Lost with MFP over a year ago but back up 10lbs over the past 2 months, time to get back to it. Felt healthy in the high 120’s so aiming for that. Good luck everyone,
Day/Weight/Comment
08/01 -133.4 lbs. - Going to start walking everyday again as well as logging everything. My 10 yr old suggested doing a monthly challenge again, he chose squats this month lol I think he’s secretly trying to kill me....
08/02 132.6 stayed in my calories yesterday and got my steps in. Don’t know why I always dread going for my walks or a workout when I always feel better afterwards... have to try to change my mindset on that one.
08/03 131.2 got my steps, drank lots of water, and stayed in my calorie goal yesterday, keeping up with the squat challenge, my legs are sore!
08/04 132.8 ended up going out and eating salty food and drinking a few beer. Not really over over cals but it shows on the scale.
08/05 133.8 ate over...despite my big walk I ate crappy and didn’t drink my water. Hopefully I can undo the damage before the end of the challenge.

Down to those last 5-7 lbs, they're stubborn.
Day/Weight/Comment:
08/01: 137.6 lbs - well, not the right direction for the start but I'm still feeling good about getting to the round goal of 135.0 lbs. Lots of working out yesterday but I also ate a bunch of crap. Back on track today!
08/02: 136.8 lbs - I've been sort of eating crap the last few days. Sometimes I just need to give in and then get back on the horse. It's out of my system and it stops now.
08/03: 137.4 lbs - Looks like this is my new fluctuating spot for now. Slow and steady, right?
08/04: DNW
08/05: 137.2 lbs - I should be happy since I've been eating horribly for about a week and this number isn't any higher. I "think" TOM is coming, would explain the chocolate and carb cravings. The good news is once I get the eating back where it should be, the weight will start coming off again. And if I don't go up too much during this binge, it'll be a nice drop. Heading out to work out for a couple hours and then will follow that up with a protein shake. Writing it here so I actually do it
. Got my steps in yesterday but that was about it.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/31 …..199.7….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
08/01 …..202.0 ….. The travel left my activity very low, especially while sitting at the movies too. The Lion King was fantastic. Amazingly realistic! As always, a great story. They built a “Golden Corral” in the city we went to. Visited that restaurant once in 2007 while visiting my sister in Tennessee. Ate less than I used to, but all the wrong (carb filled foods). It was an outing for my son & grandsons (2 July birthdays) Depressed with the scale today but raring to go. Back to business. Lots of work at the cabins & grounds today. I will also try to fit in some prep cooking. Yesterdays stats at best calculation: 2602 Calories In / 1951 Calories Out. 158 Total Carbs (I’m not sure what the net carbs would be). 6084 Total Steps & 2.57 Total Miles. No exercise & no activity showing on my fitbit. A whole day of sitting….sitting….sitting…. but I loved spending the time with my family away from home/work.
08/02 …..198.2 ….. Wow! Goodbye water weight! Cabins will be full this weekend. Between now & the 13th is my busiest and most hard-working time of the year! Lots of movement & activity expected so I plan on trying to keep my diet in line with my activity for 100% success! I did a little prep cooking yesterday & I hope to do more today. Yesterday’s stats: 1380 Calories In / 2659 Calories Out. 45 Net Carbs mainly from Spaghetti Squash Lasagna. 15,091 Total Steps & 6.39 Total Miles. 13/13 fitbit steps hours. I slept 5 hours & 50 minutes which was wonderful for me. I took a 54 minute walk, did aggressive yard work for 25 minutes & I rigorously cleaned cabins for 30 minutes. Have a great weekend everyone!
08/03 …..198.2 ….. Holding steady. I was worried it was a fluke yesterday. Out to dinner with my son yesterday. I haven’t had dinner out with him in a couple of years. Just family dinners at home. He lives about an hour away so the visit was last minute but very nice. Yesterdays stats: 1627 Calories In / 2520 Calories Out. 87 Net Carbs which is a bit of an ouchie. 11,009 Total Steps & 4.66 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 45 minutes & woke up tired but starting work early due to a hot water heater going out in Cabin #6. Replaced while they went downriver kayaking / canoeing. Thank Goodness my go-to repair guy was readily available. I did rigorous room cleaning for 68 minutes. Too busy for my evening walk yesterday due to my son’s visit.
08/04 …..198.8 ….. A good day yesterday. I stayed within my macro/carb budget & got lots of movement. The uptick is probably from 2 days ago when I went to dinner with son. Q J is right. It often shows up a couple of days later on the scale. Yesterday’s stats: 1325 Calories In / 3006 Calories Out. 27 Net Carbs of friendly veggies & an Atkins protein & fiber bar. 17,059 Total Steps & 7.22 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours & I slept 4 hours & 20 minutes waking up refreshed & wide awake. I walked for 17 minutes, rigorously cleaned cabins for 68 minutes and I danced for 15 minutes. Sample song “Daydream Believer” by the Monkees. Today will be a busy day with lots of steps. Many cabins to clean & laundry to do. Oh, how I sometimes miss when Sundays were a day of rest!
08/05 …..198.8 ….. Just happy to be holding steady. Too many carbs yesterday on my busy Sunday. Grab & go as I cleaned cabins & not enough water. Returning guest in #6 made me a big breakfast including biscuits & gravy. Today will be busy but not so frenzied. Prepped food thawing for dinner. Yesterday’s stats: 2144 Calories In / 3086 Calories Out. 109 Net Carbs. 20,721 Total Steps & 8.77 total miles. I rigorously cleaned cabins for 98 minutes, did general cabin laundry. Some yard work & yard clean-up. I ended the day with a short 10 minute aerobics session. 13/13 fitbit step hours & I slept 5 hours & 19 minutes totally exhausted. Feel pretty good today. Cabin cleaning, yard work, painting projects in the cabins will keep me busy. I hope to get in a walk this evening in my neighborhood. Have a great week everyone!

08/01 – 163.6 – Had a pretty good day yesterday except for the salt/sweet pecans in the evening which did me in. Today is a planning day – setting priorities for this fall/winter as I look at what needs to get done for us to move in the spring. Should be motivational for weight loss but sometimes that backfires with me. I’ve found setting goals can freak me out and I just head for the metaphorical woods screaming which undermines everything I’m trying to do. Incorporating small habit changes works better but they still need to have some plan/focus.
08/02 – 162.8 – There goes the water weight, now will have to really work to get the next lb gone.
08/03 - 163
08/04 – 163 Weighed yesterday but got a long phone call before I could post and the day just got away on me. Good last couple of days but it will take a few to fight back down from the uptick. Fresh veggies exercises x
08/05 – 162.8 Fresh veggies exercises some LNS but on fruit. Feel so yucky when I first get up in the morning. I think I need to have a whole week of low fat and no snacking after supper to see if that helps.

Back again! Saw 141.7 last round once so I would like to get back down to that this round. Goals are to stay under 145.0 and drop my 10 day average again. I would also like to see a new low, but the last round I dropped 4 pounds and bounced around a lot. So this round I would be happy just to stabilize at 141/142.
Age 39 for another 5 weeks, Height 5' 3.5"
Last couple of rounds stats
Round 82: 146.5 - 146.3 Avg 146.93
Round 83: 146.3 - 145.9 Avg 146.72
Round 84: 145.9 - 143.7 Avg 144.28
08/01- 143.7 still holding onto Tuesday nights date night. Was hoping I would drop, but still hanging out here. Was on track all day yesterday and so far today I have been good. I have dinner planned tonight and we will be watching the first football game of the season, so should be relaxing for the most part.
08/02- 142.2 this is more where I thought I should have been the last couple of days. My 5 day average is the lowest it has been and maybe I will hit a new low tomorrow on my "official weigh in day". Last Saturday I weighed in at 141.7, so we will see what it says tomorrow. Dinner is in the crock pot and planned and so far today I have been on track. Took my daughter (my middle child) to go and register for her senior year of high school and get her schedule. Can't believe I will have another one graduating this year.
08/03- 142.2 way to many beers last night again. I have to get it together. I have done that twice now this week. I pretty much drank my calories last night, which is not doing anything for my weight loss. Had a good time, but isn’t going to help me lose these last couple of pounds and get into the 130’s. Water, water, no alcohol, and eat right today and maybe I will see a drop by Monday.
08/04- 142.2 Holding steady. Going to see Hobbs and Shaw with the hubby today and probably grab some lunch. We have to do a couple of maintenance things around the house this morning and buy a new lawn mower. So hopefully I can stay on tack and start getting it together.
08/05- 144.6 did not keep it together at all yesterday. Food was spot on, but had a couple of drinks at the movies and then a couple of more at dinner after the movies. I think I am replacing liquor with food. I am trying really hard not to snack and instead I am noticing I am drinking more. We did not buy popcorn or candy while at the movies because I didn't want the extra calories, but instead ended up drinking my beers faster and having more than normal. So this week I am going to have to switch something up.

Round 85 Goals:
- Practice push-ups every day. I want to be able to do at least 5 on my toes without stopping by the end of August.
- 3 tumblers of water at work/day, 3 workouts/week, and 3 times walking around the neighborhood.
- Nearly every night I have a little sweet snack after we put the kid to bed...it usually fits into my calories, but I'm wondering if I really need it or if it's just a habit. I want to try to not have a late night sweet 5/10 days this round.
Day / Weight / Comment
08/01 - 146.8 I seem to have a very special ability to get a nice low weight on the first day of a round, so that it's hard to compare back to at the end!
But I jest, I'm not complaining about any loss. Especially because yesterday I gave into those fast food cravings for lunch - but also made time for two back-to-back classes at the gym (a kettlebell/HIIT style class and a tough kickboxing class), tracked all the food and had a reasonable dinner, so it didn't throw off all my progress. Also, besides a couple of lunches out with coworkers, this is the first time I've bought food for lunch since May!
Now that we're in a new month, I'm done with the distractions of July and setting my sights on our beach trip at the end of the month. It was on our Labor Day beach trip last year that I realized how uncomfortable I felt in my body and that I wanted to make changes. So I'm very excited for the changes I've already made, and for the progress I know I can make in the next month. And that starts with this round!
08/02 - 145.6 Well that's 3 Fridays in a row seeing a 145 on the scale! The last two weeks I've gone up over the weekend, so I'm determined not to let that happen this time! Yesterday was good: I had a lot of water, ate soup for lunch and walked to some stores instead of driving, and I made a salad for dinner and packed another serving for my lunch today. I completed 8 continuous inclined pushups on my desk at work, and also a few at home on the kitchen counter. Also no late night dessert!
08/03 - 143.6 Well. Well. What.
What.
I checked like 6 times to make sure this wasn’t a mistake! I doubt it’ll stick around, but a pretty good feeling to know something was working “behind the scenes” even when I didn’t see that on the scale every day. Yesterday was actually closer to maintenance calories than deficit, so I wasn’t expecting this at all!
08/04 - 144.2
08/05 - 146.0 Well I guess I felt like I had some extra room to eat after that big drop on Saturday morning, so my weekend wasn't quite as on point as I wanted it to be, but still happy with where I am this morning! And I did some prep to set myself up for success this week: salad lunches packed, water bottles filled, going to the gym tonight and healthy dinners prepped. I'm going out of town Thursday evening, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to weigh in on the last 2 days, so I'd like to hit my goals before then!

1: DNW Was in a hurry to get out the door this morning, and we're out of town until tomorrow night. I did ok with food today. I have a huge deficit because we did a lot of walking, but my carbs were high. I've got plans for a Jucy Lucy tomorrow, so I've got plan my day around that. Lots of walking again though!
2: DNW Out of town. Getting ready to take a nice long walk around one of the many lakes in Minneapolis. Food is planned out for the day with some wiggle room even before Fitbit gives me an extra calorie allowance.

08/03 387.6
08/04 392.4
08/05 393.4 - Well the last 10-day challenge, I thought I had lost over 12 pounds and boy was I dead wrong!! I guess I wanted to be fooled. 😂 I knew I was not doing that great. But my scale said I was losing weight. So silly me even though I was eating fast food, too many points, etc. I thought those 7000 steps was making a difference. Deep down I knew it was unbelievable and too good to be true. But when you want to believe the unbelievable you go with it! So Saturday when I went to weigh in 🙄 the fantasy was over! Instead of the 12 lbs I thought I lost, it was really a 3.4 gain. So I told the lady that can't be right. So she said get on the scale again and of course the weight was the same. So I knew I had let myself be fooled. Because I knew their scale was not wrong and mines was. so, the lady felt bad for me and she said you probably need to change the battery in your scale. So I felt deflated, mad at myself, so many emotions.
But I did not have time to wallow because the cleaning man was coming over to help with phase 2 of my de-clutter program! Success. This lifted my spirits because I know this project is a win win and will help me with my weight goals. He put all the cloths from my Mom in piles. He organized everything. I could see my floor in my living room. We threw away stuff. I threw away some more stuff on Sunday. I have 2 more bags to throw in the garbage chute. I plan to do a bag every other day. I had to clean out my closet some in order to hang up my clothes I am keeping. It was uplifting and I have the cleaning bug now and I am loving it. It was over whelming at 1st but now with 2 visits under my belt from cleaning services I can do some things myself. Eventually I am going to do some remodeling etc. This is going to my gift to me a makeover for my condo, so I have a peace, organized place to want to come home to in the evenings. I am cutting the TV off and limiting computer time too.
So this week I'm going to really get back on track eating too. And I did change the batteries and went back to my trusty app to see where the wonky weight lost numbers started and deleted them. I re-adjusted the last 10-day challenge to 2 lbs lost. I started this challenge with my weight after I had changed the batteries which showed the 3.2 gain. It is never exact with WW but always close. I am good now. I have dusted off my fanny and ready to keep on going forward. Setbacks are normal. Once again shows me why I need a human check in because I can get into self-denial and my own worst enemy.

My journey … ("I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!")In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbsMy highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us. :flowerforyou: SW 373.4 - 1/3/19 GW 299 - 12/31/19 :flowerforyou:

Day/Weight/Comment
08/01: 202.8 . First day ever doing this, tracked all my food, and was under calories by a lot. So far, so good. Getting comfortable with it slowly but surely.
08/02: 202.0 even with the struggle of hanging out watching the dodger game. Limiting myself to only a few lower calorie beers. Few chips and salsa. And nothing else, I was able to stay under my calorie count by a small amount. Really only because I worked out hard enough before so I could have those yummy things.
08/03: 201.6. Going in the right direction. Stayed under my calories for the day. Had a great workout. Got all my water in plus some. Getting into a rhythm to get me where I want to be. Yay!!
08/04: 202.8. OOPPSS WRONG WAY! didn’t have a strong day yesterday. Had a girls day and enjoyed myself. Today is a new day and back on track. I’m going to get rid of that pound I gained and some!
08/05: 202.4. Not what I wanted or expected. I know I have a lot of water weight going on. Had a great day yesterday with exercise. Plenty of water. And stayed under my calories. This heat has me retaining water. Or at least that’s what I’ll keep telling myself.

08/01 - 238.2 - minus a pound from yesterday and feeling good about this round! Pretty decent on eating (went to happy hour with some colleagues last night and had a couple of glasses of wine) and continuing today, really want to stay under my calorie goal.
08/02 - 238.6 - I don’t even know 🤷🏾♀️ will do an at home workout today; planned my meals for the day... just going to keep trying to make each day as good as or better than the one before... can’t give up.
08/03 - 235.7 - yay movement!! Heading to the gym then out and about. Making it my mission to stick to the plan this weekend!
08/04 - 235.3 - stayed down! Don’t expect any negative movement tomorrow due to lazy weekend with some cheats thrown in.
08/05 - 236.3 - expected a bounce off of the weekend; not going to lose my mind over it (trying not to!!!!!!!); Did not make it to the gym yesterday but DO plan on doing an at-home workout and will hit the gym in the morning before work! If I can end this 10-days under 235 I will be soooo happy!
