Daily Details:Sat.09.09:
I noticed yesterday that the cravings I’d been having throughout the past year or so are pretty much gone. The dietitian chalked it up to the insufficient calories and lack of protein, so since remedying both of those, I can really notice a difference. I do keep a big bar of dark chocolate in the fridge if I’m wanting something sweet, but I’ve used it more to quickly add on some calories rather than because I was craving it.
Busy day today, I've decided I want to move some things around and reorganise the girls' living room and make a more permanent workout space in my office. I currently have everything stored in the girls' living room and have to take it out and put it away anytime I want to use it- which leads to me using it less.
Sun.10.09:
Busy day. Grocery shopping, food prepping, ect.
Mon.11.09:
Well, I expected this. Yesterday was an off day. My daughter and I went to the shops first thing in the morning to find we were about 45 minutes too early and nothing was open except a few cafes and a small asian grocer. She bought some Japanese candy, and I had two pieces, because they’re my favourite and actually aren’t too high in added sugar. Which would have been fine, except that’s what I started my day with and it was about 3 hours earlier than I normally open my eating window. Then my partner came home from his weekend trip and hadn’t eaten the sausages that he took, so those became lunch. Dinner took longer to cook than expected so I didn’t close my window until an hour later than usual. Overall, I was within my calorie target - just - at about 1580 calories. My macros were fairly close as well. But it was the quality of the food I ate yesterday (apart from dinner) that was lacking. The worst part is I didn’t even *enjoy* the poor choices. The sausages were an instant regret. I should have made myself something I would have enjoyed and would have been healthier anyway, but I was being lazy as I still had to go grocery shopping and get all my meal prep done, and get dinner started. Lesson learned. It’s a new day.

@SModa61 Glad the power's back on, and you didn't have any other serious damage from the storm!
@deepwoodslady I've seen a lot on carb/calorie cycling - is that similar to what your "zigzag" plan is?
@quiltingjaine greek food is sooooo good. do you find it fairly easy to fit in with keto?
@AR10at50 that's such a kind gesture and a great way to share your skill!
@Cchassee sodium's the worst! At least you enjoyed yourself and know that it's not a *true* gain!
@GettingFitOver50 congrats on the loss!
@potasha such an active day! Good job!7 -

I'm in for another ten days.
Jen; 46; 5'4"
About Me:This is my seventh 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.

SW: 248.2
GW (short term): 235
RGW: 245
9/9 - 247.2 - 3.69 miles - Took a walk from downtown along the river to a park by the marina and then back. It was a nice stroll even though it was a bit warm when we left. It was nice to get out of the neighborhood for once. I haven't been to the riverfront since before Covid so it was nice.
9/10 - 247.0 - 3.39 miles - Got my walk in a little late but manged to get home before it started getting really hot. I also hit most of the pokegyms in the neighborhood. I hadn't been playing much lately because I didn't feel like stopping at the gyms but I got 3 of the 4 (last one had a raid going on and that takes too long to deal with). Had a premade salad for lunch which was actually pretty filling considering it was lettuce, some turkey and ham and then I added onion and grape tomatoes. Then I had a burger and fries for dinner. I still have enough calories left to have some mango sorbet for dessert.

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.

Hello, I am 54, 5'9" and am making a switch from Weight Watchers to MFP. This is my 2nd round. During the first round my goal was the habit of tracking and being more mindful of what I was eating. This round I'm adding exercise. 🤞and finishing my postings 🥴
SW Round 234: 232.4
GW Round 234: 228.4
SW Round 235: 228.6
GW Round 235: 224.6
Round goals: track, move
Goodbye 230's!! 👋
9/9 - 228.6
Ending round 234 almost at goal with tracking only. Getting ready to head out for a walk, yard work and painting today. Family dinner tomorrow all planned out with as many healthy recipes as possible 🫶
9/10 - 226.6
Wow! I anticipated a little loss but this was a pleasant surprise 😁 Wogged (walk/jog) 2.3 miles last evening with my 16 yo DS who is a cross country runner. No pressure 😂
Family dinner is today and I have planned a healthy meal that's easy to track, except dessert 🫣 My plan is to do dishes while they have dessert and to send all dessert left over items away with the fam 🫶
It's going to be a challenge to get activity in with baking and a 2 hour orientation for a scholars program for the DS, but we will keep our fingers crossed!
9/11 - 227.5 Scale went up, as expected after family dinner. Healthy meals but the dishes plan didn't work and I indulged in dessert along with 2 unplanned beverages. I did get my one hour worth of activity in the yard as planned so that was good. Planning a short run for the day and back to work after 10 days off for bereavement and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I am prepared to either battle the want to stress eat or make sure I do eat. I have a tendency to swing to one extreme or another 🥴

SW 134.0
GW 129.9
Goals:
IF 12-8 pm; try for 64 oz of water before 5 pm and make it by 8pm; Track steps and aim to increase activity level.
9/9 133.2 IF 12-8 pm. 64 oz of water is hard to do by 5 but I did it by 8pm. One hour of cycling felt good. I didn't have any sweets or added sugar. One glass of wine.
9/10 133.0 IF 12-8pm. One hour of gentle cycling in the morning. Afternoon hike. Water and activity goals met. Well balanced whole foods meals. TOM is coming so I'm hoping for a significant drop with it.
9/11 DNW this morning. Morning hike and strong show of will power all day until bed time when I got serious sugar cravings. Two muffins and then sleep. TOM woke me up today so I need to FORCE myself to be physically active today.

9/11 - 153.9 - Not at all surprised. I was without water half the day yesterday and tried to chug it (got 60oz down) when we got over to Fam's (stopped there for football and dinner before home). Not enough to offset the lack of water the day before PLUS all the sweating. Very dehydrated. Also, TOM showed up bringing along plenty of bloat. We have a football game on Friday (I get to see my Alma Mater for the first time since being a student!) with an overnight stay meaning more eating out. I'm hoping to, once again, limit the alcohol to a reasonable amount and be mindful of food. There will be tailgating so I can only hope for somewhat decent options and water, though I feel like I might not get my wish. So goal today until midday Friday is to stay on track and behave to drop this weekend's bloat just in time to spike it again next weekend...The game has been a year in the making but I can't help but be frustrated that my weight is going to be stalled until next calendar year because everyone is already talking about which weekends we aren't doing an event and trying to fill said weekend. No, stop it! I don't have the money for that! Plus, I have weight to lose, not gain!

Previous Day's Comments9/09 - A sodium blip up because of dinner. We had our friends over who just had a baby 4 weeks ago for a meal train. Mama deserves to get out of the house in a place she can still be included despite needing to pay so much attention to a new baby and steaks are better served fresh and to their preferred doneness so they agreed to come to ours. As usual, BF used garlic salt and I'm guessing that's why I'm up. Oh well. Concert tonight and walking around the historical town beforehand and getting dinner so lots of activity. No weigh-in and likely no post tomorrow as we're staying overnight there and I won't have my computer. I'm not a fan of the app's community and I can't be on my phone while riding in a vehicle - I get carsick.

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 “kids”, 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 “all in or not” 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
9/9 – 126.2 so off to a wild start for the round. Yesterday was a wild ride. Was at my parents’ assisted living (20+ minutes away) when DH calls and said that a crazy storm came through at our townhouse – high winds, objects hitting windows, and hail. It was actually time for me to leave, and I said I would carefully head home via back roads, which I assumed would be best. Well as I drove, I encountered closed road after closed road. After 2 ¼ hours of driving, I got near out home, but every road was blocked. I ended up parking my car at a church two miles from home and walked the rest of the way. I was way luckier than many, like those with crushed cars, or those in cars, but trapped BETWEEN two blockages with no way out. Of course, we have no power, so riding that out as well. Posting this from my phone, so not my usual style post. But feeling very fortunate as I know this will pass. For me, this is an inconvenience. I am lucky!!
9/10 – 126.8 Having no power in my home since 3 pm friday, is adding to making poor dining choices. Drove to my parents’ hoarded, but unoccupied house, early this am to get a shower and blow dry my hair.
9/11 – 126.8 Got power back late in the day. I am happily shocked to see no further damage. Trip is two weeks from today. Two weeks to practice healthy habits again, and get them re-established. I had expected this whole round to have proper focus, then I got the Friday afternoon surprise. I certainly could have handled it better, but such is life. Pre-tracking my day today. Advance planning is key for me.

Happy Saturday!
9/10 - 186
Booker is leaving today, going back to his breeder. I’m very sad, but also relieved. I hadn’t realized until now how stressed I’ve been worrying that he’d hurt DH, who’s 88 but thinks he’s still much younger. All in play, of course, no aggression, but that doesn’t make getting knocked down any nicer. Anyway, I haven’t worried too much about what I’m eating the past couple of days but will start the new week on a new footing. I plan to take a very long nap after they leave, probably after ugly crying. Enjoy your Sunday, everyone.

I didn’t overindulge too much yesterday despite being sad. It will be odd to take my walks dogless, but off I go.

I get a side Greek salad and chicken or steak souvlaki skewers. By getting the side salad instead of large or small I avoid the temptation of the pita. I’m a bread-aholic. And I know my body reacts poorly to it. I ate 1/2 of one yesterday and am sure that has something to do with the added 1/2# today.

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!

I'm just curious - what is the "zig zag plan" you are talking about here?
9/10 -194.2- (Trend weight 193.7) I had a very good day yesterday but I stayed up way way too late and ended up hungry enough for another meal that was unplanned for and put me over budget, so to speak. Today I will choose one of my lower calorie/carb days on the zig-zag plan to get back in line. I really need to get in more steps and movement today somehow also. I’m expecting my DD and DGS over this afternoon so that may be difficult.
@mbfink2018 It is supposed to help you break plateau's. It can also help to "trick" your metabolism so it won't slow down. I try to follow a 1400 calorie per day diet. So this would be the number I would use 3 days of the week. I also follow my carbs closely as a type 2 diabetic so my example is that my standard is 1400 calories, 60 cabs. Here is a link that may help completely explain. There are others on google or yahoo search as well. I hope this helps. I am just beginning to experiment with this. It will take awhile before I see how well it is working for me. So far, I am good with it. I like that I can switch it up from week to week picking my high days or low days that best fit my schedule.
