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.

We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

5/22 - 184
Nothing new.

5/23 - 183.8
I have a lot of busyness coming up this week in the mornings — this morning, Booker has class and will take his Urban Canine Good Citizen test. Tomorrow a zoom meeting with my writers group. Friday mammogram and bone density scan. I guess I have Thursday to work in the garden. 🙂 Anyway, Sunday I baked a cake, which DH asked for and, honestly, I’d been craving. It was good and I feel I got that out of my system for a while with minimal damage. So this afternoon I’m planning to get various salad fixings ready for easy use the rest of the week—chop chop chop. We’re having gorgeous weather, clear and just verging on hot. Perfect for all the planting and weeding I need to do. I thought I’d share a pic of one of my favorite easy summer lunches—makes me think of the time I spent studying in Cairo wayyyy back. Stuffed grape leaves (I love My Greek Mezze brand from Greece), tomato, hard-boiled egg, good olives. Sometimes I add hummus (Cedar’s brand is my favorite) and/or sliced bell pepper or celery. Savory, low cal, satisfying. Have a great day. All!

5/24 - 183.8
Yesterday was a good, busy day. Booker passed his Urban Canine Good Citizen test with flying colors. Good boy! And I mostly ate responsibly. 🙂

5/25 - 183.6
Yesterday felt busy but I don’t seem to have gotten much done. Today I get my strength training—I need to move a small lilac and remove two dead plants (shovel involved), and put down landscape fabric in another area. And pull more blankety blank weeds! All of which burns a few calories and keeps me out of the kitchen!

5/26 - 183.6
I can’t believe it’s Friday already. Today I have my long-overdue mammogram and dexascan, then more garden work. Have to take advantage of the gorgeous weather! Have a lovely!

5/27 - 183.6
Good news on my DEXA scan yesterday—I’ve increased my bone density since last time and am just barely over the line for osteopenia. So I’m making more improvement before my next scan in two years one of my goals. Nutrition and exercise! It actually perked me up to see that. Right now I’m not worried about strength training with all the garden redesign I’m doing, but I need to get back to regular strength training. I’ve been haphazardly tracking my calcium intake but am going to pay more attention to that as well. I do not want a broken hip! Ok, speaking of…off to walk the pup and then get to work on the garden redo. Enjoy your Saturday!

5/28 - 183.6
Deja vu all over again! That’s ok, especially since I ate a big bowl of ice cream last night. I worked about 6 hours in the garden, so I’m not shaming myself for that. More gardening today after a walk with the pup. Have a great day, all!

5/29 - 184.4
And there’s the ice cream fest. That’s fine, I’m back on track. Be safe and happy this holiday, everyone.

5/27-164-Took a quick fun trip with my dad and our friend to a casino. Made a quilt for a wedding today and starting on the next one. Rode the horse yesterday with the bareback pad instead of the saddle and did a bunch of trotting and am sore today.
5/29-163-Went to the wedding and danced a ton. Stayed up too late and had to nap yesterday. Finally got a 5 mile walk in and hope to walk and ride the horse today. Onto the next quilt.

@musicsax and @SModa61
I too was wondering how @musicsax fits ALL of the walking in. When I am not getting enough exercise, I realize I am not planning my life around it. I live out in the country and have a quiet road to walk on but there is no public restroom. I love seeing how much you walk @musicsax , you are truly an inspiration!!!!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

@Machias1949 I am also on statins and resisted taking (couldn't tolerate the first 2 types but after 2 stents consider myself stuck). What is this about muscle damage? Have noticed get leg, ankle cramps much more often out of the blue. It raised my blood glucose level. Also think it affects cognition too. I'm already taking a bunch of supplements but don't think the Q10 is among them.???

I have been unreliable and inconsistent for 6 rounds now and as a result I have gained almost 4 pounds. I must get this back on track now or I will be back to over 200 pounds in no time. So I am going to: calorie count, get 20 active minutes each day, and I am going to start writing a journal of my thoughts around food when I am feeling mentally weak.

SW RND 224: 166.7 lbs

5/22: 165.3 lbs
This drop is just because I was eating much less than I have been eating recently. I wrote in my journal in the afternoon when I really wanted to eat even though I wasn't hungry. I think seeing my thoughts on paper really helped to focus my mind on my goals.

5/23: 164.9 lbs
I really wanted some chocolate while I was walking through the shops but I resisted the temptation. Recently if I wanted a treat, there would be a millisecond between the thought and eating it. I am working on increasing the time from thought to action to give myself time to consider my goals and rethink what I want in that moment.

5/24: 164.5 lbs
I snacked in the afternoon. I didn't even think to journal it was so mindless. I have put my journal on the dining table now so hopefully it will be more visible and that will remind me of what I need to do.

5/25: 164.9 lbs
I am back to my old habit of eating the kids leftovers. I need to keep repeating this quote from James Clear in my head: "Every action you take is a vote for the person you wish to become."

I ate too many dried apricots. I am stressed at the moment and eating has been my coping mechanism. I need something to relieve stress in the moment while I am working. I think I will try some different types of tea or chewing gum and see how that goes.

'Twas the night of pizza. There are leftovers and I will account for them in my calorie budget.

TOM started and hence I have become a beach ball. Hopefully I will deflate in the next few days.

Round 224: JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS

Hi, I’m Amanda, almost 50, wicked short 4’11” from New England.

My 1st goal is for mid-June (trip to LA/Vegas),
2nd goal for mid-August.

Appreciate all your support.

- Pre-plan meals for the day
- Daily movement
- No Late Night Snacking

Round 221 SW: 126.8
Round 222 SW: 122.6 ⬇️ debloated 4.2#
Round 223 SW: 121.0 ⬇️ 1.6#
Round 224 SW: 118.8 ⬇️ 2.2#
Round 224 GW: 117.0

5/22: 118.6 ⬇️

Staying focused!
I’m much better when I have a hard deadline with a set goal to achieve by then.

4 separate pull-ups this morning!

I think 1 reason I’ve struggled with food is because I grew up poor.
So I have trouble with wasting food, or trying to get my money’s worth at buffets, or like today, at my daughter’s high school concert there’s potluck refreshments. Usually, I would get a few items EVEN IF I’M NOT HUNGRY. How can I not take food when it’s there and “free” (when I donated ~$20 in watermelon/fruit salad, plus our entrance fees)?

So I am working on not focusing on the food. I don’t need to take food, just because it’s free and it’s there. I’m there to watch my daughter perform, not for the free food.

TMI – that loss is mainly from the bathroom

What’s working for me now is to basically just eat 2 – 3 meals a day, and no snacking in between or at night.
**BUT** the diet makes me nervous about going out to eat or getting together with friends involving food.
When it’s just me and my house/family, I have total control of what I make/serve. But at a restaurant, unless I just eat plain salads, AND forgo drinks, I’m afraid to give into temptations.

==> ==> How do you manage your social life while working on losing weight?

I don’t mean special occasions.
My son’s birthday is tomorrow, so I’ll enjoy a lovely dinner with family, AND looking forward to amazing tres leches cake.

5/24 – 118.4 ⬆️
So excited! It’s my son’s 19th birthday today; he has his last final exam at MIT; we have dinner plans for Peking Duck at a great Boston restaurant, then we move him home to have some yummy tres leches cake.
It feels like I’ve spent his entire life nudging/pushing **INTO** a college, and we blink and he’s done with his 1st year of college.

5/25 – 118.6 ⬆️
I’m surprised I didn’t gain more weight, after last night’s amazing dinner and tres leches cake. I haven’t had this much carbs/sugar in a month.
Let’s see if the weight gain increases tomorrow, so I’ll know how my body handles the re-introduction of carbs into my system.

That bday dinner/cake day wasn’t that bad in terms of weight gain. It could have been worse.
2.5 more weeks until I see my CA family. Staying focused: helps that I have no food cravings, and the weather is fantastic, so I’m moving all about.

Had so much fun last night line dancing; burned some calories!
3 instructors taught newbies (me) a few dance moves, and then we try to not mix them up/forget them. Hahahhaa

Beautiful morning for a nice walk/chat with gf.
Going to the Revolution soccer game tonight w/ hubby.

5/28 – 119.4 ⬆️
Went out to dinner after the Revs game. I was doing ok (beef skewers/Diet Coke), but I gave into hub’s fantastic potato wedges. Thus, the weight gain/bloating.

**NSV: I wore a pair of jeans that I haven’t worn since I purchased them a few years ago. They fit great, made my butt look amazing! **

I am SUFFERING from a tooth infection. Have an appt on Wednesday, but hoping they can do something on Tuesday. Poor me.

5/29 – 117.8 ⬇️ debloating
My right cheek is all puffy from my tooth infection. ☹

Beautiful day ==> great walk with friends/catching up

Thanks.

I'm sure I need antibiotics.

I think it's the same tooth I had a root canal 4weeks ago; had a rash reaction to the amoxicillin.
I actually have a check-up appt on Wednesday; I will call them tomorrow (they were closed all long weekend/Monday).

Excited to start a new round. I love the feeling of starting afresh every 10 days with a clean slate. My goal this round is to tighten up my logging so it is more accurate (weighing as opposed to eyeballing). And to be outside enjoying the warm weather!

5/29. 145.0 lbs. Not sure why it went back up. I dug up garden beds yesterday. It went up last time I dug out garden beds too. Maybe from all the dirt wedged into my fingernails! At least there are no more beds that need prepping. I’m all ready for planting next weekend.
