Kathi7501 Monday 220.0

Ok. Stuck to the plan with a breakfast casserole, portion control with family tradition sweets, healthy foods filling out the day and mostly regular exercise. His is the first time in my adult life I haven’t gained about 20 pounds over the holidays without the “help” of a super strict meal-replacement plan. Just real food,…

That plateau held me down for a bit, but I'm so happy to have broken through it. I'm calling this past week a win -- and the ultimate preparation for this coming week. I've got my plan in place for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, including just enough of my favorite holiday tradition/treat. I've got this. This will be the…

Missed checking in yesterday, but happy to report I'm going down again. Yay! Swapping oatmeal for eggs for breakfast and getting 15-30 minutes on the elliptical are making all the difference. Biggest challenge this week: Find a breakfast that is both special for dear hubby and me, yet something I can fit into my eating…

Finally broke the 222 barrier!!! Ok, gotta keep it going now. Week 1 Loss: 2.3 Week 2 Loss: 0.5 Week 3 Loss: 0 Total Loss: 2.8 Week 4 Goal: 221 December 17: 223.8 December 18: 224.2 December 19: 223.0 December 20: 221.8 December 21: December 22: December 23:

OK. Starting to go back in the right direction. More elliptical!! (Like more cowbell, but not quite as loud.) Week 1 Loss: 2.3 Week 2 Loss: 0.5 Week 3 Loss: 0 Total Loss: 2.8 Week 4 Goal: 221 December 17: 223.8 December 18: 224.2 December 19: 223.0 December 20: December 21: December 22: December 23:

I've got nothing. Just keep planning, elliptical-ing, weighing, measuring, logging and trusting that sooner or later it'll work out. Week 1 Loss: 2.3 Week 2 Loss: 0.5 Week 3 Loss: 0 Total Loss: 2.8 Week 4 Goal: 221 December 17: 223.8 December 18: 224.2 December 19: December 20: December 21: December 22: December 23:

Went up again with no clear reason why, but I met with my nutritionist and she offered some good ideas. First, she said not to drop my calories any lower, but rather stay between 1400 and 1200, which provides me some nice flexibility. She also recommended I switch up my breakfast to be protein-based instead of the 1/2 c.…

Dang it. So close to nailing my goal this week. And honestly, although it sounds like an excuse, it has to be sodium even though that isn't showing up on my diary as being an issue. We went to a holiday gathering at the in-laws yesterday. I made and brought a cake so that I would be able to have some sort of treat and know…

Ever so slowly ........... Week 2 Goal: 223 December 3: 223.8 December 4: 225.2 December 5: 224.6 December 6: 224.2 December 7: 223.2 December 8: 222.2 December 9: 223.0 Week 1 Loss: 0 Total Loss: 2.3 Week 3 Goal: 222 December 10: 224.2 December 11: 222.4 December 12: 222.2 December 13: 222.8 December 14: December 15:…

Hmmm. Well, at least this bounce seems to have been short-lived. I'd love to move downward again tomorrow. Big bright shiny spot though is that I am managing to dodge all the garbage food in the office and stick to just what I bring from home -- and even managing to stay on track when my dear husband keeps wanting to eat…

Missed posting yesterday, but no surprises there. There shalt be no good loss without an equally notable bounceback. At least this time it was a little bounce and I seem to be back on track. Week 2 Goal: 223 December 3: 223.8 December 4: 225.2 December 5: 224.6 December 6: 224.2 December 7: 223.2 December 8: 222.2 December…

I completely relate, Mitch! My body does that too and it drives me bonkers. It helps knowing this is just how it works, but will never entirely take away the frustration when I’m in the middle of one of them. Yay for hanging in there!!!!

Well, progress is progress, I guess. Gotta keep at it. I know it'll work if I don't give up. Week 1 Goal: 224 November 25: 225.80 November 26: 225.2 November 27: 227.8 November 28: 226.2 November 29: 225.6 November 30: 225.0 December 1: 223.6 December 2: 223.5 Week 1 Loss: 2.3 Total loss: 2.3 Week 2 Goal: 223 December 3:…

I'm sure stress and lack of good sleep are starting to have an impact. Sigh. Gotta keep at it...

Huh. No idea what happened here. Sodium has been where it belongs, macros and calories on the mark, too. I worked out pretty hard on Monday night, but I don't feel sore enough to think I'm still retaining water on that now. Even drank 84 ounces of water yesterday. Weird stuff happens. Just gonna keep at it and trust that…

My weight tends to do this, too. I'll get stuck for a long time, kinda drift down a little bit and pop back up again for several days. If I keep at it, though, eventually it'll settle in or even drop lower. It's super frustrating, but it helps knowing that's just what my body does. Hang in there!!

I like your way of displaying progress, cachoey, so I'm going to follow suit. Much easier to follow. Nice job everyone on enjoying the holiday week and making your choices -- whatever they were -- work! :-) Week 1 Goal: 224 November 25: 225.80 November 26: 225.2 November 27: 227.8 November 28: 226.2 November 29: 225.6…

Very pleased with my Week 1 progress.

Not bad. Still going to take a bit of work to reach my 12/2 goal, but I'm up for it. November 25: 225.8 November 26: 225.2 November 27: 227.8 November 28: 226.2 November 29: 225.6 November 30: December 1: December 2: Goal for 1st week: 224

Quick check-in: Nov. 28: 226.2 Held to my plan and got in 48 ounces of water. And I thoroughly enjoyed the day. Yay!! Happy Thanksgiving all!!

Up a bit today, but it's not an issue. Met with my new trainer for the first time last night and I'm sore, so I might have some excess fluids in my achy muscles. More likely, though, it's the half a vegan burrito I had last night. No chips and no margarita, fully within my calories and on target with the macros, but I'm…

I love it! Count me in.

That's so fantastic! Really happy for you that you're finally seeing the results of all the good habits you've been working toward. I'm on the tail end of two really bad years that included the death of my mother, two surgeries, two other procedures, pneumonia and other infections/injuries that have severely dampened my…

Hi! Vegan here, too. About six or seven years now?? Anyway, feel free to friend me.

Love it. No idea how accurate the calorie counts are and it doesn't seem to track me well on floor exercises bit it gets better at tracking the more you use it. I do know I workout really hard when I use it, it's fun and I see results. Definitely works for me. Good luck!

Yay Day 3!! Me too!
