@quiltingjaine Thanks for your help! I think I got it! Yes, I had an issue with my community and other items in MFP yesterday. Glad it seems to be fixed.
@_JeffreyD_ I found the bell when I was trying to figure things out on my iPad instead of phone yesterday (and someone else may have mentioned it too, and I’ve forgotten) but really appreciate the tip with profile picture and the bell alerts on the phone app. I agree about FB and appreciate your perspective on the chaff and quality over quantity!
@SModa61 Thanks for showing me how the tags and quotes work! So helpful!! Just trying to find my way around here.
@CamandJarvis I eat Paleo-ish as well, helps keep inflammation down. I also love Nom Nom Paleo and Olivia Adriance (both have a website and instagram, Nom Nom Paleo has books)4 -

RND 257
1st round for me
Total so far this round: (-.8)
4/15 153.0
4/16 152.6 Ate out for lunch and take out for dinner, went about 200 over calories goal and didn't eat as many veggies as I prefer. Will make a meal plan for the week today and include more veggies.
4/17 151.8 stayed within calories, ate more vegetables, still need to work on more water 💦, did not make a meal plan for the week so doing that this morning
4/18 152.2 I feel better with no dairy and gluten. I’ve been on a modified bed rest for 3 weeks due to various issues in the L4-L5-S1 of my spine, waiting to see specialists. A friend brought dinner over and I ate gluten and dairy last night, weight and inflammation are up. No surprise.

Day, Weight, Comment
4/16 - 195
I ate a lot yesterday, mostly healthy food, just too much. I’m not worried about the uptick. We have another gorgeous day, with rain forecast this evening and tomorrow, so I’m planning more garden infrastructure work today again. It’s good exercise, with a bigger purpose. 😊
4/17 - 195
Rainy day, so I’m off to knit for a while with a friend. Always fun to knit in company and talk and laugh. She usually feeds my lunch when I do, but I’m taking a curried pineapple chicken salad this time. Yummy!
4/18 - 194.4
This is long, so no need to read. I’m writing partly to find out what I’m thinking. I’m in the throes of some big decisions about life, all building up for a while but banging around in my head in a big way right now. I’ve mentioned here my friend who has had serious health problems over the past year and is now on dialysis 3 days a week and essentially immobile. On Tues her husband came in from mowing the lawn, sat down with a cold drink, and had a massive heart attack. Last I heard he was alive but not responsive. This has all been a sad reminder that life can change in a heartbeat, literally. I’m 71 and Roger will be 89 in July. We’re both healthy, thankfully, but realistically I don’t have much time left to monkey around. (20 years is not much time imo.) Things that used to be vitally important to me no longer are, and I’ve developed some new interests. One of the decisions I’ve made is to (try to) step back from my lifelong worry about weight and tracking calories and yada yada. The recent photo with the stack of diet books really hit me—like many of you, I’ve read everything and know a lot and yet have struggle with weight or worry about weight since the first diet I was put on in the fourth grade. The only times in my life I haven’t “dieted” (and I include any kind of restriction in that) were when I was working and studying overseas, and walking everywhere. Clearly my lifelong diet worry hasn’t worked. So one of the things I’m dropping, maybe short term, maybe for good, is tracking. I’ve already stopped tracking food, and I’ve put my scale in the closet after this morning’s weigh in. All of which is to say I’m not sure how long I’ll stay with this group. I really enjoy reading your posts, but I may need to step away for a while. I’ll stick around for this round and see. Anyway, thank you all for being so supportive and open about your journeys.

@deepwoodslady - Donna I'm willing everything to work out good for you, thinking about you & sending lots of really positive vibes. Safe journeys

NSV: Clarification: when I write food = fuel, that means that food is a necessity- no fixation. I eat when hungry, and it’s somewhat mundane/boring. I’m that person that doesn’t mind eating the same thing three days in a row… ex: super dry chicken breast 🤩 Eating is simple.
The yo-yo is exhausting & unhealthy. Takes up way too much brain space.
@Chapter_3 I love beef and could eat it daily (3 times a day) chicken almost as much. I did a beef and butter “fast” early on and loved that. It did get me into ketosis quickly.
@deepwoodslady Wrong generation for “the Mario song. YAY ME!2 -
@SheilaBoneham - I appreciate your thinking and re-evaluation, but I sure shall miss you if you do decide to drop out. I wish you all the best in your new outlook on life and thank you for your friendship and wisdom over our mutual time here together 💗5

APRIL 1st SW: 198.2 | EW: 000.0
Since starting ...January 1st - April 1st, I've lost 17 pounds and a total of 20.8 inches from 11 areas. 🥳 Thrilled to see my hard work reversing prediabetes and years of physical damage. Getting leaner and stronger and chair dancing proud of myself about it!! 57 and hormonal, it's taken longer than expected and a much rougher road than my youth.
Reaching onederland (March 13th) meant the end of 10+ years and up to 80 pounds!! gained and relost too many times to count. Determined not to self-sabotage ... have to ask: now what? Weight was my focus so long, I need a new target!! If I should lose an additional 8% body fat to reach the "standard" for my age, height and sex ~ and up to 15% to reach excellent ~ that's @ least another 8-15 months of work before I can begin to relax and think maintenance.
I've been eating @ a 200-400 calorie deficit (90-95% of the time) and Intermittent Fasting 18-22 hrs (75-85%). It's worked well, so trying to take it up a notch by lowering carbs, changing eating window to earlier in the day, breaking fast differently, and continuing to look for new ways to increase step count and add more strength in April.7 -
@SheilaBoneham If you decide to leave us perhaps you could just check in periodically. We’ll miss you.
@Garbagegang I suppose we are a group but there are no dues, no application fee or even posting requirements.
I first posted in round 6 but started daily posting in round 7. A new round will be posted 3-4 days before the end of the current round. Anyone can join at any time. Some join and never post again🤷♀️
Posts can be edited for 1 hour. And there are some words that MFP doesn’t allow and automatically changes to “kitten”
This may or may not answer some of the questions you have or haven’t had. LOL4 -

4/16 134.0 Finally dropped a bit and DH set up dinner date at Golden Corral 🤦♀️🤦♀️ I have a plan since we are going later so friends can get butterfly shrimp. I will get salad and steak and see what good veggies they have. I can do this! OY! This morning has been a mess. Now to finish reading today’s posts.
4/17 136.5 I only ate one meal yesterday. That was at GC. I really didn’t eat a lot of food but it was high carb-breaded shrimp and Nashville Chicken Bites, sugar free vanilla cake and the blueberry filling from a slice of SF blueberry pie, at a 2” square of real crust from “apple cobbler.” I also drank a lot of water after we got home. I feel bloated-something I don’t experience often. Optometrist today so I can replace the glasses that broke when I fell in Ensenada. Tonight is community bingo with pizza for dinner.🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
4/18 138.5 The thick crust pizza was cold be the time it was served so I couldn’t even pry the toppings lose to throw the crust away. This is turning into a stellar week🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️I’m having my BP coffee and pondering my plan. On the upside-It’s great of the scale to let me know it’s working by showing increases.🤪😂5 -

@SheilaBoneham - I appreciate your thinking and re-evaluation, but I sure shall miss you if you do decide to drop out. I wish you all the best in your new outlook on life and thank you for your friendship and wisdom over our mutual time here together 💗
@SheilaBoneham
I sincerely understand. Sharing your experience is heartfelt and inspiring. You were considering leaving a few rounds ago and so I sincerely appreciate your willingness to share your direction. If signing off from MFP is the route that you choose, then it’s a courageous start to exploring a different path. What courage! I’m glad that you will finish this round and I most appreciate that you are thinking of us… letting us know that you are not evaporating into nothingness! You’re being thoughtful and communicative with this group… a lovely gesture. I will miss reading your thoughtful entries and Journey… But will also look forward to a SURPRISE reappearance one day… if you choose!!! ❤️❤️❤️

“Posts can be edited for 1 hour. And there are some words that MFP doesn’t allow and automatically changes to “kitten”
This may or may not answer some of the questions you have or haven’t had. LOL”
Kitten?! 😂That is hilarious! Thanks for the info and especially for the abbreviations. I did WW for several years but there are definitely some abbreviations I was not familiar with. Taking a screen shot of that! Appreciate your time to respond ❤️

4/16 204.0 Good start and now to keep it moving. I've had a cold the last few days and haven't felt like doing much exercising not that I do much anyway. But we had started walking once a day around the area lake. Today it's been raining off and on so I don't know if we will get that walk in or not. I did get a new food journal which I really like.
4/17 203.6 I wasn’t sure about any loss today. Last night we ate at Cracker Barrel but I had the grilled trout, cooked baby carrots, fried apples and one and a half biscuits. I was worried the bread would do me in, I’ve not had very much bread at all this past month. Also had a very short walk last night but it was something.
4/18 203.6 Traveling today to spend two days with my mom.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 257 (my 187th). So grateful @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round; to lose! To be consistent and lose something. I start this round a year older (hopefully wiser ?) Officially an OAP! How can that be I can’t possibly be that old – I feel much much younger 😊.
Good luck everyone for a successful round.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 target of 130 = 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.

4/16 140.6 – (trend 141.2) a nice number to start my birthday, hoping to hold on to/improve it by being consistent this round. 9.43 miles walked, just less than 20% exercise calories eaten back.
4/17 140.6 – (trend 141.1) Thank you for the lovely birthday wishes, had a wonderful day. DH brought me a coffee in bed, got up to open my pressies & cards, then he went off to work. Relaxing manicure and went on to meet sisters for lunch, then a garden centre; bought plants! Kept under calories until DH surprised me with a birthday cake in the evening, only had small piece and weighed it, took me over by 122. 7.48 miles walked.
4/18 141.4 - (trend 141.1) 9.94 miles walked, just under 60% exercise calories eaten back.
4/19 142.4 – (trend 141.3) no structured walking as childminding little DGS.

First time here! Female, 5’11, 37 years old
Goals: movement everyday, 3.5 litres water, intermittent fasting when I can, no mindless snacking!
4/16: 188.8
4/17: 187.4 (happy with that but also expected as I intermittent fasted last night and know I’ve got quite a bit of water weight)
4/18: didn't weigh today
4/19: 188.4 (up due to more eating, some chocolate, not monitoring calories etc).

4/16 178.0 That was a pretty good drop since yesterday, so I won’t be surprised with a bounce tomorrow, if there is one. Had a great walk in the neighborhood last night. The weather has been picture perfect the last few days! Food has been on track now for quite some time. I’m craving protein at night recently but so far I am resisting once I’m done for the day. I’m happy with the macro levels I am currently achieving. We are moving Dad into Assisted Living next Wednesday, so I'm having trouble shutting my brain down at night. Only getting about 5 hours of sleep these days and that's after I get up and finally take a nerve pill. I know Assisted Living's the right thing to do, and he seems to be ok with it, but I just worry.
4/17 178.4 Did a yoga session right before bed and that did seem to help me get to sleep. Today I need to get in a good walk.
4/18 178.4 No real exercise today, but some yoga before bed to help me sleep.
4/19 178.2 Got in a long walk after dinner and it felt great to get in some real mileage. I did find out that Medicare will pay for a gym membership through the Silver Sneakers program, so I may give that a try once it kicks in and I have a little more time for myself. They have water aerobics and a circuit training for us OAPs (LOL) that maybe my knees can handle. Plus, of course, you have access to everything else there. I used to enjoy my gym before Covid. We'll see. I gave in and had a chocolate milkshake with my granddaughter and my dad, so yesterday was my highest carb day since starting this. I guess we will find out if my walk and only eating salad afterwards will prevent a bounce.
