SW RND 258 133.5
4/26 134.5 I expected a higher bounce since I ate most of a loaded baked potato. I got grilled shrimp instead of the intended lobster and passed on the warm loaves of bread.
4/27 134.5 We went for BBQ at lunch but I wasnβt hungry so picked at my brisket. Ate my potato skin for dinner - added butter, cheese and sour cream. Quite a treat since I have always loved potato skin. Today is French toast breakfast at the clubhouse. I hope they have eggs and bacon, too.
4/28 133.5 Iβm surprised since I ate the French toast. The only other thing I ate was a small piece of steak (left from Outback) and 7 boiled shrimp with homemade bang bang sauce.
4/29 134.5 Great Greek yesterday. What is it about that that always causes a bump up or is that from the load of carbs from French toast on Saturday? Side salad and steak. I made a coffee cake and took it to neighbors but didnβt eat even a crumb.
4/30 DNW up since 3AM
5/1 133.5 I felt as if I didnβt drink enough water yesterday. We went to El Pollo Loco for dinner- hadnβt been there in a long time. It is probably the healthiest fast food there is - grilled chicken, salad, broccoli but our meal included a churro, which of course, I ate. Why is it that I had awokened at 3AM and at 11PM I was not the least bit tired and hadnβt yawned at all?????
5/2 134.5 π€·ββοΈπ€·ββοΈ Maybe the rumbling deep in my belly?? Going to help DD inventory the school library today. Different scenery but not a great deal of movement.5 -

@Skyleen75So I basically ate the dream meal of an eight year old spaced throughout the day. TERRIBLE!!!! I am the worst in my busy season especially if Iβm not prepared. Iβm surviving strictly on my activity level while not fueling my body correctly.
@fmfdfa2020I wonder when I'm my "normal" weight if I will still feel this way, or the fact that I'm not "dieting" will keep me from feeling like I have to eat everything in the house this once before starting over.
I can confirm for you, nothing changes- which is why I've yoyo'd a good 60 lbs back and forth for my entire life. It's not like I hit 125 and become one of those people who can "eat anything" and is "naturally thin". I am essentially a short, chunky Italian girl who LOVES food and gains weight REALLY fast.
I think sorting out our life stresses, food desires and needs, and balancing with what is delicious and fun are the hardest tasks we all face. The "dieting" word is tough because it suggests that my "thin self" has different desires than my "chubby self" - and I don't change! I still want to eat like an 8 year old. Go, Reese's peanut butter cups for dinner! For me it's a pint of Haagen Dazs washed down by tortilla chips.
I love this group because I feel like I found "my peeps". We're all here working hard, every day-so congratulations to you both, and everyone else here doing the work. I'll be around for a long time- I figured out that I haven't changed, even if my size has.
Some weeks are better than others- let's see what I'm saying in September :-)
@judefit1 Thanks for posting this - everything you wrote is very helpful/insighful, and I loved this:
"The "dieting" word is tough because it suggests that my "thin self" has different desires than my "chubby self" - and I don't change!"
It's also a reminder that I have to keep putting the work in on understanding "why" I binge, and what the triggers are for me, and there's no magical day that all of a sudden I won't still have to do this.6 -
Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this going!

4/28 - 179.0 - I've been part of this challenge off and on (more on) since Dec 2020. I haven't posted since Sept 2023. I'm almost back to my heaviest weight. I can blame this on not being able to exercise due to some major health issues, but truthfully I think I just started eating more and more as self-comfort and some depression. I never think I'm going to "really" have any major health problems (most people feel this way, I believe). Because I've had two major issues over the past 2 years, I started losing my confidence that everything was going to be okay. However, I'm so much better now!! And ready to get healthy again!! It makes me nervous to talk about my health issues (it's like putting it out there in the universe is bad luck - I know, I'm weird), but later I hope to post a few comments as my experience might help others. I'm glad to be back posting, Everyone on here has always been so positive and supportive of each otherπ

4/30 - 177.4 - Enjoying the initial downward trend while losing some water weight these first days mainly due to lower carbs and drinking a lot more water.
5/01 - 177.6 - It looks like I'm settling in on the 177s after the first initial weight drop from mostly water weight. I'm calorie cycyling where I eat around 1000 to 1600 calories each day, maintaining an average of about 1200-1300 for the week. The reason it helps me is I'm a binger and if I'm still hungry at the end of the day, it helps me to know if I eat more calories, they are "planned" and it keeps me from bingeing. I unfortunately am a little bit of a control freak where it's all or nothing, and when I would eat over my "alloted" calories for the day, I would feel like I blew it and binge, and was always starting over. I wonder when I'm my "normal" weight if I will still feel this way, or the fact that I'm not "dieting" will keep me from feeling like I have to eat everything in the house this once before starting over. So, this calorie cycying keeps me from getting in my head thinking I blew it (which of course if I was able to think reasonabley about it, I did not), and know that I have a plan for these days. What ever works, right? I'm a work in progress.

No worries! I had my higher calorie day yesterday and I had way too much salt, but even if this wasn't the case, I have to remind myself that it's perfectly normal for weight to fluctuate each day!!!!!

5/02 - 149.7 - I will take the drop! Managed to stick fairly close to macros and avoided dairy (despite pizza being offered for lunch yesterday. Thankfully they also had chicken sliders and fruit salad I could fill up on). I wasn't perfect and I'm sure my tracking wasn't perfect, either, as I had to estimate a lot. Still gave it an effort and the scale shows a payoff. The drop may be due to slight dehydration. Despite my best efforts to stay well-hydrated, airports and airplanes are naturally drying. Even if the drop is dehydration, the good news is that it wasn't offset by overeating or horrendous bloat so it's still an overall positive! No workout this morning as I got in so late and needed the extra sleep/recovery. I'm hoping to sneak in some kind of workout tomorrow though I'm not entirely sure what. I did legs Monday then combined back and biceps Tuesday then chest and triceps at the hotel gym yesterday so all my core muscle groups have been targeted. I like having 4 days of lifting, though. If the Man goes to the gym, I'll likely focus a bit more on legs, otherwise I will figure out a full body kettlebell routine to do at home.

Previous Day's Comments4/26 - I definitely went over macros a bit (I logged 2oz of pasta but I had 3oz left of the package. I forgot to pull that extra ounce before making my plate) so I'm surprised at this drop. Yesterday was very very stressful but it set me up for some dedicated quiet work today while most people are off to hopefully finalize things on this project that's been stressing me out so bad for the past couple months. I've started dreaming of work which is an indication I need to step away. Hopefully by this time next week I can take a step back to breathe a bit (likely will travel Wed/Thurs next week). No dedicated workout today. Due to rain threat, I knocked out my 10 minute walk (Coach has daily goals of 10min walks, 80-90oz water, and 8-10k steps. These will increase). When it got light out, there was still no rain so I quickly snuck out with the dogs to get a second walk in and get outside in nature. Glad I did, it's rainy now and forecast to stay rainy all weekend! Meals are planned for macros and I'm feeling good.

4/29 - This is bloat from a Crawfish Boil with Fam yesterday. I'm feeling okay, though. Good workout this morning. I'm traveling out to a meeting out of state for work tomorrow. I'll have a chance to work out first, at least. If the weather cooperates (there's forecast to be storms there and here at home) I'll be coming home Wednesday night. If I can be home, I'll be back to post Thursday. I likely won't have a chance to post tomorrow, but I can weigh in at least to keep the trend moving, hopefully downward. I'll be happy when this project is finalized. Very very busy day today trying to finalize things. Luckily it's something I can work on offline as well from the plane (they're short flights, though) and my layover to get things done before our meeting with the vendor Wednesday morning.

Love your calorie cycling idea to stay between 1200-1300 on average. Hugs from a fellow binge eater. I, too, am going to go back to calorie cycling for a better balance.
I'm a binge eater too, I'm going to give this a go, thanks for the idea @fmfdfa2020 & @Decfitby40 , I think I've also seen @deepwoodslady mention it in the past too. I've set up my spreadsheet to keep a record
.
@musicsax Yes on the binge eating disorder and yes on the calorie cycling. I am doing what they call the "zig zag diet" which is basically calorie cycling. I also cycle my carbs in the plan. It does have many advantages. I love how the days are interchangeable and builds in those slightly higher calorie/carb days as needed. I do feel this plan also helps to keep my metabolism guessing. It's been an experiment for me but I have lost quite a few pounds experimenting with it in these past few months. I am in a "funk" right now but as I pull myself out I have been cycling those calories again. Tip: I do not have MFP premium, just the free MFP. However, I am still able to go into my home page, then my goal page and change the amount of calories each day. This automatically changes my carbs and other macros for me. I can't do it ahead for the whole week, I must go in each morning and do it day-by-day but it makes the calorie cycling so much easier when it refigures the macros for you!5 -
I'm Crystal! I am aiming for 1260 calories/day, around 100 carbs or less, low sugar and high protein. Also plan to exercise daily when I'm not away.

Could be the meal I had yesterday evening. Planning to drink a lot of water today. I have been slacking on vegetables lately so I need to start working those more into my meals too.4/30 170.6 The scale has been all over the place lately when I weigh myself, and it's fairly new. I try to go with the weight that I get 2 or 3 the same. Might have to get another set. I have another one that is newer also but it's not digital.
4/27 170.0 Weighed this morning but didn't get around to posting. Will update more in the morning
4/28 170.6 Busy day yesterday so I didn't drink enough water. Stayed in my goals but there was cake and ice cream last night.
4/29 169.5 Ate light yesterday but still snuck in a half piece of cake π. Thankfully the cake is almost gone lol... I'm not getting enough sleep. The past couple of days I've just been exhausted. Really think it's a mixture of not sleeping much and the way I've eaten lately. Although I'm still meeting my goals, we have eaten out a lot lately. I think that definitely plays a part in the way I feel too.
5/1 170.2 Good day yesterday. Finished out April with meeting my goals and exercising each day. Trying to not get discouraged with the slow process. I think a lot of things are contributing to that (not enough sleep, out to eat too often, etc...). Hoping I can finish this round out with a loss.
5/2 169.5 Glad its coming back down π.

04/30 -185.6- (Trend weight182.3)
05/01 -185.4- (Trend weight182.3) I watched βHack your Health The secrets of your gutβ on Netflix last night. It was very interesting and did explain some things that I didnβt know. Iβm glad I watched it. In the month of May I hope to lose at least 4 lbs which is my usual goal. However, it would be WONDERFUL if I could get back into the high 170βs I had accomplished before the foot injury last month. This is my birthday month and what a great gift to myself that would be, even if it takes until the end of the month to accomplish this. New month-New Opportunity, right? Iβm pretty disappointed in my weight but feel stronger today and ready to face the music! Today marked halfway through this round. There is still time to put a dent in it.
05/02 -185.4- (Trend weight182.4) I did well all day until evening snack time. I stuck to my βapprovedβ snacks but probably had as many calories and carbs in my snacks as I had in my dinner earlier. Not good. I recently bought a box of Elevation brand snack bars at Aldiβs. The calories are fair and the net carbs are very good (2 Net Carbs). The portion size is smaller than a normal bar or candy bar but it was so very good that I ate two. The taste and the 2 net carbs are so appealing that it makes them dangerous to be in my home. I probably will not buy them again until I feel I have better control of my sweet tooth. I had no exercise yesterday when I could have fit it in. Yes, I was pretty busy paying bills and such since it was the 1st of the month but realistically I know I could have made the time. Iβm getting complacent with my food and lazy with my exercise and that is not the recipe for success. I am happy for no gain today and for feeling βenlightenedβ to my current behaviors. I hate the way these extra couple of pounds makes me feel both inside and out. I have already started my day with a workout video while I waited for my construction crew to show up. Today is already a better day. I am recommitting and plan on keeping all the promises I made to myself because I am worth it.

4/28 152.4 Ate out for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Iβm guessing my meal last night has more sodium than a home cooked meal.

@musicsax, so sorry that you have a cough keeping you awake at night. If it lasts more than a week and gets worse, you should get it checked. A common cold can quickly turn to bronchitis or pneumonia. Take careβ€
@SheilaBoneham, Tdap is a reminder for me to get a tetanus shot. My last Tdap was when my granddaughter was born. She was a preemie and I was her caregiver.7 -
quiltingjaine wrote: Β»@musicsax I donβt know what your cough is like but I had one (as did many other people) that lasted for MONTHS when we lived in Illinois. No prescription cough meds helped. I spent four months sleeping in my recliner because I started to cough if I was lying down. The doctor told me several months later that he and some other area doctors had been together discussing this as each had patients with the same condition. They decided we had had whooping cough!
I remember DS had whooping cough when we were kids, her racking cough sounded like a seal barking, 60 years on I can still hear it in my head! My cough is not like that (luckily), but it has been so persistent especially when I lie down at night, keeping me awake. But I am pleased that it does seem to have subsided quite a lot during today, so I am hoping for a better nights sleep.
@SheilaBoneham - I know as a child I did have the vaccination (we had all the childhood ones) & I'm sure DS would have had it too so not really sure why she suffered !?2 -
π¦πποΈββοΈten more days to a lighter me! Last round found me going the wrong direction. I felt tired and hungry most of the time. I need to get control of whatever is going on and turn this train around. Pushing the water, holding off on after dinner snacks, keeping up the 10,000 plus steps and adding in some ST. Hereβs to a smaller number at the end of this round!

π· 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 258 (my 188th). So grateful @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round; to lose! To be consistent and lose something; to get back into the 130s! Strive to have a feeding frenzy free π. 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, itβs 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.

********************4/26 131.8 lbs
TBH surprised @βοΈ. Thought Iβd be real 130s. Yes, only a pound but itβs about knowing myself. At this juncture, I should be able to nail it with certainty. I didnβt sleep well last night (Woke up at 4 AM this morning) which is probably the reason.
Iβve been hitting 10k+ steps at least 6x per week. Did not yesterdayβ¦ Worked most of the day and played tennis last night. I have been doing really well with proteinβ¦ Tonight - girls night out, so planning it out. Gotta figure out this sleep thingβ¦ Itβs holding me back from my best selfβ¦
Today: πββοΈποΈββοΈπΏπΎ.
NSV: Feeling comfortable & positive. Practicing staying in the moment.
4/27. DNW. Busy, busy, busy with life yesterday. Good protein. πββοΈπΎπΆββοΈ10k. BUT, didnβt stop to take care of me for this round. π«β . Today, will journal and reset. Just give me NINE days! π
Up at 3am. Simply not going to be healthy with these sleep patterns.
4/28 133.0 Yep. iβm still discombobulated. Not returning to routine is not helpful. Still not sleeping. Up at 4am. Clothes are looser than ever but so darn puffy. Itβs not what Iβm eatingβ¦. My cortisol must be high, stress, dehydration, retaining fluids. Iβll check in tomorrow. Will search & capture some positivity. Focus on π¦π¦π¦.
4/29 132.0. Fluctuations from no sleep, stress. ποΈββοΈfor 20 min.
π«β . I fear IBS is back. Itβs been yearsβ¦. Rough day with those old familiar pains. βοΈ today. Will be sure to π¦π¦π¦. Hoping for a much better day.
Since Iβm not feeling well, may just hit this hard Wed 5/1. Not an excuse to delay, just some grace. IBS hurts like hell. However, there will be stretches when I feel great so I will fit some βFITβ inβ¦. Certainly donβt want to give inβ¦.. Letβs GO!πͺπ»
4/30 132.0 slept till 6am with a little help from an Ibuprofen p.m.
Letβs see how today unfolds β¦?yesterday ποΈββοΈ 20 min and π¦π¦π¦. Try for same plus π¦π¦π¦.
5/1. DNW. No sleep again. Up @ 3AM. Yesterday: Worked in the morning. Then πΎfor 2hrs. Didnβt start drinking water until mid-day. High protein. πββοΈποΈββοΈπ¦. 9k steps. πΎ today. πββοΈπΆββοΈποΈββοΈHavenβt been π or reading. No sleep wreaking havoc.
5/2 133.0 πββοΈποΈββοΈπΎ
I donβt like this #. no sleep, high stress, edgy. Food not great but still fuel. Not enough protein. Itβs been almost 2 weeks since Iβve gone on a structured LONG walk, so Iβm going to do that this morning. Work the rest of the day. Hope to journal. In a holding pattern. My βmoodβ is not where I want it. Need to food plan. My β5/1β first day of the month βkick-offβ fell on its face. Today will be better.
133 is a wake-up call. Food hasnβt done thisβ¦. Stress, no walking, no sleep is the culprit. Seems like my body is holding on to π© (no pun intended)β¦ my systems are on strike. Letβs see if I can jump start my system today. More π¦π¦π¦ and walk.
5/3 132.0 walked 6 mi and felt great. nature is the KEY! Slept until 515 this morning so I guess thatβs a big deal tooβ¦ Feel better than yesterday. Will walk again today. πββοΈποΈββοΈ. π¦π¦π¦
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 Iβm now leaner animal proteins with lower fat than Keto. I thought I was βKETOVOREβ but Iβve been told I am βMADβ.
I had paralyzing IBS for 20+ years. My mother was diagnosed with celiacβs disease in her 50βs. Following her lead, I eliminated wheat, oat, barley, and rye in 2015 β¦. Dairy? Hard cheese, HWC and butter - an occasional high protein Greek yogurt. Vegetables destroy my digestive systemβ¦ I love vegetables, but when I splurge, I pay for it for several daysβ¦ 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. Iβd rather journey toward my best-self. I havenβt given up alcohol completely, but I enjoy it sparingly on special occasions. This is me. I finally feel terrific.

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. π’π’π’ 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 β¬οΈ 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.

The yo-yo is exhausting & unhealthy. Takes up way too much brain space.
I learned MY choices created an emotional π’ roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to be healthy & fit & maintain approx. 130lbs & IN SHAPE - to enjoy my βSeniorβ years to my fullest.
While active with πΆββοΈ& πΎ itβs clear a ST ποΈββοΈπ€ΈπΌroutine was absent. Strength & balance are π―most important now. Time to incorporate ST ποΈββοΈ πββοΈπ€ΈπΌas my TRUE focus. I want healthy/fit choices to be my first nature.

5/3: wine outside with DD#2 as it was 80Β° and sunny, and tonight will rain. My binge night- came home and had grilled cheese and ice cream for dinner. It's my first time breaking "the plan" since December and I think I needed to just do it. Comfort foods were exactly what I needed with this damned Covid.
@musicsax and all the comments about the cough- that's the part of this that's most difficult, the intense cough. It's been the most persistent symptom- a dry, hacking coughing spasm. It's finally getting better.
I had a Tdap vaccine about 10 yrs ago-I appear to be due for another so I'll add that to my wellness checkup list!

/Nope, walked, parched myself/ Tip toeing back into the group after a week of AWOL. I have not posted since 4/22. Our little mini trip turned into an excuse to pay zero attention to my goals for last round, and to neglect the beginning of this round. No scale available, but that should never matter. I like the non-scale-victories better anyway.
Hopping off the sugar train starting today.
4/30: 223.0
/logged; exercised; 66 oz water/
Ugh. But the sugar train left the station without me yesterday and other βmetricsβ were in proper order.
MFP tells me that if every day were like yesterday I would weigh 207.4 lbs in five weeks. I know every day is not alike; in fact it would be impossible. For example, today I have pizza for lunch with friends, so it may take me longer than five weeks to reach 207.4. π
5/1: 222.4
/logged; exercised; drank 90 oz/
On the right side of the slope yesterday.
On another note, I am enjoying the birds in the backyard this week. The Baltimore Orioles are back. They are in our area for just a few days as they must migrate further north, so we set out some jelly and orange halves for them. So beautiful.
Also Rose Breasted Grosbeaks. Not sure if they are making their summer home here or just passing through.
And, the wrens are snooping around our houses, trying to decide about staying. Hope they do.
5/2: 223.2
/logged and under budget; 2 hours of active exercise; 99 oz water/
And that is why this scale reading is so bizarre. How could I gain almost a pound yesterday? I just looked at my food log and sodium was 3200+ mg. Hmmm.

4/29 178.6. Pretty pleased to be pretty much where I started today after a long weekend in the mountains. Ate some junk, but worked like crazy getting the camper open and didnβt eat often, so I guess it evened itself out.
4/30 179.2 Had trouble yesterday getting back in the groove, but took control today. Hopefully will start moving down again tomorrow. Lots of stress right now with Dadβs adjustment to his new place, so prayers for him would be appreciated.
5/1 177.8 The cravings settled back down yesterday, and I was able to stay totally on plan. Ate out last night, but had salmon Caesar salad which was delicious. Iβve been basically in this same rut since 4-20, so Iβm ready for a little drop. Any time now!
5/2. 179 I was hungry all day and ate more junk than I would have liked.
5/3. 177.4 I saw a nutritionist yesterday who used my Apple Watch readings to determine how many calories Iβve been burning. She looked at my spreadsheet Iβve kept for two months from MFP data and told me I need to be eating a lot more, focusing on upping protein to at least 120 each day. She says thatβs why I lost in the beginning and have now been stalled for several weeks.

05/01 -185.4- (Trend weight182.3)
05/02 -185.4- (Trend weight182.4) I did well all day until evening snack time. I stuck to my βapprovedβ snacks but probably had as many calories in carbs in my snacks as I had in my dinner earlier. Not good. I recently bought a box of Elevation brand snack bars at Aldiβs. The calories are fair and the net carbs are very good (2 Net Carbs). The portion size is smaller than a normal bar or candy bar but it was so very good that I ate two. The taste and the 2 net carbs are so appealing that it makes them dangerous to be in my home. I probably will not buy them again until I feel I have better control of my sweet tooth. I had no exercise yesterday when I could have fit it in. Yes, I was pretty busy paying bills and such since it was the 1st of the month but realistically I know I could have made the time. Iβm getting complacent with my food and lazy with my exercise and that is not the recipe for success. I am happy for no gain today and for feeling βenlightenedβ to my current behaviors. I hate the way these extra couple of pounds makes me feel both inside and out. I have already started my day with a workout video while I waited for my construction crew to show up. Today is already a better day.
05/03 -182.6- (Trend weight182.6) This is an extra early weigh-in. I usually don't weigh on Fridays. Whoosh! Iβm not sure why, Probably glycogen. It was a good day yesterday, however. It was a lower calorie day on the zig-zag plan with a max of 1250 calories and 78 carbs. I was a bit under on both. Tomorrow my oldest DD graduates with her first college degree. I am so excited for her. She is turning 41 next month so going back to college for a teaching degree was a big deal. I have to venture to a faraway town I never go to. A VERY BIG town for a country girl like me so Iβm a bit nervous about the drive. Thank Goodness for GPS. I heard about some weird circular turnabouts they have there so I am a little terrified right now, Iβm not gonna lie. This should be interesting. There will be a celebratory dinner out afterward. I will have little control of the menu but all control of the choices. I hope I keep this positive attitude at the restaurant tomorrow! Today I am working on water consumption as Iβve let that slip lately. Have a great weekend everyone.

I'm Crystal! I am aiming for 1260 calories/day, around 100 carbs or less, low sugar and high protein. Also plan to exercise daily when I'm not away.

RND 258: I aim to keep up my goal of staying within my calorie goal, and daily exercise for this whole round. The next 2 rounds will be a challenge since I'll be traveling.4/26 170.0 My weight is a little up from yesterday. Feeling a little blah and like my body is holding water. Could be the meal I had yesterday evening. Planning to drink a lot of water today. I have been slacking on vegetables lately so I need to start working those more into my meals too.5/1 170.2 Good day yesterday. Finished out April with meeting my goals and exercising each day. Trying to not get discouraged with the slow process. I think a lot of things are contributing to that (not enough sleep, out to eat too often, etc...). Hoping I can finish this round out with a loss.
4/27 170.0 Weighed this morning but didn't get around to posting. Will update more in the morning
4/28 170.6 Busy day yesterday so I didn't drink enough water. Stayed in my goals but there was cake and ice cream last night.
4/29 169.5 Ate light yesterday but still snuck in a half piece of cake π. Thankfully the cake is almost gone lol... I'm not getting enough sleep. The past couple of days I've just been exhausted. Really think it's a mixture of not sleeping much and the way I've eaten lately. Although I'm still meeting my goals, we have eaten out a lot lately. I think that definitely plays a part in the way I feel too.
4/30 170.6 The scale has been all over the place lately when I weigh myself, and it's fairly new. I try to go with the weight that I get 2 or 3 the same. Might have to get another set. I have another one that is newer also but it's not digital.
5/2 169.5 Glad its coming back down π.
5/3 168.2 The whoosh I was looking for β€οΈ. I'm now at a 30lb loss since October last year. Seems slow but from what I've heard, slow is better. I still want to lose another 18 lbs.

~ Ate only low carb foods yesterday but I was eating when I wasnβt hungry. I knew it when I got out my late night snack but sometimes Iβm too tired and just want to ignore that little reminder in my head
Planning on really tightening up over the weekend. Really want to finish this round at 167!

~ I increased my exercise goal to 1 hour daily but since then Iβve noticed my calorie burn has lowered. Sooo NOT the point I was trying to make! Lol but anyway.. Iβm going to dust off my old polar heart rate monitor and start using it again, that should help keep my heart rate in the calorie burn zone the entire time Iβm on the treadmill - Tue 04/30π’168.8;-1.1lbs
~ Didnβt really log my food until the day was almost done. Husband started the keto diet with me. Heβs being very strict about it, minus the very light beer he drinks every day after work(3-4)
Curious if anyone could give me and my husband advice on which vitamins to take and at what dosage to take them daily while weβre in the early stages of the keto diet? Thank you in advance!! π€

Goal: Shoot for a healthy balance of nutritious food each day, 80oz of water, and some form of exercise that I enjoy.
4/26 - 181.8
4/27 - 180.4
4/28 - 179.0 - I've been part of this challenge off and on (more on) since Dec 2020. I haven't posted since Sept 2023. I'm almost back to my heaviest weight. I can blame this on not being able to exercise due to some major health issues, but truthfully I think I just started eating more and more as self-comfort and some depression. I never think I'm going to "really" have any major health problems (most people feel this way, I believe). Because I've had two major issues over the past 2 years, I started losing my confidence that everything was going to be okay. However, I'm so much better now!! And ready to get healthy again!! It makes me nervous to talk about my health issues (it's like putting it out there in the universe is bad luck - I know, I'm weird), but later I hope to post a few comments as my experience might help others. I'm glad to be back posting, Everyone on here has always been so positive and supportive of each otherπ
4/29 - 178.6
4/30 - 177.4 - Enjoying the initial downward trend while losing some water weight these first days mainly due to lower carbs and drinking a lot more water.
5/01 - 177.6 - It looks like I'm settling in on the 177s after the first initial weight drop from mostly water weight. I'm calorie cycyling where I eat around 1000 to 1600 calories each day, maintaining an average of about 1200-1300 for the week. The reason it helps me is I'm a binger and if I'm still hungry at the end of the day, it helps me to know if I eat more calories, they are "planned" and it keeps me from bingeing. I unfortunately am a little bit of a control freak where it's all or nothing, and when I would eat over my "alloted" calories for the day, I would feel like I blew it and binge, and was always starting over. I wonder when I'm my "normal" weight if I will still feel this way, or the fact that I'm not "dieting" will keep me from feeling like I have to eat everything in the house this once before starting over. So, this calorie cycying keeps me from getting in my head thinking I blew it (which of course if I was able to think reasonabley about it, I did not), and know that I have a plan for these days. What ever works, right? I'm a work in progress.
5/02 - 178.6 - No worries! I had my higher calorie day yesterday and I had way too much salt, but even if this wasn't the case, I have to remind myself that it's perfectly normal for weight to fluctuate each day!!!!!
5/03 - 177.2 - It's beautiful this morning but the blackflies are out, so it's the treadmill for a few weeks. After 2 major health issues over the past 2 years, I'm doing my best to stay in the moment and appreciate every day. I'm such an in-my-head person. Even when I walk on the beach (where the blackflies aren't ), I have to stop and make myself focus on my beautiful surroundings as not to take them for granite. Have a nice day and weekend everyone!
5/04

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

APRIL 1st SW: 198.2 | EW: 197.8
Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat βββ
Lost less than a pound, 1.25 inches combined on arms and legs | regained 0.2% body fat and 1/2 inch back on my belly. Starting dietary 200-400 calorie deficit and Intermittent Fasting 18-24 hrs. Breaking fast differently, including more protein, and continuing to look for new ways to increase step count and add more strength in May.
January 1st - April 1st, I've lost 17 pounds and a total of 20.8 inches from 11 areas. π₯³ 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.9
