Looking forward to another round! Keeping up my 10K+ steps daily and staying under calories is the main goal while recovering from an injury. I dropped a lot in the last round, so I'm curious if the trend continues or if I experience some stagnation this round.

Good Morning
My whyI am playing a game with myself & setting little daily goals of losing 0.35lbs per day and using those goals to help me stay motivated and on track is a way of fasting that I saw in another group. Using my bathroom scale as a weight loss tool works for me. There are days that my weight increases by 2 pounds or more, and I understand that this is mainly water weight, and can go away as quickly as it came. That is why there are times that my daily goal and my weight that day are pounds apart. I am not expecting to lose 2 pounds of body fat by the next day. But it is possible to lose 2 pounds of water weight by the next day, so I stick to my goals. If it takes longer than one day to lose that water weight, I extend my fast for another day. Sticking to my plan, I will reach my 1st goal weight of 172 pounds on September 16 2023. This will put me in the overweight weight range which I have not seen since 2007. At that point I will decrease the daily amount to 0.2lbs per day to get to my ultimate goal of 140 by my birthday in February. I also have a cruise booked for my birthday & one of the tours offers a mini photoshoot. What a great opportunity to be at my goal & get semi professional pictures on the beach!
I did an extended fast on April 9th that lasted almost 9 days. That got me back on track after Easter.

5/12 Goal 215.4/Actual 216.8
Not quite sure why I popped back up. Probably just normal body fluctuations or maybe because I snacked on yogurt a little late yesterday. I probably shouldn’t have had that snack but I couldn’t seem to stop myself. I will fast most of the day today & have supper when I get home. I will concentrate on drinking water as well because I have hardly been drinking any this week. I look forward to meal prepping this weekend so that I do not have to think about meals next week when I am busy at work.

Round 223
May 12 - May 21, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
Goal for Round 223 – I think I am keeping this round simple. My goal is to just continue to adjust to being back up north with my more complicated life, and continue to plan and track, and remember to keep fitting in my exercise. Preferably daily, though that is slipping. Again, I would like to end the goal no heavier than I started. I am interested in losing a scant bit more – like 2 pounds.
History:
Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a DGS, and second GS on the way. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Selling family home distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment
5/12 – 128.8 Preparing to shift to Maine for the weekend. First time back since September for me. Lots to think about and pack up. Tomorrow, I get to help clean the boat to get it ready for the season (I get seasick so I am rarely on it). Today, we are going out to eat with family friends. I’ve already planned and tracked that dinner. Caesar salad, and an appetizer of Bacon wrapped scallops as my entrée. Decadent, but totally controlled for calories. If I add a cocktail, that will be a choice to go “over” on my calories.

Day, Weight, Comment
5/12 - 156.3 - Up a smidge from lots of carbs and sodium. I ended up eating spaghetti with a small side salad I threw together (but just now realized I forgot to log the salad...I had the calories for it so not a big deal) only for BF to decide to go to Thirsty Thursday last minute anyway. Ugh. I felt the carb-heaviness all afternoon. Dinner wasn't terrible but he made mashed potatoes with, you guessed it, garlic salt. He loves salt and he'll be the first to tell you. UGH. I'm waiting for the sun to peak up just enough (about 20 minutes) while typing and drinking coffee to take the pups on a quick walk, both for me and them. BF said his alarm is for 7, he'll drink coffee, and THEN start moving towards leaving so I have plenty of opportunity. All I have left is to wash my face and brush my teeth (after coffee is consumed, always if I'm not out and about). Goal today is to get as many steps as possible despite driving. Also, aiming for at least 64oz water without requiring extra stops or being up all night tonight. Logging food and really eating slowly to make sure I can tell when I start feeling satiated, not quite full to stop eating. I'm hoping to limit the damage of eating fast food and gas station junk today and Sunday as much as possible with little tweaks. Have a great weekend, everyone! I'll see you again Monday.

Stick to Plan:
- Calorie cycle for a weekly average of 1200 to 1500 (with a maintenace day thrown in every now and then.
- Exercise: Row, Walk, Bike, Weights, Dance, Jazzercise, Kayak, Hike Figure out this new reality of no exertion for 6 months per doctor's orders. Ugh!!
- Water: Shoot for 80oz per day
- Binge-Free & Sugar-Free for 100 days (46 days at the beginning of this round)
- 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.
Ending Weight Round 222: 165.8
Round 223
5/12 - 165.8 I didn't realize it's been 3 days since I posted. I'm still trying to get my head around how I'm going to lose weight, retain muscle mass, and keep mentally healthy without exercise. The "exercises" I do are things I enjoy. However, my health situation is still precarious so I know I'll follow my surgeon's orders (plus my husband is watching me like a hawk 💚). I believe my metabolism has already slowed down but it's not only from no exercise, I think I'm causing it, too, from not eating enough calories. I haven't had an appetite - got to work on that!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!

Thank you everyone for being here for another round! I'm back too! Still have work to do! Intended to figure out how to fit kettlebells back into my life last round...and didn't even look at the set in the basement. Maybe this round?!?! My last two rounds have been very successful with tracking nutrition and staying active outside....but I'm thinking I need to work on body composition as well as just the number on the scale.

DS17 has a training shift for his summer job...and it's Mothers Day on Sunday so there are a few things planned that will limit my control on the food available but I'll do my best....and I'll probably want a cocktail on the dock tomorrow if this weather holds up.

5/12 146.2 (trend 146.6) I had a bit of a weight spike over night, probably just water weight from carby snacks last night as I went a bit crazy with bread sticks and veggies with dip. I picked up my husband from the airport yesterday evening and was starving hungry after 6 hours in the car, so lost a bit of control. We also went to the pub for a pint and a catch up, so that didn't help! I'm glad to be getting back to my normal routine but also a bit worried about the extra temptation that spending time with someone who is a foody and eats whatever he wants, brings. I already had to talk him out of a takeaway last night! Fitted in a 4.5 walk in the morning, but no gym.

Ok, good start to the new round. Yesterday I kept my calories extremely low —880 — and while not a smart or sustainable number, once in a while it’s fine, and made me feel more in control. I also took two 30 min walks, and worked 3 hours on my garden makeover. All good. I’m feeling a bit more optimistic and am hoping for a reductive round. 🙂

@Huango @quiltingjaine and any others interested. Continuing the cholesterol test result convo over here since round 222 has ended. Seemed more productive here.
@Huango, that dish looks delicious, and great as a meal. If I were single, and lived alone, I could see adapting to FoK, but living real life with husband, kids, grandkids, and friends, I think I need to eat more traditionally, just better than I am.
So, I listened/watched several Youtubes and podcasts. You can check them out as well. I certainly would love feedback on if I am listening to quacks. :P
What do others know on this topic?
The CHOLESTEROL PANEL Explained | Dr. Robert Lustig & Dr. Casey Means
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUaOqiIJbyM (note, it starts oddly)
Was very interesting, and listened to it twice.
Take away: Total cholesterol is “meaningless”, it is the components that matter. If LDL is high, before being concerned, the Trigliceride/HDL should be calculated. Best under 1.5. For Caucasians, >2.5 is bad, and >1.5 for African americans, and lower is better. LDL is best under 100, and HDL really should be greater than 60 if you can, but this number apparently has a genetic component. Sugar turns into VLDL which turns into sdLDL, which is the bad component of ones LD that is not broken out by the test, but can be extrapolated by ones Tri and VLDL numbers. Remove sugar from diet to best get numbers in line. To check on liver function, which relates to all the above, look at ones ALT. General population one should be under 25, and 20 for African americans. Lastly, if one can obtain a fasting insulin test, the number should be under 6.0.
My own numbers on printout:
Total Cholesterol 229 which is greater than 200 and flagged “high”, but ignoring for now
Triglycerides, after 13 hour fast were 88 and below the 150 (good)
HDL, 64 > 40 (good)
LDL, 147 > 130 and flagged High
Non-HDH, 165 and >160, and flagged high
VLDL 18 and perfect
Ratio Chol/HDL 3.6 and perfect
But now my tri/HCL ratio is 1.375 and nicely under 1.5, so according to video that is perfect. My ALT is 13, which is nicely under 25, so liver is running “good”. VLDL is great, so my “bad” LDL should be made up more of the hbLDL which is cardiac neutral.
All and all, I feel better about the number, BASED ON THIS VIDEO.
How to Read and Understand Your Cholesterol Levels
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBXOB3J3b6w
Take aways: cholesterol important for skin, hormones, brain activity. Side effect of low cholesterol and statins is memory loss. Discussed LDL and HDL as cholesterol transport vehicles. LDL should be under 130. HDL male >40, female >47. Triglicerides <150. Tri/HDL < 2 good, >6 bad. Clean up cholesterol by removing sugars, refined carbs, and alcohol. Taking statins based on total C is wrong. 75% cholesterol is made in body, 25% is from diet.
Podcasts from Optimal health daily:
Listened to episodes 2124 and 1865:
Take aways: get soluble fiber (removes cholesterol), Omega 3’s good, 25% of all your cholesterol is in your brain making up the myelin and essential for learning and memory, sleep is key. Stains have memory loss as side effect.
“Health rarely comes out of a bottle”
7 Foods That Lower Bad Cholesterol (LDL)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVaFEanJAUs
Take aways: ask for Advanced Lipid profile test LDL-P, sdLDL leads to metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, diabetes, obesity and is atherogenic due to glycation and oxidation. sdLDL number is 3X predictor of cardiac disease. Statins will lower “total cholesterol” but do not lower sdLDL and may even increase it. Can lower via diet (cut out sugar and refined carbs), exercise, TUDCA. Good foods are avocados, fish oil w/ Omega 3/EPA, EVOO (the real stuff), pistachios, dark chocolate (no sugar ), almonds, walnuts.
Will keep listening. Definitely looking for discussion, in any direction. Enjoy!
On another note, I looked at my parents labs and med lists, and a lot of the above makes sense in the context of their health statuses.2 -
@pezhed Have you found a decent travel scale? I used to travel with one but the results were never consistent. Would love to find one.
Also, your kitties are so cute!!2 -
