Do you mind sharing where these courses are? I feel as if I definitely need the Emotional Mastery & Reprogramming Subconscious Beliefs and Release Resentment from Relationships & Truly Forgive courses in my life. I need to take therapy into my own hands now that I can't continue my therapy that helped me so much previously.
Of course!!! The courses are through the site Personal Development School or personal development school.com.
They offer a 7-day trial —which is where I started, but got immediately HOOKED!
I started with the Principles & Tools for Reprogramming the Subconscious Mind course —which gave me all the juicy background on how our subconscious works in terms of our behaviors & emotions. Like I was blown away that 100% of the choices we make are to satisfy a personality need that your subconscious has.
She goes into why we procrastinate & resist when it comes to executing our own conscious intentions & desires that it’s actually out subconscious interfering because our conscious intentions & desires don’t match up with our subconscious needs and with our subconscious making up 95-97% of who we are. We consciously don’t have a chance to fight it off the bat. She teaches you what to do and when to get in there and rewrite our hard-coded programming that does not serve us & conflicts with the ways of being that we consciously intend for ourselves..
Each course has a workbook with a complete series of exercises that you complete where each exercise represents a step in the step-by-step process to do what needs to be done in a constructive, absolute, & healthy way all in effort to get each student to achieving their vision for their life.
There are courses on overcoming addiction, the different attachment styles in relationships, conflict resolution, parenting, self esteem, setting boundaries, codependency & enmeshment, somatic processing to work with your emotions —which she teaches you are actually all considered positive things because they serve as feedback to let you know one or multiple of your various needs are not being met, and a lot more.
I could go on & on. I LOVE this woman. Her name is Thais Gibson. I came across her on YouTube about a month ago when I was searching for self-sabotage videos & the ones from other people resonated enough so that I knew I was on the right track, but then I ran across several of hers and was introduced to the concept of attachment styles which profile how we show up in any interpersonal relationship we have in our life and there are a few that are not considered healthy like Fearful Avoidant, but ultimately we all should aspire to be securely attached.
When I got to that part of the one course where she starts to dig in to needs, I decided to pause that course & start up the one for Discover, Embrace, & Fulfill Your Personal Needs. But even before that after the course on the Subconscious I decided to tackle the one on Mastery of Emotions & went back and forth between them until I completed those.
I will add you as a friend so we can chat about it more if you want and I can give you more details, etc.
I can honestly say it is the best use of my money that I have ever done in a LONG time if not ever. It is literally changing my life for the better making me a better and better wife, momma, daughter, etc.
THANK YOU, it sounds absolutely perfect and what I need. I have a lot of very negative/bad subconscious beliefs from my past that I need to break. Unfortunately, my therapy ended right when we discovered some core issues (being subconscious) and before I could learn how to change/fix things up there in the noggin. This sounds exactly like what I need.
You are amazing for sharing!
AWWW THANK YOU. You made my day!!

My name is Paula and I am a 46 year old 100% service disabled veteran from the Army.
This is my first round. I am a newbie! I am signing up for a variety of challenges to help change my mindset about healthy habits and getting my weight under control. I want a better quality of life where I don’t have to ask my husband to constantly slow down when we are walking because he is going too fast.
I also use Noom, GOLO, and intermittent fasting (IF) using a 16:8 (fasting hours:eating hours) schedule to help affect the change with my weight. I have also DRASTICALLY overhauled my eating habits and what I eat to a more clean way of eating.
Starting weight - 248.0 lbs
Challenge goal weight - 243.0 lbs
4/12 - 248.0 lbs 🆗🚩
4/13 - 248.2 lbs 😕
4/14 - 243.8 lbs 😅🙃 Started going to the gym again, but this time with my 16 year old son as my workout buddy.
4/15 - 241.2 lbs 😌 Thinking of starting my modified fasting schedule since I want to try getting down to two meals a day. I am thinking of assessing how a 18:6 or 20:4 schedule will suit me. I will probably start with shifting to 18:6 (18 hrs fasting & 6 hours eating) for about a month to see how it goes. We are going back to the gym today for more cardio. Monday we start a strength training routine developed by my husband.
4/16 - 239.2 lbs 😅 We ended up not going to the gym yesterday and went today instead. 🏃🏾♀️ We added a whole 2 min⏱️ into our cardio to really weakly (I guess) push ourselves. We both exercise with our hands on the contacts so it can measure our heart ❤️ rate & we make sure to keep our heart rate in the target range —which caused me to have to adjust my speed several times because I can’t and don’t want to imagine waking up dazed in the hospital from passing the heck out. I already have high blood pressure to begin with. This is another of the MANY reasons why I need to lose this darn weight! I attempted to adjust my fasting schedule by cutting 2 hours from my eating time adding it to my fasting time & that was a disaster. I did a tad bit of emotional eating bc I am still learning how to manage my emotions —which is a huge problem for me & I finally had enough of that triggering me to begin an extensive personal & spiritual development/growth undertaking & boy am I grateful that I did! Just finished a course in this online training school for personal development on Emotional Mastery & Reprogramming Subconscious Beliefs & did all the exercises which was life changing, inspiring, & very revealing. I am about to finish the course called Discover, Embrace, & Fulfill Your Personal Needs —which I started midway into doing the before mentioned course. The next one up to tee for me is called Release Resentment from Relationships & Truly Forgive. I’ve already completed the one called Principles & Tools for Reprogramming the Subconscious Mind —which blew me away! 🤩🥳😎🤯. These have helped me understand how my developed habit of trash eating needed some work at a subconscious level along with other challenges/opportunities in my life. I also found a study, during my research on weight loss, that fiber intake was inversely related to weight & body fat % & I recognized my actual fiber intake was no where close the recommendation for weight loss so I started incorporating 3 teaspoons of psyllium husk mixed thoroughly in H2O to my nutritional intake twice a day to address that. We’ll see what happens! I was surprised I even had to do this because I eat a LOT of vegetables, plus quinoa, & hemp seed hearts with 2 out of 3 of my meals per day. Goodness! Like I was saying earlier, I tend to just be extra with whatever I’m doing, then managing to act surprised when I feel stressed out as a result. 😅🤓
4/17 - 241.6 lbs 🥲😳 This yo-yoing as I decline in weight is weird. I don’t know if this is post Workouts inflammation or water retention from our workout the previous day, but it should settle out tomorrow. We will see. It could also be from my poor emotions based choices I made yesterday -which almost always seem to bite me in the butt pretty immediately it seems. Y’all should see my weight loss line graph. It looks like it’s jumping rope down a hill! 🤨😑🙄😵💫🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️. I already take a litany of vitamins 💊 & supplements —which is how it was when I was growing up so I’m just getting back into the tradition starting this intensely about 1 month ago & I think that is also contributing to some of the loss that I am experiencing. I am planning on adding a few more supplements because I tend to be extra like that & my liver & kidney function isn’t obviously taxed enough so why not! The supplements & vitamins I take are more for thyroid health (I have hypothyroidism), reproductive region health, & brain fog/fatigue/alertness. I found out after the fact that some were also strongly responsible for weight loss related benefits. So why not? I am an Amazon shopping addict as it is so let’s raise the bar!
4/18 - 241.4 lbs 🤦🏾♀️😑🫣 Excited about going to the gym today and hitting that cardio. We were supposed to start doing strength training at home with the hubby because he developed a whole strategy and everything, but we were slackers yesterday. I had to upend my eating and fasting hours some time get them closer to back on track, plus I cut out dinner because I couldn’t start eating until my window opened at 11:10 and I stay away hardcore now from eating past like about 1800. I have been trying to figure out why I emotionally eat even still sometimes here and there and automatically without much resistance fall prey to something comforting either sweet, crunchy, or salty when I need to regulate myself emotionally. I was working on my personal development course finishing up the one on Personal Needs and the teacher Thais notes that the reason why some people emotionally eat is that they have a subconscious high priority need for “comfort”, as many people do, and when our emotions are triggered because we have some subconscious need that is not being met our subconscious seeks the fastest (not necessarily the best way which tends to bite us sometimes or…often) way to get that need met and food is the stopgap it typically drives us to choose because it is such an easy quick fix. She then trained me what to do to be proactive in getting these needs met so that there is no opportunity for this to happen. My number one need come to find out from the class is comfort. That explains it and I already started putting the proactive strategy in play!
4/19 - 239.6 lbs 😅😊 Actually had a good night’s sleep. Woke up about two hours after I set my alarm for though. I am working on getting back to my scheduled and usual wake up time at 0430 so I can implement my new morning routine. I will just shift it to later after I get my youngest son on the bus. I am enjoying journaling including a food journal which I use to work through any times when I make unhealthy choices to get through the root cause and create a dialogue for myself that this is not the way! 😕. Will work out today since we didn’t go yesterday —which switches up our schedule. I understand the concern about the psyllium husk, but it is making me more regular than I was despite the amount of vegetables I eat daily. I drink over half a gallon of distilled water a day so it is working out for me fairly well this far. 💩 Today we are going grocery shopping and we usually go in the morning so we aren’t in the midst of decision fatigue from a long day if I go later in the afternoon or evening and before the store gets more full of people —which is one of the many tricks that Noom teaches that has really worked me in terms of sticking to what are good healthy choices and keeps me straight.

I read an article yesterday that said too much fiber can cause a “blockage” requiring a doctor’s “assistance.” I would at least split up those teaspoons.
You have a very valid point. I will break them up over three meals instead of just two. I also drink over half a gallon of distilled water a day. 👍🏾😎🚰
I did the research on how much fiber to target for women conducting weight loss and wanted to get that fiber from food. I monitored my nutrients by meal daily to see if what I was incorporating in my eating habits. I added chia seeds and hemp hearts to my repertoire consistently to lunch and dinner by recommended serving, etc.

RND 220 goals
What: Whole foods plant-based. No dairy. No ultra-processed foods and no added sugar.
Why: I have felt much better since starting this extreme diet change, physically and emotionally. I will practice it every day because every day it gets easier and closer to becoming second nature.
How: Monday through Friday is strictly WFPB, no animal products, no alcohol, and no ultra-processed foods. Moderate myself on weekends. Try to keep dinners small and low fat to induce sleepiness.
💤10 more days of bed by 10💤
4/12 I might have shared this before that part of the fun of sticking with WFPB is all the foods that are new. I scanned the produce shelves for the on sale stickers and saw a sticker on a bag of bean sprouts. I have never noticed them before or would ever have bought them and last night I made fried rice with them. It turns out they are 30 calories per cup and 3 grams of protein! They're also delicious.
4/13
4/14 Still sticking with it but have had a few slip ups. Plan to weigh in on day five of this round to check on my status.
4/15
4/16 130.0 Not what I wanted to see but I can pinpoint a few obvious reasons. This week had outings, parties, and eating outs so I hope that some of it is lingering water weight but I also know I overindulged more than I needed to with alcohol and dinner rolls. I said no thanks to the dessert trays that people kept pushing at three different events this week and I didn't feel like I was depriving myself! Instead I loaded my plate with the vegetable dishes and salad. That's a big NSV for me, I didn't want the sugar bombs of the simple desserts, I didn't crave the meat offerings, and I would have preferred the vegetables cooked with less fat. How far I've come! Goal for this round is to be under 130 by the 21st. I can do that.
4/17 130.0 Hmmpf. I tracked carefully yesterday, logged everything (which I haven't done for some time), and came out just at maintenance calories. So this is my real weight. Those outings must have been more indulgent than I thought and added up to real weight gain. With all the opportunity and self-control wins I had last week I should be grateful that I didn't gain even more. 130 needs to be an absolute ceiling for my weight. I'll feel better when I'm back below 130 because it feels like I'm close to the mental gate that is about to be thrown open to "Oh, well, I'll do better tomorrow, next week" etc. I did better yesterday and I'll continue to do better today. I was remarking to my husband last week how nice it is that this WFPB diet is the first diet that doesn't feel like I'm "dieting." I've been eating as much as I want of whole plant foods but also have been eating lots of sourdough bread as a base for the veggie filled Mediterranean dip recipes and got slack with cooking with low or no added oil. I won't say that I'm cutting out bread, because the lifestyle change is about learning to eat for maintenance, but I will cut down on bread (4-6 slices a day is a bit much). Yes, now that I'm really thinking about it I've been in eating ad libitum in celebration mode as though I'm finally free of on/off dieting. Well, I am free of that, and that is worth celebrating, but as my weight shows I can dial it back a notch. I know what to do. Now to do it...
4/18 130.0 That's 2 days of carefully logging for maintenance calories. I'm going to finish out the week logging calories and being careful to stay at or slightly below maintenance and see where that lands me in the next 3 days.
4/19 129.0 yay! That's 3 days of careful tracking for maintenance calories. On Sunday I reinstated my one sweet potato every day rule. I get tired of cutting them everyday but I love them as sweet potato fries, cubed and roasted, or baked and loaded with baked beans and coleslaw.

Good Morning 10 day friends!! Looking forward to this round...no holidays, vacation, special days (except for nephews b-day, but it will just be a lunch I can manage) to bump me out of my routine. I'm committing to tracking as best I can, getting enough water and daily activity. Let's do this!!!
Female - 51 years old - 5'5"
Goal Weight - to hang out somewhere 145-150
R219 EW - 4/11 - 174.6
4/12 - 173.0 - coming down after a carby long weekend. Weather has skipped over spring and we have summer this week...I LOVE it!! Expecting to get great hikes in every morning until Sunday looking at the forecast, the woods are my happy place and a great way to start my day.
4/13 - 173.0 - hopefully I won't be stuck here for long.
4/14 - 172.8 - Was a bit surprised to see this down a smidge. I got really snacky last night and instead of being smart and grabbing some grapes or snap peas to cure the crunch craving I dipped into the chip drawer. I was well in a calorie deficit before that so I likely didn't go over maintenance with my little bowl of munchie mix....but I felt gross when I went to bed, and slept horribly. A regular walk with the dog this morning after I get tickets (hopefully) for DS17 belated bday present and then we're heading up to the storage place to pick up the bike for the summer, might get a ride in tomorrow before it snows again next week
4/15 - 170.6 - !!! Nice drop !!! Whooshed water weight all day yesterday and through the night...inconvenient for sleeping but I'll deal LOL. Excited to think I might break into the 160's this round! It's been a couple of years, it will be nice to see them again. I had a bleach accident doing laundry yesterday that ruined a couple of dark tshirts and my favourite maxi-dress. But you know what? All were starting to be really too big on my anyway, so it's a good excuse to go get some replacements that will actually fit this summer. Going to take advantage of the summer like weather this weekend and get outside as much as I can before we return to a typical Ontario spring next week. Happy Saturday everyone!!
4/16 - 171.4 - thought there might be a bounce back after that whoosh as my body figures out hydration. Good hike yesterday morning and we got in a nice ride in the afternoon. We're heading out for my Nephew's birthday lunch this morning. Don't know what we're having but they ususally eat pretty healthy so there should be good choices...but also cake. We will probably take the dogs out for a walk after though so can hopefully offset anything extra...at least in part.
4/17 - 172.4 - Too many things with buns yesterday...and haven't had TMI in a few days come to think of it...and TOM is closing in...so many things contributing to this. Planning lots of water today, a good long walk with the dog and hopefully will see this number head back down.
4/18 - 171.6 - heading back down. Calories were good but had the blahs yesterday...this massive change in weather really has me down. After a week in Mexico, we returned to a week long April heat wave...and now we're back below freezing and its grey and dreary, all I wanted to do yesterday afternoon was sleep. At least the dog forces me to get out for a walk at least once a day.
4/19 - 171.4 - another tick back down. We decided to go see a hockey game last night (our local Junior team is in the second round of the playoffs) and ate out....we shared a big salad and fajitas so I didn't to too much damage calorie wise there, but I did have some wine. Hoping the night out doesn't have a delayed reaction to end this round. Still grey and dreary here...snowed off and on yesterday and might again today
Going to get pork carnitas started in the crock pot then make myself get outside for a walk with the dog. Maybe if I head to the woods for a short hike I'll feel better about it...

Round 220
End weight round 219 - 174.2 up from 173.5
Start weight round 220 - 173.2
Goals for round 220
To hit 171.2
Water! Water! Water!
Run every other day
Incorporate kettle bells back into my workouts
4/12 - 173.2 - woke up about 3am feeling like I’d been ran over by a bus. Headache, sinus pressure, cough, sore throat. “Called in” from work - which I’m remote today so no impact on the office. Going back to bed now.
4/13 - 172.8 - still sick but got all of my calories in yesterday. Feeling a little better today but sleep was crap. Hopefully I’m on the upswing. Not sure if I will make the gym tonight. Still really worn down.
4/14 - 171.8 - perks of being sick. I do feel somewhat better today. Going to at least get some walking in and possibly a jog.
4/15 - 172.0 - I’ll take it! I thought it was going to be way more than that. I’m still congested, but feeling soooo much better than I have been. I was able to get a walk/jog in yesterday even with this crud in my head & chest. It felt good!! I got just a tad over 2 miles. I should’ve done a full 3.1 just to see what time I could do it in. Hubby wants Mexican tonight - my weakness 2nd to fried chicken & mashed potatoes. I will get the veggie fajita with no tortillas! Win!
4/16 - 171.7 - Trucking along in the right direction. I slept like crap. This congestion is lingering, otherwise I feel pretty good. Didn’t get my walk in yesterday as planned. Storms on & off today, so we will see how it goes.
4/17 - 173.3 - Ope!! Helllllooooo sodium!
4/18 - 173.0 - Didn’t make the gym yesterday as all the congestion flared back up just when I thought it was heading out. Plan to make the gym tonight and hopefully flush some of this sodium out.
4/19 - 172.6 - was able to do a walk/jog yesterday. This congestion is still lingering 8 days in. With losing weight, I’ve started to notice my bones. I have a collar bone, ribs, hip bones and I can actually feel them now. I find myself feeling them bc I’ve never been able to before. Also, I have to sleep with a pillow or blanket between my knees now. It’s uncomfortable for my knees to lay on top of each other.8 -

Day, Weight, Calories, Comment
4/12 - 182.8
Well, I hit my no after-dinner snacking and my walking goals. Did not hit the others, but I also didn’t go overboard. I didn’t sleep well last night (puppy got me up twice, and I couldn’t go back to sleep) and I feel like I need a nap already. But I’m going to put my shoes on and go for a walk on this beautiful morning! Planning salad for lunch and salmon Pattie’s (no bread, just salmon, egg, celery, and spices) for dinner with a vegetable or two on the side. I’m cutting my no-snacking goal to 10 days at a time. These bite-size chunks are much more manageable.
4/13 - 182.8
Yesterday was great—two 45-min walks, calories within bounds, no snacking. Hoping for more of the same today.
4/14 - 182.2
I feel like I may be taking back a little control. Yesterday the pupper and I went for a 50 min walk along the river in the morning, and then had an hour of obedience class in the evening. I did have buttered popcorn when I came home, but no dinner so my calories were quite low. We have an ozone alert today with advice against strenuous outdoor activity, so I probably won’t get a long walk, but I do plan to do some garden cleanup. Enjoy your day!
4/15 - 182
We got our long walk in last evening after they lifted the health advisory, so that was great. Today is another beautiful, clear, hot (80) day, so I’m headed to a park with the pup and then some more garden tidying. Nice to be outside again. Tomorrow we’re supposed to get rain and possibly snow! Aaaack! Enjoy the weekend, everyone!
4/16 - 182
Gloomy out, but not raining yet—just about to put my shoes on, leash the pup, and go for a walk before the rain rolls in.
4/17 - 182
It’s cold and windy this morning, so I’m not sure I’m going for a walk. I don’t want to end up with bronchitis, which I’ve done too many Aprils in the past. Maybe later. I was hoping the scale would shift this morning. Oh, well. I need to remind myself to focus on what I do, not what I weigh.
4/18 - 182
Again? (In best whiny voice). Oh well. I did go a bit over my calorie goal, but not much. All good.
4/19 - 182
I remember being stuck here before. I guess my body thinks this is where it belongs. We’re going to have to have a talk about that.

Day, Weight, Comment
4/12 201.8
4/13 202 I splurged and had fast food cheeseburger and fries. Too much salt I hope.
4/14 201.6 very happy with this.
4/15 201.6 Great, it stayed down.
4/16 201.4 Creeping down but at least it’s lower than yesterday. I took DH car and sold it yesterday. Hard going into the garage and seeing it gone. I didn’t need to have two cars so another part of him is gone even if it was just a car. It just makes me so sad to have to do these things but it’s reality.
4/17 201.0 Still heading down little by little.
4/18 200.6 Lowest I’ve been in about two years. It’s been very stressful with many life changes.
4/19 200.8 That’s okay.

169 / 168 / 167 / 166 / 165 / 164 / 163 / 162 / 161 / 160 👉 159
Stick to Plan:
- Calorie cycle for a weekly average of 1200 to 1500
- Exercise: Row, Walk, Bike, Weights, Pushups, Dance, Jazzercise, Kayak, Hike
- Water: Shoot for 80oz per day
- Binge-Free & Sugar-Free for 100 days
- Reduce added salt
- 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.
End of Round 219: 171.2
Round 220
Previous Days' Notes:4/12: DNW Bike ✔ Water ✔ Calories ✔ Got up way too early to weigh.
4/13: 171.6 Bike ✔ Water ✔ Calories (a little over maintenance - 1671). 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?
4/14: 171.6 Bike ✔ Water ✔ Calories ✔ Patience.🤪 Patience.🤪 Patience.🤪 I'm following my plan - it will drop!!
4/15: 170.6 Bike ✔ Water ❎ Calories ✔ Patience won out over my internal fight between patience and frustration! LOL Unlike the "old" me who would have eaten out of frustration, the "new" me did not!! I finally dropped out of the 171's. Yay! I'm 40 days straight with no binge and no sugar. Believe me, I don't think there's anything wrong with sugar in moderation. I wish I was one of those people that could eat it. It just makes me feel like pure sh**, and it keeps my craving/bingeing going. Maybe one day I can eat it every now and then, but honestly, right now, I feel so good without it, I can't imagine wanting to feel like that again. We shall see...
4/16: 170.0 Bike ✔ Water ✔ Calories ✔ Almost back into the 160's!! I stayed at 171.X for 10 days, and because of that, it looks like I'm going to get out of the 170.X's pretty fast. 🤞🤞🤞 I think that's fingers crossed even though it looks like a duck. Maybe I should put my glasses on before I start typing. LOL
4/17: 170.2
Bike/Walk ✔ Water ✔ Calories ✔ I cleaned out my standalone freezer in the basement moving all the frozen vegtables upstairs to the refrigerator freezer so I can keep up with what I have better. And I'm going to the farmer to buy meat tomorrow, so needed room. I started eating more frozen vegetables during the winter because they seemed fresher than the "fresh" vegetables. I do look forward to fresh summer vegetables though. 🌽🥦🥕
4/18: 169.6 🔔🔔🔔ding! ding! ding! Hit the 160's! Goodbye

4/19: 169.6 I was glad to see 169.x stuck around a second day even though I made cheese bread. I counted every calorie while making it, then weighed it after it was cooked and determined the number of calories per oz (it was 75 per oz). NSV: I made 2 small loaves so I could freeze half, and I was able to control myself and only eat a few slices instead of the entire loaf. No sugar, processed food, or simple carbs is helping with my 100-day binge-free challenge. Hopefully the bread won't set me off (it was not made with whole wheat flour). I bought a lot of meat from the local farmer yesterday. I'm about to make chili with pinto and kidney beans, ground beef, sausage, and tomatoes. The mix of protein and complex carbs works so well for me. I just need to make sure I eat a normal serving and add a couple of vegetables on the side.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.100-day Binge-free Challenge starting March 6…
I want to see what happens when I don't give up!

Breaking the salt habit (replace with spices and herbs) starting April 16. Plan: 10 days 1/2 tsp, then 10 days 1/4 tps, then 10 days 1/8 tsp, lastly no added sugar (maybe?)
✳= 1 day 1/2 tsp added salt / ✴= 1 day 1/4 tsp added salt / ☑= 1/8 tsp added salt
✳✳✳
I decided to start at 1/2 tsp for 10 days because I was having a hard time getting started. To my surprise, I've had salt left over each day - yay!

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

4/13 126.5 Got some activity by moving stuff in the sewing room so I could get rid of the dead TV. Horrid headache this morning but I’m sure it’s from the extra physical activity yesterday. Moving a treadle sewing machine on carpet isn’t easy!
4/14 126.5 This won’t last - Golden Corral for the first time in months. Haven’t been since before DH had first shoulder replacement in September. DH had tooth extraction so I made a second trip to WM for Orange sherbet. Well, apparently I never posted so I will catch up tomorrow from the top of page 6.
4/15 128.0 Up as expected but my GKI is down in spite of fried chicken, hush puppy and NSA dessert.
4/16 127.5 I have found that if I have my main meal around noon I am satisfied all day and don’t even snack in the afternoon/evening. Unfortunately, since DH is playing some form of cards (Tripoley, pinochle, poker, bridge) 6 days a week it makes it impossible to eat at 3 - my chosen time during the pandemic. Cards start at 12 or 1 and go until 4 plus “hanging out” and chatting. This makes eating eat too late for me. I need to start making “dinner” in the morning so he can leave.
4/17 127.5 Egg Roll in a Bowl with shrimp, I think.
4/18 126.5 Ate above at 10:45AM, small snack at 3. Macros were right on. Dermatologist appointment at 7:25. What was I thinking? Not a morning person!
4/19 128.0 No TMI x 2 and ate OMAD late yesterday . Had an hour and a half to kill between derm and nails. Had a venti latte with cream at Starbucks, read an ebook and people watched. Didn’t want food when I met DH @ In-n-Out. I should have just fasted. Ate a plain burger (no bun) and Brussels sprouts at about 3. TMI happened after WI, 18 oz of coffee, and while reading posts. 🤷♀️5 -
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 - 123.6! Must have been holding on to some water, whew. Hit my round goal already but we're headed into the weekend. I always go off the rails, but I'll do better this weekend. My cold is making it so I really only crave more nutritious foods and don't want any alcohol, so that's a silver lining to being a little sick I guess. I took the kids to Dairy Queen for dinner and got a salad of all things. I of course rewarded myself with a mini Blizzard My husband and I went on a lunchtime mountain bike ride yesterday. It was lovely. Today it's rainy, so I'll probably do a Peloton run and some strength training. Happy Friday, all!!
4/15 - 120.0. I really must have been holding on to a lot of water and other TMI things. TOM is around the corner so maybe that’s a factor too. I hope to get some exercise in today but sometimes wrangling my 2 year is enough of a workout! Happy weekend everyone!
4/16 - 120.4
4/17 - 121.8 whoops. I had a chicken biscuit for breakfast yesterday and sushi for lunch. Hoping some of that is water but I definitely played it a little fast and loose all weekend. Sleep has been horrible for a plethora of reasons and I want to do absolutely nothing today. I even procrastinated posting here until 3pm. But I wanted to jump on here just long enough to be somewhat consistent and to commit to taking the dogs out walking NOW! So here I go.
Edit: Woohoo I did it!
4/18 - 122.6. Probably still rebound from the weekend.
4/19 - 122.4. I guess I didn't just gain water over the weekend! That's okay, I'm just a little bit above my maintenance range. I'll stay motivated to get back in it and stay there! Yesterday I squeezed in a 20-minute treadmill run which was better than nothing. Today I'm getting my standing desk attachment for my Tread that I'm very excited to use while I work. Obviously just slow moving but it will be better for my body than sitting still all day. I'm planning to get the dogs out for a walk, too. Happy Hump Day everyone!

I read an article yesterday that said too much fiber can cause a “blockage” requiring a doctor’s “assistance.” I would at least split up those teaspoons.
You have a very valid point. I will break them up over three meals instead of just two. I also drink over half a gallon of distilled water a day. 👍🏾😎🚰
I did the research on how much fiber to target for women conducting weight loss and wanted to get that fiber from food. I monitored my nutrients by meal daily to see if what I was incorporating in my eating habits. I added chia seeds and hemp hearts to my repertoire consistently to lunch and dinner by recommended serving, etc.
@PaulyJoMomma Most (it used to be all) mornings start with 39 grams of fiber one cereal (MFP says 19 grams fiber, box says 18 grams fiber) plus 1 TB chia seeds. Those totaled come to 23 grams (or 22 depending) out of the 21 grams recommended each day.

4/12 - 173.2 - woke up about 3am feeling like I’d been ran over by a bus. Headache, sinus pressure, cough, sore throat. “Called in” from work - which I’m remote today so no impact on the office. Going back to bed now.
4/13 - 172.8 - still sick but got all of my calories in yesterday. Feeling a little better today but sleep was crap. Hopefully I’m on the upswing. Not sure if I will make the gym tonight. Still really worn down.
4/14 - 171.8 - perks of being sick. I do feel somewhat better today. Going to at least get some walking in and possibly a jog.
4/15 - 172.0 - I’ll take it! I thought it was going to be way more than that. I’m still congested, but feeling soooo much better than I have been. I was able to get a walk/jog in yesterday even with this crud in my head & chest. It felt good!! I got just a tad over 2 miles. I should’ve done a full 3.1 just to see what time I could do it in. Hubby wants Mexican tonight - my weakness 2nd to fried chicken & mashed potatoes. I will get the veggie fajita with no tortillas! Win!
4/16 - 171.7 - Trucking along in the right direction. I slept like crap. This congestion is lingering, otherwise I feel pretty good. Didn’t get my walk in yesterday as planned. Storms on & off today, so we will see how it goes.
4/17 - 173.3 - Ope!! Helllllooooo sodium!
4/18 - 173.0 - Didn’t make the gym yesterday as all the congestion flared back up just when I thought it was heading out. Plan to make the gym tonight and hopefully flush some of this sodium out.
4/19 - 172.6 - was able to do a walk/jog yesterday. This congestion is still lingering 8 days in. With losing weight, I’ve started to notice my bones. I have a collar bone, ribs, hip bones and I can actually feel them now. I find myself feeling them bc I’ve never been able to before. Also, I have to sleep with a pillow or blanket between my knees now. It’s uncomfortable for my knees to lay on top of each other.
@RenaPink11
The 180's have given me back my sternum, my knee bones, my collar bones and especially my hip bones. I sat on a plastic chair the other day and realized I have bones in my butt too! Wow, I forgot about that! It's nice they came back. I can't wait for the 170's when I get my ribs back (LOL)!!! I agree, it's hard not to touch!2 -

04/17 -188.4- (Trend weight 191.3)
04/18 -187.8- (Trend weight 190.9) Another small loss which is more like a miracle. I say that because I have been absolutely STARVING ever since I had that (over) 3 pound whoosh the other day. So far I have SUFFERED through it trying EVERYTHING to get the hunger to go away. All the tricks in my bag aren’t working right now. I’ve managed to stay within my limits on calories and have only went slightly over on carbs per day. I hope this passes soon or I’ll need the strength of Samson to keep going without a major binge.
04/19 -188.4- (Trend weight 190.7) After 3 days of no TMI and 3 days of extreme hunger, I went off the deep end for a bit. I ate back about 50% of my exercise calories and went way over on carbs and sodium though my calories were okay due to the exercise. The worst part is that by night time I was already hungry again anyway so what did I really accomplish? I ended up going to bed hungry anyway (trying to offset the damage)! Bad choices and bad behaviors will never equal good results. The positive side is that every day is a new day to do better. Today I go to my family doctor for yearly overall bloodwork. It’s just the next town over. My doctor suddenly retired so I will be looking for a new one. I don’t think I will stick to her replacement as it will be in the wrong medical system. A new doctor will end up being in another town (and county). Probably where my cardiac rehab had been. It’s going to take time to move my 23 year old medical records over and not get my meds interfered with. Ugh!

SW this round 163.8
Goals This round: I will not be weighing this round until the very last day. I want to take a little time to not be attached to the scale.
4/12 163.8 Did strength training and pickleball yesterday, ate within my goals, and got a decent night's sleep, so feeling pretty good! Going to take my son to the zoo today, so steps and sunshine instead of the gym.
4/13 DNW Feeling pretty great. I am starting to notice some physical changes and body shape changes. Played pickleball instead of the gym this morning. Trying to come up with a game plan for this weekend...3 day dance competition equals no exercise, high stress, little sleep, and no at-home meals.
4/14 I let my family pick dinners for this week and my daughter chose fettucine alfredo. Ugh! But I accepted the challenge. I made a roux with less butter, used chicken stock instead of cream, added fat free cream cheese and blended cottage cheese to up the flavor, and air fried shrimp to go along with it. Now that is what I called sustainable changes!
4/15 We are day 2 of 3 for dance competition. Chick fil a dinner, Birria tacos lunch, but too busy to snack so within calories still. Stress and exhaustion high.
4/16
4/17
4/18 DNW Still recovering from an Exhausting weekend. Went back to the gym today and got a nice arm and back workout in. Made a delicious buffalo chicken wrap for lunch, and just trying to hydrate and rest. My body and mind need it.
4/19 TOM is completely kicking my butt. I skipped pickleball last night and the gym this morning, spending about 12 hours in bed with a heating pad. Cravings aren't a problem because the pain is making me feel sick. So, I guess I can still stay on track. Ha.

Hi, I'm Charissa - Round 220
Thank you, again, QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!
My last two rounds were not ideal.
Round 218 - Vacation sabotage - Difficult to get back on track.
Round 219 - A bit of a recovery but then there was Easter (had fun with some new dishes though)
I'm doing well with my steps - the risk of losing $$ (you bet on yourself) really does motivate me to get going.
Now it's time to reign it in again.
I am continuing my focus on nutrition. I will use the Mayo Clinic plan for reference (recipes, serving tracking) but I think I will go back to MFP for actual calorie tracking.

4/14 219.6 - Slow but moving in the right direction. Tomorrow's will be interesting. I have had a couple of bad mental days this week. I worked from home today as in my current mental state, I would have bit someone's head off. My husband suggested we go to lunch...at Red Lobster. I haven't been to Red Lobster in years, and all I could think about were those biscuits and how detrimental they would be. But, I said..ok! I logged everything and I'm right at the limit for the day. I ordered a salad (it wasn't very good so I didn't each much of it). I ordered a cup of clam chowder and had half. For my meal, I had grilled lobster, shrimp and salmon. I ate the lobster and shrimp and saved the salmon to eat for dinner (already logged). Oh, and I did have 2 of those amazing biscuits. Calorie wise I'm good, the carbs.... I'm hoping it was early enough in the day that I've burned them off. Either way, it was a nice treat. Tomorrow is our last day of spring like weather, so I'll try to walk a 5k or close to it.
4/15 219.4
4/16 219.3 The carbs treated me nicely yesterday. Today I expected a little more but it's still moving the right way so not complaining. I went for my first long walk of the year outside - much more challenging than the treadmill. Almost 3 miles (2.88) in just over an hour.
4/17 218.6 A loss over the weekend! If you 've been following my rambles, you know that I keep looking for the weight loss program that will be sustainable for me. As noted above I was following the recipes from the Mayo diet, for nutrition balance, yet tracking in MFP to make sure I stayed within calorie range and met my nutritional goals. On Wednesday, an email came to me from my insurance company called Wondr for weight loss and it encouraged me to join. I joined and picked a start date of 4/13. Most plans start with a menu and a shopping list and planned times that you will eat etc etc, hence the reason I picked the next day to "start", thinking it would give me some info of what I needed to do to prepare. Instead, I got nothing....and thought....that's weird. I was going to try and change the start date but it wouldn't let me. The next day, I got busy and then had my mental breakdown. Finally on Saturday, I opened the app and instead of a list of foods to eat and when, it had videos that provided behavior changing tools to help with with weight loss. I may not have these in exact order but it talked about hydration especially upon waking. We all know that. Then it talked about levels of hunger 1 - 4. 1 being full (i just ate) 2 - I'm a little hungry, 3 - I'm really hungry and 4 - I will eat anything I can get my hands on. It explained why you should eat at a level 3 AND eat only until your comfortably full. It talked about taking time to listen to your body to determine how many meals you really need in a day vs a strict 3 meals or 6 little meals etc. It recommended chewing slowing, not rushing your meal and finally, started to cut back on added sugars.... I was so pleasantly surprised that yet another plan, was different. I'm sure they will get what you're consuming but for now I like it. The other thing I like, you can't speed through the program. I've finished all the videos for week 1 but can't get to week 2's information until 4/20. oh, and it's free through insurance!
4/18 218.5 - it's slowing down....oh noooo......yesterday I had a lunch that was not my norm. We have an all day meeting once a month and they bring in lunch. I ordered a Chicken Avocado over spinach bowl. It was actually really good and clocked in at just over 500 calories. I usually try to keep lunch around 300. 2.4 so far, can i make it to 3, I really need to see a 3!
4/19 217.6 Hip Hip Hooray.....I wasn't exactly on plan yesterday as I really didn't feel like cooking. For lunch I had leftovers from Sunday, then ordered a thin crust pizza with a side salad. The pizza was just ok and the salad was lacking as well. At the end of the day...a good thing. Ate just enough to kill the hunger but didn't overdo it. What will tomorrow bring? 3.3 and counting! While I am happy, I'm not ecstatic as these are the same pounds that I keep gaining and losing. When I hit 215, I will feel like I've made some progress and will be even more excited to continue.

4/16 - 171.7 - Trucking along in the right direction. I slept like crap. This congestion is lingering, otherwise I feel pretty good. Didn’t get my walk in yesterday as planned. Storms on & off today, so we will see how it goes.
4/17 - 173.3 - Ope!! Helllllooooo sodium!
4/18 - 173.0 - Didn’t make the gym yesterday as all the congestion flared back up just when I thought it was heading out. Plan to make the gym tonight and hopefully flush some of this sodium out.
4/19 - 172.6 - was able to do a walk/jog yesterday. This congestion is still lingering 8 days in. With losing weight, I’ve started to notice my bones. I have a collar bone, ribs, hip bones and I can actually feel them now. I find myself feeling them bc I’ve never been able to before. Also, I have to sleep with a pillow or blanket between my knees now. It’s uncomfortable for my knees to lay on top of each other.

The 180's have given me back my sternum, my knee bones, my collar bones and especially my hip bones. I sat on a plastic chair the other day and realized I have bones in my butt too! Wow, I forgot about that! It's nice they came back. I can't wait for the 170's when I get my ribs back (LOL)!!! I agree, it's hard not to touch!
LOL! I thought I was just being weird -- I keep feeling my shoulders and my knees. It's like "Oh, there's actually different parts in there!" LOL Like I have seen photos of what bones should be where on my body, but I've never been able to actually feel them.4 -
