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

Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

"Do or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

SW RND 229 128.5
This will be a round of food danger for me. We’re going to southern Illinois where everything has added sugar - LOTS of added sugar. I will weigh on the first day and then head to the airport. I will be without a scale until the 20th.
7/11 128.0 We’re on the plane headed to St Louis and southern Illinois. No scale until the 20th when we get back home. I’m also going without my Keto Mojo until then.
7/12 DNW Finally ate at destination and splurge on all things. Margarita and chimichanga, no rice or beans. Because of time zone changes we were on my OMAD schedule.
7/13 DNW Day 2 of reunion trip. We ate lunch at our favorite local BBQ place and have decided our place in Las Vegas is better. OMAD at noon was pork chop and 8 corn nuggets - another food marked off the list as not as good as I remember it. It’s amazing how my taste has changed. Even the tiny taste of blackberry cobbler was MEH. Posting really early due to screwed up body clock/time zone switch. (Posted 12:18am 7/13)
7/14 DNW Our daughters and most of our grands arrived. It seems the local people in the younger generations aren’t interested. I doubt we’ll do this again. My 84 year old SIL is stressing over food since we are basically guessing how many will show up. And it seems she and I are doing the shopping because only 1 or 2 have said they will be coming and bring something. DD#2 and her family were delayed 2 hours leaving Las Vegas. No good when traveling with a 1 year old toddler.
7/15 DNW DH , DSIL and I agree that this will probably be the last reunion. There is only one of the original generation left and he is coming from Florida with one of DH’s cousins. The younger generation (kids around our kids age- 50s) seem to have other things to do. No one can commit time or effort to help. It’s sad.
Yesterday we took our girls to the three area cemeteries where family are buried. They made sure they are all documented on the “Find a Grave” website. Today is the reunion gathering. Clearly these activities with family are keeping me busy. I’m 4 pages behind on posts and can’t find mine from yesterday although I DID write it in my journal. DH will be waking soon and we’ll hit the road to get over to the reunion site. Food choices have not been great. It is what it is. We haven’t been here since 2016. Lots of catching up to do and many palates to satisfy.
7/16 Reunion yesterday was very nice. Only 45 in attendance. We didn’t have a sign in sheet as we have in the past. Today our girls and their families will probably come to my SIL’s before heading home. Ate a lot of food I haven’t eaten in years.
7/17 The girls and their families got home safely although the younger one left behind several items she wants us to add to our suitcases! We may need another bag!
7/18 It’s nice tone back in southern Illinois but the humidity is awful. We drove over to Carbondale yesterday after visiting with friends in Marion for several hours. Back to where it all started almost 54 years ago. I wish I had taken more pictures of the campus. It is beautiful really. Tomorrow night we fly home.
7/19 This afternoon we drive to St. Louis and fly back home tonight. We’ve been having thunder, lightning and rain storms. I’m not excited about driving in that weather. Or riding. Flash flood warning until noon. Y the view out our hotel window. At least 8” of water.
7/20 133.0 We got home at 11:30 last night. Travel from Marion, Illinois to St. Louis Lambert was without incident. Truly surprised weight isn’t worse! I know I have often said that there is sugar in everything in southern Illinois but this trip really pointed out how NOT eating sugar has made me able to taste it in everything! It’s no wonder I blossomed to 197 when we moved there. This round an average of +0.5# per day! On to 230!

@itladyee I am so very sorry for your loss. Yoda is certainly beautiful and now graces a much more lovely place than this tired old earth. You will meet again, I am sure of it.

BringIt2023 · July 2023

Hi Everyone – Looking forward to another challenge, my 5th.
Female, 5’4”, 57 years of age
HW: 210 (May, 2022)
CW: 148.6
GW: still don’t know… hope I’ll know it when I see it in the mirror… chasing a “healthy” BMI first… I suppose I should put quotations around “healthy BMI” because I have read recently that BMI is either a made-up number, or a good tool for docs to use when assessing health related to weight and height, all depending on what you read. In any event, when I look in the mirror, I know that I have fat where I should not, therefore, I need to lose more fat. Whatever my weight is at that point will be my goal.

Goals: Continue working on same goals from previous round because it seems to have worked!
Cardio: 8/10 days (only days I struggle with this are Sunday and Wednesday due to lack of time)
Bodyweight Train: 3/10 days <- The biggest struggle of mine currently. Really need to do this!
Logging Food: 10/10 days (using a food scale every time!)

SW RND 229: 148.6
7/11: 148.4 – had a very early medical test this morning… glad that is over. Work has been extra stressful these past couple of days… the kind of stress where I walk into the office and get called into 3 peoples’ offices before I set my stuff down and boot up my computer… really makes me want to stick my face into a pie or cake or something… but I’m not going to do it. I’ve come so far this last year, I have no desire to undo that hard work. Tonight, I have Zumba after work – YAY! I need to go back to RND 228 and catch up with everyone, but I hope you all are well, hugs to everyone!!
7/12: 148.2 - Phew, thank goodness yesterday is in my rear view! Still stressful at work, and now I need to have ANOTHER medical test done... Geesh. By the time I am done, I think my whole entire body's innards will have been seen by all medical professionals in this area. I am not complaining (much, well, yes, I am complaining), I know they need to check things out and I could be on the other end of this needing to see medical professionals and not being able to get an appointment. I am grateful they are taking the time to make sure I am as healthy as I can be. Take care of your liver people - no joke!
7/13: 147.7 - Ok, the stress is getting to me. It's just life stuff, just work stuff, but dang. Why why why do I feel the need to stuff these feelings down with food? I am sitting here at my computer having an internal conversation in my head, trying to be a good friend to myself... just breathe, it's all going to work out okay, you don't need that food to fix this, you will only feel worse afterward. Do you think anyone would notice if I sat here with duct tape across my mouth? I am going to write 147.7 on a big post-it note and put it in front of my face. Hugs to everyone who is struggling!!!

7/14: 148 - Feeling so much better today. Had a great cardio dance workout last night - sweat my patootie off. Dripping, disgusting sweat always makes me feel better afterward! Things are quieter here at the office so I feel like I can breathe again for the first time this week. Looking forward to a weekend with no plans beyond cooking and cleaning (that makes me sound so strange!). Happy Friday!!
7/15: 148
7/16: 148 Nothing exciting to report here... did my Zumba yesterday early morning, cooking, cleaning, laundry, repeat. Dreary and rainy here today, but plan to get some light cardio done later, after my meal prep for the week. Hanging steady weight wise - lower than starting this round, but no exciting movement there either. Sorry to sound so boring...

7/17: 148 - a couple of monkey wrenches thrown into my week. I am going to be as flexible as possible while still staying on plan. I'll need to miss my Zumba class tomorrow night, but I cannot control everything. Right now I am going to control what I eat, and be ok with that. Did my meal prep yesterday so my fridge is full of healthy for me meals for days.
7/18: 148 - feels like a theme. Another monkey wrench today, in a good way. DH had been out of town which is why I was going to miss Zumba, so I could be home to care for our son with CP, but DH has made it home earlier than expected, so now I can do Zumba... yay me!
7/19: 147.7 - I am working from home today, jonesing for a sweet fluffy treat of the pastry variety (my addiction). Luckily there is no such thing in my home, but there is flour, eggs, butter, sugar, etc. I have even looked up recipes online. Not going to do it though, because I hate washing dishes. I am supposed to be working for crying out loud! I also really and truly want to stabilize in the 147 range instead of needing to type 148 again for the end of this round!!! The weight is coming off in ounces, even 1/2 ounces, but at least it's coming off.
7/20: 147.4 - A new low to end the round - yippee! I survived yesterday without caving... stressful morning today at work, but that is behind me, so now I can have a great rest of the day. Packed my on plan lunch and snack, have 90 minute cardio dance class after work this evening, sunny, not too hot, all good here! See you all in the next round.
Michelle

@itladyee - sending you a really big hug!! So very sorry to hear about your Yoda.

@SModa61 - just another hug because I am sure you need it. Stop feeling badly about not reading... we miss you too! Take care of your family and try to take care of yourself as well!!

@pezhed - CUTIE with the blueberries!!! Thanks for sharing that!

In the end I finished with a 2 lb weight loss, tho my daily numbers were all over the place. It was so smoky here that I was unable to go for my usual 1-2 hour walk for about four days. I'm hoping that was the cause for the lack of weight loss (eating has been okay.. not perfect, but generally ok) that did go down today after I've been able to go back out and resume my daily walks.

Round 229

MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
ROUND 186 FOR ME.

“Today….I am choosing Me”

MY STATS:

Highest weight ever (05-10-2016): 253
Original starting weight on MFP: (01-11-2018) 235.0
R228 EW= 194.4
R229 EW= 196.6

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.

07/18 -198.4- (Trend weight 197.3)

07/19 -197.8- (Trend weight 197.4) Very good prep-cooked meals yesterday and a little exercise. Bad snacks again late last night. I think I dropped the ½ pound on the scale due to fervent prayer as mentioned in James 5:16 KJV of the Bible. I cannot do this alone! I’m planning an excellent day of healthy eating again today. I am going to study my prelogged food and make sure my snacks will be in line but fulfilling. But oh, those cravings! That’s where the prayer comes in!

07/20 -196.6- (Trend weight 197.3) I finally had a good day through and through. I had to eat dinner very late (about midnight) to avoid the late night snack binge but I made it through. My days and meals have been good, it’s just that weird things start happening in the shadows of night and I find myself running from ghosts and fighting monsters. Last night I won. Nice round for so many! I ended up 2.2 lbs but turned it around from higher numbers so there is hope for Round 230. See you there!

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

I think that pretty much sums up what this lifestyle change is all about! Congrats on your success and great attitude about what you're eating! I always had body image issues growing up ever since a cheerleading coach called me "solid", which I know now she didn't mean in a bad way but as a child it really impacted me! I've learned to not comment on children's body types and I will never put my kids on any kind of diet.

@pezhed Thank you so much for your encouragement! I totally agree that commenting on bodies for anyone (especially kids) is a terrible idea. You just never know how it will land with that person. You don't know what they are going through. I used to comment on people's weight and bodies CONSTANTLY and I realize now that although I thought I was being supportive, I totally was not. And I also realized that I did it because my worldview completely revolved around losing weight. IE, being thin = you have value and worth and possibly may be deserving of love. It was so messed up. I am glad I finally learned otherwise.

Better late than never!!!

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!

I don't think we realise how many people are suffering with body image; SIL is skinny, very skinny despite eating well, he tries to gain weight and is very offended if people comment on his size or lack of it. When he was at school a teacher made the comment that he had seen more fat on a lettuce leaf; SIL has never really got over that despite is being more than 25 years ago!!
