About Me:This is my third round and really appreciated the having someplace to stay accountable to.
Thanks to a medication I'm on for my mental health and an overeating habit, I managed to gain a lot of weight in the last year or so. On July 4, I stepped on the scale for the first time since I started the med (that is known to cause weight gain) and decided enough was enough. I buckled down and started actually recording my food for the first time in over five years and started walking every day. Now I need motivation to keep going.

RGW: 273
7/31 - 276.2 - 2.86 miles - Curious that I've increased my walk by nearly two miles and I'm actually gaining weight. I try to stay within the original calorie goal (ignoring exercise calories), but I don't measure everything precisely and I think those calories are starting to add up. I've been wanting lots of snacks, especially since my husband bought potato chips (my trigger food) and I'm now craving them because they are in the house. I spend half my time trying not to think about them. Made chicken noodle soup tonight and it should be about 400 calories for a two cup serving (which fills our soup bowls) but I probably got way more noodles for the first helping because it's all floating on top so who knows how many calories I had. Now I have to convince myself to not have Veggie Straws or a piece of chocolate bar.
8/1 - 273.8 - 2.93 miles - My weight finally went down, but I have no idea why it went so far. I weighed myself twice, once after cleaning underneath the scale to make sure something wasn't affecting it. My body is so weird sometimes. I've decided to try and up my walking to two miles every day this month. It was okay the first three days I did nearly three miles, but today was rough. I have to figure out where I need to turn around for it to be only two miles because my route right now is three miles and it's going to be too hard to keep up long-term right now. But one mile feels way too short now after doing it every day for a month. We'll see how it goes.
8/2 - 273.2 - 2.25 miles - Reduced my miles today because I knew I was going to be doing some hard labor in the yard. My husband bought a bunch of bags of mulch but our side yard is covered in rocks. So I spent almost two hours after my walk, shoveling as much of the rocks as I could and carrying them to the back of our property. Then I put out three bags of mulch. Covered like a 1/5 of the yard. I feel surprisingly well after all that work. No big pains in my back, shoulders or arms. My legs are sore from the walk but that's normal. I'll be out there again tomorrow morning before the heat gets too bad. I have 6 more bags to put out so a lot of rocks to haul. And that definitely will not cover even half probably.
8/3 - 272.0 - 2.72 miles - Definitely walked too far today. I didn't feel too sore from yesterday, but my knee started aching after the first mile but I just kept going. Then by the time I got home it was really hurting and I still needed to work in the yard. I spent about an hour and a half (maybe longer), shoveling rocks and moving them to the back of the property. I also climbed all over the back, cutting down blackberry bushes that took over the neighbor's property and are encroaching into ours (although the blackberries are delicious in the summer, they are an invasive species and will take over your entire yard). I think I laid three bags of mulch today, but I don't feel like I got as much done. Then I had to come in and fix the washing machine that flooded the laundry room last night. And when I went to get some soup for dinner, I found out my husband had eaten the entire container which was at least 3 or 4 bowls. So I made a box of red beans and rice with andouille sausage in it. Tomorrow is more shoveling rocks and watching my grandson all day.
8/4 - 271.4 - 3.05 miles - Well, that mileage isn't accurate for my walk because I forgot to turn the tracking app off when I got home so it tracked me walking all over my property for over an hour, lol. I shoveled more rocks and put down one bag of mulch but I feel like I got nothing done. There's still a huge pile of rocks right where it was when I started. I did cut down a dead bush that was there also. Can't seem to get the roots up, though. I went on my walk late so was working in the yard in the afternoon when it was getting really hot. I gave up after almost two hours of feeling like I did nothing but make myself miserable. Hopefully, I get more done tomorrow.
8/5 - 270.0 - 2.07 miles - Spent two hours in the yard again. It seems to be my limit of what I can handle before I'm exhausted and dripping in sweat (literally, it kept dripping onto my glasses every time I bent down then my vision was blurry). Laid the last bag of mulch and estimate we need at least 8 more if we don't do under the plum tree. Then I went for my walk after changing out of my gross clothes. I was so sore and tired from shoveling rocks and pulling up grass that I was miserable on the entire walk. My feet ached and I have a tight muscle in my lower back that is just ugh. And my knee... too much. I tried to make burgers and hot dogs on the grill tonight but didn't have enough charcoal for both and then it wouldn't even light. I've never had trouble with Matchlight before. I gave up after two tries, put the hot dogs in the freezer for another time and made burgers on the stove. Of course, my husband bought 80% lean burgers instead of the 91% lean I usually get. Mine are like 190 calories, his was 290. So I had half a burger, a 1/4 cup of mac & cheese and a helping of seasoned fries. Still came under my goal so I had some Life cereal for dessert.
8/6 - 270.8 - 3.2 miles - Went on a longer walk today and wore myself out so I didn't work in the yard. My husband didn't get the mulch anyway so there wasn't much to do and it was rainy out. I'm also still sore all over from all of the rock moving the past week so I needed a break. Had leftover red beans and rice for dinner. Trying to figure out what I'm going to cook this week. I feel like everything I think of I need at least one ingredient. Guess it's time to make a list of possible dishes and figure out what I need. It's complicated when I want to cook low-cal for myself and something everyone else will eat instead of my low-cal stuff.
8/7 - 268.8 - 2.34 miles - Not much to report today. Did my walk a little late and got back at 1:30. Took a bath again tonight because I've kinked a muscle in my back/hip area and it's just so sore. It helps a little, but as soon as I get out, it tenses back up. Using a heating pad on it now. We're getting more mulch tomorrow so it's back to shoveling rocks.
8/8 - 267.8 - 3.01 miles - Forgot to start my tracking app when I went on my walk so I had to figure out the correct mileage by using Google maps and just tracing it out. We didn't get more mulch, but did go grocery shopping. My husband said he would spend a lot less if he went without me then he bought me three expensive dessert options (each at least $7). I never would have bought that stuff because it's just too expensive. If I had been the only one to go into Safeway, I would have bought guacamole, pico de gallo and 91% lean frozen burgers because that's all I came for. He spent $100 on stuff instead. But I'm the problem. Anyway, made "steak" tacos from carne picada and used all low-cal stuff on it and had two tasty and mostly filling tacos. I thought it was going to be much higher in calories but I'm way under for the night. Now I get to decide if I want one of those desserts or a bowl of Rice Crispies with a banana in it instead.

I do really love reading your comments everyday do feel like I know you and do care about you. Please keep us updated and I hope you also get some sleep tonight.

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 231 (my 162nd). 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 now in 42 days, I still need to crack on & lose a few pounds I’ll be needing to purchase a bigger size in holiday clothes, and I do not want to do that: time is running out! So, 42 days, 4 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!! 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.

7/31 142.4 – ugghh ! bad binge day yesterday, must try harder, today is a new day, new week & new round, need to make this round count.
8/1 141.8 – 8.82 miles walked, 60% exercise calories eaten back.
8/2 140 - 6.4 miles walked before I went to meet DS’s for day out in Shrewsbury including lunch, made sensible choices, but 103 calories over.
8/3. 140 -12 53 miles walked, just over a third of exercise calories eaten back.
8/4. 139.4 - travelled over the border into Wales towing our caravan for a 10 day split venue break with DH. Racked up 5.86 miles walking exploring the local village & immediate surrounding area, 185 calories over.
8/5. 139.4 - 12.87 miles walked along the Montgomery canal to Newtown & back, today will be more challenging as rain forecast all day & woke up to it!! So a lie in, coffee in bed and dinners crossed for a window! Can't even go swimming cuz I discovered a verruca on the ball of my foot last night😪. Less than 50% exercise calories eaten back.
8/6 138.8 - terribly wet day yesterday only managed 45 minutes of structured walking, the rest of the 3.42 miles was made up around a garden centre & Powis Castle hence 387 calories over.
8/7 138.6 - 13.28 miles walked (made up for day before!), Went opposite way along the canal to Berriew, a picturesque Welsh village, had to dodge a few showers! Just over 60% exercise calories eaten back.

Into Matlock, climbed up to and along the top of the gorge, down into Matlock Bath, had a coffee & then climbed up to the top and along the top of the otherside before the return walk back. 1.6 pound down from end of last round, & no binge in whole of the 10 days, very happy with this 👏.
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!7 -
39 years old. 5'5" from Greece...Glad to be back!
Many things happened and lost somewhat my way in terms of weight... So here I am again in this community of wonderful people to encourage and get encouragement from!!:)
Gained approximately 40 pounds (20kgr)..
Tried drastic measures to get back to track, but to no avail... So I am now taking it one day at a time, with baby steps and realistic -hmmmmm- goals!
CW 173.5 lbs (78.7 kgr)
GW for the 10 days 165 lbs (75 kgr)....Needed major adjustment.. That's ok live and learn!!!
UGW 125 lbs (57 kgr)
8/02 -173.5 lbs (78.7 kgr) (last night I tried the treadmill after soooo long, next step some streching!)
8/03 -173.5 lbs (78.7 kgr) Same. Somehow my body refuses to lose weight daily... Even 100 gramms... Eventhough I went for 90 min walk with healthy food choices
Perhaps I will need to adjust my 10 days goal..We will see!
8/04 - 173.2 lbs (78.6kgr) Be carefull what you wish for....I almost had a stroke when I went up the scale this morning.... Mindfull and healthy food choices, plus water plus mild exercise (only had time for a 30 min brisk walk) and just 100 gramms down... Deep breaths...this is a marathon not a spint , but I sure wouldn't mind some progress... Hopefully tomorrow the scale wont be stuck!
8/05 - VACATION!!! Much needed..No scale but mindful of the food choices! Late night drinks, instead of sugary cocktails, justsome jin and tonic or white wine...
8/06 - VACATION!! Well the grilled sardines were to die for.. I take that as a win, But alas I fell of the fried zucchini wagon!!!! And I enjoyed it!! hehehehe.. Just kidding.. I ate some but I am proud that there were still some on the table after I stopped eating! Not a very active weekend -mostly I lounged by the beach with a book!
8/07 -173.2 lbs (78.6kgr) No surprise.. I am mostly ok with the food intake of the weekend but the activity aspect, and the calories burned from exercising, were zero! That's ok.. It is becoming more profound though that I need to majorly adjust my goals, or make huge changes for food and activity.. We shall see..
8/08 - 171.9 lbs (78kgr) Finally!!! As I found out in the previous week, jusk calorie deficiency no longer works.. So last night I had 70min continuous workout .. I tried the 12-3-30 treadmill program. The problem is not the difficulty of the exercise.. It's the boredom that hits early on ... Nevertheless the scale moved!!!Hehehehehe
8/09 - 171.7 lbs (77.1 gr) Just happy to see the scale going down two consecutive days... My calorie intake was to the point and I did the 12-3-30 on the treadmill.. Not anything else though.. It was too hot!
Conclusions... What I take from this challenge is the major need to adjust my goals.. I am not at the age when you cut back on your calories and boom the pounds melt away!
Also, that is not sustainable. I need to work on myself to exercise daily in some degree. Some days harder, some days simple movement will do... So the goal per 10-day challenge is 2 pounds, which seems doable.... Thank you everyone for this journey... See you at the next challeng!!!
@Anabirgite I have seen Vincenzo and the Business Proposal.. I will definitely check out Love to Hate you!! Thanks!!
@CamandJarvis My heart goes out to you and Smoke! I hope everything turns out ok! Sending positive thoughts your way....
@BringIt2023 Seems magical...

7/31- 121.04,- Running late this morning, off to PT- should er really bothering me, comb of too much pickleball but I think I overdid my exercises too. 2 minutes resting squats so far. Got dressed and had to undress to weigh myself...need to start off right. Love when 10 days starts on a Monday.
8/1- 121.4, Its fun to entertain yourself- I kind of binged yesterday, was feeling sorry for myself, just being kind of pathetic, but God Blessed me- i did go play pickleball last night, actually was virtually painfree after PT, and despite having potato chips for a snack and then I added a lot of unmeasured goodies to my cauliflower pizza, came out even! I was sure I blew it or would at least be bloated which messes me mentally up too. Hope to do better today. 2 minutes squats yesterday.
8/2- 122.0 This was bound to happen- I have been pushing it on calories and sodium- So not exactly sure what affecting me right now, but I am suspicious of the sodium and water retention. i really had a lot of salt yesterday and it always seems to take a day to catch up and a day or two to even out- I am going to try not only rebalance my body but take this moment to try and rebalance my my and not become overly reactionary- Talking great words here- Only time will tell if I have convinced my self- 2:30 squat.
8/3- 121.0 Mr. Toad's Wild Ride over here! I honestly have no idea every morning what the scale will say. Trying to find peace with God in other areas of my life, accepting change and not trying to be controlling. I did not think that meant to except that I can not even control the scale - God is trying to tell me something, hope I will listen. Been suffering with being excessively tired for a week or 2- I have always had trouble sleeping, my natural progesterone is off, it peaks at wrong time of day...but lately have been exhausted, falling asleep at my desk constantly and then wide awake at 11 pm. Started taking my vitamins again, i think I need to check into this, it is getting out of hand.
8/4- 121.0 Had to get up extra early to go to PT, only had time for coffee, weighed myself 2 hours later and after being worked out- so not sure how to interpret this weight. Ate a little more then usual yesterday, not sure why, had a sweet tooth, needed a reason to get up from my desk. Lucky to be going sideways. Doing better on exhaustion, taking my vitamins again now ( tracking really helps) for my soon to be ex-husbands health insurance plan we get a health assessment- so signed up for that yesterday so will get my blood work drawn, see if I am missing some nutrients in my diet. My girlfriend had said stopping drinking milk helped with her migraines, so I gave up milk for several months- but not sure if I simultaneously finally hit menopause and my headaches have finally started subsiding. Last years assessment said I was low on calcium. I have added 4 ounces of milk a day, need to figure out some alternatives for calcium because can not eat cheese, 4 ounces is pushing it on heartburn, oh and allergic to all tree nuts.Sorry just ranting today.
8/5 120.6- Woke up today with a migraine, bummer. I had several last week was hoping was over them for a while. Coffee starting to kick in, yeah! The scale mystery continues. I was very busy yesterday and did not track well, most of the time this does not work in my favor. But I also started Invisalign 4 months ago and it has really stopped the snacking and late night eating. 4 minutes resting squat - but had to pull myself up with counter.
8/6 120.2-Mystery again! I have been watching the funnest, campiest, relaxing Korean romantic comedy on Netflix. I decided to try making some of the food they are constantly talking about on these shows. I made myself a delicious dinner last night I can not pronounce, pre-inputted recipe and was shocked to see it was over 1000 calories for 1 serving- so made few modifications, got it down to 700 something. Remembered the whole idea is we should be able to eat everything we want in moderation. Honestly the modifications did not effect the recipe at all, I have made it several times before might be what I gained weight and am back her again now that I think about it. So to make a short story long- Shocked, SHOCKED I am under because I was definitely over calories yesterday.
8/7 120.0 Tracking seems to be working, and I started to track sodium for the first time -why did I not do that before! Played pickleball the past several days, so fun to be outside and among friends- also such a calorie burner for me. Had some surprises hoisted on me Friday, will need to deal with today... Hope you all have wonderful week planned, and a Blessed day.
8/8 119.4 - Wow, did not expect this...Funny thing happened Friday. went to doctor, have been struggling for years with insomnia, falling asleep at stop lights, but also excessive migraines. Have blamed everything on my certifiable screwed up hormones. Started menopause finally, and headaches have really improved. I was there for other screenings, and out of the blue he says i really think you may have narcolepsy. ( told my GFs last night, and no I do not steal thing ( kleptomania), or have a love for dead people ( necrophilia- obsessed with corpses)- Ok we were playing pickleball and margaritas-). So I have done everything he recommended to get 7 hours sleep- which I have not done in decades and taking a stimulant in morning. Wonder if this sleeping thing might be resting my calorie needs?
8/9 119.8 -So much has happen these last 10 days...I lost a little more than I scheduled, I do not want to roller coaster so I added 50 calories to my baseline, I am hoping to slowly lose my last pound and then learn how to maintain. Maintaining has always been a struggle, I think I need to accept I have to track my food forever. Bummer next week I have to travel for work, that always throws me off and makes tracking hard since eating at restaurants and they bring in food for luncheons. Even a 1 hour time change so messes with my sleep schedule and I am just now developing a sleep schedule - Next 10 days will be challenging- see you there

7/31 219 Well, I missed a whole month! My intentions were good on the 1st but I guess I needed to focus on the new bio dad & sibling situation. Even with a trip to meet them all I had no significant weight gain so that is a good thing. I am only up today because I ate cookies yesterday. August WILL BE my month to get back on track.
8/1 218.6. Still more cookies yesterday but today is already a better day!
8/2 218.6
8/3 218.6 hmmm. Not the big comeback that I had planned. I am almost back to normal mentally so I don’t have any excuses. I did some snacking yesterday & I know I ate when I was not hungry. I think I need to do an extended fast to reset. Yoga this morning & then I will catch up on paperwork. I had my staff do all of the filing for the past 2 months yesterday which will help a lot.
8/4 218.4
8/5 217.9
8/6 217.7 still not 100% focused. Every day gets a little better & I feel more on track. Tonight we are going to the Olive Garden & Top Golf as a family. We don’t do many family things anymore so this is a good thing. I will google low carb stuff so that I can stay somewhat on track. I know I can undue this whole week of progress in one meal. My hair is falling out right now. Not sure if it is from my extended fast in April or because of the stress in June. I have not last hair after an extended fast before so I have to assume that it’s the shock & stress. Hopefully that stops.
8/7 219 we had a great time last night & of course my weight is up. No big deal.
8/8 219.2
8/9 218.6 basically another maintenance round. I historically always gain in July & August so I am working on that not happening
@smoda61 there are tons of benefits to red light therapy. It increases mitochondrial activity so definitely an anti aging tool. I have been using it for over a year. There are no dramatic changes but I had a thick toenail that is normal now, my arthritis in my big toe seems better (at least not worse) & the wrinkles on my face are not worse. I do a ton of things to stay healthy & young so this is just another tool in my toolbox

NGL -Disappointed with the scale. However, not surprised. Was very careful to not consume more than 1500 cal - in my mind certainly not enough to retain or “gain” weight… I’m thinking I ate later than usual & disrupted my patterns …. and it will drop tomorrow. Had the best petite fillet w/ sautéed mushrooms last night and yes, I had a glass of wine - was a special occasion. I pre-planned my day very well and stayed within my macros. The ONLY reason why I weighed myself this morning was to be accountable- I really wanted to wait until tomorrow! My exercise today will be discombobulated… Not sure I can get in my walk/workout today but will try. (Meetings/travel).
I will do rd 232 but I am not going to weigh every day. I will weigh every three days. The scale becomes too “important,”and I must realize that it’s what I choose to do every day that brings value to this journey. It’s both amazing and disheartening how a scale dramatically influences my mood. That is not healthy! It’s more the EMOTIONAL roller coaster 🎢 that I want to end.
NSW- I feel better and clothes not as tight. Establishing a routine that works for me. Getting in better shape for hiking in October. Learning about myself! Want to focus on the journey / actionable goals and not the scale. Will weigh every three days to experiment and find what is best for me!
Ready for round 232!

8/7. Solid day. Laughed a lot! Need to laugh more. Enjoy the small things. Increase wonder. Life is 😊 good.
Me: Doing well… Thinking I need to increase protein. Eating steak 🥩 tonight. Petite Filet and fresh veggies. Tennis, 12-3-30 and cleaning house.
I’ve started to sincerely enjoy my ACV drink between 2-3pm. (2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, juice of one lemon, plenty of water / ice and fresh basil). Yum.
So glad I found this group/challenge…. Y’all keep me going 💪🏻 strong! Have an awesome day!😎

8/6 was a great day! I woke up positive & because it was still so hot I went indoors after a brisk 2 1/2 mile walk. Attacked the treadmill attempting to do the 12-3-30. For those that don’t know it’s 12% incline at 3 mph for 30 min - I only did 2.75 mph fo 20 min. (I kept the incline at 12% since I’m prepping for hiking in October). I could’ve pushed to 30 minutes but I was bored. I’ll have to bring a podcast that lasts longer! So I hit my 10k steps early which was really good! 💪🏻
I don’t think I’ve shared that I’m a keto believer. I’ve been low carb for the last nine years. I’ve been successful throughout the years - works for me. Macros this time around are 10/60/30. I usually hit more proteins than fat… I never hit my net carb goal. This week it’s averaged 5/60/35.
I’ve also found that for me, I have to lose weight on a restrictive diet where I can have results quickly. (Slow and steady does not win the race for me.) So three times in nine years I’ve had to lose 15 pounds and take it off quick. (The weight gain is usually over a four to six month window after maintaining for several years.). 145 is my backstop “better stop what you’re doing and lose 15!”
My challenge is alcohol. I don’t drink very often, but when I do, I make VERY BAD food choices and put on weight. I would have a drink 2 to 3 times a week, and bingo, my calories shoot up because I lose all discipline. I really do love food. I love to cook, and I love to taste lots of variety. Oh goodness, and I just love cheese! Cheese, cheese, and more cheese! And, Don’t forget chips& salsa and margaritas! It’s important to log my calories because I could easily eat 3000+ cal a day just because I enjoy good food so much! My issue is quantity. I have a bottomless pit! I really don’t crave junk food or desserts. I just plain ♥️ good food! My BMR is 1430ish and so I must eat below 1100 cal for any weightloss to happen. Each day, this past week, my calories were between 1000 and 1100. I only fell short on 10k steps one day. I closed my activity rings every day but one… so I’m very proud to get back in the self-care groove.
Stop the 🎢 roller coaster!

I hate the freaking scale. I need to make it my friend. I know it will be better tomorrow. At least I’ve lost 3 pounds so far! And, I’ve maintained my efforts for seven days…. Whoo-hoo!
I was on target for all my goals yesterday, except closing my Activity rings…. I WAS A SLOB! With the heat index of 114° yesterday I had ZERO motivation to be active. (We’ve been in a heat wave for about 10 days and I think it’s finally getting to me.) After traveling most of the morning, I just sat on the couch drinking water and watched tennis all afternoon. I usually pump weights while doing this, but not this day. I only got a couple hours sleep the night before, so I was pretty tired. I gave myself permission to take a day off from “closing my rings”.
Today will be a new day! Slept like a brick last night! Sipping my morning coffee and getting ready to embrace the day.
Receiving much insight and motivation from this thread. Thx to all. Have a terrific day!
8/5 Steps are my biggest challenge. I play tennis 4 to 5 times a week, and my Apple Watch does not pick up my steps accurately while playing tennis. Battery also low by 6 PM. I KNOW I get in my activity. Why am I relying on my stupid watch to tell me what I’ve done? I don’t even like that watch! One of my goals is to close all activity circles everyday. (45 min active, 500 active calories, standing 12) Many times I forget to turn on my activity and Boom, I’m devastated that I didn’t close my circles! I have to remember that I’ve done the work, and it doesn’t matter what I read on my less-than-perfect watch.
Another challenge that I have discovered is that ever since I was a young girl probably age 11 or 12 no matter what my weight I have always thought I was “fat”. I’ve always had a large butt and legs. I’ve always felt self-conscious, and the self-consciousness is constant - No matter my weight.
I read the battles in the challenges of everyone recording on a daily basis, and I know that there are gals out there that are struggling more than me. But my struggle is real because for the last 55 years My body image has been in the forefront of my mind. Even when I got down to 128 and was very much in shape I still thought I was BIG! That’s crazy!. I want to feel good and look good but somehow, if I’m a size 2 or a size 16 I always feel the same. My goal is to get past that. Maybe I never will.
My husband never thinks about food. Food is always first and foremost constantly on my mind. The challenge is real.
My hope is to just keep doing what I’m doing. It’s the thought process and self-talk that must change for me to be truly content.

Day, Weight, Calories, Comment
7/31 - 185.4, 1448
Ok, it is what it is. I went over my calorie goal, well below supposed maintenance. This afternoon I’m going to chart the past month or more of calories and weights to see how my record aligns with MFP and Sailrabbit and adjust from there. I feel really bloated and disgusted with myself, but I’m trying to put an “in control” spin on it. I think I’ll make my bead-free salmon patties for dinner — they’re filling and virtuous.
8/01 - 185.4, 1456
Nope, had a measured portion of penne and chicken for dinner, and was really hungry when I got home from dog training in the evening. I’m going to have a very small lunch today, and grilled chicken with cauliflower for dinner. I had a good high-protein breakfast that should hold me through the day. I really think if I ate dinner later, I wouldn’t overeat. DH likes to eat early, so I’m going to have to figure out a system that will work. Sit down with him, warm mine up later? Maybe. For 31+ years, I’ve eaten mainly by his schedule because he’s very scheduled/organized/routine-driven and I’m not, so whatever. But the early dinners just aren’t working for me anymore. Anyone else live with someone with a very different internal food schedule? How do you handle it?
8/02 - 185
Once again, my calories were great until late evening, and then I went on a carb rampage. Ugh.
8/03 - 185.2
Ok, better all around yesterday. I’m off in a few minutes for my post-cataract-surgery checkup with my regular doctor, hoping he clears me for a new prescription—my vision is blurry with my glasses. Yesterday I took Booker to the vet to weigh him — 59 lbs! Then we went to a city park that is a farm and had a lovely walk, and he saw his first chickens. 🐓 Being out there adjusted my attitude a bit — I’ve spent so much of the summer at home pulling weeds, I was kind of down. I realized how I’ve missed getting out to our beautiful parks, so I’ll be doing more of that. Also set some goals for Booker’s training, aiming to be ready for scent/nose work trials this fall, and get serious about tracking and obedience and his advanced trick dog titles. Fun, and something on my mind other than weight and food.
8/04 - 185
I can’t seem to get my calories as low as I’d like, but at least I’m hitting below maintenance the past couple of days. Off to do some dog training! One of these days I need to clean the house….nah! 😂
8/05 - 185
Ok, better in the calories. We got smoked chicken halves from our favorite bbq truck. Usually I would eat the whole thing for late lunch and skip dinner and then end up snacking late. Yesterday I ate just the breast at lunch (plus their roasted new potatoes and a beautiful peach), and ate the rest around 8:30 instead of snacking. That worked pretty well, so I’m going to try dividing my dinners, saving half for late eating.
8/06 - 184.4
Finally, a tiny dip. I didn’t split my dinner yesterday because DH made some sort of casserole with the leftover chicken, and it was really soupy (!) and not really splittable. But I did limit my snacking to a beautiful peach. Part of me wants to go for really low calories, but I know that isn’t smart. I think ~1400 is reasonable.
I like the chatter about training for something like a 10K. I keep saying I’m going to—7-8 years ago (what?!?) I got serious about it and ran 3 5Ks, a 10K, and a half marathon. I kept up the training until we moved here 5 years ago and I got PMR and was in horrible pain — could even take a short walk. I got out of the habit, got off the restrictive diet they put me on for the PMR, Covid hit, I stopped going to the gym, gained 50 lbs, and here I am. But you guys are nudging me to get back to “wunning” —walk/run intervals.
8/07 - 184.2
Rainy day, which is good for the garden, but I probably won’t get my long walk. I’ll walk this evening at doggy school. I made peach crisp last night, but the calories aren’t too bad as I increased the peaches and halved the sugar. Most recipes have too much sugar for me anyway, since I like my fruit straight up. We bought a box of Peach Truck peaches, so I froze some and made this crisp and had a piece. Otherwise, we just eat them. They’re delish!
8/08 - 184.2
Beautiful morning here, so I’m off to one of my favorite parks for a nice walk. I hope I stay awake! I couldn’t fall asleep at all last night. Nothing special worrying me, but I could shut my mind off.
8/09 - 184.6
Ok, better than nothing. I’m starting my “wunning” program today. Next round progress?

8/1 215.5 (+1.7/+1.7) ~ It was worth it! Had some great meals, great drinks. Took some downtime but also went for walks, tossed some bags , played mini golf and laughed a LOT! Time to get serious again....
8/2 215.9
8/3 216.0
8/4 215.9 Two days of fast food isn't helping....Feel like I'm spiraling out of control. I got off my fasting routine over the weekend. Got back on track (with fasting) on Tuesday but Wednesday and yesterday - just a had a craving for comfort food. Hoping I can focus this weekend and get my head back on straight and get out of my "feelings". I wish there was a button to push...
8/5 216.5
8/6 217.2
8/7 216.7
8/8 216.8 Not doing well at all....
8/9 215.1 Rough round....up 1.3 for the round but lowest since weekend trip....so there's hope! Getting "mentally" ready for the next round!
@CamandJarvis ~ I hope you find a resolution with Smoke that does not separate the two of you. Committing to going to a groomer for future baths is a great idea and hopefully BF will give a second chance. Prayer for some empathy.
@Bringit2023 ~ Congrats on the vacation loss! That's awesome.7 -

8/09 - 151.8 - Not surprising given yesterday. I only hit 1300 calories and dinner the night before was very very small. All the rescues are, not surprisingly, full so we still have Smoke. BF is a little more normal and doesn't come off as if he's ready for him to go and has been interacting with him a little closer to normal amounts, but in a gentler manner which is a good sign. I found out the man was off his meds for a bit and thinks his dizziness is from that so he's back on them. Doing research, being off them can also cause mood swings which would explain a lot in recent weeks. Hopefully, once they hit his system fully again, he'll level out and things will calm down. I'm still nervous for my travel next week regarding Smoke, but at least there's only one full day I'm gone. I'll interact with Smoke Tuesday morning before I leave and Thursday evening when home. I'm feeling a bit better today, though still not 100% so I'm hoping to stick to my goals. Dinner is planned and pre-logged. Lunch as well. I'm only just starting to get hungry so I have a small breakfast that fits in my goals planned should I not be able to push through a fast until lunch. Despite being sore yesterday and this morning, I knocked out my intermediate kettlebell workout as well as a walk with the pups this morning. I'll do some stretching later after I take my warm shower to help reduce some sore spots.
Previous Day's Comments7/31 - DNP - headed home from baseball game
8/01 - Ended up standing in for 2 softball games unexpectedly last night. Got home late and therefore slept in as long as work would allow. I'm sore, dehydrated, and tired so no weigh-in. I might not weigh at all this round - too much going on. I'll see how I'm feeling or if my curiosity gets the best of me this week. The kids want me to go with them Friday to drop off with their mom which means more travel and an overnight stay (read: sitting long hours in a vehicle and eating out). I may weigh on Friday morning before we leave just to see if I got back down to where I was before this past weekend. I'd be okay simply maintaining the 152.x throughout all this travel. Going to be on my best behavior these next few days.
8/02 - I did step on the scale and it was bouncing around the 153.2 range but I did not let it stop and record. It was enough to give me an idea of where I am so I can slowly adjust today and tomorrow. I was over on calories a significant amount yesterday but I never once felt overly full or stuffed, just content and satisfied so I'm alright with that. It was a very lazy day, I didn't even hit 5,000 steps and no workout so that was a huge reason for it. Today I've finished my last kettlebell workout and walked the dogs. I'm aiming to hit my 10k steps and move every hour goals. Dinner is at Fam's tonight as a goodbye for the kids and I've pre-logged as estimates what I think will be involved.
8/03 - I'm not doing well about sticking to habits on this short week. Went to Fam's as a goodbye, LittleBro requested egg drop soup and fried rice - hello sodium bloat. I also went back for seconds prematurely and ended up well overstuffed. Oops. You'd think I'd know by now! Hopefully today is better. I'm making homemade biscuits with sausage gravy (all from scratch) since BF and LittleBro both wanted it. I walked the dogs already and will continue to move through the day as well as stretch. My legs are still incredibly sore from Monday's softball. Oof. I'm so out of shape
8/04 - I did a quick peak on the scale without letting it settle and record: upper 153 range. Oof. I am very very bloated today, though, so hopefully that accounts for some of that increase. It's still painful to see, especially knowing I'm traveling today and tomorrow, eating out and sitting a lot in the vehicle (7-8 hours each way, not accounting for stops). Especially painful knowing I can't push water like I otherwise would because we won't be able to stop all that often (nor do I want to make the trip that much longer due to so many stops). I drank over 100oz of water yesterday and I'm already done with my first 30oz before anyone is even awake which helps significantly for my overall water intake for the day. 50oz left to hit my minimum goal and that's a little more doable. Especially with dinner if I make smart choices. No posting for me tomorrow but I should be back Sunday. Hope you have a great start to your weekend!
8/05 - DNP - headed home from dropping kids off
8/06 - The house is entirely too quiet with the two littlest gone. It will be an adjustment. I'm going to weigh in tomorrow for another challenge's weekly weigh-in and then again Wednesday for the end of this round. We shall see if I do so Tuesday, as well. Today I'm focused on pushing water to offset the lack of water the last 2 days due to travel as well as the sodium from Asian last night - I had teriyaki beef bento and it was definitely sodium-rich. I'm going to make a meal list here in a bit with BF's help and then run to the store to get only what we need.
8/07 - Yesterday was a good day. I drank my 80oz of water and hit my 10k step goal. I moved every hour and fasted until lunch. I was really good about focusing on hitting all my daily health goals, I had the calories left, and I was craving it for several days so I even allowed myself a small bowl of ice cream (with lactose pills taken, of course). I also found and printed the email that had the NerdFitness intermediate kettlebell workout so I have that to start on this morning. I'm going to walk the pups first, as it's just getting light enough now and I can do kettlebell stuff on work breaks if I don't finish in time. I didn't get to read yesterday so I have lots of catching up on posts to do through the day! It'll be a nice mental break from all the crazy work madness.
8/08 - I'm a wreck. Didn't sleep. Didn't weigh. Smoke is scared of baths but needed one. BF tried to bathe him (he's iffy of BF to begin with and always has been. We believe he was abused prior to us getting him) and Smoke ended up biting him in fear when cornered with water. So now BF wants him gone (otherwise he will be euthanized - BF is a firm believer you don't bite the hand that feeds, no matter the situation) and I'm frantically trying to re-home my sweet baby boy somewhere safe and loving while fighting every urge to cry, break down, lose my mind, and run away with him (my finances and responsibilities won't allow that last one). I don't want to lose him but I'm so scared BF will take him to be euthanized soon if I can't get him somewhere. I stayed up most of the night crying my eyes out. I couldn't finish dinner (I was cooking and that's when this incident happened) because I was so upset. I haven't tried eating yet today but I choked down warm lemon water and black coffee (plus some of my normal water cup I always drink out of). I could use some love and positive vibes, if you have any to spare. I want to save him, he's never done anything to anyone before and I think he's fearful reactive due to his past and needs some help that I can't give him due to the situation.7 -

I am so sorry! I can not imagine your distress. I will definitely keep you in my prayers tonight. I thought the suggestion for a groomer sounded great i will hope and pray that can work out for you. I do really love reading your comments everyday do feel like I know you and do care about you. Please keep us updated and I hope you also get some sleep tonight.
Thank you so very much. The prayers helped significantly. Smoke did walk, on his own, into the bathroom and sniffed right outside the shower (we don't have a tub, just a stand up shower where I ended up bathing him) and then allowed me to love on him and praise him a few feet away so it's really good progress. Hopefully we can continue working on things to calm him around bathing so I can forego groomers. It's a great backup plan, for sure, and I'll keep it in mind. Next up, to trim nails! He allowed BF to do so before with no issue so hoping he's not too traumatized and allows me to do it without issue.4 -

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.

SW Round 231 129.5 AW 129.4
7/31 130.5 Late post! Went to water fitness, came home, showered, went to help DD#2 at school, came home and had some leftover steak and got on here. Going back to help DD again tomorrow. I’m seriously lacking water today! AF
8/1 130.5 I thought I did well yesterday. Today will be better. AF
8/2 130.0 Surprised, this little drop is probably the result of what I ate the day before yesterday. Jimmy John’s Unwich last night but I ate salt and vinegar chips. YUM! Today breakfast out with DH & friend, mani appt, and back to DD’s school to work in library. She got her certification this summer and is officially a librarian not a “teacher working as a librarian.” AF
8/3 130.5 Okay, stupid, bad behavior yesterday. I had decided before we went that I was going to get steak and eggs but did I tell the waitress no toast or potatoes? No, I did not and then I proceeded to eat it all! That and about a half cup of “me roasted” pecans and almonds was all I ate yesterday. But REALLY, potatoes and toast!!!
8/4 130.0 2 eggs, In-n-Out Double Double protein style add onion, light lettuce, lots of water and a few fries
8/5 129.0 Ate lunch of hamburger patty and cheddar and didn’t want dinner, evening snack of 1 oz dry roasted peanuts
8/6 128.5 I made “Keto Jalapeño Popper Frittata” and ate 1.5 servings at 2pm consequently I was not particularly hungry for dinner. Ate a small piece of pot roast when I fed DH. AF
8/7 128.5 Great Greek yesterday - steak skewer and small salad, had 2 servings of Brussels sprouts as evening snack. Stayed slightly below all macros. AF
8/8 128.0 Under macros and calories yesterday, drank lots of water.
8/9 128.5 I ate the remaining serving of frittata yesterday but it didn’t agree with me. I thought I was going to be sick. I was hot and started to sweat about 20 minutes after I finished it. DH wanted BBQ for dinner last night. I didn’t send it back when it came with sauce. Almost a sweet and sour to me 🤮I scraped off most of it. Not enough water.5 -
