I don't know if any of you remember me but I joined this group in August of 2019 (after I had been on MFP for 92 days and had lost 12.4 pounds). Then life happened or I got frustrated or something because I quit logging and weighing (again). That was the 2nd time I used MFP, lost some and quit. May 22 2019 I weighed 276.8 lbs, November 4 2019 I weighed 243.6 lbs then I started gradually gaining. I restarted logging & weighing this time (3rd times the charm, right??) on October 30 2021 weighing 258.6 lbs. Today I weighed in at 248.8 lbs.

Welcome @Americanbabydoll and good luck this time around. As you say, third time's the charm!
I had some modest progress this week:
SW (17/3/21): 96.0kg (BMI 40 - category 3 obese)
LW: 69.6 (BMI 29.0)
CW: 69.2 (BMI 28.8)4 -
Hi @Americanbabydoll. Your original starting points was close to mine (275.6) - and I too am 5'9." I managed to get down to 167 last year, but have been bouncing around in the 170s since then trying to get to 150. Not even sure where I'm at now because I sort of went off the rails with shoulder surgery at the end of October.
Trying hard to find my way back - as you are.
The only thing for certain is we won't reach that goal if we don't keep trying. So we are all on the right track. Hope you stay with us and we can all find our way to our goals!

Good work, Bella! I always convert your weight/loss into pounds - and that is almost a full pound which is pretty darned impressive in my mind. You keep inspiring.2

I'm tri-lingual when it comes to weight! I can think in either kgs, pounds, or stones and pounds.
Kgs is my default after years of working in healthcare, but I wouldn't be English if I didn't also convert kgs to stones and pounds, because that was the currency on which I was raised....and once you can do stones and pounds, it's an easy stretch to convert to just pounds...
It gives me 3 opportunities to celebrate. When I hit a new kg....when I move down into the next half stone bracket...or when I hit a 5 pound point. I always love a good reason to celebrate!4 -
Yeah, I've never understood how some Brits could not convert rocks to plain pounds 😂
I can understand why other peops don't easily convert lbs to rocks and fractions of rocks but not the opposite since really the base increment is still lbs!!! 🤷🏻♂️
And I admit that I still have to look up if it is 12 or 14. Though I'm getting better by telling myself that it's a rock not a foot!😹3 -
We don't have pounds here, but a good thing about them is that they simply give me more milestones to pass and find occasions to celebrate lol...

Sending you hugs and courage.4 -
Laurie, I got on the scales this morning and wish I hadn’t…..if I eat like I have been for 3 more weeks I will blow up….I now weigh more than I did last Jan 1…. What is wrong with me?…I am certainly going to continue losing again in 2022 but I am digging myself a rather large hole to climb out of…ugh4

We've all been in your shoes Connie...I hope you manage to dig yourself out of your pit soon!
And bon courage with the weigh-in Laurie!1 -
lol...I'm not sure I'm going to do it! Connie has scared me
What is wrong with US? Sometimes when I stand back (mentally) and think about it - it makes perfect sense, Connie. Nothing wrong with you, nor I. Our bodies have been "starved" for a few years - and first chance they get - EVERY chance they get - they try to stash away a bit of insurance food/fat. Our bodies are smart and resourceful. They are survivors. I'm starting to understand that part of me, a very deep part, enjoys this little roll that has found its way back to my middle. At the same time I hate it and despise myself for letting this happen, deeper down there is this crazy, guilty pleasure/relief.
I am trying, as of today, to focus on putting food into me. To try and fool my terrified-of-starvation body/mind/hamsters. I'm aiming for 100 g of protein and 4000 potassium. I am eating a hard boiled egg as I type this. I hate hardboiled eggs. But that much freaking protein is hard for me to achieve.
I hope that focussing on trying to get "more" into me will fool my hamsters into relaxing a bit. They will think I'm on their side
Soon you will find your way back to your weight loss groove. Please be kind to yourself in the meantime!

I like the sounds of your hamster handling Laurie!2

I've been to a rodeo or two...maybe I can learn to wrangle these hamster? Eventually!

Hamsters who are in danger of getting smacked hard because of their proclivities!!!
Hamsters similar to the ones I am encouraging to take up head-space residence!
When all else fails... just bring in a bigger tougher and wiser cat and (s)he will do some smacking around!!!
