Day/Weight/Comment
01/02 - 187.5 Having been out of country for almost a month and totally off plan, I came back and was actually down to 181. This last two holiday weeks I've been eating with abandon so I'm not surprised at what is likely this water retention hike (plus a few lbs?) I'm hoping/ expecting this to fall quickly. Good to be back!!

@fmfdfa2020 @quiltingjaine Thank you both. She's adorable and perfectly behaved (for a 2-year-old). I took that pic in my office and thought - who is this woman. I didn't recognize myself. Weight loss is a strange thing but I love it.
On another note, I just purchased and pocket scale to bring to work to weigh things out. I'm so excited though I worry it's too obsessive. Does anyone else use a "pocket" scale for travel?3 -

12/28 …..194.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/29 …..190.4 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1156 Calories In / 2432 Calories Out. 12 Net Carbs. 12,362 Total Steps & 5.23 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 14 minutes. I walked at about 3.0 mph for 18 minutes burning 90 calories. It’s a start! Good luck everyone on the monumental 100th round!
12/30 …..190.4 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 998 Calories In / 2236 Calories out. 58 Net Carbs. 8497 Steps & 3.6 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept for 6 hours & 21 minutes. Getting over 5 hours of sleep per night has been a nice trend throughout the last couple of weeks.
12/31 …..191.2 ….. Dang it, Dang it! I had a perfect day, all meals and snacks in line. Even a little bit of exercising in the form of dance. Then….., after I closed out my MFP for the day….., AFTER, I ate my meals & snacks…., I got into the candy dish and ate 9 pieces of mini candy bars (mini 3 muskateers etc.). It totally blew my numbers out of the water. I have went back in today and added it to my log so here are my upgraded numbers, sadly : / 1710 Calories In / 2520 Calories Out. 61 Net Carbs. 13,108 Total Steps & 5.51 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 19 minutes. I danced for 35 minutes burning 212 calories. [color-=crimson]Sample song – “Going Timber” by Pit Bull. A holiday upon us again. I will give it my best shot. January 2nd can’t come quick enough!
01/01 …..189.2 ….. Happy New Year Everyone! Posting late due to starting what will be an incredible amount of paperwork for my business. Quarterly sales tax, Annual Sales tax for 2019 and 2019 Income Taxes. Yesterday was a good day. A little low on calories and a little high on carbs due to spaghetti squash recipe I tried. 675 Calories In / 2634 Calories Out. 30 Net Carbs. 16,099 Total Steps & 6.81 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 17 minutes. I walked in the school for 114 minutes at about 3.0 mph burning 634 calories. Had not walked much for the past three weeks, I could really feel it. Feeling strong!
01/02 …..188.2 ….. Moving back down. I feel committed again. I’m getting my home back to a safe zone and working on getting my son back on the healthy eating and weight loss wagon. He is a 23 year old with Autism and sometimes it is hard to work with him, especially when it comes to food. But with our children, as you know, we never ever give up! Yesterday’s stats: 1145 Calories In / 2752 Calories Out. 60 Net Carbs due to one teeny tiny slice of frozen pizza (from son) when I missed dinner (very long phone call from far-away cousin). 17,628 Total Steps & 7.46 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 30 minutes. I walked twice yesterday. Once for 61 minutes at 2.75 mph burning 276 calories. Once for 30 minutes at 4.25 mph burning 245 calories. Total extra calorie burn 521. I need to be more serious about my water intake.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29: 217.2 (+0.4)/18.2 (+0.1). I had my first real meal in days last night, so this is not unexpected. That being said, my sickness feels like a bit of a reset, one that got me back into some good habits. I'm going to try to take advantage of the "opportunity" I've been "given" (nice way to phrase my horrible illness).
12/30: 218.8 (+1.6)/18.4 (+0.2). As always, I spoke too soon. I need to remember that the moment I'm feeling too good about my progress/work habits is the moment that I let myself slide a little. I could have said no last night, but after my reasonable dinner I had some leftover Caesar salad (wife went out to dinner) and a Cinnabon. There's plenty of blame to go around, but I am the only person that is responsible for me. I regretted both choices as they were happening, but not enough to make me stop/slow down. I'm going to think of this as a "blip," and I'm going to try to move on from it.
12/31: 218.6 (-0.2)/18.3 (-0.1). I was not hungry all day, and I barely ate anything. I had my wife's leftovers for dinner, but for some reason she felt it necessary to make a WHOLE OTHER MEAL that she expected me to partake in (she asked me to eat her leftovers). It was relatively healthy, at least, but I'm going to have to have a little talk with her about MY body and MY right to put (or not put) whatever I want into it... no matter what the circumstances are. I still have not been to the gym since I got really sick, and I probably won't get there until Friday.
1/1: 217.4 (-0.8)/18.2 (-0.1).
1/2: 216.6 (-0.8)/18.1 (-0.1). For those of you who don't know, I'm a psychologist, which doesn't make me any better at any of this than any of you! One thing that's important for me, especially when it comes to health/weight loss, is the idea of "setting my intention(s)." It's a bit like doing the whole New Year's resolution thing, but I like to try to carefully think through the things I need to do in order to reach my goal(s). This includes thinking about what's worked for me in the past (like coming to MFP and JGMTD), but it also includes really thinking about the different things that can potentially derail me. I'm not going to bore you with details, but I know that I have a tendency to relax a bit too much when I start to feel successful here; the minute I talk about how well things are going or how "easy" this is, chances are high that I'm going to slip up a bit. I try to remember to temper the extreme feelings I have (good and bad) because that works for me, and it can be a disaster when I don't do it. I'm going to recommit to the gym 3x/wk (starting tomorrow), knowing that it may take some time to get back where I was a month ago. I'm also going to work on communicating more effectively with my wife; I love her very much, but sometimes that message seems to get lost when we have discussions/arguments. Sorry for being a bit "all over the place." Happy New Year to you all!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29--Back in town after 5 days. We had a great time. I weighed myself when I got home late this afternoon, just to get some idea of how much of a bump up there is on the scale after my snacking and lack of water drinking, and I was only up 3.6lbs. I will weigh in tomorrow morning at my regular weigh-in time to get a more accurate number.
12/30--208.1 Only up 2.5lbs after being out of town, I am happy about that. Strength coach today. Goal for today is to get my water in.
12/31--207.8 Yesterday's workout with my strength coach was really hard, it's surprising how quickly my workouts can suffer when I haven't worked out for a such a short time. I'm back at work today after being off for a week, so the regular schedule today should make it easier for me to get my water in today.
01/01--208.1 Didn't fully get back to normal eating as my husband wanted to go out for dinner and some drinks last night. I went to see my strength coach today and it was another tough workout. I told my coach that for me this year is the year of flexibility, so that is what I will work on this year. Also, by working on my flexibility, it will also help me with my weightlifting.
01/02--207.4 Tonight is my 1st day of a 30 day yoga YouTube program I'm going to do, in order to work on my flexibility.

12/29: 173.9 lbs, highest weight ever today. I've gained 30+ pounds in a little over 3 months. I've not been able to work out due to a running injury, which has sent me spirally out of control weigh wise. Time to be accountable again and log and weigh daily to get this under control. I know what to do and how to be successful in losing weight, just have to start. I don't expect a loss for tomorrow but commit to achieving a loss going forward in the days to come. Starting over is hard, but I have done this before, so I know I can do it again. Looking forward to the next 10 days.
12/30: 173.3 Goals for this round are...pre-log daily meals/calories, IF 16/8, little to no alcohol consumption, and get my exercise back on track with yoga and tentatively see if my foot is ready to ease back into running.
12/31: 172.6 Yesterday was partially successfully with logging and eating IF 16/8 but not the best choices with food and went over on calories by having a couple of glasses of wine. Hoping today to get on my treadmill (hate running indoors but it is a snowy icy mess outside) and see how my foot feels. I have a NYE get-together to go to tonight but am thinking I will skip it, as I don't need the temptations of party food/drinks derailing the little progress I have made this week.
01/01: 171.3 Had a very nice NYE, low key with my family and even enjoyed a little cheese & crackers+ Champagne and still had a loss on the scale this morning. Just sticking to 1 meal today as we went out for brunch and I feel so full even though I made smart choices. I've decided to wait 2 more weeks to see how returning to running feels and I got in a good body strength workout instead.
01/02: 172 Slight blip up from yesterday, no real reason for it...could be because yesterday I slept in and weighed later than normal. I'm doing well with IF 16/8, drinking water, limiting alcohol, not eating outside of meals or overeating, & logging but need to be better with my food choices and staying within my allotted calories. Today I have a double workout planned with a total body barre video + the 1st day of the 30 day YWA, HOME practice, looking forward to getting back into daily yoga.

12/29 Christmas dinner with the in-laws. Had prime rib chili. Still stayed under my calorie count because I slept in and skipped breakfast. Was able to complete my move and stand rings.
12/30 167.2. Bought batteries for my scale last night. Just nearly made my calorie count. Completed move and stand rings. Planned on working out but didn’t get great sleep and needed to go to bed early to catch up.
12/31 DNW fruit for breakfast, salad for lunch. Then got High, ate half a medium pizza to the face, and passed out at 11. Not my best day but completed my move and stand rings
01/01 167.8 gym wasn’t open so went in a 4 mile hike with my fiancé and dog. Under my calorie limit too! All rings completed

Back for Round 100
Female / Age 62 / 5'2"
OW: 158.5 (12/30/18)
UG: 135.0 (for now, healthy weight for me)
Thanks @GrandmaJackie for getting us started! I've been mia, but have been tracking and I'm jumping back in! I've been following along and keeping up with everyone, but not posting myself. Big congrats to everyone making it through the last few rounds. Whether you gained, stayed stable, or managed to move forward with a loss - that's a big accomplishment! This is an easy time of year to just throw your arms up in defeat - and you stayed the course!
A big welcome to all the newbies jumping in with your goals for the New Year! The first step is the hardest. Just remember, one baby step at a time - and don't tie your success (and self-worth) to a number. Small changes add up, and you've stumbled into an amazing group
Intro:Let me introduce myself. I struggled with my weight as a teen, topping out at nearly 200. I dropped it after high school and got to a healthy weight. Every major life changed has brought weight back on - having kids, pre-menopause, menopause, family tragedy, post menopause. I've knocked it back down each time, and have been surprised that each time required a different strategy, and resulted in a different type of lifestyle change to maintain. Each time as been much harder and slower. At this point, it's moving off at a snail's pace.
Motivation. I have a hyatial hernia. It does not bother me as long as I keep the weight at 150 or below. Every female on my mother's side has had arthritic knees, and I'm starting to feel twinges. They have also sustained falls and broken bones. My husband had a major health scare a coupe of years ago. The idea of being put out of commission by a preventable injury or illness scares the bejimminies out of me.
Goals. The goals at this stage are to drop weight to a healthy range, realign my eating style to a lifestyle that will keep me healthy into my golden years, and strengthen the muscles that support my knees, ankles, and shoulders, along with my core, to prevent injury.
Dropping weight post menopausal has been so difficult, I need this to be the last time. 10-15 pounds used to be easy to drop, so that was always my warning bell to focus. Not so much now. Looks like a 3-5 pound fluctuation will be it.
A healthy weight for me is 135-140. I've always looked anorexic at 120. We'll see how things are at 135, and go from there.
Round StatsR95: SW 146.3 GW 146.0 EW 145.3 Results -1.0 loss
R96: SW 145.3 GW 144.0 EW 145.0 Results - 0.3 loss
R97: SW 145.0 GW 144.0 EW 143.8 Results - 1.2 loss
R98: SW 143.8 GW 142.8 EW 145.3 Results - 1.5 gain
R99: SW 145.3 GW 144.3 EW 144.6 Results - 0.7 loss
Strategy: Up the hydrating foods. Fruit with breakfast. Salad/veggies as bulk of lunch. Healthy dinner. Limit/eliminate processed carbs and sugars. Zero calorie intake after 8pm. Strength exercises 3 days on/1 day rest. Regular movement through day to compensate for desk job.
R99 Challenges: My challenges this round will be finding and getting back to a routine. Life has been quite unfair as we moved into the holidays. My son lost his mother in-law in childbirth on Christmas Eve. She was just 48, and left behind three granddaughters who are devastated and the baby was transferred to NICU 3 hours away. My daughter in-law has been with the baby (who is stable now), and we have been trying to help my son with the girls. Then my mother in-law was admitted on Thursday with complications from pneumonia and passed away on Sunday. That things have been stressful and chaotic, is an understatement.
I am proud of myself for being mindful of my emotional and physical self. It will take a concerted effort to stay the course as our family navigates the changes. I spent some quiet time this morning doing my meal planning. I've also looked at my Round Stats, and see that I stayed stable over the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays - that's huge!
R100 SW: 144.6
R100 GW: 143.6
12/29 (S) 145.3 (Trend Weight 144.6)
12/30 (M) 145.5 (Trend Weight 144.7) This is my one year mark for refocusing on my health, and how my eating and exercise plays into that! I am 13 pounds down and 10 pounds away from my UGW. Who'd have ever thought it would be this long and hard?! I am hoping that this is a sign that the loss is not only sustainable, but that the hard fought changes in my habits are becoming ingrained.
12/31 (T) 144.8 (Trend Weight 144.7) Not much to say here that I haven't already said. I am being mindful of my eating, but I need to refocus on fluid intake and exercise. Actually considering investing in a treadmill - this is the first time I have ever felt that I am disciplined enough to use it. I'm watching sales, and sneaking some time in to clear a space for it.
01/01 (W) 144.6 (Trend Weight 144.7) Fixed a Tex-Mex Chicken Soup in the crockpot. Healthy and easy, and should get a couple of days out of it. Son dropped the grandkids off so he could go pick his wife up. Will be a bit of schedule. Again. I have had some water already, though! I need coffee. Not going to be enough coffee in the world today. Lol
01/02 (T) 144.6 (Trend Weight 144.7) Steady. Better than a gain. Grandkids went home last night. We're still off schedule, and I'm still off routine but staying mindful of what I'm eating. I imagine this is going to be the norm until after the funerals. Mother in-law's is Monday. They haven't scheduled the one for my daughter in-law's mother yet (still waiting for autopsy). I've started cleaning and getting ready for influx of family. I have until midnight to decide whether to invest in treadmill (then the coupon expires).

Day/Weight/Comment
01/01 398.8 – Fresh start and never giving up! I am thinking about starting WW again. I just don’t think so. I just think I am going to stick with MFP and my therapist every 2 weeks for now. And really make my health a priority now. Why is this so hard? Why?! Just venting. If any of you have any thoughts on WW positive or negative, please share privately or here. I am a realist, so I do not take any offense just looking for honest feedback and personal experiences whether yours or family and friends. Thanks.
01/02 396.8 (-2.0) – Yesterday was a lazy day. I only ate 2 meals, and both were light and good. No walking. I did some chores around the house. Reflected on my spiritual, health, and financial goals – in that order. Now to put something in writing for spiritual and health goals. Have a great day!

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 lbs.My 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. Round 64 - SW 373.4 EW 369 (-4.4)

12/29 - 195 womp womp, I got down to 189 by Thanksgiving, but then December just went straight to hell. I started going up without any diet changes to 192, and I felt bad about it and powerless so I decided to just give myself a diet vacation until the end of Christmas and now I'm up to 195. Not tooo mad about that because all the junk I ate for the past two weeks only brought me up 3 pounds, but still I'm feeling like it's time to get back on the wagon and stay there
12/30 - 194.2 hooray, going back down. Recommitted to keto and so far so good. I got a lot of exercise in this morning and did pretty well for my diet, but had more carbs than I should have at lunch. I'll try to do better tomorrow
12/31 - 194.2 no change! I'll take that as a win since I felt super bloated this morning and was expecting an increase. Stuck well to my diet and got lots of work done today. Didn't do any exercise but I plan on dancing a lot tonight, so will count that as my exercise. Will try my best not to indulge in any cheat foods and to limit myself to 2 drinks at NYE celebrations tonight. I'd like to start the new year and new decade out on a high note.
01/01 - 192.6! YAY! Down past my goal for the challenge so proud of myself for stinking to my diet goals even while partying last night. I had 2 glasses of wine and a bunless burger with salad. Still had a great time dancing the night away. Stuck to my diet pretty well today but did not resist my fiances' donuts and had about a quarter of one at least I stopped at a quarter.
01/02 - 191.6! I hope I can maintain this loss did much better at sticking to my diet today. First day back at work, struggled to focus due to some personal issues on my mind. will try to work harder at being focused tomorrow

I need accountability so I'm posting here in hopes the fear of letting everyone down will keep me going (and remembering! I forgot day 0 so I had to do that today as well... C'mon brain, let's make yoga a daily habit!)13 -

...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
We used to walk 5 miles a day. A pinched nerve and back surgery side-lined me for about a year. Then I had back surgery. Now I'm waiting to get my hip fixed. Hip Doc said surgery in April. Ugh! I can't do any walking or biking...both kill me. I see my personal trainer three times a week. She is taking it very slow and easy with me.

I've been here before and the accountability helped me a lot. After hitting my goalweight in june 2019 I stopped measering, writing and weighing myself..... The weight went up slowly over the last couples of months
. Lately I find it hard to stay focussed and to commit to the plans I make. So tatadadaaahh, I'm back!! I know this works (it did before), so let this be a renewed start to become a lighter and healtier me
