04/21 —
04/22 -- I have developed a muffin-top which is the stage right before you need a new size. I’m pretty disgusted right now and can’t take much more disappointment. The struggle is real. You are not alone.
04/23 — I’m popping on to check in and keep up on reading the posts. I am doing so-so which is not good enough to reverse any damage, I’m sure. Feeling bloated and chubby. Today was a PCP local doctor appointment for myself and my son too. I saw the doctors scale and had to bend down and pick my eyeballs off the floor. Of course I was fully dressed and it was 1:00 in the afternoon with meals and a pot of coffee in me, but still much worse than expected. I am not emotionally ready to go through that again so I will seriously try to focus over the next couple of days. Afterward I traveled about 2 hours each way for a special order building supply for the renovation. I chose chicken for dinner but at this point nothing seems to matter or help. Tomorrow I will travel about 3 hours round trip so no meal away will be necessary. It will be an in & out thing. I am waiting on the call to hear that our new glasses are in. There will be some travel there to pick them up. I just want a one week stretch at home with no travel to really focus but like Mick said, “You can’t always get what you want.”

🎷 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.

4/17 140.6 – (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.

4/16 178.0 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.
4/20 177.6 I’ve increased the distance of my walks and am really enjoying that after dinner. Hubby starts out with me most of the time and then I finish after he goes back to the house. But now I'm going a lot further than I was before. I am sleeping better, so I’m hoping to be able to keep this going.
4/21 178.8 Not sure what brought about this little bounce, but hoping I get it gone tomorrow. Continued my walking this afternoon and it really feels great! Did well with food choices again today.
4/22 178.6 My eating is on track and I’m getting in lots more exercise than even last round. I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing and the numbers will eventually cooperate. I lost good last round and often the round after that is SLOW! That’s exactly what’s going on here. It’ll be just fine!
4/23 177.8 Here’s a little drop, and I’ll take it.
4/24 178.8 Playing with the same pound or two this round. Maybe after I get Dad settled in at Assisted Living, I can work on figuring out what’s going on. Food choices haven’t really changed, and I’ve been getting in exercise. Body is just fighting me, I guess. Not unusual.

It will be time to take out the summer clothes soon and I have mixed emotions. I know that last years clothes will fit better but I won’t be wearing the dresses from 2-3 years ago just yet. Making that my end of summer goal!

TOP THREE! Daily Focus:
⚖️, 🏋️♀️15 min. 📿 increase#
4/15 R256 EW 131.2lbs.
4/16 131.5 ✅ Solid day. Commitments = 💪🏻 HM& 📿
🎾 3hrs🚶♀️11k 🏋️♀️
NSV- Used positive choices & 📝 to get myself out of the dump. Looking forward to today.
4/17 130.4 ✅ I’ll take the unexpected ⬇️…
Yesterday:🏋️♀️15 min 📿350 jumps 🎾 2 hrs 20 min,🚶♀️11k , protein ✅ Solid day but woke up @ 3:55am. My sleep isn’t cooperating. Lost my temper HUGE yesterday over minuscule stuff. Here I am thinking I’m dealing well, but I’m not realizing how much it’s impacting me…
📝 30 min.
Up @ 4:25 this morn. 🎾again then prepping for work Thurs morn…. then off to State 🎾tournament - starts Friday 7:30AM. Food planned!! Will sleep better tonight.
NSV: I’m amazed at how often I’m checking my thoughts & changing them. Even though I lost my temper, I was quick to understand why and apologize. Drank more 💦 and went for a walk. 📿 rope. Ate only to fuel my body yesterday.
4/18 130.9
✅🎾🏋️♀️🚶♀️🤸🏼📿 macros
Solid day! Food=Fuel. Up to 450 jumps on the 📿. I think I can do more it’s just boring….
Today: Up @ 4:45. Work, then prepping for 🎾tournament tomorrow. Have been drinking+ 💦. Food for tournament is planned and no alcohol.
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. Little to no variety.
4/19 131.0 lbs - Up at 3AM 👀
STATE 🎾 TODAY!
Yesterday: worked most of day, prepped for leaving town. Food & 💦good. No other ✅. Full day of tennis today!
4/20🎾DNW. 💦💦💦Played two matches. Team lost both matches but 1-1 for me & my partner. So fun. We have two matches today… Then home tonight, because we are no longer in contention. Having a blast!
Ate high protein. Busted: two drinks last night! Tequila and lime juice - zero- low carb! Onward!
4/21 133.4 My body is totally discombobulated & heavy. Retaining fluids and no sleep plus over 20k steps per day both F & S… Once I catch up on my sleep and drink 💦💦💦 will feel better. Did not over eat and I stuck with my macros. When you truly pay attention to your body, you just know when it’s off kilter, right? Haven’t been this tired physically & emotionally in years. Huge build-up then let down for the 🎾tournament. All worth it… Athletic competition is so much fun… Will re-enter normalcy& routine soon. 😎
Guess what?! I ate a piece of cake yesterday! I think it’s been since Christmas that I had anything sweet. Oh gosh, it was so gross… I was so exhausted. I walked past this big grocery store sheet cake and said what the hell… Did I enjoy it? Not really. the sugar gave me a momentary rush… It was impulsive, so I’m not quite where I want to be yet… To just keep on walking … I’m telling you it’s just not worth it. I still have a headache.
Will be yucky all day today… Not sure how many steps I can get in, but I will stretch and 🏋️♀️.
Will finish strong this round.
4/22 ⚖️132.0 Couch potato ALL day. The day became gorgeous around 11AM, but still didn’t move off the couch… still wiped out… Playing tennis today to get my body / blood moving. Still dehydrated…. Slept better. (Till 4:45) Tomorrow is definitely my deadline for THE ✅checklist! More 💦💦💦 today.
4/23 ⚖️ 131.4 lbs slept till 6:10!!! Played 🎾 about 60 min … & still tired. Still bloated and dehydrated… STILL! One hr 💤nap. 🚫✅ I will do more today. Ate a steak, eggs & chicken breast. Lots of 💦. My body was wrecked. Get to see DGS so I know I’ll have a great day.
Sleep- It’s the sleep! Gosh, if I could just keep sleeping well. 9+ hrs vs 5 makes a huge difference!
4/24 131.5 slept till 5:20. Sleeping well four days in a row! 🚫✅ yesterday… Still super tired, but worked around the house. Our home was power washed, so we emptied the porches- moved furniture, rugs, plants… off & back. Lots of lifting, so does that count for 🏋️♀️? Traveling today so will get back to groove tomorrow. Promise to me!

WOE & Health Journey
****************************
WOE since 7/2023: MAD: (Mostly Animal Diet) Whole Foods. No processed foods. Animal-based proteins: EGGS, Beef, pork, chicken, seafood, venison and grass-fed whey protein. I count macros & kcals - always will. (Since portion control is my issue). Keto is high-fat but I’m now leaner animal proteins with lower fat than Keto. I thought I was “KETOVORE” but I’ve been told I am “MAD”.
I had paralyzing IBS for 20+ years. My mother was diagnosed with celiac’s disease in her 50’s. Following her lead, I eliminated wheat, oat, barley, and rye in 2015 …. Dairy? Hard cheese, HWC and butter - an occasional high protein Greek yogurt. Vegetables destroy my digestive system… I love vegetables, but when I splurge, I pay for it for several days… I do enjoy berries, lemons, limes. Avocados are my weakness. Enjoy a piece(s) of dark chocolate on occasion. Generally, I eat btw noon and 6 pm. (IF18/6). Alcohol? Used to be somewhat of a weekend social drinker and would enjoy a good martini/scotch or Paloma at home while cooking dinner. NO MORE. Root of many evils. Primarily, the destruction of will power and the enemy of optimal choices. I’d rather journey toward my best-self. I haven’t given up alcohol completely, but I enjoy it sparingly on special occasions. This is me. I finally feel terrific.
History:
I have ALWAYS been ON a “diet” since at least 9th grade. I have never been comfortable with my body - NEVER EVER- no matter my weight.
Pre- college: 125-130lbs
College- up to 160lbs one year… graduated @130lbs.
Many MANY different diets each decade!
1990 (Age 32) - Avg.130-140 lbs (my son was born 1988)

BF% : 23%
Aug 14, 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take serious control of my health. I lost 30lbs by 11/15/2014. Weight @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Six years!
2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140lbs. 🎢🎢🎢 Always self-conscious.
8/1/ 2022 crept up to 142lbs.
Dropped to 128lbs again by 10/30 - held 130lbs till 2/1/23.
2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much. My nutrition has always been somewhat healthy BUT portion control is/was THE issue. Started tracking again 7/15/23. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are @ 130ish determined to…. STOP the 🎢 & be in the
📣#bestshapeofmylife 📣
The yo-yo is exhausting & unhealthy. Takes up way too much brain space.
I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to be healthy & fit & maintain approx. 130lbs & IN SHAPE - to enjoy my “Senior” years to my fullest.
While active with 🚶♀️& 🎾 it’s clear a ST 🏋️♀️🤸🏼routine was absent. Strength & balance are 💯most important now. Time to incorporate ST 🏋️♀️ 🙆♀️🤸🏼as my TRUE focus. I want healthy/fit choices to be my first nature.

Hope your BD was the BEST ever!!!!4 -
I didn't participate in this round.. I could post my weights but I didn't lose that much.. however, despite a stubborn number on the scale I wanted to post my NSV...
I did measurements and in the last few weeks I have lost about an inch around my bust, waist, butt, and thighs! To me that says real weight loss (not just water weight etc). Actual fat loss. So it's a big motivator and I will be back for the next round!11 -
I'm Crystal! I am aiming for 1200 calories/day, less than 90 carbs and low sugar. Recently added more protein to my diet and walking on most days.

I have been so worried about her because she was an alcoholic and on top of this she is very overweight. She has stopped drinking and this month alone she's already lost 12 lbs just from no alcohol. She is working out now and working towards eating healthier. I think that her seeing me do better gave her the push to want to as well. Although I never had an issue with alcohol, I'm glad that I can be a good example for her 😃. Praying that she doesn't turn back to drinking and she can have the discipline to stick with it.
4/17 170.2 I was waiting for a drop. I could tell my body has been holding on to water. Also have barely had an appetite for 2 days, so I was a good bit under on calories both days (not complaining about that 🤪). Weight will probably go up a little when I'm eating back to normal.
4/18 170.2 Another good day yesterday. Feels good to set goals and actually stick with them. I set another goal for myself this month also to not bite or pick at my fingernails. (I know it sounds gross) Just something I've been doing since I was a little girl. Bad bad habit that I've never been able to break. Although my nails still aren't long, I have more nails now than I ever have and I can actually paint them 😀.
4/19 171.5 Weighed myself 2 hours early this morning before I really got moving around. Seems like I weigh a little more when I first wake up. Yesterday was another good day with all goals met.
4/20 170.9 Low calorie day yesterday. Not much planned this weekend which is nice to have a break!
4/21 171.7 Japanese for dinner last night. High sodium and rice 😆. Very little sleep the past 2 nights also. Lots of water today!
4/22 169.8 Whew it's good to see the 160's. Just pushing through and sticking with the program. Still no cheat days this month, and have exercised daily. I have been out to eat a several times but I just make sure to keep it in my calories.
4/24 169.3 Still going strong for the month of April. I think this has been my best month yet. Feeling great ❤️.

@reshii_devi a belated Happy Birthday! Hope you had a wonderful day to kick off a great year!
@itladyee I agree with you, I love Arizona and it is a great place to live, but I'd miss my family too much- and NYC and the ocean!6 -

Charissa,
“I've done Keto and it's a bit too high on the fat side to be sustainable for me.”
@judefit1 ~ I love Arizona. For a brief stint last year, considered moving their in retirement. The kicker was I couldn't bear to be that far from my son, DIL and grandchild.
@quiltingjaine ~ I haven't been to a Golden Corral in a long time. It would surely be a disaster zone for me but sounds like you navigated it well. You had a lot of challenges this round, great way to reign it in. I like it!
Hey Charissa! In keto, fat isn’t a goal so if you don’t need it to feel satisfied, don’t eat it. Protein is THE GOAL, carbs are a limit, fat is the lever to feeling satisfied. In the beginning I would occasionally have a sliver of ice cold butter and let it melt on my tongue. If you are eating fat your body isn’t burning your fat stores. You don’t HAVE to eat it, it’s “available” if you need it.
Re: Golden Corral - the people we were with are both diabetic and I had decided I wasn’t going to be a pig in front of them. I don’t know what else “he” ate but I know he made at least 4 fish sandwich sandwiches from the fried fish fillets and dinner rolls. Pre COVID I know his a1c was super high - double digits but we haven’t discussed it in ages.
@judefit1 DD#2 and her DD were the reason we moved to Nevada. We gained a DSIL and 3 more grandchildren with that union. And now DGGS who is almost 2.5 -

SW RND 257 134.5
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.🤪😂
4/19 136.5 Liquid fast yesterday
4/20 134.5 Liquid fast yesterday but short on water. Going to Great Greek today
4/21 135.0 Super low calories the last week, no idea why the bump up. Just keeping to it and riding the waves.
4/22 134.5 Today I have my Art Quilt group across town.
4/23 134.5 Expected a slight bump since I ate ham, maybe tomorrow. If it happens I’m good with it.
4/24 133.5 Today DH is going to brunch with our blind friend who no longer lives in our neighborhood. His daughter bought a house with a “mother in law” apartment so Frank has his own private area.11 -

04/23 — I’m popping on to check in and keep up on reading the posts. I am doing so-so which is not good enough to reverse any damage, I’m sure. Feeling bloated and chubby. Today was a PCP local doctor appointment for myself and my son too. I saw the doctors scale and had to bend down and pick my eyeballs off the floor. Of course I was fully dressed and it was 1:00 in the afternoon with meals and a pot of coffee in me, but still much worse than expected. I am not emotionally ready to go through that again so I will seriously try to focus over the next couple of days. Afterward I traveled about 2 hours each way for a special order building supply for the renovation. I chose chicken for dinner but at this point nothing seems to matter or help. Tomorrow I will travel about 3 hours round trip so no meal away will be necessary. It will be an in & out thing. I am waiting on the call to hear that our new glasses are in. There will be some travel there to pick them up. I just want a one week stretch at home with no travel to really focus but like Mick said, “You can’t always get what you want.”
04/24 Today I take the short round trip (about 3 hours) to look at an investment opportunity. I hope to have a good day with my eating. I don’t worry about my meals since I enjoy the foods on my plan very much. It’s the snacks and the night time. Having bouts with my binge eating disorder is not just disruptive, it’s dangerous for my diabetes and my overall health too. I’m really trying to get it under control. I did talk to the doctor yesterday about it a bit. However, he was not my regular doctor, he was on loan to help my doctor catch up on his work load. All he basically did was order another A1C saying that any rise in my sugar numbers could be causing the symptoms. I tried to explain that it’s the other way around. The symptoms are what causes me to binge and raise my sugar numbers. He did make it clear that the larger glucose numbers will cause a hunger that cannot be filled. It would make me eat and eat. In the end, I don’t think he wanted to step on my doc’s toes and address a “new issue” on his own so I got no answers on how to fix all this. Hopefully the labs will be passed onto my doc along with the appointment notes and I’ll hear something. I was really at the appt to re-check the foot issue anyway but the loaner doc said that my foot, likely diabetic neuropathy according to the hospital, is also just another symptom of the unstable diabetes even though I still feel like I probably actually stepped on something causing an injury. Maybe some answers will come of all this. I love when I have my strong days when the cogs on the wheels work so smoothly together and dieting is easy and doesn’t feel like dieting at all. I hate these hard times, weak times, bad times. I don’t always understand how it flips from one to the other so easily. What a roller coaster! What a journey! What a ride this is!

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