@UTMom81 Just a side note - I see you have hummus on your list. A couple of years ago DD#2 didn’t understand why she wasn’t losing. My DSIL used to make hummus for her lunch UNTIL she realized how many carbs were in it. She would eat it all with carrots for lunch.

Comments pertain to previous day
SW RND 290 135.0
3/12 135.0 Yesterday did 40 minutes at the gym OMAD - In-n-Out - 4 or 5 small super crisp fries (YUM!) and a Double Double Protein style, no spread, light lettuce and onion. No TMI x 2
3/13 136.0 Yesterday we had 2 guys from the ‘hood put up ceiling fans with lights. My sewing room previously had no light so I’m hoping this will breathe new life into my sewing spirit. In the afternoon I took the batteries for my Vivofit 4 to the jeweler (microscopic screws - worth having him do it) and then got a manicure. I had a headache and skipped the board meeting. Apologies for the longish post - this is my diary.
3/14 135.5 DH and neighbor guy went to Golden Corral for lun-ner. I had a beef patty (Sam’s) and a serving of broccoli with butter. If my dad was still around, this would be his 120th birthday. Hard to believe he’s been gone 32 years.
3/15 135.0 Great Greek today.
3/16 134.5 Getting together with my quilting friends this morning.

3/20 -Thanks @Skyleen75! I don't really believe my current weight, although it is always nice to see the scale go down. I'm expecting a pop up or bouncing around the same weight for a week. I do like my new dress but can't really wear it until it gets warmer and less windy (stupid spring winds). Almost bought a new pair of jeans today, but they didn't have the the length I needed (long) in the style I wanted (not skinny). It was nice to see jeans that fit my current body though.

03/15-191.0- (Trend Weight): 194.9- Wow, was I EVER in self-sabotage mode last night! Luckily I had plenty of calories and some carbs left after my meals for snacks but this went BEYOND overboard. I KNOW I must have been way above my pre-logged allowances. I’m shocked at the drop on the scale and can only attribute the drop to finally having TMI which I’d missed for 2 days. We will see what the scale says tomorrow as this lower number may not last. I’m planning a good day today. The only battle I anticipate today is with myself and that won’t be until late tonight. I just gotta get thru. T-Minus 4.8 lbs with 5.2 to go on my birthday goal.
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 03/16-191.4- (Trend Weight: 194.6) A bit of an increase on the scale without apparent reason. Yesterday went well although there was not much movement and no exercise. Everything else was in line and the meals and snacks were in line with my goals. I guess I’ll just call it a market correction.

Fell off the challenge bandwagon in round 256, managed to keep losing weight until June 12th when I hit 155.9 (70.7 kg). I fell off the weight loss wagon shortly after. Decided to start back up the day before Round 278 started.

3/15- 142.6 (64.7 kg) I've used being tired and feeling worn down as an excuse to slip on my tracking (not tracking as I go) as well as missing the first three days of this round. I had two parties I attended today and went about 1050 calories over goal and about 650 over maintenance once I totalled everything up. I need to turn this ship around. Taking a few quiet minutes to post and read everyone else's posts is important. I think I do better when I'm part of a community of people supporting each other, all with their own successes, struggles, strategies and goals. Thank you all for being that community.
3/16- 144 (65.3 kg) 8 hours of shopping for a cheap dress for mom prom with a friend. I found a $9 dress, but man am I worn out. Haven't shopped like that in years.

Starting this round on a mini break in Rome, Thanks @quiltingjaine for keeping us going.
SW 289 141.8
3/12 DNW - a hectic 1st full day in Rome, it really to walk across to Vatican City, a tour of St. Peter's Basilica including a climb up 550 steps to the top of the dome. In the afternoon we visited the Cistern Chapel & Vatican museums. A mind blowing day with the grandeur & amazing paintings. A tiring but satisfying 15.5 miles, 36.5K steps.
3/13 DNW - 9.76 miles walked, a less hectic day, the Colosseum in the morning followed by a rainy afternoon on & around Palatino Hill.
3/14 DNW - a very leisurely 14.56 miles walked yesterday, taking in The Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Victor Emmanuel monument, S. Pietro in Vincoli, Piazza Navona, Santa Maria Maggiore, Circus Maximus, a stroll along the river and the last gaze at the Colosseum. An amazing last day. No gelato; it was not warm enough! But luckily it stayed dry 😁.
3/15 140.4 - (trend 141) wow! never returned from a holiday with a loss ever before!! Now to keep it.
3/16 139.8 – (trend 140.9) thrilled at that! Hoping yesterdays was not a false low, but amazed to go down again, gives me a real buzz!! 7.31 miles walked.
3/17 139.2 – (trend 140.6) 5.08 miles walked or should I say some was jogged next to little DGSs.

Good Morn! 🙋🏼♀️👋🏻I’m spying on all of you! I’m joining back full speed tomorrow… lots of terrific energy this round!
3/16 132.0 this morning. Not bad considering I haven’t moved for almost a month. The scale does not reflect how sluggish I feel. Keeping a routine is vitally important to mind, body, soul and I re-commit 100% to getting back to all that nourishes me. Benefits far outweigh the alternative. Today = 🚶♀️10K & 💓Z2 60 min.
3/16 132.0 🙆♀️🚶♀️💓💦🏆
3/17 131.6 mind, body, soul - moving in right direction I compare the last 5-6 weeks to “exams“ window while many of us were in college… The world stops (it did for me)… Strange, strange sleep, eating patterns strange everything.The fight is not over yet. We’re working on one more appeal, but I am focused on making sure I take care of myself each day. I’ve made some nice friends during this process and strengthened several- a great thing! I was able to make macro /🥩goal as well as 10k 🚶♀️💦 yesterday. I’m looking forward to another balanced, ENGAGED day. NSV: I was able to track my food each day! I guess the major reason why I didn’t fall off the rails… Nutrition was always on my mind. And I’m now tracking my daily habits again. It’s good to be back. BTW: I have not figured out this new formatting situation and not sure how I will “present” my journey… I need more time to do that.🏋️♀️still on back burner (the most important) but to implement this week. Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone!🍀🍀🍀

@quiltingjaine Thanks for the heads up on the carbs in hummus. I only eat 2 ounces at a time, but I did think it was more protein/less carbs than it has.

3/13 150.4 Spent the day in the Smoky Mountains (my happy place) with hubby and DGD. Had a picnic and got in a little trail walking. Food was much more in control yesterday, and it shows. Hit my protein goal for the first time in a while and carbs were within range. 11,572 steps. 📝 👣 🌟🥩
3/14 151.2 Not enough protein yesterday and too much salt. Took both grandkids to the zoo, so got in lots of activity although no real exercise. 10,366 steps. 📝 👣 🌟
3/15 152.2 Up way too early today. Worked in my gardens all day long yesterday expanding flower beds, amending soil, etc. so got in my 10k steps and strength training in my yard. Very high protein day and carbs were well within range, so this uptick is a surprise. 10,676 steps. 📝 🥩 🏋🏼♀️ 🌟
3/16 150.8 That’s better. Lots of rain and storms yesterday. Did better with nutrition but not enough protein to earn the steak emoji. What are some of your high protein snack ideas or lunch menus? Anyone care to share? I don't use protein powders and I guess I'm getting tired of my go-to yogurt, cottage cheese, hummus, etc. 6186 steps. 📝 👣
3/17 150.6 Lots of working in the gardens (lifting, carrying bags of compost, etc.) yesterday and a neighborhood walk. Not enough protein overall, but a healthy nutrition day. 10,550 steps 📝 🏋🏼♀️ 👣 🌟

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 290
March 12 – 21, 2025
SW: 135.6
3/12 – 135.6 Well I did not finish round 289 with the number that I wanted, though I saw it for two days prior. Then I did my mini binge (worthy ½ lb max) with lots of salt. Was hoping to come down quickly yesterday, but last night was out to eat. Calories (according to my tracking) were excellent. I am hoping/thinking I am still fighting with sodium. Today’s new variable will be that I am back to the gym and next session with the trainer. Was unable to find any of that “me” time during our family time together, but totally worth the trade off. My hope for this round is to clear the sodium, keep calories on track, be consistent with exercise, and I am hoping to not only get back to the 134.6, but to pass it and MAYBE see a “3” instead of that “4”. Let’s see.
3/13 – 135.0 Five mile walk, and hour with personal trainer. I discussed with her how I think I am jumping in too quickly and risking injury, based on all the pains I am having. At the end, we shortened our time to do stretching. Wow! We discovered I have some real tightness issues. Interestingly, when I got home, some of those pains were gone. The stretching is key. Feeling some aches return this morning, so I likely should try some stretching today.
3/14 – 134.6 Yay! Back to my number from the 10th and 11th. Now to continue. I was good with diary yesterday, but chose to skip my morning walk (still have not gotten condo back together since guests) and was not a gym day. Today, I hope/plan to accomplish both. Hubby has been taken kite fishing for sailfish today, THEN we are heading to hear a band in the evening. Probably means I am facing a cocktail (will stick to my gin and tonic, or a white wine), and food (likely stick with my seared tuna tataki safety net). Need to keep this in mind for the first part of the day.
3/15 – 134.4 Made it through the day yesterday! Walk got altered and ended up only 4 miles, but it was a fun walk. Got home and was to go to the gym, but decided to deal with cancelation of utilities on my mother’s property that is being sold on Tuesday. Glad I did as it was more time consuming than I expected and really had to happen before the weekend. I pretracked my evening, and used my calories accordingly during the day. IN the evening, my gin and tonic became an on-the-rocks margarita, which I only drank half due to its size. I had my tuna. Appetizers somehow got ordered for the table. I ate two shrimp and one cheese curd to be social. Seems to have worked out! Today has the potential for being normal!
3/16 – 134.2 A bit of a gift. I got somewhat off track last evening after dinner, and I anticipated a .2 or .4 up. But I did accumulate more steps than usual (according to my apple devices), so maybe it was an even trade. Skipping my morning walk today in order to free up equivalent time to get to the gym. Doing both costs me about 3.5 hours that day, and that is not working out.
3/17 – 134.2 skipped the walk but did the gym, 10 min warm up on the threadmill followed by an hour with equipment. Diet was good but slightly over. Can I get to that "3"?

3/11/25 : 229.8 SW a day before.
3/12: 229.4
Dropped some weight even with some little failures along the way yesterday. I do remember specifically making some wise decisions when faced with a dilemma. What was the dilemma? (A.) Do I want to do that because I LOVE it and it would make me feel good right now from head to toe? Or (B.) Do I say no to it so I will feel better later from head to toe in a much better way?Just think what I (we) could do with FULL discipline for delayed gratification. It’s hard.
3/13: 228.8
Cautiously optimistic. I was better about choosing fruit and veggies yesterday.I just saw the email preview of today’s Rotary menu. Chicken Alfredo and bread sticks. Give me a break! Right now I am pre-logging the lettuce salad ONLY with no pasta and no dessert.
3/14: 229.4
I avoided the Alfredo at Rotary! And they had steamed broccoli and cauliflower. Had a couple snaccidents at home, but no biggies. The weather is so fantastic I took a 16+ mile bike ride. I am surprised how good the workout is on an eBike. No matter how much help I get, I can still push it til it hurts. Wind and hills still make a difference. I make a big sail in the wind. HA!Today’s challenge will be supper tonight. DW’s cousin coming for the weekend, not so much to see us but to have a place to stay while visiting her dad in the nursing home. (their farmstead is sold.) She is “repaying” us by taking us out for dinner tonight. Must. Avoid. The. French. Fries!
3/15: 230.4
Even though this is a bump up, I consider yesterday a victory overall. I rode 20+ miles on bike and took a bit of a strenuous hike later with DS and DGS in the woods. (we were kind lost for a while…exciting) The gain was because of eating. DS brought a between-meal snack to the hike and the restaurant last night had a special. Smoked Corned Beef and Cabbage. Had to try it.3/16: 228.6
I need to kiss the “3” goodbye as my 2nd number. It is too depressing to see it popping up all the time. I am sure it will rear its ugly head for a while, but I am aiming for the “3” becoming a “1.” (then a zero, if I may be so bold?)3/17: 227.8
Church all morning + funeral all afternoon = no real movement. So, I am happy for the drop. Probably getting benefits from all the moving I did last week with the warm weather.NSV, I am starting to chip away at some mid section flab. DW says my face is showing signs of progress too. I will use this to motivate me to greater things.

We’ve just returned from a two-week ski and sight-see trip to the south-east of France where cheese and potatoes dishes are and a large part of the delicious alpine cuisine. Oh, and don’t forget the wine. It was all wonderful but now I’m ready to lighten up my dietary life.
@shetlandmama - Wow! Congrats to you being down 100 pounds!!!

03/15-191.0- (Trend Weight): 194.9-
03/16-191.4- (Trend Weight: 194.6) A bit of an increase on the scale without apparent reason. Yesterday went well although there was not much movement and no exercise. Everything else was in line and the meals and snacks were in line with my goals. I guess I’ll just call it a market correction. T-Minus 4.4 lbs with 5.6 to go on my birthday goal by May 10th.
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 03/17-192.2- (Trend Weight: 194.3) What in the heck is going on already? Another jump on the scale! 2 days in a row higher and both days I was in perfect numbers with calories and carbs! TMI good today. The only thing I can think of is that I got a brand new PC due to my Windows being outdated and not supported starting Oct 2025. I am sitting A LOT of sitting as I reorganize everything that was moved by memory stick from my old computer. Lack of movement and probably lack of water makes more difference than I even realized perhaps! Travel today for 6 month eye re-check with specialist after finding some serious things last fall. Long trip so there will be lots of sitting and restaurant food. I didn’t need this unexpected increase on the scale today! Happy St. Patrick’s day everyone!

I'm having a lot of ups and downs on the scale, which I am just attributing to the muscle building up, because I am definitely coming in under the calorie goals. Considering I started exactly 8 days ago and weighed 160, I'm really happy with a ~157 weight; that is 3 lbs in a week of a lot of work and grind. I didn't miss a day with logging either. I'm just going to keep trying to build the habits this week, it'll be a little less new so a little less exciting - will need to find ways to keep the spark going.

@deepwoodslady Donna, go back farther than the last 2 days. I believe you said something on the 14th or 15th that may help you understand the increase.

SW RND 290 135.0
3/12 135.0 Yesterday did 40 minutes at the gym OMAD - In-n-Out - 4 or 5 small super crisp fries (YUM!) and a Double Double Protein style, no spread, light lettuce and onion. No TMI x 2
3/13 136.0 Yesterday we had 2 guys from the ‘hood put up ceiling fans with lights. My sewing room previously had no light so I’m hoping this will breathe new life into my sewing spirit. In the afternoon I took the batteries for my Vivofit 4 to the jeweler (microscopic screws - worth having him do it) and then got a manicure. I had a headache and skipped the board meeting. Apologies for the longish post - this is my diary.
3/14 135.5 DH and neighbor guy went to Golden Corral for lun-ner. I had a beef patty (Sam’s) and a serving of broccoli with butter. If my dad was still around, this would be his 120th birthday. Hard to believe he’s been gone 32 years.
3/15 135.0 Great Greek today.
3/16 134.5 Getting together with my quilting friends this morning.
3/17 135.0 Mimosas with the ladies yesterday morning. I wish TMI would happen before weighing although I’m happy to be going daily! YAY PRUNES!2 -
