Yes! They do work. As a writer of murder mysteries, I get a kick out of reading the label—a litany of highly toxic ingredients, but in minuscule amounts. I wonder how many bottles it would take….nevermind! 😇
@SheilaBoneham Will it become your next murder weapon?3 -
@SModa61 The PM version is sublingual and dissolves AND helps instantly. (Just in case I didn’t say that earlier!)3

Hellooooo! I totally forgot to post yesterday to finish round 227....but basically it was a wash. I maintained in a two pound range through the whole month of June. Came to the conclusion that this summer is going to be tricky to keep to any type of routine so I'm ok with just trying to stay where I am until fall when we settle back to normal at home. We leave for our UK trip on the 9th so I won't be able to finish this round...but will keep this part of what little routine I have going until then.
Female - 51yrs - 5'5"
Goal Weight - to hang out somewhere 145-150
R227 EW - 166.6
7/1 - 166.0 - Happy Canada Day to all the Canadian 10 Dayers!!!
7/2 - 164.4 - I blipped down to 164.x last round too...maybe I've got it in me? Over 16000 steps and 45 flights of stairs yesterday from walking to work and running around the store and stock room. I now have two days off in Muskoka...Since I started this job I haven't had a day off to enjoy up here, I've been running back and forth to home. I think we will go for a kayak before lunch and then hang out on the dock. It's going to be a hot one.
7/3 - 165.0 - A bit of a bounce back up....not surprising. We went on a growler run to one of our favourite breweries after our kayak yesterday....so there was craft beer on the dock.
7/4 - 166.0 - still here in the 2lb range. TOM is due any moment now so there's bloat and cravings in my near future.
7/5

7/8 - - this week went wonky....totally forgot to post and left my scale at my parents place when I came back home to get packed up and organized for our trip. I'll be back when we return...

Marlene, wine has sugar and I react to that. I made it a habit to drink a big glass of water after each glass of wine.SheilaBoneham wrote: »quiltingjaine wrote: »@SModa61 Yes, Hyland’s Leg Cramps!!

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.

7/1 127.5 Great way to start the round.
7/2 127.0
7/3 127.0 Supposed to meet high school friend for lunch but I’m sending DH to Urgent Care since he’s still congested and coughing.
7/4 127.5 🇺🇸Happy Birthday USA🇺🇸I wish all of my fellow Americans a wonderful day. Okay with this slight uptick, OMAD was a beef chimichanga with my HS friend and my DH. That certainly would have been a better choice without the tortilla but they are made in house and SOOO good! I wasn’t hungry the rest of the day but should have had a lot more water. Between spending about 4 hours in the car and sitting about 6 hours at the racetrack in temperature over 105. . . I drank a lot of water when we got home after 11PM and went to bed. Community “picnic” this afternoon - hot dogs, hamburgers, sides I don’t eat. I will indulge in an adult beverage and perhaps dessert.
7/5 128.5 Indulge I did. And we ate 3 hours later than I like. I woke with foot cramp and later calf cramp during the night.
7/6 127.5 OMAD was beef brisket. I order 1#, eat what I want and bring home the “planned overs.” I was going to have some vegetables when we got home but wasn’t hungry.
7/7 127.5 Getting together with my gal pals this afternoon - first time in a long time.5 -

Round 228
MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
ROUND 185 FOR ME.
“Today….I am choosing Me”
MY STATS:

Original starting weight on MFP: (01-11-2018) 235.0
R227 EW= 198.2
R228 EW= TBD
Current New Goals:
Weight:
Short Term Goal: To weigh less at the end of this round than I did at the end of the last round.
Final goal: 145-155. We’ll see how I look & feel when I get there.
Exercise: Move 30 minutes per day rotating activity.
Mini challenge: My monthly goal is always about 5 pounds per month. HOWEVER, I never seem to make that. I will continue to keep that goal because it Should Be achievable (even though it is not for me) but never say never, right? So, Between Independence Day Holiday (July 4th) and Labor Day Holiday (Sept 4th) I will weigh somewhere, ANYWHERE in the 180’s. I don’t care if it’s on the brim. I’ve got to start getting further away from the 200’s again! Starting Weight on 7/4 is 195.4.
COLOR CODE: Fuchsia is a Happy Weight Loss for me. Blue is a sad weight gain.Black is no change.

07/06 -196.6- (Trend weight 197.0)
07/07 -195.6- (Trend weight 196.8) Because I stay up so late, if I don’t eat dinner very very late (10 pm – Midnight) I will get too hungry and will end up in a binge. I think the fact that I only sleep about 4 hours per night (leaving a 20 hour eating window) is the biggest culprit but I have never seemed to need more than 4 hours per night. About once per week I make up for it with a 6 hour night usually. So planning my meals and snacks can be difficult. This is how I have been handling it lately: I try to do Intermittent Fasting (if sugar doesn’t drop) making my first meal around 3 – 4:00 pm. Because of IF I usually only eat two meals. Snack about 7-8:00 pm. Dinner 10-Midnight. Snack about 2 hours after dinner (usually 1 oz nuts and 1 square of 90% cacao dark chocolate.) The last snack is pretty close to bedtime but I’m usually getting a bit hungry again by then. The fat content usually shows up on my scale in the morning (like it did today) which is frustrating. I have tweaked and tweaked but my stomach seems to be the boss. I’ve ABSOLUTELY got to avoid hunger at night or it’s not pretty! I’ll literally clean the pantry out! Something I’ve noticed that I found strange: If I haven’t eaten yet (during my IF) I can go without food with no problem. But once I eat my first meal at 3:30 or 4:00 pm, I am hungry more frequently for the rest of the day/night. I also obsess about food more often once I’ve had it. Very weird.
07/08 -195.8- (Trend weight 196.7) Fluctuation uptick. Trend weight has been looking good. I am on a new personal challenge for myself. It is listed at the top in red. On paper it is very do-able. In reality, um….well…..hmm….

7/4: 133.2 - Hmm…I thought I did pretty well yesterday. Holding steady.
7/5: 133.4 - Too many sweet treats yesterday
7/6: 134.5 - I had a great day yesterday with a good workout, good sleep and not eating back my exercise calories. The scale is finally catching up with my past sins.
7/7: 132.9 - And back to where I started this round. 2 days in a row of good workouts and not eating back my exercise calories.

Very happy to see that I have truly recovered from that week or two of illness, not tracking, not exercising and some bad snacking. I'm still working out how the body fat percentage works - bf is up but weight is down? But I guess an overall average decrease is what you want. Something else I am taking note of is the effects of the type of exercise I do. The last 3 days I did 1 cardio and 2 metcon (metabolic conditioning) and they're only short workouts but fairly intensense and full body, combining strength and cardio. I'm wondering if the internet is correct in saying metcon is really effective for for weight loss 🤔

My main goal this round is to not comfort eat. I need to find other ways of coping. I will try to exercise the adrenaline away to minimise the damage to my body from stress. I will also use my ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) skills to work through my anxiety.
Round 228 SW: 159.0 lbs (trend 160.0)

My weight loss has been unusually consistent the last few days. In an attempt to not go off track at dinner, I have been trialling a larger snack late in the afternoon. It seems to be doing the trick and I am no longer eating more at dinner than planned.
7/4: 158.3 lbs (trend 159.2)
7/5: 157.9 lbs (trend 159.2)
Another stressful day but hopefully most of the cause of the stress will clear soon.
7/6: 157.4 lbs (trend 159.0)
7/7: 158.1 lbs (trend 158.7)
The kids made cheese cake so I decided to eat at maintenance rather than skip any meals. There are still leftovers so I am mulling whether to have another maintenance day because I want to make some Thai green curry as well.
7/8: 157.2 lbs (trend 158.5)
Managed to stay within my calorie limit despite the leftover cheese cake and green curry.

I don't know why, but walking seems to help the edema in my ankle. Walking around with one compression sock on while wearing shorts is somewhat humbling. Not all "new normals" are fun.
Speaking of normal, here is one I need to change. Does anyone else ever wake up from a "trance" and find yourself standing in front of your open refrigerator without really knowing why or how you got there?
It is not really as dramatic as that, but you get my point maybe.

Happy Independence Day! Went to a parade this morning. Fireworks tonight.
Cooking some ribs today for the family. Trying a new way. Sous vide the ribs for 24 hours. Then finish 45 minutes in the smoker. Fingers crossed.

/Logged it; walking/
Bad habits were kept reasonably in check yesterday.
The highlight of my day was introducing my 6-year-old grandson to the game of chess. A natural progression from tic-tac-toe don't you think?
It all started when we were looking through some of our games at home and he saw the chess board and pieces. He said he wanted to play. (Imagine what was going through my head about teaching a six-year-old how to play chess !) I decided to power through it. Hahaha .
I was thoroughly amazed how well he stuck with it. All the way to the end. He loves Minecraft and Zelda, so it was refreshing to see him enjoy something without a screen.
His dad is addicted to video games, and it's kind of rubbing off on him.

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 228 (my 159th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round.
Goal this round is yet again the same as last; to get back under and stay under 139. Holiday to Menorca is in 72 days, if I don’t crack on I’ll be needing to purchase a bigger size in holiday clothes and I do not want to do that. So, 72 days, 7 rounds at a pound per round should easily get me to where I want to be, only I can do it, I’ve done it before so I can do it again if I knuckle down otherwise before I know it I be up in the 150’s. Cuz that’s how weight just keeps creeping up on one !!! Really try to stay on track. After all I am what I eat in more ways than one, my whole demeanour is totally different when I am happy with myself!!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!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

7/1 139.2 – 5.8 miles walked, calories 247, carbs 50g & fat 17g over. We travelled down to St. Neots in Cambridgeshire for a 5 day break (brought scales with me !!) had cheese & crackers for lunch, with small glass port – mmmm. But restricted portion.
7/2 138.8 – 14.73 miles walked, 1 third of exercise calories eaten back.
7/3 139 – 7.38 miles walked. We were at an airshow at Shuttleworth, so the miles were done in 5 short walks; the woodland walk, round the gardens, up to the house & then back and also an evening walk back at the campsite after tea. All exercise calories eaten back.
7/4 139 – 9.85 miles walked mostly around the ground of Wrest Park, beautiful English Heritage property. 80% exercise calories eaten back.
7/5 140.4 – that’s what pizza does! 10.13 miles walked, all calories eaten back.
7/6 140.4 – 11.68 miles walked, 40% exercise calories eaten back.
7/7 140.4 – no structured walking, childminding little DGS, all exercise calories eaten back.
7/8. DNW - came away in the caravan for the weekend to a steam rally, forgot to put the scales in! But, 10.24 miles walked yesterday and only 15% exercise calories eaten back. Determined to stay strong today, all that cider will be calling me, only had half a can last night and a taste is enough!
7/9 DNW- will be home tomorrow for final day weigh in.4.81 meandering miles clocked up whilst viewing all the exhibits at the show, was so tired at the end of the day; slow walking and standing tired me out more than a shorter period at fast pace!! 172 calories over.

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.

7/8 - 187.4 - Took Farley for a walk, we didn’t go as far because he was puling too much. Hubby's friend came over last night to play pool. I spent my evening watching Grey's. I started watching this a while ago on Netflix and only have 3 seasons left. My step count was not good but it was a stress free day. 6,985 Steps (28,014 left), 1 Floor (54 left), 36 Zone Minutes (166 Left).

Previous Day's Comments7/1 - 189.6 - tracked food, Strength training - rest day, 8,488 steps (71,512 left), 9 Floors done ( 71 left), 59 Zone Minutes ( 391 left). 56oz water, under goal. Over all it was a good day. Got out for a 45 minute walk/run with Fraley.
7/2 - 189.4 - bad day. Didn't track, didn't wear Fitbit most of the day 1,894 steps (69,618 left) 1 Floor (70 left), 5 Zone Minutes (386 left). Water not tracked. Smoke and bad air quality was back.. Spent the day baking donuts and watching TV, not great.
7/3 - 190.4- good day, didn’t track my food that well . Strength training completed, 6,902 steps (62,716 left), 5 Floors (65 left), 31 Zone Minutes (355 left).
7/4 - 191.6 - overall good day. Didn’t track food or water I really need to get this on lock. Rest day from strength training, muscles are sore from the other day. 9,443 steps (53,273 left), 3 floors ( 62 left), 31 Zone minutes (324 left). I listened to 2 episodes of the coaches cup podcast. Took Farley for a walk last evening, we didn’t go as far the other day but we got out and he had fun
7/5 - 190.4 - average day, it got a little hot in the afternoon and the smoke was really bad again from the fires. I finished tracking my food this morning. I was over for my calorie count. My water was little low, still need to work on that. 8,752 steps (44,521 left), 4 floors (58 left), 81 Zone Minutes (243 left). Farley and I didn't get out for our walk due to the air quality. I did a new strength training workout. Found it on YouTube Senior Fitness Seated Dumbbell Workout For Beginners | 20 Min, it is part of a workout series Senior Fitness with Meredith. I think that I am going to continue to use this one.
7/6 - 189.8, not the best day. Started out really good, but then the pull of my chair and cheese pleasures got to me. Thinking that maybe I should throw out my chair or at least make it so that I can't just sit easily. I tracked my food this morning, which is better then not tracking but I need to get in the habit of tracking as the day goes. I was just under for my calorie count, barely and in truth because I didn’t track as I ate I probably under represented what I ate. My water intake is still very low, need to work on that. 5,961 steps (38,560 left), 2 Floors (56 left), 36 Zone Minutes (207 left). Farley and I did not get out for a walk last night it was simply too hot for him. I think that I am going to have to start taking him in the morning.
7/7 - 190.0 - Did the second day of my weight workout, again at 2lbs. Thinking that on Sunday when I do it again I will increase my weight to 5lbs. Had a visit from a friend and helped him out with some computer stuff. I didn’t take any time to sit around in my chair until after dinner. My step count was horrible. I did nothing almost all day and man does it show. 3,561 Steps (34,999 left), 1 Floor (55left), 5 Zone Minutes (202 left). Farley and I did not get out for a walk again.
