    65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 221 (my 152nd). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine you are a star!
    Back from a week away, tomorrow I will weigh in, first time since we went away. Goal for this round; any loss and keep binge free, not going to 100 days, starting small just going for 10, surely, I can make 10? This time!! 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 must be a permanent way of life.

    4/22 DNW – we travelled back home today after our week away, see what damage there is on the scale tomorrow.
    exercise.png
    4/23 140.8 – 7.95 miles walked, got a walk in after getting home & unpacking the caravan. Then some gardening to tidy it up after a week away, the weather was so nice, it was lovely to bring it back to scratch!! Lawns are now cut, edges tidied, weeding done before ran out of time. Dead heading still to be done. My first goal now this round is to get back below 140. Today we have a sibling’s lunch, all 6 of us plus partners, I get to see DB for the first time after his stroke 6 days ago, so pleased he’s agreed to still come, a positive step! Also meet DS’s new man for first time!! Going to be mindful and eat sensibly.
    4/24 140.8 – 6.13 miles walked yesterday, all but 39 exercise calories eaten back. Really lovely siblings lunch yesterday, chose pesto & asparagus tagliatelle with grilled chicken, no desert but did indulge in a latte. DB is doing amazingly, he looks well, but words come out mixed up or he has difficulty thinking of the second half of the word, can’t really imagine myself what that feels like? It is an improvement as initially he couldn’t speak at all. He is positive, keeping cheerful & we are all convinced he will get that back, he does feel like his legs have been cut off whilst he can’t drive, but 3 weeks only left of that curfew. Thank you all for your kind wishes for him.
    4/25 140.4 – 9.97 miles walked yesterday. 2/3rds exercise calories eaten back, feeling positive.
    4/26 139.2 – 10.65 miles walked yesterday, a quarter of exercise calories eaten back. This rounds first goal met, now to both stay below the 140’s cuz after such a whoosh it’s bound to bounce up a tad tomorrow & stay binge free for the rest of the round – 5 days to go!
    4/27 140.4 – 11.55 miles walk yesterday, 90% exercise calories eaten back, some of those were Easter egg chocolate, but I avoided going into a full binge.

    Lately, I have been bombarded with facebook cottage cheese ice cream videos. For anyone intrigued, this link shows the concept (google search). Key comment I have read though is to keep the cottage cheese flavor profile in mind. In other words, some combos are better than others, and think about what flavor ice cream would also be good as a cheesecake. That is supposed to help. Not sure I'm going to do it (or certainly not until I get home). But if anyone does. Update us.

    Here for another round! Would really like to dip into the 160's by May 1 so this is the perfect round to do that. I'm really finding I do best the days I get outside for activity, we have an EP area with tonnes of trails near our house and I was really consistent getting out for a hike 4-5 times a week in the winter and for some reason I've had a harder time motivating myself to go that way when we leave for our walk in the morning, not sure why. So I'm going to challenge myself to not go two days in a row of not hiking this round.

    Female - 51yrs - 5'5"
    Goal weight - to hang out somewhere 145-150
    R220 EW 4/21 - 170.8

    4/22 - 171.0 - little blip up. I started feeling the TOM bloat yesterday and still a bit puffy this morning, hopefully it will flush out as TOM wraps up over the next day or so. It's pouring out, and not supposed to let up, so I might be starting this round with a non hike day, but we went yesterday. I know I can hike in the rain, but I really don't want to bathe the dog after LOL...he's curly haired and holds onto EVERYTHING when he gets wet.
    4/23 - 172.2 - bleh! Yuck day yesterday...icky walk in the rain, grey and dreary, no motivation...except to make cookies for the boys...which of course required quality control. I know I didn't eat over 3500 calories in cookies though (probably only 500-600) so it's likely just retention shock from the carbs and sugar my body isn't used to anymore. Finishing my coffee and heading out to the woods for a hike since I missed it yesterday.
    4/24 - 171.2 - back in the right direction. Got my hike in yesterday and stayed away from the cookies. Plan is to do the same today.
    4/25 - 170.4 - Excellent! Proud of myself for actually going for a hike in the drizzle yesterday! Was going to do another today but Hubby asked me to help with some errands this morning so I don't have time before we need to leave. We will get a quick walk in and maybe another this evening. Calories and logging were good yesterday as well, so far so good this week! If I keep this up I'll definitely be dipping into the 160s!!
    4/26 - 169.8 - YES!!!! now to keep it under 170!! Need to make this a quick one...gotta get out for our hike early so we're back in time to take the doggo to the vet for his annual stuff.
    4/27 - 170.4 - Looks like I'm stradling 170 before I settle firmly into the 160's...at least I know I've got it in me. Blaming this one on the roast potatoes last night, should have just avoided them all together instead of having a small portion then wanting more. Hubby is at one of his golf course gigs this morning and I have nothing on the calendar...it's sunny (but cool) so Mack and I are heading to the woods...might try a new trail and hopefully not get lost.

    4/26: - DNW - Traveling
    4/27: 131.2 - Will see if this holds or not. I don’t tend to eat too much on travel days (yesterday) because I am a slightly nervous flyer. However, overall I’m pleased that 8 days of not tracking, eating out, snacking, and drinking (moderately) haven’t resulted in a HUGE gain. I did do some modest walking on some days, and the last 2 days went back to my Jazzercise routine. Eating however was lots of carby things and I’m sure pretty low protein, high fat.

    HW: 175

    SW this round 163.2

    Goals This Round: Increase water and steps.

    4/22 161.6 I cannot believe I am so close to seeing 150s!!!!!!!!!!

    4/23 162.0 No surprise here. We went out for ramen last night and that is definitely the extra sodium and carbs doing their thing. It was a much planned for and highly anticipated meal, and totally worth it.

    4/24. 162.6 I made a huge Sunday dinner for my extended family last night and let myself enjoy it. Don't feel like I went crazy though. I have my meals all planned out for the next few days and should make it to the gym at least 3 days this week, plus pickleball at least twice. Going to try to drink tons of water today to help flush out the extra sodium from weekend foods. Also going to add an extra treadmill mile or possibly a walk outside to hit 10,000 steps today. I would reeeeeally love to see a 150’s number this week. It's been a very long time.

    4/25 162.0 Heading back in the right direction! Busy day today. Not making it to the gym but playing pickleball tonight and steps should happen.

    4/26 162.2 Who knows. Probably not enought water yesterday since everything else was good. Heading out for a walk before taking my kid to a play.

    4/27 162.6 Playing the up and down game today I guess! I know fluctuations are normal, but I am going to eat on the lower end of calories today to prepare for this weekend since we have a 3 day dance competition starting tomorrow.

    Hi, I'm new to MFP so I hope I post this correctly.
    38F / 5'4"
    Round 221 - RSW-239.2lbs / RGW-238.2lbs

    Track all my meals on the app & do accountability checks with my fitness coach/son.
    Stick to my work out plan (alternate 3 days walking/3 days body weight exercising/1 day rest)
    Don't drink my calories outside coffee (need to have milk!)
    Increase water intake (use my gallon size jug!)
    Get good sleep!

    Day, Weight, Comment
    4/22 - 239.2 - Good start, had a walk with a long hill, ended the day with spare calories but still had a giant dinner!
    4/23 - 238.2 - Day 2 of not drinking calories and all I wanted all day was a vanilla creme cold brew! :neutral:
    4/24 - 238.2 - Decided today that changing my workout days to a 2workout/1rest alternate would be better since my poor legs cannot take so much in a row! So, today is a rest day. However, I stood in line at chipotle getting lunch today for 25 minute and I'm counting that as a work out (plus test in patience). Had a big lunch (no rice! no tortilla!) so it's a light dinner for me. :)
    4/25 - 238.8 - Holding steady on the weight. I've been puffy in the mornings :( I had a crappy food day today so tomorrow will be more focused. My legs were also very sore still from working out two days ago so I skipped again today and will continue tomorrow unless I still have pain. Goal tomorrow: drink 80 oz of water & no snacks at work.
    4/26 - 238.8 - No changes. Today was the last track meet for my son so we spent the evening doing that, no time to work out afterwards. Darn :(

    Is there anyone in the challenge that uses the KETO-MOJO GK+ glucose & ketone test meter? Is it reasonably accurate? Easy to use? I'm considering buying one for myself to see if it could be useful for my husband.

    Tish, I have been using KetoMojo device since about 6 months after I started low carb. I find the blood sugar readings extremely accurate-you can look at the averages of the readings easily. (It’s in the manual) I checked my 3 month average before my last blood draw because I knew there had been some “bad” days - at least bad for me. The doctor checks my A1C every 6 months and the meter has never had it wrong. I can tell you that my ketones fluctuate with what I have eaten. They were at some absurdly high number a week or so ago the morning after bread, chips, and ice cream sandwich! I order from

    https://bestketonetest.com

    The customer service is excellent. I don’t think I get anything for referring you except maybe a “thanks.” My strips are set up on auto delivery and if I need to change it, it’s easy. They are the best!

    On the other hand, when I contacted KetoMojo way back in the beginning, they would do nothing to assist me except to tell me I didn’t buy my meter from them. I’m almost positive it WAS thru them via Amazon.

    BKT all the way!

    @SModa61 I could NEVER agree with the WW policy of once a week weighing. My original meetings were at 7PM. That was such a variable weight! But only that meeting unless I drove 45 miles.

    On the other hand, I’ll be on a cruise ship for 2 weeks with NO SCALE! It makes me a basket case!

    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.

    Projection/Actual
    4/27 217.5/217.5 ~ Ha! in sync with my projection. Not necessarily happy as my trend was losing faster but at least I'm on target. Had ground turkey taco's with lettuce instead of taco shells. A bit of sodium in the seasoning.

    Prior Days This Round
    4/22 218.9/218.3 - A bit of a surprise but I will take it

    4/23 218.4/217.7 - Yesterday was a super busy day. Putting my family room back together after clearing for paint job. Then cleaning the kitchen and dining room that was unorganized holding all that stuff. Stopped for a leftover turkey burger for lunch (with bun and cheese) and then didn't plan dinner so ended up with Chinese food. I usually love potstickers, but this place makes them with very thick dough...read: carbs - so I only had one. Then there's the rice, didn't eat any of the white rice but did have shrimp fried rice. It might take a day for this to show up on the scale but I plan on a more control food plan for today🙂

    4/24 218.2/217.8 Up .1 from yesterday but still below my projection! Intentionally didn't have the leftovers. Made homemade pizza for lunch but only had two small slices. Made chicken and veggies for dinner. Total down this round 1.1

    4/25 218/217.7 - Loss the .1 again.... hope to see a decent movement on the scale tomorrow, otherwise it looks like I'm starting to stall, again.

    4/26 217.9/217.3 - Sometimes my brain forgets that these are "daily" weigh ins. So .4 is good as .4 x 7 = 2.1 pounds in a week. Struggling with water this week but all else is pretty good. Total down this round 1.6
