April's challenge: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10912446/active-april-challenge-2024/p1?new=1

March SW: 205.4 March GW: 201 Starting off with a tweaked lower back. :eyeroll: bleh Anyway, working on the mindfulness and slowing down the shovelling. Trying to pay more attention. Here we go!

ok. Ending this month doing better with the exercise until I tweaked my back yesterday. UGH. So resting yesterday and today through the weekend to let it heal so I can get back to work. My dummy scale has finally settled back down to 205.4. For now. Onward and downward, I hope

Yeah the dismissiveness is really aggravating. I gained 40lbs in 6 months. Labs look fine, so "oh well" you're just descending into dumpy, swamp-hag in accordance with the prophecy, too bad. :rage: My change to a few bad habits explains half-that. The rest is... a case of "the old heifer". *epiceyeroll*

Sorry I haven't been posting. I've been keeping on top of my exercise, but I had a dental thing last week, and I'm still not recovered enough to eat certain things so I eat what I can and most of it isn't low-carb. Looking forward to being able to eat meat and veg soon. This is so frustrating. :rage: :cry: Anyway,…

Feb 1: CW: 207 ( :rage: ) Planned ahead? :+1: Stayed under carbs: :+1: Stayed under calories: :+1: Logged and measured: :+1: Exercise day: 1/5 :+1: Pivoted like a mboss: :+1:

My goals for this month: * Planning ahead!!! * Staying under carbs * Staying under calories * Logging and measuring * Getting in exercise/movement 5 days a week * Pivoting like a mf when the saboteur strikes Let's GOOOOOO! Already had to exercise the last one. Blew my prelog for this morning out of the water. Have to…

well basically it looks like that even though I was down to 205 at one point, I bounced back up cutting my loss from 3.4 lb to 1.4. Nice...thanks, scale. However, I kept away from the booze and got my exercise routine back to where it belongs. So there's that. Focusing on prelogging the night before and sticking with…

Same. I don't know what is wrong with me, but it's like a temporary insanity hits me. I know I don't need it, but then I get into my head that I should get into the christmas candy and chips. I think for me it's perimenopause. A sudden, out-sized revival of appetite and cravings (mostly of the mental variety.) And later I…

If you are low enough carb to be close to ketosis, assume you are low and add some. The process of ketosis causes extra excretion so that you have less available on hand. You'll get what they call keto flu. Which is just symptoms of electrolyte imbalance, nausea, fatigue, muscle cramping. Here's a link to a bit of an…

Next month's challenge: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10908541/love-your-health-february-2024-challenge/p1?new=1 See you there

weight still up. So it's looking like I'm doing my plateau crap already. It's fine. Keep Calm, Low-Carb On. It has to go sometime. I ran across this gal awhile ago. She really tends to simplify weight loss and tackle the psychology and habits behind overeating. Caveats: she has a potty mouth, which isn't an issue for me…

Weight is doing a bouncy on me. Up to 206.6 Granted I have been doing weights, and I have been sore. Still behaving as best I can. Still not sleeping great. so that accounts for the uptick. I just have to keep on keeping on and wait it out. Fingers crossed it drops so I can meet my monthly goal. Won't be the end of the…

AYYYYYY! Hey there! Yeah I'm still around. Glad to see you back. Taking care of ourselves can be difficult. I know for me, accountability help and support is the only thing that keeps me on task and on track. Sometimes it's so hard to focus on self-care with all the life noise. Which brings me to my apology for being MIA…

I'm here, just busy and distracted as usual. 1/04- 1/05 Deets: * Logged * Hit cal goal * Hit carb goal * Did planned exercise: 1hr 20 min each day of strength and walk vid cardio 1/06: On plan which was off plan. Tried to keep stuff reasonable and failed. But didn't touch any booze so it's a win and I'm making plans to…

Sorry I'm late. My life is bananas. (Which aren't keto but are vegan :wink: :joy: ) Check out Healthful Pursuits if you haven't. She has vegan keto recipes on her page. https://www.healthfulpursuit.com/roundup/keto-vegan-vegetarian-recipes/

1/03 Deets: * Logged * Hit cal goal * Hit carb goal * Did planned exercise: 1 hr 20 min of Sansone "walk" videos (it's basically really more like low-mod impact aerobics) SW: 208.6 CW: 206.4 GW for January: 204

Wednesday 1/03: I'm late because everything always goes sideways. But though I didn't log, I did okish yesterday. It was very stressful, since my spouse has decided to become a very stressful person, and I drove by 3 liquor stores yesterday and didn't stop at any. Didn't get to exercise yesterday. And during my window I…

It's time. Past time, for me to take my life back. I'm getting chunky. I have a problem with alcohol and snacking. Time to stop putting my head in the sand. My birthday is tomorrow, but I'll be here, logging and nose to the grindstone, Jan 2nd.

I have been sick twice in the last 2 weeks. :rage: Coming out the other end of a hateful megacold right now. New year, new challenge: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10906112/jumpstart-january-challenge-2024/p1?new=1 Join me!

I'm trying very hard. Hitting the workouts. My weight has gone up again a pound or so, but I'm also a bit sore. So I'm going to assume it is water weight. Onward.

Great workout yesterday. Another in the queue for today which I am looking forward to! It's become increasingly apparent that I can't lose weight unless I'm doing strict keto. No it isn't magic, but it does kill cravings that set me off the rails. So after the first of the year, I'm going to be doing that for myself. But…

aw that sucks. Yeah def just rest that ribcage completely. Straining it too soon will just prolong the recovery time and increase the chance of another injury. It's excruciating to feel like you're just standing still with your fitness. I have been there. But it's better in the long run to let that heal. You'll bounce back…

I'm so sorry you're still having so much trouble. :cry: Web hugs to you. Take care of yourself and hopefully you'll be well enough to join us soon. :heart:

okie dokie. Not a great weekend but better. Better is better! Today a kick-a** workout is in the queue. Let's do this!

My life is a ****show right now. But I am DETERMINED to maintain and to build muscle. And so I shall. Hopefully January will chill out so I can lose. But time will pass anyway. And I'd rather pursue what progress is realistic for me considering my challenges than beat myself up over what I can't do right now. And here we…

yeah. Well I have come to the realization that under current conditions, I'm not going to lose a thing. Hubs is going through things, which is sabotaging me. And is also hard to deal with, so STRESS. However, I didn't gain any more. I've increased weights workouts. And so until the first of the year I am DETERMINED to…

My last weekend was sabotaged and atrocious. I have gotten into a good little logging routine since Monday though. Still keeping up with workouts as best I can. Still planning on having a little of the foods I really want tomorrow and no more thanksgiving foods after. Girding myself to make my weekend better. Whatever it…
