160s / 150s / 140s / 130s

    Thanks, no, I'm pretty sure it's not a yeast infection as it's not white stuff on my tongue, more like my tongue, gums, cheeks etc look pale and grayish and feel sore but numb, if that makes sense, and my tongue looks weird and cracked. The tongue pressing against the teeth is the most annoying part as it's rubbing in places and leaving teeth marks on my tongue which then hurt. I'll WebMD it and see what comes up.

    @quiltingjaine doesn't it seem like rain tends to land where it is least appreciated?
