We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Donβt stay away, stay accountable. We donβt 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 isnβt sustainable. Iβve been doing it for over 6 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. Itβs 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

Iβm making a second post for my rant. My DH volunteered for the community budget and finance committee almost a year ago. Itβs the job he did for his REAL job for about 18 years but every suggestion he makes is dismissed by our current community BOD because they want to spend spend spend. He is frustrated and his frustration is frustrating me. Heβs considering running for BOD this fall again. Last fall he lost by 10 votes. This year a neighbor has appointed himself campaign manager and is preparing to push a more fiscally responsible βgroup.β The current people have improperly moved $$ from one area of the βbudgetβ to others to satisfy their whims. The $500K they had in excess 2 years ago has been frittered away rather than refunded to homeowners and then they raised monthly fees for this year and next plus a planned increase in 2025. They have hired a second βcleaning personβ to pick up the slack since the other one likes to talk toe everyone and spends a lot of time on his phone or wandering around the neighborhood just βchecking things out.β7

My Daily Notes βΆ233βΆβΆ 8/20 βΆ Iβm thrilled to have found this challenge. This is not my first βrodeoβ so to speak, but to be quite honest the older I get the less motivated I get to try again. I know HOW to lose weight but I just havenβt figured up how to KEEP IT OFF. Iβll lose upwards of 20, 30 and even 50+ lbs with any gven attempt but then, all of a sudden, and for no apparent reason, I find myself going back to my old eating habits and sedentery lifestyle. Before I know it iβm right back to square one again. Itβs depressing to stand on that scale after an extended hiatus only to see all of your hard work and accomplishments have reverted back to zero or worse yet, your even heavier than before. I am finding it especially hard this time to get myself motivated as my mind is not in a good place. Iβve starting thinking that perhaps I am doomed to be βmorbidely obeseβ (itβs in my DNA or something) and I should just give up the good fight...BUT I am quickly reminded of the general aches and pains, and that overall bloatness that I experience each day as a result of being almost 300 lbs and how much better I feel, both physically, and emotionally, when I have lost weight in the past. Reminding myself of that βfeelingβ is really the only thing keeping me afloat these days.
Iβm hanging on for dear life. I need to myself out of this rutβ¦
10 days is just what I need to get my butt back on track!! ((HUGS))

About Me:This is my fifth round and really appreciated having someplace to stay accountable.
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.

8/20 - 260.0 - 2.93 miles - Today was kind of a rough day. Wore my new shoes and all seemed fine for a while and then a little over halfway in, my knee just started aching and by the time I got back to my own street, I was hobbling along. Then the site I do my daily journal on has been offline for days which has put me on edge because I had nowhere to vent my frustrations. Then my husband brought home a carrot cake (my fave), apple pie (also a fave) and two bags of chips (my trigger food). I wanted to cry because I told him last night I was suddenly feeling very "snacky" and having trouble distracting myself from binging on junk. And he wanted burgers with bacon and hot dogs for dinner. Ugh. So I ate way more than I should have (had a burger with no bacon which made me sad, half a serving of mac & cheese and a serving of french fries. I feel blah now and still craving potato chips and pie. According to the site, I'm still under my calories for the day (just barely) so I can't really eat anything else. It's going to be a long night of trying not to think of all the junk in the house I want to eat. I'm so close to my first major goal (250lbs)--I don't want to do any more backsliding with cheat days until I get below 250.

Round 233
MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5β 5β TALL.
ROUND 190 FOR ME.
βTodayβ¦.I am choosing Meβ
MY STATS:
Highest weight ever (05-10-2016): 253
Original starting weight on MFP: (01-11-2018) 235.0
R232 EW= 198.0
R233 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. Weβll 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 4 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 180βs. I donβt care if itβs on the brim. Iβve got to start getting further away from the 200βs 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.

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 233 (my 163rd). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, so grateful.
Goal this round again is to get back under and stay under 138, I really donβt want to keep hovering around 140 pounds. Holiday is now in 21 days,3 weeks! I still need to crack on & lose a few more pounds, starting to get back into some holiday clothes, but can't let up: time is running out! So, 21 days, 2 rounds at a pound per week should get me better than I am, Iβve done it before so I can do it again if I knuckle down!! Really try to stay on track & do another complete round without binging. 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, itβs 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.

8/19 140.6 β knew that was going to be up after last nightβs Indian, it was delicious, but who knows how many calories or sodium!! I avoided a starter and a sweet, to be honest the main course was more than sufficient to satisfy me!! 8.63 miles walked. So thatβs an increase of 1.4 pounds this round, will work hard to lose this and more next round.
SW Round 233
8/20 140 - 12.12 miles walked, 55% exercise calories eaten back, guzzled loads of water yesterday to flush out that sodium.
8/21 140 β 5.81 miles walked, met DD & family for the day, 140 calories over.

I'm back again for the start of my senior year of university! I'm just out of my 5th hospital stay in the last 2 months and I spent my entire summer in the psych ward. There isn't much room to exercise in there and you get fed hospital food at regular intervals. That and you feel stressed and miserable the whole time, so that doesn't help either (at least that was how it was for me). I can feel another episode coming on and I'll probably get locked up again soon, but until then I'm trying to reverse some of this mess, at least weight-wise.
SW Round 233
8/20 106.5 lbs This is major weight gain for me. Life has been extremely taxing lately and between not being able to move much and being given certain foods over and over and lots of stress, my weight keeps bouncing, usually in the wrong direction.

Starting here, starting my day - I already feel better.Had to travel all last week for work, no scales, out to dinner, out to lunch, even food choice in morning were so limited due to time constraints. I was so nervous to weigh myself this morning, but I put on / actually took off my big girl socks and was shocked to see I was still in the 119's barely...This week is going to be about getting back to normal healthy eating.

8/21 I had a TON of energy yesterday. Hit 10k steps before noon and completed strength training. Explored a possible new Garmin watch most of the afternoon, and decided to return it⦠Will simply stick with the Apple Watch - will try a shoe-top pedometer next.
Today: Tennis and 12-3-30. Need to plan my dinners this week and shop today. Keep all temptations OUT OF THE HOUSE! Still waking up too early (4:30 this morn).
BTW:I am fortunate that my husband takes outstanding care of himself. No effortβ¦ Just comes natural. He eats only to fuel his bodyβ¦ In excellent shape and rarely thinks about food. HOW?!?!! He only eats when heβs hungry. He is 69, over 6β , his weight ranges weekly between 165 & 170 (water/heat/food/workouts). He never stops moving β¦ his weight fluctuates as much as my mood changes! He just eats what I eat but much more of itβ¦.. Itβs just his body and how it worksβ¦. (Mine of course is immeasurably different.) When we met ~22 years ago, I weighed 142 lbs. In 2009/2010 I gained 30 lbs (high stress job no exercise) β¦.. He never said a word! I finally decided to take that off in 2014 and got down to 128 (my high school weight) β¦. Thatβs where Iβd like to live for now onβ¦. I feel better and thatβs healthy for me β¦. The more I study and learn about nutrition the more I realize weβve been poisoned in the US. The FDA is NOT our friend. Too many preservatives, too many chemicals, too much fake food. Eating clean works well for me.

8/20. One day soon-there will be a WHOOSH! (Like a 2 to 3 pound drop off!) There must be! Physically and mentally, I feel strong this morning starting a new roundβ¦. !
Yesterday: I hit all my goals, except for total steps.
The humidity/heat really did it to me playing tennis so I took it easy the rest of the dayβ¦! Was truly wiped outβ¦ Only logged 6k steps).
The ππ»photo represents my roller coaster on MFP over the last 10+ yearsβ¦ what a RIDE! Letβs go for βοΈ I want to rest in the 130 rangeβ¦ I used to let myself go up and down 5 pounds, and then it got out of hand β that up and down will be no more than three!

Round 23
August 20 β Aug 29, 2023
61 year old female, 5β5β. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 β 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW current MFP Jan 1, 2023 β 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126
Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.
History:Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two βkidsβ, who are very much adults, a DGS, and second GS on the way. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an βall in or notβ person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment
8/20 - 124.6
8/21 β 124.8 Yesterday was within reason. Not perfect, but a sign I can get back on track.
Dealing with my parents issues and puts me in a place where I can forget self care. Friday, I find my father has been mismedicating my mother in two says which explains her request for new/additional pain meds, and the recent onset of bowel urgency. This public discovery by me then set him up to be combative the rest of the day. 2022 taxes are still not finished. So I have tasked him to spend ONE HOUR over the weekend to finish it. Saturday night (I have been calling at least twice a day for the past month), I check in at 7:15 to remind that is the time for the night pills. My mother says βI already took them at 7. We decided to change it to a whole number.β Now, does 15 minute matter? Likely not. But combined with the fact she already made me move them from 7:45 to 7:15, and then learning of wrong medications the previous day, AND no sign my father has done anything productive, just set me off. Oh, and she refuses to mute the TV that is 3 feet away from her while talking to me, but wants me to call MORE. She was happily controlling the TV while my father was in the hospital once I taught her, now she refuses. I am not proud, but I am radio silent for a bit. Efforts are not reciprocated. Sorry for the rant. Siblings state platitudes when I share what is going on.
Has anyone heard of the Benjamin Franklin Effect. From a reddit discussion (set off a lightbulb for me): βThe sad psychological fact is, people like you more after they do favors for you, and like you less after you do favors for themβ¦ counter-intuitive but true.β This might explain my problem.
I hope everyone has been doing well!!
PS DGS#2 has decided to show up late. He older brother came on his due date, so we are a little surprised. Still waiting for him to show.
