    I couldn’t log in to do the post or to ask someone to do it. I appreciate you doing it.

    I’m so happy to see my MFP family continues to grow! I’m home, I’m exhausted and seriously need to get with the program!

    So good to read this, was getting a little worried about you, was struggling to remember how long you were cruising for! Hope you had a marvellous time and made lots of happy memories, welcome back x.

    @musicsax @quiltingjaine Music, thank you for looking after us. <3 Quiltingjaine, thank you for providing this group for us, and welcome back! Rest up!

    @musicsax I am finally going to ask, after wondering, like forever. How do you fit in all that mileage each day? Taking a 10 mile day, for example. I walk pretty darned fast, and that would take me over two hours. Doing that as often as you, is a lot lot of walking time. Is some formal, and some incidental? You are amazing!

    My 13th Round
    Age 53, 5’4”
    HW: 345 lbs (Aug 2005)
    CW: 149.4 lbs
    GW: 135 lbs

    This round's daily goals:

    1. 1500 calories 5/5 days –
    2. 15k steps 5/5 days – 😊
    3. 10 cups fluids 5/5 days –
    4. 10 mins strength training 5/5 days –
    5. 10 mins bike ride 5/5 days –
    6. 10 mins guided meditation 5/5 days –
    7. Attend work 100% hrs 3/3 days -

    5/22 – DNW
    5/23 – 149.4 lbs – Hi folks. I’m back from my diet break. I was feeling okay, psychologically, but I weighed myself this morning (my shorts felt tight yesterday) and I am dangerously close to the limit I set for myself in February. I said I would stay under 150 lbs for one year, and if I can accomplish that, I will start the process of getting a circumferential body lift. According to MFP my weight has been trending up since April 14th. I need to check myself before I wreck myself. Lol. I also saw pics of myself from the weekend – I’m still fat. ☹ So, I am pretty angry/grouchy/annoyed/scared/ etc. Why can’t I just be normal and have a normal body? Why is everything so hard?? Anyway, enough of wallowing in my self pity. I better get back to it. I have set my goal weight back down to 135 lbs, and set some daily goals for myself for this round. I hope everyone has been doing well while I was away – physically, emotionally and mentally. I missed y’all and reading about your progress. 😊
    5/24 – 148 lbs – Moving in the right direction! I am 13 lbs to goal. I can do this! 😊 I did not do very well in terms of meeting my daily goals, yesterday. I barely had any fluids all day and I didn’t walk the dog even once (hubby is here and he took care of it, as I was feeling very overwhelmed about everything) so my step count was BLAH! The only thing I did accomplish was attend work for my full work-day, but even with that I was pretty unproductive. I only was able to do the “urgent” things that came up, not the other stuff that is on my to-do list. I guess my goal for today is just to do a bit better in everything than I did yesterday, even if I can’t hit my daily goals. I guess it is not shocking that I will need to sort of gear up to things, again. One thing I need to think about doing is some batch cooking (which I’d need to do groceries for, first). Some of you may have noticed that Jenny Craig went out of business! So no more Jenny food for me. I better look up some recipes. Lol. Well, I better get out there and walk the dog. Have a great day, everyone! 😊
    5/25 – 146.2 lbs – Phewf, still going down. Thank goodness. I did a lot better, yesterday! I was very productive at work, bumped up my fluids quite a bit, and got 15,576 steps for the day. So that is a pretty good improvement over the day before. 😊 My calories were a bit higher than I would have liked, but I can keep trying to dial it in. 11.2 lbs from goal. I got this!! I think today I should make a point of getting my B12 shot (I am 10 days late, so feeling very run down) and also actually taking my exercise bands out of the bag they came in! I quit the gym (the monthly fee shot up way out of my price range) and I am supposed to be using these exercise bands and some body weight exercises as my strength training, but I have yet to use them! I am thinking that it might be helpful for me to just start small – maybe shoot to do 10 mins of strength training, and aim to do some stuff every day, instead of thinking I need to do a full hour every second day, or whatever. If I can make it more achievable, and also do it every day, then I might be able to build the habit. As I get better at remembering to do it, then I can do more and more as I go on. I think I will aim for 10 mins, for today, and I will say it can be any type of strength exercise. I will report back tomorrow! Also, hubby fixed up the bikes, so I can go for a ride any time! I should ask him to go, tonight after work. He heads out for San Diego, tomorrow morning, so I should make a point of hanging out with him tonight. Okay, so I just added to my phone calendar, as daily reminders: 10 mins strength exercises, 10 mins guided meditation, 10 mins bike ride, >60 mins walk:run and 10 cups of fluids. I will try to do these every day, but I won’t beat myself up if I cannot get to all of them. Frankly, it is only 90 mins of “me” time, I should be able to make it happen. 😊
    5/26 – 146.6 lbs – Um. So 10 PM McDonald’s happened last night. Really not much more to say, than that!
    5/27– 146.6 lbs – At 10 PM last night, I wanted McDonald’s again! What the heck! I was able to prevent myself from ordering Skip, but I did go out to the kitchen and eat a tangerine and a can of corn (cuz I’m a classy bish!). So, a lot of carbs, but probably not as much caloric damage. Anyway, I have decided that as of today I am scrapping the first half of this Round and calling a do-over. Lol. I have revised my daily goals and I’ll see what I can accomplish for the last 5 days of this Round. I guess my first weight-loss goal would be to get back to 140 lbs (which I imagine will take me a few rounds). I don’t like being so close to 150 lbs. If I go over 150 I have to start counting the 12 months all over again till I can plan my circumferential body lift. As of next Friday it will be 4 months, so I want to keep going. I am actually kind of shocked that I’ve made it this far. Like, 150 might be a lot to most of you but to me it is the lightest I’ve been in my entire life (at least since the age of 13). Oh! I just realized that as of today I am 10 months sober. That is pretty decent. 😊

    Proud of you!!
    Also, 10 minutes here and there add up. I often do 10 minutes of strength exercise during the day. It doesn’t have to be on full hour to be effective. Also, it helps break it up so it doesn’t seem like as much to do. You’ve got this!!!

    @musicsax said “I really need to rein things in.”

    I’m with you on that. The 2.5# cruise gain puts me 13.5# above my 😃 weight. LET’S DO THIS!

    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 6 years with amazing results!

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
